LEAVITT ANGELUS Editorial TACT AND TALENT Talent is something, but tact is every- thing. Talent is serious, sober, grave, and res- pectable, tact is all that, and more too. It is not a sixth sense, but it is the life of all the Hve. lt is the open eye, the quick ear, the judging taste, the keen smell, and the lively' touchg it is the interpreter of all riddles, the remover of all obstacles. lt is useful in all places and at all timesg it is useful in solitude, for it shows people their way into the worldg it is useful in society, for it shows them the way through the world. Talent is power, tact is skill: talent is weight, tact is momentum: talent knows what to do, tact knows how to do itg talent makes a person respectable, tact will make him respect-- edg talent is wealth, tact is ready money. For all practical purposes of life, tact car- ries it against talent, ten times to one. Tact has no weight to carry: it makes no false steps: it hits the right nail on the head: it loses no time, it takes all hintsg and by keeping its eye on the weathercock, is ready to take advantage of every wind that blows. Talent commands, tact is obeyed. Talent is fit for employment, but tact is fitted for it. Tact has a knack of slipping into place with a sweet silence. It seems to know everything without learning anything. It has served an in- visible and extemporary apprenticeship: it wants no drillingg it never ranks in the awk- ward squadg it has no left hand, no deaf ear, no blind side. It puts on no looks of wondrous wisdom, it has no air of skill, but plays with the details of place as dexterously as a well taught hand flourishes over the keys of the piano. It has the air of the commonplace, and all the force and power of genius. It is necessary' for one to possess both tact and talent in order to get ahead in the world. Editor-in-Chief.

Literary SALUTATORY Trustees, Members of the Executive Board, Teachers, Parents, Alumni, Friends, and Schoolmates: The class of I 938 extends to you a cordial welcome to its graduation exercises. Another year has rolled away, and at last, look- ing with eager anticipation into the future, we stand upon the threshold of Leavitt. Now that the moment has ar- rived we find it hard to realize that we are about to leave the scenes of our happiest days. We are eager to go out into the world and meet the future face to faceg yet, with our hearts full of gra- titude for what Leavitt has done for us, we find it hard to break the ties which bind us so closely to our school. This is commencement, the begin- ning of our journey into life. ln start- ing upon this journey, we should have a definite idea as to our destinationsg otherwise, we shall drift hither and yon, aimlessly, like a ship upon the ocean, without chart or compass, or even a pilot, driven before every wind, and wrecked at last upon some unknown, barren rock. Why is it that so many fail, while Opportunities are so great, and possi- bilities so vast? The answer is obvious. Men are not willing to pay the price of success, they ignore the lessons of ex- perience, and, with eyes wide open, head their coursewstraight for the reef where thousands have gone down. Failure is the result of disregarding na- tural laws. Nature is not run on theory, or guess work, but is in accordance with inva- riable facts. When our lives are mold- ed in harmony with natural laws, suc- cess is certain. Nature does not exist in vain. The universe is not a stupendous blunder. Sometime, somewhere, God gives everyone a chance to win and wear a crown of Victory. We do not all desire the same things, nor all Wish to do the same kind of work. Thus nature secures. a variety of laborers for her various fields of toil. ln order to be successful one should early take an account of his stock in hand. For what is he naturally fitted? By this is not meant simply what one desires to do, but what one can do. For what has he an aptitude? Wishes, longings, impulses, however good, are not always the indications of genius, nor are they invariably a forecast of an adaptation for a special pursuit in life. If mere wishes could make men great, or rich, there would not be a poor or insignifi- cant person on earth. We must be our- selves. We have our own special place and work. We must find itg then, fill it. Let us do our work well. The world is in need of faithful, loyal workers. If our position is humble and lowly, let us strive for a higher plane. Larger posi- tions await us as soon as we are prepar- ed to fill them. After we attain a high- er place in our work we should still keep the qualities which brought us there. Life is full of opportunities. They are fairly hurled upon us. Look about you. This is an age of specialization,-in agriculture, in mechanics, in science, and in a thousand other fields. We can- not do all, but we can do one thing well. We can surely find the place and the work for which we are adapted, and, having found it, stick to it. Life is far too short to be spent in roaming. Friends, may you not be ashamed of the foundations which you have so carefully helped us to build. May we show our appreciation of your loyal guidance by holding high the banner of dear old Leavitt. May the structure that we raise upon this foundation spell usuccessn. Again, we welcome you to this last gathering of the class of l938. Lottie Lemain Gould LEAVITT ANGELUS 13 HONOR ESSAY AVIATION For many years the human mind has tried to find means of flight. For a long time the birds have teased man with their ability to fly, and man's de- sire to imitate birds has increased so much that he has tried to copy them. Many men have tried to imitate the birds by making flapping wings and attaching them to the body. They be- lieved that they would fly like birds, but every eziperiment has been a fail- ure. The first successful flight made by means of man-made wings was in the year 1891. The contraption used was the glider. The forward speed of the glider was caused by gravitation, as motors at that tirne were not available for that purpose. The next great step in the improve- ment of aircraft was the constructing of light engines to drive the glider along faster and more evenly. The glory for this improvement goes to the Wright brothers. ' Manufacturing plants began to open, and soon various governments began purchasing airplanes from them. The interest in aviation grew so rapidly that by the year 1912 nearly all coun- tries had established their first aviation units. The next era of aviation came with the beginning of the World War. Many millions of dollars were spent in per- fecting planes that would be valuable in both the offensive and defensive warfares of the various nations. Air- planes did not prove themselves capa- ble of causing considerable damage until the year 1916. All planes cons- tructed at that time were made mostly of wood and contained very little metal. Steel planes were not used until the war was nearly over. The ending of the World War found thousands of war planes idle. But it wasn't long before many of them were put into operation to carry mail. How- ever, it was found that these war planes were not efficient for this purpose so better airplanes were necessary. The government began spending money to build better planes, air terminals, lighted airways, and schools where aviators could learn better flying tech- nique. Perhaps the greatest improve- ment in airplanes are the instruments that have been developed during the last few years. Today, they are the nervous system of every plane. One of the greatest instruments that has been installed in modern airplanes is the radio. lts use has contributed to- ward greater'safety in the flight of the airplane. 'Can we get along today without means of flying? No, we cannot. Why can't we? Because the principal thing this world is looking for today is speed, speed in every sense, and the airplanes posses this quality. We can mail a letter by airmail in Boston and less than twenty hours later it will be in San Francisco. Flying will be a deciding factor in the next world conflict. One war plane with two men can do more damage than a thousand soldiers can on a bat- tle field. ln a few years everyone will own and operate his own -flying machine. We shall be able to take off and land in our own back yards. We can take a pleasant trip to some of the planets for a day's excursion. It may all seem a dream, but watch this dream come true. Stanley Warren Staples TOAST TO BOYS Due to the fact that l am a mere girl, l shall find it extremely difficult to toast the loyal boys of the class of '38. Of course, these marvelous species of humanity have such long brilliant records that l could never hope to re- late successfully all of their noteworthy 14 LEAVITT feats. However, allow me to introduce them individually to the best of my ability. Theron Poland- Theron has certainly been a loyal member of our class, and has accovm- panied us on many class trips.

Now to one and all, best wishes for a future as happy and successful as have been your days at Leavitt. HONOR ORATION Airplanes : Modern Usage and Mechanical Perfections Flying is the Coming thing, and the parents of Young America had just as well face the fact that their offspring are not going to be contended on the ground . This is the opinion of Cla- rence Chamberlin, the famous trans- Atlantic flyerg and, indeed, it seems to be so. A few short years have brought about the extensive use of the airplane. About ten years ago Lindbergh proved that flight over the ocean was possible and now huge transport planes are making regular trips. Cross-country transporta- tion by plane has long been known, but it was something new when trans- portation across the Arctic was shown possible. Aviation takes part, however, in more than mere transportation. It is an absolute necessity in t-he field-of ex- ploration. This fact is proven by its use in several expeditions. The Byrd Ex- pedition, for instance, furnishes a no- table example. Probably one of the more influential reasons for its use is the way in which the airplane has been developed. What a vast difference between going through several acrobatic manoeuvers to get into the high open-cockpit plane of yesterday as compared to stepping into the flying hotel of today. And when inside, what a difference between the uripadded seats of the old plane and the luxury of our modern liner. Other contributing factors are the greater ease of piloting the modern plane and of learning to fly. With most of the young people this ability to fly is as natural as that of driving a car: and that ability' and a few lessons plus sixteen years of age are nearly all that is necessary in obtaining a private pilot s license. Almost everybody has watched the transformation of the airplane from a bungling box-kite affair to the sleek streamlined plane of today. But how many of us are acquainted with the safety improvements that have been devised? Of the recent appliances, the 1 8 LEAVITT radio-beam and the two-way radio transmitter have received the most recognition while the least heard-of improvements are the automatic pilot and the plane parachute. The automatic pilot is a device which will keep a plane level without attention from the human pilot, while the plane parachute is mainly a large parachute capable of supporting an entire plane and lower- ing it safely and slowly to the ground. ln spite of the fact that airplanes have been improved, that pilots are constantly improving their flying tech- nique, and that we have innumerable safety devices, he was most nearly right who has said, 'iWhen any pilot who is in trouble can push a button and switch off the law of gravity, then fly- ing will be safe. Robert Stanley' Hill PROPHECY FOR BOYS Last week, having become weary and tired of my work in the office at Hollywood Hotel, l decided to take a vacation to help me to forget my cares and worries. lmmediately the question came to my' mind, i'Where shall l go? H As l sat by my desk, my head was in a whirl. Suddenly my thoughts turned back to Turner. l thought to myself, l wonder what my classmates of old l... I. are doing? That solved the mys- tery. l would take a trip back to my old home town. Without delay I set to work prepar- ing for the journey. Suddenly there came a loud knock on my door. When l opened it, l was confronted by my former room mate who said, 'il've got a surprise for you! My curiosity was aroused imme- diately. What is it? l asked. There's a traveling show coming to town tonight. Let'1s go! she said. I was delighted to accompany her, and soon we were seated in the theater. ANGELUS At the beginning of the show the announcer said, ul take great pleasure in presenting to you tonight, Robert Beedy and His Six Little Dolls. The curtain parted and who should step forth but my old schoolmate, Robert Be:--dy. The act proved to be exciting and was heartily applauded by the au- dience. l did know that Bob was al- ways interested in the fairer sex, but it certainly was a surprise to find that he had developed this interest to such a degree. After the show, as l was talking to Bob back-stage, he told me that Ceal- and Vvitham and Stanley Staples often traveled with the same show as he, but were unable to be there that evening, as they were in such great demand everywhere. l-le said that they were star comedians and imitators. Weary but happy, my friend and l sauntered back to the hotel. We retir- ed, but it was long before l fell asleep. The next morning, as l departed from the hotel, l took a taxi to the bus station. As l was about to enter the bus my eye caught a glance of the driver. What a familiar face! As he extended his hand and said with a cheerful smile, ul-lello, Phil , l knew that it was War- ren Varney. However, much to my chagrin, l had to sit near the back of the bus and so didn't have mu-ch time to talk with him. Nevertheless, l did learn from him that Gerald Austin had gone into business with Henry Ford. l was not much astonished for l re- called that Cy had been quite a mechanic while at Leavitt. As l entered Boston, l decided to stop there for a few days' rest. While l was walking up the street to my hotel, whom should l meet but l-larold Keene and Eugene Jordan. Keene told me that he was a salesman for the HICK- EY Company, Jordan said he was a salesman for 'iwade and Duntonf' l knew that these two fellows had a great knack for salesmanship but l didn't think they would choose it as a LEAVITT ANIGELUS 1'9 Iife's work. They told me that if I would go to Sears, Roebuck St Co., on a nearby street, I would find a surprise. So, as I liked surprises, I went. Whom should I find but Allan Prince, I-Iead Manager. I recalled our school days of the past, and thought of the many ro- guishn things Allan had done and got away' with. Also I remembered that sometimes it takes a rogue to catch a rnvuef' I knew well that Allan had great abilities and that he could surely succeed as a manager. I had a most wonderful time in Boston but due to trouble with the bus I was delayed about a half hour. So I decided to walk up the IVIain Street. I stopiped in front of a store called The Womanis Shop. I stood there watching the man decorating the window. I-Ie straightened up and look- ed at me. Much to my surprise I saw it was my classmate, Arthur Philoon. I stenped inside and had a few words with him. Arthur told me that William Nickerson had left that morning for Chicago where he was proprietor of an Old Ladies' Home. Noticing my watch, I saw it was time to get back to the bus, so I hurried back. IVIy trip was most exciting from there back to Turner. The next day I went to Leavitt Ins- titute. In Room 2 whom should I find but Robert I-Iill trying to drill Algebra into the heads of the Freshmen. I said to myself, Poor students! I'm glad I'm not you! That night as I was strolling along the road, I met Theron Poland driving a pair of mules. I-Ie told me that he was working for Harlan Stevens on a poul- try farm. Time passes quickly, and soon my vacation was at an end. Within a few days I would be back in the office, but the work would now be less monoton- ous, for in the dull moirnents I could think of the pleasures I had in meeting all the boys of '38, Phyllis Tidswell PROPHECY FOR GIRLS One evening in l950, as I sat listen- ing to the radio, this idea came to mer Charlie IVIcCarthy is so popular, WIIY not make a dummy for myself? It would be fun, and he would be such jolly good company to have around. The more I thought of it, the more the idea appealed to me. Accordingly, the very next day I collected my material and started work. As I labored, my thoughts began to wander. I began to think of the girls in the class of '38, I wondered what fortune had befallen them all. As my work progressed, my mind soon left this train of thought and I commenced to marvel over the life-like appearance which my dummy was assuming. In fact, I almost expect- ed it to sit up and speak. Finally, after slicing the last shaving from his enormous nose, I closed my knife, put it in my pocket, and exclaim- ed, There . There, yourself , came an answer from somewhere near at hand. I looked around the room, but to my surprise I could see no one. Who is speaking? I asked. It is I , replied the dummy, which I had just finished. With these words, he yawned, 'stretched his arms, and sat up. Say, why sit there and stare at me like that? I'm not going to bite you. Take me up in your lap, I have some- thing important to tell you. I am rep- resenting the girls who graduated from Leavitt Institute in the class of l938, and I have been given life so that I may impart to you my knowledge of the fate that has befallen each one of them, 2 0 LEAVITT One day, a few years ago, while traveling through Greene, I noticed a fine new set of buildings. Stopping to investigate, l saw in the front yard a large sign reading 'Mower Old Maids Accommodatedf Suddenly the pro- prietress appeared in the doorway: she was no other than the same Dottie Bradford with whom you went tO school. The only change l could see in her was the addition of a large double chin. At last, l thought, Dottie had settled down. What a surprise to find her running an old maid's home. Gladys, the dummy interrupted, is taking the place of the old woman who lived in the shoe. With all her worries and cares, she has turned grey- headed already. Some say that Russell, Jr., because he is always in mischief, is the 'cause of most of her worries. , Well, well , l exclaimed, Gladys dream has at last come true and she can now make good use of the home economics she studied in Leavitt. The dummy rambled on, Shortly after graduation, Jean got work as 'Steward'ess on one of the large- air- liners. Soon, however, another oppor- tunity appeared, and she is now one of the leading promoters of the 4-H Club. Jean always did like 4-I-I Club work and I knew she would be a suc- cess in whatever she undertook , l said to myself. Janice and Lottie are both teach- ing at Leavitt, resumed the dufmmy. 'Popeye' is struggling with math. One of the problems with which she is having trouble is to make the class un- derstand how to get the dimensions of a certain 'I-Iill'. 'Slottie', too, is finding difficulties trying to 'Chase' a little grammar into the heads of the green Freshmen. So Janice and Lottie are back at Leavitt teaching: the Lord doesn't seem to have any pity on the students in these modern times , I thought. ANGELUS The dummy continued, Upon leav- ing Leavitt, Phyllis went to Boston where she studied singing and dancing. Now, however, she is running a dancing school of her own in New York, and it is said that she is doing very wellf' l'm glad to hear that Phyllis has had such good successn, l said half aloud, 'ibut l'm not surprised to find her giving dancing lessons, she always was a good dancer. uLet me see now: where was it that l saw lnez? mused the dumfmy, as he scratched his wooden head. Oh yes, l remember, it was at the Lewiston Daily Sun office. She had just inserted an ad. in an endeavor to find a boy friend. The same old lnez, always looking for an admirer , l mused. As the dummy ceased his conversa- tion, it occurred to me that all of the girls had been accounted for. But what has become of the boys who graduated in the class of '38? I asked eagerly. Not receiving any reply, l looked at my strange friend. Imagine my surprise, when l found sitting in my lap nothing but a lifeless wooden dummy. Allan Waterman Prince ADDRESS TO UNDERGRADUATES Schoolmates : Four of the happiest years of our lives have been spent at Leavitt Institute. Now as we go forth in Search of new worlds to conquer, we desire to leave with you a few thoughts which we hope may help to inspire you to greater deeds and higher ideals. Probably you all realize what a won- derful ofpportunity you have in being able to attend Leavitt lnstitute. By' the courage and perseverance of your an- cestors, it has been made possible for you to have such an excellent dormi- LEAVITT tory, gymnasium, and school. Remem- ber to use this school property with careg for what our ancestors strove so hard to obtain is not for us to destroy. Speak some good of your school. Wihenever an opportunity presents it- self, mention its large curriculum, beau- tiful campus, and its outstanding acti- vities. ln this way you can keep the name of Leavitt Institute one of which you can always be proud. Prepare each day's lesson as it comes along. By doing this you will be better fitted to accomplish more diffi- cult pieces of work when you are face to face with them. lf one cannot do small tasks well, certainly he can never hope to do the more difficult ones. Cooperate with your teachers. If there is something about your lessons you do not understand, ask them for assistance. They will gladly help you. This need not be confined to lessons alone. They are willing and glad to as- sist you in every way possible. Give serious thought to the example that you may be setting for other stu- dents. There is no need for a student to take that which does not belong to him. One form of dishonesty is that of students sometimes indulge is that of copying from others. It has been said that this misdemeanor harms only the one who commits it: but, although this may be so to a certain degree, I am sure its consequences are far-reaching. The simple act of throwing a pebble into a pond 'creates wide-spreading rip- ples. You may be sure that someone will follow your example. I-le may think that because you never were caught he won't be, and soon he forms a habit which may ruin his life. Do re- member that you set for your fellow students an example, either good or badg therefore, watch your conduct carefully. Take part in school activities. If there is some reason Why you cannot ANGELUS 21 try your hand at work, band, or not bestow upon talent, you still school activities: for, no matter how small or insignifi- cant the task which falls to your lot, if you do it well you have done your part. participate in sports, debating, glee club orchestra. If fate did you any outstanding have your share in Be considerate of your parents. They are working hard to help you through school. It is only fair that you do your part, too. Their reward lies in your achievements. See to it that they are satisfactory. What do you wish to have the rest of your high school days mean to you? Have you decided what your goal is going to be? We all should have some aim in life. Whether that goal be just within reach or difficult to attain de- pends upon how much one wishes to receive in return for his labors. The advice, Hitch your Wagon to a star may be old, but it is still good. Although all the points I have men- tioned may seem trite and common- place still they are the foundation stones on which we build our livesg so heed them well. In behalf of the class of 1938, I wish you every bit of success possible. In closing, I desire to leave with you this inspiring thought: Therefore when we build, let us think that we build forever. Let it not be for present delight, not for present use alone, let it be such work as our descendants will thank us for, and let us think, as we lay stone on stone, that a time is to coime when those stones will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and that men will say as they look upon the labor and wrought substance of them, 'Seel This our fathers did for us! 22 LEAVITT GIFTS TO BOYS About a week ago l happened t0 think that I'd been chosen to present the gifts to the boys of the class of '38. Not having much time in which to select them, l began to worry. What could I give that would please each of them? lVly meditations were interrupted by the ringing of the telephone. When l answered it, this is the message l re- ceived: Hln the morning be at Peck's and you'll receive a package. You may be sure that I was present at the specified time. Sure enough, there in the office was a package in old rose and silver wrappings. I opened it hurriedly and found that it contained gifts for the boys of the class of '38. Was I delighted to think that my worrying was over! All I had to do was to choose the gifts best suited to each one. l hope l have accomplish- ed this task in a manner satisfactory to each individual. Gerald Austin-MEGAPHONE Cy -In your four years at Leavitt we have noticed that you like to talk. So that no one may miss anything of importance which you may have to say, l am giving you this megaphone. Now you will always be heard. Robert Beedy-LIBBY'S CANNED BABY FOOD Bob -l've noticed in our years at L. I., that you have had a hard time deciding with which girl you wanted to go. But of late we've noticed that your interest is centered upon a Freshman girl. Take this can of Libby's canned baby' food, and may you never be bothered again in choosing the one. Eugene Jordan-RUG Gene --l've noticed that you are interested in certain kinds of rugs. Take this Priscilla hooked rug and may it remind you of a certain girl in the Sophomore class. ANGELUS Robert Hill-RATTLE Bob -Because of the fact that you are our class baby and l have noticed how much you annoy the teachers, l present you with this rattle, so you'll always have something with which to entertain yourself, as well as others. Harold Keene-CAR Keene -We have realized how far it is from Hebron to L. I. Take this new car. It is called Lizzie . It is fully guaranteed not to stop at Turner Village while you are driving through to Leavitt. William Nickerson-DANCE STEPS Nick -Somehow l've found out that your greatest desire is to dance. I present you with this book entitled The Latest Dance Steps . After read-- ing the instructions, try your ability first on the Freshman girls. Arthur Philoon-PAPER DOLLS Fido -ln the three years that you have been with us, we have noticed that it isn't one girl you want, but many. After you leave L. I. we know you'll miss these girls. Take these pa- per dolls and l know youill not be dis- appointed. Allan Prince-MUSIC Bill -l've noticed that your inter- est centers around a certain girl who plays the piano. You must be fond of lmusic. l could not think of a gift more fitting than this song entitled St. Louis Blues. To be sure Louis is spelled differently but you can imagine that it's 'spelled L-E-W-I-S. Theron Poland-OVALTINE. Pete ?The class has been worried ever -since that day in English class when Mr. Thurlow opened the window and you almost blew away. Please accept this package of Oval- tine and take it according to directions. We hope that yo1.z'lE soon put on LEAVITNT ANXGELUS 2 3 enough weight so that you'll be able to retain your seat the next time the wind blows. Stanley Staples-TAP DANCE LESSONS Stan --lt has been rumored that you've become interested in tap danc- ing. Please accept this book of the LAWS of Tap Dancers and may you follow instructions to the iDot'. Harlan Stevens-STAPLES Harley -Of late we have noticed that you've become interested in a Post Graduate. Your line of work being Agriculture, you might be able to use this box of Staples , We hope that they will be always on hand to assist you in your work. Warren Varney--DOLL uZip --As l have been at school with you for twelve years and have known what strict watch your sister has kept over you, y'ou've had my sympathy. l know that you've been on your own this last year. But that has been such a short time in which to find the one girl that l hope you'll appre- ciate my help in securing this one for you. Her name is Barbara. Cealand Witham-AlRPLANE Witham --For a time l didn't know what to give you until it dawned upon me that you have to hitch-hike to Mexico. Please accept this airplane which will land you there safely and will be less expensive than shoe leather. Now the box is empty, and it is a sad fact that, since you do not know the donor, who so kindly left the box at Peckis, you can not thank himg but l am sure, nevertheless, that each of you will cherish your gift forever. Gladys Durgin GIFTS T0 GIRLS l can't see why it was left to one person to select the gifts for the fairer sex of the class of '38, lf it takes a year for a man to select a gift for his one wife's birthday, how could I in a year choose graduation presents for seven fair maidens? After hunting all over Lewiston, Auburn, Bangor, Waterville, and Rum- ford for appropriate presents for these fair damsels, and having had no suc- cess, l went home and 'sat down to ponder. As l was considering the mat- ter, my eyes wandered over the room and finally came to rest upon the book that in most households comes second to the Bible, the Sears, Roebuck Cata- logue. What a chance to get those 'presents there. , l thought. l immediately sat down and wrote a letter to the manager of the Bo'ston branch telling him in what a predica- ment l found myself. About a week later there came a package addressed to me. When l re- moved the brown paper from the par- cel, I found it done up in green and white' paper. Tied to the top of the package, was a letter addressed to me. It said that the president of the com- pany, who happened to be in the Bos- ton office when my letter was received, was so interested that he read the let- ter and then picked out the gifts and sent them to me free of charge. This box which l have here is the very one which the president of the Sears, Roe- buck Company sent to me. It says on the top Do not open until June I5, 1938 Since this is the day and the appropriate time, l will open the pack- age and see what it has in store for these seven fair ladies. Dorothy' Bradford. Dot, although you have been with us only two short years, you have worked hard in our class dramas and in variou-s other entertainmentsg but we have noticed that i'lVlower and Mower of your troubles have ap- peared in the form of young men. To guard against this annoyance we have secured this little dog which answers 24 LEAVITT to the name of Buck , You may be sure that he is quite capable of keeping undesirable characters away. Gladys Durgin. Tillie , during your four years at Leavitt you have worked hard and said little. In looking over the presents I find this little Russ colored man so constructed that he will drive your car and Sawyer wood without saying a word. Treat him well. Inez Furbush. Inez, while you have been at Leavitt we have noticed that you have a great number of male admirers. Time often brings changes however, and so, if you should lose some of them, simply' blow this magic horn and l'm sure they will all return. Lottie Gould. Lottie, during your three years at Leavitt you seem to have had two ob- jects in mind: one, to do your work and help others in their tasksg the other, to help demonstrate Interna- tional Trucksf' In the gift package I find this little truck which is an Inter- national. I obtained it at the Chase lVlotor Sales Co. I hope that this little piece of machinery will prove to be satisfactory. -lean Harlow. Jean, in looking over the gifts I find this little rolling pin. Knowing your preference for 4-I-I work, I decided that it must have been intended for you. It will also serve as a weapon in your attempt at running your house and you might find it useful in dealing with Pete Phyllis Tidswell. Phyll, we have noticed how well you liked to dance and so we beg you to accept this little amphibian plane which will take you to all dance halls far and near. Be careful how you use it. Remerber that flying is a pleasure, but it's the landing that hurts. Janice Vlfoodward. ANGELUS Popeye , during your first three years at Leavitt you seemed to ignore entirely the opposite sex. During this past year, however, we have noticed that you have had numerous admirers. Among this group there appeared one by the name of I-lill, who proved to be more than interesting. So, in the future, if you have any desire to gaze at Hills , please use these glasses, which are of the clear vision type. I am sure they will be of much value to you. May this same Hill always be ready to obey all your commands. Now the box is empty, But as we each go on our way, lVlay thelse gifts serve as faint reminders Of this, our graduation day.

Dick Jones Jeff Jones l-lentracks Jones VALEDICTORY Now We Try A Boundless Sea We have reachedthe limits of the harbor, now to try the boundless sea. As we reach the mouth of the harbor and behold ahead of us that open sea, rough and rolling, we are forced to look back and think of the happy years that are past. We see our sor- rows and hardships interwoven with pleasures and joys. Also in the sha- dowy depths of this picture are visible guiding hands that have ever been ready and willing to help us. No mat- ter how far we have let our ships drift, some of those hands have come to our rescue, and once more have set us on the right course. Did we appreciate those magnificent gestures? Perhaps we did, but certainly not enough. What patience and good will prompt- ANGELUS ed them to help us again and again! Now, as we are about to leave this sheltering harbor, we realize how little we have appreciated it. We realize al- so what time and patience have been necessary to prepare us for this voyage that we are about to make. It is our wish now to offer you tardy thanks for your help and guidance, and to ask forgiveness for the thoughtless and heartless things we have clone. We turn again to the open sea. It is rough and stormy, with only a few calm spots to lend us courage. Today we 'set sail upon a long anticipated voyage. l-low we miss those hands which have always charted our course! At last we must pilot our own ships. But are we downhearted and discour- aged? No, we are eager to launch up- on this boundless sea. We have no fear of the storms that await u's. We see not the danger of hidden rock and dangerous shoal. We see only adven- ture and heroism. We are thrilled at the thought of being at the helm, pilot- ing our own ships. Where will Wind and wave drive our frail craft? Will failure or success be our lot? Will we be left stranded, floundering about in a relentless sea, or will we be driven into distant har- bors of success and fame? Who can tell? A thoughtful Providence has de- creed that we may not look ahead and see our future successes or fail- ures. However, although we cannot tell what the future may hold for us, we may be sure of one thing: If we give to the world the best we have, the best will come back to us. Let us make use of truth, honesty, sincerity, and faith as lighthouses to guide us. We certainly can not go far wrong if we have these beams of light to steer us away from treacherous reefs. Are you ready to sail life's sea? Would you like its secrets to know? Then make you ready and be true To the best, as you forward go. There is danger ahead, and stormy Hidden rockls and treacherous shoal. Many a wind will thwart your course LEAVITT ANGELUS 27 Ere you reach the safe harbor goal. But at the end of the journey Your reward will be rich and rare If you meet the perils bravely With your bark in the lVlaster's y care. Friends, Schoolmates, Trustees, Members of the School Board, Facul- ty, and Parents: We do not say good- byg but we do say, thanks for four profitable years and their memories. And Classmates, to you the best that life can give and a bon voyage. Janice Dean Woodward FORENSIC CLUB The Forensic Club was reorganized this year with the following officers presiding. First term. President-Donald Hodges Vice-president-Everett Prince Secretary-Una Lindsay Treasurer-Mavis Leavitt News Reporter-Dorothy Daniels Second term. President-Anna Dunn Vice-president-Barbara Barrell Secretary-Frederick Tirrell Treasurer-Philip lVlacGown We entered the Bowdoin league this year with two inexperienced de- baters, Anna Dunn and Barbara Bar- rell. The question for debate was: Re- solved, Mlnhat this house approves of Secretary Hull's policy for the Conclu- sion of the Reciprocal Trade Agree- ment. Although the debaters met with no great success, the experience was valuable. The members of the Bates League team were more successful. The ques- tion which they debated was: Resolv- ed, That the Several States Should Adopt a System of Unicameral Legis- lation. In the semi-finals held March IS, the negative team, consisting of Ruth Libby and Philip Macc-own, lost to Phillips by a 2-I decision. Mac- Gown tied for best 'speaker with one of his opponents. The affirmative team, Frederick Tirrell and Alden Smith, de- feated Farmington here 2-l and Tir- rell was chosen best speaker. Our team participated in many prac- tice debates before the semi-finals. These debates were with Edward Lit- tle, at Edward Littleg and Edward Lit- tle, at Leavitt: Portland and Deering at Portland, Jay at Leavittg and Wilt- on, at Wilton. On March 9 the debat- ers had the pleasure of listening to a debate between Pembroke and Bates College. They also gave a debate be- fore the Turner Grange on March 5. At the same meeting Anna Dunn and Barbara Barrell gave extemporaneous speeches. We consider that our debaters have done remarkably well considering that this is their first year of debating. Three of our Worthy members are Sophomores and one a Freshman. We are looking for a great deal from them in the next two years. ' It has been the custom during the last year for Leavitt to send repre- sentatives to the University of Maine speaking contest. This year those chos- en to attend were June-Rose Kirsch- baum in the humorous reading divi- sion, Anna Dunn for extemporaneous speaking, Barbara Barrell for the dra- matic reading and Philip lVlacGown in the declamation division. The contest was held on April 22. The debaters of both leagues are sincerely grateful for the cooperation extended to them by Mr. Smith during this last year. We feel certain that without his faithful and encouraging advice our efforts would have been futile. A. C. D. B. M. B, L. I.

At the first meeting of our club, officers were elected as follows: President Dorothy Bradford Vice-President Anna Dunn Secretary Phyllis Tidswell Treasurer Inez Purbush Entertainment Adviser Gladys Durgin Refreshment Adviser Jean Harlow Publicity Adviser Eva Rose Faculty Adviser Mrs. Thorne The enrollment was large this year Cabout 26 membersj, and all mem- bers have participated in planning and enjoying our club entertainments and refreshments. At the beginning of each meeting the roll was called and the members answered with various things, such as a nursery rhyme, a fa- vorite tune, or a hobby, sometimes this procedure resulted in very humorous entertainment. At most every meeting we enjoyed games suggested by mem- bers of the entertainment committee. During the winter term we celebrat- ed the fourth anniversary' of the club. At this meeting on January 26 we used the new dishes fcups, saucers, and platesl purchased by the club, for the Hrst time. Cake, cocoa, and favors were attractively served. LICfC1it'1 T ANG ICLUS 29 At one winter meeting all those girls who Wanted to attend were invit- ed to hear Mrs. Wallace Viles speak on HCare of the Infant . A large group attended. lce cream and cookies were served as refreshments. May was a busy month for club members. On May Ilth lVlother's Day was celebrated. The speaker was Mrs. Thorne, and an attractive tea was served. A Box Supper at the Leavitt Gym' nasium was sponsored by the club to raise money. Another event during May was the picnic given in honor of the Senior members of the club. We feel we have accomplished a fircat deal this year and we all hope that the club will continue to grow in purpose and achievements as well as size in years to come. Vffe have been particularly fortunate to have such a capable adviser as Mrs. Thorne. We have enjoyed her talks and appreciate her guidance.

We are practic- ing hard and looking forward to the reward of being able to attend the Western Maine Music Festival at Kit- tery in May. So far this year the band has played on several Special Chapel programs, and on January 29th participated in the program at Turner Grange. ln behalf of myself and the other members of the band may I express the hope that the Leavitt band of future years will progress as much, both in quality and size, as we have pro- gressed this year.

The chorus work will be by a special group of students selected from the school. The operetta consists of three acts and is built around the character of Rob, later know as Sir Gilbert Howe, of the English nobility. The story in brief is as follows: Lady Constance, while riding in the forest with her fiance, Lord Craven, becomes lost. They wander to a gypsy camp, where Rob and Constance meet and fall in love. Many hardships are endured by both, but finally they mar- ry. There are excitement, humor, and pretty love affairs all through the pro- duction.

While on a vacation she lost the book and it was found by' Ray Norton. Ruth had writ- ten all her heart's desire in a line-a-day and Ray certainly turned out to be the answer to a maiden's prayer. Of course Ruth and Ray team up in the telling of a simple love story, no pretense at all, just an adorable romance. The play was successfully coached by Mrs. Pamelia Thorne.

F. A. The Future Farmers of America is a national organization of farm boys, studying vocational agriculture in the public high schools throughout the United States. The Future Farmers of America is F1 Non-profit Corporation designed to encourage the natural instinct to or- ganize into groups and put enthusiasm and pleasure into work and recreation. During the six years following the founding of the organization at Kansas City, 47 states, the Territory of Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, had formed associa- tions of Future Farmers of America associated with the national organiza- tion. The Leavitt Chapter of Future Farm- ers of America has the following offi- cers: Presfdent, Richard Lowe, Vice- Presidcnt, Winfred Pulsiferg Secretary, Clifton Chaseg Treasurer, Dwight lVlow- crg Reporter, Sherman Princeg Advis- er, lVlr. Fraser. Our chapter is very much alive and has taken an active part in school ac- t'viti s. lt held a Halloween Party in Qctober which was very well attended. Vi'infred Pulsifer and Richard Lowe went to the Springfield Exposition in September. This privilege was in reco- grzition of their good work in the cattle indging contest held at Orono the pre- vious june. On lVlarch I7 we went to Buckfield where we initiated a group of boys to the rank of Green Hands. The F. F. A. certainly plays a very important part in the lives of many of the boys and is a decided asset to our school. R. L. '39 LEAVITT ANG ELUS Student Council STUDENT COUNCIL Seated, left to iihlit.

STUDENT COUNCIL The officers of the Student Council for the past year were as follows: Pres- ident, Lottie Gould ,383 Vice-Presi- dent, Phyllis Tidswell '38g Secretary, Anna Dunn '39. Other members were Stanley Staples '38, Sherman Prince '39, Mavis Leavitt '40, and Maurice Whitten '4l. The work of the Council is not very spectacular, but is certainly very effect- ive. One of the accomplishments of the Council was to have the Junior and Se- nior girls hang their coats in the cor- ridor outside the Main Room, so that the hooks in the lower corridor wouldn't be so crowded. Another achievement was to have lockers built in the dressing rooms at the gymna- sium. During the winter term the Student Council sponsored a checker tourna- ment. The winners were Arthur Phil- oon 38, Wallace Philoon '4l, Phillip Addison '4 l, Harold Keene '38, Eliza- beth Nickerson '40, and Warren Tal- bot '4l. It is an honor to belong to this or- ganization, and its members take very seriously the responsibilities which rest upon their shoulders. S. P.

I. for the last time in the fall of 1937. We were sorry to have Merrill Robbins leave us, but we welcomed Eugene jordan as a new member. Now we stand as a class of twenty members. The class officers are as follows: President Robert Beedy Vice-President lnez Furbufsh Secretary Sr Treasurer Janice Woodward Class Editor Lottie Gould Class Teacher Mrs. Grace Hodgman To start the year off right We had a Uweenien roast at Pleasant Pond. Every one who attended had a good time. We were chaperoned by Mrs. Hodgman, our class teacher. ln October the class celebrated Halloween by having a party at the Gym , Even though the night was dark and stormy the majority of the class were there and joined heartily in the games and refreshments. The seniors were represented in boys' basketball by Allan Prince, Will- iam Nickerson, and Harlan Stevens. The girls who went out for basketball were Dorothy Bradford, lnez Furbush, Phyllis Tidswell, and Janice Wood- ward. Cealand Witham and Allan Prince starred for our class in Cross-Country and also plan to go out for track this spring. Janice Woodward plans to go out for tennis. Gerald Austin, Harold Keene, Ar- thur Philoon, Allan Prince, Stanley Staples, and William Nickerson expect to participate in baseball. Stanley Staples and Janice Wood- ward play in both the band and the or- chestra. Lottie Ciould plays in the or- che-stra. During the winter term we presented a minstrel show in behalf of the Turner Grange. Nearly every class member contributed something in its produc- tion. It was very successfully coached by Earle Hodgman. The Senior drama Aunt Cindy Cleans Up was chosen for our class drama. Mrs. Hodgman, our class teach- er will act as our coach assisted by Mr. Thurlow. We have been on several class rides this year which were enjoyed by all who went. Mrs. Hodgtman has proved to be a very enjoyable chaperone. Lottie Gould '38 CLASS NOTES OF 1939 On our return this fall, we were as pleased to find that we had two new members, Helen Jordan and james Bates, as we were sorry to lose two of our old classmates, Reino Pulkinen and Stanley Martin who did not return at the beginning of the year and to have Malcolm Doyen leave later in the year because of sickness. Soon after our return we elected the following class officers: President, Oakes Kilgore, Vice-President, Anna Dunn, Secretary, Erma Additong Treasurer, Eva Rose, Class Teacher, Mrs. Smithg Class Editor, june-Rose Kirschbaum. Sherman Prince and Winfred Pulsi- fer earned their letters in cross-country in the fall.

Elaine Smith represents our class in both the band and orchestra. Mary Grace Staples is our other band repre- sentative, while Erma Additon,, Mae C-rant, and Mary Timberlake are mem- bers of the orchestra. So far our class has had two class rides: one was to attend the picture Wells Fargo , which was instructive, as well as enjoyable, and the other to see the movie, Goldwyn Follies. Anna Dunn and Barbara Barrell rep- resented Leavitt lnstitute in the Bow- doin Debating League. Both girls have held offices in the Forensic Club this year. On February fourth, the class of '39 put on the play Presenting Polly .

Mrs. Smith, our class teacher, coach- ed the drama and we owe her our sin- cere thanks for 'making it a huge suc- cess. This year our class was represented on the student council by Sherman Prince and on the athletic council by Clifton Chase. Veda Farmer, Mary Austin, Mary Timberlake, Elaine Smith, Eva Rose, Freda Davis, and June-Rose Kirsch- baum were the juniors who took part in the plays given for the benefit of the commercial students.

J. R. K. 39 CLASS NOTES OF 1940 With the present school year nearly over we pause a moment, as Sopho- mores, to recall some of its memories. Early in the fall, after meeting the Freshmen with open hands and war- paint, we held a class meeting and elected the following officers: President Stanton Pratt Vice-President Richard Dyer Secretary Zelma Lewis Treasurer Mavis Leavitt Class Teacher Mrs. Pamelia Thorne Dwight Mower was chosen to repre- sent the Sophomores in the Athletic Councilg and Mavis Leavitt to repre- sent the class in the Student Council. Shortly after school opened the pre- liminaries to Prize Speaking were held: Sylvia Burgess, Wilma Hatch, Una 42 LXEAVITT Lindsay, Priscilla Wade, Richard Dyer, Everett Gould, and Donald Hodges were selected for the finals. ln the finals Sylvia Burgess and Wilma Hatch came through giving them first and sec- ond prizes for girlsg and Donald Hod- ges received second prize for boys. This year the Sophomores introcluc- ed a different type of Freshman Recep- tion than has ordinarily been held and we made a fine profit. Sophomores who were on the cross- 'country team were lE.lmer Hendricks and Everett Prince. ln the one act play given by the com- mercial students there were four Soph- oimores: Zelma Lewis, lris Libby, Vir- ginia Pratt, and Cecil Parker. Wilma Hatch, Mavis Leavitt and Zelma Lewis played tops for the girls' basketball team. Elmer Hendricks, Dwight Mower, Stanton Pratt, Alden Smith, and Ever- ett Prince were out for basketball. Hendricks and Mower, who made the team, were in the game most of the time. We took Uthe cupi' for inter-class basketball this year. The Bates League Debating team was made up almost entirely of Sopho- mores, Alden Smith and Frederick Tir-- rell making up the affirmative team and Philip MacGown being the second speaker for the negative. During the last of the winter term the class sent a Fruit Box to Wilma Hatch who was very sick. We are well represented in the band and orchestra. The following Sopho- mores are in the orchestra: Mavis Leav- itt, Zelma Lewis, Una Lindsay, Virgi- nia Pratt, Richard Dyer, Donald Hod- ges, Philip MacGown, Alden Smith, and Frederick Tirrell. Sophomores in the band: Mavis Leavitt, Una Lindsay, Elizabeth Nickerson, Virginia Pratt, ANGELUS Richard Dyer, Everett Gould, Philip MacGown, Alden Smith, and Frederick Tirrell. The class has been to three pictures: Heidi , Damsel in Distress , and Sally, Irene, and Mary. We have had a pleasant and memo- rable year at Leavitt and with the dis- orderly laughter of the boys and the girls' tittering giggles, we have been Silly Sophomoresf' E. P. '40 CLASS NOTES OF 1941 Thirty-three Freshmen were greeted by the Sophomores at the beginning of the school year. At our first meeting we elected the following oH:icers: Pres- ident, Ruth Libby: Vice-President, Barbara Murrayg Secretary, Warren Talbotg Treasurer, Roger Prince. At later meetings we chose Mr. Adwin for our class teacher. Upon his depart- ure, we selected Mr. Smith to take this position. Maurice Whitten was chosen as a member of the Student Council. Henry Libby is our Athletic Represent- ative. That we have taken our part in school athletics is shown by the fact that Roger Prince and William Hobbs have done excellent work in cross- country contests, each receiving his letter. Those participating in basketball were Phyllis Davis, Gloria Hiscock, lda Burgess, Barbara Murray, William Hobbs, Roger Prince, Henry Libby, Francis Davis, and Oliver Murray. We are represented in baseball by R. Prince, Moody, M. Burdin, Libby, Talbot, Sampson, Davis, Hobbs, Var- ney, and Murray. ln the field of debate Ruth Libby has done well. She was one of our rep- resentatives in the preliminary Champ- ionship Contest of the Bates Debating League held at Phillips. :NJA . ff' f lyxjff Phillip Addison, who plays the drums, is our only participant in the band. Five of our class were chosen for the Prize Speaking Contest. They were Phyllis Davis, Ruth Briggs, War- ren Talbot, Maurice Whitten, and Phil- lip Addison.
