EDITORIAL The world today Is In a turmoil unoaralled In its history. At no other tine has there been such chaos, hate, and bloodshed. ’■Then the victory Is won, what has this world to offer to the graduates of Its thousands of high schools and colleges? At first glance the situation seems dark and unattractive. But Is it really so? True, many of our friends an relatives have been Injured or killed and some of us, even before we reach manhood, may have to give our lives for our country. But after this horrible struggle for world supremacy is over and the mad dictators, who destroyed everything In their lust for rower, have been subdued, we believe the worlrt will hold a bright future for those who have the initiative and courage to go out and make their fortunes. It is a well-known fact that there Is going to be a shortage of engineers, doctors, teachers, and lawyers. The world will have to be rebuilt on a sound basis, and it is uo to our generation to do it. Any person who is offered the opportunity to go to some institution and study for a profession should be only too happy to accept it, for he will not only be providing for himself in the future, but will be preparing to make this a better world to live in. The future of our country depends upon the boys and girls who are now entering into manhood, and it is up to us to do the best possible work we can at school, on the farm, in the factory, in the office, or in the home so that we may fit ourselves for anything that may lie ahead. It Is the patriotic duty of every individual to be as well-trained as possible In whatever line of work he may choose to do. It is only through study and application, end having more knowledge than those that would destroy us, that we shall be able to survive and make the world safe for all freedom-loving people. 2 CONTENTS Editorial Page Dedication; Key to Alumni Pictures 4 Faculty Seniors Activities Atnletics Literary Section Art Humor Alumni: Title Pa6e Honor Roll Alumni Information Acknowledgment 3 DEDICATION With deep appreciation for what they are doing, dedicate this issue of the Cvl to all our Alumni who serving in our armed forces, lth the sincere hope this struggle nay he successfully concluded and that will soon return home.

She peered through glasses, and down her nose, At grinning faces and deadly foes. She cracked her ruler, loud and long, At last the mob was stilled. The teacher was a happy one, Her ambition now fulfilled. She tripped so lightly o'er the floor, Her bright blue eyes a-glowing. Again there rose a mighty roar, Her gosh-darned slip was showing.I Bob Axelby 12 ♦Axelby, Robert Bob Truly he is a man of parts', Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3, 4 A devotee of all the Arts.

We’ve put our childhood behind us, our new jobs to find, It's a hard task before us the scared world to bind. But it's up to us, Classmates, to do our ]evel best, To cover the wounds and let the tired earth rest. When the conflict is over they'll need lots of aid, To help put us back on the up-climbing grade. So let us be ready all Democracy to save, So we can walk like free men, not like slaves.' Marion Parsons '43 22 CLASS WILL We, the members of the Class of 1943 of Thomaston High School being of sound mind and body and having arrived at a time when it becomes expedient to make certain bequests and legacies, do ordain and proclaim the following to be our last will and testament to be executed in agreement with the provisions stated therein.

The Class of 1943 JT ?m Lb Class Prophecy Vogt's Vacation Village Vogt's Village, Arizona December 8, 1968 Dear Gene: We were sorry to hear you were unable to attend the twenty-fifth reunion of our class. And as you are the only member who cannot attend,we feel that perhaps you would like tc know what we are doing. Ey the heading on the stationery you can see we held this reunion in Arizona as the guests of Clifford Vogt on his famous dude ranch. ’■Te ere met at the depot by Phyllis Fenn renowned hostess of the ranch, formerly P,ueen of the Itdison square (Darden Rodeo. As we drove towards the hacienda,the beauty of the surrounding grounds held us spellbound. We were later informed that the land.scaping was done by Grace Guarnieri. Once inside the lodge, we were cordially welcomed by Christine Farkness, treasurer of the ranch, and by our host, Clifford Vogt. Robert Axelby, the outstanding actor, author, and producer, with Marion Parsons, star of his stage and screen extravaganzas, were able to stop over for the reunion on their flight between New York and Hollywood, where they will co-star in the screen version of their latest stage hit. vou may remember Rosalie Thomson's enthusiasm for the Brooklyn Dodgers. We are pleased to report that she is now the proud owner of Dem Bums , who have come west before they leave for Havana for the training season. William Mosley,owner of the Mosley Machine Company, and his head foreman, Robert Sheldon, are sojourning here after having completed their latest government orders. After studying at the Mayo Clinic, Dorothy Blanchard, head nurse of the Naval Hospital at Mew London, Connecticut, with her chief Assistant, Agnes Savelkoul, are spending their vacation at the ranch before continuing East to resume their duties. Yesterday morning Helen Smith and a friend of hers entertained us with several fast sets of tennis. Helen is now the new professional Woman's Tennis Champion of the World Shortly before noon Helen and Gloria Haney gave an exibition of their marksmanship on the rifle range. 3oth excellent shots, Gloria is now the possissor of the loving cup for the Champion Woman Marksman in the United States. Standing on the side line, Joe Daras, prominent sports authority and manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, and Harry Kilman, the outstanding basketball coach of Indiana University who has not lost a game in three seasons, were seen discussing recent sport events. During the afternoon we were thrilled by a spectacle of sky-writing done by Richard Hearn, the famous ace of the last war. in a plane especially designed by Paul Viets, that ernminent aeronautical engineer. Thanks to Ruth Fowler, designer of costumes for many lavish Hollywood productions, and Evelyn DeLong, celebrated dressmaker of Lord Taylor's, New York, our western outfits here at the ranch lacked no end of originality and color. Last evening a ball was held in the Main Ball Room of Vogt's Village. The decorations were red, white and blue as they were for our Junior From in 1942. The murals of the Old West adorning the walls of the ballroom were done by Shirley Coy, who recently finished the Interior decorations of the new Post Office 3uilding in Washington. The colorful grand march was led by the Govenor of Connecticut, Robert Robinson, and hi3 private secretary, Marion Krayeski. Second in line was Clifford Vogt, our host and Marion Inr.es, world-renowned traveler and lecturer. Lois Buckingham and Doris Senk, graceful instructresses at Arthur Murray's, New York, with their dashing partners gave a spirited exhibition of the old-fashioned barn dances. The prompting was done by Beverly Knox who is responsible for the outstanding popularity of the great new 27 Russin's Barn. Couples come from far and wide to hear her call the square sets. The music for the occasion was provided by Hazel Brown and her Kill-Billy Brownies, who have played all over the United States. The featured artists of the evening .were Stella Kwlatkowskl, who has thrilled royalty with her accordian solos, and Evelyn Lundberg, the Swedish Nightingale of the Twentieth Century. After the ball a dinner of fried chicken was served. The chickens were provided by Albert Cook, owner of the Cook Family Chicken Farm. At the dinner there were two guests of honor. You would never guess who they were so I'll tell you that they were your old buddies of the Marines, Thomas Luboyeski and Harry Kryzanowski. It might be added that their neat uniforms added a bit more color to the affair. I guess this is all the news of our reunion. We are still sorry that you were unable to attend and hope that next year we shall all be able to get together. 28 Owl Staff 1942 - 1943 On September 29, 1943 the Owl Staff presented the first school assembly as mentioned in the write up on assemblies.

Petke '45 34 GLEE CLUB HI-Y CLUB Cheerleading This year there are seven girls on the cheerlesding squad, Instead'of the usual'six. They are Therese Boylar. Lorraine Thulin,'Mary Piazza, Elaine Saunders, Helene Kakow-ski, Barbara Fox, and Betty Ann Monahan. Those trying out for cheerleading reported to the coaches, Miss Atkins and Mr. Ebner. It was a difficult tesk to pick out seven because there are a great many interest ed in becoming cheerleaders. Our cheerleaders are dressed in brown skirts and gold blouses. They are among the best coached Cheerleaders in the state. At the pep rally and the basketball games they have done their best in leading the cheering section. A'new school song was submitted, introduced by Seth Thomas, played by the Tick Tock Orchestra, at the Junior Prom two years ago. There were also a few new cheers with new formations and motions. Some of the new cheers are: Team Fight T-E-A-M Team Fight T-E-A-M Team Fight T-E-A-M Team Fight Fight, Team, Fight! New School Song Thomaston Victorious Thomaston! We're out to win tonight, So, give a good loud cheer. Thomaston! We're going to win tonight, We've got the best team here. So run the flags up And hold your head up And then begin to sing and yell Victory!!! Our boys are big and strong It will not take them long To show who's got the stuff, They are rough! And plenty tough! We're going to win this game tonight-----. Mary Piazza '44 37 HI-Y A branch of the Hl-Y was started in Thomaston three years ago. Before a pupil can Join, he must meet certain regulrements as to character and scholastic ability. In November the Hl-Y held its first meeting and elected the following officers: President-------Clifford Dodd Vice-President—Donald Thulin Treasurer-------Richard Hearn Secretary-------John Wilson During the year Clifford Dodd, the presid nt, moved away and was tended a farewell party by the club. Donald Thulin was then made president. After the business of the meeting has been taken up games such as badminton, pingpong,and basketball are played. Under the supervision of the high school the Hi-Y undertook the sale of war bonds and stamps. This not only helps the pupils to save money,but also aids in the national defense effort. The members of the club take turns every week selling stamps. When the Owl went to press the Hi-Y had sold $1400 wTorth of war stamps and before the school year is over they hope to have sold $2500 worth of stamps. In March the Hi-Y conducted a Red Cross drive at the high school which netted $74.58. The school is pleased with the outcome of this campaign. The Seniors donated the nest.

The following officers were chosen for tKe year: President-------Donald Thdlin Vice-President—John Wilson Secretary------—Dorothy O'Brien Treasurer---------Mary Piazza - Our class advisors are Miss Florian and Mrs. Bailey. It was noted to Day class dues of twenty'cents a month and the suggestion was made to get pur class rings 'this year instead of waiting until our Senior year. A committee was aooointed to discuss this matter thoroughly. The members are: Donald Thulln, Revllo Fuller, Jack Brazee, Elizabeth Rayder, and Mildred Menke. The next class meeting was to vote for our rings as we had received permission to get them this year. We voted many times before a decision was made. We talked about giving our assembly, but very few neople showed up .at rehears--als which prevented us from presenting it. The class decided to send Christmas boxes to the soldiers in New England Letters and cards were sent from the soldiers to our class, to thank us for our gifts. That the Juniors are doing their oart in all school activities can be seen by looking at the number of Junior members in all clubs and teams. Marjorie' Pichards '44 JUNIOR CLASS SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY The Sophomore Claes consists of forty-eight pupils: thirteen boys and thirty-five girls. Our first class meeting was held in October, at which we elected class officers as follows: President-----Arnold Lundberg Vice-President-----Louis Guertin Secretary-----Margaret Atwood Treasurer-----Maureen Reardon Just before Christmas, five boxes were made up to send .to service boys from other parts of the country, who were to be in New England during the holidays. For these each member of the Sophomore Class was taxed ten cents. Articles for these boxes were bought by the Secretary and Treasurer, Margaret Atwood and Maureen Reardon. On February 5, the Sophomore Class entertained the school at an assembly. The program included: two piano solos, National Airs , by Rosetta Franzoso, and sung by a quartet of girls, Mary Lou Klaneski, Betty Sitkiewicz, Maureen Reardon, and Marion Gilbert; a vocal solo, Love Is Kind , by Barbara Lehmann; a chorus of boys and girls featuring a song, Students, Students , written especially for the occasion by Honey Innes and Eetty Shearer; and a one-act play, Call It a Day , presented by a large cast of boys and girls. This program was under the direction of the class advisors, Miss Goodwin and Mrs. Leavy. The Sophomore Class is well represented in most of the school activities; there are five on the Owl Staff, eight in the Dramatic Club, five on the Varsity Basketball teams, one in the Orchestra, and one on the Soccer team. Margaret Atwood '45 47 FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY There are fifty-three pupils in the Freshman Class; twenty-eight girls and twenty-five hoys. At our first class meeting we elected the following officers: President ------- Walter Robinson Vice-President — Gay Brazee Secretary ------- Mary Roberts Treasurer ------- Paul Haddon Our advisors are Miss Kovlett and Mr. Stuart, When Miss Howiett left Thomaston to take a position in Wethersfield, Miss Gangloff took her place as advisor. At this meeting we also discussed a class party, but as no date could be decided upon, we left it open for further discussion. After a second class meeting it wrs ccic.ed that the party should be held November 20, 1042, and committees were chosen accordingly. At this oarty a number of oiano, vocal, anf trumpet solos were rendered. A number of skits were also presented. Refreshments were served, games were played and a good time was had by all. The class decided uoon the sum of fifteen cents for dues; this to be paid to the treasurer. The class also gave U.S.O. boxes, each costing a dollar, at Christmas time. Cur class is well represented in school activities with eleven members in the Dramatic Club, two Cheerleaders, four on the Owl Staff, six in the Orchestra, four on the Soccer Team, four on the Varsity Basketball boy's team and a great number in the Glee Club.

Eleanor Grohoski '47 Zenobla Hodkoski '47 49 ASSEMBLIES This year we have had many Interesting assemblies, Including movies, talks by Mr. Ebner and representatives of the American Legion, and several very entertaining plays. The first of these plays was given in the latter part of September by Owl Staff. Then In October the Senior class gave their presentation, an original skit, entitled Club 43 . In November, Mr. Gilmartin spoke to the Juniors and Seniors on the subject Know Your Money . A picture of the same title was also shown. This climaxed a two-hour study of the problem by the two upper classes. Captain McKeough and Special Officer O'Brien, from the New Haven Railroad, spoke to the school on trespassing on railroad property adjacent to the Thomaston station. Much was gained from this talk although some criticism was made on the manner in which Captain McKeough delivered his talk. However, it is to be said for him that he came directly to the point, stated the matter briefly and concisely.explained the penalties and consequences exactly as they would be for anyone who disobeyed the rules or regulations of the railroad. Several interesting movies were shown on Latin America. Some of these were, Our Neighbors , Down The Road , Brazil and 3uenos Aires . We also had some Dlctures on war production including, Tanks , Ring of Steel , and Building of Armor . In December, the picture Target for Tonight , an offical British war film, was shown. Just before the Christmas holidays the Dramatic Club presented Sparkin' , a one-act comedy in mountain dialect. In the early part of February, the Sophomore Class put on a play and musical program. This proved to be very successful and entertaining. In the latter part of February, the Freshman Class gave an enjoyable one-act play entitled, The Family Album . This play was unusual in that it featured singing and dancing by individuals and by groups. As we go to press we are looking forward to programs to be presented in the near future by the Seventh and Eighth Grades. 50 Betty Shearer '45 EIGHTH GRADE SEVENTH GRADE 3A3£aALL 1942 For the first time in a good many years, Thomaston High had a disastrous season. However, the whole story can not be summed up as easily as this, for any senior who obtained a position of any sort could leave school after the month of March and still receive his diploma- This system was inaugurated in Thomaston to help in the defense program. Many of the seniors who left school to take these positions were veteran members of the baseball squad. This left a huge, gaping hole in the squad which Mr. Stuart had to fill to the best of his ability. Many of the boys whom he selected were good, thoug. lacking tne experience, thorougnness, and consistency which another year or two of practice would have given them. The boys all gave their best and though they lost every ,-game, they let the other teams know that they were sports and good fighters. With the experience these boys nave gained,Coach Stuart feels confluent that Thomaston will have an excellent record and team ne t year. hr. Stuart is to be congratulated for the way in wnich he handled the situation which arose last year, and for the calmness with which he accepted defeat and went about rebuilding a strong squad amid the howls of people who didn't understand the situation. Thomaston player rather an abbreviated season because of the trouble, during the present emergency, in obtaining fuel for int°rscholastic athletic contests. ob ellmay, ace hurler, Razzle Oilman ,,pal oster and ”u°rk Mosley, chief sludgers, deserve a great deal of credit for the way in which they played and for the help and encouragement they gave the younger players breaking in under them. he scores of the Watertown 14 Litchfield 1?

However, It may be said In the few games played that we had an exceptional team. We had a much better team than our record of two wins, one tie and one loss shows. At the beginning of the year we did not expect to have a team. When we were informed that it would be possible to have a squad we had little time in which to prepare for the season. Consequently we lost our first game, while our second game was a tied score. Our last two games were both victories. This proves that we undoubtedly could have had a more successful season if we had been able to drill more, for as the season progressed we grew steadily better. Con • sidering everything, Coach Stuart feels that the team is to be congratulated upon how well it did. Harry Kllman and Clifford Dodd ’-'ere especially outstanding and deserve a great deal of credit for their work. If it is at all possible to play soccer next season, Thomaston expects to have a fine team, as not many players will be lost through graduation. We also have some excellent substitutes. The members of the 1943 Soccer squad and their positions are: FORWARDS SUBSTITUTES Bernard Hoyt '46 Edward Grohoski '44 James Conaghan ’44 James Gilland '46 Ralph Lundberg '44 James Kennedy '46 Thomas Luboyeski '43 Pasquale DiMaria '46 Arthur Hathway '44 Charles Kellie '46 Chester Paczkowskl '45 GOALIE Harry Kryzanowskl 1 43 FULLBACKS HALFBACKS Clifford Dodd '43 John McAdam ’44 William Mosley '43 Harry Kilman '43 Eugene Young '43 SOCCER SCHEDULE Thomaston Opponents Watertown 0 2 Watertown 2 2 Litchfield 1 0 Litchfield - 4 0 Robert Robinson 55 BOYS' BASKETBALL 1942-1943 The high school basketball team has again completed a successful campaign upon the court, winning nine and losing four games. The team got off to a rather slow start but kept picking up steadily until about mid-season when they hit their stride. The squad is especially to be congratulated upon their fine appearance on the floor. Very few schools are able to boast of such a snappy, good-looking and fast ball-handling team. The boys were also noted for the very sportsmanlike manner in which they played the game. Many of the teams which we defeated were beaten by two or three points only, and this made for a very exciting season. The two games in which we beat Morris were especially exciting. Herk Mosley, center and captain, was the high scorer and his many baskets led Thomaston on to victory several times. Harry Kilman, the star of the squad, gained recognition throughout the state for his fast and fancy floor work. Joe Daras played an excellent game at guard and his long set shots were of great value in winning games. Donny Thulln, Arfie Lundberg, and Hunkie Conaghan who played good ball for their first year on the big team, made up the rest of a fine squad. The second team's record was not too impressive but, Mr.Stuart feels confident these boys will have a much better record next year.

As other schools had the same difficulty we could not schedule our games until late in the season. Among other difficulties we had much trouble getting a coach. Miss Howlett resigned to teach in another school ai.o Mrs. Morrison left to join her husband in New York. We finally acquired Miss Copeland who has had much successful ex-perience in this field. Training this year started later than usual and has consisted mostly of learning to guard correctly, to perfect our shooting and pass with more accuracy. In addition we have learned many new plays which have worked out quite successfully. The team is larger than usual with nineteen players. This is due to the fact that there was no cut. The line up of the first team is as following: Forwards: Helen Smith '43 Marjorie Richards '44 Dorothy O'Brien '44 Wanda Krasnoski '44 Anna Senew '45 Guards: Lois Buckingham '43 Dorothy Eisner '44 Betty Rayder '44 Louise North '45 The following is the line up of the second team: Forwards: Margaret Atwood '45 Barbara Blanchard '46 Dorothy Ruggie '46 Patsy Winters '46 Manager - Honey Guards: Aline Mattson '44 Jane Woina '44 Gay Brazee '46 Florence Luboyeski Mary Roberts '46 mes '45 '46 December 4 February 9 Second Team February 17 Games played a’ SCHEDULE High School 17 Thomaston 46 Thomaston 18 Thomaston 26 • are starred.

Both Junior and Senior high school take part in this competition. Every student in the class may participate except those who have been on the varsity or any team outside the school. Anyone who signs up is capable of electing a captain from his group and a coach from the varsity team. The captain and coach, chosen along with Mr. Stuart, act as a committee of three to select ten players to represent their class. Every substitute must be allowed to play at least four minutes in every game. The first game begins at 4:00 and the second at 4:45. Each team plays for points and the combined girls' and boys' points will represent the class total towards a trophy donated to this cause by Mrs. Bidwell. The point system is as follows: 12 points it it if Grade 7 wins over Grade 9 or 10 wins over 12 10 it n it 8 n it it it 9 it 11 it it 12 10 tt it it it it 7 it it tt it 8 it 10 tt it 11 8 it tt it n it 9 it it it tt 7 tt 12 it tt 10 8 n it it it tt 9 tt tt tt tt 8 it 12 it n 11 8 it it it it it 8 it it it it 7 tt 11 it it 10 The Juniors von the trophy with one hundred and one and the eighth grade came in second with ninety-two points. Honey Innes 145 60 AFFRECIATE FREEDOM WORK FOR IT FIGHT FOR IT As the moon dims out and the last star is blacked out by the break of day, one cannot help but think of the op- pressed In the occupied countries who live in terror1 every minute of the day, or even of those countries who are fighting the oppressors. Over there they have to worry when the next bomb is coming, where their food is coming from and whether they will be alive the next day and whether they will be the next ones to be conquered by the mad race of Nazis. They look with envy uoon the United States and they wish that they too might be in America where as yet we do not have to worry about bombs, food, or whether we will be alive the next day. Yet in this country we do not appreciate freedom. We groan and complain about little things that should not bother us. We hate to go without that gas, food and other luxuries; we hate to put extra hours in at the shop unless ve get time and a half for it; our children complain about going to school and getting an education so that in the future there may be no wars. Our young people should be glad that they can go to school without having to learn what a great guy Hitler is, and to worship him as a god. We should be glad that we are a free race, that our women and children are not led off to concentration camps, that our men who are of no use to the Nazis are not being shot. We should be glad to work and fight for freedom and if we are asked to go without a few things in the days to come, we should do it willingly and with a smile, not with a scowl and grumbling. Many of us should willingly give uo some of our recreation to go on a farm this summer to helo produce crons. We must learn to appreciate freedom and we must work to preserve it. Americans must be awakened to the fact that there is a war going on and that they must go without luxuries in order to clothe and feed our soldiers. The people must forget their little differences and nut their shoulder to the wheel and win the war so that all the world may soon see the light of freedom once again.

Mildred venke '44 THE REFUGEES One sunny morning I awoke and a sudden feeling of fright overtook me for it was my turn to serve alone in the dining room of the Inn Everytning was beautiful outside but I felt quite queer. It was six-thirty when I heard the otner girls getting up so I slowly crawled out of bed, then hurried into my blue and white dress and my white apron. I started for the door and my knees became so weak, I felt I should fall. I got myself out of our cottage and across the lawn toward the house when a feeling like butterflies in my stomach came over me. At breakfast the manager told me there would be two new guests and that I must treat them with all the consideration I could. Well, I did that with all the guests so I asked him why they were so special he should have to speak to me about it. He told me they were two Greek refugees. I thought nothing more of it for I had seen many people from many places. Breakfast was served at 8:00 o’clock. As I stood by the dining room door waiting for the people to appear, the butterflies returned and I thought I could never go in there alone. I knew I would do something embarrassing. My time had come, for through the doors appeared three guests. I walked toward them, but how I did it is beyond me. I asked them for their orders then returned to the kitchen. When I came back there were about ten more guestsi As I stood wishing I could fall through the floor or anything to get away, the manager shouted Get out there. So I went back again. I got all the orders then served. Just as I thought I could take a breath, in walked a beautiful woman and a tall dark man. The woman was different from anyone I had ever seen. She had coal-black hair pulled back into a bun at the back of her neck. Her eyes were also black and she wore a light shade of red on ner lips and her skin was a creamy white. The gentleman was quite elderly in appearance There were signs of white in his dark hair. He was about six feet tall an very straight in posture. When they were seated, I walked up and asked for their orders. The man had an accent which made it nearly impossl- 64 ble for me to understand him. When the woman whom I took to be his wife, saw my embarrassment she also tried to tell me what he meant. After a while I understood them. They asked me what I thought of the day and as usual I said, Pretty good. The man to my astonishment said, Now that's the trouble with you Americans! You don't know what it is to live in air raids, and the horror of starvation. This country is like Heaven to me. Some minutes later he stopped abruptly and made excuses for forgetting himself. They gave me their orders and I left the room. I naked .the manager about them and told him what they had said. The manager took the order from me and told me to read it. I did and it didn't seem too strange to me. Finally I noticed one thing and asked, Why doesn't he eat bacon and eggs and coffee like hi3 wife? In answer to that the manager told me a story I snail never forget. This Grecian refugee had been practically starved while trying to get out of Greece. When he got a ship out, he fainted from lack of food. They tried to feed him but nothing would stay down. They found that out because of his digestive system so he couldn't eat anything except light foods. His wife was lucky enough to have escaped before the Germans struck. When they left their table, the man bowed low to me and excused himself as though I had done him a great favor. They both thanked me again for about the tenth time, not sarcastically but with genuine appreciation. This experience is one that will live with me forever. I had never realized what a heaven this is to sufferers from oppressions. Jean Blake '45 5 A TRIP INTO THE FUTURE One day in January 1942 a group of well-known scientists decided to conduct a very unusual experiment. This experiment consisted of sealing a young and brilliant scientist, Walter DeLong, up in a tomb under a state of suspended animation caused by an electric shock. The reason for this experiment was to see if they could keep the scientist alive until some future date. Finally in the year 5000, DeLong s tomb was found by a group of scientists of that time, They broke open the tomb, and then they saw DeLong. DeLong was quite dizzy from his sudden awakening after having been in a coma for three thousand and fifty-eight years. He was then led to the leader of the nation who was a leading historian of this date, DeLong was received very cordially, and the two shook hands. Then they sat down and had a very interesting talk. In this talk, DeLong was told that during the war, which started in 1939 and lasted until 1950, civilization gradually crumbled and the world was returned to the Dark Ages. Some things had been re-invented, but the world was far from what it was in DeLong s time. When DeLong heard this, he at once set to work trying to re-invent some of the things of his day. This was very hard work and took a great deal of time because everything had to be made by hand. One day when the scientist was taking a day off to rest, he met a lovable and beautiful young girl. They soon fell in love, were married, and after two years had a son. Through his inventions and discoveries, DeLong was getting fame and power among the people. Then in the year 5025 he became First Lord of Earth. One day when DeLong was in his office working, he was interrupted when his Secretary of State came in and told him that another tomb had been found in Berlin,Germany, and that there were two men alive in it. One was dressed in a uniform with medals, and had a little mustache. The other man called this man Der Feuhrer. 66 This news excited DeLong greatly because this meant that the man was Adolf Hitler. DeLong immediately -ordered out his olane which he had re-invented two years before. He was going directly to Berlin to see Hitler. When he got to Berlin he found Adolph Hitler was in the building that had been his ralace three thousand and eighty-three years ago. When Hitler met DeLong, they had a long talk. argument was started and in a fit of rage DeLong shot nitler with a gun he had re-invented. Adolph fell to the floor and so died the xrorld's lowest scum of humanity at the age of 3118. DeLong himself was getting old, so he had to work fast. He decided that it would be better if the earth was a democratic nation Instead of a kingdom. So the next day he issued a proclamation to the people saying: I will abdicate as king and give the people a democratic government if you will elect my son, Walter L. DeLong Jr. as first president. And the people were pleased with this very much, Walter L. DeLong Jr, was unanimously elected President. And so the name of DeLong went down in history just as Walter DeLong had dreamed it would in the distant past in the little town of Thomastori. On Branch Road in this town there was a cement monument with this inscribed on it. Here in the Year 1926 A.D., was born Walter DeLong, the first Lord of Earth and Father of the First President of Earth. And on the spot where the high school had stood there was a monument which said: The Building Which Stood Here as Great For Two Reasons: Because This Building Was built by the Help and Money of One President,Franklin D. Roosevelt of the Ancient Country of the United States, and 3ecause It Was Here That Walter DeLong Received His Education. Walter DeLong 46 Oh, Happy Day.' One hot summer night in July at Bantam Lake, Marge and I got up the bright idea to go fishing at midnight. We sneaked out of our small, dilapidated tent, got our fishing poles and started tramping down the path to the shore. I led the way with an old kerosene lamp swinging violently from my arm. Marge kept yelling, Be quiet, will you? Ma will hear us. Just as she finished shrieking for about the tenth time, my feet slipped from under me and I lightly floated to the ground with a thump and a crash. I looked up—we were in darkness. Someone cried out, What's the matter out there? We started running and jumped into the boat. We each took an oar and started rowing with all our might only to find we were still at anchor. After a great struggle we untied the boat and got on our way. After rowing for about five minutes steadily,we reached the ideal spot. It was about half a mile from shore where the water was calm and the air was clear. So with all the hope that fills a young fisherman's heart, we cast our first line out far beyond the boat, or so I thought. The next second a clear, loud scream rang out. It was Marge, I had hooked her right where it hurts the most. I stood there shaking with laughter while she was swaying the boat to and fro. But for our little tub the shaking was too much and as you might have guessed, the boat including hooks, lines, worms, flies and all that goes with fishing—along with Marge and me went over board. By this time people were sticking their heads out of the cottages and yelling things I wouldn't dare repeat. After we recovered from the shock, we dived around under water trying to find lost articles but to no avail. Luckly Marge was hooked by one of the poles because that was the only thing saved. We had to push the boat in and after awhile it got pretty heavy. Then during what seemed an hour it ran aground and we left it to it's own fate. Wearily we climbed the steep, dark path to our tent (lucky we had it by ourselves) and got ready for a beauty sleep which we both needed badly. I made a flying leap into bed only to find myself on the floor. I had missed the bed by three inches. Then Marge yelled to me, Hey, Honey, I moved your bed this 'aft. About four o'clock we said our last word and a short prayer for a better day tomorrow and with grinning '.faces, fell asleep. Honey Innes '45 68 THE GREATEST DAY OF MY LIFE I am fond of baseball; therefore I remember distinctly the first major league baseball game that .1 ’-'itneased. It was early in June of 1942 when I awoke to find the day a rainy one. I was very much disappointed, for this was the day that I had hoped would give me the greatest thrill of my life. Although it poured and poured, I still had hopes; and, being very much excited, I burned the toast, broke a dish, and scorched my dress. At noon it was raining harder than ever, I finally convinced my sister, who was going with me, that we should go out to New York City (we were living on Long Island) to see how the weather was. I had known it before to be raining on Long Island and to be a clear day in New York City. We took the bus, then the subway. It still had been raining when we went into the subway, but was I surprised when we got out I The sun was half-shining behind a light mist. But the game was going to be played, and that was all that mattered! We were pushed along with the huge crowd. Soon I got a glimpse of the outside of Yankee Stad.ium, Was I breathless! It was such a huge place! But I was astonished even more when I went inside. As we walked to our seats way down on the field, I gazed on all sides. In front vaa the field, green and beautiful beyond measure. Along the side-lines pitchers and other players were warming up. As we had a half-hour to wait before the start of the first game of a double-header, my eyes wandered to the different people sitting around me. I remember two in particular, one was a buxom young man, another was a middle-aged woman who looked as though she was poured into her purple sweater. Before long it began to grow mistier. I felt a cold coming, but I didn't mention it. Anxiously I waited, and soon the two teams,the New York Yankees and the St. Louis Browns,trotted out onto the field. They hurried to their positions, and as the band -began to play The Star Spangled Banner , they stood at attention, their caps off, and facing the flag. The spectators had risen by .this time,and remained so until the National Anthem came to a close. 69 THE GREATEST DAY OF MY LIFE The game got under way with St. Louis at bat first. I cheered and jumped up and down when the second man at bat hit the ball far out Into the .left field stands for a home run. I watched him slowly circle the bases and cull up at home plate, where he was congratulated by several members of his team. I bet he felt good! But when New York came to bat, I was more excited than ever, especially as Joe Di Maggio strode up to the plate. My sister and I cheered and claoped the loudest for him as he banged out a double. At one time a foul ball almost hit me. Everyone scrambled for It, and how I wished I could have gotten it. 3ut it wouldn't have done me much good because all foul balls had to be returned to be sent to the service men. The first game was won by the Yanks. It hadn't really been as good as some I had heard on the radio, but to me it was the best because I saw it with my own eyes. Then we had to wait about fifteen minutes for the second game. I was as hungry as a bear, so I ate a couple of hot dogs, a soda, and ice cream. As the second game began, I discovered that I was very hoarse and couldn't talk much. Nevertheless, because this game was a much closer one, I yelled and cheered as much as possible and became more excited. During the third inning two Brownie olayers collided in short left field. As a result,the short stop was carried off the field on a stretc-er. Then there had to be a change in the line-uo, after which the vankees got ahead and eventually won. But the St. Louis Browns had given them a real fight Just the same. When the last man was out, we walked across the Yankee Stadium. It felt like walking on a thick, green caroet. Arriving outside, my sister and I were nobbed into a subway and were homeward bound. I had a terrible cold and was tired, but this had b en the greatest day of my life. Margaret Atwood '45 70 ?he Raft Over the horizon they disappeared; Into the ocean dread. We searched and searcher' for days and days, Until we believed them dead. But—Nol They were living (God only knows how); On three little rafts they sail, For miles and miles with nothing to eat, But God, they knew, wouldn't fall. Their bodies were burned; their tongues were parched; They prayed for the day we'd appear. They cried for food; and groaned with pain, But death they did not fear. It was the waiting and suffering that they feared, With sharks swimming all around. They dreaded the day they'd die of thirst, And never would they be found. One boy was so sick he drank of the sea, And that night when all was grey, He talked of his love end his mother so dear, And soon he passed away. As they lay awake one night in pain, They saw a ship go past, They shouted and cried for it to stop, But found a mirage does not last. Twenty-one days they drifted around, In hunger and thirst and pain. To keep on going from day to day, It seemed so all in vain. Twenty-one days and twenty-one nights, And only God. knew their fears. Those twenty-one days and twenty-one nights, Seemed like twenty-one years. When out of the blue came a bird of God, A plane to save their lives, They thanked the Lord with all their might, And from death we sew them rise.
