The divine gift of liberty is God's recogni- tion of man's greatness and manis dignity. In liberty lies the sweetness of life and the power of growth. The loss of liberty is the loss of light and sunshine. Under the spell of great memories, humanity never has ceased to dream of liberty. Now and then, here and there, liberty had for a moment caressed humanity's brow. But not until the Star-Spangled Banner rose toward the skies, was liberty caught up in humanity's embrace in a great and abiding nation. In America the government takes from the liberty of the citizen only so much as is nec- essary for the welfare of the nation. In America there are no masters who govern in their own right, for their own interest, or at their own will. Ours is the government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Our Government is our own organized will. In America, rights begin with, and go up- ward from, the people. In other countries, even in those which are apparently the most free, rights begin with, and come downward from, the government. In America the liberty of the individual citizen remains intact at all times. Else- where there are governments called republics where, once established, the government at will invades private rights. One republic only is 1iberty's native home-America. GLENN FIFIELD '44. BENEFITS OF EDUCATION Unfortunately, few of us realize to what an extent education rules each individual throughout his entire life. Perhaps you think education is a waste of time. In a few cases we have to admit that education has done more harm than good. An example of this is the staggering number of crimes com- mitted in the United States every day. It is true that there is more organized crime in the United States. today than in any other country of the world. Many of our crimi- nals use their education to work out compli- cated methods by which they may outwit the police. However, we are able to educate our police much more thoroughly on this sub- ject, thereby keeping the police one jump ahead of the criminal underworld. Educa- tion affects the country as a whole, not merely the individual. You may believe that, if no one had a very high education, we would all be just as well off because we would all be on the same level of mental achievement. This would not be true, though. The nation at large would sufferg we would make no progress in any of the sciences and arts, as no one would be inter- ested in' bettering our civilization. Our standard of living would descend to that of any tribe of aborigines. At present the high standard of living in the United States ex- ceeds that of any other country. This fact is due to the extensive education which the youth of America fall heir to. We take our schools and everyday training so much for granted that we don't get the importance of its purpose. In many countries the cost of procuring an education is so great that only those lucky enough to be born into rich fam- ilies may benefit from this vital factor in present-day life. Today the trend is toward college work rather than being satisfied with a high school education. The high schools 4 M. F. H. S. PILOT train us in the fundamentals of every-day life, but colleges go into things more deeply and give us specialized training in various fields of interest. Many people think that college is impossible for those who have no money. This is not true. In-so-much as education betters a country in general, natu- rally everyone will try to help you get through college. Every college has some plan by which ambitious students may earn part or all of their room and board. Many scholarships are given each semester to those who can prove that they are worthy of such aid. Every person who is well-educated will advise you to go through college at any cost. More and more employers are hiring only college graduates today, so it is of decided value to you to go to college. If you want to go through college you can do it. Don't be afraid to try it. CARLETON C. QUINN '42. YOUR PART IN THE WAR All of us know that our country has been drawn into a second World War, yet few of- us realize how grave our situation really is. When we entered World War I there was little chance of being on the losing end, but today the case is extremely different. We can lose this war and with it our rights as citizens of a democratic nation. On the other hand we can, and must, win it. We all want to be victorious but many haven't as yet made themselves believe that they must do their part. During the last few months Civilian De- fense classes in first aid, nutrition, and home nursing have been formed in practically all our towns and cities regardless of size. Motor and canteen corps have been established and the defense leaders in every community have appointed several air raid wardens who are now being trained to recognize enemy air- craft, extinguish incendiary bombs, and per- form many other tasks which will be neces- sary in case our country is invaded. At the time of the last war, Liberty Bonds were sold to finance our loans to our allies as well as to equip and transport our own troops. Today our government has issued Defense Bonds and Savings Stamps which have been placed on sale at all the post oflices throughout the nation. In the thousands of cities and towns in our country, plans are underway for complete blackouts and possibly the evacuation of all women and children in case of air raids. In fact many of these communities have already had test raids. Perhaps you will think this foolish but it is generally agreed that it is an important factor in the protection of this country from an invader. Thousands of our physically fit men be- tween the ages of 21 and 28 are already serv- ing in our armed forces and every man be- tween the ages of 20 and 45 inclusive has registered. A great number of these will be conscripted within the next few months. Many of our soldiers have been transported to foreign battle fields and are faithfully do- ing their part to sink the Axis. u ARE YOU? IOHN TRINWARD '43. Xb ZR! X,-.3 f Q91 tn! 5, gr, XJ M. F. H. S.

The fifty-eight of us were accepted by the upper-classmen as members of the High School at the Freshman Recep- tion, which was given to us by the Activities Association. For three and a half days be- fore this, we had tried to entertain an appre- ciative audience by obligingly wearing our clothes backward, with unmated stockings, and green bows. In addition to this the boys had to carry dolls, and the girls wore their hair parted in the center back, tied with the green ribbons, the former curtsied to Seniors, while the latter gallantly bowed whenever they met a member of the dignified gradu- ating class. At our First class meeting the following ollicers were elected: President ...... . A . Betty Quinn Vice-President ..,,.. Iane Young Secretary ,....... Dorothy Holmes Treasurer ........ Donna Walker The Freshman Social took place Novem- ber 28th, in the gym. Song guessing contests were held, a dance was enjoyed, and we sold refreshments of fudge, cookies, and punch. Many of our class have gone out for sports. Lucille Bartlett, Iuanita Berry, Iane Spiller, and Carolyn Mitchell, Charles DeBiase, Harold Purington, Donald Russell, Robert Barnard, Richard Sargent, and Walter Man- chester went out for girls' and boys' basket- ball. The hockey team was practically made up of Freshmen, namely: David Bryant, Earle Lothrop, Dudley Walker, Wallace Merrill, Floyd Reynolds, Harold Purington, and Allen Rivers. Dexter McMorran, Wallace Merrill, Paul Murray, and Allen Rivers were on the cross country squad, while Dudley Walker, Floyd Reynolds, Har- old Purington, and Donald Russell went out for football. The freshmen have also taken an active part in the musical organizations of the school. The band includes Iuanita Berry, Lucille Bartlett, Glennis Seavey, Marilyn Mortimer, Arlene Berry, Iane Young, Alice Maxim, Betty Quinn, Dorothy Holmes, and Barbara Purington. The orchestra: Alice Maxim, Arlene Berry, Donna Walker, Wal- ter Manchester, Marilyn Mortimer, Iuanita Berry, Glennis Seavey, Iane Young, Gerald Grant, Dudley Walker, Earle Lothrop, and Lucille Bartlett. The freshmen were also well represented in the Glee Clubs. Although our class has been busy in school activities, we have not neglected our studies. Several freshmen names have appeared on Honor Rolls during the year. Our class has lost several of its members, but we have welcomed one newcomer, Hil- ton Campbell. Iane Young l-45.

Although we had few victories, we had some close competition, losing many games by a margin of only a few points. This year the team is losing two guards, Betty Tees and Marjorie VVilson. The re- maining squad is made up mostly of juniors, many of whom saw active duty in the ma- jority of games.

BOYS' SPORTS All of our teams this year have shown a vast improvement over the past. No one, having seen them in action, can deny that special credit is due the hockey and basket- ball teams for turning in such a victorious season. The sportsmanship and teamwork that any opposing team has always found here prevailed just as much as ever. The football team was not quite so for- tunate in victories, but the season showed some very good prospects for next year's team. The squad, ably coached by Mr. Willett, consisted of Domenic DeBiase and Donald Russell, quarter-backs, Norman Sawyer, Dudley Walker and Harold Puring- ton, half-backs, Ivan Reynolds, Durward Piper and Floyd Reynolds, full-backs, Philip Davis, Albert Merrill and Philip Vigeant, centers, Carleton Quinn, right-end, Iohn Trinward and Glenn Fifield, left-ends.

THE CALL OF THE SEA It was on the twenty-fourth day of April, in the year 1900, that the Patsy I. was due into port, having been away from the little town of Rocky Point for over two years. Old Ieffery Dunn was its captain and, although he spent very little of his time on land, he had always claimed this small town as his home. Therefore, it seemed that everyone in town, even the small children, had either known or heard of Old Captain Dunn. The day dawned bright and fair, the sky above was azure blue, dotted here and there with great white Heecy clouds which showed that spring was well on its way. The sun, sparkling on the deep blue ocean, reflected rays of gold and aquamarine, forming a perfect background for the homecoming. A large group of people stood on the pier watching a speck on the horizon grow into the form of a three-masted schooner which they knew to be the Patsy I. Among those who were anxiously awaiting the arrival of the ship, was the captain's daughter, Elizabeth Ann, and his sister Matilda, who cared for the little girl. There were two reasons why Elizabeth was so thrilled on this happy day. First, she was to see again her father whom she adored, and second, before this long voyage the captain had promised his daughter that if fortune favored him, he would, on his return, retire from the sea which he so dearly loved, and for the first time in their lives they would live together. All at once there were great outbursts of cries and shouts mingled with the creaking, scraping sounds of the Patsy I. as she bumped gently against the pier. It was just at the moment when the captain placed his two feet on the pier, that he felt two arms encircling him. Father! Father! sobbed the girl as she hugged and kissed the old captain whose eyes were filled with tears of emotion. The captain held his daughter at arms length, exclaiming, Elizabethl You certainly have grown since I left you. The three happy people then returned to the little home on the summit of a hill that overlooked the mighty sea. As the captain was true to his promise, many happy days followed for the Dunn -z.' 'jimf l M. F. H. S. PILOT 23 family. Each day, whether fair or cloudy, the captain, accompanied by his daughter, would go down to the pier to swap sea tales with the other fishermen. On the return home as they climbed the hill the two would always gaze out across the great expanse of water with longing eyes. Although it was never mentioned, she knew what was in his heart, but little did he realize how deep was her desire for him to stay with her. As the captain was unused to a life of idleness, he planted a garden which for a time took up his attention. Then one day without Elizabeth's knowl- edge, Captain Dunn went to Bath to see if he could get a job repairing boats. While there a former mate said to him, I've got a crew all ready to sail to the West Indies, but the captain was suddenly taken ill. Why don't you sign up, Dunn? It's a dandy little schooner, I know you'd like her. Dunn was torn between desire and duty, but his great love of the sea finally conquered him and he accepted. But how was he to tell Elizabeth? Knowing it would break her heart he decided to put it off as long as possible. Matilda was informed, however, and in- structed not to mention it to the little girl. The next day Elizabeth noticed a strange- ness about her father which she had not seen since he had been living at home. He had a cheerful air about him and a new gleam in his eye. All this pleased Elizabeth for she thought that he was at last happy living on the land. Iefff' called Matilda, shall I pack your - but it was too late - Elizabeth had heard. Father! she cried. There, there, pleaded Ieff, I didn't mean for you to know so soon-I - please, dear, try to understand-- With a desperate effort Elizabeth smiled and said, Dad, will you bring me a new doll when you come home again?

So it was in the days of the Civil War and so it is today. uV',ictory will come only from an undivided effort on the part of every citi- zen of our great country. Whether he is the beggar in the street or a member of the President's Cabinet, he must do his part untiringly. What has to be done will un- doubtedly not be all pleasure, but it must be performed as cheerfully and thoroughly as the most joyous task. . At the present time our country is engaged in a great confiict between the democratic, peace-loving nations and three nations whose crazed rulers-namely, Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito,-have permitted their minds to become affected by their greed for terri- tory and authority. These Axis powers ap- pear to be united against our country and its allies. It is believed, however, that when the time comes when these barbarians have their backs against the wall, this partnership will dissolve and they will become enemies of one another. This is not unity but simply a means of acquiring strength. This strength cannot be counted on to last forever, as will undoubtedly be proved by the outcome of this war. Gur unity must not be of this type. Our allies and we ourselves must unite into one great power with a single goal in mind. We must bring peace, comfort, and prosperity to the world, and do away with these fiends and their selfish beliefs so that the earth will never again be molested by such evil-minded tyrants. Today, with the world in an uproar, America and three of her allies have formed what is known as the A. B. C. D. Powers. This stands for the Americans, British, Chinese, and Dutch respectively. These powers have united to protect one another's possessions and rights in the Pacific, and from the latest communiques they are car- rying out their assignments satisfactorily. The Iapanese struck a telling blow on Hawaii behind our backs, but they will be amply repaid. As Bob Hope stated on a recent radio broadcast, People who live in 4 24 M. F. H. grass houses shouldn't throw bombs, and We won't bury the hatchet until we bury the Axis. It is an established fact that a body of united and organized troops can easily con- quer a horde of ununited and straggling soldiers. We have this united army but it must have weapons and ammunition with which to fight. We also possess an adequate and efficient navy and air corps but they also must have equipment. With our mills and factories on a war-time basis of seven days a week, we are probably manufacturing war materials faster than any other nation. Our finances are far from inexhaustible, however. Therefore taxes must rise to meet the demand. Many citizens object heartily to this, but I think they would choose it in preference to being governed by an Axis ruler. Defense bonds and stamps have been placed on sale by the federal government to help ofiset this great expenditure. With the help of every citizen: this plan will provide necessary funds to wipe the Axis ofi' the map and bring peace to the world. Until that great day when the world is freed from these war-crazed rulers, let us keep that V for Victory in our minds and Remember Pearl Harbor. Iohn Trinward '43. BOMBERS ABOVE Feeble rays of early morning sunlight in- vestigated with curiosity the small, dirty, crumpled form of humanity which lay mo- tionless as a stone. Then, as though encour- aged by the ever increasing symphony of birds' songs, the sun peeked cautiously over the horizon and boldly shed its golden light upon a still sleepy World. A faint breeze shook the sparkling dewdrops from the young green grass and playfully stirred the buds of the maple tree. On second look one was startled to see a huge crater blasted out of the earth. Near the crater lay that still figure. The breeze blew a wisp of hair across the forehead, a bird hopped about it inquisitively, the sun shone more warmly, but the Figure failed to move. S. PILOT A few yards away was a wooden door, which evidently opened into an air raid shelter dug into the side of a hill. The door now opened and out came a woman who was apparently about fifty years of age. Why, no, she wasn't either, it was just those awful deep lines around her mouth and the worried look in her eyes. She cupped her hands to her mouth and called, Bobbie, Bobbie, then her eyes fell upon the small crumpled figure and she stared in unbeliefg then she sobbed brokenly for she knew Bobbie would not answer. Thelma Prince '44. ODE TO ME Of all the things upon this earth, Only one is very near-3 Yet while I should know this best, It is to me, so odd, so queer. So distant in relation. So locked, without a keyg Yet this mysterious question . Is only simply ME. Robert G. Campbell '42, MYSTERY AT MIDNIGHT I awoke with a start! I glanced at the clock and shuddered when I realized it was 12, midnight. As I glanced toward the win- dow I suddenly lay stiff and prone in my bed. Had I imagined it, or had I actually heard the faint creak of the stairs leading to my room? Again I heard crunch-crunch- crunch, as if someone were prowling about down stairs. I finally mustered enough bravery to creep cautiously to the stairs and peer down into the inky darkness, only to look into a pair of eyes that resembled live coals smoldering at the end of the evening. I gave one look and yelled as I never had before, but no sound came. The eyes of that thing turned away and still I heard the steady crunching, but how could that thing be cautiously walking when I could see it with my own eyes? What a problem! Sud- denly it became soluble before my very eyes. The door to my brother's study opened and sent out a thin stream of light, playfully centering on the object of my attraction. There on the rug at the foot of the stairs M. F. H. S. PILOT 25 was my brother's dog, Princess, gnawing on a bone. What a scare! Gloria Harwood '44. A TRAMP A tramp is as much a man of the world as the leading citizen or even more so. Sur- rounded by poverty, he smiles and lets the rest of the world go by, for, what cares has he except for where his next meal is coming from? His dirty ragged garments barely clinging to his frame bother him not. He is free, much more so than the business man. His worries are few, and he can laugh with feeling, he can enjoy the thrill of living. Compared with the richest banker he is a man of wealth. He understands nature bet- ter than one who makes a study of it. His heart leaps up at the beauty of his surround- ings. Do we feel like this tramp? Do we appreciate these things as he? No, we carry the worries of the world upon our shoulders. We see no beauty, all we see is the coming poverty which threatens us. We tremble at the thought of the days to come, but the tramp looks forward with eagerness, smiling, unafraid, enjoying every minute of his living. We hurry, hurry, hurry, just to keep up with time and when we have done hurrying we realize that we have lost the best things that we could have in life. But-the tramp, the good for nothing tramp, loses nothing but fame and fortune. The tramp, whom we look upon with scorn, indeed, he is more worthy of envy. Marjorie Spiller '44. THE THREE BRAVATEERS It was an eerie night that enveloped the little bungalow on Sunnyside's main boulevard. The rain beat a steady tattoo on the roof and the wind whistled around the corners as if it had just obtained a new lease on life. Inside was a very woebegone group of three people: my sister, my brother, and I. Of course the weather' was very depressing but the straw that broke the camel's back was the fact that mother was miles away, presumably enjoying herself. We weren't scared, you understand, but it was rather lonesome. Finally, after we had worn our thumbs out and our faces were fairly aching from the effort of keeping a wide assuring grin pinned on them, we decided to go to bed. VVas that someone at the door? asks little sister. Oh gosh! I gasp. No, it's only the wind QI hopejf' Tension relaxes a little until I whisper, VVas that someone at the window in the sewing room? You go see, Elt. So Elt gulps once and bravely starts toward the sewing room. The verdict is tensely awaited, the minutes tick off like hours, until Elt ex- plodes, Darn that cat- if I ever catch her - rolling a spool around like that - at night, too. At last lights are out and on the surface it seems to be very calm and peaceful. Hours pass by and although artificial snores can be heard, not once have we closed our eyes. Then like a shot in the dark, a terrific pop is heard. Heads immediately disappear un- der the bed clothes. Another pop is heard, another, and still another. What could it be? Pirates, burglars? I left my three cent stamp on the desk. Finally I became really brave and said, Bet, you can go see what it is, your slippers are right there. G--gosh why the s--sudden burst of g--generosity? Elt-are y--you s--still there? W--why clon't you g-go? Time flies and one would swear that a conga band was loose, complete with casta- nets fteethj and drums fkneesj. Then with another sudden burst of manly protective- ness, Elt tiptoes down the stairs to see what was roaming around. Doesn't the clock tick awfully loud? It must be at least three- quarters of an hour since he left-suppose Bet should go down? All these thoughts were racing through my mind. Presently the house is as light as day. fMother will need an aspirin when she gets the light bill.j 26 M. F. H. S. PILOT Oh giminy, groans Elt from the kitchen, Mother got too much yeast in the root beer, again. E. S. '44. THE TRIUMPH Br-r-r-r, goes the last bell warning the re- luctant Latin Class on its way. The six very unstudious looking students wearily place Catsar under their arms and, dragging one foot after the other, proceed to mount the stairs. Their facial expressions are similar to those of six men hanging on a silk thread over a ledge. Shirley, the bravest of these two trium- virates, cautiously peeks around the door and boldly enters. So we come, with Phyllis bringing up the rear. Meanwhile the clock has been galloping along like Paul Revere and it is now ten minutes since the last bell rang. Imperator Nelson raps for order and the study students Hnally subside to their books. Only the rustle of leaves and the squeak of Erma's seat as she hunts through sheaves of paper for her translation, can be heard. Miss Abbott will please proceed, com- mands our Imperator. Shirley draws a long breath and begins to translate one of Ca:sar's most breathtaking paragraphs, it's all one sentence. Bessie, when it comes her turn, declares, I've got all the words, but I'll be darned if I can make 'um make sense. About now Ioyce pipes up and wants to know why Caesar wasn't shot before he ever had a chance to write paragraphs of one sen- tence! After everyone has Hnished translating, Miss Nelson gives the assignment and every- one goes busily to work-asking questions about phrases. Thelma, obviously engaged in doing her assignment, suddenly waves her hand in the air and says, What would you use as a meaning of pero if you were me? The book says it means: go to, make for, to get secure, demand, ask, request, and to be a candidate for. I just can't figure out which one to use. Miss Nelson suggests look for and Thelma looks blank, for that meaning isn't even given. She sighs and looks at Miss Nelson as one does upon a genius. At last as the bell announces relief, every- one puts his brain in storage until next Latin Class, and slides down in his seat to a half lying position of utter exhaustion. Finally, revived by the smell of food from the Home Economics room we stand auto- matically and follow the aroma of cooking food which means dinner and home. Thelma Prince and Erma Shaw '42. THE RESULT OF OVER EATING The most interesting room I ever saw was -well, it happened like this, and I still think the three hot dogs, two ice-cream sodas, and nearly a pound of candy I had just eaten could not have had anything to do with it. At bedtime I felt all right. I turned out the lights and was listening to some of Glenn Miller's sweet music on the radio. The next thing I knew I was walking down a lonely road in front of a farm house. A nice little old lady who was sitting on the doorstep asked me if I'd like a drink of water, for it was very warm. It was a modern kitchen in which I got a drink, then she asked me if I'd like to come into her living room. She went into the room, but I got only as far as the door. I didn't believe such a room was possible! From where I was standing the first thing I saw was the wall opposite me. Except for the one window which was in the exact middle, the wall was covered with black satin on which were hung pictures, mostly snapshots. She explained that in- stead of keeping pictures in an album, she preferred to have them where she could see them. The window had heavy gold brocade curtains. The floor was hard wood and very slippery, but I ventured on it. On the floor in front of the window was a large, hand- some black vase that looked very expensive. She asked me to come over to it. She said, This is where I keep my husbandf, All I saw were some ashes in the bottom. On one side of the room were shelves built like cages and in them were white mice and rabbits. They were separated by a couch which had the head of it built in the wall. The couch was covered with black satin and on it was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. I screamed, I think. I kept wishing I could get out of the place, but something seemed to hold me, so I looked toward the other side of the room, wondering what came next in this dreadful place. On this side was a large glassed-in case. 'In it were curios from every country. There was a scalp with beautiful, long golden hair and in the middle was the head of a man. It looked very real and had a horrid expression of fear on its features. I looked toward the door, wondering how I could get out of the place, when something above it caught my attention. A shelf had been built over the door on which was a skull, and on the skull sat a raven, the most wicked-looking one there ever was, I think. -til S. PILOT 27 I screamed again and this time so loud that I woke myself upg and ohl What a relief! Norma Drisko '42, THE ROOM NVAS IN A RIOT The room was in a riot when the teacher left her class. I looked around, but couldn't see a studious lad or lass. I wanted to be a sociable soul, so I joined in the roar. But all the time with a guilty mind, my eye was on the door. Someone threw an eraser, it bounced against a chair, And all at once, with a mighty force, several Latin books filled the air. But oh! that Jacob Jackson, the smart Alec of the school, VVas having fun with an old squirt gun, splashing ink in bright blue pools. The back of the room was calming down, but the front was in full action, The biology class was killing flies, and proved an added attraction.

Of course coming from such a small town you all must think we don't know nuthin' much but sometimes you never can tell what will come from these towns and for proof of our experiments we took a leetle trip to exchange yearbooks with a few other towns. Chronicler-Paris High School A very good literary department and the paper shows a great deal of work. Eureka- Woodstock High School A very good editorial section, but how about more comments on exchanges. Caduceus-Norway High School This paper shows a great deal of work, but why not a larger exchange section. Solqolgis Warrior-Limington Academy We suggest the senior pictures be put nearer the front. A very good exchange section. I. H. S. Breezes-Iay High School Class news was written up very nicely. The book was very nicely compiled. Crimson Rambler-Standish High School A very nice looking book. An excellent joke section. Cantonia- Canton High School How about a few comments in the ex- change section. A very well arranged book.

Sea Breeze-Thomaston High School Your joke section is extremely Hne. Solqolgis-Limerick High School The editorial section was very complete. An excellent paper, neat and well- arranged. Megunticoolq-Camden High School Suggest all advertisements be put in back of book. Your exchange section was unique. ' Northern Light:-Stearns High School A very good activities section and a well- arranged book. Four Corners-Scarboro High School A very good joke section. An extremely well-written book. Whirlpool - Pennell Institute A very good literary section. How about a bigger exchange section? Tazzler-Rangeley High School Suggest more write-ups on activities. After I had Finished visitin' all these towns I headed for our dear old Alma Mater. See- ing as this invention has turned out so well, we had the wonderful idea of giving it to the Government but just as we landed a gust of wind came up and made us slip sideways to a crash. We crawled out of the wreckage and just as we were recovering our senses the wreck started to burn. As the plans were all inside, the miracle-ship is lost. This is a great loss to our country. , 4 M.
