His ances- tors. after settling along the rivers. built boats and sailed them down to the sea and brought home treasures from all over the world-the Chinese fan, the carved chest. the large pink shell grandmother held to his childish ear so he could hear the ocean's roar. Old and rotting wharves along river banks tell their own story of those days before power projects and big steamships put an end to such navigation. There are few places in Maine so far from the coast that the screaming sea gulls do not wheel overhead. having come up Maine rivers seeking food. On a foggy day the mill whistle makes the inland villager think of fog horns. and the mist smells salty as if it were coming directly off the sea. To the camper by the lake, the slapping of the waves against the shore brings to mind much larger waves, beating against the jagged rocks of the coast. The hunter by his campfire, hearing the wind's sighing in the tall pines, thinks of the louder roar of the sea. For all these reasons we. living in an inland town, have chosen the coast of Maine as our yearbook theme.

Chorus. + Fog Horn ,-------,-------------- Telling the story of our year Solon High School .-Xlthough our school may be small in size. we certainly have our share of fun and excite- ment. We have many extra-curricular activi- ties such as The Courier. Solon Starlets. Crafts Club. Leathercraft Club. softball. baseball. and basketball. Uur bus driver. Linwood Tuscan, tother- wise known to students as Tuc J is very ac- comodating about taking us to activities held in other towns. He is very interested in all the students. joining in all arguments. which may include anything from cars to horses. fllr. Dean. the teacher who drives our smaller bus. is also a great tease. delighted when the students strike back with a better joke on him. Both join in the games on the schoolground. Manual Training The manual arts course has been returned to our curriculum, with Mr. Raymond Dean as the instructor, Many girls made a mad dash to sign up for the course and were surprised to find they would be allowed to take it. Compet- ing against the boys. the weaker sex certainly make a terrific racket tthey aren't talking either il l Some boys devote part of the time to the study of automobile mechanics. The classes turn out many interesting and useful articles. Tonette Band Something new has been added! Last fall twenty-eight pupils in the lifth to eighth grades received a new musical instrument. the tonette. At almost any hour one may hear these ton- ettes. .-Xt home the young musician must choose between two things, either practicing faithfully despite sister's and brother's angry commands to Stop that noisel . while father suddenly disappears, leaving mother vainly trying to keep ----,-----------s,------,, .,.gnu!lvS 9f peace in the family: or not practicing. only to hear a lecture by Mrs. Andrews. who has charge of tonette band rehearsals in the absence of Klr. Alpert. the music supervisor. 5 1505 1519111 A.,A.A ,--,--------,------,--f.f.5,f.f,f.f.325.5 .uf Hot Lunch All morning the tantalizing smells from the hot lunch room drift upstairs giving us a pre- view of what we are to have for dinner. Then when the noon bell rings there is a mad dash for the chow line. Mrs. MacFarland. our cook, is busily dishing out food for us as we enter, and soon everyone is calling for seconds-even of milk. This sends the assisting teachers and the two student helpers hurrying back and forth trying to satisfy all the hungry people at once. Chispa, as she is known to most of the stu- dents. receives due praise for her appetizing, well balanced meals. Telling The Story of Our Year September 8. 1947. Dear Diary. VV ith high spirits we go back to school. Summer vacation has wiped away all unpleas- ant memories, and school is once more a lark. September 9, 1947. Oh. oh! Did we say something? It's the same old story after all---homework and more homework Y September 26, 1947. My. my. the dresses certainly are going down and the Freshmen boys were really in style to- day. But the girls-oh, Well! After the stunts were over. the meek Freshmen were served re- freshments. Could be the Sophs were trying to take the sting out of their ill treatment of those poor greenies. It might be wise! Although we were hindered by a small staff, the preliminary issue of The Courier appeared today with Mary Andrews editor-in-chief, and June McCollor, business manager. October 3, 1947. It seems the Juniors have finally realized they'll need some funds in their treasury when they graduate next year. They had a Vic Party 6 and a quilt raffle tonight to start their balance mounting. Reports sound good. l P. S. Mrs. Russell got the quiltlm October 21, 1947. The Seniors' desks were piled high with boxes of Christmas cards today: these they poked in everyone's face. It seems they want to get rid of 100 boxes of them. The only catch is that they're a dollar a box! October 24. 1947. .Xnother Vic Party! Those Juniors are cer- tainly going to town. The entire high school went to Augusta to- day to see the Freedom Train. After all the crowding and waiting, we wonder - was it worth it? October 27. 1947. The annual magazine campaign. which started fthe lifteenth. closed today. june McCollor was business managerg Marie Boynton her as- sistantg and Bobby Martell and Barbara Bur- rows were captains of the two teams. The business managers are working hard on their final reports. Bobby Martell's team was the winner. tws. p Fog Horn October 31. 1947. Tonight the high school helped the Fresh- men put on a free Halloween party for the entire school. Refreshments were served. The purpose of the party was to provide entertain- ment for the young folks who were requested by the Governor to stay off the streets Hallowe- en Night and lessen the danger of more forest fires. Mrs. Loomis played the piano so we could dance. XVhat would we do without her? November IO, 1947. NYhat won't they think of next? Tonight the Juniors had a Blue Jeans Party. Everyone wore dungarees. and there were cider and doughnuts on sale. Pretty successful on the whole. Seems to me their funds should be greater now. November 19, 1947. Basketball practice started last night. Twelve girls and seven boys are going out for it. We were all present and accounted for this morn- ing, but-oh! our aching backs. Our rugged he-men don't seem to suffer many ill effects though. November 26. 1947. The name drawn for the Seniors' Thanks- giving Basket this afternoon was Teddy Hilton. We hope he doesn't try to eat all that food himself. December 1. 1947. Our Ingrid Bergmans and one lone Humph- rey Bogart assembled today to organize the famous Solon Starlets. Here's to their suc- cess! December 5, 1947. It was a rather shaky girls! team which met North Anson on our Hoor tonight with only two veterans. The boys, who lost only one player through graduation last year, were hop- ing for the best. Even though the cheerleaders, Marie Boynton, June McCollor, and Barbara Burrows. aided by Mrs. Loomis and Helene, ----------------------Q gave their all for the teams, the girls lost by the narrow margin of 22-27 and the boys lost 29119- December 12. 1947. Both teams had high hopes as they headed for Jackman this afternoon, chauffered by Mr. Scribner, Mr. Shepardson, Mr. Brewster, and Mr. Cross. Their spirits descended. however, when the snappy Jackman girls took over the Solon lassies, 23-10, and the boys lost 26-27 in a battle that was nip-and-tuck all the way. December I7, 1947. Mr. Alpert and the chorus members put on a Christmas Operetta. The Shepherds' Christ- mas. Although they had just two rehearsals at the hall. it went off very well. December 19, 1947. The biggest event in our Christmas party this afternoon was the play, Home for Christ- mas. which was presented by the Starlets. Our basketball game with Central High was played on our floor tonight.

The first game was a success for the Alumni. and one good reason was the Starbird sisters- Beverly Davis combination. The local lassies put on a good show, but were little barrier to the fast-moving old-timers fahem ll. In the second game. the battle brought to- gether the famed Tewksbury brothers, Harold and Harland, who, by the way, had been play- ing pro basketball, along with tall Elwood Pad- ham and his cousin Earl Padham.

Playing fast ball, the .Alumni outpassed, but couldn't outshine their little opponents, and the half ended with the high school in the lead. In the second the Vlildcats put on a tremendous drive and surged I5 points in front. In the last period the Alumni. thinking they could overtake the high school. were held scoreless. At the final whistle the score stood 52 to 45. Girls' Individual Scoring Record For Season Games Field Foul Total Name Played Goals Goals Points J. McCollor, rf 12 21 24 66 H.
