School Song On the brow of a hill in South Portland Theres a spot that is precious to me, For there stands a modest brick building, The High School that you all may see. The forest, the fields, and the meadows, Broad extending southward lie, And in the distance dimly seen, Are white-capped mountains rising high, CHORUS Then here's to our High School forever, We pledge her our love and our might, For much it is that we owe her- South Portland, the Red and the White! lt is here that her voice has awakened Us to Knowledge's golden charm, And showed us that only high endeavor Can win the Victor's palm. For this and the happiness always That crowds in her schoolrooms so bright We'll bless thee, we'll love thee, forever, South Portland, the Red and the White! The Freshmen, the Sophomores, the Juniors The Seniors about to leave, Are banded together to serve her And loyally, faithfully live: And all that she asks of her children To blaze forth the Red and the Vwfhite Is that they will ever and ever Be true to themselves and the right. -Martha D.

And lol when I opened the gate I beheld-- the friends of yesteryear. With open arms they greeted me, and many a question asked of voyage, of cargo, and of distant port. Long stayed we at this pleasant inn. But when the time for parting came, and each sailor true must to his own good ship repair, we pledged each other with these words: The broad seas call. Far distant lands await us. With stead- fast heart we man our ships and trust to whatsoever gods there be our lives and fortunes. But when the cargo rich has found its port, and weary sailors long for home, the light shall guide us back, and we shall know full many a happy hour Within the portal of the swinging sign. - -'Ml 4 N'- F,-- Q U N T E N T SOUTH PORTLAND HIGH SCHOOL DEDICATION FOREWORD FACULTY SENIORS JUNIORS SOPHOMORES F R ESHM EN ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS LITERARY ADVERTISERS o -A1--go '--mf 5 law M4Nf63f4 SOUTH PORTLAND HIGH SCHOOL A l GEORGIA T, HAMILTGN Faculty Adviser Dedication To Georgia T, Hamilton--who has ever had keen interest in all activities of S.

FEENEY Class Adviser +i37M- From the President of the Class of '29 ELMER J. JOHNSON T 'is with mingled pleasure and regret that we, the class of l929, give our farewell message to S. P. H. S, We have accomplished that for which we have been striving for four years, a fundamental learning to lit us for our start in life. But we must give way to those who are working to attain the same goal, and a momentary feeling of regret comes as we realize that soon new forms will be seen in corridor, class, and assembly, and new players on field and court. We 'leave the school after four years, feeling that we have given the-best in us and hoping that we have kept up the standards for which S. P. H. S. is noted, We shall always be proud and happy to be able to boast that we are graduates of S. P. H. S., a school which stands for honesty, char- acter, and fair-play, and which has a state-wide reputation, It is a school of ideal size, small enough to enable the students to become well acquainted with each other, and for faculty and students to know each other, and yet it is large enough to vie with the keenest of com- petitors. S. P. H. S, recognizes the need for physical, mental, and moral development. It has the good sportsmanship of which any school may well be proud. Leaving the school that has done so much for us puts for a moment a cloud over the joys and happiness of receiving our diplomas, because we leave the place where we have met and made many friends. Most of us feel that the past years have been, and will remain, the happiest days of our lives. Freshmen, looking to the future, feel as though they have four long years of hard work ahead, and that the time for them to graduate will never come, but as the Sophomore and Junior years pass, they will realize that time is speeding more rapidly than they desire. And to the underclassmen who are some day to feel as we do, may we say these words: Every day at S. P. H. S. means a lot: don't let any opportunity escape you. Give the best you have in you for S. P. H. S. Then when you have left you will have only one regret-that is, the wish that you could have done more. It is within these walls of S. P. H. S. that we have worked together as one: in whatever success we have had in studies, debat- ing, athletics, or any other school activity, we have not tried to gain individual glory but have shared it with our classmates and school. As the representative of the class of 1929, I wish to thank the faculty and those connected with school activities for the help always so willingly given in any branch throughout this period of years. Each and every member of this class leaving S. P. H. S. in June wishes to express appreciation for all that has been done to lit him for his place in life.

WPI 4410'- SENIOR CLASS PLAY Senior Class Play 66 HE CLEANUP may be an illustration of the future of some of the members of the class of 1929, The theme of the play I had to do with the attempts of Nina Buckmaster to run her campaign for mayor upon strictly open and upright principles. Rely- ing upon the politician, unscrupulous as many believed, Butch McKenna, Mrs. Buckmaster suffers the loss of her heretofore enthus- iastic supporters in the women's party. Her young husband, torn between rage at his wife's determination to win the campaign and desire that she shall not be a quitter, loses one position after another that he may, unknown to her, champion her cause. Mrs. Buckmaster gamely borrows money to meet her expenses and, betting upon herself. learns that she has lost everything. 'iButch, however, who has been pulling the wires, reports the situation saved. Dot MacPhail, as Nina, did a rather trying part in excellent style and was ably supported by Emerson Hunt as Mr. Buckmaster. The two met rage with rage and later very skillfully interpreted a reconciliation. Mel Rice, as Butch, gave a clever interpretation of the methods of the ward politician. We shall remember Mel's Ucorned beef dinners and the several 'iunluckiest days in his life. Ralph Percival seemed perfect as Willie, Nina's brother. Ralph acted all the time and had his audience with him from first to last. Mary Desmond was delightfully feminine in her speech of noti- fication, while Betty Tryon and Geraldine Tanner ably portrayed Mrs. Collender and Mrs. Aswell. Clayton Shepley, as Brooks Cadwell, with his nice black eye, made himself appear as unscrupulous as some believed Butch to be, while Beth Millington made a fine campaign manager.

Tlie Junior Class ITH all due respect for the other three classes in our dear high school, We must admit that our class has been very active this year. To begin the season in the right way, Joe Morrison, Dick Davis, Jimmy Gallagher, Eddie Nelson, Willard Wallace, Don Jensen. and Padge Mooney went out for football and came back Haunting HS. P. letters. Then at the close of the season Joe Morrison was elected captain for next year. Then came the try-outs for the annual school play. Practically everyone in the Junior Class answered the call, and as a result, Doris MacPhee was picked as the Leading Lady, while Willard Wallace, Ralph Smith, Geraldine Vayo, and Philip Freeman all had supporting parts, which were extremely well done. Soon after Christmas the basketball season began, both for the boys and the girls. Eddie Nelson and Al Urbano starred on the team that won the State Championship, and Len MacPhee was one of the first string. lt seemed as if the whole girls' team was made up of Juniors, Captain-elect for next year, Eleanor Rice. high-scorer, Dottie Hayes, Doris MacPhee, Corinne Strout, Valma Haugaard, and Elsie Cobb all won their letters and went through a line season. Ruth Berdeen, Frances Wheeler, Barbara Somers, and Inez Goodier were also on the first squad and played in a number of games. The Juniors were Well represented on the Track Squad with Ralph Smith, Alvin Messer, Raymond MacLean, Robert Lane, Don Stilphen, Don Jensen, Willard Wallace, Ed Winston, Dick Davis and Franklin Skillin, all winning letters and some of these men placing first at the Four-Cornered Meet. ln the Student Club Play Melba Gifford, Pauline Carney, Astrid Kjeldsen, and Eileen Roux, all of the Junior Class, took part and did fine. ln the Oratorical Contest, Willard Wallace won third place. He received first prize in the Clayton M. Ward Prize Speaking Con- test, Pauline Carney winning second place for the girls. The Juniors again shone when Wallace captured first prize in Class A in the County Y. M. C. A. Speaking Contest. The Junior Class has also shone in the literary activities, On the Echo Board we have Dick Davis, one of the 'itwin editors, and Betty Davidson, Don Jensen, Willis Murdock, Willard Wallace, and Doris MacPhee: While on the HEADLIGHT Board we have the Editor- in-Chief, Dick Davis, associate editors, Astrid Kjeldsen, Geraldine Vayo, Al Urbano, and Mary Greely, and class representative, Melba Gifford, We feel that the Juniors have helped in putting South Portland High on the map this year in a variety of ways.

This year, however, as Sophomores, we have commanded attention. At the opening of the school year, George Nlarkowich was elected president by a bigger majority than Hoover. He deserved the position and has since proved his capability in discharging his duties in this capacity. Thanksgiving Day the Sophomore Assembly was presented to the school under the direction of Miss Hamilton, our adviser. Ask anyone in school to name a few of the best assemblies of the year and the Sophomore Assembly is bound to be somewhere in the list. As the football team takes the field for the first regular game, and as We look over the line-up, we see many Sophomores. Bandy Gowell, a regular in the backlield: Bill'l Curran, one of the best and trickiest broken field runners of this section: Keith Huntress, another backfield man, one of the most consistent ground-gainers on the team: Lanky Smith, who grabbed down many long passes of the opposi- tion which would have been gains if completed. Mac Mac- Donough, substitute end, who saw service in quite a number of the games, also brought cheer to the hearts of Caper fans through his effective work. Then we come to basketball, and as the team takes the floor to defend the State Championship against Old Town, we see the face of Bill Curran, who is suflicient in himself as a representative of any class. We also see Lanky Smith ready to jump into the center berth if the necessity should arise. And who is that cheerleader who is so outstanding? None other than our president, George Markowich. We also have our share of orators UD. For as we look over the line-up of Coach Jenkins' debating cohorts we see Bailey Young, Willard Crane, Jack Horton, James Desmond and Keith Huntress. Track men? Oh, yes, We have our share of these as well. Bud Coombs, who has been leading while the others were follow- ing in the l00O-yard run: 'APete Roach, who bids fair to equal the reputation of A'Ben fhis brothery, our captain of last year: UNorm Myott, who tops the hurdles in line fashion: Keith Huntress QKeith seems to be one of our strongholdsj, the school's best bet in the art of high-jumping: Stew Mathews, one of our milers. These are all letter men and all consistent point scorers. Although at this time of writing the baseball team has not yet been formulated and one can never tell, it seems probable that we shall have at least two representatives in 'AI-Sill Curran and Lanky Smith, veterans of last year. The Sophomore Class also has a few song birds of whom it is justly proud, Nancy Peabody, Annie Hackett and Gloria Rand, whose tale.nts are called for in many an assembly. Thus we close the record of the Sophomore Class. We think it speaks for itself. 55 'Mi 5614'- SOPHOMORE CLASS Angell, Maurice Berdeen, John Boomer, Ruel Brown, Donald Brownell, George Brown, Wilbur Cole, Norman Conroy, Thomas Coombs, Ellsworth Crane, Thomas Curtin, Ernest Damren, Edward Curran, William Darling, Linwood Desmond, James Dingley, Paul Doughty, Edgar Dyer, Donald Ellis, Gilman Eallona, Edward Foshay, Arthur Eoshay, Ezbon Ereeman, Philip Gowell, Ralph Hamilton, Herbert Harris, Philemon Harrison, Alton Herrick, Wilbur Horton, John Huntress, Keith Sophomore Boys Johnson, Arvid Keenan, Joseph Knight, Thomas lVlacVane, John Maloney, William Markowich, George Massengale, Henry Mathews, Perry McDonough, Donald Moulton, Carl Myatt, Norman Plummer, Robert Ramsey, Charles Richards, James Roach, William Robinson, George Setzer, Malcolm Shaw, Bernard Smith, Charles Thomas, William Thompson, Harold Varney, Henry Webber, Kenneth Weikel, Eugene Welch, Clifford Williams, Fred Winn, Fred Winn, Prank' Young, Bailey ,M 57 :W Anderson, Dorothy Bartlett, Arlene Beal, Eva Beal, Ruth Benson, Nina Brackett, Ruth Brawn, Myrna Bruns, Marion Bryant, Wilma Busick, Alice Butler, Florence Carter, Bernice Carter, Elsie Collins, Martha Cook, Alice Cook, Gwendolyn Crowley, Florence Davis, Minnie Densmore, Faith Densmore, Myrtle Folley, Bernice Gardiner, Ruth Glazier, Geraldine Greene, Elaine Hackett, Annie Hannaford, Elouise Hasey, Elva Hellman, May Hodgdon, Elizabeth Hooper, Minnie King, Evelyn Knapp, Dorothy Lynch, Hazel MacDonald, Elizabeth Sophomore Girls MacPhee, Evelyn Maloney, Dorothy Melcher, Dorothy Oerter, Charlotte Peabody, Betty Peabody, Nancy Pettingill, Evelyn Phillips, Vivian Preble, Annie Rand, Gloria Rogers, Doris Roux, Marion Sawyer, Ruth Sholes, Reta Skinner, Alice Small, Alwilda Smith, Louise Smith, Mary Soule, Frances Stanley, Doris Stover, Laura Timberlake, Alice Tracy, Bertha Vickerson, Dorothy Tucker, Virginia Vayo, Regina Wadsworth.

S. embarked on its annual voy- age last September, it found its deck crowded and jammed with 195 gobs, strong. This was the largest group of re- cruits who have ever signed up for the cruise, and doubtless the ship would have been wrecked with such a crowd, had it not been for the superior quality and adaptability of these said 195, in helping run the ship. At an early date in the fall the Senior officers entertained these sailors, who called themselves the Class of 1932, at a reception in the gym. lt was a pleasant party, the color green being very much in evidence, and 1932 was made to feel at home on the ship at once. Of course Algebra, Latin, History and other things necessary to running a ship successfully, were early introduced, but recreation also had its part and football in the fall was the leader: 1932 sent out four men for the squad who stuck through the season, playing on the second team, they were: Jones, McCarthy, Mayo and Good. Next came debating and in this activity, 1932 supplied some good material in Don Newell and Lawrence Keene. Before we went much farther, we realized the need of organiza- tion and getting together on January 29, we chose as officers: Presi- dent, Don Newell: Vice-President, Bobby Rideout: Secretary, Barbara Mooney: Treasurer, Phil Doughty. These proved right choices in every case. The boys' basketball team was well represented from 1932, the whole second team being composed of them. Those on the team were Graffam, Jones, Doughty, St. John, and Moore. They came through the season without losing a game and certainly showed promise of being future tournament champions. On the girls' team, Gretchen Nickerson proved an outstanding player and has earned her letter. Those who went out for track from 1932 were McCarthy, Lane, Quinn, Good and Dinsmore. Newell and Bernice Dean competed in the Clayton Ward Prize Speaking Contest, Miss Dean winning first for girls and later enter- ing the County Contest at Deering. Quinn, McCarthy, Doughty, Jones, and Pride shone in baseball. Besides going out for these various activities, we have not for- gotten the aforesaid Algebra, Latin and History, etc., because we have had a goodly number on the honor roll, at one time leading in per- centage over the other classes. So the year has been smooth sailing on the most part for the good ship S. P. H. S. and 1932. We have been proud of our school which has so brilliantly dis- tinguished itself this year when engaged in friendly conflicts with the other schools, and now we hope that we can embark upon another year with undiminished numbers, capable from this year's experi- ence to bring fame and honor to S.

As the HEADLIGHT goes to press two more debates are planned with Edward Little High of Auburn. The debating team was comprised of the following: Willard Wallace, James Desmond, Keith Huntress, Bailey Young, Lawrence Keene, Donald Newell, Jack Horton, Emerson Hunt. Seven of the eight debaters will be in school next year so South Portland is assured of a good team for 1929 and 1930. 1 Coach Jenkins has done a praiseworthy job in coaching the team. All the debaters enjoyed working with him, and they have all benefited greatly from his instruction. Next year South Portland is to enter three debating leagues, the Bates League, Bowdoin League, and the University of Maine League. The support from the student body was better than it has been years previously, but we are hoping for more support next year. Debating is certainly worthy of support, if anything is, in school act1v1t1es. +4166 144+- The F french Club HE French Club this year has had many faithful followers and many entertaining and enjoyable meetings. At the first meeting the following ofhcers were chosen: President, Betsy Nickels: Vice-President, Alice Doughty: Secretary, Elizabeth Tryon: Treasurer, Ralph Smith. It was voted to hold a meeting once a month and a committee was chosen to provide enter- tainment for these meetings. This committee was composed of Eliza- beth Davidson, Virginia Merritt. and Melba Gifford, The entertainments provided were very interesting and amusing. One especially, the Christmas Party, proved one of the most enjoy- able, with Willard Wallace Cyou should see and hear him portray the excited Frenchmanj as Le Bon Homme and Norman Hersey as Pere Fouettard. Many instructive and entertaining pictures of France and things pertaining to France were also shown at some of the meetings. At other meetings, when only a few were present, French games were played and what brainstorms arose to find the French words for our common everyday foods! It is surprising how difficult the easy game of Authors becomes when English changes to Frenchl W The French Club certainly owes its success to Mademoiselle Davidson and her most efficient helper, Corinne Lord, and their untir- ing efforts to obtain students to give readings, sing, act or something- or-other. Everyone who was not rushed to death gladly cooperated with them and as a result, the French Club became very popular with the French students. -4Pi6714fr Student C lub Play lSS EMILY WESTON decides to adopt a daughter, and, conflding in the family physician, is advised by him to con- sider Peg Southworth, the daughter of an old friend. At the same time Madge Fleming, another Peg, is brought to Miss Weston by a poor foreign woman, who no longer is able to care for the girl. As a third prospect for adoption Aunt Euphelia presents Mar- guerite Fraser, the third Peg, a younger cousin of Miss Emily's. The three girls are given a try-out at Miss Weston's. Peg, leaving under unjust suspicion of theft, again gains access to the house, clears herself, discloses Aunt Euphelia's injustice, and after uniting Miss Weston with her lover, is adopted by them. Aunt Euphelia is cared for at a comfortable home. Madge turns out to be the long-lost daughter of a wealthy Mrs. Barclay. The cast was as follows: Emily Weston, Betsy Nickels: Aunt Euphelia, Laura Stoverg Marguerite, Pauline Carney: Madge, Betty Meriam: Peg, Melba Gifford: Sarah, Eileen Rouxg Lizzie, Minnie Hooper: Mrs. Conti, Astrid Kjeldseng Mrs. Barclay, Wilma Smith. +i63JP4+' The Science Club HE Science Club, which was organized three years ago by Miss Chapman and Mr. Cwraves, is one which furnishes both recrea- tion and education. This club has visited many Portland business concerns during the past year, among them being the American Canning Company, Adams Studio, the Portland Press Herald, the Central Fire Station and the Deering Ice Cream Company. It has also held meetings at the school and has been entertained with moving pictures furnished by the courtesy ofthe Y. M. C. A. The Science Club consists of pupils of the chemistry, general science and biology classes.

Nl 7014'- Boys' Qlee Club HIS year was a signal one in music, especially vocal music. For many years South Portland had felt the need of a Glee Club, and last September, under Miss Libby's management, our Hrst club for boys was organized. The Boys' Cwlee Club has been a success from the start. Every- body was eligible at first, and as many as 120 members came out. The number was weeded down gradually, until about 60 voices re- mained, an unusually large number, which testifies to the great in- terest of the school in this activity. The results of the Glee Club training this year have been ex- tremely gratifying. Selected quartets have appeared several times in assemblies, and one of our assemblies featured the Glee Club in sev- eral selections which we are sure none of you have ever forgotten. They sang the Anvil Chorus, from ll Trovatoref' by Verdi, the A'Sailor's Song, by Hegar, and, fittingly, the Basketball Song, by Parlser. The boys were somewhat handicapped this year for lack of a good accompanist, but the results obtained in spite of this were extraordinary, Next year Miss Libby will proceed on a different plan from that used this year. Instead of chorus singing entirely, individual singing is to be featured. Miss Libby feels that the boys have advanced far enough to begin part-singing, and we may well look forward to many musical treats next year. The success of the Boys' Glee Club is extremely gratifying and complimentary to South Portland. It is another evidence that the Capers stand back of all their activities, and are always ready to put a new project over the top, whatever it may be. Success to the Glee Club next year as it had this. 'NI71I44'- The Qrclmestm HE orchestra of this school has had a successful season despite the lack of several instruments. The attendance at rehearsals has shown a marked increase this year and much progress has been made. Much of this is due to the efforts of Miss Ruth B. Libby, the director. The orchestra this year has been assisted by wind instruments from the Broadway Grammar School. The orchestra has played at the school plays, contests, and at graduation. At all of these functions it has proved an important part of the program. The talent shown in the orchestra this year equals that of pre- vious years and promises to develop to a high degree in the future. The members of the orchestra are as follows: Violins: Betty Peabody, Henry Massengale, Lilly Hjort, Alice Skinner, Harriet Sylvester, Eleanor Dudley, Rita Sholes, Carolyn Tollafson, Reta Timberlake, Myrtle Kierstead, Harry Schendel, Ralph Hayes, Eleanor Lowell. Cellos: Valeria Carignan, Byron McElwee. Mandolin: Russell Hall. Banjo: Barbara Somers. Clarinets: Earle Richards, Leon Konecki. Trumpet: John Konecki. Trombone: John Campbell.

Ward Prize Speaking Contest was held Friday evening, April 5. This contest was attended by a large number of people, all of whom seemed pleased with the speaking. It is estimated that nearly seven hundred were in attendance. Willard M. Wallace took Hrst place for the boys with his read- ing, The Tell-Tale Heart. Miss Bernice I. Dean was awarded first prize for girls with her reading, Midshipman Easy. Second place for the girls was won by Miss Pauline N. Carney with Sidney Carton's Death. James R.

Carney Q1feen Stockings HIS year's school play, Green Stockings, added new laurels to the histrionic reputation of our high school and further established Miss Dresser as one of the foremost play coaches in the state. The plot is derived from the old English custom of forcing an elder sister to wear green stockings at the wedding of any younger sister who Weds before she does. Celia Faraday had twice been sub- jected to the humiliation and when a third time threatened, became desperate and on the spur of the moment, announced her engagement to an imaginary Colonel Smith. This was a surprise to her family, and she in turn was more surprised when a real Colonel Smith showed up. Complications develop, replete with many humorous moments. Finally, Celia married her imaginary Colonel and thus escaped the ordeal of appearing in a third pair of Green Stockings. When Celia, the big sister of the family, revolted, the house- hold was without a standby. Doris MacPhee as Celia enacted this role in a very admirable manner. The cast was as follows: Celia, Doris MacPhee: Evelyn, Ger- aldine Vayo, Madge, Helen Kane: Phyllis, Wilma Bryant: Aunt Ida, Laura Stover: Colonel Smith, Norman Herseyg William Faraday, Willard Wallace: Admiral Brice, Bailey Young: Tarver, Ralph Smith: Jimmy Raleigh, Bill Anderson: Henry Steele, Phil Free- man: 'Martin, Karl Oerter. 44174140- AB POSSE AD ESSE-FROM POSSIBILITY TO ACTUALITY 1.4,,f 75 jg.. -Mi 76 M-- HEADLIGHT BOARD The Headlight Board EDITOR-IN-CHIEF ELLSWORTH DAVIS, '29 Business Manager CLAYTON SHEPLEY, '29 Literary NORMAN HERSEY, '29 CHARLES HESELTINE, '29 ELIZABETH WARD, '29 MARGARET HINDS, '29 MARY GREELEY, '30 Art ALFRED URBANO, '30 ASTRID KJELDSEN, '30 School Activities MARY DESMOND, '29 KENNETH RUSSELL, '29 GERALDINE VAYO, '30 WINNIFRED POHLE, '29 Sports GENEIVE HORSLIN, '29 RALPH HASKELL, '29 Class Representatives MELBA GIFFORD, '30 JAMES DESMOND, '31 PHILIP GOOD, '32 Typing CHRISTINE PARKER, '29 EDITH CooK, '29 ELIZABETH HANSEN, '29 BEATRICE RODICR, '29 Assistant Business Manager BETSEY NICKELS, '29 -.reef 77 jim' Echo Board Members Editors ELLSWORTH DAVIS, '29 MURIEL WALKER, '29 Literary ELIZABETH DAVIDSON, '30 Alumni ROSAIVIOND MELCHER, '29 Athletics DONALD JENSEN, '30 Business Manager WILLIS MURDOCK, '30 Exchanges WILLARD WALLACE.

A word concerning the history of the Echo as a newspaper may not be out of place. In the fall of 1925, students and faculty agreed that a newspaper would express the life of S. P. H. S. better than the magazine. Next came the question, Can we pay for it? Mr. Beal advised making the trial. Under Virginia Dudley our paper became a three-column newspaper with a wide circulation among the stu- dents. Change of name was considered, but the Echo had become a part of S. P. H. S. tradition. The next year Edward Cireely became Editor-in-chief, and very efliciently managed the paper. We are proud to learn that Ed is now editor-in-chief of the University of Maine Campus. In l927 Carolyn Thompson followed Cireely as editor. The paper had a successful year under her management, and it was largely through the efforts of Calm and NAI that the change to the Hve- column bi-weekly was made, though it was not until the new editors were chosen that the change went into effect. This year, with Ellsworth Dick Davis and Muriel Walker as editors, the Echo has had a busy year. The change of form has meant more work. The editors have tried to give careful attention to the make-up of the paper. The Christmas number was a special number appropriate to the season and proved popular with the stu- dent body. Willis Murdock, the business manager until March, moved away from S, P. His place was filled by James Desmond for the rest of the year. As the HEADLIGHT goes to press the new board has been chosen, but from the many applications that have been received it seems probable that the new board will be a strong one. We wish them the best of success and hope they may make our Echo first next year. - 'f-1 ,Tc If +41 79 10+- Assemblies T the beginning of the year Mr. Beal appointed a committee from the faculty to supervise the assemblies of the year,- Miss Dresser, chairman, Miss Chapman and Mr. Jenkins. Under their direction the assemblies have been many and varied, and thoroughly enjoyed by the student body. Little outside talent has appeared, both faculty and students agreeing that the auditorium is the place for student participation. Surely no student who has really wished to appear on the stage has been denied the chance. Much unsuspected talent has been unearthed, owing to the vigi- lant eye of our fair-haired coach and our equally fair-haired post- graduate friend, Philip Anderson, who, with his usual versatility, has assumed the role of chairman, director of opera, barker or what- ever the situation demanded. Emerson Hunt, called to the front through an intense CFD inter- est in girls' basketball, made a speech which let him in for trouble all the rest of the year. Ralph Percival, making his debut in the Senior Assembly, surprised us all with his talent. Bud Coombs, in the Sophomore Assembly, won a reputation for a comedian, in spite of the fact that he was so sad that even Mark could not cheer him up. Stew Call, at the same time, gave us just a hint of what his vocal organs might be coaxed to do. At the Junior Assembly Forrest Hamilton handed us one of the greatest surprises of the year. Tommy Martelle must look to his laurels. Space allows mention of only a few of the outstanding assem- blies of the year. The HEADLIGHT Assembly holds the honor of including the most participants, fifty-two students appearing on a program, sug- gesting the different departments of the yearbook. The Senior Assembly was a laugh-producing entertainment, which featured the troubles of a theatrical manager in Ending talent. He surely found some in Hersey, Percival, Rosamond Melcher and Mary Desmond. The Thanksgiving talent was a mixture of grave and gay. Among its successful features was the song in costume by Gloria Rand, Nancy Peabody, Annie Hackett, and Bertha Tracy. One of the cleverest bits of entertainment was the Christmas Assembly. The play, Christmas Eve in a Toy Shop, was a treat. Astrid Kjeldsen made a very good Jumping Jack. The rest of the Toyland people certainly knew their lipstick. Next was a scene of Santa filling the kiddies' stockings. Willard did nobly. The Jolly -mf SO We Glee Clubs did the honors. The great success of this assembly was attributed to the work of Miss Davidson, Miss Lord and Miss Nesbett. The great Arland-Beatrice Revue was an exceedingly popular production, the Battle of Music proving the hit of the show. Juggler Berdeen showed a bit of his uncanny talent, and Gloria, the beauti- ful eyed, charmed her audience. Sweethearts on Parade, by Per- cival and Co., was heartily applauded. Shorty Richardson brought down the house with his cornet solo. Our athletic rallies have been many. We hope they have told our athletes that we are proud of them. One of the best was that when the Brown Cup came to us the second year. Mr, Ellis pre- sented the cup to Mel, who in turn gave it into the keeping of our principal for the school. Too much thanks and praise cannot be given 'iNed Marshall for the line way in which he has backed every entertainment. If it were humanly possible to do so, '4Ned has responded to every re- quest for accompanist in any class or any group. Here is real talent and the right spirit of cooperation. Another big factor in our successes, especially in the athletic rallies, has been the work of our cheer leader, Mark Beginning the year with little experience, Mark made a real business of cheer leading until, at the Bates Tourney, he was the cheer leader of them all. His unfailing good humor has won the hearts of the student body. They like to wait for the echo, Besides this he has the earmarks of a real entertainer, as some of his Jewish impersonations have proved. Several interesting films have been shown, among them: The Reawakening of Rip Van Winkle, and HForest and Service. Looming large among our big days was that upon which His Excellency, Ralph O. Brewster, visited us to make the presentation of the best-player trophy to Mickey. Governor Brewster com- plimented South Portland on its rapid growth, and Mr. Buck of the Portland Evening News, spoke of the clean sportsmanship of S, P. H. S. A real spirit of cooperation has been prevalent this year in re- gard to assemblies. Some of us like to appear before an audience, some lind it a real task, but few have refused to do their bit. It's a great chance for us to obtain a bit of training and the mem- bers of 1929 feel thankful for every opportunity they have taken of appearing before an audience. We urge the underclassmen to use this time which the school gives you not only for entertainment but for ypur own training. +181 iw- Raw' A ' MZAQAQI L .

Our next game at Lewiston was one of the hardest on the schedule and we were held to a six to six tie, Captain Miller and sev- eral other players on the bench with injuries. After crushing Sanford with a score of 39-7, we met Thornton, one of the best teams in the Conference. Thornton scored by a lield goal during the second period, but in the last half, South Portland determined to win. South Portland scored a touchdown on a pass, Curran to Rice, but failed in the kick for the goal. The stars of this game were Captain Miller, Rice, Huntress, and Curran, and for Thornton, Hanson and Wood. On October 29 South Portland ran through Westbrook's team, with Morrill, Miller and Rice as outstanding players. On the following Saturday, a very wet day, South Portland, overcoming a six-point lead, defeated Deering in the last half of the game. Cappy Johnson kicked two out of three goals and played a good game at tackle, while Morrill and Huntress also were pillars of strength, On November 14 Portland entered South Portland's strong- hold and handed Portland one of its worst defeats in years, before one of the greatest crowds in the history of South Portland. After getting a touchdown in the first period, Portland made a stand and held South Portland for two periods. Then South Portland rallied to get thirteen points in the final period and left the score at 19-0. This was Port1and's second defeat at the hands of South Portland in two years. For the final game, the Capers journeyed to the Mill City on November 24th, and lost by an unlucky break by a score of 6-O. South Portland dropped to second place in the Conference. Then Thornton and Biddeford met to ight out the Conference and decide the standing. Thornton won from Biddeford, and this put South Portland, Biddeford, and Thornton in a triple tie for the Conference title of Southwestern Maine. Five of South Portland's football stars received places on the All-Southwestern Maine Conference Eleven for the season of 1928, Those winning berths were Captain Miller, Curran, Johnson, Rice and Concannon, all of whom received gold football charms for their great work this season.

The sea- son has proved that the boys' basketball teams were able to do the seemingly impossible, retain the State Championship for two consecutive years. The team has added materially to our fast-growing supply of trophies. Besides the Brown Cup, we have the Conference trophy, the Bates Trophy, and the Eastern Maine Basketball award. At Bates Tournament we played Brunswick for our first game and after playing the first half about even, the score being 13-13, South Portland woke up and played basketball, the Hnal score being 44-17. Pate picked Portland to be our next victim in the semi-finals, and we downed them 26-20. Our Hnal game was with one of the smallest but fastest teams in the Tournament, Cheverus, but we defeated them, having an ad- vantage in height and experience, our team playing superb basketball with i'lVlickey Miller playing a great defensive game, although suf- fering from an injury that kept him limping. The score was 31-22. This is the fourth time that South Portland has won at the Bates Tournament and twice that we have been runners-up. March 23 we played Old Town for the State Championship and defeated them after they had held us for three periods. The first period ended 6-2 against us. the second period 11-10, the third period 13-12, and then the cloud burst and it was all over before Old Town knew what it was all about, the hnal score being 25-15.

Track HE first meet of the year held in our gym went off with a bang before a huge crowd, three records being smashed and the Caper tracksters winning, 77-64 over Deering. Stars of this meet were Messer, breaking the mile record in five minutes and eight- een seconds and also winning the high jump, Captain McBrady came through winning in the 300-yard and coming in with two sec- ond places, one in the 600-yard run, also in the 20-yard dash. McBrady broke the former record held by Capt. Fogg of last year in forty-two and two-fifths seconds in the 600-yard run. Peter- son of Deering broke the record for 250-yard run, formerly held by Deware of South Portland, in thirty-six and four-fifths seconds. Smith also came into the spotlight, winning two first places. In our next, Thornton, we defeated them 99M -4916. Again two records were smashed and one tied. MacLean broke the record for the 125-yard dash in sixteen and four-fifths seconds. Lane smashed the record in the 250-yard run in thirty-six and three-fifths seconds. Milliken of Thornton tied the high jump with a jump of five feet seven inches. South Portland won two out of three relays in the junior and senior divisions. We won nine first places in this meet. Next we met Portland on our own track, but lost by a score of 100-41, losing all three relays. Captain McBrady, MacLean, Smith, and Davis were the outstanding men of the Capers. ln the four-cornered meet South Portland came in last, with 31M points, but made five first places in thisqmeet, and, though finishing in the last place, made a fine showing. Our team then went to the Bowdoin Meet and placed in only one event, that being in the mile run, Messer finishing second, Our team ended a fine season on the indoor track, Coaches Mahoney and Nason deserve plenty of credit for the team turned out this year.

The first game with Thornton at Thornton to be played, April 20th, was postponed on account of rain. On April 23rd, Sanford played us on our own diamond, win- ning a close struggle after scoring four runs in the lucky seventh, where errors on our team proved costly. In the first inning, South Portland scored a run by Curran on a hit by MacPhee. Sanford failed to score. The second and third innings were scoreless with a pitching duel between Miller, South Portland, and Downs, Sanford. In the fourth inning, Sanford scored a run while South Portland scored two, making the score three to one, our favor. In the nfth, Curran again scored a run and in the sixth both sides went scoreless. The seventh proved fatal to South Portland when Sanford with the Caper errors garnered four runs for the Sanfordites. In the eighth and ninth. South Portland didn't seem to hit in the pinches and Sanford failed to score, the final score being five to four, in favor of Sanford. Our next game with Thornton was postponed on account of rain and will be played later in the season. While the basketball team was in Washington, South Portland played the Hebron Reserves. Davis pitched, with Morrison and Hill alternating at the receiving end. South Portland was coached by Shorty Richardson while Dick Gustafson was with the basket- ball team in Washington. With the whole team back from Wash- ington, South Portland promises to have a good season. South Portland, although losing the Hrst game in the Telegram League, has the material, and Coach Gustafson is sure to have a team that will finish a good season of baseball to complete the sports of '29 for South Portland High School. 91 -'NI9210' TEAM GIRLS' BASKETBALL Left to right, back rnw4Mg1'.

Capt Rosamond Melcher, Doris Hayes, Doris MacPhee, Front row-Corrine Strout, Eleanor Girls, Basketball HIS year the girls have had a very successful season. Their new coach, Miss Beatrice Nesbett, has amply filled the place left vacant by Coach Louise Baker. She has Worked wonders with the team. When Miss Nesbett called out the candidates. only seven letter girls answered the call: Captain Rosamond Melcher, i'Dottie Hayes, Eleanore Rice, Elsie Cobb, Corinne Strout, Beth Millington, and i'Dot McPhee. Yet with only this number of experienced players, Coach Nesbett developed a team as good as South Portland teams always are. Left with only four regulars and no guards, she had to develop two subs for this section. Corinne Strout and Valma Hau- gaard are guards of whom any team should feel proud. This is Valma's first season as guard. She was out for side center in her Freshman and Sophomore years, In Dottie Hayes and Eleanore Rice we have an ideal pair of forwards. Dottie captured the honors for individual scoring dur- ing the season, coming out more than nfty points ahead of the run- ner-up. Ricie, her teammate, struck to third place. We expect much from this pair next year. The team could not have done so well if they had not possessed such a versatile center as Elsie Cobb. When one of the guards was disabled, Elsie stepped into her berth and continued the good work. ln the center her control of the tap was a big factor in the many victories. Under Captain Rosamond Melcher, the team made a fine record. Rosamond surely is a great leader. At her position of side center she outplayed every one of her opponents and helped materially to give her team the fine morale that it has shown throughout the season. Though the girls lost two games to Deering, they were the most thrilling games of the year. The team put up a game fight and there should be no regret that they lost. They went through a great sea- son and came out with flying colors. Eight games won, two lost! This year for the first time the Telegram published an all-star team, South Portland High School had the honor of placing three girls on this team: namely, Rosamond Melcher, Doris Hayes, and Corinne Strout. The l'Caperettes iilled three places out of six, the largest representation of any school. .M 93 149. To start the season, the girls won from Lewiston in a cleanly- fought game. By great teamwork they rolled up 41 points to their opponents' 20. Next the girls traveled to Sanford. The girls went on a ram- page and won 40-2. Ricie and HDottie spent a fine afternoon on the polished surface. Deering at Deering! This was a game never to be forgotten. How those girls did fight! The outcome of this contest was always uncertain until the last whistle. Then it was found that Deering had emerged victor by a 26-20 score. The Caperettes had fought gamely. This year Portland was not a rival to be sneezed at. Over at Portland they gave the Caper team a tussle that was one. ln the last quarter, however, Dottie began making the baskets which put u.s out in front. 20-l l. Westbrook came to visit South Portland on February 9 and re- ceived a warm welcome. Coach Nesbett sent in all her subs in this game, The result was 58-18 in our favor. The team made its second long trip of the season up to Lewis- ton, February 16. Lewiston had improved, but South Portland de- feated them, 31-17. On March 2 the Capers again took Portland into camp, an easy game, making another chance for the subs. ln their return game with Deering, luck seemed against our girls. They might have won if they had not missed so many free throws. But the happy Deeringites carried home the bacon with the score 25-18. The last game with Sanford on March 23 was a picnic. lt ended 38-18, South Portland. The results of the games follow: Opp. Jan. Lewiston at home 20 Jan. Sanford at Sanford .. , , , 2 Jan.

MMI 96 N The Dragon of S. P. HE temple of this fierce and fiery monster is a red brick build- ing, standing upon a slight incline, situated in a small city well known to you all. ln this building there is the lair of the creature, the man-eating, or rather the boy-eating dragon, which it is my purpose to describe. The beast is of an indefinite size. Sometimes he appears to be much larger than he really is, and again, to some eyes, he shrinks to a magnitude which is far smaller than his real size. In general, we may say that he is as large as you choose to make him. ln color he is vague. sad, misty grey, and exceedingly depressing to the spirit. Some- times the light, however, strikes the creature just right, and then it is a wonderful and miraculous thing to observe how he lights up-- how he glows, how he sparkles and flashes. It is, however, only the earnest and hard-striving seeker who catches a glimpse of this meta- morphosis-to the most he wears the same drab, monotonous color always. Enough of these physical characteristics. His behavior-I shud- der to describe! He is exceedingly carnivorous, and continually de- vours human beings as food. He prowls about the corridors and halls of the large brick building heretofore mentioned, and whom he finds. he eats. So, of course, there is continual warfare between him and the inmates of this remarkable building. These are divided into four divisions, of whom the easiest and most pleasant to catch are those called the Freshmen, and the hardest and most slippery those called the Seniors, or Artful Dodgers. Perhaps you are mystified. What is the name of this strange beast? And by whose sanction does he exist? The creature is called by the French, Etudie, by the Germans, Studiert, and by us-Study. His existence is sanctioned by a board of wise men, known as a School Board. And so it is with him that we struggle for four years, wisely or foolishly, as best we know. The ways of meeting the dragon are many. Some try to creep past him when he is apparently not watching, and so reach safety beyond. But he has eyes in the back and sides of his head, and the game has never yet been known to work. Others meet him with a bluff-a bold, insolent manner, as much as to say: I have every right here. But he, unfortunately. is not one to be taken in by bluff. He detects it every time. Some, also, try to avoid and dis- regard his existence entirely-to make believe he is not there- equally futile, for he clamors for attention, and must, and will have lt. Then there is the fourth way, and the safest-possibly the only way to combat the dragon. Battle him! Meet him and fight him, as did St, George, and while you may not be St. George-you have as much chance as he had. The beast respects a hard fighter-in fact, is afraid of a hard fighter. lt is treacherous, for it watches and waits its chance to seize a strong victim-he always is on the watch. So, every year, the contest ends for a few short months. The beast rests and plans his campaign for the year to come. Those who +i9714+ have fought him four years--and won-receive their reward, bid him farewell and pass on. They have profited. And when the fray begins again, there are new victims, and new slaughters, and new champions. And so the beast champs on perennially through the halls of his temple, issuing forth challenges-the hardest enemy, and the best friend of his victims. Studies-What They Are Like and Why ENGLISH. A fearful conglomeration of Burke, Shakespeare and Mil- ton, rolled together and taken in a large dose. When this be- comes too wearisome, a little concentrated grammar work breaks the monotony. HISTORY. A study of famous men, treaties, commissions, and battles. Plenty of dates to forget in this class, and always that warning. 'idon't forget your notebooks tomorrow. TYPEWRITING. Nothing too bad can be said about this class. lt is so noisy that a fellow can't sleep here. STENOGRAPHY. 'AI-Ie who guesses right passes, That is the motto of this class. A string of hooks, dashes and curves makes this study one of intense joy, BUSINESS ENGLISH. The real big tent of the whole school. Some- thing doing every minute, ladies and gents, three rings, the big show. right this way. Echo work, getting information from graduates, oral reports, city directory, all going on at the same time. Those who did not take this subject don't know what they missed. BOOKKEEPING. lmagine wrestling with forty books, ledgers, and invoice blanks and you have bookkeeping well in mind, This offers a good opening for students, as the pay for all book keepers in the class is twenty-live per month. PHYSICS is a good place to find out all that you don't know. Not only is scientific work taken up but also boxing, pole vaulting, and hurdling through the courtesy of Mr. Nason. CHEMISTRY. Not a subject to study but to smell. Anyone without a smeller should take this work. ALGEBRA. 'Alf the Mississippi River is four miles across at the third curve south of St. Louis, what is the price of an oil-burner in Liberia? That is a problem in simple algebra. To solve, decide what the unknown number is, place all other Hgures in a hat. shake well and draw one, find the square root of this, mul- tiply it by itself four times and you have an answer. This surely is a great subject. BUSINESS ARITHMETIC is really much simpler than algebra. It is so simple that ten out of every six usually just about make the grade. This, however, is mostly the fault of the teacher, who insists upon correctness every time. LATIN. Here, ye flappers and sheiksl Want a first-class tip? Want to know what the Romans thought IT was? Well, read .Qi 98 N. Virgil and Ovid, and learn all about the Trojan and Greek love affairs. FRENCH, To you who like the bitter mixed with the sweet, take French and Cafter mastering 14 different tensesj you will be privileged to read a love story that turns out-well, read it and learn for yourself. GEOMETRY AND TRIGONOMETRY. Beware the brain muddlerl You who aspire to these heights must climb with a clear brain, and be immune to that god Awe. That Day of the Unexpected TROD the beaten path which leads to that beloved building, S. P. H. S., weighed down with Virgil, Hamlet, et cetera. l entered the building and made my way toward my home room. As l passed the office, l was attracted by soft strains of music, and upon boldly glancing in, perceived Mr. Beal and Benny Graves perched up on the shelf swinging their feet and singing at the top of their vocal chords 'Al Faw Down and Go Boom. The harmony was indeed captivating, Quenching my desire to hearken further to the lilting strains, l went to my class room. Miss Pierce sat primed to hurl Spanish-American War questions at us and we swallowed hard and were prepared for any fate. Jack Leddy was extremely bashful and, blushing deeply, declined to say a word when called on. Stanley Dinwiddie admitted that he had stayed out too late at a wild party the preceding night, and hadn't prepared his history lesson. Miss Pierce did not give up hope, and next called on Bill Anderson. Up jumped that brilliant youth and gave a full account of Admiral Dewey at Manila Bay, after which the health nurse was summoned with the smelling salts to revive a large portion of the class. Miss Pierce asked that she be allowed to keep the smelling salts, as there was a rumor that Mel Rice had pre- pared his lesson perfectly. Finally the bell rang and we emerged from 106 to go to our next classes. ln French class, Willard Wallace was the center of attraction, Either he did not know his lesson or was too modest to recite, but he sat with lowered head, twiddling his thumbs and blushing tragically. But Miss Davidson didn't mind and went on passing Whiz Bang gum to the class. Then she and HNed Marshall had a heated argu- ment over which could blow the bigger bubbles. The class took up a vote on it and Miss Davidson won, 13 to 12. At this moment the bell for assembly rang and an angry mob Hlled the hall, rushing and pushing to get front seats. The assembly proved entertaining and nearly everybody Hgot out of a study period. fSome people are luckylj The chief feature of the stage was a hula-hula dance by our talented Emerson Hunt, grass skirt and all. i'Shorty, accomplished musician of our faculty, rendered sev- eral selections on the fshoej horn. We then returned to our classes. pushing again, and jumping over the seats in our eagerness to get back to our studies. 'N 991+ English class was startling! Miss Hamilton greeted us with a hearty Whoopee! and the remaining time was spent in cracking jokes about Edmund Burke and mad Hamlet. Jim Greely sat up straight in his seat and didn't yawn once all period. Ralph Smith responded to the questions asked him in a weak, feeble voice, while Eleanor Dudley nearly drowned the entire class out with her unlady- like bellowing. Then came the best liked period of the day-lunch. The little girls in the lunch room who sling hash were kept busy by the hungry mob. Miss Hamilton and Miss Lord actually came to blows as the result of a dispute overitheir respective places in line. Each insisted that she should be in front of the other. It was settled by Spud Nason, who flipped a coin and Miss Lord won. Of course everyone looks forward to Latin class-the Trojans having conquered, the banquet having been prepared, Aeneas having told his tale, and other constructions. Mrs. Leseman called upon Rosamond Melcher to recite. The blonde athlete staggered to her feet and tried to translate-but in vain. She was forced to sink back into her seat and admit that it was too deep for her shallow brain. Just about that time Bill McBrady, with all the daring boldness of his youth, hurled an eraser at Mrs. Leseman, just in fun. Where- upon she flung it back at him with all her might, uttering naughty words in Latin. But-alas! lt hit Phil Anderson instead of Bill. That bashful young man ran to the ollice to tell Mr. Beal, but our worthy principal had gone home on a furlough. He returned to find Mrs. Leseman teaching the class a snappy drag step-a late Broadway hit. Books, erasers, and chalk whiz through the air and all are kept busy dodging the flying missiles. Much to the sorrow of all, the bell rings and we return to our home rooms. Hamlet Plus Spring The maple trees are red now, The sky is azure blue- But the dog will have his day yet, And the cat will have her mew. The west wind stirs the tree-tops: The river leaves its banks- Down in our hearts we know 'tis Spring: For this relief much thanks. New clothes are shining on the streets, Our new Spring hat we've botten, But vile offences smell to heaven, In Denmark something's rotten. Of all the change of Nature's train, The Spring is still liked best, But poison over-crows my will And Silence is the rest. -ni 160144+- Famons Paintings and Famous Seniors INCE reading WordsWorth's Ode on Immortality and study- ing about the doctrine of the transmigration of souls, we of the literary department of the HEADLIGHT have decided that there must be something in what Wordsworth and Pythagoras have said. We feel certain that every member of this class of '29 has somewhere, somehow served as a model.

Shortly after the arrival of Dan, the re-enfofcements begin to show up to support those few who are already there. With the coming of Silver or Deware, the room reaches its height in noise. A scrap of some sort is usually in progress, and the coat room is usually not as it was previous to the engagement. In spite of several invasions by Dan and requests to see me after school, the noise subsides very little: if anything, it increases in volume. Studying is impossible: thinking is an effort, and even living is hard under such conditions. At times thoughts are apt to soar in some places, not so in room 105, But the room has soaring erasers and inkwells. Anyone who has not seen a soaring inkwell has missed a delightful sight, and one who has not caught one behind the ear has still to enjoy a very pleasing sensation. Room 105 is the one home room of the school. All others are imitations. If you doubt this statement, ask any boy in that room where all make themselves right at home. Study Hall 102 TIME: 8.20. PLACE: Room 102. The Lofty Seniors with the undergraduates are having a study period. The undergraduates, of course, hold it a high honor to be in the same room with many of the distinguished Seniors. On any day but Tuesday the first period is usually a study period, but on Tuesday morning we have a grand time undressing Caesar and hunt- ing up some cough-drops for the girl who is coughing. 4'We really believe she is laughing, but then when she sends out an S.

S. such as that, we have to help the poor child before she chokes, although the looks she gets when she starts coughing would choke her if she took them seriously.j Most of us speak whether we have permission or not. If we were asked why, we would probably say we were saving our strength for studying, as it takes too much to raise our hand and ask permission. Room 102 is a boys' home room and as they do not primp up like some of the girls, they use their arts on someone else, and they pick on poor, defenceless Caesar. As we parade into 102 we look around to see who's coming in, and let our eyes roam over walls and ceiling. Perched on his high pedestal is Caesar, with a cap on his head, a muflier around his neck, and a piece of paper fthe boys couldn't afford to give him a good cigarettej stuck between his lips. Miss Shaw comes in, glances at him, and asks one of her pupils to get the window pole and undress Caesar, mf 106 i Home Room IO7 OU know a woman always has to have the last word and imagine the uproar in 107 when each girl tries to get in the last one. As a result there is a continual buzz until 8.15. Mrs. Leseman's girls try to set us a good example and really are very good models, but we fail to live up to the example they set. Everyone in the home room knows Bee Rodick's opinion of Burke. She says, Burke is crazy! When Barbara Foley is absent we never mark her so because we know she'll drift in sometime between 8 and 8.15. Her motto is 'iBetter late than never, and in spite of Miss Eeeney's trying to teach her, Better never late, Barbara still sticks to her own ideas. Then there is an eternal fight between Hazel Cobb and Mar- jorie Cash as to which will sit with Bee, Bee has no voice what- ever in the matter and has to put up with whoever wins out. They are signed up for weeks in advance. UCris Hunnewell has a desk that she will be very sorry to leave to some Junior because it is so musical. Every morning and noon she gives us selections on it. And it is so easy to learn. Even a baby could do it. Just lift the cover up and down. The results are amazing. The morning that we had our Temperance program, we dis- covered that Dot MacPhail and Beth Millington really have very remarkable voices, and the two of them together-well, if you haven't heard them, you will never hear anything like it this side of Mill Creek, Betsy Nickels is the information bureau. We don't even have to ask her questions. She meets us at the door with, There's going to be an assembly this morning, fifth period omitted. There's going to be a moving picture, or The HEADLIGHT Board are going to have their pictures taken, and all the other little things that no one else knows. Where she finds out all this knowledge is a mystery to all concerned. We sympathize with Miss Eeeney in her efforts to reform us, and we must say we have a grfr-and time in home room 107. What's the Use? Clxpologies to Kiplingj O French is French, and Math is Math, and never an A l'll meet, Till black is white, and day is night, and frankfurts are good to eat.

Then up and spoke the Senior's dad that led a troop of the guides, Is there never a teacher among ye all can say where an A-mark hides? -M 107 M- The Latin matter AVE you ever heard of the Latin Quarter? You don't have to travel to Paris to find one. Just go to the second table on the left any third lunch period. You'll hear in confidential tones: 'iSay, who knows their Latin? How do you translate that part about how Baucis looks at Philemon and he is beginning to sprout leaves, and Philemon looks at Baucis and she has already sprouted hers? l don't know, don't bother me: I won't have to recite today. But have you seen that picture in the book called 'Medea in Medita- tion'? She is supposed to be trying to decide whether she will help her beloved boy friend, Jason, get the golden fleece so he'll carry her away, a blushing bride, and get herself ousted from the house by her enraged papa or stay home with her sour old man and yelping kid brother. lt's no wonder she has such a tortured and agonized ex- pression on her face with such a hard question as that to decide. We have nothing but sympathy for anyone who looks like that. Oh! there's the bell and l haven't even finished the lesson. Come here, somebody, and show me how this goes. She'll call on me for that place. I know she will. Sayl won't anybody help me? ln the meantime thirteen fearful students wind their way to room 104. The first victim recites as does the second and third. We enter the fourth quarter. The fourth victim fails: so does the next and next. She, who did not expect to recite, feels it coming. lt comes. She gropes for the edge of the desk, pulls herself up and thus she speaks: She spoke and Cupid gave his eyes to her defeated back. She goes to the altars of Hecate that hides the dark trees and leafy shad- ows. She bursts into fiames when she sees Jason tl guess that must mean she falls in lovej, nor can she be blamed-for he stood out most beautiful in the bright moonlight. l'll help you get the fleece if you'll marry me in the end Cl think it's something like thatj Excelsior The shades of night were falling fast, MacPhee stepped on it and rushed past: A crash! He hit upon the ground, They opened up his head and found Excelsior. A night in June, beneath the moon, Mick thought it fun to sit and spoon: He really should have been in bed, What was it that was in his head?

NC 110141+- Final Report on the Vyliooflefsli HE unknown fish caught by Mr. Jenkins on his latest trip has been ascertained to be a whooflefish, species-Pisces Aquae, by a committee composed of our three noted scientists: Miss Chap- man, Mr. Nason, and Prof. Graves. The specimen was dissected in proper form by Miss Chapman. who explained the auguries in splendid fashion, Mr. Nason and Prof. Graves after much research work have handed in the following report of the specimen: A'Specimen-Whoofiefish. Species-Pisces Aquae. Habitat-Cape Shore, Fore River, and other isolated places. Description-A long, slender body with four green eyes on the left side and four red on the right. The body coloring is red. turning to white, and ending in blue. The fish is exceedingly hard of hearing and is oftentimes found wearing an Aucusticon Hearing Aid. Habits and Life-The fish swims backwards in order to keep the water out of his eyes. Their habits are for the most part good: four out of every five do not smoke, and inasmuch as known, up to this time no specimen has been found intoxicated. or has ever been caught chewing gum while in a school. And now in closing we quote Mr. Jenkins' story of how the fish may best be caught: Take a post-hole shovel, a live frog, and two pails of a damp Pooduck fog. Row out to a good spot. Take your shovel, dig a hole fairly deep in the water. Put your frog in the bottom. Fill the hole with the fog you have brought. The fish swimming innocently along will see the frog, and, being fond of this choice morsel, and mistaking the fog for water, will swim into the hole, fall, because of the less density of the fog, to the bottom, whence he may be picked up with ease. Dark Nights Mel Rice roused Beth Millington's ire, They went out without a spare tire. They ran over a tack, They had to walk back, And Beth said, AMel' Rice, you're a liar.
