Tuttle, who brought to a close last june a long and useful term of service in the Forest St. Grammar School. Few teachers can hope to be more loved than was Mr. Tuttle by the hundreds of boys and girls who profited by his instruction, and who enjoyed the privilege of his acquaintance. VVith him teaching was an artg it was never a labor, and his pupils benefited accord- ingly. Under some teachers instruction is irk- some, under him it was an inspiration. In many ways he was an ideal teacher: he knew his books and he knew his students. He was kindly and genial in the class room, but knew when to be severe. He dealt out such even-handed justice that the offenders themselves admitted the fair- ness of his decisions and felt no rancor. In all his years of teaching in Westbrook it seldom hapt- pened that a pupil promoted by him to the high school without conditions failed to make good. He understood his boys and girls, and was an accurate judge of their capacities. The members of this school unite in wishing him many more years of happiness and usefulness, and rejoice that so many of them know and love him. DEBATING The lack of interest in debating in Westbrook High is greatly to be regretted. Two years ago the school was represented by a well organized debating club, which held regular meetings and had some very interesting and instructive debates. Since then, however, the many other activities of the school have occupfed the attention of the stu- dents and little time has been given to debating, except as required in class work. In many schools the debating club or team is a very important organization, and much time is spent preparing for debates between club mem- bers or with other schools. Westbrook High is proud of her athletic teams and her school play. Can we not also be represented in one of the college debating leagues conducted by Bates and Bowdoin? These two institutions annually ar- range a series of debates between high schools, each school having an affirmative and a negative team on the question to be argued. Great en- thusiasm has been aroused and splendid debates have resulted. There is no reason why VV. H. S. can not have membership in one of these leagues. Many of the students have ability in this line. and our teams could make as good showing as those from other schools. The Westbrook Public Library is well supplied with debating material, and in Miss Lord and Miss Harvey we have two teachers who have had valuable experience in coaching debating teams. The colleges also assist by sending coaches when they are desired. SPANISH IN THE HIGH SCHOOL It will be noted from an examination of the course of study given elsewhere in this issue that Spanish has been dropped from the curriculum. This leaves Latin and French as the foreign languages now offered, one ancient and one mod- ern. In a School the size of this these two are enough. There is no demand for Spanish except in rare cases so infrequent that it is not advisable to retain it as an elective subject, provide a place for it in the schedule, and be under the necessity of keeping a teacher on the faculty competent to teach it. Colleges almost without exception prefer Westbrook High School that freshmen present French rather than Spanish for entrance. The Spanish language and literature have nothing that the French does not possess in still greater degree in cultural value and human interest. In fact, Spanish literature is singularly poor compared to French. Neither does Spanish history present any of the great liberal move- ments which have been a characteristic of the French, and which at times have lighted the spark of freedom all over the world. Of late years the study of Spanish has been stimulated by a more active trade relationship between the United States of North America and the states of Central and South America, where Spanish and Portuguese are the tongues chieliy spoken. The use of Spanish by Westbrook High students, except to secure points toward graduation is so remote as to make it practically nil. On the contrary the situation here is such that the study of French is of the greatest importance. It not only meets the demands of the college requirement in modern language, but it also has an important commercial value, for many of the stores in Westbrook find it desirable to have at least one clerk who is able to speak French as well as English. It hardly seems wise to continue to educate boys and girls in the 5 intricacies of a foreign language that they must go at least a thousand miles to hear when there is a very present opportunity to speak another for- eign language right in our own city and with our own friends and neighbors, not only for purposes of business but also of ordinary intercourse. This, it should be remembered, is the language to which our colleges give most attention and accept most freely. Latin and French are firmly rooted. Spanish has yet to prove -itself. In Westbrook its omission from the curriculum makes for econ- omy and sound scholarship. APPRECIATION The Editorial Board and the students of W. H. S. wish to express their heartfelt appreciation to the many who have kindly aided them in pre- paring this issue of the BLUE AND WIIITE. We are especially desirous of extending our thanks to the S. D. Warren Co. for the gift of the paper on which the BLUE AND WHITE is printed: to the many friends who so generously have given us advertisements, thus making our magazine a financial success, and to Mr. Cobb, whose interest and diligence have gone far toward the success of the BLUE AND WHITE. l QW 42? . s S ' s. -.EE if - Qiw 'TI' 60 ,Yi -- :el 1 E 'f I 3. - - ' F: . 4 as T Y 4 . . ,I :- f gy X -. , I gg 1 -se l --2--tr YZ kg , fl 4 -S? ni , Q -25 2 if 2- r? ,-fa. -4' u 'ri ei , ...N V v -lu , ' I A.

William D. Up- shaw, Congressman from the Fifth District of Georgia in the House of Representatives. Mr. Upshaw is widely known, not only as an orator and a lecturer, but also as an author. His best known book is entitled, Clarion Calls from Capitol Hill. His address was given under the auspices of the Christian Civic League and was much appreciated by the entire school. The annual prize speaking contest, held -in the Warren Church on January 29, 1925, was a de- cided success, and was greatly enjoyed by the large audience present. The prizes so generously offered by the Stephen W. Manchester Post of the American Legion were presented to Frances Richardson and Robert Bancroft, who were se- lected as the first prize winners. The judges were Miss jean Welch of the Deering High School faculty, Mr. H. H. Towle, representing the Amer- ican Legion Post, and Rev. R. A. Macdonald, both of this city. Great credit is due Miss Marion E. Lord for her efficient and successful coaching. The program follows: WEsTBRooK HIGH SCHOOL PRIZE SPEAKING CONTEST Warren Church, January 29, 1925 Selection from Tannhauser, Wagner High School Orchestra Men Who Cannot Be Bought, Samuel Smiles Linwood E.

Manchester Post, American Legion X The American Legion of Westbrook, which so loyally supports the High School activities, of: fered as a feature for National Education Week two silver medals, one to the girl and one to the boy who should write the best essay of not more than one thousand words on one of the following subjects: QU The Necessity of Schools, Q23 Illiteracy, a Menace to our Nation, Q3j America's Duty Toward the Uneducated, and QLD Religion, Morality, and Education Are Necessary for Good Government. The competition was confined to the Senior Class, and of the forty-three essays submitted a committee of teachers selected as win- ners Margaret Sutermeister and Ellis LeBeau, who were presented with the medals at an as- sembly held for that purpose. The school is indebted to Mrs. Mildred I. Chap- lin of this city for the daily copy of the Christian Science Monitor which is sent to the High School. This is a newspaper in the best sense of the word which confines itself to legitimate news items, domestic and foreign affairs of national and inter- national interest, literature and art. Westbrook High School The improved blackboards in rooms 14 and 16 are very much appreciated by both teachers and pupils. The new lights in the main room, the library, the coat rooms and the stairway are also a great improvement, and make us wonder how we ever got along without them. The Principal's ofiice has also been lighted. The bookroom which has been assigned to Mr. Stirling for an office has also had a light installed. Some lof the units in the commercial rooms have been changed to make the illumination more satisfactory. The Ladies' Home Journal subscription contest held in December resulted in securing a total of 155 subscriptions. The school was divided into two teams, the boys competing against the girls to see which group would obtain the greatest number of subscribers. The contest lasted only a week, and the girls early in the race secured a lead which the boys were too gallant to overcome. The amount of money taken in was one hundred and fifty-five dollars : of this amount one-half was sent to the Curtis Publishing Company, and the re- mainder was retained by the school. After deduct- ing the expense of conducting the contest about forty dollars clear profit was left, and according to the original purpose of the contest this sum was applied to the purchase of books for the high school library. The following books were bought and make a valuable addition to our meagre collection : The Romance of Astronomy. The Romance of Electricity. The Romance of Scientific Discovery. The Romance of Modern Invention. The Romance of Manufacture. The Romance of the Spanish Main. The Romance of War Inventions. The Romance of the Mighty Deep. The Romance of Modern Exploration. The Romance of Coal. 7 For the most part these books are on scientific subjects and written in a popular style so that they may be read and appreciated by readers with- out scientific knowledge. They are of value not only in the science classes but also in the English classes, as they furnish many subjects for essays. In addition to the above there were purchased the four volumes of Senator Albert J. Beveridge's Life of john Marshall, a monumental contri- bution to American history and politics. There were no schools in session on Friday, February 6th, because of the joint convention of the Cumberland and York County Teachers' Association, held in Portland High School. At this convention Principal Lewis was elected vice- president of the Cumberland County Association for the ensuing year. The occasional odor of sewer gas in room No. 1 of the commercial department, which has been such a mystery for several years, and which has successfully eluded all attempts to discover its source, was finally located bythe janitor, Mr. Booth, with the aid of Mr. Huston, who was em- ployed in putting in the foundations at the time the new wing was added to the building. The cause of the leakage of sewer gas into the building was a pipe intended to serve as a vent for the dead air under the building and which was located in a remote and inaccessible part of the building be- tween the basement floor and the concrete float on which the new wing rests. This pipe, intended as a vent, was acting as an inlet for the sewer gas, after finally being discovered was plugged up and there has been no odor since. It was always more noticeable in winter than at any other time, although it was never present in sufiicient strength to cause any alarm. Nevertheless, it is a relief to know that the source has been found and the leakage stopped. 8 The Blue f-r White Eia a n ETIIOT lSfl S5 yi, Illl lllllllllllllllllllllllllIIlllIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIII IIIIIIllIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIlIlllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIllll Illllllllllllllll lllllIIIIIIIIlIlIIIIIlIlIIIlIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIII IllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII f . . . , 2 .S r a r c s v!

It was here that john Cummings lived. A shorttime before he had been one of the most promising authors of the day, whose books were widely read and admired. But rather would lx have had the criticisms than praises of the people, for he felt great dissatisfaction with the quality of his worky For years he had been seeking material to write his greatest work, his masterpiece. He was an idealist, and a firm believer in the beauty and pureness of the soul of man. But altho he made many attempts, the 'lStory Beautiful, as he had planned to name it, was still locked in his brain and would not unfold. At last his unrest and dissatisfaction turned to bitterness at his own helplessness, so he left the city and buried himself in the Swiss Mountains, still seeking that elusive quality, inspiration. Here far from the noise and clamour he spent long hours in thought and finally came to the con- clusion that he was at fault, that his own soul was too narrow and unenlightened to write such a story. Relieved at having found the trouble he procured ponderous volumes on the human soul and long essays on religion and the ideal life, seeking to enrich his mind with deeper knowledge. So engrossed did he become in his task that he rarely left the cabin, save when necessity de- manded. 'He forgot the glories of the sunrise and the beauty of the nature world around him, that he had so loved. Even the bright sunlight stream- ing thru the window interrupted his train of thought and so annoyed him that he turned his chair away. At last feeling sure that the story in his brain was ready to form itself into words, he seized pen and paper, preparing to write. Feverishly his pen traveled across the white sheet several times,- then stopped. With a jerk he recalled his mind which had strayed far from the thoughts on which he wanted to concentrate. In despair he threw down his pen. He was a failure! It was plain to him now that the literature-loving world would never read the Story Beautiful, for he could not reach the standard he had set for himself and combine the right thoughts to make it. Angrily he strode to the door and flinging it open, went into the forest. After walking along the shady path for some distance he seated himself discon- solately beside a joyous, splashing waterfall. But he only scowled at the noisy water for breaking the silence and impatiently uprooted a delicate blue wood-anemone, which seemed to smile gayly at him. Thru his brooding he suddenly became con- scious that the forest had grown curiously still. All things seemed hushed. As this thought came to him he heard a strain of sweet rnusic, consisting of a mixture of liquid bird notes and the laughter of brooks. Idly he wondered if some great violin- ist had wandered into the forest. But before he could hardly comment upon this amazing music it stopped as quickly as it had begun, and a clear rebuking voice nearby made him jump nervously. Turning he saw nothing until his gaze rested on the brook, which flowed from the waterfall. There reflected in the clear water was a blue anemone. Strangely, the center resembled the features of a fair maiden. As he gazed wonder- ingly, the voice again spoke. I am the Story Beautiful, it said, I and all the rest of this great forest. You sought for facts in your books that would give you inspiration to show to others the depth and beauty of a soul. I8 But you failed because the true life is expressed in that which comes from the soul of God, the great world of nature. In shutting from your life this world of beauty and sunshine, you shut out the Story Beautiful. Cummings opened his eyes and blinked at a thrush in the tree above him, who seemed intent upon bursting his throat with the weight of his song. The brook and waterfall beside him still purled merrily along. while the anemones on the bank nodded cheerfully. What a queer dream, exclaimed the man, and how happy I feel. I believe I could write now l With a glad shout he raced to the cabin, grasped his writing materials and hurried back to the waterfall, where he began to write. For hours his hand moved back and forth, registering easily and without effort the beautiful thoughts that had so long been securely locked in the far recesses of his brain. It was not until the Sun God was flaunting his colored banners in the West, making the snow- capped mountains blush rosily as he beamed upon them, that john Cummings ceased to write. Then, after sitting lost in thought for some time. he arose to return to the cabin. Turning his face to the skyqwhere already the myriad stars were blazing, he murmured softly, 'The forget-me- nots of the angels' Ah, indeed you are the 'Story Beautifulf you and all the rest of God's great world and neither I nor any other mortal can do you justice with mere words. E. G. H., '25. INSANE WISDOM A dapper, citified young man, wearing a straw hat banded in bright blue and carrying a cane, briskly approached the blacksmith shop, and ad- dressed himself to the Smith who labored within. I'm the new county Marshall, he announced, and I've come to Dunn you l The Smith laid down the long pointed knife which he had been sharpening on an Emery wheel, and slowly lifted his head. What say ? he drawled. I'm the new county .Marshall, repeated the visitor impatiently. I've come to collect the n The Blue E-r White payment due on the land you bought from John Robinson of Boston. Oh, hev ye? inquired the Smith. Did he send you? Well, not exactly. He instructed his attor- neys, Goff and Gayton, 1925 Del Court, Boston, to collect the payment and they deemed it advis- able to have me settle the matter. VVell! Well ! muttered the Smith. He arose from his seat and going to the forge, which glowed dimly in the corner, threw more coal on it, then turned abruptly. Set down, why don't ye? he demanded sav- agely. The Marshall placed an empty box conven- iently near the door and gingerly seated himself upon it. The Smith picked up the pointed knife from the Brackett on which he had placed it and re- sumed his seat by the Emery wheel. Belong in town ? he asked genially. No, I came over from Brown-ville. Hum-m. Thought I'd never seen you around here before. What kind of Craft did ye come over in P I didn't come in any kind of Craft. I walked over. Quite a little jaunt, ain't it ? Yes, but I'm a fast Walker, so it didn't take me long. Well, ye ought to learn to fly, said the Smith mournfully, his voice trailing -into a whisper. The Marshall sat straighter, and summoning his courage determined to make a firm demand for his money that he might betake himself from this weird presence. Before he could Find the right words, the Smith spoke again. How's your ma ? he asked. The Marshall stared. My mother is dead, he answered with dignity. Well, how's your Pa, then ? My father isn't living, either. 4'Too bad, too bad. I-Iaven't any parents at all? My own parents died when I was a child. I was brought up by Foster parents. But come! This is beside the question. Are you or aren't you going to pay me that money ? The Smith ran his finger over the sharp edge VVestbrook High School of the knife with evident relish, then lifted it and sighted along its keen length. The Marshall felt a shiver scamper along his spine as he saw the sharp blade pointing in his direction. He Ames that as if it were a gun, he thought. Wal, said the Smith, how do you know that I bought that there land? Maybe 'twas the Miller or the Taylor. Of course it was you, retorted the Marshall, I've got the records of the sale. Give me the money so I can get started for home. I have a long walk before me and it's nearly Sundown now. Yes, yes, of course, assented the Smith. Pretty lonely walk, too. Long stretch of woods to go thrufl He lowered his voice. You want to watch out for the wild Hawkes when you go thru them woods, he said. Wild Hawkes! exclaimed the Marshall, leaning forward in his interest. Why, what do you mean P The Smith glanced around cautiously. It isn't generally known, he said, but it's the truth that there's a flock of wild Hawkes in them woods. They've got gigantic wings, and great strong beaks. They swoop down, as black as night, on their victims and carry them off to the hills. They watch out especially for strangers. You'd better be careful. C-can't I do anything to protect myself ? asked the Marshall. Well, there's hay, of course. Hay! Yes, hay! There's Hayes of all kinds. Good hay, bad hay, dry hay, and wet hay. Wet hay is the best. Them Hawkes are scairt to death of wet hay. You get a lot of good wet hay and put it all over you-around your shoulders, in your pockets and everywhere, and I think you'll get by safe. The Marshall stood up. Be ye going now ? asked the Smith. Y-yes, I guess I'd better. Never mind the payment now. I'll send some one after it next week. Well, now, that's real Sweet of you. Better have a drink of that Moxcey before you go, in- vited the Smith hospitably, pointing to an old rusty harness which hung on the wall nearby. I9 This was the last Straw. Convinced that the great dark man who sat humped over the Emery wheel, his eyes agleam, his powerful hands sharp- ening and re-sharpening the long shining knife, was completely insane, the Marshall took to his heels and fied. As he disappeared the Smith tossed aside the knife and picking up some horseshoes, placed them on the forge. That's one way to get rid of bill collectors, he chuckled in amusement. ERNESTINE HANNA, '25, DOING HIS DUTY I cannot remain. I must go. They suspect me, but you, a boy of sixteen, will never arouse suspicion or cause the authorities any trouble. Will you come back soon, Father ? I do not know. Probably I shall be gone for a lo-ng time. The authorities and detectives will watch my every act, and to return would mean failure. Be brave and steadfast and do not fail to do your duty. Henry watched his father from the window till he disappeared around the corner of the street. Then he leaned against the wall and meditated on the duties and tasks thrust upon him by his father. I must do this, he thought, even tho discovery means death. Henry could ask no help from anyone, but must depend upon himself. He should have liked to have had someone to advise him, but no, he must work alone. Henry Gratton and his father were living in Germany at the opening of the war. Mr. Gratton was connected with American interests in Ger- many at this time and necessity demanded that he should be present there to protect them. For a while things had been calm enough but of late the elder Gratton had aroused suspicion and the government had put detectives and Secret Service men on his track, and so he had thought it wise to leave the village for a time and go elsewhere. This state of affairs had left Henry to continue his work. After thinking over this situation Henry wan- dered down to the kitchen where Bertha, the housekeeper, was preparing dinner. Is your father coming back? she asked. 20 Instantly Henry was on his guard. I think so,', he said. It must be important, she hinted, as she left the room. Henry left the kitchen and sallied out into the back yard where two men were at work. I'l1 soon have this done,', he heard one of them say. Henry started. The words had been said in English. 'KHowdy, greeted the man to Henry. We are going to work for Mr. Gratten. He's my father, said Henry, but he's gone away for a while. b The man looked at Henry and then went on working. Then Henry heard him remark, It's a tiresome conflict. Henry started-it was the very words his father often quoted, and following his father's example Henry said, But right will triumph. The man turned quickly and gave Henry a sharp glance, then went on working. Henry waited and soon the man crossed the yard and passed Henry, pressing something into his hand and whispering, Tomorrow at ten. Then the man continued his work as though nothing had happened. Henry went to his room and examined the any cubes. Only on one side of it was there writing and this bore a figure G, Henry was 4465! puzzled. VVhat connection did this figure have with his father? He examined the cube more closely and-what was that? A tiny key- hole in one corner. But where was the key? Suddenly it dawned upon him. His father left a bunch of keys for Henry to keep and Henry had secreted these in his bureau drawer. Quickly opening the drawer he drew out a bunch of keys. One of these keys bore the small figure UG. Inserting this key into the small hole Henry opened the cube and there neatly folded up lay a piece of paper. On this paper the words were written, Come to Papenburg tomorrow, 21 Branden Street. Report as a Workman. Oh! this was ua message for his father but Henry must carry it out. I've got to do it, thought Henry, but how? How can I leave this place without arousing suspicion P He slipped the cube and paper into his pocket and finally decided to try his level best. Next morning Henry made a slight pretext of The Blue fr VVhite going to see a friend at Papenburg, which was about three miles away. Starting about eight Henry arrived in Papenburg at twenty minutes of ten. He had been here a few times before so he had no trouble in finding 21 Branden Street. There was a building here under construction. Henry stood on the sidewalk contemplating what he should do next when, It's a tiresome confiict rang in his ears. Turning quickly he saw a boy about his own age standing close to his elbow. Again this was repeated, It's a tiresome conflict, and Henry answered mechanically, But right will triumph. There is danger ahead, whispered the boy, they are watching the place. Don't go near. Buy your bread across the street and eat it alone. With these words the boy was gone. Henry crossed the street and went into the baker's shop. It was a small store which had few provisions. Henry asked the baker for a loaf of bread. Have you a ticket F the baker asked. UNO-79 Well, then, I can not sell you the bread. Donft you know- He stopped short and glanced up to the store window and Henry turned just in time to see the boy who had warned him disap- pear. VVell, I guess you can have a loaf, but you had better eat it alone, said the baker. Henry took the bread, placed it in his knapsack, and left the store. Then he left the city and went to a secluded spot in the country to eat his lunch. He broke the loaf of bread apart to eat it, but it remained attached by a piece of paper which had been baked in the bread. Henry dug the paper out and read it. Three American prisoners have escaped from a prison camp and will be at Rogers' in Papenburg to- morrow night. Convey them to the border. They are needed by the American government. Henry burned the paper and started homeward. How could he, a boy of sixteen, do this perilous task set before him? But even now the words of his father came back to him, Do your duty. I'll do it, he muttered, even if Ilm caught. When he reached home he conceived a plan which he thought would work and went to bed pleased with the day's work. Westbrookp High School The next morning Henry went to see the land- lord, Peter. Peter needs some more hay from Papenburg and I can hide the three men in hay, thought Henry, and carry them over the frontier. When Henry found the landlord he asked, Have you got your hay yet, Peter ?', No, hay is pretty scarce here. Well, I've got to go to Papenburg for father and I'll get you some hay, said Henry. I know how to drive horses and it would help you. You're a smart boy, Henry. I guess you can do it. The preparations were completed and Henry set out for Papenburg. Arriving about noon, he went immediately and procured the hay. Then he drove out of town a little way and stopped. Taking out a wrench he took the nut off the axle of one of the rear wheels. Driving a little further the wheel came off and a part of the hay toppled off. There, I guess that will hold me, said Henry. He unhitched the horses and took them to a stable, and went in search of help. He must find this Rogers, the man alluded to in the letter. Coming up the street Henry saw the name hung out over a jeweler's shop. He entered the shop and there sat the man be- hind the counter. Reaching into his pocket, Henry took out the cube which the Workman had given him and, tapping on the case, asked the price of a watch. The jeweler eyed him and said, Are you alone P Yes. I have a load of hay out in the suburbs broken down. You should have gone to a blacksmith shop, said the jeweler. Oh! I thought you and your three men could help me. The man drew a quick breath. You,re a brick, he breathed. It will soon be dark and you will have help. Henry left the shop-successful. After dark four men dressed like Germans came up the street and Henry knew they were the prisoners. When they arrived the jeweler said, We must work quickly, before suspicion is laid on us. The men lifted the wagon and Henry slipped on 2l the wheel. Then Mr. Rogers told two men to get up on the hay and help store up the hay which had come off. At a word of command they buried out of sight and they were soon followed by their comrades, leaving Mr. Rogers and Henry alone on the road. Get your horses now, lad, said Mr. Rogers, and he walked off down the road. In about an hour Henry was ready to start. He drove directly toward the Dutch border. He was halted several times by soldiers, but his reasons were always taken and he was permitted to pass. Nearer and nearer he advanced to the border until only two miles lay between him and safety -only one more village to pass through. As he drove past the inn of the village a voice said, Halt. The Sentry advanced. Who is this, shouted an officer. 'fIt's a boy with a load of hay, said the sentry. What's he doing here this time of night P Henry endeavored to explain. Well, mused the officer. Then loudly- Unhitch those horses and I'll take them in the name of the government. Henry sat immovable-a blow to his hopes. Get down, roared the officer. Can't I take this hay home ? pleaded Henry. We need the hay. Get down. Henry descended heavy-hearted. He felt that discovery would surely come now to the prisoners buried in the hay. Two of you take the hay to camp, ordered the officer. Can't I ride with them ? asked Henry. The officer mumbled his consent and Henry climbed up in back of the two. They started. Henry watched every movement and then leaning over to the place where the men were hidden whispered his plan. The driver was shouting to the horses and his companion was singing. Neither paid any atten- tion to Henry. I'll cough as a signal, whispered Henry. As they were passing a lonely stretch of road Henry coughed. The hay lifted and three figures fastened onto the soldiers. In a short time all were bound and gagged and hid in the hay with the prisoners. 22 Henry drove on as before when he heard sev- eral automobiles approaching. The rack was driven into the field and the men and Henry hid while the automobiles passed. Then, with only a mile more, they set out again to safety and as the first streaks of dawn appeared all were safe in Holland and Henry knew he had not failed to do his duty. HOWARD COTTON, ,26.

The three commer- cial rooms of the school are fitted and equipped with all the machines and supplies of any modern business office. For the benefit of readers not familiar with the Commercial Department, it might be well to explain the course. English and penmanship, necessary to any good business, are required all four years. The follow- ing subjects are also required during successive years: Freshman year, Commercial Arithmeticg Sophomore, Bookkeeping and Commerce and In- dustryg junior, Typewriting and either Shorthand or advanced Bookkeeping, in the Senior year there are no additional subjects but all Commer- cial students are strongly advised to take Office Practice. In one of the Commercial rooms, Shorth-and, Arithmetic and Commerce and Industry classes are held. In this room is a cabinet of specimens valuable to the Commerce and Industry class which takes up the process of manufacture of various articles, principally in the United States. The Bookkeeping Room provides each student with a large desk. In addition to these desks there is a Monroe Calculator, a Comptometer, an Underwood typewriter for use in connection with the Dictaphone, a Slide Rule used for multiplying and dividing, and a Burrough's calculating machine. Last comes the Typewriting Room, which con- tains four different makes of typewriters: the Royal, Underwood, L. C. Smith and Remington. Before the end of the Senior year each student has learned to operate all four of these. There is also in this room a Dalton Adding, Calculating and Listing machine. As this equipment is the same as would be sup- plied in a Business College, one can obtain a good position if he is a graduate of this school without spending unnecessary time in a Business College. BARBARA LEIGHTON, '26, THE STORY OF MY LIFE ---BY A TYPEWRITER The first I knew of life, I was in the Under- wood Typewriter factory, ready to be put into a box and sent wherever my owner wished. One day a man whom I knew to be the order clerk, accompanied by the factory shipper, came over to my side and told the shipper to place me in a case and send me to Westbrook High School. After I was neatly packed in a case I was taken to the station and the case in which I was placed was properly marked for my destination. In spite of the fact that I was handled .and kicked about by thoughtless persons, the long journey would have been an enjoyable one if I could have had a good breath of fresh air. When I arrived at the Westbrook station I was handled by many different persons and finally carried to the school. I was immediately taken down to the typewriting room, unpacked, and then set on a table beside many of my brother type- writers. It is a very hard life that I live, except on week- ends, holidays and school vacations. During these periods I am covered up and given a good long rest. But on every day the school is in session, just put yourself in my place. I am pounded and hammered for a long four hours. Although I keep a sharp watch on the clock, the time does not go any faster. After I have written a line I am jerked to one side and I begin to write all over Westbrook High School V again. If I act badly I am turned upside, down and usually given a dose of oil, I suppose for med- icine. If I am touched on the wrong place, the student blames me and begins to pound me all the harder. Sometimes when a student finds an im- perfect place in the line I have written, he raises his hand and asks what the matter is with the typewriter and a friend will answer, I am sorry, but I think the fault is with you and not with the typewriter. In spite of the fact that I have to undergo many abuses there are some students who I know to be my friends. With the aid of these friends I am able to perform my work faithfully. BARBARA LEIGHTON, '26, MONEY The story of money is very interesting. There are very few people who realize how many changes have taken place since the first colonists came to America. There are five different kinds of paper money: The gold certificate which is backed by gold coing the silver certificate represented only by silver dollars in the United States Treasury, kept for the sole purpose of redeeming the silver certifi- categ the United States Promissory Note or green- back the amount of which is limited by law to S346,681,016 having new notes only to replace old ones and with a gold reserve of EB150,000.000 in coin, kept for redemption, the Federal Reserve Note issued only thru the Federal Reserve Banks 5 the Bank Notes issued by the National Banks, the fifth kind. All National Banks must make a reserve of Government Bonds in the Treasury at Washington for the amount issued and must keep 519 of the amount for redemption. When the colonists first came over here they did not bring much money with them, and that soon went back to England for supplies. To make up for the scarcity which existed, they ex- changed articles. Among these articles were Wampum, tobacco fthe Tobacco Note of 1728 was backed by tobacco depositsj, beaver skins, and vegetables. The first coins to be made in this country, adopted from the Spanish coin, were the silver Z5 shilling, sixpence, threepence and twopence made in Massachusetts in 1652. For a figure the pine tree was used and for thirty years they were dated 1652 with the exception of the two penny piece dated 1662. The first paper money was also made in Massa- chusetts thirty-eight years later. The colonists made blunders, and people and institutions, no- tably Harvard College, lost much money. The bills depreciated until one pound equalled five dollars. The next paper money was the Conti- nental Currency made by the states. By the end of the Revolution it had been too popular and there was a depreciation to such an extent that a bushel of corn cost 3150.00 and for a hat and suit Samuel Adams paid 32,000 The financial genius of the Revolution was Robert Morris, who established the Bank of North America in 1781. Alexander Hamilton, first Secretary of the Treasury, devised our present system of coining and the decimal system, the silver dollar being the unit. It was at Hamilton's suggestion that the First Bank of the United State was established in Philadelphia, issuing pa- per money, called bank notes. Other banks were established in Philadelphia, issuing paper money, called bank notes. Other banks were established in seven of the principal cities, but when they were needed most their charters had expired. The second Bank of the United States was es- tablished a few years later but was involved in political strife and in 1837 the charter ran out and the situation became worse than before. At this time many Wild Cat banks were estab- lished and found to be frauds, so in 1846 the Gov- ernment found it wiser to withdraw all of its deposits from all banks and take care of it at Washington. At the beginning of the Civil War all the gold and silver money disappeared so that large amounts of paper money had to be issued, causing still another depreciation. The people next ex- perimented in changes of postage stamps and then issued fractional currency in paper money, such as 3.50, .25, .10, and .05 bills . jay Cook established the National Banks in 1864 with a backing of Government Bonds in the Treasury at Washington. 'In 1879 paper money was still in currency but on Black Friday, Septem- 26 ber 24, 1869, Jay Gould and his confederates made an attempt to corner the gold market. The Federal Banks were established in 1913 and there are about 20,000 now. The country is divided into twelve sections, each having a principal bank. These banks do business with other banks only and are secured by gold deposits and commercial papers. Money is made in mints, the director having his office at Washington. Philadelphia has the largest mint. The coin is alloyed with copper to make it hard enough for use. This is cast in ingots passed thru rollers to make it the thickness of coins. It is then cut into blanks, weighed and purified and the edge is raised in the milling machine. It is next cleaned and dried ready to be stamped. Both sides are done at the same time between engraved dyers but they are not alike. The last thing to be done is the edge made ragged. It takes great pressure for the stamping. Nearly one-half billion of nickels and pennies are coined Industrial Several changes have been made in the teach- ing staff of the Industrial Department this year. Mr. Patrick, head of the Industrial Department of W. H. S. resigned his position to accept one at Augusta as State Supervisor of Vocational Ed- ucation. Mr. Alden, former Manual Training In- structor taking his place and a Mr. Percy Allen was secured to do the work formerly done by Mr. Alden. Mr. Lord remained, as in former years, Instructor of the Machine and Metal Shops. At the beginning of the school year in 1924 there were enrolled in the Industrial Course: Seniors, 6, Juniors, 153 Sophomores, 18, Fresh- men, 30.

Everything that is left is melted and this leaves the pieces of metal, which are then coined over again. In Philadelphia this amounts to about 310,000 a year. Paper money is printed at Washington and made in a private mint in Massachusetts. It has little fibres of colored silk run thru it. The plate took six months to be made and very costly ma- chinery must .,be used. This plate is not used itself, but the copies of it are. It takes thirty days to make the money, during which time it is counted more than fifty times. If three-fifths of a bill is there it is worth its face value and if between two-fifths and three-fifths it is worth half of its face value. When the bills are to be de- stroyed they are counted and put in columns, cut in two and counted again and then put in a steel machine where they are ground up. This machine has a lid secured by three locks, the keys of which are kept by three officials in Washing- tO1'l.

Miss King, of the faculty, has added to the success of the orchestra by helping at every pos- sible opportunity with her cello. The orchestra, quartet and trio have been heard at various social events. A great deal of their success is due to the training given them by Miss Wasson. On March 14 a concert was given, the proceeds of which made it possible for the entire orchestra to attend the Boston Symphony Concert when it came to the City Hall in Portland.

The years have passed swiftly, and, as all will agree, most profitably and enjoyably. So much has been said concerning our Fresh- man Reception that I will not say anything fur- ther. After the first two or three weeks we took an active part in the work of the school. Great joy was manifested when Ernestine Hanna and Beatrice Foster were named as members of the Prize Speaking Contest. Although they won no prizes they did credit to our class-and to their coach, Miss Lord. Our Sophomore and Junior years passed with no special events, except our trip to Augusta. Through the kindness and generosity of Mr. Alexander Spiers we were able to visit the State Capital. There we saw the Capitol building, the two houses of the legislature in session, and met the Governor. All were unanimous in voting it a very pleasant day. P Many pupils of '25 won a prominent place in the sehool's athletics. Kenneth Hawkes, Eugene Hebert, Edward Kinmond, Ellis LeBeau, and Brinton McLellan have, by their untiring work and practice, in baseball, football, and basketball, won many honors for themselves and for W. H. S. Several, indeed. have participated -in two or three lines. Roger Boothby showed what anyone could do when he really tried by securing an envi- able record in his last year. Margaret Suter- meister became a member of the basketball team her last year and is doing splendid work. Marion Emery, our star basketball player and captain, is leading her team to many victories, aided by the efficient coaching of Mr. Philbrook. Ernestine Hanna, Beatrice Foster, Frances Taylor, and Rachel Hutchins have helped make the annual Assembly Plays a success. This year Margaret Smith showed excellent talent in elocu- tion work and took part in the Prize Speaking Contest, together with Ernestine Hanna. Our class officers elected last September are as follows: President, Br-inton McClellan 3 Vice- President, Ellis LeBeau 5 Secretary and Treasurer, Wilma Babb. We have given no dances or plays this year, but The Blue Er White our time has been fairly well filled. In June many of us will probably look with envy upon the class of 1928, just finishing their first year, and with three happy ones ahead. , GLADYS TEAGUE, '25. .ill JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY September 18, 1922! An eventful date in the history of the class of 1926, for on this day we were ushered through the portals of Westbrook High School as that class of Freshiesf' Every member of that class entered with his mind filled with the highest hopes and aspirations of what he would accomplish during the time allotted him to remain there. We passed our Freshman year fully conscious of the dazzling brilliancy and intelligence of the mighty Seniors. Soon after our entrance we were honored with a Reception by that class which left some very lasting impressions on us. Our Freshman Class was very large, totaling 105 members. The Sophomore year, however, found our number decreased to 81. We regretted this loss of fellow students greatly but decided to work the more diligently to make up for it. Of course, as Sophomores, we assumed that peculiar dignity always noticed in that class. Nevertheless, this year proved us to be a real wide awake class with our share of representatives in the athletic and social activities of W. H. S. As this issue of the BLUE AND WHITE goes to press we number 67 members, the largest Junior Class in the records of W. H. S. Among the important events of the year came the election of class officers, who are as follows: President, Thomas Cairns 3 Vice-President, Nathaniel Town- send, Secretary and Treasurer, Annie Winslow. The choosing of the class, rings also afforded considerable enthusiasm. ' We feel that we have a right to be proud of the prominence of many of our classmates in the school activities. In athletics we are represented by Charles Canning, Clifford Canning, Roland Flinn, Ken- neth Morse and Nathaniel Townsend.

The Blue C-r White SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY The class of 1927 began its high school career with 100 members. At the close of our Fresh- man year it was reduced by some dropping back a class, others leaving school. The numbers of those who have registered in the Sophomore Class during the year 1924-25 is '71, but we are sorry to say that as this paper goes to press ten have dropped out. The class officers of this year are: President-Roland Chamard. Vice-President-Helen Jarrett. Secretary and Treasurer-Edwin Jensen. Among the girls and boys prominent in athletics are Dorothy and Marjorie King, Pauline Suter- meister, Mildred Mushreau, Jean Macdonald, Frances Richardson, Roland Chamard and Ray- mond Sullivan. Prize Speaking also has its place in our class, as Frances Richardson received the first prize given by the American Legion. In the school orchestra are: Olive Smith, Doris Stearns, Doris Allen, Sylvia Robinson and John Gerry.

A FRUITLESS ATTEMPT TO DISINTE- GRATE AND LABEL THE VARIOUS ACTIVITIES OF A FRESHMAN THRU- OUT THAT STAGE OF ILLUSION- MENT KNOWN AS SCI-IOOL : OR THE HISTORY OF THE AF ORESAID. At precisely 5:18 on the morning of the fif- teenth day, of the ninth month, of -the year 1924-, it became apparent in the east that preparations were going on for an American sunrise. Pre- liminary colors, chiefly gold and crimson, crept across the sky, urged on thru a dense bank of slowly settling clouds by his majesty, the sun. He speedily got about his work as heater and target for the hopeless mortals who must use him for conversation. This gorgeous ushering in should have instilled new energy and vigor into all of its beholders. And it probably did, to all but one hundred and thirty-two luckless mortals, henceforth known as Freshmen. At ten o'clock on this fateful day we crept to school, where we were dumfounded to enter without any trouble. We then went thru a short example of what was to follow, or rather, what 33 we were to follow for the next thirty-six weeks. Day after day dragged on till the 3rd of Oc- tober, the day of the Freshman Massacre, for- mally and politely known as the Freshman Recep- tion. Thru variously circulated tales we gained an inkling of the usual procedure in such cases, and we were in rather a quaky state. But, thru some kind beneficiary, we were advised to report, not early, but just in time, that is, at eight o'clock. Rest assured that we arrived exactly at eight. There we were tagged like cattle and pushed and mauled up the stairs where we rested for a second, only to be shoved on, where people lined up QI didn't notice who they werej, wrung our hands, whispered and murmured things to us, strange meaningless things, and finally wished us much belated luck. Then, left alone and feeling more than slightly foolish we woke up to the fact that we were something and were supposed to be polite and courteous. Of course there was the very necessary grand march and the usual dances where we dancedC?j under penalty of instant and horrible death, and trying all the while to look like something, even if we didn't feel that way. That was all, but it was enough to make us re- member that a Senior is a Senior and that a Fresh- man is not a Senior. to our usual work. A creditable number turned out for football and while we had no First string men, we showed promising results. . The lirst quarter appeared at its usual time and the usual number went below and the usual num- ber went high above, there being two that reached the height of honor students. The second quar- ter followed fast on its heels and we added to our honor list, there being eight this timeg this all going to prove that Freshmen are not as dumb as they look. All in all, I am inclined to believe that we have succeeded fairly well in our intellectual enterprise, with our crew of students, athletes, musicians, would-be actors, writers, men of heavy intellect C the whole classj and general good fellows. We are due to be the best class that ever squirmed around in the seats of Westbrook High.

The purpose of this is to enlighten the pub- lic in regard to the high school curriculum, which for a number of years past has either been only partially published or entirely omitted. A clear and complete publication of the course of study is necessary for the guidance of teachers, pupils and parents, and is also convenient to send to other schools and colleges when requested by them. At the present time the high school offers a col- lege preparatory, a commercial, an industrial and a general course, with some excellent but sadly limited instruction in music and domestic arts on the side. The number of points necessary in each course for graduation is 32, except in the indus- trial department, which still continues to require 34 points. The larger number of points required in this department is more than offset by the small number necessary in prepared subjects, which number for this course is only 22, while for the college preparatory course it is 30, for the general 28, and for the commercial 26. The balance of the points may be obtained in unprepared subjects, such as music, typewriting, mechanical drawing, domestic science, and shop work. ' The need of having a minimum requirement for points earned in prepared lessons is evident when we consider that in years past it has actually been possible to secure a diploma on 24 points of un- prepared work plus eight points in English, and such a diploma would bring as much honor and prestige to its possessor as the diploma of the boy or girl who had earned perhaps as high as thirty or even more points in prepared subjects. This situ- ation will no longer be possible under the new arrangement. By this plan a degree of mental training commensurate with the course is assured, and the meaning of the diploma more nearly established on the basis of the successful com- pletion of a required amount of prepared work, in whichever course is pursued. - It may appear at first glance that if pupils in other departments are required to obtain from 26 to 30 points in prepared subjects that boys in the industrial course are unduly favored in having to secure only 22. But when we consider that these same boys are obliged to earn 8 points in shop work during their last two years, besides spending at least 3521 of the remainder of their time in rc- lated work, like mechanical drawing, in order that the city may continue to draw federal aid, and also that they must have 34 points for graduation, it becomes evident that the inequality, if any, is very slightj The question naturally arises as to what effect the new requirements will produce. Will a pre- mium be placed upon prepared work to the detri- ment of valuable point and half-point subjects that do not require outside preparation, such as manual training, machine shop, mechanical draw- ing, chorus, orchestra, typewriting, office-practice, cooking and sewing, and penmanship? A survey of the course of study shows that penmanship and typewriting as required subjects in the commercial course will not be affected at allg that manual training, shop and mechanical drawing, as require- ments in the industrial department will likewise suffer no detriment. How about office-practice, domestic science and music? Training in office- practice is eagerly sought by commercial students and while it is not required for graduation it forms such a necessary part of commercial train- ing that as many as can be accommodated can be counted upon to take it, regardless of its value in points. Domestic science, under the capable ad- ministration of Miss Byrne, needs no artificial Westbrook High School EBEN DOW, Druggist Tie Qxal! Store SOUTH WINDHAM N MAINE Compliments of I F. H.

Public speaking as a compulsory subject will not be affected. Music is more likely to suffer a decreased attend- ance than any other course, but when we consider that there are 120 in the Chorus this year it will be seen that quite a large falling Off would still leave a very respectable number. The orchestra can probably always be relied upon to include most of the instrumentalists in school, regardless of points toward graduation. Music needs very little artificial stimulation. This is shown by the fact that very few of those who are now taking it need the points, and also by the fact that several pupils are doing extra work in music with no expectation of credit in the form of points. The general effect oi these changes is to make it more difficult to secure a diploma by requiring a certain number of points in prepared subjects, no matter how much may be done in unprepared courses. It places the emphasis upon study and preparation of lessons, which is the basis of mental training and development. At the same time the unprepared work will still go on with little or no diminution in numbers, because so much of it comes Linder the head of required sub- jects. The amount of prepared work is not ex- cessive or unreasonable, however, and has been placed as low as consistent with the purposes in view. For instance, a pupil taking a college pre- paratory course could not expect to meet the aver- age college entrance requirements unless he had at least 30 points of prepared work to his credit, and it would be the part of wisdom for him early in his high school career to look up the entrance conditions of the college to which he aspires, and make sure that he is taking the right subjects and enough of them. These new requirements for graduation will not affect members of the present senior and junior classes, but will be applied to the two lower classes and subsequent classes. y COLLEGE PREPARATORY.

H. S. in an almost unbroken string of victories. The team was exceptionally strong in the box. He- bert and Burton proved by the far the best pitch- ing staff in the League. Hebert established a league record of eleven consecutive strikeouts in the first game with So. Portland. Burton pitched five innings against Lewiston High, nine against Sanford High, nine against Biddeford High and five .against Deering Without permitting a score, a record of 28 consecutive innings without allow- ing a run. It would require a long searching of high school records to find anything comparable to this remarkable feat. Burton pitched a 1 to 0 game against Biddeford, and his best work of the year was his sterling effort against Portland at Bayside, the game ending 1 to 0 in favor of W. H. S., due to masterly pitching throughout the entire game, especially in the last inning when Portland made a desperate attempt to win. Hebert's su- preme effort was his 4 to 3 victory over Thornton Academy at Saco in a 14 inning game. All through the season his work was of the same high grade. The effective work of the box-men was due in large part to Chamard behind the bat, who in his first year in high school was by many considered the best catcher in the League. Le- Beau at first base, Stanford at second and McClel- lan at third, were all veterans and played their positions in a way calculated to bring despair to the heart of all opposition. Charles Canning filled the short stop berth and showed himself to be one of the most valuable shortstops in the League. Clifford Canning, Hawkes, Pendexter, Morse and King, formed a group of excellent out- fielders, with plenty of speed and power. Westbrook won the opening game with Lewis- ton High and then proceeded to wade through the League schedule to victory and the championship. The schedule follows: Thornton Academy, at Westbrook, 7-1 Biddeford High, at Westbrook, 1-0 Thornton Academy, at Saco, 3-2 Sanford High, at Westbrook, 7-0 Bowdoin 2nd, at Brunswick, 6-5 Deering High, at Westbrook, 10-7 South Portland High, at Westbrook, 7-2 Catholic High, at Bayside, 5-2 Portland High, at Bayside, 1-0 Biddeford High, at Biddeford, 7-1 Deering High, at Bayside, 9-6 Catholic High, at Westbrook, 10-7 Portland High, at Westbrook, 2-6 South Portland High, at Fort Preble, Lewiston High, at Lewiston, 7-5 Fifth Infantry, at Westbrook, 3-5 Westbrook High enters upon the 1925 season in baseball with probably as good prospects as any of the Telegram League Teams. Barring acci- dents W. H. S. should have the strongest battery in the League, with Hebert -and Flinn, pitchers, and Chamard, catcher. For the infield, McClel- lan, Stanford and Charlie Canning, all veterans, are available and in the outfield there are Clifford Canning, Hawkes and King of last year's team. The problem is to find a first baseman to replace Ellis LeBeau, who is ineligible because of the age limit. The schedule of the Telegram League follows: April 18-Portland at Biddeford, South Portland at Thornton, Deering vs. Catholic at Bayside. April 22-Thornton at Portland, Deering at Biddeford. April 25-Deering at South Portland, Catholic at Portland. April 29-Westbrook at Biddeford, South Portland vs. Catholic at Bayside.

Following the League season of 1924 the Boosters organized a game with the 5th Infantry, to raise funds to take the High School team to Boston to see a Big League game. Public spirited citizens furnished automobiles and accompanied the boys. The day was stormy, with violent rain all the forenoon, but upon arriv- ing in Boston at noontime, everyone was glad to see the sun shining. After dinner the team went to Braves' Field and saw the Giants defeat the Braves. After the game the next stop was at Revere Beach, where some of the boys limbered up their arm by throw- ing at the African Dodger. A shore dinner was served in a restaurant with Mr. McFarland serv- ing as toastmaster. Some excellent speeches were made. All who made the trip will always remember it as an extremely pleasant occasion. The trip home was made in a dense fog but all arrived safely under the careful and efficient guidance of Mr. McFarland. All through the season the Boosters stood be- hind the team and did much to make victory pos- sible. To name all those who took an active interest would be out of the question, but the school is grateful for the friendly interest shown on every hand by so many of the citizens of Westbrook. FOOTBALL The football season officially opened Sept. 15th, with Capt. Brit. McClellan and a nucleus of vet- The Blue fu- VVhite erans, namely: Ellis LeBeau, Eugene Hebert, Edward Kinmond, Elwood Howe, Raymond Sul- livan, Thomas Cairns, Clifford Canning and Charles Canning. The team played a most suc- cessful season, winning eight out of nine games. The school was fortunate in again having Gin- ger Fraser, whose untiring efforts deserve much credit for the merit of the team. A squad of about thirty-five men appeared daily throughout the season. Much of the success of the first team is due largely to the hard work of the second team. The second team played games with both Deering's and Portland's second teamsg over Deering they won, but to Portland they lost both games. Also, a team was started this year, composed entirely of Freshmen. Special mention should be given to the games with Portland, Skowhegan and Deering. Wnsrmzoox, 13-PORTLAND, 0 Westbrook went to Bayside to seek revenge for the defeat of last year. Spectacular gains by Capt. McClellan, behind splendid interference given by LeBeau and Cliff Canning, accounted largely for the touchdowns. After Portland had made its most impressive showing, a long march from its 29-yard line to Westbrook's 25-yard line, where faulty handling of the ball first prevented the Blue's gaining any more, the ball went to Westbrook. Westbrook, in possession of the ball, marched up the .field to Portland's 6-yard line, from where McClellan took it over for the first touchdown. The second touchdown came after Ives repulsed two thrusts at his position, and on the next attempt, McClellan circled the left end for the touchdown, and added the final point by kicking a goal. WEsTBRooK, 27-SKOWHEGAN, 20 Westbrook High smashed over four touch- downs in the first half, valiantly battled a last half rally by its heavier opponents in the last two periods and defeated a greatly favored Skow- hegan eleven. Brint McClellan and Cliff Can- ning were as usual the outstanding backs, in the line Gene Hebert and Eddie Kinmond stood out head and shoulders by their sterling defensive play. Westbrook scored in the first and second periods, touchdowns being made by McClellan, Hebert, Kinmond -and Cliff Canning. Stinchfield and Furber scored for Skowhegan.

Admiral McFarland marshaled his forces in fine order and kept the long line closed up, and in mo- tion. It was a Htting climax to a splendid vic- tory, and gave the enthusiastic crowd a chance to express its happiness. The weather, fortunately, was such that the large number who planned to attend the game were able to do so, in comfort, and enjoy the contest without any of the discom- Fiture that is so apt to accompany a late season game. Before the game the VVestbrook rooters FOOTBALL SQUAD punt at the goal line, and then thrown Charlie Canning for a safety, which gave the Portland eleven a two-point margin, VVestbrook fought grimly almost to the final gun before success.

Vliith Captain McClellan and the two Canning Brothers in the backheld, all three being powerful in offense and defense, and with Hebert and Howe, ends, Sullivan and Kinmond, tackles, Boothby, Mogan, King and Melcher, alternating at guard position, and Cairns, center, it can be easily seen why our opponents found it difficult in gaining ground.

The High School is deeply appreciative of the friendly interest and support of the American Legion. BOYS' BASKETBALL Westbrook's expectations of a splendid team for 1925 were not disappointed. The coming of Roland Flinn was all that was needed to make last yearls team, which remained practically intact, a championship outfit. Coach Flinn kept his boys in splendid shape all the time, and their superi- ority over other teams was never more manifest than in the final moments of the game. Excellent condition, superior coaching, and a splendid spirit of sportsmanship, all contributed to the success of a season which will long remain a bright spot in basketball history at W. H. S. In writing up the season's report we will con- tent ourselves with publishing the schedule with the results of the games previous to the Bates Tournament, which was the climax of the season. VV e have taken the liberty to cull from the news- paper reports for the Writeups of the games played at the tournament. The Blue fu- White At this writing the American Legion is plan- ning to give a supper in honor of the team, similar to the one given to the football team at the close of the football season last fall. WEsTBRooK vs. Mexico The Westbrook High School big boys blasted Mexico High's hopes of lugging off the Bates Col- lege inter-scholastic basketball tourney honors, de- feating them in the opening round, 41 to 18. The size, reach and speed of the Westbrook quintet were too much for the Mexico Pintos. Westbrook was held well in check during the first quarter, which ended with the Mexicans on the long end of a 10 to 5 score. Both teams fought at a terrific pace in the second period. Westbrook, realizing its power, pressed. on and at the end of the half the score stood, Mexico 14 and Westbrook 13. Mexico left the court at the end of the half, showing plainly how the pace was telling on her. The husky Westbrook five seemed to have just about caught its second breath. Before the third quarter was well under way, practically everybody in the big hall saw defeat facing Mexico. Unable to carry the ball thru the Westbrook defense and lacking a good defense of its own, the Mexicans' slowly gave way before the big West- brook men. The third period ended with West- brook in possession of 25 points and Mexico trailing with but 16. McClellan, Flinn and Townsend led the pack in the last period slaughter. Townsend, the big Westbrook center, comes in for a big share of the credit for his team's victory. He was on top on every tip off, directing the ball down to his teammates in a lightning like play which carried it from center to basket before the Mexico backs had a chance to throw out a defense. Captain Hebert and Sullivan, during the last two periods, played great basketball on the defense for VVestbrook. Play after play was broken up by these two hoop men. In pounding out a brief history of the game, the name of Captain Todd should figure prom- inently. Todd, who has been a tower of strength on the Mexico outfit during the past season, played sweet basketball, tho handicapped by an injury in the second period.

WE,sT1:RooK vs. CATHOLIC HIGH The Westbrook-Catholic duel, the second game of the afternoon, was not as good from a basket- ball standpoint as the first tilt but was packed with thrills due to the roughness which was inter- mittently injected by both teams. Catholic, how- toss line, however, they made good four fouls and led, 10 to 8, at the end of the half. From the second half on there was no question as to the result. Three pretty shots by Hebert, Sullivan and Flinn pulled the mill towners out ahead to a 17 to 11 lead at the end of the third canto. Gene Hebert went wild to score three honeys from the Floor and as many from the foul strip in the last session. Catholic was held to two baskets and a foul in the last half. Hebert was the only VVestbrook player to show any of the stuff which was uncorked against Mexico, although the rest began to Hash under his leadership near the close.

Flatley WESTBROOK vs. SOUTH PORTLAND The beautiful silver cup which for two days has stood on the scoring table at Lewiston City Hall, symbolic of the basketball championship of West- ern M-aine, tonight became the possegssion of Westbrook High's dope-toppling team when the Paper City crew won the final game of the fourth Bates College Interscholastic Tournament from South Portland High, 31 to 22. Exhibiting a return of the power which enabled them to upset Mexico's wonder team in the pre- liminary round Friday, Westbrook won its second game of the day in decisive fashion, although South Portland offered a stubborn fight. Flinn. Sullivan and Townsend, the lengthy stars of tl Blue cluster, gave the tourney Winners an edge on the South Portlanders, with Tom Barry the ace of the Cape quintet. As in their two previous tournament duels. Westbrook showed its greatest effectiveness in the second half and at the end began piling up an unneeded string of tallies. For a short time in the last half the Crimson five gained but suffered by fouls and dropped behind again. Fears that the thrilling battle between Mexico and VVestbrook on Friday night would be the tournament feature instead of the fray, which would decide the final winner, were dispelled from the start. From beginning to end the second battle of the season between the two old rivals was a beauty to watch, and a cluster of sensational shots sparkled against the background of smoothly executed team play on the part of each outfit. South Portland hopped away in front, 8 to 6, in the opening period, when Nelson and Lord Counted from the floor and Barry and McCann dropped in fouls. Lord's shot was one of the most sensational scores of the evening, tossed with one hand While traveling at full speed under the hoop. The Cape quintet started off the second period, also, when Nelson scored on a free toss, but at The Blue fr VVhite this point the Westbrook power began to appear. F linn arched in two beautiful baskets and McClel- lan followed with another. Nelson caged a beauty but Townsend scored on a foul and Flinn's basket gave the Westbrook lads a 14 to 11 edge as the half ended. The second half, with both teams going into the game with renewed fight, started with a crash, Westbrook slightly outscoring the Crimson, to gain a 22 to 16 lead, when the third period ended. Hebert and McClellan both scored from the floor and Flinn tallied twice, Hebert also adding two counters on free shots. McCann and Nelson scored for the Red. The fourth period was not quite so close and Westbrook increased its lead by scoring nine points against South Portland's six. Against baskets by Barry and McCann, Westbrook came back with scores by Flinn, McClellan, Hebert and Townsend and salted away victory and the tour- nament cup. Westbrook's seizure of the cup added a new name to the list of teams which have previously captured it at Bates, Portland, South Portland and Biddeford. STATISTICS OF FINAL BATTLE WESTBROOK G. FG.

The team left VVestbrook early Saturday morning, for the game was scheduled to be played in the afternoon. Arriving in Rockland about noon the girls secured rooms at the Thorndike Hotel and remained there until time for the game. At three o'clock both teams, confident of win- ning, were on the floor for the starting whistle. During the first few minutes of play Westbrook was unable to find herself and Rockland, ac- quainted with a large floor and overhanging bal- conies, gained a handsome margin, but were unable to hold it after Marion and Elouise Girard received a few chances to shoot. During the first half Westbrook was unable to obtain the lead and the score at the expiration of that time was 11 to 10 in Rockland's favor. The The Blue fa- VVhite second half Westbrook c-ame back with a deter- mination to make up for the mistakes which the team had made during the first half. Imme- diately Westbrook took the lead with two baskets by Miss Emery and one by Miss Girard. After this both teams had several chances to count but shot wildly. However, during the last two min- utes of play Westbrook gathered one more point and Dorothy Breen, Rockland's star forward, dropped in two nice ones from directly under, with a score of 17 to 15 in favor of Westbrook. After the game the Rockland girls entertained the Westbrook team at their respective homes for supper. Special mention should be made at this time of the party given to our girls at the home of the Mayor. Rockland's basketball boys and girls were present as well as several of the high school students. Here the Westbrook team was enter- tained by music, games, dancing and refreshments. The entire trip is one that the team will long remember and it is hoped that it will be repeated another year. The following made the trip: Captain Marion Girard, Manager Elouise Girard, Marjorie King, Dorothy King, Margaret Sutermeister, Lena Mogan, Winnifred Smith, Pauline Sutermeister, Ruth Libby, Mrs. Philbrook, Coach Philbrook. As we go to press we have just time to note Westbrook's defeat by S. P. H. S. in Cumberland Gymnasium by a score of 34 to 22. GIRLS' BASKETBALL REPORT Basketball practice for the girls started soon after Thanksgiving. Twenty-three came out for the first practice and among them were two reg- ulars and two substitutes of last year's champion- ship team.

Including the citizens and the boys' team, which was invited, over forty were seated at the tables, where a delicious repast was served. After the banquet every one retired to the reception room, where a good time was en- joyed. Mr. Cordwell, with his ever ready witty The Blue f-r White defense, but the clever work of the guards kept her from scoring. On the other hand, Captain Emery kept the Rockland guards guessing every moment of play and during the game scored twenty-six points. Her team-mate, Elouise Gir- ard, played a fine game also, gathering in seven- teen points. The game ended with a score of forty-three to twelve in Westbrook's favor. Another game of which special mention should l 1 l GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM remarks, acted as toastmaster and called upon sev- eral of those present to speak. Up to February 14 of this year the team has played eight games, losing two. On this date Westbrook played Rockland with a determination to make up for the defeat of two years ago. With the reputation that Rockland maintains as a bas- ketball team we anticipated keen competition, but as the game progressed it proved that our team was far superior. The game was not lacking in several times Dorothy thrills, however, for Breene, Rockland's star forward, broke thru our be made is the game between Westbrook and Portland, played at VVestbrook. Earlier in the season Portland won over Westbrook by two bas- kets. These were made after one of the guards was obliged to leave the game on account of fouls, the score at the time being 15 to 15. With this defeat in mind .our girls were determined to win over Portland on our home floor. The game started with two regulars absent from the line-up, because of ineligibility. This did not check the interest of the game, however, and the closeness of the score throughout the contest kept VVestbrook High School the crowd on edge. Portland was the first to score, but Marion Emery came right back, making it even with a nice shot. At the end of the first quarter baskets by Mildred Mushreau put West- brook three points ahead, 9 to 6. The second quarter was nearly a repetition of the first. Finally Capt. Emery caged a basket, giving West- brook the lead at the end of the half, 16 to 14. Both teams came out at the second half realiz- ing that it was anybody's game. Marion Emery gave the Westbrook fans a chance to cheer by garnering three baskets in a row that gave West- brook a 25 to 20 lead. With only one foul added to W estbrook's score and three lucky baskets for Portland in the last few minutes of play the score ended in a 26 to 26 tie. At present we have five games scheduled to play.
