We have a powerful Constitution which contains the HB1ll of Rights.H Thus our civil liberties are guarded end protected. We have infinite rights and privileges for the privacy and dignity of our individuel lives. Our government maintains armed forces for our secu- rity. Because of this, we can retire each night with pence of mind knowing that our netion's defenses are strong and invincible. Our eountry's hope for the future is fittingly expressed by Themes Paine, NGod Almighty will not give up n people to military destruction, or leave them unsupportedly to perish, who have so earnestly and so repeatedly sought to avoid the calamities of wer by every decent method which wisdom could in- vent.H What is there to fear if such Q power be on our side? -ss-s-ssstwmoiis PM-ss f, .W .sees . .- , I . .

The following officers were elected: President, Joan Galambosg Vice-President, Virgil El- wellg Secretary, Claudia Higginsg Treasurer, Janice Lynch. Meme bers for the Student Council were: Joyce Usher, Rosalind Pegg, T Teddy Pinkham, and Alan Richards. October found us making plans for a harvest supper which turned out to be a great success. WO, also, held an auction which clear- ed about 3100. The HEuXton Bulldogn was offered to the Junior Class to edit. ln November we held a Record Hop and sold the annual Christmas Cards: It was decided to sell sweatshirts to add to our funds. This month a new classmate joined our rank--Keith Bangs. December found us working on the Senior Play. Virgil Elwell, left us to join the Air Force and Robert Gerrish was elected Vice- Presidont for the remainder of the year. The small school tournaments held in our gym in February added to our profit from the sale of candy, tonic, and snacksf We were very grateful for the opportunity to have a benefit movie at the Gorham Theater. ln March we had raffles including a doily which was donated by Mrsn Jack Wallace. Many thanks, Mrs. Wallace. We have been represented in Basketball this year by Captain Joyce Ushen Center Forward Helen Wilson, and Claudia Higgins as manager. Teddy Pinkham was the Captain of the boys' team and Allan Townsend, manager. Helen Wilson won the school trophy for foul- shooting and runner-up was Joyce Usher. Claudia Higgins is the pianist for the newly organized orchests ram-HBuxtonaires.H We are all looking forward to Washington and wish to thank all the townspeople for helping to make this trip possible, Our chip- eiones for the trip will be Mr. Anthony Mezoian and Mrss G nrtance Marceaxc At long last is June lh, when all the fur and work we have had the past four years will come to an end because it is graduc ion Not Worth It HGimme a dime's worth of asafetida,H said the girl.

SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Left to Right: Secretary, C. Higginsg Vice President, R. Gerrish, Treasurer, J. Lynch CLASS POEM nS6n BARBARA PINKHAM The tide comes in, and the tide goes out. Like the senior class, this year, no doubt. Joyce and Helen are our basketball stars. Joe and Keith have trouble with their cars. Rose and Peg like roadsters--there's a reason. Mac and George wear coats all season. Joan and Janice grand students are they, Plan to attend college at some future day. Teddy and Richie we must not forget. Johnny and Bob will be farmers, I bet. Townie and Claudia are managers. Barbie and Arlene may be bandagers. And after this year is comoleted and through, They'll sail like a shin to a harbor true. FREEDGM CARL SANDBURG Personal freedom, a wide range of individual expression, a comnlete respect for a human mind and the human personality--this is an ideal of the democratic system, In all the literature, the documents of democracy, you find this resnect, this hone, this attitude of reverence toward the fullest possible flowering of each human personality. President Lincoln enjoyed quoting the Irishman who said, mln this country every man is as good as the next one and for the matter of that a little better.H We are men, not angels--that is sure. Also we hope we are men and not mice. And sometimes we feel like worms of the dust, doing the best we can, moving a little soil of the earth from where it was to where it will be. CLASS ODE - 1956 JANICE LYNCH fTune: Londonderry Air? The time has come when we must say good-bye to you. Oh, Buxton High, our Alma Mater, dear, Though years may find us far and bring adventures new, To all our hearts and memories you'll be near. Our lessons here accomnlished and our friendships made, To seek our goal, life's road we'll start to climb. While using strength and knowledge you have given us, Wefll leave our footprints in the sands of time.

The seeking of honors always creitcs a wide field of com- petition. And competition is what makes the world jo round. It invites each individual to be at his best and to use his ability the best he knows how. Honors will he, as they have always been, the spark that keeps everyone interested in doing his best.

They came to America so they could have liberty to worship God as they' pleased. But they were still not free from the British government In 1776 the Revolutionary War freed them entirely from Britian. Ever since that time a word has appeared on our coins and is repeated again and again in our histories. It is a word that every true American should see in his imagination when he sees the Stars and Stripes floating in the breeze. This word is liberty. America is by tradition the land of hospitality. It has wel- comed people and ideas from all over the world. Always from the first the American people have had a chance to use their own judg- ment and make their mistakes, then correct them and go ahead. Here in an atmosphere of unhampered thought and free movement men have debated and tested, invented and adopted, rejected and a- d0Pted whatever notion or device seemed best suited to the progres of a democratic life. America is a country of hope where all sorts of different people from nearly every nation in the world get along together under the same big sky. ' Some people do not know just what it means to be an American. There is more to it than just living in America. An American must love liberty. He must know how to use his hands and brains. He must honor the United States above all other countries. He must be loyal and serve his country every day. Americanism is not the showing of reckless independence but a spirit of doing good. America has tried to stand for fair play, to do away with selfishness and to contribute generously toward the forwarding of America's ideals. In the past we have been considered by the Old World to be a na tion of nmoney makersn not caring for higher ideals. They have said we were selfish and only thought of the uAlmighty Dollar.n People in the United States longed and hoped for the day to come when Europe and the other nations would know what a big heart we have. American idealism is not a thing of the past as has been IDPOVBD 0 About the beginning of this century an element, likely to kill the healthy American way of living, started to clamor us for ad- mittahge into our society. It was the virus of socialism and com- munism, At first the intrusion was only classed as a nuisance, but later when they not only preached but attempted world revolu- tion and launched a movement against American democracy, this nui- sance became a pestilent danger. ' Every American should remember that International Communism will break any promise and go to any length of treachery or deceit to undermine the vitality of our institutions and our way of liv- ing- ,4 oz. fsygga g g 1 ,3 f ig The United States does not want world empire. It does not want to be a master race. All these ideas are completely opposed to the American way of life. we want peace with honor. We want a peace of living. The peace of a world of free men. In our deal- ings with other nations we should have our rights, and keep our self-respect. America always has been, and still is, slow to take offense. Americanism stands for freedom--freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, ana freedom from fear. Our flag means freedom and hope. It means a good neighbor not a master. It means a nation and a people who believe in man and man's future and the free world that man can make. Everything depends upon peace. This is Americanism. We hope it will always be the American way. THE BETTY CHOCKER SEARCH FOR THm AMMRICAN HOMEMAKER OF TOMORROW WHAT Ib Tas SLJARCH? on December 6, 1955, 256,000 senior high school girls in schools across the nation took an examination--a test of HHomemaking Knowledge and Attitudes.U This program, sponf sored by General Mills is designed to further the dignity and prestige of the American home and to stimulate interest in theart of homemaking. WHAT NEXT? The examination of each school Homemaker of Tomorrow is now being graded with the examination papers of all the other school winners in her state--and a State Homemaker of Tomorrow will soon be announced. This representative girl will be awarded a 31,500 college scholarship and an expense-paid educational tour of the nation's capital, Mount Vernon, and Colonial Williamsburg, Va. Her school will receive a set of the Encyclopedia Britannica. IH each state,there will also be a S500 scholarship awarded to the school Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow, who is the second highest rating girl in her state. Dear Arlene: As the Homemaker of Tomorrow in your school you are undoubtedq receiving congratulations from all sides. May I add mine to the many others? How proudly you must be wearing your Homemaker of Tomorrow Pifll You have good reason to be proud of yourself, for you have been given this award as a representative of all the girls in your class. Because I believe so deeply that homemaking is the greatest ms rear in the world, I feel very close to you high school seniors WhO Wlll be our homemakers in the not very far-off future. Much help and encouragement is needed by many of these young women,and you can be a splendid example. Next will be the choosing of the Homemaker of Tomorrow for yom' State and finally the All-American Homemaker of Tomorrow. You may achieve one or both of these awards. But you have already gone fa' and done much to make your family proud and happy and to win dise tinction for your school. I . ,, .

JOYCE USHER '56 When I was a Freshman in High School, I was very anxious to be part of the basketball team, as most of my friends had decid- ed to participate in this sport. Actually I hadn't the slightest idea of what the game was like or how to play. Mr. Stonier was our coach my first year. The first thing he taught us was to dribble. We practiced at least two or three times a week, and unfortunately the boys were always there watching as they practiced after we did. One Tuesday night the girls' team was scheduled to play a home game. My friends, that were in the same class, Barbara and Rosalind were as new at the game as I was. We all had basket- ball uniforms and we all sat on the bench together just shaking for fear that we would have to play. NI hope he doesn't put us in tonight,n Barbara said. And my only reply was, nIf he does I'll die.H As the game went on, our girls were not playing their best basketball. Some of the girls were fouled out, some were taken out and the coach had started to substitute. Barbara's first reaction was, nLet's sit back so that he can't see usn and of course I agreed. . After the substitute girls had been playing for awhile the coach decided to substitute again, and this time he came right over to where Barbara and I were sitting. nMr. Stonier is coming over here,H I said. HI know it,H Barbara whispered. The next thing I knew I was going on to the basketball floor. I remember the coachfs last words as I was leaving the bench. He said, Heat in there and Score-H Well of course, I didn't score as I had had no experience and I was shaking so. A Finally the coach took me out, but just the same I was pretty la ed As I walked back to the bench and gave a d t h Y ' ' Eggs oforeligf? Barbara said, nGee, you did good.

I was eight years old at the time and my enthusiasm for locomotives had reached its peak. Sam, the station mfster, walked by and said a cheery good morning to ne, He was quite used to seeing me there each Satunkg and had begun to cell me by my nickname, WRedN. About an hour later, Sam came out and told one of the men to make sure the track was clear as a special was due any minute, I jumned from the box I was standing on and rushed in front of the station so I would be able to see more clearly. Many others had gathered there and everyone seemed excited. What was so sped ial about this usoecialn I wondered? The train steamed down the trick and came to a halt in front of the station. A small groun of neonle left the train to breath some of our wonderful country air. In the midst of the grouo was a tall, lean man with a stern look of determination written on his face. He seemed to be the center of attraction as everyone was DuSHlH2 to get next to him, Uowever, they were restrained by the grouo which encircle the man. Finally he looked at me and said, nLittle boy, would yTR1El6HSS get me a drink of water? I am quite thirsty.n I said I would and rushed to the water-bucket, filled a dinpen and returned to him. We drank the water and handed the dinner to me as he said, HThark you. Now let me shake your hand before I leave because you are S fine, young Americfn.H I stretched my hand to his 'nd he clutched it firmly in his strong palm. I could feel his tremendous mower is we shook hands, The group then turned ind boarded the train. As the Ltrain left the strtion, I heard Sam say, nThere goes the greatest man alive, the President of the United States.H I then burst with ecstasy as I realized I had eynepignced tha thrill of a lifetime. 9?

Kimball turned in his saddle and glanced back at the column of grey uniformed cavalry as they trotted along the muddy South Carolina road. The same spring rain which had turned the road to mud had soaked the men to the skin and their urifcrms steamed in the early morning sun. Kimball turned his orders fver and over in his mind, Lead a platoon of cavalry into enemy-ormfci South Carolina, uncover a millionudollars worth of gold buried by the planters before they fled, and return it to the Confederate lines. On this day, Anril 2, ldS6, the Confederate States, ridden with inflation, were headed toward destruction. With this money the war could be carried on and maybe even won, Kemball looked at his orders once more and brought out of his deec thought by the sound of hoofabeats. We slinped the damn caoer back into his uniform as a mud-scattered scout reined in his horse and threw a hasty salute in his direction. HThe yanks must have suotted us, there's a whole trooo of Cavalry a-headed this away at a good clioln he drawled between-breaths. Kimball had only one choice, send Calhoun with some men to keep the yankees busy while he beat it into the swamn. HScrgcont Calhoun, take twenty men and keen those Yankees busy then follow me into the swamo,H said Kimball. as Fimball approached a large gulley, surrounded by nines, he noticed smoke. it the ed'e of the gulley, were at least a dozen tents and many blue coated soldiers sat around several fires cook ing their breakfasts. He was half-way down the side before he gathered his wits. The rest of the platoon followed suit sending the frightened bluecoats in all directions. The last man was safely un the other side before the Yankees had gathered them- selves and started shooting back. Kimball led his men out of the woods and as they oassed an old mansion a shot rang out followed by a scream as a man clutched chest and tumbled off his horse. Ugnioepln yelled another as he whicoed out his rifle. HI see himln Another shot rang out and a bluecoated figure drowned from a second story. A little later he urged his mount into the swamo. nwatch Out,H he yelled back, nthis swamp is full of quick- sand and crocodilesl A The horses struggled through the swamc kneedeep in water,while 'en dodfed low-hanging branches. The silence of the swamp was Qijkfh by the yell of a man, who found that his horse was sinking 1 ksand. in 3363 a couple of ropes on that horse, on the double!u yelled Kimb all, A couple of husky cowboys soon hac the horse and rider . v , Y l H 'hi out of their plight onto solid ground. , Y 2 1 4 As soon as they arrived at an island, in the swamp, where theg sold was buried Kimball set some of the men to digging un theif fold, others to starting'fires, and rubbing down horses. Tot lengt? after, Calhoun rode in with seven men. 2 Hhad a little trouble,H said Calhoun, Hthe yanks have gotli troocs all over the olace. We'll never set out of here.n W HWe'll leave at sunset so we will leave the svann undercover of darkness,H renlied Vimball. is the sun went down, the golf having been uncovered and nach- ed on the horses, Kimball led his men through the svamn. 'bout halfwar out, at the terrified whinney of r horse, Timball turned and peered through the dushv light in time,to see the horse ton- nle and throw its rider into the murkev water. The thrishing tail of a crocodile boiled un the water and the man was 'one, Dy the time ther reached the edje of the SW9'D, it wis witch dark excent for an occasional glimnse of the moon in the cloudy sky.

The air seemed to be humid and unclean, The sky had no brightw ness because the stars had lost their usual twinkle, It was an uncomfortable night, and I was in a hurry to get homeo As I was thinking how boring the night was, I heard a piercing and unfamiliar howl from the dark woods, I stopped abruptly and listened, After what seemed an eternity, I heard the wild sound again, Utterly dumbfounded, I stood stillg I was set on finding out what it was. , Restless from standing still, I walked slowly toward the woods straining for any sound. Suddenly it came again! Anxiously, I started running. Again I heard it! I stopped, completely surrounded by woods, I could see nothing except the grim figures of trees. The noise had stopped, and I, filled with anxiety, could hardly wait, Try- ing to keep control of my emotions, I walked toward where the noise appeared to be coming from. Then I heard it again! I was only a few yards away and I was in no hurry to go any further. I began to think just what it could bel I could think of only two thingsg it was no human sound and not many animals were capable of uttering such a shriekn I new began to be curiousj I just had to find out what made that noise! In haste, I ran until I came to the place where the noise had originatedg I could tell that it was from a high spot. So, I climbed the tree and found a nest. To my dismay and surprise, it contained a group of screech owls. A DOG STORY DOROTHY Doses '57 1 mm 3 dgg, my name is Mickey.

J' A REBIRTH OF CULTURE AND LEARNING GERALDINE ROBERTS '53 Renaissance is a French word which means Hrehirthn or a Unew birth, It relates to the period between the cally Middle Ages and the beginning of modern timesu It started as a Hrebirthu of interest in the old Greek and Latin writers and broadened out into marvelous new activity in sculptuief painting and literature, As time went on, men thcrqhw and wrote about their own tines, emotions and gave expression 'to their religious preferences, and appreciation of beauty thzaugh the works of great architects and artistso The Renaissance first began in Italy because it was the scene of the glories of ancient Rome. The rulers of some of the Italian cities became much inter- ested in this HNew Learningu which was only the old learning brought ouch ageing Some spent large sums of money encoulaglng students, painters, and sculptors with their workn As far as the Renaissance changed peoole's attitudes, its work was done chiefly thjougn the new interest in literature and learning was called lumanism. Humanism fs writing: which deal with man's nature and interests rather than with scholsszic subs jects, W The greatest of humanists was a Dutchman named Erasmus. He wrote a Dock called NThe Praise of Folly,H which was a discussion about the evils of his times Petrarch fell so in love with the books of the ancient Romans that he preferred their language for his prose works. His most famous are his charming sonnets which he wrote to Laura, in Italian. ' Some would call the printing press the greatest invention of all. The Chinese, were the first to make blocks which could be used in pryntingi the sims thing' over and over. John Gutenhurg gets the credit for inventing the printing press. Looking at a deck of cards he wonderedt if a block could not be made so that the same figures could be printed repeatedly instead of painting each card separately. He triedvwood, leather, and iron and fins ally he decided that lead was the best material for his use. 'Tn Italy the grandest achievements of the Renaissance were in thehfield of art., Archimcuure owes much to religion.- In the eleventh and twelfth centuries a new style of architec- ture anpeared, called Gothic. In the Gothic style instead of the 56,5 arch we have the high pointed arch.

Roger Bacon was an Englishman who studied theology at Paris and then became a friar, Fa tried to find out the truth about things instead of accepting the superstitions or magical explana- tion that often was given. A part of the achievements of the Renaissance appeared in new material things such as thc compass, A Polish scientist, Copernicus, was bold enough to believe that Ptolemy was wrong in making the earth the center of the uni- verse. The earth, he said, is simply a planet going around the SUD.. Galileo went still further in his acquaintance with the uni- verse. He discovered the principle of the pendulum and con- structed a tHGPKOm5t8P and a telescope. For several reasons some Europeans were indhisitive about Asia Trade with the Near Fast, the use of goods from India, and the stories of returned Crusaders helped to make them son Prince Henry, of the Portuguese royal family, gave freely of his time and money to promote expeditions to the south. Barthol- mew Diaz sailed around the cape and it was soon named the Cape of Good Hope. Vasco da Game sailed in the same direction, but kept north and east and reached Galicut in India. The explorer Cabrall, sailing off to the south, was driven out of his course by the wind and reached Brazil. The Italian, Verrazans, visited the New World for France and Cartier went up the St. Lawrence River to the present site of Montreal. Ferdinand Magellan went farther and saw more than any who pre- ceded him. In 1519 he started from Spain with expeditions which followed south along the coast of South America and through the strait now named after him. . It broadened man's interest in the church and gave them a de- sire for a greater variety in life. It gave the people a new - ' sq. V - , confidence in themselves and a courage to think and do new things i OH? Of the outstanding features of modern Europe is its divi- sion into a number of clearly defined national states. Each has 1tS Own governments, its own institutions, its own laws. These States did not all develop in the same way or at the same timeg they are not of the same size. Some are large and some are smallg but however small each has distinctive traits, which give it a marked quality, The Renaissance gave us many things that we should appreciate very much because if it wasn't for that we probably wouldn't be as far advanced today as we are. WHAT TH OLD TRUNK HID DONNA REYNOLDS '59 The day seemed to be full of seasonal changes. In the later part of the afternoon I had been exploring in the attic. The big trunk looked very inviting. Of course what it contained was none of my business. I, full of curiousity, pryed at the lock, and found the cover movable. It lifted gradually, and squeaked unbearably. I let it fall back quickly into place, relaxing for a few minutes. Then my courage returned. Again I tried the squeaking lid and it came completely up. I stood in astonishment. The sight was a ghastly horror. I could feel cold blood rushing through me. I felt like a dead Eskimo in the frozen Yukon. I thought I was going to faint but something managed to give me.a helping hand. In the trunk was a corpse. The gown it was wearing told me she was a new bride. As I stood there staring the lid fell down. I heard the lock snap into place. I knew it was locked forever. My parents always thought the trunk was empty. In the spring it will be hauled to the dump. .I'll never tell of this incident. Even if I did, who would be- lieve me? A SURPRISE JENNY CAMPBELL '59 A few weeks ago while I was at my Aunt's for vacation, we were invited out for dinner. Of course, I hadn't any idea of what was to happen after. We got dressed and were all ready to go. Aunt Sue not the car out and we left for the Weaver's. That is where we Wgwe Goins to have our dinner.

It is a desert of more than three hun- dred and fifty acres., A little more than fifty years ago it was a fertile farm. Now all there is is sand. A few tree tops can be seen, which shows how deep the sand is. No one knows how or why this desert started. Scientists from Massachusetts Institute of Technology,I University of Maine, and geologists from other colleges-and universities have studied it. Some say a thousand years ago a lake may have been there and dried up. The sand is finer than seashore sand and contains much silica. It also contains irong felsparg white, black, and brown micagciayg decayed vegetable matter, and black, red, and yellow ocher. All of these are responsible for the brilliant colors. There are also animals of the desert: deer, foxes, rabbits, pheasants, partridges, and woodcock. The admission to the desert is one dollar, however, you can sta and explore as long as you desire. There is also a gift shop where you can buy souvenirs, including small bottles filled with these different colored sands. The desert is still spreading and nobody knows when it will stop. It is a place worth visiting, this Desert of Maine. DOWN BY THE RIVER CARL CHURCHILL '58 There are many interesting places, but best of all is the one down by the river. I go there often to watch the beavers at work or play. I always find it comforting to walk along the bank watch- ing turtles or frogs. One place I like especially, is a distant house. It's a beautiful spot when the sun is shining and soft breezes are blowing. I found this spot one day when I was hiking with a friend. The river cuts through the rocks leaving high boulders and ledges. Tall pines hover on the bank to add to the beauty. A little way down there's a steep hill. When you climb to the top, about two-hundred feet up, you see a valley off in the distance. As you look down on pines and birches, it almost takes your breath away, because it is so beautiful. Off in the distance you can see the White Mountains. To the East you see the farms and houses of my neighbors. To the West you can see miles of forest and rolling hills. One gets the feel- ing of being either on top of the world, or floating on a cloud, Now you go down in the valley and view the clean and sweet- Smellini f'lOWe1 s. This is one spot hardly ever seen by people. and its only inhabitants are the animals and birds. As you look around, you forget all about your worries and troubles. Truly this is a place to dream, but words cannot describe is beauty and splendor. I, I' H ,L , M' vw Lb ri , WH I' w I lj aw' XM K S5 :Ii xq f 1 K I lv-J-rar -:rf-1 . 9-f-Q-43 il ' wk p f .

Each Sunday thousands of families in the United States attend church. Not because they are commended to gog they go because they choose to do so. This is one of our most treasured freedoms. One of the basic reasons the Pilgrims came to this country was that they might worship God accord- ing to their own beliefs. Later, when our Constitu- tion was drafted, freedom of worship was included in the Bill of Rights. Today in America everyone may worship God according to his own desires. This is our heritage. Let's keep our light of religious freedom ever a shining beacon.

' with nearly the entire team lost by graduation, and getting ao- quainted with a new coach, it was decided to get an early start, As we were to leave the small school league and join the classy Triple C Q0umberland County Conference? we required much practice. The boys liked the way Mr. Philbrick made them practice and after three games won their first one fron Hollis. We also took Potter here and the Alumni during Christmas vacation. This last game gave our boys the much needed confidence since they were pbwe ing against much older and more experienced boys. It must have been the Spaghetti Supper that the cheerleaders put on that got the boys to upset Greely. At this game Dick Berry really put on a show. He scored ton more than he also scored l7 a Freshman, hit ov from all angles and totaled 39 points which was scored against Windham the week before. Gannett ainst Greely for his season's high. Dick Vail, a .D er 20 points against Limington and Hollis. Sopho- more Robert Pinkham's top game was against Penncll at Gray when he scored 2l. Our captain and only Senior, Teddy Pinhham, led the team in spirit and enthusiasm. He came into his own in the last heme game with 13 points. John Green, George Davis, and Arnold Grant played some important relief roles. The boys really played their hearts out at the Portland Expo only to lose another close one to the Falmouth team, Stgndigh had taken this Falmouth team by a very small margin of points. the exception of Ted Pinkham, will all be back again next year.

Oh earthly stars, than heaven more fair By heaven's mercy sent, we leave our hearts with you each day When forth to labor bent!

We are sure that the readers of the Crescent would be interested in sharing the following letter from an Alumna of Buxton High School. Dear Mr. Stonier: - I saw an article in the Jan. 18 issue of the Portland Press Herald describing the efforts of the cheerleaders of the Samuel D. Hanson High School to raise money for the Athletics' Department. It took me back to the time when, in the old Buxton High School, we raised money to buy an organ for the school. Since I gradua- ted in the class of 1902, it will be apparent that this was some time ago. The school consisted of about HO members, in all. The class of 1902 was one of the larger ones, and graduated eight, although fifteen had entered. Our principal was Mr. Jere Hill of Grove- ville, and our assistant Mrs. D.M. Hutchinson, whose son is still on the old place. We had no athletic activities at all. An occasional play or social, to raise money for graduation was the only social activity we had. The school consisted of the assembly room and a small recitation roomy the lower part of the building being occupied by the grammar school. It would look pretty small and poverty stricken to the student body of today. - -And yet I am indebted to that small school for more than I can express. In it I learned to study, and that study does not end with graduation. Later I took one year of Normal School Cthat was when two years was the regular course! and yet when I came to teach, it was to the High School that I owed the greater part of the material which was of use. During the last part of the senior year, the assistant, realizing that some of us would go out into the rural schools, with no other preparation, for teach- ingg--slanted the instruction to help them--and it was a great help. I have taught twelve,years in the rural schools of Maine-five before my marriage, and returning during the emergency, seven years. I have done considerable writing, being actively engaged in it now, as well as serving as lecturer in the Grange for a number of years. And in all this work, I am glad to pay my grate- ful tribute to what Buxton High---little old. Buxton High--ndid for me. I am glad to note the growth and improvement of the school I wish I could let those old teachers and schoolmates know how much I owe them. But the school is still there, and heir to all the good of the past, and SQ, to you who are its head, I extend my best wishes and-my hopes that the boys and girls you are teaching may get as much out of it as I did.
