THE SCHOOL LIBRARY This year our school library has had a real revolution take place in it. The librarians, who are pictured above, have worked very conscientiously along with other students of the school and under Mrs. McCaslin's super- vision to classify and completely catalogue the books. By this work being done and the library being arranged in orderly fashion the reading and reference material is much easier to find. We are all grateful to these girls for the work they have done to make our library work easier for us all.

ALUMNI Warren, Maine March 29, 1958 DEAR MINA, The years have rolled by very rapidly since I received my diploma from Searsport High School in June, 1936. After graduation, I attended Maine Central Inst.itute in Pittsfield and was graduated from Bates Col- lege. Later, I did graduate work at the University of Maine. From 1942 until 1952, I was principal of Warren High Schoolg I taught in Rockland High School for two years, and now I am commercial manager at radio Station WRKD in Rockland. One of my most interesting experiences took place last summer and fall. I was hired by Twentieth Century Film Corporation to act as a tech- nical advisor for the movie PEYTON PLACE. We were on location in Maine for three weeks. In June, I went to Hollywood with the company and was there from June until October. My wife and my daughter were with me part of the time. We travelled throughout Southern California and in Mexico, saw all of the high-lights of Los Angeles, and met many famous people. The work was interesting. For example, one day we Were filming in an area covered with two feet of snow-yet the temperature all day was over 95 degrees. We shot night scenes during the daytime, outdoor scenes indoors, and indoor scenes outdoors. When we needed a full-size Maine elm tree, the production department made one out of plastic. Scenes were shot that made certain of the actors or actresses appear to be in Camden. Yet many of these people have never been in Maine. I worked regularly with stars such as Lana Turner, Lloyd Nolan, David Nelson, Terry Moore, Hope Lange, Diana Varsi, Arthur Kennedy, and many others. In addition, quite a few famous actors and actresses who were not in PE-YTON PLACE dropped in to watch the filming. Tglinrny Sands was on hand. Pat Boone dropped in. Each day brought o ers. The biggest event for my daughter, Carolyn, was the day she spent with the Nelson family watching the production of the Ozzie and Harriet Show. Ricky and David made a real hit with her. This is a brief account of the past 22 years since my high school days. I remember often the fine times that we had at Searsport High School- and the excellent work of Mr. Greene, Mrs. McCaslin, and Mrs. Wilson. Searsport High School will always remain dear to the hearts of every graduate. Sincerely, Fred Perkins
