THE FOUR CORNERS SCARBORO HIGH SCHOOL Volume XXVIII May, 1940 Number 1 ZdUo Ucdi PREAMBLE OF THE “FOUR CORNERS” We, the students of Scarboro High, in order to form a more perfect school, estab¬ lish friends, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the Freshmen, promote the Seniors and secure the blessing ' s of the faculty to ourselves and our community, do ordain and establish this year book. SCHOOL SPIRIT School spirit is really an undefinable quality which should be present in every school. It means backing the team in vari¬ ous sports, and showing an interest in the school. Yet, in another sense, it means simply the attitude of the students towards the different activities of the school. Each year fewer people attend the school dances. It is the lack of school spirit. Why shouldn ' t the students of the high school patronize its dances? Almost always a good band supplies the music, and if more people came to hear it, the classes would profit more by the dances. If, by chance, the basketball team loses a victory, some students are inclined to turn against the team altogether; they are disgusted with the players, and refuse to cheer. This certainly shows the lack of school spirit. When a “pep assembly” is held, some students show little interest. Some have been known to fall asleep, or to draw pic¬ tures, during these particular assemblies. This is lack of school spirit. Everyone in the school should help to make “pep as¬ semblies” a success. If the whole school would take active interest in its activities, and everyone would cooperate by helping in some way, I ' m sure we would have better school spirit, and, as a result, a better school! T. Doyle, ' 41. 4-H CLUB WORK Most of the pupils take 4-H Club work because of the quarter of a credit they re¬ ceive. I am sure that they do not realize the underlying help they get out of club work. These underlying factors are two¬ fold. First—Leadership; secondly—the spirit of cooperation. First, let us take the subject of leader¬ ship. The clubs are mostly conducted by the members themselves. They elect their own officers and the meetings are in their own hands. The president learns how to conduct a meeting under tho rules of Par¬ liamentary Law, and the members learn 26 !the four corners how to conduct themselves at one of these meetings. The secretary lias to send the report of the meetings to the County Chib Agent. The secretaries themselves learn how to keep a report and how to express themselves in a business-like fashion. At Scarboro High, the faculty encourages student leaders. They learn how to guide a group of younger persons and what methods are most effective in doing this work. Secondly, we have the spirit of coopera¬ tion. In club work there are certain re¬ quirements the club members and the clubs have to meet. To meet these requirements the club members must work together, thus they got in the habit of working as a group. Of course, there are some special re¬ quirements the club members must do for themselves, such as keeping a record of the project they are enrolled in and pre¬ paring an exhibit and writing a story of their season ' s work, thus making them think for themselves. T believe that there is no other or better way of preparing future citizens of our nation than through 4-H club work. Warren Ewing, 40. A VISIT TO THE WORLD’S FAIR WITH Hit. Willard R. Higgins Spring is in the air and once again the topic of travel enters every conversation. Because Europe is at war, and the seas are unsafe, the choice of many is to sec Amer¬ ica. To see America, one must see Hew York, and if New York, naturally the World’s Fair. I was possessed of an urge to learn more about this Fair, so I decided to interview Mr. Willard R. Higgins, an able teacher at Scarboro High School. Mr. Higgins visited the Fair last fall. He told me that he left Scarboro on the eight o’clock bus on Friday, September twenty-ninth, and arrived in New York at nine-thirty, the following morning. He secured lodgings at a reasonable distance from the Fairgrounds. Here lie removed the traces of his journey, and in a short time he was ready to take the subway for his long-anticipated “NEW YORK WORLD’S FAIR TOUR.” When he first entered the grounds, Mr. Higgins told me, he spent quite some time in “just plain looking”, the whole scheme of construction, color and lighting being more elaborate than he had ever dreamed of. After the general observation, he visited the following: The Chrysler Building, where all of the fascinating processes in the manufac¬ ture of automobiles are shown. The Try Ion and Peri sphere. The entrance to the Peri sphere is one hundred feet up in the Trylon. This Peri sphere is a miniature world of tomorrow. As you view it, you get the impression of floating through space. The American Telephone and Telegraph Exhibit. Here Mr. Higgins had his voice recorded. He also witnessed the drawing of free tickets for a telephone call. The Scientific Exhibition, featured by the glass exhibit. The Western Electric Exhibit. Here the famous Time Capsule is placed. In the General Electric display, the arti¬ ficial lighting was magnificent. The Model Railroad Exhibit covered an acre of ground. The Railroads on Parade were for the benefit of those who have model railroads for their hobby. About seven o’clock that evening, Mr. Higgins visited Billy Rose’s Acqua- cade. Here he saw Johnny Weiss¬ muller and Eleanor Holm perform. The lighting effects were beautiful. 28 TBE FOUR CORNERS Sunday, it rained but that didn ' t pre¬ vent our teacher from returning to the Fair grounds. He visited the foreign ex- hibits. The Italian exhibit was Art and Science. The Russian exhibit was mostly propaganda. He was much impressed by those sections representing Norway, Sweden, Iceland. Australia. Great Britain, Finland and Japan. China had no exhi bit. He also visited the Television exhibit, the Aviation Building, and the Marine Trans¬ portation Building, the latter being in the shape of a ship ' s prow. A part of the General Motors exhibit was The Streets of Tomorrow. It dis¬ played overhead and underground street travel. He didn ' t see the famous Futu¬ rama. Maine’s exhibit, he says, was the best of all of the States. The scene was of ani¬ mals around a lake full of fish. In the background was a rocky sea-coast line with high white breakers. Many souvenirs were sold on the Fair¬ grounds, but they were very expensive. Liggett’s Drug Stores had similar and bet¬ ter souvenirs at much less cost. Bus tours, continued Mr. Higgins, were ten cents. Each bus held over one hundred and twenty occupants. The small tractor trains were blue and orange. They had horns which continually sang, “The Side¬ walk s of New York.” On Sunday night a very tired but pleased teacher returned to Scarboro. Mr. Higgins said that it would take a good seven days to see everything. He also advises anyone to visit the Fair if they possibly can, for it is certainly worthwhile. Selma Cohen. ’40. MID-DAY DISCUSSIONS OR “CHATTER BOX” Scarboro High School is a small school in the “A” division of the State of Maine schools. It holds within its red brick walls about one hundred and thirty members of what tries to be an educational institution; at least the members of the faculty try hard to make it so. The daily routine at Scarboro High School is much the same as that of any other school. The days are divided into periods and each period five or six classes sit in wonderment at how the teacher can remember so much stuff that seems worth¬ less to them; and, like other schools, Scar¬ boro High takes time off around mid-day for lunch. The boys, with a gentlemanly instinct, take their lunch in the gymnasium and leave the main floor for the girls. I say the hoys eat in the gym (hut please let me correct myself) wliat I really mean is, that most of them eat there. There are a few of the boys, however, who object to the crowded benches and heavy traffic of the crowded recreation room. These few take refuge during the fair months of Spring and Fall in cars parked behind the build- ing, and during the cold months of Win¬ ter, they congregate in the “boiler room”. THE FOUR CORNERS 29 Here thev can talk and eat in peace, and how they do talk! But why listen to me tell about these overheated conversations? It is getting near noon time, so let’s go down to the “boiler room” and see this group as they show up; let ' s listen to their silly chatter and dry jokes. By the time we reach the foot of the stairs, the second bell will ring, and then things will start to happen. So follow me. It is now five minutes to twelve. The last bell has rung, and it is time for din¬ ner at Scnrboro II igh School. As we stand by the “boiler room” door, a sudden thun¬ der of feet is heard as a hundred and fifty or so shoes pound their way down the stairs and turn almost as if on a track to the right and into the gym. But wait! One pair of shoes have been derailed. No! They aren’t lost. They are going into the “boiler room”. It seems funny that such a small pair should choose to break the line but as we look up we see why. The owner of these is none other than John Snow. Oh! Wasn’t he lucky to heat Billy Littlejohn to that comfortable chair with the burlap cushions. Yes, John beat Littlejohn to the chair, but not by much. With a sudden lurch the door flies open again and after a reason¬ able amount, of cussing and swearing, a disgusted Billy sits in the hard-seated chair next to John and commences on his first sandwich. Next comes Paul Sullivan, much bigger than the two previous, and Clarence Ahlquist half way between, and yours truly just half way. Often we have a casual visitor or permit me to say “Guest” such as the Honorable Warren Ewing or Richard Royal, Martin Michelson, or some other recognized member of the student body. After all, the members of the congrega¬ tion seem to have arrived, as the conversa¬ tion now starts in earnest; usually some¬ thing like this: “My father says we might get a new Chevy truck.” Snow’s head turns, “Don’t your father know better than to waste his money on Chevy’s yet, Littlejohn?” “I suppose he should get a Ford and throw his money away?” “He’ll pay enough for repairs on a Chevy to buy two Fords.” “Yes, and he’d burn enough oil in them two Fords to buy a dozen Chevy’s.” Suddenly John turns and looks at Paul Sullivan who has been leaning on the side of the boiler, “What do you say, Paul, which is the best car, a Ford, or a Chevy ?” “Huh? Oh, it don’t make much differ¬ ence ; I like a Buick myself.” “Well, what about you, Ahlquist?” “I’ll take a train.” “Well, you like Fords, don’t you, Gower ?” “I’m walking.” “Some pals! If I was dying of thirst not one of you would give me a handful of snow.” The conversation revolves much the same as this over every subject and every available topie ; from colleges to Federal 30 THE FOUR CORNERS prisons,, from ' health resorts to insane asylums and of course to the situation in Europe. This usually takes up about ten minutes of the available time. Yes, many a topic is discussed but none is agreed upon except the fact that history and grammar are a waste of time. Look what’s coming in the door! It’s the always-late member of the discussion group, Dana Plummer. And what’s in his hand? If it isn’t—ves, it is; it’s an ice cream. Paul Sullivan suddenly speaks, “Always coming in here and teasing us with an ice cream. If I had the money you’ve got, I’d eat ice cream, too.” “Don’t that ice cream look good?” “I bet it would taste good, too, if I had some.” “Aw! Come on let’s have some of it, Danie.” Danie, in a half-disgusted manner, turns and walks from the room, and Ahlquist follows him. This begins the emptying of the “boiler room” and within five minutes all the “boiler rooni” members are present in the main room and another mid-dav discussion is over. We were very glad to have you with us today and we’re sorry we couldn’t give you free dishes or a chance on a Bingo game, but we are not used to entertaining and we are very unrehearsed in our “edi- quctte” for company. However, we do hope you will see your way clear to drop in again sometime. STUDENT PILOT A low hum which gradually grew into a roar, shattered the stillness of the quiet air over Randolph Field. The roar came from a tiny speck which grew to a small silver monoplane, a plane which belonged to a student at Randolph Field and which should not bo stunting. Fn the cockpit of this plane was a young attractive Bobby James, a student (female) pilot. Bobby set her plane down in a perfect three-point landing and glided to a stop in front of the hangar. When Bobby laugh¬ ingly jumped from the cockpit, she came face to face with her handsome instructor, Bill Steward. “Miss James”, he shouted. “Yes, Mr. Steward,” came the reply. “How many times must you be warned not to stunt on practice flights?” Know¬ ing he was right, Bobby hung her head and studied the toe of her tiny shoe. “Be¬ cause you have deliberately disobeyed me, your privileges will be discontinued and —” “You mean I won ' t be able to go to the dance tonight? ' ’ tearfully interrupted Bobby. “That ' s just what I mean,” came from the instructor who turned and walked away leaving a very disappointed girl behind. Still clad in her flying suit, Bobby lay face down on her bed. She had been cry¬ ing, and now she lay trying to think. Her friends had just left for the dance and none of their pitying remarks were com¬ forting. Bobby slowly rose from her bed and, after running a comb through her hair, left the room. M. L. Gowek, ’40. THE FOUR CORNERS 31 The air outside was crisp, and a soft breeze was blowing. Slowly Hobbv walked down the path through the nearby shrub¬ bery to a small wooden bridge. From here she could see the lights of the club bouse where the dance was in full progress. She could hear the faint strains of “Stardust” as she stood there. A soft rustle in the bushes nearby made her start. She quickly stepped off the bridge into the shadow of a nearby tree as her handsome instructor came in view. She recognized him as lie applied a match to the pipe in his month. Following at. his heels was Spot, a mongrel dog. The pup ran to the nearby tree and began to bark playfully. “What’s the matter, Spot, do you see something?” asked Bill Stew¬ ard as he came toward the tree. Just then the moon came out from behind a cloud and in its light the instructor saw the tear-stained face of the student. “Oh, it’s you, Bobby.” The student nodded and turned to go back up the path. “Please wait, Bobby, I want to apologize” he said as he took her arm and led her back to the bridge. “You needn’t apologize. I realize it was my fault” softly spoke the student. Just then the Strauss waltz, “Tales of Vienna Woods,” came to the couple on the bridge. Bobby sadly looked down at the club house. “Dance with me, Bobby?” softly asked the man. Bobby nodded and they silently danced until the music ceased. Then the girl quickly stepped away and ran hastily up the path to the dormitory. Back in her room she again threw herself on her hod and again burst into tears. ]STcxt morning at breakfast all the girls were talking about the dance. Bobby si¬ lently ate her breakfast and hastily walked to the nearest exit. It was raining and a heavy fog was hugging the buildings. She slowly made her way to the hangar and headed straight for her plane. She climbed into the cockpit and proceeded to stare aimlessly at the controls. Feeling a hand on her shoulder, she turned sharply and felt, ns well as saw, Bill Steward standing there. “Bobby, I want to talk to you,” pleaded the instructor. At this moment the rest of the girls entered. “Please let me take you for a ride tonight,” asked Bill in an appealing tone. Bobby’s heart began to beat faster, and she knew that the other girls were watching her. She was thinking of the dance of the previous evening and she knew she was in love with her instructor. “Why hide it?” she was thinking, “I won’t be here much longer now. My course is completed.” Bobby nodded her head and proceeded to stare at the controls. Then, because the girls needed practice in flying in foggy weather, the hangar doors were opened and the planes were pushed out upon the field. The sound of warming engines filled the air. The drizzle had stopped; but the fog did npt lift. 32 THE FOUR CORNERS Once again a happy look came over Bobby ' s face and a smile caressed her lips. She silently admitted that she was more afraid of her heart than she was of the wind and fog. That afternoon, the sun came out and the fog lifted. On the field the students were lazily polishing their planes and were still talking about the previous evening. Then the mascot ran from Steward ' s car to Bobby who was sitting on the ground polishing the wheels of her plane. As the dog put his cold nose against the back of her neck, Bobby burst into laughter and rolled on the ground with him. At the right of the laughing girl Bill ' s heart did a ' ‘flip flop.” “Gee,” he thought, “she’s adorable.” That evening, Bobby carefully dressed in her smartest suit and trickiest liat. At eight-thirty, she silently sneaked out of the dorm and down into Bill’s convertible coupe. The stars were shining and the tip of the moon was seen on the eastern hori¬ zon. On the radio in the car, Glenn Miller was playing, “Indian Summer”, and Bobby was softly humming it. “You’re not angry at me are you, Bobbv ?” interrupted the instructor. “You know I’m not,” came the reply. “Then let’s shake on it,” he said, offering his hand. Bobby took the extended hand. “Shake,” Bobby took the extended hand. “Shake”, she said. Exactly three weeks later, on another clear day, the air was again shattered by a roar. And again the cause was from a small silver monoplane piloted by Bobby James. As she landed the plane she was again approached by her instructor. This time, instead of scolding her, he pulled her by the arm into his office. “Say, where’s the fire?’’ asked Bobby. “No fire ' ’, came the answer, “just another dance tonight, and I want you to be my personal guest. How about it?” That night, a very happy Bobby, dressed in the smartest fashion and look¬ ing sweeter than ever, said “Yes ' ’, when her handsome instructor proposed. Yes, lie proposed. Proposed that they fly to Fort Worth and meet his family and then at¬ tend the preview of Walt Disney’s famous Piniiochio. Selma Con ex, ’40. SO MANY THINGS CAN HAPPEN IN AUGUST This was the happiest day that Sally ever witnessed in all her twenty-three years. Oh, how she loved everything! Everyone saying goodbyes and she prom- is ; ng to write every day. Suddenly, “All aboard,” “Lower the gang plank.” “Now, Sally, be careful, dear, and write often,” said Sally’s mother with tears in her eyes. “Yes, mother, now don’t worry. Goodbye.” They were moving. It was really true. She was really on her way to England. The dream of her life time. THE FOUR CORNERS 33 After waving until the pier faded from view, she went to her cabin. Flowers! Telegrams! Oh, what a glorious time she was going to have. Taking oft ' her hat, she started arranging her flowers and reading her telegrams. The first telegram that she found was from Kit. ‘‘.Meet you in London, Wednes¬ day. All my love. Kit.” All mv love. There was no one else in the whole world besides Kit for her. When Sally had finished getting her things arranged, she started out on deck. Oh, weren’t tilings just like a dream. The boat with movies, dancing and people just lounging around with not a care in the world. But how quickly time passed,—swim¬ ming, dancing. In one more day they would be in London. It didn’t seem as though she had been gone a day and here it was the fifth since sailing. She would be so glad to see Kit. They were to be mar¬ ried in April. Wednesday morning came. The boat was to dock at ten o’clock, and it was eight now. She would have to hurry and get her things packed. She was to stay at the Copenhagen Hotel. She would send her bags ahead. Then it came! The boat was docking. After taking care of her bags, she went out on deck. People were waiting to be met by friends. Everyone was excited. She looked everywhere for Kit, but she couldn’t see him. But then, there were so many people that she probably couldn’t sec him, anyway. They lowered the gang plank. She went to her cabin for one last look to make sure she hadn’t forgotten anything. Then she went off the boat. But where was Kit ? Well, slic’d wait first a few min¬ utes to see if he came. She knew lie was coming. Probably for some reason he had been delayed. After waiting a little while she saw a messenger coming. She listened. “Hiss Sally Sprague,” “Telegram for Miss Sally Sprague.” Why! He was calling her name. What could he want? She called to him and after paying, quickly tore open the telegram. “Dear Sail, terribly sorry, but simply couldn’t get to London to meet you. Will have to remain in Manchester for two days more. Will come to London on Friday.” signed Kit. How what was she, alone in London, to do these two days. Well, she could go to her hotel. She got a taxi which took her there in no time. After registering, she unpacked her bags and then decided to take a walk. While going through the corridor of the hotel, she overheard a man talking about tours through London. So she decided that she might just as well spend her two days waiting for Kit by touring London, rather than by sitting in the hotel. The tour was to start at 8.30 the next morning. Sally got up early so as to be sure not to miss the bus. 34 TEE POOR CORNERS The first place that they visited, was a museum. The guards explained all the while to the people about the many large and beautiful pictures and pieces of sculp¬ ture. After the museum they went to what was an old palace. There was a young man standing at the doorway. As the people got out of the bus, the conductor announced that Mr. David White would take them through the palace. They went from room to room, looking at famous paintings, furniture and pic¬ tures. Just as they were about to leave, the guard said that if anyone wanted to see the beautiful garden he would be at their service. Sally thought she might as well see everything that was going on, so she and a few others went to the gardens. While the other people were looking around, the conductor came towards her. He talked with her about the gardens and after talk¬ ing awhile he told her his name. He asked her where she was from and if she was on a visit or lived in London. Finallv he asked Sally if she would have dinner with him that night. At first Sally did not know whether she should or not. Then she decided that she might just, as well as long as Kit wasn’t coming until the day after tomorrow. That night they went to dinner and then to the theatre. Sally went home very happy. Dave was really quite a nice fellow. The next day, she went on the next tour and somehow (Sally didn ' t, know quite how), Dave got himself transferred. He was with Sally practically all day. That night as they returned from the tour, Kit was waiting at the hotel and Sally was so glad to see him. lie told her of a nice place they could go to have din¬ ner that night. Hut the thing that pleased her most was that Kit could have a week ' s vacation and could spend it in London. She went up to her room to get ready. While she was dressing, her phone rang. It was Dave, “Oh, siie was so sorry, but she must go to dinner with lvit- ?? They went to a little Swedish restaurant, with Swiss costumes and singing. Just as they were beginning to enjoy themselves and their dinner a telegram came for Kit. ‘ ' Re¬ turn immediately to Manchester. Big fire at factory.” That would have to happen! Just as he was getting ready for a nice vacation, too. Well it couldn’t be helped, he thought. “Oh, but Kit,” Sally said, “Do you have to go, and we were going to have such a swell time this vacation? Now we can’t go to the Bukshire Steeple Chase that we’ve been looking forward to for so long.” “I’ll tell you what, Sally, Dll go to Man¬ chester, do what I can, then I’ll come back and finish my vacation.” So Kit left that night for Manchester. The next day, Sally got a letter telling how bad the fire was. However, Kit said that he probably could come back in about two weeks. He told her how everyone was just about frantic. The whole factory was ruined, and all the research work that Blit had been working on was burned. TEE FOUR CORNERS 35 After reading: the letter, Sally decided to go for a walk. She walked for about two miles and by the time that she re¬ turned it was nearly lunch time. After lunch, as she was sitting out on the lawn, she saw a familiar-looking figure coming toward her. It was Dave. “Hello, Sally, hoped L’d find von in.” Dave sat clown and talked with her for awhile, then he asked her if she would have dinner with him. Well, she shouldn’t, but then she knew that Kit wouldn’t mind. So that night they went to dinner together again. She did not see Dave the next day, but after that she saw him practically every day and two weeks passed very quickly. She had received a letter from Kit which said he would have to stay a couple of weeks more. But this time she didn’t mind. Tt seemed as though she liked Dave’s company as well as Kit’s. Before the month of August was over, Kit Small had passed from the picture in Sally’s life and the one dominant figure in it now was Dave. Kit never came back. “Absence makes the heart grow fonder —of the other fellow.” Isabel Harmon, ’41. 36 THE POUR CORNERS SEEDS FOR THOUGHT The rich, brown soil was moist and wet Where the farmer had plowed that day; ’Twas spring, and all the world rejoiced In the glad bright sun of May. High above, then flew a bird, In his bill, a tiny seed, And as he passed, it dropped to earth Unnoticed. He paid no heed. But spring went by, and summer’s sun Warmed and nourished that seed; It grew and burst its little shell. And, growing, became a weed. The farmer saw that little weed, But thought, ‘There is just one”; So on he passed. And how they laughed, Both the weed and the bright, hot sun. The days flew on, and summer passed; The time for harvest came; The farmer saw an astonishing sight — He had more weeds than grain. And so it is on the road of life: A word dropped here and there, A careless speech or thoughtless deed Can grow most anywhere. And as they grow, they hurt our friends And loved ones most of all; So let us try to give our best In things both large and small. S. Mills, 5 42. AND THEY LIVED HAPPY EVER AFTER The scene of this story is laid in a small town outside the city of Chicago. Here lives a mother and her only son. This boy’s name was Stephen and he was fif¬ teen. years old. Stephen’s father died when he was only ten, and left them with a good-sized yearly income. Steph had nearly all he wanted and he had always been to a private school. THE FOUR CORNERS 37 Steph was about five feet seven and one- half inches tail, light hair, blue eyes, good complexion and quite good-looking. One night about a week before school was to begin, Stephen’s mother told him that he was to go to a public high school. During Stephen’s Freshman and Sopho¬ more years the bovs tried to persuade him to go out for basketball, but Steph was afraid to play because lie might get hurt. When he had started his Junior year, he became interested in a girl mimed Sylvia. When basketball season came, Sylvia asked him why lie didn’t go out for it. He couldn’t think of any excuse to give her, so nothing was left to do but to go out for basketball. ITc made the second team. One afternoon the second team played another school, Steph was playing as a regular on the second team at this time. After the game, everyone was sayin g how scared Steph acted; as though he was afraid he might got hurt. Sylvia also noticed this, but she didn’t say anything about it to him until one night when he took her to a school dance. At intermission lie was talking to an¬ other girl named Joan. When the music started lie was still talking to her. Sylvia didn’t like this so she went to him and gave him a hint that he dance with lier. He said, “I haven’t finished my ice cream yet, but I’ll dance the next one with you.” This made her angry so she said, “I know you want to dance with Joan so go ahead. You are a coward anyway. Yon are afraid to get in and fight in a basketball game, because you are afraid of getting hurt. Go ahead and dance with Joan. I don’t care. I can find other boys beside you.” She turned around and walked to where her other friends were sitting. She danced with several other boys all evening. This hurt Steph’s feelings very much. That night, before lie went to sleep, he thought to himself, “Waybe she’s right, I’ll show her I ' m no coward. I’ll make the first team if it kills me.” He didn’t sleep well that night. Every day after that he avoided her and they didn’t speak. In¬ stead lie paid strict attention to basketball. In one and one-half months, he had improved so that he was moved on to the first team as a substitute. Two weeks later they were to play one of the toughest games of the season. That night word was sent to the coach that Bob, another sub, who played center, was very ill. That left only Steph as a substitute. It was Stcpli’s first big game. The re was a large crowd in the bleachers that night waiting patiently for the game to start. After awhile the team came on the floor. The crowd roared, and the cheer leaders started setting-up the team. After the boys practiced awhile, the whistle blew and the game began. At the end of the half, the score was 10-12 in favor of the other team. At the end of the third quar¬ ter, the score was 12-14, still in the favor of the other side. After they had started the fourth quarter, Smith was hurt. This meant Steph would go in. How was his chance. There were two minutes left to play. Steph got the ball in the center and shot. The ball went in. The whistle blew. Sylvia was in the audience and was aston¬ ished at the way Steph was playing. The whole crowd were on their feet yelling. The score was a tie. There would have to be a Sudden Death. The ball was tossed up in the center. Steph got it. He shot from the center. The 38 THE FOUR CORNERS ball rolled around the rim and then fell off, not into the basket. Stoph was ready for the rebound, he got the ball again and this l ine the ball stayed in. Just before that he had heard Sylvia ' s voice from the audience: “Stepli, get that ball and make a basket! This was what gave him cour¬ age 1 . They were the winners. All the boys ran to Stepli and congratulated him. After Stepli had taken a shower and dressed, ho went out the back door to his car. When he got there, who should be waiting for li ' m but Sylvia.

HteVii ‘ Hill, and “Mickey Ynuw ' iu They hail met the afternoon Ih - fore in Tubby ' s back yard, with all the essentials for a week ' s camping trip in the “Old Tavern Pass”, fifteen miles north of their town of Littleton, New Hampshire. Their parents had consented to this camp¬ ing trip as a reward for excellent Hoy Scout service. Tubby ' s father had taken them nine miles by ear, and they had walked the remaining six to their present camp site. Hero they had pitched their pup-tents ami had spent the night, awaken¬ ing at the first sign of dawn to view the u n forget able sunrise just described. With the passing of the sunrise, came a mad rush to wash in the little stream near the earn]) and to devour a real outdoor man ' s breakfast! The dishes were then hurriedly washed and things were tidied up liecause the boys wove eager fo sot about the real purpose of their camping trip. Mickey had boon in this part of the mountains before, and it was then that lie heard the story of the “Old Tavern”. This tavern, about two miles from their camp, was well known, lmt no one ever went near the old crumbling and decaying structure, except an occasionally curious person. The legend connected with the tavern was very well known to the older people in that vicinity, many of whom had searched in vain for tin treasure that was supposed to have been buried there. According to the old story, the tavern was a lmlf-way stopping place on an old stage line between Canada and New Eng¬ land. The road had long since grown up to hurdie and the tavern itself was slowlv r«iffinir awnv, The treasure mentioned wh . supposedly, ten leather hags of gold piece and jewels that had boon stolen TIIE FOUR CORNERS 39 from a wealthy fur merchant, while he was stopping overnight at the tavern. Upon waking in the morning, lie had discovered that his wealth had been stolen. Because the innkeeper was unable to tell him any¬ thing of the theft, the traveler, in a rage, had killed the innocent innkeeper, his wife and two small children, and then had driven off toward Canada. Several miles from the tavern the merchant, was sup¬ posed to have perished in a landslide. The four hoys had great expectations of finding this legendary treasure that so many had failed to find; so it was with joyous shouting that they set out from camp for the tavern. “Come on you boys,” shouted Bill, “You’re like a bunch of caterpillars, you’re so slow. If we’re going to get there in time to do any searching at all, you’ve got to do better than you are now.” “Whcwwwwwww!” gasped Tubby, “Climbing through these bushes ain’t no fun when you’ve got a knapsack on your back.” Mickey ran up ahead and around a clump of bushes. He came back yelling at the top of bis lungs, “Here it. is! Here it is! Right over here. Oh, boy! Hurry up.” The tavern was a huge old structure of large roughly hewn logs. Its roof bad partly caved in, and the old wagon shed had long since collapsed. Five large oak trees seemed to wearily support millions of leaves that shaded the building. Some kind of vine had grown crazily over the structure, and the walls and roof were clotted with patches of dark green moss, giving the antique building the every char¬ acteristic of a ghostly house gr ft dark tomb, The boys approached the building and peered in at the windows, only to find com¬ plete darkness. So they went around to the door and carefully opened it, or rather dragged it open, as it had fallen from hinges many years before. The open door revealed a dark and musty interior. “Ouch!” Tubby said, “Something hit me in the head.” “Aww, you’re crazy,” said Stevie, “Th- th-th-t.h-there’s n-n-n-noth-nothing in th-th- there.” “Don’t tell me you guys are scared of a little bat,” laughed Bill. “Well, it gave me a scare for a minute,” sighed Tubby. When a flashlight was turned on and one of the windows unbarred, the light re¬ vealed a large room with an extra large fireplace in one end. A very ancient and heavy table, covered with dust, stood in the center of the room, probably the kitchen. This room was quite barren. The upper floor could be reached by a rickety old staircase. “Say,” said Mickey, “Do you notice anything funny about this place?” “No,” said Bill, “What is it?” “Well, for one thing, there seems to be some freshly exit wood near the fireplace, and although that table’s got dust on it in several places, the dust is brushed off.” “Hey, and the floor hasn’t as much dust on it as it should have, and the dust has a lot of footmarks in it that aren’t ours,” said Tubby. After much discussion, the boys decided that probably not long ago, someone had stopped there on a hunting trip and had stayed overnight. This brought on the idea that they thej elyes might stay there 40 THE FOUR CORNERS while they were searching for the treasure. Right outside was a small brook and a three-foot high waterfall, making a fair¬ sized pool in which the boys could wash, swim and get drinking water. It took some time for them to convince Tubby, but he finally agreed to try the plan for one night. It was then decided that Hickey and Bill should go back to their camp to get all their camping equipment, and any sup¬ plies that Mr. Hill might bring that day. Tubby and Stevie were to clean up the place as best they could while their friends were away. They started at once. Their energy was remarkable during the first half hour, hut, as the work ceased to be fun, they began to tire. Tubby sat down on the bottom step of the staircase and wiped the perspiration from his forehead. “They ought to be getting back pretty soon,” be panted. “Well, it’s quite a wavs to carry all that stuff,” said Stevie, “but they ' ve had long enough to get there and back.” Tubby got up and walked around the room. “Fve got a feeling that we 7 re being watched,” he said. “Aww, you’re just imag—hey, come here. See that ring in the floor ? It must be a tr£p door. Here help me lift it up.” “Geee, what do you suppose is down there? Give me vour light and follow me down. There’s some stairs here.” Cautiously, they picked their way down a flight of squeaking stairs, carefully test¬ ing each step. “Gee, this is spooky,” whispered Tubby, as he reached the big flat stone on which the staircase seemed to rest. “Listen,” said Stevie. As if this were a signal, there was a creak of rusty hinges overhead, a loud slam followed by the thud of a bolt being shoved into place, and they were prisoners. “It must be Bill and Mickey,” faltered Stevie after the first fright was over. “Iley, you bums,” he shouted, “Can’t you think of a better joke ?” The only answer was an insane laugh followed by a scuffing of feet overhead and the slamming of a door. “What are wo going to do now,” gulped Tubby. Stevie went up the stairs and tried the door. “It. won’t budge ’ he said, “lie ' s got us trapped whoever he is.” lie came down and flashed his light around. The cellar faded a wav into the gloom on all sides. From the ceiling hung festoons of cobwebs. The walls were built of rough field stone, and the light from the flash¬ light showed no sign of a window or a door leading outside. In only one place did there seem to 1m? any hope for the hoys: about ten feet from the foot of the stairs, the cellar wall had bulged inward and a few dislodged rocks lay on the floor. Both boys seemed to get the same idea at the same time. As if in one voice, they both said, “We’ll have to tunnel ourselves out.” “Put the flashlight on the stairs,” said Tubby. “Perhaps it will last.” They went to work. The dust choked them, the rocks were heavy and it was slow work scooping out the dirt with their bare hands. Nevertheless they soon had a hole under the old rotten sill. Being the smaller, Stevie squeezed his shoulders through, loosening the dirt behind the wall and pushing it back to Tubby. Farther TEE FOUR CORNERS 41 and farther in squirmed Stevie. Now only his feet were showing. “Be careful,” warned Tubby, “don’t get buried alive.” “0. X.,” came the muffled reply, and the feet disappeared. A cloud of dust struck Tubby in the face. “Help! Help!” lie shouted, “Stevie’s killed.” “Where are you ?” answered a man’s voice above the trap door. “Down here in the cellar,” screamed the frightened boy. “Open the trap.” There was the rasp of a bolt and Mickey, Bill and Mr. Hill fairly tumbled down the stairs. “Where’s Stevie?” asked Mr. Hill. “In-in t-there,” stuttered Tubbv point¬ ing at the hole from which a thin stream of dust was coming. “Stevie, Stevie,” shouted Mr. Hill, “Are you hurt ?” And then a strange thing happened. For through the hole in the wall came first the hands, and then the dust-streaked face of Stevie. His fists were closed—one on a pearl necklace and the other on what later turned out to be gold coins. Gerald McElwain, ’41. J i I i r ! THE FOUR CORNERS 43 We Have With Us . . .

Among this group of young people there was a certain young lady in the Senior class, who, being very tired from her strenuous skating, and also very cold, came to the bench near the fire to rest and get warm. She sat there just a few minutes and then a male classmate came along and asked her to skate. She accepted the in¬ vitation. About ten o ' clock, almost, everyone had gone home and only a small group re¬ mained. They had had enough skating and h ad decided to go home. They went to the bench, took their skates off, put their shoes on and made ready to start when they discovered that one of the party was missing—a young lady. All they could find that belonged to her was her shoes lonesomely perched on the bench. Where could she have gone? She must be alone for no other shoes could be found. At once, everyone thought she had fallen through the ice at some dark corner of the pond, or she might be hurt and could not get back to the bench. One of the boys made believe he was Sherlock Holmes and started looking for clues that might lead them to her where¬ abouts. But alas! the ice yielded neither footprints nor fingerprints. Then all started shouting until they were hoarse, and could hardly speak, but to no avail. Sherlock got down on his bands and knees and pretended that he was a bloodhound. Someone then suggested they go to the house across the street, to see if a certain male had arrived home, but this idea was finally discarded. The five east weird shadows around. The tension grew. Imagination ran wild, and suddenly they were in total darkness. Everyone jumped for the tire burned out. Someone screamed. Finally, just as some of the older boys had decided to go for outside help, from the very far end of the pond a shadow appeared. Slowly it came nearer and nearer. Then it became two skaters. At last, the case of the missing owner of the shoes was solved, also the reason why no one could find the young gentleman ' s shoes. It was simple enough. He had put his skates on at home, which was just across the street, and had walked over to the pond. Xow at all skating parties, a close watch is kept over the two, whether they like it or not.

Of the six races run, two were at home (Old Orchard and Wells) and four away (Gorham Normal, twice. Bates Freshmen and Old Orchard, once each). The first race of the season was with Old Orchard. Scarboro was defeated by a score of 24-81, despite the fact that Withcc finished first to earn his letter and Jones finished third. Searboro’s second run was with the Gor¬ ham Normal Jayvees and proved to he the closest of the season, Gorham winning 27- 2S. Jones and Witliee finished second and third, respectively. The next meet was our second with Old Orchard. Again we were defeated though Witliee and Jones tied for first position. Our second race with Gorham Normal proved to be our first victory, 2G-31. Witliee finishing second; Jones, fourth; Sewell, fifth; Cott, seventh; and E. Klasc, eighth, were our scorers for the run. Wc received our greatest defeat of the season when the team braved a st.orm to race the strong Bates Freshman team. We lost 18-14. Our leaders again were Witliee, third and Jones, eighth. The final run of the season was with Wells on our home 00111 30 and wc were again defeated 22-36. Withee, second and Jones, fourth, led the Scarboro boys home. Three boys won letters this year: “Sam” Jones, 40; George Pooler, ’40; and “Ev” Withee, ’42. Other members of the squad were: “Bill” Cott, Forrest Pooler, Dwight For the second time within three years, 1 110 Scarhoro girls ' track ream walked off with the championship crown, at the Triple C outdoor track meet held at flic Exposition field on Friday, May 26, 1U3S). Wo had the following girls entered : Mary Newcomb, ’3!); Gertrude Perry, ' 40: Isa¬ belle Harmon, ’41; Ethel Christenson, Ml; Clara Horsey, Ml; Hazel Varney, M2; and Patricia Stevens, M2. Scarhoro came through to the top with a total of 24 points, placing in every event and winning first place in 4 out of 6 events. This was due to a remarkable per¬ formance shown by “Gertie ' ’ Perry in taking three of the first, places, thereby scoring 15 of the 24 points. North Yarmouth came in second with a total of 14 points, Falmouth, 13, and Pennell, 3.

Wimi¬ ll am High’s mermen captured the title and well deserved it. Scarboro failed to score this year although there were many can¬ didates out for the team. However, many of these were underclassmen and we hope for better results in the future. Our team consisted of the following men; Hill Oott, MO; “Tod Glover, ’40: G. Pooler. 40; F. Poolei , Ml; Wit lice, M2; I). Witham, 43; E. Klase, 43; and E. Klase, ’43. GIRLS ' SWIMMING The Ninth Annual Triple C Girls ' Swimming Meet was held at the Y. M. C. A. on October 10, 1030. Our entrants were as follows; Gertrude Perry, MO: Virginia Nelson. ’42; Caroline Cunning¬ ham, ’42; Wanda Varney, ' 40; and Marguerite Skillings, 42. The girls did well but they were over¬ powered by a strong Falmouth loam, which won the meet with a total of twenty-one points. RIFLE Scamman was high man in the Triple The Tenth Annual Triple C Rifle Meet C Meet with a score of 80. L. Higgins was held as usual at the Portland Y. M. an( ] Delaware also did well with scores of C. A. Scarboro had a very strong team 2 this year, winning second place with a score of 225, the second highest score in Scarboro’s history. A big factor in the success of the team was undoubtedly due to the great enthusi¬ asm shown for rifle this year. Twenty- four riflemen reported for practice, an unusually large squad. After constant prac¬ tice, Coach Bessey boiled this group down to the six whom he felt would best repre¬ sent Scarboro. and 73, respectively.

BOYS’ BASKETBALL Scarboro’s basketball team of 1939-40 was not as successful as it lias been in tlic last two years for no team can continue to be on top of the wave all the time. How¬ ever, all games were well played and in¬ teresting to watch. Our losses were prob¬ ably due to our lack of veterans as compared to our opponents. Only two let- termen returned to us this year, but with the experience that our new team lias had during the past season, we look forward to at least a fair team next year. This year’s schedule covered thirteen games and one tournament game. Of the scheduled games, Scarboro won four and lost nine. One of the wins was against the surprisingly powerful Windham High team, winners of the Triple 0 champion¬ ship. Our victory over Windham was the first league game of the season. Scarboro although leading all the way, was hard pressed. Windham tied the ball game in the last period but Scarboro finally pulled through, thanks to the brilliant playing of Dolloff, Plowman and Glover. Scarboro lost two thrilling games to our old rival, Gorham, who was at the bottom of the league with us this year. Both games were much the same, Scarboro lead¬ ing all the way only to lose in the final minutes of play. FRESHMAN “ARROWS” Sitting: R. Grant, E. Jenkins, J. Scamman. G. Knight, D.

I Freshman Team Our second team this year was so small without the addition of Freshmen that we decided to place most of the emphasis on a Freshman squad rather than on the sec¬ ond team to build for another year. They adopted the name of Scarboro’s “Arrows” and played a season of ten games, two of which they won. The Freshmen were for¬ tunate in securing the services of Mr. Cal¬ vin Austin as their coach, who contributed much to their success. Veterans who will be back next year are: F. Pooler, ? 41; C. Pooler, 41; S. Higgins, ’ 41 , Plowman, ’41; Reilly, ’ 42 ; Withee, ’ 42 ; and F. Klase, ’43. Add to this eighteen Freshmen and we should have one of the largest squads in the history of the school for the coming year.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Continuing our policy introduced last year of replacing interscholastic basketball with intramural basketball, we bad a squad of twenty-eight girls report. This type of basketball gave the opportunity of playing and enjoying the game to more girls than formerly. The squad was divided into three teams, Radcliffe, Wheaton, and the Red Hot Pep¬ pers. A circuit of six games was played, each team playing the other teams twice. At the end of the regular number of games, Radcliffe and Wheaton were tied, each ’42; Swinburne, ’43; Winslow, ' 43; Man- team having won three games out of the four and losing to each other. The final playoff took place during a morning as¬ sembly which the whole school attended. The game was closer than the score indi¬ cates. with the Radcliffe girls the win¬ ners. Captain Clara Hersey of the Rad¬ cliffe team was high scorer of the season with 90 points to her credit.

Despite the fact that the newcomers played an excellent game, they went down in defeat to their more experienced rivals. Volley Ball — Boys’ Volley ball is growing in popularity in Scarboro High, an unusual amount of in¬ terest being shown this year. The boys can hardly wait to get down to physical education these days. We believe that vol¬ ley ball should become an intramural sport! How about it? Volley Ball — Girls’ This year the girls enjoyed a compara¬ tively new sport, volley ball. The teams practiced during gym classes in the after¬ noon. Class games were played among the Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen. Isa¬ belle Harmon, Theresa Burnham and Ruth Baizley were the respective captains. The Sophomores won all their games and were declared the “champs”. Interclass Meet in Indoor Track There seems to he more enthusiasm every year over the interclass track meet. There was a quick response to the call for entries this year and we were very much pleased to see that the majority were Freshmen. The Seniors took the meet quite easily, having a lead of 33 points over their nearest rivals, the Freshmen. The final results were: Seniors, 50% points; Freshmen, 17%; Juniors, 15; and Sophomores, 2. Softball Softball was again played as an intra¬ mural sport this year and met with very favorable results. There were about forty boys signed up for the various teams. This sport is becoming popular all over the country for both young and old. Cheer Leaders Our congratulations to the cheer leaders for their excellent work this year in sup¬ porting our basketball team. They were as follows: Warren Ewing, ’40; Betty Milli- ken, ’43; and Theresa Doyle, ’41. The other night I went to a movie. It was warm there and the seats were com¬ fortable. I removed my coat and, of course, my overshoes, sat down and re¬ moved my hat. How comfortable it seemed ! The music told me that the news¬ reel was about to begin; I enjoy newsreels. I settled myself for a pleasant evening. It had been a hard day at school. In addition to my regular work, I had tried in vain to write some appreciations for the Exchange Section of our yearbook. I had been completely discouraged, but that feel¬ ing was fast disappearing. It was so com¬ fortable here! The voice of the commentator was dron¬ ing on, “fires, then floods, then sports,” then, “Here we have a copy of the Ca- duceus from Norway High School.” My attention was drawn to the screen as he went on, “The Caduceus this year is an excellent hook. As we looked through it, ‘Ferdinand the Bull of 39’ seemed a very original idea. “The Rostrum from Guilford High School has a very good poetry section. Sug¬ gest you have all ads in one section. “The Nautilus from West Paris High has a very excellent idea of introducing the different sections.” I began to grow very much interested in what he was saying, lie went oik “The M argent a, Machias High School, has a very interesting book. ‘Gratitude’ (a storv in song) is very amusing. “The Pine Cone , Cornish High School, has a very fine literary department. “The Chronicle from South Paris High has a very original idea of beginning the various sections. “You will find the joke section in The Corona from Bridgton High very amus¬ ing.” I began to relax at this point and started thinking of how I would not have to worry any more about the exchanges. The com¬ mentator went on, “And the next on our list is the Schola from Gorham High School. The book on the whole is very in¬ teresting. It is the first one to be printed by the school in twenty-three years. “The. Clarion from Freeport High has a very interesting account of the history of Freeport and the poems for and against lipstick are very amusing. “The Sunbeam from Hollis High School is a book that is well put together. A little humor is lacking, however. “The Crimson Crier from Orono High School has a very elegant cover. THE FOUR CORNERS 65 “The Green and While from Gorham Normal School is always an excellent book.” The commentator kept on talking. “The hook from Fox croft Academy is very well put together. 77 e Northern Star from lloultoii High School has a very fine literary department. Suggest you have individual pictures of your Seniors ns it will add to your book. 77 e W indonian from Windham High School is nicely arranged except that hav¬ ing all ads in one section would bo better. 77 e Pilot from Mechanic Falls High has a most amusing joke section. 77 e Sedan from ITainpden Academy has a fine story section. Tt would be better if you had some way of introducing the Senior section. “The Ripple from Hartland Academy is a book with a very attractive cover.” He went on, “Time does not permit me to enumerate the excellent points of many other worthwhile yearbooks whose names follow, but we have the word of the Ex¬ change Editor of the Scarboro High Four Corners, that they all were read and ap¬ preciated by the student body of that in¬ stitution.” There they were: Greenville Ililiies — Greenville High School, Greenville, Maine.
