Old Town High School held its first Snow Carnival this year at which the sophomores took the honors when Dorothy Leonard, of our class, was crowned queen. Two sophomores, Stora Emmett and Barbara Teele, participated in the Debate Club and gave two main speeches. Six sophomores took part in the three one-act plays. We wish to thank our class advisors, Miss Hathaway and Mr. Emmett, for their kind and thoughtful assistance throughout this worthwhile and enjoyable year. PATRICIA KETCHEN, '50, Secretary.

Many mothers with children trudged over the cobblestone pavement, their minds resting assured that they would find a bargain at the shoe sale, I, too, was straggling along with the crowd, hoping to find a satis- factory mark-down. Just inside the door I caught a glimpse of a plump, jolly-looking policeman, and I squirmed gradually ahead of the crowd. Just as I arrived, the officer hap- pened to open the door, allowing ten per- sons to leave the store and ten to enter. I luckily, or perhaps not, was among those ten to invade Casey's. Bins and bins of shoes seemed to stand out before my very eyes. Red ones with buckles or without, brown loafers, green pumps, blue oxfords, two-toned af- fairsf' and white hand-sewn ones were there. They all seemed to be bursting with color, having the same effect upon me that a whole popper of corn would have had if it burst right in my face. People were crowded together so that they resembled bees in a swarm, but I managed to push my way through the mass to a bin of red shoes. To be sure, these shoes were seconds, but what of it? I was the type to buy at a sale whether or not I was getting a bargain. I was now aware that persons other than myself had been attracted by the red shoes. The reason that I had become aware of this was that both men, women, and children seemed to close in on me after I had gained proximity to the bin. Immediately I began to paw over the red shoes, seeking an eight B. After what seemed like hours, I did find one pair with a wrinkle in the vamp, a Wrinkle which didn't appear important enough to keep me from trying the shoes on. The area in which I had secured footing was so congested that I couldn't even stoop over to get my own shoe off. Can't you imagine what the confusion must have been? Finally, though, with the aid of my second foot I succeeded in wiggling my right foot from my shoe. Then, balancing on one foot, I dropped the red shoe to the floor. I aimed at my foot, but, known as a poor shot, I thought I'd surely fail to land the shoe near the target. I wasn't so bad a shot after all, to my disgust, because I dropped the shoe directly onto my excep- THE SACHEM 3 1 tionally painful corn. I yelped and everyone around me jumped, some away from me, and some directly toward me. One tall lady caught her ring in the veil of my hat, since she had her hand in mid-air when I bombarded my corn and yelped. That catch ended by the removal of the veil from the hat. After even more squirming, shufiiing, and wiggling, I got my foot into the red shoe. The foot was a little cramped and I realized that the shoe was too shortg nevertheless, I was firmly determined to have the shoes. Suddenly, like a whip cracking, I heard mother's voice in my mind warn, Always try on both shoes, Betseyg your left foot is smaller than your right. Remembering this, I knew that my left foot was smaller, and that my left shoe would fit even if my right one was far too small. With the same procedure I removed my own left shoe and tried on the left red one. It was a miracle! It fitted to a T! I then and there resolved to have the red shoes and to wear them home. Now the question was, could I reach down to pick up my own shoes? They were new this week and not from a sale, being really quite expensive. I finally stooped down. Hundreds of feet and shoes were there. Right there in front of that red bin stood just oceans of people. Some of them were kicking, others trying to stoop, and still more learning to work with their feet. All this I saw. but not my shoes. They were gone. What was I to do? I questioned every- one, but not a soul knew of the where- abouts of some plain, dignified-looking black shoes. Everyone was wanting red ones except two persons, the one who had bought my 310.00 shoes for 81.87 and myself. FRANCES SMART, '48, MY MOST UNFORGETTABLE CHARACTER It rained the night I saw him. It wasn't a fast, driving rain, but a slow, thin drizzle, making its appearance along with a damp misty fog. With my eyes I followed him as he walked down the dark, narrow alley. A tall man, he wore a neat, belted-in Army trench coat, which fitted well over his broad shoulders and bore the look of an expensive tailor. His face, although half hidden by an expensive hat pulled low over his forehead, might have been good-looking, were it not for the cruel expression on it. He had cold, steel-blue eyes and a strong, square jaw, giving a hard, forceful look to his youthful face. A curved-stemmed pipe hung from one corner of his very full mouth. He walked with his hands in his deep- cut pockets, and the heavy tread of his feet as they hit the wet ground made one think of spaghetti being slapped against a wall. As he turned the corner, he passed an old lady. With one hand he reached out and grabbed her purse, knocking her aside with the other. Then without a murmur, Humphrey Bogart vanished into the night.

IF I WERE A MILLIONAIRE If I were a millionaire I would not build a fabulous mansion to be admired for a short time and left to rot and de- cay, but I would do my bit toward a bet- ter world by establishing a fund for 32 THE SACHEM students with college ability who need financial aid, giving an annual award to a deserving author, poet, or corn- poser, supporting youth organizations, such as Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Y. M. C. A., and Y. W. C. A., and establishing a fund for cancer research. First, estab- lishing a fund for students with college ability who need financial' aid will do much toward bringing out talent which otherwise might be lost to the world. Prevailing conditions prevent many from obtaining a higher education. Un- der the above plan, two students from each country in the world, chosen by process of elimination through a series of tests, would benefit from this fund, which would pay tuition, books, and living expenses at the college of their choice. Their only obligation would be to attain a rank of B or above. My second contribution toward a bet- ter world would be an annual award to a deserving author, poet, or composer. I have chosen to award them because of the beauty they can give to the world through their works. Regardless of race, color, or creed, any author, poet, or composer would be eligible for the award, his contribution being judged for its greatness and beauty. Through it, the people might in time cherish love and beauty to the extent of ruling out all war with its hate and ugliness. In the third place, I would support youth organizations, such as Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Y. M. C. A., and Y. W. C. A., because their goal is the guiding of the world's youth to a greater under- standing of humanity. If We are to have a better world, we must strive to under- stand that man is created equal, we must strive toward an understanding that no one race or nation is master of all other races and nations. These youth organizations work to prove just that, they make no racial qualification for membership. Because they are striving to teach that we can play and live to- gether peaceably, these organizations deserve our support. My fourth and probably my most im- portant contribution would be a fund for cancer research. With millions dy- ing from cancer every year, a cure for this disease must be found. This fund would furnish money for the construc- tion of research laboratories and hos- pitals, also the money for the salaries of doctors, nurses, laboratory techni- cians, and scientists could be obtained through this fund. Suspecting that he has cancer, anyone could be treated at any of the established hospitals without charge, in this way doctors would have many cases to study and diagnose. If we wish to have a better world, we must first have healthier people. If we give help to deserving students, if we encourage authors, poets, and com- posers, if we encourage youth organiza- tions, and if We help to find a cure for one of the world's most treacherous dis- eases, we shall be that much nearer to our goal, a better world with an abun- dance of intelligence, beauty, under- standing, and health.

Hearing your cheery tinkle in the morn- ing makes my heart skip a beat. It is delightful to see your smiling face when I awake. Your tender little hands seem to beckon me to hop out of bed and ven- ture out to meet the world with a happy heart. When nightfall comes, I am hap- py to wind you, to set your hands on the proper time, and to prepare you for the next tedious twenty-four hours. I want to apologize for my actions THE SACHEM 33 Sunday. I was out late Saturday night, and 1 nated to get up. I hope you weren't nurt when I threw you onto the floor. Un, dear alarm clock, I wonder how I could live Without you. Your existence is my existence. I hate to think of the time when you will grow old and useless. I shall keep you always with me, regard- less of time and age. As much as I hate having to do so, I must close now. I shall count the min- utes until I see you again. All my love, Norman. NORMAN OUELLETTE, '48. bk wk wk wk STALLED Stalled. Five miles from town, the temperature nearly down to zero, 11:30 at night, and I stalled the car motor just as a person might who had never driven before. It didn't start the first time I tried, nor the second, third, or fourth. Must be flooded, I muttered, or maybe the battery is low, if it isn't, it certainly will be if I keep trying to start the car. Maybe if I push it a few feet it will start. Yes, I pushed the old crate. I pumped the starter. I coaxed it and spoke harsh- ly to it. Suddenly an unpleasant thought occurred to me. I quickly turned on the dash light and looked at the gas gauge. It looked all right, but I thought I'd bet- ter check the amount in the tank. After some time I discovered a small stick, with the aid of which I found that there was an ample supply of fuel in the tank. What shall I do now, I mused, as I tried to recall all the things that could possibly be the matter with a motor that just stalled and wouldn't even turn over when I attempted to start it again. Us- ing my limited knowledge of cars, I checked the battery, the spark plugs, the wiring, and nearly every part of the machine that I thought might be afflict- ed, but all this effort was to no avail. Meanwhile the temperature of the in- terior of the car was gradually becom- ing equal to that of the exterior. Finally, with no other alternative, I started walking to the nearest phone, which proved to be twenty-five minutes away a pied. Upon receiving permis- sion from an ill-humored farmer whom I had awakened, I went through the list of garages systematically before I came upon one which was open at that late hour. Sure, buddy, I'll be out in no time flat, a gruff voice bellowed in my ear. My mind was relieved as I replaced the receiver and thanked the sleepy old man, but a half hour later I began to wonder just how long no time flat was. I pro- ceeded to wait in the sub-freezing tem- perature of that modified ice box until I made up my mind to start the car as though nothing at all were the matter, and that is exactly what I did. By the time I had driven into town I had become warmed by the heater and my anger at the garage man had sub- sided somewhat. Upon analyzing my conversation with him, I realized that I had failed to give him my location. You will want to know what was the matter with the car, and so did I. To simplify the answer I received from the mechanic, let me say that it was a pecu- liarity of that particular make of starter to act in this strange manner on some occasions, especially when the part is worn and the temperature is low. Need- less to say, I had the worn part replaced immediately.

From behind the dispersing clouds came a burst of stars, pouring their light down on to the earth. I was amazed at their brightness, seeing how they filled the night with their soft lus- ter. Moving along, I was accompanied by their beauty. My thoughts were among the constellations. I could almost feel myself as one of the princes of that starry universe. ARNOLD NICKERSON, '48, als :F PK :K SOUNDS THAT AROUSE MEMORIES Being a woman of seventy and having led a very happy life, I now have many memories. Some of the sounds that arouse these memories are sweet, old- fashioned songs, the chirping of crick- ets, thunder, and church bells. In the first place, such songs as I Love You Truly and The Waltz You Saved For Me remind me of days when I was young and used to dance to these and similar tunes. It was at one of these occasions that I met Dick, and because we both liked to dance so well, we went often to dances and learned to love these beautiful songs. Now, whenever I hear some old song played, I stop and think of the times I have danced to that par- ticular tune or sung it at some party. Secondly, I love to hear the sound of crickets chirping. That is when I wish I were young again and home on the farm. Many times Dick and I would run through the fields down to the swim- ming hole for a swim in the evening. Then we would lie on the grass and lis- ten to the crickets. The fun we had at the old swimming hole is a memory very precious to me. The third sound that arouses a mem- ory is not quite so pleasant as the others. It is thunder and it recalls the day the lightning hit our barn. It was on Sun- day and everyone was at church. We saw the blaze and when we got home the barn was all aiire. The house was saved but the shed and barn were lost. Conse- quently, every time I hear thunder I think of this incident and therefore I have great fear of such storms. The last and most important sound that arouses memories is church bells. When I hear them, I remember how the church bells rang the day Dick and I had our big wedding in the old white church. I think that was the happiest day of my life, and although I am now confined to my bed, I still think of this day when I hear the sound of church bells. J OANNE EAGER, '48. Sk if wk wk A POEM TO END ALL POEMS -O joy and stuff and ecstasy, A poem to write is bound to be A pleasure so intense, I cannot help but sigh with glee, And flap my ears for all to see, Before I can commence.

ERN11:s'r1Nn L1'rTLEF1ELn, '49. as an as wk TADAS' OPINION OF THE JAMBOREE Three more days and the Jamboree will be over, thought Frank. Boy, it's going to be great to get back to America and have some real food again. Hey, Joe, just think, we'll be leaving for home in a few days. Yes, that's right, Frank, answered Joe. The Jamboree has been swell, and living and working with boys from all over the world has certainly been an unforgettable experience, but I can still hardly wait to get home. A number of the boys are complaining about the food, too. It certainly doesn't compare with what we have been accustomed to back home. I was just thinking the same thing myself. Oh, say, Joe, have the boys set THE SACHEM 35 another place at the table this noon, will you? I met a fellow from Lithuania this morning and invited him to have dinner with us. Guess he had quite a rugged time during the war. It seems his father was killed by the Germans, and he and his mother were held in a concentration camp until they were freed by the allies. 1-Ie isn't much better off now, though, since the Russians have taken over his homeland, Lithuania, and none of his people have been allowed to return there from Germany, where they had been held prisoners, since the end of the war. He seems to be a swell chap. A few hours later Frank looked out of his tent and saw his newly acquired friend, Tadas, the Lithuanian boy, en- tering the campsite. Hello, Tadas, come on over, I want you to meet a friend of mine, Joe Brown. The Lithuanian youth joyfully replied, Greetings, Frank. It is indeed a pleas- ure to meet you, Joe. Say, do you fel- lows realize that the Jamboree is almost over? This gay life has passed so quick- fboysj, there will be another Jamboree ly-is a pity, indeed. But, keep smiling after some years, then we will meet again. You know, the expressions of this Jamboree I will keep for my whole life. I think you will never forget it, too. Isn't it? ' The food is so wonderful here. Back home fhome was a displaced per- sons' camp in British Occupied Ger- manyj we never have meat more than once a week, and the soup we have sel- dom has anything but potatoes for a base. The rest of our meals consist of water, bread for at least one meal a day, crackers for the meals without bread, and sometimes, when we are very fortu- nate, a little jam. But here we have all the bread we want, and such wonderful bread fit was corn bread and so hard that the boys in the American camp had been eating only the very center of each loafj. And can you imagine! We get so much food in our daily allotment at my camp that it isn't even necessary to ra- tion it among the boys. Everyone has all he wants to eat and there is still more left over. Now, after I have seen an un- clestroyed life, such like it was before the war, I got a great wish-to get away from Germany, from Europe, as soon as it will be possible. 'f Later that evening a quieter, more serious Frank said to a similarly changed Joe, You know, Joe, that food certainly tasted swell this noon. I didn't even miss not having meat. It surely is wonderful that no matter what country you're from you get the same food as anyone else here at the Jamboree. I'll say. You know, watching Tadas' eyes gleam when he saw the food brought onto the table, the same kind of food we have been complaining about, gave me a new appetite. I think that's why the food tasted so good this noon, Frank. You're right, Joe. The lesson Tadas has taught us today we shall always cherish as one of the most valuable of our Jamboree experiences. Is that Jim walking towards us ? Yes, it is, replied Joe. Hello, Jim. I-Ii, fellows. Boy, just think, two more days and we'll be leaving, ex- claimed Jim. Yes, we know, Jim, replied Frank. It's a shame the Jamboree has to end so soon. I wish it could last a while longerg we've just now begun to really appreciate the true meaning of the Jam- boree. Say, what are you fellows talking about? asked Jim. Why, only this morning I heard you two exclaiming over how glad you were going to be to get back to America. Well, Jim, replied Frank, It's a long story. Come into the tent and we'1l tell you about it. ' Italic portions of Tadas' remarks are actual quotations from a letter written by Tadas to the writer. RALPH E. LEONARD, '48, lk ill Ik 41 MY FIRST SPEECH The moment I was called upon to speak, I had a premonition that some- thing would happen. I had practiced my speech until I had it letter-perfect, and surely no one could possibly have found fault with my appearance. My hair was neatly combed, my tie in a perfect knot, 36 THE SACHEM and my suit spotless. Still, I had that feeling. I knew I mustn't stand there and let myself be bothered by such trivial mat- ters. I had a speech to deliver. Slowly, taking a deep breath with every other step, I advanced to the center of the stage. I felt all eyes turn toward me, and I stood there, helpless, under their scrutinizing gazes. Suddenly I remem- bered that cowlick which stood up on the back of my head, and, as I quickly ducked my head to hide my embarrass- ment, I noticed that when I had finished polishing my shoes for this great event, I had forgotten to roll my pants' legs down again. I quickly raised my head, hoping against hope that they had not noticed this catastrophe. Are you wondering how I got out of such a predicament? I don't blame you. I am too. Maybe tonight my dream will be continued. Let's hope so, for tomor- row I might have to write another theme. BARBARA SUCY, '50. bk 214 Sk ik THE LOVE OF ANGUS Fall had arrived. The trees were beau- tiful with their red and gold hued leaves. Nearly all of the leaves had been blown away by the wind and had gone to their beds. Some landed by the roadside and others blew far away. There was one big leaf left at the top of a big oak tree. Of course everyone knows that there are girl-leaves and boy-leaves. I shall call this one Angus. He was of the muscular type with a large, thick stem and browny veins. He had a pale yellow mid- dle and an apple green fringe around the edges. Now, Angus was very lonely. He was sulky and growled to himself all day. One day he growled, I wish the wind would blow me away, so far away that I would never see this place again. A few days later the leaf got his wish. A big gust of wind came along and said, Now, Angus, you are going to get your wish. You are going to go far, far away to a place which you have never seen before. The wind blew harder and harder. It set Angus free from the tree. As he floated slowly over the earth, An- gus's eyes were wide with wonderment. He had never realized just how large the earth was. He floated over fields, hills, and farmhouses. As he went along he hummed a merry little tune, Tra-la, tra-la-la. It began to get dark. Angus wondered if he would ever stop or would he keep on going forever. He remembered now what the gust of wind had told him and he began to get scared. Suddenly the wind stopped blowing as quickly as it had started. Angus floated slowly down to earth. It was pitch dark by now and he couldn't see anything. Angus was the grumbling type and he started right in growling, I wish it would hurry up and get light so I can see where I am. I wish there were someone here to talk to 29 Suddenly he thought he heard a voice. Angus listened. Yes, it was a voice. At first it was far away and then nearer. The voice was saying, Ouch! you're hurting my stem. Move over. Angus moved over. He asked, Wha-who are you ? The voice answered, I am a little maple leaf. My name is Addie. What are you doing here ? I was the only leaf left on a huge oak tree and I was awfully lonely. I wished that the wind would blow me so far away that I would never see that old oak tree again. My Wish was fulfilled and here I am. Angus lay there wondering what Ad- die looked like. She had a cute little voice. He could hardly wait for morning to come. His heart kept beating faster and faster. What was the matter? Never before had he felt this way about a girl. At last morning came and Angus be- gan to view his surroundings. He had landed on the lawn in front of a huge white house. He looked at Addie. At first he only peeked at her out of the corner of his eye, but he liked what he saw so he looked right at her. Why, she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. She had a slender stem and a beau- tiful shape. A deep red, tinted with specks of orange, set off the bright yel- low of her middle. His heart came up THE SACHEM 37 g in his throat and he couldn't speak for a minute. At last he asked, Have you been here long? No, I used to be on that big maple tree over there on the corner of the lawn. Two days ago the Wind set me free from the tree and I landed here. I wonder who lives here. I haven't heard anyone yet. I don't know. They were away all day yesterday and didn't come back un- til late last night. Angus and Addie listened. They heard voices. They waited. Soon three little children came dancing out on to the lawn, the cutest children Angus had ever seen, but of course he had never seen many children. They were coming out to play in the leaves. Angus and Addie lay there waiting. Suddenly the little boy stepped right in the middle of An- gus's stem. My, how it hurt. He cried out in pain. Of course, the boy didn't hear him because people don't believe leaves can talk. Addie snuggled up closer to Angus and they lay there, dreading each time a child jumped into the pile of leaves. Finally, the children got tired and went away. Angus heaved a great sigh and moaned, Oh, my aching stem. I think it's either broken or badly bent. Each day that Angus spent near Ad- die he got to know her better. One day he discovered that he was falling in love with her. He dreaded the time when the wind might separate them. One night when everything was still Angus said, Oh, Addie, dear, I love you. I can't bear the thought of our parting. Please say that you love me. Yes, Angus, I have loved you ever since the first day I saw you. I didn't tell you because I wanted you to say it. Oh, my darling, let us join stems. No matter how hard the wind blows or how hard it storms we will never be parted. They joined stems the next morning. Soon the snow began to fall and win- ter came, but Addie and Angus didn't mind at all. They had each other. They huddled closer together and prepared for their long winter's sleep.

Pk HF 41 wk MY MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT My first piano recital is an event I shall remember forever. The people were all assembled. I was to be the sixth one to play and I wasn't scared, because it would be a long time before my turn to play came. Then a funny thing hap- pened. Before I knew what was going on, the fifth pupil was playing his piece. My heart began to dance. I had goose- pimples. The room was going round and round. Through the haze I could see my teacher motioning for me to take my place at the piano. I was sure I'd faint before I got there, but the next thing I knew-there I was. I started to play, and everything was going along nicely until-I had to turn over the sheet of music. My hands felt like lead 3 they just wouldn't move. The only hope left was to play the first page over. I did this and the same thing happened, so I began over again for a third time. Then my teacher interrupted and said, That's fine. Oh, the ridicule of it all! I took one leap from my chair and ran out of the house. On my way out I tripped over the doorstep and fell. The next thing I knew my mother was bending over me and laughing, but all I could do was cry and cry. I had been a failure in my first attempt at a musical career. PATTY KETCHEN, '50. 38 THE SACHEM A JEEP RIDE Last winter while I was visiting friends out of town I had my first ride in a jeep. Just the thought of it scared me. To look at a jeep makes one think that it could not stand too much wear and tear. I found out different. When my friend offered me a ride, I hesitated at first, but after some coax- ing I hopped in. At first the trip wasn't too bad, as we were on a level highway, but when we turned into an old country road it was very much different. The jeep seemed to be in the air most of the time. Every bump we took, not only the jeep went into the air but I went too. It was just after a light snow fall and the tire prints could be seen plainly. My friend said he would make a figure eight in the new fallen snow. This certainly frightened me, for the jeep reeled back and forth as we turned the sharp cor- ners. We did not stop after one figure eight but made several. By that time my hair was standing on end. My friend then proceeded to prove that a jeep did not turn over. He climbed banks, turned sharp corners and curves, and did about everything else that it is possible to do with a jeep. I decided then and there that it was time to go home. We took the same route back to the house, but now I was pre- pared for the bumps. When I reached home and had my feet on solid ground, I told myself that if I was ever to ride in a jeep again I would have to be assured that the road would be a smooth one. That is one experience I shall never forget. THERESE MARTIN, '48. 214 wk Sk Bk QUALITIES OF IDEAL MANHOOD In sizing up all the nice young men I know and noting the things that I ad- mire in them, I consider these five quali- ties most important in an ideal man: a sense of humor, enthusiasm, courage, intelligence, and generosity. First and foremost, an ideal man will certainly have a sense of humor with which to appreciate all the wonderful things and to pass lightly over the not-so-wonderful things. A-sense of humor will give him patience with imperfection, tolerance of things strange to him, and a tempera- ment which is flexible with people, places, and situations. With a sense of humor, he will be able to accept blame, doubt, insult, and flattery and give them all the same treatment. This ideal man who possesses a sense of humor will have an even disposition and a smiling out- look and thus make others comfortable with his own tactful unconcern. Besides his good-naturedness, the ideal man will be enthusiastic. So much will he enjoy living that others will be infected by the same zest which he ap- pears to have. He will be quick to accept new ideas and suggestions if they seem plausible to him. He will be quick to laugh at a joke and again to sympathize when sympathy is due. His job will be done better and his recreation will be more constructive because of the keen interest he will hold. Everything he does and every one with whom he associates will be enriched because of his enthusi- asm with them. Courage, also, must be a quality pos- sessed by this wondrous man, not cour- age to kill fiery dragons, but ordinary modern courage to stick by the right in spite of the majority which calls to him. When crowds are urging him to abandon his convictions, he will stay by what he believes, regardless of his conspicuous- ness. To go with his courage, my ideal man must have intelligence. He needn't have a great deal of book learning, but he must have a kind of common-sense in- telligence that gives him the knowledge of what to do and when to do it. He must acquire certain principles of right by observation and experience, keep them with his courage, and confirm them with his intelligence. Above all, this man must be generous and he must possess the quality of gen- erosity in excess of all the others. His generosity will be for people, ideals, creeds, and ideasg it will show up in his thinking and acting and speaking. With his generosity will go love of people and respect for their thoughts and personal- ities. Generosity will have made him ob- THE SACHEM 39 servant of others so that he will look for reasons for their deeds and thus not be so quick to criticize. That difficult ac- complishment of being able to put him- self in another's place will be his. In these five qualities, sense of humor, enthusiasm, courage, intelligence, and generosity, can be found nearly all of the admirable traits which one would look for in an ideal man. ETHEL MAE SCAMMON, '-48. TOMMY Tommy is the boy next door, and he's always teasing me. Now this little de- mon is only two years my elder, but the way he acts at times you'd say he was at least ten years my junior. 'io begin with, he is tall, dark, and more or less good-looking. All six feet of him, plus his childish attitude, are probably responsible for his actions. This person is always insisting that he should be the one and only to escort me to all the dances and goings-on at the school or in the community. If that isn't just like a boy, trying to practically own you. Well, I put my foot down and declared myself the ruler of my life. Where I go, and with whom, is my prob- lem. Nevertheless Ma is all the time taking Tommy's side and saying, Now, Peg dear, he's a very nice boy, and you ought to go out with him once in a while. Isn't that just like a parent? And so, what do I do? Naturally, with everyone urg- ing him on me and pushing me his way, I end up going to the dance with him. But on the other hand, he helps out in a crisis, like the time Peter developed the measles, and I was left with no one to take me to the Country Club Dance. In came Tommy all bright and beaming, and he took me to spare me later embar- rassment. I suppose you could call him hand- some in an awkward sort of way. At least, that frivolous blonde who is al- ways ,trying to get him says he is. And all of the girls at Elmwood High School just simply drool when we enter our classes together. But I don't care, be- cause he doesn't mean a thing to me. Not at all ! Besides, I have just oodles of dates and everything with Peter, Alec, Bob, and Misha, who are supposed to be the ones at school. I never have to stay home week-ends like some girls I know, and I'm always invited to all the parties and everything. So I consider myself quite lucky. All in all, I'd get awfully lonesome if Tommy wasn't there when I need some- one to listen to me. And he comes in mighty handy during a major crisis, like that Country Club Dance. So I guess he isnit so bad after all. Maybe I'm a little bit severe. Perhaps I ought to take into consideration the good points about that hunk of man that lives across the yard. Let me see. He swims, dances quite well, is a wizard in football and basket- ball, plays tennis, sings, and is really an all-round sport. And, gee, maybe Tommy likes me a little, and that's why he teases me so. When you add it all up, what do you have? A really swell guy-that's my Tommy. JEAN LEMIRE, '49. Sk Ik Pk bk IT'S NOT A BAD OLD WORLD Every writer must have some brains, Miss Parker, so I doubt if you will ever become a writer ! Mr. Tanner was rav- ing at Rusty while, terrified, she stood before him. She had written her first feature story and Mr. Tanner had just read it and turned it down. When Rusty had passed her story in to Mr. Tanner, she had been proud of it. Rusty had graduated from high school in June and was now working on the Centerville Times. Shel had been doing small jobs, and the previous week Mr. Tanner had told her to write a feature story on the Centerville Y. M. C. A. Rusty had worked hard and when she finished she was proud of herself. How- ever, when she left Mr. Tanner's oflice, her heart was in her shoes. She consid- ered herself a first class flop. She put her story on her desk and then left for home. It was only four o'clock, but her work had been passed in and there was no reason for her to stay. After Rusty had left his office, Mr. 40 THE SACHEM Tanner started to read his mail. The nrst letter he opened was from the own- er of the Centerville Times, who man- aged a larger paper in New York. Mr. Bryant, the big boss, was arriving in Centerville on the seven o'clock train that evening. Being a nervous man, Mr. Tanner was in a dither. Hastily he sum- moned the force to his office. Everything must be cleaned up and cleaned up quick- ly. Since Rusty's desk was always im- maculate, no one had to touch it. The only article on Miss Parker's desk was her spurned feature story. Mr. Bryant arrived on time and imme- diately headed for the office with Mr. 'Banner trotting behind him. Mr. Bryant talked in a steady stream of words and Mr. Tanner gathered that his boss was not satisfied with the Centerville Times. When the two men reached the office, Mr. Bryant peered around and said, No wonder this paper stinks! I see your force here has nothing to do but sgraighten up their desks. In my office everything is a mess and I'm proud of it. I have a busy force. Mr. Tanner shivered at these words. After all, he gave the orders for the place to be cleaned. Poor Mr. Tanner couldn't understand why Mr. Bryant was so upset. The sale of the papers hadn't fallen off, but they hadn't in- creased either. He considered himself quite competent. Why, hadn't he kept a crumby story from being printed just today? Mr. Bryant paraded around the officeg then he stopped and stared at Mr. Tan- ner. Mr, Tanner, he began, what is the matter with you? I've neglected to keep a careful watch on this paper be- cause I thought you could run it smooth- ly. Now I doubt it. Your front page is okay, but why shouldn't it be? Every word on the front page is typed to you over the machine. Your comics are all right, too. They're syndicated. But your local news and feature stories take the cake. There's no variety, no interest, no nothing! As he said this, he glanced at Rusty's desk and noticed her story lying there. He picked it up and ran over it. He showed a sign of surprise, then started to read it thoroughly. It was good, but it hadn't been printed. .It was written in a style that Mr. Bryant knew hadn't been written by one of the regular feature story writers. Mr. Tanner flinched as he saw Mr. Bryant reading Rusty's feature. He knew himself that the story was bad. He made a mental note to fire Rusty the next day. What a surprise he received when Mr. Bryant said, Now that is a story! This is worth publishing! Why wasn't it in tonight's paper ? Mr. Tan- ner stuttered and stammered as Mr. Bryant went on, Phone Rusty right away and tell her to come to the office. I want to talk to her. On the way to the office Rusty was be- wildered. Why had she been called '? What had she done? When she reached the office, she knew right away that the man with Mr. Tanner was Mr. Bryant. She had seen pictures of him and she idolized him. After a long session with Mr. Bryant, Rusty left the oflice in a daze. Rusty was now the front page feature story writer of the Centerville Times with a promise from Mr. Bryant that as soon as she had changed the styles of the other writers in the office she would be promoted to a job on Mr. Bryant's paper in New York. What's more, Mr. Tanner would no longer be giving orders to her but taking them from her. Even Mr. Tanner's editorials had to be okayed by Rusty Parker, the girl who up until nine o'clock that evening had been a flop. It was then she decided that it wasn't such a bad old World after all. ELAINE O'GRADY, '48. wk Bk wk Sk AT THE DENTIST'S When I was young, about five or six years old, my greatest dread was the dentist. I would rather bear the pain of a toothache than go to see him. The first time I went my mother took me, and how she suffered. I remember screaming as I sat in the waiting room. Mama tried to interest me in a china bull dog standing on the table, but it was of no use. Then my turn came. The den- tist came out and smiled, then took me THE SACHEM 41 into the other room and talked about everything except having teeth pulled. He even let me play with a pair of false teeth that opened and shut, and then he slyly lifted a pair of pullers from the drawer. I screamed. Another dentist, who was in the workroom making false teeth, came running and when he saw me he tried to tell me it Wouldn't hurt. I knew better, so I screamed louder. My mother coaxed me with promises of dolls, candy, soda-anything. The dentist patted me on the shoulder. Come on, he saidg it won't hurt. Think of all the nice things you'll get. There, that's it. There! The tooth was out. Why, it hadn't hurt a bit. I was ashamed of myself, but with a joyful face I took Mama's hand and made her come to fulfill her prom- ises. I can tell you a secret, though, if you promise not to tell anyone. I haven't had a tooth pulled at the dentist's since that time. I'd rather swallow it than suffer another such experience. HELEN YORK, vk as wk as FOUR GHOSTS I WOULD LIKE TO MEET Four ghosts I would like to meet are Louisa Mae Alcott, Juliette Lowe, Edgar Allan Poe, and Napoleon. In the first place, I would like to meet the ghost of Louisa Mae Alcott, the famous author of girls' stories. Louisa Mae Alcott was born in 1832 and died in 1888, having been born in Germantown, now a part of what is known as Philadelphia. I have read a number of her books and every story lives in the heart of the reader. Her experiences are reflected in such books as these: Little Women, Little Men, Jo's Boys, and An Old-Fashioned Girl. Little Women had the honor of be- ing the most popular girls' book ever written in America. Most of the stories written by Louisa Mae Alcott contain experiences of her life. I list her among mv favorite authors. The second ghost I would like to meet is Juliette Lowe. She is beloved by girls the world over. Born in 1860, she died at the age of sixty-seven in 1927. She founded the first Girl Scouts of America. In Savannah, Georgia, on March 9, 1912, she organized the first group of Girl Guides. These Girl Guides were changed to Girl Scouts in 1913, and their head- quarters were moved to New York City. Don't you think Edgar Allen Poe would be an interesting ghost to meet? If you have read any of his stories, you must think that he was a strange man. Where and how he got his plots would furnish material for an interesting con- versation. Some people claim he was an alcoholic and he obtained his weird ideas for stories while he was in a. drunken stupor. I would much rather think of him as a great man and a genius who lived in a world of his own making. Com- paring Poe with Orson Welles, I think they are in the same categoryg both had ideas, but they were misunderstood by the people. We have Edgar Allan Poe to thank for the advancement of the short story. Not only was he a writer of short storiesg he was a poet as well. I imagine conversing with him would have been as thrilling as reading one of his stories or poems. The last and undoubtedly the most im- portant ghost that I would like to meet is Napoleon, the great emperor of France, He came nearer to completely conquering the world than anyone else who has tried. Napoleon conquered practically all the known world of his day. This included the countries of to- day, England, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Turkey, parts of Russia, and the northern part of Africa. Thomas J effer- son had to make a deal with Napoleon to secure the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. Napoleon's ghost would be able to tell me all about his travels and ad- ventures. his problems and successes. It also would be interesting to see what the reactions of this ghost would be to todav's modern Ways of living and the modern way of fighting a war. What I could have done with a fully equipped airplane, Napoleon would say. THERESE MARTIN, '48. JOSEPHINE STEWART, '48, RITA MORANCY, '48.

I cheerily open the living-room door, And ask my brother, who's spread on the Hoor, Where's Sis? I want to dance some more. Sis is shooting herself with a gun. One more worry. I rush up the stairs, throw open the door, 'Specting to find her all dead on the fioor. But lo and behold, she's just crying N'ere more. One more worry. Telling me all, I find to my glee- Looking around no blood can I see- She's rehearsing a part for the school jam- boree. No more worry. BETTY KETCHEN, '49. 1- ar -r 1: NO CAN DO I sit me down with pen and ink To prove I'm not a poet, I can not rise to lofty heights, I want you all to know it. I can play a little football, A little baseball too, But when it comes to writing poems I just say, No can do! I boast a little talent At sawing the major keys Up and down the cello strings With confidence and ease. But when a poet's lines you ask me With ecstacy sublime, Isn't this suiiicient proof That all I do is rhyme ? Sronme EMMETT, '50, 4: 1: 4: It THE BALLOON MAN Over on the corner, The balloon man stands, Holding fast the slender threads, Wound around his hands. Balls of royal purple, Balls of brilliant blue, Gleaming reds and yellows, Nod their heads at you. Sometimes one gets loosened, And floats away up high, Till it's just a tiny speck, Sailing in the sky. I love to see him standing, With his cluster gay and bright, Over on the corner, It's such a pretty sight. EDITH VEAZIE, '50. ORDER OF IMPORTANCE When, Therle are forty-five minutes of afternoon eft, And books slapping desks with finality Accent an argument carried from class About negroes and whites and equality, Then, My mind starts to spin with the fate of the world And with what's to be done in trigo- nometry. But Elie world must await my deciding its ate, While I help this poor lad with geometry. Next, Upon Revelations I ponder awhile, Weigh Omar with one grain of salt, And this moving finger had better move on, Because day-dreaming's my biggest fault. Now, - You'd better get busy, it comes from all sides. You m ist have some history or math. Which all goes to show just what matters the most, And it's not my pondering on equality, theology, philosophy, Or man's inhumanity and wrath. ETH1-:L MAE ScAMMoN, '48. an IF wk wk I LIKE TO REMEMBER My grandfather was a man who would not easily be forgotten, and he was well liked by all who knew him. His black hair, streaked with gray, had a wave across the front. His hands, calloused by hard work ffor he was a blacksmithb, were as strong as those of a much larger man. The pleased expression on his face seemed never to change. Although he had times when he was feeling blue, he never spoke a complaining word or lost the happy smile he always carried. Every evening you would see him with his little Testament reading page after page, and he never failed to go to church on Sundays. He traveled extensively in the north- ern woods around Quebec and Northern Maine, surveying the unmapped wood- lands. He helped survey the Mt. Ka- tahdin area where white men had never set foot. The West was still unsettled when he went out there to settle that THE SACHEM vast country, and the Mississippi was still teeming with immigrants. While i was growing up, he was always telling me about his experiences, and I suppose that is why I consider him to be the most unforgettable character I ever knew. My grandfather never seemed to change, and he never had any illness until his death April 13, 1946.

To become a good cheerleader, You must practice every night, Altho' your joints may ache and creak, And your hair just looks a sight. Sometimes at the outside games, You're booed by youngsters smallg But you must keep your temper, And watch the guy with the ball. If you wish to be a cheerleader, You must be full of pep, So practice, practice, practice, And always keep in step.

Also with their help a constitution was drawn up. The club is a combination of the biology and chemistry departments. Each division meets separately, except for the few business meetings when both departments get together. The first business meeting was held in November. At that time Ralph Leo- nard was elected Presidentg James Sucy, Vice President, and Ethel Mae Scam- mon, Secretary-Treasurer. Later we decided to separate these ofiices and, ac- cordingly, Joyce Delano was elected Treasurer. Because the club got underway so late in the year, We have spent most of our meetings on organization, but next year we hope the club can be more active. The Science Club is assured a success- ful future, as the students responded enthusiastically to the club and its pur- poses. ETHEL MAE SCAMMON, '48. DRAMATICS CLUB The Dramatics Club opened a success- ful year with fifty new members. This year prospective members were re- quired to try out in order to join the club. Last spring the following officers were elected: Director, Ethel Mae Scammong Co-director, Betty Ketcheng Secretary, Elaine O'Gradyg Treasurer, Therese Martin. The three one-act plays, presented each year, were again sponsored by the Dramatics Club. As usual, any person in the school interested in dramatics may try out for a part in the State Con- test Play. However, the other two plays are limited to members of the Dramatics Club only. The plays proved highly suc- cessful again in 1948. . Purchases are being considered and some have already been made. Serious and humorous readings and orations have been bought. The plans are to add some each year to the list, thus enabling the club to build up a small library. A new make-up kit and books that contain collections of one-act plays are next on the list. At present they are be- ing considered. Our faculty adviser, Miss McLaugh- lin, has been helpful during the past year with her kind assistance and direc- tion. ELAINE O'GRADY, '48.

THE SACHEM 51 DEBATE CLUB The Debate Club opened its season with eight members, Betty Desjardins, Storer Emmett, Richard Goodin, Betty Ketchen, Jean LeMire, Anita Sargent, Jeanne Spruce, and Barbara Teele. The proposition discussed was-Resolved: That the Federal Government should re- quire arbitration of labor disputes in all basic American industries. In Bangor in December a debate clinic was held to aid in understanding the subject, and in January a practice tour- nament was arranged with neighboring schools. This year a new system for arranging debates with the schools participating in the Penobscot Valley Conference League was adopted. In the past it was custom- ary for the various schools to make sev- eral trips to debate their opponents, this year three rounds of debates were held at Old Town, Bar Harbor, and Brewer on March 3, 12, and 17 respec- tively, with the following schools par- ticipating: Bar Harbor, Brewer, Bucks- port, Ellsworth, John Bapst, Orono, and Old Town. Each time fourteen debates were carried on, with each school taking part in two debates. Our negative team, consisting of Bet- ty Ketchen, Betty Desjardins, Barbara Teele, and Storer Emmett, had one win over Ellsworth.

The officers for 1947-1948 were elect- ed in the spring of '47 : President, John Pelletier, Vice President, Bernard Par- adyg Secretary, Bruce Savage 3 Treas- urer, Norman Ouellette. Several new amendments to the con- stitution were proposed and ratified by the club and they are waiting to be ap- proved by the athletic council. Membership cards were awarded to men winning their letters in football and cross country last fall. Plans for initiation of the new mem- bers are being arranged for the spring. Meetings throughout the year were generally held the last Friday in the month, with special meetings being called frequently. Two of the outstanding outcomes of these meetings were amending a consti- tution established the previous year and establishing a program committee for the purpose of carrying out various ac- tivities during the remainder of 1948. We wish at this time to express our appreciation for the leadership and guid- ance Mr. Blasenak and Mr. Abbott have given us this year. BRUCE SAVAGE, '48.

Outdoor events, such as ski racing, snowshoeing, skating, and many others, were to be carried out in the afternoon, followed by a coronation ball in the eve- ning, but because of weather conditions the outdoor events were cancelled and indoor basketball was played by both girls and boys and was enjoyed by every- one. There were nine candidates for queen, three chosen from each class, Jane Stev- ens, Dorothy Leonard, and Theresa Mo- rin, sophomores, Jeannette Martin, Bet- ty Ketchen, and Joan Bonneau, juniors, Gloria LeBreton, Lorraine Ouellette, and Pauline Cyr, seniors. Each class elected a campaign man- ager to represent its candidates, Roger Libby, sophomore, Kenneth Huntley, junior, Richard MacPherson, senior, and Elaine O'Grady, who acted as man- ager during MacPherson's absence. Dorothy Leonard was chosen queen and was crowned by her escort, Norman Ouellette, the crown having been car- ried by Roger Libby. The other eight candidates acted as the queen's attend- ants, Gloria LeBreton, escorted by Bruce Savage, Lorraine Ouellette by Ralph Leonard, Pauline Cyr by Edward Day, Betty Ketchen by Frank Smith, Jane Stevens by Fred White, Theresa Morin by Dudley Phelps, Joan Bonneau by Elwood Littlefield, and Jeannette Martin by Ronald Cutliffe. The winter carnival, planned and exe- cuted under the auspices of the student council, was received with popular ac- claim by the students and townspeople alike. It was one of the outstanding ac- tivities of the school year. PAULINE CYR, '48.

Our officers for the year were President, William Tear, Vice President, Linwood Roy, Secretary, Joan Hilcheyg Treasurer, Joan Cyr. This year the club went fur- ther into the different fields of photog- raphy. Since it was such a large club, we decided to divide up into several groups with each group working under a GLEE Election of officers was held during the first meeting of the Glee Club. They are: President, Betty Ketcheng Vice President, Joan Cyrg Secretary, Jane Whittier, Treasurer, Pauline Cyr. Practices began with seventy-eight members. Included in this number are two boys, the only two who have proved loyal to the club throughout their three years at Old Town High School. In the future we hope that more boys will be interested in joining and will realize the fun and experience that can be derived from the club. This year we are promoting a new activity, a music festival, which will be held on May 14, at the Helen Hunt Audi- chairman and specializing in one of the following fields: developing, printing, enlarging, and coloring. These groups were to work separately and bring the finished product before the club as a whole. The club wishes to express its thanks and appreciation to Mr. Redman, who has generously offered his services throughout the year. JOAN HILCHEY, '48. CLUB torium. Our general glee club will sing two selections, Nocturne by Fibich, and Dear Land of Home by Sibelius. A special group will sing My Hero by Oscar Strauss and When Day Is Done by Silver and Patsches. Lorraine and Eva Ouellette have been chosen to sing that same evening When Angels Sing and Once in a While. For graduation, Tales from the Vien- na Woods by Strauss and Plaisir d'Amour by Martini have been selected to be sung by the full glee club. Mrs. MacKellar has been very helpful during the year with her kind and pa- tient leadership. JANE WHITTIER, '48.

CHEERLEADERS J' The cheerleaders, with full support of the student body, encouraged all the teams to do their best in the athletic ac- tivities of 1947-48. Tryouts were held early this year be- cause of our football schedule. The vet- eran cheerleaders were Pauline Cyr, Joan Cyr, and Jeannette Martin. Eva Ouellette, a seniorg Betty Ketchen and Anita Sargent, juniorsg and Ruth Riva, Jean Rustin, and Anna Pelletier, sopho- mores, made up the six new cheerlead- ers. After much diligent practice, we were ready to cheer the football boys in their first game. We were fortunate enough to have transportation to every game our teams played out of town. With the help of each cheerleader, some new cheers were created and de- veloped. We got many compliments on our Indian dance cheer, with the red feathers. .This year the six new girls will be given letters, with the veterans receiv- ing certificates. With Mrs. MacKellar's and Mr. Ab- bott's help, it is expected that the cheer- leaders will have new uniforms for next season. Mr. Viola is given our appreciation for his enthusiastic direction of cheer- leading. JOAN CYR, '48. ' TRACK Front Row fl. to r.J: Manager P. Day, C. Simon, H. Stevens, D. Phelps, P. Martin, B.

THE SACHEM 67 TRACK The track team, coached by Raymond Gove, again had a very successful sea- son. 9 An intramural meet started the sea- son with great rivalry between the soph- omore and senior classes. The sopho- more class was the eventual winner with a score of 69 1f5, followed by the seniors with 57, the freshmen with 31 2X5 and the juniors with 20 2f5. As a preliminary dual before the Pe- nobscot Valley Conference meet, we met and defeated a good Bar Harbor team, with Jack Thomas, Paul Martin, Ralph Storman, Thomas Laskey, and Dudley Phelps contributing especially to our winning score of 54 as against the 50 scored by Bar Harbor. The P. V. C. meet, which was held on Victory Field, involved Orono, Brewer, John Bapst, Bar Harbor, Ellsworth, and Old Town High Schools, and the winner was not determined until the final event had been completed. However, Old Town High scored a winning total of 34 to a score of 32 for Bar Harbor, 21 for John Bapst, 14 for Orono, 12 for Brewer and 2 for Ellsworth. On June 7, the team journeyed to Waterville for the state meet but we failed to bring home any top honors from this meet. FOOTBALL Under the coaching of Howard Blase- nak, who was experiencing his first year at Old Town High School, we had a very successful season in football. The team won iive games while losing only three. We scored 130 points to our opponents 87. The team will be hit pretty hard by graduation, losing eight of the first eleven men.

THE SACHEM 69 CROSS COUNTRY The cross country boys, under the coaching of Raymond Gove, had a most successful season. Led by Jack Thomas, the boys were undefeated in the regular season and went on to capture the state title. The team went to Boston and took fifth place in the New England meet. Jack Thomas was the eleventh runner in a field of ninety-four competitors, and he was the recipient of a medal for his placing. Although the team will lose Jack Thomas when he graduates in June, the squad will still be a threat to any team seeking state championship. Following is the record of the team: VARSITY BASKETBALL We had a fair basketball season this year, winning five games while losing thirteen. At the beginning of the sea- son, Raymond Curran retired from coaching and was succeeded by Bernard MacKenzie. Of the ten men on the squad, seven will be lost by graduation, Pic Doucette, Bernard Parady, Ralph Leo- nard, Larry Fogarty, Dick MacPherson, Darky Thompson, and Norm Ouellette. Despite thirteen losses, our opponents scored only seventeen points more than we did. We scored 671 points to our opponents' 688.

THE SACHEM 73 GIRLS' BASKETBALL The girls' basketball team started out this year with the hope of competing in interscholastic girls' basketball. Our coaches for the year were the Misses Helen Buzzell and Rita Graham. We practiced at least once a week and as-the season went on we practiced more often. The three classes here on the hill were allowed to come out for the sport. Our first game was held at Orono where we met the Orono High girls in a hard and fast game. The results of the game were 15 to 32 in Orono's favor. Our next game was held at Old Town where we played a return game with Orono High. The final score of that game was a tie, 17 to 17. Our final game was played here in Old Town, where we were hosts to Bradford High. The final score of that game was Bradford 16-Old Town 38. The varsity squad was as follows: Frances Smart, Jane Stevens, Theresa Graham, Patricia Carson, Dorothy Leo- nard, and Joan Hilchey. We wish to express our thanks and appreciation to Helen Buzzell and Rita Graham, who gave us so much of their time to make the girls' basketball pro- gram possible. JOAN HILCHEY, '48, Captain. SOFTBALL The softball team played six Penob- scot Valley Conference games last spring, but four of the most important and interesting games were with Brew- er, Bucksport, Bar Harbor, and Orono. Our first and toughest game of the season was played with Brewer on their field. We were all scared and excited allmout our first game, but we lost 21 to 1 . Our second game of the season was played with Bucksport also on their field. We went on Cyr's bus and got there rather early, so we visited the school before playing the game. We weren't so scared as before, for this was our second game, and we knew that we had more of a chance to win. We won by a big score, 25 to 12. Our third game, the first one played at home, was with Bar Harbor on the day of the Junior Prom. The girls were all excited and nervous about going to the dance that evening, but they played a creditable game. Unfortunately we lost by one point. Our fourth and probably the most important and interesting game was played with Orono. The reason for its being the game of the season was that Orono is our neighboring town, and many of the girls wanted to show the Orono boys and girls that the Old Town girls could really win if they tried. We won by a big score and felt like celebrat- ing the occasion. Watch for the 1948 season! IRENE MARTIN, '48. Q .15 lla Q-5-jj LA S 45' iii: 6 .5 .rg .54 75- Arg ti: ,:'51,.2', ff- ...
