Seel Your dress is on backwards, and look at all those ribbons and braids in your hair. You certainly had on some stylish shoes, those lumberman's rubbers, size nine, iust fit your feet, didn't they? Mrs. T.: l-lenryln Henry: Oh, l'm sorry, dear, but look where your books are, guess that's where your brain mechanism has been ever since--in a box behind, and you howling your knowl- edge along by a string. l-lel l-le! Mrs. T.: You ungrateful thingl But please, let's not argue. Look at these pictures of our school days, see, there's Ruth -lrickey dressed like a baby and in a baby carriage pushed by Laurice Gould. Bet if that noted opera singer could see that picture now, she'd lose her voice. We Freshmen certainly had a painful day of it with those Sophomores standing over us. Henry: l-lere's a picture of our Class Adviser, Miss l'lewett, her name was. Do you remember how we used to get her rattled? 3 l.et's see-here are some names and titles: Roland Reilly, President, Eunice Fletcher, Vice-President, Marion Rudman, Secretary, Laurice Gould, Treasurer. Well, I'II be blessed, if they weren't our Class Qfficers. They, with the help of Miss Hewett, certainly did a fine iob guiding us through our Freshman Year. Mrs. T.: Why here, l-lenry, it tells about Freshman Prize Speaking, it says it was held March Qnd and the winners were Conny Griffin and John Daily getting the first prizes, and Ruth Trickey and Laurice Gould getting the second. Page Twenty-Two Henry: l'lere's a brief summary of Freshman Play Day, we were the ones to feel superior that day because we were entertaining the Freshmen to come the next year. Well, that's the end, let's see what we did the second year? Mrs. T.: Heres the 1934 Trumpet right on top. We surely felt somewhat more dignified as we walked up the campus then, didn't we? Such a revenge we had on those poor Freshies. If l remember right, they got what was coming to them. Says here we were under the control of Blake Smith, as President, he was that big fellow, Gertrude Mann, as Vice-President,she's the one who always declared she'd live in Norway as soon as she Finished school, Roger Parenteau, as Treasurer- the one who owns that big telephone plant in West Palmyra, and Eunice Fletcher, as Secretary,-l haven't the slightest idea as to what Eunice can be doing-you know she never used to talk very much. Oh, it all comes back to me so plain. Remember how we helped to plan For the Pop Concert that Mrs. Cook and her orchestra always gave every year? We sure made some money on that and the Glee Club got quite a bit of praise for their musical number. Why look, Conny Grilzfen and John Daily got First prizes again and Ruth Trickey and Laurice Gould, second, at Sophomore Prize Speaking-we guess they were born orators. Henry: Yes, l think they were too, it was no stroke of luck For them-oratory cer- tainly was in their line. CReadingD May 'I5, 1934, Sophomore Dance held in Powers Hall. A Fine time was enioyed by all. Now, l get it, that was the time when we each invited a partner and Went to the dance. Do you remember how grand Powers Hall looked that night? Mrs. T.: Yes, we certainly did have a grand time and to think that it was our last dance for the year. School was nearly over, but then, we had the consolation of knowing we'd be coming back under the term upper classmenn-we sure Felt big. flhey look for the 1935 Trumpet and upon Finding it-D Mrs. T.: Oh, here we are back again, and Juniors! l-lere's a picture of our new Class Adviser, Miss Morse. Guess Miss l-lewett got rather peeved at us as a whole and so she iust left. Miss Morse settled us right down to business the First thing, didn't she? l.et's see, we have President, John Daily, Vice-President, Marjorie McCully, Secretary, Vivian Gray, and Treasurer, Paul l'-lerseyf' Henry: l-low excited we got over our new class rings-we had the regular school ring this year, didn't we? Cl.ooking at hisD Mine has worn pretty well-no Flaws in it yet. The Sophomores and Freshmen were allowed to get theirs this year too, we never had that opportunity. Page Twenty-Three Mrs. T.: Right you are, l-lenry, we did have to wait until our Junior year even though we did get rather impatient. Do you remember that new curtain they had in Powers Hall? Each class dedicated a certain amount of money to purchase it, didnft they? l thinlc our class gave seventy five dollars toward it. My, but what an improvement it made, and it was really very beautiful. Henry: Yeah, l guess Mr. Purinton wasnft the chief center of attraction the first morning after that curtain was put up, for we were all gazing with awe-striclcen surprise at the improvement and beauty of it. Mrs. T.: l.et's see. CShe turns the pages of the Trumpet and then stops suddenly and readsD November 9th, juniors and Seniors give a musical comedy, The Gypsy Rover. Oh, l-'lenryl Didn't we have iust the most fun preparing and giving that comedy, and it went off marvelously. My, but l really believed l was a gypsy. Henry: Didn't you slcip over a date-it says, November 8th, the faculty and classes had the pleasure of hearing Governor Brann spealc in chapel. It sure set us on the map to thinlc that he could spare time enough to tallc to us. Mrs. T.: Yes, and wasn't he a perfect gentleman? We thought Mrs. l-labenicht dropped her hanlcy on purpose iust so the Governor would piclc it up, and most courteously, he did. l guess our funds were getting low at this time because they have it dated, that on March 'lst, we gave a card party. And ohl we forgot how we gave that Junior and Senior Prom. After we got that hall decorated, it loolced iust grand, didn't it? Well, l suppose John Daily and Marian Leclcemby were pretty pleased when they received the prize for Manson-guess that was our last appearance as Juniors- didn't time fly quickly? Henry: Theres our Senior Trumpet over there. fl'le goes over and piclcs it upj, 1936. My but isn't it good loolcing, even now, and if l do say so? Mrs. T.: ul-lere, give it to me. CShe opens the covers and gazes upon the pictures, ln Memorianj. Amid all our ioys, Glenna Badger and Carl Maxim, we have not forgotten you. They never quite leave us, our friends who have passed Through the shadows of death to the sunlight above, A thousand sweet memories are holding these fast To the places they blest with their presence and love. Well, lust loolcl here's our Class Officers' and our Advisers' pictures right at the beginning, let's see if we can call them by name without having to read them. Our President, there he is John Daily, Vice-President, Conny Griffen, l couldn't forget Page Twenty-Four her for she was a great little athlete, Secretary, ihat must be she-now what is her name. Henry: Betty Tracy, of course. Mrs. T.: Yes, l might have known you could tell me her name, and our Treasurer, Roger Parenteau. Seeing all these pictures reminds me of the time we had ours taken-but weren't we excited? We girls donned in our best garments and you boys in your suits, we thought we were pretty smart-looking as we posed before the camera. Cute little writings under those pictures, aren't there? Henry: Yeah! Did you read that one about Jack Vail? CThey read it and then laugh, singing, GH Along Little Doggies, Git Alongnj. Well l'll be doggoned-here's a picture of the Trumpet Board, there's Ruth Trickey, Editor-in-Chief, Dot Phillips and Mariorie McCully, Assistant Editors, Roland Rielly, Business Manager, Vivian Gray and Frances Maynard, Commencement Sec- tion, Phil Lerette, Jokes, Margaret Mclnnis, Athletics, and Marian Leckemby, Art Editor. Clalking to the picturej By ,love, we've got to hand it to you folks-you did one fine iobf' Mrs. T.: Oh look! here's a picture of Mr. Sinclair's football team, he certainly had a right to be proud of those boys. l can see Chiros now, with that ball under his arm running forthe goal line. Why! our Senior Play cast is pictured her. What a fine iob they did in presenting The Arrival of Kitty. Miss de Reynolds must have had some strange magic to change Phil Lerette, that football man, into such a perfect leading lady. Well, well, what's this about John Daily. It says he won second place at the Maine Speaking Contest in the finals and won a prize down at Colby College, he certainly represented M. C. l. well, didn't he? But he's made something of himself. Henry: Yeahl And that Smith boy, Blake, l believe his name was-didn't he go as a one-man team to New Hampshire to compete with other track men. l know he did, and he alone was responsible for M. C. l.'s placing fourth in that track meet. Say, Annie, do you remember we had a fair called-let me see-Junsenfa, and Eugenia Goodrich won the one-dollar prize for choosing the best name? Mrs. T.: Yes, l guess l do remember it-I sat behind the ice cream booth and for once, I had all the ice cream l wanted. We had lots of booths, didn't we? Hot dogs, candy, toys, art, embroidery and oh yes-a grab bag well. All in all, it was pretty good. Henry: Right you are, Annie. Say, l'll bet you wished you had gone on that trip to Washington-they said Miss Alley got awful seasick and if it hadn't been for Miss Dickson, she might have been so desperate as to iump into the ocean-iust to end her misery. l guess she was Page Twenty-Five glad she didn't though, because they were all exclaiming what a perfectly lovely trip they had. Mrs. T.: My, but iust look at the picture of that gym, Well, l lenry, our dreams came true when we were allowed to play baslcetball in there. It was George M. Parlcs, who made it possible for us to have that gym, and we held the Junior-Senior Prom in there too, my, but wasn't it wonderful, it loolced pretty Fine decorated in colors of orchid, green, and yellow. The attendance was quite large too. Everyone looleed his best. And to thinlc that now we're old and gray-oh me. Henry: Well, Annie, we're coming to the end of our school careers at M. C. l. Do you remember how proud we felt to be the First class to have our graduation exercises in the new parlc's gymnasium? Mrs. T.: Yes, l certainly do. l-low much we enioyed ourselves those four years is unexpressible. l wish l were right baclc there-now-but instead-here l-here we are.

EIIQIJS GLEE CLUB The Girls' Glee Club composed of eighteen members made its initial appearance at the Pop Concert. Although the Glee Club has not been an active organization, the members have sung a few times on different programs. Page Thirty-Seven THE WASHINGTDN TIQIID Ever since last November a group of sixteen M. C. l. students and two chaperons, Miss Alley and Miss Dickson, have been thinking about, planning, and working for a trip to Washington and New York. When the lucky day, friday, April tenth, finally arrived, we boarded the morning train for Boston. Arriving in Boston at two o'clock, we went on a sight-seeing tour which included the Bunker Hill Monument, Paul Revere's home, and the ship, Old lronsidesf' These places of interest caused us to catch a little of the spirit that must have animated those hardy ancestors of Revolutionary fame who did so much in the forming and moulding of our country. Our next stop was in Philadelphia, a city that we always associate with the name of Beniamin Franklin. Here we sow the old Liberty Bell that played such an important role in our early history. Too, we had the privilege of seeing the old flag-maker's home-that of Betsey Ross. Last but not least, we saw the United States Mint. Who of us will ever forget that glorious Sunday in Washington? Washington with all her beautiful cherry blossoms! Many of us saw for the first time the Grave of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington, we visited the home of that great-hearted Confederate general, Robert E. Lee, and then, with somewhat a feeling ofveneration, we entered the less pretentious home of our first great American-George Wash- ington. But quickly our mood was changed, for we now visited Annapolis where we heard the tramp of marching feet and saw the martial array. We visited the Lincoln Memorial, the Capitol, the White House, the Congressional Library, the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, the Smithsonian Institute, the Museum of Natural History, the Ran-American Building and the Washington Monument. The magnifi- cence and splendor of the buildings so awed us that like Alice of Old, we felt almost as if we were in another world. Of course we were sorry to say good-bye to Washington, but New York, gay and exciting, loomed ahead of us. Here we fell in love with Radio City, and were thrilled by the bright lights of Broadway and Times Square. Among the interesting places we visited were the Art Museum, the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Cen- ter, Grant's Tomb, Macey's-and Wanamaker's department stores. Then last came the tour of the Bowery and Harlem. Harlem, as you know, is the section of broad streets and low buildings where the colored people live. But all vacations must end, so on Friday night we left New York by boat for Bos- ton. We arrived in Pittsfield about four o'clock. What a wonderful trip it had been! When winter snows blow, and icy winds come down from the north land, we shall think many times of that Easter Sunday, fragrant with its many blossoms, that we spent in Washington.
