CDQLACCL llOH 1'T14g,1tgt,:: t 3 e, the members of the class of 1940, fully realizing that the future citizens of America will, in a large measure, owe their character and resourcefulness to the teachers of the country. respectfully and gratefully dedicate this edition of the Blue and Whz'te to two long-faithful in- structors, Miss Mary Byrne and Mr. Austin Alden. QOOPERATION-a partnership, the combined action of persons for a common benefit or end. Nothing more truly expresses the American ideal of human relationships. United action and service can accomplish What, to the casual observer, would seem impossible. Neither teachers, pupils, nor fine building alone can make our school What We wish it to be: but if each one works as an active member in this partnership, Westbrook High School will be unsurpassed by any secondary school in the state. MARY S. BYRNE. THE public school is typically American and like our government is built upon mutual endeavor. Only when perfect cooperation exists among community, family, students and teachers can it reach its greatest efficiency. Q AUSTIN ALDEN. cknowledgments fb The editorial board wish to express their gratitude to- The S. D. YVarren Company, who again have con- tributed the paper upon which the magazine is printed. The advertisers, whose patronage makes possible our success. The faculty advisers for valuable assistance and super- vision. Mr. H. S. Cobb, printer, whose long connection with the publication of the Blue and White has been of great service. Everyone who has contributed time or effort to the making of the yearbook.

Standing left to right: DOROTHY KINMOND lVice- Presidentl, MARY FRASER lTreasurerl, and JANE SMITH lSecretary A LETTER TO THE JUNIORS Dear Classmates: Here's that man again, your class reporter, reluctantly transcribing for you the news of the year as seen from a slide rule. This is the hidden chapter in our lives entitled How 'We Became Juniors, or The Progress of a Kleptomaniacf' If you will lend us your ears, we will return them to you cleaned and pressed. Worse can be better, as Mr. Jordan so often says, peering benignly over his spectacles at the chemistry class. Despite another year having passed since last we communicated, everything looks much the same. Jane Skeeter Smith is still class secretary--she keeps the records we haven't got. We elected as president, Donald Brydon. Dotty Kinmond is vice-president. Mary Fraser is treasurer. If we had a business manager, Marjorie Dame could be it. She's very businesslike in odd moments. Looking over an old program of Growing Painsl' we keep to cry over in sentimental minutes, we came upon scattered names whose context seemed oddly connotative of juniority-tor instance, basket- ball-playing Madeline McAloney: Jimmy Welch, a matinee idol ot long standing: Marjorie Dame, who had to smile: and Mary Fraser, being maternal again. Dot Howe prompted. The football team was bIessedl?j with the presence of certain musclebound juniors- 'Wug Theriault, Burton Witham, Gordon Cousins, and Boob Knight sometimes. Scholastically, the juniors scintillate. There are the steady lights, like Arline Swendsen, Anita Zahares, and Roger Welch. Georgette LeBeI is another used to tripping up the aisle for her honor card. For the first time in years and years the male portion ofthe class really came through in shining colors. Bill Rochleau, Roger Welch, and Donald Brydon were all on the honor roll. Basketballs to the right of me, basketballs to the Iett of me volleyed and thundered-or some- thing. Anyway, Grover Barbour was one of the high scorers for the League and he's a junior. Wug Theriault played a good game lwith offside encouragement from Margiel. Waynie Small lwith ditto from Anniej came in better late than never. George Hague, Donald Doyle, and Harry Watson were other juniors who played and excelled. And the ladies, ah the ladies! Again Ann Johnson, ornamental as well as a good player: Marguerite Auclair, another whizz: Madeline McAloney, that glamor-girl gone muscular: Betty Given, a whirlwind in shorts: and Corrine Harnois, a lady of prowess, played excellent games. Donald Brydon and Leland Kenny provided sponsorship for the junior assembly. It was a good assembly. Ol course, a peek into a French class gone wrong lwe mean when teacher goes outl would have been more enjoyable, but you can't have everything. Life is catching up with us, juniors. Soon we will be old, old ladies and gentlemen-seniors, to be exact. Now is the moment for your stern reporter to point an accusing finger at you and demand your purpose in life. Do you want to go on forever having fun in assemblies, annoying Mr. Jordan, going into corners at recess, teasing Miss Stevens, watching Ruth come in late and Conrad not at all- or do you want to reform? You don't! Well, all I can say is, just wait until you are seniors lif everl and have gray hairs. Until then, we turn you over for better or for worse to the remainder of this book. Have a good time. ii YOUR JUNIOR SCRIBE.

DEAR DIARY Pages ot a sophomore's diary torn from here and there, but, thank goodness, not everywhere. Sept. Il: Returned to school. I-lad tun teasing freshmen. Pretty green looking lot. Wonder it we were as bewildered last year. Well, looks like a long hard year ahead, but here goes. I hope to get all Ns this year. Sept. 28: We had a class meeting. Atter spending most ot the fourth period counting ballots. we tound that our new otlicers were Richard Spiller, president: Fritz Bernier, vice-president: Erleen Ingalls, secretary: and Malcolm Plummer, treasurer. Oct. 6: Sophomore assembly! TherriauIt's taint was feigned, but not so that of the audience. We all envied the freshmen who sat in the rear of the hall and couldn't hear very well. I-lowever, every- body survived and it wasn't too bad. Today was pretty busy. The Major Westbrook Show was produced tonight, with a tlurry ot jokes stolen from HeIlzapoppin and other sources. Jimmy lngraham, Helene Sawyer, Shirley Libby, Ruth Asker, Catherine Wentworth, Merle Gott, and the Trumpet Trio all dis- tinguished themselves by giving breath-taking performances which will go down in history as the best in a decade. lThey were good, too.l Nov. 24: The assembly play was presented in the auditorium. Everyone did well, especially Calvin Knowlton, who had the leads. The author must have had plenty ot imagination to get one person into so much trouble in just three acts. Bette Shibles and June Caron were able supporters in the cast. Elizabeth Furbish sold a heap ot tickets and helped to make the play a success. Jan. 22: Took the first ot my mid-years. Decided to leave the job ot getting all A's to someone else-anyone else. Feb. 2: Rank cards with halt-year averages were passed out. When I saw mine, I did too. There were some, though, who managed to get on the honor roll. For instance, to mention a tew, Mary Carver, Clifton Clark, Esther Libby, David Miller, Pauline Spiller, and Jessica Wentworth.

IF IQ, IIE S IIHII Nl IE N FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS RICHARD NELSON-President LEE SWASEY-Vice-President CECILE MERCIER-Secretary ROBERT SULLIVAN-Treasurer GREEN NETWORK Good evening, ladies and gentlemen: This is station W. H. S. operating on a carrier frequency of T943 kilocycles. We bring you this evening a transcribed program of the freshman class of Westbrook High School. Sept. I4, l939: The freshmen entered this high school and made themselves known as a respect- able, brilliant group of rowdies. They soon entered politics, electing Richard Pete Nelson presi- dent and Lee Swasey as vice-president. Cecile Mercier was chosen secretary and Robert Sullivan, treasurer. iThis last position is just honorary as yet.j Oct, 24: The freshman reception was presented in which John Archambeau and Geraldine Foley were the freshman actors. Here the freshmen formally became members of the high school. Nov 24: The school play, Growing Pains, was presented. ln this the freshmen were well repre- sented with Joyce Ingalls, Margaret Asker, Willard Sawyer, and Clayton Adams. This broadcasting system brings you a special report from the honor roll. There were six on the honor roll at the first quarter and ten at the half. The ten on the honor roll at the half were Winston Chapman, Marguerite Googins, Joyce Ingalls, Janet Laverty, Gloria Peachwall, Anita Porrell, Virginia Robinson, Priscilla Spiller, Margaret Webb, and Clayton Adams. Westbrook: Censored by the High School Faculty. ln music circles the freshmen are making his- tory. If it were not for freshmen, the High School Orchestra might have an acute pain for lack of players. The freshman orchestra, composed of thirteen members, won a prize at Major Westbrook and also played at the freshman reception. The Freshman Orchestra donated its entire treasury of S .65 to the worthy cause of thc radio in Miss Matthews' room. Special Bulletin! ln the world of sports the freshman have been majoring. In football W'estbrook's only win of the season was made possible by Marcel Peachwall, who clropskicked a field goal. ln basketball such boys as William Jordan, Donald Keay, and Leon Leavitt have shown that they may develop into star players. The freshmen are trying hard in all their studies and want to make their four years here a success. Keep tuned to this station for further news reports. Station W. H. S. now signing off. Srrhrrlrwltir Qlaris The memory ot the Wednesday morning meetings ot the Scholastic Club will linger long with its members. The programs presented were both interesting and instructive. Wfhile still treshmen, the members ot the club elected their otticersz Merle Gott, president: Ashley Carter, vice-president: Ruth Asker, secretary: and Elizabeth Eurbish, treasurer. The school paper, which was started last year, was continued by the club this year. Members ot the club and representatives ot the ditterent classes made up the editorial board. lt is the wish of the club that the Scholastic Clubs ot the future con- tinue the paper. The second annual Junior Prom was presented by the club on the eighteenth ot January in the High School Auditorium. The club was taken on a tour ot the Press Herald building. The ditterent steps in the preparation ot a newspaper were pointed out and explained to the club members by a guide furnished by the company. The Scholastic Club assembly this year was a burlesque ot the court scene ot The Merchant ot Venice. lt was written by two tormer members ot the club, Alan Taylor and George Craigie, and was enacted by present members. The club is, at this time, sponsoring a poetry contest. lt is open to all students ot the high school and the poems will be judged by the English teachers. The best ot the poems submitted will be printed in the Scholastic Club poetry booklet, Whittlings. I The members ot the club wish to express their sincere thanks to Mrs. Hatch, the faculty advisor. Without her help and guidance the club couldn't be the success it is.

Certainly the International Relations Club did not. Wars and rumors of war, trade pacts, minority rihts and problems, political coups-these and many other events filled the thoughts of anyone at all awake to the passing show events. The club, under the supervision of Miss Pauline Abbott, faculty adviser, pursued its usual course of informal Thursday sessions inter- spersed with more formal meetings based upon information furnished by a national syndicate of similar clubs. Two particularly interesting and significant programs concerned the minorities of Europe, their histories and the way in which they affect the international situation. For the first time in its history, the International Relations Club occupied itself with a definite school problem-the school library. The club had been considering such a project for some time, and last fall began plans for a partial redecoration-that is, as far as its funds would permit. Accordingly, they purchased the new desk so much admired by the students. The money for curtains was given to the Home Economics Group who made and hung them. In addition. subscriptions to The National Geographic Magazine and Scribner's Commentator were presented to the library. Various other activities were carried on by the members. They alternated with the other clubs in selling candy at recess. They sponsored the Armistice Day assembly at which the Rev. Dawes Veazie gave an interesting talk. Pauline Pass ofiiciated as mistress of ceremonies. At present the club is planning a theater party to be held in the near future. The club elected its officers early in the year. They are Mary Fraser, president: Priscilla Wilkins, vice-president: Gabrielle Thibeault, secretary-treasurer: and Roger Adams, business- manager. The year has been both busy and memorable for the few who constitute the membership. Perhaps the small number of members has been a disappointment to the oiiicers and Miss Abbott. but otherwise the club feels well pleased with the sum of the year's activities and rather proud that so few have accomplished as much as they have. THE RMDTNG CLUB The Riding Club of W6Sllll'00li High School was founded about three years ago by a group of young people interested in riding as a sport and as a science. lt provided then, as now, an opportunity for the members to acquire a new accomplishment or to renew an old one and to have an excellent time doing it. Mrs. Clinton Rines served as adviser and instructor that first year. Interest in the social side of the school prompted the members to sponsor as many activities as were possible. The Riding Club dances became bywords for a good time. They were among the most talked-of and most remembered school functions. Last year Miss Stevens became faculty adviser, as well as a new convert to the art of horse- manship, and has continued in that capacity during the last year. As usual the members rode every Friday as long as the weather would permit. The arrival of the snow and ice put only a temporary stop to their activities, for already they have made plans for the spring rides. As an innovation in the regular course. Saturday morning breakfast rides are being arranged. A club such as the Riding Club has a double value to its members. Not only is it an amusing and interesting get-together of congenial people, but it also serves as a class in one very healthful and valuable sport. lt is an extra-curricular activity that pays dividends.

STITIIEN IIDIIQIIQAIIPTIHIIIIIIILZ ILZIILIIUIIB The Stenographic Club has had a very successful year under the supervision of Mrs. Rae Thompson, the new teacher of Commercial subjects from Auburn. At the hrst meeting officers were elected. The members chose for president, Pauline Passg secretary, Shirley Conantg and treasurer, Marguerite Martin. It was decided to sell candy at recess in order to raise money. One of the few unhappy events of the year was the automobile accident suffered by Virginia Dandeneau, one of our members. To make her weeks happier and easier in the hospital the club sent her flowers, a basket of fruit for Thanksgiving, a gold cross for a Christmas present, and a shower of cards. Everyone was glad when she came back to school, well and happy. In the earlier part of the year the club purchased a shorthand dictionary for use in the class and for future shorthand classes. At Thanksgiving time an assembly program was presented by the members, featuring a play called f'Turkey Red. The members who took part were Muriel Swett, mistress of ceremoniesg Theresa .-Xube, Marguerite Martin, Arline Nelson, Delia Dyer, Patricia Gallant and Ora Gallant. Mrs. Thompson directed the play. :Xt Christmas, a Christmas party was held, to which each girl brought a ten-cent gift. Games were played and refreshments were served. Miss Groves, Mrs. Thompson, and Miss Davis were special guests. Another event during the winter was a skating party at Riverside, heartily enjoyed by everyone present. Miss Matthews and Miss Davis were the chaperones. The Stenographic Club has had a busy, profitable, and enjoyable year. THEATER CLUB OFFICERS Standing right 'co left: WARREN STAPLES Presldentl ELOISE PERKI KS-ecretaryl, GEORGE HAGUE Sergeant at arms, MARY ERA' Hreasurerj, and GEORGE CRAIGIE lVuce President IPLIIEIIFTIHILIIE IJFIHWIIEQNIIEIIQIIE UUIIUIUIIB Although the Little Theater Club has not been particularly active this year, it has accomplished its aim to render some service or gift to the school. With the efficient guidance of Mrs. Frances Wight, faculty adviser, and the help of the club's officers- Warren Staples, president, George Craigie, vice-president, Eloise Perkins, secretary, Mary Fraser, treasurer-the club bought a balopticon machine for the use of the school. To obtain the balance of the money needed to pay for it, members sold cocoanut cakes for Armistice Day. At various intervals during the year the club also sold candy and sandwiches at recess to acquire funds. At the beginning of the year twenty-eight new members were admitted to its roll. They were initiated at Thanksgiving time at a party held in the school auditorium. Everyone, taking all tricks played on them very lightly, seemed to have an enjoyable time. The club feels a certain gratification in the progress that the library has made this year under the supervision of Mary Fraser, head librarian. We all believe that this project, begun by the Little Theater Club several years ago, will become a still more valuable asset to the school with the future cooperation of the pupils. Little may have been heard of the club this year, but it feels confident that the school has recognized the services it has given. Eloise Perkins, '40.

Nl IIU S Ill IL? Music is a common interest among the young people ot today Nearly nine out ot ten have a victrola and many ot the outstanding recordings ot the day Ot course most ot these records have swing arrangements: but it you will pause to consider you will perceive that many ot the classics by the tamous masters, such as Isle ot May talcen from TschaiIcowsIcy's Ninth Symphony, and I8th Century Drawing Room talcen trom Mozart, are being modernized and are becoming very popular with the younger set. An appreciation tor the classics has not been lost, however, as can be seen by the large attendance ot boys and girls at the Cilee Club and the Orchestra in the school This year, because ot an illness ot our tormer teacher, Miss Lorraine Lombard the music groups have enjoyed several new teatures under the leadership ot our present teacher M iss Faith Wfoodbury. Several special choral groups have been selected trom the Glee Club the most important being a trio ot pertectly blended voices consisting ot Ruth Aslcer soprano June Caron, second soprano: and Janet Daley, alto. This group has on numerous occa sions, sung betore the school assembly and various clubs in Westbrook At Christmas the whole Glee Club, trom which special solos and numbers were chosen, combined with the Speech Class and presented a very enjoyable assembly During the last tew years, the schools in Maine have broadcast on the program Maine Schools On the Air. Both the Glee Club and the Orchestra talfe active parts in this program. The orchestra has also entertained several clubs this year and will play at the One-Act Play Contest as well as at several other important events An annual event which is enjoyed by all is the Field Day with Gorham This year instead ot Gorham music clubs coming to Westbrook, our clubs will go to Gorham where a whole day will be spent in practicing, dancing, playing games having refresh ments, and enjoying a general good time. ART CLUB Sitting left to right: LOUIS DOBSON, JR., FREDERICK WHITWORTH, DAVID STONE, and BARBARA WANING. Standing left to right: EDXWARD MCDADE, NORMAN SWETT, ROXIE KENNEY, JACK SPILLER, DOROTHY DAVIS, DOROTHY FISH, SHIRLEY LIBBY, and GABRIELLE THIBAULT. as A IQ III Art Editor interviewing some members of the Art class-DOROTHY FISH, LOUIS DOBSON, DAVID STONE. Editor: I'm glad to find you three here. I wonder if you would give me some data of work you have covered this year. Lou: Color was the first project. Scales were made showing the primary and secondary colors and their myriad values. Next came lettering of various types, such as the commercial type, which was used in the Kiwanis Poster Contest. Dot: Dick Chapman won first prize of 35.00 and Donald Warming second of 33.00. I remember the next thing was nature studies, in which we applied water colors, crayons, or pencil shades in three values. From this came a very interesting development-the Tree of Life done in crayonettes on cloth. Many of the members liked this best of all the varied projects. Then we did object drawings in water colors and pencil techniques in line, shade, and value. What are you making such a fuss about, David? Dav: Oh, I just wanted to say that Shirley Libby is doing well on those manikin designs for the Home Economics class. Lou: Don't forget to add that she is planning to be a dress designer. Editor: I won't forget. Dot, what did you like most this year? Dot: That's hard to say. But I think it was the casting of a hand. Barbara Waning's hand was the model. I remember how worried she got for fear the plaster of Paris would harden under her finger nails. Louis, what was the next step after the hand was removed from the cast? Lou: It was treated with antique bronze. This process is the same as used by sculptors in the recasting of a statue. Dav: Don't forget to tell about our pins. You know this is the first year the class has had them. They are designed especially for art students. Editor: Yes, I have seen several members wearing them. Now, as you are the oldest mem- ber, Louis, have you anything special you would like to add? Lou: The freshmen of today cannot appreciate their great privilege of working with Mr. Sterling any more than we seniors do. sciiimicn ln addition to the prescribed courses, the science classes have lately undertaken extra activities which are allied to the required courses, and which are designed to widen the knowledge and the experience of the pupils. Some of these activities are projects covering and putting into practice what the student has learned, and excur- sions providing him with a broader view of his subject. In pursuance of this idea the senior, junior, and the sophomore girls, who have been taking astronomical geography, visited the Portland Weather Bureau. There they were shown how different instruments are read: and the fundamentals of their classroom studies were put into practice. They were privileged to see weather records dating back to I876 and the records to I938. This is especially interesting because it concerns reports and facts about weather affecting us. Indeed, what is more interesting and important to us than the weather? The senior physics class, on their annual Boston trip, visited, first of all, the Ford Plant. The boys were all interested in seeing how scientific appliances were used on the assembly line, where every part was fitted to one ten-thousandth of an inch. A Ford is literally slapped together in forty-seven minutes. lt might be interesting to note that the entire plant, covering an acre, is run by electricity generated in the Ford Power Plant. The intense heat in the blast furnace is kept at five thousand degrees, just enough heat to fry your breakfast egg. Next they visited the Harvard and Peabody Museums, where such relics as mum- mies, petrified and mounted animals were seen. They also saw glass flowers and replicas of many different kinds of vegetation and fossils in glass. Not only outside activities are planned, for twice a week the physics and chemistry classes spend their entire class period in their respective laboratories. In the physics laboratory they actually work with gravity and its causes. They learn to read many instruments such as the barometer and the vernier and micrometer calipers. The chem- istry laboratory classes work mostly with chemicals. They also do some distilling of alcohol and other compounds. As extra work, they have been studying photography, and each pupil has a chance to develop and print films and pictures. One can safely say that science is not only the nucleus of learning, but a study of everyday problems and a chance for practical, as well as enjoyable excursions and activities. The Qommeireiiall Department The year's work in the various classes of the Commercial Department has heen unusually good. The typewriting classes were faced with a rather ditiicult situation in the junior division. The twenty-nine typcwriters and ninety odd juniors had to he skillfully manoeuvred to till the requirements. llespite this inconvenience, the classes did very well under the guidance of Bliss Davis and Bliss Groves. Thirty- tive students have received the Gregg typing awards hy which typing progress is noted. The seniors, likewise, have done well. Many of them have received their certificates for forty and fifty words a minute. The following received pins for tifty: lidna lieruhe, .Xlice Keating. Ura tlallant. .Xrline Nelson and Charles lloulanger. The stenographic girls have done very well this year, working for the awards for the sixty and eighty words a tninute transcriptions. The whole class passed the sixty words a minute transcription test and Shirley Conant received a pin for the paper with the fewest errors. lfor the eighty words a minute transcription test the following girls received the awards: lfdna lieruhe, Gloria lioissonneau, lfleanor lieuteau, Shirley Conant, Patricia Gallant, Ura Gallant, Teresa Kfckloney, .Xrline Nelson. Lorraine Randall. Ruth lfenderson and Kluriel Bfarsters. lidna lierulme received a pin for the hest test. The department. this year as always. has endeavored to secure for its pupils the hest in equipment and methods. .Xt least three interesting devices have heen used to aid the pupils' understanding of the worlt. The following are notahle: the department recently joined the Teachers' Kids lfxcltange of California, which pro- vides information ahout recent trends in education: three moving picture shorts presented information ahout husiness machines. tlregg shorthand, and typewritingi a magazine called The Clinic, puhlished hy the lixchange contains tests on Gregg dictation, transcriptions, office practice. and lmusiness letters. and also provides speed tests in typing. The vear's record has been satisfactory in many ways and even unusually good in certain classes. .Xlthough sotne of the classes were rather large. the efficiency of the courses and the teachers seemed little hampered. Industrial Visitors make many gratifying comments on the machines made in our shop under the supervision ot our instructor, Mr. Boyce. Each boy has a certain job to do and can feel proud when someone admires that machine. The present industrial division takes much pleasure in the tact that it has been partly responsible tor a great improvement in the machine shop, that is, in the lighting ot the shop, which betore was rather inadequate. We now have general overhead lighting and interchangeable lights on each machine. This makes our work less tiresome on very dark days. In the pattern shop, under the supervision ot Mr. Alden, some ot the boys have made patterns: while others have made articles ot turniture, such as desks, bookcases, and cedar chests. A few ot the boys have made skiis and toboggans. The sheet metal course, which is comparatively new to us, has been very progressive this year. A large ventilator, which was placed in the Rocky Hill School, was built in this shop. The work attorded the boys an opportunity to see how sheet metal construction on a large scale is done, The general work in this shop consists ot drawing sheet metal problems and construction. Articles, such as pails, tunnels, pipe elbows, and waste baskets, have been made. Mr. Burnham is our sheet metal instructor. Comments like the following can be appreciated by every pupil ot Westbrook High School. One employer writes: Our relations with the Westbrook High School are excellent. The character, scholastic rating, and mechanical ability ot these graduates trorn our apprentice courses is lOO'ff,,. Home Economics Home Nursing and First Aid hold an important place in the Home Economics Course. The Junior Foods Uniforms. Childrens Clothes made by the Seniors. Table convenient to use in hanging skirts. In the early days of our country a girl was thought to be sutticiently educated if she was well-trained in the art of homeniaking. Now. although a girl needs education in many other branches, homemaking is still considered the most important vocation for women. It is the purpose of our Home Economics Department to give this training. In addition to doing their classroom and laboratory work, the girls in the junior and senior classes do three or more home projects a year. such as arts and crafts, preparing suppers or dinners, and making over their wardrobes. These projects may be of the girls' own choosing. .-Xs has been the custom since this course was instituted, the senior girls prepared and served it Thanksgiving dinnerg and to complete the holiday spirit, they packed and sent out boxes of food to less-fortunate families. This year the senior girls gave a Christmas Tea for their parents and the faculty. lt was a new undertaking for them, but it proved very successful. The Home Economics rooms were attractively decorated in keeping with the holiday season. The juniors arranged an exhibit in a store window of some of the best-looking clothes made. This gave people an opportunity to see the type of work done by the class. The children's garments, which the seniors are making at the present time are to be dis- played at the State Vocational Home Economics meeting for teachers, to be held in Portland. We Find the aid of the practice teachers very helpful to both the student and the teacher. The following girls have been here this year: Anna Simpon and Carolyn Calderwood, both ot the University of Maine: and Mary Proctor and Methyl tiiddings from lfarmington State Xormal School. No girl will make a mistake in choosing the home economics course. L ....y 1 1 1 ' it a 15553535 e yt. -sa -. N 's SPEECH mg t t right: SHIRLIE LALIME, MERLE GOFF, and MADELINE McALONEY.

Manchester Post of the Ameri- can Legion has supported the speaking contest in our school. At that time, two silver cups are presented to the first and second prize winners. This year, from a class of twenty, six were chosen to compete on April 4th, They were Ruth Asker, Shirlie Lalime, Madeline Mc!-Xloney, Barbara Brown, Calvin Knowlton and Merle Goff. Miss Lalime won lirst prize: Mr. Knowlton, second. Honor- able mention went to Miss Asker. Miss Lalime will represent Westbrook High School in the district contest, to be held at Gorham. Besides this contest, members of the Speech Class also compete in XV. C. T. U. contests when there are enough pupils interested for the club to sponsor it. Last year both Marguerite Martin and Warren Staples won W. C, T. U. con- tests. Miss Martin received a silver pin for the first contest, Mr. Staples, a silver pin and a gold one as second and Hrst prizes in local contests. He also gained first place in the state competition and secured a pearl pin. There are also several speaking contests given at the University of Maine and an oratory competition at Colby College, which we hope some of our speech students will enter. Besides its regular activities this year, the class had charge of the Christmas assembly. Many of our students took part in presenting The Nativity. We feel proud of the progress we have made under the direction of Mrs. Frances Wight, and believe we have gained great benefit from the work we have done.

TID IQ A ini A -A-A This year, Mrs. Hatch, our efficient dramatics coach, has real cause to rejoice. The annual assembly play was a great success, and the One-Act Play Contest was exciting and entertaining. The classes and individuals worked together for real harmony and accomplishment. Growing Pains, the assembly play, was presented in the fall. .X capacity audience attended and saw Calvin Knowlton outdo himself, and cover the night with thespian glory. The popular play was fun even for the cast. Another innovation this year is the combining of the several classes into one cast for the One-Act Play Contest. The play, Andante, presented by Helene Sawyer, llernice Knight, Hugh Craigie, George Craigie and Merle Golf took second prize in the contest at Deering High School. The faithful members of the backstage crew should not be forgotten, for they play a larger part than most people realize. The stage managers, Lloyd Leighton and Harold jordan: their assistants, George lirown and llarry lYatson: and the electrician. Louis Dobson, aided greatly in the production of Growing Pains. The beautiful setting which the audience marveled at was built by these people under the supervision of Mr. Alden. Elizabeth lfurbish, the business manager, was most energetic in her ticket sales, and her assistants helped wonderfully. The old-timers and the neophytes are alike looking forward to the Scholastic Club's Contest this year and to next year's plays. We hope that Vtlestbrook lIigh's talent, under Mrs. Hatch's direction, will rise to new heights in the years to come. llllllll lllllllllllllHIlllllllllllllH1llllllllllllll!lllllllllllllHIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllVIII!lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll IllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIlllllllllIlllllllllllHlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll HlllllllllllllIllllllIllllllllI4llllillllllVIIIllllIIIlllllIllllllVII!llllIlllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllHlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll FOOTBALL The Blue Blazes under the direction of Coach Frederic Harlow for the first time, showed surprising power against the larger teams which they are forced to meet year after year. They won the respect of cvery team which they played for their never-say-diell spirit. lt is not hard to see that the new system introduced by Coach Harlow has resulted in the marked improvement of the team. He was helped by the return ot eight lettermen. Westbrook's only victory of the season was over Biddeford High, IO to 6. As was usually the case, Westbrook was forced to come from behind to score. Orcutt, recovering a Biddeford fumble on their l5-yard line, raced to the IO before he was pulled down by half the Biddie team. Three plunges placed the ball on the ten-inch line. On the next play Bucka Beaumier dived over the goal to tie the game, 6-6. Marcel Peachwall, inserted to kick the point-after-touchdown, picked up his blocked kick and ran with it over the line to give his team a 7 to 6 margin. Then, with less than a minute to play, it was Peachwall who kicked a perfect field-goal from the nineteen-yard line to complete the Westbrook score. We hope that by next fall the new athletic field will be completed. We feel that the team this year would have gained a much better record if it had been possible for them to play their home games before their home-town fans. The boys who received letters were K. Fish lcaptainl, R. Blake, R. Theriault lcaptain-elcctl, R. Lachance, E. Christensen, H. Orcutt, A. Taylor, M. Dyer, L. Kenney, R. Leconte, P. Gouzie, R. Quinn, J. lngraham, F. Raymond, B. Witham, L. Stickney, C. McClure, E. Beaumier, F. Bernier, and M. Peachwall. Ken Fish was chosen as end on the All-Maine team, and Rene Theriault and Maurice Dyer received honorable mention at their respective positions of center and halfback. Next year Coach Harlow will have a solid foundation upon which to build his team. Of the above mentioned lettermen, Lachance, Christensen, Blake, Fish, Orcutt, and Taylor will be lost by graduation. i- , Y ,YW , - BASKETBALL The l94O basketball team did not meet with the success that had been expected ot them. The boys started the year rather poorly and seemed unable to tind the winning combination. The team tor the most part was made up ot lettermen trom last year's group. Sad to relate, these men lacked the height and weight that have been so badly needed on Westbrook teams tor the past iew years. There were a tew large boys, but they lacked the experience needed on the varsity squad. The season was not without its highlights, however, tor the boys played some very close games. Santord had a very ditticult time deteating them. As the season wore on, they steadily improved and the addition ot Small at the halt was just the spark they needed. A Westbrook High team that had been shunted around all season rose to heroic heights at South Portland, when they matched the top-ranking Capers point tor point until nearly the end of the game, but then bowed 30 to 28. Small, Lachance, and Fish were the outstanding scorers: and Barbour and Theriault played great defensive games. Two ot our men held select positions in the individual scoring ratings tor the Southwestern Maine Conterence. They were Grover Barbour in ninth place with lOl points, and Captain Ken Fish in twenty' ninth place with 62 points. The following boys received letters: Ken Fish, captain, Grover Barbour, Wayne Small, Rene Theriault, Alan Taylor, Romeo Lachance, Wyvern Jaques, Emmert Christensen, Harry Watson, Russel Blake, Leland Kenny, and Donald Doyle. R. Spiller, lngraham, Hague, L. Lachance, Stickney, Littlefield, Jordan, Vigeant, Kay, and Emery ,played well tor the second team and will make excellent material tor tuture teams. Ot the lettermen, only Jaques, Lachance, Fish, Christensen, Blake, and Taylor will be lost by graduation. With the return ot six lettermen and nine players who have received valuable experience on the second team, Coach Harlow should have a team that will put basketball back in its normal place in Westbrook.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL The end ot this year's basketball season brought to both players and students the realization that intramural basketball was not quite the success that had been anticipated. Neither the girls nor the students were quite as responsive to the class games as had been hoped. The experiment and change ot torm proved very valuable in many other ditterent ways however. Intramural basketball, in which the girls play within the school by classes, was considered an excellent way to rouse spirit in the school and to build up a strong varsity tor next year. Each class had its own team composed ot girls eager to become the outstanding school team. The winning team or the All School Team received letters, and the other girls received their class numerals and charms. ln order to be chosen for the All School Team the player had to have a total ot 55 points, gained by following the set ot rules such as passing in all their subjects. There are certain points in tavor ot both interscholastic and intramural basket- ball. The intramural system gives the coach a wider variety from which to choose the next varsity. In interscholastic games, only a tew girls, perhaps six or seven, have a real chance to play because all the ettort must be concentrated on building one unit strong enough to defeat the other schools, and the coach has no chance to build up the next year's team because she has to put all time and ettort in building up the present school team. There is, on the other hand, one big point in interscholastic's tavor: more students are interested in it and more students will attend the gatnes. The outside competition arouses the school spirit. The lack oat student cooperationwas the biggest disappointment to the team this year. Next year better results are expected. The basketball girls held a special meeting at the beginning ot the season and voted unanimously tor intramural basketball. They have had another meeting recently to decide what they are to play next year, and they are all tor interscholastic. The reason tor their change ot mind was tully outlined above. The coach, Miss Stevens, is not altogether disappointed with this year's work because she has built up a good varsity tor next year and she teels pleased and satisfied that she has given every girl a chance to play. The juniors were the final winners ot all the school games played. They won their last game, the play-ott between the juniors and seniors, with a score ot I I-IO. The captains ot the tour class teams are: Edna Berube-seniors: Madeline Mc- Aloney-juniors: Esther Libby-sophomores: and Grace Robinson-freshmen. The letters usually awarded the Varsity Team go to the all-school team, chosen by Miss Matthews, Miss Stevens, Mr. l-larlow, and Mr. Philbrook. The other teams received their numerals. The girls chosen tor the All School Team are: Delia Dyer, Edna Berube, Virginia l-lale, seniors: Madeline McAloney, junior: and Mary Carver, sophomore. Q BASEBALL y Westbrook High, defending champions of the Telegram League, set out upon their I939 campaign with but one idea in mind-to bring home another league title. Coach Crozier had reason' to be cone fident, however, for he had a good stock of veterans returning. Among them were Dick Whitman, Bill Aube, Warren Merrill, Johnny Grovo,.Ralph Littlefield, Armand Daley, Chump Belanger, and Mel Deroche. Besides these there were boys who had moved up from the second team of the year before. Deering, Biddeford, Cheverus, Thornton, and South Portland fell before the superb pitching of Whitman, Littlefield, and Grovo. Portland gave Westbrook their first defeat of the vear, I0 to 6, and Sanford kept the ball rolling by edging them 6 to 4. Westbrook came bouncing back to defeat Port- land 4 to 3, but were forced to succumb to Deering's Ernie Bowler, 6 to 2. Thornton rallied in the ninth to edge out a 7 to 6 victory. Two days later the boys shellacked Biddeford, I2 to 5, at the Biddies' home field. In this game Bill Aube hit two home-runs to bring his total to three for the season. West- brook came back after ten innings to break a 2-2 tie and defeat South Portland, 6 to 2. Cheverus had little trouble in defeating Westbrook, 5 to 2, behind the one-hit pitching of Danny Donnahue, ace Cheverus hurler. The final game of the season was played with Sanford at the Warren Park. The Sanford club was forced to play a brilliant defensive game to defeat the hard-hitting Westbrook cluster, 4 to 2. Dick Whitman, pitching his last game for Westbrook High, pitched a fine, five-hit ball game. Despite the fact that we lost six games, the team ended the season in third place in the Telegram League. Bill Aube was selected for the annual All-Telegram team for his great hitting and alleround play at first base. Lettermen were R. Whitman and M. Merrill lco-captainsl, A. Aube, R. Belanger, R. Hamblen, J. Grovo, M. Deroche, R. Blake, R. Littlefield, D. Poitras, A. Taylor, W. Small, R. Quinn, and Clyde Hamblen imanagerl. Of these, all, with the exception of Aube, Whitman, Merrill, Belanger, Hamblen, Deroche, and Grovo, are back this year to form a nucleus of what we hope will be another Telegram League Champion. KEN FISH, '40, TENNIS Tennis is a sissy's game, is a statement taken too seriously in West- brook High School. More power to those tennis enthusiasts who take no heed ot such remarks, who play the game tor the love ot good comradeship, and who play with all their vigor and strategy tor Westbrook High. In i935 a group ot these tennis enthusiasts formed what was to be known as the first Westbrook High School Tennis Team. Because it was comprised ot men who had never betore played together, this team lacked the punch to win many ot its matches. However, in l938, it became a well- organized and etiective team under the excellent coaching ot Burton Smart and Phillip Bachelder. Led by Chester Doyle, captain, and Palmer Ingalls, manager, the team ot I939 hit a new high in wins from such opponents as: Deering High, Portland High, Portland Junior College, Bridgton Acad- emy, Edward Little High, Morse High and Brunswick High. Jack Spiller, Byron Pride, Robert Knight and Hollis Orcutt made up the rest ot the team. Although the team won no tirst places in the Southwestern Maine Tourney, the players gained valuable experience-perhaps enough tor a champion- ship next year. We tennis enthusiasts predict l94O to be a brilliant tennis year tor Westbrook High School. An outstanding tennis team can be built around the three veterans returning this season. Already spring indoor practice has commenced at the Cumberland Hall Gymnasium. These indoor sessions should give the team that old zip which it will need to win its first match with Edward Little High on May 8. s lil A L U M Nil Ladies and gentlemen, this year represented at our Alumni ROUND TABLE is a cross section of the population of this great paper city. Our object is to obtain the opinion of Westbrook people in general in regard to our school and its pupils, the courses, and the extra-curricular activities. Please bear in mind that we are asking for an honest opinion and remember that flattery is objectionable. We have with us a housewife, a member ofthe first graduating class of Westbrook High School, a promi- nent doctor, a graduate of Standish High School, and a secretary, a minister, and a mill supervisor. The first guest is a member of the class of l883, the earliest graduating class of Westbrook High School, Mrs. Howard Parker--Mrs. Parker. Although the courses in the high school today are very valuable and offer much opportunity to the students, the students are overworked. During my high school years only three studies were allowed without special permission. Extra-curricular activities are very much like candy-they may be beneficial and enjoyable but are apt to occupy too much of the student's time. However, the schools of today are much improved over those of half a century ago. Thank you, Mrs. Parker. And now we have a graduate of Standish High School to offer an outsider's opinion-Mr. Roy Lombard. The school and the students are O. K. but I think football should be dropped from the sports activities. To the extra-curricular activities the addition of a gym class should be very beneficial. Thank you, Mr. Lombard. Perhaps if more boys who are able would participate in sports, we should not have to consider Mr. Lombard's suggestion at all. The next on our list is Mrs. Lloyd Libby, a graduate of Westbrook High, now doing secretarial work. The school with its new addition has become more interesting to the students and gives them a chance to entertain the public on a par with larger schools. The extra-curricular activities are fine and planned well. ln the regular courses, Home Eco- nomics should be made an encouraged part of a girl's education. If all the able-bodied students would show more interest in sports, much prestige could be added to the school. Thank you, Mrs. Libby. Our next guest is a former chairman of the School Board, Dr. Granville Shibles- Dr. Shibles. An opportunity for collective assembly where you can get dissemination of ideas is always a benefit. Our new auditorium affords this opportunity. Sports should be encouraged and participated in, until it reaches the point where they begin to inter- fere with our educational system, because we must look to the physical side of our educational advancement as well as the mental. An extra-curricular activity wherein various phases of education should be put into practical use, such as commercial stu- dents working in an office one day a week, would be beneficial. And now we have as our next speaker the Reverend Edwin Carter-Reverend Mr. Carter. Pupils seem to have more freedom in expression and behavior in this age than previously. l believe this is beneficial if it means a more intimate friendship between students, between faculty and students, and if it enables the pupil to consider all sides of various questions without prejudice. lf, however, this freedom results in careless attitudes, disrespect, etc., pupils should not be allowed that privilege. The courses in the high school of today seem to be richer and finer in content. The later methods of teaching and the new textbooks have an advantage over the school of the past. l believe that there should be some method by which the teachers of the various courses would agree to correlate their amount of homework assigned for a given day. Because of that extra pressure put on a student today to finish the work, the student should be allowed to have a minimum of homework and a minimum of extra-curricular. Many of the present extra-curricular activities should be discontinued. Physical education should be added to the regular system of education so that all may parti- cipate in it. Thank you very much, Mr. Carter. The final speaker this year is a Bowdoin gradu- ate, Mr. Clifford T. Perkins. l am of -the opinion that the high school of today, on the average, attempts to give the pupil a greater variety of subjects and activities than the average city or town appropriation can cover adequately. During my high school days the facilities were sufficient for all fundamentals. l believe that the average or below-average stu- dent received more personal attention and guidance than is the case today. The teach- ers and pupils, however, did not have so many diversions in my time. Because of that fact l do not recall that there was so much pressure put on students in covering within a stated period the then existing requirements. lf athletics be included in extra-curricular activities, l consider it a very desirable department, but shall not be satisfied until again there are funds to permit greater participation indoors and outdoors with proper supervision. Under restricted appropria- tions in face of necessary economy, l believe a long term program should be laid which would have as its goal, not only greater participation by students, but also a stimula- tion of interest among townspeople to support the sports, occasionally by cash, but generally by attendance, constructive criticism, and encouragement to the teams. Thank you very much, Mr. Perkins. This ends our interviews for the year, ladies and gentlemen, and l hope something has been learned from them. Many thanks to the people interviewed for their kind cooperation in making this friendly chat possible. T To .. Tx? H-r-WI MASTER OF HIS ART Antonio worked diligently on the engraving which lay before him. His thin, clever fingers worked quickly but surely with the scalpel. The shadeless light, which hung just above his head, cast elongated shadows, which danced about the already cheerless room. The only sounds audible were the intermittent scraping of Antonio's knife and the steady drone of a fly, fighting a losing battle with the glaring light. A confident smile spread over Antonio's face as he laid down his tool, brushed some of the refuse from the plate, and held his work at an angle to admire it. Someday he would be famous for his works. Joseph, who had been Antonio's teacher, had said so, just before he went away. Those fools who had told him his works were uselessl They soon would be at his feet, willing to pay any price for his carvings. Continuing with his work, Antonio sat quietly for another half hour. Then he slowly rose from his bench and crossed the room, stroking his masterpiece gently. Placing a small piece of paper over his work, he carefully fed it between the two rollers of the old press, which filled one corner of the room. He waited several long minutes, watch- ing anxiously each movement of the machine. Finally the paper emerged. Quickly snatching it, Antonio examined the copy carefully. Tears filled his bloodshot eyes, and after several moments of silence he broke into a nervous state of laughter. At last he had gained success! At last he had succeeded in making a flawless one hundred dollar bill. WARREN STAPLES, '-io. IDYLLS OF THE SPRING Mr. Algernon Watts walked jauntily along the street. His 52.95 green hat with the white brush was tipped back, showing a wide expanse of forehead. Indeed, Mr. Algernon Watts' forehead extended to the back of his neck, where his collar climbed to meet it. As he paused to put half a stick of gum into his mouth, his collar shone in the lamplight. His blue serge suit ltor it was Spring and Mr. Algernon Watts had felt the Call and had gone without his overcoatl also shone in the lamplight. He strode otf down the street, his wornover shoes scutfing delightedly on the sidewalk. Mr. Algernon Watts, whistling Love in Bloom ltor it was Spring and he had telt the Call and had thought of Lovel, smiling between clampings of teeth on gum, climbed the steps to the rooming house where roomed Miss Mabel Blotz. lThat was not her full name.l He glanced about turtively and then stuck the index hnger of his right hand on the doorbell and pushed. He was let in. Miss Mabel Blotz, wearing her most seductive gown, a 55.95 creation from the house of Macy ltor it was Spring and Miss Blotz had telt the Call, and instead ot April Showers, light and airy, was wearing My Sin, heavy and sensuousl, took the green hat with the white brush and bestowed it tenderly in the closet with her own soup-dish. A She then said, sweetly and inditferently, Hello, darling. Mr. Algernon Watts, smoothing back his forehead with his hand, looked at her meltingly. He leaned toward her and breathed throatily, Hi. Mabel looked at him, puzzled. Are you worried, pet? she inquired. You seem preoccupied. Mr. Watts' brow creased and he sighed. Nervously he crossed one knee over the other. Ah, my dear, have you been working too hard? asked Miss Blotz, solicitously. Your brow creases and you sigh. Nervously you cross one knee over the other. What is the matter? Suddenly Mr. Algernon Watts had an Inspiration. He had come tonight with something on his mind, and he now saw a way of getting it oti. He spoke. Mabel, let's pretend! I am a lawyer and you are a witness. That will give me practice. Slightly disappointed lfor it was Springl, Miss Blotz nevertheless said cheerily, comfortingly, O. K. Kid. Algernon creased his brow and cleared his throat. Then he glanced at Mabel from under his eyebrows. She giggled. Your full name? he barked. She was kittenish. Why, Algie, as it you didn't know. Mabel Alicia Victoria Blotz. He winced, but recovered bravely. Age? was his next question. Thirt-er-twenty-six, she gulped. Slyly he asked, Employed? Trustingly she looked at him. Candidly she replied. Uh-huh, she said. What is your salary? he thundered. Twenty-tive a week, she snipped, not to be outdone. Dollars? was his crafty whisper. Yes. Hm-m, better than I-er-now, Miss Blotz- Mabel to you, darling. But go ahead and practice. I don't mind, she added, magnanimously. Yes, Mabel. lHe remembered the Spring, but thought better of it. Continue and reach the ultimate end, Algie, he thought.l Where were you on the nights of April the third, fourth, titth, sixth, and seventh? he 'Fired at her. She thought a moment. She was not a hasty person. With you, was her answer. Algie beamed. Coming right along. Remember that, he cautioned. Now, Mabel, you are the party of the first part, and I am the party of the second part. Mabel was becoming tired of being a witness. Then she remembered one advan- tage that witnesses always have. She raised her skirt an inch. Algernon continued. The party of the second part, being of legal age and of sound mind, having- He noticed the lifted skirt and it was Spring. No. Bravely he struggled on. -having become enamoured of the party of the first part, and wishing to terminate the state of bachelorhood under which he has heretofore existed, hereby, to wit, and moreover asks the party of the first part if she will enter into part- nership- He paused, out of breath. Mabel, trying to be helpful, remarked, Business deal, Algie? -thereby establishing the corporation of Watts and Blotz- He ran down. Mabel wrinkled her brow prettily. Oh, dear, Algie, she murmured, now you've got me all confused. What kind of business? Are you serious? She crossed her Iegs. Algie took out a pink handkerchief and mopped his brow-'way back to the collar. Of course I'm serious, he ejaculated. I'lI rephrase the question. Will the party of the first part take the party of the second part-? Now Mabel was confused. Take you where, dear? she interrupted, determined to keep up with the conversation. Algie stamped his worn-over right shoe. Oh: well, Mabel! Will you marry me? he shouted. Mabel smiled secretly-a woman's smile, for it was Spring. AIgie! Kiss me! Algernon Watts grew stern. Now, Miss Blotz, that's irrelevant, incompetent, and im-well, maybe it's not, after all. Court adjourned! he yelped, and rushed to her side. llzor it was Spring.I G. CRAIGIE, '40. THE WORM TURNS Lem Perkins, the village peace officer, sat with his feet perched upon the guard rail of the pot-bellied station agent which was the central heating system of BaiIey's emporium of general merchandise, talking about the national debt with Clem Akins, owner of the local livery stable and feed company, when a large black sedan drove up bearing out-of-state plates. Looks like a couple of lady dudes, said Perkins. Yep, but look at those deer on the side, replied Akins. Let's josh 'em a bit, said Perkins, shooting a tobacco snowball at the sawdust box in the corner. When they neared the car, it was evident that both deer were shot squarely between the eyes. Do you Iay claim to one of these pelts, madam? inquired Perkins. Why-er, er, yes, answered the young lady. I am the sheriff around these parts and rather doubt your words, but I'II be glad to apologize if I am wrong, barked Perkins. After placing a pail on a rail twenty paces away, Perkins walked to the young woman, saying, Now, madam, please demonstrate. She leveled her rifle, fired! but-oh, oh-she could have done better with a rock. Again she tried with the same result, not even close. Why, madam, I would trust my watch on that fence raiI, chuckled Peck. With this he walked to the fence and stood his old stem winder upright on the rail. As Perkins was walking back, he called, O. K. Annie Okley. Do your stuff. She raised the rifle. Crack! The sheriff's watch was a goner. It had been scattered like confetti in a hail storm. WeII, Lone Ranger, I am afraid your Bulova will need a little regulating, said the young lady. With this she tossed him a small coin and walked to the car. Sheriff Perkins watched the car out of sight. Then partially recovering from his dazed condition, he Iooked at the coin. It was a medal inscribed as follows: Awarded to Miss Helen Hope, by the National Rifle Club for expert marksmanship for the years I936, '37, '38. CLAYTON TRIPP, '4-2. BLOOD BROTHERS bv BURTON B. WITHAM, JR., '4l It was raining, raining hard, and the wind howled around the corners and marquee of the New York Club d'Adventure, giving it a rather sinister appearance from without. Inside the exclusive club, several gentlemen sat quietly talking, smoking, and reading, sheltered from the storm. ' In one corner, gathered about the fireplace, which was sending flickering shadows across their faces, sat a younger group of men silently staring into the fire. One of these fellows suddenly looked up from his paper and addressed the others, Say, here's an interesting article. Listen! 'Blown Ridge, Mississippi. Four elderly eccentric negroes were arrested and jailed today on a charge of disturbing the peace, while attempting to foster a recurrence of the Voodoo Terrors of the slavery days. The meeting- place, deep in the marshes, was discovered by a pilot of a Iow-flying plane, who, noticing the fires in this uninhabited region, reported it to the police, who immediately proceeded to the scene in boats. When they arrived, they found several hundred negroes chanting weirdly and dancing to strange drum beats. The four men arrested proved to be Voodoo priests and will be held, pending arraignment in court.' He paused a moment, then exclaimed, What do you think of that? Silence followed a few Huh's and M-m-um's. Finally another of the members queried, What is Voodooism? Do any of you know anything about it? What about you, Mr. Marsters, you've been in Africa? Joe Marsters, prominent scientist, had been looking into the flames absent- mindedly and was startled to hear his name. g HuhI Me, oh-'er-ah, yes, I have, that was all he said, but the others sat, waiting patiently for him to continue. After a minute or so, one of the men spoke to him. Do you know anything about Voodooism? he asked. Marsters again turned to his companions and spoke slowly, dreamily, Yes, I believe I do know something about Voodooism. The men began to draw up their chairs, make themselves comfortable, and light their pipes. Marsters repeated, Yes, I believe I do know something about Voodooism. Let me tell you a story. As you know, two years ago I was sent by my company into Africa to study plant growth in the jungle. We Ieft New York March 4, l933, for the coastal town of Mayumba, where we arrived two weeks later. We forwarded gifts to the chieftain of Balodoa, where we were to make our headquarters, and started our trek across the jungle. When we finally arrived, with the help of the natives, we set up our laboratories and made ourselves at home. During these operations, I noticed one young native boy who seemed very much interested in our doings and whom I finally approached. 'Do you speak EngIish?' I asked. I'Ie answered in flawless English, 'Oh, yes, quite well, I think, sir.' I learned that he was the chieftain's son, Thala, and had been trained at Mayumba by a mission- ary and that he was about twenty-one. From that day on Thala and I saw more and more of each other. He used to follow me on my trips: he was tremendously anxious to learn about all the experiments: so I took him into my employ as a helper. I-Ie refused to be paid, saying it would be unworthy of him to accept payment for his blunders. All he wanted to do was to learn: so I taught him all I could and today, I daresay, Thala knows as much about botany as I do. I-Ie was remarkably brilliant. Well, as time passed, we grew fonder of each other and I felt that I had made an indispensable friend. In many ways this friendship was a great help to us, for through Thala we gained the respect and loyalty of the whole tribe, thus assuring us guides, protection from hostile tribes, and supplies. One day, while we were on a trip into the interior, I heard a scream and saw ThaIa's boat overturn in the crocodile infested river. Well, that wouIdn't have been too bad, because Thala was near shore and was a good swimmer, but he hit his head when he fell and was floating unconscious down stream. Why, I don't know, but I leaped into the river and managed to pull him ashore after I had lost four toes to a 'croc'. When Thala recovered consciousness, he vowed to be my servant forever. A few weeks later, Thala and his father came to me, and his father, a fat old man, spoke first, in broken English, 'Ma son tell me you save him life. You make 'blood brother,' old tribe custom.' Rather taken aback by this ultimatum, I turned to Thala and asked him what it meant. Thala acted rather bashful, but stammered, 'It seems that our tribe has a custom that when a man saves another man's life, the two must become blood brothers or bring bad luck upon them forever. I know this sounds strange to you but father insists.' What was I to do? I had to go through with it, and it did seem harmless. It was a simple but painful procedure. My left wrist and ThaIa's right were split and bound together for twelve hours, then cut apart. We were now blood brothers. To me it was queer but it strengthened my bonds with Thala and with the tribe, so that in the spring of I935, when the annual tribal rites of joining the ranks of the Voodoo were to be performed, I was asked by the chieftain to participate in the ritual and join with his son. At first I flatly refused, but after persistent visits I broke down and agreed. Why? First my desire to hold the faith of Thala and the tribe: second, my curiosity to see a real Voodoo meeting: and third my need to secure porters which would be difficult if I displeased the tribe. A few nights later, at the appointed time and place, I met Thala with the other young men of the tribe who were joining the order. We were led by a guide through the jungle to a great council fire. After being garbed in the traditional costume, we were led into a tent. An awful stench of burning oils permeated the atmosphere, drums beat outside, and the yells of dancing natives could be heard. When we were seated around the dimly lighted room, a drummer and witch doctor, or Voodoo priest, entered. The native pIedgees began to sing a low, strange chant, which I quickly picked up and joined in. As they continued singing for fifteen or twenty minutes, they began to increase the volume, and I wondered just what I had got myself into. The odor of sweating men now was filling the room. The witch doctor still danced and wailed to our song. After what seemed like hours, with the heat becoming unbearable, I felt like running out, but something held me there-perhaps the look of utter content- ment on the men's faces, the smile on Thala's, or still my curiosity. We sang and chanted all night and I don't mind saying I was exhausted. Just before dawn, the tempo decreased, and finally they stopped. We were sweating and tired. All I could hear was that haunting chant in my ears. I wondered what was coming now. The great fire was still burning outside and the tribe was drawn up around it. We were led out to the fire and were seated around it. Several natives then came with big rakes and hauled away the coals, leaving the red hot stones, while they danced wildly in gay colored costumes. I wondered but recoiled in horror. No! They couldn't do that, but just then the first in line, Thala, did do it. He walked across the red hot stones. 'I won't do itl I won't do itl' I cried. Two men on either side of me gave me a shove and I found myself going towards the stones, unable to stop. I felt the heat scorching my face. 'I can't do itl' I yelled. 'I can'tl' But to no avail. I gingerly stepped onto the first stone. IT DIDN'T I-IURT AT ALL. I continued across, bewildered. Of course there was some trick to it, there must have been: maybe those oils burning in the tent, the sheer exhaustion of our bodies or the sweat. I will never know. I was then told by Thala that I was now a member of the Voodoo. What about the walking dead? pin stick dolls? poison darts? witchcraft? you ask. Well, that phase of Voodooism is dead. Only the witch doctors know anything about it, although Thala told me that the witch doctors still possess strange powers to kill or heal. I don't know whether to believe it or not. We had just joined a jungle 'frat'. Probably those negroes in Mississippi were just joining their 'frat', not trying to revive the old horror of Voodooism. DISAPPOINTED .lack Winters snapped his booted foot onto his ridgetops, a pair of skis Schneider would be proud of, and crouched at the starting line. At the sound of the gong, Jack gave several powerful strokes with his poles, as he started down the worst ski run in the world, down Mt. Washington. In a very few seconds Jack was off the table-like top of the mountain and on the Cone, rapidly developing a speed of fifty miles an hour with the wind whistling past him, trying desperately to upset his equilibrium. The majority of the contestants went down, doing a series of looping Christies to check their speed: but not Jack. I-Ie was out to set a new record: so he had to take it straight. The crowd of enthusiasts relaxed after Jack was off the Cone and on the nearly level stretch of Alpine Garden. He was now approaching the reason why many of the worId's best skiers don't enter the contest, Tuckerman I-Ieadwall. Without losing a bit of speed, he daringly pointed his skies straight down, going into what could actually be called a power dive: but Jack had his hickories under perfect control as he steered a course between dan- gerously Iocated rocks and tumbled blocks of ice. The three thousand spectators held their breaths expecting any moment to see the young daredevil dashed against the rocks. Then Jack was off the Headwall and shooting steadily across the floor of the bowl over the drop of the Little Headwall into the woods at the entrance of the Ravine. The rest of the run was a snap for Jack. As he proudly crossed the finish line set- ting a new record, he was filled with an overwhelming sense of disappointment. A thin inquisitorial voice from the teacheris platform demanded Wintersl for the second time, what is an atom? PAUL ROBERTSON, '40, WHlSTLER'S MOTHER ALAN TAYLOR, '40 lt was Saturday afternoon. Will Clements was stretched out in the most comfort- able easy chair he could find, reading the latest Wild West magazine. l-le heard his wife enter by way of the back door as he peered into the last leaves of the western thriller. Being thus occupied by the bloodiest gun battle in many a month, he felt no obligation to enter the kitchen and greet his wife. The rumple of paper and the moving of a heavy object met his ears. Soon his wife called him into the kitchen. Be there in a second, honey, he replied, just as soon as l read this last page. After he had completed his reading, he laid aside his magazine and strode into the kitchen. Before him sat an oil painting of Whistler's Mother. What in tarnation is that, may l ask? he exclaimed in a questioning voice. Oh, just something I bought at the auction, Hattie Clements explained unctu- ouslyq l think l'll have it hung over the fireplace in your den. Yes, that would be the very place for it. Don't you just adore it, Will? No, l don't adore it, was the answer, and l won't have it cluttering up my den. One-halt hour later found him busily preparing to hang the picture over the fire- place. lnto the den he came dragging Whistler's Mother, along with some stout wire, picture hangers, hammer, and step ladder. He mounted the ladder and started measurements but found that he had forgotten his ruler. ln a few minutes he was back again marking the sites for the hangers. Next, he decided to fix them securely to the wall. The first blow of his hammer hit the nail squarely on the head. llsn't it a shame it was his thumb nail?l Will roared with pain and sought many adjectives with which to compliment his aim. l-lis second blow made a clean hole in the wall. Oh, well, a little plaster will mend that, he muttered to himself as he contem- plated his next move. It took him only two hours to nail the hangers fast, what with the plastering, nail straightening, and remeasuring he had to do. Whew, l'm glad that's done, he breathed as he set about to hang the picture. Now for the easy part. Once again he mounted the ladder, this time with Whistler's Mother in his arms. May l borrow the ladder a second, dear? inquired his wife as he stepped upon the mantel over the fireplace. Of course, you may, he returned. l won't need it for a while yet. Little did he realize his position when he made this statement. There he was, back to the wall, clinging to Whistler's Mother for dear life. The mantel was too narrow to allow turning space, so he just stood there helplessly. Finally it dawned upon him to call for assistance. Hattie, he yelled, come and help me. Hattie, where are you? Where are you, WiII? returned Hattie. Well, of all things, Willard V. Clements, what in heaven's name are you doing with that picture? she exclaimed in an exasperated tone. I'm not waltzing with it, came an angered reply. Shall I get the ladder? By gum, if you don't WhistIer's Mother is going to be lying on the floor in pieces, growled Will, as he shifted his weight to his left foot to lessen the burden. At this, I-lattie got the ladder and poor Will came down from his perch on the mantel. Discouraged with picture hanging, but determined to finish his tasks, Willard decided to take a short rest, then continue his work. As he threw himself into a chair, a queer expression came over his face, a cry of pain issued forth from his lips, and he bounded from his seat grasping space. Almost instantly his wife entered. Willard, whatever is the matter with you this time? she asked. l've just found the thumbtacks I lost last night, he answered painfully. Well, you'd better hang that picture right away because it's nearly supper time, she ordered as she left the room. By now the black of night had begun to creep over the land, and by the time Will Clements had hung the picture, it was nearly dark. The rest of the evening after supper was spent in reading. Hattie read Gone with the Wind : Will, Street and Smith's Stories of the Wild West. Came morning. I-Iattie and Will went to view the new hanging addition to the den. Hattie burst forth with a gale of laughter: Will groaned as though stabbed with a knife: for there was WhistIer's Mother -solemn as a totem pole looking up at the ceiling. Yes, Willard V. Clements had hung the picture upside down. DEATH IN THE RAPIDS The entire countryside was lighted up by the pale glow of a full moon. Slowly down the quiet river in the foreground, floated a small canoe. From it could be heard the melodious tone of a young man singing. ln the bow a young girl sat facing him, smiling and nodding her head to the rhythm of the song. The two lovers were letting their craft drift lazily down the river with the current. Soon the canoe was seen grad- ually to pick up speed, and the trees along the bank to pass more rapidly: but the melodious voice of the man could still be heard. Soon a faint hishing sound could be heard faintly above the singer's voice: then it began to drown out the voice altogether. A piercing scream carne from the girl, and the man stopped singing and grabbed the paddle to battle the current. After he had fought desperately for several minutes there was a loud snap, and the paddle split in two. They both gazed ahead in the moonlight at the white foaming water of the rapids, and knew that they were facing death. The girl stared wild-eyed at the oncoming boulders and screamed for help. The young man sat horrified, still holding the broken end of the paddle in his hand. Soon the water rose to a roar. The canoe shot behind a huge rock. Then it was seen to emerge and smash to pieces on the jagged rocks, while two helpless figures could be observed being carried down through the rapids among the rocks and wreckage of the canoe. A voice roared excitedly, Well, folks, I guess you can go home now. That was the best 'take' we've had today: but don't forget to be back here at seven sharp in the morning. We're going to shoot that love scene that we missed last week, added the movie director. FREDERICK CHAMBERS, '40, GELANDESPRU NG Bald Mountain towered high above Marc Fuller. A wide snow-filled pass swept upward to the Bear's Head, an unbroken field glistening under the sun. Far above the ridge along which the Ski Patrol toiled upward--so tar in fact that he seemed about the size of an ant-a lone skier came flying down the slope. Tailwagging, turn- ing his skis from side to side with a weaving motion and body twist, the flyer on skis of wood swept past Marc at express-train speed. A turn, lightning fast, and another breathless straight run brought Eric Heifitze, the young leader of the Ski Patrol, to rest on the valley floor. Marc whistled with envy as he resumed his arduous climb. Like the patrol mem- bers up above, he was on his way to the top. A novice at ski running on the high, dangerous peak, Marc unfalteringly climbed on, and, as he climbed, a vivid picture was in his mind-a picture which had been there ever since he had won the ski jumping tournament. He had climbed, with several other fellows, to the top of the artificial hill. He then had swooped down the snowy runway and soared off into space like a bird. It was a thrilling sport and Marc Fuller, the American unknown, had won the contest. After this tournament, the ski instructor suggested that he try out for the Ski Patrol, but some of the members did not like this-especially Eric, whom Marc had defeated in the jumping contest. Defeat had been hard for the Swiss Alpiner to take from the novice. ' Before you can join us, Eric said, you must take Bald Mountain without a fall. Marc nodded grimly. But that's not all, Eric said, you have to be able to gelandesprungt' Eric then laughed mockingly. You Americans seem to think of nothing but jumping. You see only the flashy side of the sport. To be an expert, you must make your skis obey you before you can master the great mountains. To Marc the German word, gelandesprung, was terrifying in itself. He sought out the ski instructor and asked him what it meant. The ski instructor, who had been a pupil of Hannes Schneider, the best of all alpiners, shrugged his shoulders. A gelandesprung is not a terrible feat. lt is an everyday, cross country jump. When you come to a natural obstacle-a crevasse, a snowbank, a Cliffside, or a run- ning stream, you have to make a quick leap to get over it on skis. So he must take Bald Mountain straight, then run an obstacle course in order to make the Ski Patrol. As he climbed up, the other members of the patrol came shooting down the white slopes, tailwagging in unison, a sight both inspiring and beautiful. After reaching the top, Marc rested on his ski poles to get his breath. ln a few moments, he started down, cutting the interlocking circles, caused by tailwagging, in a straight line. Down, down, Marc swept in one deliberate schuss. The wind beat his clothing about him, almost took his breath away. Sixty miles an hour. Then with one downhill turn, he came flying into the midst of the patrol. Throwing a lot of snow he came to an abrupt stop. He had taken Bald Mountain without a fall. All the members of the patrol were impressed except Eric. That's not any worse than an artificial hill, and there are no obstacles. Wait until you meet three obstacles in a row. You can't slide over a gelandesprungf' Marc then made up his mind to try the obstacle course while he had his courage up: so off he started, with the patrol members at his heels. The first obstacle was a natural crevasse, a few feet wide: the second was an overhanging snowbank, about twenty feet high: and the third was a running stream, shallow but cold. As soon as Marc reached the obstacle course, he was off. He crossed the natural crevasse easily. At the snowbank, however, disaster overtook him. As he tried to gelandesprung, he crumbled and took a dive. He got up gamely, and started for the stream, but again he faulted, and this time he plunged into the icy water. The patrol members hurried to his aid, and brought him to the lodge, where warm blankets awaited him. While Marc was resting sullenly in his room, he saw all the patrol members except Eric heading for town. Eric, instead, had started to climb Bald Mountain, for he was going to take the run as Marc had. No American was going to surpass him. As Eric climbed, it grew darker: in a short while it would be totally dark. Marc grabbed some field glasses and watched Eric as he came down the slope. He was darting with air- plane speed down the most precipitous part of the trail when the upthrust tip of a fallen limb, barely protruding above the crust, deflected his left ski and thrust it across the toe of his right. Hurled into the air, Eric turned an almost complete somer- sault and landed flat on his back. One ski pole, spinning from his hand, struck a stunted tree bordering the trail, rebounded, and the metal point ploughed deep into the flesh of Eric's thigh. Marc knew that something tragic had happened, for Eric did not rise or move. He lay just as he had fallen. Fear gripped Marc when he thought that the patrol leader might be dead: so without taking time to pull on his parka, he rushed from his room, leaped down the stairs, and ran to Eric's side. lt was hard running up the slope in the deep snow, but Marc didn't mind. He would slip and fall, but he kept plodding. When he reached Eric's side, he saw a great pool of blood on the snow. Eric, for- tunately, was still breathingg so Marc carefully picked up the unconscious patrol leader and started for the lodge, leaving a blood spattered trail behind him. After he had entered the lodge, Marc laid Eric on the couch: then went in search for medical supplies. ln a few moments he returned to the couch. He was loaded down with bandages. Hastily, he ripped the clothing from the wound, and began to bandage the torn thigh. He closed the slash in the flesh as best he could, and wrapped the gauze tightly over the wound. The bandage was in no way artistic, but it did check the flow of blood-that was what counted. Marc then wrapped the unconscious man's form securely in several blankets. Immediately after he had done this, he left to get a doctor. The nearest way to town was the obstacle trail: so off he started. He lit the torch of his miner's cap, the one he used for night skiing, fastened his harnesses, grabbed his poles, and ran for the trail. lt was pitch dark, but Marc knew it was a matter of life and death. He did not think of himself, but considered only Eric. Down toward the crevasse he flew, crouched as he faced the jump, leaped, and landed safely on the other side. Now he faced the snowbank, the Gelandesprung, a blind soaring into the darkness. All the courage and power he had known in his mastery of jumping surged through him. He twisted his body in mid-air, and landed safely. Down he swept, like the wind, to the brook where a single push of his poles in the hard snow lifted him up over the water. After he had cleared the obstacles, Marc took only a few moments to reach town, where he met the other members of the patrol. After they had heard Marc's story, they called a doctor and the party started back to the lodge. When Eric had regained consciousness, he demanded to know what had hap- pened. When he was told of how Marc took those dizzy leaps in the dark he could hardly believe his ears. l-le looked puzzled, as he turned to the group and said, What do you say? Does Marc qualify for the patrol? ln answer to the question enthusiastic cries of assent welcomed Marc to the Ski Patrol. CHARLES KELSON, '4-O. WSW Recess - Room 20I Any day-I0.3O. The bell rings.

THE BALLAD OF FEARLESS FRED JAMES INGRAHAM, '4l I know full many a story ' And tall tales I know well, But the greatest one I ever heard ls the tale that I'll now tell. Ot Fearless Freddie HarIow We used to call him then, The fearless form from Fordham, The quarter-back of men. Freddie wasn't very big- One-sixty pounds I guess- But there never was a man alive That Harlow couIdn't best. Three hours left to wait, thought Fred While musing in his room. I wonder if three hours from now Mine will be joy or gIoom. He'd sent a note to Crowley, The coach who sure did lack The knowledge that Fred Harlow Was the world's best quarter-back. That's what Fred had told him In the note he'd sent that day, And all he wanted Jim to shout, Was, HarIow plays today. The hour was upon him, The lineup now was read And opposite the signal post The game went on forever And ,men were taken out. The crowd could only think to yell And stamxp its teet and shout. The game was almost over, The score was goose-egg all. Alabama thought they'd kick then, HarIow's back to catch the ball. 80,000 folks had come To see, this glorious day, Fearless Freddie Harlow Run this wonderful play. Watch me run it back, he cried, Watch me make this score. No man will ever stop this boy. And then they heard no more. Tucked under Freddie's portside limb The pigskin nestled close. To the left of the gridiron Harlow ran Past three big rugged toes. At the forty-yard line Harlow paused To let a guard slip by. Down the thirty thundered Fred, Then a big one caught his eye. This fellow rose, another foe, And Fearless howled with glee. His face of mud now red with blood, He rolled otl: Freddie's knee. Five more yards to go saw Fred Just one more in my way. Out of my stride, you crimson tide, You're going to die today. He reached for Freddie's sock-clad leg, But he telt that rough, hard land. For the toe at bay had fallen away And broken his outstretched hand. Across the goal was Harlow now, And the sound that was din to his ear Was the voice of every man, a ram Raised in mighty cheer. Their son Harlow had beaten the gun And Freddie had won the game. This among others was a deed That gave Fearless Harlow his name. This man shall be known in the hearts of all Long after he is dead, For every fan of this favorite game Knows Harlow, Fearless Fred. 1l.o,l Mr. Sterling lreacling a description of an art project presented by one of the art studentsl: Sounds like a fudge recipe! - l..o,.i Mrs. Wight Ifirst period English classl: What is involved in Act 5, Scene 7, of 'Macbeth'?

THE WESTBROOK HIGH SCHOOL SPECTATOR The persons to be mentioned in this article are not purely fictitious and any similarity to persons living or dead lall living, but a good part deadl is not coincidental. lssue l The first person to be mentioned is U. R. Rong. He is not a natural born citizen of our community, coming into our presence at an early age. He was lucky to be admitted to the third grade, although he should have been in the fifth or sixth. His chief pleasure seems to be arguing about things far out of his power or conception, in which he seldom admits he is wrong. An early marriage and labor have kept him out of our company lately, except at very late hours, and as I retire early, l seldom see him. The next gentlemen who come to mind are I. Will Knot and Don Twana. As both have habits quite similar, an exception for such close friends, one description will apply to both. lf at any time a majority is needed to disapprove of some sport these two may be counted on to help. Only such games as they introduce themselves receive their approval. Count Meowt is similar to the two previ- ously mentioned, although he is no close friend of theirs. He always has to do some- thing else when his company is requested, un- less he particularly likes to do whatever is suggested. E. Z. Time is a lad who attended the same school that l did. Upon failing to make the grade he enlisted in another academy of knowledge to seek out something simpler to do. Reports lfrom himselfl were that he was improving which is not hard to understand, for unless there was repetition, the only course lay in that direction. These few friends mentioned in today's issue of the Westbrook High School Specta- tor present the male side of the picture. ln the next issue our lady editor will try to pic- ture a few of her feminine friencls. W. C. D., '4O. Issue ll Today's edition of the Westbrook High School Spectator is devoted to the feminine side of the picture as a continuation of yester- day's issue. A The few characters that are described in the following are more than slight acquaintances of mine and l will try my best to describe them as l see them. The first character I am to introduce to you is May Lachance. She is a striking brunette with purple and blue lights shining in her jet- black hair. She has a most bewitching smile but generally employs her pout or her dis- tasteful frown. She is much more slender than the average girl but this point she hides under skirts two or three sizes too big. ln the class- room she usually knows a lot and when there is a test she usually takes a chance, as her name implies, on being asked the question she knows. So far luck has been with her, but in her own words, lt was so easy. The second character is much the pleas- anter. She is the optimist whio finds the hard- est tasks of life the most fun. She is a robust girl of about eighteen. She is capable of see- ing immediately your anxious and worried looks and relieves you of your great troubles by hearing them and then lgiving her opti- mistic view of the situation. She is famous throughout the town for her smile and gay manner of disposition. Her main interest lies in the betterment of everyone and everything. Our daily contact with her makes life seem less troublesome. She is known to us all as Carrie Cheer. These are a few of the friends your editor has associated with and although they have great faults they make for good company, be- cause careful and constant perception was required to bring these faults to the surface and enlarge upon them. l P.
