BROWN By ROBERT HASKELL, '47 Paul Brown is symbolic of educational advancement. He came to us from the Bucksportschools, where he had for several years held the position of principal. Islands were n-ot new to him, as he had been born and brought up on an island off the coast of -Massachusetts. VVhen he arrived there was much to be done for the schools of Union 76. Mr. Brown, who is a natural hustler,-Het out to correct the evils as he saw them. This he did tortheuutmost satisfaction of both school board and townspeople. In 1945 Mir. Brown overcame much opposition to institute the school lunch program, which is probably the greatest improvement in the last twenty-live years. Mr. Brown, who is an advocate of the consolidated school, has clone much to bring this before the public eye, so that when the oppor- tunity for government aid domes, We will be able to take advantage of it. The pupils of this school are very proud of Mr. Brown, and wish him much success in his new p0SitiO11. .Q441 In appreciation of 7118.-integrity, his progressiueness, andiihis -u-ncouinted services to McKinley iHigh School, and with deep regret at losing his friendly presence, -we, the class of 1947, respectfully dedicate this book to PAUL I.

Our teachers were Mr. Arthur Cole, principal, Miss Alice Robbins, and Mrs. Ruth Hamlin, who was later replaced by Miss Ethel Rand. lVe had barely got settled, when a freshman reception was given in our honor. Of course we were frightened? but we lived through the day, as freslnnen usually do. Du-ring the year, Dorothea and Phyllis Beam, Vernettc Nevells, and Barbara Stinson left, and we were joined by Clennis Pickering and Sylvia Robbins. Our sophomore year, we had one new teacher, Mrs. Maude Stinson, who replaced Miss Robbins. This year was a little more exciting, since we had the privilege of initiating the freshmen. Wie lost Gilbert Powers from our class. In the spring we put on a Sophomore Recital, with first prize going to Gilbert Taylor, second to Marjorie Hill, and third to Myron Hardy. At graduation, most of us had the pleasure of being in the Senior pageant, The Open Road. VVe had the same teachers our junior year. Sylvia Robbins did not rejoin us. NVe gave the Town Meeting Play, The Dady Dillsv, coached by Mrs. Stinson. YVe started our Senior year with three new teachers, whom we welcomed heartily to M. I-I. S. They were: Principal, Murdock Mathe- son, who taught Science, Mathematics, and coached athletics, Mrs. Frieda Matheson, Government, English, and Latin, and Miss Maud Thayer, French, English, and Dramatics. Since Lorraine Arenhurg and Clennice Pickering did not return, our numbers were reduced to ten. At Thanksgiving we put on the play, Shrubbery Hillv, coached by Miss Thayer. After a lapse of several years, basketball was introduced again. Miss Mari-on jacques has been with us part of the year as music in- structor. She has organized a chorus, an orchestra is in the making, and possibly a revival of the band. In all these activities, many Seniors have participated. XVe had the misfortune, this winter, to lose our popular and efficient Mr. Brown. Our new superintendent, Mr. Ralph Smith, has been wel- comed, and we hope he will like his work here. ' lNe are now making last minute plans for -our class trip to New York. Our yearbook is due at the press very soon. And then will come plans for graduation, on May 28. Like other Seniors, whom we have wagned depart, we, too, must see the doors of McKinley close be- hin us. l THE GATHERER .

' A THE GATHERER STAFF A-'ill The Catheter staff, chosen this year by the Senior Class instead of by the school, started work in january with Marjorie Hill as Editor, and Robert Haskell as Business Manager. In presenting the book we call attention to the fact that we have given more prominence to activities and athletics than in former years, as we 'believe them to be a very important part of our school life. Thanks -to the efforts of the business manager, who has been assisted by Myron Hardy and Frank Pickering, we have one of the largest advertising sections the Gatherer has ever had. WVe are grateful to the business firms that responded so generously and made our book financially possible. We should like to thank the teachers also for their help.

From a com- pany of interested but untrained voices, i-t has progressed in a most favorable manner to a group of thirtydfive singers. By the end of the year we will have performed on Town Meeting evening, and at graduation. A grand start has been made in choral singing. We look forward to an even better glee club in future years. On the days when the group is not making music, they eagerly listen to the music of others. Grey, Wagner, and Tschaikowsky are among the composers studied. By questions and comments the class learns what instruments create either gay or melancholic moods, what factors make a piece popular, and how to critically judge both popular and classical music. Thanks are due to those who graciously lent records for use in appreciation classes. A very beneficial gift would be an electric photo- graph and an accumulative record collection. 20 THE GATHERER Bork row-NV. Conary, F. Pickering, C. Dunham, B. Pickering, G. Taylor. Front row-G.

They are: three trumpets, played by Frank Pick- ering, Christine Dunham, and Benjamin Pickering, live clarinets, played by Lindsey Milan, Dolores Poitras, Rosamond Eaton, Beverly Dunham, and Myron Hardy, mellophone, Norma Billings, violin, Elizabeth Hill, bass drum, Raymond Poitrasg and snare drum, Marjorie Hill. In addition to this, several of us are being given separate instruc- tion in playing various instruments. The orchestra practices twice a week, and slowly but surely, we are learning several pieces. VVe have had trouble in obtaining instruments, and we would have more players if they could be supplied with instruments. We hope that this yearis work may lead to a revival of the band of which Deer Isle was so proud. THE C-ATHERER 21 ATHLETICS ASSOCIATION The Athletic Association was organized in the fall with the followf ing oflicers: Robert Haskell, president, Myron Hardy, vice 'presidentg Clara Howard, -secretaryg and Frank Pickering, treasurer. Interest in basketball, which had not been a school sport for some years, was strong, and drillwork and shooting started on the playground soon after school began. Fifty per cent of the boys in the school, and sixty per cent of the girls, remained out for the team during the season. Practices for one of the two -groups took place regularly in the town hall every afternoon. Several pupils not able to participate actively assisted faithfully with duties pertaining to running the games. The Athletic Association sponsored the fair in November for the purpose of raising money for equipment. The proceeds from this, to- gether with protits from ga-mes and donations from interested friends, enabled the association to purchase among many other things: 7 basketballs ........................................ 3105.00 10 boys, basketball suits ,....... ..... 7 5.00 18 girls' basketball suits ........ ......... 6 0.00 I2 baseball suits ............,.... ............ 1 60.00 2 dozen baseballs ......... ..........,...,. 4 8.00 2 dozen bats ,...........,................., 9 ...,..... 48.00 I As the Gatherer goes to press, baseball and softball are under way, with plans laid for league games. The Athletic Association will also assist in putting the new athletic Held in condition, and looks forward to having some games there this season. 22 THE CATHERER LIBRARY CLUB The Library Club was organized early in the fall. Marjorie Haskell was elected president, Ma-ry Barbour, vice president, Priscilla Capen, secretary, and Clara Howard, treasurer. The first undertaking was the removal of all the books from the library shelves, and rearrangement of them, with a view to cataloguing them according to the Dewey Decimal system of classification. The library was then opened to members of the school under new rules form- ulated and 'adopted by the club. During the year we have had Time and Life on the table, the well- worn covers of which testify to their popularity. Twenty-'five new books, about equally divided between fiction and non-fiction, came in Feb- ruary. Some of the most popular of these have been Seventeenth Sum- mer, The Egg and I, The Voice of Bugle Ann, -and All American. On April 13 we held Ia cooked food sale at the Chapel, the proBts of which were about twenty dollars. This money will be used to pay for a six months' advance membership in the Book-of-the-Monzth Club. The Erst two 'books received were The Lincoln Reader and Three Came Home. ' The members of the club are .Marjorie Haskell, Marjorie Hill, Eliza- beth Hill, Priscilla Capen, Mary Barbour, Clara Howard, Christine Dun- ham, joan Howard, Gloria Barbour, Judith Haskell, Norma Creenlaw, and Beverly Eaton. Serving at the desk in turn, these girls have been re- sponsible for charging books, keeping books in order, checking on over- due books, and maintaining order at the library table. .After -a year of serious activity, the club plans to end the year with a picnic, ' ' Mrs Pendleton ...... ..........

Other members of the cast should not go without praise: Marjorie Haskell as -the very ilighty owner of Shrublbery Hillg Frank McVeigh, her son, as the realistic Southerner with ambitions for the futureg Rosa- mond Eaton as the sweet daughterg Robert Betts and Goldie Spoiford portraying the likable couple from the Northg Gilbert Taylor as their ingenious and sympathetic son. Albert Eaton -played expertly the humorous negro servant, who was always misquoting the Scripture g Norma Billings acted the old mammy g and Beverley Dunham was the quiet, modest negro -girl. Myron Hardy gave the right touch of haste and suspicion to the gambling New Yorker, eager to buy Shrubbery Hill , at all costs. 24 THE GATHERER THE TOWN MEETING PLAY The junior Class presented their play, Who Killed Aunt Caroline at the Town Hall on March 3, 1947.

Each of the other players showed pronounced strength in some quality: Elizabeth Hill in her protective motherlinessg Charlotte Hutch- inson as the devoted elder daughterg Priscilla Capen in her naturalness as a high school bobby soxer with her pet slangg Eleanor Eatorfs part as lhe not so meek companion to Aunt Caroline was wcll doneg Donald Davis had a convincingly mature voice as the reporterg Mary Alice Bar- bour showed dignity as the interested Chemistry teachcrg Beverly Eaton as an ill brought up music pupil was effectively brattishg Frank McVeigh played well the insistent detectiveg Wilfred Conary did a very good bit as the football star, after only a few' rehearsals.

PiU11iSt:-f-if---:-1-1 Carlotta Eaton Neville Eaton Goldie Spofford THE GATHERER 27 THE SENIOR CLASS TRIP The Senior Class trip to New York, Sunday March 23, to Saturday March 29-except for the minor inconveniences and shortened views of less than perfect weather--was a complete success. First trip to New York for most of us, first time out of Maine for some, first travel by train for at least one, it will not soon be forgotten. A bus trip up Riverside Drive failed, because of fog, to show us more than a Saint outline of the palisades on the New jersey shore across the Hudson. It did, however, give us a fine idea of the eleva-ted highway that skirts the city, took us past the Soldiers' and Sailors, Monument to Grant's Tomb, with its ancient battle flags and murals showing the battles of the Civil War, and to Riverside Church. Here we were fascinated by massive bronze doors, glorious stained glass windows, beautiful paintings, and in the bell tower, we saw the finest Carillon in the world, with 72 bells weighing from ten pounds for the highest note to two tons for the lowest. Tours of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, Rockefeller Center, the Empire State Building, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the boat trip to the Statue of Liberty filled our days. But somehow we tricked in visits, by phone and in person, with Deer Isle summer residents and friends, and did some shopping for graduation Iinery. The snapping of cameras wherever we went rewarded us with more intimate souvenirs than those we could purchase. Of our pleasures at the Bronx Zoo we will perhaps longest remem- ber the panda, the ever comic polar bears, the penguins, the inmates of the reptile house, and of the bird house where we found a parrot that could say Goldie . Oklahoma, Carousel, Icetime, Life lVith Father, movies, vaudeville -how did we crowd so much into so little time? And after these, arcades, hole-in-the-wall photographers, joke sell- ers, roller skating, bowling, hot dogs, blaring music from loudspeakers, and animated electric signs. Broadway, Seventh Avenue, the Avenue of the Americas, and all those side streets from Times Square to Colum- bus Circle-will we ever forget them! T he last day, the one alloted to Boston, saw the group split np, go- ing various ways in twos, threes, and fours, seeing old friends in and out of the city, visiting the State House, Museum of Fine Arts, Mapari- nm, the Constitution , Harvard University, meeting for lunch at the China House, and again at the North Station for the good old 4:30 that brought us to Bangor.

Those out were: Seniors, Robert Betts, Robert Haskell, and Myron Hardy. Juniors were: Frank McVeigh, Sophomores were: Frank Pickering, Ben Pickering, Lindsey Milan, Wilfred Gonary, Charles Barbour. Freshmen were: Charles Poitras, Raymond Poitras, and Bruce Haskell, grade eight, Wilfred Weed, and Erland Dunham. Later Charles Betts of the Sophomore class also reported. The team opened this year with Robert Betts and Raymond Poitras forwards, Frank McVeigh center, Myron Hardy and Robert Haskell guards. A later shift found Raymond Poitras guard, with Frank Pickering gen- erally started as forward. Gilbert Taylor was the hard working team mzurager. The first game was played with Penobscot at Deer Isle and the boys made a very creditable showing. The second game on the large Blue Hill Hoor was our worst defeat. The team progressed slowly until the second Stonington game, when in the most thrilling game of the season we led Stonington until the last minute of the game, losing by a 13-12 score. Victories were scored over Brooklin and Brooksville, the latter game lifting us out of a tie with BfO0kSVill6 for -the cellar position in the League. THE GATHERER 31 Good work was exhibited at various times in the season by Frank McVeigh, Robert Betts, Frank Pickering, and Raymond Poitras, Poitras showing some sensational shooting in the Brooklin game at the end of the season. Progress of the team reflected the development 'of the guards, Whose outstanding Work in the last games brought us our triumphs and closest games. Most noticeable was the work of Myron Hardy, who became the team's most valuable player, not shooting, but through Hoorwork, guarding, and general team play. Charles Poitras, Chummie Milan, and Charles Barbour gave evidence that they will be able to take over next year Where the Seniors left off. Outstanding scoring feats were turned in by Robert Betts in the first Penobscot game 15 points, Frank McVeigh in the second Brooksville game 15 points, and Raymond Poitras in the second Brooklin game 16 points. The foul shooting of McVeigh was generally excellent, as he averaged forty per cent for the season. e Letters were awarded to Co-Captains Raymond Poitras and Frank McVeigh, Myron Hardy, Robert Betts, Frank Pickering, Robert Has- kell, and Man-ager Gilbert Taylor. Numerals went to Charles Poitras and Lindsey Milan. The gold basketball for foul shooting was won by Frank McVeigh, and that for the most valuable player went to Myron Hardy.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL Although We had talked about starting a basketball team for sev- eral years, it was never possible to have one until -this year. VVe began by playing volleyball on the field beside the school for two. periods a week. Then Robert Haskell and Myron Hardy put up a backboard and we began to practice after school and on weekends. The Saturday after the Fair -the boys painted the Town Hall iloor, and practice began in earnest. Our practices were Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, the first one being on November 12. Seventeen girls went out for basketball. The starting lineup for the first game was, Elizabeth Hill, center, Clara Howard and Mary Alice Barbour forwards, and Marjorie Hill, M-,u'jori,e Haskell and Christine Dunham guards. Our opponent, Penob- scot, doubtless anticipating an easy victory were surprised to find us leading through the first half, -though by a small margin. The greater game experience of the opponents finally enabled them to overtake us and go on to a 51 to 35 victory. In both of our next games we were de- feated, by Blue Hill and Brooksville. Our first victory was over the alninni on January 12. Our lirst interscholastic victory was over Ston- ington two days later at the lied Barn. In this game Stonington held a four and live point lead over most of the first three quarters. However We closed up the gap in an exciting linish, pulled out a 20-18 victory. THF GATI-ll7l1EB 33 The opening game of the second half of the schedule provided us with our next great moment. Watch that number 1S, shouted the Penob- scot ians time and again, but in spite of it, Lucy rolled up 34 points, as we exactly reversed the tables on our foes, 51-E5, on their own lloor. The league-leading Blue Hill team next rolled into town, undefeated. Mach to everyoneis surprise, we jumped off to a quick lead and at the half were at the front 14-5. With less than three minutes to go we still led, and it wasn't until the last minute that Blue Hill got ahead and won the game. Considering the score of the first game, we feft we had come Z1 long way. Our last two games, with Stonington and Brooklin, were easy victories. The season has been most satisfactory both in the results and in the spirit shown by the team members. Starting with a group of girls who had never played the game, the team, tied for the cellar position after three games, worked itself up to third place in the league and to the undisputed championship of the Island. Much of this was due to the eHorts of the substitutes, who by their faithful attendance and practice and their spirit helped the team achieve its record. At a spring assembly letters and numerals were awarded. Those receiving letters were Co-captains Marjorie Hill '47 and Lucy Small '50, Mary Alice Barbour '48, Elizabeth Hill '48, Cornelia Billings '49, Sylvia Eaton ,49, Marjorie Haskell '47, and Manager Rosamond Ea- ton '-17. The gold basketballs for foul shooting were awarded for guards to joan Howard '50, and forwards to Elizabeth Hill '48. The gold basket- ball for outstanding player went to Cornelia Billings '49. The scores of the girls' games were as follows: Penobscot 51 McKinley 35 Penobscot 35 McKinley 51 Blue Hill 63 McKinley 9 Blue Hill 23 McKinley 18 Brooksville '57 McKinley 7 Brooksville 27 McKinley 10 Alumni 26 McKinley 29 Castine 35 McKinley 21 Stonington 18 McKinley 20 Stonington 9 McKinley 29 Brooklin 35 McKinley 13 Brooklin 7 McKinley 20 The scoring was as follows: F JG.

Oh, these are thank you notes. Thank you notes! Thanks for what?'i l'Vell, take this one for instance. This one goes to Mr. Edwards to bc printed in the Messenger. You remember that fair we had last fall? Well, for weeks everyone was busy. The Seniors were in every- body's orchards gathering apples to be used for cider. The juniors were making popcorn balls and decorating their ice cream booth at the Town Hall. The Sophomores were dashing from house to house asking for wihite elephants and grabs and selling tickets on a decorated cake. As for the freshmen, they were a sight to behold. They came from all directions laden with donations of squashes, potatoes, pumpkins, turnips, and every known variety of vegetables. The eighth grade was not to be outdone with their collection of -baked beans, brownbread, and home canned foods. The night of the fair people came from miles around. We made enough to supply most of our basketball needs. Now do you see why we are sending this note of thanks to the townspeople? WVith- ou-t their support the fair would not have been a success. These next letters are going to the public spirited business rnen who donated nine of our basketball suits. Letis see, here's Barter Lum- ber, Haskell and Pickering, S. Pickering and Son, Beck's Market, E. W. Haskell, A. B. Bray, A. C. Heanssler, A. E. Marshall, and the Fl1'611'l6H,S Association. Believe me, we are more than grateful to these men. Here's another letter addressed to Mr. Edwards. lim asking him 'to print this note in his paper also. You know, last ye-ar we had our animal magazine drive. For two weeks the boys and girls were canvassing the town for subscriptions. There was a hotly contended contest be- tween the boys and girls which the boys finally won. VVe made a nice profit, thanks to our parents and friends, who saved their subscriptions for us. In some instances l'1n afraid that we caused the busy people much inconvenience. This one goes to the F iremen's Association. You see, the Fir-emen have done much toward obtaining a suitable athletic field. Looking over possible locations, -they wrote to Dr. Fred S. Powers, who is an alumnus of McKinley High School, about a large tract of land in his possession. To our delight he gave this land to be used for our athletic field. We are most grateful to Dr. Powers. Being blessed with generous summer people and inhabitants, we have also a fund, which is steadily growing, for improving and maintaining the Athletic Field. Last but not least, is' a note of appreciation to our principal and coach, Mr. Matheson. Through- his generous gift of time and eifort we have obtained much equipment and have established two fairly good basketball teams. . Do you see now, Webb, Why I've written these letters? See why, Haskell? I certainly do! THE GATHERER 37 THE- SECOND BATTLE By BEVERLY DUNHAM, '47 Late summer lay over the midwestern farm of the jones family. Acres and acres of wheat stretched over the rolling plains. The house and great barn were set on a kind of plateau, half way up a rolling slope. It was a modern farm with terraced ditches, smooth rich Hel-ds, new fences, and remodeled farm buildings. It had just come over the radio that a squadron of planes was taking off from Squadee Airport, to spray and halt the swarm of locusts that were coming from the northwest. , Anxious faces scanned the skies. Inside the I-ones farmhouse, every- one was unnaturally quiet. Would their wheat crop be des-troyed before the planes arrived? No, it just couldn,t bel Not after they had spent all their time and energy making it the best looking Held of wheat in the county. Trudy, the youngest, broke the silence by comforting her mother and brother, who were very tense and quiet. ' Mother, just think what this would have meant a hundred years ago. Everything will be all right, you just wait and see.', jeff, the only son, who had been fidgeting, suddenly spoke up. That reminds me! Let's go up in -the attic and hunt through that old trunk, Trudy. just for something to do. Mom, y-ou said we could, some day. XfVe'll put things back where We found them. All right children, but don't bother your father, whatever you dof, Equipped with flashlights and keys, they put the ladder into place. jeff ascended first, then Trudy. The lock was old and rusty, but with help of a hammer they had brought along, they managed to lift the heavy cover. On top was a black wool robe. Underneath was a variety of things including a long white lace wedding dress. i'1t's pretty, but awfully old fashioned, donit you think? ventured Trudy. It must have been great-grandmother EfHe's. T' A Then there was a layer of all sorts of books. '11here were hymn books, cookbooks, an old Bible, and among them a black leather diary. They Hashed the light on the Erst page they opened to- Scarsdale, New York, April 16, 1852 - Wednesday - warm weather is on the way. We are preparing for a journey. John went into town today for supplies. With a shriek of delight Trudy descended the ladder. She sat in the kitchen and read the account aloud. T his is the story that it told: It was during the winter of 1868 when newly married john and Eflie made up their minds to go west, and in April of 1869, they set out well provided for. They traveled over beautiful country, and the land- scape changed almost daily. By August they were at their claim there. The homestead consisted of 500 acres of land, all to be theirs if they would stay there and work the land for five years. Their home was built of sod, and was made for the expected gales and blizzards. Winter came and went. Preparations were being made for the spring planting. The persistent snows melted, and creek overflowed its banks. 38 THE GATHERER Weeks later the green wheat was waist high. Late in Iuly the weather was hot and muggy. The wheat would be ready for cutting in a couple of weeks. A few mornings later Efhe was doing her housework, when she happened to glance out the window. She froze with terror, she couldn't move, she couldn't speak! A gigantic black cloud wass moving swiftly over the sun, blotting out its light. Grasshoppers! Mil- lions of them! And the wheat-. john was shouting for her to set fire to the field around the wheat. He was driving the horses around the whea t, making a ditch to protect it. The grasshoppers were dropping now by the hundreds! Effie was trying to keep the iire from jumping to the wheat. The insects cmnched sickeningly under her feet. They were everywhere, in her hair, in her clothes, in her shoes-she was exhausted. john told her to go in and rest. She got supper. At last he came ing hisshair was singed, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was grimy with smoke. He sank to the bench listlessly. The next day not a spear of grass was left on the prairie. It's all gone, Eflie. Not even enough left for seedf, She reassured him. It'll be all right. We'll get started again some- how. At least we have our savings. And so time went on. They got their new farmhouse. Their dreams had come true through the years. Time moves forward nearly a century. Over that same farm in 1946 there is a monotonous drone in the dis- tance. The squadronl The tiny specks grow larger and the drone in- creases. Now the planes are ilying low over the .great fields, a white poisonous liquid spraying from the jets at the tails of the planes. The grasshoppers have scarcely landed. Millions are intercepted in midair by the deadly liquid. About twenty minutes later the planes dipped their wings in salute and headed toward the west. An hour later the men were scraping up shovelfulls of the scaly insects and dumping them into wheelbarrows, to be hauled off and buried. The wheat stood tall and g-olden. This was the same wild land that two people had tamed so many years before. A row of cottonwood trees protected thewhite farmhouse on the northwest. A silo loomed above the great barn. The 'August sun was brightsupon the ripe wheat. Yes, they could be .proud of their inheritance. They were proudl THE GATHERER 39 A FISHING TRIP By WILBUR MacDONALD, ,49 The sun was just rising when Dad and I started on our fishing trip. The sky was very blue and the green water was as calm as could be. The day before, we had fixed our boat and fish lines so that they would be ready in the morning. Our boat was in a little cove on Penobscot Bay. YVe planned to go off sh-ore about ten miles. Our boat, a small power boat, wouldnit go very fast, but we made good time just the same. VVhen we reached the fishing grounds, I went up front and cast the anchor overboard. It wen-t into the water with a big splash. When it had hit bottom I put the end of the hawser throu-gh the chocks and tied it to the bits. Then I went down aft and we got our lines out, put some clams -on the hooks, and threw the lines overboard. When they struck bottom we hauled them up about six feetg then we waited for a bite. ' The sun was up quite high now, and it was shining down on us with a bright, warm light. Dad was the first to get a bite. He hauled in a big rock cod. The fish had started to bite. We pulled in fish after fish. We kept this up until about two oiclock and then we started for home. It had rbreezed up some now, and once in a while- a wave would hit our boat just right, sending spray high into the air. Sometimes the wind would catch the wet spray and blow it into our faces. ' VVe reached home about three o'clock. We put our boat to the mooring, loaded our fish into a rowboat, and took them ashore. Then we trudged homeward, tired, happy, and successful. 40 THE CATHERER THE RESERVOIR RAOOSTERS - By A. DOWE EATON The usual time that roosters roost is at dusk, but the Reservoir Roosters are apt to be at roost at any time of the day, that is, morning, noon or night. The Reservoir is a low square structure with a very slanting roof. On the inside are two trap doors for obtaining water. It is the railing in front of this edifice that, with its view of the school buildings, the Har- bor and all incoming and outgoing traffic to the Bridge, serves as seats for schoolboys. lt all starts when the bus comes in in the morning. One fellow who wants candy from the Harbor, or wishes to enjoy a cigarette sits on the rail by the Reservoir. Others, walking by, stop to talk to him, and the line keeps growing till the rail is cover-ed. Some of the roosters crow While still others flap their wings at chickens passing by. VVhen the first bell rings, everybody dashes for the schoolhouse, leaving the Reservoir with a vacant perch. At noon, after lunch is over, the rail is again covered, some reading the daily paper, others dispu-ting about a geometry theorem. Of course boys are not noted for gossip, but there seems to be plenty going on. Basketball and football get all worn out before the bell rings for after- noon session. They again forega-ther at 3:00, but not for long, because there is usually basketball practice or some other interest which gives them much more pleasure than sitting on a rail. Alas for the roosters in cold and stormy winter Weather. No perch- ing in comfort then! And, we often wonder, what would happen if the rail by the Reservoir was permanently taken down? I believe that the Reservoir itself would have to bear the Weight of the ten or twelve roosters, as it is the mid-point between the school and the restaurant. 7 , ti 4. THE GATHERER 41 Voyage in Old Ironsides By GILBERT TAYLOR, '47 One day I thought Trl take a trip And use a washtub for a ship, A worn-out sheet used as a sail W'ould take me through the greatest gale. I sailed the seas from here to Asia Without a compass or any measure. But, not to be bragging, I got safe home, No more to sail the frothy foam. VVhen I awoke, the sun was bright, And all around me the sand gleamed white. I had not voyaged on the deep- I 'fl dreamed it on shore, a lad asleep! My End By DENISE SNOWMAN, 350 A new Buick hit me and knocked me down That's ail I can recall. VVhen I awoke, -my attending nurse Was white capped Lucy Small. The MD. was Charlie Poitras And he handled m.y case with care. He put me in a private room, With plenty of light and air. The time for visitors arrived And Carolyn and Gloria came ing They brought me some chocolates Joan had sent, And some cookies in a tin. A scrub woman came to wash the floor Brooksie was her name. No wonder she -was getting Gray, For she had married Duane. They called Reverend Elmer Spoford XVlzen they found I was getting worse, And undertaker Bruce Haskell Drove up in a big black hearse. When I arrived at the Golden Gate Archie Pickering greeted me, When I asked for Sa-int Peter He informed me, it was he. Two angels passed me a golden harp Now we drift o'er a cloudy sky, just ask for Norman Haskell, Raymond Poitras, and I. Ten Hours Behind the Bar CKen-Moorels Cafeb By Charlotte Hutchinson, ,48 If you spend ten hours behind the bar, Yozfll see odd people from near and far. For instance, the child with his penny lo spend, Standing there wishing he had ten. Bobby comes in with his small lady fair, Flashes a dime, and says, Take what's there. She asks for an ice cream-six cents, Bobby has water--Hels one of our gents. Some come and sit, but wait for the rush, Then theylll start calling for dinner and such. They're in such a. hurry, can't wait till it's ready, Cancel the order, Come on nerves, hold steadyf' Then comes the school rush, oh what a mob, Threatening the waitress, that she'll lose her job. If she llliliilllt speed up-snap out of her spel . For they have to be back at the ring of the bell. Then ai last, comes quarter past twelve, Out they all run with a whoop and a yell, The owners sit down a moment and sigh, For out in the kitchen, are dishes stacked high. In comes the girl who ca-n't make up her mind, Reads all the flavors to find the right kind. Says she wants chocolate, but waits till we dip, Then changes to a soda, and sits clown to sip. After these characters have all gone home, Out in the kitchen the waitresses iaoa-nz. They look at the dishes, almost to the ceiling, And wonder why customers aren't more appealing. - ' At last we can all sit down with a sigh, Another hard day has just gone by. To look into tomorrow would be looking too far, Into ten hours more behind the bar. 42 THE CATHERER BLACKS ON THE WING By FRANK PICKERING, '49 Sh-h-h! you old black dog. Sit in that basket and stop that whining before you have the whole family awake. I VVith these words I stepped out into the foggy grayness. All was white with frost, and the air was so tangy and sharp that I had to pull my earlappers down. Stepping into -the woods, I felt the intense quiet- ness. From off in the distance came the caw of a crow, as it went on its morning hunting trip. The sound made me quicken my pace, for I knew that dawn was approaching. As I was crossing a little brook, with the first signs of ice about its edges, I heard a snort, a crashing of :the under- brush, and the scrape of antlers, and a buck deer bounded away in fright. Forgetting the sounds of the woods, I soon became aware that I was near the clearing where Ben was to meet me. Stepping into the clearing, I found Ben waiting for me with a look of patience on his face. Hiyah, Pal. Where have you been all day?,' Overslept a little, I guess. All set?,' Yeah, what have you for a guu?', Oh, I brought the same old cannon. Letis go. There was very little conversation as we crept down to the blind which we had built the day before on the shore. Peeping over the top, we looked anxiously about to see if there were ducks anywhere in sight. There was not a moving thing to be seen except our string of decoys rising and falling gently on the swell of the incoming tide. Settling back and making ourselves comfortable, we began to wait for results. How still it was. The gentle lap, lap, lap, of the water on the shore had a lulling effect. The shrill cry of a sea gull now and then was the only other sound to break the stillness. Away in the East the sunis edge began to appear and in a few minutes the earth was bathed with dazzling light. Suddenly the trance the out of doors had laid over me was broken by a poke and a whisper, 'iHere they come. ' Instantly I became tense, with gun ready and with my eyes scan- ning the blue horizon. Then I saw them. It was a small flock, but all that we could handle. Then we heard the whirr of their wings as they came sliding in for a landing. There was a series of splashings as the birds hit the water. They were out of gun range but were rapidly swim- ming in. Soon the air was lilled with the contented quackings of feed- ing ducks. H-ow serenely they swam on the small waves that the 1'1'101'1'l- ing breeze had started. When they came within forty yards I nudged Ben. There was a crash as two guns went off together and then the sound of a few single reports. Not long after we were wearing big grins, as we swung olf toward home. And no wonder, for there were three black ducks dangling over Ben's shoulder and two over mine. With a happy 'TSO long ,till the next timef' we parted, and I headed for home. Opening the door, I yelled, Hi, Ma! Breakfast ready? Hey, you old black dog. Woof! Yes, sir, they're duckslv 1 '1 1 1 l l I J THE GATHERER 43 PITCHERS ON PARADE By CHRISTINE DUNHAM, '49 liver since I was a little girl, I have always loved going to my grandm-otheris house and standing in awe before the shelves that hold her most cherished possessions. This is a collection of milk and cream pitchers of every size, shape, color, and design. There are large pitchers with gay colored faces and tiny ones of clear glass with painted designs. Some are cracked with age, for she started this collection when she was only five years oldg others are sparkling with newness, the gifts of friends, who remember her beautiful collection and bring her new ones often. From all over the world these pitchers have come, from England, Canada, South America, Mexico, and from nearly every State in the Union. - One pitcher I like especially well. This is a very tiny one, with minute painting on the sides. This pitcher is kept in a small box with cotton over it, because it is so fragile. I also like a blue one with the Queen and King of England on it. This was brought across the ocean by one of her many friends. ' In spite of her ninety-four years, my grandmother takes her pitchers down each Spring and washes each of the five hundred separately. If one were broken it 'would be a real tragedy to her. For these pitchers are to my grandmother a connection with the world of her youth, and they hold many memories of people and places she used to know, 44 T THE GATHERER TRIBUTE TO G. TAYLOR By GILBERT TAYLOR, '47 During the past four years at M. H. S., G. Taylor has been one of the chief benefactors of the school. I-Ie has also been one of the most tolerant ones. The students of M. H. S. have always received his jokes with glee, joy, and much amusement. Every joke he ever told was screamingly funny. He never, during his stay at M. H. S. uttered a corny joke. The work of his pen was always received with much enthusiasm. Above all, I think that the students in the chemistry, geometry, English, and French classes appreciate his efforts in their behalf, namely, the great help he gave them in these studies. So, in conclusion, may I make a suggestion: I suggest that the students donate to this distinguished 'gentleman a gift of money sufficient to enable him to obtain gas for his motorbike, and provide for him a retirement fund, in cash. So to you, G. Taylor, I, and I am confident that the student body feeis the same way as I, extend my best wishes for a happy and pros- ous future.

To .start the eventful evening off, the class was given a turkey din- ner by the Alumni of McKinley High School. ' Later in the evening a welcome to the Class of 1946 was given by Annabelle YVeed, with response by Myrtle Cllillingsj Brown. Katherine Milan presented musical selections which were greatly enjoyed by the class, Alumni members and guests. -A reading and trum- pet solo were rendered by Marvel Torrey and Mabel Haskell respect- ively. Next on the program was the long dreaded thing called initiation, in charge of Erma YVeed and Karlotta Beach. Everyone in the class did his part and enjoyed it as much as the spectators. After the class had been made members of the Alumni Association, the business meeting, the lastevent of the evening, took place. The meeting closed with the singinglof America.
