I SOKOKIS WARRIOR .... Elvw TIRIIIBUITIE 'II-O STANILIEY WIEIEMAN The graduating Class of '52 wishes to pay a tribute to our former classmate and friend, Stanley Weeman. Stanley entered Limington Academy in 1948. He served as our class treasurer the first year and was very active in other school activities such as prize speaking and sports. His favorite sports were basketball and baseball. In basketball he played on the second team and also served as manager. He was fond of baseball and played his position at right field very well. Stanley had very many friends both in school and outg he was well liked every- where he went. His favorite haunt was known to be anywhere with Bill fespecially in Billy's carj. Stanley's favorite song was Don't Rob Another Man's Castle. His ambition was to be a poultry man. By vote of the school, we found that Stanley led in these respects: Wittiest, school clown, best sport, and the kindest. He was known to the school as Dagwood. In the year 1950, Stanley entered as a sophomore. Again he took up sports and various activities. He was even more popu- lar with all. He was a big help to our class. One morning when we came to school we learned that Stanley was in the hospital. He had a sudden attack of appendicitis. We all missed him so much, but we never ex- pected the tragedy that happened to Stan- ley. The dreadful event occurred February ll, 1950. We all were very much saddened by his death, which left a vacant place among the student body. But in memory Stanley is still a member of our class. We cherish the memory that he has given to all.

Twlw . . - LIZWINGTON ACAUJEZVIY lL Il T IE R A R HY WHY I LIKE HOME ECONOMICS I like Home Economics because it is very helpful for both boys and girls. Home Eco- nomics is helpful because it prepares you for your future home. First of all you learn how to keep house and to keep it clean and keep it nice and neat. You learn how to paint and paper. You learn how to cook pies, cakes, breads, and to put up lunches for every occasion. You learn how to do sewing and that helps you if you have a home of your own. lt saves a lot of money by making your own clothes. It helps if you have children because you can make a lot of their clothes. It helps you because you can make things for your own home. Home Economics is very interesting. We are go- ing to learn how to hook a rug. I think that is going to be interesting, because I like to learn to do new things. VV e shall have good times when we have our fashion show, to show off the things we have made. We have Home Economics with the seniors and they are a lot of fun to work with. You learn to work together with other people and that is good to know. B. R., '53. THE LAST TWO MINUTES OF A BASKETBALL GAME There are only two minutes left to our ball game and we were in possession of the ball. The score was forty-eight to forty- eight. You see, the score was tied. Clayton took the ball out of bounds and passed it off to Herbert. He dribbles down the floor, stops, passes back to Clayton. Clayton passes it off to Bill and he dribbles down and shoots-but misses. Raymond jumps up and gets the rebound. He passes it off to me and I pass it out to Clayton. He passes to Her- bert. Then it goes from Herbert to Clayton -then it gets in my hands again. I pass it on to Raymond and he tums and gives it back to me. Five seconds left to play. Their man fouls. Now I know the game is up to me. I take my place at the foul line. I shoot and miss. But Bill is in for the re- bound, puts it up and gets two points which puts us ahead. The game is over and we won. T. D., '54, THE SHORTAGE OF WATER If you were asked a question wouldn't you expect an answer? If someone asked you what you did for water at the Academy what would you say? Tonic substitutes for water for us at the Academy. You know as well as I do that that is no substitute for water. So tonic cannot take the place of water. Tonic cannot Hush out your system, or give you a clear complexion. The Academy with running water would have a lot of advantages, for instance, with running water you wouldn't have to run over to the home economics room to get water to drink. Often when boards are washed you have to go over after more water. The money that is paid for a clean- ing woman could be put toward the water system. The Hoors at the Academy aren't washed but once or twice a year, they are oiled. This could cause someone to fall- and hurt himself. Then there will be a bill for someone to pay. , Flush toilets and showers should be put into the gym. It is often an embarrassing situation to say to the members of the visit- ing team that you have no water to drink, unless you carry it. After the game you are all sweaty, but what can you do? Instead of washing you go without until you get home. This is bad for your health. If running water was put into the Acad- emy, hot lunches could be served. How would you like to eat sandwiches every day, five days a week? Hot lunches are being served but not at the Academy. If there is a fire, there is danger to every one in school, since we have no water. The fire extinguisher would help a little, but while the Ere engine is being called the school could easily be burnt down. The Agriculture boys could help with the proj- ect of digging a well. It also would be an interesting subject for anyone to watch. The world is still changing, we still have time to put in running water. Let's not turn back the pages of time. Let's look for- ward for something better! M. H., '54.
