With Mr. McLellan, as princip-al, Mrs. Henry Wass, English, and Mrs. Wesley Carroll, Commercial, we started our high school life. Three happy years passed under the supervision and kindly interest of these teachers. ik SK if We regret that the well-loved teachers of our first three years retired from their positions .at Pemetic High to take up the duties of forming new homes. We are, however, very glad to Welcome Miss Shir- ley Sweeney, English, Miss Esther Moore, Commercial, and Mr. Ralph Long, as- sistant, in their places. We have only had a year to get acquainted with them, but we 'feel it is due to the addition of an extra teacher to the staff that so many activities have been begun in the school. We are sure that by their co- operation and underslta'nding of our problems this year, our difficulties have been greatly lessened. 14' Sk SF For the first time in the life of Pemetic High Sch0O1, a School band has been or- ganized. Under the leadership of Mr. Long, and with the help of Mr. Sim Marshall, Mr. Fred Mayo, and Mr. Harry Bennett, the band has steadily progressed, and we feel that with ample support back of it, this band will be a permanent organization and one that will be a source of great pride to Pemevtic High School. :lf Pk ak Through the efforts of the Program Committee this year, we have been able to .secure most interesting speakers. Our pupils consider these addresses to be of great value and appreciate greatly the ef- fort and trouble our townspeople and others take in adding to our development. P14 ik Pk We hope that the townspeople of Tre- mont will understand tha.t the pupils of P. H. S. appreciate the contributions of that town toward the successes that we enjoy in our school. In our sports as well as in scholastic activities, its pupils take a very active and leading part and add their full share to our school life. --M. Bickford, '35 Editor-in-Chief.

Anyway, We hope you will stick to one beau in the future, Mil, 14 PEMETIC iiitrrarg ORPHANNS AT' CHRISTMAS It was a cold dreary ,day in December. The sky was full of black heavy clouds, which told of a visit coming from snow sprites. The wind blew sharply from the northeast and the pedestrians held their coats a little closer and hurried along the .street seeking shelter in homes and stores. Jack was hurrying along with no desti- nation in mind, because he had no place to call home. He went to the door of several houses but they looked cold and unfriendly. Tears streamed down his cheeks as he faced the sharp wind. He decided to go to a back door of some store and get shelter from the snow, which wa.s by now sifting slowly down upon the frozen brown earth. Billy, another poor fellow, was absently walking along a back alley. He was an orphan who had been left to shift for him- in the warm self. This was easy to do summer months when he could sleep un- der the stars at night and get food in the rich people's back yards. He wandered to a back door, but that also was cold and forlorn. It was the home where he had once lived. He went -to the same back porch that Jack was sitting on. The two little orphans sat and talked be- tween shivers. They told each other their history and decided to hang together. With Christmas only two days away they had nothing to which to look for- ward. They had very little to give each other for a Christmas present, but each went a different way, in search of some- thing for this purpose, with an agreement to meet at this back door at dusk. They would spend the night together. At dark they returned with nothing but a little food in their stomachs. The next day there was about a foot of snow on 'the ground. This was to help only one person, that being Santa Claus. They spent the day .searching for food. With empty stomachs they returned to the back porch to spend Christmas Eve. At midnight, Santa Claus, on his Way rto the home of a rich little girl, saw two lit- tle brown dogs sleeping in the cold. As he turned the light on them they awak- ened. He patted them for a second and then went on. After he had driven his team a mile, he stopped in front of a large, wealthy-looking house. He descended the chimney and found a note pinned on stockings. Two little girls wanted a dog. Poor Santa for a minute was discouragedg suddenly his jolly little face was lighted with smiles. He climbed the chimney and hurried to his sleigh. He would drive back and get those two cold little dogs. As he drew the robes over his feet he felt something warm against his gloved hand. He turned the light under the robe and saw the two little dogs sleeping warmly. Little did they know what they had done for themselves. Santa Claus took them under his coat and went inside. A little mat was placed under each stocking, and the dogs were placed on them. The next morning two little girls hugged two delighted w.arm dogs. One had a red bow on a new collar, and the other had a green bow on a new collar. PEM Their names were changed immediately, Jack and Billy being well enough for or- dinary orphan dogs, but hardly fitting for canines of Etheir position. John Mont- morency Collie and Maximilian Marma- duke Mutt gave the final touch to their new-found niche in life. -N. Beal, '35. WHEN WESTY WENT TO WAR. Westy King and his cousin, Dan Win- ters, lived with their grandparents. Both dearly loved the old couple but when any argument arose Westy was always for his grandfather while Dan was for the female side of the house. Their grandfather, otherwise known as Pop, had fought for the North in the Civil War and their grandmother was a southern lady. On this day a fierce battle was being waged between the 'two boys in the back yard. The Stars and Stripes were wav- ing above the ramparts of dry goods boxes behind which Westy was crouching, and an old Confederate flag, which usually hung over the bed, crossing staffs with the Stars and Stripes, waved over the ram- parts, old apple barrels, behind which Dan was planning his next move. He decided that a heavy barrage would be the most effective on that Yankee fort across the yand. In this barrage he would use his which were good-sized was looking through a of his boxes when the Now, Westy was getting heaviest shells potatoes. Westy knot-hole in one barrage started. short of ammunition but he decided to give Dan as good as he sent. So thinking, he opened up. Potatoes flew thick and fast for a few minutes from both sides until each had fired all his ammunition but one shell. Westyls last shell was a large rotten apple, Dan's was one of his grandmothers choice sweet potatoes. Westy, peeping ETIC 15 through his knot-hole, saw Dan watching between two barrels and taking a very de- liberate aim hurled the apple. There was a loud splash as the rotted, juicy pulp struck Dan fair between the eyes. With- out stopping to wipe the apple from his eyes Dan threw his potato. It flew high and wild, going straight through his grandrnotherls parlor window. Grandmother and grandfather came hurrying out of the house. Knowing their grandchildren as they did it wasn't neces- sary to ask questions. The old veteran thought he knew a remedy that would cure them of fighting. He court-martialled them to thirty-six hours in the woodshed, which served as guard house, on a diet of hardtack and water. During their confinement the boys ide- cided th.at wans did nort pay, even play ones, and they edecided to reason out the Questions in the future instead of fight- ing. -Everett Leighton, '35. ERIC Eric was my pet newt. He lived in a large aquarium with .seven goldfish, two snail.s, and a clam. Eric did not mind the snails and the clam because they were peaceable fellows, but he felt that his dig- nity was wounded when he was forced to associate with the goldfish, and especially when he came -into contact with that ugly, black, telescope fish with the bulging eyes. Formerly, he had been accustomed to climb from the water upon a hyacinth plant which floated on the surface. How- ever, he had abused the plant so much by this usage that he had cooked his own goose. Soon the plant had died. Then he no longer had a delightful green throne. I thought it a shame that the poor little fellow couldn't indulge in this 16 PEMETIC favorite sport of his, so I found a Hat, :Square piece of cork and put it in the aquarium so that Eric could air himself as often as he liked. One day Eric felt rather adventurous. He crawled out upon the cork and, from that elevated position, Went over the side of the tank. Then. he set out to investi- gate the outside world. It is needless to ,Say that I was terribly Worried when I made the discovery that he Was missing. I hunted for two hours 'for the little fel- low, scarcely daring to step for fear of crushing him. I got down on my hands and knees and went over every inch of the dining room with my hands. It wa.s nec- essary to do this, for he was so small that I couldn't possibly have seen him. Still no results. Finally, when I was about to give up the search' I found him in the far corner of the living room. Eric was a for- lorn looking little creature. He was quite shriveled from being out off the water so long. However, when I picked him up he moved. I put him back into the aquarium but the water seemed to paralyze him. He lay on his back in a sort of stupor. I thought that as long as he was going 'to die anyway, I might at least be con- siderate enough to let him live his last mo- ments outside of the aquarium away from the goldfish whom he despised. There- fore, I put him 'in a little round dish. For a long time he did not move, so I made all possible preparations for his funeral. Just as I was about to bury him, he raised his little hand as much as to say, Forbear.', It was approximately an hour later that I again looked at Eric. This time he was .as lively as any monkey and, inwdeed, he had played quite a monkeyshine on me. It suffices to say that I put him back in his own quarters. But that was by no means the end of Eric's escapade. Several day.s later I glanced into the aquarium, and what should I see but his ghost! It was a gray- ish white color and I knew it belonged to him because I could see his arms and mouth and tail as plainly as could be. But, no! I was mistaken. There was Eric swimming about. The only remaining solution was that he must have literally jumped out of his skin. I wagged my head slowly at him. Q Eric, yo-u have been a newty little boy. --C. Clement, '35 HOW WE GET TIDAL WAVES Nearly everyone has seen Waves. I dontt mean a wave of the hand, or in the hair. but waves on the water. There are, however, really only a few persons who know the true cause of the things run- ning over the sea. Lobsters are at the bottom of all waves, large or small. Maybe some of you have noticed the two long feelers that protrude from the head of lobsters, be they male or female. These feelers are really the antennae of the libsters. As they have no other means of communication with their fellow lobsters they must send out waves through the-ir an- tennae. They have both short and long waves. This is seen from the fact that the left antenna is somewhat shorter than the right. When a party of lobsters get together they stir up such a conversation that the sea gets quite Uchoppyf' A few years ago there was a great tidal wave in our vicinity. The greatest force of it struck Abel's Lobster Pound at Duck Cove. Mr. Abel stated that his lobsters had been very uneasy during that week. With this information and the knowledge that they hand already accumulated about PEM lobsters, they decided that the Wave was caused by a lobster, in some other ocean, sending a message of great importance to the lobstens at the pound. -B. C. S., '35. ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING In my study of English Literature, the feminine character which most appeals to me is Elizabeth Barrett. Perhaps it is be- cause of the romantic story of her life, or maybe it is because of my admiration for her unquenchable spirit. Elizabeth Barrett was born in 1806. In her early years, when she was an, invalid, she wrote several poems of childhood. Later, becoming interested in .social re- form, she wrote some books, among which was one protesting against child labor. Robert Browning, becoming interested in Miss Barrettks writings, contrived some- how to make her acquaintance. They soon found that they were meant for each other. Elizabethhs father, a tyrannical sort off person, commanded -her to stay in her room and expected her to die properly there. However, this was not in Robert Browning's scheme of living. The old adage is: When the cat's away, the mice will play, so, while Mr. Barrett was away making arrangements 'to move his daugh- ter out into the country, Miss Barrett im- proved her time in learning once more to Walk. Soon, due to her new ,and happy environment, she was able to enjoy life as any normal person might. Nevertheless, she was still ia little weak physically. But things couldn't go on like this forever. So, one day Mr. Barrett returned. Of course, Elizabeth was delighted to see him again and enthusiastically asked him if he ETIC 17 was not pleased that she had improved so Wonderfully. Her parent gave her no an- swer except to order her upstairs to her room, which to her now seemed almost un- bearable. All privileges Were taken from her, even that of seeing Mr. Browning. Every day she was told that she was very ill and might and probably would -die very soon. Elizabeth outwardly submitted to this treatment, but her spirit was not so easily subdued, so one night Mr. Barrett en- tered her room for the evening prayer only to ind it empty. A note lay on her divan. He read it hurriedly, then h-e stood motion- less, and the paper Huttered to the floor as his fingers slowly unclenched. His idaugh- ter, an invalid, had eloped with Robert Browning. It was not that the old man, ob- jected to his son-in-law, but he rejected the idea of his 'famous daughter marrying anyone. The Brownings went to Florence where they lived in Casa Guidij' a house made famous because, in. mutual helpfulness, they fdid their best work there when Mr. Browning wrote Men and Women, and Mrs. Browning wrote her Sonnets from the Portuguese, which were really a col- lection of love songs written, to the person who sat across the breakfast table every morning. Soon, however, their happiness was broken by Mrs. Browningls death, which was much happier and more free than that of some caged thing. She had learned to use her Wings. Perhaps she iiew too far, and thus hastened her departure, but the essential thing is that she leaves us with a feeling of happiness, rather than sympa- thy for her. -Cecile Clement, '35. 18 PEMETIC 11121115 NIGHT FALL Lake, a saucer rimmed in green, On your surface may be seen Mountains, tall and gray and grim, Big trees, fringed around the rim. The mountains tipped with Iiery splendor, Where, with none to apprehend her, The .sun has crowned their beauty bold With a magic new, yet old. And in the valley soon below Where the deep blue iris grow, Where the purple -shadow broods In the depths of darkest woods, Lighi and dark play hide and seek, As shadow stalks the rosy peak. Above the world the glowing sun Sees that her dayls work is done. Night and day have run together Through the Warmth of summer weather. Now shadows hide the lakeis gay face As darkness wins another race. ---E. Mayo, '38. SONN ET What is there in the stars that you can see? Is it .something that has to do with you? I wish I knew just what it was, so We Below could read the is-tory shining through The sky, as though it held something in store For him who could translate it. What scheme Is brought to you when you Waftch a score or more Of falling stars, that .seem to us agleam? Some night, when all the stars are in the Sky, , The moon is throwing light on yonder glen, If you would take a walk, and wonder why Those little stars just twinkle now and then. I know that you would change your mind, about So many things of which you're in doubt. -B. C'. S., '35.

The major part of the credit for this goes to our coach, Mr. McLellan. He has given generously, both of his time and money, tothe perfection of a team. Al- though the team will lose six players by graduation, there are many good prospects in the under classes and we feel that, with the steady practice, a fine team can be de- veloped.

Although We were handicapped by be- ing forced to play at McKinley, we had a very successful season in baseball last spring, winning thirteen of our seventeen scheduled games. Mr. McLellan has worked untiringly and a great deal of credit is due him. We are looking forward to another suc- cessful season this year, losing but two players of our championship team of last year. Our team also appreciates very much the equipment of new suits for the base- ball team for this year's season, which opened April 15. For the 1935 season, Richard Hopkins was elected -manager, and Austin Gott, captain. The schedule and score of the games Of last year are as follows: April P Opp. Place Team 10 Mt.

There are about forty members. During fthe winter months many hikes were enjoyed. On January 4, 1935, ,Pe- metic High school gave its first winter carnival at Echo Lake. Snowshoeing, skating, and .skiing races took place. Following the events, the Winter Sports came back to the Odd Fellows' banquet hall and had a delicious bean sup- per. After the supper was served the coro- nation of King and Queen took place. The coronation was decidedly a success. Miss Sweeney, our English te.acher, made the coronation speech and placed the crowns upon the King, John Rich, and the Queen, Cecile Clement. We feel that all the members have had a very enjoyable year and hope that it will be much better since we have affiliated with the Mt. Desert Hiking Club. -A. L. M., '37. ::: ls wr , THE DEBATING CLUB A debating club, the first one in the history of Pemetic High School, was started by Miss Sweeney this year. At a club luncheon, Luther Herrick was ap- pointed temporary president, and Neola Gilley, secretary. Edward Higgins was later elected president. The club consists of twenty-five members taken from all classes. The club has made one public appear- ance and has held debates nearly every Tuesday afternoon. This is helping the members acquire the ability to speak be- fore people without being nervous. The members of the club feel that this club has helped them a great deal and hope that we may be able to have the club another year. -N. G., '36. lk HK is BESTOCCA Bestocca, which is a contest among the high schools of Hancock county, in athletic sports and mental achievement, was held at Bluehill May 21, 1934. For our .school this contest was the most successful since Bestocca originated. .We returned with a large share of the honors which were com- prised of ribbons, cups, and trophies. We were handicapped to some extent since many of our contestants were com- pelled to take part in more than one event. As a result our spellers, who have won previous contests, were unable to reach the spelling contest -on time and because of this were disqualified. 4 Our baseball team which had been un- usually successful during the season ac- complished the feat of winning the base- ball cup. The games were very closely con- tested and, in the finals, we only succeeded in winning from Castine after two men were out in the last inning. The contests were very close all day. The thing that was the greatest source of pride to Pemetic high school was that its stu- dents succeeded in winning second place in the achievement tests. We got a good share of prizes in the commercial contests. There were no con- te.sts in chorus, so for the iinst time since the beginning of Bestoclca, Pemetic had no team representing us. -Cecile Clement, '35, 26 PEMETIC EXTRA meek-7 nh Qvunlf Pemetic Edit Weekly News PROVES SUCCESS John Rich, Editor May 1-Southwest Harbor, Maine - weekly school paper, published by the English classes of Pemetic 'high school, Southwest Harbor, has been started this year. Miss Sweeney, our English teacher, founded the Week-End Revolt, and has coached it very ef- ficiently from the first. The staff con- sists of two report- ers from each class, namely, Nettie Beal and Clarence Beal, of the Seniors, Francis Gray and Edward Higgins, of the Juniors, Nellie Walls and Law- rence Berry, of the Sophomores, and Faith Whitmore and Ben Hamblen, of the Freshmen. These reporters have proved to be most conscientious in ferreting out the daily events of the school. Cecile Clement, the art editor, has proved in- valuable to the success of the paper, Aus- tin Gott, sports editor, has contributed greatly towards this cause. Burton Saw- yer and Eleanor Mayo, the feature writers, A v Staff of the Week-End Revolt have added spice and variety by the Masked Critic and literary column. Avis Norwood, Doris Birlem and Ferne Rumill, the mimeographers, have been faithful and ac- curate in their job of printing the paper. November 15 the following representa- tives were selected to attend a journalistic conference at Uni- l versity of Maine: C e c i l e Clement, Francis Gray, John Rich and Lawrence Berry. The know- ledge gained from this conference proved very help- ful to the paper. The morlgive be- hind the paper has been to bring the pupils in closer contact with each other, and to broaden their education. Thnough the paper the townspeople are able to see the progress of the school, become better acquainted with the students, and work with the students for improvements for the school. This activity has been a great success this year, and we look for- ward with anticipation to its being even a greater success next year, PIGMETIC 27 Pemetic B a n d l Front Row Cleft to rightl'-Charles Bennett, Philip Gilley, Frederick Berry, Frank Gilley, Laurence Berry, Eugene Thurston.

The Pemetic high school band which was organized in late November has ever since been .an enthusiastic adventure. Mr. Long, our conductor, with the efforts of Sim Marshall, Fred Mayo and Harry Bennett, has successfully organized this group. We feel assured that if the' cooperation and steadfast, untiring work of our .students and members will go on, the Pemetic high school'band will be a permanent organ- ization. There have been many handicaps to overcome, namely, first, insufficient know- ledge of music, second, the lack of ac- quaintanceship of different kinds of in- strurnentsg third, the lack of funds to make -the initial start, and the proper meeting place. But with the cooperation of Mr. McLellan, our principal, and Mr. Clark, our superintendent, we have overcome most of the obstacles, and with the com- ing year look forward to a most success- ful 01718. Mr. Long, as conductor, regrets that there are many members of the band who are Seniors and who will leave us at the 'close of this school year. However, he has said' that his acquaintanceship of these Senior members will always be looked back upon as a pleasant memory. He sincerely hopes that those people who have made their initial start in the field of music will endeavor to .strive for higher attainments. We all as members of the band will be proud in days to come to know that one or more in our midst has gone out into the world and made hi.s name in the field of music. After all, just these organizations in sm.all high schools, band, chorus, and such are primarily instituted to give these students an initial appreciation and better technical knowledge of music. May Pemetic high school in future days appropriate, sustain, and encourage some form of musical education for its mem- bers of the student body. 28 PEMETIC Ehe Senior llblay On January 31, 1935, the Senior class pre- sented the play, Billie Behavef' The play was well attended by the 'townspeople and we realized a proiit of 364.

A chorus of the entire Senior class formed the background -of these skits.. The Senior class wishes to take this op- portunity to thank Miss Sweeney for her luntiring eiTorts and faithful cooperation in coaching this play so efficiently. -A. Beal, '35.

This play was deemed a great success by all who attended and added 3553.16 to our class treasury. The Junior class wishes to take this time to thank Miss Sweeney for her coa-ching the play so faithfully and competently, and also Miss -Moore, who coached the special- ties with suocess and eiiiciency. -F.
