Every year, however, the incoming classes have been larger than the graduating ones. Consequently our enrollment has increased accordingly. This fall such a large freshman class enrolled that another classroom and an extra teacher were required in order to retain our standing as a Class A high school. About BO more movable chairs were purchased and installed in the lab- oratory. This suffices for the new recitation room. Although it serves temporarily, the heating, lighting, and acoustic properties are unsatisfactory for permanent use. As our extra teacher, we are fortunate in having Mr, Harry Tyler. He is an alumnus of this high school, a graduate of Gorham Normal School and of the University of Maine. A third change this year was the division of the freshman class into two parts for English, algebra, and civics. More equipment has also been purchased for the physics course. It has been needed for several years. More is also required to keep abreast with scientific progress. The course is much more interesting and in- structive with the proper equipment for experiments. Last year there was some agitation over the building of an addition to the high school, which was to contain another classroom and proper indoor athletic facilities. In the future this change will be more in demand than at present. Now it is comfortably crowded, but several years hence, it will be uncomfortably over- crowded.

HCT LUNCHES This year, along in the middle of the fall term, hot lunches were started in our high school. All four faculty members and approximately 70? of the stu- dents gave the plan their enthusiastic support. The first few days only seniors were given the chance to be served. Then, when a system had been established, and committees chosen, all classes were admitted. Girls from the two upper classes prepare and serve the food under the supervision of a faculty mem- ber. They also keep the dining room, an this case the laboratory, in order. Students sign up by placing their names on the blackboard up to a deadline of thirzy minutes before the noon period. In many schools hot lunches are prepared and served by the school cafeteria or domestic science class. As we have neither of these, no plan had been found of serving pupils until this year, Now, however, we have a practicable plan and it looks as if hot lun- ches were here to stay. USE OF LEISURE HOURS Who is there who has no leisure time, at least during some part of the day? Many people think they do not have, but one can find such people gossiping over the telephone at almost any hour of the day, and their evenings are nearly always free. Those who admit that they have much time to spare are always confronted with the question: nWhat shall I do?n There are many answers to that. Une of the most enjoyable ways to spend one's leisure is, I think, the movies. Lately the most popular pictures are those taken from books and most people find these very interesting especially if they have read the story. So, though a few think that moving pictures are a bad influence and tend to make gangsters and other under- world characters cut of young boys, I would suggest on a rainy evening or even on a pleasant one, the movies Next to the movies are the dances which are attended by young and old, Even if you do not dance, why not go to hear the music? After a holiday or a week-end, what gossiper would not like to come home and tell her neighbors about her wonderful trip through the mountains or her sail on one of the Great Lakes? Such trips ought to provide topics for conversation for a time and pleasant memories for life. Again, for nature lovers, the best 1 y n .44 1 f 1 x 31 fi ,,s,.,s..lts,.. .ss fffi-E 3PsE,.5.QEN'3 ...cfs ......i, si. place is a walk through the woods. Fetween the attrac- tiveness of the birds and flowers, it is doubtful if one would remember to go home, For persons who like to stay at home, the great- est pleasure is derived from reading and handiwork as well as listening to the radio. The program of the latter is so diverse that it can please even the most particular. It also is a never-ending source of infor- mation as to what is going on in this world of ours. These are only a few of the recreations, but there are many more. Why not gc to church Cr spend an evening in the public library? Surely there will be nothing to lose and much to gain. Possibly these are not the best ways of spend- ing one's leisure hours, but there is always a chance for impr vementg If not, what would be the use in doing anything? THE SACO High up in the White Mountains There bubbles a little spring, And down among the rocks, Its running waters sing. It winds along the valleys, ' And the rolling hills entwines, And ever murmurs softly Under the shading pines. It flows acrrss the border Of our own State of Maine, And as it hurries onward, In speed its waters gain. New many miles from the ocean, A beautiful gorge it forms, And its sweeping, foaming waters Splash high in autumn storms. And so from small beginning But stronger grown each day, The dear-loved beautiful Saco Goes singing on its way. L4J,'58 Nothing is so infectious as example. -- Charles Kingsley .lm 5 ,. 1 Li .

Some exchange ediuors have a tsnoency to criticise their exchanges, either adversely cr cons structively. Since I do not set myself up as a critic I believe that the arimary function cf the Efqhnrge Department is not to cfiticise these magazines and papers but to show the readers of their own Nagar zine through the eyes of the exchange editor what these other school papers have in the way of inter- esting features. ' With this aim in mind I have set down my reactions and observations on the publications which have come here to our Exchange Department. Although some of the comments may seem critical, they are merely intended to show the WCrescentW readers what these other school magazines are like. NLasell Leavesn--Lasell Junior College, Auburn dale, Mass. Lasell Junior College enrolls only young women. The cover design of their magazine is very attractive. Also the reprints from older copies of nLasell Leavesn starting with an editorial in the UBoston Postn in 1878 and ending with the Lasell cat- alog of 1892-95 are very interesting. Other literary efforts include an article on the Wwayside Inna of Sudbury, Mass, which is now owned by Henry Ford, 8 short original poem on Rastus, the raccoon mascot of Lasell, and several excellent briefs on recent books, The story of Abraham Lincoln and how he made his decision to oppose Stephen Douglas and become the idol and leader of the Republicans is a masterpiece. NNortheastern Newsn--Northeastern University, Boston, Mass. This is a weekly paper of four pages.

Notes from the Rifle, Radi Law and Forth Shore Clubs are written up. Fraterni and sports news is featured. 'K ,,, L y nTne Signetn--N.H.Fay High School, Dexter, Maine. The literary department starts with excellent editorials on 'Civic Imurovement', 'What Is Educa- tian?', 'Resolutions and the American Flag', and then follown a very interesting and complete school calen- dar. Lastly comes an extensive collection of stories and articles, all above average. The Athletic Editor deserves a vote of thanks for the summaries of foot- ball, basketball, and baseball. UThe Hebroniann--Hebron Academy, Hebron, Maine sports news of well- .Blaine sets if they are C This is also a paper. It is chock full of The literary department contains a variety written stories.

A mimeographed yearbook of excellent quality. The literary department contains many inter- esting stories. The picture of the Academy gym is striking and should be seen to be appreciated as I can not adequately describe it. The joke department has much good material. The exchange list is an excellent one, but comments and extracts from these exchanges would improve it. WRed and Whiten--Sanford High School, Sanford, Maine. Our third exchange paper. Sports news and student chatter are abundant. The HBirthdays of the Month' Club is certainly a novel idea. UThe Four Cornersn--Scarboro High School, Scar- boro, Maine. The literary section has fine articles and stories. The article on the lighting of the radio towers is expecially interesting, The Poet's Corner is the largest and best of all comers.

When we are tendered a paper dollar in exchange for goods we have worked hard to produce, it is not because the comparative real values are equal that we accept it. We accept the paper because of its purchasing power, In Germany, not so long ago, paper currency became absolutely worthless. It became so that a man had all he could do to push enough in front of him in a wheel bar- row to pay his rent, finally, even to purchase a loaf of bread. Germany had become a victim of inflation. They had issued paper currency until there was not enough gold in the vaults to back it up. The value started decliningg the more they issued the lower the value went until it became worthless, ' 'Mr. Roosevelt, from the first of his administra- tion, has endorsed controlled inflation.

Everyone who could afford to was hiring the vil- lage seamstress, Mrs. Sands, and the only milliner for miles around, Mrs. Swett, te make up stiff black taf- fetas and brocaded velvets and satins into gowns and bonnets much bedecked with Jet or lace trimming. These gowns had very tight fitting bodices with huge sleeves and were Wstayedu with whale bones, often laced up with fancy cord of a contrasting color. The skirts were very full and stiffened with pasteboard or buckram around the bottom. Lace shawls and kerchiefs and mits, with ostrich feather fans and much jewelry, completed the costume. On this particular morning as one peeps into the household of Ezra Jones and his wife Lydia, one sees the eldest daughter Betsey Jane and a younger sister Matilda standing beside a large, hand-made table in the middle of the kitchen floor. Beside Betsey Jane is the old Wup-and-downn churn from which she has just removed a large roll of golden butter, in one hand she hasta wooden paddle with which she has Nworkedu the butter until the buttermilk is all out, and beside her on the table is a cotton cloth bag on which are the words Uworcester Saltu and a small, round wooden stamp is immersed in a large, brick- red pottery bowl full of icy cold water, She is engaged in conversation with Matilda who stands at the other end of the table preparing rhubarb turnovers as a dessert for the noon meal. They are dressed in the prevailing fashion of the time. Their dresses are of figured cotton, trimmed with numerous ruffles, and handeknit cotton lace trims the neck and sleeves. They also wear caps to match. These girls can spin, weave cloth, knit, and sew, love dearly to dance, and serve tea to friends who Wdropn in afternoons.

All ages alike join in quilting- bees, husking-bees, parties, and prayer meetings. West of the clothing is woven and spun from wool from sheep raised on the farm, and the cotton cloth is usually bought by the bolt and made up into garments by hand in the home. Horseback riding is the most widely used means of travel at this time, but the family possess a chaise and silver mounted harness. Peace and contentment seem to reign everywhere and parents and children appear happy and satisfied with their lot. The girl of 1935 lolls around the breakfast table in pajamas of vivid colors, probably smoking a cigarette and reading a True Story Magazine , Clara and Ruth go into the living room while their mother is out in the kitchen doing the daily work. Both girls long for excitement, but neither one is ambitious enough to help Mother in the kitchen. Late in the forenoon they unlock the garage and drive out the most luxurious car their parents can afford and doubtless it is bought through finance. They call at the nearest filling station and ask for five gallons of ngasu and a quart of oilg the driver then tells the service station employee to charge it to their father. After the afternoon at Old Orchard Beach, bathing on the beach scantily clad in a fashionable suit, they refresh themselves in a nearby beaut , devour a cone of ice cream, have a ride on the round, join a party of their young friends in a er lobby, see a movie, partake of a light supper, fear of becoming as fat as their Mother wind up the at a dance to jazz music, and retire about the ti the old-fashioned rooster would be waking his mas On Sat the work is left for their Wother.

Miss 1955 is often unhappy because she spends so much of her time searching for pleasure and excitement that she is never satisfied and her life is in a constant turmoil. THE STORM What Ol' Ely Lacey said was usually right. There was no need for a newspaper in the little village of Sunnybridge as far as the weather report was concerned, for Ol' Ely could tell you whether tomorrow was going to be fair or stormy. The neighbors often wondered how Ely knew so much about the weather, but after they had known him for a while, they never questioned that he wasn't a sure enough weather prophet, Ely set his heavy overshoes down beside the kit- chen stove apggsaid to his wife, nI'm thinking there's go ing to be jj lffrm, Marilla .

' nHuh, I guess you don't know Ely Lacey,n mur- mured the villager. When the last light in Sunnybridge went out and the inhabitants were sleeping peacefully, snow began to fall silently. After four inches of snow had fallen, the wind began to blow. In the morning the town was covered with a white blanket, but the blanket did not remain still, for it was snowing harder than ever and 2 v 5 my 0 Y yn.

I was thinking of school as I jumped into bed. The pictures were coming next Tuesday night, I won- dered if I would have a chance to go to them. I thought of the basketball game the Buxton bcys had lost last Friday night. I couldn't remember a time this year when they had won a game. Still they weren't so bad. In the Checker Tournament one of the Buxton boys had won the prize for us. In the spelling contest another had neceived a medal which was certainly something to be proud of even if he hadn't won first place. Yes, we had some pretty good teams in practically evcrythingg in baseball, in basketball, in track. Our trophy case was full of cups and plaques and perhaps the boys would pick up in basketball later. I hoped so. The girls were better, though. They had won a few games thus far and would probably win more. In speaking, we were pretty well up. Sometimes we had taken first place. There are some very good speakers in Buxton High and they make good actors, too. I began to think of my chum, Anne. Anne was full of fun. I liked to hear her talk. Her voice was sweet, yet she was always saying something to make you laugh. She was pretty, prettier than any other girl I knew, and smart, too. She never seemed to study, but she always seemed to know her lessons thoroughly. I sometimes wondered how she did itg I couldn't. Even though I studied, I couldn't seem to answer half the questions they asked me. I wondered if I'd pass in the French exam next week. Perhaps not, but I'd study hard and try, too. -- I thought of my other classmates. Some were quite smart, others as dumb as myself. Still Anne had chosen me for her chum, even if I was dumb. She didn't mind it. -- s 11 H F1 That was a pretty good beck which we were get- ting for the school library. I had read it ence. When we had it, I would read it again. It was the story of a lame child who had grown up and become love and kindness to others. It was a famous fcr his good story. -- What could I get Anne for her birthday next month?

It was to get the right I seemed to be walking, walking all the time. But soon I came to a door marked WCcme inn. Wondering what it could mean, I opened it a bit and peeped in. What I saw there startled me. Seated on a cushion in a corner was a donkey that had an open and was studying very hard. Once in a book in his lap while he stopped to scratch his head. I noticed that it was a French book. I needed to study that, tcog perhaps we cculd study together. I opened the door a little wider and the donkey looked up. Then I was startled again, It was a donkey, but it had Anne's face and features! What could be the matter? But my amazement soon in- creased as I saw the face changing to mine. What was wrong? I looked again at the French book, but it wasn't 2 book, it was an examination paper, French, with a red F at the top. Was I going to get an F on my exam next week? Was that what it meant? I door and fled. -- quickly shut the I had walked and walkedg for how long, I had no idea, but I did know I was very tired. on the ground to rest. As I did so, I So I sat down saw a picture before me. It seemed like a moving picture, so I watched it. At one side of the room - it was a room, but quite bare - was a high desk covered with books, one large one in the middle, open. Behind it sat an old man, a judge, I guessed, at sight of his robe. It might have been my grandfather, it wasn't, but his face was exactly like mine. Before the desk were several people, some old, some young. One I noticed especially was a young lad who was held on either side by two men. The Judge was talking. Mercy! his voice was just like mine, too. WDid you get an F on your examination paper?W he asked the boy in a stern voice.

Violet Pennell '57 THE EFFECT FF HEAT In a small country schoolhcuse on the tcp of a slight hill, the school master was trying his best to teach the required lessons to a group of hot and listless students. It was a hot day-for May and flies were buzz- ing in and out cf the wide open windows. The air was still and heavy as the weather man predicted a stcrm. The master was just finishing a history lesson during which the class had been very inattentive. Hew- ever, he could not blame them, for it was in the air. Right new they were slamming their books into their desks and hauling out rather large geographies. The master opened his geogrpahy book and then thought better cf the idea. Then he told the class to take out their English stories that had been written earlier in the day, Another clatter ensuedg and when finally silenced, the students sat sprawled in their seats waiting for the teacher to call on them. After a few of the stories had been read and commented on, the master called on Percy. As his name indicated, he was what might be called Nteacher's petn. Needless tc say, he was his mother's Upetn, too. Spot- lessly attired when he left for school that morning and new only slightly rumpled, he arose and read flaw- lessly a flawlessly constructed composition. Next he called on Jimmy. Jimmy wasn't adept at writing so the master didn't expect much. But he cert- ainly was surprised when Jimmy, locking hot and mussed, with his tie askew and his sleeves rolled up, arose and read the following: x 3. 1, ' f vi E 3. v A' 92 F , .nd 1,3 - l cams: 1 Gats unless they are hsbqtailed.

J,,THE CRESCENT -pg, 1 -. .Y 40 HCNESTY IN PRCFESSICNAL SPORTS Among the major professional sports are hockey, baseball, football, and golf. Hockey is just over, base- ball aid golf getting underway, and football forgotten until fall. The major event cf the hockey season is the battle for the Stanley Cup. The upper teams of each division stage a battle royal. This year the final series between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Maroons was settled in three straight games. If it had gone four or even five games, both clubs would have made more money. But they didn't. Of lesser importance is the Fontaine Cup Series. This series was also settled in three straight games. One of the managers of the competing clubs said that by having only three games instead of more the club lost twenty five thousand dollars. This is the way professional hockey is run, The fans are quick to detect any hocus' pocus. They like honesty best. In major league baseball last year a very striking example was furnished by Lynwood Rowe, star pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. He had won sixteen consecutive games tying the American League record. If he should win hrs next game, he would set a new record which had never before been seen in the American League. He did not win the game. The Philadelphia Athletics with Johnny Marcum pitching and 70 year-old Connie Mack as manager defeated. him, High Commissioner of baseball, Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis issued the following statement: WBy stop- ping Rowe's streak at sixteen straight wins, the Athletics proved that there is no crockedness in major league base- ball. It could not have been proved more conclusively.W Among the most important figures in baseball are the umpires. They have to be honest. Without honest umpires the game would not be where it is. Umpires have to pass a rigcrous trial before they enter the major leagues. Their record in the minor leagues is studied. They are personally examined. They are rated chiefly for their knowledge of the rules, ability to seo plays, honesty and ability to run a game smoothly. Of these qualities the most important is honesty. The next is probably ability to run a game smoothly. As an example I will give an incident which is called the most trying an umpire was ever in. Hank 0'Day, one of the best there was, was the umpire. The Chicago Cubs and 5 E it Q Q E Q E ge 2 PS Qs Va 5 pol' o g g ,THE QRESQENT g i- 1 New York Giants, bitter rivals, were playing. .The score was tied. The Giants had a runner on third and Fred Merkle on first. The batter made a safe hit. The Giant runner on third scored. Merkle, on his way from first to second, saw the run had scored so he out across the field to the dressing room instead of touching second, Evers, second baseman of the Cubs, remained at his post and shouted for the ball. A Giant player, understanding Evers' idea, dashed out and intercepted the throw. Then he hurled the ball far out of the field into the crowd of fans filing from the stands. The Cubs went after it. They seconded it and tossed it to Evers, still on second base. He tagged the base and rushed up to the umpire declaring Merkle out and the run not scored. The Cubs supported him. The Giants contended that players had always done what Merkle had done and it was all right. A crowd of players and fans surrounded O'Day, the umpire. He was calm. The fact that players had always done what Merkle had done made no difference. He upheld the Cubs. At the end of the year the Giants and Cubs were tied. The game was ordered replayed. The Cubs won the game and so the pennant. So much for G'Day. When the time came he showed his ability. Everyone upheld his dec'sion. As to honesty: Cne umpire told this Story: The day before an important game he was called into a hotel room where sat a big-shot gambler. A roll of bills, more than his year's salary, lay on the bed. All was his for throwing the game the next day. He said nothing. He turned cn his heel and walked out. As another old umpire observed? UWe cannot afford to be dishonest.W Professional baseball has far more followers than professional football, Yet every year more and more people come to watch nShipwreckN Kelly, Beattie Feathers, Bronko Nagurski and all the rest display their wares. There is no notable instance of chance for cheat- ing that did not materialize in football. But last year the Chicago Bears had defeated everybody. In the playoff the New York Giants defeated tham. In golf many strange things can happen. In the Master's Tournament recently played at Augusta, Georgia, Henry Picard of Hershey, Fenna. led the first two rounds. Then he faded badly. When the finals came, Gene Sarazen made a miracle shot of some two hundred yards to tie Craig Wood. In the playoff Sarazen won. Here I have given only a brief sketch of various notable happenings. There are many of these, some large, some small. Yet I think without a doubt that anybody who knows these four major professional sports will agree with me that they are run as clean and as honestly as possible. Deane Jewett '56 Win :Q f 54? F!

Many are sr impressed that they will do nothing on Friday unless it is absolutely necessary, fearing evil results. Many others will not conduct business deals on that day, or start journeys, or make plans, for the unlucky come to belief. the bad future, so convinced are they that Friday is and that everything started on that day will naught. History does not seem to coincide with this People who have this superstition always recall things that occur on that day, never the times when good fortune comes to them. The Declaration of Independence everyone must admit was one of the luokiest events in American his- tory. The Battle of Bunker Hill was fought on Friday, and, while it was a decidedly unfortunate battle for the English, it was exactly the opposite for the Amer- icans. So in this instance the question of good luck or bad is simply in the point of view. A little over three hundred years ago the May- flower landed its human cargo on the shores of Plymouth, Mass, on a Friday, and who will deny that this event WHS OT16 of the luckiest for America in the history of the nation? born on and was Washington, the Father of our Country, was Friday, and was he not an extremely lucky man, not the republic extremely fortunate in hav- ing this great man to lead it through the days of the revolution? Shakespeare was born on a Friday, certainly a very lucky event for the literature of the world. America was discovered on a Friday, unquestion- ably a piece of luck for the New World, as well as for Columbus because no one can imagine what might have happened, or how far the world might have progressed if this navigator had not had the courage to sail out on the unknown Nsea of darknessn in search of lands that no one ever suspected were in existence. Fort Sumter was bombarded on a Friday, and while many think this event very unlucky because it engaged America in a four years' war, yet who will deny that the cost of the struggle was well-paid for through the preservation of the Union and the freeing of the slaves? Again Lee surrendered on a Friday. UUnluckyn, 41 .f F .4 Z Lf 5 Te: 1? 1 F1 f1 pq the superstitious would say, Wfor the South.U But is it really true? Would it not have been very unfortunate if the South had won its fight for State's rights and the Union had been destroyed? If this had been the case, would we have been today the most prosperous nation in tne world? Probably we should have been only a group of small governments, possibly all fighting among ourselves and we might have been conquered by some other nation, Using the same arguments as these, it must be argued that the fact that Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy, was abandoned by the Southern forces on a Friday was very fortunate for the country. . Thus it may be seen that there may be a very wide difference of opinion as to the popular superstition applying to Friday and that there is every reason to be- lieve that this day is just as unlucky as any other in the week, I believe that it is even more lucky when viewed from the standpoint of history and the record of great events which have occurred on it. Helen McKenney '58 A BURIED HATCHET Judith Jackson and Carolyn Bruce, two lovable school girls, through no fault of their own, were bitter enemies, The two families to which they belonged had been at enmity for past generations. Naturally the two had grown up with a feeling of distrust toward each other. No bitter words ever passed between the two. They simply ignored each other, They seemed to understand that this attitude was expected of them and gave little thought to the reason. Soon they were to compete in a swimming contest. Although there were many contestants in this race, the spectators, judges, and other contestants felt that the race would be won by either Judith Jackson or Carolyn Bruce, as they were outstanding in their swimming ability. As the hours flew swiftly by, they at last brought that eventful day. Over a thousand spectators thronged the shore of the lake, talking, laughing, and shouting. At last the starter pressed through the crowd to the front. He instantly saw that everyone was ready to go and he blew his whistle shrill and loud. They were off! How excited everyone was! Although the peanut vendors shouted, UPeanuts, candy, chewing gum W in harmonious tones, the spectators ignored them, SO ima pressed were they with the two girls who, as expected, had left the others far behind. Calmly Judith and Carolyn swam with long, even strokes, every stroke bringing them nearer the goal. Now Carolyn was ahead, now Judith, and now they were side ,L ,l 4 , W A xx-I ,H . , 5 1 5-rv Au: e e I 'fHE...Q33E5CENT.. -..lil ...ae t -ae by side. Was it possible that they would thus reach the goal together, each winning the same honor? No, Carolyn was in the lead. Judith was swimming with all there was in her, but in vain. For some minutes they continued thus until at last Carolyn seemed to be losing strength and fell behind, Suddenly the screams and cheers of the crowd fell to a hushed murmur. Sensing that something was wrong, Judith looked back to find that her opponent was bravely endeavoring to overcome the faintness which was causing her to lose strength. Not wishing for her rival to know her condition, Carolyn would not cry out. Eorgetting rivalry, forgetting lifelong prejudice, yes, forgetting the prize for which she was striving, she thought only of poor Carolyn and turned in pity. She kept the drowning girl's head above water until help came. Although a beautiful medal was awarded Judith for her bravery, she cherished more the friendship that was es- tablished between the two girls and their families. At last the hatchet was buried. Eunice Hefler '58 HOW TO CATCH A TROUT One day in early spring I thought I'd like to go fishing. I hunted up an old hook and line, then went out in the back yard to dig some angleworms. nNow I'm already to go, I'll just ask Dad if I may, and of course he'll let- me,W I said to myself as I started for the house. NYes, you may go fishing,W Dad said, Nbut first let me give you a few lessons on fishing. I remember how when I was a boy, every rainy day in spring, I liked to get out fishing. You know, son, the best time to catch trout is just after a heavy shower before the brook has become discolored too much, I always used worms, although some of the boys used flies or grasshopoers. HWalk along on the shores and remember you should fish near the bottom of the stream, not on the surface, as trout do not take surface baits at this time of the year. Trout seem to lie on the bottom with their heads upstream, waiting for food to float downstream to them. After talking a while longer, Dad said, UDo you think you can remember those things?W U0h, sure,n I said and started off to try my luck. After fishing all day, I returned home with only one trout. UWell,n said father,nif you had fished as'I told you to, you would have gotten more trout. Next time I'll o with you. g Ma looked at me and smiled. Harold Smith '59 JV .E 5-,.Wf. 1 La?
