The cast fulfilled their assignments admirably under the capable direction of Miss Bernice Dean. Tommy Legere played Hank, the eccentric young engineer who, while suffering from a slight shock, dreamed that he was in the Court of King Arthur. His reorganization of this fifth century court on a twentieth century basis provided the amusing situation for the hilarious scenes that followed. Joanne Minott played charmingly the role of a damsel in distress, and proved to the Connecticut Yankee that she was a most efficient secretary. Betty Malia and Bunny Dyer were very convincing as the teen-aged Elaine,' and Clarence who found it increasingly easy to adopt 1942 slang and customs. A more regal king and a more gracious queen could not have been desired. Walter Monn gave a very clever performance as the harrowed King Arthur, and Mary Libby was expertly cast as the vain and beautiful Queen Guinevere. Charles Mahar and Patrick Spaltro were hilarious as they portrayed Sir Lancelot and Sir Sagramorf' two of the most uunknightlyn knights one could ever hope to find. In order to balance such a large cast of heroes and heroines, it was necessary to produce a villainess and a villain. Irene Tamlyn was most successful in using her cunning and charm for the destruction of the kingdom-and had it not been for the fact that right conquers might -she surely would have succeeded. Constantine Kyros was an excellent Merling a conjurer of black magic and tokens. He wove so many spells over the cast on stage that he emeshed the audience, too. Rhoda Gleason and Pauline Stevens were very capable support as the worried mother and the irate kid-sister of the Connecticut Yankee. Much credit for the success of the performance must be given to the prompter, Glenys Dyer, and the stage manager and electrician, Bob Newell. WASHINGTON CLUB Friday morning, April 24, 1942, nineteen girls and fifteen boys left South Portland High School for the annual trip to Washington. They were under the supervision of Miss Melcher and Miss Dean of the faculty. The itinerary of the trip was not unusual-Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washing- ton-the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, the Congressional Library, the Capitol- Franciscan monastery, Arlington, Annapolis. In kaleidoscopic review they passed before our open eyed and not-at-all-ashamed-of-it admiration. Before the Lincoln monument we felt the quiet permanence of a spirit that can never die. At the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, we realized how much we owe to boys like the one buried here. All these are experiences common to all classes. But one thing was different. We were seeing Washington at war-Washington with calm determination-Washington a little grim at times-but a Washington that inspired us with a confidence in our country' s destiny. Something like a dream it was at times. Here were we, housed in the New Colonial with all our wishes anticipated and fulfilled, royally fed and comfortably clothed-all this because we were in the shadow of our Capitol. Could it be, we thought, that a few miles away the Battle of the Atlantic was being waged. Could it be true that London and Paris and Vienna-names to conjure with even a few years ago-were in the grip of this awful monster, WAR. Could it be that our America our land of blue skies, and calm lakes and happy homes has been drawn into the toils of this same monster. All this could not be! Then came the Washington Evening papers. Reality. The war is on. As we left Washington after a week, every day of which was packed full of worthwhile travel, fun, and sight seeing, we all said, I am sure, a silent and a sincere Thank you to those who have made our country great and to those who are guiding and guarding her now. Land where our fathers died, Land of the pilgrims' pride, From every mountain side, Let Freedom ring. DEAR FREEDOM Dear Freedom: For what you have been to our fathers, for what you are to us, for what you will be to out country that is to be-for all these things, dear Freedom, we hold you our sweetest, our dearest, our greatest possession. We have heard of sacrifices made for you and we have wondered. We have read of sacrifices made for you and we have rejoiced. Now we are seeing sacrifices made for you- and we are proud. We shall be called to make sacrifices for you-and, please God, we shall be ready. Even now we are being gently conditioned for such sacrifices. A littler less sugar that others may have enough, not so many good times, that we may do needed work, fewer auto trips that our men may advance more quickly into danger-for us. Yes, freedom, you are our dearest possession-dear, costly, precious-beyond the wealth of all the world. You rank with those greater things that are above the worth of rubies and diamonds. We realize this now-now that schooldays are so nearly over-now that we are becoming able to be a part of protection rather than being the protected. Yet you have your price. The Athenians knew it and they paid the price. The Britons know it and they are paying with their all. We Americans know it-and we say no price is too great-so long as we win you, O Freedom, to have and to hold . Even the Axis powers know it-and we know they have not the price. For the price of freedom, we believe, is not in coin or ship or tank or plane, essential though they be. The price is bone and sinew, heart and mind, body and soul. The price is more even than being willing to die for one's country- Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori . The price of freedom is living. Living for one's Country we start to say. But you O Freedom, know how false that is. We must live for mankind though it means sacrifice beyond our ken-We must live for that day when swords shall become plowshares. We must live, not only for our friends, for our aids, for our country, for our allies, but also for those very peoples whom now we call our enemies. God helping us we can do no other . That we may have the strength to catch the torch thrown to us by those who years ago drank the full cup of sacrifice-that we may have the strength to lift the Hame high-that we may keep it shining above all peoples-that is our faith, our hope, our prayer. I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see, Saw the vision of the world, and all the wonder that would beg Saw the heavens fill with commerce, argosies of magic sails, Pilots of the purple twilight, dropping down with costly bales, Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rain'd a ghastly dew From the nations' airy navies grappling in the central blue, Far along the world-wide whisper of the south-wind rushing warm, With the standards of the peoples plunging through the thunder-storm? Till the war-drum throbb'd no longer, and the battle-flags were furl'd In the Parliament of man, the Federation of the world. There the common sense of most shall hold a fretful realm in awe, And the kindly earth shall slumber, lapt in universal law. To this end, O Freedom, we pledge to you our best.

During the past three years it has become so great that I must try to tell you about it, if only to relieve my mind. I meet you every morning as the eight o'clock whistle is blown. You greet me with a cheery wave. You make my heart sing with joy, and then I can study much better. When you appear in assembly I always clap and cheer as long and loud as I can. I notice the other pupils do too. I don't know how you get your ideas across to us all. You aren't a talker. I believe it's because you're always there. At first I didn't care whether my school work was done well as long as it was done. I didn't want to learn anything I didn't have to. Somehow every time I look at you I'm ashamed of myself, and I try to come up to what I think you'd like me to be. I've watched ou when thin s didn't o our wa '. You seem to be roud even when Y g g Y I P youlre defeated.That's something I've got to learn. As long as youlre right you're bound to win out Hnallyf' You seem to say to us. I don't mean to get too sentimental. I don't think you'd like that. But sometimes you make me think of winds blowing over high mountains. Other times I think of great lakes, all calm in the sunshine. Again I see prairies-miles and miles of them-covered with golden grain. You seem free like them all. Especially I admire you because you're so democratic. You're not above noticing the smallest freshman or the freshest sophomore. That's a lesson for all us upper classmen. We forget sometimes. You never do. You're so gay, too. You seem to love color. I've noticed that red and blue are your favorite colors. They're mine, too. I could tell you some things I've heard you criticized for but remember I don't believe them. People who don't know you very well say you,re too fond of money. I guess you do like it, but you give away a lot as I happen to know. They say you're too dictatorial sometimes, but I've watched you and I think I know why. You have to be that way with some people. They'd walk over us if we'd let them and I guess you're not made to be walked on. I wonder sometimes how you keep your temper. You seem to go more than half way to avoid unpleasantness. And I've nearly disgraced myself cheering when you decided you'd stood enough, and took matters into your own hands. These are only a few of the reasons we are proud of saying to you every morning- I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. THE JUNIORS. ophomores SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Roger Dolan, Bryant Whipple, Betty Burns, Elizabeth Dyer SOPHOMORE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Richard Rice, Joseph Cronan, Shirley O'Donnell, Jane: Work SOPHOMORES To the Spirit of South Portland High: We had heard about you even before we entered high school. You seemed very vague. The most we knew about you was that you made people shout and clap at games. Then came high school. That green veil that envelops all freshmen made you almost invisible at first. We looked for you in the halls. You were elusive. You fled to the class- room. We followed but you were down with the band. We still pursued. You were with the football team. You were just a gleam that we never could quite see. But did we doubt your presence? That we couldn't do-for you are real. Came our sophomore year with sophomoric antics. The green veil has grown lighter. We see more-and we see more clearly. At times the green veil hovers over us but it's a less verdant green. The sophomore hop, a new departure this year, did much for us. You were there. We began to realize that you are not an altogether serious spirit. Miss State, our advisor, seems to know you. We've learned a lot about you from her, yet she has to admit she's never seen you. Of course other schools have their spirits-relatives of yours without a doubt--but only one school has the real, dyed-in-the-wool, Red and White, South Portland High Spirit-and we're it. We think you're a democratic spirit. At those unforgettable moments when we've heard the fluttering of your wings, they weren't fluttering around any one person in particular-we found that out. It takes all kinds to call up a real South Portland spirit. No one, no clique, no class can ever do that. It takes every pupil, every class, every teacher, our principal, and our superin- tendent, and our schoolboard, and our alumni. ' fYes, we heard you, we did forget to mention fathers and mothers- we would 'forget the greatest power of alllj But what we want to say is this. We know more about you than we did last year. Quite frankly, we want you to be around more-in fact all the time is none too often. We hope we'll know you better next year, and perhaps when we're seniors we can actually feel that we've done a little bit toward keeping you with us. We know we have to work to keep you, too. The Spirit of the Red and White is not for shirkers. You're pretty close when we show good sportsmanship. We distinctly feel you when we cheer a good play by an opponent. You sure do get round among us at such times. You're temperamental though. A few boos at the umpireis decision, and you're gone- perhaps for a week. You get into our classes semi-occasionally. Then, no history or math or Latin can get us down. Where were you when we failed that grammar test? I wonder now! We've learned that you're a loyal spirit-loyal to things outside of school-like the flag and our American language and those freedoms- We think-we're beginning-to understand. With our loyal support, THE SOPHOMORES THE LIBRARY SCENE: TI-IE LIBRARY CHARACTERS: THE BOOKS TIME: THE WITCHING HOUR ENCYCLOPEDIA: fCantankerouslyj Can't you keep still? I want to rest.

All's quiet as the moon peers into The Library at Midnight. xi gras hmen FRESI-IMAN CLASS OFFICERS Douglas Hill, Pauline Beck, Mary Cole, Richard Savage FRESHMAN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Lee Jackson, Virginia Davis, Richard Nelson FRESHMEN To Whom Ir May Concern: We hope that's everybody in South Portland High School. We've had a good time this year. Of course we've had our trials and tribulations, but we think the debit and credit on that account balance. We do appreciate and thank everybody who's had a hand in making us what we are today. We don't know what that is, so weill wait four years until we've earned a name. We hope that name will be like the name of every other class, The Best Class that ever Graduated from South Portland High School . H We're Ending out some things. High School is different from grammar school. The teachers say, You're older now. You can't have so much supervision. You'll have to rely on yourselves. V That was tough at first. Now, we're getting to like it. We guess by some things we've seen and heard that the upper classmen like it, too. just the same, it's nice once in a while to think back to that nice, cozy grammar school feeling of being carefully supervised. Some of us are beginning to wonder about college when we'll be more or less free to sink or swim, survive or perish according to the sum total of the resistances of our ver- tebrae . Glad we jotted those down in our notebooks., As we see it, our job for three years is to build up that resistance so we can take it, whatever it is, in the years ahead of us. We'd like to feel we're doing something to help in this mixed up time. Our parents say, Do your school work,.eat right and sleep right, play a lot, and go to church Sunday. At first we thought that advice was pretty sissy, but we're getting a hunch that it isn,t. Mr. Mahoney thinks we freshmen have a big responsibility for keeping South Portland High tops. As long as he feels that way about us, we'd better be tops ourselves. We've chosen Miss Eva Alley of the faculty as our advisor. She'll probably want us to do as the Romans do , and she has a way of getting what she wants. That's why we chose her. We're proud of all our officers and of all our classmates who have supported sports and dramatics and other clubs. You'll see their pictures on the following pages. Please look at them, they're worth the effort. We want to give a hand, too, to our classmates who stand high in their studies. They're the ones who really keep us on the map. We're not very good at telling how we feel but here goes, anyway: We think South Portland High is one good place to work in live hours a day. The pay is good, and there's plenty of overtime. Our big boss is a good sport, and our section bosses aren't so had either. It's up to us workmenn to make a new high in production. Loyally, TI-IE FRESI-IMEN. CAFETERIA STUDENT CAFETERIA STAFF Mildred Lubee, Joseph Lydon, Audrey Ellis Mildred Lydon, Anna Lee, Narice Madden, Barbara Mosley Qlthletics Y x 7 l FOOTBALL Come on red. Come on white. Come on Capers. Fight. Fight. Fight. And fight they did from their first game when they met and defeated a Biddeford team in twenty minutes of play to the final gun shot of the Portland game. The plucky team led by Captain Dick Beety certainly gave the season's favorite, Thorn- ton, a good scare on October 4. Although the Capers outplayed the stocky Thornton men from start to finish, they couldn't secm to get the ball over the line, and the final score showed Thornton Academy ahead by one touch-down. Tough breaks and injuries hurt the team all through the yer, but the climax came at the Biddeford game when two regular backs, Red Graffam and Billy Boswell, were carried off the field with broken legs. Two fine players were lost to the team for the season. Mickey Dolan and Francis Curran, the big-little backs, showed their mettle more than once by breaking through stubborn defenses for long scoring runs. All the season, we saw Irving Wallace, Ed Brown, John Steves, and both Beety boys putting up a big Fight in the line. We were especially proud of the way they held back the veteran Lewiston eleven. Bill Curran, John Cogan, Arthur Scott, and Frank Sebastianski deserve much praise for their fine coaching Mickey Dolan, Tommy Graffam, Bill Boswell, and Ted Beety, all letter winners, will be back with us next fall. A new system will be tried out then. Instead of giving one boy the honor of being captain all season, a captain will be chosen for each game. We give the coaches and next fallls squad a rousing cheer as South Portland High goes on to Victory! LIGHTWEIGHT FOOTBALL Playing three home games and two games away, this year's scrappy lightweight squad enjoyed an undefeated season. Yes, I said undefeated. What? Oh you don't believe me, huh! Well would it prove it if I quoted you the scores. All Right! Here you ate. In one game away from home they drubbed Westbrook, 19-0, and in the other, a hard fought battle full of thrills, brought victory over Deering to the tune cf 20-13. The three games played on their home field were real thrillers. Their game with Edward Little Junior High School brought out talent both in the backfield and the line in the form of fast and shifty ball-carrying along with a lot of effective blocking and interference. The score for that game, was 13-12. The home game with Deering was a tough contest but the com- bination of fate and inspired playing linally favored the Caper outfit 20-19. Some game! Wow! Portland put up a great fight but they bowed to the inevitable and received a 14-0 trimming. A possible lineup for this future varsity is: Gould, Rankin .,.... ........ L eft End Welch ................., Right Tackle Murphy . ..,.... Left Tackle Burtt ..,....,.......,...... Right End Paulson .........,.... .... G uard Llewellyn R. Brimecombe ,....... Quarter J. MacDonald, Geneva ....,..... Center DeMauro, R. Davis ,,....... Left Half T. Skillings, Fenwick .... . , Right Guard Furbush, Stanley ,.......,... Right Half -I. Fortin Offenburg ,..,.,,.....,,........ Fullback GIRLS' BASKETBALL South Portland High School has its own Corregidor Fortress, Coach Chambers re- ported at one of our first rallies. And she was right. A Corregidor Fortress it proved to be! Holding against terrific assaults and breaking down strong defenses, the girls' basketball sextet came through another season undefeated! Captain Glenys Dyer was ably assisted in the defensive area by Bev Beal, Ruth Willey, and Margaret Morong. Versatile Joanne Minotr played either guard or forward position with equal agility, and Marie Tilton was everywhere at once. The veteran sharpshooters, Carolyn Jones, Pauline Stevens, and Phyllis Peterson repeatedly rolled up the score with the Merry Macs , McNealus, McKinney, and MacVane, often taking over. The closest rival, Deering, caused the Caperettes but little trouble this year and we de- feated the purple lassies twice. The hnal scores were 20-9 and 22-8. Other victories were won from Cape Elizabeth, Westbrook, McGlauHin Independents, Fairfield, Cony, and Fal- mouth. By far the most thrilling game of the season was the final game, when the team met Laurence High at Fairfield. Laurence was ahead the first three quarters, but South Portland came back in the last two minutes. Phyllis Peterson saved the day by scoring just in time, and the final score showed the Capers ahead by two points. All season the Junior Varsity was undefeated too. This gives assurance that there will be plenty of good material for next year's team. Many regulars, Captain-elect Morong, Carolyn McKinney, Jeannette MacVane, Margaret jordan, Marie Tilton, and Eileen Johnson will be fighting to keep up the winning streak and to add many more victories to the marvelous record of twenty-two consecutive wins. We wish them all success. Remember We did it before and we can do it again . GIRLS' JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL GIRLS' FRESHMAN BASKETBALL VARSITY BASKETBALL Ike,' Curran captained an experienced Caper team this year and ably led it through a particularly trying season. Coach Ollie Berg, after starting a different lineup for the first four or five games, finally decided that he would put Mickey Dolan, a very capable sophomore, and Captain Ike Curran at the guard positions. Tall lanky Allen Rowe, a fine defensive player, held down the center position. At the forward berths were Tom Legere, who started poorly but ended up in a blaze of glory, and Bunny Dyer. Playing inspired ball throughout the season, yet looking what some people call luck, the Red Riots dropped close games at Westbrook, Deering, Morse, Portland, and Edward Little. The closest game was against Portland when they scored a basket in the last ten seconds of play. The highlight of this season was with Morse High School at Bath, the Capers being the only team to defeat a favored Morse High on their home floor. South Portland made the Southwestern Maine Tournament after beating Lewiston High in a play-oil game but was defeated by Portland High who went ahead to win the State Championship. The standing five received valuable assistance from Richey Davis, ':Don Ridley, Arty Kierstead, Erny Arey, Bud jordan, and our playing manager, Ben Norton. Mr. Berg looks forward next year to a more successful season with such players as Dolan, Davis, Arey, Jordan, and Brid. FRESHMAN BASKETBALL The class of 1945 was well represented this season by one of the most promising basketball teams that we have ever had. Through the efforts of the Portland Boys' Club, a freshman league was organized with teams from Portland, Deering, Cheverus, Westbrook, and South Portland as members. Our cub aggregation under Coach Berg's tutelage showed a lot of teamwork and fight in league competition. They defeated Portland, the league champions, in a terrific game where they displayed some of the spirit that has made South Portland teams famous in Maine. They also trimmed Westbrook once and Cheverus twice. In outside games they showed Junior teams from Portland Y. M. C. A. and Boys' Club how real basketball is played. The Junior varsity had several members of this team, Joe DeMauro, Mel Furbush, and Pandora, among its ranks in all its games. It is a foregone conclusion that next year's varsity will include many of the boys from this club and that they will be a prominent factor in putting us in next year's tournament. We strongly advise you South Portland fans to keep an eye on these boys and you other fans to keep an eye out for them. TRACK The 1942 edition of the South Portland Track Team had a better than mediocre season on the boards this past winter even though there were few veterans on the squad. The season opened against a strong University of Maine Freshman combine on january 10. Though greatly outclassed, South Portland managed to earn over I0 points because of the efforts of Woodward and Campbell. The next meet was at Lewiston, where South Portland came close to upsetting a favored Bates Freshman team by a 49 2,'5 to 58 3,f5 score. The track team was again paced by Campbell and Woodward, but other important point-winners were Robert Keniston, Cofheld, Merrill, Webb, and Coggins. The only home meet of the indoor season for the Capers was against Portland on january 24th. South Portland emerged vic- torious from this encounter by a 78 2,f3 to 65 1X3 score. The leading scorers were Gleason, Lydon, Keniston, Campbell, Cofiield. and Woodward. Because of the cancellation of the Thornton meet, the team then had a long rest until the trip to Brunswick to meet Bowdoin's freshmen. Here, South Portland, in losing, gave a good account of itself by scoring about 20 points. The final meet for the squad was the one for which all of the greater Portland teams prepare during the winter, the Four Cornered Meet at the Expo. South Portlandls Johnny Gleason distinguished himself in this meet by winning the junior 40 and 250 yard dashes. Another first place was taken by Captain Woodward in the high jump, in which he barely missed establishing a new record. Other point makers in the Expo meet were Devine, Brimecombe, Maloney, Snow, Coggins, Lydon, and O'Donnell. South Portland placed second with forty-one points to Deering's forty-five. One of the highlights of the past season was the fine jumping and all around good work of Captain Melzar Woodward. In the Maine, Bowdoin, and Expo meets, he barely missed breaking the high jump records. If enough meets can be scheduled for next winter, the team hopes for a better season, since there will be a more experienced squad. BASEBALL The season of 1942, from all outward signs, has excellent prospects for a formidable team. Six lettermen, All-Telegram League Ike Curran, Micky Dolan, George Bean, Tom Brime- combe, Spike Davis, and Norm Parrott, are the nucleus around which Coach Bill Curran expects to build the team. Behind the plate will be either Joe Cribby or Ernie Arey. The hurling duties will be shared by Davis, a righthander, and Parrott, a southpaw. Helping this pair will be Johnny Gleason and Charley Audette. The probable infield will find Art Kierstead at hrst base, Dolan at second, Curran or George Norton at short, and either Charley Bryce or Joe DelVlauro at third. Besides Bean and Brimecombe, Bob Toomey and Elmer Alexander look good in the outfield. The transportation shortage and regulations made it necessary to divide the Telegram League into two circuits of five teams from the Portland vicinity and the three teams from York County. The league officials decided to have the first two teams of the five team circuit and the winner of the three team branch compete in a playoff series for the Telegram League title. The season opened on Patriot's Day with an exhibition game with Deering. Deering handed us a 7-3 defeat. As the HEADLIGHT goes to press, the Telegram League has not as yet starred. But the boys are rounding into shape in good style. Although Portland High is highly favored to cop the title, our team will be in there fighting hard to beat them out. COACHES AND ASSISTANTS Mr. Cogan, Mr. Gustafson, Mr. Curran, Mr. Roberts, Mr. Ellis Mr. Nason, Miss Chambers, Mr. Berg CHEERLEADERS Bryant Whipple, Elizabeth Dyer, Lorraine Wheeler, Dorothy Powers Margaret Morong, Carolyn jones, Jeannette Orr, Elton Feeney SLEEPING DOGS In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to . . f' well almost anything except spring-cleaning the house. And Ned Sloane finds himself no exception to this familiar adage as the snows melt, the ice runs out of the rivers, and the fish hunger for new bait. Nevertheless, he and his young wife, Peg, if questioned, would have maintained indignantly that, despite minor differences concerning household activities, they are definitely happy . . . that is, they would have maintained it if Miss Amarilla Price, officious statistician for the Average Woman , with subtle, fienclish delight, had not called one fine morning and tempted them to examine their idyllic, marital bliss more closely, thus setting the house in pandemonium and imperiling her own physical welfare. Thus ran the comic theme of the one-act play presented in the district contest at Bruns- wiclc High School in March by South Portland with six other local schools. The cast consisted of three juniors, two seniors, and three handsome goldhsh fnot listed in the Dramatis Personnaej. The efficient, candid, slightly perplexed house-cleaner was capably enacted by Phillis Eldridge '43, Robert Newell '42 was convincing and likeable in the role of Ned, the boastful, well-meaning, short-bedeclcedn husband. Elizabeth Cooper kept the audience, if not the Sloane family, in a state of hilarity, and realistically interpreted the only adult character in the cast. The newlyweds next door who succeeded in giving Miss Price her due were Minnie Phillips, affectionate, petulant, inexperienced houselceeper and joe, whose goodhearted but blundering attempts to help the little woman resulted only in chaos. Both Phyllis Peter- son and Ralph Gray in their respective roles won a warm response from the audience and were not enough in the sun . Stage-manager, prompter, technical advisor, and chief goldfish tender was Walter Monn, '42. THE BAND Here comes the band. And when we say the band we mean South Portland's own under the direction of our able and genial director, Mr. Clarence Rowe. Here comes the band! Plays, assemblies, games, concerts, parades, banquets, graduations, local defense-all have come to depend upon our musical department. The triumph of the year was the annual Band Concert, presented April 10, 1942. Soloists of the evening were Vivian Lavoy, Nathan johnson, and Waverly Hamond. Out band had the honor of appearing in the opening broadcast of Maine Schools on the Air . It's quite impossible to evaluate the worth of this band to the student body. Some of us recognize our need for it only when it is missing and because of the punctuality of our band we have few chances to learn its worth by its absence. But to most of us, the band at its best in a well played march gives a lift of spirit that augurs well for a triumph or two over math problems, chemistry tests, or whatever else comes in the day's work. It's second nature to link such music with the flag. Hats off! Along the street there comes A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drumsg And loyal hearts are beating high: Hats off! The flag is passing by . SINGING SAXES Hope Emerson, Eleanor Richardson, Virginia Keating, Anna MacCormack, Marian McPhee ORCHESTRA GIRLS' GLEE CLUB BOYS' GLEE CLUB SCHOOL PLAY A deep clark mystery was presented this year by the talented members of the corridor promenaders of S. P. H. S. This thriller-chiller tool: place in a radio studio. The chief announcer, Herbert Gordon Cook, became a corpse at the close of the first act and from then on, Who did it? was on everyone's lips. Detective Walter Monn Holmes fno relation to Sherlockj listed all the suspects. William Bing Luce was the chief one since he was the new boy friend of the deceased's former fiancee, Gladys Lucile Armstrong, a singer at the studio. Robert Waterman was next on the list because he had applied to the manager, Harold jones, for the job of chief announcer. Aunty Baird fNarice Maddenj gave her suggestions as to the investigation but was calmly ignored by Detective Holmes. The manager's secretary, Joanne Minott, gave an important clue by mentioning a letter that had been given to the deceased on the afternoon before the shooting. Phyllis Betty Peterson, who was a rival singer of Lucile's, and Nona Joy, another actress, put their oars into the sea of confusion. The only member of the staif who didn't have any suggestion to make was the jack Benny of the studio, Constantine Fred Kyros. A fortune teller, Anna Lee, who often came to the studio really solved the crime. Ruth Willey presented a new prospect when she arrived to get some money that Gordon had owed her brother. After thorough questioning of all possibly connected with the horrible crime, Detective Holmes announced the death was caused by poison in the letter that had been sent to the announcer by none other than Fred Denning the great comedian! Eg I i DEBATIN G Our season opened with our entrance into the Bowdoin League. Marie Burns and .Ioan Marr represented the school at Bowdoin College, debating on the timely topic of Labor Unions. Next we launched into our winter season, preparing for the Forensic League. We were indeed fortunate to have the opportunity to debate against the Bates Freshmen in a non- decision practice debate. Mr. Brooks Quimby, the coach of the debating team at Bates and one of the outstanding debate coaches in the East, constructively criticized the South Portland Team. After many other practice tournaments and a great deal of work, we were ready for our trip to Lewiston. The question for the Forensic League was: Resolved, that all boys under draft age should have one year of military training. Along with this especially interesting topic, we employed a new method of cross-examination debating, which added life to the debates and made our season a very enjoyable one. Joan Marr and Betty Grigson, our two veteran debaters, came through the tourney unde- feated. Their outstanding victory was over Laconia High School, the state champions of New Hampshire. The alternate for the negative was Isabel Trefethen. Madelyn Simmons and Suzanne De Carre, two newcomers to the team, debated on the affirmative. Virginia Martin finished fourth in Oratorial Declamation. With the combined help of Mr. Hutchinson and Miss Loveitt the debating season next year should be even more successful. Let us say Good luck and a successful future to the returning debaters. ART CLUB SCIENCE CLUB CERCLE FRANCAIS The French Club carries on! As we learn more of France and her language, of her customs, her people, her defeats, and her triumphs, we come to sympathize with this unhappy land in her years of trial. We look forward to the time when the tricolor shall again wave over a restored nation. -Cercle Francais sans messieurs! Eh bien!- The much to be deplored absence of masculine dignity gave us an opportunity to assume roles of importance as follows: Mary Libby, President, Joanne Minott, Vice-President, Frances McGinty, Treasurer, Betty Grigson, Secretary. Miss Phyllis Davidson of the faculty supervised all our activities. The puppets, manipulated by Mary Libby, the Christmas party with petite McGinty as Le Bonhomme Noel, the quiz program with Virginia Martin, as Dr. I. Q., Le Jour des Rois with its King Sylvia and Queen Dorothea, were among the high lights of the year. At all our meetings we played French games and'sang French songs under the direction of Mademoiselle Minott. Motion pictures of French scenery, featuring Carcasonne, were open to all. Madame Naples, our good friend, entertained us with her usual charm by a talk on France. And so the French Club carries on. May the time soon come when students of French may again visit France-when her capital shall again be that 'Qgay Paris -for Paris is a woman's town with fiowers in her hair and the girls of the French Club of 1942 hope to see her when she resumes this role. HI-Y CLUB The Hi-Y Club assembled for its hrst meeting early in October in Room 3 and im- mediately started organizing its resources for the coming year. Charles Dyer was elected president, and his running mate, the vice-president, was Constantine Kyros. Charles Wood- bury gave the secretary's report, and Frederick Eaton kept our financial status intact. We were very fortunate to secure Mr. Ellis for our advisor in place of Mr. Kahill, who had gone into the armed forces during the summer. After the usual reconstruction period , we decided to start the year by making the freshmen feel more at home. An afternoon dancing class was given for the freshmen by Bryant Whipple so that they might be better prepared for the coming reception. Because of the resignation of several of the officers, new officers were elected with Con- stantine Kvros becoming presidentg Robert Newell, vice-presidentg Laurence Fennel, secre- taryg and Melzar Woodward, treasurer. The I-Ii-Y also had a party at the camp of Bryant Whipple on Sebago Lake where re- freshments were served with dancing following. During the winter a basketball team was organized and several games were played in the high school gym. The Hi-Y Club has volunteered its services to the defense program and several of its members will serve as messengers in case of air raids. Hi-Y members are also air raid wardens and auxiliary policemen. Moving pictures were shown and many interesting speakers were heard throughout the year. Most of the members secured Hi-Y pins and jackets in the spring. Plans are being made for the annual outing and it promises to be a welcome event. New members are due to be inducted and the election of officers for the coming year will prove to be very interesting. In looking back over the year we feel that the Hi-Y Club has kept up the standards of past Hi-Y Clubs.
