We were welcomed by the Sophomore class with the traditional Freshman Initiation. During this day of dilemma the girls had to wear men 's pants, shirts, rubber boots, carry an umbrella, and our hair tied up in rope. The boys donned girl 's shorts, high heels, red socks, veils, ribbons, and of course the ever popular lipstick. After this day was over we felt we truly belonged in the high school. Our class officers were elected as follows: President ......... . . Alice Harper Vice President ...... . George Francis Secretary ....... ..... . Roger Pomroy Treasurer ....... ........

Due to the hard work which the student librarians put in last year the library is now in smooth working order and the present librarians' main duties are those of keeping the books and magazines in order and preventing the reference books and dictionaries from disappearing from the library. In spite of our vigi- lance, however, I'm afraid that the librarians are forced to play de- tective parts, occasionally. We are glad that the Student Librarians' Organization is flourishing and we hope that it may continue to be of benefit to Pemetic High School in the future.

CHRISTMAS AND EMERSON l was delighted to read Ralph Waldo Emerson's essay, GIFTS, because in it he revealed to me another gleaming gem of philosoply upon which l pounced hungrily. Heretofore, although l had never put my feelings into words except in spasmodic grurnblings when I felt obliged to give someone something, I had felt some disquietude about this business of ivin . g slaying digested Emerson's philosophy to the extent that I found myself ir1 agreement with it I then proceeded to examine this world about me to find out if it had ever heard of the philosophy of gifts. My conclusion was that the world is in a state of complete oblivion as far as Emerson and GIFTS are concerned. The supreme example which I used to support my conclusion in Christmas because it is the time of year when the greatest number of gifts are given and re- ceived by the world. Originally, Christmas was a happy season of the year when people dug their loving and generous spirits out of mothballs and, putting them on, gave gladly. Now, that was all very well and good. Everybody was happyg life was - merry and our loving, generous, and giving spirits were being exercised. Surely neither Emerson nor anybody else would find fault with these things. Probably it was because nobody did find fault with the first Christmas that some stinker of a human being who wasn't content to let well enough alone had to go too far and exploit the Holiday Season so he could capitalize on the better sides of human nature. Anyway, as a result of his dastardly doings, nowadays, instead of gifts made by the givers with loving hearts and simple materials we have department stores and mail order catalogs. Nowadays, at Christmas time, we sit down and make out long lists of obligations and, then, with the obnoxious list in one hand and our saved dollars in another, traipse downtown to the store to trade our cash for various bright colored and expensive baubles, bangles and bright colored beads. Let us think, for a moment, how ridiculous, we, the people appear. Either we buy gifts for our friends with dirty paper or we take this paper, which, oftentimes is needed for more essential things, and by gifts for people about whom we care nothing just to keep up with the Ioneses. And of what are we thinking while we shop? We have these considerationsin mind. Will he or she like it? Does it look expensive enough? Can Iafford it? What ungenerous, unloving questions, these. It 's apparent that we hold no love and affection for the recipients of our gifts, else why do we worry if the gift will be wanted? If love existed between us the gift would be token of friend- ship and naturally it would be well received. If we have no love for a person, why give? Do we use gifts as tokens of have or disinterest? In giving gifts let us consider these things. Do I hold any affection for him or her? What can I properly give as a part of me? Having determined how to give, the question now is what to give. Emerson says that a gift may be very appropri- ately determined by necessity but in these days of flowering materialism I think that, often, we take this statement too literally. It is true that many times we may honestly and practically give gifts of a sensible nature for it is silly to pre- sent a man with a carriage unless he has a horse to pull it. Iwonder, though, at some of the things I see given as neces- sary things. Seeing these things makes me feel that man is slightly prone to exaggerate on this matter of necessity. It's all very well to give a man enough bread for supper but when it comes to offering him a third piece of pie at a sixteen course dinner I begin to speculate on the meaning of the word necessity today. If we are not going to give a gift of necessity we should give of ourselves, by ourselves. Frankly, except for some knitted baby presented by a doting grandmother, which I've seen on a few scattered Christmas trees, there's little else around now given by and of ourselves. Tis seldom that I receive a gift which might be remotely associated with the donor. Many people argue that it's not practical to waste time and money on silly little doo dads which no one could possibly have any use for. These people are forgetting a few things. They forget that what the gift is, is not important to one who loves us. It's our love which counts. They don't recall that when time and effort are spent on a gift there's more true affection involved. Furthermore, if the receiver of a gift wishes something useful he is not expecting a gift and he would do better to go out and buy whatever he wants, himself. If he can't afford his desire he may as well ask the donor for the money in an outright fashion instead of disguising his wants in the form of a gift. Lastly, having considered how to give a gift and what to give for a gift we come to the problem of how to receive one. Usually, at Christmas we either pour forth volumes of thanks at receiving a flavorable article or scold stormily at being disappointed in our desire and not getting what we believe to be our due. These points of view are deplorable. A gift should be an unlocked for expression of affection without which we were just as happy and with which we hold the same feelings toward the donor as before. As for expecting a gift, why, if an article is expected it is no gift but only a petty demand to be fulfilled. These, therefore, are the three aspects of gifts, the spirit of giving the gift, the spirit of the gift, itself, and the spirit of receiving one. Agreeing as I do with Emerson I'd like very much to see his ideas followed a great deal more often, a great deal more closely, by a great many more people, not only at Christmas but throughout the year. 33 Meredith Rich 57 TRUE BUT STRANGE One day three years ago I was touring France. I had rented one of those two seated sport cars from a car rental dealer in Paris. lt was early in the afternoon of a hot July day and I was driving down a narrow dirt road through Southern France. There wasn't a whisper of a breeze and the dust billowing up from my car was sticking to the sweat on my face and neck. My throat felt as though it were coated with sawdust and the radiator of my car was starting to heat. I had been frantically looking for some sign of a human habitation so that I might get a drink for myself and my car. Iwas just about to give up and return to Paris when I rounded a bend in the road and just ahead sat a small thatched roof cottage built of stone. It seemed to be sitting directly in the middle of the road, but as I drew nearer I could see that it was situated in the center of a fork in the road. I stopped my car and started up the stone bordered path to the front door. Before I could reach the cottage however, a decrepit old gentleman met me on the front step. He was a cheerful old man with dark blue eyes and long white hair. He met me with a hearty smile and asked me if he might be of help to me. I asked him if I could have some water and he pointed out a well at the rear of the house. While I was pouring the water into the radiator I asked the old gentleman how far I was from Germany. He replied that ifI were to travel steadily Iwould reach the border in about four hours. While we were talking a small freckle-faced boy with firey red hair came out and stood just behind the old man. An old fox hound came and lay down beside the boy. The boy and the dog watched me with an in- quisitive expression wondering what the old man and Iwere saying. In the course of our conversation the old man had asked me to stay for supper. I, of course, accepted gratefully since Ihad had nothing to eat. As we started for the cottage I chanced to inquire, for the sake of conversation more than out of curiosity, where the other road would take me. All three, the old man, the boy and the dog, stopped frozen in their tracks. The child looked at me and started to scream in terror, and ran around the house as if he had suddenly seen a specter. The dog ran off into the woods with his tail between his legs, vociferating such howls of agony that l feared he had been struck by a witch's curse. The old man drew away from me asqif I were infected with a plague. The palpitating of his heart sounded like the beating of a base drum. His eyes turned to water and as quickly as his ancient bones would allow, he stumbled into the house and slammed and ,bolted the door. Iwas so startled that for a minute I stood anchored to the ground. Ithen stepped cautiously to the door of the house and knocked. Ihoped to become reconciled with the old fellow and find out why my query had caused this unexpected agitation, but Iwas sharply rebuffed by the articulate cries of the old gentleman for me to go away. I could plainly see that Iwould get nothing out of him so I returned to my car. I took another look down the strange road, for it did seem different from the other, and there seemed to be some invisible force beckoning me to seek out the cause of the unexplained actions of the old man and boy. I drove for about a mile down the road, and all the while there was some mysterious feeling about me that made me very uncomfortable. As I topped a rise in the road Ibeheld a beautiful vista of a large valley, and across the valley sat an old abandoned castle with a stone wall running completely around it. As I stopped the car just inside the gate to the old castle I suddenly felt very dizzy and I nearly fell as I stepped out of the car. Then just as suddenly as it had ,come the dizziness left me and I felt as well as ever. I started walking slowly toward the entrance to the castle, and all the while Iwas surveying the grounds around the castle and the outside of the castle itself. The once beautiful flower gardens were choked with weeds, and the remains of statues stood here and there with either their arms, legs, or heads smashed into a million pieces at their bases. I slowly mounted the stone steps which were worn with use, but they showed no sign of a recent tread, and Iwalked through the door, I found myself in a long dark corridor. The dust of centuries lay undisturbed upon every- thing wide enough to support it. There was absolutely no light save that which showed through the door. Istarted to turn, but I spied a flicker of a shadow at the end of the hall. When I looked again, however, there was nothing. Surely I didn't imagine it. I know I saw someone there. I walked slowly toward the end of the hall, fearing that I might stumble over something in the gloom. When I reached a turn in the hall I peered into the murky darkness. Again I saw someone. This time, there was no mistake. I distinctly saw someone standing there in the darkness. I rushed to the spot where Ihad last seen him, but there wasn't a trace. Iwheeled around hoping to find someone behind me, but only darkness could I see. I suddenly had the feeling that someone was watching me. I spun around. I could see the figure of a person beckoning to me, and then he was gone. I stood frozen in my tracks, I didn't know what to do, and then it dawned on me. I was still a little dizzy from that spell I had had at the car, and that, coupled with the mysteriousness of the castle, caused me to have these illusions. I took one last look up the hall and as I did so a figure darted across the hall and through an aperture in the wall. It was the tenuous figure of a woman. I ran to the opening and burst through. I found myself in a large room which once must have been a ballroom. Four large stone stanchions supported the ceiling. I could see very plainly in here. A long staircase led up to a balcony which ran all the way around the room. She was nowhere in sight. I looked everywhere. I called but I heard not a sound. I must be losing my senses. I must get outside and get some fresh air. As Iwas about to leave she stepped out from behind one of the pillars. She was the most beautufulwoman I had ever seen. Her beauty filled the entire room. She was tall and slender. Her long red hair fell softly over her shoulders. Her eyes were as blue and as soft as the sky. Much to my surprise and wonder she was dressed in an evening gown of the eighteenth century. Slowly she raised her hand to me. I tried to turn and run, but her tantalizing beauty was irresistible. I slowly took a step toward her. My heart was beating violently. I took another and another but at every step she slipped away from me. Iwent faster, but she still kept ahead of me, and gracefully ascended the stairs. I ran madly after her, but at the top of the staircase she disappeared. Icalled, and she spoke my name ever so softly behind me. I wheeled about and as Idid so I lost my balance and started to fall. I clutched for the railing but it gave way under my weight, and I fell head long over the edge of the stairs. I landed on my back across the arms of a large chair. I felt a sharp agonizing pain in my back. When I looked up there she stood peering down at me from above. When I came to I was still lying across the arms of the chair, but the pain was gone. I jumped up and ran to the center of the room. I called, but I received not an answer. I ran across the room, through the hall, and out the front door. I stopped short on the steps because four men were standing around my car. One of them was the gentleman of whom I had rented the car. Ohl At last l Someone to help me hunt for her, I thought. I ran up to them. I pleaded with them to come and help me, but they didn't even notice me. They walked right ir1to the castle and left me stand ing there. I raced after them. Each one went in a different direction. I tagged after the car dealer, trying to get his attention, but he just poked along looking through doorways as if I were not even there. While I was pleading with him one of the other men shouted from the direction of the ballroom. I couldn't make out what it was he said, but we both raced in that direction. When we entered the room the other men were standing around a large chair beneath the stairs. As I drew nearer I could see the body of a man lying across the arms of the chair. The men said something and then they carried the body out of the castle and placed it in my car. The car dealer drove it and the others rode away on horses, because there was no road. There were only the tire tracks through the tall grass. I tried to follow them. I shouted, but they would not listen. Some invisible barrier would not permit me to pass through the gate. As I struggled with this barrier someone called my name. I turned, and she was standing in the doorway. Kenneth Hutchins 57 35 1939 Elmer Beal, H. R. Beal 82 Sons, Southwest Harbor, Maine.

Mount Desert and Bar Harbor athome. We won the meets at Ellsworth and at home, placing second in all other meets. We also competed in the country and state meets. The outstanding hill and dalers were Harold Hatch and Wesley Bracy. Harold Hatch placed first in every meet including the county and state meets. In the majority of the meets Wesley Bracy was his shadow. Harold Hatch set a record time in the county meet at Bucksport of 13:17. In the state meet he also set a new track record doing the 2.5 miles in 12 :37.4 seconds. He was among the ten runners to represent the state in the New England Cross-Country meet in which he took eighth place and received a gold medal for being among the ten best in New England 41 Qi ' gcwketfczfl Under the coaching of Miss Crabtree the Pemetic Girls played an eight game schedule, winning five of the eight games.

F. Karban 43 Closed Mondays Owner-Manager Wcmadzq gaaeetfall Like old man river, Pemetic just keeps rolling along. The 1955-56 season opened with a 73-53 win over Stevens Academy at home. A 48-70 reversal by the Ellsworth Eagles was quickly forgotten by consecutive wins over Lubec 42-41, Mt. Desert 43-42 and Sumner 53-24. The 50-53 overtime loss to Bar Harbor failed to slow up the Indians and a skein of eight straight wins over Bucksport 71-41, Sumner 44-29, Bar Harbor 63-62, Milo 79-58, Mt. Desert 80-74, Bucksport 64-41, Lubec 67-55, Stevens 76-31 bolstered the record. A second loss to Ellsworth 50-74 was erased by a closing win over Milo 55-52. The point system gave Bar Harbor the play off instead of the Indians for County Title. STATE REGIONAL TOURNAMENT The Indians easily disposed of Sumner 51-42 and in the finals Bar Harbor went down 75-66 clinching a berth for the Eastem Tournament. EASTERN MAINE TOURNAMENT The maroon and black made its ninth trip in ten years to Bangor. Rated fourth, the Indians faced Hallowell and gained a 66-43 Victory. The semi-final round we met Greenville as in past years and came through this one 67-61. The third try for the Eastem title brought Mattanawook Academy of Lincoln up against our Indians. The boys played very well but lacked heighth so we missed the title by nine points. The final score 46-55. We lost the title but eamed a coveted prize THE SPORTSMANSHIP BANNER in the M division. We are proud of our boys, our fans, and all concerned who aided Pemetic in winning this award. Praise for any individual player would be lacking. The team of Co-Capts. Boyington and Mitchell, D. Carroll, J. Carroll, Ramsdell, Bouchard and Hatch along with Sawyer, Brown, Wheaton, Walls and P. Dow brought Pemetic its honors this year under the capable leadership of Coach Clyde Haden.
