Because of the arrival of new students from Dennysville, Edmunds, and Marion, the date of organization of the council was postponed. Q The primary aim of the Student Council is to provide and encourage student participation as it affords adequate representation for the students. The Student Council also promotes better student-faculty relations. Many other objectives, too lengthy to mention here, are important aims of Shead High's Student Council. if One of the many projects undertaken this year by the Student Council was the sale of Shead note paper. Money from these projects is used for equipment such as record players or movie projectors. The members of the Student Council are as follows: Cynthia Rice, Cheryl Hicks, Dale Cook, Leonard Lyons, jack Mitchell, Catherine Dudley, Diane Knowl- ton, Edwin Malloch, James Cheverie, Sonja Stevens, James Turner, and Carol MacGregor.

States are programs for training girls and boys in good citizenship. They are sponsored by the National Auxil- iary of the American Legion for the girls and the American Legion and the Rotary Club for the boys. Boys and girls of high school age take part in the state-wide schools which are called states. They hold elections, carry on the business of government, and have athletic and recreational programs. The meetings usually are held on college campuses. Girls and boys are chosen on the basis of their qualities of leadership, general ability, scholarship, and personality. The girls and boys who attend the states learn about American government by set- ting up a government like that of state, county, and city governments in the United States, The girls and boys run for any olhce they wish and conduct their own political campaigns. Elected or appointed oHicia1s range from a governor to a justice of the peace and police Constables. They distribute manuals which give clear-cut outlines of the duties of each oihcial. The election ma- chinery includes meetings of party leaders, conventions, and elections. Patriotic programs are held, including flag-raising ceremonies. A daily newspaper is published and glee clubs are active. Girls' and Boys' States also have sports and recre- ation programs, which teach the members the principles of good sportsmanship. In june of 1961, Carol MacGregor, Michael Healy, and Walter Hicks attended Girls? and Boys' States. Cynthia Rice was chosen as alternate. Girls, State was held at Colby College in Waterville while Boys' State was held at the University of Maine in Orono. l 1 1 SHEIXW IN WILLIAMS COMPANY Calais, Maine of lf6l'0ly 'xa- f x , 72 , f f , 3 , Q! im C W N X , S x .. 41, gf VE XSNXNX N 1 f - ' I, X, .

This task would be enormous and would naturally need the help of every person in the world. The dangers of mis- interpretation and misunderstanding that are so prevalent in this day and age would be greatly decreased. This would mean one very important step forward in the Hght for peace. y Customs and ideas of our neighboring countries would be made so much clearer that before long there probably would be a complete bond of friendship among the countries. To be thus united would mean one lan- guage that the entire world would be will- ing to have. As Americans we probably would want to continue using the English language, but whether we are to speak English, Russian, or Spanish is not half as important as the desire of each country to lessen the confused barrier of' speech that exists in this twentieth century and to un- derstand one's fellow-man. Mary Archibald '63 WHY HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FLUNK Flunking is the general term for a student failing to achieve passing grades in a sub- ject. Flunking is taboo to high school stu- dents who are concerned about their school grades and the importance of these gra.des in their future academic work. When a student Hunks, the result is usually fewer privileges, early curfews on weekends, and long, imposed study hours on school nights. VV hat are some of the ulterior reasons for high school students flunking a subject? Al- though 95921 of the students who Hunk a subject have the ability to do satisfactory work in it, there are always a few individ- uals, who just do not have the ability to do that particular type of work. This reason is plainly seen, however, and needs little dis- cussiong but what about the student who has the ability to do good work in a subject, such as a language or math, and yet he still fails, There may be several underlying possi- bilities which determine this. One such possibility may be family prob- lems. During adolescence, a young man or woman has a very delicate relationship with his parents. Many family problems such as separation of parents during their teen-age years or parents who take no interest what- soever in their children may be the cause of great injury to a teen-age boy or girl. Distraught emotions can greatly affect a studentls rank. The boy or girlis mind be- comes so occupied and obsessed with worry over his home life that, consequently, his ranks show the effect of these emotions. This is a serious problem with high school students and should not be treated lightly. The correction of this problem requires an open and willing mind of the student and a more understanding mind on the parents' behalf. Still other students who are failing hold outside jobs which take up a considerable amount of their time. This is particularly true of boys, for at this time in life a boy feels as though he should be earning his keep. He may feel that going to school is a waste of time. Although he may be making good wages now, ten years from now he will be making the same amount, while his friends who have a college education will be making three times as much as he. Students must realize that school is im- portant if they want a decent future. No matter what type of problem a person has, if he will look at himself objectively, he can overcome it. It is not worth the studentas trouble to waste precious time in high school and thus have to work doubly hard in col- lege if he has a keen desire to make a good living for himself. Walter Hicks '62 THE LOBSTER POT Perry, Maine PASSAMAQUODDY ORACLE 41 THE EXPLOSIVE GENERATION From the many wild interpretations of the Twist to quiet discussions of national aHiairs or of a math problem, today's youth is truly what Look Magazine has recently termed the explosive generation. There is less difficulty now in exerting individuality than there was a few years ago. Teens of the sixties are climbing above the complacency and conformity of the teens of the fifties. Pro-intellectualism is the thing . There is a fast increasing desire for knowledge and a drive for more and more learning. Fewer students are becoming satisfied with just a high school diploma. Not only has the num- ber of high school graduates attending col- leges and universities increased, but the per- centage also has shot up. Teens are taking part in politics, though they don't have the right to vote. CVCII Political campaigns are organized, there have been demonstrations and riots from Turkey to the Congo, instigated by teen- agers and young college students, more keenly aware of the world situation and of international politics than many, many adults who have the right to vote and abuse it. Perhaps these incidents a.ren't construc- tive, but they are examples of youth voicing its opinion-always doing something new, always helping, making, organizing, invent- ing, searching, and finding. They are never at a standstill. Teens are growing more and more realis- tic and rationalistic about life and their outlook on life. This can be illustrated by the gradual change in perference of music from abstract, cloud-9, off-in-a-dream songs to practical, feet-on-the-ground, folk music and blues. Teens of the sixties are making things happen, and as tomorrow's citizens they will continue to make things happen. So don't just wait for an opportunity to knock, reach out and grab one as it starts to pass. Be one of the teens that Look calls Hexplosiven. Get up and go! Moneda Auclair '63 WOW, WHAT A DREAM! One cold, wintry night I found myself awakening only to discover that I had an utterly fantastic dream. The time was 8:-1-5 on a Monday morn- ing. Each student reported to his home room and took his seat. At 8:50 the last bell rang. Everyone sat waiting for the teacher to appear. But he did not come. The bell rang signifying that the first class was about to begin. Everyone went to his Period 1 class. However, there was not any teacher here either. They waited and waited, not daring to get into any mischief because they did not know when the teacher would suddenly appear. Finally, Period 1 was over and not one thing had been ac- complished. Next on the agenda was Period 2. Every- one decided to move on to his next class. The waiting period began again. But still no teachers. It was now time for recess. Potato chips and milk were sold as usual. Malcolm Cush- ing had a little spare time on his hands so he sold lunch tickets. Mrs. Fogg always performed this head-aching task. On Mondays, there is always an activity period, and today was no exception. Some of the students went to Glee Club while others stayed at school and killed time. At 12:42 everyone dashed for the cafe- teria. fl might add that everyone took ad- vantage of the shortcut that day.j Our din- ner was ready and waiting for us. Incident- ally, there were teachers here. At 12:50 everyone reported back to his home room. They waited just as they had in the morning. However, as Period 3 drew to a close they were inclined to be a little rest- less. They were worried about their teachers. W. N. MacGREGOR Eastport, Maine 42 PASSAMAQUODDY ORACLE As Period 4 began, each student tried to conceal his concern. Each class held a party, since there might not be another chance like this in a lifetime. As Period 5, the last class for the day, began, the student body decided it was time the situation was brought out in the open and discussed. Each class met in its home- room to hold such a discussion. QU The teachers had overslept. No, twelve people do not oversleep all on the same morning. QQQ They were sick. No, if there were an epidemic about town, surely someone would have heard about it. h C35 They had gone on a strike. No, why should they? Their job is easy. HJ They had forgotten that it was a school day. Impossible, teachers never for- get about school. Finally, the day was over. Everyone went home perplexed. They just could not figure it out. At this point, I awoke. I wonder, Why didn't the teachers come? Frances Dudley '62 TALK IS CHEAP If you were involved in a very deep con- versation fcommonly called gossip l and the opposite party told you something evil, whether it concerned someone you knew or loved, what would be your first feeling? If this information concerned someone you were not very well acquainted with, you probably would listen, talk about it, and then disregard it completely. However, if someone you loved were involved in this baleful situation, wouldn't your first feeling be a deep hurt? To most people it would be. Few are exceptions! Your first impulse would be to find out if this so-called gossip were true. Someone once said to me, How do you know that what you hear is fact? You know how stories change during their course of travel. Weigh the facts, and then say to yourself! Is this true?', Since this was a very wise suggestion, I have followed it from that day hence. It makes you realize that what appears to be a very shocking piece of news may be just a false rumor. If people today would only realize that ntalk is cheapu, there would be much 'less hurt in the world than there is at this time. The next time you are engaged in a lively group discussion and the subject turns to ridicule of others, whether you know the individuals or not, check to make the gossip a fact before you tell it to others. However, it would be better to forget it anyway, for 'italk is cheap? Cheryl Hicks '62 A REPUBLIC, IF WE CAN SAVE IT The new frontier of today is to keep our republic free. From seventeen hundred and seventy-five to nineteen hundred and sixty- two the challenge has remained the same. The freedom and happiness of all human beings depend upon the greatness of each individual, the ability of each to recognize right from wrong, the respect for each other, and the belief in our God and country. WVe must re-evaluate the old. The chal- lenge in seventeen hundred and seventy-five was a call to arms. Do you remember the poem telling of the famous ride of Paul Revere? c'Listen, my children, and you shall hear Of the mid-night ride of Paul Revere, . . . Everyone up and to arms . . . 'QA cry of dehance and not of fear, A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door, And a word that shall echo forevermorel For, borne on the night-wind of the Past, Through all our history, to the last, In the hour of darkness and peril and need, The people will waken and listen to hear CARTER LUMBER COMPANY Eastport, Maine PASSAMAQUODDY ORACLE 43 In Boston town, October 28, 1789, George Washington spoke: 'iYour love of Liberty, your respect for the laws, your habits of industry, and your practice of moral and religious obligations are the strongest claims to national and individual happiness, and they will, I trust, be firmly and everlastingly established. This was the foundation of our new re- public. Has it failed? Today in nineteen hundred and sixty-two we face anew the same problems of a free world, not one small new nation. The chal- lenge, the foundation of a world republic, remains the same. The United States, the fOn: Little Candle, raised the torch of libertyand justice for all. l'Ve are fighting for world freedom and that light, too, per- haps through greater strife, will everlasting shine. We can and must keep ever before youth the greatness of our past: the patriotism, the ideals, and the struggle that has made our nation what it is today-a republic, one nation, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. This, education must do: we face few enemies and we must teach understanding and truth to be able to recognize the deceit of compromise and the courage to dare to negotiate, yet to stand firm in our own con- victions. l'Ve must renew and re-establish the old to be able to challenge and fight for the new republic of the world. It can be saved! President Kennedy sounds a new cry of defiance and to arms. While speaking on November ll, President Kennedy stated: No nation should confuse our perservance and patience with fear of war or unwilling- ness to meet our responsibilities. We cannot save ourselves by abandoning those who are associated with us or rejecting our respon- sibilities. In the end the only way to main- tain peace and freedom is to be prepared in the Final extreme to fight for our country and to mean it! This republic can be saved as long as one man with dignity, courage, understanding, and knowledge remains alive! Judie Mathews '62 SHEAD MEMORIAL HIGH The name of our school is Shead Memorial High, W'here old friends come to visit as the years roll by.

No one heard it I am told, As it crept through a window pane And playfully kissed the hair of gold, Hair golden as the golden grain. His sunny, smiling face is seen By children as they laugh and playg He shines on quiet village greens And desert's burning sands each day. Then he slips away in gold and red And leaves the quiet night, As sleepy, little curly heads Tumble into dreams so bright. Cynthia Rice '62 RED RANCH INN Eastport, Maine 44 PASSAMAQUODDY ORACLE S.M.H.S. TRANSFER Our townspeople voted to close our high school, Wfhich so often had taught us to live by the rule. Thus to Eastport our transfer was made, By bus we would go after plans had been laid. On September the fifth, we boarded the bus, Expectant, anxious, and raising a fuss. Timid we were as we landed that day, On the grounds of Shead High, where we were to stay. Our fears were soon dismissed by the greeting we got From all Shead High students as we entered the lot. lVe could see from there on we had nothing to fear, And it would be for us an excellent year. VVe have worked and accomplished many a deed, And with aid from our teachers, we may some- day succeed. Our classes, our memories, our friends will last long. The teachers, the gay times, and our old Shead High song. In closing, I, for one might say I'll be sorry to leave graduation day. My stay at Shead High has been a pleasure, Those days I'll remember and forever will treasure. Donna Wilder '62 THE RAIN It was a miny afternoon, Everything was wet. The wind was blowing a gale, And by the window where I sat, I could watch the large, soft raindrops Splash on nature's face, As she fed the birds and trees That so long waited for this grace. lVhile looking out my window, I watched the rain fall down. I wondered all about the cities, And the people shopping with a frown. I bet they were a pretty sight, XVading through those puddles, All those bundles were getting wetg How the shoppers were befuddled! YVell, I guess nature has her ways. And rain is on her schedule. She knew the earthworms needed it And that the rivers needed fuel. It isn't so bad after all, Tomorrow it'll be over. A year from now we'll forget this day VVe spent inside with Rover.
