We have en- deavored to uphold the high standards of the past, and hope to set as high a standard for the future. We have striven to list the activities and interests of the students during the past year which center around our beloved school life. In collecting this material we have had in mind your enjoyment, your likes and dislikes, and have tried to fulfill the expectations of all. May we suggest that this is somewhat hard to do and ask that your judgment may be tempered with mercy. MARKING DESKS Scarred and mutilated desks in a schoolroom are a disgrace to the school'. From the visitor's point of view, marked desks look as slovenly and disreputable as do the ragged and tattered tramps who walk the track. Scarred desks show a lack of true school spirit. A student who truly loves his Alma Mater will not in any way do anything to disfigure any part of her. Mutilated furni- ture also shows a lack of application. The student who is interested in his studies will not Hnd much time to dig his desk up. This is the work of the dreamer. In Westbrook High the practice of carving initials in the desks has been carried on to a great extent. Nevertheless, these scars are not worthy souvenirs of the days spent here. just as surely as a knife has dug a piece of wood from a desk, something has been taken from the honor of the school. feel that he has given something lasting, a tribute to the honor in which he holds the school, than to know that he has done something not worthy of Westbrook High. .T-i . THE SECOND TEAM Everybody applauds the team which leads the school' on to victory. How m-any, however, cheer the second team? How many even think about it, let alone cheer it? Very few, I am afraid. I cannot truthfully say that the first team gets any undeserved applause. I can say, however, that the second squad does not get the glory that it deserves. The strength and success. of the regular team depends a great deal upon the competition in practice which is offered by boys who often have no chance to Hght in the scheduled games. How can a squad, even with the very best of material, play and play to win unless it has had struggles with rivals? In practice periods the second team, representing the rival school, furnishes the oppo- sition and competition necessary to train the boys representing the home school. A series of for- ward passes, double plays, or some such tactics is first tried out on this opposing squad. Why then should not these spunky boys work- ing day after day and week after week for a whole season and receiving no, or practically no, recognition of their faithful, dogged services be considered as much the school team as those who, by reason of greater ability, or experience, make the school varsity? Westbrook High School 7 SCHOOL SPIRIT To the townspeople of Westbrook the high school students are woefully lacking in school spirit. At the games the percentage of outsiders to students is at least three to one. Surely this does not give strangers a very good opinion of the school. If we are to have championship teams, we must give them our support. If we do not, we have no right to complain when the team is beaten. On another side, there is the question of finances. When athletic teams just break even financially they are not an entire success. How- ever, this is not the fault of the players. They go out on the field andi do their best. It is up to us, the student body, to give our teams our sup- port. If we go in the hole very much we must remember there is danger of some branch of sport being dropped. Then there is the cheering. It would be absurd to expect to get the volume of Portland or Deer- ing, but surely we can make up in pep what we lack in numbers. Often we read of cheers rolling across the field. Westbrook's cheers usually just pop here and there. The cheering really is not much of a credit to the school. A remedy that we would suggest for all these situations is a rally before every game. We could have speakers such as Mr. Fraser and former stars. We could also have real cheer practice. This would take time, of course, but if other schools can do it, why can't we? Let's all get behind W. H. S. this coming year. Let's show the townspeople that we are alive, and let's make this the best season in every way that Westbrook High School ever had. ART Westbrook High School has a very good Art Class. The one trouble is the size. In other schools the classes are large and much interest is shown, while at W. H. S. the class is so small that it does not secure the interest that is necessary for good work. However, many good works were produced this year, among them, parchment lampshades, which have been in great demand this year at all furniture stores. Telephone screens were made, using gesso. This was first made by the ancients who used it to decorate columns. The use of it on telephone screens gave the class a unique task. Art working on soft leather was another ex- ample of Mr. Sterling's genius. Pocketbooks and billfolds were made by the students. Mr. Sterling has been laying stress on the study of some of the most famous artists. This has proved to be veryi interesting to the students. An exhibition will be given towards the end of the year, in which the best work of the pupils will be shown. HOCKEY INSTEAD OF BASKETBALL We live in a sport-loving town. All of us like clean, speedy games. We have the material and facilities for such a game. Why not hockey? There are as many good hockey players in W. H. S. as there are good basketball players. As many hockey games could be scheduled during a season as basketball games. Hockey is a clean, spirited, and fast game. That appeals to our community. Opponents would play willingly here because of the good facilities for hockey. That is something we cannot boast about, at present, in basketball, because our gym is so small and insufficient that most of the scheduled games are played away from home. This disappoints our community and ourselves who are not able to follow the basketball games away from home all the time. When games are played in our gym W. H. S. often loses money, even if the hall is packed, because the receipts aren't large enough to cover expenses. There is no danger of that happening in hockey because the hockey park is fitted with plenty of seating space, regulation ice rink, and good seats. Thus we would have better financial success. Hockey is fast becoming pop- ular in the large schools of today. Why shouldn't VV. H. S. keep up with the rest? If we start hockey, the higher gate receipts, l'esser expenses to the school, and the keener interest of the students and community, will result in W. H. S. successfully producing a paying champion team of the nationally liked sport of hockey. -A tnunl The Blue E-r VVhite 8 STUDY ' The lack of effort and interest in studies may be traced to the different reasons why pupils attend high school. They may be classified in three groups: those who are forced, either by parents or age to attend-but why not make the most of the opportunity given us, those who want a good time -there is a time and place for good times outside the study room, those who earnestly desire an education-they make good tutors for the others in time of need. Naturally the earnest students are hard workers. If the whole student body of Westbrook High School should put in as many hours of study daily as a few do every day, the majority would be on the honor roll. Oh, that some who never try to be on that roll should once have that Grand and Glorious Feeling! They would strive to remain. Besides being on the honor roll, there is the satis- faction of having done one's best. Study means not merely rank but also a real knowledge, a good foundation for either business or college. Teachers aren't such monsters as they look or seem when lessons haven't been prepared. just try having those lessons once and find how human those very teachers really can be. Prepared lessons will be daily rewarded by them. To be a member of the National Honor Society would be an excellent aim for Westbrook High School. Since the membership of the school de- pends upon the scholarship standard of the school, which in turn in this society depends wholly upon the scholarship of a certain percent of the Senior class, this woul'd bring about a greater effort by the student body to put their best work into the preparation of their studies and to give attention in the classroom. Only by the co-operation of the faculty and the student body can our Westbrook High School be a benefit to all. .-, THE SCHOOL LIBRARY One of Westbrook High Schoo1's greatest needs at the present time is a new library. Every modern school, such as Deering, Portland, South Portland, etc., has a convenient library with the necessary equipment. We will admit that we have that which is called a library-furnished with chairs, a table, and a few book shelves. As for books, we have a few sets of encyclopedias, one or two large diction- aries, histories, scientific volumes, and a few books of fiction. However, we should have more and a larger assortment. At present, because of the small size and the resulting confusion in finding books, but few at one time are allowed to do any reference work in the library. Therefore, a pupil must go to the Public Library for reference work. In this way he loses much time. If we had a more con- venfent library in the school it would save much time for every student, particularly for those pupfls living outside of the city. VVe are sure that a new library and more books in VVestbrook High School would be greatly appreciated by the English, Latin and Scientific classes, since there are many references in the books that are included in the different courses that cannot be found in the present library. An interest between the community and the school should be created so that we might urge on the idea of a new library. SCHOOL SPIRIT There is one thing, one element, which is neces- sary to the success of this school, that is school spirit! The popular idea of school spirit seems to be the supporting of the athletic teams. School spirit, however, stands for much more than this. It is support, not only of athletics, but of any school' project, large or small. It means not only financial support, but the giving of one's service to the school. Every person who possibly can, should aid. In the case of athletics, every person who could possibly hope to make the team should turn out and practice. Likewise with debating. When the assembly gives an entertainment, every stu- dent in the school should aid in making it a suc- cess. The student body, as a whole, should back up any school project. Petty rivalries, disputes and jealousies should be set aside, and the student body should work, not for the good of Westbrook High School 9 one particular class, but for the good of the whole school. The one great trouble in most schools is lack of interest. The majority of the student body takes no active interest in what the school is doing. They are not content, however, to keep quiet about it. When something dissatisfies them, they commence grumbling, but still they take no steps to remedy the matter. There are people in the school who have never once attended an athletic game. Their only excuse is lack of interest. If they would turn out to the games and get some- one to explain them they would soon become interested. But above all, if they can't become interested, they shouldn't come back to school the next day and grumble about the rotten showing made by the team. If they consider themselves better players than the other fellow, the only manly, upright thing for them to do is to get out and show it, quit grumbling, and work shoulder to shoulder with the rest of the student body for the common good of the whole school. The students of W. H. S. should take care that the above does not apply to them and should work hard to keep up the school spirit. ASSEMBLIES Assemblies here are truly rare occasions and of decidedly short duration. No wonder they are hailed with such wild delight when it is rumored that one will re-ach the unbelievable length of half an hour or will take up a whole period. Can't something be done to remedy this? A plan which ought to prove very efficient is as follows: At the beginning of each year let a committee be appointed to conduct assemblies regularly. In this way anyone might make sug- gestions to the committee, whose duty it would be to bring them before the assembly. Here each question could be given careful consideration. Improvement of rallies would surely help make the assemblies more successful. Most schools hold them oftener and for a much longer time. The complaint is now made that we do not cheer loud enough. How can we since most of us are just getting warmed up when we have to stop? Speaking by members of the athletic teams ought to be encouraged. Scarcely anyone has confidence enough in himself to say a word. Comments on games and sports are always best if they come from a member of the team. The committee should also prepare interesting programs. There are innumerable ways in which this might be done. Anyone possessing some special talent, such as speaking or playing some musical instrument, should be glad to use it. Good readings and recitations are always well re- ceived. A short play might be given occasionally. Miss Stevenson conducted singing one morn- ing. Everyone enjoyed it. Singing will furnish amusement anytime. Why could not the school orchestra occasionally brighten things up a little? Not only would this plan furnish regular meet- ings and entertainment, but it ought to create a stronger interest in the affairs and welfare of the school.

Olive Smith, Frances Richardson, Pearl Sinclair, Raymond Beatty, Roland Chamard, and Vinal Ferren were arraigned before the judge, Carl Powers, by the officer of the court, Ralph Pride, and were con- demned by the jury, headed by John Gerry. The sketch was very amusing and caused much laughter. Piano solos were played by Dorothy Reny. A very fine assembly in charge of the Sopho- mores was held in May. Elsie Goodwin, Evelyn Randall, Linwood Largarson, Robert Bancroft, and Henry Hey supplied the entertainment. The last assembly of the year was held on June 18. Assembly officers for the following year were elected as follows: President, Roland Chamard: Vice-President, Carl Powersg Secre- tary, Dorothy Renyg Treasurer, John Gerry. The first assembly of this year was given by the Seniors to welcome the Freshmen. The pro- gram was as follows: Wake, Wake, Freshmen, Wake, sung by the upper-classmeng Speech of Welcome, by Pearl Sinclair, Reading, by Lin- wood Lagersong the Westbrook High School Song, by the students. A lecture at the Warren Church. October 15, under the auspices of the Senior class to help defray the expenses of graduation was very in- structive as well as interesting. Mr. Charles Buck who has traveled widely over America gave a fine illustrated talk on the Beauties of America. The lecture was well attended and was a financial success. The Curtis Publishing Company subscription contest during the fall term resulted in the sale of 203 subscriptions for the Ladies' Home Journal, Saturday Evening Post, and Country Gentleman. The contest was effectively carried on by Mr. Philip Marsh, who made teams of the three upper classes and made the provision that the winning team was to receive one-half of the net profit. The remainder was divided equally between the two other classes. As the Sophomores won by a close margin their share was S43.00. The Senior and junior classes received 321.50 respectively. October 27, Navy Day, was fittingly observed. Lieutenant Redman of the submarine S-22 ad- dressed the students on the very interesting sub- ject of the Navy, explaining in particular the submarine. His talk was greatly appreciated by the students. The last day of the fall term a debate was given by the Civil Government Class on the sub- ject: Resolved that Westbrook Should Have the City Manager Form of Government. The City Manager Form and the Council Form were ex- plained by Irene Sinclair and Lona Hendrickson. Marion James and Carl Burrows argued for the affirmative, and Margaret Powers and Cole Kelly for the negative. Both sides argued very wittily and the debate was much enjoyed. The judges decided in favor of the affirmative. Raymond Beatty made a very efficient chairman of the debate. The annual Prize Speaking Contest, conducted by the Stephen W. Manchester Post of the Amer- ican Legion, was held at the Warren Church, December 17, 1926. VVestbrook High School E,Z 5'a:1 ll The prizes were as usual awarded by the Legion. Miss Doris Drisko won first prize and Linwood Lagerson the second prize. Much credit is due Mrs. Donald Wight for her efficient coaching.

At this writing, the school is looking forward to a visit from the Commissioner of Education, Augustus O. Thomas, accompanied by the Legis- lative Committee on Education, of which Senator Speirs of Westbrook is Chairman. The girls of the domestic science cooking class are planning to serve a breakfast to the gentlemen of the Com- mittee under the direction of M-iss Byrne of the Home Economics Department. We are glad to welcome as additions to our high school Faculty the following new teachers: Miss Margaret Abbott, Mrs. Donald Wight, Mr. Charles Boyce, and Miss Josephine Briggs. The latter fills the vacancy caused by the resignation of Miss Stevenson of the Music Department, and Miss Abbott and Mrs. Wight are teaching the English classes, formerly taught by Miss Isabelle Pease, who is now teaching in Deering High School, and Miss Vera Eldridge who took Miss Lord's place when she resigned to accept a posi- tion, elsewhere. Mr. Boyce is taking the place in the machine shop, that was rendered vacant when Mr. Lord's illness prevented his returning to work. I2 The Blue f-r VVhite LD.k.-Jenin THE CHARACTER OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN Abraham Lincoln, the great American states- man, was born in Hardin County, Kentucky, Feb- ruary 12, 1809. During his early life he l'ived in a mere log cabin, and during those tedious years he endured many hardships. He was forced to bearso much sorrow that his countenance marked his suffering. His kindly face was rarely illuminated by a smile, altho he saw humor in others and tried to be humorous himself, in order to make others happy. Nevertheless, while his heart was weighed down by heavy burdens, his brave spirit never so much as showed a sign of weakening. This was chiefly because he stood for the Right, and trusted in God for help to guide him in accom- plishing any great mission. Rising as he did, from most unfavorable envi- ronments, during the critical period of his l'ife, into a higher life, and proving himself to be the possessor of the purest character and the noblest and most self-sacrificing nature of any statesman that ever lived, it cannot be denied that Lincoln was surely a miracle. He was shrewd and pene- trative in his judgment of men and he possessed a power to govern which far surpassed any other president. Lincoln's life was certainly well balanced. He was physically strong, morally straight, reli- giously inclined, and socially popular. It might be well to enumerate a few instances to prove that this fourfold plan was his standard for living. First, Lincoln must have been physically strong because he endured hard labor which was a neces- sity during his young life. While at work he exercised all the muscles of his body and he did not indulge in any bad habits which would tend to weaken his constitution. Lincoln had no time to spend in sports because he was eager to develop along business lines, therefore business and law kept him from participating much in recreation. He was not what one would term as athletic in stature, for he was not well proportioned. He was extremely tall and very thin, but aside from these last few facts, Lincoln certainly com- plied with the necessary qualities which a person who is physically strong must possess. Second. Lincoln was without a question, morally straight. He w-as persevering to secure all the education that he possibly could obtain thru his own study. Altho his education was abbreviated somewhat, it was not too apparent when he expressed himself publicly in political affairs. Lincoln entertained only clean thoughts and he always practiced the principle that hon- esty is the best policy. In all matters his sound judgment ruled and people always respected him in any meeting which he attended. Lincoln stood for fair play and wished to have justice shown to everyone. In regard to the government of our country Lincoln wished to have the prin- ciples of the constitution correctly carried out. When he took his oath of office as President, he pledged himself to do all within his power to do right by everyone. He took his stand as a friend Westbrook High School - V- 1: '3 to all and wished to have everyone clearly under- stand that he stood for the right in any case, whether it meant war, disunion, or peace. Cer- tainly he could not have held the responsible posi- tion that he did hold, had he not been morally straight. Third, Lincoln was religiously inclined. When- ever he was in any great trouble or wished to accomplish something, Lincoln always asked help from his Maker, and trusted Him to guide him thru the task. Daily, Lincoln prayed and, in truth, prayer was part of his daily routine. As he never had been brought up in a neighborhood where religion was respected to any extent, it is remarkable that he should be so inclined. He strove to obey the Ten Commandments and suc- ceeded most admirably. Certainly this great man honored his parents, which -is obeying one of the greatest Commandments of all. He also made a practice of observing the Golden Rule which is a great stepping-stone toward right living. Lin- coln served God by governing His people and by setting an example worth while for anyone to follow. Then fourth, this man was socially popular. It is true that because of his uncouthness, Lin- coln was not entertained to the extent that he might have been, if he had been more neat in his manner of dress. But a great many people disre- garded that fact and looked upon him with great admiration and respect. Whenever Lincoln gave a speech, the audience was held spell-bound. He was brief in his expressions, but his eyes flashed with the fire of his profound thoughts. He never presented an unsightly figure as a speaker by a slothful appearance. He did not try to attract attention by making superfluous talk, and thus he easily gained his point in almost every case. He was loved by his fellow countrymen. He was not of the nature to enjoy the extreme forms of social life, and therefore gracefully declined many invitations which he received to attend social functions. He w-as truly a man of men, and a friend to all, but his sympathy rested chiefly with the common people, and at the same time he kept his standing among the higher class of people. Thus Lincoln can rightly be credited w-ith being popular socially. After living such a clean, honorable life, it seemed tragic that this great emancipator, this great leader of men during the Civil War, should have to give up his life merely because a fanatic lost his head over sectional spirit and determined to revenge the cause of the disunion, and did so by robbing this republic of its greatest leader. This sudden and ,unexpected termination of Lincoln's career gave a sort of consecration to his character and time has not lessened the affec- tionate regard which the citizens of our republic hold for him. He was truly a martyr to his country's liberties. FRANCES RICHARDSON. OUR FLAG Our Hag means to us all that it meant to our fathers in the Revolutionary Warg it means all that the Declaration of Independence meantg it means all that the Constitution of our people, organizing for justice, for liberty, and for happi- ness meant. Our flag carries American history, American feelings and American ideas. It has gathered and stored this supreme idea,--divine right of liberty for man. Every color means liberty, every thread means libertyg every form of star and beam or stripe means liberty: not law- lessness, not license. but organized, institutional liberty, liberty through law, and laws for liberty. Our flag is not a painted rag. It is a whole national history. It is the Constitution and the government. It is the free people who stand for the government of the Constitution. BEATRICE RENY. MAKE READY Some days are cheery, some are dreary, But each has a task for you. So just smile, and be worth while During High School days so few. It's in the schools you get your tools, With which through life to work. Make the best of every test Ne'er allow yourself to shirk. Fight the tight with all your might, Don't stop for doubts or fears. A habit formed, it will belong To you all through the years.

GoonwrN, ' A WASTED LOVE I dreamed one night, I was seeing On the waters silvery blue, A maiden sailing downstream In a pure snow-white canoe. There sat her lover by her side Who played upon a lyre, And sang love songs, in those soft tones All maidens must admire. Yet sat the maid so very mute VVhen his few songs were o'er, And bade that he would paddle back To the green and moonlit shore. They traveled thru the current strong, But never he seemed troubled, Until she chanced to glance at him, And then her laughter bubbled. I saw his love change into hate While gazing at her glee, Said he, your scorn, I might have borne Had you not laughed at me. Then straight into the current Rushed the little birch canoe, And straightway down the rapids Until its sides smashed thru. I saw the maiden's blank despair As a last long breath was drawn: And her lover sank beside her, His eyes alight with scorn. ELIZABETH SHAW, '27. A STUDENTS HARDSHIP I think sometimes that school Is surely quite the bunk, With such a lot to do No wonder people Hunk. Why, not more than a week ago, I studied hard one night. I hoped that when a question came I'd answer prompt and right. But there I sat all thru that class And wrung my arm most loose. Then, I said, I give it up, Oh, dear me, what's the use? And so the next night I went out, And felt so nice and free, But do you know, that the next day The teacher called and called on me. And there I sat as dumb as clay, While all at me were gazing. The way I studied late that night Was surely most amazing. ELIZABETH SHAW '27, ! TRADITIONS That seemingly harmless combination of ten of the alphabet's twenty-six words, never fails to strike a responsive chord in the heart of every student and graduate. For it represents an un- calculated amount of good, hard, honest work, that is fine enough to be handed down as an example by word of mouth and printed record to the undergraduate. In the minds of many, this is one of the most potent factors of which a school may boast, and a means of creating a sort of atmosphere that either charms or repulses. And we believe that Westbrook High is the bearer of many traditions of the charming variety, the sort that mingles well with the venerable ivy that encloses the old fortress of learning. In the following we will attempt to point out a few of them and advance a few new points. Our teams have literally showered us with vast quantities of clean cut victories that are marked by many valuable cups. For instance, former giants of the gridiron have passed the pigskin over and thru and under ancient enemiesg clear- headed basketeers have found the basket again and againg former baseball stars have whacked the ball high above the heads of dumbfounded outfielders, thru innocent windows, to an ultimate victory. On the other hand if you prefer, our actors and actresses, with all the skill of trained and ex- perienced veterans, have left a name for them- selves in the minds of appreciative audiences Cor if not there, then cut neatly on the backstage of Westbrook's only Opera Housel. And last but not leastg many students have pulled down large and juicy A's with pluses care- fully tacked on. Of course good studentry is the Westbrook High School i i N 15 butt of many a joke, and many a bit of ridiculeg but isn't the really brainy chap recognized and respected? Now, ask anyone, in or out of school, about, let's s-ay Ronald Rough, who came under one of the above mentioned groups, and you'll prob- ably Find that Ronald Rough -is well remem- bered, even if he was of the day whiskers were worn as an ornament! That's tradition, and such is desirable. But it's the tradition of other classes, not our own, and that's the point! We want to do things in such a way that the dear old class of twenty- seven, eight, nine or thirty, will always be recalled with a halo of real accomplishment about its head. And so, why not get going? Work with, not against, those in charge, pull as a single unit of immeasurable strength. Show a lot and not a little real school spirit of the type that yells even louder for a defeated, but game team. And as school spirit doesn't only apply to the field, show a lot more in school in the little matter of studies! We can do it and will .... but couldn't we do it a lot better with a new school, a new gym, and a new auditorium. Better seating, more air and more lightg in fact, more room to do things in. If you think so, join in and advertise, by action, and speech, our worth, and we'll have a new school worth yelling about! BILL VALLEE. In contributing the following group of verses, Doris Hooper, of the Freshman class, has shown poetic fancy, which includes a variety of subjects. SPRING Snow and cold are a thing of the past, And Spring, we hope, has come at last. The days are longer than e'er before, The fierce cold wind we hear no more. Summer dresses we also see. And stockings rolled below the knee. We surely hope Spring's come to stay, So we can ride o'er the roads and away. FUN I know it's fun to go sliding at night, Especially when a whole crowd of you go. For what is more fun when the moon's shining bright, Than to go flying over the snow. A LITTLE OLD LADY I know a kind lady, an old one at that, Who lives down on our street, in fact in our flat: She's a nice old lady, so gentle and kind, And when things go wrong she never whines. Of course she's not perfect, for none of us arel Not even a planet, the moon, or a star. SNOWF LAKES Snowflakes gently falling To the earth below, Everywhere you End a blanket of white snow. I LOVE YOU I love you now, I love you ever, I love you in all kinds of weather, If it is sunny, or if there is rain, I love you, love you, just the same. WESTBROOK HIGH SCHOOL I know of a place called Westbrook High, If I couldn't go there, I thinlc I'd die, For tho the walls are of brick, And the windows are tall, And it looks like' a prison, It isn't at all. Its doors are open to the great and small, No matter where you're from, If it is from some large city, A small village, or a town, We like to have you with us, And hope that you will stayg For we'd like to have you help us In our work and in our play. So if you'll just stay with us And help our school to grow, Some day you'll be proud of it, This I am sure is so.

The School Board was fortunate in obtaining Miss Josephine Briggs to fill the vacancy caused by Miss Steven- son's resignation. Miss Briggs is a graduate of the New England Conservatory and has been teaching in York, Maine. This year the orchestra has suffered from a lack of variety of instruments. For this reason many of the classical and semi-classical numbers have been omitted. However, a great deal of work has been done on numbers requiring principally the strings. The orchestra has played at several' Parent-Teacher meetings this year.

The chorus has not as yet attempted much in the line of classics. Most of the time has been spent on the old favorites and lighter compositions. May we make a plea for better support in the music department. In the orchestra we need wind instruments very much. The school owns a cello, clarinet, and bass violin which will be loaned to any student who will study and give the orchestra his support. This is a wonderful opportunity to study at little expense. In the chorus there is a lack of tenors and basses. Next year let us get behind the music depart- ment and put old Westbrook High on the map in music as she is in athletics. Nonwoon MACDONALD, '28, Industrial Department There is fully as much interest in the Industrial Department of W. H. S. this year as in previous years. The Sen-ior Industrial class has dwindled away to six members, but the other classes are larger than usual. The studies and work taken up in the Industrial course are always useful to a student whether he continues work in this line or not. Shop work, Mechanical Drawing, and Industrial Mathematics are the special studies of the Industrial course. 26 The Blue e- white Freshmen in this course put in 160 minutes of shop and 160 minutes of Mechanical Drawing per week. Their shop work is half wood-working and half forging and sheet-metal work. The Sophomores put in 160 minutes of Machine Shop and 160 minutes of Mechanical Drawing per week. Juniors have 200 minutes of Mechanical Drawing, 480 minutes of Machine Shop work, and 270 minutes of Pattern Shop work per week. Seniors have 200 minutes of Mechanical Drawing and spend 780 minutes per week in the machine shop. For Mathematics these students take Algebra, Arithmetic, Geometry, Industrial Arith- metic and Industrial Physics. The last two named are taken the last year of school and deal entirely with Industrial Probl'ems. There has been one change in the teaching staff of the Industrial Department this year. Charles Boise, formerly employed by the Knowlton Machine Co., has been hired to take the place of Elmer Lord in the machine shop. Mr. Boise shows a very extensive knowledge of modern machine methods, and has proven a very popular teacher, both with the students and with the other teachers. Machine work has been accomplished rapidly under his supervision and several new pieces of work will be turned out before the end of the year. Several advanced machinery blue-prints are being made in the Mechanical Drawing room. This department has advanced rapidly in the past two years. RALPH F. PRIDE, '2'7. MACHINE SHOP The Sophomores and Juniors have continued in the regular course of Machine Shop work this year. The Sophomores are taught the care of machines and take simple turning jobs, such as screw-blanks, screw-threads, and paper-weights. The Juniors take up more advanced work, such as screw-clamps, screw-jacks, and machinist's vises. The screw-jacks and vises are given to the stu- dents making them for the cost of the material used. The cost of the small vise made by juniors is 32.25 or about one-fourth of the retail price at the stores. The Seniors have spent most of their time this year on new work. Work has been continued on the six wood-turning lathes started last year and it is hoped that they will soon be finished. We are also making seven small hand Emery Grinders. Several new things, such as angle-irons, have been made for the shop and these are very useful. Some of the Seniors have made the large swivel- base machinist vises, which cost them 34.00. RALPH F. PRIDE, '27. PATTERN SHOP As we know, the bodily muscles will not respond without the given stimuli from the brain. In like manner neither would the machine shop function without the pattern departmentg for nearly everything machined in the lower shop had once to be patterned in the upper shop. Here, the usual patterns are constructed, and in addition, various parts of a speed lathe, six of which are nearing completion. The machines used for this purpose are here listed: the circular saw, two planers, a jointer, surfacer, and C about the most importantj a lathe. Each bench is equipped with all the hand tools necessary for making patterns. When the six new speed lathes have been completed, the pattern shop will lack nothing. Mr. Alden has lately added to the equipment an electric hand router and shaper for fillet work and moulding. Recently a blower was installed to provide for the removal of all the shavings, sawdust, etc., thrown off from the machines. This, besides giving more room for the workers, aids greatly in the work of the janitor in his daily cleaning. The patterns as mentioned above, go to the Jordan foundry to be moulded and cast. The boys, to better understand the use of their pat- terns, devote one afternoon of every year in watching the men mould and pour. At the end of the year, the boys are obliged to mould some of their own constructions to test their accuracy. Pattern making is the last of woodworking of any kind that is done in the Industrial course during the four years. HENRY TEAGUE, '28. Westbrook High School '- 4 w' 'qs 27 Commercial COMMERCIAL COURSE VALUES The commercial course is valuable to several classes of pupilsg principally to those who desire an introductory training to fit them for employ- ment in the business world, to those who are pre- paring to enter higher schools of accountancy or business administration, and to those who intend to go into business for themselves. The college student would find shorthand a great help in his lecture courses and often typewriting proves to be an asset convertible into money to pay some of his expenses. Even in the home a knowledge of accounts, an acquaintance with raw material and manufactured products, such as food and cloth- ing, may often be very useful. In short, there is no one who will not sooner or later find a practi- cal use for much that forms the content of any broad commercial course. After completing such a course in the high school, pupils who have availed themselves of the opportunities offered occupy many kinds of positions in business offices and have procured habits which will be valuable to them in any vocation. The following are some of the qualities of a good office employee which are practiced continu- ally by students in a commercial department: 1 Punctuality in arriving at office and in finishing work. 2. Neatness in person, clothing and work. 3. Courtesy. 4. Swiftness in hearing, seeing, and obey- ing. 5. Concentration. G. Self-reliance. 7. Accuracy. 8. Dependability. 9. Initiative. 10. We all know what these qualities are but, if we do not possess them or, if possessing them, we fail to put them into practice, what good will they ever do us? And so, at the beginning of our course, we are taught to cultivate and practice these essentials, so that'they will have become habits, by the time we are ready to enter an office. Loyalty. Department The teachers are continually fighting tardiness. It is insisted that we be punctual in arriving at school and in attending our classes, for we must utilize every minute of our six short periods. If we were working in an office it would be necessary that we arrive promptly in order that we might complete our work on time, and so we are form- ing the habit of punctuality. Neatness, as we all know, contributes much to a person's appearance and in like manner to his work. When we present ourselves at an office to apply for a position, one of the first things which the prospective employer notices is our personal appearance. But, even tho we are neat in person and clothing and our work is untidy we shall never be an asset to any office. In the book- keeping class ten points are deducted from our rank for erasures or for untidy books. Courtesy is a quality which should be practiced faithfully in all of our daily work. It shouldn't be necessary to make a special effort to be cour- teousg it should be a habit. When you enter an office and are greeted courteously by an office girl, doesn't it immediately make a good impression on you? Courteous letters are an asset to any firm and often large business deals depend upon the l'etters written in connection with them. Letter- writing has much attention in our English depart- ment and courteous speech is practiced or should be practiced in our everyday recitations and con- versations and in -all our contacts. In the commercial department we are continu- ally working to acquire two things, speed and accuracy. In bookkeeping, typewriting, short- hand and commercial arithmetic, these two words form our motto. In our bookkeeping we first learn the principles and then we have to apply them. When applying them we first work slowly with the idea of accu- racy continually before us, but after we have acquired this quality, we work to attain speed. It is much the same in typewriting, shorthand, commercial arithmetic, and office practice. The first part oi our shorthand course is devoted mostly to the formation of letters and words and 28 The Blue ff white we practice them for accuracy. The second part is devoted to phrasing and the omission of letters and words for the sake of speed. In typewriting we first master the keyboard and then practice to acquire speed. Most of the commercial arithmetic course is devoted to short methods and time-sav- ing principles. It is the same in ofhce practice, where all kinds of time-saving devices and ma- chines are being introduced. None of the above mentioned qualities can be actually acquired unless we concentrate. The high school teachers are rapidly curing mind wandering by calling upon the pupil quickly to recite, and the pupil who is aroused upon hearing his name spoken becomes suddenly aware that he knows nothing about what is going on. Lack of concentration on our work causes many mistakes, sometimes very serious ones, which deduct from rather than add to neatness, speed and accuracy. Self-reliance and initiative should go together, for anyone who has initiative is usually self- reliant. The teachers are evidently very anxious that we attain these two qualities for problems which demand initiative, and the power to think things out are continually confronting us. In an office we must be self-reliant, for .,we may often be left to ourselves with no one to give directions, and we should make it one of our chief aims to bother those with whom we may be working as little as possible for they may have their own work to do. Dependability and loyalty should also go together, for how can we depend on anyone who isn't loyal? Both of these qualities can be easily practiced in our everyday life. We should make it a habit to go to school every day and not to stay at home because of a slight pain or a mild storm. We should also go with our lessons prepared so that the teachers can depend upon us to recite. If, after we have secured a position in an office, we fail to appear two or three days of the week, how can anyone depend on us? In an office just as at school we shall have a certain amount of work to do each day and if we fail to do it one day, we must do it the next, so, why not be loyal to our school' or office and do each day's work faithfully as it comes? Perhaps this is enough to show the value of a commercial course, as a preparation for post- school' life. The business world is advancing and with progress comes the great need for increasing knowledge preparation commensurate with this progress. The future demands an intelligent force of professional and business people of education, culture and experience. EDITH M. ELWELL, '2'7. DALTON ADDING MACHINE A Dalton Diploma of proficiency is awarded to each student who succeeds in adding a test column, which the Dalton Adding Machine Com- pany provides, by touch, in less than eighty seconds. If the time recorded is one minute or less, the student becomes eligible for membership in the Delta Alpha Mu Society, and the insignia, a gold pin, is presented with the Diploma. The following students succeeded in either the certificate, or both certificate winning and pin last year: Seniors Pupils Anderson, Louise, certificate Chick, Louise, certificate Crawford, Laura, certificate Jordan, Grace, certificate and pin Larravee, Cora, cetrificate and pin Mushreau, Helen, certificate and pin Phaneuf, Josephine, certificate and pin Reece, Harry, certificate Roberts, Emma, certificate Robichaud, Louise, certificate and pin Rocheleau, Jeannette, certificate and pin Turner, Elsie, certificate and pin fuiiiors A Elwell, Edith, certificate and pin Last year Mr. Wigon, Sales Manager of the Dalton Adding Machine Company in this district, offered two prizes of 356.00 and 54.00, respec- tively, to the students who succeeded in running a test list, furnished by him, in the shortest period of time.

To emphasize and attain these aims the typewriter companies send tests to the school each month. Each student is allowed to try the four tests once every month on each of the four machines used in the department. If the requirements are met, the awards, which are also named below, are received. Ten strokes are deducted from the total number of strokes for each error made in the test. It can readily be seen, that in order to win the awards, accuracy is more important than speed. The following is a list of the Seniors last year who won awards in typewriting: tury. Business subjects were taught in few universities prior to 1900, and in the public high schools commercial subjects first appeared about 1895. At that time some of the larger high schools of the Atlantic seaboard introduced book- keeping into the curriculum. The men who first undertook to give formal instruction in business subjects confined their work almost exclusively to bookkeeping with some attention to arithmetic and penmanship. From the beginning the growth in ntunbers of pupils taking commercial subjects has been rapidg by 1910-1911 the work had spread throughout the United States, and the Commissioner of Educa- tion reported that 11.3 percent of all pupils L.

HISTORY OF COMMERCIAL EDUCATION Business, in its various stages of development, has existed for many centuriesg education in busi- ness has had its growth within the last half cen- enrolled in the public high schools that year were in the commercial courses. For the year 1922 the number had grown to over 50 percent. It is apparent that any history of the origin and development of the science of commercial accounts must necessarily be a part of the history of the commercial nations of the world. Among the empires of the ancient world, Babylon was long the greatest commercial nation. The accounts of the merchants of ancient Babylon were kept on baked clay tablets. Many of these tablets have been brought to light by recent excavations and a large number of them translated, and in some Westbrook High School cases their appearance has been compared to that of a modern ledger. One tablet, in particular, which has been translated, seems to show that merchants kept a careful account for each day. Babylonian commercial methods undoubtedly persisted and had their influence on Greek and Roman activities. The Latin language abounds in words which have primarily a commercial signifi- cance. Our word calculate, for example, -is derived from the Latin calculus, a little stone or pebble, by which at first all calculating was done. Perhaps the greatest single impulse given to bookkeeping, and for that matter, to every other science connected in any way with numbers, was the introduction into Europe, near the end of the Dark Ages, of the Arabic system of numerals to take the place of the cumbrous Roman method of numeration which had been universally employed on the continent of Europe. It has been established that the first writer on Italian bookkeeping was a learned monk named Lucas Pacioli, whose work was contained in a mathematical treatise which he published in 1494. This was probably the first double-entry method of bookkeeping. The first treatise in the English Language on the Italian method of double entry bookkeeping was published in 1543. The English writers of bookkeeping found that the following books were essential to the conduct of business: The Petty Expense Book, A Copy Book of Leters, The Memorandum, The Waste Book, The Journal, The Ledger, The Factor Book. Many of the books mentioned above are used in present day bookkeeping. The primary purpose of bookkeeping is to fur- nish the business man with financial facts and figures on the basis of which he can determine the future conduct and policies of his business. 31 Only recently the president of one of our great- est universities stated that the greatest need in the world today is for men and women who can think straight. Certainly the greatest need in business is for individuals who can take a busi- ness situation, and, by a process of straight thinking, arrive at a sound and safe solution. One of the most definite trends in commercial work today is the teaching of bookkeeping by the balance-sheet approach. The balance sheet method is based on the principle that doing is educa- tional only when accompanied by understandingg its emphasis is first upon the business itself, secondly upon the effect of transactions on the business, and thirdly upon the way to record these transactions. Specifically, by the balance-sheet method the pupil is presented, perhaps by means of a simple arithmetical problem, with a list of an individual's properties, including any cash on hand and mer- chandise held for sale, and of the debts owing by him and to him. The pupil is then requested to determine not only what the individual is worth Cmerely a problem in arithmeticj, but also the result in a form in which it would be most helpful to the business man. Here the pupil l'earns the simple form of balance sheet, and why and how it is useful to the proprietor. The balance-sheet equation, the fact that any individual's worth is measured by the excess of his assets over his debts, is developedg the pupil is not only doing something, but he is also understanding as he does. In this way the pupil learns more thoroughly the bookkeeping processes, with more intelligence, with greater satisfaction to himself and to the teacher, and with greater credit to his school. In conclusion, it is perhaps not amiss to men- tion again that commercial education in the publ'ic high schools is only thirty years old. As com- pared with the classics and the sciences it is in age a mere babe in swaddling clothes, but in size it is a powerful young giant.

A ce moment Monsieur Raoul, le marchand, s'ap- procha de lui et l'acheta. Reno l'e remercia et se depecha vers la petite ecole. Il entre dans Vedifice de pauvre apparence au meme moment ou la cloche sonna et etait tres surpris en allant a sa place de trouver un grand homme assis a cote de la pupitre du Vieux profes- seur. Aussitot que chaque eleve etait a sa place et la salle etait a l'ordre, le professeur se leva et apres un gai, Bonjour mes el'eves, il leur intro- duisit son ami d'Angleterre, Monsieur Payson. Il est ici pour une couple de mois, il dit, et je lui ai persuade enfin d'enseigner au moins un peu de mots d'anglais a ceux-ci qui veulent. ll faut rester une demie lieure apres le conge chaque spres-midi, mais c'est une opportunite excellente ct tous ceux-ci qui peuvent, do-ivent en proiiter. La classe commencera cette apres-midi et sera ex- empt de prix. Puis. il prit sa place derriere la pupitre haute et l'a routine ordinaire suivit. Inutile de dire, quand la cloche sonna a trois heures cet apres-midi la, la salle etait pleine de filles et garcons curieux. Au coin etait Reno, le 35 plus enrage' de tous. Il y n'avait pas de temps pour beaucoup de regles de grammaire, mais ils commencerent a apprendre a prononcer et a epeler autant de mots que c'etait possible. Il etait tra- vail tres difficile et au bout de la classe beaucoup d'eleves avait recu leur lecon derniere d'anglais. Cependant, Reno alla vers la maison avec beau- coup de contentement. Tous les jours la classe de Monsieur Payson diminua jusque trois ou quatre eleves seulment resterent. Reno s'avance rapidement et deja possida un grand vocabulaire qu'il employa un jour a bon avantage. Il marchait par la rue de bonne heure du matin vendant ses journaux quand un homme l'appela d'une fenetre ouverte. Reno s'approcha de la maison et Vhomme, qu'il reconnut etre le caissier de la laanque d'Amiens lui donna une note. Il le dcmanda de la delivrer a un homme cert-ain quand il passa sa maison. Puis il lui donna un coin. Aussitot que Reno etait hors de vue sa curi- osite le forca a ouvrir la note et a examiner le contenu. Il etait tres etonne de lire les mots suivants en anglais: We will get the money tonight. Pe in the alley at 1 A. M. Tout de suite ses suspicions etaient evillees. Voila le temps que je le dupe. Il ne pense pas que je pouvais lire l'anglais. Telles que les pensees qui passer- ent dans son esprit. Puis il delivra la note, non pas au personnage destine, mais au directeur de la police. Ce soir-la la banque n'etait pas volee comme il avait ete arrange, les conquins etaient emprison- nes, et Reno etait recompense. M:XRION MCFARLAND, '28.

Although the four years have been years of toil and strife all will agree that they have been enjoyable and have passed all too rapidly. It has been a happy period in our life, never to be recalled, for now we must, as the say- ing is, paddle our own canoe. We started on our knowledge hunting career in 1923 as Freshmen with 100 companions. The next year saw the class diminished to '71, on account of pupils transferring to other schools or leaving school entirely. We entered upon our third year with a class of 60. Now as Seniors our number only reaches 49-nevertheless, those remaining have sought to uphold the school spirit in all their undertakings. Of the 49, seven came in during the years from other schools-Hormidas Aube, Paul Bartlett, George Hannaford, Sylvia Holden, Doris Robbins, Elizabeth Shaw and Paul Thomas. Our class is composed of pupils who specialize in the diiTerent arts. In the Assembly Play were Frances Richardson, Doris Drisko, and Helen Jarrett. The Prize Speaking Contest, atlhough two pupils from the Junior class were awarded the prizes, received some talented elocutionists from our class, Ruth Barker, Helen Jarrett, Pearl Sinclair and Olive Smith. Those prominent in athletics were: Dorothy King, Marjorie King, Jean Macdonald, Mildred Mushreau, Pauline Sutermeister, for the girls, and Hormidas Aube, Roland Chamard, William Chandler, John Gerry, Carl Powers, Raymond Sullivan for the boys. At the first class meeting we elected the follow- ing oflicers 2 President--John Gerry. Vice-President-Pauline Sutermeister, Treasurer-Reba Manchester. Secretary-Etta Spiller. Those in the class of 1927 are: Boys Allen, Duane Andrews, Clifford Aube, Hormidas Bartlett, Paul Campbell, Leo Chamard, Roland Chandler, William Chick, Willard Chick, Wilton Gerry, John Hannaford, George Hawkins, Guy Jensen, Edwin Lachance, Napoleon Powers, Carl Pride, Ralph Sullivan, Raymond Thomas, Paul Turgeon, Roland Winslow, Theodore Girls Barker, Ruth Blake, Olive Elwell, Edith Foster, Dorothy Foster, Mildred Holden, Sylvia Jarrett, Helen Keller, Glenna King, Dorothy King, Marjorie Labrecque, Theresa Macdonald, Jean Manchester, Reba Merrick. Arline Miller, Leola Mushreau, Mildred Porella, Rose Reny, Dorothy Richardson, Frances Robbins, Doris Robinson, Sylvia Shaw, Elizabeth Sinclair, Pearl Smith, Olive Smith, Pauline Spiller, Etta Stearns, Doris Dowling, Dorothy Sutermeister, Pauline There are 29 girls and 20 boys in the class, a total of 49. Of these, 16 take the college course: 16, the commercial courseg 8, the industrial course 5 and 9, the general course. DOROTHY F. RENY, '2'?'.

Sensations of hope, fear, adventure, and good- will were represented within these young people, who, after being formally received three weeks later at a reception Ctheir ownj, acknowledged the Csupposedlyj superiority of the upper class- men, and changed their point of view somewhat. Gradually they became accustomed to the rou- tine of the new school life and very swiftly went through the Freshman year. William Vallee and Dorothy Blair brought our class into prominence by assuming two of the leading roles in the High School Play. Our Sophomore year came and passed with comedy and pathosg comedy, because in the class, amusing incidents always occurg and pathos, because we were very sorry to lose seventeen of the one hundred and three students who regis- tered. It is said that the least notice is taken of the Sophomores Cfor the Freshmen are always in the limelight, and as for the juniors and Seniors, -I guess we'd better not say anything about them-D but we showed them that we were alive and active. Linwood L-agerson won the first prize in the Prize Speaking Contest, while William Vallee, Dorothy Blair, Charles Sawyer, Beatrice Reny and Doris Baker took parts in the High School Drama. Now we have come into our third year of High School life with a registration of eighty-seven. a much better idea of real work and study, and nearly always we have the largest number on the sincere wishes for success. An example of the result of hard work or just natural ability is the brilliance for which our class is noted, since honor roll. The following class officers were elected shortly after the opening of the fall term. ' President-Charles Sawyer. Westbrook High School Vice-President-Victor Walker. Secretary-Winnifred Smith. Treasurer-Guy V. Sinclair. A subscription contest for The Ladies' Home Journal was entered -into with much enthusiasm by the three upper classes. The Juniors lost to the Sophomores by a very narrow margin. A very interesting debate City Management was given by the Civics class. The participants, who were all juniors, certainly showed that they could put up a good argument. Linwood Lagerson again brought us honor by capturing the second prize in the Prize Speaking Contest. We received our class rings in November, a matter which is always of interest to students. Our athletes must also claim attention for they have done splendid work. The following partic- ipate in sports: Edel Kloth, Ruth Libby, Winni- fred Smith, Louise Tourangeau, Winton Farley, john Hay, William Lebeau, Lloyd Libby, and Victor VValker. Henry Hey and Raymond Beatty are our cheer leaders and they surely make us yell for Westbrook with spirit. We had one new entrant this year, Richard Pennell from Newton High School, Newton, Mass. The number of students in the different courses are: College, 36, Commercial, 22, Industrial, 13 3 General, 16. Total, 87 Cgirls, 40, boys, 475. We hope to be the largest class to graduate from Westbrook High School, as our prospects for that seem bright now. The following is the list of the class of 1928: Boys Grigwer, Reny Beatty, Raymond Hay, John Boissonne-au, Alphonse Hey, Henry Boomer, Russell Hoar, Leigh Brackett, George Hurd, Charles Burnham, Edwin Kelley, Cole Burrows, Carl Lagerson, Linwood F airservice, William Lebeau, William Farley, Winton Lebel, Paul E.

CLASS OF '29 September 14, 1925 was a memorable day for some 110 ubabiesl' in Westbrook. That was the day when we entered the great institution of higher knowledge called High School.

One hundred four hearts quaked at that thought on the morning of September 13, 1926, when we entered the high school building and were given our schedules and books. Later, on the evening of October 16, came the Freshman reception at Cumberland Hall. The Freshmen were asked to come early, which they did, nattily dressed. They were soon. however, painted and powdered till they little resembled their former selves. First came the Freshman Grand M arch, after which the Freshman dance took place, Very few of them could dance a step so it was not a complete success. They were then presented to the receiv-ing line made up of the faculty and members of the school board. Very little hazing was done except in secret. The results of the class election of officers was: President-Charles f Unc l Sinclair. Vice-President-Doris Hooper. Secretary-Milton Collins. Treasurer-Robert Gorrie.

Those obtaining four A's for the first half year were: Lawrence Bishop, Fred Fitzgerald, Antoinette Fortin, Doris Hooper, Maxine Hop- kinson, Dwight Leighton, Arlene Skillins, Harriet Small, and Blake Tewkesbury. For the quarter year only two, Donald Allen and Dwight Leighton, received four A's because many students were not ranked in English on account of the teachers being ill.

Our teachers dear, we owe to you The knowledge we have gained, Yet many are the hours we've spent With the lessons you've explained. Although we've had unhappy hours, And many pleasant days, Yet we have ever kept in mind That labor always pays. Dear classmates, now the time has come, And we shall have to part, Yet may we ever look to God With a pure and faithful heart. Our teachers, friends and schoolmates dear, We bid you all farewell, And may our memories ever cling To the school we love so well. -ETHEL Louise Honn George Henry Anderson Mary Louise Anderson Doris Nellie Ballard Robert Alexander Bancroft Chester Lord Burnham Percy George Campbell Charles Andrew Canning Clifford Ray Canning Thomas Hunter Cairns Eugene Wescott Charles Fleta Bragdon Chick John Howard Cotton Laura Elizabeth Crawford Dorothy May Dolley Walter Linwood Dowling CLASS OF 1926 President-George Henry Anderson.

Leo Campbell is on his way, Brut Shimmy Chamard has had his day. Hannaford is in the habit of receiving cold-sores, But we think to Hawkins they'd be a bore. Gerry and Jensen mite be on the level, If they would partake of a little more revel. Nappy and Powers are a little fun, But when they see a girl they start on the run. CWhich way?J Winslow and Thomas are pretty good boys, Altho Teddy likes sleighrides, and Paul likes noise-like fun. Ar LAs'r We have discovered Elinor Glyn's It, Pat Sullivan is just the baby to fit. Boys may come and boys may go, They may be fast or they may be slowg They may be short or they may be tall, But we prefer them-NOT AT ALL. GIRLS Girls will be girls, so they say, And you bet they are all right in every wayg -50- To prove that we know what we're talking about, just feast your eyes on the following spout. Take Ruth Barker and Olive Blake, They drive their Fords like Studebakers-8. As for Dorothy Dowling and Myrle Elwell, Dot's a swell smithy, and Myrle is some gal. Now Dot Foster a forestry expert, And petite little Mildred never shirks her work. Glenna Keller is the champion sleigh-ride girl, And Marjorie King sets them all a-whirl. Look at Jean Macdonald and Theresa Labrecque, jean knows her kitchen and Tess picks her steps. Reba comes from Windham and that's enuff, Also, Arlene Merrick can put up a good bluff. To Leola Miller, Baldwin has its appeal, And Mildred Mushreau will never squeal. Now Rose Porello tolerates the boys, To Dot Reny, Rumford has its joys. Polly Smith is very O. Kay, While Etta Spiller's eyes will save the day. Girls are sweet and girls are fair, Indeed they are wanted, everywhere, And now we'll sign off with this closing prayer, Boys, please don't get sore at our slams so rare. Westbrook High Sohool DR.

Special mention should also at this time be given to the substitutes who are working faith- fully under the supervision of Coach Philbrook for the sake of the team. These girls are Edcl Kloth, Wilma McBride, Beatrice Doucette, jean Macdonald, Carolyn Emery, Edith Crawford, Lisette Bettez, Loraine Drinkwater, Hazel Hanna, Florence Douglas, Eugenia Coombs, Sylvia Robin- son, Beatrice King, Elinor Fraser, Gladys Sawyer, Thelma Grendell. Several others came at the be- ginning of the season but have discontinued for various reasons. Up to date we have played thirteen games of our schedule arranged by Manager Sutermeister, with the leading schools of our locality, winning nine and losing four. One of the feature games was that with Free- port played at Westbrook on February 5. The Freeport aggregation had a Very strong team. The game was quite close at the beginning, but after the half Westbrook went into the lead, com- ing through with the score 20-11, a victory for Westbrook. As Freeport had beaten Portland and Westbrook had been defeated by Portland, it was a keen battle until the final whistle. Another game of importance was with Bidde- ford at Biddeford, February 11. This team had a good standing and was fast on the floor, but due to the work of our speedy forwards, Mildred Mushreau and Marjorie King, Westbrook man- aged to keep the ball the greater part of the time and came thru with a victory 25-16.

JEAN MACDONALD, '27, BOYS' BASKETBALL Basketball for the third time in as many con- secutive years settled itself firmly in the heart of every Westbrook fan as the game in which West- brook has its greatest success. This season was the most successful Westbrook ever had, if we consider the obstacles the boys were forced to overcome. Coach Young faced a drastic outlook when he called out his playing their only men on a full year's the 1927 squad. Sullivan and Chamard last season for Westbrook were the the team who had been benefited by experience. Around these veterans coach placed three newcomers, thus breaking up the team work which was present during the latter part of the 1926 season. The opening game of the schedule found West- brook pitted against the Alumni, a team of ex- stars. When the Blue rolled to a decisive victory over this team, every Westbrook fan became so filled with confidence that Westbrook was imme- diately hailed as a successor to the team of '25. Following its opening victory, Westbrook fought two or three hard games in which it was both winner and loser. With but a few of its contests over, the Blue hit a slumpg its teamwork became ragged, and several games slipped through its hands to lower the chance of going to the Bates Tournament. It was only the Fighting spirit of the boys and the remarkable leadership of Capt. Sullivan that kept the team from losing all hope of even making a Westbrook High School L . C .

This final contest was undoubtedly an important basis for selecting Westbrook to compete in the Bates Tournament, for Portland was given the hardest battle it had played during the year. Had the game been played on any other floor than Port- land's, the Westbrook boys would have brought home a victory. Two days after the completion of its schedule, the papers announced that due to its remarkable latter season drive, Westbrook had been chosen to go to the Bates Tournament. Even though it True to Westbrook's style the team came through and in doing so made history, for at no previous time did one of the four local high schools defeat the outer three in a space of two days to win a championship. With 'the Bates Trophy representing the Cham- pionship of Western Maine tucked safely away, the Blue expressed willingness to battle Bar Har- bor, the Eastern Champs, for the supremacy of the State.

Again Westbrook scribbled in its History Book, for the 1927 Basketball Team was its first State Championship team. To complete the most successful year the school ever had in sports, Westbrook received an invitation to partic- ipate in the tournament deciding the National Championship. To attend this tournament held in Chicago would make the playing season too long while the trip is too great a distance, therefore the invitation was declined. The Deering-Westbrook game was perhaps the most thrilling of the tournament. The game was between the two largest teams of the tournament, both fighting grimly toward the semi-finals with a mile-a-minute pace. The first quarter opened with Westbrook walk- ing up and down the fioor to hang up an 8-2 lead. The second quarter found the Deering teamwork more united, so Westbrook was forced to open up to maintain its lead. Robinson of Deering startled the crowd with three beautiful shots, while Stebbins popped in another to give Deering a total of twelve. West- brook, headed by Sullivan and Chamard, put the brake on Deering's offensive work and dropped in enough scores to head the Purple by two points. The opening of the secondhalf was another out- break of the battle. Deering strove to overcome the team that seemed to cover the whole fioor, that cut down her offense and threatened the basket. The Purple drew first blood in this half when Mace dropped one in to tie the count 16 all. VVestbrook surged on, carrying the Deering team before it to have Libby cage a beauty, giving the Blue the lead. Again Mace sifted through the Westbrook defense to tie the count. The playing of both teams became more rapid and Sullivan streaked down the side to score. Robin- son soon put Deering even by a pretty one-hand toss. For the first and only time during the game Deering held the lead when Stebbins came through with a pretty shot. In true Westbrook style, the Blue fought on to the finish in a snappy but cool and determined manner. Deering threw all its reserve -into its defense, but Chamard. receiving the ball under the Westbrook basket, streaked the length of the floor to give the crowd a perfect exhibition of dribbling and the ideal manner of coming through in a pinch to tie the score. The announcement of three minutes -to go urged the play on to its highest pitch, Westbrook earning its lead with a pretty shot, while Deering com- pleted her score with Stephen's foul.

Westbrook, having defeated two of the strongest contenders, faced South Portland in the battle which would decide the supremacy of Western Maine. In the same form which defeated its former opponents the Westbrook Ironmen smothered South Portland. This final game was not of the usual type, as the Westbrook team improved with each contest. As in the two preceding tournament games Captain Sullivan was the spirit of the team, while Chamard and Roma teamed with him offen- sively. The defensive work was of the same high standard of perfection which characterized the preceding game with Portland High. The final score was Westbrook 20, South Portland 12. The line-up remained unchanged throughout the tournament, although Westbrook had good sub- stitutes to call upon when needed. The victory over Deering raised Westbrook stock considerably, but the Blue was given only the slightest of chance to take Portland. The favorites of the tournament opened the game by keeping just one jump ahead of the Blue to have Agger, McDonough and Flaherty pull Portland out ahead 12-6 at the close of the first half.

The Westbrook boys now found themselves and rolled on unstoppable. Two baskets followed by a foul gave Westbrook an even break, then Roma c-aged another beauty to put Portland two points behind. The finish of the game was in sight and victory was within West- brook's grasp so the boys opened up. Chamard, Roma, and Sullivan hammered the basket with ringcrs while the Portland backs worked desper- ately to prevent more scoring. During the final moments of play, the Blue eased out an eleven-point lead. The credit of Westbrook's scoring power goes to Chamard, Roma, and Sullivan, while Agger did much to prevent them from rolling in many more shots. WI-:s'rBRooK C251 PoR'rLANn C161 G. F. P. G. F. P.

The game opened in the usual manner, with Westbrook's opponents getitng the jump to lead the Blue at the end of the first quarter. Then, after the manner which has won them fame, the Paper City team cut loose to smash Bar Harbor's defense and cripple their offense. This rally, by which the team has smothered its opponents dur- ing the latter part of the first, or the beginning of the second half, is due to the remarkably fine con- dition which Coach Young trimmed his men to. So tiring was the grueling pace set by Westbrook that after its first quarter's assault on the basket, Bar Harbor became too tired to carry on at the same pace, while Westbrook had just found its stride. The end of the first half found Westbrook well out in front. Throughout the evening Chamard played an exceptionally fine game, he sparkled in every play and scored all of Westbrook's points during the second quarter. The third quarter found the game lacking in interest as Westbrook pressed on, increasing its lead in a gradual manner, while Bar Harbor sought vainly to find the basket. In the last quarter Bar Harbor fought the Blue back for an instant to begin a rally, but this ended abruptly when Capt. Sullivan pulled his team to- gether, and to make things look better, popped in a pretty shot while standing directly beneath the basket. Wesrmzoorc C231 BAR HARBOR C141 G. F. P. G. F. P.

For the fourth consecutive sea- son the Westbrook boys won the Telegram League Trophy, and this time by an unbroken string of victories. The season was opened by a pre-league game with Morse, and Westbrook smashed out a 6-1 win. The Telegram League, having some unusually strong teams, presented dangerous foes in Bidde- ford, Catholic, and South Portland, but all suc- cumbed to the Blue and White. In a post-season game Westbrook defeated South Portland 1-0. At this game the Telegram League Trophy was presented to Capt. Charlie Canningg the admiring fans showed their appre- ciation of Husky Aube's good work by present- ing him with a fine writing set, and the school awarded sweaters to the members of the cham- pionship team.

Although thus handicapped by inexperience the Blue and White completed a very successful season. The 1926 schedule consisted of eight games, four of which were played on the W-arren League Grounds 5 out of town games were played at Thornton, Auburn, South Portland and Portland. Aube crashing behind Sullivan and Hay made a threatening, dependable offence. On October 3, Westbrook fell before Thorn- ton by an 8-0 score. Westbrook, surprised by the powerful offence and stubborn defence of their opponents, w-as unable to get going and in the final quarter allowed the Crimson to score. Aube and Walker worked well on the defence.

Urged on by the sting of that previous defeat Westbrook crashed, battered and passed its way to a 24-0 win. Offensively the team completed play after play with absolute accuracy. On the defence the line was so very consistent that Edward Little was un- able to gain a single first down by plunging. Chandler and Brawn were Westbrook's best for- wards. On October 16, Biddeford visited Westbrook. The game was an interesting contest ending with both teams in possession of 6 points. Early in the contest Westbrook scored and for nearly all of the game kept Biddeford on the defence. In the final quarter one of Biddeford's forward passes fell into Morin's arms and he stumbled over the goal line to tie up the game. Sinclair and Sullivan were the outstanding linemen. On October 23, Westbrook entertained Morse at the Warren League Grounds. The contest was all Westbrook, the Blue winning 39-0, the largest score attained by the Westbrook boys this season. Powers led the offence with several long runs and two touchdowns, McBride made good gains and Aube and LeBeau carried on a beautiful passing game. In the first of its three local contests, Westbrook defeated South Portland 6-0. The game was a gruelling contest from start to finish, the Blue and the Capers being two well matched teams and each fighting with grim determination. With the first quarter nearly gone, a South Portland fumble bounded into Walker's arms -and Westbrook seized its first opportunity. Aube and LeBeau crashing the Crimson line for successive gains put the ball on South Portland's 25-yard line. Behind a per- fect interference McBride skirted left end for the long run of the game, being stopped on the 2-yard line. South Portland stuck immovable before their goal while the Westbrook backs hammered away three downs, gaining but a yard before the close of the first quarter. On the first play of the sec- ond quarter, the last down, Aube shifted to full- backg every Westbrook man gave his best, South Portland was shoved back and Husky crunched over the goal line for the only score of the game. The remainder of the game was closely contested but with Aube and McBride stabbing the South Portl-and line for substantial gains and with Sulli- van and Barbour nailing play after play West- brook kept out of danger. On November 6, in the most bitterly contested game of the schedule, Westbrook humbled Port- land 9-6. In the course of the game Westbrook encountered enough bad breaks to destroy the spirit of a less determined team, but the boys were in this game to win, and each of the unfavorable decisions urged the team to give its best. In the first quarter a blocked punt rolled out of the West- brook end zone to give the team a two point lead. Until the latter part of the second period the lead was kept, but then, due to a short punt, Portland was in scoring distance. Westbrook was unable to check the rally and Portland fought its way to the first touchdown of the contest. In the third quarter Chandler picked up a Portland fumble and raced thirty yards to cross the goal line, only to be called back because an ofiicial had accidently declared the play completed before it had been stopped. At the opening of the fourth quarter Westbrook gave its best and Portland began to lose ground. With the period more than half gone Portland was fighting on its own territory, but could not gain enough ground to force the Westbrook boys out. Then Westbrook started the long march that ended with the loss of the ball on Portland's 10-yard line. Even though the team's spirit remained chances of scoring were few. On the next play a hard tackle pulled the ball from a Portland m-an's arms, to give it to Westbrook on the Big Blue's 9-yard line with but 47 seconds to play. Aube skirted left end to reach the half- yard mark before being pushed outsideg on the next play he went through center to cross the goal line. A perfect drop-kick gave Westbrook her final point. The entire Westbrook team played good ball but without the unusually good work of Pat Sulli- van and Husky Aube, Westbrook would have found the final score less satisfying. On Armistice day Westbrook concluded its schedule by losing to Deering 12-7. The playing conditions were badg the field being frozen in places and coated with thick mud in others. In Westbrook High School I 71 spite of the cold weather, the largest crowd to see a football game on the Warren League Grounds this season, attended. The game was exciting but Westbrook supporters were disappointed when their team slumped in its final test and failed to display more than once, and then only for a short time, what it was capable of doing. The contest was an uncertain thing from start to finish, but Deering led throughout the first half due to Wilson's recovery of a fumble. The sec- ond half found Westbrook in proper spirit and the team rolled unstoppable for 80 yards to score its only touchdown. From then on the teams fought evenly. In the final quarter Deering gained its decision by falling on a blocked punt that rolled across the Westbrook goal line. The Westbrook v, ., players who showed their real ability were Sulli- van, Aube and Hay.
