In the earlier books, or magazines, most of the space was devoted to original material. There were few pictures, and only a hint here and there as to who the students were, who composed the faculty, and what extra-curricular activities were followed. As the years have passed, less and lessspace has been given to original material and more and more to recounting the activities of the school. Today, no literary ma- terial as such is found, the SPINDRIFT serves as a repository for that type of writing. V , I . , The external appearance of-the book has also changed. 'The hrst issues had the picture of the school printed on a glossy tan paper, then there was a change made to a designed cover in a 'pastel color which changed with each issue. .From that, a radical improvement was made when the size of the book increased and a purple suede cover appear- cd and was used for several years. Following this, original designs drawn by the students made a change of face for each yearly issue. In 1946-the greatest cha-nge of all took place when Robert tjenness, of that class, drew the design for the padded cover which has been used since then. With the change of appearance externally, the NAUTILUS changed in content and 'an attempt was made to gather together all the material necessary to give a complete story of the school year. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The NAUTILUS staff wishes to express its sincere appreciation- To Mrs. Whitten, our faculty adviser, whose friendly counsel, ready coopera- tion, and indcfatigable efforts made this year's NAUTILUS a possibility. To Mr. Wood, our principal, who was never too busy to hear our troubles, or to guide us to a solution of our problems. To Mrs. Ragsdalc, who took much-needed time from her regular classes and from work on the mural to supervise our art work. To Miss Jules, for her cheerful cooperation in the typing of the material. To the Preble Studio, for the enthusiastic cooperation given to us by its staff. To Mr. Robert Nichols of the Sentinel Engravers, for his work in making the plates for our book.

This year's NAUTILUS stafl' was a very eilieient, eooperative group. :ks is true of any project, however, there were a few upon whom fell the responsibility for its sueeess or failure. Paul Paganueei showed great organizing ability in selecting the material, arranging it in its final order, and eheeking and re-eheeking as the work progressed. Peggy Randall, besides cooperating with Paul in the gen- eral work of the book, was responsible for the selection of pictures to illustrate the old and the new. Carl Rancourt kept aeeurate aeeount of all the financial affairs, so that the plans might be earried out with .1 seeure feeling of solveney. Charles Bueknam was responsible for all senior material and also wrote the aeeounts of the basketball games. Without Beverly Emery and her group of workers, Carl would not have been able to show a solid bal- anee, and this yearbook would not have eome into existenee. Beverly was a whirlwind of :ietivity in a posi- tion made more difliieult by the faet that more money' was needed for this year's publieation, and that adver- tisers were feeling the restrictions of prevailing economic eonditions. However, nothing daunted, Beverly gath- ered the needed advertising. Diek Barakat worked hard to get the legends for the pictures and the information eoneerning the elulis and aetivitiesg Raphael Curtis spent many hours browsing through old issues of the NAL l'ILUS to gather material for his article: and Robbie Mitehell organized the pre-publieation sale of books. Our typists were most Cooperative, and Arthur Kimball gathered the material needed for the pages eoneerning the mural based on the IDYLLS OF THE KING. One student to whom the N.-XU'l'lLL'S owes mueh, and who, with a busy sehedule both in sehool anti out of sehool, found time to do all the art work, was Dorothy Veilleux. Not onee did she refuse a projeeti and when others eould not find the time, she added their assignments to her own. Mueh thanks must be given to Dorothy for her eheerful aeeeptanee of the demands upon her time, and her prompt eompletion of all the work which she undertook.

This 11-nr, ns in previous years, the script was written, directed, and produced by the vivzxeious depgtrtrnent head, Mrs. Muriel Robinson Ragsdale, ably assisted by the entire cast of students. In the unforgettable season of 1947, thi' Curtaiw had fallen on the e1ub's CLUB MONMARTRE, one .nf the most widely publicized social events in the history of Wznerville schools. This gala festivity had all the enibellishments of a Parisian night Club, and it will lor-5 be venieitibered by the hundreds who saw it as one ol Mrs. Ragsdale's outstanding productions. Durin: this year, too, 21 mural showing various phases of life in Main:- wus composed by the seniors and painted above the enrztnee from the main floor to the auditorium. So well was this received that it was photographed and usvd ai, advertising for Maine vaeationland. In 1948 we moved into the national spotlight with an exhihilion in Radio City. An znrruy of urtistit talent in the form of comniereial art in radio advertising was well eoininented upon by Aim-riuun Bruudeustintz Company executives in Rockefeller Center who sponsored it. This yearis production, 21 series of murals, was lused upcn Tennyson's IDYLLS Ol THE KING, Thr idea originated with our principal, Mr. lfVood. Members of Lhe junior class in English, B-1, reviewed the story und submitted a variety of ideas for scenes. Then Mrs. Rzmgsdule, Mr. Wood, and the art students selected the seenes to be paintedfand thc work began. Artist: Arthur Kimball X ik Q Q9 X f?4NTH!:3?

Badminton started the parade ol' girls, sports for the year with a bang! 'l'his year Marlene Hurd and Laures Terry combined to win the doubles championship with Laures Terry also taking the singles laurel. Second in line was basketball, which entered the limelight with fun-filled prac- tices, scrimmaging, and finally the inter-class tournament which wound up with the juniors wearing the crown. Students who cared little or nothing for basketball were not entirely forgotten. Volley ball, girls gym demonstration and softball took turns in occupying the practice time. All of those after-school activities gave each girl in Wfatervillc High an equal opportunity to earn points, letters, and admission to the Girls' Athletic Association. Let us not forget about the daily gym classes, for even though no points were gained in them. they certainly added to classroom days. All sportsminded lasses of Waterville High salute Miss Amy Thompson, beloved and ardent director of all intra-mural, class and Girls' Athletic Association activities. Why all these points, you ask? When a student hit the seventy-live point lIlZlI'li. she became a member of the State Girls' Athletic association. This new but thriving organization ollered ll system of athletic awards under which one hundred points was rewarded by a pin which symbolized the club, and by the school letter as well. Some students stayed in the running until they reached one hundred and sixty points and the state letter. Still others went further and received, at two hundred points, the highest award offered-fthe state pin.

It is not an empty honor by any means. liet us see what is required ol' these inenibers. .X student wishing to play on the football teani would begin by reporting for praetiee two weeks before the opening ol sehool, in order to lose that exeess poundage. Eaeh day would be a repetition ol' the last day's workout: srrinnnage. ll' Wally' Donovan and Frank Downie had sonic: new play to try out, woe to the boy who expeeted to get home early! Then there were those who longed to bask in the glories of a winning basketball tearn. They found that the glory was one- lenth. and the grueling work was nine-tenths, if they were to make the teani. Alter a hard dayls piaetiee with .Iohnny Gilmore, the traek men found that pulled Inuseles and labored breathing were part ol the game. And when it seelned that a good day's work had been eornpleted, and the words. O, boys, youlre through for the day,', brought sighs of relief, they were soon followed by groans when alter l time you for that quarter mile was heard. Baseball players learned to aeeept sore arms. raw ankles, and bruised thighs. And the managers? Surely an easy job! But eyen here the unexpeeted had to be done: cleaning balls, digging postholes. gathering up equip- inent. giving rubdowns. 'l'hm-se boys learned that there is more to a sport than a glowing write-up in the paper: and that there is niore to a game than the seore. For when the one Great Scorer eoines 'l'o write against your naine, He writesknot that you won or lost, But how you played the game.

TRACK 1948 The Waterville High traek team in its third year of competition under Coach Johnny Gilmore enjoyed its best season, Waterville started the indoor season at the Colby Fieldhouse, by taking seeond in a triangular meet between M, C. I., Lawrence, and lfVaterville. In the Kennebee Valley Indoor Relay, the Panthers took third place behind Skowhegan and Cony, with eight teams competing. But the biggest upset of the year occurred when Waterville upset Cony and Skow- hegan to take first place in the Kennebee Valley Indoor Track and Field Meet. It was the first time a Water- ville traek team had won the meet. Men placing first for Waterville were: Bob Hardy, 100 yard rung Irving Judson, broad jumpg Bob Harmon, pole vault. Waterville dropped its first dual meet to Farmington High at Farmington. Laek of eompetitors in the field events hurt the Panthers as they dominated the running events. The relay team composed of Bob Hardy, Irving Judson, Dick Barakat, and Ralph Thompson journeyed to Lewiston to eompete in the Bates College Intersrholastie Relays and garnered second in the 880 yard relay, losing to Bangorls team in a thrill-packed feature raee. In the special events Irving Judson won the broad Jump. Other dual meets were as follows: Bangor-Waterville, Watt'rville lost: Brewer-lNaterville, Waterville won. In the Outdoor Kennebee Valley Track and Field Meet, Waterville placed third in a field of eight sehools. The State Meet at Colby was won by South Portland with Waterville third. State Champs for Water- ville were Bob Hardy, 880 yard run: and Irving Judson, broad jump and 200 yard low hurdles. The following men reeeived their letters: Bob Hardy, Bob Harmon, Diek Barakat, Ralph Thompson, Irvine Judson, Diek Chamberlin, Rape Stafford, Jim Stanley, and Dick Hunter.

This enviable record, compiled against the best competition in Maine, made the Panthers the favor- ites to cop the Eastern Maine Tournament and then the State Championship. Because of this high rating, the Panthers could expect every game to be a tough one, since each team would be trying to upset them. WATERVILLE 59-FORT FAIRFIELD 41 In their preliminary game, the Panthers were paired with Fort Fairfield, a team that held one of the two wins over them during the regular season. However, it did not take them long to show which was the better team. The Panthers started right out to build up a good lead in the first period, and, although this lead was lessened at one time, they held on to it until the final period when they pulled far away from the Fort. They looked cvery bit their role of the favorite. WATERVILLE 36-ELLSWORTH 35 A hard-fighting Ellsworth team almost upset the Panthers' apple-cart in the second semi-final game of the evening. The Panthers built up a 20-11 lead at the end of the first half, and they seemed to be on their way to another easy victory. But then it happened! Ellsworth staged a terrific scoring spree, while their zone defense held the Panthers down to comparatively low scoring. With about 15 seconds to play, Ellsworth led, 35-34. Then Robbie Mitchell, coming through in the clutch, stole the ball and passed to Kershner, who scored thc game's winning basket. WATERVILLE 55-JOHN BAPST 51 Because of their tight squeeze with Ellsworth on the previous night, Waterville was judged the under- dog in the Eastern Maine Final game with John Bapst, whose team had beaten them once in the regular season. However, the role of the underdog must have agreed with them, as they started the all-important con- test by taking a 19-4 lead in the first frame. John Bapst showed that it was a great team by fighting back to go ahead 38-37 in the third period. But the Panthers were far from finished, as Bob Harmon sent them on their way to the 55-51 victory with four straight baskets. This demonstration broke the backs of the Bapst team, and the Panthers went on to take the game and the championship of Eastern Maine. It was a brilliant team vic- tory, with Bob Harmon leading the scorers with 18 points. STATE CHAMPIONSHIP WATERVILLE 51-SOUTH PORTLAND 42 In a bitterly fought state championship playoff, Waterville Panthers came from behind to sink a strong South Portland team and become the champions of the state. The Capers, who had a big advantage in height over the Panthers, had commanded the game for three quarters and led 39-31 in the final period. Then the Panthers swept past the Capers with a terrific out burst of speed that gained them 20 points, while the best South Portland could muster was 3. Robbie Mitchell played a brilliant game in leading the scorers with 18 points, while Kershner and Bucknam both got 10. NEW ENGLAND TOURNAMENT SOMERVILLE 42-WATERVILLE 37 Winning the Maine Championship gave the Panthers the right to participate in the New England Tour- nament at the Boston Garden, where they were paired with Somerville, Massachusetts, in their preliminary game. Somerville proved to be a fast, rugged team, and from the start it was apparent that they would be hard to beat. The Panthers played a terrific game, and, except for a few breaks, might well have been the victors. The game was tied up, with a little over a minute left to' play. Then Somerville scored a couple of quick baskets which meant the game. Somerville went on from that game to win the tournament. So, if the Panthers had only had a little more luck, they might easily be the champions of New England today. But even though they did lose, they performed in a manner that was a credit to Waterville High School and tc the State of Maine.

It took Winslow exactly six minutes and thirty-two seconds before they scored their first basket. Waterville's scoring was well-divided, with four of the first five hitting double figures. WATERVILLE 49-STERNS 44 Waterville came from behind to take their first game of the regular season. Stearn's polished crew, main- ly on the sharpshooting of forward Appie DeMarco, held onto a lead of 4 points until the final period, when the Panthers caught fire and went to win. Mitchell and Jabar did most of the scoring, with 19 and 15 points, respectively. P ,IOHN BAPST 63-WATERVILLE 62 What started out to be a rout for the Panthers turned out to be their first loss of the season. It was a bitter battle all the way, with Waterville finally losing their lead in the fourth period, and the game in a three- minute overtime. Waterville's scoring was paced by Mitchell, with 23, and Bucknam, with 14. But this went for naught, as the Panthers couldn't seem to hold down Bapst's sharpshooting cagers. WATERVILLE 58-FORT FAIRFIELD 44 With a brilliant 23-point fourth period drive telling the story, the Panthers took the measure of the boys from Aroostook. High men for Waterville were Mitchell, Kershner, and Bucknam. WATERVILLE 55-ROCKLAND 41 Although considerably hampered by a zone defense, Waterville's Panthers came through with another fourth period drive to win going away. Foul shooting was a big factor in the win, as the Panthers made good 19 out of 25 tries. Bobby Harmon and Robbie Mitchell enjoyed good nights, with 17 and 18 points, re. spectively. WATERVILLE 44-STEARNS 42 In the second game of the season between these two clubs, the Panthers were again the victors. How- ever, Waterville had to wait until the last 4, seconds of play to take the game. In that time 'Phil Stuart took a rebound and threw it up to score the winning basket. The good defensive play of the Panthers was a main factor in the win. FORT FAIRFIELD 56--WATERVILLE 51 Fort Fairfield gained revenge for their earlier loss to the Panthers by winning in an overtime. This was Waterville's second loss of the season. The Panthers trailed all the way, but they finally spurted to tie the game up at 49-all at the end of the regular game. A defensive lapse in the overtime period enabled the Fort to win by 5 points, Mitchell and Kershncr led the scoring for Waterville. WATERVILLE 47-SOUTH PORTLAND 39 On the first day of 1949 the Panthers outshot South Portland to start a string of 20 victories. With his team leading 28-21 in the third frame, the South Portland coach inserted his second stringers. Then Water- ville went to town, and when South Portland's first team re-entered the game, they never had a chance. Robbie Mitchell sunk 17 points to lead the scoring, with Bob Harmon close behind with 13. WATERVILLE 53-CON Y 40 ln one of their easiest games of the season, the Panthers took Cony into camp by a good margin. Uony's zone defense proved to be no mystery at all. Tire scormgewas well divided between all members of the first team.

WATERVILLE 18-BREWER 0 The charging Panther backs kicked up their heels to jolt the Witches with their very first plays by sending Orloff, Nagem, and Mitchell for booming gains into scoring territory, so Paul Barrows could blast his way to pay dirt. The opening of the second quarter proved that the Panthers still had it as Don French cor- ralled a stray fumble to gain possession for. Waterville. Paul Orlofi' and Paul Barrows dumped in long gains, and then Robbie Mitchell, on the dead run, tossed one to husky Phil Stuart, who proceeded to shake off five tacklers and cross the last stripe. The Witches could not move and were held while the Elm City boys took over. Mitchell chose to pass to Stuart again, and Phil crossed for the last score. RUMFORD 19-WATERVILLE 13 Entering the game a four-touchdown underdog, the Purple Panthers outplayed and outfought a State Championship-bound Rumford team for three periods. Rumford scored in the last three minutes to eke out the victory. In the first period Paul Orloff scored standing up from 20 yards out, behind outstanding blocking by the big Panther line. With the Purple Panthers lagging 12-7 in the third period, Paul Barrows sparked an 80-yard Panther drive and eventually scored to put Waterville in the lead again, 13-12. Wayne Roh' then scored for Rumford to seal up the ball game. The Panthers were again driving for a score when the whistle sounded. Bo Bo Belanger and Dick Delaware were tops in the Panther line, which played bang-up ball throughout. WATERVILLE 12-WINSLOW 12 The favored Panthers lived up to expectations by pushing a small but scrappy Winslow team all over the field. But when the final gun sounded, Waterville emerged with a tie. The Panthers started with a bang by scoring in the first four minutes, thanks to a 40-yard jaunt by Orloff and a two-yard plunge for the six-pointer by Barrows. Waterville was knocking at touchdown door again only a few minutes later. The Pan- thers elected to try a pass which fell smack into the arms of the Raiders' Ronnie Bolduc on his own 2-yard line. Bolduc gathered in the leather and raced down the sideline for 98 yards to tie things up. Waterville's Orloff scored in the second period to again put Waterville in the lead, but Winslow scored on a long pass to Ayer in the third period to again knot things up. Mitchell and French played bang-up game for the Panthers. BANGOR 37-WATERVILLE 6 After a scoreless first period the Rams from Bangor High reared up and kicked the Purple Panthers to the tune of 37-6. The Rams' play was superlative and their mistakes were few. In the third period Hank Nagem plunged over from the six-yard line to score the Panthers' sole six-pointer. Peterson and Bernard sparked the Bangor offensive, while Ed Quirion contributed a fine game for the Panthers. DEERING 54-WATERVILLE 0 Playing at night under the lights, a greatly handicapped Waterville team was thoroughly beaten by a fast Deering team. Three of the Panthers' starting backs were unable to compete because of injuries, and the team was forced to play throughout the game with an inexperienced backfield. Deering had a field day, and with their backs continually romping for long runs, the final score was inevitable. Dick Barakat was thc only bright light in a dark evening for Waterville. WATERVILLE 7-LAWRENCE 0 The Purple Panthers were again back at full strength, and with their backfield of Mitchell, Thompson, Orloff, and Barrows intact the boys proceeded to take L nwrcnce into camp. Shining line play by the Panthers paved the way to the victory, as the highly touted Bulldog backs were repeatedly thrown for losses. Big Paul Orloff smacked over for Waterville to climax an 80-yard drive that featured the T formation magic of Bobby Mitchell. Delaware, Paganucci, and Cook were standouts in the rejuvenated Panther line. WATERVILLE 7-JOHN BAPST 7 Waterville continued playing bang-up ball by ruining the State Championship hopes of the previously undefeated and untied John Bapst Crusaders. The Panthers entered the game as heavy underdogs, but by con- tinually fighting 'an uphill battle, they nearly emerged with a victory. At the halfway mark Bapst was leading 7-0. After receiving the second half kickoff, the Panihcrs took the ball on their own 10-yard line and pro- ceeded to march 90 yards for the tying counter. Paul Birrows plunged over from the half-yard line to climax the drive. The extra point was added on a deceptive piss play from Mitchell to Captain Stuart. The big'Pan- ther line again paved the way with Stuart, Paganucci, and Belanger as standards. WATERVILLE 12--CONY 12 0 Winding -up a season that had both its high and its low points, the favored Purple Panthers . were forced to a tie by an ever-fighting Conv team. Waterville forged ahead twice, but each time the Rams came back to knot things up. Paul Orloff scored first on a twenty-yard end run to put the Panthers in the lead. After Carey had scored in the second period, Watervillels Paul Barrows cashed in for a six-pointer from fivt yards out, to again put the Panthers ahead in the tht rd period. Cony's last score came late in the game, and the Panthers lacked time to drive for another score. Francis Bishop and Bob Thibodeau were the top Panther lincmen of the day. Robbie Mitchell also contributed a fine defensive game., FOOTBALL - FALL GF 1948 lhc VV.S.ll,S. train of 194-8 roll:-d through ii tin-game card to wind up the season with three won, threw' ticd, Lind four lost. The nunihcr of games lost or tied helies the ability and agygrrssivrncss of the Purple l,2lllIllt'l'S. The train was in thrrr trying from kickofl' to the final whistle. Top pcrforlnzinces were evident in nearly :ill thi' hard-fought gznnrs, as Paul Orlofl and Paul Barrows, the hard rzunniing hawks, drovi- drop into rneniy soil, with Dickie Bziruknt or Rrilph Thompson slugging from the fullhgicli spot.

Al Grenier, high-scoring Raider forward, was held to 5 points by the brilliant guarding of Robbie Mitchell. Every man on the Waterville team scored, with the exception of two. Through this victory Waterville proved itself the best team in Central Maine. WATERVILLE 71-BREWER 39 The Panthers displayed their most murderous attack of the season in pulverizing the Brewer Witches. A new high-scoring mark for the season was set in doing it. Four of the first stringers hit double figures, with Mitchell leading the way with 18 points. WATERVILLE 62-SKOWHEGAN 26 It was the old story of too little opposition as the Panthers rode to an easy victory over Skowhegan. The Indians were entirely out-classed by the high-scoring Watervillians. The subs performed very well, as the regulars were used rather sparingly. Harmon and Kershner led the scoring with 12 and 10 points. WATERVILLE 52-SOUTH PORTLAND 49 By turning back a fast-improving South Portland team, one of the strongest threats of Western Maine, the Waterville Panthers established themselves as one of the top teams in the state. It was a terrific battle all the way, and the Panthers had to give all they had to pull the game out. The individual efforts of Ed Woodsum and Dick Carmichael were offset by the well-divided scoring of the Waterville team, with Mitchell and Bucknam showing the way. WATERVILLE 64-LAWRENCE 44 A small, but fighting, Lawrence team did nothave the reserve stamina and speed to stay with the classy Panthers. Lawrence spent itself in a valiant first period try, and after that it was just a matter of how much of a score the Panthers would run up. High men for the night were Kershner with 16, Mitchell with 13, and Harmon with 12. I WATERVILLE 61-BANGOR 38 After Bangor had given them a good game for the first half, the Panthers turned it into a rout during the second half. The only reason that Bangor was in the game at all was Red MaeDonald's 27 points. Bill Kershner enjoyed his best night of the season, scoring 19 points. WATERVILLE 47--ROCKLAN D 24 Although Waterville was not its usual self, it still managed to take ,Rockland by a good margin, for their second victory of the season over that club. The Panthers held a scant six-point lead at the half, but pulled away during the last two periods. Charlie Bucknam led the scoring with 19 points. ' WATERVILLE 70-CON Y 45 Putting on a good show for a large crowd at the annual Kiwanis Kavalcade, the Panthers completely outplayed their rivals from down the river. The big Colby Fieldhouse Hoor proved to be very much to their liking. The Panthers' started fast and never gave Cony a chance to get going. High scorers for the evening were Charlie Bucknam with 22 and Robbie Mitchell with 20. WATERVILLE 59-SKOWHEGAN 34 With the Panther reserves playing much of the game, needing only occasionaluhelp from the regulars, Waterville won its eleventh straight game from a rather weak Skowhegan team. Arthur Dexter, a sub, led the scoring with 12 points.

CUM LAUIJIL Neither do men light a candle. and put it under a bushel, but on a candlcsticla, and it giveth light unto all that arc in thc housef' This quotation seems especially applicable to members of Cum Laude who have earnestly endeavored to live up to the high ideals of scholarship, sincer- ity, and service as Nthe shining lights of our school. Perhaps the most important function ol the mcmbers is to servei as leaders in all school activities, particularly in the classrooms, thereby exert- ing a strong influence for promoting and encouraging better attitudes toward all school property and the rights of others. A project that attracts and inliuences all the students is the artistically printed Honor Roll, placed in the lower corridor at the end of each quarter. Another project ol' service has been a follow-up program worked out lor the Guidance Department, which includes the record ol' the higher education and work experiences of the graduates of the last five years. The Cum Laude Scholarship Fund, the first and only one in our school, has been our majox interest. lt will bc awarded to some worthy and deserving seniors. The third annual Cum Laude WVeek opened with the broadcast over W'l'VL. The next event was Mr. Wocvdls address to the students of junior High School on the purpose of Cum Laude. Vlllll' formal initiation ceremony, conducted by the faculty committee, was highlighted by an inspiring address by Dean Ernest C. Nlarriner, whose ringing insistence that Hscholarship is not enoughl, will long be remembered. The climax was the banquet when students, graduate members, parents, and faculty enjoyed friendly and stimulating conversation across a well-laden board, concluded by the most pleasing entertainment ol' the 'Tour Aces.

Eagan with deep appreciation For his persistent efforts to instil in the minds of his students an understanding of the trne values of life. The world dischzlhres us or we dlbchzline ourselves: we have our choice. U W N A U Yearbook of Waterville Senior High School Waterville, Main 1949 As the theme for this nineteen hundred and forty-nine issue of our yearbook, we have chosen lines from the poem the CHAMBERED NAUTILUS, which years ago inspired Miss Franeis H. Morrill, then a teacher in Waterville High School, to give the school's literary publication its name. As the years have gone by, the NAUTILUS has grown. From a quarterly it has become a yearbook. To Fill the need for a more fn-fluent publication, the PANTHER NEWS has rome into existeneeg and the SPINDRIFT, an annual magazine of original material, has been born.. In this issue the designs on the title piges represent the old and the new. Here and there in the pages which show the life of the sehool as it is today, will be found reproductions from earlier issues, that those who wish may see how Waterville Senior High Sehool has built Q -eaeh new temple, nobler than the lastf, Year after year beheld the silent toil That spread his lustrous eoilg Still, as the spiral grew, He left the past yearis dwelling for the new, Stole with soft step its shining arehway through, Built up its idle door, Stretehed in his last-found honle, and knew the old no more. Build thee more stately mansions, O Illy soul, As the swift seasons roll! Leaw: thy low-vaulted past! Let eaeh new temple, nobler than the last, Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast Till thou at length art free, Leaving thine outgrown shell by lil4e's unresting seal -Oliver Wendell Holmes Q3 N auiilus uumnmfwmmmcs Ammmqnw L. , 1 f- W .- W, 1, my .pw -1wfV,f,.Q,f.-1amz1wm num!-Mu minus., mamma'-nrulms Y -xmmEm1.+.wzh1'np.x..5:9allmsl1:'Q mLmm'mmll.uvi C-P ,- S--f Pr '55 'Lil A .r fini
