Vlfhen Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh stepped from his little plane, The Spirit of St. Louis, after his non-stop flight from San Diego to New York, reports all stated that he won the hearts of everyone by his modest, manly bearing. In France, following his New York to Paris non- stop llight in thirty-three and a half hours, he had the same experience. In VVashington and New York he was similarly loved. XVhy? Because people recognized the kind of a young man he was from the way he acted. We use the Word .tl'IU1IlIf?l'.Y to describe a man's behavior. VVhenever a person meets another in business, whenever he applies for a position, whenever he forms social contacts, he is quickly rated. To the one who knows how to act modest- ly and courteously there come advantages. To the one who does not know how to act, there come disadvantages. Many people act in different ways. Some are pleasant 5 others, grouchy. Some are quiet 3 some, noisy. Some are modestg some, swaggering. They all show us what sort of persons they are by their manners. Good manners cannot be put on like new shoes, for they are habits. They are, therefore, outward expressions of our inner selves. C. K., '35. TO THE LIBRARIANS Librarians of the VV:-:stbook Memorial Library, we salute you with honor! How many times you have helped us, the stu- dents of XV. H. S., half an hour for a mere thank you. Even this small reward is sometimes over- looked by the careless student. It is. of course, your duty to serve the public, but we feel that many times you have put the school first. The school library is not sufficient for our needs, and of late we have come to rely more and more upon the Memorial Library. Be- sides helping us in our regular school work, you are now aiding some of our students in cataloging the school library. I-Ve are glad to be able, in a small way, to ex- press our appreciation of your valuable assistance and advice which has been so willingly given us at all times. D. B., '33g I. N., '33. ATHLETICS OF WESTBROOK I-HGH TWENTY YEARS AGO lVhile rummaging around the house recently, I ran across a scrapbook that the Old Man kept during his high school days. Looking through the pages, I caught sight of some big print: Record Score, lVestbrook High Buried Bidde- ford High, 78-O. Some score! I soon became interested and looked further in the book. Here are some announcements that I saw: South Portland Defeated by Vllestbrook, 32-0 g lVest- brook High Defeated Gardiner High, 12-0 g HIV. H. S. Buried Gorham High, 42-O. These were not easy victoriesg they were won by hard, clean. honest playing. Those victories were all in foot- ball. The men in those days had no coach. The manager and captain directed the team. The cap- tain acted as coach and the manager arranged schedules, bought suits and athletic equipment, saw that tickets were printed, and handled all the money. The manager was chosen by a general Westbrook High School assembly of the school and the captain by pre- vious letter men. The scores ran high in all sports. In the year 1912 VVestbrook won the state championship in basketball. I have the telegram that announced this to Westbrook High. The old school had some snappy basketball in those days, but the rules were different. Twenty years ago, it was possible for a player to jump on the back of an opponent and hold his arms while the two teams fought for the ball. Football, too, was a rough and tumble game. Baseball was played in a big way. I have a clipping announcing a twelve- inning, no-hit, no-run game with South Portland, ending 1-0 in NVestbrook's favor. Some game! Hot excitement on both sides! Here's another clipping: Portland High School loses opening game of year. to Paper City Schoolboys, 7-3. Hurrah for 1912! But let's not allow the old boys to beat us. Let's make West- brook High the champion in all sports from 1933 to 2000. Is it O.K. with the rest? Yes? All right then, let's go! R. K., '36. MORE AND BETTER READING Use your libraryg it is maintained for your ben- efit. It seems that some of the Westbrook High School students are utterly unaware of the exist- ence of the Memorial Library and its advantages. Many visit it only to borrow a book on which to give a report and then forget about it until two or three days before the next report is due. The librarians are always courteous and eager to help one in finding material for debates, essays, oral reports, or for almost any form of school work. VV hy don't you go there tomorrow or next week and let one of them assist you to find more material for the essay that you are about to write? An uneducated person has a far smaller oppor- tunity in life today than his rival who has taken advantage of his chance to learn. Perhaps you cannot go to advanced schools. You are not less fortunate than many others who are in the same 1,1 Y position. In fact you have a priceless opportunity to educate yourself in good literature, in history, and in a score of other subjects. Your library is the golden gate through which you may pass into the paradise of culture and refinement that is knowledge. Do you want to find a way to spend a pleasant afternoon or evening? Go to the library and return laden with books. Books are great friends which will never fail to entertain you. XN'on't you turn over a new leaf and adopt as your slogan more and better books from now on ? J. G., '33. THE BLUE AND WHITE Probably there are very few of us or of our readers who are acquainted with the history of THE BLUE AND VVHITE. Therefore, in order to satisfy our own curiosity and at the same time to revive pleasant memories of those who were in school at the time of the first publication, we have prepared this short article. In looking over the back copies of THE BLUE AND NNI-IITE, we found that the first number was missing from our files, but we finally obtained one copy. The first issue was published in 1904, twenty-nine years ago, by the Junior Class. The following made up the first Editorial Board: Editor-in-Chief, PHILBUR N. CRAGIN .4s.vixfant Editor, NVAt:rsR Loweu. Business Manager, ROY M. STEVENS As.vi.ttant BllSfll0.YS rllanagcr, AMOS S'rAPLEs .-1.v.wriah' Editors, H1-:Nav H. Hawes. ESTHER LIBBY, XVILLARD PHILLIPS, MARION DANA The suggestion for establishing a school paper was made to the junior Class by Miss Grace L. Dolley, a teacher in XV. H. S. at the time and at present an instructor at Portland High School. It seems that the class was sadly in need of funds for their treasury and having been forbidden to run a dance, they looked around for other means of raising money. Miss Dolley's suggestion for establishing a school paper was enthusiastically received and the whole class worked diligently to make it a success. Q W The Blue f-r VVhite 8 The result of their labor was a fifty-six page magazine, 'YM inches by 994, inches, which was named THE BLUE AND WHITE. It contained a number of short editorials, a very interesting cal- endar of events, some statistics of the Senior Class, the histories of the other classes, a literary department and an athletic review. Every year since that time there has been an issue published and each has enjoyed considerable success from a financial as well as from a literary standpoint. D. B., '33, THE LITTLE THEATER CLUB Irleigh Ho, everybody. Oh, no, this is not Rudy Vallee. You see. I just couldn't be Rudy. the principal reason being, that I am no crooner. So just to be honest with you, I am an announcer, attempting to bring to you the inside news of The Little Theater Club, an organization recently formed in Vlfestbrook I-Iigh School for the pur- pose of studying public speaking, dramatics. and kindred subjects, as well as for the furtherance of any project for the betterment of the school. VVhat fun we have! If you don't believe me. just happen around some Monday afternoon and watch the procedure of the make-up and costum- ing groups. And, girls, if you want your faces lifted. just consult The Little Theater Club make-up commit- tee, for they certainly can work wonders. VVhy. in a very short time, one can quickly be trans- formed from an American to an English. a Dutch, a Chinese, a japanese, or a Parisian maid. with costumes to match, supplied by our fashion- able seamstresses. Y et, perhaps you have a failing for arguing. Come, just the same, for we have a group in which you can voice your opinions on the latest topics of the day. By the way, just watch for announcements of coming attractions-entertainments where many members will be able to show their great dramatic ability. VVe expect, too, fair-sized proceeds which will help to swell the treasury balance. Oh, yes, I almost forgot our occasional lunch counters. Never mind that last hurried mouthful of your rushed breakfast. VVait until recess and patronize our cafeteria, where you will find goodies, tempting to anyone's appetite. Now my time is up. But for any further in- formation regarding The Little Theater Club, just write to the Information Bureau of the Club, XV. H. S., in care of the station to which you are listening, and it will be forwarded to you with pleasure. Station L. T. C. at VVestbrook is now signing off. Good-bye, everybody, until next Monday af- ternoon. R. S., '34, JUST A DESK Although I'm just a desk I, nevertheless, still have thoughts-opinions-and feelings. It is prac- tically useless to express them to human beings, particularly students, because the members of the student body don't understand my language and would not hear me if I should appeal. Otherwise, my pleas would have been attended to long ago. In brief, we, the desks of the VVestbrook High School, have united in a common cause to benefit our health, happiness and faces. We have named our organization the Anti-Scratch Society. lVe feel that our faces boards long enough. tend to get it. have been used for black- We want action and we in- causes for carving into our There are many profiles-among the chief being spring fever and desire for recognition. Spring fever is that force of nature that influences the imaginative and spir- itual powers of youth. The effect of this power is shown by the number of hearts drawn or carved on us. The hearts, though of proper meaning, are not of any particular beauty or artistic taste. They, in fact, corrupt our features, making us hardly recognizable. Desire for recognition, as we see it, is that force of human nature that tends to elevate self. This is illustrated in our case by the initials of a person and the date of his prob- able graduation being written upon each of us. VVestbrook High School 'FH 9 The pupils having their initials inscribed in such a manner do not create the desired impression: yet we have to suffer. In ending may I say to you. If you should disregard my view, May expulsion be your due. E. J., 'aa TRIBUTE TO LIBRARY I am glad, said one book to another, that we are now able to have places of our own and not be thrown and banged around as before. XVe really ought to thank all who have made this pos- sible for us. This probably is how the book feels, just the same as we students feel now and always shall. Never before have we had such a wonderful sys- tem in our library, a system similar to that of the VVestbrook Memorial Library. By this plan, books are no longer destroyed and allowed to re- main all over the room on one desk or another. Neatness and order have sprung into place. We should all join in extending thanks to the school librarians and all who have helped to make this system possible. L . F., 'aa THE BEGINNING OF THE NEW CENTURY The class of 1900 felt its importance in being the first to graduate from W'estbrook High in the new century. The ending of the old and the be- ginning of the new, with the many changes just starting. gave added impressiveness to that last year. As I look back and compare our class with the classes of the present, I feel that we must have been a rather stolid, sober group-hard-working, considerate, loyal to our classmates and to our school, willing to do to the best of our ability what was expected of us, and earning the reputation of being a comfortable group with which to live. No member of the class, to my knowledge, has won great fame but all have won standing as hon- est, substantial citizens who could be depended upon to carry on through peace time and war time, through good times and bad. Of the twenty- three, live became teachers, all but seven married, and at least five have been called to their eternal home. VVhen we were students there was no annex, no industrial building, no electric lighting in any of the rooms, no telephone in the building or in the majority of Westbrook homes, no commercial, art or home economics department, no gymnasium at Cumberland Hall, no athletic activity for girls, and no dancing was allowed at any school func- tion. IN'e had no school play each year, neither did we publish any BLUE AND VVHITE. However, we did have Public speaking contests. Automobiles were not of that day and the bi- cycle and trolley were the usual means of trans- portation. Hiking was not at all popular, doubt- less due to the fact that the clothing of girls was entirely unsuited to such activity. Sororities, Campfire Girls, and Girl Scouts were quite unknown to us and we had few, if any, social clubs. Moving pictures were in their in- fancy and we seldom saw them. Talking pictures, wireless telegraphy and the radio had not been invented. Good old days ! Yes, because we knew noth- ing better and were happy with what we had. It hardly seems possible that such radical changes could have taken place in the short space of a quarter of a century. And as for a school nurse and school doctor, one who suggested such things would have been considered queer! The century is still far from middle-aged and long before that fiftieth year is here I hope to hear the old school called Junior High School and see Westbrook the proud possessor of a building modern in every way, adequate for future needs, and filled with pupils upholding the traditions of good old Westlirook I-Iigh. Here's to the good izcrw days! M. S. B., 1900. Wie of Wfestbrook High School owe much to Miss Carrie B. Phinney, who is a former music supervisor of Vilestbrook, for it is due to her efforts that We now have the privileges of an orchestra, a Glee Club, and a chorus. 10 Miss Phinney received her first training in the Boston Conservatory of Music. In June, 1922, she went to New York to study for the summer, and in 1931 she received her B. S. degree in musi- cal education. She has had very expensive expe- rience in teaching music. She taught for two years at East Stroudsburg, Penn., for six and one-half years at Swarthmore and, in 1931, re- ceiving a six months' leave of absence, went to New York to complete her education, finally com- ing to Ben Avon, a suburb of Pittsburgh, in Sep- tember, 1931. She plans to attend Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois. to obtain her M. S. degree. Mgr The Blue G- VVhite In a letter received from her recently, Miss Phinney pays a sincere tribute to the teachers of Wfestbrook High School. I am, at the end of ten years, a far more ar- dent and loyal Mainiac than when I left-if such a thing is possible. No matter where I go, I Hnd no place like dear old Maine: no folks quite like Maine people, and sometime I'm going back. I spent some of 'my happiest years in the WVestbrook schools, and nowhere have I found more loyal helpers or firmer friends than the VVestbrook corps of teachers. I send cordial greetings to them and to all my dear pupil musicians, wherever they may be. . 31 f -. :W-1,1 . nit. lQ1Z!lU!LUQD gf 3 0 Westbrook High School 1 ,..

Yes, yes, Isabelle. XVhat do you want ? was the reluctant answer. 'tEvery day for over thirty years I've heard you brag about the big results and easy plowing on this farm. I've been watching you from the kitchen window and you've plowed that row you're starting up three different times. Johannes released his hold on the shafts of the plow and walked slowly up the path to the house. As he reached the house, Isabelle asked, Are you still worrying about those railroad people ? lVell-er-ah. Don't lie now. Yes, I was thinking of them. But, Johannes, you said if we didn't want to sell, they couldn't make us. Yes, but I got to thinking and I don't know. That man that came to see us knows more than I do, and you know he said they could make us sell. Perhaps he said it to scare us. Let us hope so. The price he named was more than the farm is worth. Isabelle burst into tears. You know we couldn't get a price large enough for this farm. a seat on the doorstep, Johannes said slowly, No, there couldn't be another farm like this anywhere. For a few moments they sat in silence. Then Isabelle, who had been looking towards the road. stood up suddenly and cried excitedly, Look at that man coming up the road l The man was a short, sturdy type. His partly gray hair was rumpled. His perfectly tailored suit was wrinkled and dusty. His sleeves were rolled to the elbow. There was a streak of grease starting at the end of one eye and running down to the opposite cheek. I-Iis face was red and cov- ered with perspiration, and before him he care- fully extended two black, grease-covered hands. Ivith an embarrassed bow he said pleasantly, l'My name is Mr. Lorentzen, President of the Indiana Branch Railroad. Isabelle replied, My name is Isabelle and this is my husband, Johannes. Come right in and make yourself at home whi'e I heat some water for you to wash your hands in. Mr. Lorentzen looked relieved and followed Isabelle as she led the way into the house. Io- hannes followed, with a puzzled frown on his face. Isabelle said briskly. Bring the best chair out for Mr. Lorentzen and then start the fire. Mr. Lorentzen, you wash up while I get supper.

How could he have forgotten that delicious sup- per and the memorable evening spent in that old- fashioned, seldom-used parlor, looking at old pic- tures of the farm and its residents which Johannes proudly displayed. Wfith a relieved and contented sigh he let himself back on the pillow. At half-past eleven Mr. Loi-entzen appeared shamefacedly in the doorway of the kitchen and explained, I just couldn't resist the real temp- tation of a good sleep without a business date at eight o'clock to worry about. Isabelle was standing over a bread board with her hands buried in dough. She smiled, saying, That's all right. Johannes is working in the gar- den Q he wants me to send you out so he can show it to you. You'll have to excuse us, but you know work must go on at a farm. During the conversation at dinner Mr. Lorent- zen asked, I suppose you know most of your neighbors P M Isabelle laughed as she explained, Land sakes, yes, Johannes can name any person that's lived around here since he was a boy. Isnit there a man and woman living near here whose name is Lane ? Johannes asked excitedly, XVhat's his first name? 57 W'hy, I don't know, but the initials are J. T. Johannes answered promptly, '1'hat's me. Mr. Lorentzen exclaimed, You must be jok- ing' me. But seeing their serious faces, asked, How soon can you take me to town, Mr. Lane ? Johannes answered the unexpected question rather unsteadily, VVell-er-why, any time you want to go. Right now ? y Right now. All right, go hitch up and hurry. But I don't- Mr. Lorentzen interrupted, Hurry, I have just remembered some important business that I must attend to right awayf' :of fa :lf ik as wk Pk 11: at 4: as is Mr. Lorentzen, seated in the office of his friend, Mr. Bishop, said, I've decided we don't need that new territory for the railroad.

' I think there are some things this world needs more than railroads. Such as ? Such as homemade quilts, feather beds, and flannel nightshirtsf' B. D., '3-L. THE END OF A PERFECT DAY Everything imaginable had gone wrong that day. Late to work, a call down from the boss, failure to get that contract, and now, a ticket at- tached to his car for parking. Well, he would settle that tomorrow. Slamming the door, Bill Moore seated himself comfortably and started the car. Everything was wrong with the world thought he. As he drove on, his mind was one whirl of hitter thoughts for that day. Only one thing was of any consolation to him and that was the quiet evening he was looking forward to at home. Slamming on the brakes as he came to a green light he let his gaze wander over the busy streets before him. He was quickly brought out of his trance, however, by the toot of a horn apparently belonging to the car behind. Suddenly it hap- pened, and before he knew it he felt his feet Hy from under him and his head bump the car top. Oooh! Gritting his teeth. Confound that driver. Might've known it would be a woman. Wait until I give her a piece of my mind. I'll tell her something she will never forget. With a dark scowl on his face he started for- Ward. Westbrook High school is The occupant of the other car was somewhat stirred up also, and her temper was aroused as well for that car had just been delivered to her that morning as a gift from her husband, and to have a bent fender the first day was not very pleasing. Couldn't that man see straight? Couldn't he see the policeman's hand and hear his whistle? By now quite a crowd had gathered to witness the damage. A policeman made his way through the crowd. I tell you, officer, there ought to be a law against letting women drive. They can't see any farther than their noses. Fools! Their place is at home, not out riding. I tell you, officer, she's to blame. On and on Bill mumbled as he approached the object of this accident. Hey, why don't you--Heaven sakes! Jane- what are you doing here? All right, officer, this is my wife. I'll attend to it. Much to the amusement of the increasing crowd, Bill continued to mumble on and on, giv- ing ,lane only time to put in a word here and there. As they started to drive away, words of anger drifted back to the crowd. The war was on. So Bill and Jane went home but not to spend a quiet evening as he expected. 1 L. F. If., '33, CHOCORUA'S CURSE Once upon a time in the pleasant hills of North Conway, an Indian prophet and chieftain roamed through the forests with his young son. On one occasion he was obliged to go to Saint Francis, Canada, to consult his people. Believing this to be too long a trip for his boy, he left him with a settler living in a nearby county. This man was named Cornelius Campbell, and was a hardy hunter and an ambitious worker. The young Indian boy was happy in his life with the Campbells. He was interested in the hunting and in the home life of the family. It happened that Mr. Campbell had prepared some poison for a mischievous fox that had been troub- ling the settlement. This poison through some mischance was found and drunk by the boy. Chocorua, the boy's father, returned home and found his son dead. His mind was filled with un- reasoning hatred, and he plotted revenge on Cornelius Campbell. One morning, while Campbell was in the woods, Chocorua went to the hunter's home and brutally murdered his family, leaving evidences that showed only too plainly that an Indian had done the deed. A party was organized by the settlers to hunt down the Indian. After a long march, Chocorua was located on a high cliff, his retreat cut off. I-Ie had climbed the precipice to look for the return of his friends, who were away hunting. Mr. Campbell shouted to Chocorua to throw himself down into the deep abyss below. ' Chocorua, hearing his enemy's voice, replied calmly that the Great Spirit had given him' life, which he would not throw away at the command of the white man. Then raising his gun, Camp- bell told the Indian to hear this Great Spirit speak in the white man's thunder. So Chocorua fell, but in the falling pronounced a curse upon the white man: VVind and fire destroy your dwell- ings! Lightning blast your crops! The Evil Spir- it breathe death upon your cattlef' Uttering these inaudible curses, he sank. His bones they left to moulder in the sun. It is true, that his curse rested on the settle- ment. Tomahawk and knife were busy-winds tore up trees and blew down dwellings, crops were blasted, cattle died and sickness came to their strongest men. Finally the last remnant left the fatal spot to live in larger and more prosperous colonies. E. H. F., '33. A MOOD FOR EVERY SNOWSTORM It's queer how the snowstorms affect me. Each different kind creates a different mood. It has always been so and probably always will he so. Sometimes, when the snow comes tapping at my window, inviting, seeking a kindred soul, 16 when the wind howls around the corner of the house and through the maple tree, driving the white flakes before it, there arises in me an innate longing, stronger than desire, for something in- tangible, unformed, and pent-up as yet. Wfhat it is I do not know. Perhaps years and experience will tell. Perhaps it will never be revealed, who knows? Maybe if this pent-up something is ever loosed, it will prove disappointing, distasteful, because environment, friends, tastes. interests. and, indeed, my whole life will have changed by that time. VVhether it enfolds a new inspiration for a career, or knowledge of some principles necessary to harmonious living with the human beings we call friends, I do not know. Nevertheless, that sort of sixth sense is there, and during every storm the usually dormant feel- ing which grows into vague restlessness stirs, wakes, and does not sleep again till its hunger has been appeased by the snow. the disturbing ele- ment. Then it is that I go out into the storm to be blown about at the wind's will. The raging wind seems to sympathize with me and its griefs and woes seem enough worse than mine to completely eclipse my petty cares. It screams at me tales of sorrow which in their awfulness make me forget my silly troubles. But that is the consolation that the storm can give me when I am inclined to be morbid and depressed. On the other hand, when I am happy because I have conquered or mastered something, the wind shouts with me, itself triumphant because it has bent a tree till it has cried out in pain and has finally surrendered. Then, I walk with my head in the air, with a melody in my heart, and with a song on my lips. XV hat does it matter that the snow is covering my throat and neck, that the frost is biting 1ny toes and fingertips? That is only com- parable to the many things which obstructed my way in acquiring my most cherished desire, Did I not overcome them? Now I can return home, happy, eager, jubilant, ready to tackle the still harder work that awaits me. I will succeed. Nothing can prevent me, now. The Blue f-r VVhite This is all well and good for a blizzard, but what of the times when the Hakes drift down softly? Once, in the late afternoon, I was hurry- ing home from school. Across the street lay the big, red-brick mill. One would think that there could be nothing beautiful in a scene which con- tained a warp mill, but all my life I will remember that picture. All over the ground lay the sparkling crystals, more precious than diamonds in the twilight. The fine particles were drifting down softly as if floating on wings of shiny gossamer. As each flake lit on the ground it whispered ever so softly to its neighbor. Through this, the lights of the mill, softened by the steam within on the window- panes, shone out, causing a miniature rainbow to radiate from each little Hake. The fall of the snow deadened the monotonous hum of the weary mill and I fancied that I heard the lazy drone of the bee and that these flashes of color were the refiection of the sun on glittering wings. Above all this was the sense of peace that per- vaded the atmosphere. All the rancor, harshness, and strife of the world seemed erased just be- cause the hard lines of a mill were softened by falling snow which seemed to bless the earth. As I stood there, those snowdrops caressed my cheek and lash too, and I went on my way, hoping that the next passer-by would feel the same way. So do you see how little it takes to create an impression upon my mind? Can you understand how storms affect me? If you can, you will know why I love snowstorms. M. C. K., '33. MORMONISM On a recent trip through the State of New York I had the fortune and privilege to visit the home of joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon religion. When I left this picturesque home, nestled among the rambling hills of far western New York, I had a far different idea and knowl- edge of a Mormon and his religion. In fact, my whole attitude was changed toward this cult. Be- fore my visit a Mormon was much the same to me as a Turk or a Mohammedan and I had all Westbrook High School ,fl Ml1AhlIlNl!E S1lUlIHl1lD1DllL 'DIP 1lEZ4lDlWlNllllEllQ'HIE Normal Training for Commercial Teaching Secretarial, Accounting, Business Administration for Business Careers Finishing Courses for High School Commercial Graduates College Grade Courses for Teaching and Business Portland School - 480 CONGRESS STREET - Opposite Chapman Building NORTHEASTERN BUSINESS COLLEGE Puente 1755 97 Danforth Street, Portland C aurser .'

The Blue 6- White Sorts of horrible ideas of them. Now I realize I was mistaken for during the short while I was at this old Mormon home, I found the true Mor- mon. Mormonism really originated in New York State and not in Utah as many people believe. Salt Lake City has been their headquarters only since 1847. In the western part of New York, near Lake Ontario, there is a large, treeless hill. This hill is named Cumorah Hill after the Mor- mon prophet, Cumorah. Every year the Mormons in that vicinity climb this hill and hold a religious service on its summit. Our party visited the hill and it was really very interesting. After viewing the hill. we continued to the real object of our tour. VVe were going to visit the same house that Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism, occupied in the year 1807. Vlfe were all greatly excited at this prospect, but we were more excited when we were told that we might visit the sacred grove where it was said that Smith had received a divine revelation while he prayed. VV hen we arrived at the Smith Homestead C' some of Smiths direct descendants live there stillj, we were warmly received and invited in to look at the house. The house was much the same as in Smithis dayg a few small changes had been made but they did not affect the antiquity of it. VVe explored the building from attic to ground fioor. IVe learned the meaning of old oil paintings, what they represented and what connection they had with this religion. I happened to discover Smith's old musket with which he used to repel the attacks of Indians, which were not uncommon in his day. There was also a bullet mold and a box of leaden bullets which he had made himself. We visited his study where he is said to have re- ceived several messages from prayed. Vile visited the sacred grove in which Smith received his first revelation. To get to this spot we had to go through a farmyard. It seemed un- iitting that for one to reach a sacred spot one had to pass hens scratching in the dirt and cows in the fields. This is exactly what we did and not only that but we crossed a small brook and had to Walk quite a distance through a grain field. It Heaven when he really took almost all of the romance of this ad- venture awayg yet when We finally did enter the quiet woods and followed the winding path into the grove, I could almost see Smith there praying. It was a beautiful spot, but we did not stay long as it seemed almost a sacrilege. It reminded me of a pilgrimage and it was-for our Mormon guide. Back at the homestead we talked a while with the native Mormons and then left. I, for one. had a more thorough understanding of what Mor- monism is, who founded it, and what it means to its followers. L. HBERGLERSM or CHDUMB COPPERHJ The dumbest cop we ever had here, said the Police Lieutenant in charge of the rooky school. Forty-five inch chest, three inch skull and a paw like an ape. Today in an exam I asked: 'What would you do if you saw an armed burglar enter- ing a store ?' Look at his answer. Sergeant O'Rouke bent over the paper. Gawky, childish letters sprawled across the page which hore sweaty fingermarks and the signs of many erasures. John O'Neil, candidate for the force, had scrawled out: If I seen a bergler I wood arrest Same. The idea is O. Ku said O'Rouke. Yeh, but I've told him forty times how to spell 'burglar '. VVell, his cousin is Alderman Gray. I know. The force's got too many cousins already, growled the Lieutenant. Aw, pass him and give him a shield, said O'Neil. Put him on a quiet beat where he can't do any harm. Suppose I've got to, or Gray will raise Cain around the station. But you'll see. Someone'll steal his uniform or he'll fall into an open man- hole. What will the commissioner say then? He wants good cops. Westbrook High School Qs I9 He wants good authors! replied O'Rouke. Probationary Officer john O'Neil paced his beat. His jaws were firmly set. Each street lamp saw him pause and greet his new shiny shield. He wished his friends could all see him. A quiet beat, a dark night, but he was happy. Yet a shadow hung over him. He recalled the words of his superior: Look out, O'Neil. The commish' judges by his reports. Make yours fancy. Some- where a clock chimed two. Then in the big house on the corner he heard another sound-the crisp, tingling, bell-like tinkle of glass! Funny, he mused, no one's home there. For a few moments he considered his problem. N ow could it be goldfish ?i' he asked himself. Mebbe, he's rich. He'd have goldfish. Yep, guess it was goldfish. He stood gazing doubtfuily at the great house. Suddenly, he saw a light Hash brieliy behind the shutters of the first floor windows. Nope, he remarked, I guess it ain't goldfish. Guess l'd better look into it. His clumsy feet stamped along the pavement and swiftly carried him up the front steps. He peered through a crack in the shutter and beheld two men working in lamp light, on a wall safe. They were ponderous men with blue-black jowls. Tools spread out beside them included. O'Neil noticed, a 45 caliber revolver. John remembered the training school lectures on The science of apprehension of a night marauderf' but he also remembered his untimely naps. The instructor had said, Notify the headquar- ters, send for help, scout the situation. O'Neil tried to remember. He couldn't. Une large un- gainly paw slid to his hip pocket. He gave a low grunt of dismay! No gun there! He remembered --it was at home on his pillow 5 he had placed it there so that he wouldn't forget it. Suddenly his stomach felt empty. He peeped inside again. The men had the safe open now and were taking out jewels and papers. O'Neil filled his great lungs in one breath and quickly hurled his one hundred ninety-five pounds of flesh over the porch rail and plunged head first through the window. There was a splintering of glass and he rolled into the room like a great ball, blue for the most part, but red where the glass had cut his face. The men leaped back. One snatched up the re- volver and pointed its long snout straight at O'Neil. He could see it now in the faint light of the street lamp. He leaped to his feet. Move and I'll drill you!', the man barked. O'Neil moved. He plunged at the man with the gun. The gun barked! O'Neil's left arm felt full of hot needles, then numb. He drove his head hard against the man's chin and they went down in a huddle. The second man came into the fray and a heavy chisel cracked down on O'Neil's head. O'Neil's right hand grasped the man's throat: and, though his left was useless, his legs grasped the chisel wielder and tloored him. The light went on. One burglar struggled to get his gun into ac- tion, the other twisted and struggled that he might jab or club with his chisel. But O'Neil's grips, with arms and legs, did not lessen. Then he felt the man under him go limp. He wrenched around and his ponderous list shot out. Eight inches it proceeded, then abruptly it stopped- on his opponent's jaw. It was over. Probationary Oliicer O'Neil slowly pulled him- self to his feet. Laboriously and painfully, for his wounded arm hurt terribly now, he tied the two men together with his belt. He had forgot- ten his handcuffs. Then he sat down on his two prisonersg fum- bled in his pockets: got out his official notebook, moistened the point of his pencil stub: and, by the dark lantern's light, began to write. For the first time he groaned audibly, but not because of his Wound. His face was wrinkled in agonized concentration. He wrote things, erased themg wrote more and erased more. It was slow going with one hand. Early, gray dawn had come be- fore he had finished his literary labors. They found Probationary Officer O'Neil un- conscious from loss of blood, sprawled across two equally unconscious prisoners. His hand still gripped his notebook. There they read in his own childish writing: Seen berglers, arested same. H. M. L., '3?. I A4 ' The Blue fr VVhite 20 CROOKED PASTURES As the dimming hush crept over the valley of the river Maas and evening covered the little village, which nestled close under the eaves of the mountains, Hergva watched the faint, Hicker- ing lights below and the people, dimly outlined, hurrying about to their tasks. Soon the village would be blotted from sight and he, Hergva, must spend a restless night on the mountain. But in the morning he could travel down to the tiny village and seek his mother, his small brothers, and his beloved Cria. Ah, what a pleas- ant thought was Cria. Hergva could picture her as he had seen her last, but alas, that had been five years ago. And oh, good Hergva, what changes can take place in five years! His thought wandered back to Cria. Does she love me now, or has she forgotten me P During the sleepless night Hergva formed a plan. I will change my appearance and my manner. He smiled and slapped the trunk of a great tree. Then we shall see. XV hen the early rays of the August sun began to glitter through the mountain trees and tlirushes, and orioles flittered from the wild mignonette to the scarlet poppy, dipping their bills in the dew drops, Hergva sat on a mossy ledge, munching his loaf of brown bread and some hard, cold beans, which he carried in his pocket. He watched the village, far below, as the sun picked out each white cottage with its green thatched roof. The sun, searching longer, found new houses which Hergva had never seen and patches of flowers sparkling with dew. Long did Hergva sit silently enrapt by the green fields dotted with clumps of wild roses climbing over huge boulders and up steep ledges, where timid orchids hid in the shadows of tum- bling fences. Only when the cows were brought to the stony pasture, did Hergva move. He combed his hair back over his head and rubbed the oil of crushed acorns on his face and hands. Then he started down over the mountain. The way was rocky and crooked and the trees had grown so thick that Hergva nearly lost his way. Suddenly he came upon the little, well-worn, dusty path up which Cria had driven her goats to pasture many times. Hergva stopped and gazed about: then with a sigh of relief he started on the path and came at last to the village edge. He was stared at by both the children and the elders for he was a droll figure. His face was very brown and oily and his hair stood away from his head. He carried his coat on his arm and a pack on his back. He walked slowly through the streets for it was hot and he was tired. Finally a bustling housewife came rushing out into the street and grabbed a chubby boy by the ear. She was about to return to the house when she spied Hergva. He recognized her at once as his mother and he started forward, but remembering the role he was to play, he paused and looked about him. You seem tired, my lad. Come in and have a bowl of soup. The woman took him by the arm and led him into the kitchen. She placed a steaming bowl of pea soup and some corn bread before Hergva: then she drew up a stool and sat down near the traveler. I welcome every stranger who comes to the valley of Maas because I think that someone might have chanced to see my boy. He looked like you somewhat, only his skin was much lighter. The sun has been very hot, said Hergva. My boy has been across the mountains five years, continued his mother. Five years is a longtime, said Hergva. I knew a boy who came from this village. He called himself Hergva, It is he: it is he, cried the mother, catching Hergva's face in her hands and kissing him vig- orously. Oh, my boy! Sigurd! Rulph! Come. She stood in the doorway waving her arms. Two tall, lanky boys came running to her. He knows of Hergva, she cried to her young sons, pointing to the young man bent over the bowl of soup. Tell us of him. VVell, replied Hergva, smiling broadly, he is a handsome lad and is doing great duties for the king. Nhfembrook hhgh School For the king? Great duties ? whispered the mother. Yes, assented Hergva, and he grinned sheepishly behind his big ladle of soup. And he talks of one named Cria. Of Cria ? questioned a voice from beside the fireplace. As he glanced toward the chimney, Cria stepped forth from its shadows. Oh, I forgot, said the mother, jumping up. This is Cria of whom you speak. Tell me more of my Hergvaf' insisted Cria excitedly. 'il thought he had forgotten. Cria watched Hergva closely as he talked and smiled. She noticed the very brown face and wondered. She looked at his brown hands and 21 the paler wrists and knew. Hergva glanced at Cria and found her eyes fixed on his wristsg then guiltily he drew down his sleeve and turned to the mother. I think that I shall be on my way. But I shall return and bring Hergvaf' said he, rising. After many good-byes Hergva left the village with a happy heart and when he came to the river Maas, which runs through the crooked pastures, he turned into the grove on the river bank and knelt on a rock at the edge of the stream. I shall return with Hergvaf' he cried. and un- aware of a maiden's seeing eyes, he washed away the acorn oil on his face and combed his hair. Then sitting on a high rock he laughed so loud that the echo rang back from the opposite bank.

Those representing the Sophomore class in the play, Believe It or Not, are Barbara Small, Marguerite I-Iunter, Leo VVaite, and Philip Leighton. There are also many boys who will furnish promising material for the baseball team. REMINISCENCES As I think back over my four years at West- brook High, instead of remembering such things as To be or not to be, et cetera, which I faith- fully memorized, or the conjugation of the French verb etre,,' which I burned night oil to study laboriously, I find myself recalling many other things. For example, there was the day when Mar- garet Knight first wore her hair done up. Thinking of coifiiures reminds me of the f'Ger- mani' hair cut which made Ronald jordan look like a prize fighter, Rudy Anderson like an African bnshman and Elliott Abbott like an es- caped convict. Abbott one day remarked in American History class that a girl sixteen years old touched the only soft spot in Andrew Iackson's heart. Although a tall newcomer from Augusta made many fem- inine hearts beat faster this fall, no one, to date, has as yet touched the soft spot tif there is onej. Merrill Luthe caused a great sensation when he appeared in a turtle neck sweater of heavenly blue. The Blue fr VVhite I shall never forget the day when Leo Feeney, then cheer leader, shouted, VVe'll cheer the girls' team first. Ladies before gents. Let's go, Coach jordan ! Speaking of basketball reminds me of the W'est- brook-South Portland game. The South Portland captain had his choice of baskets. The follow- ing dialogue took place: South Portland Captain: I'll take that basket Cpointingj. Honey fin an equally condescending man- ner and pompous tonej: Then I'll take that one! One of the greatest mysteries of our High School days not solved to date is: VVhere did Leslie Ross get his information about women ? He must be an authority on the subject for he told Miss VVhittier in French class that all women cried easily and over nothing. No wonder he was voted Class Heartbreaker! We have finally concluded that Robert Dou- cette is no hunter. Mrs. Vlrlight once said. To make rabbit pie, first catch the rabbit. To make plural possessives, first form the plural. By the looks of English examinations, we should judge that Bobby has not caught the rabbit as yet. Carl Hanson's future is assured. He should advertise for some chewing gum company. He deposited perfectly first class gum of excellent chewing quality in a wastebasket for Mrs. Wight, first periodg another cud for Miss Whittier, fourthg and a third for Miss Abbott, sixth-almost a whole package-and in this de- pression, too! As we were counting ballots in the laboratory, Francis lVest came in to get the returns. We told him that he had been voted Class Grouch, and was he! For a few minutes he walked around looking like a thundercloud. However, when he found out that the rumor of his election was false, he became himself again. One day Marie Robie wore moccasins to school. The next day about fifty pairs appeared. We don't need to get our styles from Paris--we all like Marie's style pretty well, eh girls?

She was wearing a new turtle neck sweater and in looking over a 1909 BLUE AND VVHITE, she discovered that all the football team wore them then. Al was com- pletely disillusioned. Agnes Pratt is very generous with hamburgers, especially if they are soaked in kerosene. Ask Ronald Jordan! King and Vifest will not make good crooks without a great deal of practice. They tried to play hookey one morning. For further informa- tion, go to Mr. Philbrook. VVe now have several male Campfire Girls in the class of '33, Fred Martin and Wilbur Foster have been initiated so far. as well as many under- classmen. It is easy to see who Honey Nelson's hero is. At Marshall's, during the time the Editorial Board was posing for a picture, I-loneyi' re- marked, How was it Napoleon-stood at VVater- loo P Babb retaliated that Honey would never stand up when he met Iris Vtlaterloo. VVe feel sure that although Leo Hebert plays in a jazz band he has great respect for everything The Blue fv VVhite old. To prove this, he read in French class from a story about an old Alsacien house, john looked with respect at the steps of the porch. Arthur Merrill was in the hospital for quite a serious operation but we cannot see that it changed him very much. He is still as good- natured and smiling as ever and he still apparent- ly enjoys spending his time before school talk- ing to Muriel in the hall. Even an honor pupil has childish traits. I wonder if Eddie Mayo ever had a doll or any pets? He did love Pete Cwho, by the way, is merely a pet spiderj. He built a house for him, constructed a road and furnished the house with a bed. Because the sheets were of gray paper in- stead of white, Pete deserted Eddie and sought a home in the ink well. Many other memories Hash into my mind, but as I have already used half an inch of pencil lead, I will now call it half a day and sign off with best wishes for the class of '33, who really aren't half as bad as this piece of literature might indicate.

Patrick, who is now State Director of Vocational Education. The first quarters were in Dana's warehouse until the pres- ent building was erected in 1912. The building and machinery were presented to the City ot llfestbrook by Miss Cornelia Warren. In 191-I the mill-room was established and in 1915 man- ual training was brought here from the Warren School. In 1925 Mr. Austin A. Alden succeeded Mr. Patrick. INDUSTRIAL EDIQCATION Industrial Education develops one's mind along mechanical lines. It is a necessity. No matter where you go you will find principles of mechanics in use. Even the ditch-digger soon learns how to handle a pick and shovel to the best advantage. In the Industrial Department the same principles of mechanics are taught. Wie ac- quire experience, as well as theoretical training. Although we do not become expert, we do learn the fundamentals. Office forces cannot be main- tained if the wheels of industry stop. GENERAL QUESTIONS AND ANSXVERS Q. 1. Vllhat is the purpose of this department? A. To teach industrial arts to young men who wish to cultivate their mechanical ability. Q. 2. Of what is the department composed? A. General XVoodworking. Machine Shop, and Pattern Shop. Q. XN'ho are our instructors? A. Mr. Austin Alden. Mr. Charles Boyce, and Mr. Joseph Given. Q. 4.

OUR MACHINES The machines in all three divisions are of vari- ous makes and have stood up well because of the care given to them. As it is impractical to list them, we will say that we have a shop as com- plete as any in our class and in many larger ones. The machines turned out have caused much com- ment. MACHINE SI-IOP This division is very important. Wfe wish to emphasize more clearly that visitors are welcome at any time. The first lesson taught the Sopho- more class is that speed is not necessaryg it is often detrimental to work: it is better to take plenty of time and do a job well than to do it hurriedly and ruin it.

Mr. Knowlton said, I have found indus- trial students do very good work and the only extra education needed was training in the use of the slide rule. PATTERN SHOP The members of this class make the patterns for castings used in the machine shop. They spend one day the first semester at .Tordan's foundry studying the process of melting and molding iron. They do excellent work. PROJECTS Our machinery is designed by Mr. Alden. The plans are drawn by the mechanical drawing stu- dents: the patterns are made by the pattern shop students: the machines are finished by the ma- chine shop boys. They include six bench saws equipped with ball bearings and using an 8-inch saw:-six planers equipped with ball bearings and having a planing capacity of 6 inches: twenty- four vises built on a swivel base: twenty-four lathes with all necessary equipment and many minor projects. All machines are tested before sold. STATEMENTS FROM LOCAL INDUS- TRIAL MEN These statements are freely given and with reference to experience. lVe heartily thank them for their support. In a manufacturing plant a large proportion of the employees are doing work of a manual nature. For this type of work, education which teaches a man to use his hands and to plan the work which his hands will do is the education which will be of the most assistance. Manual training was once defined as that training which develops the coordination of the hand, mind, and eye. Certainly the operator of a high speed ma- chine needs the utmost in coordination if he is to turn out safely a maximum of high grade prod- ucts. The most skilful will be the logical man to occupy the next step up the ladder when oppor- tunity comes. E. L. LINCOLN. During the past fifteen years we have em- ployed many graduates of the Industrial Course and we have always found that their school shop placed them far in advance of the apprentice who had not had that training. The mechanical drawing training received in the Industrial Course has enabled some of the boys to jump from the machine shop to the drafting room, and several of them are now com- petent machine designers on the par with grad- uates of higher technical schools. Vile thoroughly believe that the Industrial Course offers to the young man, not expecting to go to college, a training that enables him to ad- vance faster and further along industrial me- chanical lines than he could by taking a general academic course.

It won't cost you anything except the exertion of walking to our building. Also, as editor of this department and a member of the theatrical crew, I wish to thank the business men and citizens of Westlnrook for the cooperation extended me as electrician and also to thank them in behalf of the stage manager. Mr. Straw has also done very good work and deserves a large part of the credit for this edition. H. F. S., Ed'iz'0r. C.. S., Assistant.

How many of us listen to the grand opera on Saturday afternoon, to the Boston Symphony Orchestra on Saturday evening. or to the Sunday General Electric programs presenting for our delight the foremost artists of the coun- try? Instead, do we not tune in on another jazz orchestra when classical music is about to be broadcast? At school the students now have the wonder- ful opportunity of cultivating a taste for fine music.

Parmenter, and composed of three branches, the Music Appreciation Class, the Girls' Glee Club, and the Orchestra. Few of the students and parents realize that the Music Appreciation Class is for everybody. Pupils do not have to be able to play an instru- ment or to sing. All Miss Parmenter asks is enthusiasm and the desire to learn. This subject is elective with the pupil, so anyone who is inter- ested can join. In this class Miss-Parmenter plays a record such as In the Hall of the Mountain King by an orchestra. Then, in the perfectly fascinating notebooks designed especially for the class, the pupils fill in the blanks in the test over the record they have just heard. Here is the completed test over the above record. 1. This is 'the fourth number of the Peer Gynt Suite by Edward Grieg. a great composer of Norway. 2. The selection is in the minor mode. 3. The principal theme is heard eighteen times. 4. It is played by live different instruments. They are violin, Hute, oboe, big double bass. 5. The accompaniment is played by the bas- soon and it is rhythmic in style. 6. The piece is in two beat measure, and does not change throughout. 7. The selection begins with a lento tempo. Gradually it grows allegro. Westbrook High School E-1 i5a Bl U MUSIC APPRECIATION CLASS Front row Qleft to rightly-Evelyn Hansen. Eileen Webb, Etta Gallant Athena Quimby.

Imagine the thrill the pupils experience when they can follow the theme and recognize it when it recurs in a varied form with new embellishments which would make them Sound foreign to the untrained ear. just think of being able to distinguish the voices, the Strings, Woodwinds and lirasses when you hear an orchestra over the radio. The stu- dents in the Music Appreciation Class can do all these things. 52 One day as I was walking along the corridor, I heard some exquisite singing, and I thought, Goodness, can that be anything connected with the High School ? So, to satisfy my curiosity, I stopped in at Main Room to see what it was. I discovered that it was the Glee Club, singing a beautiful selection by Lemare. I was quite sur- prised and decided that I would find out what else they did in classes: so I asked Miss Par- menter about it later. She told me that in this club, which is selective by the teacher, the pupils study vocal culture and the rudiments of music, that they learn to transpose music from the bass clef to the treble clef. They also study the struc- ture of scales-major, minor, melodic, harmonic, and whole tone-and the classification of major a11d minor intervals. In addition to this general knowledge of the structure of music, they learn about the lives of the composers, which gives them better appreciation of the music itself. They sing delightful selections by such composers as Franz Liszt, Carl Deis, Dvorak, Mendelssohn, and the folksongs of many races. You can easily understand that an afternoon in this club is one of solid enjoyment. Third in the Music Department comes the orchestra. This is a fine organization because it The Blue G- VVhite keeps the students who cannot afford to study all the time interested in and in contact with music and musical circles. Here they improve their sight reading immenselyp they find a new inter- pretation different from their own which is per- haps a little colorless and dull. The discipline of subordinating their own instruments to the others is one phase of orchestra work which is very good for the players. The orchestra plays only the very best music, that of Liszt, Tschaikowsky, Brahms, Mozart. Haydn, Schubert, and Verdi, for the heavier work, and some light opera by Gilbert and Sulli- van for lighter and more entertaining work. Dur- ing the school year it plays for many assemblies and for the High School Play and Graduation. These are the means by which the young peo- ple can increase their knowledge of music. Those who have taken advantage of them can thrill to Beethoven's Fifth Symphony or Liebestraum by Liszt. They now realize what life would be without music and they can discriminate between the valuable and the worthless music. As a re- sult their lives have become broader, richer, and happier. M. C. K., '33, Home Economics Department VVl1en speaking of Home Economics today, one is covering many subjects other than cook- ing. A few of the branches of Cookery are Dietetics, Cooking Demonstration, Tea Room Management, and Home Cooking. Home Economics is by no means a frill but a true profession. It requires skill and art and is very strenuous work. There is much more chem- istry to be applied in this course than most peo- ple realize. Practical aesthetics and bacteriology are two major studies in this profession, the former being a study in the principles of color and design ap- plied both to wearing apparel and to the home, the latter being a study of bacteria and their ef- fect, especially as applied to food preservation. Our bodies are regulated by the food which we eat. The knowledge of the regarding of food stuffs necessary for health is comparatively lim- ited. Many are inclined to believe that human beings need only energy and heat for their bodies. A study of Home Economics teaches us that one must have a definite knowledge of foods for the benefit of his health. By having this, he knows that he can be properly, but at the same time in- expensively, fed. The training received in our Home Economics Department should be a great asset to any girl connected with it. Usually the girls are interested in their work, and take that interest and ability into their homes.

The Blue fr VVhite 54 A recent publication states facts concerning the value of Home Economics to the school and the community. The most important of these are: 1. Home Economics meets the needs of more people than any subject except English. 2. Home Economics gives a better understand- ing of the value of money and how to spend it more wisely. 3. Home Economics gives knowledge of buy- ing and consumption. 4. Home Economics helps girls to better meet the problems to come as a housewife, mother, and homemaker. 5. Homemakers have less training today than any other profession, yet homemaking is a real job in which more than eighty per cent of our men and women are engaged and requires train- ing. 6. Home Economics develops ability to choose ready-made clothing, to judge textiles, to con- struct suitable clothing, and to renovate gar- ments. 7. Home Economics gives more understanding of cost of food, economy in marketing, and nutrition needs of individuals. With these facts in mind, one realizes that the value of Home Economics as a profession should be recognized, and should be stressed as much as possible, because of its outstanding importance in the life of individuals. P. H. R., '33. Commercial Department Clitter, clatter, clitter, clatter. This was all that could be heard at twelve o'clock. for everyone who could was walking home to lunch enjoying the sweet-smelling, invigorating air of one of the most pleasing summer months, August. Among this group of business men and women was a young girl who seemed somewhat younger than the majority of the group. This particular individual proved to be Caroline Holmes, a re- cent graduate of VVestbrook High School. If one happened to be watching Caroline closely enough as she was briskly walking along the crowded street, one would immediately notice a look of sudden surprise come over her face. In order to find the cause of such a change in her expression it is necessary for us to listen in to what she has to say. In a rather low murmur she ponders in saying, 'lCan it be-what can she be doing here-that doesn't look like her but l'm going to speak, any- way. Hello, Sybil. Then in response, another girl of about the same age quickly turns and says, Hello-oh, hello there, Caroline. My goodness, what luck this is! I didn't expect to see you here. How long have you been making this your living quar- ters ? Oh, since graduation. I'm working in one of the offices down the line a little way. Meeting you today brings back those dear old memories of just two months ago, but if we are going into all that detail let's go to dinner together. So the two happy, youthful girls walked to a neat and appetizing restaurant and ordered what they Wanted. Then Caroline continued her pre- vious conversation. You don't know how glad Tlwas to see you today. I was so lonesome for the girls back home. Remember what good times we used to have studying over our lessons? You studying your Latin and French, and I, bookkeeping and short- hand. Yes, but your studying has amounted to some- thing. Mine doesn't amount to that, and she gave a snap of her finger. XVhy, Sybil. what do you mean? Aren't you going to college in September P No, I'm not, and hanging her head she hesi- tatingly said, You know-you know times aren't very good. Through some business dealings, father mortgaged the house, thinking he could pay it back later, but things happened so quickly-the crash and everything else-that now we are left with this debt staring us in the face. Westbrook High School ra 55 Yes, I know, replied Caroline, and I under- stand perfectly. I hope you'll pardon me for ever mentioning school. I would do something of the kind though and break up this happy meeting. That's all right, Caroline, explained Sybil, a little more cheerful to think that she had lifted a great burden off her shoulders. That's how you happened to see me here. I'm in search of work, anything that will help to fill the hole in my pocketbook a little. I guess I'm just about as good as a nail without a hammer when I go to apply for a position in some of the offices, and I've learned the following words by heart: 'I'm so sorry, hut unless you know typewriting, short- hand, and understand other husiness necessities, you are of no value to this companyf So, for the past two months you can see what I have been doing to pass the time away. I guess I wasn't made for this world. ' You're just plain down-hearted and that's what is making you say such things. I think I have a suggestion, though, that is going to be of aid to you. VVl1y don't you attend NK-'estbrook High School and take a post-graduate commer- cial course? lvell, look at this-our food just as we ordered it. Lucky I'm not hungry because I haven't time to eat it. Anyway, think it over, old kid, and let me know. They both bade each other farewell until some later time and Caroline went back to her office work. As soon as she arrived there, Miss Palm said in a slurry manner, ML Hall wants to see you in his office. By the way, aren't these office meetings getting rather close together ? This office girl held a position higher than Caro- line, hut was very inaccurate and heedless, which made the work for everyone else very diflicultg otherwise it would have been very pleasant and interesting. Caroline entered the office prepared to take a dictation. but her task proved. much to her sur- prise, to be of an altogether dififerent nature.

Your filing is so good that if anything arises that necessitates my looking up, I can easily find the information in half a second. Usually, it is the custom of an employer to show his appreciation to his employee by promotion or increased pay. In your case I am promoting you to take Miss Palm's position, because. as you have probably noticed, her work is not so accurate as it might be. Then Caroline thanked him to the best of her ability, and started out to her work. By the Way, Miss Holmes, do you remember Mr. Carr, who is a representative of the largest sugar refining company in the United States? He happened to notice your bookkeeping books and said he couldn't help but speak of their neatness and I informed him that they were not only neat, but accurate also. He left word that if you were ever in search of work that he would have a posi- tion waiting for you. This pleased Caroline so much that she wrote to her brother and told him that she was now get- ting enough money to help put him through an industrial school. A year later Caroline was pleased to receive a letter from Sybil in which she thanked her for her previous advice. By now she had become successful and had been able to save the old home- stead, and to provide her parents and herself with many luxuries that they had never had be- fore. E. R. S., '34, L. F. F., '33. Art Department TI-IE SPECTATOITS VISIT TO THE ART CLASS I am called The Spectator by all who are familiar with me and my strange wanderings. My travels and observations of mankind are in- deed fascinating as well as highly educational. Such explorations take me into every walk of life, where I am able to closely scrutinize thi- multiplicity of occupations that so shape man's destiny. It is for an unusually long period that I have been absorbed in education and all its vast field of important processes. Such an experience I am about to relate. which I know will be of novel delight to all interested in the things that make life an interesting experience. My curiosity having been much aroused. I de- cided straightway on a visit to the Art Class of W'estbrook High School. Unnoticed, I entered, taking a rather obscure seat at one corner of the room. It was not long, however, before some thirty-tive students entered, occupying themselves with class assignments while awaiting the arrival of the instructor. I observed that, as each student entered he car- ried a very artistically designed folio, which I later learned was original in design, being con- structed to hold all unfinished material. The color schemes and lettering were truly most interest- ingly planned. An industrious student close by was happily engaged in the completion of a gor- geous crayon wall hanging, depicting a quiet pas- toral scene in soft pastel values. In the room were samples of class work, including design motifs, posters, and examples of many useful home crafts. Presently Mr. Sterling, the director, entered and the lesson began. First, came a summariza- tion of the work studied in the past week. I was indeed thankful that I had brought along my sev- en-league boots for, at one stride we stepped backwards four thousand years to gaze upon the sombre grandeur of Egyptian architecture. IN-Ie watched in silence Cheops, supervising the build- ing of his massive pyramid. and saw long. huge granite blocks, the obelisks for the entrance to the pyramid, being Hoated down the Nile River on rafts. handled by thousands of slaves. Standing on the Acropolis like Greek gods, we found our- selves inspecting the beautiful Doric columns of the Parthenon in Athens. Wie saw also many of Westbrook High School -as 57 the ancient Greek painters at work on scenes of the Siege of Troy. WVe next in turn visited Rome, arriving there at the time of Augustus, in all his pomp and glory. We studied Roman architecture and thought it a decided Greek influence, for every- where were domes and beautiful arches. With another rapid stride of my seven-league boots we paid homage to the Gothic types of cul- ture. Here, we were surrounded by thousands of beautifully wrought cathedral spires pointing heavenward. At our departure we were fortunate enough to witness an ancient dispute of the popu- lace concerning the awarding of the commission for a thousand statues to adorn the spires of the world-famous Gothic Cathedral at Milan. Our last stride brought us to the lowlands amid acres of colorful tulips: and winding our way up the river Rhine, we silently entered the studio of the great Dutch master of portraiture. It was with great reverence that we looked on as Rembrandt completed the painting of his Man in the Golden Helmet. The years whizzed on, and again we were whirled back to our starting-point, where the Art Class at this time were busy engaged in rapid class sketching and silhouette-cutting from life. I cannot but say that I was much impressed by the accuracy, neatness, and talent displayed in their class work. At the end of an hour the class was dismissed, and I quietly slipped away, feel- ing that many worthwhile things were being EIC- complished by this group of enthusiastic art stu- dents under the leadership of Mr. Ansel B. Sterling. G. B. T., '36. Science Department THE HOUSE OF MAGIC As we recall the term Magic, we naturally think of its being something beyond human con- trol, or in the reahn of the supernatural. Many subjects may be associated with Magic, but the one nearest our own life is science. For what more is science than magic? It enables us to bring about unbelievable changes in the various fields of matter. In order to obtain a better understanding of the subject, let us first pretend that our High School is a House of Magic. VVe will go to the laboratory and roll up our sleeves. Then taking a few good pure metals, we will add a few drops of acid.-presto! the metals have disap- peared entirely. It seems unbelievable, but it is a simple trick of magic. Then again we may take a bottle of dirty, black water, and by boiling it, we shall obtain a vapor which can be condensed into a glass. Instead, however, of the same Filthy liquid we now have obtained a clean, pure water. Today, all of our various forms of oil necessary to everyday life are the result of a similar method of distillation. This process is also of great value to the scientist, for it enables him to separate pure from impure liquids in a very few moments. These strange experiments may seem useless to the average person, but to the scientist they mean easier methods in the path of progress. Some may ask, what good has the scientist done the world? Of course, this is a long story, but in a few words we might state that his life is one spent in self-sacrifice for the good of the world. Probably we do not appreciate the scientist as much as we should. for without him, this world would never have advanced from the middle ages. All of our great factories, inventions, and modern luxuries, and even the foods that we eat, are de- pendent upon science. Considering these few facts, we students of Vlfestbrook High School should be very grateful to our own House of Magic, which enables us to study methods by which civilization is progress- ing. L.

The Wfestbrook boys couldn't solve the pitching of Skillins, Deer- ing's southpaw, and the lack of control on the part of lVestbrook's pitching staff spelled defeat. Portland came to VVestbroolc, April '23rd, and Harlan Shane pitched a superior brand of ball, striking out ten of the opponents. The team hit well and had little difficulty in scoring 14 runs to Portland's six. Tetrault and VVright played fine games both offensively and defensively. On April 27th, South Portland came to lifest- brook and won rather handily. Vlfestbrook hit fairly well but seven costly errors and timely hits by the Capers gave them the ball game. Vliestbrook travelled to Thornton. April 30th. and were defeated in a close game, 13-11. 1Vrigbt and Rernier hit well for lVestbrook. Cheverus defeated Wlestbrook on May 7th at Warren League grounds. Jabber Joyce held Westbrook to seven hits and his team played errorless ball behind him. On the other hand, Cheverus found King for 11 hits and ten errors behind him were disastrous. The final score was 13--1. lvestbrook handily trimmed Gorham Normal School, 10-S, May 11th. Craft and Farr pitched well. On May 14th, VVestbrook defeated Sanford at the Vllarren League grounds, 8-3, and on the 18th again beat them 9-1. Henry Cote was the out- standing hitter in both games. The team played fine games and supported King and Shane in true fashion. Shane practically had things his own way, fanning sixteen and giving them only five hits. The Westlyroolc boys gathered a total of twenty-four hits to Sanford's eleven for the two games. Westbrook High School -1:1 63 Westbrook again beat Gorham Normal, 9-7, on May 20th. Raymond Cote hit a home run with three men on bases. VVestbrook got revenge over Deering for their previous defeat May 25th, the score being 10-5. Donald Wfright and Captain Robichaud played fine games, handling chances without an error and getting two hits each. Cheverus won a very close game from VVest- brook May 28th at Bayside Park. It was a pitch- ing duel between Shane and Joyceg the former fanned eleven men while Joyce fanned fourteen. Vilestbrook could only get two hits from Joyce for two runs and Cheverus got four hits for four runs. VVestbrook won easily from Thornton at Warren League grounds on june lst. The team gave King a great support and gathered fifteen hits. The final score was S-2. South Portland won over VVestbrook in a heart-breaking ball game, 6-5. Vifestbrook got eight hits of Kershaw and South Portland only got four of Shane and King. Shane hit a home run in the third inning. St. john of South Port- land hit one in the fifth with the bases loaded, thus winning the ball game. In the final game of the season Portland fell before the bats of the Westbrook sluggers. West- brook hit safely thirteen times and scored nine runs to Portland's seven. King was rather shaky but fine support by Captain Robichaud and Cote pulled him out of the tight spots. Bernier hit very well. Henry Cote and Donald VV right were selected on the All-Telegram team. Henry Cote was a runner-up for individual batting honors. Next year only Chaplin, VVright and Raymond Cote will be lost by graduation. Captain Robichaud will be lost by the age limit. 'Westbrook felt the loss of the four-year veteran, Virgil Hawkes, who sprained his ankle while playing early in the sea- son. Next year we should have the championship back in XfVestbrook. Let's all get behind the team and have it here. F. K., '33. FOOTBALL, 1932 When the call for football candidates was is- sued, Coach Fraser was confronted with a squad of boys not averaging over one hundred forty pounds, from which to mold a team. There were a number of lettermen but their experience had not been very great as most of them were substi- tutes the previous year. In the majority of their games throughout the season, the boys were out- classed and out-weighed, but we can say they were not out-fought. The first game was on September 24th, against Edward Little. The Eddies' quarterback took the opening kick-off and ran it back through the ap- parently sleeping Westbrook team for the only score. The VVestbrook boys came back and out- played them the rest of the game, but lacked the punch to score. Captain Jordan played a fine game against a big center who was later selected to the All-Maine team by two votes over jordan. The following week VVestbrook entertained a scrappy Morse team and ran roughshod over them for a score of 22-0. Captain jordan, along with Hunter, blocked kicks which resulted in two of W estbrook's touchdowns. Doucette intercepted a pass for lfVestbrook's other score. As a whole the team played fine football and took advantage of every break. If the boys had played the rest of their games with the same teamwork some of the scores might have been changed. On October Sth, Biddeford trimmed VVest- brook 28-6. For the first three periods our boys played fine football, but in the last period the opponents outclassed them and ran wild. iNest- brook scored after a series of first downs, fol- lowed by a pass from Robichaud to Nelson. Jack Harmon played a nice defensive game. VVestbrook entertained Rumford October 15th, and again lost. 12-O. 'Westbrook held the Rum- ford boys on the one-yard line four times during the game, before the greater power of the oppo- nents could score. The entire team played a won- derful defensive game and if they could have done as well on the offense it might have been another story. Rumford certainly earned its victory. 64 The Blue f-r VVhite On October 22nd, VVestbrook traveled to South Portland, where they were completely out- classed. The Caper lads met with difficulty the first period, but after that it was just another game and the score was 33-0. I October 29th was another feather in the crown of Thornton's Conference champions, as they rolled over IVestbrook,i 45-7. Wfestbrook entertained Sanford November 5th and were victorious, 6-0. Teamwork and a de- termination to win a game sent the boys ahead to a great victory. November 12th, NVestbrook entertained Deer- ing' on a sea of water and mud. The first of the game barely saw a first down and punts were frequent. Kilgore broke loose late in the second period and crossed the 'Westbrook goal line. In the last period a blocked kick paved the way for Deering's other score. Captain Jordan was selected on the All-Confer- ence team and was presented a gold football and letter in assembly. Others making their letters Were: Jack Harmon, Robichaud, Pauly Nelson, Pratt, Doucette, Merrill, Hunter, Bernier, VVest, Cote, Philip Nelson, Maye, Anderson, Joy, King, and Manager Babb. F. K., '33. OVERHEARD AT THE S. P. GAME A number of the Editorial Staff attending the South Portland game overheard the following conversation carried on by two flies. Hello, Mr. Fly, where have you been? Why havenit you been to the games instead of waiting until the last one is over? You have missed a lot by not attending practice and the games. I saw them all and how interesting. Oh, you didf' answered Mr. Fly. Please tell me about some of the players. VVho is that girl with the little blue bow in her hair P VVhy, that's Captain Beverly Browne, who has played forward for four years and has made niany points for the team. She made the All- Team her second year.

A large squad answered the call at the first practice, but it grad- ually grew smaller. Fraser had line veterans from last year's team and a few who had been on the squad. Class games were held, and the .Tuniors defeated the Seniors by one point for the title. The Varsity opened their schedule against a strong Alumni team, December 30th, and were defeated, 36-30. I During the season the boys beat Sanford twice and Biddeford once. Two games were lost to Thornton in heart-breaking contests by three and one points respectively. In the second game, poor foul shooting lost for XVestbrook. Two games were played with South Portland and Deering, but the boys couldn't seem to win. Capt. . Honey Nelson was the spark plug of the team. VVest and Cote played fine games at times. The second team should receive credit for line games. Those making letters were: Capt Nelson. Wlest.

One forenoon, as we entered this class, at the last period of the day, we found the room very cold, Miss Bartlett asked Bodge Cnow Peter Bodge, the radio Voice of the V iolin j to find the jan- itor, Mr. Doyle, for her. Peter went out. Time passed, but there was no Bodge-and no heat. Phillips went to find Bodge, but he failed to return also. Finally, Jom Stack was sent to trail the other two, but he, too, was seen no more. Just as the first bell rang, the rest of us, engaged in a dramatization of Peary lookiif for the North Pole, observed the three coming, leisurely and comfortably, along the sidewalk from Westbrook. When questioned, Bodge explained, suavely: I couldn't find Mr. Doyle. I COlllClI'l,l. either, said Phillips. 1 I found them, offered Stack. but they were both hungry hunting for the janitor, and so was I. 72 The Blue f-r VVhite The three had spent the entire period in lunching at the home of a nearby friend, while the rest of us froze in the classroom.

Anderson: Italian sandwichesfi CHAIR COMMITTEE Chair committee, do your stuff, Lug those chairs and don't be rough. 'Tis Ginger Fraser. the mighty man, He's calling to his faithful band. VVith a scrape of feet they leave their seats, And rush to the pile with footsteps Heet. Two chairs apiece and in single file They descend the stairs to the narrow aisle. A crash and a bang, a smothered hoot, An unfortunate man has tripped his boot. 'Tis jesse Smith. the last of all, I-lc's met his doom in this fatal fall. XVith a clatter and bang' the chairs come on And Dyer next a victim is born. VV alter Maye by them is struck And falls to the floor. a helpless mut. Daley next comes on the list. He falls on the stairs and breaks his wrist. The ranks diminish to only one. Ginger Fraser, the mighty one. He yells m anger and rallies his force. The company proceeds on its broken course. R. L. REVERIES OF A AFRESHNIAN I like very much to go to school And always try to obey each rule. But oh, dear me. those high school books Are enough to put me on tender hooks. Algebra is not so bad, Julius Caesar is rather sadg In English I manage to get by, Though I cause Mrs. Hatch many a sigh. Amo amas amat: ho hum, ln Latin why am I so dumb? D. L., '36. Westbrook High- School rf, 75 THE GRASSHOPPERS FROLIC Seated one day in a schoolroom, ' I was jumpy and ill at ease, Something on my shoulder was twitching, Sending shivers way down to my knees. ,lust a gay, adventuresome bug, thought I, Though what he was doing I couldn't descrie. Maybe 'twas the Charleston or an old-time rag, Perhaps just a two-step or Varsity Drag. His green little toes beat a light tattoo On my brown-specked shoulder-Oh, what to do? Perhaps he was soft and would easily squash, But my, what a mess-I'd soon be in Dutchl So I peeked 'neath my dress, saw a bug fierce and bold, His eyes were all shiny, steel-glinting and cold. He'd not had a nap, was suffering from colic, So I soon put an end to that grasshopper's frolic. M. K., '33. Now I am in school, Oh, what a dunee and stupid guy am I. Is it not monstrous that the mid-year's here, But in a moment, in a day of worry, Could force my rank so to the very depths That when I saw it all my courage waned? I worked in English, studied hard in French, I studied Latin and all other subjects VVith great expense of time. And all for nothing! For a DI What's a D to me, or me to a D, That I should try for one? What might I do Had I the motive and the cue for study I should have? I would drown the cards with A's And have the Faculty hear my brilliant speech, Drive mad the Juniors and appall the Sophs. There comes a time when the exams of men Make mad the guilty and appall the free. I know not the answers, I have only Vaulting ambition which o'erleaps itself and Hunks on the other. J. P., 32. There was a little girl named Louisa, And everyone liked to tease her. It was always a delight To see her take flight VV hen anyone tried to squeeze her. There once was a young freshman named Roy, VVho fancied himself a smart boy. He fell in the brook And was caught on a hook, Now what has become of young Roy? There once was a fellow named Craft. Who was stranded one night on a raft. He heard a weird sound, And on looking around, Saw 'twas only his Janet had laft flaughedj. There was a young man nicknamed Honey, It seems to me really quite funny. I-Ie's not half so shy As his name might imply When you see him alone with his Dotty. There is a young man named Ronnie, His countenance is very bonnyg He breaks many hearts Then scatters the parts, As blithely he carols, Hey, Nonniel There is a young man called Francis, el And say, he never has trancesg He tells about fairs And national scares, And discourses on nation's finances. There was a young lady named Al, W'ho was a regular pal. She'd wink her dark eyes And tell little White lies, The boys said, Gee! what a gal. There was a young lady named Cook, Who said, 'lBy hook or by crook, I'll win that man If ever I can, But he read her just like a book. There is a young lady named Pratt, She used to be just a bit fat, But since her new diet She never is quiet, And she's lost all the cute this and that. Elizabetlfs one of our teachers, 'We kids sometimes think she wears sneakersg She walks in the hall With so light a footfall, That we never know when she'll surprise us. There is a young girl named Janet, The highest of rank she did get. Her eyes they shine brightly, Her manner is sprightly, Her acting we'll never forget. There was once a student named Red, He could get nothing into his head, In vain teachers tried, But all Red could cry, Was, I'll join the navy instead. 76 An industrious student named VV est Was annoyed by a mischievous pest. He said, Oh, what a joy To run over that boy, And now he's under arrest. There was a young man named Deshaies. Who thought boys of his type were rare. While leading our cheers. He made many jeers, But he kept on cheering right there. I once knew a lady named Banks. VV ho fooled around gasoline tanksg One day in a spite, A match she did light. This ended the tale of Miss Banks. There was a teacher named Mathews, Who stood as straight as a statueg If you are not good, And act as you should, Miss Mathews is liable to thrash you. There was a young lady named Jane, Who rode horseback her health to maintaing She rode in the show, First prize. you know, This young lady from W'estbrook, Maine. A garrnlous person named VVest Had a habit of Hunking each testg When asked as to why, ' He made no reply, Except that he thought it was best. There is a small teacher named Vtfight, VVho studies far into the nightg Tho she's little and fair, With a cloud of brown hair, Her knowledge sure gives one a fright. There is a your' student named Joe, W'ho gives the girls quite a gog He's little and fair, With a mop of blonde hair, And the rest of his name is Gaudreau. Pupil: Bunyan wrote 'Pilgrim's Progress' He probably knew someone who did progress. Pupil: A precis is a short story. Pupil: The man fell into a case of scarlet fever. R. B. 'in Senior English : Grandmother b Brown has six children-all boys except one, who was a girl.

The peanut shells make a wonderful noise And provide the Freshmen with long-wanted toys. After supplies are all given out, I challenge my neighbor to a friendly bout But receive in return a mighty shout That almost drowns my words right out. Thinking Fraser in pain as he calls my name, I hasten down to his domain: But the patient is I. Si, Senor, Si Si, And you can guess what the rest would be. He opened his mouth with a snort and a snore, And out galloped words that were such a bo-re! That front seat community awaits your approvalg So park there awhile until further removal. And if you add any more to my cares There's a lonesome, hard seat at the head of the stairs. E. J., '33. VVHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF: Agnes gave away her smile? Ernest lost his schoolgirl complexion?
