Most of you men were among us even a year ago, and today the ever- widening gap left by your departure is all too noticeable. It becomes even more so when the list is read, for, it is a long list for a school of our size. Yet it is typical-since it is demonstrative of every other school in every other town in this country and in others. Many who still remain will soon join you in the Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Air Corps, or Marines. For it is a glorious example that has been set by you who already are serving. But is not war a glorious thing? Doesn't the booming of guns, the waving of flags, the feel of a uniform, the tread of marching feet, the sound of the bugle, exemplify this glory? Fear not, absent comradesg we at home are not fooled-not one of us. Every American realizes the true situation. We know the real story- the story of dirt and fatigue, misery and pain, work and sweat, homesick- ness and despair. We know that War is Hell , whether at the front or training in camp. But don't we owe something to our country-a country which, thank God, is still free? We are indebted to an infinite degree. We all are pay- ing-especially you boys. It is the greatest of sacrifices to leave our homes in these times. But, we have been challenged, and Americans don't take things lying down! It is just The American Way . We will rise with a mighty sword to cut down the tyrannical maniacs, the usurpers, and the scum who dare to threaten us. There are many ways that we, the hilt and body of that sword, can show you, who constitute its blade, that we are with you and behind you every minute. We will work for your victorious return, and pray that it may come soon. 4 THE MARGARETTA School Directory SUPT. OF SCHOOLS CLASS OFFICERS Mr. L. W.

It is finding myself a hat. As usual, my mother accompanies me, as she thinks I'm too young to go alone. Look, dear, exclaims my mother, as we pass a window. Isn't that hat simply gorgeous! Let's go in. So in we go. We are met by a lady who is trying to be thirty, but I would sooner think she was double that. May I show you some hats today ? Yes, my mother answers. Some- thing for my daughter. The saleslady shows us her hats, and what hats! They were nothing like 1 had in mind. This would look lovely on you, my mother says, holding up a green hat with purple lilacs covering the crown. I don't care much for that, I re- ply weakly. Going over to another counter I find a very attractive navy blue hat trimmed with a pale blue flower. Holding it up I cry, I like this. My dear, says Mother sympathet- ically, as she puts it on, It is much too old for you. It looks nice on me, don't you think ? I could have cried. Then the old lady exclaims, Why, lady, that is simply charming on you. Does my mother Wait for any more? No. Out we go with my hat for her. Oh, well, I'd rather go bare-headed this summer anyway. Mary Pennell '42 Ik lk Ik THE SUNDAY PAPER IN MY HOME The Sunday paper arrives and there is a mad scramble for it. As it hap- pens, I am nearer the door and get it first. Then I go sit down in the easy chair for an enjoyable afternoon. The other members of the family are just as determined that I will not enjoy it, and they begin. First the smallest boy says, What does this say? or Read this to me. Next the smart guy of the family, Oh, he is older than we are, let Grandpa have the paper first. At this point I have stood all I can. I lay the paper in the chair and leave the room. I close the door behind me and listen at the keyhole, hoping that the others will leave the room, too, and I can go back once again. Well, I wait for about an hour and a half and at last they go. I dash through the door and am al- ready to capture the paper again, but THE MARGARETTA 13 to my disappointment it isn't'there. I look under the chair, the sofa, in the cabinet drawers and everywhere imag- inary. Then hearing a noise out in the yard, go to the window. It is at this point that I discover the paper. One of the boys has a string in his hand and high above, attached to it, is a nice- ly made kite-made from the Sunday paper. Karlton Hatch '42 Pk wk ,K HOW CRUEL FATE CAN BE My parents were ever so glad that I was born after the World War. I was born in Austria, Vienna, to be ex- act, in 1920. My first eighteen years I spent happily with my parents and friends. Suddenly, in 1938, Germany marched on Austria. My parents and I were hurrying to get across the border into a neighboring country. If I remember correctly, it was a cool night. Clouds were obstructing the moon from our View so it was safe to travel again. We hid by day and traveled at night. We had just come out of the woods and were crossing a iield when the moon came out. Suddenly we heard shouts in German and we found ourselves used as targets. As I think back, I recall how cruel a hand fate can play. My father was killed on the spot. My mother and I ran as fast as we could. In about fif- teen minutes we had crossed the bor- der and were safe. Just fifteen min- utes to safety, and now --. My mother, brave as she had been, slumped in my arms. I had not known it, but she had been hit in the shoulder. I dressed the wound as best I could, but knew immediately that she needed a doctor. Through the trees I spied a light. Carrying my mother, I walked to what proved to be a little village. I inquired for a doctor and a kind lady told me where to find one. In the doc- tor's home I waited impatiently, until slowly a door opened and the doctor came out. I'm sorry, he said. I did every- thing I could. The wound and the ex- citement were too much for her. Now I was really frantic, both my parents taken from me. I had rela- tives in New York, in America. Yes, but how was I to get to 'them. I wait- ed months for a passport and finally it came. I was put on a boat, the St. Croix. The boat was so crowded that many had to sleep on the decks. In about two weeks I reached New York. Since I had a little money, I tried to look up my relatives whom I had not seen since I was three. Maybe they, too, were dead. I hunted for weeks but to no avail. One day I stepped into a clothing store to buy some shirts. I was waited on by a very pretty girl who helped me select my shirts. As I did not want to take them with me, I asked if they might be sent. She said, May I have your name and address, please ? I told her, Carl Stross . Carl Stross, she exclaimed. I have a cousin by that name living in Vienna. Immediately I asked her what her name was. Imagine my delight when, through a long story on both our parts, we found ourselves related as cousins. I never was so glad of anything in my life. When she went home, I went with her. I told her of my escape and about Moth- er and Dad. I have now been living 14 THE MARGARETTA with them for ten years. I am now an American citizen and how proud I am of it! But, as I think back to Vienna, I say, How cruel fate can be !

Class of '42 Pk Sk IF MY MANIA I am both the victim and benefactor of a distinct and unique form of men- tal abnormalty. It is such that I can bring it upon my mind almost at will, and I find great pleasure in doing so. In fact, it is my favorite pastime, al- though it is quite unlike that of most people. I generally refrain from pub- licly expounding this whim of mine, lest someone not entirely familiar with the complexity of my capricious mind rec- ommend me for immediate induction in- to a mental institution. I have even shocked my mother and close associates when they caught me in the act . 1 The fault, however, is not theirs. Wouldn't you be disturbed if, on enter- ing the semi-darkened room of your best friend, you found him in the fol- lowing position: He is lying on the iioor --Hat on his back. His head is sup- ported by a pillow wedged into the angle where chiffonier meets wall, and his feet are elevated-the heels resting on the edge of the bed. The only source of feeble illumination comes from the dial light of the radio opposite the bed. As your eyes grow accustomed to the darkness, you are able to distinguish this phenomenal example of a sane and healthy youth in more detail. Over his clothes he wears a tattered blue bath- robe, hiding the stomach upon which his clasped hands repose. His eyes stare blankly, and protruding from his faintly smiling lips is a stick of licor- ice candy, which undoubtedly is the ex- planation of the besmirched condition of his lips and chin. The only other factor by which you might analyze his case is the music being exhaled by the radio-consisting, at present, of the rasping of a hoarse tenor sax backed up by a heavy four beat rhythm. All this seems to indicate a strange and pathetic case of dementia. I make no attempt to explain this favorite pastime of mine. There are, however, several conditions. The radio must be playing one of the sentimental selections of Harry James, Glenn Mil- ler, or Vaughn Monroe, the licorice must be the sticky, chewey, kind, and above all, my mind must be free from all feminine or monetary worries. While situated in this manner, I am able to project myself into the temporary state of melancolia during which I am won- derfully happy. You may think it in- sanity, but to me it is bliss. John Whalen '42 ak if ik MY LITTLE SISTER Anyone who has a little sister has my sympathy. I have one and I sympathize even with myself. Little sisters are always causing embarrassing situations -or at least mine is. I am never able to have my own way when Ruthie, my little sister, is around. If I insist upon my rights and start a quarrel with Ruthie, mother always comes in and says, Remember, Anne, Ruthie is the baby and you must be nice to her. Oh, of course, I should THE MARGARETTA 15 be nice to her no matter what she does. She's the baby. I prefer to call her the pet of the family. Let's take, for example, one evening when I was expecting Bob to call on me. Ruthie was in one of her bad moods. I knew what to expect, there- fore, I asked mother to try to keep Ruthie quiet. She said she'd try, but, somehow, I still expected anything to happen, and tried to prepare myself for it. Ruthie was running around the room where Bob and I were doing card tricks. Ruthie decided she wanted to play cards too, so I said, All right, go get some other cards. Oh no, she had to have the cards we were playing with. She had one of her spells and got the cards. She gets anything she Wants when she has one of her tantrums 3 except what I'd like to give her-but she's the baby. She played cards for a very short time, then she came into the living room again. She walked over Where Bob and I were sitting. Then the storm broke. I held my breath. Oh, Bob, she cried, guess who Wanted Anne to go to the movie with him ? Ruthie 1 I said in a stern tone. She said she'd love to go, Ruthie continued, but she had a date. Then he talked quite a while and then Anne said, Yes, isn't he stupid ? Of course she might not have been talking about you, but -. Ruth, you go right up to bed, Mother said, as she had overheard the conversation. I was only telling Bob about Jim- my calling Anne up, Mother, Ruthie said, going upstairs. Bob really thought I was talking about him when I said, Yes, isn't he stupid , but I was really talking about Robert Benchley. Thanks to Ruthie I had to explain that to Bob and that wasn't easy. If you have any little sisters, make sure they're in bed and sound asleep before asking anyone to your house. if ' if rr WISHBONE vs. BACKBONE It seems that human beings have de- veloped wishbone in place of backbone, which their pioneer ancestors possess- ed. Nowadays, in this age of luxury, we of the younger generation have been accused of having this Wishbone. That is, we only wish for things while those before us have used their brains and brawn to obtain the goal they wanted. Take this case, for instance: Pauline Sands is a girl all alone in the world. Her mother is dead and her father has married again. Pauline's brothers and sisters are grown up and married, with families of their own. Should she live with them? She could, but she doesn't. Even though she was forced to leave school and work for a living, she is studying high school subjects at night when normal young boys and girls are asleep, studying when she is tired enough to sleep all night, studying un- til the early hours of morning have come. This is a case of having back- bone, getting out and earning a living by doing any kind of job that comes along until the day comes when one will have enough education and money to become whatever his or her ambition may be. While, on the other hand, here is Ed- ith Lincoln. She is the type of girl who has been coddled and babied all her life. Her parents aren't wealthy and they can't afford to give her the 16 THE MARGARETTA training she needs to become a concert singer. She thinks that she couldn't possibly do any type of physical work, even if it were the means to an end. This girl will probably never reach her goal just because she lacks backbone. What are you going to do, young peo- ple of America? Are you going to have Wishbone or backbone for the re- mainder of your life? With Wishbone you will never reach the heights you dream of 3 but with backbone, hard work, and perseverance you may achieve your grandest ambitions. Barbara Hanscom '42 14 if HK THE MYSTERY OF THE TOWER Why, Bob, where are you going in this storm ? asked Alice Stanley. Are you going to row over to the village? You can't possibly get across the har- bor. I am going over to the old tower, Alice, to see what is the meaning of that light in the upper window. Why, Alice, there hasn't been a light there since the new tower was built five years ago. I have noticed one there lately and it looks suspicious. Bob did not tell Alice what his sus- picions were. Only that day had he noticed a sign up for the capture of some German spies who had been re- ported in that part of the country. He knew that the old tower would be an excellent place for some fifth columnists to have their headquarters, and seeing that light in the tower window had aroused his suspicions. He started up the steep and narrow path and soon reached the tower, stand- ing, dark and forbidding, overlooking Blue Harbor. He walked cautiously up to the rear door and listened. At first he could hear fnothingg ithen-a low murmur came to his ears, it seemed to be coming from an upstairs room. The spies I he said to himself, hard- ly daring to believe the statement he had just made. Gee! if I can only find out for sure, I can get that reward, maybe. He pushed open the door slowly and tipftoed cautiously along the narrow hall. At the end he could see a pair of steep, narrow stairs leading upward. Panther-like, he walked up those stairs and at the top, a sight met his eyes that confirmed his suspicions and one that he never forgot as long as he lived. In the small room at the top of the stairs stood a short wave set! Before this set stood two men of huge stature. They apparently were quarreling. Bob stood at the stair-landing as if he were rooted to the spot. Master X has given orders for us to radio him, said one of the spies. Well, we ain't gonna do it, at least, not yet, said the other. I think some people of this town are getting suspicious, said the larger of the two. And if they are, it's just curtains for us. I think we oughta be moving some place else anyway. You won't be moving anywhere if I can help it, Bob muttered to himself, as he crouched behind a pile of rubbish. The men argued for some time. Fin- ally one of them swore savagely and stamped over the narrow stairs and out the door. Bob made up his mind that he must get one of the spies at least, so he rose slowly to his feet and said clearly, I think your little game is up. The man spun around, took one look at Bob and lunged for him. Bob had not prepared himself for an attack and when he thought of his boy's strength contend- THE MARGARETTA 17 ing with this huge man's, he thought his end had surely come. Meanwhile, Alice had been busy with her own thoughts. Why had Bob gone to the tower? Was there anyone there that would hurt him? Was there some- thing that Bob knew and had not told her? Somehow she knew that there was something going on, and she was going to find out what it was. She went to her brother's room and took from his drawer a revolver which had been her father's. It was loaded and she was soon on her way to the old tower. She reached there just as the spy at- tacked Bob. Alice's voice broke that awful mo- ment saying: Hands up, Mr. Spy! We've got you now. The surprised and crestfallen spy gazed almost into the muzzle of a gun. Foi1ed by a girl. I'll be hanged, he muttered between savage oaths which made Alice grilt her teeth in anger. Here's a ropeg tie him up, Bob, she said. They tied his hands and ordered him to walk down to the boat on the shore. While this strange and exciting adven- ture had been going on, the storm had subsided. They loaded their strange cargo into the boat and rowed over to the village and delivered the spy to the police station. A few days later the rest of the gang of Fifth Columnists were captured and Alice and Bob received their reward.

The train stopped at Forty-Second Streeti' and Jim walked down The Little Street Where Old Friends Meet to a Vine-Covered Cot- tage to see his mother. She said to him, Sonny Boy soon I will be Cross- ing the Bar and I wonder, Is There Room Up in Heaven for an Old Rock- ing Chair because I will be lonely without it. Her loving son replied, Dear Mom , don't worry as there is always room in that City Called Heaven for those we love. Soon after his mother passed on, Jim called Rose O'Day and said, Please Be Kind, I Need Sympathy . She in answering said, Come South of the Border and Cheer Up , stop singing those Blues in the Night . This he did and not many months lat- er Rose O'Day , a blushing bride, went back Deep in the Heart of Texas , where the townspeople still call them The Couple in the Castle . Barbara M. Hanscom '42 Bk HF If A HAWAIIAN LUAU A luau is a Hawaiian feast, celebrat- ing a wedding, birthday anniversary, etc. There are a great many tables for the guests, which are decorated with ti- leaves and flowers. Ti-leaves are large and green and look like banana leaves. Instead of bringing presents to a luau, guests put money in a large cala- bashe, usually in the center of a certain table. Calabashes are wooden bowls made of koa-wood or coconut shells, and are used to put some of the food in. 18 THE MARGARETTA At every place at the table is a cala- bashe full of poi. Poi is made from the roots of taro-plant, is greyish in color, and looks like wall-paper paste. It is eaten with the fingers. Poi doesn't have any special taste at all, and it takes a person quite a long time to get used to it. There are dishes full of different kinds of prepared fish, sweet potatoes, and pork. There is also some pudding served called haupia. Haupia is white in color and is made from coconuts. The drink served is called okolehau. Oke for short. The modern luaus serve soda pop, ice cream and cake. The pork, called kalua pig, is very delicious. It is cooked in an interesting way. A hole is dug in the ground, which is called an imu. The pig, which has been cleaned, is stuffed with white- hot rocks and wrapped in gunny sacks. The sweet potatoes are put around it. White-hot rocks cover the pig and then the dirt is put on top. The pig takes quite a while to cook but it is well worth the time spent. While the guests are feasting, enter- tainment is going on. Hula girls are dancing, and a Hawaiian orchestra is playing. Sometimes a luau may last until morning and the guests are invited to breakfast. June Chadwick '45 bk is bk STRANGE VENTURE Mary had been told about the Salva- tion Army Captain, but she caught her breath just the same when she came through the revolving door of a town drug store and saw her for the first time. The resemblance was amazing. The same jet-black hair, the same ha- zel eyes. Even the same impish dim- ple at the left corner of the mouth! Mary might have been looking in a mir- ror except for the fact that the girl at the kettle wore a dark blue coat and an Army bonnet while the Stokes heir- ess was dressed up in the finest of furs. Feeling someone staring at her, the girl in the bonnet looked up through the crowd and caught a glimpse of her counterpart standing in the doorway. Placing the bell in the wire netting ov- er the kettle, she walked up to Mary and held out her hand in a friendly way. Hello! she said brightly. Pm Jane Montgomery and you're Mary Stokes, aren't you? I've been waiting to meet my twin ever since-1 Suddenly she noticed the little smile at the corners of Mary's mouth and the look in her eyes. 'Tm sorry, she apologized, but I thought- It was Dr. Young who saved the sit- uation by pulling up to the curb and calling Jane over to his car. Mary turn- ed away with a lump of jealousy in her throat. She knew David Young hated her for what she was-hated her weak- ness and selfishness and her useless life. It was during the middle of dinner Christmas Eve, that a call came to up- set Mary Stokes' future plans. The voice on the wire was ringing with ur- gency and need. It was Captain Jane Montgomery. This is Captain Jane Montgomery speaking, the voice said. Yes ? and in the one word was all the ice and formality that Mary Stokes could muster. I need your help very badlyf' the voice over the wire was saying. You're the only person in Lowbridge that can help me and it is a matter of much im- THE MARGARETTA 19 portance-a matter of life and death! 'Tm sorry,- Mary hesitated before she told a deliberate lieg but I'm ex- pecting company in half an hour and I really can't be bothered? The company can wait, went on the voice over the phone. What I want you to do can't wait. Dr. Young is- Dr. Young , the name sounded strange on Mary Stokes' tongue, and her pulse leaped. I'll come, I'll come, she said at last, and returned the re- ceiver to its place. A short time later as she climbed the steps to the Army building and entered Captain Montgomery's quarters, she wished that she hadn't agreed to come. But she soon forgot that when she found Jane Montgomery in bed-her white face twisted with pain and her leg in a heavy splint. I've broken my leg and I'm supposed to go on an errand of mercy, but I can't walk. That's why I called you. I want you to go in my place. It's too bad about your legf' Mary Stokes said coldly, but you are asking something utterly ridiculous. I thought when I came it was something impor- tant, but you only want me to run an errand for you! Listen! and she reached out and clutched Mary's hand in a 'firm grasp. For the first time in your life you're being asked to think of others instead of yourself. You've lived here longer than I have. All your life you've touched shoulders with the people in this town. You know all about them. But you've never had the opportunity, as I have had, to become acquainted with the people up in the mountain shacks. You might think they are not human. They're hard and cruel in their dealings with one another. But they are really human underneath and they need help. I just received a call from a family up there saying one little boy has a case of appendicitisf' And you want me to go? Mary's tone was filled with sympathy. Exactly! Mr. Warren won't let the doctor near the house unless I'm with him. If you put on my uniform and bonnet, no one could ever guess. You must hurry though. I've already call- ed Dr. Young and he'll be here in ex- actly seven minutes. Mary Stokes, not realizing that she was doing it, dressed and received her directions for the errand. Dr. Young did not recognize the girl who climbed into his coupe. On the Way to the mountain they talked of Mary Stokes. Did her royal highness bother you yesterday, Cap ? the doctor opened the conversation. You know that is one girl who could be the grandest person in the world if she'd come down to earth. 't Evidently you don't care for the young lady, Mary Stokes said, look- ing away from him. That's just it, the young doctor admitted ruefully, I do care. Finally they reached the Warren cab- in, and Mary went straight to Work. A few hours later when they were on their way back, the doctor said, You were swell. It was a tough fight but you helped like a good soldier. I-I-, but strangely she couldn't say anything. - Quickly the doctor took up the con- versation to cover her confusion. You look grand in the Army bon- net, he said. I wish you could wear one all the time, Mary. 20 THE MARGARETTA Startled, the girl looked up at him. David, then you knew all the time? Only after we got to the cabin, he answered. But how ? Your hands told me, he said. They aren't going to be a lady's hands any longer, David, she told him. I'm going back and ask Captain Mont- gomery if she can use me-if maybe someday I can wear a bonnet that I've really earned myself. Elaine Schoppee '45 wk lk HK THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY Marcella was in a very difficult posi- tion. She had two boy-friends, Paul and Billy, and each was extremely jeal- ous of the other. They were getting to be quite a nuisance. She did not like either of them well enough to continue going with them, but how was she go- ing to drop them both at once? Yes, she was in a difficult position, but she must get out of it immediately. She took a new writing pad, a full bottle of ink, and a fountain pen into the quiet living room. She sat down in a large, comfortable chair, and drew a wastebasket near her. Evidently she knew what she was about. This little picture could be called Meditation . Marcella's lovely brows were puckered in thought. A moment of silence, a moment of scribblingg and the paper goes in the wastebasket. Then everything starts all over again. Far into the night Marcella sat hud- dled in her chair. As the clock struck twelve, Marcella got an inspiration. All the furrows in her beautiful forehead disappeared, and her lovely eyebrows settled back in their accustomed place. With one sweaty hand she pushed back her rumpled hair. Even the little wrin- kles around her mouth disappeared. The effect was that of the peaceful calm af- ter a tempest. Everything was going to be all right now. With an unfaltering hand she wrote the following letter: M-i, Mass., July 3, 1943 Dearest Billy, The time has come for me to tell what's in my heart. I only realized last night 5 you are the only one in the world for me. I could never get along with- out you. As for Paul-he's a modern and one of the worst. He's only a passing fad to me. Dearest, I am Yours forever, Marcella. Carefully she folded the letter and placed it on the table. She gave a lit- tle chuckle and started on her second letter, which read like this: M-i, Mass., July 3, 1943 Darling Paul, Since the Barn Dance Saturday night I have known that you are the only one in the world for me. I hope you feel the same way about me. I could nev- er get along without you. As for Billy-he is a stuffed shirt with all his airs and graces. CPoof, we moderns can't stand himlj Yours forever, Marcella. Another chuckle and she placed the second letter near the first. Then she relaxed in her chair and slept till the family got up. When Mamma came down in the morning, she was surprised to see the look of deep content on her daughter's face. A little later, Marcella woke up and explained to her mother, showing her the two letters. Mamma couldn't un- understand how that would help. THE MARGARETTA 21 But don't you see, said Marcella happily, I've switched the envelopes. Eleanor W. Dodge '45 if ik 42 PRISCILLA TESS AND THE STRAWBERRY JAM Mr. Frums tiptoed quietly through the parlor in the dark. In his right hand were his shoes and in his left hand his soiled necktie. He was feeling his way through the darkness when sud- denly he knocked something over, hurt his leg, and let a rather low growl es- cape his lips. At practically the same time a light was turned on and a little girl started to laugh, H'wo pop, she said, what- cha got in yer hands, huh ? Nothing-just my shoes. Why aren't you in bed, Priscilla Tess? Sure- ly you're not taking advantage of your mother's being away, are you ? Nope, I ain't, I was jes waitin' for you ta 'get in', like momma does. Where you been, huh ? continued the child. That was a nice thought, your wait- ing for me, but a little girl needs her rest. Now go on up to bed like a nice little girl, said her father. Gee, pop, I'm hungry. Can I have some strawbry jam, huh? she said, putting her braids over her shoulder. No, you certainly cannot. Not at this time of morning, said her father. Now go on upstairs-hurry! and he sat down on a nearby couch. Mr. Frums lay down and almost went to sleep. Almost, because as he was about to doze off, his daughter, Pris- cilla Tess, hollered down: Daddy, aren't you comin ta bed, 'tis terribly late-huh, daddy, ain't you ? No, Priscilla, I am not! came the reply of her father. Oh, exclaimed Priscilla Tess. Will, will you bring me up a drink of water? I'm terribly thirsty-please? Come down and get it yourself. I'm sleepy, said her father, disgustedly. O'k, pop-if you're sleepy, Priscilla Tess replied. About a half hour later, Mr. Frums awoke with a start from his dreams in which he was being chased by a mad elephant and was running head first into a beehive. Mr. Frums sat upright on the couch and looked around the room. All the lights were on, and then it suddenly came to Mr. Frums that he did not see or hear his daughter. He ran upstairs, hoping to find her safely in her own room. No, she wasn't there. He opened all the doors upstairs, look- ed in all the corners, and when Priscilla Tess could not be found, he hurriedly ran down stairs again. Had Tess been kidnapped ? he won- dered. No, no one would want to kid- nap Tess. Even so, if she had been kid- napped, her kidnapper would probably bring her back very soon. He went to the kitchen, the dining- room and the parlor. He looked every- where-under the couch, behind the desk, in the dish closet-just in case Tess had been playing a trick on him. He was about ready to give up when he decided to look in the pantry and see if his salary, which he kept in the sugar bowl, was missing. He turned on a light and was about to step inside the pantry, when he saw, huddled limply on the fioor-Tess-her mouth and face all red. Oh, Tess, he cried excitedly, are you all right, dear ? Tess woke up and looked at her fath- er curiously. Why, yes, pop, I'm ok -why not? 22 THE MARGARETTA But, darling, the blood on your face ! her father said nervously. At that Tess giggled sleepily, Shucks, that ain't blood. That's straw- bry jam! SCHOOL DAYS I'm dragged out of bed at quarter past eight And hurried to school so I won't be late. I climb the stairs at twenty to nine, And that, my friends, is not on time. At quarter to nine I go to my classes, And while I am passing I eye the lasses. I look each one over from head to toe, And that's why in passing I am so slow. Let's start oif with French this beautiful morning, And right now let me give you a warning. If my lessons I do not know, Don't think I'm lying, it is so. Miss Eaton says, Today we have Chapter 9, And I find out I'm only five chapters behind. Oh, well, what is a lesson or two, Especially when you're going to school. Then I go to English class, Occasionally in this I do pass, But when I should be reading my English story I'm thinking of Lancelot in all his glory. ' Then to Geometry class I go, With dragging feet and head hung low. When Miss Ebbeson gives us a test- I-I can't endure to tell the rest. What a life it is to go to school! Five hours each day under demons' rule, And if you even get into a fight One of them says, Detention tonight!

Now when I think of all the hate That spreads abroad today, I square my shoulders as I say, My country must not go that way. I love the lakes, the streams, the hills, The bubbling brooks, the rocky rills. It makes us bow our heads in prayer, God bless our land so rich and fair. Dick Kimball '45 Pk Pl' PK PF EDUCATION FOR VICTORY We must try for our EDUCATION In spite of the cry of WAR, So to M. H. S. we will be true And go on as ever before. We must study our lessons harder To prepare us the future to win, And may our brave and sturdy youth Keep the enemy from coming in. We must always think of the future When this cruel WAR is done, Then we'll be glad we have done our duty Instead of wasting our time in fun.

The stars did blink as their reflection played On the calm, dark waters of the lake, And as night came on and the dusk did fade, I listened to the noises of the drake. While I stood on the bank of the rippling stream, Gazing at all the surrounding place, I suddenly awoke from my peaceful dream, And found the sun pouring down on my face.

Our student council representatives are Leonard Bowles and Alan Bridg- ham. We are represented in the band by Abbie Reynolds, Leonard Bowles, and Mary E. Wallace. The latter is also in the school orchestra. We presented an assembly program in the form of a quiz contest, which was very interesting as well as educational. Leonard Bowles, Jean Cole, Alan Bridg- ham, Constance Holway, and William Parker were the students who took part. Donald Cole, an eighth grader, led all the school in selling magazine sub- scriptions and therefore helped to bring the prize to our room for sales. On various occasions he has proved to be the leading salesman of our school. During the second nine weeks of our school year, we were fortunate in hav- ing Mr. Eugene Mawhinney, from W. S. N. S., as a training teacher. We have also enjoyed having Mr. Joseph Sala, also from W. S. N. S., for the last ten weeks.

Pk Pls Pk SOPHOMORE REPORT When school opened Sept. 8, 1941, the Sophomore class boasted thirty-seven members. The year was not far ad- vanced, however, when Dale Roberts and Keith Smith decided to leave school and try their luck at working. An- other one of our members, Arlene Lib- by, moved to South Portland, leaving us to carry on with thirty-four able-bodied students. All those whose names belonged in the first part of the alphabet were as- signed to Room 7, under the supervision of Miss Ebbeson, while the rest were herded into Room 6 with Miss White. A costume party was held in Decem- ber, with all the Sophomores present. Mr. McEacharn awarded prizes to Shir- ley Magee and Lawrence Johnson for the best costumes. Refreshments we1'e served.

Under the helpful supervision of Miss Ebbeson and our head librarian, Muriel Clemons, we have improved our library considerably. Respectfully submitted, Laura Davis, Secretary. REPORT OF THE FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA At the iirst meeting of the Machias Valley Chapter of the Future Farmers of America, in September, the follow- ing officers were elected: President, Ce- cil Day, Vice-President, Kenneth Vane, Treasurer, Lloyd Hill, Secretary, Rich- ard Johnson, Reporter, George Wil- liams. During the year there was a mem- bership of nineteen, all of whom are en- rolled in Vocational Agriculture . The boys have made stands for the officers' stations for use while conduct- ing the meetings of the Machias Valley Chapter. The stands were made in the shop of the Agricultural Department. There have been four hot-beds made by the boys of the Machias Valley Chap- ter and the Agricultural classes. The Machias Valley Chapter and the Agricultural classes have made an in- cubator in which they have hatched a few chickens. The annual fishing trip this year was enjoyed at Allen Hill's camp, at First Lake, Machias River. The boys who attended were Kenneth Laughton, George Hill, Lloyd Hill, Thatcher Clark, William Parker, Julian Mugnai, George Williams, Jr., Cecil Day, Paul Stanhope, Douglas Riddiough, and our instructor, Mr. Shipman. A good size catch of pickerel, perch, and one eel was taken from the lake. Respectfully, George Williams, Jr., Class Reporter. PF PF Pk HOME ECONOMICS The Home Economics club was or- ganized at the beginning of the year, with a membership of twenty girls. At the first meeting, the following girls 28 THE MARGARETTA were elected as officers: President, Christine Huntley, Vice-President, An- geline Hayward, Secretary, Leonice Al- bee, Treasurer, Nancy Hooper. We de- cided to hold our meetings on the sec- ond Friday of each month. At the first meeting, the club motto, Those who serve best, profit most , was discussed, and the constitution read and explained. In October the new members were in- itiated with the usual formal service and the wearing of odd costumes the following day. After that we had a get-acquainted party so that the mem- bers might come to know each other better. At Christmas time we put on an assembly program, with several of the club members taking part. This year we decided to have some kind of a special project to Work on during club meetings. We chose for this the making of a club scrapbook, which would contain a picture of the members and pictures on several dif- ferent topics. Those we selected were nature, clothing, parties, and special oc- casions. The girls were divided into four groups, with a chairman at the head of each. The hot lunch program has again been carried on by the Home Economics department during the winter months. Through the use of the Surplus Com- modities we have been able to offer a lunch consisting of a hot dish and some kind of fruit at the cost of 4c per day. Several pupils from the grade schools, as well as the high school, have taken advantage of this. The clothing class- es have contributed to the Red Cross by making several girls' dresses and skirts for them. There are three points that we are emphasizing in our department this year, all of which are important to na- tional defense. The first of these is conservation of what we have. The girls have carried this out by such ac- tivities as making over garments for themselves or for children, the care and repair of clothes, canning of foods for winter use, and the making of childrens toys from old materials. The second point is the importance of proper nutri- tion. Along with this topic, the girls have studied meal planning and the use of inexpensive foods. The third point is consumer education-facts which ev- ery homemaker should know about the buying of food, clothing, and household equipment so that she will get the most for her money. Other courses the girls have taken during the year which have to do with national defense are Home Nursing and First Aid. Leonice Albee, Secretary. Dk :lf SF M. H. S.

The boys won 13 and lost 5 games, the largest number of games the High School team has played for a long time. At the call for basketball candidates, about twenty boys responded. Out of this group, Mr. Haley formed a very effective team. Two lettermen were left over from last year, John Stern- berg and Ivan Graham. The team was .made up of the following: J. Sternberg, I. Graham, forwards, F. Reynolds, cen- ter, F. Higgins, P. Cole, guards. The substitutes were F. McDonald, R. Mc- Donald, Q. Davis, M. Clark, R. Phil- brook.

This was only the first game, but the prospects looked good for the rest of the season. Stern- berg was high man, with 6 points, fol- lowed by McDonald and Clark with 5 points each. The second out of town game was played with Lubec, one of the county favorites. Machias' 22-9 lead at the half was too much for the local boys to overcome. The Bulldogs pulled the first upset by a 29-27 margin. Stern- berg was high scorer with 14 points, followed by Cole with 7 points. Our first home game was a triumph long to be remembered in Machias. Sternberg rang the bell for 31 points. The superb passing of the Bulldogs, which allowed their captain to shoot inside the foul circle, was too much for the Red Raiders. The score: Machias 51, Washington Academy 21. 32 THE MARGARETTA BASKETBALL Left to right: R. Schoppee, Mgr.g F. McDonald, R. F., I. Graham, R. G., P. Cole, R. F., J. Sternberg, L. F., M. Clark, C.g F. Reynolds, C., F. Higgins, L. G.g R. Philbrook, L. G., Coach Haley. Lubec came to Machias seeking re- venge, but Machias, with three vic- tories, had no idea of this happening. At the end of four very slow quarters Machias was ahead 40-20. During the last four minutes, Coach Haley played his second team, which held Lubec to 3 points. Graham was high scorer with 22 points, followed by Sternberg with 10 points. With four victories under their belt, Machias ventured out to tackle Den- nysville in their own hall. Sternberg. who fouled out in the first five minutes, had 5 baskets to his credit. By run- ning up a big score in the first period, Machias held a fighting Dennysville team at bay. With but one point sep- arating the two teams and with only 20 seconds to go, Machias held the ball and hauled one of the closest games of the year out of the fire. Graham was high scorer with 16 points, followed by Sternberg with 10 points. Both Gra- ham and Sternberg fouled out. Machias suiered its first defeat at the hands of last year's champs, Wood- land High. Machias started to click in the third quarter, but Cole fouled out and Graham sprained his wrist. Ma- chias fought like true champions, but all in vain. They died with their boots on. Woodland 42, Machias 26. Stern- berg with 14 points for Machias, and Slefinger with 19 points for Woodland were high men. 1 We made a new rival this year in a classy Alumni Quintet. The Bulldogs won the first game 49-36. Machias led all the way in a tight, hard-fought bat- tle. The pace was too much for the older boys, who had not been playing regularly. Sternberg for the High School and Longfellow for the Alumni THE MARGARETTA 33 both had 22 points. Graham was out with a sprained wrist. On Jan. 16, a fast moving Machias team took a tight game from their riv- als, Washington Academy, 30-27. Ma- chias was behind at the half, but came back with a bang to show the Academy what true champions are made of. Ma- chias was playing without their spark- plug, Gabby Graham, but Chet McDonald filled his shoes to perfection. Sternberg and Cole were high men for Machias. On Jan. 20 Machias lost a fast and furious battle to Shead High of East- port. At no time was Machias too far behind to be part of the ball game. With the score at the third period tied at 25 all, Eastport put on a Hnishing spurt that was too much for the Machias boys, but they fought until the last gun was fired. The score: Shead 39, Machi- as 31. Machias went to Eastport with the idea of beating the Seasiders , and atoning for their previous defeat. Ma- chias kept the lead until the last period, but again Eastport put on a finish that was too much for the home boys. Stern- berg and Higgins fouled out in the fourth quarter. The score: Shead 49, Machias 37. The Dennysville game turned out to be a runaway, Machias 62, Dennysville 33. Downs scored 25 of Dennysville's 33 points. Machias proved to Dennys- ville that that one point victory wasn't a fluke. Dennysville was lost in the W. S. N. S. gym. McDonald was high scorer for Machias with 22 points. On Jan. 30, Woodland came to Ma- chias with the game in the bag, but they were in for a surprise. When the smoke of battle cleared, Machias was victorious 39-28. Woodland was out of her class that night. Machias was af- ter revenge andigot it. Woodland had snapped our five game winning streak. Cole was shifted to forward that night and he did himself proud by cutting the net with 18 points. Machias lost its fourth game to Cal- ais Academy 38-31. It was a hard fought game and at no time was Ma- chias out of the ball game. Machias tried to rally in the fourth period, but it was too late. Sternberg and Cole were high men for Machias. On Feb. 11, Machias went to Calais with blood in their eyes. Calais, be- ware! At the end of one of the most exciting games of the year, Machias came out on top 38-36. Although at the end of the first period Machias was behind 15-7, they put on a rally in the second period to go ahead 23-21. Ma- chias held on to that two point lead like Bulldogs for which they are justly named. Sternberg, who fouled out in the fourth period, was high man with 20 points. By their excellent showing through- out the season, the Bulldogs had won the privilege of contending for the championship in the County Tourna- ment. On Friday afternoon, Machias, in its first game, won from Dennysville, 48-18, which made them eligible for the semi-finals. Saturday afternoon in the semi-finals Machias was matched against Eastport. Machias was going great guns in a fast and furious struggle which had the spectators on their feet most of the time. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the score stood 23-20 in favor of Shead. Both teams put on the pres- sure in the last period. Machias went 34 THE MARGARETTA behind but never stopped trying until the gun went off. Shead 30, Machias 26. The last night of the tournament the two losing teams in the semi-finals, Ma- chias and Lubec, played in the consola- tion game. Lubec stayed with Machi- as the first half, but Machias put on the pressure to Win, going away, 43-26. , ,N .X- Ivan Graham and John Sternberg both made the All Tournament Team- Sternberg forward, and Graham, guard. The team will lose two lettermen this year, Guards Philip Cole and Frank Higgins. Both boys played grand ball for the High School this year. A lot of credit goes to Mgr. Schoppee for his fine work and his keeping the boys in high spirits, which won many a game. : ' I iuvf- .

Pk Dk lk When we began collecting our Mar- garetta material we wrote to some of the service men whose addresses we knew, and, although many didn't reply, we received some very interesting let- ters. Adin Clark, of the Medical Corps, writes that after spending six weeks in preliminary training in Massachusetts, his regiment was sent to Camp Hulen, Texas. There were encountered many unexpected hardships, such as centi- pedes, scorpions, Black Widow spiders, rattlesnakes, and long sieges of heavy rain. Adin says the boys are ready and trained to go into this fight with sheer determination to win such a smashing victory that never again will we have to go to war. We only hope you're right, Adin. Hal Dolan told us many interest- ing things about his life at Camp Shel- by and described his living quarters to us. Shelby is what is called a 'tent city'g the living quarters consist of THE MARGARETTA 37 wooden frames with ten tops and sides. Every tent houses six men, and is equipped with a sheet-metal stove which has seen plenty of service this winter. fThe sunny south is just a myth used to attract winter vacation- ists.J About the only permanent build- ings in one of these tent cantonments are the mess halls, the canteens, day- rooms, recreation halls, and chapels. The canteens sell just about everything that a modern drug store does. The theatre buildings are of two types, one about like the 'big top' of the circus: and the other a wooden building with a seating capacity of about a thousand men. We get the latest movies at twenty cents admission, and a stage production every two weeks with ad- mission free. The batteries fit out their day-rooms with easy chairs, pool and ping-pong tables, and the latest magazines. So you can see that our spare time is taken care of all right, and the government finds plenty to do dur- ing working hours. Sounds all right, Hal, especially the free shows. Dr. Karl Larson writes: I am attached to a Negro battalion with 500 Negro soldiers and 16 white oflicers. It has two companies of 250 men each. A battalion of 1,000 men would have four companies. This is the only Negro medical training bat- talion in the country so it has soldiers from all parts of the country. This battalion also has a band to play for parades and reviews. The Negro boys make excellent soldiers, and seem to be the equal of the white boys in about everything that they go into. They excel in singing, and their glee club was good enough to be sent to Washington. U We regret that space does not permit us to publish this whole letter. We en- joyed it very much. Mark Babson, who is now in the Navy, writes that he would like to hear from some of the old gang . Orrin Armstrong writes us from Honolulu that he is still a baseball fan. In fact, he's playing with the best of them. Left to right: Top row: F. Parlin, A. Clark, D. Sternberg, D. Longfellow. Center: H. Ackley, R. Clark, M. Bryant. Bottom row: O. Johnson, top center, H.
