This may sound like a lot of hooey, but that is what is happening to the young American today. War has proven that to us. Every day we read or see pictures where soldiers die-die because they lack the strength and abil- ity to get out of burning tanks, die be- cause they lack the ability to climb ropes hand over hand. America is learning that she can't live on luxuries and expect to build a body, physically able to meet these demands. We are learning that we canit stay up every night and expect to have a sound body, both mentally and physically. There was a lot of talk about gasoline rationing and other rationings, but, if we stop to think, we find that these are really a great asset to us. Through them We have left off enjoying all the luxuries and now spend more time doing those things which build up our body. America needs men on the land, on the sea, and in the air. She needs men who can stand the constant rattle of ma- chine guns and the drone of motors. Those men must come from the fac- tories, homes, and, yes, even the schools. Is it no wonder then that the schools stress the value of education and the physical fitness programs? They are the answer and the only answer to our problem because the building of the physical body must start with the young, yes, with those even younger than high school age. America needs you. Serve her by being physically fit. Make America free and a land of men physically and men- tally able to look out for themselves, whether it be on the fighting field or in a factory. What High School Students Can Do to Help Win This War If you want a good definition of all- outv war effort, look at the job the blind are doing. A good place to look is Brooklyn's Industrial Home for the Blind, probably the oldest shop of its kind in the United States. More than 350 blind men work in its shops, turning out war materials for the Army and Navy. Brooms and mops are an old story to the blind, but the war has brought them a new job-splitting mica, vitally needed for such things as condensers for radios. If the blind can do their bit to win this war, why canit we students of New- port High and schools all over the coun- try? VVe certainly have a great advan- tage over them, yet we never think seri- ously of how we can help in this great crisis. The boys in uniform are willing to fight to make this nation a safe place to live in. If they can risk their life to do this, we can certainly make some effort to help them and stand by them. You may think, Well, I am not old enough to join up yet, so I don't see anything NEWPORT HIGH SCHOOL + I 6 1 4- I can do except wait until I amf, Then, on the other hand, you might say, Oh, heck, I,ll be joining up in a couple of months, so why dig in and study? I might as well have a good time before I have to go. Personally, I believe both attitudes are entirely wrong. First of all, you should get all the edu- cation you can. No boy can afford to neglect his work, and with a boy, work, as a rule, means study. I am no advocate of senseless and excessive cramming in studies, but a boy should work, and should work hard, at his lessons-in the first place, for the sake of what he will learn, and in the second place, for the sake of the effect upon his own charac- ter of resolutely settling down to learn it. While he studies he should study just as hard as he plays basketball in a league game. It is Wise to obey the old saying, VVork while you work, play while you play. You can join the Victory Corps and Physical Education and other activities that promote healthy bodies and minds. Get into the spirit of both of these proj- ects for the country needs today more than ever, strong and healthy people. Next you who are reared on the farms and rich in farm experience are often largely ignorant of farm facts except as they pertain to what to you is the dreary routine of some disagreeable tasks. Your interests may run wholly to other things than farm practice. You will acquire knowledge of other things and will wholly neglect those subjects which lie nearest at hand. Your interests and search for knowledge may be as remote from farm interest as sailing ships on the seas or through the air, piloting trains across the continent, dealing in the exchange of foreign coun- tries, or conquering disease in the tropics. Wherever your interest is, there your mind is, and the Held you will in- evitably build up as your principal body of knowledge. You can put your mind to anything, if you really try. If you come from a farm, you can help your parents on the farm. The boys surely could use all those vegetables and milk. In this way you could help bring the war to a close more quickly by feeding the armed forces. The Victory Garden will also help your parents and you to get a good living. Wake up and see what a chump you are! Just drifting along Without any thought of helping out. We are at war and thatls something we just can't' ignore. It is something bigger than you and I. You can't spend your money playing pool, going to the movies, eating candy and ice cream, or traveling un- necessarily. Youive got to think clearly, Do I need this or can I use my old one to serve the purpose?', If you have some money that is burning in your pockets, why not put it in the safest and best investment in the world, America? Buy defense stamps regularly and bonds. After ten years, you get so much per cent on a dollar. Imagine that, you not only help your country but yourself. It also gives the boys out there that nice feeling that we are all rooting for them and are with them 100 per cent. All of you who have played basketball know how much confidence you have when the school is cheering and rooting for you all the way. We should cooperate all we can in community activities. Be right on your toes every minute. Take up First Aid, Nutrition, Home Nursing, and General Health. Get a job as an air warden, or THE LIVE WIRE +-.Q-...W-.W---. - -I 7 1 4- work in zl Iac-tory making vital War ma- tcrial. Did you ever stop to think how impor- tant a first aid course is? You might be able to save someone's life some time. No matter what you do or where you go, no onelcan take this knowledge from you. Youill know what to do and when to do it in an emergency. In case of a real air raid, you can help bandage up injured people. If you are a healthy person, a pint of blood taken from your body won't hurt you a bit. Your blood may save some soldieris life. Think of that! How about your contributing to this cause? The boys may go on guard duty in the community. The girls make bandages and sew for the armed forces. Some may take care of the children while the moth- ers help out in war work. Gather scrap, save fats, and lick the laps. Keep the cards, packages and letters going to your brothers, uncles, your dad, or some friends in the armed forces. They look for them as we all look for Christmas packages. They are all happy to hear from home and this keeps up the armed forces, morale. These are some miscel- laneous things that you can do, but they are plenty important. Donit grumble when things are ra- tioned. Get in the spirit of things. We must expect unusual conditions during an emergency. We shouldn't believe all we hear in newspapers and spread propaganda or let out information that might be useful le the enemy. If we all work together, we're bound to win. Nothing will be gained by pull- hauling both ways, so letis get in the spirit of it all. Take it with a smile. Even if it doesn't please you, you must remember that there's a war to be won and it's up to us to see that it islwon. So don't run around like a hatchet face and feel as though we were licked al- ready, we certainly aren't yet, and I feel confident that if we all get into this all- out Victory for America and pull in one direction, Weill win. if NEWPORT HIGH SCHOOL -I 8 1 ' 1' Arthur Anderson Andy Agricultural Course Large oaks from little acorns grow.

THE LIVE -r 5 15 lIllHHHY Blair,s Furlough Marie walked slowly home through whirls of colored leaves and golden sun- light. She had auburn hair and hazel eyes, and now, with the bright leaves drifting around her, she looked prettier than ever. Many people stopped to watch the lovely picture Marie made in her green wool sweater and plaid skirt, her roller skates flung over her shoul- der, and a letter gripped tightly in the other hand. The minute she reached home, she raced up the stairs, humming one of the latest dance tunes. All her serenity dis- appeared. She Hung her books on the bed, and danced happily around the room. Pausing in front of the mirror, she smiled at what she saw, and spun around the room three times, landing in the middle of her bed, the unopened letter in her hand. Marie held the letter up. It looked exciting, she thought, as she ripped it open. Her eyes sparkled and she un- consciously smiled to herself. Guess what, Ienniferf she addressed ner sleepy kitten, Blair,s coming home on a furlough! Now, Iill see him in his Navy uniform. I'll bet heis a darling. Just think, kitty darling, Fridayf, She never realized. how much she really did miss him. If Friday were only here. She could see him now-the way his eyes wrinkled at the corners when he smiled, his brown wavy hair, the funny swagger he had when he walked. Oh Blair, Blair, Iill never be WIRE j +- able to waitf, The next few days seemed endless to Marie, as her parents helped her make preparations for Blair. She recalled the grand times they had had together-their first senior hop, the weinie roasts with the gang, the time the carnival came to town and he took her on the ferris wheel four times in a row, all the plans they made for the future. Everything. She always had wonderful times with Blair, even when they WG1'6Il,t doing anything special. After years of waiting, Friday finally arrived, a nice golden fall day. Marie stood patiently on the station platform, looking very pretty and un- sophisticated in her pale blue woolen dress, her bright hair tied with a blue ribbon. From a distance she heard a train whistle blow. Her heart began to beat faster, until she thought it might jump right out of her mouth. The train pulled up at the station, she saw a Hash of blue leap from the steps. Then she found herself in Blairis arms, her cheek against his. Oh, it was good to be together again. Iust wonderful. i'Blair, darling, have you missed me?,' What do you think, funny-face?', he said gently, tilting her head back to look at her. So they walked gaily up the street, seuffing in the leaves, his sailor hat perched jauntily on her red curls, and holding hands. The two weeks passed quickly-too quickly, Blair and Marie thought. Marie rounded up their old gang, or what was left of it, and they did the town up righti' from movies to corn roasts. On his last day Blair and Marie were NEWPORT HIGH SCHOOL -r L 16 1 4- walking to the station, when laughingly Marie spied a little make-believe mon- key peering from a store window. He had a little white sailor hat perched saucily over one button eye, and a grin spreading from one furry ear to the other. Amused at her delight over it, Blair bought it for her. Here, funny-face, here's something to keep you from be- ing lonesome while lim away. After seeing Blair off, Marie made her way sorrowfully home. Oh, well, she told the monkey, he'll have more fur- loughs-and some day he'll come home to stay. Spring came and Marie started mak- ing plans for her flower gardens. Blair loves spring and making gardens, Marie thought, as she dug into the warm, damp earth. It's too bad he couldn,t get a furlough about now. She ought to get a letter pretty soon, too. He hadn't written for ages. Days faded into weeks and Marie waited patiently for Blair to write. Then one morning she did get a letter. Lying 1,11 her bed, she looked at the envelope. Her eyes were bright pools of happi- ness. It didn't feel very thick, but may- be he didn't have much to write now. He typed it, too, she noticed. Unable to wait any longer, she ripped the letter open and started reading eagerly. The kitten watched her dreamily from the rug- Love's a funny thingf' he thought. It either makes you or breaks you,', and purred contentedly to sleep. When Marie read the first line she looked puzzled, but in a moment a strange light came to her eyes, and she was lying limply on the bed crying. Blair, Blair. I won't believe it. I won't. I ca-a-a-n't.', But after looking at the telegram again she knew it was true. Blair was dead- was killed in action. Heid never come home again-never-he couldnlt kiss her any more or call her F unny-face-every- thing was over for her-everything. I might as well die, too, she sobbed miserably. There isn't anything to live for-except one thing. Iill spend the rest of my life trying to wipe those rot- ten, dirty Iaps off the map or dief' Bracing herself the next morning, Marie walked firmly into the Red Cross building and added her name to the list of nurses who were going into action immediately. Her eyes never shone with laughter any more, and the happiness that dimpled around her mouth was replaced by taunt, firm lines mixed with bitter- ness. After reaching home she went to her room. As she opened the door, her eyes fell on the little monkey grinning saucily at her. Slowly she picked him up and sat on her bed. She could hear Blair say now, Here, F unny-face-here's some- thing to keep you from being lonesome while lim awayf' Pressing the monkey to her tear- stained cheek, she fell asleep. A smile passed over her face and settled on her pale lips. Perhaps she was dreaming of Blair's next furlough. But, no, I think she has gone to meet him. The Story Behind a Whit Setting: Larry's apartment. Time: Early evening. Characters: Larry, a young composer, Laurel, his girl friend, Mack, his pub- THE LIVE WIRE -4 L 17 1 4- lisher. Scene: Larry is sitting on a piano bench in front of a baby grand. Music paper is scattered and crumpled all over the room. His hair is tousled, his tie loose, his shirt partially unbuttoned, and he has a chewed pencil in his hand. Larry mutters: What am I going to do? I,ve got to get this finished before tomorrow, and I havenit a tune in my head worth putting on scrap paper. fThe door bell rings and, without wait- ing for an answer, Mack walks in.Q Mack: Hello, Larry, any luck? Larry: Not a measure, but don't worry, somethingis got to pop. Mack: I just dropped in to see how you were doing. By the way, when are you going to let me in on your secret about your pen name, Silvio? Most young composers with as much fame as you have wouldnit be ashamed of it. The public is crazy trying to find out who you really are. Larry: Not just yet, Mack. I have a very special reason. Tomorrow you can broadcast it all over the world, and per- haps you can broadcast something else too. Mack: Well, old man, maybe you know what you're doing, but I,m sure I don't. Well, I'll see you tomorrow. Larry: Okay. Goodbye. fMack goes, and Larry picks up the telephone.l Larry: 2358, please. fPausel Hello, Laurel, can you come over about eight, it's very important. fPausel I know you have an appointment with the mysteri- ous Silvio at eight, but if you love me you'll come here. CPausel Okay, bye. fHe replaces the receiver and goes back to his work. Then the doorbell rings.l Laurel: Can I come in Larry? Larry fstill musinglz Uh-huh. Laurel fenteringj, Larry, please hurry and tell me what you want. Silvio will be the greatest scoop in history, and if the boss finds out what happened, I wouldn't work for the 6'Sentinelv much longer. Larry: Calm yourself, my dear, you,ll meet Silvio, but this was just a test to find out whether you were in love with me or your old newspaper. Now I know, and Iill give you the whole story of Silvio. Laurel: You, how could you knov about him? Larry: Darling, I am Silvio. Laurel: You. fShe looks around the room and sees the music paper.l You, a composer! Oh, Larry, why didn't you tell me? Why all the torture? Larry: A young composer isnit al- ways welcomed as readily as I was into the music world, so I used Silvio as sort of a shield. Laurel: Larry, lim not a fainting wom- an, but would you mind holding out your arms? Larry: What for? Laurel: So I can faint, silly. fShe falls in a mock faint and Larry catches her. Then suddenly he sets her down on the floor, he grabs his pencil, sticks it behind his ear, and starts play- ing.l Laurel findignantlyl: Well, sir Silvio, what struck you? Larry: Laurel, I had to have a song for Dinah Shore to sing at an Army camp and now I've got it, Who is Silvio?', Arthur Anderson. NEWPORT HIGH SCHOOL -P I 18 1 +- Missing in Action It was Saturday, a sunny day in the early spring. Pete was making his way slowly up the long lane which was now crazily disheveled by the excited rushes and gurgles of the thousands of tiny rivulets making their annual spring journey to the more complacent life of the lowlands. About halfway up the lane he came to the familiar old apple tree whose fruit was good only for throwing, but whose protective branches and fragrant blossoms had so many times silently serenaded the lovers of Pete's little village. As he sat down, he remembered when he and Daisy had last sat there together-just a year ago. As he sat there, he found himself remember- ing-remembering when he should be dreaming. He felt again that same sensa- tion--he thought again the same thoughts. The comfort and security in feeling Daisy close to him and the little catch in his throat as the little rivulets suddenly portrayed the course of hu- man life. They started way up on top of the hill, small and unimportant. Slowly they grew and as they grew they be- came excited and confused. Then they began to catch glimpses of the bottom of the end of their life-and they be- came more confused and a little afraid, and they rushed about madly trying to find the something that they knew should be there for them. And then it was all over. They were swallowed up in the flood. The war had seemed remote then, but before winter had come Daisy was in it-a branch of the Red Cross. It had seemed so absurd that they would take her and he couldnit go. For two weeks their life had been like the madly rushing spring Hoods, and then it was all over-for a while. Pete had never stopped believing that it was just for a while. That is, not until just an hour ago-and still it seemed so unreal. Rapidly, his life with her Hickered through his mind as his boyish eyes, filled with tears, followed the rushing waters until they joined the turbulent flood far below. There the words, miss- ing in action, were jumping about hys- terically. But slowly they spilled out to sea and Peter's mind cleared. Reverently, Pete bowed his head and prayed that some day he would see Daisy again. That is, if a little boy and his dog can go to the same heaven. I. Wiers. The Senior Prom On the campus of Haskell College could be seen boys and girls walking to and fro with books tucked under their arms. In one corner was teen-aged girls conversing excitedly, while some dis- tance away boys were also talking with vigor. Everyone seemed excited except one fellow by the name of Ray Sanders, who was by himself. What was all this excitement about anyway? Why, the Senior Prom was only one week away! This was an important event in the lives of these young students. Suddenly came the aggravating shout, Ray, where's your girl? Then followed several more, such as, Ray hasnit a girl - What happened to your sex appeal, Ray? Then laughter rang out. These shouts burned in Ray's ears. THE LIVE WIRE -k I 19 :I 1' Anger was seething in him. Was it his fault that all the girls had been dated? Suddenly he had an idea. Remember the movie star who had presented him with the trophy for the best composition last year? Why couldn't he ask her? It would be worth a try anyway. Monday evening found Ray studiously writing a letter to the movie star, Ianice Lane, Who was at her summer cottage just a few miles away. After tearing up two or three different letters, he found one to be satisfactory. He went to the corner and mailed it, then went back to the dorm',--wondering what the out- come Would be. As Friday night rolled around, and with the boys, taunts still coming at him, Ray received a telegram from jan- ice saying that she would be there at 9 p. m. He dressed in his best tux, combed his hair, and walked across the campus to the hall. His brown skin, black curly hair, and blue eyes were in contrast with the bright lights in the hall. As 9:00 o'clock rolled around and no movie star, Ray began to wonder. Soon it was 9:30, 9:45 and then 10:00 o,clock. He was beginning to give up when a large car drove into the yard and out stepped-Janice Lane. Ray was out the door in a flash. As everyone stared at them as they walked in, Ianice told Ray why she was late. Her manager had told her not to go out, but stay home and rest. She had a hard time to get away. By 10:30 they were like old friends. The evening wore on, when suddenly they were interrupted by two police- men and a rnan in plain clothes, who proved to be janice's manager. Hle stopped Ianice in the middle of a dance with Ray and asked her why she wasnit home resting up for her next picture. Before Ianice could get a word in edge- wise, she and Ray were caught in a sud- den ilash of light from a reporteris camera. I enjoyed the evening a whole lot and I hope we'll meet again soonf' said Ianice as she was taken through the door. Ray felt a funny feeling rising in him as if he didn't want Ianice to go. He went over to the dormitory and laid awake a long time thinking. The next morning he was awakened by the housemaid saying there were some policemen to see him downstairs. He slipped into a robe and went down, to come face to face with Ianice's man- ager. Hello,', he said. Aren,t you the fel- low Janice was with last night?,' Yes, I am! replied Ray firmly. Well,', said the man, your picture is on the front page this morning, and itis just what we've been looking for. And we want you to sign a contract to play opposite Ianice in her next picture. Besides, she won't play the part with any other man but you. Will you do it? Ray hesitated a minute, not knowing what to say. But, just as suddenly, he knew what he was going to say, because he could have a good career and be near Janice at the same time. A Skating Party It was a cold winter day when twenty-four of us started out on a skat- ing party. The party consisted of twelve boys and twelve girls. We were all to bring our share of the food and wood. NEWPORT HIGH SCHOOL 'P I 20 1 i- We started out at 8:00 in the morn- ing and arrived at our destination around 9:00. It was quite a hike, but it didn't seem so far as we had so much fun on the way. When the gang got there, we skated until dinner time. Some of the boys started a nice fire so we could roast hotdogs and marshmallows. It seemed as though we ate twice as much, prob- ably due to the skating. We finished around 1:00. Then we sang for a while and gathered around and chatted with one another. After starting to skate again we had the most fun, as one girl among us could not skate. Although lane man- aged to creep around a bit, she was down most of the time. Finally after some tiring hours and help from the others, Jane was doing quite well. At 3:00 we all started home. jane managed somehow to get in a fish hole in the ice. Her feet were soaking. There was a shore nearby, so we walked over and built a fire so she could dry her feet. This slowed us up some, as we did not arrive home until 8:45. On parting, jane made the daring re- mark that she liked skating very well. Emily Parent. It Happened In a Day Mrs. Hardy sat up in alarm. What was that strange noise that had awak- ened her? She frantically clutched Mr. Hardy's shoulder, whispering, Burg- larsl Mr. Hardy merely rolled over, opened one eye and stated, Go back to sleep, dear, itis just Johnny falling out of bed again. And so the day QFriday, the 13thD be- gan for Johnny Hardy. Finding himself on the floor, he decided to stay up. Pulling on his clothes, he dashed out the door and started to breakfast. Try- ing to run down the stairs in two leaps, he turned a double somersault and landed on his head. Cingerly he proceeded to the table and began to devour the meal set be- fore him. Halfway to his mouth he up- set a good portion of soft-boiled egg on his best white shirt. In a frenzy, he pulled an old sweater over his head before his mother could see to what ends the egg had departed. Showing off on his way to school, he walked along the narrow iron top rail- ing of a fence, and, much to his sur- prise and embarrassment, he fell flat on his face. Upon his arrival at school johnny was greeted with the fact that, since his Eng- lish notebook was three weeks overdue, he would receive a failing mark on his rank card. The morning passed with only a few mishaps, namely, three visits to the principal and two zeros for deportment. At noon, when he returned to school, the last bell had already rung. Not in the mood for a talk with the principal, he slipped out a side door and headed for home. His mother had gone out, so he caught up his shotgun and started out in search of a squirrel. In the woods Iohnny had located a beautiful specimen, aimed carefully and just as his finger tightened on the trig- ger he felt a hand on his shoulder. The truant officer! Leave the rest of the afternoon to your THE LIVE WIRE -r L 21 1 1- imagination-and the truant ofIicer's. That evening, arriving at his best girl,s home forty minutes too late, Iohnny received a frigid bid to go to- well, any place but her place. After wandering around town, he returned home, locked himself in his room and played his favorite Vic records, break- ing only four during the course of the evening. We Ainft Thru, Lost your gal?

To bring sweet, spicy, summer rains Instead of frosty air. To make the flowers blossom bright, The grass grow green and tall, Oh, yes, we'll all be glad to see Sweet spring, best time of all. Norman Cochran. NEWPORT HIGH SCHOOL 4 I 22 J A Welcomed Guest The sun was shining brightly, On a clear December day, You could hear the train whistle, Near the station far away. A guest would soon be coming, To the farmhouse on the hill, And all within were happy, For they knew it was God's will. Not a guest a year ago, just a member, like the rest, But Uncle Sam had put him Where he now would do his best. The folks were ready, waiting, At the station for the train. Then john came down the platform Humming an old refrain. At last it was all over, He had been and gone again. just three days until Christmas, But he couldn't wait 'till then. We hope that in the future, All the homes will be complete. But we must stop the Axis, We cannot meet defeat. Barbara Tozier. Liberty Across the Atlantic ocean, To Britain across the sea, Many American soldiers Are fighting for Liberty. We must remember also Pearl Harbor and Luzon, For the souls of men who died there We all must carry on. Remember, too, the country, With its many people, too, The land of the red, white, and blue Keep this Hag awaving, Never let it down. We want the U. S. to win the war For freedom and renown. Beulah Leavitt. The Joys of School Life Let me tell you, youthful classes, School is not a tiresome dream. For the student wins who studies, Lessons aren't as bad's they seem. School is real. School is eamest. Let diplomas be your goal. Every lesson that thou learnest Brings contentment to the soul. Not enjoyment and not pleasure Is your destined end or way, But to study that each tomorrow Find you smarter than today. Trust no future however pleasant- Time that's wasted soon is dead, In the minutes that are present Get some knowledge in your head. Lives of graduates should remind you, You can win diplomas too. And departing leave records that Make the old school proud of you. Records that the other classes Overcome by book and peng Tired, discouraged lads and lassies, Seeing shall take heart again. Schoolmates, then be up and coming- Pitch in 'ere it is too lateg Still achieving, still pursuing- Soon you'll be a graduate. Lorraine Clement.

Their class meetings have been de- voted to working out various activities and discussing class affairs. This class first instituted class dues in its freshman year, and is still success- fully carrying out the plan. Freshman Class The Freshmen, as usual, were initiated by the Sophomores and received by the NEWPORT HIGH SCHOUL 26 I ..-H - Seniors at the beginning of the year. They have sponsored two socials and assembly, and a Freshman Speaking Ex- hibition. Those speaking were Doris Stevens, Maxine jones, Dorothy Soper, Geneva Mitchell, Guy Mullen, Gilman Friend, and Frank Pray. Prizes were awarded in war stamps as follows: lirst prize, Frank Pray and Dorothy Soper, second prize, Guy Mullen and Maxine Iones. The highlight of the Freshmen's year was the election of a member of their class, Margaret Fletcher, as queen of the Winter Carnival. Their home room periods have been devoted to class meetings, alternating with Freshman Guidance, conducted by Mr. Storer. Student Council The Student Council this year has been most active in supervising and regulating school affairs. Its member- ship is made up of students elected by their classes to represent them in the council. The council has backed many worth- while projects, including sale of war stamps and bonds, campaigns against gum chewing, and a Pick-Up-Paper Paper Week. The council also backed the newly organized Victory Club and the annual Winter Carnival. The coun- cil has acquired a list of the graduates of this school who have entered the Armed Forces and have presented a Service Flag in their memory at a pa- triotic assembly. Eight members of the council at- tended the meeting of the State Student Council in Augusta early in November.

Advancement in the corps is the same as the regular army method of advance- ment and according to ability. 7 HlHlHlIlS Girls, Athletics The girls started early in the fall prac- ticing basketball. The practices were held twice weekly, with much good work accomplished at each practice. We lost two girls through graduation who were on the first team last year. There were, however, several girls ready to take their places. The basketball schedule was cut down considerably, due to tire rationing and gasoline shortage. We competed with only two schools, Corinna and Hartland. We also played the Alumni twice, and they were both grand games and we benefited greatly from them. The line-up is as follows: fi1Girls earning lettersj :l1Mildred Fletcher - Left Forward Co-Captain johnnie, co-captain, the best scorer of all, VVill help win the victories again next fall, Her spirits high, cooperation great, And when we loose her it will be a fate. i:Madeline Oldenburg Center Forward Another is Maddie, who's certainly true, She iights on gallantly for the white and blue, She scores for N.

Basketball NVith three veterans and a good supply of other experienced men, the prospects of a good team was quite imminent, however the gas situation was some- what discouraging. Although they were unable to play a large variety of teams, they were able to complete a full sched- ule with the nearby teams of Hartland, Corinna, M. C. l., Dexter, and the Alumni. As usual, the boys opened the season by meeting the Alumni five in a game that resulted, this year, in a 32-13 Win Irving Wliers, Frank Pray, Erwin Soule, Albert Fer- for the schoolboys. The starting line-up for the high school in this game was NVeymouth and F ernald at the advance posts, with Davis at center, and Wiers and Soule in the guard positions. This line-up remained unchanged throughout the season, with the exception that jenne shared the left guard position with Soule. ln the Alumni, Condon and Frazer played the forward court, with Neal Davis substituting, Pray,' Nason Worked at center, and Ferris and Bradford were in at the guard positions, with 'iBuddy', Condon substituting. When Corinna journeyed here for the Hrst game of the season the boys had little trouble in handing them a 50-14 defeat, and when they traveled to Hart- land the same week they Won another comparatively easy game, 33-24. The victories were coming pretty easy, but THE LIVE WIRE -t I 35 1 Y still the boys werenit playing good ball and they knew it. Consequently, when they traveled to Corinna the next week they settled down and finally got into the groove to win again, 50-15. They now had a taste of good basketball, but they still had to overcome their slow starts. After the Christmas vacation, the team traveled to Hartland and, for the first time, they got off to a fairly good start, the first period ending with the score 8-1. This game was well played, both defensively and offensively, the final score being 32-16. The scoring at- tack was led by Davis and Fernald, who got five baskets apiece. Weymouth started the early period rally with two beautiful one-handed shots for his share of the scoring, and Wiers collected three set shots from outside the defense. This made five straight victories and it appeared quite probable that they could easily go undefeated. However, after another victory over Corinna on the home floor, a game was obtained with M. C. I., and the boys lost the first game of the season to a fast M. C. I. squad. The boys held their own in the first period, the score being 6-6 at the quarter. However, in the next period the game got away from them and at half- time the score read 22-14. In the third period the boys again kept up with the game, allowing M. C. I. five points and collecting four for themselves. Although the final period saw a series of fast- breaking rallies by the boys in blue, the game was out of control and M. C. I. won, 38-28. As usual, the bulk of the scoring was done by Fernald and Davis, who got six and five baskets respectively. Weymouth tossed in two and Ienne got his first two points. In this game the offensive power of the Bulldogs,' was demonstrated, but the defense was definitely upset by this superior brand of ball. Although it ended their winning streak, this game was probably the most valuable one of the season, or, at least, up to that time. With the M. C. I. game under their belt, the boys traveled to Corinna at the end of the week to play, probably, the best game of their entire season as they won 43-12. They chalked up the best first period score of the season, 17-1, and played a definitely improved brand of ball throughout the game. The half- time score indicating a safe lead, Coach Frazer decided to start the second string forwards and guards with Davis still at center in the third period. This set-up played an even period with the Corinna five, as both teams scored four points. Pray in at right forward scored his first varsity two points in this period. In the final period the first string went in again and, really warm, ended the game with a grand rally of 12 points to Corinna's three. In this game the scoring was evenly distributed among Weymouth, F ernald, Davis, and Wiers. Davis col- lected six, Fernald five, and Weymouth and Wiers got four apiece. The next game might indicate that this victory in- spired the boys with over-conHdence. The next game was with Hartland, here, and before the boys could get off their heels the first period ended with Hartland out in front, 12-7. The Hart- land boys were playing an improved game and the Bulldogs were apparently over-confident, but the first period score was jolt enough to put them back on the ball, and the half-time score was 24-20. The Hartland crew meant busi- ness, however, and for the remainder of NEWPORT HIGH SCHOOL -r I as 1 1- the game they were continually at the door, and it was a frantic Newport five that fought for the winning basket which finally came in the last few min- utes of play. The final score was 30-28. The Hartland tussle was the last so- ealled league game and also the last vic- tory. The season was ended by dropping two games to Dexter and the return match with M. C. I. There was also talk of a game with Brewer High, but it ditln't materialize. The boys were definitely outclassed by the flashy Dexter quintette that came here for the first of the two games. Fer- nald, the only man who was clicking of- fensively, collected 14 of the first five managed to get only a basket apiece, plus a foul shot for Davis. Defensively, the fellows just couldn't hold them and they ran the score up to 52 points, 22 points of which were scored in the final period. The return engagement with M. C. I. was a rough, hard-fought game, and, al- though the boys were close several times, they couldn't pull ahead to win. Charles De Beck played left guard for most of the game and turned in a good account of himself. Davis carried the bulk of the scoring in this game, getting six. Fernald and Weymouth shared the remainder, getting three and two respec- tively. The final score was 33-24. When the squad traveled to Dexter the next week for the final game of the season, only three of the regular starting five were on hand. Soule replaced Weymouth at the left forward berth and Charles De Beck again played the left guard position. The boys worked hard, but they just couldn't click and took a beating to the tune of 60-20. A sad way to finish the season, but better that way than to be content to stick within their own class and call themselves unde- feated. Baseball It was a veteran crew that dug out the equipment last spring and boarded the Bulldog Special for the spring training grounds on Elm Street, and, later on, moved onto the diamond at Witham's Field. As usual, the pre-season training was very prosperous, but as spring fever waned the prospects thinned out and there was left an efficient club, led by such veterans as Carter, Christie, Mul- len, Davis, and Booth. The ensuing sea- son was not as successful as anticipated, but they managed to keep things bal- anced by winning three, losing three, and tying one. The boys opened the season by play- ing host to Hartland on May lst. The boys turned in a good performance, col- lecting six runs to' Hartland's one and playing errorless ball. Soule, Gray and Wiers each hit a double, plus a couple of singles for the two latter, and Christie and Condon each got a single. In the pitching department, Davis allowed only seven hits, issued no walks, and collect- ed 11 strikeouts. One week later the boys traveled to Hampden, to be handed the worst de- feat of the season, the final score being 9-5. There was little action in the initial innings, both teams going down in order. However, in the first of the second an error on the first baseman and singles by Soule, Weymouth and Condon resulted in the first two runs of the ball game. In Hampden's half of the same inning they managed to collect one run, but in the third they went down in order. How- ever, they rallied for three points in the THE LIVE WIRE -ra I 37 J BASEBALL 1942 Coach, Edward Wellman.

The Newport boys didnit threaten again until the seventh and Hnal inning, when Booth walked, Mullen tripled, scoring Booth, and Wiers singled to score Mullen. Carter and Gray went down in order, and then Davis tripled to score WVie1's. But, there, the grand rally ended and the game was over. When Corinna came here the follow- ing week the boys came from behind to win, 5-3. The Corinna nine started things off with a quick run in the Hrst inning, but were unable to collect again until a run for Newport in the third in- spired them to a two-run rally in the fourth. In turn, their rally seemed to in- spire Newport to a bigger rally and the one that clinched the game: Christie singled and stole second, Carter went to iirst on an error, Soule singled, scor- ing Christie, Mullen singled, scoring G y F L Mo t , Iiy VVey uth, F in Soule, War Carter and Soule, Wiers reached Iirst on an error and Mullen scored as Davis grounded out to short. There was little action for the remainder of the game The next Friday Dexter came here to Win a ten-inning thriller by one point 7-6. Our boys took an early lead and stayed out in front until the seventh when a two-run barrage by the Dexter crew tied the score at 6-6. For the next two innings both teams went down al most in exact order, but in the initial frame of the tenth the first batter was hit by a pitched ball, who stole second and scored on a single by the next hitter The next three men went down in order as did the trio that came to bat for New portis cause in their half of the inning It was a hard one to swallowf, so the boys immediately began preparations for revenge in the return engagement at Dexter. The result was a game that the boys will long remember. NEWPORT HIGH SCHOOL -r I 38 1 4- When the boys traveled to East Cor- inth the next Tuesday they couldnit seem to get started until, in the final inning, a five-run rally clinched the vic- tory. Corinth got one in the first and two in the second, to one for the New- port nine in the third. This score held until the final inning, when the boys rallied for live runs and then held the East Corinth nine to only two in their half of the inning, to win 6-5. Then came the return match with Dexter. It was a thriller which ended in a tie in the eleventh inning, as the rain could be ignored no longer. The Newport club came close, but died too soon in the initial inning, and then the Dexter boys got off with a bang, the first live men to journey to the plate made the round trip. For the next four and a half innings the game was a com- plete deadlock-a pitching battle, but in the last of the sixth Dexter broke the spell with a single run, and then with the base on balls running wilder than ever, Newport retaliated with two runs. It was a pitchers' battle, and Davis won, from the seventh inning until the game was called. The Dexter club went down in exact order with the exception of a single in the eighth. On the other hand, Dexter had changed pitchers and the boys in blue and white were begin- ning to stir. In the eighth Newport squeezed out another run and in the ninth came the potentially decisive victory. With two men down, Davis got a base on balls and Carter singled. Then Condon singled, scoring Davis, and Christie walked. Here we have the setup that sports fans pray for-the bases loaded, two men down, and trailing by two runs in the ninth inning. And Soule came to bat. He's nervous but determined. The Hrst pitch comes down the alley shoulder high and Erwin gave it a matter of fact tap on the nose and it traveled neatly into short right field, sending Carter and Condon home with the tying runs. The inning ended with no more action and then the game settled back into another deadlock until the rain took over in the eleventh inning. The results of the pitching duel were as follows: Arguin and Higgins of Dex- ter together got three strikeouts, issued ten bases on balls and 13 hits, whereas Davis collected five strikeouts and issued only three bases on balls and 10 hits. This game was as highly contested on the sidelines as on the diamond, and, consequently, was the most exciting game of the season and one of that variety which will always be remem- bered. For the final game of the season the boys traveled to Hermon and were up- set in one of the biggest upsets of the season. The action started in the second, the Newport nine getting three and Her- mon collecting one. The big guns roared for Hermon in the third as they rallied up five runs, and Davis went to the mound for Merrow to squelch the rally. For the remainder of the game the Hermon crew went down in order, but the boys couldn't break away to Win, although they managed to score once in each of the fifth and sixth innings. And thus ended the 1942 baseball season at N. H. S. The prospects for this year are not quite as bright as in previous years. Graduation claimed Mullen, Carter, Condon, Christie, Booth, and Morton, and Sid Gray is no longer with us, but there are a few ex-grammar school stars in the Freshman class and there may 'ram LIVE WIRE -r L 39 1 1- .

The team competed in two meets dur- ing the season, both of which were at M. C. I. The first meet, on April 30, was a quadrangular meet with F oxcroft, M. C. I. and Hartland. M. C. I. and F oxcroft battled for first honors, getting 59 and 42 points, respectively, and New- port trailed with 15 points, while Hart- land collected only one. In Newport Sid Cray placed first in the high hurdles, third in the low hur- dles, and tied for second in the high jumps, Fernald and Christie tied for second in the pole vault, and Wiers placed third in the javelin throw. On May 25 Newport and Hartland met at M. C. I. to compete for the Central League championship. Newport won hands down, by the score 83-16.

Bub', Davis thought he had solved all his transportation problems when he bought Gene Iarvis's motorcycle, which goes 65 miles on a gallon of gasoline. But he discovered there,s an art to rid- ing around on two wheels. He went to an ex-motorcycle racing driver for some advice. I can start, stop and steer all right, but the machine has so much power it scares me every so often. What,s the cure for that? Don't let that worry you, said the expert, but start the worrying when you stop being scared, when you begin to feel cocky about the way you can handle the machine. Thatls when the accidents happen.

The pungent odor of death lingered in the eaves. On close observation a man's footprints might be seen outlined in the thick carpet of dust. Downstairs there was a quiet scene of sorrow and depression, except for two young children giggling in the corner. A beautiful blond head was sobbing on the comforting shoulder of a dark, tall, sinister-looking man. From a position outside the door, the following conversation could be heard: Cheer up, honey, we finally got the ratf' calmly spoke the man as he blew the smoke from his shining automatic. But the poor thing-he looked-so helpless,-so innocentf, burst the blond with occasional chokes of tears. So what! He deserved it, and got what was coming to him! exclaimed the man somewhat angrily. Mommie canit take it,', sang out one of the laughing children. Jimmie, you go immediately to your roomlv demanded his mother. You should be ashamed of yourself, talking like that, although he Wasii' Never mind,', interrupted her hus- band. But the body, I must dispose of it. You go get some rest.', Returning a short time later, our ap- parent assassin appeared with a burlap bag under his arm. He climbed the lad- der into the attic and disappeared be- hind some packing boxes, being careful not to step into the gooey,' pool of blood. After a series of groans emitted from behind the obstruction, he reappeared with the sack slung over his shoulder, weighted down with a motionless con- tent which dyed one corner of the bag a 4 L511- 1' THE LIVE WIRE NEWPQRT PLAYHOUSE COMING FEATURES -irrl--1 Casablanca Happy Go Lucky Tennessee johnson Stand By For Action Who Done lt?

Quickly he moved downstairs and tossed the bundle into the rear of the car. A blanket was spread over it before he stopped at the local filling station. One unitf he quickly demanded. The Hlling station attendant smelled a rat in the uneasy way of the motorist and the blanket over the form in the back. He stalled for time. You'll have to come in and put your license number and state on that coupon in ink,', he told the driver. All right, but I'm in a hurry, came the reply. While he was signing the coupon, the attendant quietly phoned the police. Once again on the road, the car was turned toward the river. On the bridge the murderer got the sack out and prepared it for its plunge to the bot- tom, as a car raced up and a voice yelled, Put that sack down! But the culprit lifted it quickly to remove all evidence. Immediately a lead slug tore through his hand and the sack plopped to the road. The oflicer quickly opened it to observe the dead body of an ex- tremely large rat. What the-it's only a rat! exclaimed the oilicer. That's right, replied the culprit, meekly hanging his head. Then why the heck did you try to elude the police? questioned the trooper. Because I shot it on the Sabbath with a gun and ammunition bought in the Black Market, was the ashamed reply. Iohn H. Webb, Ir. My Soldier To you, Uncle Sam, I've lent a certain lighting man. Please send him back to me, for to my heart he has the key. He will fight to protect our land, for you I know he'll do the best he can. And of course you know he means a lot to me. He is a swell guy, I want you to know, And will do all he can to lick the foe. In my heart he'll always be, so please, bring him back to me, So that we may again set under the apple tree. There have been wars on the land, and wars on the sea, But this is the war that took him from meg And if we should never again meet, For him my heart will always weep. From Virginia to Maine is quite a leap, So when he comes, I hope you will lend him a jeep, Whether he rides or whether he walks, I'll al- ways be there to greet him, He'll always mean the world to me, for, you see, I love him.

Suddenly he saw one of the upperclassmen boys ahead of him. Hi, Paul! Wait a minute, he called. Paul stopped, and when the other had caught up they walked on, and he ques- tioned, Paul, did you see the 'Bulldog' from M,adisQ11?,' Yes.,' Gosh, it's grand, and what a snapshot page.

S., have been taking a very active part in the State Guard. The Guard was first started by a man in Hartland with a group of men which did so well that it was changed over into the State Guard Reserve by the Adjutant Generalis of- fice in Augusta. Since then the Guard has been making a great improvement in every way. The Guard did not come to Newport for about a year after it was formed in Hartland. This Guard is a branch of the United States Army, which in the case of an invasion from the enemy we are the first to intercept them, in other words, we are the advance guard of the regular army. Our job is to go ahead and harrass, report and delay them before the regular army gets there, but we do not try to hold them for long, for if we did it would be suicide for all that tried it, so we strike and run, then trick them in some other place. The different ways we would slow them down would be to put up road blocks, which would be placed in the most effective places, like where there are high banks or woods on both sides of the roads. As they get out to remove the roadblock we would open fire on them from the banks or the woods. If they should plan to stay in the trucks we have petrol which is kept in a bottle fa whiskey bottle is the best, because they are thin and will break easilyl. This we fill with half gasoline and half crude oil, with a cloth tied around the bottom dipped with gasoline. The cloth of the bottom is set afire when we throw it onto the trucks, which will break, and the oil will run down onto the trucks and start to burn and drive the soldiers out of the trucks. The Guard has turned out to be bet- ter than we expected in every way. We cannot enlist anyone else at present, for we are afraid that we will have a bat- talion. We have now over eighty men in the company. This is the largest com- pany that has been organized in the New England states. THE LIVE WIRE 4 L571 1- C0mPlimentS Of Compliments of c. H. HOUSTON DR.

MAINE BOYS AND GIRLS you too can help Win the War and make money at the same time. The production of food is just as important as the pro- duction of airplanes, tanks and guns. Next summer there will be a definite shortage of help on the farms and in the canneries. Every available worker, including high school boys and girls will be needed to grow and process the tremendous amount of food needed for our fighting men and for the home front.
