The record that they leave? Fow much have they accomplished in the months that now are gone? they deserve the grace of God to live and carry on? .ou many errors hove they mode? Kow often have they foiled? ..cv nuiierous the selfish v alls that they have never scaled? Let them be sorry for their mistakes and in their earthly strife. Let them implore Almighty God for one more year of life. And let them promise once again to live and carry on. That they may gain the glory of His great eternity. —Betty Barnes '£8 CHRISTMAS SHOPPING TiiCy have Christmas clubs in the banks that people can join and pay hi.00 a week until Christmas. You don't hove to worry about what youfc) going to buy all the children, relatives, and parents presents with, because you've saved some money. I wouldn t wait until the last minute when there's a lorre crowd of peopl. to fight your way through. I'd buy my presents the first of October or November when the prices aren't so high, r wouldn't buy everyone expensive presents that were useless but something people could use. People that live for away and were friends of mine, I would send a Christmas card with a handkerchief in it. Don t you think if Is ttfise to do your Christmas shopping early? --Joyce Annis 57 PEMBROKE There's a town down east I love. It's like that Paradies above, In the summer, Pembroke's fresh and green, A prettier place is never seen In autumn, all Mother Nature's colors appear, And later men come to hunt the deer. In winter, Pembroke's a fairyland of white Made beautiful by the snow so bright. Next comes spring, the best season of all. Its beauty in Pembroke awes big and small. So all the year through, please remember Pembroke's wonderful in May or December. —Sara Jo Crowley 56 THE VALUE OP NEWSPAPER HABITS Many younger people today do not take time to read the newspaper.- They should because they are future citizens of tomorrow. rTie world needs them and their knowledge. They should know what is going on in the world and where they live. In school they can take part in the conversations in their classes. ■ When they are out for social events, they can talk with anyone if they know about the subject. There aren’t many other dependable ways to learn about the world except by newspapers. These are usually found in every home. Why not make use of them? —Mary Small 56 THE NEED FOR PRESERVING THE WILDLIFE OF MAINE Some forms of wildlife in Maine are almost extinct and other forms are steadily decreasing. The carelessness and cruelty of the people are bringing about this problem. By carelessness, I mean the needless forest fires and setting traps when there isn't any need of it. By cruelty, I mean the men (and sometimes it’s the women, too) who go out anytime of the year an any place to hunt and kill these animals and leave them in the fields or wherever they’re killed. Some poor people somewhero in the world are starving to death for want of food. They could use this food. Some of these birds and animals help decrease the hazards of insects and harmful rodents. Don’t you want to helD Maine and its parks to have more and better wildlife! —Jane Flower 56 PREJUDICES The world is made up of many religions, nationalities, and races. Many people think that theirs is the only perfect one in the world. All of them have contributed something important to the world at one time or another' Maybe their skin is a different color and their features are different, but this does not mean they aren’t important. A person who insults another one’s religion or race is not being faithful or living by his own. One should mske friends with people in all groups; he may have some very interesting friendships. —Mary Small ’56 LIFE AUTUMN WOODS I rr.i the captain of my ship, r,m always at the wheel; I try to land in safety, And keep rn even keel, I am the master of my fate My path is guided now; E everything I've ever done, • hy it was done, and how. If I'm the captain of my ship, And master of my fate, Then will the good lord up above. Let me in the gate2 —James Rice '55 OUR FRVSHM N YEAR OF SCHOOL Through the woods in autumn, Listening to the breeze, Hoping for the . ight, Between the colored trees, Of a buck or doe, or even A partridge or a pheasant. Sometimes we are not lucky. But even than twas pleasant. Think of that tuck or doe. That partridge or pheasant, Remember thst they're still there. Living happily at present, Eut maybe the next time. Some sort of game. Will cross your line, —Charles Clarke 58 During this year of school. We have got a lot of work done. But also had some fun. We have passed our tests (We failed in a few' We will try to do Better our next year of school, --Norma Lund '58 PEMBROKE HIGH SCHOOL The The sun comes up in the morning, town is solemn and still; The pupils go up to the high school. Which stands upon the hill,. TO THE SENIORS Here's to the seniors of P,H,S. We all think you are lucky. And that you have done your best. When September 55 comes. The school won't seem the same, I©cause when the teacher calls, She won't be calling your name, For you will be at college Or perhaps at Notre Dame, —Barbara Putney 57 A WINTER NIGHT They greet their friends and teachers. They get their lessons done; Then comes time when school is out. And the long, long day is done. They have, of each day, many mem'ries. Some pleasant, some happy, some sad; Some dream of the new day tomorrow. Some dream of the old day they've had. This story should have a moral. So, perhaps, this one will do; No matter how much you hate learning, It isn’t the school, it's YOU. --James Rice 55 The winter night was cold; The moon on the show looked like pale gold. The boys with their sleds on the frozen ground. Sang songs of merriment as on their sleds abound. The moon and stars from their lofty height. Looked down on t he earth with great delight, God in heaven, as everyone knows. Loves to see children play in the snow. —Norma Lund 58 A MAN FOR THE AGES SQUEAKY Life has gone on, Through ell of its stages; Now Lincoln is A man for the ages. A symbol of courage, He lies in his grave; One could not discourage, The love that he gave. Born in Kentucky, In eighteen-o-nine; He; os a speaker, Became very fine, lie ran for the senate, To Douglas he lost; Said Abe to himself I will not be bossed. He became our leader, Number sixteen; With men of all kinds, Our hero was seen. With Douglas and Johnson, With Sherman and Grant; His motto, I can , And never, I can’t . His address was immortal. His leadership, great; His truth, always shining; His form, tall and straight. His sympathy, tender; His courage, still strong; So I am writing. To praise him in song. He was shot on Good Friday, Frou this might we learn; That he like the ITaster, Will some day return? Now open your textbook. And thumb through the pages; There you’ll road about, A man for the ages. —James Rice ’55 There was a mouse named Squeaky She said the roof was leaky. She ran up the ladder; The cat made it sadder. That was the end of peer Squeaky . --Barbera Putney ’57 ONCE TO EVERY NATION A man, his name was Lincoln, A great leader, good and true; Now drink a toast to Honest Abe , Abe Lincoln, here’s to you. —James Rice ’55 WINTER WONDERLAND The sleigh is pulled Along the snowy white road, By the poor horses On this day so cold. Women wearing fur coats. Men wearing their long-Johns Children in new ski-suits And choirs singing their song. Winter does not last long. But OH I What fun it is though} How we like the silvery moon And others do we know. —Jane Flower 56 THE MOON At night when you ore walking Down a dark and lonely road. It seems so good to be able to look up And see the shining moon. At times you think it will explode. --Jeane Farries 5$ Once to every nation, Comes a man so brave; A man who’s open-minded. Who hides not in a cave. : STRANGE ANIMALS PEMBROKE HIGH SCHOOL •Jove you ever seen a platypus? 'es, it's a funny looking creature. It has a bill like a duck, A tail like a beaver. And swims like a fish. Now don’t you wish. You could 3oe something funny like this Or maybe an arraidillo, That looks like it’s dressed in armour. And can curl up in a ball. But you probably won’t believe this at ’ ion I tell you they’re only six inches —Joyce Annis 57 ’LEATHER In Pembroke High School There are teachers, only four Mr. Grund with his trumpet, Mrs. Munson has English . Miss Tripp has a class. Only two times four, ? Mr Blackwood has science, A little biology, too. Take them all in all There is quite a lot to do. all, —Jeane Parries 58 tall. HAPPY STARS It won t be long ’till snow flies. And winter is over all; And the countryside in cold lies. Then, is heard the call; P’rorn farmer in the country. From banker in the town; Well, ’twill soon be summer. When we lay cold weather down. —James Rice 55 WINTER I’d like to p! ay among the-stars. And while the;1 twinkle bright, I d hide behind the yellow moon And keep right out of sight. I d twinkle like the stars And play at hide and seek, And when a dark cloud comes along, Over the top I� d pook. . —Carolyn Cushing 58 THE SNOW Winter is now on its way. The leaves are falling every day, The nice green grass is turning brown; The signs of winter are all around. U1 the farmers have harvested their crops. In hopes thst this year they 11 be tops,-The animals coats ore thick and warm. While everyone sings the winter song —Mary Small 56 The snow flakes are falling down, All around the town. The flakes whirl around like a top. But I am afraid it will never stop. —Harry Mills 58 GULLS ooft and pretty white gulls come here each day. Hoping to find a little crumb someone left ,at play i.-own the;; come so easily scanning the ground all over, I oping to find a little crumb that was a left over. When they have found one, up they go. Cheerfully on their way, skimming the ground for more crumbs day after day. -Helen Cox 57 SCHOOL There are too mcny people who fo to school to have fun Instead of getting what knowledge they can from it. Some people lust go to school for something to do and not to learn anything. They think they know almost everythin there is to know. Many parents have different opinions about their children1s education. Some think if a child does not get good grades and doesn't want to go to school, he should not be made to gOj Others think that a child should not leave school until he has his diploma or until ho is eighteen years of age. If a child leaves school before he is eighteen, he is not old enough to get a job, unless he is at least sixteen years of age. Many times one has to have a dirlomr before ho can get a job, so it is best to go to school until you have a diploma. --Doris Clark f$7 RICH OVER NIGHT Did you ever hoar of n farmer's becoming rich over night? Well, this farmer, Mr. Adams, didj He had a wife and five children. He was always working in his garden, which was his life's work, or for someone else who would pay him a few dollars a day. One day the last of July, when Mr. Adams was working in his garden, he happened to walk over to a small stream of water which flowed down from his other field. He was very much surprised to see something black on top of the water. He stooped down and put some on his fingers.. He jumped up, started shouting, and running toward the house. Hi3 wife, thinking he had been hurt, dropped the churn, 1 ' ir.g all the cream on the floor end started running toward door. Just ns she reached the door, it flew open, throwing her into the clothes basket. In rushed Mr. Adams. He was so excited at what he had found, he never noticed •’he was in the clothes basket. Ho began talking fast. Mrs. dams had to climb out of the basket and tell Mr. Adams to calm wn Afterwards he told her he had found oil on top of the stream that flowed down from his other field. The next day they found out for sure that it was real oil and a lot of it. They are all very happy now. —Joyce Annis 57 THE GRADUATING CLASS Three boys and three girls This coming Juno, With their sad parting Will be leaving us soon. --Jeane Parries 58 THE UNKNOWN CRY WINTER In the stillness of the room Comes a cry from hearts unknown} Tis like the darkness of the tomb When is heard a dead man's groan You listen hard for you must know. The meaning of the unknown cry} maybe you will rise and go. To find out the reason why Lo, a heart in silence noW Resting in eternal peace; And you begin to wonder how. The heart did cry and then did cease, 'bod's will be done, Speak you alone; Ke is the one, Who rules each home. —James Rice '55 THE SENIOR CLASS Winter is upon us, The snow is on the ground; The cold north wind is blowing. And then again it’s snowing. And the children running 'round We stay beside the fire. Where it is good a id warm; We listen to the snowing, And the raining and the blowing !Tis the fury of the storm. We hear the Christmas story, And sing the Christmas songs; We give our gifts to others. To our fathers and our mothers. Then New Year's, we right our wrongs• —James Rice '55 In June the senior class will be leaving. Although we regret to see them go. We wish them all the luck in the future, Because through their striving to success. They were willing to do their best. As we all know. —Carolyn Cushing � 58 WINTER It's fun to see the snowflakes. Dancing in the breeze. Making blankets for the earth, And coverlets for trees. —Doris Clark 57 WHAT WE DO WITH WHAT WE HAVE In any small town, people can seem to find something to do all year round. Take for instance, my own home town. There does not seem to be anything to do but everyone keeps busy. In the summer, the sardine factory opens as soon os the fish start running. After the fish stop running, the women do tneir housocleaning and then make wreaths for the Christmas season. While the women are making wreaths, the men are cutting and shipping Christmas trees. After the Christmas season there is a lull in the women's work, but the men continue, cutting pulpwood. Thus towns that appear to be without work are often busy towns. • --Shirley Bulmer 57 very P.

Louise, (looking at the window display): They're two something here. Sally, (inside the small storo): Two by nothing if you ask me. Wo v ere traveling home on the bus and looking at the cemetery by the side of the road. James: There's a place all dug for you in there, Solly. Man sitting behind him: Yes, everyone's dying to got in there. Woman on the Greyhound Scenicruisor from New York to Boston: It's so hot I know I'm going to die. Driver, turn off tho heat, I'm dying. James: Do you want me to call a doctor or wait and got an under- taker, Ma'am? A four-yoor-old girl beside Sally and Louise on the bus song to the tune of DAVY CROCKETT : I wish I hod a funny book, a funny book. A funny book I wish I had. After an hour of this, 3olly finally gave her a funny book but then the driver turned out the lights The girl called the driver names nnd said she'd never read a funny book again. We were all into Mecy's shopping and James was carrying a paper bag containing an organdy apron. Jokingly, ho hit Sally on the hoad with it. A man came up to him and said, You know you could kill someone that way. The above prove that people hear and see funny things when they travel. ::-;wh iHHfr; HHHKttH :h; HH ALUMNI ;hhbh «hh;• s-jhk:- - Doneld Ashby Shelc’on Bishop £hir?.oy Bishop Audrey Carter Pauline Carter Robert Clarke Lorraine Frost Neil Lund Robert McGlsu.flin Charlotte Mills Rita Morgan Newell Rose Marguerite • Sm.il h Class of 1950 Lubec, Maine U.
