Cliff may claim the title of being the smallest in the boy's dorm but, certainly not the quietest. lf there's any real action-iust look for Robie. Madelyn Small Pop Concert 3, Junior-Senior 3. Perhaps we might call you our lady of mystery. However, the response from the multitude will testify that as a classmate and friend you are unexcelled. E. Eunice Spaulding M. C. I. Board 2, 3, Girl Reserves 2, 3, 4, Class Secretary 1, Honor Roll 'l, 2, 3, 4, Class Marshall 1, Q, 3, 4, National Honor Society 4. Our class marches for the last time under Eunice's guidance.

Page Twenty-three CLASS DIQUDHECY Prologue: This scene which you are about to witness is taken from the daily life of two of the graduates of '37 who have, since their schooldays were completed, acquired some degree of fame in their chosen line of work-the newspaper business. As we look in on them we find them seated before a desk that is littered with items that are to be arranged and revised for the daily edition of the Boston Bugle. Clraracters: Franklin Zeb Raymond-editor of the staff Eleanor Lane-an assistant editor Scene: Office of the Boston Bugle Time: The year 1947. F. R.- Phew, iust look at the work that's piling up. E. L.- Well, T can't say that l am especially fond of work, but it certainly is heaps of fun to read all these items from Pittsfield, that have been pouring in lately. F. R.- That's right. There have been a lot of them since they discovered gold out back of M. C. l. E. l..- Say, Zeb, here's the funniest thing, listen-Wayne Fernald has opened a studio of music and his first vocal student, Clifford Robichaud, has acquired interna- tional fame singing that ever popular song, 'Where the Shy Little Violets Grow'. F. R.-- Speaking of music here's one-Theola Spinney and her iazz band was held over for another week at the 'Metropolitan' in Boston. It is said that the saxophone section of her orchestra, which is made up of two former M. C. l. students, Maxine Mann and Barbara Sullivan, is way ahead of Guy Lombardo's. The saxophone section broadcasts every Wednesday evening over station P. f-l. l. L. for the famous Lerette Home Made lces, lnc. ' E. L.- This one is about a graduate too-The new beauty salon recently established on Main Street will be managed by the competent Miss Ermine l-lathorn, who has become a licensed operator. Miss l-lathorn guarantees to put a beautiful Lancaster wave in the most obstinate locks. F. R.- FOR HEAVENS SAKE-Francis Young Talbot Tucci Laughton l-lolmes most recent divorce is at last final and she has already announced her intention of mar- riage to a famed baseball star! She's sure giving Wally Simpson a run-up. E. l..- Franny never was satisfied with one. . . . Look, a dispatch from Detroit. ' n n No not the one we used to know at M.,C. l. but the next size larger, Detroit, Michi- gan. lt says Henry Ford has recently suffered a serious nervous breakdown. It seems I Page Twenty-four that lately he has had several financial setbaclcs, due to serious competition in the automobile business. The promising young salesman, Arthur Hamilton, has sold so many new Chevrolets that it is feared the V-8 plants will soon close their doors. F. R.- Of all things-Clifford Stevens, head master of the boy's dormitory has iust expelled ten boys. The charge preferred is tallcing aloud during study hours. My, that old boy certainly has forgotten his prep school days. E. l..- Say, Zeb, you remember Phil Young don't you? F. R.- Sure, what does it say about him? E. L.- Philip Young is a name heard often in New Yorlc these days. He recently obtained his degree from Columbia University and almost overnight slcyroclceted to the position of star critic of all Broadway productions. Boy, just thinlc of that. F. R.- lt looks as if Winton Garland and Paul Houston are using the experience they got in the Senior play and their wavy hair to- good advantage for it says here that Winton iust signed up to talce the place of the retired ,John Barrymore in the B. ff. T. Libbey production, and would you believe it, Paul is to appear as the suc- cessor of Clarlc Gable. E. L.- What is the world? '?'?-Radio Discovers New Talent. ln their search for talent, radio scouts have found a young violin virtuoso. He has for years been in- terested in music and has always cherished his beloved instrument. His shy unassum- ing manner forces us to withohld his identity but we shall call him the new Rubinoff. That dispatch is from Pittsfield. They can't fool me. l lcnow that our talented virtuoso is none other than Billy Rubinof'f Hanson. F. R.- Oh, oh-Listen to this announcement.-Reid Hersey has opened a banlc in Pittsfield. It is sure to be an excellent place for students to save their spare change as Reid has had much experience along financial lines, being the treasurer of the class of '37. E. L.- Well for goodness salce. lnever thought that she, of all people, would go in for politics. Get a load of this. Miss Eunice Spaulding is doing some mighty heavy campaigning for road com- missioner this election. She states that if she obtains the position she will start im- mediately on repair worlc of the road running between Pittsfield and Hartland. As Miss Spaulding states the road is in a frightful condition and for people who are obliged to travel to Hartland as often as she, it gets monotonous riding on such a highway. A F. R.- What's this? lt says that Harold Varnum has retired from the slci contests that talce place in northern Switzerland. But here's an item that will interest you, Eleanor-He has talcen-what-Royal Grover's place as superintendent of grounds at M. C. ll E. L.- Oh a new dairy-lt says a new dairy has been established on the outslcirts Page-Twenty-five of town. lt's manager is to be none other than Vincent Goodell, that vivacious young Mr. who has delivered milk at our door since the day that he donned long trousers. His experience we know will make him a model dairyman. He is employing as his head milker, Clifford Doherty, who has twice won the state championship for rapid milking. F. R.-- That Andy Laughton is doing O. K for himself these days. This piece says that he is now Mayor of that thriving metropolis, Ripley, Maine. And say-here's the marriage announcement of Dan Longfellow and Marie. We've certainly waited a long time to hear this. E. L.- Well fancy that. Phyllis James, that famous authority on the price of butter and eggs, has recently taken the fatal step. We are going to guess that she will make that family budget balance even if prices do hit the top. F. R- for goodness sake. Howard Mitchell defeated George Parmenter for the wrestling champonship of the world. Since he left school he must have eaten a lot of wheatiesf' E. l..- Here's another member of '37 who has become well-known. Rachel Davis, the well-known torch singer of that famous night spot, the Rainbow Grill, has arrived in Palmyra to spend her vacation. She came by plane having as her pilot the notorious Charles Lindbergh Mitchell. They made a spectacular landing behind the Palmyra grange hall. The whole town turned out to welcome them Boy, iust think of having the whole town come to welcome you. F. R.- Yeah, all three people l suppose. Say l always knew Paul would go in for the ministry. Paul Hersey, Baptist Minister, of Canaan, performs wedding ceremony. The first was Margaret DeCourcy and Edwin Calder. The best man was Bruce Woodman who stayed iust long enough for the ceremony and then hurried back to his duties as road commissioner for the state of Maine. l can remember, can't you Eleanor, how Paul even convinced Miss Alley, the Bible teacher, back in '37 at M. C. l. that we were all first cousins to the monkey. E. L.- Of all the bright ideas this one takes the cake. The modern scientific world was baffled by the complicated mechanism of a spelling device exhibited here today in the new laboratory on Main Street by the brilliant young scientist, George Bryant. The machine is so made that one has only to concentrate on the word in question and presto-it appears on an electric plate. Not bad, but George should have had that inspiration before he graduated from school. He never could twist letters around to look iust right in Senior English. F. R.- Hmmm, another scientist-William Bradford former M. C. l. science expert, donates to the school a device he invented recently which automatically rings the bells there. E. L.- Listen, the Misses Arlene Walker and Alberta Hopkins have returned from New York where they have been employed as salesladies for 'Pep' by the Kellogg Page Twenty-six Co. Goodness they certainly had plenty of pep at school, but I never dreamed that they'd be boxing it up to sell. F. R.- l-la, ha-listen, Lionel Pomoroy has the honor of being the only member of his class to hold efficiently two positions. l'le is driving the hard taclc bread truck and smolcing cigars for the White Owl people at the same time. l'll bet he got his start smolcing cigars at the Senior play. E. L.- Why, Zeb, they've got a court now in Pittsfield. The newly established court in Pittsfield has been very busy these days. lt's latest verdict in the Broolcs- Gould vs. Holt case was favorable to both parties. The magnetic lady lawyer, Marion Hollis, proved very decisively that the name 'Ye Little Cousins Shoppe' given to the tea room owned by Verna and Reta Holt was no encrouchment on the copyrighted name 'Ye Little Cousins Shop' owned by Freda Gould and Thora Broolcs. Miss l-lollis stated that the names were in no way similar for the Holt cousins spell their shop with two 'p's' and an 'ef F. R.-- This clipping says, 'ln the world series between the Broolclyn Dodgers and the Yanlcies, we find two former M. C. l. teammates playing on rival teams. Louis Tucci is shortstop for the Dodgers and Jim Powers is second base for the Yanks. The Brooklyn Dodgers always were Tucci's weakness. E. L.- Well, lone Garcelon A. B. C. and Grace Huff E. F. G. have returned from Pennsylvania where they both have positions as instructors. l'm not surprised about lone but l'm sure that Grace never intended to be an old maid school teacher when she left school. F. R.- I guess that Aubrey has made quite a name for himself. Listen Aubrey, Vase was greeted at the Pittsfield depot by the boy's band and the entire population of the town on returning home from a successful season for the Detroit Tigers. E. L.-Salcesu alive, the prominent young authoress, Sarah johnson, has lust completed her latest novel entitled What to Do in Burnham. This boolc is receiving highest recommendation and in all probability will win the Pulitzer Prize. F. R.- It certainly is funny what some of those lcids have found to do. For instance this one, Wayne Garland is employed by the Bangor Street Light Department. l'lis iob is to change the bulbs in street lights when necessary. E. L.- We sure had a lot of smart members in our class, Zeb. Nladilene Bradford, a graduate of Westbroolc College, has accepted a position as medical secretary to the promising young physician, Dr. l-lalver Badger. Do you lcnow, l'll bet that a certain young blonde who used to be seen quite frequently with Madilene is one of the Dr's most loyal patients. F. R.- Ofall things, everyone in Pittsfield is dancing lately under the expert leader- ship of Miss Ada Estes who has started teaching the Ort . Ada should be very pro- ficient in this line for she has always danced with the finest. Page Twenty-seven Oh look, here's a cablegram.-Call for help. Miss Madelyn Small's tap dancing classes for the Zulus in Africa have grown to such great numbers that help must be sent immediately. Let's look through the want adds. E. L.- l-lere-Wanted: Positions as dancing instructors, Avis Randall and Rosie Giovannucci. There, that fixes that. F. R.- l've always wondered where Madelyn Small was spreading her charms. E. L.- Flash-The inside story of Miss Opal Maxim, radio reporter over Station G. A. B. of Pittsfield and chief competitor of Walter Winchell, has a second interest- a model farm in Dexter. ls there a farmer? Who knows? F. R.- This envelope's from Turkey, Eleanor. Look it has an official seal. Afghani- stan, Turkey. Why it's from the Sultan of Turkey. What! Cecil Othello Lancaster! lt's a request, listen: To the Right Hon. Franklin Zebaniah Raymond: Dear Sir: The Sultan of Turkey desires that you inform Miss Marion Gordon to take next plane for Afghanistan to become a member of the advisory counsel made up of beau- tiful womenf' Signed, The Sultan of Turkey E. L.- You know, Zeb, l'm not a bit surprised. l-le always was the center of a group of girls. l-le's living up to his traditions all right. Boy, he must be in seventh heaven now. F. R.- Squimox, Alaska. Great discovery. Prof: George Webber of Harvard University has lust completed an instrument which when attached to the lobe of the right ear enables one to parlez-vous fluently. E. L.- What a help that would have been to us poor mortals in Mrs. Sherman's classes. , F. R.- Say, l wonder what time it is. Must be way past lunch time for l'm starved. E. L.- Me too. We'll finish these after lunch. Come on. Page Twenty-eight CLASS DDEM Here at the cross-roads we've come at last, Our worlc is ended, our dream is past. Fields before us unconquered lie, We'll attaclc them with vigor, not with a sigh. A million tomorrows for one yesterday, That is the price we gladly would pay To be entering again these halls so dear Filled with glad mem'ries, never a fear. Lessons and friendships have brought us much, Those are treasures no man can touch. Thus, with heads held erect and high, We pledge our hearts to M. C. l. Seelc the high road, that is our goal, Through success and failure as future years roll. As we climb the steep trails on each life's highway, May courage and honor guide us each day. Farewell, Alma Mater, we'll remain true To the ideals you have taught us, to the friends that we lcnew, And now we glance baclcward, at farewell we sigh, An interlude endecl-Alma Mater, goodbye.

I am about to broadcast the events of the last home game to be played this season, but while we are waiting for the players to come out onto the floor let's find out what some of the sponsors of this remarkable school spirit here at Nl. C. I. have to say. First, it is very fitting that we hear a few words from Coach Sinclair. Step right up to the microphone, please, Mr. Sinclair. Now tell us,-iust what is your reaction to all this splendid display of enthu- siasm this season? Mr. Sinclair:- School spirit is something more than attending an athletic contest and cheering for the home team. Too many of us feel that it is that and only that. To my mindit is a feeling of respect and loyalty to everything and everyone connected with the school. It is true that everything about a school may not be perfect but those imperfections should not call for scorn and criticism. A school will have a fine spirit when the students and faculty have reverence and respect for the finer traditions upon which the school was founded, when they worlc in harmony to preserve these traditions and build new ones. A student body should realize that it is an integral part of the school and that the spirit of tomorrow is being built today. Page Thirty-eight Fine, and thanks very much. Now, suppose we call on the little lady down there in the front row. Miss Alma Ellingwood, would you please come up here for a moment? Miss Ellingwood, you have been one of our peppy cheer leaders this year and should be well versed on the subiect of school spirit. What have you to say in behalf of our fellow 'Freshies'. Miss Ellingwood:- Of course l am only a Freshman and don't know what the school spirit was like last year, but this year l think it has been great. lt has made me feel that l am mighty lucky to be a part of M. C. l. and l know that my classmates feel the same. Our first rally nearly swept me off my feet. I never knew how much the enthusiasm shown by a student body could do toward making a newcomer feel at home. lt really was something new to me to see a group so thoroughly aroused and proud of their team as were the students at M. C. l. This was further shown to me when our basketball team was selected to ploy at the University of Maine tournament. l don't believe l shall ever be more proud of my school than l was the night our boys played their first game at the tournament and were cheered on by some three hundred followers of M. C. l. In my mind the school spirit has been won- derful this year and l hope the years to come will be the same. That's O. K. Now, we have time for lust one more interview. l am sure that Athalie Moore, another of this season's cheer leaders, will have something of in- terest to say. A little closer to the mike, please. Tell me, Athalie, have we got school spirit enough to suit such a peppy, ambitious young Miss as you? Athalie Moore:- l think we certainly have school spirit at M. C. l. The night of the tournament at Orono gave proof of this. The fact that so many went shows that we were interested, and the cheering after we got there showed our grand spirit. One reporter wrote that our team was encouraged by its frantic rooters, who were tearing off the roof with their cheers. A graduate of M. C. l. was heard to say, 'Why did they have to wait until after l graduated before they got such spirit'?' This is by no means the only way school spirit is and can be shown at M. C. I. Thanks, Miss Moore, Oh! Ohl l see the referee emerging from the sidelines, so now I'II turn the mike over to our cheering squad. Listen to those rootersl Have we got spirit? Page Thirty-nine P009 forty JDKES -AND THE WISE OLD OWL SAID NOTHING- The following conversation is typical of that which any listener might hear if he sat in Powers' l-lall where Mr. l.ouder's voice may be heard with his conver- sation mingled with that ol Miss Reynolds' class across the Hall. Miss Reynolds: Did Macbeth have a strong or a wealc character, Mr. Tucci? Tucci: Well, in the first place, l mean, in the First part ofthe ploy, Macbeth was- Mr. Louder: -an ordinary earth worm. We Find they have- Tucci: -a high position in the lcing's army and no trouble- Mr. Louder: H-at the baclc ol the bool4, but when l toolc Biology they taught us to be-H Tucci: H-witches dancing around a-H Mr. Louder: U-class as dumb as this one. Now, turn to page two hundred and two two, two hundred and two,-on page two hundred and two we Find the chapter on cattle. Buclcley, you're-H Tucci: -one of the murdurers who lcilled- Mr. Louder: -a cow in the pasture while- Tucci: H--Lady Macbeth wiped the blood from her-H Mr. Louder: -teeth in the lower law. Miss Reynolds: All right, Mr. Tucci, Miss Mann, continue- Mr. Louder: -being a four-Footed animal with two horns-' Maxine: H-in Macbeth's seat. Mr. Louder: Gould, you- Maxine: -ghost of Banquo-H Mr. Louder: H-tell us about the organs of a frog- Maxine: H-lilce Shakespeare. At the end ol- Gould: -the vertabrae is a-H Maxine: -battle between Macbeth and his- Gould: -mass of ielly-like eggs. That's all that l remember. The Farther this goes, the worse it gets, I'II have to toss a coin. If it's heads, Macbeth had a wealc character and vice versa. PS. Gotta coin? Barb. Peasley: HYou've brolcen the promise you made me, Pat. Towle: Don't cry, l'Il make you another. Louder in Chemistry class: What is an oxide? Bradford: An ox hide is the thing that covers an ox and holds him together. Page Forty-two M. C. I.

Tramp: l am, madam, but once l got six months for taking it without asking. A Senior's Point of View The Freshies look as dumb as dumb, 'l'hey're cute as little mice. Of brains they did not catch a crumb, Of knowledge, not a slice. The Soltheads think they know it all, And nearly always show it. We think they've got an awful gall, Sometimes we can't quite go it. The Juniors seem more knowing ln a peculiar sort of way. It shows that they are growing, They'll get there too some day. The Seniors shine above them all ln manners, brains, and knowledge, But soon they're due to take a fall, They're naught but Frosh at college. Pomroy: She is a rarely beautiful girl. Wayne F.: Very rarely. Bill M.: What makes you so hoarse, Dan? Dan L.: l've been talking through a screen door and strained my voice. Page Forty-Five Strange Delusions Vonce hupon a time dere vas a young maiden who lulled to go strolling in de woods.

Mr. Sinclair in Geometry class: Define cubicf, Martin: Cubic is the language spoken by the people in Cuba. Max: There was a terrible storm last night, Miss Reynolds. Miss Reynolds: Why didn't you wake me up then? You know l can't sleep during a storm. -r Miss Morse to Class: I shall now illustrate what l have in mind, as she pro- ceeded to erase the blackboard. Mac: Are you the man who cut my hair last time? Barber: I don't know, l've only been here six months. Miss Alley: What does the parable of the Prodigal Son teach us? Wayne G.: Not to be latted calves. Page Forty-six Resolved: Thatulhellyn Lancaster should shore his ability to look more intelligent in the classroom with some other members of the Senior class. That the amount of hash consumed by Dippy Bradford during the school year should have been fed to the American Army throughout the World War. That Phil Young should keep all heavy literature under lock and key. That Paul Houston should be a substitute for the Webster's Dictionary. That Sally Johnson should have a tonic for her voice, That dorm students should have study hours at their own convenience. That Fanny Sidelinger should be prohibited from annoying Theola Spinney. That sleepers should be provided in the school bus for the benefit of the M. C. l. students. That Peggy Decourcy, Edwin Calder, Maxine Mann and Phil Lerette should be allowed to satisfy their hunger, although it does take three hoursl That there be printed a directory of the portraits adorning the walls of Powers' l-lall. That students always be given the morning off to find information in the library when it is needed for the next day's Bible lesson. That the girls' dormitory beds be supplied with soft mattresses. That smell-proof walls be installed in Mr. l.ouder's chemistry lab. Towle: What shall we do? Dippy: l'll toss a coin. It it's heads, we'll go to a dance, if it's tails, we'll go to the movies, and if it stays in the air, we'll study. Mr. Louder: Verna, what does I-INO3 signify? Verna H.: Well, er, ah-l've got it on the tip of my tongue. Mr. Louder: Well, you'd better spit it out-it's nitric acid. President of Club: Orderl Order! Zeb : Two hamburgers well done, some buckwheat cakes, a cup of coffee and two doughnuts. Virginia Hamlin: Now in my state we can grow a tree like that in a year. How old is that one? Ralph G.: l don't know but it wasn't there yesterday. Laughton in Lancey House: What, only a nickel tip? Say, the champion tight- wad in this town gives me a dime.
