A V ah Cobb .X , L F. 5 '.:,.'1L lElDI'll'0RllAlLS THIS RANKING BUSINESS Nearly every student has his own idea on the subject of rank, some of these ideas are rather odd. Too few students try to make the Honor Roll. They think, after all, you get your name puton a piece of paper and that's all there is to it. They're wrong. There's a lot more to it, being an hon- or student counts with a teacher when he wishes to entrust a student with some work, colleges and prep schools want honor students rather than C students, an honor student has a love- ly sense of satisfaction and needn't worry when exams come, an honor student feels free to enter more school activities. Some few even think getting on the Honor Roll is proving yourself a sis- sy. It isn't. It's proving you have brains and ability. It's a sad thing to see a girl or boy in an effort to prove to a small group of his fellow students that he is too worldly-wise to care about ranks and honor rolls, bring a first-rate ability and mentality down to the awful lev- el of mediocrity. Then, too many are content with getting by. They are lazy, indiffer- ent. They don't realize they must pre- pare for the future now. Others take five years to do four years of High School work. They waste one of the best years of their lives. How can we wake them up? Should we relax the Honor Roll standard? No! But we could make the prospect more alluring by giving spec- ial privileges to A students, giving cer- tificates for rank, or perhaps by form- ing an Honor Roll club to make the Honor Roll a school activity. Students could be graduated with distinction , or have it listed after their names as any other school activity in the Pine Needles. A special assembly could be held to present honor students with certificates as is done to present ath- letic certificates. At any rate, some- thing surely could be done! Students, how do you suppose Abe Lincoln became a great man if not by study? Washington? Look about youg what were the high school records of the successful men and women-doc- tors, lawyers, bridge builders, college presidents If they were not honor students, rest assured they were more than willing to work and to aim, at least, at honor rank. iWhy don't we wake up- -M. A,- MRS. BROWN This school and community were shocked by the untimely passing of Mrs. Glenroy Brown in January. Her life was one filled with activity for the well being of her home town. An accomplished musician, she spec- ialized with the violin, and many stu- dents and young people of the town were her pupils. In addition to her pri- vate classes, she found time to organ- ize and direct student orchestras which proved a very important part of the affairs of student life. She was al- so the leader of the high-school Glee Club. Her work was widely recognized and the students which she led ranged from the lowest classes to the high school. ., .A Wg. ' , v xafp, MATTANAWCOOK ACADEMY 7 At the beginning of the present school year, she became supervisor of music in the public schools of the town, she had to relinquish these du- ties when taken ill two months before her death. Of a most pleasing person- ality, she always found her pupils will- ing to cooperate, and they readily learned under her leadership. Held with highest esteem by her home town and by all other sec- tions where she was known, her pass- ing was and is a great loss not only to Mattanawcook Academy but to the whole community. ---M. A.- GIFTS TO THE SCHOOL. One of the finer traditions at Matta- nawcook-which the class of 1938 hopes to keep alive-is that of the leaving of a gift to the school by each graduating class. This year will mark the fifth one since the new academy was founded. The gift always has two objectives: to provide Mattanawcook with some- thing it needs, and to keep alive the memory of the class which donated it. The following is a list of gifts up to the present time: Class of 1934, A plaque in appreciation of Charles H. Cobb: Class of 1935, A plaque in ap- preciation of Dr. George Averill, Class of 1936, The flag and standard, Class of 1937, The Wicker set which is in the office and which is used for dra- matic productions. 1-M. A.- TO THE FRESHMEN We seniors wish ourselves back as freshmen. We wouldn't wait until we were seniors to start to get enough money to go to Washington, D. C. We would begin the first Week of our freshmen year. For this great mistake that we made we can blame no one but ourselves, because our teachers took time to explain to us that we should start to plan for the trip four years before we could go. Four years to you may seem like a very long time, that's what we thought too, but now we know. If we seniors could go back to the year 1934 when we entered Matta- nawcook Academy, we should start having social functions to bring up the amount of the senior-fund. The dan- ces, socials, and other activities would have been fun too, and our class would be a closer-knit group because of these good times. 5 How would you freshmen today like to go to Washington? Would the cherry-trees, the gardens, the capitol, the museums, the beautiful buildings, the law-makers in action, and the President interest you ? When we were in your place we didn't think how much we would enjoy it, but today We want intensely to see those things, to learn something about the outside world. Oh! How we should like to have something really exciting to look for- ward to after our four years of hard study. If there had been as much en- thusiasm four years ago as there was in our class meeting last night when we mentioned going to Washington, all the members of our class would still be with us instead of having left school for some foolish reason. If the class of 1941 would dream they were living four years ahead, I'm positive they would start raising mon- ey to have a senior trip. This is a time to profit by our ex- periences-to do as we say and not as we do. -Jessie Kilbride '38 ',f, 1,52 .-'T 3 PINE NEEDLES WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT M. A.?

A.- THE FACULTY 'There has been one change in the faculty this year. Miss Letitia Smith, a graduate of the Maine School of Commerce, who teaches commercial subjects and coaches girls' basketball, has replaced Miss Gladys Clements, who is now married to Mr. Carleton Holmes. Mr. Earl McGraw, a graduate of the University of Maine, who has re- ceived his Masters Degree from Bates, is our Principal and also teaches Ge- ometry. Miss Zelda MacKenzie, a graduate of the University of Maine, teaches Junior and Senior English and World History. She also is the adviser for the Pine Needles board and during the first half of the year was adviser for the Tatler board. Miss Helen McKenney, a Smith Col- lege graduate, teaches Sophomore English, Occupations, and Freshman Civics. During the last half of the year she is adviser for the Tatler board. Miss Harriet Pease, a Colby College graduate, teaches French and Latin and is the Dramatics coach for Senior Play, One Act Play and the boys in the Prize Speaking Contest. Freshman English, A Commercial Geography and Junior Business Train- ing are taught by Miss Amy Adams, who is a graduate of the University of Maine and has also received her Mas- ters Degree from Maine. Mr. John Adams, a University of Maine graduate, teaches Chemistry, General Science, and Biology. He is also the senior class adviser. Mr. Theodore Nutting, University of Maine graduate, is the coach of Base- ball and Football and teaches Mathe- matics. Mr. Carleton Holmes, a Colby Col- lege graduate, teaches Civics, Ameri- can History, and Economics. He also coaches boys Basketball and Track. Owing to the death of our music supervisor, Mrs. Glenroy Brown, Miss Ruth James has taken her place dur- ing the last half of the year. Miss James has studied at Lasalle College. --M. Ai SCHOOL SPIRIT AT M. A. A few years ago, the cry was for a new gymnasium, with the plea that we would be able to do more in ath- letics, thus inspiring more school spirit. Our wish was granted and we have the gymnasium and a new school building, too. True, we have built up some prize- winning teams, but what about school spirit? There is a lack of it around school. Now that we have a new ath- , Il W ga, F25 f fus- mr MATTANAWCOOK ACADEMY 9 letic field and tennis courts, other sports will be started. Let's hope for more school spirit and interest. There were other things we desired as well, a new library, a commercial course, and, this year, a motion pic- ture machinepfor the purpose of giv- ing the students a greater diversity in courses and more recreational oppor- tunities. We now have all three of these, and, indeed, it may be said that these have helped raise the standard of the school. Today, the cry is for new courses in Home Economics, Manual Training, and Physical Culture. However, to obtain these desired things shouldn't we show more ap- preciation for those things which have already been given us? If those who have helped us get these things feel that we really do want the things we ask for and will appreciate them to the fullest extent, they will know they are really doing good by granting our wishes. So let's take advantage of our li- brary, our tennis courts, our gymna- sium, and all our other improvements, and show more appreciation for these things, as well as more school spirit. -M. A.- OUR NEW MOVING PICTURE MACHINE This year we have been able to pur- chase, with our magazine fund money, a generous check from our good friend Dr. Averill and a good-sized donation from the Cobb Fund, a new Victor Moving Picture Machine. By the use of the machine, which is like those that are being used in many schools, the teacher can bring to the student, problems and explanations which he might never otherwise be able to demonstrate. Not only have we taken steps to- ward visual education, the new trend in learning, but we have also provided ourselves with an excellent victrola with all sorts of attachments for dance music at school parties. Moving pictures will be shown fre- quently as entertainments as well as supplementary class work. -M. A.- HISTORY OF THE PINE NEEDLES In the fall of 1906, a group of stu- dents organized a school magazine. A vote was taken, and it was decided that the magazine should be called The Pine Needles. This magazine, which was to be published twice a year, had as its first Editorial Board the following: Editor in Chief Emily MacGregor Associate Editors Rolland Mills J. Walter Wells Minnie MacDougal Bessie M. Wyman Business Manager Isaac Gordan Asst. Business Mgrs. Harry B. Stevens Robert P. Clark The price of this magazine was ten cents. There were two magazines printed in that year, but another one was not printed until 1911. In this copy, there is a plea for a new high school: you see that the students of Mattanaw- cook Academy waited several years for their new building. The next number, which was not printed until 1916, was a memorial number. Three of the students of Mat- tanawcook Academy had met acci- dental death during that year. There is also an article in this magazine ex- 10 PINE NEEDLES pressing the desire for a new gymna- sium. In 1917 a commencement number was printed in which we find an ac- count of the several boys who had left school to enlist in the army to fight in the World War. These students re- ceived full credit for the year's work. Since we have not been able to find a Pine Needles between 1917and 1925, we assume that no Pine Needles were printed between those dates. In the 1925 issue the students express their gratitude for the new Lincoln Memo- rial Library. Pine Needles have been printed in 1927, 1931, 1932, and 1934 to 1937 inclusive. We hope that the idea of a school magazine has now been firmly enough established so that it will be a regular publication from now on. There has been no file kept of the Pine Needles, and we should appreci- ate very much the donation of a set of these magazines. We feel that our school magazines are a vital part of the history of our school. Now that we have every facility for keeping them, we feel that that we should make a special effort toward getting together a complete file-which can be added to each year-of Pine Needles from 1906 to the present. -H. Moody, '38 -M. A.-- WHY DO WE DO IT? Here is a mystery-one to which I shall probably never find a solution. Why do we do it? Why do we work and slave, face fatigue and hardships, just to get a few miles away from ra- dios, electric lights, and automobiles? Why is it that many of us look for- ward to hiking over nine or ten miles of rough, jarring trail with fifty pound packs on our aching backs? Is it be- cause we have became addicted to the drug of Nature's out-of-doors? Why don't we prefer sitting cozily in the family circle, watching the lat- est movies, or playing about with a group of friends, to making a cold, dry camp, twenty miles back from no- where? Doesn't it seem more likely that we should prefer a soft, warm, comforta- ble bed at home to a couple of blan- kets, spread on a heap of spruce boughs? Why doesn't one notice a piece of charcoal or a few grains of sand in the soup when seated by a wilder- ness campfireg we know very well that he would approach apoplexy if such a thing occurred at home. Doesn't it seem strange that one will work at the camp wood-pile un- til his back screams in protest? But when mother asks him to fill the wood- box, he is suddenly afflicted with sun- dry aches and pains before he takes a step? Why is it that when one stumbles back from an excessively tiring trip in the wilds, he swears never to do it again, and goes wearily to bed, and two days later he is enthusiastically planning a similar trip? Therein lies my mystery, will someone please ex- plain? -C. Wakefield, '38 --M. A.- VVANTED: A NEW SCHOOL SONG Students, we need a new school song! Not only is ours old and worn out, but many other schools have the same one. The words and music were- n't original in the first place, do we MATTANAWCOOK ACADEMY ll want M. A. to be a mere copy cat? Other schools have either tune or words similar. We want to be original. How shall we obtain a new school song? By writing a new one. A prize of three dollars is offered to the stu- dent who brings in the best song. The music doesn't have to be original, but it must not be too familiar. The tune should be stirring, martial, peppy. The Words should be original, some- thing new but suitable, with allusions to familiar things. Come on, students! Not only will you be covered with glory, but you will receive a monetary reward. Get busy! Q Q WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT M. A.? Answers 1. First and twenty-fifth. ' 2. Mattanawcook Academy in 1857. 3. Dr. Adams' mother, who used to teach here. 4. Mr. Charles Cobb. 5.

There he found his gang-Red, Butch, and Boob-wait- ing for him. Give the password,', hissed Spike into the gloom. Blood! answered the boys in hoarse whispers. VVhatcha got lined up for to- night? asked Red. W'e're gonna have a big haul, be- lieve you me, guys, whispered Spike, who was the leader of the gang. Say, where in 'ell is dat Spider? Aw, he hadda do some tings for his old man. He's pixilated again, said Boob, disgustedly. Jeeze, we need him, meditated the Chief , but skip it, we'll leave him outta dis. Listen, gang-l- and the boys, who were trying to live lives of crime and terror, put their heads together in that filthy old base- ment to plan another misdemeanor. I . I5 E F-1 That evening as soon as it was dark, Spike's gang met in the old basement. Spike gave them their orders, and the boys stole out one-by-one, and pussy- footed away in the cool fall darkness. Not far from the old tenement where the boys had their head quarters was another old tenement. In a tiny bare room which was beneath street level lived an old man, too ill to rise from his rickety bed, and his little grand- daughter, Nina, aged ten. Nina was sitting on an over-turned box by her grand-father's bed trying to mend her unmendable old coat which was her only outdoor clothing, when she heard a noise. Whirling a- round, she beheld a boy starting for the door with a can in his hand. Nina threw herself on him and tried des- perately to grab the can. The boy, who was Butch, flung her onto the Hoor and ran out still clutching the precious can. In a paroxysm of grief, Nina clutch- ed at the Hoor and sobbed. Memories of foodless days and cold nights MATTANAWCOOK ACADEMY 21 caused her poor undernourished body to writhe in grief. In that can was all the money she and her grandfather had to keep them from starvation. Spike, who was cover-up man , looked in the door. He stared at the child, then after a moment's hesita- tion, he stepped into the room and looked furtively around. Hey, what's eatin' you? he growled. Nina looked up with streaming eyes. A boy just stole all our money, an' we haven't nothin' to eat, an' old Murphy'll turn us out onto the street, she sobbed convulsively. Ya mean ya ain't got any money at all, an' no grub? said Spike with a frown. Y-yes, an' Grandpapy's sick an' can't work an' I'm hungry right now, Wailed Nina. Spike fiddled around for a minute watching the grief stricken girl, then he dashed for the door. Don'tcha worry, I'll getcha money back, he yelled over his shoulder. As he put in a breathless appear- ance at the old basement, Butch said triumphantly, I got it, Chief. Spike drew another can from its hiding place. In that can was all the money that the gang had made by such acts as they had just committed. Snatching Nina's can from Butch, Spike turned it into the one he held, then he dashed out the door amid the yells of his mates. Running to the other tenement, he spun the can of money to Nina's feet. His heart underwent a curious change at the incredulous joy on the child's face. He returned to the old basement, and delivered this speech: Listen, you rats, dis club is reform- ing! From now on we'er gonna help people, not hoit 'em. Any buddy what says different? The gang looked at Spike's out- thrust jaw and clenched fists and mut- tered, Naw, Spike, we're wit'cha. -Barbara Thomas, '39 1-M.

A.- GOING TO WASHINGTON All aboard , shouted the conduc- tor. The Jamboree Scouts were off for Washington. Our train, starting from Bangor, was a special with three cars. A short man jumped upon a seat and with an English accent said, Come on, boys. Let's give the Katah- din Cheer. Yes, you bet, it was Mr. Speirs. At about five o'clock that after- noon we pulled into South Station, Boston. Our scout leader warned us that we might be laughed at for wear- ing shorts by the tough guys hang- ing around the station. When we arrived at the hotel we were lined up in front of it, when- What was that! We looked up and 22 PINE NEEDLES every window in that hotel was packed with Rainbow Girls,--in our hotel. 3We were assigned our rooms. I oc- cupied mine with Barton, Mike Clif- ford, and Buddy Whitney. In our room there were two single beds and two cots. We all wanted the beds so we flipped a coin. Barton and I got the cots. The next morning I awakened in midair because the boys had over- turned my cot. We lined up in front of our hotel and waved our goodbyes to the Rain- bow Girlsg then we marched to Trinity Station and climbed aboard our train. We were off again. On the train were some twenty or thirty cars with more cheering and more Scouts than the day before. If you don't believe that it is a long ride to take from Boston to Washington, even when the train goes eighty miles an hour most of the way, try it. It got so boring that we began to fight. Barton wanted to throw my shoe out of the window when we went through Grand Central Station. Just then a brakeman came through the car and told us to close the windows because we were going through a tunnel in fifteen minutes. We closed the window, but the man hadn't said anything about the ven- tilators so we left them open. Very soon we went into a tunnel and the soot began pouring into the car through the ventilators. By the time we got them shut, we looked like a Harlem Band. A cheer broke loose-we had sight- ed the dome of the Capital. The train came to a stop and we were in Wash- ington. Marching with our packs on our backs in the rain and lightning, pitch- ing our tents in the dark took until one o'clock that night. The beautiful city of Washington, which we had imagined, seemed to us like a vast jungle with trees now and then il- luminated by the intermittant flashes cf lightning. Everything seemed ghost- ly and mysterious. We crowded into wet beds fthey felt like river bedsj and slept. We woke the next morning with the sun shining through the cracks of our tent flap and with an eventful week before us. We found Washington a wonderful- ly beautiful city, even more so than we had imagined. We saw the Lincoln Memorial, with the Statue of Abra- ham Lincoln, sitting in an arm chair. From the steps of the Memorial one can see the Washington Monument and its reflection in the enormous pool lying between them. We went to Mount Vernon and saw Washington's Tomb. We went through the Smith- sonian Institute together as a patrol- and Barton got lost as usual. There we saw Lindberg's airplane and Wiley Post's Winnie Mae. We visited the Capital building and the White House. At the White House we saw James Roosevelt. We went to a big league baseball game between the Washing- ton Senators and the Boston Red Sox. QI won a five cent piecel Our time was divided between see- ing Washington and our scout activi- ties. We marched and were reviewed by the President and his wife. We were packed into an arena and listen- ed to speeches by the great men in scouting. Almost every night we were packed into the arena Ca ranch of 4 niilesj and watched the exhibitions given by scouts from various parts of the world. 'arg 1-fin.-f ,r ,1.r'-.'- sf 1 ' e -+ ,. ff.

With radiant hue comes swiftly The first faint flush of dawn. It blooms like a beauteous ilowerg In a blaze of glory it's gone. A soft breeze springs from the hilltops As though brought to life by the morn, Through the swaying tops of the pine trees Comes the ageless song of dawn. A song of beautiful sunsets Which have faded away into night To spring into life on the morrow- A new day, clear and bright. -Galen Butterfield, '38 -M. Al FIRESIDE TRAVELS The thermometer read forty de- grees below. I could hear the wind howling outside the window, and ev- ery so often it would blow a gust of snow down the chimney making the fire pause in its merry game. I glanced out the window, but quickly with- drew and pulled up a big comfortable armchair before the gay blaze dancing around over the logs. As I sat gazing into the flames, I thought about all the things I should like to do and the places I should like to visit. My mind raced on and on un- til I could scarcely keep up with it. Why, that looked like Mercury with wings on his feet. No, it wasn't either -it was-it was myself! The waves of the Atlantic Ocean lapped at my feet as I sped onward toward the setting sun. A silver streak emerged from the fieecy clouds, approached me ,stopped, and a voice asked if I wouldn't like a lift. I looked up to see my favorite adventurer, Richard Halliburton, in his Flying Carpet. Being rather tired from that unusual exertion, I said that I would appreci- ciate a short ride. I jumped in and a- way we flew to Rome. Oh, the grand- eur of those massive buildings! I could hardly wait to explore them! The plane was brought down and I crawled out and turned to thank Mr. Halliburton for the lift but, to my a- mazement, I beheld a beautiful gol- den chariot. It was drawn by ten white horses and the driver was none other than Julius Caesar! We sped over the city streets like fire through dry hay. Caesar and I became great friends. He told me all about Cleopatra and even showed me a lock of her au- burn hair which he wore pinned to his toga. Every thing ran smoothly until I asked him to tell me about his wife. He pulled the reins, the horses reared and then plunged forward at breakneck speed, and I saw a thou- sand trees racing toward me. Birnam woods was certainly making tracks to Dunsinane Hill! Snap! Bang! The chariot broke into a million golden red-golden red sparks. The snow rushed down the chim- neyg I pulled my toga grandly over Wwmellzigfhgyw 24 PINE NEEDLES my shoulders and climbed the golden stairs to my sumptuous bed. -H. Weatherbee, '38 --M.

Maine is the state of cheerfulness, Of laughter, work and play, There is no time for being sad, Under her sun's gold ray. Maine is the state of fragrance, With air perfumed with showers, Of rain, of winds that joyfully dance, Among the gay-hued flowers. -Juanita Griffin, '38 ---M.

I knew the voice and rose With gladness in my breast, For gentle Spring-I knew 'twas she- The one that I love best. She stood before me, more lovely Than she'd ever been before, Oh gentle Spring, I whispered. I love you more and more. She smiled a smile of sunlight, O'er my face a warm breeze fell, And the beauty of her freshness In my heart will always dwell. -Merle Phinney, '38 GETTING A CHANCE TO GO STRAIGHT The first, faint streaks of dawn were spreading like ghostly fingers on the distant horizon as I stood be- side a plane in front of the headquar- ters Hangar. Far off to my right the dim, dark outline of Bahama Island loomed against the dawn. I had been at headquarters as a guest for two days now, and had received orders to take out the Waco this morning. Joe was watching the heating blan- ket over the plane's nose, 'and as he took it off, I swung into the cockpit. Joe wound her on compression and waited. Contact, I yelled and threw the switch. The motor roared into life, and I settled down for a few minutes of warming up . She was an old crate and shuddered under the throttle blasts. Then we wobbled over the chocksg down the runway we sped, easing the stick first forward then back. I felt the ship lev- el, then lift its nose smoothly into the air. Soon headquarters had faded be- hindg some seventy miles ahead, be- hind Miami, trucks would be waiting for me. I After about a half hour, the white line of breakers marking the coast of Florida showed in the distance. The sight of them caused a faint, steadily growing misgiving as to my present errand to arise in my mind. I had always been fairly law-abiding, and my New England instincts fought against the change. Suddenly the smooth, throaty song of the motor broke into sharp, erratic coughing. Flying speed dropped and the plane nosed towards the rough Jaw '- t MATTANAWCOOK ACADEMY 25 water below. Cramming the throttle and spinning the helper magneto, I fought to smooth the motor's roar. Then, just above the water she caught and I breathed in quick relief as we zoomed up, up into the heavens. I started, nervously tautg a shadow had fallen over my cockpit. Looking back and up, I saw two naval gunmen keeping me disturbing company. The plane seemed to have appeared from nowhere. Momentary panic flooded ov- er me. Did they recognize the plane? Were they suspicious of my purpose? VVith mixed relief and misgivings, I realized that they had noticed my trouble and were simply escorting me in. It was well they didg for a while, some four miles out, the motor cut out again. My frantic efforts to bring it back to life were in vain. Gradually we nosed downward a- gain. Faster and faster we dropped. The struts and wires began first whis- pering, then a shrieking song! The al- timeter dropped swiftlyg air speed rose and quivered against its pin at two-twenty. The water leaped upward at surprising speed. Just above the water I hauled back on the stick. The ship shivered vio- lently and groaned! A great weight sat upon my shoulders, pressing me down! The nose came upg there was a tearing sound and the top wing flut- tered back over me. QFor a second we hung motionless, as though suspended in air, then we stalled and slipped into the water just below in a sea of foam. Stunned. I crawled. from the cock- pit and swam over to the floating top- wing. The plane soon sank from sight. The gunmen still circled overhead, soon they would be at hand. My smug- gling days were over before they were actually started, I was strangely con- tent. -Colon Wakefield, '38 -LM.

A.- A SAD MISTAKE Ch, nothing exciting or amusing has happened to meg just the usual quiet routine-except that time when I thought I was a thief. Well, it was three years ago. I had just left my father's office, walking slowly, daydreaming as usual. Sud- denly the sharp blast of the fire whist- le cut in my thoughts. Forty-five! That must be out-of-town. The fire engine, siren screaming, roared down the street in a cloud of dust. Two or three cars dashed after it. A fire was an ex- citing event in our fair town. As I turned to walk away, I spied my father's car parked by the curb. Why not go? Dad would never miss the car. Soon I, too, was racing toward the scene of the disaster. But somehow I never got there. Before I had gone more than two or three miles, I met the fire engine coming back. Oh, well, I thought, I'll just drop in to see Aunt Helen, her house isn't far from here. Then I turned off onto the main thoroughfare. Without taking my eyes from the road, I switched the radio on. Might as well have some music anyway. Then- Calling all cars! Calling all carsg be on the lookout for stolen car. How odd, I thought. The des- cription of the car fitted mine perfect- ly. The thief had turned in the alarm to make his get-away. Over the radio came the description of the inside- radio and clock installed. Involuntar- ily I glanced down. With a gasp of horror I looked again. Dad's car had no clock, but this one did! What was I to do! if ak ik I can explain, I heard myself stammer to the cop. But he went on checking the number plates and ser- ial number. O. K. You can go. Sorry, but We had to stop all cars answering the description. When he had left, I looked in the compartment of the car, and found a small slip of paper which I discov- ered to be a receipt for a clock this day installed in my father's car. -Glenice Cobb, '38 -M. A.- WRONG NUMBER The great day had arrived! It was Saturday-only the first game of the season, but what an important one. I had toiled long and hard to make the varsity, and here I was, clad in blue jersey and gold helmet, waiting for the first whistle to start the game a- gainst Kington. Coach Nolan had giv- en last minute instructions a few mo- ments before. The most essential i- tem was to remember our plays. I, being rather forgetful, had stamped each numbered play on the inside rim of my helmet. At last the whistle blew and the game was started. It was our ball, ten to go. I was quite nervous and called the first play in the hat that I could remember-number seven. I caught the ball and tore around left end. Sud- denly I had a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. What was the matter? Where was my interference? Why did the men look so befuddled? The 1-,sg'w1wg?w5ig'iW MATTANAWCOOK ACADEMY 27 crowd laughed, and the subs jeered. Black jerseys closed in from all sides, stopping me on the scrimmage line. Suddenly I realized that it might have been my fault. Maybe I'd called the wrong play. The coach was in a lath- er and immediately removed me from the game. Quite down-hearted I went to the showers. Upon examining my helmet I made a startling discovery: there was a number seven on the hel- met, but it was not one of our plays- it was the size number of the helmet. There was no such play! -D.

'A.- GENIUS IN ACTION I'm sitting in study hall, my head propped on my hands, and my elbows on the desk. There's a look of con- centration in my eyes, for I'm trying to write an English theme about some- thing I don't know anything about. Here comes the study hall teacher up the aisle, and she evidently mistakes my look of concentration for one of day-dreaming. I shove a textbook in front of my face and scribble industri- ously on a piece of paper until the teacher passes on up the aisle. With a heavy sigh I slam the book shut, tear the paper up, put one hand to my fore- head as if to aid my thinking, and with the other I clutch my well-worn pencil tightly. With grim determina- tion, I draw out a fresh piece of paper and write two lines without stopping. I look them over but they don't sound right. With another heavier sigh for the benefit of the freshman across the aisle, I cross out the two lines and start to write again. I look up and see that the freshman is studying my face wonderingly. After two glances at the teache1 s desk, she flips a note onto my desk. I expected this, so I take it up and read it. It says Will I have to do that when I'm a senior? I throw her a glance of pity as I write Yes on the note and flip it back to her. That makes me feel bet- ter, and I write two paragraphs on my theme. It's really quite easy after you get an idea for something to write. Of course I heave a heavy sigh now and then, for I can't let the freshman think that it's easy work. There! the theme's finished, and I take out my handkerchief to wipe my forehead. Not that I need to, but it makes a good impression! There goes the bell, and here I go, a martyr, to my English class. -G. Haskell, '38 -M. A.- A MAN TAKES HIS WIFE FISHING John, see the pretty eagle on that dead tree over there. What, it isn't an eagle, it's a fish hawk? Did you say it would probably get more fish than we would? Why don't you shoot it 'W ' EWmwr .i TI 1 if 28 PINE NEEDLES then? You haven't any gun? Oh! Here's a pretty place, I'm going to fish here. How do you know there aren't any fish here? Put a worm on for me. I'm not going to touch one of these squirmy things. Well, here goes. Oh, did the sinker hit you in the eye? I'm dreadfully sorry. You had better stand back a little farther this time. There it goes. Didn't it make a nice big splash, John? Look, it's sink- ing, what shall I do? What did you say? Reel it in? Where is the reel? Oh, you mean this little crank here. It's caught on something? Ican't reel it in. You think I have hooked a snag? What kind of a fish is a snag, John? Oh, it's a stump? What makes it move then? You say it isn't a stump, it's a fish? John, which is it? First you say a snag is a stumpg then you say it's a fish! Oh, you mean I've got a trout on the hook? Well, why didn't you say so? Look he's tak- ing all my line. Play him? What do you mean by play him ? Oh, you mean bear down on the string with my thumb. What did you say John? Reel him in? Why should I, he's com- ing back anyway. Will he bite me? John, don't get so excited over an old fish. Here give me back that rod, he's my fish. Oh, look! He came off the hook. John don't let yourself go like that. John put me down. Help! Some- body. Help! Splash. -G. Butterfield, '38 ---M. Ai- THERE IS A LOVE BUG Hiawatha and a group of Indian lads meet on the shores of Gitchee Gummee. Hiawatha speaks: Have you seen the new debutante? The boys look at each other. No one speaks, so Hiawatha goes on: She is colossal, delovely, delicious, delectable. If you have not seen her, you should. She is sixteen plus one and wears two braids purchased in New York. Her name is Red Wing. But I warn you. Keep your hands off. Off! I say. Did you hear? I am going to win her. I will scalp the permanent wave off your heads if you go near her Park Avenue Wigwam. The next sunset Hiawatha starts from his Wall Street Wigwam to visit Red Wing. When Hiawatha arrives, he beats a tatoo on the door. Red Wing lets him in, and they do a war dance to the tune of Alexander's Rag Time Band. Hiawatha departs and as Red Wing closes the door of her wigwam, a small insect with wings enters. She tries to kill it, but she can't seem to reach it with her bean pole arms. While she listens to a murder story on the short wave war-drum, the insect alights on her cheek. She takes her electric tomahawk and is about to scalp the insect when he throws a midget spear into her heart. An ex- hausted feeling runs down her spinal cord, which prompts her to fast for three days. Meanwhile Hiawatha on his way home is pursued by Trojan, who car- ries a love bug in his pocket. Trojan wishes to be bitten by this bug, but he stumbles and falls from his axis, los- ing the bug. The bug bites Hiawathag so Hiawatha goes fasting for three days. On the sunset of the third day Hia- watha goes again to Red Wing. He finds the fiap of her wigwam locked. He takes out an electric blow torch from his pocket and soon is inside the wigwam. .

That ne'er appears in festive dress When autumn comes with bitterness To prophesy the snow? If any leaf bear such a fate, Pity it, deplore its dreadful state. Sturdy though its fibre, large its size, From the largest limb though it may riseg Despite these qualities the leaf may possess, For lack of beauty and gracefulness, Living, it shall go unadored, And dead shall ever be abhorred By people trampling into the street, A crumpled leaf at their feet. -Gwendolyn Haskell, '38 -M. A.- A SUICIDE I pulled a robbery and got in jailg I telephoned home and got out on bailg I got in a wreck, and ran away, I went to the country and went to stay. I fell in a quarry and broke my arm, Got hit by a car without harm, any I ran to a cliff and jumped over it's edge, Now there's a body on it's lower ledge. -Roy Lutes, '41 30 PINE NEEDLES MAINE 'I'here's a state in my New England Where the air is cool and clear. 'Tis the playground of a nation, Sportsmen come from far and near. Midst the sighing of the pine trees By the happy, singing streams With their pools of crystal water, There the carefree Nimrod dreams. When the speckled trout are leaping, And the whisp'ring breeze is cool: Then a man forgets his worries As his Coachman iiecks the pool. Oh, if ever I should wander To the corners of the earth, In my heart I'll ever carry Thoughts of Maine, land of my birth. --C. Wakefield, '38 iM. AT- MY DREAM CHILDREN I dream all night, I dream all day Of wonderful sights Where children play. They scamper here, They scamper there, Their cries ring out Upon the air. They come with their trouble Or come when gay. I help them build Their castles in play. They are my being, It's for them I live. They understand me And the love I give. -Leta Archer, '41 BACK SEAT DRIVING The Smythe family car rolled smoothly out upon Wayneward's main highway. Smythe sat at the wheel lis- tening vaguely to the chatter of the Mrs., who sat among several little Smythes in the rear seat. John, Jr. sat playing with the dash instruments beside his father. As I was saying to Stella Seems, the other day, I don't believe in back- seat driving. I said, 'Stella, when an- other person is driving, I let him drive. Goodnessg If I didn't think he could drive, I wouldn't ride at all! You know-OOOh! John! You just missed that car there! Anyway, as I was saying-look out for those children playing in the road, John. Oh Speaking of hitting guard rails, John, wasn't that an aw- ful thing that happened to the Jonses? They say that when the car left the road, a rail came right through the windshield into Ella's face. Wasn't that-John, don't pass that truck, there's a car coming! As I was saying when-Junior, must you play the ra- dio when I'm talking to your father? Don't drive so fast, John, there might be an officer watching. Be care- ful going down this hill, John, there's a sharp curve at the bottom. John, I said-John, what are you staring at? My! your face is white, John! Don't drive so fast John! Watch that curve, Joe-e-e-e-ah! The following headlines took up the first page of the evening issue of the Wayneward Gazette: , FATAL ACCIDENT AT BENTLEY'S HILL -Colon Wakefield, '38 MATTANAWCOOK ACADEMY 31 THE STORM Suddenly everything was deathly quiet. Not even the slightest breeze stirred the air, but it was getting cool- er by the second. Then, as if a blan- ket had suddenly been drawn across the sky, everything was as dark as night. There came the most sicken- ing, frightening, wrenching noise as if all the devils of Hell were lighting. I sat huddled in a chair feeling as tight inside as a clothesline on a rainy day. There came blinding flashes of light- ning and more roars of thunder, I sprang from my chair like a Wildcat and ran to my room, stuffing my head under a pillow as a whipped dog runs to hide. The rain came down in tor- rents, beating against the Windows like millions of tiny animals trying to get in. The thunder was still rumbling and crashing and the lightening flash- ing but not quite so vividly when my father and mother came through the door, as welcome as a day in spring. Let the thunder roar and the lightning flashy I cared no more because I wasn't alone. -Betty Bachelder, '41 --M. A.- A WHOPPER Back in 1889 we had a bad storm, it snowed for four days. The drifts were piled so high that not a single fence' was visible. Well, to get on with the story-we were going to take our old horse out and plow a road to the general store so the men folks could go down there and gossip. When we had shoveled the drifts so that the horse had a place to stand, we found the drifts twice as tall as the horse. We had to put the horse back in his stall. Now in our barn, most of the room was taken up by some sort of contraption that grandpappy had been working on for years-a sort of tor- pedo-driven rocket. Grandpappy had intended to go to Mars in it someday. As he did not have the necessary funds, he abandoned his invention. The contraption had been forgotten. Just as we pulled the harness from the horse, a buckle struck a glancing blow against the grindstone, whereon a spark flew which ignited the fuse that had dangled there for years. I have a faint recollection of a terrific zoom!!! When I was brought to, sev- eral hours later, I noticed the side of the barn had been removed. I rush- ed to the aperture. There I saw to my astonishment that the old torpedo had torn its way down the street. Follow- ing its tracks, we found that it had passed the store, turned around Wid- ow Jones's buildings, and returned to our dooryard. It was now lying peace- fully beside the barn door. -M. Webster, '38 -M. A.-- ONE, TWO THREE, FOUR, FIVE One day in early fall when the leaves were turning green, I started out hunting. First I loaded a belt full of bullets, putting the cartridges in- to my pocket. This done, I ate a hearty dinner thinking I might be hungry be fore breakfast. Rover, my old dog, wanted to go, but I hitched him up, afraid that he might get scratching fleas, barking, and drive all the deer away. Well, anyway, I started out with my bow and arrows over my arm. When I jogged along at a leisurely pace, I whistled a merry tune, the birds so at- 32 PINE NEEDLES tracted by such sweet music flew in square circles around my head. All at once I heard a terrific noise to my left, I wheeled on my axis, thinking it might be one of those gol darn pole cats-always was afraid of the sweet smelling things. Imagine my surprise to see a deerg boy what a deer! I just can't remember how fur t'was to his tail-dad said t'was all fur. Guess he knows, his horns were large and crookeder than my uncle Dav's legs. There he stood staring me between the eyes. I whizzed out my bow-gun and lets him have it, one, two, three, four, five. Holy! didn't that dang deer run. Straight around and a palm he runned and my five bullets at his tail. I stood there for three hours hoping he'd run out of gas, but he kept on goin'. Finally I went home, tired and weary in me bones. I forgot all about that dang deer un- til the next year. Happening to be hunting in the same district and hear- ing a strange rattling noise, I thought I'd nose around and investigate. Im- agine my surprise when I sighted the most spectacular sight ever seen. That deer, run to a skiliton, was still run- ning and still whizzing close were my surprise, reached out, and picked those darn bullets one by one. Of course, the deer lay down and was so exhausted that it took but a few minutes to go to sleep. 'Anyone who has any doubt about the truth concerning this story, come down some day and I'll show you the five bullets. -M. Pond, '40 -M. A1 DREAMS It's silly to dream dreams And think that they'll come true. Life isn't made that way Fates weaves the web for you. This is how they scold me, When I tell those rosy dreams, The same as all fair maidens do- But dreams are wrong, it seems. Birth and death and trouble Are facts that you must face, And poverty may come to you- And worries leave their trace. But ah, those dreadful tidings Told when I am near, Yet I go gaily on my way- For dreamers never fear. five bullets.

ASSEMBLIES Assemblies are presented once a week in the gymnasium, usually on Friday mornings at 8.45. These vary from class programs to outside speakers. A questionnaire was sent around the school, about the middle of the year to see what we wanted for an as- sembly and how we should go about to get it. Shortly after this a committee was organized. It consisted of one repre- sentative from each room. The assem- blies committee decides what the as- sembly shall be and who shall present it.

The new picture machine will also be used in assemblies. This will pro- vide entertainment as well as educa- tion. Assemblies benefit the students in at least three ways. They bring know- ledge in an interesting wayg they bring the teachers and pupils closer togetherg and they provide clean en- tertainment. Parents and visitors are invited to come at any time. i-M.

PRIZE SPEAKING This year Prize Speaking ceased to be just a Junior activity and was a contest among the three underclasses. Each student in the Lower classes was required to learn a selection and to say it before his English class. Fifteen boys and fifteen girls were then chosen to speak in assembly. From that num- ber the judges chose four boys and four girls to speak at the final exhibi- tion. The students and their selections follow: Milton Carney, Sky Fodder g Reginald Clay, I am a Jew g Doug- las Hall, Brother Bereft g James Mc- Kenzie, Lillyputian g .lean Griiiin, China Blue Eyes g Beatrice Afhold- erbach, At the Circus : Ruby Bailey, A Toast That We Can Drink g and Barbara Thomas, The Sign of the Cross . The exhibition took place at Cobb Hall, Thursday, March 3rd, The judg- es, who were from out of town, award- ed the first prize to Ruby Bailey for the girls and second prize to Beatrice Afholderback. For the boys, Milton Carney and Douglas Hall got the same number of points: so they divided the first and second prizes. We wish to thank both Miss Pease and Mrs. McGraw not only for coach- ing the speakers but also for making the contest a pleasant occasion. MATTANAWCOOK ACADEMY 37 GLEE CLUB Front Row: M.

PUBLICATIONS The Tatler , a school paper printed weekly, has been published for live years. The paper has main- tained its size of last year, but at- tempts each year to have a wider ap- peal. For the last two years, the paper was turned over to the Tatler Board entirely. The teachers are ready to help, if the board needs help or ad- vice. This type of management so far has proved successful. This year's ed- itors have been Glenice Cobb for the first half year and Kathryn Moody for the last half. M. A. also publishes a school maga- zine which is called the Pine Need- les. The Pine Needles is edited by a board of several students from each class. 1 We try to make the Pine Needles larger and more interesting each year. The Commercial Department make it possible to publish these two papers. 42 PINE NEEDLES l ORCHESTRA Seated: D. Lane, V. Lutes, D. Demary, M. Carpenter, R. Dow, M. McCafferty, B. Brown, G.

ORCHESTRA The Mattanawcook Academy Or-- chestra was under the direction of Mrs. Glenroy Brown, who was a very successful director. Sorrow struck M. A. as Mrs. Brown was suddenly taken sick. Music was totally neglected for a few weeks of suspense, which ended in the death of Mrs. Brown. Light appeared through the dark- ness when Miss Ruth James stepped into the director's place. She took over the position without a hitch. The orchestra contains approxim- ately eighteen members, of which two are new ones: Stuart DeRoch and John Bowker. The orchestra plays for all school activities, except the athletics. Members to receive credit must at- tend regularly all rehearsals. This year the orchestra has been entered in the Eastern Maine Music Festival which is to be held in Dexter May 15. We hope to be able to attend. y ' 4 MATTANAWCOOK ACADEMY 43 DEBATE CLUB Front Row: F. Burk, M. Sewell, M. Leighton, N. Bishop, L. Moore, W. Whalen. Second Row: G. Pond, L. Babino, E.

DEBATE CLUB This year the Debate Club was re- organized with an entirely new set of members, mostly freshmen. At the first meeting there were games and re- freshments followed by a radio de- bate between University of Maine and Bates. The following were elected as oiiicers: President, L. Mooreg Vice President, M. Sewallg Secretary, J. Ball, Treasurer, W. Whalen. The vice- president is in charge of programs and refreshments with different help- ers each time. At each meeting the members de- bate on one or two questions. Students are assigned different issues on either the negative or aiiirmative side on which to make speeches. This is usu- ally followed by an open discussion. The subjects concern town or school issues and rouse much excitement and conflict. The new members were in- itiated during the winter term. A to- boggan party at Dicky Bailey Hill proved especially enjoyable. We have a good sized debating club, now numbering twenty-seven, and next year we hope to have some outside debates with members of Bates Debate League. 44 PINE NEEDLES ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATION Directors Front Row: B.

Mattanawcook Academy Lincoln, Maine Dear Barbara, Knowing you are still interested in what we are doing here at Matta- nawcook Academy, I decided to Write to tell you about our Exchange List, which has grown since you gradua- ted two years ago. I know you parti- cularly enjoyed reading books from other schools. The Northern Lights, of Stearns High School is an excellent paper in every way. It has a fine Editorial and Poetry department, I think. The Pilot of Mechanic Falls High School is a well-written paper. They too have a good Literary department. Their joke department is also amusing. The Crescent of Lee Academy has interesting pictures, and shows their use of time and efforts. We always en- joy their magazine. The Academy Review of Dover- Foxcroft has interesting snapshots and the School Activities are well done, The Jester of Ellsworth and The Trident of Brewer, Maine, have inter- esting snapshot and personals. The Sedan of Hampden has a good Literary department. The personals are very interesting and well ar- ranged. The Winthrop Winner Of Winthrop has a fine joke department, good snap- shots, and good Literary and Poetry departments. The Aquilo, Houlton, Maine CR . C. IJ The Pythia, Winter Harbor, The Signet, Dexter, and The Howler, HOW- land are interesting magazines with fine snapshots, and Literary depart- ments. The Comet, Sedgwick, Maine, The Microphone, Hermon, Maine, The Chronicle, South Paris, The Maple Leaf, Mapleton, Maine, and The Salt Spray, Eastport, Maine, have very well planned books with good drawings and snapshots. Our students have also enjoyed the books from Houlton High School, Pat- ten High School, Caribou High School, and Monmouth High School. We hope to exchange with other schools and to enlarge our list. Please write to me about your Nor- mal School papers. I'm sure we'd like to see a copy. Your friend, Mary C. Sewell CExchange Editor! 48 PINE NEEDLES GIRLS' BASKETBALL This year, our girls were fortunate to have Miss Smith as their new bas- ketball coach, to fill the place left vacant by Miss Clements' resigning. Miss Smith contributed enthusiasm a- long with her ability and interest. We owe much credit to her for the team's having a successful year. Last November, Miss Smith called for candidates for basketball. Eigh- teen Freshmen responded, fourteen Sophomoresg nineteen Juniors, and eleven Seniors, making a total of 42. For the first few weeks much of the time was spent in physical exercises and drills in passing, pivoting, and shooting. After much practice and careful study the Javees were chosen for their first game with Medway. Those chosen were B. Thomas, E. Clough, E. Steeves, M. Carlow, Betty Brown, V. Lutes, F. Collier, R. Dow, and L. Afholderback. Later on, however, when the varsity took several of these E. Neal and P. Bailey played on the Junior team.

A.- VARSITY Four of our letter men were still with us from last year. Although we lost H. Furrough, we had a good vet- eran player, M. Carlow, to team up with B. Terrio. E. Clough and V. Mil- lett took center positions while the Gifford girls and Bailey played guard. Other Varsity players were B. Thomas, V. Lutes, and E. Steeves, Those receiving letters were B. Ter- rio, V. Millett, M. Carlow, E. Steeves, L. Bailey, B. Thomas, F. Gifford, M. Gifford, and E. Clough. B. Terrio served as their captain and made a good one too, While E. Steeves served as manager. Each girl worked hard for the team. V. Millett proved herself to be a fast forward by piling up score in several ,I T ,ufT17'f95W MATTANAWVCOOK ACADEMY l GIRLS' BASKETBALL Front Row: V. Lutes, E.

A great deal of floor work in the forward section was due to M. Carlow. The quickness of passing in the guard and center sections also proved a great asset.

This team proved to be very successful by winning all of their games. They de- feated Lee and Howland both times they played them. Those receiving letters were E. Clough, L. Bailey, V. Millett, H. Fur- rough, M. Carlow, E. Millett, F. Gif- ford, M. Pond. Others who took part in different games but did not receive letters were C. Corro, V. Delano, E. Steeves, F. Collier, and K. Moody. Clough served as pitcher and Bai- ley as catcher. Furrough, Carlow, and V. Millett played on bases respec- tively. M. Pond and F. Gifford won their letters in the field. E. Millett was selected to manage the team and H. Furrough was elected captain. Through graduation last spring, on- ly two of these members were lost, and we have high hope of a good team this year. .W ' ..nq-'A.q'- MATTANAVVCOOK ACADEMY 51 F FOOTBALL TEAM Front Row: D.

The team received a tough blow to start with when they learned that one of their best veteran linemen was not coming back to school. This left a position hard to fill. Coach Nutting worked very hard getting the boys into condition for their first game. This game was to be played against a powerful team from Houlton. This team, when the season ended, was undefeated, untied and unscored on. The final score of our game with Houlton was Houlton 19, Lincoln 0. Even though Lincoln was on the short end of the score, they were playing hard football all the way through against a team that out weighed them, nearly man for man. The summary for the season is as follows: Where Played M. A.

There are seven lettermen who will graduate in June. However, the pros- pects for next season look rather good. Mattanawcook should be on the win- ning side next year. Those graduat- ing are Galen Butterfield, Peanut Mc- Kenney, Delmont Johnston, Linwood Savage, Melvin Grattan, Burt Thomas, and Robert Preston. -M. A.-- BOYS' BASKETBALL M. A.'s basketball team started the season with only one letter man back, the team's captain, Phillip Dickinson. Under the watchful eye of Coach Holmes, they began to develop some pretty good material from the under- classes. Although they did not win either the Northern Penobscot League cup, or the American Legion Tourna- ment cup, they had a fairly good sea- son, winning six and losing six of their regular season games. They lost a hard ,z we-s eww fought game to Lee and one to East ... ---wqpuuu---'H MATTANAWCOOK ACADEMY 53 Clay rg Delano lf 1 Butterfield lg 113 B. Thurlow rf 5 Millinocket in the Legion Tournament. Lincoln opened its winning side of the ledger by defeating a highly praised Orono High School team by the close score of 25 to 21. Lincoln was leading at the end of the first per- iod 6 to 5. At the half, however, Orono had jumped into the lead, 14 to 10. In the last half M. A. showed some real playing and took the lead at the end of the third period 18 to 15.

At the half Lee, shooting very accurately, had jumped into the lead 17 to 14. The third period found both teams in a deadlock 25 to 25. Late in the fourth period with Lee leading 3 points, Lin- coln turned on the pressure and de- feated a fighting Lee team by the close score of 35 to 33. The line up is as follows: M.

At the end of the first period the score was 6 'to 1. At the half 8 to 5. At the third quarter 16 to 11, and at the end of the game M. A. lead 21 to 18. The line up is as follows: M.

My plan was that the teachers Should smile instead of frown When pupils' lessons wern't done And ranks were going down. The maximum assignment Should be two pages long, And pupils could go on strikes If they thought the hours long. Its queer but the President With my project won't agree. Instead he made me repent And he set the teachers on a spree. E. Weatherbee THE LOVER'S FATE There was a pale, round, beautiful moon 'Twas just right, 'tis said, for lovers to spoon. There was a stillness in the summer air As the hero held her tightly there. But up in the crotch of a cocoanut tree A monkey watched the two in glee While down below the lovers sat Enjoying a friendly, home-like chat. The monkey got a bright idea As he scratched a bump behind his ear. He picked a cocoanut from the tree And dropped it on the hero's knee. The hero jumped up with a cry of fear: The monkey looked on with a jolly leer. And the pale moon laughed in happy glee As the frightened lovers did hastily flee. B. M.

We'd like to publish a complete list, but our expenses make that impos- sible--at least, we can't do it each year. For this issue, We have chosen to prepare for you a complete list of the alumni for the last five years, with some details about the class of 1938. We are also paying tribute this year to particular groups: 1899, because these men were the first to graduate from M. A. as one class, 1908, because this is their thirtieth anniversary, and 1928, because this marks the tenth year of their graduation. CLASS OF 1899: Brown, Ernest, Lincoln, Maine Brown, W.

In scouting a- round I have found that they are scattered in every direction and in many different fields of work. Several members have join- ed the matrimonial class. Loys Bachelder married one of the Lee boys, Vinal Stevens, and they are living in Lee, Eva Millet and Francis Whalen have always been that way about each other so they are marriedg Mildred Smith also married one of the Lee boys, Leland Bailey, but they are living in Lincoln, Alma Dow married Eddie Mott of Lincoln. There are some who thought they need- ed a little more education. Charlie James and Herbert Crommett are attending Beal's Business School in Bangor. Kathleen Lud- den and Ruth Furrough have decided to become teachers. Katie is at Farmington Normal, and Ruthie's at Gorham Normal. Bernice Nickols is a student at Burdett Col- lege in Boston. Deborah Daigle and Bertha Emery are to be nurses. They are in training at Eastern Maine General Hospital at Bangor. Frances Moody, who is at present working at the Workman Hospital in Lincoln, plans to go in training later on. Dwight DeWitt, who was the dramatist of the class, is attending Bates College. Clark Osborne, another dramatist, is taking a post-graduate course at Maine Central In- stitute in Pittsfield. Linwood Currier is a stock-boy in J. J. Newberry's Co. Someday he may be the general manager. Let's hope he will! The little boy who came from Presque Isle seems to be doing quite well as a sales- man in the First National Store. He is none other than Ralph Folsom. Lynn Flemming, the business man of the class, is working at the Lincoln House. I have just found out that another mem- ber of the class is married. Helen Strout married Harold Gordon from Winn. Other members of the class who are working about town are Elizabeth Moulton and Thelma Collier, who are salesladies at Newberry'sg Stanley Bowker and William Murchison, who are working in the millg and Wilma Cary, Wynoma Boyce, and Nor- ma Curtis, who are working at various pla- ces about town. Lawrence Warren and Malcolm McMullen are working in the Noddin garage in town. Clarence Weatherbee is also working in a garage. He is employed at Thomas's garage. Hildreth Furrough, M. A.'s number one basketball player, is taking the beauty cul- ture course at the Wheeler's Beauty shop in Bangor. Almon Haynes is to be the barber of the class. He is taking a course in barbering in Massachusetts. Theodore Landry is the soda fountain boy at Rexall Drug Store, and is also clerk in the First National Store. Grace Kilbride, Lalia Bowker, and Gwen- evire Smith, and Frederick Hall are also doing work in town. Melbourne Delano and George Wilson are employed in the South Lincoln Mill. John Scanlon is running his father's store in South Lincoln. Vivian Tash is training for a nurse in Portland while Cora Tash is in Pittsfield. Bliss Wheaton, that all-round athlete, is living in Passadumkeag. Ottalie Morrill and Bernice Gordon are taking post-graduate courses in Mattanawcook. Marilaide Lutes is taking a course in library work in New Jersey. During this winter, Mary Burke is working at a hotel resort in Florida. N7:G'f-NE! Lp s .
