Or if we miss an appointment we pacify ourselves by listening to Father Bar- bour dictate to his family or Jack Benny maneuver his jaloppy. However, at the present, the trend is to select programs not merely for entertainment but also those with cultural values. If you have never listened to the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, listen for the music may appeal to you or you may visualize the work necessary to conduct an orchestra of over one hundred and fifty pieces and you will find yourself ap- preciating tho classical music of Beethoven and Mozart. A great many programs have been dedicated to some direct cause. The majority of these are to fight crime. Concerning the growth of our nation, historical dramas play their part admirable with a cast of well fitted actors. Almost any evening you may enjoy a choir accompanied by an organ and what is more beautiful than such a combination? We must not forget the World of Sports for they play a prominent part in life to-day. The football games, horseraces and fights hold us in our homes nearly as spellbound as they do the spectators in the stadium. Many people are not rightly radio-conscious to-day - that is they do not listen to the programs which are most beneficial. The value of radio can only bu determined by the lis- teners thus cultural progress by this radio depends on the individual. Winifrcd Carll '40 , 6 THE CRESCENT Interesting Places of Buxton The Saco, a river rising in New Hampshire, flows through many towns which are noted for their beautiful scenery. At Salmon Falls on the Saco are two of these works of nature. The river itself flows between two roads, one being in Buxton and the other in Hollis. The quaint little settlements at Salmon Falls are mostly old and Historical Homes, one of course being the home of the late Kate Douglass Wiggin. Salmon Falls one of the noted places for summer residence as well as a place for sight-seers. If one should go there, two places of interest would be looked upon as beautiful sceneryg these are Pleasant Point and Indian Gellar. Indian Cellar is a canyon of rugged and smooth rocks. This is located on the left hand side of the road just as you cross the bridge from Buxton. One must go through a shady woodland path down the side of the river, where one may look from dizzy heightsg see the water playing catch with itself, hear the rumble and thunder as the water lashes the rocks,--with angerg and feel the vast power of nature. After a walk of about a quarter of a mile a person is amazed by the small shrubs and trees growing out from the rocks of the canyon. A person also can see the beautiful Saco wind its way in and out of the rocks in the bottom of the pit. People coming and going from this place also adds to the environment of the canyon. Many men, women, and children who visit this canyon also visit the other place of interest which is Pleasant Point, it is located on the banks ef the Saco which is known now as the Woodman Reservation. At the entrance marked by two stone posts the home of Capt- ain Joseph Woodman once stood. The first tannery, the first brick-yard, and the first tavern were built here. A fort was also built here for the protection of the people from the Indians. To-day one can see people swimming in the river and others play- ing and lounging on the sandy beach. This is surrounded by a high rocky hill. Upon this hill is an old cemetery where many old settlers were laid at rest many years ago. The grounds which descends to the southwest overlooks a beautiful grave and the Saco River beyond at the foot of one of the wildest and most romantic gorges along its course. Pleasant Point is visit- ed by hundreds of people Sundays as well as during the week. We people of this town look upon this place as being barren in the winter, but in the summer Salmon Falls is one of the most beautiful settlements on the banks of the Saco.

In this modern age, these should play a very prominent part in the classrooms of all up-to-date schools Pictures are used for teaching very young children to a great advantage therefore, why not continue thru the entire educational period? At the age of five years or the more mature age of twenty-one, most minds are objects visualized make a more vivid and on then, while paragraph after paragraph are read, are but mere words. It would be a distinct advantage to various classroom work. writings of Dickens, and would be very impressive this literature could be classes. and instructive produced on the so sensitive that permanent impression of description which have movies in of Shakespeare, the The great books many other familiar authors' works te'the students, if screen in the English In the General Science room, examples of friction, inertia and gravity could be expressed in movies in the most striking manner so that everyone would know the definitions when asked in an examination. The experiments in Physics and Chemistry could be explained so clearly and concisely in pictures, that all students could work then out after class. Sound films are a great advantage over the silent ones because we learn , through hearing as well as through seeing. Films on farming and soil conservation would be very beneficial to the boys taking the agricultural course. History often times creates no enthusiasm for the student when he must study events such as the settling of the West, the laying of the Atlantic cable, the founding of the colonies and many other high points in the heritage of our country. However, when the student secs a picture depicting these events he is able to remember them longer because he sees and hears them living at the time of the event.

This was left to the school by the late Samuel D. Hanson. The interest from this fund is to be used for the purpose of obtaining things g which would be considered luxuries. We have recently purchased a newBell-Howell sound film machine. We were able to obtain this by using the interest' from the Hanson Fund, proceeds from school activities and J with a liberal trade-in allowance from our old machine, thus making sound pictures possible without additional cost to the taxpayers. 8 THE CRESCENT IN THIS LAND OF OURS nMy Country 'Tis Of Theen was the title of the editorial which won the Pulitzer Prize last year. It was written by Ronald Calvert, associate editor of the Portland nOregonian.u This is reprinted from the Vermont Insurance Journal. The title of the editorial is enough to stir the patriotism of any Americen.w More intriguing is the manner of presentation, which in substance follows: H nln this land of ours, the man we choose as our leader at no time dons uniform or insignia to denote his position as commander-in-chief of armed forces. nln this land of ours, the average citizen sees so little of the army that he has not learned to distinguish between a major and a lieutenant from his shoulder straps. nln this land of ours, there is no tramp of military boots to entertain the visiting statesmen. ,nln this land of ours, there is no fortification along the several thousand miles of the northern border. Nln this land of ours, no youth is conscripted to labor on devices of defense. Military training he may take or leave at option. mln this land of ours, one-third of the population is foreign born, or native-born of foreign or mined parentage. The foreign-born of races that assimilable are admitted to all privileges if they want them. nln this land of ours, the common citizen may criticize without restraint the policies of Government or the aims of the chief executive. nln this land of ours, our songs are dedicated to love and romance, the blue of the night, sails in the sunset, and not to might or to a martyrdom to a political cause. In lighter patriot- ism we are nationally cosmopolitan and sing of Dixie or of Ioway where the tall corn grows, of springtime in the Rockies,or1of California, here I come. Uln this land of ours, there is not a bomb-proof shelter and a gas mask is a curiosity. nln this land of ours, troubles, present and prospective, come from within-come from our own mistakes and injure us alone. nln this land of ours, we have illuminated the road to permanent peace. But that is not the sole moral sought herein to be drawn. Rather it is that the blessings of liberty and equality and peace that have been herein recounted are possessed nowhere in the same measure in Euro e or Asif, and wane or diss ear P P as one nears or enters a land of dictatorship of whatever brand. This liberty, this equality, this peace, are imbedded in the American form of government. Wwe shall ever retain them if foreign+isms that would dig them out and destroy them are barred from our shores. If you cherish this liberty, this equality, this peace that is peace material and peace spiritual-then defend with all your might the American ideal of government.n .Jw - 'I flz x fm W 1 ! gg? -'Wi W5 'Q' 6?-GTA QL ,iv Q f wt I C' ,fbi-'iTfULif' X' L1 1, ff E I f X 4 1 if fb 1 ' N Q s El J 1 V! , if K i 1, li ' ' H , u R X if 5 4 V XX J j 'i , - rs i -,v 'P :'v- -1... .im , ' ':f..

School Picnic This fall our school activities opened September 22 nd, with a joint picnic with Hollis High School. The beginning events took place at the West Buxton baseball diamond where both boys and girls participated in baseball games. Later the party adjourned to Bonny Eagle Lake where hot dogs and marshmallows were cooked over an open fire. Christmas Party The Christmas party this year was held st the high school During the first part of the program, we enjoyed sound films presented by the Bicknell Studio of Portland. Following this was the exchange of presents and the afternoon closed with refreshments served by the faculty. Prize Speaking This year found it more difficult te determine the contestants for the annual prize speaking contest. For the past years, it has been required that each member of the student body make preparations for the try-outs from which a division of twelve is chosen. An improvement of particular notice is that considerable more effort was made and more interest taken by the individuals. -nun-3--- .A-1 THE CRESCENT TWENTY-FIFTH ANNUAL PRIZE SPEAKING CONTEST BUXTON CENTER BAPTIST CHURCH APRIL 5, 1959 INVOCATION Rev.

Our precious burden was loaded onto the sled, se- curely wrapped and tied. We started out at a swift pace and soon found ourselves at Hollis, the home of the HSunbeamn. At first glance we noticed some amusing jokes, but thought individual senior pictures would improve it. Hastening to Limerick we found the nSokokisn, and believe you have a very fine literary department and jokes. Continuing our journey, we made our next stop at Parsonsfield Seminary, home of the nPar Sem.U It has a very attractive cover and is very neatly done, but a few pictures would help give you a better year-book. We next went to Cornish, the home of the nPine Conen. A quick once-over proved it to contain some fine stories and a-clever department, nMay I Present.n At Limington we reviewed the nSokokis Warriors.H You should be proud of this year-book, all departments are well developed. Again we started onward, and Gorham welcomed us with a copy of the nGreen and Whiteng the Normal School year book It was filled with interesting and amusing snaps, and very well edited. Gorham also produced the NPioneern, sponsored by the Gorham and Limington agriculture course. It contained many interesting facts concerning agriculture. The nwindoniann, at Windham, was next on our list. The book was very unicue and neatly done. We travelled some distance before we stopped again. This time we found ourselves in Winthrop. There we received the nwinthrop Winnern a very fine book. The many snaps make the edition very interesting, while the stories and poetical talent Asn.. ,, , ,AA , 20 THE CRESCENT make the book very worthwhile. We are pleased to have this new exchange on our list. At Gardiner, nThe Quilln awaited us with humorous jokes and amusing stories. Q Later we found ourselves at Bristol, looking at the nBristo1inen,,The senior class horoscope was a very clever idea, but how about some snaps, they would greatly improve it? Bidding farewell to this part of the state we resumed our gourney, heading the team toward Scarboro. There we found the 'Four Cornersu in readiness, and noticed many snaps of interest with many stories. ' It was late when we returned to Buxton, cold and weary. We gave a report of our day's travel, in the school which we can call our own, Buxton High. We had seen sous very beautiful buildings that day, but we would not swap, sell, or trade any of them for our own B.H.S.

CHECKERS - The checker tournament was held at Buxton on October 20th. Again the checker trophy was won by Buxton. This year it was difficult to choose our contestant as Harlan Pease the winner for the past two consecutive years and Donald Smith were equally matched in the preliminary games. Finally Donald was chosen and he showed himself worthy of his position as he defeated each of his opponents in every game.

TOURNAMENT ARRANGEMENTS This year the principals of York and Cumberland counties were invited to a meeting at Gorham High School November 14, 1959 for the purpose of discussing the basketball tournament situation in these two counties. Representatives from thirteen high schools, academies, Gorham Normal School and the State Depoartment of Education. At this meeting the group expressed itself in favor of two tournaments, one to be composed of eight teams from schools with an enrollment of less than one hundred, the other composed of eight teams from schools with an enrollment of more than one hundred. Also it was decided that the best team in each of the counties should enter the state Class B tournament at Lewiston. These plans were later accepted by York County which was represented by only a small group at the first meeting. A committee was chosen by them to work in conjunction with the Cumberland county committee to handle the tournaments. at .3. J 26 THE CRESCENT Ex-officio members of this committee were representatives ?rom Gorham Normal School and Biddeford High School. The final meeting of the joint committee was held at Standish High School February 14, 1940 for the selection of two teams - one from each county - for the Class B tournament and eight teams were chosen for the tournament at Gorham - schools with an enrollment of under a hundred - d for the tournament at Biddeford - schools with an enroll- ment of over a hundred. It was necessary to and York teams were sent The school participating Standish, the runner-up, hold several play-ofis. The Windham tournament at Lewiston Porter, the winner, third place, and North to the Class B at Gorham were Kennebunkport, Berwick, Alfred, Casco, Buxton, and Limington Academy.

When your team makes a do not you usually shout, or show excitement way or another? But when the opposing team scores, you do not cheer, probably groan instead. Now, if a challenging fellow makes s brilliant play, why not give him s cheer? he deserves it. It is the type of person who will cheer at such times, who are best liked and most popular with both teams. Another thing in this nSportsman hip,n is the matter of winning and losing. If you win s game, do you get a Vswelled hoadn or remain yourself? A good winner should also be a good loser, one that een lose grsceiully, not one that is unapproschable for the next day or two. After s game that you have lost, did you shake hands with your victor as a friend or because courtesy demanded it? Would you lend your opponent some equipment, if he damages his, or sacrifice your glory for the sake of helping another fellow earn it? That is the type of sportsmen that everyone cannot help liking. It is plain that he wants everybody to have a good even chance. There is good sense in what Jim Brett, sports reporter, says, Ulf you don't take psrt in a sport you can be one, anyway.n Wayne Moulton '42 ,. 1 fqiggggnn L, Y Au... , ...Jin GIRLSATHLETICS TRACK At the Ninth Annual Track and Field Meet which was held at the Cornish Fair Grounds May ls, 1959, the Buxton High School girls were the winners having obtained.5O lf2 points, Cornish, 27 points, Limerick, 22 points, Watcrboro, 18 points, Hollis, 15 points, Alfred B lf2 points.

Losing But Winning Among the nurses to receive their graduation certificrtes from a large New York Hospital, was Miss Janice Adams, a very kind, sympathetic, and nice-looking girl of twenty-one. As her turn cane to receive her certificate, her face lighted for any- one could see Janice loved her work. After the exercises, Doctor Brent, the head doctor on the hospital staff, offered herz1position to assist him in all his operations end crses. Mis Adams knev the honor of this, end thanked him very graciously, but declined, for she said she did not want a high position and money, but wanted to help the poor people who did not have enough money to hire a nurse. Miss Adads went one dark, dreary day in November to visit a family who lived in a large tenenent house in the poor section of the city. The room which she entered was cold and dark, and upon the bed lay the mother and a three day old baby. The mother was grief-stricken and hysterical for her husband had been killed in an auto accident the dry before, when rushing madly across the street for the doctor. There was also in the family a cripgled girl of mix, a boy of five, and two girls of three and two. 4., 7,77 , ., ,mg , -L THE CRESCENT 57 Janice kindled a fire and heated some water, while Johnny, the five year old boy, went to the store for food. She then gave Mus. Stone a hypodcrmie and when Johnny re- turned, Janice gave her some warm broth, put a hot water' bottle at her feet, and placed more clothing over her, and tried to make her as comfortable as possible. X Miss Adams fixed the children a gooi supper after Johnny nad made another trip to the store. After they all had had something to eat and were warm, she left them, to see if she could make arrangements to get Mrs. Stone to the hoseital. In about a half hour Janice returned to the house just in time to see it in flames, Johnny had been carrying a ' lamp to see how his mother was when he tripped and fell. - , She rushed in and carried out the mother while Johnny carried the baby.

Edna Moulton '4L Z8 THE CRESCENT Fisherman's Angel The old fisherman sat on the almost deserted wharf. The smoke from his pipe idly circled around his shoulder, then was hastily carried off by the brisk breeze. As the salty spray dashed over his face and beard, he kept on, still mending the nets. When the sun had neared the middle of the sky, the old man gazed up the country road. Far as his eye could see, he noticed something white. His heart quickened its beat. He knew it was the little orphan girl that had been washed up on these same shores, nearly six years ago. She was then almost dead, but the old man had worked faithfully over her inert body, carefully restoring it to life. As he had watched her grow, year by year, he was delighted. She represented his lost youth to the rapidly aging man. She nust have been of foreign descent, he had decided by the black flashing eyes and the reddish-black hair which reached to her shoulders. As she drew nearer she shouted - , nHello, Daddy! See! Barbara bring you nice dinner today. Teacher gave me lots of cake and some candy, too.N The old man took the basket from the eager excited child, which she placed beside him, merrily chatting and relating the day's events. And Daddy, teacher says there are good angels who fly around and take care of us for our Mommy in Heaven --- and she says some day I'll be in Heaven with my Mommy too. Daddy how does angels fly? Like this? Barbara going to see Monmyln Little Barbara ran to the edge of the wharf and flapped her hands carelessly. A huge wave enveloped her and drew her into the foaming sea. The old man sat for a moment as if electrified. Then he gathered strength and ran to the wharf's edte, but the choppy waves rolled on, unconcernedly leaving no trace of Barbara. New daily, the old fisherman sits on the wharf, still mending nets, but as the salty water dashes on the weather beat- en face, it is sometimes hard to distinguish the tears from the spray.--Lorraine Brackett '41 Tin Can Ideas V. During the past century we find radical changes in retail- merchandizing the oldest business in the world. Let us look at the grocery store of fifty years agog the community center of life at its simplest. During those days A the food was kept in wooden barrelsg molasses, vinegar, kerosene, pickles, sugar and what not. These stood about on the floor with a supply stock in a dingy back room. A cat on the counter, .. A -Y THE CRESCENT 39 a dog by the stove, a clerk in a soiled apron, munching crackers and cheese, and the soap-box setters andntobacco chewersn making frequent trips to the pickle barrel combined with genera- tions of germs comprised the contents of the store. Now let us enter a similar store to-dayg the appearance of which has been vastly changed. Four-fifths of the merchandise is on shelf display ready for the customers inspection, canned sealed, labeled and safe guarded by the National Government stamp of inspection. This -- is our Tin Can Age. This time we visit one of Continental's modern can making plants. It is a scene of immaculate beauty and deafening clatter. Millions of brightly shining tin cans chase each other through automatic machines and along overhead conveyor systems. No human hand touches them from the time they pass from the slitting machines into store houses. The cans are cut, shaped, soldered, sealed on one end, and tested by machinery more sen- sitive than the human eye. Without doubt the modern store to-day will be obsolete fifty years hence, but it is certain, the tin can will hold its place for some time yet in the life of Americans. Winifred Carll '40 Our Bird Friends Birds are one of nankind's most useful helpers. They eat untold numbers of harmful bugs and worms that spoil and devour the farmers' crops. Some people complain that the birds eat their fruits and berries, but if we had no birds we would have no small fruits at all. So we find that their good deeds far outweigh whatever destruction they may do. In size birds range from the tiny humming birds, scarcely exceeding three inches in length, to the giant ostrich, stand- ing eight feet in height. Some birds have small compact bodies while others have long necks and legs, as the water birds, herons, and flamingoes. Most of our common birds belong to the first class, as robins, sparrows, and thrushes. Many of our bird friends have beautiful voices and fill the summer days with happy song. How drab our world would be if we heard no birds singing! Indeed, it would be hard to imagine such solitude about us. In spring, how glad we are to welcome the first robins, bluebirds, and the merry, noisy, chattering blackbirds! Last spring we saw three different groups of the warbler family, the black and white, myrtle, and chestnut-sided warbler. All were quite tame and friendly, finding flies and bugs on the bushes and trees close to the house. In the summertime we see the golden flash of the oriole among the orchard trees and hear Mr. Bobolink spilling forth his trills while :swinging on a tall stalk of grass. The birds sing to express their joy of living 40 THE CRESCENT and their joy of freedom. In my opinion, there is no lovelier musip anywhere on earth. 1 The color markings of birds are of The color is due to several.causes, the and in thc structure and arrangement of with the light. What is more beautiful an endless variety. pigments in the feather, the feathers in relation than the bright flash of a blue bird, an oriole, or a scarlet tanager? Where can we find more beautiful and burnished colors than in the plumage of a humming bird, a peacock, or a pheasant? What can be more in- teresting than watching a goldfinch swinging on a flower stalk eating seeds? As cold weather approaches, most of the bird families gather in large flocks and migrate to the warm southern climate, leaving us only snowbirds, jays, chiokadees, starlings, and now and then a stray crow or robin. Of the winter birds, the chickadees are the friendliest and can be easily trained to eat from your hand. The bluejay is a handsome fellow but a noisy one. If you put out food for the birds you will find that the jays certainly get their share. When the snow is deep, the birds have a hard time to find food and all kind and thoughtful people put out food for them. , The study of birds is very fascinating and we should all receive much pleasure and benefit from it. Buck Fever Mary Hague '45 Rising early one morning, I decided to go hunting with my brother. We dressed ourselves in red, and started for Sawyer's Mountain. We took our lunch with us, because we had decided we would stay all day if necessary. It was seven o'clock when we reached the base of the mountain. We started our climbing and upon reaching the top I thought I had had enough hunting so soon, but the climb did not seem to bother my brother. Then we really started hunting, and it was quite a job carrying around an old gun As we walked around quietly we did not see anything, except a red squirrel occasionally. About noon we were tired and our hope was fast going. Sitting down on an old log, we began eating our lunch. There was not much conversation as we were too tired and too angry to talk. I think a good hunter must have a lot of patience and we did not seem to have much. Both of us were think ing about giving up hunting and going home, but neither of us had nerve enough to mention this to the other. Suddenly we saw a bush move two or three feet from where we sat. We jumped up loaded our guns and walked over to the bush, and after peeking through this we did not see anything. Then upon glancing down I saw the deer hiding in the bushes. I nudged my brother and pointed it out to him. Then we lifted our guns and took aim, he toll me to shoot first, and about this time I 3 THE CRESCENT 41 began to shake all over. I could not hold the gun still, my brother seeing me began to snicker. As I didn't want to be laughed at I aimed as well as I could but hit a tree about three yards above the deer. When the deer heard the short he began to run, but my brother shot, hitting him in a hind leg bringing the deer to the ground. Then we started home feeling very pleased. Betty Plummer '40 The Burning of My Home Although I was entirely unaware of it, a great mis- fortune was soon to befall me -- the burning of my home. It was Saturday as the darkness was just settling, when Nancy and I started after our horses, for this was to be the last night of her visit. ' We found them in the back field, rode them bareback to- ward the barn where the saddles were. When the horses came over a small hill, I saw a sight which startled me. nNancy,n I cried,n look at that fire beside the barnt If it catches a shingle the barn will burnt' I gasped, the breeze shifted and the whole end of the barn was already in flames. With all my strength I hit Queen with the rein ends and she lung- ed down the hill and toward the flradng barn over two hundred yards distance. Queen swerved as she came to about fifty feet of the barn. I screamed to dad that the barn was on fire and almost immediately I heard the fire-whistle. nNancy will never get to those gates, the horses will go for the flames and burn. We'll have to go to the gate way up by the lumber yard.n We led the horses along to the gate and then started for the front side of the barn. We got to the back wall and I spied one of the bulls. uStay on this side of Ned,n I told my frightened companion,Nrnd he'll not notice you. ,But it's really the other bull to be afraid of. Jimmy isn't ugly.N We advanced a few steps, but the terrific heat made us move back. I mounted Queen and was going to gallop between the doomed barn and the ice house, but even at this distance my horse reared and snorted viciously so I abandoned the plan and we went to the hen yard fence. Regardless of the blistering heat, I stood stubbornly there and watched my summer's work go up in a mass of flames, for there was no alternative. The siren indicated that help was coming and the yard was already full of men, noise, and confusion. Nancy leaped off, tied Ned to a fence stake and went to join the crowd. The panicky horse tugged at the reins and the stitching began to rip. Try as I might, I could not quiet him, although Queen was subdued. Two or three times our little chow pup started toward the fdxebut I called him. 42 THE CRESCENT back. It was better to be trampled under the hoofs of terrified horses than burn in that inferno, I thought. GrabbingNed's reins I pulled him over to a three strand fence. Luckily, no staple held the strands in place, for I'd never desert the horses, even if everything burned. Presently Nancy returned and, with much confusion, and coaxing, we got my animal over the fence. Ned refused to be budged, so I gave him a crack with rein end. He got his front quarters over and I slipped off the wire. It hit him in the middle and pulled the other half across the fence. During these vexing moments Queen stepped on the pup and he added a bit to the general noise. To make it a bit more comfortable for us, it began to sprinkle, then it thundered. Nancy and I got on our horses and rode to a neighboring barn, incidentally, both getting soaked in the process. When we reached the barn the rain stopped and relieved us greatly, for we were afraid of thunder showers. When the horses were securely tied in the stable, Nancy returned to the house where she was visiting, and I ran for my blazing home. What Nancy and I had planned for a very wonderful evening ride, turned into the saddest ride I ever took in my life. Wayne Moulton '42 Melody at Sunrise Just as the pink of dawn fingered the somber gray with delicate iridescent hues, I awoke with an unaccountable sense of uneasiness. I must have surrendered to the weariness of my being and slumbered I knew not how long. I glanced toward the bed where the inert body of my dying friend lay surrounded by an elaborate counterpane. His emaciated arm was tucked peacefully beneath his cheek. Had it not been for the unearthly pallor one would have thought him in perfect health for he breathed as easily as might a child. As I stood glancing down at him, the white lids fluttered and he opened his eyes. He saw me standing there and spoke. His voice was amazingly steady. Alice, 'he said softly, I wonder what will be done with my musical instruments when I'm gone, I want them to be taken care of.N I asked myself musingly how he could be so calm about - death. Duane and I had enjoyed a most wonderful friendship since childhood. It pained me to see him thus. I had as a child many times sat in awed reverence listening intently to Duane's improvisations, his childish fingers swept lightly over the keys. It was breath-takingly appalling . that so mere a child as he had been could have mastered nearly all types of instruments. As Duane had become older his genius grew. My unwavering awe had not vanished through the years. I couldn't listen to him talking so calmly. The tears started to THE CRESCENT 45 stream down my face. My thoughts were interrupted ss he touch- my hand. nAliee, didn't you heur me? I know I'm going to die and Alice, I went you to Know how much your friendship has really meant te me.n Why eouldnft I just be as brnve as he, I asked myself?' nYou have been s true friend and I know you won't refuse me my last wish,N he continued plesdingly, UI went to go down end play the piano just once more.H I tried to protest but he did not cesse.H Now Alice, I thouvht you were my friend. . ,U 7 I can't herr the funeral march, you know.n he lsughed hoarse- ly. I went to screen, rather grim humor, I thought. V Il 'No, Duane, I shell not be responsible ior r relapse. I tried to spear firnly but my voice held P perceptible tremor. NAlice, if you don't help me, I shell walk down myself and perhaps fall downstairs,n he laughed like e nauchty child. I finally consented. What else could I do? Once seated et the piano Durne's slender fingers swept over the keys with vigor. I stood st the window listening with peinful reverence as he played my favorite piece, nThe Evening Stern, from Tennhsuser. I wus fled, yes, glfd that I had allowed him to even though it would hasten his death. I glanced at the horizon, the deepening pink hue. Soon the sun's golden rim would be above the hills. A new day would be born. As the sun arose, the music stopped. I turned and saw Duane fall. I rushed to him, but I knew he was deed. I wanted to cry out the sorrow I felt in my heart, but tears refused to come. I even felt n pang oi envy. Would I die us peacefully among the things I loved? Ruth Green '41 Maine Is At The Top Our own State of Maine is at the top: of the list of summer vacation lands. No other place has such charms end satisfsctions. Meinefs seacoast, forests, lakes end mountains, offering a thousand attractive resorts, with fishing and hunting, have never been exploited. Maine people themselves cannot name half the attractions in their own state - events thrt are well worth going many X miles to visit. It is common knowledge that yachts may find one hundred good harbors between Kittery and Queddy Heed. At least fifty large islands are available for summer homes. We might name ht. Desert Island, with Bar Harbor, Eden, Tremont and Pretty Harsh. Then there are s lot of other islsnds including Monhegsn, Metinicus, Seguin, and e lot of others in the Casco Bay, Frenehnen's Bay and Penobscot Bay. The coast is too wide to permit detailed listing. York Y, .4..., 44 THE CRESCENT County, as one of the eight coastial counties, is able to present the greatest beach in the world at Old Orchard and Ocean Park, besides other fine beaches at Kennehunk and Welle, Then Deer Island which for the first time recently has been connected to the mainland by a bridge. Others that might be mentioned are Fox Island, and the rugged ledges that complicate navigation in Jerico Bay, Harpswell, Rockland and other coastal resorts entertain thou- sands every summer. Poland Springs is one of the famous old resorts, and spring. water is a small factor in the success achieved there by the Rickors. Moosehcad Lake and The Rangeleys represents many square miles of wilderness. Everyone of the sixteen counties has fine lakes. Then there are mountains, the chief of which is Mt. Katahdin, covering a wide sweep of counties in the northern part of the state and visible for a hundred miles in all directions. But there are beautiful hills in all parts of Maine. Maine people are not well informed about the varied charms of their own state. There are,too,many kinds of sports and re- creations for everybody to have a clear notion of what Maine can offer to Visitors. How many know that we have at least a hundred golf courses? Maine is truly a vacation and recreational resort. Thus if we are to develop this business, thc first requirement must be to educate our own people on the various attraction ex- tending from Fort Kent to Kittery.

She was a eollie of Sunnybank strain, very sensitive and high-strung. She came by express and the hard, noisy ride had frightened her until she cowered in her crate. Lassie was rather timid until and it was not long before she was she get acquainted with us enjoying herself, her friends and the surroundings. She was a handsome pup with fluffy golden body, a snowy white ruff, forelegs, tail-tip, and narrow blaze in her face that widened out toward the finely chiseled, tapering muzzle. As Lassie grew, so did her character develop. anxious to please and so very unhappy if she caused cross with her. The lovable little pup grew into a dog of maturity.

She died as heroically as she had lived on one bright, sunny day in October. She was only five years old when the fatal event in her life came - but then, they say that it is always the good who die first. I can see that this old saying applies to dogs as well as to humans. Lassie was hit by a recklessly driven ear and killed instantly. She was buried at her favorite resting place under the shade of the shady maples in front of the low white farmhouse. She is resting but not forgotten and will always be remember- ed by many people as the faithful little affectionate deg she was. Marie Gaetske '40 Why A High School Education? So many of the boys and girls new graduating from the eighth grade, having become rather tired of school for the time being, decide not to even attempt a high school education. If only they could see their mistake before it is toe late! However, only after years of hard Knocks from life's journey do they realize a lost opportunity. Still others led on by curiousity attend high school for maybe a few months or even a year. Their curiousity being satis- fied they are ready to quit and like the other group see their mistake only too late. ' Many of the American youth fully intending to complete a high school education are hindered by some obstacle beyond their power to overcome. This faultin many cases may be traced to their parents, who having financial difficulties, wish their child to leave school and go to work. what will the work amount to? Office boy in some company, mill-worker, housekeeping job, wait- ress, but how useless for the person could hardly support him- self, think nothing of aiding the family! If wc, the youth, could only see what a golden opportunity is being laid before us. Lets go brch a generation or two and see the hardships overcome by them in order that they might receive a high school diploma. Up at half-past five in the morn- ing to an unnourishing breakfast, and then harnessing up nDebinn to ride four or five miles in the biting cold to the little school house. Here it was never warm, the seats and lighting were not good, your were obliged to buy your own books, sanitation was poor and diseases were prevalent among the pupils. Nevertheless four years of such life was endured and they were rewarded for it. New comfortable transportation is furnished at little ex- pense, the schoolhouse is steam heated, the lighting is the best possible, books and ecuipmcnt are furnished, sanitation has been improved and yet so many of us fail to grasp our one chance! What is our reward for the completion of a high school course? Many say simply a piece of paper, a diploma, which of course is true, but this proves four years of satisfactory work. Four years THE CRESCENT road of life. In that is priceless 47 of courses that have fitted us to a certain extent for the high school we have received a training both socially, morally, educationally, and physically. Many will go on to normal school or college, some will not be able, but no matter what we may do in later life our four years of high school work will greatly help us. In applying for any position which offers advancement one of the quirements would.be to show a high school diploma. As we look back in education, one in which we did our uttermost to obtain the most from prepared us more than any other thing first re to help us face the world! Carolyn Woolcock '42 The Importance of Wood Wood is one of the most important things that a person knows. There are many different kinds of wood all classed under soft or hard wood. Some of the most common soft woods are pine, basswocd, fir, spruce, cedar, and some of the most common hard woods are oak, hemlock, Maile walnut, elm, birch chestnut, end maple. These different kinds of weed have many uses. Everyone realizes the great value of trees for fuel, for building material, furniture, and other such things connon in everyday life but there are also many more things in which wood is used that people do not notice. Take bosswood for example, the bark of this tree is used te make shoes for the poorer class of people in Russia. The bark is also used to make rope, fishing nets and braided mats. The seed of this tr serves as an important part in everyday life because oil fror it is equal to olive oil and it can be used as Successfully in cooking and for the table. This wood is also the wood carver's favorite because it is free from knots. Another thing about this tree is that its flowers are used to make perfume and twigs are made into artist's charcoal pencils. ' Some of the other important things made from trees are turpentine, dyes, ink, paper, cloth, medicine, chewing gum, varnish and cork for fishermen's nets. These are only a few of the many things that parts of trees are used for. Harlan Pease '40 'O' - ' - - -le. 4--...sx:?k:.:x?:5:Fclra:-:Ls '-5? -FZ' , -11 11:2-.:iE52j2ET:'5v:f. FTF! 48 THE CRESCENT Athletics In Our School Buxton High has always ranked well in athletic standings in both league and non-league competition. I am sure that one look in our trophy cabinet would convince everyone. .In years past Buxton High always had rather large size boys and girls, but now it appears we have had our run of those ath- letes. Although Buxton's athletes are smaller than in other years they make up in spirit what they lack in stature. Large numbers of athletes also used to appear at the start of the season from which our coach could pick a team. Now hardly enough show up to make two basketball teams or a baseball team. Maybe if phy- sical training was compulsory larger numbers of boys and girls would take part in competitive athletics. Buxton does extremely well for a small school, often de- feating schools with far larger enrollment. Although the athletes have always shown ability to win that is not the only phase that is important here. They take deferts with the good spirit of the sportsman that they are. Although they take defeats to heart seldom does one blame anyone save himself. Larger schools have different students in every line of athletics, while Buxton has nearly the same group of boys and girls for every sport. These athletes take up the task unself- ishly sacrificing self-fame for the team. Everyone fighting for victory and never giving up until the last whistle has blown or the last man is out - a spirit of which any of the larger schools could well be proud. Raymond Brackett '42 Against The Storm Through the night cold, dark, and dreary Without shelter and repast Staggered a child footsore and weary Huddled against each icy blast. On and on he slowly wandered With his face against the storm Many times he stopped and pondered Oh, for a bed to keep him warml Onward, onward to meet his master ' Plodding forward through the cold He was headed for disaster Another sheep to join the fold. Still he wandered, brave, collected Like a bee strayed from the swarm But the gale no man respected Even the child against the storm. THE CRESCENT 49 Through the long and desp'rdte battle Thus he staggered to and fro For he no more than cattle Could endure the wind and snow New a brave heart had ceased its beating In the tiny frozen form For the wind and snow and sleeting Had killed the child against the storm. Donald Smith '40 Indian Faith . On a bright sunny day in June, in the early l700's two young girls embarked in a canoe for Q trip to visit friends. They were laughing and singing as they drifted with the tide. Suddenly out from the opposite shore darted e canoe. The girls did not notice it until it drew up beside them. As a shadow dropped over them they looked up and were greatly frightened, Nancy screamed, Indians and both swiftly plied their paddles but to no avail, they were quickly overtaken. Nancy was transferred to the Indians' canoe while one get into her canoe. New the girls were separated but as they knew it would do no good to cry or beg they waited silently for what was to come. No one spoke until they reached shore two miles below, where they entered a small cove. The canoes were hidden and the girls' hands were bound behind them. Then began the tramp that neither girl was soon to for- get. All this while both girls were wondering the reason for their capture. The Indians had done them no harminr had they shown any malicious feelings so far. They only firmly showed the girls they must not try to escape. Suddenly they came out on a high ridge over looking a valley, below stood an Indian village. As they entered all seemed quiet and the women appeared sad and mournful. Drums began to beat and all gathered about the girls. From the midst stepped the chief with the tiny baby in his arms. He gave them to understand that they must cure it of the sickness before they eouh. leave. Instantly the girls saw the reason for their abduction, the Indians wanted the white man's cure for their baby. As he placed the baby in the arms of one of the girls they knew the trouble from which the infant was suffering. It had a bad cold, maybe pneumonia if something was not done quickly. Blankets were brought and some oil. They warmed them and the girls set to work dipping the blankets in the oil and and then placing them on the baby's chest. Soon as the oil began to penetrate the little one commenced to breathe easier. rn , Q 50 THE CRESCENT For two days they remained and watched until the danger was over. The baby was much better when the girls returned the little child to the Indian chief. Everyone was happy again and a feast was prepared in honor of the girls. Many gifts were brought and soon the girls were being paddled homeward. They were received with great joy but as the Indians departed, the girls knew that they had won a friend- ship worth cherishing forever. Methel Rowe '40 ' Peace ' While the rest of the world is suffering from war nerves, we of the United States are enjoying peace. Many of us are only beginning to understand the wonderful meaning of that word. In this small town of Buxton we do not look upon our neigh- bors as spies but as friends who are ever ready to be helpful and sympathetic in our personal troubles and and who have no desire to sell us to the government as undesirable citizens. While this country has its unemployment problems and many others, we can glory in the fact that our greatest men are work- ing all the time to remedy them. On our East and West we have the Atlantic and Pacific oceans On the North and South our good neighbors Canada and Mexico. On the boundary line between North Dakota and Canada the Dominion and the States are developing an International Peace Garden. It comprises 2,200 acres of land and is to be made into a huge park. It was dedicated on July 14, 1952 before a crowd of 50,000 Americans and Canadians. Men stood with bowed heads and the throng recited in unison the pledge written on a placeue cemented to a stone monument: . To God in His Glory, We two nations dedicate this garden, And pledge ourselves as long as men shall live We will not take up arms against one another. The work is being done by Canadian relief workers and our own C.C.C. boys. - While the rest of the world is constantly tearing apart boundary lines we are making public playgrounds of ours to bind our friendship. Let us indeed be thankful to live in this free and beautiful America. X ' Natalie Wiggin '45 4 . n I in Ga Wan hCLa O ..C1h1.b ----- ..-. -.....-.-p..-...--v. .,... Z1 hs fx J fx!!
