'Sp' H 14 f reached out and took it,, so today we are sacrificing thh lives . VICTORY Today, when wo think of victory, most of us think in terms of war. ,At the present time victory is what we are all hoping for working fer, but there are victories that will not be wen in Africa, in Sicily, or in the Pacific,5 These victories are victories that must be won before a lasting peace can ever be won, and we must win those ourselves. Let me further explain. Each and every one of us have our own personal victories to win before a national victory can be fully assured. We are very apt to complain about rationing. We are always trying to get a little more than we already have. Our neighbor buys a new car and immediately we want a new one. His wife gets A new fur coat, and our family has to get a fur coat. Envy and the desire to keep up with the Jons.s' cans S much of our discon- tent 'and unhappiness. Hitler wanted a little territoryg he of millio ns for the greed of a few. Another personal victory that each of us has to win daily is the ab ility to refrain from malicious gossip. nIt's better sometimes to be blind To the faults of some poor fellow being, Than to View them with,visions unkind, When therc's good we ought to be secing.n V., We, as individuals, have get to learn also to be more tol- erant, more understanding of the other person's view-point if we wish to have a nation that can be tolerant of other nations and other races. The only way we can possibly hope to win a real victory and a lasting peace is by developing a real atti- tude of understanding, free from social and racial prejudice. The life and strength of a mation depends on the lives and strength of its people. Each one of us should resolve to move up a bit each year.' UNO man has the right to be as ignorant, as sinful, as lazy as h of growth ward is u finer the th e ti ny hearts t search th e was the year before..... The law of life isthe-law .

Vanota Furman '45 ' MUSIC AID WAR Music is an art that everybody likes. It is said to rest people, to stimulate them, to encourage and comfort them, to teach them-efor music has much to teach. The classicals are stories in themselves. A lover of music learns much of the countries, thelr peoples, their custons, their manners, their attitudes, their teuperaments. The folk song? of the Barth are good examples of this, for they tell the stories of the darkies ln slavery as well as the life on the plantatqons. Stephen Foster, one of our foremost composers, has left Amor- ica such old favorites as thy Old Kentuckj Kegel, and N ixien. The music of the West is interesting, for it depicts the romantic and exclting life of oowbors on the range. nlfm Heading For The Last Boundupu, 'Boots And Seillesu, VBury me Hot Cn The Lone Frairieh are just a few well-known Eastern sorgs.

Recording the adventures of Ulysses in the Trojan Wars, Homer, the great Greek poet, wrote his two greatest works. Perhaps the most familiar work of the Rmmans is Caesar's ac- count of his many battles on the continent of Europe. Many a chapter in the Bible is the story of warfare between two tribes. There is not eneurh space to list the names of au- thors and poets of every language who have used incidents or whole battles as material for their fiction. ' From this present war have cone already many books--among them: HBerl1n Diaryu by a war correspondent, William Shirerg HParis Undorgroundn by Ltta Shiber, a woman caught in Paris when the Germans cameg Hlhirty Seconds Over Tokyon writtenky a.noted flier, Ted Lawson, HThese Hen Shall Never Dieu by Lowell Thomas, a well-known comuentatorg Hiar Tiden by a young Chinese girl, Lin Taijig dRoad To Tunisu by a splendid Amer- ican author, David Rameg Nhy Native Banda a report on the Par- tisan-Chctnik conflict in yuyoslavia by Louis Adamif and countless others. It is too soon as yet to determine whether anyone of these will halo a place for itself as permanent lit- erature. But there is no doubt of their future value as first hand accounts and, therefore, they will be referred to con- stantly, as time goes on, as sources of local color and cor- rect details. Jhatever their future may bc, now almost all of these are the utmost ingortance to us as individuals ,and as a nation. Diese books, accounts by corresgcndents on the battle fronts, narratives of the war's victims, and personal accounts of sol- diers, give us a better conception of thc causes and possible results of this gigantic battle. In the book Nlhe Serbs Choos, Warn by Ruth litchell, the author tells us of the struggle within Yugoslavia itself and of the horrors being suffered there by her oeoplc. Above and beyond this sho tries to make us realize what nay be oxgected from these discouraged homeless warsick people. Hiis story is only one of the many fine books of this type. me of America who have no idea of Wh3tffiS really like cannot hope to understand our allies' attitude without clearer understanding, and we can hope to attain that clearer under- standing only by clearer thinking which is to be obtained only through extensive and thcuyhtful readiny.

Maine's coastline measures some 2500 miles, and there are more than 400 offshore islands, ranging in area from ll00 to 16,000 acres, with a host of lesser ones. The name Maine was in use way back in the l622's. Under the jurisdiction of Massachusetts, the region was known as nThe Province of Maine,n and when it was admitted to the Union in 1820, nThc State of Maineu became its official title. Maine, the extreme northeastern state in the Union, is the only one adjoined by but a-single sister state. The south- ern beundary of the state is the Atlantic Oceang the eastern boundary follows the St. Croix River to its source, thence due north to the St. John Riverg the northern boundary extends roughly from the St. John Grand Falls along the river to Crown Monument, the western boundary extends from Crown Monumcntto the sea at the mouth of the Piscataqua River near Kittery Point. The state is thus bordered only by the ocean, by Canada, and by New Hampshire. Maine is the largest of the New England States. Its total acreage greatly exceeds that of New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, and Connecticut combined. Approximately one-tenth of its area of 55,040 square miles consists of water. Maine's climate is invigorating and healthful. The mean annual temperature is 440 or 450 F in the southern part and 590 in the extreme northern part of the state. Freezing tem- peratures at night are common throughout the state in October and November, continuing to mid-April or early May. The aver- age temperature from June to October is 800 or higher in nest parts of the state. There are commonly from six to twelve heavy rainfalls each year, usually accompanied by northeast winds. The state is relatively free from serious floods and droughtsg the 1956 flood was exceptionally serious. In Maine are found ores of most metals, as well as useful non-metallic minerals such as quartz, feldspar, mica, and graphite. At least one mineral, beryllonite, has been found nowhere outside Maine, and this state has yielded the finest emerald beryl ever found in the United States. , Feldspar is mined in oxford, Androscoggin, Cumberland, Saga- dnhoc, and Lincoln Counties, The raw spar is ground in Mills at Topsham and West Paris. Maine's nickname is Vacs.tionlund of America . All the factors oreviously mentioned hold true to this name, as Maine is the ideal spot for a vacation, either summer or winter. Some of America's best known hunting grounds are found in Maine, around Moose Head and Rangelcylmkes. D Many boys'and gir1s'camps are located on Sebago Lake, and tourists seem to flock around this territory both summer and winter. Putting all the factors mentioned together, Maine is one grand state.

To protect these f rms a commissioner has been ap- pointee, under him are the five branches which he has charge ofg plant and animal husbandryg mnrketingg inspectiong and admin- istration. The top ranking industry of Maine is the cotton-cloth inf dustry. Over one third of cotton cloth used, in the United States is manufactured here. Cne of the pioneer mills was es- tablished in Brunswick in 1809, another in Wilton in 1810, and a third in Gardiner in 1811. There are new sixteen cotton mills operating here., They are located on the large rivers all over the state. , i The many woolen mills from which they get their only six woolen factoriesg in the state. In the thir dred eighty-seven C4877 se ti ts 1 n Maine are located by swift streams power. In the beginning Maine had now there are well over seventy-two es, these mills contained four hun- , one hundred sixty-seven thousand nine hundred fifty-two Ql67, 9525 spindles, and four thousand four hundred sixty-three f4,46ED looms. The newer factories, which are operated on'the same principle, are much larger than the early ones, receive their power from electricity, steam and water, One of the most attractive and oldest industries of Maine is the fishing industry. Many tons of herring, mackerel, lobs- ters, clams, smelts, all of which are of salt water fishg are caught each year. Along the many streams are found fish hatch- eries which collect the spawn of the fish and separate then into the different species. Here the spawns hatch and are out'out in outdoor pools until large enough to stock the lakes and streans.

'W9Another industry of Maine is the leather and shoe industry. Auburn has been the leading town in the manufacturing of boots and shoes since l856. 'The first factory was started in New G1Oueester in l844wby A. P. White. It employed seventeen people There are over forty establishments now in the state of Maine, Maine is also noted for her minerals. Many of the public buildings in the Capital and other big cities are made from the famous Maine Granite. Some of the many minerals found in Maine are feldspar, used in making dishes, mica, used in making fire- proof paintsg the Pourmaline, rare and precious, prized all over the world, lime and molybdenum which is a valuable alloy used in hardening steel. And finally, Maine has the oldest industry of the American continent, shipbuilding. The first ship built by European hands on American soil was nThe Virginia of Sagadahoc launched near the banks of the Sagadahoc, now the Kennebec River, by the Pop- ham colonists. The rugged coast line of Maine is dotted with many shipyards, the oldest ones being those at Richmond Inland near Cape Elizabeth, Kittery, and Callais. Many of the great battles of the early colonial days took place in the harbor of Portland. Today, Maine as before, is building ships. Bfforc, they were used for trading purposesg today Maine is helping to build the ships that will soon bring Victory and peace to all the world. N A- -.

This ship was commended by a gentleman from-France, so noble and courageous that his king'honored and 'trusted him and gave'him, a grant of' land extending from Cape Breton to Pennsylvania. .He was Pierre de Gast, .Sieur de Monteln ln this small boat was still another, greater, Frendixan who, as a great explorer, became known as the father and founder of New France. It was fitting that .one of our large ltxes should be named for this explorer, 'Samuel de Champlain. Champlain and Les Carbot were two well-known, brave' Frenchmen who solved-their problem of safety from Indians' and beasts of prey by building twelve houses around a central area which becamefa'strong fort.4 This.fort proved to be the first European settlement' in New England. .From the time of'this settlement many interesting' incidents and facts can ,oe learned about the history of Maine.. Each town has its own su?P1Y Of such facts. ' Q- , , yj, J ig . The exact date of the first-settlement of Brunswick is unknown, but it was probably a little before 1628. ' It was named in honor of the House of Brunswick, the family to which the kings of England at that time belonged. Brunswick is much better known because of Bowdin College, rather than because of its industries. These in- dustries are a natural result of the water power furnished by the Androscoggin River. Here the first cotton mill in the state was built in 1809. Kennebunk, in York County, is bounded on the north by Alewive, on the northeast by North Kennebunkport and Biddeford, on the east by Kennebunkport, on the south by Wells, on the southeast by San- ford, and on the west by the shire town, Alfred. In 1629 the first permanent settlement, Arundel, was made in Kennebunkport by Richard Vines. Although Kennebunkport, a neighbor to Kennebunk, has two ship- building yards and a fair number of fishing vessels, the town is primarily known as a summer resort. Especially noteworthy is the summer home of Booth Tarkington. When the visitor of Kennebunkport first arrives he .senses a feeling of rest and quiet which increases day by day. ' g,f q i I Portland, the largest city in Maine, isssituated at the head of beautiful Casco Bay. It was first settled by two Englishmen, George Cleeves and Richard Tucker, in l652., The settlement was three times destroyed in war,--twice burned by the Indians, and in 1775 bombarded by the British fleet. On the admission of Maine into the Union, in 1820, Portland became the seat of government and con- tinued as such until the removal of the state offices to Augusta .in 1851, The largest pipe organ in the United States is the Portland municipal organ. . e Westbrook lies six miles northwest of Portland, in Cumberland A-H-+0 T+ A..nn4ss hath aides of the Presumbscot River, .the beautiful outlet of 5ebago.Lake, which runs twenty-two miles to tidewater and drains about six hundred twenty-five miles. The earliest permanent settler of Westbrook was Joseph Conant, who brought his family and all his possessions in a canoe from Mass- achusetts up the Presumpscot River. Industries of Westbrook vary. There are .two wellsknown mills here,' the Dana Warp Mills, the largest of, their kind in New England and the S. D. Company at Cumberland Mills which covers more than and employs about 2,000 people. Warren Paper twenty acres . Gorham is situated in the Southwest corner County, ten miles from Portland. It is bounded on by Westbrook and Scarboro, on the west by Buxton and west by Standish. The highest point in Gorham is Fort Hill, just a mile north oi the village square. This town was incorporated as Gorham in honor of Captain John Gorham. Today Gorham has ex- ceptionally fine educational and cultural advantages. The Gorham Normal School has more than 400 students. of Cumberland the southeast on the north- Buxton lies on the Saco River with only the city of Saco be- tween it and the sea. It is 12 miles long and contains four vil- lages-- -West Buxton, Buxton Center, Groveville, and Bar Mills. The industries of Buxton are the Roger's Fiber Co., and The Carll Canning Co. at Duck. A A Our own home town, Standish, is known to have had many found- ers. Some of them are: Capt. Isarc Illsley, Moses'Pearsons, Benjamin Mussey, Theodore Mussey Esq., Joseph Thorn, Arthur McGill William McGill, and John Pierce. May 28, 1754 Moses Pearsons, Joshua Freeman and James Lunt proceeded to build a fort at Standish. It was completed the fol- lowing year and stood on high ground where Standish Corner now is, a short distance southwest from the site of the old church, which was in the middle of the square where the town pump now stands. The earliest sawmill built in the town was built by Ebenezer bhaw on the site where the present Shawfs mill stands. The 'Mill and two-hundred acres of land were given him as encouragement to build thereon. The history of Maine itself can be reconstructed from the history of individual towns. Fascinating facts are there for those who wish to search. Viola Whitney '45 AN Iclcts Slim and straight and gleaming, You were hanging there. Today the sun is shining, You're gone--I wonder where. Maine, though usually thought of as the vacation state, is also noted for its many famous men and women in all fields of culture, art, music and service to their country. Although these men and women are not as well known as many of other states they should be given credit for their fire work in their separate fields. One of these men was Ecnjamin Burton, who was, as far as we know, the only Maine representative at the Boston Tea Party. Burton was born at Thomastcn, Dec. 9, 1749, but at the age of two he moved on the plantation called NCushingV on the St. Georges River. Young Burton was reared amid dangerous surround- ings, because of the Indians who constantly attacked the white settlers. One day in 1775, he happened to be in Boston, so he went to the Old South Church. There he hearc an inspiring address about the taxes which the English had levied upon the colonists. He became so much imbued with patriotic fervor that he accepted an invitation to attend the NBoston Tea Partyn. During the war, he became a major iq the Continental Army and fought many victorious battles. After the war, he went back to farming in Cushing. In 1785 ho was appointed Lieutenant Colo- nel in the militia and retained the office until he resigned e- leven years later. The Colonel died May 24, 1835. He had pos- sessed a discerning mind and manifested a strong taste for mathe- matics and military tactics but expressed a preference for history and the sculptures. From the field of music, we have two outstanding women, Annie Louise Cary and Lillian Norton. Annie Louise was born October 22, 1841 in Wayne but later moved to Yarmouth. After three years' at- tendance at a women's seminary in Gorham, the young contralto visited Boston, there she sang in the churches. For quite some time she gave study under Viado Garcia, who was then considered the best authority on the subject of vocal technique. At the end of three years she was in Milan, studying under the tutelage of Garcia. During her operatic career she had travelled to Russia and all through Europe. The distinguished singer died at Norwalk April 5, 1921. She was laid to rest at Scarboro with the folds of the state flag about her. Lillian Norton was born in Farmington, December 12, 1857 but moved to Boston with her parents in 1864. At the age of 15 she entered the New England Conservatory of Music, where she devoted three years to the study of tone development. Patrick Gilmour, world famous band master, heard her sing and engaged her services for his European circuit. After studying at Milan for several months she played in many operas. Following the advice of her in- structor, she changed her last name to the Italian equivalent, Nordica.

' Among Maine's most noted humorists was Charles Farrar Browne or NArtemus Wardn as he was generally known to the public. Browne was born in Waterford, of Oxford County, April 28, 1854. He first became a printer and at the age of 20, he was a general compositor in Boston and had been successful in securing public- ation of humorous and historical articles in Shillaber's 'Carpet Bagn on whose staff he was then employed. At that time he was described as tall, awkward and loose-jointed in gait, with sandy hair, thin features, a long nose and pale complexion. But des- tiny did not propose for the humorist to continue his journal- istic career. At his first appearance on the stage at New London, Connecticut November 26, l86l, he was a success, he kept the audience in a continual uproar. As nArtemus Wardn, a mythi- cal entity, heebecame amazingly popular. Browne has been dwell described not only as a man of humor, but as a man of good humon Above all else he was credited with fine intellect, fertile ima- gination and unimpeachable motive and character. It has been rightly said that he taught the world to laugh in the face of adversity, physical suffering and mental anguish, and that in itself is distinction enough for one man.

The young Quaker, at one time a schoolmate of Longfellow, was educated at Portland and New Bedford Academies. At first a Whig, Hyoung Dow, became a temperance advocate in Falmouth town meetings as early as l857. He was then fully con- vinced that intoxicants were fatal to the highest progress, prosperity and happiness of mankind. He was known as the able champion of thos who were placed at a disadvantage by reason of the liquor habit Dow had become a world figure in the cause of prohibition and gratifying.

Hamlin was born upon Paris Hill, near Oxford County, August 27, l809. As a boy he was a leader and general favorite of his comrades. At the age of seventeen he was sent to Hebron Academy, where he thought he would be able to prepare himself for college, Because of his father's premature death he was unable to secure funds for his education, so he entered the law office of the leading attorney in Portland and after a year, was admitted to the Oxford Bar. In l854, he was elected as a Democrat to the Maine House of Rep- resentatives. ,During the years spent in the house, he became a great lawyer and in 1854 was elected as representative to Con- gress from the Eastern District. In Congress, Hamlin became closely affiliated with the antislavery wing of the Democratic Party.

During the next fifteen years, Preble entered the Mercnant Marines and navigated all kinds of vessels, including sckconers, brigs, and ships. In 1799 he became a First Lieutenant in the American Navy and was immediately advanced to the rank of Captain.

Both Longfellow's HEvan3elinen and HHiawathaN were considered matchless masterpieces. His Verses had become household favorites and were translated into fifteen foreign languages. Longfellow died March 24, l882. A bust of the poet is in the now world-famous Poet's Corner at Westminster Abbey. These men and women are but a few of those who could be mentioned as bringing fame to Maine. Maine may be a small state,, but it has had its share of famous personages. Those of the past should serve as guides for those of the future. Mary smith '45 MY STATE MAINE I try to be good natured Treat one and all the same, But my temper always rises, ' When one slanders my state--Maine.

Some people crave warm climate, Some people like fog and rain, Some people want wind and snowstorms You'll find them all in Maine. Philip Smith '45 MAINE HOMES AID CHURCHES V nNot only for their frame of stately trees, Their gracious lines, their hospitable space Planned for the shelter of a fruitful race, Are those old homes so precious.H 'Many an old house, if it could speax, might tell a story quite worth hearing. .Maine has itg share of these famous old houses and churches, the history of which tells many interesting facts about the history of Maine itself. The Elaine mansion is one of these. This famous home is splendidly situated where it catches the eyes of all tourists viewing our capital. lt was first occupied by James Gilhmpie Blaine, Secretary of State undcr'Xar4icon, The'set of buildings at that time was composed of house, ell, and stable, and was painted dull brown with red roofs. The 79th Lefislature authorized the purchase of other lots which resulted in thebeauti- fully planted and well kept grounds which now surround the resi- dence, Mrs. Beale and other members of the Elaine family later fixed house, ell, and stable over into the modern home of today. Parts of the inside, however, have been left as they were in olden days. The hall, the winding stair way, and the statue which:m'nds in a niche half way up the stairs still remain as of old. A visit to Maine would not be complete without halting at this mansion, whose gates are open to signify the true spirit of Maine hospita- lity, Another famous homo is the Judge Longfellow Homestead, three miles east from Gorham village. The picture presented by this rambling home, surronded by beautiful elms is well worth seeing. Henry's great grandfather decided to move there when his home in Falmouth burned. Stephen Jr., the oldest of the Longfellow off- spring, grew to be a noted min in Gorham, and it was said that it was hc who offered his men extra pay for each tree planted after working hours, That was the starting of the Longfellow Elms. -fhj house inside is much as it was years ago, from the kitchen right up to the attic. Xlthough a lot come to see the vacation home of Longfellow it is the original house itself which holds them breath- less. I A story of greet interest is that of Paul Revere's last bell, The Congresational Church which holds this bell is situated at J Benton Falls. The church was built by the old settlers and the wide floorboards, which worshippers have trod for lO8 years, are still in use but the church was mordernized 55 years ago. Dr. Nichols of Eoston,' going through his records, found out that the last bell Paul hevere made was sold to this church and he and an assistant, climbinr into the bclfry. found the word Revere marked on it. The bell is in excellent condition and weighs 708 pounds. Anyone may visit this cherished spot, for the church still stands today, its friendly doors open to all, its Revere bell ringing a welcome to young and old. , Maine's oldest brick home is located on Fort Hill just out- side Gorham. 'The McLellan House has 15 rooms and the outside walls of the first floor ale i8 inches thick. Some of the original win- dows remain with wavy, vericolorod glass, no two panes the same size. Beneath a window in the oli dining room is a print of the rnnndQw's hands. olacod there with plaster. Many of the settlers and sturdy leg cabin have been gone for some time, but the old brick house stands in its dignity, defying the ages. wa, The parish has always played a great part in community life one reason why I am mentioning the First Parish of Portland. 'In 1734, fifty parishioners built a garrison around the home of their pastor. This was their first parish. The second building of the First Parish was built in 1740. It was furnished with a bell, and in 1760 a tower was finished, but again in 1825 the steeple was pulled down and moved to the rear while the granite church was being built. This church, a beautiful example of co- lonial archit-cture is something to be proud of, and, best of all, it still remains with worshippers filling its pews every Sunday of the year.

And he steered for the open sea.H The United States lighthouse service is nearly as old as the government itself, having been established under the first president of the United States, George Washington. The Bureau of Lighthouses was established in 1910 in Washington where the executive offices are. K All lighted aids to navigation such as--lighthouses, lightships, and buoys, serve as day marks for guiding the mariner, as well as guiding lights by night. They are given distinctive shapes and colors in order that wayfarers may determine with certainty what they mean. The first ships assigned to lighthouse service were built in the days of sailing craft. Tdday, they are designed to meet every demand and are a combination of sturdy efficiency and spread of sail, to the nHibiscus,H and nIlex,U which now operate in Maine waters, the light- house tonders have played an important part in the maintenance of nav- igation aids in the Gulf ofjhaine. The Portland Lighthofge was established on the seventh day of March l905. It was first called HCape Elizabethng this name remained for several yearsg then it was changed to UPortlandn. Some of the seacoast Lights of Paine are Blue Hill, Vonhegan, Moose Peak, Nt. Desert, Rockland, Seguin, St. Croix, West Quoddy, Whitehead, Ram Island Ledge, Cape Elizabeth, and Portland. In the early part of the- nineteenth century the lights at Cape Elizabeth were established. They served their purpose well, and were models for other lights because they were so clear that the navigator going east or west picking up these beacons .could tell their exact location. When the marincr first caught sight of these lights he knew he was approaching the coastline of Cape Elizabeth with the lights bearing right and into Portland Harbor. The government deeikd that one light with a distinctive characteristic was sufficient andsn did away with the western light. Since the lighthouse has been done away with, many people have visited there. The people who live on the Cape Shore have been in fear that the tower, which has stood as a land mark for nearly three quarters of a century, would be taken down. - x Portland Head, built by the order of George Washington, is the most visited light tower on the Atlantic, because of its masonry work done by Maine men in the eighteenth century, for its beautiful pano- rama of the three hundred and sixty-five islands in Casco Bay, a view that is unexcelled by any promontory on the Atlantic Sea Board. Over twelve lighted beacons that guard our'coast can be seen from Portland Head on a.clear night. Its tower was built of rubblcstomcg today it stands steadfast and serene as it did the day when first established. The construction of the lighthouse was started during the year 1787 and was under the charge of Jonathan Bryand and John Nichols of Portland. It was finished during the year 1790 and first lighted January IO, 1791. Whenever you travel along the Maine seacoast you will . find these sentinels suggestive of power and security, stan! ing stalwart and strong against the sky. The stories they could narrate, the thrilling struggles of man against the sea of hope they have sent out has well been the topic of many an epic. - Jean Cousins '45 Maine I've traveled all over this country, By train, by bus, and plane, But never have I found a State That can compare with Maine.

A pilgrim agent had warned him about this, but Hocking was determined to do as he pleased. In defiance of warnings, he sailed up further on the Kenn- ebec and anchored along the shore at Cushnoc. Some men in a canoe were sent out to cut Hocking's anchor chain and lat him drift with the stream. ' . Just as the cable was cut, Hocking shot from the deck and killed one man in the canoe. The friend of the unfortunate person shot back and killed Hocking. John Alden, who could have been only a witness at best to the act, was imprisoned for the crime. ,Great was the indignation aroused in the Pilgrims, scores of letters were sent demanding the freedom of Alden. The court finally placed the blame for the murder of the dead Hocking.

He kidnapped 3 Indians to take back to England with him, but Sir Ferdinando Gorges seized upon the ship while Captain Waymouth was en route to Hngland. Sir Gorges taught the Indians the Dnglish language and customs. His friendliness aided him in expanding his settlements in Maine. A kidnapping that, under Waymouth might have proved disastrous, under Gorges proved beneficial. xWalter Bagnall, known as nGreat Waltu, lived on Richmond Is- land. His reputation was none too good, for he had much wronged the Indians. Chief Squidraset and several other Indians settled scores by killing nGreat Waltn on the night of October 5, 1651. Ten months later a squad of soldiers was sent to investigate the murder. Black Will, an' innocent Indian, was hanged for the murder.

I have traveled many miles, always accompanied by my present owners. With them I have had chances to see many different houses at Sebago Lake, for they are a family that seens to move a lot. One night sixteen years ago I recall being tucked under a nice soft pillow. My alarm was wound up tight. I wondered why all this special attention, and thought perhaps it was because of the good work I had done for two years. At a specified time I sang out my loudest tones and ticked away as loudly as usual, but no one paid any attention to me, until, all of a sudden, I was snatched from my resting place. I hoard a babble of voices and the crying of a baby.

Janet Johnson '44 CONTEN TMENT The night was dark and stormyw outside, but everything was warm and comfortable in that particular room.

That is Tuesday was exam day un- less a fellow happened to be sick. Well, the toughest thing happened. Frankie Jones, the tough- est kid in the freshman class and incidentally the kid who had done the least studying, happened to be sick Tuesday morning. As his mother stepped into the room to call him, she found him twist- ing and turning in agony as he folded his arms across his.stomach. After smoothing the pillows on his bed, she went downstairs to tell his father who only smiled, for he had heard Frankie 'nd Johnny talking about exams. Father whispered something in mother's ear. At first she looked stunned, but she turned almost immediately to the medicine cabinet and took down a large bottle of castor oil. Taking a tea- spoon from the table she hurried upstairs. Frankie took his medicine reluctantly. Just as he was lying back on the pillows the no school signal rang. CThey learned later the pipes had frozenl. Frankie was really sick then, for he knew there would be skating on the duck pond, and he would not be there. Kathleen Coolbroth '45 MY REPORT CARD The fateful day had arrived -- the day rank cards were to be handed out. As I walked up the school drive, for some unknown reason my feet just did not seem to go as fast as usual. I no- ticed also tnat the other students were in no hurry. Going to and from classes just did not seem the same either. Then it came -- the dreaded moment when the last bell had rung and school was at an end. It was at this minute that a few of my past misdeeds came to my mind. Brief scenes came to me rs if'in a dream.

Doy, will I have some explaining to do.W da Gama '46 THE LIOLE IN THE ICE Why I ever ventured out doors that crisp, cold January day, I could never understand. I am a normal, common every day sort of fellow who always had the idea I should remain young with my children. I an not exactly old just thirty-nine years young Cas I always jokingly called ith. I nearly always felt well, excepting of course those times I had a touch of indigestion and the touch of lumbago every spring. So when my twelve year old sen, Jim, rushed in one afternoon with the announcement that the lake was frozen over just like glass and asked if he could go skating I replied, ulndeed you may, my son, and your good old .dad will go with youln ndh, Dad, not youlu wailed Jim. nAnd why not?u I asked. HWell, dad,u said Jim, uyou tOldlme yourself you had not skated for twenty years, and, --and---N uOh -- ho! You think your old dad can not skate! HWe1l, I will show you that I can do a figure eight along with the best of them,n said I and, fool that I was, believed it. Of course mother raised the usual objections. The ice was too thin, we would both drown or at least get pneumonia, for someone had told her there was a big hole in the ice where some men had been ice fishing. 'But I donned my mackinaw, a cap which Jim referred to as Daniel Boone's, my muffler, and overshoes and we were off. It was cold, or so cold. As I walked along I thought of the book and warm easy chair by the fireplace that I had left to go skating, and a sneaking suspicion crept into my mind 'that I was a complete idiot. Just then we reached the lake where the boys had a big bonfire going and I was happy again. None of the other boys' fathers were there, and, I must admit, I felt a bit foolish, but here I was and I must make good or be the laughing stock of the younger generation. So, donning my skates fwhibh, by the way, were very dull, I started timidly onto the ice. To my surprise I immediately sat down. LOf 'courso eycryone :veg laughing and jarring, which did not improve my disposition.With the help of Jim and his pals, I finally ,gets going again, but found I was not as limber as I used to be. Everyone was watching me closely. Ah! hal I thought. Now is the time for e bit of fancy stuff. But I could not jump over barrels--there were'none. So I told them I would jump the hole in the ice. Jim coaxed me not to, but I, feeling very clever, merely laughed and took off gracefully, I hoped. I got up quite a speed, lifted my feet in the air and then something happened. My feet betrayed me or were tqnheavy, for I came down too soon, right into the hole. The boys managed to haul me out and 'walk me home, wet, shivering, and shaking. Mother met me at the door with that HI told you son look in her eyes.X She had everything ready. The mustard footbath, nose drops, mustard plasters, and hot water bottles. I always said mother was psychic. ' Mary Smith '45 What Tommy Did With The Scissors It was a sunny afternoon. Tommy was alone in the house be- cause the family had gone away for the afternoon. He sat alone trying to think of something to do. After awhile an idea popp- ed into his head. He would like to surprise his mother with a bouquet from the garden. He went out to the garden and started to pick his mother'g choice--zinnias, but soon found that he could not break the stems. He ran into the house to get the scissors to cut the stems. The flower stems were tough and flexible, but he hacked through them. Proudly carrying the flowers into the house, he hunted for a vase. f Upon finding the vase he discovered the stems of the flow- ers were too long, so he found the scissors, which had been ly? ing in the garden dirt, and cut the stems. Regardless of his .careful cutting, he found three stems hanging below the others and two shorter than the rest. He'went through his cutting process again and again, then finally he discovered, much to his dismay, that he had every stem much too short--that beauti- ful bouquet was gone to waste. - But Tommy was not' disappointed. He was still going to have a bouquet. He skipped out again and cut twice as many flowers of different varieties. Again he ruined those. Poor Tommy! 'He did not know what to do. What would his mother say? He had cut almost all her beautiful flowers. HQ had to think of something nice to do to make up for his es- capade. ln most persons' minds what Tommy did with the scissors would not have caused much anxiety, but poor Tommy was about frantic! t The minutes flew by and Tommy still was sitting and think- ing. Pretty soon the door opened and in came his mother. The first thing sho saw lying on the floor was all the stems which had been cut. She asked Tommy what had happened and, of course Tommy had to tell her. Tommy got a good spanking for what he did and learned a lesson. He is still trying to think of something nice to do to cover up the next bad thing he does, but he will learn he will not be able to bluff his parents. h Lora Noulton '46 THE ACCIDENTT Perhaps you read in last Tuesday's nEvening Gabn of the death of Jerry Spade. To his more intimate friends,, among them myself, he is known as 'The King of Spades.u Heading more, you may have noticed that my friend Jerry was killed by a hit-and-run driver. This is, in part, the truth. immv ever, the King's friends know that Jerry would never have trusted to anything so indefinite as a hit- and-run driven Hhen my esteemed friend nThe King of Spadssn decided to commit suicide by an automobile accident, he went about it in the most scientific way. You must not, however, my read- ers, become obsessed with the idea that Jerry Spade was a chicken heart. It was only after several unsuccessful at- tempts by use of gum and knife that the King decided to give up his dramatic efforts and resort to the common place. DDe- ciding with efficiency that that night was the ideal time Jerry proceeded to set the scene of his death on a little used country road not far out of the city. On January l5th our friend was walking along this road when a car approached him from the north. When the vehicle was almost abreast of the man, another came rushing up be- hind him, lights blazing and horn blowing. Confused and up- set our friend jumped directly- into the path of the automo- bile coming from the north. He was hit, but neither car stopped. Now, my readers,'you must admit that the plan was skill- fully carried out. Even my friend, NThe King of Spades,n could not have wanted it done better. I know because he told me so himself this morning in his office. You see it was not he who died at all. It was Jerryls twin brother Jack, whom the King had had killed for his money! Shirley Whalen '45 HOW I READ A NEWS PAPER HHey! Ma, where's the paper? What? I can't hear. Oh, here it is. Never mind! What's this? Germans--Russians, Oh, it doesn't matter much. I'll read it later if I have time. Oh, my goodness, here's a murder. Now why would any- one want to murder her? Maybe her husband did it. Oh, yes, here it is! 'Husband Jealously Murders Wife'. Gets life imprisonment. Well there! Now, I wonder who won that game? Sports-page eleven. I knew before I looked that 'Deering would win. Oh my, look at this. 'Clark Gable is commis- sioned. 'Boyl here's the funnies. I wonder if Dick Tracy found the killer? Now why did they have to stop there? After I see how these turn out, I won't read another con- tinued comic--not unless it looks exciting anyway. Well, I guess I have read all that's important now. I think tomor- row or the next day I'll start reading the more important things, if I can find a little more time. But one is always so busy these days, and there are other things so much more interesting!

She thinks of the tine in grammar school When so sick with pneumonia he'd been, and the struggle he had with freshman Latin. But he was determined he'd win. Ohl the years have flown by so quickly It seems just like yesterday Nhen he got in a fight with The boy next door, And a doctor's bill Dad had She smiles as she remembers . to pay. These things of the past so clear how she dreaded the thought of his eighteenth birthday Jhich was drawing so near. Because she knew he'd want to enlist Q and go to fight for his homeland dear. She remembers the time at the station, Jhen they were saying goodbye. He looked so proud in his uniform It made her want to cry. His girl was there also, , So sweet and shy was sheg She loved him very deeply It was so plain to see. Now he has embarked For countries far away. But deep down in her heart She knows he'll return someday.

There is Than the when the Children THE BROOK no pleasanter spot on earth gurgling brook that runs through wood and forest days are long and hot come to cool their feet upon the moss. In the evenings when the song of the birds is silent' And the moon's silvery beams dance along the bank, The animal folk come out to talk and frolic Everything is quiet The summer turns to The leaves, like ch To crimson, orange, The wind is blowing The wind is growing and serene. autumn T ameleons, change their colors and yellow. stronger, colder, The leaves are swept downstream, Or caught by the outstretched arms of branches To remain, grasped tightly by their parents. Day The The The Are The by day the wind grows coldergf brook is covered with a blanket of ice. snowflakes begin to fall, ' trees, the ground, the brook, and all covered with a deep white blanket. songs of the birds are hushed. Only the shrill voice of the jay can be hear And the ghostly screech of the owl, by night. The ice has vanished from the brookg The water from the melting snow Flows from all directions as railroad tracks - With the brook es their terminal. Louder and louder the brook does roar As if angered at being hidden from the world. Again the squirrel scolds the passer-by. Once more the trees are cloaked in green, Once more the children have returned To dnmgle their bare feet in the cool water of the brook Once more the moon sends its silvery beams Dancing up and down the banks of the stream, Once more all is quiet and serene. d by day, J.

But there's one thing that makes me mad, And I want you all to know. I do not mind cold weather, I'm healthy--not a wreck. I can even laugh and grin When the snow goes down my neck. My hands and feet get--oh, so cold, My poor old back is lame, But lim stubborn and a good sport, So I shovel just the same. I get the driveway shoveled out Smooth and neat as a pin. And then the snow plow comes along And fills it up again. I say nothing the first time, But when it happens twice My brain is filled with anguish, I say words that are not nice. So though my thoughts are murderous I know I can't use force. I'l1 stay inside where itls nice and warm And let nature take its course. , - David Plympton '46 e 'Twas a very hot day in June, The farmer had eaten at noon, His whiskers were wet, But not with sweat, For he'd eaten his soup with no spoon! Betty Alley '46 Inscription For A Clock The clock, An able secretary, Writes in shorthand What time dictates. Frank Berchenko WHAT DOES A,MOHON THINK ABOUT? Many an intellectual has tried to figure out Just exactly what it is a moron thinks about Does he think about the weather Or why the grass is green? Or why the wind can always he felt But never can be seen? Does he wonder why the noon and stars Shine only in the night, Or why the water is always blue, But snow is always white? The question is still a puzzle, We'll have to leave it sow- What does a moron think about? After all--YOU should know! Lora Moulton '46 THE MUMPS I just came down with the mumps today-- At least that's what the doctors say. My jaws don't seem to work just right Though I chew and chew with all my might. My mouth won't open very wide and I have to stuff the food inside. The orange juice, I hate to say Brings back the pain that had gone away. I hate to stay in bed all day When the sound of laughter comes my way. But, never you mind, I'll soon be well-- At least, that's what the doctors tell. Richard Crowley 45 WIMPLE Simple, the typical henpecked man Got along with his wife as such a man can. Each night he faithfully did the dishes According to dear wifey's wishes. Wimple, one day, put on his hat Preparing to ge outdoors. In answer to wifey's question he said, Good-bye, I'm off' on a bat.

To The Freshmen You are the newest in the school? 1 Most of you don't know a single rule. When you first come in, you think you are smart But you soon will learn to take things to heart. The teachers, you will all agree, Make you ming to the nth degree, But soon you see why this is true And that is enough for both me and you. You groan at the thought of four long years, But after all it's not all tears, True there will be downfalls and defeats, But a good worker always beats. So you go on working with great strength Soon you'1l see it is of not such length. Richard Crowley 145. u AC T W H1325 A N 'X ow , QQ K 1 N fr ffd xii? vy, f X.

Q MAGAZINE CAMPAIGN The magazine campaign, sponsored by the Curtis and Crowell Publishing Companies, was agaln a success. The school was di- vided inte two teams - the Army team with Grace Shaw as captain and the Navy team with Wallace Gallant as captain. When Wallace left to go to Fort Denning, Georgia, Clayton Wentworth took his place. Caroline Wescctt had charge of all Crowell publications Eugene Irish was commander-in-chief of the entire campaign. The goal was set at a55o.oo. If the school reached this goal, a S25 war bond was tc be awarded to the highest salesman, boy or girl. Mildred Blake got the war bond from Curtis and also sold the most subscriptions for the Crowell Publishing Company. The school collected S444.25. The winning side got a box of candy and each rsaleaman selling one subscription got a ticket to the movies. Those receiving 'Certiffcates of Achievement were Viola Whitney, H. Wescott, J. Johnson, M. Blake, J. Cousins, P. Bur- nell, R. Richardson, and G. Brown. , CHRISTMAS TREE Miss Siteman came to the fore again and organized a Christ- mas Tree Party. Names were drawn for gifts which were to be accompanied by a verse. Before the tree half an hour was spent in writing Christ- mas letters to the Service Men. Before the gifts were distri- buted Miss Hoffmann read to the students. Next a recording of Dicken's nChristmas.CarolH with the part of Scrooge read by Ronald Coleman was played. While the gifts were being distri- buted by Santa Claus the girls passed out plates of candy. After the tree there was much enjoyment from an attempt to learn old-fashioned dances. I - In January Miss Siteman and Miss Hoffmann organized a girls' club for the purpose of providing some social life, doing commu- nity work, and providing activities for the bus students. 'The girls have been workingf on-scrapbooks ,for convalescent'ehildren and Service men. Their big activlty was to sel1LWariBonds and Stamps to buy a jeep which costs 31165. In less than two weeks they had more than the necessary money. Their activities are to continue until June. 4 THE SENIOR PLAY . - The senior play, HA Meddlesome Maidu was presented December 9th at Steep Falls and December lOth at Sebago Lake, The cast of characters was Clayton,Wentworth,'wJanet Uohnsoh, Eddie Wood- brey, Grace Shaw, Carlton Martin, Eugene Irish, Jeanette Chaplin, 'Mabel Thompson, Caroline Wescott, and Clifford Mayberry.

Margaret suspects one baby is her husbands, Charlie Winthrop CEddie Woodbreyj Dolly Darling accuses her fiance Robert White KC1ayton Wentworthl of being the father of the other. Their suspicions are strengthened by their overhearing Charlie and Robert, talking about their se- crets in the garage. Imagine their chagrin when they discover the secrets are a boat and roadster. The part of Mrs. Fraser, a friend of Sams' was played by Mabel Thompson. Mrs. Rita Griffin, the former owner of the beat, was played by Caroline Wescott. Richard O'Neil, a plain clothes man, was played by Clifford May- berry. I ' JEEP - I The Sale of Bonds and Stamps has been one of the projects of the Girls' Club. Their first goal was the buying of a jeep, the price of which is 31165. This goal was reached one week afterthe selling of bonds and stamps started. The students of the High School and' Sebago 'Laksv Grammar School were able to see a jeep similar to the one purchased. On April 26 Mrs. Lyda H. Berry, state educational director of War Finance Committee, Mr. Daniel W. Hoegg, state publicitydirv actor for War Finance and Cpl. Robert Buotte, Fort Williams, came out with the long awaited jeep. Mrs. Berry who was intreduced by Shirley Whalen, presented the school with a M1nute'fHanjlFlag, .a certificate for the sale of bonds and stamps, and 'a .certificate for the wonderful work they have done initheir sales. levies pre- ceded the program. Following her talk the students and teachers were ghenmrides in the jeep. This was enjoyed by all. Thanks are to be extended to Cpls Bvotte, the driver. X Miss Siteman deserves much credit for the commendable iwrk she has done to further the sale of Bonds and Stamps. ,,-1. -- ..+,g.,g.1 S. 4. --.-z-:- S. . .. . 5 'ifs 1,1 Is ,ig -..

The opening day of the Tournament, March 9th, In a game that proved the teams equally match- ed and proviced many thrills for their supporters. Falmouth beat Standish, 22-20. In spite of the defeat Standish sup- porters felt the bogs had done a good piece of work. Eddie Woodbrey and layton Wentworih were chosen for the All-Star Team. Another game of interest was the game between the Bombardiers, Freshman and Seniors, and the Paratroopers, Sophomores and Juniors.
