A. HOME ECONOMICS When school began last fall, home economics was introduced for the first time at Mattanawcook Academy. Under the direction of their instructor, Miss Merrill, the girls began to study grooming and personal appearance, in another room other than the home economics laboratory, because the latter had not been' completed. Upon completion of the laboratory, the students moved to their new classroom. At the end of the first half of the semester the girls completed units on clothing. During Christmas vacation kitchen units were installed. There are four units in all, each of which contains a sink, stove, and kitchen cabinet. All the neces- sary equipment to go with these units was purchased. As time went by, an elec- tric refrigerator was added to these. During the latter part of the school year, the home economics classes have been working with food. The subjects under food include health in relation to food, preparation of food, nutrition, and etiquette. At the present time plans are being made to have a home economics club made up of girls who are eligible to join. Next year the second-year students will continue their study of food fcanning, marketing, food budgets, food planning, preparation, and servlngl, clothing ftailored clothing, designing and othersl, and home improvement. The following year the third-year girls will consider family relationship, child development, business of the home, vocational opportunities in home economics, dress problems, and special nutrition problems. If there is a fourth year of this course, subjects will include child development and play school, personality development, consumer education. During that fourth year the students will have an opportunity to work on any of their individ- ual problems. SPANISH Do you recall the editorial in last year's Pine Needles, Spanish at M. A. ? That plan for a course in Spanish for juniors and seniors has been carried out this year. The ten girls taking the course are enjoying the study of the language and customs of those people on whom the culture of our Latin-American neigh- bors is based. Mattanawcook Academy is one of the first schools in Maine to help further the good neighbor policy by teaching Spanish. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Girls' physical education under the direction of Mr. Bartlett has been a very worthwhile and well organized program this year. Regular class instruction con- slsts of calisthenics, marching, archery, volley ball, tennis, pingpong, ballroom dancing, soccer, and team games. Records have been kept of each pupil to show her development throughout the year. By special appliances they have been able to check their lung capacity and hand gripg defects in posture, hearing, and sight have also been checked. These frequent opportunities to experience the real joy of accomplishment through play develop a sense of cooperation with one another, and add to the inner satisfactions which are fundamental to real happiness. Physical education is a humanizing education when rightly conceived and administered as it is in our school today. MATTANAWCOOK ACADEMY INTRAMURAL ATHLETICS A new physical training program has been organized during this year under the supervision of Mr. Rodney Bartlett, physical education instructor. Those students who cannot participate in the regular athletic activities have an oppor- tunity to enjoy basketball, touch football, hiking, volleyball, archery, tennis, ping pong, wrestling, boxing, softball, and bicycle riding. To enliven interest, teams have been organized with captains and managers. At the end of the year a plaque with the name of the girls' and boys' teams, their captains and man- agers, will be awarded to the winning teams . A report of the standing of the intramural teams may be found in the sports section of the Pine Needles. FIRST AID AT M. A. First aid, taught by Mr. Bartlett, is a course compulsory for freshmen and sophomores and voluntary for juniors and seniors. The course, while it is being given, occupies two of the regular gym periods each week. Fifteen hours are required to complete the course. A Red Cross certificate will be awarded to each member of the class who completes the required number of hours and passes the final examination. T'he importance of First Aid continues to grow as authorities realize the rela- tionship between training in First Aid and accident prevention. Because of the national crisis it is necessary that all young people have at least some knowledge of First Aid. JUNIOR RED CROSS COUNCIL The Junior Red Cross Council is composed of the following members: E. O'Dell Qpresidentl, J. Lee, J. Osgood, ivice presidentsl, M. Ross, isecretaryl, R. Adams, B. Weatherbee, M. Beathem, R. Peterson, James Vose, and R. Weatherbee. These people were chosen by the members of the Junior Red Cross at M. A. The council directs the activities of the Junior Red Cross and cooperates with the Senior Red Cross. The council first conducted a campaign for books for the armed forces, and were gratified with the number that they were able to collect. T'hey are now or- ganizing a drive for yarn which will be used in making an afghan to be sent to a Red Cross hospital. The members of the Junior Red Cross have given their time and effort to various other activities and have acted as errand boys for diderent organiza- tions. EDITORIALS SPIRIT OF M. A. Students, I am the spirit of M. A. I used to be around everywhereg stu- dents were full of enthusiasm. No mat- ter what the occasion might be, I was brought forth and displayed. Towns- people liked me and came to see me help the students do their best. Then, just as a depression strikes a country, I was struck, or rather thrown aside. I might just as well not have been cre- ated. In this epoch-making year 1942, I have wondered why, since my brother spirits are working with the soldiers, I couldn't come back to my friends in school. Students, let's admit that I, the spir- it of M. A., should again be given my place among you, although I was lost, in as much as I remained in the hearts of only a few. I would like to be your spirited friend in school activities, academic and extra-curricular. Students, the year is young and I am full of amibition and zeal. Let us, you and I, work together to give the world our best. -M. A.- EDUCATION AS A PATRIOTIC DUTY Young people in high school today need an education more than ever be- fore. Ever since the beginning of time the educated people have led the masses. As civilization continues to de- velop we shall need educated people to follow as well as to lead. Only through cooperation and knowledge of the fundamental social problems, which are part of our high school training, are we able to maintain a stable government. We must be prepared to rebuild the shambles that will be left after the war. We must admit that it takes man- power and armaments to win a warg we also know that brains plus educa- tion are the powers behind these two factors. There will probably be a lack of jobs for ordinary workmen more than any other type. We must make our generation realize that it is a duty -a very patriotic duty-and a privi- lege to make the most of the opportun- ities extended to them in high school. Many American youths feel that they are serving their country to the utmost by leaving school and enlisting in the United States armed forces. We realize that it is a patriotic deed to do this freely and willinglyg however, let us prepare not only for war but also for the post-war period. America's fu- ture lies in its educated younger gen- eration. -M. A.- DEFENSE JOBS Graduation this year comes at a a very critical time. Production will reach a high point that may never again be seen in this generation. Many opportunities are presented to those who wish to work. Defense industries all over the country are demanding workers of all types, from many occu- pations. The shipyards need more Welders, tool industries call for more machinists, and many call for en- gineers and draftsmen. High wages are paid in all of these jobs. Because of this demand, many shops MATTANAWCOOK ACADEMY 9 and schools have been started by the government to train welders, machin- ists, wood-workers. A person is giv- en a chance to learn a good trade at the expense of the government while doing his share in our defense. No boy, if he doesn't intend to go farther in school and if he can't enlist in Uncle Sam's forces, should remain idle for a minute, but he should choose the trade he likes best and work for the defense of democracy. It is his duty, by making use of these oppor- tunities, to do his share in helping his country to defeat the Axis powers. It is up to him to produce the great quan- tities of war materials that are so bad- ly needed to win this war. -M. A.- ON LOOKING OVER ONE'S SHOULDER Is there anything more annoying than to have someone leaning over your shoulder while you are trying to read, especially if he is fond of chew- ing gum? My sister Anne used to be like that, but Dad cured her in short order, because he was the one she always bothered. Every evening when Dad would settle down in his usual chair with the Commercial, Anne would be right back of him, leaning over his shoulder to read the funnies, too. She didn't really mean to be a both- er, I think, but she certainly was one, and I'm telling you Anne likes her gum. She can snap it louder than any- one else I've ever heard before, maybe because she has had so much practice. Dad would always frown and gruffly order Anne to go away, telling her that she could have the paper after he had finished with it. She would back up a few steps, but in a short while she would be right there again. On this particular evening Dad told Anne that because he wasn't quite ready to read the paper, she could have it first. While Anne rushed in to sit in Dad's chair, Dad was in the kitchen stuffing some gum into his mouth. Then he went to lean over Anne's shoulder to help her read the paper. Anne absently asked him to stop snapping gum, it bothered her, and when Sis started to move, he made her sit right where he was. Well, Anne finally found out why Dad hadn't liked to have her lean over his should- er, and believe me, she hasn't tried it since. -M. A.-- LEISURE TIME What shall I do with my spare time? Have you ever asked this ques- tion? Have you ever answered it? A few people know just what to do with every minute of their leisure time. The person who is fortunate enough to have hobbies has an advantage over the person who doesn't. If a person is especially interested in something, such as building model airplanes, col- lecting stamps, post cards, or playing some musical instrument, he will al- ways be able to spend at least part of his leisure time at that. Since we are told that what a boy is depends upon what he does when he has nothing to do, we come to the conclusion that hav- ing a hobby helps a person to gain some end, either material or intellect- ual. Many times a person has been known to take up the study of some musical instrument just for the sake of having something to do, and then 1 0 PINE NEEDLES continue with it for his life work, whereas the person who spends all his spare time in the pool room will pro- bably get rid of all his money there, and not gain anything in the end. Of course a person should spend some of his leisure time out of doors, whether his hobby is an outdoor one or not, but this should be easy enough, for who doesn't like to swim, play ten- nis, hike, skate, ski, go toboganning, sliding, or canoeing? Many Americans devote altogether too much time to the movies, the roller-skating rink, or oth- er public amusements. Because people in our country do some sort of inside work, if they do not spend part of their leisure time out of doors, they will not be very healthy. In several states there are some sugar diabetes camps where the patients have to stay out of doors all the time, even sleep out of doors in the winter! Doctors believe in fresh air, even for the healthiest of us. Regardless of how you have been spending your leisure time, why don't you resolve to do something profitable hereafter, something that will develop and strengthen your body and mind, something that will promote high standards of character and growth of personality, and something which will lead you to a Wider acquaintanceship with desirable friends and compan- ions? VICTORY VERSUS DEFEAT For the past fifty years Japan's main aim has been expansion, and for the past fifty years Japan has been expanding. She has taken over, at one time or another, Russian, Chinese, German, and French territory. The United States, not wanting to start a war, did not take a belligerent stand. The United States made treaties, sunk her own warships, and made disarm- ament her policy. Japan violated treaties, built a huge navy, and has for some time been secretly arming and training her people for war. Japan's greatest show of treachery was her sneak attack on December 7, while her special ambassadors were talking peace with our leaders. America mustn't be disheartened by setbacks resulting from this sur- prise attack. She must remember that the Japanese have been preparing and training for that for a long time. The Japanese are at their peak. Their industries and manpower have reach- ed their limit. United States industries and manpower are just getting started. From now on Japan must surely de- cline, while America will steadily rise in production and power until a point is reached at which we are able to take the offensive and drive Japan on the road to defeat.

ORCHESTRA This year the high school orchestra under Miss James' direction is the best instrumental group Mattanawcook ev- er had. Every member, from the time he first began playing in the orches- tra, has put hard work into it. That effort has been rewarded by constant recognition of the orchestra's contin- uing success. Special mention should be made of those seniors who for four years have been lending their talent to the school through the orchestra: John Ryder, violing Ella Page, clarinetg Lawrence Moores, trombone: J. DeMarey, vio- ling Helen Treadwell, alto horn. The orchestra regrets having to lose its senior members. Music is furnished by the orchestra for assemblies, speaking contests and plays.

GLEE CLUB Several girls and more boys than usual reported for Glee Club practice the first week of school. This year, for the first time, the Glee Club has four part harmony. From newly pur- chased books, the members learned new numbers including Smoke Gets In Your Eyes , Manhattan , Lazy , At the Christmas assembly, Mr. Mc- Graw requested the club to do Si- lent Night as an encore, because it was his favorite carol, and especially because the bass voices rang out with clearness and melody. At the presentation of Little Wo- men, the following girls sang Moon- light Madonna : B. Ball, G. Archer, K. Whalen, P. Whalen, V. Warren, J. Warren, E. Grant, R. Weatherbee, G. Scott, and F. Yelland. Gloria Scott hasn't voluntarily miss- ed any Glee Club rehearsal in four years.

THE BAND Our band of 45 members was or- ganized during the latter part of the 1940-41 school year. Under the super- vision of Miss James, the members of the band have shown much talent. Several grammer school students con- tribute to its success. The band has played at many school activities. One basketball game was enlivened by band music, but because of lack of seating space and because of the fact that so many band mem- bers were on the basketball team, it was impossible for this to be continued during the basketball season. Last fall the band made an admir- able showing when it played at Spring- field and it plans to play there again this fall. By playing at two defense meetings here in Lincoln, the members showed that they recognized their pa- triotic duty. At the meeting in the auditorium, every member was pre- sent. In 1941 the Memorial Day parade, led by the band, was the most suc- cessful one in several years. The band also had the honor of leading the fourth of July parade.

Toward this end the members of the club have learned to make better snapshots, to develop their own films, and to print their own pictures. This year the club has been for- tunate in securing a series of lectures and illustrative slides from the East- man Kodak Company, which have contained some very informative ma- terial. These slides are shown every two weeks in the laboratory. The Photography Club has recent- ly purchased a flash bulb camera which enables one to take pictures in- doors or at night.

ARTS AND CRAFTS Made up of senior and junior girls who meet Monday from 3:30 to 5:00 P.M., this is primarily a club to allow those who wish to express themselves through the use of their hands to do so. Perhaps there is no craft that trains the eye and hand in expert coordina- tion as does the art of metal and woodwork. The hand will accomplish what the eye detects. With this in mind the Arts and Crafts Club here was organized. This year there are eight members. Cn March sixth the club sponsored a school social.

To drive along the roads in North Dakota makes one sleepy and lone- some, for ahead for miles are only wide open spaces. On either side of the road, a few low-built farmhousesg straight ahead, more-of nothing. One feels as if he were going to drive right over a drop-off into the ocean. For miles, a long, clear, blue sky, tall corn stalks, and golden wheat. We were touring to the west, with Jamestown, North Dakota, our desti- nation. Even though riding across the deserts tired us, the anticipation of visiting close relatives whom my fath- er had not seen in years and the rest of us not at all, kept us on the road each day. Just before reaching Jamestown we noticed that the road seemed to be all spotted. Driving slowly, looking close- ly, we saw frogs hopping around on the road. When heavy trucks would loom past, we watched to see how many of the frogs jumped out of the way of the large tires barely in time to escape getting squashed. Others lay in the road, already dead. It looked like a checkerboard, the small black ones hopping about, the others -blood stains. I shivered to think how LITERARY many we were running over. We were told that because the country was so dry they were in the road looking for water. Without any further excitement we reached Jamestown. Jamestown seem- ed like any New England city, with its beautiful homes, and the col- leges, sanitorium, hospitals, and chur- ches surrounded by well-kept grounds with many colorful flowers. Many people asked us if it were hotter in Jamestown than in Maine. I thought it much warmer there and said that I wouldn't like living there all the time for it seemed so far from nowhere. I expected to see large herds of steer grazing about on the plains, but in order to see this we had to visit the stockyards in Jamestown. I walked around the tops of the stalls to see the cattle, hundreds of them all bellowing at once. Because of the noise and the swarming flies, several times I barely missed falling into the yard. These cattle were being marked and made ready to ship to the slaughterhouse. Later We got our taste of the desert when we had to stay at a small farm- house right on the wide open plains, with other relatives who lived outside the city. The nearest houses were miles off over the plains. Because I love horses, I rode almost continuous- MATTANAWCOOK ACADEMY 31 ly that first day, but that night I knew I shouldn't have ridden so much. Was the next day exciting! It was so hot that, in addition to shedding many of our clothes, we had to stay in the cellar most of the time. My father was going to take a shower by means of the device in the barn where the water is heated by the sun. On the end of the tank is a spray which is opened by a string. Dad got scalded. We were told of the strong winds that come up on the plains. Just a few years before, right near there, a cy- clone had caused much damage. When one man got out of his car and closed the door, the door came open, he shut it again, but still it opened. He did this several times until finally it dawned on him what the matter was and he ran for shelter. Washing machines and cars were picked up and carried a- way. One man was found in an open car with splinters driven all through his body. Were we scared when the windmill started around at what seemed to be ninety knots a minute, and the turkeys began flying! Our family started screaming and ran for the house. It was nothing serious, just a strong wind lasting for only a few minutes. That night we watched the beau- tiful red sun sink below the horizon after blazing over the large area of rippling wheat. There was no sway- ing of trees above, or lashing of water on the shore. Only-quiet. Louise Whitney, '42 -M. A.- DEJECTED Rastus, get yo' lazy self outa dat bed dis minute. De postman just ring dat bell and seys this letter done be fo yo. Land o'goshin', Ma, I'm glad I got a little schoolin'. What do yo all 'spose it am? Wall, come on boy. Look on de un- side 'en see! Rastus, with anxious fingers, rips the envelope. Wall, slap ma foolish face ! Wall, boy, speak up 'n 'spress yo'- selfi. What do it say? Naw, it sez that Uncle Sammy don' wants me. I's drafted! I's to go to Louisville tomorra to get eggza- mined! Oh, ma po' baby. Yo all is a man now, honey chile! Don' cry, Maw, I's a man all right. But I hain't gonna be in no army. I's goin' to town now and fix me propa'. Rastus leaves. In about two hours he returns, but he hasn't all he started with. He has not a tooth in his head. Now, we all'l see ifn' Uncle Sam wants me. He don't take people what got no teeth and besides I's got a wife by rights even if'n she ain't here to show 'em. She never was much good fo' somethin'. Rastus finally gets to Louisville, after much fussin' and fumin'. His friends and relations are all on hand to bid the small town boy 'good bye'. He, with many other unfortunate souls, is ushered into the medical department for abusive treatment. His heart, lungs, would-be teeth, eyes and ears are tested by the army doctors. They put him through one sad test that Rastus didn't figure on, -his feet. Oh, my! Poor soul! Rastus after being gone-over is presented with a return ticket to Cot- 32 PINE NEEDLES tondale. He gets off at the little sta- tion to find no one waiting for him. He has nothing with him except his traveling bag-and he grips a small sheet of paper in one hand. He starts several times to throw the paper away but every time he holds tighter to it. He puts it in his pocket as he gently taps on the Old Cabin Door of home. His mother answers. Oh, honey chile., de great Lord has don' branged yo' back to me. Rastus is ushered into the little cabin. Therein sits Parson Brown and Mr. Judkins, editor of the Cotton- dale Weekly. They were here to get a report on Rastus' being drafted. He is greatly welcomed. They don't ask him Why he is home or why he isn't in uniform. They inquired about the trip and such. Very slowly Rastus presents the paper he cherished. The Parson reads it aloud:- There's a quiver in my liver There's a murmur in my heart, My head is bare where once was hair, I'm fallin' alla part. My teeth are lost, my eyes are crossed, My feet, as flat as can be But I'm not sore, 'cause in a war They can't take guys like me. Mr. Judkins gasps. Parson Brown is astounded. Maw praises Rastus, Honey chile, it am beauootiful. Son, yo' all can 'rite poetry. Parson Brown looks at Mr. Jud- kins and there is an understanding. Rastus' poem is to be front-page ma- terial for The Weekly. Mr. Judkins. upon further inquiries, asks Rastus why he was turned down. Rastus replies I with a grin that couldn't be used in any tooth-paste ad, yanked, but my feet is so flat, the mid- dle is level wid de groun'. K. Whalen, '42 -M.

Steve Johnson reached nervously down and drew a card from the top of the pack. The tiny old fortune-teller snatched it from him eagerly, looked at it for a moment, then said in a sharp, raspy voice, An ace! an ace! It is onlucky s'r. Her beady black eyes glittered excitedly and she push- ed the pack toward him again. An- other, take another! Steve was beginning to become un- easy. Why didn't she ask his wife to draw a card? Why did she look at him so wildly? He reached down, drew another card, and turned it over slow- ly. The woman's eyes seemed glued to the card. She sucked her breath in sharply. Another ace! Two black ac- es! she gasped at him. Fate is two steps behind you. Just two steps be- hind you. S'r you mus' be careful, you mus' be ver' carfu1'. Her frail body twitched spasmodically, and her hands shook with excitement. Steve rose to his feet. Even though he did not quite believe what she said, this woman disturbed him. He took his wife, Emma, by the arm and moved toward the door. Let's go. I don't like this place. His wife protested, Let her tell us some more, but no amount of coaxing could persuade the funny little for- tune-teller to tell them anything else. She seemed to be in a sort of trance, staring into space and muttering to herself, Two steps behind you, just two steps behind you. They left, glad to get out of the at- mosphere of that weird, rickety little house and away from its queer occu- pant. Steve could not get over the feeling of uneasiness, however. Why did she say that? What did she mean? He pondered these questions often in the months that followed, but as time wore on, he was busy with his lumber operations and practically for- got it. He had a good year, cleared ex- penses by a large margin, and got a big contract from Ford and Smiley for a job the following year. Camp was set up in the new place and everything was going smoothly. Steve was feeling Very pleased with himself. If he made as much on this job as he had on the one last year, he was almost sure of getting the con- tract from the Eastern's. That meant a vacation in California with his par- ents. He had purchased two new trucks and a pair of pure-bred Belgian Chestnuts. They were beautiful hor- ses, heads held highg huge arched necks 3 straight, strong legs, and great MATTANAWCOOK ACADEMY 35 bodies that glistened in the sun. They were not very well broken though, and had to be handled carefully. The one called Jim had a mean streak too. He was always biting and kicking. Steve whistled cheerfully as he un- hooked the horses from the sleds. He went around to the front and grasped Jim by the bridle. Suddenly, there was a great explosion as a charge of dy- namite, set near by, went off. The ter- ror-stricken horse screamed shrilly and reared high up on his hind legs, jerking Steve off his feet. Steve dang- led in mid-air for a second, his hand slipped from the bridle, and he fell in a heap on the ground beneath the mighty horse. He looked up to see the great legs pawing the air. Wildly he squirmed and twisted to get out of the way. Heavy, iron shoes coming down toward him-nearer! nearer !-Steve summoned all his strength, gave a great lunge, and twisted himself out of the way just as the feet of the great horse hit the snow beside him. He got up slowly, and wiped his brow with a shaking hand. What had that fortune- teller said? Fate is just two steps behind you. You must be careful. It was on a stormy winter day two weeks later that Steve helped load his big International with heavy, ice-coat- ed logs to be trucked across the lake near his lumber camp. A chill wind was blowing, but the cold did not pen- etrate the heavy plaid wool shirts and khaki pants that he wore. High black boots and wool stockings kept his feet warm and leather mitts protected his hands. He was rather tired but as this was his last trip, he grinned cheerfully at the striker, raised his hand in sa- lute, and started the big truck rolling slowly forward. It purred smoothly along and Steve mused to himself as he sat at the wheel, Been a good year. Should clear about 52,000. Sud- denly his thoughts were interrupted by a sharp jolt, a great cracking sound, and a slow settling of the back of the truck. He gasped, The ice! It's break- ing! Frantically he jammed down on the accelerator. No use! It was a goner. The nose of the truck was ris- ing off the ice as the logs settled down into the water. Steve clawed franti- cally for the handle on the door. Gone! It had been broken off that morning. In an agonized frenzy he smashed with his strength through the window, but that was useless. It was too small for him to get out through. Wildly he looked around him. The other door. If only he could get it open. He lunged frantically for the handle, pushed with all his strength left in him, but it would not open. It was jammed a- gainst the ice as the truck tipped up on its side. Despair flooded over him. Blood streaming from his slashed hands soaked his clothes. Icy water poured in through the window, up be- tween the floor boards, filling the cab. The truck was sinking rapidly, even though it seemed like an eternity to the doomed man inside. The water was coming up closer and closer to his face. His body was numb from the cold. His brain, the only thing about him which seemed still alive, was whirling madly, feverishly. What had that wo- man told him? What was it she said? You mus' be careful. Fate is two steps behind you! Suddenly he saw everything clearly. It was useless to try to escape fate. You couldn't. This was the second step. V. Blake, '42 36 PINE NEEDLES HOUSEWIFE'S HEADACHE- WHERE'S THE ASPIRIN! Oh, Mary called Bill from the bathroom, where's my razor It's in the medicine cabinet on the second shelf, she answered, busily setting the table. And, Bill, when you get through, please put it back where you found it. Any one would think a hurricane had struck the bathroom when you get through in there. Okay, honey, everything will be spick-and-span when I leave here. The buzz of the electric razor could be heard as Bill hurriedly shaved. There really wasn't any need of his shaving every day, but he thought Mary liked it better. Ouch, came an agonized cry from the bathroom. What happened, Bill? Oh, I just scraped my chin a little. Mary, will you bring me a towel and washcloth, please? I'm awfully sorry to bother you-really. Mary hurried in with the articles. Won't you please hurry for break- fast, dear? It'll be all cold. Oh, I'll be ready in a jiff, he ex- claimed as he grabbed and kissed her. Mary went out and picked up the newspaper. She had just started read- ing, when from the bedroom came, Oh, Mary, where's my shirt? There in your drawer, silly, where they always are. It isn't either. Laying down the paper, Mary Went to see for herself. Bill Banks, you're worse than a two-year old. There in the drawer was a pile of white shirts. What do you think those are-your nightshirts? snapped Mary. But I want that light blue one, not a white one. Goodness, Bill, I'll be a nervous wreck by the time you leave for work. You wore that blue shirt Monday and it hasn't come back from the laundry yet. So it hasn't! he exclaimed. Gee I'm dumb. Having reached down and carefully pulled a white shirt off the top of the stack, he slipped it on and started buttoning it up. Oh, heavens, there's a button off. he wailed. Grabbing a needle and thread, Ma- ry sewed it on. Bill, if you don't hurry up, you'll miss the bus. Oh, I'm all ready. Let's eat. They sat down, Bill taking half the paper and Mary the other half. You know, Mary, toast and coffee never tasted so good in my life. Thanks, Bill, I'm glad you like them. Gee, Mary, these doughnuts are swell, too. Bill? Yes, Mary? What do you want me to do What do I want you to do? Yes. Why, nothing, dear. Why do you ask? Well, you haven't given me any compliments since you invited your boss home a month or so ago. Maybe I haven't noticed before how good a cook you are. After rising and slipping on his ov- ercoat, he came over to kiss her. Good-by, dear. Uh-the boss' wife is away and he-uh-sort of invited him- self over tonight, and I-well, honey, I just couldn't refuse. I6 Cl MATTANAWCOOK ACADEMY 37 With this, he rushed out the door in Dagwood fashion while she stared after him in amazement. So that explains it! she mur- mured. D. Tash, '42 -M. A.- TRAITOR June Hayman walked slowly be- tween the rows of glass cases that held in imprisonment her four deadly but extremely beautiful snakes. Two hooded cobras, a water mocassin, and, the most deadly of all, a fer-de-lance, were her pets. For almost six years this lovely girl, who was twenty-eight now, had been studying and caring for these four reptiles. Because she loved her pets, they shared the house with her. Every day they were taken out and handled. She said this was a very nec- essary item, for without it they would forget her soothing words and friendly gestures and some day might become difficult to deal with. Men who had spent their lives with snakes told her that eventually if she didn't watch hers very carefully, they would deal the fatal blow: neverthe- less, she loved and trusted these strange pets. Elmer the fer-de- lance, the deadliest of all reptiles, was also the most amiable of them all. He would submit to being worn either as a collar or a belt. His twelve foot body looked startling, wrapped about his mistress' graceful torso. But Pat and Mike , the two cobras, were rather touchy. June had to handle them very gently. With a great deal of coaxing she could get them to spread their colorful hoods. Sue , the water mocassin, could be made, by a gentle tap on the nose, to open her mouth and show the rose-pink in- terior. Usually at 9:30 a. m. she fed them their chickens, eggs, and rabbits. Af- ter their morning meal she petted them one at a time for about an hour. 'F Sk lk It was Saturday noon that Bob Clukey decided to run over to June's and take some pictures of her and her curious pets. He rang the bell but no one ans- wered. After ringing several times he walked in. Entering the Hsnakes' play- room , he 'saw June's lovely form bent forward in the chair, her hands hang- ing lifeless. Rushing to her side, tip- ping back her head he saw two pink- ish marks on her beautiful white neck. HF Ik Ill That afternoon people all asked the same questions. Why was June Hay- man killed? Who took the life of this lovely snake lover? After two hours of investigation, the police revealed the identity of her death. In June's bed room, nestled in the folds of her pink chenille housecoat, lay Elmer , her trusted fer-de-lance! L. Whittier, '42 -M. A.- WHERE'S JEFF? Study? Nothing doing! How could anyone settle down to study that morning when the final and most im- portant basketball game of the year was to be played in the evening. Be- cause Skippers Academy and North- ingham High School were both un- defeated teams, the rivalry between the two schools was very strong. But Jeff Anderson, Skippers' star player, had not appeared at school 38 PINE NEEDLES that morning. Everyone was asking: Where's Jeff? Is he sick? Have you seen Jeff? What's the matter with him? By noontime, when the suspense had become too great for some of his classmates, they went to the Ander- son home to find out what was wrong. Much to their astonishment, Jeff's mother informed them that her son had not returned from school. Tom Franklin, Jeff's closest friend, shouted in surprise, What? You mean he went to school? Why yes, didn't you see him? He left at the usual time. Oh,.don't tell tell me something has happened to him! We didn't mean to frighten you, Mrs. Anderson, but we thought that because Jeff wasn't in school this morning he must be ill. We are hav- ing a tough game ahead of us tonight, and we are depending on Jeff's play- ing to lead us on to victory. But if he wasn't at his classes this morning, where can he be? I don't know, Mrs. Anderson, but I'm going to find out, if it's the last thing I do! spoke up Tubby, a short, roly-poly fellow. I'm going to go on all streets which J eff always takes on his way to school and ask everyone if he saw him. I'm on my way! Before anyone could say a word to him, Tubby was out of the door in a flash despite his extra weight. While Tubby had been talking, a telephone call had been put through to Jeff's sister in Peaceville, ten miles away, to see if Jeff had been there. The phone call brought no good news. Jeff had not been there at all during the morning. Suddenly the door was pushed open, and Tubby tumbled in, his face flushed with heat, his breath coming in short, quick gasps. He was unable to say a word. Everyone tried his best to get him to talk, but to no avail. When he was able to speak, all he said was, Gosh, give-a fellow-time-to- get--his breath. Mrs. Anderson, who could not bear waiting a second longer cried out, Tubby, please-please tell us what you have found out. Before he could answer, the door opened again and Jeff, tired, his face streaked with blood, stood in the door. Mrs. Anderson, at the sight of her son, flung herself on him-crying, laugh- ing, and trying to talk at the same time. Jeff spoke in his usual calm, low- toned voice, Why, Mom, I'm O. K! Sit down, Son. Where have you been? Jeff told his story. When I left for school I met a young fellow downtown, who claimed that Sis had sent him for me. I knew that every now and then she has sent for me in the same way beforeg therefore, I thought nothing of it. I climbed into the front seat with this young fellow and a companion of his and was off for Peaceville. On the outskirts of town, I noticed that we were not on the right road and told my companions so. It was then that they kindly informed me I was not going to my sister's but to some hide- out until after tonight's game. I didn't like the idea very well, but I knew that it was best not to say or do any- thing about itg that is, for the time being. Finally we drew up to the de- serted camp. You fellows know where that is. It's the place on the Hampton MATTANAWCOOK ACADEMY 39 Road. Well, anyway they began to get out of the car and that's where I be- gan to have a bit of fun. I knocked one of the guys out, but the other was a little tougher. If you think I look bad, Mom, you just ought to see the other guy. Just then a car came along and I hailed it. I got a ride into town and here I am. Gee! I'm glad I wasn't in your place, explained Tom. I would have made some terrible blunders. Well, it's all over now. Let's for- get about it, said Jeff. That may be the way you feel about it, Jeff, replied Bob, but if this swell adventure of yours should happen to get around this small town, you can say that I had something to do with it. And the boys went back to school leaving Jeff at home to rest up for the game that night. All along the way they stopped to tell about Jefl s strange adventure. Who won the game that night? Well, Jeff Anderson led his team to victory, 30-29. Skippers Academy! State Champions again! E. O'De1l, '42 -M. A.- WHY I AM ENDING IT ALL By Gerald Grasshopper I, Gerald Grasshopper, was born in a sunny meadow, a beautiful field covered with multi-colored flowers. There I spent my childhood, playing in the sunshine, leaping from flower to flower, and resting on long blades of grass. It was here that I met Betty Beetle and also here that the great tragedy of my life occurred. I was just a young green grasshopper and Betty Beetle was the loveliest creature I had ever met. She was a beautiful shade of black and shone brilliantly in the sun. She lived in the center of a great yellow flower and every night, sitting on the end of a large leaf be- neath her balcony, I would serenade her. She was the one and the only one for me. Then came that terrible day when all the world began to be dismal and gloomy for me. Betty Beetle and I were sitting on the porch of her house. I was holding her little hand and whispering silly things to her when a handsome cric- ket strolled up. He tipped his hat to Betty and offered her the bunch of forget-me-nots he carried. Before I could protest, he had swept Betty Beetle completely off her feet and she had eyes for him only. Sadly I went back to my house. A few days later when I learned that Betty Beetle and Clarence Cricket were to be married in June, I went to Betty and begged her to come back to me, but she only shook her beautiful head and said that she could never give up her Clarence. I went back home, swearing to banish from the earth the monster who had taken Betty from me. Then remem- bering how happy Betty had seemed when she spoke of Clarence, I did not have the heart to commit a crime which would cause her any grief. This is the reason that Clarence Cric- ket will live to marry the only girl I ever loved and it is also the reason that I am going out on that big blade of grass near the spot where that fat robin is looking for something to eat. It is hard to face such a fate but I know it is the only way, for never could I live without Betty Beetle. Per- haps whoever finds this sad story will read it and understand. The moral of my story is: Watch the city slicker who brings your girl flowers. You can't trust him. R. McFarland, '43 POETRY ON A WIN'I'ER.'S EVE One winter's eve, I stood outside And gazed at the starlit sky, I felt the gentle, loving touch Of a snow-flake drifting by. I felt the breath of a whispering wind, Heard the crunch of the freezing snow, Saw millions of tiny diamonds Dance in the moonlight's glow. The spell of the moment held me, I was caught in the winter's charm, Wrapped close in her pure, white blanket, Safe in her frosty arms. I.

I broke his arm and blacked his eye, And still he wanted more, I cut his cheek and smashed his nose He fought just like a boar. I fought and fought the whole night through And not a soul did see, For nary a man upon a horse Did come to fight with me. I told the townsmen all I knew, And everyone did say, That I was brave as brave could be, And not a one said nay. They think I fought the whole night through And a treacherous soul did see, But nary a man upon a horse Did come to fight with me. J.

I spent weary hours on the victuals, Arranged the flowers just right, And when I had finished the garden Indeed, 'twas a glorious sight! The day of my big garden party I was excited and nervous as sin, But I smiled and I prattled and curtsied When the guests began to come in. They all were a-standing and chatting And having a wonderful time, But the look on that one lady's phys-og To me was a dangerous sign! She stared and she gasped and she gathered Her skirts in her hand and she ran, And the way she was yelling and screech- ing 'Twas awful, 'twas wicked-Oh man! Then I saw from what she was running And I didn't blame Madame a bit, For lf ever I witnessed a terror That vile-smelling pussy was it! My guests they all fled from the garden Like birds from a nest who have flown, And left me by myself in my misery To face that perfumed cat alone! I dared not be very persuasive And I dared not go one step too near, For partaking of that kitty's perfume Was my one dreaded, unholy fear. I coaxed and I pleaded and shoo-ed him, This all from a distance of course, And when he turned 'round and departed Believe me, I showed no remorse.

BASKETBALL TEAM rw 'Q FOOTBALL TEAM MATTANAWCOOK ACADEMY 45 October 18: At Lincoln. The hard driving boys of Mattanawcook drove the length of the field for a touchdown, Peterson scoring. Peterson then rushed the extra point and M. A. led 7-0. M. A. held Old Town to one touchdown for the remainder of the half. But the second half was a different story as the M. A. defense fell apart, and Old Town, led by Captain Hal Paradis scored 27 points to win, 33-7. October 25: At Howland. In the fi- nal game of the season M. A. made two straight over Howland, Winning by a 26-20 score. The game was close all the way, the score being tied in many places, but after Peterson's two touchdowns, and two extra points, Hanscom's and Murchison's touch- downs, and the good work shown by each player, M. A. triumphed. The letter winners are: R. Peterson, A. Thomas, C. Emery, R. Hanscom, A. Murchison, M. Lane, K. Lowell. F. Washburn, E. Davis, H. Brown, R. Ad- ams, R. Schick, F. Grant, and R.

A. started off the 1941-42 sea- son with only three lettermen-Ken Boyington, left guard, Phil Adams, ccntcrg and Parker Scott, right for- ward. The riht guard position was nlied capably by Al Murchison, and the lofi forward spot by Bob Peterson, a freshman. Meeting John Bapst on their own fioor, We dropped our first gr nic 49-23. In the next game we com- pletely dazzled our traditional rival Howland by a score of 50-17. We dropped the next game to Old Town, 511-21, largely because of their ability to sink them from way out . The next game was a thriller all the way with M. A. edging Orono by a 30-29 count. We followed this up with a 26-20 vic- tory over Schenck. Our luck at this point took a turn for the worse and we Cropped the next four games to Dan- forth, Alumni, Orono and Lee. We came from behind to win the next frame from Danforth, 25-24. Old Town broke a 24-24 tie in the final seconds to win the next one 26-24. We again showed our supremacy over How- land, this time on their own floor by a 34-17 score. M. A. then dropped games to Lee and John Bapst, each of whom went on to win the Eastern Maine Class B and Class A titles, re- spectively.

This number was somewhat smaller than that of former years. Only two letter- men were left but the new players showed high spirit.

On May 12, we went to Mattawam- keag to meet another idefeat, score 15-3. The girls took it with a smile. We went out to Lee May 20, again to find them the victors with the score 37-20. The Faculty thought they could give us another trimming on May 21, but much to their surprise fand to our surprisej we came out on top with a score 15-8. Mattawamkeag came down here on May 22, to lead us the fastest game of the year. We worked hard but were defeated 19-13.

After a few weeks' practice the number was re- duced to 16 girls. G. Scott and L. Whitney were our only lettermen. With the cooperation of all, the team did well.

Just as the clock struck twelve, a tiny mouse with a pair of spectacles precariously balanced on the tip of his nose crept out of an inconspicuous cubby hole in the wall of one of M. A.'s deserted classrooms and clamber- ed noiselessly up to a shelf, On this shelf were piles and piles of books of all colors and all sizes. Curiosity getting the better of him, the mouse cautiously opened one of these books. Because of his close association with books and because his home was in that great institution of learning, Mat- tanawcook Academy, he was definite- ly a very well-educated mouse, so when he discovered that the books were yearbooks from various schools, he was at once eager to read them. NEEDLES EXCHANGES Readjusting his spectacles, he first began to read a small yearbook,en- titled, The Lisboniann. By the expres- sion on the mouse's face it was evident which sections he liked best. A quirk- ing smile lit up his countenance as he read the literary and poetry sections but he seemed disappointed that there were not more pictures or illustrations. Next our little friend read the Acad- emy Rocket of East Corinth Acad- cmy, whose Personals he smiled at approvingly but he seemed to think that the book might be improved by having less alumni and a larger Lit- erary section. In The Crescent Lee Academy's fine yearbook, he found that the School Notes and the pic- tures were of special merit but felt that a little poetry might liven it up. Mr. Mouse was so overcome by the simplicity yet effectiveness of the cov- er of The Pilot , North Haven's re- markable yearbook, that he nearly fell off the shelf. The poetry in this book pleased him greatly but he would have appreciated a few illus- trations. The pictures in the Maple Leaf of Mapleton High School were very clear but our little friend believed that more pictures and a few illus- trations might further increase the book's attractiveness. As he read the Jokes in the Patten Mirror , the tiny mouse laughed uproariouslyg however, he wished that the pages were all of the same color. The sec- tions in the Comet of Sedgwick High School seemed too short, al- though very enjoyable. In The Se- dan of Hampden Academy, the class pictures and class reports attracted particular notice, although perhaps the illustrations could be improved. The next five yearbooks that the little mouse glanced through pleased him so much that although he was a very critical animal las has been seenl he 2 . E :D P-3 +6 n- z n- S O o o m as Q s cn E11 E '4 63 P-4 -QQ H-C could find no fault with them. He thought that the Northern Lights of Millinocket should be given a blue ribbon for the fine editorial and liter- ary sections while The Broadcast of Calais Academy should receive the same for its effective cover design and original section, News While It Is News. The numerous and appropri- ate illustrations of the Riverside of Winterport High School, together with the illustrations and poetry of Dover-Foxcroft's Academy Review were outstanding, and of course he did not overlook the jokes and the entertaining and original section, Rome Cuts Loose , in the Winner of Winthrop High School. Mr. Mouse had become so interest- ed in his yearbook explorations that he did not notice the rising sun. As the pupils began to return to school he hurriedly scurried down the wall, and as he rounded a corner he could be heard softly calling Adieu to the yearbooks. 62 PINE NEEDLES ii.
