OUR DAYS AT Editor-in-Chief.......................Shirley Worcester Assistant Editor...........................Merle Martel Business Manager..........................George Higgins Advisor..................................Mr. Donald York Photography..............................Stevens Studios NINETEEN HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVE The PEMETIC HIGH SCHOOL Southwest Harbor, Maine EDITORIAL TO THE CLASS OF 1965: At present, this book is rather insignificant. It will be looked at a half dozen times and then put away. We need no reminder. We can close our eyes and see a picture of each of our class- mates easily. The experiences of the last four years are fresh in our minds. As impossible as it may seem now, in six months, very few of us will know where six of our classmates are and in six years most of the faces and many of the memories will have faded. Then we can get out the Pemetic and spend a few minutes back in school, young and carefree again. The older we get, the more meaningful this book will become, and someday when our children find it and laugh at the hair styles and outfits, we will realize how old we have grown and appreciate the fact that we do have a valuable reminder of some of the happiest years of our lives. TO THE UNDERCLASSMAN: This year we have attempted to make the yearbook somewhat different than it has been in past years. We have worked very hard to do this and feel we have something special. We have included sections concerning activities, athletics, and literature—subjects which we felt were necessary to a well rounded yearbook. These same three areas are vital in a much more important manner--the formation of our lives. We have many students at Pemetic who excel in one of these areas, but to be a special person, or to have a special yearbook, it is necessary to have a combination of all three. For four years, our lives revolve around Pemetic High School, but four years compared to a life-time is very short. Don't feel that you should be the athletic hero of the school or even the student who gets an A on every test. To be a well rounded person during the many years after high school, work hard at Pemetic to do well in athletics, activities and in school work. I hope you all have as wonderful a time becoming well rounded people as I have had in attempting to make the 1965 Pemetic a well rounded, special, and interesting yearbook. I would like to thank Mr. York for all the nights and week-ends he has devoted to the year- book. Working together with him and Merle has been one of the most rewarding and enjoyable experiences of my high school years. Finally, I would like to thank Mr. Furtwengler for his patience and understanding, and for putting up with me and my ideas these past few months. Editor y CONTENTS DEDICATION FACULTY and ADMINISTRATION SENIORS JUNIORS UNDERCLASSMEN ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS LITERATURE DEDICATION ■MM The Senior Class of Pemetic High School is proud to be able to dedicate our 1965 yearbook to a man who has been both a fine teacher and good friend. We always knew that no matter what we did, he would be sitting there whistling patiently. Even when he had to correct us, it was done in such an understanding manner, that we were always eager to try again. We enthusiastically dedicate The Pemetic to MR.

Remember, teachers are not allowed to give out aspirin. Room A was assigned as our home room and we filled it with fifty-seven students. With the helpofMr. Johnson, we elected our Class officers. George Higgins was President, Bill Hamblen was Vice-President, Shirley Worcester was Secretary, and Kathy Thurston was Treasurer. Liz Marshall and Val Perkins were our Student Council representatives. It was in the spring of our Freshman year that the Chorus members decided to have a picnic on the second fairway of the Lucerne Country Club. After our initiation by the Sophomores, we eagerly joined in the school activities. Our class was well represented in: Golf, J.V. Basketball, J.V. Cheering, Cross Country, G. A .A., Band and Chorus, and Baseball. InSeptember of 1963 we again stood in the hall, waiting for assembly. We no longer were Fright- ened Freshmen but Self-Confident Sophomores . We soon found, to our great pleasure, that Mr. John- son would again be our advisor, and that Room A again was to be ours. We now had forty-eight members from which to choose our officers. Dale Mills became our President, Shirley Worcester was Vice-President, Liz Marshall was Secretary, Kathy Thurs- ton became Treasurer. George Higgins and Barb Workman became our Student Council representatives. Within a few weeks we did our best to make initiation a memorable day for the freshmen! With the advice of Mr. Renwick and the leadership of George Higgins and Shirley Worcester, we undertook the publishing of the POW WOW. Four short years ago, the CLASS OF 1965 entered the halls of PEMETIC HIGH SCHOOL. We attempted to appear as casual as possible as we stood there in our new clothes waiting to go into the gym for an assembly. As is the custom, Mr. Furtwengler intro- duced the faculty and then proceeded to terrify us with rigid regu- Compliments of: HENRY HINCKLEY COMPANY Southwest Harbor HISTORY Three of our boys were key members of the varsity basketball team and we also contributed to most of the various organizations. We increased our treasury by selling potato chips at noon recess and at the basketball games. Our Junior year began with forty-two members. Room B became our new home and Mr. Burgess, our advisor. Shirley Worcestor was elected President, David Gordius was Vice-President, Liz Marshall and Kathy Thurston again Secretary and Treasurer. John Leonard and Barb Workman represented us in the Stu- dent Council. We held our very successful Junior Prom on Novem- ber 1. Our theme was Moonlight and Roses. Kathy Thurston and Danny Mitchell were crowned Queen and King by Mr. Furtwengler. Now that we were finally upper-classmen, we dominated the various activities. Frankie Krantz was President of the G.A .A., Shir ley Worcestor became Assistant Editor of the PEMETIC, and six of the Varsity Basketball players were Juniors. Barb Workman was Captain of the J.V. Cheerleaders. The HancockCounty Baseball Championship was again won by Pemetic High School, with the aid of several Juniors. Our Senior Year began on September 9, 1965. Room B again became our homeroom and we very enthusiastically welcomed Mr. Crafts as our advisor. To lead our forty-one members through In October we presented our Senior Play, Headin’ For A Weddin ', which was very well received. Our classmates filled all major offices in school activities. George Higgins was Presi- dent of the Student Council, Bill Hamblen led National Honor Society, Frankie Krantz headed G.A .A., Jean Stanley was President if F.H.A., Liz Marshall headed Varsity Cheerleading and Shirley Worcestor edited THE PEMETIC.

Some say that he's a wonderful author, But his book is quite a bother. Procrastination is my downfall. Often I cannot recall My assignments as they're given. It's a wonder I'm still livin'. So this little test I fail, Perhaps if I were made to go to jail I would read as others do And get some rank beside a zero. Now I promise I will read it, And our class, I now will lead it -- In what I am not sure. (Perhaps in going out the door.) I sit up all nights inventing tests (One of my favorite habits) To catch procrastinating pests, As I duuno ' and Yeah-buts.” I've found jokes and do-it-laters Hidden with the rest, But among procrastinators You surely are the best. I see why you have not excelled, That you're unprepared -- no wonder. Your energy is all expelled At night in moving lumber. If I were you, I'd get a pole Or hire extra teams! Or get a less-demanding troll To supervise my dreams. Your classmates will be answerin' In years hence, (You will find), When asked about Bill Hamblen, Oh, he got left behind! Feb. 1, 1965 TO MY STUDENT For those who put off day by day The classroom's law and letter, I'm not so sure the door's the way The window might be better. You may not have your homework done, You may not be a whiz, But wouldn't it be kind of fun To know what year it is? There is a lesson to be learned From those who try to fake it — He put it off; no grade he earned. In short -- He didn’t make it. Your grade falls at so sharp a rate Where will its curve be done? All I can say -- you're doing great Your score is Minus 1.

On September 9, 1964, the Junior Class was pleased to see that Mr. York was our advisor. Our class officers are as follows: President: Brenda Doble Vice President: Raymond Bunker Secretary: Margo Harkins Treasurer: Boynton Stanley Student Council: Richard Norwood, Malcolm Pettigrow On the thirteenth day of the same month we received our class rings which showed we actually were upper classmen. The Junior Prom was to be our biggest event of the year. A great deal of hard work went into this prom and with the guidance of Mr. York our prom was quite success- ful. By selling pop at the home basketball games we hoped to fill our treasury. The class of 1966 has a total of 55 students this year. Those trying out for All-State were Carol Hamblen, Merle Martel, and Michael Galbreath. Six of our Junior boys helped to make up our varsity basketball squad and two girls were varsity cheerleaders.

PRESIDENT: William Hamblen VICE PRESIDENT: George Higgins SECRETARY-TREASURER: Shirley Worcester In early March of each year, Mr. Furtwengler calls a very important faculty meeting. The teachers assemble around tables in the Home Economics room anxious to learn the topic of the meeting. After hours of heated discussion, the teachers wearily file out leaving the victorious Mr. Furtwengler with a list of students to be installed in the National Honor Society. Soon the special assembly is arranged. Each junior nervously takes his seat hoping des- perately that he will be one of the chosen few to whom the highest honor of the school is awarded. It is very difficult to attain such an honor. A student is judged for outstanding achievement in four different areas. In order to qualify for consideration, a student must have a total scho- lastic average of 85%. If he meets this requirement, he is then judged on Leadership, Character, and Service.

The Magazine Drive is conducted by the Student Council with the proceeds going into the General Fund. Annually the Student Council puts on the Christmas Assembly, which is held on the day before school ends for Christmas vacation. This year the Assembly was held on December 18. The Student Council undertakes many projects during the school year. At the December meeting we voted to give turkeys and food for needy families in the area. We are represented by two members from each class and four officers.

About twenty of our members went to the Hancock County Chorus and nine represented us in the spring at the All-State Audition Festival. After the first of the year, we began to practice toward our Spring Concert and the Eastern Maine Music Festival. Compliments of F. J. BREWER SON INC. THE BOATHOUSE General Electric J. Willis, Prop. Bar Harbor, Maine Manset, Maine ALL-STATE Every year toward the end of September, Mr. and Mrs. Robinson start recruiting students from the band and chorus to try out for A11 -State. About two or three weeks later the audition music arrives. Each student practices diligently under the watchful eyes of their directors. On the first Saturday in December, the anxious little group boards a school bus for Bangor. Usually enough time is allowed before the audition so that they can do some Christmas shopping to relieve their tension. But eventually the time comes to get on the bus again and head for the school where the audition is to be held. After putting their name, the name of their advisor and stated whether they have attended All- State before on a score sheet, they go to a classroom that has been assigned to their group. From here, all the girls immediately make a bee line for the nearest mirror to make themselves pre- sentable for the judges while the boys fidget back in the room. The school seems alive with activity. Small choruses of singers can be heard hastily going over their music one last time. In other rooms, prospective band members are tuning up. Finally it'sail over. Everyone has done his best, and hopes it will be good enough. The ride home is very long for some, while others, more optimistic, gaily laugh and joke trying to cheer up their fellow classmates. The first of January, Mr. and Mrs. Robinson receive a notice in the mail telling them who is to attend the concert in April. They proudly pass the good news on to their students. In the months that follow, the music arrives and the practicing is resumed until the final day. This year the chosen students will ride on a bus with those from Mount Desert and Bar Harbor to Dover-Foxcroft. Once there, they register and disperse to the homes of kind residents who have opened their homes for the next three days. During this time about nine hours of each day is spent getting the selections polished off to suit the conductors. However, it's not all work and no play. Like teenagers everywhere the All-Staters get in their fun. A dance is held on the first night to help break the ice. Some who have been to All-State before renew old friendships. On Saturday, parents and friends arrive to hear the concert. In less than two hours, it is all over. The weary musicians travel home, their heads spinning with memories of the previous two days. Most look forward to All-State the following year. s. Beal C. Hamblen J. Vine Mr. Robinson Mrs. Robinson D. Vine M. Martel C. Berry B. Lunt R. Turner R. Leighton J. Davis M. Galbreath K. Turner R.

The season began fore- bodingly with two twenty point losses. But before it was over the team had knocked Stonington from the ranks of the undefeated and won seven games. It was the best season in several years. The team had great spirit, with Bill Hamblen and Richard Nor- wood leading in the scoring depart- ment. With three starters returning next year should prove a success. Bill and Richard were the scoring combination. They were backed up by a greatly improved John Leonard, who provided additional power in the latter part of the season. Guy Dunbar was the playmaker of the team. The other starting spot was filled by Juniors, Bunny Leonard and Lawrence Tracey, who alternated. Compliments of: M.A. CLARK, INC. KING COLE FOODS, INC.

The many weatherbeaten workboats lay quietly at their moorings and seemed to be content with the safety of the surrounding familiar hills. It was as if they feared the cold and vastness of the open sea, which presented itself through the rocky frame of the harbor's entrance. The biting crispness of the silent air was shattered by the uneven roar of a rust-encrusted engine, housed in one of these rugged hulls; the howling sound from this machine echoed and re- echoed the beginning of a routine day in the fishing town. It was December twenty-fourth, the harbinger of Christmas, and the day presented itself as gray, overcast and extremely cold, even for the last month of the year. Nowhere could be seen the traditional preclaimers of the holiday, no decorated tree filled the square with brightness, and no displays of holly and lights could be seen on the houses of the town. There was no sound of laughing children and excited shoppers, spreading good wishes about. Only the snow, and the dark, majestic evergreens and the one lonely poster of Santa in the grocery store window held with the accepted traditions of the season. The wake of a departing boat sent smooth, glassy waves shimmering toward shore. As these waves rolled through the piling of the sardine wharf, they splashed and gurgled around the wooden supports and acted as an alarm clock for Harry Richards. The sardine wharf was Harry's win- ter home. Here, by permission of the owner, he slept, keeping fairly warm by wrapping himself in several tattered coats and snuggling near the factory's boilers, which emitted clouds of steam. Life was easier in the summer, when the weather was warm, for then he could take up living quarters in one of the abandoned bait-sheds which lined the shore. Harry opened his eyes and was immediately overtaken by the violent headache confronted him so many mornings. He looked painfully around him and saw the cause of his suffering, the empty beer bottles which lay scattered around. He lay still for awhile and then slowly arose, cursing the lameness and pain which filled his stiff body. Roughly, he rubbed his grimy hands over his face, which was covered with a week's stubble, and closed his eyes, swaying off balance. Finally he stooped and pulled on his shabby hip boots, which had long ago seen duty in the town dump. The cold of the morning hit him hard and he shivered as he walked along the snowy road. What's today? he though, clearing his head with the fresh, clean air. Oh,yeah. Tomorrow's Christmas. ea Whispering upon the shore at mid-night, engraving on the sand, Its secret messages to those who understand. Its splendor, its angry beauty, its compelling force The serene beauty on a warm summer day. The comforting sound of waves lapping against the shore after dark. Its quality of peace penetrates to one's very core. Oh! How can anyone who has felt this great com- passion be long away from its ever beckoning shore? Then as it was every year at this time, he was filled with remembrances of his childhood. He recalled his home on Duck Island, his family and the happy days. He thought about the joyous Christmas Eves and the bright trees and his one or two wonderful gifts, which he couldn't wait to open. How long had it been since he had received a present or eaten a Christmas dinner--or any dinner at all, for that matter? Harry couldn't remember. He only knew that December twenty- fourth was just another day to endure. He passed the small lobster wharf, with its usual group of lazy fishermen, who enjoyed spend- ing hours ridiculing the more ambitious and prosperous members of their profession. None of them yelled, Merry Christmas! or How are you today, Harry? Compliments of: SOUTHWEST HARBOR BOAT COR. DICK'S DINER SARGENT INC. BROOKSIDE RESTAURANT MOTEL Southwest Harbor Ellsworth Ellsworth Ellsworth He was met witha barrage of remarks which had long been saved just for him. Well, there goes Harry! I thought he spent his winters up t' jail!” Harry must be broke; he ain't drunk! Harry was so used to such verbal beatings that he took no notice of this one. The lack of in- terest could also be attributed to the overpowering hunger which no longer possessed his mind and body. No money. Maybe I can earn a doughnut or somethin' down t'store. Luck was against him. Harry asked if there was anything he could do, but Mr. Newman, the storekeeper, wanted to add, It don't help business any to have you hanging 'round, either. As Harry again emerged into the cold, he sensed life as an impossible struggle. No emotion stirred in him, but from long-established habit he walked slowly to the shore. Here he stopped and gazed upon the only thing which offered him pleasure and kept alive his meager pride. This treasure was a dilapidated double-ended skiff, ancient in style and years, resting on the frozen beach. It was Harry's one and only possession and he loved this boat as one loves a faithful dog. He had spent hour after hour rowing it, repairing it, pampering it, or just watching it float as he sat on the wharf. This morning before Christmas, however, he did not sense the usual warm feeling as he pulled the boat over the beach and into the water. He had ceased to let any pleasant emotion dwell within him. He clumsily jumped into the boat, placed the oars into position, and began the smooth pulling which marked him as an experienced rower. He solemnly propelled his craft past the sardine wharf, out to the rocky point of the entrance, and beyond the gleaming white pillar which marked Bass Harbor Head light. He was like a machine, his soul completely empty of meditation. His body rocked to the rhythm of the oars, as the words Pull --life; pull --life, echoed within him. Without tiring and with no re- cognition of time, Harry continued to row, the only motion which seem- ed natural to him. Late afternoon brought a change in the weather, for the sun had broken through the earth-covering gloom, but it carried with it no change in Harry. By now, he and his boat had covered a great watery distance, and the land, gray, white and dark green, was visible far to the east. The skiff was listlessly floating now, and Harry crouched lifelessly in its rolling bottom. Even if he had wanted to direct his craft to some goal, he would have been unable to do so. For, in a sudden fit of maddening anger, he had broken the oars and thrown the pieces into the sea. Now Harry was quiet. He had given up all interest in living and was calmly waiting for the killing cold to serve up death. The world had condemned him and the last shred of hope had left his heart. He wished that death would come quickly, for he feared dying, as the children of the town had always feared him. Compliments of: MANSET BOAT SHOP LYMBURNER ELECTRIC CO. JACKSON’S MKT. J. J. NEWBERRY Manset, Maine Bar Harbor, Maine Southwest Harbor Ellsworth 7 e 1 Jerse He climbed through the hills, and down along the mountain streams; He saw many things -- But like dreams they faded away. He sailed and gained knowledge of the coast and ocean. He saw the trees in a summer's breeze in motion — but like the breeze, it faded away. The beauty of the dawn unveiled before his eyes, The golden mist reflecting the light of the skies ---But like the mist it faded away. He felt the swirling snow, cold of the northern wind. The frozen rain that only winter would send---but like the ice it melted away. He wrote one verse of the things he saw, Of hills, the sea, the snow that thawed ----Unlike the rest, the verse remained. As Harry dejectedly waited, he looked back at the land and saw that the darkness of the water and the whiteness of the snow-covered land were beautifully tinted by the crimson light of the setting sun. The glowing land was like a beacon, and Harry stared at it, feeling emotion for first time other than anger and despair. . � , . . His downcast mind was filled with visions--he saw his warm nest in the factory; he smelled the savory fragrance of the white steaming clams which he had often dug and cooked; he pictured the questioning tourists who treated him as something special, The real old Downeaster. He realized for the first time that life had two sides, good and bad, and he sensed that his own life mlghHe completely5forgot his sufferings, worries and shortcomings and was filled with the power- ful urge to walk on the solid earth which seemed so far away. Harry could not compel himself to stay in his floating coffin any longer. He frantically pulled off his boots and dived with all his strength toward shore. He was not a strong swimmer, and the freezing sea gave even the best of swimmers no chance for survival. But already Harry was victorious. He wanted to live. ...............c ,payLastRespects A 2,000 Fans r J ss i - u ace ”11 u'c oo ern S£££S5 coach, SMWortr-W- column , � � H� nco “ 0 ,he P«' COm ss Sts sx - - SPORT said tnav especial D Menue lhe UMl C“” ..

Southwest Harbor The Power of Advertising My personal form of insanity stems from a frustrated childhood and adolescence. I can- not blame it entirely on my parents, but that might help. My attorney admonished me not to sound too rational; however, there are times when one needs to confide. I admit that I committed the crime, al- though at that time I am supposed not to have known what I was doing. Murder is quite horrible when one gets right down to it. I had always disliked ads that come in the mail, television commercials, and particular- ly, door to door salesmen. I had been able to bear up under the strain until two weeks ago, I think, when things got frustrating. I woke up to my clock radio's demand that Thomas Black takes all risks. I turned it off. I dressed, walked downstairs (to the barks of the Esso Watchdog), for I had absent- mindedly turned the radio back on. Breakfast consisted of orange juice mixed with Pepsi-- ( For those who think young! ) I think it was when I tuned in the Bayer Aspirin commercial on TV that I first became slightly irrational. The crushing blow, how- ever, was when I looked at the suntan lotion billboard which had been placed precisely in front of my picture window. I went into my little workshop and got an axe — down came the billboard. I went home victoriously. I optimistically turned on the radio; this time the sponsor was Coca-Cola — I went for the axe! The TV was extolling the virtues of the Yellow Pages. Again, the axe was very efficient! It was a poor time for the Fuller Brush man to call! Compliments of: E.A. HODGDON CONST.
