He is very well liked by all. First, a glimpse of his musical life. Antonio J. Palleria graduated from the New England Conservatory of Music, Boston, Mass., in 1950. He was a member of the Army Air Force Band at Kessler Field, Biloxi, Mississippi. During his four years at Sanborn Seminary Prep school, New Hampshire, he was active in various sports such as baseball, football and track. To help our new director, a president and council of the band were elected. President of the band and council is Ted Sullivan. Representative for the senior class is Dotty Staplesg representative for the junior class, Harold Crockettg representative for the sophomore class, Joan Norwood, representative for the freshman class, Helen Leland. Midway through our school year, we found thirty-nine members in our progressing band. We will attend the Eastern Maine Music Festival, to be held in Farmington, hoping for a high rating.

Mrs. Palleria has guided the group in learning new routines both for marching and twirling. The girls have had lots of fun working together and twirling at the band concerts and other band activities. We hope to show in the future a group of girls who can add a great deal to the popularity of the Rockport High School Band.

So our membership has remained rather stationary. The members of our class have been very busy. We have seven band members. Five boys participated in basketball, and they were kept on the right track by three ine cheerleaders. Our carnival program was based on train travel in the United States. It was called Going Places. Nine students did outstanding work in the achievement tests. One student, Virginia Ulmer, has received all A's for the year. We are looking forward to the summer vacation and another year together in the eighth grade. THE TATLER 13 Eighth Grade Back, left to right, J. 0'Donnell, G. Starr, K. Wentworth, Middle, S. Dietz, G.

After initiation, refreshments were served and a good time was enjoyed by all. New books were catalogued and we continued to have a large assort- ment of magazines and books.

Inventors some day, I hope, will discover A tire that will wear forever and ever. Howard Simonton, '55 CIVICS CLASS C is for civics, the book must be read, I is for italics, important it's said.

Boating can be lots of fun With engine, oars or sail, On quiet ponds or deep blue sea Or even in a gale. Sailing ships and fishing smacks, Row boats, yachts and dories Are lots of fun for anyone, And theme of many stories. Stuart Farnham, '57 WINTER FUN Winter is for fun With rubber boots that Weigh a ton. The man of the house shovels the snow, Dodging snowballs high and low. Gently the snowflakes fall, Making drifts six feet tall. Watch the kids play and jump, While I thaw out the frozen pump.

Graduation separates us from two good players, a very tricky forward, Barbara Spear, and another outstand- ing forward, Carol Jones. We want to give most of our credit to Mr. Judkins, a wonderful coach, who showed us the way to victory. November 17 At Thomaston Rockport. 31-Thomaston 33 The season opened up at a very fast pace with the score racing neck to neck all the way until time ran out. It was then decided that a two-minute play-off should be held. Thomaston got lucky in this and finally bested us by two points. November 20 At Rockland Rockport 30-Rockland 33 Carol Jones led the Beaver girls with 11 points, while the guard sec- tion worked hard to hold down the hard fighting Rockland team.

Anderson led the scorers with 16, while Simonton and Jones pulled through with 10 each. December 4 At Warren Rockport 62-Warren 11 Our snappy little forward, Sara Simonton, came through with 17 points ,while another hard fighting freshman, S. Heath, netted 14. This, our first league game, was an easy victory. December 11 At Rockport Rockport 49-Union 54 This was a heart breakerg our sec- ond league game was another defeat. Anderson again led the scoring with 17, while fast moving Jerry Tolman paced the Union girls with 31 points. December 15 At Wiscasset Rockport 67-Wiscasset 34 This was a long trip but very much worth while. Simonton again pulled through with 21, while Alexander scored 18. Wiscasset's top scorer, Whitney, hooked 24 through our tough to beat guard section. December 29 At New Gym Rockport 35-Alumnae 23 The old timers put up a good, but losing fight.

Dot Richards led the Alumnae with 8, while Alexander netted 16 for the Beaver girls. January 5 At Rockport Rockport 42-Camden 75 Camden thoroughly crushed Rock- port in this one. Nevertheless, the Rockport girls Wouldn't give up, and they fought until the last shot Was fired. Sara Simonton topped our scoring With 26, while Crabtree head- ed Camden with 38. Watch out next year, Camden! January 8 VAt Rockport Rockport 60-Appleton 25 Rockport took this league game with an easy victory. Barbara Wood led the battle With 19 points. The Beavers' guards showed they really had what it takes by not allowing Appleton girls a point during the first half. 22 THE TATLER January 15 At Rockland Rockport 43-Rockland 39 The Rockporters Went in, deter- mined to beat Rockland, and this they did. Faithful Sara came through with 19 points, while Crie dropped in 20 for Rockland. January 22 At Union Rockport 48-Union 35 We all knew this was the nightg we would win or lose a championship. We fought hard throughout the game. Finally in the third quarter we pulled way ahead and stayed there. Again our little Simonton girl led the pack with 25 while Spear and Alexander ended with 11 each. January 27 At Rockport Rockport 48-Vinalhaven 26 Victory again. However, the Island- ers have improved very much and gave us a little trouble, but they were handled satisfactorily. January 29 At Appleton Rockport 63-Appleton 23 Another hot game! Rockport show- ed excellent teamwork and plenty of baskets. Simonton, Alexander and Spear made 22, 18, and 16 points, re- spectively. February 2 At Rockport Rockport 63-Thomaston 41 Ah! sweet revenge! We had been waiting for this game to prove we could defeat a class M school. It was a good game by both teams through- out. February 5 At Rockport Rockport 68-Warren 25 This game clinched the Eastern Division Championship of the Bulwer League for the Rockport lassies. Al- though the first team sat out the whole game, the seconds pulled through beautifully. February 9 At Rockport Rockport 36-Camden 53 Camden's tricky six again stunned us but a good game was enjoyed by all. Perhaps next year it will be our turn. February 16 At Wiscasset Rockport 53-Litchfield 30 The Litchfield girls had an excel- lent record as Western Champions. After a close first half we really roll- ed into high gear, grabbing the Bul- wer League Championship. Simonton led again with 19 points and our sub- stitutes looked extremely good.

It succeeded in capturing the Eastern Division title, then went on to defeat the winners of the Western Division for the Bul- wer League title. This is the second year in a row that we have captured the Bulwer League Championship. We were also champions of the Region 1, Class S, Western Maine Basketball Tournament, which gave us a berth in the Western Maine State Championship Tournament at Lewiston. Much credit goes to Mr. Sutherland, our coach, who worked hard to whip up this successful team. . Captain Ted Sullivan, our center, was high scorer for the year and worked very hard in taking the place of Ralph Thorndike, our center of last year. Butch Farley and Harold Crockett at the forward posts, With Danny Gross and Carlton Farley as guards, rounded out one of the strongest teams ever to represent Rockport. Much credit also goes to Dick Cash, Herbert Annis, and Dick Deane, who furnished strong alter- natesg and also the second team which was capable of doing just as well as the first team. November 17 At Thomaston Rockport 43-Thomaston 57 We worked very hard to get this game but Thomaston had too much height. Gross and Sullivan fought hard for rebounds. Sullivan led the Beaver scoring honors with 12 points. November 20 At Potter Rockport 50-Potter 36 Mr. Sutherland was very much pleased in beating this tournament 24 T H E T A T L E R SENIOR BASKETBALL BOYS Dick Deane, Danny Gross, Dick Cash team. Passing and swishing them through the net from all over the court made it one of the fastest games we've ever played. Sullivan led the scoring honors with 16 points. December 1 At Rockport Rockport 70-Wiscasset 49 We enjoyed the lead all the Way in this one and took the game without too much trouble. Sullivan and Gross led the Beavers with 24 and 12 points respictively. December 4 At Warren Rockport 83-Warren 10 The first team played 6 minutes of the first quarter with Harold Crockett making 17 points. The second string took over with Robert Nape dunk- ing in 20 points. December 11 At Rockport Rockport 60-Union 50 Here we took our second Bulwer League game. Sullivan, with his awk- ward, dead-eye hook shot, dropped in 26 points. December 15 At Wiscasset Rockport 76-Wiscasset 57 The Beavers broke loose in the last part to take this one. Sullivan, Gross and Crockett led the scoring with 19, 12, and 11 points respectively. This, also, was the first time that Rockport has beaten Wiscasset on their own floor for some time. December 29 At Rockport Rockport 63-Alumni 43 The old Grads tried, but we were just too much for them. B. Farley, Crockett and Gross led the scoring attack with double figures each. B. Lermond led the grads with 16 points. January 5 At Rockport Rockport 50-Camden 51 Rumors were that we outclassed the Mustangs all the way, but we just couldn't get that last basket. Sulli- van and Crockett were hitting the nets with 13 and 10 points. January 8 At Rockport Rockport 56-Appleton 31 While adding another win to our record most of the team saw action. Sullivan hit the nets for 13 points. January 15 At Rockport Rockport 64-Potter 56 By taking this team again, and having no Class S defeats, we were a threat to any Class S team. Sullivan, Crockett and B. Farley teamed up for 23, 13, and 11 points respectively. January 22 At Union Rockport 48-Union 47 What a game this was!! We enjoy- ed a 20 point lead and saw all but one whittled away in the last few min- utes. January 27 At Rockport Rockport 82-Vinalhaven 34 As we rolled along in our undefeat- ed Class S role, We considered this game the best display of teamwork of all. The first team played the first half while the reserves played the last half. January 29 At Appleton Rockport 56-Appleton 48 We just couldn't see being beaten, so we came from behind to rack up another win and clinch the top spot in the Eastern Division of the Bulwer League, undefeated. The scoring in this game was well balanced with Sullivan and Gross taking the leads with 13 and 12 points. Also, we must mention the classy brand of ball that freshman, 'tButch Farley, played to put us ahead. February 2 At Rockport Rockport 57-Thomaston 64 Maybe we didn't win this one, but good old Rockport was very proud of the fast and coordinated teamwork which was displayed against this towering team. Small but fast, Butch Farley led our scoring with 15 points. February 5 At Rockport Rockport 64-Warren 8 We had little difficulty in taking this one, with Robert Nape making 16 points for high honors. The second string played the last half of the game and did a real Ubang-up job. February 9 At Camden Rockport 49-Camden 70 This was a close game at the first half, but then Camden started scor- ing and we never did catch up. Sulli- van and Crockett teamed up with 14 and 10 points respectively. This game was to end our regular schedule until February 16, Bulwer League Cham- pionship Day. THE TATLER 25 BULWER LEAGUE PLAY-OFF February 16 5 At Wiscasset Rockport 66-Litchfield 60 This was anyone's game. It was probably the fastest and best under- pressure game that we played all sea- son. Litchfield rushed out to an 18-12 lead at the start. Still going strong, the score at the half was still theirs, 35-27. Then came the third quarter! Crockett and B. Farley teamed up on scoring and Rockport took the lead for the first time, 55-51. And then it happened! Sullivan and Gross fouled out! Our chances looked rather dim, but do you think we were going to lose a Championship? The subs came in and I just can't describe the won- derful job that the little Beaver team did. Crockett, B. Farley, and Sullivan held the honors with 19, 16 and 12 points respectively, and before we knew it, the second straight boys' championship had come to good old Rockport High. REGIONAL TOURNAMENT February 19 At Camden Rockport 74-Bridge 15 Our first game in the Regional Tournament was not very difficult, with everyone seeing action. The scoring was by H. Crockett, B. Farley, and T. Sullivan with 15, 13, and 12 points respectively. . February 20 At Camden Rockport 58-Wiscasset 47 Knowing that this team could ruin our chance for the State Tournament, everyone knew that he had to work extra hard. Sullivan and Crockett took scoring honors with 20 and 17 points respecitvely. February 20 At Camden Rockport 42-Union 30 After playing a strong game that afternoon, the Beavers were a little tired. The game was close all the way, but as the last whistle blew, it found '79 THE TATLER ,ur fast-breaking outfit winning the Regional Tournanent and entering the State of Maine Class S Tourna- ment, undefeated in Class S compe- tition. Harold Crockett and Carlton Farley had the scoring honors with 13 and 10 points respectively. IVESTERN MAINE STATE TOURNAMENT February 25 At Lewiston Rockport 42-Kingfield 50 Finally, the long awaited moment had come! As the Beavers took the floor in the first quarter, you could see the tension which was built up inside of every player. Kingfield, playing a different brand of ball than we have ever seen, made it difficult for us to stop them. With the regulars not hitting at all, we didn't show much scoring throughout the game. Butch Farley was high scorer with 13 points. Just a Word to tournament teams: Good old Rockport High never gives up!! We want the Seniors to know that they did a wonderful job and we are going to miss them next year. Harold Crockett, '55 ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION We started the year by electing the following : President Richard Deane Vice-President Ted Sullivan Secretary and Treasurer Pat Upham No further functions have been carried on.

They were Mary Lovejoy, Judy O'Donnell, and Cynthia Waters. The other three, Astrid Thorvaldsan, Lorraine Dow, and Linda Johnson were members of last yearis squad. Joan Norwood, when she wasn't busy with basketball, took the job of substitute when there was an absence. As new equipment we added a new uniform to our wardrobe, and six new megaphones which were purchased by the school's A. A. Each game brought its own tally of thrills and our peppy little group anxiously drew the support from the spectators. We took the trip to Lewis- ton this season with the Region 1, Class S Champs fboysj They didn't go as far as we had hoped, but we are looking forward to next year's teams which will have the opportunities to build themselves into fast, clean-cut, winning squads. We'll be yelling!! Linda Johnson, '56 28 THE TATLER Literary WILLIE, THE WANDERER, IN STUDY HALL Willie isn't his real name, but for the safety of everybody concerned, l'll call him that for my story. I've known Willie only a short time, but he has the same act from day to day. It could be any day of the Week, be- cause they're all the same to Willie. This is his second period which is in study hall. Things look pretty bad in study hall. Willie has tried so hard to get out of the room. He blotted ink from his pen all over his hands so he could get out of study hall. It's quarter to ten already and he was supposed to meet Midge at ten of ten. Mr. Indus- trious, the teacher, suggested he Wash his hands in the hall and the darn door was wide open. Back to the study hall. Something is burning! The study hall? Oh no, that's just Willie thinking. Let's see, maybe he could become thirsty, but that wouldn't Work for he was just in the hall. So Willie Hnally settles down with his English book. But what is this? Willie has no ink in his pen. I should have thought of that before, thinks Willie. He checks around to see if any ink can be found. None. Good, says Willie. He asks Mr. Industrious if he may go out to get some ink. Mr. Indus- trious shows Willie the ink in his desk and Willie looks sick. Well, back to English again. Grotesque? Well, What's that mean? Where's the dic- tionary? He asks Mr. Industrious one more question and his scheme must have worked by the look on Willie's face. But he didn't bother to notice the time. In one minute the period would be over. But just as Willie succeeded today, he might indeed fail tomorrow. Willie certainly interests me. How about you, study hall students? Joan Hewes, '56 GOING TO COLLEGE To raise the question whether or not one should go to college is much like questioning the advisability of one's doing much reading and think- ing. There are, for various reasons, many persons from whom only a minimum amount of mental activity can be expected, and a small educa- tion must satisfy them. But, ordinar- ily, anyone who finds it possible to go to college, or who has energy enough to make it possible, can profit greatly by going. In general, one vital condition of success in life is a knowledge of what people have thought, and done, in the past. A knowledge of the principal problems that have confronted them and the ways in which they have been solved. The college course is much better now than it was twenty-five years ago. At that time nearly all students were expected to take much the same course. But since that time, many new subjects have been introduced. The college that one chooses should depend very much upon its strength in the line of study that one expects mainly to pursue. Whatever college one attends, the courses that he se- lects after he arrives there should not be determined solely by their titles. Nor should one choose a col- lege because it is either large or small, but because there are certain persons of power there whom he wants and can have as his instructors. If you are thinking of going to col- lege, confer with the principal of your high school and he can probably give you some good advice in regards to going to college. Deanne Arthur, '55 HOW T0 CONDUCT ONESELF AT A CONCERT Are you embarrassed at a concert? You don't know what to do and how to act? Do you get bored? Well, here are a few suggestions to remedy such situations. At a concert one should act very dignified, attentive, and be generous with applause. For example, when entering one should run ahead of the usher, grabbing the best seats avail- able. If the seats are reserved, it is unnecessary to rush so. Just take your time and gape at the people on the way down the aisle. When waiting for a concert to be- gin, one should turn around and talk to an acquaintance a few rows back. This furnishes a time filler for the people in between as well as the par- ties gabbing. One thing a person should never forget when attending a concert is his gum. It is a good idea to wear shoes with taps also, as the perform- er will appreciate someone keeping time for him, with either taps or gum- snaps. One warning, though, a per- son with bad rhythm should refrain from these as it is very annoying to have someone snapping or tapping off beat. I If a person enjoys the performer, xt is good taste for him to 'jump up and down yelling and screaming loud- ly. The performer is grateful for an appreciative audience. If a person does a piece which is familiar to the audience, they should joinuin wholeheartedly, humming and singing. After a concert it is a good habit to go back stage and congratulate the performer. A fitting remark would be THE TATLER 29 Nice job, old boy! or something similar. If a person remembers these points, I'm sure he'll enjoy himself and never again be bored at any con- cert he attends. Joan Norwood, '56 STRIPED DEATH My job was to hunt down man-eat- ing tigers. I had just finished an ex- pedition down in Brazil, and had gone to Burma, India, where a mes- sage came to me saying that villages in Burma had been struck by Striped Death, which I soon found out was the tiger. Three years ago was my first contact with tigers, so I knew I had a tough job before me. Let me give you some detailed des- cription of this cat. He's the largest of the cat family with a coat of beau- tiful tawny yellow and with black stripes running at right angles with the body lines. His weight is approxi- mately five hundred pounds and his length is about eleven feet from the tip of his tail to his nose. When I arrived in Burma I found a man waiting for me. He told me he was my guide. His name was Watusi, the largest of the tribesmen. He stood eight feet tall and was coal black with rippling muscles, and ivory white teeth. He told me three people had been killed in three days. Watusi led me to one of the vil- lages which had been struck. In a few minutes the natives had set my tent up and put my equipment away. The equipment, I might add, was cameras, nets, guns, and food sup- plies. The next morning I had just crawled out of the sack when I saw a mongoose, a small brown animal about a foot long, fighting a deadly cobra snake. I watched them fight for fifteen minutes or more. With lightn- ing speed the mongoose would run to the snake and bite his tail about the time the cobra would strike, but the 30 THE TATLER mongoose was just a little faster than the snake. Finally, the mongoose made the snake strike and with Very keen quickness, the animal grabbed the snake by the neck and killed him. About noon a native runner came to the village and told me that a wo- man had gone down to the river to do her washing and had been struck by the tiger. Watusi and I hurried to the other village as fast as we could go. When we arrived there, natives showed us the spot where the body lay. The vic- tim's body was sprawled out over the ground, partly eaten, with the right arm gone and one leg badly mangled. I decided that we should wait at night hidden around the victim's body, for the tiger would return for another dinner of his victim. It was around midnight when Watusi and I saw a dark shadow walking through the still night. As the shadow moved toward the open- ing, we saw that it was the big cat. I took aim and fired. The animal spun around in mid air and fell to the ground, but he got up instantly and ran into the darkness. We knew now that we had to get him quickly or many deaths would be left in his path. It was just getting daybreak when Watusi and I started tracking the animal. We found that he had been badly hit. The trail led into the edge of the swamp grass. We knew that there was only one thing we could do, and that was to get the spearmen to make a big circle of the area and close in. The procedure started with the na- tives yelling and jabbing their spears forward. Watusi was signaling me to come forward. I hurried as fast as I could, and all of a sudden there was a loud roar and the tiger ran toward Watusi. I yelled, Watusi, look out! It was too late. The tiger had struck with full force. I fired and heard the scream of the tiger. I fired againg then ran over to Watusi. There I found him with a broken neck. Tears came to my eyes, for I knew that I had lost a brave friend. I found that the tiger, 1d a long protruding spear between his fore- legs. The spear, I knew, was Watusi's. The tiger had been mortally wounded before I had finished him off. When we got back to the village, natives everywhere cheered me as a great hunter, but I told them that the great hunter was Watusi, who had lost his life for his people. The next day they held a funeral for Watusi. I watched them cremate his body and spread the ashes over a tall hill overlooking the village. Dur- this this ceremony I looked up and whispered, Good by, good by, Wa- tusi, and then turned around and slowly walked away. Danny Gross, '54 PLAN IN THE DARK It was a dark gloomy night and the wind outside was howling like a tor- mented animal. The house inside had the appearance of being cloaked in a black cloud. Everything in the house was quiet and still except for the silent, stealthy figure creeping out of one of the up- stairs bedrooms where he had been lurking. He closed the door quietly be- hind him and started to make his way down the hall toward the stairs. A loose corner on the carpet caught his toe and he tripped, but caught him- self just in time. His heart beat fast- er and he thought to himself, I must not fail now when what I am after is so close. Proceeding with care he again started toward the black pit which was the stairs. At last! Now he had covered at least a part of the way without mishap. He didn't want to do this but he knew he must have what he was after or die trying. Where is it? Here? No! Ah, now I have it. His hand grasped tightly on the banister and he began to descend. Suddenly a board creaked. He stopped and it seemed as though his heart was . 1is.thvca.t. No one stirred, so he began to steal silently on his way again. He finally reached the bottom of the stairs after much uncertainty. Now to find that door. He knew just where it was because he had memorized every detail, so that he would know where to go when the time came. He thought he knew! But, what was this he had walked into? Strange, it felt like a wall. At last he found the door leading into the room of his destination. Now, of all times, was no time to be careless when it was almost in his greedy fingers. Every plan must be followed care- fully. Moving quickly over to the shelf, he reached up with one hand to the container. He put his hand into it and felt around. A great wave of disap- pointment suddenly rushed over himg it was empty. Such an awful lot of trouble for a seven year old boy, and not one cook- ie in the whole jar! Ninon Ingersoll, '54 MRS. WILD DUCK MAKES A NEST Mrs. Wild Duck circled the woods one day looking for a place to build her nest. Down in the ravine where the stream flowed, there was a plea- sant spot, but Mrs. Duck had seen a fox down there. That was not a good place for a nest. Once more she circled the woods. This time she saw a large beech tree. It was very old and tall, and had a deep hole in the trunk, high above the ground. It was a little out of the ordinary for a duck to build off the ground, but why not? A nest in the beech tree would be far from the dan- ger of animals prying below. Mrs. Duck settled on the ledge of the hole in the beech tree and looked about her. She looked in at the pos- sible new home. The hole was lined with soft tree pulp. Eggs will hatch there very nicely, thought Mrs. THE TATLER 31 Duck. Still perched on the ledge, she viewed the scene below, and decided to look no farther. Mrs. Duck went about the work of building a nest. First, she gathered a few twigs together, putting them in the hole. Then she made the nest warm with downy feathers. After that, she went about the business of laying eggs. For a long time after that Mrs. Duck's neighbors rarely saw her. They forgot Mrs. Duck. Then one day Mrs. Crow fiew down through the woods calling out that something in- teresting had happened at the old beech. The wood folks looked and saw Mrs. Duck poke her head out of the hole. She had something dark and fuzzy in her beak. She dropped the dark object to the earth below, then in went her head again, and came out with another dark object. Fifteen times she repeated this operation. When the dark fuzzy objects were all dropped, Mrs. Duck perched for a moment on the edge of the nest, then she glided to the ground below. Then Mrs. Duck nudged each little black object, and quacked a sharp command. She marched off down the ravine with the fourteen baby ducks walking in a neat parade behind her. One little duck seemed rather stun- ned by his experience, and sat right where he had landed. He seemed very much alone. He was cold and hungry and his mother was gone. Mrs. Duck by this time had reached the stream at the bottom of the ra- vine. She quacked loudly to her brood, waddled to the edge of the water and then went in. Promptly her brood followed. Now Mrs. Duck led her brood across the stream. When they reached the other side, she found a place for them to climb the bank. She led them down the path to a deep thickness of leaves. Here Mrs. Duck hollowed out a soft nest and coaxed her ducklings to join her. Proudly she looked at them. They were a handsome family. But sudden- 32 THE TATLER ly she gave a cry of alarm. One little duck was missing. However, Mrs. Duck could not leave fourteen babies to go look for one. No, she must stay and protect the babies in the new nest. She settled down on the leaves. And back by the beech tree, the lost duckling walked feebly through the leaves, too cold and hungry to cry very loudly. Its body shivered. After a while the little duck tucked its head under its wing and went to sleep. And there it was found by the greedy fox, for this is the way of the woodland. Shirlene Heath, '57 HILL-903 It's your nineteenth birthday, Bill Morse. It's a cold, wet birthday. It's your first birthday away from home. You're in a position that you wished you'd never be in, at the bottom of hill-903, North Korea. It's been quiet all day and, now that night has set in, you have time to think. Time to think of war. The stinking, rotten war! You've been a family boy all your life, and it's hard to get used to the tortures of war. You feel that if the enemy doesn't get you, the Weather will. Boy, what you would give to be home where you belong. You should be playing base- ball instead of running around a little piece of land, back and forth, over the same territory at least a dozen times a week, getting shot at for something you didn't start in the first place. You get up from the muddy bank of the trench you had helped to dig and splash over to where Bob is sit- ting. Bob Roberts is your best friend in the outfit. He is older than you, and seems to understand. Things al- ways seem all right after talking to him. He is sitting on a rock with water all around him, eating up the con- tents of a can of beans. He grins as you sit down beside him, placing your' MI on your lap, with a heavy sigh. Cold, isn't it Y you ask, tunn- ing your back to the wind. You won't be cold long, Bob answers, tossing the empty bean can over his shoulder. The LT. is taking out a scouting party tonight. You and I are included. We're just lucky that way, Bob says with a laugh. You tilt your helmet to one side and stare at the black overcast sky. A scouting party. What a birthday present! A long, wet, fearful walk into enemy territory. You figure you'd better get some shut-eye. You are wakened by a nudge in the back. It is Bob. Let's go, kid, he says. The rain has stopped and it is getting colder. The party gets briefed on the objective and you're ready to go. The job is to get a line on the enemy strong point a mile up the hill. You check your MI and keep close together as you enter enemy terri- tory. From here on in each man knows anything can happen. You're plenty warm now, Bill Morse, all warm except your hands. They are numb from the cold and sweat on them. You're at the top of a ridge now. Below you to the left is the objective. A well-lighted supply camp with plenty of supplies. The LT. splits the group into twos. You and Bob are to- gether. From here on in, no talking. You must depend on field signals. You finally stop on a crest overlook- ing the southern end of the supply camp. Bob hands you a pad and pen- cil. You both crawl as far as possible to the edge of the crest. Bob surveys the camp with binoculars and begins whispering the amount of tanks, troop trucks, artillery, and big guns on hand, as fast as you can write them down. With the inventory taken on your assigned side of the camp, you proceed back to the meeting place and wait for the rest of the party. It isn't a long wait and soon you are advancing back to your outfit. Your MI becomes heavy and your back be- gins to ache because of walking in a crouched position. It's been quiet throughout the mission. You hope it stays that way. It does. You and Bob stumble into your familiar trench and glance at your matches. One-thirty. You're a pretty tired soldier as you make ready for some sleep. You lie back on the bank of the trench and stare at the sky. The stars seem to be playing tag in the once again clear sky, and in the background you can hear Bob giving 'ihrle details of your inventory to the Your day-dreaming is broken by the splashing footsteps of Bob going to his post further down the trench. He passes by you, stops and turns. HHappy birthday, kid, he says with a tired smile. Still starting at the sky you reply simply, Yeah l You doze off as the sound of Bob's footsteps drifts away from you, and his words echo in your mind. UI-Iappy birthday, kid. Sullivan, '55 THE MOST INTERESTING TRIP I'VE TAKEN My most interesting trip was a short jaunt to the moon, which occu- pied most of the week of August 16, ??74. This was interesting for sev- eral reasons, prime among which was that the infamous Dr. Schlitz, of De- funct University, and a most capable friend, accompanied me. Another valid reason was that we used his brand-new Annihilator Super Delux, Semi-Hard Top Convertible Space Ship, with the thermo-nuclear expan- sion-type motor, and even better, he furnished the fissiohable atoms and molten zinc, which are the rocket age equivalent of high-octane gas. We blasted off from French Equa- torial Zanzibar at about 1100 hours, at which time we would receive the most rotational thrust from the earth. Sailing along leisurely at a mere for- ty-iive hundred m.p.h., I began to THE TATLER 33 think wewould never arrive at Lunar Terminus. But to condense thirty- seven hours into two words, we did. Upon landing, we were surrounded by an enormous, gigantic, very big, huge, extremely large, quite stupen- dous, not to mention colossal, crowd of Luna-tics, called Monstrous Mon- strosities, who looked like people with measles, covered with glue. Quite taken aback by the voluminous ampli- tude of it all, I ran toward the port containing the Cosmo Special, 10,000 volt disintegrator ray cannon. This weapon had the dubious distinction of being as maneuverable as a good sized pachyderm, and about as power- ful as Junior's tricycle on glare ice without chains, but which no self- styled Captain Video should be with- out. Seeing me, Dr. Narragansett- er-Schlitz, grabbed my arm, and simultaneously uttered these choice, sparkling phrases, Don't shoot them, just feed them some bullets. Then if they start shooting off their mouths, we'll clear out. Picking myself up oif the carpet, I complied with his request. As the lunar Aborigines swilled down my ample supply of .44 shells, which I had wisely salvaged from the cam- paign with Admiral Dewey on San Juan Hill, near the Alamo during the Franco-American Spaghetti -- uh - War, knowing they would come in handy some day, I noticed a peculiar reaction. Lumps of assorted sizes, shapes, and hues started popping out all over their transparent little selves. They immediately grew very angry, some literally 'fblowing their tops. About this time a miraculous bit of tensile apparatus contracted, meaning that the main ingregient of our mo- tor, namely a rubber band, had caught on a branch of the local euca- lyptus family tree, and was drawing us in reverse fashion, like a pair of suspenders, back to our own native Afghanistan. We landed in the middle of the Indian Ocean which, as we had done our laundry there before leav- ing, was very soft water. Richard Cash, '54 34 THE TATLER THE MOST INTERESTING EVENT OF MY LIFE Seven thirty a.m., April 9, 1940, peace was shattered in Oslo, Norway, by the invasion overhead followed by sounds of machine guns and anti- aircraft guns on land. The windows in our house were shaking so they had to be barricaded. My father calmly went out after a loaf of bread just as if it were an ordinary day, much to the concern of the rest of us. He was considered lucky to get back alive. Evacuations were being carried out. We lived in the suburbs so we had twenty people staying with us. Some remained there even after we left. We had the radio going continuous- ly for news. The Nazis had taken con- trol of everything, including guns, so everything was quiet for a while. Then British planes bombed day and night to rid the city of Nazis. This went on until the end of the war. Oslo surrendered at three forty- flve p.m., April 9, 1940. Six hundred British and French planes and many battleships were busy. The radio was entirely under German control. If we wished to listen to other programs we would have to do it in secret. Every- thing was in a continual blackout. The patients in all the city's hospitals were turned out, no matter how sick, to make room for wounded Nazis. Everyone was under surveillance of Nazi guards. People who didn't co- operate were tortured and shot. I was two and a half when we car- ried out our plans for escape. There were about thirty Norwegian Ameri- cans in our group. We escaped from Norway and traveled to Sweden by train. From there we went to Ger- many by boat which was a dangerous journey because the waters were thickly infested with mines. At the customs house in Germany we were met by German officers who let us through without any red tape because we were American citizens. From there we went to Genoa, Italy, to catch the ship that was to takf us to the United States. We rr ian. -d in Italy eight days. We arrived in Am- erica May 28, 1940. Astrid Thorvaldsen, '56 MY SCHOOL DAYS Gee, how I dislike going to school! I would rather go out skating. There wouldn't be any homework to do, And nights I could be dating. Some of the strange things I learn in school To me are still a mystery. Daniel Boone couldn't even spell Bear, Yet he went down in history. I have to rise early in the morning And start along the way. I wouldn't mind going once a year, But why go every day? Deanne Arthur, '55 SKATING When winter comes and the ponds all freeze, We dig out our skates from under the eaves. If the ice is good and the crowd gets to- gether, We have loads of fun in spite of the weather. In the daytime the sun shines brightly above, Our hearts overHow with friendship and love. At night moon and stars twinkle high overhead, And young and old soon forget about nearly to bed. Sara Simonton, '57 BAD WAITRESS It was back in the summer of '53 VVhen the boss of the restaurant came to me. You're fired! he said, he was very brief, I tried very hard to conceal my grief. He bellowed my faults loud and clear, And out of my eye there dripped a tear. I tried my best, was all I could say. t'Once too often you've dropped a tray. You sit and be lazy, he said to me, While the other waitress works like a bee. You see, as a waitress I'm just NO good, I guess my head is made of wood. Joan Norwood, '56 THE TATLER 35 I lumni The following is a copy of the let- ter sent to members of the class of '40 and the replies which were re- ceived.

There's a chicken so we must be near a farm. 'iThat's not a chicken, Joan. That's the weathercock on the town school house. A TURN FOR THE WORSE Melvin: Doctor, what I need is some- thing to stir me up-something to put me in fighting trim. Did you put anything like that in this prescription ? bqlfoctorz No. You will find that in the 1 . GONE, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN A kindhearted farmer told Herbie Annis, whose load of hay had overturned in the road, to forget his troubles and come in and have dinner with his family. There would be time enough to right the hayrack after a good meal. Herbie demurred: he said he didn't think his father would like it. But the farmer persisted and won. After the meal, Herbie said he felt better and expressed his appreciation of the hospital- ity. At the same time he was sure his father Wouldn't like it. Nonsense!'l said the host. By the way, he added, where is your father? t'He's Linder the hay! said Herbie, KING SIZE Floridian Cpicking up a melonlz HIS this the largest apple you can grow in your state? Californian: t'Stop fingering that grape! N0 SYMPATHY For 20 years, Ted, the automobile me- chanic, had always been on time for work. One morning, however, he reported a hour late. When his boss, Russell Staples, demand- ed to know why he was late, Ted explained: I leaned out a window after breakfast and fell three stories. Russell shrugged. 'AAnd that takes you an hour? ONE-TRACK MIND Harold: When is your sister thinking of getting married ? Judy: Constantly. THE HARD WAY Cynthia: 'AIt's absurd for this man to charge us ten dollars for towing us three miles. Granville: 'AThat's all right. He's earning itvl have my brakes on. HERO WORSHIP A Bostonian visiting San Antonio asked a native: What is that dilapidated looking ruin over there? That, suh, is the Alamo, where 136 im- mortal Texans held off an army of 15,000 of Santa Anna's regulars for four daysf! Um-m-mf' said the Bostonian, and who was that man on horseback on the hill over there? That. suh, is a statue of a Texas ranger who killed 46 Apaches in single-handed combat and broke up 27 riots in his life- time. Where you from, stranger? I'm from Boston. We have our heroes, too-Paul Revere, for instance. Paul Revere! snorted the Texan. You mean that fellow who had to ride for help ? THE TRUTH ABOUT MONEY ' Another reason you can't take it with you-it goes before you do. A SOOTHSAYER Dot Ogier Went to a palmist to have her hand read. Palmist: UI see you are in love with a tall man with a front tooth missing. Dot: That's right. I see he has asked you to marry him. Yes, that's right. And his name is Bill Jones. That's marvelous! How can you tell all that from the lines on my hand? It's not the lines I'm telling by!! the palmist said. 'tIt's the ring you're Wearing. I gave it back to Bill two weeks ago.
