Some students, in later life, will find that they too have not used their capabilities and opportunities to the fullest. Sensible is the one who cultivates his resources in such form as to enable easier and happier life after leaving school. Opportunities for character building, sportsmanship. scholarship, etc., should not be passed by, for they will not only give extra recognition in school but will certainly strengthen tomorrowls America. No one should deny that the various awards, honors, representations. etc., are available to everybody, hut achieved by just a few. They are the schoolis gift to us for extra work and initiative. Let us all attempt to use every occasion of service to our school. or teachers or classmates, as a step in our ladder of success. I would like to sincerely thank, by these mere words, the various editors, assistants, typists and last, but certainly not least, the Northland Board 's faithful and helpful advisor, Mlrs. Bull, for the work and inspiration that they have put into this yearbook. Wayne Crouse Editor-in-chief , nay, e .

Replies to the ques- tionnaire indicated that only 672 of the students take home economics because they think it is a snap course. This year, with regard to the above finding, Washburn High added a spee- ial course in home economics for col- lege preparatory girls. Below are a few reactions from students taking this special course, or regular home economies:- Iiydia Randall- I have learned mueh about color combinations and how to wear my clothes i11 order to 111ake a better appearance. Jean Holts- This instruction will always help me i11 my future career. Virginia HaskellM4 A Taking t h i s course for just one period, I have learn- ed the fundamentals of sewing and have made pajamas and a dress. Charlene Plissey- This practical on-the-spot training will be a great help in my future. Besides the special class, there are three other home economics classes: Freshman science of daily living, with 28 students enrolled Qtreshmen are re- quired to take this coursel 1 and sopho- more, junior and senior classes com- bined. The tour classes bring the en' rollnient in home economics to fifty-one students. The l'lllllll'6' Homemakers of America. although a small group, was organized u11der the leadership ol' Miss Elaine liondeson. .ln November they sponsored, in con- nection with the sophomore foods class, a tea honoring the freshman girls. At lil1l'lSiH12lS time they generously gave their time and gifts in arranging three t'hristmas boxes, one which was sent to Holland, and two boxes tor needy fam- ilies ill VVashburn. ln February the Future I-lomemakers all enjoyed enter- taining the Future lfarmers at a ban- quet and social gathering, which fea- tured tl1e popular movie 'tHuckleberry Finn. Plans tor the spring program are to attend the Future Homemakers' con- vention in Augusta April 29 and 30th. Our official voting delegate to the con- vention will he Miss Elaine Bondeson president ot our local chapter. VVe al- so hope to honor Future Homemakers' 111others at a May tea.

The Beavers started a hit slowly this year, as we bowed to the Easton Bears in the first game. Donovan paced Washburn with 15 points. The final score was NVashburn 46, Easton 56. One of the more exciting games this year was Fort Fairfield at NVashburn. lt was nip and tuck all the way, hut Washburn finally emerged victorious with a score of 49-46. Donovan and R-ideout hit the hardest for XV2lSl1lJ1U Yl with I1 points each. The hoys were in rare form when they met Mapleton at Vlfashburn. A gain Donovan took top honors with a total of 21 points, The final score was XVashhurn 98, Mapleton 42. The lVildcats proved too much for the game. determined Beavers as Pres- que lsle trounced Washburn 47-67. Donovan rolled in l6 points again to he high scorer. .Xt Mars Hill the Beavers fought hard and long and the victory was cer- tainly well earned. lt was Donovan again who tallied the most points, as he hit for 19. The Beavers had 60 to A. CY l.'s 51. Yan Buren proved another victim of the Beavers at Van Buren. Leif Bull was Washbui-n's high nian this time with 13 points. Washburn had at the end 60, while Van Buren had 41. The New Yearls Eve ganie with Varihou was a heart breaker. The boys played a good game and tried hard, hut Varibou beat them. Tarbox made the most points, as he hit 16. The end of the game found 1Vashhurn with 55 to i'aribou's 56. At Houlton the Beavers took their worst shellacking this year. Larry Plis- sey lead the team with 10 points. Wzisli- hurn made 41 to Houlton's 75. Yan Buren at VVashburn took out some of the sting we suffered from the Houlton game, as the Beavers won it HS-62. Donovan scored 16 points to lead. Mlars Hill came to NVashhurn only to suffer another defeat at the hands of the eager Beavers. The game was very elose and exciting. lVashhurn ended up with a 56-55 score. The Beavers couldn't adapt them- selves to the length of Fort Fairfield's floor, therefore we suffered defeat. The tinal hell saw NVashburn with 64 and l1'ort with 73. Easton came to visit us, and even though Tarbox rolled in 20 points we were beaten by a score of 60-57. The Beavers journeyed to Presque lsle and again the VVildeats defeated the Beavers. Yilashburnls highest man was Tarbox with 12 points. The final seore was XVashburn 46, Presque Isle 59. At Caribou, Donald Foster lead Washburn with 17 points. The Beav- ers fought a good fight, but lost. NVash- burn had 57 and Caribou 66. Mapleton and XVashburn clashed at Mapletou, and the Beavers took the game. lVashburn rolled up 75 points and Mapleton 57. The red hot Keith Tarbox set a torrid pace for Vvasliburn when Houlton Came to see us. Keith hit for 25 points and even though we lost, it was one of the best games for the Beavers this year. Houlton managed to beat us with a 72-67 victory. On March l7th, the Beavers entered the semi-finals ini district fgtl- M lhampionship against Riekery,CentraI Institute. Keith Tarbox ledtlie5Beav ers with lfl points and we emerged vic- torious 58-45. A. C. I. and Washburn met at Pres- que Isle for the most sensational game ot the year. A. C. I. was ahead in the elosing minutes when the Beavers madc a last desperate effort and walked away with the district :,l.,'l:l MQ Champ- ionship. Donovan hit hardest for Washburn with l7 points. giving' us a 50-Jffl victory. The Eager Beavers tound themselves in Bangor Feb. 2-lth. The boys played a hard game and did their best. but poneut and we were defeated. Foste' was high scorer for XVashburn for ll 1 l it X , x i '.N ooints.

Lillian Jordan THE AUTO-IVIATIC DESK PENCIL SHARPEN ER An automatic desk pencil sharpener, is a device used to sharpen pencils automatically, using electricity. lt is just a small hole in the top of the desk. When the student desires to sharpen his pencil he just presses a button on his desk and sticks the pencil in the hole. When the pencil is sharpened to a. certain point, the sharpener turns it- self off. The sharpener is self sharp- ening, and has a small reserve of oil. Some of the advantages it has are: time saving, labor saving, no noise, no messy shavings, and it doesn't wear out as fast as an ordinary pencil sharpener. Care should be used in preventing the lingers from getting cut. 'l'he desk sharpener was invented by .lack Webb ot Hollywood. Valitornia. lie invented it in 1965 Init it wasn't on the market until 1973, He had used it l'or his own personal use, and hadn't dreamed ol' ever marketing it, until a l'riend ol' his, Jerry liewis. asked him why he didn't market it. Today the Webb-Lewis auto-matic desk pencil sharpeners are in all the public schools. lts sales for one year have passed the fl41,000,000 mark. It is rapidly spread- ing throughout the world and also to some ot the space stations. Stephen Stairs, '55 A BRIEF THOUGHT ON HISTORY Being curious of NVashburn's history, several days ago I visited the local li- brary for the purpose of finding infor- mation on its past. One item I was es- pecially desirous to learn of-for whom or what Washburn was named. In Adams' Unabridged History of Maine. 1825-1900 I discovered that Uriah H. Washburn was the chap for whom the town was named. It seems that Mr. XVashburn was the president of the now defunct Bulging Bustle Co. in Boston. In 1835 Gover- nor Adams delegated him to explore the northern part of Maine, for the state of Massachusetts was contemplat- ing giving Maine back to the Abnaki lndians. Mr. Vlfashburn apparently made the region around the present site ot' the town his base of operations. He explored and discovered the pie- turesque Gardiner Crick region and recognized its great potentials as a hog growing area. He established the only poolroom north ot Boston and it has continued to this day. In i837 a char- ter was given to Crouseville with a warning ot an invasion by Flewellings. t'ertainl,v there is reason to be proud of this great man. His unprecedented discoveries have given ns a better place in which to live. Wayne t'rouse. '55 LENORE Mr. Walker and lienore lived in a simple rustic cabin on the side ot a mountain in Crawford Notch, New Hampshire. lXrl'r. Walker was pretty spry l'or a man of seventy-two. l was visiting him one evening when a storm came up, lienore hadn't come in yet and Mr. Walker feared that she would be caught in the storm. Ile called to her several times but got no response. The storm came and it was a bad one. 'llhe wind violently whipped the rain through the trees and onto the bare ledges. We sat in silence tor a 'few minutes then Mr. Walker spoke, 'tYou know. Pete. l'm worried. Lenore inust be in trouble somewhere. 'tNow, Mr. VValker,', l said lfeebly, l.ienore has lived in these woods all l1er lil'e and she is capable of taking care of herselt in a stormf' Ile nnnnbled a muffled, T s'pose you're right. and sat back, trying to rest. The tury of the storm seemed to double every minute. The atmosphere in the little cottage grew more tense by the minute. XVe both envisioned poor Lenore in the wild storm with her long blonde hair drenching wet. Night- marish stories about wolves and bears passed through our minds. We could think of nothing else. Stnddenly Mr. Walker straightened up. liooking wild. he said, with ten- acity. 'Allin going out to look for Len- ore! Don 't you try to stop mel I'm going! I knew by that determined look in his eye that any attempt to stop him would be futile. He put on his overshoes. Every move he made was deliberate. He was a good man in an emergency. He donned his parka. took down his ancient rifle and some bullets, then opened a drawer illld. took out a. first aid kit. Have coffee ready for us when we get back. he said. -lust then we heard a soft step on the porcli. With tears streaming down his face Mr. Walker leaped at the door. flung it open and cried. Lenore. Sure enongh. there. drenching wet. stood Lenore. Mr. IValker's angora cat. Earl Waterman. '55 BEAVERS According to Webster the word Beavers means a term of hard working creatures noted for building dams to protect their underwater lodges or win- ter houses. But according to Aroos- took County the word Beavers means a basketball team with quick and ef- ficient thinking and acting boys, who when blended together form a vigor- ous working team that builds a power- ful dam against their opponent and al- most always comes out on top. So you might be able to say that NYebster doe- define the Washburn Beavers in that the dams that they build protect their long held record of winning games in- stead of protecting their lodges or win- ter houses.

'36 DESTRUCTION IN THE SCHOOL There has been and is too much de- struction in this school. ln the girls' basement one can find lipstick blotted almost anywhere one wants to look on the mirrors and other walls and stalls. This isn't necessary for there is always paper there. After lipstick dries it is almost impossible to wipe off. Then there are the holes being punched in the walls. This is done by the boys trying to exercise their muscles. This isn't necessary at all. When a hole is punched in the wall. a whole piece of wallboard has to be put on. This causes a lot of unnecessary work. Varying desks can't be blamed on just boys or just girls. it 's both. These desks cost a lot of money. IVhen a desk is carved on. it is impossible to write on it. These are just a few things which we have in this school. Destroying text books and breaking windows are Ufl.16I'S. If we could prevent some of this. maybe this money spent on destruction could be used for sports and other en- tertainment. Persis Mooers, '55 MOTHER AND DAUGHTER. Jane, I hope you havent got a date tonight, because you have got to take care of the baby for me. Remember I told you the other day that I had to go to a meeting. But, Mother, you told me you woulu get a baby sitter to sit with Billy, so, l told Roger I would go on the hay ride with hint. I cant call him up now and tell him I can't go. I know, dear, I tried to get a sitter but I couldn't find one. It is import- ant that l be at this meeting or l would stay at home. Oh, gee, mom! He will never ask me to go with him again if l tell him I canit go just two hours before he is supposed to pick me up. 'Well. I don't know what we can do. dear. I have got to go. Will it be very' late when you get home, Mom No, it wouldn't be very latef' Then why can't you take Billy with you? Because he should be in bed at 7 100. lt isn't going to hurt you to stay home one night out of a week. HO. K.. I'll call him. After she explains why she can't go. to Roger, she goes up to her room. A few minutes later she heard her moth- er talking on the phone. Her mother hangs up the phone and calls to her. Jane. come down here a minute. Now what have I got to do? You have-n't got to do a thing. I just got through talking to Mary Brown and she said the meeting had been postponed to next Friday night. So. you can go on the hay ride now. But. I called Roger and told him I couldn't go and I can't go alone. XYell. can't you call him back up and tell him you can go now. No. because I felt foolish enough calling the first time. So. we will both stay home. Now if I may. I'll go to bed. Good-nightfi Mother ! ! ! Charlene Plissey, '55 S277 . Speaking Contestants I j Q xxx First row: QI. 'l'z1ylm'. E. Dow, fr. Hideout. Y.

Literary WINTER IN AROOSTOOK The pi11e trees i11 tl1e background are laden LlONV11 with s11ow that is heavily falling. Tracks i11 the snow of n1e11 who have been in the woods are quick- ly covered by the s11ow. Tl1e sky is dark overhead. Lights come on in sur- rounding houses as it is getting near dusk. The hill where the children were sliding is silent. Everytliing is still ex- cept for the distant barking of a dog. Lillian Jordan WINTER As we look all around us, There are only hills of white, Over 011 the hill tops There is a s11ow ball fight. Boys a11d girls together, All have a happy time, When they go out sliding They have a hill to climb. . 1 As they come sliding Cl0WI1 the hill Une behind the other They sometimes get i11to a mess, Which sometimes is a bother. liut it is fun to flounder ln the white fluffy snow, But then it gets' so dark so quick That it is time to go. Diane Haskell DETENTION Tl1e kids that have detention Are the ones that always talk, And the 01168 that go on the bus Have a very long way to walk. The ones from our roo111 QYBD Are George, Nancy and Donald Wilder. llll bet you fifty cents I That the teachers wish they were milder. Katherine Rand BULB SNATCHER Hospitals are for sick people, but sometimes funny things happen there. While I was in the hospital, Mrs. Jones' night light wouldn't work. She asked the nurses three or four ti111es for a new bulb but they didn't bring one. The doctor had said Mrs. McKay could get out of bed that day. So while she was ill the bathroom Mrs. Jones took M'rs. Mcliayls good light bulb Zllld put l1er bad 0119 in place of it. That night Mrs. McKay said, 'LWell. l guess lfll read awhilefl S0 she turn- ed her light 011, but it wouldn't work. Thats funny. lt has been working, Mrs. McKay said. l'll ri11g for a nurse. Just the11 she looked over at Mrs. Jones a11d the guilty expression on her face told Mrs. McKay who the bulb snatcher was. Janice Clark WINTER SPORTS IN NEW ENGLAND The outdoor winter sports in New England are s11ow sl1oei11g, skiing, skat- ing, sliding, tobogganing, bobsledding, illltl. ice hockey. Hay rides are also a favorite winter pastime. On hay rides the people ride 011 a large sled or wagon covered with hay and drawn by a double team of horses. Ice hockey and skating take place on skating rinks. For the rest of the sports a good hard crust 011 top of the s11ow is necessary except for s11ow shoeing and skiing. Ski trails and ski lifts are located on mountains and high hills. About the only important indoor sport in New England is basketball. Throughout the winter the teams i11 each town are competing against each other for the county championship. In February the tournaments are held i11 each state. The state champions then compete with other state champions for the New England championship. Roger Jardine MISCHIEVOUS MONKEY NVhat will that creature do next? father growled, as Snips, our pet monkey, seized fathe-r's favorite pipe from the arm of his chair, climbed the trellis, and disappeared into an open window. Snips was a born thief, and he loved high places, from which we constantly had to rescue him. The answer to father's question came next day when a plumber, who had come to mend a leak in our sink, open- ed his kit of tools on the kitchen floor. Snips suddenly snatched the wrench from the tool box and ran upstairs, with the plumber close behind him. He ran into the back bedroom to the open window. Thank Qpuff, puffj goodness, I've got you trappedf' the plumber said out of breath. Give me my wrenchf' As the plumber sprang toward Snips, Snips ran down the trellis and into the kitchen. He dropped the wrench into the tool box and hid behind the sofa. The plumber came downstairs and finding the wrench in the tool box went to work. When he left, we heard him mutter, l hope I'll never have to come here again E Janice Clark LIFE IN THE AIR FORCE lt was six-thirty a. m. when a cali come into the lteady-ltooin. 'l'he Ready- ltoom is a place where usually six pilots stay over night. lt was the Sergeant and he said, Bill, there is an uniden- tified plane up there, go up and find out what it is. Dick, Tom, Ed and l went to our planes and took off. Once in the air you are on your own. The Sergeant back at the radar station was guiding us to our friend-or-foe. When We got within our planes' ra- dar distance, the sergeant told us to pick it up. It takes about thirty sec- onds to find the plane. We picked it up and started trailing him. Nilhen we got over Austin, I radioed the strange plane. liuckily, it was a friendly plane, so Dick, Tom, Ed and l turned back. The gas in our tanks would hold out about twenty minutes. I had been in the air about fifteen minutes - Dick fourteen minutes - Tim sixteen minutes - and Ed nine- teen minutes. The base was a.bout ten miles away. Ed knew he was going to crash. because of a low gas tank so he started climbing to about sixty-five thousand feet, so he could glide. I radioed the base and told them to send out a rescue plane. The rest of the boys and I flew to the base. About two miles from the base a hov- ering angel. as they call it, came flying over. We had just landed when the radio room man called us into the tower. lid was talking to the sergeant over the phone when we came in. l talked to lid first and was I surprised! lie told me to stop talking because he was ready to land. l said WHAT li' Then there was silence - then the roar of a jet landing, the next thing l knew Ed was standing beside us. XVe all said together - How did you get out of it? Then he said, Well after you left l noticed my gauge was still staying on eighteen so I flew until I saw the hov- ering-angel and radioed them that l was all right and so - here I am! And that goes to show you that in the Air Force, you can never tell what's going to happen! And by the way, we were flying Sabre Jets.
