I A Message From The Primqml To many of you Seniors, the term H School H has meant an institution where you may broaden your scope of knowledge. However, to many others, it signifies a place where one may receive training in mental and in social procedures as well. In early school days, a child was taught to cooperate with all others of his own age and in his own class. At the same time, he is taught cooperation with those with whom he comes in contact, either in the classroom or elsewhere. Dur- ing the years in high school, he begins to broaden out socially. All these steps and many others, too numerous to mention, are the building stones for character. Character, like the multiplication tables, takes time to develop and become a fixed part of your basic intelligible personality. In our school life, we build constantly for character with its many attendant blessings. School and its social aspects, however, must be interesting subject mat- ter and presented by a strong and effective person- nel. A teacher's outlook must be broad enough to recognize and encompass the individual pupil en- trusted to him. Their needs and shortcomings then improved upon by the teacher. Small children are great imitators. Thus, upon the teacher is placed the responsibility of guiding and setting an example in order that the child imitations may be real and produce a character that will make him outstanding as a future citizen of our town and country. VVhen a pupil enters high school, he has reached the age of understanding and reason. As the years go by, this power of reasoning enables the students to form opinions and to conceive ideas of their own. This process represents the basis for character building. Investigation proves that many people fail in many of the bigger and better things which they attempt, because of the deep-seated notion that character has only a brief time of formation. How- ever, while the character traits in an individual receive their fundamental foundation during youth, the actual building of it should go on until the end of the individual's life span. And so to you Seniors graduating this year, I say remember whether we have a great or small mind, whether we are a genius or just an average person, character is still the vital factor that covers our lives, and we may continue to build it whether we are graduates or grandfathers. Therefore, you the Class of 1955, take this ability to learn, turn it into a lifelong desire to learn, and cherish it and nourish it, and make it part of your daily living. It is one of the greatest assets you may have. It is the way to remain happy, young in mind and spirit, alert, and inter- esting to others in everyday contact. It is the keystone to contentment and a satisfying life. During these troubled times, the world needs something, and character might be the answer. i 3 HIDE! mmf?

Gordon Probert represented us in the band. Iudy Sprague won the annual spelling con- test and is going to compete with others in the County district.

The grade children have been privileged to have Mrs. Ruth Lewis conduct art lessons once a week. Mrs. Lewis attended New York University and Commercial Illustration Studios School of Art. Mrs. Hilda Steward teaches music to the grades one day each week. The observance of Educational Week was held on November 9th with Open House in the evening for all interested parents and friends. The pupils' work for one Week was on display in each room and the teachers welcomed the opportunity of talking with the parents concerning their children. A desirable relationship between the school and the community is very important and an effort is made to maintain this relationship. A state milk program was adopted this year whereby the children were able to purchase milk at four cents a bottle. This made it possible for more children to drink milk.

Very well bal- anced lunches have been served. The grade children sold garden seeds. A total of 3520.60 was realized. We, also, had three food sales at school. We wisih to say Thank You U for supporting our sales. We used the money for various needed things for the rooms. The school children have immensely enjoyed the new playground equipment, which consists of two slides, three sets of swings, a sand box and a basket- ball set. We are deeply grateful to the people who made this equipment possible. ln October, Mrs. Margaret Pattershall of the State Department of Education visited each grade room, after which all of the teachers and Supt.

Carl Sandburg -22 Litemry I HEAR AMERICA SINGING ----- WALT WHITMAN LADY OF THE WEST Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, the tempest-tosit, to me I lift my lamp beside the golden door. 'I an I, The Lady of the West, am the first person that you will see when you arrive from the East. As you gradually slow down and begin to see tall buildings, hear plenty of noise, you will see me as I stand guard over all of America and the rest of the world. I am a gigantic statue and the people of America call me the Statue of Liberty. I, Lady of the West Gate, given to the United States soon after the establishment of the French Republic, have reigned over the island of Bedlow. Frederic Auguste Bartholdi is the man to whom I pay tribute for designing me as I am. To you immigrants coming in from the great east I stand for the many freedoms, such as Free- dom of Speech, Freedom of Want, Freedom of Worship, and Freedom of Fear. I mean to you that you can have the many things you were not allowed to have over across. You may think, act, speak, do, want, in other wordx, you are a free man. I, too, am a symbol to all new comers of the ideal to which the American nation is dedicated. In my left hand I hold the 'K Book of Laws, I' which stands for the freedoms that every man likes to have and feels free to have. Rules which we must obey in order to have this freedom and liberty! In order to have freedom, we must be able to get along with one another and co-operate with our chosen leaders. In my upraised right hand I bear the flaming torch that will light the rest of the world. To Americans this means freedom, right of the four freedoms, liberty - right to express each and every oneIs opinion. It illustrates that Americanism is nobody,s monoply. America is made up of more than 752, foreigners. No one can have the owner- ship of America. America is a land where people can come and have a free life and not have to be run by other people America is a land where everyone has a part in all of Americais affairs. I am the symbol of the Land of the Free. I tell of how in America we are Brothers All. We have no time to think of the difference in the races, all races are equal. Everyone must help to keep America a free nation in the years to come. Will you help me to keep America safe from the enemies of jealousy, racial feelings, communistic propaganda? 'I Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, the tempest-tos't, to me I lift my lamp beside the golden door. Iean Toothaker WAKE UP AMERICA 'K We, the people of the United States! 'I Who are We the people? I' Iust you and I the natural born citizens? No! We are not the only citizens of this free nation and great. There are about 425,000 immigrants who have been naturalized, just in the past five or six years, and no telling how many before that time. In order to form a more perfect union. How can we form such a union? By frowning on such people as these 425,000 immigrants? No! We must open our hearts and minds to help them. They are in a strange land, and seeking a new start in life. Establish justice. What justice is this, that a Negro child may not go down on 31st Street, just because that is the district in which the Whites live? Insure domestic tranquillityf, Do we have peace in our homes? Can we sleep nights in peace? No! In many of our large cities, delinquent gangs of Puerto Ricans, Iews, or maybe Italians, roam the streets in search of revenge. Revenge against what? Why do they destroy property? This is why! We Americans call ourselves the superior race. We frown upon these races and force them into the slums. We forget that they are Americans, too. They are snubbed by the MayHower descendants. They, like dogs, are kicked around with little con- cern. What can be done about such conditions? Should these gangs be punished, or should the leaders be talked to and given some alternative for understanding and citizenship? U We the people, ii you and I, whether we are white, black, or yellow skinned, English, French, -24- Italian, or Swedish, Catholic, Iewish, or Protestant, should stop and look around. Consider our neigh- bors as fellow men. For as it states in the Declaration of Independ- ence, and also in the Bible: ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL. Rupert Raymond BROTHERS ALL! Throughout the centuries man has had faith, courage and power to combat great afflictions. Is that power still a stronghold on the generation of today? That incredible lady, Helen Keller, the blind angel of the sightless, has that faith. Miss Keller says, 'I Try to imagine, if you can, the anguish and horror you would experience bowed down from the two fold weight of blindness and deafness, with no hope of emerging from utter isolation. 'I Could you face this the way she has? Do you have that faith and courage? At the height of a creative career Thomas Edison could say, My desire is to do everything within my power to free the people from drudgery and create the largest possible measure of happiness and prosperity for others. VVhen you are at the height of your career will you be able to say this? Abe Lincoln reached his mature religion as he did his statesmanship by a process of growth. This achievement can be traced by his own words to Ioshua Speed who came to Washington to see Lincoln in the summer of 1864 and found the President at the Soldiers Home earnestly reading the Bible. The visitor remarked with a touch of sarcasm: A' I am glad to see you so profitably engaged. I' uYes, was the answer, I am profitably en- gaged. Ioshua then said, Well, if you have recovered from your skepticism, I am sorry to say I have not. I, Lincoln put his hand on his friendis shoulder, his worn face calm and earnest, You are wrong, Speed, he said. 'K Take all of this book upon rea- son that you can, and the balance on faith, and you will live and die a happier and better man. In today's America, a boy graduates from college. I-Ie steps out and proclaims to the world, I have my degree. The world, figuratively speaking, Litemry replies, 6' Sit down, son, and I will teach you the rest of the alphabetf, There are many college graduates who go out into the world and accomplish great things - ac- complishments that make a better world - and become a part of its unfolding panorama. But it does take more than that slip of paper. It takes faith that there will be a world of peace and har- mony gained by hard work. The privilege of citizenship in a free country carries with it the responsibilities to help the less fortunate. There will come a moment to realize that the strength of nations, lies, not only in our wealth and man power, but in ideals of human association based upon the motive - faith in the brotherhood of man. Iudith Pingree AMERICANS We are Americans, We live in a democracy, We call this land of ours The Land of the Brave and The Free. I' We love what it stands for,- Freedom, and Liberty, Progress, Industry, Manufacture, Brotherhood, and Equality. Yes, this is the land for everyone, Great or small, Not just for the big men, the Business men, but for all. Rupert Raymond A LOOK AT AMERICA Energy. That is America in a word. Observers sensed this from the beginning. An immense vitality animates this growing state, Wrote Brande Neuvielle to a friend in Europe in 1807. That was nearly a century and a half agog when it took days to travel from Boston to New York, when it was hard and dangerous to move from one part of the country to another. Now any part of the country can be reached by airplane in a few hours. Now, America sends raw materials thou- sands of miles by rail and water, which come back a thousand miles as finished products. The radio, telephone, and television now reach to the remotest places. Despite the immense size of America, the -25- Litemry life of the whole nation is as close together as was the life of a single state in the 18th century. The drive needed to secure this unity was shown in the men and women who settled America. It required a lot of determination to leave the security of their homes in Europe, and make a living on the shores of New England and Virginia. It took initiative and self-reliance to push the frontier to the west, north, and south, to explore across the plains, over mountains and through deserts, to reach the Pacific Coasts, to feed settlers in increas- ing numbers. Imagination and resourcefulness were needed for inventions. Faith and enthusiasm were needed to work out a democracy in which every man should have the opportunity to better himself. A good way to look at America is to think of it as a group of five or six regions. There is the Central Northeast, which includes New York, which might sometime become the capital of the world. It contains Washington, the seat of the national government. It contains Philadelphia, city of tolerance, of William Penn and Benjamin Frank- lin. New England contains Boston, which for over a century was the intellectual center of the country. The South is tobacco country, horse country, and above all, cotton country. The Midwest is very fertile where there is grain growing, stock raising, and dairying. The Southwest is a place of mining and stock raising. Central Northwest is a place of stock raising, home of the cowboys, and sheep ranchers. Far West is for people who love the sun, with its Hollywood, its beaches, and its citrus groves. Culturally, too, the regions have differences. The literature of America seems regional, for exam-ple: Sinclair Lewis' Main Streetf, Stein- beckls Grapes of Wrath, 'I Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind, 'I Louis Bromf1eld,s The Farm, and many others. But to the contrary of the regional differences, the regions are still united in an essential Amer- icanism. The United States is a league of nations within a nation. More than anyone else, the American believes in the future. From earliest beginnings until the present day, in spite of the impact of wars, the future has always been as real and as vivid in the American mind as the present. Margaret Eustis AMERICA, LAND OF THE FREE America, the land that offers freedom and liberty for its citizens, is a haven for people of all races and nationalities. Since the arrival of the early colo- nists, America has never been a country open only to people of a certain race, nationality, or religion. Among the early settlers were the English, Dutch, French, and Spanish, each bringing with them their own ideas and customs. These different ideas were combined to form the mold for our country and its government. America is nobody's monoply. A certain group of people do not rule our country as in Russia, but every American citizen, whether black, red, yellow, or white, rich or poor, has a chance to vote in the way he feels best. Each family has a chance to do the work he chooses and to make a living and own his own home. To people who come from countries such as Russia, where they are made to work on farms for the government, a whole family often living in one room and never getting a chance to own a home of their own, America is a treasure-chest of gold. Some of the smartest and well-known people in our country are or have been of a different race or nationality. Albert Einstein, the famous physicist, was born in Germany of Iewish parentage. He has given the most important contribution to physics since the discoveries of Isaac Newton. George Washington Carver, who developed many products from the peanut and sweet potato, was the son of slave parents in Missouri. Yet he has become a well-known American Negro Scientist. Another Negro to earn national fame is the great contralto singer, Marion Anderson. Stokowski, the musical conductor, was originally from England, and Andrew Carnegie, the capitalist and manufacturer who introduced the Bessemer process of making steel to the United States, came from Scotland. These people have contributed much to our coun- try in return for the Freedom they have found here. In America we have always welcomed diversity. This was one of the most important factors in making America what it is today. Through the association with our neighbors of foreign descent we have come to understand better their relatives and friends in their home countries across the ..26- ocean. This plays an important part in the promo- tion of world peace. Let us continue to keep America a home for all people desiring freedom. Barbara Peary THE AMERICAN DREAM Some of the people in America are still dreaming. Long ago when the Caveman was living, he lived a hard life. He couldn't dream, he had to keep the world rolling. Then in the years of our grandparents, things became different, from those of the Caveman. But still grandma and grandpa had to be alert. They couldnlt dream too much, either. If grandpa dreamed, his crops would fail, and if grandma dreamed, her children would have no meals. So in order to keep America running, her helpers had to work. Some people of America are lazy, they depend always on someone else to make America a dream land. Some people are wealthy, some poor, and some of them don't even have a place to dream in. The poor have to work hard, worry from day to day about the next meal, wondering how they are going to pay the bills. But nevertheless they are thought of and helped by God. Many of the people sit back and dream for things, they never think of working for them. Now is the time for America to wake up, to work hard, to dream dreams, to solve new problems. This is no time to rest on the glory of our past. H THE AMERICAN DREAM IS A LOVELY THING, BUT TO KEEP IT ALIVE, TO KEEP IT FROM TURNING INTO A NIGHTMARE, EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE WEIVE GOT TO WAKE UP. Birdena Ann Savage ---VARIED CAROLS I HEAR, THOSE OF MECHANIC --.-- THE CARPENTER SINGING - - THE MASON ----- THE BOAT MAN ----- THE SHOE MAKER .---. THE DELICIOUS SINGING o MOTHER, OR OF THE YOUNG WIFE, OR OF THE YOUNG GIRL - - - F THE Litemry ONE FROM TI-IE OLD SCHOOL Every so often we get a letter, at our house, a letter from Grammie Raymond. We always called her Grammie U when we were young but as we grow older she comes to be Mother Ray- mond. About five years ago there came an important event in her life. It was her 50th wedding an- niversary. There were approximately 50 of us, gathered at her house in Rangeley. She just loved every moment of our visit, from the minute we drove into the driveway until she lost sight of our car. Oh! I am so glad to see you, H she would ex- claim, as she kissed each of usg it has been such a long time since I have seen you. That afternoon many pictures were taken, and as we took her picture we knew that it would be a picture of a woman who had not seen an easy life, but one full of hard work and sorrow, mingled with a great deal of happiness. She had been raised on a farm in the Rangeley region and as a girl had always known hard work. When she was married she had to continue this hard work, because it wasn't long before there were one little - two little - three little - until, in all, she had given birth to twelve children. As years passed various diseases took five of her loved ones from her side, and now there are only seven. After her children had all been graduated from high school, she kept on cooking, Selling dough- nuts to tourists of that resort. She is still cooking and doing beautiful laundry work to this day, but she has had to stop cleaning, because at 75, she has a bad knee. As each of her children and grandchildren has married, she has made each a butterliy quilt. She is now on her fourteenth. As each Christmas comes due we find pairs of knit stockings, mittens, gloves, and sweaters, under our tree. Very often she adds home-made jellies and jams to the already wonderful gifts she has made for us. She is a living model of her motto in this life: What is worth doing at all, is worth doing well. I' Rupert Raymond 'L SUSIE BROWN WVearing an old brown suit, shoes that ran over at the heels, hat tipped over one eye - Susie Brown Flew down the station platform, her curled hair springing in all directions. L27- Litemry Boarding the train, she yelled, 'I Hi everybody, to all the young men in sight. A True Romance U magazine was tucked under her arm as she strolled lazily down the aisle. As the train moved slowly out of the station, she stood with her head out of the window and shout- ed, Good-by, I' to all her friends. Then she settled down to crunching away on a bag of potato chips and noisily reading her story out loud. When she reached her destination, she jumped from the train steps and ran through the station calling loudly for a taxi. Well, there goes Susie Brown! Shirley Downs CAPTAIN WINGIS BOAT Captain Wing is a jolly old man who lives at Flagstaff. He pilots an old boat and has a lot of motors and boats to let. I went up to watch him launch a boat down an eighty foot bank into thirty feet of water. The boat was an old boat that he had patched up and painted. A long rope was attached so that men could hold it from going too fast. He was dressed in a Captainls white uniform and waved his hat when he went down with the boat. You could see he was looking forward to the launching splash. When it Was about Hfty feet from the water he shouted, L' Let it go! Let it go! but it stopped. He shouted, Why didn't you let it go? 'I One of the men said, I pushed on the rope but it just doubled up. 'I The men pushed the boat and it slid safely, calmly into the water The captain had to be content with a little splash, that day. Kenneth Bunnell DINAH From behind the plush chair in the living room peered two tiny, mischievous, coal black eyes. Hesitatingly, the eyes moved forward. Two long ears with curly black hair came into view. Then like a flash of lightning a small black body sped through the door. Dinah was in the room where she knew she shouldn't be. She had been trained carefully by her master not to venture beyond the dining room door. But tiny puppies do not always behave the way they should - Dinah doesn'tl Iudith Lambert I HATE CATS When I was about seven years old my mother had a big, black, ugly tomcat. If I ever hated anything it was this feline creature. Every morning when I climbed out of bed I was bound to step on him, for he chose his permanent bed next to mine. He seemed to sense that he annoyed me and therefore crossed my path every time he had a chance. One morning I climbed out of bed and - U Eeeoow - as usual, I stepped on the cat. He must have been having a pleasant dream for he jumped and clawed my leg, leaving three deep, red gashes. I jumped, grabbed him, and hurled him through the open window. I remember thinking afterward that that would probably be the last I would see of him that day. I opened the door and started down stairs - Eeeoow - I tripped over the cat. The next thing I knew I was at the bottom of the stairs with the cat clawing frantically at my back. I must have cried for about a half an hour. It wasnit my hurts but my temper. Now that ou have read this stor , donit ou Q Y Y Y think I have good reason to hate cats? Harriet Moody THE UNWELCOME GUEST Four weeks ago, Mrs. McCarter was preparing breakfast. She reached into the cupboard for a dish and felt a dry, scaly skin. When she brought her hand out of the cupboard out came a snakeis skin. She screamed, of course, for this was the first time that she or the rest of the family knew that there must be a snake in the house. A few days later her daughter went to the sink for a glass of water and there was that horrible looking snake coiled up on the sink. It was live- feet long and black as night. Mr. McCarter decided that it had been in the house for a month. The next time the slimy, black snake was seen, a near-by neighbor rushed into the house and took a shot at it with a rille, but he missed. The family still hears the snake crawling in the walls. They are now building a new home as fast as possible. They say they are going to leave the house to the big, black, slimy, unwelcome snake. Norma Peary -78- IOI-IN'S DIVE john wanted more than anything to make a good dive. He had tried very hard. His instructor told him to watch the other boys make their dives. They hit the water without making the water move. How Iohn wished he could do it! When the boys left, Iohn climbed up on the diving tower. He had been afraid to jump in front of the other boys. He jumped up and down on the end of the diving board. Then he shot down toward the water. Something happened! He hit the water with a loud splash. Iohn climbed again to the diving tower. Once again he sailed toward the water and slid beneath the surface. Iohn finally made a good dive. Allyn Heald I HEAR AMERICA SINGING ----- IN THE MORNING, OR AT NOON INTERMISSION OR AT SUN DOWN ----- MY STATE OF MAINE Far in the North where the wind blows keen, And the grass grows fertile and ever so green. Where the lumbering pine towers into the sky, Swaying slowly in the wind with a moan and a sigh, Where lakes and rivers swiftly How And the bird,s song is sweet and low, The mountains so tall, Abraham, Blue and Day, Etched out in colors of green, purple and gray. Where the sun and moon shine down so clear, Where the touch of Godis hand is distant yet near, With its rugged coasts and rocky plain- This is my home, my state of Maine. Iudith Pingree THE FARM Down the road the farm is sunning itself lazily in the noon day heat, its gigantic waving fields of golden grain stretching out as far as the eye can see. The cows moo contentedly in the pastures, saun- tering along from one luscious bunch of grass to another while the little calves frolic playfully around them. The horses romp vigorously in the other end of the meadow. Literary A tiny bridge spans a wee babbling brook not far from us and shiny brook trout leap gracefully from the water, only to disappear again into little ringlets on the clear sparkling water. A tractor drones rhytihmically in the distance. Our hard-working farmer friend must be harvest- ing his rich golden crops for our city markets. They will go to feed the many hungry people all over America during the cold winter months. As we reach the old-fashioned farmhouse, a tawny collie dog comes loping out to welcome us. Stroking his silky head we continue on into the house, to find the farmeris wife methodically churn- ing butter. When she takes the shining, maize butter from the rustic churn, we gasp breathlessly at its vivid hue. The rough but sweet faced farm- er's wife presents us with a pound when We finally leave just as the sun is setting slowly in the West. It lingers long enough to put forth vivid colors of gold, lavender, and scarlet. The animals all call hungrily for their evening meal. The farmer bounces in from the fields on his noisy tractor, tired from a busy day. In the oncoming twilight we glance back for one last look at the farm. It seems like a paradise to our eyes. It seems so contented and serene spread- ing out lazily, waiting for another day to arrive. Gloria Huff THE FLIGHT OF THE WILD GEESE Faintly from the south comes a sound, Before the naked eye a distant speck appears, Observed with interest from the ground. Soon appears a leader of a long gray line. A huge V they form in the sky, Their broad wings causing a hum in the air, Sending them winging on by. And Honk, Honk, V comes the charmed cry. George Skillings SUNSET The sun was slowly setting in the west as I sat on the cool bank of the babbling brook. I heard the drone of an airplane and gazed into the spacious sapphire sky and saw the silver glint of its wings against the vivid horizon. As it ,29... Literary disappeared from view my eyes lowered and rested on a windmill rising majestically in the evening sunset. I saw birds Hittering around the shadowy tree tops finally coming to rest, each one in his own nest. The gigantic shadows of the pine trees fell silent- ly across the rustling brook, as evening spread over the land. Gail Enman INTERESTING WATERS As we rolled along, just before entering Canada at the Derby line, I began to think about some of the interesting bodies of water I would see while going to Alaska. The first was the mighty St. Lawrence which was at Hood level due to recent heavy rains. That evening we stood beside the highway and looked down on Lake Nippsing. The fish were rising on the clear, calm surface and it looked very majestic in the glowing sunset. The following day we crossed the beautiful St. Maryis River by ferry from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario to Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, which is the site of the famous Soo Locks connecting Lake Huron and Lake Superior. Later We went swimming in Lake Michigan near Manistique, a large resort city in summer. There were few people swimming on the many miles of beautiful beach along side of the highway. On Lake Superior, at Duluth and Superior, Minnesota, many docks were to be seen where great quantities of iron ore and grain are shipped. Soon we found ourselves at the headwaters of the Mississippi River at Bemidji, Minnesota. The river is about twenty feet wide at its origin as it leaves Lake Bemidji. At Grand Forks, North Dakota, an important marketing center, we saw a portion of the Red River and the Red River Valley. From North Dakota we crossed into Montana and soon spotted the Missouri River near Culbert- son. The river bank looked like pictures of the Grand Canyon. Then on to Yellowstone National Park to see the many beautiful glacial lakes, the Yellowstone River and spectacular falls, also Yellowstone Lake which is comparatively, a large inland lake. In Banff, Glacier, and Iasper National Parks there are many alluring glacier fed lakes including the world-famous Lake Louise. Then north and west to Great Slave Lake in the Yukon Territory which is about fifty-two miles long and in summer raises highly imaginable nine pound mosquitoes. The highlight of the trip was seeing the Yukon River at Whitehorse. There were five large river boats, the stern wheel type, docked here. They do not run now because of the trucking over the Al- can Highway. On the Yukon, many prospectors lost their lives during the gold rush, trying to raft their supplies up the river which runs north to the Arctic Sea. In Alaska I fished for salmon in the Moose River, on the Kenai Peninsula and also in the Pacific Ocean fCook Inletj. Ten days later I was headed home by plane and while looking down at the blue Pacific Ocean, I fully realized that I had seen a part of most all the oceans, rivers and lakes on and bordering on the North American continent. Boyd Richards AT THE CLOSE OF DAY Out in the field at the close of day, Two little fawns began to play, They raced to and fro, round and round, Across the field in great leaps and bounds. Soon they were back and settled down To eat the clover that covered the ground. But all of a sudden they lifted their heads To see who was coming over the clover beds. They stood stiff, straight, and tall, Staring past the big stone wall. They watched and waited as their mother neared, Then she turned back and disappeared. They, too, soon followed and disappeared from sight Into the woods in the fading light. Lorraine Baston THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING fin New York Cityj The garden was filled with flowers of all kinds. There were daffodils, tulips, crocus, lilies of the valley and many different kinds of spring fiowers blossoming. The flowers were scattered among beautiful rocks which made up a rock garden. The garden itself was surrounded by the most beautiful weeping willows I had ever seen. The trees were filled with many kinds of birds at work building nests and singing. Everywhere I went, the people looked happy and gay. The dogs had begun to bark and romp together and even the animals in the park seemed to know. It was the first day of spring in New York City. Iudith Neil LIFE UNDERWATER Divers go underwater for hours at a time, they dive for fun and learn about life underwater. With cameras they take pictures of the fish and other creatures on the bottom of the ocean. Sometimes the fish set off the cameras before the divers are ready to take pictures. If they go to the same reefs they can make friends with the underwater crea- tures. They get shell fish and feed them to the other Hsh. The barracuda fish aren't the friendliest, They eat anything alive that they can get hold of. In time the sharks will eat out of the diver's hands. Some fish even get jealous if the divers pay too much attention to the other fish. Like dogs, the fish like to be rubbed under the chin. Divers have to pet fish on both sides at once, for the p-ressure of one hand will push the fish away. So, you see, you can make friends with fish and other life under- water. Iudith Clinch BEAUTY OF A SUNSET The beauty of a sunset is in the beautiful colors -- the mixtures of golden yellow, magnificent orange, and flaming red, light the sky in a colorful pattern. A lone pine in the foreground, silhouetted against the sunset, adds to the appearance of the sky. At first, when the sun is fairly high, the color span is very great, then as the sun sinks a little, the colors reduce their span into a smaller area, but still keep their splendor. Slowly the sun sinks al- together into the horizon and leaves only streaks of color on the sky. Pat Newell A SPRING SCENE The gentle spring rain had ceased and the warm golden sun was beginning to peep through the clouds. As I sat at my window, I watched the clouds slowly melt away. I gazed across the spark- ling meadow to the tiny trickling brook now run- ning full with rain. I watched a bluebird building Litemry its nest in the old battered birdhouse that had been nailed on the dull red barn. My eyes caught sight of a young doe and her timid fawn creeping stealth- ily from the dark forest which lay beyond it. They drank lazily from the cool clear water. After being refreshed they strolled boldly along the spacious meadow toward the rich green cowpasture. The cows were grazing contentedly on the tender wet grass. A few frolicking calves were having the time of their lives dancing around in a large beautiful world! The graceful deer slowly disappeared over a steep ridge near the rickety pasture fence. I glanced above the ridge to a great lavender moun- tain looming majestically over the countryside as though it were king. I noticed something that did make it look like a king. The glint of the bright sun on the ranger station at the top of the moun- tain, served as its silvery crown. My eyes blinded by its sparkling beauty, I had to refocus them for a second look. Finally I pulled my eyes away to glance over the pasture at the sloping hills beyond. Nestled in among the hills was a crude hand-made log cabin, sagging with age and neglect. Then the sun slowly began to depart over the kingly moun- tain. As twilight settled around me all I could see were the lengthening shadows of the scene. I sat silently, listening to the voices of many wild crea- tures. The sweetest of all were the frogs! and the birds'. Feeling melancholy I slowly drifted into a deep peaceful sleep. I awoke the next morning still sitting by my window. The scene had changed somewhat. Instead of cheery sunlight there was only the gentle spring rain once more patting against the window pane. I stared at it a few moments and then turned away to start my cheerful housecleaning! Eunice Voter FEATHERLESS BIRDS Airplanes have always fascinated me. They seem to soar high above us like gigantic birds, effortlessly, calmly, as though they have all the time there is. As a chunky, little girl, if I heard the slightest noise that sounded like an airplane, I would race my shadow to get where I could scan the sky to see whether any featherless birds were coasting above me in a beautiful blue bowl. Learn- ing to pilot an airplane is a pleasure that I look forward to. When I was about seven years old my sister took Hying lessons at a nearby airport.

Dark behind it looms the forest, Looms the black and gloomy pine trees, Looms the firs with cones upon them. Bright before it beats the water, Beats the roaring Sandy River. There the students of Strong High School Dutifully prepare their homework, Do their many many lessons. Many things the teachers tell them Of the stars that shine in heaven. Show them pictures of the wide world, Teach them all that they should know. In the fall the school bell calls them, Calls the young men and the maidens, Calls the four grades of Strong High School. First the Freshmen begin their journey The first round in the ladder of success The Sophomores for their second year, The second happy happy year. And the Iuniors for the third time, The third grand year of happiness. For the Seniors it,s the last year, The last round in the ladder of success The Freshmen wander all about With a dazed look in their eyes, But after a few days in high school The Freshmen, too, get in the groove. The Sophomores and Iuniors work like bees, Earning money for their senior year. And the Seniors work even harder, Work like beavers in the fall Working for the nice Spring day When they will pack up their wigwams, Put away their books and studies, And make the trip to Washington. See the President and the White House, See New York, the Empire State. And when the Seniors return home again The rest of the school hears of the trip. And still behind them beats the river, Beats the rushing Sandy River. In Iune when sunshine heats the land There will be a joyful day. The day of Graduation here at last The end of the Ladder of Success. The Seniors finally say farewell To the school they loved so much. But still the river they will hear Beating upon the sandy banks. For never fear, they will be back. Back to the shores of Mussul Unsquit, To the roaring Sandy River.

We waited while the men removed the tree from the road and then we continued on our way. We crawled along at fifteen miles an hour for many miles. The rain came pouring down in sheets, and trees were bending toward the ground. There were very few cars on the road other than our own. Everyone else was safely at home. As we were going over the Massachusetts turn- pike, a tremendous gust of wind blew down on us and tore the windshield-wipers from our car. We crept along, although the road could not be seen at times. Finally we came to a filling station. We stopped here to buy a new windshield-wiper for the car. The plate glass window had been blown from the station and was scattered all over the road. After we got the car going again, we stopped at a Howard Iohnson restaurant for lunch. The rain had stopped by this time, but the wind con- tinued to blow. In the restaurant the waitress told us they had nothing but sandwiches. This was because the electricity had gone off and no other food could be cooked. The ice cream had all melted and the drinking water was gone. While we were there, we were told that they could not wash dishes be- cause of lack of water. Also they were running out of bread for sandwiches. When we had finished our lunch we started on our way again. When we reached Portland, we discovered that the gas stations were not working. Our gas gauge said 'iemptyfi We finally found a station where they were pumping gas by a separate motor. After leaving Portland, the worst of the storm was over. We could see where 'K Carol U had been. There were trees scattered all along the highway, signs were blown down, and leaves were all over the road. We arrived safely home that night, but it was one experience that I shall never forget. Shirley Downs QUITE AN ESCAPADE! Iust how the topic of going to the island came about I don't remember. But I do know that is where we ended up in a terrible escapade. Rather precipitately Peggy and I climbed down the side of the cliff to the beach. The way was steep now, but assisting each other we finally arrived on the sand a little out of breath. The beach stretched on much further than one could see, a pale golden carpet, divided by a narrow gully, where uneven platforms of rock with flowing streams of salt water from the ocean created tiny lakes and rivulets. Having descended the wearisome cliff we wan- dered along the ledges for a while until finding a comfortable surface of clean sand on a broad ledge. Using the cliff for a backrest Peggy sank wearily down. Never having been here before, she tired easily from the seven miles of numerous rocks and ledges we had come over. There was less wind here and an excellent scenic view so I sank down beside her. It was very quiet and restful and I had nearly gone to sleep when I heard the murmur of low voices. Litemry Turning to my left I saw two Italian fishermen coming toward us. They were talking in excited tones, holding up shells polished and shining, evidently trying to attract our attention. Peggy, startled from a drowsy sleep, awoke at the sound of their voices. She leaped to her feet and now catching sight of the fishermen, with an exclamation of terror, started running. I merely called out to her reassuringly, as I had been here before and seen the men working. Knowing that they would not hurt her I called again. The ledges of rock were sharp and Peggy, not heeding my call, stumbled on. Her cry rang out as she fell into a six-foot ravine. I ran after her and tried desperately to get her out. Not succeeding, I knew something had to be done, one of her arms was injured quite badly, maybe broken. I called to the two fishermen, they came immediately, pulling Peggy out of the ravine and depositing her safely on a smooth piece oi ledge. The men returned immediately to their work after we had thanked them. We decided we had better get back to the boat and start home 'before any more misfortune could befall us. Iudith Pingree BE HAPPY If things don't go right and everything is wrong, Iust be happy and sing a little song. If you're the one that is always on the wrong side of the track, Get out at onceg don't live your life in a sack. If you,re unhappy when it rains and rains, Be happy, don't wake up with a lot of pains. If you ever get broke and don't have any money, Inst get up and think of something funny. And your honeypie goes and leaves you, Iust Find another and don't be blue. And if it ever happens that you have nothing to eat, Donlt go away thinking you're beat. Iust remember that some day the sky will be blue! And your honeypie will be thinking of you. And life is not always full of sweet things, Go find your honeypie and give her a ring. So be happy and gay, And nothing bad will happen all through the day. Shirley Hubbard ,35- Litemry FIRST AGAIN! It was two days before the senior ball and Sandra Cole began to get worried. No one had asked her to the senior ball yet, and it didn't look as if they were going to. Sandra came down to the kitchen to wait for her father so she could ride to school. As usual father started the questions, L'Where,s that boy that always used to drive you to school? U Ujim Smithim Sandra asked. Oh, I guess he's been too busy, Daddyf' But Sandra knew that wasn,t the reason Iim had just seemed to drop her. She had always seemed popular at school and her mother and father thought that she was. She just couldn't under- stand it. What Sandra did, the others followed. Sandra thought maybe if she should be extra nice to lim, there was still a chance he might ask her. She was in deep thought about this when her mother asked the question, Whois taking you to the ball, dear? H Sandra just looked at her mother, then at her father. Oh Mother, donit ask such questions. She probably wants to keep it a secret and surprise us, spoke up her father. Sandra breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at her mother. On the way to school Sandra sat in silence, only speaking when she had to. At the corner her father let her out and waved goodby as she ran up the sidewalk. In the library she met jim who smiled as she came in. Maybe this is my chance, U thought Sandra, I'1l be really nice. l' They talked in low tones and when lim Walked her to class nothing had been said about the ball and Sandra didn't think there would be anything said from Iim either. At lunch she met the girls who talked about nothing but the senior ball. Like Sandra, some of them hadn't been asked either and said they'd simply die if someone didn't pretty soon. L' If someone doesnit ask me, N spoke Betty, I'm going to ask themli' The idea suddenly hit Sandra. Suppose she could do that? She didnit think anyone would find out. After school Sandra walked slowly home. Her mother was in the kitchen when she arrived. She just couldnlt keep it to herself any longer so she told her mother the truth. Mrs. Cole said the same thing that Sandra had heard Betty say. Isnit there anyone you could ask, dear? Sandra thought of a few boys and suddenly she thought of Bob Southern. He was very shy but she didn't care as long as she went with someone. Her mother finally convinced her to call Bob so Sandra dialed his number. Sandrais heart began beating fast and her legs felt all shaky. All too soon she heard his voice. I-Iello,', he said. U Bob, this is Sandra Cole, I'm calling to see if youid like to take me to the senior ball. 'i Sandra waited for the answer which seemed long in coming. That's very nice of you, Sandraf, came the answer, 'ibut I've got to go to sort of a family party. H Oh, I see, came the reply. H Thanks anyway, Sandra. ii You're welcome, ii she said and hung up slowly. Sandra just looked at her mother and burst into tears. Something will 'turn out soon, dear, I'm sure, soothed Mrs. Cole. Sandra dried her eyes and walked slowly up the stairs to her room. She got through the rest of the week but she didn't know how. Still, no one had asked her and she knew now they wouldn't. The big night came all too soon. At the supper table she didnit seem hungry so she excused her- self and Went to her room. She got out her new dress and sat on the bed just looking at it. Sandra, H it was her father, can I come in? H She let him in. Sandra, will you go to the senior ball with me? U her father asked solemnly. She had rather drop dead! But how could she tell him 'K no i' and hurt his feelings. Oh Daddy, U she said almost in tears, 'ilid love to. i' So Sandra went to the ball with her father. Everyone jumped to th-e conclusion that Sandra had done it again. ...36.. No wonder she hadn't told them! It seemed Sandra could get away with anything. Probably next year others would follow the cute idea. just as always she was the H First Again! Lorraine Baston THE LAST LAUGH It was a hot day in Iune, 1950. We had all come out from swimming and my two brothers and I raced for the boat. My older brother, Don, reached the boat first. Can't we use the boat? asked Dickg you had it yesterday. That's too bad, H replied Don, I got it first and lim going to use it. H Why not be fair about it? 'l I asked, Let us have a turn. H My brother only laughed and pushed the boat out into the water. Our Aunt and Uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Holman, left us and went to the house. Well, what are we going to do? I' asked Dick disgustingly. We plotted a few minutes and then cut off through the bushes. Dick stopped at the edge of the thicket, but I continued on. A few minutes later Holman's phone rang and I asked in a muf- fled voice, Is Don there? If so, Ild like to speak to him. H 'SI-Ie's out on the lake, my aunt replied. I'11 wait,,, I said, but please hurry, this is important. She left and I hung up the receiver, thanked our neighbors, and rushed back to where Dick was. Dick and I watched through the bushes as Don tied the boat and rushed toward the house. 'L Come on, whispered Dick as he started off at a dead run towards the boat, uWe'll hx him yet. 3' We were just shoving off when Don re- turned. He cursed at us a few minutes and then went back to the house. A while later we were slowly drifting in towards shore and a shady spot when the boat suddenly lurched and we both went in sputtering. We came up just as Don rowed off laughing, U Well, whose turn is it to laugh now? Dick and I had our full clothing on and were well exhausted when we reached shore. I turned around half expecting Dick to start cursing, but he only grinned and said, Well, we'll get the best Litemry of him yet, he's out there in the hot sun with only a bathing suit on. M I couldn't help but grin. Phillip Packard HURRICANE CAROL CREATES A DISTURBANCE Although we all experienced the fury of Carolis winds this summer, not many of us saw the dev- astation caused by her in the other New England states, especially Rhode Island. I spent a week this summer at a church camp in Rhode Island located about ten miles west of Providence. This proved to be an eventful week - the week of hurricane Carol's visit. Most of us werenit very concerned about what was happening outside the camp at the time so we hadnlt heard much about the approaching storm. Then it struck us with the first of its fury! It started with a slow shower and then the wind came up and the rain beat down thicker and fast- er. At the time the rain started, all the campers were inside the main lodge having classes. This was about 9:30 A. M. By l0:30 the rain was driving down in bucket fulls and the wind was blowing terribly hard. Not many had come from their cabins that morning prepared for rain, so few of us had rain- coats. As it was about five hundred yards to our cabins, the faculty decided we would eat dinner right there in the main lodge rather than going to the dining hall, which was four hundred yards away. We had a hot lunch and because the hurri- cane continued, we spent the afternoon in the lodge, singing songs and playing folk games. About 3:30 P. M. the winds began to die down and by 4:30 the rain had ceased falling. Although the wind had blown down three trees and the rain had caused the lake to rise consider- ably, the hurricane had really done very little damage to the camp grounds. Of course we had lost our electricity and since our water was pumped to us from a well on the campus by means of an electric pump, we had no running water. Parts of Rhode Island, we heard later, had been hit harder than any other states. Many of the counselors had families in these stricken spots so left camp to be of aid to them. Upon returning they brought back reports of the hurricanels dam- age, but it was impossible to imagine just how bad the damage really was until I saw it with my own -37- Litemvy eyes, on the way back to Maine. Trees along the highway had been knocked over as if a giant had tread on them. Many homes were damaged and Hood waters had destroyed much property. Although, as I have said, we weren't effected much by the hurricane at the camp we had lost our power and waiter for the remainder of the week. We got along Fine, though, for we lugged out water from the lake, except drinking water which had to be hauled from a spring some distance away. We had our services at night by candle light. It seemed much more impressive this way. On the way home, I passed through Massachu- setts, New Hampshire and Maine and though much damage had been caused, Rhode Islandis seacoast cities were the hardest hit. A quiet week at camp turned out to be a week of thrills and excitement. Ierry Lambert A SWIMMING EXPERIENCE As the dark water closed over my head for the second time, I slowly began to lose all of my senses. It strangely seemed as though a voice deep inside of me kept saying, K' You must reach that rock on the river bank. 'i My fleeting strength was giving out and my hoarse breath was coming in sharp, short, gasps. This all started one hot, sultry, summer day when one of the girls called me on the phone and said, 'A Gosh, it's awfully hot today. Letis go swimming down to the trotting path. H I agreed readily and within a half hour we had borrowed our brothers' bicycles and were on our way to the river. The water was so cool on our warm bodies that we almost seemed to sizzle. We swam for over an hour and then decided that we had better start home, but foolishly, I decided to swim over to the rock across the river once more. I didn't stop to rest before I started because I didnlt want to waste any time. In the end I wasted more. When I was in the middle of the river, the current seemed to be getting stronger so I had to swim harder. I was getting very tired and my breath was coming harder. All at once all of my strength seemed to leave me and my pounding head went below the water. As I came up I seemed to have a great burst of strength and I swam some more. I wanted someone to help me but everybody thought that I was only joking. I could see the rock about two yards away but to me it seemed two miles. I went under the rushing water again and everything went terribly black. When I came back to my senses again, I found myself clinging desperately to the rock that had been my destination. I pulled myself up onto the rock and lay there resting for about fifteen minutes. After I felt strong enough to swim back I made a wide dive off the rock and swam back to the shore with no difficulty. After that experience I will never again swim any long distance when I am tired. Gloria Huff TV Eyes are bagging, mouths are yawning, It's very plain to see That somewhere in our neighborhood Someone has TV. We stayed out late on Sunday night And the night before, But though weire tired, we donit mind, We go right back for more. There are so many programs Itis often hard to know, When to shut the darn thing off, Or when itis time to go. There are shows of sports and music, And shows of mystery, We should use the time we waste To study history. When Finally we must leave, Itis really time to gog What do you think will come on next? Of course, another good show! Iean Toothaker A WILD NIGHT Nothing is more depressing than going from a warm cozy room into a drizzling, muddy, gloomy night for a long walk home. Iudith and I had gone over to Mary's to get a package for my Mother. We had spent the even- -38.- ing listening to the radio, dancing, and popping corn. We were just starting home. We're not usually frightened, but it must have been the night, or the gruesome stories We had heard on the radio a while before, for whenever we passed a dark piece of road, we began to imagine the things that might happen, recalling all the stories we had heard. uludy, do you hear anything? I said in a whisper. She said, HI thought I did, but I thought you'd think I was dreamingf' After crossing the second bridge approaching the corner, we were undecided whether to sing the latest hit song and keep up our nerve, or to creep along noiselessly lest we arouse some horrible band of cut-throats. We decided in favor of the singing, squared our shoulders, pulled our new, blue, rain hats down over our heads and marched on. We had gone only a little way when we were now sure we heard footsteps behind us. We both looked at each other in fright. I said, Iudy, letls make a run for it. She said, No, just walk naturally, until we reach the corner and then we'll run as fast as we can for home. M We quickened our steps, however, our followers also quickened theirs. We tried going more slowly, but still the footsteps were there. We heard a splash, as someone stepped in a puddle behind us, and we heard angry mutterings from the person following us. If we can only reach the Main Street, Iudy groaned. Finally, we could stand it no longer and we began to run. We heard our pursuer or pursuers running along behind us. Our feet were wet, and our rain coats were flapping, but we were deter- mined not to stop. Our pursuer was gaining slowly, coming nearer and nearer. A million thoughts rushed through my head. I wondered how my family would feel when they found me submerged in a dark, cold, mud puddle. I wondered if such horrible thoughts were going through Iudyls head. I felt someone grab me. Everything would be over now. I let out a blood curdling scream. '4 What ails you girls, can,t you wait a minute? I've been chasing you ever since you left the house. Peggy, here is the package your Mother wanted! H Margaret Eustis Litemry LEARNING TO DRIVE I just sat there staring at the little white paper I held in my hand. On that paper it said that I was permitted to operate a car on the main high- way without anyone with me. The policeman was getting out of the car now and as he was, he said, 'K You are on your own. Donlt take that piece of paper for granted. You may lose it sometime. There are rules for driving just as there are rules for basketball games. 'I It all started about a year ago. I was getting sick of walking or riding my bicycle so I asked my boy friend if he would teach me to drive a car. He squirmed a little but said, A' Yes. U He told me what to do, so I started the car, let out my clutch and pushed on the gas. Thank the Lord no one was around during my first lesson. I think I jumped five feet at a time. My next lesson was not so bad. I started off smoothly this time. I drove at night most of the time instead of in the day. I was getting used to the lights now and I drove only 20 miles an hour. I drove quite often up until snow fall and then I thought I would have to stop. But I drove all winter long. My fatheris car insurance came due in Iuly so he said I could get my license then. But some how I got my application in April. I sent it in and was told to be in Farmington in five days. I had been studying my rules for sometime but it still didn,t seem a long enough time. It seemed as though all I did was study rules and drive. The only thing that really bothered me was stop- ping on the hill. I practiced that as many times as I came to a hill. Then April 22 came. I got up and got ready to go to Farmington. I almost backed out twice. When I got there it was five minutes early. We sailed out in the hall. The man checked the car registration, Dickie's license, and mine. There were four other boys and another woman besides me. The man gave us a paper with ten questions on it. Under each question were four answers. We were to pick out the right one. After answer- ing the questions, the man gave me an eye test. After passing both exams, he told me to go to the car and wait. The policeman checked my lights, brakes, horn, etc. Then I took my road test. I was so scared that my knees were shaking. After it was all over I didn't see why I Was so scared in the first place. lean Toothaker -39- New York'S 'trademark y25dY K4 Cxfewbody 9 M95 Over LO0lnh 11, Gardens at Mt.Vernon M Ike?

M. on Friday, April 15 for Washington, D. C. We traveled by cars driven by Mr. Parlin, Rev. Smith, Mr. Gulezian and jerry Lambert, as far as Boston. From Boston the seniors of Strong left with other senior groups by buses which took us to New York - arriving at 6:30 A. M. the next morning - Saturday. After riding all night - with no sleep - we arrived at the Piccadilly Hotel. Our first tour began at 8 A. M. and consisted of a three hour program at Radio City Music Hall and a trip to the roof of the R. C. A. building. Here we had pictures taken of the class. At 2 o'clock we began our tour to the Statue of Liberty. From the hotel we traveled to the ferry by subway. This was, for many seniors who had never traveled by subway, an exciting trip. Saturday evening we visited the R. C. A. build- ing, where we were shown through the television and radio studios and the control rooms. Sunday morning we left New York for York- town, Penn., by bus. During the day we visited Independence Hall at Philadelphia and then went on to Valley Forge. Upon arrival at Yorktown, Penn. we were assigned rooms and had the even- ing free. Some of us went to the movies and others attended the dance held in the hotel. We left Yorktown early Monday morning and traveled toward Washington. On the way we stop- ped at Gettysburg where we took a conducted tour around the Gettysburg Battlefields. This was an excellent tour and we had a very enjoyable con- ductor. From Gettysburg we journeyed on to the Skyline Caverns. Here we were able to purchase souvenirs and went down into the beautiful caverns. After leaving the Skyline Caverns we traveled directly to Washington, D. C. arriving about 5 P. M. at the Ebbitt Hotel. As the evening was tfenior Clam Trib free many of us Walked around Washington to see the city under the beautiful lights. Tuesday morning we first toured the Bureau of Printing and Engraving where we saw our bills being printed and then went on to the F. B. I. building. The White House was also one of the high-lights of the morning tour. After dinner we Went to the Supreme Court Building, the U. S. Capitol, and the Franciscan Monastery. In the evening a Moon-light Cruise up the Potomac River was enjoyed by all schools. On Wednesday, a very warm, sunny day, we visited Arlington National Cemetery, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, George Washington Na- tional Masonic Memorial and Mount Vernon. After lunch we went by bus to Annapolis Where we saw the Midshipmen on dress parade. The evening was free for movies, a baseball game, or rest. Thursday We returned to New York by bus. The afternoon was spent shopping and in the even- ing we attended the Ringling Brothers-Barnum and Bailey Circus. At ll olclock we went to the Steve Allen TV Show. Friday morning some of us toured the beautiful U. N. building and later went to the baseball game. At 7:45 P. M. we went to the Perry Como TV show and left for Boston arriving at 6:30 Saturday morning. The drivers who took us to Boston were waiting to bring us back to Strong. Dick Chandler also brought some of the seniors home from Boston. During the trip we traveled with the Saugus, Mass. group whom we enjoyed being with very much. Everyone had a glorious time with no mis- haps, other than running out of gas on the turn- pike, and we know it will be a lasting memory for all of us. We thank Mr. and Mrs. Gulezian for chaperoning us and also thank those people who furnished transportation to Boston. .-.41..

Again this year we won the North Franklin League as well as the Portland Press Herald-Tele- gram League. The trophy which was presented to us by the President of the League, Mr. Mailloux, was presented to our coach and co-captains at the Lions' Basketball Banquet. The trophy now stands beside last year's in our trophy case at the high school. The Lions' Club gave each member of the team an emblem showing the Lions, Club insignia. The team wishes to thank them for the emblems and the fine supper they served us. The final word of tribute should go to Mrs. Mailloux who has been our coach these past two successful years. The girls who participated this year in basket- ball were: Eunice Voter, Marie Pillsbury, Mary Anne Reynolds, Barbara Peary, Margaret Eustis, Birdena Savage, Iudy Pingree, Betty Espeaignnette, Iudy Lambert, Iane Eustis, Norma Peary, Barbara Howes, Dorothy Hutchins, Iudy Clinch, Lorelie Hurl, Pat Gordon, Pat Newell, Betty Haines, Celia Huff, Gail Bickford, Phyllis Doble, Iune Bubier.

We did very well considering. There were only eight out of twelve players able to play due to the fact that several were home with the Hu. Our second game was with Rangeley. We pre- dicted competition and we received it in full measure. Burt in the last few minutes we claimed victory. The next games were with New Sharon and We won the game with Phillips, the going was rough, but with a few flings and tosses we made it. Our last two games we played with Kingfield and Phillips hereg and we are proud to have the title, H Champs, U for the second year in succession. Our captains were Shirley Hubbard and Norma Brackley.

AFTERNOON I come to an orchard-blossoms blowing On twisted branches, trees inclined By wind, all lunging west and throwing Their shadows parallel behind.

George Dillon -49- Skiing Softball Track TRACK Kneeling left to right: S. Flood, B. Richards, M. White, K. Bunnell, W. Enman. Second row standing left to right: S. Richards, W. Hunter, Coach Mr. Folsom, I. Lambert, L. Scammon. The track team, which has just been organized for this year, will endeavor to better the perform- ance of last year,s squad. The team expects to take part in the Franklin County Track Meet at Wilton, and to arrange two or three dual meets with nearby schools during the spring season. VVe feel that we have boys on the squad this year who can offer contention in several of the track and Held events. We are not forgetting Ierry Lam-bertis fine performance in the half-mile race at Farmington last spring. We are hopeful of a better than average season for the squad this year. SKIING This past winter saw the second season of suc- cessful skiing on the part of a small group of Strong boys, Charles Bates, Peter Norris, Charles Huff, Lewis Scammon, Boyd Richards, Sherry Richards, Warren Hunter, Dale Hardy, Gordon Probert, Stephen Peary, Richard Hutchins, were among those who participated this year. The team was barely nosed out in a dual meet with Stratton, held here at Strong and took third place in the Wil- ton Academy Winter Carnival. At the Class U B H State Championships held at Andover, Maine, the team took sixth place. We are justly proud of our boys, since they had very little actual competitive skiing. We hope that the ski program will be continued another year. SOFTBALL This year a total of nineteen girls have signed up to participate in softball, These are as follows: Elizabeth Espeaignnette, Eunice Voter, Ianne Hage- lin, Harriet Moody, Gail Enman, Fern Currier, Norma Peary, Ioyce Hinkley, Phyllis Doble, Ruth Kennedy, Dorothy Hutchins, Barbara Howes, Patricia Gordon, Iane Eustis, Betty Haines, Peggy Eustis, Mary Ann Reynolds, Iudith Lambert and Barbara Peary. The girls will be coached by Mrs. Mailloux, and will probably play Phillips and King- field but do not expect to carry a long, hard schedule. We do this more for recreation than as a type of competitive athletics. Baseball BOYS' BASEBALL Kneeling left to right: D. Clark, L. Snell, W. Enman, L. Gordon, I. Lambert, S. Flood, E. Allen, W. Hunter, L. Badershall. Second row standing left to right: Coach Mr. Burrill, A. Heald, C. Penney, M. Gleason, H. Iackson, M. White, B. Richards, K. Bunnell, I. Lambert, S. Richards, D. Reed, C. Snell. At this time, with our yearbook just going to press, it is difficult to tell what type of fortunes we will have this coming season. We will mention, however, last year,s record which all of us were very pleased about. We had a large turnout of candidates for the team, and with Mr. Buxton as coach, we went to work with ardent zeal. At the end of a fast and furious season, we found ourselves in second place in the North Franklin League, but our interest was directed toward Uhe State Class S Championship. We missed this goal, but did manage to finish runner-up for the Class S U Championship in Western Maine. Without the battery combination of Pingree and Reynolds, it is highly doubtful that we would have reached even these heights of success. Here are the results of the games that led us into the runner-up spot: Strong 8 Andover 5 Strong 4 Phillips 2 Strong 10 Stratton 4 Strong I6 Litchfield I In the Western Maine Final, played at Augusta under lights, we were nosed out in a heartbreaker by Bristol High School. We did feel hampered in this by playing under lights for the first time. We do not know what this season will bring, but we have gained some new material in our Fresh- man Class and will do the very best we can. BIRCHES When I see birches bend to left and right Across the line of straighter, darker trees, I like to think some boyls been swinging them. But swinging doesnit bend them down to stay. Ice storms do that. H Robert Frost -51- Cloeerleaclerr This year the cheer girls were elected by the student body. The following girls were chosen to lead them in cheering at the games: Eunice Voter, Iudith Clinch, lane Eustis, Patricia Gordon, Lor- raine Baston, Patricia Sullivan, substitute Eliza- beth Espeaignnette, and captain Iudith Lambert. Sandra Wood from the third grade was an attrac- tive addition to our squad. During the season lane Eustis left the squad and Patricia Sullivan moved to St. Louis. Because of a sprained ankle Iudith Clinch had to be replaced in the Class S Tournament by Ianne Hagelin. ln spite of all these setbacks this year's cheer squad has been an exceptionally good one. They intend to cheer during the baseball season as they feel that the boys should not only be backed up in basketball but in all of their sports. The Iunior High cheerleaders squad consisted of Norma Brackley, Lucretia Pillsbury, Rocky Lee- man, and Clarice Mitchell. These girls did a marvelous morale-building job for our grammar school team, and We look forward to the time when they may all serve us as members of the senior squad. -52- HIGH SCHOOL CHEERING SQUAD Kneeling left to right: I.

The Indians are trotting in toward the bright Ere, from all around the camp - from teepees and behind trees. They are beginning to form a rather large circle where they are to perform the 6 DANCE OF THE OLD SPIRITS. 'I Everyone is here to Show off his costume. Now that the dance is over Chief Principal N slowly stirs the fire to burn brighter, and as the smoke rises it is a signal for the Indians to break up into groups. As they start to group you can recognize a few of the faces. Now Chief Principal is going around with a piece of birch bark while everyone writes his name on it. Now he is passing the birch bark to you to sign your name. As you glance through the list you see and recognize many of your fellow Indian friends. You see what each and everyone is doing. Many of them are still in the same tribe they used to be, while others have moved to other tribes. As the list is finished it is to be put into the annual birch bark scroll, 'K The Mussul Unsquit.

Last fall all journalistic-minded Sophomores, Iuniors and Seniors met with our new advisor, Mr. Daniel Gulezian, to get our school paper under way. We had continual trouble with our mimeograph machine and found it difficult to get the paper out on deadlines. We hope that in the near future we can earn money enough to buy a new machine. We wish to thank Mr. Gulezian for his help as an adult advisor and our thanks also go to Mr. Burrill for his help typing and printing the paper. The staff is as follows: Edirol' , .....,,.......... .

At the beginning of the year the Glee Club was again organized under the direction of Mrs. Knox and Mrs. Steward. Forty-one high school students ioined. The following officers were elected for the year: President, Ierry Lambertg Vice President, Eunice Voter, Secretary and Treasurer, Shirley Downs. We furnished specialty singing between the acts of the three-act play, 6' The Skeleton Walks, for the one-act play contest, and for the County Public Speaking Contest. On December 22, we braved the snow and cold to sing Christmas Carols through the streets of Strong. Our big event of the year came on the 25th of April, when we sang at the Sandy Andy Music Festival at Wilton. This is the first time Strong has participated in this Festival and it proved to be a delightful experience. We have spent much of our time this year practicing the songs for this Festival. We were invited to furnish a musical program at the County Teachers, Convention in May. We have enjoyed our Wednesday afternoon of music, and we deeply appreciate the work and time that Mrs. Knox and Mrs. Steward have contributed to us, for a bigger and better Glee Club. -64- Bmw' BAND Sitting left to right: I. Lambert, S. Pingree, G. Probert, B. Richards. Standing left to right: Director Mrs. Steward, P. Norris, S. Richards. Our band consisted of ten members at the begin- ning of the school year. A very small but promis- ing group. Under the direction of Mrs. Steward and help from Mr. Mailloux, We met each Thurs- day afternoon to rehearse. We realized the benefits of our musical training by attending the composite band concert held in Wilton on March 25th. This is the fourth con- secutive festival-concert We have attended. The band members Wish to thank all who made this event possible. The members participating were: Sewall Pingree, Iames Lambert, Sheridan Richards, and Boyd Richards. We are very sorry to lose one senior member this spring but there are several students who are ready to enter the band Which, with proper direction should make the Strong High Band bigger and better than ever. l N gli ei 1 - - TT fig'-glif-Eifgzlal lpl -65 -. .ftudent Council STUDENT COUNCIL Sitting left to right: L.

The Student Council is an organization made up of class presidents and representatives elected by the various classes. One representative from the 7th and 8th grades also meets with the high school members. The group meets periodically with Mr. Mailloux, the faculty advisor. Matters concerning class activities and scheduling of con- cessions at basketball games are discussed and decided by the Student Council. The Student Council also makes suggestions for improving the appearance of our school and adopts rules pro- viding for the care of corridors and lockers. This year the Student Council has taken for its special job the drawing up of a constitution which will include the requirements necessary for a student to earn an award or letter in athletics and various activities. The officers for the past year were: President, Marshall Stevens, Secretary and Treasurer, Eunice Voter. Dmmmfzkr The Footlighters Club met September 16, 1954, with Mr. Parlin, our dramatics advisor.
