I u N I - -. -- cccc calc Y , l V i l THE 1946 PEP PAGE THREE D ILY BREEZES SEPTEMBER The school is almost overfiowing with students. The enrollment is three hundred sixty plus a few. lt's too far to walk to the office to find out exact- ly, after the tiresome first day. The teachers must have liked us last year. They're all back with the exception of Mr. Brown. Mr. Lapham is taking his place. It's too soon to tell what he's like. The enrollment is going up, a few were a day late getting here, probably resting up after the summer vacation. Assembly today with Mr. Thomas giving us his ideas of what school is for. Sounds serious. The eighth grade needs a lot of intro- ducing to lots of things, among them the book situation. They'll wear themselves out if they really study the armfuls of books they carry home, besides putting us in the wrong. We got out ten minutes early this noon after a rally for the game with Cony tomorrow. If the outcome of the game depends on our cheering, we were told, we're sure to lose. We can't seem to do things right-too quiet at rallies and too noisy in corri- dors. Record dance tonight. Cony swamped us last Saturday. Mr. Cobb is making sure everyone sees all and hears all by his annual testing of eyes and ears. It would be hopeless to try to get most of us to know all . 'Clarence' spoke to us in assembly about selling magazines. Our goal is 5225.00 net. Rosalie Jamison and John Whytock are in charge of the contest. ' The Juniors received their class rings. One Sophomore girl is Bashing one so soon. Fast work. J ' Softball is under way with Mr. Norton as coach. Rally for the first home game. Wilton won Saturday. Everything seems to be going wrong on this blue Monday, even the magazine sales. Some ambitious Senior sold one sub- scription. Barbara Mawhinney does not think much of the Seniors' sales- manship. There's a lot of, talk about skipping school this week to go to the Andover fair. We don't quite dare, Mr. Thomas might not like it. Debating is being resumed with Miss Bragoli as sponsor. The band held its first practice during activity period. From now on they'll practice every Tuesday. Rally for the game with Farmington. Coach Cobb thinks it's time we won a game. A ocToBER We didn't win the game Saturday. Four new pupils came in today. Mex- ico High is getting popular. There are quite a few pupils from Dixfield. Band practice, Student Council meet- ing, and lots of talk about the Fresh- man initiation that's scheduled for Friday night. Some of the Freshman girls are having their hair done Thurs- day so they'1l look beautiful at the reception Friday night. Wait till the Sophomores get through with it Fri- day morning. Wow! It's money thrown away, Freshies. The magazine campaign didn't go so well-too big a year last year with the two-year subscriptions. The furnace broke down, so we had to go home to keep warm. p The Freshmen came to school all dressed upf' Four of the boys couldn't take it. The Freshies expressed their great devotion to the Sophomores and proved it by carrying their books for them. Rally for the game with St. Dom's. We won a game Saturday and we really did win it. The Seniors selected their graduation announcements and name cards. A few so-called Seniors are taking quite a chance investing money in a grad- uation as things stand right now. Edith Smith is back in school as sec- retary to the principal. Alfreda Smith and Sophie Drakus assist her. V r 'I P PAGE FOUR I F l 5 THE 1946 PEP No school tomorrow because Colum- bus discovered America 453 years ago. Rally for the game with Madi- son. James Fraser and Robert Leav- itt gave us pep talks. According to the cheering that followed, they made some impression. q We lost Saturday. Leo Maillet made Norman Arsenault blush today when he popped the question. Lorna Doone is quite a book in its romantic spots. The debating team met after school. More recruits are needed for the band. The Juniors have quite a collection for the fair-a chicken, an end table, a cord of wood, and a calf. The end table must fit in somewhere, but where? Lots of talk about the fair. Less talk and more work, says Mr. Norton. Mr. Thomas had us all worried about which class he was going to visit next. Rally for the game with Berlin. The last of the six week exams were given today. The band is scheduled to play Sat- urday. Rank cards were given out. We have four whole days to get over the effects, while the teachers attend the state convention. Q The honor roll was announced. James Fraser led the Seniors, Margaret An- derson the Juniors, Marilyn Rumley the Sophomores, Irene Trembley the Freshmen, and Fern Crossland the eighth grade. Fern Crossland was the highest ranking student of the school. We all envy Arlene the nice car she rides in to school lately. x Tryouts for the play, The Cuckoo's Nest, were held today. NOVEMBER First day of November. Very dull. Rally for the game with Gould. Only one session so we could attend the Gould game that was postponed on Saturday. All the pleasant things seem to happen at once. In addition to getting the afternoon off, we had an assembly-piano music, Chopin and-Boogie Woogie. The result of the game wasn't so pleasant. The eniors are making plans for their Washington trip. The girls of the Commercial Club are busyisoliciting food and money for the footliall banquet to be held after Mon- day'S game. They called on Mr. Nor- ton to put on the pressure for the money collection. The results of the class officer elections were announced. No more school for three days. We had a rally for the Armistice game on Monday. Coach Cobb read greetings from some of the alumni, Robert Allen, Eddie Martin, and ' George Worthley. Jim Fraser, Supt. McGuire, Coach Cobb, Mr. Stowell, Coach Lap- ham, and Cecil Burns spoke. Ru ford beat us yesterday-very muldlm so. We montributed to the Junior Red Cross. We'11e all set for our day off the Fri- day pafter Thanksgiving. We made it up by going to school today. Miss Ruth Harris, a friend of the Nortons, spolqe to us about her three years at a prison camp in Japanese territory. The lbeginning of a short Week-only a day and a half to go after this one. Bas etball practice every day now afte school and every evening. Oneisession, so we had time for only clas es. We're off until Monday. Pla rehearsals and basketball prac- tice A. take up all our extra time lately. opular extra-curricular activity late y is sandpapering desks-no as- sem ly credits attached to it, though. Six eeks' exams are on the schedule onc Fou more. classes-four exams for some of us t day. Girls sign up for basketball afte school-those who had pep eno gh left after the tough day. All in t oys over sixteen years of age met e gym-army, navy or air corps talk . l l DECEMBER We lstarted the week right by getting out, fifteen minutes early-faculty meeting. Thei chairmen of all fair committees disclussed big plans for a big fair. -r i. 1 4 THE 1946 PEP PAGE FIVE Some are sad, some are mad, some are glad-Rank card day affects us that way. Assembly with Jessie R. Taylor, reader of monologues. If we throw snow balls at noon, we have to go sit in Mr. Thomas's office and wait for him. It's fun throwing snow balls, but it's no fun waiting for Mr. Thomas, it's less fun when he ar- rives-so, no more snow balls. Pintexico Fair preparations-no time for anything else. More fair-Manual training classes are busy building booths. The Seniors finally decided on a definite plan for a booth. It was really no secret-they just cou1dn't make up their minds. The Cuckoois Nest was shown after school for the grade children. First day of the fair. One session of school. The play was good. The Ju- nior booth was good enough to take first prize. Second day of the fair. Auction sale with Mr. Hanson as auctioneer. Prizes awarded-chickens, wood, tablecloths, butter, dolls, etc. . . The dance spon- sored by the student council was the final event. Saturday, the first day of vacation. Clean-up committees clear up the wreckage. The senior committee strolled in between ten and eleven o'clock after being waked up via telephone. Merry Christmas! Someone did some planning during vacation. Lots of changes are going to be made. JANUARY Mr. McLeod begins the New Year right by joining the faculty of M. H. S. Girls' basketball practice. Band prac- tice. First game of the season. We won. The boys are busy preparing Hanson's Field for a skating rink. There's talk of starting a hockey team. The Winter Sports Team is organized with Mr. Norton as coach. Mr. Dyer arrived to finish out the year in Miss Darrah's place. She's getting married. He's married, girls. Girls' gym classes are starting. The boys got their football letters at a special assembly today. We played Rumford. Berlin beat us. I mean--really. The new schedule is working out well, especially the activity period at the end of the day. It's a busy period. Because some of the bus students haven't been behaving, they all have to wait in school until bus time. Big storm. No school. Next Saturday we have to pay for our day off last Friday. We gain a half day, though. We'll be having one session. Everybody connected with school ex- cept the students met at three o'clock, so we went home. The seniors are having their gradua- tion pictures taken. They look hand- some and beautiful all dressed up. The March of Dimes is on. FEBRUARY The group pictures for Pep were taken bright and early, beginning in period one. Did any ten o'clock scholars lose out? A Saturday in school. We didn't win the game with Oxford. We came out on top with Jay. Snowshoe Clubs are organized for boys and girls. The basketball teams went to Berlin. The Winter Sports team went to Beth- el. They placed sixth in the finals. We got criticized for riding on the bumpers of cars. We got criticized for throwing snow- balls. We're being pretty bad lately. Today, We were warned about marking up desks and walls. Today, four boys skipped school. They'll be sorry, because Mr. Thomas found out. How's the makeup work, boys? Lots of prom talk now-informal or semi-formal? Some fun-only one session. What a storm!

We started the day with movies in the first period. r I 1 PAGE SIX THE 1946 PEP The coaches and referees for the in- ter-class games were announced today. Inter-class games for the boys.

PEP PAGE SEVENTEEN PINTEXICO FAIR The Mexico High School Gymnasium took on the appearance of a show room December 13 and 14 when the Pintexico Fair got off to its start. The gym was a scene of much activity in those days of December 13 and 14, with students assembling carrying out last minute details of the fair. Orglnality was the keynote of the past year s choice of booths, and the decorations amply proved that a great deal of thought and planning went into the work. The Class of 1946 was represented by a red-brick fireplace. The theme seemed to be based on the legend of Santa Claus and the chimney. The fireplace was com- plete with logs and a mantel. Clever nov- elties which anyone would enjoy receiv- ing in a Christmas stocking were on dis- play at this booth. In addition a quilt was sold by the Seniors. Mrs. Murphy directed the entire project. The Class of 1947 borrowed their idea from the American Indians. Food of all types-in fact, everything except the cus- tomary pipe-was served from the Junior teepee. The tent, lavishly designed and decorated, harbored a quantity of delicious odors. As a special feature, the Juniors served a baked bean supper for which tickets were sold in advance. The Home Economics Department of the High School under the sponsorship of Miss Rollins pre- pared and served the supper. Mr. Norton of the faculty served as director of the class booth. Anchors Aweigh was the basis for the Sophomore Class booth. A grey U-boat loaded with pastries and candy, made its way into Mexico High School. Drawn to scale, it was a source of attraction for it- self as well as for the food display on, of all places, the conning tower. From the blunt nose to the periscope it was com- plete as a submarine. An electric iron was displayed for sale on this booth. Mrs. Thomas and Miss Perry sponsored this project. Harvest Hut, the Freshman road-side stand, found its shelves loaded down with canned goods. Decorated with blue and white, that stand was a replica of those one sees in the country in the fall. The Class of 1949 also sold a live rabbit, some SENIOR FAIR BOOTH JUNIOR FAIR BOOTH SOPHOMORE FAIR BOOTH V. 5. 1 in 'if' PAGE EIGHTEEN FRESHMAN FAIR BOOTH l Q EIGHTH GRADE FAIR Boo'rH FAIR COMMITTEE Arsenault, Anderson, Fraser, Crossland, Swan 2 THE 1946 PEP chickens, and a lamp. The class director for the project was Miss Heath. The Eighth Grade, sponsored by Mrs. Stowell and Mrs. Mann, served doughnuts and chocolate milk to its patrons at a spe- cial booth. The Senior booth was named The Se- nior Fire g the Junior booth, Teepee,', the Sophomore booth, ,U48',g the Fresh- man booth, The Veg-All , and the Eighth Grade booth, The Doughnut Bowl. First prize for the best decorated booth went to the Juniors, second prize to the Seniors, third prize to the Sophomores. On the first evening, a three act play, The Cuckoo's Nest, was presented un- der the direction of Miss Jean Bragoli. To top off a completely successful af- fair, on the second and last evening a dance was held to the music of Kenny Goodwin and his orchestra. The entire fair was under the direction of the Student Assembly and Principal Thomas. D. A. R. AWARD Catherine Myles was chosen by the Senior Class of 1945 and the faculty to represent Mexico High School as the D. A. R. candidate. This award is based on dependability, service, leadership, and pa- triotism. She attended a meeting at Mrs. Virgil Davenport's home in Rumford. Four representatives were present from Rumford, Dixfield, Canton, and Mexico. Each of the girls present read an original essay on the four qualities for which they were chosen. The group enjoyed listening to several talks on the work of the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution, and, later, refreshments were served. The names of all the Good Citizenship Girls elected in Maine were placed to- gether, and a drawing was made. The name drawn was the winner of a S100 War Bonds. The Mechanic Falls repre- sentative was the winner. At graduation a special award was pre- sented to our candidate by a representa- tive of the Rumford D. A. R. chapter. Rosalie Jamison represented the school this year as the D. A. R. candidate. THE 1946 PEP PAGE N INETEEN J I !

THE 1946 PEP NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY No regular meetings have been held by the members of the National Honor Soci- ety and no officers have,been elected. Each member is anxiously awaiting the nomin- ation of its new members and the initiation into the Society, which will take place at our Last Chapel Exercises in June. Present members of the Society are Rosalie Jamison, Lloyd Dickson, James Fraser, Lee Burns, Beverly Curtis, and William Andrews. Probationary members are Margaret Anderson, Joyce Crossland, and Marion Dragoon. The faculty sponsor of the National Honor Society is Mr. Cobb. g SCIENCE CLUB Pres., Wm. Andrews ' J Sponsors, Mr. and Mrs. Norton The Science Club, although the smallest in school, has contributed to the running expenses of the Student Assembly. This it accomplishes largely through the sale of ice cream and coke. Out of its own fifty per cent of profit, it buys useful and necessary scientific literature and equip- ment. At present it has a large unex- pended reserve which it is saving for equipment that has been scarce and high, but which soon should be available at reasonable prices and standard quality. Only students are eligible who are con- tinuing science four years. Election to membership depends not only on the above, but also on the acid test in charac- ter, dependability, scholarship in science, and devoted interest and service for all that makes M. H. S. a good school. Al- though the rewards of membership are more academic than social, we do take time off two or three times a year for gastronomic experiments in fun. The outstanding experiment in fun, food, and fellowship was held at Weld Inn last Autumn. Several chickens were dis- sected and embalmed with all the fixin's. New members were welcomed into the club after the feast. A second experiment, similar to the first, was done on roast turkey at Lan- caster's in Dixfield during the middle term. Although the banquet fell after the worst blizzard of the winter, only one member was absent. After each of the PAGE TWENTY-ONE above parties, the members went to the home of the sponsors and held an hour of fun. COMMERCIAL CLUB N The Commercial Club began its yearly activities and meetings in September. The ofiicers elected at the first meeting were Helena Carey, President, Rita Fournier, Vice President, Alfreda Smith, Secretary- Treasurer. Other members were Sophie Drakus and Vivian DesRoches. New mem- bers from the Junior and Senior classes were Georgina Deraspe, Joyce Caron, Ruth Carey, Dorothy Brown, Marian Dra- goon, Janet Legere, Dorothy Martin, and Marilyn Miller. The sponsor was Miss Alice Darrah, who later resigned, and her duties were taken over by Miss Ella Perry. Regular meetings were held every two weeks at the high school, where the future events and activities of the club were discussed. The initiation supper was held in the high school Home Economics room, where the new members were put through very strange antics. .- The Club sponsored the annual banquet for the football boys on November 10.5hThe affair was most successful due to' the whole-hearted co-operation of the entire student body, the faculty, and the tovgifisf- people.

Canwell, Miss Bragoli. THE CUCKOO'S NESTH M The night of December 14 the auditor- ium of Mexico High School housed a Very unusual family, the Cragwells, and their problems made the onlookers scream with laughter. There wasn't a single character in the play who could not be considered temperamental in some way or other ex- cept for George Judd, who had come for his stage-struck wife, and Douglas Breen, the writer. Lee Burns played the part of the musician, who gets the family to New York in the first place. Yvonne Lanteigne as Aunt Fanny spent their money freely and managed to have them thrown out of their hotel. Connie Waite portrayed the stoic sister who had fallen in love with Douglas Breen. The cab driver found that they had not rented rooms but liter- ally had taken over an empty house. He proceeds to find roomers for the'Crag- wells, and the stage was filled with a very strange group of people. Nancy Bracy, as dramatic-minded Minorah Judd, fell in love with Barry. To make matters worse Faith QJean Canwellb, the Cragwell serv- ant for years, chose this time to collect her back wages and demanded that world- ly Mrs. Noel Harvey fLaraine Cormierb pay her rent. Isadore Klotlywich, played by Ernest Caliendo, and Colonel Pickett, played by Carl Hatch, played a scene which was unforgettable for comedy. Bar- ry Millett as the cab driver, James Fraser as George Judd and Robert Leavitt as Douglas Breen added suspense to the story. The play was under the direction of Miss Jean Bragoli.

The final period started, and the orange and black scored heavily, making the score read 22-29.

This victory for the Greyhounds made them a six win- one loss record and for the Pintos it read one and one. At the half the home team had a nine point lead and strengthened it as the game went along. The scoring for the Greyhounds was largely made by Davis, lanky Farmington center, who had twenty-one points recorded beside his name. The Mexico girls lost 20-24 in the preliminary game.

In the third frame the Red and White gained tremendously to an eleven point lead.

At the half the Gould club was still under the spell of the Mex- ico basketeers. Early in the third period the visitors rallied and took the lead. This was counteracted, however, by a quick Pinto flash. In the final movements of the bout John Whytock, steady Pinto guard, set a looper to tie up the tilt at 43 THE 1946 PEP is .

The chemistry group entered an exhi- bition of milk-testing for butterfat with the Babcock tester. John Greene gave the talk, with Kenneth Sinclair, Margaret Anderson, and Evangeline Pingree as- sisting with the testing machine, and Theresa Raymond as timekeeper. Pauline Bernard, Eileen Blanchard and Theresa Fournier were alternates. The Lewiston Sun has been showing in its oflice win- dows in Lewiston a large picture of this testing team in action, with young John Greene addressing a very interested audience. The audience at Augusta numbered several hundred people including scien- tists and teachers from all parts of Maine. The physics demonstration, Wheels Humble and Highbrowf' was given by Warren Crosby, who replaced Ronald Hodgkins, called into the Navy. The ex- hibition met a peculiar handicap, namely twenty water wheels with no water to drive them. Our contestants were in the same situation as a man out for champion milking laurels, who learned at the last moment he was supposed to bring his own cow. Crosby's assistants, Rosalie Jami- son and William Guy, found themselves unable to drive wheels and Pelton genera- tor on imaginary water. Many compli- ments were received, however, from the judges on Crosby's talk and on the exhi- bition. Once again, Mexico High School was honored by being selected to perform at the finals shown in the evening. At that time only ten were selected, Mexico High School competing with the Iirsts from Bangor, Portland, Lewiston, Augus- ta, and other very large schools far out of their class. We placed among the first five in the state, placing among schools five times our size. I A G. H. BASS sz co. Makers of Outdoor Footwear WILTON, MAINE Sold in Mexico by CHARLES STANLEY'S SONS T. M.

'1'he party, joined by the Rumford group, left on a Saturday after- noon for New York City, where they viewed the country s largest city from the Observation Roofs of the R. C. A. Build- ing. In the evening, everyone enjoyed Hats Off to Ice at the Center Theater, after which many attended the broadcast at the Columbia Broadcasting studios, en- joying the Philip Morris Program Onward to Washington on Monday in a new 1946 bus, arriving at 6:00 P. M. The round of sight-seeing in the Capitol began Tuesday morning with guide-con- ducted tours to Mount Vernon, Lee Man- sion, Masonic Memorial, Arlington Me- morial Cemetery and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. In the afternoon, they visited the Smithsonian Institution, An- drew Mellon and Natural Museums, and, in the evening the Congressional Library. One of the most memorable spots on the trip was the Franciscan Monastery. The next stop on Wednesday morning was at the F. B. I. Building, Bureau of Printing and Engraving, the National Capitol, and the Supreme Court Building, where they had the privilege of listening to the morning court session, and in which building all enjoyed a delicious luncheon. One of the high points of the visit south the next day to the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia was a tour through the Shen- andoah Caverns. The return trip north started on Fri- day with stops at Valley Forge, Gettys- burg, and Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love, where we visited the Betsy Ross House and Independence Hall. M. N.

And with the coming of the robin and the wild duck, the flowers and leaves, will appear the new summer hats. These consist of everything from upturned batter bowls to inverted saucers. One of the styles will be comparable to the Mexico sombrero in size and shape. It will also be covered with perpetually blooming flowers and a miniature of the hanging gardens of Babylon. There will be,instead of the usual leather or gaily colored cloth hatband, a squash vine or two entwined about the conical top. Many hats will be of the Chinese coolie style.

Then comes the co-eds' beanie or skull cap, with its lack of floral or painted dec- orations but finally loaded with a myriad of plastic trinkets and campaign pins. Possibly there will be a surplus of army helmets doled out to hat dealers. If these make their appearance this spring, they will be decorated with bullet and shrap- nel holes and adorned with army insignia of all sorts and types. Along with the helmets the army officers' dress caps are expected to enter the finals. These will be left plain except for a few stars and the usual gold braid. Next in line is the Parisian style, which, though it has been among the fashions for the last two decades, will be declared new and revolutionary. The Parisian style appears to have been modeled after the famed Eiffel Tower. Its usual pat- tern is tall and pointed. It took the spiral stairway shape last year. This year it will probably be an exact scale model of the Tower, styled .for featherweight com- fort and air conditioning. Now the bird hats for our air-minded ladies. This style of hat has no definite size or shape so long as it is convenient for carrying its plumage. It probably started with just the conventional Indian feather. Next came the full feathered tails. Then the wings and head made their appearance together. Last spring the entire bird was assembled and some- times perched on a nest of eggs. This spring I expect to see the entire flock perched on some woman's head. Along with these now come the mil- linery hats, with the 10 inch bows and flowing ribbons. These hats are styled after grandmother's bonnet, and make their appearance every spring. Maybe in the bonnet family will be included the fashionable kerchief. These may buckle underneath the chin this year and may be topped off by an ostrich plume. And last but not least are the Hedda Hopper hats. These follow no pattern and are distinguished from other styles by their reality. For example, a doll house, or a miniature milk wagon com- , FRANK HARGREAVES, Ph. G.

If you don't believe me Just you listen now. I will tell you who, What, why, when, and how. Upon leaving room nine The first sound the Senior hears Is Watch your talking, girls, Repeatedly in our ears. If we continue talking While going down the stairs, A man's voice is heard saying, , Pipe down! You sound like bears. Down the second flight of stairs We always go too fast, Get off the Freshmen's backs, Booms out like a heavy blast. Step on it, Seniors, The eighth grade is behind. Is the next command In a voice, usually kind. I wonder how it happens, That we pass two rooms in peace? For at least twenty seconds, The teachers' voices cease. Then- Hurry along childrenf' As round the corner we go, I don't see how you make it Your pace is so very slow. As we pass the typing room, Our voices are rather high, ' Alright, quiet down! is heard, In a high, clamoring cry. While going up the stairs, It is almost like a riot, Then in a loud, loud voice, Holy smoke! Can't you keep quiet? Hurry along, Seniors, You are already late. QI wonder if we could make it, If we went at our own gait?J Someone is seen in the distance, With a grim look on his face, Then into room ten we file The Seniors have lost the race! -MILDRED HAMMOND I WOMEN'S HATS Once upon a time women wore hats for warmth. When, I couldn't say, because I'm sure it was long before my time. It must have been back during the pioneer stage of our country when women had other things to do besides think of how to make themselves beautiful by the odd creations of their head dress. This is not saying that women alone make this upper wearing apparel because some men help Stanley's Furniture Store RUMFORD MEXICO Stoves - Pianos - Furniture Floor Coverings A Electrical Appliances it -wa -- .-- Y 44-- . if Tir t ji' ,gl to please them by their originality in the art of hat making. If anyone craves pure, wholesome, and entertaining fun at the expense of some- one else just stand on a street corner, sit in a car, or walk leisurely along the streets and look at women's hats. I can grant you that you will be amused at a woman wearing a flower-pot hat on her head which the sales woman said would undoubtedly grow on her and as you can see by the long strings making their way down her back it has done so. Looking around again you see this time not a flow- er garden but a bowl of fruit. This hat may have just a few apples, pears, ba- nanas, and oranges on it while some have been supplied with enough fruit to last a woman a lifetime. You will notice on your fun tour the great supply of hats decked with bird designs. You will see big birds, little birds, medium-sized birds, white birds, blue birds, red birds, black birds, and every other kind that makes an original design. A woman's costume is not fully com- plete without a hat. To find a sensible one is like finding a green lawn among a group of houses in the dead of winter. It may not be quite as difficult as that but it is extremely hard. The only ones who wear reasonable hats are the older women who themselves do not have the courage to keep in style with the younger gener- ation. I'll ask you a question. Why are hats worn? Surely, after watching the pass- ing parade you wonder how a piece of cloth three inches in diameter is to be of any advantage, or one that is worn on the front of the head just over the eyes with an elastic coming under the chin to help hold it on. There can't be too many ad- vantages to styles like these. If a woman does not wear these contraptions she is out of style and if she does wear them I, personally, don't see any style in it. I hope you can find a reasonable answer to my question because I'm sure I can't. --WILLIAM ANDREWS JACKSGN-WHITE sTUD1o CLASS PHOTOGRAPHER'i' 1946 Portland, in ' f' Maine Compliments of - Compliments of - RUMF ORD TOM STEVENS DRUG STORE , JOHN BARTASH, Tel- 407-M Prop.
