Andre, is there anything you wish be- Oh, Father, why must I be in this prison awaiting death? Andre asked with humble pleading.

Down the winding road a stranger sauntered leisurely, but with a steady pace, toward the sleepy place of refuge that lay stretched before him. The town seemed still and peaceful to him, but then he remembered that it had always been like that before his journey away. Now he had returned. VVould it be the same as when he had once lived there?v he kept asking himself. At last he came to the sign that wel- comed weary travelers to the friendly village. He looked at it for a few minutes and then started to walk through the village. A steep mountainside lay at the end of the village, and he began the hard task of climbing it in order to reach the little white cottage which was waiting for his return, and inside of which Mecia and Toni would be saying the rosary in the evening twilight. with Mecia and Toni he has shown his forgiveness. I am ready now, padref' Then may God bless you, Andre, may God bless youli' Slowly Andre walked to the execution chamber, but in his heart he walked through the door of his little white cottage on the mountainside and into the arms of Mecia and Toni, never to leave them again. IESSIE SARGENT '52 NIGHT I used to sleep on my side, Curle-d up Like a little round kitten, And sometimes I was stretched long and comfortable, But. now I lie With my eyes wide open, Piercing the darkness like burning coals, And my ears are strained to every sound, But I hear nothing, There is nothing to hear. I am alone in the- darkness, Alone and terrified Of the black substance THE SACHEM Which surrounds me And the grotesque shadows hiding there within. Where is the drowsiness Which makes all troubles end? Where is the sleep? Why won't it come? I dread the nights, Tl1e awful, dark, friendless nights That now mean Nothing but fear and panic to me. ELIZABETH ARSENAULT '52 THE PURPLE HAT 'Twas Friday and bargain basement day, So into the store I made my way To the hat counter first, for Easter was soong Maybe elegant purple, with an ostrich plume. I dug -and I poked and I plowed my way through Some little straw hats of about every hue, A red and a green, an orange and brown, But no purple hat anywhere to be found. Perhaps the next counter, the saleslady said, And to her suggestion I nodded my head, I saw pillboxes, derbys, flowers, and veils, And some hats resembling miniature pails. I then spied a purple, a princess's delight, The pill to assuage the pains of the fight, I grabbed up the hat, paid the bill to the clerk, And tried to get out with one big jerk. But in my flight I neglected to see The woman who stood a short distance from me, My next door neighbor with her years-ago find, An old purple! hat, the twin sister to mine. JOYCE ANN BROCHU ,52 TRIBUTE TO THE SENIORS The seniors are a jolly class, They never seem to fight, But that's because they're going soon And want their name kept right. They want the faculty to think The senior class is best, But we, the underclassmen, know They sometimes are a pest. And yet we hate to see them go, We think that class is swell, And when commencement rolls around We'll sigh a sad farewell. ALICE LITTLEFIELD ,53 THE FIRST FIVE First comes Captain Carlow, Bursting through the hoop, Then comes Jackie Cutliffe, The fellow with the scoop, Third comes Grant, the shortest, Next is Loring, tall, Fifth comes Tubby Taylor, The set shot of them all. We now have Johnny Barker, Coach of the champion team, He's the one who aimed to put Our Indians on the beam. The season of 1952 Was just the best one yet, The first five is a team that we Shall never, never forget. COITINNE CIIIKRIEB '54 JANICE NIAYHEVV ,54 THE BELLE OF THE BALL The orchestra played on and on, The tune was really snappyg The girls all wore their broadest smiles And managed to look happy, But down inside they seethed with ire, Yet without an outward noise, And wondered, Who's the Jezebel Who has captured all the boys? For hours theyicl waited eagerly And looked forward to the ball, Not dreaming that this wench would keep Them sitting 'gainst the wall. As she danced by, she'd wink her eye And the stags would wait their turn, And all the while tl1e girls would smile, But inside, how they'd burn!

I stamped my feet there in the cold, I clapped my palms together, I even s-aid some naughty words About the lousy weather. Millions of cars kept passing by, Did any ot them stop? I stood there slowly freezing And my thoughts began to pop. Will that bus ever get here? It's twenty minutes late. If it wasn't for the weather I wouldn't mind the wait. Oh look, it's coming 'round the bend, The bus is here - I'm saved! Amen!! BARBARA KELLEY ,54 THE GAME The score was nothing to nothing, The period - number four, The time was fifty seconds, The fans had hoped for more. The score was nothing to nothing, And the home team had the ball, The little guy that couldn't shoot Was viewed with scorn by all. The score was nothing to nothing, He vowed at least he'd try, Just then the buzzer stopped the game, The fans let out a cry. The -score had been nothing to nothing, The coach could stand no more, But the ball had filled the basket And changed the home teamls score. The score was two to nothing, Observe the little guy, He was hugged and kissed by all the fans And the coach held him up high. The old gym shook and then it rocked, The fans went wild with glee, To think that we had won the game, One shot spelled victory. NIILLICENT CLARK '54 y WITHOUT US Like salt without the pepper, Or a boat without a, sailg Like pie without some ice-cream, Or the mailman without mail.

Like a hammer without a. nail, Or a, fork without a, knife, Like spring without true love, Or a man without a wife. Like a car without a motor, Or a, pitcher without a. glassg That would be Old Town High School, Without this senior class. NANETTE BLANCHARD '52 BEAUTY Never before have my eyes feasted upon such a heavenly creation. Her eyes have the luster and sparkle of rare Arabian opals. Her lovely limbs are of unmatched beauty. As she walks by, people stop what- ever they may be doing and watch her until she is out of sight. Her hair glows and shimmers in the sun. Who is this lovely creature? Ah, she is Charlene, our bob-tailed tiger cat. RICHARD CHADBOURNE '52 CLASS SECRETARY There's fun in serving others And plenty of heartaches too, There are praises, smiles, and grumblings, And arguments old and new. But it's nice to know they want you To represent them there, To know they put their trust in you For you'll never be unfair. You always try to do your best Anld hope they will approve, Then when you're re-elected You know you're in the groove. BETA OGDEN '52 32 THE SACHEM SROTALACSE You stare at it in amazement and tell yourself that whoever invented this was certainly a clever man. After you have examined it for awhile, at a distance, you wonder how it works. You step bravely up to the little ramp and watch it more closely. You think you will make one des- perate try, but there is an uncertainty about you, so you don't go through with it. You look around and wonder if people are staring at you. They are not, so you decide to make another attempt, only to become fainthearted again. Well, I'll try once more, you say. The third time never fails. Once more you bravely step forward, this time to plunge ungracefully onto the little black moving ramp. For a moment you have a sensation as though you are going to lose your bal- ance, but then it passes. Having fought and won your battle, you sigh and say that it wasn't so bad after all. Then you wonder, why don't they have escalators in every store? ELEANOR Dow ,52 LAST LETTER It was only a. letter All tattered and torn, From a boy over there Who'd been battle worn. He's left this dark world, He is one of the few Who have passed on to heaven For me and for you. The poor lady read, it With tears in her eyes, Her hand started shaking, She looked to the skies. And now all alone She rocks in her chair, And prays for the boys Who still fight over there. A SLEIGH RIDE The sun is shining brightly As we climb into the sleigh, The children all are laughing, Eager to be on their way. Hear the sleigh bells jingle As we glide across the snow, Giddap there, Jack and Dobbin, Hi hor! Away we go! See the trees around us All weighted down with snow, Oh, what a beautiful sight they make As merrily we go. There's a. great big snowdrift, A rabbit's coming this way, Watch out there, little fellow, Or you'll land beneath the sleigh. Now we've started home again And I think you'll all agree There's nothing like a. sleigh ride To make your heart feel free. JEANETTE FOSTER ,52 MY CAREER -- TEACHING After I graduate, I would like to go to normal school and study teaching. I want to be a teacher because I believe teaching would be interesting work. In this field I must work with people in such a Way as to help them help themselves. I would feel a satisfaction in knowing I was help- ing my students. In teaching, I feel that I would give my time willingly and be patient wth the pupils. Today as always, teachers are necessary in our modern life. Their understanding and knowledge are important to the chil- dren of today, who will be the leaders of our country tomorrow. Because I like children and enjoy working with them, I know that a career of teaching would be the most interesting one for me. 5 I FRANK Bismmnn 52 Donorar Srnour 52 THE SACHEM 33 DEAR DIARY I'm not the kind of person Who tells, everything, it's true, But, Friend, I think it's safe for me To tell my thoughts to you. You d-on't reveal my secrets And you never laugh at me, I'll trust you to my dying day - Dear Friend, Dear Diary. JACQUELINE PARENT '52 HOT RODS Squeaking and rattling they roll down the road, Bouncing along like a warty old toad, Bucking and spitting they burn up the oil As they kick and they roar and they tear up the soil. Holding together with old nuts and bolts, Always as fierce as a herd of young coltsg Rods ever knocking and wrist pins now slapping, Wherever they go they are met with loud clapping. Although they are wrecks by mechanical laws, I'll take them instead of a new car, because A youngster of ten years can easily run 'em, And if you get mad, you can manage to junk 'em. FRANCIS GUAY '52 THE RADIO REPAIRMAN The first night that I moved into a new neighborhood, my radio broke down. An- noyed, I ran down the block to a sign that read Radio Repair Manf' Finding the shop empty as I entered, I started to browse around. Almost im- mediately I confronted a man, who ap- peared to be about twenty years of age. He was wearing dark glasses, but as it was a sunny day and the shop had large didn't think this too strange. my situation and gave him windows, I I explained my address, telling him that I would be afternoon and would expect at home all him as soon as he got a chance to come. It was about an hour later when the door bell rang. I answered, expecting to find only the repair man, but much to my surprise I found a young girl waiting there also, with the repair man's hand in hers. I thought to myself that they must just be in love, since they appeared to be the same age. I led them into the room where the radio was sitting in the middle of the floor. He put down his tools, after feeling over the back of the radio for about ten minutes. Finally he began working rapid- ly. I thought it strange for him to be still wearing the dark glasses, but I didnit want to appear rude, so I kept my thoughts to myself. The girl stood beside him, and he kept asking her for certain tools. Al- most instantly she would select the cor- rect tool, and I noticed she would always put it into his hand for him. Finally they finished, and the radio worked perfectly. I paid him for a job well done, and they left, the girl leading the way with his hand in hers. The next day, my curiosity being too much for me, I asked a neighbor about him. I was very much surprised when I learned that this fellow, an expert radio repairman, was totally blind. DAVID KETCHEN '53 PLAYING HOOKEY The cop was round the corner And he caught me by surprise, For I was playing hookey, This much he did surmise. He grabbed me by the collar And he turned me round about, He told me I should be in school And this I did not doubt. He took me to the principal, Who- smiled my faith to win, ' And then his mouth turned upside down Once the office we were in. 34 THE SACHEM He asked where I was going, I was supposed to be in school! But the joke was all on them, I was playing April Fool. GEOHGIE ROLLINS ,52 THE STORY OF CICERYLE Ciceryle was a knight who was ever so bold, Although he was then only nineteen, years old, A knight he had been for more than two years, But the sound of the battle was new to his ears. At last one sad day he was called to the Palace And learned from the king that someone had killed Alice, Alice the beautiful, Alice the fair, Alice right now had an axe in her hair. When Ciceryle left, there was a flood Of flesh and bones and people's blood, He was sent to search a knight called Fain, The cause of why poor Alice was slain. When at last he encountered that adamant knight, Another came swiftly to join in the fight, And now as we look on this horrible scene, Behold there is Ciceryle dead in the stream. Sad, sorrowful sight, it is time that we fled, Look again, it's not Ciceryle, only his head. RICHARD HASKI-:LL ,54 ON TIME I woke at eight And with great haste Got set for school, No time to waste. I hurried off To join the crowd, And for such speed I felt real proud. I turned the corner, Gazed to my right, Sped down the street, No one in sight. I reached the school, Stopped in dismay, For I recalled 'Twas Saturday. NANCY BAs1N '54 THESE THINGS I LOVE Above. all else, these things I love - However small they seem to you To me they show God up above, Offering peace eternal, true. To bed at night without a sigh, Beneath a roof of twinkling stars, While branch streams sing a lullaby, Instead of noisy motor cars. To wake at dawn, rise with the sun, Cook breakfast over a fire of wood, Shoulder my pack, strap on my gun, And fish all day where fishingis good. I find here freedom, time to play, Riches are mine and wealth untold, I'm, king cf all that I survey, Let me have thisg give fools their gold. FRED DOW ,52 JUST A SMILE 'Twas just a. smile that was given From a friend whom I chanced to meet, With a. face as bright as a. sunbeam In the busy city street. Yet to my heart it brought sweetness, That smile so loving and true, That my troubles soon melted to nothing - And I found myself smiling too. LARRY MESSIER '52 A LESSON VVhen I was a little girl, my parents could never scold me or punish me when I was unruly, because I would cry until I became sick, therefore, they resorted to other measures of discipline that I am sure were just as effective. Today I look back on them and laugh. The incident that I remember best is the day when I cut my hair. I have al- ways had naturally curly hair, and when I was a little girl I wore it in long ring- lets. For some reason or other I always wanted to have short hair. When my sis- ter had her hair cut, I teased to have mine cut too, but my folks did not give in, so I took matters into my own hands. I was THE SACHEM 35 only about four years old at the time, but I can still remember the incident clearly. I had a pair of toy scissors which, of course, were not sharp enough to be harm- ful, however, they were quiie effeciive in cutiing paper dolls and, as I also found out, hair. I did a very untidy job of cut- ting off the front of my hair with them. Mama didnit say much when. she saw it, but I knew that she was not very pleased. When my father came home from work that night, the trouble really started. If you knew my father, I am sure you would understand the effect of his next words on a little four-year-old who was already sorry for what she had done. He is over six feet tall, which seems very tall when youire only four, and when he says something funny, he can keep his face just as straight as a poker. He didn,t give me the scolding that I expected and knew that I deserved. He simply said, Well, when we go to town on Saturday, Weill take you into Barney Moores' Garage and have him weld your hair back onf' I didn't know that hair couldn't be welded back on, and I was thoroughly ter- rified. When Saturday came, terror was still mounting within me. When we reach- ed town I said hardly a word, because I thought that if I were quiet they might forget me. Sure enough, they forgot. I breathed a little easier when I reached home, but I didnit dare mention it because I thought that they might have it done some other time. Of course they never did and I understand now why they didn't, but it was a long time before I found out that they were just kidding me. You can be very sure that I never cut my hair again without permission from my parents. In fact, my hair was never cut again until I was in junior high school. PATRICIA HOPKINS '52 LOVE OF MY LIFE My heart is all a.-stir for you, My mind don't know just what to dog I live for you, my little pearl, You are my everlasting girl. And that's not all, my little one, You are my moon, you are my sun, There ain't much in this world but strife, But I have you, and you're my life. If Fate should ask me, What have YOu To dedicate your life's work to? I'd think of you and then I'd tell her, HI have my donkey, Esmereldaf' DONALD MARSH ,53 A BOYS ORDEAL Ma says, Take the rubbish out. Pa says, Shut the dolor. Sis says, Wipe the dishes.

HABLAND Cusr '53 MY DREAM I would like to build a cabin In a. field where grass is green, Where the sky is filled With bluebirds And the air is sweet and clean. I would like to plant a. garden Where- the weeds may never grow, And share a life that's happy With a pretty girl I know. Here we'd live in our small cabin. With our children dear and. kind, Until life's long days are over, Then another home we'd find.

MAE CURRIER '54 SQUIRT'S DIARY If Squirt, my cousin Barbara, aged two, were old enough to keep a diary, it would read something like this: Monday. Mommy washed the clothes. I helped. Turned on pump of washing machine and emptied water all over the floor and almost drowned the pups. When Mommy came in from hanging out some clothes, she was quite irritated fthat's her pet wordl. She cleaned up the water. Put me to bed. Tuesday. Mommy cooked. I helped. Emptied dog food into the cookies. Mom- my threw them away. Don't see why. I eat it when nobody sees me. It's good. Mommy started over. Later I only tried to take a pan of cookies from the oven. I landed in bed again. Wednesday. Mommy went shopping. I went too. We went into the grocery store. I upset all the canned goods I could reach and finally got lost. I don't go shopping anymore. Thursday. Had a hard day. Mommy put me to bed early. Daddy got me up. We went to St. Andrews. They took me into a restaurant in my night dress. Didn't get anything to eat. Mommy upset her soda. I got the blame for that too. When I got home I was glad to get to bed, Friday. Mommy took me to see a little boy. We had fun. I pushed him off a chair and beat him up. He cried. I went home. Saturday. Mommy cleaned house. I helped. I cleaned the fireplace. When Mommy found me I looked like a chimney sweep. Mommy spanked me. Daddy put me to bed. Sunday. Mommy was busy getting din- ner. Didn't know what to do with my bib so I threw it on the gas stove. It caught fire and burned pretty. Mommy was awful irritated. She doesnit have red hair for nothing. I always end up in bed. MARY ANN CONNOBS 752 LITERATURE Why must we study literature? It's this I'd like to know. What do I care about Whittier Or Edgar Allen Poe? What difference does it make to me By whom Cool Tombs was written, Or if Bret Harte was sixty-three When he by death was smitten?

He is polished from his gestures down to the Way he walks. His manners are superb, and he will go out of his way to please a lady. I know just such a gentleman. Excel- lent are his manners. He holds his head high, and he walks proudly. He has a deep voice. His Well-brushed hair has a clean, healthy shine. At the dining table he is the center of attraction because of his knowledge of etiquette. He sits and waits until the food is passed to him, or he speaks gently for something that does not come his way. My every wish is his command. When I want to go for a walk, he is always present to accompany me. He never looks at other girls but stays close by my side. When I tire of walking, he is willing to return home with me. If I want to listen to music or knit or read, he doesn't get impatient. No, he sits and waits until I can again tum my atten- iion to him. Yes, he will do anything to please a lady. I am his lady, and he is my little gentleman-Angus, my cocker spaniel. ELAINE THOINIPSON '52 THINGS THAT HURT Sometimes even though you have an injury that is painful, the thoughts that go through your mind hurt you even more. To explain what I mean, let me use a true experience of mine. It started one cool September night, when the Old Town High School football team traveled to Madison to play a night game. I had been the regular center all season, but because of injuries the coach had changed me to halfback. This was the first time I had ever run from the backfield in a varsity game. I felt different about this game, maybe a bit apprehensive. As I listened for the whistle to sound for the game to get under way, I was nervous and I could feel butterflies in my stomach. We lost the flip of the coin and Madi- son elected to receive. As I sat on the bench waiting for my turn to run an offense, the coach came over and said, How do you feel? -Know your plays? Assuring him that I did, I was sent in. It all seemed strange to me at first, but Lady Luck must have been with me, for 38 THE SACHEM I ran, gaining each carry. Then my Lady Luck seemed to fly away. I got hurt. It happened when one of the quarterbacks called 39-R, which was a play I carried Wide around my right end. When the ball snapped, I took the hand-off from the halfback and started behind my in- terference wide around end. Two of my interferers left me at the line of scrimmage to block the backer- ups. As they disappeared, I broke for the sidelines and got hit hard down around the ankles. I spun, trying to pivot away, but another tackle hit me high. I landed with a jolt. The pain shot right through my right leg, and the lights started spin- ning as if they were going to fall on top of me. I had a chipped ankle which hurt, but what hurt more was those eyes from the crowd burning through me. I wanted to get up and walk, and to think that I couldnit made tears roll down my face. The embarrassment of being car- ried off the field on a stretcher hurt more than did the throbbing ankle. They carried me into the Madison High School building and put me on a small bed to await the ambulance. The kind- ness of friends seemed to make me for- get for awhile, but then I began to cry again, not because of my leg but because I thought that I had played my last foot- ball game. The assistant coach seemed to know that I was hurt more inside than out. The smooth manner in which he told me how I would be ready for next week seemed to lighten the heavy load. The coach reviewed the game for me. What he said to me about my playing should have made me happy, instead, I felt worse than ever, realizing that I wouldn't be with our happy group, throw- ing wet towels around the shower room, thrilled over our win. I would be going home lonely in an ambulance. My ankle was not aching much, but I still cried, because I was hurt inside, down deep where it hurts the most, thatis why.

ROBERT MARSH '52 A LAZY MAN'S THOUGHTS Have you ever observed bath water? I don't mean the texture or the color, but rather the behavior of the water. After the plug has been pulled and the Water begins to drain, notice how it curls around and around in a funnel-shaped pattern. Now I have watched many times, and the water always curls the same way-from left to right. I once read that the miniature whirl- pools that lie at the foot of dams also whirl in a clockwise manner. Another ob- servation of mine was how smoke curls up into the sky on a Windless day. It also spirals from left to right. When I was small, there was a rose trellis in our yard and a special type of vine began to grow up the sides. Each one of the vines wound its way in a clockwise manner up the framework of the trellis. I used to wonder if all this was coin- cidental or part of the pattern of nature, however, I once read the works of a re- nowned philosopher, and in his writings he spoke of the fact that in Chile smoke curls from right to left. Now I am puzzled. I would like to know if bath water, and whirl-pools, and vines in Chile curl and wind their way from right to left like the smoke. If they do, it is certainly due to gravity and the posi- tion of the equator. If these things are true, what happens when a fire is built on the equator? Another thing that can easily be ob- served is the rnannerisms of people. In dancing and playing games, for instance, people go from right to left. In baseball, if the runner goes around the bases, he goes from right to left, doesn't he? Well, I wonder if the people of Chile do the opposite. One final puzzling question: I Wonder if the majority of South Americans are lefthanded and if watches and clocks run backward. If they do, my reaction is that part of the time some of the people are normal and the rest of the time the other people are normal. The easy thing to do, however, is to let the world keep going as it has been and let lazy people like me spend their time in more simple thought patterns. JACKIE ABBOTT '52 ARE WE ALL THE SAME? The white people believe themselves to be better than the Negro, and why should they not be superior? They have better opportunities for education, better living quarters, and chances for advancement. If a family of Negroes move into a section of whites, the townspeople will fight anything to prevent them from living in their neighborhood. Yet they will turn around and employ a Negro maid or a Negro cook. If they believe the Negroes are not intelligent, why do they allow Negro maids to care for their children? And if they think they are unclean and not equal to a white person, why do they allow Negro cooks to handle their food? Take a little look around the classroom. No two people in the room have the same complexion, but they are not barred from activities. VVhy shut out the Negro because of his black skin? JEROME M1sHoU '58 40 THE SACHEM MY NIECE,S VISIT Did you ever experience the thrill of hearing pitter-patter of tiny feet sounding along the hallway while you are attempt- ing to sleep? Did you ever get the rise of seeing your mascara blotched on little eyes, or cringe in horror when your pow- der is dusted on the floor from the bed to the corridor? And did you ever sit down to eat a meal that you think just can't be beat, when all of a sudden through the air, mashed potato lands in your hair? And then again, did you ever dress with care, applying lipstick rare, then trip not so lightly on the stair on dolls and dishes lying there? Well, if you haven't, I don't envy you, because in spite of all these tribulations I wouldn't swap my niece for the United Nations. PATRICIA GODFREY ,53 THE UNSUCCESSFUL SECRETARY Mary had a better job at last. She was to be the private secretary to the vice- president of a large company in her town. That first morning she dressed carefully, selecting her brown skirt, gray sweater, red socks, and saddle shoes run down at the heels. She had only five minutes to catch the bus, and when she got to the stop, the bus had gone. When she arrived at the office twenty minutes late, her boss just looked at her and said nothing. Later he called her to take dictation. Good-morning, Mary, greeted Mr. jones. Hi, Bill, repied Mary. Mr. jones again just looked at her and started to dictate. Dear Mr. Bird: Thank you --- Whatis the matter?', My pencil just broke, said Mary, as she rose to sharpen it. She sharpened and sharpened so long that Mr. jones gave her his pencil to use. After taking dictation, Mary began to transcribe her notes. She made an error in the first letter, but she did not erase it because it was lunchtime and she had decided this error did not need to be erased anyway. At lunch she spilled coffee all over her skirt, and she left the skirt like that-all spotted. That afternoon a man came to see Mr. jones. Hello, Miss. Is Mr. jones in? I'd like to see him if I may. Mr. jones then came out from the inner office, and seeing Mr. Brown standing there, he greeted him cordially. Good afternoon, Mr. Brown. How are you? I believe you haven't met my secre- tary. Mary, this is Mr. Brown, the presi- dent of our company. At those words Mary shrank into her chair. That night before leaving, Mary was dismissed from her job. Her boss explained to her that he was disillusioned about her ability as a secretary and that her job re- quired a different personality from the one Mary had shown that day. Mary sighed and left the office. Oh, well, guess Iill have to look for another jobf, she mused. FRANCES MARTIN 152 CON SCIENCE The night is still and dark, still as the dead and darker than a thunder cloud. What is it that makes these tired eyes re- fuse to shut out this abyss of endless black? Why does this stillness persist in pressing forward? Yes, I know, but I am afraid. Why did I do it? I didn't really want to. I just thought I was being smart, but I wasn't quite smart enough. You see, I was caught chewing gum in school today.

THE SACHEM 43 DEBATE CLUB During the first of October the Debate Club met to plan the schedule for the coming year. The national school question for debate this year was: Resolved, that all American Citizens Should be Subject to Conscription for Essential Service in Time of War. The Penobscot Valley Conference Tour- nament was held in March. An affirmative team, composed of Virginia Lavoie and Sharon Leavitt, and a negative team, com- posed of Betty Buzzell and jessie Sargent, represented Old Town. janice Davis serv- ed as alternate for the two teams. The affirmative team had an excellent record and consequently tied with Brewer for the trophy. Their wins were over Urono, john Bapst, Brewer, Bucksport, and Ellsworth. Their one loss was to Bar Harbor. The negative was victorious over Orono, Ellsworth, and Buclcsport. Losses were to john Bapst, Brewer, and Bar Harbor. A third debating activity in which our club participated was the state-wide Bates interscholastic competition held in March. In this activity Old Town High School won the sectional contest by defeating Stearns High School 3-0 and Brewer High School 2-1, and thus qualified for the tournament on the Bates College campus in April, placing fifth. Officers were elected by the club as follows: President, Sharon Leavitt, Vice- President, 'Virginia Lavoie, Secretary, Alice Littlefield, Publicity Chairman, Lawrence Dutton. The Debate Club wishes to thank the faculty for serving as judges. 4We should also like to express our deepest gratitude to our coach, Miss Margaret Mollison, for her constant and untiring effort to help the club achieve the success it has earned during the past year. .A SHARON LEAVITT ,553 STUDENT COUNCIL For the year 1951-52 the Student Coun- cil elected the following officers: President, jackie Cutliffe, Vice-President, Richard Martin, Secretary, jean Archambaud, Treasurer, janet Srnith. Class representa- tives to the council are as follows: Seniors - jean Archambaud, jackie Cutliffe, George Brissette, juniors - janet Smith, Richard Martin, Russell Godin, Sopho- mores - Sandra Burke, Sanford Podolsky, and Gene Guerin. The first activity sponsored by the coun- cil was the Sophomore Reception. The magazine sales project was again carried on. The profit enabled us to finance the annual Christmas party and assist in financing expenses of our Regional Science Fair winners, when they represented our school at the State Science Fair, and the debating teams in their trip to Bates Col- lege, when they won their way into the semi-finals in April. A special project for the year was to purchase frames for pic- tures of outstanding school groups to be placed' in the new building. Before the year is completed, the council expects to provide for some other special projects, which we cannot disclose at this time. Among the problems presented to the council was the advisability of publishing a school paper. The council decided that a paper should not be started until fewer activities are carried by the school than is the case at present, so that students and teachers will not be further overburdened by an activity schedule already too heavy. The council members wish to express their appreciation to Mr. john Abbott for his help throughout the year. jfEAN ARCHAMBAUD 352 GIRIS GLFE CLUB F1rst left to ught R Lxttleueld L Whltney J Mayhew C Cu111er P Godfrey J Brochu E B1own J Foster Mr Garabedlan D Goodln L Dolan P Cosseboom Second N Blanchaxd J Stevens R Ogden J Parent E Buzzell N Lowell J Sm1th A Grant J D'lVlS C Young A LlttlGf161d S Laskey P Grlfflth J Stormann G Burke V Lavole C Cunnlngham J Llttlefleld R Klnkow P Klng Ghnchey L Babklrk I' Nason S Bertrand E Arsenault R Thlbodeau G BISIIOIJ E Leavltt G Kmg ORCHESTPA Flrst lelt to rlght R Brown P Godfrey L Dolan A Llttletleld J Brochu Mr Garabed an W Carr C Bouchard G Tedd L Rand Second E Blown J Stormann B Buzzell R Slbo R Gllbert B Chappelle M L Young P Cosseboom J Llttlefleld H E Clewley P Klng Th1rd E Dow J Foster P Ouellette H Laskey K LaF1'1mme J Marquis W MHYQUIS L Babk1rk B Kelly R Kmkow D Marsh l w J Y .J ' , : , ' , '.

THE SACHEM 47 BOYS, GLEE CLUB The Boys' Glee Club was organized early in the school year under the direc- tion of Mr. Charles Garabedian, and it has met each Monday afternoon. It is divided into two singing groups, tenor and bass. The tenor group consists of Merton Stor- mann, john Michaud, Richard Thibodeau, Alfred VVebster, Fred Dow, Ronald Gil- bert, Donald Marsh, Roy Thurston, Thomas Haley, and Charles Thibodeau. The bass parts are sung by Alden Brad- bury, Norman Ogden, Frank Bertrand, Beverly Hinckley, Iackie Abbott, Herbert Buck, William Marquis, John Cutliffe, Al- phonse Laliberte, and Walter Curtis. The club participated in the program at the Christmas party. It is now preparing four selections, April Showersf, Don't Fence Me Inf, Stout-Hearted Menf' and Oklahoma,,' for Music Night. Four mem- bers of the club took part as a quartet in the state play contest. They were Fred Dow, Ronald Gilbert, Donald Marsh, and Beverly Hinckley. The help of the accompanist, Elaine Brown, and the direction of Mr. Garabe- dian have been deeply appreciated. FRED Dow '52 BAND This year proved very successful for the school band.

RICHARD CHADBOURNE '52 DRAMATICS CLUB Try-outs were held at the beginning of the year for the selection of new mem- bers. The club voted to have a total of not more than forty members. For this reason, only ten additional students could be accepted for membership. Last spring the following officers were elected: Elizabeth Arsenault, Director, Peggy Beek, Co-Director, Mary Ellen St. john, Secretary, Nanette Blanchard, Pro- gram Chairman. This year the club voted to put on a musical instead of the annual three one- act plays, so that more members could participate in a production. Try-outs for this musical were held April 2, 1952. The fact that the club had much more singing and dancing talent this year than in pre- vious years helped to make the musical possible. A committee was elected by the club to revise the 1951 Charter. Those elected to the Committee were Nanette Blanchard, john Michaud, and Mary Ellen St. john.

After many tedious but valuable Weeks of practice, the team gradually began to de- velop into the new pattern. The opening game drew near, bringing to the team its first real test. The new edi- tion of the Indians dominated the play throughout the entire Madison game, fin- ishing with a 57 to 21 victory. Then before long came the most important game of the regular season-that never-to-be-for- gotten victory over Bangor, our first bas- ketball victory over the Rams in seven years. This accomplishment gave Old Town great confidence and caused some coaches in the state to have a few sleep- less nights! The warriors were brilliant all through the season, racking up one of the most out- standing records in the state. They won seventeen victories against a lone defeat, that being to Ellsworth on their floor. The climax of the season came when the Eastern Maine Tournament began. The first game of the tournament had Old Town lined up against the always-dan- gerous Bangor team. The game, which was 'Y Pl f 'J 'f , , , IUALJYI CHEERLEADERS First, left to right: R. Kinkow, S.

THE S packed with excitement, found Old Town once again the victor, this time by a score of 43 to 37. The game kept the eyes of the other participating teams on the spirited and driving Barkermen. Next came the powerful VVaterville club, which was the second opponent for the Indians in the tournament. Having no trouble with the Panthers, Old Town took this semi-final game with a decisive score of 53 to 30. Once again the crowd-pleasing Old Town team took the floor for their bid to win the Eastern Maine Champion- ship, facing the Stearns Minutemen of Millinocket. The tribesmen put on a great exhibition of ball handling and control, winning by a score of 68-53. This was the second Old Town team to win an Eastern Maine Basketball Championship. On their return home, the Old Town Indians re- ceived a sincere and enthusiastic recep- tion from their faithful fans. Dick Carlow and jackie Cutliffe were named on the Eastern Maine All-tourney first team. As an added feather in his bon- net Old Townis very capable captain, Dick Carlow, was honored with the Outstanding Player Award. Working very hard every day, the squad prepared themselves for the state play-off to be held in Portland. Their foes were the king-sized Western Maine Champs from Lewiston. The team, along with a large segment of the population of Old Town, arrived at the Portland Exposition Building for its State Championship bid. From the opening whistle to the closing gun, a never-to-be forgotten drama was unfolded before an excited, cheering, and tense crowd. For the first time in the his- tory of Old Town, the Indians, under the leadership of their brilliant coach, cap- tured the state crown. For the next two weeks the cry all over Old Town was on to Bostonf' where the team was to have the honor of playing in HEM 67 C the New England Tournament. While they were there, the Indians went down in de- feat at the hands of the 1952 New England Champs, a team representing Hillhouse High School of New Haven, Connecticut. On returning home, the team was greeted with a warm welcome from its loyal rooters. Throughout the season the team showed real sportsmanship, and this was referred to again and again by opponents, fans, and many officials throughout the state. This, together with many other desirable quali- ties, reflected the fine coaching received from Coach john Barker. The season of 1951-52 will go into the history of the school as a memorable one, long to be remembered because of the fine sports- manship and the very exceptional record of its basketball team.

After placing second in the four-way meet with the University of Maine Freshmen, Orono High School, and Higgins Classical Institute, the team went on to take first place in a triangular meet with Bar Harbor and Ellsworth, and first place in a four-way meet with Ellsworth, Orono, and Brewer. For the fourth time in five years the team then won the Pen- obscot Valley Conference meet with a very large margin. Eighteen members of the team entered the State Track Meet at Waterville, earn- ing eight points. Among those placing were Chellis Smith, Fred Loring, Edward Taylor, and Capt. Deane Harris. Smith and Loring placed second in the pole vault and high jump respectively, be- coming eligible for the New England Meet held in Vermont. They made excellent showings among the stiff competition, Chellis Smith winning a medal for a tie for third place in the pole vault. Fourteen letters were awarded for the season's work to the following boys: Cap- tain Deane Harris, Edward Taylor, Alden Brangwynne, Ronald St. Louis, Chellis Smith, Neal Lowell, Robert Boardman, john Pearson, Herbert Buck, Fred Loring, George Brissette, Gene Guerin, john Cut- liffe, Robert Thibodeau, Manager Arthur Herbert, Frank Bertrand, numerals.

The five lettermen left after graduation form a fine nucleus on which to build the 1952 team. FOOTBALL Under the direction of the very capable and likeable coach, Howard Blasenak, football season opened. Strong in the first game, the team defeated Fairfield. At the next game the team gave one of its great rivals, john Bapst, all the proof that the Indians were a team to be watched in this area. Old Town won this game by a score of 12-7. From then on, the Old Town team was hampered by injuries, six members of the squad being on crutches at one time. Never did the remaining players slow down, however, or soften their punch. Teamwork really effected the maintenance of a presentable lineup and an acceptable record. Inspired by their loyal coach, the boys asked nothing and gave nothing. The spirit paid off, and as a result the team finished with a 4-4 record. Co-captains were Paul Buchanan and George Brissette, seniors.

THE SACHEM 71 IUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL The junior Varsity Basketball team had another fine season under the coaching Of Bernard MacKenzie, losing but six games in eighteen starts. Coach MacKenzie really had a job fac- ing him as the season began, having lost rnost Of last season,s players, who had either become seniors or had made the varsity squad. As usual, however, he came up with a fine club, which won eight of its first nine games, losing that one by only one point to Stearns High School at Mill- inocket. Then Russell Godin and the LaPlante twins, Robert and Ralph, were promoted to varsity duty. The remaining squad, along with those taken from the varsity, did well, but they cOuldn,t quite measure up to the fine record earlier in the season. Standouts for this year's squad, in addi- tion to those already mentioned, were Richard Martin, Arthur Miles, Leonard St. Peter, Elden Carroll, James LaGasse, and Walter Beaulieu.

Under the trained eye Of Coach Bernard MacKenzie, the team be- gan to take shape. The infield was rounded Out, smoothed, and polished. Soon the Out- field looked very promising. Before long the team was well-Organized and ready to play. The first game was with Bar Harbor, and the Indians won it easily. The Indians continued through the season, displaying fine performances each time they played. The number one hurler was Don Sparky,' Tait, who put on a dazzling display of accuracy and change of pace. After completing the regular season with a record Of six wins against two losses, the team went On to play Off with Stearns High School of Millinocket in the quarter- final round Of the Eastern Maine title at the University of Maine. The Braves en- tered this round with an undefeated record in P. V. C. games. Stearns won this play- off game, but the record Of the Indians will speak for itself as to just how good the team was. After a wonderful season with a 6-S record, the ball club hung up their spikes. Seniors on the team were Bob Beek, Roger Cyr, Ken Parady, Chellis Smith, Dan Webster, and Frank Sirois.

THE SACHEM ' M 73 GIRLS, SOFTBALL 1951 The softball team of 1951 concluded a successful season with only three losses out of nine games played, losing to Brewer, Ellsworth, and Bucksport. With a squad of twenty-one girls, Coach Blasenak built a powerful team, which gave opponents keen competition at all times and which showed great sportsmanship throughout the season. Even though the team- lost four players at graduation last year, it should come back this coming season just as powerful as before, because of the many girls who show great interest and possibilities in softball. Watch for the 1952 season! The team wishes to express its appre- ciation to Coach Blasenak, who spent so much time and effort in coaching the soft- ball team.

THE SACHEM 75 MAJORETTES Our group of majorettes began their usual routine practice at the opening of school in September. The girls have prac- ticed every Monday and Thursday throughout the year, with extra practices for special occasions. During the year the girls, in their neat green and white uniforms, have performed at football games, basketball games, and other outside activities. The majorettes have been very faithful to the Old Town basketball team, supporting the Indians all the way through the Eastern Maine tournament, and on to the Boston Garden for the New England tournament. The majorettes are now organizing new routines for the Music Festival in May. To Mr. Frank Grant, our coach, Mr. Leo Thayer, our band leader, and Mr. john Abbott, our principal, all of whom deserve a great deal of credit in making our per- formances possible, here is a big thank you from the majorettes. FERN NAsoN ,52 h GlRLS' BASKETBALL Members from the senior, junior, and sophomore classes formed intramural teams and enjoyed a Worthwhile season of girls' basketball. Practices were held twice a week after school, both at the Y.M.C.A. and at the Helen Hunt Gym. At the beginning of the season repre- sentatives attended the Basketball Clinic at the University of Maine, to receive an interpretation of rule changes and watch a practice game. During the season a special practice session was held at the gym with a team from Bangor. Gail Bell was high scorer that day for Old Town. Acting as student managers for the sea- son were the following: senior manager, jessie Sargent, junior managers, Sharon Leavitt, Virginia Lavoie and Eleanor Leavitt, sophomore manager, Carol May Beaulieu. Ellen Colson and Marilyn Moore were appointed intramural captains. All of the girls wish to express their sincere appreciation to their coach, Miss Mollison, for her helpfulness in promoting the success of girls' basketball this year.
