We feel that we have done our best to make the paper a little more complete in some respects than it has ever been before. Of course there will be plenty ot' criticism but we have learned to ex- pect it and would feel lost without it. For if we do our level best, some are sure to say we could have done better. If we print selections from the Exchanges, some say we are too lazy to be original. lf we make jokes, they say we are silly and foolish, and if we omit them it is because we lack wit, If we give a compliment, we are looked upon as partial and if we don't we are considered unap- preciative. Therefore, how well we have suc- ceeded in making this paper a suc- cess we leave for you to judge. May your criticism be as gentle and help- ful as possible. The More Prepared, The More Powerful To-day We are laying the founda- tion for the men and women of to- nu rrow. It was Wlillmott who said, l'lalueation is the apprenticeship of life. Shall we not make the most of our opportunities and develope our minds to compare favorably with the other intelligfent people of our time or shall we pass by these oppor- tunities by neglecting our 'studies time to frivolous are questions that each for himself. and devoting our pastimes? These we must answer Our future life depends, to a great extent, upon the days of our youth. 'l'herel'ore, if we, as students, wish to make our mark in the world We must from new on devote ourselves to the variety of tasks set before us here at school. In order to do this We must first be bodily as well as mentally fit. This can be done by combining work with play and then when we reach manhood and woman- hood we shall be ready for the bigger things that await us in this busy, progressive world of ours. Let us keep ever before us the idea that the more knowledge We attain now, the more powerful will be our station in the days that come. Elura The sandwich sales were not con- tinued this quarter. The Athletic Club had one sale at recess ol' LlSrzUll,- ed chocolate bars and small boxes ol' chocolates.. A fair sum was realized. While the snow was so deep this winter and the electric cars were held up, on March 8 the boys volunteered to help shovel olf the track as the car was needed for town int-vtiiig, By the assistance of some of the men and the school boys, the Madison end of the line was cleared for u:-e. ln appreciation of this work Mr. Swett has very kindly consented that the school may have the use of a var at any time without a g'uarantee. We extend our thanks to Mr. Swett. Plans are being' made for a .lunivr Night, June 11, in Union llall. A few plays are under consideration now. The Prize Speaking' Contest be- tween the schools of Skowhegan, North Anson, and Madison was held the 21st of May in Slqowhegan.

He has been very successful with his fine tenor voice and his violin. His favorite song is Oh What a Pal is Mary. We always thought Clyde was cut for the ministry but he now plans to take a course at Harvard Dental School. Then he is going to make a specialty of pulling hens' teeth and will begin his practice down on the farm in Starks. Helen Annie Barley Helen Class-play f3Jg Dramatic Club plays f4Jg Speaking Contest f4jg Secretary of the Ath- letic Asociation MJ, Salutatorian. lf knowledge is power, Helen is a buzz wagon that will go some. Capable, business-like, de- pendable, big hearted, a. true friend-that's Helen, our all-round girl. Her jolly, inspiring smile is known all over M. H. S. and she's just the person to whom one should go to obtain valuable advice. We wouldn't change one thing' about you, Helen, for you're just all right. Dorothy Brown UDOFEH Class Treasurerg Valedictorian. Many :1 clever poster, many a dainty plnoard has come from this young lady's skillful brush, Do1i s talents are many, her dancing and musi- Cal abilities are not among the least of these. Dorothy doesn't make much noise in the class room, but she knows-and what is more the teachers know that she knows. Dorothy ex- pects to go to Wellesley in the fall. 12 THE BOUNCEK 'f-- Q----W' Robert Jefferson Calden Bob Class-plny 135: Dramatic Club plny fill: l'resiclent ol' the lll'fIlUlllllC Club 1453 Oration.

She is noted fo,r her sweet disposition and the mastery of the so-called domestic arts. Her greatest diversions appear to be the movies and card playing. Just to look at her, would you think it possible? Well Em, we wish you good luck in whatever you choose to do in the future. ' Virginia Ellen Fowke Ginny Class-play C313 Dramatic Club play MJ. Ginny is the girl with the sweetest of smiles. She comes to us from Anson and mighty glad we are to have her here. As a graceful, charm- ing, elderly lady in a dramatic club play, Vir- ginia cannot be beaten. .She is undecided what tc do but favors teaching. , : .of..

Giggle away, Eddie, pig- gles never hurt anyone, and often times they lift the clouds from the hearts of others. Eddie has made a record in baseball that wont be forgotten by M. H. S. As a bashful soldier in the class-play-he only acted natural. Just a warning, child. Be careful! Girls are fickle and Boston is a long way off even though those letters do make the distance seem shorter. 1 14 Ve l , R, v. Y ,. ,,,A ., . I . ..,. 1- , :.. , G ,g y .

Happy is our most demure lass, but Oh, We wonder if it is said demureness that makes her so popular with the masculine part of our class. We are inclined to think not.

THE BOUNCER Violet Stapleford civil: This petite damsel, dainty as the flower her name represents, has been with us during the whole of our high school course. Her at- tractiveness has stolen many hearts of the op- posite sex in the last two years. As her pict- ure shows Violet is a strong supporter of the Marcel Wave. Alta Bernice Tinkham A, B. T. Claws play 1315 Dramatic Club plays 121 141: Alta hails from Anson. A. B. T. is only sweet sixteen, she is famous for her shy blush- es and saintly appearanceg but when you know her deep down- you'd be surprised. Her favorite poet is Burns, the probable rea- son is because he wrote I Love My Jean. Her greatest problem is where and when to go after she leaves M. H. S. Raymond Viles HRayH Dramatic Club play 1213 Class-play 1313 Treasurer of the Athletic Association 1413 Baseball team 121 131 141. Does he look like a farmer? Well he isn'tg that is, not wholly. One cannot be a. goo.d farmer and a crack ball player at once. Many a time has Ray stood on the ball Held watch- ing the descending ball with half-closed eyes knowing full well that to miss was to lose the game, but always amid the jeers of the enemy and the shouts of his comrades his glove would slip around the ball and the next instant it would be flying through the air to do eiiicient work in another quarter. Ray will probably attend business college and then-well, busi- iness will. have to take a boom. THE BOUNCER 19 Nellie Stevens Welch Nellie Class-play C313 Exchange Editor 1455 Chairman W. S. S. Committee C415 Class Will. You have certainly made a record at lVI. H. S. Nellie. When anyone wants anything donef- irom decorating the hall to teaching Latin-f they go to Nellie, and she's right there with the goods. She is thinking of training for a nurse, hut if sfhe does it will he a catastrophe lecause everybody will immediately become sick. Her greatest fault is wanting something she cannot haveg for instance' natural curls and a graceful, slim figure. After all Nellie is a good sport. Ruth Emma Wescott Ruth Pictures are sometimes deceiving. Al- ihough Ruth looks quiet and demure, her classmates do not always see her thus. For instance-when a trip is proposed-possibly to Athens which is only a small hamlet on the edge of the woods, how excited she gets. We tan account for it only one way. namely her enjoyment of a quiet evening with plenty of cc-untry rustics for company. .griliiv ,:5g:pQg4g24fg1:. llmlaiifrli 1 - Q4 U-g P Lh9.3:gg3?f?2f ' 4 O lui it ' !5:7:'2 V4 1' s.

Our schedule had been completed and it is one of the best that this school has ever had. We were scheduled to play fifteen games hut the first two games had to be cancelled on account of rain. We procured the services of Mahlon Cavanaugh as coach, and a large num- ber of baseball candidates turned out 9 I3 '23 for the first practice. Inside of a week the first team had been picked and we were ready for action. Our Ilrst game was with Good Will on their grounds May 1, and the cli- mate certainly agreed with us, for we gave them a decisive beating by the score of 9-2 in a clean, fast game. If we could play all of our games as well as this one we should have a Hue record. THE BOUNCER 23 We were warned that the first game brought too much confidence to a team if they won it, and we guess it appl.ied to us, for we opened our sea- son on the home grounds on May 3, playing Lawrence High of Fairfield. They walloped us to the tune of 11-6. All around poor playing was the cause of our down-fall. Our nexf frame was with Skofwhegan at Skowhtgan on May 5. We were beaten by the score of 11-4 and all we can say is that we played a very poor game. Just have patience Fans, wait until they come up here. In our next game we redeemed ourselves by beating Waterville on our home grounds on May 8. The score was G-1. Madison played shut- out ball. Then camo what was supposed to be our hardest game, that with Oak Grove Seminary, at Madison on May 12 and we certainly gave them a big scare. If we had had any sort of' a break we would have been victorious. They beat us 4-3. lt was a great game and we szhculd be proud of our team. Good Will came to Madison for their return game with us on lVlay 15. Good Will has not ther team she used to have, as is shown by the score, which was 18-6 in our favor. Mad- ison's batting featured. These are all the games we have played up to this time and so far we have a percentage of .500, having won three and lost three. We appreciate the support that the townspeople are giving us and we know that the team wil-.l try its best to do credit to the school, as well as to the town. We expect a successful season and as it is not yet half over that is. plen- ty of time for everybody to show their spirit. We are having a great deal of dif- ficulty with our outer field on the baseball diamond this year, caused by the large amount of rubbish that has been dumped there. It is gradually covering all of our diamond back from the infield. All should realize the danger of this to players who play in either of the three fields, and we hope that there will be no more rubbish dumped there. The students have cleaned it out as well as pcmi- ble, so let every person see that it is kept clean. One of our games this season might have had a different ending if it had not been for this dump. rrmiiif . ' if ' 0 . I' A' A 'sth'-7,4 ,f .23 Q.

Instead of commenting on all of our exchanges we are quoting' short articles from some of them, which seem to be of particular interest, THE ORACLE: One of our best changes., Your literary and exchange departments are excellent. We es- pecially like your story, 4'The Rip- plesf' .You certainly have some art- ists in Bangor High. THE HERALD: Some excellent stories are to be found in your liter- ary department. The Freshman Number contains some very good ad- ! -Zo vice for members of the entering class. THE E. L. H. S. ORACLE: Con- gressman Reed said, It is the spirit that makes the school, the city, and the nation. Work and make good. Students ol' M. H. S. let's put this advice into real practice. OAK LEAVES: 'The best is none too goodf Any man or any organi- zation choosing: this adage for a mot- to is hound to succeed. They will have hitched their wagon to a star and that star will be the highest and noblest, because it will be the best. Hitching one's wagon to a star means that however good or sucessful the present is, it is not good or successful enough: and that satisfaction will only be gained when the best has been attained. THE LAUREL: What would hapl pen if, now in these troublous times, the students were to strike? If now, the entire student body of the State of Maine were to strike and go marching' through the streets bear- ing posters to, this effect: 3 Hrs. per Day: Shorter Lessons: No Such Thing As Being' Sent To The Office: what a terrible thing it would be. Think ol' the vacant rooms and halls, good for nothing but jails. Think of the S THE BOUNCER 25 textbooks that would soon be good for nothing. We hope that all stu- dents will have too much regard for the public school system of the Uni- ted States to do any such thing. THE BREEZE: The April edition shows an interesting and well bal- anced paper. Your Literary depart- ment Contains some fine stories and suggestions. for the betterment of the school. THE AROOSTOOKAN: Your win- ter issue is well arranged. All of the departments contain very interesting reading. The last of April we re- ceived the first copy of your month- ly fiyer and we wish you all pos- sible success in this undertaking. Don't forget to remember M. H. S. THE BRECCIA: In business hous- es the month of January is devoted to stock taking. Deering High is a business of learn- ing. Inventory has been taken and we know how we. stand. A new sup- ply of material has been brought in. The total profit or loss is made known and a worthy effort is made to in- crease the learning of this year-by some. Are you one of these? THE LEAVITT ANGELUS: We have received two copies of this in- teresting paper. In an editorial in the Alumni Number we found the following expression: 4'Co-operation is a big word these days: let's use it in practice Knot in theoryj and let's do it now. KING EDWARD'S CHRONICLE: This fine paper from England con- tains many topics of interest. From one we quote the following: The Bishop of Birmingham slaid that the School was one of the glories of the city and appealed to old Edwardians to retain for the School that love which a boy should always retain for the place where he was educated. THE MAINE CAMPUS: What is needed to ensure a successful ath- letic season is the support of the student bodyj to an individual. All of us can attend practice and thus show the teams that the student body is actively behind them. The BATES STUDENT: Is always welcome at M. H. S. We thoroughly enjoy reading it, as it gives us a good idea of the benefits gained from a college education. THE BOSTON UNIVERSITY BEA- CON: Speaking about unrest at col- lege The Beacon says: Work is the real cement-not talk. It is all very well to study to maintain the schol- astic standing of the past: it is all very well to cheer at the games. Yet neither cheering nor study will be the large part of our life after col- lege days. It is a working worldg a world that needs workers all pulling in one direction. THE ANCHOR: This is a well ar- ranged and interesting pa.per. Judg- ing from your poet's corner we think that you must' have some future Longfellows or Whittiers among your students. THE PENNANT: An excellent pa- per containing some very fine stories and jokes. The students of M. H. S. are always glad to receive this ex- change. THE OLYMPIAN: This is a good piece of advice of the restless stud- ents: Although the call of spring is almost impossible to resist, thought and time must be put on the daily duties, school work in, our particular case. It is drawing near the end of the year, and we should derive as 26 THE BOUNCER much benefit from it as possible.
