PINGREE Woodworking rovs and Novemes e e coMPLiMENTs OF COMPLIMENTS or Youn FRIEND r CUSHMAN Howard Look for the Cushman Truck General Your Neighborhood Strong ' The Mussul Unsquit 32nd Edition Strong High School 1953 o A Message From Mr. Schliess It is a great privilege for me to write a few sentences to you in your yearbook. Also I am glad to have a chance to thank you for your hospitality, helpfulness and friendship. Special thankfulness is owed to your superin- tendent E. Allen, your principal MacLeod and your teachers for spend- ing so much time with me to make my stay her so interesting and success- ful. Once a German author wrote the words that everybody should regard everybody's fatherland but he should love his own. I like these words very much and I am glad to know that all Americans I met had the same idea and they are interested in European and German problems. Even the chil- dren in school showed great interest, and sometimes they had more ques- tions than the adults. That was fine for they are the critics and leaders of the future. Some of you students are to be congratulated for getting the High School Degree. Be proud of it because you had to work for it and on the other hand for it shows you want to attribute your part in civilization and culture in the U.S.A. I am glad to be with you and I wish you all luck and success in your future life. As I learned you get this book to remember your school life, your teachers, and fellow students. I like this idea very much, and I ain glad to be in a picture too. If you remember sometime that there was a teacher from Germany for three weeks in your school and if you learned from him that we German people want to be friends with you and that we work very hard to keep freedom and to get a real democracy in our country, then he did the best job of his life and his visit in Strong will show a posi- tive result sometimes. That is what I hope and wish. Thank you again for your goodness and willingness to understand the German situation. Good luck to all of you, HERMAN PETER SCHLIESS Faculty Left to right: Payclen, MacLeod, Bailey, Carney, Folsom, Tower FRANK S. TOVVER, IR.

Officers were elected as follows: President Donald Baston Vice-President Clyde Pingree Secretary-Treasurer Joanne Haines The most important move of the Stu- dent Council was, to raise money for the new, sharp looking uniforms for the boys' Under the leadership of Mrs. Hilda Steward the band had a very successful season. It consisted of 15 members, 6 from the grammar school and 9 from the high school. We practiced together every Fri- day afternoon and sometimes played for rallys on Friday afternoon, also. The band also played at basketball games. Seven boys went to Jay High School to play in a big band consisting of six schools. The boys were: Burchard Allen, John Cravlin, Ronald Haney, Jerry Lambert, Clyde Pingree, Eugene Reynolds, Boyd Richards. Student Council basketball team. This money came from the selling of the ice cream and hotdogs. Some of the activities that the Student Council has taken part in are, selling hot- dogs at basketball games and selling ice cream at recess. They revised the requirements for awards in music, band and also athletics. They did a very good job this year, and the high school should be proud of its Council. Band We hope that the band will grow larger and better next year. There are no Seniors in the band so we shouldn't lose anyone, but we should have many new members coming in. Members absent when photo was taken: Norma Peary, Sewell Pingree, Earl Allen, Delbert Reed, from grammer school, John Cravlin from high school, Mrs Steward, leader. There are a great number of beginners that we should have next year.

JUJYL. l '45 Cami - Glenn Lim- 'lnn,4-un 'Munir Map, .gut 3qnJ Azufh Literary WHY STRONG IS A GOOD PLACE TO LIVE There are many reasons why Strong is a good place to live. The one I am most interested in is the new school building. This is considered one of the best in Maine. Our gym is an excellent one for a small school. There are several new courses that have been added to the curriculum since we've had the new school. We now have a Com- mercial Course, which includes typing, shorthand and office practice. This is a very helpful course to all the girls en- abling more to get a job when they finish high school. We have three mills, one of which is the largest toothpick factory in the world. This is Forster's. About one-half of the peo- ple are employed here, and also many persons from other towns. Other wood products and plastic wares are made there too. Strong Wood Turning Corporation makes novelties and wood turning prod- ucts. We are fortunate in having the Star- bird long lumber mill, which supplies local building materials. If anyone likes to hunt and fish, there is also a large number of places for that. Most of the wooded areas are plentiful with deer and other game. There are many streams for fishing. Sandy River is the most noted of these. These sports attract many people from out of state. There are many community organiza- tions in Strong. Some of these for the younger people are the Girl Scouts, which are very active, Boy Scouts, which have a nice Boy Scout camping ground, and a swimming pool, which was made by some of the boys with the help of their leader. Also a 4-H Club which helps the younger children learn more about raising animals, cooking and sewing. There is also a Youth group of the Methodist Church. For the older people, there are such clubs as 38 Grange, Lions Cfor menj, Boosters f also for men Q, American Legion, Masons, East- ern Star and the W.S.C.S., a club of the Church. These are all very active in the town of Strong. We are fortunate to be near a town which is noted for a State Teachers Col- lege. Anyone who wishes to attend this college can easily travel this distance daily. The fact that Franklin County Mem- orial Hospital is also near, is important to the townspeople. There is a beautiful spot close by for summer vacations. Porter Lake, which is located between Strong and New Vine- yard, has many little cottages and camps. Here one finds beautiful views and an en-- joyable climate. It is a fine place for swim- ming, fishing, boating and picnics. Strong also has winter sports. Ice fish- ing, skating and skiing is done. Most of the ice fishing is done at Porter Lake. Skating is done on some of the streams or little ponds that freeze over during the winter. Two of these such places are Chandleris Pond, and Starbird's Mill Pond. Not too much skiing is done, but enough for the children to enjoy themselves. We are near two big ski slopes, so if anyone wants to do more skiing on larger slopes, they are able to do so. The roads around Strong are very good. Some of them have been newly made over, so they are wonderful for Sunday drives, and for the people who are driving through on their way to places for visits. In the winter time, the mountains are very scenic and you are.able to see most all of them covered with snow. In the summer time, the forests are colored with pretty leaves and colorful game running around in them. This makes a very nice picture for those who like the outdoor life. If anyone wants to move, Strong would be a nice place. It is a quiet town, but everyone would find it a pleasant town to live in. Everyone in the town is helpful at all times and are usually very friendly. Joanne Haines ,53 A POEM I'm supposed to write a poem, And don't know how to start. I really want to do it From the bottom of my heart. But it is really hard to find A subject thatis worth while So I will cut it to a verse And close this with a smile. Margaret Eustis ,55 DEFENSE OF SIMPLE SIMON That Simple Simon was a fool A lot of folks have said, A harmless sort of half wit, With few brains within his head. But critics are, I often think, A little too severe Perhaps he was no fool at all, But only slightly queer. Now sooner or later most all of us, Get pricked on thorn or thistle But few, like Simon, have the spunk To go ahead and whistle. 'Tis told how Simon fished for whales Once in a pail of tin, But Jonah never thought of whales Until one gulped him in. Whatever way you choose to look, Life is one great surprise, And it is often hard to tell, The foolish from the wise. Allen Scamman ,53 Literary TO IULIA O, she thought she was in China And a million miles away, All among the tall pagodas Where the shining geishas play. And the mocking birds were singing, And the lanterns burning red, And the temple bells were ringing, Softly, softly in her head. And those high and frozen mountains Brought her comfort in the night, Colden fish in silver fountains, Wave her garments of delight. And the rich and fragrant blossoms, Scented all the shining air, And the mocking birds were nesting, Quietly, quietly in her hair. john Cravlin SKY LIGHTS I was standing in the doorway of our snowy white cottage. A matching picket fence surrounded it and the colorful gar- den. The rain had stopped. White, fieecy clouds were floating away, and bright sun- light came streaming down, bathing thc inlet in golden beauty. The copper red sun clearly lighted the green horizon. An arch of beautiful variegated colors spanned the entire arc of sky, its two ends resting in brilliant grassy green fields be- fore the distant lavender mountains. It brought to my mind the legend of the pot of gold at the foot of the rainbowv and caused me to dream and wonder. The fiery orange ball lingered then dis- appeared, its last rays leaving the sky all aflame with its beautiful colors. Misty clouds floated over in a creamy whiteness, edged in golden softness. In a little while, bright yellow stars broke through the darkening blue and 39 Literary twinkled softly down. Then a pale moon peeked over the dark outline of the green forests behind me. It hesitated, then rose in full beauty, a globe of lovlincss in the royal blue heavens. Slowly it climbed higher and higher amidst the golden studded firmament, a huge lemon suspended there beginning its long night's vigil. At last! Night had fallen and the world was bathed in a wonderous silvery beauty. Robert Brackley BASEBALL SEASON The boys of S. H. S. really are excited For basketball is over and baseball is sighted. Soon there'll be a break of Spring-like weather, Then after school hours the boy'll get together And form a ball club which will not be beat. For our boys will battle against defeat With Pingree on the mound, and Reynolds behind home plate The batter is sure to strike out, it's his only fate. But - if the batter should connect with the ball He would not stand any chance at all For at first base, heid be forced to retire By Stevens, of course, no one could jump higher. VVith Lambert at second and White on third base They're ready for action, if that be the case. H.

Gloria Laffin ,56 SISTERS BEWARE If the first thing you hear in the morning is Oh Brotherlv You might as well turn over, Cause itis only your mother, Trying her best to get Brother out of bed. At last he appears with a tousled head, Which looks more like a tattered rat's nest, Which bothers Brother when he's at his best, But when he gets up, Sisters Beware! Never laugh about his uncombed hair. Heill stand before the mirror, turning every way, Patting his waves in, so they'll stay all day. If he goes out of doors, and the wind is blowing, He comes in again, grunting and groaning Because his hair is all messed down, And he just CAN'T go up town, Where everyone could see him. So he combs it again, with great vigor and vim Of course he couldn't wear a thing call a hat, It might make his pretty waves all flat. If you criticize his hair, sisters, Expect nothing but a spat, Besides, he'll criticize your hair for days after that. Now remember my warnings about criticizing his hair, And if you attempt it after this, All I can say is-SISTERS BEWAREl Judith Lambert ,56 AERIAL NAVIGATION During the Middle Ages there were many attempts to put forward a workable airship or to imitate the flight of birds by use of artificial wings. Balloons were the first means of ascend- ing into the air. Heated air was used to make them rise. Experiments were done about the same time with hydrogen bal- loons. The first man-carrying ascent took place in 1783, and the first channel cross- ing was made in 1785, in a balloon. During the following century, balloons were greatly developed and were used for both scientific and military purposes. Great advances were made in scientific research with unmanned balloons equipped with Literary recording instruments that worked auto- matically. In September of 1930, scientists suc- ceeded in staying in the stratosphere for 8 hours. They were in contact with the ground at all times by radio. Only since 1885 have balloon corps been organized by the nations for military use. At first dirigibles were not rigid and often changed in shape during flights. The experiments of Count Von Zeppelin result- ed in the first practical rigid air ship which bore his name. In 1909 a voyage of 870 miles in 37 hours was accomplished in one. Between 1910 and 1914 over 15,000 passengers were car- ried by them without mishap. By 1930 airships were used a great deal, making around the world crossings. The gas used was hydrogen and often resulted in explo- sions. There were a number of bad disas- ters. The worst and most known about was in 1939 when the Hindenburg blew up while making a landing in New jersey, killing all on board. After that a non- explosive gas called helium came into use but due to the war with Germany little use was made of dirigibles for passengers. The Blimp is a common form of dirigible used by the army and navy. They are also used by many advertising firms. It is not uncommon to see them flying over some large city advertising a new product. Airplanes, as the heavier type of air- craft were first successfully flown in 1903 by the VVright brothers. A flight across the English Channel was made in 1909. After World War I great advances were made in endurance tests and long distance flights. Air mail service was begun by the Uni- ted States Government in 1919 and 1920. The first transcontinental mail flight was made between New York and San Francis- co, September 8, 1920. Passenger lines later took the routes established by the mail planes. 41 Literary It was an American sea plane that first crossed the Atlantic Ocean. In 1927 Charles Lindbergh made his famous flight across the Atlantic Ocean. This flight created a world wide interest in aviation. On June 23, 1931, Wiley Post an Aus- tralian flier set out to break the around- the-world record held by a Zeppelin. They flew from New York and made the flight in eight days, fifteen hours, and fifty-one minutes in the famous Winnie Mae. Amelia Earhart Putnam is another name we remember. She flew across the Atlan- tic Ocean to set four records at one time. She was the first woman to fly the ocean, also the first to fly the ocean twice in an airplane. She set a new record by crossing the North Atlantic in 13 hrs. 30' seconds. She also set the distance record for woman fliers. One great thing made possible by avia- tion was for man to see the top of Mount Everest. April 3, 1933, they were able to photograph the top of this mountain from a plane. Since 1940 aviation has advanced so ra- pidly that it is almost impossible to keep up with its progress. Advances include automatically controlled planes, new in- struments for blind flying and the automa- tic pilot, also radar. American companies already have done design work on planes that will be able to travel from New York City to Los Angeles in four hours. It will not be long before operational jet fliers will be flying at speeds greater than 1,000 miles per hour. A St. Louis University has announced a course in the problems of space travel, the first of its kind anywhere in the world. It will deal with the latest rocket stability and design under conditions of outer space. A professor in astronomy at Northwest- ern University predicts the first space voy- age will take place around 1992. The per- son to make this first trip to another planet 42 or the moon is now probably about two years old. Allen Scamman ,53 ODE TO HUNTERS AND FISHERMEN Are you an ardent sportsman who sea- sonally goes hunting and fishing? If you are you know that certain trials and tribu- lations occur when you are afield which can be provoking, discouraging and even madening. Let's pick on the hunter first. He is the fellow who can really take a licking. He's up early in the morning falarm rang at 4:30 but he sleeps overj, pulls on long johnsi' and heavy hunting clothes. Break- fast ready? Oh, yes! The little lady was going to have a rest today. So he prepares a typical hunter's breakfast consisting of oatmeal, pancakes, toast and coffee, which is hot and black enough to dye wool. Of course the oatmeal has to scorch while he's getting on his boots. The pancakes are pretty leathery, but a few get eaten. A horn sounds loudly outside and the hunter knows that his party has arrived. He scur- ries around and gets his gun, ammunition, matches, lunch, rope and jumps in with his friends to ride about a mile to where the hunt is to begin. When they arrive they pile out and head into the woods. Each is quite sure of the land because they hunted here last year. They also agree to meet on a little knoll near the car at lunch time. To make a long story shorter, the hunter in one day's hunting, gets lost in an alder swamp which has a beaver pond in the middle of it. Of course he didn't know it was there, or where he was when he got to it. Secondly he has to go and fall into a brook when he's getting a drink, and wet his shirt which holds all of his matches. It gets along to about lunch time and he hasnit seen any deer or tracks. On the way back he gets turned around again. It is five oiclock before he gets back to the car and the other fellows have return- ed. When asked why he didn't get back for lunch he replies, Oh, I found a good fresh track and stayed with it.', Before going home they have something to eat and drink. All agree their luck has not been very good and if they can get away theyill be back next Saturday for another big hunt. So much for the hunting. You and I know that we wouldnit hunt like this. Have we seen others hunt this way? Now I must pick on the fishermen. They are a sorry lot. There are certain fellows who go fishing just for the fun of it but I'd just as soon catch something while I'm there. And the flies! Pesky things, that can make you go crazy. Yes, if you smoke a nasty old pipe fast enough fso to make lots of smokej you might succeed in hold- ing off a few. They can sure get on oneis nerve if he's got a fish biting. When youire fishing youire always tan- gled up. You cast, get a backlash and while you're picking it out your lure be- comes snagged .on bottom and you have to bust it to get free. Usually the hook, line and sinker stays. Or you've caught your best pattern bi-visible up in a tree when you backcast. Also a fly fisherman can have fish jumping all around him and he wonit be able to find anything for a fly that the fish will take. You must have lots of patience. And did you ever fall in the brook while fishing? If you haven't I d0n't think you ever went fishing. Rocks can be mighty slippery. Usually if you fall in you'll fall in the best fishing hole on the brook. What's the use? Why do we go hunting and fishing? For untruths or exaggerations, my apol- ogy. Boyd Richards '55 Literary CONTENTMENT In Granddad's day, Iive oft been told, They sought contentment Instead of gold. There wasn't this hurrying And rushing to go, They just waited Though things came slow. They didnit care what The joneses had, They had what they needed And that made them glad. They were not bothered By plane nor car, For they had no desire To go very far. A team of horses hitched To carriage or sleigh Was the conveyance they had When going away. They went to the Meeting House On the hill, And told God If it be His will, To let them be strong In body and mind. And that's why contentment They all did find. Rupert Raymond ,55 SOCIETY'S MOST IMPORTANT CONNECTION I believe societyis most important con- nection is the button. Where would this world be without the button? In case you are not familiar with buttons there are round buttons, square buttons, big buttons, little buttons, red buttons, yellow buttons, 43 Literary black buttons, and white buttons, and al- most every button you come to has a but- tonhole. Most buttons are for connectional pur- poses only but a few are used for decora- tions. These buttons may be metal buttons, glass buttons, pearl buttons, plas- tic buttons, and wooden buttons. There are buttons used on the back, there are side buttons, front buttons, and shoe but- tons. Buttons serve their purpose best when buttoned. To button a button it is general- ly necessary to be equipped with two hands and sometimes it requires three or four hands and a buttonhole. ,Place one hand on the button and the other hand on the buttonhole. Then draw the two to- gether until the buttonhole overlaps the button and you can see part of the button through the hole. Now tip the button side- wise and slip it half way through the but- tonhole with the hand originally on the button. With the other hand ease the button through the rest of the way while pushing from underneath with the first hand. There are several points to remember. First of all when buttoning a button on someone else you will be doing it in the reverse of buttoning a button on yourself so please don't put the buttonhole on the underneath side for you will not be able to complete the operation. Secondly when you have passed the button on the under- 44 neatli side and are trying to peer through the buttonhole at it you will find this a difficult position if you are buttoning a button on the back of yourself. So please be careful here. Some people don't have all their buttons and they are people you should be really sorry for and hope that you never reach that condition. It can be a very embar- rassing situation to lose a button from a critical position. However you will not lose any if you are very careful when bending over, scratching your left ear with the lit- tle toe on your right foot, reaching the book on the top shelf, and eating that ex- tra helping which will encourage that pro- truding bay window, for it is a well known fact that bay windows have caused more buttons to pop than have anything else. If you find yourself in the embarrassing situation of missing a button I hope you are prepared with needle and thread to sew in on. To sew on a button is a task you should practice well. Please don't practice sewing it on in church or on a street corner for Grand Central Station or a dance hall will do just as well. Sew your button on securely and face the world as- sured that you have all your buttons. Buttons are of extreme importance to each of us and a good motto would be: A buttonhole for every button and a button in every buttonhole.
