Editoria C HOOSING A CAREER 'What shall I do with my life? VVhich career shall I choose?' That is a question which every young man and woman must ask himself 3 and because it has such a bearing on a person's happiness, it is a question which must be given serious thought and the help of experience. Of course, there are a few cases in which an individual decides upon the right career from the very start. He may have shown unmistakable talents suited for a special field, or his parents may have made a lucky choice in picking his career. However, these cases are rare: and to the majority of people the choosing of a career comes more slowly. In past years a great deal of attention has been given to the development of intelligence tests, thus finding a person's intelligence quotient. These tests are useful for determining the general ability of the student, however, they cannot reveal special talents or point out the right career. Another test which has re- ceived widespread attention is the interest test, designed to determine subjects or field which attracts the individual: nevertheless, these are in an ex- perimental stage and can't prove anything definite. Consequently, each person must choose his own career, unless in some cases financial and social pressure may force a person to enter a certain field. Even if this is the case, he can still work his way by degrees into a more desirable occupation. c Because each person must choose his own career, his decision must be an in- telligent one, based on fact and not fancy. Whenever the opportunity arises, he should visit different places of business, see how they operate, and talk with experienced people about various occupations. ln this way he can receive a clear idea of the duties of the various fields. The individual should study carefully the requirements of a contemplated career. The job may require a specialized education or a definite amount of capital. The job may be one which begins with a fair wage or it may be one which the wage depends upon the ability of the person or the length of time one is employed in the firm. Therefore, every person should carefully consider these factors when planning for his future. Frequently an individual's good traits are not apparent until he finds the right job. Under the influence of the right work his energy capacity may increase, his thoughts develop more rapidly. The job acts as a stimulant, arousing the latent powers of the individual. Because of this, the individual should be cautious in appraising his own powers, cautious in deciding that he has a defic- iency in one trait and an outstanding ability in another. No one can begin too early to consider what career he shall choose. The per- son who starts early in studying and investigating various fields is the one who will have a happy future.

Salutatory 7-Kddress We, the fiftieth graduating class of Leavitt Institure, wish to welcome you to our commencement exercises today. We desire to extend an especial welcome to those members of the first class of Leavitt Institute who are present. May I express a sincere feeling of friendship in extending our greet ing to you, one and all, as friends of this graduating class. Today at the end of these exercises, as we step forth with our diplomas in hand, we enter into what has been rightly called a 'Golden Opportunity'. Since we toddled to school on that first day, many have been the paths along which we have stumbled. Our school years from the first until now have held many and varied experiences. In all our past training one fact has been emphasized. It is that 'No man knows what a day may bring forth in the way of opportunity, nor at what point the door may be thrown open which shall be the entrance into his great chance for life.' The doors of free education have been thrown open to us, and we have become a part of the general educational system of the United States. In comparison with the educational system used fifty years ago, our present program has numerous improvements which were, possibly, only dreams then. Many of those dreams have come true for persons who have grasped these opportunities. Large amounts of money have been spent each year to main- tain our standards. As a result of these expenditures, our opportunities have increased. Our schools have expanded their curricular and extra curricular activities, all of which have helped us to find the correct doors leading to more knowledge. There is an old saying that 'Opportunity knocks but once'. This, however- is a fallacy, for again and again young and old open the door to find her stand- ing there. Probably for all of us the most important door to open is the one over whose threshhold we step today. There we step into a world, war-torn and strife-ridden. When we step through these doors, we shall meet face to face the many problems in this stricken world. Here is another opportunity - - an opportunity to make a better world. How are we going to meet it? In the past we have taken advantage of many opportunities. We have learned many things through 'trial and error'. When a child makes a mistake, he is told what is correct. When a student cannot do an example, he studies it, or if his first efforts are in vain, he learns how to do it correctly. When a baby is learning to walk, it falls many times. Does the baby stop trying because it fell? No, he keeps trying. ln our history books, we have learned much about our heritage. XYe have seen the mistakes our country has made and how her controversies were reconciled. In our school years we have sat through long classes, lived through long tests and studied on good spring evenings. Now that we must deal with the more difficult problems of life, may the knowledge that we have acquired through the guidance and care of teachers, parents, and friends carry us through. Whatever may be our future course of action, on one thing we may rely, 'The only assurance that we are not missing the one opportunity lies in making the most of every opportunityf Mvrtle Bisbee Our Place - - Tomorrow Each and every one of us here today has a place waiting for him in the future. It is our duty as individuals to find that place. It may be an important place well known to everyone or perhaps a small place known only to a few. What- ever may be its location or condition it is important. Even the small positions form the background and support of the large. The materials with which this place is constructed consist of the successes and failures of' those who have preceded us, but our attainment of this desirable position depends upon our ability and common sense to profit by them, and our zeal and daring to surge ahead to attain and keep that coveted position. If we truly strive for our goal and proceed slowly and surely, we will not be unrecog- nized. Looking back to our predecessors, we realize that it has taken many minds to bring our world to its present state. What would the labor of one genius mean to us if there were no one to continue the work? Let us go back two hundred twenty-five years. It is 1723. We find a young printer seventeen years of age walking down a street in Philadelphia. Little do we dream that this boy is to become one of the greatest men in history. It is to this ever-aspiring youth that we owe many public improvements and what might be considered the greatest all-time contribution to mankind's welfare -- electricity. He carried on the work upon which much experimenting had been done. His experiments were successful only after he had worked for six years. He made use of very simple things - a key, a kite, and a wire - yet what an important difference they have made in our living. If we were to discard every item in our possession which was made with or are in any way connected with electricity, it is very doubtful that we would have anything left. We - today - cannot expect to be Benjamin Franklins, nor will we probably become as immortal as 'America's patron saint of common sense', but our place, small though it may be, is important. Certainly - whether known or not - it is worth our while to make it a respectable and complete place. If we do strive to attain perfection, we only continue purposelessly. Although we never reach the heights of perfection, it is our aspiration to do the best poss- ible that makes our goal in life. We have already begun to build our future. Now, as we set forth, we must make each step firm and secure. Only then can we reach the height of our as- pirations - as Henry W. Longfellow has written: All are architects of Fate, 'Working in these walls of Time: Some with massive deed and great, Some with ornaments of rhyme. Nothing is useless, or low, Each thing in its place is best: And what seems but idle show Strengthens and supports the rest. For the structure that we raise, Time is with materials filledg Our todays and yesterdays Are the blocks with which we build. Truly shape and fashion theseg Leave no yawning gaps betweeng Think not, because no man sees, Such things will remain unseen. ln the elder days of art, Builders wrought with greatest care Each minute and unseen part, For the Gods see everywhere. Let us do our work as well, Both unseen and the seen, Blake the house, where God may dwell, Beautiful, entire, and clean. Else our lives are incomplete, Standing in these walls of Time, Broken stairways, where the feet Stumhle as they seek to climb. Build today, then, strong and sure, With a firm and ample base: And ascending and secure Shall tomorrow find its place. Thus alone can we attain To those turrets, where the eye Sees the world as one vast plain, And one boundless reach of sky. I V. Gould Honor Essay Honor Oration HELP THE GERMANS ! Are you of the opinion that we are giving the German people too much? Do you think that they will take our help only to turn on us when they have at last reached the standards that permit war? Let's face the facts. Perhaps we do not realize the conditions that exist in that country now. The Colliers magazine of February 21, 1948 contained an article that gives one an idea of the conditions that exist in that country today. May I give you the gist of that article? 'They are too weak from chronic cold and hunger and they will not be able to endure successfully another winter.' The last winter was the hardest that they have ever endured. In a recent survey, they picked at random forty-one boys between the ages of twelve and fourteen and found that twenty-two had no blankets, fourteen no bed linen, seven no shirts, twenty-two no shoes, thirtysseven no overcoats. Only five of them had two warm meals a day, twenty-eight had one warm meal, eight had a warm meal occasionally and thirty-seven never had any breakfast. Such is the scarcity of food that many of them have contracted tuberculosis. In Berlin alone, twelve thousand persons have this disease. The black market is overwhelming the people. Black marketeers meet in a chosen rendezvous to eat delicate dishes while the common folk dine on boiled roots and mice, feeling lucky to find the roots, and extremely clever to catch the mice. There have been many missing cats and dogs, and when a horse dies in the middle of the street, the women are ready with knives to salvage a piece of the precious meat. They have been eating fungi that attaches itself to peat in the ground and felt lucky to get even that. 4 Fuel is another item among the scarcities of Europe. It has been found that they have been taking the caskets from the bodies of those buried in a temple and have scattered the remains along the floor and have left them there to de- cay. Why? Because they had to have a fire, and if no other way was provided, they had to rob their own dead to get what they needed. In extremely large homes, as many as seventeen people sleep in one room that they may keep as warm as possible. To save wood the racketeers have been putting false bottoms in the Caskets and the dead are dropped through into the grave, thus saving the casket for another victim. The shocked city officials have tried to stop this, but they have been unable to control the gruesome racket. Sometimes they rent a coffin for a certain number of marks an hour. lilectricity is rationed, and fines, jail sentences, or discontinuation of the electricity for the succeeding month is the penalty for using more than the quota. Naturally the people have found one hundred and one ways of getting around this law. Some drill holes in the back of the meter and insert metal that drags on the hands of the meter. Others use everything in the house that uses elec- tricity and the meter goes around and eventually the hands come to the place where they should have stopped, and they have not, therefore, exceeded their quota as far as the meter is concerned. This is only a brief description of conditions in Germany today. The citation of these figures and incidents is enough to encourage the American people to give more consideration to the Germans' sad plight. Are we not aware that by international law the conquerer is required to fur- nish the losers with the necessities of life. This is an international agreement.. It is the American policy to recognize the law and abide by it. lt is not logical to assume that they will be more apt to start a revolt against us if we allow them to starve? Let's suppose for a moment that you and your neighbor had a fight. You were the victor in the feud. Would it not seem logic- al to say that, if, after you had floored your enemy, you had helped the loser to his feet, he would be more likely to forgive and forget the injury than if you had gone away from the scene and left him suffering on the ground? That is exactly what we want to do with the Germans. We want to help them get on their feet again: to give them a chance to be self-reliant and self- supporting. Is anyone as likely to attempt revenge on the person who helped him in time of need as on one that has ignored his wants? Of course not. Then do you believe that the Germans are so inhuman that they would ignore the fact that we helped them when they were in need of someone's help? They are staggering at each step and are likely to fall at any time. They are as a tottering person learning to walk again after an operation. Maybe you say, 'Who started it?' justly so. The answer, obviously, is, 'The Germans started it.' But, is that any reason for us to ignore the policies of good will and neighbor- ly spirit and shall we let them fall because of negligence on the part of America? Some people go so far as to argue that some are starving in some parts of our own country, and that we should give only our surpluses to the German civi- lization. I challenge you to find anyone that has reached the point of using dead horses, roots and mice for food in this country. Probably there is no one here that is completely satisfied with the way Russia is behaving, for, they have ignored the laws that require the help of the vic- torious for the conquered, but do we wish to follow the example set up by the Russians of ignoring the laws of humanity and getting all that we can from the losers in battle? Do we feel that they are justified in doing this? It is true that they are taking all they can get out of the people in Germany. Is that any reason why we, the most prosperous nation in the world, have to lower ourselves to letting a people starve merely because they have lost a war? Do you think that is evidence enough against the Germans to let them starve. freeze and die of neglect? Germany has contributed greatly to our civilization. They are a very brilliant people. They must not be destroyed from the earth so those that are left may chew the sweet morsel of revenge. Can you, and loving, level-headed people of this nation rise to your feet and say that you wish to let a nation starve? Should we, who have the privilege of living in a democracy, be willing to let them die from hunger and frustration? lf any dare, let him speak. Let him tell the world that he is willing for a people to starve that we might have a few tax reductions. He speaks only to condemn himself. Thurlie Starbird Valedictory 'DAY DAWNS: WE SET FORTH When I look back upon the four profitable years which I have enjoyed at Leavitt, I sometimes wonder if the future holds as many bright days and oppor- tunities for us. Time passes so quickly. It seems only yesterday that we were following the instructions of our grade school teachers or enjoying our summer vacation, and then participating in high school activities. Now our happy school days have come to a close. Some of us may go on to higher educational institutions. Others of us will try to take our place in the business world. All the things that we have learned will be on trial. Whatever we are going to do, we must go forth with courage, determination and a definite goal in mind. The world today is in a very confused situation and none of us can afford to 'drift' through life. VVe must all become aware of our duties in the world, and do our part to participate in town, state, and national afffairs. For four years we have been preparing ourselves for the years ahead of us. Our studies are now put asideg the 'day dawns and we set forth'. A while ago young men and women used to graduate from high school with no particular career in mind. However, this is no longer possible. The world is becoming smaller, miraculous things are being done. We must all have a def- inite plan in mindg otherwise we shall find ourselves unable to cope with the rapid pace of achievements. Some people have the idea that when they graduate from school it means the end of educationfstudies are put aside'g however this should not be the case. One can never know too much. VVe should all be intelligently informed about the various world happenings,inventions, and theories. By studying and being good listeners, we can better ourselves as American citizens. Our school years have taught us many things other than those which we ob- tain from books. We've learned to be broad-minded, courageous, to get along with people and to respect others' ideas and feelings. These are all of vital im- portance, especially at a time when the country is in such a perplexing condition as it is now. People of the outstanding ability and of good common sense are needed to show the nations of the world how to get along peacefully. If all nations could be made to realize the advantages which are possible if they cooper- ate, it would be a great achievement. We wish to do all in our power to further such an undertaking. As we bring to an end our wonderful days at Leavitt we hope that we are leaving with the underclassmen the same ideas and desires for a better world, a world in which we hope to play a big part, and we trust that they will go for- ward with high hopes and ideals, facing courageously whatever the future may hold. This much I know: No matter where we may go or what we may do, we will always be grateful to our parents, teachers, and friends and we will cherish forever the wonderful memories of our days in old L.l. Natalie Angell Class History Now, as the class of 1948 prepares to leave its dear old Alma Mater, let us pause to look back and recapitulate the important events of the four happy years we have spent here. In September 1944, thirty-nine 'Green Freshmen' entered Leavitt. At our first class meeting we elected Durwood Gilbert, President, Myrtle Bisbee, Vice President, Vera Gould, Secretary: Natalie Angell, Treasurer: and Doris Durgin, Class Editor. After a few weeks of school, the Freshmen-Sophomore Party was held at the Gymnasium. The Freshmen had to perform numerous stunts, then games and dancing were enjoyed. Later on, came Freshmen - Sophomore Prize Speaking. The Freshmen who participated in the finals were Natalie Angell, Mrytle Bisbee, Beatrice Fish, Thurlie Starbird, Dort Bigg, Leighton Purkis, john Farnum, and Roger Conant. A large number of our class took part in the various sports, as well as in the band and orchestra. Dort Bigg was on the debating team. During the year, Robert Dunn, Birch Banson, and john Farnum left school. Un September 10, 1045, thirty-four 'Silly Sophomores' returned to continue their studies at Leavitt. At our first class meeting we elected David Cobb, President, Clayton Enos, Vice President: Vera Gould, Secretary, Natalie Angell Treasurer, Doris Durgin, Class Editor: and George XYhite, Representative to the Athletic Council. After a few weeks of school David Cobb had to leave because of illness. We were very sorry to hear of his death several months later. Then Clayton Enos left school to join the Navy. As we now had neither President nor Vice President, Dort Bigg was elected President for the rest of the year. In October, Irwin Pearl was stricken with infantile paralysis and had to leave school. A large number of our class went out for sports. Dort Bigg again represented us in debate. Those chosen for the Prize Speaking finals were Natalie Angell, Myrtle Bis- bee, Thurlie Starbird, Harriet Mason, Dort Bigg, Leighton Purkis, Roger Conant and Carlton Enos. The Fall of 1946 found thirty-four 'jolly Juniors' present at our first class meeting, where the following officers were elected: President, Dort Biggg Vice President, Clayton Enosg Secretary, Myrtle Bisbeeg Treasurer, Natalie Angell, and Class Editor, Marilyn Timberlake. We were happy to welcome Clayton Enos back from the 'high seas'. We were also glad to receive two new classmates, David johnson and Leigh :Lancaster. As before, our class was well represented in sports. In April, junior Dec- lamations were held. Those chosen to speak were Thurlie Starbird, Bernice Seaward, Doris Tidswell, Joyce Stevens, Dort Bigg, Robert Sennett, Harold Shaw and Gerald Pulsifer. In the spring we presented our Junior Drama, 'Orchids and Onions.' During the year Doris Durgin, Doris Tidswell, and Laurent Hebert left school. In the fall of 1947 we took our seats at the back of the Blain Room and be- gan our role as 'Dignified Seniors'. We were happy to welcome three new people to our clan. jean Peters,and Weslyn Gilpatrick, who both left after several weeks of school, and Abelardo Rodriguez, from Cuba. At our first class meeting, we elected Dort Bigg, President: Clayton Enos, Vice President, Edith Timberlake, Secretaryg Natalie Angell, Treasurer: and George White. Myrtle Bisbee, and Abelardo Rodriguez as representatives to the Student Council. Our class, as usual, was well represented in sports. The starting line-up of the football squad consisted entirely of Seniors. David johnson, Dort Bigg, and Thurlie Starbird were on the debating team. On November 20, we presented the drama Spring Fever, which was quite a success. Later on, this drama was presented at West Paris. At one of our later class meetings, we selected as our class flower the white carnation, the class colors, green and white, and class motto 'Day Dawns, We Set Forth.' In April we went on our class trip to Boston. XYe had a very enjoyable time. During the year, Marion Gordon left school. And now our four years here are over, But though we roam through sea and sky, I'm sure that deep down in our hearts, VVe'll still remember old L.I. Joyce Stevens Address to Undergraduates Schoolmates: Before you, you see ,the class of '48, Tomorrow they will be a part of the outside world. Some have planned futuresg others have vague ideas as to what they want to do. judging by what they have done at old L.I., they will all make the best of everything. Anyway, I would like to wish them all the best of luck, and to wish that the door of opportunity may be open to them. The accomplishment in four years at Leavitt is known only to the individual himself. lNhat you may obtain is determined only by what you put into a task. So I urge you all to study hard, and to try for the highest marks you are capable of obtaining. The benefits of high marks are something you'll never be sorry about. A coach likes material that is good in studies, for he considers that it also takes intelligence to play good sports. The best reward of all for doing a little study- ing comes when the honor roll is put on the board. This little acknowledge- ment of the good work you have done will mean a great deal to you. The activities at Leavitt are increasing very rapidly. There have been many clubs established. They aren't all functioning too well. This is because the students' interests are lacking. I hope you will all participate in these activities. In this way you will strengthen the clubs and certainly have more fun. Leavitt has graduated many students and of her they all have a memory they cherish. I know you will all help to keep her standards and highest ideals to the best of your ability. Speak well of your school! She is something of which you should all be proud. In acquiring a high school education there is often strife and many diffi- culties to cope with. In parting I would like to leave with you this poem to help you along your way. Did you tackle the trouble that came your way With a resolute heart and cheerful, Or hide your face from the light of day With a craven soul and fearful? Oh, trouble's an ounce, trouble's a ton, Trouble's what ever you make itg lt isn't the fact you're hurt that counts, But only how did you take it. You're beaten to earth - well, well, what's that - Come up with a smiling face, lt's nothing aginst you to fall down flat, But to lie there - - that's disgrace. The harder you're thrown - the higher,you'll bounce: Be proud of your blackened eye: lt isn't the fact you're licked that counts But how did you fight and why,? And tho you be done to death, What then - if you've battled the best you could? If you've played your part in this world of men, The critics will call it good. Death comes with a crawl, or comes with a pounce. And whether he's slow or spry - - It isn't the fact that you're dead that counts - But only how did you die! Clayton Enos Toast to Girls To the Girls of the class of '48, 50th Class to graduate, I say, being supposedly sane, You're the bestest senior girls in Maine. You've proved to classes past your worth, By bettering the principles they set forth. just studying with you has been a treat, For as all-round girls you can't be beat. As the fiftieth class to graduate from Leavitt Institute, you, the girls of the graduating class, have every reason to be proud of the accomplish- ments you have made in all activities since you entered this school as Freshmen four years ago. The preceding forty-nine classes may feel assured that you have upheld and improved the principles and standards they put forth. These standards and principles and your improvements have made Leavitt Institute what it is today, May each and every one of you profit by your experiences in Leavitt and go forth to help make this world a better place to live in. The Best of Luck in the future to every one of you. David johnson Toast to Boys I feel that this is a great honor to be able to give a toast to the Senior boys. Here's to the boys of forty-eight They are the best in all the state. Why say the state when we mean the world? For every one's worth his weight in gold. Never was there a class so well represented by boys that are as intelligent as those of '48. In debate we have a small group that can outwit the best debaters in the state. In sports, they are shining stars of glory as our tall, dark, and handsome boys run down the basketball floor with the ball in their hand. In football we have the tall, broad shouldered kind that block and tackle with astonishing re- sults. And in baseball they really shine, as they strike out their opponents 1,2,3. Some of our boys are possible rivals of Gable, Scott, and jolson with their curly hair, broad shoulders, and charming manners. There are also our witty boys who might well be another Bob Hope or Red Skelton. But we also have our share of quiet boys that lend dignity to our class. All in all, I think we have one of the best groups of boys in all the world. Here's to their future health, wealth and happiness. Beatrice Fish Gifts to Girls Miss Angell Natalie - I realize that this isn't the season for earmuffs, but I think that you can find a use for these. Wear them over your ears and you won't be annoyed by whistles and wolf calls when you walk down the street. Miss Bisbee Myrtle - I'm sure this little man was meant for you. I'm afraid your man is going to leave you soon, but, if you have this fellow, you needn't steal some other girl's boyfriend. I hope you find him pleasant and agreeable. Miss Fish Beady - You were chosen as the vividest blusher, but there's something here to remedy it. Wear this rouge, and no one will know whether you're blushing or not. Miss Gould Vera - I have heard it rumored that you are going to start wearing lipstick when you enter college next fal'l. Here is a popular brand that will get you off to a right start. In case you are undecided, I have contacted all our classmates and they feel you are old enough now. If you do use it, let me know the results. M iss Lounsbury Maxine - You were chosen the loudest whisperer and I can see that you like to make yourself heard. This megaphone will prevent your exerting your vocal chords from now on. Miss Mason Harriet - I have noticed that you have been absent a lot this last term. Evi- dently the days of the week become confused in your mind. To cure this fault you can use this calendar. Here's hoping you can keep things straight from now on. Miss Nickerson Phyllis - I understand you've got an interest up in New Vineyard. Since that is quite a distance from here you won't be able to walk there. This little bike ought to give you adequate transportation. There aren't two seats on it but here's a place on the back on which one can stand in case two want to ride. Miss Seaward Bunny - You have been troubled somewhat lately by a lack of safety pins, but this collection will put an end to your troubles. Always keep them handy and 1 know you can use them. I think this will put a stop to some of the jokers who have been kidding you. Miss Starbird I Thurl - You were voted the best athlete for girls this year, and you certainly were 'on the ball' in all sports, but you really shone in basketball, so here is a little basketball to remind you of the good old days. Miss Stevens Joyce - you were chosen the quietest member of our class which, incidentally, is a very poor choice. I know that you have several boy friends around. Thus you must be looking your best at all times. This comb and mirror should be convenient for you. Best offluck with them. Miss Timberlake Edith - you were always in the midst of our card parties and I know you want to continue to play. Since we always used your pack, I think you should be repaid. I'm sure this little pack will give you lots of service. Miss Timberlake Marilyn - I've been told that you are to be married this fallg so this rolling pin is just the thing for you. It is always a handy article to have around the house. I hope you know how to use it. just don't tell your husband who gave it to you. Miss Burdg Stubby - There's only one thing left, so it must be yours. When you get that lonely feeling just get this banner out. It will remind you of some of the finer things in life and help to console you. A Leighton Purkis GIFTS TO BOYS While we were in Boston on our class trip, we attended the 'Pot O' Gold' show. There we won several prizes, including two mysterious boxes, labeled 'Do not open 'til Graduation.' Graduation is here at last, so we are going to open them at this time. CLAYTON ENOS joe - While trying to decide on a color for our graduation gowns, you seemed to have your mind pretty well set on green. I'm sorry we decided contrary to your wishes, but to soothe your ego, here is a little green gown for your very own. DORT BIGG Dort - Since you're always trying to 'clean-up' on the teams with whom you debate, we thought this can of Dutch Cleanser might be of some help to you. ABELARDO RODRIGUEZ Bill - No doubt you will be returning home to Cuba soon. We want you to have an American doll to remind you of the L.I. girls. You may name her Myrtle if you like. ROBERT SENNETT Bob - We girls have often wondered how you keep those deep waves in your hair. I think I have finally found the solution, so here for you is a new bottle of wave set. CARL HODGES Carl - You have always been rather studious while at Leavitt: so to help you preserve your eloquence after leaving Mrs. Young's careful guidance, I have for you a pocket dictionary. GERALD PULSIFER ' jerry - We have noticed, especially during basketball season, that you have a very quick temper. In order that you may become angry at anyone without fear, here is a book by Charles Atlas that will make a he-man out of you. ROGER CONANT Roger - Your curly blond hair has long been the envy of the girls at Leavitt. Here is a package of Blondex in case it should ever grow darker. CLARENCE AUSTIN Clarence - You seem to be an industrious fellow as we always see you work- ing in a town truck. In order that you may go into business for yourself, here is a little red truck. GEORGE WHITE George - You've always been a pretty popular fellow with the girls. To make sure you don't forget their phone numbers and addresses, here is a little black book. Guard it with your life. DAVID JOHNSON A Dave - Your blond hair which is always hanging in your eyes is a constant source of wonder to us. We wonder why you're not cross-eyed by now. To prevent such a catastrophe, here is a package of bobby pins. Put them in good use and relieve our anxiety. GLENN FOSTER Glen - You always seem to have a lot of trouble removing the aroma of other people's cigarette smoke from your 'Chevy'. To help you at this task may I present this bottle of Airwick which is advertised to do a good job. LEIGHTON PURKIS Purk - We hear that you are an avid duck hunter so I procured this bow and arrow and hope to see you try your luck with them. HAROLD SHAW Pete - You always have seemed rather girl-shy. To help you get acquainted with some, read this 'Calling All Girls' magazine from cover to cover. Then you may talk with them about the latest fashions. LAWRENCE RUSSELL Lawrence - You always have your little Ford full of passengers. To save wear on the springs, use this bus everyday and save the Ford for special occasions. CARLTON ENOS Johnny - We hear you have fights with your brother at intervals. Here is a pair of boxing gloves with which to protect yourself. CECIL LANCASTER Leigh - You live quite a way off the beaten path over in Leeds. To make it easier for you to seek out civilization once in a while, here is an airplane. Marilyn Burdg PROPHECY FOR GIRLS 'I'm no prophet, and I don't pretend to be one.' This I thought and much more as I sat on my porch gloomily berating the powers which had assigned the writing of the 'Prophesy for Girls' to me. Suddenly the wind which had been blowing lustily all day hurled a sheaf of old newspapers into my face. I clawed the clammy things from my face and idly looked at the headlines. The first thing that caught my startled eye was the date. Unless my eyes were deceiving me, these papers had all made a misprint, for every one of them was dated 1958!! The news of the day looked unfamiliar, but some of the articles were decidedly helpful in the writing of this Prophecy. TIIE LEWISTON DAILY SUN - - Local woman breaks all records with third set of triplets. Yes, folks, Natalie has brought fame to Turner again. TIIE IIA VA NA TIMES - - Myrtle Rodriguez has just returned to Cuba after a short visit with friends in the ll.S. In TIIE BR UNSWICK RECORD I noticed an advertisement. Rollins, Russell and Burdg, Car Repairs. Hmm, still at it. TIIE KENNEBEC JO UR NAL - - Miss Beatrice Fish has just opened her 'Modern Nursery Home' for children from four to forty lBoys pre- ferredl. Good luck, Beatrice. TIIE NEW YORK TIMES - - The Metropolitan announces that Miss Vera Gould, that talented pianist will play here tonight. Miss Gould has just returned from a European tour. TIIE GEORGIA JO UR NAL - - Georgia now boasts the only tobacco auctioneer, Miss Maxine Louns- bury, who is said to have received her training at Leavitt Institute, a small High School in Maine. TIIE LEWISTON EVENING JOURNAL - - Miss Phyllis Nickerson and Miss Joyce Stevens announce their plans for a double wedding ceremony Saturday. The lucky men lthis part of the paper was tornl. These weddings will terminate two successful business careers which these girls have enjoyed. TIIE CHICAGO TRIB UNE Miss Harriet Mason presents to the lucky public the gala opening of 'Hatties Hat Hatchery'. The smartest hat shop in town. Good luck, Harriet. TIIE DAILY MIRROR - - Another national championship for Starbird's Stars! Thurlie Starbird, coach and star player, is directly responsible for the remarkable success of her team. TIIE MIAMI BEACII SENTINAL Cinderella Seaward is now engaged to that wealthy playboy, T. Bova. lt is rumored that they knew each other in high school. THE HOLL YWOOD B ULLETI N Miss Marilyn Timberlake, the nation's favorite pin-up girl, will star in a new picture. It is expected to be another great success. THE BOSTON ADVERTISER - - It is rumored that Miss Edith Timberlake, well known business woman, may end her successful climb in the business world by marriage. Marriage or business, whichever she may choose, Miss Timberlake will succeed. At this point, another gust of wind tore the papers from my grasp and I have never seen them again. I Dort Bigg PROPHECY FOR BOYS I came from Gypsy-ville to tell the future of the boys of 1948. GEORGE WHITE Your life line shows you a gay, carefree lad, but now that you've completed four years of high school you're going to settle down and lead a more serious life. You will become famous as an athletic director. You are to marry while young and become a devoted husband. CLARENCE AUSTIN Clarence, they tell me you are the most bashful of the class, but perhaps they don't know you. You are going to travel and become a road constructor. Women are going to admire you for the smooth roads you'll build past their homes, so watch out! One might decide to 'grab' you and then you'd no longer be 'bashful', Austin. LEIGHTON PURKIS Here we have a mirthful, nonchalant lad, always ready with a joke. You'll continue to be just as lively after you leave L.I. You'll be a 'jack of all trades' lyour lessons in taxidermy may be of great usel but one thing can be seen very distinctly, y0u'll have twelve little 'Purkises'. CARL HODGES 'Chef' is the word which stands out in your life, but, sad to say, the line is broken and shows another occupation - - Something more exciting. There are girls pictured in your palm, too. Could it be that girls will lead you on a different course? DAVID JOHNSON I can see you standing before a crowd, talking at full speed. Are you debating, running for senator, or just talking to make a noise? Whatever it is, Daxe, may you be as successful as you have been this year. LAVVRENCE RUSSELL There is very distinctly the outline of a truck in your palm. Probably this will have a great influence on your future. VVe realize you get a great deal of pleasure in sitting behind a wheel. May you roll along through life as smoothly as you have through L.I. DORT BIGG A romantic, roving Romeo, forever watchful for a new girl. The lines suggest prosperity in your future. I'm sure that, if you carry out your plans for being a doctor, you'll have a lot of patients, especially females. May you continue to laugh along life's road. CLAYTON ENOS I see in your palm a ring. This means great success in your love affairs, and that a wedding is not too far off. You are also pictured with a baseball team. You were always pretty good as a pitcher and you'll increase your accuracy in the days to come. May the best of everything come your way. GERALD PULSIFER A large farm rises in your future. On it stands a forest, tall and stately. I'm sure you'll be a great success as afarmer and wood- chopper. You'll give some girl a nice home and a jolly husband. Best of luck, jerry, as a future farmer of America. ROBERT SEN NETT Your love line is very long and broad. Your romances have been many. A play boy is going to be your future fate and you'lI continue to string along many girls. You're to be an undecided man and you'll be engaged many times before you thoroughly make up your mind to 'settle down.' LEIGH LANCASTER In your palm the 'clowning line' stands out distinct- ly. Barnum and Bailey Brothers will feature you as the main clown. Always going and never still, never content with one thing - that's the way you've been at L.I. and the way you'll continue to be. May your pranks lead you to a very happy and successful life. ABELARDO RODRIGUEZ Your lines indicate great success as an engineer. Your manners, intelligence, and especially your dancing will carry you far in- to a successful future. No matter what course you may take, Bill, girls will follow you saying, 'Senior, Senor'. You'll be successful .on any path. GLENN FOSTER The lines of your palm distinctly picture a garage. Above it are the words: 'Buy your Chevrolet at Foster's'. Beside you stands a 'cure blond.' She has the features of 'Gloria', the girl from South Paris. Evidently Gloria has decided to become a partner at Foster's Chevrolet Garage. May your biggest dreams give you high success, Glenn. ROGER CONANT Your palm indicates wealth. You will become one of the most prominent business men of the country. The blond, curly wigs which 'The Conant, Ina' will manufacture are to be very popular with the girls who like blond hair. HAROLD SHAW You will become one of the most prosperous farmers of your time. Your love line is broken, so, although you'll fall in love many times, you will remain a bachelor and do your farming alone. Best of Luck, Pete, and may you be successful raising farm products. CARLTON ENOS Here is the boy with the beautiful, big brown eyes. Your romances will be many. Marriage will come your way twice. The first will be a short whirlwind marriage, but the second will be more serious. You'll be a 'jack of all trades' with no one outstanding talent.

As always, the senior class was sports' minded and turned out the majority of athletes. To football our class gave George White, Lawrence Russell, Leigh Lancaster. Gerald Pulsifer, Dort Bigg, Leighton Purkis, Clayton Enos, and Harold Shaw, On the basketball court we cheered George White, Gerald Pulsifer, Bill Rod- riguez, Leighton Purkis, Leigh Lancaster, Harold Shaw, and Roger Conant, with Robert Sennett as manager.

SOPHOMORE DRAMA This year the Sophomores decided to try their luck at acting. I believe it was the first time that Sophomores have presented a drama for many years. On February 20, 1948 we put forth our play The Inner Willy at Turner Center Grange and drew a large crowd. On March 12 we repeated it at Livermore Grange Hall. XYe owed our success to Miss Evans, our coach.

Talbot, Theresa Grant as Mrs. Kadan, james Lowell as Alan, and Betty Hannaford as Annie. Gerald Pulsifer was the Stage Manager and Mr. Dyer coached the drama. On Monday, March 8, we gave our first performance in the Church vestry and it gave us a chance to correct stage difficulties before travelling to North Yarmouth Academy on Wednesday night, March 10. At North Yarmouth Academy we presented Strange Road in competition with Lisbon High School and Morse High School. After the plays all casts were in- vited to the Principal's house for a social time and refreshments. On April 10, the entire cast went to Bowdoin College to see the plays which were chosen for the finals.

The officers are Betty McAllister, President, Roberta Grant, Vice Presidentg Rosalea Sennett, Secretary, and june Harkness, Treasurer. One of the first activities was a mystery ride, which took place in October. We made about 84800. The next thing we undertook was making curtains for the main room of the school building. The project turned out very successfully. XVe held a raffle on a lamp. Each girl was given twenty tickets to sell. Bertha Pulsifer and Betty McAllister each received a lamp because they sold over 125 tickets. The winner of the lamp was Mrs. Dot Byron. We united with the Commercial Club to give the boys' and girls' basketball team a banquet. We feel that the Club has been very successful this year and we hope there will be a club next year which will be even better.

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA At our first meeting we elected Leigh Lancaster President, Irwin Pearl, Vice President, Harold Shaw, Secretaryg-and Gerald Pulsifer ,Treasurer. Although the Future Farmers have not been too active this year, we have been more successful than in previous years. For instance, the boys won the cup for the judging of cattle at Fryeburg Fair, as Leigh Lancaster, led the boys by getting ninty-eight per cent in his judging of dairy cattle. Also Harold Shaw helped a great deal by getting second prize in the beef cattle judging contest. Next in importance was the day when we acted as host to the Southern Dis- trict F.F.A. Chapters. There were nine of the eleven schools present. The busi- ness meeting was held in the forenoon while the entertainment took place in the afternoon. There was very little business and so the meeting was adjourned. ln the afternoon basketball games were enjoyed by everyone. It was a very pleasant and profitable occasion. A minor activity was the selling of soda at the basketball games so as to earn a little money. Before June we plan to have a Father and Son banquet and sponsor a few dances.

Natalie Angell At the beginning of the school year there were only ten members, but after the first ranking period six new members were initiated. From the initiation we learned many things, among which were the Hula dance, ballet dance, Lorraine Howard's past, and the latest styles in dress for both ladies and gentlemen. During noon hours, various members of the Club have sold candy and ice cream, thereby increasing our capital. The Commercial Club helped the Home Ec. Club sponsor a banquet for the basketball boys and girls. In May we plan to have another May Ball. This year we are having both King and Queen. We wish to thank Mr. Dyer for his help and companionship which has con- tributed much to make our club a great success.

Sophomores: Leslie Boothby and George Ricker. Freshmen: Hope Cunningham, Betty Hannaford and Frank Moore. The following officers were elected: President: Dort Bigg Vice President: George Ricker Sec. and Treasurer: Betty Hannaford Faculty Adviser . Principal, George Cunningham After Christmas vacation, we started studying this year's question for debate which was: Should the Federal Government require compulsory arbitration of all basic American Industries? During this process we staged many practice debates with teams from our own group. In February, a tournament was held at Lewiston High School. Leavitt had four teams participating. We won five out of eight, a record second only to that of Mission High School, Roxbury, Mass. The last of February another tourna- ment was held at South Portland High. Out of eight debates there, we won four. In March, practice debates were held at Leeds Grange with a Lewiston team and at Turner K. of P. with a Cheverus team, with Leavitt losing to Lewiston winning over Cheverus. Practice debates have been held at Livermore Grange. and in school assemblies and on several other occasions. In March, an out-of-state debate trip was taken. VVe met such schools as Laconia, Plymouth, Lancaster, and Holderness, all in N.H. We won four out of eight on this trip. Also in March, we applied for membership in the National Forensic Leagtie. Members at this writing are Dort Bigg, Hope Cunningham, Thurlie Starbird, Nancy Cunningham, Theresa Grant, David johnson, George Ricker, Leslie Boothby, and Betty Hannaford. i On March 24 and 25, the Bates Interscholastic Preliminaries were held. Leavitt drew Lisbon Falls' affirmative and Mechanic Falls' negative respective- ly. We won the first 2-1 and the second 3-0. On April 7,- a special tournament between Lewiston High and Leavitt was held. We madea clean sweep here winning four out of four. On April 17, the New England Forensic League finals are being held. On April 24, the Bates semi-finals take place. If we win in thiscontest, we are scheduled to compete in the finals. We are well on the way to State Championship!

CHESS AND CHECKER CLUB At the beginning of the year, we established a Chess and Checker Club. We elected Cort Bigg: President, Edwin Keene, Vive Presidenr, Hope Cunningham, Secretary and Treasurer. We had a match with Winthrop at Winthrop, which we won. The memgers who played in this were Johny Enos, Edwin Keene, john Towle, Dort Bigg, Leslie Boothby, Glenn Foster, and Walter Wills, an alternate. We were going to arrange a return match with Winthrop here, but we could not decide on a date. We had a Chess tournament at school and Dort Bigg was declared victor. We hope next year to get more schools interested in both chess and checkers and perhaps to form a tournament between schools.

A large group met and the following were chosen: Natalie Angell, Bernice Seaward, Thurlie Starbird, Marilyn Timberlake and jean Ellis for the football season, Norrice Additon, Wilma Alden, jean Genthner, Hope Cunningham, june Harkness, and Marilyn Timberlake for the basketball season. Vlie drew lots and 'l'hurlie drew the lucky stick and therefore became our head-cheerleader. The tedious job of practicing became a daily diet for the first cheerleaders. Vte progressed rapidly under the direction of Miss Evans. 'l'he season went smoothly and we were quite successful. However, we weren't as fortunate with the basketball season. We lost our head-cheerleader, but the others carried on courageously with Norrice taking over as 'head'. The baseball season finds us with a group of three for baseball and three for softball. Natalie, Bernice and 'l'hurlie for baseball with the latter as head-cheer- leader. Hope, Wilma and jean lillis for softball, the latter as 'head'. KKK-'ve had a lot of fun, and l am sure that everyone of us will have many happy memories of this successful year. Thurlie Starbird'48 Girls' Basketball Team f Standing, left to rightg Nr.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL The girls' basketball season started out with a loss to New Gloucester on their court. At the home game with New Gloucester our girls really showed teamwork. The three guards did an especially excellent job at holding the oppos- ing forwards scoreless in the last quarter, while our forwards made enough bas- kets to tie the score 23-23. The second game of the season was at Mexico where we lost, but in the home game we tripped them up 37-16. XVinthrop won against us at Winthrop. VVe rallied on the return game and tied with them by the same score that we tied with New Gloucester. Our streak of losses turned when we went on to win against Mechanic Falls, XYoodstock, Bridgton, and our second game against Mechanic Falls. We dropped one to XYoodstock by a very close score, following a mix-up on the team. But we rallied and ended the season by beating Bridgton 27 -11. Our two games against the alumnae were both won by us. In fact, our forwards got 50 points in the second game. The alumnae team suffered from a lack of players, having to borrow some from us. We had intra-mural games after the season was over. Everyone was eligib'e who wanted to play. Nat Angell captained the Hotdogs, Phil Nickerson led the Spitfires, Myrt Bisbee, the Roughnecks, and Thurlie Starbird, the Whites. It was a lot of fun and we all had a swell time. The Hotdogs were declared school champions. This year's letter girls were: Myrtle Bisbee, Cap: Thurlie Starbirdg Natalie Angell, Phyllis Nickersong Roberta Grant: Vera Gould, Marlene Peare, Helen Bradfordg Nancy Cunninghamg Terry Grantg and Bertha Pulsifer, Manager. Others who played but who did not have enough games to get a letter were: Lillian Nickerson, Edith Pulsifer, Rosalea Sennett, and Barbara Genthner. The letters were awarded at a banquet after the season was over. The long tables in the dormitory dining room were festively arrayed with green and white streamers. The Home Ec girls served a delicious meal. Mr. Fraser's jokes as toastmaster were enjoyed by all. Miss Polley gave a speechg then Mr. Cunningham awarded the letters. Mr. Dyer awarded the boys' letters. VVe danced in the Reception Room for a while afterwards and then went home. The girls had a good time all year and we en- joyed working together even though the going was not always smooth. We are sorry to lose so many good players at graduation.

As usual they kept dropping out so that when the time for the first game rolled around, the squad consisted of eleven meng Leighton Purkis, Bill Rodriguez, Gerald Pulsifer, George White, Durwood Gilbert, Leigh Lancaster, Pete Shaw, Roger Conant, Richard Angell, Richard Rollins, and Carl Matthews. George White was elected Captain, Robert Sennett, managerg and George Ricker, assistant Manager. The team had an excellent season winning eight out of the twelve scheduled games. This was Mr. Dyer's first year as a basketball coach and I think everyone will agree that he did a good job. The first game was at New Gloucester on December 2. The boys started the season off right with a 32-20 win. Pulsifer was high scorer with sixteen points. Our next game was at Winthrop. This was a fast and exciting one. The score was tied with less than a minute to play, but then Winthrop made a basket so the final score was 22-20 in their favor. A week later we went to Mexico and played another close, exciting game. This time our boys were ahead by the same 22-20 score when the clock ran out. In this game Pulsifer scored eleven points and Rodriguez 10. After Christmas vacation we played two home games. First was a return game with New Gloucester. This time the boys were really hot . They set the visitors down 51-17. Pulsifer was high scorer again with 23 points. Next was a hard fought game with Mechanic Falls. Again the Boys in Green and White came through. This time by a score of 28-21. The less said about the next game the better. We traveled to Woodstock where the boys lost 34-29 and I'm sure anyone who saw the game knows why. The next game was played at Bridgton Academy. This was a good clean game, about the best of the season. The Leavitt boys won 40-35. Next we travelled to Mechanic Falls where the boys slipped a little. The final score was Mechanic Falls, 51- Leavitt Institute, 32. The last four on our schedule were home games. The first team to come here was Woodstock. This time we turned the tables on them and Leavitt won by a close 37-36 score. Next Winthrop came here and they made it two straight over us. This time by a 41-24 score. The next game was with Mexico. Leavitt came from behind in the fourth period to win 35-32. Our last regular game was with Bridgton Academy. Bill and jerry each got nine points to lead the boys in Green and White to a 29-24 victory. Soon after this last game the boys entered a tournament at the Auburn Y.M.C.A. In the first round the boys played the Rumford Aristocrats and beat them 43-14. Leavitt didn't fare so well in the second round. They were eliminated by the Lisbon Falls Independents 50-38. This wound up the basketball season with the exception of the interclass games. No lettermen were allowed to play in these this year, so they coached and refereed. This handicapped the upperclassmen to some extent of course. Gilbert had to play for the juniors though to give them a full team. The Sophomores and juniors beat the Freshmen and Seniors respectively in the first round. In the final game the Sophomores heat the juniors and became school champions This was the end of a very successful basketball season. G.R.

Seated left to right, Joe Enos, Leigh Lancaster, Gerald Pulsifer, Durwood Gilbert, George White. FOOTBALL As usual the sports season at Leavitt started with football. Mr. Fraser issued the call on the second day of school last fall. VVe had the following lettermen left over from last year: joe Enos, Leighton Purkis, Dort Bigg, Durwood Gilbert and Lawrence Russell. Thc boys had a very successful season, winning four out of five games. The first game was at Monmouth. Leavitt won by the impressive score of 33-7. The second game was played at home with Mechanic Falls. It was another win for Leavitt. This time by a score of 32-8. Next Bridgton Academy came here for a non-league game. Again the boys in Green and White came out on top by a score of 31-6. The boys went to Buckfield for the next game. They were really 'hot' that day and there was nothing the Buckfield boys could do to stop them. The final score was Leavitt 46, Buckfield 0. The last game was a very close and exciting one with Bridgton High School. The boys did their best, but it wasn't quite enough and we lost 25-24.

TRACK Last fall Mr. Cunningham issued call for cross country runners. Several boys came out for the first race which was at Lisbon Falls. Captain john Enos came in first and David johnson third, but Leavitt lost by a close score of 26-29. Our second race was with Lisbon here. Vl'e had some new runners for this race including Gerald Pulsifer, who turned out to be our fastest man. Pulsifer placed first and John Ellis third to lead Leavitt to a 24-31 victory. The last race was with Canton High School. Pulsifer placed second against very fast competition. Beckler was the second Leavitt man across. Our boys lost the race by a narrow margin, but made a very good showing against one of the fastest teams in this area. Capt. john Enos, johnson and Ellis ran in all three races and are the boys who are most responsible for the team's success. Pulsifer and Bigg each ran in two races and the following each ran once:R. Beckler, M. Moore, E. Moore, R. Timberlake, R. VVills, VV. Timberlake, L. Lancaster, and G. XVhite. Leighton Purkis was manager of the team. This was the first cross country team Leavitt has had for six years. lt made a good showing this year and we hope that Leavitt will continue to have cross country in years ro come.

Science Agriculture English History Math. Chemistry i 1 ll 1 1 LITTLE WILLIE Little Willie hung his sister, She was dead before we missed her. Willie's always up to tricks. Aint' he cute? He's only six. Willie and two other brats, Licked up all the Rough on Rats . Father said, when mother cried, Never mind, they'll die outside. lk 1 ll i Q WHAT WE LEARNED THIS YEAR The equator is a menagerie lion running around the earth. To germinate is to become a naturalized German. Milton was a blind poet who wrote Paradise Lost , when his wife died he wrote Paradise Found . The laws of the U. S. do not allow a man but one wife: this is called a monotony. The Boar War was when Louis XIV hunted a wild pig. The chief three races of men are sprints, hurdles, and long distance. The American government decided to put all the Indians in reservoirs. Arabia gave us the dismal system, which we still use in counting. A litre is a lot of newborn puppies. Nitrogen is not found in a free state. It has been discovered in England, but not in Ireland. 4 4- is 4 is OPTIONAL A grave digger was hard at work. At each shovelful he became more absorbed in his thoughts and before he knew it, he had dug the grave so deep he couldn't get out. Came night, and with the evening chill his predicament became more and more uncomfortable. He shouted for help and finally attracted the attention of a drunk. Get me out of here , he shouted, I'm cold . The drunk looked in the grave and started to kick dirt in the hole. No wonder, he said, they forgot to cover you up . 4 in is is if PAGE EIVIILY POST A boy and his mother stood looking at a dentist's showcase. If I had to have false teeth, Mother, I'd take that pair , said the small boy, pointing. Hush, james, interrupted the mother quickly, shaking his arm, Haven't I told you it's bad manners to pick your teeth in public? What are the chances of my recovering, doctor? asked the bed-ridden man. One hundred per cent, the physician reassured him. Medical records show that nine out of every ten die of the disease you have. Yours is the tenth case l've treated: all the others died. You're bound to get well. i l i ll i BUT HE LEARNED FAST A farmer wagered ten dollars that he could ride the fly-wheel in a saw mill. As his widow paid the bet she remarked: Henry was a good husband, but he didn't know much about fly-wheels. ll il 1 li ll Critic: It strikes me as being an impressive statue, yet isn't that rather an odd posture for a general to assume? Sculptor: Well, it isn't my fault. You see I had the work half completed when when the committee decided they couldn t afford a horse for the general. 0 Q Q Q n jimmy: I always keep both hands on the steering wheel. Nat : Well, I'm right here in case you need a handkerchief. ll 4 t. ll i Satch: Hey! You look sick. What happened to you? Leigh: Last night I dreamed I was eating shredded wheat and when I woke up this morning most of my mattress was gone. Miss Polley: Do you ever let a man kiss you when you're out driving with him? Miss Evans: I should say not! If a man can safely drive while kissing me, he's not giving the kiss the attention he should. i xnxx: Two men finished their drinks at the tavern, said good-bye to their friends, and began the forty mile drive to the city. After a while one of them observed, We're getting closer to town. What makes you think so ? answered the other. Well, reasoned the first, we're hitting more people . W HF 1 Y 1 Stubby: I saw you the other day at the corner of Main and Lisbon, winking at the girls. Lawrence: I wasn't winking. That's a windy corner. Something got in my eye. Stubby: She got in your car too. ill ll! Ill Ill ll Three slightly deaf men were motoring from London in an old nosiy car, and hearing was difficult. As they were nearing a city, one asked, Is this Wembley? No , replied the second, this is Thursday. So am I , put in the third. Let's stop and have tea . Leighton Purkis 48 ZISS 0116 Tune of Let Me Call You Sweetheart Verse I We are thinking just today of dear L. I. The four years that we've spent here, flew quickly by. All our hopes and all our dreams, All our plans and all our schemes All our yearnings, so it seems Have come true. Chorus Goodbye, dear Leavitt Now we say farewell. We are going to miss you More than tongues can tell Parents, friends, and teachers That we love so well. Good-bye, dear Leavitt Now we say farewell. Verse II Our school days are over here, they're in the past The goal that we've been striving for is here at last We hate to part, yes, every one When we think of all the fun And the many friends we've won At dear L.I. Leighton Purkis 48 lThere is no title for the following poem. It was written for the anmversaryl Today there is rejoicing in the valley, This fair Nezinscot valley beautiful Its buttercup-starred meadows and The soft caressing breezes from the hills. Today a special class goes forth from Leavitt The fiftieth one to say its fond farewell. And looking at those viant youthful faces Old memories stir, and weave a magic spell? Memories of another june, and laughter, The petals of the roses drifting down Another class, the first to go from Leavitt. The first to share its honors and renown. The first to lead the way, the pioneers, And since, through fifty years of sun and ram, IA half a century! O, no, it cannot bell For when did youth's footsteps begin to falter And leave us, lonely, marching on again. But whether to the east or west they wandered They sought the best and gave it back again In character, in friendship, service rendered, Like benedictions on the hearts of men. Integrity has been their watchword ever Strive for the best, the motto that they hear. And every class has felt this silent message On the soft, unbroken rhythm of the air. Always the best to do one's duty bravely' To keep the faith, and never count the cost And these shall be returned in fullest measure The worthwhile things of life cannot be lost. And thus we see the wisdom of our teachers, To them we pay high tribute, and the dear Fond thoughts of them are like unspoken blessings A fragrance drifting onward through the years. Today the fiftieth class has gone from Leavitt Both tears and laughter mingled with their song Their happy carefree high school days are ended, But with high and steadfast hearts they'll carry on And so we'll say goodbye, our day is over Goodbye we'll say, for just another year, God gives us memories of june and roses That life for December cannot be too dear.
