R - THE ABRAM BREEZE 9 CLASS OF 1952 JUbHOR First Row, left to right: M. Knapp, holm. Back Row: Boyce, Tufts, E. Vose, O. Absent: Stevens, C. Howard. On the morning of September 6, an even dozen of us crossed the hall to become regular members of Mr. Spring's room. That meant that we had success- fully met all obstacles so far and were now entering upon the last half of our high school career. That after- noon we met in our first class meeting of the year and chose the following officers: President Virginia Trask Vice President Nhlcolm Knapp Secretary Gloria Dyer Treasurer Richard Trenholm Student Council Representative Charles Howard Leo Boyce represented our Class in the carnival play. Gloria Dyer, Vir- ginia Trask, and Leo Boyce had parts in the three-act play. CLASS Dyer, V. Trask, Donahue, R. Tren- Thompson, McLeary. Many of us have been active in athletics. Ruth Donahue, Gloria Dyer, amd Virginia Trask have played on the girls' basketball team. Gloria and Virginia have been cheer leaders. Although Richard Trenholm has played on the Iunior Varsity basketball team, he has also been on the Varsity squad. Other members of the Varsity team included Odlin Thompson, Robert Tufts, and Edgar Vose. Malcolm Knapp was manager for the boys' teams. Last spring. CHlin Thompson, Robert Tufts, amd Edgar Vose played baseball: Odlin Thompson, Richard Trenholm, and Edgar Vose were on the track team. Last fall. Richard ran cross country, finishing for the second consecutive year in second place in the county meet and helping Kingfield to win the meet. Odlin Thompson has represented Kingfield High School in winter sports IO THE ABRAM BREEZE CLASS OF 'I953 First How, left to right! JT Trask, Packard, Parsons, Boynton, Dunham. Back Bow: Meldrum, R. Taylor, Flannigan, N. Trenholm, L. Hewey. President Jacqueline DeShon Vice President Elizabeth Kirkwood Secretary Feverly Boynton Treasurer Robert Taylor Student Council Representative Edward Fla nigan When the class of 1953 came back to school in September, we found that we had thirteen members. After three weeks of school Elizabeth Kirkwood, a popular girl of our class, was taken ill with Polio for which she is still taking treatments in the Hyde Memo- rial Home in Bath. We hope that she will be with us again in the coming years. A while later we lost two more members, Jacqueline DeShon and Emerson Barron, leaving us with a smaller class of ten. This also meant that we had to elect a president pro tempore because both our president and vice president had left us.We chose Eleanor Parsons. The first social event we undertook was Freshman Initiation which was en- joyed by all. We have had a few fudge sales to raise our class funds. Two of our class helped produce the Carnival play. They were Norman Trenholm, who was Heap Chief Tail Feather, an Indian Chief, and lawrence Hewey, who acted as prompter. Ioan Trask and Christie Packard had parts in the annual three- act play. Our class has been exceptionally active in sports.Beverly Boynton, Ernestine Dunham, Eleanor Parsons, and Ioan Trask were on the girls' cham- pionship basketball team. Christie Packard was co-manager of it. Joan Trask has been one of the cheer lead- ers who tried to arouse enthusiasm for our teams. Edward Flannigan, Lawrence Hewey, Bryce Meldrum, Robert Taylor and Norman Trenholm played baseball. Robert and Norman ran cross country. Edward, Lawrence, and Norman played on the Junior Varsity basketball team: Bryce and Robert have played on the Varsity team. In addition to this, Robert has participated in winter sports.

September 5 was the opening date hr school when nineteen Freshmen climbed the stairs to enter Kingfield high. That afternoon we elected of- ficers as follows: President Nancy Howard Vice President Norman Knapp Secretary Mahlon Nhhhllen Treasurer John Edgerly Student Council Representative Marilyn Raymond The big day of the year for all Freshmen was September 29, Freshman kitiation Day. On that date there were many peculiar looking persons roving around school. Each one had to dress like a comic book character, or a movie star specified by the Sophomores. That evening we had the reception at Webster Hall. We were all glad when it was over, but every one agreed that we were not used too badly. Three of our members, Norman Knapp, Jean Pushard, and Theodore Thompson, had parts in the play 'Wilbur's Wild Night'. Theodore and Victor Nichols were in the three-act play 'Lights Cmt'. We were fairly well represented in sports. Although Mahlon McMullen was our only member on the varsity basket- ball squad, Basil Chadbourne, Norman Knapp, and Theodore Thompson played on the junior varsity team. On the girls' basketball team were Katherine Loucks, 12 THE ABRAA4 BREEZE Jean Pushard, and Marilyn Raymond. Leone Chadbourne was co-manager for the girls' team. lean Pushard was one of the four cheer leaders. Kendric Lane left us after about twelve weeks of school: then we gained a new member when Marilyn Dawson transferred here from Massachusetts.

EDITORIALS S In looking over the old records of our school, I find that Kingfield High School is graduating this year its forty-fifth class to go out from the Stanley School. Don't misunderstand me. I know there has been a Kingfield High School longer than that. However, these earlier classes attended what is now known as the little school. ln the month of June, 1906, there was graduated a class that had started in the old building but that had finished in the new one. What an achievement that was for the people of Kingfield, and how proud that class must have been! In the long stretch of years be- tween then and now the school has seen its graduates and undergraduates go forth to help fight in two major wars. At the present time more of her grad- uates are entering the armed forces, and one of her former students, a vet- eran, is now back finishing his high school education which World War II had interrupted. There have been other crises during these years. For instance, written into the records of the school in 1912 is this statement recorded by one of the teachers: 'The second half of the first term was broken up by diph- theria. The schools were shut down Tuesday November 26, 1912. The days of this second half were made up during Xmas and New Year's week ..... ' Doubtless some of you recall other times when the school was temporarily 14 THE ABRAM BREEZE closed because of some current epi- demic. ' Many things are different now from what they were in 1906, but Kingfield High School is still sending its graduates out into the world. They still face the problem of deciding what they will do with their lives and what they owe to their country. And once again Kingfield is facing the problem that it solved earlier at the turn of the century - the problem of adequately educating its school population. Within the last five years it has had to double the teachf ing staff at the little school to take care of the increased enrollment. Later on, those enlarged classes will work their way up through the grades and rooms at the Stanley School to become members of Kingfield High School. Will there be room for them? What is even more important, will there be offered to them courses that will best enable them to become re- liable and responsible citizens? THE NEW TROPHY CABINET In the past four years Kingfield High School has won trophies in all the branches of athletics in which the school has participated. Although we were very pleased with the awards and we appreciated the efforts of our teams and their respective coaches, we were sorry that we had no suitable place to display these trophies. The cabinet which we had wasalreadyfilled and overflowing with cups won in former years. New cups were placed on a table, sometimes getting hit and damaged, and often gathering dust. It was, therefore, with much pleasure that we viewed a new cabinet which the town had built during the summer into the wall between the main hall and the principal's office. Now displayed in it are our newest trophies, no longer crowded together on one corner of a table, but arranged in the new cabinet where all who visit our school nay view them. Paul Cory 'Sl AUDIO-VISUAL AIDS We have added to our equipment this year a tape recorder and a film-strip projector. The recorder was largely financed by the Crowell-Collier maga- zine subscription contest in which Kingfield participated last fall,- the first time for several years. ln the contest the Seniors and the Freshmen teamed up against the Juniors and the Sophomores. The latter team won, with prizes for most sales for girls and for boys both going to students in the Sophomore class. They were Beverly Boynton and Edward Flannigan. The film-strip projector was pur- chased for the benefit of all the grades in the Kingfield schools with funds obtained from a scrap paper drive. It has already been used by several groups. These two machines, along with the moving picture projector which we already had, give us opportunity to take advantage of some of the newer audio-visual aids in education. Paul Cory '51 HOMEMAKING A new class was offered to the students of Kingfield High School this year. It has been named Home- making and it has included study about many of the numerous and varied tasks that do go into homemaking as well as the growth and behavior patterns of children and adults and their problems of fitting into family life. Although we have a good supply of textbooks, we do lack most of the equipment to Carry on such a Course to best advantage. The girls made pickles and tomato juice last fall with equipment brought from home for THE ABRAM BREEZE 15 those particular days. Later, they made yeast bread at school and took it home to bake it off, because of the lack of baking facilities at school. At home they made various other kinds of bread. They have made apple and mince pies which had to be baked in various homes. Along with this work they have studied foods and nutrition. In the clothing field they have studied the different kinds of fibers a d fabrics, colors and clothes. They have studied gntenm and are at present attempting to sew some. They can cut and baste at school, but all stitching has to be done at home. Some have learned to crochet lace. It is mostly this group of girls and their teacher that have carried on a hot lunch program for the'Stanley School. Beginning with the Monday before Thanksgiving they have pre- pared a hot dish, cocoa, some form of soup or chowder, baked potatoes, or chop suey each day during the winter months. They even served their apple and mince pies to the high school students who were taking their lunch at that time. Although this has meant extra work outside of their class, it has provided much experience for them in the actual cooking of food. Virginia Trask '52 TO GRADUATES At this time an impending crisis of ever increasing importance faces this country and its graduating classes of 1951. Many graduates ask,'What am I going to do?' or 'What ca lfdo about this situation?' In answer, it is safe to say to the graduate: Plan: make your plan fit into the events of the coming years. Pick a vocation which will conform to your plan and one in which you can do your best. Then, take up that vocation which you have picked and strive to excel. To answer the second question is more difficult. For one thing, all physically fit young men and women On behalf of the students of King- field High School the editors of 'The Abram Breeze' extend thanks to the residents of Kingfield who have helped us during the current year.Among other things, you have attended our ath- letic contests, and helped to make our Carnival a success. You subscribed to will form the nucleus of the greatest army in our history. Enlist in the armed services in order to help your- self and your country. Many vocations are waiting for you there.If you can't enlist in the armed forces, you can enter a defense plant or some type of work which will enable you to better yourself and at the same time strengthen your country. Educators and skilled technicians are badly needed to teach and build a strong nation. These two things you can do. Plan for your own and for your country's welfare. Carry out your plan to the fullest extent. Henry Carey '51 magazines, and you donated scrap paper to increase our school funds. We are all deeply grateful to Mr. Charles Wilson who gave us a set of history books containing 22 volumes, and also a large relief map of the United States. For all these things we tha k all of you.

As I crawled over the accumulated debris,I thought to myself,'Why in the world do we save all this junk anyway?' I climbed over an ancient butter churn: then, my eyes rested on an old radio. It was all battered and scratched: and when I looked into the back of it, I found that most of the tubes were gone. I continued on my way, passing a rack of old clothes and two broken rocking chairs. I tripped over an electric light cord from a floor lamp which had been replaced by a more modern one and sprawled over numerous cardboard boxes, saved because they were just right to fit something or other. Resuming my zig-zag course through articles of no apparent or conceiv- able value, I finally reached the corner where I thought I had put the stick of wood I needed, After peering around in this dark corner for sev- eral minutes I spotted the end of the board protruding from beneath a mas- sive pile of old magazines. In pull- ing out the board the only harm I did to knock an old alarm clock from was its reclining place on the papers to the floor. ' All this time I had been muttering to myself and resolving to tell the other responsible members of my fam- ily not to put any more junk in that chamber when it really belonged on the dump. Then I thought: This wood --and those broken tools amd trinkets in the opposite corner -- I brought those things and many others up here! It was then that I realized that I was as guilty as the rest. The practice of carting everything unusable to the attic and forgetting it seems to be a common human trait. Perhaps the reason for this is that people have learned by experience that after they dump some things, often the next objects they need are the things thus disposed of. There- fore everything eventually winds up in the attic. Malcolm Knapp '52 . MY FIRST AIRPLANE RIDE We were over to Phillips one Sunday afternoon talking to some friends near Dick Haymond's airfield. My father wanted to go up and my brother did too. I said I would like to my- self. We went down to the airport. Mr. Raymond was just putting the plane in the hangar, but he said he would take us up if we wanted to go. We told him that we did. My brother got in and so did I7 however I didn't like it in there so I got out. My father got in and they took off. I never did get an airplane ride. John Edgerly '54 A JACK-O-LANTERN EXPERIENCE One night in late October a little elderly Child named Jerry and his grandfather were sitting in the liv- ing room of Ierry's home. It was very quiet except for the fire in the fireplace until Jerry asked, 'Grand- pa, will you help me make a jack- o-la tern for Halloween?' 'Yes,' 'we will answered the grandfather, make it tomorrow night on the bank of the stream.' 'Thank you, Grandpa.' The next night the elderly man and the child sat on the bank of the stream making the jack-o-lantern. Jerry asked,'Why do you cut the top of the pumpkin off?' 'So you can clean it out and make the eyes, nose and mouth easier.' After the 'jack' was finished, Jerry found a candle to put into the clean pumpkin. The grandfather did not put it in the pumpkin and Jerry was sur- prised. He made the request.'Grandpa, why don't you put the candle into my jack-o-lantern?' The elderly man pulled up his shirt sleeve and said, 'Son, you have seen this scar before, but I never told you how I got it. It was years ago when my 20 THE ABRAM BREEZE brother and I had 'jacks' like yours. I tipped mine over to one side too far and the candle fell out on my arm. This scar is what I got to pay for my experience.' 'How old were you?' 'About your age.' - 'What can I put in my jack-o-lantern instead of a candle?' 'You could use your father's flash- light.' . Jerry used a flashlight to light his lantern and didn't get a scar. Leone Chadbourne '54 JANGLE JANGLE 'Jangle! Ianglel' Nothing but si- lence from the occupants of the bed- room. 'Iangle! Iangle!' Then a faint groaning sound followed by another 'langlef' 'For Heaven's sake, answer that telephone.' ' 'But. Dear, it isn't the telephone. It's the alarm clock.' 'Well, shut it off then. It can't be time to get up.' A 'But it is time to get up,' says a feminine voice. A muffled sound fol- lows. Then again thevfeminine voice pleads,'Dear, please get up or you will be late for work again.' A blaring voice finishes this com- mercial:'Is this the way you feel in the morning? Does your wife have to nag you into getting up in the morn- ing? If so, you,should take Dr. Xa- vier's Heel-e-SmoothNitamins! Then you will feel Heel-e-Smooth again! Guaranteed to work in all ways! This is Station Q.B.C. broadcasting Monday through Friday.' Virginia Trask '52 TOURNAMENTS February 9, 1951, marked the begin- ning of the annual Franklin County Basketball Tournament. Most people think that the purpose of the tourna- ment is to choose the best team in the county by matching the teams, and the successful ones playing off the following days until the winners are determined. If that is the main purpose, there are others that are very valuable to the schools that are concerned. Let us consider first of all the finan- cial a gle. It costs a small school a lot of money to play basketball. Expenses for equipment, trans- portation and above all for referees for home games may be more than the income from spectators at the home games. In the past that difference has often been turned into a profit by our school's share of the profits from the tournament. Even if that were not so, there are still important reasons for partici- pating in tournaments from the view- point of the student. Members on the on the team come to appreciate even more than before the great importance of teamwork. They must work together for the good of all. They have to remain cool-headed in the midst of a wildly excited crowd and in the face of the toughest opposition. Players a d student spectators alike have the opportunity to meet a d visit schools a d people that they would not other- wise know. And in a world such as ours today it is important that an individual know about people outside of his own little community, even if those people are only from another similar community within his own state. With this knowledge he is more ready to meet and accept people still further from his own little circle. In addition to this, think of the free advertising a school and a town get from a team that is successful, especially in the larger state tournaments. If your team gets near the top, no longer do you have to meet the vacant stares of people who say: Kingfield? Where's that? Even if you don't succeed in climbing to. or near to, the top, you still have had a thrilling experience. And you may be able to say: Sure, we lost. But to whom? They went on right to the top. They're the best there is. And all will agree that it is no disgrace to to lose to a superior team. Robert Niemi '51 THE ABRAM BREEZE 21 PEACE? we have just fought a major war. A war in which our soldiers, sailors, amd marines fought on the icy shores of the Aleutians, across the blinding deserts of Africa and amid the steam- ing jungles of the Pacific Islands. We know briefly of the three major operations in which American forces participated - namely, the driving of the German and Italian armies out of norther Africa, the recovery of the Pacific Islands from their Japanese conquerors, and the final drive of the Allies across northern France and the Rhine, which brought the downfall of Hitler's Reich. we know that the efforts of the Allies in conferences planning the cooperation necessary for victory in the war and for harmony in the peace that was to follow were great. Most of us know the origin and structure of the United Nations Organizations and the measures which our qovernment has taken and will continue to take to help the im- poverished and undeveloped countries. Into our history has been recorded the most amazing discovery of the ages in the production of atomic energy, with its awful threat of total destruction or its benefits to mankind, if used for peaceful pur- poses. And now everyone can see the rift between the Western Democracies and the Communist governments as it constantly widens. Now the United States and the Soviet Union stand facing each other in an attitude of mutual suspicion which threatens to surplant the noble idea of One World of United Nations by a world divided into two hostile blocks of nations with the western democracies under the leadership of the United States, and the group of Communist states dominated by the Soviet Union and Stalin. Already there is open, if undeclared, warfare between the two groups in the armies of the United Nations opposing the open aggression of the Communistic forces of Northern Korea and China. Is there no way a global war can be averted and peace can be realized for that vast majority that is weary of war? Is there no alternative butwar if we are to preserve those rights and' freedoms that are so dear to the hearts of all freedom loving peoples? Is war which in itself may bring total destruction our only hope? Virginia Trask '52 SORRY. WRONG NUMBER It was seven o'clock one Sunday morning in mid-summer. The Blands were still sleeping because of the late hours kept the night before. At approximately seven-thirty there was a loud ring that broke the silence. The telephone! It rang once, twice, then a third time. Finally there was a stir from one of the bedrooms. At last maybe one of those sleepy heads will answer that thing and keep it quiet. Alas! All they did was to turn over, the husbamd saying, 'Answer the phone, Dear: I'm asleep.' Another silence except for the still ringing telephone. Now we hear a second voice, that of the wife. 'Hon, would you mind getting up to see if the baby is all right?' The husband, 'Sure, Dear.' 'And please answer the telephone now that you are up: it's keeping me awake.' With a growl the husband, having forgotten his slippers, clomped down- stairs in his bare feet. With a bang he lifts the receiver off the hook and shouts into the mouth piece, 'Hellol' There is a short wait: then the operator says, 'Sorry. Wrong num- ber.' Gloria Dyer '52 HOLIDAYS, THEN AND NOW The name 'holiday' is derived from 'Holy Day'. It is a time when people leave their work to celebrate a cer- tain historical event or to commem- orate a date of religious signifi- cance. Back in the days when most of our holidays were created people cel- ebrated holidays by making speeches and thinking about or worshiping the 22 THE ABRAM BREEZE subject of the holiday. Now a few of us think about the subject of the holiday and sometimes we have parades and speeches. but the majority of the people think of a holiday as a day of no work. One of the worst aspects of modern holidays is the habit of many people to use liquor to help them celebrate. They often get drunk and then pile into their cars and go to a party, a dance, or go visiting. This often turns holidays into 'horror days', regular massacres in which three hun- dred people may be killed in one weekend by traffic accidents. There are groups who are trying to do something about this. Perhaps the greatest influence against drunken driving over a holiday is the radio. Warnings are broadcast repeatedly for the people not to drink if they plan to drive: or if they feel they must drink to some degree, to at least drink some black coffee before coming home from a cocktail party. News- papers urge the same things. In spite of these warnings thou- sands of drivers will venture onto the highway after taking a drink.Many of them will be killed or injured: what is even worse, they will kill or maim many innocent people. People should take all holidays more seriously. They should be used to commemorate the things they were named for. Not a few, not a majority, but all the people must find a way to celebrate that does not include driv- ing under the influence of liquor. Malcolm Knapp '52 THE BIRTHDAY OF A GREAT AMERICAN -FEBRUARY 12TH We have just passed February 12th, the birthday of a great American. I think that it is fitting that we should pause to think about him for a moment. He was born amidst very humble sur- roundings in the early part of the nineteenth century in one of our frontier states. His father was a poor illiterate carpenter-farmer. Al- though his own mother had died during his childhood, his father married again, thus providing a mother for the home. The family moved several times, always westward. This America had very little form- al schooling, just a few months at a one-room country school. But that didn't stop him, for he learned everything he could by reading books, listening to speeches, and talking to learned people. The young woman he loved in his younger years died, a fact which deeply saddened his already melan- choly spirit. Later he married an- other and had four sons, of whom only one lived to grow up. This famous man, when he had in- curred a debt, never failed to repay the loan,even after years had elapsed and the other party may have forgot- ten about it. He trained himself for the bar and practiced law for a time. He was a member of the state legislature sev- eral times. He carried his beliefs to the people in the famous Lincoln- Lbuglas debates, which paved the way for him to be elected president even though they failed to get him elected to the U. S. Senate frpm Illinois in 1858. He was elected president ofthis country in one of the most,critica1 times we have ever had: but he nobly guided us through the war between the states. Had he not been assassinated by a fiend he would have carried out a sound, fair policy of reconstruc- tion instead of the scandalous one that was pursued. Most men would not have been able to overcome all the troubles and trials, endure all the privations and all the grief that this man did. Yet he withstood them all: and at the same time he was able to help his fellow men of all races to enjoy a happier and better life than they would have had had Abraham Lincoln not lived.

Are the ones I don't have to read. One night when I had my studying done My father said to me, - 'Daughter, why don't you ever bring home Your U.S. History?' 'My history, Pop? Aw, that's too easy! And besides, I haven't time.' Well, when six weeks had rolled around I wished I had taken time. My dad just looked at my rank card And then he looked at me.

They at last set off for the dance Where he thought they might cut a rug But when he found he had gum on his pants, It really was the end for poor Doug.' Gloria Dyeri '52 DONKEY FUN One stormy night in January Of nineteen fifty-one The Legion and the Odd Fellows Met for a bit of fun. The sport was donkey basketball They played with all their might, Some guys didn't even get the ball It was a funny sight. Taisto Maki's little mule Was gentle as the spring air,- Shethrewhim head over heels Bight into a folding chair. By the time Charles K. had tumbled off And got hold of the ball His little donkey could be seen At the other end of the hall. At the end of the game three of our girls Poochie, Jo and Gin, Raced on wooden donkeys To see which one could win. Then three of our boys did the same thing And three of the older men, too. lt was really more fun I actually think Than an afternoon at the zoo. I think every one enjoyed himself And I am no exception! And if they ever bring the donkeys back They'll get a grand reception. Ruth Donahue '52 BASKETBALL PRACTICE At practice each and every night We shoot fouls from the floor, If we do miss, Oh! what a plight For then we shoot some more. We dribble with care around the hall Until we dribble fine But we can not carry the ball ' Across the center line. Beverly Boynton '53 26 THE ABRAM BREEZE THE BUSIEST THING Oh, the busiest thing we have in our school Though it has nothing to do with our books Is the long green table which stands in the hall.

Joan Trask '53 CHAMPS We the girls at Kingfield High Demand a chance to speakg For we think our winning games Is more than a lucky streak. TheBangeleygirls have tried three times To put us in our place, But we just struggled with all our might And played at a terrific pace.

The only one who finally took it, And this is on the level, Was a man who lives in a scorching place, A red eyed, horned Devil.
