Tzvenly-tlareo We, the Juniors The Junior Class is very prcminent in all school activities. We started the year off right by electing Patrick Welch, president, Harold Rice, vice president, and Fern Wilson, secretary. Our next official act Was to appoint our ring committee which consisted of Barbara Miller, Patrick Welch, William Pomerleau, Edward Barker, Robert Chipman, and Nancy Lemieux, chairman. This committee selected certain rings without too much dispute. When they presented their selections before the class for a final vote, nearly everyone agreed on the same ring. The next step was being measured for the rings, by this time we were all pretty excited. We were in high hopes of receiving them before Christmas, but We were told that they Wouldn't be ready before January. We built up our hopes once more, but the rings were again delayed. Then one day, they came unexpectedly and We all rushed down to the auditorium to get them. One of the first to arrive in the auditorium Was Billy Smith, but he was destined to be disappointed again, for his was one of several which Weren't ready. Some time later, just before Feb- ruary vacation, more of the rings arrived, that is, all but four, and Billy's was one of those four. We were beginning to wonder just Why he was so anxious to receive this ring, and We came to the conclusion that there must be some girl Waiting for it. Cheer up, Billy, it will come yet. In football the Juniors were very well represented by Paul Levesque, Joseph Pecararo, William Pomerleau, and Patrick Welch. We doubt very much if the coach could get along in boys' basketball with- out the points Joe Pecararo piles up and without the rebounds Paul Levesque gets. Shirley Alcorn, Theresa Arseneault, Theresa Doiron, Frances Harnois, and Fern Wilson have all contributed to the fine record made by the girls' basketball team this year. We are proud of the Juniors who took part in the annual school play, Letters to Lucerne. The audience loved Bette Chaplin as Margarethe, a Ger- man cook. Ellen Dyer as Gretchen Linder, an instructor at a girls' school, did very well for herself. Joan Spiller as Sally Jackson, a Canadian girl, played her part perfectly. Richard Taylor was excellent as Hans Schmidt. David Chase and William Smith helped to make the play a financial success. At the half, Marjorie Flynn, Richard Taylor, Majella Gaudreau, Robert Knight, Julius Marzul, and William Smyth were leading in scholastic honors. One of our chief claims to fame is our ability to make noises, most of them queer. No one in school can dispute the fact that the Juniors are able to make more noise than any other class, in fact, it's even been said that We can make more noise than all the other classes put together. In most cases, Harold Rice and Pat Welch are the champion noise makers, but George Smith, Herbert Merrill, and Paul Levesque help them a great deal. Speaking of queer sounds, have you ever heard Joe Pecararo? Maybe Windham air builds healthy lungs. The girls do their share of making noises, too. If any one enters a class of Juniors, the girls can be heard either whispering or giggling, oftentimes both. 'Tis said that even though our class is very active in all school affairs, the teachers, at least, will remember us for our noise. We were all sorry to learn of che death of one of our classmates, Mary Twombly. Mary was always loyal to her school and she Was very active in the musical field. Your Junior Scribe, FERN WILSON.

ROBERT FERNALD, '46. 1 V Twenty-.tix Freshmen. On September I2, I943, Westbrook High School opened with one hundred and fifty-six shaky Freshmen. Almost everyone had some idea for a career and each had chosen the course which best suited his idea. Forty students chose the college course, eighty chose the commercial, and thirty-six the industrial. For class officers we elected Conrad Rioux, president, Paul Caron, vice presi- dent, Everett Hansen, secretary, and Daniel Cressey as treasurer. On October fifteenth, we were formally welcomed by the Seniors as well as the faculty at Freshman Reception. The program was directed by a committee of Seniors assisted by Miss Chick. Participants in the program were: Frank Hall, Robert Marean, Paul Caron, Beverly Currier, Gladys Doughty, David Harding, Shirley Gallant, Gloria Fougere, Jacwelyn Blanchett, Bernice Scott, Thelma Bart- lett. The rest of the evening was spent in dancing, but I wonder if Bob Marean's sore feet the next morning were wholly from dancing? When the time came to leave the boys were a little nervous and worried. The girls, however, had no fears for Bradley QRedj Nason had threatened to put eight inches of cold steely into the first upperclassman that touched a Freshman girl. All in all, a wonderful time was had except for a few Freshman boys. The Freshmen did very well' in sports this year. Those who went out for football included: Wilfred Gouzie, Philip Morin, Bradley Nason, Haddon Fraser, joseph Gaudreau and Alfred Porell. We had a very fine basketball team under the supervision of Coach Davan. A few Freshmen were good enough to play in several of the Hrst team games. These few included the two Bridge Street lovers, Everett Hansen and Roland Chamard. The other Freshmen who went out for basketball were: Philip Morin, Bruce Taggart, Roger Allen, Alfred Porell, Louis Chamard, and Robert Jordan. On October eighth, All Westbrook Night was held. This year four Fresh- men participated. They were jackie Blanchet, Helen Langevin, Bernice Scott, and Lenora Bell. g We are proud to say that four Freshmen have received honor cards this half. These students are Jacqueline Pride, Mary Lou Sorenson, Shirley Lemieux and Sally Smith. Your Freshman Editor, DAVID HARDING. Twenty-seven.. ea' .Qiier 735915 - 1943-1944 1943 SEPTEMBER I2'V8C3tiOH is over! We all traipse back to school with the memo- ries of a pleasant summer tucked away in the back of our minds to make rooms for heaps of new learning which we expect to gain this year. OCTOBER 8,-Our first social event of the year. Yes, it's All Westbrook Night. Dick Taylor and Harold Rice make peppy masters of ceremonies. A group of four girls, namely Helen Langevin, Jackie Blanchett, Francesta Farr, and Constance Libby, put on a snappy dance number. Pat Welch and Eddie O'Brien tickled the ivories, making us all jump with the jumpin, jive. OCTOBER Ij'1FI'CSl lII'l21I'1 Reception rolls around once more, bringing with it fun for all but a few of the Freshmen who were requested QFD to do some stunts on the stage. Many upperclassmen did not attend, however. The reason?- Duke Ellington was in Portland. OCTOBER 28-29-We had two days off while the teachers struggle over Ration Book 4. Some of the pupils, however, spent a few hours of their time here at school acting as guides. Two of the girls on a noon shift had to share their lunch with a kitty. NOVEMBER Io-The newly organized W Club put on movies in the auditorium, followed by dancing. The change from the usual dances was appreciated by all Who attended. NOVEMBER 25-26-A real vacation this time! That is, two days Of it. Since there are no ration points needed for turkey, we all got our fill.

The Seeeefmfiezl Club This year the commercial department of Westbrook High School is making the entire school sit up and take notice of them. How? The Secretarial Club, of course. The club was organized in October of this year and to date has over 50 members. The club meets twice each month with Mrs. Thompson and Miss Groves as faculty advisors. It is the aim of the Secretarial Club to promote good will and fellowship and to give its services to all who call upon it for help. Recently, the club sponsored a poverty party. With games, under the di- rection of Mr. Robinson, and the help of Charlie Leighton's orchestra, it proved to be a big success. The Stenozettef' the club newspaper, is one of the club's outstanding ac- complishments. It contains the latest news, jokes, gossip, short stories, and edi- torials. It is published each month under the capable supervision of the editor, Winnifred Libby. The project for the year is obtaining the school census for the city of West- brook. This is a house to house canvass which requires the entire cooperation of each member of the club. The officers of the Secretarial Club are as follows: president, Jean Googinsg vice president, Rosamond Hanna, secretary, Marcella Ledouxg treasurer, Lucille Naylor. JEAN GooG1Ns, ,44.

The club meets twice a month under the supervision of Mr. Robinson. The aim of the club is to promote school spirit. It has done this very suc- cessfully this year by sponsoring a dance and social and a barn dance. Everyone, including several members of the faculty, took part in the fun and had a Won- derful time. By sponsoring these dances, the club has raised money which will be used for a Worthy cause. The club plans to hold its annual banquet later in the year. GENEVA FRANK, ,44.

The Scholmfif Club This year the Scholastic Club has a membership of 37 pupils. The club is made up of the students in the Sophomore College English Class. The club started right off this year with the election of ofhcers. These are: president, Calvin Torryg vice president, Dwight Adamsg secretary, Carlene Mac- Phersong and treasurer, Leanne Shibles. The club is entertaining and educational. For instance, one Week We had the privilege of hearing a talk given by Mrs. Frank Roberts, a Westbrook Repre- sentative to the State Legislature. She told of her many experiences while at the State House at Augusta. Another meeting was the Truth or Consequences game We played. Some of the consequences were very amusing. The Scholastic Club is the school organization which puts on the Junior Prom and also publishes the Blue Flash, a paper with short stories, poems, news items and other things of interest. This club has proved a great success in the years past and We hope it will continue to be a success. CORA LAVERTY, '46. Tfairlj -zero J... ...IK ..

Riding Club, 1943-1944 When the Westbrook Riding Club was started in September of 1942, we had a membership of thirty. This year the membership increased to thirty-five. At our first meeting this year we elected the following officers: president, David Chase, vice president, Leanne Shiblesg secretary, Edna Wilsong treasurer, Harold Rice. We chose Miss Fairchild and Miss Pillsbury for our faculty advisors. In the fall we had a large number of the members turn out for the rides, the advanced riders went on the trail and the beginners received instruction. As we progress we receive awards which tell just exactly what we are able to do. Even though riding was discontinued through the winter months as a school activity, a few who didn't mind cold weather still rode. We hope that when general riding is resumed in the spring that all members will be able to go. I know that we're all grateful to Mr. Tomlinson and the instructors for help and to Mrs. Tomlinson for her hot cocoa and popcorn on those snappy days. EDNA WILSON, ,44.

The Library Cfzzb The aim of the Library Club is to improve the school library by adding new books and also by putting into use a few smaller things which are necessary to a library. - The club has so far this year carried out its aim very successfully. It has bought and placed in the library fourteen of the most popular books. These books are: Thunderhead Tidewater See Here, Private Hargrove Guadalcanal Diary c X o Postmaster Valiant Comrades We Followed Our Hearts to Hollywood Goya's Etchings', Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo Twenty Best Film Plays Gne World Shake Hands with the Dragon The Robe Queen of the Flat-Tops Here Is Your War U. S. Foreign Policy The Apostle Besides buying books, the club has bought library cards such as are in use in all public libraries. It has also added a number of small things which have helped the librarians a great deal. The library is in charge of at least one librarian each period and it is also open during the afternoon. The librarians are members of the club who have volunteered to give their time and efforts to help the students and keep the library in order. Under the leadership of Miss Abbott and through her unceasing efforts the library is continually increasing and improving. BARBARA ALLEN, ,44. Tlnirty-four Commercial Dqbazrrmenz., Today, more than ever, clerical work is playing an important part in both civilian and military life. Many of the boys and girls who have graduated from Westbrook High are doing clerical work in the armed forces and others have taken positions in business oflices and in civil service work. Whenever there is anything to be typed or mimeographed, the members of the Commercial Department come to the rescue. They are, indeed, a great help in carrying on the functions of the school. The subjects taught in the commercial courses are as follows: business arith- metic, bookkeeping, shorthand, typewriting, oflice practice, American History, commerce and industry, and commercial law. Shorthand, typewriting, book- keeping, and office practice are the most important subjects in helping a student to obtain office work. Shorthand is taught in the last two years of high school. The first year is devoted to the study of the fundamentals of the subject, while the last year con- sists of dictation and the use of the typewriter to transcribe the notes. Speed and accuracy are stressed in both typewriting and shorthand. To urge the students to develop speed, the Gregg Company awards certificates to the students who pass the Gregg monthly tests. From the bookkeeping classes the students learn the underlying principles of bookkeeping and every possible business transaction for use in business offices. Office practice is studied during the Senior year. The rotation method is used in order that each student may have an opportunity to spend an allotted time on each office machine. Filing according to the Alphabetical and Numerical methods is also studied in the oflice practice curriculum. After completing this course, the students are familiar with practically every type of office Work. The commercial course at Westbrook High is an excellent and comprehen- sive foundation for the work which any commercial student desires to do later. WINNIFRED LIBBY, '44. Tbiftyfvo Speech The aim of this year's speech class has been to enable the students to address any type of audience with ease, poise, and freedom from fear. The students have been taught the value and importance of business inter- views. They have studied the etiquette of both social and business introductions. From study of parliamentary procedure they have learned how to conduct a business meeting and have put this knowledge to practical use in the various clubs to which they belong. Members of the speech class have had practice in making after dinner speeches, both impromptu and prepared. As this magazine goes to press, preparations are being made for the annual Prize Speaking Contest sponsored by the American Legion.

The girls of the Home Ec-Room have learned a great deal of useful infor- mation this year. The girls canned over goo quarts of food during the first month of school. The practise and drill which the girls received is of great value. Nutrition, the study of foods, taught the girls how to plan nutritious meals to suit the individual, and select foods of low point values. Variety cuts of meat, such as kidneys, liver, and others can be obtained for a few points, yet yield a high nutritive value. In the study of Child Care they learned to feed, to bathe and to dress a baby, and to discipline and tell stories to children of all ages. Many girls are putting this into practise now because so many parents are working. Home Nursing consists of learning how to care for a sick patient, change beds, care of the sick room, and trays for the patient. A course in sewing is also part of the year's activities. The girls learn how to make many different seams, and the use for them. When they become more skillful, they make different articles of clothing - blouses, slips, pajamas, and other articles. The girls knitted enough squares to make one afghan, and have a good start on a second one. These afghans, which are to be contributed to the Red Cross, should be very attractive with the many bright-colored yarns with which the girls have been running around school. The Senior girls, at any rate, feel they now have the ability to follow a recipe, and to carry on in any home emergency. GLENNA GREENE, ,44.

Am' The war with its great need for skilled men has emphasized the importance of training received in the Industrial Departments of public schools. So urgent is this need that the war department has set up specialized courses in an endeavor to speed up the training of these boys soon to be Army material. Such courses as physics, drafting, pattern making, machine shop, sheet metal and cabinet making with related mathematics and blueprint reading, all of which are taught at W. H. S., serve as a valuable foundation for a student and aid materially in his more rapid promotion in branches of the Army, Navy and Air Corps. Students from this department have repeatedly proven this by their own examples. Many of these boys are attending college under Army or Navy supervision. All boys entering high school Qin most casesj have had at least two years of Manual Training. Up to this time this has consisted mostly of Wood work. In the future this department will become more generalized in electricity, shop and air metal, Wood training, home mechanics and other handicrafts will be offered. Thirty-eighu Lelioy McCormick, Robert Poirier, XVilliam Kelson. In the high school program, Industrial boys are given these four shops: Machine, Pattern, Cabinet and Sheet Metal. Wfhile doing this they are supplied academically with related courses such as mathematics, sciences, drafting and blueprint reading, and Iinglish. It is the constant hope of the department director that the blending of the academic and practical training, which this high school is able to offer so satis- factorily through its teaching staff, may give to this community a group of in- telligent, Well-balanced, and well-trained citizens. It is impossible to mention all of the many and varied items produced in our shops. However, while these make an attractive and appealing list they in them- selves are important. In the Words of our director, Wliat has happened to that student's thinking and reasoning While producing these things? If our boys be- come better mechanics, more intelligent craftsmen and more cooperative mem- bers of our community and industrial life then certainly we can justify the money spent by the taxpayers in support of this departmentf, XVC of the Industrial class of ,44 are forever indebted to our instructor for the opportunities and education they have given us and it is with deep regret We have to leave the shops of Westbroaik High School.

She is not an ordinary teacher, she does more Worrying about the students than the students do themselves. She is also active in all bond drives, finances, and many other things vital to the school. Sometimes I Wonder if we really appre- ciate her. Again we say, thanks a lot. Forty Letters Z0 Leeeemea This year,s assembly play, Letters to Lucerne, is the story of six girls of different nationalities, American, English, Canadian, French, Polish, and Ger- man, who as the present war breaks out, are attending an American boarding school in Switzerland. The title comes from the fact that the girls, before retiring each night, read aloud the letters received during the day. From this practice each learns of the effects which the events of war have upon the families of her friends. The play shows the changes that take place in the feelings of the girls, one toward another. It is with difficulty, understanding and patience that Mrs. Hunter, mistress of the boarding school, teaches the girls from the warring coun- tries the true meaning of democratic living. Though Letters to Lucerne was not played to a capacity audience, the play is said to be one of the most worthwhile plays ever presented by W. H. S. Much credit for its success should be given to Miss Fairchild for her untiring and able direction. The cast follows: Mrs. Hunter, headmistress of the girls' school ,..... ...,..

For many years the enrollment of the art class has been limited due to the large space occupied by the tables on which the students worked. This year the art class was presented with individual drawing tables and chairs so it now can accommodate twice as many students as formerly, with plenty of room for everyone. Because of the talent and enthusiasm of the students, much Work has been accomplished though the time for art class is very limited. This year they won first and second prizes in a poster contest, in competition with six other high schools. First prize went to Billy Bridgham and second to Dwinal Farley. The mural, painted by the art class of 1943 was dedicated at the Walker Memorial Library last November. This mural, still on display in the children's room has been highly praised by prominent citizens of Westbrook. In one corner of the art room, Mr. Sterling has arranged an honor roll which contains the names and pictures of former W. H. S. art students now in the service of their country.

Fortyfmr ATHLETICS FOOTBALL - 1943 This season Coach Cormier started off with an inexperienced team. They played their first game of the season at Biddeford and lost 59 to o. The boys dropped the next five in a row to teams that were really good but bowed out to South Portland and Cheverus by only I9 to o each game. On Armistice Day, they played St. Louis High at Biddeford which they tied I4 to I4 in one of our best games of the year. The next and last game of the year was played with Old Orchard. At the half the score was I9 to o but the boys fought hard in the last half, scoring two touchdowns and extra points. However, the game was lost I9 to 14. In this game, Bob Breton and Cherry,' Morin scored the touchdowns that kept us in there. Lettermen for the year are: Co-Captains Bob Lecomte and Bob Breton, Paul Levesque, joe Pecoraro, Andrew Sinclair, Cherry', Morin, Robert Burton, Wil- liam Pomerleau, Nucky Leighton, Calvin Torrey, Wilfred Gouzie, Chris Winthers, Walter LeBel, Pat Welch, Bradley Nason, Eddie Carr, Alfred Swett, and Manager Amie Deshailes.

BOYS' BASKETBALL - 1943-1944 Coach Leo Cormier's inexperienced five have met the best teams in the state this past season. Unfortunately in wins and losses the records show that there were more losses than wins. Putting aside the records and looking at facts rather than Hgures, West- brook's basketball team has gained enough experience to put them on top in seasons to come. They pulled surprise punches in taking Sanford twice. They played good ball against such excellent teams as Cheverus, Portland, Edward Little and Morse. By the time these teams were through they found out that we really pack a solid punch and are out there Hghting to the end. In Pecoraro, Sinclair, and Fanny', Davis, Coach Cormier has a trio that will cause much trouble for the opposition next season. Joe is one of the out- standing scoring forwards in the state, while Gump', Sinclair in feeding Joe has definitely proved himself an outstanding floor general and play-maker-a valu- able asset for next season. In l'Fanny Davis, Coach Cormier has a promising center and scorer for the next two seasons. Levesque, Goff, Alan Davis, plus the Freshman team will boost our stock in future games and possibly restore West- brook to its proper place of leadership in the basketball set-up. Bullet,' O'Gara is the only man stepping out by graduation. The lettermen in basketball are: Sinclair, Pecoraro, O'Gara, F. Davis, A. Davis, Goff, and Levesque. Fam -reren.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL The girls' basketball season opened this year under the supervision of the new coaches, Miss Pillsbury and Mr. Paddy Davan. There were only four vet- erans, Cecile Tanguay, Janette Theriault, Mary Wfatson, and Fern Wilson, to start the year, but there proved to be talent among the newly trained girls as the results of the games indicate. The season had many surprising upsets such as scoring in the last minute of the game against Deering making a 24 to 22 victory. Later in the season we tied them. Another thriller was the defeat of the strong Cape Elizabeth sextet by a 46 to 43 victory. In the return game against them we lost by a 30 to 31 margin. The most exciting game was defeating the unbeaten Falmouth team twice C41 to 18 and 30 to zgj. Credit should be given to the second team for their willingness to come to practice to help in the success of the varsity team. There were not many girls out for practice, however, those who did come were very faithful and practiced well. Praise should be given to some of the outstanding players. Celia Philbrook, a Freshman, proved to be an excellent forward, together with Mary Watson, Cora Laverty and Captain Janette Theriault. The guards, Cecile Tanguay, with exceptional leadership ability, Edna Wilson, Fern Wilson, and Theresa Dorion should not be forgotten for their splendid work in the games. Forty-nina Our second team was invited to participate in the Round Robin at South Portland. They came out the victors by defeating South Portland, Cape Eliza- beth, Falmouth and Deering. The girlskshowed 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. The girls certainly appreciate the work of the new coaches for the fine team they have produced. Mr. Davan does say that the outlook and prospects for next year's team are very good. So support your team to the most of your ability and help make their season next year a complete success. Lettermen for this year are: Captain Janette Theriault, Cecile Tanguay, Edna Wilson, Betfy Olesen, Beatrice Harnois, Fern Wilson, Mary Watson, Cora Laverty, Celia Philbrook, Manager Theresa Arsenault.

What a game that was! The boys were determined to win as they had lost to Portland only a few days before. As the 9th inning started, the score was 1 to I. It was still a tie as the 9th ended. It was not until the 16th inning that the score changed and Westbrook came through the winner, 4 to 1. Westbrook went on to take the next four straight.

THE CLUB The XV Club was organized this year under the direction of Coach Cormier. The members are all boys who have earned their letters in athletics. The officers for the new club are: president, George Grayg vice president, Pat Welchg secretary and treasurer, Dick Smith. The club started with thirteen members and the number has increased rapidly since the beginning. The purpose of the club is to furnish sweaters and letters for the Senior members. The boys have a good time as evidences of their recent initiation show.

How many people there are in this world who just stand back and wait for someone else to go ahead with a new idea. The child looks forward to the day when he will be grown up and can act as the grown-ups do. The Freshman is just waiting for the time when he will become a Senior and can do just the same thing that the present Senior is now doing. Every year, day after day, the majority keep on going through the same routine without ever dreaming why. Why does school start at eight o'clock anyway? Simply because it always has, and most of us Qexcept, of course, a fewj are there on the dot. Why must the Seniors have their English class first period before they are hardly awake? There is only one answer -it's always been that way. Why doesn't recess last a good half hour? Why do our courses require certain subjects? And graduation-that glorious day that everyone looks forward to-is never any different. Always we see the white dresses and new suits, hear the fine speeches, and watch the class marching proudly down the aisle. But wonder of wonders, this year the Seniors have made a change! The class voted for caps and gowns to be their graduation garb. Some of them are glad, others still a little disappointed. One fellow-student declared, But they have always worn white dresses and why shouldn't we? The wise reply came forth, Let,s be different! I'm tired of doing something just because it,s always been that way. Now it seems that the class of ,44 has started some- thing. Who knows what else will change before they leave? Whatever it is, let's not forget that Variety is the spice of life. Fwy-jjlur M e-ow ! ! As I entered school I noticed that Evelyn had on a new dress. I say no- ticed --hymph-how could I help it with those yellow and purple stripes crossed by the red and green ones? And if there was a band around the bottom of the collar, it could be used for a belt-but then, I guess 'she could use the belt, the dress fits her like a burlap bag. What a darling new dress, Evelyn, where did you buy it? QI want to keep out of that placelj It looks like something from Heaven! fat least the first two letters are rightj . Thanks, but I didn't buy it, I made it, all alone, too! No, I wouldn't have believed it!,' QAm I kiddin'?j Where did you learn to sew like that? fI'll bet my dog could do better.j I guess it just comes natural to me. I'm glad you like-Oh! there goes Joe down the hall. I'm going to catch up with him, I just know he'll ask me to the dance tonight-byew fHymph-she,ll probably ask him to the dance-that's the only way she'll get there with that facelj EMILY GRAF, ,44. af A Frefbmmcl Goff fo Hzgb Selma! The Hrst day of High School we didn't do much but go to classes for about a half hour and get our books. Mr. Philbrook talked to us and gave us our schedule. The second day we really started. The only thing I didn't care for was ris- ing with the sun. My first class was Algebra which I thought I would never understand. Those plus and minus signs were certainly confusing. History seemed just a mystery. Latin at first seemed truly a dead language but as time went on it seemed to have more life. English is so difficult I wonder that we are able to speak it at all. Changing classes I felt foolish because everyone was talk- ing, having a good time and knew where they were going. I had to look behind the door to see whether it was room 206 or room 208. Of course, I knew enough not to ask an upperclassman where a room was because I would probably land in the basement. When the last bell rang I was certainly glad to go home because I was just about starving. I didn't care much for studying in the afternoon but I guess no one does particularly. Here is a poem about getting ready for school. Oif goes the alarm at 6.45, I turn on the radio to get some hot jive, I try not to think of the long day ahead, Of teacher and books and things which I dread. I go hither and thither, I'm all in a rush just trying to catch that 7. 30 bus. SALLY SMITH, ,47. Fwyfiw A Lemon in Honor He was so young to be talking about honor! ! What could a sixth grade pupil know about honor? This question arose when his teacher, Miss Wilson, had suddenly turned around from the blackboard and seen Thad Sobieski in the act of passing a note to Jimmy Russell. Ordinarily she might have overlooked it, but the children had been un- usually noisy this week. They all knew she and Bill were being married next week. She knew it would be only an innocuous schoolboy message, but she said firmly, Thad, bring that note to me, please. All eyes turned to Thad quickly at the sound of her voice. The note that Jimmy just passed to you, bring it to me,', Miss Wilson repeated. There was a hint of terror in Thad's eyes when he turned to Jimmy Russell, behind him. The other boy's eyes coldly searched Thad's. Thad turned to face Miss Wilson, speechless. He couldn't give her the note, he just couldn't. Thad, Miss Wilson's voice was sharp. ' Thad searchingly looked at the boy beside him, the girl on the other side. There was panic in his face now. He strongly shook his head, negatively. Miss Wilson couldn't believe what she saw. Thad was the politest boy in the class. He had only been in America a year, and he seemed to like school. Thad, you refuse to give me that note? Yes, he whispered. I cannot. All rightf' Miss Wilson said coldly. You will please remain after school. Finally the bell rang and all of the others left but-Thad. He wanted to cry. He would almost prefer to die than to have this happen to him. It was so won- derful here in America. i Do you want to give me the note now? You must have thought I would read it to the whole class. I wouldn,t have done that, Thad, it's simply that I can't have disobedience in my classf' She extended her hand, The note, Thad. There were tears in his eyes. Oh, please, Miss Wilson. Do not force me. You may do anything to me. You may beat me, but I must not. , He was trembling. There was something so pathetic about him. Very well, she said slowly. You do not have to give me the note if it is so important to you. However, you must write on the blackboard one hun- dred times, 'I'm sorry I was disobedient., I will write it five hundred times, he said desperately. One hundred will be enough, she said, looking at him wonderingly. I will be back in half an hour. Miss Wilson wondered if it could have been fear of what Jimmy Russell or some of the other boys might say, or do, if he had given it to her that led him to act as he did. He had finished and was waiting for her when she returned. She glanced at his well written English on the blackboard. He was doing very well for a boy who had only a year in England before coming to America. Fifty-:ix You may go now, she said. For a moment he stood there, his eyes trying to tell her something that words could not. Then he turned and left the room. jimmy Russell and Billy Graham got hold of Thad in the coat room next morning. Did you give here the note? they asked him. No, Thad answered. 'iWhat did she make you do?,' Write on the board for thirty minutes. Then Jimmy broke in, i'Hey, you're all right, ain't he, Billy? Billy grinned, Sure.', We,re going on a hike next Saturday, Jimmy said. Want to come along? I would like it very much, he said joyously. The next afternoon, just before the bell rang, a committee of some of the students walked up to Miss Wilson and handed her a small box, tied neatly with white ribbon. Miss Wilson looked at the committee, then at the rest of the class. What is this? she asked. R Open it,', they all said. Miss Wilson opened it. She took out a card that said, To Miss Wilson, with congratulations on her marriagef' The card was signed by all thirty-five of them. Inside was a lovely set of glass dishes. Miss Wilson beamed happiness. I think you're all a bunch of darlings, she said. Then the bell rang. Jimmy came up to Miss Wilson. You see,v he began, the note you wanted Thad to give you the other day was the one we were passing around, about this. We were telling the kids what the gift was and how much it would cost them apiece. That was the note? she asked. Sure, Jimmy said. That's why- But she stopped him. Please go find Thad and send him to me. They were all gone when Thad came back. uThad, she began, I just found out about the note. I-I'm awfully sorry. I hope you can forgive me for making you stay after school. He smiled shyly. You know, I admire you for not spoiling the surprise, and for accepting punishment for something you really did not deserve, but I could hardly have blamed you if you had given the note to me.', She knew she had said something wrong, because he looked at her coldly. But, Miss Wilson, that would not have been honorable, he said. He was so young to be talking about honor! ! Was it that important, Thad? He suddenly became very grim. Miss Wilson, my father received a note from a friend. The Germans shot him because he would not give it to them. This was really the same thing. There were others who were trusting me. HERBERT MERRILL, ,45. Fwy-seven.. Familiar Faces Have you noticed that we all seem to fall in a few categories? Can you recognize yourself in the following list, or won't you admit it? Blanks have been left for you to fill in your ideas as to whom the ideas fit. If you need more room there are always the margins. T The Student, ----- ----- , is one who seeks knowledgef' We have a few really hard working students here. You can recognize them by the piles of books they are always carrying and by their cries of I did some experiments with the hemadromometer this morning, or I have been having quite a discussion about the relative merits of various forms of zymurgyf' Thus will you know them. Then there is ----- ----- , the Committee Woman. She is always huifing and puffing because she just has to hurry to see Miss Matthews about that ticket com- mittee. She bursts cheerfully into your room during home room period and ex- pounds the desirability of a certain play or a dance. Then with never a flutter of her eyelashes she bounces off to help Mr. Robinson prepare for a barn dance. Always on the go! ! We mustn't forget to mention ----- ----- , usually a boy, who objects t0 being cornered by Mr. Cormier and taken to the gym. He feels even worse about it when he is outfitted with a mop and told to help wash the floor. Then for the only time in his life he remembers that English assignment that should be done for Miss Fairchild. In some schools there are Practical Jokers like ----- ----- . You know the type. He simply canit resist the temptation of putting a tack in one of the seats about to be occupied by a girl. Or there is the person who finds it uproariously funny to relieve you of your chair just as you are about to sit down. We mustn't forget the person who flicks wads of nice moist gum into the hair of the girl down the aisle. Of course W. H. S. has none of these! ! ! Have you noticed that every time you turn around lately you bump into a group of dreamy-eyed girls such as ----- , ----- , ----- , and ----- , softly singing No Love, No Nothing and at the same time talking madly about Joe and Pete and Tom. It is as much as your life is worth to hear yourself above the din. What would we do without that gang of boys in the corridor who liken themselves to Harry James and think they have the same effect on the girls as Frank Sinatra. Madly they beat on the walls or anything handy, they hum and whistle and never seem to get tired. Perhaps you can name them and the girls who jive to their music.', No school is without its girl who swings through the corridors completely oblivious to anyone else unless it is that cute blonde boy at the top of the stairs. She greets you with a slightly vacant smile or she doesn,t greet you at all. She may also be the one who crams her books full of V-Mail letters and makes quite a show of them. Then there is ----- ----- , the Braggart, who stomps through the corridors glaring and bellowing at everyone. He tries to start arguments over the slightest thing. No one can be right unless he is. Often he is also the pesky little creature who sleeps all through a class and then bothers you for the answers during the test the next day. Nice fellow! ! ! Fwy-eighb It wouldnit be right to slight those sweet couples who find it very cozy be- hind Miss Groves's door. They do look so happy as they stroll through the halls, hand in hand. They never seem to realize that there is anyone else within a hun- dred miles. I have heard people complain of the very queer sensation they have when looked through by a blissful couple. We can't close without mentioning the Seniors. They tear through the school as though everything depends on them. The underclassmen complain bitterly about those Seniors. They have worked for four long, hard years to get to their august state and feel that they have certain privileges that they mean to enjoy. Keep your hopes up, Freshman, some of you will get there, too. There are many different human beings in W. H. S. But the one who makes life so much brighter and gayer is the girl or boy with the cheerful, ready smile. They are the ones who hustle around doing things for others and who are always trying to push W. H. S. into the foreground. They more than make up for the few who aren't quite so nice. To paraphrase Cornelia's remark: These are our jewels. - E. M. T., '44. With Apologies to too 2311! Pmlob A D is on my rank card ' I shall not pass.

Yea, though I study far into the night I have no success, for it is still with me Thy rod and thy staff do not help.

Surely teachers and Latin will follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the Freshman Class forever. ROLAND CHAMARD, '48. Sit Two Pomjf Lino When you have to be at work at a certain time, and there is something important you would like to tell a friend before leaving, there is nothing more aggravating than when you pick the receiver of the telephone up, hearing the other party on the line. You put the receiver down, wait a few minutes and try again. This time you hear a record on a Vic playing, then all of a sudden you hear Gosh, Mabel, isn't that a swell arrangement of 'Boogie Woogie'? You FUD-nina hang up again, only this time you put the receiver down a little harder. Then you start pacing up and down the floor, with hands clasped, probably cursing a little bit, unless you have recognized the voice, and look about you, tiptoe back to the telephone stand, as though you were committing a crime, pick the receiver up softly to hear if your rival has a date for the evening, and With Whom she has it. Finally, fifteen minutes have elapsed and you try again. By this time you are very irritated so you pick the receiver up brusquely. You hear a pause, then a voice says very coldly, Nosey and they both start giggling. At hearing this you are ready to start shouting at them, but pause, count to ten to let your anger cool off, and then hang up once more. After this you put your rubbers, coat and hat on, and as you are going out of the door you think to yourself, Well, twenty minutes have gone, by now they must be through. You pick up the receiver for one last try, but alas, this time you hear a description of some dress. You go out the door very impatiently and mutter to yourself all the Way down the street, but by the time you get to your destination, you are probably Wondering Where she is going to wear this pretty dress of hers. Oh! for more private telephone lines! LUCILLE LACHANCE, ,44. 'ik Unjirgemzble Moments When our English teacher assigned us the job of writing our most unfor- gettable moments, I felt very upset and informed her that I had no desire to expose my past. It Was all in vain. When the papers Were turned over to the Editorial Board We had quite a time sorting them over and checking up on them. We learned a great many things that we had never suspected! ! It is amazing how many little Freshman girls have been excited by the smiles of a Senior boy. Who would have expected the thrill of some of the boys when they beheld an UA on their rank cards in Deportment. Well, here is a small group of these stories assembled for your en- joyment. We hope they amuse you as much as they did us. There were nine of us in that small room. We were all tense when the door opened. The man who had been appointed guard over us then entered and called out a name. The doomed individual Whose name Was called stepped forward silently, bravely, without looking back. That was the last We saw of him until much later and then it would have been better that We had not. This operation was repeated until finally my name was called. I left as the rest before me had. I was told to walk ahead of the guard who had come for me. It seemed to be endless hours, yet it was only a matter of minutes before my Walk down the darkened corridor was over. At the door the guard knocked and asked if they were ready for the next man to be inspected. I heard muffled Words, and then the door was opened. I Was admitted with a slight push. Sixty It was a huge room lit only by candles which cast an eerie light. I felt a sudden chill as a piercing scream filled the air. Then they forced me down the room toward a desk, around which were seated a number of men. They stared coldly at me and then a domineering person behind the desk began firing ques- tions which I' dumbfoundedly answered. After the questioning was over, I was moved further down the room and blind-folded. I knew not what to expect next-and then I was bound with my arms behind me. I was suddenly struck a countless number of blows. This was carried on for some time until finally the leader told them to stop. Then I was taken to a table and forced to bend over. I was then stripped to the waist and a red hot iron was brought to my body. I could hear my flesh singe in the heat. It was a cold rather than a hot sensation. Then a sound much like that of hair being sheared was heard faintly. I was then turned free. At this point, the awful truth dawned on me. MY HAIR HAD BEEN CUT! l My initiation into the W-Club was over. For weeks after this episode, all that I received was ridicule. It was a matter for debate among many as to whether I resembled more closely the famous umonsteri' of Frankenstein's crea- tion, or Flattop of the Dick Tracy comic strip. This was the incident which of all my High School career will remain the most memorable. W. LEB., '44. When I was a Sophomore in High School, I had 5th period study in the Main Room. My teacher at that time was Mr. Jordan. I was assigned a seat in front of a boy who was always pulling my hair. One day, Mr. Jordan came up to me and whispered, If he bothers you any more, hit him over the head with a book.', Later when the boy started to pull my hair I picked up my Commerce and Industry book, which was the largest one I could find, and struck the boy, with all my strength, over the head. He was taken by surprise and of course everyone around us laughed. A few minutes before the bell rang, Mr. Jordan came tramping down the aisle and whispered again, UI told you to hit him over the head, not kill the poor fellow. It was there that I wished the floor would open 'up and swallow me. At least the boy never pulled my hair again! ! R. P., '45. My most unforgettable moment did not happen in Westbrook High but it concerns one of our teachers whose name I shall willingly omit. One day in Portland, by the bus stop at Forest Avenue and Congress Street, I came up with one of the company's big trucks and stopped for the red light. All the people stood on the curb until the light turned green and then they started across and I started, too. They all stepped back. That is all except one woman that I failed to recognize then. She kept right on walking and showed that she had no intention of stopping. I got mad and said a few things no gentle- Sixty-one man would say. I spoke of women and pedestrians in general and then I ex- pressed my views on this one person in particular. She turned around and I saw who it was! ! I needed no more. I stepped on the gas and went as fast as I could. Everytime I see her now I think of that time. M. H., '45. It was a warm, spring day during the year 1943. After znd period a group of boys were having a discussion about the Air Corps. There were many com- ments as to who would make the best bombardier. We somehow managed to get through 3rd period. You know what it is like on a spring-like day to have to study. It was with a sigh of relief that we put away our books and hurried out to recess. In front of the Physics Laboratory there were two strong, brilliant, young men still discussing the Air Corps. One of them fMr. X.j, who hoped to be a bombardier, wanted to prove his skill, so he picked up a paper bag and filled it with water. Then he opened the window that was on the third floor, overlooking the rear entrance. just as Mr. X. was about to drop the bag of water on an empty Dixie cup on the ground far below, he saw the Coke-man coming up the walk, loaded with coke. Mr. X. decided that a moving target would be better than the Dixie cup. As the precious seconds ticked by and Mr. X. waited for the right moment, the target came into range. Mr. X. dropped the bag of Water and everyone was filled with tense excitement as we watched the target and the bag of water draw closer together. Suddenly, there was the Coke-man standing, looking up at us, with his clothes dripping wet and a broken, empty, bag on the top of his head. We all pulled in our heads and slammed the window. We agreed that Mr. X. was an excellent bombardier. The next morning as we filed into Room No. 33, our home room, the first thing the teacher said was, Which one of you boys hit the Coca-Cola man with a bag of Water?', The room was filled with absolute silence as We sat through a lecture which lasted the whole of period one. D. R. F., '44. ,. - --1 --'- On September 25th, we were scheduled to play the Hrst football game of the year, with Biddeford as our opponent. The game was there and we arrived about one o'clock and we all were pretty nervous. The Biddeford team was heavier and more experienced than ours. They may have outweighed and outscored us but they never outfought us. In the first of the last quarter, Westbrook called time out. The Coach thought that someone had been injured and he ran out onto the field accompanied by Cobb, the manager. After several seconds, Cobb came back to the bench and asked which of us wore size 32 pants. There were many of us there who had that size but no one would admit it. The truth came out that Walter LeBel had torn his pants badly. Naturally Cobb called on me and said, Get into Eddie's car and exchange your pants for these. What could I do! ! Sixty-two After a space of time I went back to the bench amid the laughs and jokes of the team and the crowd. Am I glad that wasn't a home game. What a way to start my first football season! Z ! C. O. T., '46. My moment is so unforgettable that I can even remember the date. It was November 12, 1942. The day before, I had managed to buy four packages of gum. I had brought two packages to school to give to a friend of mine. As we stood talking we began to argue about how much we could put in our mouths. We decided to take a package and chew it up and see who could keep it the longest. Just then the bell rang and off we went to our classes. On entering my next class I forgot all about my gum and began to work. That was When it happened! ! ! The teacher asked me a question but I had so much gum in my mouth that I couldn't speak. I began to feel warm and felt the sweat coming down my forehead. I squirmed in my seat but all was in vain. Finally, I tried to open my mouth but it just wouldn't open. The teacher gave me a very funny glance and went on to the next student. Then she came to me again, but I couldn't answer, so I opened my mouth and pulled out the gum. At once the students began to laugh but I was so embarrassed I didn't think it was very funny. From then on I vowed I would never again chew a piece of gum in a class-room! ! ! E. H., '46. My most unforgettable moment came the day Hap Crozier kicked me out of his Algebra class in the school year of I942-43. I was sitting in my special chair that I had leaned up against the front of the first desk in the third row, when a wise guy decided to kick the chair out from under me. Down to the floor I went! ! As I was rather peeved I sort of swore as I set up the chair. I had no sooner sat down when out of nowhere two small, puny hands reached out and grabbed me by the shirt collar. By some mysterious power it seems, I was lifted out of my seat and towed at a terrific rate of speed towards the door. While speeding along at such a rate under somebody else's power, I heard a rip. By the time the hall had received my company, I did not have much of a collar left. There I stood with a piece of collar in one hand, clutching the railing with the other. ' This was, indeed, the most exciting, most unforgettable moment I have ex- perienced since I entered Westbrook High. A. P., '46, Sixty-time When I was in my first year of High School, I was rather shy and very quiet. I had a study period in the Main Room with Mr. ----- as our master. One day there was a great big Senior who began paying a little attention to me. But, alas!-I wasnit the only one who noticed it. Mr. ----- did also! He made a remark about how the Seniors always picked on some little green Fresh- man. But the most embarrassing part was Mr. ----- making the big Senior and I sit by him at his desk with our backs to the class. I'll never forget how red my face was! ! I've never felt as insignificant since! l t G. G., ,44. A friend of mine was having a little girl trouble and he asked me to help him. He was a very good friend of mine so I said, Yes. That afternoon, We went to his home and made up a little speech which plainly stated that he was tired of being followed around. We waited until his mother had gone out before we tried it. The girl had been calling up about 3.00 0'clock every afternoon. We waited and around 3.00 o'clock the phone rang. I answered it and a feminine voice asked, Is this ----- CI Won't mention any namesj . No, I answered, but I have something to tell you ----- and I gave my little speech very well, I thought. Just as I finished the voice said, Call ----- to the phone, this is his mother! ! - R. F., '46. ir Bargain Days There is nothing that annoys me more than desperate women on bargain days. The ad appears in the paper, Come at once! Big Sales! Everything at reduced prices. I think here's my chance to see what I can get for my two cents. I get up early in the morning, about 8.00 to be exact, rush into town and find that every woman in the city has had the same idea. The crowds are so thick around the doors y0u'd think you were attending the Rose Bowl game instead of such a common, everyday thing as a bargain sale. After being shoved around for about an hour the doors are finally opened and I'm pushed into the store. From then on it's every man for himself. Occasion- ally, I get a glimpse of the counter but most of the time all I can see is heads. By the' time I do get near the counter, practically everything has been sold and I'm so tired of being poked, shoved, and pulled, that I'm ready to go home and go to bed. I think something should be done about these bargain-day battles. The women don,t have any consideration for anyone else. They know that they are Sixlyjow getting these items at a reduced rate, at least they think they are, and they'll fight their way through to get what they want. If everyone would just be calm and walk into the store instead of flying, everyone would have the same opportunity and be satisfied. But you just try to tell this to a lot of bargain-minded women. I'm for it a hundred per cent, but I doubt very much if it could be done. I have thought of every way imaginable to solve this problem, but all my ideas have proven unsuccessful. If anyone, at any time, should hit upon a solu- tion to this problem please notify me immediately. In my estimation no reward would be too great for anyone who could find a solution to my problem. GARDINAL KEEFE, '44. me Backstage In the annual play of 1943 which was called Letters to Lucerne, I was picked as stage manager. Now by most mistaken people, and myself included, at first, it is merely a pushing of furniture, here and there, about on the stage when told to. How warped my idea was I soon found out. Not only does the stage mana- ger have to shove things into place, but he also has to push some of the actors and actresses on stage into proper position at exactly the right moment, to keep these same people on the stage by going through various wavings of arms and much stamping of the feet. Sometimes he has to supply words which have eluded the actors at the wrong time and to help revive them when they stagger back stage. To say nothing of distributing hairpins, chewing gum, Life Savers, find- ing lost letters,- books and even some clothing and telling some boy that he is really twice as attractive with rouge on, so that the make-up man will not have to do the job over again for the iifth time. When the curtain opened on December I 5th, the stage manager was by no meansithe calm and collected person he was supposed to be, for if that curtain did not roll at exactly 8.00 o'clock he was to blame. There is a saying that goes like this, If anything goes wrong, it's the manager's fault, but if everything goes smoothly, itis the director's fault. I really enjoyed, however, being stage manager and if I have stretched the truth a little bit, here and there, there was no offense meant to anyone. ELIZABETH ALLEN, '46, if The Picture in the Window She sat in the crowded cafeteria, the noise and chatter making her feel more alone than ever. She sipped her coffee and read Ann's letter over again. Ann wrote that Al was going to buy a house and if Sharon was coming to live with them, and she knew she was welcome, she had better say so now so that they would buy a house large enough. Sixty-fue, Sharon put the letter away. An extra room-as if they expected her to stay with them all her life. This is my older sister, Sharon. Yes, she lives with us. No, she isn't married-- She paid her check and walked out. It was hot in the street. She didn't want to live with Ann and Al but she couldn't stand New York much longer, being alone in this big city was torture. She walked along slowly, looking into the shop windows, anything to delay reaching that cell they called a room. She looked in a photographer's window at the many pictures of newly married couples, at the cute babies. She often looked in this window-all those brides with homes of their own and not just a room, with husbands and ...... There was a new picture in the window. A photograph of a soldier, a square-faced young man with quiet, honest eyes, friendly mouth, little too large ears and a hint of broad shoulders. She stared at the picture and the eyes seemed to stare right back at her. I bet his name is Bill! she thought. Don't know why but he looks like somebody called Bill. just a plain, everyday sort of guy-- likes movies and dancing, laughs a lot, works hard and doesn't make too much money but hopes to get married some day. Faithful, kind, big, strong Bill! Then because she was shy she did something that seemed very bold to her. She went into the store and asked the little fat photographer, Pardon me, sir, but isn't that a picture of Frank Johnson in the window? The soldier boy? The small, plump man was wrapping a picture and he looked up at the tall, dark-skinned girl and smiled. No, ma'am. But itls some picture. Came out so good I put a copy in the window. Name is Bill Powers, I think. I'll see. Like to be sure about things? He thumbed through an order book. The girl almost laughed. So his name was Bill! Bill Powers. She replied, I'm so sorry, I thought it was someone I knew. 'The man held up the book. Yup, here it is, Private William Powers, Co. A, Inf. Training, Camp Crofit, S. C. Fine picture and he only ordered one. Most people take three, anyway. But like I said I made two because they came out so good. Yes,', she declared, the address still clear in her mind but afraid she'd for- get it. Well, sorry I troubled youf, No troublef' the man answered. He went to the door to watch her jot down something on the back of an envelope, then walk on down the crowded busy street. Nice girl, the man remarked. He liked to talk even to himself. The old-fashioned kind. Now she rushed to her room, threw off her hat, sat down, and wrote a long letter. She started by telling Bill it was all sort of silly, writing him but she simply had to discuss her problem with somebody. Then she told him she was twenty-three, not too pretty, and how she felt so alone and hated her dull job, what swell people Ann and Al were, but if she went to live with her younger sister in that small town, well, it was admitting she was licked and she'd be an old maid all her life. She had to let Ann know and what should she do? It was a long letter and she wrote Bill a lot of things she had never told anyone before, little things about herself and what she wanted. She told him all this because she signed the letter Sharon, only that, no last name or return address. Then Sixty-six she ran out to the corner and put it in the mail box and sighed-she'd been afraid she'd tear it up. She went to sleep that night seeing Bill looking at her letter among the many letters he probably received from his family, his girl, maybe his wife-no, Bill couldn't be married, he wasn't married! she told herself convincingly. The next morning as she rushed to work she passed the window where Bill's picture was. She winked at him and felt happy enough to whistle. That week she sent Bill two more letters, but never a return address. On pay day she paid only half her room rent and sent Bill some cigarettes and a neat cigarette case. Ann wrote again, wanting to know if she was coming or not. Al had his choice of two houses but he had to let the man know soon because of the short- age in rooms and homes for defense workers. Later in the week as she was walking by the photographer's shop she saw him sitting out in front and as she passed he called out, Did you ever see it so hot? For a fat person like me summer's no good. Believe mef' I do believe you and it is rather warm, isn't it, she answered, getting up enough courage for something she'd been thinking about. By the way, that picture of the soldier, the one I thought I knew, she was hoping her voice sounded casual but her heart was trembling, could you sell it to me? She blurted that last part out. It looks so much like my friend that I-I'd like to- to buy it. The fat man wiped his forehead with a damp cloth. I guess so. Can you wait awhile, a week? It draws a few customers. Oh, yes, a week will be fine, she remarked happily. She left feeling light and gay. As soon as she reached her room, she wrote Bill another letter, this made the tenth one in three weeks. She kissed the letter and went to bed. But late that night when it was too hot to sleep she thought of Bill and suddenly cried out, I'm a fool, a stupid fool! and then burst into tears. She didn't need an alarm in the morning because the landlady pounded on her door and grumbled that she didn't see why anybody had to get a telegram at six in the morning and she hoped that it wasn't bad news. Sharon felt a little sick as she dressed and had breakfast and walked slowly to work. She was late but she didn't care.' She had to decide now, one way or the other. She walked along casually and stopped suddenly: Bill's picture was not in the window! She was almost in tears as she ran into the store. The pic- ture, you promised I could have it. The stout man was wiping his face with his handkerchief. It's in the back room, he said. Hot again, ain't it? She pushed the curtains aside at the rear of the store and there was Bill, the real Bill! She whispered, Bill,'-only her voice never made a sound. The stocky six feet of Bill came toward her, looking different from his picture but still as handsome, the uniform showing the breadth of his shoulders, the slim waist. He drawled, Hello, Sharon, and his voice was deep and warm -the way she knew it would be. She just stared at Bill and then as she remembered the many intimate things she had told him she blushed. Finally, she asked, But how did you ever find out? I mean, Where I was? Sixty-seven.. You see, I haven't anyone writing me and- No one? He grinned, Yes, an old aunt down in Georgia, but she doesn't write very often. Then you started writing and since I had only been in New York once- just for a day-I tried to think who knew my address. There wasn't anybody except this photographer. I'm on leave now, and I came up here and asked him. He said it must be you.', I She uttered a very faint and shy Oh! I sure appreciated the letters to a guy that's all alone. Listen, Sharon, I could never answer you, but now that I,ve found you, I have so very much to tell you. And I only have two days left of my leave. Can we go some place and talk? A 'He took out a cigarette from the case she had sent him and she suddenly felt excited and happy. He took her arm as if he had known her all his life. She smiled and replied, I guess we can, Bill. They waved goodbye to the photographer and as they walked out happily, Bill exclaimed, First, about living with your sister. Please don't let her get a room for you, unless it will only be for the duration. I mean-you know . . . JOAN SPILLER, '45. s A Busy Daly Vangie, we're not going to school today, was Beverlyis comment one morning in late spring. But, Beverly-Z We're going to take a nice long walk in the woods, and if there are any questions, my father's on the school board and he'll settle everything. But, didn,t you read the notice on the bulletin board about skipping,- Mr. Chase, the new principal, said that if anybody was absent and came back to school without an excuse-', Yes, I know, she couldn't come back for a week. Well, I don't care! If I don't want to go to school today, I wonit, and nobody can make me, especially that old Mr. Chase. Evangeline didn't bother to continue the argument. She had seen Beverly in action before, and she, being of a weak character, was no match for her friend. Half an hour later, the two girls were walking along a lonely wooded valley beside a river. They had discarded their schoolbooks and were apparently en- joying themselves, when Beverly suddenly said, Oh, look, they have already put up the cables across the river. They weren't supposed to be finished till next week. Let's cross on them. Vangie, the pessimist's, reply was, Oh, no, they might not be strong enough to hold us. i Sixty-eighb But Beverly won, and a few minutes later they were balancing on the swinging cables, when a young man appeared from the underbrush beside them. What are you doing up there? Those cables aren't hitched very well on this end. You better get down quick or they'll break. But the warning came too late, the underpinnings had already given away, and the girls splashed into the cool water below. Br-r-r, the water's cold,', was Vangie's next comment. Help, I can't swim, Beverly said, thrashing her arms wildly in the air. Well, stand up, for heaven's sake, was the man's answer to the last. Beverly did, and much to her surprise the water came only to her waist. How can you girls be so dumb, and besides aren't you supposed to be in school? Here, give me your hand, I'11 pull you out. He extended his hand to Beverly. And if I were you Iid go home and put on some dry clothes, and then- We didn't ask for your opinion,', Bev said angrily, And besides, if your old cables weren't safe, why didnit you put up a sign or something?,' and with that she turned and started walking angrily in the other direction. Are you coming, Evangeline?'5 T After the girls had put the distance of over half a mile between themselves and the uinsultin' man, Vangie said, Please, Beverly, our clothes are soaked, can't we do something about it? We could stop in this warm field and pick flowers, and it wouldn't take long for our clothes to dry. Beverly was still too enraged to object so they did. W After a while her anger cooled and she remarked about the prettiness of the flowers. Aren't these purple violets beautiful and aren't they pretty with these little three-leaved green vines as a background. Let's pick a bouquet? The girls picked flowers until their clothes were nearly dry and they couldn't concentrate on it any longer. Then they began to wander slowly back in the direction of the cables. As Vangie leaned against an apple tree she saw in the branches overhead a hornet's nest. Oh, look at the hornet's nest. My mother said the other day that she wished she had one to decorate the living- room with. I'll get it for you. Oh, be careful! There's probably hornets still in itf' I'll shake it a little to seef, Beverly 'gave it a little shake and as nothing happened, she climbed up in the tree and started to disengage it from the branches. As if at a signal, the same man who had been at the cables appeared again and said, You girls, I wish you would please go to school.-Hey, what are you doing? - There aren't any hornets in it, and besides it,s none of your business what we do. Now, will you please scram? she retorted angrily. There were hornets in that an hour ago. OH-OH, here they come, and at that moment a large swarm of them came out of the nest, and after circling around, perceived Beverly, Evangeline, and the young man. Come on, if we duck in the river they can't sting us.-Hurry up, girlie, you'll never make it, he added, addressing Beverly. Sixty -nina The trio splashed into the river, and submerged themselves in the shallow water. The hornets circled around and tried to sting the exposed parts. But they soon tired of this sport and returned in peace to their humble domicile, from which they had been so rudely disturbed. Well, it's about time, bad luck sure follows you around, I should spank you, but it really is extremely funny, and he burst out laughing. It was con- tagious for Vangie burst out laughing, too, and as Beverly didn't like to be different, soon she was laughing merrily with the other two. A second time, the young man helped them out of the stream and sent them on their way with the parting words of Now, will you please behave yourselves. I've got something else to do besides watch you. As the time was waning, they meandered slowly to where they had left their lunch, and proceeded, with the help of the surrounding ants, to eat it. Then, as their clothes were still wet from the second dunking, they decided to find an open field, where the sun would dry their clothes. After an uneventfulhour had passed, the cable-man again appeared, apparently going home, for he car- ried with him, his tools and a red jacket, which he flung over his shoulder. You again! school lets out pretty soon, doesn't it? What would you do if I were the truant officer? You aren't, are you? said Vangie aghast. Course not, don't let him fool you. He is just a common laborer, he hasn't enough brains -but she didn't finish, for what she saw was enough to stop anyone dead in their tracks, but it didn't stop her for long. She and the others started instantaneously, all with the same idea, for coming straight for them was a charging bull. He had seen the red jacket in the distance and had come a-running. Beverly ran for a tree, the man for a different tree, and Vangie ran for the fence. They all made it, but the bull pursued the cable-mann with one idea in mind, to get that red jacket. From the Waving branches, the two refugees urged Evangeline to find the farmer who owned the bull and to rescue them. Well, I hope you're satisfied. It was your fault this time, Beverly said, after Vangie had disappeared. We probably won't get away for hours. That bull looks as though he intends to stay theref' As silence greeted her remark, she said in a different tone, Hey, what's your name, anyway. If we're going to be stuck in neighboring trees 'for a couple of hours, We might as Well get ac- quaintedf' Then Beverly proceeded to tell him of her school affairs. Holy cats, I get awfully sick of going to school all the time, and we've got a new principal at school. Heis an old hawkeye, and cause he can't stop the kids from skipping, he's got a new law, that says anybody who does it, will get expelled. Boy, you're surely getting into something then, aren't you? or maybe you're just taking a Vacation? Oh, I'm not worried, my father's on the school board. He practically runs the school. Nobody dares to go against him, and he doesnit like Mr. Chase too Well either. Gee, it's getting late. Oh, look, the bull's going away, and sure Seventy enough, the bull slowly but steadily Worked his Way to the further end of the pasture. When Beverly reached home that late afternoon, a surprise was in store for her. Mr. Chase had already called up Beverly's father on the telephone, and later, a still greater surprise greeted her. Mr. Chase and the very man whom she had been dodging all the day came to see her that night. Mr. Chase greeted her with, So you took a little vacation today. I thought I'd have to dispense with your presence for a week, but my son, Bob, here, tells me you were helping him with his surveying. I understand that is what you are discussing in Geometry, but if I hadn't myself told Bob to take a day off, it might be a different story. Beverly couldn't say a thing, she was too startled, but later she cornered Bob, and said to him, Why didn't you tell me he was your father. I should be so mad at you, but you were awfully sweet to save me from being kicked out. Don't thank me, besides you Won't be able to go to school for over a week anyway. You haven't found out yet, but those pretty three-leaved green vines you were picking all the day were poison ivy. RUTH E. WATERHOUSE. 'k A Tjmfbf Szzggeftiofzn I doubt if there has ever been a W. H. S. assembly when some students have not been disturbed by the talking of thoughtless people seated nearby. These assemblies are just as much a part of one's education as are History and English. If there happens to be a program that is not of special interest to some students, it may be of interest to others. It is not possible to satisfy everyone at the same time. The only polite thing for the uninterested person to do is to keep quiet, so that those who care to may hear the program. Not only do some students con- sider an assembly as a good place to discuss the latest gossip, but they also regard it as a time to release pent up energy. This they do by clapping, cheering, or Whistling, whenever the slightest opportunity arises. It is not necessarily the most patriotic personnwho makes the most noise when the picture of our flag is flashed on the screen. Nor is he the most appreciative who cheers the loudest and longest at the sight of the picture of a famous personage. These practices are bound to cause some students to miss a portion of every program. Though applause during the showing of pictures is annoying and in poor taste, it is de- sired and to be expected in some types of programs. Not only does a student's conduct make him open to criticism but it also reflects upon his home training and even his parents. Then there is always the lesson of the Golden Rule-to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. JANET SPILLER, ,44. Seventy-ana .
