That is primarily why we salute our flag and sing our National Anthem at each assembly. I wonder how many of us think of these facts while we salute and sing each week. If it should become routine or habit it might just as well be done away with. On the other hand since it hasn't even be- come a habit yet something more drastic must be done. So remember the next time our senior class president steps forward, that we have this beautiful free land and are proud of it. Let the rafters echo with America --the land of the free. Personally we wish to thank all who have made this edition of The Northland possible. Many difficulties were encountered and deadlines cut dangerously close, but the patience of all was greatly appreciated. David Northup , Editor AIIIVII ISIRAIIUN l . an ' 'I Se SQYFY .

Yours is a class of many talents. You will be missed in the future. We hope you will give Washburn High School the same active support as alumni that you have given as underclassmen. Your standards have been high and you have lived up to them. We sincerely hope that future classes will follow your example. Advice is one of the easiest things on earth to obtain and one of the most difficult to follow. You have had your share of advice during the past four years but I would like to take this opportunity to impart one final word before you embark upon your chosen careers. When you have lived out your lives and the final accounting is made, your contribution to society will not be measured in the material things that you have acquired but rather in what you have done to benefit mankind. The really successful person is the one who dies with the knowledge that his time on earth has been turned to useful account beyond the power of any man to estimate. It is not what you have but what you have been that counts. The very best of luck to each of you. Merrill E.

With Forty-three members and a new instructor the band began another year. During the fall term they worked on music for the Christmas concert which was a great success. Then they started work on material for the Spring Concert and the annual Music Festival. The band was left very few veterans this year but they have improved greatly Under the very capable leadership of Mr. Coco, graduate of B. U. and native of Lawrence, Mass.

Christmas carols were presented, also, Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, Pop Goes The Weasel, and Prayer of Thanksgiving. This was the best Concert given in several years. Mr. Coco has spent much time and effort with this group and at present the club is busy preparing for the music festival, which is being held at Millinocket this year. This year under the able tutoring of Mr. Coco, thirty-eight beginners turned out to play everything from the flute to the bass horn. Each student learning to play has one lesson during the week and on Tuesday they try to blend their toots and squeaks enmasse. Next year many of these same people will join the Regular Band replacing the I5 band members who are seniors and will be leaving at the end of the year. The best of luck to these beginners and may they find harmony with the Regular Band. SEATED: D. Thompson, R. Jardine, J. Carter, R. Wilder, L. Boyles, W. Wilder, T. Humphrey, P. Brewer, N.

Their program includes radio theory and demonstrations, construction of small radios and code oscillator, earphones, keys and code records. Some of the boys are capable of sending and receiving the code at five words per minute and have set up a practice circuit enabling them to send messages to each other. The boys hope to get some practice experience next year by building their own sets and working on old radios. We think that this radio club is a fine and helpful idea and we hope it will be kept up. mln mul: s umtrns I f f' President--F. To1T1Pkins Treas. -'S.

The busy Beaver team under the capable guidance of Head Beaver, Clifford Burkett, began building their Beaver house on November 24 this year. They laid the first log of the foundation over Mapleton High and finished it neatly against Van Buren and Easton. Little difficulty was encountered in putting up the Houlton ind A. C. I. sections in the side. lt required close teamwork all the way to get the Presque Isle side in place and it was the first time in 30 years that it hadn't been knocked out when they were working away from home surroundings. Next they added a supporting chink in the Easton forces. But as they attempted to raise another big section, the opposition from Fort was too great. However the branches from Caribou and a repeat performance with Houlton came in easily. Van Buren added 'another supporting chink and then a big Presque Isle section was added, followed by A. C. l. Again Fort edged out, by 2 points, but the Mapleton chink helped fill in and a tough overtime job with Caribou computed the main house. Their work was rated a 3 way tie with Fort and P. 1. in the Aroostook League. Now they were ready for the top room. The floor was put solidly in place over A. C. I. and Mapleton to win the Aroostook Medium Schools Tourney. Now the Major tasks of completing the roof at Bangor was at hand. This was the project of greatest interest! The Beavers hard work throughout the season paid off in a neat finish by defeating Hallowell and Lubec, and coming to the finals with Greenville. But a 3-point hole was put in the roof by the Lakers. However, a new roof was given in merit for the sportsmanship of the players, and the cheerleaders and fans who had supported them all the way. It was the second year in, succession our team had completed their Beaver housein style by receiving the Medium Schools Sportsmanship Award from the Bangor Joycees.

Besides this we earned 575. selling sandwiches, coke, and fudge at our ball games. with C arolyn Our first evening at Bangor we were individually in- terviewed over WABI by the Bangor Chamber of Com- merce at the Bangor auditorium.

A MILKMAN SEES THE WORLD FROM AN UNUSUAL POINT OF VIEW Personally I wouldn't care to be a milkman, but we must admit he sees and hears some interesting things. Let's take a typical morning on Mr. Bottlecap 's milk route. The first house on the street is dark and silent. A nice old couple live here and they are very quiet and are not fussy, like some old folks. The second house is silent and also the third, but the fourth---I From the back of the house comes enough banging and crashing to awaken the whole cityl Oh well, this doesn't alarm the milkman. He knows it is only Mrs. Quicktemper beating her no-good husban with the dishpan. He'll learn after a while not to stay out 'till all hours of the morning playing cardsl The fifth house is dark too, but on the faintly lighted porch there is what looks like a man. But if you look long enough you can see it is really two people. A girl and a boy of coursel That is Miss Figure. She has so many boyfriends she can't decide whom to marry. The last house on the street belongs to a young couple just recently married. They are returning from a party and I suspect they are a little highl At least by the way they are acting they must bel ' The young husband is chasing his wife up the walk, yelping and growling like something wild. With each growl she screams a little louder. As they disappear into the house, the milkman shakes his head and proceeds down the street. Sonya Bull, 56 THE OLD AND THEN THE NEW The idol of yesterday is pushed out of the public's mind by the heroes and heroines of today. Just as our parents day has faded into the past to make way for the present-day generation, so has the attitude of the people changed. Take the entertainment world for instance. In Mother 's day Charles Boyer's name had only to be mentioned and Mother was out like a light. Father acted the same whenever Marlene Dietrich was mentioned. Father and Mother liked something dramatic but today we like something light and breezy. And what are the stars of today? Today everybody is swooning over Tony Curtis, Rock Hudson, Stewart Granger, Piper Laurie, Debbie Reynolds, Zsa Zsa Gabor, and Pier Angell, to mention only a few. Whereas years ago the young and old alike used to enjoy slow sentimental music now they go for the jazz experts, Harry James, Benny Goodman, and those singing stars Rosemary Clooney, Eddie Fisher, Perry Como, The Mills Brothers, and Judy Canova. To be sure we have our sentimental pieces but the ngrmaj trends is toward jazz, jazz, and more jazz. It used to be that each town, large or small, had someone who was broad-shouldered and athletic. Everyone fixed his admiration on this person but now that hero has to take a back seat and let world-famous stars like Ted Williams, Joe Dimaggio, and Rockey Marciano take the spotlight. b Even the political world has shown a marked change. Whereas years ago learned statesman from the age of fifty up ran our government, today younger men and even some women have started to take over, So I guess it's quite obvious that there have been some changes around here. In the next generation there will be another change from the way we see the world today. Not only do people change but the land, machinery, and the character of the world changes also. But as Frances fthe talking mulej once said, There's a place and a time for everything, and Dearie, this is sure the time and place for mel Noreen McBreairty 55 34 Boys' Fate Here come the boys nowg Again they 're late for school We all know where thay 've been of course, At Baldy's shootin' pool. They're sent up to the office To give the warden an excuse. Their hands are in their pockets, And not a grin lets loose. In their minds they're ponderingg Thinking with what's there, To find words to say to the warden Sittin' calmly in his chair. They tell him that the town clock Said thirteen after noon. So they climbed in Tricker's car to start, And got here very soon. Now Nate he took the starterg And Chuck he manned the gears. And Tricker took the throttleg But by now detention nearsl So there'l1 be one hour for each tonight For the excuses aren 't good enough. And if Clum has to tend the pigsg Well, then that is just too tough.

June Huston 54 A Famous Victory Washburn journeyed to P.I. last night And put up a heck of a fight, The Beavers were behind at the start But the teams were never very far apart. The Wildcats were fast and snappy that's true, But so were the good old gold and blue. The tip-off was controlled by P. I. I fear, Then the first basket was made by Cyr. The first quarter was rather slow With neither team on the go, The score was tied up eight to eight, P.I. hadn't counted on such a fate. The buzzer sounded for play to begin With Coach Bill Hanscom's second team in. ice The Beavers' first team were still holding true, As the half-time score will prove to you. The third quarter was mighty close With Dick Donovan scoring the most. Hay and Plissey were good on foul shots And in that game they counted alot. Farley and Tarbox were there for the rebound, No better men could be found. At the end of the quarter the score was tied With Coach Burkett fit to be tied. The last quarter was a nip and tuck With the Wildcats playing on sheer luck. First one team scored and then the other, We beat them once and can anotherl l 1 1 I Any Drost 54 R A BOY EXPLAINS TO l-IIS FATHER WHY HIS GRADES ARE IDWER Herb had just called home from college and he had to tell his father about his grades, which in the last semester had dropped considerably. Hi--Hi, Dad. H -Ho how are things getting along at the farm? Very good, but what's this I hear about your flunking all your subjects? We--well, I missed a few classes and - Missed a few classes, what to heck were you doing to miss classes? Well, 1t's a long story. Well, make it snappy. First of all you know we had a big wind storm down here and-- Now, don't tell me the wind-- The wind, gosh no, Dad, The wind didn't do it, well, in a sense it did --but-- Well, tell me about it then. You see the wind blew the top off the silo down here and-- And it hit you on the head? No. No. The Agriculture boys had to fix it. And you know I'm one and-- You mean they made you work during class time. Now, listen, Dad, just keep quiet and I'll tell you everything. Herb tells his story. Because I had to go to classes last week while they were fixing the silo, they made me clean up the excess bricks and concrete. They raised the bricks up to the top of the silo with a barrel hitched to a rope and pully. There were some bricks up on top of the silo so I hoisted the barrel up and climbed up and filled the barrel with bricks. Then I climbed back down and untied the ropes and started to let the bricks down easy like. Well, much to my surprise, the bricks were heavier than I was and when the barrel came down I went up. I decided to let go of the rope but I looked down and I decided to hang on. About this time my hands were getting sore but I hung on. About halfway up I met the barrel and it hit me quite hard on the left shoulder and it ripped the leg off my pants. But I still hung on. I kept going up and when I reached the top I hit my head quite hard and I pinched my thumb on the pully. 'That wasn't so bad but when the barrel hit the ground the bottom fell out and the barrel went up and I went down. But I still hung on the rope. I met the barrel halfway again and I skun my right shin and slapped the back of my head. I hit the ground quite hard and I landed in the pile of bricks that weren't too soft. But then I did the dumbest thing--I let go of the rope and down came the barrel and it hit me squarely on the head. 'I'hat's why I ain't been writing -- I been in the hospital. Your time is up deposit SI. 50, please. Paul Thompson 54 The Lass's Song Stop, stop and see the lass, In the field as you pass, While she cuts and binds her grain, She sings a melancholy strain, As I stand profound, Listening to the sound. I listened still, As I continued up the hill, And in my heart I bore, Her song forever more. Lois Pooler 55 36 STAMP COLLECTING One day in Washington D. C. , a man walked up to the stamp window in the post office and paid for a 24 cent airmail stamp. As he put it on his letter, he noticed that the small airplane reproduced on the stamp , was upside down. Going back to the clerk he bought the whole sheet for 324. Recognizing the value of the stamps he refused to sell them back to the Postal Department when they discovered their mistake. The stamps were sold to collectors at a price of 33,500 dollars each. This story illustrates the ever eager hunt for rare stamps. However, the most valuable stamps in the world was discovered by a boy living in British Guiana, who, unfortunately for him, did not recognize its value and sold it for SI. 50. Today that same stamp is worth 350, ooo. lt was once in the possession Of the greatest stamp collector of all times, the Austrian Count Philip la Renotiere von Ferrary. When he died his entire collection sold in fourteen auctions for a price exceeding 32, 00o,00O. Philately is the name applied to the science of stamp collecting. A philatelist is distinguished from a collector in that he has, through his study or writing, added to the knowledge of stamps. Ever since 1840 when stamps were first used by the British, people have been collecting themg young or old, famous or humble. Queen Elizabeth II has the world's best collection of United Kingdom stamps. The demand that collectors have put on the Postal Department has made them establish a special service. Wayne Crouse 55 ON CHEWING GUM This afternoon I shall go down to Thompson's Rexall for my daily diet of Dentyne. In the past years I have become a fair gum-chewer but by no means a perfectionist. This art of chewing gum is something highly regarded by high school students. It is of greatest value to calm your nerves during final exams or an exciting, close, basketball game. The most talented of gum-chewers must be able to get the full value from the gum without being seen by a teacher. He must be able to quickly slip the gum behind his tongue, behind his ear or to swallow it. The last resort mentioned is not so satisfactory since good sticky gum will clog up one's esophagus. Gum chewing amateurs begin at about the second or third grade and become professionals when they are in college. This is a long and arduous task, but many people have taken the time to make it a life's work or hobby. As very green freshmen we had a debate as to the reasons pro and con gum chewing since some people have the audacity to label it unconventional as far as school purposes are concerned. As I remember it was a close vote but we gum chewers had a slight edge. Since it was never taken to student council or teachers' meeting, we supposed artists are still running up detention bills. My fervent hope and aim is to see a course on the art of gum chewing here in high school but till it's here I must go on in steady practice to become a professional gumchewer with all the technique and finesse of my predecessors Verle and Tonto who had the aid of a plate. I mean, they each had one. Someday I hope the truths of this bit of literature combined with our rights from the Constitution shall bring the fifth freedom--Freedom to chew gum! 1 David Northup 54 SNOW The snow is falling all around, It falls on houses, trees and ground, It falls on mountains, too, you see, And it falls also on you and me. can Rand 55 37 Pemetic High School Pemetic --A very good book.

We had a spelling-contest, we chose two captains. The captains were Bonnie Plissey and David Young. Lillian Jordan won the contest. With Mr. Lent as our advisor we will surely be a success. Lillian Jordan Peggy Brewer Bonnie Plissey llllll BEAVIRS lll Unto Eternity There was a high whine from the gyroscope as Charles Miller, the engineer, pressed the button that set them whirling. As the ship was warming up, they heard a dull explosion from outside that told them that in IO seconds they would set off. This was in the year 2258A. D. , and four men, Charles Miller, the engineer, Patrick O'Neil, Radar and Ultri-short wave operator, John Matthews, the pilot, and Richard White, Technician and flight surgeon, were making the first trip to Jupiter. The sleek, smooth, pencil shaped KRAKON, the ship they were to go in, was poised now for the takeoff. Charles was counting the seconds to take off. 5'4'3'2-I -o There was a loud explosion and Charles felt himself sinking deeper and deeper into the thick mattress. His eyes felt as if they would go clear through his head. It was very difficult to breath. They lay there for I4 minutes, unable to move, before they felt the pressure decrease. He moved his arm with increasing easiness. Then he sat up. Suddenly, he realized he had little weight at all. John forgot this, and jumped up so suddenly that he floated to the ceiling, hit his head against a projecting knob and floated back lifelessly. Just as Charles got to him, the ship whirled away from his feet. There was a sharp shout from Patrick. He said that the ship was turning off into space. Charles looked at the ceiling and looked at what he thought he'd seen and broke out into a cold sweat. The kilo cylinder had been broken by John's flight. He knew what this meant. It set off an emergency steam socket that would turn the ship I8OO off its course, and it could not be turned back again. That meant an endless flight into the depths of space, beyond infinity, forever. A phrase swam in his mind. Unto Eternity ---- -- David Rand The People of the Frontier They took little ones and went To new and fertile soil which wasn 't spent As the soil from way out east But what they found wasn 't a feast. They went for land that was free On some of the land you couldn't see a tree Yet they settled to grow their crops Despite the Indians whose war they couldn't stop. They built their homes of what was near And settled there to live in constant fear Of Indians who killed and plundered Even though they were scared of the sticks that thundered. If not for these brave and courageous souls The west would have remained unsettled for ages untold They settled despite the odds that were many They built their homes, reared their children in a land wild and filled with hate, kindness love, and envy. Emily Carman Spring Winter snow is going now Because spring is here again, No more sleds, skis, or plow, But just lots and lots of spring rain. Lovely birds' are coming back, And I hope there back to stay Every where you to it seems, There are children busy at play. Yes, spring is here, spring is here, And the grass is turning green, Flowers, flowers every where, Everything is so beautiful to be seen Just lovely things now shall remain, All because spring is here again, The sky is turning a pretty blue, I think it's pretty don't you. Arlene Farley Autumn In Aroostook The Golden Rod is yellow The corn is turning brown The trees in apple orchards, With fruit are bending down. This Pan of 3 Poem gives a very good description of Autumn in Aroostook. This is a very busy time when farmers are hurrying to get their crops out of the ground. The trees are a mass of beautiful colors. At last the time comes when the birds all go away to make their home in a warmer climate. The beautiful leaves fall to the ground. Everything seems solbare and lonely. It looks as though it won't be long before the beautiful white coating of snow will soon be here. It changes the world all over. But don't forget there will be another Autumn. Carolyn Nickerson Arithmetic Class Our Arithmetic Class is always fun, Because Bob C. is always telling of his shot-gun. And he tells tales about his rooster Speckles Or about all of his freckles. Then there 's always Lorne B. who will day dream, And when they speak of Emily C. the tears will Almost seem to stream. And Barbara K. is always turned around While Bill C. not making a sound. Last comes Roland D. who's always sleeping, Or Roberta T. who is sometimes keeping Very hard from sass. So ends our Arithmetic Class. Linda Bull A Noise in the Night Bob and Ned was already in bed for the night. Ned had gone to sleep but Bob hadn't. He was just lying down a thinking. Then at once Bob heard a noise downstairs. He jumped up out of bed wide-eyed. He then turned on the light and went downstairs. He couldn 't see nor hear anything that would have made a noise. He went back upstairs and got in bed again. Then he heard the noise again. I'm going to get it this time if it costs my life. He was careful this time not to turn on a light or to make so much noise. He reached for the flashlight on a table near by. He quickly snapped on the flashlight in the direction he heard the noise. But to his surprise what should he see--nothing more than his pet cat Fluffy. She had been trying to catch a mouse which was bothering her. She had already caught the mouse. Bob then put Fluffy outside with her precious little mouse. Well l guess I've had enough of this to last a century, he said. Then with a sigh went up to bed and fell in a deep slumber, D Lillian Jordan 55 Hr 'I H fn SEATED: R. Clayton, L. Doody, L. Boyles, R. Langley, J. Clark, D. Spooner, SECOND ROW: L. Boulier, W.

There were only two teams about our size, the teams were Limestone and Easton and we beat both teams twice. Those were our only victories this season for the Vars y 4 Wins against 8 losses. Most of the games we lost were because of the great height advantage the other team had over us and sometimes we were not playing our best. The scores of the varsity games are as follows: Caribou 58--Washburn 23g Fort 55 -- Washburn 20 as you can see we came out on the wrong end of those games, but the next game or two will show improvement. Limestone 30- Washburn 409 Caribou 50--Washburn 269 Easton 33--Washburn 36 Mapleton 42 'Washburn 199 Presque 1816 53 '- Washburn 23g Easton 29--Washburn 33g Fort 37--Washburn 33 Limestone 29--Washburn 47.

Her mother had died and her father was very sick. Her name was Mary. Mary had to earn money to pay for food and clothing, for her father couldn't earn any money. Mary tried to sell scarfs that she had knitted, but people were very rude to her and wouldn't listen to her. Finally a kind woman bought all of her scarfs which left her S5. OO to buy food with. Mary bought a week's supply of food, medicine for her father, and some clothes. One day she heard of the newborn king and wanted very much to go and see him, but she couldn't leave her father. She prayed and prayed that her. father would get well so that both of them could go and see the new born king together. The next day the doctor came to see Mary's father and said that he wouldn't live through the next night. This troubled Mary greatly and she lay down on her bed and started crying. Suddenly there came a knock at the door and Mary went to answer it. The woman that had bought Mary's scarfs was collecting money to buy a gift for the newborn king. The woman saw tears on Mary's cheeks and asked her what the matter was. Mary told her about her father and the kind woman told her to pray and not to worry about it. With that she closed the door and left. That night, how- ever, Mary's father didn't die, but turned well. In the morning Mary's eyes were filled with tears of joy of what she saw because her father was up cooking breakfast. He had been out earlier selling baskets that he had made a long time ago and got enough money to last for a year of food and clothing supplies. Mary was so happy that she got out of bed, ran and kissed father. That day the kind woman came to see how Mary's father was and she was wel- comed into the house when Mary saw who it was. The next day they all went to see the newborn king together. How happy and gay they were. When they got back home Mary's father asked the woman if she would marry him and she said yes. They fixed the house all up and painted it outside and in. Mary was just about the happiest girl in the world. They were never poor again.
