OUR FUTURE WORLD What is this world going to be like in the future? That is the big question of today. Every person has his free opinion. I believe that the world will not last too much longer With all the new machines and the ATOM BOMB, something has to happen sooner or later. If another world war ever breaks out, I believe that mankind will destroy itself. If countries start throwing atomic bombs back and forth the world cannot survive very long. People are getting too involved for their own good or for the good of the next generation. Look at the things around us--things which the people of yesterday never gave a thought! Can you imagine the things that will be here on earth in twenty more years? I don't think anyone could sit down and think of all the new things and still be- lieve that they could really come to pass. I often wonder-how scientists and inventors ever gave a thought to all the things we have today. It is easy after you once hear of them, but to gaze into the future and imagine new cars, trains, planes, trucks, and all the other equipment that we have today, is a different story altogether. Sit down some day and try to think of our changing world, How does it look to your Are your great- grand-children going to be as happy as you? Only if scientists would put new things into a land of peace where they belong! Gary Williams '55 THANKSGIVIN G DAY' The moon is so white In the late of the year. The leaves have fallen And the snow is here. It is late in November And the people are out, To give thanks for Thanksgiving To cheer and shout. The old folks are happy And the young folks are gay, It all means the same But in a different way. All over the States It's a holiday With thanks to those Who paved a way. Alden Dore '55 'THE JANITOR Out of school the day is done But for the Janitor it's just begun. Down each hall he sweeps away The dirt and grime of each long day. He mends this. he mends that Sanding down each initial scratch. He has a job that must be done Even though it is no fun. To all of us each school day 's a treat But to him it's just the same old beat. Neil Lemieax '55 Q: Would you propose to a man? Freshman coed: Absolutely not-- under no circumstances! Sophomore coed: Well. . .maybe. Junior coed: YeS! Senior coed: Where is he?

MAINE, OUR STATE Main, is .indeed a scenic state, As is descr.ibed on the license plate, Vacationland, and pretty too, The grass is green, and the sky .is blue, The crops are ripe, and the hay is ready, And guys and gals are going steady. Oh yes Maine is indeed a scenic state As is described on the license plate. We have rivers, lakes, ponds and streams, And all different types of dreams, We have busses, trains, cars and planes, Hills, valleys, mountains and lanes. We have about all that can be expected, And even some that wasn't suspected. Yes, Maine is indeed a scenic state As is described on the license plate, Hope H.inkley '56 THE GIRLS' TEAM Our record was 57 wins, no losses, and a tie, But to this record, Erskine made us say Goodbye We have been drilled by our coach and boss, To start anew and forget our loss, When we go home at night to our beds, Visions of basketballs dance in our heads, We 're determined to play well on the courts, And win, lose, or tie, will be very good sports. Norene White '54 THE HOMECOMING I hear the wailing whistle Of the lonely wandering train, As it carries its sadden burden To a small town in Maine, ln the back a wounded soldier lies, letting his thoughts roam, What shall he tell his waiting family When he reaches home? For he had been blinded While fighting for his countryg But had not had the courage To tell his family, He 'll tell them he was more than glad To give his eyesight, there. For he saved his loved ones And his country, beloved and fair. Shirley Young '55
