A short while before, this site had been placid lake. Now, upon this strip, a shimmering dream city had risen. To all scientific minded individuals, to all lovers of fine arts and music, to all those interested in different phrases of industry, and to all those in- terested in amusements, this greatest of all Expo- sitions was indeed a veritable paradise. It seems to be the opinion of all that one of the most interesting build-ings was The Hall of Science. This huge structure, ultra modern in design, as were the others, contained a marvelous exhibit of all the basic sciences. Especially strik- ing was the hall when illuminated at night by the neon tubes, a comparatively recent invention, which were used as illumination for the entire Exposition. Another of the most striking structures on the immense Fairground was the Travel and Trans- port Building. Here were assembled the first trains, stagecoaches, covered wagons and other means of transportation of a century ago. In striking contrast were exhibited all the modern conveniences of travel and transportation. Electricity has played an exceedingly important part in the progress of the world during the past century, therefore the great Electrical Building stood out. Here were revealed Cto the watchful throngsj the secrets of countless electrical devices. Besides this, the entire neon tube lighting system of the Fair was in full display to all visitors. The other countries of the world by no means lacked representation. France, Italy, Mexico, Sweden, Czechoslovakia, China and japan, be- sides many others, had very interesting pavilions, temples, gardens, miniature villages and buildings of all descriptions. The Belgian village was par- ticularly quaint. These exhibits were of especial importance to the thousands of visitors in that they were maintained by a delegation of the na- tives of the countries represented. A section of the Exposition was also devoted to History. Here could be found an exact replica of the Marquette cabin and of Chicago's famous Fort Dearborn. Abraham Lincoln's birthplace, too, was reconstructed. All these striking buildings and displays com- bined typify a century of progress. The gigantic enterprise has succeeded in its purpose-to show the world the astounding advancement during the past century. H. G. L., JR. LABOR-UNREST The aspects of the decade, 1830-1840, were marked by the widening of the suffrage, the sub- stitution of elective offices, humanitarian reforms in workhouses, asylums and prisons, the multipli- cation of inventions, the frequency of mass meet- ings, conventions, and the organizations of tem- perance societies. Today, we have obtained these reforms, and many others that were far beyond the imagina- tions. One of our greatest problems is the equit- able distribution of the resulting wealth among all the people of the United States. With a removal of deposits in 1833 and refusal of the state banks to make loans came reduction of wages, and discontent among workingmen everywhere. Four eastern factories had dis- Westbrook High School 7 missed eleven hundred men In Philadelphia but eight building permits had been issued during 1834, as against six hundred for the same period in 1833. Strikes followed and people were forced to appear in public with their grievances. These were but typical instances of a general condition which bore bearing on the banks, the manufac- turers, the merchants, and the workingmen. Recently, history has repeated itself in like con- ditions. The chief causes of our depression were: our over-production of products, the World War, which got the countries in debt, and the hoarding of money. Between 1830-1840, they restored their busi- ness much the same as we are trying to do today. With shorter hours, and better pay for the work- ingman, industry went on with renewed energy. Today, we have many social and political or- ganizations that are working on our problems, but before the people a century ago could overcome their problems, those most affected had formed organizations. Trade unions were formed in the various cities. State and National meetings were held where the labor leader spoke and organized the workmen. Instead of depending upon the twelve million unemployed to save themselves, President Roose- velt and the National Government are trying to direct activities which will lead us out of this depression and prevent future ones. A. L., '35. A CENTURY OF PROGRESS IN AMERICA'S LAST FRONTIER A hunger not of the belly kind, that's banished with bacon and beans, But the gnawing hunger of lonely men, for home, and all that it means. --Service. Our American frontier was born in New Eng- land and the Thirteen Original Colonies. How- ever, it was not long before our hardy pioneering ancestors pushed, a bit fearfully at first, over the high mountain barriers into the fertile Mid-West. Finally, after much bitterness and bloodshed, the frontier line was pushed to the edge into the Pacific. For a while America lost sight of the frontier. Nobody can tell whether the frontier line was carried to the North on the waves of the Pacific or on the waves of Fate, but, at any rate, in 1864, she found her frontier in Alaska, the land of glamour and romance. During this last century, the Century of Prog- ress, the ancient mystical totem poles, which now grace the beautiful Sitka National Park, have looked stoically upon many changes. The great- est emblem of progress, the man-made birds, soar majestically through the stillness of the sub-arctic heavens, The first sight of a plane in the sky caused two Eskimo women to faint and to suffer Hhemorrhages of the eyes, nose and mouth l It is a sad fact that Uncle Sam has not done his full duty to his adopted territory. Perhaps he was awed by the vastness and the deep silence of the frozen tundras stretching away to the mysterious North. But more likely, with the customary igno- rance of the uninformed, he scorned and misin- terpreted her silence, spurned her offers of great wealth. Alaskans have had to fight, and fight hard, for every favor Uncle Sam has bestowed upon them. Indeed, in 1882, Americans who had settled in Alaska were nearly forced to appeal to the Russian Tsar for protection and civil rights. How this would have shamed our proud Uncle Sam! When Alaska was adopted by Uncle Sam she was puzzled at his aloofness, and she doesn't fully understand it yet. Why didn't he send to her a governor? Why didn't men come to reap her harvests, and build thriving cities in her beau- tiful harbors? Alaska feared lest she had dis- pleased her new uncle. Therefore, she decided to give him a gift, to please him. She gave him gold. Alaska can be gentle and soft and caressing, but she can also mete out swift punishment when men Alaska was surprised, don't follow her creeds. for she saw countless men, weak and unprepared, greedily snatching at the stretched hand. To these gift she held in out- men she refused her gift and dealt withthem ruthlessly. For only the brave, foresighted ones did she open up her I bbAA The Blue E-r White 8 seams and give gold. Alaska made no more friendly advances to her uncle, but withdrew within herself, dreaming alone of a day When men shall not rape my riches, and curse me and go away, for 4: as 11 It wk 4- Of cities leaping to stature, of fame like a flag unfurled, As I pour the tide of my riches in the eager lap of the world. Has not Alaska's dream, as Robert Service has written it, started to come true? Today Alaska can truly be called a white man's country. Today, after many years of darkness, open-minded Americans are seeing light regarding the value of our northern frontier. The Alaskan pioneers are sometimes spoken of as a new type of forty- niners, because they have hopes of becoming the forty-ninth state. ONE HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW Sitting in front of the fireplace one cold, stormy night, I imagined how the world would look to me a hundred years hence. I saw many curious and interesting changes. The thing that surprised me the most was the fact that as I walked through the city of Boston, I could find no theater. Wondering if people had lost interest in the pictures I called at one of the houses to find out. ' A charming Woman admitted me. When I en- tered the living room, I saw the family sitting around in a circle watching moving pictures on a curtain hanging on the wall. They told me that television had made possible many kinds of enter- tainment in one's own home. My hostess invited me to remain for the night. W'hen it came time to go to bed, she showed me to my room, which so far as I could see contained no bed. When she pressed a button the bed came out from the wall all made. I slipped under the covers and went to sleep. In the morning, I heard someone coming up- stairs. At a knock on my door I said, Come inf' I looked up to say Good Morning and there stood two mechanical men, one with water for me and the other with my breakfast which was hot and delicious. After I had eaten, I asked if I might bor- row an automobile. She looked at me and laughed as if I were asking if she had a horse and an- swered, No, I am up-to-date. We have two sets of wings which you fasten on your back so you can fly like a bird. I accepted them. I had fun flying over several states before dinner. I had to Hy high because there were many buildings as high as the Empire State building is now. It did not take long to do the dishes as there was an electric washing machine that washed and wiped them in five minutesg this enabled me to get an early start to do my afternoon shopping. Tak- ing an airplane I flew over to New York City and was back home again before supper was ready. Just as I was about to ask what kind of fruit they had on the table, the clock struck twelve and I woke up with a start and there I was in my armchair. and was I glad that I was living now instead of 2034. A. L., '34. PROGRESS? ? 'P It pleases me to hear Grannie say that she doesn't know what this generation is coming to. Grandmother is now eighty-five and looks back on her younger days and appears to be quite glad that she spent her youth in the nineteenth century instead of the twentieth. just what does Grannie say when she sees her modern granddaughter go to her room to dab a little powder here and there on her face, a little rouge to add that needed color f war paint as she calls itj ? But, ah, let's take a peek into Grannie's room when she was in her teens. Grannie was considered strikingly beautiful in her day. She wore her brown hair in side curls because her friends liked it that way. Her hazel eyes that beamed forth radiantly were shadowed by slender penciled brows and long thick lashes. We catch a glimpse of her sitting in front of her dresser. Clearly, it shows that she, too, believed Westbrook High School BLUE CHEVIOT SUITS fir GRADUATION IN THE NEW PREP MODELS Choice of one Blue and one White Flannel or two Blue Trousers f'- ' ' S 'N d'tb!hdvl889 519.50 525.00 ' ' N-I ' 0' WESTBROOK , Stationers and Book Sellers AGENTS - EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY fr th School Supplies O ed of Any Description Cifaduflfef LORING, SHORT as HARMON 3 compliments of Gompliments and 'f,Best Wishes PORTEOUS, MITCHELL Ea BRAUN OWENLKXQQEEDQMESZIPANY COMPANY ' Telephone 3-7221 In 'IEUE The Blue E-r White 'O in making the most of the physical gifts nature had bestowed upon her. Let's see just what she is doing now. She's taking out a sheet of heavy brown paper from a drawer in her bureau, the kind of paper that until twenty-five years ago butchers used to wrap packages. She tears the paper into small strips and wets it with vinegar, then places it on her temples to eradicate crow's feet about her eyes. Next, she takes a bottle of hand lotion from her drawer which she herself compounded of lard, rosewater, and cocoanut milk and applies it to her hands to make them smooth and beautiful. Has Grannie forgotten just how hard she tried to apply her daily beauty aids? Grannie was a real tom-boy. She used to wear large hoop-skirts with tight waists. You know how much they hinder. They didn't hinder Gran- nieg she just tucked them all in a large bundle and rolled and rolled and rolled down the great hill by the old fort. Ah, what fun she had! There's Grannie looking into our bedroom door while we are applying cosmetics, and we hear her gently say, Times aren't like they used to be, and then tiptoe softly away. L. M., '34. TODAY, UR ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO? Would you like to know how to make Dr, Fuller's Chemical Snuff for the Head-Ache, Palsy, and Drowsy Distempersv or perhaps Daffy's Elixern? Perchance Dr, Anderson's admirable improvement on the common mode of salting Butter would be of more interest to you. But, really, this is only a small portion of the latest Domestic Cookery, published nearly one hundred years ago, which contains everything from Soup Vermicellii' to A Haunch or Neck of Venison, or' the German Method of Clarify- ing and Preserving Fresh Butter to the making of Boluses for the Rheumatism and Contraction of the Joints. The other day I happened to come across an old cook book in our attic, and I found the book immensely amusing-and interesting. To read the titles of recipes and preparations one can readily see the attitudes of the day toward new things, such as Beautiful newly discovered Golden Yellow Dye, Curious Method of Breeding Gold and Silver Fish, Wonderful method of render- ing all sorts of Paper Fireproof, Curious and simple manner of keeping Apricots fresh all the year. They all suggest awe and wonder. Usually there was stated in the title that such and such a Queen had used the recipe or it came from this or that country. I imagine this was to induce the reader to try them. The frontispiece of this book is a picture of the Modern Domestic Cookery, in other words the modern kitchen of a century ago. This is the pic- ture. In the room there is a fireplace in which is suspended a huge iron kettle, and several other pots and pans are arranged on a grate above the roaring fire. Before the fireplace is alarge mov- able cupboard, in which the dishes are placed to dry. The walls of the room are covered with kitchen utensils of all shapes and kinds. The chinaware is perched on long rails against the wall, and from the ceiling hang braids of corn and long strings of apples to be dried. Thus, the modern kitchen. From the foreword of this book I quote: Fc- males should be early taught to prefer the society of their homes, to engage themselves in domestic duties, and to avoid every species of idle vanity, to which thousands of them owe their ruin. However, the Domestic Cookery proceeds to lay out the course which a proper young lady of the 19th century should follow. Now for some of the dainties which they used to enjoy. How does this sound: To dress a calf's head for Baking. After having well cleansed the head, parboil one-half, beat up the yolk of an egg, and rub it over the head with a featherg then strew over it a seasoning of pepper, salt, thyme, parsley chopped small, shredded lemon-peel, grated bread, and a little nutmegg stick bits of butter over it, and send it to the oven. I am still curious as to what part the feather plays in it. Westbrook High School ll There are recipes for Pickled Pork, Deli- cious Pig's Pettitoes, perfectly delightful dishes of Tongue,' to prepare, and very up-to-date recipes for the cooking of Pheasants, Snips, of Woodcocksf' - I gathered from the book that fish was very popular and Turtle was the food of the day. Concerning Turtle the recipe states: They are of various sizes, and that the reader may be informed how to dress them, we shall here confine ourselves to one of about eighty pounds' weight. It should be taken out of the water. the night before you intend to dress it. In the morning cut its throat, or the head off, and let it bleed for some time. Right here we will stop. This is only to show you their methods of torture one hundred years ago. I call it sheer murder. Enough for the cold-blooded side of the Do- mestic Cookery l I do not wish to leave with you the idea that it was all like that, for truly, those were the days of the most tempting and savory dishes ever concocted. Most of the foods were, in greater part, more savory and wholesome than those we eat today. The meat pies were es- pecially tasty and there never will be equals to those good old apple, mince, cherry, or berry pies that were so luscious. The cakes were enormous. Nearly all the meas- urements were in pounds, half-pounds, quarts or ounces. In the recipe for Sponge biscuits it reads, Beat the yolks of 12 eggs for half an hour, then put in a pound and a half of sugar beets. Cooks thought nothing of using eight to a dozen eggs in each cake. I could go on and on and tell you about the tarts, puffs, cheese cakes, custards, jellies, and The Art of computionaryf' The home institution of cooking is gradually passing away, with its whole- some foods. In its place have come rich, attrac- tive dishes, made by bakers who bring the food to sell at our door. We haven't the time to do heavy, extensive cooking today, whereas that was all the woman of a hundred years past had to do. Young men! When had you rather have existed, and you, young women, today or one hundred years ago? M. W., '34. AMUSEMENTS OF A CENTURY AGO A century ago, the many wonderful amuse- ments which we have today were unknown. But were our ancestors any the less happy because of this? Apparently not. Their pleasures were few and simple in comparison to our more sophisti- cated amusements. For instance, house-warmings were just as popular then as they are now, but they were con- ducted in a much simpler way. Friends, relatives, and neighbors gathered at the new home of the newly-wed couple and showered them with sub- stantial gifts. At these functions, it was custom- ary to dance far into the night, not returning home until the next day. A gathering of this sort in those days was a real event, and was en- joyed to the utmost. Nowadays, a housewarming is quite different. We don our best clothes, jump into an automobile, and carrying elaborate gifts surprise our newly-married friends. The next day, the newspaper informs us that bridge and dancing were enjoyed, and refreshments served by the hostess. Or again, with all the amusements that are now at our command. have we anything more lively than an old-fashioned barn dance? A century ago, coming on horseback from miles around. the neighbors gathered to dance to the tunes of the old-time fiddles in a barn whose rafters were hung with hay and cornstalks. Here, amid the lowing of cattle and the squeak of fiddles, our ancestors danced their jolly quadrilles. Nowadays, youth thinks it must have a per- fectly waxed Hoor, a well-lighted hall, and a smooth-toned orchestra to make a dance a success. Apparently we have progressed far in our meth- ods of giving a dance, but do we have any better time than our ancestors had at their barn dances? However, perhaps the most popular type of party enjoyed by our ancestors was the husking bee. In the fall of the year, friends and neighbors would again gather in the barn to husk off their neighbor's corn. At these affairs, both young and old took part. Competition was keen among the men to see who could husk the most ears of corn, and how they worked! ! While the husking was '2 going on, capable women were preparing quanti- ties of food to be served to the workers later on. Finally, the long tables were taken away, the barn fioor swept clean of husks, Hddles tuned up, and dancing was begun. Thus, a farmer gave his neighbors a good time and at the same time got his winter supply of corn husked. It must be admitted that we have outgrown the custom of helping our neighbors along these lines, and we are more apt to be found spending our evenings at the movies, listening to our radios, or playing contract bridge. But I am still wonder- ing if we are any happier than our ancestors were with their few but interesting amusements. H, G, L., JR., '34. BEARDS In the last one hundred years many sciences, and cultures, have developed tremendously, but I cannot say as much for mustaches in regard to either size, shape, or appearance. We are all well acquainted with the hairy matter covering the faces of the early pioneers. This long stubble was needed for protection against the elements-wind, rain, hail, sleet, snow, and sand. Probably they were too busy lighting Indians, erecting dwellings, and otherwise reaping a living from the land, to think much of shaving. Apparently they thought little of the styles prevailing on the coasts. There in the east was the villain with his mus- tache tapering to a point on each side of his lugu- briously scowling aws. The ends could be twisted and pulled as he sneered, Ah ha, my proud beauty. Then there was the old southern colonel, with his white head of hair, snowy mustache, and cream-colored goatee, which was no more or less than a diminished Indian scalp-lock growing in the wrong direction. All are undoubtedly acquainted with the mus- tachioed immigrant from sunny Italy. His beard was the result of years of hard labor at twisting, curling, waxing the otherwise unruly hair. The Italians were unexcelled in this art for the other The' Blue E-r White men had neither the patience nor the time to dress their faces thus. Those who did try to imitate succeeded only after having pulled the hair from their head, through their cranium, to the sheltered upper lips. Thus the origin of barren heads. Today the same art is being insulted relent- lessly. This is exhibited by the microscopic h 79 H 37 If growt s called Cookie crumbs, smudges, mis- placed eyebrows, and the like. They would not be noticeable if the owners did not color them with some dye or a lead pencil, making a contrast- ing shade. So grows the beards of the nation. In the future this period will be known as the golden age in regard to civilization but the dark age of mustaches.

ONE NIGHT NORTH - The short day ended peacefully and suddenly in the valley of the Yukon. Evening spread itself quietly over the vast snowy plain. The stars gleamed fiercely, seeming to shiver from the sharp cold wind that carried the snow across the plain in sheets. This was the first night that the storm had ceased to rage for a whole week-now winter had set in for good. Before another blizzard she must go with her dogs for a last visit to Malcolm and his mother, thought Neva. She left the warm fireside, her father and brothers, to journey in her sled across the plain. It was a perfect night to ride, that is, if one were dressed warmly. The dogs seemed to enjoy the cold as they ran, their barks ringing and their breaths hanging in the air behind them. Neva slowed the dogs as they neared the small cabin at the edge of the woods. She saw the door open at the sound of the dogs and Malcolm's mother appeared in the rays of the dim light from within. Hush, boys, hush, Neva yelled at the top of young girl knelt by it, took off her long mittens, and threw her thick fur cap and heavy cloak in the corner. It's been a long time since we've seen ye, girl, spoke Mother Dane after a time. But then ther be a good excuse fer ye. Yes. and how've yer been, Mother Dane? asked Neva. We've managed to keep a livin', but this snow has nigh buried us. Malcolm has been home all the week and we two hain't seen a soul, not ev'n a sign of one. The woman went to the back door to listen. Malcolm, be ye ever comin' in agi'? There was no reply, so she shut the door and came and seated herself near the fire. across from Neva. The dogs be still a barkin', but he'll be in. Both sat quietly for some time, then the stamp- ing of feet broke the silence, and the back door opened. Malcolm F called Mother Dane. Yeah, came the short answer. her voice. Why are yer so quiet F' she asked. Hi, Mother Dane, yer havin' comp'ny this eve- There was no answer so she went to help him nin'. brush the snow from his clothes. It's ye, eh Neva ? called Malcolm's mother. My son an' I won't be a mindin' to havin' a little comp'ny this evenin'. Git yerself in here. Mal- colm'll take care o' yer dogs. Neva stamped the snow from her boots and en- tered the cabin. The room inside was warm and glowed red from the fire in the fireplace. The Go in and speak to Neva. What be there ailin' yer, son P Mother Dane asked him. Malcolm paid no heed to her questions, but quietly hung his fur cap and jacket behind the door and walked into the room where Neva was warming herself. She looked up at the sound of his footsteps. Hi, Malcolm. How yer been F '6 Hi, Neva. This be a pretty hard night fer a woman to be out. Neva stared into the fire. Yeah, 'tis cold, but I had to make one more trip before the worst comes. The two were silent. They heard Mother Dane working about in the little, cold room which served as a kitchen. They heard the fire roar in the little stove and the water boil loudly in the great iron kettle on top of the stove. Neva looked at Malcolm. He was thinking. She wondered why he was so still and what he could think about to cause this silence. Ere yer ailin', Malcolm, or what's gone wrong P she inquired. He shook his head. Yer lookin' well, and pretty as ever, he added in a lower voice as he looked into her sweet face as she gazed at him inquiringly. Neva's cheeks turned a deep red in the glow of the fire. She did not smile as he con- tinued to look at her, as she might have weeks ago. I can't understan' yer, she said at length. Yer know it's lonely here, just me and Maw. Yeah, I know, Malcolm. Neva seemed to sympathize. It's lonely down our way this time of year, too. No, yer don't know, yer don't know what I mean, Neva. I know when it's lonely, yer donlt have ter explain, she rebuked him sharply. It's always lonesome up here when the cold sets in and the snow falls and falls, and no one ever comes or goes. Seems as though you'd go crazy sometimes, don't it ? Hut, Neva, it's different with me. ' You're no worse off'n anyone elsef' she turned to him with an indignant stare. Malcolm clenched his fists. Yer think I'm not, eh? Well, never worry yerself about it. How be yer father and yer brothers ? Oh, they been on a trip up the river. Came home last week. They brought a new doctor up with them. I hain't seen 'im ,cause he went on up the river a few miles to old Hanold's to stay. Kinda far up, ain't it F I iiiiil The Blue fr White Yeah, and he might's well not a come, 'cause he won't be needed. Malcolm resumed his glum attitude and the two sat staring into the fire for nearly a half hour. Mother Dane could be heard, still busy in the kitchen. Not hearing the voices in the next room she came to the door and looked 111. I'll be with ye when I'm finished in my work, she said, and she turned and went to the stove. Malcolm and Neva turned quickly when they heard the great iron kettle fall to the Hoor and the boiling water splash. Mother Dane's screams filled the little cabin and, running to the kitchen, they found her lying on the floor, senseless, her clothes, face, arms, and hair dripping 'with the steaming water. Malcolm was stunned. He bent down and lifted her by the shoulders. Maw, Maw . . . , his voice left him and tears rolled one by one down his cheeks. Neva, she's dead. Neva appeared in the kitchen, her fur cap pulled down over her ears. fur coat buttoned high. I'll be back, Malcolm, she said and hurried to the back door. Malcolm ran to the door and shut it before Neva could step out. He was sob- bing with grief and the thought of Neva's leaving him now nearly made him crazy. Yer can't leave me now, Neva, yer can't . . . . Hush, Malcolm Dane, yer as 'spineless a man as ever I did see in these parts. May the woman ye get be pitied. I'm a goin' fer thet new doctor. You stay here with yer Maw, and she was gone. The dogs barked wildly as Neva lashed them with the whip. They ran faster and faster as the snow had begun to fall lightly. Soon the blizzard would come, blowing from the icy mountains in the north. She must get there and bring the doc- tor back. And she did. Hands and feet nearly frozen, her clothes and hair matted and moist from perspiration under the furs, she arrived with the doctor at the Dane's shanty two hours later. She threw herself upon the floor in front of the fireplace, exhausted to the point of pain. Later she turned and looked up to hnd Malcolm stand- ing beside her. Neva smiled. Yer Maw hain't a goin' ter die, she panted deeply. Westbrook High School No, said Malcolm. Malcolm said no more but turned toward the kitchen. Neva had now become lulled by the warmth of the fire and she soon fell asleep, on the floor, her ruflied hair buried in her arms. She lay so listlessly that it seemed she was never to rise again. Her sleep was deep and she moaned and her lips moved as she breathed. In the meantime Mother Dane had been treated by the doctor and had been moved quietly to a little wooden bed near the fireplace. The old woman watched with tears in her eyes, the young girl so sweet and so brave, lying near the bed. Malcolm came and knelt by his mother and he followed her gaze to Neva. She's brave, Maw. She's beautiful . . . and I love her, he whispered to his mother. Tell that to her, Malcolm. I don't need you tellin' me. I've known it for a long time. Mother Dane smiled tenderly. There was a quiet pause. Then Neva suddenly sat upright, her hands covering her eyes. Father l she exclaimed, breathlessly. Father, where's Malcolm? . . . Who shot him? . . . Get the new doctor! . . . Oh, Mother Dane, what'll I do ? her voice trailed into silence. The room was very quiet. Malcolm got up slowly and went to her, taking her hands in his. 'Tm here, Neva! I'm all right! You've been a dreaming. Her eyes wandered, seeing nothing. Gone, my Malcolm, was her only remark and she heaved a heavy sigh. She turned her eyes toward the fire- place and suddenly recognized it. Slowly, her thoughts collected. Neva, I'm here with you an' I'm going to stay. Malcolm grasped her shoulders and shook her gently. Once again she sensed Malcolm's voice and she turned to him with loving eyes. Oh . . . I'm awful glad . . . Malcolm. M. W., '34. I7 GIERMUND Giermund, the worn, the sage and ancient, Leaned on crooked staff and harkened To the wanton trill of a robin, drifting, A wisp of song, from a pine into the cool, blue air. In the haze of the early morn he saw The naked grey mountains and the pale Red sun, struggling in its ascent above The slumb'ring hayfields and the golden-tinged lowlands. The last, cold, wet stars had long Glimmered and withdrawn to rest when The harsh cry of the heron in the steaming Marsh wavered, dying into the silence, softly. The glitter of the last, dying patches Of snow that hid themselves in the woods, Sparkled, and the cold, fresh smell Of spring landscape rose about him. Giermund put aged hands to dry lips And whistled, clearly, piercingly, so that The robin harkened and answered, Tricked by the crooked old man of the woods and nature. While the river rushed, brown, into the Wide pool, rippled and patterned with Waves of current and wind, the first Serving wench busied herself with Milk pans and disappeared into the grey barn. The restless pines, moving rhythmically, Were beset by the weary east wind, That sloughed off thru their ragged tops. And Giermund, child of nature, was Thankful, and reveled in the Spring, loved the least trickle of water Over the hardy moss of the Cliffside, and Exulted in the sharp bite of the air, Laden with frost. E. M. P. G. T THE SWELL HEAD Anyone who has walked across a college cam- pus in the early part of September knows what johnny Richards was like when he came back in the fall of his senior year, shouting greetings from the taxicab that carried him from the sta- tion, running up the steps of the Delta house and tossing two suitcases into the hall by way of tell- ing of his arrival. He wasn't a star football player, but he had played two years on the varsity: he wasn't presi- dent of his class, or even vice-president, but when serious problems came up, they always called on johnny to see what he thought about them. The Blue E-r White 18 Harry Jones was Johnny's roommate. He was also captain of the football teamg he was one of the most famous men in college. After greeting each other with back-slapping and hand-shaking, Johnny asked, How does the team look ? f'Not bad,'l replied Jones. Mortley isn't re- turning, but we got a pretty fair bunch of linemen from last year's freshmen. Albert is down in his studies and cannot play. The coach is figuring on shifting one of the second-string backs to take his place at end, but we'll have to dig up a drop- kicker some place. You used to do some of that at St. Luke's, didn't you ? . Jones talked on about football. It was his team. johnny was just a take-out back: the spearhead of the interference. He cleared the way for jones to make long runs around the opposing flanks, he helped to open holes in the line, protected the quarterback when he faded back to throw long passes. He was always near the man who got the glory, but never was the man. Only the coach knew how important johnny was in the machine. ,Iohnny even thought himself lucky to be part of the team. johnny reported for practice the next after- noon. Sorry you had to miss the early workout,', said the coach. 6'They mean a lot. Take it easy for a while and get limbered up. I want you to brush up on your drop-kicking. Jones told me you used to do some at prep school. VV e lost Kelly, you know, and we'll need those extra points after touchdown. On Friday, after a short practice, the coach called the starting team together and said, I Want you all to get a good night's rest, because the game with the Army is going to be a tough one. Up to that game. the season had been like other seasons to Johnny. He had cleared the way for his running mates to score touchdowns and gallop to glory. Making the point after touchdown had been added to .Iohnny's duties, a little change in the game for him. The Army had a rugged defense and it was difficult to gain ground through their line. Two or three times the team was in scoring position in the first half, but each time it was turned back. In the last half of the game, Johnny was called on for a field goal. Before the game ended, he had kicked live between the upright goal posts. Those were the only scores made during the game. The next day his name was in the head lines of the Sunday papers: Richards Kicking Sensation of Army Gameg Richards Kicks Five Field Goals l and below the heading in the first paper: Richards, just the fourth member of the fa- mous backfield, came to himself yesterday, cut- ting loose with the greatest exhibition of drop- kicking ever seen upon a gridiron. The next afternoon the Held was covered with photographers, taking pictures of johnny kicking. As a result of this Johnny became self-con- scious. When he crossed the campus, he carried himself a little more erect. He talked more than usual and found a great deal to talk about. He ordered freshmen about, and began cutting classes regularly. That Wednesday the coach began criticizing him about not taking the end out. Then again the coach said he was loafing. Then McKlusky put another man in his place and sent johnny to the showers. The next week it was worse. The coach was raving about Iohnny's not getting his man. You are just going through the motions. Johnny got sour and useless after McKlusky said that about him. At last McKlusky in des- peration went to -Iohnny's roommate and asked, Can't you Find out what's got into him? We've got to do something. That night in their room, .lones said, The coach seems to think you're gumming the works in the backfieldf' There's nothing the matter with me, johnny replied. Well, somethingis wrong somewhere, Jones continued. Now on those sweeps. for instance, I can't seem to get loose. The end gets in on me before I'm started. He's your man, johnny. Sure, he's my man! Johnny said roughly. And I'll get him out of there when it means anything. But what's the use of taking chances of getting hurt against the scrubs ? -up 19 Westbrook High School g l A... huu' i N110 llQllVllHl EASTIIEIIQN lU N ll W IIE IQ S lll lllf NY 273 O 7' -1 VZ 'Sf swf A ' 0 1.

SCHLAGENHAUF, Director of Admissions BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS E - ' The Blue E-f White 20 The story jones told McKlusky was not quite word for word but the coach got the idea. Why, the little swell-headed pupl' he raved, pacing the lioor with his lists jammed into his pockets. He gets a taste of fame, and he thinks he is a sensation. Damn the newspapers! They've just ruined the best interference back I ever had l Oh, he'll be all right. jones consoled. He,ll be all right when the pinch comes. But he wasn't all right. He was replaced by a scrub in the first quarter of the Princeton game and never returned to the line-up. In the next two games he didn't play at all. He just sat on the sidelines and sulked. He thought the coach was not giving him a square deal. Sooner or later he would get his chance, he thought. The team wasn't going so good without him, that was cer- tain. They had lost two games already, both by the margin of a point after touchdown. They would realize he was needed, and when they did, he'd show iem. When the reporters inquired why johnny wasn't playing, the coach told them that he had water on the knee. The last and biggest game of the year was the game with State. Johnny hadn't had his chance yet. Friday night there was a big bonfire on the campus. All the students gathered around and sang the school song while the band played. Then they cheered each member of the starting team. As the students marched away they were shout- ing: Beat State! Beat Stateli' The day for the final game was a cool Novem- ber day, with a large crowd gathering to see the final duel. During the first quarter neither team could score, and between halves the coach paced up and down, threatening his players. In the fourth quar- ter jones broke loose for a twenty-yard gain. A pass was good for twenty more yards, placing them in scoring position. Richards l johnny jumped to his feet at the sound of his name. f'Get ready to go in there.', Johnny jumped over beside the coach. If they don't make a first down, you're going in and drop-kick. They failed to make the down. johnny went in for kick formation. He glanced up at the State team, ready with outstretched arms to block his kick. He was wondering if he could get it away before they could 'reach him. The ball came back to him. He could see State's line charging through. Instead of kicking he faded back and tossed a pass to jones, who twisted his way through for a touchdown. He then trotted off the field. The stands were still cheering wildly as he reached the sidelines, but not for him. The only praise johnny got was from Mc- Klusky. That's using your head, he said, They would have blocked a kick. R.

HOW WE LOVE IT How we sigh With relief When the winter has gone, When, once again, We can smell the sweet earth That is muddy and brown And see the water running all day Down the gutter, And the tiny springs Ooze up from the ground. How we hush And listen To the first trill of the frog That comes from the pond Filled with purple iris And tall, green cat-tails Swaying in the fresh, sweet breeze That seems like the breath Of the rising moon. How we laugh With joy And tiptoe to see The very first robin When he sings in the tree! And the buds, all green, Grow and burst in the sun, While the crocuses, in frocks Of the brightest colors, Seem strewn in the path Of spring. M W . ., '34, Westbrook High School ' 'A 1 A 1: 21 ANNALCO The hot sun beat down upon the peaceful little village of Annalco. It was mid-afternoon, not a breath of air was stirring. The intense heat was nearly suffocating and no living thing could be Everything seemed to be oppressed by an heard. ominous silence. The heavy straw-matted shades were drawn at all the windows of the low. strongly built plantation houses. It would seem, to a casual passerby, to be deserted, so still was the place. On two of the small haciendas that nestled on the side of a slope in the lee of the steep moun- tain, side-by-side, lived ,luan Marco and Pedro Blanco. life-long friends and neighbors. Both were sturdy, hard-working Spaniards, who had prospered well, too well perhaps, and the long barns were filled with livestock and fodder. On this day, however, neither appeared on his broad, screened-in veranda for a smoke and a chat as was their custom. The heat must have kept them inside the cool, dimly-lighted rooms of the hacienda. As the afternoon waned the sky darkened much more quickly than usual, casting strange, sinister shadows in the narrow street. Because of the pe- culiarity of these conditions, many people came to their doors and windows and looked out, gazing curiously at the sky. It was not long, however, be- fore their curiosity turned to desperate horror and apprehension. Within ten minutes, confusion reigned in the little village, which but a few moments before had been so still. Women ran shrieking into the streets, children cried out in terror and bewilder- ment, while men and boys ran through their homes, attempting to gather together all that they could of their most precious belongings. VVord spread rapidly through the village and within a short time, lumbering ox-carts and teams were loaded to their utmost. Other possessions were strapped on the backs of burros and horses. Finally, a long, slow procession trailed sorrow- fully out of the village, leaving behind only that which could not be taken away. After the little party had traveled wearily for many hours they made camp as best they could in a sheltered grove far from the dangerous spot. That night, after the women and children had retired, the men sat around the huge fire discussing the possibilities of regaining some of their most valuable possessions which they had been forced to leave behind. After much consideration they decided not to attempt to return to the fateful spot. juan Marco and Pedro Blanco were the only two who disagreed with the others. Although they admitted the danger of the trip, they resolved to attempt it early the next morning. They were brave men-these two. Early the next day a messenger brought in a report that the danger had not yet reached Annal- co but was rapidly advancing from a distance of about two miles. The men had a fighting chance. juan and Pedro left on their sturdy horses amidst much excitement. They rode like the wind and finally reached a point, about a half mile from the village, then paused on a high peak overlooking it. Here they could see for miles around. What a ghastly sight met their eyes! Far ahead the steaming black sea of lava rolled stead- ily on towards the village! The air surrounding them was already filled with the choking black dust. Both gave one last look back toward the sure freedom they knew was theirs if they chose it. Neither hesitated, however, for these men had a stubborn pride that even death could not daunt. They had started out to regain their possessions, and this they were going to do. As Juan and Pedro looked grimly upon the destruction already wrought and the swiftly moving mass of boiling fury, doubt filled their hearts and with it a prayer for their safety. The only sound besides the pounding hoof-beats was a terrifying rumbling and hissing noise as the intense heat of that awful black lava poured on the rocks and over the pure freshness of the green fields and trees. leaving behind it only the still decollation of that terrible curse, the volcano. As Pedro and juan reached the outskirts of the village they met small herds of cattle that had broken loose, stampeding frantically away from the increasing heat. The two men looked anxious- ly around them. I hope we're not too late, Juan remarked soberly. I .'. The Blue E-r VVhite 22 No, I think we shall save most of them in time, responded Pedro, pretending to have mis- construed juan's meaning. VVhen they came to the two haciendas they separated, each going to his own corral. They threw open the doors and began hurriedly driving forth what was left of the bewildered cattle. Steadily on came the torturing blistering heat, nearer and nearer, hotter and hotter. lust as the last steer was leaving Pedro's corral the maddening rush of molten lava reached the end of the village. Both glanced up quickly, unaware in their excitement of the nearness of it. Good God, gasped Pedro, the lava-it is upon us-we are too late l-Do you hear me F'- Too late! His last words were drowned out by the thundering noise of the onrushing lava. Three days later all was silent once more and the hot sun shone down on the desolate waste, where but a few days before lay the peaceful security of Annalco. J. P., '35, HOME I'll build a tiny cottage Upon a high hilltop, A cottage on the pathway Where oft a stranger stops, A cottage with tiny windows And the doorway open wide, Where, when the cold north wind blows, Makes welcome friends inside, A cottage with a winding path, With trees and flowers lined. Where oft a stranger in the dark The cottage pathway finds. Some day a grey-eyed traveller Will happen up the path And make the little cottage A cheerful home, perhaps. J. L., '34, HOW I FELT ON MY FIRST SOLO FLIGHT For the past two seasons I have been working at the Portland Airport with the hope of some day being able to fly a plane alone. The first sum- mer I worked for pay with which I bought my student's permit and an old motorcycle which I used for transportation this past summer. Last summer I received flying instructions in return for my work. After two and three-quarters hours of instructions I was given permission to solo. The sensation I experienced on this first solo flight was quite different from what one reads about. I have read and I have been told that when a student looks at the instructor's empty cockpit, he realizes that he is entirely dependent upon him- self, which, of course, does not steady his nerves. I have also been told that one becomes tense and is likely to forget, at the critical moment, that which he has been taught. I have often been asked if I hesitated when I was given permission to fly alone, but as a matter of fact, it was the instructor who did the hesitating. What the instructor thought of my flying can be judged by the fact that he asked me to please wait until he got under cover before I attempted a solo. Cnce in the air I felt a great difference from former flights with my instructor. I did not feel panic stricken or anything like that, for through- out the entire flight my mind was occupied with the thought of how lucky I was to have at last accomplished my great ambition. The change which I did notice was the great difference in the way in which the ship performed. The plane climbed just about twice as fast and handled with much greater ease. After reading of the experiences of the stu- dents in regard to getting permission to solo, I judge that the attitude taken by mv instructor and myself is somewhat contrary to that of others. This is what Richard K. ,lames C a student pilotj wrote in his diary in connection with his first solo: Sunday, November second: I practiced take-offs and landings a while with Solly Chis regular in- structorj making corrections, and scolding all the time about 'Pull the stick back the instant the wheels touchl' Finally I made a correct landing. He said, 'There, that's all I wanted to see, I'll have Husky Canother instructorj check you out.' 'Husky' and I took off. I made three take-offs and landings: then 'Husky' climbed out and said, 'You're O. K., go ahead l' I said, 'What do you mean? Solo ?' He said. 'Yes.'

I circled the field in a wide circle to the left and I was thinking, 'Well, Ol' man, you're up here alone, you just gotta put 'er back down there.' I made a fair landing, and when the wheels stopped rolling, I just sat there and said aloud to myself, 'All alone! I did it all alone! Wheel' Perhaps the reason for the contrast in our ex- periences is due to the factthat I might have been a little overconfident. T. V., '35. THE MYSTERY HOUSE On a small country road in the town of Gor- ham, there is a house that is very noticeable. It was built by Henry Wadsworth. Longfellow's grandfather so the street on which it is located was called Longfellow Street. The house itself is a big, square, two-storied There are two tall, stately elms which seem to stand guard over this mansion. The house itself is a big, square, two-storied house with many windows. The front entrance is beautifully designed with artistic work which is characteristic of these old-fashioned buildings. One thing which especially held my eye was a big square chimney protruding from the middle part of the house. I often questioned the purpose of that square chimney, until one day I went to investigate. Since the house was not then occupied I went out back and crawled through a window which I found unlocked. The rooms were big and airy, although now very cobwebby and dusty. From one of the rooms a long winding staircase led up- stairs. All this I took in at a glance for I was interested in that chimney which I had seen from the outside. I finally found that it came down through a small dark room in the center of the house which, from its appearance, I deduced was formerly used for some kind of larder or store- room. The huge chimney occupied the middle of the small room while around it were shelves and cup- boards for storing food. After examining the chimney for a while, I noticed a small ray of light coming from between the bricks. So I took a small metal bar which I found and inserting it between the bricks, I tried to open it. At first it did not budge, then, all of a sudden, I felt it slowly opening upg I pried harder and a small door about three feet long and two feet wide opened, admitting a faint ray of daylight. What had seemed to be solid bricks on the out- side was simply a small door covered with a thin layer of brickwork. I crawled through the opening and looked up to see small steps about eight inches wide leading to the top of the chimney. I then climbed to the top where there was a small platform on which four men could easily stand. On looking out I found that I commanded a complete View of everything surrounding me. Although I have never found out for sure what this hiding place was used for, I surmised that it was a secret place to hide and defend the building in case of Indian attacks. R. T., '36. THE MOUNTAINS As I gaze at your mountains in the distance, I have a feeling I cannot explain, As a steel is drawn to a magnet, Reluctant to release again. You hold me unbelievingly bewitchedg Memories, illusions and hopes Seem to rise from I know not where And rest on your rustic slopes. But lo, when the spell is broken, I'm tackled with heartache and pain, I long to remain in your shadows, Vfhere peace and quietness reign. L. P., TH. THE YOUNGEST OF THIS YOUNGER GENERATION Very often most of us have heard mothers, aunts, grandmothers and occasionally the older male members of our family and friends remark, Oh, this younger generation V' We usually laugh Westbrook High School 25 when we hear it, but lately I have thought with a little pity, Oh, the youngest of this younger generation ! I Of course, since I am next to the oldest in a large family, I have a chance to see and study the youngsters of today, and I do think I understand them. Some people wish that they were children again, but as I study my little sisters and their friends I do not envy the children, I pity them. Why, the poor kiddies don't even know how to play! They think all school is for is to annoy the unfortunate teacherg they don't believe in Santa Claus, and they think that dolls and trains, unless they are very, very elaborate ones, are an awful bore. As I compare their life with the good times my sister, brother, and I used to have with our friends, I wonder how the poor dears can even laugh. I don't pat myself on the backu and say that, of course, I was a model child, because I can remember several punishments 5 and yet I do not think that these children are horrid. They are like all the other boys and girls of their age that I have ever met, so, instead of pitying just my sisters, I am sorry for all the youngest of this younger generation. When I was a small child, my sister and I played dolls for hours at a time. Our dolls weren't big and didn't have natural hair and open and shut eyes: neither were they the adorable baby dolls which are seen in the stores today. Yet we loved our dolls, sewed for them, fed them, and each night we carefully put them to bed. Do little girls of today do that? They certainly do not! They cry and fuss if they haven't dolls, still when they have some, the poor toys are usually found in a corner or a drawer. When we played house, my brother was store keeper, ice man, mail man, and coal man combined. If we weren't playing like that, we were sliding, climbing trees, or play- ing some childish game. Do the boys of today play like that? Why, they'd laugh in scorn at the very idea. They like to think they are rough. They model their hero after the gangster of the moving picture instead of the kindly men of their acquaintance. They either smoke or they make believe they do, they pretend they are drinking, and they are quite rude. Poor children, they think they are having such a good time in this silly mockery. They are so old in their ways for the number of their years that I dread to think of the time when they are really old or even middle-aged. At Christmas time we always hung our stock- ings and went to bed all excited over whether or not Santa Claus would come, and, if he did, what he'd leave us. We always declared we wouldn't go to sleep, but our heads had no sooner touched our pillows than we were dreaming. In the morn- ing we aroused the whole family and had our Christmas stockings, and after a scarcely-touched breakfast we rushed to our tree. Today the chil- dren scoff at the idea of going to bed early and Santa Claus! Why, heavens, they know the good old saint is only father, anyway. Once in a while the tiny tots believe in St. Nick, but there's always a wise one who tells the little ones the plain, bare truth. Usually this one is a girl, because boys enjoy fooling the girls and letting them believe in Santa if they want to-it gives the boys a superior feeling. They know that father won't dare disappoint them: so they go to bed quite late, shaking their wise little heads, wondering why these older folks are always trying to fool them. It's really too bad that the children wouldn't be young and innocent. We love them, I suppose, as dearly as if they wereg but somehow I hate to see their young faces scorning all the things that I held so dear. Probably if I should try to teach them to enjoy the childish things we loved, they'd think I was insane-these wise little youngsters of this younger generation. E. C., '34. MY REPUTATION Can you remember when you first began to en- joy the High School group? I think that there is no more accurate reason for calling a First Year Student a freshman than that he has just stepped into society and is as new as fresh vegetables. His senses of humour and of ridicule are very tender and his reputation is his prime concern. I know that when I entered high school I felt very im- portant. I fast began to forfeit my pleasant friends and customs in order to take care of my reputation. There was a girl in my home room 26 who was very popular and my reputation cle- manded her friendship. That was all there was to it, I was willing to help her with her homework. I always picked up anything she dropped. If she was in a hurry, I cleaned up her sewing table and did numerous other little tasks. I did not stop to think that perhaps I was hoping for her reputa- tion to be associated with me rather than trying to create my own. One thing certain is, however, that I did not leave a stone unturned until I had succeeded in mimicking her favorite expression. Thereafter my reputation depended on my saying Oh, my cow and heifer' every time I had the chance. Another little attribute to my reputation was be- .E F. . The Blue fs- White ing able to call all the upperclassmen by their first names and receiving an answer. I never did suc- ceed but that was due to lack of time. I listened to every remark in the corridors in order that I should not lose the name spoken. If I heard a name for the first time, I was sure that I would know the owner the next time I saw him or her. My advancing reputation must have been a good joke to many a wandering senior. But imagine the slump it took when I spoke to a teacher instead ot to the junior I thought I was addressing. Oh, a reputation is always in danger of destruc- tion, and let me warn freshmen that if they want a good reputation they must make it their own and by themselves. L. K., '35, :REEL - - . .

During the following days until freshman reception we lived in mortal terror. Some of the smart guys had to deliver eloquent speeches from the main room desk. At freshman reception we were officially received by the faculty and cordially recognized by the seniors. At our first class meeting Thomas Verrill was elected president. At a later date we voted on class pins which were received in due time. A number of our classmates were recognized immediately for their talent in music and dramatics. Milford Flint, now passed from our ranks to Fryeburg Academy, and Leo VVaite displayed talent in dramatics. Count- less others showed ability in orchestra, glee club, and chorus. Robert Pratt was elected president of our class to guide us through the struggles of our second year. Although this was the most difficult and least eventful year of those so far, we accom- plished a great deal and really made our start on the road to our goal. In Believe It or Not, the annual play, we were especially well represented as Leo VVaite had the leading part. Barbara Small and Philip Leighton also added considerably to the play. Our popular election of presidents seems to vary with each year as Lloyd Spiller was the lucky boy this year. At this same election Lawrence Farr, Ernest Speirs, and Barbara Small were elected vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. At this same meeting a committee of six was elected to select class rings. They were received shortly after Thanksgiving with many favorable comments. Those who will make their appearance in this year's mystery, The Thir- teenth Chair, are Leo Waite, who again has the lead, Barbara Small, and Philip Leighton. In boys' sports, those who have already received their letters are Charlie', Dyer, Lloyd Spiller, Bohn Pratt, Freddy Clarke, and Bill Robie. The boys were outstanding in basketball this year as eight of the ten players who receive their letters are Juniors. They are: Dutchy Mazerall, Freddy,' Clarke, Bohn Pratt, Squire Haskell, T0ody Hansen, Axel Hansen, 'fCharlie Dyer, and Earl Christenson. Outstanding on the girls' sextet were Elsie Nielsen, Margaret McAloney, and Margaret Lar- rivee, who was forced to leave the squad because of an injury. This class history wouldn't be complete without some slight reference to the class clowns. In re- gard to them we will say that Mr. Jordan finds them very, very annoying in his chemistry class. J. 1. P., '35. CLASS OF 1936 The Sophomore Class has certainly come to life. The polls were swarmed with students in the fall election. The result brought forth four leaders of no mean record. Roland Tetrault was elected President, getting his majority of votes from the Laborers I Industrial Deptj, Thomas Hey, se- lected as Vice-President, Anna Verrill as Treas- urer, and Theresa Straw as Secretary, contributed to the greatest sweep ever recorded by the big shots C College Div.j. Q The N. R. A. CAthleticsj soon made its ap- pearance to take care of the unemployed class- mates in the afternoon. Many labored and con- tributed to the drive but the big pay checks Clettersj went to Ralph Swisko, Rene Delcourt, Paul Nelson, Shorty Stone, and Aime Fournier in football. Anna Verrill and Flash Bartlett were the lucky payees in basketball. The 30-hour week promised in baseball is a good opportunity for Roland Tetrault, Tud Waternian, and Big Man Daniels. Four Sophomores benefited from the B. D. L. f Bates Debating Leaguej and won the honor of representing Westbrook High School in the finals. These were Martha Knight, Martha Gorrie, Frances Knight, and Theodore Crowell. And to keep up with the political alphabet soup we nominated and supported two candidates for the A. P. S. C.

A great deal is said today about the develop- ment ot industry, commerce and invention during this century of progress, but very little is said about the development of music. It is surprising to realize that twelve years ago there were no such programs as the Saturday afternoon operas, Law- rence Tibbett, Guy Lombardo, and Rudy Vallee. and countless other musical programs which drift into thousands of homes every day through the medium of a radio. lt is this new interest in fine music which is gradually bringing about changes not only in our radio programs Init in our music department in the high school. Radio has created in many young people an in- terest in learning and in studying music. This fact may be seen by the increase in the number of young musicians. Although the orchestra is not as large as it has been in past years, it is capable ot undertaking more difficult compositions, be- cause those who play in it have a great deal of interest in bettering it. VVagner's Hungarian Dances and Andante Cantobile have been stud- ied this year. At present the orchestra is learning the Coronation March, which will be played at graduation instead of the Aida,', to which the class last year marched. It was not until three years ago, however, that the orchestra played for graduation. By so doing this we not only have saved money for the high school but have made the graduation a program given entirely by students. The Glee Club and the Chorus, like the orches- tra, have made remarkable progress within the last four years. This year the members of the Glee Club with the aid of the victrola have learned to distinguish the difterent instruments in an orches- tra, and the type to which they belong, besides 50 The Blue Er VVhite O R C H E S T R A Front row-Ephraim Robichaud, .lanet Lowell, Dorothy Bragdon, Blanche Marier, Zane Loring.

Such a study gives them a much greater interest in music. The members of the chorus have made a study of music from earliest Chinese civilization to the present day, and have made individual booklets containing pictures and notes concerning the have learned the origin of the different instru- ments and the family to which each belongs. From such a course students gain a knowledge of music and musicians which creates an interest and an understanding in the subject.

Art Department T 0 OUR FAR-AWAY FRIENDS, OF THE MARS, THE MARTIANS That is what we uninformed people of the earth call you. What do you really call yourselves? We know but little concerning your planet, as yet, except for what we can see of you, from our small observatories. Having received your enlightened messages on our orbit, it becomes now my duty to relate to you something of our art endeavors. In one of our largest cities we held a Century of Progress exposition last summer. This was a review and huge display of all modern inventions, together with the arts. Gur so-called modernistic art is a medium of towering lines and simplicity of design. All ornamentation has been reduced to the true scale and law of simplicity. Is it possible that you have schools and that your boys and girls are trained in Art there in your World? We study art here in all our schools. In the particular class, of which I am a member, we have studied the famous painters of our world and their valued paintings. Color values, poster making, and the interesting art of weaving are only a few of our subjects. VVe have constructed book ends and drafted plans for ideal homes. Each year a different course is mapped out by our instructor, with the purpose of fitting art into our daily lives. How does our art compare to yours? If you have passed the era of modernistic art, seven or eight centuries ago, where are you now? No doubt your painters and architects are employing the fourth dimension. Is it possible that you have invented a press which, placed on your head and connected with unpainted canvas, will develop the picture accord- ing to your imagination? Snapo! Your painting is complete! Possibly you have something even better, but Wowee! tell us about it, will you? I wish to address this bit of fact and dream- work to you Martians of a semi-Utopia in care of the starry highways of the Universe. P S , '35. brook High s hoo: Gybficrophonically f RUDY VALLEE I UAUVY The Blue f-r VVhite 54 Commercial On a train leaving Chicago we find Mr. and Mrs. Stewart with their four children, Bubbles, 195 Ann, 175 Billy, 10, and jimmy, 8. They are homeward bound from the great Century of Progress and everyone is eager to tell the other one about some astonishing thing he has seen. HI went into the house where they gave lectures and illustrations on the means of education they had way back a hundred years ago, said Bubbles. I went into it, too,', exclaimed her younger sister, but occupied myself with the present-day education of the people. They did not have much education one hundred years ago, anyway. You mean they didn't have to go to school? questioned Billy. UNO. not quite that. They did have some but it did not amount to much in comparison with that of today. Instead of high schools, there were sev- eral academies, probably forty or fifty, maintain- ing school years of from thirty to forty weeks and giving courses in subjects in preparation for col- lege. The student had to pay tuition and in addi- tion had to furnish his own textbooks and supplies in these academies. At that time there were only two colleges in Maine-Bowdoin and Colby. Each town supported its elementary schools with state support. The school year was anywhere from ten to twenty weeks. What did they study F inquired Ann. The studies, continued Bubbles, were of the most elementary character, consisting chiefly of reading, writing, spelling, English grammar and arithmetic. There was at that time some very elementary work in geography, but practically none in history or civicsf' Was anything said about the construction of the school buildings ?', asked her mother. I be- lieve, if I remember correctly. they were all one- room buildings, were they not P In the majority of instances the school was a one-room building heated either by a fireplace or by a crude box stove, responded Bubbles. There were usually two terms-a winter and summer term. The winter term began in November and Department was in session about twelve weeks, the summer school extended from the first day of May and ran for about ten weeks. Here she gave a very interesting account of how they had to wait for the mud to dry before they could start the summer term, and how men teachers were hired to teach in the winter and women in the summer. In 1874 the Free High School Act was passed by the Legislature, which provided an opportunity for the establishment of many High Schools. You'd be surprised, said her father, that just about that time, around 1890, Westbrook had an enrollment of approximately 125, with a faculty of four. I don't see the connection between that period and the present, though, interrupted Ann, who was anxious to tell her experience. Why, yes, Ann, don't you see? The schools then formed a background for us and we learned the fundamentals of the commercial world from them. The subjects English, reading, spelling, writing, and arithmetic were carried down from generation to generation until we have the sub- jects of the commercial course, consisting of bookkeeping, shorthand, and what else do you have in the Commercial Department ? Oh, bookkeeping, shorthand, typewriting, and office practice. Did you learn anything about these in the lec- ture you listened to P asked her mother. Yes To me it is more interesting than what Bubbles has been telling. ' Tell us and see what we think of it,,' replied Bubbles. He spoke of shorthand first and gave a defini- tion familiar to everyone who studies the system: 'Shorthand is a system of writing in which char- acters are used as symbols for alphabetical lettersf Even Washington took shorthand at 14 and when he was president he had a very efficient secretary to do it for him. . Did the lecturer- say anything about the history of shorthand ? asked Bubbles. In the writings of nearly all the classical writers of Rome during the first three centuries of VVestbrook High School 55 the Christian Era, mention was made of short- hand writing. At that time shorthand was taught in public schools, used in courts of justice, and especially practiced in public and private afiairs. Tiro was really the first inventor of shorthand about whom we know very much. This abbrevi- ated form of writing continued until 1837, when Isaac Pitman published a system called the Pit- man Shorthand. This system was used for some time in Westbrook High School, but now we use the Gregg method. In this system, the company offers pins and other awards for efficiency in the work that gives us a better chance in the business world. What is the record now in the Westlircmoli' High School P asked Bubbles, who was a grad- uate of that school. I believe it is 110 words a minutef, I don't think anyone in my class got as many as that. I believe 100 words or a little more was the limit. The lecturer also discussed typewriting, along with shorthand. Is the typewriter that piano-like thing P asked Billy. ' Yes, if you mean the machine with the keys. It was patented in England in 1714 and in France in 1784, but not until 18113 in America. The first one was called the lThurber.' I have the names here of the inventors. They were two printers, Sholes and Soule, who cooperated ill making this business piano, as we shall call it. A little later the Remington Sz Sons of Ilion, N. Y., manufac- tured one and at first it was used only by profes- sional men. It was not thought of for business until 1882. I took dates down. How much faster is the typewriter than hand- writing P asked her father. According to the facts given in the lecture, it will save 40 minutes an hour, or even 5 hours a day. Some people write over 100 words a minute. l Compliments of The Cotton Dept. Store I Cobb's Restaurant ws spscmtizs IN CHICKEN Piss , Compliments of Welch Sign Shop 820 Main Street DuPONT PAINTS L.

I always- liked that subject when I went to high school, said Bubbles. The system is based on the Domesday Book, which was a record of all taxable estates in fthe kingdom of J England. In 1635, English account- ants published the 'Merchant's Mirror,' a treatise on bookkeeping and accounting. A man by the name of Hamilton published a book in 1777 out- lining systems for tradesmen and shopkeepers, and classifying accounts as personal, real and fic- titious. As you know, in high school we are given a Practice Set which consists of a regular business in miniature form. In this set we learn every possible business transaction as if We were in a real office. 'KI should think you must have enjoyed the lec- ture. You seem to have remembered the facts quite accurately, exclaimed her mother. I did like it, but I am not through yet. What else is there in business education? Cer- tainly we can't expect any more from this small school. You'd be surprised. There is office practice. 6'What is that? I never had it when I went to school. No, I know you didn't. But what fun! We take up 31 units, consisting of the following: Mimeograph, Business Forms, Legal Papers, Monroe Calculator, Statistical Clerk's Work, Billing and Statements, Dalton, Graphs, Itinera- ries, Burrough Calculator, Tabulation, Telegrams, Correspondence, Parcel Post Problems, Comp- Domestic A hundred years ago the home economist gained her training by working with her mother or some other older woman in the home or in a convent where the nuns taught Fine Needlework and Cookery for the Sick to the young women placed in their charge. The girls of Boston were the first to have needlework taught by their regular school teach- ers. A woman in Scotland, named Mrs. McIver, is supposed to have been the first teacher of a tometer, Filing, Proof Reading, Reference Books, Burroughs Adding Machine, Office Work, Pay- roll, Scrapbook, Miscellaneous, Penmanship. Be- sides the units we have one or two weeks in the principal's office where we take letters in short- hand and also typewrite. It is said that we are very fortunate for we are about the best equipped school in Maine for the machines such as are mentioned above in the units. Along the last of the year, nine weeks are spent on filing. Aw, what's the use of learning to file? That's only putting papers away, said Jimmy. Oh, no! It's not only putting them away but being able to find them afterwards. It is one of the most important functions of the office. We also have experience in real filing as we do in bookkeeping. We have nine different miniature files in which we are required to file correctly the given material. By the time you get through your year at high school, you ought to know something about busi- ness, said her father. Well, I feel as though I have as much experi- ence as one could expect from high school. We seem to have a very efficient course. C Here a porter interrupts, hollering: Next stop at West- brook. j My goodness I exclaimed the mother. Have We been talking all this time ? Yes, you have. I didn't have a chance to say a word about my fun. You girls are always wound up, said Billy, feeling quite bad. E. S., '34. R. W., '35. Science cooking class ever conducted as a private enter- prise. Later in 1854 sewing was introduced into the lower grades of the grammar schools of the large cities to teach the children -of the poor and needy how to sew. Two Women, Emma Willard and Catherine Beecher, worked a great deal to pro- mote such training for the girls in their schools. Another step forward was taken when the English schools of cookery were started, to be followed Westbrook High School 57 QDon't Quy in Circles -- Cgalee a :Straight .fine to WATSON 'S NEIGHBORHOOD GROCERY STORE Fancy Groceries and Meats GREEN TRUCK IN ITS SEASON S.

In order to secure sufficient funds to carry on their work they had to offer instruction in the least known foods. Women felt they didn't need lessons in preparing soups, breads. or pastry: but they would pay to learn about salads, fancy frostings, or the wonders of ice cream. Next came the need of training teachers to carry on the training in the public schools, thus began the establishment of such departments in many schools and colleges. Miss Maria Parloa started the first training of teachers of Home Economics in the normal class at the Boston Cooking School. A No one deserves greater recognition in this line than does Mrs. Ellen Richards, who devoted her life to the study and application of science to the many problems of the household and who was for many years engaged in promoting education along these lines in schools and colleges. Since then every city in the United States has adopted a department of Home Economics under the direction of well-trained teachers, who are teaching Home Economics with the rules of science together with the help of the measuring cup instead of the old-time methods of just mix- ing up a batter, or sewing a straight seam. FRANCES KNIGHT, '35, Science Department Whatcha doing, jim ? asked a Freshman, staring in awe at a certain Junior chemist. Aw, nothing, just looking at these pictures, replied the upperclassman. Where d'ya get them ? quizzed the youngster. I made them up in the 'Lab'. I bet you didn't. You got them from a photog- rapher. At this jim replied, Here comes 'Kippyf I'll get the keys off him and make some more to show you. Come on, 'Frosh,' and you'll see. After receiving the keys from the Chemistry Instructor. the older boy led the younger to the laboratory reeking with odors of hydrogen sul- phide, better known as rotten egg gas. Phew, exclaimed the amazed youngster, 6'what's this, a deserted henhouse ? Naw, that's just the gas We've been making to put in some 'stink' bombs. You'll get used to it. It's not very strong. Then jim led the Freshman into the Sanctum Sanctorumf' Gee, but it's dark in here. It has to be to prevent exposing films. The only light we use is the red one up there, point- ing towards the ceiling. Come here and I'll show you how to make negatives. What are they ? The black prints. I don't care about those. Make the pictures. The junior proceeded and picked up a group of negatives with some white pieces of paper, called prints. He placed one of the negatives against a print on the window of a light-tight box. Then he pushed a button which closed the current on three bright bulbs in the box, thus exposing the print. Immediately after this he removed the white piece of paper and gave it to the interested youngster, saying. Develop this in the 'hypof That liquid over there in the tin dish. The Freshman did as he was told and to his amazement a form started developing on the paper. This grew and grew until a Snapshot'l was formed. Then the junior took the picture, washed and dried it before giving it to the Fresh- man as a souvenir. To all this the youngster re- plied, Gee, Science must be grand. In contrast to this experiment which can be per- formed by any boy of today equipped with proper apparatus and the ordinary scientific education of a high school, let us go back nearly a century to the year 1840. Dr. john Draper holds degrees of M. D. and LL. D., and has spent his lifetime experimenting in chemistry relative to photog- raphy. I-Ie is talking to his sister, Dolly : If this will only work, I can make a fortune. Westbrook High School 59 Dollv re lies, I don't see Whv ou can't.

My types won't take a third of the time that his doesf, Never mind that, start the machine working. It's not a machine, It's a-. All right, start whatever it is going. I'm impatient. Dr. Draper started operating his rude, bulky camera on a form of tripod in his backyard. Miss Dolly was sitting on a backless chair facing the strong, bitter sun. There she sat for nearly fifteen minutes without moving and hardly breathing. This was necessary for instantaneous exposures were not to be invented until a few years later. Dr. Draper continued talking after the exposure was made. You can be at ease now. It's all over except for the developing. Thank goodness. Dr. Draper took the film in a closed container to his laboratory in his home. Here he developed the film into the first picture taken from life. This was a copper positive print so could not he used for printing duplicates. ., . fu ::iB!6?ioE V .1 THE SPORTING GOODS STORE Base Ball Goods and Track 'ii fig Equipment, Sweaters, Slacks, Tennis Supplies, Sweat Shirts F.

Being interested to hear some of the historical facts about the early settlers of Westbrook, I de- cided to interview Miss Carrie M. Pratt Ca former teacher in the schools of this city and now principal of the Chapman School in Portlandj, whose people have lived here for many genera- tions and whose ancestors were among the earlier settlers of Westbrook. Among the many interesting facts about West- brook which I learned from Miss Pratt were three concerning her ancestors who were certainly interesting people. Several of the old families living here, she said, kept slaves. Among these families were the Flu- ents, who lived on the Portland road, and the Doles, who lived in the old gambrel-roofed house at Stroudwater. One day, when my father was a little boy, Miss Pratt began, he was walking with his father through what is now Woodlawn Cemetery. Just beyond the present limits of the Cemetery they came upon some low mounds of earth over which he was running and jumping, when his father called out sharply, 'Don't run over those graves' In answer to his inquiries, his father explained that those were the graves of the old Dole and Fluent slaves. One anecdote relating to the Revolutionary War proves that the women of that day were fully as curious as the women of today. When Mowatt shelled Portland in 1775, he gave the people so many hours in which to leave the city, but no one believed he would carry out his threat until he sent a messenger ashore to in- form them that he should open Fire at a certain hour. As quickly as they were able, they dug trenches in which they placed the women and children. My great, great grandmother Mount- fort, the granddaughter of Samuel Moody, the first settler of Portland, so far permitted her curiosity to get the better of her, said Miss Pratt, laughingly, 'lthat she popped up her head to see what was going on. A bullet whistling through the frill of her cap satisfied her curiosity most effectively and sent her to the refuge of the trench. Many of the citizens carried pieces of furniture to the outlying districts and some of it was 'forgotten and never retrieved. Continuing in conversation, Miss Pratt referred to the capture of the revenue cutter in Portland harbor during the Civil War. 'fOne Sunday afternoon, said she, the Con- federates entered the harbor, boarded the cutter anchored there and were well beyond Portland Head Light before the theft was discovered. Great excitement ensued. It was the time of the afternoon service in the churches. Suddenly the door of the church was flung violently open and a breathless messenger dashed to the pulpit and whispered to the parson. Immediately, the parson repeated the message to the congregation and the service was brought to an abrupt close. The people rushed to Munjoy Hill, which commanded, as it does today, an extensive view of the harbor. The ship was not in sight. A few hours later, as I recall, the crew was captured and the ship burned. F. K., '34. It is indeed a pleasure to send greetings to friends at Westbrook High School, and to all friends and acquaintances of the Westbrook High School Alumni. Each day hurries on and soon the days number years since we former students were enrolled at our Alma Mater. But we often think back to those happy days. We realize now with more appreciation that the lessons we learned were means of developing in us a sense of responsi- bility in life. It is inspiring to note that each year a larger class is being graduated from Westbrook High VVestbrook High School 63 School so that each year more young people are being instructed in the art of living. Let us all, young friends, make the most of our lives and get the best out of life. VVould you do this? Then, says Gerald Breitigam in his book Dare to Live, analyze yourselfg learn your weaknesses-and strive to overcome them: know your aptitudes-and work diligently to develop them.

Fraser made his valedictory bow at Vtlestbrook High School in 1933, by molding a championship nine and leaving a strong nucleus for another team in 1934. VVestbrook asserted its supremacy in the Telegram League by capturing all divisions of play except home runs and stolen bases. After an inauspicious beginning at the Warreii League grounds, where they were beaten, 6 to 5, by Sanford, the team gained its stride and swept the opposition aside methodically to win the Telegram League pennant for the eighth time, winning eight games and losing two. At Deering, the following week, in the midst of a sleet storm and bitter cold. the boys were vic- torious, 9 to 4. Robert Tetraultis home run in the first inning started the ball rolling and Forrest King held the Deering batters well in check for the remainder of the game. Cheverus was snowed under by the f'football score of 16 to 0 at the Stadium as Westlirfwok garnered 20 hits from the offerings of three Cheverus pitchers. Harlan Shane fanned eleven batters and VVyman Foster made a spectacular one-hand catch of a long drive with the bases loaded. The following week saw VX estbrook subduing Portland in easy fashion, 7 to 73. The game was a listless affair and was marked only by a fine turnout of students, due to a ticket sellingcam- paign. . The Westlurook team struck a snag in the next game with South Portland. The infielders, un- accustomed to the rough playing surface, played loosely and South Portland, with Kershaw pitch- ing fine ball, won 3 to 1. In a game interrupted by a severe downpour, we edged Deering in the 10th inning, 5 to 4. Heele, Deering catcher, threw the ball wildly to right field with the bases loaded and the winning run scored. Again, on a soggy Held, Westlarook tripped Sanford, 2 to 1, in a thrilling game.

A tie was averted by Henry Cote, who nailed a Sanford runner at third base by a terrific heave from the left-center field fence. At the Portland Stadium we defeated Portland, 8 to 5. Allen, of Portland, hit a home run over the left field barrier but it was a futile gesture as we came back strongly to win, Shane breezing 12 men. In the next game, with Cheverus at the Warren League grounds, Shane quelled a Cheverus up- rising, fanning 10 after King had been removed from the box, and we went on to win, 9 to 5. In the final and what proved to be the cham- pionship game, VVestbrook bent South Portland in easy fashion, a pair of errors and Westbrook hits contributing to the downfall of Kershaw, the opposing pitcher, to the tune of 6 to 2. In the All-Telegram selections, Shane, Bernier, Cote and Spiller gained positions and Shane was the League's leading pitcher and batter. The school received the Telegram League cup and the Wilson Trophy. The boys later went to lloston as guests of the Westlmrook Merchants. At a benefit game in which we won over the All Stars, 4 to 3, enough money was realized to purchase chamois jackets for the letter men and Coach Fraser.

BASKETBALL, 1933-1934 The basketball season for 1933-1934 was the most successful season Westbrook has had for a long while. VVe won nine games and lost only eight. In the next few years we should be able to see Vlfestbrook on the top in basketball under the fine supervision of Coach Larry Gates. A large squad reported at the first of the season but this soon thinned out. Manager Charles Dyer did fine work playing as well as managing. During the whole season we defeated Gorham Normal School and Morse twice and Deering, Edward Little, Alumni and Norway once. VVest- brook also lost close games to Sanford at home, South Portland, both away and at home, and Thornton at home. Westbrook just seemed to start too late in the season. Captain Henry Cote performed many miracles during the basketball year with his spectacular playing, especially during the game with Morse High School at Bath, Maine. jack llarmon, guard, also did fine work during the first part of the season before his dislocated shoulder caused him to slow up. Bob Pratt, forward, helped the team much by his long shots to the basket. We will have Bob with us again next year. Clark, that tall, lanky center, showed great improvement as the year progressed. His great height has been an asset to the High School. Earle Haskell, play- ing his hrst and last games for the High School, was outstanding in the last game of the season with Norway. By scoring seven points he led by the greatest number of points. Dutchy Maz- zeral, substituting for Harmon, played dependable basketball, especially in the last South Portland game. Although the second team did not do so well, it should not be forgotten. Its players will form the nucleus of next yearys team. Captain Billy Athas was the outstanding player.

Wheii the candidates for the Bates Tournament were chosen, the Westlarook players and fans were very much upset over the fact that Morse and Lewiston were selected instead of us. We had beaten Morse twice and Lewiston had won only two games during the season, those being on their own floor. The schedule for the season was as follows: Westbrook Opponents Dec. 29-Fri. Alumni, Jan. 5-Fri. Edward Little, Jan. 12-Fri. Deering, Jan. 16-Tues. Gorham, Jan. 19-Fri. Sanford, Jan. 23-Tues South Portland, Ian. 26-Fri. Thornton, Jan. 31-Wed.' Thornton, Feb. 2-Fri.

H. w. J., 'ai FOOTBALL, 1933 Football practice started September 6, under our new coach, Larry Gates. About hfty candi- dates reported. After school began, two weeks later, the squad was reduced to about thirty-both 67 68 The Blue ef white the heat and hard work eliminating most of them. This squad averaged about 140 pounds apiece, and attended practice very irregularly. Quite a few days during the season, Coach Gates had difficulty in making up two teams. Pushing aside all these difficulties, Westbrook met her first foe of the season, Morse High School, at Bath, Me., on September 30th. West- brook won easily, 13-0. This game showed up the fine coaching of Coach Gates and also showed us our weak spots. Harold Harmon was Captain at this game. The following week Westbrook lost to the tune of 33-0 in favor of Biddeford High School, in Saco. This game was a jonah from start to finish. Jack Harmon, our quarterback, dislocated a shoulder in this game and later Jackie Foley, the only substitute for Harmon, was taken out of the game with many injuries and was unable to play the rest of the season. Henry Cote was Cap- tain during this game. On October 14th, the boys took a long trip to Rumford, where they lost a hard-fought battle, 19-0. They played excellent football after the first quarter against men twice their size. Cote was outstanding in this game. Albert Hunter was elected Captain for the rest of the season. On our home ground, Westbrook was beaten, 33-7, by South Portland. It was in this game that the Blue Blazesn were given their title of the Hscrappiest squad. Our best efforts were use- less against the perfect team of South Portland, our weak defense, and our lack of reserves. Robie was taken out of this game with a badly sprained ankle. Westbrook played host to Thornton on October 28th, and again was defeated by a larger team. Showing a great defense and nearly as good an offense, the Westbrook boys fought hard. The score was 19-6. In this game we had no substi- tute for Howard joy, playing center, as Bill Robie was still out with a sprained ankle. The team worked together in this game more than they ever had before. On November 4th Westbrook journeyed to Sanford and was defeated by both the cold and a lucky team, 21-0. Westbrook's inability to play was due largely to the fact that they were frozen. A wild pass was made by Howard joy that gave them one touchdown over Westbrook. When this happened, Coach Gates kicked over the water pail. The next week, on November 11th, Westbrook went to Deering for the annual Armistice Day game with Deering High School. Westbrook was defeated, 14-0, by a better team, Westbrook again lacking the reserves. Jack Harmon played the whole game, at end, with his dislocated shoulder kept in place by a leather belt strapped around one arm. He played a fine defensive game, tripping with his body instead of tackling. This was the last game in high school for Captain Albert Hun- ter, Iack Harmon, Wade Harmon, Henry Cote and Howard Joy. Those making their letters were: Captain Al- bert Hunter, Wade Harmon, jack Harmon, Paul Nelson, Robert Pratt, Henry Cote, George Gag- non, Bill Robie, Howard Joy, Rene Delcourt, Aime Fournier, Thomas Verrill, Charles Dyer, Chester Palmer, Fred Nelson and Petro Peters, manager. Wade Harmon was chosen All-Conference End. Coach Gates presented him with a gold football, given by the Sunday Telegram. After the season was over a banquet was ar- ranged for the squad by Coach Gates. A roast beef dinner was served by the girls of the cook- ing class, under the supervision of Miss Burns, in the Domestic Science Rooms. Coach Gates drew appropriate place-cards for each of the boys. Leigh Motherwell acted as toastmaster and speeches were made by Charlie Lynch, Guy V. Sinclair, Coach Gates, Principal Milton Philbrook, Captain Albert Hunter, Henry Cote, jack Har- mon, Wade Harmon and Howard Joy. H. w. J., '34, AT A BASKETBALL GAME What an afternoon! I'm on my way to the girls' basketball game. As I enter the Legion Hall I hear a group of boys discussing the game and players. Unnoticed I pass along and take Westbrook High School GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM Front row fleft to rightj-Rachel Small, Helen Due, Frances Keefe, Captain Alma Libby, Jane Woodman, Viola Chaplin, Margaret MacAloney. Second row-Thelma Bassett, Marguerite Luthe, Lois Mitchell, Harriet Cutter, Anna Verrill, Elsie Nielsen, Madeline Bartlett, Simonne Boulanger. Back row-Coach Clifford Jordan, Grace Pednault,Fernande Baillargeon,Beu- lah Smith, Manager Theresa McFarland, Frances Nielson. my seat. No sooner done than l see the girls leave the floor from practicing. At the sound of the referee's whistle each team runs to their separate places. The game is on! The ball is traveling fast and is being passed around as if it were alive. Both teams are working hard. Gorham's defensive work seems to be slowing up. Ah! our fast for- ward can get by theml There goes a sweet bas- ket by Chaplin, who has a keen eye for the basket. Back to the center it goes. Now the ball has found its way down to their forwards. Due to Jane's good defensive work and F rances' sterling quality of playing, the Gorham forwards are un- able to make a basket. Our strong guards quickly pass the ball to our centers. VVhat a smooth passing team it is! Mac, the loyal jumping center, and Alma, the faithful side- center, are always eager to obtain the ball and pass it to the forwards. Now the ball travels down again to Westbrook's forwards. With Shorty, our other sharpshooter, Elsie Nelson, is stationed. She has a keen eye for long shots and fouls. They have the ball but not for long. I Another basket to our credit. Their score seems to be increasing rapidly. With this lead Coach Jordan can afford to sub- stitute players. Good, here comes Anna Verrill. She has played well all season and has been a great asset to the team. Along with her comes Rachael Small, our skilful forward or our fast side-center. 69 in The Blue fr VVhite 70 There goes two more substitutes, Helen Due and Madeline Bartlett. These two girls are strong guards and have played well all season. It's too bad that Margaret Larrivee isn't here to play. VVe surely miss her. In spite of the free scoring, the game is inter- esting to watch and the players are exceedingly clever. ' Now the game is over with a victory for West- brook. The girls are leaving the floor. Good work, girls! Before we forget this yearis team, let us look at their schedule. Although the girls, basketball team got away with a slow start, they finally succeeded in hitting their winning stride and closed the season success- fully. Their schedule is: Westbrook Opponents Westbrook at Gorham, 30 33 Westbrook at Fairfield, 27 34 Westbrook and Alumnae, 16 3 South Portland at Westbrook, 20 26 Westbrook at Deering, 15 35 Y. W. C. A. at Westbrook, 24 28 Gorham at Westbrook, 41 31 , Westbrook at South Portland, 29 16 Westbrook at Portland, 19 22 Y. W. C, A. at Westbrook, 29 20 Fairfield at Westbrook, 16 30 Deering at Westbrook, 20 25 The rest of the squad have all been faithful to practice but have not played the sufficient num- ber of quarters to make their letters. They are Thelma Bassett, Margaret Luthe, Harriet Cutter, Grace Pednault, Dorothy Harnois, Simone Belan- ger, Edna McFarland, Frances Golden, Frances Nelson, F ernande Baillergeron, Beulah Smith and Lois Mitchell. Although Margaret Larrivee, who received a serious injury to her hand during practice, was forced to discontinue her playing halfway through the season, we of the basketball squad wish to ex- tend to her our sympathies and express apprecia- tion for the splendid spirit which she has shown.

The Emerson High School publishes The Altruist twice yearly. It is an attractively bound book, giving special attention to school activities, among which are several dramatic and foreign language clubs. An outstanding feature of this yearbook is the pages devoted to Seniors in sports. Brunswick High School edits the Orange and Black at the close of each year. This publication is well compiled. One of the most interesting sections is that which includes an account of the three lower classes. One of the Hnest yearbooks which Westlmrook High School has received is the Oracle, published by the students of Edward Little High School. In addition to the regular contents, this book con- tains an interesting class directory. Although The Crest, edited by Falmouth High School, is a small book, it is unsurpassed in lit- erary value. One of the departments is given over entirely to poetry, which is written by the mem- bers of the student body. We judge from reading The Crest that Falmouth High School has reason to be proud of its many activities. If one wishes to read these books, they may be found in the principal's office. V, M.

Ulf Hadorrsoon's roof has neat red tiles set in rows like checker-board pattern, and the green gutter flings wayward rain- drops into a warped oaken barrel. Inside, bacons and smoked meats hang side by side with braided corn and bunches of beans. The beans are sooty, and the firelight sweeps vainly at the restless tides of the inky shadows. 2. Simon Eirik's roof is mossy, and the rotten shingles are soft and receive the rain openly, so that often Simon's wife must put pans under the leaks.
