Class of I949 In September 1945 we forty-niners started our high school career. At eighth grade graduation we had only twenty-eight members, but the stud- ents coming from Jefferson, Dalton. Lunenburg, Vt., and Gilman, Vt. in- creased our number to sixty. During our freshman year, we lost five mem- bers. At our first class meeting we elected the following officers: presi- dent, Reginald Beatong vice-presi- dent, Donald McClintock, secretary, Mary Jane Evans, and treasurer, Gloria McLaughlin. Richard Tripp and Marion Merrill were elected to the Student Council. All had a good time at the annual initiation, the lordly seniors made us wear green bows and be their loyal and devoted servants. With all the pin-curls, nightgowns, toys, and bot- tles, we certainly looked like fresh- men. We gave a Hallowe'en social in October to raise money for the class. It was a big success. The fact that we were freshmen was no obstacle to us. Our class was well-represent- ed in baseball, musical organizations, dramatics, and basketball. Also, We were leaders in the War Bond Drive, In September 1946 we started school with sixty-two members and lost only four. The following oflicers were elected: president, Reginald Beaton, vice-president, Edward Gall, secretary, Mary Jane Evans, treas- urer, Jennie Cameron. The Student Council members were Marion Mer- rill and Robert Malloy. On December 23 we sponsored a Christmas dance that yielded over forty dollars. Six boys and two girls THE 1949 LANCASTRIAN were playing basketball from o'1r class. In March we presented a quiz show in assembly with Donald Mc- Clintock as the master of ceremonies. September 1947 found us back at the academy as juniors. Our class ofiicers were president, Reginald Beaton, vice-president, Onil Talbotg secretary, Mary' Jane Evans, and treasurer, Dean Emerson. The mem- bers of the Student Council were Beverly Barrett and Robert Malloy. We had two new members join our class this year: Beverly Barrett, formerly of Lisbon, New Hampshire, and Eleanor Emery from South Portland, Maine. Various members of the class were active in Glee Club, Dramatic Club, Orchestra, and sports. Robert Mal- loy played a leading role in the senior play, and a committee was chosen to pick our own play for next year. The big event of the year, the Junior Prom, was held May 16. The hall was decorated in blue and gold with lambs and tulips ornamenting the walls and stage. Jonnie James' orchestra played to a capacity crowd. We received a great many compli- ments on the originality of our grand march, which was directed by Mr. Wiesen. In September 1948 it seemed odd to be occupying the senior home- rooms ourselves, but we soon became adjusted to the idea. Our first class meeting was held to elect ofiicers: president, Reginald Beatong vice- president, Onil Talbot 5 secretary, Dede Emeryg and treasurer, Dean Emersong Beverly Barrett and El- win Falkenham were elected to the Student Council. We also selected a committee to arrange for the fresh- man initiation, which was given in the form of a dance. This year, for their penalty, the freshmen provided the entertainment, but the funds went into the senior class treasury. Our senior play, directed by Mrs. McGofT', was presented November 19 to a full house. We sponsored a Mid- Year Dance February 19 with Guy Dunbar supplying the music. Our Senior Hop was held June 3 with Guy Dunbar again playing. The Hop, held at the Community House, was a big success. We are now busily making prep- arations for graduation and our class trip.

The oflicers were elected as follows: President .... Robert McGoldrick Vice-president .... John Merrow Secretary ........... Ann Cross Treasurer .. Elizabeth Stoughton Student Council members ....... JoAnne Stone, Mary Horne, Lee Eastman, Thomas Rand Working together, our first venture for the year was a food sale held in October. The successful returns from this sale urged us on. In Nov- ember we had a Junior Class Social, cafe style. The Academy auditorium was bursting with fun-enjoying people. Recently we pulled up our sleeves and had a rummage sale in the Town Hall. We were nicely re- warded for our efforts. JoAnne Stone, Betty Stoughton, Mary Horne, Patricia Gormlev, Elda Gould, Nancy Hodgdon, Pauline Young and Ann Cross played on the Girls' Basketball Team. David Be- dell, Clinton White, Bob McGoldrick. and Eugene Pelkey were on the Boys' Varsity Basketball Team, while Joe Magoni and Paul Watson played on the Junior Varsity Team. The All-State Festival held in Cen- cord was attended by eight pupils of the junior class. Elda Gould and Ann Cross sang in chorusg Pat Mer- row, Ruth Dexter, Colby Beecher, Lee Eastman, Betty Stoughton and Mary Horne played in orchestra. Contrary to superstition, our Jun- ior Prom on Friday, May 13, was a huge success and the climax of our wonderful year as juniors. The music was by Carl Broggi. The dec- orations were very original and at- tracted much attention. Aim Cross, S'ec1'm'a1'y N A H ,Rss ., Q, ,s if ..... W... year by electing oflicers as follows: President .......

Both left us later on in the year, and Adelaide Osgood transferred to Whitefield High in October. Three of our girls, Barbara Stew- art, Kay Ball and Mary Ingerson, had appendicitis operations, and sun- on the dance tickets, and eight dol- lars was made at the refreshment booth, which made our total profit fifty-eight dollars. The hall was beau- tifully decorated by the more artistic members of our class. Much credit is due to Nan Crouch, the chairman of the dance. The class of 1951 did not put on many social activities this year, but we are looking forward to our junior year and Junior Prom.

Class of I952 After the close of school June 11, 1948, we knew we were freshmen but did not think of it again until we entered Lancaster Academy with many students from Jefferson, Gil- man, Vt. and Lunenburg, Vt. Not long afterwards our class of fifty- eight students held a meeting and elected officers as follows: Billy Hickey .......... president Douglas Beaton . .. vice-president James Perry .......... secretary Ann White .... ...... t reasurer Nancy Nay ........... historian Ralph Doolan . . . Student Council Sheila Foss ......... members For our initiation we held a party for everyone with the freshmen stud- ents doing the acting. Also everyone enjoyed piano pieces by Diana Rowe and Janice Lynch. On December 18, we had a fresh- men Christmas party. There was a very good play at the beginning with little Chub Morin showing us what he could do in the spotlight. After- wards there were dancing and games and finally a lunch. The party ended in an old fashioned square dance. During the year our class was well represented in basketball, or- chestra, skiing, glee club, dramatic club, Y-teens, and camera club. With the closing of school this year the freshmen are sure that if the rest of their school days are as happy as their first year has been, they will be very delighted.

The Orchestra The orchestra is composed of thir- ty-three members under the capable direction of Gardner Wentworth. The students composing this group are chosen from both junior high and high school. Orchestra rehear- sals are held on Monday and Thurs- day. The orchestra made its first ap- pearance when it played several sel- ections between the acts of the senior play. Later, the orchestra, combined with the glee club, gave a Christmas Concert. Much time was spent rehearsing the pieces for the All-State Music Festival. Many members of the or- chestra attended this Festival, which was held at Concord, March 17 and 18. Our director conducted the All- State Orchestra. The annual Spring concerts, by a combined orchestra made up of play- ers from Stratford, Groveton, White- field, and Lancaster, were given at Stratford, April 25, Whitefield, April 28, Lancaster, May 2, and Groveton, May 5.

Another one-act play, The Missing Link , was pre- sented before the Churchmen's Club February 17. A comedy The Case of the Easter Bonnet was presented before the Unity Club March 21, and Junior Prom, an amusing skit, was given before the Eastern Star.

The Senior Play Friday evening, November 19, the Class of '49 presented The Fighting Littles under the able direction of Mrs. Gertrude R. McGoff. The play, a comedy in three acts by Caroline Francke, was adapted from the novel of the same name by Booth Tarking- ton. The play takes place in the home of the Littles, a family with opinions of their own and temperament to express themselves. The fireworks really begin when Daddy Little calls his daughter's friends gilded hood- 1ums and Ham Ellers, her boy friend, the worst gilded hoodlum of them all. He thinks young love should start, as his did, at a Sunday School picnic. Father's candidate for her affections turns out to be a stuff- ed shirt. Filmer, the younger of the Little children, also has love troubles, but hates to admit it and at the men- tion of the word love always ex- plodes slightly. In the three acts the quick tempered Littles souabble their way through many differences of viewpoint and ridiculous situations, but all works out happily in the end. The play was a huge success, with each character well adapted to his role. The school orchestra, directed by Mr. Wentworth, played selections between the acts. The cast: Almatina ..... ....

The Commercial Club The Commercial Club is a newly organized club in school. The mem- bers are juniors and seniors who have taken at least two commercial subjects. The purpose of this new club is to promote interest in the business world and in the study of commercial subjects, to encourage a social spirit by offering opportunitiew for wholesome social contact, and to become familiar with modern pro- gressive business methods and sys- tems, endeavoring by such means to raise and maintain a higher standard of training for business. The officers are as follows: President .......... Jane Nevers Vice-president . .. Marie Gallinelli Secretary ............ Ann Cross Treasurer .......... Joy Johnson Reporter ...... Patricia Merrow Several business men spoke to the club on the different methods of their businesses. A skit was given by the members for the members to illus- trate good business practices. This is the first year of the Com- mercial Club. It has been success- ful, and we hope to continue in the coming school years.

The club sold score cards at the basketball games again this year. With the cooperation of tho Churchman's Club, a Father and Son banquet was held which was attended lov a large crowd. After the supper there was music, entertainment, and finallv movies of the Yale-Harvard football game secured from Dart- mouth College. Four of our members attended the Conference at Nashua. They were Donald Paterson, Ted Lund, Richard lVlerrow, and Charles Wentworth. These members heard speeches deliv- ered by prominent men while they were there.

The number of members was cut down from last year in order to give them more opportunities to work in the dark room. The club oflicers are as follows: Ervin Whit- ney, presidentg David Denison, vice- presidentg Charles Wentworth, treas- urerg Bruce Ferguson, secretary. The dark room was fixed up so that the members would have a chance to do their own developing and printing. We made up a few simple rules about using the dark room, which have been carried out very well with this small group. Mr. Belcher is our adviser, and we greatly appreciate the time and help which he has given us. We also ap- preciate the supplies which have been available through the school. We hope that in future years the club may continue so we may have better photographers. Erwin lrlflzifirley '50 THE 1949 LANCAETRIAN l l l Third row: L. Vashaw, T. Rand, J. Magoni, P. Watson, C.

Girls' Basketball The Lancaster Academy girls have ended another successful season by winning the White Mountain League Championship for the second consec- utive year. The girls played fifteen games with twelve wins and one tie to their credit. They lost only to Berlin and Littleton. Mr. Jones had good material to work with, and it was hard to dis- tinguish the first six. Captain Mary Jane Evans, Mary Horne, and Jo- Anne Stone were forwards. Patricia Gormley, Elda Gould, and Betty Stoughton took care of the back court. Beverly Barrett proved her- self a valuable substitute as a for- ward, while Lorraine Corliss and Rita Montgomery proved their worth as substitute guards. Other substi- tutes were Joan Lynch, Nancy Hodg- don. Ann Cross, Lorraine Vashaw. Pauline Young, Nan Crouch, Mar- garet Guilmette, Margaret Howser, and Ann White. There were also some eighth grade girls who will give plenty of trouble to the other teams in future years. We are sorry to lose Mary Jane Evans, Lorraine Corliss, Beverly Barrett, and Joan Lynch, who grad- uate this year. JoAnne Stone was high scorer for the year with 152 pointsg Mary Horne had a total of 132 points, with Mary Jane Evans close behind with 102 points. The total number of points made by the L. A. girls was 428. The fact that all the forwards were good shots was a great asset to the team. The pass work of these girls was something well worth see- ing. Some of the girls were talented so that they could play both forward THE 1949 LANCASTRIAN and guard positions with ease and L A Littleton 12 skill. L. A. Berlin 30 Lancaster is proud of the record L.

All during the season there was no Iirst team, but the sixteen boys made up many winning combinations, and the team was entitled to enter the class B tournaments at Durham with a record of thirteen wins and six losses.

Jayvee Basketball Another good J. V. basketball team was turned out this year by Mr. Belcher, his second in as many years. He improved many players and made a good hoopster out of Joe Magoni, who had never played before. The competition was keen for each position. Joe Magoni and Paul Wat- son were at the guard positions. Hollis Webster was the center for this team. As the forwards we had Buster Doolan and either John Rob- erts or Jack Paul. Midway through the season, Buster Doolan went up to the varsity. About this time Chub Morin started clicking, and we had another scorer. The J. V.'s opened the season by losing to Kennett 39-28. We kept up with Kennett the first halt but fell behind in the second. Buster Doolan scored 16 points. The next two games were victories: against the Outlaws 38-12, and against Concord, Vt. 19-14. The game against Littleton High, which was supposed to have a good team. turned out to be a rout in favor of L. A., 44-26. The J. V.'s played one of their best games and showed beautiful teamwork and pass- mg. Lancaster took Whitefield in stride 46-33 with Joe Magoni dumping in 21 points. The J. V.'s left town for the next two games against Gorham and Ber- lin on the same day, but lost both of them. The first was to Gorham, 39- 32, and the second to Berlin, 49-42. Bob McGoldrick went on a scoring splurge and scored 49 points in the two games. Lancaster got back to winning ways against Whitefield when we whipped them 55-38, Buster Doolan THE 1949 LANCASTRIAN and Chub Morin being the stars. Lancaster again left town for a game against Littleton and lost a close one, 42-35, Joe Magoni taking scoring honors with 19 points. Lancaster next had to meet Gor- ham again, and they were unbeaten up until that time, but the J. V.'s up- set them 27-26 in a rough battle in which many fouls were called. We ended the season defeating Concord, Vt., 38-20. Lancaster had a 6-4 record, and no team defeated us twice. Many boys showed great improvement un- der Mr. Belcher's coaching. All the J. V.'s wish Mr. Belcher the best of luck next season and thank him for his help this season. Jack Paul '57 Standing: B. Ferguson, D. McClintock, M. Keysar, B. Andrews, S. Noyes, H.

Winter Sports Although the snowfall this year has been light, the ski team attend- ed one of the ski meets that were held in New Hampshire. This was the Class B Championships of New Hampshire, which was held near La- conia in the Belknap Recreation Area in cooperation with the United States Eastern Amateur Ski Association. Mr. Smart accompanied the team with the following contestants: Bill Andrews, Harriman Clay, Bruce Fer- guson and Cecil Johnston. Peewee Aldrich was sick and unable to at- tend, and Tommy Rand was recover- ing from a sore throat. Bill took second place in the slalom, but in preparation for the downhill he injured his ankle, his being com- pelled to drop out lessened our chanc- es of victory. In spite of handicaps Lancaster fought and secured third place. The skiing conditions were icy and rough, and the lack of snow hindered top performance from many contestants. Although this year we lose Bill. next year we hope for new skiers who are interested in a thrilling, close, competitive sport. Cecil Johwsfow '50 THE 1949 LANCASTRIAN Third row: K. Wheeler, E.

As the varsity bas- ketball boys were eliminated, we lost several high scorers in the beginning, but others were encouraged to turn out. About ten boys participated, and before the season was over, vast improvements could be seen in most of them, with some of the boys roll- ing especially high scores. f'hm'lvs Ww11fr4'oi'fh '52 n gk , 24 .:-Xl, ee- 7 GIRLS' TEAM A Girls' Intramural Bowling Team was started by Coach Smart in Oct- ober. Girls enrolling in this sport were the following: Ruth Kelly, Mary McLain, Bette Murphy, Mary Vachon, Anne Con- nary, Ruth Dexter, Shirley Stark, June Carbee, Gertrude Beaton, Vera Young, Theresa Dubreuil, Ann East- man, Patricia Colby. As the year wore on, many of these dropped out. We first practiced on Monday af- ternoon, but as orchestra rehearsal interfered, practice was changed to Friday. In December we bowled against the boys' team, which won by a great margin. It is hoped that next year we will be able to get matches with surrounding towns.

I948 Baseball Team Last year we had a good baseball team coached by Mr. Belcher. There was a large turnout for early prac- tice, but the squad had to be cut to twenty. Pitcher Jack Paul Was taken on in the middle of the season to make the twenty-first man. This team, led by the pitching of E. Pelky, W. Hickey, D. Emerson, and J. Paul, racked up a nine and three record. The season was started by a one- hit victory pitched by Pelkey over North Stratford. This game was played in a snow and rain storm. This was followed by a loss to Little- ton. Six errors were charged to Lancaster that day. Pelkey came back with a no-hit game against Groveton. Dean Emerson started the game against Colebrook but wasn't given any support by his teammates. He was relieved by Bill Hickey, who went on to Win the game. Littleton beat us again when we played them at their home field. We had our chance when bases were loaded and only one out with Lee Emery at bat. Lee got a tick which hit home plate and rolled onto the playing field. This should have gone for a foul ball but instead went for a double play. The game was protest- ed because of this play, but the pro- test was of no use. The next two games with White- field were easy wins for Emerson and Paul. These games were paced by heavy hitting on Lancaster's part. Our third loss was encountered at North Stratford. Our players were held to two hits but were given ten bases on balls to run up six runs. However five hits and nine bases on balls gave Stratford nine tallies. The next game was perhaps the surprise of the year. Rookie Jack Paul held the strong Gorham nine to THE 1949 LANCASTRIAN six hits, three bases on balls, and only five runs. The Lancaster batters supported Jackie with seven runs. These were paced by Rus Lemieux, who had a perfect day with three hits. Art Corrigan pulled off a neat put-out at second base. Lancaster again beat Gorham at Lancaster. Doubles were hit by Pel- key and Bacon, and Onil Talbot got a triple. Pelkey won his own ball game with his double in the eighth, which drove in Lemieux. There was a double play, Emery to Magoni. Emerson again started against Colebrook, but this time he received some support and held the Colebrook batters to two hits. Joe Magoni and Lee Emery hit triples. Corrigan got an unassisted double play. Lancaster finished the season with an extra inning win over Groveton. Pelkey went all the way to win this one eight to seven. The winning run was brought in by Corrigan, who got a base on balls, stole second' and third, and came home when Bacon flied out to center. Doug Beaton fol- lowed with a double but was left on base. Bill Hickey did a good ,ioh of relief pitching all season long.

Your better judgment tells you to try it for one day anyway. As you sit down at a typewriter, the first thing you see is the key- board of your machine, which looks like so many, anagrams all jumbled up, unless you' are lucky and have 'la machine on which the keys are cover- ed. You wonder how in the world you can ever make words from that mixed up mess of letters. To start with, it is necessary to learn the numerous and seemingly useless parts which are supposed to make the machine function properly. Next you try putting paper in the typewriterg to do this you must take the paper in your left hand, it has to be your left hand, and place it in the machine. After this you give what is known as the cylinder knob a quick and, of course, even twist. Then you look at the paper and find that by some queer accident the paper is crookedg so you hunt around and find the gadget known as the paper re- lease, which is used to straighten the paper. Looking again you notice that for some strange reason, which you can't understand, the paper has strayed away from the paper side guide, so you hunt around and find the paper release and shove the paper back against the guide. Now you can begin typing. At first you practice various combin- ations of letter to learn the position of all the letters on the keyboard and to develop a much-needed sense of rhythm. Then comes the big day when you complete the great task of typing your own name without any errors. After accomplishing this much in your struggle for success, you begin to type phrases and then sentences. Next you have to sweat out a one- minute time test. On the ringing of the time bell you glance at your paper and to your amazement it is blankg you have had the ribbon con- trol on stencil. Yourtry again, and this time by some strange means, you find you have had your fingers on the wrong row of keysg so you try a third time and finally achieve success. When you have finally gotten used to one-minute time tests, the teacher up and springs a five-minute test on you. On correcting this test you find that you didn't even type one measly word per minute. Of course you typed some words, but you made so many errors, for each of which you have to subtract ten whole strokes, that you didn't have any final score: so you have to take another test in your spare time. After all these trials and tribula- tions, you find that typing isn't as bad as you thought. You can actual- ly type, to some extent, and you are finally on the real road to success. Elwin Falkenham '49 'if' THE 1949 LANCASTRIAN Grandmother Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Kenny, my great grandparents, came from France and settled in Eaton Corner, Quebec. Little is known about their life. They died in Canada leaving ten children, four girls and six boys. Margaret Kenny was one of the four girlsg she was my grandmother. The children left Canada and came to the United States to live with rela- tives. They all had to work for their board, so most of them had very little education. Grandmother has told me of the work she had to do before she could go to school, and it had to be done, or she couldn't go to school. She had to go out to the barn, help in cleaning it up, brush the cows and horses, feed the pigs, bring two pails of milk to the houseg then she made the beds and helped prepare the breakfast. After breakfast she help- ed one of her sisters wash the dishes and milk pails while her aunt busied herself in churning butter and mak- ing bread that was sponged the night before. After this work was done, Grandmother was given permission to get ready for school. It wasn't hard for her to decide what she was going to wear because she had only two dresses, and she was lucky compared to a lot of girls. Her hair was combed into curls. She never was allowed to change the style of her hair or wear make-up. She then walked three and a half miles to school. Grandmother's aunt did her wash- ings on Monday. She had to heat all the water she used. They had cold water piped to the pantry, but on Mondays the boys hauled water from the spring because the water ran very slowly. Tuesdays she had four to six flat-irons heating on the stove, and before she went to bed that night the ironing was done and put away. The sewing was put aside to do the next day. Nothing was put away with holes or without buttons. Fri- day the bedrooms were thoroughly dusted and dust-mopped. Saturday morning the cooking was done. A large jar of doughnuts, cookies, cakes and pies completed Saturday's cook- ing. In the afternoon the dining- room and kitchen were cleaned, as well as the pantry. Saturday night the bath tub came out, and everybody changed his clothes and took a bath. These were routine jobs, and Grand- mother also had to help prepare three large meals a day and put the dinner pails up for the ones that went to school. Most of the food was grown on the farm, with three big husky boys run- ning the farm, and it was quite pros- perous. The girls all knew how to sew and knit, and Grandmother did a lot of the spinning, so most of the garments were made at home. Grandmother's life was full of work, but there was time once in a while to have some fun. One thing that the children enjoyed was the circus. They saved their money and were allowed to go. Grandmother enjoyed watching the girl who rode the bareback horse standing up. One afternoon after they had come home from the circus, she and her broth- ers were talking about the bareback rider, and she said that that was nothing and she could do it. Her brothers dared Grandmother, and since she was always taking up their dares, she tried. The boys went to the barn and brought the horse out, put its bridle on, and went up to the apple orchard. She got onto the horse's back, held onto the check rein, and stood up. She was doing very well when one of her brothers asked her if he could try it, but she didn't want to get down. The boys were angry, so they picked up a small stick and pretended to strike at the horse. The horse, thinking they were going to hit him, began to run around the apple orchard. Grand- mother had on a big ruf'Hed apron and when the horse went beneath a low branch, one of the ruffles caught on the branch, and there Grand- mother hung until the weak branch crashed to the ground. The boys ran to her side, but she didn't move. The boys were scared, and they began THE 1949 LANCASTRIAN to holler, Maggie is dead. My grandmother could not take any more, and she began to laugh. The boys were glad she was all right, but they were also angry and tried not to speak to her, but they wanted to talk about the circus with her, so peace was restored. Margaret Kenny, my grandmother, was married when she was nineteen, to Joseph Clavette. They lived in Lunenburg, Vermont, on a farm, and there one girl and three boys were born. Later they moved to Bloom- field, Vermont, where four girls were born. T Two years later Gramp left this earth, dying of heart trouble. He was fifty-eight years old. My grand- mother was not very well after his death, so the children had to get out and work. A few years ago my grandmother died, and I am sure that she lived a happy life, even though she had to work hard. Muriel Paquet '50 At. Your First Driving Lesson The day is bright and sunny, a perfect day for taking your first driv- ing lesson. You and your father take out the family car. He backs out of the garage because he wants the paint left on the fenders and the doors left on the garage. He takes you onto a back road so not to put other peoples' lives in danger, two are enough. You get behind the wheel, and the lesson begins. He tells you to start the motor, so you turn on the ignition and step on the starter. Now that wasn't so hard, you think. Now your father says to put the car in low and start off. You shift into low and try to go ahead. Something must be wrongg the car is acting like a jumping bean. It stalls. Your father says you aren't doing it right and try again. You start the motor and go ahead, a little smoother this time. Now, shift into second, your father tells you. So you try to put it in second without using the clutch. Your father is get- ting impatient: you ,can't imagine why. In the meantime, the car has stalled again. Begin again your father says, so you do. Everything goes fairly smoothly and you can drive home. You are so full of con- fidence that you Wonder how any- thing could possibly go wrong. As you drive from the back road onto the main highway, you forget there is someone besides yourself on the road. Luckily for you the other fellow sees you in time and is able to get by safely. Your father gets ex- cited and makes you stall the car again. There in the middle of the road you sit, trying not to get fius- tered, cars lining up behind you, horns honking, cars coming toward you and your father tearing your hair. Finally after much ado, you get -it going. It's a good thing you are near home, for your father looks rather worried about the whole af- fair. Everything goes smoothly, however, and when you get into your own yard, you decide you can put the car into the garage. It looks awfully narrow, but you are going to try anyway. You step on the gas and zoom into the garage, slamming on the brakes just in time to stop going out the other end. You turn to look at your father, who to your amazement is rather white and scar- ed looking. Later in the evening you hear him tell your mother they had better put more insurance on the car if you are going to drive. Jane Colby '!,9. THE 1949 LANCASTRIAN A Nice Guy Steve Pellum is back! whisper- ed Joe excitedly as he slid ,into his seat beside John one afternoon in early September. A Who's Steve Pellum ? asked John, his curiosity aroused at Joe's excite- ment. But the bell rang and the conversation was dropped until after school. Then Joe resumed the story. Don't you remember Steve Pel- lum? He was an old colored man who lived out on the Flynn place. He used to work for everybody around the neighborhood. My father says he could make the best axe handles, scythe snathes, and chair seats of anybody he ever knew. Steven was a nice guy. Everybody liked and trusted him, but his brother George was mean and was disliked by every- one. One day they were hauling wood from Addin's Mountain when they got into an argument over some- thing nobody even remembers, and George went at Steve with an' axe. Steve ran around the sled, grabbed up a stake and stood his ground. When George struck out with the axe, Stevens swung the stake and hit him on the head. It killed George and Steve was sent to Windsor Prison for ten years. Now he is back. ' Gee , John said, A killer! Iiwon- der what he's really like. What say we go out to his place right now? We could go blackberry- ing and maybe we can see him, said Joe. Thirty minutes later the two boys were in the pasture opposite Steve's place. They picked no berries be- cause their attention was focused on the old house and barn across the road. Shortly the house door opened and a tall, thin, colored man came out carrying a gunny sack and enter- ed the barn. In about fifteen minutes he reappeared with his sack a wig- gling, squirming mass from which issued peculiar grunts and squeaks, and went down toward the creek back of the barn. The boys stared at each other questioningly. Should they beat it for home or stay and in- vestigate Steve's peculiar actions? Curiosity won and they went closer to the barn to get a better view. Steve came back empty handed but picked up a bushel basket by the barn door and entered the barn again. Joe, the more courageous of the two boys, called out, What you doing, Steve? And they heard Steve say, Killing 'em off ! Killing what off? asked Joe. Steve came out carrying a loaded basket and, said, These critters here . The boys peered timidly into the basket and then began to laugh, for they were looking at a bushel basket full of guinea pigs. Steven explained, Before I went away, I had a pair of guinea pigs here in the barn. Now the place is crawling with 'em. I'll tell you what I'll do, boys. For every basketful of these devils you carry to the brook, I'll give you a quarter. J The boys went to work. Before sunset they were on their way home, money jingling in their pockets and both convinced that Steve Pellum was a nice guy. Colby Beecher '50 I . Uncertainty Mary entered the girls' dressing room and, hearing the chattering of the girls, felt her heart beat faster. Tonight was the night, she thought. Everyone was rushing around trying to find a misplaced sneaker or a piece of adhesive tape to hold her glasses on. Some of the girls greeted her cheerilyg others gave her nervous, uncertain helloes. She set her dufiie bag down and slowly began to change into her basketball suit. Her hands shook as she slipped into her suit and zipped up the side. How annoy- ing, thought Mary, as one of the lac- THE 1949, LANCASTRIAN ings in her sneakers snapped. She knew she should have brought an- other pair of lacings, but the extra errand for Mother had made her late. Clumsily she knotted it and reached into her bag for a comb with which she put the finishing touches to her grooming. With several other girls she started up the stairs. They walked nerv- ously onto the floor and started the customary procedure of warming up. The ball was thrown to Maryg she'd have to shoot. Carefully, she aimed for the basket and shot. It has to go in, she thought. She watched the ball hit the backboard and drop into the basket. That helped. After the others took their turns shooting, the ball came back to her. As she aimed carefully, she heard a voice saying, Nickel on it. It was Bob, her old- er brother. She felt a little better knowing he was there. Shooting, she watched the ball roll slowly round and round the rim of the basket and fall through. Then the buzzer warn- ed the two squads that the game would start in a short time, and they went to get last minute instructions from their coaches. Mary sat on the bench with her fellow players, waiting for Coach Roberts to read off the names of the girls who would start the game. Helen, Carol, Anne, Peggy, Betty, and-Mary: she had made it. Elda Gould '50 o Test Flight The day of the test flight dawned cold and clear. The flying field was filled with spectators who anxiously awaited the final moment. The plane stood on the landing strip, its red paint gleaming in the sunlight. The pilot was tense with anticipation as he took over the controls. The signal was given, and the engine roared into life. With amazing speed the plane took off in an almost vertical position and climbed steadily. All eyes were focused on its ascent. And then something happened. The pilot lost control, and the plane went into a screaming power dive, straight down to the ground. The spectators instinctively gasped and started running toward the scat- tered wreckage. The force of the im- pact had been devastatingg the wings and the front part of the fuselage were completely demolished. The propellor had broken in two, and the engine had been torn from its mounts. I The dazed pilot gazed sadly at the wreckage, the control handle in his hand and wires hanging loosely. His first model airplane flight was a failure. Colby Beecher '50 o lt's Impossible On a bright day in May, one of my friends approached me and asked me if I could ride a bicycle. I replied yes and she was overjoyed to know that I could. Then in a hesitant way she asked, D-D-Do you think you fgulpj could teach me how to ride? You see, I just got a new bike for my birthday, and I don't know how to ride. Iof course replied, Sure, there's nothing to it. g She ran home at a speed of fifty miles an hour, or so it seemed to me. Then peering around the corner, I saw her approaching slowly along the sidewalk wheeling her brand new bicycle. It was a honey! Say, that's a swell looking bike you got there. Sure you want me to teach you how to ride ? Why natch, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you, she answered. Well then, I replied, we'd better get started 3 we haven't got all year. She looked at me rather hesi- tantly. I'l1 holdthe back of the seat and handle bars, and you just get on the seat, and-whoa, wait a minute, I haven't got the right hold yet. THE 1949 LANCASTRIAN I finally settled her on the bike and told her to put her feet on the pedals and start pumping. She did, and boy, did she start pumping! The next thing I heard was CRASH. Slowly opening one eye, I saw what had once been a beautiful bicycle. I picked my friend up out of the debris and started to take stock of the poor bike. We finally concluded that there were five spokes broken, the head- light smashed to smithereens, the mud guard bent in a couple of hun- dred places, the bell not even in sight, and the leather on the seat striped, there were so many slash marks on it. With heavy hearts we wheeled. or you might say carried, the bike to Silva's Bicycle Repair Shop. From that day on, I have never at- tempted to teach anyone how to ride a bike. Believe me, it's impossible. . Ella Gefr'h.eII '51 My First Day in The Army g Just a few days after school was over in June 1945, I received my order to report to Manchester. I had already taken my physical examin- ation and passed it with flying colors. There were quite a number of us thereby two o'clock that afternoon, and at three o'clock we were sworn in as privates of the United States Army. After this we were arrang- ed alphabetically by our last names and assigned to barracks and beds. We ate supper about five, and right after supper we were ordered to get our gear together and put aboard big army buses. These took us to Fort Devens, Mass. We arrived there a little after eight. Some of us were a little tired and wanted to go to bed, but the Army said no, not yet. Again we were lined up for roll call, arranged alpha- betically and assigned barracks and beds. Next we went to the supply room and drew out two sheets, a pil- low case and two blankets. We went back to our barracks and were shown by one of the non-coms how to make our beds and warned of in- spections in the morning. Then he told us if anybody wanted to eat, to line up outside. Most of us got ready for bed, for it was almost eleven, and we had another big day ahead of us. Jnlm Merrow '50 0 Conquest of Starr King For weeks Mary, Cathy, Betty and I had been making plans for our first hike up Starr King Mountain. We had everything planned: what we would like to eat, what we would wear, we even decided to take my dog instead of Betty's. At last it was June, and the great day had arrived. Being inexperienc- ed mountain climbers we didn't lis- ten to any advice from our experi- enced parents. We had plenty of food, which I might add consisted mostly of potato chips, sandwiches, cake and candy bars. We didn't take anything to drink, because everyone knows there are all kinds of brooks, streams and springs in the moun- tains. We started out with gay hearts, knapsacks, cameras, drinking cups, the dog, and last minute instructions. Finally we reached the sign that said Starr King. Wondering if we should follow the sign or take a road that looked easier, my companions turned to me for advice. I suggested, as any other born Woodsman would, that we take the easy road, but alas. this was only an old logging road. After that false lead, there wasn't anything else to do but renew our energy and start all over again. While we were eating our candy bars, Mary discov- ered that we had lost the dog. We called, we whistledg then we decided to look for him. After losing precious minutes and wearing out our energy, we found him not ten feet away, THE 1949 LANCASTRIAN sleeping in the sun. In due time we reached the wishing well and decided that this must be the halfway mark. We didn't drink any water, because all woodsmen know that cold water is bad for you when you're hot. After that we walked and walked, until finally I gave up. We were hungry, but the potato chips and sandwiches only made us thirstier, and the cake wouldn't go down without water. Not wanting to waste food, we gave it to the dogg it wasn't our fault that he ate all four twenty-five cent bags of potato chips. We were all ready to turn back when we heard some one pounding: without saying a word we all agreed that it was some one working on the camp. With lighter hearts, and Betty carrying my knapsack, we started off again. I da-re not tell you what was said during the next two hours, there are some things better left unsaid. When we rounded a sharp bend on the trail everyone stopped, for there right in front of us stood a man. With joy and relief we received the news that we would be at the top of Starr King in half an hour. We started out in a mad dash, but alas, we couldn't make it, not five min- utes from the top we fell down. We tried to keep going, but without water we could never make it. Ben had seen us fall, and guessing that we couldn't continue without water, he grabbed a pail of water and came charging down the mountain. We were saved. That night we arrived home tired, hungry and sore all over, but it really wasn't so bad, because now we could call ourselves experienced mountain climbers, even if the climb took us five hours while everyone else can do it in three. Jacqueline Cairns '49 'YP Watering Tubs A glance at the old, iron watering tub in our back yard started me thinking. It's not the only one in town, you knowg there are several of them located at regular intervals: some made of iron, some of cement or stone, and even a few of wood. How useless they appear! Some are completely empty and slowly rusting from the constant downpour of rain, and some are partially filled with water and heaped with rocks thrown by small boys. Looking at them one sees an ugly, iron struc- ture and is completely unaware of the romance behind the story of the watering tub. About 40 years ago the watering tub played an important part in the life of the farmer. Although the automobile was making its appear- ance about then, the horse and buggy was still the chief means of trans- portation. Like the automobile, the horse needed water in order to run. You can imagine a farmer with his horse and buggy, taking an after- noon off from his daily chores to make the weekly trip into town for groceries. It was important that there was always a well-filled water- ing tu-b at its usual place for the horse to refresh himself. These tubs were placed according to distance, and the town paid the farmers about five dollars a year to maintain them for the public use. Now that the horse and buggy days are over, so are the watering tub days. Now they are considered a joke. They were built to help the people, but now some of them serve as a breeding place for germ-infect- ed insects. They could easily be put to good use. Think how lovely they would look half filled with dirt and planted with assorted kinds of flowers. Not only would we still have the tubs, for memories' sake, but we would also add to the beauty of the roadside. Jane Nefvers '49 THE 1949 LANGASTRIAN Saturday 7-ifternoon At the Movies Saturday has come and I do the housework, planning to go to the movies tonight. With that thought in mind, I turn on the radio while doing my work and finally it's time to go downtown to do the shopping. I arrive home only to find that some- one has called up for me to go baby- sitting tonight. So I change my plans and go in the afternoon. I walk down the street taking my time, for I have started early so I won't have to hurry. All of a sudden I hear an Indian War Cry, and a dozen caps go off with a bang. I just miss being knocked down as Cowboys and Indians rush by on their way to the movies. As usual, little Butch, who can't run as fast as the others, is tagging along behind. I recover. and continue on my way. A bicycle whizzes by, just missing me. A runaway? No, little Tommy is on it. All I can see is his head, for he is so small. I hold my breath as a car narrowly misses clip- ping him off. I continue on my way and get to the movies without any further mis- haps, only to find all the seats up back occupied. I wait around hoping someone will change his mind and move. But it is almost two thirty, so I reluctantly go down the aisle to sit among the cutthroats. I am enjoying the movie when all of a sudden I feel my kerchief slid- ing off my head. Sure enough, it's a mischievous little boy sitting behind me who simply can't resist pulling my kerchief off. So I fold it up and put it in my pocket where it will be safe. Across the aisle a paper bag is blown up and hit with a bang. Yep, Dicky's at it again. I settle back in my seat hoping nothing more hap- pens, only to lean back on a piece of gum. Everything is quiet as the show goes on when all of a sudden some- thing hits me in the head. On in- vestigating it proves to be a popcorn box. I turn around quickly to see who the wise guy is, but he is so doubled up with laughter at his joke that I can't see his face. Probably Jimmy or Danny, I think grimly. Everything runs smoothly until the cowboy picture, when all are so excited that they jump up and down. The whole theatre shakes. It is so noisy that the usher comes hurrying to quiet them down. Quiet down ! he shouts at them. My poor ears! Why does he always have to shout in my ear? The movie ends, the lights come on and I try to get up only to find that my little mischievous friend behind me has tied my coat strings around the chair. I disentangle them and make my way toward the exit only to be trampled on by the crowd. As I go by the water fountain, I decide I want a drink. Stooping to get one, I see someone has filled it up with paper and popcorn. What a day! I stagger out to the street only to meet the Cowboys and Indians again. I hurry to take refuge in a doorway as they rush by. I take my time walk- ing home, as I'm exhausted by my afternoon's experience. My advice to you is never go to the movies on Saturday afternoon! Of course, if circumstances demand it, as in my case, for heaven's sake get a back seat!
