The memories may remain in the minds of the students a few years, but we, the members of the Editorial Board, have attempted to record the history upon these leaves for eternity: that when memories become dim, they may be refresh- ened by scanning the printed pages of this 1930 edition. lVe have attempted to portray the social and sporting occurrences. as well as the liter- ary achievements of the scholars. in a manner which we hope will be pleasing to our readers. Therefore, we beg that your criticism be based on an understanding of the willing toil we have performed in order to compile, edit, and pub- lish this edition for your approval. D. VV. L., 550. SCHOOL SPIRIT The success of every school, large or small, depends a great deal on the spirit of the stu- dents. The achievement in studies and sports and the rating of the school as a whole is de- termined by the attitude and effort of the stu- dent body. This attitude is called School Spirit, and, good or bad, it is present in every School. lYestbrook High, a small school, competing in athletics with schools many times its size, and winning out, has been noted for its won- derful school spirit, and it cannot afford to lose it. Now, more than ever before, VVest- brook High needs the support of the student body in her games. Real school spirit never deserts even a losing team and it is at the games that every individual can show that school spirit which belongs to VVestbrook High. Excitement is stirred to the highest pitch when two rival teams come together. If there is a large crowd at a game, the players are greatly encouraged. A good play brings a yell from the crowd and the louder the yell the more encouraged are the players. They are in- stilled with a desire to overwhelm and crush their opponents and sweep to victory. Cheer leaders should be present at out-of- town games as well as home games, and the student body should be there to support them. F. B., '3l. WHY WAIT lVashington! llihat a thrill the very sound of the word gives us. To think of New York! the Capitol! Luray Caverns! a dress parade at lNest Point! But-sad to relate, owing to shortsightedness our Freshman year, a very small number will go to VVashingt0n. If we had formed a XVashington Club our first year, earned money by giving dances and possibly a bazaar, what a different story. But we just can't expect dad to look pleasant and beam upon us when we ask for the small sum of 384.50-and graduation only a month away. So, Freshmen, profit by our mistake. Form a VVashington Club and go to it. R. E. I.., '30, COMPULSORY PHYSICAL TRAINING Physical training has,.no doubt, a distinct relation to an alert mind. There can be no question as to the benefits received by each ' ' A The Blue ff white 8 individual from sucll physical development if properly harmonized, because it not only bene- fits the body but also prepares one for mental activity. Westbrook, as well as any other school, could well make use of a daily course in calis- thenics because teachers find it hard to teach a class that is restless and unable to concen- trate on its studies. In this case, it would both help the teachers and scholars greatly because a period of strenuous drill tends to refresh the mind. There are, of course, difficulties to overcome in establishing a system of physical training in VVestbrook. The greatest of these is the lack of a gymnasium, which we hope will be rem- edied by a new school building. However, many other schools Find it convenient to exer- cise in the classrooms or out of doors when the weather is mild. The subject arises, Why make it compul- sory? Mainly because it will reach and bene- fit the individual rather than a few enthu- siastsg furthermore, the benefits can only be realized when each pupil partakes in that which makes study and recitation more pleas- ant. Eventually, in the course of progress, Westbrook will have compulsory physical training, why not now? A Q '31 ..., . GUM CHEWING Chewing gum in public has always been a serious question, especially in the schools. Some people, it is sad to say, look upon the matter as unimportant. The ones who do so are openly showing bad taste. Fortunately, for the good of all concerned, this habit is becoming less prominent. It seems that many are beginning to realize that the habit in no way benefits them, and in many ways injures them. The habit has been known to grow to such an extent that a serious opera- tion is necessary in later life, due to the great amount of sugar absorbed by the system. This, of course, is exceptional. The habit is disgusting. A well-bred person no more feels justified chewing gum in public than he would walking down the street eating his breakfast, dinner, or lunch. Even a child chewing gum in public attracts unfavorable at- tention, not to himself alone, but to his parents. Unfortunately, the habit is even more objec- tionable when practiced by women than by men. The utmost care in regard to one's out- ward appearance may count for little or nothing when a girl is seen walking down the street opening and closing her mouth like a fish gasping for air. This question has also caused considerable trouble in school. When a guest speaker is honoring us with his presence, what impres- sion of the school must be formed when he sees fifteen or twenty mouths rhythniically opening and closing before him. This habit has ceased to be a joke. Every pupil should have sufficient self-respect and ordinary de- cency to refrain from chewing gum in school. The reason for one's failure to impress his employer may be because of an offensive habit such as this. It also takes away from one's reputation, and marks him as ill-bred and uncultured, without respect for himself or others. R. M., '30, SCHOOL PRIDE Ever since civilization started and schools were first founded, there has been a desire in the heart of every boy or girl to have his or her school ranked the best. Nothing can stir them to greater indignation than to have anyone speak slightingly of their school, especially if said speech is uttered by a member of some other school. There are various ways for scholars to show their pride, such as in ath- letics, ranking high in class work, and an up- to-date appearance of the school. As regarding athletics, those who try out for the teams have pride in the school, and if they find that they are not needed or are not physically fit for such exercise, they follow along with the school body and cheer their team to victory. Westbrook High School 9 Ranking high is another desire of the ma- jority of the pupils. Many are on the honor roll, and as time goes on many more are added to this list. If everyone studies, it not only gives him a place on the honor roll but also in- creases the ranking of the school with others. The personal appearance of the school should be kept up to the highest standard so that people would be proud to say that their school was the neatest of all others. The lawns should be kept clean from leaves and other waste. The floors of the school should be kept clean from torn papers and other such things so that if an official of the schools of the state should walk in and inspect the school, he would go back and tell the people what a good appearance this school made. VVhen tourists pass through a town or city they are always observant of public buildings, and if the school buildings are in a poor con- dftion, it helps to give strangers a poor opinion of the town or city, whichever it happens to be. Year by year one sees new buildings being erected throughout the rural districts in place of the old red schoolhouses that were a com- mon sight a decade or so ago, which goes to show that people are taking more and more pride in the appearance of their schools. Taken as a whole, pride is one of the high- est essentials to the welfare of a good. prosper- ous high school. C. C., '32. COURTESY One of the most trustworthy tests of char- acter is courtesy. It is the outward sign of the soul's nature. Courtesy is not something artificial. It springs from the heart. It is an expression of thoughtfulness for others. It is doing to them as we would be done byg and at its foundation lie the great moral qualities of kindness and self-respect. Nothing will so rehne the character as the practice of courtesy. It has a reflex action on one's own mind, banishing therefrom coarse- ness and rudeness. It implants there a delicacy of feeling and a sensitive sympathy that will End expression in beautiful deeds, in attentions that ease the way for others, in the doing of little kindnesses that most leave undone or despise, in tolerance and forbearance. VVho- ever aims to be truly courteous will have con- stantly before him a lofty ideal of conduct, a standard of perfection that cannot help but lift him in his attempt to attain it. Nothing, either, will afford so much protec- tion as courtesy. No one can insult a perfectly courteous person. Rudeness vanishes from his presence. Manners, the outward expression of cour- tesy, are sometimes called the minor morals , yet such is their importance in daily life that we cannot class them as minor matters. The word manners refers to the specific acts of daily life. It deals with small things as well as great. It implies obedience or disobedience to the proprieties as regulated by custom. Good manners are rooted in courtesy, which we have seen as an essential element in a Hne character. So desirable are good manners. so pleasing to others, and so conductive to suc- cess, that those of defective and even thor- oughly bad characters strive to imitate them in order to pass among worthy people and to keep a place in society. This side of character and conduct is one that should never be neglected. It is the part of benevolence and kindness to make all inter- course with others as pleasant as possible. No right-minded person will willingly add to the hatefulness and misery that already exist in the world. No self-respecting person will be otherwise than courteous to all whom he meets. So let us, as students of Westlnrook High, be as courteous to our teachers as we are to our own parents and friends. B. Q., '31, 10 DEBATING AND PUBLIC SPEAKING Perhaps it is a little unjust to compare Westbrook High School with Portland High and Deering High Schools, and again, perhaps it will serve as an incentive if Westbrook High students realize that with a little effort, they could have those same things which other schools enjoy, for example, debating clubs and public speaking classes. Portland and Deering. as outstanding ex- amples, have debating teams that are widely known. Why doesnit Westlorook exert herself a little and have a debating club that will at least rival these other teams? It would take time, and it would take effort, but there is nothing in this world worth while that can be attained without effort. Why can't we have a real, live club with interested and energetic members seeking in- formation and experience in the art of debat- ing? Debating can truly be called an art, which many students and many men outside of school know little about. -Wliy can't we have a club with a definite membership, a definite meeting place, and a definite ambitiong a club that could debate and discuss interesting questions of this time and thus discover many things that would not ordinarily reach them through their regular studies. K Too, public speaking is certainly worthy of consideration. For a number of years, the course has been omitted entirely. Last year the class was started, meeting on Monday and lN'ednesday, fourth period only. This year the class was continued under the same conditions. Even if this class should become one of the afternoon classes, a few more members might be added to the present list. At present, there is but one boy member, which makes it rather difficult to'do much dramatic work. As a rule, boys usually dodge such classes as public speaking, for even the name seems to drive terror to their hearts. The class is not one of those so-called cinch classes, but it is not too difficult for any stu- dent, and many would find it to their advan- The Blue of-r VVhite tage if sometime they had studied such a course as this. There is another important factor in work of this type. The English teachers have at times endeavored to dramatize short sections of the literature read by their classes, and they have discovered that some of their students had real talent, while other members were nearly frightened to death by the mere thought of going before the class. Oral topics have been tried with a little success when they be- came compulsory, but many students were anxious enough to overcome this embarrass- ment and did not know how. VVe may find that on some occasion we will be the center of attraction, at some club meet- ing or at any gathering where a sudden speech is demanded. Can you picture the student who dares not to face his class with an oral topic. carefully prepared outside of class, before a sea of unfamiliar faces? Debating teams and public speaking classes do have advantages. VVhy can't VVestbrook High School try these two classes as real classes and not fill ins, and thus discover their true value while keeping herself up to date? M. V. B., '30. ASSEMBLY One of Westbrook High School's greatest problems is the time that we spend as a stu- dent body in the Main Room. There is room for about one-fourth the num- ber who assemble there, and the room is so crowded that it is very uncomfortable. We are compelled to sit with another person, if we sit at all, and then there are all of the Freshmen who must stand, besides members of other classes. VVith this handicap preventing our having assemblies such as other schools have, we really ought to try and help those who take part in the exercises by keeping as perfect order as is possible where so many gather for a short time. - Westbrook High School ll Several times, unnecessary remarks 'and noises are made by those who do not stop to think of how much disturbance they are caus- ing. It is not school spirit to try to distract everyone's attention from the speaker of the moment by our own foolish actions. It doesn't seem as though it is necessary for our principal to have to caution us as to our behaviour whenever We have a distinguished speaker in our midst. We are old enough to be in high school: surely, we are old enough to practice the best manners that we have at hand. Perhaps this is one reason for our useless entreaty for a new high school. VVe do not seem to appreciate what we haveg therefore, we would doubtless feel the same towards an- other and better auditorium. Assemblies need the help and cooperation of everyone, so let us do our best the next time we are called together as a body. C.

It is very interesting work because they don't see many people to whom they can talk. so they tell me all their troubles. They have a great many of them, too. You see. the windows al- ways know all the family affairs, or the hap- penings in a store, or all the sermons in churchg it depends, of course. where they live. Perhaps you have never realized before how human windows really are. Did you ever notice how much a dirty win- dow locks like a little child with a dirty face? Then, after it has been washed and is all bright and shiny, it seems to sit upright and shout to all the world, Fee how nice I look! There is nothing more aggravating than a dirty window. Yet, even after it has been washed, it will not stay clean. Neither can a little child keep its face clean. After all. per- haps the dirt on the windows is none other than bits of sand hunting for their old friends and ancestors that were made into glass. A broken window is like a broken spirit. It was new and shiny once. the house to which it gave light was bright with paint. But no one cares about it now. The windows are stuffed with old papers and rags, the house needs paintfng and everyone is downhearted. Per- haps the downheartedness is partly the win- dow's fault, for some of them get discouraged quickly. If they are just a little cracked, they get very impatient before they are fixed again. other window, but think of the store windows and the valuable goods they are protecting. It has taken a great deal of work and care to make the plate glass windows and to bring them to the stores without breaking them. I am always very careful when I wash them. so as not to break them. These windows tell very interesting stories of the people that go by. They are very proud of their responsibilities and they like to show off the goods displayed if they are arranged attractively. Others are ashamed of themselves and of the slipshod way in which the storekeeper has put the things in the window. Sometimes I give these windows a little extra scrub to try to brighten up their spirits. After awhile some of them get as careless as their owners and do not m'nd if the cobwebs and dust do show. Some of the dirt, however. are marks of which they are far from ashamed. Last week I was washing the window of a candy store, and in one corner was the print of two little hands. Of course I started scrubbing them off, but the window protested and then told me the story. Two little girls had stopped to look in the window at the candy and had put their dirty hands on the window. One had said, I'd buy that big lollypop if I was rich. The other one answered, I wouldn't, I'd buy some animal crackers so I could give my Mumsy some. The window was proud to have that thought- ful little girl's handprint left there to remind him that all the world was not cold. Then some people consider windows merely glass. H I always like to wash the church windows, too, they are so beautiful. Did you ever stop to think of all the work there is in a church window? In order to make the stained glass, the designs have to be painted on plain glass first, then the glass must be heated until the designs become stained into it. In this way they portray main parts of the Bible and Christ's life. These windows tell me wonder- ful stories about His life and have such a calm and serene air about them that I always feel at peace with the world after I have been there. I like to wash the windows in a real home the best of all. Wfhen I am washing the out- side of the windows in the kitchen, I always imagine that a new batch of cookies or a cake has just been baked. Sometimes I'm wrong, but kitchen windows with pretty gingham cur- tains always look mysteriously important to me. Often they look as though they were planning the next meal, or a party, or some- thing else interesting. It is hard to resist the inviting looks that just hint at the baking that has been done. I always scrub the kitchen windows hard because a sunny kitchen helps to keep the cook in good humor. Sun parlor windows are always cheerful. Through them you can see the gay colored cushions and rugs and just imagine the good times the family has there. These windows are usually very tired in the morning, for many people keep their radios in the sun parlor and the noise and the sun make them feel tired. Many times people scold because these win- dows look streaked, and they blame it on to meg whereas, it really isn't my fault. It is hard for a window to have to look the sun in the face all day and keep shining, sometimes, if they are tired, it makes them cry. Of course that makes them look streaked, but if I have just washed them I get the blame. I guess people will never understand a window. If a window sticks, they slam itg if it dries in streaks, there is something wrong with the glass. I-Ialf the people don't give a window a fair chance. The Blue fr VVhite But consider windows as material things- could we possibly live without them? Think of all the light they give to your home, of all the sunshine they let in to brighten things up. Think what a cure for the blues it is to sit by the window and watch the people and auto- mobiles go by. Did you ever sit by the window and look out into the night? Think of all the different places the people you see are going. The lights of automobiles dart up and down the street, some going for pleasure, perhaps some are a long ways from home, others are coming homei once in a while a sleighride jingles merrily by. When airplanes were un- common how you would rush to a window to see one. How much you would miss but for a window. A window is also a great consolation to an invalid. One can while away many long min- utes idly looking out of the window. On a cold morning it is fascinating to see how many pic- tures .Iack Frost has painted during the night. For the windows are his easels on which he practices his nightly lessons in art for Mother Nature. It is interesting to watch these pic- tures change as the sun, laughing at them, comes out and chases them away. All of these windows. no matter how hard I try to wash them clean, reflect the habits, characteristics and life of their owners: so are the eyes of the human being the windows of the soul. revealing it to the world. I have seen many eyes I would like to have washed, for they show low morals, lack of ambition, de- spair, hostility, or a criminal character. Of course there are just as many shining with faith, ambition, friendliness, and a good char- acter. It is these eyes revealing a shining soul, just as it is the attractive windows revealing shining neatness and cleanliness within, that makes me feel that it's a pretty good world after all. . D. VV.

Peggy Somers, a popular co-ed, was the victim of the Chi Kappa initiation. Make her carry our books for a week, a voice from the corner suggested. Oh, that's not half bad enough. Let her braid her hair in a pigtail and wear high shoes to school, drawled Anne, who was standing in the doorway. These were some of the suggestions for the public initiation. It was finally agreed that poor Peg must, in some way, get a date with Bill Farrell for the Victory Dance that all were in hopes of attending. The dance was to be given the following Saturday evening after the big football game with Bolton University, frrozfiding the Dale men came off the field victorious. Bill came from a small country town in the west. Unlike many other boys, Bill had to work every spare minute of the day. In spite of this fact, he always rated high in class work and managed to find time to attend every foot- ball practice. He had become a necessary cog in the varsity machine on which he filled the quarterback position. Spare moments found Bill doing garden work for residents of the city. Because of lack of time and money, this game young man sometimes appeared to be cheating the barber. His few clothes were not of the very best and oftentimes sadly in need of a pressing. Twenty-five cents seemed a large sum to Farrel, who could do a good job in fifteen minutes when time permitted. Never- theless, a better example of cleanliness could not be found on the campus. Owing to his limited spending money, Bill was seldom invited out with the other boys. Many were jealous of his physical ability, others envied him for the skill and courage he displayed on the gridiron, while some won- dered at his high scholastic standing. Girls were nice to him because he was a varsity man, but never was he a member of their gay parties. On the whole, the name of Bill Far- rell caused merriment among the students. iVithout him many football games would have been lost. Gctober 12th found every heart beating for old Dale. Two large, brightly decorated busses stood at the gate headed for Bolton. The first was filled with the fellows who were going on the field with heart and soul set on winning the fray. A happy throng of girls and boys in striking sport costumes were rushing and scrambling into the second bus. All seemed to be singing a different tune. but all came in on the chorus: ' VVe will fight, fight, fight. For the Blue and Whitef' In one corner of the bus sat Peggy schem- ing and thinking of some way out of her ter- rible predicament. The drive seemed very long to her, but finally the large machine arrived at Bolton, and the rival students greeted each other hilariously. One hour later the bands could be heard playing loudly from the bleachers. Both teams were warming up. Suddenly the report of a gun was heard, signifying the beginning of the game. Come on, boys, shrieked some wild youth. Beat Bolton, came from the corner. Come on, 16, called Peggy. A stalwart form wearing the blue and white turned abruptly with a look of amazement on his face. Never before had a feminine voice called Bill's number. But this meant little to Farrell, who was on the field to play football. The game was hard fought to the final whistle and only by Bolton's failure to rush the ball over the line did the Dale eleven come off the field with a 7 to 6 victory. This was a surety that the excited group would sponsor the Victory Dance. As the players trotted to the locker rooms, each received a pat on the back or a comment on the game. Bill suddenly turned his ruffled head as someone touched his elbow. Great game you played, Bill. Peggy Somers stammered. Thanks a lot, Miss Somers, replied Far- rell, and then he was gone. Peggy knew that her scheme was a failure and she began to lose courage. It didn't seem Westbrook High School I7 right to trick a fellow as brave and plucky as Farrell. Why couldn't her victim be one of the fellows who didn't play football, one who was equally as physically lit and had twice as much time and money as Bill but who had a streak of yellow down his back. Peg didn't remember the bus drive home. She knew only that she had disputed in her mind and finally come to the conclusion that she would not trick a fellow of such high char- acter into a date, regardless of the penalty. That night as Peg dressed for the dance, she could hear the soft strains of the orchestra. VVhen crossing the campus she heard her name called. A look of surprise covered her face as she turned and recognized the fellow. Oh, Miss Somers, I didn't mean to be rude xy hen I left you so suddenly this afternoon. but I thought you wouldn't care to be seen talking to me until I was cleaned up, spoke Farrell, in a polite manner. Oh, that was all right, said Peg, but why aren't you going to the dance ? Well, you see, I-I haven't a Tux and do not dance very well, so I thought I would stay outside. Sit down if you aren't in a hurry, Bill said, very shyly. Peggy sat down on the bench beside Far- rell. They chatted for a While, but thinking that his friend would rather be at the dance, Bill escorted her to the door of the hall. He then went happily back to the frat house with a promise from Peg to see her the next Saturday, if another Victory Dance was given. l.ittle did Bill realize that they had been Watched from the sorority house. The silver lining of Bill's cloud seemed to fade. On Monday, as he passed the window of the sorority house. he overheard some girls joking about Peggy Somers sitting out with Bill Farrell. Oh, but it was only, a dare, exclaimed Margy Smith. This was enough for Bill. He knew now why Peggy's attentions were suddenly turned his way. For the next week Farrell avoided Peg on every possible occasion, but the Satur- day game with Cate College and the Saturday night date were ahead. Saturday afternoon found the Dale eleven facing a tough battle. At the end of the third quarter the score was tied, and Cate was threatening Dale. Farrel was fighting his hard- est in spite of the disappointment that he har- bored in his heart, and Peg, sitting nervously on the bleacher, wondered why he did not wave to her before going on the field. In the last two minutes of play, a Cate man recovered a fumble made by Dale and was prancing down the field for a touchdown. Bill Farrell, attempting to tackle him on the twenty-yard line, was kicked in the forehead and fell unconscious. He was carried oli' by the college physician. For a long time he was hysterical. In his delirium Bill cried and laughed and muttered to himself. She framed me. She tried to make a fool of me. Peg is like all of the others, just high-hat, Coach Vtfeldon distinguished, as the injured lad gasped for breath. The coach left to get some water and when he returned, Miss Somers, neatly attired in a blue sport costume, was on her knees beside Farrell. Little did she care of her dress as her arms rested on the dirty suit of the injured player and tears streamed down her cheeks. She was trying to explain between sobs that something had been a mistake. Seeing that the young man's mind seemed to be clearing, the coach left the couple alone for awhile. After some difficulty, Peggy finally suc- ceeded in explaining to Bill that it was true about the foolish wager for her to date him up, but that she had learned his real character and while doing so had fallen in love with him. Although the game with Cate was lost, Bill Farrell' promised to be in the game against Benton on the following Saturday. Next week will be my Victory Dance and we will both go inside, Bill joyously ex- claimed, as he left Peggy. 18 This statement puzzled Peg, but she decided that she didn't care if he went in his working clothes and danced all over her silver slippers. The six days intervening seemed like six years to the happy Miss Somers, but finally the big day came. The Dale gridmen stood against the strongest opponents they had met. Every man was Working for the team. After nearly every play the name of Farrell rang from the bleachers. A six to nothing victory sent the Dale boys happily home to prepare for the dance. That evening the campus rang with laughter and song. The orchestra could be heard play- ing a fox-trot. just after the third dance had begun, Peggy Somers entered the hall on the arm of a handsome young man in a Tuxedo. His hair was neatly cut and his attire could not have been more striking. They glided over the floor in perfect rhythm with the music. Some brilliant young lads came to the con- clusion that Peg's handsome friend was none other than Dale's own Bill Farrell. Everyone crowded about them. Girls went wild over Bill. Boys were shaking his hand, but Farrell raised his hand for the music to stop. He glanced at Peggy and then began. Folks, he said, I came here much against my parents' wishes disguised as a very poor boy. I did this to find who my true friends Were, and I think I have succeeded. WVhen you thought I had to work for a living, you were nice to me, but I was never one of your crowd. Now I will tell you who I am. My real name is Kent Gilbert. My father owns the large mine in Montana, Bill spoke very calmly. All stood aghast as they realized for the first time that their Bill Farrell was of one of the wealthiest families of the United States. Now that I have found my true friends, I think Miss Somers has something to tell you, said the proud young man. Peg said nothing but lifted the flower that hung from the shoulder of her dress and dis- played Bill's frat pin. The Blue G- VVhite Some sneaked away like beaten dogs while others stepped forward to offer apologies and congratulations, but Peggy nestled in her sweetheart's arms and they drifted away as the orchestra crooned, Someone Who's true and loyal to you, That's what I call a pal. D. E., '3l. THE SILENT SENTINEL The Sidney family had lived on their lonely farm for thirteen years when a wave of trag- edy engulfed them. It started with a thunder storm. During this storm, the family heard a queer moaning which seemed to come from the pond in back of the house. The moaning became louder and continued for nearly thirty minutes. Finally the son went out to see what it was. He was gone nearly three hours, and his parents began to worry. They waited awhile longer, but as he did not return, the father and a servant went out to look for him. They went at once to the pond where the moaning was hrst heard, but he was nowhere to be found. They then returned to the house for a light because it was quite dark. On their way back to the pond they found some foot- steps in the soft soil and followed them around the pond. The footsteps led them a little Way up a path and then stopped. The boy's father became so frightened that the pond was dragged, and detectives were stationed every- where. A thorough search was made-but in vain. The family of three still lived there but were very lonely. The girl was visited by many friends, and soon became engaged to a school- day sweetheart. One night, just six years later, as the sun was setting, she and her fiance were talking over the happenings of the past years. She seemed to be very lonesome and finally they took a walk down by the pond. They were gone so long that the girl's mother insisted upon going to the pond with her husband to make them come home. They could not find VVestbrook High School il.

After this the parents lived very quietly and were never seen going down to the pond. The negro servant was still there, and he kept the place very neat. The couple were getting old and did very little Work. One afternoon, when the sun was shining its brightest and everything was quiet, a thick cloud of smoke was seen rising from the house. The fire spread until all was ablaze. When the nearest neighbors arrived, they searched in vain for the members of the family. To this day in that lonely spot the chimney of the house still stands very erect, marred neither by the wind nor storm in any way, and the neighbors say that about ten o'clock every night a light is seen being carried about the chimney, down to the pond, and then back to the chimney. They can see no form, but the light is very steady and bright, They have come to believe that this light they see is that of the old father going to look for his two lost children. A. T., '30. FINIS While in school the hours drag slowly on, And days are ever endless, We cannot wait until vacation comesg We crave for freedom boundless. We yearn to go and shape our way through life, And make a name and fortune, We long to see the best that's in the world While we avoid misfortune. But fame and fortune aren't but for the asking, And life will not be always fair, For most of all our dreams and high ambitions Are merely castles built in the air. Too soon we'll learn how school was all too short, That fame is not all blissg We'll sorrow o'er that page of life that marked Our time at school-hnis. S.

There were many, many classrooms, The coat rooms were divine, Stairs and halls were wide and lighted- How everything did shine.

There was a lunchroom in the basement, Gymnasium in the rear, A wonderful big auditorium For the activities of the year.

Or a key to the lock of his hair? Can his eyes be called an academy Because there are pupils there? In the crown of his head what gems are found? Who travels the bridge of his nose? Can he use when shingling the roof of his house The nails on the end of his toes? Can the crook of his elbow be sent to jail? If so, what did he do? How does he sharpen his shoulder blades? I'll be hanged if I know, do you? Can he sit in the shade in the palm of his hand? Or beat on the drum of his ear? Does the calf on his leg eat the corn on his toes? If so, why not grow corn on the ear? THE AMERICAN PEOPLE What is an American? The inevitable ques- tion is arising again. I say again, for in truth this has been answered by many people both satisfactorily and logically, yet each has had a different idea on the subject. First, however, let me explain that I am taking the bigoted view entertained by many people of the United States that, in referring to Americans, we, un- der the Stars and Stripes, are the only persons meant. Rightly and justly the other Americans -people of Canada, Mexico, and the South American countries-complained loudly at our monopoly of a name which is no more ours than theirs. In truth we might use United Stations, but that sounds more like a name of incorporated gasoline stations than the name of a group of people. Therefore, through- out this essay in referring to Americans, I mean merely the children of Uncle Sam. Now let us trace roughly the history of these peo- ples in relation to wars--their purpose and outcome. In England early in the seventeenth century arose the cries of justice, Liberty, Equality! As a people we have, by several conflicts of varying length, obtained our liberty and jus- tice. Have we established equality? Let us consider this question. It is a familiar story how these souls which issued this triple demand came to America to execute their desires. These strong-minded Puritans proclaimed that never in this new land should there be anything but justice, lib- erty, and equality. Their first important war was with the French and Indians and in this struggle the soldiers were spurred on by the thoughts of liberty and freedom. And as right always rules, the English were victorious in the combat. Next came the Revolutionary W'ar, the merits and demerits of which have been preached, taught, and sung throughout the ages. Familiar to our ears is the cry of Pat- rick Henry, Give me liberty or give me death. Up to this time our ancestors had been O N i 'V The Blue fr White 22 endeavoring to secure their liberty. Equality had always been understood, but now it was being questioned. These people were deter- mined to have that which they had cried for in their native land-equality. Thus far they had succeeded. However, our next important war, the Civil War, was fought over that subject on which America was founded. By subjugating the negro the South gave birth to an absolute con- tradiction to the intents of their forefathers. Was that right? In our more recent World War the same subject arises. First, however, let me ask again, What is an American? Perhaps if many had made a study of their genealogy to find out from what country their forefathers came to America, they would not have entered the World War. In this struggle between na- tions, men of German, Austrian, and Russian lineage were arrayed against men in whose veins German, Austrian. and Russian blood flowed. Did God intend men to fight their kinsmen? Again arises this same subject. Have we as Americans a right to consider our- selves superior to the people of those nations who helped place us where we are today? As the years have stepped down the ladder of time, so have the good intentions of our Puritan fathers slipped through the minds of the generations. True, we have justice, and we could ask for no more freedom, but are we maintaining that theory of equality? A for- eigner anarchist Who, as a punishment, was told to read the lives of famous American men, once stated that he was surprised to realize the sound foundation of this country, built up by great men whose ancestors came from in- Huential countries across the water. Too, he was surprised at the small amount of this which was taught to foreigners as well as na- tive-born Americans, and the way in which the latter shunned the former. who are in truth merely kinsmen of our founders. Considering the fact that there are about four hundred fifty different languages spoken in America, has any citizen of the United States a right to scoff at another inhabitant be- cause of a peculiar foreign accent? In fact, our accepted American language has been stated by the English to be merely a descendant of, not a parallel with their spoken language. For a foreigner to become a true American citizen it takes live years of living in this country, plus much studying and anxiety. Even after aliens can claim naturalization pa- pers, they may be scoffed at by those often times whose ancestors did the same thing that they might be free. For instance, why scorn the jew? Did not his nation give to the world a stable and well-founded religion? And what, pray, has America to offer to counterbalance this great donation? In many cities the jews, as money lenders, have controlled and made stronger the financial situations-conditions without which no person, state, or country has hope of success. Therefore. why ostracize a person just because his name ends in -burg or -vitch ? - All over this country today are organizations urging the naturalization of foreigners, which means nothing more or less than the desire for equality. Therefore, let us who boast of American ancestors as far back as the Revolu- tion and even to the landing of the Pilgrims aid these diligent workers to insure the re- maining third of our founders' plea-namely, equality. In endeavoring to accomplish this, let us keep constantly before our eyes as a shining light The American's Creed : I believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people, whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States, a perfect Union, one and in- separable, established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I, therefore, believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, VVestbrook High School 23 Compliments of l 1 Complin-tents of I WESTBROOK TAVERN RUTARY CLUB 0 WESTBRUUK NWN ,fA23,Sd'fi R an 512 it -emi ff' PHILLIPS 86 WEBB LUMBER CO.

ALL IN THE LINE OF DUTY Police Captain, jim Doughty, sat with his muscular, six foot form bent over his desk in a brown study. His determined. handsome face showed signs of care, and care it was that troubled jim's thoughts. There were two rea- sons for this disturbance in the happy-go-lucky oFhcer's life. The first was a girl. .lim was not in love with this winsome maid, but under the spell of her charms he had prom- ised to help her find her boy-friend. Bill Jonson, who had fallen in league with some boot- leggers and was at present working on a rum- running vessel. The second reason for jim's state of mind was the rum situation in general. New York was no small city to try to keep dry. He had been commanding the liquor squad for three months, and so far had been practically a fail- ure. due to the fact that he had not been al- lowed to go on the speedboats. His chief was getting out of patience, and Jim's position was in jeopardy. One veiled warning had been sent to him already, but he was doing his best under the circumstances. wk x wk as :lf 11: as Chief wants to see you right away, Cap, called a boy from the door. jim heaved a sigh and straightened up. I'll be right in, he mechanically replied. The summons rather surprised him-he had not expected the lay-off so soon. Now he knew that he must be a failure. Getting to his feet and straightening his uniform a little, he strode over to the door leading to the inner office amid the pitying glances of his comrades. In another moment he was in the presence of the Police Commissioner. This austere officer looked up from his piles of ofhcial papers and addressed his subordinate. Captain Doughty, I presume you know just what your position in the force is at the present time and the incapability you are showing. Yes, sir, but I think you are judging me wrongly. I have been hampered by my orders to remain on land, and I have not been able to catch the fellows at work, truthfully stated the Captain. That may be true, and, in light of this state- ment, I think I will give you full sway to do as you please. However, Captain, either you must round up these violators in a month, or you must return to the regular ranks. Witli this the Commissioner again looked to his work, signifying that the interview was over. jim left with a lighter heart than he had pos- sessed for many a day. Now he could get the rum-runners while the goods were still on board and prevent them from ever landing it. He went immediately to his desk and busied himself with plans for action, for he had no time to lose. Calling his lieutenants to him, he gave them explicit instructions to notify him at once if anything out of the ordinary was re- ported by his lookouts. He gave strict orders for the speed boats to be ready at any instant for a chase over the waters of the bay. Finally he settled back, and surveying the eager men, he said, Well, boys, it's only a question of time now. Those slick guys will show up pretty soon, and when they do, welll go after them. I'll be right with you on the boat, and there'll be no more muddled orders. XVe stand so be a good chance of bagging them now, ready to start at a minute's notice. I'm going up for a little shut-eye. As jim had said, it was only a matter of t'me, but more time than he had reckoned on. Evidently the rum fleet had gone south to the VVest Indies for the illicit goods. He spent every shred of his time at headquarters. wait- ing for the next move of his quarry.

Oh, if something would only come up to break it! At last something did come up. One dark night the lighthouse at Sandy Hook reported that a small yacht had been cruising up and down the coast ever since sunset. In the twinkling of an eye, Captain Doughty sprang into action. His shrill whistle told every man in the building that he had only tive minutes to dress and report. In less than that time thirty men, fully clothed and armed for action, piled into the powerful cars and were whisked down to the docks and the boats. Jim lined them up, gave quick orders, filed them onto the boats and gave the word to cast off. Gathering speed, the long, low craft with all lights out left the wharf and sped down the bay. Soon they were on the spot where the runner had been seen. Jim, with the powerful glasses, scanned the horizon on all seaward sides, but not a speck broke the heaving surface of the sea. After scouting up and down the coast for two hours, Jim was convinced that the contra- band craft had eluded them, and with a heavy heart he signaled the pilots to return to the docks. Back at his desk the next morning, .lim re- viewed the facts. He had so far been unsuc- cessful in his duty. Although it was no fault of his, the Commissioner would not consider that and would put him in disgrace. Only three short days remained of his probation. The outlook was discouraging. Then there was that matter of the nurse. He had not done anything for her-he had been unable to. She must think him a shirker. Oh, well, he thought, as his optimism burst forth, it could be worse. I'll get another chance, maybe. Letter for you, Cap, called one of the men, tossing him an envelope. More business, thought Jim, but no, it wasn't business. There was no heading on the envelope, which was addressed in a very feminine hand. Opening it he read the following note: Dear Captain Doughty: i I got a note from my boy friend yesterday, apologizing for the way he had acted. He said he wanted to see me, i n The Blue E-r VVhite too. He had just got back from the south with a cargo, and he says they are going to try to land it tonight if it's dark. They tried last night, but they had to quit when their shore man telegraphed that the patrol boat was after them. I suppose you think this is treason against Bill, but I want to set him straight, and, as he really isn't a hard- ened crook, I think an arrest will set his mind against re- turning to this business. Please, for my sake, get him, Mr. Doughtyg but go easy on him. Your sincere friend, JANE Nawcomz. On reading this epistle, Iim's heart leaped with joy. At last something tangible to work on had appeared. Now he could lay a plan for action, and when they tried to land the stuff tonight he could be waiting for them. Think- ing quickly, he soon had a list of the wireless telegraph operators in the city. Then giving this to five men, he sent them out to round up the operators. Out of the twenty that the officers brought in, the accomplice of the boot- legger was soon picked and locked up. After notifying his shore squads to keep an eagle watch, he repaired with the company to the boats for the remainder of the day to be ab- solutely sure that every gun and piece of ap- paratus Was in perfect working order. The sky had been overcast for the last three days. so an attempt would surely be made to land when the rum-runner received no warning from the shore man. The stage was all set for the final act. At seven o'clock the hawsers were cast aboard, and the slim craft again set out on its quest. By seven-thirty it had left New York harbor and was out on the lower bay, where their prey would have to pass them. Then be- gan the ceaseless patrol from one shore to the other, a distance of three miles. Every light on the boat was out except the binacle lamp, and that was shaded so as to be invisible from the outside. The men were forbidden to smoke. The engine was muffled to inaudi- bility. The submarine detectors on the hull of the boat were us-ed every fifteen minutes. VVhen their own propellor was silenced, these marvelously sensitive pieces of apparatus could detect the passage of any vessel within vvootofook High School 27 ten miles of them. They stood a very good chance of bagging their prey. jim, on the bridge, with the phone of the detector on his ear, was the picture of watch- fulness. As the' craft swiftly cut the choppy waves, the salt spray blew over him, but he stood steadfast, frequently using the glasses. He was hoping and praying that he would suc- ceed tonight, for it was his last chance. Suddenly he .noticed a faint but increasing rustling in his receivers. Was that his quarry? The sound came from some distance, however, and he could not yet tell. The suspense made him hdget as he watched and waited. The rustle grew to a rumble and then to a roar much too loud for a small boat. It must be a linerf, thought Jim, and a liner it was. She soon passed them, but unaccountably the roar diminished only slightly. The only solution was another vessel. They were now almost exactly halfway be- tween the two coasts, and Jim ordered the motors stopped to insure complete silence. After a short time the sound in his phones stopped also. Then off to one side about a mile, a tiny glow showed for an instant and flickered out. An answering glow showed on There were the men who the farther shore. had defied him so long! His heart beat faster as he ordered full speed in the direction of the first light. Action was in sight at last! The slim patrol boat leaped ahead like a loosed whippet, the spray Hying in a cloud from her cleaving bow. In less than three minutes she covered the distance to the spot. VVhen she arrived, however, the other craft had disappeared. jim brought the two bril- liant searchlights into play and soon picked her out about a quarter of a mile nearer shore. Upon being discovered the pursued boat started for the twelve-mile limit as fast as it was possible to make her go, with .lim's com- pany in full pursuit. The former was fast but the patrol was even faster, and the distance slowly diminished until they were only a scant hundred feet apart. It was then that Jim unleashed the one- pounder on the forward deck and sent a shot whistling across her bows. Then snatching a megaphone, he shouted, I-Ieave to, or we'll sink you. VVas she going to obey? For some time she kept her pace, but, when another accurate shot brought down her one stubby mast, she slowed down and allowed the patrol boat to draw up alongside. Quickly Jim jumped aboard with a picked squad, pistols drawn, and found the crew of five in the wheelhouse. He hustled them onto his own craft and manned the rum-runner with a few of his own men. Then he started to whistle as they set out for the harbor. Why shouldn't he? A quick inspection had showed a cargo of liquor worth about S50,000, the big- gest haul in three years. The time had come when he could get a good night's sleep. The Commissioner wishes to see you. Cap- tain Doughty, very deferentially called the office boy next morning. Jim again entered the inner room to flnd his superior waiting for him with outstretched hand. Congratulations, Captain, greeted the po- lice head. Thanks, sir, modestly replied Jim. Captain, I think I must withdraw my state- ment of a month ago. I see now where I was wrong. I have decided, after hearing of your performance of last night, to make you perma- nently the Captain of the liquor squad. Oh, thank you again, sir, responded the pleased subordinate. VVell, just do your best, and you will suc- ceed. Good day. This was much more than Jim had expected, and he was highly elated. But haven't I for- gotten somethingf' thought he. Reaching for the telephone he asked for the City Hospital, and getting it, demanded Miss Newcombe. Hello, her sweet voice came to him. Hello, Miss Newcombe. Captain Doughty speaking. VVe pulled in a bunch of bootleggers last night, and I think I've got your man. You had better come down and see. 28 I'll be right there. Good-bye, hurriedly answered the nurse, as she hung up. Ten minutes later she entered the outer room where Jim awaited her. He led her directly to a cell in which was seated a good-looking young man. Bill ! she cried, the moment she saw him. jane! he ejaculated. VVill you leave this business now as I asked you to P she asked, pleadingly. Will I? I already have. was his response, as a new light illumined his eyes. As they em- braced, Jim felt in his heart that it was a pretty good world after all. D. W. L., '30. OUR SCHOOL Down by a winditi river That runs so quietly by, Stands a vine-covered red brick building Often called dear Westbrook High. As we enter her doors each morning, We often stop to say. This is our one great helper That is sending us on our way. Throughout the four years of learning, Our aims must be just as highg For an honor received in the future Is an honor for Westbrook High. J. E., '30, THE COLLEGIATE FORD . With a rattle and a clatter, While the engine heaves a sigh, With the tires growing flatter, The collegiate Ford rolls by. Each fender has a separate song, Each spring a different squeakg The top flip-flops as it rolls along, The gas tank has a leak. The cylinder walls are badly shot, The crankshaft's terribly bentg The rickety engine's always hot, The body-one big dent. But all in all, it's not so bad, Though not a pretty car 9 The driver's plight is not so bad, It's better than walking by farl B. Q., '31. The Blue Er White AND STILL THE WORLD ROLLS ON I sit alone day after dayg In the game of life I have no part to play, No one cares how lonesome I am, For still the world rolls on. It passes me by on the fleetest of wings, And leaves me behind to just dream of thingsg Oh, I'm tired of this humdrum existence of mine, Still the world rolls on, and the sun still shines. D. H., '30. HMONOPOLIZING MIRRORS The following letter is one which I received the other day from my friend, john VVelch. This letter is very instructive and worthy of monopolization. My dear Henry: -Monopolizing mirrors! Have you ever heard the expression? It has often seemed to me a useless 'expression without meaning. But lis- ten to this: I was walking through the corridor of a high school recently, when I noticed a group of tittering, giggling girls. Suddenly I espied their object of admiration, a mirror! At the time there was a petite blonde before the mir- ror. She gave one side of her head a pat. then the other a little touch, arranged her dress, and was then, only then, ready to go to her classroom. This was copied by a flock of other girls, some arranging their hair, others powder- ing their noses. It came to my mind then what a senseless waste of time and effort it was. I said to myself, It won't be long before they will need special police to hold the crowd in check, and barkers will be shouting through megaphones, 'Line forms to the right,' eh what? Am I not right? Think this over seri- ously, as it will be one of the big problems of the younger generation. Yours monopolizingly, John Vifelch. I. N., '31. VVestbrook High School 29 -J TTI!

G., 'sr Art Departm ent 19530 marks the fifth anniversary of an estab- lished Art course in VVestbrook High School. This elective course, which was organized in 19725 with an enrollment of live, now gives promise of requiring some method of student limitation. Due to this increased popularity, additional room and proper facilities are badly needed. Today every growing high school of rank has and provides for an optional course in art. No proper tribute can be paid to Mr. Ster- ling, the Art Director. It was only through his unflagging interest and persuasion that the present advanced course was made possible. llandicapped by lack of material and suthcient room, he has promoted and established a valu- able asset for the school. His method of teach- ing is instructive and progressive-develop- ing all hidden talent in the pupil and providing practicable knowledge of various crafts. A certain portion of each period is devoted to the study and analysis of famous pictures and an outline of the lives of their masters. This study is supplemented by a consideration of well-known, modern, commercial artists- their style, type, and held of work. Commer- cial Art is beginning to be recognized as one of the professions, and tremendous progress has been made in its development during recent years. 42 Every present-day business is making in- creasing demands on one's capability to select artistic and fitting standards. Thus, it is with this goal in mind, that the High School Art course has been evolved. The numerous proj- ects cover a large field, including: Design, I.et- tering, Poster Layouts, Crafts, Textile De- sign, VVood Blocking, and Silver Etching. Special stress has been placed upon the de- sign of an attractive and useful poster. The poster is the result of years of search made for something to Fill the needs of American ad- vertisers. An added impetus to this work is added by the annual contest. sponsored by the Com m ercial TYPI-:WRITING VVithout typewriting, the commercial course would be almost useless. The typewriter is almost indispensable in a business office. so a pupil expecting to go out into the business World must have at least some knowledge of typewriting. VVhen taking up typewriting. the student is lirst taught the position of the fingers on the keyboard. The greater part of the First year is then given over to the development of ac- curacy and the last to speed. The average speed acquired by the students at the end of the first year is forty-Eve words per minute. The second year is devoted to the development of speed. The average speed at the end of the second year is nfty words per minute, but many students reach a higher speed. VVeekly The Blue fu- VVhite Kiwanis Club, in which substantial prizes are offered for the most suitable and original posters. Cutter and Foster, winners of the 1929 prizes, presented admirable placards. The Kiwanis Club is. at the present time, pro- moting a contest for the design of a billboard, which is to be placed at the city entrances. . Those of us who graduate this year look for- ward with genuine regret to our last Art class. The years of association with Mr. Sterling have been most pleasant and gratifying, and we extend our best wishes for his success and the progress of his class. B. T., '30.

Many pupils think the commercial course is just a means to make up the 32 points required for graduation. Therefore, they divert just enough 'effort to pass their studies. I wonder if these same pupils pause to think that the work they give to studying now is the method by which they will earn their living in the future. If each and every student grasped the opportunities offered by the teachers, he would be fit to accept almost any position that might be offered him in the business world and would be able to fulhll it satisfactorily. The subjects offered the commercial student of VVestbrook High School are namely: Short- hand, Typewriting, Bookkeeping, and Office Practiceg two years being devoted to Short- hand, two years to Typewriting, three years to Bookkeeping. and one year to Office Practice. I. D. P., '30. SHORTHAND Shorthand is a method of shortening the ordi- nary long hand writing in order to save time for the stenographer. This requires at least some study from the student. Speed and accuracy can- not be acquired unless the student tries and tries hard. This year the Junior Class was supplied with the new Gregg Manuals. but the Senior Class did not change its books as the system has been changed in the new edition, and it would have re- quired too much work for them to take it up. Every day a different assignment is given outg these must be practiced over and over in order to be clearly impressed in the student's mind. Short- hand is wholly memory work, and all the char- acters and signs must be clearly learned and memorized in order to write fast and without hesitation. The first year is devoted to the study of the characters and the development of accu- racy. The second year is spent in the development of speed and increasing the vocabulary. A speed of 80 words per minute is required at the end of the second half-year, and a speed of 100 words a minute is necessary at the end of the two years' course. Speed tests are given out monthly and much interest is given to these tests. Those hav- ing passed the sixty words Gregg transcription tests are: Shirley Armstrong, Muriel Burgen, Elizabeth Burrows, Ella Christensen, Eugenia Coombs, Theresa Duclos, Violet Garland. Doris Hooper, Mildred Knight. Florence Knox, Rebecca Marcoux. Irene Pedneault, Marion Porello, Irma Post, .losephine Plummer, and Pearl Saindon. Those having passed the eighty words Gregg transcription test are: Theresa Duclos. Rebecca Marcoux, and Marion Porello. I. D. P., '30, OFFICE PRACTICE COURSE The Office Practice class is larger than that of last year. In September, 1929, there were regis- tered twenty-two in the class. but at the present time it is comprised of nineteen girls and two boys. i The Office Practice course was begun with a study of personality, and under this head the fol- lowing points were analyzed and discussed: 1. Have a definite aim in Life. 52. The Secret of Leadership. 3. Character Iluilding is a Problem of Self- Control. 4. Personality and How to Develop It. 5. Fear and the Antidote. 6. Qualities that will enable you to VVin. 7. Mental Analysis. The Study of Personality is the basis of the Office Practice course. VV ithout a well-developed personality, one is not qualified to step into the business world of today. A special study has been made of the best types of business letters, and satisfactory results have been obtained. All of the members are able to produce letters worthy to be silent representa- tives of the most exacting business organization. In addition to ments, the course of study contains a course in secretarial science, of which the following topics have been covered: Postal Information, Telegrams, Radiograms and Cablegrams, Technique of Telephoning, Bill- the afore-mentioned develop- Westbrook High School 45 IHI ID IW Ili IQ 9 S DIAMOND MERCI-IANTS AND SILVERSMITHS 482 CONGRESS S'TREET, PORTLAND, IVIAINE or G7'dflZllflfZ.07Z BLUE SUITS of QUALITY at Special Prices Haskell 8: Jones Co.

Special training has been given to the develop- ment of the use of various office appliances includ- ing the Dalton. Comptometer, Burroughs Listing. llurroughs Calculator and Monroe Calculator. The class has produced an excellent grade of work as required in the course and have also estab- lished a fine reputation for accomplishing quickly and creditably any outside work it has been called upon to do. As was planned last year, the members of the Office Practice class act as cashiers of the School flank. E. H., '31. THE BOOKKEEPING COURSE Bookkeeping is the art of making a systematic record of business transactions, so as to exhibit the resources and liabilities of the business. Industrial ' The Industrial Department of W. H. S. at pres- ent is larger than in any previous year. There are sixty-eight pupils enrolled. Owing to the large numbers. it has been hard to divide the classes, but so far everyone has received the required amount of instruction. The boys appreciate the splendid cooperation Mr. Alden, Mr. lloyce, and Mr. Given have shown us. The Industrial Department is for the purpose of fitting the student who has not the means nor ambition to further his course by going to an ad- vanced school to become a mechanic. On comple- tion of this course, the student is able to go into a machine shop and secure a good paying position. Of course he must enter as an apprentice, but he can work himself up because he has a knowledge of Mathematics, Carpentering, Drafting, and Pat- tern Making, which the average machinist does not have. The system in use in a business, the business itself, or more often the adoption of the 1nethod of accounting to the requirements of the business, determine the kind and number of books used. lfVestbrook High School within the last year has installed the 20th Century bookkeeping sys- tem, which is very new and a standard text used by surrounding schools. There are twenty-eight juniors, twelve Seniors, and fifty Sophomores that are taking this subject. The first year is devoted to single proprietor- ship, and three sets of books are completed involv- ing the voucher system. The second year continues with a more ad- vanced work and introduces a more complicated practice set containing a partnership. The third. which ends the commercial educa- tion. is corporation work. The aim in bookkeeping is to make the course practical by developing ability to record business transactions which will be met in everyday lifeg such as reports, giving and receiving of notes, drafts. trade acceptances, and the working sheet and statements, all of which comprise the funda- 1l1C11t3.lS of bookkeeping. E. H., '31. Department The studies taken by the student the first year are: English, Algebra, General Science, Mechan- ical Drawing, General Woodwork. Manual Train- ing, Sheet Metal and Forge Work. The Sophomore studies include: English, Geometry, Commer- cial Geography, Automobile Construction, Ma- chine Shop, and Mechanical Drawing. The third and hardest year's studies consist of: English, Physics, Advanced Algebra, Mechanical Drawing, Pattern Making. and Machine Shop. English, In- dustrial Science, Industrial Mathematics, Me- chanical Drawing, and Machine Shop complete the four years, studies. With the exception of English, the Senior year studies deal only with machines and their operation, while the other three years are devoted to subjects taken up in other courses, in addition to the regular shop work.

The juniors and Seniors are making 12 buzz planers, 12 Sanders, jig saws, hand saws. 36 x 12 speed lathes, machines which are used in pattern mak- ing, iron parts for mechanical drawing tables, and other small parts of machinery and tools for shop use. These machines will be sold to the pupils for the exact cost of making them, which is about U5 the retail price. The Sophomores, who are taught the fundamentals of all machine work, make simple things. such as screw blanks, knives, left and right hand threads, cones, etc. Westbrook High has one of the best fitted ma- chine shops in the state. VVe urge the citizens of XVestbrook to accept the cordial invitation of former editors to inspect the machine and pattern shops and see for them- selves the fine work the boys turn out. P. S., '31. PATTERN SHOP Very few men classed as carpenters are suc- cessful pattern makers. A pattern maker must be very accurate in his work. Nearly any kind of soft wood may be used in making patterns. but the best is white pine. As metal shrinks when it cools, the pattern must be made a little larger than the dimensions call for. A shrink rule is used for this purpose, which is larger than the standard rule. Due to the increase in the classes, the Sopho- mores are taking pattern making. which generally comes in the junior year. They make the simple patterns which the juniors regularly make. This year the juniors are making patterns for buzz planers, sanders, jig saws. band saws. and speed lathes. The preceding machines are also the ma- chines most commonly used by the pattern maker. The parts for these machines will be moulded and machined as has already been stated in the part en- titled lX'lachine Shop. One afternoon at thc beginning of the year was spent at the Jordan Foundry where the students watched the making of the molds and the pouring of the iron. This is very helpful, because the pupil sees how very accurate he must be in mak- ing the patterns. l'.

These words, spoken loudly by Charles Gerry, President of the Senior Class, quieted the whispering Seniors for a short time. This meeting has been called for us, the Sen- ior Class, to look over our four years spent at Westbrook High School. Therefore, I shall call upon different members of the class to tell some- thing about our history, explained Gerry as he turned to Dwight Leighton. Leighton, will you please tell us something about the size of our class. Leighton gave the following information: When we entered the High School in 1926, there were 104 pupils in our class. During the Sophomore year there were 84 students, and dur- ing the Junior year, only '72 pupils. At present, there are 64 enrolled in our class, 34 girls and 30 boys. Next, Beatrice King read the report of the class election and an account of the Freshman Re- ception, given at the American Legion Hall on October 11, 1929, by us. The following officers served during the Senior year: President-Charles W. Gerry. Vice-President-A. Arlene Skillins. Secretary--Beatrice C. King. Treasurer-Robert T. Corrie. Beatrice King also named the following girls as having taken part in basketball during our four years: Shirley Armstrong, Florence Douglass, Lorraine Drinkwater, Beatrice King, and Irene Pedneault. Charles Gerry then called upon Charles Sin- clair to give the list of boys who have participated in sports. Unk named the following group: Donald Allen, Raymond Roissonneau, Milton Collins, John Estes, Lewis Freiday, Wavland Hawkes, Clifford Jameson, Louis Jensen, Law- rence Knight, Charles Sinclair, and Elliot Smith. lllake Tewksbury told the class that tive pupils: Harriet Small, Arlene Skillins, Charles Gerry, Robert Corrie, and Blake Tewksbury, were tak- ing part in the assembly play this year. Our president then read the names of those who have obtained an average of 85? or over for the four years. These names were included on the list: Virginia Bachelder, Muriel Burgen, Ella Christensen, Lorraine Drinkwater, Theresa Duclos, Fred Fitzgerald. Violet Garland, Doris Hooper, Maxine Hopkinson, Louis Jensen, Dwight Leighton, Ruth Lowell, Rebecca Marcoux, Claire Quimby, Marion Porello, Arlene Skillins, Harriet Small, Andrew Staby, and Tllake Tewks- bury. Harriet Small gave an interesting account of the Washington Trip, which is to be taken in April with the Deering High School group. At the present time those planning to go are: Vir- ginia Bachelder, Charles Gerry, Philip Grant, Doris Hooper, Maxine Hopkinson. Dwight Leighton, Marion Porello, Charles Sinclair, Har- riet Small, and Elliot Smith. Our activities seem to jump from one re- ception to another, said Charles Gerry. During our first year, the outstanding feature was the Freshman Receptionl given by the Seniors for us. Our Sophomore year was quite dead, but during our Junior year we gave the Senior Re- ception and received our rings. This year we have given the Freshman Reception and are plan- ning for our Washington Trip. All through the four years we have been represented in sports and the assembly plays. VVe will soon graduate, but from this class meeting I hope that you mem- bers have learned something about our years spent at Westbrook High School. M. H., '30.

Our Sophomore year we still retained one hun- dred six members of the class. Of course we felt that we weren't noticed quite enough, and each and every one of us hoped that some day we would become Juniors. Now we are Juniors, and we are proud to pro- fess ourselves as upperclassmen. At out first class meeting the following ofhcers were elected: President-Earle K. Gorrie. Vice-President-Richard D. Lopez. Secretary-Dorothy E. Washburn. Treasurer-Ellstad H. Smith. A Ring Committee was later elected, and on November 27, 1929, we received our class rings. We were represented in sports by Harold Lord, Philip Laffm, Frank Collins, Merrill Tracey, Francis Brann, Cornelius Doucette, and Leo Feeny. We were also honored by Ellstad Smith, Abigail Bunnell, Arline Pratt, Ethel Hebert, Alan Titcomb, Richard Lopez and Owen Pride, the members of our class who took part in the play.

FRESHMAN C School began Septem LASS HISTORY ber 9, 1929, for as green a class of Freshmen as ever entered VVestbrook High School. Few indeed. of the one hundred nineteen who entered, will ever forget that day. Following a long wait, we came in and were as- signed our seats and given our schedule cards. At our first assembly, we stood to hear our upper- classmen sing that time-honored song, Wakel Freshmen! VVakel After a few days of confu- sion, we settled down to the humble and humorous lives of Freshmen. At our second assembly, we elected the following officers who, under For- rest NV.

We met at the Legion Hall for a night of very hearty entertainment, We boys had our hair greased, our faces painted, and our clothes rearranged until we hardly knew each other. Judging from the results, the girls re- ceived much the same treatment. We were paired off and made to dance. Afterward, those who had made themselves especially conspicuous during the first few weeks furnished us with individual amusement, such as making speeches, tight rope walking, inventing new steps for the Charles- ton, bottle-sucking contests, and the like. VVhen these were over, we shook hands with the faculty and for the remainder of the evening enjoyed a real dance. Meanwhile, some of the boys were taken for rides to dark, distant, and unfrequented places and left to get home as best they could. Others were taken to Portland where, in deep humiliation and strange garments, they gave much amusement to the Portlanders and furnished ma- terial for a ludicrous article in a local newspaper. We were well represented in the high school sports. The outstanding representatives are For- rest King and Beverly Browne. Forrest King starred in football and basketball, and Miss Browne gained a high reputation in girls' basket- ball. VVhile greatly interested in these gay tales of sport. most of us are more interested in those grim realities of studies and rank cards. M. P., '34.

On September 26, 1929, Paul t'Ginger Fraser was announced as VVestbrook lligh School's new athletic coach. Mr. Fraser favored us with a short talk, telling of his plans for building up winning teams in all sports. Charles Unk Sinclair, who has participated in athletics throughout his brilliant high school career, gave a short speech as a warrior retiring from his post as leader of the 1929 football team. The newly elected captain is Frank l7eet' Col- lins, who has shown much prowess in his past season at football. On February 21, Lawrence Knight resigned his position as baseball captain for the 1930 sea- son because of his reaching the age limit. How- ever, he was immediately elected by the assembly to the management of the team. During the year the different coaches awarded letters and sweaters to the participants in ath- letics. On April 18, Coach Newman Young awarded basketball letters to the following: Llew- ellyn Carver, Donald Brawn, Collin Roma, Law- rence Knight, Richard Billings. Clayton Verrill, and Manager Cecil Hawkes. Those 'receiving sweaters were Clayton Verrill and Manager Cecil Hawkes. At the same assembly, Miss Shorey awarded letters to the following girls who played on the basketball team: Wilina McBride. Carolyn Emery, Dorothy Esty, Eva Johnson, Shirley Arm- strong, Hazel Hanna, Dorothea Atkins, Mildred Ilell, Edith Crawford, and Mildred Doucette. Those receiving sweaters were Dorothy Esty, Eva Johnson, Shirley Armstrong, Edith Crawford, Dorothy Atkins, Mildred Doucettc. Mildred Bell, and Hazel Hanna. Interesting athletic rallies were held frequently throughout the year, and some were favored with short speeches from members of the teams. Mr. Fraser furnished us with some information about the teams' improvements seasoned by some fan- tastical poetry. Mr. jordan and Mr. Philbrook favored us with a wee bit of humor by calling each other names when Mr. Jordan talked about his hunger at about two minutes to one. SPEAKERS Speakers of prominence were obtained at vari- ous times by Mr. Philbrook for the purpose of giving educational talks to the students. On May 20, 1929, Mr. Robinson of the National Council of the Y. M. C. A. gave an interesting talk on Choosing a Vocation. He gave examples of how best to approach and decide this vital ques- tion which comes up at some time in the life of every young man and woman. Another speaker of great ability was Professor Arthur Rudman of Baypath Business College of Springfield, Mass. The subject which he discussed was VVork. Two other speakers, whom we enjoyed very much, were Captain James F. Laughton of the Maine Council of Religious Education and Mr. Dodge of the Y. M. C. A. who were both intro- duced by Mr. Chester Hall, County Secretary of the Y. Professor Laughton gave A Message of World Friendshipf' and Mr. Dodge chose as his subject One Cannot Win Success Withotlt Paying the Price.

The number in each class receiving certificates were as follows: Sen- iors, 15-13 girls, 2 boys: Juniors, 9-6 girls, 3 boys: Sophomores, 12-9 girls, 3 boys: Freshmen -21, 10 girls, 11 boys. November 15th marked the end of the first quarter for the year 1929-30. The Honor Roll list was as follows: Seniors-13, 9 girls, 4 boys: Juniors-13, 9 girls, 4 boys: Sophomores-12, 9 girls, 3 boys: Freshmen-15, 9 girls, 6 boys. The total of those receiving certificates was fifty-three, approximately one-eighth percent of the enroll- ment. The second quarter ended on February -lth and the Honor Roll consisted of the following: Sen- iors-15, 9 girls, 6 boys: Juniors-17, 13 girls, 4 boys, Sophomores-18, 11 girls, 7 boys: Fresh- men-13, 11 girls, 2 boys. This time the total cer- tificates handed out was sixty-three, about fifteen percent of the enrollment. GENERAL On April 5, 1929, Mrs. Tilton of the Ammon- congin Club awarded prizes for the best essay on Why I Should Vote. Roderick Macdonald took the highest honors, the second prize went to Mary Peabody, the third prize to Edwin Richardson, and an Honorable Mention was given to Dwight Leighton. Directly after this, two scenes of the annual high school play, Laff That Off, were enacted for the purpose of advertisement. On June 15, 1929, the final assembly of that year was held. A short sketch was put on by the vocal culture class coached by Muriel Burgen and Edith Folsom. Mr. Cotton gave a prize to Gabriel Bernier for the girl having made the best dress in the Domestic Science Department. A few re- marks were made by members of the Alumni. Robert Bancroft called down the assembly for the poor spirit shown at games and made an appeal for better support in the coming years. A great ovation was given retiring Coach Newman Young when Pat Sullivan presented him with a fish- ing outfit from the Alumni. Reports were given by baseball manager Philip Kelley and by the as- sembly treasurer. Assembly officers for the com- ing year were elected as follows: President, Charles Unk Sinclair: vice-president, John Estes: secretary, Beatrice King: and treasurer, Roderick A. Macdonald. At the first assembly of the year 1929-30, the Freshmen were welcomed into VVestbrook High by loud cheering and also were greeted by that stirring song, Wake! 'Wakel Freshmen, Wake! This song, I believe, sends an icy chill down the back of every Green Frosh that enters Westlmrcpok lligh. The Frosh were frightened still more by the announcement of their reception to be held at the American Legion Hall on October 11, 1929. On February '21, readings were given by Miss Joyce Newcomb and Miss Irene Lagerson. Di- rectly after this the Senior Class honors were an- nounced, Miss Arline Skillins and Miss Maxine Hopkinson won the honors of valedictory and salutatory respectively. Last fall we were presented with a one-act play by members of the public speaking class who showed much talent. Mrs. Nan Hatch who has successfully coached Vllestbrook High School's plays for the past two years is coaching this year's play also. This year's presentation is The Gossipy Sex, and it is scheduled for May 16, 1929. The cast is as fol- lows: John Bowen ........ Blake Tewksbury Alice Bowen ....... ......

The speaker was a girl whom we all remember. I-Ier name is VVilma McBride, and across the soft- ly lighted table sat another well-known West- brook High School gradnate, Muriel Crowell. The orchestra, hidden behind a leafy screen, was playing soft, sweet music, which brought back to the girls memories of Westbrook and their many friends. You know, Muriel, I'cl like to know what everyone in the class of '29 is doing now, said Wilma. So would I, replied Muriel.

He had dismissed his secretary with a severe headache caused by the incessant heat, but he had not occupied himself with the work piled before him on his mahogany desk. Work was out of the question. As he sat idle before the open window in a vain attempt to get the benefit of any stray breeze, he fell to musing on his happy high school days. and he remembered his first desire to make something of himself in the literary world, when he had been appointed exchange editor of his high school mag- azine back in 1930. He remembered how inter- ested he had been in the characteristics, arrange- ment. and composition of the magazines which had been sent to him. A minute later found him delving in a box con- taining some of the school-day mementos. At last he found it-a copy of his school magazine- and turned to his exchange column. If his ac- quaintances and friends had seen him then-an important, self-possessed, and sometimes sarcastic and hard-boiled critic-kneeling in his tailor-made suit over a musty box of souvenirs, they would have had definite .reason to wonder if it were the same man who so scornfully ridiculed sentiment and anything pertaining to it. As he scanned the column, he paused over the names of the different exchanges and the criti- cisms he had written: Hm-in-m. The Bowdoin Orient. George! How that paper with its vivid description of col- lege activities did make me want to go to flow- doinl I never dreamed then that one day I would be its editor. The Red and lVhitc of Sanford is a good pa- per, especially in its literary and poetry depart- ments. Aha! The Boston U1ziw'1'.ritvNews.' That certainly was full of real news, interesting and vivid even to an outsider, and clearly gave one an idea of the life and the size of the university. I remember the Stcfvl1f'1'z.'.r Broadcast of Rum- ford as being very good for a small high school, and because of its fine cuts and drawings the paper was unusually attractive. The Maine Camfriis was surely a newspaper in the full sense of the word, but its joke column was the cleverest I had ever read at that time. Hal Here is one I had selected : Girl: 'Can you drive with one hand ?' Boy: 'You bet I can.' Girl: 'Then have an apple' And still another one: She: 'Only fools are positive' He: 'Are you sure ?' She: Tm positivel' It certainly is queer that it is so easy to recall such comparatively trivial things as the charac- teristics and quality of college and high school pa- pers read so long ago, but when one is especially interested and even fascinated by the mechanics and technicalities of newspaper, magazine, and literary work in general, things like that remain in one's memory for a surprisingly long time. - I-Im-m-ml I wrote that The H ebronian was a good paper, but that its weak point was its lack of pictures and illustrations. I still believe that an attractive and interesting newspaper of any kind must have pictures of some sort.

The last on my list was The Tattlcr of Range- ley which, while it had no outstanding feature, was an attractive magazine and unusually inter- esting for a small high school publication.

As he crossed the room to reach the instrument, he was surprised to feel a cool breeze coming through the open window, and he glimpsed a thun- der cloud beyond the roof of the adjacent building. Upon his answering the telephone, the possessor of a sweet feminine voice inquired if he, Mr. Cranston, would care to call at her apartment to tell her whether the results of her latest literary effort were worth publishing. The thoughts, brought by this call, of a certain pair of blue eyes, coupled with the reading of his high school liter- ary effort made him feel more like a happy school- boy again than a seasoned critic of thirty.

FOOTBALL brook was the first team to ever seriously threaten When the 1929 football season started, Coach Ginger Fraser had a nucleus of seven veterans, but, due to ineligibility and others failing to re- port, the number of veterans diminished to tive. Pre-season dope thought that Westbrook was going to have a light, fast team that should be feared by all schools, but this early season forecast was in great contrast with the record that the team made. The first great setback that the team encountered was the injury of Milt Collins, veteran and star center. But with spirit undaunted the team journeyed to Bangor. Playing under Flood lights and with a ghost ball Westbrook battled to a 0-0 tie. Although the score shows a tie, VVestbrook continually outplayed Bangor and continually threatened to score. In the following week VVestbrook journeyed to Bath to encounter Morse. This game was all in favor of Westbrook, and due to the condition of the Morse team the game was very slow. The final result was Morse, 0g Vlfestbrook, 7. In the following week VVestbrook traveled to Biddeford to battle a team much heavier than its own. Although Vtfestbrook was greatly out- weighed, they always continued to fight. In this game the great defensive playing of Captain Sin- clair was the outstanding feature. The final result was VVestbrook, 0, Biddeford, 12. On October 19, Westbrook played Portland at Bayside Park. Although beaten, 12-0, West- Portland's goal line for that season. In the following week Westbrook was severely defeated by South Portland. During the first half Wfestbrook held South Portland to a lone touch- down: this being made by a bad break. The second half Westbrook failed to function, which resulted in the score, South Portland, 323 West- brook, 0. On November 2, IVestbrook played Thornton at the XVarren Park. Due to rain the night before the held was very slippery. This game was a hard- fought battle, but as usual Westbrook was out- weighed by many precious pounds. In the third quarter, Thornton scored seven points, but in the last quarter VVestbrook retaliated with a touch- down but failed to gain the extra point with the result, XVestbrook, 6: Thornton, 7. VVestbrook's touchdown was due largely to the efforts of johnny Estes. The greatest game of VVestbrook,s season was on Armistice Day: Deering at Deering. In the first half, W esthrook missed two chances to score. In the third quarter, from a march of sixty yards with Captain Sinclair doing nearly all the rushing, Vlfestbrook scored a touchdown. In the final pe- riod Deering seriously threatened but failed to score. The final score was Deering. 03 Vllestbrook, 6.

Charles Sinclair, Manager. BASKETBALL The 1930 boys' basketball team was not as suc- cessful as many of the previous seasons, but con- sidering the material and comparing it with other teams of the same situation the results could be worse. VV hen the season opened, an exceptionally large number of candidates reported, but as the season progressed this number diminished. lllith a team minus the one veteran, who was for half the season ineligible, Coach Fraser with hard work molded together a formidable combina- tion with Doucette and Jameson, forwards: Chap- lin. center: Jensen and Lord at guards. lVith Cap- tain llillings ineligible, Doucette acted as floor captain. The team played good basketball in some games while in other games the team failed to function. During the latter part of the season the team seemed to go into a slump, from which they failed to wholly retaliate. Although the '30 season was not entirely suc- cessful, Coach Fraser has a brighter outlook for next season. There are only three veterans lost by graduation: Jameson, Dlensen, and llawkesl and with Captain Billings, Doucette, Chaplinf Lord, King, and much more eligible material from the second team, W'estbrook has bright prospects of having a rangy and fast moving quintet that will surely be hard to stop. The strong Alumni team, 726 to 725, and also winning team began the season by defeating a games from Thornton, Gorham and lliddeford. VVestbrook lost their first game to Deering, 729 to 15. The team played Deering on even terms for the first half. but the last half they failed to get VVestbrook High School 77 COMPLIMENTS OF BARROWS' GREENHOUSES, Gorham, Maine I?

GIRLS' BASKETBALL liasketball started the hrst ol November with the new coach, Cliltord Jordon, putting the girls through an outdoor practice. The girls who have practiced almost daily are: Dorothy Esty, Beverly Browne, Mary Randall, lieatrice King, Marguerite James, Irene Ped- nault, Dorothea Atkins, Mildred Doucette, Mil- dred Bell, Shirley Armstrong, Lorraine Drink- water, Virginia Greene, Jennie Roma. Dorothy U Pride, Margaret Crawford, Flora llc-rry, and Margaret Knight. ln the nine games played so lar, lour games have been won: live lost. Three games are yet to be played, these are: lhlnnswiclc, Maine School ol Commerce. and Gorham. These three games to be played we look forward to as promising vic- tories. The first game won by the NVestbroolc girls was with Maine School of Commerce, after we had Q - w-wma ..,.v- -- -- -qw-iywxqv,-mn-..twnvv' - Y -'- -'f- -' - v ------Y Westbrook High School 79 lost three games. The girls started in the first quar- ter by running up a large score, throughout the entire game keeping in the lead by a wide margin. Every girl on the squad played, which brought out new material to be used in other games. Another exciting game was the win over Free- port at Freeport. The score was a tie, but by a foul basket shot by Capt. Esty, Westbrook was allowed another victory. A record up to the present time of the individ- ual points attained by the forwards of the squad is as follows: Beverly Browne, 673 Dorothy Esty, 653 Shirley Armstrong, 18, Mildred Dou- cette, 113 Jennie Roma, 1. Beverly Browne succeeded in getting a for- ward herth on this year's team, which goes to show what she will be able to do for the VVest- brook team in her three remaining years of bas- ketball. Graduation will cause the loss of five players, namely: Beatrice King, Irene Pednault, Shirley Armstrong, Lorraine Drinkwater, and Virginia Greene. According to this list there will be D. Esty, captain of this year's team, B. Brown, M. james, M. Doucette, M. Bell, Roma, M. Craw- O Q ford, M. Knight, M. Randall, F. Berry, D. Pride, and D. Atkins, for another year.
