UQUDUQUUDUQQGQIQUQQQQQUQQDQQQG . wnexceaooczou EDITORIAL IFFEN If anyone should step up to you and ask you what we needed most at Bing- ham High School, what do you think you would say? Well, I will tell you. Maybe it is not what you would think of, but it what I know. What we need most is good school spirit, something to urge students on toward the goal. We need more UPRODUCTIONH. Pupils must work harder, they must take a different and more interested attitude toward the school and its teachers. Teachers cannot teach a les- son to a group of boys and girl who are not interested. It is strictly impos- sible. If a student does not care wheth- er or not he learns, and if he has no real school spirit, it gives anyone a rather vivid picture of what the out- look will be. I know that there are many people who have never completed school. I know also, that out of a good many of those who did not continue their edu- cation, the reason was from their own choice. I will admit, however, that there are those who had home duties which made it necessary for them to give up their schooling. If you will no- tice, is is those who have had to give up school who have wanted most to continue. But those who took their choice, left because of a lack of the true school SPIRIT . There was nothing binding them to the school. Now let's all get together and say, MORE PRODUCTION IN '45 .' P. G. B. '46 If only I were out of high school! ! Then I would know real happiness. How one can endure twelve grueling years of school is more than I can surmise, but what a wonderful feel- ing it must be to get away from the monotony of the same old classes, the same old teachers, and the same old school building! Surprisingly, some people like school. The only ones whom I have seen who ever liked school are the mentally decrepit and the teachers' pets . If I were out of school, I would work for some rich corporation. I would earn a small fortuneg then I would be very, very nice to all the school-kid- dies. I would buy all the schools in the state and burn them all at once. I would be a state hero, I betcha. If I were only out of school! ! I William L. O'Brien '46 Pk rr 'lf lk CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS There are many new ideas for the post-war world, some of which are difficult to understandg but one which concerns us closely is the plan for a consolidated school in our own com- munity. The idea of such schools is by no means new, for consolidation has been carried out in many parts of the United States, and has proved success- ful. Such schools have already proved their value in New York Stateg for without a doubt, New York has the 6 BOREAS best rural schools in the world. These schools serve in a rough circle an area of twenty miles or more. The consoli- dated school is usually a two-story brick building and includes a bus gar- age, athletic field, playground, and tennis courts. It contains about twen- ty-iive classrooms besides a library, music rooms, health room, gymnasium, auditorium and a cafeteria. Such a school can offer special cour- ses, which include agriculture, art, home economics, manual training, physical education, and band and orchestra work. It can have a libra- rian, guidance director, and a nurse. These are some of the educational benefits derived from consolidation. As to the school plant, it can afford adequate heating, ventilation, light- ing and better and more satisfactory equipment than could be had other- wise. We know that in this territory there are schools having only ten pupils. The total cost for educating these ten is 5B3,000, while if they were being transported to a consolidated school this cost would be S100 to S150 per pupil. We can see that this would cut the cost in two. At the present time our curriculum is not broad enough to offer us courses that will be of more practical use to us in later life and be of the greatest interest to us at the present time. This is a changing world and we must face the changes or be left behind in the march forward. We should have courses varied enough to offer each individual the subjects suited to his abilities and helpful to him in earning a living. Can we not have broader courses of study such as those offered in con- solidated schools, where commercial, shop, agriculture and technical cour- ses are given? Can we not have a school building with modern heat- ing, lighting, ventilation, cafeteria service, gymnasium, and the other' ad- vantages that children of the consoli- dated schools are enjoying? Are we in this area not big enough to overcome the obstacles and to plan for our future needs? The State De- partment of Education has already made plans for such post-war schools, and if we in Bingham want one of these schools enough to work for it, we can have it. The Federal govern- ment would furnish one-half of the money for such a school, the State would furnish orie-fourth, and the communities included in the consoli- dation would furnish the rest of the money needed. Is it not possible to offer much more to the young people of this area by co- operation, by planning, and by pool- ing our resources than by all going separate ways? If each boy in the service had to fight alone, he would make little progress, but the combined efforts of all bring forth the best re- sults, we shall get them much sooner and they will be the best. In a short time other districts will be having consolidated schools and if we do not have them at the same time or even before, our youth will go out- side this district to receive the bene- fits of the better educational advan- tages that other schools can offer them. Let us all work together and be first in this great step forward in edu- cation here in our own community.

He had dreamed of it ever since he was old enough to understand what goin' fishin' meant. His Dad was always going fishing up on the East Branch. He had often heard the other fisher- men tell about the one that got away right there below the Hulling Ma- chine . And every time in answer to his questions his Dad had said, Tell you what, I'll take you up there some day, when you can handle a rod. Well, he certainly was no expert at handling a rod . Six-year olds sel- dom are. In fact, he had made a mess of trying to cast out on the lawn but Dad had chuckled and said, Guess you can go with me tomorrow. Just like that-as though it were nothing! He was up before anyone else was awake. He waited impatiently and wondered why his father took so long in getting ready. He managed to get in his mother's way while she packed their lunch, until finally she sent him out of the kitchen. He sat in the back steps and whis- tled. Whistling bothered him a little, because one tooth was missing in front. The other front tooth was loose, too. He hoped it would come out to- day. Pug -he was leader of the neighborhood gang-had lost both his front ones, and he had said it sure was a sign of being old and tough. So he wiggled it back and forth and watch- a robin on the lawn digging for a worm. He sort of wished he was going to fish with worms because it was fun to dig them, but he was a fly fisher- man like his Dad. The screen door slammed shut. Dad appeared with his pack and rod. He raced out to the garage ahead of his father. When he got to the car, Lad was behind him, barking and dancing up and down. So he had to haul him back to the house and convince him he couldn't go. Dad had the car backed out in front of the house. He rushed back and got in, slamming the door. Where's your rod? On the porch, he remembered. He ran faster this time for fear his father would get impatient and leave with out him. Back in the car he had everything, and Mom had Lad in the house. The ride to the Forks in the glorious sum- mer morning was just a necessary waste of time to him. At The Forks they turned onto the dirt road. He sat up, more excited now. They reached Moxie Lake, beautiful in the morning sun. Now, his father told him as he swung the car onto a very narrow road, we're on the old railroad track. He thought this over a while, puz- zled. There was no track or sign of a train, only a narrow straight road. 14 BOREAS He didn't want to ask his father stupid questions, so he gave it up and soon forgot it. After a while he said, I don't hear it H Don't hear what? The Hulling Machine! I thought it made an awful noise! He was dis- appointed, Wait till we get up there, his father laughed. They left the car parked just below the old railroad bridge that crossed the East Branch. As soon as he climb- ed out, he heard a faint roaring, which seemed to come partly from the river below and partly from a long way off. His father strapped the pack on and started off on the trail, walking as easily as though it were an ordinary sidewalk, while he stumb- led after him, taking two steps to his father's one. The trail led along the river but farther up on the bank, so that most of the time the river was hidden by the trees. The roaring grew louder and loud- er. He was panting now, while his fa- ther walked without any apparent ef- fort. At last the trail turned and headed down to the bank. He thought he heard his father say something but the roar of the water drowned it out. They stood on a ledge by the river and he gazed at the Hulling Ma- chine . He watched the rushingwater- fall and spray. The drop was not very far, but there was so much water booming down over that the roar was deafening. He threw a stick into the white water and it disappeared at once. His father climbed down the ledge which ran along the river and helped him climb down. The ledge was flat- ter below the Hulling Machine , so that it was easy to fish here. His fath- er was telling him to stay away from the edge, and helping him rig up his line. When he was ready, his father moved up and fished above the Hull- ing Machine. He could see him cast- ing easily into the white water. He threw his leader with the White Ghost into the water. He stared at the dark water flowing past him and tried to see his line. At last he pulled as hard as he could, the fly came whizzing out of the water and shot over his head. It lay on the rocks behind him. He laid down his rod and went to pick it up. He walked as near as he dared to the water's edge and threw the fly in again. He ran to get his rod before a fish got off with the whole thing. He stood for a long time holding on tight- ly. Watching the swift water in the sun made him sleepy and a little dizzy. He looked at his father. He was still casting, lifting the rod easily, holding it a second, then moving it forward. The line sailed out gracefully. It was about time for him to cast again, he decided. He lifted his rod carefully, but the line wouldn't come -it held fast. He had snagged it on the bottom, he was always doing that when he fished with worms. But how would he get it out? What would his father say if he lost the whole thing, White Ghost and all? Suddenly the line moved---it was going up towards the Hulling Machine . A fish-he had a fish! he though excitedly. He shouted for his father, but the roar was louder. He looked desparately in his direction. His father was watch- ing-he almost thought he was laugh- ing! The line went out farther and BOREAS 15 farther. Sometimes he was sure the fish had got away, then the line would move again. After a long time he got mad at that fish and pulled hard. The line came swiftly in and he got a glimpse of a huge fish. He stopped pulling. He was so surprised. He wished his fath- ed would help him! - 1. After a while he thought, I'll pull hard and pull him out onto the rocks g but when he tried the fish flapped once and went off with more line. He was sweating hard. Gee, it was a big fish! He set the rod down, stepping carefully on the line so that the fish couldn't go any farther. Then he pulled in the line, hand over hand, slowly so as not to scare the fish. His father had given him a little net. How would he get the fish in? He pulled it up out of the water and it hung dan- gerously with its tail flapping and he put the net under it and dropped it in. To his surprise it went in easily. His father was coming toward him. He looked surprised and pleased. Hold him up so we can measure him, he said. He had the fish pinned down to the rocks with both hands. So his father put his rule beside it. Sorry, Son, he's just twelve inches --got to put him back. Law says four- teen inches on salmon. That's part of the game, you know. His father wet his hands and took hold of the fish. He slipped the fly out of its mouth. Here, he said, You put him back and let him grow a couple inches while we're eating our lunch. He carried it with both hands to the river edge and dropped him in. The fish stayed on top for a second, and then disappeared. He climbed back up the ledge to the top and sat down beside his father quietly. His father didn't say anything, just passed him a sandwich. He sat there eating and already he felt a lit- tle better. Wait till I tell the gang, he thought. Just wait till I tell them about the fish I caught! He took a big bite and stopped chewing. Some- thing hard was in the sandwich. He felt cautiously-it was the other tooth! Nellie Macdougall '45 if Sl' lk fl' MID-WINTER SCENES The sun with all its flaming glory, peeps over Fletcher Mountain to cast a weathered eye on the old familiar, though much battered, landscape and seems to contemplate what should be done about it. At this early hour the snow casts off a crystalline brilliance which only the sun could possibly look upon with scorn. Even the trees nearby seem to acknowledge the fact that it is morn- ing for they are stretching their long, grey limbs toward the sky, as though yawning after having had an excellent night's sleep. Those are, of course, the hard woods, for the soft-woods still seem to sleep, nodding their heads un- ceasingly in the refreshing morning air. The mountains, however, vary in their appearance, for old Moxie fto the north and east! raises a bold, but bare, head above all the surrounding country as though it too, agreed with the sun. The fact that it has a white, though slightly dirty, cap pulled low over its massive head only helps to emphasize its contempt. 16 BOREAS A long roll of white hills stretches its muscled arm to the south from old Moxie and disappears below the tree tops juts before touching old Fletcher, which slopes up from the same great depths and humps its shoulder under the sun as though vainly trying to help it to its great height in the heavens. Mayfield nestles itself like a wedge into this gap as though trying to hide itself and at the same time trying un- successfully to see what the outside world looks like. Why it should try to hide, even in winter, is beyond me, for it has a place of honor and is paid great attention in mid-summer, when the sun will cast its unsatisfied eye up- on the same territory but upon a vast- ly different scene.

Art Thou, mankind's Creator, The taker of his life? Has Thou two souls, oh Father, With which to guide us right, The first one great, yet gentle- The other of cruel might? Dids't Thou make War for pleasure, To touch the earth with blight, Or just to guide Thy children, And bring them all Thy light? I pray it be for guidanceg In righteousness of mind- May all the hosts of evil Thy mighty judgement Iind. PF ik all PK A TALL TALE' Once upon a time when Brighton, Maine, was much, much larger than it is now, a hunter and trapper by the name of Lote Smith lived there. He often told this story, which was his favorite. I am going to tell it to you now in his own words. Wal, boys, he's begin, maybe you've heard this before, but I know you'll be glad to hear it again. One day, I'm goin through the woods with my gun slung over my shoulder when I spies a big pine stub with a hole down the middle. Bein 'quisitive as all really great hunters are, I decides to iind out just what's inside o' that stub. So I lays my gun agin a tree and I climbs to the top of that stub. Wal, I git to the top and looks down the hollow when BANG!!! my gun slides down and goes off. That bullet whist- les by my ear and it scares me so I jump straight into the air four feet, if it's an inch, off the stub. When I comes down I fall right straight inter the hollow. Wal, I stays there two days and a half and when I come out I'm so thin people 'stake me for my own shadder. But the third morning I'm there I hear a scratch on the bark. I thinks to my- self, 'Bet my old straw hat that's a bar! Wal, it is and here's what hap- pens. I waits there and I'm scared al- most to death. At last the bar comes down backwards and I'm in there waiting. At last he gets down fur enuf to reach his tail. Wal, I git a good BOREAS 17 grip on his tail and gives a blood-curd- ling yell and that bar goes out of there on high. Me hanging on, I go out too. But when he gets outside of the tree I lets go, grabs my rifle and heads the other way. I run the whole four miles to my house. When I git there, I stuff myself so full of hot biscuits and good food I can't move for two days. But I bet that bar's still goin yet. Alice Pooler '46 ik 214 'K lk RAIN IN THE VALLEY by George V. Young The clouds are hanging low And the sun has ceased to shine. The wind is whispering softly In the tall and lonely pine. Then the lightning flashes eerily On mountain, hill and dale. And the rumble of the thunder Echoes loudly through the vale. The winds, now growing stronger Change the whispers to a wail, And the branches of the pine tree Sway and flutter in the gale. O'er the valley and the pine tree Comes a silvery sheet of rain. The gloomy landscape darkens And the thunder speaks again. The form of Old Bluff mountain Through the rain, so safe it looms. Now the lightning flashes brighter And again the thunder booms. Then as quickly as it started The storm begins to cease. And silence fills the valley With a quiet, misty peace. A PLEASANT WALK One day as I was walking slowly through the woods, I saw the most ad- mirable scene I had ever hoped to see. I took a few steps up to the top of a cliff, where I spotted several yellow dashes on the trees zig-zagging through the woods, I happened to think that I had heard my father speak of those yellow dashes follow- ing the Appalachian Trail. I had fol- lowed the trail a few rods, when I heard a noise that not one out of a hundred would recognize. l stepped under a shabby old pine tree and wait- ed until I heard the noise again. Then I discovered that the creature was in the tree over my head. I stepped a- side, where I could get a full view of the swaying branches. I looked at the tree for a long time. Then my eyes caught view of a small shining black object the size of a pin point. I finally knew it was the eye of a tree toad. The rest of the tree toad's body blended with the olive-brown of the bark. I watched him for a few minutes and then moved on about the trail. I happened to trip over a tiny twigg looking down to the ground, I discov- ered that my shoe was untied. I rested my foot on a stump so grey with age it had whiskers. Suddenly I heard a bub- bling sound under the ground. Just a- head of me was a small stream of wa- ter, bubbling between the rocks. I caught sight of a small trout, and as I glanced around I discovered that the stream was full of small trout, feeding on little bits of moss. The rocks were covered with green moss, which seem- ed to be the trout's home. At a right angle to the stream was an enormous beech tree, where squir- I+ 18 BOREAS rels and rabbits were gathering their winter's supply of nuts. As I slowly walked away from the stream, I came into a back field, part- ly grown up with small fir and pine. I heard the chitter of a squirrel, and a nimble deer leaped across the open- ing into the darkness of the woods. Following her were twin fawns look- ing for protection, There were various kinds of birds gathering to chatter about their jour- ney south. Later I came out on the main high- way and I happened to notice a sign Game Reserve . I was then satisfied to know why the animals were so friendly and tame. This was a pleasant walk, especially since the leaves had on their variega- ted fall coats and the seven sleep- ers, bear, snake, frog, raccoon, skunk, chipmunk and woodchuck, were get- ting their food for winter. Mildred Beane '44 lk Ik Ik FF ON TOP OF THE WORLD Suddenly I found myself walking on top of a cloud. I couldn't imagine where I was at firstg but after a while I found out, and it gave me a feeling of satisfaction to think that I, James Ingraham, had broken all the laws of science by actually walking on a cloud. The air, at first, seemed very thin, but it did not take me long to adjust myself to this condition. I walked a- long with comparative ease, hopping from one cloud to another. After stretching my legs in this fashion, I sat down on a large billowy cloud. It felt just like a feather mattress, and I couldn't help thinking that maybe this cloud was made up of some of those feathers I had lost in my last pil- low fight. As I sat there thinking, or trying to think, I saw a brilliant glow on the not-so-distant horizon. I rose slowly from the cloud and as I did, I realized that this glow was the most brilliant rainbow that I had ever seen, but even this strange and wonderful sight did not stir my blood so much as the yellowish glow at the end of it. I stood amazed as the thought of what the yellowish glow really was. It startled me so that I began to run to- ward it. It didn't seem far. I ran, and, as I ran, my feet seemed to take wings. I passed big clouds and small clouds, fat clouds and thin clouds. And then as I came from the midst of an especi- ally large cloud, I stopped in amaze- ment, for there in front of me sat all my fairy dreams, that fabulous pot of gold. With a mighty jump I leaped to- ward it, but just then something hit me. I looked up and saw my younger brother and heard my mother calling, Come to breakfast.

In our classes we aren't so smart, But we always try to do our part, Some of us like to laugh and giggle, While others can do nothing but wiggle. Now when it comes to carnival races The boys are the ones who make the paces: The girls stand back to shout and cheer And never once show signs of fear. When as seniors we take our place And go upstairs our teachers to faceg We hope we will meet their approval So they'll not authorize our removal.

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL Dear Boreas, When we looked at our calendar today we realized we hadn't written to you since last year! So much has transpired We won't be able to tell you half of it, but we'll try to remember the most important things. Last summer was grand! Of course we were busy. Several of us raised. Some of the girls canned and some of us raised hens and pigs. September came and we went back to school. There were sixteen of us in grade seven and twenty-four in grade eight. I suppose you will want to know who the class oflicers were. In grade seven Dale Newton was elected Pres- identg Madeline Dionne, Secretary- Treasurer. Rachel Robinson was elec- ted Student Council Representative. Joyce Hunnewell was appointed as room health officer. She kept records of our height, weight and who wore a mask. You don't know what a mask is, do you? We have Worn them in school all winter when we have a cold to protect people around us. Believe me, they did a lot of good, too. VVe have had a contest this spring to see how many would get their teeth all fixed. We think now about twenty- five will be awarded a health emblem for this. At Christmas we gave a pageant at BOREAS 25 SEVENTH GRADE Front row 11. to r.J: Colleen Rollins, Madeline Dionne, Merlene Young, Rachel Robinson, Eugenia Adams, Orlene Hutchins, Marcia Beane.

Those in the pageant were Marcia Beane, Ronald Hall, Francis Pooler, Kenneth and Wililam An- drews, Clyde Brackett, Emerson Rob- inson and Francis Hale. Practically all of the girls were in the chorus. Several of us participated in the winter carnival on Friday afternoon, January 14. The following people re- ceived prizes of Defense Stamps: Roger Wing won first place in the fifty yard, one hundred yard and the cross-country snowshoe races. Allen Goff won first place in the fif- ty and one hundred yard ski dash, sec- ond place in the fifty yard snowshoe dash and second place in the downhill ski. Bill Andrews came in third in the one hundred yard snowshoe dash. Alton Beane placed second in the one hundred yard snowshoe dash and third in the cross-country. Frances Heald did the honors for the girls. She won second place in the downhill ski, second in the one hun- dred yard ski dash, second in the fifty yard snowshoe and second in the cross country ski. Orland Hale had a bod accident that afternoon, but his leg has mended now. Our stamp sale from September 1 to April 1 totaled 35381.00 That is enough to clothe and equip three WACS! Our outlook isn't too pleasant just now for Achievement tests are coming and final tests but so is summer!

K c For the second successive year sports at Bingham High School opera- ted on a wartime basis which confined them chiefly to interclass competition. There were two reasons for this short- ened program: first, the problem of transportation for exchange games with other 'schoolsg second, a lack of interest brought about partly because we cannot have interscholastic games and partly because of a small enroll- ment of boys whose time in many cases is taken up with after school jobs. There is, of course, the additional problem of getting games with other schools since most schools in our class have practically abandoned athletics for the duration. X X X 3 Baseball We did, however, play three inter- scholastic games in baseball last spring: one with Solon, May 11, which we lost by the score of 3 to 2, one with Jackman, May 25, which was also lost, 13 to 52 and one with Solon, May 28, which we won by a 10 to 6 margin. The following were members of the squad: G. Berry, R. Garland, D. Sterling, E. Henderson, A. Heath, W. O'Brien, E. McIntyre, J. Ingraham, D. Gordon, J. Gordon, G. Adams, S. Pierce, E.

Intramurally it was not nearly as suc- cessful as the previous year because for various reasons it was seldom pos- sible to field two full teams at the same time. There were four varsity games played in which we gained an even split, dividing the two games with The Forks and also with Solon. The following comprised the team: G. Berry, R. Garland, B. Bean, W.

Just then as he ran he stumbled and exclaimed, Well, you donlt have to shove me! 41 li if lk Now, then Tommy Brown, said the teacher, I want to set you a little problem.

She asked the clerk how many girls worked in the office, and he said about half of them. i K It il Customer: The sausage you sent me were meat at one end and bread crumbs at the other.

She went for the immediate dis- posal of her case. So, said the judge sternly, you're a school teacher. That's fine. Madam, your presence here fulfills a longstanding am- bition for me. For years I have yearned to have a school teacher in this court.
