IN SCHOOL, UNTIL It was a wonderful but rather a sultry day, when Mary Clinton went to Boston to enter a secretarial school. She was a ordinary country girl with a pleasing personality, and capable of achieving a career for herself. Being a secretary to a business firm had long been in Mary's mind and now she was planning to obtain a sufficient amount of knowledge to help her be a secretary. Her days went fast at school and before long she was well on her way to becoming a trained secretary. The assignments were always on time, neat, and well done just as they should be. During her mid-season examinations, an instance happened that changed her entire plans for the future. She was on her way to class when one of the faculty members came to her and told she was wanted on the telephone. Many thoughts began to go through her mind for very seldom did anyone call her. Could it be that her mother was calling about her allowance? Or, was someone sick at home? All these went through her mind but the call contained the last thing she ever expected. The operator, with a clear and pleasant voice, relayed the following message: Father died. Come home promptly. Mom. She stood motionless for a minute, with tears streaming down her cheeks. The news of her father's death was a great shock being that she had been very fond of him. She also knew that when when she went home she would never be able to come back, for someone had to help support the family. Mary was the oldest so she would have to stay. When Mary had been home for a couple years, she got married to a wealthy man and was very happy. She had a beautiful home and everything, but still there was a feeling inside her that she had not accomplished all the plans she had looked forward to so often. Annie N iem i E PITAPHS Here lies Don, our jolly friend, Who kept up good works until the end. The name written upon this stone Is that of someone we have not known. When the gay Seniors leave us in june, Will they please leave us money to errect their tomb. One last picture before he died: Here lies Duane with camera by side. Here lies Syl, may she rest in peace, And her basketball ability never cease! Here lies Esten, our favorite prankster, Who in the end became a gangster. Here lies Kenneth, our friend of the past, Who drove his car a little too fast. Here lies Ralph who fell through the floor When Mr. Kenoyer walked through the door. Here lies Walter who turned as red as a beet When the girls all kissed him on the cheek. Here lies Dwight who wanted to farm Who was found dead in his father's barn. Z6

BOYS' BASKET BALL Around the first of November our practice was held with eighteen men reporting. After several practices under Coach Kenoyer, we were ready for our first game. UNION AT LIBERTY 11-21-49 U. H. S. 49 W. H. S. ZZ The first game of the season was a push over for the Eagles with every man on the squad getting a chance to play. The final score was Union 49 Liberty ZZ. UNION AT NEWCASTLE 11-Z3-49 U. H. S. 34 L. A. 37 Venturing to Newcastle, Union received its first defeat. The Eagles fought hard, but it was just too much to match Lincoln's six footers. Two of our players were out with the mumps and this didn't help. The final score was 37 to 34 with Union on the short end. UNION AT WALDOBORO 12-Z-49 U. H. S. 45 W. H. S. 42 Our next attempt ata victory was successful as we downed Waldoboro. It looked bad for Union during the first half as Waldoboro led by a score of ZZ to 19. During the last half, however, we came back to take the lead and hold it throughout by a very tight score of 45 to 42. WALDOBORO AT UNION 12-6-49 U. H. S. 55 W. H. S. 34 just four days after our game at Waldoboro, the Eagles had their first home game with the boys from Waldoboro. They made it a runaway as Bus Knight hit the nets for Z6 points and Union won 55 to 34. UNION AT APPLETON 12-13-49 U. H. S. 33 A. H. S. 15 Once more Union hit the road to come home victorious. The boys led all the way and once more every man on the squad was put into action. With a low ceiling and a small haul, the team didn't roll i.n as many points as were expected, but we won 33 to 15 28
