M 1 A ,Ng or H o N o H P A ra T s .--4 CJ L A S S P4 I S T O R Y Paul Ordway On a Wednesday morning in Septenp ber 1941, a group of seventy-four chattering, large-eyed youngsters outfitted in brand new clothes tramped over the school grounds of Pembroke Academy. As a number of towns were repre- sented.it took us considerable time to get acquainted. After the tur- moil had settled somewhat, and the classes became better organized, we conducted our first class meeting with Miss Stevens as our class ad- visor. We elected William Welch, as presidentg Glorie Henry, vice-pres- identg Alfred Sawyer,secretaryg and Solon Colby, treasurer. As freshmen we participated in many school activities such as base- ball,prize speaking, glee club, and the school dances. When basketball season came, we were well repre- sented at practice and three of our players, Wilma Gale, Clayton Batch- elder, and William Welch, earned their versity letters. The annual Austin Memory Prize Speaking Contest was held on December 18, at which time Joanne Henricksen won second prize. When winter snows disappeared and spring came, baseball practice started in full swing under the supervision of Mr. Jennings, with the freshmen contributing two play- ers--Gerald Lafondf--and William Welch. When it came time for us to spon- sor the St. Patrick's dance,we were rather confused,but under the guid- ing hand of our class advisor, Miss Stevens, we transformed the bleak hall into a place of rare beauty. As the school year came to an end, we had changed from a bunch of chat- ter boxes to a group of studious individuals. -nug- In September l942,Pembroke Acad- emy once again threw its doors open to the class of '45, We found some of our classmates missing, but we welcomed three new members--Jeanne Levesque, James Bates, and Francis Davis. At our first, class meeting we elected James Bates, presidentg Wilma Gale, vice-presidentg Gerald Lafond, secretary, and Solon Colby, treasurer. Gnce again, Miss Stevens was our class advisor. When basketball season arrived, we were proud to have Bill Welch become one of the stars on the var- sity team. At the Austin Memory Prize Spams ing Contest, Joanne Henricksen won first prizeg and at the Original Prize Speaking Oontest Raymond Fife won first prize. At baseball practice the sopho- more class was well represented and worked hard towards the success of the team' After a long-needed summer vaca- tion,we once again entered Pembroke Academy and began our junior year. For officers we elected James Batea as presidentg Stuart Gile, vice- presidentg Glorie Henry, secretaryg and Raymond Fife, treasurer. This year we were welcomed by a new clas advisor,Miss Price, as Miss Stevens had left to accept a position at Laconia High School. In both basketball and baseball we were well represented with the basketball team made up of a large number of juniors. The high scorers were Stuart Gile with 170 points, Raymond Fife with 92 points, and Bill Welch with 90 points, At the Austin Memory Prize immk- ing Contest James Bates won fourth prizeg and at the Original Prize Speaking Contest Elsie Yeaton won first prize.

A very busy vacation whizzed by with many of our classmates helping the war effort,either by working on farms or at some other essential jobs. It seemed incredible that our last year was on us when we entered the halls of P. A. on September 3, 1944. Our class had lost many mem- bers and totaled 29, with Richard McNamara receiving his credits by attending the University of New Hampshire, taking the Agricultural course. Bill Welch had gone into the Navy and Harvey Chaput into the Marines. we were welcomed by one new member--Edwards Ross. Norman Bonenfant' became presi- dents Jeanne Levesque, secretaryg and Raymond Fife, treasurer. Miss Price was again our able and ef- ficient class advisor. On November 4 ballotingfbr state and national candidates took place under the supervisionqf' the scniorsg In the preliminariea before voting, campaigning was carried on in the American, History class and the Economics class. In spite of the vigorous campaign of the Republi- cans the Democrats wen. This yeam'because of the absence of Mr. Jennings, Mr. Beal and Mr. Lewis coached basketball. Those who made the team from the senior class were Charles Williamson, Ray- mond Fife, Stuart Gile, RobertWolls, and James Bates. Norman Bonenfant was manager. Mr. Lewis also coached baseball. On March 13 the American History class made a trip to town meeting and saw democracy in action. On the 14th the same group made a trip to Concord to visit the New Hampshire State Legislature. At the Original Prize Speaking Contest Velma I Munroc wen first prize. Evelyn Knight was chosen the DAR candidate and the runnerrups were Elsie Yeaton and Carolyn Hill- man. In these last few weeks ofschool some of the senior boys have joined their favorite branch of service. Raymond Fife and Francis Davis have joined the Navyg Stanley Grimes has joined the Air Corpsg and Edwards Ross has joined the Marines. We, the Class of 1945, are proud of the record that we have made at Pembroke Academy, and as we leave and pass, asit this institution were,into these troubledand chaotic years of life, we believe whole- heartedly that the training that we have received here will make us better citizens. Our careers may shine' in the honor and glory of P. A., and in the years to come we can look back upon a job well done. lk Ik lk ik lk VALEDI CTORY ESSAY-- BUILDING A BETTER WORLD Evelyn Knight The curtain is now falling on our high school career. Four short years are coming to an end. It seems only yesterday that we were frightened, bewildered freshmen entering the portals of Pembroke Academ . During those past four years we have acquired much knowh ledge and foresight and are new to go out into a world, a world of chaos. we all have an important task to perform, for the world in THE ACADEMIAN which we find ourselves is con- fronted by many social, political, and economic problems. The war in Europeis over, presentingtremendous issues of reconstruction and reha- bilitation of war-torn countries. New homes, churches, schools, com- munities and cities have to be re- built. Furthermore, new manufac- turing industries and agriculture must be established., The period following the fighting is certainly trying. Millions of prisoners of war have to be dealt with: homeless men and women have to be cared for. They have to be educated to have peace and to govern their countries accordingly. Another proposition is that of constructing a permanent peace. There will have to be an interna- tional organization which willmain- tain peace and security by dealing with agression before it breaks in- to war. We are confident that a better world will arise from the San Francisco Conference providing that the major issues which may arise from time to time can be settled through compromise. True, the lesser nations do not apprechme the dominance of the Big Three in the Security Council: but such dif- ficulties can be settled if we all cooperate. Right here in the United States are many queries which drastically need our attention, The question of postwar immigration needs a so- lution. Shall we completely ban out all foreigners? Shall unlimit- ed immigration be permitted? Or shall they be permittedin restrict- ed numbers, such as on the quota basis? This leads to other issues such as peacetime unemployment and racial problems. We as individuals may consider these problems too confusing, but we must remember that we have to live in a world which results from their effective solutions. Al- though some of us plan to take part in reconstruction, the duty ofprlme most 'of us is to importance for attempt to be a worthy, respectable citizens Taking part in the govern- ment may be the duty for some ofus. Nevertheless, all will be required to accept certain responsibilities, take interest in our government and current problems, and vote in elec- tions, However, the best way to build a better world is to build a better self. As Oliver Wendell Holmes says: WBuild thee more stately mansions, 0 my soul, As the swift seasons rolll Leave thy low-vaulted past! Let each new temple, nobler than the last, Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast, Till thou at length art free, Leaving thine outgrown shell by 1 life's unresting sea I Everyone in this class is impor- tant to the world. Each is a unique personality with a rare combination of characteristics, and with a sin- gular opportunity to make a contri- bution to society. No matter what path of life we choose, whether it be business, political, professional, or agricul- tural work,we will never forget the good times at Pembroke Academy. Some of us will continue our education, and others will goto workzmany will enter the Armed Services,but in all events, we will be scattered all over the globe. We, the Class of 1945, are sin- cerely grateful to our headmaster, Mr. Beal, teachers, and the Board of Trustees for making our years at Pembroke Academy very education- al, enjoyable, and worth while. we also wish to thank the class offi- cers for successfully steering us to this day of graduation. I am sure that we will all look back to our days at P. A. with the fondest and most cherished memories. T H E SALu1'A1onv EssAv--OPPORTUNITY Florence Saturley In behalf of the class of 1945, I welcome you to our graduation ex- ercises. 'Seek and you shall findg knock and it shall be openedx unto you. Today -America presents many op- portunities to those whotare ready to advance one step farther in life. Those who are ready to take this step are known as the youths of America. When our youths are ready to take the responsibilities of Lue in handyduw will need patience and fortitude--fortitude to face the facts while they are seeking and patience to endure the tempter whue waiting for the door of success to open. The opportunities awaiting the youths of America are not to be had in every corner of this vast orbit. America's rapid development has and is still helping our youths to make greater advancement over other youths in foreign lands. p The big factor which makes itpns- sible for America to open wide her doors to the young people is Democ- racy. Democracy has stood foragov- ernment by the people and for the people, and has granted freedom of speech,libert3 and justice for all. This liberty has been taken advan- tage of and the result is new scien- tific methods, greater inventions, and a much better world in which to live. Tod:-y American boys and girls may have a college education and, by earnest work, help their careers to take form. A young man of eighteen no longer needs to work in mine! from sunrise to sunset or to spend his time uselessly. Today he may have an education and education to enable him to have a wmlthwhile P!'0f9SSi0T1- An individual with a thorough ed- ucation has an advantage over the agencies of civilization. Every in- fd C A D E N1 I A N V- - .lr ll, , , , dividunl living in a complex world, such as ours, should be able to prof his physical welfare, to children, to secure the necessities, to organize vide for rear his economic for civic action, to engage in rec- and to satisfy their re- reation, ligious cravings. Education enables the individual to comprehend what life requires of him, If he is a robust individua1,he wED.be able to use to the fullest measure his po- tential gifts. Interest in science a clearer understanding of the body the way to work with others,and the straight way of life are engrossed in the mind of the one who has an education. Education, also, gives us an op- portunity to mingle with others, to express our ideas, and to emplqyour- selves advantageously, during the years while we are yet too young to work. To Lincoln, who studied by firelight, education was considered as one of the essential elements in making his youth a complete one. Americans, besides acquiring an education, have an opportunity to make worthy use of their leisure time. The most appropriate way to spend one's leisure time is recrea- tion. The right type of recreation is a morale builder, keeps the body in a good physical condition,, and takes up the mind of youths. To be a recreational leader allows one to see the development of young people's character by fair play and upright sportsmanship. Recreation has built up an isolated world of its own to which one may retire to avoid the tension and monotony of this progressive nation. Other activities one may indulge in in their leisure time are reading,hob- bies, Christian work. A good time is to the healthy body as med- icine is to a sick one. Education and recreation are two great opportunities but there re- mains the third one. The third one T T T ti E A C3 A EJ E M I A N --V --- centered around an omnipotent being, God. In America, we do not have one specific church to whichwweare com- pelled to go, but we may select for ourselves the church whichwe desire to attend. Religion is the funda- mental basisci our standard of liv- ing, To go to church is an oppor- tunity we all may have, Eyfbllowing high moral principles,thereis noth- ing to lose and everything to gain. To trust in God gives us a secure feeling. However,we do not let this trust become strong enoughto delete all fears from everyday life. In our Democracy we have four freedmmx freedom of speech,freedom from want, freedom of religion, and freedom these freedoms from fear. All of man can control to a great extent but fear is a menacing problem. A fear when it little child, meets first sees a cow or any animal. A mother has fear for her children of lurking dangers, fear for his family is lows Not only in who are unaware anda father has when his income these, but in many more incidents fear plays a part. To have a better life, we need steady employment for all and equality'h1the distribution of money and all things. 4 The development of America since the Pilgrims first landed in 1620 has provided work fox thousands of people,and work is one of our major opportunities presented to those who are willing to seek its Work is a dependable basis which keeps the bill collector from the doorn There are many vocations awaiting each one of us. There is salesman- ship, journalism, and professionsf We do not need to wait, however, until we are seventeen to prepare for our life work, but we may pre- pare .for it through avocations, There are many valuable avocations such as photography, art,and music. What more could America offer toadd her youths in acquiringa high stan- dard of living? Last but not least is the oppor- tunity to have good health, Here in America we have organizations made up of' individuals who are studying diseases and administering the best of medical care. If it weren't for our boys and girls who are ,able to become doctors and nurses we would not be able to com- bat diseases, Good health keepsus fit for duty and America needs all of its youths in first-class condition, America's progress in medical work has helped to save the lives of all those who volunteer to maintain our liberty. Ameriedh IQA youths help it to keep on its feet during the troublesome times of war, America should be grateful for its knowledge of san- itary .conditions and the interest men have shown hithe welfare of the people. , These opportunities-.education, recreation, religion, work, and health--make up an abundant life. With these Golden Opportunities in view, may we seek them and at our knock, have the door of a new life open unto us, members of the class of 1945. CLASS ORATION-- THE SECRET TO SUCCESS Velma Munroe Some of the members of the class of forty-five willbe more fortunate than Others. The doors in some lives will be labeled Nwalk In.' Opportunities will be presented to gain further knowledge without hay- ing to work for it. During tests, they may have always been lucky enough to sit across the aisle from the class wizardoriwere good in the sign language.

Several of us may even from run up against revolving doors time to time, but We hope we will all be able to find our way out of them. These revolving doors will represent the times of adversity when we arg out of a job or when we are in a position where there is no chance for promotion or increase in pay. we feel as if we are going round and round without getting anwb where. Let's for the moment wander into the future and see what will become of these members of the class of forty-five who entered different doors in the house of life. Mr. A was a boy who never seemed to study in school but always get good marks. He never knew what it was like for the rest of us to study every night Afor the next day's class and still have to cram the night before a test. Mr. A decided to go on to college and become a doctor, New he has set up practice in his own home town, but he has learned something which he will never forget. In college he found out what we went through in high school. Mr. Zffound that he had to study every day, and that he, too, had to cram the night before a test. He learned that al- though he began his life's journey through the door labeled Hwalk In,u he must pass through the door label- ed nPush,n into the room of greater knowledge before reaching the door of success labeled, nConquest Com- pany, Mr. A, President.n Although Miss B had the ability to do well in school,she never took the time to do more than the bear minimum. All through her high school years she laughed at those who worried about what they would do when they stepped out into the outside world and had to earn their own living. Shrugging hor shoulders would say, 'I'll let fate take she care of that.n Well, fate did take care of it for her but not so Emor- ably as she had anticipated, After graduation Miss B found herself with nothing in particular to do. Just staying at home helphg with the work became very dull and she soon realized that she was get- girl was couldn't ting nowhere in life. This in a nrevolving dooru and find her way out. Striking upon the idea of putting her studies to use, got a job as a bookkeeper. she Gradually she worked her way qainto the position of a privatesecretary. At first, it was hard and she had a lot to learn before becoming an ef- ficient bookkeeper and secretary. She, too, has learned that in order to exit through the door of success instead of the backziley offailure, one must nPushn hard on the door of knowledge. ' Mr. C knew long before he left high school that he wanted to go to college and become a lawyer. Knoww ing from the start that to be a success in the world, it is es- sential that one be able to work for it, he worked hard all through high school to save money enough to pay part of his expenses, and, by working summers, and with what his father could give him to help, he completed the necessary training an now is a prospering young lawyer. As a result, all the doors thatle now enters are labeled WNolcome' and the doors through which he leaves are labeled nThank you, call again.H Through his conscientious- ness, courage, and ambition, he has made for himself a place in the house of good living. lmst of us of the Senior class realize now that knowledge isgained only threhgh hard work, honest ef- fort, and sincere desire to learn, With this knowledge, we are going to prove to the world that we cannot only nPush' but push hard on the door of knowledge, c .gTH,E,, AcAoiEgM.s.AnN,c or p or.Ass wz:.L ' Elsie Yeaton Academy, town of Pembroke, State of New Hampshire, being of sound mind and body, do hereby ascribe all-our worldly goods, tangible and intangi ble, relevant and irrelevant,to our lawful beneficiaries First, we, the Seniors of Pem- broke Academy, wish to leave the faculty our sincere appreciation for their help and guidance through our four years, hoping they will rs member our good points and forget our bad ones.

I heaved a huge sigh and leaned my head against the back of the comfortable old arm chair. I seemed to hear the voice of Sydney Carton faintly and then more clearly as I closed my eyes, beckoning me into the future, and as I opened them again, miraculously, I found myself floating along on a cloud with the voice of Carton still ring- 1ng in my ears ------ Looking around I saw a huge dloud hurrying towards me and of all things there seemed to be something on it--the cloud grew larger and larger as it came nearer,and soon I was able to make out one distinct figure with a long pointed red beard, dressed in some sort of cos- tume resembling kilts and amazingly enough he was ,playing bagpipes, emblazened with the numbers 1960. Before I knew it, the cloud was be- side me and onto my cloud stepped Edwards Ross. Seeing my stunned ex- pression, Eddie hastened to explain that he was the newly elected niather Time'3 When I gathered my senses once more and commented on his novel costume, he replied that people were sick of seeing the same old thing every New Year, and this year they were certainly in for -5 sprprise,as he was just leaving for earth. He said he just couldn't wait to see the lodton their faces, when he marched in at l2:OO midnight but he'd have to hurry now or he'd be late. After Eddie left my little pink cloud, I glanced over the edge just in time to see a skyway policeman coming toward me on his cloudmobile. As he approached, I noticed some- thing familiar about him and whenhe was close enough for me to really judge,I recognized my old classmate Stanley Grimes. Pulling over to the side of my cloud, he asked if I .didnft feel a bit insecure riding around on condensed vapor two miles off the ground and suggested I go back to earth with him. I gladly accepted the offer and getting into the side 'car, we started downward. On the way, he told me that Evelyn Knight was very busy attending to her duties as Dean of Cupcake Col- lege in Hottentot, N. Y.,a position which she had held for the past three yearsg that Mr. and ' Mrs. Stuart Gile, the former Janet Sand- erson, were the proud parents of triplets,and also that Elsie Yeaton was considered the leading Evange- list of the times. While serving in South Africa, Elsie had been responf sible for the conversion of humheds of natives. Reaching earth and vdriving through the streets, we saw huge posters advertising the coming of the Barnum and Bailey Circus and starring our old schoo1mate,Kenneth Fowler,as the world's strongest man. Stanley and I came to the conclusion that Kenneth must have eatenhis fresh produce instead of selling if all on his vegetable route, ' Stanley's radio had stopped blar- ing police chit-chat for a few min- utes and I asked him if he'd mind tuning it in to Breakfast in Hhllyf wood. He located the station and whom did the announcer introduce as the new master of ceremonies but Amedee Gourtemanche! Just then we reached Stanley's police station and I was sorry to miss the rest of the broadcast but it could not be helped. I said thank you ahdugood- byen to Stanley and walked up the street, stopping only long enough to buy a newspaper before sitting down to rest--I had just started to read my paper, when afheavy step on the sidewalk made me lift my eyes in time to see Raymond Fife walk bm Very easily now I was able to ac- count for the many statements made by Stanley regarding the efficiency of the World Wide police force. Returning again to my paper, I c THE ACAOEMIAN ' A , 5 ,rl , saw that the political war between Congresswoman Florence Saturley and Senator William Bhackford,both from New Hampshire, over the question of enlarging the Hooksett, New Hamp- shire Airport, was still going on-- Senator Shackford claimed that BO runways were enough and he thought that the Navy yard should have a few docks instead. The next page had a picture of the British Prime Minis- ter, who had succeeded Anthony Eden, arriving at La Guardia airport. It. was really news, because 'for :the first time in history a woman had been chosen. It was none otherthan Joanne Henricksenl In the latest literary reviews, the works of Richard MacNamara were being considered--in a class by themselves! ' The advertisements gave me some interesting news.

Hearing strains of music, I grew curious as to where they were coming from so I decided H - - Y . 1 J DI 9 - to satisfy my curiosity. A few minutes walk brought me in sight of a large group of people. With an undo amount of pushing and shoving, I approached a band stand. The music stopped, a hush fell over the crowd,and the conductor stepped fore ward to speak. The voice sounded familiar and, pushing forward with a final plunge, I found myself in the front row looking up at Wilma Ga1e,conductor of the Suncook Amer- ican Legion Band, which was now on tour. Wilma. was introducing the guest star of the program, Nbrman Bonenfant,chief tenor of the Metro- politan Opera. After a beautiful rendition of WFigaro' by Mr. Bonen- fant, Conductor Gale again took the stand,this time announcing that the band's drum majorette, Miss Janet Richards,would now lead them to the station where they would board the train and depart for home.

I think we did a gowd job: President, Lore raine Dufordg Vice-president, Sherw burne Chickering: Secretary, Louise Smith: Treasurer, Irene Huggins. As usual we gave the new teachers the old once over and found thatone of them was to now be our class ad- visor, Mr. Vernon Lewis, Glass rings arrived in November and everyone was pleased. As usual, the Glass of '46 took an active part in both prize speaks ing bouts. ' In the memory contest Roger Beal won first prize, with his rendition of the 'Singapore Spider.W In the original prize speaking contest honors were taken by Odelva Lefebvre, David Hayden, and Richard Fowler. The class was also well repre- sented in the school play, NGood Gracious Grandma,n by Virginia Crafts,Lorraine Duford, Roger Beal, and David Hayden. - 'In baseball and basketball, we showed our might and many achieved letters in both. We will always remember the basketball banquet sponsored by the Suncook business- men, Well, I guess that is all for now but wait till next year when we really 'go to town.n David Hayden,'46 1 - + - s - m - m - u - w WE, THE CLASS or '47 'Twas on the day of September eighh The Sophomore Glass was to learn its fate. The meeting was called by a stout- ish gent, Norm Richard,our retiring president. Earl Elsmore was elected to take the head chair, Vice-president, Norman Richard, so round and so fair, Anne Farnum was chosen to take down the happenings, While dear Clayton Higgins takes care of the spendings. When the basketball season rolled 'round once more, ' Elsmore and Paskowski helped run u the score, They played with such vim and also with vigor, Why they didn't tire,we can't quite 'figger.' On the girls' team, we starred through three gals, All good players and excellent pals. Janet Sanderson, Frances Ohroniakg and Marilyn Good Made names for themselves as all Pembroke kids should. In Austin Prize Speaking were two girls and one man, Sophomorus all-G1enne,.Ihilip, and Anne. They spoke and returned to their own home base, I should hate to have been in the Judges' place. In Original Prize Speaking, Arnold Lewis won first. A When Jeanne Bouchard won second, our pride nearly burst, Virginia Huckins and Henry Stevens spoke from our class, And we're glad, I assure you, this ordeal is past. All in all we've had a very fine year, And for our teachers we stand up and cheer, To all of our school-mates, both short and tall, We wish you good summers and 'see you next fall P' Virginia Huckins, '47 , c c g-.. ,T,,H.s. 'ACAQ-DEM-l.AN F- ,cc-c g REPORT or CLASS or 1948 If you had wandered into the of- fice of Fate last September 1, 1944 and chanced to look into her files of the Class of '48 of P. A., you would have read the following record for the year 1944-1945: On September 9, 1944, forty-five freshmen will enter Pembroke Acad- emy. They will be bewildered and noisy but their behavior will im- prove during the year. At their first class meeting they will select Raymond Chaput as Presidentg Donald Sabean,Vice-pres- identg Patricia Yeaton, Secretary: and Dana Yeaton, Treasurer. Fred- erick Whittemore will be the class reporter for the school newspaper. The first important event which they will sponsor will be the Hal- loween Dance. The -gym will be de- corated in a weird fashion and the affair will be a big success. This class is destined to take part in the sports activities of the school also. It will have three girls who play basketball: Shirley Beal, MarhaRose Lavertu, Patricia Yeaton. Although none of the boys will play on the regular team, they will practice and play a victorious game with the grammar school. Don- ald Sabean will represent them in b8.SebEL11o The members of this class who will participate in Austin Prize Speaking will be Judson Sanderson, Patricia Yeaton, and Shirley Beal. Judson, doing a very good job, will walk off with second prize. When Christmas comes around,they will help with the Christmas play. The pupils to do this will be Shir- ley Beal, Marie Allaire, Patricia Yeaton, Fred Whittemore, Mansfield Crafts and Raymond Chaput. The freshmen will be well re- presented in music. Seven of their number will play in the orchestra, three in the special singing group, and many others in the mixed chorus. On June 1 the school will put on its play 'Good Gracious Grandma! in which we shall find two freshmen, Patricia Yeaton and Dana Yeaton. The secretary must be writing up the events of the next three years for they are missing from the files. Alas! If you are curious as to what will be achieved in the ensuing years, return at a later date when perhaps the missing will have been f0ul1do Patricia Yeaton, '48 ,-cffx. -Av vX .f-v..- -, 'F X Q .1 iiilwx gg, 4 ..- 11,1 x Y NN X XTR 1?

Co-captain Wilma Gale was the only girl representing the senior class. She did some wonderful guard- ing and will be a great loss to the team next year. Our outstanding forward, Frances Chroniak, was the only veteran for- ward and again proved her worth. P. A. will still have Frances for two more years. Other girls participating were Co-captain Lorraine, Duford, Irene Huggins, Janet Sanderson, Marilyn Good, Marie Rose Lavertu, Anne Far- num, Odelva Lefebvre, Virginia Sev- erance, Shirley Beal, and Patricia Yeaton. Manager was Jeanne Levesque and Assistant Manager was Virginia Crafts. All of the girls showed greatim- provement throughout the season, through diligent practice and Miss Thomas' able coaching. Our games were enlivened by the cheering section under the leader- ship of William VanderHagean, Bar- bara MacLean, and Glorie Henry. Our school orchestra made its appearmnn at the last game and did its partto arouse school spirit as only music can. On April l2,a banquet was held for the basketball teams of P. A. cheerleaders, coaches, and other helpers. A chicken dinner made pos- sible through the kindness and co- operation of local businessmen and friends of Pembroke, was enjoyed at WEddids Lunch Roomn in West Manchas ter. Toasts were proposed by all those present. Mr. Francis Gerennnty coach and history teacher at West Side High School, was the speaker. Later everyone bowled fourstmngs at the Queen City Bowling Alleys, Prizes were awarded to the highest and lowest scorers.

A. have many happy memories to take with them. This year's team played a six- teen-game schedule and came out on top in ten of them. The most ex- citing game and best played was the Pinkerton game at P. A. on February 9. Before a full house of yelling spectators, young and old, P. A. went down to a 43-50 loss because of a last-period drive by the nRed and Whiten from Derry. At half time Pinkerton led 18-173 at the end of the third quarter, the score was 29-26. All who attended agreed they got their money's worth. The game was fast with plenty of good clean basketball. The closest finish was the rough and tumble game in the exchange hall at Penacook. QAfter the game, one P. A. fan was heard to remark, nJust what did they exchange it for?nl A last minute basket by our b e .I,H.E 4 seas, or E Mg1-.A,N g V g by southern giant, Earl Elsmore, won the game for us. After this beat, Coach-Lewis agreed that the South won the Civil War, The interesting events and facts that those on the team will never forget are: Sherb Ghickering's scoring at Pittsfield--28 points in one night! The team's worst injury--Captain Fife's swollen and discolored leg that resulted from a collision in practice. Everyone who saw it knew why he was out of a few games. what a shame to have it happen to such nice legs! The fight with the Baby Talcum in the shower room. Remember how Dave Hayden broke his glasses? You probably noticed that Sherb was still the last one out of the shower room even if he did have a young lady waiting outside. No one ever found out why it took Earl Elsmore so long to get an auto- mobile Jack at the farmhouse on the way to Hillsboro. We also wonder if he ever went back. Those who rode with Mr. Lewis know why they always got therefirsh but safely, I must add. Norman Bonenfant learned the hard way that there is a stop sign 'at the end of the Academy Road. Ifi you want to go,to Goffstown, don't ask Roger Beal the way! shouted, UFife, that stop sign remarked, Uwe spree Remember when we you didn't stop for back there.n Fife haven't room for-it in here anywayln how long did it Mr. Lewis, just take to air out your car after the return trip from Hillsboro? The season was topped off with a banquet and bowling in Manchester. Mr. Geramonty of West High in Man- chester was speaker. We wish to thank the business men of Suncook who made this trip possible. Iherya one had a wonderful time and came home happy and glad that he went. We must add this bit of advice. Hank, when in a bowling alley. the object is to knock dgwn the pins. Sp ends another successful year of basketball at P. A. Captain Fife, Stuart Gile, Charles William- son, Bob Wells, Jim Bates and Nor- man Bonenfant wish the next year's team the best of luck and a success ful season.

Saturday, June 2, was one of those days--a lucky day for l7'base- ball players, their managers and coach, and the person penning theseo lines. Through the very thoughtful and praiseworthy efforts of Mr. C. H. Wells and Mr. Hascall Stimson,a su of money was raised and on Friday morning,June 1,1 was presented with 17 admissionsto the Red SoneDetroit baseball game,round-trip tickets on the train from Manchester, and enough money for subway fare and two meals for each boy. Several card games were started on board the train and hearts and clubs were wrfted in the air in wild confusion until the Bonductor shout- ed WNorth Station.N Then it was a scramble to find belongings and de- cide on the best places to eat, We reassembled at 12345 to discuss the various menus and meet Miss Ruth Lewisfshe had come into the city to meet us and help her brother cele- brate his birthdaylo From then on it was a personally conducted tour with Miss Lewis leading the waydown into the earth and up over the land to Kenmore Station and Fenway Park.

After the game, the boys divided into groups and went to different eating places and a movie, Then all met again at 8:30 and boarded the 8:50 train for home. Several had bought circus hats and canes and the atmosphere was just right for singing, so our special car and at times the whole train 'was treated to the' song hits of Mr. Lewis' recent Minstrel Show, They were joined by the Navy with some tremuf lous voices and the Army which sup- plied a harmonica-playing sargeant, recently discharged from the Paciic Area. Stories were swapped, ques- tions asked and answered, and when the Army and Navy couldn't agree, our boys just sang the Marine Song to show their impartiality.

He gave his life so we could enjoy everlasting peace. Roosevelt's political career be- gan early, for he served New York State as senator prior to the first World War. An ardent supporter of Woodrow Wilson in the election of 1912, he was rewarded by being appointed Assistant Secretary of the Navy. In the election of 1928, he was a firm backer of Alfred E. Smith who helped him in the early days of his career, and in that same year he, Roosevelt, became Governor of New York serving two terms. During the period 1932-1945 Roosevelt was elected ,for the office of president of the United States four times, defeating four Repub- lican candidates--Hoover, Landon, Wilkie, and Deweyw-in the national elections. Throughout his years of public service he accomplished much for this country. His efforts have been criticized by many, but we must admit that he did form or- ganizations for the unemployed. He also saved the banks of the nation, and it was he who lifted the country out of the chaos of the depression. On December 7, 1941, the Japa- nese attacked Pearl Harbor, and with the beginning of the war our president took on the tremendous task that eventually brought on his collapse. In the trying days of 1942 and 1943 F. D. R. exerted him- self to the utmost to bring about the necessary change from peace to war. On many occasions he met with the leaders of the other allied powers, and was one of the nbig three.n During the last few months of his life it was evident that the president was weakening under the strain of war, After twelve years as head of the most powerful nation on earth, he finally gave in under the burden that he was carrying and died on that fateful April afternoon. His first and last desire was for the welfare of the people and nation. In the trying days ahead may we ever be mindful of the un- spoken words taken from his ad- dress to have been delivered on April 13, 1945, WLet us move fore ward with strong and active faith.V Frederick Whittemore, '48 3 - Q -I l - l - U How THE WAR AFFECTS THE MlND- v or THE HIGH ScHooL STUDENT Amid these chaotic times of agres- sion, corruption, and destruction, the entire world is conscious of physical and mental changes that must be made to cope with the re- .quirements of a world at war. Of these people, it is the high school student to whom the greatest confidence and help must be given, for they are to be 'the world of to- morrow,W Since that immortal day,Deo8mber 7, l941,the high school student has become aware of the burden laidqaon his shoulders during these times of international conflict. Many are unaware of the services the high school student is rendering his country. These boys and girls know that many positions are vacant because men are leaving to enterthe Armed Services. They know that the fighting front cannot endure without the home front and are eager to lnlp. Some work in stores and many in factories, under part-time-employe ment, producing the implements of war which their fathers and brothers fighting in the four corners of the world need.

' During harvest period when our nfood-soldiers' inform us of the need of farm help to harvest the season's crop, many students abandon their vacation plans to work on some farm to feed our servicemen and people. Then, too, school enrollments have declined because of students not waiting to graduate to help their country,but leaving for the service when of age. They didn't go because the right of killing, shedding blood, andlcaving their' homes and parents were pleasing nor because they enjoyed being at death's door. They knew their country needed them to fight for freedom and democracy. During the past two years, Pem- broke Academy has lost nine of its under classmen and eighteen of the graduates to the services. This is a small town and is only and exanqme of what is happening on a large scale in larger communities. Many people regard the high school student as a nonchalant,care- free, and unforseeing individual. Actually,the high school student of today is as conscious of the warand his responsibilities now and in our future peace as is anyone. Although he seems somewhat carefree and eIUy at times, remember that he is will- ing and eager to do his duty for this, our country. They've fought from the beaches of Normandy to the Gates of Berlin and from the Island of Guadalcanal to the volcanic ash of the Idandof Iwo Jima because the youth of today believes that freedom can only be realized in a country where Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happi- ness are the rights of every indi- vidual. William VanderHaegen, '46 .It is extremely arduous, in such tempestuous, heart-rending times,to grasp in even a small way, the deep significance and full meaning of Thanksgiving--yet there is much to be thankful for. True, sorrow, heartbreak, and intense pain have been forced on some of us and cer- tainly numerous minor inconveniences affect all of us. Nevertheless, we are blessed with many tangible and intangible riches for which we should be deeply grateful. America is a land of plenty a land of opportunity,a free country. We have been spared the bloody hor- rors of the dark days that come to an invaded country. We can sit down to a hearty meal with a clear con- science and go to sleep at night when the day's work is done, confi- dent that when morning comes wevull still be alive and our homes intact. We are spared many types of fear. We can think what we please, say what we vish,and assemble as we see fit. We are entitled to freedom of religion, and freedom of enterprise. Moreover, education is deemed very necessary and important. These are only a few of the many blessingsbe- stowed upon us. Truly there iS much for which to be thankful.

'My muscles began to relax but I still felt faint. I gasped for a breath of air and then,as if the earth was going to slap me in the face, I was on my way to what I thought must be the end! I could no longer open my eyes, it seemed to be beyond my strength to chal- lenge such a test of endurance. I don't dare say how long it was, but then everything stopped. Open- ing my eyes I saw a little man com- ing towards me. With a .conquering look on my face, I reached into my pocket and handed him a dime. Slowly we began to move and I turned around in my seat and yelled 'Shoot the works this time.N I went for my second ride on a -roller- coaster. . Raymond Fife, '45 1'-Vu - 1 - m - e Tu-as IMPORTANCE or Gzomsrnv Geometry is a branch of mathemat- ics which deals with the properties of lines, angles, surfaces, and so- 116.50 History will tell you the study of geometry began long years before the study of algebra, Geometry was even used by the Paleolithic man to decorate his pottery with circles and triangles. Later he used cones, hemispheres, and rectangles for the shape of his home. ,It was in the Nile Valley ad- vanced geometry originated, The Egyptians used geometry in their giant surveys and building enter- prises, and also used geometric fha- ures long before the Christian era. They needed a knowledge of geometry to find areas and volumes, to lay out right angles for the corners of their fields, and tc' b ild their houses. Thus we see early man used geometry for practical as well as ornamental purposes. About twenty-five hundred years ago the Greeks began to study geom- etry in a scientific manner. They were not satisfied untH.they proved a thing beyond a doubt. Thi! is.how they differed from the Egyptians. They used geometry as a method of thoughtful thinking. This is why Plato, a Grecian mathematician, put over the door of his school,uLet no one unacquainted with geometry enter here.n Today geometry is a developed acn- ence, far advanced, but still based on the basic principles on which it was established.

The country is clean, sweet-smelling, healthier. You may look out of your windows And see the blue sky overhead star-studded, The mountains looming, scolloping the horizon. Think how quiet it is, how calm and peaceful. The city is noisy, dirty, unhealthy. The country is better than the city by farP' But in spite of all, I still persist in loving it. They do not know. They cannot understand. It is a part of everyone who has lived there. Yes, I love it, every bit. The smells: early morning coffee: bakeries: Steam snaking asphyxiatingly from mains: The dank smell after rain: the salt sea breeze: Fish piers: fresh country produce: The hot, dark smell of tar: the oppressive blanket of heat All mixed together and served at once Are all the smells I love. The noises: subway trains screaming, grinding Around the curves: taxis careening: Cars honking: newsboys crying: porters calling: Whistles blowing: all I love. And last come the particular things: The river glistening--smooth, stormy, caps dancing: Gulls swooping, or riding comfortably on the swell: Ships unloading or standing down the river out to sea. The Empire State dome shining when The su penetrates the heat mist and gilds it: Cars rumbling on the cobbles of West Street: Fresh country produce lining the walk to Chambers: Parks in the spring: theatre crowds: Shopping: loitering before huge store windows: The Palisades topped with the green of trees: The George Washington Bridge: The lights--white pearls on the neck of the river: Figaro--furs, jewels, and white kid gloves, Lights dimming, the orchestra tuning, and Pinza: Sidewalk cafes: Italian pizzias: smorgesbords. All? No, not all. There is more, But it is far too much to say: it must be remembered. They don't understand. They can't. Once you love it you can go away, But you can't take your heart with you. That remains buried under the sidewalks of New York. Joanne Henricksen, '45 LH1: A o Agp em ,slogan MY BEST FRIEND A friend in need, Is a friend indeed, A friend in sorrow, You can never borrow.
