To-morrow We shall start out upon a herethereto untraversed path. It is dark and dangerous, but we have no fear. Our high school career has raised certain standards within us: to work, to have ideals, and to be considerate of others. This we have learned and this shall be our mainstay: that success is more an application to duty in a conscientious manner than it is the result of genius. We are young, healthy, full of initiative, eager to take our part in the World's affairs, and confident of our own ability with the assurance that goes with youth alone. VVe are not sorry we are graduating, dear and unforgetful though our school days have been. XVe are proud and happy to receive our diplomas and feel that we deserve them. After all, it is no little accom- plishment to graduate from high school for we must go through that restless, roving age that cries for independence and freedom from dis- cipline. VVe have a right to be proud. Following in the footsteps of others, we will win out for success is bound to come when failure is not recognized. -JOHN DRISCOLL. vs? 'Yo Cfilfie qolfy offooleing Qlack Wlhen l.ot fled from Sodom with his Wife and family, he left every- thing that had meant life and home and friends behind hi'm. You remember orders were that none of the party was to look back at the burning city while making their escape, I.ot's wife looked back, and they say she is still standing there, looking back toward the direction where the city once stood. ' It makes little difference whether this story is literally true or not. For it is certainly fundamentally true. He who is escaping from the past and looks back must pay the penalty. VVe seniors are leaving the past behind usg that is, as far as our school days are concerned. Remember then, Oh Seniors, if you look back-back on your school days at Jordan High, you must be ready to pay for ite-pay for it with heartaches and longing, pay for it with regret that it is no-w too late to do all the things you might have done-things you would do if you but had the opportunity over again, pay for it with the sad memory that there were so many times when you might have lent a helping hand or a comforting word when you did notg might have made a naime that would have been an honor, not to yourself, but to your schoolg and so many other might-have-beens. But now you must pay with the full realization that: Of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these, 'It might have been', 6 JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL FOLIO But there is another side to this business of looking back. There is a joy in it also, a joy in looking back on the happy days spent in school. VVhat matter if they return no more? y There is an inspiration in it, for what could be more inspiring than love for an honored school. Great things have been accomplished on memory. Abraham Lincoln, our greatest American, said that all he was and all he hoped to be, he owed to the memory of his beloved mother. So we, in no small measure, owe all that there is in us that is worth while and all that we may hope to be to our Alma Mater, Jordan High. And although we know it is folly to look back, we will hold the memory of our high school days, not as a weight from the past, but as a beacon and an inspiration for the future. Oh do not say 'tis folly, 'Tis folly to remember All the good old days forever gone, When all the world was jolly In May or in September- Fond Memory still keeps them living on. -LEONORA A. FERGUSON. vsfH!4?N2 ffifioughts on graduation Today is the end of our happy school days. NVe are starting out in different directions on our special errand. ' Our school has given to us during our last four years the best that it possessed. It has given us a school spirit that shall last through all time. As we go on in life we shall never forget the examples set by our instructors through their hard work for us. Wle will remember always with pride that We are graduates of Jordan High School. That our deeds and actions in the future will have an influence on our school, we realize, though we may be miles away. Therefore, we must always try to act so that Jordan High will be proud to claim us as Alumni. ' To the underclassmen, we wish to say that we know you will main- tain your school spirit in every way possible. You do not realize until you are on the threshold of Graduation what your school really means to you. To our teachers, we wish to say that we thank them for their co- operation during our four years. They have been most kind to us. VVe will try to follow the good example they have set. -GRACE M. BARRETT. mf llnf'fl C9ur quture Qrospects This is about the time of year when a large number of people begin to wo1'ry about that unknown, mysterious stranger called the future. Students graduating from high school and college are especially down- cast over this baleful subject. JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL FOLIO 7 NVhat am I going to do? XVhat am I going to be? How am I going to do it? Qlf l know what I'm going to do.j These are only three of the hundreds of perplexing questions that confront us. For four years we have been wholly absorbed in our school: studies, sports, social events. XVe havenyt had time or occasion to think of what comes after. XVhen we are freshmen, we can't even imagine there being such a question to settle. But today we are seniors. Tomorrow we will be one of that vast order of alumni, who have their way to 'make in the world. And so we face that question: Vwlhat are we going to do? Some of us are going to settle down comfortably to four years more of happy, care-free student days. But a good many of us are on the brink of the great unknown. The most that we can say is that we will do our best in whatever line we take upg that we will go steadily to the top even as we have done in Jordan I-Iighg that the mediocre, middle-rate things are too low for us. VVe are going to climb. But-we are only on the first rung of that ladder now. If we look down we see how close to the bottom we are and we get discouraged. If we look up, we wonder where this ladder is leading us. VVe must just strike blindly forward watching each rung closely as we pass itg so that we will not stumble and fall to the bottom again. And here's hoping that we will become absorbed in this taskg that we will suddenly wake up to the fact that We have reached the top. -HELEN O. DAVIS. ek.f'!QqfNa ,An Editorial on .Royalty VVhat is loyalty? XVell the best way to find out is to consult a dictionary. Vkfebster tells us that loyalty means fidelity, devotion, con- stancy, and faithfulness. Those are his four definitions or synonyms. Therefore we get the idea that if we are devoted, constant, and faithful in all the things we do, We will be loyal. But don't you think loyalty is a deeper, a greater thing? We are not always loyal. No we may think we are, but after all is said and done we are not. There is of course the one person to Whom we are all devoted. Our mothers! But are we always loyal to her? Haven't there been times in our lives when we have gone against her wishes, when we have hurt her feelings in some way or other? Then we may say we are loyal to our school, but as in the case of our mothers, there are times when more than once in our four years We have been rather wavering in our devotion. VVhen we have thought, No I won't go to that game, we are sure to be beaten, or, No I'd lots rather go to the pictures than to that entertainment that the school is giving? Or possibly some stranger may ask us about our school. Do we always say, Our school is the best! Aren't we apt to say soimething ever so insignificant, but nevertheless just enough so that person will know we aren't true blue? ' So let us strive in our years to come, to be loyal in every single thing we do, whether it be playing a game, or doing something else. -MARTHA R- BRIGGS- VV'e will find that in the end it pays. 2? Qarincynal john qiutlerjl M me 691355 ofI9 6 BANIULIS, JOHN JOSEPH Rags College Course Frye Grammar School. Still water runs deep. John is another one of the quiet until you know him typcs. We think that some day he will be one of the big real estate owners of Lewiston. At any rate his favorite word is lot, University of Maine will see him next year. BARNES, CARL EDMUND General 'Course Frye Grammar School. ' Say 'it with test tubes. Science Club 141g Student Aid in Mathematics 141: Math Club 13-453 Vice-president Slide Rule Club 14Jg Chemlstry Assistant 145. You want to see Barnes? Well, go upstairs, he's in the chemistry laboratory. And, surely enough, after you have gone up the worn steps of Jordan High, you found Barnes, l10t with pretty girls as is usual with males of Jordan High, but with Test-Tubes. Next year at Bates, you will be answered Barnes is over at the chemistry Laboratory. Still at it, you'll think. Our prophet, think Rowe, just told me that he sees himself ten years hcnce being answered while visiting the Bureau of Standards, Barnes is over at the Chemistry Department. BARRETT, GRACE MARY General Course Frye Grammar School. Think much, say little. Booster Staff 1455 Folio Staff 1415 Press Club 1495 French Club 1433 Senior Play 1433 Dramatics Club 1415 National Honor Society. This motto applies especially well to Grace for she is one of our quieter girls. But that doesn't mean that she is never in things, for quite to the contrary, she is a.- ways very busy and active in many school affairs. Didn't you think that she made a wonderful mother for Jack? Grace is going to Dingley Training School next year, so she won't be far away for the next few years. BEDNARZ CAROLINE MARY Commercial Course Wallace Parochial School. Vurie1y is the spice of life. Caroline is one of the quietest as well as one of the smallest young ladies in our class. She is so very quiet, indeed, that few of us have the honor of knowing her very wcll, but those of us who do, you may be sure, are very fond of her, Caroline intends to go to some business col- lege after she graduates from Jordan High and then she plans to make some firm a good stenographer and typist. BERNIER, BERTI-IA FLORENCE Bert Commercial C. Frye Grammar School. Don't talk with anyone who talks faster than you. Dramatics Club C41. Does Bert like to dance? She certainly does. She is somewhat of a heart breaker, too. But we have an idea there is a lucky man-there we won't tell Bert, Next year she is going to try office work and then... BRIGGS, MARTHA RACKLEY Mart Jerry College C. Frye Grammar School. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Executive Committee 1, 2, 3, 45 Booster 2, 45 Junior- Senior Reception Committee C313 Class-ride Committee 1315 Toast to boys C315 Usher at graduation 4313 Dramat- ic Club 141: Basket Ball Bazaar Committee 1415 Press Club 4413 Senior Play 141. Will any of us ever forget the night of May 24 when Mart proved such a successful leading lady? But this was not all that she took the lead ing during her stay with us we never knew her to refuse to do anything for anyone, a friend to all, and one anyone would be glad to call a friend. Bates is fortunate in having you for the next four years Martha. BOULANGER, RACHEL ROSETTE Rich ' General C. Madison High, Madison. Ask me, I know. And generally Rachel does know, She doesn't look studious but if she isn't, how onearth does she obtain such good marks? We believe you'll continue your good work at U. of M. Rachel. CLARK, HELEN MARGARET Jake, General Course Frye Grammar School. Silence is golden. Dramatic Club 141g Home Economics Club. The two things about Helen Clark that turn us all green with envy are the big dimples she wears in her cheeks. Helen has taken a general course during her high school career and intends to train at Dingley Normal School next year. We are sure that the youngsters she teaches will love to see that dimpling smile before them. She is a good sport and a cheerful worker, and all her classmates Wish her the best of luck. COFFEY, MARGUERITE ELIZABETH Commercial Course Frye Grammar School. Smile and the world smiles with you. This space seems so small that we can not tell halt' of Marguerite's good qualities. To say that some of the Seniors depend on her knowledge of shorthand is putting it mildly. She is always so good-natured that we can readily see why she chose her motto. She plans on doing ofllce work after graduation and we know she will be a success. COLLINS, LEONARD HERBERT Axle . General Course Frye Grammar School. O, I love red hair. What young men will wear this season fits Leonard exactly. Then again he is quite a stepper, though to no credit of his, any of us, could be if we had his opportunity. Oh, to dance the 'Virginia' reel! is his cry. Leonard doesn't know what he will do, yet. COSTELLO, MARY MARGARET Peggy , Murf. College Course Frye Grammar School. ' All's well that ends well, but some things miner seem to end. Mandolin Club 11-2-3-1, Dramatic Club 1413 Booster Staff 11-2-413 Outing Club 1115 French Club 1415 Press Club 141. Margaret is the ardent supporter of the Thorne's Corner Grange. Margaret didn't forget us for the granger, though she surely was an ardent worker for Jordan High School, too. Peggy hopes to attend Bates in the fall. The best wishes of the class of '26 go with you, Margaret. CRONIN, LOUISE MARGARETE Lou. College Course Frye Grammar School. Y0u'll have to show me. Social Committee 11-213 Secretary 1315 Class Ride Committee 1313 Junior-Senior Reception Committee 1315 Wardrobe Mistress Senior Play-Senior Usher: Dramatic Club 141. Lou needs no introduction to most of you, for if you are at all acquainted with your class you'll know Lou. She's always full of pep and energy. One of her favorite pastimes is chewing gum, which she does very well. Lou's destination is Elmhurst, Providence, R. I. CUTTS, JEANETTE Jennie Al , College Course Germantown Grammar School, Pennsylvania. Play up! Play up and Play the game. Frailty, thy name is woman. Math. Club 1433 French Club 1433 Booster 13-435 Folio 143g Basketball 13-435 Captain 1435 Basketball Bazaar 13-435 Dramatic Club 1439 National Honor Society: Press Club 1433 Mandolin Club 1333 Salutatorian. Jeanette seems to have traveled quite a bit before she finally reached us, and we're glad she came here in time to spend her high school course with us. Jennie is an all-around good sport and one of the few athletes among the girls that our class can boast of. Next year she plans to enter Bates where we know she will take a prominent part in the college life. DAVIS, HELEN OLIVE. College Course Webster Grammar School. A creature she-all life and light and glee. Math Club 1433 Dramatic Club 1433 Booster Staff 143g Folio 1435 Senior Play 143, Press Club 1433 National Honor Society 1433 French Club 1433 Class Prophecy 143. Helen's the girl that set them oft' the night of the Senior Play. Shall we ever get over laughing about the medicine ball, etc.? In school Helen rec.tes in a shy, demure little voice but-everything she says is high A. We're mighty lucky to have had you in our class, Helen. We wonder what you intend to do. 1?3 DESCOTEAUX, ADRIENNE VIOLETTE Commercial C. St. Peter's Parochial School. Silence is golden. Booster staff 143. Adrienne says she is going to do oflice work after graduation. We feel sure that Whoever her employer may be, he will be a very lucky man. Adrienne has taken several prizes for her proficiency as a typist and she is just as smart in her other studies. We have only the highest praise for you, Adrienne, and we know you get such quan- tities of that wherever you go that we consider it sufficient to say you are one of Jordan High's best bets. DONOVAN, FRANCIS JAMES Frank College Course Wallace Parochial. Don't be cltscouragecl, never give np. Booster 1433 Washington 143g Football 1433 Track 1435 Press Club 143. Georgetown University is a long way off, Francis. Frank has helped liven up the routine of high school life with his pranks. Itching powder is not an' unknown quantity to him, as several of the party which went to Washington could tell you. Frank never gets discouraged even when he is facing the toughest of algebra problems. DRISCOLL, JOHN A. R. John D. General Course Wallace Parochial. A little foolishness now and then, is good for even the tciscst of men. Class Orator 1433 Editor-in-chief of Folio 1433 Student Council 13, 433 Associate Editor Booster 1433 Booster Representative Conference U. of M. 1433 Varsity Debating 13, 433 Delta Sigma 13, 433 Spear Prize Speaking Contest, Portland 1433 First prize, High School Division Old Ironsides Essay 1433 Mathematics Club 1433 Dramatic Club 1433 Advanced Science Clllbj President Press Club 1433 National Honor Society 143. Well, John, that is quite a long list and Jordan High is proud of you. Whell its comes to speaking, we will all stand back and give you the floor. John can always be depended upon if there is work to be done. He is a good scholar and well liked by all his fellow-students. What- ever your future holds in store for you, we wish you the best of luck. You live up to your motto, John. So your future is undecided 1?3 ! DUBE, ROSARIO ALFRED General Course Frye Grammar. Don't take life too seriouslyg you never get out of it alive. Mandolin Club 11 and 233 -Orchestra 11 and 233 Hiker's Club 1133 Booster Staff 11 and 233 Joke Editor 1433 Dramatic Club 1433 Press Club 143. Rosario believes in his motto, thoroughly. But he is one of the most misunderstood boys in the senior class, for way down deep there is a seriousness that does not seem like him3 because we are so used to his humor we won't accept seriousness from him. Dube is going to be one of Uncle Sam's Post Oflice clerks. DUMAIS, ANGELA BARBARA College Course St. Joseph's. Eirm'ything ts sufcctcncd by risk. Mathematic Club 13, 433 Dramatic Club 1433 Class Executive committee 1433 Mandolin Club 11, 2, 3, 433 Basket Ball Bazaar Committee. Way back in our freshman year, Angie was a little girl. But my, how she has changed. Now when we see her walk down our corridor she is a tall, dignified senior. Angela is a faithful supporter of all our sports, we wonder why? Is it because she is very fond of Athletics or of an Athlete. We feel that it is the latter. Angela is un- decided as to her future school, but we know whatever school she favors will be a lucky one. DUMAIS, LORENZO A. Zowie. General Course French Academy. S1nilcs are Trumps. Track 1233 Operetta 1433 Class Vocalist 143. We know not whither Zowie will go-we do not mean ultimately, but-to college. We know very well that he would be very successful if he went to Italy. With Zowie's melodious voice and his pleasing smile, he ought to be able to offer John McCormack competition. DUNCAN, MARGARET LOUISE. College Course Frye Grammar Labor omnia 'Uincitf' Dramatic Club 141, Mandolin Club 121. Margaret is the life of the party in school. She is good at reciting, too. When you've been to school with someone for four years, you feel you know her quite well. We don't often flatter anyone, but Margaret. . .! Save some thoughts for us at Bates, next year, Margaret. EGAN, GERTRUDE IRENE Larry Gertie General C. St. Joseph's. Put your heart in what you do. Outing Club 11, 2, 3, 413 Math. Club 1415 Mandolin 11, 2, 3, 413 Booster 1413 Washington Trip 1415 Basketball 13, 415 Basketball Committee 13, 413 Folio 1415 French Club 141g Press Club 1413 Dramatic Club 141. Gertrude intends to be a nurse after graduation and she is going to train at the C. M. G. Hospital. We know Gertie will make a first class nurse for she lives up to her motto. Gertie puts her Whole heart into everything she undertakes. She is conscientious and accomplishes What- ever she puts her hand to. ELLIOTT, JAMES ANDREW Jim , General Course Frye Grammar Strive and Succeed. Jim is one of the tallest fellows in our class. We con- sider that he is a real asset for success. You know look- ing toward the heights and all that. He's going to show them how to strive at the Bentley School n-ext year. Good luck, Jim! FAUCHER, HENRY LEO Commercial Course Frye Grammar School. Do your best and rejoice with those who can do better than you. That fits Leo's generous disposition exactly. He works hard and gives his best to everything he does and never bears a grudge. It dogged perseverance will win anything Leo is bound to come out ahead in life. He intends to be a big commercial success. FERGUSON, ARLENA LEONORA Commercial Course Frye Grammar. The world is better for everyone who is living at his best. Head Mistress Faculty Dinner 1195 Booster 11, 2, 3, 495 Wardrobe Mistress Senior Play 1495 Debating 1395 Secretary of Press Club 1495 Delta Sigma 13-495 Associate Editor lfolio 1495 Editor-in-chief Booster 1495 Committee for Presentation of Gifts 1495 French Club 1495 Dramatic Club 1495 U. of M. Convention 1495 Honor Part 1495 National Honor 149. Writer, poetess, philosopher-that is Leonora. Her name means Light and she holds a light to most of us. She edited our Booster this year. We never read any poetry by her, but she has a poet's mind, expressions, and ideas, so we feel she 'must write some when she's alone. Her philosophy is really deep and astounding-somewhat mystifying. We could fill a page about Leonora, but it won't be printed, so what's the use? FITZ, RUSSELL A. RUSS, Fitzie College C0ul'Se Frye Grammar. Knowledge is power. Baseball 13, 495 Track 13, 495 Football 1495 Commit- tee 11, 2, 395 Folio Staff 1495 L Club5 Math Club 1495 French Club 1495 Class Will 149. Russell is our child prodigy. How he could ever be in athletics and at the head of his classes and remain popular with the Hdeadlier if the species, is more than we can ever understand. We'1l all be proud to say, some day: See that fellow? He's my cousin. He's going to be at the head of his class in college, which ever it is. FOGG, MILDRED General Course Frye Grammar. Smile a while. Mandolin Club 11, 2, 395 Secretary 1395 Dramatic Club 1495 Washington Trip 11-495 Booster Staff 129. Mildred surely does live up to her motto. In fact we might say smiling is one of her best points. She surely likes Edward Little even though she has kept us company for four years. We all hope you don't forget us at Kent's Hill, Mildred. FOURNIER, BERTRAND E. G. Bert Commercial C. Frye Grammar. Never tire in a race. L Club5 Football Team 1395 Track Team, 3, 49: Relay Team 13, 495 Captain Hockey Team 149. Bert has one favorite study and it is shorthand. But even for that he does not believe in studying. Athletics are his specialty and he is an all round athlete. We ex- pect he will keep up his good work for Bliss College next fall. FRASER, WILLIAM M. Bill, General Course Frye Grammar. Say it with Flowers. Second prize winner in State of Maine American Chemical Society Contest 135. If you are wondering why Bill chose Say it with Flowers for a motto, just be informed that he plans to take up floral and landscape work when he finishes school. We scarcely expected that of Bill, but with some people you can never tell. Two years ago he won second prize in a state-Wide contest, and made us very proud of himg and we haven't got over it yet. FULLER, ISABELLE ABBIE Izzy, Belle College C. Frye Grammar. Trust in God, all others cash. Mathematics Club 13 and 455 National Honor Society. When you lirst meet Issy, she seems quite the oppo- site of what she really is. She seems quiet and reserved, but after you really know her there is no better sport and one who likes a good time anywhere. Issy plans to go to some Art School, and we feel that some day she will be a great artist. GEARY, HELEN GERTRUDE College Course St. Joseph's Laugh and the world laughs with you Weep and you weep alone. Mandolin Club 11, 2, 3, 45 5 Librarian 1253 Leader 1355 Basketball Bazaar Committee 13-453 Press Club 1455 Vice Presidentg Minstrel Show 1355 Junior Usher Com- mittee 1355 Booster 12, 3, 453 Dramatic Club 1455 Presidentg French Club 1455 Folio 1455 President of Girls A. A. 1455 National Honor Society 145. That's right, Helen, but then, we always knew you could laugh. Whenever a group of girls begin to giggle and Helen is there, you may be sure something really witty has been said. She is going to continue studying 1?5 at Bates, next year, lots of luck, Helen. HAMEL, LAURETTA JEANNETTE Commercial Course Frye Grammar. Fm small I know, but whe1'e'e1' I go, they sit up and take notice, nevertheless. When we graduated from grammar school, Lauretta led the line because she was the smallest in the class. This June she will be the last in the line because she is still the smallest. Lauretta may be small, but as her motto declares, she does make people sit up and take notice when she comes around, for she is just bubbling over with fun and life. Lauretta is going into oiiice work after June 25, and a snappy little stenographer she will make, we'll say. HARKINS, HELEN ANNA Byrnes College Course St. Joseph's Parochial. He who laughs jirst swallows all the joy. Even though she does choose a motto like that Helen never does laugh Iirst because she wants others to share in the joy. She's so quiet and innocent 1?3 that we some- times think she is at the bottom of things that seem to have no beginning. Helen has not yet decided upon her future course. HARTFORD, ORVILLE EDWARD Static General C. Business before pleasure. Booster 12, 3, 433 Math Club 13-435 Science Club 1433 President Slide Rule Club 1435 School Electrician and Mechanic 11, 2, 3, 433 Student Aid in Math. 143. Crash-r-r-squeak-w-wow-b-r-wow-crash-sh-sh. . What is that noise? you asked. Why, it's Hartford, our radio expert, telling Pelletier about the static last night. Or- ville knows his trade well, but is going to Northeastern to learn a little more. For example, how to keep clocks run- ning after he fixes them, or how to get the most out of a school. HAYES, KATHERINE ARLENE General Course Wallace Parochial. Smiles are Trumps. Kathie really believes that because she is always smiling and is so quiet that it hardly seems as tho she is in the room. Or it is Kathie, help me with this will you, I can't get it and I know you can, so Kathie obliges and soon the lesson is done. Perhaps this is only a beginning because Katherine plans to teach the Kiddies their A. B. C's. Here's luck to you, Katherine, at Dingley's. HELDMAN, LLOYD AUGUST Shrimp Coach General Course Frye Grammar. If you czm't be good, be careful. Basketball Manager 1433 Booster Staff 12, 3, 433 Mathematic Club 1435 Press Club 1435 Senior Play 1435 Operetta 1435 Lheer-leader 13, 433 Dramatic Club 143g National Honor Society. The space is entirely too small to say everything that could be said about Shrimp Heldman. Just look at his picture you'd know that he is full of it. For the past four ytars he has made life enjoyable for us all in the class- room. But once in a while he can be serious and in all seriousness he says that he is going to the Bentley School of Accounting and Finance. HIGGINS, CATHERINE LOUISE Kitty Commercial C. Frye Grammar. Life is too short to be sad. - Kitty is one of the few girls of our class who have still long tresses. She is very quiet in class but alone- can she talk? She can and does. She is a wizard at stenography and there would certainly be an earthquake if she should ever fail. We know you are fine, Kitty, and we are going to miss you a lot when you enter the business world next year. HIGGINS, GERALD T. Jud General Course Frye Grammar We are not sent into this world to do anything into which we cannot put our hearts. If you have not heard Jud play on his drums, you do not know what real music is, yetg at least, what real drum playing is. Jud has been in Jordan High School with us since we were Freshmen all anxious to leave. Next Fall he will enter New Hampshire State University as a Fresh- man, and a fine Freshman he will make, too. HURLEY, C. EDWARD Bob General Course Frye Grammar. Perseverence Oonquersf' Track 62, 3, 415 Manager 141. Bob is one of our quiet lads-until you know him, and then you wait for him to speak. When he does it is no idle patter-it means something. Can he run? No, he flies! His future is undecided. . JOHNSON, LAURA CHRISTINE Johnnie. Commercial C. Frye Grammar School. Be yourself. When we asked Laura why she was called Johnnie she didn't know, but Mary Rowbotham's giggle betrayed her. We won't give her away-oh, no, but we will admit that it has something to do with her future, which, by the way she said was still undecided. Oh, Laura! KELLEY, TERRENCE J. Terry General Course Frye Grammar Women are the soureelof all evil. Terry is one of our best jokers-not that his mirth is at all forced. He seems to enjoy a good laugh even if the joke is on himself. But we think it's a shame to have that ocean wave wasted on a fellow. We hope Terry succeeds as well in Bentley School of Business as he has in his French IV C. KENNEY, OLIVIA MARGARET Frenchie . Commercial C. Wallace Parochial . Never trouble trouble until trouble troubles you. Glee Club 4495 Operetta C433 Washington Trip 1453 Folio Typist 141. Olivia, our fun maker, we sometimes wonder if you will ever grow up? If growing up will change you, we would rather keep you as our Frenchie. You have certain- ly lived up to your motto during your course at High. We feel that you will surely entertain some office next year, as you have entertained us. KINGSTON, HENRY WILFRED General Course Frye Grammar. Fm as sober as a judge. h Kingston, keep quiet. That's what comes to our minds when we think of Henry. How many times we've heard that, especially in Problems of Democracy class where he settled to his own satisfaction all of the problems of the world for some time to come. He will settle all of the U. of M.'s problems in the next four years. KNOWLES, BEATRICE Beattie Commercial Course Frye Grammar Never put 017 until' to-morrow what you can do to-day. Beatie, what shall we say? During our four years in High School we never really seemed to get acquainted with you. When we think of you, we see a quiet girl, and a faithful worker. Well Beatle our best wishes go along with you into that lucky business man's oflice next year. LAGUEUX, IRENE GLNETTE General Course St. Peter's Parochial. Never blush. Glee Club 1413 Mandolin Club, accompanist-assistant leader 13, 413 J. H. S. Minstrel Show 1313 Operetta 1413 Junior Ride 1313 Washington Trip 1413 Folio Staff 141. Irene has had a busy two years certainly and she has had plenty of attention so we hope she hasn't been lone- some. She is such a busy person, yet she always iinds time for everything. She intends to take up oflice work after graduation. Maybe it will be for the Gray Circuit, who knows? LAMEY, GERTRUDE ANN Gert General Course St. Joseph's. Laugh and the world laughs with you. Press Club 1413 Booster Typist 1413 Folio Typist 1413 Washington Trip 141. The life of our class is Gert. She always sees the joke even if it's on herself. That's a gift, Gert. Dingley Training is to be honored by her presence next fall and then some boys and girls will like school better. Gert is also a iirst-rate typist and stenographer. LAMONTAGNE, FLORENCE GERTRUDE Commercial C. Wallace Parochial. Let your conscience be your guide. Hikers Club 11, 215 Minstrel Show 1313 Athletic Association 11, 2, 3, 413 Dramatic Club 1413 Mandolin Club 111. When we think of Red we think of well, never mind... we don't tell tales out of school. Red, you'll have to admit that you liked our Hall better than any- thing else in the school. Red plans to go to Farmington Normal next year. Whatever you do Red- Success be yours. LAURENDEAU, EMILE R. Commercial Course French Parochial Academy. Perhaps I cxn't do everything, but I can do Lookkeepingf' We agree with you there, Emile, you surely can do bookkeeping. You always get your work done first, and correctly, which is saying considerably more. Emile, you are so reserved and mature, but we know you are a good sport, and that you will make a splendid addition to some- bocly's office force. ORLANDINI, JAMES EDWARD Sheriff General Course Wallace Grammar. Don't make excuses, -- make good. Football 149. Talking about ye pretty hair, Jim is certainly envied by all the boys in the class. Every day you can see groups of girls asking Jim for one of his curls, and boys asking him how he does it. Don't tell 'em Jim, keep 'em guessing. Jim will either be a good policeman or a fire politician after he has been trained at Bentley's-for you know that training in Finance comes in handy for a politician. OSGOOD, DOROTHY FRANCES 'Dot Dorfrea College C. Frye Grammar Talk a lot, lut not too much. Debating 13-493 Booster 13-49: Press Club 1493 Dramatic Club 1495 National Honor Society. Dorothy is a genius unsung. She always was on the wrong si.le of fortune, it seemed, but still she would work willingly and well. She can talk time-and-a-half-anlover- time and is a fine debater. She's a great pal to work with when you know her and her sense of humor is de- lightful. We expect she will be a famous writer some day. She certainly has the ability. She'll show them at Bates. PELLETIER, ANTHONY DAMAS JOSEPH Pell, Sl1tz, Pelkey, Ant College Course Frye Grammar We all grow oldg but who grows wise? Booster 1493 Math Club 13, 49g Pres.

Pelletier is very well acquainted with that canned noise sold by Henry Ford. In fact, any day your what remains-of-a-Ford fails to wake up the whole city, Pell will jazz it up for you. He is very modest about his abili- ties. He just said the other day that he would go to M. I. T before having a conference with Henery about making Fords that run without a steering wheel-a convenience for spooners. PELLETIER, GERMAINE MARION General Course St. Peter's Parochial. Smiling is the best policy. Folio Typist 1493 Washington Trip 1493 3rd Honor Part 149. That is a good motto, Germaine, and we know you live up to it. We only wish her two years with us had been four. It will be a lucky office that employs her after graduation. Besides being an expert typist and stenog- rapher she has the pleasantest disposition imaginable. MARSHALL, MARGARET MARY Peanut College C. St. Joseph's Be good, but 'not too good, for the good die young. Mathematics Club 13, 415 Dramatic Club 141 3 Mandolin Club 11, 213 Senior Reception Committee 131. Margaret is one of the smallest ones in our class, but perhaps the peppiest one. Margaret, if having fun is what you mean by not being good we feel that you will live to a good old age. After you graduate from Dingley and go teaching don't be too strict. Remember the fun you had yourself. MATTHEWS, EDGAR ANTHONY Matty College Course St. Joseph's Parochial. Never walk -when you crm ride.

It is a great world, if you flon't fzocalcenf' Mandolin 111, leader 13, 415 Track 131, Captain 1412 Relay 131, Captain 141. Harry is one of those happy-go-lucky fellows who d.oesn't seem to have a care in the world. Harry has dis- tinguished himself while at high school in track, where he has shown us what an excellent runner he is. He says that he may go to U. of M. and study to be a civil engineer. We certainly wish you the best of luck and success, Harry. MERRILL, EDITH LOUISE Edie Commercial Course McFalls Grammar. For the one worth while is the one 1171.0 will smile when everything goes dead -wrong. Way back when we were Freshmen Edith came from Mechanic Falls and entered Jordan High with us. She had long golden curls then, can you imagine that? Now she is leaving with the rest of us having completed the Commercial Course. Edie plans to enter some good man's ofiice and type all his letters for him. MESERVEY EMMA Em College Course Frye Grammar Anything worth doing at all, is worth doing well.

Emma. has surely lived up to her motto during her course at Jordan High, and, in fact, everything that she ever has undertaken. Whenever we needed anything done we always chose Emma because we knew it would be done and done well. Bates is fortunate in having you for the next four years, Emma. MORENCY, J. EDWARD Ed General Course Assumption College, Worcester. Do the best you can and don't worry. Ed is our boy artist. We expect him to take over a cartoonist's position on a large- paper in a few years- regardless of what he says he is going to do. Don't mind that he is modest. He also shows the rest of us how to do physics problems. He is going to a school of business administration. MURPHY, GENEVIEVE GERTRUDE Trudie Gertie General Course St. Peter's Parochial A Better late than never. Still water runs deep -that's Gertrude, a fine scholar and a great companion for she is willing to listen and sel- dom speaks. With her friends she is full of fun and ready with a quick answer. Many a girl might well envy her big brown eyes and black hair which she has not yet bobbed. Some oflice will have her next year. 0'NEIL, LEO FRANCIS Lee Leo 0'Neil College C. Frye Grammar. Vitamines are the spice of life. Secretary 11-433 Vice-President 12-335 Junior-Senior Committee, Junior Class Ride. Here is the classmate who keeps the financial and business end of our class on its feet. Each year he comes with his Thirty cents, please. For the next, four years Leo will train at the U. of M. for his business career. Soon we will hear of the steel magnate O'Neil, or some- thing of that sort. LEPAGE, WILLIAM Bill Willie College Course Frye Grammar School Live and let live. There is a method in his madness. Bill is our class comedian. Humor springs from him like water from a fountain. Here's a secret: he is a cynic and doesn't hold a high opinion of those who laugh at his jokes so next time don't laugh-we should say try not to laugh because you will anyway. Bill is one of those who will get there. He will probably be a photo-engraver. UHEUREUX, GERMAINE JEANETTE General Course St. Peter's Parochial Ever Onward. Germaine's been with us for only a short time, yet we feel that we know her very well. She's lots of fung and she still gets high rank. In fact you should hear her parly la francais. It's something that pleases the teachers and amazes her fellow classmates. Keep it up at Bates, Germaine! MANNING, WILLIAM Bill General Course Wallace Grammar. Try to show me. You can't tell ME anything, says Bill. And you can't, either, for he reads the papers and can tell you all about anything. Bill easily blushes, and when he does his face is almost the same color as his hair. Best of luck, Bill, whatever you do. MARDOSA, EDWARD P. Ed General Course Wallace Parochial. Perse'uerance to the end. Football C4J. We didn't know Ed was such a good fellow until he went onto the football field. He is one of the best. Foot- ball is his hobby and how he did ride it. His accounting ought to be a success for he always was able to get through the line and bring a quarterback. Don't forget us at Bent- ley, Ed. PENDERGAST, DANIEL PATRICK Dan General C. Wallace Parochial. If one tries hard enough, nothing is denied him. Football Q2-3-435 Baseball Q3-493 Basketball C3-41. Dan, the husky six footer and the bashful boy of our class. We feel that Shakespeare impressed you with those words, Frailty thy name is woman. However there was one place you never were bashful and that was on the football field, and you certainly did do your share for the Blue and White. Dan is undecided as to his future training but with a motto like this, we know he will be successful. PHILLIPS, CHESTER WILLIAM SUEL Sweetie General Course Frye Grammar. Hold nothing as certain save that which can be demon- st1'aterl. Mathematics Club 6455 Science Club C433 Ukelele Club 13, 435 Mandolin Club 1453 Booster 139. Chester is the boy who thought that I. du Pont was not using the right formula in making T. N. T., so he thought he'd experiment and find the correct one. Luckily for some of us, his experiment failed. That's the way Sweetie is all the time, holding as certain, only that which can be demonstrated. That's why Mr. Gagnon knows so much about debatingg he has had plenty of experience with Chester. He goes to U. of M. POIRIER, ROMEO JOSEPH Commercial Course Frye Grammar. Always look for a chance of advancement in whatever work taken up. Manager 1926 Hockey Team What a fine motto. Romeo certainly knows how to pick them iwe mean mottoes.J As regards the other sex, he is very bashful, but he'll get over it if he hasn't already -as we strongly suspect. With a good start next year, he'll soon be managing some oiiice. RAMSAY, MARGARET SHEARER Commercial Course Frye Grammar School. I Still water 'runs sleep. Booster 429. Here is one of our quiet sweet girls. Margaret has an irresistible smile for all. She is beloved by her teach- ers and endears herself to all her classmates.

Yes, Marry, brevity is the soul of wit. You certainly show that by the list of activities that you have partic- ipated in during your four years. We feel that if we were to select a class beauty your snappy eyes and black hair would win you this distinction, but above all your pleasing personality has won us all. Marry, we feel, and know, that you will win your way into the hearts ol! your classmates at Bates next year as you have into ours. ROSS, ELIWOOD FRANKLIN Rossie General Course Frye Grammar.

For the past year she has been doing oflice work at the R. F. Raymond Paper Co. She is also an ac- complished pianist. In fact, she has shone in all her classes and we know she will be a success in whatever she undertakes. ROWE, ARTHUR RAYMOND Chink College Course Frye Grammar Live and Learn!

He's one of the few who got the most out of Jordan High, as far as Scholar- ship is concerned. If Chink is as successful at Bates as he was in Jordan High, he will certainly be able to win the election in the Orient. ROWE, NORMAN E. Pete. College Course Frye Grammar.

He is going to establish a paint factory. After concise scientific ability, he has decided to sell rouge, the red to be collected from his own cheeks 1you see, he blushes so easily when a member of the weaker sex is around.1 All in all, Pete should do a thriving business with the co- eds at Bates when he enters that school in the Fall as a humble Freshman.

She's never hit any of us yet, but that's because she always is on the lookout for us so as to give us a ride, her car is always lilled. How about the cigarette- holders on Hancock Street, Bangor, Fanny? She cannot make up her mind what to do next year. SANSOUCY, JEROME AIME General Course Frye Grammar. Live and let live. Motto Committee. Everything about Jerome is different, even his name. Have you ever noticed? We wonder why he chose the motto he did. Perhaps as a. fair warning. Jerome's sort 'o good looking, you know. He will come back to Jordan High next year to take a post-graduate course, and then he intends to study at Tufts Medical School, and maybe become a doctor. We know he will have lots of patients if he does. SCOTT, ETHEL MEREDITH General Course Frye Grammar. Smiles win. This shy, demure girl has been very quiet during her four years at Jordan High.

SILVERMAN ERNEST Red Commercial Course Lincoln School. E Pluribus Unum- Football 1435 Basketball 13, 435 Captain 143. Red is the fellow who showed his class-mates just what an ideal captain can do with a bunch of willing team mates to win a basketball game.

Beware of Patsy! Remember this warning when, in later life, Patsy shows up at your store. If you do not immediately tell him The Way Out 1By Bradford Peck3 or use another more manly way, he will sell you a building lot in the Pacific, or else an ad in the Afganistan Times, -the paper with two issues. You see, Patsy is a real sales- man and we doubt if B. U. will change him any. SMALL, E. KEITH Smalley General Course Frye Grammar. U Do the best you can and don't worry. Dramatic Club 1435 Senior Play 143. Keith came into the lime light when he took us all by storm with his wonderful acting as Foxey. He made the greatest hit with the girls we think. Spot-lights do a lot in bringing out one's good points. He doesn't mention anything about dramatics in his future life--quite the contrary. He's going to be an automobile salesman. What- ever or wherever you are, our good wishes go with you. SUPOVITZ, REBECCA EVA Becky Commercial C. Frye Grammar. Silence is golden. Becky has many friends at Jordan High, for al- though she is quiet she has a way of making you feel at ease immediately. She is planning to go bo Business Col- lege next fall.

G6Q9Vational fffonor csocietypbb Q l icrreuaiar' ri VALEDICTORY ESSAY C5he qoundation ofC9ur .glfation Emma Meservey If you should enter to-day the Congressional Library in Washington, you would see in a conspicuous place in the main hall a wooden case resem- bling a table, the top of which is covered with bullet proof glass, and around which is an iron rail. Upon closer inspection, you discover that beneath the glass is preserved an interesting-looking document, yellowed by age and show- ing the ravages of time. It is the original draft of the Declaration of Inde- pendence in the handwriting of 'Ihomas Jefferson. There are said to have been three drafts of the declaration, the rough draft, the one submitted to the committee, and finally the one adopted by Congress. It is the rough draft which has found its final resting place in the Library of Congress. That is the document that has meant so much to American people and has pointed the way to a hundred and fifty years of independence. That declaration meant the birth of a new nation dedicated to political and religious freedom. It did not come from any books, historical events, legal researches, or study of various languages, but it did come as the result of a great amount of hard thinking by the leading men of the time, numerous private discussions, and repeated public debates. Everyone had a voice in it. It was not the petition of a few, but of all. It was a declaration stating that these united colonies are, and of a right ought to be free and independent states, a declaration made by patriotic and resolute men. This compact was sealed in blood. By it, democracy was announced as a faith. Daniel Webster made the statement that the Declaration of Independ- ence met dangers and overcame them, had enemies and conquered them, had detractors and abashed them all, had doubting friends but had cleared all doubts away. Now, one hundred and twenty million people contemplate it with love, and the world beholds it and the consequences which have followed, with profound admiration. While the signers of the Declaration were selected men, nevertheless their fame is due to the crisis which they had to meet, rather than to their own merits. 'Ihe valuable thing to be remembered is not so much the man and the event of history, but the sentiment for which the man and the event stand. It is the ideal that remains. 'Ihere are certain qualities which man inherits from nature: common sense, an appreciation of right and justice, and an understanding of common things. These are the qualities that were appealed to in the great truths of the Declaration: that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. 34 JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL FOLIO Governments had hitherto deemed it necessary to hav-e a select class of men of superior knowledge as rulers, and so men were denied the privilege of governing themselves. For the first time in history, a people had struggled for freedom, and had shown that they were capable of governing themselves. Who would have believed that those thirteen colonies, settled in that strip of land along the Atlantic coast, struggling for freedom and independence, would ever be the forty-eight states that now stretch from coast to coast, and the nation richest in resources of any in the world? In 1776, the only republic of importance to be found in the world was Switzerland. Almost all the other nations were monarchies. But to-day monarchies have disappeared as such, and there is either none at all, or they exist only in name. It is true the Mikado still reigns in Japan, but Japan herself is changed and public opinion is heard in Parliament and the press. It is the same with Italy and Britain. The king still reigns in England, but in form only is Great Britain a monarchy, in fact she is a republic. 'Thus our country, vihose birth was a Declaration of Independence, was the first born of many self-governing nations. Classmates: As We are gathered here this afternoon for the last time in our school life, let us reflect upon these exercises and consider together a question upper- most in our minds. What are some of the truths or lessons which we as individuals can carry with us into the future? X I think one of the greatest lessons to be gained from this Declaration is that we should be true to our own ideals and stand by our own convictions. That was how those men succeeded in gaining what they wanted, freedom. In the second place, we should always be brave. How little we know now what difficulties we have to face. Another lesson from Jefferson's immortal document is this: we should learn to decide for ourselves, and not to depend upon others to do our think- ing for us. Classmates-our four years at Jordan High have been four of the hap- piest that we shall ever know, and We wish to express our appreciation to those who have made them so, our parents, our teachers, and our principal. Therefore, with these thoughts in our minds, as we lay aside our books at Jordan High and look toward the future with hope and confidence, we linger for a moment on the threshold, extend forth our hands to each in friendship's clasp, and say, F arewell. ' JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL FOLIO 35 SALUTATORY ESSAY The qdulwark of Gm' .fiberty A Jeanette Cutts Picture with me an old man sitting at his supper at his plantation home in Delaware, eighty miles from Philadelphia, the night of July 3, 1776. Sud- denly there comes a knocking at the door. Rodney opens it to find a messen- ger who has just arrived post-haste from his friend, McKean, one of t.he del- egates from Delaware at the Congress which is in session at Philadelphia. He tells Rodney that affairs are at a standstill there. The middle colonies are deadlocked over the Declaration of Independence. Even Dela.ware's del- egates have divided their votre, one for, and one against. Rodney listens in silence. When the messenger has finished, he gives orders that he be hospitably received, and he himself hurries to the stables. Saddling his horse, he mounts and sets out through the wilderness for Philadelphia, eighty miles away. League after league speeds by. Rodney urges his horse to further effort. Suffering with an incurable cancer of the jaw, it is a wonder that this patriot had the courage and fortitude to go on. All through the long night he rides, his mind in a turmoil, hoping and praying that he will be on time. Faster and faster he speeds until it seems as though his horse will fall under the strain. At last, as moming comes, he begins to reach the outskirts of Philadelphia. His horse, foamy and frothing at the mouth, gallops up to Independence Hall. The hostlers, waiting, help the old man in. Rodney signs his name, and Delaware swings into line as one of the first colonies to vote for Independence! The suspense is over. The waiting delegates go up, sign their names to the document on the table, and the liberty bell peals forth the glad news. All this happened one hundred and fifty years ago, and in recognition of the significance of this most important event in our country's history, there is being celebrated this year all over the United states the sesqui- centennial of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. We are particu- larly happy that our graduation comes at such a time as this, since our program for this afternoon has as its background this famous occurrence. Moreover, we feel highly honored that you, whom we see before us, should compliments us by your presence, this afternoon at these our gradu- ation exercises. You, our parents, have made it possible for us to pursue our studies at Jordan High School. We now realize as never before how broad a View of life we have as a result of your sacrifice and help. And you, the city fathers of Lewiston, have contributed generously to our future success. 'Ihe students of Jordan High, past and future, are an everlasting evidence of your labor and effort. Finally, to you, our revered faculty, do we now endeavor to show our realization of what you have done for us. Through these four years you have, unconsciously perhaps, been examples of helpfulness and kindness at all times. If we seemed thoughtless and unfeeling before, we are trying now to express in our small way the consciousness of your never-failing under- standing and self-sacrificing, tireless effort in our behalf. 36 JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL FOLIO In this happy and grateful frame of mind, it is well for us then to consider for a few minutes the story of this timely subject, the Declaration of Inde- pendence. All of us recognize the importance of the Declaration, but few, if any, can comprehend the situation as it existed in 1775 and 1776. George III had by means of the Stamp Act and Townshend Act, succeeded, so he thought, in subduing the rebellious colonists. Some of these colonists still were loyal to the crown. To break away from the rule of the mother-country was a dangerous step. The issue of independence was, then, the real motive for calling Congress at the time. The colonies were divided on the question, whether they would break the bonds which had held them to the British crown or live under the cruel rule of a tyrant who cared neither for his coun- try nor for its traditions. Something had to be done. The day before, Richard Henry Lee, in behalf of the Virginia delega- tion, had introduced a triple motion declaring independence, recommending the solicitation of aid from foreign powers, and urging the formation of a confederation to bind the colonies more closely. The first clause, that of the declaration of independence, was fiercely debated until seven o'clock that night. At the same time a committee of five was appointed to draw up a declaration of independence to be adopted in case the motion should be passed. Thomas jefferson was chosen first on the committee, with John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, and Robert R. Livingston following in the order named. In response to the unanimous request of his associates, jefferson undertook to draft the paper. After this manuscript had been care- fully corrected and reread, it was adopted on july 4, 1776. By the second of August, all the fifty-six members had signed the engrossed copy. These, then, are the mere facts of the story. What drama and realism lie back of it all! Of the fifty-six signers of the Declaration of Independence, true American noblemen, twenty-four were lawyers, fourteen were agricul- turists, four physicians, one a minister of the gospel, and three had prepared for that calling but chose other vocations, one was a manufacturer, and nine were merchants. Such is the list of men who braved fortune, liberty and life for what they believed to be justice and the right. John Hancock has become immortal by signing his name, so that, as he said, King George could read it without his spectacles. Benjamin Frank- lin. overhearing one gentleman say something to another, remarked, Yes, indeed, we must all hang together-or-we shall all hang separately! They might jest and joke, but beneath it all was a realization of the penalty if this infant nation of theirs should fail. These daring patriots would be the first to be tried in England and executed, on account of their so-called treason to the crown. These men represent a type of patriotism without which America never could have reached the position of eminence which she holds in the world today. It is fitting that when jefferson, the great statesman and political leader of his country, was asked what he wished inscribed on his tombstone, he gave three of his services: the first was- the signer of the Declaration of Independencef' The Declaration of Independence has given the worlrl the principles of America democracy from which all nations will draw inspiration until the end of time. 11, r isfaf' te 11' 73005 '5 38 JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL FAOLIO ESSAY fffafayette Germaine Marion Pelletier LaFayette naquit dlune famille noble d'Auvergne.

ESSAY f57iozfnas jeferson and American Independence Paul Arthur Roy This year, 1926, is a most significant one for us, citizens of the United States of America. Exactly one hundred and fifty years ago this very month of june the greatest of all historical documents, the Declaration of Inde- pendence, was written by the immortal pen of Thomas Jefferson. On the seventh of june, 1776, Richard Henry Lee asked Congress to de- clare the colonies free from Great Britain. A committee of five was appointed. composed of Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Roger Sherman, and Robert Livingston, for the purpose of preparing a declaration of independence from England. To the youngest of the five, Thomas Jeffer- son, then thirty-three years old, was given the task of putting on paper the words which would declare to the world that the colonies were forever free, words which would give birth to a new nation, the United States of America, dedicated to political and religious freedomg a nation which then bordered only on the Atlantic and counted scarcely three million inhabitants, a nation which to-day has spread from sea to sea and has more than one hundred mil- lion in population, a nation which has become the richest on earth, the most progressive in the world, incomparable in production and resources. One hundred and fifty years ago, on the second of July, 1776, Thomas jefferson presented his cherished document to the members of Congress, who were assembled in the old State House of Philadelphia, now known as Independence Hall. For three days the members debated upon the wording of the manuscript. Outside in the streets of the quaint old Quaker town the people impatiently awaited the decision. With great anxiety they strained their ears to hear the first peal of that bell which would proclaim the tidings. Suddenly, on the fourth of July, the old bell with its iron voice Proclaimed liberty throughout the land, to all the inhabitants thereof. At last, Thomas Jefferson had the satisfaction of seeing his cherished document accepted, adopted, and signed, with only a word changed here and there. 40 JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL FOLIO It seems befitting, therefore, at this particular moment, to eulogize the au- thor of the most priceless document of our nation. So thoroughly a part of himself was the Declaration of Independence, so honestly did he believe in the philosophy that it contains, particularly 'tthat all men are created equalj' that he has also been esteemed the father of American Democracy. He was al- ways the apostle of liberty, the upholder of the rights of individual. He be- lieved in conserving unimpaired, all the rights of local authorities. He believed that good government rests on intelligent people, therefore advocating a common school system and general education. He was a keen believer in religious freedom, being the author of the Virginia Statutes for Religious Freedom. In the history of the Republic, Thomas Jefferson stands as a great leader. He devoted more than forty years of his life to the service of his country. During the Revolution, he was Governor of Virginia and worked unceasingly to bear up Virginia's part in the memorable struggle. In 1783 he was sent as a delegate to Congress. At this time he advocated the means which led to th-e settlement of the fine Western section of the United States, then known as the Northwest Territory. Perhaps very few people might credit Jefferson as the forerunner of Abraham Lincoln, America's greatest emancipator. When a plan of govern- ment was drawn up for the great Northwestern Territory, he inserted a grand provision which became the corner stone and the glory of the prosperous West. Though a Virginian and a slave-holder, jefferson hated slavery. His views on slavery were far beyond those of his time. As Minister to France in 1784, as Vice-President in 1793, and as Pres- ident of the United States from 1801 to 1809, he served his country well. The year 1809 found him retired at his beloved home, Monticello, where he devoted the remaining years of his life in arousing interest in the founding of the University of Virginia. He died on the Fourth of july 1826, fifty years after he gave his famous document to the world. , To-day, one hundred years after his death, Thomas jefferson is still a power in the land. Millions of Americans follow his teachings. For over a century, he has been the patron of one of the outstanding political parties of America, whose members lovingly and loyally refer to their political faith as Uthe true jeffersonian Democracy. Though there are some Americans who may differ with these political beliefs, yet all cherish the memory of the author of the Declaration of Independence. The traveller, in a beautiful valley below the historic mansion of Mon- ticello, may see a plain, simple, ten-foot Obelisk of brown stone. On the pedestal is the following inscription prepared by Thomas jefferson himself. Here lies buried 'Ihomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Inde- pendence, of the statutes of Virginia for Religious Freedom, and father of the University of Virginia. xixlwg X !Qg5'r4gc 525.1124 JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL FOLIO 41 CLASS ORATION 8 Qluribus Cllmlnfz, John Alexander Ronald Driscoll There is a story told of a little French girl who was inspired with the desire to become an actress even though she possessed, seemingly, no ability. She gathered her pennies together every time a great play came to the city in which she lived, and attended the theatre. By concentrating her observing powers, she learned the difficult art of acting and became one of the world's greatest tragediennes. The critics said Sarah Bernhardt was original, but she merely claimed that she was doing what she had seen others dog that is, she adopted the best and excluded the less artistic. Be we good or bad, we do but follow others who have gone before. There are very few things that occur to which we cannot point out a paralled incident or object. ,In this, the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the union of the sev- eral American colonies into a single nation to be known as the United States 'of America, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Sir, graduates. It is fitting that our motto should be taken from the shield of our great country. We but follow, in our own small way, in the footsteps of the nation's founders. The states, scattered along the Atlantic coast, imbued with different principles, came together for the common good, and from many, built up a single nation, finer and greater because of the fusion of the different localities. The members of our class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Six entered high school strangers to each other. They came together with characteristic American liberality and produced a class better and broader minded for the union and fully prepared to go out and become America's citizens. M Who can say to what heights some of the members of this class will go? Practically every field of endeavor will attract us to its service. All of us will not succeed, perhaps. We will choose careers which are open to human activity and our fortunes will be various, even though our merits should be equal. We feel that we shall all accomplish something, for we have been taught to beat what we have learned into a single sword so that we may cut a deeper swath, and to maine cooperation with God's providential guidance a life-aim: to have an ideal that is not only the highest, but which also blends all other true ideals into harmony. And is it not worth the labor and expectation of a life-time to be able to do even once the right thing excellently well? What men have done, men can still dof' We realize, indeed, that our education cannot confer organic power, but education alone gives us the faculty to perceive how infinitely Wonderful and fair are man's endowments, how boundless is his inheritance, how full of death- less hope is that to which he may aspire. We have been educated by what calls forth in us love and admiration, by what creates the exalted mind and the steadfast purpose. How is it possible to remain inferior when we know that this age is the acceptable time for all great work? The heart turns to the past, but the mind looks to the future, and so this class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Six, E Pluribus Unum, One 42 JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL FOLIO Out of Many, is about to step over the threshold into higher education or the world itself, which is but another form of education, and a voice in our hearts speaks to us in the words of Wordsworth: Nay never falter, no great deed is done By falterers who ask for certainty. 1, 'H' GFI-7 ' , x .., Q .. ,.

You are up at jordan High School, in Room 11, on Tuesday afternoon. You will hear all the latest school scandal as discussed by the members of the Booster staff. But you must promise never to breathe a Word of it. In the first place, this meeting could never actually take place, for all the members who should be present are here, and that never has, nor never will happen. It is now half past two. Why, Hello, Helen, and Emma, and Dorothy- and john Driscoll, how did you ever get here on time! Why what's going to happen? Search me, I actually wasnlt late for school this morning, eith-er. Well, let's get our work done right up quickly this time, Ilve got lots to do. f'What have we for news. Let's see, Helen Geary stopped Whispering in Algebra for two minutes last week. And did you know this? -The other day Bill Lepage was so quiet, the teacher sent him down to the office to get excused, she thought surely he must be seriously ill. And oh, say, this deserves headlines: Elmer 'Iruesdale has a new girl! That's nothing new, he has so many he forgets which one he is with. Why, the other night, first he called me Edith, then he called me Helen, then he called me Bertha. I got so angry I sent him home. But listen, the other day in bookkeeping, Eugene Syphers wrote a note making a date with Katherine Higgins for 2:30 that afternoon. The teacher got hold of it, and made Genie return. Katherine waited all afternoon in her Sunday dress, and Genie didn't show up. She was so angry she didn't come to school for three days. Listen, folks, I've got a bright idea for the Booster next issue! Now, John, if you've got a bright id-ea, cherish it. They don't come very often, you know. Fm serious. Let's have a long column of 'What Would Happen Ifs! Like this, you know: What would happen if - Q Gertrude Lamey and Germaine Pelletier stopped quarreling in ste- nography class? If Anthony Pelletier stopped making eyes at Emma Meservey? What!! Now, Emma, you keep still. How about the night of the Senior Play? But, he wasn't making them at me. He was making them at 'Lizzie,' at Helen Davis, you knowf' Well, anyway, what would happen if LaLu'etta Hamel should grow as large as Dan Pendegast? If Jeannette Cutts failed in any lesson? f'If Mary Rowbotham and Ethel Scott should quarrel and not go to- gether any more? JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL FOLIO 45 if If Lloyd Heldman forgot to be good natured? Say, you know that boy has the biggest grin- Now you be careful what you say about Lloyd. He and Loufs Rivard can do more and make less fuss about it than half a dozen ordinary boys. Speaking of Louis reminds me. Did you ever notice that every Booster Say Martha Briggs always comes around and asks, 'Is Louis going to fold Boosters today? Then be sure and let me fold, won't you? Now be sure! l The other day I had a surprise. Why, Dorothy, I didn't know anything could surprise you. You are always so calm and collected. Tell us about it, quickly. Aren't we going to do any Booster work this afternoon? just a minute, Dorothy is going to tell us about something that really surprised her. It was like this. I got to school early one morning. There was no one in the upper corridor except Paul Roy. He was dancing around doing this- I asked him what he was doing, and he said he was practicing to show the officers how to salute, out at West Point next year. I thought I should die from laughing. f Member the time Russell Fitz was called on to read his composition? He read page after page of nothingness without turning his paper. Finally, the teacher interrupted him, and asked him to bring his paper to the desk. He did and there was not a word on it. And right away, Russell Thibodeau, Francis Donovan, and Carl Barnes hired him to give them lessons in the little game of bluff. Why, that's nothing. Norman Rowe has six, six girls mind you, in h's class learning to pass notes correctly. There are Bertha Bemi-er, Mildred Fogg, Grace Barrett, Helen Clark, Isabelle Fuller, and Louise Croninf, Wasnlt it too bad what happened to Edith Thayer? What was it? You know she and Dan Pendergast and Ernest Silverman were on the committee for mock graduation in our division. I warned Edith she,hid better stay away from those boys, but she would have a committee meeting. Well, when he came into the Library that afternoon, Dan did not notice Edith sitting down in one of the chairs and he sat right on top of her! Poor Edith was never seen again. Ernest looked everywhere but he could not find her. So we had no program for mock graduation. Ernest offered to sing a song but the division objected. Oh, let me tell you about the time fbulbous fruits,' came up in ste- nography class. No one knew what they were, but Leo Faucher and james Elliott insisted they were 'onions'. No one knew whether onions were fruit or vegetables. So a committee of one, na.mely Jerome Sansoucy, was appointed to interview Miss Archibald and find out. Well, Jerome Went to see Miss Archibald all right, but he got so interested in some other subject, I don't know whether it was cooking, or sewing or millinery,- but anyway, he forgot what he had come to see her about. So we never found out if 'bulbous fruits' were onions. 46 JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL FOLIO 'tDid you hear about the hit Gertrude Egan made in Washington last Spring? Olivia Kenney got a letter a while after, asking all about her. I know Gertrude would not intentionally break anyone's heart, but it looks a bit suspicious, don't you think? Say, folks, this place is getting dangerous. I hear Orville Hartford and Elwood Ross up in the chemistry laboratory, I think I'll be going. I'm not a coward, but I don't believe in risking my neck unnecessarily. You see it's the only one I've got, and I don't know where to go to get another. 'KWe must get back to our work. What time is it, Dorothy? Why, my goodness gracious sakes alive! It's half past four. I had a.n appointment at quarter past. Coming, Helen?l' Hurry, Emma, Illl miss my car. Good bye, John. And once again the poor little editor is left alone. The meeting is over- all of them are over forever and ever, for them. All those dear, dear meetings. What did it matter if they never did accomplish anything? What did it matter if the editor must now sit down and really work? There is an inescapable something about the criticism of youth, some- thing as certain as sunshine after rain. It is a part of high-school training. And a high school training-that is one of the most precious possessions to which one could aspire. It forms character as true as a pearled nautilus. Each year, each day, each hour, the old cells are dropping off, cells of habit and conceit, and new and noble cells are forming until, if we but will it, characters of true pearl stretch heavenward. So we to-day, as we leave the cells of the past behind us, earnestly say within our hearts: Build thee more stately mansions, Oh! my soul, While the swift seasons roll, Leave thy low-vaulted past Make each new temple nobler than the last, Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast, Till thou at length art free, Leaving thine out-grown cell By Life's unresting sea. E JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL FOLIO 47 Glass Cldill Russell Fitz Be It Remembered, that we, the class of 1926, Jordan High School, in the city of Lewiston, in the county of Androscoggin, in the state of Maine, do make, publish and declare this our last Will and Testament. After the payment of our just debts, and the expenses of administration, we dispose of our estate as follows: 'Io the school we do bequeath our hearty congratulations on having turned out such a fine mannered, good-looking class, so well versed in knowledge, and possessed of melodious voices which have so harmoniously echoed through our school on Monday mornings. To the Junior class we do bequeath the Senior hall, held in sacred trust by us during the past year, and the request that they, ever-watchful, protect it from the pranks and frolics of the irresponsible under-classmen. In memory of their long stay and, in many cases prolonged stay, at Jordan High School, certain students do hereby make numerous generous bequests which will tend to promote the great learning and prosperity effected by our four years' sojourn at this most renowned institution. The electrical wizard of the decade, Orville Hartford, leaves as a great assistance to the tardiness monitor his latest and greatest invention, an ingen- ious device by which all heavy-sleepers, as John Driscoll, will be ejected from bed promptly at the hour of 7:15. For the maintenance of the elite styles propounded by our class dudes, Anthony Pelletier and Gerald Higgins, their exquisite collection of ties and shirts, of the most delicate tints and color-blends, are left to the prospectives. Peretz Singer, erstwhile promoter of the class of 1926, leaves his 100 shares of the New Auburn Advertising stock from which he has made his pile during his high school career. An unlimited source of cribs, bluffs, etc., are bequeathed to the under- classmen now bordering on the brink of 70, by Jeanette Cutts and Emma Meservey, our class valedictorian and salutatorian respectively. g To the weary and ambitionless whose thoughts turn toward track, are bequeathed the long flat feet and smoking outfits with which Bert Fournier, Edward Hurley and Harry Maxim were able to leave their opponents so far in the rear in the track world. To our teachers who have been so careful to properly discipline us, there is left everlasting peace and relief by William O. LePage who has been so thoughtful in keeping the fair faces of our class so bright and cheerful during the past four years. So that the sacred silence of our select hall and classrooms may remain unviolated, a hitherto unknown system of signals and communication used for the past four years in a manner which has caused much wonderment over its success, is bequeathed by Florence Lamontagne,Angela Dumais, and Louise Cronin. The dashing Romeo of our class does leave and bequeath his latest handbook entitled, The Ways and Wiles and Wherefore.: of a Woman, the thought of which the author, Harry Maxim, has so skillfully carried out during his banner year. 48 JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL FOLIO To the struggling young under-classmen, a super-human brain through the various channels of which complete knowledge of all subjects flows, with an unusual propensity for figures, is generously donated by Samuel Sprince. An unending supply of wit and ditties which have kept the fair faces of our class so bright and cheerful is left by our class comedians, james Orlandini and Lloyd Heldman. To our future athletes, the slender physiques and effeminate and delicate manner of our football stars, are left by Dan Pendergast, Ed. Mardosa, and Frank Donovan. To the young Beau-Brummells of the underclasses who may have occasion to travel over Webber Avenue car line, the finely-upholstered compartment used during the past four years solely by Edgar Matthews is thoughtfully bequeathed. To the Juniors who have been meek and shy and unable to make them- selves noticed, Carl Barnes leaves a supply of copious chatter and confusion which has kept our knowledge-seeking students in a continual disturbance during all our classes. To the aspiring young misses who have so earnestly but vainly tried to attract the attentions of their respective young gentleman, Martha Briggs leaves her irresistible chamis and wiles which have kept a certain young underclassman hopefully at her feet during the past year. To the solemn and sober of the school, Leo O'Neil surrenders his unfail- ing good humor and contagious tee-hee which has been at the bottom of so many of our near riots. William Manning, class grind, having matriculated his course at Jordan High School, gives over to the school, sole and entire, his set of thirteen bound volumes entitled, The Beacon of Knowledge. To those who have faltered when coming to the vital moment of express- ing themselves as they thought properly befitted them, john Driscoll leaves his unerring flow of diction which is fittingly equal to the finest of things. So that the long and dreary evenings of winter may not be so tiresome and uneventful, a complete collection of the well-known novels by the famous author, Nicholas Carter, is thoughtfully bequeathed to the hero-worshipping young Freshmen, by Chester Phillips. The intensive giggling and frolicking which has so often helped to break the monotony at jordan High is left to the The Mary Sunshines of the classes that follow us by Margaret Costello and Helen Harkins. Carfare is generously bequeathed to the under-classmen from the country, so that they may be able to visit the great metropolis of Lewiston more than once a week, by the benevolent Dorothy Osgood Fund. A As a last thought, we wish to make a great financial bequest which we hope will start a long needed campaign at jordan High. We do give one com- plete set of Egan dumbells toward the furnishing of our first gymnasium.

THE CLASS or 1926. JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL FOLIO 49 CLASS PROPHECY 'Z-Thirteen Clears After Arthur Raymond Rowe-Helen Olive Davis QArthur Rowe ushered to his seat, followed shortly by Helen Davisl -VVould you be so kind as to lend me your program? -Certainly. -Thank you. Why isn't this Arthur Rowe of Lewiston? It certainly is. But I can't quite place you. -It can't be Helen Davis? -Not exactly. It is Helene Davies. QBoth glance at the programj -VVhy, this play was written by Caroline Bednarz! Didn't she graduate in our class? -Yes, didn't you know that? That's why I came. This is its first night, too. -VVell I came principally to see Louis Rivard play the lead. I saw him two years ago in Jack Steps Out. -He's a very fine actor and Oh, speaking of acting, have you seen Madame Butterfly at the Metropolitan Opera House? -No, I haven't, is it any good? -Good! VVhy it's all the rage. Anthony Pelletier and Irene Lagueux are playing the leads. This is Tony's debut in grand opera, for he spent several years after graduation remodeling old Fords into strip-downs in his modern garage in the rear of the old Jordan High building. -Oh, by the way did you know that Elmma Meservey is the first woman principal of the new Keith Small High School in Lew- iston. -Keith Small High School! How did it ever get that name? -From its benefactor, of course. Keith donated a tidy million to build it. -You don't mean it! And Emma Meservey is principal of it! How splendid for her! Yes, and how fine for Keith! He and Henry Kingston are joint owners of the Sun and Journal. They have made fortunes which easily reach the millions. - :oo :- -Isn't it about time for the curtain to rise? The title of the play is most catchy isn't it? Thirteen Years Later ? Yes it does sound mysterious. By the way what are you doing for excitement, and just Why have you altered your name? -Well, Helene Davies sounds more dignified, and it's better for business purposes than my own. -What business are you engaged in? -l'm playing character bits at Roche and Saunders' Studio just now. VVhat are you doing? Q -Oh, I'm owner of a bus line featuring Hartford motors and LePage designed bodies. JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL FOLIO -Do you ever get any good radio in Lewiston, we get excellent static here. -Yes, fairly. Gertrude Egan and Chester Phillips are quite prominent in broadcasting circles. Chester is announcing for the Poland Spring Station, and Gertrude gives solos quite fre- quently. -Well, I got John Driscoll about two weeks ago. He gave a most interesting speech on Marriage, pro and con, mostly co'n. -He goes all over the country lecturing in his private car. -I saw the funniest thing yesterday on Fifth Avenue. You re- member Rosario Dube, Louise Cronin and Laura Johnson? -Surely. -They are giving a most unique exhibition in the show windofw of the lfVrigley Chewing Gum Co. I -Yes, go on. -VVell, Rosario is demonstrating how to chew it energetically, Louise is chewing it noisily, and Laura gives a fine demon- stration of how to chew it aesthetically. -Say, I'm going up to see them. -Youill be well paid for the trouble. -Lloyd Heldman has a step on all competition in his particular line, too. -Nothing can surprise me about Lloyd. Proceed! I-Ie's exhibiting a new dance called the rMazurka Special. -Well, that's better than I expected anyway. -But that's nothing to what Sammy Sprince is doing. He is the head model at 'Higgins and Truesdale Haberdasheries in Letwis- ton. All the select follow his example for what the well dressed man should wear. -The old home town is certainly growing up. Have you seen the new gymnasium and boat club on the verdant banks of the little Androscoggin? -You mean the one of which Jeanette Cutts is head instructress? -Yes, she gives swimiming, rowing, and canoeing lessons. -And she has two assistants, Margaret Marshall and Lauretta Hamel who attend to the indoor sports. -.oo .-- -VVell the curtain is rising at last. -Doesnit that look like Grace Barrett playing the mother's role? -It certainly is. She is the wonder of the stage in emotional roles. -Oh, I met James Elliott and his wife at a baseball game in Lew- iston the other day. -Is he married? I didn't know that. -Oh, yes, he married Catherine Higgins some time ago. They were up to see Russ Scribner pitch. You remember him don't you? -I should say I did, his pitching was sensational even -during his high school days. -Peretz Singer is managing the Boston Red Sox. Patsy could IORDAN HIGH SCHOOL FOLIO 51 always change a loser into a winner. .. -I don't care a lot for baseball, but I'm crazy about, tennis. I haven't seen anybody cover so 'much ground on the court as Danny Pendergast, since the days of Bill Tildenq -Yes, and Harry Maxim' took first place in the Olympics. There were some athletes in our class, weren't there? -Why the orchestra is starting to play. It's the end of the act. -They're playing Echo of the Past, composed by Mary Row- bothaam, another Lewistonite! I -Yes, and see Gene Syphers leading the orchestra through their paces. A -I see where Martha Briggs and Helen Geary have formed a partnership for advising and supervising the increase of magnetic power necessary to annex a husband. -I should judge they would be very co'mpetent teachers. -Oh! come to think of it, I just received a letter from Paul Roy in Honolulu. -Is he still in the army? -Yes, that is if you mean the Salvation. -Speaking of the fellows, what's become of the two greatest cap- tains jordan High ever had? -VVho, Edgar Matthews and Ernest Silverman? -Yes. -VVell, Matty is playing the part of the bearded lady in Hurley's thrilling two ring circus, and Ernie has gone to Europe. -To Europe! Has he a position there? -Yes, he's directing traffic on the busiest street corner in Dublin. -I'll bet collisions are reduced to a minimum there, all right. The curtain is rising again. My but isn't that male impersonator clever. W'ho can she be? CBoth look at the programj -Olivia Kenney! The very same person that was in our high school class. Who would have guessed she was so clever? -You haven't heard anything of Francis Donovan have you? -VVhy, yes. just the other day I was reading that he had the most unique occupation known, selling itching powder to the New 'Mexican Indians in order to produce energy and ambition ' enough for their native dances, which are attended each year by thousands of tourists. -Powder makes me think of Marguerite Coffey. She is running a cosmetics shop on Lisbon Street. She will prepare just the right blend of powder and rouge for you on sight. Yes, I saw her ad in the Sola Story Magazine. -That must be a new one, I never heard of that. Who owns it? -Leo O'Neilg Leonora Ferguson edits it. And I noticed that Isabelle Fuller drew the last cover design. Quite a Jordan High product. -VVhat is Norman Rowe doing now? -Why he has just extended his ranch in the wide open spaces, where 'men are men, so that it includes that pond of all ponds, No Name Pond, and also Sabattus mountain. 52 JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL FOLIO H.

The two Seniors, Carl Barnes and Orville Hartford, explained their idea to Mr. Gagnon, physics and chemistry instructor, who gave it his approval. A club of this kind was favored by hi'm. Thus began an organization with an entirely different objective from any already existing among the students. The new organization was named the Advanced Science Club of Iordan High School, with Mr. Rudolph A. Gagnon as instructor and leader, and six Senior boys, Carl Barnes, Anthony Pelletier, Chester Phillips, Paul Roy, Orville Hartford, and Elwood Ross as charter melm- bers. Later Arthur Rowe, Roger Simard and John Driscoll were ad- mitted by popular vote. After its formation the club was conducted along the same lines as any of Mr. Gagnon's classes, because it was instruction in scientific lines that the members wanted. This club is unique in that it has no officers, and therefore does not follow any parliamentary form. All candidates, which must be boys, are carefully considered before they are admitted. Their acceptance or rejection depends upon the unanimous vote of the entire club. The con- siderations are: their interest in science itself, and their fitness to participate in such an organization. Frofm the time of formation in early fall until about Easter the club consisted of Senior boys only. The program included receiving instruc- tion in trigonometry, logarithms, chemistry, electricity, and other in- teresting subjects dealing directly with science. At Easter, selected juniors were admitted to membership that they may become acquainted with its purpose and carry it on through the next year. All the Senior members upon graduation automatically be- come Honorary Members. The last month or two have been devoted solely to informal talks given by the Senior Members on subjects with relation to their individual hobbies. At this time the members, both Senior and Junior, are privileged to bring in guests of their own choice. SCHEDULE OF TA LKS Talk No. By Subject Date l.

NVe, as green Freshies, gathered at Mrs. Hethis Dancing Academy for the great event. An able committee was in charge and the evening was spent in dancing. The Freshmen weren't the only ones who had a good time. As Sophoimores: The Sophomore Party. Our freshman party having been such a success, we looked eagerly forward to our next class party which was held in January at Mrs. I-Ieth's Academy. The strains of Home Sweet Home were heard al- together too soon that night by most of us. As Juniors: Class Partyg Reception to Seniorsg Class Ride. It wasn't until we were Juniors that we of the class of '26 really stepped out. Our first event was the annual class party, held at Beacon Hall on Main Street. Music was furnished by the falmous Collegiate Syncopators and everyone who went spent an enjoyable evening. Our Entertainment for the Seniors. Next came the Junior-Senior Receptionsa party that We as juniors gave to the Senior Class of '25 at Beacon Hall, May 12, 1925. Our class president, Fred Hall, welcomed the Senior class. The response was given by their president, Clifton Robbins. It proved to be one of the most delightful events of the season. The last social activity of our career as Juniors was when we all gathered at the school about a week before graduation and with colors flying started on a class ride to Tacoma. The part looked forward to most was the shore dinner served at the Inn, toasts being given by our classmates to the boys, the girls, and the athletes of our class. Dancing occupied the evening and every one went home in happy spirits. As a pleasant memory of the trip, we think of Chester Phillips and his banjo playing. As Seniors: We Shine in Many Events. As dignified seniors, our school year has been filled with many and varied events. One fact which we regretted much as we came back to be seniors was that Miss Duggan our Latin teacher was leaving us, to go to Lawrence. XVe have missed her, as we have plodded our Way through Vlergil, but Miss King has proved to be very efficient and we are all fond of her. Reception to Freshmen. The senior class gave a reception to the Freshmen in Beacon Hall, when the Freshmen had an opportunity to become acquainted with each other and the faculty. JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL FOLIO 57 Senior Class Party. Our last class party was held this fall at the same delightful spot, and a very good nuhnber attended and enjoyed themselves. ' junior Senior Reception. This year it was our turn to be entertained by the Juniors who gave us an excellent party on February 4. The hall was prettily decorated in a Valentine scheme. Punch was served throughout the evening and ice cream at intermission. A few specialty numbers were given by the boys' quartet. An occasion to be remembered by all. Basket Ball Bazaar. The bazaar given in November was really under the auspices of the Girls' Basketball Association, but much credit is due to the seniors who did their share toward its success. An especially attractive part of the program was a play entitled, Elizabeth's Young Man in which Miss Briggs, Miss Meservey, and Mr. Truesdale of the senior class took part. The Magic Wheel. A new feature of this year's program was the operetta given at the French School Hall on Bates Street, April 23. Everyone was charined with the delightful voices of those taking part and the catchy airs of the opera. Vve won't forget Anthony as a leading man right away. The Lottery Man. Last, but not least on the list of our social activities is The Lottery Man, a comedy in three acts given at the Empire Theatre, May 24. 1,000 laughs it surely did contain and was a great success.

First he turned his second championship football team, and then later in the winter he developed a relay teaim which surpassed any tea.m in the state, and its success was greater than any team on record at the school. The baseball passed a successful season beating our rivals, Edward Little, 17-3 as well as some of the other leading teams. At this time jordan High School is having one of her most active periods in athletics in the history of the school. The marvelous work of our coach is not to be passed over lightly. The veterans lost to the football team are Captain Matthews, Dan Pendergast, Frank Donovan, Jilm Orlandini and Russell Fitz. The prospects for another championship team next year are un- usually bright with Couture, centerg iMeader, guard, captain-elect Mel- vin and Verville, tacklesg joe Harkins, Bert Simard and John Doyle, endsg Ted NVeber, quarterbackg Veilleux and Simard half backs together with our star half back and punter Pat O'Leary topped oPf by our plunging full back Fred Hall. The basketball season was very successful last year. One of the greatest accomplishments was the defeat of Edward Little at their one and only sport at which the Lewiston players are green. VVe will soon be defeating them regularly. Next season the team will be the best that we have had. Coach Kelly has been working for one purpose and that is for a thorough knowledge of the game and a good hardworking and well seasoned squad. Next year he predicts that the team will be a championship team with an unusually large number of veterans, including Packard, centerg XVood and Sherratt, forwardsg Melvin, Hall and Hamilton, backs. All these men played regularly this year and will start the season off ,next year with a Hash. The relay tearm has a seasoned group of veterans headed by captain- elect Sullivan who will begin where the champs left off last season. This year our athletic teams lose their most prominent member Ed- gar Matthews, captain of both major sports football and baseball. His graduation will cause a severe blow to these teams. His record in athletics is undoubtedly the finest of recent years. His double captaincy and active playing on these two teams during his entire high school career. - fffeampbo Qasketball 'S Q X, JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL FOLIO 63 This year's baseball team will also receive a severe blow with the loss of the mainstay of the pitching staff Russ Scribner. For two years Russ has pitched us to many hard victories and turned Edlward Little back four times in a row. The prospects are bright for a fine team next year, with Pat O'Leary and Lawrence Meader pitching, and Verville and O'Leary filling the breach at third base. 6l:' fclur Second Qoys'Q3a.sketball Season a, Q3etter Une The second basketball season of the school goes on record as a highly successful one. Lewiston won half the games and among these victories was one over Edward Little, the first defeat that we have tacked onto them in the short time that we have taken up the sport. For the first game of the season, we tripped the Alumni 24 to 21 at the Armory surface. The following game the first of the season was dropped to Deering. 30 to 18. On Saturday of the salme week we played Edward Little in their cheese box, Auburn Hall. The game was the hardest fought game of the season. First we would be in the leaid, and then they would lead. The outcome was not certain until the final whistle had blown. Edward l.ittle barely won by a 35 to 30 score. On january 16, Lewiston entertained Portland University at Lewis- ton and licked them 27 to 21. Lewiston played at Saco a week later, defeating them in their own gym Z5 to 23. This game was the closest of the year nearly ending in a tie. Peaslee shot the winning basket to break the tie. In the week of February 3 we dropped two games to Bangor, one at Lewiston and one at Bangor. These losses were not a discredit, since Bangor won the Central Maine title. W'e lost both games by close SCOFCS. February 13 we played at Mexico. The game was lost entirely through the breaks. Later, on March 6, we soundly trounced thefm 28 to ll in the return game. In the City Hall we played the final game of the inter-city series. lt was the hardest fought of the season, Lewiston coming out on top 22 to 19. This game marks the turn in our progress in basketball. On March 5 we lost to Deering at their home floor 15 to 12. Deer- ing was one of the leading teams of the state and chosen for the Bates tournament. VVe ended the successful season by a great victory of the Mexico team 28 to 11. Mexico was a Bates tournament team. qfelay and CGrack clfieazfn . Hats off to our championship relay, the second championship of the year. These runners had the most successful team in the history of the school. One opponent after another was defeated by the sensational YH 93 V23 'xr N -Q w Q2 'Q V1 N QQ W 'x. L -N TJ? JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL FOLIO 65 Blue Streaks, not mere victories but by half a lap or more. The closest that any team came to tieing ours was the performance of Portland Lewiston won that relay by a quarter lap. Thibodeau, a junior, was lead off man and was considered by his performances to be the leading touch-off man in the state. Bill O'Sulli- van, a new comer in track circles, ran second. He turned in a very creditable number of dashes and next year will be one of the mainstays. Bert Fournier ran as third man and was one of our best in the relay. Next year his place will be a very great hole to fill. Captain Maxim was the one who was responsible mainly for our 'victories, often he would gain a great number of yards from the opposing anchor-man and thus the lop-sided victories were accounted for. The first contest of the year was at the Portland Legion meet. Lewiston met Thornton Academy and left it a half lap in the rear. jordan High turned in the fastest time of any high school team in the state at that meet. Had they been forced their time would have been much lower. A few weeks later at the Portland High school meet, Lewiston met and defeated Abbott school by a half lap. Again turning in the fastest time of the high school entrants. Portland high was considered to have the fastest high school relay team in the state last winter but at the Bowdoin meet they failed to come within a quarter lap of beating our speeding team. At the dedication of the mammoth University of Maine indoor athletic stadium the team was paired against Eastern Maine Conference school and Brewer High. At this meet the Blue Streaks 'made the record for the new gym for high schools and incidentally their time was two seconds lower than that of the U. of M. freshman team. Prospects for another championship relay team are unusually bright with Thibodeau and captain-elect Sullivan returning next year and, to- gether with them, Francis O'Brien our premier middle-distance man. Faust Couture formerly a leading relay man will probably land a regular position on the team. -RUSSELL FITZ. U qtghat If- Keith were large instead of Small.

This year the Blue Streaks played the hardest schedule in the history of the school. Coach French selected the seven leading football teams of the state. Each one was quickly defeated or tied, and the state championship automatically reverted to Lewiston again. The opening game of the season was with Catholic High. Lewis- ton won the game, going right on from where she left off last year, to the tune of 26-0. For the second game of the season Lewiston played at South Port- land and again won by a decisive score, 25-0. Cony High, considered one of the three leading teams in the state came to Lewiston only to be defeated in the third game 9-O. The fourth game of the season was the hardest fought on the schedule. After a long and wearying trip to Bangor the Blue and White warriors were not in the best of condition, and due to this, they were forced to be content with a 0-0 tie. At Biddeford the following week, Lewiston played an uphill game in a sea of mud. These circumstances prevented the Blue Streaks from being at their best and the game ended in a 0-0 tie. Our rivals, Edward Little, were forced to bow their heads in defeat for the sixth consecutive season. Lewiston won easily 18-0. The championship game of the state was played at Lewiston late in November with Portland High, a team which had severely trounced both Bangor and Biddeford previously in the season. Lewiston, never- theless,'went into the game and won 2-0. The score does not begin to represent the humility which Lewiston placed on the haughty Portland team. This game clinched the state championship for Lewiston. The final game of the season was played at Auburn against Edward Little and ended in a victory for Lewiston in accordance with the usual custom. The score was 26-6. Thus ended the season in a rapid succession of great victories for the Blue outfit. Edward Little 'made the first touchdown scored against Lewiston that has been scored in two years. girls' Qiasketball CG:eam jifakes good Showing Owing to their inability to secure games, there were only five con- tests on the girls' slate. The Lewiston High five won three of these,- which is not at all a poor record. Deering High alone, the school girl champions of Maine, won from us. The games were lost by close scores, 28 to 17, and 33 to 21. Having a girls' team that will hold the champions, the second year of the sport is a great record. The other games were with Lisbon Falls, Leavitt Institute and the Y. VV. C. A. These contests were lop-sided victories, for example the score of the final game produced a record of 88 to 16.

The first game of the year was played at Brunswick and to start the season right Lewiston walloped them 12-2. The secon-cl game of the season was played at Lisbon Falls. The Blues lost 8-6. This is the first time in six years that Lisbon Falls has defeated a Lewiston baseball tealm. On May 8, Edward Little came to Lewiston for the first game of the inter-city series. The Blue Streaks showed their superiority in athletics by soundly beating them 17-3. This is the second champion- ship won by Lewiston in the two major sports. The following week we played at Livermore Falls and were defeated 5-1 in a game played on the side of a hill and full of holes as large as graves. Brunswick came to Lewiston, May 21, for the returngame of their series and once more they were defeated, this time lO-5. Owing to the fact that all copy for the Folio must be in on June first, the remainder of the season can not be included in this summary. During the remainder of the season the most important games are the VVaterville game, the game with Bridgton Academy and the final game of the inter-city series. 5 11 IAN lg H? nib!! , X 1 -af f., ' a X :LZ ' O 6 9? ,sap-nf., 70 JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL FOLIO l YE owls IFRHENUS 95? vnrqop A Harold Abbott, '24, Bates College.
