Looking over the editorial in the first Nautilus, I find that there is now a problem identical to one mentioned in that article. This problem was and is, as Dr. Libby put it, the need to keep up a constant clamor for students to help contribute to its columns and take a deeper interest in its work. There was some disappointment among a few of the pupils after last year's Nautilus was published, because of the lack of literature in the book. Of course, some failed to realize that with the establishment of the weekly Panther News, last year, the Nautilus became a year-book, with the express purpose of being a souvenir, for the students, of its year's works and achievements. However, Worth While literary material is always de- sired for publication, and this year an appeal has been made to the pupils for some articles. If the pupils had wanted certain articles published, they should have written some. In looking over the old issues of the Nautilus, the need of a larger building was apparent. Our present school was erected in 1912 but owing to difliculties in finding a solid foundation the building operations were de- layed. Large posts were erected in the gymnasium in order to reinforce the structure and since that time the students have been without a suitable auditorium or gymnasium. These sorely needed rooms seem to be only day-dreams. In 1931 the auditorium and chemistry laboratory were divided to provide for the much needed class-rooms. In 1936 a wing was added to the building to provide for class-rooms. At the time when the left wing was built, hopes were high for having another wing in which would be a gymnasium and an auditorium. The high school could not seem to raise enough money for the other wing, but everyone hopes for this addition for the future students. Since the starting of this paper, there have been many changes in its form. The paper used to be published four times a year having a fall, win- ter, spring, and commencement issue each year. This practice was stopped when the paper ran into financial difliculty. In its present form, We be- lieve the Nautilus is living up to its emblem of growth, and with this in mind the Board presents to you the Nautilus of 1938. THE NAMING OF THE NAUTILUSH The poet pictures the nautilus as the ship of pearl, the venturous bark that flings on the sweet summer winds its purpled wings. Its delicate and perfect development has always been an example of growth. It was the thought of this that suggested to me the name of Nautilus for the Water- ville High School paper. The vision I had for the paper many years ago is being realized as, like the nautilus, Year after year beheld the silent toil That spread his lustrous coilg Still as the spiral grew, He left the past year's dwelling for the new. O Nautilus, in future years, Build thee more stately mansions. FRANCES E. MORRILL. Wate1'ville, May 15, 1938. Dear Miss Editor, An invitation came to me a few days ago from a member of the staff of the Nau- tilus to contribute a short article to the last issue of the current year. The invitation was couched in 'terms that startled me for the moment: This, you know, is the fortieth anniversary of the Nautilus. ' , ' i The fortieth year of the Nautilus, and I its first editor! The Nautilus my brain- child! Hang the almanac's cheat and the catalogue's spite! Old Time is a liar! We're twenty to-night! The poet may sing his lays and the philosopher may philosophize, and calendars may be turned to the wall-and tell-tale catalogues may be dest1'oyed--but the years, rolling relentlessly on, will tell no untrue tales. My memory is, and my old scrap-book of high school days supports it, that in 1897 the students of the high school gave their unqualified approval of a proposed school paper, then un-named. The teachers of the school, especially Miss Frances Morrill and Minnie Smith, joined wholeheartedly with the class in an undertaking which, in those far-off days, was of very great concern. I think I do not mistake the fact that the idea first occurred to me that the school could support such a venture. While we made our plans in the junior year the paper was not issued until the calendar year 1897-1898 which was then our senior year. I recall that we held a meeting of all the students of the school and there were warm arguments about the undertaking. The result of these deliberations was that the school would support it, and forthwith a board was named to edit and manage it. My scrap-book gives the board as follows: Editor-in-chief, Herbert C. Libby, '98g assistant editors, Nellie M. Lovering, '98, Lois Hoxie, '99, literary work, Gertrude I. Mathews, '98g personals and athletics, E. E. Gallert, '98, locals, Grace A. Balentine, '98g business manager, L. Eugene Thayer, '98g assistant business manager, Merle F. Varney, '98g treasurer, Arthur G. Vose, '99g secretary, Elmer Allen, '99. The clipping in question goes on to state: The paper will first issue February 9. The matter of naming the paper was left to the judgment of Miss Morrill, one of the teachers in the school. After the business was transacted, Superintendent Waters made an address that was very much appreciated. Of those mentioned in the above clipping, Miss Lovering became the wife of Wil- lard H. Rockwood, and is now living in this cityg Miss Hoxie became the wife of Rev. William A. Smith, who himself was a former teacher in the high school, and is now living in Augustag Miss Mathews became the wife of Charles R. Flood, and is now liv- ing on the Pacific coastg Mr. Gallert is now a merchant in New York Cityg Miss Balen- tine is deceased, Mr. Thayer, who became mayor of Waterville, is now deceasedg Mr. Varney now lives in Augusta and is connected with the Internal Revenue Office, Mr. Vose, who became, I think, the second editor of the paper, is now a resident of Caribou and holds a responsible position with the telephone company there, Mr. Allen, is a resi- dent of Watervilleg Miss Morrill, after a long service in the high school, retired and is now living on Winter street, Supt. Waters is now living in Fullerton, California. Time has certainly been most kind to those who, forty years ago, played a part in founding our school paper. The work of editing the Nautilus was thrilling in the extreme. In the years since, I have edited a number of weekly and daily papers, but never have I experi- enced the thrill that I did when the first copies of the Nautilus were delivered into our hands. For was I not actually now seeing with my own eyes my fellow-students reading what I regarded, p1'oba'bly somewhat selfishly, as the product of my own brain? As I remember it, material did not come fiooding in upon the board of editors. It never does. I soon discovered that if the paper was to issue, pretty much of the ma- terial must drip from my own feeble pen. I have not before me a copy of that first issue. I know it is somewhere hidden 9 away among the many books that have accumulated through the years. I know it, because I should feel lost without its secret presence. But even though I do not have before me the book itself, I do have my old scrap-book and there stand out from its yellowed pages three or four accounts of Volume 1, Number 1. On the whole, the accounts are lauditory: The initial number is an interesting one and reflects great credit on the board of editors. The account goes on to say: The book contains 24 pages of matter interesting to the students and alumni of the school. On the cover is a half-tone picture of the school-building, and the frontispiece is a fine half-tone likeness of Mrs. B. F. Philbrick, who, as Miss Mary fMinnieJ Smith was so long con- nected with the school. The literary features are many and include a sketch of Prin- cipal Marsh. . . The merchants of the city have patronized the publication liberally, 11 pages of advertising appearing in the first number. The paper deserves the success which seems in store for it, judging from the large advance subscription which has been secured by the management. As I recall it, that large advance subscription totalled 125i It will be of interest to know that a precursor of the Nautilus was a junior paper which consisted of letters and news-notes carefully garnered and then read publicly at a meeting of all the students of the school. For many of the 30 years that I have taught in Colby College, I have given a course in Journalism, and in that course we learn that in the old days we first had the spoken newspaper, then the written, then the half written and half printed, and finally the fully printed. Well, it would seem that in the old Waterville high school we ran pretty nearly true to form. We certain- ly had the spoken newspaper and the written newspaper for I was one of a small group who on a memorable night in my junior year read from the platform what was under- stood to be the contents of our school paper. One of the letters I prize highly today was from our former Principal, Denis E. Bowman, then living in Eureka, New York, now living in California where he practices law. So much, therefore, for our daring venture of forty years ago. It is a very com- forting thought to know that even after the lapse of all these years, the Nautilus continues to fill a real place among the extra-curricular activities of our old school.

Feeling very new and insignificant, we meekly asked our upperclassmen A the way around and after many hours of hard labor, we finally found our- selves established in our homerooms with our very bewildering schedules. It took days and days to really get acquainted with the new school, but by the time of the Buy-A-Brick-Campaign we were full-fiedged students. No one worked any harder than we did for that new wing, and it was with great delight that we re- ceived the news on January 15 that success was ours, and work on the new wing would begin immediately. All too soon came June and graduation, and even though we were merely sopho- mores, with tears in our eyes we watched our newly-made Senior f1'icnds depart with their diplomas. The new addition proudly awaited us as we began our next year, and just as proudly we established ourselves as experienced Juniors. That year of '36-'37 passed rapidly, and soon it was time for the Purple and White and French Club Outings. The important event of that year was the establishing of the Panther News, our weekly paper. Then came the all important year, '37-'38, And what a year! Now we were dig- nified Seniors, and many happenings made us justly proud of our Alma Mater. First, there was the Football State Championship, and there was never a game that our senior classmates in the line didn't make us shout with joy. Then the hockey team brought home another State Championship title, and again the Seniors in the games played in true purple and white fashion. Miracles of miracles: For the Hrst time in nine years, the Waterville High Bas- ketball boys beat the Winslowites, with seniors Gabe Hikel, Bob LaFleur, and Normie Ivers leading the attack. January 28 of this year brought the school play with seniors Mary Farrell, Ann Jones, Shirley Thompson, and Raymond Lacombe expertly interpreting leading roles. On April 16, 20 prospective graduates departed for Washington, and Mr. Mathews announced the honor students With Rena Libby and Raymond Lacombe winning chief honors. We are very proud of our class president who won prizes in three speaking con- tests during his senior year: Declamations at U. of M., and Montgomery, and the First Annual Senior High Prize Speaking. As this is being written, we realize that for many this will be the last year of school life, and we know that great things face every graduating student. Although each one declares that he will 'be glad when June arrives, it will be with tears and many fond memories that we solemnly receive that document that will mean our days at Waterville High are over.

NORA PUTNAM Practical Arts GEORGE HODEN STEVENS I Practical Arts -1 . .T JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY - E started our Hrst year at Senior High on September 9, 1936. Everything was W new and bewildering. - Our Sophomore election resulted as follows: President, Richard Dubord, Vice President, Geraldine Farnham, Secre- tary, Frances Jobing Treasurer, Charles Gilmang Executive Committee, Carl Ware, Betty Whitney and Lomar Turmel. Joe Hachey and Robert Carey represented the class in varsity football and bas- ketball. In the annual High School play, Elizabeth Beale capably acted the title role of Miss Millions. Her sophomore supporters in the cast included John Moses, William Barteaux, and Virginia Sahagian. The play was, as always, a great success. Yvette Boisvert and Frances Jobin were elected cheerleaders for the following yea1'. Our class greatly enjoyed the use of the new wing. On September 8, 1937, we climbed the steps of dear old Waterville High for the second year. The following officers were chosen: President, Lomar Turmelg Vice President, Reed Lott, Secretary, Fred Cooper, Treasurer, Alyre Ouellette, Executive Committee, Madeline Waters, Glendon McCorri- son, Kenneth Winslow. To get more to 'bank and to secure a higher percentage, the Panther News con- ducted a banking contest. Fred Cooper, the banker who won, receives his Panther News as a gift, the prize of the contest. This yea1 s play, Aunt Abby Answers an Ad, found Yvette Boisvert, John Moses, Elizabeth Beale and Richard Dubord giving superb performances. Waterville High has added three sports to its list. These are hockey, girls' soft- ball, and golf. Our class is well represented in each. The one-act play contest, held at Lawrence High School, in Fairfield, was practi- cally a Junior production. Waterville High won the trophy. The cast of six included James Belyea, John Moses, Anne Folsom, and Richard Dubord, all Juniors. Now, with much anticipation, we look forward to entering our last year at Water- ville Senior High School. 26 I SGPHOMGRE CLASS HISTORY HE school year opened on September 8, 1937, and welcomed the Sophomore - class of Waterville Senior High School. A few weeks later, class of- cers were elected. They are as follows: President, Harold Vigueg Ex-Vice M' 5' President, Adelaide Moore, Secretary, Mary Getchellg Treasurer, Robert Stewartg and Executive Committee, Betty Maheu, Arlene Rancourt, and Regina Poulin. Members of the class have taken a large part in the activities of the school. The boys on the football team were George Cyr, John Joseph, and David Corey. Those on the hockey team were George Cyr, and Arthur Lemieux. The basketball team claimed Nasseeb Corey, David Corey, and John Joseph, while those on the baseball team are George Cyr and David Corey. Two Sophomores achieved recognition in the school play and one act play. They were Priscilla Hopkins and Richard Hodsdon. The girls also go out for their share of laurels and the tennis team boasts of Frances Higgins, while the Sophomore girls on the softball team are Geraldine Breton, Charlene Dawn- ing, Alice King, Annie George, Muriel Burke. Altogether, we may easily say that this class is hard to beat. 27 ' 1 N AUTILUS BOARD Last fall the Nautilus Board had its first meeting. At that time, they nominated candidates to fill all vacancies on the staff. The list of nominees was given to the pupils to vote on and the results were as follows: Editor-in-Chief-Martha Rogers. Assistant Editors-Frances Jobin, Geraldine Farnham, Betty Maheu. Business Manager-Newell Bugbee. Assistant Managers-Reed Lott, William Barteaux, Harold Viguc. Sports Editor-Robert LaFleu1'. Local Editor-Carmeline Duquette. Exchange Editor-Gordon Winters. Senior Representative-Shirley Thompson. Junior Representative-Hope Day. Sophomore Representative-William Tobey. Mr. Mathews is the treasurer of the publication. Miss Freeman, faculty adviser, gives unsparingly of her time and ability to make the yearbook a success. After the Christmas vacation, the editors and the business manager started to work on the Senior picture. From that time, slowly but surely, the Nautilus has been shaping itself. We wish to particularly mention the works of two students, Natalie Rollins and George Stevens. The portrait sketches for the Dedication and Faculty cuts were done by these fine artists. We also express an appreciation to Mr. Sprague for his assist- ance in taking the pictures. This year's staff has followed the principles started by last year's, because the yearbook was very well received by everyone. The Board has done its best, and hopes that the students will enjoy this issue. H 28 L ,rf ' , ' V ,,7f x-..a-,'-ae Y , . ,.-. FRENCH CLUB LECTION of ofiicers was held at the first meeting of the 'French Club this year. - The officers elected were as follows: President, Howard Rowell. ' Vice President, Madeline Waters. Treasurer, June DuGay. - Secretary, Priscilla Hopkins. 1 Executive Committee, Hilda Niehoif, Jean Ferrell, Milard Frodel. Faculty Adviser, Mrs. Perry. Very few activities have been carried on by the club this year, and lack of snow prevented a second Winter Carnivalg but all are eagerly looking forward to the annual outing' at some pond. 29 E ..-f--f- e - T ,N A X ff THE LATIN CLUB HE Latin Club has been very active this year, and it has held it meetings reg- ularly Fine programs have been provided. QQI- The first meeting was held on September 16, 1937. The following ofiicers ky' - were elected: President, Vivian Maxwell. Vice President, Elizabeth Beale. Secretary, Marilyn Brewer. Treasurer, Evelyn Moore. Executive Committee, Hilda Niehoff, Richard Mountfort, and Harold Vigue. On October twentieth, one of the most interesting programs of the year was held in the cafeteria. Rev. Harold Metzner spoke about his recent trip to Italy. We were indeed grateful to Mr. Metzner for his fine cooperation. The Club has a large membership, because everyone who takes Latin is a mem- ber of the Latin Club. Our adviser, Miss Mary Warren, has devoted much of her time to make both the Latin classes and Latin club interesting. The members have especially enjoyed cor- responding with boys and girls who live in foreign countries. Almost all Latin stu- dents have a foreign friend to whom they write regularly. 30 1 DEBATING CLUB HE first meeting of the Debating Club was held on October 6, 1937. It was - voted not to elect a president, but, however, the club elected Priscilla Hop- kins as its secretary. Mr. Simpson was its adviser. ' A few weeks later the debating teams were chosen for a practice debate at the American Legion on the question Resolved: That the foreign war debts to the United States should be paid. Those debating this question were Mary Farrell, Katherine O'Donnell, and Raymond Lacombe for the afiirmative. Those supporting the negative were Elizabeth Beale, Betty Ann Maheu, and Richard Rancourt. The judges reported a non-decision debate. At the first of October, Mr. Simpson received a letter from Bates College asking the Debating Club to join the Bates Debating League. The Club did and the teams were eligible to try out for the State Championship. The question sent by the Debating League was Resolved: That several states should adopt a Unicameral form of legislation. Only two speakers were required for each side and one alternate. Those chosen for the affirmative were Mary Farrell, Raymond Lacfombe, with Richard Hodsdon as alternate. Those on the negative were Betty Ann Maheu, Richard Rancourt, with Katherine O'Donnell as alternate. The Club arranged several practice debates with Newport High School, Coburn Classical Institute, Lewiston High School, and Hartland Academy. The Bates Debating League sent the names of the schools for the tournament. Our affirmative debated Gardiner here in Waterville on March 1'8th and won with a 2-1 decision. The negative debated Cony High at Augusta and lost with a 2-1 de- cision. The teams were not elegible for the state championship unless both teams won. All the members join in thanking the adviser, M1'. Ernest Simpson for the co- operation he gave the Club and for all he did for the debaters to make their work en- joyable and interesting. 31 PUBLIC SPEAKING ATERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL has always been well supported both by the - teachers and students in public speaking. This year our school was well represented at the University of Maine ' Speaking Contest held on April 24, 1938. Diane Farris, '39, was sent to the University with the reading Mansions in the serious division. Mary Reny, '38, went in the humorous division with the Irish dialect Nora Has Her Picture Took. In the declamation group the school sent Raymond Lacombe who won second prize in his division with the oration Truth and Victory. The next speaking contest was the Spear. Raymond Lacombe again represented the school with the reading The Madman. Then came the First Annual Senior High School Speaking Contest which was held at the Junior High School Auditorium. Those selected were Yvette Boisvert, Mary Reny, Diane Farris, Virginia Sahagian, Betty A. Maheu, Richard Rancourt, Richard Hodsdon, and Raymond Lacombe. Raymond won the first prizeg the second prize was awarded to Mary Renyg and the third to Yvette Boisvert. This speaking contest was a very interesting one and was attended by a large audience. The next speaking contest was held at Colby College on May 6. This was the Montgomery New England Contest. Our school was represented by Richard Rancourt and Raymond Lacombe. The preliminary contests were held in the forenoon and after- noon. The finals were held at night. Raymond Lacombe made the finals with his o1'a- tion Truth and Victory and won third prize. It was the first time in the history of Waterville High School that any student had ever won this New England Contest. This added another victory to the honor of the school and to the students who helped to support the inte1'est of Public Speaking. 32 HD Girls League under the sponsorship of Mrs. Grace Mitchell, has been or- gmized now four years and holds its meetings in Mrs. Mitchell's home room the first Thursday of each month. Its purpose is to bind the girls into a 5 common fellowship to aid new comers, and to better the welfare of the school. This year the League has been very active. At the beginning of the school year the League held a party for the sophomores to help them get acquainted. At Christmas an especially large Christmas Box was contributed by the Girls' League for a needy family. A group of the girls accompanied by Mrs. Mitchell recently entertained the ladies of the Sunset Home with readings, songs, and piano and cello solos. The otficcrs for 1937-1938 were: President, Marcella Coty. Vice President, Ann Jones. Secretary, Rena Libby. GIRLS' LEAGUE Q . , rw 33 ' 1 THE PURPLE AND WHITE CLUB HE Purple and White Club upholds the school colors and the school spirit. This - club has undertaken many activities during the past year, all of which were a success. The football, basketball, and hockey teams were honored for their hard Work by the Purple and White Club and the rest of the high school, with dances, in- cluding entertainment. A skating party was enjoyed in February. The president, Ann Jones deserves much credit. The vice president, Frances Jobin, has served as chairman during the pi-esident's absence, and the very capable secretary, Rena Libby, has always been 'on her job. Miss Hackett deserves much praise for her good judgment and assistance in all the events or projects which were undertaken during the year. To belong to this club a girl must meet certain requirements: she must boost her school, the sports, and other activities. Insignias are worn by the members. 34 -w-'vlan ruuuuxnll X -. will '7 A T '. H ' i ' T ' S .. . W J -A 1 V I 11:1 , 1 THE BAND N the first week of October, the band was called out for practice. It wasnot so good at first, but in a few weeks it was all ready to go. It went to all of the football games and worked nearly as hard as the team itself. In mid-winter, it started on its piece for the contests at Dexter and Burlington. The last of January it went to Good Will for a short concert. The band worked inside all winter, but as soon as the weather was warm enough, out it went to march around the block. On May 12, it played for the May Festival, and on May 14, left for Dexter, Me., for the State Festival. On May 21st the band went to Burlington, Vt., for the New England Festival. The officers for the year were as follows: Gordon Winters, President. Howard Rowell, Assistant Director. Mr. Herman Rowe is the popular and capable instructor. 35 ORCHESTRA ' HIS year the orchestra has clionc its usual good work under the direction of - Mr. Herman E. Rowe. u- Last fall the oificers were elected, and they are as follows: Lal' President, Geraldine Farnham. Concert Master, Frederick Koialovitch. Librarian and Manager, Richard Rancourt. For the first time in the history of the school there has been a regular period set aside, every Tuesday and Thursday afternoons in which pupils belonging to the orch- estra may be excused from studies in order to practice. The orchestra played at the Operetta, the school play, the Prize Speaking Contest, and they gave a short concert at Good Will. They participated in the Eastern Maine Festival at Dexter, and also in the New England Festival held at Burlington, Vermont, May 20 and 21. Q 36 GLEE CLUBS HE Girls' Glee Club has about thirty-five members this yea1'. Mrs. Atherton, - with the help of Carmcline Duquette, the president, and Hilda Niehotf, the secretary, has done very much to make our glee club well known. The girls have been in many activities this year. As a group, they have presented a cabaret and an operetta, and participated in the May Festival, some of the girls have sung on the radio, presented an act in the high school play, and taken part in many other activities. The uniforms which the Glee Club have add much to their appearance. The girls have white skirts, purple and white jackets, and white skull caps for the daytime and white dresses for evening. Thelma Proctor, the leader, who marches at the head of the girls, also has a very striking costume. The girls attended the State Festival at Dexter and the New England Festival at Burlington, Vermont, where Carmeline Duquette represented the sch-ool by singing a solo. Mrs. Atherton has had the girls do as much as possible, because many of our best singers are being graduated this year. The Boys' Glee Club, which has about fifteen members, is new in this school, but we hope that it will continue next year. Under the leadership of Mrs. Atherton, the boys have done some good work. They were in the operetta and the May Festival and went to Dexter and to Burlington. At Burlington, the boys sang in the concert with the girls. The boys, wearing whitc cocktail jackets, black ties, and dark pants, make a very nice appearance. 37 'U THE OPERETTA HE Senior High School Operetta, Chonita, which was given at the Opera - House in January, was a very great success. Under the direction of Mrs. Atherton, the glee club, both boys and girls, did very fine work. The name of the operetta, Chonita, immediately suggested that it was a gypsy romance. The story centered all around Chonita in a gypsy camp and also in her Uncle Stanescus' home. The cast was as follows: Chonita, Carmeline Duquetteg Stefan, Harold Vigueg Konrad, Leo Madoreg Daya, Geraldine Farnhamg Murd'o, Newell Bubgee, Baron Stanescu, Howard Johnsong the Baroness, Irene Gogang Emil, James Belyea. The gypsy dancers were June Dugay, Lomar Turmel, Hilda Niehoff, Juanita Boudreau, Thelma Proctor, Constance Fisher, Eleanor Smart, and Bernadette Boudreaul The operetta was very colorful and appealing, and Carmeline fully deserves the lead. The orchestra did very line work under the direction of Mr. Rowe and added much to the musical effect. 38 ONE-ACT PLAY HIS year a group of students, under the capable direction of Miss Evelyn Fos- I ter, presented the one act play Dear Departed at the regional tournament at Fairfield, and won first prize. This was the Hrst time that Waterville has ever won such a contest. The students taking part were: Anne Folsom as Mrs. Slaterg John Moses as her husband, Henry, Priscilla Hopkins as Mrs. S1ater's sis- ter, Mrs. Jordon, with her husband Ben, characterized by James Belyeag Shirley Thompson as Victoria, the precocious child of teng and Richard Dubord, as the sup- posedly dead Grandpa. The characters, thinking Grandpa dead, start to divide his belongings, but much to everyone's surprise, Grandpa appears on the scene proving that he had merely be- come unconscious by too much drink. The dear bereaved are further squelched when Grandpa announces his intentions of getting married again and moving all his posses- sions. On March 26, the group once more presented their play competing witheGa1'di- ner, winners of the Southern Division. Gardiner won the opportunity to go to Bow- eloin for the State Contest. 39 L! T H Y I PLAY HAUNT ABBY ANSWERS AN AD HE annual Waterville Senior High School play, Aunt Abby Answers An Ad,'i - was presented at the City Opera House, January 28, at eight o'clock. The play, an amusing comedy in three acts by Henry Rowland, took place in a town outside of Maryland in the Toonerville Trolley Tourist Camp, owned and operated by Aunt Abby, characterized by Mary Farrell. Mrs. Purviance, a tourist, played by Betty Beale, gives Aunt Abby the inspiration to answer an ad for a husband, but her niece Anna Ainsley, Yvette Boisvert, and Anna's friend Lillian Lorraine, Ann Jones, throw Aunt Abby's letter for a husband away, planning to let Billy Barberton and Bobby Barrington, their sweethearts, take turns being Horace Harkwell, the man of the ad. Aunt Abby, a dyed-in-the-wool old maid, and her housekeeper, Lucindy Love- joy, a sour-faced spinster, are violent manhaters, and refuse to let the young girls have their Hances at the camp, but finally both old maids fall under the spell of love woven by Billy and Bobby posing as Horace Harkwell, Aunt Abby's prospective ad husband. Essie Ebbersole, the tattle-tale brat, played by Shirley Thompson, enters the scene, and then affairs are nicely mixed up. The real Mr. Harkwell arrives at the camp, and finally is thrown out by Horace Harter, Aunt Abby's unwelcome suitor. Finally, dear Aunt Abby relents and decides to marry Horace Harter, Richard Hoclsdon. The girls are allowed to let Bobby, Raymond Lacombe, and Billy, John Mioses, come to see them, and Lucindy goes back to her kitchen dazed by the turn of events. Many have said that this year's play was the best ever, and much credit must be given to Miss Evelyn Foster, the coach. 40 PANTHER NEWS AST year '1 weekly paper was initiated into the school called the Panther I News. It is a student publication in which the staff gathers interesting, ljfffp amusing, and unusual news items and publishes them in newspaper style. lx nw. .fl Generally the paper consists of four pages, but now and then more are added as ma- terial presents itself. The first two pages are devoted to the different events taking place in the school such as club meetings, parties, contests, and editorials. The third page is given over to sports, and the fourth is the Prow1er in which witty comments are made about the students. It is the first time such a paper has ever been published in the school, and as thc students enjoy a paper of this kind, the News, on the whole, has been a success. Much of the success has 'been due to the untiring eiforts of Miss Freeman and Mr. Sprague who have gladly given their time for this project. The following students were elected by the entire student body as the ofiicers of this paper: Editor-in-Chief-Vivian Maxwell. Business Manager-Raymond Lacombe. Exchange Editor-Norma Brewer. T1'69.Sl11'81'-Ml'. Mathews. Class Reporters-Martha Scribner, Geraldine Maheu, Norman Ivers, Glendon Mc- Corrison, Eleanor Smart, Lucille Fitch, Lucille Poulin, Joseph Trembley, Robert Carey, Diane Ferris, and Lauretta Nadcau. Typists-Rena Libby, David Goodhue, Carmeline Duquette, Violet King, Dorothy Burke. A Faculty Advisers-Miss Freeman and Mr. Sprague. 41 Tx.-- . g VG . , W , ,, A .. ,Mun ' WM., .. , w .

Miss Clark, the faculty adviser, aroused interest by her fine collection. The various collectors have also iine collections, which, during the meeting, are inspected and studied. The club has a monthly subscription to the Scott Stamp Journal. This aids the members in becoming acquainted with the recent stamps. Various companies have sent their approvals to the members of the club. These were 'bought and swapped. Entertainment after each meeting has been enjoyed. The club has been fortunate in having Miss Clark's assistance, and also the work of the president, Richard Rancourt, and the secretary and treasurer, Eleanor Chase. CAMERA CLUB HE Camera Club was organized in the early fall of 1937. The oliicers of the I Club are as follows: President, June DuGayg Vice President, Bert Jewettg Secretary and Treasurer, Helen Weymouth, Executive Committee, Newell Bugbee, Howard Johnson, Justin Johnson, Adviser, Edwin Shuman, President of the Colby Camera Club. A few of the meetings have 'been devoted to experimentation, taking indoor scenes and portraits. Most of the meetings have been spent in stressing the elemen- tary and essential points of photography. Our speakers, Mr. O. K. Bradbury of the Preble Studio, Mr. Edwin Shuman 'of the Colby Camera Club, and Mr. Gardiner Greg- ory of the Colby Camera Club have lectured and demonstrated the arts of focusing, developing, printing, retouching, and composition. These talks have been illustrated by various photographs exemplifying good composition and by colored moving pictures. The aim of the Camera Club, to promote photography as an inexpensive hobby among the students, has been well carried out during the year. 42 THE WASHINGTON TRIP T has been made possible each spring for the interested students to make D Y l a trip to Washington. Usually the most of the students are high school sen- iors. After having taken civics and other subjects which deal with the gov- a ernmental side 'of our country, students are more interested in actually see- ing our legislative and executive departments in sessions. It has been said that noth- ing' is more educational than travel, and therefore, it seems that all students who can, should go to Washington to see all the interesting and talked of places. 43 4 N l V11 ..,L.. rf -. 1' 41 x hh F4 riiwfgfiitigfggi y L -rv E iI!5 f+, -59?

Their attendance at the school functions has been admirable. The co-head cheerleaders and assistants are as follows: Ann Jones, Eleanor Mitchell, Marcella Cote, Vivian Maxwell, Frances Jobin and Yvette Boisvert. The banner carriers are as follows: Rena Libby, Martha Rogers, Madeline Lamont, Yvette Gosselin, Harold Zimmons, and Gerald Kelley. -J FOOTBALL SSUING a call for football candidates one week before school opened, Coaches l Violette and Donovan were greeted by some seventy odd boys who were to become the mythical State Champs. Among this group of hopefuls were eight lettermen. These included Jumping-JoJe Haehey, Tommy Cosgrove, Normie Ivers, Bob Carey, Dick Clukey, Leo Verzoni, and Dave Daviau. After three weeks of practice, the Panthers were ready to inaugurate their most successful season under the two youthful co-coaches. Having won eight games against no defeats at the end of the season, the Panthers were scheduled to play Portland High for the Dental Clinic Final, but due to difficul- ties in future games between the two schools this game was cancelled. At the end of the season Normie Ivers was unamniously elected captain for the completed season. The boys earning their letters included Joseph Hachey, Thomas Cosgrove, Nor- man Ivers, captain, James Holland, Robert LaFleur, Stephen Massey, Fred Cooper, Robert Corey, George Cyr, Harold Vashon, Gabriel Hikel, Charles Hersey, Noble Breton, Burleigh Barker, JJohn Manseur, Leo Verzoni, David Daviau, Hardl Richard- son, Donald Andrews and Richard Clukey. At the end of the season, the champion Panthers were treated royally at a banquet given 'by the people of Waterville, at the Elmwood Hotel. This banquet was made pos- sible through the efforts of Mr. Ed Talberth and Mr. Charles Jones. The lettermen were given their customary letters, and in addition, received a framed picture of the letter men, given through the courtesy of the Waterville Morning Sentinel and won- derful white sweaters with the purple knit-in W. Also it was announced at the ban- quet that the school had bought twenty-two new football hoods, that are very neces- sary to a football team. Of the lettermen Holland, Cooper, Cyr, Carey, Breton, and Manseur will be re- turning next year. 47 WATERVILLE 19, BANGOR 0 Waterville started out on the right foot, on September 25th, when they thorough- ly trounced Bangor High with a 19-0 score. The Panthers played splendidly, consid- ering that this was their first game, as compared to Bangor's second. The scoring touchdowns for Waterville were made by Joe Hachey, Bob LaFleur, and Hal Vashon. Normie Ivers rushed one extra point. The Rams from Bangor were helpless before the powerful Panther line and failed to score. The entire Waterville team went well, with Hachey, Ivers, Clukey, and Carey staring. Sawyer and Morrill were the highlights for Bangor. WATERVILLE 25, SKOWHEGAN 0 The next week Waterville played host to the Skowhegan Indians. For the second Saturday, the Panthers showed their power when they scored in every period to upset the Indians 25-0. Joe Hachey with two, and Ivers and Pop Bolduc with one touch- dow neach, were the Panthers' scorers. LaFleur made one point after touchdown from placement. The Skowhegan team put up a gallant fight for a losing cause with Char- rier and Oddy shining. For the Panthers, Massey, Verzoni, and Barker were the stars. WATERVILLE 26, BREWER 0 When. the Panthers were forced to cancel their scheduled game with Wilton, Brew- err High was substituted. For the third time the Waterville team ran rough shot over the opponents to the tune of 26-0. Bob LaFleur tallied two touchdowns, while Cos- grove and Cooper got one each for the Panthers' scores. Cooper and his educated toe made two points after touchdowns. McClellan and Morrison carried the brunt of the Brewer attack, while the entire Panther team played well. WATERVILLE 13, CONY 0 By this time, with a State Championship in view, the Panthers invaded Cony, only to be very nearly upset. The Waterville boys were feeling very sure 'of themselves, and as Cony played way over their heads, the Panthers were unable to score until the last period. In this period, Dick Clukey blocked a punt, and Hal Vashon scooper it up and scored. This touchdown so amazed the Cony team that two minutes later the Waterville bioys scored again on a beautiful triple lateral with Vashon again carrying the ball. Although the Elm City team wasn't up to par, Clukey, Vashon, and Verzoni played very well, while the majority of the Cony burden was taken by George Burney, Bob Machildon, and Stan Oshmanski. WATERVILLE 26, MADISON 0 This game, played on Monday because of a rainy Saturday, saw the Panthers come to life and swamp the Madison High Bulldogs 26-0. This game brought out the nume1'ous trick plays tha tthe Panthers had, which often completely fooled the Bull- dogs. Babe Hikel got off his famous freak play in this game, when he pulled a Lorry Kelly in kicking the ball with his knee to the waiting arms of Bob LeFlaur. This play became k'onwn'al'lover Maine and was called the prize play of the year. Ginny For- taine and Joe LeBlanc played a wonderful ball game for Madison, while I-Iikel, Carey, Hachey, and Clukey shone for Waterville. In this game Hachey, LeFaur, Carey and Vashion scored touchdowns, with Fred Cooper again kicking two points after touch- downs. WATERVILLE 25, WINSLOW 7 Before the largest crowd of the year, and the crucial game of the year, the Panth- ers crossed the river to play their arch rivals, Winslow High. Although the Winslow team didn't win, they had the privilege of being the only team to cross the Panthers' 48 goal line. Their score came in about the first minute of play, when Toni Roy inter- cepted a Waterville pas sand raced to asc ore. Frank Siviski rushed the evtra point. This was the first time that the Panthers had been behind, and many doubts as to their ability to fight when behind were expressed. The Waterville boys had what it took, how ever, when on the first play after the kick off they pulled a perfect play and Joe Hachey raced 86 yards to a touchdown. Soon afterwards Normie Ivers blocked a punt, recovered himself, and scored. Twice again in the third period Hachey scored, with Clukey kicking one goal. This game definitely marked the Panthers as the pos- sible State Champions. WATERVILLE 25, MEXICO 0 Panthers entertained Mexico the following Saturday in a breather The Panthers were over-confident, and although they scored four times their style of play was listless. The subs played most of the game for Waterville, and showed future possibilities. Scoring for Waterville were Massey on a 80 yard run, Hachey, Cooper and Ivers. Massey made one point good on a pass from Ivers. For Mexico, Dawnes and Gallant were the big guns. WATERVILLE 20, CHEVERUS 0 The Waterville High team definitely clinched the State Championship when they beat Cheveus High of Portland 20-0. No other team in the state had an unbeaten, untied record, so that the Panthers were awarded the mythical state championship by all sport writers. he Cheverus put up a very stubborn fight, but the Panthers dis- played the mlost brilliant air attack ever seen by a high school team. With the ball flying everywhere, at all times, Ivers, Vashon and LeFlaur managed to grab it out of the air to score. Cooper kicked his final goal for the year to make the score 20. For the Panthers everyone went well, with Charlie Hershey, John Manseur, Joe Hachey, and Normie Ivers starring. McDonough and Hanou were at their best for Cheverus. At the state wide election by coaches, Jumping-Joe Hachey was chosen as an All-Maine Halfback. The boys of the team were proud to play for two such line coaches as Mr. Violette and Mr. Donovan. Also, the Panther Football Team gave Hfty per cent of their credit to the wonderful set of cheerleaders, who a1'oused such school spirit that the Panthers were able to win a State Crown.

Although the Panthers didn't end the season with quite the record they did last year, the fact that l they trimmed the State Champions and their arch rivals Winslow, the Panthers' first basketball win over Winslow in eight years, makes the results very sat- isfactory. Coach Donovan had four lettermen to work with this year, and from these boys, and some thirty more that reported for the team, he moulded a team that was rated second to Winslow only. The lettermen were Gabe Hikel, Bob LaF1eur, Nasseeb Corey, and Joe Hachey. Other boys who had some experience were Reed Lott, Niormie Ivers, John M. Joseph, John D. Joseph, and Millard Froclel. Donald Andrews was manager. At the Regional Tournament, where the Panthers were beaten by Winslow, Nas- seeb Corey was chosen on the All-Tournament Team through his line playing in the afternoon and evening.

This was the first year . N that the High School had put a team on the ice for five years. - With no lettermen to work with, Coach Bob Violette moulded one of the strongest hockey teams in the history of the school. The Panthers played every prominent high school in the state, winning all but one game, and that they tied with Lewiston High. The boys that were responsible for bringing the championship to Waterville were Captain Steve Massey, Pop Bolduc, Art Lemieux, Fred Madore, Hal Vashon, Reny Audet, Frank Mathews, Gordon Winters, Bob Carey, and George Cyr. Fred Cooper acted as manager and did a splendid job. THE SCHEDULE Waterville 8 ................

WATERVILLE 19, WINSLOW 16 The second game for the girls proved not quite so easy as the first, but by heavy hitting the girls came out the victors. The tussle, at the start looked very much like Waterville's game, but in the last of the sixth Winslow took matters in their own hands, and started a iight. Nevertheless, our girls certainly proved equal to thc occa- sion. SOFTBALL SCHEDULE Score Date Team Place W.
