We arrived at Farmington State Teachers' College on Friday, Iune Six- teenth. Each girl was assigned to one of two parties: The Whigs, who were the Conservative party, and the Tories, or Radicals. Every girl had a badge which identified her as a citizen of the county of Honesty or Courage, and the town of Iustice, Freedom, Democracy, or Loyalty. Friday evening there was an informal get-acquainted hour. followed by the formulation of parties, caucuses and con- ventions. On Saturday morning we heard a lec- ture on town government. This was fol- lowed in the afternoon by model town meetings, formation of town warrants and election of ofHcers. Saturday evening we attended a lec- ture on county government. On Sunday morning everyone attended church. In the afternoon we heard lectures on Maine state finances, the duties of state officials and the significance of primary elections. Great stress was laid on the failure of so many citizens to vote in the primaries. which are of equal or greater importance than the final elections. On Sunday evening there was a com- munity sing fwe had music and recreation every day, followed by a timely lecture on the dangers of Communism. The primary elections were held on Monday after the campaign speeches of the candidates for Girl Governor. The candidates spoke on points men- tioned in their party platforms, such as abolishment of the Governor's Council, an increase in the amount of money allotted to the Education, Health, Highway and State Parks Departments, and the changing of the time of all state and national elections to November. On Tuesday morning the state and county elections followed political pep meetings and rallies. A highlight of the week was our trip to Augusta to attend the inauguration of our Girl Governor, Ruth Swanson. Here we saw Blair House, the Hall of Flags. Fort Western and the Treasury Depart- ment, where we touched a pice of paper worth two million dollars. The House and Senate convened on Wednesday. The Governor and her council met to pass, veto, or suggest changes in bills presented and voted upon in the Legislature. In the evening we attended a banquet and enjoyed stunt night. On Thursday we were homeward bound. I hope that I will prove worthy of the honor given me and that I will do my part to justify the faith of America in her youth. ALMA MERRILL '51 DECEMBER 7, 1941-ATTACK It was a warm, still morning in Fort Shafter where I lived. My brother and I, still in bed clothes, followed my father to the car. We were bound for the bakery. As we were riding through Honolulu, big, black, ugly smoke clouds and fiery flames were piling high above a large sug- ar cane field. Knowing not what it was, THE MARGARETTA ll we called my father's attention to it. After hesitating a minute, he told us that it was sugar cane burning. He knew himself that this was war. When we returned home, our radio was going full blast: programs were inter- rupted every few minutes. This was it. Pearl Harbor had been attacked by the Iapanese. Iapanese planes were circling Fort Shafter and near-by places. Being only three miles from Pearl Harbor, we could get a good view of bombs floating down by the hundreds. My father then reported for duty in Schofield: and to reach his base, he had to drive right through Pearl Harbor. What were we to do? Immediately all families at our post were ordered to seek shelter in a large electric power plant. which would serve temporarily as an air- raid shelter. There we spent three days and three nights, frightened and not knowing what to expect next. Food and clothing were brought by the soldiers during this time but very little of the food was eaten. Many prayers were said while we waited patiently for the outcome. The fourth day came and we were told we might go home. Every night we were alerted by air- raid signals warning us to go to near-by tunnels and to await the all-clear signal. Many a night was spent with our clothes still on from the day before in preparation for leaving for shelter. In order to be up instantly when the alarm went on, we took our bed covers and mattresses and slept on the floor. This went on for two months. School at the time was still running but we did not dare leave the post to go to the city. Tunnels were built in every yard for pro- tection. February rolled around and many fam- ilies were given the opportunity to go to the states if they had relatives there. Due to the fact that my father's family lived in Maine, he thought it best for us to come for fear of another attack. We left on February 17, 1942, on the Lurline and arrived by train on March 7, 1942. All I can say is-that was one experi- ence that I shall never forget! ALMA CHADWICK '51 OUR CONSTITUTION - ORDAINED BY FREE MEN, SUSTAINED BY FREE MEN. Prize winning essay in American Legion Contest. Since the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock in 1620, we have fought for freedom and what we thought was right. What made the Pilgrims start out on that terrifying journey in August, 1620? You know the answer as well as I. They wanted Freedom. Freedom of Religion, Freedom of Speech, Freedom of the Press, and Free- dom of Assembly: those are what they fought and died for: those are what we are fighting for today, and future genera- tions will Hght for them. As long as the Four Freedoms exist, they will be fought for by Americans. It was difficult for our forefathers. Some gave up the fight and returned to their homelands, but there were others who dreamed and planned of what would come. Many of these people did not see their dreams come true, but gave up their lives striving for these dreams. First, there were the Indians, who had lived for centuries undisturbed. They did not like having white people crowding them out. Second, was the Revolutionary War. That was the greatest fight for American Liberty. In that war we first won our freedom. Few people thought we could 12 THE MARGARETTA win. They asked each other, How? We were a new nation, untried, without an army, navy, or enough supplies. Only one thing stood in our favor. We were fight- ing on our own ground. It was men like George Washington, Thomas jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin, who believed we could gain our freedom, who carried us through. Finally on july 4, 1776, the Liberty Bell rang out announcing to the people of Philadelphia the signing of the Declar- ation of Independence. It is hard to take a group of people with different interests, living in different parts of a country, carrying on different indus- tries, and bring them together to work for a common cause. How much more diffi- cult then must it be to band together a group of states! Though the earliest attempts to unite the American colonies failed, the fact that each attempt came nearer to success spurred on the Coun- try's statesmen, and led at last to a glorious success. The Articles of Confederation were tried and failed. Since this gave Con- gress no power, each state could do as she pleased. The individual cared nothing for the weak government represented by the Articles of Confederation, All he was in- terested in was his own state. Soon it became apparent that something would have to be done. In 1786, some of the most brilliant men in the land met at a Philadelphia meeting, known as the Federal Convention. Washington, jeffer- son, Franklin, james Madison, and Alex- ander Hamilton were there. It is well that such strong-minded men attended because they had important work to do. The sessions were stormy and progress was slow but each agreement reached brought the men a little nearer their goal-a practical government for the United States. Those men accomplished in a few weeks what has governed the people of the United States for more than a cen- tury and a half-The Constitution of the U. S. Then came the problem of getting all the states to adopt the Constitution. Within two years nine states had joined. Soon afterward the other four states joined and all thirteen states became a single nation. Long years after the Atlantic Ocean had been crossed and the Atlantic Coast of the United States built its civilized and progressive country, the adventurous spirit of the pioneers lived on. Westward their descendents went leaving the com- fortable cities and towns of the East, to advance through forest, and deserts, over mountains and across rivers, to push the frontier ever farther into the wilderness. This great western migration was sure to have important effects on the new nation of the United States-and it did. From a little group of thirteen states spread along the Atlantic Coast of North America, the United States had grown into a mighty nation of forty-eight states, extending across the entire continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific. It took suffer- ing. and sacrifice, and daring, and im- agination to gain under a tremendous strain. How it was done, and how the investment has yielded a golden harvest, make a most inspiring story. Within two years the Constitution was amended ten times. These Amendments are known as the Bill of Rights, and guarantee certain privileges to the citizens. Now came the struggle of proving our- selves to thc other nations of the world. This was not easy. It took bravery and a fight to gain the respect, and honor of these nations. However, this respect was not long in coming. We proved ourselves equal not THE MARGARETTA 13 only in warfare and government but in industrial and social development, Today we can hold our own with any nation in education, literature, and invention. We are now an industrial leader of the world. As the United States developed into a great and rich nation, her leaders found themselves faced with many serious prob- lems. The farmers were calling upon the government for relief. The railroads were making money by unfair means. People in many parts of the country were loudly demanding a better tariff system. Labor and Capital were at swords points and their quarrels were making coopera- tion impossible. Government positions were being awarded to incompetent peo- ple. Several of the leading cities were being robbed by dishonest politicians, Courageous and honest statesmen and public spirited citizens have helped to right some of these wrongs. We still have some of these problems today but they are rapidly being ironed out. Soon another problem of Freedom arose, freedom of Race, This brought on the Civil War when the South and the North parted. It seemed the end of the Union was near. Finally, the war over, this big question arose: should the South be punished or treated as though there had been no war? The latter was decid- ed upon. Today, no matter you are, you are equal to all whether white, black, or yellow, In the last eighty years we in two world wars, defending our own freedom and helping other people to be- come free. Now some men predict a third world war. If there is, we will do as we have done before help other people regain their freedom, and protect our own. We are up against one of the biggest what race other men have been trials of our career. Can we down Com- munism? Without a war? In the earlier days of our country, the United States was more or less isolated from the other countries of the world. It took months to cross the Atlantic Ocean in vessels and this was the only way of traveling from one continent to another. Today a person can go from one contin- ent to another in a matter of hours. This was what brought on the big problems of world peace. More and more nations have come to realize that war has no place in a civilized world. The death, destruction, and suf- fering involved more than off set any gains in riches and territory. The desire for peace is growing constantly and in recent years the leading nations have been working together to eliminate war as a means of settling disputes, Throughout all countries, people are watching the efforts of the peace-makers with intense interest. The United Nations is striving for world peace but, up to the present time. they have not had enough authority, The United States will help for world peace and will go more than half way, but if any country tries to overcome us, we will light. Many nations have patented their Con- stitutions after ours and probably many more will. We want to spread democracy as we are doing today to people behind the Iron Curtain and if these people want to adopt our way of life, we will help them attain it. ln the years before us, the people who come after us will uphold this tradition. As long as our freedom is threatened, the American people will defend it. REBECCA CARROLL '52 THE c1,Ass oi' '51 Thcrc's a class at M. H. S.

The building is the school house, As old, as old can be, And if I'm not mistaken, T'will go down in history. Now the building is in ruin, And the floor begins to sag, The walls are slightly leaning, But the teachers seldom nag. Still we love this dear old school The best we'll ever know, And we always will remember it No matter where we go.

There will be three county priz- es and one state prize for the best essays, and the winners will be guests at a ban- quet and taken on a tour through a mod- ern generating plant. We are anxiously awaiting the announcement of winners, and hope to have some of our talented writers among them. SENIOR PLAY The senior play, 'ALet Me Out of Here , took place on December 1: with the cast scared silly , After everyone had been on the stage once, he became a seasoned veteran and had one beautiful time. Cur greatest fear was that the audi- ence wouldn't laugh at what was sup- posed to be funny. If the second curtain could have gone up to reveal back stage when we got our first laugh, a strange scene would have met the cyes of the audience. The whole cast, minus those on stage, were exhibiting a surplus of joy in silence, which is a very hard thing to do. The main object of the plot of this play was for someone in the cast to keep a very rich aunt from seeing him or else to escape detection while running around minus his trousers. These frustrated people consisted of Eve Boyd fPat Mun- sonj, very independent, who did an ex- cellent job of playing the niece of the rich Aunt. Angela Boyd fGreta Pette- growj while falling in love with Garrett Lynn QLaurence Fosterj, her roornmate's brother. Her roommate was Bona Lynn fBarbara McPhetersl, also very in- dependent, whose main object was to keep things running smoothly fin this play that was impossiblel. Victor Ward fKenneth Morsej, Garrett Lynn's friend. added much to the comedy by spending most of his time minus his trousers. Yes, and there was the landlady, Mrs. Rhodes. iAlma Merrillj, who was always there with the ever ready monkey-wrench to throw into the plot. Then poor Gifford Morton iRobert Allenl, who was picked on by almost everyone, played the part of the pain, whom Mrs. Boyd wanted Eve to marry. His part added much comedy and laughter to the play. Marshall Ward fKeith Srnithj, like his son, had an ex- treme amount of trouble to keep track of his trousers. Stevie Cobb Uohn Callahanl and Hazel Miles QCarole Libbyl, colored servants, added Color and fun. To say the least a good time was had by all. The seniors will long remember the good times enjoyed in rehearsing with Mr. Hayward and the patience of Mrs. Carroll assisted by Chloe Berry, who made us up for our stage appearance. BARBARA MCPHETERS '51 STUDENT COUNCIL During the first week of school the Student Council met with the following officers and representatives present: Pres- ident, Alma Chadwick: Vice-Pres., Iohn Hanson: Sec.

At the end of the first six weeks period. Frank Ackley and Lucille Kilton were elected to represent the Freshman class on the Council. Fred Chadwick was chosen representative from the eighth grade. Student Council aims to provide whole- some and satisfying experiences for stu- dents and to contribute to the effective- ness of the school program. This year the Council has become a member of the National Association of Student Councils from which it has re- ceived many helpful booklets on how to improve its own program. The Council has again sponsored the sale of chocolate milk and potato chips during the recess periods. The Activity Association's Constitution has been revised by a group of Iunior and Senior members who met several evenings at Principal McEacharn's home to work on this project. The new Constitution was ratified by unanimous vote of the students. One important revision was in regard to athletic awards. lt was decided that basketball and baseball letters should be six inch, full block chenille M's . They should have set-in service stripes for the number of years participation together with set-in basketballs or baseballs. At the end of this school year, the boys who are eligible will receive this new letter. Our point system concerning Activity awards has also been changed, as well as the duties of the school treasurer. The council hopes to work out many more problems which confront the student body. HIGH SCHOOL CHORUS This year, the high school chorus has started studying three and four part mu- sic. For the boys, this meant a great deal of work, learning to read and sing from the bass clef. The music has been all new material to us students and has been greatly varied ranging from The Spa- cious Firmament On High to Kentucky Babe . We have done very little unison work this year as we were more con- cerned with the study of part singing. Our first public performance was the Christmas program. The major part of the program was made up by soloists and small groups of singers with the entire group singing the Christmas Carols. fOne of the outstanding memories of this program was White Christmas as sung by Carl Hooper, which received three en- cores.l Edith Bryant ably accompanied at this program, as well as at rehearsals throughout the year. For our Spring Recital, the Freshman- Sophomore Chorus and the Iunior-Senior Chorus have been practicing their part- work. Besides these two large groups, there have been several other groups working which include the girls' three part chorus, boys' Barber Shop Harmony, and one other group which has been organized into mixed quartets. For our program, these were augmented by soloists, as well as our Iunior-High Chorus. The final performances of the year were by our special glee clubs at Com- mencment and Graduation Exercises. These groups, in order to be suitable for these types of performances, were of ne- cessity much smaller than the regular cho- ruses. This year, the chorus has laid a good foundation, through learning the basic principles of music on which to build an excellent chorus. .Ai SPRING CONCERT GROUP JUNIOR AND SENIOR CHORUS First row fleft to rightf: Mary Spurling, Madeleine Huntley, Dorothy Berry, Charles Savage, Samuel Hatt, james Whynot, Vvayne Bridgham, Carl Hooper, Alan Graves, Donald Vane, David Reed, John Woodman, joe Ellsmore, Robert Allen, Keith Smith, Rebecca Schoppee, Karen johnson.

H. S. participated in a contest on an essay on the Constitution of the U. S. A. A number of titles relating to the Constitution were given the students from which they were to choose one to write about. The essay was to consist of at least four typewritten pages and they were to be at least a ten minute reading. Four finalists spoke their essays at the Congregational Vestry on Tuesday, March 6. Rebecca Carroll was awarded First prize. Rebecca also represented M. H. S. at the county contest held at Calais Academy Auditorium on Friday, March 16. LIBRARY Each year our school library increases in value and usefulness to the student body who learn to find in the library an indispensable wealth of material related to the subject matter they study, as well as a wide selection of books to be enjoyed at leisure. Laurence Foster is head librarian as- sisted by the following students who are in charge of the library for one study peri- od a day: Neil Cole, Edith Bryant, Iohn Callahan, Sam Hatt, Patsy Parlin, Darine Schoppee, and Kenneth Morse. Mrs. Sproul is our faculty advisor. Our books are catalogued under the Dewey Decimal System which is so wide- ly used throughout the country, and our rules, drawn up by the staff and advisor, are similar to those one would find in any library, large or small. The students are given instruction in using the card cata- logue, classifying books by the Dewey System, using reference books, and con- ducting themselves properly in a library. This training should be useful not only during their school career but also throughout life. We all agree that our library plays an important part in our school curriculum. SOPHOMORE HOP One of the big social events of the year was the Sophomore Hop held on Friday, March 2, at the Grange Hall. The ex- hilarating music of Diddy Hall's Orches- tra put everyone in a gay and festive mood as he glided over the floor.

S. gymnasium, under the capable supervision of Coach Arthur Gardner. Of the twenty boys pres- ent for practice, all were kept on the squad except three. Iohn Callahan was chosen manager and Bruce Ingalls assis- ant manager. Our first game was played at South- west Harbor with Pemetic High on De- cember 2nd. Pemetic clicked well on their home floor and the Bulldogs were sound- ly trounced 62 to 39. The scoring for Machias was evenly divided among the first five. Then on December 6th, M.H.S. played host to the Ionesport Five. The Bulldogs. starting with a bang, led at the quarter 15 to 5 and went on to defeat Ionesport 60 to 38. Woodman, Bridgham, and Vane held down the scoring honors for Machias with sixteen, fifteen, and fifteen points respectively. On December 12th, M.H.S. invaded Eastport to play the Shead team.

Then in the three minute overtime, Shead scored two floor shots to Bulldog's one and took the game 51 to 49. Vane and Moore held down the scoring honors with 13 and 18 points respectively. On December 15th, Lubec traveled to Machias with a strong team which was beaten 68 to 52. It was a close game at the start, but Machias pulled away during the second half. The scoring was quite well divided among Moore, Bridgham, Foster and Vane accounting for seven- teen, fifteen, thirteen, and eleven points respectively. December 16th, Pemetic High School traveled to Machias to play the Bulldogs for the second time. The Bulldogs started slowly, being on the short end of a 14 to 7 score at the end of the first quarter. The Bulldogs fought hard to get back into the game and outscored Pemetic 16 to 11 dur- ing the final quarter, but when the gun went off, the Machias Five had lost 52 to 48. Moore and Vane came through for Machias with 13 points apiece. Then on December 20th, Machias traveled to Dexter. The home team start- building up a 23 to 7 lead quarter.

On Ianuary 5th, the Bulldogs journeyed to Woodland and started the New Year right by Winning 46 to 35. On Ianuary 19th the Raiders of Wash- ington Academy played host to the Machias Five and were beaten 55 to 20. As the Bulldogs really got going, they built up a big lead in the early part of play and kept adding to it throughout the evening, Bridgham, Vane and Foster looked good with fourteen, sixteen, and ten points respectively. On Ianuary 11th, a strong Calais team traveled to Machias and was beaten badly to the tune of 62 to 37. The game was quite even for the first three quarters with the score at the end of the third quarter M.H.S. 36, C.M.H.S. 31. How- ever, in the fourth quarter, the Bulldogs 34 THE MARGARETTA really poured it on, outscoring the visitors 26 to 6. The scoring honors were evenly divided among Bridgham, Vane, Wood- man and Moore, with seventeen, fifteen, thirteen and twelve points respectively. On Ianuary 16th, M,H.S. made its way to Ionesport.

On Ianuary ninteenth, Machias played host to an undefeated Beals team. Beals piled up an early lead and although out- scored 19 to 11 during the final quarter, they still won 62 to 55. Moore, Bridgham, Vane, and Woodman held down the scc-r- ing with eighteen, twelve, twelve and ten points respectively. Ianuary 23rd Machias played the East- port Five at Machias. The Bulldogs were eager to revenge their previous overtime defeat at the hands of Eastport and won 58 to 52. The game was fairly even throughout. Although the score was quite evenly divided among the first five, Moore had one of his best nights with twenty-four points.

They were out to make it two in a row over the 'iBlue Devils , but the home team proved too sharp on its own floor and M. H.S. was beaten 51 to 37. Vane held down the scoring honors with 17 points. On February 10th Machias went to Calais to play the first game of the tour- nament with Lubec, whom they had beaten twice during regular season play. Machias was beaten 63 to 59, as the Bull- dogs just didn't click. The scoring was evenly divided among the first five, Then in a post-season polio benefit game in February The Bulldogs were defeated by Beals 67 to 46. Beals showed the type of play that later carried them through to the State Championship and were never headed after the second quar- ter. The scoring honors were again evenly divided among Bridgham, Vane, Foster. Woodman, and Moore with 19, 7, 6, 12 points respectively. That brought to a close the successful season of 1950-51.

On the 28th of September the Raiders of W.A. invaded Machias for a game looked forward to every year by both teams.

Those elected were as follows: Captain, Alma Chadwick, Pat Munson, Esther Sprague, Rebecca Schop- pee, Evelyn Whitney, Iulia Wiswell, and Ioann Hanson. Not to be outdone by the boys in their snappy new uniforms, the girls, too, presented a colorful picture in their flashy orange and black costumes. Not only their uniforms but also their peppy cheers put zip into many games for they appeared not only at the home games, but accompanied the Bulldogs to all out-of- town games as well. There was also a I.V. Cheering Squad made up of the following girls elected by the Varsity Cheerleaders: Captain Peggy Davis, Iulia Dinsmore, Iulia Iordan, Helen McCaleb, Ioyce Ellsmore, Mary Bannon, and Barbara Ingalls. The layvees also had attractive cost- umes of black skirts, white blouses and orange ties. Exchanges BroadCast',, Calais Memorial High School: We enjoyed your year book very much.
