The story of James and John is, in a large measure, our story. We expect great things in life. VVe have high ambitions. We seek to be kings and leaders in spite of our background and equipment of subjects. Please do not misunderstand, there is noth- ing wrong with having high ambitions and high hope of receiving good things from life. The important thing, the necessary thing, is that we have our eyes open. The way of leadership is a long hard way and sometimes bitterly painful. We must not overestimate the value of education think- ing that it will make our way any less pain- ful and ditlicult. An education does not guarantee us the maximum of life's rewards. If we hope to be kings and leaders, we should realize that there is a hard road of effort and endeavor that we must travel be- tween ambition and accomplished fact. We may dream of getting those elusive things called the breaks of life, we may take hope in other's success stories, but our way is not as easy as that. The world which we so hopefully and so joyously enter is not our world, not a young people's world. It is our elder's world. If we aspire to be kings and leaders in their world, we will find all too readily that we must fight for every inch of advancement. With us, as with James and John, our answer to the question Are ye able ? is ever so important. Are ye able to make sacrifices, to keep a high standard of honor, to suffer defeat and disappoint- ment, and to keep on working when the cause seems lost? If we can answer, Yes, O DD7775?PD777DD7773DDDDDDDDJPDDDDD 777993937573?DD7D7PDDD75 D?DDD7DDDD7DD77D77D3375555575D75 N I N ETE E N O Qmyamvmmvmnmmmnmv T H E L A N C A S T R l A N 44444444QQRCCGCGQCQQCCGQCCCQCCKK. Lord, we are able then at least we have the satisfaction of knowing that our efforts are made in the right spirit, even though the world fails to crown our eHorts with great material rewards. Jesus, who points out the difiiculty of the way and asks of us, Are ye able? , also shows us by the example of His own life how we, too, may say, Lord, we are able. It is not my purpose to give a full biography of Him whose strong abundant life should be so familiar to all, but there are a few salient points of that life which I desire to recall to your mind. It is said of the Son of God that he learned obedience through the things which he suffered. In a large mea- sure that is the sort of world in which we will iind ourselves struggling-a world in which we shall learn obedience through the things which we suffer. There seems to be no other way. God's Son suffered, so too must we, if we are to learn anything at all. We certainly have no right to expect not to suffer if we aspire to leadership. lk Ill lk Ik lk And finally Jesus suffered death upon the cross. Perhaps we think this has nothing to do with us, that crucifixion belongs to the barbarians of the dim and distant past. And yet men of high ideals and high ambi- tion are crucified daily by the world. At that time there comes a spiritual disillu- sionment that eats away our courage. When that time of despair comes, and if we hope high it will come, it is our part to keep sane, to keep our eyes open and our heads clear, lest we become confirmed cynics who find no merit in life. In that time with the Master we may be able to take the worst that the world can give in patient suffering. If we can be crucified by the world and still be able to keep our ideals and our ambition alive, then indeed we shall be Kings! These are words of courage for a darker day. Fifteen years ago I stood where you are 'standing knocking at the door of life and thinking no doubt as you are thinking that if all the baccalaureate speakers who were advising the youth of the country were laid end to end it would be an extremely good thing. I have dwelt on the difficulties before you merely to open your eyes to the tasks that lie ahead. When I received my high school diploma it was with tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat, for somehow 1 sensed that my happiest days were behind me. I am happy to say that my senses tricked me on that occasion. There have been happier days and I expect still happier days ahead. Life after all is what we make it. How trite and true that is. So much depends on our attitude. The difference between folks is chiefiy in their attitudes. The pessimist at the banquet says, Is there any milk in that pitcher? The optimist seated beside him says, Please pass the cream. lk lk HI' 8 lk Do not misunderstand me. There are sad and serious moments we cannot laugh away. Life is a serious business, there are hard things, solemn moments, dark clouds on the horizon that even Pollyanna must admit exist. But it is an important part of our faith in God to make us able to come through these incidents in triumph. Ill Ik Ik Ik lk Are ye able? to meet the challenge of leadership and the challenge of Life? Our faith in God makes us able, and so we an- swer, Lord, we are able. cfg 0 TW E N TY 444414444444KCCCKCQCCCCCQC4444CC4Q44C44CCC4C'C4CG4444444444444444K444441444CC444444QCCCKCKQCCCCCQCCCQCCCCC44444444 0 :mmnmmamnmmxxmxm T H E L A N C A S T R I A N 4444444444444444444444444444444444f4 ACCTIIWITIUES AND ORGAN ZATIIONS D?7D75?7?7D75?575?777D757773D5335737779D73D5757775DND75Dbbbbbbbbbfvibbii Q Qmymmrmmnmrmmrmwm T H E L A N C A S T R I A N 44444ccc4ccc4ccc4cc4444cccc4444444440 S'lFATlISTllGS 1 l l l Debating Team Seated-left to right: Arthur Sullivan, Robert Hinkley.

The Lancaster debating team during this season of 1936-1937 was unique, since all four members were boys. The members were chosen from the three upper classes: two Seniors, Robert Hinkley and William Picheg one Junior, Kyle Brown Jr., and a Sophomore, Arthur Sullivan. Robert Hink- ley and Kyle Brown Jr. argued the negative side of the questiong William Piche and Ar- thur Sullivan upheld the atlirmative. The debating coach, Miss Irene Went- worth of the Academy faculty, entered the team into a number of non-decision practice debates with neighboring schools. Practice debates were held with the following schools: St. Johnsbury, Gorham, North Stratford, Groveton, and the negative debat- ed once with Whitefield.

Robert Hinkley was best speaker in the last two debates. Debating at JL. A. During the winter of 1933-1934, the new- ly-reorganized debating team of L. A. enter- ed the Bates College League. The first season proved to be most success- ful, with John Smith, Ann Woodward, Don- ald Hillier, and Allen Hussey winning the State Championship. For the attainment of this honor, the team received a beautiful gold-lined cup. John Smith won separate glory, when he was presented with a S100 scholarship at Bates College, for being the best individual speaker in the meet. The next year, the tide turned, for Lan- caster got no further than the preliminaries. winning over Laconia, but losing to White- field. The results of these debates were as follows: Lancaster Affirmative fWheeler and Par- entJ were defeated by Whitefield, 2-1. Lancaster Negative fMerrow and Hink- leyp won over Laconia, 3-0. In this debate Edward Merrow was chosen best speaker. In the season 1935-1936, a comeback was made, when L. A. again went to Bates, win- ning over Groveton, but losing to Laconia. In that year the teams were as follows: William Piche and Eleanor Hillier, Afiirm- ative, who defeated Groveton, 2-1. Robert Hinkley and Alberta Parent com- posed the Negative and lost to Laconia, 2-1. Thus, it is apparent that since joining the league, Lancaster has been successful each year but one, in entering the finals at Bates College. 0 D73DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD97577599739555335355537975757D7DD77D77D7577D JDDD!7753893999993 TW E NTY-T H R E E 0 Qmxmxnnmrmrmxmxmnm T H E L A N C A S T R I A N C444C44C444CCCQCCCCCCCCCQCCCCCKCKCQ ll s.l ' , Student Council Seated-left to right: Betty Brisson, Virginia Samson, Bethany Gessner, Barbara Phillips, secretary.

Student Council The Student Council was organized about five years ago under the direction of Mr. Stoughton, our headmaster. Its main pur- pose is to provide for a closer relationship and better spirit of cooperation between the Faculty and the students. It has been the custom of the respective classes to appoint their own members to this councilg however, during the past few school years the oranization has been composed of the president and secretary of each class. The president and secretary of the Senior Class always holds the position of president and secretary of the club. This year's ofii- cers are: President, Robert Hinkley, and Secretary, Barbara Phillips. The Student Board has supervision over all school activities, helps in the operation and adjustment of the school life, The meetings are held regularly once a month and more frequently, if considered necessary. .

Boys' Glee Club The Glee Club When over eighty girls enrolled for mem- bership in the Glee Club last Fall, it was found necessary to divide the Club into two groups: the Senior, or Upper-Classmen's own Glee Club, and the Freshmen Glee Club. There are over fifty girls in the Senior Club, and thirty Freshmen belong to the Junior Club. This year the Boys' Glee Club is larger than it has been in other years, with a membership of about fifty boys. There are as many fine voices in this chorus as there are in the combined Girls' Clubs. Last year the Club pins were chosen. The boys have small, black eighth notes with L. A. engraved in gold lettering. The girls have black and gold miniature pianos, as lllbflgllla. This Spring, the Boys' Club sponsored a children's Operetta, Goldilocks' Adven- tures, presented by the first four grades. There were a great many children in the various choruses, and in the cast were Mar-- jorie Driscoll, Polly Currier, George Bur- leson, Peggy Kay, Dean Bernier, Gordon Minot, and John Small.

The Sclhiooll Urganiization The editors of the Lancastrian desire to recognize the set-up of the Lancaster Acad- emy and High School as it is correctly named as a matter of record and of appre- ciation. It is operated under the Union School District and maintained by the tax- payers living in the town proper. Our able Board of Education includes Mr. R. Bernard Smith, Mr. Russell P. Whyte and Mrs. George B. Underwood. We are indebted to them for their time and attention. We would give more than passing appre- ciation to Superintendent William G. Fuller for his interest and friendship. Elsewhere you will find the photographs of our faculty and our Headmaster. They all have done their best to make our school days happy and profitable ones. l l l l 1 J. , V, ., A 4 . 1 l Junior Class 0 TWENTY-SIX 44464644444444C4444444444444CCCCQCCCQCKKCKCCK-2486844444444 RK!KKK!!464444444144444444644684 0 Q:mxmnmmmmw:mamma T H E L A N C A S T R I A N 'ccccccccacccccacccccccccccccmccc. Dramatic Club Dramatiics Dramatics play an important part in the outside curricular activities of Lancaster Academy. The Dramatic Club, under the able direction of Mrs. McGoff, was formed in the fall of 1935. At that time the organ- ization was composed of twelve students. Through various programs interest has been stimulated until now there are approximate- ly forty-five members. Each fall the Dramatic Club elects new officers for the ensuing year. The ofiicers for the school year of 1936-37 were: President, Edward Winn, Vice President, Kyle Brown Jr.g Secretary, Louise Green- woodg Treasurer, Anna Bennettg Publicity Manager, Charlotte Clark. The first object of our Dramatic Club is to develop stage assurance. By participa- tion in club programs students gain experi- ence in speaking before groups of people and thus learn to overcome stage fright. Constructive criticism of the programs by the other members of the club is encourag- edg such subjects as poise, posture, diction, and preparation being the chief topics of discussion. The second purpose of the Dramatic Club is to give the students actual experience in play-producing. Each member is given his choice of costuming, directing, make-up, scenery, or actingg and then through a series of one-act plays he gains practical experi- ence in the application of his acquired knowledge. Third, the Dramatic Club tries to develop an appreciation of the theater. Current plays are discussedg reviews and articles are read, the technique of noted actors and actresses is studied. The major plan of our Dramatic Club this year is to raise enough money for some much needed scenery for our Assembly Hall stage. This has been done by the pres- entation of one-act plays to the student body. For the two years that our Dramatic Club has been in existence, the organization has been responsible for many assembly pro- grams, and it has also furnished programs for various organizations. 'This year's Senior Class presented a de- lightful comedy, Skidding, under the cap- . am5anaanQanQaa2vnnznwnaarmnmmambmmv rmmnmsmmvmrmamnmvmzmw TW E NTY-S EVE N Q Qmmmmm:mmmmsmma T H E L A N C A S T R I A N CCCCCCCKQKCCCKCKCCCCCQCCKGCQCCCCO able coaching of Mrs. Gertrude MCGOE. It was a fine performance in which there were honors for all who had a share in it. Skidding told the story of Marion Hardy, a college girl, who fell in love with Wayne Trenton III, just as her career was opening. There were the two pretty young daughters who chose to marry before they finished their education and wanted to go home to mother at the first sign -of trouble. Mrs. Hardy was so upset at the modern tendencies of her daughters, that she went on a strike in order to straighten out her family. Young Andy Hardy furnished the comedy, and Grandpa Hardy touched the hearts of the audience with his absent-mind- edness and reminiscences about Grandma. The political ambitions of the Judge added to the suspense of the play. The maiden aunt truly pictured one of those lovable self-sacrificing members of society. Strub- bins, depicted by Earle Amadon, did good work in his portrayal as a friend of the Judge. The cast of characters was as follows: Aunt Milly Catherine Holmes Andy Hardy William Dumont Mrs. Hardy Elva Shute Judge Hardy Robert Hinkley Grandpa Hardy William Bronson. . Estelle H. Campbell Eleanor Hillier Marion Hardy Helen Tenney Wayne Trenton III Edward Winn Myra H. Wilcox Katherine Savage Mr. Stubbins Earle Amadon The boys and girls taking these import- ant roles did so with credit to themselves and the interest of the audience was sustain- ed in the well-staged play. The school or- chestra and the specialties by William Piche and Mary Bishop were also much enjoyed. The Dramatic Club of Lancaster Academy is affiliated with the National Thespian Dramatic Society for High Schools. This enables us to get some of the better plays at reduced royalties, and also to receive The High School Thespian, a magazine devoted to the interests of high school dramatics. The spafiight The Spotlight has been in existence since 1933, when the Lancastrian Board, feeling the need of financial assistance, cre- ated a weekly newspaper. At the time, Merritt Williamson was the Editor-in-chief and much credit goes to him as well as to John Hickey, then business manager, who conceived the idea. At first, the Board went about its work carefully, as it was most essential that the magazine be popular, and a success finan- cially. However, even the original two-page edition of The Spotlight sold well, perhaps attributable to the fact that there is in human nature an innate love of seeing one's name in print. Ardis Carr, Frederick Smith, and Robert Hinkley, the succeeding editors-in-chief, all saw development and improvement. Today The Spotlight is a ten-page edition which has entrenched itself in the affections of the student body. Perhaps the most important part of this history is that the old debt has been paid off, and it is hoped that a surplus may be amassed in the future. Also, work on the paper has brought out student journalistic abilities and provides an extra curricular activity to which the non-athletic members of the school can contribute. The Lancastrwn is the regular and pio- neer publication of the school. It was at first published three times a year, one issue each term. For financial reasons it has been published but twice yearly in recent years, at mid-winter and at Commencement. This year the Lancastrian makes another venture and takes the form of a Year Book, devoted chiefly to organizations and activ- ities. We trust that you will like it and that you will not forget the business and pro- fessional men of Lancaster and the North Country whose support has made the issue possible.

Prize Speaking Ever since 1921, annual prize speaking contests have been held at Commencement time. For the first three years, each of the six contestants had his separate teacher. However, for the last thirteen years, Mrs. David M. White has directed these contests, having all students under her supervision. Over this long period of time, Mrs. VVhite has donated her services to Lancaster Acad- emy-certainly, a fine manifestation of pub- lic service. The result has always proved to be a finished performance, truly worthy of high Commendation. The contest is called The Colonel Town Prize Speaking Contest, as the prizes are donated by the Colonel Town Fund. The awards are thirty dollars, twenty dollars, and ten dollars for the first three prizes, respectively. To each of the remaining three speakers, five dollars is given. Last year's contestants were: Edward Winn flst prizej, June Cordeau C2nd prizej, Robert Hinkley f3rd prizej, Mary McGrath, Virginia Alden, and Barbara Carr. The program to be presented this year is, as follows: On Contest Night by Lillian Holmes Strack-Lillian R. Hatfield At the County Fair by Frances Jolly- Chauncey G. Hutchinson Jr. Mrs. Perkins' Ride in the Pullman, Selected-Roberta McLean .. Ma Takes a Chance by Leota H. Black -Ruth L. Sullivan The School Program by J. L. Harbour- Charlotte A. Clark As the Moon Rose by Pauline Phelps- Virginia M. Alden. Camera Club The Camera Club, which had its begin- ning last year, meets regularly each Tuesday under the competent direction and super- vision of Mr. Wing. This year its work has been much more extensive, and the enroll- ment shows a larger number of pupils in- terested in membership. The primary object of the club is to give the students training in the fundamentals of photography, and not to produce profes- sional photographers. Several projects have been completed by the club. As an experiment, pin-hole cameras were constructedg however, with these cameras it was impossible to take pic- tures of moving objects. Students also have learned the process of developing films, and the art of printing pictures. The main stock-room of the Physics Lab- oratory has been modeled into a well-equip- ped dark-room with safety lights used to develop pictures. It is now possible for five students to work individually at the same time in the dark-room. For laboratory work, the making of sil- houettes completed this year's program. Stanton Gessner performed one of the most outstanding projects. He constructed a spot- light, which was used in illuminating ob- jects in the preparation of these silhouettes. The increase in membership shows an awakening interest in extra-curricular activ- ities. It is felt by those students who have entered the Camera Club that, perhaps, ex- tra-curricular activities are as interesting and profitable as required studies.

Our school to which they have left their trophies and honors has been enriched and furthered in its reputa- tion by their memorable acts. In our library we have a proud collection of cups and trophies which are displayed to commemorate the victors and to spur others on to the seeking of higher honors. From an examination of these shining emblems one would deem much success is due to athletic prowess. In 1929 and in 1930 the basketball boys won the White Mountain Basketball League Championship. A cup was presented them by the Alumni Association of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute of Troy, New York. Mr. David M. White donated a cup to the school in honor of the Interclass Basketball Championship. The following classes are engraved on the cup: Year 1925-'26 Class o'f '27 1926-'27 '27 1927-'28 '28 1928-'29 '29 1929-'30 '32 1930-'31 '31 1931-'32 '33 1932-'33 '33 1933-'34 '34 1934-'35 '38 1935-'36 '37 1936-'37 '39 The teams of 1926 and 1927 Won the Spaulding Trophy of the White Mountain Basketball League. This year the Boys' Championship White Mountain Conference Trophy was won by the Lancaster Academy. We have in our possession now the Winter Carnival Interscholastic Sports Trophy. We also have two cups given the school in memory of loved ones who had taken an interest in education. One was presented by Mabelle Smith Kent and Patricia Rice Kent and the other by the three children of Garvin and Ella May Magoon, with the in- scription: To Serve is to Accomplishf' The L. A. debating team in 1934 won the Bates League Cup for the State Champion- ship of New Hampshire. At graduation time several prizes are awarded to members of the graduating class. Of these one of the most interesting and competitive is the Magoon award established by the children of Mr. and Mrs. Garvin R. Magoon in recognition of their services and interest in education and young people. Their purpose is to encourage boys and girls in high school to give due consideration to those elements of a strong character of service which are constantly needed in any community group, and which will determine to a great extent the progress which these same individuals are to make in their lives after school. The prizes, a certificate sign- ed by the principal and by the donors of the award and a medal, are given to one boy and one girl of high scholastic averages, who have the following qualities: character, leadership, willingness to serve, and service. Other prizes are included under the fund willed to us by Colonel F. L. Town. They consist of money prizes: two awarded to the Valedictorian and Salutatorian of the Senior Class 5 first, second and third prizes given to the winning contestants in the Prize Speak- ing Contest held annuallyg and the Junior English Prize awarded to the Junior English student with the highest average. 0 7775D75DN5D75DDDD7557D75D59DDD337P73D537753779DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD7DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDVDDDDD5799 TH I RTY.TH R E E , Qwwwvmwmmwwmmmm T H E L A N C A S T R I A N KCCQCCCQQGCCGCCCQ446444444KKK, A-. r 'L ,,.. .,.. High School Orchestra HIGH SCHUOL Music is irresistible, its charities are countless, it stirs the feeling of love, peace and friendship as scarce any mortal agent can. -Tlzaclfery. Each year the orchestra, through cooper- ation between its members and its director, makes an earnest attempt to reveal to its listeners the beauty and significance of music. The High School Orchestra was organized ten years ago last fall when Mr. and Mrs. Gardner Wentworth 1Mrs. Wentworth, nee Miss Ruth Currierj came to Lancaster Acad- emy to take charge of music. In spite of the fact that the orchestra, at the time of its organization, was rather small, and the players inexperienced, Mr. Wentworth, by the end of the school year had an orchestra of which he could be very proud. ORCHESTRA Although the orchestra has constantly changed members from season to season, its membership has increased each year, and the quality of the orchestra as a whcle has, by no means, decreased. At the present time there are thirty-live members, each member, with very few exceptions, being a pupil of Mr. Wentworth. Throughout the year the orchestra ap- pears on several occasions, among which are the Senior Play, Winter Carnival Corona- tion, Prize Speaking, and all Commence- ment exercises. Every spring Mr. Went- worth combines the orchestras of North Stratford, Groveton, Lancaster, Whitefield, and Littleton for a North Country Con- cert given one year in North Stratford, Whitefield and Lancaster, and the next year in Groveton, Littleton, and Lancaster. Be- sides these performances made by the whole orchestra, other appearances are made by small groups at various times during the year.

FOOTBALL 1936 A football squad showing many new mem- bers and much experience presented itself to Coach Eustis at the beginning of the 1936 season. The late summer practice has put the boys in better than fair physical conditiong so, progress was greater than in the previous season. SEPTEMBER 30 Woodsville 12 --- Lancaster 6 With but two weeks of strenuous work under its belt the Lancaster team developed a bad case of butter fingers in the first half and allowed their opponents to score twiceg loose tackles and seven fumbles paved the way for both scores with Gandin and Sweeney starring 'for Woodsville. In the second half Lancaster reversed its form and led by Dorr scored once. Dumont went over from the two yard line after Dorr had made 45 yards on two plays. OCTOBER 7 Lancaster 27 --- St. Johnsbury 13 This was a fast action game with Lan- caster coming up from behind to win. Eddie Dorr scored all four touchdowns and had a hand in all three conversions. He took a 20 yard pass from Dumont for the first one, raced 22 yards for the second, and plunged 10 and five yards for the other two. A dropkick and passes to Beattie and Hink- ley accounted for three more points. Peters and Ingersall provided plenty of competition for the Red but the superb line play of Marshall and Hinkley held them in check.

Lancaster's only score resulted from a thirty-five yard pass, Pilotte to Hinkley. OCTOBER 21 Lancaster 12 --- Plymouth 0 Showing an altogether different brand of football than it had displayed the previous week, Lancaster outplayed the bigger and favored Plymouth eleven to win a stellar victory. Eddie Dorr broke the opponents' hearts at the very start with a clever 66 yard run- back of the kickoff for a touchdown. Plymouth came back strongly in the sec- ond hal'f, but luck and a great pair of ends prevented them from scoring. Late in the game, L. A. put the game on ice when a pass, Dorr to Beattie, gave her six more points. OCTOBER 28 Lancaster 0 -- Groveton 0 Perhaps a little too cocksure of itself, Lancaster went to Groveton to meet the hitherto unvictorious Eagles, and were re- warded with a tie game only after display- ing the best defensive football seen this sea- son. Dutie Ledger, hard-running back, con- sistently drove close to Lancaster's goal line only to be held for downs within the five yard line. To Hinkley, Beattie, Marshall and Gessner go the biggest share of credit. NOVEMBER 4 Lancaster 25 --- Bridgton High School 0 The easiest game of the year now came with the Bridgton, fMaineJ High School eleven as Lancaster went through the line at will, and finally put in the second team to score a win, 25-0. Two passes, Dorr to Hink- ley, another Dorr to Beattie and a 55 yard run all scored touchdowns for the Academy with Hinkley booting a field goal for an extra point. Clayton Young was impressive, as he was allowed to carry the ball consistently for the first time. NOVEMBER 11 Woodsville 12 --- Lancaster 7 For the second time this season, Woods- ville beat the Academy team and although the scores were almost identical, this time Lancaster really was outplayed. Sweeney and Gandin again ran too hard, too fast and too far for the Lancaster boys. The season was, as a whole, a success, but graduation hits the team hard and with seven regulars gone, next year may be a season for experiment. The line-up for most of the season consist- ed of: LE, Hinkley, LT,Hutchinson, LG, W. Driscoll, C, Piche, RG, Marshall, RT, Gess- ner, RE, Beattie, QB, Dumont, FB, Dorr, RHB, Young, LHB, Pilotte. Hussey, Caron, Riff, H. Piche, Monahan, R. Driscoll, Stevens, Fisk, Boucher and Kingsley made up the bulk of the reserves.

BOYS, BASKETBALL The Lancaster boys' basketball season officially opened in November, With a large squad of boys reporting to Coach Eustis for practice. The first game of the season was played at the Community House, against Concord, Vermont. In this contest the L. A. team was victorious by a score of 44 to 18, thus predicting a seemingly favorable season for Lancaster. After several victories at the expense of Gorham, Whitefield, Stratford, and Little- ton, it was discovered that the captain of the team, Eddie Dorr, was over the age limit. Eddie, who had been playing in all-state form, was ineligible for further play, and it was deemed necessary to replay the league games which had already taken place. Of course, this loss was very dishearten- ing, but Dorr's teammates determined not to let the event, get them down. Hinkley was chosen acting captain for the remainder of the year. After league games had been replayed with Stratford and Gorham, in which affrays Clayton Young played superbly for L. A. it was realized that Lancaster still topped the League with an average of 1000. In the Lancaster vs. Whitefield game, the second team took the spotlight, and won a 24-8 victory. Frankie Pilotte was the star of the game, scoring many points. George Winn also played a sparkling game, despite his handicapped knee. As usual, the big game of the season was that one in which Groveton was the oppon- , TH I RTY-E I G HT 4CCCKKC444KCCC44444644444CCC44444414444444444444444464444446446444444644684444644444440404444448 O Qbrnvnxnnannanarnxnnnvnr T H E L A N C A S T R I A N :aaacauccccccaccccccccxanax. ent. With each team undefeated, Lancaster met her adversary on Groveton's floor, be- fore a packed house. With Groveton in the lead 21-7 early in the second period, the L. A. boys got going with the result that at the final sound of the gun, Lancaster had won by the slim margin of one point. Credit for this victory goes not only to one person, but to the entire team. In our basketball history, certainly this game will go down as a remarkable performance. . Clad in flashy new red and black uni- forms, the team finished its gruelling season by winning the White Mountain conference cup, and by obtaining the privilege to play at Durham in the State finals fan honor also won by Groveton's all-state teamj. There, although the Lancaster team was defeated in the first round, each player received a fine token of the event. In the Consolation tourney at the end of the season, Lancaster placed thirdg for their work, the participants also received bronze medals as souvenirs. In the big six consisting of the six highest scorers of the League throughout the season, Young and Hinkley placed fifth and sixth, with 123 points and 117 points respectively for 13 games. On the all-conference team, picked by a coaches' and referees' convention, Gainor was rewarded for his brilliant play by a position of guard on the first team, Hinkley received center berth on the second team. Next year, the team will suffer from the loss of Gainor, Stewart and Hinkley, but Mr. Eustis will have material with which to work, for a winning team. Credit for fine play throughout the season should go to Gainor, who played a steady game whether at forward or guard, to Stewart and Beattie, veterans who could be counted on to come through in the pinchesg to Young and Dorr for their uncanny ability to find the basket when points were needed, to Pilotte who, when called upon, gave his best, which was always brilliant basketball, to Hinkley who covered the pivot position, conscientiously. Other members of the squad also deserve honorable mention-the boys who gave their support and practiced faithfully, that they might be prepared when needed. These squad members will be in trim for next year, when they will play even a more important part. Finally, sincere words of praise go to Coach Eustis for his patience and tireless effort in producing a better team than has been seen in L. A. for several years.

BASEBALL Because of the unfavorable weather, and the poor condition of the community dia- mond, the Lancaster baseball team for 1937 was unable to hold many early practices. As a result of this inconvenience, the somewhat inexperienced team was defeated in its first two encounters. Gorham defeat- ed L. A. quite severely, and Groveton also outplayed us noticeably. But these losses were by no means indica- tions of a completely unsuccessful seasong for in its third game, with Littleton, the local team defeated the down-staters 7-3. This victory was very encouraging, for Lit- tleton had been hitherto undefeated. When the call was made for candidates, thirty students reported for the first meet- mg. The 'following players were given first team positions: Monahan, catcherg Corliss, first base, Fisk, second baseg Brown, short- stopg Winn, third baseg Hinkley, right fieldg Pilotte, center field, Stevens, left field, and Beattie, pitcher. Other promising candi- dates were: Gessner, catcherg Hensen, first base, Bean, second base, Stillings, short- stopg Caron, third base 3 Lewis, W. Corliss, and Connors, outfield. The team has been handicapped by lack of pitchers, for with the exception of the veteran, Joe Beattie, the other twirlers have been mostly raw recruits. Hutchinson, Clarke, and Brown have acted as relief pitchers.

CGTRILS9 BASKETBALL Under the etlicient coaching of Miss Doro- thy Mellett, girls' basketball practices start- ed about the middle of November. The fol- lowing girls reported: Mary Bishop, Helen Tenney, Virginia Evans, Eleanor Hillier, Anna Bennett, Jean Fuller, Julia Stickney, Eleanor Kenney, Phyllis Smith, Ruth Sulli- van, Mary L. Wheeler, Anne Mellin, Shirley Murphy, Mary Howe, Violet Dow, Mary Corrigan and Harriet Congdon. Fundamentals of the game, including pivoting, dribbling, faking and shooting, were first learned by the squad, and then the plays were worked out. On Friday, November 20, most of the players went to Gorham to witness basket- ball games between Gorham and Whitefield, Gorham being victorious in both games. When the girls returned to Lancaster, they were taken to the home of Mrs. Cora Hill, Where Coach Mellett gave a party for her squad. Dancing was enjoyed, and refresh- ments were served. The girls were fortunate in having many veterans on their team and, hence, few changes in the line-up from last year. The team lost only one player by graduation last year, viz, Mary Egnatovich. The regu- lar line-up was: Mary Bishop, centerg Helen Tenney and Anna Bennett, forwardsg Vir- ginia Evans, Jean Fuller, and Eleanor Hil- lier, a forward of last year, guardsg Helen Tenney, Captaing Ellen Twitchell, Man- ager. Subs were Wheeler, Sullivan, Corri- gan, Stickney, Kenney and Smith. 0 D57DD?D75D73D75375535554440P7D55575555337?773D737D277?DD7D37044KD7DD7?D7?Db5?D7bD7DD7PD7?D7D FORTY-ONE . ODDDDDDDDDDDDD5979579377977 T H E L A N The first game, an encounter with Gor- ham, displayed a fast girls' team with ex- ceptionally good pass work. However, the Lancaster ,girls suffered stage-fright and were defeated by a score of 16 to 7. Mary Bishop was high scorer for L. A., scoring all but one point. In the next game L. A. broke into the winning column by defeating Whitefield, 14 to 8. This was an especially pleasing victory for Lancaster, since in the past Whitefield has been victorious nearly always in encounters on the basketball fioor. Anna Bennett and Mary Bishop starred for Lan- caster, scoring 7 and 5 points respectively. Lancaster kept up her winning streak by defeating North Stratford in the next game by a score of 17 to 13. This was a very close battle, with North Stratford leading at the half, 8 to 6. Anna Bennett collected 10 points in this game. Continuing its favorable start, Lancaster downed Colebrook by an easy score 21 to 11. Much of the team's success was due to the fine guarding of Virginia Evans who held Lena Fournier, Colebrook's ace center, to a single foul shot. Anna Bennett and Mary Bishop shared scoring honors, collecting 8 points each and Helen Tenney was not far behind with 5. The next game was with Whitefield and again Lancaster was victorious by a very close score, 16 to 14. Lancaster was out in the lead at the half by a score of 11 to 4. Second team players saw action in the sec- ond half and Whitefield scored 8 points, thereby gaining the lead. However, L. A. then got 5 points in a hurry, and the ref- eree's whistle saved the game for L. A. At this point in the season's playing Lan- caster girls held second place in the White Mountain League for girls. Then came an upset. Colebrook defeated Lancaster on the former's floor by a score of 26 to 15. Colebrook was clearly ahead all the way. Lena Fournier made basket after basket, until Jean Fuller was put in the last quarter to guard her. But it was too late, then. The next game was an easy victory over Lisbon to the tune of 23 to 11. The next game was played with Groveton at Groveton. Lancaster girls made a won- derful showing in this game, although they A S T R I A N cccacccccacacccccaacccaccccacf were defeated 13 to 10. At the half the game was knotted up 5-all, but Groveton got the lucky basket just before the whistle. Anna Bennett was high scorer in this game. Lancaster won the next game against Lisbon by a score of 12 to 9. Mary Bishop shone for L. A. scoring 11 points, 5 of which were made on fouls. Although Lancaster was favored to beat Groveton in the next game, she bowed to defeat by a score of 23 to 12. Mary Bishop was again the high scorer for Lancaster. Gorham completely smothered Lancaster on the former's floor 13 to 3. Anna Bennett was the heroine, making all the points for the losing side. Mary L. Wheeler saw action in this game and is to be commended for her fine playing. In a close game Lancaster defeated Bath, 15 to 12. Bishop and Bennett were high scorers. The final game in the league resulted in a victory for Lancaster over North Stratford by a score of 17 to 9. Anna Bennett and Helen Tenney scored for the winning team. In this game Mary Wheeler played center in the place of Mary Bishop, who was ill. The ofiilcial games were ended, but Lan- caster scheduled two more games with Ber- lin. In the first game played at the Com- munity House, the home team played some good basketball, although it was defeated 17 to 14. The next game, however, at Ber- lin told a different story. Lancaster took its worst defeat of the year on the large floor of the Berlin gym. The score was 31 to 10. In the final analysis, Lancaster girls placed 'fourth in the White Mountain League for girls. They won eight games and lost five games, scoring 208 points to 227 points of the opponents. During the entire season Anna Bennett scored 87 points, Mary Bishop scored 86 points, and Helen Tenney 33 points. The girls' basketball team will lose four first team players by graduation: Eleanor Hillier, Mary Bishop, Helen Tenney, and Virginia Evans. However, prospects for next year's season look good with Anna Ben- nett, Jean Fuller, and Julia Stickney, .as veterans, and several promising players like Mary Wheeler, Ruth Sullivan, Mary Corri- gan, Violet Dow and Harriet Congdon to be trained for future action. .

HUCKEY The Lancaster Academy sextet staged its comeback during the 1936-'37 season. Al- though the team was in the public eye at all times, the boys built up a reputation and acclaimed a forward position especially dur- ing carnival time. A serious drawback for successful hockey at L. A. has been the lack of competition, since the number of schools that have hockey teams in this area is insufficient. After consideration was given to the ob- jective of building a team, the squad and additional players were divided. Those boys who belonged to Troop 219 of the Boy Scouts were separated from the other group, re- maining for competitive purposes, and this team, supplemented by substitute scouts, served to fill the need. The two teams were almost evenly matched, resulting in well played games of both skill and endurance. The year's turn-out proves that hockey is still flourishing at L. A., our liberal compe- tition proved this exciting and absorbing game has not disappeared from northern New Hampshire. Our hockey team fully enjoyed both prac- tices and competition, all of which goes to prove that the Lancaster hockey team con- sisted of a group of boys who played the game for the sheer love of it. The team was ably coached by Mr. Wing, the Science teacher. Games played and scores: Oppon. L. A. L. A. vs. Groveton H. S. 3 4 Gilman vs. L. A. 1 5 Littleton H. S. vs. L. A. 2 4 Gale River C. C.

The keen interest and hearty support of the school in the several winter carnivals was appreciated not only by sport contest- ants but by members of the Carnival Board. It is this type of support that helps to pro- duce a successful Carnival. The first interscholastic meet was held at Littleton. As usual, Dow Academy captured most of the honors in skiing, but Littleton faced this handicap with a good representa- tion of home talent and won the trophy. Skiing and snowshoeing events were held in the Franconia Notch, the only spot with sufficient snowfall. The second interscholastic meet was held in Lancaster. The school showed a good representation and won the second leg on the trophy. With another year coming, Lancaster will have a better representation of participating students. With this advantage plus efficient coaching our school should make even better ratings than in the past.
