24 THE RED AND WHITE H ammy BARBARA NADEAU, '50 She has gone now, but I know where, Up into heaven, without a care. Quickly she left-no chance for good- byes, Now in her place shines a star in our skies. Lord of Eternity, why did she die? She who loved life, more so than I- Never quarrelling - carefree and gay- Happy-go-lucky-that was her way! She wouldn't want us to be sad, For she's in heaven, and is so glad, Young she may be, but older, too, For God's her companion now, not me and you. Macbeth After several weeks of rehearsals at Station WWNH under the direc- tion of Mr. Richard Purcell, of Sta- tion WWNH, and Mrs. Wight, se- lected members of the Senior English classes presented on Wednesday, June 2nd, a radio adaptation of Shake- speare's Macbeth, Sound effects carefully worked out by Mr. Purcell and Mr. Kotik, accompanying this production, brought into action an array of radio techniques. The kind- ness and generosity of Mr. Purcell in giving freely of his time and talent to make this broadcast a success is greatly appreciated by the students of Spaulding High.

Dramatic Club During the early spring season the Masque and Dagger worked on sev- eral one-act plays. Thursday Eve- ning, a domestic comedy by Christo- pher Morley, was presented at pro- grams of the Women's Clubs of Ro- chester and South Berwick. A cut- ting of She Stoops to Conquer, a popular English play, was our entry at the New Hampshire State Dra- matic Festival, held March 19, at the University of New Hampshire. We received a rating of very good. These two plays, plus Glamorizing Joanne, comprised our annual night of one-act plays for public production. The Thespian initiation was held in May after a Dramatic Club supper, nine pupils were eligible for member- ship in this dramatic honor society. They included Carroll Ham, George Hardwick, Robert Fabian, Kenneth Horne, Elinor Arlin, Beverly Camp- bell, Carline Clement, Patricia Du- chesneau, and Gerald Fernald.

THE'RED AND WHITE 23 Senior Tri-Hz'-Y The Senior Tri-Hi-Y has at pres- ent a membership of fifty girls, work- ing under a Constitution drawn up by the members at the beginning of the year. Several annual projects have been continued this year: at Thanksgiving mem-bers brought food and canned goods to make up a basket for a needy and appreciative family. A Christ- mas Ball was held in the gym, and the proceeds were used to dress a little girl for Christmas. A bridge party was held in February to raise money for the scholarship fund, this amounts to a hundred dollars and is given annually to some Senior Tri- Hi-Y member who is planning to en- ter college or take up a profession. In March, several members of the club attended the Tri-Hi-Y Older Girls' Conference, held right here in Ro- chester. ' One of the highlights of the club is its basketball team, the only girls' team of the kind in the school. Dur- ing the season five games were played: one each with Sanford, Som- ersworth, and Milton, and two with Berwick-all were victories except the Sanford game. A Play Day was participated in by the team, at the University of New Hampshire, and there they took the honors. The team also had a game with the boys for the benefit of the March of Dimes, go- ing into the game with a fifty point lead, the girls came out on top. The following officers have been elected for the coming year: Presi- dent, Anita Guilmetteg Vice-Presi- dent, Mary York 3' Secretary, Harriet Collins, Treasurer, ,Norma Wood. As a final outing of the year, the club went to York Beach. BARBARA CALLAGHAN ' OUR PROM QUEEN

THE RED AND WHITE 25 DO YOU REMEMBER? JAMES FLAKER, '50 Do you remember - How we watched the leaves whirl, And flutter and swirl, Until only one was left that November? I heard you say, God, when the world ends, Let it be in November. -It was- Do you remember? REFLECTING WATERS JUANITA BARCOMB, '49 Pictures of the heavens, the clouds, the birds, and breeze 0'ershadowed by the darker etchings of the leaves Visions of these beauties beheld in shim- mering pools But for a iieeting moment for caressing breezes cool Destroy the tranquil splendor of that mir- rored scene! FORESTS PAUL HARRIS, '50 Trees stretching majestically up to the sky, Beautiful forests dotted with flowered clear- ings, Silver streams winding endlessly through a painted gorge, Purple mountains capped in glistening white, Red and purple sunsets on the distant hori- zon, Nature's endless beauty surrounding us on all sides. You like the wild, I like city life. THE MOON BETTY ENAIRE, '49 Drifting softly on a calm golden bay, A lighted crescent glides through fluify downg ' Streaming behind it scattered moonbeams stay, A pale yellow light to create her crown. A mysterious angel robed in gold, Barefooted .across a celestial floor Wandering as in many years of oldg Undisturbed, Boating o'er a troubled moor. Her hidden path lighted by silvery stars, Stretching to depths beyond, never to endg A path that only a wind strewn cloud mars. Her angelic beauty only to lend. Ending her reign laughing the world to scorng Silently slips in shadow and moves on. REQUIEM MADELYN PIKE, '49 The trees trembled before the wind's might, As they bent and they broke tragicallyg The wind shrieked and screamed into the night While the white moon appeared magically. The dead leaves rose and writhed in the dark As the whirlwinds twirled to the clear skyg The sky that was black save for a spark Of white light, 'twas a star passing by! All things die with an upsurge of life, So does fall with its glorious hues With its bright harvests and signs of strife, With its skies of deep crystalline blues. In one single wild night all is spentg The bright tints fade to dull lifeless brown. Fall is gone with her lush, warm content. Too soon the snow falls quietly down.
