At the many va- rious ports entered, this vessel has shipped her cargo of school activities, interests, and histories. Her completed log is now presented you in the form of the 1928 edition of the BLUE AND VVHWE. The Captain and his crew hope that the in- spectors of this log be satisfied and entertained enough to recommend that this ship be made fast at the dock of success,--and not of failure. AN AUDITORIUM FOR GRADUATION Statistics give ample proof that, in June of each year, Westbrook High School gradu- ates a larger number of Seniors than in the preceding year. Every senior class has had its problems, but the outstanding problem of late is to find a suitable hall in which to ad- minister the last rites of old Viiestbrook High. In past years the ceremony has taken place in a church of the city or in the Star Theatre. But it is hard to find a church which has a large enough seating capacity even for the parents of the Seniors, not to mention other people who would enjoy being present at graduation. O It is true that the Star Theatre is large enough to seat the audience, but even in this building difficulties arise. Following the cus- toms of decades ago, the class should march down the aisles, and onto the platform. How- ever, the aisles are so situated and are so .nar- row that it is not easy to march effectively, and besides there is no convenient way to ascend to the platform. Moreover, is not grad- uation to be considered as a sacrament, and is a theatre the appropriate place to conduct a sacrament? In view of all these disadvantages, it should be generally accepted that an auditorium is a great necessity to Westlnrook High School. A new auditorium would in a comparatively short time pay for itself, so to speak, because not only could it be used for graduation, but also for events, such as lectures, Parent- Teachers' meetings, and the presentation of the high school plays. So, boosters and citizens of VVestbrook, why not all unite as one and strive mightily to pro- duce the needed funds for the addition of an auditorium to Westlnrook High School. You can rest assured of receiving the most cordial and warm thanks of both the present students and the alumni of the school dear to all. W. H. S. SHOULD AWARD LETTERS FOR PUBLIC SPEAKING AND DRAMATIC ACTIVITIES In NVestbrook High School rewards for athletic achievements are commong rewards for dramatic and public speaking achieve- ments do not exist. Westbrook High School 7 Nothing is more gratifying than to succeed. The symbol of success in athletics is the let- ter. When a boy is presented his letter by the coach he feels that he has reached the fulfill- ment of his long cherished desires. A letter is not a momentary reward, but a reward which will last forever. Thus, the boy who succeeds in athletics is able at any time in his life to show to the world what he did for his school. But what can the boy who succeeds in pub- lic speaking or dramatic work in Westlvrook High School show to the world for his achieve- ments? A person who is naturally inclined toward dramatic work, or public speaking puts as much. if not more time and energy into his work than the athlete does in his. The actor or the orator has the center of the stage while his work is creating an interest, but when the event is over he has nothing to show for his time and trouble. Some of his fellow students will remember the results of his effortsg the majority will forget him and his work. In order to do justice to all and not show partiality, I think Westlmrook High School should give letters to her students who take part in the assembly play and prize speaking contests. OUTING CLUB There is nothing in the nature of a social organization that is more beneficial to a high school than an Outing Club. Undoubtedly the most important elements of the school life are the studies. However, every ordinary boy or girl requires recreation of some sort. Being too studious is sometimes detrimental to the mind. Therefore, enjoyable diversions are necessary. The three seasons, which are included in the school year. offer a variety of fine sports. Nature does not mean that we neglect the great opportunities with which she furnishes us. but, that we take advantage of them. The organizing of an Outing Club would employ these opportunities to the best advantages, both for the students, who were .vitally inter- ested, and for the school. Fall is that glorious time of year when long hikes into nature's own beauty would furnish pleasure as well as knowledge of the world of natural art. The club could arrange interest- ing activities varied in many ways. During the winter season the Outing Club would, per- haps, prove most successful. It is at this time that one feels the need of vigorous exercise, such as skating, snowshoeing, skiing, and many others. By careful management these sports would bring the club jolly times. The springtime provides us with several pleasing sports. Tennis is one of the most popular games of this season. Outdoor track meets are the delight of every sport-loving youth. An Outing Club would be beneficial to the students who were members. As the saying goes, Good health makes a sound mind. What is better for one's health than fresh air? An Outing Club would also be beneficial to the school. Through the powers of the stu- dent, the school is raised or lowered to a cer- tain standard. An Outing Club would be a success only by the co-operation of the mem- bers. This would lead to a better school spirit, sportsmanship, and a greater social life. Let us encourage the development of an Out- ing Club for VVestbrook High School. PUBLIC SPEAKING It is much to be regretted that public speak- ing has been absent from our high school courses for two years. Not only is this a drawback in itself, but it is even more so to those who go on to other schools, since in all probability they will be obliged to carry without credit, or at least as an extra, the study which they have missed. Of course there are advantages and disad- vantages in connection with public speaking, but the former so far eclipses the latter that it would seem advisable for every pupil to have a full year's practice. The first few weeks are undoubtedly hard, especially for the timid person. However even he soon gains confi- 'A The Blue 6- White 8 dence in himself and learns to speak at ease before any audience. Too much can scarcely be said in regard to the value and benefit derived from training in public speaking. It gives one perfect control of himself and enables him to express his views in a clear and concise manner. All the world pauses to listen to the man who can say exactly what he means and mean exactly what he says. There is no profession in which one may not at some time be called upon to express his opinion. Even though he may be best in- formed in his subject, if he can not convince others of this, he is left behind. Thus he loses opportunities for advancement, while others are promoted because of their supposedly greater ability. A word might also be said in regard to prize speaking. Of course not every one can win a prize, but the possibility of such an honor arouses enthusiasm in the competitors and spurs them on to better work. Even though they win nothing in the way of prizes, their efforts will have certainly not been wasted and may prove invaluable to them in later life. WESTBROOK HIGH,S SPORT STANDING I wonder if people generally realize the ath- letic achievements of Westbrook High School during the past five years. For the past live years Vlfestbrook High School's successes. which have won the admiration and envy by her opponents are unusually remarkable. A small school whose total attendance never reached -L00 members competing with schools of two or three times that number, except one or two schools, such as Thornton Academy. which has about the same enrollment as VV. ll. S., and coming out vfctorious has to be considered as a school of unusual merit. Although VV. H. S. only participates in three major sports, she has always been able to up- hold her end in them. Her teams are famed and feared for always doing the unexpected. XYestbrook is generally a good drawing card also, because she is always in the game and Fighting to the last bell. For the most part her clean sportsmanship is never questioned. Her coaches i.nsist on this. Her players individually have won honor and standing. Her alumni stars are in demand everywhere. Some have become famous ath- letes in higher schools of knowledge or at least have lived up to their high school rating. Nearly every year, for the last five, some Vlfestbrook players have been either high-point men or picked for all-team, a few of the recent being Charmard, Sullivan, LeBeau, Aube, He- bert, McLellan and many others, most of whom are continuing to star in other schools. Of course, the girls also come into promi- nence, having won a state championship in 1924, and twice being runners-up under the coaching of Milton Philbrook. A large hand- some shield. presented by appreciative citizens of Westbrook, hangs in the library as a me- morial of that championship. VVe might add here that during this last year girls' field hoc- key has been introduced into the school sports. Besides this shield, from 1923 to 1928. W. H. S. has ten other tokens of superiority in sports. Six of these are baseball awards. one of which is a silver bat and ball presented by J. A. Merrill for the highest team batting aver- age. The other five are large beautiful Sun- day Telegram League cups. Imagine! The cup for 1923 is a tie for championship with Biddeford and the other r011.w'r1ffiz'r' four, 1924, 1925, 1926, and 1927 are Cl1a11Lpi011.s'11ifvs. ls there any other school in the Telegram League likely to be able to produce such a record, tak- ing in consideration the smallness of VVest- brook High? NVe are from Missouri Ban- quets, entertainments and lordly favors have been the citizens' answer to the teams and their coaches. VVe appreciate them. The other four cups are proofs that VV. ll. S. came thru in basketball for a good record. Besides being runners-up in a New England Basketball Championship at Tufts one year. she has also entered the tournament at Bates several times. Twice XYestbrook brought home the bacon. First, a beautiful Bates' Col- Westbrook High School 9 lege Interscholastic Basketball Trophy Cup for Championship of Western Maine, March 13-14, 19253 and second, a handsome Bates' College Western Maine Championship Basket- ball Trophy. a large mounted silver basketball, March 11-12, 1927. Who will forget the rise of the under-dogs, The Five Iron Men, Sullivan, Charmard, Libby, LeBeau and Roma? Nobody who saw the play in both memorable occasions, Bates Tournament and the first actual play-off for State of Maine Basketball Championship, where the Five lron Men swept Bar Harbor off their feet at the Lewiston Armory so that the dear old name, Westbrook High School might be an- nexed to the famed Brown Alumni University State Champs Cup, and the tall permanent State Champs in Basketball Cup might be added to the library collection. Those two cups make up that four. So there you are. A great deal of the school's successes in baseball has been clone to loyal support on the part of the citizens of Westbrook, headed by the Booster's Committee and alumni. Therefore does it not seem that the little City of Westbrook gives birth to natural ath- letic stars and teams, while we proudly submit these proofs of superiority in sports for live TO THE ALUMNI Special attention is directed to the Alumni Department of this edition. Miss Carrie Chick, the Alumni Editor, has listed the vale- dictorians and salutatorians from 1890 to the present date. Also in this department many other items of interest to the alumni have been published.

The officials were nom- inated and elected in Ward and general cau- cuses exactly as the regularly nominated and elected officials are, from the formation of the Republican and Democrat city committee to the actual taking over the reins of the munici- pal government. The plans and elections were sponsored by The XVestbrook Rotary Club for the sake of educational value to the future voters, such as the experience of holding an office, value of citizenship, and the necessity of a thorough knowledge of the machinery of politics. The five wards of the City took up the four high school classes and the eighth grade. VVard caucuses and voting were carried on in the high school. Both parties showed interest and common sense in the nominations and votings. john VV. llay, on the Republican ticket. for Mayor, defeated Pat Sullivan, Democratic nominee, by a margin of thirteen votes. The remaining officers elected were as follows: City Clerk, john Gerry CRD, the three alder- men-at-large, Roland Chamard, Henry C. Hey, and Charles L. Sawyer, all republicansg School Committee at large, Duane Allen KRD. The ward officials were elected by Republican vote. Mayor john received the City reins from Mayor Eugene T. Cummings, and immediately the council went into session. Mayor john gave his father's inaugural address. Then the council elected Charles Sawyer as President of council. After that third readings were read on some bills and were voted over to the next meeting. Mayor john made his appoint- ments from Street Commissioner to Dog- catcher with very good judgment. All the officers performed their respective duties the whole day successfully. After adjournment of the City Council meet- ing, the Board of Aldermen went into session and made the remaining standing committee appointments. The students wish to thank the members of the Rotary Club for their interest in the high school. Vtfe must say that we all enjoyed and benefited from the management of the govern- ment for a whole day and we hope that other students may have the same opportunities as we have had. During Boys' Week, sponsored by the West- brook Rotary Club, the members of the State Championship Basketball Team were guests of the Rotarians at the Congregational Church for a dinner banquet. Each Rotarian had a high school student as a guest also. The boys enjoyed their dinner very much and ex- ceedingly enjoyed the amusing entertainment put on by different individuals of the Club. George Rrackett '28, Norwood Macdonald '28, and Cole Kelley '28 wrote and delivered orations preparatory to entering the National Oratorical Contest. The former was selected by the judges to represent the school in the district contest to be held the latter part of March. The winner of the district contest enters the state contest, and the winner of the state contest will take part in the National Contest. This is the fifth National Gratorical Contest, and the first time that Westlarook High has entered into the competition. The winner of the National Contest wins a free trip abroad. 12 The Blue VVhite Miriam Boothby '28, Doris Baker '28 and Olga Makowski '28 prepared essays in the American Chemical Society Prize Essay Con- test. Miss Baker wrote on The Relation of Chemistry to National Defense, Miss Ma- koWski's essay was on The Relation of Chem- istry to the Enrichment of Lifef' and Miss Boothby wrote on the Relation of Chemistry to the Home. The Pequawket Tribe of Red Men, No. 17, offered three prizes for the three best essays on the Character, Customs, and History of the North American Indian. At this time it is too early to name the winners, but a large number are planning to submit essays or have already completed them. The prizes are fif- teen, ten and five dollars for the first, second and third prize respectively. The iudges un- der the terms of the offer are to be Rev. Harry E. Townsend, Mr. Milan O. Welch and one member of the high school faculty. On Thursday, March 22d, the trials for the annual prize speaking contest. held under the auspices of the Stephen W. Manchester Post, resulted in the selection of the following named to take part in the contest. At this writing the date of the contest has not been definitely settled, but it will take place some time during the second week of April. The selections are as follows: Kathryn Small, Linwood Lagerson, Leigh Hoar, Dwight Leighton, Owen Pride, Ruth Walker, Marion Robinson, Violette Pratt, Ruth McLellan. Catherine Hebert. On March 23d. forty boys of the high school and the various churches of the city went to Brunswick to attend the Cumberland County V. M. C. A. Conference. Herbert Crawford '29 is Secretary of the Boys' Conference. Tuesday, March 20th, Lester C. Ayer, Man- ager of the Portland District of New England Telephone and Telegraph Co. came to West- brook High and before an assembled group of nearly 370 students and teachers demonstrated with the aid of several employees of the Tele- phone Company the use of the telephone and switchboard. This exhibition, which was per- haps the most interesting and instructive ever put on in the high school, consisted of a series of calls illustrating how both toll and local calls are put through. These calls were highly entertaining and instructive, both as to their nature and the various processes necessary in order to put them through. This demonstration has been given all over New England before high schools, normal schools, colleges, and various service clubs, showing the use of that marvel of the age, the telephone. From this exhibition the student should not only have learned how the operators in the office carry on their work, but also that if the subscriber expects good service, the best way to get it is to co-operate with the company in every way possible. On a bright, sunny morning at 6.40 a. m.. one hundred Five members of the junior and senior classes of Westbrook High School boarded the Augusta bound train at Wood- fords Station. This came about by the invita- tion of Senator Speirs and the assistance of the Rotary Club, which donated fifty cents on each ticket, thus placing the cost of the fare well within the means of the students, one dollar sixty-five cents a round trip. The date of the trip has been postponed from Friday to NVednesday of the following week, owing to the death of Senator Carter. Upon their arrival at 9.20 a.m., they were received by Senator and Mrs. Speirs. Imme- diately going to the State House, they attended a session of the House of Representatives, where the students enjoyed the heated discus- sion of an automobile bill which was passed at that meeting. At ten o'clock, guided by Senator Speirs, the party went directly to the Senate Chamber to attend the session which had been postponed VVestbrook High School an hour for the benefit of the students. The meeting was opened with a prayer by the Rev- erend Roderick Macdonald of our party. Dur- ing the session the high school students lis- tened to the regular routine, a bill concerning bounty on bears, and a bill pertaining to the Lewiston Police Commission. The debate of the latter was long and fervent. Directly following the adjournment of the Senate, the students were received by Gov- ernor Brewster, who gave a very interesting and beneficial talk on the work of the legisla- ture and the process of legislation. He shook hands with each member of the party. Before going to the Augusta House, the stu- dents returned to the Senate Chamber, where the State Commissioner of Education, Dr. Augustus O. Thomas, gave them a talk show- ing the greater advantages of the present day than those of past generations. While both the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate gave short addresses of welcome, the Boy Mayor and his council occupied the Senate ofhcials' chairs. At one o'c1ock the students were the guests of Senator and Mrs. Speirs for dinner at the Augusta House. After the dinner hour, the party visited the Governor's Home, the Blaine Mansion, and saw there the marvelous fur- nishings and relics. The remainder of the time was used by the students in exploring every nook and corner in the capitol building, espe- cially the high dome. The State Museum at- tracted and interested the boys and girls greatly. At length the party gathered at the station to take the 3.40 train for home. Many tired and happy young people discussing the events of the day enjoyed the ride back to Wood- fords Station. A few days later every member of the party became the proud possessor of a large picture of Governor Brewster. ...i.., The members of the football team were given a banquet at the VVestbrook Tavern, following the season of 1927. The host was -v '3 Harry Hay, father of the stalwart captain of the team, john Hay. The banquet was very much appreciated by those present and all re- gretted that Mr. Hay was unable to be there. Speeches were made by Capt. John Hay, Coach Young, Ginger Fraser, Milton Philbrook, and Frank Farrington. Capt.-elect Donald Brawn pledged his best efforts to turn out a championship team next fall. While Mr. Young was unable to coach the football team in the early fall, Frank Farring- ton volunteered his services and carried on the work of the first two weeks of the season. This generous spirit- on the part of Mr. Far- rington helped the team to get started on time so that no postponements or delays were neces- sary in beginning our schedule. Following the winning of the state cham- pionship in basketball at Lewiston last year by defeating Bar Harbor High School, the mem- bers of the team were the guests of honor at a banquet given by the Kiwanis Club. The ban- quet was held at the Columbia Hotel. This proved to be a fitting close to a splendid season. Last March, 1927, the school was honored with a visit from Augustus O. Thomas, the Commissioner of Education, of which the late Senator Speirs of VVestbrook was Chairman. The girls of the domestic science cooking class served a breakfast to the members of the Com- mittee under the direction of Miss Byrne of the H o m e Economics Department. Mr. Thomas gave a very interesting talk on honor and duty in the classroom, and a few remarks were made by the members of the Committee. This year a new plan in regard to assembly programs has been followed, with very good results. A committee, composed of members from each class, has, with the aid and direc- tion of Mrs. Donald Vifight, prepared a pro- 14 The Blue ef vvi-me gram for every month. The first one was given as a welcome to the Freshman class, and the others, with the exception of the one re- garding prohibition, have been along more general lines. Those possessing any musical or dramatic ability have been most kind in lending their services. Talks on various sub- jects have been given by members of the stu- dent body. It is planned to have a program consisting entirely of music. So far these as- sembly programs have proved most successful, and have furnished pleasing entertainment for everyone. The members of the committee are Marjorie Burns, Irene Sinclair, Gertrude Hardy, Henry Teague, Richard Porter, Effie Knowlton, and Hazel Hanna. The assembly play, Honor Bright, which will be presented at the Star Theatre, promises to be as entertaining as the former plays, espe- cially since many of those taking part have had a great deal of experience in the past. The coach is Mrs. Nan Hatch. The cast of char- acters is as follows: Honor Bright .................. ........ D orothy Blair Richard Barrington Mrs. Barrington ........... Bishop Carton ...........

The Lincoln Prize Essay Contest sponsored by The Illinois VVatch Company was won by Miss Carrie Chick of the class of 1928. A valuable addition was made to the teach- ing staff in the high school at the beginning of the second semester this year when Mrs. Nan Hatch of Damariscotta was engaged to teach English and to coach the annual as- sembly play.

Thus ends the day. N. K. MACDONALD. CHINOOK Yes, he must get the furs out before Dan got back from Lassing. This was the thought of Bull Lefebre as he sat before the little cabin watching the arctic night come down. Le- fehre, a bearded, rough giant of a man, had en- tered Yukon with Dan McDermott for the express purpose of stealing the' winterls catch as soon as possible. Dan, in perfect good faith, had become his partner and now had about 33,000 worth of skins, his own. After coming to this decision, Bull arose and entered the cabin to prepare supper. This cabin was a model of neatness and efficiency. Viewed from the outside, its staunch log walls seemed able to withstand any onslaughts of winter storms. The interior was one room. The furnishings were of the most simple kind. Two bunks at one end, a table, two chairs Call hand madej and a stove were all that were in the room. A bearskin rug lent the only ap- pearance of comfort or luxury. As Bull was preparing supper, Daniel Mc- Dermot entered. He was a typical Scotchman, light complexioned, not very big. In fact, he was not as tall as Lefebre by fully seven inches, but he gave one an impression of tem- pered steel. One might compare the two men as a Damascus blade and a war club. Howdy, Bull, Dan shouted as he burst into the room. just look at this silver fox I got today. Did you ever see a finer fur? Must be worth at least ssoof' Dan did not catch the gleam that lighted Bullfs eye as he gazed on that superb fur. After supper, when the dishes had been washed and the men had settled down with their pipes, Bull turned and said, UI guess, Dan, you better go to Lassing day after to- morrow. VVe are getting short on supplies and we must stay here three weeks more at least. You will be back by Saturday at the most and I can handle both lines for three days, I guess. Sure, I'll go, Dan replied, I'll leave about 5.30 and can reach Lassing by noon the next day. I guess I can get back by Friday night. 16 The .next day Lefebre again got in First from his trap line. Again he sat in front of the cabin and dreamed of what he would do with the money he would get for Dan's catch. He decided to head east and try to reach a Hud- son Bay Post where he could dispose of his booty. Bright and early next day the partners were up. getting ready for Dan's trip to Lassing. The dogs, full of vim after their long rest, fought and played so that it was almost im- them. At last the sledge as Dan shook hands with possible to hitch stood ready and Iiull he remarked, I guess I'll stay in Lassing am afraid we are going to until Sunday. I have a storm and I don't want to be caught in it. Then waving goodby he disappeared around a bend in the trail. Bull watched him out of sight and then, put- ting on his snowshoes and picking up his riHe he set out for the line. It was a beautiful day. Great forest giants rose on either side of the trail. Glistening snow, five feet deep. covered the world. Everything seemed to sparkle in the crisp, exhilarating air. At the first trap Bill found a splendid Arctic rabbit. At the second there was n o th i n g, at the third. nothing, but in the fourth there lay a fox. The skin was in its prime and was worth about 3375. So through the day he went from trap to trap. At some he was rewarded, at others there was nothing. That night, when he had eaten. Bull looked over his furs and sorted them. In all, there was about 32,000 worth. I-Iowever, since he could not take both his and Dan's. he decided to leave his own. He knew that IJan's catch had been much better than his own. He did not dare to take the best of both for it would cast suspicion on him if he entered the Post with only A-1 furs. The next day there was an oppressive feel- ing in the air. It was heavy and warm and felt like rain. As Bull picked up Dan's pack, lie noticed this and decided that by all means he must make Fort I.ury before nightfall. He I The Blue fr VVhite strapped on his shoes, picked up his pack and rifle and started east. All morning he pushed on through the silent forest, not even stopping for dinner. With that gait of the experienced woodsman which eats up the miles, he had covered about twenty-tive miles at noon and still had forty to go. About four o'clock in the afternoon. Lefebre came to the edge of a clear- ing about three miles wide. With all signs of a storm about to break, the hunter would have remained in the shelter of the forest until it had passed. Not so Lefebre. Driven bv a guilty conscience and greed, he determined to push on. He had got about half way across the opening when, without warning, that hor- ror of the north, a chinook, broke. In an in- stant the air was filled with snow particles. It had grown bitterlv cold at the same moment and it was impossible for man to stand against it. Bull realized the necessity for speed so he opened the pack to select the best fur. As he did so, a terrible oath escaped his lips. In frenzy, he tore at the bundle and hurled the contents in all directions. He seemed suddenly to lose his mind. Instinct forsook him and hurling his ride to one side he started to run into the storm. The gale had risen to unbe- lievable heights and it beat and tore at the man. Finally he stumbled and fell to his knees. Struggling up again he forced on and was again beaten down by the storm. At length he stumbled and did not rise. In terror, he could not control his muscles and he lay still. As the snow drifted up, a feeling of warmth and drowsiness overcame him. The storm passed and only a heap of snow marked the passing of Bull Lefebre. In the meantime. Dan was enjoying the warmth and good cheer at Lassing. As he gave a long pull on his pipe he turned to his host and said, You know, before I left home, I made a bundle of the burlap bags we took the supplies in. I left it where it could be seen so that if anyone entered while Bull was out, they would take it and not hunt my furs. They are safe under the woodshedf' Norzwoon IXIACDONALD, '28.

A LAKE FROM DUSK UNTIL DAWN Across the quiet lake from the dim recesses of the ancient hills steal dismal shadows. The dusky twilight falls, then evening with its gloom and darkness, night with all the splen- dor of brilliant, moonlit watersg early morning with its dying glory, and last the bursting splendor of the dawn. The beauty of the sunset has faded. The cold shadows of dusk creep over sky and lake, and somber clouds lay their gloomy reflections on the dark green waters. The evening deep- ening into night casts its murky blackness into the sullen waves. Suddenly, as if by enchant- ment, the dismal shadows flee one by one, and in the lake, now calm, rests a silver reflection of the waning moon. Here and there, where the ripples are not overspread with moonlight, are the reflections of fleecy clouds. Near the shore are the images of dark green Hrs, while looming above them are the gleaming peaks of the purple mountains. Slowly, as if by an unseen hand, the bril- liancy of this scene is swept away and the path qf moonlight, which spread across the lake, has now nearly disappeared. In its place is a faint glimmer of departing stars and the white ghost of a waning moon. Then the light grows dimmer, as if being extinguished. It fades visibly, leaving a dark. cold mirror, which impresses one only by its cheerless, black depth. At last from the east comes a faint glow of the breaking day. The lake turns to a gray brown with a touch of yellow and dull rose. The water reflects dark gray clouds which look as if they were concealing a smoldering fire, then, suddenly, ' almost momentarily, these clouds separate. The sun bursts into a blaze of red. reflecting from rock to rock. The lake glows from the rocks and from the tinted sky, as though it were atlameg as if, mysteriously, it had been dyed to a crimson hue. WHAT CAUSES THAT? Cats and dogs live to ripe old ages with their wits and bodies in splendid shape, but sad to relatefl' Fords are not affected that way. Not hardly-for it is generally known that Fords, like the good, soon shake away worldly cares falso nuts, bolts, fenders, etcj and depart from this sordid sphere. At any rate-it was while I was last in New Haven to see my very honorable brother fthe gifted member of the familyj graduate, that he slyly broached the idea of my guiding home the mass of wreckage he was willing to believe was a car. Necessarily home, since the city authorities had ordered all rubbish off from the streets. I, of course, was quite elated at the prospect of a pleasant drive home and a car for my personal use-one which he said nobody would ever steal from me, because of a lock wheel, an ignition key numbered 59, and the last I didn't quite hear, but I understood him to say that the car had been used to frighten ugly dogs from the classrooms at Yale. Anyway, after an enjoyable stay in 740 Harkness Hall, about 5 A.M. on a cool .Tune morning, the Campus Cop and I succeeded in squeezing into the luxuriously decorated VVestbrook High School interior of the Miracle, as every Yale man knew and feared it, 4 Bridge Lamps 1 Phonograph 4 Fragile Shades 1 Desk Lamp 2 Heavy Suitcases 1 Small Chair 50 Voluminous Books 1 Derby Hat 1 Wooden Letter Chest 4 Pictures 12 Records 1 Saxophone I finally crawled in thru the left front window and bade farewell to the beautiful Yale Campus! Things progressed, we didn't travel so awfully fast, but still things progressed, until I had had breakfast in Hartford, when I en- joyed these happy little incidents intended, no doubt, to brighten the trip--lst, my brakes had to be taken up-2nd, I had a nice blowout -3rd, I had a nice blowout near Springfield- -lth, near Worcester I had a nice blowout- within twenty miles of Boston I had a nice blowout, and here left my watch as security for the necessary tire, since you don't pick up money as you do nails. Lastly, with all of these charming episodes, each and every one of the aforesaid articles of baggage came out, one by one, and slid back, one by one,-but not by themselves! I also found that I had two dandy electric horns, neither of which recognized my command, hence I was forced to whistle loudly to the traffic cops in the forty cities I glided thru. Now the Miracle, satis- fied for a while, crept along on all fours, dump- ing me Finally in Westlorook at 10.30 P.M., making a pleasant little jaunt of WM hours. Slightly better than walking iip, but still it's hard to decide. So we were home at last, but fate was against me, for the next morning in an effort to show the frankly amused neigh- bors a real car, I sallied forth, cranked her up, drove two feet and stopped-with another flat! I was now a member of the Ford-Owning Fraternity, I had had my initiation fthe trip homej, and I could swap experiences with other Ford owners. I was also becoming edu- cated, for before I had inherited this priceless gift I knew nothing of machinery. Now I knew that a four-cylinder engine frequently 19 runs on three and even two cylinders. I knew that a sputtering noise, several convulsive jerks and a flat refusal to go meant that my hand- some gasoline gauge from Grant's lied reck- lessly. I knew that when my lights flickered and my starter merely snickeredfl' my genera- tor had been having another bad spell-it often had fits. I, too, quickly learned that a noise like a twelve-inch gun was not Fort Wil- liams saluting the flag, but my front tire, which I later suspected of being bad. Al- though I had indulged that tire it persisted in letting me Cand the carj down! I knew that a steady banging, like a noisy 4th, was the nut on my exhaust pipe, loudly declaring its free- domg and that I was scheduled to reach for my wrench, take out the very clean floorboards and burn both hands on a sizzling pipe. This always happened on Friday night when a gang of us were headed for 01d Orchard. It was also impressed on me that if you attempted to crank it and forgot to set the emergency brake, it would run you down, and that a six- volt storage battery would shock tears out of you! To go on-after a summer of this torture, I was spinning along on a bright winter's day, mentally counting up the unlucky thirteen blowouts I had had, when I happened to step on the low, merely to press the lever y'know,1l2 when somehow something went wrong, for the darn thing instead of pounding as it normally did, began to whir, grind and gradually came to a dead stop. Well accustomed to walking now, I popped out and sauntered over to the Home for Crippled Fords for a tow. When we had eventually dragged it there I inno- cently inquired about the charge. As it hap- pened, it came to 75c. That may seem trivial to anyone outside the Fraternity, but to the already poor members it is a deathly sum. Naturally I reached deep into my pocket and, as usual, found it quite empty except for a small patch, the only thing that had dropped into it during the whole summer. This placed me in a difficult position, but feeling equal to 'kPoetry.

Sterling. The original idea was first intro- duced and supported by Mr. Sterling until it grew and proved its worth, when the city authorities took over its financial responsibili- tles. Today the class, composed of twenty- five interested students, constitutes one of the most versatile and important departments of the school. Throughout the year the class uses World Painters by Hoyt as a text book, delving deep into the lives of American and foreign painters of note. As a supplement to this, each student writes a 300-word summary of the life and works of a famous painter. In the field of crafts, the class has advanced to the making of hammered copper knives, which are finally etched with monograms. Leather also comes. under consideration, and from odd pieces are fashioned pocketbooks and billfolds, hand-tooled in various designs. A new feature this year is the making of textile designs. These, after being designed on large sheets, are actually worked out on blocks and printed on silks. The number of useful articles made is al- most unending, from plaster tiles to beautiful b ei n g and in painted handkerchiefsg everything worked out individually. In these, every case, originality is stressed as the key- note of an artists's makeup. As a finale to the year's work, Mr. Sterling practical plans a course in lettering, giving working knowledge of the form and meaning of each letter. ' Mr. Sterling, himself, who is well known for his excellent canvases, water colours and wood cuts, has recently completed a large canvas, the Call of October, which is to be shipped to the exhibition of the Society of Independent Artists of America. BILL VALLEE, '28, Music Department , The music department of VVestbrook High is very efficiently supervised by Miss .lo- sephine Briggs.

A graduate of the New England Consevatory of Music, Miss Briggs taught at York previous to coming to Westlwrook. ORCHESTRA The orchestra, one branch of the music de- partment, is gradually increasing each year, but still there is a lack of variety in i.nstru- ments, especially in the wind and reed section. Nevertheless, the orchestra does not lose its popularity. 34 The Blue er White This year its first public appearance was at the Teachers' Convention in the Portland City Hall. where it made a fine presentation and was enthusiastically received. It also has played at Parent-Teacher meetings and other entertainments. The personnel of the orchestra is as follows: First Violins: Norwood Macdonald, Rod- erick Macdonald, Frederick Fitzgerald, Joseph Tapley, Alice Bailey, Ernest Dolley, Antoi- nette Fortin, Marie Welch, Margaret Delaney, VVilson Herring, William Fairservice. Second Violins: Helen Lewis, Esther VVil- son, Flora Brouche, Victor Guiteau. Cello's: Eveleyn Randall, Mildred Bell. Bass Viol: Lola Gerry. Cornet: Irving Neilson. Clarinet: Elliott Smith. Saxophone: Richard Boothby. ' Drums: Charles Gerry. Piano: Miriam Boothby, Ethel VVaite. By graduation the orchestra will lose sev- eral of its best players. THE HIGH SCHOOL TRIO ' The High School Trio is one of the most popular instrumental ensembles the school has ever produced. In the fall of 1925 the trio was organized by Martha Wasson and under her careful training progressed amazingly. At that time Elsie Goodwin was the pianist, but last year she re- signed her position to Miriam Boothby. Since their freshman year the trio has advanced Commercial SHORTHAND Shorthand is a method by which spoken words are recorded. This study of shorthand develops several habits, namely, accuracy, self- control and alertness. all of which are needed in the business world and, in fact, all Walks of life. The object of shorthand is to give those who have memoranda a more elementary rapidly until at the present time it has a very enviable reputation. The organization is in constant demand for school entertainments, as well as for Civic and Social Clubs. Within the last year it broad- cast from the local station. NVCSH. The repertoire varies from semi-popular to the highest type of classical selections. Every programme has an excellent variety and bal- ance of offerings, giving each player an oppor- tunity to display his or her talents. Norwood Macdonald, the violinist is a pupil of David Fisher. His tone and technique show well his careful training. Evelyn Randall, the cellist, is the pupil of Mrs. Bertha L. Nichols of Danvers, Mass., a teacher in Maine Conservatory. Here also is an example of splendid teaching, which can be received only of the best of teachers. Miriam Boothby, the pianist, studied first with a local teacher and later with Mrs. I.il- lian NVollinberger at Westbrook Seminary. THE CHORUS The chorus this year numbers seventy-six. The chorus is studying principally this year. the old favorites and a few of the classics, also negro spirituals and other collections for mixed voices. The need of more tenors and bases is very evident and addition of a group of boys would be well received. As in other years, we still plead for better support of the music department. EVELYN RANDALL, '28, Department method of writing, plain, simple, and easily acquired. There are many systems of shorthand: the Gregg system being used in most of the high schools in the United States. This system is used in VVestbrook High School. It is a radical departure from everything that pre- cedes it. It is a light line system, there being 35 Westbrook High School l Q no shaded characters, two or three of Eve po- sitions, which characterize other systems are unknown, for all writing is on one line and vowels and consonants follow each other in natural order. The Pitman systems derive their characters from parts of the circumference and the radii of a circle. This system contains twenty-six characters. Light and heavy dots and dashes represent the vowels. VVhen a person has learned the positions in which they should be placed, he can write only slowly and very clumsily. Ry practicing diligently, a hundred words may be written a minute. The early history of shorthand is closely allied with palaeography and has been traced into antiquity. Antiouarians have tried to connect it with hieroglyphics. In the first cen- tury lii. C. Marcus Tullus Tiro. Cicero's secre- tary, invented a crude shorthand. Many peo- ple enlarged upon this 'system of writing until there were 13,000 characters. In the eighth century A. D., this art disappeared and was not revived until 1500 by Thomas Bright, an Englishman. The first French publication was that of -lacques Cossard, which appeared in 1679. The oldest German system was published in 1679. Gurney's is the oldest living system of English shorthand adapted to the French language. The countries of Europe and Great Britain are far in advance of the United States in making instructions in shorthand a material and essen- tial part of education. There must of course be rivalry and degrees of merit between systems, but every writer adapts his shorthand to his own personality. so that a good writer may employ an inferior method and a poor one may use a superior shorthand invention.

But what is more thrilling than to be told, Yes, we can use you. But on the other hand, what is more shocking to one's nerves than to be told, You don't seem to Ht the position we have open. Or what is sadder than. Sorry, but we have found someone for the position which we had open. just when you had made up your mind that you knew about everything that was worth knowing, and then not to Ell the bill! Yes, it is rather pitiful, and sometimes it hurts, but everyone gets over it. It doesnlt make any difference what profession you enter, there is always the door of Job Hunting to pass through before you can start to travel. There are two things which a beginner should bring before the mind of the one with whom he is dealing. First, he should state definitely that he is willing to learn, and to learn it the employer's wayg the second is to let the employer know he is not afraid to work. If you can convince your prospective employer that you are willing to learn and willing to work, and can prove it to him, he will realize that you are probably the one he is looking for and decide in your favor, or at least give you a trial. There are many ways of getting a position. If one does not work try another. Many schools supply their student with positions. Perhaps the most common means is the news- paper advertisements. If you try the news- papers, there may be hundreds answering the same ad. Be different, but be yourself. Don't pretend to be what you are not. Most news- paper ads must be answered by letter. Make your letter interesting. You have something to sell, and do not be afraid to let anyone know what you have. It is not necessary to brag or boast of what you can do, but do not neglect to state the facts regarding your ability. After the letter of application, if you are considered, you will be given a personal inter- view. Here is where you should make your best effort. Here are a few points.

Give him your attention. Should he ask you to take a letter, or do a little typing, don't get excited or nervous. Remember he may be just as nervous as you are, and sometimes a great deal more so. If you can do bookkeeping, tell him so. If you can't, say so. Don't pretend that you can do a thing when you know that you cannot. If you do, there may come a day when you will wish you had been honest to yourself and to the one who hired you. After you have a good business training and have found the right kind of job, there is only one thing left for you to do and that is to get to work. By that I mean you must be able to suit yourself to the position which you must fill and to the environment around you. There may be things asked you that you have never heard of before, there may be instruments used that you have never seen before, but it is up to you to find out about these things and make good. A business school cannot teach you everything. Neither can a mere office worker tell you everything there is to know. The stenographer or secretary of course will be called upon to take dictation. You may have trouble in understanding your dictator. Do not be afraid to ask him to say it over again. Once he knows that he is hard to un- Industrial THE INDUSTRIAL COURSE The Industrial Course has at present an en- rollment of about sixty pupils. Each year more enter the course and not far in the future more teachers or still more intensive teaching will be required. Much appreciation and credit are due to Mr. Alden, Mr. Boyce, and Mr. Given for their teaching and co-operation with the boys. Wle of the Industrial Course, would also like to take advantage of this opportunity to thank Mr. Thomas Smith of the S. D.

Be sure you have it right. The office appliances which you are expected to use should be studied carefully. Take care of them. Your employer will expect you to use them carefully. Do not leave your type- writer uncovered at night, nor let the type get dirty. Then, last of all, take an inventory of your- self and find out just what is lacking in you that would be an asset to your office. Deter- mine just what else you can do to help the' business along. Be friendly to all. If possi- ble, when visitors or customers come in, ad- dress them by their names. They will feel at home if you do. Make them welcome and they will be glad to do business with you. Be dignified in your dress. Do not be a slouch, nor should you wear finery, as if you were appearing at a coming-out party. Good sensible business clothes will win the favor of everyone. Donlt be stingy with your smiles! Every- body likes to see a person happy. Make your ofhce your home, put enthusiasm into your work, be happy, and everybody will be glad to have you around. NTARIAN SMITH. '28, Department Everything taught in the industrial course is practical and always of advantage to the pupil in the home and elsewhere, but the prin- cipal purpose of the course is to produce a mechanic. The special studies are mechanical drawing. industrial mathematics, and shop work. A mechanic must not be simply a la- borer but skilled in mathematics. carpentering, drafting and creating. The first year studies i n c l u d e general science, mechanical drawing, algebra, general woodwork, manual training, sheet-metal and forge work. The second year geometry, coin- 38 The Blue Er white mercial geography, mechanical drawing. auto- mobile constructive study, and one-half year of machine work are taught. Under the third and hardest year's studies come second-year algebra, physics or chemistry, mechanical drawing and machine shop and patent shop. Industrial science and mathematics. mechani- cal drawing, and shop complete the four years of study with the exception of English, which is, of course. necessary all four years. MACHINE SHOP A great deal of work has been accomplished this year in the machine shop. Each senior has made a large swivel vise, and several screw-jacks, each capable of lifting a ton, have been constructed by both juniors and seniors. Most of the time has been spent, however, by both classes in finishing the six-speed lathes which have been in the process of construction for two years. One lathe proper is completed and painted. It is expected that the other live will all be equally near completion by the mid- dle of June. VVe would like the citizens of VN estbrook to see for themselves what the course affords for their sons, and therefore we cordially invite them to inspect the machine and patent shops, either morning or afternoon. T H. L. TEAGUE, '28 THE PATTERN SHOP The machine shop is important in the indus- trial course, but it couldnlt be run without the pattern shop. Every part of machinery has to be made from a pattern of wood. Different kinds of wood may be used. but the best is white pine. The iron is moulded in wet sand and the mould is made from a pattern of wood. All metal shrinks some when it cools. Ee- cause of this the wooden pattern has to be made a little larger. So much is allowed also for the smoothing and finishing of the iron. The machinery used in making these patterns is as follows: A circular saw, a band saw. two planers, a jointer. an electric hand router. and the lathe. Of all of these machines the lathe is the most important. Each bench is equipped with all of the hand tools that are necessary. One of the important parts of the work is to hgure out the exact size that the pattern should be. because if the pattern isn't right the finished product of iron won't be right. Pattern making comes in the junior year in the Industrial Course. The boys are first started in by squaring a board by hand. They then make simple patterns for about half the year. After that the patterns become harder and more complicated to make. At the first of the year the boys are taken to the foundry to see the iron moulded from some of the pat- terns. This is to give them a better idea of hovv much the exactness of the pattern is de- pended upon. At the end of the year the boys have to mould some of their own patterns to test their accuracy.

Ils avaient une servante, mais encore la femme etait mal- heureuse et ne songeait qu'aux riches, pendant que le mari etait content. Un soir, Loisel rentra portant une invitation de Vlnstruction publique. Cietait une grande occasion et Loisel pensa que sa femme serait ravie, mais elle dit quielle n'avait pas une robe convenable. Puis M. Loisel se decida qu'avec quatre cents francs, qu'il avait reservi pour acheter un fusil, ils pourraient acheter une belle robe. Puis Mme. Loisel desira un bijou et son mari lui dit de preter des bijoux de Mme. Forrestier. Elle preta une superbe riviere de diamants. Mme. Loisel etait la plus jolie a la fete. Tous les hommes Vadmirerent et lui iirent beaucoup d'hommages. Elle etait grisee de joie. Son mari Vaccompagna chez eux a quatre heures du matin. Ils allerent dans un vieux coupe. Quand ils arriverent a la maison, Mme. Loisel vit qu'elle avait perdu la parure. Ils etaient tres troubles et ils cherchaient partout. M.

Soon the paths of the universe will be opened before us. Although many of us are eager to learn what the future will bring forth, we shall regret to leave Westbrook High School where we have spent four long years of hard work not un- mixed with pleasure. On September 15, 1924, our class, number- ing 132, entered the portals of VVestbrook High. Soon after we were given one of the mildest receptions in the history of the school. unlike most F r e s hm a n classes, ours was brought before the public eye by Dorothy Blair and VVilliam Vallee in the assembly play, Seventeen, By the time we had become advanced Soph- omores, our enrolled number, 103, has de- creased to 86, which did not lessen our deter- mination to become a record class. To carry on our well founded reputation, Linwood La- gerson won the lirst prize in the local Public Speaking Contest, the second prize in the County Contest, and the second prize in the Interstate Contest held at Colby College. To add still more to our fame, Dorothy Blair, Bea- trice Reny, Doris Baker, William Vallee, and Charles Sawyer took part in the assembly play, The Charm School. As Juniors, fully aware of our newly ac- quired dignity, we numbered 87. To be worthy of it we worked to bring up the number of our class on that much-sought-after honor roll. As in former years, Linwood Lagerson won more prizes: the second in the local contest also the second in the County Public Speaking Contest. Again we were well represented in the assembly play, Bah, by Dorothy Blair, William Vallee, George Brackett, Guy Sin- clair, and Henry Hey. In the City Govern- ment Election, promoted by the Rotary Club, we were honored by having one of our mem- bers, john Hay, elected Mayor. Shortly after the exciting close election came to an end, many of our class with the Seniors had a de- lightful trip to Augusta upon the invitation of the late Senator Speirs. None of us will forget the fun that we had climbing the dome of the State House, attending the sessions of both the House and Senate, shaking hands with the Governor, dining at the Augusta House, and our return. Our Junior year was ended by the solemnity of the graduation 'ex- ercises at Warren Congregational Church. As Seniors we were 82. Ruth Walker, Eliz- abeth Stone, and Herman Smith joined us from other schools. This makes us happy, for now we are proud to be the largest Senior class that has ever lived its short life within these walls. Shortly after school opened in Sep- tember. the class elected the following officers: President-john Hay. Vice-President-Irene Sinclair. Secretary-Florette Boissonneau. Treasurer-Henry Teague. Early in October we had that long-waited- for pleasure of properly initiating the Fresh- men by a warm Reception. When the Fresh- men had become well acquainted, our thoughts were turned to athletics. In these we have been represented during our stay by Edel Kloth, Ruth Libby, Winnifred Smith, Louise Tourangeau, Dorothy Tuttle, Eleanor Fraser, Wi.nton Farley, john Hay, William Lebeau, Lloyd Libby, Victor Walker, Charles Sawyer, Vinal Ferrin, Carl Burrows, Raymond Grig- wer, Reny Grigwer, Harold West, and Win- throp Robinson. Members of Senior class having a rank of 85? or more: Marjorie Burns, Gertrude Hardy, Marion McFarland, Dorothy Blair, Norwood Masdonald, Beatrice Reny, Cora Poole, Doris Baker, Olga Makowski, Henry Teague, Miriam Boothby, Carrie Chick, George Brackett, Henry Hey, Florette Bois- sonneau, Florence Herman, Elizabeth Stone, Viola Small, Rosette Fortin, Elsie Goodwin, Theodore Gordon, Dorothy Tuttle. Vera Estes, Cole Kelley, Marian Smith, VVinnifred Smith, Victor Walker. Henry Teague has the highest rank in the Industrial Department and Florette Boisson- neau the highest in the Commercial Depart- ment. 42 The Blue Er VVhite W. E.

CLASS OF '29 VVithout creating a ripple which would dis- turb the glassy surface of the smallest mill- pond, already sensing the terrific scholastic handicap to be placed upon it by the brilliant class of 1928. and sorely lacking in numbers to properly rebuff the attacks later to be launched against it, the class of 1929 slipped unostenta- tiously into high school on Sept. 14, 1925, and according to the teachers has been slipping ever since. Even though we have admitted some of our weaknesses, we do claim for ourselves certain accomplishments which we herewith set forth. The first thing we did this year of impor- tance was selecting class rings. These rings were delivered early in December and have been very popular among the members of the class. The junior Class Girls' Basketball Team won the inter-class championship this year by defeating the other three teams. The team was made up of Beatrice Doucette, Capt., Wil- ma McBride, Lisette Bettez, Carolyn Emery, Edith Crawford, Eva johnson, and Virginia Bachelder. At the first meeting of the class, the follow- ing officers were elected: President-Thomas Barbour. Vice-President-Donald Brawn. Secretary-Ethel Waite. Treasurer-Herbert Crawford. Westbrook High School 45 The Class of '29 is well represented in ath- letics by Wilma McBride, Carolyn Emery, Edith Crawford, Harold McBride, Thomas Barbour, Herbert Crawford. Cecil Hawkes, Lawrence Knight, Thornton Douglas. Adel- bert Gerry, Collin Roma, Donald Brawn. Kathryn Small is a participant in the annual prize-speaking contest, and Effie Knowlton, Kathryn Small, Virginia Bachelder and Edwin Richardson have parts in the high school play. The following make up the Junior Class: Girls Lewis.

The fol- lowing named started at the beginning of the year, but left school during the first semester: Lorraine Peterson, Muriel Burns, Beatrice Doucette. Thus the total registration of the junior class for the school year is 66. CLASS OF '30 When we entered the second year of our course, we felt more confident that, having passed thru the 1ong,' dreary, and humiliating Freshman year as Green Freshiesf' we would, in the near future, become Dignified Seniorsf' President Charles Sinclair presided over our hrst meeting, at which the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President-Donald Allen. Vice-President-Harriet Small. Secretary-Louis Jensen. Treasurer-Blake Tewksbury. The Sophomore class was represented in sports by Donald Allen, Milton Collins, John Estes, and Charles Sinclair. Those who obtained an average of 90 in four or more subjects for the first half-year are as follows: Violet Garland, Floralie Gordon, Doris Hooper, Maxine Hopkinson, Rebecca Marcoux, Arlene Skillins, and Harriet Small. Of the 104 pupils who entered as Freshmen, 84 remained-46 girls and 38 boys. Twenty- eight take the college course, 34 the commer- cial courseg seven the industrial course and l5 the general course. The Sophomore class is composed of the following: Allen, Arline Armstrong, Shirley Aube, Blanche Aucoin, Leodora Bailey, Alice ' Bunnell, Catherine Burgin, Muriel Burrows, Elizabeth Champagne, Alice Christensen, Ella Girls g Christian, Irene Connell, Frances Coombs, Eugenia Douglas, Florence Drinkwater, Lorraine Duclos, Theresa Files, Helen Fortin, Antoinette Garland, Violet Gordon, Floralie The Blue e- white DAN A WARP MILLS a THRIFTE- is a matter of habit.

For weeks we looked forward to it and when the great night came we anticipated much fun. VVe arrived looking what we hoped was our best but were soon decorated beyond all recog- nition. The Freshman Grand March followed and the President gave an exhibition of the Charleston. Later we were presented to a re- ceiving line made up of the faculty and mem- bers of the school board. This was followed by the Freshman dance. Although many of us could not dance, it proved to be a great success. 1'-1 U T 0 THE SENIORS One hundred and fifty boys and girls As meek as meek could be, All going to a reception With faint heart and trembling knee, Each wondering what would happen, And what to do or say, For the tales that had been told us Filled each heart with dismay. But when the time drew near to go, The first to greet our eyes Was a comic street parade, Made up of freshman boys, Some with their coats on wrong side out, Some buttoned in the back, One was draped in cheese cloth, Of fun they did not lack. , With ankles bare and touseled hair, Down the main street they came Regardless of the look of it, We were each and all of us game.

It is the object of the following paragraphs to set down our ideals of a good, not a really ex- cellent, paper. In other words every paper is compared with the ideal of the particular class in which it falls. The chief function of the yearbook is to re- fresh the memory of the reader in future years. It is after one has graduated from his school and wishes to bring back fond pictures that he will get out an old yearbook and slowly pore over its pages. Tie is not interested in some particular play of a football game, nor whether llrown or jones made a certain touchdown, what he wants to know is the name of that chap with the light, wavy hair and blue eyes who used to play quarter back, and how Frank Smith used to look when he was in school. The yearbook which cannot answer the alumnus' questions has failed miser- ably-it has not fulfilled its purpose. Therefore the yearbook should contain the names of every teacher and the subjects which they teach. The name of every person in school should be given, grouped together in classes. It is well to have a cut of each class with an individual cut of each Senior. Then the yearbook must contain a re- view of the past year's activities. The exploits of every team should be given, not a writeup of each game, but a summary of the season with possibly a few paragraphs of dope on next year's chances and always a cut of the team. There should be also a brief account of any plays, prize speaking contests, debates, essay contests, or school mass meetings and rallies. After all necessary reviews of the year's ac- tivities are used the remainder of the book should be given over to an alumni department, literature, and jokes. It is not necessary to have a long alumni department but the occupations of the members of the last graduating class might well be given and it is well to do the same with every class for the last four years. In this way any person which a Senior might have been acquainted with can be located. Every really good story or poem should be printed, if it has not already been carried in another of the school's papers, and a good number of jokes are necessary, with the preference being given to classroom humor. The BLUE AND WHITE take great pleasure in its present exchange list which is the largest the yearbook has had for some t'me. livery maga- zine and newspaper is gratefully received and a cordial invitation is given all to come again. We appreciate every comment.

NVith seven lettermen back in togs, and four others who had had experience in the past season, everything pointed toward a position among the leaders in the XVestern Maine Con- ference. As it was, we ended the season with six defeats and a lone win. It was a case of hard luck the whole season. Mr. Young was ill and unable to be with the squad until hve days before the opening game. Then Gerry, the most promising candidate for quarterback, received leg injuries that took him away the entire season. Mr. Jinx did not seem to he satisfied with that and followed us through the schedule. Fxamples of this are shown in the South Portland and Deering games. After we had led our traditional rivals, the boys across the bridgef' by a 6 to 0 score from the first three minutes of the game until the last two, Mr. Jinx got busy and the game ended 12 to 6, with the red jerseys on the long end of the count. At Deering with less than a minute to go, and after the boys had kept the ball six inches from the goal line with Deering having four rushes to put it acrossj, the heavy Deering line rushed in and smothered McBride's attempt to boot and scored a safety, thus breaking the 6 to G deal- lock and defeating XVestbrook. 1-KJJQOG RLXECQ-,, ' -J ff'-Bc, There were no individuals who stood out above the rest as in years past. It was mar- velous to see the real stuff that the boys had in them. VVith everything breaking against them, they did not become the least bit de- moralized. They just fought harder-and like true sportsmen. And so on through the sea- son, one for all, and all for one, they played hard and clean football that gained for them the admiration of the fans and their opponents. Donald Brawn was elected to lead the team in 1928. Letters were awarded to 5 Captain Hay, t'WValker, Lieliieau, : Brawn, Knight, Vllest, All en, Douglas, Barbour, Crawford, Sinclair, Burrows, Rivers, jfMcBride, Gerry, Ferren and Mgr. S a w y e r. Sweaters were awarded the players receiving their first letter, namely, Knight, XVest, Allen, Douglas, Craw- ford, Rivers, Ferren, and Manager Sawyer. To bring the season to a happy close, a sup- per was given the team by Harry F. G. Hay. Besides the players and Coach Young, Frank Farrington, Ginger Fraser, Principal Lewis and Mr. Philbrook were present. It was re- gretted that Mr. Hay could not be present, having been called out of town on business. NVe wish to take the opportunity at this time to thank Mr. Farrington for his help in coaching the team at the time of Mr. Young's illness, and his aid during the remainder of the season. 62 Compliments of W S DOW'S GREENHOUSES QQQ 'HQ' 152 Mechanic Street, Westbrook Telephone 505 PHILLIPS Sc WEBB LUMBER A M A N D E R S O N CQMPANY NEWS DEALER All Kinds of Stationery Cigars Tobacco Lumber and Building Materials Soda Fountain Telephone 32 M S W t Compliments of Westbrook Garage an Machine Company TH E U N I S A L CA -flzrff RICHARD G.

VVestbrook High School 1 U Q 1 H y 67 Then the Hrst real test of the team came when they entertained South Portland at YfVestbrook. With Farley pitching shut-out baseball and his teammates giving him air- tight support, VVestbrook crossed the platter six times, while the best the Capers could do was to get a man as far as second base. VVestbrook started the game off in cham- pionship style, scoring a brace of runs in the first inning and crossed the plate every other canto afterwards.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL The girls' chief sport, basketball, has been very successful, considering the fact that we lost three of our star players. Training began the first of November, with a most unusual number of girls turning out, due to the interest awakened by class games. Numerals were awarded the winning team, namely, the juniors. All zones underwent a few changes this season. Fortunately Ruth Libby remained a guard with lfdel Kloth as a partner.

Out of the thirteen games that we have played, four were lost, one tied and nine were won. All of the games were exciting, but the So. Portland and Portland games stand in the lead. In the So. Portland game, VVestbrook led in the first half, but our opponents came through with a 5245-17 win in the last half. A speedy game was that played with Port- land, here on Feb. 4. Our team opened the scoring festivities with a foul shot in the opening minutes of play. A lead was taken and continued until the end. At the end of the first quarter the score stood 18-12. Port- land came up to the 16 mark but stopped there, leaving us with an 18-16 victory. At graduation we are losing six of our players, XVinnifred Smith who has played four played three years, Louise Tourangeau two years and Elinor Fraser who has played one year. This will leave us with three veterans for next yearis team, Vlfilma McBride, Carolyn Fmery, and Florence Douglas. Others who will help make up the team are Fdith Craw- ford, Lorraine Drinkwater, Shirley Arm- strong, and I-lazel Davis. The schedule made out by Manager Mcllride is as follows: Jan. -Brunswick, at home. Jan. So. Portland, at home. jan. Deering, away. Jan. Gorham, away. Feb. 4-Portland, at home. Feb. 8-Brunswick, away.

They have met a great deal of opposition and strife but with Vanner calling sig- nals they have always been victorious. They play a defensive game, winning generally through the penalties of their opponents. The telegraph set arranged between Vanner and Hendrickson was very convenient indeed, this to- gether with the Morse code, was responsible for a great deal of the teams success.
