We have come down here to tight! fight! iight! 4 Faculty At the heginning of the school year, four new teachers were welcomed to the Madison lligh School faculty. Mrs. Florence llarris, Mr. VVarren Aliherti, Mr. Malcolm Daggett, and Mr. Phillip llarris. The retirement of Miss lllanche VVilher has heen keenly felt hy lwoth the students and fac- ulty alike. A loyal friend, an excellent teacher, and wise counselor, Miss VVilher endeared her- self to hundreds of Madison High School grad- uates. She has left a place that will he hard to till in school life. The new school year also found many changes and improvements in the school. One new course, the Drivers' liducation course, taught hy Mr. Farnham, was hegun with -lll students taking part. This class meets as a group every VVednesday morning for general discussion. Then, each day, during the sec, ond and sixth periods. the new Chevrolet safety car. equipped with dual controls, is driven hy class memhers. who are divided into groups of four for the road instruction. This course was opened to students on the hasis of age and their familyis need for a driver. The greatest change in the curriculum took place in the Freshman class where every girl was required to take Home liconomics and every hoy, general science. ln the Freshman college course, instead of two heginning lan- guages, the students were required to elect only l.atin. They will take heginning French during their Sophomore year. To enahle every student to take gym, gym periods and study periods were held on alter- nate days. Une week, a student may have gym three times and study period twiceg on the following week the reverse is true. A typing class for college course students was given hy Mr. Harris. lfinally, to make the students better ac- quainted one with another, home rooms this year were assigned alphahetically rather than according to course, as was done in previous years, The purchase of a Ditto machine has helped teachers materially in their class work.

During lhc last hall. it was a ilcprcssctl Bulldog eleven that fought doggedly to get back into the game. It was to no avail, how- ever, as it was Winslow's day and the Black Raiders continued to roll, winding up with a 39-0 victory. ' Madison-Wilton With the injury list almost clear, Madison I-ligh's Bulldogs rolled in spectacular fashion as it downed a game but weak Wilton Academy eleven. As both the ground and air attacks clicked with perfection, Madison came out on the long end of a 33-0 score. This marked the first time the team had scored and it certainly made up for lost time. The Blue and White passed for one touchdown and rolled for four more along the ground. Touchdowns were scored by Morris, ftwoj, Howard, Thorne, and Richard. Madison-Mexico On a beautiful, warm, sunbaked, fall after- noon, the high riding Mexico Pintos came to Bulldogville , only to be turned back by a 7-0 margin. Although the score might indicate a well- matched football game, Madison outplayed the Pintos in every department, lacking only a scoring punch to raise the score higher. For three long periods, the Bulldogs and the Pintos fought, with Madison threatening several times but failing to score. Finally, in the fourth period, Madison scored on a pass that covered about 65 yards. Madison, gaining possession of the ball on its own 35, tried a running play that picked up two yards. Then, history was made, Howard faded back to pass, looked for a receiver, saw Rogers, a substitute end in the clear, threw the ball to Rogers who gathered it in on the mid- field stripe. Young Bobby did the restg he juggled the ball momentarily and then pro- ceeded to outrun the Pinto defense to score the only touchdown of the game. Howard con- verted and that was all there was as far as scoring went. Madison-Brewer Friday night, October 17, found the Madison High Eleven invading Brewer to play the highly favored Witches under the lights. It was a dramatic scene as the game opened. Madison won the toss and elected to receive. Morris, receiving the kick-off, lateraled to Guy Howard who brought the 3,500 people to their feet with a dazzling runback to the Brewer 40- yard line. Madison failed to score after pene- trating to the Brewer 35 and the Witches took over. Led by swivel-hipped Iackie Tardiff, Brewer scored on a fourth down pass, thus taking a first period lead of seven points. But Madison, not to be denied, stormed right back to score on a Howard-to-Thorne pass. The ex- tra point attempt failed and Madison trailed, 7-6, but still very much in the game. Brewer again scored two minutes before half time on a pass thrown at the end of a double reverse. Madison, seemingly having played its heart out in the first half, was no match for the ruth- less Brewer horde. The Witches scored twice more and wound up with a 26-6 victory. The Bulldogs need never be ashamed of their per- formance as they gave the Brewer team a ter- rific battle before they finally lost. Madison-Farmington Having come out of the Brewer game un- scathed, the Bulldogs next tackled the Grey- hounds of Farmington High. Madison started with a bang and scored its first touchdown halfway through the first period. Howard, slicing off right tackle, cut back to his left, raced 35 yards for the first score of the game. Then the Greyhounds struck back, led by Lee Grey and Red Luce, Farmington scored on a naked reverse with Grey's scoring from about the midfield stripe. A Grey-to-Dick Iohnson pass for the extra point gave Farmington a 7-6 lead. Madison scored again as Morris raced around end for the Bulldogs' second marker before half time. The last half was strictly all Madison as the Blue and White pushed over more scores, fi- nally walking off the field with a 24-7 win. Farmington, however, presented an array of plays that were very deceptive and well man- euvered. Madison-Greenville On a bleak November afternoon, little Green- ville High with its plucky and courageous foot- ball team, came to battle the rampaging Bull- dogs. As the game progressed, the unsung he- roes of football, the linesmen, of Madison proved their worth and their play was the main factor in Madison's 18-6 victory.

Basketball .-Xs only one starter had heen inherited from last years Bulldog quintet, this year's team had Io start from scratch. With Coach Phil l-larris keeping one eye on prospects for the coming season. the l'?-l7-48 issue ol' the Madison High School hasltethall team won Five games, losing twelve, of its regularly scheduled school hoy games. ln addition, the varsity live, lighting with all their might, dropped two games to the .Xlumni and a third to a hard playing faculty group. Prospects for next year seem somewhat lirighter as graduation will remove only three seniors from the clulmis roster. Livermore Falls-Madison ln the lirst game of the season for a new set ol' Bulldogs. a scrappy Livermore Falls team was the victim of the Blue and White attack. Since it was the first game of the season for hoth quintets, the rival coaches substituted freely, with Madison copping the verdict, 33-26. Squires was high man Ivor the Madison Hve with ll points. while Franklin. Morris. llow- ard, and lillingwood displayed competent floor- ship. The game was played at Madison. Madison-Winslow Although going into the game on almost equal looting with the Black Raiders, Madison Highis Hoopsters were soundly trounced hy a Winslow aggregation that could not miss. From the opening whistle. Winslow began swishing two pointers and were never threat- ened. The Bulldogs of Coach Phil Harris re- fused to give up and prevented the margin of victory from lengthening. lior the Black Raiders, it was Rancourt and Grenier in the high scoring roles: for the Blue and White, it was Morris in the scoring high spot with Franklin, Reid, and Richard as defensive standouts. Wilton-Madison On a stormy night and heliore a small gath- ering ol' fans. the NVilton Academy Eagles pulled out a lfmkl5 win over the Blue and White Bulldogs.

For Wilton, Durrell, Ma- comber, Orr, and Farrington contributed stand- out performances while Morris, the only sea- soned veteran, again led the Blue and White attack. Madison-Farmington Once again the Madison Bulldogs failed to roll in high gear and the result was the scrappy Greyhounds from Farmington edged out the Blue and White quintet, 37-27. The M. I-I. S., outscoring the Franklin County five in the first and final periods, only to be outscored in the second and third cantos, fought desperately but could not overcome the margin compiled by the Blue and Grey. Madison-Lawrence ln the first basketball game between the two Bulldogs, a fast, deceptive and alert Lawrence High five clubbed a never-say-die Madison team, 56 to 25. For the first half of the game, it was anyone's game, but as the third canto be- gan, the Fairfielders hit their stride and could not be caught by the Madison High hoopsters. Little Iohnny Iulia led the Lawrence Blue and Whites while Franklin, Morris, Andrews, Mac- Donald and Ellingwood paced the home team's attack. Madison-Alumni In one of the better games played to date, the Alumni Bulldog had too much fight and bite as it eked out a 34-32 victory over the Blue and White varsity. A close game, supposedly a push over for the graduates, saw former stars, Iohnson, Billings, and Bearor, lead their team to a win over the school boys paced by Franklin, Morris, Andrews, MacDonald, and Howard. Madison-Skowhegan Friday, Ianuary 16, Skowhegan's twice beaten Indians entered the Madison gymnasium for a duel with the Madison Bulldogs, For the first part of the game, the Blue and White put on a grand performance, leading 18-17 at the half. But, with Alex, Savage, and Berry lead- ing the way, the Indians forged ahead and, until the last three minutes of play, enjoyed a five to seven point lead. Then, the Bulldogs crept to within two points of tying the game, only to falter and lose out, 41-37. Buck Franklin led the Bulldogs with 15 points, with Morris, MacDonald, Ellingwood, and Andrews turning in good performances, also. Winslow-Madison In one of the greatest upsets of the season, as far as the Bulldogs of Madison are- concerned, the Black Raiders of Winslow High fell before a hustling Madison team, 31-28. From about the first quarter on, the Blue and White rooters began to picture a M. H. S. victory which materialized three periods later. For Madison, it was Buck Franklin, followed by Mac- Donald and Currie, a newcomer, who played a great game around the backboards. Madison-Lawrence In the second meeting between the two Bull- dogs, the Fairfielders won out in a ding-dong battle, 44-36. Entering the game a decided underdog, the Madison five nearly upset the apple cart before losing out. At one time only three points separated the two rivals, but the Lawrence lads rallied and put the game in their name. Dick Harris led with 20 points while Morris, Currie, MacDonald and Franklin paced the visiting attack. Madison-Williams Played in the new, spacious Williams High gym, this game was one of the most hectic bat- tles many a fan ever witnessed. After the ofii- cial duration of play, 32 minutes, both teams were deadlocked, 39-39. Then, Clyde Luce won the game in the final three seconds of the overtime after each club had once tallied. The Eagles were led by Dolloff, C. Luce, and Mon- ahan: Madison, by Currie and Morris. Madison-Dexter With every member of the M. H. S. varsity squad taking part. the Bulldogs easily over- powered a game but out-maneuvered Dexter five, 51-21. Taking command from the begin- ning, the local Blue and Whiters, led by Frank- lin, Currie, and Morris, ended up at the same tempo at which they had started. Ellingwood, MacDonald, Andrews, and Richard all contrib- uted major roles in the victory, while Dcxter's Tigers were led by Bolduc and Vigue. Madison-Farmington Coming up against a vastly improved Grey- hound squad from Farmington High, the Madisonians were severely trounced to the tune of 66-32. Having a height advantage, the Blue and Grey led from the start. Outclassed but not out-fought, the Bulldogs fought it out to the bitter end. MacDonald and Morris scored ll and 9 respectively.

With the coming of spring, baseball season was just around the corner with Coach Don Clement awaiting his first meeting with his candidates, including about 12 lettermen from the 1947 season. With these promising aspir- ants, Madison High pastime followers could expect a fair season. VVith its veteran infield, experienced pitching and catching staff, and well-balanced outfield, the team could be ex- pected to give a good account of itself in the Northern Kennebec League and in non-League games. The addition of Mickey MacDonald, first baseman for Skowhegan last year, bolstered the Bulldog hopes. Also Norman LeClair was welcomed back to the diamond squad. Lettermen from the 1947 season available for this year's schedule are Arthur Andrews, Nor- mie Morris, Guy Howard, Robert Frost, Walter Handley, Robert Nault, Richard Squires, and Robert Richard. f 9 Girls' Softball Because of the rainy season and wet grounds, the 1947 Bulldog softball team managed to play only two games. Consequently, the girls were unable to get much practice. Those out for softball last year and available for this year's ten are Shirley Petley, Doris Hebert, Frances Mac- Donald, Evelyn Sabol, Ruth Dawes, Mary Dill, Constance MacDonald, Beverly Ouellette, Su- zanne Beaumont, and Betty Clement. Tennis Spring, 1948, saw the dropping of track tem- porarily from the sports calendar of Madison High School. In its place, tennis, both for girls and boys, was scheduled. The school has not had a racquet team since before the war. In those days, the teams were highly successful, having won several trophies. The question of transportation affected the scheduling of the games. nas? u 'Zia .A ' ' 'Im ,A 'ig LITERARY '11, o ,xo O 4. O U 9' 'f, , :iiinknl IIUUN5. 5 5 X 'fl 5 i Zh .

But wait! ls this enough? Is this great system producing democratic and liberal- minded Americans capable of reasoning logi- cally and adhering to the right? In the urban areas this is being practiced to a limited extent, but elsewhere, students are being ground out of the mill to be human rats of Hamlin . Most of them follow blindly any glib, experi- enced orator. They divest themselves of many responsibilities and obligations to society. As citizens, some of them later learn to think clearly by the rough and hard road of experi- ence. The rest are led like bleating lambs. We have not the system which fosters broad- mindedness and straight thinking. From the day a student enters school until the day he leaves, he has minor details and irrelevant mis- cellany drummed into his skull, regardless of individual capacity. This is definitely the wrong viewpoint. Instead of being marked on answers in math- ematics, for example, he should receive rank on his displayed knowledge of the various methods by which he arrived at the answer. Instead of facts and figures, there should be methods, ideas, plans, principles, and other such knowl- edge which holds one in good stead in later life. Then again, the spirit of must do and should do should be annihilated and sup- planted by the spirit of willingness and coopera- tion. A student, if he is mature enough, should be instilled with a fire for reading good books like The Return of the Native and Vanity Fair , not these books of the hour , most of which are trash. Of a necessity, fundamentals and definitions must be learned verbatim to know what follows. For instance, after words and methods of sen- tence construction in foreign languages, more emphasis should then be centered on perfection in speaking rather than in sentence writing. Again, morexinterest and time should be spent on expressing oneself in the English language. An excellent display of English, coupled with straight and logical thought, is an asset to be treasured throughout life. How unfortunate are those people who, although they may be brilliant, are not able to convey meanings and persuade an audience. Through a judicious use of English, many new doors are opened and opportunities are presented. There must be more correlation between the social studies, languages, and literature. The sciences are, by now, fairly well interwoven. ln the future, if such a move is realized, subjects will seemingly become easier and facts will be collected into ideas which will be useful later. Such practice would also train a student to group his information and not have it scattered loosely. The average student at present is interested only in passing whether by means fair or foul. This is an attitude not only injurious to a per- son but also iniurious to the nation in that it produces incompetent citizens of doubtful char- acter. How can he avoid that feeling? Most ques- tions in tests today are answered by a simple yes or no, one word, or a phrase, making those tests some of the evils in the system. One of the initial steps we must take is to givequestions which require thought and organization of knowledge. After this, by the use of applied psychology, the feel of pride in accomplishment must be instilled in the student. We must not wait for that might be disastrous. The nation needs strong-willed, able, competent citizens. I.et's clean up these discrepancies with an air of finality. Norman Weston '48 FUNDAMENTALS THE FOUNDATION High ranks usually mean less time spent studying. My! but that is hard to believe, isn't it? Well, it is true. A student getting 902, spends about half as much time studying as a student getting 702. The reason for this is the student who gets 902, learns more of his sub- iect, thus having a better background or foun- dation. The student who gets 702g has to study twice as long as the 9025 student to pass the next test and then he has not the foundation he needs. A good foundation is essential to any- one going to college or into any specialized field. If you learn a little as you go along, building your foundation up slowly and strongly, you can depend on it later. On the other hand, if you build it up fast it is usually weak, thus it will not uphold you later when you may need it and most likely will need it. A strong foun- dation is essential for short studying hours. The less time you have to spend studying the more time you will have for outside activities such as clubs, sports, and your own personal pleasures. But, you can not participate in clubs or sports if your ranks are not passing. There- fore, learn your fundamentals and have fun in school and outside activities. It is twice as easy for most students to learn a little at a time than to loaf a few days then try to learn a large amount all at once. Learn- ing a lot then resting for undetermined inter- vals, then trying to make up for lost studying hours gives you a weak foundation. Learn to use your brain then trust it. Your brain is your foundation, it grows stronger with use. lf you work your brain slowly and steadily it will grow stronger fast. On the other hand, if you over work your brain it will become tired and weak. Your foundation must be strong to stand the strain of college or of specialized fields. If you keep up in your studies from the start, you should pass very easily. The better you learn your fundamentals the easier the solid part will beg for everything is made up of fundamentals, the fundamentals being the foundation. If you build a skyscraper on sand, it will gradually sink into the sand and finally fall over or sink from sight. Studying is the same way. If you do not learn the fundamentals, you will gradually keep sinking in your class until finally you will either sink out of sight or fall out of class. In all trades and professions there are funda- mentals. Some trades have a few, others have more, while, still others have a great many. A scientist has to learn a great many simple things about his work, a process which takes years, before he is called a scientist. The better his foundation of fundamentals, the better sci- entist he will be. The solutions to his greatest problems will be based upon simple but im- portant fundamentals. The more he studies the stronger his foundation becomes, the surer he will be of success. No matter what profession you choose you have to know its fundamentals to get anywhere in that profession. The more complex your profession the bigger foundation you need. The simple but im- portant part of your foundation is built and strengthened before you leave high schoolg for here the simple but needed fundamentals of many professions are taught. Hadley Kittredge '49 HOW DO YOU VALUE YOUR EDUCATION? Did you ever stop to realize how lucky you are to have a home, regular meals, and above all a place to learn? You are not compelled to learn or rather to take a subject which does not interest you. Of course, you understand that English and American History are not included in this count. One of the advantages of public schools is the variety in courses. If you have further luck in planning to go on to college, there is the College Course, or if you cannot continue with your subjects after High School graduation and wish to become a stenographer or typist, you may take the Commercial Course. There are many other courses which I have not named but which are just as im- portant in their own way. Perhaps you think you are intelligent or very courageous and are going to work your way through College. Iust hesitate for a moment. Think-There are literally millions of young men and women who have endured starvation for the sake of education. Are you willing to do that? If you nod your head, you are intelli- gent, for education and the ability to learn are the most important assets a human being could have. Perhaps you say, I've plenty of money. Why should I go to school? But can you take care of that money? What would you do for a job if you suddenly lost your money? Or perhaps the person in the corner may ask, Why should I go to school? I've my own farm and am earning a living from it. Don't tell me I have to have learning to raise pota- toes? Maybe you are earning your living, but wouldn't you like to have that radio or an extra piece of steak for dinner? That learning you have been reviling would not only get you that but more too. Yes, the value of education is priceless. One is unable to Hnd anything with which to com- pare it. Ioan Fitzgerald LITERARY The National High School Poetry Associa- tion has accepted for publication in its Anthology the following poems written by the lunior English Class, under the direction of Miss Evans. Robert Ellingwoodls poem re- ceived special mention. A NOISY CHARACTER As I begin to do some work, A clanging sound comes to my ear. The class upset and nervous too, Is all on edge the same as I. The steam begins to hiss and drip,- Then all is quiet and content. All this the radiator does, No arms, no legs, just painted steel. Robert Ellingwood '49 A FRIENDLY ROAD Everyone likes you old country road Bordered by pines and by grassy knolls Winding along with no place to go You're just a friendly road. Winding along over hill and dale Your work ceases neither day nor night. You work while the rest of us sleep and play, You're just a friendly road. Dorothy Larson '49 A DAY IN WINTER WEATHER The cold wind howls around the house, The snow falls gently down, The ground is covered gleaming white, The air is crisp and cold. The children romp and play until The sun sinks in the west. Barbara Stevens '49 RIVERS Rivers wind and twist along By the grassy banks. Flowers bloom along the shore. Poles in hand the loggers drive Logs along the swirling streams. Power brought each day to us Lights our houses in the night, Turns our mill wheels in the day. These things rivers do for us Every single day. Donald LeBlanc '49 THE FRIENDLY ROAD Come with me Take a walk Down the friendly road. Leaves are turned Sky is blue 'Tis a peaceful scene. We are friends You and I Let's call this Paradise. Come walk on To the end Get the pot of gold. Sure to be At the end Of the friendly road. Patricia Caouette '49 ARE WE PROUD? Have we no school spirit? What about school pride? Many Madison High School students bet I' on opposing schools. Why not for our school? Perhaps they have a grudge against a certain playerg they object to a certain method of coachingg they doubt the team is in good con- dition for that particular event, or they merely even want money. That is not the attitude to take. If our ath- letes do not have moral support, how are they to better themselves? Our school, like any other school, has a standard to maintain. Students bet because they don't realize the value of money. That is wrong, too. We students of Madison High School, like any other school, also have an unwritten code to live by-Loyalty! If we have more school spirit and pride, if we strive to beneht our school, it will become an ideal school, an example for others to fol- low. But that means co-operation. Only you Sill- dents can give itg so think about it. Remember-Money is essential, but it can- not buy everything. And besides - we're proud! Patricia Caouette '49 AVIATION TODAY Most of the people who read this article have never heard of the daring experiences taken on by our adventurous test-pilots. Such names as Del-Iavilland, Goodlin, Percy, and Iohnson, have been forgotten in the archives of aviation history. After the war was over with Germany and lapan, the Allied countries began a search for new and faster airplanes. This attempt has met up with a foe that is almost impregnable and has momentarily stopped all advances in speed. This foe is known as the Supersonic Barrier . lt presents itself when the aircraft exceeds the speed of 700 m.p.h. They say that you never know when your number is coming up, but Roger DeHavilland was expecting it when his plane entered a cloud at the approximate speed of 650 m.p.h., and came out the other side of the cumilo-nimbus in a mass of splinters and flying metal. The plane that he was Hying was the well known Deflavilland Meteor . You see, he has never let anyone test his aircraft until they were at least in the last stage of production. i Another poor chap is Wally Iohnson , re- membered well by his fellow employers at Bell Aircraft. Wally was a big tall Texan, who test-piloted for Bell. It was two months before last year's Bendix , that Iohnson received his fatal blow. VVhile making a test speed run down the desert course of New Mexico, his air- plane, Comet I, caught afire and plummeted to the hard paved runway. The only remnant was his wallet, containing pictures of his wife and two children. All his closest friends passed around the hat and raised enough money to keep them going for quite a while. Slick 'i Goodlin is probably a man that will go down in history as the first man really to enter the barrier. Percy entered it, but came out as he broke 720 m.p.h. To really show how fast this airplane can go is explained by an example. When released from the belly of the B-29, a iet P-80 Hew up beside it, doing 500 m.p.h., Goodlin signaled that everything was all right and opened up one rocket tube. Push- ing ahead with a breath taking speed, he left the jet behind as if it were standing still. He spinned and rolled, in every direction and man- ner, to test all the stresses of the airplane. After different maneuvers, the fuel became low and he had to land. He landed safely and ripped off his goggles in a victorious gesture. ln a short while, though, he was met with the proposition of flying through the sonic barrier, for iS200,000. What a great aspiration this must be to the pilots who venture into the future. lohn Hall '48 TIME AND TIME AGAIN Did you know that they are going to draft Eisenhower for presidentg that Blue Light- ing is a sure thing in the fifth and that Mrs. Iones was seen with a strange man? Maybe these things don't interest you, they don't me, but l have to put up with it all the time. This life of being a silver fork is a miserable one. Early this morning I served a late bird who kept me moving so fast I got dizzy. Once this noon I served a youngster who waved me like a flag, banged me around and finally dropped me. Then again this noon I served one woman who was having lunch with another. She held me poised in the air while she took in and gave out the latest news. I have finished serving a statesman who pointed me at the other fellow so much that I felt like a pure-bred pointer. I don't mind the work, but I do mind the beatings I take and the things I hear. Some- times I wish I were a brass monkey. Please, when you eat remember this story and treat your fork kindly. Harold Goodwin '49 THE LONG HOUR A lovely morning outside. The sun is streaming through the window, brightly illumi- nating with golden rays all except those por- tions of the room in deepest shadows. Yes, truly a wonderful day--for you, maybe. For me, well, l'd rather not discuss it. An hour ago, I had a large, almost kingly dinner. What irony! Sort of like a Hungarian king I read about once. His enemies fed him famously and afterward gave him a hot seat to fry in, too. Funny how everything comes back now. Darn this foul air! Two o'clock now. They come for me in half an hour. What a feeling -a half hour left for life. Your stomach seems to drop like a leaden weight, the leaden weight your head and hands are. Me, I have fifty grand hidden out there. That is the crowning irony. Wherever I shall go, I can't take it with me, but neither will anyone else use it. Fifteen minutes left. Not much time now. VVhy donit they get it over with? The waiting is the worst part, maddening enough to drive any normal man insane. How did I get in here? Framed, I say. I never killed him. I keep telling them that over and over but all they want is a confession-a confession to ease their consciences if they have any. They'll never get any from me. My only regret is that I can't watch them in their mental anguish as they watched me. Without a confession, they will never wholly be sure they haven't sent an innocent man to his end. Will this terrible waiting never cease? I often read about how, in certain situations, every second seemed like an eternity to a man and I just laughed. Yes, I actually laughed. My friends have often ad- mired my stoicism. Well, here's my chance. Mustn't buckle under no matter what happens. What's that? All this silence gets on a guy's nerves. No. Those are the guards coming for me. Soon it will be over. Must look funny with a shaved head. Wouldn't blame 'em if they had a hearty laugh. This place is enough to give anyone the willies. They are unlocking the cell now and motioning me out. I come and even have nerve enough to refuse a steady- ing hand. Please, just don't let me start blub- hering now. You know, the walk isn't as slow as I imagined. We're almost there. They are opening the door to the death chamber. There's the warden and over there, in the hard chairs, the doctor and witnesses. Thank heaven I'm not trembling. The executioner adjusts the straps and electrodes. I hear as from some distant planet the warden saying in an uncolored, flat tone, Any last words? Surprised by the ring and absence of a tremor in my voice, I find myself declaring, I hope your souls roast in a living hell, gentlemen. from this day forward, for you are looking at an innocent man. But come. Let's get on with the show. This must seem commonplace to you, gentlemen, and as Dewey said at Manila Bay, 'You may fire when ready, Gridley. ' Norman Weston '48 THE FAULTS OF OUR PRESENT DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM Our present government is lacking in democ- racy. The popular conception of democracy is a rule by the people yet the general mass of the people have very little to do with the rule of our country. The people vote for their candidate but they vote only for the candidates who have been selected by a small group of men. These men often put their own welfare 'ahead of that of our country. The persons whom they select are often incompetent and incapable of per- forming their duties. If it were possible for these men to be selected for their knowledge of government, and if it could be possible to prepare competitive exam- inations, similar to Civil Service examinations, available to anyone, it would be much more democratic. Lester Wagner '48 A BROOK I have seen some very interesting things, but the one which seems to enchant me most is a brook. The bubbling waters of a brook seem to sing a song of the woods as the brook runs along. There is nothing more lovely than to walk along a brook far away from the noise of human beings and watch the trout swimming and playing in the rocks and sand at the bottom of a shallow pool. The brook that I am thinking of reminds me of a never ceasing worker who moves on and on through the mossy beds until coming to rest at a quiet pond in the valley. The brook is a friend and helper of the wild- life throughout its region. It supplies the differ- ent animals with plenty of fresh water and undergrowth upon which most of them depend in order to live. When winter comes and the Howers are gone and the trees are barren, the woods are desolate except for the brook which sings steadily in places where nature hasn't frozen it over. Paul Franklin '49 Snow is falling on the ground Wind is sweeping through the trees Street lights blink Whistle blows No school Today! Shirley Petley '49 A dime, a shining silver coin, A nurse, a girl all dressed in white, A bed, a place for bones to heal. From these three things come joy and health, To boys, to girls, whose lives look dark, A dime is all you need to give. It means new life to boys and girls, So give your dime, and give it now. Robert Ellingwood '49 SNOW Snow is piling high, Children play and shout, Winter is a happy time, Boys and girls can slide and skate On the snow and ice. lean O'Connor '49 A FORD CAR Thumping! Clanging! Banging! Whanging! Cannons never made more racket. Thumping! Clangingl Banging! Whanging! lust in time for noon day rushes. Down the street like mad it dashes Bumping! Clumping! Clapping! Snapping! How the people scurry homeward Whoopee it is just a Ford! Ruth Edgerly '49 Down upon the brown and barren fields The white and silent ghost descends, To blanket the cold and lonesome earth Until the Spring comes once again. Then he'll leave in tears a streaming, As Ole Mister Sun looks on a gleaming. William Kennedy '48 WHITE OAKS White oaks keep their leaves till spring when other trees are bare. He who takes the time to look, will Find the young buds there. The young buds nestled snug and warm against the winter's cold. The young buds being sheltered by the knowl- edge of the old. When the spring does come again and gentle turns the day, The young buds will swell with strength and thrust the old away. Youthful buds will seek the breeze and warmth from the sun. Down to earth will fall the old with all their duty done. Roscoe Arno '49 SPRINGTIME The beautiful spring is coming now, with the wonders that it brings. It brings back wondrous memories, when sweet birds begin to sing. From the smallest to the largest, the animals will find, that there is no time so joyous as the wonderful old springtime. When all things start to color this is beautiful to see. So that is why the springtime is the only time for me. Walter Merrill '48 M. H. S. LAWS Do not whisper, Do not speak, after trouble, Never seek. Keep your eyes glued on a book. Don't give your neighbor a sidelong look. Rules, rules, and more rules Oh well! Away with tears, You're only going to be here Four Long Years. Lee Flanagin '48 TENNIS COURT Tennis court, tennis court, Where are you now? Left from summer To winter's cold winds. Tennis court, tennis court, Beneath the snow, One more year to add. Robert Ehrlich '49 SNOW Snow is on the ground. Boys and girls can skate and ski, Men and igloos are made with snow, These are built with thoughts of art From the cold white snow. Shadows made by trees so large Making patterns dark and weird On the snow along the road, These are formed to look like art ln the cold white snow. Connie MacDonald '49 Tune -Remember Pearl Harbor CHORUS lt's farewell to our classmates And to the school we love so well. And farewell to our teachers Who have helped us when we fell. We will always remember And will always do our best In upholding the honor Of our dear old M. H. S. Robert Corson '49 ODE Tune--Auld Lang Zyne Should our old schoolmates he forgot, And never brought to mind. Should all our good times be forgot, In the days of Madison High. For Madison High we love so dear, Our books and memories toog And wish our followers great success As to all we say adieu. Alfred W. Merry '49 Tune - Memories Madison, Madison, Days we spent with you Aiming to reach highest goal, An aim that's high and true. Madison, Madison, Our motto's all for one We'll ever be true to the Spirit in you, To the days spent at Madison. Barbara Stevens '49 I walk along the narrow path, I watch my step or I shall fall. My half-brown, half-white saddle shoes, Though cleated, are better than none at all. The protruding line of the nailed on cleat Leaves its mark in the trampled snow. On guard, I plow my guided feet Carefully, or to the ground I go. I balance myself with arms outstretched For if I don't I'm sure to fall. I'm losing my balance-over I go, I'm answering the slipper's call. Phyllis Maillet '48 Do you ever sit and wonder the reason that we're here? I often sit and ponder, Now it all becomes quite clear. We all have a purpose, Something that we must do and when we have done it, Our span on earth is through. Dorothy Longley '48 WAITING The clock strikes eight, I wait and wait For my only date Who is always late. Every carlight Is a delight, My hope goes at last As the car goes past. The clock strikes nine, I sit and pine, Then I pace the floor Then I watch the door. The clock strikes ten. What to do then? Should I go to bed, Or just wait instead? The time goes by I sit and sigh. Soon I see a light, Oh, such a delight! My hopes are high I almost cry. My joy dims at last As the car goes past. My hopes are gone As time goes on Must I wait in vain? It causes such pain. I hear a knock! It's like a shock, I can stand no more I creep to the door. Slowly I creep As if asleep I reach for the knob My heart starts to throb My hopes leap high I only sigh Everything's stilled My joys are fulfilled. Lena Thebarge 48 GOD MADE THE SEASONS Outside it is snowing, A The windows are covered with ice. I-lark! I hear the wind blowing This weather is not very nice. I like the nice warm sunshine And the flowers that bloom so bright Much better than the bare trees of winter When everything is covered with white. But God made the winter And God made the summer He also made the Spring and the Fall So who am I to kick about the seasons I take them and like them all. Virginia Sidell i48 THE HANDKERCI-IIEF Ah. memories, said Grandmother Katrinka in a hushed voice, as she sat in a little, old- fashioned rocking chair. With tears streaming down her wrinkled, kindly-looking face, she opened a sandalwood chest, sweet with the essence of age, and gazed upon souvenirs of her youth. She looked at a scrapbook, a tulip bulb, bits of silk and lace, scenic snapshots of her native Holland, and many other things and at last upon a beautiful square of linen trimmed with lace made by her grandmother. How she had loved to watch her grand- mother's clever hands produce the lace, now priceless. It was the something new given by her grandmother on her wedding-day. She carried it on her honeymoon with Peter, later across to America as immigrants. Now Peter was gone, leaving her with two beautiful daughters who are now married. The handkerchief will travel because Katrinka will give it to her namesake, Katrinka. Please let it bring her joy as it did me, her grandmother wished. - Patricia Caouette '49 REMINISCENCES OF THE FORGOTTEN Her last hope died with the wailing wind outside. He was never coming back. Never -that seems to be a long time. Nothing could lie longer-not even an eternity. His last message was so nice. Their last date-was it only two nights ago? He had told her he loved her then. How could he change overnight? Perhaps he didn't. Maybe this call was just a mistake. But no, she knew his secretary's voice by this time. There was no escape. Her inner thoughts kept pounding at her, incessantly. Why, she cried-solitude forgotten, Oh, why can't I forget him, as he has me. She hurried around the room, repairing the ruined make-up, placing things where they belonged. Now she thinks, What'll I do if some other man asks me out? Will I have fun if I accept? No. No, I can't disregard him this easilyf' Maybe a little later, about twenty-five years from now, she will be able to think of him without that searing pain in her heart. She saunters to the window, trying to look noncha- lant, making herself look nonchalant. A car stops directly in front of the house. Her pulse races. I-Ier heart beats pause. A man gets out of the car. Could it-could it possibly be? I-Ie turns around-a complete stranger. She falls, ungracefully, into an oblivion from which she will never return the same. She will start anew. And perhaps some day- but who can tell? .

We also exchanged with Farmington, Brewer, Fort Fairfield, Orono, Dover-Foxcroft, and Rumford. HUMOR Time Is Relative You look depressed, my friend. What are you thinking of? My future. What makes it seem so hopeless? My past. Modern Psychology The mother thought her little girl ought to be examined for any possible abnormal tenden- cies, so she took the tot to a psychologist. Among other questions, the man of science asked: Are you a boy or a girl? A boy, the little girl answered. Somewhat taken aback, the psychologist tried again. When you grow up, are you going to be a woman or a man? A man, the little girl answered. Afterward, as they were returning home, the mother asked, Why did you make such strange replies to what the man asked you? The little girl drew herself up with dignity. The old silly, she said, If he was going to ask me crazy questions, I was going to give him crazy answers. He couldn't trick me. Black and White A bride wears white, said the speaker, as a symbol of happiness, for her wedding day is the most joyful in her life. And why do men wear black? someone asked. Courage and Encouragement If I should attempt to kiss you, what would you do? I never meet an emergency until it arisesf, But if it should arise? I'd meet it face to face. Not That Kind of a Girl Phyllis: What do you say to a tramp in the park? Peto: I never speak to the horrid things. He Got It Straight Well, my son, what did you learn in Sun- day School today? We learned all about a cross-eyed bear. About a what? Yes, sir, named 'Gladly'. We learned a song about him! All about, 'Gladly, the cross l'd bear '. The Bitter End Can you make up a sentence with the phrase ' bitter end ' in it, Mary? Little Mary looked dubious. Would this do, teacher? 'Our dog. chased our cat, and he bitter end '? F Vaudeville Gags Is your dentist a careful dentist? Sure, he Filled my teeth with great pains. My brother has just had his appendix re- moved. I didn't think he had it in him! Mrs. Chatter is getting a double chin. Too much work for one, I suppose. ls he a hard drinker? Indeed no! It's the easiest thing he does. Ssh! Mother, there isn't any harm in walking in the park with a young man after dark, is there? ' No, not if you keep on walking. When I was young, I often went walking in the park at night. And did you keep on walking? Hush, girlie-it's time for you to go to bed. Mr. Staples: Tell what you know about nitrates. William Kennedy: I don't know much about them, but I do know that they are cheaper than day rates. Mr. Flanders: There's a man outside who wants to see you about paying a bill. Mr. Farnham: 'I What does he look like? Mr. Flanders: He looks like you better pay lt. Teacher: How old is your father? Pupil: Thirty-eight, sir. Teacher: Well, I must get you homework more suited to his agefl Mr. Farnham: You weren't at school yes- terday. Was it due to the inclemency of the weather? Nancy Wing: L' No, sir. I couldn't come be- cause of the snow. Miss Evans: Use the correct verb in this sentence: ' The toast was drank in silence.' R. Russell: The toast was ate in silence. Mrs. Smith: Yes, Ioan is taking French and Algebra. Say 'Good morning' to Mrs. Wentworth in Algebra, dear. Employer Ito applicant for jobj: Can you write shorthand? Beula: Yes, but it takes me longer. Mr. Daggett: If Shakespeare were alive to- day, wouldn't he be looked upon as a remark- able man? Betty Noble: I'Il say so. He would be three hundred and seventy years old. Leo Henry: Do you think it is possible for a man to love two girls at the same time? Robert Richard: Not if they know about itf' Mr. Wrenn, glaring at Pic Pratt: Why on earth did you leave off playing just as we got to the chorus? Well, replied Pratt, on my music it says 'Refrainl ' So I did. Dana Green-Farmington State Teachers' ALUMNI CLASS OF 1947 Iean Adams-Town Clerk's Office, Madison Clyde Baird-U. S.
