SA00! 7956 manage POWL flie jgrincipa, jr you .gyeniorx This yearbook is a written and pictorial monu- ment of your senior year at Strong High School- it should remind you of both the happy and un- happy hours in the new school- it should remind you of all your hours of wrangling, bickering, and just plain arguing about various class issues - and it should remind you of your teachers and the human situations involved, and most of all you will remember the activities and the friendly compan- ionship of your classmates and school gatherings. Yes, this book is a monument! It is a monument to a class who decided to cast aside their differ- ences and make a profit for a change. You know that anyone can produce a yearbook at a loss but with careful planning and the help of friends you Seniors have been able to show a profit. At the end of each day be sure to say a few kind words to someone. In this way you will always be able to cast aside your differences and you will begin each day with neither anger nor malice in your heart. ROBERT W. FIFIELD Principal .Z you parenfar When you First bring your child to the primary teacher, you have no idea of the kind of a person he or she will be in years to come. The wise parent will give his child a lot of love, under- standing, education, faith, and companionship through the years -and then hope for the best. The school has tried to give understanding and education. The other values come -best from the Church and the Horne. These are good boys and girls. Help them stay that way!! stuff an an 'ie it In Q 5 5' 'fig 555555 9 y ,gg seas- -- . '- K lr i i l l RALEICH L. FOLSOM DANIEL S.

A DAY AT THE FARM One day when there was no school l went down to visit my grammie and grampa on the farm. My friend and I went sliding on Flying Saucers. In the snow we made hills to slide over. When we hit the hills we went very fast. We went tobogganing. The snow flew up into our faces so we put our kerchiefs over them. That worked pretty well. About the third time we went down the hill we hit a bump. Then we went over a hill. We still had our kerchiefs over our faces. Then we hit the fence! We knocked two boards off. We knocked one about two feet away from the fence and the other one fell straight. We could have been seriously hurt, but luckily we were not. Ianice Lambert Grade 4 Sitting left to right: L.

We were very glad to see them. The entire chorus sang specialties between the acts of the plays and at the Elimination Speak- ing Contest. Our big event of the year was our participation in the Franklin County Music Festi- val at Iay, April 3. Mr. Lloyd Constantine, the music director at Iay, came up March 15, to help us with our music which was greatly appreciated. We all enjoyed and benefited from our experience this year. Band Our school band, under the very capable leader- ship of Mr. Burchard Flagg, has approximately 20 members this year. They have done remarkably well. Their first public appearance was on April 3 at Grange Meeting. If they continue their fine work we will have a band of which we can be proud. ramafica The Footlighters Club met with Mr. Parlin and a new slate of oHficers was elected at the end of the school term in 1955.

Some say foreigners come to rob us of our land But don't they really lend a helping hand? They come from places such as Russia and Spain But we're all foreigners so I've heard claim. We say we are Americans because this is where we were born. I don't think we stop to think where our ancestors came from. America is claimed the land of the free. If so, then why not let it be? We should all unite and try hard to make A better land for everyone's sake. Don't look down on those of a different race. Let them come and take their place.

We have the United Nations, our president has con- ferences with other world leaders, that is all very fine, but what else are we doing toward real peace? Surely, building H-bombs and larger armies isn't working toward peace. Now is it? You just stop and think. Of course we aren't the only country building military power. Russia is too. We say that Communism is causing all the trouble, we say we want to stop it. But can force do it? Iust what has any war solved? Nothing. America is supposed to be a Christian country. Don't you think if we in America lived a really Christian life and followed the teachings of Christ, we'd be better off? Communism can't be fought with guns and bombs, we've got to show them a better- way of life. Christianity. I think if we in this country really tried, that world peace would be on its way to reality. Deanne Stevens ,Q A 1-of 26 WHY I LIKE OUR HOT LUNCH PROGRAM I like our hot lunch program. I think the pupils of Strong are very fortunate to be able to obtain such a fine meal for such a reasonable sum. The meals are well planned. The menues vary from day to day. They are well balanced in food value, so that the food which is best for the pupil is served. Milk is always served with each meal. The meals are tasty, hot, and well served. Anyone who wishes may have seconds. Certainly, at no other place, in a restaurant or at home, could one secure such a line, well bal- anced meal for as low a price. It is very convenient to be able to buy a good dinner in the school building, especially for the pupils who live too far away from the school to be able to go home for lunch, also for those who travel to school each day -by bus. It is not only more enjoyable and convenient for the student, but it is also a big help for the mother as she docs not have to put up lunches for her children. As many students as possible, who cannot afford to pay for a hot lunch, are given an opportunity to work for their lunch. It means a great deal to these students and to their parents. The students of Strong should feel thankful and be appreciative for the opportunity of securing an inviting school lunch at a low cost. Norma Peary HOW I WOULD SOLVE THE JUVENILE DELINQUENCY PROBLEM The teenage crime of today shows that the world is getting worse every day. When the pilgrims came to America to enjoy religious freedom, they had a fear of God and read their Bibles and taught their children the wise truths that are fast being forgotten. The American home of today is not what it once was. There has been a departure from God and the Bible. I think the main cause of Iuvenile Delinquency is just this, Romans 3:18, There is no fear of God before their eyes. The children today hardly know there is a God because they are not taught to read the Bible and believe it. Some know nothing of difference between right and wrong. Once in America's history, there was in the schools, the best book of all, the Bible. It was read and taught to children so they feared God and did no evil like there is in our day. Today the Bible is left out of most places entirely. I believe that if the children of today knew more of their Bibles and about God, there would be less crime and more knowledge that would be of great value to them. Gloria Latin MY PETS One day I was playing out in the yard. I heard a howl and came running. When I got there I saw a dog chasing my cat. The cat ran up a tree. When he was running up the tree a piece of bark fell and scared the dog and he ran away. After that the cat came down and I let him in the house. The next day I was playing out doors and I saw the same dog chasing my other cat and I ran out and scared the dog away. Sharon Toothaker Grade 4 Mrs. Cook: I may be mistaken, but I thought you were talking during class. Melvin: You must be mistaken, I never talk in my sleep. THE OUTSIDER Today as I walked down the street, I saw a boy. He was probably fifteen or sixteen but his face made him look older. He looked as if he had seen a lot of trouble. He seemed to have no friends at all. He reminded me of the days when we were fighting in Korea. In my company there was a young man named Tony. He was always called the outsider but he seemed to be a likable guy. Tony was a lonely guy who never had had half a chance in life. His parents were killed when he was very small, so he had been brought up in various foster homes. Tony had grown up with an inferiority complex because of this and the fact that he was smaller than the ordinary person of his age. At the age of eighteen, he had enlisted in the Army and was placed in my company. My outfit was a part of the U. S. Infantry, one of the tough- est places for a young kid to be. No one paid much attention to him and in turn he never tried to make any friends. All he did in his spare time was to eat peanuts fwhen he could get them, and do crossword puzzles. When war broke out in Korea and the U. S. offered to send troops, our outfit was one of the first to be shipped over. Before many months passed we were near the scene of actual combat. One day we found ourselves being sent out with the troops to fight. Most of the men were pretty excited about the thought of being in combat. Others wished that they were back at home with their sweethearts and wives. On Tony's expres- sionless face you could see no emotion that would tell which way he felt about being sent into battle. After a few hours of lighting near the battle- front, we found that the enemy seemed to be a little stronger than we were. We began to retreat. After we had settled down for a few minutes I tried to contact the other outfits in our vicinity but we could not get anything in the way of re- sponse. Soon we found that we were cut off from everyone. Being the commanding officer in charge of Company C , I figured that it was up to me to figure a way out of this mess we were in. We did not have enough supplies to last over more than one night away from the main camp. We were nearly surrounded by North Koreans so I would not send anyone back for help because it was too dangerous. Everyone in the outfit was getting pretty scared. We knew without anyone mentioning the fact that the North Koreans would close in on us as soon as it was good and light. It was just getting light in the eastern sky when we saw Companies B and D coming, slowly but surely, our way. With the help of Companies B and D we made it back to camp without major mishaps. As soon as I was alone with the other Com- manding Officers I asked how they got word that we were in difficulty. They told me that a man had been found by the guards who were patrolling the border of our camp and the man looked as if he might be one of the men from my outfit. I told them that I had not sent anyone back for aid because it was too dangerous a mission to send any man on. The Commanding Officer of the D Company said that the body was pretty well shot up and it would be hard to recognize him if he was from my company. They had figured that he was from my outfit because ours was the only one which had not returned to the camp. Guessing that we must be in trouble, Company B and Company D had volunteered to come in search of us. They went in the general direction that the dead man came from. I told them again that I had not sent a man for help. They told me that if I did not believe them to come and look at the corpse. I finally went to the spot that the 'body had been found and there was a man. Quite a small one at that. The body was really shot up and it was hard to recognize any features. Inst as I started to walk away from the place I saw a piece of paper. I stooped and picked it up and from what I saw I could guess who had res- cued us. On the piece of paper was part of a cross-word puzzle. No one else will ever know the identity of the man who so fearlessly went for aid for Company C but I will always have my idea who saved us. I hope that wherever Tony is now, he has found the happiness that he did not find in this world' Barbara Howes THE LITTLE OLD LADY In a little town called Mapleleaf, a little old lady of eighty lives all -by herself on the outskirts of town. A neighbor who lives a half mile away, drops in to see her a couple of times a day. The grocer is her only other visitor. She is an invalid and does all her daily duties from a wheel chair. The radio is a real comfort to her. She listens to it day after day. Knitting is another joy. She loves to sit and work different designs in and out among the yarn and listen to the clink of the needles. One cold windy evening as she was listening to the radio a special broadcast broke into the middle of her favorite program. An insane man had broken loose from the asylum in a nearby town. Everyone was to be on the lookout for this dan- gerous man! He had already broken into a store and stolen a gun and some ammunition. As she sat there listening to the clink of the knitting needles, she began to be uneasy. But she said to herself, Oh, it's probably all in ma head. That thar man is probably as sweet as a baby kit- ten! lust then she heard a thump, thump, thump on the back of her house. She thought, Oh, what shall I do? I can't get out. Nearly out of her mind she softly wheeled her- self into the bedroom. Then, merciful heavens! The thump, thump, thump grew louder. She locked the bedroom door. Feeling safer in the corner of the room with no window around her, she wheeled herself there. Across the room was the window where .a shadow kept moving back and forth with every thump. She decided that it was best to go to the window and see what the shadow was, so turning out the light, she made her way toward the win- dow. Slowly, slowly, slowly, she went forward. Her heart 'beat faster, faster, faster! As she cau- tiously looked out the window she saw a tree branch thumping on the side of the house. At the same moment, a blast came from the radio in the next room. Attention everybody! The dangerous man who was hiding in this area has been captured! The little old woman dropped her head on her arm and sobbed. I-Iow silly, she said, to think that someone would harm a foolish old lady like me. Lorelei Huff MY LIFE AFTER DEATH This is my story of Life After Death. I was a woman of thirty-five in Germany during the first World War. My husband was killed in action while in the war. We had only one child, a small boy of seven. After my husband was killed, I had to do some- thing to support my son. I worked in the capital building until I got pneumonia and died. I am not sure what happened to my son, but I think my mother and father took him. After I was buried I could slowly feel my soul change. Then one day all the newly buried souls were given tests to find out where we were going. I happened to get the best score and so I went to heaven. Up there we all had our special things to do. The job I was assigned was all nightwork so I had to sleep during the day. I had to see that all the stars in the two dippers stayed in place. Also, once in a while, I had to create a shooting star. One night while causing a shooting star, I thought I saw a familiar looking soul polishing the Pearly Gate. I went over and spoke to him. It was my husband. We talked for a while, then Saint Peter came and told us to get back to work. That was the last I saw of him. I learned later that he had gone somewhere else. I'll say I'd been there about twenty years when I started getting weak. I was so weak, I could hardly push a star or replace it when one burned Out. Then a funny feeling hit me. I could hear a baby crying. Then I realized it was myself. I found out later I was in a small white house in Strong, Maine, U. S. A. Celia HuH A SMILE A smile is such a funny thing It wrinkles up your face. And when it's gone, you'l1 never find It's secret hiding place. DEEP-SEATED PROBLEM Men's clothes are full of pockets, And children's full of rips, But as my poundage rockets, My clothes are full of hips. PUBLIC CLOCKS They serve us by daytime, They serve us by nightimeg But many display Lime, That isn't the right time. HEALTH IN A POEM If you are late to bed and early to rise Then all through the day there'll be fog in your eyes. If you don't brush your teeth, they'll begin to decay And if you don't eat a good breakfast, you'll be hungry all day. If you don't do your chores, no allowances there'l1 be And if you don't do your homework, there'll be no T. V. So if you aren't healthy, you're lazy and not strong Think of this poem and make it a hit song. Gary Lisherness Grade 7 WINTER Winter is a wonderful sight With the white snow shining bright.
