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.

Westbrook High School 1' -X ummm ASSEMBLY CTES rt gQl On April 2, 1927, the City of Westlirook was run by boys and girls. 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.
