Sophomore Class I 5 THE SACHEM SOPHOMORE CLASS REPORT The sophomore class enrollment in September was 146, setting a new record as the largest class yet to attend Old Town High School. On October 7, 1949. the sophomores met for the first time in Room 11 to elect class officers. Those elected were Iohn Cutliffe, presidentg Fred Dow, vice-president: Rita Ogden, secretary: and Richard Fayle, treasurer. Iean Archarnbaud and Martin Grant were elected as representatives to the Student Council. The upperclassmen gave us a hearty welcome with a week of initiation, cli- maxed by the Sophomore Reception. The sophomore class was well represented in sports by both boys and girls and in the many school clubs. Six of our class took part in the one-act plays. They were Iessie Sargent, Frances Martin, Patricia Cyr, Shirley King, Wil- fred Marquis, and Richard Fayle. We are proud of our four boys, Richard Dawes, Richard Carlow, Robert Sawyer, and Martin Grant, who made the varsity basketball team. Represent- ing the sophomore class on the junior varsity team were Iackie Cutliffe, Deane Finley, Fred Loring, Linwood Randall, Donald Tait, Robert Taylor, George Brissette, Wesley Carr, Clarence Barriault, and Robert Lavoie. Many sophomore girls turned out for basketball and softball, while the number of our boys in track and baseball was not small. We wish to thank Mrs. Webber and Mr. Spearin for being our class advisors during this year. We hope that the sophomore class next year will be as fortu- nate as we have been.

My Next Door Neighbors I consider myself very fortunate indeed, for I, unlike so many other people, have no complaints about my neighbors. Quite often one hears people complaining about how difficult it is to keep on a friendly basis with their neighbors, but not I. We never have any words whatsoever. For instance, the other night I had a party in my home for more than forty guests. We danced, played records, and made enough noise to wake the dead, but not one word of complaint did I hear from the folks next door. Now, how many people are lucky enough to have such fine friends? I visit 'my neighbors quite often. Sometimes I feel especially neighborly and take them flowers. My friends always have many visitors all year round. I even mow their lawn free of charge during the spring and summer months because of my great respect for my wonderful, quiet friends. There is only one fault I can find with my neighbors: it is next to impossible to make a conversation with them. It is just like trying to strike up a conversation with a corpse, for I never seem to get a response. However, their good points certainly are more numerous than their bad ones. One thing I am especially pleased about is the fact that they will never move away from next door, for, you see, I live next to a peaceful little cemetery. HOWARD STEVENS '50 Peace We seldom pick up our newspapers to- day without finding the word peace con- tained in the headlines or in some major article devoted to peace relations between disputing parties. Indeed, peace is one of the foremost thoughts in the minds of all intelligent and educated people. We read but recently that Congress has ap- propriated vast sums of money to the Armed Forces and is sending much abroad that America and the nations allied with her might arm to a greater extent. And yet, how ridiculous the principle when we stop to think-arming for peace. And if we were to bring this matter closer to our own lives, we see people dissatisfied with the things Knot necessi- tiesl they have acquired and still yearning for more. We find our doctor's offices crowded with people of whom statistics THE SACI-IEM 33 state that over fifty per cent have no physical ills, but simply figments of their own mental discontent. Why are homes so often broken apart, but for the fact that young people feel they can find con- tentment through effectual romance. We may consider these analogies or scoff at them, but I feel that we all must come to one conclusion: that there is a desire for peace, that peace which is so often absent from the very soul of the individual. Many years ago in the far off country of Iudea there were shepherds watching their flocks by night, and we read that an angel of the Lord appeared unto them and said, 'Behold I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord . . .' and suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will to men'. But again we say with the poet, There is no peace on earth. Perhaps the real answer to this prob- lem of peace, which I feel is the greatest problem in the world, is found in the words of the Prince of Peace: Peace l leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Truly we may join with the poet, Charles Wesley, in saying: Hail, the I'IeaV'n-born Prince of Peace! Hail, the Sun of Righteousnessl Light and Life to all He brings Ris'n with healing in His wings. Let us then with angels sing, Glory to the new-born King! Peace on earth and mercy mild' God and sinners reconciledln 1 v ' STORER EMMETT '50 Being a Baby-Sitter Ever since I began junior high school, I have had quite a few funny experiences at baby-sitting. Have you ever been left with a child who, everytime he looks at you, begins to holler and cry so loud that you wonder what kind of a creature you really are? Have you ever been a baby- sitter in a strange house, where you've run frantically through dark rooms trying to find the telephone, which is ringing with all its fury, and when you at last find it, it stops ringing? Then the baby, whom you had finally convinced to go to sleep, wakes up and demands his ten o'clock bottle. At last he is satisfied and you go downstairs to sit and listen to a mystery story on the radio. You're con- centrating on the program, when sudden- ly there is a funny moaning noise in the other room. You sit in your chair, shiv- ering and shaking, expecting any time to cold, clammy hands slide around neck. The moaning stops but a have your thumping noise begins, coming closer by the minute. You're panic-stricken, What are you going to do? Then Old Skip- per, the family dog, comes running into the room, his tail wagging as though he were very glad to see you. You have to laugh at yourself for being so frightened. You wonder if it's worth baby-sitting when it sometimes takes ten years off your life. MARGUERITE LITTLEFIELD '50 Friendly Smile YVhenever you walk down the' street And you're feeling very sad, A friendly smile from one you 'meet Can make your heart so glad. So think of that when you're the one VVhose feeling very gay, And flash your smile to everyone Who comes along your way. DOREEN GOODIN '52 34 THE SACHEM Not Wanted? Ioe Brown, a Negro student at Norview Prep School in the state of New York, and I were going to our dormitory. We had just come from a meeting of the school paper staff. It's a swell afternoon, isn't it, Bob? Ioe asked me. It sure is. Let's go for a swim-- I cut my sentence short, remembering the sign at the swimming pool which prevent- ed Negroes from swimming there. lust then a big black car came screeching around the corner. An arm was thrust out of an open window and a bottle of indelible ink crashed on the sidewalk in front of us, splashing ink all over our clothes. After a few minutes of quietness Ioe exclaimed, They did things like this to me in Virginia, but I never expected it here in New York. I, who had lived in Virginia, realized the truth in Ioe's words, and swore I would stick by him until he was accepted as one of the regular fellows on the cam- pus. When we got to the dormitory, we saw Ed White, one of the greatest ath- letes in the minds of his friends. To our amazement, he had ink all over his hand. This was enough to give us suspicion that he was the one who had thrown ink at us. Evidently he had something against loe. This made me very angry, but it did not disturb Ioe at all. lust then a fire alarm rang and every- one ran for the exit. In the wild rush to the door, Ed White sprained his ankle and could not walk. Everyone ran right past him and didn't help him-everyone except Ioe. Ioe, with his strong arms, picked Ed up and carried him to safety. This instance made loe a hero in the minds of everyone. I-Ie sure was a great guy! DANNY WEBSTER '51 Did You Ever Ride the Bus to School or It Shouldn' t Happen to a Dog You get- Kicked in the shins, Bumped in the head Knocked all around Till you wish you were dead. The noise is so loud That you soon become deef, Even the grownups Will cause you some grief. Little kids screaming And wrestling in the aisleg Young girls always gabbing About the latest style, You get shoved by grimy hands And jabbed with fountain pens. You can count your black and blue marks By the fives and tens. And when you stumble off Your hair is all awry, But you sniff the fresh air And breathe a happy sigh. Barbara Sucy '50 Lovers Still His hair as wintry snow is white, Her trembling lips are slow, His eyes have lost their merry light, Her cheeks their 'merry glow, And yet though feeble, gray, and old They're faithful love will not grow cold. Hazel Partington '50 I Wish I wish I were small so I could sail An elm leaf in an autumn gale, Down the stream or in the' -brook, Like a Viking or Captain Hook. A spider's web would be my mast, To run my ship would be no task, A little trout would be my whale, I wish I were small so I could sail. The moon and stars would guide my way To newer worlds where I might stay, The shipls log would bear this tale, I wish I were small so I could sail. HAROLD CAREY '50 THE SACHEM 35 My Gift This gift I give, when I am gone, To those I leave behind- The will to live most graciously In word and deed and mind. This gift I give, when I am gone, To those I leave behind- The truth, no matter what the cost, Far better than a troubled mind. This gift I give, when I am gone, To those and Him above- The greatest gift of all, I think, Yes, 'tis my gift of love. Theresa. Beauchesne '52 My Wish I wish I had plenty of money, Money, oh money to spendg I'd buy myself a ibrand new car And goodness knows where I'd end. I'd go from here to the western coast To buy myself a homey Then I'd marry a brilliant and handsome man And never be left alone. I'd do the things I wanted to And buy the things I sawg For 'making wishes all come true There ought to be a law. ' RUBY ADAMS '50 There Ain't No Justice I guess I'm not lucky like everyone else. I never have a good time at the Saturday night dances. Of course I've been to only three, but just the same that was enough. I was looking forward to a gala evening with plenty of dances and maybe even a jitterbug or two. And then I thought maybe some nice man would ask if he might take me home and if he might see me again. I even imagined all the events I'd go to with him and what an impression I'd make on all the fellows. Arriving at the dance, I met my girl friends, who told me what a wonderful time they were having. My spirits soar- ed. Tonight would be my night. My first dance was taken by a short, scrawny fellow. Of course, even though he wasn't my dream of a prince charming, I went on with him-I was afraid to sit alone. The dance did end quickly because I kept thinking how wonderful the next one would be with the man. As the music began for the second dance, I glanced hopefully around, but the one I saw coming toward me was that same fellow. He was nice enough and a pretty good dancer, but golly, I wanted to dance with someone else. All evening it kept on like this. Every time the music started, I glanced around and saw the same fellow coming toward me. No mat- ter where I stood or sat, he always man- aged to find me. I stayed out in the core ridor until the music started and everyone began dancing, thinking he would ask someone elseg but, lo and behold, there he was, patiently waiting for me as I went inside. I knew I was stuck. I couldn't stand it any longer. I ran to get my coat and hurried out the door, fearing he would follow me. For once, my luck hell. and I arrived home safely-without him. I told myself I'd never go again. But you know, the kids are talking about how much fun the dance will be this Saturday. I think I'll go. Maybe to- night I'll meet THE MAN. PATTY KETCHEN '50 The Butterfly The butterfly gracefully flutters upon a rose bud, Drinking in its delicate sweetnessg Us wings, sprinkled with gold dust, sparkle as highly polished sapphires Upon the ruby red of the soft, velvety petals. A slap of its Wings and it is gone, quick as a flash, Returning again like a shimmering, shining star Appearing in the darkening sky. GLORIA KING '50 36 THE SACHEM Little Hands Such little hands to do so much, They damage everything they touch, They never tire or seem to dread The punishment that lies ahead. At breakfast we find it is a fact The sugar's a castle to attack, The butter's a gold brick that someone has taken, The leg of the table just has to be shaken. Her cocoa is spilled and her jacket gets wet, She breaks the big platter to mommie's new set, She falls off a chair, her poor little nose Is flattened, it hurts and is red as a rose. Poor little girl, will she ever learn That to touch a hot stove is to get a bad burng To run up the stairs and get mo-mmie's lip- stick Is a reason her hands might get spanked rather quick. Poor little kitty lets out a loud wail, Two little hands have hold of his tail, In comes the baby just covered with flour And yells to her mommie, Come, see 1ny high tower. Its nappy time now, the baby is sleeping, And into her crib a proud 'mommie is peep- ing, She looks at those hands, so little and white, In one is a dolly clutched ever so tight. Oh dear little girl, this mommie is sad, She punished you when you were not really bad, But never mind, darling, when sleep is all done, You will have forgotten, to my arms you will run. Betty Desjardins '50 At Night At night The sun goes down, The moon comes up and shines, It lights the town with gleaming light At night. Florence Dubay '50 Raptures of Nature Have you ever sat on the shore of a lake and watched the sun as it first peeks over the distant horizon, lazily mounting higher and higher into the sky? If not, you have missed one of nature's greatest masterpieces. From the first moment of its upward itinerary, you are held spellbound in an atmosphere of hushed serenity, broken only by the occasional echo of a loon call- ing its mate, or the monotonous croaking of frogs in a nearby swamp. Rising above the mountains which tower over the treetops on the opposite shore, this bril- liant ball outlines massive silhouettes of red and gold, Suddenly the magnificent splendor of this sight has passed, leaving you with a vow to return on the morrow to experience again the sheer exhilaration of this early morning scene. The sun has now risen well into the sky, and the reflection of its rays forms bright sparkly paths over the surface of the water, resembling the silvery network of sequins on an evening dress. Awak- ening from tranquil meditation, you sud- denly become aware of mosquitoes, mill- ing and buzzing around you, and of the rhythmic peck, peck, peck of a busy woodpecker. All around the lake spirals of smoke circle the roofs of camps: happy children's voices ring across the waters: dogs offer their cheery good-mornings to the world at large: boats are loosened from their moors and motors refueled in preparation for a pre-breakfast spin. Yes, the lake has awakened, and another day has begun. And, as the tantalizing odor of bacon Hlls the air, you realize that you, too, are awake and very hungry, so you hurry off to breakfast, welling over with happiness and that wonderful to be alive feeling, a very special feeling that is dissimilar to other moods of happiness. THE SACHEM 37 It is very difficult to interpret this feeling on paper, but I am sure that if you have ever shared an experience such as this, you will understand exactly what I mean. DOROTHY LEONARD '50 A Prayer Help me not to think selfishly of Christ- mas. Help me to remember that on this day, many, many years ago, in a little town called Bethlehem, God gave us His Son. Help me to pray, not only today but every day, as Iesus would want me to. Help me to be forgiving. Help me to resist sin. Help me to love my fellow- men. Never let me forget to Whom I owe so much but, should I forget, remind me that prayer is a privilege, not a duty. Help me, in a world full of sin and corruption, to live up to the standards Iesus has set for me. Help me each day so that the deeds I do will add to, rather than detract from, my esteem in His eyes. Help me to be honest in all I do. Last, and this is my greatest plea, help me to help myself. LAURA Cox '50 Blessings Did you ever sit by a campfire And dream at the closing of day, Listening to beautiful noises That are heard in the distance away? A deer may crack through the bushes, An owl may awaken your dream, As you rest by your cozy bright campfire, At the side of a clear rushing stream. A whip-poor-will sings in the moonlight, He sings as he goes on his way, Thank God for the blessings of nature And the end of a beautiful day. JEAN RUSTIN '50 Soliloquy The earth was dull and drab that April day, The fields like patchwork quilts lay white and brown, And over all a solemn stillness lay, While heaven's brooding forehead seemed to frown. I stood upon a lonely hilltop high, And in the wind I heard, through all the years. Mans voice recalling sorrow, pain, and strife. While silently the sky rained down her tears lt seemed to me, as I was standing there, 'Ihe world was spread before my wondering eye, And ugliness and grief was everywhere. Can beauty grow in such a world? thought I. Then at my feet I saw a blossom pure, And knew how in this world of war and strife God's promise still forever shall endure, To any man is Beauty and New Life. WILMA MONROE '50 Baseball, Pooh! It's a hit! It's a hit! Baseball. America's favorite sport. What is this world coming to. VVhy, now they are even teaching poor little innocent children to play baseball. What do I care what the battery will be for tomorrow's game. lust when I want to listen to something intellectual on the radio, some ghastly creature is yelling in my ear, It's over! it's over! and it's a home run! Who cares if Teddy Wil- liams has just hit his forty-second home run of the year. lust because his oppo- nent was the New York Yankees' ace re- lief pitcher, Ioe Page, they seem to think it's very important since it sweeps the series for the Red Sox. Some people, who, incidentally, dOn't know the difference between the President and Vice-President, are able to sit on those horrible wooden planks for hours watching a silly ball game. There they sit, getting burned up by the sun, when 38 THE SACHEM they could be at home calmly listening to an interesting program. It used to be that you could pick up a newspaper and read all about the happen- ings in the world. Now, however, all you can read are the events in the major and minor leagues. Honestly, I don't see how people can lower themselves to this standard. Pardon me, what did you say? You want me to go to a major league ball game? At Fenway Park? Uh! just think, I'll be able to see my two favorites, the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. I'm so excited I can hardly wait. DoRorHY MACPHERSON '50 Penob-S-Cot Once upon a time there was an Indian named Penob. All of the white settlers were trying to catch him because he had stolen some articles from the village store. This Indian was very sly and was hardly ever seen. Most of the time he did his stealing at night. The village was on the banks of the Unnamed River. One night Penob thought he would go to the village and do a little looting. As he neared the village in his canoe, he saw some furs piled up beside a boathouse which was about twenty feet from shore. He beached his canoe and crept cautiously toward the furs. When he got within two feet of them, he was grabbed by several white men. He then knew that this was a trap. Penob battled his way back to his canoe and headed out onto the Unnamed River. Reaching the center of it, he started downstream. The white men were very close behind him in another canoe. Soon they overtook Penob and captured him. He was taken to the vil- lage and kept in captivity until the next day when the white men then took Penob to the place where he was punished. They were shouting Penob's fcotj caught. Penob's Qcotj caught. Many years later the Unnamed River was named Penobscot in memory of the most elusive Indian in the history of this village. WILFRED GUAY '51 The Penobscot River All my life I've watched her drift Through the heart of my home town, Constrained though she is for business' She goes rolling ever down. sake Down through cities, woods, and fields, Down 'till she meets the sea, But the island-dotted branching part Is special for you and me. In summer I've seen the sunset, So brilliant I hardly could look, A radiant aura on a faraway mountain, And shadows in landings and nook. In winter I've seen her girdled With the fastness of ice and snow, And a sawdust trail that means sustenance For the Braves, 'till her waters flow. Her moods are varied, she's cried, she's cold. And as old as this dear old town, But she leaves her beauty for all to see As she goes rolling ever down. Beverly Hinckley '52 Crazy Quilt Once my grandma made me A patchwork quilt so gay, To see it there upon my 'bed Would chase my blues away. The colors that she used to put In this crazy quilt of mine Are every bit as bright as shoes That have a -brand new shine. Never would I part with itg Though it's not worth a lot In gold, to 'me it's priceless With charm that can't be bought. MARY CURRAN '50 Great Rain Dark came, The sky turned gray, The wind-it blew with strength, Then came the rain, the' rain which fell , All day. Betty Bertrand '50 THE SACHEM 39 Party Line I-Iave you ever listened in on a conver- sation when someone is using the tele- phone on your party line? Well, some rainy day when you are just moping around the house, trying to find some- thing to do, sit down in a comfortable chair and pick up your telephone receiver. The experience may turn out to be inter- esting. When it is a rainy day, most women find gossiping with their friends a won- derful way to pass the time of day. Nat- urally the ideal way to do this is to use the telephone, as it requires little exertion. Here is an example of what you might hear. Hello, Tillie. This is May. I simply must tell you about jane Snodgrass. Last night I saw her at the Brown Derby, and guess what she was wearing-a mink coat. Why, May, I can't believe it. I never thought she had money to make even a down payment on one. But, Tillie, wait till you hear this. Her hair was red! Goodness, think of it, dye- ing her hair, and forty-five years old. Oh, May, by the way, did you get an invitation to Rose Stakepole's tea? Yes, Tillie, I did, but I really can't de- cide whether to go or not. You see, she has also invited Susie I-Ienkle. If there's one woman I can't stand, it's Susie Henkle. I always seem to get stuck next to her at parties, and she practically talks my ears off. All she does is gossip about her neighbors. Oh, oh, I have a cake in the oven, and I think it's burning. I'll have to hang up now. Goodbye. Well, now that I have given you a sample of how interesting a rainy after- noon can be, all you have to do is sit back and wait for one to come along. Then, just pick up your phone, relax in a soft chair, and glue your ear to the receiver. THERESA CLOUTIER '51 The Walk I Took The wind was blowing the curtains back lightly. The sky looked like a beautiful blue lake. I hopped out of bed like a rabbit, and pulled on my clothes faster than I hopped out of bed. I open- ed the door like an elf pounding tacks into a shoe. I ran down the winding road. The black-eyed Susans looked as if a bee were sitting on each one. The walk I took was as long as the hands on a clock, a magic clock that stretches its hands. IOAN LAFLAMME '50 A Lumbering Operation As I rode along one spring day I came to a large pine grove. Men were wield- ing heavy blades to fell the forest giants, and I could not help stopping to watch. I noticed high up in one of the pines a porcupine hanging on for his life. As I listened, the buzz of a heavy cross- cut saw came to me as it gnawed its way through the century old giant, and the chug-chug of a mighty Diesel tractor as it wound its way through the forest: then a groan and a splintering as a large pine made its way earthward, and the ever familiar shout of tim-ber! I stepped from the car and as I walked towards the working men the clean, fresh odor of new pine hit me. As I came closer I noticed the odor of the tractor and of stale tobacco. In the distance I saw a mighty pine sway and plunge earth- ward. The wholefforest trembled as the big tree hit with a great echoing crash. DARRELL HANSCOM '50 Waiting My pounding heart seems to have lost all sense of speed regulation and I can feel the cold beads of sweat on my icy fore- head. I wonder silently if I shall be able to go through with it. Of course I shall have to, but it is this agonizing waiting that I can hardly bear. If only it could be over immediately, but no, it's just wait, 40 THE SACHEM other people feel as I do at a crucial time like this, or am I oddly different? Well, I certainly can't ask anyone because my throat is so dry that I know I shouldn't be able to utter a single word. Anyway, I don't believe I am supposed to speak aloud to anyone. I Oh, it is so humid and deathly quiet in here. Why don't they get it over with? Perhaps if I weren't first I wouldn't mind it so much. Did someone just call my name, Elizabeth Ann Addison? I get up slowly, twisting my handkerchief nerv- ously in my clammy hands. It seems that everyone is watching me as I ascend the steps carefully to receive proudly my high school diploma. JOAN GIVEN '50 Ice Out The day dawned in regal splendor with the promise of warm, limpid sunshine, a soothing change from the incessant rains days. The water of the four previous rose steadily, and the last vestige of win- ter, the ice locked river, watched for its opportunity to break for freedom. Idling spectators, chattering and laughing in anxiety, anxiously awaited the inspiring phenomenon of spring in full force. The rotting smell of stagnant, porous ice that permeated the air was soon to be replaced by the clean, fresh smell of moving water. Time passed by slowly, monotonously. At noontime, spectators came and went to and from their meals. There had been no sign of movement all morning. Would it go out today? This was the question on everyone's tongue. At one o'clock the water was still rising. The solid, grayish mass of ice shivered in anticipation. Suddenly the afternoon air was rent by a loud snap like the crack- ling of an electric shock. The ice shud- dered, sighed, groaned, rasped, and be- gan to move. The race to the sea was on, slowly at first, but gradually gathering momentum. There she goes! was the exultant shout from hundreds of voices in unison. The stoic river, ruthless in its battle to escape from its winter prison, was making its triumphant bid for freedom. Undeni- ably the force of the mighty current churn- ed and pushed the massive sheet. The rasping sound of ice ground the shores. Bluish ice cakes dove in and out of the water like squadrons of soldierly por- poises. Huge bergs, now floating freely in the swiftly moving channel, battered and crushed each other into tiny tinkling particles. Nothing man made can stop this surge, once caught in the grip of the current. People chide each other, paid and col- lected friendly wagers made weeks earlier. Dogs barked at nothing and at every- thing. The river, rippling and murmur- ing its song of freedoirft in happiness, twinkled in the bright sunlight being re- flected on wind-made ripples. Nature's seasonal evolution had freed the Penob- scot from its cold winter solitude. ROLAND DUBAY, Post Grad. Taffy I have a cat who's the craziest thing, You see, I don't think he's all thereg Instead of lying as most cats do, He lies with his feet in the air. I He's colored awfully funny too, Streaked all taffy and white, I And when you go to love him All he wants to do is bite. Still, he's the pride and joy of my father And part with him-no, he would not, For the crazy things our crazy cat does Are treasures that can't be bought. HELEN YORK '50 THE SACHEM 41 Right or Wroiig? He was just another tramp-child when he entered this town fifteen years ago with his drunkard father. Even then, at the young age of ten, he had been mother- less for almost six years. His shabby clothes, uncombed hair, worn out shoes. and all the other miseries that go with having an uninterested parent certainly did not help him in the great task of get- ting acquainted and feeling at home among the other children of his age and grade. The reputation of his father started stories that spread like wild fire. Over- hearing these stories being ohed and ahed over by the town gossips in every corner drug store contributed greatly to the uneasiness of his nature. His whole disposition and attitude now date back to this time in his life when his security and popularity were so unsure. This same boy a short time later, un- able to find acceptance in school by either the teachers or the students, turned to crime to attain some feeling of recognition and accomplishment. He fell in with a that to him seemed right This feeling was due, for wrong crowd and friendly. the most part, to the fact that they were children in the same state of mind as him- self. Because of their acceptance of him, he in turn accepted their morals and stan- dards of conduct, some of which were not up to the level that society has established. Now this boy's future depends entire- ly upon the decision that you people, the jury, make. Do you honestly believe that this boy should spend some of the best years of his life in a reform school, which, in my opinion, is old-fashioned and the best place for a boy to acquire new skills in crime? Or do you want to set this boy free under a psychiatrists care, to develop into a clean living, well adjusted citizen? concluded the lawyer. ALDEN BRANGWYNNE '51 A Home on Four Corners 'Ihere's a home on four corners, An elm tree close by, A place that means heaven to meg There's a field full of hay, And a barn painted grey, 'Tis home, what else could it be? Where I learned my first lessons, And walked on life's road, O'e1' the path of a farm so free, Where a hard-working mother Looked down at her boy, .v Weeping from a little hurt knee. Oh if I could go back to that heaven. To the corners I loved so dear, And hear the voice of that mother, That's been leading 'me through the year. I know I would not find another Of all the places I've known, Like the house sitting near the four corners. Tl1at's as dear as this place I call home. JESSIE SARGENT' '52 Our Old Covered Bridge fStillwater Bridgej Not far from home there stands a -bridge And town folks boast and say, It's stood for over a hundred years And its just as straight today. They talk of how the' bridge was built For oxen carts and teams, And how long wooden pegs were used To hold the massive beams. Now engineers who know have said It soon must be torn down, And they will build a modern one To connect us with Old Town. But We are going to miss it, We know that very well, And tl1ey'll never build its equal From what the old folks tell. Joanne Stormann '52 STUDENT COUNCIL First Row fleft to rightj: P. Martin, M.

THE SACHEM 43 STUDENT The student council of 1949-50 elected the following class officers: Ronald Cut- liffe, President: Gilbert Cook, Vice-Pres- ident: Pauline Martin, Secretary: and Patricia Ketchen, Treasurer. The following students are class rep- resentatives to the council: Sophomores -jean Archambaud, jackie Cutliffe, Mar- tin Grant: juniors-'Pauline Martin, Gil- bert Cook, Manley Smithg Seniorsf-'Pa- tricia Ketchen, Ronald Cutliffe, Fred White. One of the first activities of the council was the sponsoring of the sophomore re- ception, followed by the football dance. DEBATE During the first of November the De- bate Club began with enthusiasm to make plans and preparations for what has proved to be a successful season. The national high school question for debate this year has been-Resolved: that the President of the United States should be elected by direct vote of the people. The Debate Club gained its first ex- perience at the annual debate tourney in Bangor in which two teams were entered: affirmative, Marilyn Stubbs and Storer Emmett: negative, Robert Sibley and Betty Desjardins. The school was repre- sented by two teams at the University of Maine tournament in February. The policy of the tournament is to have the teams debate alternately each side of the question. One team composed of Wilma Monroe and Betty Desjardins won three of the first four rounds, qualifying for the quarter-finals where they were eliminated by Lewiston. In March the P, V. C. League debates were held at Bar Harbor, Brewer, and Ellsworth, with the results as follows: Robert Sibley and Storer Emmett of the COUNCIL Later the board voted to conduct again a magazine sales contest. This campaign resulted in our earning a considerable sum for the treasury, which has helped finance many activities, including the sci- ence fair projects, the debating program, and the annual Christmas party. At this Christmas party the awarding of letters and sweaters was made. Several matters of special interest to students have been dicussed and acted on. Our appreciation and thanks is extend- ed to Mr. Abbott for his help and guid- ance throughout the year. PAULINE MARTIN '51 CLUB affirmative team, winning five of their six debates, tied with Bar Harbor for the affirmative trophy. This team defeated Iohn Bapst, Bucksport, Ellsworth, Orono, and Brewer, losing only to Bar Harbor. Wilina Monroe and Betty Desjardins of the negative team won three of their six debates, winning over Bucksport, Brewer. and john Bapst. This put them in third place in their field of competition. In the preliminary rounds of the Bates lnterscholastic League both teams were accorded a favorable two-to-one decision, the affirmative winning over Bangor and the negative over Fairfield. ln these two leagues Betty Desjardins was named best speaker twice, Wilma Monroe once, and Storer Emmett six times. Other members who have been active in the club are Barbara Harris and Barbara Mclntosh. The members of the Debate Club wish to express their appreciation to Miss Ioan Sullivan, who has served faithfully as our coach and has given us invaluable assis- tance. STORER EMMETT '50 .

Others voted into of- fice were Barbara Harris, co-director: Ioan Given, secretary: Dorothy Leonard, treas- urer: Howard Stevens, program chairman: and Roger Libby, assistant program chairman. A committee appointed by the director was instructed to consider the purchase of books and pamphlets that would be of use in preparing skits for assemblies and over the loud-speaking system. After the formal closing of each meeting, a program was presented by a committee appointed by the program director. The presentation of the three one-act plays on March 31, sponsored by the Dramatics Club, was again realized as the' outstanding event of the season. At present, plans for a party for Dramatics Club members are being discussed. We wish to extend our sincere appre- ciation to Mrs. Webber, our new faculty advisor, for her active assistance and help- ful guidance in the attempt to make this another successful year for the O.

THE SACHEM 51 SENIOR PLAY Seventeen Is Terrific, dealing with the trials and tribulations of the Allenby family, truly proved to be terrific as presented by the senior class on Novem- ber l8, 1949. Chuck fRoger Libbyj and Barbie Allenby CHelen Yorkj managed to entangle their family in many hilarious escapades in their attempt to get dates for the annual Spring Dance. George Bennett QStorer Emmettj and Nancy Pomeroy fDorothy Leonardj, chief con- fidants, advisers, and alibis of Chuck and Barbie, only served to complicate matters with their sluggish ways and misconstrued advice. The Sherlock Holmes of the household, Billy fPaul Cyrj, and his shadow, Patsy Gardner fjean Rustinj, with their constant snooping and eaves- dropping, prove to be quite the heroes as they unwind the mysterious cheering around these dynamic Allenbys. Dr. Allenby fRobert Sibleyj finds his patience sorely tried as he comes home to rest his terribly sore feet, only to find the house in a turmoil. Notwithstanding her diifi- culties with the slow and sloppy Hannah Hawks Uoan Givenj, the country maid, and the antics of Ianie Allenby fDorothy MacPhersonj who wishes to become a cheerleader, Grandma Wagner lRena Sheehanj somehow manages to hold the household together. Pretty Ginny Grant fMarguerite Littlefieldl, the lass who rules Chuck's heart, and Hugo jarvis QHoward Stevensj, the ideal of all the girls in town, add the personal, romantic touch to the play. Stage manager Leslie Fayle and prompters, Betty Desjardins and Hazel Partington, contributed greatly to the suc- cess of the play. The cast wish to ex- press its appreciation to Mrs. Webber for her kind and helpful directing of the play. MARGUERITE LITTLEFIELD '50 JUNIOR SPEAKING EXHIBITION Each year eight junior boys and girls are chosen to participate in the junior Speaking Exhibition.

THE SACHEM 59 thluiilzs VARSITY BASKETBALL We wish to congratulate the varsity basketball team for the fine record that it established throughout the basketball sea- son. This was not only a record of wins and losses but also a record of sportsman- ship for the team and for Old Town High School. We also wish to congratulate Coach Billie Summers for his grand job of coaching. The strength of the team was to a large extent the result of its res- pect for the coach. Although some of the games were a little tough and nerves were a bit shattered, the coach and the boys never let up. The team won the Penobscot Valley Conference title and also their way to the semi-finals in the Eastern Maine Basketf ball Tournament. Because of these ac- complishments several organizations have honored the team at banquets and luncheons, and the Iunior Chamber of Commerce sponsored a trip to the state finals in Portland for them. The team will lose three men this spring, namely the co-captains, Leland Parady and Fred White, and Ronald Cutliffe. Old Town has not seen such a success- ful season of basketball for many years, It was made possible by the team, the VARSITY BASKETBALL First Row Cleft to righthz R. Carlow, R. Dawes, L. Parady, F.

THE SACHEM 63 TRACK-1949 Early in April Coach Raymond Gove issued a call to his track team to begin spring practice. He drilled his team hard in an attempt to regain possession of the P. V. C. Trophy which was lost last year to Orono. The team had an undefeated season, and. as their record shows, no team in this area could make the deficit less than twenty points. This team went to Waterville to parti- cipate in the State Meet. A total of 8 points was scored by Old Town. Ronald points each, bringing the total to 8 points. ln a state meet one is lucky to place fourth. This year's team will be a fresh green team but we wish them luck. Coach Gove deserves the sincere thanks of the team for the training he gave them. Bar Harbor 41, Brewer 15, Qld Town 86 at Bar Harbor. P. V. C. Meet at U. of M.

The team played one game with Iohn Bapst under the lights at the Garland Street Athletic Field. This game was well played on the part of both teams, but Iohn Bapst had a very strong line that kept Old Town from scoring. The final score was Iohn Bapst-8: Old Town-0. Old Town made up for this loss, however, by swamping Stearns 32-O. Unfortunately the team will lose five very good men at graduation time: Ronald Cutliffe, Donald Cates, Storer Emmett, Alfred Geroux, and Leland Parady. All the students at Old Town High School and the graduating seniors wish next year's team the best of luck. Thanks from the team to Coach Blasenak and the assistant coaches.

This game was a thriller, ending with a score of 9 to 8. From a squad of twenty girls, Coach Blasenak built a strong and aggressive team which brought much glory to the Green and White, and was one of the best teams ever to represent Old Town High School. The first game with Hampden was played by a very nervous and excited Old Town team. However, the girls soon 'overcame this stage fright handicap and won by a score of 28 to 17. Six more victories followed: then came the heart- breaking game with Ellsworth, the Penob- scot Valley Champs. The final game of the season was at Brewer, which ended a very pleasant and successful year for the Old Town nine. The team wish to express their thanks and appreciation to Coach Blasenak, who spent so much time and effort in coaching the softball girls.

After four weeks of practice the squad was cut to about thirty, and from this group a squad of twelve was chosen to play two games with a strong, experienced Howland team. The first game was played at Howland, a hard and fast game against an experi- enced squad. The girls were all nervous and excited about their first game, and the game ended with Howland winning by a large margin. The second game was played at Old Town. This game was much faster and the Old Town girls held their own all the way to the end. Howland won by a much smaller margin than they did in the previous contest. Although losing both games, the girls thoroughly enjoyed the season. Most of the players lacked experience and didn't have the opportunity to display their skill in many games, but their performances showed great promise for the future. Many thanks to Mrs. Merle Webber who gave much of her time and effort to coach these girls.
