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 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.

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.

So we stand at the dawn of a day With the sunrise a glorious sight, The slcy is tinted with colors, I And the world loolcs cheerful and bright. But seel A cloud is approaching, Shall we let it darlcen our way? Shall we falter by the wayside? Or let it come to stay? Loolc for the silver lining, It will guide us safely by, For after every shower, 'lhere's a rainbow in the slcy. And at the end ofthe rainbow, ls a pot of gold, they say, We are starting out to find it On this Commencement Day. Be honest and steadfast and loyal, Upright and courageous and true, Be guided by your Alma Mater ln all that you try to do. If we fail to reach our rainbow, As the years roll swiftly by, We can ne'er forget the lessons, We have learned at lvl. C. l. Page Twenty-Seven
