E wish to acknowledge our most sincere gratitude to all who lhave helped to make this issue of the TATTLER a success. The teachers of the High School have been especially interested and have given valuable advice and assistance. We centainly are indebted to the sup- porters of the school who lhave made pos- sible rbhe publication of this issue of the TATTLER by their advertisements and in- :terest in all school affairs. We want to thank all others who have in any sway helped. There has been splendid coopera- tion, and we have tried to make the paper more interesting than ever this year. Editor-in-chief .ll. I. IV., '32, MORE FRIENDLY INTEREST BETWEEN SCHOOLS HERE should be more friendly inter- est between schools. With all the outside activities that schools now have, we -should cooperate. What one school might :not do alone could be done by the united feffont of all the schools in the county. Tlhe-re are at present many ties which connect us. We have a speaking league in which Kingfield, Rangeley, Strong and Phillips take pant. Athletics connect schools probably more rth-an an-y other ac- tivity. We exchange school papers and a copy of each paper is kept in the library of each- school. By these we can learn about all the activities of other schools. A few years ago it would not have been possible to exchange interests as it is today. Schools did not have so much in comimon, and we would not have been able to visit so easily. In all thine activities, competition is keeng especially in athletics it is very natural 'to keep almost foreign to the op- posing teams. We become more acquainted with the school buildings than we do with the students. In speaking there is very little oppontunity to get acquainted. My plan is to get, between schools, some 'activities which do not have so much com- petition. Schools could exchange dramas 8 THE TATTLER and get not only the helpful experience of presenting the play and money for tlhe treasury, but they could promote a friendly interest between schools as well. For instance, it 'has been suggested that the Senior class in Rangeley present their play in Phillips with the cooperation of the Phillips Seniors in advertising and manag- ing. Tlhe Phillips class could get the profit there and their play could be presented in Rangeley under the same conditions. If each individual would do his part in promoting good feeling, our schools would all progress and each would be benefited. Editor-in-chief M. I. W., '32, WHAT INSPIRES US AT RANGELEY ECAUSE of the location of Rarngeley High School we get a wonderful view. In the distance we see a small moun- tain. In the fall when the leaves are changing it is as if Old Mother Nature 'had run over the trees and left her tracks of red, yellow, green and brown still cling- ing to them. At the foot of the mountain is the 'Gia famous Rangetley Lake, noted for its trout .and salmon. At this end of the lake is a large boathouse. Many a jolly crowd 'has .started from 'here after school for a picnic supper at Captain Haley s lunch ground and afterwards enjoyed a ride around the lake in one of Mr. Haley's boats. We can also see Dallas Hill, sometimes called Sunset Hill. From here one can see Moosellookmeguntic Lake and Gull Pond, besides get-ting a splendid view of the vil- lage and Rangeley Lake. Many summer people go to this 'hill to 'watch the beautiful sunsets. From the English, room, we -see Mount Saddleback, the- second highest mountain in Maine. Last fall the Senior and Junior classes climbed it and everyone said it was quite an adventure. In faot, a group of them got off on the wrong trail and didn't arrive home until after dark. No matter in which direction you wish to look you will see mountains or lakes. It makes a perfect hideaway for the sports- man who plans to try his luck at fishing or hunting. Assistant Editor M. f.

She 'has cer- tainly been very much. interested in the members and thas helped to make the orchestra a success. It is composed of six instruments: piano, Anna Koch, Marie Tibbettsg drums, Fredrich Harndeng vio- lins, Lyla Kane, Ruth Boulter, Earle Haley, and an accordion, Leroy Nile. They have played at Parent Teacher's meetings and other school activities, under the supervision of Miss Higgins. A. K., '32. GLEE CLUB THE Glee Club lhas been one of the most popular aotivities in Rangeley High School this year. It was organized by Miss Priscilla Hig- gins, -our music teacher, in September. At the first meeting the following officers were chosen: President . ....................... Ruth Boulter Secretary and Treasurer .......... Doris Kidder Rehearsals are held once a week at which songs are rehearm for coming programs. The Glee Club 'has sung several times at Assembly, Friday mornings. It has also presented musical numbers at Parent Teachers meetings. On the twenty-third of january, the Glee Club with Miss Pullen and Miss Higgins hiked to Gull Pond about two miles away. Everyone had a fine time. On the whole, the -study of music has been very interesting tlhiis year, thanks to Miss Higgins' expert management. D. K., '32. PRIZE SPEAKING LAST year, Anna Marchetti and George Prescott represented Rangeley in t-he prize speaking contest. Although both speakers did well, Rangeley did not bring home a cup.

TEWU E IT WAS FUNNY NCLE PETER came in at the gate wearing a checkered suit and derby to spend the day with us. I showed him into the parlor and was about to tune in on Station KUKU when I heard a loud thump. Uncle was lying on his back on our neiwfly-oiled Hoor. Slowly he arose to lhlis feet again when my small son rode 'in on his tricycle.-Col1ision!- Uncle was on the floor again, this time on his stomach. There was no end to Uncle's patience. Once more he arose to his feet and made his way to the divan. He had just got settled when a bee came buzzing in at tlhe open window. Seeing marvelous possibilities in Uncle's big, red nose, fthe bee proceeded to sit upon it. Thereupon Uncle lunged from the divan and stamped furiously about the room. In his pain and anger he took no notice of the colored maid carrying in the morning coffee. He collided into her, head first, the tray flew upward and upon descending met infter- ference in the shape of uncle's bald lhead. Not stopping to aid the maid to her feet, Uncle strode out to the hall, took 'his hat and with a muttered imprecaition about go- ing home to peace and quiet started for the door. However, the phone rang and fh-e proceeded to answer it. The voice at the other end of the wire informed him that his house was alire. This being the TTLER 21 last straw, Uncle sank wearily into a near- by chair. But 'he jumped up as quickly as h-e sat dowvn. Investigation brought to light a belated hat pin. Uncle strode furi- ously to the porch and descended the steps - Sh-llip - Bumpety - bump. This time Urncle sat on the bottom step rubbing his head and cursing the banana peel, which was the cause of this last misfortune. Glancing up at me he pathetically sug- gested I take him fto the insane asylum where he could lhave a little sleep and a minority of peace, as a majority of that quality siinply was not. R. P. B,. '33, A QUIET STUDY PERIOD WAS trying to study, fthe first time in weeksj but it was impossible. My next door neighbor seemed to want something but Ruth Boulter and Willa Tomlinson were staging some kind of a 'talking con- test, and as I couldn't understand her whispering, I mumbled something and started writing again. Soon somebody wanted to know the title of my theme. I said I hadn't decided but that wasn't enough, she had to read what I had writ- ten. It took her qu-ite a 'While to puzzle it out and then to make comments on it. I had just started writing again when a note arrived to be passed to the person in front of me. I was racking my brain for more theme material when I heard Mr. Tilton send Phil Keep home to do a little studying before the bell rang as he had been making too much disturbance parlez-vous ing with Hiram Taylor. My 'hopes of getting my English theme done were low, but they went lower when I saw Jeanne Badger start up the aisle to study with Harlene. I looked at the clock and hope vanished completely. It was itwen-ty minutes af-ter eleven and Mr. Til- ton had started up to ring the bell. I started to English class trying to think of a sufiicient excuse for not having my theme done. F. E. F., I33. 22 THE TATTLER THE HOUSE WITHOUT KNOBS T was a dark, windy night in the small town. 'Dwo girl-s, about twenty-One years of age, were the only travelers in the dark street. They both carried suitcases. They -stopped before an unlighted, old house. This can't be the place! one of them exclaimed. The other girl was flashing her light around the door and she came to a number. But it -said n-umber nine and this is it, she remarked. Is there a knob on the door, Pam? They searched in vain, however, for about five minutes, then Pam remarked: I have it, Helen, in his will, Grandfather said that doors without knobs were opened by buttons hidden in the casing around it. They began to search diligently and soon found the button. When the door opened it disclosed a long -hall running the entire length of the house. It looked wierd and ghostly to the two girls. They both turned instinctively to the door, but 'to their dismay it was shut and they couldn't find a knob or button to open it. There was nothing to do but make the best of it so they started down the hall. They had gone about 'half way wfhen two white figures stepped out of a door. One of them 'had a 'hammer and he raised it to bring it dovwrn on the other one's head. The girls turned to fiee but they found themselves facing an immobile line of white figures. One stepped forward and said, in a stern voice, Halt, you are tres- passing on private haunted ground, and you have seen too much to leave this house alive. But Pam broke out eagerly, we won't 'tell that we saw you kill - Slhe was interrupted, Stop! the white figure cried, I have spoken. Throw them in the dungeon, men! The girls gave a shriek as the fioor be- neath them gave way. They felt them- selves falling, then - splash! Tshey landed in some ice cold water. They sprang out and their groping 'hands came in con- tact with something furry. It felt like bear's fur. They heard a growl and some- thing hit them, wnding them through the aiir again. They landed on something soft. Instantly they both sprang up. Then they became awiare of laughter over at the other side of the dungeon. They called asking who it was. The lights :were turned on and-Pam felt someone shaking her. She opened 'her eyes and there stood her brother grin- ning at rh'er. L. H., '33. RED PAINT NE day while exploring in the bam I discovered a can of beautiful red pain-t. My mi-schievous nature getting the best of me, I naturally wanted to try the paint out. I rummaged around until I found a brush. Then having everything ready I set to work. I panted and struggled nearly all morn- ing on my supposed masterpiece of art and finally finished it. I then stood back and surveyed it with satisfaction. Not being satisfied by having to admire my own work, I went into the house and asked Dad to come out and see his future artis't's work. Dad declined at first, but I insisted so finally he came out with me. He strolled out into the barn idly looking around till his eyes focused on my supposed art. He then gazed in astonishment! When he came out of his first shock, he started raving and stamping around while Bess, a once white cow, stood plac-idly chewing her cud in a new coat of paint. G. R., '34. DXING N the third fioor of the building at '711 Fifth Avenue, an announcer steps quietly across the padded fioor to the THE TA Ohlinese gong under a m-icnophone and stands poised with a felt padded hammer in his hand. With his eyes he iwfatched the second hand of the large studio clock. Be- ihlind the plateglass in the control room an engineer with earphones is awaiting his signal. As the hour is reached by the hands of -the clock a wavering signal floats over the room followed by a short steady one. A red light flashes from the wall, the padded hammer falls. Three tones from the chimes, fifteen seconds past the hour and another chain program is ready to go on the air. The announcer directs a few word-s to the microplhlone and in less than five seconds the strains of a dreamy theme are floating from four million loud speak- ers from Maine to California and from Mex-ico to Canada. Six thousand miles of telephone wire is surging with electrical impulses as it carries the program to sixty associated stations in a national hookup from Coast to Coast. What romance there is behind the scenes of a broadcasting studio! Nobody knows the time and labor it takes to put a fifteen minute broadcast on the air. Hours of rehearsals, thousands of words of printed script, and above all these, absolute associ- ation among the stations relaying the broadcast. Is not this reason enougih for my love of radio? Am I not justified in spending from sixty to sixty-five 'hours a week at my radio? How foolish you are, I have been told, to waste so much time listening to some crazy broadcast when you might be doing something else more aworthwhile? Wh'at could I find more worthwhile than an evening by my radio with my oomplete program before me? Perhaps if some people who criticize me and call me other things beyond my vocabulary, should spend a quiet evening at home and not at pool rooms and gambling houses, they too might find tlhe radio worthwhile. Besides giving me a pastime the radio has introduced me to a man whom I love as ------.-l., TTLER R an olderi brother-Lowell Thomas. It was a year ago that I first wrote to him and to my surprise, in a week 'a letter came back. It was simple but it started me off on a great friendship. All it said was, Many thanks for writing me that inter- esting letter. I was delighted to get it. 'Cordially yours, Lowell Thomas. I have written him many times since, sending him newspaper clippings for his broadcasts and funny stories to make him laugh. I might give a hundred more reasons for my love of radio, but to mention them all would take time. I might say that every :actor on tlhe air is good and I like them all. Q L. N., J34. ON BEING OLD FASHIONED TIME: In the age of Pericles. PLACE: A small two-story lhouse in Athens. CHARACTERS! A Greek and his wife and SON. Mr. Greek: What think ye these ridicu- lous Sophists are teach-ing our children? Only yesterday in the market place I heard one of them telling the young how that the sun was not Apollo but was a mass of rock which flew around the earth. It is absurd. Mrs. Greek: Art thou telling me those 'trouble makers are leading our sons astray? Mr. Greek: Yea: what I would not give to see the color of that man's insides. Mr. Greek'S son sticks his 'head through the door and says: Father, methinks' thou art filled with the oil from the olive. TIME: 1932 A. D. PLACE: A house anywhere in the U. S. w!here old people live. CHARACTERS! An American and his wife and son. Mr. Yankee: Wifey, what do you think of the things they're teaching Tom and' Jane? Why, Jane is taught sewing, house- work, etc., and so on, where you lhad to learn yourself. They teach Tommy astronomy and all that bunk. M THE T After he raves on like that for an hour his wife speaks: I never see the beat of it, I'l1 bet them astronomers 'have pictures stuck in their telescopes to fool people 'like us. Mr. Yankee'5 son sticks his head through the door and says: Dad, you 're full of prune juice. But Mr. Yankee's son will be old fash- ioned when he grows up, too. That 's the way wi-th life. P. B., '35. THE MYSTERIOUS DRIVER ACH year in Heatiherdale, which was a small -town up in the North, there was but one big event of the year, and that was the Dog Team Race. It was the last week before the race when a young mysterious girl arrived in Heatherdale. She lived on a lonely farm about six miles from the village. No one ever saw her from -the first day when she got off the train. It was the day for the big race. There were about ifive teams to compete in the race. To everyone's surprise a team was listed without a driver. The 'team fwas made up of Husloies. 'Dhey lined up, and when the gun went off they started with a loud bark. .As they neared the farm of the mysteri- ous girl they stopped and a person, whom everyone thought was a man, jumped on the sled and was off with them. The stretch for the 'race was ten miles long and a round-about road. The new team was far behind until about two miles from the goal they gradu- ally gained on the others. Just as the goal appeared the dogs gave one big bound and came breast to breast with the 'head team. The Huskies stretched their whole length and were just a head before the first team. When the Coup was awarded to the driver of the Huskies, it was a surprise to every- one to find that the mysterious girl was the owner of the team. She had kept in seclu- ATTLER sion, as she was a young girl in a nearby boarding school and was not allowed to leave the school during vacations. Slhe had mysteriously disappeared the week before the race when her rich father had pre- sented her with this new team of dogs. Slhe had rented this farm unbeknown to anyone -to get her dogs in training for this race. W. T., '33. A 1002, BOY S I gaze around the classroom, I am attracted by the strange actions of one of my classmates, a merry, dark-eyed fellow vwvhose mischievous escapades cause some disturbance in classes. At present he is trying to get tihe atten- tion of his neighbor, without receiving the teascher's. First -he whispers under cover of a yawn, Get ready for a good joke, and proceeds to telfl fit. Apparently it was very funny, as a smile appears on the face of the listener, wihvich widens alarmingly, his shoulders begin to shake like a Ford engine, and a cough is heard which 'sounds so much like a snicker, that the teacher glances in that direction suspiciously. Im- mediately, both boys became very much oin- terested in a particular problem in Algebra. The teacher resumes his class, and a sigh of relief escapes the mischief-makers. Quiet for the s-pace of a second, a fur- tive glance in the direction of the teacher, a sudden look of daring-SLAP-down comes -his ruler on the unsuspecting back of the fellow in front of -him. The poor fellow mutters something to the effect of, Wait for -recess, lunk-ears! Next the mischief-maker fishes into his pockets, and brings to light a package of Spearmint gum, the rustling of paper, a stretch, a yawn,-pop-his jaws move furtively. Come on, Scotty, give us a piece of your rubber, wfhispers the fellow back of -him. Buy your own jaw-releaser! With that he slxides down in his seat, and with a smug smile of satisfaction, proceeds to THE T 'study- Cowboys of the Wil-d West, which he ilras concealed from the teacher by propping an English notebook before it. Ten minurtes pass, during which time, the story becomes exciting and his jaws begin to masticate alarmingly. Are you chewing gum? If so, put it in the wastebasketf' T'he would-be cowboy is brought to real-ity. His face becomes crimson, he stutters, protests and then sheepishnly walks to the nwtastebasket to the tune of his classmates' giggles. As he 'comes back :he falls over the feet of one of his classmates and sprawls into his seat, in a very undignified manner, to say the least. With which he busies himself with a slfing shot for the remainder of the period. R. P. B., '33. A LULL IN THE SEASON HE summer is usually a busy time, especially for the pupils as they try to have as much fun as possible in the few weeks of vacation allowed them, but some- times there will be a day uwlhen everything seems to be asleep. The town is settled and quiet, the sun shines forth with a A TTLER M brilliant glow, and there is a dusty appear- ance about the streets. It is on a day like this when one might wish to be near a 'sea- shore and ihear the water lapping against the rocks, but there doesn't seem to be any such luck, and you are lounging around in a dissatisfied state when suddenly the tele- phone rings: Would you like to spend the week-end at my caimp on the seashore? With pleasure, or -something of the sort that means Yes wwi-ll surely be the answier. Suddenly everything aawiakens, the fam- -ily begins to hurry back and forth getting but one person ready for the vacation trip to the seashore. There is a shout from the top of the stairs and someone hurries to the summons to receive a bunch of clothes in tihe face land an order to get them pressed in a hurry. Finally everything is in readiness and the 'important member of the family has gone on her valcation, and the family set- tles back to their peace and comfort and the world goes on, as though nothing had ever happened.

N Vaf 7 Un Q A STUDY PERIOD NE dark and stormy day, In the main room of R. H. S. I was diligently trying to study, But fooling more or less. My neighbors before and beside me, With their books piled high on their desks: Were whispering to one another, As only they knew best. I turned first to my French book But, who can do parlez-vous When your lively next-door-neighbor, Is poking and punching you. Burke's Speech on Conciliation I turned my mind to next, But tongue-twisting words like those, Make up a difficult text. Now, it 's time for the bell, And Tilt has left the room So this poem f??J must oome to an end, And I guess it 's none too soon. D. K., '32. ODE TO THE SENIORS ELL me not in mournful numbers, That our studies are almost o'er, That we 'll meet no more, to work or play As in the days of yore. 'Tis funny when you think of it How we 've scolded about our work, Even the slightest task we 've had, We 've always tried to shirk. 1 But now when it 's all ended We shall wish we were back again To share our joys and sorrows, In sunshine or in rain. But to start out on life's pathway We, all of us must go, Our goal is on before us Be it high or be it low. So let us be up and doing And strive to do our best For the best is not hard to attain If we work with all our zest. So, farewell, classmates, one and all, May our paths cross once in a while Let our hearts be glad, instead of sad As we prove our worth with a smile L. K., ' 2 A MODERN SIR LANCELOT H, you, who have read of Lancelot, And heard of his mighty fame, Remember his love for Guinevere And how he deserted Elaine. In the olden days his power Was regarded by all, in awe, And nine fair diamonds were awarded htm, According to the law. In manners and in stature He excelled o'er all the land, And in these modern days Would be called a ladies' man . Although he loved King Arthur, And was his right-hand man, Yet he loved fair Guinevere, Arthur's Queen of the land. But now the modern Lancelot, Instead of going to war Goes forth with mighty golf clubs, To make a hole in par. While Guinevere, the Queen of beauty, Instead of attending the bloody frays, Saunters forth to a game of bridge And passes her time with matinees. To those who read this little tale May it be a lesson, To go forth and find your Guinevere Before she weds another person. H. B., '3 THE T RANGELEY HIGH FIVE YEARS FROM NOW F you hear a slight commotion Followed by a shrill alarm, Adjust your patent gas mask And don't feel scaredg be calm. You see we burn soft coal In the boiler of R. H. S. And when the wind blows wrong It makes an awful mess For we 've Univents for ventilation And they 're going every day, They draw in the fresh air, Air, that 's twenty feet away So when the wind blows wrong And sends the smoke too near They draw it all right in But, of this, you should not fear For we 'll have our little gas masks Same 's the dough-boys used to wear, We 'll just strap 'em on our faces- And wait for better air. J. M., '32. THE OLD SAILOR THAT WENT TO WAR HERE was an old sailor whose name was Bill, And his hobby was at the side of a still . He would drink until his eyes grew red, And then someone would put him to bed. As time went on his name grew bad, And drink took all the money he had. He spent most of his time in jail, As no one would go his bail. When war was declared he was first to enlist, For with his love of excitement he couldn't re- sist. He went with the first ship over there 'lvl A T T L E R 27 But was held in reserve with much despair. When he did reach the noisy front He showed his comrade many s stunt, About the heavy guns and bayonet, From early morn till late sunset. He became a sergeant then corporal brave And promised high rank if he would only behave. But drink won him and he lost rank, He lost his friends and his courage shrank. They all said he had no back bone And everyone left the drunkard alone. His battalion moved on, victorious day after day, Until the Germans gained their say, And many a brave Yankee bit the mud of no man's land, As a machine gun nest sounded near at hand. Defeat seemed surely to be near When came a call for a volunteer, To silent the death game of the German shell hole, And the man who was once called a coward offered his soul. Alone he crept, with a hand grenade near his breast Without the thought that he would soon come to rest. Everything was quiet for a minute or more Which was horrible broken by a terrific roar. Then the screams of the Germans that would kill no more, ' And the groan of the soldier at the open door. Then he muttered these dying words: Come you brave men and finish the work you have begun And when you are killed your work is done. As he slowly passed on to the holy land, Every soldier's helmet was in his hand. Carefully in the muddy trench They laid him on the wooden bench. Just a little white cross in the Belgium sod Shows the place where the sailor last trod. That was the end of the sailor named Bill, Whose hobby was at the side of a still. R.
