To the Class of 1952: You have lived in a time of major international crises, starting with the depression of the early 1930's which gave way to World War II. During your high school years you have lived in a period of so-called cold war. With one quick glance at these events it is easy to perceive the forces of evil which have brought about these crises, namely, greed, selfishness, materialistic arms, and the inhuman desire to impose the will of a few men upon the majority. As young citizens, you will not be asked to cure the ills of the world overnight. However, you should be a responsible citizen taking an active part in public affairs. You should form opinions based on conscientious thought rather than on emotion. You should respect the rights of the minor- ity while accepting the right of the majority to rule. You should take pride in your work and be willing to do your job well. Having done these things, you will have made your contribution towards creating a better world. Your education has given you ideas and experiences which will aid you in your adjustment to adult life. With this background, I am sure each of you will look forward to many years of happiness and success. JOHN C. MACLEOD Page Two THE MUSSUL-HNSQUIT FACULTY Left to right: Bailey.

The person responsible for the wel- come transformation is Miss Bailey, our commercial teacher. Under her guidance many students have learned something about the finer pointsi' of typing, and, because of this, have been able to pub- lish the school paper utoute de suitev!

Approximately thirty became charter members of the newly organized drama- tics club, The Footlightersv. On October 1, the dramatics club con- ducted its first monthly meeting, at which time the following oilicers were elected for the year: President Clyde Pingree Vice President Francis Noble Secretary and Treasurer Carla Hoepner Pcrge Fifteen By participating in the various activities, 3-Act plays, 1-Act plays, Contest Plays, and Public Speaking, one may accumulate the required iifteen points to be eligible to receive a letter.

The cast included: Lillian Cook Blaine Moody Lewis Damon Francis Noble THE MHSSUL UNSQUIT g ,M pw Joanne Haines juanita Noble Lloyd Walker Margaret Skillings Marshall Stevens played a prominent role as the ghost.

The judges selec- lion of the evening was The Opening of A Door , which reappeared March 18, in the Strong Division of the preliminary Bowdoin-State elimination contest. Competition was even more keen as we presented our version of The Opening of A Doorv, against representatives from Phil- lips, Skowhegan, and Rangeley. Although Skowheganis play was acclaim- ed the best of the evening by the judge, two members of our cast, Margaret Skill- ings and Clyde Pingree, were praised by the judge for their excellent performances as Mrs. Parrish and Owen Bennett in The Opening of A Door . As the yearbook goes to press, we plan to enter a play in the County Contest scheduled for April 30, at Farmington. Our coach, Mrs. Allen, has devoted much time and energy in reviving interest in dramatics and public speaking. Her re- provals have always been given in the form of suggestions. 'We give her our Whole-hearted thanks. Page Sixteen THE MUSSUL UNSQUIT PUBLIC SPEAKING If the air is lilled with the strange mur- murs of harassed students, there is no cause for alarm. The students are not going crazyg theyre only studying their public speeches. Two years ago interest in public speak- ing was revived on a compulsory basis after a lapse of several years. This spring all candidates for public speaking were selec- ted strictly on a volunteer basis. The results were rewarding--nineteen members of the dramatics club obtained their selections early in March in prepara- tion for the elimination rounds conducted during assembly in the new gym on March 24 and 25. The nineteen volunteers were: H. Bates B. Moody B. Savage L. Damon I. Newkom G. Skillings M. Eustis Noble Toothaker I. Haines B. Peary C. Tyler C. Hoepner C. Pingree M. Skillings A. Huff Pingree I.

BAND AND ORCHESTRA The song Birth of the Bluesv could, with modifications, well be applied to S. H. S. this year. Our school band and orchestra has been reorganized. Under the able direction of Mrs. Hilda Steward it has developed into a com- mendable organization. The band has furnished music at several school plays, including the Dramatic Clubis S-Act Play Sp0oks 'n Spasmsv and the Strong division of the State 1-Act Play Contest. It has also played at several of the local basketball games. CHEERLEADERS In the fall 13 high school girls went out for cheerleading. Out of this group, 7 were finally picked to do the cheering for the 1951-52 basketball season. At the head of the apeppyn squad was, Joanne Haines, a junior. The other cheer- leaders came from the junior, Sophomore, and Freshmen classes and are as follows: Juanita Noble 53', Carla Hoepner 54,' jean Toothaker 55v CorrineTyler 55,' Mary Anne Reynolds 55 Margaret Eustis 55 During the season the girls sold hot clogs at the home games to pay for new skirts which they selected at the beginning of the season. Throughout the season the girls worked out several new and peppy cheers. The girls certainly did their duty to boost the cheering for the boys at all the games. Q73 Page Nineteen I A'--A--..,' mu.

THE MUSSUL UNSQUIT PASSING EVENTS OF A YEAR THAT HAS GONE School opened in September in the new school building - an event long looked forward to by many. How strange it seem- ed to find the Main Room gone, and the Home Roomi' system prevailing. With the addition of two new courses, Coin- mercial and Industrial Arts, we found many new subjects offered for our choos- THE MAGAZINE Early in the fall, our old friend Mr. Hovis arrived at school to start us in on our annual magazine campaign. With Harry Allen and Francis Noble in charge, we conducted ing. Soon, however, we were oriented in the new system, all, that is, except the Eighth Graders who wandered in and out of the wrong rooms for days on end! We mention a few school events here which have not been spoken of elsewhere in this book. CAMPAIGN a very successful campaign making a good profit for the school and winning many prizes for the outstanding salesmen. IUNIOR PROM On the 14th of March the Juniors held the annual Junior Prom in the school gym- nasium with the music of Keef's orchestra. Colored spotlights flooded the gym and a good crowd seemed to enjoy the evening. The affair was open to adults only. The Juniors deserve much credit for a very suc- cessful evening. THE SMALL SCHOOLS INVITATIONAL TOURNEY Early in March, Strong was host to a small schools invitational basketball tour- ney, which created much interest among the townspeople. Six schools accepted our invitation. On the first night of the tourna- ment, Kingfleld defeated Dixfield, and New Sharon retired Canton as the prelim- inaries got underway. On the next night, Strong was defeated by Kingfield, and New Sharon upset by Stratton. On the final evening, Kingfield defeated Stratton to take the first place trophy, with Stratton taking second. Strong won the consolation game from New Sharon. In addition to the trophies given to the winning teams, individual cups given for good sportsmanship were awarded to a player from each team as follows: Canton: Dixfield: Neil Stinneford New Sharon: Al Gosselin Kingfieldz Robert Tufts Stratton: Gordon York Strong: Captain Harry Allen We feel that our little tourney was a success, and hope to see more of its kind next year. We wish to express our thanks to the citizens of the town who were in- terested enough to donate the trophies and cups. D. A. R. CANDIDATE Our Margaret Skillings was selected by combined vote of the Senior Class and the Faculty for the D. A. R. Candidate from Strong. The candidate is selected for Page Twenty-One outstanding all around good citizenship. Margaret was entertained along with other Franklin County school candidates at Farmington in March. 4 1,1 - THE Mussm. IINSQUIT VVINNER OF THE REGIONAL AWARD Francis Noble Ir. Class of ,52 won the regional award in auto mechanics in the southern division of Maine at Edward Little High School on Friday, March 28. He will go to Augusta to compete in the state contest.

If Francis is chosen top apprentice, judged by his trade knowledge and in- terest, he will get a scholarship at the In- ternational Correspondence Course, the Governor's award, and a trophy for the school. CONTEST EVENTS Several county contests were held in our new gymnasium during the year. The county speaking contest on April 2nd, and the district Spelling Contest on April 4th, in addition to the play contest and the basketball tourney already mentioned, were some of the most important. COMING EVENTS As the year book goes to press, we issue a list of events which have been set for the remaining weeks of the school year: April 11-Spring vacation begins. Seniors go on class trip. April 30-County one-act play contest at Farmington. April 26-State speaking contest, Univer- sity of Maine. May 19-Career Day at Farmington. june I-6-Graduation Week. C5,fD Page Twenty-Three fI'HE MUSSUL UNSQUIT A BACKWARD CLAN CE We, as Seniors, have had an unusual opportunity this year. It has been our privi- lege to place our names as the first to have actually attended and graduated from the new school. Adequately lighted rooms and pleasant surroundings have heightened our studies and made them more interesting. For the first time, Commercial and In- dustrial Arts courses have been offered. Typing, shorthand, and bookkeeping are included in the Commercial course and Shop Practice in wood working and me- chanics provides practical knowledge for Industrial Arts students. A new gym and auditorium has become the center of basketball games, socials, dances, and various other activities, civic as well as school. It has been a full and interesting year. The saying A building does not make a school is very true. But without a build- ing a school could not exist, and the many things and experiences associated with it could never have been. High schools have been created mainly for educational pur- poses and this is their chief value. But when a person thinks back over their high school years, rather than thinking of geo- metry and algebra, English and French, their memory many times drifts to thoughts of those magic years when the biggest problem in life was making an A or a B , when the greatest thrill in life was winning a basketball or baseball game, when the most important thing in life was being popular, when the most wonderful, most satisfying thing in life was gathering with your friends at the drugstore, or most anywhere, and talking and laughing, shar- ing your problems and enjoyments and act- ing as serious or foolish as you felt on the spur of the moment. Because of the knowledge we have gain- ed and the fun we have had - we look over our first year, our Senior year, in the new school and place its memories in our scrapbook of once-lived experiences.

The animal Round Robin was held this year at Strong with all of the North Frank- lin County teams participating. Strong boys practiced hard in this new gym to get accustomed to a big floor but lound that time ran out on them too fast. Facing a rugged schedule, the boys had tough luck for the first eight games, but came up with a win from the Farmington Teachers college jV's and then they got started and played better ball. The boys lost a tough one to Stratton. The play-off at Kingfield - Strong was left out of the Franklin County tournament, but got into the Small Schools Tournament which was held here in Strong's gym. Strong won consolation. H. Allen won a good sports- manship award. This ended a tough season. The boys all look forward to a better year next year and hope to go places. This year we lose Harry Allen, Lewis Damon, Clar- ence Mitchell and Lloyd Walker by gradu- ation. Their places will be hard to fill and their skill will be missed on the court.

THE MUSSUL UNSQUIT WINNING ESSAYS IN CONTEST ON HUNTING SAFETY Winning essays in the hunting safety contest conducted among Strong school pupils by the Porter Lake F ish and Game Association are as follows: HUNTING: SPORT on MAN-SLAUGHTER It was thirteen-year-old Tommy's first day of hunting and, as he stepped cautious- ly through the brush, visions of big deer fled through his mind. His father had taught him to shoot a gun and he was getting so he was a pretty good shot. He and his dad had started out early that morning in quest of a big buck that they knew stayed around this particular vicinity. His father was a little ways behind him in the woods, following the fresh trail of a deer. Tommy was stationed at one of the deer trails where the deer were likely to cross. He was getting a little bored with this inactivity until suddenly he heard a sound behind him. He whirled around and saw the bushes move slightly. There was the chance he'd been waiting for! Now he could go home and brag about his deer that he was about to shoot. He pulled up his gun, aimed quick- ly, and fired. There was a muffled groan, a slight stirring, and then silence. Tommy. in his excitement, mshed forward like a small boy running for a toy. He pushed open the bushes and stopped, transfixed in his steps. The sight he beheld made him cry in horror. For there on the ground, lying motionless with a small hole gaping open in his forehead, was his father! Hunters, even though the characters in this story were fictitious, it is a startling example of the innocent victims who have been unmercifully shot down by careless hunters each year. In 1950, eight hundred and thirty-two persons were either killed or injured. Of these, the chief reasons were unintentional discharge of the Hre- arms, being unseen at the time of the ac- cident, being mistaken for game by the shooter, and being hit by excited shooters swinging on game. All of these tragedies could have been averted. In Tommy,s case it was inexperience, with carelessness on his father's part for not having taught his son hunting safety. With the more ex- perienced hunters, it is stumbling while carrying a loaded gun, crossing a fence, catching the trigger in the brush, and hunting with a cocked gun. If every hunter were not allowed in the woods until he had the safety know-howv, accidental shootings could easily be slash- ed in half. Of course, that would be a very hard thing to do. But, on the other hand, if every would-be hunter checked himself on all the safety points .and followed the rules carefully, tragedies would be ef- fectively changed. The hunter who doesn't know how to be safe in the woods is a menace to himself and to everybody else with whom he comes in contact. In the case of liquor, the old automobile axiom could be used with a slightly different twist - If you hunt, don't drink, if you drink, don't hunt. More and more the grave problem of mistaking a man for a deer confronts us. Unless steps are taken to prevent this calamity it will probably steadily increase. Everybody knows that a red cap and jacket are essential for hunting. But everybody doesn,t know how to distinguish a man from a deer. The best way is to make sure you know exactly what the object is be- fore you shoot. If people would do this, there would be no mistake. So if you are going hunting, please take careful steps, to be sure you know what you're doing and why you're doing it. Let's make the woods a safer place to be in, so that every wife doesn't have to worry while her husband or son is hunting. Re- member--carelessness pays--with a bullet in your head. Ist Prize - High School Clyde Pingree Page Thirty-Eight THE MUSSUL UNSQUIT SAFETY WHEN HUNTING Safety when hunting is very essential for the protection of yourself as well as oth- ers. Many people are too careless with the use of firearms and the way they hunt. They give no regards to others who are hunting and are not even careful for them- selves. First let us take the way a man should dress before going into the woods. Dark clothes would be bad to wear. Most men prefer bright red or bright green clothes which are not easily mistaken by another hunter. Second, let's look at the firearms which we are going to use. Has the gun been kept in good condition while not being used? Was it cleaned and put away well oiled or has it been thrown in a corner somewhere to rust during the summer? Is this gun all solid and fit to be used? Now that we have checked our rifles, shot-guns, or what other kind of weapon that might be used, let us look at the way we should handle it while in the woods. You should never walk in front of any- one and have your gun laid back on your shoulder pointed at the other person. Never point a gun at anyone regardless whether you think it is loaded or not. Never play with a gun, it's not a play thing. Always know what you are doing with it. When you are crossing a fence, it is good policy to put the gun over first, then climb over yourself, pick up your gun and continue on your way. Always make sure you know what you are shooting at. Never shoot, then look. After all, a man does not look like a deer or any other kind of animal. Shooting at a flat object is dangerous. The bullet might deflect from it. Never mix alcohol and firearms, that is the worst thing a man can do. Page Thirty-Nine Remember, always hunt safely, it may be your own life you are saving. Second Prize Clarence Mitchell SAFETY IN HUNTING Hunting is a sport which, though prac- ticed by many, is a never ending source of danger to all. There have been a lot of words said on the subject, and many safety precautions and rules have been drawn up, so the percentage of casualties might be lessened. There are, however, a great many people who disregard any kind of order, or use common sense of any kind in the woods. They are the peo- ple who shoot up other hunters, and, through carelessness in dress and actions, frequently get shot themselves. A deer ri- fle has been known to be a tubular piece of steel with a muzzle at one end, and a muddle at the other. In trying to state definite cardinal rules which should be followed by all, a real problem comes into view. There are so many psalms and sayings that have been centered around the woods, that it would be impossible to lay them down as a graphical representation of safety in the woods. In this, I am reminded of an old deer hunter's adage: One shot, one deer. Two shots, maybe one deer. Three shots, no deer. Firearms are the first items to be taken under consideration. An unloaded gun should be regarded as loaded at all times. This would eliminate the old I didn't know the gun was loaded , dodge. Many people have killed themselves and others by walking through the woods, carrying a loaded, cocked gun. A rifle should be carried with the muzzle pointing at the ground at all times. Of course, the safety should be on. If you canit click the piece off safety whenever it becomes necessary for you to shoot, you 'l'HE MUSSUL UNSQUIT might as well quit, and take up knitting, or something. Careless loading is another cause of ac- cidents. Too many hunters have taken that one little peek down the barrel to check for obstructions. Also, when you load up, do it in a way that does not endanger others. Never aim a gun at anything you don,t intend to shoot. But don't shoot at every thing you see moving, either. Hunters have blazed away at other men and their dogs which they had taken for game rang- ing through the brush. In short, don't be trigger happy. A quick way of inviting the undertaker is to use white handkerchiefs in the woods. You will look like a deer with an upraised tail, and some other trigger happy hunters might not know the difference. Wear red colored clothing whenever possible. It is not necessary to state the reason for this. In the fall, when the leaves are turning and the reds and browns pre- vail, color becomes a matter of personal opinion. Dont be like the chamleon. Pro- tective coloration is one thing you can do without. Here again, a little common sense enters the picture. Shooting is not all of safe hunting, how- ever. All the game in the world will do you no good if you can't haul it out. Peo- ple have been lost twenty feet off the trail SO ..............,...,...........,.,.,..... Don't enter the woods at all until you have gained knowledge of where you are going, where you are at any specified time, and lost, so be careful. If you do get lost, don't lose your head! Sit down and think over the matter care- fully. Keep to the high ridges so you can see where you are going. Take not of natural landmarks. Wherever possible take sights on trees or mountains so you can travel in a straight line. I Third Prize John Newkom, Ir. PAUL AND THE OUT-OF -STATE HUNTERSI Paul was a young boy of fourteen. He lived in a small town out in the country. His father said that his brother and a friend were coming up hunting, in a week. So the time passed. One day his father got a call saying his grandfather was very ill and was about to die. So Mr. Manning had to pack and leave. Father told Paul to stay home and guide the hunters into the woods and told him where to take them. So the next day the father and moth- er left for the grandfather's home. The time passed and finally the chance came. Paul went out of doors and i11 the yard was a green car. Paul went to the car and a man said, Is this where Mr. Manning lives? Paul replied, Yes, but he is down to my grandfather's. Are you the men that my father was going to take hunting?', Their reply was, Yes I am taking you huntingf replied Paul. So he went in and got his gun and boots. He came out and got into the car. Paul said, Co up that road about a mile and a half, you will come to a logging road, go drive your car down the logging road a little way and park it. When they got there he said, It is mighty good hunting here, we should get a deer in no time. Paul said, One thing-- be sure that your gun is on safety before you leave the car. The first thing they did was cross a fence. The first man started to cross it with his gun across his arms. Stopl shouted Paul, that is dangerous. The gun might go off. Pass me the gun, then when you get across I'll pass it to you. Now we will go on. Lookl cried one of the men, I think I see a deer behind that rock! He put his gun off safety, then he pulled up his gun and was going to fire when Paul shouted, Stopl That may not be a deer. Be sure to look twice before shooting. Page Forty p THE MUSSUL UNSQUIT Yes, itis a deer all right, you may shoot but be carefulf' said Paul. Well, one of the men got a deer. So far so good. Finally they went on. Before long the other man said, There goes a deer! So he shot, but all they found was blood. He said, Well, let's go onf, No!v said Paul. We have to follow the bloodf' So they did. Before long Paul said Come over here and see if you can see herf, They looked and they looked but could not see her. Paul said, Look at your feet. One of the men screamed, Here she is right by our feetfi Well, it had been a good day, so they started back dragging the deer. Paul did not have a deer but going back he saw fl big buck. He pulled up and fired, down he went. Paul went and stuck him. Then they went on. They really had a good day, coming back with two does and a buck. But the best thing was safety. Always think of safety in the woods or around guns. When Dad and Mom came home they were surprised, but his Dad said, Did you hunt safely?', Paul said, Yes, I did and I think I showed the men something, toof' lst Prize - Grade 8 Everett Foster ONE SO SMALL Many times I am told that I am guardian of the future, that the world situation will soon be passed to me and the members of my generation. I ask myself the sixty four dollar question: Where do I fit into the picture, what can I, myself, do to better the world situation?'i The world today is one of turmoil, con- fusion, full of prejudice and dishonest peo- ple. Corrupt government is an outstand- ing fact. Again comes the question: Where do I fit in?,' In the communist picture I might figure in as a key henchman of Stalin, or as a slave, but I am an average American who Page Forty-One is striving to maintain Democracy and abolish slavery and wars. I must set before me an example of Truth, Love, Loyalty, Iustice and Clear- thinking. I should set this example for all and I must be a good follower in this example as well as a leader. But will this solve my problem? Rome was not built in'a day, nor will tranquility be restored in a day. It may take years, it may take generations, it may take centuries. I may be a small match in a dark room, my light is so small, but other matches may be lit by it and soon the room will be lighted. To start my light, I must have a spark, an example to fol- low, and the example I choose is Jesus. Carla Hoepner ,54 CINDA'S BIG RACE aloe! joe!

UNS-QUIT Cinda did practice every day, though many times she would rather have done something else. When the great day arrived the sun rose in all its splendor. Cinda was wide awake and already winning the race in lier vivid imagination. She couldn't set- tle down long enough to eat her break- fast but flew around making sure every- thing was ready for the race which was scheduled for two o'clock. At five minutes of two Cinda wiggled into her red bathing suit. Then she started out to join the others awaiting the start- ing gun but she was not to get there this time, for she stepped on a cake of soap carelessly left lying on the tile floor. Her wrist struck the edge of the pool with a thud as she fell. The doctor pronounced it a bad sprain thus ending all thoughts of Cindafs par- ticipating in the race this year. During the ensuing year many things happened, including joe's entering the state university. One day, a year after Cinda had sprained her wrist, he received a small blue ribbon on which was printed First Prize--high school swimming con- test-19--. Harriet Bates '52 MRS. SANTA SAVES THE DAY It was the day before Christmas and Santa was sick in bed, with a very bad cold. Santa was very nervous because he knew Mrs. Santa would never let him out of bed to go and fill all the little girls' and boys' stockings all over the world. Mrs. Santa came into the the room just in time to see Santa climbing out of bed. You can just climb right back in that bed, Mr. Santa, because you aren't going out to fill all those stockings for the boys and girls with the cold that you haveq besides, I am sure that Sandy Elf will gladly take your placef, Mrs. Santa said. Oh no, said Santa Sandy Elf's eye sight is so poor he would miss half of the housesf, Well, said Mrs. Santa I will go thenf' That night Mrs. Santa set out. She came to jean Toothaker's house and found that she didn,t mend her stocking very well, so she wrote a note to her and told her to be sure and mend her stocking better and she gave her some needles and thread. Next she went to Peggy Eustis and found that she didn't wash her stockings very well so she wrote her a note and told her to wash her stockings more often and left her some soap powder in her stocking. She went up the next stop and it was Mary Anne Reynolds and found that her bed was not made and her clothes were on the floor, so she gave her some hangers and left her a note and told her to make her bed more often and she did the same to all of the rest of the houses and if something needed to be done, she wrote them a note. About two weeks later Santa began get- ting letters from the childrenis parents saying that they were doing as Santa had asked them. That night when they were eating sup- per Santa said, You know, Mrs. Santa, vou are really great. Corrine Tyler '55 LOOKOUT--ROOF'S A FALI..IN'l I hear hels a reg'lar fancy one, Sarah. When he come up on th' buckboard this mornin, he had 'nuff suitcases an' bags an, things ta break down a haywagon. His hair was slicked down real smooth an' he wore a pair of black high boots shiny 'nuff ta blind a horse! I know what ya mean, Mathilda - one a them city parsons. They's always dressed fit ta be laid out, even effen they don't make much money outa preachin'. It,s kinda too bad he,s gotta d'liver his sermon in that storin' shed. Probably it'll Page Forty-Two g R THE MUSSUL UNSQUIT look kinda redic'lous ta him 'side a some a those big churches he's been in. Oh, I don't know. It ain't much of a place ta show a visitin' minister, but I guess he'll shoot forth th' old gospel in it Sunday jus' th' same. I'm gonna be there early so I kin get a good seat on th' inside. There's gonna be an awful lot there. Some'll have ta stand outside. I seen some a' th' men a little while ago when I went by th' shed puttin' up some poles on th' outside a th' place. May- be they're fixin' ta have a shelter a some kind for th' people what don't get an in- side seat. Guess probably you're right, Sarah. I heard some folks t'day sayin' that they was tryin' t' round up all th' quilts an' blankets possible so as t' make kind of a outside canopy. You can be sure they'll need it. Everybody's goin' ta be there. And so went the conversation between two country-village citizens many years ago. Everyone in town was thinking about the coming Sunday church service. An outside preacher was coming in and everybody believed it would be quite an affair. Sunday morning gave way to a snow- storm. But the weather didn't seem to bother the huge congregation which crowded into the small storing shed and underneath its outside canopy --sewed- together blankets and quilts held up by rugged nine-foot poles. I The reverend took his place behind a raised pulpit and looked over the crowd he was to preach to. The sight before him was both inspirational and amusing. In- spirational because of its size--hundreds of people had turned out to keep the Sab- bath and to hear his sermon, amusing because of the nature of the people and Page Forty-Three the manner in which they were dressed-- there were farmers and general store keep- ers, housewives and blacksmiths arrayed in their best clothes which were, by mod- ern standards, hilariously ridiculous. The sun came out and drove the gloom of the snowstorm away from the site of the occasion. Moments flew by. The parson was giv- ing forth hellfire and brimstone with all the emotion and excitement expected of a man of his profession. It was getting warmer, and, beneath the rays of the sun, the snow which had piled on top of the blanket canopy from the storm had begun to melt. Almost all of the people ignored the faint tricklings of water which drip- ped down from the edges of the canopy. But everyone was aware of a catastrophe when the blankets, burdened by the weight of the snow and water, began to sway and heave. Someone yelled, Look- out-Roof's a fallin'l and the place was struck by a storm of pandemonium and confusion. People fell ofver each other trying to escape until the scene was one of complete chaos. Bodies were thrown and tangled together. And the whole world seemed to be running around trying to lift the fallen blankets and straighten out the wreckage. From out of the noise and bedlam came the loud, clear- voice of the parson, I cannot find it in my heart to feel sorry for you. I see that you have painted buildings and shingled roofs to shelter yourselves and your families, but not one move have you made to create a real house of God! At the next meeting of the town oflicials action was taken which led to the building of the first church in Strong, Maine. Blaine Moody '52 ff2114Ei3ET9HEE It POETRY CORNER - GEMS CLEANED FROM THE FRESHMEN MOTHER NATURE AND AUTUMN As we gather in the harvest In the sunshine warm and clear, Mother Nature does her duty For the season of the year. She dresses up the branches With colors radiantly bright, She does it very nicely Touching every leaf in sight. She covers all the hillsides, The mountains and the glensg We would think to see them That we were looking through a col- ored lens. Mother Nature does her best To make for us a world thatls gay - Then she sends the fall winds, And blows the pretty leaves away. Rupert Raymond DON'T LOOK FOR TROUBLE This old world is pretty nearly what we choose to make it, Happiness lies all around us, if we choose to take it. So when things seem to be going wrong, we are often to blame, Let's take off our blue glasses, and we'll find things won't look the same. Corrine Tyler WINTER In winter, nights are white and still, A lonely owl hoots o,er the hill, And the moon so full and hanging low Makes diamond sparkles across the snow. WINTER SUNSET In solitary splendor, I watched the winter sun Sink down to rest o,er banks of snow And fade into the west. The lingering light of shortened day Across the snowy landscape white Paled and deepened into night. The frosty air of twilight rose from earth to heaven afar Making a misty pathway, To mingle with the solitary even star. THE COUNTRYSIDE The countryside is a peaceful place A home for all things wildg Where little brooks flow swiftly And the weather is usually mild. It is a place of color and charm Where birds sing their lullabiesg And the little fish swim silently And the pine tree softly sighs. The countryside has a charm of its own Where Nature can work her plan, Where birds and flowers, the sun and showers Help make a home for Man. Barbara Peary SEASONS First comes winter in her garment of white, That makes the world shine so sunny and bright, Snow balls and skating and sliding are games, VVhich you think of when you mention Winter's name. Spring comes in, in her budding gown, To decorate the earth, up and down, Streams flow, the animals and birds ap- pear, Then you know that Spring is here. Page Forty-Four g THE MUSSUL UNSQUIT Summer sweeps the entire nation, Everyone takes a long vacation. Swimming, and camping, and fishing give pleasure For those who vacation, to treasure. Fall comes in with her trimmings bright To give the hunters grand delight. Raking leaves is a common pastime Even on Sunday, when the church bells chime. Iudy Pingree THE FIRST THANKSGIVING The times were hard that first year. The men had to be very brave, For many wives and children dear Were sleeping in their graves. Many children were left fatherless By the cold New England storm. Many people had a cabin, But no fire to keep them warm. Soon the Indians helped the white men. They taught them not to fear All the terrors of the forest, And how to shoot the big red deer. How to fish the streams around them, How to plant their fields with maize, How to clear away the tall trees So the animals could graze. After that first year they had a feast To thank the Indians for their gifts. They would eat of finest turkeys And to Cod their hearts theyid lift. S0 all the people gathered round The Indians and the whites. They ate and praised the Lord above For three days and two nights. The years have passed but still it seems, Like only yesterday The Red men and the White men, Had their first Thanksgiving Day. Gloria Huff - Grade 8 Page Forty-Five THE SENIORS OF S. H.

We are trembling and nervous, but we are a happy nine. We shed tears. Tears of joy or tears of regret? We don't know. We only know that leaving S. H. S. is hard to do. Someday we'll wish we were back. We are proud and we have teachers and parents that are proud-proud to think that they have helped to bring us as far as the graduating class from S. H. S. in '52. We have come a long way, the few of us that are left. There are just nine. When we were Freshmen there were twenty- four of us. Every year something happened to our class. We all wish we could say what's in our hearts and minds, but what can we say at a time like this? We only want all the teachers from our very first year at school to our very last year, to know that We Nine are as proud of you as you are of us. You helped us to accom- plish many of the things that we could never have done without you. This will be our Good-by. And may all the other class- es behind us be as lucky as we have been by having the cooperation and help that we had from our teachers during our four years of High School at S. H. S.
