Are they still at work? Are they back at school? Just what are these thousands of teen-age boys and girls doing? A recent survey shows that from the ten thousand who have left school only five thousand have work permits. Doubtless there are some who are working illegally, but what about the rest? In one town school authorities sought to find out. They sent post cards to a few parents whose children, in spite of the fact that their work permits had expired, had not returned to school. Replies to two hundred and sixty-four of these were as follows: seventy-three children had re- turned to school, forty-three had entered the armed services, sixteen had left the city, forty-four had no jobs and no plans. The eighty-eight parents who didn't answer were called upon by the school authorities. From this investigation it was discovered that most of the children who had tak-en good paying jobs during the war had lost them. Then they had taken others with a little less pay until they got too low for their satisfaction. Finally they just quit work altogether. They either went home and loafed or loitered on street corners and pool rooms. Full-time jobs are scarce and part-time jobs which can be combined with school are practically nonexistent. Most boys working part-time are working for their father. -Som-e girls have kept their jobs but they are jobs grown-uns woulcln't want. Either the pay is low or the conditions undesirable. Grown-ups want a place to eat but the teen-agers don't care if they go without. 'During the war, negro teen-agers found jobs very few and far be- tween. Now there are practically none. The only chance for a negro girl is at some home doing menial tasks. For pay they get only their room and board. How are we going to meet this problem? How are we going to get them back to school? As long as a single job-seeking woman, white or Negro, remains un- employed, as long as there is a single hard-working father in the United States who cannot make a decent living, no teen-ager should be allowed to depress wages. The most logical answer is to make school more interesting. The school enrollment for this year is much lower than for the last so this must be one answer-more interesting education. All responsibility however cannot be placed on the schools. If parents have no other values than the be-all and end-all of the job, we cannot ex- pect children to have them either. It is the duty of the fathers and mothers of this country to see that their child or children return to schoolg to teach them thepvalue of an educationg to prove that an education promis- es a better chance of making a good living. These teen-agers have been kicked'Q around and it seems that the men and the women of this country shoul i see to it that their children go back to school before the delinquent faced with permanent unemployment, becomes a seed 'bed for a future dictator.

LEAVITT ANGELUS 15 l LITERALT E SALUTATORY Trustees. members of the school board, teachers, alumni, parents, friends and schoolmates, we, the class of 1946, extend to you a most hearty welcome to our graduation exercises today. As many of you realize from your own experience, this is a, very impor: tant day in our lives. Many of us will be entering a life altogether different from the one we've known at school. From now on our lives will be what we make them. We should set a lloal in our minds and in later years strive to reach that goal. Although many of us never reach it, we still shall have gained by it. Better to strive and climb And never reach the goal Than to drift along with time An aimless, worthless soul. Aye, better to climb and fall Or sow, though the yield is small, Than to throw away day after day And never strive at all. Soon we shall have a big decision to make: What we plan to make our future work. There are many things in this world to choose from. Among the boys, many will he go- ing into the armed forces. Although the war is over, there is still a great need for many more boys. Besides the good training one receives there, one is also given a chance to see the country. Others may choose to work on farms.Thisis also a very important work. In spite of the fact that many people in the city make fun of farms and the country hicks . we know that if it were not for farmers, the poor city people might go hungry! And then again some of the boys may be planning to obtain more edu- cation in some school or college. Many of the girls will be continu- ing their education in either college or business school. Some may plan to be nurses: some, teachers: and a few are probably planning to get married soon. . Life means something different to everyoneg as this poem states very well: To the preacher life is a sermon To the joker it is a jest To the miser life is money To the loafer life is rest.. To the lawyer life is a trialg To the poet lifes a song To the doctor,life's a patient That needs treatment right along. To the soldier life's a battle: To the teacher. lifes a school Life's a good thing to the grafter l't's a failure to the flool. To the man upon the engine LiDe's a long and heavy gradeg l't's a gamble to'the gamtbler To the merchant life is trade. Life is but a long vacation To the man who loves his work: Life's an everlasting effort To shun duty, to the shirk. To the earnest Christian Worker Life's a story e-ver new Life is what we try to malke it Brother, what is life to you? No matter how hard the decisions are that we are called upon to make. I'm sure, through the help given us bv our teachers and parents, we'll be able to make wise decisions. 16 LEAVITT And now in closing, I'd like to say that I hope all of my classmates will always remember the good times we've shared in our four years at Leavitt. Also I hope we all remember the good advice given us by our teachers. And again let me say for the class that we are very glad to have allof you here at our commencement exer- cises today. Marion Sanders ' o-0-o-o HONOR ESSAY The History of Leavitt Institute James Madison Leavitt was born at Howe's Corner, Maine, in 1826. He attended the local schools and later went to Norway and Monmouth Academies. He then went to Georgia and taught school. While in that place he married a Turner girl. Later they went to Brooklyn, N. Y. Where he en- gaged in the making of parasols and umbrellas. This proved to be a very successful venture. Mr. and Mrs. I-eavitt had a great love for their nat- ive towng thus they gave it this won- derful high school. which was later named Leavitt Institute. On one of the walls in the downstairs corridor at Leavitt Institute there is a picture of Mr. Leavitt. Beneath it is the fol- lowing inscription: A. D. 1896 This Building is Presented To the Town o-f Turner by JAMES MADISON LEAVITT As a Token of Love for His Early Town And in Sympathy with the Cause of Progressive Education . . ANGELUS Leavitt Institute'was built in 1896 but was not open to the public until the spring of 1897. Prof. Lauren San- born was principal, with Miss Antoi- nette Foster and Miss Alice Pratt as assistants. ' Surrounding the building is a beau- tiful campus of six acres, where grounds for baseball, football, ten- nis, and other athletic sports are laid out. About three Acres are available for work in agriculture. By act of the Maine Legislature, Leavitt was incorporated on Febru- ary 15, 1901. Berry Hall, the first dormitory of Leavitt Institute, was built in March, 1906. It was a large, three story -build- ing. which gave ample room for sixty students. This was given bv Mrs. Mercy M. Berry, a native of Turner. The building burned in 1918. Five years later the second Berry Hall was built on the foundation of the first. In athletics Leavitt has done very well considering the fact that most of the schools that it has competed with have been larger. Baseball. boys' and girls' basketball, football, track, and softball are some of the outstanding sports in which we have participated. There was a good gym- nasium in the first dormitoryg hence, after it burned there was quite a period of time that Leavitt had to go without indoor sports. In 1933 the old Turner Center Creamery was pur- chased and converted into a gym- nasium. The Riverside Literary Society was the first step toward-debating. This club was for the purpose of practicing speaking, of presenting dramas, and of learning to appreciate good litera- ture. In recent years the debating team has competed with other schools with very good results. In 1931 Harold Hickey, Hamilton Boothby, Thurlie Additon, andCatherine Irish LEAVITT ANGELUS 17 went' to Ripon College, Ripon, Wis- consin, to participate in the first national forensic contest for high schools in the United States. They took fifth place in this contest. In 1936 Rita Young, Rufus Prince, Jr., Dwight Barrell, and Stanley Smith went to Oklahoma City to participate in the National Forensic League con- tests. Leavitt has also gone far in music. The orchestra has been exce-ptionally outstanding. The girls' glee club, mixed chorus, and male quartet have done remarkably well, too. I think that you will all agree that Leavitt has certainly come ahead in the past. Let's hope that it keeps right on climbing in the future. Jean E. Bonney o-o-o-o HONOR ORATION The Value of a High School Education As we graduate from high school and go out into the world, it is rea- sonable to ask ourselves just how much this education is going to be worth to us. Let us consider the finan- cial advantages first. A tahle prepared by the United States Bureau of Education compares the wages of a group of children who loft School at the age of fourteen with those of another group who went through high school and left at the age of eighteen. According to these figures. the average man who had remained in school until he was eighteen had. at the age of twenty- five, received a total of 552000 more salary than the average man who had left school at the age of fourteen. He was then receiving S900 more a year than the one who had left school. This Bureau of Education had also estimated that the student will receive 359 more than the gram- mar school graduate, 'for every day spent in high school. Is it not worth while to stay in high school? ' Some of us want to get responsible positions with some firm. Some girls may want to work in offices and some of the boys may eventually want to be foremen or executives of a firm. In order to be one of these we must have something besides a high school education. It will be ne- cessary to go to a business school or a college. In order to enter one of these we have to have a high school education for a foundation. At fourteen, a person isn't old enough to know what he wants from life. He may hear of a good job and say, This is it. This is what I have been waiting for. So he leaves school and goes to work. However, after he has been working for a few months. he may be feeling different. Work isn't so much fun. He may wish he were back in school. He may keep changing his iob thinking he will find one that will suit him. Maybe he will do so but it is more likelv that he will keep right on changing and never get 'an advance- ment with anv company, often be- coming a social misfit. Looking at the matter from an- other point of view, we. find that learning from books isn't the onlv thing one can get out of high school. There are opportunities to take les- sons on different kinds of musical in- struments. These students plav with the orchestra and band in public an- pearances. If one is a good speaker. or if he likes to argue, he may take up debating. The debaters contend with other schools. This is an experi- ence that one will not forget all through life. Everyone can take part in sports. It is a lot of fun and good for a person. The teams compete with 18 LEAVITT other schools. One learns how to be a good sport and has a chance to meet people from otherschools. In high schools one has many friends. He learns how to get along with other people. There are differ- ent classes that one can take that will teach him manners. He will learn how to act when in a public place. How true it is that so many things we learn in school are not in books. Perhaps some of us won't continue our formal education after gradua- tion, but we shall be out in the world and we shall meet people. These peo- ple are going to judge us partly by what they hear about us. If they hear that we never finished high school they will wonder why, but if they hear that we are high school gradu- ates they will immediately place us on a certain higher level. After everyone has thought this matter over, I am sure he will agree with me that a high school education is all that I have said it is: a means of becoming financially successful. an aid in obtaining an excellent position, and an important factor in developing an interesting and helpful life. Mabel Hodgman o-o-o-fo PROPHECY FOR GIRLS While heme on a month's vacation after ten lylears of mv life's work, I found that my vacation wasn't com- plete until I had visited old L. I. After I had wandered about the school building. looking the campus and football field over, seeing that they hadn't changed any since the days I was there, I sat down on the steps and thought of the good times we used to have in school. While I sat there, a noise startled me. I looked up and saw. sitting be- side me, a little elf, looking just as in U ANGELUS spry and witty as any elf could look. He said to me. What makes you look so lonesome? I replied, Oh, I'm just sitting here, wishing I might see what some of my class mates are doingfl With a wink of an eye he set before me a mirror and said, This is the best I can do for you. All you have to do is to wis-h for anything you like to see and it will appear before you. lIn a second the wish that I could see all my classmates in their every day life flashed through my mind. Instantly I saw before me a woman preparing supper for her husband and four hungry children. To my amaze- ment I realized it was Joyce Boothby. I couldn't.help th.inking that she had certainly charted her course and sailed into the unknown. Well done, Joyce. As I watched the mirror very close- ly, the outline of a building could be seen. On one window I saw in large letters, The First National Bank. Inside at a desk sat Marion Sanders, figuring out percentage and interest on real estate. Marion was always good in math. I hope you will do as well in your life's work, Marion. In' a flash. VI saw before me a wom- an's college. The girls seg fed to be asking advice of one s ' in Wat older than they, and I knew at blllce that it was Vira Jordan. She was Dean of their college. They would do well to heed your advice, Vira. With mv eyes upon the mirror I observed before me a Ford Automo- bile Garage with Mafbel at the desk as bookkeeper. She smiled sweetly at each young man that passed her door just as she did at us boys at Leavitt. but as I glanced at her left hand I saw no diamond. Good luek. Mabel A 5 . - Q , Miiallii. 1 vsq :TI lx . W ll fl fl 1 I at . - , LEAVITT ANGELUS g 19 Next Bonwit Teller's Exclusive Dress Shop in N. Y. C. appeared in the mirror. Before it many people were stopping at one of its large windows where they were modeling gowns just in from Paris. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that it was none other than my old class mate, now a Powers Model, Marie Pratt. You have my best wishes, Marie. The view changed. It seemer to be evening. A little boy with a dime in his hand ran into a small country store for a bag of peanuts. Who should be behind the counter but Glenice Francis. As the boy came out, Isaw that Teddie's Market was printed above the door. I wish you success, Glenice. As the scene changed. there ap- peered a city in which one house set out from the rest. As tha door Open- ed. out came Jacqueline McAllister and her husband with their five daughters going to get their grocer- ies. Good luck, Jacqueline. Again the scene changed, and this one astonished me much more than any other had done. For before me I saw a little red school house in which Jean Bonney was teaching. Come to think of it. Jean' was unfortunate in her first love affair, so she swore off men and became an old maid school teach.er. hw.-you be a success, Jean. -,lr As thatimscene faded. another im- mediately followed. This one showed a beauty salon right in the middle of Rrettuns Village, and who should be the beauty artists but Phyllis Gordon and Doris Timberlake. I'll bet Doris would do a good job dyeing someone's hair red . Best of luck, girls. The mirror then showed me the reflection of the front lawn of a vine covered cottage. In a hammock, hung between two maple trees, lay Ellen 1 Lee with her cat.eAs I looked at this, I remembered that Ellen always was quiet while in L. I. May you always be happy! Ellen. Next I saw an office of a very fam- ous author. His books had become famous the world over. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that a young lady of our class had become his ghostJwriter. She was Beverly Berry. G-ood luck, Bev. Next I saw a large white building which I recognized as the Treasury Department in Washington. D. C. It was surprising enough to see Earline Bean at the private secretary's desk. I thought that at the close of school vou were to join the Marines, Ear- line. Best of luck. Now before me I saw a dance iioor on which many young people were dancing. After watching the crowd a minute, 'I noticed Winnie Russell dancing with an English sailor. He was looking at the bells she wore in her hair. May luck always be with you, Winnie. Next I saw a small farm house with a field across the road from the buildings. In the doorway of the house stood Arlene Cook. I should say that she was calling Percy to dinner. Good luck, Arlene. I am sure you will make Percy a good wife And then th-ere appeaiilleld within the mirror a medium room in a large apartment house. It was littered with music and many different kinds of musical instruments. There was a good-naturecl looking woman moving about this room, and as she picked up her violin, I saw that it was no other than Cleo at home, happy with her hobby. Best wishes, Cleo. Here the mirror showed another picture in which I saw an instructor in a dancing studio. She was teaching w- 20 LEAVITT Jesse Libby some new steps. Betty and Jesse were always close friends. Lots of happiness, Betty. Then the mirror showed some farm home kitchen in which a group of women were taking notes and watch- ing demonstrations of canning which were being given by a Home Demon- stration Agent. After seeing you Laurel, I think you have Chosen well your life's work. May luck be with you, Laurel. Now I saw a couple walking in a park on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. As they strolled along I recogniz- ed Alice and her husband. You were pretty Keene on Lindy , Alice, while we were in Leavitt. I hope the future holds happiness for you. Next' there appeared a kitchen in the Bradford Hotel in Boston. As I looked around, Isaw Bertha Keene cooking over the large kitchen stove. Iwonder if Peggy Sennett is the attraction this time. Good luck, Bertha. I looked intently to see what the boys in my class were doing, but here I awoke with a jump to find that it was all only a dream. Mortimer Beckler o-o--o-o PROPHEICY FOR BOYS One evening I was sitting alone be- fore an open fireplace. As I gazed dreamily at the licking flame-s, I caught glimpses of the boys of '46 at Leavitt. Mort was sitting in a swivel chair in a. swanky office. On the door was written in enormous gold letters Mortimer Beckler, Producer. There must have been at least ten pretty girls clustered around his desk. Mort had always had this advan- ANGELUS tage, even at L. I. and apparently was still enjoying it. Gleorge Varney appeared as the owner and supervisor of several large farms. When I observed this, he was doing some experimental work for the State University. Three small children followed him everywhere he went, but I had no way of knowing if they were his. As a log fell down and startled me, another picture took form in the burning embers. A man was sitting alone in a log cabin. He must have been a bachelor because there was no sign of a wife or children. As the pic- ture became clearer, I saw that it was Clarence Gordon. This didn't sur- prise me, for at Leavitt he was either a woman hater or just bashful. I could never decide which was the true explanation. Suddenly the scene changed, we were outside the cabin. Spring in Vermont! Buckets hung on the maple trees, while sap boiled in large pans over the briskly burning fires. Men were hurrying here and there. A team and sled returned from collecting sap in another part of the woods. This business was owned by Clarence. Th-e next picture I saw was a hous- in project. One man was rushing around directing all the work. Yes, the man was Ernest Cook. Jr. Evi- dentlv. he had followed in his father's footsteps and had become a carpenter. Now he had his own crew of men to work for him. 'In the streets of New York I saw a voung man walking along with girls following him everywhere he went. He was treating them with an aloof manner even though he was having a very good time. He reminded me so much of Leighton Gilbert at Lea- vitt that I was sure it was he ever before I' could see him plainly. Leigh- ton was the typical New York play- i.EAViT'I' ANGELUS 21 boy, as well he might beg for the class of '46 had voted him the best dressed, best looking, possessor of the prettiest hair and endowed him with all the qualities that go to make up the traditional playboy. The next scene took place in an of- fice in England. lt was one of the offices of the world-famous Scotland Yard. Several young men were being sent on a criminal case which was very dangerous and might take months to solve. One of these men looked like Tommy Reed and a few minutes later he was called by that name. Tommy had at least reached his desired goal, that of a detective. I saw in the flames a man crawling from under a car, WHICH he had been g'I'6H.SlIlg'. HIS face and COVUI'-RMIS were so dirty that 1 didn't recognize 111111 at first but after he had washed, i discovered him to be i-urland Starblrd. Although he was the owner OI this and many other garages, quite Ire- quently he could D6 seen greaslng cars, checking motors, or doing ally other work that needed to be done around the garage. The fire was going out beside which I had spent a very enjoyable evening looking into the fwture lives of the boys in the class of '46, Glenice Francis O10-O--O ADDRESS T0 UNDERGRADUATES Today marks the end of our four years at Leavitt, four years of work, happiness, and sadness. At a time like this we may glance at the past, but the future should concern us most. How well we remember that less than a year ago our boys were digging in on Okinawa to save their lives, our lives, our freedom, and that of our Allies. Now that we have won our cause, it is our duty to hold it. You underclassmates should do every- thing in your power to help preserve this peace. Educate yourselves to live together. In one sense of the word the world is small today, far smaller than were the United States in Colon- ial times. There are great problems to solve. It is like startiing out with an automobile on a difficult road, you may have to back up more than once before you make any progress, but re- member the motto, The man who makes no mistakes does no work, but the man who makes too many loses his job. You should have some goal in life and strive to reach it. Not all of you can be statesmen or politicians. Do you kno.w the difference between them? A statesman serves for the good of his country, a politician for the good of his party. Not all have to be great to find happiness, you may find it in a humble home. The instruc- tion of many a school teacher in the little red school house on the hill has sent great men and women out in the world. Many of her ideas have reach- ed our government offices. So cooper- ate with your teachers at Leavitt who have done so much to help our class. Our appreciation cannot be told in words. No one can go to Mrs. Young's English class without getting some good from it, no matter how slow the pupil or unstudied the lesson. Her standards, her methods and her ideas are fixed in our minds as firmly as the Rock of Gibraltar for the rest of our lives. Whatever your troubles may be, our principal, Mr. Smith, is always ready with a helping hand. Nothing pleases him more than to see us start the world right. In closing may I say that I hope our class motto will be of help to you, as well as to our own class. We Chart our Course and Sail into the Un- known. Though your course may be 22 LEAVITT ANGELUS rough and stormy, keep sailing. Re- all gone home 'but you need not feel member Captain LaWrence's dying words, Don't give up the ship. Vira Jordan 0-O-O--O GIFTS T0 GIRLS Une uay last March, I received a letter irom Jesse Libby, a member Of our class, who is now in the Navy. He told me that, wnile ne was sail- ing in the Paciric, he noticed a box caught upon a rock and wondered what it Was. He succeeded in getting it onto the ship. Across the top were these wordziS, Gifts to 'Girlsg Class of '46, Leavitt Institute. When he gOt into port, he immediately sent them to me. This pleased me very much, as I had been wondering what to SWG each girl, and now it had been decid- ed for me.

Earline, I have mistrusted that you like the boys rather well from your actions here at Leavitt for these three years.

Vira, I hear that you are a special customer for Matthews' taxi coming down to Young Peopbef Meeting. Some day his taxi may' break down. When it does, here is an airplane with a doulble seat for you to come down in at a much faster rate. Now the box is empty. I wish to thank Jesse for helping me out in this task. May God watch over him wherever he goes. Leighton Gilbert o-0--o-o GIFTS T0 BOYS When I was told I had been chosen to present the gifts to the boys of this class, fl thought, That ought to be easy since there are only seven -boys. But do you know, as I tried to think of something to give these boys, I was really surprised to find out just how little I did know about one qr two of t-hem, although I have seen them every day for four years. However, after long and thoughtful consideration, I have chosen what I believe to be appropriate gifts. Mortimer Beckler . . . Well, Mort, I don't know that you have any particular girl or, for that matter, any pet, either. However, I found this cute little monkey for you. By the way, its name is Mabe1 . It Z4 A LEAVITT is just right for cuddling, too. Good luck with your girls and pets, Mort. George Varney . . . I've heard a lot about a certain Sophomore girl you've been seen with lately. If this rumor is true, here is a little boat in which you can easily sail up Timber Lake. It might be a good idea if you named the boat Marilyn . lGood luck to you, George. Ernest Cook . . . ' Ernest, I don't really know too much about you or your love affairs but there is a book of paper dolls to take the place of some of those Fresh- man girls you were seen with the first of the year. I think the name of one of the dolls is Jane . The best of everything to you. Erland Starbird . . . ' Starb, it is apparent that you are the shortest boy in the class. Here are some vitamin pills to make you grow up. Perhaps you and Arlene could get together sometime. She's short, too. Good luck, Starb. Clarence Go1'don . . . Perley, you are one of the quieter members of the class so we don't hear much from you. Take this horn to remember us by and let us hear from you sometime. Lots of success, Perley, Tom Reed . . . Tom, I don't know your secrets, either, but I do know that you've been seen around with some North Auburn girls. Here is a little car. It might prove useful in traveling around down there. A successful future, Tom. Leighton Gilbert . . . Seems to me you were voted worst giggler among the boys of our class. Here is a book of jokes. Pretty good ones, too. Take these and giggle to your heart's content. A happy and laughing future to you, Leight. ANGELUS This brings me to the end of the gifts for boys. In spiteof all the teas- ing that goes along with these gifts, we all want 'to wish each of you all the success that you deserve in this world. Good luck, kids.

Class of 1946 Signed, sealed, published and de- clared by the above named testator, the class of 1946, as its Last Will and Testament in the presence of the undersigned, who have at the request of the class, subscribed their names as witnesses thereof, This thirteenth day of June, 1946 A. D. Roger Hank Sam Thomas Reed o-o-o-o VALEDICTORY We Chart Our Course and Sail Into the Unknown The first step toward a successful life is the charting of one's course. We must determine what is to be our life work-our vocation. However, we cannot all chart the same course. We cannot all be noted musicians or fam- ous generals. Each must chart his course according to his talents and skills. We each have talents. There is something everyone can do well. Of course, we must cultivate our talents. Gardens do not grow without care-neither do our talents. It is through education that our talents become cultivated-not only in form- al education but in the education that every-day living gives us. 26 LEAVITT The dream of each person is to be successful. But what is a successful life? Is not he successful who is faith- ful in his duties to God and man?t1s not happiness found in doing things for others? Are not happiness and success united? And are not both in- dissolubly linked with duty? A successful life cannot be mea- sured by one's bank account. Wealth is not a sign of success. Some of the richest men are miserable and no miserable man can be termed success- ful. The folks we call Successes - Whait's the secret that they know? What sort of magic food is lt That makes them flourish so? There i'sn't any secret Which you cannot 'figure out, Nor any strange enchantment Which is ringing them about, For when you come to study them The answer's quickly guessed, They worked a little harder And they planned a little ibetter, And they dreamed a little truer Than the rest. So, according to the poem, success does not come without planning. Yes, we must chart our course. Then, and then only, should we sail into the unknown. We must sail and not drift or stay anchored to the shore. We must keep our eyes on our course and hands on the wheel and sail on. We must- Live for something, have 9. puirpose, And that purpose keep in view, Drifting like a helpless vessel Thou canst ne'-er to life be trueg Half the wrecks that strle-w 1i'fe's ocean, If some star had been their guide, Might have long been riding safely, But they drifted with the tide. ANGELUS We shall not always travel on a calm sea. There are storms in life that Arequire skillful maneuvering of our ships. Storms help us to attain suc- cess., We gain valuable experience in learning to guide our life Ships through a billowy ocean into the har- bor. ' The time has come for us to say Good-bye . We are glad you have gathered here to witness this im- portant event in our lives. We thank you for the many things you have done for us. Once more we say Good-bye . Now, as we sail into the unknown, we say with Henry Van Dyke- u O Maker of the mighty deep, Whereon our vessels fare, Above our life's adventure keep Thy 'faithful watch and care! We know not wh-ere the secret tides Will help us or delay, Nor where the lurking tempest hides, Nor where the fogs are gray, When outward 'bound we 'boldly sail And leave the Driendly shore, Let not our hearts' of courage fail Until the voyage is o'er. When homeward bound fe gladly turn Oh! bring us safely there, Where harbor lights and friendship burn And peace is in the air. Beyond thesfcircle of the sea, When voyaginlg is past, We seek our final port in Thee, Oh! 'bring us home at last. 1'n Thee we trust, whate'er befallg Thy sea is great, our beats are small.

Activities have been made partieu- larly interesting by this year's na- tional question: Resolved, that every ahle-bodied male citizen in the United States should he required to have one year of full-time military train- ing before attaining the afre ol' twen- tv-four. The members of the debating team are as follows: Affirmative, Robert Boothby and Dort Biiflll Negative. Erlnnd Starbird and Philip Tucker. Owing to unlavorahle weather Con ditions we were unable to attend the debate elinir' at Hates whieh was held early in lleeember. On Saturday, l eln'n.u'v sixteenth the debaters and our coach Mr. Smith, went to a practice tournament at South Portland. There were four rouuds of debates. We debated in two rounds and judged in two. We also had another practiee debate about the middle of March at Edward Little High School in Auburn. On Anril first Leavitt's negative team debated Mexico Hig'h's affirma- tive team at Mexico. The debate was judged three to nothing in our favor 30 LEAVITT with Dort Bigg best speaker. That evening Leavitt's affirmative debated Buck.fie1d's negative at Leavitt. Lea- vitt won with Erland Starbird voted best speaker. These were our prelim- inaries and the winning of them made us eligible to participate in the semi- finals at Bates. On April 12th, Mr. Smith took us to Lewiston for the semi-finals of the Bates League. We assembled in Chase Hall at three-thirty in the afternoon. Here we were assigned chairmen and judges and had a chance to meet our opponents. Leavittis affirmative de- bated Maine Central Institute nega- tive in the afternoon round at Libby Forum with the opposition win- ning three to nothing. In the same round Leavitt's negative debated South Portland's affirmative at Hat- horn Hall with South Portland lead- ing three to nothing. In both debates members of the other teams were chosen best speakers. We were guests of the college at a delicious supper -w ANGELUS served at the Commons. In the eve- ning round our affirmative team met Skowhegan's negative. The debate was judged three to nothing in favor of Skowhegan. Best speaker was a mem'ber of the opposing team. In the same round our negative faced Ells- worth High's affirmative Leavitt won three to nothing. Dort Bigg was chosen best speaker. Although we did not have a chance to participate in the finals that were held Saturday morning, we feel that Leavitt has done well considering all points. Philip Tucker, Erland Starbird and Robert Boothby were debating for the first time. We, as members of Leavitt's debat- ing team are looking forward to more fun as debaters in the coming year and sincerely hope that more will become interested in debating.

The first of the season our basket- ball team had a rather dim outlook. We didn't seem to win any games but, with more and more practice and more and more confidenee, we began to look and do better. In all games played with other sehools we showed ,frreat improve- ment in our second contest as eom- pared to the first contest. This faet indicates that we were learning and profiting by our mistakes. Our first victory was won at the expense of a very good alumnae team. VVe were very happy over our 25-22 rlt'tm'y, 2 Uni' greatest rival, Mechanic Falls, won the first game by a Close score bnt. when they came over here, we really surprised them and completely dominated the game for a 36-16 liek- ing. two easy wins over New althourrh the second time somewhat better and we had to play a little harder. We had Gloucester, they were West Paris won both frames from ns although in the second one we Gaye them good eompetition and loft by only two points. .lay defeated ns twice. At .lay they really beat ns badly, but in the return game at Leavitt we played on even terms for the first three quarters. Finally, their Lfreater age and experi- 33 LEAVITT ience told the story The score was 4030 in their favor. We played only one 2-lame with Oxford. The Strong High girls were easily the lfesl team that we met all year. At Stronfr they really gave ns a had heating, 64-l7. llowever, six weeks later, we played our best hall of the season and defeated them 48-33 in our own ,QYlY1llHSllllll. This ,frame was clearly the hig'hlig'lil ol the season. This yeal s letter ,Q'ii'ls were as fol lows: Mabel Hodarnan. Marie Pratt.

On the first day of practice we had eighteen boys out, but soon the number dropped down to ten.
