Host high school students are very but it is nevertheless true that these same stop to give serious attention to this aspect of life. Yet all activities will go more smoothly if we take time out for serious thinking and meditation. Many people consider this ridiculous, but we often discover for ourselves that when things go wrong, we have to take time out to straighten things which have become bent. This applies in a very practical way to our schools. We often joke about them in such a way as to imply that we could get along very well without them, Ue all realize that this is not so. The school is the fourth most important institution in existence. Only the home, the state, and the church are more important. The school is the basis of all American business and enterprise. It provides the foundation most important This same Many people do and national. they find it e of all American commerce abroad. In essence it is the of all groundwork laid for American business. situation extends to our recognition of the state. little but complain about the government, both state They also find time to complain about the local. Yet tremely difficult to find time to vote. If these people would do something about the government and discontinue abusing and finding fault with those who serve and with their policies, they would find that their complaints might very easily be solved by the public themselves. A timely suggestion by a private citizen could result in the beneficial solution of a difficult problem. This doesn't mean that a private citizen should try to run the government, by any manner of means, but it is better to be practical than ridiculous. The number one duty of any true American citizen is his responsibility of voting. It is not only a duty but a great privilege of which no one should fail to avail himself. If you are too young to vote, your greatest value in this matter is to interest others and tell them of their responsibility. I Of course, the two remaining institutions are closely related. If the family of the home is devout in their worship of God, they will naturally seek a church. This also is a true American heritage. In God we have a true friend, and we should always keep that in mind. Freedom of worship is one of our greatest possessions. We can not emphasize too much that these three institutions are basic to our American way of life. We should always guard them well. We should never allow any alien force to ggt a foothold in our country and must strive to keep it strong and free as long as we live.

On Labor Day he was given the pencil-decimating outn on the short- assignment of covering the labor unions parade, the Maine Odd Fellows outing, the annual outing, the annual outing of Engine Five of Dunston and the Knights of Pythias field day. He worked for the Portland Press for 16 years, skipped over to the Evening Express Advertiser in 1922 as feature writer, then came back to the Press as state editor in l92h. He held that retired. Moore was born at Hollis in 1877, only child of job until he Dr. James T. Moore, a country doctor, and Frances Boothby Moore, a school teacher. He was graduated in 1897 with Standish High School's first class. Three members of that class were with him when they the alumni at a dinner in Portland two years ago.

His first newspaper experience was as Standish correspondent for the old Portland Globe, a weekly. Then, in order, he took on the Daily Argus, Portland Press and Lewiston Journal. For this he received nothing in the way of remuneration. He benefited only to the extent of getting free subscriptions to those papers. He trod humbly, whimsically, with the great dignity of a man who believes in the dignity of others, guided by an integrity that co-or- dinated his gifted powers of expression and gave meaning to them. His was a rare honesty breathing from every sentence of his column, nAll in a Lifetime.n In chronicling the scene of a pair of old codgers clipping each other's hair in a back yard at Cabbageyard, he didn't dream up cute phrases or introduce trumped-up episodes to frost his saga with ncolorn. Color, in writing, is often fraudulent. Ed Moore simply wrote of the barbering bee, of the lightning rod salesman or the old pot-bellied stove in the school-house, as he remembered them, letting his honesty weld his writing skill and the faithfulness of his memory into a work of art. A keen mind drafted his prose, a big heart edited it, a pure con- science made it whole. iiiliiilililiflgiiif . I want.to be fit for myself to know: Always to look myself straight in the eye.

Author unknown MORE EMPHASIS SHOULD BE PLACED ON GIRLS' SPORTS There is not enough interest in girls' sports. Everyone is interested in boys' sports alone, and this situation is un- fair to the participating girls. Lack of interest prevails not only in this high school but in practically every high school throughout the nation. Because of this indifference, there are not enough girls who participate, and who, therefore, miss the benefits of the healthful activity and the chance to learn and practice good sportsmanship. Physical health is improved by playing basketball. Deep breathing is needed if a person is to run up and down a basketball floor. Good, healthful exercise works up an appetite for a hearty meal. A person can get a restful sleep after moderate exercise. Throughout your life you will need to depend, to a certain extent, upon others. In sports one learns that he alone can not win the gameg it takes teamwork to win. A person also learns to cooperate. He has to cooperate with the coach and with the other members of the team. The indifference with which people regard girls' sports is also unfair to the coach. He works as hard as the boys' coach does, but he doesn't get the public praise and interest which he deserves. It would be much fairer to everyone concerned if an equal emphasis were placed on boys' and girls' sports, Priscilla Foster Connie Gray .,: . .?L,:,. .4 . .,:,:,:,. .4 . .4 . , E+, .,: . .A:,:,:.. .4 32... ..:::5,...,:'. ws,-.,, 'f'- -.311 .-'E:g.j'-.2212-'iz'.f'-.5.1'Q.-'2:3.f'-.5:21.-'?.5.Q'-.5:1'L-'f'- .-'g:g.,'-.3:f,.IT:g.,'-4:-:,.-255.,'-.5-',.-35:7 .-f'. . 1-, : . . : . .-:-:-:-. .-: . .-y: . . .-: . .-:-:-:-. .4 . .-:-:-:-. . .sz . .-.4. ACKNOWLEDGMENT TO COMMERCIALS Mr. and Mrs. Jones very seldom entertained, but on this partic- ular night they were giving a party and had invited the Smiths and the Browns. To prepare herself for the occasion, Mrs. Jones washed her hair with Charles Antell's Lanolin Plus Shampoo and did it up on Bobbi Rubber Tipped Bobby Pins so the ends of her hair wouldn't split. In order that dinner should not be a problem, she prepared sandwiches of Kraft's Cheese Spread and Campbell's Tomato Soup, how- ever the soup burned on, and, while Mrs. Jones was pulling it to the back of the stove, she burned herself. The burn was quickly fixed with Unguentine, and because Mrs. Jones didn't want her injury to show, she put over it a Johnson's and Johnson's Flesh Colored Band Aid. To make dish-washing a pleasure, she used Vel in the dishpan. A few stains remained, but S.O.S. caused them to vanish. To make her sink and stove more neat she used Ajax and floated the dirt right down the drain. But alas! Her hands were rough and red! Mrs. Jones, however, simply smiled at this. She used Sweetheart Soap to produce that school girl complextion and then Jergen's Lotion to make her hands beautifully soft and white. She then brushed her teeth with Colgate Tooth Paste and, to insure good breath, she gargled with Listerine. When the time for the party came, she got out her RCA Victor waltz records, for she had learned to waltz beautifully right at home with Arthur Murry's Dance Course. As fate would have it, when the time for refreshments came, all the women declared they were on diets. Mrs. Jones was ready for this-emergency. She served calorie-controlled Kruger Beer and Ry Krisp. The party was a success after all. Joan Foster '57 . .'-r'.1:::'. 2 -'sw' .zv'4. .fs'1- 4 s-rf '+ :. A'a'. fr:'f-'fra .-:G :1:w'f1f:G:f-'.

Each member owns a camera, and space is always reserved for them in the automobile To us they are as important as a driver is to the car. As our ancestors came from Waldoboro, we went there to visit the cemetery and attend the annual service of the German Lutheran Church. This church was built in 1772 and has an interesting history. We took many pictures of the big barn-like building. The interior pictures were not successful, as the box pews of natural pine and faded gray paint around the attractive pulpit could not be appreciated in black and white print. We found it difficult to describe this historical church to our friends from our snap shots. This made us realize that a 3S-milli- meter camera, which takes colored slides, was what we wanted for future use. Last September such a camera was purchased. Our first trip with the new camera was along the Maine Coast, We took pictures of several old forts and an unusual picture of the surf at Wells and York Beaches, as there was a hurricane only a few miles out to sea A few This was a Notch area Still the library to study the history weeks later the foliage attracted us to the White Mountains clear day, and we got wonderful scenes of the Crawford and snowecapped Mount Washington. A remembering our visit to Waldoboro, we borrowed books from of the church, in so doing we were inspired to study and visit other early Maine churches. Sunday mornings after our nine oiclock church service, Mother packs a lunch, Dad takes the camera, and I grab the Sunday paper. We are now ready for another mystery ride, hoping to find many churches we have not photographed before. Even if the trip is planned, whenever we see the spire of a church we meander to it. Many times this leads to a building of unusual structure and always some peculiar characteristic. when we arrive at an old church, we look it over. As most of them are locked, we have to peek in the windows to see if the interior is remodeled or churches, we construction If there picnic area, church it is taking Recently in its original plan. After seeing several of these are able to determine the approximate date of its seems to be activity around the church, we drive to a where we eat and read the paper. when we return to the usually vacant. Then we follow the regular routine of a picture and studying the building. we ventured to Whitefield to take a picture of an early Catholic church and school. Upon arrival we found the parking area filled to capacity. Many people were near the abandoned brick build- ing where they were attending a service. We drove on. Later in the afternoon we returned only to find more cars and people. By this time it was too late to take a clear picture. This was the rare occasion on which we did not complete our mission. The Elijah Kellog Church in Harpswell is one of the oldest with the best preserved exterior. Most of the pews were removed to make room to store ammunition to use in protection from the Indians. Across the road the new Elijah Kellog Church is located. This church has a beautiful sunburst glass window over the main entrance. Its steeple is large and tall in comparison with the size of the building. we were fascinated by a church in Walpole. This church has doors on three sides and a pulpit window on the fourth. The pulpit window is a characteristic of the older churches and is located half way between the floor and the balcony. Before entering churches of this type, people had to observe the direction of draft. This learned that we have the state of r the wind and use the door that would create the least was the custom before churches were heated. We also the people were allowed to help keep their feet warm. a picture of the Kennebunk church, which was the first in Maine to buy a Paul Revere Bell. We have found that the lest Paul Revere Bell to be sold is in a church at Benton Falls. We are looking forward to the trip there soon. We have a picture of the Saint Patrick's Roman Catholic Church in Damariscotta. This is a small brick building with a Paul Revere Bell. We were fortunate to find the door unlocked with a note welcom- ing visitors.

Aside from the churches and scenes we have many pictures of our family and friends. Often we catch the mischievous actions of my sisters three little girls when they are with us. These pictures help us relate the joy of their visits. As we were not confident in our ability to take flash pictures, we failed to get action pictures of the basketball games. We do have pictures of the players, coach, and cheerleaders taken at Waterville and the Father-Son game. We also enjoy taking pictures at local activities such as the dance recital and minstrel show. Now that we have added a projector and screen to our equipment, we like to share our slides and adventures with our friends and neighbors. I believe our family hobby is educational and recreational to us and those with whom we share it.

Up in the sky so big and blue Is a story that now is finally true. The sky is a thing of mystery, But in us it induces fantasy. We think and dream of reaching the stars, Or sailing away to the planet Mars. How close the stars and moon may seeml Yet we know in our heart, as we think and dream, That even if through the stars we roam, True love and joy are found at home. If we gaze at a leaf as it gently sways, Or at the sun with its golden rays, We find the happiness we've been seeking Close to home in nature's keeping. Nature always contains much joy, And the gold from its soil is not alloy. Though life for us contains much harm, The essence of nature is truly its charm. For the soil or the birds or the deep blue sky Were never known to tell a lie, And the trees at our head and the grass at our were never known to steal or cheat. Many have found as they journeyed along From each act of nature they heard a song, And you from trouble will find release, If you will let nature give you this peace. Carl Mores '55 feet TRIP T0 BOSTON On Friday afternoon, March 12, we literally took offf' for Boston and the New England Interscholastic Basketball Tournament. We arrived and checked in at 6:00 P. M. Our first move was to go to our rooms and clean up. Then we went our separate ways and ate supper. After that we met in Boston Garden for the second round of the tourney. we were all for Ellsworth, the Maine Champions, but they were beaten in the last 10 seconds by Hillhouse, from New Haven, the eventual winner of the tournament. After the game Billy Yankowsky and his party took a little trip out around Quincy and got in around M230 A. M. Some of the others, occupants of 1003, carried on telephone conversations with parties in 1103 and various other rooms until 2:00 A. M. The next morning we all had breakfast, with Les Hanscom con- suming his customary four helpings. Bill Ciccarone, Vern Morton, and Dave Bustin journeyed over to the Garden to get the best seats in the house for the Celtics- Knickerbocker game that afternoon. They wound up in the fifth bal- cony on the end line! After that game, Carl Mores and Leslie Hanscom boarded a sub- way for Haymarket Square and ended up at Logan Airport. They didn't know how to get back by subway, so they took a taxi and arrived just in time for the games. In the game that night Hillhouse continued their mastery over New England opponents and defeated Cathedral. Their great bench enabled them to wear down Cathedral. At half time, a group of girls from Winchester, who were defeated by East Haven in the B game, put on an imposing display of gymnastics and athletic ability. They were dressed as Indian squaws, and this added much to the effective ness of the exhibition. After the game, we got something to eat and started for the parking lot. Again the miracle man, Les Hanscom, well assisted by Carl Mores, put away another full course dinner. This time it was scallops and other sea food. To the hilarious laughter of Dave Ctee-hee! Feeney we started home arriving at approximately 3:00 A.H It was really a most enjoyable time. We of the team wish to thank those who made our trip possible. We would especially like to thank the Kiwanis Club for sponsoring the trip and the fine gentlemen who donated their cars and time to take us. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and each activity we engag ed in while in Boston.

It was a hot day on the sun--just right for the birth of a new fireball. He could hardly wait! Then the doctor came out of the delivery room. nCongratulations,n he said. nYou are now the proud papa of a fifteen pound, three hundred twenty-six ounce baby blaze.' Sam leaped for joy. He would Cal, after his great-grandfather. geny would be sworn into the union comet, free to whirl through space As the years went rolling by, name the arrival Creamatory In a matter of years his pro- and would become a full fledged at his leisure. Creamatory Cal became a very destructive little blaze. As young as he was, he dared to race small stars through space when he wasn't even supposed to be off the sun. As a matter of fact, he became one of the fastest baby comets in the history of the sun, although he would always cheat in the important races. Gal's father, Sam, just didn't know what to do with him. He decided that the only way to cure him was to make him race against Haleys, the champion comet, who specialized in long races. So Sam entered Cal in the annual Sunland Sweepstakes, in which all entries were required to go from the sun down to the stratosphere of the planet Earth, make a turn, and come back. The only comet ever to complet this course was Haleys. The day of the race arrived. The sole entries were Creama- tory Cal and Haleys' Comet. At the combustion of the Acicuric' Caloriphiacit Dioxide the two were off. At the first lap, Jupiter, they were neck and neck, as they were when they approached Mars. Then before they knew it, they were coming to the earth's strato- here Hale s' Comet slowed down sp - . y - . thought his opponent was running out of breath, went all and within a matter of seconds smashed into the crust of when he came to, he could not to make the turn but Cal, who the faster, the earth. remember anything, he was in a state of amnesia. He looked around him but saw nothing except darkness. Then he looked up through the hole his fall had made. Slowly he climbed out and saw a big city. Then his mischievous soul got the better of him. He whirled curiously over the city until he saw an animal, strange to him but known to us as a cow. He proceeded to tease it until it kicked a lantern over onto Cal's foot. At this Cal became so incensed that he streaked furiously around the city, setting fire to everything he could find. ln history this catastrophe is known as the Big Chicago Fire of 1871. This experience created in Cal a strong dislike for the earth, and he decided that he would try to transforn it into another sun by setting it all afire. His father would be surely proud of , him if he founded a colony where the overcrowded sun people could live. First he set fire to peoples' houses, not a great number, you understand, because he didn't went anyone to find him out. He had discovered that a certain liquid called water would, shall we say, cool him off a bit, so he avoided it. While he was so engaged he was also olannina his major move.

THE RUINATION OF MIKE MALONE Mike Malone is an ordinary guy such as you would expect to see in any ordinary high school. He is about five nine, stockily built, blonde, and well tanned from his last summer's work. My name is Dave Powers, his running mate. Mike and I are both Juniors in East High School. This kid likes the same thing that most junior lads like- baseball, basketball, gym, food, etc. I know what you are thinking: this crazy, mixed-up kid has left out one thing--dames. This, my friends, is the catch. Mike is allergic to all females- blondes, redheads, and otherwise. It might be different if Mike's old man was stuffy and old fashioned and wouldn't let him take his vehicleg but, no, he will occasionally break down on Saturday nights. The other day something happened to change my little tale-- and Mike. It's cause was a pretty little thing in the person of Fran Wilton. The first time Mike saw her, the poor kid floated around in a daze for the remainder of the day. After the final bell had rung, he approaches me. WDaven, he says, nYou've had your share of womeng how do you go about meeting a girl.N nI'm no authority on femalesn, I return. nThis is something you've got to fight a1one.n Mike goes home that night, figuring how he is going to do this. Then he thinks to himself, WI could ask her to go out with me. It can't be too bad.n He thinks a moment. Finally he rises, runs to the phone before he can change his mind, dials hastily, and someone answers. WEr---is Fran there,H he mutters. NThis is she,n is the cool reply. nEr, Fran, this is Mike, and--and---I was wonderinq, that is, well, have you got our biology asslgnmentn? This Mike is a coward from 'way back. He sits around for about another hour, then he rises abruptly, and heads for the phone. NFran, this is Mike, and will you go to the movies with me?n Mike has taken the fatal plunge, and he thinks there is nothing quite like it. Little does Mike know that he is another victim of Cupid's quite accurate arrow. Now, friends, if I were Drew Pearson, I'd predict that this is the temporary ruination of Mike Malone: no more spectacular ranks in biology, no more saving of his hard earned money, no more clutch hits off East High's green diamond. I say temporary, because in about two month's time they'1l probably break up, but by then Mike is in the wrong groove anyway. Yes, this looks like the ruination of Mike Malone, David Langley WSSN 12 'V Sli? Q S' , ONLY FIVE MINUTES nEverybody inln called the bell boy.

Everyone that gets on this here elevator is in such a hurry that they don't know whether they are comin' or goin'.H HNever mind what my rush is. Just get going.n nJust a minute! There is a lady and a gent coming down the hall like they were going to a fire.u HMain floor,n the charming lady said. Into the elevator dashed Miss White, a beautiful blond, followed by a little man with his hat pulled down over his face. He was clutching a brief- case under his arm. nwill you get this crate started, Buster? I've got to get out of here.H . Miss White looked at her watch nervously and mumbled, nOh, dear! I can't be late! I just can't.H Hwill you people shut up! I'm getting you there as fast as I can. We are almost down to the street floor now.H Bang! The elevator came to a halt. There it rested between the second and first floor. Doctor Jones, an attractive young brain specialist, had been called while visiting a friend. The hospital informed him that there had been a car accident. A young lady had been thrown from the car and needed a brain operation at once. This was not the first such call he had had. He was always called on cases like that. Tom gave part of the credit for his success to his wife. Mary wasn't beautiful, but he loved her for what she was. She had insisted on working while he took special courses. He didn't know what he would have done without her. Well, if he oouldn't get to the hospital in time, he just couldn't. Miss White ran her hand through her hair with a worried expres- sion. would she arrive at the station in time to meet her boy friend? At the minute she had decided to give up her career to marry John. She had put it off so long that he had given her her choice: either she go with him to a small village in Maine where he had a good job, or they would be finished for good. Her movie career didn't matter to her now. She realized what a fool she had been and how she would miss him. She knew she would never see him again if she didn't make it. The little man with the hat pulled down over his face seemed more upset than any of them. Wouldn't you, if you had just killed someone? Oh, Max hadn't intended to commit murder but what else could he have done when he had been caught stealing money. Mr. King had entered the room just as Max was leaving with the loot. The man put up a fight, so Max had to kill him to escape. Max had run down the hall as fast as he could. A shout behind him told him that someone must have seen him leave the apartment. He made a dash for the elevator. The cops would be there in a few minutes and he would be caught! There, folks, I told you it would be only a few minutes. We have been here exactly five minutes. The elevator slowly came to a halt on the main floor. ' Everybody out! There he is, officer! nOkay, mister, we've got you covered! There's no chance for you to escape. Max gave up and went to jail.

My wife, deadtn Meanwhile Miss White entered the railroad station. She ran to the tracks just in time to see the train leave. A wave of panic came over her and she sadly turned from the station. Suddenly some- one tapped her on the shoulder.

He had been thirty- nine years old when death overtook Smiling Jack Waterford. Our Story, however, starts twenty-six years ago,--our story because it seems as though a part of me died just now. Walking home from school in July that day, I had decided that I would take a dip in Holigans Creek, which ran down from Berrytown. The cool, swift water felt good. The pleasure of splashing around was so relaxing before tending the chores. Cow's had to be milked, wood cut, and the west field cleared, er I would be forced to answer to the wrath of God's disciple. Climbing out of the creek with a sigh, I was proceeding to get dressed when the clear call of a whippoorwill cut the quiet afternoon air. Coming down Snub-Nose hill at a reckless pace was a red-headed, rangy, lad about my own age. He came up to me with the devil's own grin and stated that his name was Jack Water. I told him mine was David Farrington. This brought a hearty chuckle. Whither I'm awful slow, or that water's awful cool,' he said grinning. WMy Pa just moved west of you half a mile and sent me over to your Dad's to see if we could buy a cow. We had to give ours to the natives or lose our hair. Ma decided it was the cow, and Pa is still growling at the recollec- tion. There were only seven of them Redskins. I came across your Pa cutting switches, asked him about a cow, and he told me to come and get you a-hustling before we talked business. He also said he would see me in church Sunday. I didn't say no for fear he would lay a switch to me. I heard Parson Farrington is no man to fool with.N Talking about fishing, hunting, and swimming, we headed down the trail. It was great to have a friend that lived so near. I dare say few boys had such luck. Jack got the cow by helping me clear the west field. They needed milk for his younger sister and mother. His Pa was a black- smith and soon became a popular, respected man in Berrytown. Pa didn't give me the switch that day, instead he smiled and said he had forgotten what boys were apt to do. I loved and respected my Pa. Anyone who had done a good deed was sure to gain a treasured smile from the man who practically ran the community. People asked his advice on everything, from planting to naming a new family member. That is how Smiling Jack got his name--that smile of benevolence and laughter, lighting up a face set off by sparkling eyes. Jack and Pa were as different as black and white. Jack always destroyed the opposition, while Pa preached tolerance. Jack and I hunted, fished, swam, fought, and worked side by side through the hot summers and cold winters of Vermont. Frontier life isn't an easy life, but we thrived on it. Jack was the taller by half a head, standing 6' 3 in stocking feet. The townspeople called us the Young Panthers, a name as fitting as any could be, for we spent all our time next to nature except for scant schooling. These were the happiest years of our life. Jack and I were both nineteen when the fever of independence reached a climax. I had just married Jack's younger sister, Sharon, and was hoping to do a little farming, but my heart wasn't in it, so I was glad when she said I could go east with the Vermont Rangers. The best equipped, best trained light infantry in the country, they had been started by Jack and trained by a neighbor, Ethan Allen. Ethan was going to stay home because of political differences, but the Young Panthers wanted adventure, and in the years to come they got it. The Vermont Rangers, under Jack's able leadership, saved the day at Pells Point, Whitefield and Long Island. When Washington crossed the Potomac, we were with him. We had started with one hundred sixty-eight men, now we were reduced to sixty-three fight- ing madmen. Starvation, freezing and death from wounds, claimed most of our number. Others died on the battle field. None deserted! That Christmas Eve was pure hell. Eight men lost hands or arms from frost bite, three more passed out from hunger. Jack took off his coat in the hope of preventing a boy, who had passed out from hunger, from freezing. The others had nothing to take off. We fought like the mad men we were, only now it was a personal matter,--a fight for life, for the food, clothes, and shelter that are the essentials of life. The night dragged by. Mental anguish seemed to prolong to the point torture the endurance of our emaciated bodies. Jack was cry- ing like a baby as he held the form of a likable lad who had worshiped the ground he walked on. When Jack had found out that the boy was only sixteen, he had tried to send him home. He would never return now. A mother had lost from exposure a boy who had faced all kinds of physical and mental torture but could still die with love for enemies as well as friends in his heart. Yes, the mist on my face wasn't caused by the cold, stark dawn, We won that day the hardest battle of our life, the battle to keep alive against the ruthless elements of nature. I was ready to settle down now, and so was Jack. We both went back to farming. We were neighbors and as close as brothers. Jack raised a family of seven, all boys with red hair. I had a family of five, four boys and one girl. Three months ago I left for the Senate of the United States and returned home to find Jack dead. He died at the hands of a mob when he tried to protect a suspected horse thief. The town will always support his family and are going to raise a monument for him, but when ever I think of Smiling Jack, I will come here by the creek with its simple wooden cross marked 1758-1799.

Not finding any, he headed down the road to Jimmy Davis' house Jimmy wasn't anywhere to be seen, so Ronny, instead of knocking at the door, decided to throw some pebbles at the living room window, as he had seen his favorite cowboy, Hopalong Rogers, do in his latest movie. However, the pebbles must have been a little too large because they didn't glance off - they kept right on going through and eventually landed on the living room sofa.

Satan didn't say a word, but merely laughed his sinister laugh. Now Ronny was falling past big store windows, one after the other. In the windows stood Carol Ann with two large serpents in each hand. As he kept falling, each window seemed to come closer to him than the one that had just passed and for one horrible moment it seemed as though she was going to shove them down his throat. Then they vanished. Now he was falling through a corn field. The leaves seemed to reach out and grab at his throat as he hurled past, but the leaves were slippery and he soon passed through. uTake me back, pleaseln he screamed at the devil. Satan, however, just laughed and pointed downward. Ronny looked down as he began to fall faster andffaster. Coming toward him rapidly was a huge sea of sour milk and broken glass.

She rode me in the greatest race ever run. Although I was only three years old, I won. Yes, victory was mine, but so was irremediable loss. I lost the best friend a horse ever had. Gur friendship was from the minute I saw her. I had just arrived at my was frightened. Everyone was afraid of me because I My mistress, however, wasn't afraid of anything, no, death. She proved it on a thronging into the race greatest races ever run winner of the South. I beat anything that ever I loved her new home and am a stallion. not even of different from most, because cool September day when the crowds were way to witness what was to be one of the between the winner of the North and the was an outsider. My groom believed I could set foot on a track, but my mistress didn't want me raced because she had been ill and was very weak. No one else could ride me because I was too wild and nervous. I hated other humans and showed it. No one else could even coma near my stall unless she was with them. She had even trained me to go , simply by the pressure of her fingers on my neck. The bridle and reins were just for looks. I was only a horse. The word heart disease meant nothing to me, but a dread sense of foreboding oppressed me as my mistress led me out onto the track and mounted. I was very nervous and pranced a lot. They led a large bay gelding out onto the track. His groom and rider were having difficulty holding him. Suddenly he broke away and came straight at me. I rose to meet him, determined not to let him reach my mistress. His forelegs came crashing down on mine. Suddenly, quick as lightning, I turned and caught him under the chin with my hind legs. The impact dazed him enough so that his groom could get him under control. It was a short lived battle, but my right foreleg was cut. My mistress guided mined to run. She felt me to the side of the track, but I was deterw my leg. It wasn't swollen very much, so she guided me out onto the track and let me go. The other two were already half way around the first lap when I started. She held me back and didn't really give me my head until I was only a half a length behind the others. Then she dropped the reins and buried her hands in my long, thick her fingers on my neck. black mane. I could feel the pressure of Suddenly they went limp. I started to slow down, but her voice kept urging me on. I made up my mind I would win for her, and lengthened my stride even more. Then it was over--I had won by a half length! I slowed down to a slow rack and then a careful walk. Proudly I went into the winner's stand. 'My mistress slipped down and threw her arms around my neck, I rubbed my nose along her shoulder, and that's the way we stood with the applause of the crowd ringing in our ears. I'll never forget it as long as I live. Then her arms went limp and her body sagged. Anxiously I watched as some men came and took her away. NGood-by, my little horse,W I heard her whisper. I nicksred low in my throat. Then she was gone, gone forever, for her brave heart had lost its last race with death. The ride home was quiet and everyone was sad. The cup was mean- ingless to me now--it couldn't take the place of her. I rode alone in the back of the van. I wanted it that way. Oh! How I missed herl Now I am home with my first owner where I met her. Sometimes after the grooms and stable boys have gone home, and the stable lights are put out, I stand in the darkness and think back over the happy days we shared together. Sometimes in the shadows I will think I see her standing. Eagerly I stretch my head toward her and nicker wist- fully, but there is no answer. So I return to my solitary memories, taking each day as it comes, doing my work patiently, getting as much happiness as I can from each ensuing day. It is a lonely vigil that I keep, but not a hopeless one, for someday, I know, I shall see her standing there, and when I reach toward her, she will not vanish, she will move towards me in responee to my welcoming whinny. She will whisper my name softly just as she used to, and I will feel her arms aiound my neck with the knowledge that we are together again--for a ways.

The sun was shining down warmly upon the plains, while A cool breeze.was blowing. Two cow pokes were sitting drow- sily in the sun, watching the cattle and discussing their week's vacation that was to start the next day. Suddenly they straightened in their saddles to see a rider approaching at a full gallop from the northwest out of New Mexico. As he rode toward them, his chaps seemed to ripple in the breeze. He came up to them, stopped, and asked if he might rest and feed his horse. Joe said he might, all the time eyeing his chaps, which were fur side out. Still enviously eyeing the long, glossy fur, Joe asked, uHey, pardner, where'd you come by those, and what are they made of?d UWell,u said the rider, HI work on a ranch in southern Texas. I get laid off not mcre'n a month ago, and I sort o' drifted into New Mexico. I met a feller there who asked me to go bear huntin' with him.

The-stranger rose. HThe bears grow biggest a1d there are more of 'em up in the Rocky Mountains at Timber Hotch,u he said, and off he rode in the direction of southern Texas, Consequently, that night saw Joe Tucker and Shut Up Smith at the bunk house getting their supplies ready for a week's bear hunt. .Before daybreak the next morning they were up and gulping down flapjacks, They saddled their horses, loaded the pack horses, and were off as the first rays of the min appeared over the horizon is they reached tho mountains, they saw the Notch up ahead. They were half way up the mountain when they reached a marshy place, probably the head of a mountain stream, where Joe noticed a track in the soft dirt and called Shut Up's attention to it. nYeah,u said Shut Up, Jwhoevcr left that track shore had long toe nails.n Joe said, HThat's not a personls trackg that's a bear tracklu WWell,H said Shut Up, Hif that is a bear track, our 30-30's won't no more'n sting lim, Only way to kill 'im is to shoot down his throat and choke 'im to deathih By the time they reached the Notch they were plumb tuckered out, and it was nearly dark anyhow. H1 think I will turn in, said Joe. ' HMe, too,H chimed Shut Up Smith. HI am tired aid this country is tilted too much for a plainsmanf' Joe and Shut Up had both brought their own sleeping bags because Shut Up could not bear to hear Joe snore, but thinking back to that bear track on the mountain, he decided to sleep closerto Joe than he could have in a double sleeper. It was a black night, not a star in the sky, and Joe had just dropped off to sleep when Shut Up gave him a poke. nJoe, I heard something right here near our duffle bag! M-maybe it is a bear! quavered Shut Up. 'HReach out and feel its tail, and if it is more'n four inches long, it ain't no bear,n said Joe. A second later Shut Up let out a wail, and Joe started banging away with his 30-30. Then he fanned up the fire, and there in its light kay a porcupine shot clean through the middle, while Shut Up was yelling and jumping around with a hand full of quills, After a long, painful session spiced with considerable cussing from Shut Up, they got the quills pulled out and went back to sleep. The next day they walked all over the mountain in their search for bear, but their only game was a spike horn buck shot by Joe. He left the innards hanging in a tree for bear bait. The deer he hung in a tree near the camp, Shut Up said, nTonight I am going to take a club to bed with me, You shot a hole through the coffee pot last night, and now if any perky-pines come around, I'll olobber 'em. Good nightln and he went peacefully to sleep. I It was nearly daybreak the next morning when Joe got his ribs poked again, and Shut Up whispered, UThere's more perky-pines in this country than I have ever seen. There is another one in our duffle bag nowln Snatching up his club, Joe aimed a vicious blow at the duffle bag where he could just barely make out a dark, moving form.

Her mother came into the kitchen and greeted her. nHello, Janie, I thought I heard you come in.n nHello, Mother,n Janie said, more as force of habit than as a greeting. nHow did school go today?n Mrs. Sheffield asked. - nSimply wonderful,n Janie sighed. nOh, mother, you should see him--he's simply terrific.n nwho is?u Mrs. Sheffield asked. nwhy, our new math teacher.

I've got oodles of homework to do, and I want to hear 'Our man, Wednesday,' on 'Snagnet' tonight.H The next morning, as soon as Janie got to school, she went in to Mr. Adams' room and very innocently asked, nMr. Adams, I hope you won't think me bold if I ask you a rather personal question.H nOf course not, Janie, what is it you want to know?n Mr. Adams asked. nAre you going to the Senior Prom, Mr. Adams?H Janie blurted. Nwell, I wanted to, but I can't find a girl to---H nI'm a girl,H Janie said, without waiting for him to finish his reply. NI know that, but are you sure you don't mind?H nOh, no, I don't mind, I'd love to,n Janie said. nI'll call for you at seven, then,n Mr. Adams replied. NI'll be waiting,U Janie said as she left the room. She literally flew home. Everything had to be just perfect for this date, she thought, as she took her bath. She set her hair, manicured her nails, and did all the things that a girl must do before a big date. By the time she was finished, it was time for dinner. She put on a plain dress and went down to the table. As soon as she had eaten she rushed back upstairs. At exactly five minutes to seven she was ready. Mr. Adams came for her at seven. He was not a minute late. He helped her into the car and she thought, the boys at school wouldn't help their dates into a car. I when they drove out to the suburbs, Janie wondered where they were going. Then he pulled up at the gate of a cute little cottage and got out. He came around and opened the door for Janie and helped her out. She followed him up the steps without saying a word. He opened the door without knocking and walked in. There was a very pretty woman sitting on the couch and she rose as they came into the room. Mr. Adams said, NJanie, I'd like you to meet my wife.n NYour wife?n Janie repeated. UYes,N said the woman, Hand I want you to know that we appre- ciate your babysitting for us so that we can go to the dance. All Janie could say was, nOh.n After Mr. and Mrs. Adams had left, Janie, who thought all the kids at the dance would envy her in her new evening dress and especially when she walked in with Mr. Adams, sat down on the couch and thought to herself, I might have known that a man as nice look- ing as Mr. Adams would be married.

They had spent all of their money in buying the little grocery store that John had always wanted! It wasn't that Johnny didn't get plenty of trade-the trouble lay in the fact that the customers didn't and couldn't pay for what they got. And it wasn't really the customers' fault, either. The factory, which had been the main occupation of the people in Littleton, had recently moved South. nJohnny, don't you think it's about time that we built the extra room on the house?n Johnny banged his fist on the counterl uNow, if that isn't just like a womanl Here I am, trying to figure out how to make both ends meet and you want to build a housetn Martha looked at him reproachfully. nNow, Johnny, don't get so excited.

Suddenly he rushed over to Martha, encircling her with his arms. nI'm so sorry, HOBBY' I didn't mean to shout like thatt Is there anything that I can do for you? How about a glass of milk? Are you cold? wait just a moment, dear, and I will get a sweater for you. Ohh I must call the doctorln MarthaYs countenance registered amusement and appreciation as she said,'Now calm down, Johnny. You've a long time to wait yetln Between sales-mostly credit-this young couple spent the rest of the day planning, hoping, and dreaming of a glorious future in spite of their present hardships. Nighttime came. Johnny insisted Martha lie down while he pre- . pared a special bedtime snack for her. The tea was cold: the toast was burnedg the jam that had been there before their purchase of the store-well, it was probably good in its day, and after picking out the spots of mold, it went down without too much effort-but to Martha, this snack was just about the nicest ever. Her Johnny had fixed it for her, and lovingly too. Her Johnny was happy, and so was shot Long after John's snores filled the room, Martha lay quietly awake. She was serene, peaceful, and deep in thought. She knew that it was a struggle to keep on top, and with an extra person added to the family-well, it wouldn't help the situation any-but they were both young, healthy, and ambitious, and now they really had something to look forward to. They would manage, somehow. Perhaps John's wealthy Uncle Vance would assist them some way. Of course they didn't expect or want charity, but a loan from an interested person would help. - Drowisly, Martha's mine concentrated on Uncle Vance Mason, whom she had never seen. During her courtship John had mentioned little of him, but according to John's Dad, who had passed away the previous winter, Uncle Vance was the black sheep of the family. Martha smiled faintly and said to herself, UI guess Dad Mason was over-prejudiced in his feelings toward his younger brother. I suppose the ambition of seeking higher standards of living than farm life could offer was the reason Dad Mason was embittered by Uncle Vance's getting away from it allin Certainly, Johnfs uncle had been successfull While visiting Cousin Ruth in New York City, hadn't she seen his picture among socialltes featured in the New York Times? Also, a noted columnist had mentioned his name in several of his articles, always connected with important doings. She assumed it was just another case of nCountry Boy Makes Good in Gityn, This type of publicity usually provided a natural resentment among country kinfolk. Hltls funny, though,U she thought, Hafter all these years that Uncle Vance should suddenly decide to contact his nephew, Jehn.H Such a wonderful letter that he had written just a week agol Evidently the glamour of the metropolitan city couldn't take the place of one's hometown. Included in the letter was his anticipation of visiting the young Masons on his completion of a certain large business deal in South America. nhow exciting,n Martha thought, Nsuch an important person being our guest, and a close relative, tooln She visualized the reaction of his appearance. The snooty Mrs. Van Dickenson might come down a notch if she happened to be present during his arrival, and would her eyes pop out when she saw the shiny new Cadillac Convertible that Uncle Vance sported each year! She could almost hear the nooh's' and Hah'sN of the young people who dropped in after school for candy bars. Chuckling to herself, she could see the marked impression that all this would make on the noesy widow Putman. Why, in less than an hour after such an event, the entire population of Littleton would know of Uncle Vanee's arrival through the Widow's tireless source, the grapevine, As Martha approached a state of semi-consciousness, her thoughts suddenly switched to her only living relative, her Uncle Horace Beasley, Such a contrast in characteristics-that ls, such a dif- fercncebetween her Uncle Horace and her mental picture of John's Uncle Vance. She knew that John had never felt too kindly toward her Uncle Horace. She should be very angry with her husband for calling him a Wfree loading so and son, but then, she couldnlt blame John's attitude wholly, On the few occasions that these two men had met, Uncle Horace's appearance had not been exactly pleasing to one who didn't understand that underneath his shabby attire and somewhat crude personality a heart of gold was encased. Uncle Horace had been a woodsman all his life except for periodical, mysterious absences from his one room cabin. This cabin was located in a remote area of the town which was known as the Highlands. He was satisfied that there were no nearby neighbors. Most of the townsfolk regarded him as a nuwcern, but if he was aware of the title, it apparently never bothered him. Her mcuher hadn't thought him a Nqueernl To her lovely mother Uncle Horace had been a hero, a sort of demiwgod, and the reason for this sisterly worship was told Martha when her mother felt that she was old enough to understand. uMartha, baby,N her mother began, Uno matter what people may think of your Uncle Horace, he is the dearest man in the world besides your father. I don't remember my father, dear, as he died before I was a year old. My mother outlived him but a very few years, and so it was my big brother who scolded me and praised me-who fed and clothed me properly. He was a tender nurse during all my childish ailments, a patient guide and teacher throughout my school days. How he managed all this, I'll never know, as his working hours in the woods were long and hard. I shall never forget the day I graduated. Through his belief in me I was able to be named Valedictorian of my class. My frock, that Horace presented to me the day before, was the prettiest gown ever to be worn in Littleton. when my turn came to speak, I looked down in the second row where my only relative was sitting. I didn't care that he wasn't as polished looking as the others around him. The pride and love that I saw on his face that day made up for any shabbiness that others mighg have noticed. It was then that the full realization of the magnificence of my brother came to me. I was so happy when he approved of your father's marrying me, and I'1l always remember the words he whispered to my bridegroom following the ceremony 'Be awful good to my little Janie, Michael,-or I shall personally see that you are tarred and featheredl' And you know, Martha, I think he would have done just that if our married life had failed. Your father and I have laughed often about this remark, yet we both appreciated the deep affection that prompted these words. I've told you this so that you may understand the goodness in your Uncle Horace. Regardless of his outside appearance, Martha, dear, never be ashamed of him-the beauty inside him is incomparableln Martha turned over on her side. Time was passing swiftly. In a few hours it would be time to arise again. Why must she reminisce tonight of all nights? Her mind wandered to her happy childhood days- happy, until that day of the tragedy. She had been seventeen and was eagerly making plans for her forthcoming entrance into business college It was a bright sunny morning that her parents bid her good-bye for their trip into Carrington, which was forty-five miles south of Littleton. It was here that the Trafton School of Business Adminis- tration was located, and the trip that her parents were taking was for the purpose of completing the final arrangements for her enrollment. There was a blind intersection-heavy traffic-a careless driver. It was all over in a minute, and during that brief time, Martha became an orphan. when her world had been shattered, it was Uncle Horace who had comforted her. He alone was responsible for her attending nTrafton'sn. All through her two year course she never saw him-not even at graduation-but her tuition and spending money was always taken care of. On Commencement Day she received as a gift from a foreign country. Yes, Uncle Horace was a uqueern in many ways, but he was also a dear. Finally deep slumber overcame her, and the next thing Martha knew or realized was the shrill ringing of the hateful old alarm clock. Days passed into weeks and weeks into months. It was the first of July, and Martha was tending store as John was in town for necessary supplies. During the early forenoons, trade was not rushing. In fact, trade was not rushing anytimet Several customers came and went, but except for a tourist, who purchased a package of cigarettes, all were Ncreditsn. Martha sighed. How could they continue to sell on this basis? Perhaps she and John had made a mistake in settling here. Was it fair to bring up a child in this environment? She dismissed this thought from her mind. These down-trodden, discouraged looking people were their people. She and John belonged here, they were needed here and they would never be happy anywhere else. Their child would feel the same way, tool Vigorously dusting the already spotless counter surfaces, she was startled by a blinding flash outside. An expensive model of car had stopped and from it stepped a handsome, well dressed man in his early fifties. Hoping that this was a cash customer with a desire for more purchases than cigarettes, Martha's naturally appealing smile took on added charm as she said, uMay I help you, Sir?n uPerhaps you can, my dear,u said the equally charming stranger. nl am looking for one Mr. John H. Mason.u nJohnny, my Johnny?u Martha gulped. HOh, I mean, sir, the Mr. Mason who owns this store?n, Martha had regained her poise. nYes, and please pardon me for not introducing myself, first. I am Vance Mason, Uncle of---say, you must be Johnny's little bride! why, of course you are! How stupid cf mel And, my dear, how has Johnny ever managed to keep such a lovely creature as you here in the sticks? Martha blushed at the flattery, but holding her head high, she said, WI love Littletonln and then hastily added, nOh, Uncle Vance- and may I call you Uncle?-we are so happy to see you! That is, I am and I'm sure that John will be. He's due home any minute.u Uncle Vance's easy manner assured her that the feeling was mutual, and the twinkle in his eyes was obvious as he replied, WMy dear, it's so nice to feel that you belong to someone. I can't ever recall being called uncle-and I just love itln John arrived, and talk was fluent among the three of them until Martha remembered her lack of hospitality. nUncle Vance, please come upstairs. You must be tired. I'll make you a cup of tea.n To which John added, uwhy not stay with us for awhile? We've an extra Bedroom, and though it may not be as elaborate as you're accus- tomed to, we'll do our best to make you comfortable.U Both Martha and John showed such sincerity in regard to this in- vitation, that Uncle Vance couldn't refuse. 'My children, I shall be delighted to be your guest. I had intended driving on to Lakeview tonight. I am scheduled to attend a board meeting there, but it can wait. I wouldn't miss the fun that I'm sure I'll have with you kids for all the board meetings in the world. A few days in Littleton will seem like living againln nBut, Uncle Vance, I thought you didn't like small townsn, said John. Uncle Vance smiled a bit sadly. HJohnny, once I was young and impetuous, I wanted money, fame, and the bright lights of a big city. Sure, I've realized all my youthful ambitions, but now-well, perhaps 'I'm getting a bit too sentimental-but'i1rFsort of homesick for Littleton By the way, Johnny, I'm deeply sorry for the misunderstanding that your Dad and I had. I wish that we could have come together again before- before Fred's passing.u His voice was a little unsteady but he quickly remedied this situation by squaring his shoulders and saying, NLet by- genes be by-gones, and from now on let's be gay! You two kids are all I've got in the world and I shall see that you shall want for nothingln Martha and John went to sleep happily that night. The next morning promised another bright, sunny day ahead. Remembering Uncle Vance's presence in their household, John cautiously tip-toed to the bathroom for his morning shave so their guest might not be disturbed. Imagine his surprise when he confronted the man himself, fully dressed, immaculate, exuding charm and carrying a tray laden with a delicious assortment of breakfast foods. nIt's for the little ladyn, Uncle Vance confessed. During his brief visit, Uncle Vance became the talk of the town. Everyone loved him. True, Mrs. Van Dickenson's eyes popped out at his graciousness. He made such an impression on her that she purchased articles that she would never use, secretly vowing to patronize the young Masons much more in the future. To the delight of the teen-agers he told them all about New York. He joked with them-even raced with them in his Convertible. He tactfully allowed them to win with their old jalopies because he was such a grand sport. 'Agatha Pratt Putman immediate1v'feII for this handsome gentleman, and strangely enough her admiration was returned. Although she continued to elaborate about the rest egg that had been left to her by her Udear, departed husbandn, Abner, Uncle Vance was responsible for a much prettier Agatha than John and Martha had ever known. The young couple gently chided him about the attention he was paying the Widow Putman during the long drives that they had taken each evening. He surprised them by saying, UI have become very fond of Agatha. She is a practical and intelligent woman and a welcome relief from the scatter- brained females of Broadwayln Both Martha and John had their own private thoughts. Could it be possible that Uncle Vance would be happy with a woman like Agatha? They just couldn't imagine such a match, but, then, wasn't it a saying that exact opposites were most suitable for each other? The day that Uncle Vance departed for Lakeview was a sad occasion for all Littleton. Most of the folks were gathered to see him off. He bid each one a fond farewell, assuring them that he would be back in a short time. He kissed Martha on the cheek, grasped John's hand firmly, and then turned to Agatha. Taking her hand in both of his, he said, HDon't forget what you promised me, my dear.n Agatha's voice, filled with emotion, replied, nNever, Vance, neverl Whatever the farewell group interpreted from these words that morning was never revealed. Just three days later, and just before the rush of the candy bar Nteen-agersu, Martha and John were pondering their finances. Some bills must be paid-some would have to wait. They were interrupted by the invasion of the young frv. There was an unusual form of hilarity among this group. Remembering the membership that she and John had enjoyed in this gang not too long ago and their amusement at the frustration of poor Mr. Claybotten, the former proprietor, she resolved to greet them in a carefree manner. Hwhat gives, my over-joyous ones?n Between attacks of giggles, one pimply faced youth replied, NBoy, you should have seen the character we just saw at Bank's Filling Stationln Before he could further these words, the whole gang burst into hysterical laughter. Continuing the conversation, a lisping, over- plump, fifteen year old girl said, nHe was a real gone NQueerN, all right,-bearded, seedy looking, and the Model T he was driving! Man, O, Man, that was something, and I mean but reallylu Suddenly, Martha grew tense. Why did this jive-talk description of a passer-by strike so near home? Before she could answer her own question, she was startled by a loud clang-clang, a louder bang, and a gradual decline of a thumpity-thump. She peered out of the store window. Her head was ringing from the renewed mirth of the boys and girls as they munched chocolate. The tall, gaunt figure approaching- the heavy gray beard, the slightly stooped shoulders from which hung the ill-fitting clothes-sure, she had known all along that there was only one person fitting this description: Uncle Horace, HER Uncle Horace! Casting a politely annoyed glance in the direction of her young traders, she walked to the entrance, and holding her head erect, she was greeted by, nwal, if it ain't my little Marthv, and a right purty little woman you've growed to be. I s'pose you know I'm your old Uncle Horaee.N Martha's color heightened from embarassment. Im ediately she was ashamed of her behavior, and affectionately embracing Uncle Horace, she said, NI'm very glad to see you, Uncle. It's been a long time.n H It sure has, gal, and, say, ain't you putting on a little weight?H Almost before the words had left his mouth, the old man could have bitten his tongue off. What ever had made him say that? He was aware of the suppressed snickering within the store, and he noticed the shadow of hurt that crossed Martha's face. Taking a deep breath to conceal his embarrassment, he added, UI reckon you got about the nicest trading post for miles about. Heard about your goodness to your customers. Shameful, the way Littleton has been let downl P'raps somebody will do something about it sometime.n Regaining her composure, Martha cried, UOh, Uncle Horace, it's just wonderful to see you againl I've told everyone how good you were to me after mother and dad went, and everyone knows what you did for mother. you for ---- Why, if I lived to be a hundred, I could never repay H e I NShucks,H said Uncle Horace, grufflv, HI.ain't out for flattery- and whatever I did for you, t'was the fact that you were my little Janie's daughterln As he said this, he turned away from Martha, and Martha, being her mother's daughter, realized that this rude gesture was to cover tears that cou1dn't be controlled. nUncle Horaceh, Martha said gently, Hplease stay with Johnny and me for awhile?n Johnny Nwell, entered before the old man could reply. if it isn't Uncle Horacel It's quite a coincidence that you and my Uncle Vance should pay us a visit in one short week.U Was there a note of sarcasm in Johnny's voice? Uncle Horace thought so, a cocksure, in the eye, visit of Mr Martha do you know maybe, but then he had always considered Martha's husband over-bearing young whippersnapner. Looking John squarely he remarked, NAnd I suppose you were much honored by the Vance Mason.n eagerly supplied this information. nOh, Uncle Horace, John's Uncle Vance?N Not waiting for a reply, she contin- ued, nHe's so handsome, so wonderful, and we're expecting him back shortly.n Uncle Horace's only comment was, HYes, I knowed him from a long way back.n Uncle Horace occupied the room that Uncle Vance had recently vacated. Although the townsfolk were getting used to his odd manner- isms, the definite contrast between the two relatives was obvious to everygne. I Several days later he offered to tend store alone. Martha wasn't feeling quite up to par, and John found it necessary to drive up to Carrington for added supplies. About lO:A.M., the Widow Putman blew ine nwell-as I live and breathe, if it isn't Horace Beasleyln, she said airily. Nwal, I reckon if you are alive, naturally, you ARE breathingn, replied Uncle Horace, just as airily. Flushing with anger, the Widow snapped, NI don't suppose that I should have expected any courtesy, whatsoever, from you! Forty years ago I discovered what a low-down, good-for-nothing you really were! Imagine, once upon a time I thought I was in love with you, you worm, with your lying tongue-pretending that you cared for me! You even set the date for our marriage, and then what did you do? You went into hiding, that's what you did-you just couldn't face matrimonv, you coward! Well, all I've got to say is that you did me a favor! It wasn't long before I was woo'd by the most righteous, and respect- able citizen of Littleton, Abner T. Putman, and he didn't run out on me, neither! Also, dear Abner left me a tidy little sum of Sl0,000, and that is more money than you ever saw or will ever hope to see, Horace Beasley! And for your information, I have been proposed to by the handsomest, wealthiest GENTLEMAN ever to set foot in Littleton! Now, clerk, I came here to trade, not to be insulted. My order includes a box of rye-wafers, a head of lettuce, one lean lamb chop and---oh, yes, a jar of that new Super-duper face lifting cream, and please hurry, clerk, I am a very busy woman, sociallyln nSuper-duper face lifting creamn, muttered Uncle Horace, nain't that just like an old bird, wanting--N nHorace!n, Agatha's face was purple. Ulf you said what I thought you said-U NKeep your shirt on Agathy, I was just singing a little ditty.n Completing her purchases, Agatha flounced out in the same manner with which she had blown in. A Uncle Horace realized that he must check his tongue in the future. He didn't want to be responsible for loss of trade in Martha's and John's store, but then Agatha's haughtiness had angered him. Funny how people changed. He remembered a starlit night forty years ago when he had walked Miss Agatha Pratt home from the annual church social. He had been so proud to escort the golden haired beauty, the belle of the town. Her preference for him over her many other admirers had made him feel as if he were on air. That was the night she had consented to be his bride. He hadn't expected her to be so fickle. It had been necessary for him to leave Littleton that follow- ing morning without an opportunity to explain his absence to her,- but, no, she had to go and marry Abner Putman just out of spite! An agonized moan reached Uncle Horace's ears. Bounding the stairs in antelope fashion, he found Martha in a crumpled heap at the foot of her bed. - NMarthy, baby, what's wrong?n, he said, after gathering her up in his arms. NNothingW, replied Martha weakly, trying to manage a smile, unothing much, Uncle Horace. I just felt a little faint while making the beds-silly of me to cause such a com otion. It's really very warm today, and I'm just fine, now, all set to clean up the kitchenlu She started to walk briskly across the room, but abruptly turned and staggered into the outstretched arms of her old uncle. The next thing that her foggy mind grasped was the touch of a gentle hand on her brow. She was lying in her bed, well covered, so comfortable. Could she be dreaming? Yes, she must be, because everything seemed so jumbled up. A lined, anxious face seemed to be bending over her, and in that face were two earnest blue eyes, eyes that were moist with concern. The picture faded. Her vision changed to a sense of feeling, a comfortable feeling that was taking place in her head-a sort of a soothing rhythm that seemed to say, Back and forthg back and forthn, and far, far off in the distance she could hear a low, kind voice saying, nGod bless mv little Janie's girln. A sigh of contentment escaped her lipsg then everything was serenely blank. The minutes passed as Uncle Horace continued to stroke Martha's forehead. He sat rigid as if the slightest jar might disturb her. As he sat there trance-like, he reached a decision. Tomorrow he would return to his one-room cabin in the Highlands. It wasn't that he didn't feel welcome hereg it was just the fact that an old codger like himself had no business interfering in the lives of young people. The pleasant memories of his visit with John and Martha would always be with him. That was something to be thankful for, wasn't it? He remembered John saying to him just before he left for town, nDon't forget our checker game tonight, Uncle Horace.n Yes, this checker game business had become a routine with him and John. The enjovment was mutual, he knew. Well, they would have their game tonight-their last game together. Never again would he think of Johnny as a whippersnapper. Aroused from his reverie by the return of John, he assured the young husband that his wife was perfectly all right, just a bit over- qgred-a natural occurence considering her condition. Uncle Horace set to work, finishing the household duties as best as he knew how, It didn't matter that he used one of Martha's best pillowcases as a dish-towelg he accomplished the purpose. Wanting to keep busy so as to forget what the next day would bring, he prepared his famous WHighland Stewn for the evening meal. He knew it would be good, because this was the one dish he excelled in, and it was always his little Janie's favorite meal. The next morning, as Uncle Horace was assembling his few belong- lngs together, Martha entered his room. Nwhy, Uncle Horace, what in the world are you doing?h Uncle Horace didn't trust himself to meet her gaze, but said, with his eyes cast downwards, NReckon it's about time for me to get rolling along.n nAren't-arenft you happy with us?h Martha's voice was trembling. 'Sure, I'm happy, but I can't live off you young folks any longer, taint fair.n - Uwhat lsn't fair, Uncle Horacen, said John who had failed to hear the first of the conversation. nOh, Johnnyn, cried Martha, nUncle plans to leave uslu and Martha burst out crying. nThere, there, Marthy, you are just naturally wrought up. You'll feel better by and by.H nNow, see here, Uncle Horace, you can't just walk into a home, get everyone loving you and-well-get people depending on you for fatherly advice and moral support, and then leave them to their problems, flatln John's voice held a note of anger, but one could see that he was fighting back the tears. For a long moment Uncle Horace couldn't speak. The lump in his throat wouldn't let him. These kids really wanted him there-they loved himl when he was able to use his vocal cords, he said, nGosh, I don't know just what to say. I've been awful happy here-but-I'm just an extra mouth to feed, and I ain't blind. I know you kids are having a rough time of making both ends meet, so---N nUncle Horace Beasleyln, both Martha and John broke in, nDon't you ever say a thing like that again! You're welcome to stay with us forever lf you can stand us.N They both embraced the old man whose tear-filled eyes and trembling lips proved his appreciation of their sincere love for him. This scene was interrupted by a loud commotion downstairs. Stormy words were in session. John, rushing to the source of turmoil, overheard this: nDon't you call MY Horace a leech-you two timing chisler, you widow-robbing no good, you two faced four flusher, you- you BUMIN uwhat goes on, Agatha?N, asked John, recognizing the sharp, hys- terical voice. Immediately, he saw against whom her accusations were hurled. uwhy, Uncle Vance, we thought you had forgotten usn, said John, still puzzled by what he had just heard. The Widow, who had regained her breath, continued, NJdhn Mason, you had better learn what I know about that-that thing before you gush over him anymore. Do you know what I almost did? Why, that black-sheeped Mason pretended to court me and be interested in my general welfare to the extent of investing the 310,000 that was left to me-promising to triple the amount in less than six months! It's a good thing that I am-well, that I am sort of an inquisitive person. Before I would hand over my entire cash security, I investigated-yes, I did, and what do you think I discovered? This-this Vance person was nothing but a racketeerl That's how he has made his living- preying on poor innocent widows and fleecing them in return. Board meeting in Lakeview-HMPH1 I found out he was wooing another prosper- ous widow, but she wasn't so dumb, any more than me, so he lost outln By this time Agatha was hissing like a frightened cat and about the color of an overcooked lobster. John looked at his Uncle, who seemed to lack the usual easy- going charm of his previous visit. nUncle Vance, this can't be trueln Nwhy of course not, dear boyn, said his Uncle nervously. nOh, no?n, retorted Agatha, nwell, if it's proof you want, I have enough on him right here in this manila envelope to jail him for the next hundred yearstn An expression of evil hatred and bitterness crossed Uncle Vance's face. nThis darned town and all its people can starve for all I care! I always hated Littleton, anyways, and everyone in it, including my brother,Fredln with this remark he made a dash for the exit, but he underestimated the Widow Putman's agility. Quick as a wink she made the door first and beat him vigorously over the head with her umbrella. NI just hope that your old head will ache now and forever for criticizing my Horacel Why, I wouldn't trade his little finger for you or all the would.be Romeos and gigolos in the whole worldin . Agatha shouted these words as the shiny Cadillac Convertible swung into action. This was the last of Uncle Vance, and John, in spite of the let down he had experienced, couldn't help but laugh at Agatha's out- burst of temper and her loyalty to Uncle Horace. HI guess Dad knew what he was talking about, all right.n Meanwhile, Martha and Uncle Horace, who had taken it all in from a crouching position on the stairs, presented themselves. nJohnny, I can't believe itlu, said Martha. uIt's true honey, I known, John replied, nand now let's forget there ever was such a person. We may be a little short of relatives, but Uncle Horace has made up for all those we lackln Uncle Horace, somewhat in a stupor, smiled at these words as much as to say that he would do his darndest, but his eyes were on the Widow Putman. nAgathyU, he said softly, Ndid you mean what you just said-about my little finger being so important?n Rather haughtily she replied, nYes, I did, Horace Beasley! I suppose you will gloat like an overstuffed toad, but I might as well admit, once and for all, you are the only man I ever loved, and I would marry you today if you proposed to mein ' Choking back the tears, Agatha was prepared for the sarcasm that would certainly follow, but the truth was out and she couldn't help it. The silence was stifling as the tall, gaunt, slightly stooped figure walked toward her. He placed his arm gently around her shoulders and gazed into her face tenderly. nAgathy, I hope you will never be sorry for those wordsmbecause this is Leap Year and you just proposed to me-and I ain't aiming to refuseln NOh, Horace, darling, we've finally come together after all these years-and don't you worry about finances that you haven't got, 'cause I got enough to make the both of us comfortable for the rest of our lives. Martha and John exchanged affectionate glances. It would seem that they would have not only a grandpa for their little one but a grandma, too. Uncle Horace suddenly broke away from his beloved. nSay, I ain't told you the good news yet, have I?n Turning to Martha's husband, he said, NJohn, remember how het up and excited you were t'other morning when you heard that the factory had been sold to an oil tycoon who promised steady work for all the folks in Littleton? Waln, said Uncle Horace, sort of bashful like, NI happen to be that old tycoonln The three of them stared in amazement-John, Martha, and Agatha. uYup, it's mel You see, when I was a young man, one of them polished city fellers came around and induced me to buy stock in an oil field in India. Not having much education, I fell for his line, and before I knowed it, I was sole owner of the Persian Oil Company- a fake outfit. Actually, there was such a place, and legally I owned it, but I found out later that it had never boasted one little drop of oil. Getting my dander up for being such a sucker, I worked my passageway to that there India country, Wal, I was plumb discouraged, but I was just stubborn enough to think that there might be jest a hair of hope. Them natives I hired, and me, too, worked like beavers. We found that hair: Oh, t'warnt much to brag about at first, but t'was enough for me to stake everything I had and borrow what I could to buy second-hand equipment for drilling. From time to time I visi- ted my property, and back 'bout twenty years ago, I realized I was making money. Today, I'm what you call a millionaire, and more, too. I ain't had much use for all that money up 'till now. I guess I'm just a sentimental old fool, but I did so want someone to love me just for myself, and I sure got my wishl I did buy that factory right after I came to visit you kids. In fact, the deed is in your name, Johnny. I wanted that my Janie's baby would be happy and I knowed that the grocery business warn't too good.

Agathy will help me plan, I know. And as I live and breathen, for a moment he wondered if Agatha would comment on this expressionnbut she didnft, being a woman in love-NI'm proud to say that a new life will come to Littleton.H Martha, her face radiant from the love, hope and expectation within her, said to herself silently, nYes, a new life WILL come to Littleton and what a wonderful world to bring this small but new life intein Jerry Blake 'Sh SPRING CONCERT The spring concert, presented on April 13 at 8:00 P. M. in Standish High Auditorium, was very well done, both in regard to its choral group singing and instrumentals. The chorus gave an excellent presentation of its vocal selections, which included uRoses of the Southn by Strauss, nThis is My Countryn by Jacobs Waring, UI Believen, uwonderful Copenhagenn, nSing Everyone, Singn, and nMorning Invitation Louis Fuchs was the guest artist and gave solos on both the cello and saxaphone. The program was diversified by several solos and a double trio number. Mildred Perkins gave a lovely Barbara Chick and Carl Mores both gave exceptionally well done. Although not enjoyed giving the performance and the rendition of uTenderlyn. piano solos, which were many people attended, we senior class added the proceeds from the concert to its fund for the trip to New York. Y! MWHF I S H I N G was About this time of year nearly every body gets the urge to go fishingg whether they live in a large city or in the country, all are affected the same way. You donft need to have a whole tackle box full of plugs and flies with split bamboo pole and spinner reel to use them on, for an alder sapling or a cheaper steel rod will satisfy the requirements, while using worms for bait can bring the fisherman just as much luck as ornate plugs or flies. The fact that fish are always one jump ahead of the fisherman makes fishing so interesting, but by experience and knowledge formerly learned, the nimrod can usually manage to get a fair string, He will want to fish what are called the nbreaksn, whether they be in brooks, rivers, or lakes. These Ubreaksn are places where there is a contrast in the water, perhaps where the eel grass gives way to clear water, where the current smooths out to a calm, where deep water stops and shallow begins, or even where dark bottom and sandy bottom meet. He must remember to walk very carefully along the bank, for, although the fish can't see him, they can feel the vibrations of each foot- step unless it is very soft. Even with the use of all of his tricks and secret methods, the nimrod may still not have caught any fish, but he isnft too discouraged, for he has been in nMom Nature'sn own house and seen some of her shy children. Perhaps as he rounded the bend in the river, there stood a beautiful doe with her shaky, spotted, newly born fawn, or perhaps a muskrat was building its house at the edge of the bank. In the small brook he just left perhaps he saw a wood duck giving her fuzzy brown ducklings their first swimming lessons, or a mother patridge showing her poults how to hide so that hawks and owls canft find them. what could be cuter than seeing a mother coon or fox with her new born pups playing in the sunlight much the same as children do? Yes, we are in the woods where the scent of the pine and fir balsom perfumes the air and acts like a vigorous tonic, making us want to go farther and farther-for suddenly we don't feel bad at not having caught any fish. Here is something that must be enjoyed anyway. That is why fishing is fun. Jack Foster 'Sh iHH5-!H'r4HI-EHS' 45'-35-4?-ZHHHHC-ii-SHI' -25-!H?iZ'iHHHHi- 2 I M WA 4,3 Q 6? ...S eil?

Guest ZZZTHE ssmion PLAYZQZZ The senior play took place on the twenty-second and twenty- third of October at the high school. Previously, since the begin- ning of school, Mrs. Cruise had patiently coached the casts. Again this year they had three-one act plays, the names of which were One Happy Family, Accent on Revengg, and Hillbilly Qi- In Qng Qgppy Family Erlon Marean and Elton Clark were the two brothers who made the family not such a happy one, while Mildred Perkins was the long-suffering older sister who didn't dare bring her boyfriends home to meet the family--with reason, we might add. With her catty remarks Diane Stack in Accent gg Revenge made things difficult for everyone. The too-popular Beverly Miner had boy-troubles. Imagine first having two dates to the dance and then having none! The scene was changed drastically in Hillbilly Hi-Jinks. It is switched to the mountain cabin of sheriff Jupe Maxwell CJack Foster! who is having a spat with his wife, Elviry lRobertaMBrownl. June Boulter is a would be Sultry Miss Pliney, who thinks every man who sees her falls madly in love with her.

He has led us through many class meetings with his sharp wit and good ideas. All who know him like and admire his common sense and character. Vice President Eugene Smith Gene is our moral conscience, more honest than the days are long in an Alaskan summer. He is an authority on wildlife and nature--a great asset to our class. Secretary Gail Ashley A ready smile is her key to popularity. We can't do without her sunny smile on a stormy day. She has been a faithful recorder of our activities and an industrious worker in compiling the year book. Treasurer Donna Douglas Donna, our tax collector, has a hard time getting dues out of class misers, but her high spirits charm us--just look at typing classl Student Council Donald Perkins Don is a liberal-minded thinker. He builds his theories on facts and sound reasoning. You may see his eyes light up most any seventh period before a meeting--no bookkeeping, or a coming debate??? Carl Mores Carl is the musician of the class. Among his several specialties are basketball, baseball, politics, and lecturing. He is also a rabid baseball fan. He is our oldest representative to the Student Council. Secretary-Treasurer of the Student Council Priscilla Foster Everyone likes Priscilla, and for a very good reason! We all agree that the job of secretary-treasurer of the Student Council is a tremendous one that needs two ambitious students, but what if there is only one provided that meets the requirements? Well, they chose Priscilla, and she not only did the job well, but continued to help others with their trivial problems and do numerous other errands for the benefit of the high school. She not only deserves a salute from the junior class but also from the entire high school. JUNIOR PRIZE SPEAKING ' Q all no 1: Y : It isn't o bad after all. This was the opinion of the juniors who participated in prize speaking--after it was all ' overt After two preliminary eliminations, judged by the teachers and townspeople respectively, there were eight contestants remaining in the finals. These were as follows: Priscilla Foster, Gail Ashley, Elaine Melanson, Rita warren, and Connie Gray for the girls: Carl Mores, Eugene Smith, and Rodney Smith represented the boys. On the Friday evening before Thanksgiving we all arrived, shaking, in our Sunday best. Priscilla Foster, with her rendition of nThe Littlest Angel,u was awarded first prize, while Carl Mores won first prize for the boys with NTWQ Black Crows . Gail Ashley won second prize with Honest Turn Blue. Music was supplied by the girls'glee club, under the supervision of Mrs. Ida Rich. The juniors wish to thank Mrs. Hadleck, Mrs. McConnell, Mrs. Logan, Mr. Johnson, and Mr. Dolloff for their patience in coaching us. Constance Gray 'SS 221222222122 THE CELESTIAL SURGEON If I have faltered more or less In my great task of happiness, If I have moved among my race And shown no shining morning face: If beams from happy human eyes Have moved me notg if morning skies, Books, and my food, and summer rain Knocked on my sullen heart in vain:- Lord, thy most pointed pleasure take And stab my spirit broad awake.

He is always lauwhing, teasing, and his attitude explains why he is a friend to everyone. Vernon's plan for the future is to be a mechanic. We hope your plans work out, Vern. Vice President David Bustin David was chosen to fill the position of Vice President for the second time, and has done very well in the role. His ambition is to be a ditch-digger. Look out for those blisters, Dave! Secretary Eleanor Varney The ever-nopular Tleanor was chosen to be our secretary this year and has done a very good service. She was one of the very faithful cheerleaders, who always adds more nep to our basketball games. Eleanor nlans to be a farmer. Good luck with the planting, El! Treasurer Beverly Eoothby Beverly, who is very careful about what she buys, was chosen to be our class treasurer. She has done a very good job in keeping the books up to date ond adding suqfestidns as to how the class can raise more money. Bevfs ambition is to be a teacher. Don't make them study too hard, Bev. Student Council B111 Austin Q Roland Qtultz Tlwland, who is always the life of the class, was chosen to repre- sent our class this year. We think Roland and Bill have done an excel lent job. The best to you both in the years to come. :L 1' J' -nun -u sf :uma 1-ann. 4. .. ix km.. .rn 91' SOPHOMORE FUND RAISING The sophomore class has supplemented its class fund in various ways this year. Class members have served faithfully as purveyors of ice cream during recess and lunch periods. During basketball season, sophomores sold pencils bearing the basketball schedule and realized a tidy profit from the enterprise. Capitalizing on the popular craze for rollerskating at Standish High, the sophomores also gave a rollerskating party at Wildwood, Steep Falls, in May and another in June. The class feels well satisfied with its efforts and hopes to employ its Yankee shrewdness and industry to augment its financial status even more substantially next year, so that in 1956, as seniors, it may have ample funds to defray the expense of its class trip. A BAG OF TOOLS Isn't it strange ' That princes and kings, And clowns that caper In sawdust rings, And common people Like you and me Are builders for eternity? Each is given a bag of tools, A shapeless mass, A book of rules: And each must make- Ere life is flown- A stumbling block Or a steppingstone. R. L.

Vice President Scott Campbell Scott is capable of taking over the meeting in case Bill is away. You can usually count on him if you want new ideas. Secretary Dana wescott Dana kept the minutes of our meetings very well, even though we didn't have many meetings. Treasurer David Feeney Dave is one with whom your money is safe. He has been told that he has a very honest-looking face. Student Council Richard Brown we elected Dick as our first Student Council representative, and we think he has done a very good job. 5 :snowman nance:-can-can nscnunpuumaqsulssdg RESULTS AND ROSES The man who wants a garden fair, Or small or very big, with flowers growing here and there, Must bend his back and dig.

Guest FRESHMEN RECEPTION Shortly after we became a part of the student body of Standish High, that event took place which we had so discussed and anticipated, the Freshmen Reception. About the fourth week of school the Sophomores announced what we were to do and say. For a week we had to shlne the shoes of the upper classmen. In addition we were required to say this little ditty: nI'm to small to clap, clap, clap, shuffle, shuffle, shuffle, tan, tan, tan, But isn't it fun to do the boogie woop1e?N We griued a lot about having to perform these actions, but we really had a lot of fun. Then came Friday. That was the day we had to dress UD. The girls had to wear men's pants, wrong sideout and back side tog a man's shirt beck side top a nylon stocking and a man's shoe: p man's stocking and one of our own shoes: tes bags for ear rings and an onion around their necks. Guess what? Yes, you guessed it. We had Phys. Ed. that day. The boys had to wear a woman's skirt and blouse, tea bags for ear rlnas, the front of their heir arrayed in pin curls or ribbons, nylons and their own shoes, and carry a doll. That night the Sophomores introduced a new practice. At Freshmen Reception the Sophomores entertained the Freshmen instead of vice versa. David Bustin was master of ceremonies. Mr. Stuart and three other men played so we could dance. They had a sax, a piano, a banjo, and drums. Claudia Kutcher and Maureen Burnham sang a duetg Sylvia West sang a solo,--both very pleasing performances, while Scott Campbell played his sax. The Sophomores served us cider and doughnuts for refreshments Around ten thirty we broke up. The Freshmen were happy to think it was all over and we want to thank the Sophomores for giving us such a nice time. -an-nnunnnusna QQQQUUHQUCQQQQQC unuuunsa- QQ -v 'i g:f'z - dh. hawk MMM? - :?.'1'f.,1,. 5.-v?L:'w 3E'.3E.5W1?l T....10N Q . On September 18, 1953 the sophomore class extended the tradi- tional welcome to the freshman class at the Freshman Reception, M ' held at the nigh school at 7230 P. M. In a radical departure from the customary initiation procedures the sophomores abandoned pranks in favor of entertainment. . The program consisted of asnng by Maureen Burnham and Claudiav Kutcher, a dance by Charlotte Miner, a saxaphone selection by Scott Campbell, and a song by Sylvia west. I ' The program was followed by a dance, at which the music was pr furnished by UChickN Stuart and his orchestra. Refreshments of doughnuts and cider were served. All in all, Freshman Reception turned out to be a success, but I mustn't neglect to mention those upon whom it depended, the com- mittees. They are as follows: Decorations: Refreshments: Maureen Burnham Rochelle Roche Claudia Kutcher Judy Stack Richard Jones Sylvia west Committee in Charge: Bill Austin Bev Boothby David Bustin I would like to extend sincere thanks to Mrs. Hadlock, Mrs. Cruise, and Mrs. Logan for their help from all the Sophomore class. We of the sophomore class hope the innovation gave as much pleasure to the freshman class as it did to their hosts.

That decided that hefd better get off to the time up to bat he hit a triple and thought it off with another in the fifth inning. t these certainly helped in bringing another . S. CHEERLEADING As the custom has been every year the Student Council chose the cheerleaders last fall. In October we started having practices in the gym for all who were interested in trying out. These continued for a few days until eight girls were selected to try out for the final rally. Finally came the big day when the girls were to go before the Student Council in the auditorium. They performed such cheers as WVictoryW, WStandish the Long Way,0 and HFightU. They all tried hard and it was difficult to decide who were the best. Finally the dicision was made. Mabelle Woodbrey, Mildred Perkins, Eleanor Varney and myself were already on the team, therefore, only two more were needed. The girls chosen were Millicent MacGrath and Charlotta Miner. Mildred Perkins was selected to be head cheerleader. Now came the task of finding new cheers and working them out. We made up some cheers, found numerous others in books and used many of our regular ones. New cheers were added and many of the older ones were discarded. A song for the lakers was composed and we sang that as we marched up the floor with garnet and white streamers. After much deliberating about uniforms, we decided on culots, white blouses, and garnet jerkins with Lakettes written on the back in white. They looked quite nice on the floor and most everyone seemed to like them. When the night of the first game arrived, we were a bit nervous on the floor and made some mistakes, however, as the year progressed, we did better and we enjoyed cheerleading for the team. When the letters were awarded Millicent MacGrath and Charlotte Miner were the only ones who received letters this year. The rest of us received ours last yearg however, we did receive gold bars to put on them. We were well satisfied. Rita Warren '55 0y5, lain First Row: V. Morton, D. Sawyer. Captain: W. Yankowsky, C.

Basketball 1953-195A The basketball team certainly did a wonderful job this year, and I know that the school is very proud of the team and of our coach, Mr. Johnson. They not only tied for first place in the Western Division Triple C with Freeport but also went on to win the State Western Class S Tournament. The boys representating the team this year were Donald lHomerI Sawyer? Marvin Ewing and Robert Varney for the seniorsg Carl Moresy David Langley, Billy Yankowsky and Lesley Hanscom for the juniorsg Billy Austin, Vernon Morton and David Bustin for the sophomoresg Bobby Sanborn and David Feeney for the freshmen.

F The next night we played a tough Oxford combine who had beaten top-seeded Stratton in the quarter-finals. They gave us a good battle, but at the final whistle the score was 6h to A5 in our favon In the final game Saturday night we were to play Porter of Kezar Falls, whom we had beaten twice previously in 3C play. It was a very exciting game as the Portermen were a determined group, who wanted very much to take home the plaque proclaiming them Western Maine chamoionsg however, thanks to our boys, their hope deserted them in the bth quarter and we won 63 to 38. Capt. DonlHomerJSawyer and Carl Mores were consistent in the scoring department with Sawyer winning the Vinnal Trophy for the outstanding player of the Class S Tournament. We were very jubilant and proud as our equally happy coach, Mr. Johnson, received the championship plaque. One more opponent lay between us and the state championship, this was a school from eastern Maine called Bridgewater Classical Academy. On Saturday night, March 6, we entered the Waterville Community Building with high hopes for the state championship. We played a very good team and fought right down to the final whistle but ended upon the short end of a A5 to L3 score. Even though we lost, we were still very proud of our boys. The seniors want to wish next year's team lots of luck and hope that you win the championship. Mabelle Woodbrey 'SL David Bustin '56 is 24 vi 0 'ffl f' 3 ' . yg 4 K S Q.

He set out through the jungle, looking for trouble. He grabbed a tiger, WWho is king of the jungle?W he demanded, WYou, O Mighty One,W answered the Tiger. He grabbed a gorilla and demanded, WWho is the king around here?W WYou, O Mighty Leo,N replied the gorilla. Then he met an elephant, stopped him, and demanded, Nwho is the boss of this jungle?W The elephant picked Leo up with his trunk, whirled him through the air a few times, and banged him against a tree.

Union Mutual-Portland Logan Painting Company Married--Mrs. Donald Miner Home Our Lady of Mercy College Eastern Nazerine College-Boston United States Marine Corps Northeastern Business College Mercy Hospital School of Nursing working for Almon Marean MANY YEARS AGO Years ago when our grandparents were young, Standish was a town that teemed with activity. There used to be dancing on the pier and boat rides on the famous Songo. People came from miles around to ride on the beautiful boat that operated on Sebago Lake. There used to be located in Richville what might be called a town within a town, known as Smith Mills. It consisted of a theatre, dance hall, tenement houses, and a factory run by the Diamond Match Company, as well as many other buildings. Surprising as it may seem, there used to be a coat shop which at one time employed well over five hundred workers. when people went to church in those days, they did not sit in pews such as those to which we are accustomed. Instead they had - for seats, box-shaped pews which may still be seen in the Old Red Church. Even further back into the years we can go, to the days of the Civil war, when people were afraid that Portland might be captured. Apprehensively they withdrew their money from the banks and brought it to the Merit House in Standish Village. Strong locks were put on the windows where they still remain. Recently cut down were some ancient trees known as the Lexing- ton Elms, which were planted during the Revolutionary War. when anyone rides through the quiet little town of Standish today, he may be tempted to think, nOh, how dullln Such a person is not aware that many years ago our forefathers had enough excitement here to last to this very day.
