University of Maine Summers HJ Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity Teacher ol' Driver liducation Adviser of Student Council .Nt Maltlisun High School from lkijli-ll!-l-l llhlfm-'ill FOREWORD lt is a rare privilege for a member of the faculty to have the opportunity to write an edi- torial which will appear in the annual student yearbook. I am indeed grateful for this oppor- tunity and extend my sincere appreciation to the editorial staff for this honor. This tenth anniversary issue of the Bulldog marks a decade in the progress of our annual yearbook and serves as a written and pictorial record of a little over 600 of our young people of this and neighboring communities. The yearbook was born ten years ago under the leadership of our former Principal Albert Pillsbury. lt has been nourished and strengthened by the successive student editorial groups under able and wise counseling by vari- ous members ot the faculty. lt is now a perma- nent part of our school life. and as each year passes. its value in imparting training and new educational experiences to boys and girls is im- measurable. 5 The success of each yearbook is primarily the responsibility of Seniors. lt records their achievements over a period of four years. Thus, to each Senior, it will be a treasure book of memories that brings nostalgic thoughts of bygone episodes. From 1939-1949 the personnel of this produc- tion, members of the faculty and student body, have sacrificed time and energy to achieve suc- cess. They met and conquered insurmountable barriers, which is remarkable considering the war years and the increasing production cost of yearbooks. This tenacity of purpose - of wanting to conquer what seems impossible - is a basic characteristic of our American Youth - and the youth of this community was not susceptible to despair because of challenge. I hope that the successive groups of students who comprise this school will recognize and accept the responsibility of editing a yearbook. fContinued on bottom of next pagel lfirst rovv Soinerset lriangulai' lxagut' lootball lll-lll.

L ,-.-..,.,...-' r EDIT Past As we glance back over the past ten years, at first we note little difference between the Madi- son High School of 1939 and the same school today. The same eagle looks down upon stu- dents and teachers as they enter the front door. But once inside we face the Honor Roll for the many boys and girls who went from our school to fight for their country. This was placed here in 1945 as our personal reminder. Through the open door of the auditorium we catch a glimpse of the movie screen and pro- jector which together with the turntable for recordings and loud speaker system--all ac- quired since 1946-add much to the students' enjoyment and studies. Films on many sub- jects are shown in school to help students bet- ter understand their work. New scenery adds color as well as usefulness in plays and pro- grams. The service flag was designed in 1945 as a tribute to M. H. S. boys and girls in the service. As we leave the auditorium we see on the wall over the front door a fine plaque in honor of two boys of the Senior Class of 1946 who died in unfortunate accidents. The plaque was hung by the members of the M Club of 1946. We stroll down the hall a little farther and look into the typing room. Through the efforts of the Commercial Clubs of 1947 and 1948 a new adding machine and much needed fluores- cent lights have been added to this department. And so down the stairs to the Home Eco- nomics room, where we spy a new steam iron which the Home Economics Club of 1947 donated to that department. Returning to the main fioor, we pause at the library door, where we see many changes. Be- side the librarian's desk is the new adjustable globe on which, as an added feature, one can tell the time of any place in the world. Two magazine racks, one the home of popular issues and the other the source of information on col- leges and universities throughout the country, are in constant use by students. We are at- tracted to the trophy case in which many Rl awards are displayed. Each year since 1939 has added to the collection. As we leave the school we pause at the office where we see the office girls busy with the ditto machine, recently added to the office equipment, making tests for the respective classes. Here we read ri notice saying Assembly Friday, a selected educational assembly offered for stu- dents' enjoyment. Mr. Farnham is busy pre- paring a test for the driver's education course which in 1947-48 put Madison High School on the map as one of the first six schools in the state to adopt this program. Twenty-eight pupils passed the state test and received their driver's licenses last year. The schedule on the bulletin board shows mornings somewhat changed from those of 1939. An activity period makes it possible for the pupils to express them- selves in music, plays, clubs, and other extra- curricular activities. As the heavy door swings to behind us, we look back on the same eagle and feel a surge of pride in our high school. Remembering the many improvements since 1939, we wonder what the next ten years will bring forth. Don Withee '50, Assistant Editor Present This is a year of improvement in M. H. S. Our school has done many things this year that will be thought of for years to come. We will try to relate some of them in the following para- graphs. The teachers and the students are working together for the betterment of our school. This year is band year-a year that is to be remembered for a long time as the start of a better and bigger band and orchestra for M. H. S. lt will give the students a priceless pas- time, and it will give the community a better understanding of music. As it is taught in the public schools this will affect not only students but many people in this town and nearby com- munities. Nearly everyone likes to hear good music which comes only from good bands and orchestras. The parents. as well as the students, are behind the band as indicated by the par- ents' help in the purchase or rental of needed instruments. Uniforms for every member of the M. H. S. Band are the goal this year. Uniforms do not directly change the quality of music a band plays, but they do so indirectly by raising the morale of the players. Thus, the players will want to practice more and more. M. H. S. football team won two trophies this year. They won the Triangular League Champs Trophy competed for by Skowhegan, Lawrence, and Madison High Schools. They also won the Kennebec Valley League Champs Trophy. Tennis started off this year, for the first time in several years. We played Kents Hill twice. The M. H. S. boys lost both matches, but they gained experience that will help them win this next season. Tennis gives both boys and girls a chance to show their abilities in sports and gives the girls another sport to play. Equipping the boys' lockers with combina- tion locks this year has resulted in fewer absen- tees from physical education classes due to lost keys. Approximately 50 books have been added to the school library this year. New fiags in place of the worn ones add to the appearance of the rooms this year. The typing room is now equipped with a Dictaphone, rented by the Commercial Club for the use of the Senior Commercial students. As their contribution to the constantly increas- ing equipment of the commercial department the members of this year's Commercial Club have purchased a new Burroughs calculator. Proficiency in the use of the Dictaphone and calculator will help the girls when they gradu- ate and take their places in the working world, as many employers require their stenographers to have previous experience with such machines. The biology laboratory has had a Bioscope added to its limited equipment. This scope projects its specimens onto a screen, wall, ceil- ing or table top. It has two low-power lenses, and a high-power light bulb. The specimen is enlarged mostly through being projected in somewhat the way a film is made larger by pro- jecting it further. The school has acquired a new tape recorder. This will record anything from public speeches and performances to classroom oral subjects. If the sociology students are studying a certain type of government, a radio speech on that topic can be recorded and played back to the class the next day. Any class can benefit in some manner from this recorder. In the purchase of this equipment, M. H. S. continues to be among the first to take advantage of the newer meth- ods of education. M. H. S. was represented by three boys at thc first Dirigo Boys' State. The boys to have this wonderful opportunity were Clifton Goodwin, Hadley Kittredge, and Iames Thorne. james Thorne also had the honor of going to Wash- ington, D. C., to represent, with one other boy, Dirigo Boys' State. The three boys spent a week in Orono, at the University of Maine, studying town, city, county and state govern- ment. Their way was paid by several organ- izations of this town. Any organization or per- son wishing to sponsor a boy may do so by contacting the American Legion. A group of capable men make this week of study like a week of play. It is an experience that every boy and girl will remember. M. H. S. was represented by Connie Mac- Donald at Dirigo Girls' State which is similar to Boys' State. The camp was held at the Pine Tree Camp in Oakland. Taking all the advances we have made this year, our school has progressed both in educa- tion and in extra-curricular activities. The band and orchestra are growing, our one-act play won the contest, and our teams have gained many victories. All of these things have helped to raise the standards of our school. Hadley F. Kittredge '49 Future What does the word future mean to you? VVebster defines it as the time to come, pros- pects. What is your future going to be? What are you planning to make of your future? Answer these questions truthfully and you will know your present status and your future prospects. Everyone has a future however different they may be. Even buildings have futures. Madi- son High School has a future, one which we trust will be outstanding. We as the present students hope that Madison High School will expand and introduce more varied courses to if IN ANNIYER SARYh 9 iii? 9 gag, fi ' Z1 xii ig?

There are many things which we know we need for Madison High School to make her tomorrows brighter. We need fluorescent lights throughout the entire building, and cur- tains for the stage with matching drapes for the auditorium. More modern and healthier base- ment facilities are a necessity. We need and would enjoy music and art clubs to enable stu- dents with ability to participate. For our sec- retaries of tomorrow we need a course that will teach them how to meet the public, how to be courteous towards the people with whom they come in contact, and how to answer the tele- phone. We need a life adjustment program giving our future citizens the correct whole- he oice The editors of the 1949 BULLDOG have asked for some autobiographical notes and a shon article from this previous editor. On paper it really doesn't seem that I have been doing very much these past ten years. Most of that time I've been attending one school or another. After two years at the University of Maine, I awoke one Iune day in the Army. I was ex- tremely fortunate in the Army and was sent to take courses at the Universities of New Hamp- shire, Vermont and VVisconsin. After spending a brief period at Lovell General Hospital as a bed pan commando I went to the school of Medicine at Boston University. At this time I attained my highest rank in the Army and re- ceived the coveted chevron that designated me as a Pfc. I recovered from the dizzying effects of this singular honor in time to be discharged after three years of decidedly unspectacular service. Last Iune I graduated from Medical School and shortly afterwards started my interneship at Central Maine General Hospital in Lewiston. I expect to remain here until Iuly 1949. I retired from my bachelor status last Octo- ber when Mary Lyons and I were married. I met Mary at Massachusetts Memorial Hospital Where she was Finishing her nurse's training about three years ago. so you can see it was truly whirlwind courtship. At present my plans include taking some ad- some attitudes which they need for a happy, successful life. We need a course in health, showing our students how to form correct hab- its in everyday life to enable them to enjoy good health. We need a full-time librarian for our school. We know that our student librarians are doing a Fine job. However, we realize their ability cannot be compared to that of an experienced librarian. There are innumerable things that we need, but merely writing them down or reading them accomplishes little. It is the students, parents, teachers, principals, superintendents of our school and of every school who must cooperate in giving the schools of America the futures they need. Mary Helen Bearor '50 of the Past vanced training in Boston for a year or two before I settle to do general practice somewhere in Maine. So much for autobiography - now for the deathless pearls of wisdom that are supposed to gush freely just because it's ten years later. I do hope the members of the Class of '49 will evaluate more clearly their place in the life of today than I did in 1939. I'm afraid I wasn't nearly as aware of America's true position in international affairs as was my good friend Howard Wagner. He was very definite in his proposal that the United States should send an army to invade Germany and prevent a great War which would involve us as well as Europe. At that time Hitler and Mussolini were gath- ering momentum. Russia was helping Franco, Iapan was threatening China. The United States had finally passed some elaborate laws which were designed to keep us neutral. I couldn't understand how fighting a war would solve the basic problems affecting the peoples of the world. I was definitely wrong, though, in thinking that the United States could maintain her security without fighting for it. What is the position now in 1949? Hitler is dead, Mussolini is dead, and yet over vast areas of Europe there is no more freedom than there was at the height of German-Italian domina- tion. Thcre are no Iapanese soldiers in China. Nevertheless, there is considerably less freedom iTIN ANNIYER SARY in China today than at the height of Iapanese domination. The greatest difference, however, it seems to me, is in the personal feelings of the American people. Today we have a much more acute sense of responsibility. Our foreign policy has not always been wise, nor will it always be in- fallible, but it has seemed to maintain the initi- ative in the past year of cold war. In 1949 we must maintain that awareness of world problems - we must keep the initiative in RussoAmerican relations. With a spirit that forces you to consider Madison as a part of the world and not only a portion of Maine, you men and women will have gone a long step ahead of this writer's thinking in '39, If you apply well the lessons learned since '39 a new era of world peace may yet evolve - and the members of the Class of 149 may well be instru- mental in shaping and keeping that long sought for goal. Doctor Robert A. Bearor '39 The past several weeks I have thought in vain upon some theme to write for your book. It seems impossible to find anything that could be of interest to you who are now ready to go out on your own. You face a hard world at a critical timeg it will be hard for you to make decisions and de- cide upon your future. I say take the world as it is, face it and don't ever hesitate to take a chance if it means a chance for you to get ahead. As long as it is honest, give it a whirl, you'll never know the answer till you try. Good luck to all of you and the best of every- thing to you. Scott Iohnson '40 Sergeant Benjamin White, 1941 Editor, was killed in action in World War II. To Be, Rather Than to Seem I With apologies to the state of North Carolina for using this, their motto, At first, when I sat down to write this article for the 1949 Yearbook, I hoped to put into dynamic words some unique and powerful idea or thought. On the contrary, however, I turned to a plain and unadorned subject - a subject, the principle of which, all of us would do well to accept and live by. To Be, Rather Than to Seem applies to very nearly all of us. Ever since childhood for various reasons we have tried to appear to be that which we were not. A little boy seems to be unafraid of a heavy thunder storm, but actu- ally he is quaking in his shoes. And so on through life until we reach the adult stage and this period often times is the worst mask-wear- ing deceptive stage of all: we like to appear to be anything but what we really are. What does this camouflaging get us? Nothing! Our masks always develop holes and we are found out in the end. They only way to enjoy true friendship is to BE yourself. The greatest crime resulting from this fool- hardiness is our becoming increasingly dishon- est with our very selves. A sad portrait of a man indeed!! Therefore, in order To Be, Rather Than to Seem, start being painstak- ingly honest with yourself. For, to quote the famous passage, To thine own self be true and it must follow as the night the day, thou can'st not then be false to any man. Perry Harding '42 Autobiography After graduating from high school, I served for 33 months in the U. S. Army, 27 of which were in England, France, and Germany. After receiving my discharge, I was employed by the Service for a few Massachusetts Hospital months prior to entering Tufts College. I am now in my junior year chemical engineering. At the present time I am a member of the of the Army, Tufts and am majoring in Enlisted Reserve Corps Chemical Society, Tufts Student Chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, the Tufts-Iackson Off-Hill Club, and the staff of the Trav-Hiller, a monthly publication of the OH-Hill Club. I am also a student affiliate of the American Chemical Society. Malcolm E. Magill '43 After graduation in Iune of 1944, 1 attended Colby College for two years, registered as a pre- medical major. In August of 1946 I married Stanley Ferguson of the class of 1941. Stan and he at- I lived in Bangor the next year while tended Higgins Classical Institute.

Traditionally the teacher has been thought of as a peculiar kind of virtuous and unreal personality, akin to a clergyman. In the past the teacher was to set a good example to the students and, on a smaller scale, to the whole community. Recreations and diversions which were found inviting, pleasant, and socially acceptable to adults of any small town were strictly taboo for the teachers. Al- most every phase of their life, from mode of dress and manners of speech to moral behavior, was subject to public investigation on standards of propriety considerably higher than those to which the rest of the community was expected to comply. Conditions are gradually improving. Today the women teachers are allowed more freedom in their mode of dress. All teachers are permit- ted more Qbut I do not say how much morej personal private life. Present-day teachers are well-trained and skillful in their handling of children. The old ideas of stern discipline 'i and training the mind have passed. There is a new educational thinking and with it should come a new social position for the indi- viduals responsible for this new system. It is still very common to find fairly well-informed adults poking fun at new educational ideas. These same adults still hold the out-dated con- cepts of teacher behavior. However, teachers in America from the kindergarten to the university are becoming a more nearly normal group in appearance, personal conduct, interests, and ambitions. The average community has by no means wholly approved of this change, but in spite of the opposition, the teacher is gradually being cast in a different role. Perhaps at some future date she will be regarded by all as an equal member of the human race! Ethelyn Fletcher Ferguson '44 World Upon My Shoulders Tomorrow I hoist the world upon my shoul- ders. The world is gargantuang I am afraid. Yes, I am afraid - for I have heard murmur- ingsg I am afraid - for I have heard rumors. The destiny of tomorrow lies in the hands .J ,li of our youth. Last week an orator shook his linger violently at me. I squirmed uncomfort- ably, and I shifted my gaze. Yesterday it was in the headlines of newspapers. I was startled, and I became depressed. Today the radio is dramatizing it. I shiver, and I feel insecure. Destiny? I? What do they mean? Destiny - I -I who only yesterday kicked a ball across a muddy held with my body and soul? I who cheered stoutly for my victorious opponent when my heart was bleeding for my fighting team? I who threw a spitball to distract the brain out front? I who wore a necktie to charm the girl I loved? I who scribbled pic- tures when English got a bore ? Destiny-I? Destiny - I always thought that was big stuff, Stuff for Roosevelts and Trumans, Marshalls and Eisenhowers, Fords and Rocke- fellers. Then why do they point their fingers at me? Why do they make me uncomfortable in my seat? Why do they expect me to hold the world upon my back? Say . . . do you suppose that Eisenhower ever got muddied in a football suit? Don't you think that perhaps Henry Ford cheered hoarsely for some team? Maybe Harry Tru- man played hooky to mend some fishing tackle. Destiny . . . it's great stuff. World, here are my shoulders. And tomorrow I won't turn back! Miriam Kochakian '45 Along with forty-eight others I graduated from M. H. S. in 1946. During my four-year stay in high school I took an interest in the BULLDOG, serving on the editorial staff in my junior and senior years. In comparing the quality of the BULLDOG with that of similar school yearbooks I have found the M. I-I. S. publication always equal or superior to the others, and I believe that under the direction of successive editorial staffs and supervision of the faculty its high standards have been ably main- tained. Possible improvements would involve only minor, insignificant changes. Among its best aspects are the large number of clear group photographs, a liberal amount of students' original work, a rather complete cov- erage of all sports and activities, the added natural touch of informal snaps, and the school calendar. The overall organization also seems to be entirely satisfactory. ,,,., TIN ANNIYERSARYh For improvements I have no concrete sugges- tions. Possibly the poems adjoining seniors' photographs might be eliminated, and substi- tuted for them might be more pertinent infor- mation about the students, such as nicknames and ambitions. Additional humor might ap- pear in this issue to create more direct appeal to the student body. I congratulate former BULLDOG staffs on their performance and I wish to the present staff every chance for a bright, successful publi- cation of the M. H. S. BULLDOG. Robert L. Harding '46 We live in a small town. There is little sign here of racial or religious prejudice in our town. Many of you will be leaving here and meeting people of all races, and religions from all parts of the country and world. You'll find prejudice and intolerance sneaking in about you. You'll hear, That kike would gyp you out of anything, or What can you expect from a nigger? Before you realize it, these phrases that you hear will build up in your mind until you too, are prejudiced, unless you think ration- ally rather than emotionally. Rather than run- ning people down for something that is more our fault than theirs, try fighting this segrega- tion. fYou'll forgive me for saying we and they and thus not practising what I prcach. j One of my girl friends told me of an incident in her childhood. I'd like to tell you. Sylvia was only six years old. She had just moved to a new section in Brooklyn. She knelt by her mother crying as if her heart were broken. Mommy, she sobbed, as only a child of six can, when can we move again? The kids won't let me play with them here. They said I was just a dirty Iew. Why do they hate me? When can we go away? That girl has never forgotten it. Now she has an inferiority complex which she tries to cover up by being superficially gay, by trying too hard to impress people, to make people like her in spite of the fact that she is Hebrew. Many say that she's just another overbearing lewf' ls it her fault that her personality is warped-or the fault of the children who made fun of her? The children didn't know the meaning of what they said. We aren't born with hate, they heard only what their parents had said and repeated. In this world is there not enough hate and destruction without the addition of racial and religious intolerance? What does it matter if his skin is black, white, yellow, or red, or if he sits cross-legged to eat with sticks, or if he kneels or lies- prostrate to pray to a God of his own choice? Surely, in spite of all the sarcasms you hear, with your rugged New England individualism you can help overcome some of this prejudice that is so prevalent in the world today. Gloria Franklin '47 Your College You students who are planning to enter col- lege should give yourselves enough time to in- vestigate those colleges which interest you. The right choice in the beginning may save you many of the troubles and headaches that beset college freshmen who are misfits. You would do well to ask yourself the following questions: 1. Do I want to attend a small college or a large college? 2. Would it be better for me to attend a col- lege in a different section of the country? 3. How much individual help and attention shall I probably need? 4. Does my prospective college enable me to receive that help? 5. Is the college's scholastic standing as high as I would wish? 6. Am I offered a thorough course in my chosen profession? 7. I-Iow competent will my instructors be? 8. Will the competition force me to work my- self to capacity? 9. Will my financial status permit me to stay at my chosen college? Do not be frightened by the size of a college. Size means nothing. Often more individual instruction is offered in a large institution than in a small one. Above all, choose a college to fit your own personal needs. Norman Weston '48 Ct-ntcr 7 Beatrice Harvic.

The council con- sists of the following by their respective classes - Senior Class: Robert Ellingwood, Robert Ehrlich, and Clifton Goodwin: Iunior Class: Pauline Hilton, and Gerald Sidellg Sophomore Class: Ioyce MacDonald, and Lawrence Perry, and last but not least the Freshman Class: Shir- ley Bearor and Dana Wingren. Their faculty adviser is Mr. Farnham. At their first council meeting they elected ofli- cers which are as follows: President, Robert Ehrlichg Vice President, Gerald Sidellg Secre- tary, Pauline Hilton, and Treasurer, Clifton Goodwin. Our student government decided that their project for the year would be to obtain fiuores- cent lighting for the school library. To get enough money for this alone is a problem, but by having a few Friday night dances, taking over the sale of refreshments at the home basket- My Trip to Last summer I attended Maine Dirigo Boys' State from which Gordon Milliken of Cony High and I were chosen to go to Washington to attend the National Boys' Forum. Gordon and I left Augusta on Thursday night and arrived in Washington Friday noon. We were taken to the American University where we mtt two boys from each of forty-five states. Saturday we visited the Capitol Building, Lincoln Memorial, Iefferson Memorial, and Washington Monument. Sunday morning we attended church. Dur- ing the afternoon we went to Mt. Vernon, Arlington National Cemetery, and laid a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. In the ball games, and by taking charge of anything that proved profitable, the problem was partially solved. If the lights aren't bought this year, the project will be left for the new student council to Finish. Another item on their list of discussions was the obtaining of letters for the Iunior Varsity members of football and basketball. It was de- cided, instead, that the letters would be numer- als and of the year in which the player hopes to graduate, The selection of cheerleaders was also solved this year. At a selected time during the last weeks of the school year a board, consisting of the acting presidents of the four classes and two faculty members, will choose them at a cheer- leader tryout. The Student Council hopes that this year will be a start to better student government and wishes to thank Mr. Farnham for his coopera- tion. Washington evening we were given a concert by the United States Marine Band. Monday we went to the Pentagon Building and the Navy Department where we met and shook hands with General Bradley and Admiral Denfield. Monday evening we were dinner guests at the National Press Club. Tuesday we held a mock session of the Sen- ate in the Old House Oiiice Building. After lunch in the Senate Dining Room, we walked to the Supreme Court Building and the State Department where we personally met Secretary of State, George Marshall. Wednesday Gordon and I had lunch with Senator Brewster and visited Congress in ses- sion with Margaret Chase Smith. In the after- I 34 fr .Q f 4- ' I .. iz , ., . ,Q . . 'g3's,g,gii.-i .,-.-Q.-Q -1-ff noon we joined the other boys and went to Annapolis where we were escorted around by midshipmen from our own state. One of the highlights of this day was standing retreat and marching into mess with all the rnidshipmen. Thursday morning we toured the F. B. I. Building and had a very personal conversation with Attorney General Tom Clark. Thursday afternoon we visited the White House where we met and shook hands with President Tru- man. Immediately after bidding good-bye to Girls' On the morning of Iune 12, 1948, I arrived at Girls' State which was held at the Pine Tree Camps in Oakland. One girl was selected from each of the high schools in the state of Maine to attend this camp for one week. The purpose was to teach us the parliamentary procedures of our town, county, and state governments. During the week we listened to many important lectures concerning our government and how it functions. After many exciting campaign speeches which stated the beliefs of our outstanding poli- ticians, we elected town, county, and state officers. We had long parades. Posters were painted and hung on trees and all other con- spicuous places in the camp. Other activities consisted of canoeing, swimming, rowing, bas- ketball, softball, ping-pong, dancing, and sing- ing. I met many wonderful girls with whom I still correspond. A banquet was held on the last night when awards which we had won during the week were given to us. Our Governor of Girls' State, Ioan Shea, spoke to us. W' 'ex our friends, Gordon and I left Washington Air- port for New York. We spent the evening in Times Square. Friday we left Newark Airport for Boston and home. Along with all the tours, we held also many mock government sessions and elected a Iunior President of the United States. This trip, spon- sored by the American Legion, is one that I enjoyed very much and shall never forget. Iames Thorne '49 State I think that any girl who is chosen to repre- sent Madison High School at Girls' State should be very honored because she not only learns some important, worth-while things about our government but she meets some nice girls and has a wonderful time. I think the objectives of Girls' State are summarized in our camp song. Raise your voices, raise them high. Sing to Girls' State and here's why. Look to Girls' State and you'll find, The future leaders of mankind. We are the future builders, Leaders in a band, And we come from Girls' State, The best state in the land. We are up and coming, Progressive and head-strong, And to dear old Girls' State, We proudly sing this song.

With pride we point to ten years of successful publication of the BULLDOG. Im- provements have been made year after year to better the BULLDOG in every way, and during these ten years the many members of the staff have unselfishly contributed their time and effort. To these people the BULLDOG owes its success. There are many added attractions in this year's BULLDOG. Besides being an anniver- sary year, it has also been an unusually success- ful year in sports and dramatics. We hope this yearbook will not only be fav- orably received by the student body, but also by all the Alumni of the past ten years. 1 i. , Q v ' 'll .. Ah .1 W 1 'VS la X ,.,- 1' I -S'-im-V A I ,.

Sadie Hawkins Dance A stranger might have thought he were in Dog-patch County, had he visited Madison High School Friday evening, October 26. For on that evening, a large group of students, dressed in Dog-patch styles, enjoyed dancing and games while faculty members tried to select a Lil' Abner and Daisy Mae. The final deci- sion was in favor of Diane Greenleaf as Daisy Mae, Don Burrill as Lil' Abner. Refreshments were served throughout the evening. Congratulations go to the Home Eco- nomics Club for sponsoring such a successful and enjoyable evening. iTIN ANNIVER SARYh Football Banquet The annual football banquet held in honor of the football team, and sponsored by the Kiwanis Club, was enjoyed by all present. The guest speaker for the evening was Moses Nanigian, former coach at Madison High, now at Lewiston. He gave a very interesting speech on choosing the right college for further educa- tion and urged the boys not to rush into this without adequate consideration. Mr. Clement presented letters to all the letter- men and congratulated them on a fine season. A short speech was given by each of the two assistant coaches, Warren Alibcrti and Philip Harris. After this the Co-Captains, Normie Morris and Don LeBlanc, presented the coach with a gift from the team. The assistant coaches also received gifts. Football Dance The football dance, sponsored by the M Club, succeeded in supplying the Finishing touches to that wonderful record the boys turned in this year. Normie Morris and Betty Clement were crowned the King and Queen during the festivi- ties of the evening. They reigned supreme while everyone had a good time dancing to the music of Al Corey's Orchestra. The football players were the center of attraction all evening. Quarterback Bill Bassett, after a little coax- ing, provided an added attraction in the field of entertainment by singing a song. The hall was attractively decorated with blue and white streamers and refreshments were served during the evening. The captains of all the out-of-town teams which we played during the fall were asked to attend as guests of the M Club. Freshman-Sophomore Party On Friday night, October 1, many bewildered Freshmen were initiated into their high school roles. Shortly after they had established a foot- hold, the new faculty members were called upon to perform. The remaining part of the evening was spent in dancing and playing games. it uv, LIBRARIANS lfirst row-Gloria Delano, Mary licaror, Arthur Andrews, Gerald Sidell, Mary Foster. Miss lmok adviser.

Many students who are not able to play a musical instrument ol' any kind, find the chorus a chance for them to take part in musical activities. Mr. VVrenn conducted an audition as usual in the fall enrolling many new freshmen in his chorus. He also encouraged those upperclass- men who were not members of the chorus last year to participate this year. There is a total enrollment of sixty-eight members consisting of seventeen sopranos, eight First altos, ten second altos, twenty-one tenors, and twelve basses. The chorus meets each W'ednestlay during club period led by their skillful director, Mr. Wrenn. The chorus plans to compete in a music fes- tival at Waterville. Last year at Dexter the chorus was recognized for the enjoyment they took in their singing. Mr. Wrenn deserves a great tleal of credit for all that he has done. 1 H':'z.

The band has played at nearly all Friday assemblies, as well as many evening affairs such as the minstrel show, the one-act play contest, and the senior play. The band's repertoire has been greatly in- creased and its members are working very hard. Mr. Wrenn deserves a great deal ol: credit for producing so much improvement in the band this year. 45 ii., , gf f ' -'ff-L' . B T0 CURP' J ' Z5 .--+...,- lnst rim I'.itrict.i Longlci.

Clifford Clark '50 eyes THE GHOST CLOCK My Grandfather was born in New Bruns- wick. On the day of his birth, his folks bought a new clock which in later years was to become his own. Although the clock was hideous and unsightly, he loved it. At times he showed more love for that clock than for his own family. Once when I was a little shaver, I had a whip. Gramp was showing me how to pick up objects with it. I watched, then tried it myself. I brought the whip up over my head, unknown to me, the whip tangled in the fancy scroll work which made up the decorations of the old clock. When l pulled the whip forward, the clock left its peaceful setting, flew over my head, and landed with a resounding crash at the feet of my Grandfather! Gramps picked up the clock, petted it once or twice and set it back on the shelf. It kept perfect time. He always tended to it personally. Ift might even be said that the clock lived while Gramps did. There seemed to be a strange tie between the old man and that clock. While he was alive it kept perfect time. When he took sick it began to lose time, and when he died, it stopped completely. I hated that clock so badly that I named it Satan. Satan became so undependable that we had to get rid of it. We knew that Grand- mother did not want it destroyed, so it was not for love of the old man that we kept it. Before he died he became very mean and placed his clock above everyone elseg we resented that. When Buster, my uncle, first heard about it, he bought an electric mantle clock with West- minster Chimes to put in Satan's place. It was beautiful. Satan could not touch it in beauty. But still Satan held its own. We made room for the new clock on the Frigidaire. Later on, Buster came home on furlough. He nearly hit the ceiling when he saw where we had put the new clock. We had not dared touch the old clock for fear of something hap- pening to it. But he cared not for it and up it went into the attic. The new clock took its rightful place on the mantle. Satan was placed somewhere over my head with only a thin layer of fiber board separating us. It ran like a charm up there in the dark- ness by itself. When it struck the hour, it was like a faint gong, a sort of wavy, ghostly sound. After I First heard it, I was dumbfounded. It seemed strange that the clock, silent for so long, was running up there by itself. I got used to it, but I was pretty angry after being awakened out of a sound sleep every hour-on-the-hour just to listen to Satan bong happily away. Maybe Gramp was caressing it for old time's sake, maybe the clock was enjoying a happy reunion.-Who Knows?

Do you know that every incident in your life and mine is re- corded in poetry? If you don't think so look and see for yourself. Poets have written of our gay times and our heartaches. They have re- corded tales of fair days and of stormy nights. Yes, and all these treasures are at our fingertips if we will only use them. I will try to explain with the aid of poetry. ln Song of Myself, Walt Whitman records, The married and unmarried children ride home to their Thanksgiving dinner. fDo you remember those trips?j The young sister holds out the skein while the elder winds it off in a ball, and stops now and then for the knots. QDid Your arms ever ache?j The child is baptised, the convert is making his first profes- sions. In Snowbound, Iohn Greenleaf Whittier says, Our buskins on our feet we drew, With mittened hands and caps drawn low, To guard our necks and ears from snow, We cut the solid whiteness through. QWinter is fun, isn't it?j In the Courtin,, Iames Russell Lowell tells of all the courting ever done merely be record- ing one coupleys actions. Says he, 'I'd better call againf Says she, ' Think likely, Mister., Thet last word pricked him like a pin, An' - -1 Wal he up an' kist her. Yes, there are poems about Sally's new doll, Bessy's new beau, Dad's old pipe and Iim's new girl - poems of our country, our religion, and race. Poems have been written about Annie's new dress, Iackis long trousers and Nellyls new, high-heeled shoes. Some are poems you'll like and some are poems you'll dislike, but for every one you don't like there are two that you will like. If you are one of the unfortunates who haven't enjoyed poetry, it is merely because you haven't known what poetry is. Find out and make yours a richer, fuller life, merely by the use of poetry. Mary Helen Bearor ,50 WHAT GIRLS NOTICE ABOUT BOYS The girls take just as much notice of the boys as the boys do of the girls. Perhaps the looks and build of a boy does make at girl look twice, but it is really his personality that counts. Quite a few boys who are handsome are rather stuck on themselves. They go from girl to girl and are known finally as heartbreakers. Soon after this the girls take their looks for granted, then start noticing the boy who is a gentleman. Take warning, boys, because the girls notice your neatness, clothes, smile and hair as you do theirs. Helen Chizmar '50 WHAT BOYS NOTICE ABOUT GIRLS There are certain qualities' which a boy notices in a girl. One of these is her graceful- ness. One of the first things I noticed as I en- tered a study hall this morning was the expert rhythm of more than half the girls. Why should this easy grace and rhythm be wasted? It seems a pity that such an art should not be appreciated. There is an old adage which states Prac- tice makes perfectf, These girls are perfection- ists in their own right. They practice from the time they arise until they retire. Why should a little thing like attending school interrupt their practice? Why, Indeed! In order to do a little research and also gain some first hand informa- tion all you need is a girl, a school room, and a package of gum. Gerald Sidcll '50 THE LITTLE CHRISTMAS TREE Ioan Iones was a small girl who lived in Switzerland. Her parents were very poor, and often they didn't have enough to eat. The day before Christmas, Ioan was out in the woods looking for a Christmas tree. She sighted one down in the valley. She was just about ready to cut the tree, when someone started talking to her. Please, little girl, don't cut me. If you do, Santa won't have a resting place Christmas Eve. Ioan was speechless for a few minutes. The tree was very cute, and a tree was the only pretty thing the Ioneses had to look at Christ- mas Day. However, Ioan decided she wouldn't cut the tree. She found another one and took it home. She related her story to both her mother and father. They told her she was imagining if IN ANNIYIER SARYh things, but loan still thought the little tree had spoken to her. On Christmas Day Santa came, as usual, but when Ioan awoke the next morning, there was enough food under the Christmas tree to last them a whole year. Every year Santa comes and leaves food for the Ioneses. They are all very grateful, but Ioan believes it was the Christmas tree that said a good word for them because she didn't cut it. Every time Ioan goes near the little tree it seems to smile at her and whispers, Thank you. Virginia Stoutamyer '52 TINKLE DUST IN FAIRYLAND There is a deep silence over Santa Claus's Fairyland. Not a soul is stirring. Everyone is asleep - even Santa Claus! Where is the little fairy who always rings the bell on the big alarm clock to awake Santa and his helpers? It is just two days until Christmas. Is Santa not planning his journey around the world? Listen! What is that I hear? Goodness, it's a little star. Let's ask him what's his name and what he is doing on earth. Hello, little star. What is your name? Hello, replies he very sadly. My name is Tinkle Dust, but you may call me Tinkle. What are you doing on earth, Tinkle, and why are you so sad? Tinkle begins his story. One day, as I was shining brightly, along came a bad old elf. He had a long sharp knife in his hand. With one swift movement of his knife I was sent tum- bling to the earth. He had cut the cord behind me which held me in the sky. My, what a strange place this is! Where am I? This is Santa Claus's Fairyland, but some- thing is very wrong here. The little fairy that rings the bell on the big alarm clock to awake Santa and his helpers hasn't rung it yet. What do you suppose the matter is? I know, answers Tinkle, I'll go and find out. OH he goes, with his little heart feeling right. Let's see what he does. Tinkle crept around a big snowdrift. He is slowly making his way towards the big alarm clock. What do you suppose he sees? There is the little fairy in her bed. She has Stardust Fever. She is all green frbm her head to her A 68 feet. Probably everyone has it. The only man that knows the cure is the Man in the Moon. The rule of the heavens is that anyone who came to the earth could not return. Oh dear! What can Tinkle do. He has no way to let the Man in the Moon know. Then he thought of an idea. He could use his little radio. He is now telling the Man in the Moon his trouble and he said he would help Tinkle. Well my star, you did a noble deed. I think I shall make a new cord for you so you may return home. I think the Man in the Moon will let you go, Santa is telling Tinkle, and all his helpers agree. Santa has been cured of the fever along with the rest of his helpers. He will now be able to make his Christmas journey and Tinkle will be able to return home. Ioyce Boynton '52 WHY I LIVE IN AMERICA I think there could be no greater privilege than to be a citizen of the United States of America. Here I can have a joyous feeling of freedom, the right to make my own friends without interference from high ofhcials. I also have the right to walk down the street, admire and speak freely or criticize the things passing before my eyes. Since I first started school I can remember learning how to pay my respect to the Ameri- can flag without force, singing American Folk songs that will linger in one's memory for life. Boys and girls of my own age are gradually learning the meaning of democracy, some who learn quickly have already accomplished this. As one goes about his daily work, he may hear remarks made by other children: How I hate this old geography or history! Some day maybe these children will realize the value of these studies in which they are indulging. I learned who the father of my country was, how he sweat and toiled to accomplish a free and independent nation. I read about a man who saw this country through the most critical period in American History, who watched his men at one time die almost at his feet, and at the end completed the famous Gettysburg Address with the words that will never die from the heart of the Amer- ican people, and this government, of the J, kt? - I g H.: -L,,...ar-ee--W' people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. I read how Abraham Lincoln struck the shackles from the slaves with the great Emancipation Proclamation. When I think of how I grew up in a won- derful small world of my own, protected from the horror of want or suffering, and how my children must grow up with the same feeling of protection, I know that there is still some- thing to fight for so that I may help preserve this wonderful sense of liberty. One must not forget for a moment how men fought and died to gain this, or how people suffered to create the greatest nation ever made. I can go about my daily work without a feeling of guilt for something I had said or thought about a certain government official. Freedom of the press is observed on the edi- torial page of any newspaper. On this page the editor has the right to criticize the mechanism called our government. Yes, I can proudly sit back and think or dream of Why I live in America 5' and love it. lean Fuller '50 ELEVEN O'CLOCK DEADLINE All right officer, you can put that gun away, I'm turning myself in. I'm not taking any chances with youg we're going to see the Chief, the officer said harshly. HO. K., let's get it over with. 1 Where did you find him? 'I asked the Chief. I'Ie's turning himself in, said the officer. Tony Orchard turning himself in! I thought you said you'd never give up without a fightf' the Chief said. That's what I said, but it's different now, I can't sleep nights. I had to do something - you got to protect me - he said, I'm going to die at eleven o'clock tonight - you got to pro- tect me - Wait a minute. Who says so? asked the Chief, trying to calm him down. Well it's a long story, let me tell you about it. I got to tell somebody, Tony said with exasperation, before I go nuts. Sure, sit down, the Chief said. You know about three years ago I killed a man named Ralph Lloyd. I got paid live thou- sand for the elimination. just before I killed him, he was telling me how wrong it was to .. .r . 1' , ,A 17,1 5 Ti .V ,.,.,,.Y ---,.,-1 take other people's lives. I didn't pay any at- tention to him but his dying words were that I would join him in exactly three years to the day and hour. It was almost eleven o'clock then. Well I forgot all about it: I'm not superstitious anyway so it didn't bother me. About three weeks ago he came back and has been haunting me ever since. He kept reminding me of the date. It got so I couldn't sleep thinking about it. I thought I should go crazy. I was all alone in a two by four room, and I figured if I had some company I'd feel better. I called up a kid named Charles Stuart, who's been running errands for me while I've been in hiding and told him to bring up some cigarettes. He said he would be up in a half hour. I sat down, let my last cigarette and waited. A short while later I heard someone saying: 'Tony, Tony,' just as Lloyd does when he haunts me. I grabbed my gun when the door started to open and turned out the lights. I guess I lost my head. Anyway all I could see was a silhouette that looked like Lloyd. Before I knew what I was doing I started shooting. I shot about six times before I realized that it was Charley bringing the cigarettes. It was too late then: I saw his face all covered with blood and just stood there staring at it. Then I heard Lloyd's voice saying, 'What's the matter, Tony, losing your nerve? ' I picked up the lamp and threw it at his voice. There was a big crash and all I could hear was his laughing, then he said that he'd see me at eleven o'clock. I rushed out and came here: l couldnit take it any longerf' UO. K., 0. K., you're safe here until you go on trial, the Chief said reassuringly. U Hey Chief, there's a man out here who wants to see yon. I-Ie says his son has been killed, said an excited officer. 'LThat's right, and I know who did it. I'm going to kill him if I find him, the man said. What's his name? asked the Chief. His name is Tony Orchard, growled the man. He's in here: he turned himself in and told us all about it, the Chief said. There you are, you dirty skunk, you're go- ing to get what's coming to you right now, the man yelled. A K ...NJ if IN ANNIYIER SARY Stop! Stop him! I-le's got a gun! BANG! BANG! BANG! I got him, cried the officer. You might have, but I got Tony, I-Ia, I-Ia. Take him away, the Chief said, see if there is anything you can do for Tony. The only guy that can do anything for him is the undertaker, the officer said. clock striking Listen, isn't that the eleven? Clifton Stevens '49 THE RIDDLE OF THE WILL The door of the old gloomy mansion on Bur- gctt Street slowly opened. The butler, a tall, well-dressed man, appeared. The couple at the door were beckoned in. In- side the house were many people waiting in silence. Presently a woman dressed in a white starchy uniform appeared and announced that the end had come. Rather than sorrow, there seemed to be an air of relief fall over the group. At last the moment had come, the moment they had all waited for. The will of the sickly, aged miser would be read the following day. In the room his relatives had gathered one by one, in couples, and in groups to await his death. On the couch were his two nieces, Anna and Cecelia, and his sister, Roberta. Standing by the window was Tom Wood, his brother, and Nan. The one that was favored most by the old miser was Nan, his little grand- daughter. She was kind and gentle to him at all times, and understood him, as no one else did. Everyone in the room hated Mr. Wood, ex- cept Nan. She left the group unnoticed and went to her room in sorrow, while the others still boasted of how much they expected to get from Mr. Wood's will. The next day, the lawyer was shown into the house by Mrs. Wood. The will was to be read immediately after dinner. Almost everyone had left the house. Anna and Cecelia had gone out for reasons they wouldnit tell, and Roberta had gone shopping for dinner. Nan had not yet appeared. She had dinner in her room. She spent most of her time cry- ing. She was the only one in the whole crowd that really understood old Mr. Wood and his eccentric ways. Presently there came a knock at the door and a servant came in to tell her that they were waiting for her in the library. When she entered the library, they were all seated anxiously around the desk to hear the contents of the will. The lawyer went to the wall safe, and withdrew an iron box. I-Ie took from the box an envelope, which hadn't been opened since the time it was sealed. Opening it, he found a printed piece of paper, the only content of the box. The lawyer read the little message as follows: u In a body as dead as mine shall be The will is to be found, as you will see A little bundle of rags to find the above Belonging to a little girl, who is my Light and love. To the rest of the witnesses standing by All you'll get is my laugh at you as I die. Immediately a look of astonishment fell over the group. Then it turned to cold, bitter anger. They arose and went out of the room. The lawyer sat up very late that night trying to solve the riddle. Something suddenly came to him. He thought of Nan, who was Mr. Wood's favorite grand-daughter, and of her lit- tle rag doll, which she carried with her at all times. Then his memory ran over a phrase in the riddle: A little bundle of rags to find the above belonging to a little girl- that was it! I-Ie was sure! Immediately he or- dered a servant to go and retrieve the doll, which he cut open with his pocket knife. Among the rags and sawdust, he withdrew a little piece of paper printed on both sides. Sure enough! It was the will. After summoning the group together once more, he told them of the doll and how he found the will. Then he began to read it: I, Cyrus P. Wood, being in sound state of mind, bequeath my entire estate and fortune to my grand-daughter, Nan. Cyrus P. Wood In a storm of anger the group left the house cursing and yelling at one another. All but Nan, who sat in the big mahogany chair and cried more for sorrow than for joy. To think that she was the owner of such a wonderful estate. The first thing she would do would be to buy a new doll. Gloria Delano '49 Qljifn-DQ S R.:-1. Qs. as LH. KCO-Coptl M. STEWART w. BASSETT, JR. R. LE N. Monms T. R.G. C. LG. fCo-Cczptl L.T. GUSON R.

There are seven letter men expected to be back for the 1949 team and Coach Clement anticipates a good season, providing the hitting is up to par. 1949 Baseball is underway! Coach Clement has called the boys onto the field and the outlook is good. There are only two empty slots from the team of last year and the competition for those positions is very keen. At the present the boys have a team batting average of 298 which is good enough for any club. The club is working hard and the boys are pushing each other for any possible position, which should prove to be worth while. If the pitching and hitting departments come through Mr. Clement will be expecting a fine season. SQUAD Pitchers Andrews Currie R. LeBlanc Thebarge Catchers Reid Davis Infield MacDonald S.

They played nine games with the best record since 1945. The girls worked hard un- der the coaching of Don Clement. Coach Clement thinks of his girls as one big team. Everyone is treated equally. Each one did her share in helping to win the games. The regular team couldn't get along without the substitutes. Everyone is needed to make the games worth- while. Patricia Caouette deserves much credit. She did a fine job as manager. Credit, should also be given to Pauline Hilton, assistant manager. Madison High School didn't forget the girls. The girls did such a fine job that they were awarded basketballs and sweaters. Some of the girls will be leaving us in Iune, but they are leaving behind them several good players. Here's wishing them the best of luck! ,.,,, TIN ANNIVERSARY h Coach Clement Says: To the victors belong the spoils. The girls' undefeated basketball team, through solici- tations from the public and their remarkable hard-won record, have accomplished a deed worthy of fame and fortune. Royal blue coat sweaters trimmed in white, with a chenille em- blem and a gold basketball award, are gracing the youthful, streamlined figures. A most suc- cessful mother and daughter banquet was en- joyed, ending with the presentation of the awards, as proud and smiling mothers approved. Captain Bev Ouellette as forward could always be counted on with her accurate field and foul shots. Betty Clement at center forward was the de- pendable play maker and rebound artist. loyce MacDonald, a Sophomore, found the fast forward company of Ouellette and Clement to her liking and pleasure, thrilling the crowd with her over the head shots. Sophomore Ann Fernald's steady improve- ment and fighting spirit as forward, bolstered the team's reserve. Helen Chizmar's rugged, consistent stellar defensive play brought many an OI-ll i' from the fans. Suzanne Beaumont, the energetic center guard and rebounder delight, broke up many a play by snaring the ball as it was being passed. Kay Turcotte, another Sophomore, made a place for herself on the team by successfully guarding all skyscraping, high scoring forwards. Clair Henry's superb guarding and on the ball tactics spelled a hard night for any opposing forward. Our genial, ever smiling scorer and manager, Pat l' Caouette, though often late, performed on the bench mothering the girls at intermis- sion with orange halves. To the remaining members of the squad, Ianice Withee, Pauline Comeau, Beverly Belan- ger, Connie MacDonald, Lillian LeClair, Fran- ces Cooper, and Nome McGee, goes the distinc- tion and honor of pushing the first team to the heights of an undefeated season. Total defensive and offense was the theme- song of the Varsity. Definite pattern plays were adhered to with all the girls playing as a unit regardless of individual tendencies. The aggressiveness and determination to win was evident, backed by high morale and excellent conditions. Five of the squad members have played their last game for M. H. S., but l can truthfully tell you to put your hopes and trust for next year's sextette in the available material as it is worthy and well qualified to carry on the high tradition which has been accomplished so successfully and firmly through the tireless efforts and loyalty of the girls who have passed through the portals of the school. ln the past ten years Madison High School has had two undefeated girls' basketball teams. ln 1945 the girls' team, coached by Miss Muriel Beal, won eleven games. This year the girls' team, coached by Donald Clement, won nine games. Congratulations! Umlefeatetl Girls of '49 First row - Anne Fernaltl. Katherine Turcntte. Beverly Ouellette, Suzanne Beaunmnt.

You all were a grand group with which to work, and some of you had the abilities of the best. Your interest in the team's success, your drive at practice and team spirit made our Bulldog team what it was this season. Thank you, boys, for being the group you were, and above all for your dependability and loyalty to the blue and white of Madison. To My Team: This year you made a fine record for your- selves, winning thirteen games and losing five in regular season competition. From this showing again you bring to your team, your coaches, and school the dreams and longings of all basketeers. The manner in which you boys took your losses showed truly the spirit of sportsmanship. Remember, boys, to display this spirit always, and you will go far in life. I think this year's team, like the great foot- ball boys of '48 and girls' basketball team of '49, will long be remembered. To Co-Captain Normie Morris: Normie, you have enjoyed four great years wearing the blue and white on the gridiron, basketball court, and baseball diamond. Your championship play will long be remembered by teammates and coaches. In my endeavor to de- velop a winning combination you have played well all positions known in basketball. Once again proving to your teammates the great competitor you are. May I wish good luck to you, an exceptional player, and hope you gain your well-deserved college competitive athletic career. To Co-Captain Micky Mac Donald: Micky,', you have played a most difficult guard position with ease and style this year. Your defense on the boards, especially in the Old Town game, was great, your offensive To the floor play stands out most in my mind. readers of this article might I add that Micky also is a three sport performer. I-Ie is a coach's dream when performing at the initial sack. Good luck this spring in baseball. fEditor's Notetj They also tell me that Micky is quite the lady's man. Sincerely, Mick, my best wherever you might choose to hang your socks. To Paul Buckie Franklin: I am fond of nicknames and I like Buckie O. K., but I know a better name for this 6-2 basketball lover. Say, fellows, how about CORNS P Frankie, O-Man your driving-in delayed hookshots have been something to watch in many a game this season. Wish you were going to be around another season so I could have someone to blast I' every once in a while. Say, Frank, did you ever learn the hop- skip-and-jump that I was trying to teach last season? I want you to know, Corns, you were a great asset in a winning cause through- out the season and may I wish you the best of luck in your basketball exploits in the future. To Robert Bob Ellingwood: Now meet the man who carries the weight and is the best backboard man on the squad. Bob, for a number of reasons, I will never forget you. First, because you are a great kidg second, because two or three of my most costly basket- ball strategic errors were made when I chose to put you on the bench. Going into detail to explain would take too much space, but if you are interested, see me. I shall always remember the fine man-to-man defensive job you did on Morin in the Rumford game at Rumford. Bob, the very best to you in college! You have a big heart as well as a big body and are just as big a competitor. To Paul Currie: Big Paul or rather Key-hole Paul as he is sometimes better known among his bas- ketball colleagues has another year to roam the hard wood planks. I told my friend Deck at the beginning of the season that this boy was a natural. Deek asked me to explain and that I did. Paul will long be remembered 77S iTIN ANNIYER SAR h for his fine performance in the Rumfordghome game. So until another season, Paul, try and stretch that 6-3 frame to 6-6. To Keith Archbald Stanley: Keith, you are the best ball handler, dribbler, floor man and play-maker on the entire squad and need l say more. In the hearts of Madison fans, your brilliant game at Skowhegan will long be remembered. Keith, if I had a dream come true it would go something like this: I should like to see you have the opportunity to double team for one year with a guy named labar and I am not too sure but I think my hunch would be really right about you as a guard. Keith, I shall be looking forward to your return next year. To Gene Reid: Gene, the position of a sixth man on a basket- ball squad is tough for any all round talented athlete, and you were a very patient sport. Your brilliant game at Skowhegan will be long remembered along with the Fine front court play at Rumford. With the exception of one basketball year I believe Gene will be the next Madison boy since Morris to carry off four let- ters in three sports. Gene, you should have a great baseball season and here is wishing you plenty of good luck. See you next fall and winter! To Arthur Andy Andrews: Andy will be a two-year returning letter- man and I shall be looking forward to his pres- ence next season. Remember, Andy, to work on that ability of the Starbard side during the off season from now till next winter. Andy high-lighted his Sophomore year by copping the annual foul-shooting contest and then repre- sented the team and school at the sectional shoot-off held at Colby College. Andy is also a port-side Hinger during the spring pas- time season with the Bulldogs' baseball team. Good luck to your pitching this spring, Andy - See you next winter. To Donald Kelley: Don, your rapid improvement and determina- tion to become a fine, smooth basketball per- former Hnally came true at the tournament game played at Brewer. The substitution job turned in by you at this particular game was outstanding. You should have a grand year come next fall and winter in both football and basketball. See you next fall! To Gerald Cider Sidell: From manager to varsity your willingness to learn how to play the game and the fighting heart which you displayed so many times upon the gridiron will always be 'remembered by your teammates and coaches. Gerald, you have proved to me that the willingness to learn added to a touch of ability always pays off. Good luck to your athletic exploits next season. To Our Managers Robert Ehrlich and Edward Demchak: To Bob and Ed go my thousand thanks for a job well done. The team and I were disap- pointed that you had to miss the big game at Brewer because of illness, Bob. Ed, Mr. Ali- berti said you were a tremendous help to his squad, and he also thanks you for a difficult job. J. V.

VVith the help of their adviser, Miss NVhitehill, they presented stirring rallies for the student hody. Nights after school, they worked hard to learn new cheers lor the games and rallies.
