A Tree Above the timbered woodland The forest monarch stood. Its leaves were of a golden hue, Its trunk, the toughest wood. For long, long years it had stood there, Guarding the wooded hill, When a band of woodsmen cut it down And hauled it away to the mill. The whole forest mourned its passing With many a shudder and sigh, For they knew they would never see again A tree which stood so high. Richard Nash ,50 By Moonlight The stars twinkle down on the sleeping town. Snow glistens on the roof-tops and trees, The moon shines brightly through the sky, And lo! Fairies dance with the breeze. To and fro the fairies go Tripping gaily through the snow The moon sends down its mellow ray, To guide the fairies while at play. The town in peaceful slumber dwells As wee folk pirouette in dells And on the moon-bright slopes-but day Sends a golden haze from far away. The fairies see the light, and soon Trip gaily off thru the fallen snow. But back theyill come, 'neath the mellow moon Pussy Willows In the spring, the pussy willows offer Their tufts of ermine fluff, And wait gracefully for someone to Spy their woodland treasure. Elwell Shepard '51 Winter When icicles hang from the trees And waterls like ice in the well, When snow fills the sky and our roads, We know that winter is here! Patsy Fifield '50 A Ship At Sea Out on the ocean blue, Over the waves so deep, Sailed a sturdy boat and crew A brave new land to seek. Storm clouds in the sky- In this tossing, stormy scene Forecast a blow nearby, The waves are lashing green! The crew with fear is stirred, Their captain heeds them not- Sail onl his only word- Thus all new alandsi' are sought. Lorraine Morey '51 The Sky The moon is held on a string at night, T0 Play Where Soft Sea breezes blow- Ahd is pulled to earth by the hand of light Barbara Bartlett '51 Ground Swell Restlessly, the liquid mountains roll on to the shore, To be dashed in foam asunder, with a cease- less roar. Elwell Shepard '51 Mary Bray '53 The Brook The contented brook Skips lightly over the rocks, Enchanting the forest With its magic melody. Rose Stinson '53

ATHLETICS L to R: MacKay, Williams, Nash, A. Holland, Spofford, W Shepard. Baseball Last spring Coach Thurlow Pitts had an extra fine team. They won the H. C. S. S. A. League championship and were undefeated. This was the second time in three years that the baseball trophy had been won by Stoning- ton. The Rocketsv went into the State Base- ball Tournament for Mn and Sv schools. Before a huge crowd at Stonington last Mem- orial Day they defeated Pemetic High of Southwest Harbor 11-10, coming from behind in the last inning. The second tournament game was played with Shead Memorial High of Eastport at Ellsworth. After holding a 7-2 lead we lost finally 15-10. Our schedule was as follows: Q' denotes home gamesl May 4 Stonington 5, Blue Hill 1 10 'Stonington 16, Brooksville 14 13 Stonington 4, Penobscot 1 17 'Stonington 7, Penobscot 1 24 Stonington 10, Brooksville 5 30 'Stonington 11, Pemetic 10 Iune 2 Stonington 10, Eastport 15 By graduation we lost some fine players in Raymond Crozier, Erwyn Eaton, Richard Stanley, and Chester Carter. Last fall Wayne Ciomei played first, Sidney Cross shortstop, and Wayne SpoHord went into the outfield. We lost to the locals and Vinalhaven but had hopes for this spring as we still had our fine battery of Dick Nash and Randall VVelch. But Randall developed a bad sore arm this spring and could pitch less than 5 innings. We won 1 game, lost 5 in the League, finish- ing last. However, Norman Wood got some valuable experience pitching, and VVally Webb and Richard Spencer broke into the infield at the close of the season. We lose Dick Nash by graduation. He batted .471 this year and will be hard to re- place.
