Determination--A resolve that no matter how hard you have to work you are going to make yourself into a real player. 2. Physical fitness--Athletics require the best of physical fitness 5. Mental alertness--Quick thinking. 4. of many 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. breaksn 10. clean. Experience--A real athlete can not be made in a day or a month or a year. Hard work, constant practice, and the experience hard fought games are necessary. All games have rulesg honor and respect them. Do your best alwaysg keep faith with your comrades. Don't lose your temper in defeat. Win modestlyg lose graciously. Remember that athletic contests are games--don't let nbad or defeat ruin your enjoyment. Treat your opponents as friends--play the game hard but Athletics develop the character of youth. However, none of the above characteristics of athletics are sufficient justification for an absolute faith in them. The real inspiration of such faith lies, first, in the fact that if athletics are properly supervised and administered, they serve as a practical course in the develop- ment of the character of youth. The responsibility of representing a school, rather than himself, provides one with a proving ground forothe growth of the best in his character. 0 Second, the individual is trained to overcome obstacles, both internal and external, and to conquer them with the urge of a strong desire to win. all the do this a smile manship mean in as this Charles W. Kennedy in Colle e Athletics once said, nIt is necessary for one to mobilize, at a g ven t me and a given place, skill and intelligence and courage that he possesses, to in the face of the most strenuous oppositiong to do it with and a cool head, to do it in a spirit of chivalrous sports- that will not permit him to stoop to that which is base and order to win. If any system is not very directly serving certainly many of us are in error as education should be in the case of a that furnishes such a training an educational purpose, then to what some of the ends of- growing person. J. Johnson '44 THE WAR .LN Hl:'lLA'l'lON TU US Are you doing all you can to help win this war? No doubt you would not hesitate to answernYes.n Many people are victims of wish- ful thinkingg many people fool themselves into believing what they wish to believe, Many people do not fully realize what helping to win this war actually means. ' Ygp say that you are investing all the money you can spare in war bonds. Are you sure you are investing as much as you can? How do you compare with the service man who spends part of his salary each month for war bonds? Don't forget also, that this is just a way of investing your money to aid against inflation--that the government will buy war materials anyhow. You really aren't making such a sacrifice after all, you will get your money back after the Ware . Black markets are as dangerous to the welfare of America as fifth columnists. It is, I admit, hard to get along without as much as we have been accustomed to buy, but how much better off we are than the conquered countries in Europe! May we never experi- ence the disaster that has overtaken them. You say you work in a defense plant, are an air-raid warden or a Red Cross worker. Fine! But what have you done to keep up the morale of the soldier boys you know or the boys stationed in your section. Have you invited them into your homes? Have you taken an extra hour of your leisure time to write that cheering, friendly letter? And you defense workers--how many days have you been voluntarily absent from work? If you can afford to loaf, how about taking some of your pay to raise the soldiers' salaries? Do the true, conscientious soldiers have any desire to loaf? Do you realize that every hour you don't work you are jeopardizing, possibly sacrificing the life of some soldier? It might be your husband, your brother, your father. There 1sn't one of us that can afford to shirk, to loaf, to hoard. We can only afford to work, to save, to sacrifice. F. Blake '45 DO YOUR BEST - When a country is at war, our own self-sacrifices, more than anything else, help our boys to win. Each one of us should be will- ing to give up all the luxuries we have enjoyed, no matter how small they may be. The combination of each small sacrifice is the combin- ation that is going to win the war. A great many of our people do not seem to take the war seriously enough to really understand the true facts about rationing. Neither do they understand that if they realinquish some of their buying power now, they will have more to buy later. Rationing is the only method thought of so far that insures an equal distribution of food to each citizen. Some people, however, complain because of the bother of so many books, or because they cannot go into a store and order anything they wish. It is these same people who hoarded sugar for entertaining, who bought cases of can goods before the point system, who use that extra gallon of gasoline for pleasure. This war cannot be won or lost by soldiers alone, although soldiers are a great factor which will win the war. The workers on the homefront influence the final result more than is generally appreciated, Please notice that I said workers--not shirkers or hoarders, This war will never be won by strikes in mines, in rail- roads, in shipyards. Why is it that so many of us feel we must earn morefiwimore money daily? The average soldier, who may be called upon to make the supreme sacrifice, whose lives, at the least, are seriously disrupted if not permanently handicapped, earn an average of fifty dollars a month. Can you citizens of America face these soldiers without the least qualm--with the knowledge that you are doing your best? If you can, you are true Americans. nDo your bitu, is a good slogan, Udo your bestn, is better. M. Coolbroth '45 THE OBSERVATION POST Observation Posts are now distributed throughout the United States in the smallest town as well as in the largest city. We are now on the watch constantly night and day. Both young and old are trying to do their bit to help this much needed war protection. Many patriotic citizens have enlisted, many more are needed. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese, we wasted no times Plans were quickly drawn up for the running of observa- tion towers throughout the country. People from each locality were chosen to supervise and to organize the administration of the Post. Volunteers were quickly recruited and soon there was a sufficient number to carry on the watches in an effective manner. Because of the many volunteers no one person was needed to serve more than a few hours each week. From the day of the unforgetable event at Pearl Harbor a continual watch has been kept for enemy planes, reports have carefully been sent in by the watchers and as care- fully checked by their superiorsl The duty of every observer is to serve regularly and carefully with the feeling of great responsibility. There are certain rules that must be followed while rn duty. These rules were established for the purpose of quick, efficient service. If they are not care- fully followed, they lose their usefulness. Any occupation, as time passes, is apt to become somewhat monotonous. This has proved true even of the Observation Post. People who were so willing to do their part in the beginning have dropped off one by one, leaving the most of the work to a few conscientious citizens. It is true that nothing exciting or serious has happened, but it is not true that nothing ever will happen. To use an old saying, NAn ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.n The enemy knows that we are on the alert and will be able to cope with an enemy attack if need beg therefore, let us keep on guard until the final victory is ours. . E. Emery '45 I NEVER SAY DIE uThere is no greater inspiration to any American boy than Lou Gehrig. For if the awkward, inept and downright clumsy player that he was in the beginning could through sheer drive and determination turn himself into the finest first-base covering machine in all baseball, then nothing country.n Lou Gehrig didn' t is impossible to any man or boy in this mean to become a symbol. All he wanted to do was to play first base for the Yankees, drive in as many runs as possible, take care of his family, be thoughtful of those around him, and, when he was attacked by an illness he knew would be fatal to face death with courage. But on that simple formula he fashion- ed a career that inspired millions of all that is fine and decent and If it is impossible for us to believe, the influence of his life on those who had only read of him, of persons and became a symbol brave. measure, as it was for him' to not only on those about him but it is easy to fix his place in baseball. The Crown Prince, they called Gehrig, when he was hitting behind Ruth in the Yankee batting order. That was one of the great- est hitting combinations baseball has ever known. Ruth alone was enough to terrorize an enemy pitcher. Ruth with Gehrig following was even more terrorizing. It was Ruth that got top billing though, for Ruth was King. When Ruth moved out, Di Maggie quickly moved in to take the fancy of the crowds. Lou never minded that either. It was'enough for him that Di Maggionwas a Yank--and his friendkxnu D Then tragedy struck Lou Gehrig at the height of his career. Some writers insisted Time had caught up with him, no one suspected he was the victim of infantile paralysis. The day came, when Lou, realizing he was no longer an asset, asked to be taken team. After a check-up at the Mayo Clinic the Yankees bulletin that let the world know Gehrig was the victim of infantile paralysis. The next two years is a story from the released the of a form of heroic courage and ultimate death. It was over a year ago that the big fellow left this world. There 1sn't even tho shadow of anyone who might take his place on the horizon. Nor will there over be. Baseball produces only one Lou Gehcig as it produced only one Cy Cobb, or Babe Ruth, or one of a few other individuals whose niche is peculiarly their own. He's gone, but to the millions who saw him he is as fresh in the memory as yesterday. The true Yankee fan never will go to the.vast gray stadium without half expecting to see old npiano legen jog out to take his stand at first base, his easy carriage and massive frame symbolizing more than anything else the confidence and power of the champions.

B. Swasey '43 SAGEBRUSH THRIVES UNTIL PROVED USEFUL WHey ther, pardner! What ya diggin' up that sagebrush for? Haven't ya heard the good news? Why, that thar bush your a diggin' at is worth almost its weight in gold. What am ah a talkin' a- bout? Well, now you just throw down them tools an' listen to me. A fella over to the bar announced this mornin' that a Doctor Kinney-Corliss R. Kinney, ah believes, to be exact--from the Uni- versity of Utah, has made a terrible important discovery. He says this doctor found a way to get oil from sagebush. This oil can be used in making them thar cosmetics, perfumes, flavorin's, mouth- washes, tonics, dyes, an' soaps. And ah'm a-tellin' you right now that the soap is the only one ah' a-hankering to use. The rest is for them city folks as far as ah'm concerned. Who wants to wash their mouth every five minutes? Ah'm doggoned sure ah don't. An' it don't make no diff'rence what color ma pants are either. They'd probably end up all muddy anyway. Well, anyway all ah knows is we are all bound to get rich, since from 15,000 pounds of them cursed leaves an' blooms yonder comes somethin' like one hundred pounds of that ther precious oils as that scientist calls it. And above all, this oil sells at 8 dollars a pound. Here ah've been going broke all these years a-tryin' to get rid of this pest an' now its a-goin' to turn right around an' make me rich. Even the mountain goats starve on this hated sagebrush. Doctor Kinney says this amber colored oil is composed of eucalyptus --ah believes its pronounced--turpentine, pine, en' camphor. An' it has,g tangy out-of-door smell, which ah likes. Well, all ah've got to say, little sagebrush, is that You have put up a mighty hard Struggle to prove that you are worth sur- viving and that you are useful. Ah'm terribly thankful to you. Good-bye, pardner.N - E. Alley '43 TFE PATIENT The doctor took out the stitches, swabbed the scar with a dis- infectant, and then made an examination of his patient. He felt carefully around the region of the abdomen, put a stethescope to the heart and lungs. He put a clinical thermometer into the mouth. There was no chart, so he made methodical notes for his own use in a little book he carried. The doctor folded up his stethescope and put it in his bag, took the thermometer out of the patient's mouth and went over to the narrow window to read it. 'Temperature exactly normaln, he read. He shook the ther- mometer down, immersed it in a glass of water, put it in its case and came back to the iron cot. He opened his bag again to put the thermometer away, and, as he rearranged some bottles, he murmered half aloud to the priest standing near by, WI've saved him, Yes, I've saved him--for the executioner. W. Gallant '44 YOUTH AND THE FUTURE American youths calling the fighting Americans all over the world--the men and women working in our factories and steel mills, making the big and important link in the chain of life, the nurses and doctors remedying our ills and prescribing a new way of life, the sculptors molding a new form, the artist touching up the old lifeg the architects remodeling our father's days for our sons, the ministers and chaplains keeping up our morale and teaching us the ways of God so that we may shape our fuLurc.accordingly. As an American youth with the freedom to speak and write, I am saying just what I feel I want to say, not what I think someone wants me to say. As we graduate from high school, we must think a- head several years and in our minds face the future. We, the youth of today and the adults of tommorrow, realize that we have many difficult problems facing us to solve, problems that even our ancestors have failed to solve. Our prayer is that we, through the grace of God, be capable of solving these problems to the best of our abilities. Many of these problems must be an- swered immediately. Shall we, after graduation, work in a war plant that will discharge a lot of us after the war is over or per- haps close altogether? Shall we go into some branch of the armed Service and come home to uncertain jobs which we are not trained to perform, or what branch of the Service shall we enter? Shall we girls go on to school and learn to do some particular job to keep the ball rolling? .P . Important as these questions are,the problems that we are going to have to unravel in the future are just as important. What is going to be done with our soldiers who are mentally and phys- ically handicapped? Is there any way that we can equalize the opportunities of those whose education has been cut short and the opportunities of those who have been lucky enough to continue in the higher branches of learning? Are the women going to be satisfied to return to their original place in the homes and have their jobs open to returning men? Is there going to be an everlasting peace or are we going to be involved in a similar holocaust again? Before we can answer these questions we must stop and decide what we want of the future. The first thing we want in our future is an everlasting peace. The youth of today' is not and will not be satisfied with a mere promise of peace. We demand an uncondi- tional surrender of our enemies. We also ask for the wisdom to deal with them with the spirit of brotherhood, not vengeance. While dealing with the foreign we must take into consideration their type of government, education, and ability to carry responsi- bilities before the war. We will probably bring about'a complete change in their history. We must produce men with the knowledge, tolerance, and the ability to guide these unfortunate people to a peace loving democracy. We must set up an unshakable government which they will work to keep and enjoy working for. After we have gained this peace we will want more. We will not be content with things passed down to us. New things, new inven-. tions, made from our ideas, made from our own materials, handled with our hands, secured from our lands, are what we want. We want a chance to advance in ideas, as well as actions. We want chances to travel in our own new machines and creations, to appreciate America and the opportunities she holds out to us. We want to build and shape a nation--to build it bigger and stronger than those before us did and have a chance for improvement in the future. But we must also realize that nothing is stronger than the weakest link. Therefore, we, the youth of America, solemnly promise to search ourselves, take what we find and build a stronger self. Faced with problems, beset with difficulties, discouraged and some- times desparing we, the youth of today and the adults of tomorrow, face the coming year with a steady faith in the challenging future that only America can give. . N. Dole '43 REFLECTIONS OF A SENIOR There are many things connected with school life which give a Senior cause for reflection. Possibly his nature is such, that he is continually thinking of the future and wondering what it has in store for him, or, his mental machinery may be so arranged that it is necessary to reflect upon the past, often times wondering whether or not he has spent it in a profitable manner. ' Yet, there are other causes for reflection. The Senior may r:grxt'the many opportunities which have been lost to him forever, by which he might have improved himself so as to be better prepared to fight the battles of life. Possibly there is a feeling of sad- ness which steals over hlm, when he remembers that his conduct has been such that it has hurt his character and left a bad influence upon others who may have possibly taken him for a model. It is surely an important period in a student's life when he is to be graduated from high school. Unless he has some opportu- nity before aim he is oractically thrown out into the world to take his place by the side of others who are striving to accomplish what success they can in the grim battle of life. There is, however, a bright side to look upon. A student who has been diligent and has made the best of his opportunities, need not have any fear of being unable to attain the high degrees of perfection that he is aiming for. If he does not attain them he will, at least, have the conso- lation that he tried. We, as Seniors about to graduate, hope that our under class- mates will profit by our mistakes, will put their best into their school work and will have no cause for regret when their commence- ment draws near. WGive to the world the best that you have. And the best will come bfrck to you. C, Harrington '45 I AM AN AMERICAN I am one person in all the vast world of people. Only one.

AMERICANISM nAmerica is God's Crucible, the great Melting Pot where all the races of Europe are melting and reforming! God is making the Ameri- can,n said Israel Zangwill. America is not composed of one race. From the first coloniza- tion of our country up to the present time people came here from many lands--different in religion, different in language, different in customs. The one thing that was uppermost in all of their minds, the one thing in which they were not different--the central control- ling force that drove and sustained them through hardships and pros- perity--was the idea that the individual has a definite value in the world. To the foreign born, America was a haven to which order to escape the tyranny of hereditary rulers. The ditions of this country were an open revolt toward the type of government. The human individual knew that he to create and to enjoy the fruits of his country. they came in earliest tra- tyrannical had a right There are sections in this country in which you could imagine yourself in some foreign country. The people in these sections have the old world customs and use their languages. But in the public schools to which these immigrants send their children for their edu- cation you will find the fairly modern, intelligent, and truly pat- riotic American. These children will in time become true citizens of Ameriea, for it is in these free American schools that young America is being taught and allowed to simulate knowledge and to ad- vance in the intellectual world as far or as little as he chooses. He is not told how, when, or where he shall do these things, but the knowledge that he is not driven makes him eager to standards of his adopted country. live up to the another assurance To the citizens of the United States there is an assurance that their religion will not bar them things of life. The colonists did not intend that should be controlled by leaders who influence the people by their religious sentiments. To America can be given the credit of separ- ating religious matters from the civil government. This separation was made legal by the Constitution of the United States. Therefore, today, any man, woman, or child, no matter what race, or creed, can live freely, securely, and with fear of none except of his God in this democratic country of America. from the good their new freedom It has been said that our ngovernment is a living thing.n One writer has pointed out to us that under our two great political par- ties our country has seen many radical changes in the ideas and sen- timents of this American people some good, some bad, but, through them all, the leaders have had the sense of balance to keep America as it was created and as Americans wish to keep it.

It has put the natural re- sources to work for man. It has made studies in agriculture, man- ufacturing, and commerce. When a new thing is discovered, someone is ready to put it to work. When a new machine is made someone is there to improve it. When a flood strikes the country, someone is ready to do something about it. Even when a fire destroys cities they are built up again more modern, better equipped, and safer in which to live. All this is done, not under pressure, but from the American desire to do things. Every man has reason to be proud of his country, the material success, the power it has achieved, the advancement of education and civilization. Every man should remember and love the land of his birth, but if he is to make his home in this land of ours, let him pledge allegiance to the democracy that is based on the rights of people and supported by the people. Let him remember that his freedom was dearly won. Let him drop his un-American ideas and work for the betterment and advancement of the country of his birth or adoption. Let him help prove that a Democracy can accomplish what Imperialism has failed to do, but let every native-born American also realize that his freedom can be dearly lost. NThore can be no fifty-fifty Americanism, in this country. There is room here for only one hundred per cent Americanism, only for these who are Americans and nothing else.u . C. Wescott '44 - SAMMY, THE SKUNK I was born in a booming town called Sliverfool valley. My parents were two of the leading citizens and held high offices in the community. I was the only child so I was indeed spoiled. Father used to bring me home mushroom umbrellas each week, as they were the fashion. I When I was still very young, I was allowed to go out walking by myself. Gne day a large two-legged creature passed by and when it saw me it ran and screamed. Mother explained that it was a female human being, but I still didn't understand why she ran. As the time passed and I grew older, my education was com- pleted and I was elected mayor of our community. This pleased my parents very much, but when little HToodlesH moved to our community they were angry. I thought nTeodlesU was cute, and she and I dated frequently. As the time wont by nToodlesN and I announced our engagement. Mother and dad were furious, but when I was elected as district attorney of Punch Valley they were reconciled to the engagement. New Toodlos and I and all of our children live happily in Punch Valley. Mother and dad visit us often. My education has been completed for new I know why people run when we skunks arrive. M. Blake '45 RECONCILIATION He was always her protector and big brother. Whenever his feel- .ings were hurt hers were too. She always regarded him with joy and - pride. This was the feeling Jerry Malone and Judy Garson of Sunny- ville had for each other, even when they were in the first grade, a feeling which became deeper and deeper as they grew to manhood and womanhood, Un the night of their Senior reception they made their plans for the future. He was to work in a machine shop where there was a good chance of advancement. Judy was going to continue her study of dramatics for the next two years. But their long dreamed of plans came to an abrupt end on December 7th, 1941, ' Jerry received the news as did every brave American, with a secret dread in his heart. He was not long in realizing that his immediate duty lay in service to his country. His parents, reluctantly but proudly, consented to his enlistment. Judy, however, did not understand Jerry's sudden action suade him to remain in the machine shop. and tried in vain to per- 'Jerry, there will be plenty of boys to enter the service with- out your doing so.

The following day Jerry, not caring what happened to him, enlisted in the Navy, because he realized it was the only patriotic thing to do. On the day of his departure Jerry's parents accompanied him to the station. He looked in vain for Judy, even after he boarded the train. Just as he was losing all hope, he noticed a girl swinging her arms violently at him and shouting, NGood-bye, Jerryn. Three he was now understand unhappiness he had caused her, 2 sailor and proud of it. He days later Judy received a letter from Jerry saying that said he hoped she would why he had gone and that she would forgive him fer any Then came the blackest day of her life when she learned Jerry , He waited impatiently day after day for a letter. When he did not receive her answer, he heartbrokenly wrote another and yet an- - other. Still Judy did not answer, so finally Jerry ceased to write. It was from Mr. and Mrs. Malone that Judy heard Jerry had been sent overseas. This, coupled with the fact that the majority of boys she knew were enlisting or being drafted, brought a gradual change in Judy's attitude. She new realized the importance of Jerry's immediate response to his country's call. She felt proud of him and ashamed of herself. She also realized that part of her feeling had been caused by feer and dread of the horrors of war. One night she sat down at her desk and wrote the long-wished for and never-to-be-forgotten letter that Jerry had so long waited for and never expected to receive. The next day she signed up for training as a nurses' aide, hoping thereby to relieve a nurse who some day might save Jerry's life. had her and her been severely life was when To-day Jerry cheered by th happiness and others like them. wounded at Midway.

Brown E. Alley '45 COAL AND PETROLEUM FROM VEGETABLES Coal and oil, which were manufactured by the earth millions of years ago, are now being made by a laboratory process. This process was developed by Dr. Ernst Bcrl, research professor at Carnegie In- stitute of Technology in Pittsburgh. The raw materials for this process are all kinds of vegetable matter such as: potatoes, sugar, molasses, seaweed, and cotton. Out of these come excellent coking coal, asphalt, natural gas and petroleum from which comes gasoline, kerosene, and lubricating oils. The instrument which aids in process is a high pressure nbombn. In this bomb a temperature of 7000 F. and pressure up to 7,000 lbs. per square inch can be produced. Under these conditions the car- bohydrates in vegetable material give up their oxygen and hydrogen and are converted into rich hydrocarbons. This new process shows that there is a very close relation between bituminous coal and oil, since both can be produced from the same base by changing the per- centage of limestone and alkalis mixed with the plant materials. This process has made possible large-scale production of synthetic coal and petroleum. The horizons of these two substances have been expanded tremendously, since carbohydrates are produced more lavishly than any other thing in nature. R.

They got as many cat-in-nine tails as they could reach, and, after rowing about a while, they decided to go home. When they reached the shore they were horror stricken at what they saw. There on their clothes which they had carelessly thrown on the rocks, were four water snakes sunning themselves. What were they to do? ' nWe can't go home without our clothes,' exclaimed Joe. nNo, but we can fish for our clothes with our fishing poles,n Dan answered. They were successful after a tedious half-hour's work. Joe was putting on his last shoe, when a snake's head popped out of it! He hastily dropped the shoe over the side of the boat,. The snake swam toward shore while Joe fished his shoe out of the water. Suddenly Dan shouted, nAl1 of those snakes are swimming for us. Hurry up and help me row out of this place.n They hurried out of that place, and they agreed that they would never go to that frog Pond again. They didn't until the next day, B, Alley '46 EAST OF FAREWELL By Howard Hunt Here is the story of men who ntake them acrossu, the destroyer crews who brave more than the sea and battle and death--who live through the teniness of waiting for that one moment when the enemy sub or plane may strike for one brief final round which means either they or the enemy sink On the destroyers half sleeps.

Write a composition with the subject preferably dealing with some phase of the war. That was the gruesome assignment placed be- fore a group of disgruntled, uninterested students. For who in the world wants to write about the war, when allwm hear and read is-- WAR!!! Strange as it edged its way into school road toward ing over the radio may seem, Hitler was the first idea that slowly my jumbled mind as I plodded slowly down the home. I thought of the reports we had been hear lately as to the actual existence and mental con dition of the great Feuhrer. We all have to admit Hitler is a smart man. He has played his cards well. But now that the Allies have finally caught on to his way of playing bridge, the tide has slowly begun to turn. If the poor man has gone crazy, I think it is a good thing. It will give his little stooges a chance to feel important and maybe help to, boost the morale and courage of the United Nations. For this reason I think Hitler is too smart to go crazy. What would be the object in it? I doubt if, in his carefully written plans for the future, he has included a clause stating what is to be done with his Lord- ship in case of a period of mental disorder. But on the other hand could it not be just one of those incredulous, unforeseen happenings that even Hitler could not avoid? How can we say for sure one way or the other? Our minds diese pityfully small, and we are such credulous, ignorant human beings compared to that one great mind, that we are left completely in the dark to grope around until the light of truth finally shines thrvugh. B. Brown '45 MY DAY OF RECKONING Although it was a distance of 17 miles, it was the shortest ride I believe I had ever taken. I had shivered, trembled, and shuddered, hoping, yet fearing my old car would break down, but at last I reached the city, found the right street and yes, found the right house. I had dreaded this for years, knowing only too well, it was a place everyone must end up at sometime, yet hoping in some way that I might escape. ' I opened the door downstairs. All was quiet. I climbed the stairs slowly, one by one, listening carefully after each step. Did I hear groans and moans from some other poor victim or was it but the wind and snow whirling around the house? Reaching the top of the stairs, I opened the door and stood there with my knees shaking and my heart pounding, while I looked around trying to see just what was going to happen. It was a large room with a studio couch and several large comfortable chairs. Removing my hat and coat, I sat down, knowing full well I would fall down if I didn't. There was a man with a very sinister face sitting across from me. Was he one of them, or merely another victim like myself? I could see in the mirror a small room with the two persons I dreaded so to meet looking very happy as if they were enjoying.the situation. One side of the room was plainly visible to me, and I began to shake again as I saw all the instruments of torture laid out on the table. . A finger appeared at the door and beckoned to my friend with the sinister look. With a desperate expression on his face he walked slowly by me. I then knew he was but a poor victim like myself. Left alone in the room, I began to have wild ideas. Should I hurl myself from the window? No, that would never do. I'd only break a leg and would have this horrible thing to face later on. Could I perhaps make a rush for the stairs? No, what was the use? It was inevitable, I might as well take it now as later. Just then the finger beckoned to me. My face was covered with perspiration as I walked into the room. The two white-clad figures smiled facetiously at me and hurried me to a chair where I was strapped in and rendered helpless. I felt sure these were my last moments on earth, and I'm a- shamed to say my last thoughts were about who would get my share of the beefsteak, butter, and coffee after I was gone. All this time the man and woman were getting their instruments out. Some of the instruments looked as though they had been taken from a torture chamber. Suddenly a whiff of ether reached my nos- trils, and I realized I was gradually losing consciousness. My last thought was that at least I wouldn't have to know the horror I had to go through. The next thing I knew someone said, nSpit, please,n and I came to myself, minus a jaw tooth, but completely at peace. The dentist and nurse seemed the kindest people I had ever met. As I trudged homeward I wondered how I was going to chew the beefsteak we were having for suppah M. Smith '45 GOVERNMENT RUBBER--TYPES Uncle Sam's new synthetic rubber for tires tastes good. Like a strong flavored chewing gum. The flavor is the same whether the rubber comes from petroleum, or from alcohol, from oil refineries or grain fields. The raw materials come from both sources and are absolutely interchangeable. Both are perfect for the rubbermakers' recipe. V Formerly the recipe was called Buna S, but the United States Government has changed it to G. R. S. The new name isn't merely patriotic pride. Like the German Buna S, whose initials stand for butadiene and styrene, the raw materials of the rubber, ours is made of precisely the same substances. But the method is wholly our own. American Chemists started perfecting this method years ago. Recently Good-year and Firestone, pooled their facts. G. R. S. was the result. Today, uniting in war, the companies are proud of their industry, a collective pride, something new in rubber. Let us look at one example. Butadiene becomes a gas at 270 above zero, Styrene at 2950, far hotter than boiling water. Both are delivered as liquids to the rubbermaking plants. With Buta- dlene this is accomplished by keeping the stuff under pressure in a metal container. The pressure prevents the Butadiene from vapor- izing. When the two are mixed, they combine at almost explosive speeds to form synthetic rubber granules. The situation is like baking a cake, which comes from the stove with some liquids needing to be strained off. You can get these liquids only if you let them come off as vapors in drying out. One liquid starts steaming at 270 above zero, the 2950. You can't use both temperatures without spoiling The chemists have solved it. They have the answer a full scale. And, where not so long ago only 75 to 80 other at the cake. working on per cent of the butadiene and styrene were combining into rubber, new the volume of rubber is 95 per cent, truly a great achievement.

Smaller than the human eye is the area vision.

These tiny visual images control more than 90 percent of the judgments and actions of human beings. UNDERGROUND WORKERS It was just striking ten when Hans left his home. The streets were deserted because the order had been given from the supreme command that all persons seen on the streets after nine were to be shot on sight. This was to last until the group that was sending messages across the border to the con- quered countries under Hitler was annihilated. As a result of this order many members of the Gestapo had been shot in- stead of the people. Hans was one of the hundreds of under- ground workers who were getting these messages through and over the borders of Germany. As the village clock struck the last chime, Hans, followed by his faithful collie, slipped from the dark doorway. Stealthily looking around he saw one member of the Gestapo on the opposite side of the darkened street. He stepped quietly his deg with him. Lighting again into the street shouting: back into the house, pulling his lamps he quickly ran out nHerr Shultzburgl Herr Schultzburg! Someone has just passed in back of my house.4 The officer crossed quickly and came up to him. nQuiet, pig. You will have all the people out here. I will look at once. You go back into the house.u 1 As the policeman stalked assuredly around the house Hans and the dog headed for the large culvert in front of the driveway. Hans urged the dog in quickly and then followed through himself. ' It seemed like ages before he crawled out the other end. There was a large row of hedges by which they had to pass. Half way down the line Hans spotted six members of the Gestapo, laughing, and talking boisterously. However, Hans had spotted them at the same moment they noticed something moving in the he UHaltJ who goes there?n ' With a quick shove Hans pushed his dog out into the open. The officers indifferently turned away. Hans kipt on fearing that he might be shot down at any age moment. At ast the tree that marked the border came into view. In front of Hans loomed the fortified anmmnition house and, beyond that, one hundred yards of mined field. This was where the worst risk came. Lying on his stomach Hans commanded the dog to remain still. Creeping close to the blockhouse he listened. Not a sound was heard. He crept back to the dog, patted him, and pointed toward the field. The dog immediately started on a run past the nShepU crossed the field his master'could see between the mines until he reached the tree. the other side slipped the message from under The mission was completed.

MAS him nosing his way LONGFELLOW'S WAYSIDE INN The Wayside Inn in Massachustii got its name from Longfellowfs poem nTales of a Wayside Inn.n This poem is a series of stories ' told by several visitors who were at the Inn one night with Long- fellow. The graceous room which first welcomes the visitor was once the bar room of the Inn. In the center is a hutch table dating from about 1650. The top unlocks and folds back, revealing a hid- ing place for linens and other valuables. Other old muskets and historic articles are in this room around the sides and hanging over the fire-place. The parlor is the room the poet and his friends were accus- tomed to gather in--the poet, the student, the theologian, the Sicilian, the landlord and the Spanish Jew, Their photographs are in one small room, Over the mantel hangs the Howe Coat-of-Arms. Everything in the room is an antique now--the whale-oil lamp, the old photographs, and the rugs which are hand made and well worn. The dining room was formerly the carriage shed under the ball- room. Its conversion into a dining room is comparatively recent. Each table seats four and is decorated by an attractive bowl of flowers. Besides the new dining room there is the old room which isn't used now because of the value of the antiques in it. The floor boards are crude, the roomfis small because in olden days not many passengers stopped at an inn at once. The Washington room is, as you have guessed, named in honor of George Washington. The old bed is covered with a hand-made lace canopy. Besides the beb is a wooden cradle which dates back to 1700. There is a fireplace in this room, as in the others, for ' this was the only method of heating during the eighteenth century. Other bedrooms in which important men slept are: the Laf- ayett, the Edison, which has furniture from the period of Mr. Edison's childhood, and the Parson's room named for Thomas W. Par- sons. The old kitchen with its pewter dishes, its old-fashioned churn, and its old spinning wheel, takes one back into by-gone days. It is from this kitchen that delicious u0ld kitchen dinnersn are served to weary travellers. Behind the Inn is a beautiful gardeng opposite the Inn is an old grist mill with its powerful water wheel that still grings corn into a golden meal. To one side is an old barn where thc stage coaches and horses were kept, There are still a few antique stage coaches to be seen now. On the hillside, is the little red school which Mary and her little lamb attended. Overlooking all, . as if on guard, is a beautiful white chapel. To the visitors at Sudbury, it almost seems as if the spirits of Longfellow and his story-telling companions are still there. Partly of the old world, partly of the new world, the Wayside Inn can offer a day's enjoyment to those who take the time to visit it. Lora Moulton '4 ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL nDay is done, gone the sun from the hills, from the plainsu, Private Benson crawled down between the blankets of the third cot ' down on the right hand side of the barracks. Billy Benson--adored by all the girls and admired by all the boys of Pleasantville High School. Here, he was, away from those who looked up to him, his little yellow roadster, his flashy ties and checked suits, his care- free ways. The delightful eighteen years of Billy's childhood left him scared. He was of course, as most only children, spoiled by his adoring parents. They had showered him with money, cars, horses, and any other thing a boy in his teens might want or dream of. He had grown a bit conceited because he, and only he, could take out the best-looking girls at school. He chose his own crowd to go around with and he chose the fellows who were as well-to-do, as him- self. The last few strains of taps come drifting into the barracks, nSoldier restn. He, Billy Benson, was now Private Benson of the United States Army, no better than Private Patrick Donahue on his right or Private Joseph Bregetti on his left. Private Benson was a veteran now for he had been in the service for two weeks and already he had begun to hate Billy Benson of Pleasantville. He had thought he had had everything a person could ask for, that he had had every privilege that could be offered, but, as he lay there in the darkness, he realized that the greatest priv- ilege in the world was fighting in Uncle Sam's Army for the land and home which, for the first time, meant so much to him, who was fight- ing side by side with Pat, the Irishman, Joe, the Italian, Danny, the Dutchman, and Sam, the colored man. WWo're all for one and we're one for all, hey, Pat?n nSure and be gorry, that's rightu, came a voice from the next cot. Private Benson closed his eyes and drifted away in spirit. NSure and be gorry we are one for all and all for one.n N. Dole '45 HE DIDN'T FORGET Jimmy Kane and his wife were standing on a corner waiting for their bus to take them to work. Suddenly from the bank across the street came the sound of pistol shots. ult is a holdup,n screamed Mrs. Kane. nGet under cover,n cried Jimmy. nI'll get a cop.U At that moment a man rushed from the bank. Seeing the fleeing couple he fired a couple of shots- One of them found its mark. Right then Jimmy Kane swore he would bring the killer to jus- tice. The death of his wife was a great shock to him, for they had been married little more than a year. For eight months the police searched diligently for the killer, gut no clue was discovered that was successful in bringing him to ustice. One day ten years later Jimmy as usual, was on his way to work. In front of him walked a man whom Jimmy felt he had seen before. Try as he would, however, he could not recall him. Just as they were about to turn the corner, however, a vio- lent gust of wind snatched the man's hat and carried it into the street. The man dashed after it. In a flash Jimmy connected him with the assassin of ten years before. Jimmy followed him to his rooming house and reported him to the Police. The man was taken into custody and after tedious gril- ling, confessed his crime. The bringing to justice of the crimi- nal was due to the fact that WLove Never Forgets.u D. Plympton '46 THE LITTLE FAIRIES OF THE WOODS One day last sum er I wandered off into the woods. I got lost and after straying for nearly two hours and a half I saw an opening through a dense grove. Following the ray of light I saw a most amazing sight, for there dancing in the secluded nook was a little band of fairies. Dressed in pastel shades of blue, pink, and yellow, they were not more than five inches high. I would not have noticed them at all, but, as I reached down to pluck a flower, I felt something brush my hand, then flutter to the ground. These little fairies told me not to be afraid, for they would guide me home anytime I wished to go. I had a delightful two hours watching them balance themselves on a swaying blade of grass or the tip of a dainty flower. They told me that they were always floating through the woods. uThe reason men cannot see us,n they said, His because they are looking for larger things.n nlf you were not lost you would not have noticed us at all,N said one little fairy. When I got ready to go home two of them climbed upon my head, one got into each pocket, while one even stood in the palm of my hand. They guided me to the edge of the field from which I could see my home. Then back into the woods they scampered. I have not been fortunate enough to see these little fairies from that day. But as they said, nwhen one is not lost, he over- looks the smaller things of the forest.n L.

KEEP THE GOAL IN MIND Each of us cherish something which we call a ndemocratic way of 11ving.n We Americans are not a war-minded people. We have never had to live in a constant dread of invasion. Like ourselves, our neighbor nations want peace. We desire no greater share than we have now of the world's power. Under our own chosen form of government we want to build Nthe good life.n The highest standard of living has been built up by means of a wealth of resources. Although we have achieved great things, we have wasted valuable natural resources, failed to understand how best to use our vast machinery for production and distribution of goods and ideas. It is no easy matter for a nation of millions of people to make up its mind on any public matter. We believe that the wisdom of all our people lndaciding the nation's course is better than the wisdom of one person. Although we could be the most militaristic power on earth, we have never had to muster our full national strength to win wars: therefore, today we must have confidence for victory. In America the nimpossible must be accomplished to make up for lost time.n There are big and little things to be done and a place for nearly every one to learn to do them--in factories, schools and the armed forces.

Estes '45 This is the Museum of Natural History in New York. I, the fossil of a mammoth, am going to tell you a bit about my life as it was years and years ago. Our homes have been all over the earth especially in Siberia and North America. My home happened to be in Northern Europe during the post-glacial times. The hunters' sledge dogs were very fond of my flesh and the hunters froze it to take on trips. The forest in which I lived was a very dense pine and my favorite food was the 4 leaves and twigs of these trees. Probably you would like to know what I looked like. I wasn't handsome as you may as well know, although I was smaller than the present existing elephant. I was covered with made me seem larger than I really was. thick hair which I had a very nice family--several brothers and sisters and numerous other relatives. After I was able to my life was free lance. We mamoths never went but preferred to live by ourselves. procure my own food, about in groups, One day a hunter with a team of hungry dogs saw me lumbering through the woods and that ended my day as a pine forest bachelor. My bones froze in anicy cliff in Russia. In 1799, a geo- logical expedition found my remains, took me to America and re- constructed my remains. Now 1 am shown to all school children who come into the museum. They marvel at my size and well they may, fer I was considered the greatest prince in Pine Forest in Northern Europe. S. Whalen '45 A TELEPHOYE CONVERSATION nOperator? Hello,--hello, operator? Will you please give me 4-12. Yes, I said 4-12. 'Hello, is that you, Maude? Well, dear, I have been trying to get you for the last five minutes, but you know those operators are never on their job. Well, as I was saying, I couldn't wait until I saw you, so I decided I would phone to tell you what Sarah told me about those people that just moved in next door to her. What's that, Maude? Yes, that's the family. I think their name is Jones. Well, Sarah said when her husband, Herman, came home from work the other night, that Jones's place was lighted from top to bottom. A party must have been in full swing the way Herman described it. Yes, I heard that they both have been divorced before. NWhat's that, Sarah? You say you saw all of this. You were! You say you went over to Martha's and looked across into their house. You really saw all of that. Imagine it, and right in our own town! Really something ought to be done to put a stop to such actions. I don't know what's going to become of this town if people like that are going to be allowed to live here. We good Christians that are always minding our own business have to stand so much now-a-days. If you hear any more about them let me know, won't you, Sarah? nSpeak a little louder, Sarah, I can't hear you,--you don't say. A girl? She weighed lO pounds! Well, she rightfully in- herits her weight--why, look at the size of her mother! NThere, I have got to get supper started. If you hear any more, call me. nGood-by.N I J.

Each student in the school was a mem- ber of either the Army team with Janet Johnson as captain, or the Navy team with Mary Coolbroth as captain. Ethelyn Emery had charge of all Crowell subscriptions and Robert Logan was commander-in-chief of the entire campaign. Miss Madsen and Miss Greenleaf were faculty advisors for the Navy teamg Miss Booth and Miss Smith for the Army. The winning side was to have a large box of candy. The boy or girl who sold the most subscriptions was to get a wrist watch. The Army got the kissesg Richard Richardson won the watch. For students selling over three subscriptions there were dif- ferent premiums to choose from as rewards. If a person sold ten subscriptions they received a certificate of merit besides their premium. Those receiving Certificates of Achievement were: Janet Johnson Richard Richardson, Dorothy Gain, Mabel Thompson, Ethelyn Emery, Hamlin Wescott, Raymond Alley Herbert Woodbrey, Muriel Burdwood, Philip Smith CSr.7, Olive Harrington and 1-'eopold Irish. The money which we gained from the campaign was put into the school fund and is to be used for any emergency which may arise. PARTITION When school began this fall, the days seemed to be a little confused in the Commercial room with two different classes both going on in the same tion was built which period. During Teachers' Convention a parti- added both to the looks of the room and to the success of the students. This partition divides the rear of the room nxm1shorthand and the other commercial subjects. There are large windows in the partition so the Miss Booth, who is teaching one class in the front of the room, can supervise the typing class in the back of the room. The last day of happy day for all of whom we were to give and for a great many read in front of the CHR I STHAS TREE school before our December vacation was a us. We had drawn names for the person to a present. These presents were to be funny, of them there were rhymes attached which were school. We sang Christmas Carols, distributed the gifts, read the rhymes, and had refreshments--which were fur- nished by the teachers--wished each other a Merry Christmas and went home for our vacation. ' .MOVIES Our new moving picture machine which we purchased two years ago has certainly been enjoyed a great deal this year, We have had two or three movies every month. Most of them concerned the war, but some were about nature, science, or America, and all, of course, were educational. This year we have had all our movies in the afternoon at the close of school. In previous years we always have omitted a period and had them the last period before school was dismissed. Having them after school has saved us a period, and we have enjoyed them just as much as before.

The plot was the story of a mother who married a widower, Henry Turner. Unknown to Agnes, Henry had two children, Sammy and Doris, who objected strenuously to the marriage. Agnes, on the other hand, unknown to Henry, had three children, Bob, Gracie and Marilee. Each stepehild objected to his parent's marriage and did everything in his power to prevent it and later to break up the marriage. Bob developed fitsg Marilee, baby talkg and little Gracie became very adept at sticking pins in her step- father's chair or tripping him up. Sammy became a kleptomaniacg Doris, a nervous wreck, talked about her operation continually. The situation wasn't helped any by Aunt Lydia who insisted on calling up ghosts much to the dismay of Nicodemus and Begonia, two well-portrayed colored servants. The part of Frances Blake, who became ill with pneumonia, was taken by Mary Coolbroth. The other members of the class helped with properties, ad- vertising, tickets, and programs. Those taking part in the play were: Robert Logan, Betty Brown, Natalie Dyer, Agnes Harmon, Elmer Alley, Philip Smith, Nancy Dole, Raymond Alley, Dorothy Gain, and Mary Coolbroth. The stage manager was Olive Harrington. PRIZE SPEAKING Prize speaking finals were held December 18, 1942. Many weeks of preparation were necessary, however, before the con- testants were ready fer the final contest. All the Juniors, with the exception of Janet Johnson who won a prize last year, took part in the speaking. Several sophomores also participated. A few students were eliminated by the teachers after they had spoken in Assembly in the morning. The remaining students participated in a preliminary contest in November which was judged by Standish citizens. In the finals first prize went to: Grace Shaw, for the girls and Edward Woodbrey for the boys, while Jeanette Chaplin won second prize. Others competing were: Wallace Gallant, Eugene Irish, Mary Coolbroth, Mildred Blake, Shirley Whalen, Barbara Tompson. f X XXX I :I y6 XA Best looking Most likely t Tallest Shortest Most romantic Best Sport Best athlete Wittiest Most studious Most polite Noisiest Quietest Best natured Most bashful N.

H. S. And now 1t's but a week or so When I'1l have a long recess. I've managed somehow to get by, True, not many A's . But I've learned a lot outside of books I'll tell you in what ways. I learned to sew, and cook, and brew, To housekeep and care for clothes Learned how to dress and use make-up And in business how to pose. I learned that teachers and parents advice, Is well for me to heed, Tho' I sometimes grumble, stew and fret And try to intereede. I've learned that all cannot be winners, A good loser deserves praise That a laugh is better than a frown Laughter always repays. I learned that in giving the best you have, The best will come back to you That the sunshine you send into lives of others Will brighten your life anew. I've learned that 'tis best to count just tau Instead of the angry reply. That patience and silence will be best in the end If you doubt me, give 'em a try. I've tried to tell you in poetry The simple reasons why 'Tis well that I've spent the last four years Studying at Standish High. O.

The boys looked brave and handsome, In their uniforms so neat, The girls looked proud and pretty, Tear stained faces were sweet. He will be gone tommrree, To a land so far away, We do not know when he'll be back, But he will come some day. She's told him that she loves him, And that she always will, ' He's told her he'll be coming back, When victory is won--not untill We know that will be sometime, But not exactly when, It may be won in another year, Then again it may take ten. Again they'll meet at the station, Again tears will be in their eyes, Tears of saying fond hellos' And not of sad goodbyes. K. Coolbroth '45 MY LATIN I'm so discouraged so very blue, My Sophomore Latin just won't seep through, I do it wrong can't get it right, It seems 1t's one continuous fight. I sometimes think it can't be right, For Caesar to stand and fight and fight, He fights the enemy, he battles a friend, I just know it will never end. He may attack, he may retreat, Maybe he'll lose or maybe he'll beat, He loses villages, he gains more ground, Either Caesar or I must be unsound. I get one word, miss one or two, I just don't know what I will do, Caesar may be a Sophomore's friend, But for me, I fear ie is the end. I've fought with Caesar all the year, T11 I don't know if I'm there or here, My teacher explains til she's nearly dumb, But I don't get it, I guess Ilm just numb, But good old Caesar and his numerous affairs, Have got me to the point where I must say 'Who Cares.n - M. Smith '45 OUR SENIORS Next fall when we come back to school, How strange it will seem not to be able to fool. With Johnnie Edgecemb whose smile is so bright, He's been our bell boy, and.he's done all right. And Olin, his pal, we'll miss him toe, If you play ping pong here's a match for you. We also have Betty, Brown is the name, She treats each one of us just the same. There is Olive, too, who is on a diet, If you think it's fun, she wants you to try it. We have Ethelyn Emery who really is sweet, For cuteness she is hard to beat. And there is Natalie who is very shall, But she's thought the world of by one and all. We have Agnes Harmon who can make lots of noise, But when it comes to dates, sho has all the boys There is Elmer and Raymond, they'rc brother's you know, To find smarter fellows, well, Uiey just don't grew We have Hazel Thombs and Helen her twin, Each one always is ready with a grin. We also have Frances, a rod-haired lass, Sho is president of the class. p Next there is Nancy who is a great sport, And David Plympton she loves to court. There also is Shirley who is very quiet, But out side of school she is really a riot. We have Dotty Gain who is lots of fun, She is about the most devilish one. And her sister Betty who is quiet and kind, A better girl it is hard to find. And in this class we, too, have an artist, When tt comes to drawing, Jean is the smartest. There is Barbara Swasey who is also small, But when you need help, for Barbara just call. We did have Bob Logan who was a swell chap, New he's in the Marines to get a whack at a Jap. Now, last but not least, we also have Phil, If asked to do any thing, Phil always will. And new, dear seniors, we say adieu, You know in our hearts we'll be thinking of you. If you're ever alone and in need of a friend, You can call on us, weire your friends 'til the end M. Coelbroth '44 There was a cow named Lily A name like that is silly, But to us she's a peach For she filled in the breach And furnished us steak for our dinner. I try to save money All that I have, But old man inflation Gets it instead. Once a long, long time ago, Just how mapy years, I do not know, A princess fell for a common lad, For a while it made her happy and glad. Then one day the king heard about this, Ah, woe be unto this pretty Miss, He commanded a day of trial, to see, If this young man should have his liberty. In the king's arena was to be this trial, Where people would come from many a mile, To see this young man, both daring and bold, The princess would be there, so it was told. On the day appointed for this trial grand, So many people came, some had to stand, When the arena held all it could hold, The young man came forth, both daring and bold. If the man was guilty, a tiger would roar, Into the arena, from behind a closed door, If the youth were innocent, a maiden fair, Would coyly come forth, to be married right there. But what of the princess who loved this man, 'Twas only she who knew the king's plan, Would it make her sadder to have the lion him devour, Or to be married to the maiden fair within the hour? As he came into the arena and bowed low, He looked at her and asked to know, Through which door the lady would come? In a moment the deed was done. Now, dear reader, I ask you to say, What was the outcome on that memorable day, What did she do in that fatal hour? Did the lady or the tiger come through ABRAHAM LINCOLN Upon his shoulders rested The burden of the world: His courage greatly tested As into battle he was hurled. Upon his face the traces Of the toil and strain of life, And in his eyes the patience That springs from mortal strife. For in his hands he held The fate of a Nation young, Struggling humbly to weld The people into one. the door? G. Shaw '44 E. Irish '44 TARZAN Paul was a husky lad Who lived down by the sea. His eye was bright, his step No braver lad than he. He loved the name of Tarzan, Like him, he longed to be. One day he tied a long, long rope On the branch of a tall pine tree And clinging with both hands was light, He swung to and fro No thought of danger in his mind As he looked way down below. A comrade called his name. Startled, Paul let ge. Down through the tangled wood he fell Some forty feet or so. His head struck upon a rock All limp and still he lay The comrade tried to reuse him But motionless he stayed. The old pine tree still stands With the rope tied to its limb But the Tarzan playmates swing no more In memory of him. O.

'Tis just the other way around in this l945 is for is for is for is for is for The And For For T'aint such a Wicked thing at all a girl to flirt with mo.

Dorothy Parker '45 JUST CAN'T Dear-------: Can't write a thing, the censor to blame, Just say I'm well and sign my name. Can't tell where we sailed for, Can't mention the date, Can't even number the meals E ate. Can't say where we're going, . . Don't know where we'll land, Cou1dn't inform you if we're met by a band. Can't mention the weather, Can't say if there's rain, All Military Secrets, must secret remain. Can't have a flashlight, to guide me at night, Can't smoke cigaretteseexcept out of sight. Can't keep a diary, for such is a sin, Cau't keep the envelopes, your letters come in. Can't say for sure, darling Just what I can write So I'l1 call this a letter And close with Good 1-Eight. Edwin Brazier THE PARTY LINEh It plays a most important part in rural country life, By adding cheer to lonely hours for the local farmer's wife. It spreads the gossip of the town, sits idle tongues awagging, Gives hen-peeked husbands' wives new dope to aid them in their nagging. It furnishes entertainment even though one makes no call, For there's always someone talking--winter, summer, spring or fall. It summons aid of any sort that you may wish to ring, The fire force, the local Doc, in fact, most anything. 'Tis not a place where one discusses matters confidential, Like politics, your salary, with friends most influential. A boy friend does not call his belle about matters strictly . personal, For both ends and the middle of the thing are very versatile. In short if you don't want to keep a secret, something that's just yours and mine, Or you want to advertise a bit but can't afford a sign. Or you want to buy a cord of wood, a thousand feet of pine, Don't ever leave your dooryard, simply use the party line. N.

They planned a surprise attack on us, Those nyellow-belliedn men from Japan, They blow up some of our largest ships, And planted bombs on a once peaceful land. They blew up a U, S. Army barraek, And killed many of our soldier boys, Who were doing their duty that afternoon, But didn't hear the enemy noise. We'll give them what they asked for, And send them home on the run, Our Army and Navy is one of the best, So We'll fight 'till we have won.

But now I'm old and have no dreams, I have a pot of gold, But I would trade it all for youth, New that I've grown old. For gold is meant for saving, And youth is meant to spend, And wisdom is the gold you find, At the rainbow's end.

Rupert Johns n Captain: John Lane Manager: 0lh1Thomas This year the Triple C League was disbanded leaving the schools to schedule games for themselves. Standish competed in an unusually small number of games this year as compared to the nineteen and twenty game slate of other years. Nothing bad can be said of our record, however, as we won every game we played. There is not much doubt in the minds of the players as to which was the closest or most exciting game. This was our last game with our perennial rivals, Porter. The score was 5-5 in favor of Standish Players lost by graduation last June were John Lane, Everett Day, and Larry Hoyt. Robert Logan joined the Marines and Armand Powers has moved to Canada. Pos A.B. H.

Edward was the pitcher, He struck them high and wide, Clayton was the catcher, -He took them in his stride. Neil was the first baseman, And Jackie played second, Paul Estes was the short stop, I wonder how he reckoned. Art was third baseman, He caught a very nice foul, Cliff in right field, Almost made us howl. Herbert in centerfield, Caught the last fly, Dick Crowley in left field, Caught them wide and high.
