BULLDOG 1947 'I9 EDITORIALS CHOOSING A VOCATION Have you chosen your vocation? Or don't you know what field to enter? Ask yourself these questions: l. In what Held does my interest lie? 2. Am I capable of successfully com- pleting training in that course? 3. Is money my chief obstacle? Classmates, there's no ceiling on oppor- tunity today. Business and industry are crying for men and women of ability for high positions. It's only logical that the young men and women with the most training, initiative, and education will be the first to procure permanent positions. Thus, it is necessary for high school grad- vatcs lo become skilled in a particular Held. There are several ways in which one can work his way through college-with- out selling magazines, too. Write to the college which you prefer asking for infor- mation on opportunities that will cut down expenses. Then, of course, there are the summer jobs. In one summer one can earn his tuition to college easily now. Perhaps you haven't discovered the right course yet. There are always the fields of business administration, law and medicine. Right now more than 120,000 nurses are needed to fill vacancies. In this air and atomic age the electrical, aeronautical, civil, and chemical engineer- ing courses are important. You boys scoff at the thought of busi- ness administration, foreign trade, or com- merce. You say, Aren't there any outdoor occupations? Certainly. There is the building in- dustry including masonry, carpentry, and architecture. Conservation is an intensely interesting and wide-spread field. Study of soil, forest, fish, and game conservation would interest any young American. The American Forest Industries can provide further information on this. Girls and boys alike may obtain good paying positions once they have studied psychology to obtain a job as a personnel manager in the huge department stores. The psychologists who are employed in the state institutions may not be paid as well as the personnel group, but they may prove to have a more interesting occupation. Did you especially like sociology? Social welfare workers are greatly needed. This also is interesting work. There arealso numerous advantages for girls in merchandising, dress designing, art. foreign trade and diplomacy. Yes, the sky is the limit for opportun- ities in this age. Explore the different fields-find out what you'll be happiest doing. You may spend the rest of your life in this occupation. Choose well--choose an occupation that will make you happy. GLORIA FRANKLIN, '47 ARE WE PROUD OF MAINE I-Iave you ever been to Maine, the play- ground of the nation? If not, you have missed a rare treat. Maine, according to the people who look in on us, is still holding her own against the Indians. We, the people of the Pine Tree State, believe that we have ad- vantages equal to if not superior than those of any other state in the Union. We are not trying to make any rash statements, but have you ever considered the various bene- fits and resources which Maine has? There is the scenery. In the early autumn, do you ever take your camera and go for a walk over the hills, snapping pic- tures of the beautiful foliage in our great forests, or take a canoe ride into the center of one of Maine's beautiful lakes where you can lean back and let your glance wander over the distant purple-blue moun- tains, harmonizing so beautifully with the rainbow coloring of the sunset? What would you do at a great dinner without our Aroostook potatoes? Aroo- stock county, although located in the northernmost corner of the state, is called 20 M. H. S. BULLDOG 'I947 The Garden of Maine because of its beautiful, rolling potato fields. Of course, we can't forget our lobsters and clams which are well known and greatly liked by inhabitants of other states. ln summer, people of other states do notice us. Our beautiful resorts, spacious hotels and crystal lakes attract vacationists from all over the country. We have many noted summer resorts in Maine such as: Bar Harbor, Moosehead Lake. Boothbay Harbor, Camden, Old Orchard, and Lake- wood where famous novelists, artists, and actors come for their vacations and perhaps stay for the entire summer. Directors bring their well-known Broadway plays and eminent stars to our theatres. In the winter, there are the many sports such as skating, skiing and tobogganing. Adults and children alike hurry home from work and school, climb into their ski suits and make a dash for the long, rolling ski trails. Everything is not play in our lovely Maine, for we have our sober side also. There are the famous Pepperell and Bates mills known throughout the country for their sheetings and bedspreads. We supply other parts of the country with various things such as stone, timber, lime, cotton. and wool cloth and hay, oats, and potatoes. Maine authors are read and admired throughout the world. Among the most prominent of these are: Edwin Arlington Robinson, Kenneth L. Roberts, Robert Peter Tristram Coffin, Edna St. Vincent Millay and Mary Ellen Chase. These are just a few of Maine's im- portant assets. Remember, when next someone says. Are you from Maine? to reply Yes, and proud of it. JOAN FITZGERALD, '48 PEACETIME ATOMIC ENERGY When one thinks of atomic energy . he automatically connects it with atomic bomb and destruction. This may be due partially to the impressive reports of this subject by the various newspapers and magazines and the exaggerated effects of the bomb. The atomic bomb is, no doubt, very powerful, but it does not devastate whole cities in a single stroke. To the awakening public, atomic energy is coming to mean not destruction, but unlimited power. Some of the experi- ments which have been tried would be im- practical for widespread use: nevertheless. they are a beginning. The controlled release of atomic energy is thus a matter of present-day importance, The most obvious method of producing energy from atomic lission is to heat a cooling agent in the chain-reaction unit and pass this heated coolant through a heat exchanger which heats steam to turn a turbine. The revolu- tionary process above, aside from the plant itself, would be identical with the plants in standard use. This would necessitate the use of a shield Weighing tons to protect workers from the radiation of the cooling agent. Therefore, the use of atomic energy for powering cars and airplanes of ordinary size is not in sight. There are, however, two decided advantages in the use of atomic power. The rate at which the fuel is consumed in proportion to the energy released is extraordinarily low and the rate at which the power is developed is easily controlled and highly flexible. In areas of high transportation rates, the amount of energy in one carload of uranium would equal the energy in thou- sands of carloads of coal. Until we become more familiar with atomic energy, atomic power plants would have to be operated by health supervisors, trained specialists in radiological problems. lf present developments are indicative, medicine holds the greatest promise for,use of atomic energy in the near future. The use of radio-isotopes as tracers have had phe- nomenal success. ln case of an injury, these tracers are used to trace the extent of blood flow to necessitate a minimum of amputa- tion. Radioactive iron is being used to trace red blood cells in shook cases. Sr-39, the strontium isotope, is being used to de- termine the healing of bone fractures. Only two radioisotopes have proven their therapeutic value since the discovery of artificial radioactivity in 1934 by Joliot M. H. s. nuunoc 1947 21 and Curie. These two elements are phos- phorus-32 with a half life of 14.3 days and iodine-130 and-131 with half lines of 12.6 hours and eight days respectively. Radioactive phosphorus has been used in the treatment of polycythemia, the over- activity of the red blood corpuscles, and such neoplastic diseases as different types of leukemia. On the former, radioactive phos- phorus therapy has resulted in the almost complete remission of a vast majority of patients. On the first type of leukemia, therapy produces freedom from X-ray sickness and prolongs life about six months. The treatment of the other form of leu- kemia by P-32 is no better than therapy by X-rays. I-130 and-131 are used in treat- ment of hyperthyroidism and thyroid can- cer. Nearly every patient suffering with hyperthyroidism recovered upon being fed large doses of radioactive iodine. The use of the iodine isotope on thyroid cancer allays the symptoms for awhile. At the present time it can only be stated that radioactive isotopes are curative agents in cases of hyperthyroidism and polycy- themia. One tends to be disappointed by the seeming failure of isotopes in curing can- cer. Cancerous tissue has been shown to contain more amino acid than normal tissue and experiments are being conducted to synthesize amino acid containing radio- active elements. In that way, an entirely new field would be opened in the fight on cancer. The surface of medicinal uses for isotopes has just barely been scratched. On some diseases, isotopes have proved themselves superior to X-ray therapy. The atomic energy power plant is but a practical theory that will be tested in the near future. No one knows how wide this scope is. In fifty years, atomic energy may be obsolete. One can be positive of one fact, science never retreats but always forges ahead. NORMAN WESTON, '48 The National High School Poetry Associa- tion has accepted for publication in its Anthology the following poems written by the Iunior English Class, under the direction of Miss Evans: ODE TO AN ORNITHOPTER You birdlike wonder of the sky Held there, as if by strings of God Who guides and safely brings you home Where man keeps watch through day and night That once again you may fly off, O'er hills which pass beneath your wings Where worry of the toilsome world Is left below and soon forgot. Joi-IN HALL, '48 TREES Oh, you beautiful trees All alone You stand day in, day out Whispering. I wonder what you say About us. Why are you so mournful Ev'ry day? Don't you ever tire? Why not smile? You sway when the wind blows Then you sigh. Now you're coated with ice, Weighted down. Now, you giants, speak up For yourselves. LENA THEBARGE, '48 THE TREE What dost thou do, O tree? Why dost thou shed thy leaves? Why dost thou delight to revel in mock Solemnity on the weakness of the human race Or reach thy leafless arms in supplication To that God who seems so near? NORMAN WESTON, '48 TREES The weather-beaten trees their silhouette I see Against the still snow-covered face Of earth's own woven robe of White. Next spring when weather's warm again, The buds will come once more in green To clothe the trees throughout the summer months. WILLIAM KENNEDY, '48 22 M. H. S.

That's what I thought anyway until-oh, yes, it happened, all right. It was just an ordinary day-not a thing unusual about it. It wasn't the least bit like the day you would expect it to be. The sun had come up at about the usual time. It wasn't particularly sunny but still it wasn't rainy either. It didn't even happen on a special day: in fact, it was on just plain Wednesday right in the middle of the week. Yes, it had been a most cus- tomary day. My alarm clock had gone off at exactly seven. I got up at exactly seven-thirty. The morning shower hit me with that custo- mary icy feeling. The same wrinkles were in my tie and even the same left suspender wouldn't stay fastened. At eight I went downstairs and found my wife just as crabby. I ate exactly the same breakfast that I have eaten for the past ten years. The coffee burnt me and the butter, of course, wouldn't melt on the toast. So, as you can see, it was a per- fectly ordinary, normal, and customary morning. I had gone down to the bus stop and was getting on, before I realized what had happened. There he was right in front of me. That's the part that I just couldn't believe. Instead of racing down the street carrying his coat, necktie, and sometimes his pants, he was calmly getting on the bus with plenty of time. Yes, it's true all right. This time Dagwood Bumstead made the bus: he didn't have to catch it. JoAN WING, '47 THE MIGHTY NIMROD My name ees Juan. One fine day w'en the feesh are biting line, my ole fren', Jeem Parker, ask me eef I wants to go feeshing weeth heem. I don' know w'at thees ees as I jus' move to Maine. W'en 'e esplain, I say, I try. 'E tell me to get bock's tail as 'e got rest of feexings. I deed not know at that time that a bock's tail was a fly for feeshing. Py golly, I run roun' and roun' that zoo chasin' that bock an' trying to cut off hees tail. I steel feel sore w'er I shouldn't on accounta that fresh Zookeeper prod me weeth peetchfork an' haul me eento court. I have to pay five dollair for that opset. Jeem, 'e say I don't know 'nough 'bout feeshing so 'e takes me hunteeng for rac- coon. That I know somesing about. Well, one dark night, w'en the moon she shoold be out, she stayed een.

I go up an' as I reach for 'coon, I hear speeting noise. Then, those green spots een front of me tell me somesing. My brain. she cleek. She work fast as she has never done before. Just as my mind tell me thees theeng ees a bobcat, she also tell my working mussels to get me out of thees place fast. Jus' as I fall out of tree, thees bobcat fall on top of me. Jeem, 'e peek off bobcat een air an we gets feefteen dollair for bounty. The only reason I deedn't get keeled was that Jeem's poor dog, she was under me. NORMAN VVVESTON, '48 MY LONG-DESIRED FUR COAT I am the owner of a very unusual fur coat, sold to me by Mr. XVatts, a salesman from Norwood. He called the coat a rare silver fawn, and as he held it out for me to examine said, Madame, this is a very choice fur coat. Never does it have to be packed away in cold storage: moths will not destroy it. If you wish to keep its appearance the same as new, brush and comb the fur often. This coat may even get wet, as long as it is dried out quickly. With good care it should last you for at least ten or twelve years. You may be very proud of this coat. It is a rare specimen, and there are few like it in this country. The last one I had was imported from England, and not for sale! As I ran my hand down the shimmer- ing black stripe which ran down the back of the fur coat, it almost seemed to be M. H. S. BULLDOG 'I947 29 alive. The bright sun made every hair tip gleam with silver. I purchased the coat at the unbelievably low price of a hundred dollars. I told Mr. Watts to send it by express to me in Maine. Finally on February sixth, during a cold blizzard, I received a telegram from him saying that he had shipped my fur coat which should arrive in Madison that fore- noon. I could not wait for the expressman to deliver it, so eager was I. Despite the severe storm, I set forth for the express office some distance from my home. The Maine Central Transportation truck was just unloading the express, as I came in sight of the oiiice. Our express agent called out to me. Your package is inside by the stove. Go right in! I did, and there in a box two beady little eyes were peeping out at me. I reached in, and pulled out my sweet little pug puppy, Peter. CRYSTAL YOUNG, '50 UNFINISHED BUSINESS Sue shouted, Tom, where are you? It's awfully dark in here, and I'm scared. Tom exclaimed, Oh, don't be such a sissy! If I'd thought you were going to act like this I wouldn't have come. I'm over here in the corner. Sue started stumbling in the opposite direction. Not over there, he cried, turn left: now just keep coming. My gosh, I should think you'd be ashamed of your- self. Sue said in a very low voice, I am, Tom. Tom, startled by her quick agreement, bent to look at her face to see if she were joking, but what he saw must have satisfied him, for he straightened and continued talking. Sue, are you sure Uncle Ned said that he lost it here? Sue exclaimed tearfully, Of course I am! I wish I hadn't told you. All you do is make fun of me. Oh now Sue, he drawled, I wasn't teasing you. I just wanted to find out for certain. Now, it must be around here some place. You start over on that side. I-Iere's your flashlight. Suddenly they heard voices and steps in the hall. Tom, cried Sue, someone's coming. What are we going to do? 'AI-Iide quickly in some packing case. I-Iere, get in here. Now not a sound out of you, or I won't take you to the Football Dance. The two men whom Tom and Sue had just heard rounded the corner and entered the room just as Tom climbed into a packing case. They carried one of these cases. One of them said, What's the hurry, Bull? My feet hurt. Let's just put it down here and fix it later. I want to sit down. Yeah, and what would the boss say if he knew this was the kind of men he hired? It's slipping, Bull. Put it down quick, if you don't want it to fall on your foot. Oh, all right then, but don't let the boss hear about it. Hey! he said in a sur- prised voice, it looks like someone's been in here. The cases have been moved, and there's mud on the floor. You're crazy, Bull: looks the same to me. Oh, my feet hurt! Come on, we'd better go back for the other case. Just a minute, Jack, I'm going to look around. I think you're nuts, Bull, but I'l1 wait anyway. It'll give me a chance to sit down. Bull slowly circled the room, looking behind the cases, seeing nothing. Then he started toward the window. Closer and closer. He reached down to raise the cover of the packing case. A shrill scream filled the room as the curtain closed at the end of Act I JOAN FITZGERALD, '48 L. T. C. Jimmie Jones, a nine year old package of dynamite, was the leader. Everyone catered to him. Likening himself to a queen bee, he made all the other children his workers. One day when the neighborhood gang were playing together, Jimmie had an in- spiration. 30 M. H. S. BULLDOG 1947 Hey, kids, he said, how about form- ing a club and building a tree house be- hind my home? Everyone seemed to be in favor so Jimmie got his workers onto the job. Naturally he bossed the whole thing. Drag- ging boards down through the jungle , fit was called thus by two girls in the group who thought they were the jungle queens, Sheena and Nyohaj one boy called Ceddie, declared that he wasn't going to help build any old tree house, and he didn't even think he'd drag any more boards. Well, Mister Sissy Pants, if you can't drag boards then you can't belong to our club, said Jimmie. Aw, who wants to join your old club? I'm going home and get a cookie from Mama. The week flew by and the L. T. C. Cas they called themselves nowj were getting along very well. Their tree house was al- most completed, and the first meeting was to be held the next day. L. T. C. meant Little Tiger Cubs but as far as anyone could see, it should have been Little Beavers . They certainly worked like beavers completing the tree house. Jimmie was head tiger . Making a speech at the first meeting, he said, There is a war on, you know. Always there are enemy spies about. You must be very care- ful as you slink 'through the 'jungle' tracking them. The gang listened wide-eyed as Jimmie unfolded the danger in being a tracker of enemy spies. He mentioned that they were likely to get shot. Bang! They heard a loud report outside. Many children looked like Houdini jump- ing out of his shoes. Even the brave Jimmie experienced the shakes and felt himself trembling. He recovered sufficiently to say, Be calm, kids. Already enemy spies are aware of our importance and are shooting at us. Days went by and at every meeting a loud bang was heard. At each meeting there were fewer of the so-called brave tiger cubs. Jimmie maintained his mental status and decided upon a plan. He would hide in a tree and catch the spies red-handed. Concealing himself in the tree, he glanced around cautiously. As the meet- ing got under way, he heard a noise. Suddenly he saw, of all people, Sissy Pants Ceddie. Ceddie had two large rocks and a loud noise came forth whenever they were banged together. Jimmie suddenly understood the shots. Climbing down from his perch, he gave Cedric such a bloody nose that a certain mother went to see another certain mother and there started a family feud such as was never known before in that town. Jimmie, however, was happy. He had mussed up Sissy Pants's beautiful mug. JACQUELINE ALLEN, '48 THE TURNABOUT' Allan was walking down Main Street, hands in his pockets and his shoulders slouched. He was feeling dejected-for no reason at all. It was just one of those days when nothing seemed to be going right. Suddenly, as he turned the corner, his shoulders straightened, and he started to smile. The cause of this change? you ask. Allan has just seen a very pretty young girl. Now Allan feels much better. His feet start to move a little faster: his eyes follow the girl, as she darts between the mass of people on the sidewalk. Watch it, Allan, he said to himself, l'don't let her get out of your sight. This means a lot to you. The girl walked into a large department store. Allan followed her at a reasonable distance. She started for the women's de- partment, and Allan followed. He could not seem to get a chance to speak to her. Each time he was close enough to speak, someone darted between them. Allan was determined to catch her. He had been trying to meet her for weeks. Now was his chance-no slip-ups-he musn't let her get away this time. She moved from counter to counter, stopping now and then to finger some article on display. M. H. S. BULLDOG 1947 31 I must catch her before she leaves the store, he said. He saw his chance. She was standing before a counter and no one seemed to be in the way. Swiftly he darted toward her. He tapped her on the shoulder. She turned and came face to face with the detective badge on Allan's lapel. A look of fright came into her eyes. Allan spoke: You are under arrest for theftein department stores. I have been trying to catch you for weeks and finally have. Come with me. BETTY NOBLE, '48 AS I'VE ALWAYS SAID This is the story of Timothy Roberts. Folks will tell you that he just wasn't any good, but I'll tell you his story and let you judge for yourself. I've know Tim ever since he was a little fellow who used to play in the meadow be- hind our home. Tim's father deserted his mother when Tim was just a baby. The shock was too much for Mrs. Roberts, and she died less than a year later. Tim was brought up by his grandfather who died just a few years ago. Thus from babyhood Tim was always referred to as the son of that no-good Jed Roberts. As Tim grew older, he used to spend more and more time at our house. Many rainy days he would come into my kitchen and talk for hours to Becky and me. There I go getting ahead of my story, and you're probably wondering who Becky is. Becky is my daughter, and a more beautiful girl you've never seen. She and Tim grew up together. He looked after Becky when she was just learning to walk, and he continued to look after her through their school years. During these years my neighbors would ask me how I could like that little Tim Roberts. Mrs. Grady, who lived across the street, would come over just to say, I don't see why you let your Becky chunr around with that boy. He just isn't any good. I always let their comments pass because I knew that Tim was a line lad. When Becky and Tim grew older, they made an attractive pair. Becky was just as small and dark as Tim was tall and fair. The summer after Tim's graduation, he enlisted in the army. A year later when Becky graduated, Tim was already over- seas. The following fall Becky obtained a job in the public library. During the next summer Tim was sent home wounded. He came right to our house because his grandfather was now dead. I took care of him because Becky was working every day except Sunday. Being with him, I learned more about Tim than I had ever known before this time. I soon loved him like a son despite all that people said. A year later Becky and Tim were mar- ried in the little white Church on Main Street. Perhaps people weren't too fond of Tim, but they certainly all turned out for the wedding. Everyone agreed that Becky was the most beautiful bride they had ever seen, and they grudgingly admit- ted that Tim made a handsome groom. Becky and Tim rented the little cottage next door, and everything seemed perfect. One Saturday morning about six months later, as I sat on our front porch peeling apples, Mrs. Grady stopped to chat with me. Casually she asked, Well, it has finally happened, hasn't it? I nonchala.ntly inquired, What has finally happened? Why, Tim has deserted your Becky, she retorted. You knew about it, didn't you? As I ran down the front walk towards Becky's house, I heard Mrs. Grady calling after me, I've always said that Tim Roberts just wasn't any good. As I entered Becky's cheery kitchen, all my fears vanished. Becky was tidying up her house as usual. We went out on her porch and began to talk. Gradually I edged our conversation around to Tim. Soon I was telling her what I had heard, and the next thing I knew she was crying as though her heart would break. She confessed that Tim had left during the night leaving a vague note. I didn't inquire about the note because I decided it was personal. The next day Becky went back to her library job, but she kept her own little 32 M. H. S. BULLDOG 1947 house. People couldn't understand why she didn't come home to live, but I knew that she must have her own reasons. Well, that happened over a year ago, and yesterday Becky came bounding into the house just bursting with joy. We talked for awhile and then she returned to her own little home. Tim came home this morning. I've never seen a happier couple than Becky and Tim were when they stopped in here for a minute this afternoon. They had no sooner gone down the walk when Mrs. Grady came in to learn the details. I explained to her as best I could about Tim's work for the govern- ment. I told her that he had been doing some sort of special research work, and would now be famous. I heard her remark to herself as she went down the walk, i'Well, I've always said that someday that Tim Roberts would make something of himself! JEAN ADAMS, '47 THE LOST GENIUS Dr. Douglas Sawyer did not find the silence that pervaded the huge room as monotonous as many a guest surely would have done. He was watching intently the small, child-like figure, sitting in an equally small chair, of the once famous pianist-com- poser, Mark Anderson, as he sat in front of the dying fire. It had been thirteen years since he had become sick and no one had been able to help him. He did only as he was told: eating when food was placed before him and going to bed when someone was there to help him: other than that he sat silently beside his piano, in front of the fire, doing nothing, seeing no one. It had been three weeks since Dr. Saw- yer had come to Green Manor and in that time he had not succeeded in drawing the little man into conversation even once. He had made little progress with him at all and the family would soon begin to won- der if they had hired a trained psychologist. He was beginning to wonder himself! As he sat there pondering his problem, Mr. Anderson's young niece, Marsha, came noisily in the front door. The idea sudden- ly dawned upon him that perhaps she could recall some incident that might help him, so he opened the library door in order to detain her before she went upstairs. Marsha, could I see you alone for a moment? Of course, she replied brightly, the den would be the best place. the den, and after They proceeded to he had shut the door he began: Would again the story of you mind telling me your uncle's illness? Try to think of even the smallest things that may relate to it. One may be the clue we're looking for. Well, she began, there is one thing but it seemed so trivial at the time no one thought much of it. Uncle Mark had just Hnished writing what he thought was a masterpiece and was anxious to have us hear it. You were only a child then? Yes, I was only ten. He invited several of us to dinner that night: my father, a critic friend of his, John Symons, and several more of his intimate friends. There was a storm that night and things were unusually dark. As the feature of the evening he was to play his composition. He played a few light numbers before. The piece seemed endless and went on and on: I grew rest- less: the others began to cough and grow uneasy. When he had finished he turned to us, but did not need to ask what we thought of it. He could see it on our faces. From then on he has never spoken to any of us. At first we thought he was angry, but as time went on we realized it was more serious than that and finally called you. As she finished speaking, a clap of thunder and the sound of rain brought them back to the present. Dr. Sawyer's face brightened. Perhaps if we could reconstruct the scene as it was that evening, he could be brought back to reality again. But before he had iinished speaking, a sound came from the library-the sound of someone playing the piano. Marsha whitened, That's the piece. M. H. S. BULLDOG 1947 33 They rushed to the library, but Mr. Anderson's brother, Stephen, was there ahead of them. Dr. Sawyer spoke urgently, Who else was here that night? It's our only hope. The next few moments were spent in making frantic telephone calls, and within half an hour the scene was complete- just as it was that night so long ago. When Mark Anderson finished playing, applause thundered through the house. Mr. Symons was the first to speak. That was marvelous-truly a master- piece. I've never heard anything like it! A flicker of recognition passed over his face when he saw his brother and Mr. Symons, but the others were unknown to him. Then Dr. Sawyer knew the time had come. He could now begin work with the man who found himself but lost the memory of thirteen years.

LENA THEBARGE, '48 A PIE OF THE 30th CENTURY Instructions: First add two cups of Milky Way to 30 strips of ground Pluto grass and stir cautiously. Slowly add l tablespoon of Mars's spice and small dash of Saturn atmosphere of the spherical hemisphere. You may allow this to stand while making the crust. Be very careful to follow the rules of the crust closely. or you will cause an upheaval of radioactive and cosmic atoms, which would destroy country for miles around. Take the 40-30' azimuth and place in concentric cylinder and proceed to condense it. When mixing the radioactive rays of cosmic type to condensed 40-30' azimuth, the caramel disintegrator must be tuned to 10,000 volumes of electric energy. Mix in salt fairly easy, to prevent the sodium from combining with the radioactive rays. Then to maintain its compound composi- tion, add some magnetic force of minor importance. Ingredients: 30 strips of Pluto grass fgroundj 2 cups Milky Way l tablespoon Mars's spice Small dash of Saturn atmosphere for color. Crust: 2 cups 40-30' azimuth of the spheri- cal hemisphere l tablespoon salt 3 volts of Venus radioactive rays of cosmic type To hold it together, add some mag- netic forces of minor impor- tance. Note: If this has actually been completed suc- cessfully, please send a radatel informing the Interplanetary Scientists' Convention of it, because every time someone does try it he is never heard from again.

BETTY NOBLE, '48 OUT OF GAS Walking down this strange dark road, I found that I was not entirely alone. There were several other people, all strangers, trudging drearily along. I was tired and cold, and above all, I was hungry. The strangers to my right and left seemed to be more or less in a daze, and they seemed as though they didn't want to talk or to answer my questions, as to where we were going or why they were all dressed in black mourning clothes. I looked for someone I might know, but my search was in vain. All of a sudden, in front of us, there seemed to be a sudden glow of warm air mixed with the sweet fragrance of spring flowers. The people about me seemed to smile and sing. Their clothing turned from black to white, and then I could see people I knew. I saw a great flight of stairs up ahead, and I could see the people in the lead all start to climb up them into a shower of golden light. The singing grew and grew from a mournful hum to a spiritual, gay, carefree song, to which there were no special words. Up and up the stairs we went, and the further we went, the brighter the glow, and the louder the music. The air seemed to become pure. The stairway seemed to be endless, and they were becoming more and more difiicult to climb. All of a sudden out of the blue came a thundering voice, Enter, my children, and become a part of a great kingdom. You are getting your just rewards. I couldn't understand what this voice meant, but I started to enter through the gates with the rest. As I stepped through, an arm was put in front of me. A voice said, What are you doing here? Your name isn't on my list. I don't know, was my answer. He asked, What is your name? I told him. He looked very surprised and began to mutter to himself. He looked down on me and said, Just a moment while I check. With this he left me standing all alone. I saw this strange and stately gentleman returning to me with a chart in his hand. He paused and looked at it then said, You have a bad tooth, haven't you? I was shocked with surprise that this stranger should know about my dental defects. I answered, Yes sir. Well, well, he said, and he pushed mc off the edge of the stairs, and sent me hurtling through the darkness. As I was falling I kept hearing, She had a bad tooth, but it's out now. Suddenly I heard my mother's voice and I arose with a start. I found that it was only a dream caused by the gas that the dentist had given me when he pulled my tooth. GLORIA DELANO, '49 AN OLD PROSPECTOR'S TALE Dirt, cobwebs, loose boards, and the creaking of old buildings have all collected in the year that Copperhead has been vacant of smiling people and the lust that they bring with them. The emigration from this town started back in 1865, when two brothers, as we had learned later on, each of whom was coming from a different direction, M. H. S. BULLDOG 'I947 35 were to meet here. Neither had seen the other for more than ten years, probably because of some family misunderstanding. Through my wandering about the country, I pieced the story together as this. ff ak ak As dusk fell upon the desert, Will Storm, the older brother, selected a suit- able campsite for the evening meal. I wonder what Jim wants of me, he thought, reading his brother's letter once again, after he had finished eating. Still his troubled eyes fell upon the words urgent, come at once, and I need you. A restless sleep overcame him. Tomor- row he will be at the end of his tiresome seven day journey from Cheyenne to Copperhead. PF lk ak Jim Storm, having just arrived, ner- vously selected the middle of the street, which was in front of the bank, to watch for his brother. I can't miss him from here, he thought. I can see if he comes from either direction. About noon, a haggard Will came into town. Neither of the brothers recognized the other at first, but when the recognition took place, they quickly hurried to each other. While the meeting was taking place, an excited man came rushing from the bank yelling, The bank's been robbed! Don Taylor's been killed! The bank's---. Seeing two strangers in town hurrying along, he unhesitatingly pointed to the brothers, continued his yelling, There they go! Get 'em! Quickly the gathering crowd engulfed the dumbfounded brothers. Their cries, What did we do? Leave us alonel , did them no good. One fellow, seeing no money bags, added to the many cries of, Give us our money! We want our money! All of this was in vain, for as you and I know the brothers were innocent and couldn't tell them. The crowd, getting more and more hysterical, dragged them to the porch of the general store, to the shouts of, 'lynch ,emily Lynch them they did: they breathed their last cursing the town and the gold it thrived upon. Strange as it seems, the gold vein petered out a few days later. ROBERT EHRLICH, '48 JERRY Words cannot express my love for Jerry. We grew up together, and he has always been more than a girl could wish for, providing comradeship and protection, never deserting me for a minute. He was the most kind and loving playmate I ever had. I met Jerry when I was four years old while walking in the park with my mother. It was a bright, warm day in April, the kind of day when you see so many mothers and children in the park. Mother seated herself on a bench and began to talk with a neighbor, but I, not being interested in domestic problems, wandered towards the center of the park where people were feed- ing the squirrels. Suddenly I heard some- one behind me, and I turned and looked into the most beautiful brown eyes I had ever seen. The owner was very friendly, and it didn't take us long to get acquainted. We were playing on the grass and having a lovely time when I heard Mother calling me. I hurried towards her with Jerry close behind. However, she did a strange thing: she took me by the hand and started walking away without even noticing Jerry. I couldn't leave him, not so soon after meeting him: I tried to tell Mother about him, but she only said it was time to go home and Jerry should go to his home, too. Jerry didn't seem to think so, for he kept following us. Several times Mother tried to send him back, thinking perhaps someone was looking for him in the park and would think him lost, but he would not go. Since it was late Mother decided to let him come with us, and maybe Father would know who he was and where he lived. He did know. When he got home, Mother told him about Jerry, and he said he had seen him playing on the lawn of the big yellow house on the corner of Elm and Center Streets. Dad took him home 36 M. H. S. BULLDOG 'I947 and told the woman what had happened. She said she would keep him in her sight more, but fmuch to my joyj she didn't, for every time I Went to the park or, just walked by the house on the corner, Jerry joined me. Ten years have passed since then. During these ten years I can think of no one with whom I have spent happier hours. During the summers we have swum to- gether, gone on long hikes in the country or sometimes spent a day at the seashore. In the winters we'd skate, ski or just play in the snow. Last week was the last time Jerry and I went skating together. There is a lake situated on the outskirts of town which for the last two weeks has been covered with thick, glass-like ice, perfect for skat- ing. There weren't many people there when we reached the lake, and those who were there were gathered around a fire which they had built on the shore. It was a glorious night for skating- crisp and clear, with a bright moon throw- ing a silver glow over all. I was so eager to be gliding over that glassy surface that I immediately donned my skates. There was no one else on the lake. Jerry was undecided whether to chase me or join those by the fire. I guess the warmth of the fire was too tempting for although he never took his eyes off me, he kept creeping nearer and nearer to the burning logs. The people on the shore sounded merry, but I did not join them. I wanted to be by myself, somehow I had a strange feel- ing that I just wanted to skate away into the shimmering beauty 'of the night, away from everything human. Further toward the center I skimmed, not realizing how far away I was getting. Suddenly I heard a loud cr-aaa-k, then another. Frightened I started to turn around, but I was as one in a dream I could not move-it was impossible to put one foot ahead of the other. For several seconds I just stood there motionless, not knowing what to do, and not daring to move for fear of cracking the ice more. Finally, after what seemed ages to me, I screamed to the people on shore. How queer my voice sounded: it cut through the moon-lit silence like a whip. No sooner had I called than Jerry came running to- ward me. I took one step forward. The ice cracked more. The people were shouting to me to stand still while they went to flnd a rope. During this time Jerry was hurrying towards me, but his weight added to mine, broke the ice, and we both fell into the water. Clothed as I was, it was practically impossible to swim. I tried to grab onto the ice, but it kept breaking under my hands. Then I felt something tugging at my collar. I realized that Jerry had hold of me and was pulling me towards the people who, unable to lind a rope, stood there waiting to pull us out of the water. Jerry reached a place where the ice was thick enough to hold our weight, and he dragged me onto it. Today I am lying in bed, recovering from a light touch of pneumonia. How much quicker I could get well if Jerry were here. But he and I will never have any more good times together because Jerry is dead. After having pulled me to safety, he followed those who were carrying me home. Everyone was so worried over me that they neglected Jerry who must have suffered much more than I did. No one realized he was a hero. When I regained consciousness, I asked where he was, and Mother told me they had found him on the doorstep-dead. Mother said he died of old age, but I believe he had pneumonia, too. He died from the effects of being in the icy water too long. Poor, kind, gentle Jerry. I'll never love another dog as much as I did him. GENEVA FINDLEY, ,47 MY ADVENTURE I was a new piece of rope about fifty yard long, when I left the Philippine Islands in nineteen hundred thirty-six. I sailed on a ship through the Panama Canal, up the eastern coast of the United States, up to Maine. My ship landed in Portland har- bor. M. H. S. BULLDOG 1947 37 I was taken to a warehouse, where I lay for four years. In this period of time I made friends with Butch, a cat. As I had to stay put, he told me what was happening in the outside world. When Butch told me of the war, I hoped I would be drafted, because he had said many people were being called. About two months after Butch had told me of the war, I was taken from my shelf, thrown into a large container with other rope. When I was able to breathe again, I was in Bath Iron Works Yard, or at least that's what the signs said. In a few days I had my first knots tied in me and, oh! did they hurt. One end of me was tied to the anchor and the other to the capstan on a ship. This all took place in the afternoon of May twenty- sixth, nineteen hundred forty. It was twelve p. m. of the same day I was knotted up, that I was Hrst put to use. Two men made a steady tread toward me. One of them pulled up the anchor, un- tied the knot which I was in, cut about ten feet off the end of me, and tied what was left of me back to the anchor. As for the ten feet of me that was cut off, the men twisted me and snarled me until I thought I would scream, then took me and threw me into an old fishing boat. I must have gone to sleep for awhile be- cause it was almost daylight when I heard a grinding noise which was the boat run- ning ashore. From the boat I was taken to a shack where I saw a man all tied up. In a few minutes one end of me was tied to a beam over head, and the other around a man's neck. I am still here in nineteen hundred forty- seven though the birds have eaten the man's flesh and the bones have dropped to the ground, I am lonesome, though I never want another adventure like the last one. PAULINE HILTON, '50 I SHALL BE FREE New Orleans-around 1830 It was long after dark at the Old Greene plantation on a warm sticky night peculiar to mid-July. The murmur of lowered voices drifted from the main and largest of the negro huts. The one room shack was partially filled with black figures-so black that they blended with the darkness. Here and there was a mulatto or an octa- roon breaking the black line. The one candle cast streaks of light undulating as the wind blew through the wide crevices between the wall boards. Seated in the only chair by the table on which the candle stood, was the domi- nant figure of an elderly negro woman. When she raised her wrinkled hand, the mutterings immediately ceased. Her cocoa face seemed to be that of one who had suffered and known many of the cares of the world. She had the undivided attention of the others about her as she talked. We must all work togethah, she said in her steady, husky voice. Yo' heard that ol' boss-man Saunders a-whippin' Shazz agin today. He don got him locked up in the sweat house agin on accounta he caught him readin' dat gov'mint book dat de ol' Judge Matthew gave 'im. Now y'all got yo' d'rections. We gotta git Shazz out t'nite. Ah know a nigger woman name o' Stacia in Baton Rouge dat can git 'im to Jackson whar de underground railroad sta- tion is. Our job is to see dat he gits out o' here and on his way to freedom. Shazz will be mighty helpful once he gits to Cleve- land. Now lets git goin'. Slowly Jericho, a small tubercular lad of sixteen, and Scarlet, a huge red-haired mulatto, keeping in the shadows sneaked to the tiny foot wide sweat house. They broke the lock and unchained Belshazzar. It was incredible that the slave master could have forced this huge six foot negro into the tiny house. The wounds from the whipping were still open and wet. Shazz groaned as he fell out of the house. Scarlet and Jericho helped him to the wagon that Samaria, the old woman, had made ready. She had remembered every- thing-fresh clothing, herb juices for the wounds, and bread and water. Jericho was to drive the wagon until Shazz felt able to take over. So they were off. 38 M. H. S. B UL LDOG 1947 Samaria and Scarlet watched them. They'd probably be .flogged for helping them escape, but it was another step to- ward their own freedom. Such were the thoughts running through the minds of these two. Jericho drove the horse furiously on. They drove all night. When dawn was breaking they had reached the low swamp- lands. They had to kill the horse and destroy the wagon. They must travel through swampland for a day or more. The bayou was comparatively safe, as they could travel in the daytime without be- ing detected. By now there was doubtlessly a posse out searching for the two runaways. They traveled all day through the swamps. It was cool in the early morning. but as the day wore on, the air was close to its dew point. The insects were swarming around them, adding to the discomfort. They swished through the oozy water often waist deep. The dampness was mak- ing Jericho cough more than ordinary. Granny shouldn't have sent Jerry, thought Shazz. His cough is getting worse. I can't send him back now. I have to get him through with me. Late that afternoon they rested in the sanctuary of a huge hollow cypress, the hollow being a natural shelf just above the Water. As they rested, suddenly Shazz heard Jericho draw in his breath. He looked at Jericho whose eyes were as big as saucers. Then his eyes followed Jerry's. There, not three feet away was a cottonmouth, his white mouth stretched wide, squirming slowly towards them. Like a flash of light- ning Shazz drew his knife. He drove it at the creature. Skillfully thrown, the knife found its mark. The snake squirmed, writhed, and then slunk over the shelf into the murky water. It was nearly evening again, and Shazz and Jericho were nearing their destination. They were now out of the swamp land that runs throughout Louisiana and were on the higher land. Their food had long since given out. Could they hold out another day until they reached Baton Rouge and the home of the free negro Stacia? They must get there before dawn, for they were unable to travel by day. They were unable to travel as fast as they had been: Jericho coughed harder with each additional mile. How much farther is it, Shazz? gasped Jericho. Only 'bout fifty miles, boy, answered Shazz encouragingly. I shore wish we had the hoss now. We could make it in no time then. Later as dawn was breaking again, they reached outskirts of Baton Rouge. Shazz. who had been there before in the slave market, knew Baton Rouge well. He went directly through the free but slummish negro district with Jericho close behind. They kept close to the walls so that no one would see them, even though it was the very early morning. Just as they were turning into the dark alley way, Jerry fell to his knees coughing. Shazz although completely fatigued himself, picked Jerry up and leaned against the wall to get his breath back. Then he stumbled around to the back door of the tumbled down building. Shazz, holding Jerry up with one arm, knocked on the door. Open the do', Stacia! he called. What yo' want with ol' Stacia? came a husky woman's voice from within. Quickly Stacia, it's Shazz! said Shazz in a low but distinct voice. Land o' Goshen, boy, git in here fast as you can! It's mos' daylight. Sho'nuff someone'll see you. They went into the darkened room. By the doorway was a white man leaning against the wall. Shazz's heart leapt to his mouth. He was all ready to draw his knife to protect himself and Jericho. Stacia gasped, No, Shazz. It's all right. This here man's gwine take yo' through. He and Judge Matthew don got a railroad station here now. Yo's as good as in Cleveland now. Get them some food and fresh clothing, Stacia. See that they get something hot. That boy has a bad cough. We leave to- night. M. H. S. BULLDOG 1947 39 Shazz then started to talk with the white man. He told Shazz that after he reached Cleveland, he was to take a last name and work in the law office of a brilliant lawyer. There he could continue his study and work towards complete free- dom from slavery. Soon I shall be free, tho't Belshazzar Garrison-for that was to be his name- Ciarrison, after William Lloyd Garrison, the great abolitionist-the nigger lover. Soon, I shall be free, he said aloud. GLORIA FRANKLIN, '47 NAMES Once in a while, a person runs across an individual with a laughable cognomen Or a place with a rib-tickling name. Some names just seem to stand out. The two classifications that we are interested in are: names of people and names of places. Let us first take names of people. This classification, to fit the needs of the author, can be divided into two smaller varieties: those that appear in business firms and those that appear on signs. In Portland, Oregon, there are two business firms with funny names. Good- man and Bader carry on their jeweler's shop and Neer and Farr, also have a business firm there. Wake and See own a law firm in Westport, Connecticut. After we travel from Westport, Connecticut to Bangor, Maine, we can see a shop owned and operated by Merry Christmas and her relatives. In Honolulu, there is a man whose name is S. Ouch. Strangely enough, he operates an ofiice with a sign over the door reading, Dr. S. Ouch, Dentist. At Plainfield, New Jersey, a sign reads, Only Kings Allowed to Park Here. Upon seeing this sign, one is surprised and a little hurt to think that Kings have special privileges in the United States of America. Upon in- quiry, one finds a supermarket operated by a family named Kings. Some old firms had funny names Of men, too. For example, in Charlestown, Mass- achusetts, J. A. Cilly and Company ran a furniture store: Peter Liberty was a lumber- man in Moose River, and C. Trott was a shipbuilder in Kennebunkport. This essay also attempts to enlighten you on a few of the many places with peculiar names. There is a town situated on the west coast of Australia called Marble Bar. Whether or not Christmas, Indiana was first settled on December 25th, I dOn't know. Maine is a state with a great many hilarious names such as: Cross Island near Machias: Castle Hill, Aroostook: Oxbow, Aroostook: Small Point, Lincoln: Smell Point, Lincoln: Christmas Cove: and Woodenball Rock off Penobscot Bay. Everywhere you travel you will encoun- ter funny names, and, still, there will be names of which you never heard the like. NORMAN WESTON, '48 ,-i.1111- THE BIRCH TREE There is a tree, along the path That winds its way beyond the town. Which stands its ground through all the years With roots so firmly planted deep. Amid the troubles of this world It stands so straight its limbs upright That to the people of this town The birch tree symbolizes peace. BEULA RICH, '48 i,1,i-1 THE CROW The crow, so large and black Will eat your corn each spring. You'l1 have to put a scarecrow out To save your seed from him. He's afraid of Mr. Owl Who hoots and flies at night That in the day revenge he'll take And peck the head of the sleeping owl With all his might. . A pest who feeds on wheat and grain Is few times spared by man. On wing, he's slow and hawks so fast Will dive to give a thrill. But all in all insects he eats Which might attack Our beans. Right now, Old Crow, a warning take, Just keep from my young corn! ROBERT RICHARDS, '48 40 M. H. S. BULLDOG 1947 THE HUMMINGBIRD Little bird of open air Your ruby throat I see. You dart around the flow'rs and buds With grace not known to men, But why oh why are you so afraid That human eyes will view your flight? WILLIAM KENNEDY, '48 THE ALLEY CAT Down the street about a block Behind a door that has a lock Lives a cat named Robespierre With one blind eye and one torn ear As you have guessed he loves to fight And shows the other cats who's right. One day a new cat came to call He wasn't wanted, not at all. So they called Robespierre to their aid To drive the new cat who had made His home beside the garbage can And when Robespierre came, oh how he ran Said the others, We'll give him twenty- five rats Now I guess we know who is King of the Cats. DOROTHY LARSON, '49 1- SPRING COMES TO MAINE A melody is in the air For spring has come to Maine. The sap is flowing back once more And fields are bare again. The caterpillar will emerge From strongly spun cocoon: And from the south the birds will come To hatch their young ones soon. The budding pussywillows look Up at the leafless trees. In woods the fragrant mayflowers hide Among their glossy leaves. CRYSTAL YOUNG, '50 Long have you stood there O' silent pine, Weathering the wind, rain and time. When 'ere the wind blows you seem to sigh And we about you know not why. Perhaps you're happy in your own solitary way Or maybe the sun thrills you thru the day. The weight of winter's snow upon your bough. Is sheer ecstasy for us now. And when spring and warmth are here We still hold your greenness as so dear. So to the, O' pine, we drink a toast, Who covers our land from coast to coast. A ALVIDA MANCHESTER, '47 A BROOK I love a gleaming gurgling brook, Fish dart about each swirling nook. The trees which overhang the stream, Have much more beauty than they seem. The fish that slip and swish around. They're here, they're there, but never a sound. The leaves which float along the foam, Are caught on rocks and nevermore roam. The fish, the trees are part of the streams, There's much more beauty that it seems. The water sifts around the bends, And through the fields its way it wends. The bubbles snag themselves on weeds, The fish chase here and there for seeds. I love the water's color, blue, It has more beauty than witches brew. Remember the moss that grows on the bottom, The trout, the chubs, and the boys that caught 'em. They're all the beauty of a brook, That couldn't be pictured in a book. ROBERT ELLINGWOOD, '49 A VACATION Now you see summer at its best When most folks are away for a little rest: No one gets up at the crack of dawn Nor do they move like a baby fawng The older ones enjoy the boat While the children swim around the float: They take a trip down to the pier XVhere the roar of the boats, would deafen one's ear: They have no special thing to do For it's another week before they are due: M. H. S. BULLDOG 1947 41 They lay around most of the day Gosh, what a thing!-a vacation with pay. LEON BISHOP, P. G. LIFE WITH MOTHER NATURE The sleeping sun goes down low yonder hill, ' Its beautiful rays have gone to rest. The sky . . . the water . . . everything is lying still. The evening air is full of new life's zest. The whip-o-will's call across the dark meadow. As she's putting her children to bed. And when I gaze from out of my window, At the sky of orange and flaming red, I wonder if life is worth these things. But now that I am getting older, I have no fear of bee's stings. My heart to Mother Nature's bolder And now I know how to enjoy life, Myself . . . a bachelor without a wife. JOSEPH C. CLEVETTE, JR., '49 MY RED SOCK It's bumpy. true, but it is all my own, My work, on which I labored day by day, My sock, on which I worked without a moan, But now I wish I'd knitted it of gray. I worked on it from morning until night, And in four hours, I'd knit not quite an inch. Oh, no one helped me in my awful plight. I iixed it when I got in a pinch. It's one foot long from heel down to the toe. I'll wear it even if it's somewhat long, 'Cause when I suffered silently, each row Seemed somehow to come out three inches wrong. It's my red sock, though it is bumpy, true, And I'll wear it if it's the last thing I ever do. PATRICIA PRATT, '47 . SONNET OF A LONELY MAN Oh! brisk flames which leap with glee Laughing slap the chimney side. All my dreams are locked in thee There alone they dare abide. Tripping-running adagio Beat your rhythm: forestall the gloom Flaming dancers which lull me so Tap away to hasten their doom. The sparks slowly lose their lively yest The embers blink from sleepy eyes Alone they find a spot to rest I stir-I find myself-I rise. My hidden dreams have taken fiight. They travel on the wings of night. SHIRLEY W. PERKINS, '47 THE CROW On a warm mid-winter day When distant hills and woods are tinted blue You and your kind come streaming from the woods. With raucous calls you descend to feast On some unfortunate animal of the woods Who has fed on the diet of the Winter King. Little reverence you have For a recent neighbor. Vfith much lighting and cawing You pull his tissue asunder. Stomachs filled with carrion You take off across the woodland To torment Eleemos the fox and To disrupt his hunting tour. As the sun sinks low and the hemlocks sigh You start for your sheltering pine And with wing-covered head You sleep in peace the whole night long. RODNEY ARNO, '48 A SHORT TALE The trees, majestic, tall, and straight, stood BI ' Attention as we passed beneath the shade Alive with shifting shadows from the glade Of evergreens and needle pines so squat and fat. Upon a rustic bench worn smooth they sat Recalling events, watching passing throngs parade. Ethereal forms in the patterns the shadows made. 42 M. H. S. BULLDOG 1947 Cn the brown pine needles resembling cocoa mote Danced in weird combinations as the blood- red sun sank below The ragged taps of whispering pines, and then, They rose, as a night breeze began to blow, And the homeward trek across the lane to begin Their solitary supper, then to go To bed-their day has reached a dusky end. CAROL SEAMS, '47 MAINE RIVERS The rivers in the state of Maine Have made it what it is. They've carried men and freight and pulp: They've carved the valleys out. They first were found by men of France Who harvested their furs. They carried Arnold on his way To capture old Quebec. The towns grew up along their banks With factories and stores. To manufacture things from logs Cut from their wooded shores. Before their rapid course was checked By dams at every town. The logs crashed down their white-capped swells To make our towns and mills. But now they light our homes and streets, And murmur on their way. Each spring they rise: each summer, fall, And will, forevermore. LESTER WAGNER, '48 THE SYMPHONY The symphony with rolling chords and trills, Its largo played by violin and Hutes, Andante murm'ring like the rippling rills, The trumpets sounding out in blasts or mutes. The tempi never muddy, always clear, Enrich the theme with which the piece abounds. What forethought given by this orchestra To make the tone produced so clear and round! Each player favoring his instrument, And yet, the leader draws this harmony Entirely as his artist's mind is bent To picture scenes in his, the artist's, way. And so, into the heart the music wends To stay until the beauty, restful, ends. NORMAN WESTON, '48 JAZZ There goes that jazz beat- A mild beat- A wild beat- Here comes that jazz treat- That syncapating sound. Listen to that slow beat- That sad beat- That mad beat- Listen to that low beat- Whirling all around. Everything is rocking,- No one stops for talking, There goes that jazz beat. King of Jazz is crowned. PATRICIA PRATT, '47 BIRCH TREE Deep in the woods the birch tree stands A twisting, rugged, widespread tree A bird might make a nest therein And long upon her eggs might rest. Its leaves could shade and keep her cool While far away the father flew To find his sitting mate a worm. WALTER MERRILL, '48 THE TIRELESS CLOCK The clock ticks away the seconds It's a first class machine every day, It strikes the time on the hour, Each night, each morn, each noon. If it can tell time by the sun. Why can't it tell time by the moon? I've often wondered where we'd be If clocks told time by the stars. The modern age has kept us Ahead of the men upon Mars. So give a salute to the minute, To the hour, and the second, too, , But everytime you set your clock, Remember-it might like to set you DANA GREEN, '47 M. H. S.

On the morning of Friday, October 4, word was received of Mike Chizmar's death. In losing Mike , we not only lost a great athlete but a tried and understanding friend. Then, on Sunday, December 22, Wallace Petley, who had finished an outstanding season on the gridiron, was killed in a tragic accident. The high school lost in him a valuable student while the football squad will find it difficult to replace its captain-elect. Football The 1946 football season brought to Madison high school its Hrst leg on the Madison-Skowhegan-Fairfield t r o p h y when Madison defeated Lawrence 6-0 in the season's opener. The Bulldogs then climaxed a victorious campaign by taking the Indians of Skowhegan, 7-0. Under the tutelage of its new coach, Don Clement, the Bulldogs won all but two of its seven games. High lights of the various games were: Lawrence-0 Madison-6 t'At homej With Norman Morris scoring the only touchdown of the game, Coach Clement's 46 M. H. S. BULLDOG 'I947 boys whacked his former team to their knees. Mike Chizmar chalked up plenty of yardage, while Cody and Henry assisted to give the Bulldogs their irst win. Winslow-20 Madison-6 Capitalizing upon a fumble and using short passes effectively, Winslow went on to beat the Bulldogs in the last half of the game. Our touchdown was made by the late Wally Petley. Mexico-0 Madison--l 2 In a comparatively easy game played at Mexico, Leo Henry and Chap Fortine crossed into the end zone for Madison's two touchdowns. Brewer--0 Madison-12 CAt homej In a game in which Madison was rated the underdogs, we really confused the sportscasters by taking Brewer, 12-O. In the spotlight were Morris with his open field running: the passing combination of Bob Cody to Wally Petley: and the touchdowns of Cody and Bob Watts. We scored in the second and forth periods when Cody passed to Wally for forty yards and then Cody followed with a six- yard smash for a touchdown. Watts later covered sixty-five yards for the second touchdown. Greenville-0 Madison-33 The Bulldogs went on to a very easy victory after jumping up to Moosehead, Farmington--25 Madison-2l In a surprising upset, Madison lost to Farmington. Our touchdowns were made by Cody, Howard, and Morris, points after touchdowns being made by Morris, Cody, and Watts. Skowhegan-O Madison-7 fAt homel In a rip-snorting game played in a sea of mud, we returned to the good, old days of Madison's supremacy over the Indians. Before an overflowing field of spectators, one of the greatest players to play for Madi- son Memorial, Wally Petley scored a touchdown after receiving a pass from Cody. Cody rushed the conversion. We Seniors are pleased with this victory because it knocks the lid from that story of our jinxing the annual Armistice Day game. Giving their all for the glory of the school were: Right End, Chap Fortine--a four letter man, Chap is really one of our outstanding players. Left Tackle, Frank Fernald-Frank can always be depended upon to give a good account of himself. Left Tackle, Donald LeBlanc-An op- nonent knows that he has been hit when Donald tackles him. Left Guard, Alex Richards-Played his heart out, although handicapped by a strapped-up shoulder. Left Guard, Howard Dawes -Really proved himself able in his first and last year of football at Madison. Left Guard, John Hall-Works for the whole team as a unit. Right Guard, Captain Mahlon Perry- Our rock of Gibraltar. Coach Clement couldn't have picked a better player to lead our boys on to a successful season. Center, Gerald Burton-A'Jeddy is one of our finest up-and-coming players. Left Half Back, Bob Watts- Corky came back from the War to prove that a hitch in the Navy had not dulled his spirit for the game. Quarterback, Leo Henry-Proved that dynamite comes in little packages. He also proved his ability to call plays. Full Back, Robert Cody- Bob is our human steam roller. Despite an injured leg. Bob plowed his way through, time and time again. Right Half Back, Norman Morris- Norman will go far in football because of his ability to run, pass, block, and tackle effectively. Left Half Back, Guy Howard--Any game Guy plays in will be an aggressive one. M. H. S. BULLDOG 'I947 47 BUYS, BASKETBALL liirst row. left to right: Leo Henry. Lawrence Maillet. Ernest Fortine.

The Bulldog varsity boys had a good season, losing eight out of seventeen games. Madison scored 615 points to its oppon- ents' 528. Coach Clement's work in pre- paring the boys was outstanding. The boys are to be congratulated for their high type of sportsmanship displayed at all the games and for their good playing. Many of the substitutes showed promise for next year's team. Leo Henry and Robert Savage, as mana- ger and scorer respectively. deserve notice. Of the starting quintet, only Morris will be left for the l948 team, the rest all being seniors. There were no individual stars, since the whole team played effectively as a unit.

The team was made of good material and the boys cooperated nicely with Coach Pillsbury. The follow- ing boys were the starters in most of their games: Paul Franklin, Arthur Andrews, Freddy Allen, Robert Richard, and Dick Deschenes. Also on the team were, Harold Goodwin, Keith Stanley, Gilbert DeRoche, Hayden Wallace, Joe Lassore, Hadley Kit- tredge, and Manford Stewart.

Candy was also sold at all home basket- ball games, and the protits were divided equally between the Athletic Association and the Commercial Club. Programs were printed and sold at the Madison-Brewer football game, and this profit was also divided equally between the Athletic Asso- ciation and the Commercial Club.

They beat Greenville. November Who, who can it be? This Lippy Lulu? We lost to the Farmington Grey- hounds, but we don't talk about that. Nuff said!

WASHINGTON TRIP Thirteen seniors from Madison High School accompanied by thirteen seniors from Skowhe- gan High School were chaperoned by Mr. Ray- mond W. Farnham, Principal of the Madison High School, on our class trip to Washington. We checked into the Picadilly Hotel in New York and spent the day touring Radio City. The next day we checked into the Hotel Cairo in Washington. While in Washington we made a tour of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, the Smithsonian Institute, the Archives, and the Congressional Library. We also visited Mount Vernon, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monu- ment, the White House, and the Capitol where we visited with Representative Margaret Chase Smith. On the way back to New York we visited Independence Hall and the Betsy Ross House in Philadelphia. We checked out of the Picadilly Hotel Friday night and left for home. Everyone agreed that it had been a wonderful time, and one to be long remembered. 64 M. H. S.
