Although it has been at some cost of time to the students responsible for the publishing, their labor will be well rewarded if you, the readers, find a moderate degree of enjoyment in it and if it measures favorably with previous editions. Twelve more months have passed since the last edition was brought forth. VVe, the Editorial lioard, have endeavored to make this Blue and VVhite a mix- ture of accurate records of scholastic activities, humor, and literary quality covering that twelve- month's period. The fortunes of the school have been good, as a whole, and it has been the desire of the editorial staff of this paper to compose and complete an equally favorable report of the good fortunes. OUR EDITORIALS Our editorials are written on numerous subjects of miscellaneous nature. They are not composed by the Editor-in-Chief or his Assistant entirely. Indeed, nearly half of them are not formed thus. Some are the choice results of the compulsory English course. the peak of literary accomplish- ment attained by the most highly ranked students of the school. Frequently their literary worth is disregarded and more often the idea which the editorial conveys is the reason for its choice. ,pug Under the general topic suggestions various students have attempted projects and reforms. Almost without fail have their efforts been for naught. Perhaps this project or reform may be of worth. VVeigh the questions carefully and if you agree with its theory, next ask yourself what your duty is in aiding the idea to be carried through. Read then their editorials both enjoy- ing their literary value and judging their portent fairly. thus rewarding the efforts of those who penned them. EDVVIN RicnARnsoN, '29. LEADERSHIP The world would never progress if there were not those who could assume the responsibility of leadership. In truth, the success of every under- taking, notwithstanding how trivial, depends en- tirely upon the leader. The religious. industrial, political, educational, and social progress of the universe remains under the control of the leaders. Therefore, are we going to allow such progress to slip backwards merely because we have not sufficiently stressed the importance of leadership? Indeed, we guard against such a serious mistake, for every boy and girl, young man and young woman is now given equal privileges to acquire those traits essential to leadership. Let us for the moment consider the many and broad highways to leadership. For instance. do VVestbrook High School E1 '.3n 7 we realize that in our every-day lives opportunities arise which could help us along the highway to leadership if we take due advantage of them? In pursuing the highway to leadership we must exert our utmost energy to conquer all fear of meeting any situation, all self-consciousness. and many other characteristics detrimental to a leader. We must acquire-personality and individualism, force of conviction, and keen wisdom. In our school life hundreds of opportunities are offered us each day which would cultivate any quality for leadership which we might possess. lt is only too true that we do not take advantage of these. On the one hand, we are not showing school spirit, sportsmanship, or any desire to coop- erate for the welfare of our school. On the other hand, we are scorning the magnificent privilege of building our character with a foundation which can withstand the most severe tests. To strive with an unfaltering energy to attain the heights of leadership is the one outstanding duty which an individual owes to himself. Great success in the future depends entirely on one's ability as a leader and the preparation which he has received. Too often does one find those who lack all qualities of a leader. Leaders are in de- mand everywhere to conduct all enterprises. Thus, it can be seen how vitally important are leaders to the progress of the world. With this fact in mind, one should not be indifferent or re- luctant to attempt any task which will aid him as a leader. Furthermore, special attention should be given those who display marked traits of leadership. More ways should be devised to bring the student in contact with the problems of a leader. Some students may be more adapted for social leader- shipg others, for intellectual leadership. In both cases the students should be encouraged. Lit- erary organizations and social clubs may offer splendid advantages for the development of leadership. Consider the heights that have been attained hy great leaders. it is not illogical to imagine that some day those individuals who have been distin- guished leaders,in their school life will add glory to their name as well as their school. Therefore. how could one show more school spirit and patri- otism than by faithfully seeking the highways to leadership as they extend in our school life. DOROTHY M. STAPLES, '29, NEED OF A WASHINGTON CLUB I believe that there should be a Washington Club started in the High School as early as the Sophomore year, so that the students would be able to earn money and to organize themselves for the Washington Trip. The lack of this planning has been the failure of the trip this year. The seniors. not knowing whether they were going to VVashington or not-till the first of this term- found that it was too late to make a success of it -the outstanding reason being the need of funds. The program, relating to the Washington trip, with a few exceptions, will probably be the same in the future. This year the seniors were plan- ning to leave about the middle of April and spend eight days in the cities of Philadelphia, Washing- ton and New York, enjoying sight-seeing trips, transportation, meals, and comfortable rooms for the total sum of eighty-three dollars. Naturally, this price sounds large: but different men who have gone there-on business-have said that that price is very cheap, and anyone who can afford it is very unwise not to go. This might be the chance of a lifetime to see the White House, Woolworth Building, and many other sights, of which so much is heard about today. Of course, the plan and organization of the club depends wholly on the students of each class: the success of it, on the cooperation of the whole school, combined with the help and interest of the parents. Do not be content by merely trying, for if at first you don't succeed, try, try again. PHILIP RRAGDON, '29. A RACQUET FOR TENNIS Since it has been the custom to use the general topic projects for editorials of this magazine, this article is in one sense a repetition for it is once more a suggestion for extended athletic activity. 8 1 ............ . ' The Blue 6- White Tennis is a sport which is truly a refined one. Men and women, young and old, poor and rich, all types play this game. To be accomplished in the art requires both natural gift and incessant practice. It is in truth but a halfway mark be- tween the commonness of baseball and the exclu- siveness of golf. Not only is tennis an art but it is strenuous exercise, bringing into play the entire muscles of a person's body. Most sports require large gate receipts in order to maintain, without financial loss, the team. In tennis the condition is quite the reverse. Any player of worth in the high school class possesses both clothes and racket, the only necessities. VVhat money was raised by foreign guarantees and home attendance would abundantly supply the treasury with travelling expenses. The one remaining difficulty excepting the sup- port of the students is that of securing a coach. The need of a coach, and a competent one, is of some weight. Contrary to other sports. however, practice without an instructor would be fruitful. But few people of high school age would work continually without supervision in the ceaseless practice so important. Such a man as Paul, Ginger Fraser would be an ideal selection. With both a coach and the practice a progressive team could be made worthy of letters and a pride to the school. For the last quarter century the school has been lax in furnishing any teams but those of the three major games. In fact, no team of the minor type has existed, except one for track in the early nine- teen twenties, and a girls' field hockey team. Field events, track, ice hockey, and tennis are present in all noteworthy colleges and if the graduates of W. H. S. have only self-training in these things they represent the school poorly while in attend- ance at these higher grade institutions. An edi- torial favoring ice hockey similar to this was received with plenty of silent approval, but noth- ing whatsoever in the way of active assent. If you. the students, the faculty, the parents, are interested in and desirous of a tennis team for WV. H. S., show your desire by.speaking to Prin- cipal Philbrook. Not a team for 1931-1932, but for 1929-30 year with the spirit and desire new, vigorous, and fresh in your minds. With the voice of the scholastic body, the appeal of the par- ents, and the open agreement of the faculty, it seems quite certain that Westbrook, which has previously been known to support a strong team, in any sport which she enters, will be provided with an equally strong aggregation to prevent Portland High's team, as well as others, keeping from their boasted terrific paces. Principal Philbrook no doubt would be more than glad to stand behind a prospective squad if it be the will of all concerned and aid in selecting and acquiring the necessary coach. He waits for your verbal opinion. EDWIN RICHARDSON, '29. WESTBROOK NEEDS A HIGH SCHOOL This year, as every year before for many years, the pupils of Westbrook High raise their voices and plead for a new high school. We realize that we are not heard. Every year we have reason to realize it more and more. Yet we do not give up hope. for we realize that altho it may not come while we stay here. it must come sooner or later and there is no doubt of that. Must the pupils, members of the faculty. and parents bend their knees before the request is granted? Or will the city wait for a few more years and buy a few more portable chairs to place in the front of every classroom, that all the members may be seated? This is the case of several rooms nowg and the difficulties in the main room during assemblies can hardly be imagined. Every seat has two pupils in it and the back and sides of the room, including the two side doorways, are lined with pupils standing up. T wo years ago there was a rumor that reached the papers and was circulated throughout West- brook that the main room was unsafe and might collapse during an assembly. How this report started, very few know. There must have been some truth in it because a little later the room was thoroughly investigated by experts, so we are told, and pronounced safe. Until they gave their ver- dict there were no more meetings in the room, it is noticed. If there was enough truth in it to have it investigated and assemblies prohibited, why do the people of the city hesitate? It is also Westbrook High School T worthy to note that every time a street car goes rumbling by, the whole building may be felt to tremble. This may be the cause of the Wide cracks noticed running up and down the back of the building. We pupils want a larger and more complete libraryg we want larger classrooms with a little more attention paid to ventilation and lightg we want an assembly room that does not have to be examined before we are allowed to gather in it. Are these demands too much for the city to handle? Are we asking the impossible, or the possible? VV e would like to know the answer for at least one reason. It is this. Are we, the pupils, the only ones in the city who recognize the urgent need for a new high school? Possibly not, for about once a year, more or less is said about it in the newspapers, and in the BLUE AND WHITE. Still. there is no action taken. We do all we can and leave the rest for a higher authority, which, plainly speaking, is still sleeping it appears. Another tooth of shame for Westbrook is the Cumberland Hall Gym. Who can speak a good word for that so-called Sweat box, as other schools call it. True, it has helped develop some of the best athletes Westbrook has ever seen, but it does not continue to develop them. That ex- cuse of a gymnasium is one of the reasons why Westbrook cannot secure home games with schools that have reason to know its size and properties. We would like to ask the question again. VVhat must the pupils of XVestbrook High School do in order to get a larger and better high school and gymnasium? VVe do not ask this thing for our- selves. the graduating class of '29, but for the classes that follow and follow. Rest assured that the day in the future when the last brick is layed in the new school should be a day of rejoicing and gladness in the hearts of the people and pupils of Westbrook. T. Tl., '29. DEBATING XV hy not let VVestbrook High School enter into debating? Many of the students and teachers are N' 9 interested in an organization of this sort and would be willing to give their time to it. Debat- ing could be used as an educational feature and thus benefit the audience as well as the members of the teams. VV e have in our school students who have taken active parts in speaking contests, oratorical con- tests, and plays. In addition to this group there are many others who could do well if they were definitely asked. Colleges realize the value of this subject and have debating teams which compete with those of other colleges. Often these successful teams are requested to take long trips abroad, a privilege which adds much to their education. Graduates of Westbrook cannot be expected to take a share in these meets and bring honor to their high school if they have not been previously trained for it. Probably some Westbrook boys and girls will be active in politics. Practice in debating would be invaluable to them in campaigning or in the legislature. In fact, in every conceivable vocation a person is required at some time to present his views on a matter clearly and concisely. Oftentimes arguments come up in class work. These might be prepared as debates for the fol- lowing day in which the student would get a chance to express his opinions connectedly. Everyone enjoys debates. Especially, humor- ous questions would be appreciated in an assembly entertainment. Perhaps some business clubs would be interested to hear the opinions of their sons and daughters on matters of the day. There would be many ways of handling the subject. A debating club could be organized which might also have social gatherings. Debat- ing could be had in all English classes or between the various classes. Seniors would enjoy debates with freshmen over their relative merits and the rest of the school might be interested in the out- come. But if for no other reason, give us a debating team to conquer the other high schools which our athletic teams happen to miss. in-ARY PEABODY, '29.

Ellis of Portland. Mr. Ellis also removed the temporary Brown University cup which the five iron men had won. An interesting assembly was held on March 16, when a debate was held, presided over by Carl Burrows. The subject was Capital Punishment Should Be Abolished in the United States. The affirmative was upheld by Eleanor Fraser, Cath- erine Hebert, and Marion James, and the negative by Marion Smith. Vera Estes, and Winnifred Smith. The judges, Misses M. Abbot, Wigllt, and Hatch, decided in favor of the affirmative. Carrie Chick was awarded the medal for best essay on Life of Lincoln. Basketball announce- ments were made. A musical program under the direction of Miss Briggs was held on April 6, 1928. The program was as follows : 1. Triumphal March ................ 2. Reading ................... 3.

Florence Douglas, Louise Touran- geau, Eleanor Fraser, Carolyn Emery, Dorothy Tuttle, Winnifred Smith and VVilma McBride. In the annual prize speaking contest sponsored by the Stephen VV. Manchester Post of the Amer- ican Legion, Ruth VValker took first prize and Kathryn Small, second. The final assembly of the year 1927-28 was held on June 15, 1928. Reports of various school activities, such as the BLUE AND WHITE, girls' and boys' basketball, baseball series, and the High School Play, were given. Elstard Smith was awarded third prize for the essays in Cumberland County on The North American Indian. Mr. Lewis, the retiring principal, was presented with a serviceable traveling bag by the three lower classes. The assembly ended with the singing of Wake, Freshmen, Wake, by the now seasoned Freshman Class and the school song by every pupil. On September 2-lf, the first assembly of the year 1928-29 was called. The Freshmen were made to stand. while the upper classes sang to them, Wake, Freshmen, Wake.,' The committees for Freshman Reception were announced. A rally for the football game with Portland High took place on October 19. Coach Newman Young and Captain Donald Brawn gave talks con- cerning the chances, condition, and standing of the team. Captain Kelly of the second squad favored us with a little speech of remarkable bril- liancy. The rally closed with cheers and' the school songs. Westbrook High School '3 Just before the Freshman Reception the stu- dents were called together to listen to a talk by Mr. john C. Scates concerning the hazing of the newcomers. He told us that the School Board thought the reception a little too violent in nature -that is, the part carried on outside the hall. He left the whole matter to the honor of the student body. Superintendent Ellingwood said a few words agreeing with Mr. Scates and asking that such dangerous practices as the use of pin and needle be abolished. He told us to have a good time but use discretion. Mr. Philbrook called for our cooperation. One of the principal events of the year, the Freshman Reception, took place in Cumberland Ilall on October 26. The boys marched from the Farmers' Union to the hall accompanied by the Rotary lloy's Band. VVhen they had assembled both boys and girls were doctored up with paint and grease until they appeared very ridiculous. Then followed the Grand March with the Frosh in such quaint and droll dress that the spectators were doubled up with laughter. They were then made to dance, which some never had learned to do, after which they were presented to the receiv- ing line composed of members of the School lloard, teachers, and upper classmen. The re- mainder of the evening was spent in dancing with refreshments of ice cream, fancy cookies, and punch served during the intermission. It was known that several cutter sticks from the Warren Mill were used quite effectively and that much gasoline was burned to give the Frosh boys airy trips to the surrounding countryside. A special Armistice Day program was held this year. The program opened with the singing by the students of songs popular during the late war. Kathryn Small entertained with a reading very appropriate to the day. Major Edward Anthoine of Portland spoke on The Spirit, Meaning. and Purpose of Armistice Day. He told us some of his personal experiences across. A rally was also held for the game with Deering. Mr. Emmons of Deering High kindly offered VV estbrook High School students a chance to visit Washington, D. C., with the Deering Washington Club. On November 2 a professor representing the Northeastern Academy gave us a very interesting talk on Choosing a Vocation. He defined and explained in a very pleasing manner the value of education in high school and after high school. The program on October 28 was in charge of Miss Effie Knowlton. Coach Young spoke re- garding the South Portland game and awarded sweaters and letters to the baseball men. Fred Fitzgerald and Irving Nielson entertained with solos on the violin and cornet respectively. The assembly joined in songs and cheers. Thanksgiving was observed with an appropriate program under the direction of Alan Titcomb. T11e meeting opened with the school song. The Reverend R. A. MacDonald delivered a fine speech on the meaning of Thanksgiving. Two short sketches were presented. The first, Where But in America, was played by Camil Huard. Muriel Burgen, and Evelyn Knight. Elstard Smith, Harold Lord, and Owen Pride figured in the other, a humorous one called What Would Happen If Shakespeare VV alked into a New York Clothing Shop. The High School Orchestra played two selections. On December 7 a special meeting was called for the purpose of electing the 1929 basketball, base- ball, and football managers. The First term was closed with an assembly led by Owen Pride. The program was as follows: 1. Scripture Reading ............................ Dwight Leighton 2. Christmas Carols ....... ................. G roup of Scholars 3. Reading .................................................... Irene Lagerson 4. Piano Duet ....................

The plan was approved by the School Board. and so far it has proved a fair success. The annual assembly play is now rapidly taking form under the able coaching of Mrs. Hatch of the English Department. Mrs. Hatch did much to turn out a wonderful production last year, and we expect that with the cast she has, many of whom have acted before, another will be forth- coming this spring. It will be played at the Star Theater. The cast is as follows: Peggxe ................ Remorse ........ jimmy ........ Tubby ............ Leo ...................... Mrs. Connelly ......

'lihe name of Saccarappa, which still con- tinues to afford so much amusement to those people who persist in dropping the linal syllahle, has undergone very important changes since it was hrst written in the deed from the Indian sagamores to George Klunjoy, who, hy the way. purchased XVestl1rook. NVesthrook then consisted of Deering. Falmouth, XVoodfords, and Port-U Ilut, -Ioe. you agreed to tell me a story, and. although all these facts are most interesting, I think I'd enjoy a story more. I said. interrupting his recital. All right, said -Ioe. I'll tell the story. though you would he henetited more hy the exact history. In the spring of the year 143510, the Indians were planning an attack on our settlement. This was suspected on account of the nocturnal fires that occurred over in their camp. This camp was over on the site of I'Iaskell's Silk Mill on llridge Street. Westbrook High School I 'A Y fs '7 One night, several 1nen crept up on one of these councils, and overheard the plans of the wily 'Injunsf They were planning to attack our homes in broad daylight when we would be least expecting them. The white men came back to the settlement and called a meeting of all the men. These men decided to take their possessions and families and go to Fort Loyal, which was situated near the coast on what is now the Western Promenade. The next day there were queer sights in Sacca- rappa. Little groups, here and there, hurried along the rough road to Fort Loyal. These little family groups had with them their dearest posses- sions. In one case it might be a cow, in another case a horse, even pigs and other animals. Ur a woman may have been carrying the picture of her dead husband, praying that although he had been taken by the 'red devils,' that she might save the picture. They traveled to Fort Loyal over the road which is now Stroudwater Street. The road was muddy, and almost three days before everyone had left Saccarappa and reached the Fort. At the Fort they found provisions, ammunition, and guns. The older men knew, however, that if the 'Injuns' intended to massacre them that there would not be enough ammunition. Hoping that the Indians wouldn't keep up a long siege, the people of Saccarappa, our ancestors, shut them- selves in the old block-house, and awaited the dreaded attack of the red men. At last they came. Shouting, shrieking, and raging over their disappointment at the settlement, the Indians approached to the trees that surround the Fort, about a hundred feet from it. The cunning, treacherous red men fought from behind trees, shooting arrows into the sides of the block-house. The men inside the Fort had decided to save their annnunition until they had to use it. The Indians, meeting no response to their continuous Fighting, crept nearer. When they were within fifty feet of the house our men opened fire. This volley of shots drove them back a short distance, but they soon advanced again. The older settlers began to fear treachery, be- cause all the Indians were attacking only the front of the Fort, and the red man always surrounds his victim. They watched closely on all sides, and at last saw the reason for the queer attack. The treach- erous Indians had filled an old wagon with brush and had set fire to it. Twenty or more men were wheeling it towards the Fort, hiding behind it as they approached. There was nothing to be done. The wagon of death was slowly approaching the white people. They stood, grouped together, awe-stricken at the sight, when suddenly, they saw the figure of a man emerge from the block-house, and stand directly in the path of the oncoming wagon. The horror- stricken people saw him raise his arms, heard him utter strange words in the gutteral language of the Indians. and saw the savages stop, listening to him. The man was old Thomas Johnson, whose de- scendants lived on Saco Street up to a short time ago. He was one of the few early settlers who knew the Indian language, and he used his knowl- edge to save our ancestors, the first settlers of Saccarappa. T he Indians, influenced by Thomas Johnson's speech about a Divine Power, crept swiftly away. The red race was very superstitious, and the bravery and courage of this white man frightened them into believing that he was possessed by a Divine Power. So, Saccarappa was saved: and. under the name of Westlnrook, is now successful and pros- perous. Although the land on which our city is built cost only a few beads, a coat, and two mirrors, by the audacity, perseverance, courage, and hardiness of our early ancestors, Westlmrook has grown to be one of the largest paper-manufac- turing cities of the world. Thus ended Ioe's story, and thus ends mine. I doubt if joe's story is absolutely true, but we do know that Indians once lived and trod on the ground and lands which we call home.

A SIMPLE SIGN It was in a grocer's window That she saw a simple sign. And as she stopped and slowly read it, Her blue eyes seemed to shine. Then with scornful lips she murmured, As she tossed her pretty hat, How I wish that men were labeled With a good plain sign like that. So when she had passed, I ventured Near that favored grocer's shop, And espicd this simple legend: This Corn Warranted To Pop. R. B., '29. THE HAUNTED POINT One summer night in 1927 when I was camping at North Star Camp, East Waterlmoro, Maine, the Camp Supervisor was telling ghost stories. He described a point of land about half a mile away where a man had been murdered and thrown into the water. The old settlers for miles around were afraid to go near this point ever after be- cause it was considered haunted. One settler to'd that on an April morning as he stopped on the point about five o'clock, he had 'seen two objects in the water which looked like the arms and hands of a mang others also had reported the same story and said that they were the arms and hands of the murdered man which appeared there every morning. After the Supervisor finished the story. he asked if anyone wished to sleep out on the point. Three other boys besides myself volunteered. im- mediately got our blanket-roll, and started out. As soon as we arrived on the point, we made our beds and lay down: we lay awake for a long time listening to the whippoorwills when all at once we heard a hideous scream: then all was quiet. and finally we went to sleep. The next morning as we woke, we looked out on the lake and saw two arms and hands project- ing from the water. VV e arose and hiked back to camp. After breakfast we got a boat and went to investigate. What do you suppose we found? The hands were gone.

Sll lVlAIN STRFET, CUMBERLAND lVlI1,LS, MAINE TELi:PHoNE 14+ 20 SELECTION FROM OVID THE FoUR Amis, ltTHE FLooD, DEUcALIoN AND PYRRHAU In three of his poems. namely: The Four Ages, The Flood, and Deucalion and Pyrrhaf' Ovid tells a story very similar to that read in Gen- esis. Instead of the God in whom we now believe, Ovid wrote of the old Roman gods. There were supposed to be many of these gods and goddesses, each one of whom had his special field. The Romans prayed to one god about love, to another regarding war, and so on. The Four Ages tells us that the flrst years of the earth were called the golden age. Then there was no need of law or punishment since every- thing was right. No war ever waged. The people lived contentedly in eternal spring weather and only had to gather their food. The silver age came next with the four seasons which we now know. The people were obliged to make homes in caves and to plow the ground to raise produce. This era was followed by the bronze age, which in turn was superseded by the iron age. Now all wickedness burst forth, including war. I The next chapter of the world's history is told in The Flood. Iove, the highest of the gods, looked down on the world and decided to punish the people for their evil doings. He did not wish to send fire as it might burn the homes of the gods, of the sea, he sent a Hood. The earth was com- pletely covered with water. The poem Deucalion and Pyrrha tells of the two people left upon earth after the deluge. They prayed to the goddess of prophecy to Hnd out how they should people the world. She told them to cast the bones of their great parent behind them. Deucalion and Pyrrha interpreted this command to mean that they should throw certain stones in back of them. They obeyed orders, and at once the rocks turned into people who thereafter inhab- ited the world. These works of Ovid are widely read and en- joyed. They are short poems written in dactylic hexameter. Each line is composed of six feet, most of which have one long and two short syl- lables, and is accented thus: The Blue fr VVhite HP0.Yff1Mfl711' Safurno fencbros in Tartara Missa. It is easy to see how vividly this can be read and how much the meter adds to the value of the poem. The verses seem to swing along clearly and simply, yet to tell an interesting story. There must be something in Ovid's poems to have made them last for about two thousand years. It is hard to define this something as a single quality, but probably these poems are remembered now as much for their interesting simplicity as for their depth. M. P.. '29.

CUMBERLAND AND OXFORD CANAL In writing up this old abandoned canal I will give a short sketch of its beginning and comple- tion. It was begun in 1820 and finished in 1829, only one year short of the time it took the Amer- icans to dig the Panama Canal. The canal was constructed for the purpose of carrying freight into and out of Cumberland and Oxford counties. Factories were located in Harrison and Bridgton, the products of which, together with large ship- ments of timber and cordwood, formed the chief cargoes to be carried to the coast. Teams were used to carry this cargo to Harri- son to be loaded onto the canal boats, which were sixty feet long and from ten to twelve feet wide. They had sails to use in crossing the lakes and men to pole them down the numerous rivers to the big Sebago Lake. From there they went by canal, drawn by a horse attached to a sixty-foot towrope and walking on a towpath made especially for him. The horse was sometimes driven by a boy: usu- ally, however, one of the men sitting on the boat would throw a few rocks at him. A man at the helm steered the craft by an old-fashioned rudder. The masts were set in jaws so that they could be Westbrook High School lf, 21 raised or lowered at the pleasure of the captain. Each boat had a cabin, also, into which three or four men might crowd. The crew slept and ate there unless someone preferred sleeping on the deck above. The boats were easy to handle and comfortable enough for the rough type of men following the rivers. Twenty-seven locks had to be gone through besides Songo Lock: two guard locks, one at the harbor entrance, the other at the head of the canal and the other twenty-five in between. On the trip down, the lower gates of the lock were closed and the boat was run in: then the upper gates were closed and the lower ones opened by long beams. This method was followed all the way down to Portland. All these locks were ponderous affairs, sometimes taking two men to open them. After the canal reached Saccarappa it branched off to the right and entered the harbor on the north side of the present site of the Portland Gas Company. There the boats unloaded and took on a cargo of merchandise, such as molasses, flour, sugar, tobacco and rum. The boats were towed back again reversing the order of the locks from the trip down. The canal was about thirty feet wide in most places so that boats could easily pass. In 1856 the canal was sold to three merchants living in Portland, who used it in trading with the inland towns. It had fallen into disrepair during the few preceding years and it was now necessary to patrol the canal once a day to see if all was well. Sometimes in a big rainstorm there would be washouts on the line, so the agents were kept busy most of the time. The canal boats went twenty miles on the canal and thirty miles on the rivers and lakes. The trip took two days each way and more time was allowed for loading and unloading. The canal man had good times and some rough ones, too. It would be surprising to cross the lake after big storms: the waves would run high, and on a dark night it was no fun. When the Grand Trunk Railroad started and ran to Oxford it crippled the poor old canal, and the Ogdensburg line gave it its deathblow. In 1870 the canal was abandoned. Now, one can see traces of the old ditch and the bones of the old boats strewn along the canal, and the Songo River. Huge pickerel swim slowly back and forth now in undisputed possession of the staunch old crafts, the sole reminders of a once prosperous business. B. T., '30. ,,1 ..1. SCHOOL DAYS I came to Westbrook High School Three years ago last fall, And found I would have been a fool To leave the school and all. I spent the first year studying, The second year in fun, And when my third year had ended My fourth year then begun. The fall of '28 had started And football was the sport, The school didn't back the players, And we ended at the foot. The winter, which did follow, And 1929 came in, Basketball then started, And Westbrook tried to win. The students lacked the interest, The boys still ploughed their wayg The basketball season ended, With the championship tucked away. Spring was in the limelight, And baseball drew the crowd: The people shouted, The team's all right, As the Westbrook yell rang loud. We were planning for graduation, Which was only a few days away, And when the time came to us all, Farewell we had to say. A. G., '29, WHY SHOULD I VOTE? We have been asked to write an essay on Why Should I Vote ? This subject interested me. I have given it much thought. Why should I vote ?-an obligation, or a privilege? Well, I conclude that it is both. Surely, it is an obligation on my part to study the question: Study my country's interests and problems, and acquaint myself with the duties of the men for whom I must vote, and who have the fate of our great country in their hands. ' The Blue 6- White 22 A privilege, surely, to know myself as one of the nation's voters. VVe have a perfect right, and a privilege to affirm or to veto the passing of important legislation, when we are called on to express our opinion. I have been interested in the picture, a carica- ture fif you wish to call it suchj of President Hoover, showing him as a big, broad, intelligent, kindly-looking man, at the helm of a large ship. Beside him sits Uncle Sam with his usual smile fyet, with a certain sternness, that other countries have learned means muchj and his hand on the wheel beside the president-a fine pair. Surely, it is both my duty and my privilege to be a part of the big body of voters. We, the unknown Americans, some one of us, some day, must sit at Congress. Some one of us must stand or sit at the helm! My aim, then. is to be a true American-to vote for my country and its interests, and to be ready to vote when I am twenty-one. E. S.

D. H., '30, THE IMAGINATION Romance! the response which the nerves of the mind give to the mere sound of this word is amaz- ing. The term contains a depth of meaning which immediately sends some compartment of thought into action. Why is this true? Merely because romance is a product of the imagination, and the imagination is the most responsive nerve within the human brain. In order to clearly understand the imagination one must have an idea of its function in the human intellect. The imagination is that part of the mind which modifies and develops the concep- tions. For instance, a slight idea occurring in the mind is absolutely worthless unless the imagina- tion readily performs its work of developing that idea. A writer could deal with the subject of the imagination in an entirely theoretical manner. The result would be far too deep and difficult to easily comprehend : therefore, we will consider the functions of the imagination as they arise in our every-day lives. There are three stages of the imagination: first, the imagination of the child: second, that of the youth: third, that of the adult. A child's imagination is the elementary develop- ment of that organ. VVithout doubt the child de- rives more pleasure through his own imagination than by any mechanical toy or by any entertainer. To verify this statement let us take a glance over the back fence into the play-yard. Let's play Indians l a tiny boy suggests to his little playmates. It will instantly be seen that through his active imagination this child has one of the necessary qualities of a leader. All right, let's l the others agree in chorus. I'll be the big chief, and you fellers can be my lightin' Indians. Betty can be the squaw what stays home and keeps our tent. Play Pal was my horse and Brownie was the bear and Spot was the tigeru are a few of the many bright suggestions made by the children. Thus, the game progresses in a lively fashion, and each child strives to create more fun by adding to the game. Such a healthy imagination is necessary for the normal growth of every child. The imagination as found in the minds of youth is a problem of serious consideration. The bud of life is just bursting at this time, and it is ob- structed by many difficulties. Youth appears to be the most carefree stage of life, yet this is en- tirely wrong. At no time in life do more difficul- ties and struggles pass through the mind. The mind of the adolescent is uneasy and discontented. Accordingly, the imagination is adapted to suit such minds. VVestbrook High School 23 Well, Smith, do you realize that you are a member of this class and that there is work to be done? is the remark made by many patient teachers many times during the school day. What was Smith doing? just dreaming those idle dreams of youth. Why does youth persist in wasting away time by idle dreaming? The reason is that youth must have some means by which it can relieve its mind of the great perplexities which are too difficult to comprehend. The most satis- factory method is through the imagination, which furnishes such soothing dreams. The imagination of the adult is the refined and cultured product of many years of hard labor. The adult is capable of realizing that the material side of life must be considered First: for in most cases, no adult can accomplish anything worth- while unless he employs his deepest thought. However, a person's deepest thoughts upon cer- tain ambitions oftentimes include the powers of the imagination. On the other hand, the adult Ends great pleasure in closing his eyes and living within the splendors of his imagination: this could also be called renewing his youth. A favorite expression of the informal speaker before a group of people is Friends, let us im- agine ourselves, etc. Each imagination begins its work. Consequently, An enjoyable evening was had by all, as the society news items are sure to read. In considering the importance of the imagina- tion it is safe to say that the imagination was in- cluded in the foundation of civilization. Religion in its primitive form was developed by the imag- ination. from the ideas of various tribes. The llible, as we know it today, contains facts, it is true: but as the Bible underwent its many trans- lations additional ideas of the imagination were most certainly added to it. Literature from its very beginning was the product of the imagina- tion. Since so many books have been compiled, the more vivid an imagination an author has the more for his benefit. Explorers, if they wish to accomplish their desires, must have a staunch imagination. Columbus, by weaving through facts the thread of his imagination, made his name shine in the history of the world. The same is true of our modern hero, Charles Lindbergh. Inventors and scientists are those who most seri- ously rely upon their imagination to bring them success. It has been seen what an important part the imagination must assume within the mind of each individual. Therefore, it must be trained with the greatest care and thought so that some day it may encourage its wise owner to perform deeds that will be a beneht for the universe. D. S., '29.

Through the generous cooperation of the stu- dents, the orchestra is unusually large this year. The great variety of instruments has added much to the volume and tone of the orchestra. The members are doing very creditable work in preparation for a concert which they intend to present in the Spring. The enrollment of the orchestra is as follows: Violins: Fred Fitzgerald, Joseph Tapley, Marie Welch, Alma Lowell, Camil Huard, Mar- garet Delaney, Alice Bailey. Second Violins: Helen Lewis, Esther Wilson, Roland Tourangeau, Roderick MacDonald, lr., Warren Hebert, Ernest Dolley, Elmer Randall. Cornets: Albert Verrill, Irving Nielson. Saxophone: Joseph Small.

CROWELL, '29, , Art Department Modern art has been limited to many sources of arts in painting, sculpture, architecture, and music. Westbrook High School practices to some ex- tent, modern art. Under the careful direction of Ansel R. Sterling the art course has grown to be a great success, and even a necessity to the high school. One hour of the art class is devoted to the text- book, World Painters by Hoyt, in which we learn something of the lives of the famous artists of the early periods of art. In this textbook are studied Cthej Ancient Painting, The Beginning of Modern Christian Painting, The Italian Paintings of the Gothic Period, Early Renaissance Period, Siennese School, Roman School, Venetian School, Fcrranese School, and the Lombard School. Be- sides this the French paintings of the Sixteenth, Seventeenth, Eighteenth, and Nineteenth Centu- ries are also discussed. Une hour of the last half of the year, Mr. Sterling devotes to the Laws of Design, and their properties. From this study the pupils have learned to classify the different forms of design, and to recognize the choice of design as to balance and rhythm. Not only has the class received information on design, but it has made use of each form. Again the class has made use of the modernistic which is, at this time, a successful discovery of design. Among the articles which the class have made are tea-tiles, crayon tapestries, desk-sets, book- ends, etc. Wfestbrook High School needs a larger art de- Westbrook High School 1 5'ifl. 37 partment, as it needs a new school buildingg never- theless, the course has been very successful thus far. , The public schools of Westlurook are very for- tunate to have Mr. Sterling the director of Art and Penmanship. He has done much for the city of Westlnrook in the field of art. Money should be spent by the state in the pro- moting of this wonderful work in our public schools. It is up to each individual of the art World to make each person realize the importance of this course. The university and its associated schools should be the loveliest and greatest mass Commercial The work of the commercial student is divided into four main classes, namely, shorthand, type- writing, bookkeeping and office practice. N o stu- dent is eligible for a position in an office without at least some knowledge of the studies above mentioned. of architecture in every town. The common school should be the center of interest and pride oi every village. To do this, we must arouse greater desire for beautiful things, of art and beauty, education and success. For as the flower cannot live without sunlight, neither could man live without something that stimulates beauty to his eye. Art is unquestionably one of the purest and highest elements in human happiness. It trains the mind through the eye, and the eye through the mind. ' As the sun colors the flowers, so does art color life. H. S., '29, Department Vllhen taking up the study of shorthand our ambftion is to acquire speed and accuracy. In the first place, how are these two factors accom- plished? Hy perseverance and study. In the high schools shorthand is taken for a period of two years. The first year is designed to teach the DANA WARP MILLS 38 The Blue E-r VVhite student the principles of the system. The second year is used for the purpose of reviewing the work covered the first year and for developing speed and accuracy. In order to obtain speed one must practice, practice, practice, not only in class but outside of class as well. VVhen the teacher gives a dictation it is a good idea to pick out the words that you do not know how to write or those that were hard to write, and practice them. The stenographer's aim at the end of the second year is to be able to write at the rate of 100 words a minute. His or her benefit is a good position in the business world. The students who have passed the sixty word per minute Gregg Transcription Tests and re- ceived certificates this year are as follows: Wilma Mcllride, Grace McFarland, Eleanor Lewis, Car- olyn Emery, Marjory Makowski, Eva Johnson, Ethel Waite, Florence Marsters, Edith Crawford.

The office practice class is comprised of twelve Seniors: eleven girls and one boy. The class has accomplished a great deal this year and have not been absolutely confined to textbooks for office practice material. It has had an unusual amount of practice experience, as we-have solicited work from the different departments of the school. These departments include Penmanship and Art. Music, Domestic Science and English. The work done for the Art Department has afforded the class a most unusual opportunity for artistic arrangement of material and every mem- ber has produced especially fine specimens which following have been awarded certificates for at- taining eighty words per minute: Grace McFar- land, Marjory Makowski, Dorothy Craft. The study closely connected with shorthand is typewriting. Memory is added to accuracy and speed by this study. The first thing the learning typist is taught,-is the keyboard and position of the fingers. After the keyboard is learned, the typist's aim is speed and accuracy. The first year there is no fixed rate of speed. The second year the minimum number of words is from 40 to 50 net per minute, that is, for the average person. As a rule, there are a few students in classes who are expected to write at a faster rate of speed. For encouragement each company that makes the typewriters issue certificates and pins to the pupils who make a certain number of words with limited number of errors. Eleven of the fourteen Seniors have won awards in typing this year. They are: Underwood L C Smith Remington Woodstock c. and 2 p. c. and 1 p. c. and 1 p. 2 p. c. c. and 1 p. c. and 1 p. 2 p. c. and 1 p. c. and 1 p. c. c. and 1 p. c. and 1 p. c. and 1 p. 1 p. 1 p. c. and 2 p. c. c. c. c. c. c. c. c. 1 p. for pin, which should be written in full when transferredj have been highly commended by Mr. Sterling. The Domestic Science Department tells us that never have such perfectly mimeographed recipes been received into that Department. We are very fortunate in having a number of office appliances, including the Burroughs Listing Machine, Burroughs Calculator, Dictophone, hori- zontal accounting machine, and Neostyle. The class is being apprenticed to the use of the various machines and each member will have become pro- ficient in their use by the end of the year.

THE BOOKKEEPING COURSE One great commercial element in Westlirook High School is the study of Bookkeeping and Accounting. Many students do not think of this subject as a benefit, but as a monotonous way of going throughf, as we realize when we think of the percent of the original group who return at the beginning of the second year of work. In thinking of this we may ask such questions as: Why do students leave it? Why do they take it at all if not to continue? These questions being asked must of course be answered in some way. Thus, I take the liberty to say. that this subject is frequently taken in order to secure just another point: but the pupil doing so finds he has no interest for the subject whatsoever, therefore his interest decreases until a failure is in sight, then he decides to drop it. For this reason. the sec- ond year classes are smaller than those of the first. The bookkeeping period is not a period for rest. It must be a period of intense interest and work if the student intends to learn and promote himself in any way to a greater future. The first year in the study of this subject is commenced with information concerning the dif- ference between the terms debit and credit, used in the books of original entry. These two points are very essential. Out of this knowledge grows the outline and structure of the simple lialance Sheet and Statement of Profit and Loss. Industrial Each year the Freshman Class grows larger in the Industrial Department. Three years ago there were about fifteen Freshmen in the indus- Special practice sets of business papers are fur- nished with the object of creating a real business in the hands and minds of the pupils. These sets contain actual transactions, to be entered, paid, receipted, etc., according to their nature. A great deal of time is also spent in the study of notes, drafts, checks, and endorsements. These are es- pecially important in the functions of bookkeeping. The second year is entered upon by the students who wish to stick and really learn. The teacher continues with advanced work and introduces a second, more complicated practice set containing a partnership company. This consists of transac- tions intermingled with trade acceptances. notes, drafts, checks, bills of lading, and C. O. D. trans- actions. When this period, the fiscal period cov- ered by the business is ended a working-sheet is prepared. This working-sheet is now common in most business houses, chiefly for the purpose of figuring the income tax reports. From this sys- tematic record issues forth the correct financial details and outlines of the business. Then the books are balanced and closed, with all profits or losses shared, as to past agreement. Another set of like substance is also prepared and worked out before the close of the year. The last year of this course is a combination of both bookkeeping and the study of stocks which is very important: thus, ending this valuable course of commercial education. Of all the numerous rules and educational facts contained in this course, Bookkeeping, the fore- most are neatness and accuracy. Neatness leaves the books clear. orderly, and attractive to others, especially to an employer who wishes satisfaction in all his commercial deals. A necessity and superlative help is accuracy, which informs the business man correctly and makes his bookkeeper almost priceless in his estimation. These ideals are the standards of all excellent bookkeepers. Vrouzr I. GARLAND, '30, Department trial class and this year there are five left from that class, but the Freshman Class this year is the largest that it has ever been. The size of the VVestbrook High School ij 41 class makes it hard for the teachers of the me- chanical part of this course, but they have divided them so well that everyone receives the right amount of teaching. During the four years of the industrial course a student gets general wood work, automobile con- struction, pattern making, forge work, sheet metal work and a pretty good course of the machine shop and iron work. In school they get from four years of Mechanical Drawing, four years of English, two years of Algebra, and one year of Geometry, Science, Chemistry, and Industrial Mathematics. The main object of the industrial course is to make good all-round mechanics out of those taking the course. lXlACHINE SHOP The Machine Shop is the most important part of the course. Here everything is learned about handling machines, working and making things out of iron and steel. Most of this work is done by Juniors and Seniors, while the Sophomores do some work in the shop. The Juniors are making small screw-jacks capable of lifting weight up to twenty tons. The Seniors are making large vises out of iron and steel. Besides this both classes have worked together in making many things. The most important of these is the iron parts of the new Mechanical Drawing tables. They are now working on the iron parts for the bleachers of the new American Legion Hall. DONALD E. ALLEN, '30. PATTERN SHOP Pattern making could easily be called a job of accuracy. No matter how good a pattern looks it is of no use at all unless it is exact in shape and size. In the shop all patterns are made of soft wood, each containing many different parts. After the pattern has been carefully made and painted so as to determine which parts are to be omitted, the next job is that of the foundry. Each year the Junior Class is taken to the foundry, where many things are explained much easier than they could be in the shop. At the foundry the pattern is placed upon a drag and this upon a molding board, then fine sand is poured upon the pattern and tamped down by hand so as to allow the pattern to he removed without destroying the mold. A bottom board is then placed on the work so that the work may be turned over and a cope placed on which is fastened at each end by pins. A spruce is then inserted and sand tamped around this as it was in the drag. The spruce is the hole through which the iron molding is poured to form the pattern. After this is completed the cope is separated from the drag and the wooden pattern removed. If the pattern fails to come out With- out destroying the mold it shows that the pattern maker has made a mistake, for this is the impor- tant thing he should be careful of, because each pattern should be drafted so that it can be easily removed.

Now each one of us must choose his own pathway into the future and this choosing, which is so diflicult and so dangerous to many, has been made easy for us by the kindly advice and good will of our teachers. In later years, when each one has found his place in this vast world, he will look back upon the days spent in VVestbrook High as a happy dream never quite endfd. In the fall of 1925, we entered the high school for the first time with a crowd of 110 eager com- panions. Our number has gradually diminished through the years until now there are only 56 left. Yet what we lack in quantity we make up in quality As Freshmen we gained very little recognition. We were given a tame reception, but when we received the present Freshmen, we did not follow this good example. In our Sophomore year we defeated the two upper classes in a subscription contest of the Curtis Publishing Company, thus awakening in them the fact that there was a Sophomore Class worth consiclerirg. The next year our fame was further added to, when three of our fellow classmen: Kathryn Small, Effie Knowlton, and Edwin Richardson took part in the Assembly Play, and Kathryn Small a'so took part in the Public Speaking Contest. Throughout the four years our class has been well represented in athletics by the following people: Wi'1na Mcliride, Carolyn Emery, Edith Crawford, Eva Johnson, Collin Roma, Thomas llarbour, Donald Ilrawn, Herbert Crawford, Adalbert Gerry, Harold Mcllride, Kenneth Chick, Thornton Douglass. Cecil Hawkes, Philip Kelly, and Clayton Verrill. This year prizes were offered for the best es- says on Why Should I Vote, and although the first prize was won by a junior, the second and third were won by members of our class. Mary Peabody won the second prize and Edwin Rich- ardson. the third. In spite of our small number, we are well represented on the honor roll, which should be and is the most desired honor of every class. At the class election Thomas Barbour, who was our president last year, was again chosen for that office. The other officers are: Vice-President-Harold McBride. Secretary-Wilma McBride. Treasurer-Herbert Crawford. Those obtaining an average of 8511 and over for the four years are: Lisette Bettez, Alma Binford, Philip Bragdon, Catherine Brann, Edith Crawford, Muriel Crowell, Carolyn Emery, Bea- trice Gould, Karl Hendrickson, Effie Knowlton, Florence Larrabee, Florence Marsters, Wilma McBride, Grace McFarland, Mary Peabody, Edwin Richardson, Carl Rosvally, Gladys Saw- yer, Kathryn Small, Shirley Spiller, Dorothy Staples.

CLASS OF '30 Our Freshman year was nearly without inci- dent. Of course, we were given the usual Recep- tion and all members were very proud of their pins but the remainder of the year was tranquil enough. Like all Sophomores, we were not noticed a great deal during our second year. However, when Norwood MacDonald, an upperclassman, became ill, Robert Gorrie was given his part in the assembly play, Honor Bright, thus adding a bit of honor to our class. Now we are juniors, and there is only one K lj year before we shall be called Seniors This year at the first class meeting the following offi- cers were elected: President-Charles Gerry. Vice-President-John Estes. Secretary-Beatrice King. Treasurer-Charles Sinclair. Later we received' our rings, of which We are still proud. We were represented in sports by Donald Allen, Milton Collins, Charles Sinclair, and A. Waylalid Hawkes, while Hazel Hanna and Merrill Tracy have parts in the high school play.

We left home with normal appearance but when we entered the hall our complexions and garments had undergone such a complete change that we were hardly recog- nizable to our friends. The grand march was led by Mortimer Chaplin pushing Miss Harriet Pom- erleau, youngest member of the class, who was dressed in a nightcap and gown, in a baby carriage. Robert Chase gave such a remarkable vocal solo that all present believed a nightingale was in the midst. Herman Russell exhibited a step of the Charleston, which we believe was devised on the spur of the moment, but which met with favor. We were presented to a receiving line made up of the faculty and members of the school board, and this was followed by the Freshman dance and the whole evening proved to be a great success and was much enjoyed. hast For Graduation---BLUE SUITS by Hart, Schaffner 86 Marx 5292 v E RY s P E C I A L HASKELL 86 JON ES, Portland Westbrook High School I El1 ',5Q Ulumplimmfs nf the Signm Qllflpsilun gllraierniig Qlnmplimenfs nf the Qtlpltat Sigma Snruriig EBEN DOW, Druggist The fliexall Storey South Windham, Maine LANDRY'S BARBER SHOP CARTER BROTHERS CO. jewelers 521 Congress Street Portland, Me.

Each year VVestbrook.High sends forth into the world a graduating class of boys and girls that represent well four years' training. Many of these students are mounting stairs to success, but not until they have accomplished the unusual do we recall an individual. However, each one is shaping his life with hope of happiness. The class of 1928 left Westbrook High forever on June 15, 1928, and theirs are truly varied. On the hill of success may these students never meet a friend coming down.

The minute that he saw the group, Cap- tain Kidd bellowed, What luck today? Ah, Captain, only this iron chest taken from the good ship Knowledge, answered the second mate. Well, hurry and open it, because it may con- tain gold, or something as valuable as gold, com- manded the bold captain. The two pirates placed the box on the beach and easily broke the lock. When Captain Kidd opened the chest, he stood looking into a box filled with papers and magazines. Although this man is known as a desperate pirate leader, strange as it may seem, he likes to read. Eagerly he gave a command not to be disturbed that afternoon and. picking up a weekly edition of The Bowdoin Orimzt, Brunswick, Maine, sat down on the sand and commenced to read. ' After he had finished reading, he murmured to himself, That paper certainly shows the school life and activities, but where's the joke column ? Next he read The C01'M7lZFHC0711G1'lf Number of The l'VU.fIli11Qf07l Record, East Machias, Maine. Capta'n Kidd paused to laugh over this joke, Hjunkman, spare that car, Touch not a single nut! In youth it took me far, And now I'll save it but- It needs something done to it. All of which reminds me of this one: Walter Gardner, regarding his chariot with feelings of affection, strengthened by a leaning toward econ- omy, forced the car into the garage and asked Ilenry Durgan what could be done to make it into a first class car. Henry lifted the hood, poked around the engine, crawled under it, and lay on his back, catching the drips of oil and gasoline, gave a hasty glance at the tires, turned the lights on and off, tried the door hinges and finally punched the horn. Then gave his judgment: Brother, he said, if that were my car, I'd jack the horn up and run a new car under it. The pirate leader discarded this book for an- other paper, The Clark News, Worcester, Mass., published weekly by the undergraduates of Clark University. As he put this paper back onto the sand, he remarked approvingly to himself, That's a good newspaper with plenty of jokes, a literary department, and an account of the school life. Then he quoted to himself : Education as she is learned. In the Biology department: A blizzard is the inside of a hen. In the Mathematics department: A circle is a round, straight line with a hole in the middle. And in history: George Washington married Mary Curtis and in due time became the father of his country. The Boston Unizfcrsity News, Tloston, Mass., was the next victim on the list. This paper. as a well-balanced edition. pleased the Captain to such a point that he read this joke to the wanes: A man and woman were about to enter a res- taurant when suddenly the cute young lady stopped with an excited exclamation: 'I guess we will have to dine elsewheref and added. 'you aren't allowed in there.' The astonished gentleman stood and stared at her. Td like to know why notl' he exclaimed. 'Don't you see the sign in that window P' she asked. He glanced at the small sign that read: 'No dogs or other PETS allowed in this restaurantf Westbrook High School . 355 B CHRYSLER MOTORS De Soto 626 Forest Avenue, Portland . 86 B.

This was T110 Tripod, Saco, Maine, the school magazine of the pupils of Thornton Academy. Witliin this hook, Captain Kidd discovered that the modern translation for We Carthaginians do not hear hearts so dull is We Carthaginians aren't so dumb. After he had finished reading this hook, Captain Kidd exclaimed, This book has everything! The literary department dc- serves special mention. The sun was setting behind the horizon when Captain Kidd, his afternoon's pleasure over, de- cided that this plunder was certainly worth its Weight in gold. MAXINE HOPKINSON, '30.

VVith five valuable players lost by graduation and only two veterans available the remainder of the team was picked from inex- perienced players. Twenty-eight girls attended the first practice, but at the close of the season there will be about twenty girls left on the squad. Elizabeth Shorey and Celeste Lombard, new mentors at Westbrook this year, put the girls through the necessary prac- tice and arranged an interclass schedule. The Senior team, comprised of Wilma McBride, Car- olyn Emery, Edith Crawford, Eva Johnson. Pearle Davis, and Kathryn Small, won all of its games and will be presented with numerals at the end of the year. At the close of the interclass contest the varsity team was chosen. Captain Wilma Mcllride, a forward last year, was back in her old position with Dorothy Esty as her mate in the area. Man- ager Carolyn Emery held the jumping posit'on with Mildred Doucette at side-center. Playing at the guard positions were Eva johnson and Mil- dred Bell. Shirley Armstrong put up a good fight at center when Emery shifted to side-center. Dorothea Atkins, with her superior height, turned in some good work as guard. The team got away to a good start by winning its first game with Brunswick High. The outstanding feature of this year's schedule, in the opinion of the players, was the overnight trip to Rcckland. This game was on February 15. The girls arrived in Rockland in the after- noon and were taken to the High School, where a rally was held. Before the game the girls were assigned to various homes, where they would spend the night. The game itself was one of the most exciting played this season. At the end of the first quarter Westbrook was in the lead with 11 points to Rockland's 4. Our girls started the second quarter with a determination to keep ahead but the Rockland girls played fast and furious and the game ended with the score 45 to 27. in favor of our opponents. Although the Rockland team is the champion in that part of tlie state, the Westbrook girls gave them a hard fight. Those who made the trip were Coach E. Shorey, Captain Wilma Mcllride, Manager Car- olyn Emery, Dorothy Esty, Eva Johnson, Shirley Armstrong, Dorothea Atkins, Hazel Hanna, Mil- dred Doucette, and Edith Crawford. The substitutes who loyally attended the prac- tice sessions and opposed the regular team deserve a great deal of credit. Those girls are Hazel Hanna, Shirley Armstrong, Hazel Davis, Edith Crawford, Dorothea Atkins. Eda Folson, Beatrice King, Flora Derry, Ruth Chase, Lorraine Drink- water, Lauretta Fields, Doris Doucette, Helen Spiller, and Mildred Nelsen. This year graduation will claim only two of the varsity players so there is a brighter outlook for the team of 1930.

The team of 1928 was handcapped by the loss of Chamard. star catcher, and Farley, star pitcher of the past seasons. Newman Young, however, molded a strong team out of his material, and their record shows that he was rewarded. VVestbrook lost control of the two year batting trophy, which was won by South Portland. VVestbrook. with the loss of some of its stars. was not given even a chance to win : but Newman Young made some new stars to fill their places and the team came through in real Vtfestbrook style. lt was the best and fastest moving team in the league. The team opened its schedule with a 7-4 victory over the Alumni team. The team made a great showing in this game. South Portland and VVestbrook clashed at the league ground on June 11 before a large audience. VVestbrook came out on the long end through the line pitching of Violette. l-le allowed South Portland only two hits during the whole game. Ludgie Violette was the outstanding player in the league.

FOOTBALL VVhen the 1928 football season opened, Coach Newman Young had the prospects of a great team, having ten letter-men back in togs and others who had some experience from the past season. Nevertheless. VVestbrook had a very un- successful season. losing seven and tying one game out of a possible eight victories. It was the same case of hard luck that has been with the team the past few years. Captain Brawn was injured in the middle of the season, receiving a dislocated shoulder and four cracked ribs. which prevented him from playing the remaining games. Captain Rrawn's playing was the big factor in the team showing throughout the season. Allen and Douglass. star tackles. were injured during the season, preventing them from playing their usual good game. The greatest handicap the team had. however, was weight. It was the lightest high school team in this section of the state. Every team it played outweighed it by many precious pounds. Through all this tough luck the team stuck together and fought the battle as if they were in tip-top form. They never gave up until the final whistle. The team opened with a close game with Mex- ico, defeated by one point, 7-6. The following games were heartbreakers, as almost all the games were. When a team, like Westbrook's, holds its opponents on even terms throughout the game and then loses in the last minute it must be the work of Mr. Jinx. Some examples of this are the Portland game, in which VVestbrook led at half time, 6-0, only to be robbed by a couple of freak plays in the last half, the game ending, 12-6, with Westbrook on the short end, and the game played with Cony High at Augusta. VVestbrook battled Cony on even terms until the final half minute. A long pass was the thing called Mr. Jinx in this game. - The final game was the only time Westbrook was not defeated: Westbrook and Lewiston battled at the Warren League Grounds. It was a wet day. The teams battled the first half about even. The second half, however, Westbrook out- played Lewiston, having the ball in its own ter- ritory throughout the half. The game ended with Westbrook in possession of the ball and only eight yards from the goal line. McBride and Barbour starred in this game, which ended in a scoreless tie. The outstanding players were Brawn and Doug- lass on the defense: Gerry, McBride and Harbour starred on the offense. The team, as a whole, was a fast, light, smooth-working machine. With the breaks against them, it was wonderful that they showed so much spirit as they did, never giving up. At a meeting of the letter-men, after the season closed, Charles Sinclair was elected to lead the team in 19729. At an assembly later in the year letters were awarded to Captain llrawn, Mcllride.
