SENIOR HISTORY Senior Class History Four years ago, in the fall of 1948, the present senior class entered Somerset Academy as I 3 very green freshmen. During our first days at the Academy we were terrified by the upperclassmen's tales of the hor- rors that were to befall us during Freshman Ini- tiation. Finally our day of doom came and I must say the sophomores really poured it on. The fairer sex of our class had to appear in men's clothing and on backwards at that!! Have you ever tried sitting down dressed out in an old pair of trousers that had the front where the back ought to be? lt's no cinch, as we found out, and we did our share of squirming that day. The stronger sex CPD came in ladies' clothesg silk stock- ings and lipstick, with high heels and fancy hats. These big rugged boys also carried dolls for company. Another dreaded ordeal we had to surmount was freshman speaking. For weeks we shuddered to think of appearing in public and reciting our pieces, when the big night finally came, our knees shook and our voices trembled as we struggled through our parts. Erald Kilkenny's hair-raising tale of the Golden Arm won first prize. Paul jackson took second prize with Uncle Podger Hangs A Picture. Pauline Tol- man and Madelyn Farrin won honorable men- tions. After overcoming these difficulties, we were at ease for the rest of the year. We entered our sophomore year with IO mem- bers, having lost Earl Forbus, Laura Wyman, and Amber Campbell. We came to school this second year with a feeling of superiority over the lowly freshmen, whom we initiated with even harder tasks than we had had ourselves and really gave them a hard time. At our first sopho- more class meetingwe elected our new class offi- cers, as follows: president, Paul jackson, vice- president, Madelyn Farrin, and as secretary and treasurer, Pauline Tolman. Before the year was out, we lost Paul jackson and Vemice Leighty, thus leaving us a class of eight members. We produced two plays that year, Gone With The Girlsf for our own benefit, and l-ieudin' ln The Hills for the School Association. Besides all this, our members took an active part in both baseball and softball. We began our junior year, quite grown up and all ready to settle down and really study. As a result of our new urge, all of our ranks shot up and we all became regular members of the honor roll. Cf course we wished to keep up this fine work so our junior year was a serious, sober, and studious year. We did manage to break away from our studies long enough to elect our class officers, who were: president, Madelyn Farring vice-presi- dent, Pauline Tolman, and secretary-treasurer, Geraldine Mishou. We also managed to put on a play of our own, Girls Are Like That, and to enter the one-act play contest between the four classes. Our A Date With Bobby Sox won second place. During this year a new sport was introduced, the sport of basketball, of course, our class members all took active parts in the 'game as well as baseball and softball, the school just couldn't get along without our athletic class. In our junior year, to our sorrow, we lost two more members, Cora Forbus and Erald Kilkenny, who transferred to Skowhegan. Here we are at last, seniors. How long we have worked for that title, Senior. We have slaved and studied for three longyears, struggling through midyears and finals to reach our goal. Now that we have reached it, we are relaxingg we no longer slave and study, for we know most everything. One thing that we cannot explain, however, our ranks have dropped considerably. It must be that the senior year is difficult. We decided at the first of the year to continue our work and accomplish things, but now we won- der where all of our enthusiam has gone. We did, at least, get our senior play, Look Out Lizzie, produced and will enter the one- act play contest. Again this year, as our policy has always been, we are taking active parts in sports. Having lost Virginia Tuttle at the first of the school year, there are only five of our original I3 members remaining with graduation just around the corner. We often wish that all I3 of us who started high school four years ago could be with us on graduation day. 5 SEN IORS GERALDINE MISHOU Basketball manager 3, 4, Soft- ball scorer 2, 2, 3 Dramatics 1 3 4 7 2, 3, 4, Track 3, Business man- ager of magazine campaign 4 Magazine campaign top sales- man 4, Freshman S pe a k i n g HERBERT NORMAN Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4, Basketball 3, 4, Track 3, Dramatics 1, 2, 3, 45 Freshman Speaking, Yearbook Staff 3, Class President 4g School Association 4. 6 MADELYN FARRIN Softball 1, 2, 3, 4, Track 3, Dramatics 1, 2, 3, 4, Basketball 3, 43 Freshman Speaking, Yearbook Staff 3, 49 Class President 3, Vice- president 2, Treasurer, School Association 4, President, Home Ec.

ELLA WHEELER WILCOX For all your days prepare, And meet them ever alike: When you are the anvil, hear- When you are the hammer, strike. EDWIN MARKHABI 7 LITERARY Jack Frost's Magic This morning as I was eating my breakfast, I glanced up and right before my eyes was a beau- tiful picture. I saw a grand old castle resting atop a slope, around the castle was a moat filled with sparkling water, across the moat lay an old, sturdy drawbridge. A knight in shining armor stood erect, his battle-axe raised in his hand for attack. Through the castle window I could see men moving about, and once in a while the bob of a helmet disclosed the presence of guards. I saw an old king, his jeweled crown sparkling like crystals, slowly descend to the drawbridge. But as the sun rose, it threw the complete scene into confusion. The castle crumbled and fell to the ground, the drawbridge sank slowly into the moat, which, in turn, seemed to evaporate into air. The old king and his knights just wilted and died before my eyes. Soon nothing was left but a crumpled heap, even this slowly dissolved and finally an occasional drop of water slowly finding its way to the window sill was all that remained of what was probably the world's greatest mas- terpiece, sketched on my window by that master magician, jack Frost. GERALDINE Mrsr-rou '52 Excuse Me The winter that I was ro or 1 1 years old, Uncle Harry and my father were going to cut zo cords of firewood for my grandfather and some for their own use. The place they had picked to cut the Wood was half a mile straight back into the woods. As it is hard for Dad to walk, they decided to build a shelter, make a stove out of an old oil drum and eat their lunches in the woods to save walking to the house and back. The men built the frame- work and Norman, Gib, and I filled it in with boughs. It was our job every noon to take the lunches into the woods and prepare them on the oil drum stove. One noon as we all sat around on the boughs after finishing dinner, a rabbit came across the road and whizzed through the door. Five bodies 8 simultaneously made a lunge for it but came up with only a handful of dirt. We tried to figure out why the rabbit ran through the camp and finally decided we must have built the camp over a rabbit run and it was just a routine trip for Mr. Rabbit. Rossini POLAND '53 Education for Success Education for life does not consist wholly of book learning. Many of our country's greatest men never had any more schooling than a stu- dent in grammar school has today. The person who really wants to learn will become educated regardless of how little he goes to school. Listen- ing to well informed people, asking questions, and remembering information are ways of learn- ing, but experience, of course, is the best teacher. Great men like Franklin, Lincoln, and others of humble or average parents, who rose to great heights, had to work hard for that education which didn't come from books. WELDON FRENCH '53 Modest I During World War Two there were many in- cidents that failed to come to the attention of the public. In one of these Cprobably a major turning point in the WarD a very important per- son played a prominent part-I. The story I am about to relate took place April 13, 1945, the day before my birthday, the location I will not dis- close, for it might tend to embarrass some very prominent people. At this time of year this place is generally foggy and the day I speak of was no exceptiong in fact the fog was so thick, it was impossible for one to tell where he was going. The time was two o'clock in the morning and I had just come in from a walk when suddenly the air was split by the wail of the air raid siren. I was out of the house Cbeing a privileged charac- ter I was granted a house instead of regular bar- racksD and into headquarters in a matter of min- utes. For some reason which I can't seem to recall all planes but mine were grounded. It was decided that I would go up alone and try to hold LITERARY off the enemy until reinforcements arrived. I climbed into the cockpit fully aware of the dangers that confronted me. It would be one against about 16 or I7 of the enemy. The fact that I was the only plane on our side helped because now I could shoot at anything and feel quite sure it wasn't a friendly plane. I started the battle by shooting down six of my foes before they discovered where I was. After this the going was a little tough and the most I got at a time were three. The fight lasted about an hour. During that time I shot down or crip- pled I3 enemy planes and sent the rest home in rather swift departure. Upon landing I was rushed before the big boss who begged that I keep the battle secret as he might lose his job if it got around that all but one of his planes were laid up at one time. Being the modest fellow that I am, I consented to his plan without hesita- tion. It is for this reason that the newspapers never published my daring feat. NORISIAN FINNEMORE '53 My Neighbor's Radio My neighbor has the oddest and noisiest radio that ever was manufactured. The make, I be- lieve, is Philco, but that means nothing. I know of many Philco radios and none of these could ever equal, say nothing of surpassing, my neigh- bor's radio. It is the funniest contraption I have ever seen. It has no buttons to turn it off or on, it has no volume knob to turn it up or downg it is always going full blast, and worst of all it never breaks down like other radios do. I got up at seven on Monday morning to find that radio blaring away at top volume. I didn't like this very well as I couldnit enjoy my break- fast with that horrible noise going on across the street. About noon I was nearly fed up so I cut the antenna wire off close to the radio, thinking the thing would stop playing, but much to my sur- prise it played all the louder. So I went back home to think up a new way to stop this menace which was plaguing the neighborhood. After many false starts I finally went to the gentleman's house to ask him if he would please make less noise. When I knocked, nobody an- swered. After rapping on every window and nearly breaking down the front door, I discovered he wasn't at home, he had left on a week's vaca- tion and had forgotten to turn the radio off. ROBERT POLAND '53 My Unforgettable Moment When I was three years old, I was playing on the floor with my year and a half old brother, when there came a knock on the door. I had just recently acquired the habit of answering the door, so before my mother could get there, I ran over and opened it myself. I just stood and looked, for there in front of me stood the small- est, queerest man I had ever seen. He was only about three feet tall, all dressed in a black tuxe- do and a tall black hat. His face was very shiny and he had a big mouth. He was so terrible looking that I ran screaming to my mother for protection. When safely attached to her skirt, I peeked out to see if the man was still there. Much to my surprise, out from behind the door came father laughing. He picked up the monstrosity and by this time I could see that my little man was nothing more than a large doll dressed as Charlie McCarthy. GERALDINE Mrsnou '52 Escape from the Cannibals One day several years ago I was asked by a government agency to explore a tropical island in the South Pacific. The purpose was to locate a great quantity of minerals which were necessary in the production of the atomic bomb. The United States wanted to secure these minerals before Russia, and despite the natives who were savage cannibals and head-hunters. I packed my bag and took off for the island which cannot be named because it is a govern- ment secret. Accompanying me was a native guide, an ex-cannibal named Eatimup who was civilized. At the edge of civilization loo miles from our destination, we engaged a small single- engine plane for the rest of the trip. I landed the 9 LITERARY plane in a small bay on the southwest side of the island. All went well for a few days and I had found where most of the ore lay. However, on the fifth day, as we were doing some last minute recon- noitering, all at once, out of the foliage charged 18 savage, bloodthirsty natives. One after an- other I fired my last six bullets and six of the can- nibals lay dead, to no avail, faithful Eatimup and I couldn't get ahead in the battle. We were taken to the native village and put in a hut to await our fate. Then Eatimup started groaning, Me got heap big ache. Last time me feelum this way was time me eatum baloney. All cannibals get heap sick if swallow baloneyf' Next morning we were awakened and dragged to a Hre over which hung a huge pot. When I learned that they were going to stew me, I got angry. In fact, I was boiling. I told them off. I reminded them how sweet, kind, and wonderful I was. The chief then interrupted and said, Ugh, too much. We not eat you if you last man on earth, begonef' On our way home Eatimup remarked, It heap- good for us that you full of baloneyf' I never did learn what he meant. I guess he just didn't ap- preciate my great speech to the chief. VVELDON FRENCH '53 lt Should Hove Worked As I was reading the daily paper, an article caught my eye and I stared in disbelief. A movie star coming to Athens! And believe it or not, it was Clark Cable, my one and only heart throb. I quickly read the article and noticed that he would be at a party three days away, but how could I stand a chance against Marion Tuttle and Pearl Small, the town belles! In dismay I went up to the attic and sat down by the window where I often spend my time when I am troubled. I was glancing around the room when suddenly I saw an old, dusty book. Curiously I picked it up. I was startled when I read the title, Modern Witchcraft. I was about to put it back when a sudden thought came to me. The Love Potion! Could it be in there? Quickly I looked through the index, there it was. IO Turning to the indicated page, I quickly found the recipe: 1 rotten egg, well beaten 1 cup stagnant water 5 cat claws, well ground 1 spear of hair from a person's head Boil at midnight and chant these words, I wish I may, I wish I might, I wish I'd get the Wish I wish tonight. With horror I closed the book and sat down, but my mind kept wandering back to it and soon I was making plans. Luck was with mel I had found an old rotten egg behind the barn only the day before. There was an old well in a vacant lot nearby, it was said to be stagnant. A neigh- bor's cat had been run over recently and was buried across the road, and my hair is always plentiful. I took the rest of the day to get these ingredi- ents togetherg but by nightfall I was ready. I went upstairs to my room and waited until 11230. Quietly I crept downstairs and found an old kettle. When the clock struck 12, the mixture was boiling and I started chanting, I wish I may, I wish I might, I wish I'd get the wish I wish tonight. Quickly I bottled the liquid and went back to bed to dream about the party. I got ready for my venture early and slipped out before' anyone saw me. My luck was still with me when I arrived at the party. A girl who was to be a waitress was sick and I was asked to take her place. Mr. Cable sat next to my table so it was easy to slip some of my concoction into his tea. I waited around, but nothing happened and to my disappointment Mr. Cable didn't even notice me. As soon as possible I left in dismay and hurried to the attic to read the recipe over again. I was ready to give up when I saw a small note at the bottom of the page. I read, This potion will not work if mixed -with tea leaves. In disgust I went to bed and decided, that once and for all, I was through with men. BEVERLY FINNEMORE '55 Christy: Elwood is an awful flirt. I wouldn't trust him too far. Marguerite: Huh, I wouldn't trust him too near. LITERARY The Peter Piper Pickle Company The Peter Piper Pickle Company was started back in 1776 by old Peter Piper who set up the pickle business in an old shack on his farm in Lexington, Alaska. At that time he was 16 years old, and every year, generation after generation, it grew to be the world's largest pickle company. The company is now run by Peter Piper XXIV who has over zoo pickle factories and is a multi- billionaire. The company puts pickles up in ten-gallon cans, because when people buy a big jar of Peter Piper pickles, they would always want the largest one, so they sell all their pickles in ten-gallon cans. All Peter Piper pickles are imported from Si- beria and preserved in moth balls until they get to the United States, where they are taken by ox-cart to the Peter Piper pickle factory for manufacture. So why don't you try the small, economy, ten- gallon jar today? ROBERT HAYDEN '54 Woodland Voices Mother Nature created many wonders in the woods which change as the seasons come and go. In the spring while the ground is still damp, one can walk along almost noiselessly over soft mossy carpets listening to the birds chirp happi- ly as they go about building new homes. Scamp ering through the trees the squirrels and chip- munks can be heard chattering back and forth. Breezes threading their way through tender leaves hum an unpitched tune, while the sound of soft ripples in the brook may mean a young doe is quietly drinking nearby. Everywhere is sensed the new awakening in Nature's realm. Have you ever sat in silence on a blanket of needles among the pines on a warm summer day and watched little insects appear as they go about making the most of a short life? An ant scurries over the root of a tree, heading for a planned des- tination. Up the bark of the same tree works a small green worm, inch by inch. The only sound is the buzz of flies or the whine of an occasional mosquito. All is at peace with the world and a more restful atmosphere cannot be found. Fall is the noisiest time of the year. The leaves of the trees rustle as they fall to the ground in a multicolored shower. A deer, startled from its evening feeding, crashes off to safe haunts. Heard from beech to oak the steady jabber of the chipmunks can only mean that winter is hard by and time has come to hoard for long cold months. The whole forest world is ablaze in all its gay and boisterous parade. Tempus fugitf' A quiet has descended over hill and valley. ln one great sweep, overnight, an invisible band has erased the autumn splen- dor and color has given way to the purity of snow white. The hibernating animals have set- tled down to sleep and keep warm. The birds have long since left for sunnier climes. Only a huge white Snowshoe rabbit or stray mouse ven- tures abroad to view the silent winter wonderland. Yes, Mother Nature has provided for us an ever-changing panorama of sights and sounds that can never be duplicated by man. One has only to penetrate the deep woods to find a tran- quillity needed to heal the wounds of a hectic and chaotic world. MADELYN FARRIN '52 A Trip to the Moon It is the day of June 1, 1965, when the moon is closest to the earth and we are ready to start on man's first flight in outer space. The name of the rocket ship is The Great Dragon and it is the largest ship of its kind. Accompanyingrme on this trip to the moon are Dr. Carroll Hall, radio operator Delmar Barker, ccrpilot Douglas Farrin, Pvt. Eldon French and Pvt. Larry Butter- field, while I will be pilot and the one in full charge of the trip. We are taking plenty of oxy- gen, fuel, food, water and warm clothing. It is now ten o'clock in the morning, we in- struct someone to set off the rockets. There is a terrific roar, and I am set back in my seat so hard that l don't realize how fast we are going. Ar- riving outside of the gravitational region of the earth, I shut the motors off and coast the rest ,of the way to the moon at about the speed of light. U LITERARY There is no air now so I turn on the oxygen tanks. We can see a giant planet, but I cannot name it because I can't get a good look at it. The sun looks like a giant ball that is all afire, Hoat- ing in space. Nearing the moon now, I turn on the motors and put it in reverse, to try to slow up. CWe must land with the nose of the ship pointing upward so it will be easier to take off for the return trip back to earthj After a perfect landing we open the door and look around. Delmar Barker is the first one to jump out and he goes up in the air about 30 feet and when he finally comes down, he is almost scared to death. Now the rest of us are getting out with caution, we find that gravity on the moon is much less than on the earth and with even a little jump we will go several feet into the air. We find the surface of the moon is so hot where the sun is shining on it that we can cook bacon and eggs for our lunch on a hot rock. There are many great mountains here, some of them being sev- eral miles high. We make many tests of the ground on the moon's surface and Eldon French is busy for several hours taking all the pictures he can get. From the moon the earth looks exact- ly like a globe used to look to us in school. Dr. l-Iall, with the help of Larry Butterfield, is trying to find herbs to make new medicines and finds three strange-looking plants that show promise. Uranium is so plentiful that we are going to take some back to the earth with us. We are now getting ready to start back on our homeward trip, all are in the rocket ship but Del- mar, who has found some tiny men about the size of mice. Our time is running out so we can- not stop to talk with the tiny men, so with Del- mar aboard, we start the rockets and start off. Floating through space at about the speed of light, we are not long on the way home. We now find that Delmar has hidden three of the little men from the moon in his pocket, but it is too late to turn back. To my horror I sight the Pacific Ocean and we are heading directly for it. We try everything we can think of to turn the ship but to no avail, it is too late now, we must crash land. Splash! I wake up. My mother is standing over me with a pitcher of water. I am I2 in my own bed. It was all a dream, but how life- like it seemed! Erwoon Pnourr '54 On Christmas Shopping Here I am, home at last! My, but it feels won- derful to sink into my nice, comfy, easy chair! Never again will I go through such an experi- ence. No sir, I'll not wait another year to do my Christmas shopping at the last minute, and I'll tell you why. My back and head ache, my eye is turning black, and my poor old feet have corns as large as apples, if not larger. Why, there was such a mob downstreet, that it seemed as if the whole world was congregating in the stores! Have you ever been caught in a crowd like that? It's no joke, let me tell you. Everyone was bus- tling around, hurrying to do his last-minute buying, feet were stepping on everything and everyone, elbows were jabbing, and rough hands were shoving. I tried to buy a necktie for father and I ended up with a handkerchief. One has no choice in the direction that he goes! Next year I'll start my Christmas shopping in Septem- ber, no, I'll even start earlier than that-August! Well, here comes my friend, Sue! Come right in, Sue. How are you? Me? Oh, I'm Hne and dandy, feel just wonderful! I've been doing my last-minute Christmas shopping. Yes, isn't it grand! I love the last-minute hustle and bustle, don't you? It is really heartwarming to see hun- dreds of people scurrying around to end their shopping. Doesn't one get a marvelous sensation to see everyone so happy and jolly? Each one is goodnaturedly pushing and bumping another, ev- erybody seems to be laughing and talking among himself. What a merry time of year this is! What's that you say, Sue? Do my Christmas shopping early! Me? I should say not! VVhy, I wouldn't miss doing my last-minute shopping for all the world! Do my shopping early indeed! Where is your Christmas spirit, Sue? I would no more even think of doing my shopping early than I would of doing my Monday's washing on Sunday. GERALDINE Mrsnou '52 LITERARY Night Magic When the sun goes down behind the tall pines and the sky grows dark, we wonder what makes the light dim and fade away. It is Magicf, We can see the sun set and its bright red golden rays across the sky. Then the color fades and the sky is black. We see the lights come on in each and every house, the car lights go swishing by, and all colored lights in every store are turned on, one by one. The night is lit up by the millions of stars that come twinkling out. The old man in the moon makes his way slowly from behind a cloud. The snow shines and sparkles like crystals when the stars and moon shine down upon it. The tall pines sway in the wind and you can hear the snapping and cracking of the ice-covered limbs as the shadows creep across the snow. Now the northern lights reflect across the deep black sky or you may see a star go shooting through the sky. All the little animals ascend into the open when everything is quiet to look the night over. Then the stars and moon fade away and the sun rises from the east for another day. But to us the night is full of Magic. I Helped Build the U P Railroad VVhen there was talk of building a railroad from the East to the West, I was all ears. No one had to ask me to help because I volunteered before they had a chance. I thought they needed a few good men like me. Of course, then, I wasn't a little wizened up old man as I am now. I was a great big guy, all muscles, back in my younger days. Well, we started laying the railroad. Let me tell you that it certainly wasn't an easy job and we had just a certain length of time to finish it in. We all worked from morning to night, and we worked steady. Those Indians, they bothered us awfully, they kept tearing up the rails we had already laid and burning our supplies. It looked like they didn't like to see the road completed. Of course we had quite a few other difficulties too. Great numbers of our men quit 'cause they were afraid of the Indians and several got killed. I stuck to it though. No old Indians were going to scare me. A few days before we had the track completed, our big trouble came. I'll always remember that day 'cause it was my wife's birthday and I had forgotten to get her a present. I knew she would be hopping mad. Well, about the middle of the day we saw dust rising in the distance. At a closer glance we could see figures and we knew we were in for it. The Indians were coming again, a whole band of them. They outnumbered us ten to one. What shelter was offered, we took. They put up a great I-ight, but so did we. Our men were dropping one by one. Finally all were gone except a very few, but those Indians had a few less men than when they came also. Someone had to get us out of this dilemna and it was up to me. Inching my way along, I sneaked out through the woods, found my horse and came in behind them. I had tied a large bush to my saddle and it kicked up a lot of dust. I guess that those Indians thought that a whole army had come 'cause they sure left in a hurry. The railroad went through on time. PAULINE. TOLMAN '52, Visiting a Movie Star Have you ever gone to a movie showing your favorite actor and later wondered how you could possibly meet him? That was my experience. One day after I had finished my shopping, I casually dropped into a late matinee. The pic- ture being shown was The Call of the Wild and its hero was Iohn Derek. What a gorgeous hunk of man! Here was a person I would like to meet, but how could it be arranged? I finally decided to pay Hollywood a visit. I arrived on a noonday train exhausted and hungry. After I freshened up, I picked out a small restaurant near the studio of John Derek. During my lunch, I kept an eye on the stars who were wandering in, but John was not to be seen. I couldn't delay leaving the restaurant any long- er, I decided I would have to try some other way for an introduction. I was rising abruptly from my chair when all of a sudden there was a crash 13 LITERARY and a bang, and in the instant I was covered with tomato juice and chicken fricassee. Finally amid the laughter, I got the mess out of my eyes so I could see and much to my aston- ishment and his embarrassment, there stood John Derek in a waiter's uniform. My chance was here but what a looking sight I was! He was very sorry and offered to do what he couldg therefore I soon found myself in an actress' dressing room and in movie apparel with a much improved appearance. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, the curtain was going up! I was to be ready for my cue in five minutes. There had been a mistake, they thought the real star was in her own room instead of me. Realizing the trouble, I ran out the door to find someone, but no one was in sight. There was nothing but to go back to the room and do as I had been told. Then another knock was sounded on the door and a voice called, On Stage. I started to reply, but the owner of the voice had gone. As I walked out into the lights, my knees shook, for in front of me stood John. ,I didn't know what to do or say, but all of a sudden the cameramen saw I wasn't the original star and a great commotion was spread to all parts of the country by televi- sion. I heard someone shout, Cut the program off the air, just as I fainted. VVhen I was fully revived, john asked me for an explanation, so I told him the whole story, starting with the morning shopping, but I was ready to go home now. I had had all the movie star experience I wanted and the place I cared to see john Derek was on the screen with me in the audience. MADELYN FARRIN '52 Pre-game Jitters It is the day of the big game and the 16 year old finds school work diflicult. As he tries to understand Shakespeare, his eyes keep turning toward the window where the warm, bright sun- shine brings thoughts of the event of the after- noon. The muscles grow tense and he cannot sit 14 still as he thinks of the lanky southpaw who is going to pitch against him. At last the bell rings, he welcomes the chance to get up and walk to algebra class. There the thoughts of logarithms and base-hits mingle as the teacher asks questions and receives unintelli- gent answers. When recess arrives, he hurries out on the ball field to enjoy some inheld prac- tice, then comes more studying. I-Ie tries to do some algebra problems and finds himself draw- ing diagrams of a baseball field and writing bat- ting orders. Finally comes the last period, American Gov- ernment. This seems to be the longest class of the day as Caucuses, presidential elections, etc., are discussed. While others' thoughts are on world events, he is worrying about what his bat- ting average will be if he goes o for 4. Now the great moment arrives as all studying and troubles cease and he rushes to the basement to get that uniform that isn't torn at the knee. WELDON FRENCH '53 My Dream Recently I had a dream that was very strange but beautiful. I dreamed I was walking along a country road when suddenly there was a Hash of light and strains of music. Then I seemed to be floating in air. When my eyes cleared, I saw around me angels who were playing on harps and singing softly. All was very beautiful, but suddenly the music stopped 'and there was an unbearable silence. The skies around me were filled with a bright light that blinded and a pow- erful voice came to me saying, Do unto others, as you would have others do unto you. The music started and it seemed as if I were being carried through space. When all had faded away and my eyes were once more clear, I found my- self by the roadside. Soon after I awoke and lay wondering about this strange dream. I'm sure it must have meant something. Was it an omenP Do dreams come true in real life, or are they just a delusion?

They have loosed the fateful ranks That cut me like a sword. Those D's are marching on. I have seen them in the drawers Of the hundred circling fles While we await the teachers coming With a face of woeful smiles. I have read their righteous grades, You can see a D for miles. Those D's are marching on. Horrors, horrors, horrifulu jar Those D's are marching on. The D's are calling forth the trumpet That is sounding my defeat, They are passing me their D's and E's And an A l'll never meet Oh Pop, don't look when you sign this card Or be swift for me my feet.

Duke's lesson that day he had not read, He said English was a bore, Mrs. Hilton hit him over the head ' And knocked him to the floor.

Beve rly's Ford Bev, Norman, and her best friend Bill Left in her Ford from Stickney Hill, It had been in a wreck, and the gas was low But her sweet little Ford would really go. They were sailing along like a good Ford will Down in the valley and up over the hill, The road was smooth and made of tar And there was nothing in front except one car. It was an old Chev, so they gave it the bell And sailed right by as easy as - well! With her little foot pressed down to give it' gas There wasn't a car but what she could pass. She knew that Ford would really go In high, or second - or even low, So speeding along thru town after town She left the people spinning 'round and 'round. They went sailing along, skipping the tar When up behind them came another car. She looked in the mirror, and what she saw Sent her heart thumping, for this was the LAW! Now Bev is cute, she really is nifty But she couldn't argue when the Cop said y9fty, For the next few days she received her mail In a red brick building called Skowhegan jail. Bev's little Ford, if it had the power of speech This little story would like to teach: One who travels Life's Highway at too fast a pace Sometime, or other, loses more than a race. jovcs HUF11 '54 Taxes Tax, tax, that's all you hear. Couldn't we live without the fear That every time we turn around Another tax is to be found? Everytime we go into a store, The clerk says, One penny more, Makes no difference what we buy, There's still another tax to try. Our tax should be cut 25 per cent Or everyone will have their money spent The next thing to take is shirt or hat They can't get cash, our pockets are flat. Civics CLASS 1 5 POETRY ? Dates A girl is always late for dates The poor old boy just waits and waits. In days gone by he'd stand and smile And watch the girls go by in style, But that was back in forty-six That he loved to watch the passing chicks.

K GERALDINE Mxsnou '52 i BeverIy's Revenge Oh, somewhere in this great land the sun is shining bright, And somewhere there is laughter, and children's hearts are light, And somewhere lives are happy, and joy is all about, But there is no joy in Athens: Mighty Bev Cor- son had struck out. There were sad hearts in Athens for a week or more, 16 There were oaths and curses-every softball fan was sore. All her past fame was forgotten, she had com- mited a great crime, They called her Strike-out-Beverly, from the coach all down the line. The lane is long that never turns again, And fate, though fickle, oft gives another chance to men. So Beverly smiled-her face no longer wore a frown: The pitcher who had struck her out now came to town. All Athens was assembled, fourteen fans had come To see the pitiher who had put Beverly on the umg No one thought Athens had a chance, and with the setting sun Their hopes sank low-the other team was lead- ing, four to one. The last half of the ninth came with no change in the score, But when the nrst man hit safe, their hopes began to soar. The din increased, the roar of fourteen shouts was heard, When the pitcher hit the second batter, and walked the third. Then a dismal groan was heard-a scowl was on each face- As Beverly walked up, bat in hand, and slowly took her place. They hissed and hooted as they cried, Strike her out, But Beverly gave no sign that she had even heard the shout. The pitcher twirled-was that a rifle shot? A crack-and out in space you could see a tiny dot, Above the fence in center field, in rapid whirl- ing flight The ball sailed on-and was lost to sight. Oh, somewhere in this great land clouds may hide the sun, And somewhere there is no laughter, and chil- dren have no fun: And somewhere over unhappy lives there hangs a heavy pall, But Athens' hearts are happy now-for Beverly hit the ball. IUNIORS N. Finnemore, R. Poland, W. French, L. Cooley President WELDON FRENCH Viccepresident . ROBERT POLAND Secretary and Treasurer NORMAN FINNEINIORE We started our third year at Somerset Academy with a class of seven boys but soon lost three members who were unable to continue. A few days after We had adjusted ourselves to the regular routine, we elected our class olhcers and made plans to raise money for our class trip to be taken at the end of our senior year. The Junior class has been very active in all school activities, including school plays and all sports. Nearly all of the class tried out for, and played regularly, on the school baseball team last spring and on the basketball team this past season. 17 SOPHOMCRES g Sitting: P. Small, D. Barker, S.

We are looking forward to next year when we can initiate the new freshman class and have made plans to give them an even harder time than we had.

Pauline: Oh no, thirty days would be enough. 24 Mr. Eaton: What pine has the longest needles? Geraldine: The porcupine. Carroll: Gan you keep a secret? Christie: I'll tell the world. Robert asked Greta to join the school ping- pong tourney. I need to improve my form and speed, Greta replied.

This club is composed of all girls studying Home Economics and its purpose is to make plans for, and carry out any social functions that are connected with this department. The club also sponsors projects for the purpose of raising funds for the improvement of the Home Economics laboratory. The major project this year has been the sale of candy bars by the girls at recess and lunch periods. The department was in need of another electric sewing machine due to the increased size of the clothing class. The trustees agreed to purchase one if the girls would share in the expense, which they were able to do. Club members also rendered valuable assistance in soliciting and serving refresh- ments to members of the girls' and boys' basketball teams after the games. 26 CHEERLEADERS P. Small, M, Patterson, M. Tuttle, B. Finnemore This is the first year that Somerset Academy has had cheerleaders. They are Marion Tuttle, Pearl Small, Marguerite Patterson, and Beverly Finnemorc. New uniforms of green and white were purchased, but as they did not arrive until late in the season, we could he only at the last few games. Several students in the school helped to make up some cheers, but there was little time to practice them. At the close of the last basketball season we decided to gather together several new cheers and to start practice early next year. None of the four cheerleaders are graduating, so we will have a more experienced group next year. Also we are in hopes of having a basketball Hoor nearer home next season, and if this could he had, we would have great help in our cheers from the home crowd. Vile will have more cheers and more experience when basketball season rolls around again and are sure that our teams will appreciate our moral support. ln every game, YOU too, can help us cheer. SPORTS Sitting: H. Norman, C. Hall, R. Poland, W. French, R. Hayden Standing: D. Barker, N. Finnemore, E. Leighton, D. Farrin, L. Butterfield, E. French, E. Prouty The first sports event to take place at Somerset Academy for the school year 1951-1952 was basketball. The usual track meet of the fall term of school was not held this year, although the boys thought this one of the better sporting events of the year. The UKV League, to which we belong, did not hold the meet last fall, and it is not known at the present time if another track event will be held in the future. Again this year we had no basketball court of our own, and had to practice and play all of our home games in Harmony. We lost 1 1 league games and also the tournament game with Albion, but with the help of Mr. Braily, we managed to win one game from Solon this year. The team was made up of the following boys as guards and forwards, with two of them taking turns at center. ' Guards Forwards I. Norman D. Farrin N. Finnemore W. French C. Hall Pt. Poland D.

Davis, G, Mishou, J. Huff, N. Corson, B. Finnemore The girls' basketball squad started the season with a great handicap by losing five of its last year's players. Later, to our disappointment, Madelyn Farrin became injured and it was necessary for her to leave the team for the rest of the season. All home games and all practice sessions were, again this year, played in Harmony. The games were played mostly by inexperienced sophomores and freshmen except for one veteran forward, Pauline Tolman. Pauline and Beverly Corson represented the school at the All-Star game held at Bingham February 8. The team was made up of the following girls mostly playing these positions. Forwards Pauline Tolman Nathalie Corson Marguerite Patterson Pearl Small Susan Davis Marion Tuttle Guards Evonne Post Beverly Corson Joyce Huff Beverly Finnemore Christie Hayden Wanda Smith 29 SPORTS B. Corson, P. Tolman, W. French, R. Hayden Softball and baseball will open this season for the fourth year at Somerset Academy. Ten games of softball, and II games of baseball were played last seasong few were won but good sportsmanship was displayed at all times. We regret to say that we lost four of our softball and two of our baseball players by the '51 graduation. Also three more of last year's baseball players have discontinued school or transferred to other towns. VVe hope that some of those that dropped out of school can be with us again in the fall term of '5z. We hope to make up the losses with the several fresh- men tlrat will be out for these sports in the spring. 30 M W M W M W W W W W J W M I M e r ur Advertisers W1 nts enera O t S I f O l PATRONIZE PLEASE Ha rdwo re 6 n Groceries Maine Athens Instant Service ATHENS est wishes to Q X Q Q N E X Q Q Q Q Q Q S Q E S N Q Q Q S S X S Q Q S Q 3 Q X E X Q X Q Q 3 3 S X X X Q X SERVICEMEN L CA LO LL X4'.!'.f ..f'.f'.!'J'.f'.f'.f'.!'.f'.f'..f'.!'.f'.!'.f!7 ..f'.fJ'.f'.!'.f'.f'.!ff:f:f'.f'.f'..f'.f'.f'.f'.f' E Q . .
