Boys reporting tor toothall were Peter Scontras, Clycte Nlacljonalct, Alhert Nohle. Harold Seames, George Vvindsor, Linwooct Braun, Francis Smith, anct Charlie Scontras as manager. The outstanding game ot the season was the one plavect with our ancient rival. Kennehunlc. The outcome saw us victorious hy a score ot4-1-0. Three ol our girls started their haslcethall careers: Patricia Gerow, .terry Nlonroe. ancl Barhara Reed. Three trom the class ot '47 were chosen tor the Speaking Contest, They were Barham Reect, John Violette. and Alice Bean as alternate. The Pop Concert was one ot the most successful events ot the whole year. Two out- standing features presented hy memhers ot our class were the Httts love, love, love quartet. composed ot the Shorey twins, Boh Pettingate, and Johnny Violette. and a mannequin act to --Paper Doll done hy Pat Gerow. 18 THE OCEANA To add to the fund lor our New Yorlc trip, we' conducted popcorn sales at the movies presented every VVednesday night lay the Student Council. The molasses popcorn halls and popcorn, although saltless, were very tasty with oleo-margerine. Roger Jones acted as chel. Sophomore: We started ott our sophomore year with lorty-tour students.

Jerry lVlonroe: Secretary. Jean Shorey: Treasurer. John Violetle: Advisors, lVliss .loan Nlanwell and lwr. Gilley. Student Council memhers were the same as in our freshman year, Placed in charge ol the tirsl school party ol the year, we gave the lreshmen a hearty and memorable reception in the lorm ol a Truth or Consequences radio program with Seiduts tstudies, spelled haclcwardsi as our sponsor. Vve were almost sued lor cutting Nl. VVS fingernails. The star ol the evening was Tommy Gerow modeling janet Dills two-piece hathing suil. The class hilved land hitch-hilcedi to the Cascades lor a picnic. Remember who rode- with the deal man and the resulting dililiculty in getting let out at the right place?

During our sophomore year part ol our class, those talcing College English, presented the play Julius Caesarf, which was a great success, hut it's a good thing Shakespeare wasn't there to see it. George Reeves played the part of Julius: John Violette was Brutus and someone put vinegar in his wine hottie. Barhara Reed and Dot NNehlJ were the rugged stage hands who made their entrance at the end ot each act to change the scenery fthe placards telling where each scene toolc placei. They certainly had a hard time dragging the limp hody ot George oft the stage. We who produced this play and those who saw the production will never forget Julius Caesar. Ol this, we are sure.

Those playing basketball and following games will remember the bus getting lost on the wav to the Berwick Game, the conga-line to Jerryis for ice cream after winning over Kennebunk, lvliss Arnold's getting lost going to the girls' championship playoff with Kennea bunk at Gorham, the three nights we traveled to Traip for the boys' tournament games, and Maureen Mokarzel as our mascot cheerleader.

Senior: As this year was the beginning ol the end, it was highlighted with many interesting social functions all aimed to make more money available for the New York tri scheduled for . P the spring vacation. There were thirty-two students in our class including two returned veterans, Mickey Vvalsh and Bob Vvallace. Robert Pettingale with his wit and humor was missed this year after he left to join the service. Class officers were: President, Linwood Branng Vice-President, Patricia Gerowg Secre- tary, Jean Shoreyg Treasurer, Dorothy Webb: Advisors. Mr. Bean and Miss Baker.

Betty Coomer was the only other senior on t e team. June I3, I04T, marks the olzllicial end of our class as a part of Urchard Beach High School. We know that these years we have spent studying and playing together will stand out as a dellinite part of our lives. and will be the origin ol many lasting friendships. We are anticipating the occasion of our Hfth anniversary when we plan to meet to renew acquaint- ances and compare notes on what shall have happened in the lapse of time. Now we are at the end oi our historical record ol the years IQ43-47. Though there is much more to our history than is written here, we hope these lew recorded facts will serve to keep fresh in the memory of all these Heducationalu years. 20 THE OCEANA NAME Gloria Borron Linwood Bronn Alice Benn Robert Couri Betty Coomer .loim Gilbert Tilelma Critclilc-y Francis Girard Marjorie Davis Adellieri Jokeinnn ,Inner Dill Rene Ledoux Morilyn Dow ilerorne LePelleiiei Reno Ellie Clyde lVlocDonnld Rilo Fiizgibbon Ciiarles Sconirns Patricia Gerow Peter Scontras Esther Miclinnd Francis Smitli Geraldine Mo iiri, e Ricliord Taylor Barbara Reecl lolin Violette Jenn shorey .lonn Sliorey Robert Wallace Katilleen Townsencl George Walsli Dorotixy Webb FACETIOUS FACTS ABOUT THE SENIORS AMBETION to lime irappy go lucliy to live in townt to ioin time navy Ha lcnown to ire six teet tall to raise poultry to get a worcl in eclgewise to be a family nian to lancl a man to ive an executixe to tour Europe to get a Udearu to sing witli time uBCHCllC0Ull39I'SH tn be a cllemisl to become Mrs. ? to go to Alaska to be contented lo ire a cowboy to come clown to cartii to lue a Navy iulliaarli woulcin't you like to imow?

They showed their superiority over the Yoric giris hy taicing them 5l to 25, thus maicing an earIy bid tor the League Championship. At this game Mr. IVIorse piayed Daddy to aII the giris, cheering and sympathizing as the situation warranted. KENNEBUNK - Kennehunic had taicen the titie away from the giris' team for two years in a row hut it they intended to do it this year they were hitteriy disappointed when a strong Seaguiiette team met them on their own iioor, Dec. 19, and siaughtered them 46 to II. Pat Mcsweeny was at a Ioss in the Iocicer room when she discovered that she had mispiaced her white hiouse. Luciiiiy she had hrought her hiue one aiong, so she piayed with Gienn IVIacDonaId's white jersey over it.

Even though they were taII giris they Iaciced the speed and shooting sIciII that our giris had, and consequentiy suffered a Ioss of 39 to 21. It was at this game that Pat IVIcSweeny's Irish showed as she threw the haii. neariy Icnocicing out iVIr. Farmer, an innocent hy-stander.

The trembling Uiroshu had to appear before a prejudiced court ol' sophomores which held its first session on the stage at Alumni Hall. Stiff sentences were given to the freshmen, and they served their terms by going through various antics, which the Court designated, in front of a large and appreciative audience. Those who contributed to the success of the Freshman Reception were: General Chairman, Richard Conwellg Committees: Entertainment, Robert Loranger-lxfiary Pearl: Social, Robert Johnson: Decorations, Deiores Park, Elizabeth Lemieux: Ticlcets, Arthur Mooers: Refreshments, Velma Vviliiamsg Freshman Week, Theodore Manduca. SENIOR DANCE HE Seniors first showing was in the form ol a record dance held in the high school gym lor the purpose of raising funds to cover the costs of their coming big event , the Dixie Nite-Club. In spite of its simplicity, the dance went over big. and proved to he profitable for the Seniors. Such games as Paul Joneses and Lemon Dances added to the lun of the evening. SADIE HAVVKINS DANCE NE of the most outstanding events of the year was the Sadie Hawkins Dance, held on December Il, and sponsored by the Sophomore Class. This type of entertainment was something new to Old Orchard Beach High Schooi, and the student body responded to it with much enthusiasm. The week before the dance was to talce place. the sophomores held a candy sale every recess in the Home Ec. Room, whereby the purchaser of a candy bar could cast Hone vote a bar for the candidate of his ciass for Daisy Mae . After the votes were counted, it was found that Alice Bean, the Senior candidate. had won the title. Her escort, Peter Scontras, was UI..'iI Abner . Uniiice in most dances, the girls and boys were forbidden to dress up for the occasion. instead, the girls had to wear dungarees or slaclis, and the boys reluctantly danced onto the Floor wearing vegetable corsages created by the girls' vivid imaginations. Nlusic for dancing was supplied by Horace Niorse and his incomparabie Beach- combersf' CHRISTMAS BALL . HE Juniors made their debut this year by presenting a semi-formal Christmas Ball. The high school gym was gaily decorated with Yuietide colors and ornaments, with the most crowded spot on the Hoor fwhich, I am told, dancing couples fought to gain possession on being under a sprig of mistletoe, conveniently suspended from the center of the ceiling. Buddy Creugan and his orchestra furnished music for dancing, and a chorus made up of Junior Class members who sang Christmas carols provided seasonal entertainment.

The inspiration tor our theme came from the many questions continuaiiy addressed to us ati summer concerning what we do in the winter when we are iett to ourseives and the ocean tas they thinicj. The booic begins with the ciosing ot the beach concessions and the beginning ot the school year. Throughout it we have endeavored to compile the activities in the order in which they occurred right up to graduation and the reopening of the summer season. For the statt, i wish to thanic aii those students who devoted their time and ettort to the compietion of the book without being under any obligation to do so. Atso I would tiice to taice this opportunity to express our gratitude to Mr. Smith, who so witiingiy toot: upon himself the supervision ot the tinancing ot this book. J.xNr?r Dru. '47, ADJUS'l'M'ENI' We have just passed through an era which has been unsurpassed tor its scientitic advances in the entire history of humanity. Never before has science so untiringiy con- centrated its ettorts on one cherished goat as it has in the past tive or six years. Chemists, physicists, mathematicians, and men ot ati the other waiics of science, have teamed together to produce tor us the implements tor securing peace. in their progress, innumerable compensations have been made to mankind tor the tragic tosses ot the war, Suita drugs, peniciiiin and D. D. T. are mereiy icey words to the great iist ot drugs that have revoiutionized the tieid ot medicine, and promised the tuitiiiment ot man's uni- versai wish tor ionger iite. Amphibians, jeeps, and Hoating navy yards bring to mind a host ot new devices and machines set before the world for approval. in this brief period, tremendous changes have taicen place in the tieid ot aeronautics. New designs in manufacture, and in construction on the whoie, have been introduced. New methods of navigation, caicuiation, and aeriai observation aiso have been devised. 'However, white ati these inventions have been piaced in our modern civiiization. we must bear in mind that the same oid principies are ever existing. Adjustments stiii have to be made. Even on our most recent automobiles it is necessary to turn the wheels and apply the brakes. No guiding force has yet been developed to iceep them on the road automatically. The radio technician stiii has to tune his transmitter to a certain frequency and iceep within his range ot output. The navigator stiii has to adjust for the winds which hold his piane bacic and push him ott his course. And so. we too, are facing the same oid probiems as our forefathers from day to day. We must adjust ourselves to the iite ahead: set our goat and make its standard high. We must tune ourseives to our chosen iife, and tive it down through the years in harmony with ati the rules, overcoming the forces which hold us bacic and siow us down, being careful to stay within our range and to apply the brakes at every sharp curve. 50 THE OCEANA As we. the youth ol today, loolc ahead to tomorrow, let us train our sights on the highest marlt. and adjust our lives to attain the goal of success. ADELBERT M. JAKEMAN, JR., '4T. THE PLANNING OF A MODERN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM ln the planning of and building for a strong country, the education of youth should have first consideration. The war has reminded us ol' many virtues and ideals that we had forgotten. One oi them is the duty we owe to our youth in the provision of their education, not education merely in terms of boolcs, credits. diplomas, and degrees, but education in terms of preparation for living and earning. Some say that our present schools are good enough for our children, that we are educating all youth that should be educated, and that we spend enough already- or even too much -on public education. Uthers maintain that we should do more, that we should have better schools, that all schools in the country should be as good as the best schools today. Those who support the latter view cite obstacles and hazards in the way for better schools, such as our average teacher's salary of only Sl,44l.00g the pressures of political groups for school economy: our high crime and juvenile delinquency rates: the conservatism of school people: and the indifference of the public toward improving education. They point out to us the great inequalities in educational opportunities and the number who leave high school, either because it fails to meet their needs or because they are unable to meet the expenses incident to attending school. Most startling of all, they say. is the fact that 75 per cent of our adults have never completed high school and that now 44 per cent of our youth who enter high school never complete it. Yet, all, agree that education is more important for the future of our nation now than ever before. Most of us are called upon to help decide social issues. As society becomes more complicated, it becomes increasingly true that without high school education, youth is very lilcely indeed to be laclcing in a true understanding of what we call uthe American way ol' life. Furthermore, the logical test of a people's capacity for self-government is its level of education. But not just any lcind of educational system will produce a world where men may live in peace and security. Some lcinds of education are quite indifferent in respect to human and social objectives: some even may thwart and oppose them: others may strongly support such objectives. Modern educators are constantly seelting an educational program that will properly educate America's young people. A program worlcing for the best interests of the student must meet the essential needs of youth. One of these needs is the development of salable slcills that will malce for intelligence and understanding in economic life. ln this phase ol education, practical experience in school is important. Another need is the maintenance and development of good health and physical fitness. Still another is the understanding ol the rights and duties of a citizen oi a democratic society, so that when ot age, a youth will be able to perform with diligence his obligations as a member of the community and citizen ol' the state and nation. Also all youth should have an understanding of the importance of successful family life. Conditions that are congenial in the family are important because they have a direct bearing on community life. The ability to judge the values of purchases and services, and being able to buy and sell with consideration for the economic consequences is imperative to the future ol' youth. Having full lmowledge of the main facts concerning nature and man malces for an enlightened person. ignorance oi scientific truths tends to THE OCEANA 51 create superstition and belief in false, supernatural ideas. All youth should develop an appreciation for aesthetic things such as art, literature, and music. Development of any appreciable taient should be encouraged also. The ability to budget and use wisely time and skills is another great need. This development will tend to make the student more socially useful. Respect for age, race, creed, and the everyday principles that are necessary in order for people to live together co-operatively is a need of youth that is most important because of the fact that we have to live and deal with all Icinds of people everyday. Then too, one of the greatest needs is the development of the ability to think rationally and with understanding. Our high schools have grown rapidly in the last twenty-tive years: so rapidly that careful study of their program offerings was difficult. We have been so busy supplying teachers and textbooks, and enlarging school programs that we have not always given adequate attention to the purposes of present efforts in education. Secondary education needs, therefore, to be re-examined in the light of the estimated future needs of youth and the nature of the society to be served. Each community must determine and build its own school, and it must be planned so as to conform to sound and practical principles of education. In any community the school must be based on certain fundamental assumptions. fl, Education should be planned for all youth, so that economic, geographical, social, occupa- tional, and racial limitations may have full understanding and consideration. Q, Educa- tion shouid be free, provided as a service of the State to its citizens. Qi Education must be suited to the personal and sociai needs of the people it serves. Mi Education should be continuous: it should go on after a youth leaves school. Now is the time for every community interested in the education of their youth to take into consideration the problems facing their own 'locality irl the way of education and start discussion and examination of school programs, school opportunities, laws, and costs, with a view toward building a better program of secondary education. -lol-:N Vlo1.m rR '47. THE MOST BEAL.'TlFL'L VVORD There are many beautiful words in the English language that convey a ioveiy picture to one,s mind. Some will create a specific feeling of duty or respect such as the words home and family. Others, for example vacation and peace, make one happy and glad to be alive. To me the most beautiful word in the worid is America. To hear this word spoken is to listen to the sound of the chapel bells ringing out on a crisp December morning. They tell of the great promise and of the joy of living that will make today better than yesterday and tomorrow better than today. American - it brings to my mind all the wonder and beauty of scenic nature in one great country. Americags lakes, rivers, forests, mountains and all the rest that go to make up a gorgeous world cannot be equalled by any other nation. But it is the meaning in the word more than the beauty in the land it names that stirs within me a sense of loyalty. For America means a place where all people, regardless oi race, creed, or color, can meet and be friends: where children can grow up and not be frightened of the futureg where adults can live and not be mournful of the past. And lastly, this great word stirs me to a sense of devotion, which far surpasses loyalty, when I reiiect that the word is a part of me. America belongs to me and I to itg America 52 THE OCEANA is a tieritage ot wliicti I sliall always be proud. l will try to keep my country good and hne so ttlat its name will remain a lleautitul word to everyone wlio stiall tiear it and tmeconie 1 part of it in time to come.

It was one fifty o'ciock and ten minutes hefore dear Old Qrchard Beach High should make its debut on the airways of America. It was over to Cousin Niarygs house that we scrambled through a porch window to tune in station VV.P.0.R., the radio voice of Vacationiand. There we were with ears giued to the ioud speaker, waiting anxiously to hear from our heioved Hiarainsu. Static was the first response hut soon that was penetrated hy the voice of dear Dr. Goodhar.

PATRICIA GEROW 47. THE FULL MOON in everyhody's lite there are incidents that seem to impiant themselves in oneis mind, never to be forgotten and always to return as it they occurred yesterday. There hasn't heen much excitement in my iite, hut this is something i shaii remember untii I die. it was on the evening ot the twenty-fifth of June, nineteen forty-tive. I was at my station on my ship in Baiikapapin, Borneo. We had been sent down there to sweep out the mine field to make way for the July first invasion. At that time, when the papers at home were talking of an early peace, we were looking forward to at least another year of war with Japan. None ot us dreamed ot the atomic miracie soon to come. in fact, the only hope we had of returning home soon was that we would have to take the ship hack for repairs. At eight-thirty we were given permission to leave our stations and turn in for the night. We hadnyt more than reached our compartments when that nerve-racking blast which we knew as the general aiarm broke loose. Back to the gun stations we went. 54 THE OCEANA The tutt moon, that was in a short time to nearly cause our finish, was just climbing over the horizon. We stood at our posts, cursing the radarman for causing us more toss ot sleep for what seemed to be a false alarm. Although we continually received information over the battle phones that there were three uBogiesn coming in, we could not see them. Then came the unbelievable report that they were too ciose tor radar contact. In the split second that followed I heard the roar of airplane engines and rapid gun tire. Directly over us appeared a large bait ot tire, which we later distinguished as the starboard engine ot the Japanese ptane as it burst into iiames. Remembering our earlier experiences with suicide pianes, we ati ducked down to keep from getting hit, if possible. In that moment when I faced death, I didn't recait att the bad things I had done in my lite nor any ot the good things. My mind just seemed blank to everything except the belief that we were about to be blown to bits. But the explosion never came. The plane, missing our mast by inches, passed over and crashed into the sea. The other two planes were also shot down. Later we saw another ship titre ours pass in front of the moon, and we realized what a prize catch we must have seemed silhouetted against that beautiful tutt moon. THOMAS NIOULEN '48.

A FTERB IATH On one of our smaller mandated isles in the Western Pacific, there lived two young small-scale captains. Une was named Bill Rogers, a wealthy fellow who owned a fair sized semi-pleasure boat which he captailxed because he loved the sea and the feeling of authority he held over the other four men in his crew. The other captain was Don Harrison, a well-built lad, not wealthy, but dependent for a living upon his .inter-island trade that he had built up in the past four years. It was here on this peaceful island, that an intense rivalry was being carried on by these same lwo men lor the love of Teiia, a white girl of Balinese descent, who was the nth degree of femininity. People who saw her declared she was the most beautiful girl in the world. Rumors had it that Don was about to propose, when Bill Rogers came to town. lmmediately a rivalry started because Rogers also was overcome with her charm and beauty. Both men were friendly enough: each respected the other. First one and then the other seemed to have the edge. This had all started over a year ago, and the townspeople were happy as it was about the only thing which they had to tall: about. Finally, the rivalry became so intense that Smilin' Sam Jody, lighthouse lceeper and the wealthiest bachelor on the isle, became official money holder for the people who baclced up their opinions with cash. Soon there wasn't a family in town that didnyt have tive or ten dollars in Sam Jodyls cashbox. The brealc that was to decide things came about one foggy day in August. Bill Rogers' boat had been cast adrift by the sea the night before. He called Don and told him he had to have a boat to talce him twenty-five miles east where the ship bearing his wealthy uncle was doclced. Don offered to talce him over in his boat. They were ready about four-thirty. As Bill got into the boat. Don told Sam Jody on the bank, Keep the cottee hot, Sam, as we will 58 THE OCEANA be in about three ABI. to have some. With this remark Don cast off and the two boys headed out to sea. About three-thirty the next morning the isIand was awakened by an explosion which sent everyone hurrying to the beach to Iocate the cause of the disturbance. Jumping Jehoshaphat, they've hit the reef shouted somebody peering out at a burning mass a scant haIf miIe offshore. Rescue crews started out immediateIy. It is two years Iater and we see Teiia with her husband, sitting pIacidIy in the yard gazing out to sea: a smaII chiId is sitting on the ground at their feet. Oh yes, who is 'I-eiia's husband, sitting now at her side so contentedIy? Why, it's SmiIin' SamI Yes, SmiIin' Sam Jody. Apparently Sam had had reasons of his own for not turning on the searchIight at about 3:00 A.iVI. one morning two years before. CLYDE IVIACDONALD '47.

NIOLNTAIN TOP EXPERIENCES It all began when I was six years oId. I had driven through the mountains severaI times in the car, but it was IiIce any other automoIoiIe trip - the ride impressed me more than what I saw. Then those trips took on a new meaning when the question was put to me, UHOW wouId you IiIre to cIimb a mountain, .Ianet?U Of course the idea had never entered my mind: it was something entireIy new to me -- to cIimb a mountain: why, very few chiIdren ever had the opportunity of cIimbing a mountainI The adventure of such an undertaking and the thought of being abIe to boast of it to the other kids Ied me to express great enthusiasm in response to the question. Niy parents had done a IittIe mountain cIimbing before I was born and now that I was oId enough to join them, they wanted to do more of it. Thus, our weeIc-end trips began. our THE OCEANA 59 first undertaking being lwlount Vvasbington. I really don't know wby we cbose lwlouut Wasbingtong probably because most people wbo bave never done any climbing tbink tbat. if you baven't climbed Vvasbington, you baven't really climbed. Of all tbe mountain trips llve taken fapproximately tbirty-fourl, tbe one on Vvasbington impressed me tbe least. Tbe beauty of nature is tbat it bas been undisturbed by man. To me. Vvasbington bas lost ber place among ber sister mountains because man bas invaded and destroyed tbe sense ot wilderness wbicb is tbe secret to tbe beauty ol: tbe mountains. Some of tbe lesser and more remote peaks present tbe vastness oi tbis primitive land, inbabited only by birds and beasts. Tbe emotion one feels as be stands on a rocky summit at tbe set of sun, looking across at tbe purple and rose sbadows Wbicb are tbe neigbboring summits, is an emotion wbicb no otber scene can arouse. It is a feeling of peace and solitude, yet not one oi loneliness, Une is so impressed witb tbe magnificence and utter unworldliness. wbicb is tbe greatness oi nature, tbat be loses bis sense ol individuality and becomes only a minute fragment ot tbis great universe. I experienced all tbis, but l was too young to comprebend tbe meaning it was intended to convey. l was stirred as l bad never been before but l didn't know wby. Now, as l look back, I can understand wbat l couldn't tben. l bad come face to face witb nature and, for tbe first time in my life, l bad forgotten myself and was completely lost in tbe majestic beauty ot tbe scene before me. ln fact, for tbe tirst time in my lite, I bad seen and felt real beauty. JANET Dru. '4T. THE PORTRAIT Tbe artist seats bimselt before bis canvas, bis palette in bis band, ready to start bis painting. Tbe portrait is to be bis master-piece. How long bas be been working on trivial tbings before be felt confident enougb to start tbis painting? Has it been years? Yes, it must bave been - years tbat seemed like ages. Now tbe model is posed. Tbe artist is not satisfied after a careful survey. Nlove tbe bead a little more to tbe left. Tbat rigbt band, too mucb ot it is sbowing. Tbere, tbat's better. Now, is everytbing ready? Anotber careful survey. Tbe artist is straining every nerve in bis body with con- centration. At last, tbe brusb moves to tbe canvas. Fl-be tirst stroke is made. Tbe portrait wbicb will make bis name remembered tor centuries is begun. After several minutes tbe artist turns once again to bis model. Gadl Tbe position is gonel Notbing remains in tbe same position but tbe feet. Anotber fifteen minutes, possibly bali an bour capturing tbe same position again. Seems like an eternity but it may bave been only tive minutes. ls tbis to bappen every time? it so tbe artist tbinks to bimseli tbat be will go mad before tbe portrait is completed. If be could only get anotber modell How absurd to even tbink of sucb a tbing. No one else would bave tbat unruly gray bair, or tbose black eyes tbat send fear into tbe very beart oi tbe person at wbom tbey are staring. Noi Tbis is tbe model to make bim famous. People from all over tbe world will look at tbe picture and praise tbe artist for tbe scrupulous work put into tbe painting. Several bours bave passed. Tbe portrait is at last beginning to take sbape. Tbe artists nerves are completely sbattered. Not once bas be looked up at bis model tbat tbe position bas not been altered. Tbe model is also beginning to look baggard, so tbe work must be let! until anotber day. Anotber day and tbe work is once more begun. First tbe position bas to be captured: tben tbe careful survey before tbe artist is ready to paint. Vvben looking at tbe model tbe 60 THE OCEANA artist notes the drawn, tired loolc on the moders lace. is the model ill, or did he have a sleepless night? The artist is enraged to thinli the model is not taking care ol himself. Doesn't he realize what this painting will mean when it is completed? Each day the model loolcs a little worse. The artist is sure he will go mad if the painting is not Finished soon. Why can't his model talce care of himself? Why must he spend so much time recapturing the correct pose? Vvhy must so many obstacles get in his way to handicap him? Will he ever finish his master-piece? Millions of questions clutter his mind. ls he too old to finish the portrait? He has been feeling so tired lately. But can he get death to wait outside the door until his worlc is Finished? Can he coax his heart to iceep on beating for just a little while longer? Some days later the artist is found slumped in a chair before a large mirror with the finished portrait waiting for world-wide acclaim. RENA ELLIS '47, KILROY VVAS HERE Perhaps you won't believe this story and I don't lmow whether or not l do either, but this is the way I heard it. There were two brothers whose names were Kilroy and Jeffrey. There were a couple oi years between their ages and Kilroy entered the service of his country while his brother was too young. The brothers didn't like parting and so they decided that when Jeffrey was old enough he would join the service. iwleanwhile, everywhere Kilroy went while in the service. he was to do something to let his brother lmow where he had been. in hopes that they would someday meet. Time passed and Jeffrey was old enough to enter the service. He was sent to different islands in the Pacific and everywhere he went he loolced for his brother's sign. He was about ready to give up hope when one day alter arriving at a new base, on a tree, he noticed a sign which said uKiiroy Vvas Here. He was so glad to see the sign that he decided to continue his search for his brother. After that, almost everywhere he went he found a sign bearing the words UKilroy Was Here. Vvhen he was beginning to believe that he would soon find his brother, he came upon another sign that said Kilroy Died Here. Jeffrey never told anyone of his experience because he felt no one would believe such a story. If he had told anyone, he would have thought he was lcidding. so what was the use? Today people are using this as a jolce, but maybe some poor man did go through such an experiences However, please tell me this, Was Kiiroy really here? , NIARGUERITE NIIOULEN '4O. COURAGIL Courage is something we need all through life, To face this world of sorrow and strife, Courage to win and Courage to fight. Courage lor day and also for night. VVhen Courage is gone, to our sorrow we'll see. How pitiful an object a person can be. So don't lose your Courage: tight and you'll wing iVleet all your troubles with undaunted grin. Nlaybe you'll slip as you malce your way, But Courage will lceep you from dismay. Days wiii be drear and nights sometimes iong, But you'll keep on fighting with Courage along. HERBERT B. FARMER '48.
