We have looked forward to the time when we would become alumnig yet it is with heavy hearts that we leave the classrooms, studyhalls, and corridors where many good times have been ours. We shall leave these halls with many mem- ories-some gay, some sad, some sentimental, and we shall enter upon a new kind of life, without the carefree manner that we have known here. It is a ravaged world that we must face, and R. H. S. has given us a better equipped mind with which to face it. Perhaps there has never been a time in history when seniors have had to walk into a life as uncertain as that of today. After we have each been established in our different walks of life, our thoughts will travel back to the days of high school when the class of 1951 was prominent in R. H. S. We will remember the thrills we have had at football games, the breath-taking moments in basketball, the pranks that the class jokers have pulled, our struggles with homework, our Washington Trip, and above all the friends We have made- perhaps never to see again. Yes, it is with heavy hearts that we leave R. H. S., but our hearts are grateful, too. It may be that a gentle tear will trickle down our cheeks as we turn our eyes from the brick-colored walls to face the world, and we will be thankful to R. H. S. for helping us to make the first step up the time-worn ladder of life. THE Enrron Q Words Words are a power A sword, a flame An inspiration Or a shame. They bound away to sudden space And ever after race and race, So guard them well. They hurt or heal They lift or lower They bring on joy Or make men cower. Words are a power. How often to a heart bowed down The right words bring such saving grace, The tired mind removes its frown And lifts a new and cheerful face. The tired world could do that, too, If it knew the words to use. Do you?

Today, Communism is a world force, governing millions of the human race, and threatening to govern all of it. Our government is under attack and the enemy is Communism. If Communism were to win, there would be no United States Constitution, Supreme Court, President or Congress. The American Republic would be wiped out, and in its place there would be a system with which freedom could not live. The secret of Communism's success is its carelessness and indifference of other people. Communism is a terrible international organization of spies, wreckers of civilization, and destroyers of nations. It is directed and managed as a world army from the city of Moscow, Russia. Communists in every country are strictly dis- ciplined and closely organized Russian agents. They overturn governments and destroy nations, NOT through their own power, but through the theft of others' power. They get this power by filtering into key spots of control while the majority in any country still thinks Communism is just a crackpot idea and Communists are just another political pressure group. If the Communists should win, here's what would happen: The Constitution would go, the free American Republic would be dead, there would be no Supreme Court and no Congress. We would not have a President as we have today, and the State, County, and City Governments would be abolished. The government would be controlled by one man, the top U. S. Communist. He would take the Presidentis' place, and Congress, the Supreme Court, and everything else would be combined. Even HE would only be an office-boy for a man in Moscow- Stalin . If the Communists take over, our country would be known as Soviet America and our symbol of freedom, the Stars and Stripes, would be replaced by the Red Flag of Russia. Communism is everywhere in the U. S. A. It is mixed with Religion, Educa- tion, Labor, and Government. No Communist, no matter how many votes he should secure in a national election, could, even if he would, become President of the present government. When a Communist heads the government of the United States-and that day might come, unless immediate and positive action is taken -the government will not be a capitalistic government, but rather a Soviet gov- ernment. Behind this government will stand the Red Army to enforce the dictator- ship of the proletariat. Itis up to the people of the United States of America to force every Communist out of power, and wipe Communism from the face of the earth by-Detection, Exposure, and Prosecution!! ' PATRICIA MCDERMOTT '53 Page Fourteen A WASTED DAY One misty moisty morning, VVhen cloudy was the weather, I chanced to meet an old man, Completely dressed in leather, He began to talk to me, and I began to grin - How do you do, how do you do, and how do you do again? We carried on our conversation, We rambled on 'til noon, Before we realized how late it was -- We were looking at the moon! 'Twas then that we decided It was time to call amend, So we parted at the garden gate The very best of friends. VICTOR GoN1ER '53 PAT AND MIKE Pat and Mike O'Hara were identical twins. They were fifteen years old and in the freshman class at Central High School. When Pat wore Mike's dungarees her friends would not know who it was, so it would be quite confusing. They both loved sports, and Pat could play as well as Mike. Some days when they were playing baseball in the neighborhood and Mike could not go, she would put her hair up on her head and would play in Mike's place. No one would know the difference until Mike came along, and then there would always be an argu- ment. One day when they were having try-outs for a play at school, Mike got the leading part, but Pat did not get any. Mike was very happy that he got the lead, and every night Pat would help him with his part until she got to know it just as well as he did. It was two days before the opening of the play and Mike came down with tonsilitis. The teachers were frantic because they had to find someone else. They decided to put the play off, but Mrs. O,Hara said she thought he'd be all over it by then, so they kept it scheduled as planned. Mike went to school the day of the play and was planning to be in the play that night. The play was a success and everyone thought Mike was wonderful. The next day Mike wasn't at school, and in the paper it said that he had gone to the hospital the night before to have his tonsils out. Everyone thought the paper had made a mistake because Mike was in the play the night before. The principal of the high school called the newspaper, and the editor said they had gotten the story from Mrs. O,Hara. Then the principal called Mikeis mother, and she said that Mike's tonsilitis was worse the night before, and they decided to take him to the hospital and have his tonsils out. Pat begged her mother to let her take Mike's place, as she knew his part, and no one would find out the difference-which was true. The principal called an assembly. Pat was congratulated on her fine work in the play and, for once, Mike was glad they were identical twins. CHARLOTTE HURLEY '54 Page Fifteen SLIPPERY ICE Slippery ice, very thin - Page Sixteen Pretty girl tumbles in! Saw a boy on the bank- Gave a shriekg then she sank. Boy on bank heard her shout- lumped right in, helped her out- Now he's hers, very nice- But she had to break the ice! NELSON RAYNES ,51 THE GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM As you know, we had quite a season, And I wish to tell you the reason. We were undefeated-that is, without a loss, And a great deal of credit goes to our coach and boss. Our basketball squad consisted of thirteen, The Seniors, Glenna and Roxie always played clean, They are quarrelsome sisters but very good sports, And they played very well on all of the courts. The two jolly Juniors are Louise and I, And as Louise fights hard, many boys sigh, She has many men - both near and far, But in basketball she's still a star. The Sophomores make up a good deal of our team, Three of the six are Anne, Pat, and Maxine, We all feel sure that without these three, Everyone would be lost-don't you agree? Gloria, Marilyn and Eva are the other three, They are all guards- and champs, you see, And them, we could not do Without, They always play well -of that there's no doubt. There are three Freshmen on the team, Charlotte, Donna and Norene, They all do well-with much scrap, And to them I'll tip my hat. Paula Adams was our manager at the start, Now Mertie Vieira is- she has a good heart, Paula is in Hawaii-she had the roving mood, So now Mert keeps the score- and is never rude. Our coach is Russ Perry as you probably know, He is one of the best-as they come and go, We all appreciate his time spent with us, And the team, as a whole, wants to thank you, Russ.', MARY SULLIVAN ,52 EXAMINATIONS The other night I went to bed But not to sleep, for my poor head Was filled up with an awful dread- Examinations!! I thought of this and then of that Of set and sit and then of sat I feared my brain had turned to fat- Examinations!! Next came the base and rate per cent Of money to an agent lent And how the rule with each one went- Examinations!! Then my lessons I tried to spell Which calls for two and how many Oh! my poor brain I cannot tell- Examinations!! sclssv Who was George Washington? What did he do? And all the other fellows, too? You must tell me! I can't tell you!- Examinations!! Oh! welcome sleep! At last it came! But not to rest my poor old brain For in my dreams I played this game - Examinations!! MARILYN SCHOOLS '53 THIS' MUSICAL VVORLD Have you ever thought of songs when you see people or do things? Well, how about doing it now! In the morning when you get on the school bus, you look at the crowd and start to sing 4'Say It Isn't So . After you've finally managed to squeeze into a space, you think of the song, I Don't Want to Meet People Any More. You reach school Again', and start the day wishing you were a A Million Miles Away . You peek into the Senior Room period four and find Mr. Sommerville singing You're Driving Me Crazy to Walter Varney and Ernest Williams. A test is being passed back to you, and you think, I'll Get By, but when you see it you start singing to the teacher, It Isnit Fairn or I Don't see Me in Your Eyes Anymore. ' Typing class is the one known as Not So Quiet, Pleasei' class. Everyone in there has Two Things to Worry Ahoutn: their two hands. You see Georgia Moeller and Ann Hodgkins coming out of Miss Turner's French Class singing You Don't Have to Know the Language for do you?j. Walter Beckwith comes strolling along the corridor singing For Every Man There's a Womanv - or two, or three, or four, or soooooo on. Then you see the Pushard Twins and think of the song, We Two. If youire a freshman you might feel like A Little Fish in a Big Pooln. You stand in the lunch line at recess singing You Were Meant for Me . . As the last bell rings at one o'eloek, everyone is singing either So Tiredn or The Best Time of Day . PAT MCDERMOTT '53 Page Seventeen THE SOLDIERS It is a bloody soldier A-standing by the way, Looking o'er the battle field Where he had fought today. They had started out at sunrise An enemy to find: Now many of them are dying, And must be left behind. Some of them were young, Some of them were old, But now they all are lying dead, Each one, a deathly cold. The sun is slowly setting O'er this field of bloody dead, And turning all the evening sky A dark and bloody red. The few remaining soldiers Are settling for the night, All are sad and weary From a long and deadly Fight . . . The sun is rising slowly, The sky's a crimson gold. All the young men's faces Look worn and much too old. The dead are quickly buried, And they start back to their land: Each boy has learned a lesson, Each boy is more a man. RALPH STEVENS ,54 I . Boo: I'll take two quarts of gas and a pint of o1l Dore: O.K., sir, and would you like me to sneeze ln your tires? Richard: What was the explosion on Brown's farm? Curt: He fed his chickens some lay-or-bust feed and one of them was a rooster Mr. Sullivan: Young man, it's time for you to go home. Phil: Gosh, but your father's a crankf' Father Coverhearingj: Well, when you don't have a self-starter you need a crank Mertie: This dance Floor is slippery? Marty: It isn't the Hoorg I just had my shoes shined Mr. Pillsbury: What steps would you take if you saw a dangerous hon? Robert Moore: Long ones, brother, long ones. Page Eighteen THE FOUL SHOT The screaming crowd One second, one point to go. The opponents snarl As we get set to throw. All set to toss- A careful aim- With our fingers crossed For a point to gain. It whirls round and round. Swish! Right through the rim! Hurrah! The buzzer sounds! lust think, another wini G. IMIINKLEY AND M. WALTZ '53 CLASSIFICATION You can tell the Freshmen 'Cause they're never on the rage, Like those silly little Sophomores Who never act their age. What you hear about the luniors Is always calm and coolg But don't forget the Seniors, It's the best class in the School. JANET SIDELINGER '51 PROGRESS You can tell a Freshman by the way he keeps the rules- You can tell a Sophomore by the way he laughs and fools - You can tell a Iunior by his jolly ways and such- You can tell a Senior, but you can't tell him much!!! JEAN LEMIEUX '51 SMILE The thing that goes the farthest Toward making life worthwhile, That costs the least, and docs the most, Is just a pleasant smile. The smile that bubbles from the heart, That loves its fellowmen, Will drive away the clouds of gloom, And coax the sun again. It pays the higher interest, For it is merely lent, It's worth a million dollars, And it doesn't cost a cent. Thereis is no room for sadness Where we see a cheery smile, It always has the same good look, It's never out of style. It nerves us on to try again When failure makes us blueg The dimples of encouragement are good For me and you.

NELSON RAYNES '51 Page Twenty-four Woshington Trip -- 19.51 On April l3, the Senior Class of Richmond High School accompanied by their two chaperones, Miss Ioan Turner and Mr. Alex Somerville, boarded the evening train for New York on their way to Washington, D. C. The trip we had so long anticipated was now a reality. After a somewhat sleepless night, our train pulled into Grand Central Station. Being anxious to get rid of our luggage, we took taxies to the Pieadilly Hotel where we waited to be assigned to our rooms. That done, our next thought was food. After getting some nourishment, we visited the Statue of Liberty on Bedloe's Island. There are around 137 steps leading from the base of the statue to the head -we know because we climbed them! That evening was spent in various ways. Some of the class tock in the Ringling Brothers Circus, others visited The Latin Quartern, one of the city's well-known night clubs. Early Sunday morning our chartered bus carried us through the Lincoln Tunnel into New jersey on our way to Washington. Enroute, we visited the famous and beautiful Franciscan Monastery. We reached Washington in the late afternoon and checked in at the Hotel Harrington. That evening was free for sightseeing and sleep. Monday was a full 'day which included visits to Arlington Cemetery, the Lin- coln, Iefferson, and Washington Memorials, Smithsonian Institute, Mount Ver- non, and the Congressional Library. Tuesday morning. following our hotel breakfast, we began another day of sightseeing. The day's tour included the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, the F.B.I., the Capitol, the Pan American Building, and the Naval Academy at Anna- polis. Our Wednesday schedule called for a trip to New Market, Va. The highlights of this day were the scenic Skyline Drive and the Endless Caverns in the Shenan- doah Valley. York, Pennsylvania, was on the calendar for Thursday. Our headquarters were at the Yorktowne I-Ictel, one of America's best-known hotels. From here we visited Valley Forge and the battleground at Gettysburg. We also took in the Indepen- dence Hall in Philadelphia, where we saw the I.iberty Bell. Friday, we travelled all day back to New York. On arrival, we again checked in at the Picadilly Hotel, and spent the evening in whatever ways we chose. Saturday was free for sleeping, shopping, and sightseeing. That night at ten o'clock we boarded the train at Grand Central Station and headed home. Early Sunday morning the group of sixteen tired and sleepy, but happy people returned to good old Richmondi' from a never-to-be-forgotten trip. Our two chaperones, Miss Ioan Turner and Mr.' Alex Somerville, and our bus driver, Ieff Harrington, added much to the pleasure and enjoyment of our trip. Page Twenty-five Zi?

Freshman Class In September when school opened we started out with 40 members in our class but during the school year we have lost two of our classmates. During the second week of school we held a class meeting to elect our officers for the year who are as follows: President .. .. , .,..,,. , , .. . Paul Ranco Vice-President .. , ....

S. Gym and each had a stunt to do. This was under the direction of the Sophomores. Gail Stuber proved to be an outstanding member of our class and of the school on the magazine drive, having the highest record of selling this year. The Freshmen have, also, many outstanding athletes. For which much credit goes to Don Chambers and George Withee for their showing in Basketball.

Although we have held very few meetings, members of this organization have served as adver- tising and ticket committees for the football and basketball games in addition to their other duties. We think the Student Council is an excellent form of government for any school to have. We hope R. H. S. will continue to have it and that, in the future, it will be even more active.

Page Thirty-nine Martha Hinkley, Clinton Gilpatrick, jack Chambers The Tope Recorder We are proud of our new. magnetic tape recorder which is a gift to the school from the classes of 1950 and 1951. We have used the recorder in language classes, dramatics, and in preparation for speaking contests, and also in picking up speeches and music from the radio. The grammar school has found several uses for it, including its use in reading and language classes.

There are forty members in the band. All members of the band, with the exception of four, had only had ten lessons when the band was organized. Our first public appearance was at teacher's reception. Later we played at the last home football game. We have played for many organizations and groups such as the raising of the flag on Armistice Day at the High School, and for a show at Dresden. A On May 12, the band went to the Music Festival in Brewer. We were also the first school band in Richmond, to parade on Memorial Day. Most of our success is due to our director, Mr. Whitten, who has Worked hard and patiently with us.

Small batons were furnished by Mr. Whitten for us to practice with, and later we bought larger ones. Our uniforms were given to us by the Sanford Band, and we bought our own boots. Our first public appearance was at the Teacheris Re- ception, where we all showed some signs of nervousness. Our second appearance was at the Oakland-Richmond football game where the whole group showed a little improvement, but still we were nervous. From then on, we appeared fre- quently, with the band, for different school times, and town organizations. In Ianuary, Gretchen Hodgkins joined us, which made three majorettes from the Emerson School, and six from the high school. Things began going full swing in March, and we hope we have helped in the appearance of the band. Next year perhaps we can get someone to teach us to twirl faster and better, so that we may accomplish twice as much as we did this year.

Of the many who appeared, nine were veterans: Glenna Curtis and Roxana Curtis, Seniors, Mary Sullivan and Louise Pushard, Iuniorsg lVlarilyn,Schools, Maxine Waltz, Ann Hodgkins, Gloria Small, and Patricia McDermott, Sophomorcs. We were very glad to welcome several newcomers: Eva Hutchins. Sophomoreg Char- lotte Hurley, Norene White, and Donna Nlarriner, Freshmen. Coach Perry was busy the first few weeks getting us into shape for our first game with Boothbay Harbor. Richmond 47- Boothbay 32 Our first game was November 28th and the girls were a littlc nervous. 'They kept close score until the third quarter and then we took over. Nl. Waltz was high scorer with l3 points and M. Sullivan and G. Curtis with 10 points apiece. The guards were well noticed for their playing. Richmond 36-K. S. C. 30 December 5th we played the Kcnnebcc School of Commerce. lt was a close game most of the way but thanks to our guards, we were successful. We had many high scorers with G. Curtis getting ll points and M. Waltz, 10 points. Carde netted 14 points for the losers. Page Forty-five s Richmond 32 -Hallowell 23 December 8th Hallowell came here.

Pushard and Small played well in their positions. Richmond 62-Mechanic Falls 27 December 12th Mechanic Falls played us on our court. Both teams got off to a good start. By getting a high score at the first of the game it was possible for Coach Perry to substitute freely. G. Curtis with 20 points and M. Sullivan were tops for the winners. D. Tripp netted 12 points and Abbott, 10 to help make up the score for the losers. Richmond 30 - Alumni 25 On December 29 our Old Faithfuln, the alumni, came back to play a game. We got a good lead in the first part oi' the game, however, the alumni proved to the R.H.S. girls that they were not too old to play basketball for in the fourth quarter they were only three points behind with five minutes to go. This game gave the R.H.S. girls a good scare, for they had not lost a game. We won again but the R.H.S. girls said that it was one of the hardest games they had played. G. Curtis netted 10 points and Sullivan 9. For the alumni, B. Small made 12 points and B. Curtis 9. Richmond 45 - Hallowell 18 january 15 both the girls' and boys' teams journeyed to Hallowell.

Pushard played a good game. Richmond 51-Boothbay l4 january 9, Boothbay came to play a return game. It was a difficult game, but again we came out on top. G. Curtis netted 21 points and A. Hodgkins netted 18. The guards were noticed for their good work. Richmond 57--Sabattus 18 On Ianuary 23 the Freshmen and Sophomores went to play Sabattus.

Richmond 56- K.S.C. 23 K.S.C. came back to play us a return game. The scare was not so close as before, but still, both teams showed plenty of Fight. M. Waltz netted 14 points and G. Curtis 13 for the winner. ' Richmond 91 - Erskine 34 We led all the way and every one was able to play. G. Curtis netted 25 points, and P. McDermott 22. Guards played an outstanding game. Page Forty-six Richmond 45 - Winthrop 30 On January 26 we made a trip to Winthrop. The girls were a little nervous about this gameg wc had not lost any games and Winthrop had a very good club. The score was close until the last of the fourth quarter when the Winthrop girls became tired. The Richmond girls took the lead and came out the winner. G. Curtis netted 15 points and R. Curtis did an outstanding job of guarding Brown on the Winthrop team. Richmond 57-Mechanic Falls 30 On February 6th we made a trip to Mechanic Falls. As the floor was small the game moved very slowly. Bernier of Mechanic Falls netted 15 points. M. Sullivan netted 17 points with G. Curtis a close second with 16. Richmond 60-Lewiston Bombshells 32 On February 26 the Bombshells came to play us on our own court.

Sept. l5- Winthrop 7-Richmond O Our first game was a shaky one but probably the best game we played. Inex- perience and being out-weighed were the things that toppled us. Charley Hinkley made the longest run of the day of 55 yards. Raynes, Stevens, and Carroll Curtis played a fine game of defense. Page Forty-eight Sept. 22- Richmond 6-Brunswick V.'s 0 Bennie Iones scored a fourth quarter touchdown just as time ran out. Cham- bers, Tarr, and Stevens made some great catches at their end spots, while Curtis and Houdlctte played a good defensive game. Sept. 29- Boothbay Harbor 14-Richmond 6 We just couldn't get started. We scored first but went down to defeat, against a team that was scrapping harder that day, than we were. Hinkleynand Curtis did some fine running but couldn't do it all. Stevens, Holman and Pickett were stand- outs on defense, X Oct. 7- Williams of Oakland 20-Richmond 6 We played on a good day, and our school band made its first appearance of the season at Lane Field for the game. Richmond finally broke the ice by a long pass from Dick Houdlette to Don Chambers in the final period. Carroll Curtis did some excellent running while Holman and Pickett were tops on defense. Oct. 13 - Hallowell 52 - Richmond 0 fPass the aspirin, please.j This was our last game of the season, and probably forever for five of us. Carroll Curtis played great ball on offense along with Don Chambers, who did some fine pass-catching. Holman, Raynes, and Harwood played fine defensive ball for us.

Most of the Kennebec Valley Schools We played had four year veterans, so it made it kind of hard for our boys. The candidates were: Freshmen: Don Chambers, George Withee, Walter Beckwith, Harold Averill and Gordon Curtis. Sophomores: Gil Hinkley, Clarence Fickett, lack Hurley and Ernest Williams. Iuniors: Charles Hinkley, lack Chambers, and Clinton Gilpatrick. Seniors: Richard Houdlette. The Boston Trip: On December 21st we left, with Brunswick, for the Boston Gardens, where we played Merrimac, Massachusetts. We didn't get going, until it was too late and we lost 42 to 36. Don Chambers had 17, and Gilly Hinkley ll, for us, while Brooke and Franklin had 13 and 12 respectivelv for Merrimac. That night, we saw Tufts and St. Michaels and Vanderbilt and Holy Cross play. The Tournament: February 14th We played Bingham at Waterville Senior High, and beat them with a last minute spurt 48 to 43. Gilly Hinkley with 19 and Don Chambers with 15, were high for us. February 15th we played Hallowell at Winslow High and they had too much for our young ball club. We were beaten 61 to 28. Don with 8, and Gilly with 7, were high for us. Page Fifty Faculty Game: March 5th the boys played the faculty at the gym. Somerville, Marriner, Perry, Pillsbury, Sullivan, Rogers and Burton made up the faculty. Somerville was the highest scorer for the faculty, with 13 points. The game was a riot, both teams enjoyed the game very much. Chambers was the highest scorer for the high school with 16 points. The final score was 36 to 34 in favor of the high school. I ndividual Scores Name Baskets Made Fouls Made Total Points per Game D. Chambers 92 G. Hinkley 83 C. Hinkley 47 C. Fickett 34 G.

The passing of George Withee was outstand- ing also. Next year's team should get off to a better start with poise and experience. We hope that next season will produce a great team. This year's team progressed greatly with the help of Coach Somerville who has done a great job considering that we started the season with an inexperienced squad. We think this time is appropriate to congratulate Mr. Perry, and his great un- defeated girls, basketball team. We wish them luck and hope that they can keep this record intact, in future years to come. N. RAYNES and R.

Gilly Hinkley, Philip Holman, Ernest Williams and Richard Houdlette, the four veterans, should steady the team down some. Some of the other Kennebec Valley Schools arenit any better off than we are, so this figures to be quite a jumbled up season. Lane Field is badly in need of repair and this will hurt Richmondis chances some, but what ever happens you can count on them to make a good showing.
