Hopkins? 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.

P E M. E T I C 25 Elctivitie THE OUTING CLUB The Outing Club is an organization for hikes. ' The club was organized by Harvey Saw- yer and Richard Dolliver. It was or- ganized early in November. 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,
