ARNOLD For the members of the group prospecting for engineering positions Mrs. Clarke's advance math courses, interestingly spiced with philosophy, plus Mr. Clark's physics course were essential. Mr. Clark also served as a valuable assistant to our warriors when they went out to do battle against enemy camps. More math and science were handed out by Mr. Arnold and Mr. D, A. Alvino, but it was as gen- erals in the battles of the pigskin that they shall long be remembered. Whether they sent forth their teams to invade foreign territory or to repel invasion of the home camp, the battles were equally spirited. Even now, as we near the end of the journey, we vividly recollect those exciting encounters.

Destined to he Captain of our particular group and a friend to all, she left her home town of Bruns- wick, Maine, to join us. Dealing with the field of foreign relations, she conveyed information concern- ing French language and geography. Stepping into her wagon was like entering France, so realistic were the pictures with which she decorated its interior. How to write a business letter or figure the cost of painting our future home was learned from following the directions given by Mr. Schultz, but more intricate than either of these subjects were the rules of his fa- vorite game, Chess. The hours spent with him over the Chess board were oases in our journey across the land of knowledge. Mr. VVilson's library was also an oasis to usg for, weary from studying, we could relax with a bit of light literature found in a magazine or novel. and rolled out the Welcome mat for a distinguished gentleman by the name of Sir john 'll lrcotte, English teacher and track coach. A very gay, casual atmos- phere enveloped Sanford High because of Sir john's humor. Mr. Turcotte's departure for further study at an Eastern college was a great loss to all. Well along in our journey we threw open the doors 1 PAGE 1

C1f:1.LA l I'art of our recollections of those atifrays is colored with visions of our snappy band marching across the field of battle in their red and white uniforms. and once again we hear the strains of the martial music which stirred up within us the fighting spirit. Though occasionally we may have bowed in defeat to enemy wagon trains over the possession of the pigskin, we ever won the envy of our foe with our band. But it was not only in the battle that Mr. lfirth and his assist- ants, Mr. Ramsdell and Mr. Cella, displayed the talents of their musicians. A softer, more soothing music was often played to us as we gathered around the fireside on a cold evening. Sometimes it was the voices of our fellow travelers united in choral singing under the direction of Miss Harvey that delighted us in our recreation hours. The annual concerts of her Boys' and Girls, Glee Clubs attracted many visitors to our camp. W'e cannot forget Miss Harrison who spent her time in our caravan showing what delights exist for us in the held of art. Many a pleasing bit of scenery along the way was sketched by her protegesg occasionally we caught them sketching some of us. XfVhether it was a poster that was desired, illustrations for our monthly journal or yearbook, or decorations for a whole wagon, Miss Harrison and her aides always cheerfully supplied the need. And now the gold country is just ahead. Soon we shall have that first pan of gold, and then this valiant staff will turn back to guide other wagon trains west- ward. NVe, with their precepts and examples as a background, shall continue on- ward, striving for better things with an assiduous desire to benefit from the long journey VVEST. A811115 HARVEY HAZEL M.
