This year we have changed the cover of our bookg we feel that the new cover has added considerably to the appearance of the volume. As an aid in the charact- erization of the seniors, we have added a combination snapshot-caricature page. we of the Editorial Staff present our effort with the hope that it has maintained the high standard set by previous issues. djfwgwm 'il 1 ' In recognition A of the mtv services he has .

EMPLOYlENT ESSENTIALS if A few weeks ago, I waltcd into a Fitchburg store which was in the process of being renovated. Uprn stating the purpose of my errand, the owner at once began to apologize for the appearance of his estab- lishment. UI hired two high school students to rcarrunge these goods,u he explained, nhut they couldn't follow directions, would work only if they were watched, and damaged mnny articles hy their curelcssness.n A short time later, an employer of several high school girls com- plained to me, HYou can ncvrr dep nd on th-m. Thsy will promise faith- fully to be horn on a ccrtuin day ut u specified time. At the last minute, however, either a girl, ur sore frifnd,will phone in to inform me that she is sick or must do some imocrtmnt orrnnd, ---- or give some weak excuse. The girls that do cane, will he lute to work just as often as they are punctusl.u - Only this week, another omuloycr of both part-time high school girls and others who have recently left school, wls very emphatic in the statement, uMost of the girls src absolutely irrnsponsible. Their work is generally poor and careless, and yet they expect to he paid practically the maximum wages in tho concern.u These are but smrplcs of thf indictments being mode these days against the students going out of our high schools into employment. I have seriously wondered many times if our schools are not emphasizing too much the acquisition of facts or suhjocts us such, and the essential qualities of responsibility, punctuality, nos nestness, etc., which seem to he licking in so nuny of the students. overlooking tncss, oar- high school School is the host place to form good habits in these very Cs- sential characteristics, and only hy persistont effort in establishing than as huhits will we win the merit and reuurd of any future cmployon Now is the time tu take inventory of your own personal quilitiea Are they positive or negitivc?

Her academic ability has procured for her the esteem of her classmates, the student body and the faculty. While a 'Brain,' Esther has not neglected her extra curricula activities. On the agenda are ten o'olock jaunts to Ryoker's, basketball games at the Sports Arena, and the last, but not the least, she has been one of our outstanding basketball guards this year. Esther's sojourn at Cornell is certain to be merry as well as profitable and we anticipate for her an illustrious career in the field of journalism. JOHN ARMSTRONG ARNOLD 'Better late than never' would be a good motto for John. 'Johnny' can often be seen reporting to his first class with a tardy slip in his hand. Hb it one of the mainstays of the basket- ball team and his long shots have pulled many a game out of the fire. Although John is fond of teasing the girls, he really is one of the best mannered boys in school. Exams never bother happy-go-lucky John. By the way, how long has the lestern Union been the first railroadT??? GEORGE CLIFFORD BERNHARDT A well-mannered gentleman, George takes a quiet part in all the class affairs. He is 'Al' Moisan's silent partner in many class pranks, but he often escapes unscathed. Studies do not bother George, so he slides happily from day to day without a noticeable worry. One of our shorter men, George is also one of the best- dressed. We think he and 'Al' try to out-do each other as style setters. George has been a faithful drummer in the school band for sev- eral years and the band will surely miss him next year. ROBERT STANLEY BURLEY D ' Glamour boy of the class, Bob has captured many a feminine heart with his six feet of curly- headed hanasemeness. Although his interests seem to lean toward another 'Blue and White', he has devoted much of his energy to Lunenburg High Mainstay of the basketball team for the last three years, Captain Burley's accurate pivot shot has spelled the difference between victory or defeat in many games. Another member of the 'Leachmeres,' Bob took part in the senior boys' recent scholastic revolution by making the Honor Roll. By the way, Bob, English 1sn't -really that bad! ,JEAN CAMERON BURNAP Jean was born centuries too late. Her whim for a pirate's life and the strenuous sport of fene ing overlcrds the modern trend. The aqua- Marine sea, a two-mastered schooner, the pink sand of the Bahamas, and hours of sun bathing would completely satisfy Jean's dream. But seriously, Jean is an artistic dancer even though some of the steps are slightly exagger- ated. Jean's characteristic scrawl represents her many varied moods and her care-free mannen With her scintillating individuality Jean will make success if she just decides where to apply all her diverse accomplishments. DONALD EDWARD CADWELL 'Bunny' is one of those quiet people who often surprises everyone with his spirit and pep. He has been a baseball star in Lunenburg High for three years. More than once he has hit a win- ning rum home with a smashing fdouble. Studies are the least of Donald's worries---particularly oral English. A fire4fighter, Dunry can be seen anxiously hoping for a fire summons whenever the siren blows during school time. One would hard- ly suspect that Donald noticed girls but he seems to have a preference for blondes. ALICE LEONIE CARDIHAL Having a definite inclination toward complex thinking and writing has not hindered Alice from appreciating the lighter side of school life. Seemingly withdrawn and aloof, Alice is very friendly and talkative with her intimate friends Possessor of a deep-throated speaking voice, Alice has a singular flair for the dramatic in her speech. She is an accomplished m sician with a preference for classical music. A High Honor student, Alice has a scholarly approach to life that will serve her well in the future. lith her dark attractiveness, Alice will make a lovely nurse. KENNETH GOODELL Jughead is the number one prankster of the class. Happiest when someone else is ohaffing under his teasing, he really can dream up some good ones. His famous 'Leachmere Car' has ear- ried the 'Leachmeres'on many adventures. A for- mer assistant basketball mnager, 'Jughead' de- cided to toss in a few lnsksts himalfthis year. Jug, who is a lover of popular. nmsic, .can of- ten be heard msically searching for Chloe. 'Here we go around the mulberry bush.' Yes sir, that's Jug. He gave an unforgetable typically 'Jughead' performance in the Senior Class Play. EMMA IDA HARVEY Emma is one of the most active members of the Senior Class. Not only does she find time to take part in practically every school activity, but also she never misses making High Honor. Possessing a great interest in all athletics, she is a good basketball forward and an excel- lent softball pitcher. Her tremendous stamina has won the respect of all of her fellow ath- letes and friends. Emma is very fond of paint- ing and drawing and she has marked talent in sketching animals. we are sure Emma's friend- liness, ambition, and determination will make her a success in whatever she undertakes. JANE ANN HAY Whenever the Senior girls want to put forward an especially bold proposition, they call on Jane to do the talking. Her argu entive abili- ty has enabled Jarve to win manyverbal battles. Another roller-skating fan, Jane can Often be seen gliding around the rink at Whalom. we don't believe Jane will ever forget the grand struggle she has had with French in high school One of the few senior members of the Girls' Glee Club, Jane has done a good job as an alto. We're certain Jane will make an excellent nurse LOUISE BERNHCW HUTCHINSON LUCY HELENE HIRSCH What girl wouldn't give her best sweater to have Lucy's lovely naturally curly hair? An industri- ous student, she is alwavs found near the top of the Honor Roll. Although many of her interests lie outside of school, Lucy has contributed a great deal to school activities, particularly as secretary-treasurer of the Chest Fund and chairman of the annual magazine subscription drive. Lucy often surprises us with her charm- ing singing voice which bursts forth into song whenever she is particularly happy. Perhaps her theme song should be 'Anchors A-weigh . The Honor Roll often shows the fruits of Louise's conscientious labors, for her name al- ways appears rear the top. Always accomplish- ing her assigned tasks without any fussing or fu ing, Louise has a gratifying stability and stolidity which will be invaluable to her in her later life. She never hesitates to express her worthy opinions especially when agitated. She seems to be the only member of the senior class who isn't counting the days 'til gradua- tion. With this attitude Louise is sure to make a success in her future teaching profes- sion. All CATHERINE JLIDRON One of the most outstanding Seniors, Ann is proficient in virtually everything. Her thor- ough, scholarly approach to her studies always leads her to the top of the Honor Roll. Chief exponent of the drama, Ann has turned in many magnificent acting performance.. The spine- chilling tones of 'Jump, why don't you jump?' rang out long after she won the Public Speaking Contest. A capable basketball guard, Ann won a swimmer's scholarship to the National Aquatic School last summer. Ann's ingenuity, dry, caustic wit and intelligence make her a valua- ble addition to any gathering. , C- 1 ,qj . PAUL LEONARD KIIHBY If the seniors were to hold another class elec- tion, President Kenney would surely be elected to a fifth term. Quiet md unassuning, Paul is the good-natured object of many class jokes. 'Pres' has been the stabilizing influence in class meetings and Student Council sessions. His 'Is there any more bus1ness?' has inter- rupted many irrevelant discussions. Despite his seemingly serious and bashful demeanor, Paul can really appreciate a good joke. He of- ten startles us with his unexpected candor. we wonder whether 'Pres' has yet found out when the school co mittee is meeting. IDA RITA LBGROS If Rita had her way, she would roller-skate her way through school. She possesses an un- assuming friendliness and candor that have won her countless friends not only in the senior class but also the lower grades. Although she is not interested in school work, Rita is a vi- tal addition to any class activity. She was a reliable guard for the senior team in the in- ter-class basketball games. Her part in the Samba Dance put on by the Seniors at Ha1lowe'en was admirably accomplished. Rita's ability to converse will stand her in good stead after graduation. PHYLLIS LEE LILJIGREN Whenever we march down to assembly to the fa- miliar strains of 'The Grand March' we think of Phyllis' fine m sical accomplishments. She has been playing the piano for many years and has become quite proficient at it. One of the few seniors to belong to the Glee Club, Phyllis has been a loyal member for four years. Al- though Phyllis is not interested in her studies, she takes an active interest in all the social functions connected with the school. we shall remember her fine portrayal of 'Miss Howard' in our Senior Class Play. ALBERT JOSEPH MDIBAN RICHARD FRANCIS MULLIGAN 'Al' is a good scout who can be counted on to do his share in many class undertakings. Definite- ly not the scholastic type, 'Al' cou1dn't exact- ly be termed a 'ladies' man,' but he.has a cer- tain way with the girls, perhaps it's his good- natured friendliness and excellent manners. Be is one of the best dancers in the class and he genuinely enjoys gliding about the dance floor. e will long remember Al as snapping his fingers and saying 'No, drat it! You're not the one,' in the Senior Class Play. Another member of the 'Leachmere Club,' 'Dickie' is the most talkative fellow in the class.Cheer- ful, lackadaisical, Dick enjoys inventing im- promtu variations on popular Jive tunes. Give him a set of drums and he'd end up as a second Gene Krupa. If he had any more desks the seniors would have to charge him room and board. Many a time Dickie has 'snagged' a bullet-like pass and tossed in a barnyard shot. If Dick worked as hard on his studies as he does on basketball, he would surely hit the top of the Honor Roll. I RAYMOND JUSEPH OKERMAN 'There's 'Okie' going through for a ten yard gain.' How many times this remark: has been aimed at Ukie's basketball playing. Neverthe- less, he is a good player, being aggressive and fast. He is another 'Leachmere,' and he made a fine representative to the Sportsmanship Coun- cil. His argumentiveness has embroiled him in many difficulties, but he usually escapes un- harmed. When he wants to, Okie can make the Honor RollQ as he proved this year. We'll nev- er fcrget the results when Okie attacked typing with his typical aggressivenessl r ALVAN HIGH POUTENIS Alvan is the acknowledged superman of the class- His great physical strength has won him a repu- tation as a potential prize fighter or wrestlea Alvan has a preference for strenuous workouts at the Shirley Recreation Center and nightly drives in search of adventure. Although Alvan is often the subject of a practical joke, he seldom holds any malice against the class jest- ers who take delight in confusing him. A trav- eling man, Alvan has many acquaintances among the feminine inhabitants of the surrounding towns. Alvan often succeeds in making the Honor Roll. FLOYD GEORGE RILEY Versatile, that's Floyd. Besides being'presl- dent of the Athletic Association, he has the difficult task of keeping the finances of the class straight. Floyd's floorwork on the bas- ketball court is the envy of all sports' enthu- siastsg his speed and perfect timing make him an all-around athlete. we think Floyd should exercise that perfect timing when he is driving a car. One of the senior 'Quiz Kids,' Floyd really has a brain although he hates to show it He amazed everyone with his spirited perform- ance in the Senior Class Play. , RUTH CLARA SIION Ruth's changeable eyes are like the swirling whirlpools of the disturbed sea. Her original remarks have turned many a dull situation into a side splitting affair. Those drapey-off-the- shoulder fashion sketches that Ruth is con- stantly drawing set the pace of the fashion aims of the Senior girls. Her artistic temper- ment is shown in her proficiency in ballet and art work. The backbone of the basketball team, Captain Simon has spurred the team on to vic- tory many times. Despite all her extra curric- ula activities Ruth usually manages to hit High Honor. EINARD MATHEW'WARPULA If Einard were to pen a book, it would certainly be titled 'My Car, My Car.' His trusty little 'Chevy' is the smoothest running car on the road because of Einard's care. One of the more de- pendable boys of the class: Einard can always be counted upon to do more than his share in any class undertaking. 'We're forever blcwing'Bub- bles.' Pretty 'Bubbles' in the air.n Is this the origin of Einard's strange nickname, ' Bub- bles,' or could it be 'Super Suds! Super Suds! Lot's more suds from Super Suds!' WALTER HOWARD PIKE Although 'Pikey' has been serving in Uncle Sam's lhvy for the past year, he is as much a part of our class as though he were here. His original ideas have accounted for mary of the lovely hall decorations we have used, particu- larly the Junior Prom. Gay, fun-loving, care- free ---- that's Howard. He was a peppy cheer- leader and spurred the teams on to many victo- ries with his enthusiasm and vim. we are proud to present Pikey as our representative to the Navy and a grand fellow to know. mv.,-iw-fa CL Go awe Q 0 H-,QU if 3- X i t X 19 ' -3 3' png 5 If 7 L if 3 50? ,N , 53 2 Q x 2 353 x 1 . .

Grade Q- Miss Gowell and the mysteries of the multiplication tables oc- cupied our attention this year. Equipped with fancy, homen-ado pen wipers, we had our first ex- perience with writing in ink. Was there a hlotter loft in school? Grade 1 WHO is this new-comer? If we knew then, what we know now--eh, lIJu li? S Miss Gowell is suffering ue another year. We had an operetta this year--and pretty sharp, too. That charm- ing Hawaiian dancer? That is Jean Burnap, our ballerina. Grade 2 iWhich Casanova carries on his romances on the trick bar? Don't blush, Burley, they love it. How we fought to win that coveted desk with the nlift-upu cover! Miss Magovcrn, just one more chapter of uNancy Drcw,' please? A new girl, Emma Harvey, ,joined us. Grade Q Who ever did finish that before-school-work? Don't give up, Miss Lanccy, one boy will make the Honor Roll. Spelling contests, animl poster contests, self-testing drill contests--a fitting good-bye to the nlittlc school.' Grade 1 G .

Our Stage Door Canteen Sophomore Hop was quite an affair--card tables and chairs lent a realistic touch to our night club atmosphere. . Something pleasant did you say, Nr. Karkos? What's a moron's IQ? Remember that farewell party we gave for Miss Hackett? Grade ll Our loss is Fitchhurg's gain--sorry to see you go, Fallon. We're still living up to our reputation of having the best dance decorations of the year. Our Junior Prom was a masterpiece of flowers and arbors and laurel. But the orchestra--did they have to take a vacation between each dance? Well!!! we finally agreed on something: our class rings. A good-bye party for nPikeyn sent our classmate off to the Navy with good wishes. Grade lil Seniors--after twelve years of bool: cracking Cahemll.

In pops a new student with the coincidental name Dean Brown. He's a plain, u var- nished.knerican boy, simply unmindful of his many educational short- comings, yet frank and breezy as youth can be. His name electrifies the group of students and then the fum begins. Dean is assigned one of the girls as his secretary. The Registrar persists in giving Dean an advance on his salary. Poor fellow, he's thrown overboard in a be- wildering maze of riotous happenings. When the real Dean comes along he's mistaken for an escaped lunatic.

I HALLOWE'EN PARTY An entirely new innovation made this year's Hallcwe'en Party the best ever presented, both socially and financially. The entire hall was appropriately decorated by the various classes. The sophomores won the booth prize with an enormous nHumptyfDu pty' booth. The Fresh- man Jungle booth, the Junior's nBig Apple,' the eighth grade game room the seventh grade judge's booth and the senior's general decorations. Each booth sold refreshments or grabs. However, it was the entertainment provided by each class that stole the show. The junior high grades put on a costume march. The Freshmen sponsored a military drill highlighted by geniune service uni- forms. A very entertaining act was put on by the Sophomores in the fcnn of a series of nursery'rhymes in pantomime. 'Jack be nimble,n 'The Butcher, the Baker, and Candlestick4Maker,' and 'Jack and Jill' were several of the most notable rhymes enacted. The Juniors put on a Virginia Reel with all the participants agrqriately garbed. The High light of the evening and the prize winning program was presented by the Seniors. Gayly dressed in vivid South American costumes and led by Jean Burnap, six senior girls danced the samba to the music of 'Brazil.n The senior boys acted as patrons of a night club in which the girls were dancing. Gracefully and oolcrfully executed, the samba brought down the house. CHRISTMAS PARTY On December 21, 1946, the annual Christmas Party was held in 'the high school auditorium. Two small plays 'Everybody 'Likes fPretty Things' and nWear a Christmas Smile' were presented by the Freshmen Class. After the Assembly everyone went to their home rooms and re- freshments were served by the Junior Class. Some of the classes voted to exchange gifts, others voted to buy war stamps . After refreshments were served, dancing followed for the rest of the afternoon . YEARBOOK PARTY To celebrate the completion of the yearbook, the editorial staff plans to conduct a small party. When and if the final page rolls off the mimeograph machine, the staff will heave a sigh of relief and set- tle down to some well-earned refreshments. The long search for inspi- rations, the hours of typing, the manv revolutions of the mimeograph will be over. The year book will be ready for the binders--and we'll aH.be ready for a party. 4 cw T FRESHMAN FROLIC The Freshman Frolic was held in the high school auditorium October ll, 1945. The decorations were based on a woodland theme giving the impression of a gypsy camp-Tbere'was a booth decorated with leaves and colored lights at the center bock,a camphfire in the left hand corner, and bright colored leaves along'the walls. During the evening several of the girls,dressed as gypsies,sang around the campfire. Rfzreshments were served throughout the evening and music was furnished by Joe DiSando's Orchestra. SOPHOMORE HOP The annual Sophomore Hop was held in the high school auditoriun Friday, April 26, 1946. George Wellington's Trio provided the music. The decorations were based on a college theme with colorful pen- nants bearing the initials of various colleges. The pennants were hung from the balcony and about the hall. The class colors of maroon and gold formed the basis of the decoration scheme. JUNIOR PRQII , The Junior Prom was held April 12 in the high school hall where a large crowd attended. The hall was beautifully decorated idth flowerS with a background of laurel. The balcony was draped with a rope of flowers. From the ceiling hung strearers which formed a beau- tiful covering for the dancers. The grand march was led by the class officers. Music was furnished by' uThe Blue Jackets' for the dancing which followed the grand march. ' SENIOR'PRGM As we go to press, plans for the annual Senior Prom are well u - derway. May 24 has been set as the date for this important social event. The decorations will revolve about a crystal ball suspended from the ceiling. A battery of colored spotlights will enhance the beauty of the crystal ball. Following the Grand March, which will be led by the class officers, Wally Congram's orchestra will furnish mu- sic for dancing. mailman A943 cgi, During the winter end spring months, station WEIM of Fitchburg conducted the Whchusett Quiz Program. Students from the sophomore, junior,,and senior classes of Fitchburg, Leominster, Ashby, Townsend, and Lunenburg high schools were present on the program. Each Wednes- day evening at 8:00 P. M. three contestants from two high schools faced each other across the microphones. In the Afirst round, the Lu enburg high seniors, Ann Jandron, Floyd Riley, and Esther Aho, lost to the Leominster high seniors. The juniors, Carol Huntington, Molly Hidden, Norman Page, and Howard Hyt- tinen had better luck in the second round, winning the first contest, but losing to Fitchburg the second time. In a second senior 'round, the Lunenburg representatives lost a close contest by one point to Fitchburg. The sophomores, Constance Brown, John Kenney, and Richard Rand won their first two quizzes, only to lose to Leominster. Much credit should be given to the 'Quiz Kids' who so ably repre- sented Lu enburg high school on the program, to the teachers who as- sisted the students in preparing for the ouizzcs, and to Mr. Ksrkos who accompanied the students to each program. 7:70120 lynn an f The annual Public Speaking Contest was held in the high school auditorium February 15, 1946, and was sponsored by the Parent-Teachers Association.

Lining up with Emma Harvey, Molly Hidden, and Ann Harley as forwards, and Captain Ruth Simon, Esther Aho, and Ann Jandron as guards, the girls didn't have the experience necessary to defeat their Alumnae, The first half was played on even terms, but it was the Alumnae all the way in the second half. HOLLIS Crossing the state line to play Hollis, New Hampshire, the girls came through with a 45-15 victory. The team showed signs of rounding into a fast, hard-playing sextet. The guards covered the Hollis for- wards very closely while the forwards worked their plays effectively . The subs gave a very good showing of themselves. With faced Groton in threat, the tall Ruthie Simon as footed Ann Harley GROTON their eyes on a ninth Wachusett League crown, the girls the first league contest of the season. Groton' s Jane Ferguson, was effectively covered by Captain the team swept to a decisive 50-15 win. The fleet- gernered 20 points to lead the scoring parade. PEPPERELL The second league game against the Pepperell girls proved to be a thriller. The aggressive Pepperell guards again and again bottled up Lunenburg's offense. The entire Pepperell team out-fought the girls in the first half, but Lunenburg came back strong in the second half to win 33-15. The guards seemed to have invented a new system of guarding. TOWN S END Townsend! The game against Lunenhurg's traditional rival was al- ways a toss-up. The girls played a hard, fast game and won 44-31. Polly Rutherford was Townsend's main threat, scoring 15 points, but Lunenburg's forward field proved too fast for the opposing guards. The gane was an exciting cortest played before a capacity crowd of partisan rooters. AYER hHth Ayer tied with Lunenburg for first place in the league, the next game was a decisive one. The forwards couldn't seem to click and the first quarter ended in a O-O score. While the guards were doing a Herculean job of holding the Ayer forwards down, the forwards finally found the basket enough to drop in 50 points against Ayer's 14. Lunen- burg now held undisputed first place in the league. t ' ALUMNAE The second encounter with the Alu nae was one of the most excit- ing and well played games of the sensor. With the lead changing hands many times during the gave, the girls were one point behind with only seconds to play. Gaining the ball on some qpick passes, Ann Harley raced in for a fine u der-the-basket shot and victory for the high achool. LITTLETON Annexing another league victory over the Littleton girls, the Lunenburg team continued to play steidy basketball. Peggy Deming led the 56 point scoring attack with nine baskets while the guards heldthe opposition to 20 markers. The subs played much of the game. WESTFORD Although the girls played a slow, sluggish g.me against a peppy Westford team, they won 35-14. The Westford teams really put on a good show with an excellent copy of the sportsmanship code hanging in their hall and pictures being taken of the teams for newspaper copy. ASHBY With the team clicking aglin, the girls swept to a 45-17 decision over Ashby, finishing the first half of the Whchusett League schedule undefeated.Emnn Harvey and Ann Harley led the offense while the guards turned in their usual dependable game. Again, the subs were N'given an opportunity to gain valuable experience. GROTON t The girls' second win over the Groton girls was a'42-21 victory. Molly Hidden was top man with 16 points. The girls weren't quite in top form for they threw the bell away too much. . PEPPERELLT This 41-21 win over Pepperell was a thrilling contest for the Lunenburg girls. The first two quarters were very evcnly played with the Pepperell guards once agahlbreaking up Lunenburg's offense. The local guards hed trouble stopping Baraby's pivot shot under the bas- ket. Ann Harley tossed in 28 points for Lunenburg. ' TOWNSEND Townsend, again! Those games are battles of nerves as well as basketball battles. They started fast in the first quarter, but Lun- enburg come back strong to pull into the lead and win 46-16. The see- ond half was a guard's dream---only one Townsend floor goal and three foul shots, only four baskets from the floor in the entire game. HOLLIS Again the guards held the opposition to four baskets while four Lunenburg forwards hit double figures to pile up the largest score of the season. The subs played much of the game and gained valuable ex- perience in the 65-10 rout. LITTLETON Although the girls won by the sizable margin of 56-21 they didn't seem to play with thier usual vim and vigor. The game was slow and the girls didn't handle the ball with their regular smoothness. Ann and Molly again lead the scoring attack. AYER In winning this contest the girls clinched the Wachusett League title., Now they strived to finish the league undefeated. The 'Ayer guards once again played Lunenburgfs forwards very closely, but they couldn't hold the swift point gettcrs from hooping'39 points. The guards held Ayer to 14 pointso WESTFORD Although Molly was sick with the mumps the girls won 30-12 be- cause of their very capable subs. The guards: for the third thne, held the opposing team to four baskets from the floor. ASHBY Lunenburg's last league gave. If the girls won, they'd have fin- ished the league undefeatede They started off fast leading 20-8 at the half. But Ashby cane back strong in the second half out-scoring them 18-15 on some lucky shots. It was u fast game that threatened to spill off Ashby's small court. The girls won, 55-26 anyway, and fin- ished the league undefeated. FORT DEVENS As a warm-up for the Littleton tournament the girls played the Fort Devens girls on the huge arena floors They were forced to play without Ruthie Simon whose trick knee was acting ups The game was very close with the ltad see-sawing back and forth, It finally ended in a 17-17 tie. LITTLETON TOURNAMENT First Round: Ayer Golly, what a game! Ruthie's knee still kept her out of action. Ayer really wanted to beat Lunenburg. The forwards couldn't seem to find the basket at all, Althouah the guards held Ayer to five bas- kets, the forwards could collect only seven from the floor, But three points C19-16, were enough to win the contest.

Rev calling the fantastically thrilling game of the previous year between the two finalists, thc Lunenburg girls and the Conant girls, 'the spectators expectej another thrilling contest. The two teams were a- gain of championship caliber: Conant having won the Monadnock League and Lunenburg, the Wuchusett League, both enjoying undefeated seasons. Because of' their excellent showing in thc tourney, particularly the play of the sensational Phyllis Morrill, the Conant team was the pre-I game favorite. Although Lunenburg hid difficulty getting to the game, their bus being delayed, the girls entered the fray with u dctcrminoi, nevar-say-die spirit. The first quarter was very even with the two teams playing care- fully. clash tcem made use of its speed uni clever training to set up scoring plays. ns the quarter cndc', Conant lcd 7-6 with both teams yet to show their rcul worth. c ' The second quarter found the cfanly balanced teams again' playing on equdl terms. Time and again, clovmr plays and spectacular shots brought the frantically cheering rooters out of their salts. Lunenburg left the floor ot thc half with u 17-15 advantage. An inspired Conant toum came back strong in the third quarter to score eleven points against Luncnburgfs six.. The Conant crpwd went wild as the fourth quarter started with o 26-23 Conant m rgin. . That was all Lunenburg needed. Peggy Deming. diminutive forward inserted into the. game in the last quarter, scored five important. points and seemed to give the girls on important lift just when 'they needed it most. While Ann Harley and Molly Hidden were pumping in the winning points, the Lunenburg guoris were doing o ,marvelous job of holding down the Conant forwards. Ruthie Simon and Joan Kenney held Conant's speedy high-scorer, horrill, to one field goal in the entire game. Lunenburg, scoring 14 points to Conant's one in the last quarter, roared to a 37-27 victory ------ their sfcond Littleton tourna- ment CFQWU.. The girls certainly showed they were true champions by comingifrom behind to score-i decisive win. The team had the fighting spirit and teamwork that marks champions. f Lunenburg made a clean sweep of the Littleton tournament, placing Ann Harley and Ruth Simon on the all-star team, winning the foul shook ing contest with Barbara Whrpule's excellent shooting and having their own captain, Ruth Simon, named the outstanding player of the tourna- ment. The-most important member of the squad wus the coach, Mrs. ihrgar- et Hurley. Every win of tho team wus the result of her untiring traind ing and planning.

Paul Gale gave up only four hitsg Riley, Sclovei, and Gale each had two hits to lead the hitting attack. The third game ended in a 5-O loss to the Shirley Industrial school with Solovei getting thc only hit. It was another tough loss for nwindyn Gale. A 28-13 win over Pepperell in the fourth fray put Lunenburg in the win column. Everybody hitg Ed Balcom was the winning pitcher. Lunenburg's second win over Ashby followed with Laurie Gale the winning hurler by a 14-8 score. Solovei, Paul Gale, Riley and Deming hit well for the winners.

With not very good ball handling and shooting, the high school boys defeated their alumni 28-21. The team although winning, didn't look very impressive. HOLLIS The second game of the young season found Lunenhurx romping to a very decisive 65-23 victory over Hollis in Hollis. With subs playing more than half the game und with Hurley and Mulligan leading the way with 20 and 16 points respectively, the boys looked as though they might have found themselves and were ready to roll on all fours. GROTON The third same found the boys taking up where they left off when they defeattd Groton 59-22. Once again Burley with 19 and Riley with ll made the Groton cause look hopeless, This was the first game in the Wechusett League and hopes were high for o championship. PEPPERELL In the fourth game of the season, Luncnburg's hopes were smashed against the rocks when an under-rated Pcpperoll team defeated the boys 55-24. With Burley leaving the game in the first half and Okerman early in the second, the team could never seem to get rolling und thus met its first reverse of the season. TOWNSEND In the first game with Townsend, Lunenburg lost 35-34 but it was a disputed game and hod to be played over. In the replay, Lunenburg knocked off the highly rated Townsend team 33-27. With the schoal packed to capacity and with wild cheering by everybody, Lunenburg held the quick breaking Townsend team to one basket in the first half und thus lcd 14-5. The sgcond half proved a killer-diller but Lunenburg fought all the way to the mire and came out on top. The whole team played well all the wuy and Mulligan led the scoring with 14 ooints. AYER With renewed spirit and added fight the boys defeited Ayer 47-21 to stay in the race for the Wochusett crown. Driving hard in thefirst half and with the whole forward field of Burley, hmlligan and Riley all scoring evenly,Lunenburg pulled ahead steadily and was never heed- Edo LITTLETON The seventh game found the boys team in the pink of condition when Littleton was buried under 66-53. The whole teum scored at will and with Burley loading the parade with 20 points, the loyal rootcrs of Lunenburg once more were high in spirit. WESTFORD Traveling to play a highly rated Westford team.at Westford with- out their high scoring center Bob Burley, the boys' team was in doubt of the outcome. With Riley coming from his forward spot and James Deming proceeding to a forward position the 2 teams battled on even terms for the first half. In the third quarter Lunenburg increased their lead to only 4 uncertain points but in the final period, the boys caught fire and pulled out to a 55-l8 victory. Ri1ey's 10 and Mulligan's 8 were high for Lunenburg that night. ASHBY Once more we found a strong opponent in Ashby facing a Lunenburg team again without Burleyg Riley again took over at the pivot spot . With Ashby leading 22-21 at half time, the boys rallied and in the third quarter fought to a commanding 56-26 lead. The final score read 50-40 in favor of Lunenburg and left everyone in the hall a nervous wreck. The entire team deserves credit for the wing Mulligan and Oker- man, scoring l6 and 15 points apiece, were Lunenburg's top men. GROTON With Burley back in the line-up the boys'toam journeyed to Groton and played one of the dullest and uninteresting games of the season. The final score read 25-15 with Lunenburg the victor. There was a dc- uuided let down in this game and could have proved costly if a stronger foe had been their opponent. PEPPLRLLL In the next game they faced the Peppcrell team, which had f dc- featcd Lunenburg before, and the hall was packed. Sweet revenge was put in the books that night as the boys' team rolled over Pepperell . The scores of the quarters were 8 to 1, 22 to 5, 52 to 5 and with subs playing, the last quarter 42-16. The scoring wis very even that night with.Mulligan with lO and Burley, arnold, and Okerman tossing in 8 a- piece. TOWNSLND In the second game against Townsend, Lunenburg lost 55-22. With the whole team way off form and very poor shooting, Lunenburg trailed all the way. With no one person doing much scoring, the loyal rooters of Lunenburg were disappointed. This game cost Lunenburg the champion- ship of the Wachusett League. ' HOLLIS With the Hollis team from N. H. as the visitor, Lunenburg rudely trampled them 57-28. The big guns for Lunenburg that night were Riley with 16 points,l4 of them in the first qunrterg and Bob Burley with 15 The first team played only the first quarter in which they piled up a lead 25-5 and a little of the last. LITTLETON The fourteenth game of the season found Lunenburg gunning for win number 12 against 2 set-books. Littleton was the team doomed to be victim number 12 and they lost by the score of 52-55. With the score close ut the first half,Lunenburg pulled out nheid in the second half and was going away when the ggme ended. Burley, ihlligin and Okermnn all gained oiints to lead Lunenburg in their 12th victory. AYER Victory number 13 was not any problem at all when Ayer fell by the way 59-22. With the score reading 19 to 7, 40 to ll and then with subs playing all the rest of the way, 'Lunenburg vis never in trouble. Riley and Burley, both pouring 18 points through the nets were the big guns for the night. WHSTFORD Westford wus next in order und, as they had been hefcre, were defeated 46-17. Once more Lunenburg hid little triuble und hud a wide 28-8 lead at the half. The scoring for the night was quite even .with Burley's ll, Riley's lO,1nd Mulligdn's 8 leading the way for victory number 14. , AiSH?3Y On the cramped gym of Ashby and in one of the toughest games of the season, Lunenburg defeutcd u vary good Ashby teun 22-17. With d hard fight all the wuy and with no one person diing much scoring, our team gained a well eurntd victory. Ending the regular seuson with this game, the boys had won 15 games and had lost 2. Going into the tournament their final rseird wus 16 und 3. WORCESTER TOURNAMENT First Round: GRAFTON The Lunenburg bays opened in the tourney with Grzfton.

C 1 Norma Harley The girls' softball team under the very capable coaching of Mrs. Nhrgaret Harley had a very successful season. Although they played only three games, the girls showed the results of their numerous prac- tices by winning overwhelmingly. In the first game with the Shrewsbury girls, the Lunenburg team won l7-6. Ruth Simon with a homer and two singles and Ann Harley with three singles were the heavy hitters. Emma Harvey struck out ten bat- ters and allowed but two hits. Townsend was defeated 20-O in a no-hit game in which all three of the L. H. S. pitchers participated. Pegfy Deming with three hits was Lunenburg's heavy sticker. The girls' second win over Shrewsbury was a 27-O rout. Again, the three pitchers did exceedingly well limiting the opposition to two hits. Ruth Simon, Peggy Deming, and Joan Jenny hit very well and Norma Harley did a great job of backstopning. gf , .,..

The boat was nothing more than an almost indiscernable gray mass, blending with the grayness of the day. A bit of moisture trickled down my cheek, I didn't know whether it was rain or ---- well it didn't matter now, anyhow. l Constance Brown PORTRAIT OF A MURDERER A large portly man turned on the dinky light on the wall and' sat limply on the cot in the corner. He yanked his half open greyish white shirt from his hair ladened body and removed his muddy shoes tossing them across the room. He looked very tired but his eyes stared into space. Sweat camo from every pore in his body and his hands shook as he attempted to wipe it from h s face. There was a knock on the door. Our friend jumped from the bed and stood petrified as the door slowly opened. A policeman stood, gun in hand with a grim look on his face. uO.R. Blackie come along quiet- ly. The jigs up.N Blackic's mouth fell open and than he said as if gaining new found strength, nYou'll never get me,copper. I guess if I've get nerve enough to kill one guy, I've got nerve enough to kill two.n Q At that Blackie raised his gun to fire but the policeman shot first. nO.K. boys drag him out,N said the policeman as he replaced his gllflo Nancy Docekal MY UNLUCKY DAY When I was about nine years old my father bought me a pony. She was small, but fast. Fred Clay and I would ride around through the fields playing cowboys and Indians. we would wear only dungarees and hats, no shoes and that was all. Even our horses were stripped down. We rode without saddles just bareback. This was real fun. One Sunday morning I was sitting in the house and Mr. Winchester rode by on a beautiful bay mare. Ho had a nice saddle and bridle on her. He was dressed in white trousors,a sport shirt and fine leather gloves. I said to myself if he can look so classy so can I. The following evening I spent polishing my saddle and bridle. The next Sunday I brushed my pony and got dressed. I were white pants, shoes and shirt with a bright blue necktie. I borrowed my mother's kid gloves and started off at a slow walk. I was really enjoying myself. Slowly my neck was getting sore and I got sick and tired of riding like this. I came to an open field with a small brook running through it. I headed my pony across it at full speed. I thought my pony would jump the little brook. When we got about five feet away from the brook my pony stopped, but I kept right going. I landed on my stomach in the mud. From then on I was satisfied with riding bareback with dungarees on. Raymond Chapdelaine IN PASSING The sun hung heavy in the western sky. The dull weariness that seems to settle over the earth as the sun sets on a hot day, envelop- ed the countryside. From my station by the telephone I could see through the window the careless growth of trees and shrubs surround- ing our home. A thin heat haze hid each separate twig and leaf from my eyes. The sudden sweeping of a young robin past the window seemed incongruous with the feeling of the moment. Then, as if by u sign from an unseen maestro, the crickets began their evening serenade, their steady, even bass the accompaniment for the melody of the birds. The shadows deepenedg the serenade became a hum in my memoryg the quiet and peace and loneliness that is evening descended. Within, the peace of evening had settled. The hustle and living of thc day had ended quietly, the house seemed empty and lonesome. My dog lay at my feet, sleeping. Occasionally, his body twitched,as though a demon strode through his dreams. On a cushion, my kitten purred contentedly. Both animals, free from the problems and suffer- ings of man, still understood the tiredness, the tranquillity and,yet, the foreboding that evening brings. The darkness was deeper inside. The outlines of the furniture were hidden in shadows. A beam from the dying sun played over the ebony telephone as if in prophecy. My grandmother's face smiled down on me from the wall. Ny loneliness caused me to recognize in her face the sadness, the struggle, the many evenings such as this one that she had spent. My bookcase, the source of so much joy te me in the past, seemed to contain only sad- ness: war, struggle, death. The radio, which had brought good news, seemed only to have brought sad news of war, of struggle, of death . My albums of records scfmed to contain only Mozart and Beethoven: no- thing light, nothing gay ---- only heavy ---- and sad. As the room grew'darker, memories of that room arose in my mind. The little blonde boy, so quiet, so good, so beloved, seemed to be reading in his regular place. That endearing little smile played across his features. His frailness, his inner strength that begged for compassion seemed a part of the room. And the others: the tele- gram from the war department, the news from Finland, the news of Grandmother's death ------ sadness, just sadness, and death. Why? Why? Where was the joy, the cheery side of life? At this moment, especial- ly, where was something to hope for? The clock ticked off the seconds, the minutes, that were pass- ing forever. My heart kept time with the ticks. I tried to curb the desperation and futility that arose within me. Life is not eternal, but neither is it futile. Yet, five is so young, so very young to have to go. But what can I de? The calmness, the dullness of the evening sattlvd once 'more over my mind. The ticking of the clock faded into the stillness. My eyes became heavy, my senses dulled, as though I were in a stupor. The ring of the telephone slashed through the stillness. Panic beat away my drowsinessg terror gripped my heart. Then, a dull ac- ceptance, a sense of futility overcame mc. Hello. He has gone. I quietly replaced the receiver. The clock ticked on. The darkv est moment of my life had passed. Esther Aho The first quenoy. There this important delinquency is might call it, . I-sf qv I'.-..n'h 's .L DANGERS CONFRONTING OUR COUNTRY danger which causes much concern is juvenile delin- are many people who would have different ideas about question. But I think the main reason for juvenile the lack of home supervisiong many children, as you bring themselves up. Their parents care not where they are or what they are doing. They are never told what is right and what is wrong. If children are allowed to do what they wish,when they wish to do it, they are getting the wrong ideas on life. Of course, we know that this question became of very great concern dur- ing the war. Both parents were working on war jobs and no one was at home to give the necessary guidance which is important for every child, so that when he grows up he will be a good law-abiding citizerh Another problem which is being discussed to a great extent is compulsory military training. Some persons think it is a good idea from the point of view of discipline. Boys who never obey laws cerr tainly would obey rules in the army. Some people feel 'that this would be dangerous for a free country for the reason that it is comr polling them to train during peacetime. Of course if they are suffi- ciently trained during peacetime it would make it much easier if our country went to war again. With compulsory military training, we would at least be prepared for whatever might strike. On the other hand, there is much talk of a future depression in our country. The rising of prices causes inflation because the prices go so high that the people cannot afford to buy the products. During a depression there is little money in circulation and the prices on the goods are lowered because the people have not the money to buy them with. This results from millions of people being jobless. During a depression many people are laid off of their jobs and when they sock a job there are none to be had. Labor unions are the next big issue confronting our country today. Some labor unions are thought of as being very dangerous to our country's welfare. Labor unions are the main cause of strikes because they ask the companies to pay more wages to the workers. When the companies refuse, then the workers ge on a strike. Of course, there are good points to a labor union. They are the ones that secure higher wages for the workers. Strikes cause the stopping of work and this causes the shortage of goods. Black markets are the result of shortage of goods. A few people get some goods that are very scarce and then sell them at prices high above the ceiling price This causes much confusion and many people do not want to buy black market goodsg therefore they go without. Everyone should avoid black markets and try to destroy them. I One more serious problem in the world today is another future war. Nhny of the newspapers are talking of a future war with Russia. Of course, no one really knows what will happen, but it is best to be prepared for whatever strikes. The atom-bomb is talked about a great deal now also. Many persons think that the Russians have the formula for producing the atom-bomb. Also many feel that if the A-Bomb is used during a future war, it will destroy all creation. There is no question that the Atom-Bomb is very powerful. Everyone should try to destroy the great dangers which are con- fronting cur country. Louise Hutchinson THE WORLD wt LIVE IN Convention is the corner-stone of society. Millions of people live by its laws and almost as many hqte it. Then why do they obey it? Because they know no other life. From birth they are the commonplace, stolid citizens put into this world for the sole purpose of continuing civilization. They are the type of people who compose a township, who are necessary to a community but who have nothing to give life, except life. Deep in their hearts they long for escape, they long to drip all the pretenscs of life and to live as they were intended to live, as their emotions determine that they should live. But society is stronger than desire, it is master of the human race. Msn lives in a current more powerful than himself. He is caught, as on the waves of a mighty tide, in the flow of convention and is tossed from fashion to fashion until finally he finds it impossible to extricate himself. Yes, 1 great majority of the human rece hates the ,superficial shame of society. They hate the dictate of fashion and style but from infancy it is before them and it is so over-whelming that they soon lose the desire ---- or perhaps it is courage, to fight it. They are like a herd of stempeding cattle, pushed along by one central emotiong if they stop they are trampled and if they uttc -' pt to esoipi thly are pulled back and pushed on. Neither is there escape for the ordinary many he has not the intrepidity. It requires greater volition than he possesses for society is cruel and the desire is week. He becomes a nsocial elimbern and fights against man for honors--the shallow honors of an object position and the worthless frivelities of money. But,he is happy---not often does he allow himself to dwell on his lack of freedom, some people do not even know that they are not free yet can there be real emotions in this world? sro not even love und honor modified to o degree? I think so for when all other traits are dimmed mnnnerisns, habits, dress---it is inevitable that his mind he un- affected, its glory dulled and stinted.

But it is not an easy thing to do, as any human person thinks he is right and the other person is wrong. Yes, it seems easy enough to-Bee the other pcrson's point of view. Here is how you can train yourself to do this. First ----- Nhke a point, a very important ont, to keep your temper where it belongs. Don't yell and scream at the other person that he's all wrong. Talk to him normally and quietly. This is one thing wholly wrong with the world. Everyone's temper gets the best of him. So remember not to lose your temper. Second--Talk over the Nquostionn quietly and come to a reasonable decision.

Kenneth Goodell TECHNICOLOR DREAM Awakening from my scintillating technicolor dream in which I fan- tastically imagined myself a prototype of the beauteous Esther Wil- liens, I found myself being dragged from the train by my faithful com- panion, Marge. Yes, after my ten day sojourn at the Red Cross National Aquotio School situated at South Hanson, Massachusetts, I had fanciful visions of vying with that famed saquatic star for swimming honors in Hollywood. But a dream like a rainbow colored bubble can all to soon be shattereda Harge's rebuffs for my absent minded conduct were enough to obliterate my most profou d hallucinations. Here we were at the South Hanson station waiting to be conveyed to our destination. After a short ride in oomo into o full view of tho Camp. Surrounded by majestic, verdant pines and swaying birches camp Kiwanis nestled in a picturescue spot on the shore of a sparkling lake Truly an ideal location for instruction in aquatic sports. ' After registration we hastened to find a bunk in one of the thirty cabins. large and I were several hours late, so we had unex- pected difficulty in finding vacant cots. We explored the circle of cabins without success. However, in one hut we had noticed space for bedsg therefore we deposited our bags and dufflcs on the floor just as the dinner bell rang. To be sure we shouldn't be deprived of our places by some other tardy student, we marked these menacing words on the floor--uKeep off! Place reserved.' Then off we rushed to dinner. Zoundsi Just in time! Such a ravonoug group and such a hub-bubl It certainly looked like a jovial time ahead. Immediately after the meal a meeting of all students was called. During this assembly we were given our schedules and introduced to our instructors under whose competent guidance in boating, swimming and first aid we gained the valuable experience most necessary to our sum- mer jobs in camps, city pools or Red Cross water safety programs. The urgency of having our physical examinations completed by the end of that day was also impressed upon us. Immediately after we were dis- missed, everyone bolted for the doctor's office. Of course two hu - dred examinations in less than u half hour is a physical impossibility for any physician, so three quarters of the students reported to class without so much as a peek inside the doctor's office. ' Everyone vms very attentive, wide awake and full of vim and vigor on that first day not even daunted by the immense amount of literature to be covered before the end of the course. . After supper all the students seized their books and again made a mad rush for the dtctor's office. There we sat for three solid hours attempting to read a line or two between yawns. But once again we were dismissed with a curt, nCome back tomorrow. That's all for to- night.n we were a tired, disgusted and dejected group until from out of the crowd came this booming voice, Holy cats! By the time we get in to see the doctor, we'll be too old to take the course.' with that our depression lifted, and saying goodnight we slowly wended our way back to our cabins. There we became acquainted with our room mates who proved to be very interesting and congenial. As several of the girls had attended aquatic school the previous year, they helped us to become orientated and accustomed to the camp routine. All went smoothly for the next few days--physical examinations were a thing of the past--surburns were row the burning problems. Ouch! Did they hurt! Due to' the retarded season no one had acquired a basic tan. Instead we were obliged to take the su in large doses which was not conducive to comfort and good humor. Our spirits were revived, however, when discovered that we were to be entertained by an aquatic demonstration on Sunday. lhe feature attraction of the exhibition was the stunt of swimming through flaming TECHNICOLOR DREAM fcontinuedl oil by using a variation of the breast stroke. In another interesting display we were shown how the various branches of tho armed forces caused stretchers to float so that the wounded could be transported across water. To accomplish this, inflated pairs of trousers. were placed at intervals along wooden or iron stretchers. Canoeing, boat- ing and swimming races were executed by the students. Our cabin had the distinction of winning the relay race prize. .r .- On Monday we began to think of exams and the books we hadn't read. Procrastination, always my besetting sin, made it necessary for me to cram to catch up. However, I managed to pass the examinations and re- ceived my certification as a Water Safety Instructor. we were fortunate to train under some of the finest aquatic in- structors in the country: Commodore Longfellow, the first life saver in the United Statesg Cal Bryant, the author of all the Red Cross swimming and diving textbooks and Roger Hawthorne who had accompanied Admiral Byrd on his last expedition to the South Pole. He called us to our boating class each day with those words,nLast call for boating. Hurry! Hurry! Hubba, hubba, hubbaln f After ten days at Camp Kiwanis my dreams no longer soared to such extravagant heights as previously. No, I fully realized there was a great deal more to becoming an aquatic champion than just technicolor dreams. Ann Jandron WHAT I HAVE GAINED BY ATTENDING HIGH SCHOOL ' Occasionally I surprise mysclf by seeming to know something and then I feel that I have accomplished a great deal during my four high school years. The next moment the jocund feeling departs leaving in its place a true sense of value. I discover that I know far loss than I imagined was possible after having practically completed my fourth year of high school. Languages?? Yes, I have had a smattering of Latin and Frenchg but today I know very little more about these two str.nge languages than I knew four years ago last September 4th. English has been so easy,just a cinch you know, that one just glides by leaving almost all the know- ledge in the books where it originally came from. lhth has been hard- erg therefore, a little more studying, but it still seems that know- ledge hates to leave those books. History has been too easy to bother with. UBN is high enough if no studying has to be put into it. Oh! Oh! here comes Chemistryu lmch to hard to understand so I just forgot about that and so did the teachers. Biology was definitely fun. Here again most of the knowledge stayed in the booksg but I do remember a little about the microscopic animals and the human body, though very little it is. Socially, I am a flop. I learned to dance in my eighth year of school and have gradually lost this knowledge too. I attended parties now and then, but our class was always at swords points so most of the pleasant memories have fled with the wind. All that I have learneiso- cially is how to breeze by quickly. All that has kept me going is sports and more sports! Moat of my pleasant memories are of field or court. I understand the rules of the games but forgot how to play them and to apply these rules. Four years of sports has left me less tired and still in high spirits. This ends my brief sketch of what I have pained by attending high school.

Sometimes I wonder where the writers of these ubooks' come from and what kind of people they can be to write such material for the young people of America. The writers of these books, with no doubt, make large profits when young people continue to buy this kind of serviceman lying in hospitals for the sole purpose of passing hours away.

W Shirley Lancey MY DREAM I see the game from the substitute's bench. as I watch the game, my mind is not on the game---it is dreaming of the day when I will be on the first team. The coach will give me the sign that I had been hoping for, to go into the game as halfback. In the game I amin- structed by the quarter back to take the ball on an end run. I get the ball and as I start to run with it everybody else is running too, some with me, some against me. The ground under me is speeding fast. I am behind my interference and each one takes out a man that might takC m0 down. Now there are no men in front of me but the men on the other team. I have gained five yards. Out-running one man and dodging another. I am in the clear and the touchdown that I made is theminning one, But it is only a dream.

Then the tank stopped andthe gun went into action, When the smoke cleared, they were rumbling down the street that led into the town. The street was gray and empty, but 100 yards ahead of them, blocking their path, was a strange bulking object, a German tank. For a second there wus silence and then, the awful announcement: 'We're hit! Run for itl' A sheet of flame lept up behind him.

Our nation would like to be able to say, even before this campaign comes to a conclu- sion, that we subscribers of series E bonds will reach our quota. In- variably it is the corporations, not the individuals, who oversub- scribe their quota. All our fighting men are certainly contributing their bit to this world wide conflict, some even sacrificingtheir lives and limbs, but can it be said that each and every one of us is doing our share? Naturally most of us have bought bonds throughi e payroll deduction plans, but this is not enough. Bonds must be bought on the outside as well. Here is another point to remember. Every bond you buy, you should keep! Never cash in a bond unless it is ab- solutely necessary. When you invest your nwney in a war bond, you are not only help- ing to win the war, but you are helping yourself to have an amountcf money saved up which can be used after total victory is proclaimed.. The rate of interest which you earn is better than that which any bank offers at the present tinw. You can rest assured that your investment is a safe and sure one. I am confident that the citizens of the United States will invest in War Bonds to the fullest extent of our capacity. We will give our fighting men not only the needed implements of war, but the assurance and backing of a united people ---- to hasten the victory and speed the return of our fighting men. We will truly make this the mighty 7th. Carol Huntington A GREAT DAY FOR THE IRISH In this story, any similiarity to any person living or dead is purely his own fault. It was the 32nd day of May and in ammeuth Mulligan Stadium in Dublin, the Green Terrors were leading the Shamrocks 44-41 in one of the most thrilling baseball games of the season. Patrick O'Brien was having an exceptionally fine day pitching for the Grren Terrorsg he had been able to bean eleven of the Shamrocks. Houligan was also do- ing a great pitching job for the Shamrocks. He had had the honor of knocking out Mike lhloney, the Terrors' slugger, five times. As we pick up the game, it is going into the last of the ninth and the Shamrocks are trailing, 44-41. They have the bases loaded with two men out. COne of them a knockout., Crawling up to the plate is Philip O'Day. O'Brien winds up and the ball flys toward the plate. 99,994 people stand up and roar as O'Day swings and misses. O'Brien winds up again---O'Day gets set---the ball is coming up fast. O'Day lets it go by, two feet over his head and five feet out side. The Umpire cries, WStrike TWOIN After twenty-five minutes of fist fights, hitting each other over the head with bats, biting, kicking, etc., the game is continued. O'Day is mad and picks up his favorite bat which is eight feet long, has Q circumference of two feet, and weighs sixty- eight pounds, fourteen opnoes., O'Brien lets the ball go. All that can be seen is a white streak of lightning as the ball streaks toward the plate. There is a deafen- ingly loud crack and 99,902 C92 people having been carried out on stretchersl go into a termeil. Hats, p pers, beer bottles,:0h11dr9n, umpires---all fly into the air. O'Day has been hit on the head by the ball and it is sailing out toward left field! It continues to sail right over the left field wall for a 1,291 foot home run! With police, army and marine contingents for an escort O'Day staggers around the bases. ' As we leave the mammouth Mulligan Stadium, we think that we will stick to the veryngissified game of football. Floyd Riley ,, ,...--...-...N-W -,..., f. .::p, ,.
