Zahares, Sidney R. To the men and 'women in the service of our country: You, who are today fighting the battle of freedom, were, not so long ago, yourselves students within the portals of Westbrook High School. As you went forth you did not know what the future held for you. Little did you think that within a few years you would be the heroes and heroines of your Alma Mater in a battle for our way of life. We are proud of you and we want you to know lt. We feel extremely humble writing this to you for we know that you have seen and learned so much more than we about the world of today. We feel that you should be talking to us rather than we to you but our purpose in writing this is very simple. It is to tell you that we here at home are backing you all the way. We will work and save so that someday when you return you may say, We did not fight in vain. .mi Editorial Bmw! - 1943 Iiditor-in-chief -IOYCIZ INGALLS Literary Ifditor CLAYTON ADAMS Assistant Literary liditor ICLIZANOR THOMPSON Society Editor MARGUERITE GOOGINS Assistant Society liditor WINNIFRFD LIBBY Athletic Editor XVILLIAM JOR DAN Humor lfditor MARILYN CASEY Otlicr students wlmo lmvc assisted in W MARY BENNETT IRENI5 LEAVITT VERNON KIMBALL Assistant Editor QIANICF MCKFNNIZY Class Iiclitors CONSTANCH MALPHERSON fScniorj AIANICE SMITH qjuniofp RICHARD TAYLOR fSopl1omorcj SIIIIQLEY HUGHES CFrcshmanJ Department Editor XVILLIAM RUSSELL Assistant Department IIANFT SPILLER lfditor Circulation Editor STEP!

Everyone has certainly been affected by it. It started out this year by taking away some of the spare time of Edna Chaisson, Hildur Cole, Theresa Doiron, Jean Googins, Virginia Harris, Gardinal Keefe, Mariette Labreque, Lucille Lachance, Marcella Ledeoux, Winnifred Libby, June McAloney, Constance Motherwell, Emily Paulin, Arlene Richards, Roberta Sanderson, Jeanette Theriaulr, Jean Whippie, Margaret Bunnell, Elaine Pedneault, Athena Athas, and Eleanor Thompson. Some of these girls helped with rationing at the school and others at the ration board. Next thing we hear about rationing is when Wally Rogers shows us by his puzzled face that he is having a terrible time trying to make out an application for a new bicycle. The ,44 Club made up of Ex-Scholastic Club members has tried to compete against Mr. Ration by sponsoring a new form of entertainment, The Sophomore Hop, for our morale. The committee QRuth Burns, Barbara Allen, Geneva Frank, Janet Spiller, Robert O'Gara and Richard Finneyj deserve much credit for this dance. 1 Let's see now how rationing may affect us in the future. For instance, what would happen to our basketball team if Adrian Barrows and John Darkis should have diiiiculty in obtaining sneakers? If gas is rationed any more, what is Everett Paulsen going to do if he can't bring his Chevie to school? Our Phy. Ed. class would suffer if they should ration some of the vim and vigor of Gloria Welch. How would Winnifred Libby, Janet Spiller, Janice McKenney, Jean Googins, Lucille Naylor, Eleanor Thompson and Janice Smith feel if the shortage of paper made it necessary to ration honor cards. I think that time isn,t very far away because I have heard that the Junior Home Ec. class have become so destitute for paper towels that they have even had to bring their own towels from home. Even clothes may be rationed and how would we exist if we couldn't see Elaine Pedneault or Geneva Frank in different sweaters and skirts every day. What would happen to our inspiring assemblies if the electrical ability of Walter Lebel and Ernald Gervais was rationed? Cheer up fellas they haven't rationed Seniors yet. We'll make it some day. Yours till they ration class write-ups, JANICE SMITH, '44. Twenty-one News of Westbrook High Sophomores This is your Sophomore commentator broadcasting on a carrier frequency of '45 kilocycles bringing you the news of the year, sponsored by the Sophomore Class. Flash! This year the Sophomores did very well for themselves in the annual school play, What A Life. Representing them were Beverly Canning, Gerald Hoar, Albert Libby, Harold Rice, George Smith, and Richard Taylor, all of whom had major parts! In politics this year, William Currier, Norman Russell, David Chase, and Eva Dame were elected president, vice president, treasurer, and secretary respec- tively. We now bring you the latest news of the honor students. At the half lead- ing the class with high honors were Donald Cairns, Beverly Canning, Nellie Douglass, Mejella Gaudreau, William Smyth, and Richard Taylor. Special Bulletin! In sports circles the Sophomores contributed to football, basketball, and baseball. Participating were Stephen Pratt, Norman Russell, William Currier, Paul Levesque, Philip Lowell, and Patrick Welch, all of whom should be con- gratulated for their fine work. On the girls' basketball team the class was repre- sented by Theresa Arsenault, Lorraine Gallant, Esther LeConte, Virginia Richards, and Fern Wilson. ' The Scholastic Club, under the guidance of Miss Tarbell elected Albert Libby, president, Patrick Welch, vice president, Beverly Canning, secretary, and Evelyn Meggison, treasurer. Their paper, the Blue Flash and their annual Junior Prom were both huge successes. Selected for the prize speaking contest were Beverly Canning, Betty Chap- lin, Albert Libby, Harold Rice, and Richard Taylor. On the Comic Front: Lately many sophomores have been seen reading comics behind notebooks and in any other place which seemed convenient. Some Sophomores have really taken their favorite characters too seriously for they are becoming more like them every day. FOR EXAMPLE Blondie-Rita Peffer Dagwood-Gerald Hoar Baby Dumpling-Alex Jensen Superman-Herbert Merrill Tillie the Toiler-Betty Chaplin Little Orphan Annie-Joan Spiller Popeye-John Fitzgerald Tarzan-Kit Nadeau Smil'in Jack-George Smith Joe Palooka-Paul Levesque Wimpy-Arthur Maasbyll Flash Gordon-Pat Welch Harold Teen-Harold Rice Olive oyl-Edna Lemieux Skeezix-Dick Martin Dan Dunn-Albert Libby King of the Royal Mounted-David Chase Little Henry-Bill Smyth Nancy-Theresa Arsenault Fritzi Ritz-Theresa Robinson Big Chief Wahoo-Edward Crawford Olly of the Movies-Rosemary Ingalls This is your Sophomore commentator signing off until next year. B-U-L-O-V-A-Ingersoll Watch Time. RICHARD TAYLOR, '4g. T wrn ty-two FRESHMEN Allow me to refresh your minds with our achievements of the current year. As you probably remember, only too well, we entered the portals of West- brook High a bit shakily on September 14, 1942. We all went our different ways, each choosing the course he felt would harmonize best with his ambitions. Forty-eight chose the college course While eighty-seven preferred the commercial course and forty-four the industrial. We started the year off right by electing Richard Goff as president, Janet Rondeau as vice president, Bernadette Berube as secretary and Lucille Welch as treasurer. On October 27, 1942, we were formally received by the Seniors as well as the faculty. An entertainment was given in which Barbara Furbish, Frances Billings, Robert Swett, Carlene MacPherson, Constance Fraser, William Lowell, Gregory Stone, Leanne Shibles, William Bridgham, Jane Pugh, Danny Smith, Bernadette Berube, Constance Libby, Francesta Farr, Alan Davis, Betty Allen, Patricia Jensen, Shirley Hughes, Douglas Hague and Robert Fernald, portrayed their bit of talent. The remaining part of the evening was spent with dancing. The more ambitious of us entered the athletic field. In football, we are proud of Henry Saunders, Robert Fernald, and Louis Fournier. On the basket- ball team, Andrew Sinclair, Roland Caron, Junior Gilbert, Richard Goff, Alan Davis, Francis Davis, George Libby and Merle Meggison contributed their bit of ability. The boys were not the only ones who went out for sports, however, since Cora Laverty, Leanne Shibles, Leona Libby, Mary Watson and Virginia Thompson were active in the girls' basketball team. November 19, 1942. There was an exciting event for two of our Freshmen girls. They were Carlene MacPherson, who did her bit by watering some flowers and Leona Libby, who played the part of a somewhat confused darkie in the annual play, What A Life. By the way fellas, ever have any trouble taking your pick? Here are some hints. Did you ever see a girl with more vim than Barbie Furbish or one who could keep a party rolling any better than Shirley Spiller? On the other hand, take a look at Lucille Welch who differs in but one respect from Garbo, she doesn't want to be alone! If you crave excitement, don't hesitate in looking up Conky Fraser and don't forget Bernadette Berube and her ability to keep you smiling. As for scholastic honors, Dwight Adams, Robert Burton, Alan Davis, Bar- bara Furbish, Shirley Hughes, Patricia Jensen, Carlene MacPherson, Mary Fran- coeur, Joseph Dalpee and Robert Fernald have made us proud. Your Freshman Editor, SHIRLEY HUGHEs. Twenty-ibree School Cazlemimg 1942- 43 I942 SEPTEMBER 14- Frosh, frosh, everywhere And not a one looks bright. Frosh, frosh, everywhere Worried about their plight. That's right-our pastures were green again with Freshman of the most varied height we have ever seen. What have we done to deserve this? OCTOBER 2-Premier showing! Yes, we mean the annual all-Westbrook Night. This was a sort of sneak preview of the talent contained in our midst Qhowever, it wasn't exactly sneak, because the auditorium was filled with spectatorsj. Bob Hutchinson, the junior Rubinoff, Doris Bell and Peggy Hill, the Senior nightingales, gave fine selections. Toodles and Jeannie Robinson and Jean Googins gave a clever exhibition of lightning-fast baton twirling. The Senior Orchestra almost outdid itself with its patriotic selec- tions. David Stone, Bob Hutchinson, Willard Sawyer and Patrick Welch produced a gory scene in the Dr. Kildare manner. The shadow effect pro- duced on a bed-sheet by clever lighting was really something! The high spot of the evening was the mock-speech contest waged by Miss Tarbell's speech class. They left the audience holding their sides. OCTOBER 9-The Commercial Club dance was held in the auditorium with Chippy and his music furnishing the jazz for the ujumpf' Leave it to the Commercial Club to make sure everyone has a good time. OCTOBER 16-Erland Emery night was a night we'll never forget. The football boys sponsored the dance and entertainment for the benefit of their hon- orary football Captain who was very ill in the hospital. OCTOBER 23-The Junior Class did themselves proud at their Hrst assembly this year. They really put the old pep right in us for the football game. Yep -theyire O. K those Juniors. OCTOBER 27-Freshman Reception. The Seniors sponsored the grand opening for the Freshman Class. Before this we saw them only one by onet or two by two in some cases such as Shirley Hughes and Dick Goffj . Everyone was dressed in his or her finery,' and looked swell. We have to admit that it Wasn't half so ghastly as weithought it was going to be. OCTOBER 29- 30-An oasis in the desert-a port in a storm-a light in the dark. Youive guessed it-teachers' convention. How we love to have them roll around. We sincerely wish them an eternal existence. NOVEMBER 6-The Sophomores really shone in their rally for the Morse game. They're a pretty good bunch of school-spirited kids if we must say so. NOVEMBER 19-At last-it finally happened! The assembly play was a reality at last. Henry Aldrich QDick Taylorj really acted his part true to life. What A Lifev is one of the best plays we have ever produced. Dick was ably supported by Beverly Canning, Joyce Ingalls, Gerald Hoar, George Gray, George Smith, and many others. Laughs, wit, tragedy, smiles, tears,- it had them all. Twc'nfy-four DECEMBER 18-We take back everything we said about the Freshmen. They did a superb job with their Christmas assembly featuring Carlene MacPherson, Alan Davis, Gregory Stone, Richard Goff, Richard Soper, and many others of the College English class. We're proud of them now! fAre our faces redlj DECEMBER 18-JANUARY 4-Christmas Vacation! Need more be said? Two weeks in which to have a wonderful time-and we did! JANUARY 4 -The inevitable happened! - we came back to school. Everyone looked as though Saint Nicholas had concentrated on him personally. JANUARY 1 5-The Sophomores were feted at the gala Sophomore Ball. This was the first dance after our Christmas vacation and everyone was just raring to go-and they did. Oh yes, it took a little more time to go this year because We had to walk-no gas, no tires-you know. Everyone had a grand time and decided that Sophomore Balls were here to stay. Congratulations! N44 Clubf, a swell job. FEBRUARY 9-Jimmy Ingraham c,42J was home on leave from his duties as Drill Instructor in the Marine Corps at Parris Island, South Carolina, and talked to us in assembly. We enjoyed it very much, and honored him by singing the Marine's Hymn for which he had written words dedicated to his mother. Best of Luck, Jim. FEBRUARY I2-We had a double assembly-the boys in the Auditorium were entertained by a man from the Maritime Commission while the girls were fascinated by a WAAC. I guess that means more recruits for victory. FEBRUARY 16-Unbelievable! There was no school because of cold weather- -4oo! Golly! Why don't we do this about once a week? What do you say, weather man? FEBRUARY zz-26-Washingtonis birthday and canned food rationing were re- sponsible for this lovely Qlj wonderful QU much-needed GJ vacation. How We love 'em. MARCH 12- Congrats,', Scholastic Club-You certainly know how to entertain your superiors-the Juniors. I'm sure that because of the wonderful evening they had at the Junior Prom, the class will be your humble servant-that is, if you pull anything too ghastly. MARCH zz-26-Spring Vacation! We just can't express our feelings except by saying Whoopie or some such overworked ejaculation! JUNE 6-The Seniors began to realize that their high school years were nearly ended and that they must begin to look to the future. The Baccalaureate Service was inspiring and left everyone feeling a little more confident in his ideals and a little more aware of his place in the World. JUNE I 1-Will We ever forget graduation? I'm sure it will always be one of our most treasured memories. Even the school-haters looked a little glum at the thought that they were leaving Westbrook High. The Senior Reception was a big success. Although each Senior thought that it might be the last time he would dance at Westbrook High he had a wonderful time. Thanks for everything. To those of you who are still attending our Alma Mater We, the Seniors, want to say this: Raise her standards, never let them fall. Good luck and goodby.

The Club meets twice a month, with Miss Tarbell as faculty advisor. The meetings are held at the homes of the members and at the high school. Recently a lecture on puppets was given by Mr. Pelletier. This was both entertaining and educational. The aim of the Club is to promote school spirit, so that all the students will take more interest in their school and the activities that it sponsors. The Sophomore Ball was introduced this year by the Club. lt was held on January fifteenth, in the auditorium. Music for dancing was furnished by Wally HarWood's orchestra.

The Scholastic' Club The membership of Westbrook High School's Scholastic Club is made up of Sophomore college preparatory course students. The club's aims are both cultural and social. Its Weekly meetings touch on a Wide Variety of subjects. For instance, this year meetings have been devoted to reviewing current books, to enjoying recording of classical music, and to hearing an occasional speaker. A Club members enjoyed particularly the talk given by Yeoman 2nd Class Robert L. Card who told of his ex eriences d r' h d ll sp.,, p u ing t e torpe oing of the It is the Scholastic Club which sponsors the Junior Prom and which pub- lishes the Blue Flash, a magazine of short stories, editorials, poems and news items.

The International Relnfionf Inn The International Relations Club, whose purpose is to keep its members posted on the news of the day, has had an abundance of material this year due to the war. Special reports have been given at the meetings on China, Netherlands East Indies, and Australia. At the first meeting this year, the Club elected Clayton Adams, presidentg Willard Sawyer, treasurer, and Anita Porell, business manager. The war has somewhat thwarted the plans of the Club to raise money. The usual cand bars have been cons icuous b their absence but, nothing daunted, Y P Y U the Club has substituted apples, cracker jacks, and peanuts to help fill up the treasury. The project undertaken this year by the Club has been to purchase more books for the school library. At the end of the year, the Club will have pur- chased a hundred books and a special bookcase for them, which will increase our library considerably. 7'1vz'nfy-figlzt , These books are: Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin Emerson's Essays Rudyard Kipiing's The Light That Failed The Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte Longfellow's Poems Wisdom of Confucius Plays of Ibsen A Huckleberry Finn by Samuel Clemens The Last Days of Pompeii by Bulwer Lytton 1 Moby Dick by Herman Melville I Shakespeare's Masterpieces Autocrat of the Breakfast Table by Oliver W.

Commercial qbmffmenzg This year more than any other year in the past the commercial department holds an important position in our school. The nation's capital as well as many other big cities is in great need of trained stenographers and typists to help in the immense job of winning this War. Under the excellent guidance of the advisors of the commercial department, I believe We will become eiiicient and Well-trained stenographers capable of doing this War Work. The commercial department has given several girls the opportunity to apply for positions in local offices of this city. Cecile Mercier was one of the fortunate ones as she secured the secretarial position open in Judge Le Blanc's office. The Juniors and Seniors have been Working hard to earn the certificates is- sued for speed and accuracy in typing and shorthand. The Senior typing class has put much effort in setting up stencils for the school paper, the Blue Flashf, This year this department has helped the War effort in the following Ways: by making out the oil coupons, by typing addresses on envelopes containing these coupons, by inspecting the tire forms, by guiding the citizens of Westbrook to the proper rooms during the rationing periods, and by typing cards containing information about persons engaged in Civilian Defense.

We were all very glad to be able to help in those small ways and we felt We gained valuable ex- perience by doing so. Among the alumni who have benefited from the commercial course given at this high school are the following: Gabrielle Thibault who is secretary to principal Milton Philbrook. Pauline Spiller works in the ofhce at Saunders Dowel Mill. Phyllis Huse Works at the Westbrook Rationing Board. Janet Daly Works at the Westbrook Rationing Board.

I understand that this department is doing a lot towards civilian defense, Mr. Philbrookf' Yes, they are, but I will introduce you to Mrs. Fairchild, who I am sure will have many interesting things to show you.' Mrs. Fairchild, this is Mr. J., reporter for the Wfestbrook BLUE AND WHITE. He would like to ask some of the home economic students what they are doing, and what they have accomplished. How do you do, Mr. J. You are just in time to visit the Sophomore class. Here is Lorraine Gallant who has just completed her course in child care. Let us hear what she has to say about itf' Well, Mr. J., I think this is a valuable and useful course for any girl to take. In child care, we learn how to bathe, dress, and feed a child. This will en- able us to take care of children while their mothers are working in' defense plants. Thank you, Lorraine. Now I will show you the Junior class, Mr. J. What is this group in the kitchen doing? They are cooking different vegetables but I will let Sylvia Welch tell you. We have just finished our sewing term and are now studying nutrition. We have learned how to plan balanced meals anl how to prepare nutritious breakfasts. Now we are learning how to prepare vegetables in different ways. This morning we made a vegetable plate. After we finish this course we will study home nursing. Thank you, Sylvia. - Here is the Senior class. Priscilla Jensen will tell you what they are doing. We are making booklets on interesting phases of home decoration. We have had classes in canning and meal preparation, which were interesting this year because of the food rationing. Some girls come back to school in the after- noons and sew for the Red Cross. At the present time they are making pajamas and slips. Thank you, Miss Jensen, that was very instructive. I am sure that these interviews will show the importance of this course to the publicf' B. B., '43. R. A., '43. Thirly-tbrce PATTERN SHOP Herbert Dobson, Roland Bennett, Mr. Carl B. Jensen, Raymond Camire, Robert Goodwin, lirnald Gervais Williaixx Russell and Victor Dufour. Shop Nom The year of '42-'43 added several pieces of equipment to our industrial department. Much of the credit for this work must be given to the preceding class. Now, all but one or two of the machines have their own separate power plant. Several new machines have been added, which make our machine shop comparable to any in the state. This year we have turned out vices, band-saws, planes, and lathes. Some of these tools have already been sold. In the faculty, as well as the shop, something new has been addedf, Mr. Jensen is now head of the industrial department in Mr. Alden's place. The boys in cabinet shop have found Mr. Jensen very accommodating and extremely help- ful, especially with their cedar chests and numerous other articles of furniture which they have constructed during the year. Sheet metal shop doesn't seem to change much from year to year. However, some tools and machines now supplement our stock. The pattern class finds it much easier and more pleasant to work with their new instruments. The eleven industrial members of the class of '43 are very deeply apprecia- tive of the opportunities they have had, and it is with extreme regret that they depart from the walls of W. H. S. Thirty-four AVL, Time: 1982. Place: Walker Memorial Library. Scene: Two aged people are just entering the Children's Room in search of a book for their grandchildren. Grandma is speaking: Why, Pa, would you just look! There's the old mural, still hanging on the wall. My, my. After all these years. Well, I'l1 be switched. Remember back in ,43 when you and I worked on it. What a job we had trying to get all those folks onto the canvas and still make it look good-Yep, hereis my name right on the bottom, and there's yours right there. I.et's see-Danny Smith, Helen Butterfield, Robert Lemieux, Norman Swett-They say he's retired on his pension now! Lives in that big white house on the hill-Lookie here, here's the Red Riding Hood you painted when you Were only a little girl in high school. And right over here's the Humpty Dumpty I made. QHmmmm-didn't do so bad either, by gumj . Oh, Pa, isn't it thrilling to stand here and look at this and remember what We did in art class back in those days. Remember our teacher? Now, what was his name? Stearns, Stanley? Stanley-that's it-Ansel Stanley. My goodness, what a time he had with those War Posters we made. Remember the defense posters and all the other posters we had to make for the different club dances? I imagine Mr. Stanley had a hard time keeping us tamed down. His name Wa'n't Stanley. It was Sterling. And we weren't wild-like. We were quiet and studious and never paid any attention to anything that wasn't tied up with the mural. fOr else my memory's slippinglj Remember what hap- pened when old Bill Bridgham was painting those Seven Dwarfs? Mustn't forget to tell that to the kiddies. Seems to me I can remember all the people that helped us paint this. Can't remember all their names, but I can remember the kind of work they did. There's the Sandman-Patricia Jensen did that, and I think Jean Boulanger did this Winken, Blinken and Nod, and Billy Bridgham and Dorothy Davis did these two central figures of the boy and girl reading, and Dwinal Farley drew this pig. Good job, too. I-Ie's married now. Got six grandchildren and a long white beard. Just think, Ma, way back in '43 we painted this. Those were the good old days-no plastic cities, no antidigormas, no televisible phones, no inter-planet transports. Only peace and quiet in a little country schoolhouse where mural paintings took up all our thoughts. We must look up the records about the mural, though I doubt if anyone has anything that far back. I reckon our grandchildren will be telling their children's children 'bout how you and I painted this Whole mural. Probably this'll last for centuries and centuries. And just think! We did it when We were only kiddies in Westbrook High School! D. D., '43 .

His beautiful, but not Very dumb, girl friend Was Bev.

Everyone who had the chance to see Henry Aldrich and his antics thought the stage Was in a great uproar most of the time. But this excitement didn't even compare With that of the back stage. Dick Taylor made a flourislf-ll ing entrance, then a queer look crossed his face and he looked frantically to the Wings where prompters Jane Hendrickson and Peggy Marion were seated-Dick had forgotten his lines. Joyce Ingalls caused another trying moment: just as Prin. George Gray leaned back to dictate a letter, she pawed wildly through the desk drawers in search of her notebook. Again, Harold Rice inspired fear, when he refused to enter-and ruin a perfect love scene. Oh, well, everything must have seemed smooth, for the audience praised the cast and their excellent di- rector, Miss Ingalls.

Tbirty-rrlfcrz ATHLETICS FOOTBALL The prospects for Westbrook's I942 football team looked exceedingly bright during the first week of practice. This brightness later became dimmed when two of the ten returning lettermen left school. But immediately our dauntless coach, Freddy Harlow, found equally talented replacements for these boys. Westbrook's hopes were high again. The first few games, before the opening of our new small school league, were used largely to find the smoothest clicking lineup. Then came the first league game with Biddeford, when Westbrook valiantly held the score to a o-o deadlock. Other victories were quickly registered over Brunswick and Morse. A The game on our schedule that was most anxiously waited for was with the courageous Cheverus High School eleven. Westbrook took the field as a slight underdog. A first period touchdown by Freddy Harlowis Tigers astonished the hometown fans. Then a touchback gave Westbrook an 8-o lead. . Suddenly Cheverus scored twice along with an extra point to step in front I3-8. . With time steadily clicking by in the final period, Artie Currier inter- cepted a pass in Cheverus territory and cleverly ran 60 yards behind quickly gathered interference to the two-yard line. Then Westbrook's mighty scoring threat, Gordon Fraser, bucked over for the winning touchdown. The final score, Westbrook 14, Cheverus 1 3. The team wishes that the most successful football season we have had in twelve years may stand in some small measure as a memoriam to its late captain, Erland Emery. Lettermen were: Co-Capts., Dick Chapman and Gordon Fraser, Willie Currier, Phil Lowell, Bob Lecomte, Kid', Levesque, Clayt Adams, Leo Cham- pagne, Steve Torrey, Bill Jordan, Kit Nadeau, Ray Pomerleau, Art Currier, Butch Bernier, Eddie Carr, Bob Breton, Lee Swasey, Pat Welch, Wally Rogers, Louis Fournier, and Mgr.

This is the first Vfestbrook team for a number of years to receive an invitation to the South- western Maine Tournament. The players truly deserved this invitation because of their splendid play throughout the season. Coach Freddy Harlow's Blue Blazesi' opened the season with such stalwarts as Addie Barrows, Johnny Darkis, Art Currier, Rusty Russell, Steve Pratt and Leo Champagne. If Coach Harlow could have had all these boys to Work with during the entire season our team would have been one of the strongest in this section of the state. As it was ineligibility and the draft prevented several from partici- pating. The Blazes fought with the ''never-say-die-spirit, which so characterizes all of the Paper City teams, and often came home victorious. The real thriller of the year was Westbrook's unexpected win over a sup- posedly strong Morse High School quintet. The NVestbrookians paced by Darkis, Barrows and Russell, plus the fine floor work of Manny Gilbert and Art Currier rang up a final score of 38-27. The outlook for next year's team is unusually good in material, but the war conditions may change this. Let's hope it doesn't. The lettermen were: Captain Addie Barrows, Rusty Russell, Steve Pratt, Leo Champagne, Manny Gilbert, Willie Currier, Mgrs. Dick Smith and Alex Jensen. W. J., '43 .

Tlwiril' Row: Edna Wilson, Virginia Thompson and Cora Laverty. GIRLS' BASKETBALL Once again the basketball season opened for the girls. Although the pros- pects for a good team seemed almost hopeless with just two veterans, Rhoda Daley and Margaret Asker, to start the year, the girls were determined not to let their coach, Miss Blanchard, become discouraged. Not many of the girls turned out for the practices, however, those who did were very faithful and practiced well. Notice should be given to some of the outstanding players. Mary Watson, a Freshman, Who seemed to have certain powers over the basket, proved to be an exceptional forward together with Jeanette Theriault, Lorraine Gallant and Theresa Arsenault, who contributed much to the Hnal scores. The guards, Rhoda Daley, Cecile Tanguay, Margaret Asker and Fern Wilson, a Sophomore who showed very promising ability, must not be forgotten for they worked hard, too. Our second team was again invited to participate in the Round Robin at Deering. Some of those who went from our school were: Cora Laverty, Leanne Shibles, Beatrice Harnois, Virginia Richards, Leona Libby, Edna Wilson, Eliza- beth Olsen, Esther Leconte and Virginia Thompson. All of them compared favorably with the representatives from the other schools. Lack of transportation facilities made it difficult to reach schools where the games were played. However, interscholastic games were arranged by manager Rhoda Daley with Falmouth, Gorham, Deering, South Portland, Old Orchard, and Cape Elizabeth. The unbeaten South Portland sextet was very much upset when, while playing us on our own court, our team led the score by several points until in the last quarter, the South Portland girls made a final attempt and won the game by one basket. The Cape team, also unbeaten, was surprised when the final score was a tie. The girls showed wonderful spirit during the games and, if they didn't win no one showed an attitude of defeat and indifference. Good sportsmanship has been the motto as every girl played, not for herself, but for the whole school. If only because of this, the season has been successful. M. A., '43. Forty-our CHEER LEADERS Lorraine Gallant, lidna Lemieux, William Smith, llva Dame and Rhoda Daley. BASEBALL It has been the custom in previous years for the yearbook editorial concern- ing baseball to cover the preceding year's activities. It has been deemed advisable to write this year of the prospects of the coming season. Boys returning this spring who were lettermen and have shown well on the diamond are t'Fat Watson, Steve Pratt, Addie Barrows, Bobby Breton, and Spike Clark. This group makes up an efficient battery and an infield, but the outfielders will have to be chosen from new men. George Muarry saw some experience here last year and may well be termed a veteran. As Westbrook is a baseball town much talent is usually found among the Freshmen who have had experience in grammar school leagues. Because of war conditions most of this year's games will probably come from a league composed of Westbrook, Portland, Deering, South Portland, and Cheverus. These teams seem evenly matched, but I believe the battle for top honors will be between Westbrook and Portland. One fine old tradition that will probably be dropped this year due to travel will be the Memorial Day classic of Westbrook and Sanford. These games have been scorchers every year between two old baseball towns. We hope there will be some way to bring these teams together again this year. Much respect should be given to the fine work of players on the 1942 nine, especially that of Capt. Connie Poitras and Mac Plummer now in the Navy, Dick Spiller of the Air Corps and Jay Laroux. Dick Martin, Freshman standout also pitched expertly throughout the year. This will be Coach Freddy Harlow's first year as baseball coach and it will surely be a fine gesture for the student body to support him and his team in their quest for another Telegram League trophy. wr. J., '43, Forfy-lu'r1 PHYSICAL FITNESS CLASS SWIMMING CLASS Under the stress and strain of the new physical fitness program, two Seniors, Dorothy Davis and Margaret Asker, thought it a wise procedure to take a course offered by the Portland Boys' Club for women's swimming classes. After two or three lessons, they decided that more of their classmates should share the benefits received from such a course. The next day a notice was sent around school to the effect that all girls interested in forming a swimming club were to sign up in the ofhce. This was the nucleus of an industrious class of girls who are anxious to be- come good swimmers. A group of more than twenty students from all classes go in regularly once a week for instruction in swimming and diving. The main design this year is to organize well, in the hope that next year a team may be well enough trained to participate in the annual contests with other high schools in this vicinity. Under the excellent training of Mr. Paulsen, the instructor, they have found out how to be a commando in the water, how to Stroke and breathe prop- erly, and how to get the greatest possible speed with the least effort. They are looking forward to next year when they expect that the school will really be proud of them. D. D., '43. Forly-tbrrv F r f ' 4 44 1.4 14 'K I W 4- 1' 4 4' 14 4 L 4 if W Fwd wh.mmw OW Part What can We, high school students, do to help Win the War? We say that We buy War Stamps-Bonds, if We have the money, that we collect scrapg that We go Without sugar, butter, and meatg that we even walk to the dances-unless We take the car, risking the loss of our gas ration book. These apparent things are all very Well, but what ambitions have We in mind? Toward What goal are We striving? High school graduates who have learned their lessons ami obedience and cooperation are needed not only to lead in the armed services today, but also to guide in the post-war World. The men and women of tomorrow, who are now high school boys and girls, will need to have the strong moral character and the broad outlook that they can gain by doing small tasks loyally. These things can be learned in school: obedience, from our teachersg cooperation, from our class- mates. So if we enter into our curricula and extra-curricula work with energy and spirit, we shall be doing as much toward victory and the post-War World as any service man or woman on any battliield. 'ZR' Oh say! can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hai1'd at thc twilightls last gleaming? The national anthem-the Star-Spangled Banner! What does it mean to you? When I hear it, I think of American soldiers parading through broad streets, their grave expressions contradicting their brisk step, a huge battleship sliding into the seag a flight of giant birds with their fierce Wingspread of shel- lacked metal gleaming against the blue. I see Old Glory waving in the breeze, enveloping the nation with her protective cloak of red, White and blue. I see the Capitol, white and gleaming, the heart of this nation. My heart swells with pride when I think of these things. I-'orly-four But the Star-Spangled Banner does more than arouse my sense of patriotism. It gives me a feeling of security, of safety-even in this war-torn world. It makes me appreciate just how fortunate every American boy and girl is to be born and to live in the U. S. A., to be a part of this great nation, to have a share in its progress. For in these United States there are great deeds and great accom- plishments. There are mighty reservoirs of the courage and determination needed to fight and to win a war. We must preserve this security. United, we can answer yes When we hear- Oh say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave O'er the land of thc free and the home of the brave? A. P., '43. 'tk Sports Morales The one thing I can't understand is that out of a school with 250 young fellows, only about twenty-Eve or thirty can see their way to come out for foot- ball. Another thing considering the size of the school, the turnouts to watch the games were very small. The nearest it came to a football crowd was at the Deer- ing game when about two-thirds of the crowd came from Deering. Why donlt you try to come down and do a little fjust a littlej cheering for the boys who are out there every day practicing and sweating their heads off so Westbrook High can have a football team. P. S. This applies to baseball, basketball, and every other sport. P. L., '4,. . it The idea for the next two articles was borrowed from the Ianuary Readers' Digest.

The second bell has just rung and Miss Chick is about to close the door to room 201. Glancing up she sees Mary hurrying toward her so she waits for her to enter. Mary hurries through the door thinking to herself, Whew, I just made it this morning. I wish that she wouldn't look at me like that .... 'iYes, Miss Chick, I'll try to remember that slip tomorrow. . . . What does she think I am, a miracle woman? Gosh, it's hard enough getting myself here on time. Where is my French paper anyway? Betty would want it now. Oh gosh, I re- member now, I dieln't do it. Guess I'll have to tell Miss Blanchard that I lost my paper .... What's that, Betty? Yes, George and I went to the show last night. Just guess who was there with Bill. We were so surprised! Yes, Miss Forty-five Chickf, . . . As though Fd been making a lot of noise, after all, this is a free country .... - Janet, wait for me! Hurry up, Emily, time for Chemistry again. - t . . . Time is so important, go to Mary Westbrook, she is never late. Time, time, speed, speed! Mary worked feverishly to complete the formula. This is so very important. On her skill rests the lives of thousands of people. Speed, speed . . . EUREKA! Success at last. Slowly Mary brushed her hand across her hot brow. Her task on earth is now complete. She sinks to the floor, content in the knowledge that she has succeeded .... The world, mourning ber death .... Mary, come on or we'll be late for study period. Emily's voice interrupts Mary's thoughts. Sighing, she gathers her books and follows Emily. Quiet, I want this room quiet-please, Mrs. Adams calls the Main Room to order .... . . . Quiet, please, these wounded soldiers need peace and quiet. Mary Westbrook, the only nurse on Guadalcanal at this time, smiled wearily. Through all the fighting she had remained calm and serene. Her cheerful smile and gay talk kept many men rational during the worst of it all. Now she turned her eyes toward the door of the crude hut which served as a hospital. The sight that greeted her glance, drained her face of all color. She steadied herself. Not now, she couldn-it give up now that she had been through so much. But in the face of . . . Mary, if you haVen't enough work . . . . This is Mrs. Adams. Mary tried to appear interested in her English book. As the bell rings she stifles a yawn and follows Emily, who is on her way to French class. Mary felt rather guilty as she entered the room. Miss Blanchard states that the written work will not be due until tomorrow. She then proceeds to outline the work for the period. As the class becomes interested in the book, t'L'ABBE CONSTANTIN,,, Mary feels herself in the role of Bettina, the heroine . . . . . . Suzie, said Bettina, don't you realize how I love him, how I wish to be there with him now. The curtain is lowered as a wave of applause sweeps through the great theatre. Mary Westbrook is a success! She takes her numerous curtain calls graciously. At last she has reached the goal for which she has been struggling. A star in the most brilliant play of the season, she prepared to meet the gentlemen of the press .... Mary, aren't you comingf' calls Ruth from the door. Mary seizes her books and hurries toward her home room .... . . . Gosh, the way people push around here .... What's that, Edna? No, I'm not taking my English. See you girls tonight. Wait for me, Margaret. . . . The end of another day at last. 'aff The Secret LW ofjohnny Blazes Here comes our hero racing through the halls. Stopping, suddenly conscious of the quiet, he peers around the corner towards the office. Slowly he makes his Way to report his tardiness. Gaby looks up as he enters, scowling as she says, Again! I thought Mr. Philbrook warned you about your repeated tardiness. Forty-six johnny stammers that it just couldn't be helped. Gaby makes out his slip resignedly, shaking her head as he hurries across the hall. Armed with his entrance slip he enters the Main Room. The bell rings for first class, interrupting Mr. Crozier's remarks on tardiness in general and Johnny in particular. johnny, unable to settle down in his first period study, heads for the bub- bler. He sees Mr. Philbrook hurrying towards him. Here it comes now, he mutters to himself. Mr. Philbrook smiles benignly as he queries, Can you spare some time to help us now? With a sigh of relief he follows his guide in the di- rection of the old book room. Here he is placed under Mr. Moreau's care. After shifting a few cases around he begins to eye the door hopefully .... N o escape! ! Always these closed doors, bolted windows. Won't I ever see the blue of the skies again? It won't do for these Nazis to see that as yet my hopes aren't dead. N o one knows of that ingenious plan of escape, born and nurtured in my brain. If they only knew! The time draws near. Soon I will be free, I will have either liberty or death. Soon . . . As the bell rings, he hurries to wash his hands, consequently being late for Physical Training. Coach Harlow demands an explanation. Then he ignores johnny as Clayton starts to lead the exercises. Ready! One, two, three, four! One, two three, four! come the calls of the leader. johnny feels suddenly very weary. Everything is hazy . . . johnny Blazes, the big, husky Marine, snaps to attention. It is time! Now comes the charge. just a handful of Marines against many well equipped japa- nese soldiers. The jungles are steaming in the hot sun, as johnny leads his men forward. They look to him for orders and confidence. Calmly he hacks his way through the thick underbrush. Suddenly a gun roars out in the silence. The Marines drop to the floor of the jungle. johnny looks up to see a yellow face peering at him. With a cry he hurls himself at his opponent. The jap pulls a knife from his belt and swings to hit johnny, who dodges and then swings to bring his fist in contact with the other's chin. The jap staggers, then falls as his comrades retreat. Suddenly johnny sees . . . Well, Blazes, comes the far away voice of Coach Harlow, would you mind changing exercises now? Johnny feels his face burn and as the bell rings hurries from the room, followed by general laughter. In Miss Abbottis room he thumbs through his history notebook absently. Suddenly he seems to realize that the teacher is waiting for him to recite on the next topic. He begins valiantly. The period following the Civil War was one of . . . H, he finishes and draws a sigh of relief. He relaxes and again he seems to be surrounded by the haze. Miss Abbott's voice drones on but he is now be- yond its reach. He catches a word or a phrase every now and then. Now he hears the name General MacArthur. My boy, the general began, you don't know all that you have done for your country? johnny looked the great fnan in the eye as he said modestly . . . He looks up to find Willard shaking him. For pete's sake, yells Willard, the bell rang ages ago. john seizes his books and makes straight for his home room. Mr. Crozier looks at him for a long minute before asking, Can't you ever get anywhere on time? He would have continued but for the rush that results Forty-seven at the sound of the bell. Johnny sighs as he too hurries toward the exit. Boy, but itis good to be heading home where I can get a little rest. The trouble with school is that it's the same thing everyday. Nothing exciting ever happens to me. ik HG1 66Zf if Your Reward ....... Doctor Graham settled heavily into his comfortable chair before the warm fire. He liked nothing better than to sit there after a busy day at the hospital and the laboratory and enjoy his pipe as he read the evening paper. Tonight, however, Doctor Graham did not enjoy the crackling of the fire, he was entirely unaware of its warmth filling the quiet study. Tonight, he looked old, older than Sarah, his wife, could recall he had ever seemed before. His shoulders, usually square, now drooped, and the firelight intensified the in- creasing amount of gray in his abundant hair. In his lap lay the paper, unno- ticed, and his pipe had gone out for lack of attention. Jonathon Graham's thoughts took him back to that morning. A little girl, victim of a hit-and-run accident, had been brought into the emergency ward. Doctor Matthews was called for the case, but since he had not been available, Doctor Graham had been summoned to perform the operation. The child had been terribly injured. He could still see the tiny mangled body and the baby's black hair matted with blood and dirt, emphasizing the paleness of her face. He remembered with agony how the mother had looked as she pleaded with him to do all he could to save her baby- Amy's all I got, doctor. You got to save her, you got to. I ain't got much money, but I'l1 do anything to pay you. You got to save her, doctorf' He recalled how she had broken into pitiful sobs as she fin- ished talking to him. Then she had fallen at his feet in a crumpled heap. Doctor Graham had given his best to the operation, but in spite of his efforts, the child had died. Although the hospital staff had decided that there was no hope for the child, he had not been convinced and had held his hopes high until the end. He had done his best, and yet he had failed. It was more than he could bear. During his thirty years of surgery, Doctor Graham had lost only a few cases. This was the first fatality that had occurred under his scalpel in six years, and though he had never thought of sixty as being old before, he was now sick with the idea that perhaps he was growing too feeble for delicate surgical work. These thoughts had been preying on his mind all day, and Jonathon Graham was utterly miserable. Of course, the other doctors had told him that the death was not his fault, but his obsession was so great that he believed that they had done this because he was an old man and they pitied him. He could not tell them how he felt, he scarcely knew, himself. Perhaps someday they too would walk into the operating room full of confidence and come out feeling as he had felt. All the arguments of the staff fell on Jonathon's ears without effect, and he had left the hospital, believing that never again would he take a scalpel in his hands. lfbrly-nigh! It had been heartbreaking to Sarah to see her husband in such a broken mood. How her heart ached for him! She wanted so much to help him, yet she felt so powerless, so useless! Jonathon had not come home to dinner that night. Finally, when he did come, it was almost nine o'clock, and though he had had nothing to eat, no amount of persuasion on Sarah's part could induce him to taste the dinner that she had kept hot for him. He had consented to drink a cup of coffee-it had been so cold walking in the snow down by the river. Sarah finally broke the unbearable silence. Jonathon, dear, isn't there any- thing I can do, or something that I can get for you? I can't bear to see you like this. No, nothing, he answered, why don't you get some sleep? You look very tired, dear. I believe I shall go to bed. I am tired. Won't you come right up? she asked as she put her knitting into her bag. Yes, in a few minutes. I want to stay here a little longer. I'l1 be up in a few minutes. Don,t wait for me,', he replied, offering his cheek for her good- night kiss. All right, dear, I'll leave the light on in the hall for you. And don't stay down here too late, she pleaded as she left him alone in the dying firelight. Doctor Graham sat in the empty room with his head between his hands. He felt as if his world had toppled down about his very head. It made him sad to think of Sarah. She had been so proud of him all the years that they had been together. Certainly, now she would lose that pride in him that had kept him encouraged when things had been hard. s The fire was nearly out as Doctor Graham rose from his chair. He looked out of the window and saw that the storm was growing worse. The front lawn was buried under high drifts and the fine snow appeared silver in the rays of the streetlight. In the distance a train blew a dirge with its choking whistle. Doctor Graham turned sadly from the window and left the room to go to bed just as the clock struck three. As he passed through the hall, the telephone cut the quietness with its jangling bell. Still startled, the doctor lifted the receiver to his ear. Doctor Graham speaking, he said huskily. Graham, this is Matthews. I'm at the hospital. There has been a terrible accident-the storm has just forced down an army plane and two of the pilots are pretty badly injured. You've got to come, you know you're the only surgeon we have left who is capable of taking the responsibility. This is serious, man, dead serious? Then the voice on the other end of the wire waited expectantly for the answer. But-but, I can't. Not after this morning. I'm no good any more. Can't you get Laurence or Armstrong to operate? Don't you understand? . I am in- capable, he answered almost incoherently. No, I certainly do not understand. You're just as good a doctor as you ever were. You've got to come. It's your duty, Graham. Get that, it's your duty. You can't let two men die, as most certainly will happen unless they have the best attention immediately, just because of a foolish stupid figment of your Forty-nine imagination. I'll expect to see you in the operating room inside of fifteen minutes, retorted Matthews hotly. And without waiting for an answer, he hung up. Jonathon Graham stood stupidly holding the receiver in his hand. Mat- thews expected him to come, but how could he, how could he? A Jonathon, dear, who called? asked his wife, rushing down the stairs. It was Matthews. He wants me for an emergency at the hospital. Sarah, what can I do?', he begged. Why there is only one thing for you to dog you must go. Forget about this morning. That is all in the past. I'1l make some coffee to warm you a little, and then I'1l go with you to the hospital. You can tell me about the case on the way, Sarah encouraged. I really want to do it, he confessed, but I'm afraid, Sarah, I'm afraid. I understand, Jonathon. But you have neither the time nor the right to be afraid. Come now, we have to hurry. You have a big job to do, and you're going to do it. 1,11 be right with you as I always am, she said tenderly. Yes, Sarah had always been with him, through everything. What would he do without her? She was his guiding light. When they arrived at the hospital, Doctor Matthews greeted them with, I knew you would come. I can always count on Sarah to make you act sensibly . . . Well, come, we have a big job waiting. Good luck, Jonathon, whispered Sarah as she pressed his hand tightly. 'iThanks, dear, I think I am going to need it. I have never felt this way be- fore-as if my whole future depended upon this operation. With that state- ment he disappeared into the operating room. In a few minutes he came out. We need a blood donor. One of the pilots is pretty badly off. Matthews, I want you to perform the transfusion. I am going to give the blood. I've tested it and it is the right type. Come, man, every minute countsf' Sarah was happy. She knew now that Jonathon would again be as confident as he had ever been, that he had the stuff of which real men are made. Sarah was a little worried, too. Jonathon was not a young man any longer, and a blood transfusion might be very serious. But no amount of argument could change his mind. Soon the door of the operating room opened, and the head of a stretcher appeared in the hallway. Sarah jumped to her feet. That was Jonathon on that stretcher, she had recognized his head. Quickly she grasped the arm of one of the internes who was carrying the stretcher and cried out, What has happened to my husband? Tell me! I've got to know. What has happened to him? The white-coated young man said quietly, Doctor Graham has had a heart attack. The transfusion was too much for him. I'm sorry. How ill is he? Is he going to be all right? she questioned brokenly. I couldn't say, Mrs. Graham. You will have to ask Doctor Matthews, answered the interne. Here he is now. Brewster, take him to Room 24,,, said Matthews. He is very ill, Sarah, he said gently. Fifty May I go to him, Peter? I must see him, I- must, she said to Matthews, her eyes brimming with unshed tears. Of course you may. He would want you with him. Jonathon is very gravely i1l,', he warned. Room 24. Sarah went to Jonathon's room. As she opened the door, she heard his heavy, irregular breathing. When he heard the door open, he looked up and said thickly, Sarah, I have done my best and the boys are going to be all right in time. I'm so glad that you made me come here tonight. You're a wonderful woman, Sarah. I need you more every day. You keep me in the right path with- out faltering .... Yes, Sarah, they are going to be all right. I guess I'm not too old, am I? As he spoke his voice grew weaker and he released his grip on Sarah,s hand. His eyes closed and he said no more. Sarah put her cool hand on his burning forehead. She knew that he could not hold out much longer. She knew that it was over when his hand lay limp in hers. After a few moments she rose from the bedside and made her way to the door. Sarah Graham knew that she could bear her loss since Jonathon had died happy, but her heart ached within her because he would not be able to enjoy his new-found happiness, his blessed reward for sacrificial service until the end. Sarah quietly closed the door as she went out, alone. M. G., '43. ay M y M051 Embarrassing Momenb When I was in my first year of school our teacher planned a program for Visitor's Dayf, I was in a part of the program in which a group of girls were supposed to act as mothers singing their babies to sleep. The teacher told us to bring our favorite doll to school for that purpose. Well, since my favorite was an exceptionally large colored baby doll, I insisted on taking it, although my mother tried to turn my attention to another. The afternoon of the program I proudly took my doll to school. It at- tracted the attention of the other children, so I felt prouder than ever. The teacher had arranged us according to height, and since I was the tallest I was placed in the middle. When it was time for our part in the program, we marched into our respec- tive places and started to sing our babies to sleep, rocking them to and fro in our arms. There I was in the middle singing to my negro child. Although the audience tried its best to keep from laughing, the effort Wasn't enough. What are they laughing at?,' I asked myself. Why, they are looking at me! Then I noticed that the mothers beside me were pointing at my black baby, and they too were laughing. The embarrassment of this incident created such a dislike for my doll that I never was interested in playing with it again. ANONYMOUS, '44, F if ty-one Fifty-two Young America Speaks I must be wise.

G., '43 Li e in Westbrook THE FROZEN CAN I was working in a local grocery store when the Office of Price Administra- tion ordered that all canned meats and fish be frozen, thereby stopping the sale of them. We had received a consignment of canned salmon and sardines that morn- ing, and so put them on the shelves, forgetting to mark them frozen. One of my first customers was a woman. She picked up a can of salmon and wanted to buy it but I said, I'm sorry, ma'am, but it's frozen. She said, Oh, and put it back. A After looking around, she picked up a can of sardines, but was rather dis- appointed when I told her that she couldn't buy it because that was frozen, too. She looked at me in disgust and said, But I don't want to buy it for myself, I want it for my cat and I don't think it would hurt him. H. McB., '43. BUS WORRIES , . On the way home from Boston on the Greyhound Bus, there was a ten- minute stop in New Hampshire. The bus driver warned everyone to be back in ten minutes, or else. We all filed out of the bus. Trying to decide what I could do in so short a time was quite a problem, but, seeing a drug store, I decided just to go in and have a chocolate sundae. That sundae could have tasted very good if I hadn't been in such a hurry. However, I was getting pretty nervous. Before leaving the store, I came across a banner with New Hampshire Written on it, so I bought it. Alas! as I came out, the bus was just leaving. You can imagine what ideas came into my head! I couldn't think of a thing to do but I knew I had to get on that bus. In the middle of the road, I spied a policeman and told him that he just had to stop that bus because I simply could not be left stranded in New Hampshire all by myself. The policeman did his best by blowing his whistle, but the bus driver kept right on going. However, at that very moment a fellow came by and, as he must have known what a predicament I was in, told me to hop in and he would take me to the bus which was stopped on the next corner. As I got in the bus, the driver said, Young lady, I said ten minutes, not fifteen. To this day on, I can't figure out why that bus driver was so irritated. C. T. M., '43. ALL IN THE FAMILY One day a young Frenchman who works with us was asked, How many brothers have you? He replied, I have five brothers who are all named Joe, except Pete, whose name is Alphonse. A. T., '43. Fifty-three SETTLING AN ARGUMENT In the Star, one day, two girls were arguing. As each had a different ticket, they couldn't decide where to sit, up or down stairs. The usher was standing nearby as patiently as could be expected, waiting for them to decide. Finally he got so disgusted he grabbed the tickets out of their hands and said gruffly, Go in there and sit down. M. W., '43. 1-.-..1. -- ONE GOOD REASON When bread-slicing machines were first introduced, a bakery here at West- brook decided to make a survey to find out how it was liked by the housewives. A smart young fellow from this city was hired for the job. Setting forth for his work eagerly, he inquired at many homes and found that on the whole, the women were quite satisfied with the machine. One woman, in particular was very enthusiastic about it. And why do you favor the slicing machine so strongly? asked the young fellow. Well, replied the woman, mainly because we ainit got no knife. L. A., '43. NOBODY HOMEU One night, on Main Street, a man who was a little bit under the weather was knocking on a lamp post. A policeman came up to him and said, What are you knocking on the lamp post for? The man replied, I want to get in. Don't be foolish, you can't get in there, there is no one there, said the policeman. Yes, there is, replied the man, there is a light upstairs. M. B., '43. if M14 Fmnklink Claw The buzz in the room ceased when Mr. Franklin entered. He was rather a stocky man with a high forehead and hair that hung down to his collar. As he put his pile of books on his desk, took his glasses out-of his pocket and proceded to wipe them, every face was turned expectantly toward him. Finally, after he Was satisfied that his glasses were clean, he placed them on his nose and said, Good morning. I believe our assignment for today was to plan an orderly day. You were to set down at what time you were to retire and what time you were to arise, remembering Poor Richard's advice about iearly to bed and early to rise.' Fiffy-four You were to specify the exact hours you should study and what you should study. You were also to specify at what exact time you were to play. How many of you have done this?', Every hand in the room was raised. That's fine. Now, I want you to try to live by that schedule for a whole week. Any questions? A horrified silence pervaded the room, for we had made an outline we thought would please Mr. Franklin and not ourselves. Finally, a girl raised her hand. 'Miss Carlson? Do we have to report the result to you? Yes. I'd like to know how you come out. I believe if you have made the schedule the way I told you to, you should have an ideal day. This will teach you order in your life, self-restraint in your habits, and how to get the most work done in the least time. And now, if there are no more questions we'll start on tomorrow's home- work which is over Poor Richard's sayings. We should really study these. He has something to say, and if we take his advice, we will be wiser and more sen- sible peoplef' By the way, Willie, did you complete that chemistry experiment I ex- plained to you? Mr. Franklin was very interested in chemistry and often helped us with our experiments. Yes, replied Willie, but it didn't work. That's strange. I gave you the correct formula. I know, but I thought it would work better if I used more sulfuric acid. Mr. Franklin removed his spectacles from his nose and looked at Willie with a twinkle in his eye. In your assignment tomorrow somewhere in Poor Richard's sayings, there is some advice for you, Willie. 'Experience keeps a dear school but fools will learn in no other.' just then the bell rang, and the class was dismissed with this thought for the day. D. T., '43.

A few pessimists contended for the graveyards, but others were more cheer- ful and voted for such varied things as the inns, the scenery, the language, and thrift, while someone got it mixed with Ireland and said it was the blarney.

However, she didn't get too discouraged when Cecile told her Sir Walter Raleigh wrote the Star Spangled Banner, but when, ten minutes later, she was told by this same pupil that Pilgrims' Progress was written by Longfellow, she realized this is no mild case. P. S. Later inthe same day, Cecile was insisting that it was a slip of the tongue. She knew all the time that it was Sir Walter Scott who wrote The Star Spangled Banner.
