Having discarded the behavior and rank of Freshmen, and assumed the role of Sophomores, the class of 1950 entered in the fall of 1947 upon its new responsi- bilities and privileges. A few weeks after the beginning of school our class appointed the following officers: President Dena Vose Vice President Phyllis Wilber Secretary Jean Trenholm Treasurer Louise Taylor Student Council Representative James McLaughlin On September 26, our class initiated the Freshmen. A Vic-dance followed. This was our first real activity of the year. Some of the students who participated in or helped with student activities were Louise Taylor, who served on the ticket committee by helping to make a good part of the tickets and by selling them, and Dena Vose, who took part in the Carnival Play. Six boys participated in cross country last fall. ln the North Franklin County Cross Country Meet, Russell Riggs came in first and in the State Meet he was the first of our team to come in. Thus, Kingfield received fourth place. Two girls, Dena Vose and Phyllis Wil- ber, played basketball this year. Eight of our nine boys went out for bas- ketball last fall. Unfortunately, Wendell Dunham broke his arm in one of the last games and he was unable to play in the tournament. At the end of the basketball season, a foul shooting contest was held between the classes with our class coming out on top. The trophies, which were awarded to the winners, were won by Dena Vose and Burchell Morrell. Occasionally, our class sold refreshments at basketball games and during recesses, with the profit going toward our Senior Class Trip. Eight of our boys are out for spring track. ln the intereclass meet Austin Thompson won the most points with Lewis Brackley coming in second.

All day we had to wear unusual clothes, carry books for the Sophomores, carry um- brellas, and all that goes with it. ln the evening we were given a formal initiation and social by the Sophomores. Several of us took part in dramatics dur- ing the year. In the fall each class put on an entertainment in Assembly. Our class had a short play, Bridget's Mistalkeqllzrand most of the members helped out, Helen Knapp and Beatrice Morrell took part in the Carnival play, His First Shave.

Sept. 2 - We all came to school at 8:30 anxious C?l to meet our two new teachers, Principal Clunie and Mr. Graham. We, also, registered, received our school books, and welcomed Mrs. Chadbourne back for another year. Oh, yes! Mrs. Chadbourne asked me to ring the bells this year. Finally, my diamond-studded, two-dollar watch will be of some use! Sept. 4 - All the classes met individu- ally this afternoon and chose their officers for the coming year. Sept. 5 - A teachers' meeting at Strong was held this afternoon. Of course, all the students were utterly disappointed when we found out we had the afternoon off.

Sept. 10 - Strong came to Kingfield to play and again we won without much trouble. Sept. ll - The P. T. A. officers and the teachers met at Mrs. Norton's to organize the program for the coming year.

THE ABRAM BREEZE 'I7 Sept. 17 - Farmington Fair, at last, and a day off! Hurray! Sept. 19 - The Seniors seem to be wear- ing out the road between the school house and North New Portland Fair Grounds. They hope to make a good profit on the fair tomorrow. Richard and Charles are staying there tonight. Here's hoping nothing carries them off although if it does, it won't be carrying off much and will certainly drop them as soon as the sun comes up tomorrow. Sept. 20 - The World's Fair, at last! The Kingfield booth did fairly well this year, considering who ran things.

Week of Oct. 6 Oct. 6 -- We had our first assembly ta- day with the Seniors giving the program. it consisted of a quiz in which certain stu- dents took part, and a reading by Viola Reid.

Oct. 24 - Vantine's agent came today and by the looks of the orders from the Seniors they all intend to raise o big crop of corn next year. Week of Oct. 27 Oct. 27 - Preparations were made to- day for the Halloween Ball. Wonder why Mercurio is limping so? Could it have anything to do with the daring leap that he mode over on the wet floor which ended up with his sitting in a puddle? Oct. 28 - The Halloween Ball was a suc- cess even though there were not many hunters there because of the hunting ban. Today, also, there was a fire at Cathedral Pines. Perley Hinkley was the only one from high school who went. Oct. 29 - Movies on the fundamentals of basketball were shown today.

Also, today, we received the sad news that teachers' con- vention would be postponed to a later date.

Nov. 6 - Dr. Dunlap came today for the physical check-ups so the students rushing from the bottom of the stairs to the top and back again are not out of their heads 18 THE ABRAM BREEZE but simply having their hearts tested.

Jan. 22 - The Seniors presented their two one-act plays, and got a very small crowd. But those at the plays seemed to enioy them immensely. Week of Jan. 26 Jan. 27 - Our teams go to New Sharon tonight. Jan. 30 - Stratton played here tonight. THE ABRAM BREEZE T9 The girls won and the boys' game turned out to be very exciting with Kingfield win- ning by a very few points. The crowd tonight was small because of the poor weather.

A In order to be progressive and sustain complete cooperation each student must have his share of spirit. By spirit, I mean that he should maintain such qualities as friendliness, courtesy, punctuality and initiative. In sports and all other extra-curricular activities as well as in class subjects them- selves, school spirit is necessary in order to make school days successful and happy. It is needless to say that all students in a school cannot be pleased but those who must suffer the unpleasantness of loss should learn to accept defeat honorably. On the other hand, those who have met with victory should act with understand- ing and thereby gain valuable experience in co-operating with others. In my opinion, acquiring school spirit is a maior step toward achieving success in school life and in life's school. Lorraine Knapp '48 HOW KINGFIELD CAN IMPROVE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT Kingfield does not have enough fire equipment. What things they have are usually in working order but there are not enough of them. ln order to secure money for improving our department we would probably have to raise taxes or set aside an amount of money each year. It is very important to have suitable fire equipment to save homes and lives. We have a pumper, ladders and hose that I know about which could stand repair work on them and even new ones would be appreciated. It would be nice if we could have an engine, but I realize that would be too expensive, so if we could have an army truck or something that we could depend on using at every fire, it would help. There should be a man ap- pointed to drive the truck at all times. He should be one that we could rely on and one that would know how to handle it and keep it fit. If we were able to secure any of these things, wherever they are kept, they should be in order and ready to be used at any time. The firemen should be ready night and day to go to fires. For out of town fires, some of the firemen should have their cars ready to go. After such a terrible disaster as the one that happened to one of our homes here in town last fall, I should think that the townspeople would realize how important it is to have proper equipment. It could have been any of their homes as well as the next fellow's. When town meeting comes around in the spring, go over and see what you can do for this purpose. Discuss it and vote on it. Helen Knapp '51 A 4-H DEMONSTRATION On Friday our local 4-H leader, Mrs. Floyd Ellis, gave Beatrice and me a sheet of paper that had the directions for iron- ing a man's shirt. We went through it, reading it carefully and listening as Mrs. Ellis explained it to us. She told us this demonstration would take place on March 24th, at the Universalist Church Vestry. Beatrice and I agreed to meet at her house on Tuesday right after school and practice. This we did. We didn't do very well at first, but if we could go through it a few more times we thought it would be all right. At last, Wednesday evening - the night we dreaded-came. But luck was with us, and we won for the Senior group. This meant that we would go to Farming- ton on March 27th for the county demon- stration. We practiced several times before Sat- urday and we thought we had improved some. Our leader said we had a good chance of winning but, of course, we didn't think we would. You can just imagine our amazement when the iudges announced that the winners of the Senior group were the two girls that ironed the shirt. We were very much surprised and pleased. I think the worst is to come though, for in May we demonstrate over THE ABRAM BREEZE 23 the radio. lt will be on a Saturday morn- ing on Jimmy Golden's show. We don't know the exact date yet. . Louise Taylor '50 OUR TRIP TO THE LEWISTON TOURNAMENT Our basketball boys were asked to en- ter the Lewiston Tournament in February. Mr. Clunie hired a Triangle bus to take those that wished to go. Each of us con- tributed Sl.25 towards paying for the bus. We were to meet at the school house at 10:00 A.M., the time having been changed to that from eleven, as we had been told at first. After we paid for our bus fare and tickets to get into the game, we waited for the bus to arrive. When we finally saw it coming up the road, everyone tried to get into position to grab the best seats. After we finally got seated, we noticed we already had a passenger, Lewis Newcomb of Farmington. Mrs. Vose, our chaperon, began checking her list to see if everyone was there, but, to our dismay, Jean Winter had not arrived. At last, we saw her run- ning toward the bus. Finally, we were on our way. When we reached Farmington, everyone started putting on his coat, because we had heard rumors that we were to change to a larger bus. But we went right through. We all relaxed until we came to Wilton, where we picked up Jane Frenchette, a student at Wilton Academy. You should have heard the Sophomore boys whistle! After Harold Lovejoy had given her his seat and found another for himself, we went on our way again. After quite a long ride, we Lewiston. By going through the business Armory. reached section, we finally reached the Looking out of the bus windows, we saw quite a few people we knew-Kingfield fans, of course-waiting for the doors to open. When the doors did open, we hurried right in and got a seat, because Kingfield was to play the first game. Even though there weren't many King- field people there, when our boys came onto the floor a great cheer went up which, to us, sounded much louder than the cheer when the Greely boys came out. The game was exciting most of the time, and especially so at the end when we were tied and had to play a three minute over- time period. At the end of that period we were tied again. It really became ex- citing then, as the team that got the first two points was to be the winner. Then- the moment came! Kid was fouled and had a chance for two shots. Everyone was tense and quiet. He made the first! If he could only do it again! He did! The Kingfield section went wild. Press men took Kicl's picture, a picture that was pub- lished in the Lewiston Evening Journal. Underneath the picture it said, King- field's Hero. I guess that was true. After our game some of us watched part of the Lincoln-Mexico game. Then, because we were hungry, we decided to go downtown to eat. Some of us went to a movie in the evening because no school that we knew was playing and the seats at the Armory were very hard! After the movie, some went back up to the games, because they still had the price of admis- sion. The rest of us still had money enough to eat on, so we ate and, then, walked up to the Armory again. Arriving there and seeing our bus, we entered and sat down to wait for the rest of the crowd to come out from the games. Soon after ten, we started on our way home. After we had been riding for some time, Bettie started eating apples and Od- lin and I ate dill pickles. They only made us thirstier. Some of us tried to sleep but as Niilo Sillanpaa had a squirt gun, we didn't sleep long at a time. We finally reached Kingfield, and then walked up North Main to get our beauty sleep. We surely needed it. Margaret Niemi '49 WHEN I WENT TO NEW HAMPSHIRE lt was a Saturday night, the night of the finals in the Franklin County Tourna- ment, that we drove to New Hampshire. Amos and Alice Winter and I were to pick up Phyllis Wilber and Robert iStubl Taylor in Farmington. We left the store at nine that evening, supposing that we had everything with us. When we arrived in Farmington, Stub and 24 THE ABRAM BREEZE Phyl were all ready. Phyllis asked me if I had remembered to bring her ski boots and I, trying to get her excited, said, No! But I laughed and she knew that I was kidding. Singing, talking and falling asleep now and then, we left Farmington. Our desti- nation was Berlin, New Hampshire. When we arrived at the Hotel Costello, where we spent the night, we took out our skiis and belongings. Sure enough! I had forgotten to bring not only Phyl's boots but also my own, they were still in the store in Kingfield. The next morning we started for Pink- ham's Notch, a place where they do much skiing. From there we went to Franconia, where there is a large tramway that takes people right to the top of the mountain. Up there we could see all over the place. There were mountains all around and it really was beautiful. We found out that there was not much skiing that day, so we felt better about the lack of ski boots. Maybe I couIdn't say that I skied down Mt. Cannon, but I can, and do, say that I slid a little way on it. Amos, Stub, Phyl and I went out to look around on the top of the mountain. It was terribly slippery and I was wearing shoes and rubbers. When I stepped out to look around, down I went! I slid only a little ways but it was enough to give me a scare because there wasn't anything to hang on to and every time I moved, I slid down farther. After leaving Franconia, we went to North Conway to see the place and to see how the skiing was there. That is a place of style. There were some of the most ex- pensive ski suits that I have ever seen. For a while we watched the skimobile take people up the mountain. We bought pictures and then we returned to Pink- ham's Notch. ' From there we started for home. Since then, several people have inquired as to how anyone can ski without ski boots. Dena Vase '50 THE HOUSE ON CRANBERRY HILL About two weeks ago at the club, a group of boys was talking about strange houses. I ioined the group, but wished afterwards that I had stayed away. The house they were talking about was the old, deserted mansion up on Cranberry Hill. It seems that the owner was murdered and now he roams his house as a ghost. They were telling how no one could stay a night in the place. It had been at- tempted a few times by some unwise or overbrave character. One such person had been found floating down the river a few days after he went up to stay. The rest had either fallen down the stairs and broken their necks or had committed sui- cide. I told them it was all a lot of nonsense. Before I knew what I was doing, I said I would stay a night in the old house. I asked if anybody would go with me, but they had all gone before I had finished the question. The next day I went up with my servant and dog to the gloomy old house. The door was unlocked and off one of its hinges. Dust, which had accumulated in the many years of vacancy, covered the floors and furnishings. To help drive away the gloom, we built a fire in the fire- place. Before Iong the sun went down and I told my servant that we would look for some rooms in which to sleep. As we went up the stairs, a cold dampness struck me and, at the top of the stairs, my dog barked loudly. I told my man to go one way and I went another. I looked in all the rooms and finally found one which was satisfactory - a large room with many windows. After I had built a fire. I looked outside and saw the moonlight forming gruesome shadows on the ground. While I was watching those shadows, I heard a blood-curdling scream come from two doors away. I turned around in time to see my servant running out. I tried to stop him but he pushed me down. Then he half ran, half fell down the stairs and out the door. If I had been wise, I, too, would have gone. Instead, I went toward the room. As I opened the door, I felt that cold dampness again. Nothing else! It being late, I went downstairs and got my blankets and the dog. Then I went up to bed. The fire crackled and snapped THE ABRAM BREEZE 25 and threw weird light about the room. As I was lying there thinking, I noticed my watch slowly slide off the table and disap- pear. Quickly I got out of bed. The candle flickered and went out. I lit it again and this time it went out instantly. That dampness came into the room. The dog barked wildly and then dropped upon the floor. All at once I saw it-a green man, all bloody and slimy-standing be- fore the fire. As I was looking at him, the fire slowly went out and lights flashed about the room. I felt ra cold hand about my throat and I grasped at it, but it -.vasn't there. I struggled and kicked but it still choked on. When I had almost lost con- sciousness, the hold lessened and I breathed once more. The fire came baclg to life and the candle again lit up the room. My watch was on the table, but it never ran again. -. .I gathered up my blankets and the dog and went home. There I found my servant still frightened. The next day I went down to the club and told my story to the boys. They laughed and pinned a Iiar's medal on me. A Richard McLaughlin '49 TWO WEEKS OF MY SUMMER VACATION lAs Recorded in my Diary!

Wanda Bradbury '49 THE SUMMER RAIN All along the meadows And on the grassy plain, You can hear the patter Of the summer rain. It fills up all the rivers, It fills up all the nooks, It makes up bigger rivers Of all the mountain brooks. When the rain is over The sun comes out again, And everything is sparkling Just like a pretty gem. Dena Vose '50 26 me ABRAM sneeze WINTER I think the best time of the year, ls winter when the snow is here. The children love to romp and play, Deep in the snow on a blustry day. To the older folks, it's not such fun, But when it's night and day is done, They sit beside the fire's glow And tell tall tales of long ago. Lewis Brackley '50 SPRING FEVER W5 spring time and the birds return, The buds are on the trees, lt's spring time and your heart will yearn, To follow the birds and bees. lt's spring time and the snow is gone, The wind blows through the trees, lt's spring time and you hear the song, Of the robin in the breeze. Ronald Meldrum '50 THE RACE The horse was running hard and fast, The race was almost done, But soon another horse went past, And then the race was won. The people on the side did cheer, They shouted loud and long, They said 'twas the best race of the year But they, l thought, were wrong. Maybe you think that this is fun, But I do not agree, And when l get this ballad done You'll see no more of me. Ronald Meldrum '50 TI-IE WIND 'Twas all upon a winter's day. The snow began to dance and play. The wind did whistle in the trees As scraps of paper flew with the breeze The house tops rattled loud, and shook, As the wind swept down a nearby brook The telephone poles did start to sway, As the snow and wind continued to play Ronald Meldrum '50 0 'f 'W Nv Q I ' ' ' 1 L If DPAIVIATICS Q M 28 THE ABRAM BREEZE SENIOR PLAY CAST First row, left to right: M.

GIRLS' ATHLETICS Last fall the girls played softball during Activity Period and this spring they plan to organize a team. The girls' basketball season opened early in November, under the coaching of Principal Clunie. There were fourteen girls out for practice. When Jean Winter C481 dropped out, she became our Man- ager. Marilyn Allen C511 was our Assistant-Manager. This year the Student Council purchased one dozen bright scarlet and white basket- ball uniforms which the girls were very proud to wear. They have really earned them. With the loss of only two of last year's players, the team made a good record. Last year we were tied with Phillips for second place in the Franklin County Small School League. Rangeley won the cham- pionship. This year we won second place, Phillips got third and Rangeley was again in top place. Of the fifteen games played, the girls won nine, tied three, and lost three. The first team was as follows: FORWARDS Viola Reid, Captain C481 Left Forward Dena Vose C501 .. . , Center Forward Dawn Davis C491 Right Forward GUARDS Noida Loucke C491 , Center Guard Bettie Packard C491 Left Guard Phyllis Wilber C501 Right Guard SUBSTITUTE FORWARDS Beatrice Morrell C511 Helen Knapp C511 Minerva Sillanpaa C511 SUBSTITUTE GUARDS Christine Donahue C481, Kathryn Dyer C511 Norma Pinkham C511 Ethel Phillips C511 The following is a schedule of games for the school year '47 and '48 and their scores.

An ALL-STAR game for the girls as well as for the boys was held at Phillips on March 5. Forward Viola Reid and Guard Naida Loucks were chosen to represent Kingfield. The All-Stars played against the undefeated Rangeley team. The game was exciting, but the champs won 23-17. Mrs. Gerald Vaughn of Stratton was the All-Stars' coach. The girls taking part re- ceived certificates. A foul shooting contest was held at Webster Hall in February. Dena Vose C'50J, the winner with 12 shots out of 25, received CI small trophy. ,mire 32 THE ABRAM BREEZE CROSS-COUNTRY, TRACK First row, left to right: H. Simmons, R. Rigs, C. Trenholm, A.

Donald Murray got water on the knee while playing against Farmington State Teachers College. Buddy Dunham was put out of bas- ketball for the rest of the season when he collided with the wall at Phillips. John Winter and Howard Simmons were chosen to represent our school on the All- Star Team. Burchell Morrell and Howard Simmons were chosen to represent Kingfield High School at the Rules Interpretation Clinic at Farmington State Teachers College. The game at Phillips was the most ex- citing game of the season. Both schools were tied in games won and lost. As the game opened we started toward an easy victory. We were leading at the halt. Then as the game drew to an end the score resulted in a tie. After one over- time period the score was still tied. This led to another overtime period which was declared Sudden Death. By a fumble by our team, Rangeley got possession of the ball. lt was passed to Bartlett . . . he THE ABRAM BREEZE 35 paused for a second and then let the ball fly ........ the ball went gracefully through the hoop. Rangeley had won 35-33. At the Franklin County Tournament we lost to Rangeley and won over Stratton. When we played Strong for Consolation, we won 30-29. This year we lose one of our star play- ers, Charles Trenholm. Charles has been very loyal to his school both in sports and other activities. He has played baseball, basketball, and has run cross-country and track. The Sophomores, with Burchell Morrell as their knight, won the foul shooting con- test between the classes. We played at the State Tournament, this making the second consecutive year that we have participated in it. On February 26th at 1:30 we tangled with Greeley In- stitute and won 37-36 in a Sudden Death game. The honors of the game went to Kid Murray who made the nec- essary two points for the win. The next day we played West Paris and lost. Mr. Clunie fgirls' coachi, Mr. Graham fboys' coachj, Miss Winter igirls' managerl, and Mr. Durrell iboys' monagerj wish to thank the townspeople for their willing co-operation in transporting the two teams. 36' THE ABRAM BREEZE Q C fgy ,NP ' AV W 9 61 ni ,fm c:-I KJ. hx!- '.: -.f vyllxsv 7 ,- N y w rf X X 6 . o 19 x 'Q Because we have published no year- We have received word that the follow book for several years, we have no list of ing schools wish to exchange with us this exchanges for l947. year: Rangeley Strong Phillips New Sharon Jay Solon Bangor and Wilton Academy We hope to have more exchanges next year.

I wonder where The flowers is. A good way to prevent nosebleed is to keep the old schnozzle out of other peo- pIe's business. On a quiz given recently one of the questions was: Name two ancient sports. A freshman wrote: Anthony and Cle- opatra. Mrs. Chadbourne: What inspired the pioneers to set forth in covered wagons?

HEARD ONMTHE SENIOR CLASS TRIP While on the class trip some of the sen- ior boys were standing outside their hotel when a small negro boy came up to Charles and said, Shoe shine, mister? Charles: No. Negro boy: Shine 'em so you can see your face in 'em. Charles: I said no. Negro boy: Coward! You fellows have room 209, said the bellboy at the Piccadilly Hotel. You'll have a comfortable night since it has a feather bed. At 2:00 o'clock in the morning Vernon awoke his companion. Change places with me, Everett, he groaned. It's my turn to lie on the feather. While in York, Pa., the Seniors saw a sign on a theater window reading Serv- ice Men-25c. Gloria Washburn hur- riedly pushed her way through the crowd to the ticket office, put down a dollar and said, I'II take four sailors. While waiting for our bus to be re- paired in Aberdeen, Maryland, Robert de- cided to send a post card home.

I'm a mind reader, Robert replied, Sonny. I guessed it right, didn't I? around and started said, Guess where The boy turned walking away and the postoffice is, then. Bashful Mexico boy to Lorraine: May I kiss your hand? Lorraine: Whatsa matter, is my mouth dirty? Senior Theme Song . What you don't know doesn't hurt,you but it amuses a lot of other people. .- Father fmeaninglyl: Who is the laziest member of your class, Austin? Austin: I don't know, pa. Father: I should think you would know. When all the others are industri- ously studying or writing their lessons, who sits idly in his seat and watches the rest, instead of working himself? Austin: The teacher. Margaret: Betty told me that you told her that secret I told you not to tell her. Arlene: She's a mean thing. I told her not to tell you. Margaret: Well, I told her I wouIdn't tell you she told me, so don't tell her I told you.

THE DUEL Fair Howard and Big David, Sir, One cold and wintery day Did disagree at school, fair Sir, In such a frightful way. Said Dave, You stepped upon my corn. l'll do it once again, Fair Howard did avow, that morn, Tl1at's how it all began. Dave shook a knitting needle, Sir, At Howard's brawny arm, If you dare step upon me, Sir, With this you'll come to harm. Then Howard grinned, his eyes did shine, He grasped a safety pin. Ohl Dave, l'll bet this pin of mine Will drive much deeper in. There matters stood that dreadful day While Dave his courage gained, Dave made a pass at him they say, Then drew back much pained. For Howard had with dread weapon, A lowly safety pin, First drawn red blood that day upon The manly David's skin. They thrust and counter thrust, dear Sir, 'Til David did give way, And Howard stood the victor, Sir, Upon that fateful day. They laid their weapons down, I swear, And all is calm again. For Howard and Big Dave both wear Once more a great big grin. FXLUVWNI fly 535195 gx jx gf , I x ,,. 44 'I947 Glennese Taylor, nee Vose - at home in Kingfield. Nadine Nichols-at home in Kingfield.
