While we cannot hope to attain in literary excellence or in variety of contents anything approaching the papers of the larger schools, yet we wish to show the community and the town that Sedgwick High School is still carry- ing on. lVe again express our thanks to those who have helped us by taking advertising. I 'P I Our school has been somewhat larger this year, the registration for the fall term being thirty-two. The entering class numbers twelve. lVith a small graduating class, a fair-sized Freshman class next year will bring our enrollment up to the normal again. - I if if Mr. Flye continues to serve as prin- cipal, a fact which the students ap- preciate. Our new assistant, Miss Robinson, has become very popular. with the students. SF Pl? Pl? Frrfslnimn Day At the beginning of the yea r, instead of the usual Freshman reception, Freshman Day was observed on Fri- day of the second week.

In addition to the costumes sug- gested in the notice, each Freshman wore a tall green dunce-cap and was decorated with a large green bow. The girls were further decorated with large green bows on the left ankle. Instead of the usual opening exercises, the Freshmen were lined up across the front of the main room, and each one recited a Mother Goose rhyme. The school then sang Jingle Bells heartily. The' Freshmen proved themselves good sports and carried out their part of the program Well. The occasion furnished a day of good fun for all the students. It is hoped to make it an annual custom. Commencement Baccalaureate services will be held in the Baptist church on Sunday morning, June 1. The sermon will be by Rev. Mr. Stover. The school play, Well, Did You Ever? was given at Riverside Hall on Thursday evening, May 15. The graduation exercises will be held at the Baptist church on Thurs- day evening, June 5.

Trudy is a dear, sweet little girl from North Sedg- wick.

Roscoe Albert McCarthy Ross Born November 9, 1913. School play, 2, 3, 43 basketball, 3, 45 salutatory. Although 'he doesn't look it, Ross is the baby of the class. With his winning smile and sweet disposition, he is agreat favorite among the students, especially amonfg the girls. Seniors THE COMET' Rufus Alexander Hagerthy Rip Born December 12, 1912. School play, 43 president, 13 treasurer, 2, 3, 4: grumbler and gifts. Rufus' face and figure would be a valuable addition to any classy we are mighty lglad that ours was the lucky one. He has two outstanding characteristics-he never gets caught doing anything wrong, and he has an un- usual power of concentration. We feel sure the latter will bring him well-deserved success. Cynthia Hooper Cynthia Born May 17, 1913. School play, 43 basketball, 43 secretary, 2, 3, 43 ad- dress to undergraduates. Those who have risen early enough during the pa-st four years may' have seen Cynt-hia on her way to school.

The tumbler contained a few lumps of sugar over which a mixture of glycerine and whiskey had been poured. The sugar gradually melted in the sun, and a strong odor of alco- hol rose from the mixture. This odor and the sunshine must have aroused the wasp from. his winter sleep, for I had seen him Hying about the window shortly after the mix- ture had begun to give off the odor of whiskey. I fell asleep for a short time, and when I awoke, 11ot hearing my hornet, I got out of bed to investigate. There he lay by the tumbler, dead drunk. He was stretched out on one side with one wing doubled under him, and a ludi- crous expression of sleepiness on his pointed face. I poked him with my finger to see how the whiskey had af-- fected his temper. He rose unstead- ily, staggered about for a few mo- ments, but soon lost the use of his legs, and in spite of my pokings, went off into a drunken sleep again. All the afternoon he lay there. As it grew cooler he stirred about un- easily, and just before dark he start- ed to crawl up the window. His head was heavy and his legs very shaky. He stopped on the top of the lower sash to lie down awhile. He evidently had a terrible headache, for he kept rubbing his head with his fore legs as if to relieve the pain. After a fall or two on the lower sash he reached the top of the window, there falling into a crack in the window-casing to sleep off the effects of his spree. 3 THE CiOM.E'I VVAS IT A DREAM? One night, about half-past twelve, Dr. Peterson was awakened by the i11- sistent ringing of his door-bell. He opened the door to find a strange man, who begged him to dress quickly and come with him to the house next door. This house had not been occupied for several years, and the doctor thought it strange that a family should have moved in without his knowledge, nevertheless, he hastened to make ready. WhC11 he reached the house, he found the interior beautifully fur- 11isl1ed and hung with rich draperies. In an upper chamber he found the patient, a charming girl about twenty years of age. She was richly dressed, a11d the whole room had the appearance of luxury. He attended the lady a11d left a prescription to be filled the next morning at the drug- gist's. After making the patient com- fortable and promising to return the next day, he departed. His first thought the next morning was of his strange visit of the night before to the supposedly deserted house. As soon as he was at leisure. he made his way to the neighboring house, but could not gain admittance. He finally succeeded in breaking in a door, and hurried up stairs. Every- thing was covered with dust and con-- webs. There was no sign of life about the place. On entering the room where he had been the night before, he found no patient or rich furnishings, but on the dusty mantelpiece was the prescrip- tio11 he had written on the preceding night. Where were the occupants of last night, and the furniture? Had it been a dream? If so, how could one explain the prescription? M S , '31 .li--i0 .1 THE HEALTH NURSE VISITS US It is Monday morning. A new Ford coupe stops in front of the high school, and a short, stout woman, ac- companied by a small black and white bull-terrier, descends from the car and makes her way toward the build- ing. She enters the main room and announces herself: I am the State health nurse, she says. When will it be convenient for me to examine the students? HO, any time, any time, replies Mr. Flye. How about Wednesday? And will you look up the students' cards if they have any? Mr. Flye promises to look up the cards, and we all look forward to Wednesday, for the examination may come while o11e of our recitation peri- ods is in progress. On Wednesday morning, Mr. Flye distributes the cards that he had dis- covered, and tells us to take them with us when we go to be examined. About ni11e o'elock the nurse drives up, and she and the dog come into the main room. The dog starts running around the room on a tour of inspection, when some of the Freshmen, who don't know any better, start to titter. Mr. Flye speaks right up, I hope you all behave as well as the dog does. Meanwhile the nurse has been re- moving her hat and coat. N ow she asks Mr. Flye, Will you send two of THE eoME'r 9 the boys down to the car for my suit cases? Certainly, says Mr. Flye, I think Bridges and Hooper are the strongest, so they are elected. After the suit cases arrive, the nurse putters around for a few min- utes and then announces that she is ready. Mr. Flye looks us all over and finally says, I think' we'll start with you, Pert. My turn comes sixth, and, as one could easily guess, it comes during recess. Take off your sweater and shoes, she greets me, as I enter the labora- tory, which is serving as her ofiice. Now she gets me on the scales and jots down my official weight as 185. Then she takes my height. Seventy-one and one-half inches, says she. My, what tall boys I I have been called about everything, but this is the first time I have been called tall, so I feel pretty pleased. Next she breaks a mustard paddle in two and introduces the large end of it into my throat. O, such beautiful teeth! Every- one I have examined, so far, has had wonderful teeth. ' Now she asks me, Do you sleep with your mouth open? Do you snore'? You might ask Mr. Flye, I reply. He seems to think I am asleep most of the time. Perhaps he can tell you. Now she looks at my finger nails and says they 're wonderful. Then she says: Heels together and chin drawn in! And to emphasize this she hits me a whack on my chin that nearly knocks me over. There, says she, that's a perfect position. Try to keep it. After this she makes me read some rows of letters, first with one eye cove ered, then the other. Then she tests my hearing. I cover one ear a11d she stands off a little distance and whis- pers, Do you like apple pie? If she had ever whispered as loud as that when she went to school, and had had Mr. Flye for a teacher, she would have had her seat changed be- fore night. She finishes her labors about four o'clock, and departs with her dog for parts unknown. --R. M. '30. 1.- 0 . IN THE NORTH IVOODS The sun slowly rose over the hard- wood ridge, lighting up the spruce valley below and tinting the ripples of the little lake. A partridge flew sud- denly from the birch thicket on one side of the ridge. A squirrel was busy gathering beechnuts which lay on the ground. It was the month of October, and all the woods were full of wild animals making preparations for the coming winter. A moose which had been feeding o11 the saplings of the ridge walks slowly down towards the lake for his morning drink of lake water. The dry leaves, which had fallen from the birch and beech trees, rustled as he walked through them. The day was now growing warmer as the sun came up higher. The waters of the lake were growing warmer and the fish were sunning themselves in the warm waters that lapped the sandy beach. At every sound that 10 THE' comm' seemed unusual to the timid fish, they would move toward deeper water. Another moose waded out into the lake from the opposite shore and stood there with his head up. It was a bull with a large set of antlers. A shot was heard somewhere on the ridge, and the moose waded ashore and started in the opposite direction from which the shot came. A hunter came down to the shore with a deer on his shoulders. He had shot the deer on the ridge. He hauled a canoe from under the thicket on the shore, put the deer in, and started off across the lake toward the trail. There are no people living here in the woods, and the only roads are the rivers, lakes and trails. As the sun went down behind the hill, darkness came on swiftly. A loon on the lake started his mournful song, and a flock of geese flew over on their way to the Southland. -E. IV.. l33. ,.....,...,.,T 0. .1.,. CLIMBING M CUNT CADILLAC Cn one of those warm, mid-summer afternoons last year, Don and I climbed Mount Cadillac. We went down through Bar Harbor and out to Jordan pond, leaving our car near the pond, which is at the foot of the mountain. From there we began fol- lowing the trail up the mountain. The side of the mountain was so steep and rocky that the trail was far from straight. We cut some stout sticks to help us along, and slowly ascended. After we had climbed the stone steps for nearly an hour, we sat down to rest. As we looked back over the way we had come, we could see our car almost directly below us, looking like a toy car. As we turned our gaze toward the top of the moun- tain, the summit seemed quite as far away as did the car. Again we began our climb. Nlfe got above the taller timber and came to a region where only short, scrubby pines and bushes grew. This time we kept going until we reached the top of the mountain. There we found two sign-boards, one directing to the Scouts' trail, the other the Sheriffs, trail. We sat on a ledge and ate our lunch, which made us feel much better. Af- ter we had rested, we looked around over the top of the mountain, and gazed at the scene below. The view was wonderful. To the south and east lay the shores of Mount Desert and beyond the broad Atlantic. To the north and west the main land of the Pine Tree State stretched away to the horizon. But the afternoon was passing and it was time to move towards home. Going down, we did not follow the trail but went straight down over the side. We pushed over one or two of the big rocks and let them crash to the bottom. We found later that this sport was forbidden by the rules of the park. We fell down several times. but we went down in a much shorter time than we went up. We reached our car about dark. We had spent an afternoon in vigorous exercise but we felt well paid for our exertions. THE coM.E'r' 11. LOCALS Sept. 9, 1929-The first day of school. Twelve bashful Freshmen ap- peared.

EXCHANGE S Although We sent out the usual number of copies of The Cornet last year, We have received only o11e paper in exchange, The Gathererf' from Deer Isle. This is a very interesting paper, with some good stories and jokes. There are individual pictures of the Senior class a11d group pic- tures of each class. The poetry is good, and the thirty pages of adver- tising show an appreciative com- munity. We hope to have more exchanges next year.
