CAFETERIA P09-3 Q UNKNOWN TO THEE As I was pondering through the remains of a dilapidated old farmhouse, I came upon an ancient dictionary in which I found a letter that had been written nearly thirty years ago by an old man. Apparently, his mind was in a jumbled state because he had a letter to our were bothering him. Let written letter. Lord about some of the happenings that us look into a few of the lines of this nOur Heavenly Father, I world of ours is in, in years and the state in which this am growing late is beyond my reach. As I sit here pond- ering over many things, I wonder outloud if you know what is goinx on in this harsh and cruel world of ours. I read in the newspapers that we are about to enter into another war. ,Isn't there something you can do to prevent such a horrible under- taking? although a war won't bring too much sorrow and grief to me, think what it will do to the world as a whole ---------- the great loss of life, the destruction of many cities and towns, and broken families and homes. And what happens after the war? what state is your poor world going to be in? Of course this question will not be answered until after the war is over but I wonder if you realize all of this? 'As I sit here in my rambling old farmhouse, the outside world dosen't effect me much and I am too old to learn the ideas and thoughts of our younger generation. It makes me wonder, when I hear tell of so much bitterness and poverty, even in our own country. I manage to get enough to eat and live quite comfortably but it makes cold shivers run up and down my spine when I think of little children cold and hungry. imagine that by the time my letter is found all of my I questions will be answered. But please, dear Lord, if you know of all the horrors and heartaches, do your best to over- take them. I won't be living in your world much longer but I hope these things wonft be unknown to Thee throughout the years. I'm writing you in hopes that conditions will be bet- ter for future generations. ' All of my Faith goes to You.u CSignedD As I read the lines of this man's thought, it made me think of the conditions of the world today. Since his letter was written, there has been much investigating into science, two world-wars have been fought and won by our countryg Communism has sprung up and slowly gripping the world between its gummy fingers and now we are approaching the Presidential Elections and a very un- patriotic 'mud-slinging Campaign' is going on. Has this world gone beyond the control of Heavenly Powers??!f? ' Sally Jordan '53 THE CLOUDS The clouds were merely hanging around, as the gray dawn awoke. The night before, the clouds had experienced a terrible ordeal and they were talking of it as the sun tried to peer through. One sour little one with an odd shape spoke up in a little voice and said, HIt's a terrible thought to have to be here in the.sky all the time, to have children look at you and try to imagine what you could possibly look like. Why do they always try to put your shape to some animal or object? The people walk by on the ground and curse you because you're holding the sun back, the wind blows you hither and yon and when you move just a little, while 'the artists are trying to paint you, they get mad too. A cloud's life is wicked.H nThat isn't right at all,n said a beautiful, snowy white cloud Uwe all have a purpose. Let me tell you of some, - we're a place for the heads of the little angels to retire, an object to reflect the sun's warm rays to the children below - for without the warm sunlight, they would be very unhealthy. The children love us and play games with us. They race along the fields and try to beat us. DOn't you see all clouds aren't the same? Be- cause some clouds have a dark side, we're here to show some clouds do have a silver lining.H HI suppose you're right, but-H repeated the first. NNo buts about it - see those children down there, come on Ifll race you over. They'll play with us, you'll see.H HOkay, last one over is all wet - let's go.U p Winnie Sawyer '53 AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A SCHOOL CLOCK I am a school clock. I was made in Switzerland by a famous clookmaker. I have kept time for about fifteen years in this same school room. I have never stopped except once when there was a great blizzard and no one came to wind me. I have watched children laughingg watched teachers struggling with backward children. I have seen heartache in the eyes of children who couldn't make the team. I have seen children go running and sing- ing out of the classroom when school let out. As I look down on the deserted classroom thinking of my past, I now realize I have lived a full life. I have helped someone, the purpose for which everything is put on this earth. I have served my time. To- morrow they take me down and replace me with a new modern clock. Where I go from here I do not know, nevertheless I am happy. Claire Redlon '55 Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time for that is the stuff life is made of - u - W - B. Franklin , UNAWARE The sweat stood out on my forehead. My muscles were tense and my heart was pounding furiously. I didn't know why I should be this frightened because I knew that it must happen. Just as Judy would be standing by the huge boulder the terrible monster would grab her and put his clammy hands around her white threat and squeeze the life from her. There wasn't any way I could prevent it. It seemed se awful that Judy, the fair-haired girl who had traveled from America with her father to explore the island, would be a victim cf such a hcrrible death. Unaware of her Fate, Judy climbed the knoll. Six mere steps would lead her to the rock, and to her dvom. I waited. After the third step she stepped to catch her breath. Just three more steps to go--and Judy climbed the remaining three. Yes, she was standing in the exact spot. I saw the hand reach out to grab her and at this point it was I who felt the hand on my shoulder. This was unexpected and I screamed. All eyes were upon me but I didn't care. I was so relieved tu see mv sister standing there and to hear her voice saying, HCcme cn, dopey. This is the third time you've seen this movie. It's time you went hvme.H I Betsy Nason 'SM THE INAUGURAL PARADE Sally Jcrdan '53 I stccd and waited for mast six hours, For the Inaugural Parade tc appear.

The clothes I wore, my sporty roadster, my walk, my excess of spending moneyg they all told the story. Yes, it was easy for my classmates to think that I had everything but appearances are often deceiving. I had everything but the thing I wanted most - friendship. Ohg don't get me wrongg the kids spoke to me and made polite conversation, but that was about as far as it went. No real fun, and no one my age to talk to ex- cept at school. It was a beautiful October day, and as I was walking home from school I decided to stop by the thick stone wall about a half- mile from home and just soak up the beauty of afternoon. All along the wall were huge maple trees whose branches seemed to touch the sky. Through these branches an azure sky was visible. The smiling sun streamed down through the brilliant orange and yellow leaves, and the brook on the other side of the wall faint- ly gurgled a happy tune. v It was the kind of day when it was easy to get lost in thots. So I curled up on the wall, with my back to-a maple, pulled my knees up to my chin, and let my thougbtswander aimlessly. ' I recalled how hapny I had been when my folks had first told me that we were moving to an old mansion in the country. I had always wanted to live in a country home and to attend a small high school where everyone knew everyone else, and had great fun together. Put I never once thought that my parents' wealth would keep me from being Uacceptedn. It had been more than a month since school had openedg but I had not heen invited to join either the Outdoor or Hobby Club, the only two in Glendale High. Nor had I been invited to any of the Saturday Night Teen - Trots. And none of the boys had asked me for a date. Maybe I hadn't tried hard enough, though. Maybe.......if I tried a little harder ....... I recalled seeing an ad that went something like this: Hwhen changing schools, should you - get yourself a chum, or catch the boy's eyes?H The answer of course, was to get a special chum, and through her, get acquainted with the others. I hadnlt thought much about it at the time, but now it seemed like a solution to my problems. Jane! She had no special friend, but chummed around with everyone at school. Tomorrow at noon I would ask her to have a soda on me at Pop's. She was having trouble with her Latin, and I would offer to help her! I would be her closest friend! The more I thought of this, the suror I was it would work! And I would have a special friend, too, with whom I could share my sea crets and troubles. , As I reached this decision, a gentle breeze stirred the leaves above me, and dropped one into my outstretched palm, as though to tell me that I now had popularity and success by the hand. THIS, I BELIEVE HSoftly, gently, like scraps of the finest white velvet the snow drifted down upon the battlefield. The velvet was decorated with red satin.H ' NSuppose that sounds peaceful enough for Mom?H questioned Kart n?erhaps the red satin was being a little too sarcastic, Lt. Sanderson,H replied the nurse. HI suppose that I should write home to Mom real optimistic like, when I don't even know what I'm fighting for?H Kent was sarcastic again. ' HI sugpest that you visit Major Su Yung when you are well enough to walk around. He needs to have visitorsg you aren't very good company but---H The remainder of the nurse's suggest- ion was obvious. Kent's face reddened but he made no reply. ' .5LDS!'..JLJLJ'.JLJ .!LJLJ'.:'..:'.JL fx lx n rx n n A 1- M 4. 1: n n u It was the day before Kent was scheduled to leave the hospital when he finally rememhered the nurse's suggestion. Major Su Yung was a frequent topic of conversation among the nurses and Kent had little difficulty in finding him in the adjoining ward. As Kent looked down at Major Su Yung, he could not repress a shudder. Although he had attained the rank of major, he could have been no more than twenty-four years of age. One side of his face had been blown away. One arm had been amputated and the other arm was in a sling. Shrapnel had taken its toll in both of his sides, as Kent learned later. nhowfs it going, Wajor?H questioned Kent. As the injured man opened his eyes, Kent received a shock. With the exception of his eyes and mouth, the man's face was covered with bandages. But his eyes that looked up at Kent were shining with the unmistakable light of peace and joy. HMeyhe'I'm wrong, Major, hut I fail to see what can make you so hanpy.N HUntil a week ago, I was very unhappy, Lieutenantgn the Ma- jorls English was perfect--Hyou see, my wife and son were in Pusan.

A kind missionary has taken then hack to the United States with him. They will he safe and I am thankful to God. Uwhat makes you so sure they will be safe?U asked Kent. Ccontinuedj Hln the United States there are many people. They are very proud of their country. They believe that their way of life is right and as God would want it. They will fight to protect their way of life., One of the rules of it is that women and children should be held in respectg they even have respect for women and children of their enemies. The Americans are very generous to us. They have enough to do to keep their way of life but they did not hesitate when it became necessary for some one to help us to pre- serve ours. My son will grow up in a free countryg thanks to the Americans. He will be able to return to Korea. He will be with the younger generation, the generation that will make Korea a strong and independent nation.H As Major Su Yung spoke his voice grew weaker but the light that was shining in his eyes grew stronfer. Lt. Kent Sanderson bowed his head in shame and made a vow to God above that he would never again say that he did not know what he was fighting for. Joan Dunn '53 HAUNTING MEMORIES Joan Emery '53 It was a dark, stormy night and, as he glanced out the window 8- flash of light drew his attention. His first thought was'hn invasionn and he clenched his fists, thinking of his days on New Guinea as a Navy Doctor. He had spent three long years filled with hardship there. For what seemed like days at a-time, he had done nothing but patch up wounds, give plasma and set broken bones. Now he was ,ivini more plasma, mendinr more broken bones, det- . . 8 c 9 u L ting very little to eat as he didn't have time. His hospital was gone, most of his eouipment and personal belongings, too. Suddenly he was shakins, and his body was drenched' in a cold sweat. He somehow brought himself out of this ninht-mariah day- dream and, trying not to disturb his wife, went quietly down stairs to have a last cup of coffee before getting some sleep for a few hours. T The men were down in the field fixing the high tension wires that had broken and caused the illuminating light. New he could sleep in peace, he hoped!!! MY LAND America is my own home land, iwith oceans wide upon her strand, A wonderful place to work and play, Where freedom and peace will always stay, Where men and women will always stand, As God's own people in His free land. Herbert Ranks '55 SNOW V Every winter thousands of children eagerly await the first snowfall, They are overjoyed at the thought of having ten or twelve inches of snow on the ground to flounder around in. Ten minutes after it starts to snow, they have their sleds out and are prepared to try to go slidingt I cringe at the sight of snow. what can be worse than having cold, sloppy, heavy snow piled up in front of your doorstep so that the minute you take one step out of doors, you have to fight your way through kneeedeep for perhaps deeper? snow. There are different types of snow. First, there is the light variety fthe easiest type to walk through J. 'When you walk through this, it doesnft hold you back much but it has an odd habit of flying around usually ending up inside your shoes or boots. I don't consider snow particularly hel:ful.in keeping my feet warm for dryl. Then there is the wet, sticky type of snow. This is especially good for making snowballs, snowmen, snowforts, -e-but unfortunately, mostly snowbells. Some people may consider it a big thrill to get hit in the back or the head with a snow- ball. 'l am not one of these people. How anyone can derive pleasure from engaging in a snowball fight when no matter whether you win or lose, you still find yourself wet from head to toe and probably sore at the finish, is beyond my comprehension. The last type of snow is the heavy type. This kind is not useful in any way whatsoever, not even for snowballs. If it is packed down hard enough, it can be used for sliding. The object of this whole sport of sliding is to see how many people you can run into on the way down the hill or how much faster you can reach the bottom than your friends. what does it matter? You still have to climb up again. either way you get snow inside all your heavy clothes, not matter how tightly they are buttoned.l There is nothing more uncomfortable than a small, wet, cold lump of snow nestled snugly under your jacket in such a position that you can- not remove it without completely undressing. No matter what the type of snow, it still has to be removed by one method or another from driveways, roads, and sidewalks. Road commissioners 'and snowplows are supposed to take care of the roads. They do, when they get around to it. Each family has'm take care of its own problems, however. The more children the more problems. Not only do they have to worry about snow re- moval from their driveway and walk, but also from the inside of their house, Children have an odd habit of bringing in large amounts of snow and distributing it pretty well in various rooms throughout the house. This snow is not quite so easily removed as the snow that is in the driveway. As soon as you have wiped up one puddle, another child comes tracking through and drops another pochetful of snow on the floor. While the children are transporting all the snow they can carry into the house, some hapless member of the family is industriously shovelling the driveway. Shortly after this member has finished his task,the snowplow will come by and throw the snow all back into his drive- way. What a reward for all his laborly This is snow, snow, beautiful snowl You can have itl I prefer Miami any time. Virginia Trott '53 NATURE'S WALK Mother Nature strolled along the dewy paths. The broad ex- panse of earth beckoned before her. Answering the call, she set out to pay a visit to some of her children. The early morning sun peeped her shining eyes over the horizon nGood morning, Mother. I am going to shine all day. That way I can make people happy.n The whistling wind sighed through her hair, making a beautiful melody to accompany her. Wisps of her flowing hair were blown to the ground, only to spring up again as golden dandelions, where some small earthling might play with them. Little drops of dew tinkled along the leaves. They made their own song to Mother Nature. They were singing of how lucky they were to be able to be on earth to perform their simple task. The gently babbling brook related to Mother Nature some of its many tales. She told of the many excited fishermen who had stormed her banks and of the calmness of other fishermen who had found a bit of sunshine, a nice soft tree trunk, and waited while the murmuring brook sang him to sleep. There were tales of the Indian lovers who came to sit by the patient brook to spin their love story. Mother Nature blest all the gnarled and twisted trees, making them straight again. Peace, she told them, would come to the older trees, and they would be useful after they had fallen, even if no one considered them of much use while standing. The young stalwarts entwined their branches around her in a loving embrace. They were very proud, and well they might be, for they had lived a good life, and would get their reward. Mother Nature wiggled through the fine sand by the sea. The thrashing waves lessened, bowed before her, and kissed her toes. The storm waves grew gentle before her, ashamed of their lashing fury. The fields were pregnant with blossoming crops. The fragrance came as if from'heaven itself. She lifted her care worn face to the sky. There the rosy clouds floated by like giant chunks of merinque How cozy it would be to sit in a fluffy cloud and watch the earth roll by. ' Mr. Moon looked down and rolled his eyes. My, what wonderous tales he could tell. But he only smiled to himself and passed from view. I Two little stars were playing hide and seek. Mother Nature asked them what their work was. Hwhy I'm the evening star,n replied one of them, HI am the first star to shine at night. All the girls on earth make wishes on me.N nand I am her Secretary. I keep all the wishes, ni said the other. Night softly tiptoed over to Mother Nature, wrapped her in its cloak, and carried her home to rest for another day of God's mir- acles. Jacky Sargent '53 MQNEY F03 CUTTINQ Winnie Sawyer '53 There the three of us sat, in that dismal room. The other f two were talking, but I could not hear them. After awhile every thing was clear. My mother was one of the womeng the other I had never seen. 'She was a glamorous woman, dressed in fine clothing. Outside it was growing darker and darker by the minute. At lunch time, we ate and directly after , a chaufeur drove up and we rode in a long black car. We went through a long dark tunnel and at the end you could see the light' shining. After we emerged from the further end, we drove to an enormous mansion with search lights playing along the stone structure. Inside was a spacious parlor. I was taken in and sat in a big over-stuffed arm chair. A group of people entered and sat all around me. Following them, my mother and the lady stood beside me. The lady took a large pair of scissors from her pocket and began cutting my hair. She was demonstrating a new hair cut and I was her model. When she was through, all the people filed past me and when they went by, each one of them dropped some money in my lap. Then, there was a burst of smoke and flame. l found myself in my bed. It was so realistic I had to feel of nv hair to see if it were still there.

He found that the boy lived in a small but clean apartment in one of the slum sections of the town. There was a cheerful spirit prevailing about the house, which was missing in his bachelor quarters. He invited the three children to come and eat Thanksgiving dinner with him. After some coaxing they accepted. , I The next day he went over after the children and took them out to dinner. Then he took them to the hospital to see their mother. The radiant look on the faces of the children was something that, in all his successful years, he had' forgotten. Truly this was the happiest Thanksgiving he had experienced for many years.

But it wouldnft have made any difference if it had been the mildest evenf ing in June. Judy still had to stay with her baby sister, and on this night of all nights. The biggest thing that had happened in Williamson in years. Guy Lombardo and his band were at the high school gym for the Junior Prom. The dance wasn't too im- portantg after all, she could go to dances any night. But to miss seeing her favorite bandleader was another thing. It was an unforgivable crime! She, the most popular girl in the Senior class, was stuck at home. Many violent thoughts raced through her mind as she curled up in the big arm chair. There was a knock on the door. Judy hopped up to open it. In the doorway stood a tall impressive looking man. He'd had a flat, and wanted to call a garage. .After the call he sat down to chat with Judy while waiting.

WHAT CAN THE KIWANIS CLUB DO TO IMPROVE ITS COMMUNITY In every town that has a Kiwanis Club its benefits may be en- joyed by all members of the community. But, each town always has new and different needs that require either financial aid or sponsorship from a club. ' One definite need of every community is a well planned and adequately supervised sports program. Skating is va 'favorite sport for children of all ages, but it can be a dangerous one if the pond or river is unsafe. Plans for this project should be made in the fall and a site selected and prepared. Then when winter comes it is possible by flooding and putting up a few side boards to construct a safe, centrally located rink where small skaters may participate in this healthful, outdoor excercise with no danger to their lives or worry to their parents. - Another type of sport enjoyed by most boys is baseball. A baseball diamond is easy to maintain. A costly plot of land is not necessary, any level field which can be obtained twill do. This sport holds a lasting interest through the spring, summer, and fall months. If this field could be large enough, a large variety of other games might be offered. Badminton is a fast and interesting game, which most boys and girls enjoy. The equipment is reasonable and easily obtained. The size of these courts is small enough to allow two or three of these near together. Sports give the children an interest in competitive games. Thus, they acquire the desire to get along with other children and learn the proper conduct in relation to others in the matter of sportsmanship. In addition to this, sports keep their minds and bodies healthy and keep them in condition for their schookn In every town there are always those who, through misfortune, or no fault of their own are not able to provide medical and den- tal care for their school age children. If a fund were establish- ed and added to by means of subscriptions, drives, and benefit dinners, many of these conditions could be relieved. This fund could cover emergency operations, glasses, dental care, and the support of already established clinics. It is a very real need and one activity any club or or anization would be proud to spon- ser. This not only helps each individual selected for special benefits, but improves the whole health standard of the town.

From the beginning of the history of our na- tion, we have demanded and fought for our liberty. Americans love peace, but we are not willing to accept it at any cost. Through necessity, it has become a part of the American spirit to fight for freedoma From l86 l to 1865, Civil War reigned ,in the United States. The North refused to accept slavery.- For four years men fought and diedg but by the termination -of the war, the momentous ob- jective was gained: slavery was abolished forever. Through the years we have done our best to establish justice in our country and in other countries of the world. In the l89O's we objected to the oppressive rule of the Spanish in Cuba. The sinking of the battleship Maine was the breaking point of the hostility between the United States and Spain. Again we were fighting, but this time it was for the liberty of another coun- try. Justice triumphed and Cuba was a free country. The year l9l7 saw the entire world flaming with war. Forty- nine thousand Americans died in that struggle for freedom. But, after the final gun was fired, America still had its most prized possessiong freedom. ' S On the morning of December 7, l9h2, without the least warn- ing, Japan rained bombs on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, sinking the battleship Arizona, three destroyers, and two auxilary vessels, and damaging others beyond repairs Between two thousand c and three thousand men died on that disastrous morning. On December 8, war was voted with only one dissenting vote in the House and was unanimously voted in the Senate. Americans had not wanted the war but neither were they able to allow their country to be conquered iby a dictator and an emperor who controlled millions of troops, taught to kill and conquer. Americans wholeheartedly plunged themselves into the war. As months became years, war was still the ruler. But on August 6, l9h5, Japan's doom was sealed. On that morning, the deadly atomic bomb dropped from dark skies on to the city of Hiroshima, laying waste to sixty percent of the area of the city and killing more than a third of its populatien of 3S0,000. Three days later, another atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasakia We had won the war but at a terrific price. No living American will ever be able to forget Sicily, the nBattle of the Bulgen, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, Guam, Wake Island, Bataan, Corregidor, Saipan, and General MacArthur's promise, UI shall return.u The cost of the war for the United States was nearly 3300,000,000,GOO Our losses in killed,wounded, and in missing passes the l,OO0,000 mark. We paid a heavy price for the preservation of democracy and freedom. And now, seven years later, we are still fighting. In Europe we are fighting to protect the western countries from Communist dictatorship. It is a new type of war: The Cold War. The Cold Warn is a war of fears, threats, and preparations for a war in which blood will be shed. No one knows what the outcome of this situation will be, but we may be sure that Americans will do their utmost to shield these countries from the Communists. we have fought and are still fighting a bloody and terrible battle in Korea. In Korea we are again trying to prevent the Communists from over-running a country. We, the people of the United States, love the justice, free- dom and liberty of our great nation. We are a peaceful nation. We do not like to fight and kill. However, if we are forced to choose between war and the loss of our freedomg we will never hesitate to choose war. That is the American spirit. Patric Henry's words: nGive me liberty or give me deathn are truly representative of the American spirit. UThe torch of our history was kindled at the sacred altar of liberty. Let it be your pledge and mine to bear it High like a beacon, Till our strong years be sped And sinews weakeng . Till others in our stead Take from our loosening hand . The torch full-streaming which we pass at Deathfs command.N ---Joan Dunn '53 THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF CLARA COOKBOOK I am a big fat good-natured old cookbook---but then wouldn't you be fat if you had as many delicious things inside you as I have inside me?

For the 1953 prize speaking Doris Flynn, Barbara Barker and Betsy Nason were choseng with Bradley Waterman as alternate. Barbara Barker and Sandy Atkinson play in the orchestra. Many from our class were in the opcretta, Peggy and The Pirate: Playing leading roles wereg Richard Strait, Doris Flynn, Marvin Ewing, and Sandy Atkinson. We are looking forward with great anticipation to our Junior Prom in the spring. What Would Happen If: Sandy--were six feet tall? Nancy Bean--couldn't Hsparkn? James Davis--caused a scene? Julian--couldnlt comb his hair? Richard Elwell--was stuck with one car for a whole year? David--met a Cheshire Cat? Richard Pinkham--didn't blush? Billy Starbird--were nas noisyn as Doris Flynn? Richard Strait--couldn't flirt? Bradley--didnft know the answers? Barbara--cheered Buxton instead of Hollis? Arlene--and Nancy B. had a spat? Freddie--stayed away from Standish? Marvin--sat still during English Class? Keith Leavitt--couldn't play basketball? Betsy Nason--couldn't tell stories? , Keith Pierce--spoke out of turn? Buddy--couldn't hot-rod to school with a red truck? Nancy Tyler--spent a quiet evening at home? Junior Rowe--didn't look sleepy? JUNIOR CLASS Nancy Tyler 'SH We are the class of fifty-four We are you see quite near the door. Twenty-one members we have in all, We have the short, the medium and tall. First we have a lad named Sandy Whom we think is quite a dandy. Next is Leavitt, in sports he's great, Then there's Buddy a fine classmate. Richard's? We have them three, That's why our class is full of glee. There are, Pinkham, Elwell and Strait And all these boys we think are great. Keith and Jimmie so quiet are they, But Freddie and Billy always must play. Every time Julian makes to speak The sound comes out just like a squeak. Marvin is the dramatic kind, But one like Junior's hard to find. Bradley with his brains complete, And David with his hot-rod seat. Snookie with her dancing feet Would take a lot to miss a beat. Then there's Beanie a friend so dear, If you see boys she's always near. Then there's Doris a gleeful lass,. She often acts-up in English class. Next comes Betsy a basketball gal, She helps us cheer like a regular pal. Here's to Barbara, who as a rule Would like to visit another school, Last is Nancy full of tricks, The Hollis boys she always picks.

S. with one new member. A girl from Portland, Alberta Doughty. Although gaining one, we lost six. ' Robert Larry, Wayne Dennison and Winona Wallace who did not return at the first of the year and Jesse Wood, Durward Lang, and Margaret Patrick who left during the year. That leaves us with a total of thirty-one. Early in the fall we elected our officers as follows: Presi- dent, Chester Peaseg Vice President, Robert Hutchinson, Secretary, Dorothy Waterman, Treasurer, Juanita MacDougall. Rena Van Leer and Alberta Doughty were elected to the Student Council. We had nine boys and seven girls out for basketball and the manager of the boys' basketball team was Linwood Gerrish. Three of the cheerleaders were Norma Libby, Alberta Doughty and Donna Dunphy. Sixteen girls and six boys are in the Glee Club and two girls and one boy in the orchestra. We are planning a dance March 20 which we hope will earn us na little money for our treasury. We're the largest of all the classes, Emma Pinkham 'SS Fifteen lads and sixteen lasses. I'll start with Hutchie, the jovial kind, Next there's Bobby with girls on his mind. Leon and Linwood sho'nuff like front seats, And Donna and Norma use very good speech. Herbie's the boy in World History class, Who shows up the girls by answering fast. There's Chester, called 'Poochy by all of his friends., Also there's Ronnie who's glad when school ends. Now, there is one girl who's always alert, Her name is Juanita and boy is she pert! ' Our Charlie, Alberta, and Carol make three, They're quite swell kids, we know you'll agree.

Two of the boys, namely Erland and George, Some of their subjects, they'd like to dodge. There's Arnold and Calvin, the pests of the lot, They tease all the girls, especially Dot, Cynthis's the gal we all call Cyn , And Claud's a fella, who can draw anything. Nancy and Joy I almost forgot, But l'll put them in, cause they count a lot. Last there's Roberta, a shy little miss, And also me, who wrote all of this.

As soon as we got settled into the daily routine we had our first class meeting with Mrs. Fickett as our advisor. We elected the following officers: President, Teddy Pinkhamg Vice President, Joyce Usher, Secretary, Barbara Willeyg Treasurer, Virgil Elwell. Our Student Council representative is Rosalind Fogg. The Juniors had charge of the Freshmen Reception. They gave us a pretty rough time and we were glad when it was over. The teachers were very cooperative and that helped us. In early February, James Pease left us. We were proud to have our class in many of the outside activi- ties. We were well represented in both the boys' and girls' basketball teams. Claudia Higgins was one of our pert cheer- leaders and she was also chosen to represent us at the Prize Speaking Contest. We held a dance Friday, March 13. It was the first thing we had undertaken this year and it was a success. We cleared about 3325. The kids of '56 are quite a class They spend their time worrying whether they'll pass. Teddy, our president, is full of fun Heis a salesman who can beat anyone. Claudia Higgins is'a girl with brains You always see her at basketball games. Joyce and Rosalind come from Salmon Falls They're always making telephone callsy Johnnie and Joyce live near school Theylre always late, as a rule. Barbara is a gal who is always well-dressed She's always trying to keep up with the rest. And then from West Buxton come Barb and Irene And you mustn't forget our smiling Arlene. Allan Mi is a noisy cuss He raises the dickens on the bus. We also have a boy named Joe Who at Algebra is somewhat slow. Jeannette is the girl with her hair cut short We all agree that shefs a good sort. Helen travels to Gorham each week Is it a boy that she does seek? Virgil keeps our records straight Thereis a certain girl hefd like to date. Oscar always wears a smile To sit and frown is not his style. Allen lives in a house near Eddie When time to go home, they're always ready. Robert, Alan, and Bill are last, not least And now, thank goodness, my rhyme has ceased.

Every team we played during the season was loaded with veteran players but---that didn't seem to handicap our team at all. The candidates were late in starting practice due to the fact that our gymnasium was not completed until early in November. Our first game was not encouraging to the fans and was an over- whelming defeat by Standish, a team that has been playing in a higher bracket. After that defeat the boys settled down to good hard work and by the end of the season Buxton had won thirteen games out of nineteen played. The games that were lost were by a small margin and a little help from Hlady luckn might have decided those games in our favor. Our new gym has been a valuable asset to the squad because practicing on a large floor enables a team to acquire the finesse and poise that is necessary for any team to win a share of its games. Future teams of Buxton ought to benefit immensely from this wonderful building. It is hard to give any individual credit for the season'sshow- ing but Ronnie Meyer, the captain, was a hard fighting, inspira- tional leader. He was an ideal team man without any signs of in- dividual playing, It was one of the best fighting teams our high school has produced in years and the bcys carried their offensive and defensive assignments nicely in all of their games. Next year's team ought to be even more successful because the following capable players will be left for a nucleus to build around: Keith Leavitt, wayne Jose, Charlie Davis, Marvin Ewing, Richard Strait, Calvin Reynolds, Bobby Black, Robert Hutchinson, Chester Pease, and Arnold Davis, who have earned their letters during the past year, Standish 56 - Buxton 29 fHomeE ' The first time Standish appeared on our schedule for many years resulted in a one sided victory for the visitors. Our boys show- ed the result of lack of practice and didn't have their offense and defense functioning smoothly. Mores and Langley were the sharp shooters for Standish while Capt. Ronnie Meyer seemed to be the only Buxton player who was able to penetrate the pressing man for-man defense used by Standish. Wiscasset 39 - Buxton 37 CThereD December 9, we journeyed to Wiscasset in HBlackie'sN jalopy and engaged in a contest with Wiscasset that will long be rememb- ered by the fans of that town. Wiscasset had a veteran team and the game was finally won in the last no seconds of play by a field goal and foul shot by Bobby Hersom. The result was thathis 12 points more than helped to defeat us. Buxton 38 - Cornish 30 CHome No one gave us a chance to defeat Cornish because we were playing with only one member of last year's championship team a- vailable, CRon Meyerb. Cornish did not lose a player from last year's squad and it seemed probablek that they would' win by at least ten baskets, but due to sharp guarding, and a splendid of- fense that was beginning to get underway, we were victorious. Meyer and Leavitt shot for double figures and Big Hutch and Gannett did some masterful guarding. Watkins was Cornish's chief offensive threat. Buxten M8 - Potter M6 CThereD December 12, we journeyed to Potter Academy and engaged in a hectic game, which we finally won by the very close score. It was more or less of a scoring duel between Capt. Meyer and Sntmrn of Potter. The game was won in the last few minutes of play. Potter nl - Buxton 30 CHomeD Potter came to Buxton and got sweet revenge on our team by winning the return game. Cobb and their center, Reinhardt, were two thorns in our side all evening, while we had one of those nights. when every thing went wrong. Meyer was again our high scorer while the rest of the boys on our team couldn't seem to buy a basket. Our defense was also quite porous. Sanborn, a tricky player, will have to be watched next year! Buxton 36 e Hollis 32 fThereD Oh! What a game the fans from both towns witnessed December lb.

We would have been satisfied before the game with a victory by our girls. Pease, who had previously Hset it outu was placed in the line-up and electrified the fans by his superior offensive and defensive plays. He hit for lO points during the evening and has not been out of the line-up since. Capt. Meyer and Leavitt were towers of strength for our cause. Hollis put up a good fight but were weak on the foul line. Y Casco 71 - Buxton 59 fHomeD It seemed as if every team we met this year was sprinkled with veteran players and Casco was no exception. We had previously met Rolfe and Tripp twice and they always gave us trouble. They are both tall, rugged boys, and it was almost impossible to guard against their hook and jump shotsg but our boys fought their hearts out. We matched them basket for basket until the last three minutes. Excellent sportsmanship was shown and the game was a humdinger. Buxton 39 - Limington 23 CHomeD This game was more or less of a breather for our boys after having played hectic games with Standish, Casco and Wiscasset. The weather was bad and the attendance was poor and this seemed to re-act against the playing of both teams. Our defense was properly set up during this game and it was impossible for the boys of Limington to penetrate it. Buxton S5 - Limerick MO crnerey Our boys were hitting on all four cylinders January l3 when we journeyed to Limerick to play in their small hall. We all thmngw that our team would be handicapped by the small playing surface but Leavitt, Meyer and L. Strait had their eye that night and dumped in ld, ll, and l7 points respectively. Buxton MS - Cornish 39 CThereJ This game was hard fought and it was defense and the excellent offensive work of Meyer, Leavitt, and Strait enabled us to pile up the score. Watkins and Day kept Cornish in the thick of the fight and their defense was the best that we encountered during the whole year. It was a blessing that Ronnie had a good night because Cornish was a difficult team to beatg besides, they were the best coached team in our league. Buxton S6 - Limerick 29 CHereD The return game with Limerick here on our home court found the visiting team badly outclassed. Limerick was handicapped due to two of her star players being ineligible. Every one in the Bux- ton squad had an opportunity to demonstrate his ability as a basketball player. This game gave the coach a chance to use some of next year's squad. continued ' Meyer as usual dominated the offense and Pease, Gannett and Hutchinson plugged all of the leaks in the offense. Candage and Patterson shot well for Limerick and were in the game every min- ute. Casco 68 - Buxton eh CTherel Another game that was an excellent exhibition of offense but the defense of both teams was woefully weak. Buxton by all rtnns ought to have won this return game for we were leading by four points with about three minutes of the game remaining. It must have been an act of Providence that the floor became so moist that time-out was called to mop it up. It was a lucky break for Casco as it gave Jim Rolfe an opportunity to have a rest period which he was badly in need of. After time was in again Rolfe caught on fire and went on to win the game for Casco. Standish 63 - Puxton M9 KThereJ Buxton showed the results of a hectic season's play when'Hry met Standish and were unable to stand up under the torrid pace set by the home team. In spite of Ronnie Meyers 25 points we came out on the short end of the score. Buxton nl - Limington 26 CTherel This game looked like an upset victory for Limington for Bux- ton only led by one point after the first half. After a little pep talk during the halves our boys came out with fire in their eyes and proceeded to go to town during the last half. This game established Buxton as champions of the York division of the Cum- berland-York Small 5chool's Conference. Buxton h? - New Gloucester he Chomeb c February 2,vNew Gloucester came to Buxton for an 'exhibition game with our team. These New Gloucester's gave us all the bas- ketball that we wanted for one evening and then some. Leone, a whirling dervish, who continually scored from the bucketg Coates, a fancy shot in around the basket, forced us into an overtime period before we finally won. Leavitt and Meyer scored 32 of our A9 points and Leavitt did a good job in guarding Leone. Every one wondered why such a splen- did team as New Gloucester had, didn't finish higher in the league standing. Buxton 36 - Hollis 19 Chomel Oh! what a climax when Hollis came to our gym for our return game. Over six-hundred fans present. Cfroceeds to Seniors for their washington Trip.D The score was very close during the first half but as was the case during the entire season, Hollis seemed to lose steam during the last period and fell by the way- side.

The gym at Potter Academy was packed to the rafters and even those were filled with people. At the end of the first period we were leading by one point. In the second one, Charlie Tripp, while putting the ball in play threw a had pass to the other end of the court that hit the net and sent the crowd into an uproar. This brought them out in front and they remained there until the half. In the third quarter we surged ahead for the second time and were leading at the end of the period. During the fourth quarter as the tension was rising, they were within one point of tieing the score. Then we forged forward to win the Cumberland-York Small School Championship. We were not chosen for the State Tourney but I have no hard feelings on that subject. Our team Hthat wasn't going to win a game,n came from behind to win the first place trophy in the newly formed league. The rest of the team joins with me congratulating our coach, Mr. James Stonier, on his efforts to mould this team together. Without his help and knowledge we might have finished where it was said we would. 1 fi J n 1 , , ' f9' uf? I-.1 - .fy .. - m , , ,Sf N 'Q , hx' 'lf 1 -,fqilf ,-:.:l,gL .X R 4. 5.

We asked Mrs. Stonier to be our Advisor. At our first meeting, we requested volunteers to come out for practice. Seven girls answered the call, but it was impossible to use girls who wanted to play on the basketball squad because our practice hours conflicted. This reduced our members to five. It was at this meeting we decided to wear black skirts, white blouses, sneakers and socks, -We ordered black wool skirts from Portland but they were too late for the first game. After several practice periods and much talk, we appeared at the Alumni game for our first real cheerleading. Our Posture was poor and our voices not always in unison but we knew we would and could improve with time. Of course we were new at this business of cheering and were somewhat frightened. By the time we played Cornish our new skirts had arrived so we sallied forth in like costumes---and with more confidence. Not long after this one of our number dropped out leaving us, to carry on, with the following: Donna Dumphy, Alberta Doughty, Claudia Higgins and Norma Libby. The spirit of the spectators has helped our enthusiasm and we hope that cheerleading will continue to be a success in the com- ing years at B. H.

SPRING Of all the seasons that we have, The one I like is spring, with all the birds and flowers bright, Green grass and everything. To hear the crickets and the frogs, To hear the south wind sigh, The scent of mayflowers on the breeze, And the hues of an April sky. To hear the song of the meadow lark And a soaring hawk's wild cry. And at night as the sun is setting Behind yon distant hill, You can hear the whippoorwill sing And then you know for sure 'tis spring. The Bard of the Back Nippin Road,- V Bobby Black 'SS GOD God watches in the sky all day, He made the ocean's boundless waves, While little angels sit and play. He made the rocks and rills.
