In high school everything is done on a much larger scale, and a freshman really must learn to study all over again. It is often said that the freshman year is the hardest, not because the studies are so hard or the assignments so long, but because the average freshman does not know how to study in a satisfactory manner. It is hard at first to grasp subjects, such as Latin and Algebra, which are so very much dif- ferent from the studies that one has been learning. A year is necessary to learn to study so that one will have time for sports and other outside attractions and still continue to do satisfactory work. After the accomplishments of the first year, the student returns so proud of his past achievements that he is at once dubbed a silly sopho- more. It takes another year to reach the more normal position of the juniors. ' Regardless of what class he is a member, every student knows the terror he has when he finds something that he cannot master: for example. a problem in Algebra fthat subject being the terror of my lifej. There is but one way for the average student to master the various problems which he will be obliged either to master or fail in and the average student THE CRIMSON RAMBLER 5 seldom fails g this solution to the students' problems can be expressed in two words-Start Right. It is an easy matter to stay right after one gets started, and getting started itself is only a matter of steady and intelligent study fora time It should not be hard to stay right after the fundamentals of a task, whether in school or in other work, have been mastered.

Mr. Marsh, district field man-ager of the Curtis Publishing Company, visited us again this year with magazines. The school was divided into three teams: The Buccaneers, whose color was greeng The Sea Dogs, whose color was Blueg and The Pirates, whose color was red. The Sea Dogs got the largest number of subscriptions and was given a party called A Deep Sea Revel, by the two losing teams. The party was held in the Commercial Room. Everyone took part in the fun, which consisted of stunts. A lunch was served by the two losing teams. The school received fifty cents on each subscription, and each person who brought in three or more subscriptions received a prize. Mr. Johnson planned a trip to Augusta for the students of the Civics and Economics classes who cared to go to see the State Legislature in session. Twelve students, with Miss Elwell as chaperon, went on March 23, and besides visiting both Houses, saw a joint session of the House of Representatives and the Senate, at which Governor Brewster spoke for over an hour upon Maine Water Power. Through the efforts of Senator Slocum and Representative Hawkes, we met the Governor and visited the Blaine Mansion. We enjoyed two snowshoe hikes this year, the first to Mr. Marean's pasture, where we built a Fire and roasted frankforts and made cocoa. The second hike, with Clyde Dolloif as guide, was over the ice to Varney's Point. On this trip.we toasted marshmallows, Miss Elwell showing astonishing ability at this sport.

Bob was one of the foremost men at the station, due to a vacancy left by the death of a man who was dearly loved by all the people of the village. Bob, being a very good man and noted for his bravery at all fires, had been promoted to this place. And now as Bob came home from his work, the wind whistled around the buildings and met him, and whistled through his clothes, chilling him. He thought, What a night for a fire with the wind and cold! He was met at his door by his five-year-old child, Arnold, and also by his wife, whom he cared for very greatly. After supper he went into the parlor and listened to the radio until nine o'c1ock. His wife fixed the furnace fire and informed him that every- thing was all right. So they went to bed after looking at the child. After being asleep for about three hours, Bob was awakened by the smell of smoke. He went out into the parlor, nearly choked by the gas and smoke, and made his way to the cellar and opened the door. He was met by a rush of smoke and fiameg he slammed the door, went and awakened his wife and child. He then went to the fire alarm on the corner of the street. When he got home, he found that his wife and child were trapped in their burning home. Bob could get into the eastern part of the house, but could not get to the place where his wife and child were. The building was a seething mass and the fire reached almost to the child and woman on the third fioor. When the fire engine came, Bob ran out and gave instructions to help save his wife. While watching, he could see his wife and child in one of the attic windows hovering away from the smoke. Bob shouted to her, but she did not answer. The fire chief yelled to spread the net. Then the woman knew that she must jump to save her life. She opened the attic window and Bob shouted to her to throw the child first and then to jump herself. She did not hesitateg she kissed her small boy and a moment later the little form was hurled through the great space to the spreading net below. He was taken from the net by Bob, and then his wife jumped into the life net. Bob ran to her as she was taken from the net. His family was saved, but that was all he knew: everything went black and his troubles were over for a time. lk Dk bk lk lk Twenty years later we find Arnold in his father's place and known as the youngest, bravest fireman in the world. He lives in a new house with his father, who has retired. This house was given to Arnold by the Brotherhood and Firemen, in honor of that night when he made himself known. H. E. B., '27, f THE CRIMSON RAMBLER 9 MYSTERY It is mid afternoon in Kashia. a village in Egypt. The sun is beating relentlessly on the abodes of the villagers, and the brown faced, tall natives are resting lazily in the shade of their adobe houses. A White man clad in the dress of the tropics, a dress consisting of a white suit with high boots and a peculiar hat which somewhat resembles the helmet of a soldier, walks slowly along observing the natives and the surrounding houses. As he goes along, his motions and build show that it is no other than I. Now that we have arrived at the place where we find this white man is I, my stor begins. I amywalking up a street in Kashia, a village in Egypt. The black piercing eyes of the natives are closely observing my movements. As I walk by a large wall which is evidently the protection of a palace, a small door opens in the wall and I behold the figure of an exceedingly beautiful girl who slowly and cautiously motions for me to come. It seems very mysterious to me, but looking around and finding that the natives are gathered in the square, observing a trade caravan which is entering the village, I slip unnoticed through the doorway and catch a fieeting glance of the girl just disappearing up a path that leads to a dark shaded outerhouse. I follow and the girl warns me in broken English to talk low. She then relates to me a sad story of the downfall of her people and the death of her father and mother, and tells me that she is now the prisoner of an Egyptian prince who wishes her to become one of his wives. She implores me to deliver her from this monster. I willingly consent. for who could resist those dark, beautiful, appealing eyes? I bid her make ready. She tells me of a secret necklace which she has hidden in her room and tells me that it contains a map which will lead the owner to hidden wealth: she must secure the necklace before she can go. 1 calmly wait in the outerhouse while she goes for the necklaceg but when she does not return in fifteen minutes, I become anxious. Soon two dusky figures appear in the doorway and I find I am a prisoner of the Egyptian prince. I am led into a richly furnished room. A richly clad figure comes majestically toward me and I am addressed in English, You have committed an unpardonable crime by trying to steal my next wife. I found her preparing to depart and forced her to tell that a man awaited her. You shall be justly punished. He motions the guards to bring me and he leads me to a dark cell in which I observe a horrible device for torture- a stretcher. I fight desperately but am soon over-powered. I am laid on my back and the cold steel bracelets are just being placed upon my legs, when looking up I see the beautiful face of the girl in a trap door in the ceiling. Ifer screams are horrible, and just as the machine of torture begins to stretch and pull- VVell, wait, what is that P- Ting-ling-ling-ling-I roll over in bed to shut off the alarm. It is only a dream-maybe I am glad, for I don't like being stretched. But oh, those dark beautiful eyes-I canlt forget. W. E. J.

CAESAR Caius Julius Caesar, a noted man was he, But the language he spoke is a puzzle to me, Indirect discourse, ablative absolute and more, too. Why! when you come to puzzle this out, Oh! ooo! Which is the verb and which is the object? Oh! which is the noun andwhere is the subject? I look up this word, I look up that word, I glance at the next, of that I've never heard. Then I jumble the words to make sense, But all in vain, I am too dense To see what Caesar in this book meant When he said to a general, Ambassadors I've sent. MARY SWASEY, '29. i.l..l-i AN ICE STORM The cold, gray day wore slowly to an end. All day long the sleet had beaten in an endless patter against the window. It was cold and the frozen rain made walking in the snow-covered roads a hard task. Night never came to a more dismal landscape than this on ra cold February day. Morning came, however, as morning will come and with it came-- wonders. It was as if some magic greater than anything that ever hap- pened in the Arabian Nights had been performed. Every tree, every bush, every clothesline had become an object of wonder. Even the ring in the corner of the house to which the clothesline was fastened was studded with jewels. Every color that is ever seen in a prism danced from every object large enough to hold a few drops of water. The telephone line looked like a, silver ribbon which reflected the sunlight. Every wire fence had a thousand tiny silver framed window panes. The trees bore jewels more wonderful than the treasure chests of all the ancient kings could produce. No object was too large nor too small to have been transformed by the mysterious hand of nature. The weather vane on the schoolhouse seemed to have received a new coat of paint. The icicles which hung from the eaves were of every size, from that of a shingle nail to one six or eight inches in diameter. The house surrounded by evergreen trees on top of the hill behind the school- house looked like a great diamond set in a green velvet case with hundreds of smaller stones around it. None of nature's marvels is more beautiful than an ice storm. Nature does not favor us with such a sight every day. R. M. C., '2'7. THE CRIMSON RAMBLER 13 MY STORY I was once on a tree, which was tapped by a native in the same way that all rubber trees are tapped. A large native came and carried me to a fire, and there the gum rubber which contained me was boiled. After boiling, I was sent to America on a ship that tossed about very badly on the high waves of the Atlantic. I was so seasick that I could not eat a thing all the way over, but at last we came in sight of land, and I asked my Uncle, a pair of rubber boots that were near, what place we were in. He having traveled more than I, said that it was New York. The next day all the rubber was taken to a factory, where the Eagle Fountain Pen is made. There I was fashioned into a pen and was sent to be tested and -approved. One thing was not perfect, as the examiner said I was Hat-footed. But I was finally sent to Portland, Maine. Here I was placed with several others just like me in a large showcase in a store win- dow. I stayed there for about four weeks. Several of my brothers had left me and I was beginning to get lonesome, when a large, rich, well dressed person came in and bought me after some looking around and asking questions. He said that he was going West on a business trip and wanted a good pen. We started on July 4 and got to the Summer Bachelors' Club at Chicago about 3 A.M. the next day. Mr. Blake, my new owner, was signing some letters with me one day. When he got through, he laid me down on the table, and as I felt quite playful, I rolled off. Well, there goes four dollars, said Mr. Blake, as he made a grab for me and missed, but upon picking me up, he found me as good as ever- except that my breather pipe was full of dirt and I was leaking a little around the heart. Mr. Blake was telling his friend, Mr. Roldbrown, about his ex- periences with me one day, and Mr. Blake said, How much will you give me for a good pen ? Well, I don't know, I'll look at it first. He looked at me and said, I will give you SB3.50. Mr. Blake said, Sold Mr. Roldbrown took his pocketbook and paid. Then he picked me up and screwed my cap on so tight that my brain began to whirl and soon I swooned. I-Ie, thinking I had died, worked my self-filling lever back and forth vigorously to start artificial respiration. Then I began to breathe, at first in short puffs and pants, but at last I was all right except that when he took my cap off, my head began to swell. He swore and said that he would get rid of me as soon as possible. I was glad, as I did not want his company -anyway. i He started for the Grand Canyon next morning and after we arrived 14 THE CRIMSON RAMBLER and he was looking at the beautiful sunset, he put his hands to his pockets and to his disgust found me thereg he pulled me out and flung me into space. I thought that I was going to die of fright, but as I was going down I struck my head on a rock. That is the last thing I remember until one September morning I awoke and found myself in a store window on Broadway, where I was known as the famous unbreakable pen, being the only one to be tossed into the Grand Canyon and come out unbroken and alive. Well, now I guess I'll go to the Carter's Ink Cafe and get my dinner as it is 11.30 and-First come, first served. H, E. B., '27. AN EXCITING ADVENTURE It was an ideal day of early summer on the Island, just the kind of a day for bathers. Alice and Kate were sitting on the porch of a very pretty cottage. Suddenly Kate, who was looking seaward said, Look Alice, isn't that the 'Wanderer' coming in P Looks that way, answered Alice. I Let's go get our bathing suits on and have a ride behind the steamer when it is leaving, said Kate. Pm with you, answered Alice. jumping up and going into the cottage. The Wanderer seldom docked at the Island, but some special pas- sengers who were aboard wished to be left this day. The steamer was the largest one that ever stopped at the summer colonies. The young bathers always had great sport jumping in behind the de- parting steamers. VVhile one's body is under the water, one will be drawn toward the steamer but as soon as one comes to the top of the water one is driven backward with great force. The bathers had found this ride great fun, and Kate and Alice were expecting just such a ride when they ran to put on their bathing suits. The Wanderer was just leaving the pier, which was deserted by people so early in the season, when the two girls ran down the path with Alice in the lead. Hurry, Alice, we will miss it l shouted Kate. They reached the end of the pier and Alice dived into the foaming blue water. So close did she dive to the steamer that she had to dive sideways to clear the stern. Kate followed close behind, but she did not jump side- ways. Her body went like a thin red streak into the water only a few feet behind the propeller. THE CRIMSON RAMBLER 15 Instantly Kate realized what she had done. She was too close and the Wanderer was a larger boat than those that she had been used to. Kate felt herself shoot forward, drawn by a force too great to resist. Both arms were stretched out from her shoulders, her feet were close together, she was facing the boat. Something slapped at the fingers of her left hand. cold fear gripped her. If the propeller got her-she dare not think! With almost superhuman strength Kate struggled to pull her arm down and at last she succeeded. This, however, only made bad mat- ters worse, for her feet were pulled toward the propeller. The water cut sharply across her toes. Katels mind worked quickly: she realized that she must get to the top and get there quickly, for her lungs were beginning to hurt. Kate opened her eyesg over her hung a dark object framed in a sheet of white foamg only a few inches separated her from a horrible death. If she kicked to try to force herself backward she might slip forward a few inches before she started backwardg these few inches might mean death. Suddenly she shot upward and before she even had a chance to fill her aching lungs with air she was going backward at a terrific rate. Back past the pier. she went straight out to sea. She was so tired that she did not try to get out of the current which carried her. When she hnally did try. it took her three-quarters of an hour to get back. Alice was sitting on the pier and she looked rather frightened. She had jumped into the whirling water and had been whirled around and around until she was dizzy. Both girls have decided to look before they leap after this. R. M. C., '27, MY FORD Once I had a Ford, But the thing wouldn't go, No matter how hard I pushed with my toe. So I hired a mechanic Who thought he was big, And who even said He could fix any rig. He tinkered around The most of the day, Then he came to ask me If him I would pay. I says, says I, Now, young man, Do you think that we Can start that can? 16 THE CRIMSON RAMBLER He answered me saying, I'll not guarantee, But if you say, Weill go out and see. And out we did go, As sure as you're born, But nothing would run, Not even the horn. Now I says, You'll get for your pay, just the chance To haul it away. He hauled it away, Gee, he was sore, But, I was glad It was mine no more. G. E. W., '27. HAPPY Happy was a boy about seventeen years of age. His hair was red, his face freckled, and he had a pug-nose which stood out prominently. Everybody knew him as Happy, because he always was either whistling or singing the popular airs. It was midsummer and Happy was slowly walking along the banks of a river, which was very shallow and swift in some places and deep and sluggish in others. He was walking along slowly, probably thinking of school and at the same time whistling Blue Skies. On rounding a bend he came into view of the swimming hole. There in tlfe center of the pool was Scrapper, the town bully, who was beating the water till it foamed, then going out of sight. Now Happy had no love for Scrapper. Why should he, hadn't Scrapper beaten him to a pulp only a few weeks ago? Was he just trying to play a trick? Would he get some unsuspecting would-be rescuer out in the middle of the pool and hold him in under the water? Scrapper went under again. He can't be fooling, said Happy, and if he is, it is better to be held in under than to take a chance on his drowning. Well, here goes, and with a run he took a perfect dive and came up within a few feet of Scrapper. The water fairly boiled around the boy and Happy realized that if he came into reach of Scrapper he would be lost if the latter should cling to him, for Scrapper was heavier and stronger than he. So he dived deep and swam in under the water THE CRIMSON RAIMBLER 17 until he saw Snapper over his head. Then with a few kicks he came to the surface and grabbed Scrapper from behind: taking a firm one-arm hold around his neck he started for shore. It was only a few feet but Happy went down twice, and came up again blowing and spluttering for air. .Xt last his feet bit the sandy bottom. Happy soon had Scrapper on shore and began artificfal respiration. In a few minutes Scrapper'l groaned, his eyelids lluttered and opened and he gasped, You. l lappy stopped. stood up. looked sheepish. said, Yes, me, then began whistling After the Storm. Things are different now. People will stop and look at two boys going side by side, each carrying a fish pole or a swimming suit. Now l wonder what's happened? asks one townsman of another. Those boys used to fight something terrible. Probably you can guess. One of the boys is a red-headed, freckled- faced chap: the other, a tall husky youth called Scrapper. But hardly anyone calls him Scrapper,' now, for he has changed since he chums with Happy He is always willing to help a certain small chap, and is never known to pick a fight with anyone. It is near sunset of a summer dayg two boys are walking side by side up the river bank. One is whistling Remember, and as they round a bend in the stream and come in sight of a clear, mirror-like pool, the larger lad, no other than Snapper says, I'll say I remember. The short lad Hushes, shakes his head and starts whistling, Every- thing's Gonna Re All-right. W. E. J. THE TROUBLES OF A MIRROR It seems as if the members of my family have the hardest lot of anyone else I know. Really, I donlt see what we've done to deserve such punishment. Now, I'm not a handsome mirror at all, I'm just a plain mirror with a brown wooden frame. Perhaps that is why I am picked on so. When I was taken from the store an,old lady bought me and hung me up over her kitchen sink. I led quite a pleasant life there. She was a nice old lady with a kind face. Of course she looked at me a great deal because she had to wash a lot of dishes. . Finally, the old lady died, and I was sold at auction. I was bought by an important looking man. I-Ie carried me to his home and I was 18 THE CRIMSON RAMBLER carried into an upstairs room. It was a nice looking room. By its appear- ance I could see that a young man occupied it. I waited patiently until six-thirty for him to appear. Then he did! I wasn't prepared for the shock! He came rushing up to me and looked at me. His hair was standing on end and there was a lot of dirt on his face. But the worst part of it was he had one of those blamed things that they call imustaches. It was the awfullest looking thing I ever saw. He was only about seven- teen and he just managed to have a mustache. He went downstairs and when he finally came back he had his hair wet and it took him a good half hour to comb it. Every hair had to lie just so. And the mustache! Honest, it was enough to make me fairly sick. Of course I knew he was going to see his girl. Well I had to look at him for a long time. One day he was in front of me primping when something hit me, I guess, anyway, I cracked. I think to this day that it was his face that cracked me. Finally the little girl of the house came and got me and carried me to a large building. I was taken into what must have been a basement. Before I knew it, dozens of girls were crowding around me trying to see themselves and trying to powder and paint their faces and comb their hair all at once. I finally decided that I was in a girls' basement at the high school. I am still there. I have a good time laughing at those crazy girls. A few of them are good-looking but most of them are terribly homely. E. C., '27. PORTLAND FIFTY YEARS FROM NOW One day a letter was delivered to me by the mail carrier, inviting me to go to a friend's house in Portland, Maine. As I had not been in this city for fifty years, for I had moved to the West on a ranch, I answered the letter and told Dorothy, my friend, that I would need considerable ex- planation about how to reach her home as I could not remember the city. The next letter I received from Dorothy surprised me very much 5 she wrote, I'll have my aeroplane be in New York City just two weeks from the date this letter was written, at eight o'clock in the morning at the New York Aeroplane Station. If you do not know about this station ask any- one in the city and you'll surely find it. Thinking this over, I decided to send .a .telegram to Dorothy telling her I would arrive at the date she set. I reached New York City at eight o'clock the night before the date for the plane to arrive, so I went to a hotel. The next morning I asked for directions to the plane station and found the aeroplane of Dorothy's without difficulty. As I had never ridden in one THE CRIMSON RAMBLER 10 of the planes, I was a little bit nervous, but found myself very comfortably seated. Now, said the driver, yer just imagine yerself going up a steep hill in an auto. Following directions, I felt very much satisfied with the plane. The air was very cold, and I had to have a good many wraps on: when the driver noticed I was cold, he pulled down some panes of glass from somewhere and I was closed in and should have thought myself in a closed car had I not known the difference. I found several magazines near by and read some of the articles. but did not read very many. for in about ten minutes I was informed that I was at Dorothv's house. That afternoon, Dorothy said we would go into the city and go to the new Theatre. As we went out of her house I noticed that this street. which had once been beautiful with trees had none now. Dorothy ex- plained that the trees had been cut down so that the aeroplanes could land more easily. Many people had aeroplanes. and over my head I could see a great number of them. There were so many automobiles in the streets that a policeman could not stand on the streets but had raised platforms and the automobiles were ordered by signals. At intervals all cars were stopped for pedestriansg instead of surface electric cars, all were elevated and subway cars. . The next day Dorothy said we would go to Standish: as this was my native village I was delighted to go there to see the little village once more. VVhen we had gone about ten miles in a subway car we had to change to an electric surface car. I could not tell where we were so asked Dorothy. who said that we were leaving Gorham: she also told me that Standish and Sebago Lake were suburbs of- Portland. VV here my house had once been was now a large five-story department storey policemen were nearly every- where and ,Standish Corner was what I had remembered Portland as. I found another one of my ,friends here who told me that the population of what usied' to be the village of Standish was now 80,0001 Standish and Sebagcfffgake were both supplied with Sebago Lake water, Standish High School building was now a grammar school and a new high school building had been erected of stone with all improvements, including a gym g the high school accommodated 5,000 pupils. When I had been with my friend for two weeks, I decided that I had rather go back to the ranch where everything was peaceful and quiet, for it seemed more like home to me. M. A.

W. E. I., '27. RESULTS OF HEAVY EATING I had had my breakfast at five oiclock that morning and had gone to Portland on the train. I had had a small lunch at noon and was on the go again. Because of twisting train schedules I did not get home until quar- ter of twelve that night. Naturally, when I got home. I was tired and hungry. Hungry is putting it mild in this case-I was ravenously hungry -dying-starving. Therefore, I cast aside all scruples, which is ordi- narily against my rules and regulations, and gathered some food on the table and sat down to eat. My midnight repast consisted of cold black cofi'ee, doughnuts, and a big hunk of cheese. I ate six doughnuts washed 22 THE CRIMSON RAMBLER down with three cups of cold coffee and along with it, ate two good-sized pieces of cheese. It took less than ten minutes to eat this wonderful meal. When one has gorged himself as I had, he generally feels sleepy and longs for bed. Such was the way with me, only in a more marked degree. In- side of two minutes I was dead to the world and found myself in Para- dise, Seventh Heaven,-call it what you will. I was in a large room, which contained many seatsg at the opposite end of the room was a man with brown hair, wearing glasses, bending over a desk. As I walked down the room he looked up with a tired and wor- ried expression on his face. Instantly I recognized my former classmate, Wilson Hawkes. I asked him what he was doing and he said he was Professor of Foreign Languages at Harvard. So this must be his class room. I remembered how well he used to be able to read Latin as if it were English, and I was not in the least surprised at this bit of news. He said he had been teaching for several years and had just been selected as Ambassador to France. So this was his last year at Harvard for the time being. I asked about our other classmates. Ruth Clark was the leader of a new political party and was running for President of the United States. She was campaigning just now and had been in Cambridge only a few days before. Suddenly, I was in the land of sunshine, where it is always warm. I was walking along the street of a smart suburban town when I came before a very beautiful mansion of Spanish style with a wide lawn before it, cov- ered with flowers, shrubs and trees. I walked up the driveway, where I saw a Rolls-Royce come to a stop before a screened porch. A tall, smartly dressed girl was stepping out of the car, while a liveried chauffeur stood at the door. As the girl turned, I recognized Clara Lombard. As she dis- missed the chauffeur she recognized me and asked me in. I followed her to the porch, while she rang for a servant. She ordered high balls, and while sipping them we talked of the past, present and future. She had become famous as a movie actress, and was working for United Artists' Studio. She was now starring in A Lady of Leisure, playing as leading lady opposite John Barrymore. This was her home in Beverly Hills. We talked on and then I happened to think of Marion Clark. When one thought of Clara one always thought of Marion. Marion, it seems, was married and living luxuriously with her famous husband, a movie actor in Beverly Hills not far from Clara. The fates had certainly been kind to these two. I found myself murmuring that I must go, when Clara faded and I was in a large tent full of cheering people. The tent was crowded and I could barely squeeze in. I heard the-name jackson called everywhere and I wondered where I had heard that name before. I asked of my THE CRIMSON RAIMBLER 23 neighbor who this was and he said it was VVilbur Jackson, champion featherweight boxer of the world. and found that he had married a Steep Falls girl and was living in Chicago. I asked about our other classmates and found that he knew where Lawrence Rand was situated. Lawrence was catcher on the New York Yankees of the American League. I thought this not strange because Lawrence had played well at Standish High. Speaking of Lawrence reminded me of Gerald Wood. VVilbur said he had just been visiting Gerald and found him quite well and happy. Gerald was living on a Georgia plantation, where the old-fashioned cus- toms were still maintained. The owner hired about fifty negroes for cot- ton picking and hired several white men for bosses, Gerald was boss over twenty niggers, who did everything on the plantation besides pick- ing cotton. Besides Hbossingf' Gerald had to help to show the niggers how to do certain things, one thing was to clean about thirty mules every morning by rubbing them down with Hr brooms. This job he hated, otherwise he was happy. Slowly VVilbur drifted away and I found myself in a crowded thor- oughfare. I saw a tall, dark-complexioned man walking along, swinging his Malacca cane over his arm. He was very distinguished-looking, with a high silk hat, a swallow-tailed coat, spats, his cane, and a monocle in his left eye, also a cheroot sticking at an acute angle from his mouth. I glanced at him a second time and finally recognized Harold Brown. Nat- urally I stopped and questioned him. This was London, I found, and Harold had fallen heir to a large estate just outside the city. He was a true English gentleman and just now was spending a few days in London at his club. He had not as yet acquired a wife and had no desire to, although he had found several good bargains. I asked after Hartley XVard. Hartley, it seems, was living in Paris, France, and had become a famous actor on the stage. He was extremely popular with the opposite sex and had been married and divorced twice and was entering his third matrimonial affair. Harold asked me out to his manor but I declined. Suddenly I was back in the United States, State of Maine, Cumber- land County, and behold, little old Sebago Lake! It had not changed in the least. As I was walking down the street I saw a tall, slim, woman advancing towards me. She walked slowly and my curiosity was aroused. As I drew near, she called to me by my first- name and I was surprised as I recognized Barbara Mead. but it was not Mead now, I found. It had been changed about f1ve years before. Barbara at last had got a man, but a 24 THE CRIMSON RAMBLER great mistake she had made. After six months of married life she was obliged to get out and dig for herself. I asked after our classmate, Bernice Dolloff, and Barbara said she received a letter from her now and then. Bernice had entered a convent at Montreal, Canada. about two years before and was known by the name of Sister justina. I then asked of the whereabouts of Eleanor Christie. She said she had heard that Eleanor was teaching mathematics at Cornell University and was married to.a Missionary. She had not been on any journeys with her husband because they had just recently been mar- ried, but as soon as school closed they were going to China, he to teach the poor heathen religion, and she as his helper. Suddenly 1 awoke. It was nearly morning and I was rolled up in the bed clothes in the center of the bed with the most terrible pains I had ever known. Ah! that cofifee, those doughnuts, that terrible cheese-l ! No wonder I felt badly. No more sleep for me that morning. M. A.

We thank the Superintending School Committee and voters of the town for their assistance in securing a hall suitable for basketball, which was greatly appreciated by the school. We had a goo-d basketball team this year, but owing to a late start, caused by delay in the remodeling of the hall, we were unable to obtain many games. We did have four games, in which the team showed re- markable playing for first year men, as Mr. Johnson had developed a team from green men, which was able to make a good showing with the teams played. The members of the team were: Wilbur Jackson, rf Charles Graffam, lf Alden Shaw, c Clyde Dolloff, lg Lawrence Rand, rg The games played, and the scores are as follows: Standish .................................................. 25 Buxton ......... ............ 7 Windham ...... ............. ............ 3 6 Standish ...... .......... 2 4 Buxton .................................................... 19 Standish ................................................. 13 Standish ............,...................,................. 19 Windham ............................................... 18 Although there were only four school games played, there were inter- class games. The first game between the juniors and seniors was won by the juniors, 23 to 21.

There were nine other class games played, the seniors winning the championship in a hard fought game from the juniors in an overtime period. The score was: Seniors 32-Juniors 31. The standing of the classes is as follows: Won.

The team loses by graduation two men, Wilbur jackson and Lawrence Rand. 42 THE CRIMSON RAMBLER N . . BASEBALL The prospects 'for a winning baseball team at Standish High this spring :are very bright. Since the new athletic field is not ready, we may have to play at Steep'Falls at the first of the season. We have seven letter men available from last year's nine, and with these regulars onthe job we will be able to offer strong resistance to all opponents. Charles Graffam, who was elected captain for the year of '27, has the reputation of 'a fine player. The other veterans of the team are jackson, Hawkes. C. Dolloff, N. Dolloff, Shaw, Welch. Elmer Lindquist, our pitcher for last year has left us, and gone to Newton High and Guy Peter- son, a junior, is proving good as pitcher. The team will be coached this year, as last. by the principal, Mr. johnson. ' This year we joined the Y. M. C. A. League. VVith the members of the league and with other teams, Raymond Thompson, Manager. has arranged a fine schedule of twelve games. The schedule as follows: , April 20-Alfred at Standish. April 23-Standish at Windham. April 26-Standish at Alfred. April 29-Standish at Gorham. May 4-New Gloucester at Standish May 13-Gorham at Standish.
