J-- FOREWORD might use the word enthusiasm, and coin the Out of many hours of thought and earnest en- deavor has risen this issue of the BLUE AND WIIITE. From our powers of imagination have we conceived our storiesg from the cleverness and deeds of our fellow-students have we arranged the material which we prize and cherish as mem- ories of our high school days. As a mirror we have tried to reflect the life, the Interests, and the students of Westbrook High School. VVe admit the inadequacy of words to express our thoughts. but we trust our considerate readers to enter into the spirit with which we have prepared these words and look beyond our seem- ing frivolity and see the ambitious spirit of youth. aspiring to greatness and nobility. Thus we ask for your just and tempered crit- icism of our beloved high school magazine. the BLUE AND WHITE. TIIE EDITORIAL lloxun. SCHOOL ENTHUSIASM School spirit is the very essence of life to a successful school. Instilled in the hearts of a student body, it exerts a subtle influence always working for the best. A school under its benign spell is blessed with honor, prestige and victory. But the term school spirit seems to be an indefinite one. It is not, as many suppose, con- fined to one phase of school life, either athletics or study, to jumping, cheering, and throwing one's hat in the air at a football game, or to mere rank-getting. It is a broad term and applies to every undertaking that we attempt. To make it clearer and more intelligible, we phrase School Enthusiasm. In every line of work, in every endeavor, and in our amusement, we should have enthusiasm, but it is in school where we form habits that fol- low us through life, that an enthusiastic manner can be cultivated to the best advantage. If we enter into our studies with this spirit, with an ardent desire for knowledge, realizing how essential a good education is to a successful future, we must inevitably succeed and therefore do our part in raising the standard of our school. In college and in the business world the success of VV. ll. S. is established by the quality of its graduates, so it is our duty to acquire there the tools that will make for our success. If we enter the games, if we support our athe letics with this same zest, victory will be ours and the financial returns will be more gratifying. Every coach endeavors to inspire his team with enthusiasm. It is only with this attitude that the training and practice gives the best results. A large attendance of enthusiastic students at the games and good cheering urges the teams on to victory. We should all stand behind the fighters while the battle is on and make some sacrifice for the glory of our school. If we also are willing to support the other school activities with the loyalty that is so neces- sary for their success. we can feel we have done our share in living up to the full meaning of School Enthusiasm and have helped XVestbrook High School be a leader in scholarship and ath- letics. LET'S HAVE SCHOOL ENTHUSIASMH IN W. H. S.!!!!!! The City of Happiness is in thc State of Mind. 1 Westbrook High School Eif i7! 7 THE VALUE OF AN ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The friendships and associations of four years of high school are held as cherished memories by the graduate. A pang of regret strikes the heart of every loyal student when he realizes the time is at hand to leave behind the Alma Mater that has given him remembrances that are treasured as jewels and are often called upon to brighten the dark moments that must come to everyone during a lifetime. VV ould it not be easier and far less sad to leave our school at graduation, would it not be pleas- anter and more satisfying to know that W. H. S. has an Alumni Association that has the power to call together the classes of the past in a reunion, at which the acquaintance of former classmates may be renewed, where old times and present conditions could be discussed and a happiness be obtained from seeing old friends? An Alumni Association would be an asset and an advantage to the school by furnishing an op- portunity for backing up school projects and making prevalent an interest in the school that would inevitably lead to success in any undertak- ing. There is no doubt that every alumnus has wished that there were an association of this kind. There is no reason why we cannot have an Alum- ni Association, if only the necessary interest and enthusiasm can be aroused and a beginning made. The Alumni in this city could efficiently organize and promote an Association that would unite the graduates of W. H. S. once more. Let us hope that such a movement will soon be started and the students of W. H. S. in the future can look forward to the annual activities of a live-wire Alumni Association. CHANGES IN THE TEACHING STAFF On returning to school it was with deep regret that the students of Westbrook High School learned of the resignation of so many of their former teachers. Miss Marion E. Lord, teacher of English and Coach of Dramatics, resigned to accept a very fine position in New Bedford High School, Mass- achusetts. Miss Lord was very popular among the students and her leaving seemed to darken the school life of those who knew her. Mr. Waldo R. Flinn, Athletic Coach and teach- er of Science, also resigned to study Business Administration at Harvard. His going was keenly felt by the students who greatly respected his amiable personality and ability as a coach. We were also very sorry to learn of the resigna- tion of Miss Ethel King, teacher of Latin and French and Miss Grace Johnson, teacher of His- tory, both who had been members of the faculty for several years. M-iss King is now teaching in Lewiston High and Miss Johnson is married. Miss Beryl Cram resigned to accept a similar position in Cohasset High School. Miss Ger- trude Harvey, teacher of English, is married. Miss Martha Wasson left to assume similar duties as instructor of Music in Gorham Normal School. Mr. Percy Allen of the Manual Training Depart- ment also left to accept a position elsewhere. We welcome the following teachers as members of the faculty of W. H. S.: Miss Vera Eldridge, English and Dramaticsg Mr. Newman Young, Athletic Coach and Science teacher: Miss Ethelyn Percival, Mathematicsg Miss Pauline Abbott, History, Miss Isabelle K. Pease, Englishg Miss Lucille Davis, Englishg Mr. Joseph Given, Manual Training. Miss Elizabeth Whittier, formerly teacher of Mathematics, now has charge of the French and Latin Departments, her place being filled by Miss Percival. Miss Pease is head of the Eng- lish Department. THE 1926 BLUE AND WHITE This issue of the BLUE AND WHITE has the privilege of offering to its readers two new di- divisions in the form of a French and an Art De- partment. The interest in the French language has prompted the creation of a French Department. We not only hope it will be of interest to the stu- dents but also to the citizens of Westbrook. Due to the organization of an Art Class hy Mr. Ansel B. Sterling, a report of the work of those students has been written. You carft be cz howling success by simply howling. 8 The Blue fr VVhite Special attention should be called to the large number of poems included in this publication. Poetic fancy seems to be prevalent in W. H. S. this year and has resulted in many fine contri- butions to our magazine. Because of the large number in the Senior Class it has been thought advisable to make a rearrangementvof the Senior statistics. We trust, nevertheless, that this change will add to the artistic merit of the magazine. We are indebted to Mr. William Vallee, Art Editor, for the line cuts he has given us and we take this opportunity of thanking him, and the other members of the staff for their diligence and interest. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In publishing this magazine much credit and many thanks are due to the following friends of the BLUE AND WHITE: To the S. D. Warren Co., who have generously furnished us with the paper on which the BLUE AND WHITE is printed. To the members of the faculty, who have aided us in the preparation of the different departments. To Mr. Henry S. Cobb for his hearty co-opera- tion and for the splendid care and artistry with which he has printed this book. To the whole Editorial Board for their com- petent aid in their various positions. Finally, to all of our advertisers who have thus aided us in making our magazine a financial success. 16?- ra,, I-I' . 5' ' ' E s. Q Ru' -.

The cast was composed of the following students, who, by the Fine character- ization of their parts, showed that much thought and study had been centered on their work. Sylvie une bonne .................................... Margaret Smith Cecile la fillede la maison ....... Olga Hendrickson La cuisinere ........................... ................, F rances Taylor La couturiere ..................,. .......... E lizabeth Marshall Le garcon boulanger ....... .......... R obert Bancroft Le coutier de commerce .......... Raymond White La maitresse d'anglais ................................ Thelma Whalen Miss Marion Lord coached the dramatic action of the sketch. During the Spring term the Venetian Glass Blowers gave a very instructive original and entertaining exhibition of their skill before the assembled students of W. H. S. In demonstrating their interesting work they illustrated the methods of preparing the various pieces of glass apparatus familiar to the students of Chemistry. They also illustrated the making of Christmas ornaments and gave a vivid account of the progress of glass manufacturing. Their lecture was followed by several entertaining fea- tures. Mr. Harold Hamilton, a former student of the high school, presented to the Assembly at the close of the school year a very rare and valuable series of photographs of the recent solar eclipse of 1925. This picture now hangs in the library where it has been much appreciated and com- mented upon by the students. Through this is- sue of the BLUE AND WHITE we wish to extend to Mr. Hamilton our sincere appreciation of his generous gift. The week of October 20th was observed at Westbrook High School as Old Ironsides or Constitution week. This movement was spon- sored by the U. S. Navy Department and was for the purpose of obtaining contributions from the school children throughout the United States, in order that a fund might be established to thor- oughly repair and maintain the old ship Con- stitution which obtained such fame during the War of 1812. Considerable satisfaction may be felt by W. H. S. students from the fact that they contributed so generously to this worthy cause. The Curtis Publishing Company subscription contest held for a week during the fall term re- sulted in securing a total of 395 subscriptions for The Ladies' Home fournal, Saturday Erfening Post and Country Gentleman. The three upper classes who participated in this contest were divided into three teams called, respectively, the Rockets, Comets, and the Meteors. A chart depicting a route to the moon served to record daily the sales of each team. In the end, the R0ckets' team won by securing a very large number of subscriptions. The contest was organized by Mr. Philip Marsh of the Curtis Publishing Company. To arouse enthusiasm for the sales campaigns he entertained the school with a series of interesting and in- structive lectures in salesmanship. One-half the amount taken in was sent to the Curtis Publish- ing Company and the remainder being divided into four parts, one-fourth going to the Assembly and the others' parts being added to the class fund of the three classes participating. A sum of about forty dollars was the share of each party. Tuesday, October 13th, the Reverend Gilbert Traveler, famous cowboy preacher was intro- A friend you have to buy 'won't be worth what you have to pay for him. I0 The Blue G- White duced to the Assembly by the Rev. Draper of the Methodist Church. Mr. Traveler spoke on the life in the West and demonstrated the ditTer- ent uses of the lariat and other accessories of the cowboy. His lecture was greatly appreciated and enjoyed by the students. The annual Public Speaking Contest was held at Warren Church, February 19, 1926. The varied program was presented with a gratifying success. The prizes were, this year, as in the past, gen- erously awarded by the Stephen W. Manchester Post of the American Legion. The honor of first prize was bestowed upon Linwood Lagerson of the Sophomore Class. Miss Doris Drisko, a Junior, was presented second prize. Both Lager- son and Miss Drisko have spoken at former contests. The judges were Mrs. Marion W. Theis, Mr. Guy V. Sinclair and the Reverend Albert Hammond of this city. Much credit is due Miss Vera Eldridge for her successful and efficient coaching. The program is as follows: Selection by Westbrook High School Orchestra Topgy, H. B.

Miss Wha- len has been very prominent in the activities of W. H. S., holding the positions of Assistant and French Editor of the BLUE AND WHITE and being in the cast of The Charm School as well as on the Prize Speaking Program. Through this issue of the BLUE AND WHITE, the Assembly wishes to express its appreciation of the hard work of the members of the cast of The Charm School. The play will be presented the afternoon and evening of April 16th. No one should miss the opportunity of seeing this very delightful American comedy. Under the able coaching of Miss Vera Eldridge the pres- entation is sure to maintain the high degree of excellence that has always marked the Assembly plays.

The addition of a new set of shelves in the library has been found very convenient in holding the several books that have appeared there recently. Among these books are: Compton's Pictured Encyclopedia Q10 vol.J. Nelson's Perpetual Loose-Leaf Encyclopedia f 12 vol.j. Life of john Marshall C4 vol.j. The Story of Mankind.

I2 The Blue f-r VVhite LU-lwklfikkie .. IN A CLOUD OF SMOKE Old Nabonkis was fond of telling of the past glories of his people, the once strong and power- ful Chicoots. He could usually be found in his hut at the edge of the lake, where he lived in her- mit fashion, depending upon the kindness of the people who visited him to furnish him a meagre existence. It was here that Kenneth Harlan had gone. The English teacher in his school had assigned for the coming Friday, a short story, and Kenneth had searched his brain for ideas, but none had issued from that seemingly void region. I wondered if old Nabonkis could give me an -idea, he questioned himself, and as the thought came to him he set off to call upon the old Indian. Nabonkis was sitting before his fire, smoking his curiously wrought pipe, and as Kenneth came in he only nodded his greeting and sat im- passively smoking. Kenneth explained his errand and Nabonkis looked wise and secretly felt Hattered that his stories were appreciated. He drew a few more puffs of his pipe, as if in the clouds of smoke he could call up vision of a dramatic narrative. As the smoke cleared away he settled himself comfortably and began his story in the picturesque and poetic Indian manner. In the early days of my people, in the days that were prosperous, good and peaceful, there was a warrior by the name of Ableetah, son of Seehowah. A brave and valiant warrior was this Ableetah, handsome and brilliant was this son of Seehowah. But the days of peace and plenty did not last for always. A pestilence came upon my people, the no-ble Chicoots. A pestilence in the form of a pack of ravaging wolves saddened my people. Numerous and evasive were these wolves, killing cows and sheep by the hundreds, vanishing in the darkness of the midnight. Frightened and cring- ing were the brave Chicoots for marry of their men who had been hunting for these messengers of the Evil Spirit, came no more to their wig- wams. Their wives and children were sad and gloomy for a pestilence has come upon my peo- ple. But from this drear and dreadful turmoil arose the brave and valiant Ableetah, the saviour of this people. Thinking hard and rightly he had formed a plan, a plan worthy of his brilliant mind. He would start a banded hunting party. The banded tribe of Chicoots would face the pestilence so hateful as was this. They hunted in a body, well-armed with bows and arrows. Ableetah led the party, led to victory the brave Chicoots and in the forests, in the dark and gloomy forests no more ruled the messengers of Evil. Nabonkis ended his narrative, puffed his pipe and again surrounded himself with clouds of smoke as if to form a group of misty phantoms of the brave and noble Chicootsf' 4 GEORGE FREIDAY, JR., '26.

She was just the sort that flittered thru last season's affairs, the sort of things where Bertie Van Bibber, Hallo- well, Reginald, Clive and others hang out. Sort of a market place where these fellows are cap- tured by the mothers for their Debs. You really should meet Bertie. the life and death of every party. Bertie was it, Hostesses listed him as desirable and the girls didn't object to him by any means. And his name! you haven't heard all of it, let me see: oh yes, here goes, Bertie Fitzwater Canterbury Van Bibber, the genial old soul himself. Well: to the plot of this thing: it seems that after Mrs. Cathaway's tea: and a sojourn at Page and Shawsg and after old Bertie was anchored to her arm, this young lady was strolling up Huntington Avenue and the next moment was tearing for shelter from a few drops of rain to the Art Museum. As soon as Bertie had ad- justed himself to the situation: that is, changed his foolish expression to one even worse. they de- cided to ,look around a bit. After a minute the numerous halls got the better of the two and they were separated. Bertie going down into the Egyptian Room where he became absolutely dead to the world in gazing at the mummies only slightly more dead than he. As for Cecila--prints, wa- ter-colors, sculptures, oils, charcoal portraits and the usual museum pieces were too much for her. Arriving at the collection of old masters at the end of the second floor, she sat down on one of the benches and looked around. Satisfied that there was no one looking she decided that it would be useless to cry. So on until five o'clock and closing time. And then, and only then, a friendly guard united the two and allowed them to depart, Bertie draped on her arm, in Kas he called itj utter exhaustion. Cecila remarked a few days later that she had never been inside the museum and Bertie, well, just another blank sheet. Not very dumb, eh? WILLIAM L. VALLEE. THE WINNING PLAY Harold Evans was unhappy. The cause for said unhappiness lay in the fact that he was forced by circumstance to recline in a steamer chair with his right ankle bandaged till it looked like a joint in a furnace pipe, while through his window he could see the Stanton hockey team practise on the neighboring pond. His team, of which he was captain! It was a Friday and in one short week they would play Jarvis High School for the championship-and he must be an onlooker at best. Truly it was maddening. That very morn- ing he had asked the Doctor if had had a chance of recovering sufficiently to take part in the game and Doctor Harris had replied, Certainly not. You will be able to walk about the house by Wed- nesday but-no more hockey this winter. Hal's pleas were futile and the parting words of the Doctor kept ringing in his ears all that afternoon. Remember, no more hockey this winter. Down on the pond, the team was resting after an afternoon of frantic practise. The boys were standing about leaning on their hockey sticks in various attitudes of discouragement. Seems as if we can't do anything since Hal dropped out, said Paul D-itson. And this ice is so soft we can't play a fast game anyway-and every one knows our one advantage over Jarvis is our speed. Ice! You don't call this ice, do you? It's mush! It was Don Roberts speaking and he voiced a dismal truth. The ice was softening up. The sharp blades of the hockey sticks cut through it sending up little showers of water and sprays of Haked white. Occasionally a player tripped, even falling, and Hal in his window watching them sprawl and dive, groaned, Hockeyl Looks to me like they were learning to swim. A pair of water wings might help out some. The surface of the pond might be soft but it was not soft enough to make an agreeable landing place and it was a bruised and sodden bunch of It is usually uphill work that lands one at the top. I4 The Blue E-r White players who waved at Hal as they passed his house on their way home. All that next week Hal watched the practise anxiously. Two things were against Stanton. First the ice was so soft that the fast team could not use its speed to any advantage and it also raised havoc with their brilliant style of playing. On bad ice the best of teams cannot help making mistakes. Secondly, the loss of their captain had the effect of disorganizing the team. Hal was their best man and they all depended on him for leadership. Thursday afternoon, Hal ventured down to the pond to watch proceedings. He was hailed with shouts of welcome and news of the coming game. After watching them play for a while he turned back to the house already feeling defeat upon him. The puck skidded through water and the sticks were more like oars than what they were originally intended to be. Certainly it was not an encour- aging outlook. Friday, the sun shone down impartially on the blue of Stanton and the crimson of Jarvis. Both schools were loyally represented and the colorful uniforms of the players, the gala attire, the flut- tering banners and pennants of the partisans, made a never-to-be-forgotten picture. The referee dropped the puck between the sticks of the two players facing off. As it struck, the whistle blew and the cheering was deafening. Once more the old rivals were engaged in an historic encounter. Hal, standing on the sidelines beside Coach Frazier, anxiously watched the game. It seemed unthinkable that he should stand passively by and watch his team go down to defeat without mak- ing an effort to save it. The championship game, too. The end of the first fifteen-minute period came with the score a blank. The Stanton boys seemed to have lost their punch. Their reputation here- tofore had rested on their lightning-like speed. But today the ice was against themg it played queer tricks with the puck, taking it away from their sticks. And always on them, wherever they went, was a Jarvis man. But if they could not score for themselves, they at least kept Jarvis from doing so till the middle of the second period. Then they caged a goal. The period ended with Jarvis one point in the lead and fifteen minutes to go. Hal could stand it no longer. Pull that man out and give me a chance, he said to Coach Fraz- ier while strapping on his skates. I'l1 be all right 3 that ankle is as good as new. Go ahead, call him out. Frazier was only too glad to do so. At the beginning of the last period a deafening roar rose from the Stanton lines as they saw Hal race down the court carrying the puck before him, darting swiftly with it to the right or left, evading all opposing players, now halting for an instant, to finally send it flying over the ice and cage two goals in quick succession. That was enough to win but just before the pistol sounded ahthird was driven in. It was some time before one could make anything recognizable out of the din that followed. Hats, pennants, everything movable was in the air and the sounds were nothing that belonged to civilization. That night the old banquet hall echoed to the Stanton call of victory. It was taken up and hurled in acclaim upon the air. But most thrilling of all was: Evans, fellows! The long school yell for Hal! Make it big! And big it came with all the enthusiasm of four hundred loyal students paying homage to Hal. Ala-Rah! Ala-Rah! Ala-Rah! Rah! Rah! S-T-A-N-T-O-N! Evans! Evans! Evans! TIIELBIA WHALEN, '26. AS YOU TAKE IT It was a very hot Freiday morning in Septem- ber. The realization that school would begin the next week dawned upon me in the awful gloom of an impending tragedy. I grew uneasy and to relieve my mind I thought a walk out into the country would be beneficial. Howe long will you be gone? my mother asked, as I went out the door. Oh, I will be back before Knight, I answered, reassuringly. Vision sees through thingsj grit sees them through. Westbrook High School l'1 S3,fl I5 Be careful and not fall into any Poolefsj of water, she warned, you know it has been rather Reny lately. Lord, don't worry about me, I very seldom Tripp, I said Laflinly as I ran quickly down the path. It was a beautiful Day. The fleecy and Cot- tonfyj clouds floated around in the azure sky, and high in the air some Hawkes were gracefully circling around. It was a Whalen good day for a walk. I am a moderately fast Walker, so by noon I had covered a fair distance and found myself far out in the country. I had taken the state road for a path and you know how the macadam Burns your feet on a hot day. It had been rather ex- hausting climbing over the Hills and out of the Vallees, so I thought it would be restful to lie down on the grass at the side of the road. F ar down the road I saw a truck and some men who were filling holes in the road with a tarred preparation. After a while, when they had worked up towards me, I perceived that they were foreigners of some variety. Suddenly, I saw one of the men gesticulate vio- lently, waving his arms around, and shout: Makowski labreque boissoneau grigwer! I jumped up and ran down to see what was the matter, but one of the other workmen said that he was only singing Yes Sir, She's My Baby in Russian, and that I had no reason to be alarmed. At that, I considered that it was time for me to return home. I took a short cut through some woods and met a Woodman sitting on a stump singing a Ballafrjd. Strange pastime, I thought. On coming out into the state road again I en- tertained hopes of being given a ride home in some automobile. Soon my wish was granted, for Mr. Philbrook drove up in his new Jordan and I was safely taken home. It might add interest to the story to say that he only ran into one load of Hay, a Mason, a little girl's Dollfejy and three Chicks. G. W. F., '26. A CLASSROOM CLASSIC A PLAY IN ONE ACT By GEORGE W. FREIDAY, JR. Scene: A Classroom. Time: Gth period. Curtain rises CA sharp bell is heard and the class assembles. Whisperings and mild disorder are heard. Some laggard rushes violently into the room slamming the door behind him. General discussion among the students. The door is suddenly opened by the teacher, who evidently has been delayed in the corridors. She closes the door gently.J Teacher fsurveying the class angrilyj : Who closed that door with such a bang ?

I A girl in the back seat giggles. She also goes callingj Teacher: If there is any more of this fool- ishness we will have a little noon-hour session. I am still waiting to hear from the one who banged that door. C Meaning glances are exchanged among the students. One boy whispers to the person seated across from him, You watch her keep me this noon. j Teacher: Miss VVinslow, are you chewing gum ? , Miss Winslow: Yes'm. Teacher: How many times have I told you people that I do not tolerate gum-chewing in my classes. Now Miss Winslow, you report at once to the office and until you promise me you will chew no more gum I will give you no rank.

Curtain THE SACRIFICE Every heart was gay and free on board the ship. The water seemed to be a glassy sea. Not a rest- less wave moved. The passengers were enjoying themselves on deck-some reading, others talk- ing and still others were sleeping. The vessel had left England for America and this was the second day out. Most of the pas- sengers were voyaging for pleasure and a few were sailing on business. The steamer was effi- ciently constructed, thus making the traveling comparatively safe. For two days joy and mirth reigned supreme on the vessel. The sun sank into the west in an ominous dark cloud. The sea was becoming turbulent as the early twilight came on. The captain and the offi- cers appeared anxious as though something evil were brooding in the air. Dinner was served aboard the vessel and the large saloon was cleared for dancing. The pas- sengers gathered in groups and the music began. The laughter and amusement increased as the people joined heartily in dancing the evening away. Outside, on deck, things looked different. The sea of glass was gone! In its place giant waves tossing their heads with foam drove swiftly by the vessel. The sky became dark and frightening. One heart on board the ship was heavy. As he sat at his post the wireless operator received many warnings of the storm. Nearly every mes- sage told of the fierceness of the gale. Every soul on board that ship depended upon him. It was he who held the key to their communication with the world. Meanwhile the dancing and the music ceased. The party retired for the night. The storm rap- idly increased until a terrific northeast gale swept upon the ship. The helmsman could scarcely see ahead. The ship groaned in the heavy sea. As the operator sat at his post his thoughts drifted back to former things. just one year ago tonight he lost his only brother in a wreck at sea. What was that? The ship had struck! The alarm sounded. Hurried orders were issued. Men, women and children swarmed upon the deck in their scanty night-clothing. Make two grins grow where there was only a grouch before.-HUBBARD. Westbrook High School I lunnn I The ship has struck a derelict and in thirty minutes will go down, the captain shouted. The life boats were manned and the women and children were placed in them. Everywhere excitement reigned--only one kept steady-the operator. The SOS calls were rapidly sent Out. On deck, the passengers and crew had manned the lifeboats but what chance would they stand in such a sea unless another vessel came to their aid? The ship was fast settling into the waves when a distant whistle was faintly heard. At last a ship was nearing them. Meanwhile the operator continued to send out calls until the floor of the room was covered with water. Up the steps he staggered and then those in the lifeboats heard a terrible explosion and saw a black bulk sink into the sea. That was all. Two weeks later, the passengers who had been rescued by another vessel landed safely in Amer- ica and on the same day the lifeless body of a man with the ear attachments of a wireless set was found on the shore of Ireland. He died, a martyr, that other souls might live. HOWARD COTTON, '26, TO OUR TEACHERS Dear teachers here at Westbrook High We love you one and all, And we hope that nothing but good luck Will ever on you call. You've guided us through our school years, You've helped us every day, You've taught us of the ways of life, How could we go astray? In after years though far away Our thoughts will often yearn For our school days here at Westbrook High, Which will ne'er to us return. Mnkcanm' L. Tr-rconn, 19:26. THE TRIALS OF A STUDENT When I was but a Freshman The only thing in store Was to study just my darndest And be a Sophomore. When I in glory had attained The honor of that name Soft jobs usually end i I7 I had no rest at all until A junior I became. But now that I'm a junior I'm most sad enough to die, Because I've only one more year At dear old Westbrook High. ELIZABETH SHAW, '27. CRAMMING Cramming, cramming hopelessly, Yet I know no more. Guess I'll let the darn things go And be as dumb as e'er before. I say, not long ago in class I knew my lesson well, But someone else got all the praise, And I can never tell , How hopelessly at wrath was I And the time I had indeed, , Was enough to make a preacher mad And till his soul with greed. Now say, if cramming does not help And cheating does not harm, I'm going to be a mid-way champ just filled with magic charm. E. C. Shaw, '27, LIFE AT WESTBROOK HIGH Oh joyous days of sunshine, How swiftly they pass by, The happiest days of all my life Are here at Westbrook High. In classroom or in study hall, The excitement of a game, A victor or a loser, My spirit is the same. I wonder if in years to come, When I am old and grey, I'll look back on my school days With the joy I feel today. Through working days, Through troubles grave, When sorrow dlms the eye, I'1l open up in memory's page A dream of Westbrook High. EL1zAn1-:rn C. S1-nw, '27.

THELMA WHALEN, '26. WHEN KREISLER PLAYED The music fioated from the vibrant strings As he lifted his bow and played. I listened with joy to the lovely tones That the fingers of Kreisler made. The sweet notes fiew fast from his flying bowg The Caprice Viennois charmed all. The violin nodded with rhythmic motion, A hushed silence filled the hall. A vision rose to my enchanted mind, The vision of a glorious dream, But it soon grew dim and faded away. He had finished the sparkling theme. GEORGE FREIDAY, JR., '26. A VIOLET A dainty little violet Grew beside a mossy stone, Near to a shady woodland path, In a kingdom all its own. The bright sun gave its warmth to it, The old oak gave its shade, And in the branches overhead The birds sweet music made. The west wind cooled the heated air, And at evening came the dew, And refreshed the little violet To begin each day anew. Not far away was the city With its bustle and unrest. But the little violet lived its life Close to Nature's breast. MARGARET L. Tncomz, A SUMMER DAY Only a point of weathered rock, A sandy beach below, With rows of white crowned breakers That swiftly come and go. A flock of sea gulls overhead, White clouds that lightly float, Against the blue of a summer sky, Is the sail of a passing boat. Little sandpeeps on the beach Dart quickly to and fro, Gathering food at the water's edge Where the lines of white foam show. Waving pine boughs overhead, A hammock beneath the trees, A wonderful place for day dreams, On summer days like these. What care we for the busy world With its hurrying to and fro- As we build anew our castles That we planned so long ago. '2 MARGARET L. Trrcomn, '26 THE SEA GULLS Oh gulls with the strong swift pinions That over the ocean glide, Watching for little fishes, That follow the coming tide, Do you never weary Of your life o'er, the rolling deep? Do you never wish for inland nooks As the watch o'er your nest you keep? When fierce storms rage And strong winds blow Do you long for some sheltered shore Where wild winds cannot reach you No matter how they roar? As he thinketh in his heart, so is he.-NEW TESTAMENT. Westbrook High School In Wg! But no! the God who made you Implanted in your breast This love for the rolling billows, A rock crevice for a nest. A spirit he has given you Wild and fierce and strong, With plenty of courage and power To weather the mighty storm 5 And when the north wind whistles, And storms sweep sea and land God keeps you safe, His children, In the hollow of His hand. MARGARET L. Trrcomn, ' 26. THE CHILD OF THE WILLOW BROOK The child of the brook is a merry sprite, And she sings as she goes her way, Now floating in quiet shady nooks, Now dancing high in the spray. She laughs with the swaying branches, She sings like a happy bird, As she lifts her head to the sunshine, A sweet little song is heard. She plays with the little raindrops, The breezes blow her hair, And in all the world of the fairies None other is seen so fair. MARGARET L. TITCOMB THE CALL I was floating down the river In a little birch canoe, The sky was bright above me The water sparkling blue. When suddenly I heard in the distance The call of a bird to her mate, I should have hurried back to camp .'2 And then, as if in answer, A sad cry through the night, The little bird called but once again Then straightway made her Right. I tumed my birch bark toward shore And followed through the gloom And soon I fell upon them both In a field where blue grasses bloom. The dainty little blue bird Was sore afraid of me, But loath to leave her loved one, She sat there fearfully. The mate had been caught in a briar Just beneath a large fir tree, But swiftly I loosed its feathers And away he flew when free. As I hurried back through the forest I heard a faint melody, This time singing with deep pathos A message solely for me. ELIZABETH C. SHAW 27 TIME Ol Time! Time! Timel I would to call thee back. But on you fly And still I sigh To call thee back. O! Timel Time! Timel Thy minutes swiftly speed. I work and strain And try in vain To check thy speed. Ol Timel Time!

V 1. 5 LN D A. g r 1,31 THE STORY OF THE CALCULATING MACHINE Historians tell us that man was able to count long before he was able to write. Of course, he could not count very far, but it was enough for his needs at that time. He had no money and very few possessions of any kind, so that he did not have much occasion to use arithmetic. Man first began to count by using the fingers, and as he had ten fingers and thumbs, he learned to count in tens. The Babylonians invented the first adding ma- chine, a pebble board, which was a ruled sur- face on which pebbles were shifted about to repre- sent different values. The next adding and calculating machine used was the abacus, which was an arrangement of movable beads which slip along fixed rods, indi- cating ,by their arrangement some dennite numer- ical quantity. Addition, subtraction, multiplica- tion, division, and even square and cube root can be performed on this machine, and in the hands of a skilled operator, considerable speed can be obtained. The first calculating machine made with dials, was invented by Blaise Pascal, in 1641. It was early in the seventeenth century that Napier invented the first actual mechanical means of calculating. He arranged strips of bone, on which were figures, so that they could be brought into various fixed combinations. It was the be- ginning of the slide rule, which has been found an invaluable aid to accountants and engineers. The first machine to perform multiplication by means of successive additions was invented by Leibnitz in 1671 and completed in 169-l. This model did not act efficiently, as the gears were not cut with sufficient accuracy. The first satisfactory calculating machine of this nature was that of C. X. Thomas, which was brought out about 1820. The Thomas type of machine, which is commonly known as the beveled gear type, is still in use today in modern business. One trouble with all these contrivances was that, although they aided man to figure, they of- fered no means of making a record of the work. In 1822, Charles Babbage commenced to con- struct an automatic calculating machine, which he called a difference engine. It was intended to perform the most extended calculations required in astronomy and navigation, and to stamp a rec- ord of its work into plates of copper or other ma- terial. This project was unfortunately aban- doned, owing to some misunderstanding with the government. After Babbage, there was much experimenting done by inventors to produce a real adding and listing machine. As far as we know, the first patent in this coun- try issued by the patent office for a calculating machine was to O. L. Castle of Alton, Illinois, in 1850. It was for a ten-key adding machine which did not print and only added in one column. Frank S. Baldwin was granted a patent in 187-1 for a small hand adding machine and in 1875 re- ceived a patent for a calculating machine which was entirely on original lines. There is no essential difference between the machines they are turning out today and Mr. Baldwin's original machine. In 1883, William S. Burroughs began making plans for an adding machine and in 1884 he took his plans to St. Louis and took up his work in the machine shop conducted by Joseph Boyer. The first fifty machines manufactured by Bur- roughs were not a success, and after making Crt fired by 0Hfh'll.Tfl1S1l1 and not by the boss. Westbrook High School i i 1 31 many more improvements and manufacturing the first hundred machines that were really market- able, he threw these first fifty machines out of the window so that they would not remind him of his early failure. The first machines were called Registering Accountants, and Arithmometers. The need for an all-round office assistant that could multiply, divide, and subtract, as easily as it could add, was an idea nourished in the mind and thought of a young student of the University of Michigan. In 1911, Mr. Monroe met Mr. Baldwin and realized the possibilities of Mr. Baldwin's idea. Together they set about designing the machine to make it as nearly perfect as possible in adaptation to the needs of modern business. They produced a machine in which the best of European features are said to be combined with the operating ease and simplicity of American- made machines. Provision is made for the cor- rection of errors. and operation is in two direc- tions, forward for addition and multiplication, and backward for subtraction and division. One of the latest developments of the adding machine is a type that will post ledgers and state- ments. This machine is said to be the final step in relieving bookkeeping of its drudgery. The largest adding machine ever made was produced in 1915 and has a capacity of forty col- umns or within one unit of ten duodecillions. This machine takes the place of from ten to a dozen smaller machines. Adding machines are made that figure in Eng- lish pence, shillings and poundsg in japanese yen, and in the monetary system of most civilized countries. They will change inches into feet, pounds into bushels, and do other stunts that would make the average schoolboy envious when it comes to arithmetic. The most complicated problems of multiplica- tion, division and fractions may be handled with ease on these machines. They have taken a great part in the day's work of modern business, and it would be hard to imagine how the world's fi- nance and industry could be handled without them. Adding and calculating machines have be- come almost as necessary in modern business as the telephone and the typewriter. Adding machines may be found at work in all kinds of business places, from corner groceries to department stores and manufacturing plants. Many of the world's largest financial institu- tions do the burden of their figure work on adding machines made in the United States.

H. S. has about the same number this year as in past years. As this issue of the BLUE AND WHiTE goes to print there are sixty-one pupils enrolled in the course. A student who does not have the means of furthering his education by going to advanced schools to study. may take high school shop courses which will enable himlto obtain a good paying job ahead of a man who has had no train- ing in shop work. Much stress is given Mathematics and English in the Industrial Course through the four years of schooling. For Mathematics, a student is compelled to take Algebra the first year. Arith- metic the second year, Advanced Algebra the third, and Science the fourth year. Science is a study which deals with the different problems in gearing, indexing, horse power and so forth. which arise in the machine shop. The first year of the course is given to sheet metal and forging work under the direction of Mr. Lord. This comes two periods a week. The second year is the beginning of the machine shop course. This also is under the direction of Mr. Lord. The students are taught the fundamentals of all machine work and they make the simple things, such as screw blanks, left and right hand threads, cones. etc. The third year sees the most of a student's time put in the Industrial Building. Two afternoons of machine shop and one of pat- tern making comes this year. The juniors are taught to make the more advanced articles. such as vises and arbors and how to cut teeth on a gear. They put in an equivalent of 740 minutes a week in the building. The Seniors have had three years of training and by this time they are well advanced in the understanding of the machinery and its different parts. They are taught to make vises, jacks, and to do work for the school and the de- partment. The Seniors put in 780 minutes by going sixty minutes each morning and two after- noons a week. Up to the present time this year, the students of the third and fourth years in this course have made such things as vises, jacks, and many other smaller things which in themselves are very handy tools to have around the house. There are two different types of vises made, one that is of a stationary kind with a ilk set of jaws. This costs the boys only 32.25 while if a person should go to a hardware store it would cost nearly 312. The other is a 5 steel-jawed swivel vise which costs 5154.75 and sells in the stores for 3524. Many of the students have been working on six wood-bed lathes 12 x55 which are to be used in the Pattern Making Shop on account of the need of them in making patterns. The patterns for these lathes have been made by that class and have been sent to the Jordon Foundry and cast and have been returned to the shop. The Sen- iors will have fmished them before the end of the year. An emery-grinder and stand has been finished by the students and this is to be put in the Man- ual Training rooms for sharpening tools and grinding. It is said that the Industrial Department of W. H. S. is one of the best equipped for a school of its size in the State of Maine and there are very few people who realize this. This is something of which the school should be proud. The work of the course is carried out under the direction of Mr. Alden who, altho he has been head of the Department for but two years, has made a line impression by his ability in this line, Fmt' things are impossible to diligence and skill.-JOHNSON.

All the drawing of the machinery and patterns are drawn in the Mechanical Drawing rooms and blue printed. We are also very fortunate to have a man who understands machinery and work in the machine shop as well as Mr. Lord does. Very much is accomplished under his direction and by following his instructions a student will have no fear in his examinations for a position after he graduates. It is hoped that by next year a sanding machine, which is a very handy thing for a pattern shop, will be installed so that a student will not have to put so much extra time sandpapering his work when he may do it in a very short time on this machine. WILLIAM W1LsoN, '26, PATTERN SHOP In addition to the usual series of Pattern Shop constructions, several others have been constructed during this year's course. The most important of these are the patterns of various parts for a 12- The Blue Er VVhite inch Speed Lathe, six of which will be machined and assembled in the Machine Shop Department and then put into use in the Pattern Shop. As the lathe is one of the machines most used by a pattern maker, the Pattern Shop has hereto- fore been seriously handicapped since there has been only one Speed Lathe in this Department. The new lathes will be an important addition to the Pattern Shop. Patterns are also being made for a gear-cover which will be used on the small lathes in the Ma- chine Shop, and for an emery wheel guard to be used on both Pattern and Machine Shop emery wheels. Patterns will soon be started for a small table-saw which will be used in the Pattern Shop. The construction of all these patterns includes the making of the core-box fwhere neededl as well as the pattern proper. One afternoon this year was devoted entirely to going to the foundry and' watching the making of the molds and pouring of the iron. This fur- nished a very interesting, as well as instructive, afternoon. R.xLI'II O.

Musical training in W. H. S. can be separated into two distinct divisions, Orchestra and Chorus. The Orchestra has a large number and variety of instruments and has devoted much of the time to the reading of the classical compositions and of the lighter work of marches and modern selec- tions. The enrollment of the Orchestra is as follows: V1oL1Ns Doris Allan Norwood McDonald Dorothy Emery Beatrice Reny George Freiday, Jr. Olive Smith William Fairservice Sylvia Robinson Fabian Dandaneau Ethelyn Percivalffadltyl CE1,Los Arlene Merrick Evelyn Randall SAx.xPr1oNE Kenneth Morse CORNETS Harold West Hans Andersen CLARINET William Wilson BARITONE Benjamin Pugh PIANO Elsie Goodwin DRUMs John Gerry The Orchestra has furnished music for sev- eral of the school activities, including the Prize Speaking Contest and the high school play. The Orchestra also plans to give a program in the spring as has been done in the past. As a sub-division of the Orchestra, Miss Stev- enson has organized a Trio composed of : Violin--Norwood MacDonald Cello-Evelyn Randall Piano-Elsie Goodwin The Trio has appeared at various social events throughout the city and has met with much pop- ular favor. The chorus is exceptionally large this year, counting one hundred and twenty-five students among its members. The work of the chorus has been devoted to the reading of diiferent types of choral music and gaining acquaintance with the famous vocal music of the world. As a sub-division of the chorus a Girls' Glee Club has been formed. The officers of the Glee Club are as follows: President-Margaret Titcomb. Vice-President-Winnifred Plummer. Treasurer-Dorothy King. Secretary--Elizabeth Shaw. The Glee Club has appeared at several occa- sions. On May 29, 1925, the Orchestra and Chorus combined and presented the following program of American Indian music.

'Isl ' ' Q UN GRAND SACRIFICE Pourquoi ne vous dirais-je pas mon conte? C'est a cause de mon fils que je suis ici- L'enfant Espion is one of the most interest- ing and artistic of Daudet's fascinating short sto- ries. The following narrative was prepared as a sequel to that story in the Junior French division of Miss Elizabeth Whittier. To obtain full ap- preciation of the following a short review of the original L'enfant Espion might be advisable. Little Stenne was an urchin of the streets of Paris during the siege of that city by the Germans in 1870. There was no school and he had a fine time running about and getting into mischief with his other boisterous friends. Especially was he attracted and greatly interested in a game called galoche which the soldiers played. But it re- quired money, real money, to play galoche and little Stenne had no money. His passionate de- sire for money to play the game led him to take papers secretly to the German soldiers, a traitorous act. After he had earned a few crowns, his con- science was tortured to such an extent that he was compelled to confess his act to his father, who was deeply grieved to know that his son had been a traitor. The interesting outcome of this confes- sion is continued in the following: Les mobiles sortirent de la ville rapidement jusqu'aux dernieres postes de France. La le captaine ordonna un halte pendant que des eclaireurs s'avancerent pour reconnaitre. Les hommes se coucherent dans la niege. ll faisait tres froide et ils n'avaient ni feux ni tabac. Pauvre vieux pere Stenne trembla et soupit. Un jeune soldat l'entendant dit avec bonte. Camarade, vous etes vieux de marcher dans ce temps. Vous n'etes pas de ce regiment. Pour- quoi etes vous ici P Le vieux se gena alors dit: Et votre Iils, mon vieux, est-il de ce regiment, ou est-il mort ? Pas mort, mon ami, mais plus mauvais, bien plus mauvais. Ecoutez et je vous dis l Mon garcon est seul. Il n'a pas une mere. Et tout le jour je garde le quartier du Temple. Depuis le siege il n y a plus d' ecole, et ces miserables gamins qui jouent au galoche, ils l'ont seduit. Il ne veut pas etre un espion. Il est un patriote. Il a voulu d'argent pour jouer au ga- loche. Il a vendu des journeaux aux Prussiens, et il a ramene chez lui l'argent mais il n'a parle pas. Il ne leur a dit pas de cette attaque. Mon garcon ne mentirait pas 21 son pere. Il m'a dit tout. Il a le creve-coeur. Il retournerait l'argent si c'etait grand, mais je l'ai ici, les miserables ecus allemands. Je vais les rendre et tuer beau- coup de Prussiens, pour Vhonneour de notre famille. Puis mon garcon et moi, nous serons content encore. Il cessa de parler et il y avait silence entre les soldats se couchant dans la niege. Puis du noir vint une balle d'un espion allemand. La balle trouva pere Stenne et 1' honneur etait satisfaite.

Ainsi, par raison de ses voyages nombreux de l'atelier de l'artiste au musee et du musee a l'atelier, la peinture savait sa route si bien que si l'on l'avait mis sur les roues elle aurait pu trouver sa route at seule. Marcel, qui l'avait repeindu dix fois et avait change le canevas de cime au fond, attribua l'ostracism annuel de la peinture at la haine per- sonnel des juges. Pour longtemps, cependant, Marcel n'etait pas discourage par sa rejection invariable. Tous les ans Marcel envoyait sa peinture aux juges ayant modifie un detail ou deux et change le nom de la peinture. Ainsi, une fois elle vint devant les juges sous le nom de la Passage du Rubicon mais Pharaoh deguise maladroitement par le manteau de Cesar, etait reconnu et rejete avec tout propre respect. L'anee prochain Marcel jetta une couverture blanche au-dessus le devant de son canevas, planta un sapin dans un coin et vetant un Egyptian dans l'uniforme d'un grenadier du Defense Imperiel baptisa la peinture Passage du Beresinaf' mais les juges reconnut la peinture immediatement par un parti-coloue cheval qui pavanait sur le cime d'une vague de la mer Rouge, et la peinture etait rejette encore une fois. Ca n'importe pas, disait Marcel. j ai en- core l'esperance. L'annee prochaine, je l'en- voyerai encore et l'appellerai Passage des Panoramas. Plusiers jours apres, un juif, Solomon, paya Marcel une visite. Pere Solomon trafiqua dans tous les sortes du bric-a-brac. Il acheta beaucoup de choses et sut ou de les vendre d'avantage. Monsieur Marcel, disait le Juif, Je suis venu vous faire votre fortune, ou, en autres mots, vous olfrir une opportunite d'entrer le monde artistique. En bref je veux d'acheter votre Passage de la Mer Rouge. Payer tout suit P demanda Marcel. Payer tout suit, reponda Solomon. Le contrat etait conclu it cent cinquante francs, et un diner par-dessus le marche. Une semaine apres, Marcel decouvrit la galerie que sa peinture decorait. Traversant le Faubourg Saint-Honore, il s'arreta au milieu d'une foule qui semblait de regarder curieusment une enseigne au dessus d'une magasin. Cette enseigne etait rein de moins que la peinture de Marcel mais la Pas- sage de la Mer Rouge avait endure encore une autre modification, un bateau a vapeur avait ete ajoute et c'etait nomme Dans le Porte de Mar- seillesf' T.

Mr. Sterling organized the class this Fall, with a suggested membershipiof live. However, the idea took, or rather the outlook of this class was so fine that forty-five eager, art-inspired students rushed in to drink in all the art they could hold. The class has accomplished so much since its start that it would be impossible to set out at length its various completed projects 3 so, briefly, this is the work of one of the most popular de- partments in school. As a study of pose, ten-minute sketches of members of the class proved effective. Charcoal, a hard medium, was used in drawings of the Winged Victory. Sculpturing in soap seemed to strike the fancy of the class and many soap ducks and dogs resulted. House planning came near inducing several to become architects and indeed the work of several in this line warranted this choice. Mr. Sterling has frequently touched on interior decorating, encouraging a study of each pupil's home with an eye towards beautify- ing. Color study, a necessary thing in the study of Art, was not disregarded, altho this occupies the same position in Art that rules, tenses, etc., hold in languages. After a request from the Par- ent-Teacher Association, posters were made and placed in the local stores. Miss Carolyn Emery and Lew-is Freiday won first and second prizes. respectively. Lettering, a painstaking thing, was nicely with book-making, another useful subject. As a climax to all of this, a small group of serious members have launched into oil-painting with creditable results to any select art school. The subjects are variously chosen and are a reflection of many principles instilled into the class by Mr. Sterling. Mr. Sterling's method is simple and direct. After clear and explicit sketches, he lectures on the subjects, emphasizing the points to be ob- served. Then, after the class is underway he ex- amines the work of each student, making criti- cisms and thereby giving the utmost in individual instruction. The work often runs into late after- noon, betraying the interest in this cultural sub- ject. Special recommendation is given the work of Fabian Dandaneau, Frances Richardson, Henry Teague, Hazel Stanley, George Freiday, jr., Carolyn Emery and William Valleeg these being top-notchers and very possible artists of to- morrow. As a fitting end of the course, Mr. Sterling in- tends an exhibition and pantomime. This affair is to be conducted wholly by the embryo artists, giving full range of the talent displayed. The pantomime furnishes interesting scope for the entire range of subjects and the colorful costumes and poses, promise great things. It is hoped that this course will become a reg- ular feature at Westbrook High and certainly the assuring start promises continued interest and even greater results. WILLIAM L. VALIJEI-3.

Westbrook High School Ef B2I 'll SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On that memorable date, September 18, 1922, our noble class entered the doors of this noble institution. As it is the pleasure of every Freshman class to be given a grand Q Pj reception by the respected Seniors, we were not deprived of this event. Although we numbered 105 at the beginning of our Freshman year, when we entered as Soph- omores our number had decreased to 81. This decreased our spirits and we held all the dignity expected of Sophomores, entering into the athletic and social activities of the school with no small amount of interest and action. From green-eyed Freshies to elevated jun- iors we rose to fame, and in our Junior year we burst forth in all our glory, outnumbering the other classes in the cast for the Assembly Play.

About a week later we were ushered to the main room for our first assembly and was told to stand up while our fellow schoolmates sang Wake, Freshmen, Wake. Another week passed and then the reception was held at the Armory, where we received some more torture Raymond Sullivan. which Freshmen always expect. In the month of September, 1924, we entered high school as dignified Sophomores and sailed through that year very quietly. Our Junior class has a total of G0 students, many of them participating in sports, including, Elouise Girard, Dorothy and Marjorie King, Jean Macdonald, Arlene Merrick, Mildred Mushreau, Pauline Sutermeister, Hormidas Aube, Roland Chamard, William Chandler, John Gerry, and Raymond Sullivan.

I Roissonneau, Alphonse Hurd, Charles Westbrook High School are extremely proud, especially upon finding that we are even now as large as the Freshman class. We are a class of unusual talents. The most prominent fields of labor and talent are displayed by our scholars,-musicians, athletes, artists, and doctors. The talent along dramatic lines has been displayed by William Vallee and Dorothy Blair, who successfully played two of the most prom- inent parts in the assembly play last year. At the beginning of this year a class meeting was called by our former president for the pur- pose of electing the following ofiicers: President-Henry Hey. Vice-President-Dorothy Tuttle. Secretary and Treasurer-Doris Baker. Letters have been won by John Hay and Victor Walker in football this year. Linwood Lagerson represented our class in the Prize Speaking Contest as he did last year. This year he won first prize. We are hoping that our array of stars will re- main loyally with us. for if they do we are des- tined to graduate the largest class in the history of Westbrook High School.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY The first day of high school life for the class of 1929 was September 14, 1925. The day dawned bright and fair and at about eleven-twenty o'clock. one hundred and ten weary pilgrims were wonder- ing what they might have to contend with inside Think noi that thy word and thine alone must be right.-SOPHOCLES. President-Cecil Hawkes. 46 The Blue Er White that formidable looking brick building which loomed up before them. But their fears were dispelled later when they found nothing of a harmful nature confronted them. They were simply given to understand they were not there for business. The usual preliminaries of an en- tering class were carried out. At an early date a Class Meeting was held when the following officers were elected: Vice-President-Eva Johnson. Secretary-Grace McFarland. Treasurer-Edwin Richardson. On Friday evening, October 21, 1925, the Freshman Reception took place at Cumberland Hall, this being the first time for years. in the his- tory of Westbrook High School, it had ever taken place there. Very little hazing was done by the upper classmen. What little there was of it was carried on secretly. The Freshman class march was the first number on the program in which all Freshmen were obliged to take part. This was followed by the Freshman dance. As some in the class had never acquired the art of dancing it was not a great success. Following this the class was presented to the members of the faculty and schoolboard, who made up the receiving line. Dancing furnished the evening's entertainment, in which every one joined who cared to. The sport season has been an eventful one. Freshmen .going out for the team in Football were: Roma, Violette, A. Gerry, Crawford, T. Douglass, Brawn and Barbour. The basketball summons was answered by two Freshmen, Roma and Violette. Although they did not make the regular team they were of much use in practicing and showed the kind of spirit necessary for good sportsmen. When another season rolls around, some of them are liable to be heard from. For the first quarter of the school year Fresh- men obtaining four A's were: Virginia Batchelder, Catherine Brann, Muriel Crowell, Grace McFar- land, Mary Peabody and Dorothy Staples. The Freshman class was credited with six of the twenty-six honor pupils in the whole school. Slight not whafs near through x Many others failed of this honor only by a small margin. All Freshmen who entered were qualified to re- main, but at this writing the class numbers ninety- B five. Fifteen have left school, some leaving to go to work and others to go to other schools. A large majority of the members procured class pins as has been the custom of former classes. The following is a list of Freshmen for the school year of 1925-26.

Opening the season with an easy 14-2 victory over Edward Little High School of Auburn, Westbrook continued their winning efforts into the Telegram League schedule, winning seven consecutive games before dropping a heart-break- ing 2-1 contest to South Portland. This was the only defeat suffered in the League schedule, the climax being capped by double victories over Catholic High School, Westbrook's strongest rival. A post season game was arranged with an All- Star schoolboy team, which was won by West- brook 4-1, before the largest gathering of fans ever assembled at Warren League Park. The championship cup was presented to Cap- tain Stanford, representing the team at this time. and admirers of Gene Hebert, pitching ace, took this opportunity to present him an ultra-line writ- ing set. A sizable check was presented to Coach Flinn in the nature of a farewell testimonial from the entire city. Coach Flinn has completed a most successful three-year term as Athletic Coach at the school, winning championships in football, base- ball, and basketball, and meriting the commenda- tion received by all interested, for the brand of sportsmanship displayed at all times. The Westbrook batteries proved stumbling blocks for all teams, Hebert and Flinn, ably assisted by Chamard, proving too strong for their rivals. The veterans, McClellan, Charles Can- mxgonxk ning, and Captain Stanford, with the developed star King, comprised an infield much faster than the usual schoolboy quartet. Cliff. Canning, Hawkes, Flinn, and Reece provided an outfield that coupled defensive strength with a tremendous offensive, Hawkes particularly starring as a bat- ter throughout the season. The transfer of Hormidas Aube, from Catholic High School, improves the prospects for another victorious nine, although Coach Young faces a line-up riddled by graduation, only Captain Chas. Canning, Chamard, Cliff. Canning, King, Reece, and Sullivan, being available in the spring. The schedule and results for the past season of 1925, are as follows: Edward Little High, at Westbrook, 14-2 Biddeford High, at Biddeford, 8-2 Westbrook Seminary, at Westbrook, 0-8 Thornton Academy, at Saco, 7-1 Deering High. at Bayside, 13-2 South Portland High at Westbrook, 7-1 Catholic High, at Westbrook, 4-2 Portland High, at Westbrook, 17-0 Biddeford High, at Westbrook, 7-1 South Portland High, at Fort Preble, 1-2 Deering High, at Westbrook, 3-1 Portland High, at Bayside, 4-1 Catholic High, at Bayside, 14-4 Thornton Academy, at Westbrook, 16-2 Bridgton Academy All-Stars,at Westbrook, 4-1 FOOTBALL Coach Newman H.

From there he came to Westbrook High School. With but few veterans returning to school Coach Young faced that discouraging football problem of creating a team from inexperienced material. He was ably assisted throughout the season by Paul Ginger Fraser, Community Club secretary, himself a coach of tried ability. The schedule called for seven games, of which Westbrook won six, and at the close of the season was considered one of the strongest teams in the state. PoRTr,AND GAME Westbrook opened the season in Portland un- der most discouraging conditions. a two-day rain- fall making the field a sea of mud and working greatly to the disadvantage of Westbrook's lighter and more inexperienced eleven. Portland won the game by sheer poundage, 8-0, which proved to be only reverse of the season for W. H. S. Eiiwxim LITTLE GAME Edward Little proved an easy opponent, West- brook winning I4-IS. The game was featured by the smashing play of fullback Aube, and the accurate passing of Cliff. Canning. These two factors were responsible for both of VVestbrook's touchdowns. Captain Sullivan played his usual effective game offensively and defensively while Reece proved a demon on the defense. BIDDEFORD GAME The Biddeford game was played at Biddeford and again Westbrook won quite easily. The Biddeford line proved unequal to the task of stop- ping the Westbrook backfield, Cliff. Canning re- peatedly going through the line for substantial gains. VVestbrook's first touchdown was by a pass from Chas. Canning to Campbell. The other touchdown was made by Chas. Canning. who in- tercepted a pass and ran 40 yards to the Biddeford goal-line. Biddeford succeeded in scoring via. the air route in the last quarter, the play in the first three-quarters always being in Biddeford territory. The final score was 16-7. Howe and Campbell scintillated in the line. 5 pring 5 ale ofqixtures FROM APRIL 1ST TO JUNE 1ST CALL ABOUT THE REBATE ON OLD FIXTURES H. W.

Bridgton Academy provided the most effective air attack encountered during the season and it was of great credit to Westbrook's defense to successfully cope with this method of attack.

Portland High School, threw the scare of the season into the Westbrook supporters, by holding a 2-0 lead throughout the greater part of the game, aSSiStCfl materially by fumbles or other lucky breaks. The often demonstrated power of the Westbrook team could not be denied however and eventually Aube crossed the line for a touchdown, after a spectactular dash down the field. A shift in the line-up was made necessary in this game by the ab- sence of Cliff. Canning, but the effective work of Coach Young was emphasized by the strength dis- played by the second string man. The most spectacular play of the game occurred when half- back Smart of So. Portland intercepted a for- ward pass, and raced into a clear field with three interferers, his plans being thwarted by the super- human efforts of Charles Canning, Westbrook quarter-back, who overtook the flying quartet. smashed his way through the interference, tackled the runner but four yards from the goal-line, and So. Portland was unable to put the ball across in their four downs. A 63-yard punt by Aube elim- inated any further danger from that source. Wil- mtackle play also featured, but some mention 3 . of ,gg stellar play of Captain Hinds of So.

The second team gave profnise of strength, which augurs well for another successful season in 1920. After the completion of the regular schedule, efforts were made to secure a game with the un- defeated Lewiston High team, but without avail. Hormidas Aube, sensational fullback, was elected captain, unanimously, for the season of 1926. At an assembly held later in the year Roland Charmard was elected manager. The following members of the football squad were awarded letters and represent the regular line-up used throughout the season: 'tl-lowe, Woodman, left end Captain Sullivan, left tackle Hay, left guard Reece, center Walker, right guard Chandler, Wilson, right tackle Charles Canning, quarter-back Clifford Canning, Bancroft, 'Aube, le f t hal f -back right half -back f ull-back All-scholastic school players of Maine. Of these men, Howe, Woodman, Rancroft. Reece, Campbell, Charles Canning and Clifford Canning will be lost to next year's team by graduation. The team was given a banquet at the Columbia Hotel, a few weeks after the closing of the season, and also a theater party at Keith's. This was made possible by the efforts of the Roosters Com- mittee, who secured the necessary money from the citizens. The speakers at the banquet were: Earl K. McFarland, Charles Dudley, Principal James A. Lewis, Coach Newman Young, Capt. Raymond Sullivan, Capt.-elect Hormidas Aube, Dr. George Woodman, and Frederick Joy. A good time was enjoyed by all. The team and also the school wish to extend their thanks to the Roosters Committee and the citizens who made this possible. BASKETBALL Westbrook High School had a very successful basketball season, losing only two games and win- ning ten. The team was one of the eight chosen to go to the llates Tournament, but was unex- pectedly eliminated in the first game, by Portland I ligh. llfcthagibis thc arithmetic of surfers. 1.

The score at the end of the first quarter was 8-4 in favor of the Capers, who were always in the lead the entire game. The Capers only got one basket in the second quarter, but they in turn held Westbrook scoreless, making the score 10-4. Westbrook came back and outscored their rivals in the third quarter 8-7, but were unable to erase their opponent's lead, this being 17-12. Both teams were very tired in the final period and the game was slower than the previous one. South Portland scored four points on two beautiful baskets by Lord and Brown, but Westbrook could not add to their total. Sullivan and Chamard played a stellar game for Westbrook, while Brown and Lord starred for the Caper outfit.

Westbrook resumed their victory chain, after this set-back, completing the season with succes- sive wins over Sanford, Gorham Normal, Deer- ing, Thornton Academy, and Portland High. The last game on Westbrook's schedule was with Portland High at the Arena. This game resulted in a free-for-all at one time and was very rough throughout. However, Westbrook won 21-16. Three baskets in a row by Capt. Fanny Townsend during the waning minutes of the final period proved a big help to earn the victory. The selection committee for the bates Tourna- ment chose Westbrook, Edward Little, Portland, So. Portland, Deering, jordan, Rumford, and Mexico, to compete for championship honors. Portland High was the opponent drawn for West- brook to play first. Many of the Paper City fans were jubilant over having Portland as the first opponent, and it was generally conceded by every- one that this game would result in a Westbrook victory, as Portland had fallen before Westbrook's onslaught a week previously. The unexpected happened, however, and Portland defeated West- brook 21-15. Portland proved to be the dark horse of the tournament and aided largely by the sensational play of their center Giant Conroy, gave them the victory. The game was slow throughout. Townsend was plainly off form and Sullivan had many hard luck shots. Only once during the game was Westbrook in the lead, 3-2, that being in the first quarter. Portland played all their men on Chamard, Sullivan and Town- send, a proceeding which bottled up their offense. Portland was leading at the half-way mark 8-7. In the third quarter, however, Portland elevated their total to eighteen, while all Westbrook could do was to get one basket. Westbrook came back in the last period and scored six points to their opponents' two. The Westbrook team was go- ing strong during the last of the game. and if there had been many more minutes to plav, the result would very likely have read differently. The line-up is as follows: Wssnmoox PoR'rLANn Chamard, lf lf, Hallgren Sullivan, rf rf, Gunn Townsend, c c. Conrov Aube, lg lg, Agger LeBeau, rg rg, Donahue Goals from floor: Westbrook-Chamard 2. Sullivan 1, Townsend 45 Portland-Hallgren 1. Gunn 2, Conroy 7. Goals from fouls: Westbrook-Townsend 13 Port- land-Agfger 1. Every game throughout the season was featured by stellar performances of Capt. Townsend, Sul- livan, and Chamard. Aube proved to be a tower of strength on the defense and was ably assisted by LeBeau, who was forced to fill a mid-season vacancy, caused by the inelegibility of Tommy Cairns, one of the best guards in the state for the past four years. An all-Tourney team was selected by various newspapers and coaches, of which Sullivan. West- brook forward. received honorable mention.
