The 1931 Editorial Board has completed its first venture in the field of journalism, their toil will be fully rewarded if you, the readers, obtain enjoyment from between its covers. We of the editorial staff have endeavored to record in the pages of this volume the scholastic activities and achievements of the last twelve months. We hope that, in view of our honest effort to make the volume a success, you will not criticize too se- verely. ' CARE OF SEATS Why is it that high school students take so much pleasure in,tabulating each desk they occupy as their own especial property? It is hard to find in the building one seat which does not bear some evidence of misdirected artistry. You go into a room and by looking over vari- ous desk tops it is fairly easy to ascertain the person who sat there at some time, in fact, it seems to be a sort of sport-vying with one an- other to see in how many different places we can place our names or initials for future reference. But how many of us would think of marking up the tables and chairs in our own homes? When we sit down to read, most certainly we do not idly draw figures or trace our initials on the furniture. VV hy not take a little pride in our school, too? Perhaps we cannot have a new high school, but at least we can do our part in keeping up 'the ap- pearance of the one we have. To anyone seeing the school for the lirst time, scarred and mutilated desks do not convey a good impression. Surely we can prevent this to a great extent. Let's think it over, then, and decide to try in the future to im- prove rather than disligure our desks. D. E. W., '31. W limi THE WORK OF OUR JANITOR Passing from class to class through the corri- dors, every student sees small pieces of paper somewhere in the course of changing classes, but how many of these students bother to stop and pick up a single bit of this waste? Does it ever occur to anyone that all this work must be done by the janitor? V VVhen a student, wabbling his gum about from one side of his mouth to the other, is spied by the teacher, isn't it usually the quickest and easiest thing to plant the offending Wrigley product on the nearby window sill or lightly toss it into the corner? Does he ever think how much extra and unnecessary labor this makes for the janitor? The rooms of our school are kept neatly swept and cleaned. Our blackboards are washed each week in order that clear and easily seen outlines may be written there. Our school is usually well heated. Many times the rooms aren't warm, but this is not the fault of the janitor. These rooms would be much warmer if the windows were kept closed. I Curtains are sometimes broken as the result of an act of some careless boy or girl. Seats are often wrecked. Whois it that does all of this re- pairing? No one but our janitor, all of these things constitute his duties. After carefully considering the matter, would it not be easier and better to stop, pick up a scrap of paper, and put your gum in the waste basket when you know you have been seen by the teacher? D. E., '31, , TAKING CARE OF SCHOOL BOOKS One of the greatest needs of Westbrook High School today is the addition of new reference books to the library. But what is the good of the VVestbrook High School 1-Mft f . 7 city to spend money on books when we do not take care of them? Not only do we destroy the library books, but also thetextbooks which are used daily. Any book that one picks up has all sorts of defacements on it. T As for the library books-they are either lying around on the desks in the main room or being kicked about on the floor. This causes the de- struction of many of the best books. Why don't we try to be more careful and put the books back on the shelves when we get through using them? Many of the books are found in the pupils' desks and in many cases are ripped from their bindings. There are three reasons why we should strive to keep the books in their places on the shelves: first, it makes the main room neat, second, it saves the books g and third, it gives the pupils who do want to obtain references a chance to do so and not have to hunt all over the building for a book. From now on let us be a bit more careful by using our books cautiously. M, R., '31. THIS STUDYING BUSINESS The following is an example of the way a high school girl does her studying. - Mim', arrives home from school at one fifteen o'cl-ock. Dinner is eaten while reading a letter from the college boy friend who has made a good showing in a big way by writing on green paper with a big gold fraternity shield at the top. VVhen the last prune is grudgingly swallowed and the letter clear on Mim's mind, the next move is to find the best perch in the big rocking chair near the radiator and just one short story in the new Delineator before tackling Ovid. But the good intentions are forgotten and three short stories and one serial are read before Mini decides that she had better start on Ovid and Andy jackson's administration if she wants to go to sorority that night. After about an hour's search, from the top to the bottom of the house for a pencil, a stub is found and Ovid gets a break at last. Credit must be given Mim, however, for the sweat-ran off her forehead for an h-our and a half before she finally stopped to read the evening paper which just came. By the time she had read the West- brook news, the school boy chips, the comic sec- tion, and the new scandal about Clara Bow, it was time for supper, which Mim enjoyed very much as stewed prunes were omitted and ice cream was served instead. After supper there were the in- evitable dishes to wash and an hourls practice to be spent at tickling the ivories. That left just time enough to walk two miles up in the country for the sorority meeting, and it meant leaving Andy jackson to study after all the gossip in town had been reviewed. Two hours and a half elapse and Mina is now comfortably settled in bed with pillows all around, a light overhead and jackson still waiting to be read about. Mim really meant well, but somehow sleep overcame her and the next morning found her sleeping with the light on and Muzzey's history book under her nose. ' M. B., '31, PLEASURES OF HIGH SCHOOL I wish I were back in high school. It was the best part of my life. I had more good times in those four years than .I ever had before or since, is what we often hear our older brothers and sis- ters or friends say. Yet we who are in high school at the present time wonder how this can be true. VVe think of it only as a grind from day to day, a necessary evil in our lives. But if we were to stop to consider the matter seriously, wouldn't we find a lot more to school life than ust studying? Nearly every day of the school year there are pleasant moments. Something comes up in one of our classes or we have an assembly with a speaker, an entertainment or at least fi change from the routine of classes. Then there are always the social activities in which nearly all of us participate in some way. The class receptions, assembly plays, prize, speak- ing contests, dances and other social functions. Sports are also one of the outstanding pleasures for all students. How many students go through the four years of high school without attending at least one or two games of some kind? 8 f ' The Blue 6- White Think, too, of all the friends one makes during these four years. And oftentimes those friends made during one's school days are dearest through- out the rest of one's life. Perhaps some of us have to work afternoons or evenings, but as a whole we are care-free and happy. Our parents assume all our responsibili- ties. They decide all our problems. After high school, however, except for the few who are fortunate enough to continue their education in college, and sometimes for these, how different everything becomes. We have to assume our own responsibilities, solve our own problems and make our own way in the world. Then shouldn't we look on our school days with a different light? Let's make the most of our op- portunities and try to realize that school isnlt all study and grind. g E. C., ,31. ...-l FRESHMAN RECEPTION The Freshman Reception of late years has im- proved considerably, but there are still grounds for improvement. In the years back, the poor Freshmen have suffered altogether too much. Their clothes have been wrecked and in some cases the students have been injured. Also when the Seniors have finished with the Freshman the Frosh does not like to appear before the public or dance with any girl. Some of the Fresh- men wear good clothes to the reception and when the Seniors get through with them the creases are all gone and the suit is a mass of wrinkles. Al- though the girls are painted up, they get away with a lot more than the boys do. I think that if an initiation was held separate from the reception, the people concerned would feel better. If this was started, the Freshmen would come prepared for the worst in old clothes, and when the reception came they could dress up and know that their clothes were not going to be ruined. i W. H., '31. LETTERS FOR THE PLAY CAST Those of Westbrook have not yet realized that the members of the play cast deserve letters. The boy who has taken part in the athletics and has gained his letter has something to show, in later years, for his work and success. But the boy who has succeeded in dramatic work, during his high school days, has nothing to show for his achievements. Some of the students will remem- ber of his success, but the majority will forget his work for the school. . When rehearsing for the play there are at least six weeks of steady practicing. It isn't all fun to go back to school every afternoon. When it is necessary to take time out of the school session for rehearsing, the time lost must be made up, which is no pleasure for anyone. A person participating in the annual high school play puts as much time and energy into his work as the athlete does in his. I truly believe the mem- bers of the cast deserve letters. D. L. P., '32.

When I first read The Pit and the Pendulum. I was filled with a horror which in my mind equaled that of the writer. His pictures of the unbelievable terrors of the Spanish Inquisi- tion are truly horrible and fear-inspiring, and be- cause of that they are works of art. No other author has yet succeeded in depicting those scenes with such a startling and vivid effect. Having read one of his stories, I was eager to read more of them, and I followed the first with The Black Cat, The Fall of the House of Usherf, and various others, each of which deep- ened on my mind the impression left by its pred- ecessor. To anyone who particularly enjoys the calm and serene poetry of Longfellow, Poe's stories are apt to seem gloomy and melancholy by comparison. By that I do not mean that I dislike Longfellow 3 in fact, he is one of my favorite poets, but Poe is so entirely different-so subtlely sug- gestive of terror in his tales-so expressive of rhythm and beauty in his poems that he appeals to one's mind by contrast. Poe arouses y-our imagination and stimulates your interest at the very outset of his stories. To read him appreciatively, it is necessary to be in the riglyt mood. You cannot feel drowsy or tired, and desirous of something which can be skimmed over lightly, leaving a pleasant impressi-on on your mind. Rather, you must be wide awake, ready to give your attention to what you are reading Q for it is only by this attitude that you can get the, most value from his works. There is a great deal of similarity between Poeis life and his writings. He was erratic, tempera- mental, and moody 3 above all, he was spoiled. Un- doubtedly Poe was a victim of drink and drugs, yet without them the world might have lost much of its admired literature. It is said that it was due to the influence of drugs that Poe wrote some of his most fantastic stories. He lived and wrote in an unreal world. Many of his poems are intangible and remote, for ex- ample, Ulalume of The Raven. What could be more indefinite than these weird tales? Never- theless, their rhythm is perfect and the words are beautiful as well as expressive. In American literature there is only one man who can be compared to Poe-Hawthorne. His stories, too, are. dark and somber, nearly always containing a suggestion of the unreal. Hawthorne, however, was not such a master in that particular line. Poe's tales of terror are unequaled. He is a supreme artist. It is said of him that no one wrote so little, ever rewrote that little so often and so successfully. He was conscious of his limitations and as he at- tempted only what he knew he could accomplish he excelled in what he did. 3 Poe's theory was one of beauty and you can- not read one of his poems without realizing this. It was not beauty of thought necessarily, but beauty of rhythm-beauty of expression which he practised. He often subordinates the thought of his words to their beauty and consequently sev- eral of his poems are nearly meaningless, yet per- fectly written. 12 fi l l The Raven is perhaps one of his best known poems and one which I particularly admire. It has a haunting melody which constantly recurrs to your mind and I have read it many times with- out tiring of it. As the father ofthe detective story, Poe was original, and he delighted in build- ing up mysteries only to destroy them again. In contrast to modern methods, he begins at the be- ginning and leads up to the climax, Hnally unravel- ing the story for the reader's entertainment. Poe presents his sinister tales with such startling reality that you are carried into the realm of his own vivid imagination, and feel that you, too, are experiencing the emotions of the unfortunate victim. No one who had not a flame of genius could effect his readers thus, and to Poe is universally accorded that distinction-that he was a great artist. D. E. W., '31. A DOG'S LIFE FOR A DAY Ho-Hum! Wlell, I guess it is time to get up, I hear my master coming downstairs to feed the hens and chickens. Yes, it is he. Guess Iill go along to see that nobody bothers him. Here we are in the henhouseeand will you just look at those crazy-looking creatures balancing on two legs and all covered with homely red feathers? I'm thirsty, guess I'1l take a drink of this water. Sol the old red rooster don't want me to. Well! I'll show him who I am around here. QW! what was that? Oh, I see my master don't want me to hurt that homely creature. VV ell, I got a few of his feathers. I had better get out of here be- fore I lose my temper and kill one of these hens. There goes my master back to eat his own breakfast. Here comes a car. There are not many cars lately so I'll try my best to stop this one. No matter how much I bark and bite, the man driv- ing wonit stop. I hear someone whistling g maybe it's my break- fast-maybe it's a licking for chasing cars. VVhat luck, it's a nice breakfast. It sure is good. The Blue Er while That sure was good, now for some excitement. First of all I have got to bury this big bone I got for breakfast. Let's see, I guess I'll bury it around the corner of the barn beside the one I hid ai few days ago. Hello! VVhat's this? An old brown and white spotted hound trying to dig up one of my bonesg well, seeing as how the master is gone and I feel like a hght, Iill show this hound a les- son. So-he is trying to run away from me? Wfell, I can run faster. Now that I've caught you, mister hound, I don't know what to do to you ex- cept shake and bite you. 'fWell, that excitement is over-now for some more. There goes master downtown in the wagon g I might as well go along. Here we are home again. Not much doing downtown. I saw a few of my friends, that's about all. It is pretty late in the afternoon. I thought they had forgotten my dinner, but they didn't. Suppose I take a little snooze.. I've been awake the biggest part of the night and had plenty of exercise this morning. VVhew! I must have slept all afternoon be- cause the sun has gone down behind the hill. I'm quite hungry so I'll have to gnaw at that nice bone I got this morning. I ate the biggest part of it, but I'll save the rest for a rainy day. Iill go sit beside the door and wait for someone to come in or go out and maybe I can get in, too. Here comes someone. Uh, it's johnny. I'm glad itis him, because he always lets me in. That heat from the stove sure feels good. Not much noise around here, everybody is look- ing at books and papers. People may think I'm lazy, but I feel just like sleeping again. I feel as though it is my duty to guard the house, there- fore I must stay half awake. I wish some burglar w-ould try to get in. I feel just like chewing off someone's pant leg. Wfhat was that? Gb, so it's a mouse. Well, it's up to that lazy cat to show me how to catch it, because I have a good place to sleep here. VVell, the cat got the mouse. She is playing with her now. I can't see how she eats those things, although sometimes I-feel-hungry -enough-to-do-so-mysel f . C.

I am dying from a bullet wound through the left lung inflicted by one Tony An- gello, also a common seaman on the East Wind, who came with me to this spot and tried to steal the treasure. We did fight on the lip of a cliff and I did kill him. His body lies close to mine and our bones will bleach in the summer's sun and beneath the winter's snow. This message I will place in a .bottle and try to reach the shores of the lake that I may cast it thereon in hopes that some day someone will find it and locate our bodies and the treasure which Tony and I did steal from the safe in the captain's room on the East Wind anchored in Portland Harbor. Tony and I stole the gold from the cabin at midnight after cutting the captain's throat from ear to ear. VVe dropped over the side of the ship and into one of the ship's boats and rowed away in the darkness of the night toward the Falmouth shores. We came to the mouth of a river that my maps show as being the Presumpscot. VVe rowed up this river by night and hid in the woods by day until' we came to a large lake that I believe to be Sebago. VVe rowed up this lake close to the shore until we came to a river which I believe to be named Panther Run. This river brought us to another large body of water which my maps show to be Panther Lake. We rowed up this lake a short distance and came to a river that is called, by my map, Tenney River. VVe proceeded up this but a short distance until we came to the first bend. We landed on the west shore near a clump of white birches, four in number. I jotted down the directions we took from this point on and these are the directions as near as I can give them. Five paces from the shore to a clump of four white birches. Thirty-one paces from the white birches in a westerly direction to a large white pine. Still following the path of the sun, we came to an old wood road and about fifty paces from the last pine we crossed the road. Still going toward the setting sun we proceeded about fourteen paces to a large rock. No place here to bury the treas- ure. Still going westerly we came upon a large irregularly-shaped rock left here by the glaciers. It was shaped like a huge whalebone standing up- right and its back was sharp as a knife blade. We searched here for a place to bury the treasure, but found none, so followed the path of the set- ting sun. Twenty-eight paces from this rock we came upon an old trail running S.VV. and NF. VV e followed the path sixty-six paces to the S.W. and came to a large clearing surrounded by dense woods. We went to the woods on the south and about sixty paces from where the path had en- tered the clearing. Following the woods, we came to a slight rocky rise. From the crest I saw a body of water which I believe to be Panther Lake. There was a high rock in the center and on climb- ing this we saw a mountain range with four peaks in the distance. Directly in line with these peaks was a dead white birch about fifteen paces from the rock. We went to the dead birch but in climb- ing down the rocky slope we slipped and fell. About eight paces from the old white birch, we observed an old hollow tree stump in which we thought we would hide the treasure, but were afraidithat forest fires would destroy it. So we went south and climbed another hill steeper than the first and covered with rocks. The reverse slope on the side towards the lake was exceedingly steep and it was with great difficulty that we made our way on our hands and knees to the base. But we could find no other place to hide the treasure so we started to circle the cliff, going in a north- erly direction. Wfe had gone but a few paces when I looked up and saw a fissure in the rocks and called Tony's attention to it. lfVe crawled up the steep slope on our hands and knees and just to the right of this fissure we found a small crev- ice, where we deposited the treasure. It was while climbing back that Tony shot me through the back and I turned quickly and ran him through with my sword. We plunged to the bottom, Tony dead and I dying.

L., '32, ,i DOORS A PRECIS Doors are always a mystery, as no one. no mat- ter how familiar with the other side of it, knows what may happen. Maybe the cook has left, or any incident might have occurred. There are many kinds of doors--glass doors, prison doors, wooden doors and revolving doors. The glass door is more like a window, one can see what is beyond. Even dogs understand the matter of closed doors as frequently they stand before one and bark. The opening of doors is a mystery g it brings a new happening into a new moment, that is, it changes everything, but a closing of doors is dreaded, as it brings something to an end. It may bring sadness or misfortune. The slamming of doors is a confession of temper. Opening of doors brings hope, while the closing of them brings despair. There is a door shutting which will come to all. It win betdom-1 quietly with 3 Click of the latch and bring sudden stillness. They will stop to think of the unfulfilled decency and of the good we have done, and then-they will be out and close the door. T. L., '32, A GOWN, MADAME?

BOOK ONE OF VIRGIUS AENEID The goddess juno's hatred of the Trojan race was so great that she would gladly have destroyed its last remnants to prevent the founding of Rome. VVhen Aeneas sailed from Sicily, going to Italy, Juno went to see Aeolus, god of the winds. She asked him for control of the winds and as she was greater than he, he promised her his aid. All the winds were freed and there was a terrible storm. Some of Aeneas's ships were wrecked and he be- lieved all the fates were against him. Meanwhile, Neptune perceived that something was wrong, and coming to the surface of the water, was very angry. He rebuked the winds and soon quieted them. Aeneas landed on the coast of Africa with seven of his ships. Wlhile, trying td find out where he was he saw many deer and killed seven of them for food for the crews of his seven ships. After eating the food, they mourned for their lost com- panions. Venus, Aeneas's mother, appealed to jupiter, asking him why her son should have such bad luck. jupiter reassured her and prophesied a bril- liant future for the Trojan race. U Vlfhen Aeneas went to explore the country where his ships had landed, he met his mother disguised as a Spartan maiden. At first he did not recognize her as his mother but suspected her of being a goddess. She told him about Queen Dido and the city of Carthage, then after telling him his comrades were safe, she revealed herself and disappeared. Aeneas entered Carthage wrapped in a cloud. He saw Queen Dido enter her temple and later was very much surprised to see some of his com- rades. Everybody, young and old, seemed very busy building this magnificent city. lloneus, a Trojan companion of Aeneas, pleaded with Dido for the Trojans. She dismissed his fears and said she would make no discrimination between her people and his. When she wished that the Trojan leader Aeneas were there, Aeneas revealed himself. Dido gave the Trojans a royal reception. Aeneas sent Achates back to the ship to bring his son, Ascanius, and gifts for Dido. '6 I Venus, fearing her enemy, Juno, plotted to have Cupid go with Achates in the place of As- canius and make Dido fall in love with Aeneas. During the grand banquet, Dido seemed bewitched by Cupid and could scarcely take her eyes from him. After a libation was poured, Iopas played on his harps and sang many songs. Then Dido, anxious to have Aeneas with her as long as possible, asked him to tell the story of the fall of Troy and his Wanderings. E B '31 . ., . FISHING I am always glad to see The overiiowing brooks in the spring, We then think of the joys Which summer will bring. I get out my rod, line, sinkers and hook, And then I decide which will be the best brook. During the day, when therels rain in the sky, n Is the best time to fish if you keep good and dry. I dig a few worms to put on the hook, And then start out on my way to the brook. Where the water flows swiftly in under the bank, This is where I wait for a nibble, there yank. Out comes a trout-a beauty red spot- And, believe me, he was not very short. I started back home excited as could be, During the next day, I went again and got three. To you who go fishing, please take my advice, Be sure to have your license or you'll pay a big price. The large trout which I have said that I caught, ls left to you to believe it or not. C. H. P., '3fz. MY FAN CIED OCCUPATIONS In the following paragraphs I shall endeavor to tell my fancied occupations. They are, I admit, quite different today from those which I thought they might be during my knee-pant years. As a child, I always told my dad I was going to be an engineer on a choo-choo train, but now, quite the contrary, I would not think of such a thing. Un a winter morning, when the mercury reads about twenty below zero, it is my delight to start The Blue E-r VVhite for the woods for a good day's work, made pleas- ant by the music of the chickadees. Une might say, that fellow must be cuckoo, to like to go into the woods when it is so cold. That doesn't worry me, because I can assure myself of this-if I keep the oldax swinging, there is no need of ,being cold. As spring comes, so does the joy of trout fish- ing. When I awake and hear the melodious notes of the birds calling, I cannot help but get up to smell a whiff of the fresh and fragrant spring air. After all of this, I feel as if a trout for breakfast would not be too tough, so I get my rod, hooks and plenty of bait and start for Cobb's Brooki' in VVindham, about a half mile from I-Iighland Lake, or, I might say, my home. After I have reached the brook, I bait my hook and drop it into the creek. First comes a nibble, and then a hard yank of the line g what a thrill when I give him an angle and he comes out of the babbling brook just below the foaming falls. After catch- ing six of these speckled beauties, I go home, and have a delicious breakfast of nice, fresh trout. Who wouldn't fancy an occupation or a pastime like the above mentioned? R. w. s., 232.

G., '31, Commercial Department ' TYPEWRITING Typewriting is one of the fundamentals of a business training. Without it, it is almost impos- sible to obtain a position as stenographer or secre- tary in a business firm. . Une of the first things to learn in typewriting is the position of the keys. lt is through memory of the keys and the kinaesthetic sensation that one may achieve speed and accuracy. p The first year is devoted more to accuracy than to speed. The touch system is used. A chart of the keyboard is hung at the front of the room and the ,pupil is instructed to watch the chart instead of the keyboard. In this way the pupil learns the position of the keys and can copy exercises from a book without watching the keys. In former years awards have been given on the typewriters to encourage speed and accuracy, but this year, all except the VVoodstock, awards have been abolished. The students who received awards last year are as follows: Remington Royal Smith Underwood Marier C Libby C Lebel P Mayberry C Hebert C Belyea C Esty C C C C indicates certificate. P indicates pin. Q , D. C. L., 32. COMMERCIAL COURSE A majority of people think that the commercial course is practical only to those who are planning to enter business or higher schools of business ad- ministration. That is not so. The commercial course is valuable to several classes of pupils, principally, of course, to those who do desire a start in the training that will fit them for employ- ment in the business world, but oftentimes college students nnd that shorthand is a very impor- tant factor in their lecture courses, and type- writing affords a ready means for making money 36 to pay expenses. In the home a knowledge of ac- counts and an acquaintance with raw material and manufactured products, such as food and 'cloth- ing, may often prove to be Very beneficial. In short, there is no one who could not, sooner or later, find a practical use for much that forms the curriculum of the commercial course. After completing the above-mentioned course in high school, pupils who have availed them- selves of the opportunities offered, fill many kinds of positions in business offices and have acquired habits which will be of value to them in any walk of life. . The following are some of the qualities of a good office employee which are in continual prac- tice by the commercial students of Westbrook High. At first glance one can see that these qual- ities would be valuable assets for anyone to pos- sess, but they are doubly so when practiced daily both in and out of school. 1. Punctuality in finishing work. , 2. Courtesy. 3. Swiftness in hearing, seeing and obeying. 4. Concentration. 5. Self-reliance. 6. Accuracy. 7. Dependability. 8. Initiative. From the very beginning of our high school career, we of the commercial class are taught to cultivate and practice these essential qualities so that they will have become fixed habits by the time we are ready to enter an office. A, G., '31. The work of the commercial student is divided into four main classes, namely: shorthand, type- writing, bookkeeping, and office practice. No stu- dent is properly trained for an office position un- less he has some knowledge, at least, of these four studies. SHORTHAND When taking up the study of shorthand, our ambition is to acquire speed and accuracy. The The Blue E-r VVhite study of this subject covers the last two years of high school. The junior year is devoted to the careful study ofthe fundamentals of the subject, while the last year consists mainly of speed de- velopment. As an incentive for developing speed, the Gregg Company awards certificates to those who pass the monthly Gregg transcription tests. The first certificate is for sixty words per minute, the sec- ond for eighty words, the third for one hundred, etc. The students having passed the sixty-word test are: Lillian Kinmond, Arline Pratt, Christine Pudvah and Clifford Libby. The following have passed the sixty- and eighty- word tests: Ruth Belyea, Abbie Bunnell, Mar- garet Champaine, Dorothy Esty, Eda Folsom, Kathryn Foster, Anna Graffam, Ethel Hebert, Evelyn Knight, Alexandra Lebel, Helen Lewis, George Marier and Edna Poole. Those having passed the one-hundredword test are: Dorothy Mayberry and Kathryn Foster. Dorothy Mayberry is the first pupil under the supervision of Miss I-Ielen J. Leeman to pass this test at the close of the half year term. This aver- age is not expected until the end of the second year of study. OFFICE PRACTICE COURSE Last yearis class in Office Practice numbered twenty-one. This year has an enrollment of twenty-eight students. In all high schools today the demand for a course of this kind is great, therefore, the aim is to train the students to meet the situations that are to be found in the business office. Preparation is given through the actual performance of office duties. , , This class is conducted not on a classroom idea but on the basis of a business office. A schedule is made out weeks in advance so that when the student enters the classroom he immediately goes about his own individual work. Our room is small and with a class of this size the office plan of con- ducting the class is practical.

The book, Secretarial Studies, is completed dur- ing the year along with the other work. The course contains the following topics which are very carefully studied: Ability to write all types of business letters, Postal Information, Telegrams, Radiograms and Cablegrams, Technique of Tele- phoning, Billing and Invoicing, Instruments of Exchange and Credit, Legal Papers, Statistical Material and work in the use of Time Tables and Business Directories. Four weeks is devoted to Filing, where the stu- dents take up Alphabetical and Numerical Filing. By the use of miniature sets, actual practice is ob- tained. A working knowledge of the following machines is also had: Dalton, Neostyle Duplicat- ing Machine, Burroughs Calculator, Monroe Cal- culator, Dictaphone, Comptometer and Burroughs Listing. Classroom demonstrations are given on machines other than those in our equipment in order that students may become familiar with all types of office machines. Much work is done for the other departments in the school by this class. It is done quickly and so far as is known in a very satisfactory manner. In addition to this the class has charge of the School Savings. A. M. G., '31.r BOOKKEEPING Some students take this subject because they consider it an easy way to make a point. But if they were to think of the future and of the way in which they were to earn their living, they would consider bookkeeping a necessary element in a business- training. The Blue 6- VVhite Bookkeeping is a method of recording mer- cantile transactions so that at any time a person may be able to ascertain the details of his busi- ness. It may be practiced in the single entry method-which is used very little, except in re- tail business of small extent-or double entry- that is, a debit and credit entry. Bookkeeping by the double entry, a system first adopted in the great trading cities of Italy, gives a more accurate record of the progress of a business and it is necessary in large concerns. ' In the Bookkeeping Course at VVestbrook High School, the double entry method is used in the new 20th Century bookkeeping system, and three years, Sophomore, junior and Senior, are devoted to studying the elements of this subject. The firstyear the pupil learns the difference be- tween debit and Hcreditl' entries in a journal. Exercises are provided for drilling on transactions and entries, and practice sets are furnished which give the pupil a businessi' to carry on. ' The second year new methods of recording and new entry books and business papers are intro- duced. A more difficult practice set is provided which contains 'la partnership companyf' ' S The last year a practice set of corporation work is used. This completes the Bookkeeping Course. A conscientious student has at graduation a valuable asset to offer an employer. Although in- dividual firms and corporations have a system pe- culiar to themselves, the underlying principles of bookkeeping are always used and the training in the high school allows the new bookkeeper to quickly adjust himself.

All of these different articles were made at cost and saved the city much money. A Each year the high school assemblypresents a play. Some boys from the Industrial Department are selected to act as stage managers and elec- tricians. They erect the stage setting, connect lights and other electrical appliances if they are needed. ' Many boys change from the Industrial Course to others because they find it difficult to keep up with the rest of the class. Boys going out for-athletics who are taking the Industrial Course have to work hard to keep on the team and to k-eep up with their shop work. The Industrial Course is quite diflicult, but the boys enjoy it very much. ' G. A. S., 'Z-31. MACHINE SHOP The machine shop has turned out more work this year than in any previous year. The juniors and Seniors are making 60 8 jacks, 12 36 x12 wood turning lathes with all accessories, 6 6 buzz planers, 2 10 circular saws with tables adjustable from OO to 450, 12 swivel vices with LLM jaws, and they have completed the metal bases on 48 mechanical drawing tables. The machines are sold to the 'pupils at the exact cost of the metal. The Sophomores are taught to run the machines and to make simple projects, such as left- and right-hand threads, knives and cones. Westbrook I-Iigh has one of the best equipped machine shops in the state. The machine and pattern shops are always open for inspection and everyone is cordially invited to visit the shops and see the work that the boys are turning out. ' L. B., '31. PATTERN SHOP Objects made of cast metal are shaped by the process of founding. Founding and foundry practice deal with the melting of metals and the pouring of these metals into moulds that are usually made of sand. In order to make the sand moulds into the re- quired size and shape, some sort of form is needed. Making these forms as patterns is done in the pattern shop. Patterns are made of many kinds of wood, but white pine is the best. As metal shrinks when it cools, all patterns are made larger than their actual measurements. For this purpose, the pattern maker uses a shrink-rule which is a little larger than the standard one. Pattern making is required in the junior year of the Industrial student. One afternoon each week spent at the pattern shop is the requirement of the junior 'Industrial student. This year the juniors are making patterns for bench saws, jig saws, wheel band saws, exhaust blowers and sur- face planers. After these patterns are completed, they will be sent tothe foundry, where they will be used to make the moulds. Une afternoon during the first term is spent at the jordan Foundry, where the boys watch the process of mould-making and the pouring of the iron. .The pupil derives much benefit from this, since he can understand the work better by seeing it done' than he can by having it explained at the shop. S. L. C., '32, Science Department What would this world be if it were not for ap- plied science? All our material necessities, com- forts and luxuries depend in greater or less degree on science. Science has an extremely wide scope. Its one extreme are the waves and particles of which electrons and protons are composed, the other extreme are the heavenly bodies about which astronomers study, and mathematicians evolve formulas and theories. Distributed at approxi- mately the central portion of this extreme range are many of the products and appliances used by man.

I Westbrook High School is fortunate in having a relatively large curriculum of sciences to offer to the student. The Freshman year the students of the Industrial and of the Commercial Courses take General Science, while those of the College Course take Physical Geography. Formerly the only Freshman science offered was General Sci- ence, but as this is not credited by certain colleges, Physical Geography was substituted for college students. In General Science the student studies the ele- mentary principles of Chemistry, Physics, Geol- ogy, Biology and its subdivision, Physiology. Usually the instructor has demonstrative labora- tory work once a week. In Physical Geography the basic principles of Physiography, Geology, and astronomy are studied. I Most unfortunately Westbrook High School offers no course in biology. Considering the size of the school, this is the only omission in an otherwise full curriculum, for .many high schools of much smaller size than Westbrook have a course in bi- ology. . , ' In either the junior or Senior year, the stu- dents of the college division study College Physics, which includes the practical and theoretical di- visions of' the subject. The student has in addi- tion to textbook work, two double periods of laboratory work a week. In the laboratory he learns to set up and manipulate apparatus, as well as to learn to be observing. The Industrial and Commercial students study General Physics, which does not stress the theoretical side so much as the College Physics Course. The laboratory pe- riod is also shortened to a single period. A most instructive part of our study of physics is the meteorological observations and 'predictions car- ried on by the students. ' - , In the year that the College Division student does not ,study College Physics, he studies College Chemistry. In this one studies both the practical and theoretical divisions, just as in Physics. Laboratory work consists of double periods twice a week. Commercial and Industrial students study General Chemistryyin which the greatest stress is laid on the practical application of the subject. The laboratory period in this is one single period twice a week. In the case of the Industrial student, the work is correlated as much as possible with the work the student is ,taking in his study of Indus- trial Vocation. , Still another course is offered the Senior Indus- trial students in the course consisting of applied physics the First half of .the year and automobile science the last half of the year. . 1 We are very fortunate at Westbrook in having excellent instructors in all these sciences, and much credit is due to them, both for the manner in which they arouse our interest in any particular branch of science and in the efficient method they use in teaching their respective science. , R. G., 'ar I Q Home Economics IT'S UP TO THE GIRLS , Anne, let's go to the Star this afternoon? No, jeane, I have to go back for cooking,', was the answer. Oh, bother, why don't you give it up? All you get out of it is a. half point and you don't need that. i I'm not taking it for the half point, I like it and I'm learning a lot, not only about cooking but all about economy and clothing, and how to feed growing children, invalids and hard working men and women so they may be strong and healthy. f'Anyone would think you were planning to de- vote 'your life to such drudgery. Oh, jeane, can't you see? It isn't drudgery. I love it, and I think every girl ought to be ambi- tious enough to see through it. I A Four years later both girls were married to hard working and ambitious young men. jeane's hus- band, Donald, was naturally a very jovial type, VVestbrook High School but lately he was worried and often spoke harshly to .Ieane and their only child, Dorothy. I A It was after one of these intervals that Anne came upon jeane, who was weeping frantically. Tell me, dear, can't I help you? What is it ? Oh, Anne, canit you see? 'Don' doesn't love meff I ' V Now, silly child, of course he does, but what makes him so cross ? I Oh, he says I am extravagant, and here I havenit had a new dress for months. I always get the best of food because he won't eat anything else. I You have explained it all, jeane, but perhaps I can help you. First we will plan a budget system. Itis a lot of funf, Anne, I didn't take Home Economics, you can't expect me to be the model housewife you are, but I would like to have your help. Such was the case: jeane was the one to find her present life drudgery. Anne found every day a real pleasure using all the knowledge she had obtained during her afternoons spent with an in- structor who had planned even her most difficult lessons so they might be a joy to the future house- wife, as well as a help to the girl and her family during her school days. Let me give you an idea of this Home Eco- nomics Course: We have an instructor keenly in- terested in the work, who has developed this de- partment, and yet her hopes for it are far from being fulfilled. She wants to teach her girls to be real Hhome makers, but the material she has to work with is inadequate. First and most im- portant-the department is cramped. There is but one room for the ,whole course, and both grade and high schoolclasses must use it. Next, it has been impossible to have the high school classes in the forenoon, and this subject is so im- portant it shouldfnot be an extra-curricula activity as at present. I Home Making should be a course required of every girl. It should be considered at least a two-point subject and should come every day for a double period, or at the least have two 'double and one single periods a week. . If another room, an assistant teacher and a very little more equipment were supplied, West- brook could be mighty proud of the department and would be many times repaid by the future housewives, citizens of this city. ' Now to goback to jeane. Anne gave her in- structions on a family budget and jeane took much pains to learn how to dress and feed her family at a cost reasonably within their income. A few years later jeane said to her daughter: '6Dorothy, among all your lessons, do not neg- lect Home Economics. It is a most important sub- ject, for it is a start toward worthwhile things, such as interior decorating, designing and con- structing clothes, planning and preparing well- balanced meals, wise spending and saving and the care of large and small, sick and well. My dear, your chance, now make the most of it. help you to decide what your vocations here is It may will be. Your life has only started, so take my advice and do not make your mother's mistake. For, my child, the lack of knowledge such as you will receive from that instruction was nearly the ruination of my life. There is a real future in it if only you will take it seriously. g I L. C.

Under the careful and industrious supervision of our director, Mr. Sterling, the class has con- tinued to grow and more and more interest is shown each year by the students. Mr. Sterling has devoted a good amount of time to the Art Class and seeks to make it interesting and use- ful to the pupils. His subjects are varied and his methods of teaching are very instructive and progressive. He seeks to develop the hidden talents of each individual pupil and to give them a better understanding of the various crafts to which they are adapted. Mr. Sterling has done a great deal for the public schools of Vifestbrook in the field of Art. The Art Class is divided into various periods for the study of the different subjects. The first period is devoted to the study of the text- book, VVorld Painters, by Hoyt, in which the pupils learn something of the lives and works of the old masters in the early periods of Art. This textbook also deals with Ancient Painting, The Italian Paintings of the Gothic Period, Early Renaissance, High Renaissance and Decadence Period. VV-e are also studying the early Egyptian paintings and architecture. Another portion of the period is devoted to the study of Modern Arts and crafts and the study of the works and lives of our modern il- lustrators. This year we are studying Wood- block Printing, in the form of textile decora- tion and surface design, which has given the student a wider view and understanding of rhythm and harmony in modern art. We are also studying Poster Layout and lettering of the same. Special stress has been placed upon the design of an attractive and useful poster. A great interest is shown in this line and many line posters have been executed. Our next sub- ject this year will be the preparation and de- signing of a bookplate, which I am sure will prove very interesting, and some attractive work will undoubtedly be turned out. The remainder of the period is spent in pose- drawing. This subject is a little difficult and new to many, but rapid progress is being made. Different members of the class pose while the remainder draw, and in that way we have a good number of models to work from. The lack of equipment and room is a great drawback to the Art Class. VVith the proper facilities and room, more work could be ac- complished and greater interest would be shown and the Art Class of Westbrook High School could be compared with the Art De- partment of other local schools. Art is one of the most beautiful things in life and has a great deal todo with human joy and happiness. It trains us to see the beau- tiful side of life and discard the ugly things, therefore we want to get a thorough apprecia- tion of Art and be able to enjoy life to its full- est extent.

VVestbrook High School SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We, the class of 1931, have reached the end of our high school days. Now the gateways are Hung open and we must choose our own path in life. We look back on these school days with oy, mingled with pride at the thought of having been able to spend four such happy years in Westbrook High School, yet again with sorrow that we are leaving. On September 12, 1927, we started our high school career with one hundred fifty excited boys and girls. Soon after, we were given a reception which will never be forgotten by any member of the class. We started a good record by having six girls and four boys who represented us in athletics. By the time we had become Sophomores, our enrollment had dropped to 106, but this did not lessen our hope of being the largest class to graduate. This year went by at a great rate of speed, and before we realized it we were nearing the end. We were honored this year by having Camil Huard and Harold Lord in the school play, Laif That Off. At the close of our Sophomore year, we realized ourselves as upperclassmen still striving for that distinction we so hoped to gain. We then were 92 strong and hoped to stay so. The receiving of our high school rings was one of the biggest events of our Junior year, while the Senior Recep- tion was another. The following committee was in charge: Dorothea Atkins, Elizabeth Knight, Christine Pudvah, Arline Anderson, Harold Lord, Philip Laffin and Floyd Largerson. As seniors, we are 91. This makes us very happy, because we find that our hope of four years has been fulfilled, that is, to be the largest class to graduate from Westbrook High School. Shortly after school opened in September, the class elected the following officers: President-Alan Titcomb. Vice-President-Dorothy Washburn. Secretary-Harold Lord. Treasurer-Richard Lopez. The first great event of our senior year was the Freshman Reception. After that our thoughts were turned to athletics. In these we have been 47 well represented during the year by thirteen boys and four girls. Eleven of these are lettermen. They are: James C. Doucette, Frank Collins, Philip Lafhn, Harold Lord, Richard Lopez, Francis Brann, Frank Robie, George Smith, Dorothea Atkins, Dorothy Esty and Mildred Doucette. We were represented in the school play, f'Green Stockings, by Alan Titcomb, Merrill Tracy, Elizabeth Knight, Ethel Hebert and Harold Lord. P The ten highest ranking students in the class were as follows: Dorothy Washburn, Elinor Chick, Richard Gordon, Anna Graffam, Ethel Hebert, George Marier, Rena Crague, Elizabeth Knight, Philip Tarbox and Dorothy VVelch. It is nearly time for us to leave the portals of our high school, but in our memories will always linger the thoughts of our happy days at West- brook High School. - A. E. A., '31.

The Blue G while CLASS OF 1932 We entered Westbrook High School as green freshmen in 1928, and we were cordially given our welcome by the seniors. As sophomores, we passed the longest and dreariest part of our des- tination. And now we enter the ranks of the up- perclassmen as juniors. At our first class meet- ing the following officers were elected: President-Arthur Foye. Vice-President-Mortimer Chaplin. Secretary-Joyce Newcomb. Treasurer--Randall Rich. A Ring Committee was chosen andson Decem- ber 1, 1930, we received our class rings. We were represented in sports by Arthur Foye, Mortimer Chaplin, Norman Tourangeau, Raymond Cote, Robert Rich, Charles Robie, Philip Hanson and Clayton Curit.

FRESHMAN REPORT On September 13, 1930, Vllestbrook High opened with 133 freshmen. At the Assembly that morning we were given our schedule cards and had the experience of listening to our superiors sing, VVakel Freshmen! VVakel Due to that inspiration, we did wake, and settled down to the interesting task of procuring an education. In due time there was an election of officers, and the following were chosen: President-Howard joy. Vice-President-Jeannette Chase. Secretary-Robert LaFond. Treasurer-Philip Welch. A They appear to be fulfilling their duties cred- itably. The seniors sponsored a Freshman Reception in October, which was a grand success. The freshmen, early in the evening, were dressed grotesquely, and, with their faces painted almost beyond recognition, were put through stunts. Fol- lowing the performances, we were pleasantly received by the Faculty. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. A few freshmen were unfortunate enough to find themselves marooned on some lonely road near Gorham or Windham, or on Congress Street in Portland, and were obliged to seek their own method of return- ing home. Forty-one freshmen are taking the College Course, 28 are taking the Commercial Course, and 66 are taking the Industrial Course. Several freshmen are showing splendid school spirit in regard to basketball and football. We are also proud to say that two freshmen, Virginia Harri- man and Petro Peters, have been chosen to take part in the high school play, Green Stockings.

AFTER HIGH ScHooL-VVHAT? Probably a number of this graduating class will never attend school again. Some will say, 'fl never want to look inside of a schoolhouse. 'Others will want to continue their-scholastic ca- reer. VVe must all face the question, VVhat am I to do after I graduate from Vlfestbrook High School PH Unless one is especially gifted in some one line, the choosing of oneis life work is a very difficult task. It is a question which, sooner or later, every boy and girl has to answer. To make Westbrook High School lp 59 I take this opportunity of expressing my appreciation for the loyalty which Tvlestluroolg people hafvea shown., mea at all times. I will always consicler it my home town. Sincerely, Cgfnhert Qtcly fUalleef ' so The Blue ef white matters all the more difficult, it is a question that one has to decide for himself. Others may give friendly advice and even go so far as to tell you for what you are best fitted, but whether or not their opinion agrees with yours is a matter for you to decide. Above all, choose something that you enjoy doing. Remember, it will probably be your life work, or at least, the basis of it. It is of vital importance, especially in- these times, to know absolutely what we want to do, and not leave any trailers behind to get tangled up with what we think we might do. How, then, shall this ques- tion be decided? Those who have learned the meaning of the word success tell us that it comes by the follow- ing a well-made, definite plan of procedure in regard to our education, along the line we believe we are best fitted to follow, and that line should be chosen as soon as one has arrived at the so- called years of understandingf' Statistics show that this period begins about the time one enters high school. Therefore, the question should be de- cided at that time. The average person has 110 time to spend in try- ing several of a hundred professions and then, after a waste of both time and money, finally set- tle down into the one he likes best. It is of the greatest importance to decide as quickly as pos- sible , take an inventory of one's life and see for what he is best suited and then take steps to bring his decision to a reality. The road to success spells hard work' in very plain letters, but once having gained the top of the ladder, you have gained an education and an experience that no one can take from you. There is no time like the present. De- cide now what you are most fitted for and then work with that point in view. YOU You are the fellow that has to decide Whether you'll do it or toss it aside. You are the fellow who makes up your mind Whether you'll lead or will linger behind- Whether youlll try for the goal that's afar Or be contented to stay where you are. Take it or leave it. Herels something to do! just think it over. It's all up to you! What do you wish? To be known as a shirk, Known as a good man who's willing to work, Scorned for a loafer or praised by your chief, Rich man or poor man or beggar or thief? Eager or earnest or dull through the day, Honest or crooked? It's you who must say! You must decide in the face of the test Whether you'll shirk it or give it your best. Nobody here will compel you to rise, No one will force you to open your eyesg No one will answer for you, yes or no, Whether to stay there or whether to go. Life is a game, but it's you who must say, Whether as cheat or as sportsman you'll play. Fate may betray you, but you settle first, Whether to live to your best or your worst. So whatever it is you are wanting to be, Remember, to fashion the choice you are free. Kindly or selhsh, or gentle or strong, Keeping the right way or taking the wrong, Careless of honor or guarding your pride, All these are questions which you must decide. Yours the selection, whichever you dog The thing men call character's all up to you! -EDGAR A. GUEST.

His younger sister, Virginia, whose only ambition was to make a name for herself in the literary world, was eager- ly opening a large package which had been mailed from up North. Between the inner wrapper, Vir- ginia came across this card: Dear Miss Waverly: Hearing of your recent literary success and your critical essay which appeared in the Carolina Monthly, the fol- lowing school year books and weekly papers have been sent to you, for your inspection and criticism. Anxiously awaiting your reply, ' ' EDVVARD H. SHAW, Prin. of Shaw High School, R. I. Virginia- was so overwhelmed with joy at this unexpected notice of recognition that she imme- diately began to read the papers and to prepare her comments, which were as follows: The Boston U nifomfsity N ews-You have an ex- tremely well balanced edition. Through this pa- per it can clearly be seen that the activities of the University life are varied and interesting. The editorials and discussions are of special interest. The-W'eslb1'ook Alnnini 'Bulletin-F or a small paper, it certainly must be of interest to the alum- ni students. T believe, however, that the paper might be greatly improved, especially if editorials were added. For, is it not through literary work that the talent of a school may be discerned? Virginia smiled as she scanned the joke column of The Bay Pa-th Signboaifol, and took notice of these for her brother's benefit. Here, heref' said the golf enthusiast to his son who was ignoring the spinach on his plate, get back to the green. Another: That's an example of something pleasure bent,', remarked the father, as he gazed at his son's Ford wrapped around a telephone pole. Your paper is carefully prepared and cer- tainly mirrors the spirit of the school. The llfaino Campus, published by the students of the University: You have a most interesting paper. The articles are well written and it is interesting to note the pleasure taken in winter sports. The Colby Echo 3 Your paper is very enjoyable. Excellent material and carefully chosen. l took particular notice of the musical talent of the col- lege. More editorials would greatly increase the interest of the paper. Last of Virginia's list was The Olympian of Biddeford High School. This magazine came up to my expectations, especially the literary depart- ment. The stories are excellent and exceedingly interesting. Your Poets' Nook is also excellent, it reveals talent. More pictures would add greatly to the attraction and general interest. As Virginia carefully folded the last magazine, a smile of happiness swept over her countenance for now she realized that her lifelong ambition had been fulfilled. B. VV., '32. r n fo -Nu?

The boys lost to Cheverus, 13-0. ,Ridge of Cheverus had little trouble in circling the ends. The following week Westbrook beat Morse, 6-0. Once more it was Billings who crashed over the line for Westbrook's lone score. The team then tied Biddeford 6-6 in one of the roughest, hardest-fought games of the season. Brann finally caught a pass to tie the score for Westbrook. Westbrook next journeyed to Portland and was beaten, 20-O. Portland was supreme from the start. The only bright spots for Westbrook were the work of Billings and Foye's excellent defen- sive play against Ward, giant Portland lineman. The team then dropped one to South Portland, 25-0, on a muddy field. However, the following week they beat Thornton 13-O. King and Billings scored for Westbrook. Late in the first period, Doucette broke loose for a beautiful run of 48 yards, the longest by any Westbrook player in the entire season. The boys closed their season in a rather dismal manner by losing to Deering, 28-0. The second team had a very successful season and won Westbrook's first football cup. Captain Roland Chase played a splendid game, offensively i I and defensively, throughout the season. In fact, many people questioned his absence from the first team. All in all, the football season was not a suc- cess, due partly to the fact that many fellows who had all the physical requirements for football were a bit lazy and therefore did not come out for the team. Throughout the 'season the work of Billings, Laflin, and Captain Collins stood out. King did some fine punting. Lopez, Foye, Tourangeau. and Brann also showed fiashes of good form at one time or another. Doucette played one great game against Thornton. However, the team did not work smoothly. This was the greatest factor in their failure. Captain Collins, Billings, Laflin, Lopez, Dou- cette, Brann, Bettez and Lord. are lost to next year's team. A J. W. P., BASKETBALL The basketball team started on its journey through the schedule by defeating the Alumni, 62-25. In this game the team showed up well. The boys continued their good work in their next game and beat Gorham Normal School, 32-22. The team evidently relished the taste of victory for they conquered Thornton, 32-13.

Westbrook 31-30 in a heart-breaking overtime pe- riod. In this game Doucette played brilliant bas- ketball. He saved the VVestbrook cause on at least two occasions when all seemed lost. In their next game the boys pasted Fryeburg, 59-17. Billings played his usual fine game and the team 'worked well together. The team then journeyed to South. Portland, losing in the last quarter, 28-16. Playing with only a one-day rest, the team lost a hard-fought game to Thornton, 95-93. The al- most incessant hissing and razzing of the West- brook forces caused the referee to call three fouls which eventually cost VVestbrook the game. It does not pay to ride the officials or the opposing players. The boys also dropped their next game, 34-20, Samuel Johnson Academy beating them in a rather listless game. However, they broke into the win column by beating Portsmouth, 35-16. Biddeford next fell before VVestbrook, 31-20. In this game Billings starred. Westbrook sus- tained a terrible defeat at the hands of South Portland, 69-20. In this game, South Portland led all the way. The VVestbrook team was completely demoralized : the temporary loss of Captain Chap- lin weakened them. VVestbrook then fell before Deering, 36-29. The boys led-a' the half, but they fell by the wayside in the second half. A jinx must have been follow- ing the team for Portsmouth took them into camp, 27-19. P. S. The last game of the season with Bidde- ford has not at present been played-now go on with the story-the team started off well, but slowed up somewhat toward the last of the sea- scn, they seemed a bit disorganized. Billings led the scorers of the conference, Chaplin also ranked close to the top. Throughout the season, Billings, Chaplin, and Doucette were the main cogs of the team. Billings, Doucette, Lord, Neilson, and-Collins are lost to next year's team. VVestbrook High School 69 BASEBALL 1 The baseball team of 1930 opened its season auspiciously, trouncing 'Biddeford by the football score of 29-O. The following week Fred Went- worth shut out Thornton on their own field, 9-0. After having beaten Sanford, 15-13, West- brook journeyed to Bayside Park and there Went- worth painted his masterpiece. In the entire nine innings he allowed the Cheverus team exactly one hit and fanned an even dozen. In this game Robichaud made a brilliant play on a mean grounder. While prone upon the ground he stopped the ball and tossed it to Kelley for the out. Following another victory over Sanford, this time 11-4, VVestbrook faced Portland and sus- tained their first defeat of the season by a 11-5 score. ,, ' The team pounded South Portland into submis- sion, 141-2, and then was beaten, 5-1, by Davis, Deeringis star southpaw hurler.. Biddeford next fell before VVestbrook, 8-6, in one of the hardest fought games of the season. The following week NVestbrook, with King pitch- ing,'beat Thornton, 9-O., Cheverus and South Portland were defeated 8-'7 and 5-3 respectively. In the South Portland game, W. Hawkes pitched line ball. The team closed its season by getting revenge on Deering, 12-9. The other game with Portland, which had been postponed, was not played be- cause of the close of school. At an exhibition game later in the year the cup was presented. During the season Captain-elect V. Hawkes played his usual dependable game. Wfentworth. Captain WI. Hawkes, and Doucette won positions on the All-Telegram team. Robichaud, playing his first season, played fine defensive ball, Kelley played a good all-round game, and Sinclair played a steady game at third base. . i The outfield. composed of Tracy, W. Hawkes, XVentworth, Iensen,iand Anderson, hit very well and played fair defensive ball. i The team lost by graduation, Wlentworth, Sin- clair, NV. Hawkes, McDonald, and Jensen. Tracy is debossed by the age limit rule. J. w.

The game yet to be played is with Brunswick. After losing the first game of the season to Freeport, the Maine School of Commerce game was won. The game proved to be fast and very close. At the end of the half the score stood 14-13 in Westbrook's favor. In the last quarter our girls ran up a lead which they held until the end with a final score of 32-28.
