THE H112 Published Annually by Students of Presque Isle High School Presque Isle, Maine, june, 1946 FOREWORD The war is over and many of the universal Eifl:3i.'S are now back to normal: conse- quently, the Ship has been able during the past year to resume its visits to some of the almost forgotten ports---not to mention the many new harbors with which it has come into contact. As we sailed in ancl out of some of these ports and harbors, we discovered that a great deal of activity was taking placeg therefore, each member of the crew had to be constantly on his toes to preserve for you the many happy memories of the year and class of '46, We hope that we have been successful in doing just that, and that this issue of the Ship will be of interest to the underclassmen as well as to the seniors. MISS MARION CONANT Dedication To one who tries and does not fail, To one who smiles and relieves all fear Who so amazingly endures And directs us throughout the yearg To her, we dedicate this Ship .

We have an exception. foyce Wilson has brains and beauty, other than the fact that she can do chemistry. Her theme Meditation tells us a bit about what fopce is like. She is quiet, but not too much so: she likes to think and she'll accomplish' things. With your permission, jopce. may Ive dedicate Meditation to all the servicemen that have return- ed to school. MEDITATION He stood there in the shadow of the door, a smile lurking at the corner of his mouth. -Yet his eyes we e dim. Perhaps the smile was one of regretful memory--his personal way of hiding that lump in his throat--his way of suppressing that sigh within him. No one noticed him standing there. They were all so preoccupied, so busy, so noisy. They were a passing parade--a cavalcadg of laughter and color. He looked at the girl before him. She had such a nice laugh. Her shining eyes crinkled at the corners. Her carefree air and quick movements--they were so graceful. And she was 'augh1ng. She didn't have her algebra done. Suddenly a tall lanky boy came tearing up the hall, sending the innocent bystanders reeling against the wall. He had been like than once-always late-always in a hurry-never looking where he was going. He felt a sudden urge to rush into the hall swirling with people. He wanted some- one to speak to him--someone to come up and hit hi'n on the back and ask' him if he has his English done. He wanted to wear a bright plaid shirt: he wanted to sport a flashy tie and stockings that clashed. -But no one saw him standing there. It hurt. He had to admit it. It was strange to be standing here in the hall he knew so well, the hall he had walked so many t'mes, the hall he had spent so many hours in-- and not see some familiar face, some friendly smile--anything--anything at all that was the same. The shadow deepened. There was a basket ball game tonight: it was Friday--and everyone was excited. Gee, I hone it doesn't storm! Do you think it will? -- Whlat's going on at the club tonight? -- l' l meet you at Brown's at--- -- and so they babbled on. He would be at the game tonight. He would stand when the school song was played--on the other side of the room. He would know the cheers--but he couldn't cheer alone. There was talk of a formal next month. The girls excitedly discussed their new rowns--and the boys-well, they were 'earning to dance in three easy lessons. And they looked just a little worried. He glanced with indfference at the bulletin board--French Club--Commercial Club- -Home Etc. Club--they were all the same--yet different. The people were different: their ideas were different: their spirit was different. The sea of strange faces made him dizzy. The talk of things which didn't concern him made him shrink further into the shadow. He was like an eaves-dropper--a spy. He knew that it would be impossible to become one of them, And' suddenly he realized that he was glad he didn't have to. It was so strange, so unlike that school that he had known. He didn't like the feeling of change--he preferred to remember it as he had known it be- fore. He wanted to keep that memory a'one. He would put this scene out of his mind. Strange how things can change in such a short time--for it had been a short time. -Last year he had been a senior. ' joyce Wilson '46 Lefty is noted for his dark, romantic eyes and that weakness for Bangor gals!

Push to the rear, ladies and gentlemen. Lots of room for every- one, groans the bus driver. By the time you are able to get on, al' the seats are taken and most of the aisle is filled. You hand him your ticket, sharpen your elbows, lower your head, and push to the rear. You are packed like sardines when he is ready to leave. Your hopes rise high be- cause there are no more people to get on. He is about ready to start when two ,enormous people come running out of the statfon. They have decided they want to go too. lmmediately he starts to groan again, Push to the rear, folks. Lots of room. Lots of room for everyone Push to the rear, p'ease. You exhale, reduce yourself to a size smaller than before, and pack in still tighter. The only way the driver can get the door shut is by someone on the outside pushing xt. That packs us in still t'ghter. He gets the motor staxted after churning it for about hve m'nutes. We are at last on our way. We are going along too smooth'y. Something has to happen. My fears come true. Someone who is sitting by a windiow opens it. C'ose that window! Don't you use that head of yours for anything except a hat rack, yells someone behind me. Leave it open! It's hot up here. That blockhead back there doesn't know what he is talking about. yells another from the front. Immediately, a chorus of yells rise. The fellew by the window throws his hands in the air, pul's his hat over his eyes, and sinks down into his seat. After my ribs have been poked a thousand times and my feet constantly stepped on by the fat lady in front of me, we arrive at our destination. Again the groaner starts in, All change for bus to New Wade. Watch your step. Take your time. You start for the front. Someone pushes you in the back so that you hit the lady in front of you. She looks at you with a murderous gleam in her eyes. You are just getting ready to apologize when she pushes you in the other direction. You become a rubber ball bouncing back and forth between them. After a half-hour, you finaly get to the front. You climb off the bus and? start for the other one. Of course, it has its seats full before you get there. You begin to wonder if you can go through it again. You hand the driver your ticket, take a deep breath, lower your head again, and start pushing to the rear!

SENIORS AS SLI:lU'l'HS It was one of those beautiful autumn days which could be classed as one that was too nice to go to school, when jimmy and I were watching those sleek, silver, mam- moth C-54s of the Air Transport Command land at our local air base. H Oh. those ships, said jimmy with wide-eyed wonder. Every time I see one I just wish that I were up there flying it or at least enjoying the ride. Me too! I confirmed. But I've decided that it's no use wishing that any more. We can buy rides in those tiny Cubs over at Caribou ali we want, but it's just im- possible for civilians, especially at our age, to get a ride on an Army airplane. You're right, I suppose: but anyway let's hurry or we'll be late for school- and that wou'd be disastrous. Dismissing the thought from our minds, we hurried to school on the double. as they call it in the Army. The day wore on and finally I met jimmy in the study-hall as he came in for his regular study period. Each of us took a chair at the same table and talked the day's events over until the come to order bell. After the teacher came in and restored law and order, we all settled down to various tasks in our studies. Suddenly, a huge roaring of aircraft engines with frequent sputterisg blasts pierced the very atmosphere. Not a hundred feet o er the building flew a four engine C-54, whose nose was pointed directly toward Hardy Hil' which loomed straight in its path. Violent jerks and bounces shook the ship as it tore onward. By now. everyone in the study-hall had noticed the airplane, which was still head- ed toward unmistakable destruction. After the airplane c'eared the tall poplars of Hill- side Avenue, the nose dipped again. The ship flew straight and level. You sensed that the pilot and co-pilot were doing their utmost to gain altitudb. You. knew that by some freakish or mechanical disability the plane would not respond to its contro's. You knew that it was going to crash into the irregular pattern of fields on Hardyl Hill: and as you realized all this, a co'd chill ran up and down your spine, making every nerve in your body twitch with fear. Seconds seemed like hours, but - there - now - it was all over. The giant skybird, robbed of its controls. and failing to respond to man's will and strength. crashed into the hil'side with an ominous cracking and tearing. At the same instant as the propellers clawed up the rocky soil, sheets of vivid real flame leaped skywardf. The here enveloped the whole ship in a matter of seconds. The high octane gaso'ine burning with terrific heat and force, was slowly disintegrating the plane. For the rest of the period. different Questions were passed from table to table and person to person in muffled whispers. All these concerned the accident we had just viewed. Finally the bell which ended the period rang. Everyone rushed to his home room, for school was over for the day. As soon as we were dismissed, Jim and I grabbed our books and made our way out through the north door. Let's go home and get our cameras, joe, and we'll drive up to Hardy Hill and try to take some pictures! said Jim anxiously. Anticipating the wonderful photographs we could make, I immediately answered in the affirmative. We drove to our respective homes and obtained our cameras and flash equipment. Armed with these, we cautiously drove up Hardy Hill, where many people had already assembled. The air base fire department hadl ext'n'xuished the fire and the Anny personnel so'diers along with the men of the medical department were removing charred bodies from the wreck. Wasting no time, we brought out our cam- eras and proceeded to take pictures of various human-interest shots of rhe people and their different duties. Come on, joe, let's get closer and take a few pictures of the ship itself, sug- gested jimmy. Ho'ding our cameras high, we breezed past the guard and walked directly towards the airplane skeleton. Whew, whispered Jimmy in a relieved tone. We got by him, anyway! After taking pictures at different angies, we turned to head' back: but a gleam- ing object near where the door used to be caught my eye. Approaching the smoulder- ing ruins, I found that it was wedfged between the floor frame and door casing. It was some sort of medal or emblem that had an oblong hook on it. It seemed to have come from a watchfob. On it were different insignias, and on the reverse side, it had some wo'ds which seemed to be from the German language. Sensing that this might lead to the cause of the accident, we ran over to the Army Colonel's staff car. Pardon us, sir, I exclaimed as I reached the door, but we just found this wedged in a section of the plane where the door of the ship used to be. Maybe 1t'll lead to something and maybe not. The colonel's eyes lit up as he reached for the object, and he said', Leave your names and addresses, plus telephone numbers, with the lieutenant here. Yessir, we gulped, thinking that maybe we'd involved ourselves in some situation that we'd never get out of. After giving the lieutenant the necessary information, we hurried to our auto and silently drove home with not a wordf spoken by either of us. See you in the morning, I to'd Jimmy as I closed the car door. Yeah, if we're still around, he laughingly rep'ied. - At school the next moming, Jimmy and I hardly spoke to each other. Then dur- ing one of mv periods, I was called out to the office by the principal. Upon arriving there, I saw jimmy with a worried look on his face. . Boys, said Mr. Cunningham, the colone' at the air field called me and asked me if Id excuse you for a while this morning. There's nothing I can do, but let you go - and you better hurry, it's important. Yessir, we said as We went out. At the main gate, the colonel had an esco there to meet us. He was the very same lieutenant who had taken our names the da before Upon our being ushered into the Air Corps Colonel's office, he happily shook hands with us and offered congratulations at the same time. Would you mind telling us what this is all about, sir? inquired Jimmy. Well, that ornament you boys found yesterday o-nly led to the arrest of a large network of saboteurs, disguised as aircraft mechanics. They've been operating through- out the whole Ndrth Atlantic Division, and we've never been able to lay a finger on this fifth column work. Is there any little favor that you boys would like to have done, just out of appreciation? asked the colone'. Well-well, I mean-could- Anything, name anything, cut in the colonel. Well, suggested jim. If we got our parents' consent, cou'd we have a ride in one of your locally-based airplanes? Positively! I'm sure after what you youngsters have done for the pilots here that they would give vou a ride, he answered with a twinkle in his eye.

She has done well and has composed many selections, from Ivlfch we have chosen a poem very cleverly written, commemorating the bfrthdau of our sixteenth pres- ident. Congratulations to you, Bette. We hope you do as well in the future. LINCOLN A tall gaunt-faced boy with an unruly shock of jet black hair on his forehead, Walked hand in hand by the river with a thin s'ip of a girl: In the air-there was happiness. A tired, carewom figure, dressed in black, wearily sat at his desk And with a su'e. firm hand, cast the die that meant the d'fferen':e between living and dying for so many- The Proclamation of Emancipation. This was a night for relaxation, This was a night for pleasure. The name of the theatre was Ford A shot rang out-the once proud head slumped forward into everlasting rest. In Washington the'e is a temple: Inside that temple sits a man of granite. And the wal's of this temple are covered with words of his wisdom, And the floor is well-worn by the feet of his worshipers. Bette Gonya '46 A junior can loolg at Life, I suppose, but isn't it more restful to look at Eloise? She hardly ever gets mad, until some inquiring individual asks her if she uses peroxide. The answer is NO, dejinitelyl I lvouldvft advise anyone to bring up the subject unless he has connections with foe Louis or Billy Conn! A JUNIOR LOOKS AT LIFE Yes, some juniors look at LIFE to know what is going on at the present time: still others look at it and find many of the things amusing: and last of all some juniors don't look at LIFE. This is wrong. for instead of reading funny books, they should begin to take some interest in this world of ours. Oh, yes, I know many of the everyday happenings in LIFE are horrible, but many thinvs in LIFE are pleasant and good For myself, I feel that it is my duty to look at LIFE, so that I may see what is going on in the world of today and strive to correct the mfstakes of today and make the worl:l of tomorrow a better place to live in. If we look at LII-'E and see the poor starved people of Europe, we would under- stand why our generation wants to change all this. When you have looked at them, slowly tuxn the pages of LIFE and' see the extreme opposte of these poor people. See the movie stars. Look at the splendor of their homes. Look at their magnificent and beautiful clothes, and then stop and think. Why shoud they have ro much while other people starve? It's all in LIFE. There are manv good things in LIFE too. Everything is not cruel. There is not always a murder and a slaughter of in:io'ent people. But if you don't look for the good thinrs in LIFE, you won't find them. ' I know of many juniors, who. if asked about LIFE could' not tel you anything about it. But you will never stick me, for I lfnow what it is: It's a magazine w'th articles, and pictures, that vou can huv on any news-stand throughout the country for only ten-cents! Yes, sir, that's LIFE! Eloise Peterson '47 In the theme Why Tallr When You Can Listen , Arline Hartt ill'1st'ates her point of view on si'ence'. I think we all can agree that she is more than 9fl0, per cent right. Arline has proved to us that she rates at the top of the list as a theme-writer. All the best of luch in the future, Arline. WHY TALK WHEN YOU CAN LISTEN There was once a famous general who could remain silent in seven different lan- guages. Although this se-ms rather sil'y it definitely has its points. When we listen to the aimless chatter of the many people whom we hear day after day, we often wondier how they can talk so much and say so little. This does not aoplv exclusively to girls. Did you ever listen in on a conrersation of boys? If you have, you understand what I mean. People seem to think that the only reason they have a head is so that they can lis- ten and tell someone else what they've heard. Did you ever see a really briiliant person in a group dissussion? He doesn't talk much, but just sits the e listening to the other people's points of view. Then when he does say something, it carries weight. Socrates, the great philosopher, said, Know thyself, but you can't really know yourself if you talk all the time. All the world loves a good listener. You learn much more from listening than you ever do, or will, from talking. The next time you are in a group discussion, listen instead of talking. Who knows what you may learn? Arline Hartti '47 fosie is one of our favorite juniors. She has a most charming persona 'ity and she always has a may of making friends. In her theme The Art of Killing Time she portrays one, jo Anne Lovely, in real life. It isn't harcl to picture the scene of the theme. It is easy to see that Iosie will have good luck in the future. THE ART OF KILLING TIME This art which I have acquired recently has proven very helpful when used the correct way. Of course when this cleiicate art is abused it can become extremely harmful. fTake it from one who knows. I received a book on the side of the head. . . Sears and Roebuck at that, when I was stalling and my short-tempered brother was in a hurry., I am usually very successful though, provided conditions are in my favor. Here is a good example of careful maneuvering. The time is about 6: I 5 P.lVI. We are just finishing supper when the telephone rings. That's probably for mel I say jumping for the receiver. No, it's for me, AIIen's suppose .... With the usual scramb'e, Dana gets to the 'phone just a second before me. Hello, answers Dana. Hi, replies the voice. Is this vou, Dana? Ya, my brother says: then turning to me, See, I told you. The conversation continues, while I lounge in a chair with my feet dangling over the side. Soon the session ends with Dana's saying, Oh, I'II see you in a half an hour. I pricked up my ears, Are you going to town ? Yes I 2:Wel'! You could have at least told me. Perhapsl would like to make a few p ans. I called up I..i1 and she said to come down about seven or after. There now, I'll be there too early. Well. I'll fix that! This question always ca'Is for an argument. Dana, may I wear your V-necked sweater? No, the last time you wore mv plaid jacket, and when I wore it again, everybody thought I was wearing your clothes. PIease. ll 'l . Well, this goes on and on, in the end I run upstairs without the sweater and a voice behind me says, You can also bring my sportshirt down that you wore a week ago. At this time it is 6:35, I was hurrying andl ran downstairs. There I am all ready and it is only 6:40! We final'y get out in the car, all ready to go. Oh, Dana! I have forgotten my hankyln At 7:00 P.lVI. on the button we drive through Main Street in the brightly lighted little city of P.I. Dana has a scowl on his face and I, a smug look of triumph. ' .Io Ann Lovely '47 Avis Zippel, more commonly known as Zip for even Carmen Mirandal, has been the enlightening subject of our four years in hfgh school. She has been active in most clubs and committees, especially as Crinds Editor of the Log and Sh?p .

I Avis Zippel '46 H Carroll Knox, author of For Whom the Bell Tolls. should Probably thank Mr. Hemingway for his engaging title. But one day we all borrowed titles from either the literary masters or Hollywood scenarists, and Carroll wrote the following: FOR WHOM THE. BELL TOLLS The morning is filled with the sound of a busy neighborhood. All the men of the vicinity have gone to work at their various jobs. The chi dren have gone to school, and the'wives are left to do their housework. From the earth rises a heavy fog which is the result of early spring rains, jand it has a tendency to conceal all happenings from the eyes of gossipers. However, since this is true, no one notices the l929 Dodge which swings around the corner and stops at the first house on the street. At nearly regular intervals it moves on to the next house. At each stop, a somewhat short and stocky man wearing a blue suit and straw colored hat steps out, reaches into the rear of the car and puls out a bulging suitcatse. Often arranging his tie, he walks jauntily up the walk and rings the doorbell. All soats of women greet him dur'ng the morning and ask him into the house. Frequently he has to hold his suitcase between himself and a snariing dog until the lady locks her pet up or ties it to a stove leg. For a short time he remains in each residence and then reappears and moves on to the next. All goes smoothly unt'l he steps up to the front door of the last house on the street, and, hearing a nundmer of noises upstairs which he thinks might be housewife do- ing her spring cleaning, he rings persistently. A more fatal mistake could not have been made, for when the door at last bursts open, there, to the poor man's surprise, is the hus- band who was just getting ready for a nap while his wife was away doing her shopping. The salesman makes a dash for his car, but his pursuer isn't as sleepy as he looked. When the battle which follows finally dies away and the dust clears. it is the Fuller Brush Man for whom the bell tolls. Carroll Knox '47 Not so long ago our photographic expert was just a mere unknown freshman trying hard to do his best worlz. faclfs hard work has been rewarded this year by recognition of his theme Dottie , a light and amusing theme about a faithful friend. We know you all join us in wishfrg jack all the best in the future. DOTTIE Dottie and I, devoted to each other as we were, used' to go everywhere together. She and I even thought alike at times. We enjoyed practically the same things, 'istening to good music. and just staying home I think that Dottie liked ice cream more than any- one else I know. I liked it myself, and the ice cream bill at the end of the month was something awful! Then, too, we used to go for long walks, especiaily on bright, crisp winter evenings. We walked without speak'ng, admiring the various scenes that met our eyes. Often we would be gone for several hours, arriving home in the small hours of the morning. Time meant nothing to us, for it was just another pitfall in the course of our lives. evident only when we were apart. We both enjoyed walking, but hunting was our favorite pastime. Most any chiily autumn day would find us afield in quest of grouse or pheasant. One needn't ask Dottie if she were enjoying herself, as just one look at her sparkling brown eyes was answer enough. Years passed and the bond between us strengthened at every turn. One January day I saw Dottie coming up the street and a car coming behind her. Suddenly the car slid on the icy street and struck Dottie. I ran and picked her up and started for the house but before I reachedf the door, Dottie had died in my arms. Well, that was fifty years ago, and here in I996, this old fool, too old to hunt, sits in his easy chair still thinking of the best dog a man ever had for a friend.

But P. 1. still likes your poetry. BATAAN AND CORREGIDOR We shall remember the faith that fought In the fox holes of Bataan. The haggard, hungered, fevered men In a long, heroic stand. We shall remember valiant souls, The withering blast they bore, And long-drawn months, the fearful odds, The dwindling stretch of shore. We shall remember the blackness On our souls as the flash came through: Bataan is lost-l-low awful! We were too late and too few. We shall remember the desperate seige ln the fort of Corregidor, 'l'ill the last gr'm gun was silenced And men could fight no more. We shall remember a plunging fire, :The raking Army guns, The burning eyes, that scoured the skies, For help that did not come. We shall remember they kept their faith! These devoted, and steady men, When Corregidor, in glory fe'l lror it stood dauntless to the end. We shall remember two honored names As one in valor and fame: Bataan ancl Corregiclor shall live And bum as a holy flame. We shall remember a victory Won in the hearts of menz When a final count is taken, We shal remember them. 1 x V1 md Quest 1 ,7 Evelyn Leach '47 . 71 vf' I r ni II .e N A -,nm - ,1 , ' in 22111 Jwwff 35,07 ,na'l: :Ng ,144 ' X W A vi 'Q' f 5 ww - ' 2 7 , :V -'Q5.::Nil.fA'- Of- 'fs Q- X 7 ,M -bxx I' if M M Q Administration J Principal Franklin S.

I. powerhouse. fDuring this time it is taken for granted that Tutt e and the guards weren't just standing aroundj. This year our arch rivals, namely - Caribou, beat us. I think this was due to the experience and height advantage they enjoyed. Next year will be our year. W 5 We were fortunate in havlng some good subs in Hayes, Barbour, J. Adams, Carlson, and H. Adams. Our season didn't start off quite so well, losing the first three, but then we got roll- ing. We ended with a record of ll and I0 for the season, inc'uding an upset over Stearns and a number of scrappy, close games with other big-name teams. So, I guess we leave the bucket sport until the I946-47 season, when we hope we can say - LOOK OUT, Eastern Maine!

F. F. A. BASKETBALL 1945-I946 The Presque Isle High School Chapter of Future Farmers of America had a successful basketbail team again this past season. The squad under the leadership of their new coach, Mr. Keegan, has had a falr team considering the new type of defense which was played. The boys started out very slow at first losing the first few games. The man-to-man defense was difficult for the boys, but next year the F.F.A. Basketball team should be a better club since only two of the whole squad wil be absent from the squad. .1 Russ Akeley was high scorer, but all of the boys were very near each other in scoring. The record was I3 wins and IO losses. P. l. Future Farmers 26 F, F, A, Alumni 27 H U 25 Madawaska H. S.

FROSl-l BASKETBALL The Frosh basketeers were handicapped by size and experience this season, but through some good, hard work and their willingness to earn, they improved' rapidly. 'Mac' Andrews, 'Pat' Gagnon, Bob Cary, Phil Stoddard, and B. Tompkins teamed up to make the first string: while Bufnett and Adams very often hurled their frail forms into the battle and mixed up the oppositon with their faking and speed. While their winning percentage wasn't l,000, Coach Hanna produced a fighting team that everyone liked to see play. JV BASKETBALL The JV's had a comparatively good season, winning 5 and losing 7 against tough competition. They played 7 varsities and really gave them a tussle. The members of the team are as follows: Tarbell. Barbour, Wilder, Etscovitz, Adams, Greenier, MacDonald, Car'son, Thompson, Beaulieu, Seeley, McPherson, Bailey and Walton. Next season should be a very good one with almost al' of the players returning. TRACK - l945 SEASON , Coach Thompson, in bidding farewell to PIHS, produced a banner tracki team in spite of numerous difficulties. The team smothered Caribou in a dual meet and then lost the county meet in the last event, the weights. All meets were he'd in Presque Isle atl 'the Fairgrounds. The members of the squad were: . R. Tompkins, B. Etscovitz, C. Winslow, F. Adams, S. Tompkins, C. Tuttle, P. Hayes, C. Higgins, R. Everett, D. Morton, E. Roope, and C. Winslow, manager. Next year, with Coach Wallace back, we hope to have another good year in the sprint and punt sport. CROSS COUNTRY The cross country team didn't compete in any meets this year because of late starting and early winter. There were however, a few diiigent joggers who practiced faithfully withC hWll .l' ' 5 ' ' oac a ace t is felt certain that the h.ll and dale sport will swing into high next autumn. GIRLS' SPORTS ON TRIAL Scene: Court room at P. I. I-I. S. Time: Present. Your honor, 'et us assume that l'm a lawyer fighting my own case. As defendant. I plead innocent, and as my own attorney, I demand the release of my client NOT on the grounds of insanity, as pred cted, but on the grounds that my client's statements are very true. I shall review the case again for your benefit, because you are acting as the jury. lVly client was caught doing push-ups in the P. I. H. S. gym and was taken to jail. Why? Because evidently young ladies participating in sports or calisthenics are not abiding by the schoo' law. When my client was asked why she did those harmful, physical tactics, as authorities called 't. she exclaimed with sudden surprise, Why, what little maneuvering around that I did certainly didn't do me any harm. If anything. it did me more good. It relieved my mind from those routine study classes, relaxed and moved those musc'es that had never been moved before. My client's voice dropped for a breath: then she interrupted an authority who had started to speak. Taking part in sports builds strong minds and strong bodies and should be en- couraged in all walks of life as well as in s2hoo'. Athletic trafning is not a handicap, in this dav and age. but a great advantage. After her last statement she left the authorities standing very silent, as I hope she has left you. The jury wil' now withdraw and bring back a verdict as soon as possible. Unt'l then, court is adjourned. BASEBALL, I945 SEASON In the I945 season, the first in quite a few years, the baseball team piled up an excellent record of ten wins and three losses. Fort, the county champs, was the victor in two of the three losses and Caribou won the other. The outlook for next year's team is very bright with I0 out of I4 lettermen back. With a litt'e more experience the team should shape up to be a corker. The thriller of the season was the Caribou game at home. The game was tied going into the ninth inning. When Caribou decided to break loose, they pushed across three runs. P. I. came up to bat pretty dismal y, but full of fighfng spi Qt P. I. got four hits and rolled in two runs. Reggie Tompkins came up and banged out a double, but got caught in a run down. Then it happened! l There was a hasty throw by the second baseman and its stopped in the midd e of the race track. Reggie scored, ofcourse, and that was the game-7 to 6, in favor of P. I. The players and their positions are as follows: Pitchers: Seeley. Plummer. F. Adams, V. Tarbell First: Cvr. Brown Second: Sweeney, Hayes, Creenier Third: Tompkins Short: Blackwell Catchers: Barbour, ll.

Julian Turner gave a great display of skiing ability in the down hill at Quoggy joe by tying the favored Ouel ette of Ashland. In the slalom, P. l. hit the bottom when Turner fell and was stuck in the snow. Ronnie was way off the beam in the jump when he jumped too soon. The cross country was a bad beating for P. l. Phil Glid- den had to break the trail. John Downing hurt his ankle, and Morton just had a tough time. Another factor in the cross country was the skis. Ashland and Caribou had regular racing skis and boots. It was a very discouraging event when a little fe low with light skis whizzed past and we had to carry those great big hickory boards around the lake. Bob Grendell was in there in every event, and he promises to be one of P. l.'s outstanding athletes. Next year P. I. can expect a winning season with Car- michael, Crrendel', Akeley, Gooding and Phil'p Champ Perrigo coming out on top in every event. And, boys, please take care of that Ouellette. Julian Turner was elected captain and Douglas Morton manager at a recent meeting. Keith Titcomb, Arthur Seavey, Phil Beaulieu, Don Stone, Eugene Thibo- deau. and the others mentioned above are a'l looking forward to a good season next year.
