The Cruise of the lays of 1945 All were on board the Spirit of Westbrook Highv in September, 1941, when it took off for a non-stop flight across the ocean of knowledge. We were very enthusiastic about the trip because We were to hop over the chasm of learn- ing, of which we had very little previous experience. Our storage tanks were filled to capacity with books, paper and pencils. With these, we expected to stay in the air until we reached our destination. Our pilots, upon whom we depended for direction, altitude, speed and progress were very efficiently picked men and women. Our motors of ambition were tuned to perfection, and although they were not hitting on all fours at all times, they managed to keep their course and fly straight ahead. The first year, we were in a cloud for the greater part of the trip and had to buck heavy winds of Algebra, English and Latin, and Science. In the second year, we were at mid-ocean and could see neither shore. Flying was easy so we just drifted along. The third year, however, brought new and added difficulties. The gales began to blow and storms were predicted. Mathematics poured upon us. Land was in sight, but the fog of make-up work was thick and the prospects for a safe landing was uncertain. At last, as the time went swiftly, the heavens clear andiwith the sunshine of happiness to greet us, we realize the Paris of our ambitions--Graduation. And now, as we stand on the threshold of a new and greater life, we wish to thank all of our instructor pilots and those who have been helpful to us in our joyful and successful flight.

Twen ty-se ven Junior Fliglnli The Junior Class is seemingly the most prominent and most eflicient engine in the high plane of good scholarship, citizenship and sportsmanship. As an example of this We have our Junior honor roll consisting of eight girls and two boys. The girls are: Alma Perry, Carlene McPherson, Mary Rose Fran- coeur, Barbara Furbish, Shirley Hughes, Eleanor Hunter, Patricia 'Jensen and Marguerite Shaw, the boys are: Richard Knight and, William Lowell. Keep up your good work honor students. Our Junior athletic group consists of Paul Leighton, Andrew Sinclair, Arcade Lamontagne, Alan Davis and Calvin Torrey as -football players, and Francis Davis, Andrew Sinclair, Richard Goff and Alan Davis on the basketball squad which has come through such a good season. These, however, are not the only active ones in the Junior Class. We have a good group of girls' basketball players with Cora Laverty, Barbara Furbish and Mary Watson. These girls put in a good amount of work and came through a victorious and undefeated season. Our Juniors also branch out into many other school activities like, All Westbrook Night, and dramatics. H We hope that down through the years other Juniors may be as proud of their class and have as strong a support as we have been fortunate and grateful in having this year. Remember that through the flight of years, Westbrook High School days will always be a guiding beacon through the storms of wisdom and human entanglement. With this in mind, future and past Juniors, fly on and happy landings to you all. Your Junior Class Editor, T ARCADE LAMONTACNE. Twcn ly-eight he Flight CPligbf!J Q5 the Sophomores How would you like to be in the air and unable to make a landing until 1947? Such is our dilemma! At any rate we are aboard a safe ship-the Spirit of Westbrook High. The Sophomore class is well represented by its Flight officers. They are Reginald Hall, President, James O'Gara, Vice Presidentg Everett Hanson, Secre- tary, and Sally Smith, Treasurer. They are doing a grand job of piloting. The Sophomore participation in athletics has been worthy of notice. Active in football were Wilfred Gouzie, Haddon Fraser, Paul Caron, Richard Danie, Raymond Nelson, and Clark Johnson. On the boys, basketball team were Roland Chamard, Everett Hanson, Norbert Gervais, and Roger Allan. On the girls' basketball team were Sally Smith, Joan Sullivan, Celia Philibrook, and Dorothy Chaisson. i The students who are leading in scholastic honors on this flight are Berna- dette Christman, Sally Smith, Mary Lou Sorenson, Gladys Doughty, Patricia Gaudreau, Shirley Lemieux, Celia Philbrook, and Jackie Pride. A group of Sophomores did an excellent job of entertaining the crew and passengers of the plane, when they presented a play concerning War conditions, in the last part of January. BOMBSHELLS! ! I A certain Sophoinore girl's lovely bell-like voice has been heard above the roar of the motors, for the past two years. Will a certain Sophomore boy reach the Hall of Fame, after we land, for his poetry? A certain girl has become quite a professional saxophone player. Who could she be? Q By the way, many Sophomore girls will be quite sad when the Seniors depart. A certain girl said she wasn't going to the Sophomore Hop, but we all knew better, didn't we, Joan? Many Sophomores have seen lightning and have had a very bumpy trip, so far. Let us hope that the way will be smoother for them in the remaining two years. ' MARY Lou SORENSON. Twenty-nine be Freshman few On September 11, 1944, the usual group of Freshmen, consisting of the learned, talented, ambitious pupils and those who are satisfied to just get by, began their first bewildering year at Westbrook High School.

Club Under the supervision of Mrs. Thompson and Miss Groves, the Secretarial Club has had a successful year. At the first meeting, the club decided it would sponsor several parties dur- ing the year, for the entertainment of all, but due to the shortage of fuel, the plan couldn't be carried out. However, the Come as you please party, spon- sored in October, was indeed a success. Games were supervised by Mr. Robinson, and everyone present enjoyed themselves. The Slf6'1l0Z6ff6', which is the greatest achievement of the Club, is published each month. Its enjoyment by every student is due to the good work of our editor, Marjorie Flynn.

W Club The W Club swung into its second year with about twenty members remaining from the past year. This club consists of the chosen few among the boys who have earned their letters in one of the major sports. The purpose of the club is to have fun and to promote interest in athletic activities. During the past year, the club sponsored the Inter-class Basketball Tourna- ment, staged a banquet for the football boys, and gave a dinner for the basket- ball boys on the Waterville trip. Plans are being made for an Inter-class Track Meet, which is to be held in the spring. The officers this year are: Patrick Welch, Presidentg Richard Smith, Vice Presidentg and Wilfred Gouzie, Secretary-Treasurer. The President's responsi- bilities were assumed by Richard Smith when Patrick Welch entered the service.

The Library Club Every year the library is becoming increasingly important. This is due to the fine Work the librarians are doing under the supervision of Miss Pauline Abbott. The librarians this year are: Francesta Farr, Emily Paulin, Ellen Dyer, Jac- quelin Sirois, Grace Smith, Emmelinn Fredericksen, Nellie Douglass, Ruth Waterhouse, Carla Guimond, Rita Peffer, and Majella Gaudreau. Besides keep- ing the library in order, these librarians are doing a Wonderful job in helping the students find material. Mr. Sinclair allotted one hundred dollars to the club for the purchase of new books. Fifty-one books were purchased, including biography, science, fiction and travel. It is the sincere hope of the Library Club that future classes will continue with this work, which has progressed so well. Thirty-five Commercial .DqIm1'lmenL, Every year many Seniors leave the Commercial Department to enter the work for which they have been trained. They go out into the world with a good knowledge of bookkeeping, shorthand, typing, and general office work. This qualifies them .to secure positions as secretaries, typists, and office clerks. Under the fine supervision of Miss Davis, Miss Groves, and Mrs. Thompson, the students are taught to do their work accurately and neatly. e In both the general commercial and the vocational commercial courses, the emphasis is still on the regular high school subjects. The general commercial student will elect a one-year course in the practical bookkeeping. It consists of instructions in the process of bookkeeping transac- tions and simple financial statements. The pupil also takes a one-year course in typewriting. This gives her enough skill suitable for personal use and a founda- tion for future practice and study. . The vocational commercial student completes a much more intensive course. In two years of bookkeeping, she is expected to acquire enough skill to be em- ployed as a beginner in an office. In typewriting, the experience of two years' practice enables a pupil to get the essential elements, namely, speed and accuracy for ofiice work. By the time of graduation, most Seniors attain a speed of forty words a minute. In shorthand, the theory is completed in the first year. While in the second, skill is developed. Accuracy of transcription is the goal, and it is measured by the mailable letter as an objective. Encouragement is given to the students who take up shorthand and typing in the Gregg system. This system issues certificates of progress to pupils who obtain a speed in typing at the rate of 30, 40, and go words a minute, and in shorthand at the rate of 60, 80, zoo, and 120 words a minute. The half-year course of oiiice practice is designated to give the pupil a knowledge of the duties to be performed by the secretary or stenographerg such as, the use of office machines, office conduct, and the elements of business organi- zation. A Other subjects included under this department are commercial geography, arithmetic, and business law. ANITA PAULIN, '45. Thirty-:erm I ncfzzsirirzl Dqi2m'ImenL, Few people realize the importance of the Industrial Department in West- brook High School. The shop maintained here is considered one of the finest in the East. Any boy who goes through four years of this training is fully prepared to take his place in this world which is becoming more and more mechanical. The teachers of this course are the best of their kind. Let me introduce them to you. First, we have Mr. Jensen. To those of you who already know him, nothing need be said. To those of you who don't, well, all I can say is that they just don't come any better. Mr. Jensen has charge of the whole shop and sees that things keep running smoothly. His specialty is pattern-making. Any- one interested in this will never find a better place than here to build his foundation. Next, We have Mr. Boyce, usually referred to as Charlie. His friends all know him to be rough and ready. The machine-shop course teachers can't be beat. You learn to run the different machines thoroughly and upon completion of the course, you may consider yourself a fairly efficient machinist. Last, but not least, comes the sheet-metal department. Under the tutorship of Mr. George Burnham, much can be accomplished. Mr. Burnham is a quiet, efhcient man and under his guidance you learn your job and you learn it well. Summing up these facts you can see why Westbrook High School thinks so highly of the Industrial Department. No one can possibly ask for a better opportunity to become efficient in the arts of industry, and I'm sure, if you think it over, you'll agree with me. Thirty-eight ....

Dqbmflmeng, Girls in the Home Economics Division learn the fundamentals of many im- portant household duties. These duties include sewing, cooking, home furnish- ings, and the art of dressing properly. 5 In the sewing classes, the girls are taught the many different seams in dress- making. They are taught how to cut patterns and put them together correctly. Some of the clothing the girls make are dresses, skirts, and blouses. They also knit and crochet sweaters, scarfs, mittens, and stockings. In the cooking classes, the pupils get a broad knowledge of the best ways to prepare food to make it appetizing and Wholesome. Vitamins and nutritional foods are taken into consideration. Furnishing and managing a home are other things the students learn in the Home Economics Division. Under the supervision of Mrs. Fairchild, the girls are given the excellent opportunity of knowing the basic elements of proper living. ' ANITA PAULIN, '45. Thirty-nine Stamlingt Ansel B.

Retrospect: Forty Nature was our main theme this year. We have drawn from nature, trees and flowers. The modern design of a pine tree Was an interesting project in that such a variety of ideas on modern design were unearthed. 'Landscape arrangement was attained by painting scenes from a window with landscape as the background. For Christmas each student designed and completed a florentine desk folder of craft paper. Although the majority of the members of the Art Class were newcomers, We have had a very successful year under the guidance of our instructor, Ansel B. Sterling. BILLY BRIDGHAM, '46.

Therefore, its results have not been ascertained. Barbara Furbish as Gusty Goodrich and Harold Rice as Arthur Peterson have the leading roles and they alone show great promise of entertainment. Gusty is a breezy, hearty, resourceful girl Who'll be sixteen in August. She has been told that she must spend the entire summer vacation at home, as pun- ishment for smashing her father's new car. Keeping an active girl down all summer at home is entertaining to say the least. Arthur Peterson as Gusty's pal is full of theories about modern psychology which prove to be Very inspired.

Forty-three pq ATHLETICS FOOTBALL From the warm, sweltering nights of mid-August, until the numbing cold days of mid-November, Coach Wilkinson's Blue Blazes were hard at work pre- paring for their gridiron campaign. When Coach Wilkinson issued the call for football candidates in mid- August, he was answered by some thirty-five or forty potential members of the team. Some of those who answered him were accustomed to the cracking of leather and bones on the clamp turf, however, these were of the great minority, for most of them were green and inexperienced.

They met their foes on the striped Helds of battle with all the confidence and determination that would have been a credit to a Notre Dame team. The season on the whole was not very successful. The boys dropped a maiority of the games by a very small margin, succumbing by larger scores to only the more powerful teams of this section. The boys did a wonderful job of laying the groundwork of the teams to come in future years. The lettermen were: P. Levesque, Co-Capt., P. Welch, Co-Capt., W. Pomer- leau, R. Guitard, W. Gouzie, A.

BOYS' BASKETBALL In the middle of last November, Coach Jack Wilkinson issued the call for hoop candidates. He was greeted by some thirty 'inet droppersf' In this he was more fortunate than he had been in football, as he had a number of experienced men. Among these were Alan Shakey Davis, Dynamic Alex Goff, Francis Fanny Davis, and Andy Gump Sinclair. To these he added Bill Smyth, who was dubbed Skyrocket by Waterville sports writers. i Not since I927 have Westbrook High fans seen such powerful aggression representing them on the polished maples of Western Maine. Coach Wilkinson gave these mesh rippersn a fast break offense, for results, the record speaks for itself. In some games, it seemed as if the leather sphere was no sooner out of bounds before it was ringing the bell for two points for the Blazer quintet. The grand climax of the season was an invitation to the Southwestern Maine Tournament. Lettermen were as follows: Captain Gump Sinclair, Bill Smyth, Alex Goff, Alan Davis, Fanny,' Davis, Everett Pete', Hansen, Roland Shimmy Chamard, Lawrence Golder, Roger Allen, Norbert Gervais, and Manager Alex Smyth.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL Coach Paddy Davan's basketball team came through an undefeated sea- son with seventeen wins. At the beginning of the season, the prospects seemed very good with four veterans: Mary Xvatson, left forward: Tillie Laverty, center forwardg Celia Philbrook, right forward: and Fern W'ilson, center guard. This left the positions of left guard and right guard open to newcomers. Barbara Furbish, a junior with a little previous experience, filled the position of left guard splendidly and Dorothy Chaisson, a Sophomore with no previous experience, filled the position of right guard like a veteran. This made up the first team but the Hnishing touch was added by two reliable Sophomore subs, Joan Sullivan, a forward, and Sally Smith, a guard. The season started early with a game on November ZISI with Potter Acad- emy which NVestbrook won, 16 to 15. That started the ball rolling and the girls took the next four games. linrly-r1'l1'u On December zznd, they met Cape Elizabeth in a game that turned out to be a thriller. Westbrook led all the way but the Cape Elizabeth girls were deter- mined to Win and they stayed right in the ball game until the final whistle, which showed them to be behind by only one point. The Hnal score was Westbrook, 24, Cape Elizabeth, 23. The greatest thrill Was defeating the strong South Portland sextet twice. On January 19th, Westbrook defeated them, 34 to I 7, in a home game. In the second game, which was on February 9th, South Portland was out for revenge on their home court. Westbrook got off to a good start and soon had a fourteen- point lead, but by the half, South Portland had narrowed'that lead until they were only seven points behind. In the last few minutes of the game, they really came close but the end of the game showed Westbrook ahead, 36 to 33. In the games the girls are the ones who are cheered but they feel that the credit really belongs to Mr. Davan. Without him, Westbrook would have an average team with both wins and losses to its credit, but with him, Westbrook has a championship team with seventeen consecutive Wins and no losses. The lettermen this year are: Captain Fern Wilson, Mary Watson, Tillie Laverty, Barbara Furbish, Dorothy Chaisson, Celia Philbrook, Joan Sullivan, Sally Smith, and Manager Evelyn Meggison. Q, Each year the coaches select an All-Telegram Team from the teams of greater Portland. This year eight players Were selected, five of whom are from Westbrook. Mary Watson, Celia Philbrook, and Fern Wilson were selected as members of the first team, -While Tillie Laverty and Barbara Furbish were chosen as subs.

BASEBALL When Coach Paddy Davan issued the call for baseball men he did not have to contend with the manpower shortage for in the vicinity of forty players reported. However, in this group there were only four veterans. These were: George Gray, Bill Smyth, Owen Smith, and Dick Martin. This he used as a backbone for the club in building a team around these uhorsehide swattersf' During the pre-season exhibition games the club did well for itself, taking two close games from Deering and running over the other opposition handily. However, when the regular season rolled around, the club was hit by in- juries. The most severe was the loss of Cherry,' Morin, who broke his collar bone in a collision at home plate in the South Portland game. The highlight of the season was a victory over Portland High. It was the first time that Westbrook had beaten Portland in any sport for five years. Letter winners Were: George Gray, Captain, Owen Smith, Bill Smyth, Dick Martin, joe Pecoraro, Phil Allard, Bob Breton, Cherry Morin, Bill Bridgham, Wilfred Gouzie, Shimmy Chamard, Dick Smith, Manager, Gump Sinclair.

To these we have sin- cerely dedicated this yearbook. However, the story of one of Westbrook's own boys has come to our atten- tion and I think his exploits are Worthy of relating to everyone. This story of Albert Caron, Corporal, was told me by his brother Donald, a student at NVestbrook High School. Albert Caron was a Sophomore at Westbrook when he left school to join the army in 1940. After training for nearly three months at Norfolk, Virginia, he volunteered to go to the Philippines Where upon his arrival, he Was stationed at Fort Mills, Corregidor. After he had been at Corregidor nearly a year, the Japanese made their sneak attack upon Pearl Harbor. The Carons had not heard from their son for a year when suddenly a post card vvas received from Albert, stating that he had been freed from xxxx, after American trqpops had landed in the Philippines. Of course, the Caron family was greatly relieved but could not tell anyone about their son's escape. A short time later, a letter, saying that he was in Brisbane, Australia, was received. This was the last the Carons heard until November. Recently, a letter from one of Albert's buddies, a sergeant home on fur- lough, was received. This soldier said, After I had escaped from the Japs, I met your son, Albert, fighting with the Philippine guerrillas. This story is one of many similar ones taking place all over the World. As Donald says of his brother and all other men in the service, All We can do now is hope that he will return from his experiences very soon. Fifty-om: What' 4 Di 6p7 67'lC6 40 Yam Mako What a difference forty years can make! In the 1904 issue of the BLUE AND WHITE, the article considered most important in the Literary Section was the letter received from a nineteen-year-old youth of Japan. At the time, Japan was waging war with Imperial Russia. Because this warihad brought Japan to light, the students of W. H. S. became interested in the customs and manners of that country. Names of students in Japan who were studying English, were' received through the kindness of Mr. I-Iersey, Principal of the Sanford High School. Many letters were sent and received across the spacious expanse of the Pacific Ocean. A few excerpts from some of these letters are as follows: I cannot check my tears for joy and thanks when I think of this grand gift, and this favor was chiefly bestowed by your country. Commodore Perry was the first man who saved my country from darkness. We must thank for them to your nation and we think your nation is our motherf' Another excerpt which is of interest is: Indeed we fight for peace and justice. The Russian is an invader and plunderer. Of course I know that the war itself is a great crime, but the war for justice, humanity is not so hateful I believef, Today, how different their opinions are of us and ours of them! No longer do they consider us their mother and no longer do they consider that war itself is a great crime.', Today, no true American student would consider writing to a Japanese student nor vice versa. We as a nation bitterly hate the Japanese to whom we were so friendly and sympathetic 40 years ago. However, we can't help wondering what change will take place in the next forty years. A Leiter for sucky My Dearest Ruth: ' I sat myself down, pencil in hand, to typewrite you a letter while standing. Pardon the pen and ink. I don't live where I lived before. I moved to where I live now. When you come to visit me, ask anyone, nobody knows. We are having more weather this year than before. ' My Aunt Betty, who isn't really my aunt, died and is doing nicely. Hope you are the same. Her health leaked out and she is at death's door. We hope the doctor can pull her through. I started for Camp Livingston to visit you but when I remembered you weren't there at Fort Riley, I didn't go. I laughed instead and started for New York to see you. There I saw a sign which said This takes you to New York,', so I sat there for three hours, but the darn thing Wouldn't move. ' I am mailing you a coat by express, I cut the buttons off to make it lighter. You will find them in the pocket. If you don,t get this letter, let me know and I will mail it to you. Fifty-two Oh, yes, our neighbor's baby swallowed a pin, but they fed him a pin cushion, so he's all right now. ' I meant to send you the five dollars I owe you but I sealed the envelope before I gave it a thought. Your true friend, Lee. L. B., ,47. 'A' The Knitter The needles clicked in rhythm with the little old lady's uneven breathing, as she knitted and rocked back and forth in agitation. A sweater was slowly growing beneath her gnarled fingers. A clock melodiously chimed the passage of another hour, causing beads of sweat to stand out on her pinched, wrinkled countenance. Faster and faster flew the' needles as the race against time grew mote tense. Faster and faster went the rocker. With a moan the woman murmured, Henry said it must be done in a day! She glanced at the picture of an elderly gentleman, her husband. Again the click of steel needles was the only sound in the room. Suddenly the door opened, and a young woman entered with a tray of food. With a start, the old lady pushed the knitting behind her, gazing with an expression of fear at the intruder. 31' ?I' Si' The door of room I9 of the Fairview Home for the Insane closed quietly after the departing young woman. She commented, with a shake of her head, to the quivering old man in the hall, She's much worse today. B. J., ,47. 'A' How lo Rafe az' Zero The students groaned, the room buzzed, as the English teacher sat down at her desk. She had just made an assignment on writing a few paragraphs on How to Do Something. It suddenly seemed as though I had forgotten how to do anything, including the simple art of writing. I sat and sat, my brain was completely lacking of ideas. When I looked at the clock, it held my gaze with a strange fascination because, for some odd reason, its hands were speeding around the dial like demons, and I was powerless to stop them. Clang! With a crash that frightened me out of my wits, if I had any, I was beginning to won- der, the bell rang. As I passed my paper in, I thought, Well, at least I know how to get a zero! - B- J., '47- Fifty-three Fi f ty- four Why Teezebem G0 Mem' When is my book report due? I didn't know we had it today.

ROLAND NSHIMMYU CHAMARD 'A' Om' U zeexlbeefeez' Vifiioe One Winter's morn quite by surprise, A visitor came to Westbrook High, I don't know if he's welcome or not Or Whether he came to teach, or to be taught. He caused a commotion out in the halls, Excited voices were heard through the Walls, He settled his mind on Mrs. Hansen's room And finally there he met his doom. He fled around and made quite a clatter ' And everyone ran to see what was the matter, With the noise and excitement of this and that, The window was opened and out flew the bat. B. D., '46 My Impreffion W1 Hzgb School What is your impression of Westbrook High School? This question was asked students from each class. Some of their impressions are given in the follow- ing selections. We found that it made a slight difference whether we asked a Freshman or a Senior. IMPRESSION OF A FRESHMAN High School is a pretty swell place to be, but there are two criticisms I have to make. One is that the seats are too hard. The other is that we Freshmen usually have to sit on the bleachers during assemblies, while the Juniors and Seniors are Privileged Characters and get the chairs. I wish that the High School were made of wood, so that'it would catch fire. Then, there would be a lot of excitement and less school. School is still the best place to be, though. You not only learn your profes- sion, but you meet many swell kids and nice teachers. School gives you a chance to make your way in the world and the chances are, that you'll never regret going there. M. L., '4s. MY IMPRESSION OF WESTBROOK HIGH SCHOOL Westbrook High is quite the place, People will say of any race, Of course there are always some exceptions When people refuse to do their lessons. We always have had the best of teachers, Even though some call them preachers, But remember, they are helping you Be glad you can learn something new. As for sports and games We are rising in fame, Football, baseball, basketball and such, We go out for them with all weive got. Our boys are fighting for our rights, We're backing them up with all our might, And to Uncle Sam, Westbrook High can say We're buying stamps and bonds today. They asked for my impression of Westbrook High, I'll tell the truth, I won't lie, Portland, Deering, and all the rest, Westbrook High is still the best! K B. S., ,47. Fifty-five WHAT DO I THINK OF HIGH SCHOOL? Well, to be frank-no, I won't be morbid, I'll tell some of the minor hard- ships and pleasures. The question is really a difficult one and would depend en- tirely on when I was asked. For instance, if I were asked the first day of the term, with all exams, all cramming, all worrying done and a completely new page to look forward to, I might say some pretty nice things about school. On the other hand with the last 'week of the term facing me, my attitude would be entirely different. Or if I received my rank card with B's on it, backed up by a substantial number of A's my feelings would hardly be hostile. However, when a teacher gives me, say eighty-five problems to do, assuring me that they are so simple, they can easily be done in half the usual time, even if she's right the amount makes a groan go through the class. Assemblies are really something to look forward to, whereas examinations are really something to look back on. When the teachers are cross, the day seems twice as long. The fact that I didn't retire until the wee hours of the morning couldn't possibly have any direct bearing on my attitude. But I'm like the rest, I'd rather blame the teachers then myself. They say school days are something to look back on. Now, weighted down by studies, I wonder if I will have the same opinion when I have graduated. . W. L., '46. A SENIOR SPEAKS School days are your happiest days. How often that is said by someone who has been out of school some time. I often wonder if they remember what high school was like. You go to school from eight in the morning until one in the afternoon and then the rest of the day is yours. What a Wonderful feeling! There's only one thing, your homework. Oh yes, homework! You think you will get it done in the afternoon-a very good idea. Perhaps you start in the afternoon, but you didn't realize you had so much to do. Oh well, that's all right, there's still all evening to do it. The evening is wearing on, and you have just finished your homework. My, it's time to go to bed. You can go to school next day with the wonderful feeling your work is all done, that's if you didn't skip over something that could wait until tomorrow. , . It's one o'clock again and time to go home. You simply must get that homework done this afternoon because you want to see that movie tonight. Rush home to get that work done! By now it's time to eat supper. Oh yes, you haven't finished that English. There'll be time tomorrow before English, but you forget. You sit and shiver in your seat praying the teacher won't call on you. So goes the wonderful days. How fortunate we are to be- in high school! E. R., '45. Fifly-six Encouraging Futura In football, Westbrook's record was poor, But there was one thing you could alvvays be sure, Those boys fought their hardest 'til the final gun, And even though losing, they had plenty of fun. I know our followers are pretty blue, Because we've not won since ,42, But there is one reason Why Westbrook ranks high, Their fighting spirit is, to do or to die. You will see those gridmen from ,44, Come back next fall ready for more, All but Welch, Smith, and Guitard, Who played in the backfield and Worked very hard And without the services of those fighting four, Lauritsen, Levesque, Pomerleau and Hoar! Most of the others and plenty more Will come back to fight harder than before. This coming fall our boys will revive And recover completely from their bottomward drive, An important factor in ending our slump Will be those fighting ends, Gouzie and Gump. We also look for plenty of scoring, From our powerful back Cherry Morin, And don't forget there are many others, Such as Fraser, Torrey and the Leighton brothers. These boys I have mentioned and others, too, Will report this fall to start anew, And when this football season begins, You may rest assured of seeing some Wins. You will come to the opener with one big aim, For Westbrook's gridmen to win a game. They will be fighting hard and will earnestly strive To make this the season in which they revive. R. HALL. ir Rm' Letter Dayf SEPTEMBER 11--Here we are, back again-naturally against our better judg- ment but everyone seems beaming and satisfied. Hmm, wonder how long this will last. Fifty-seven OCTOBER 1 I-You guessed it-All Westbrook Night. What talent-what fun. Who should we have in ournvery midst but the King Cole Trio them- selves.-Don't you believe it. Congrats Dick T., Pat W., and Harold R. You did a grand job. In fact, you had us all fooled--for a while! ! Another highlight of the evening, the New York Rockettes fWestbrook stylej . OCTOBER zo-Freshman Reception rolls around once more. Oh-those poor . children. Little did they know-but they soon found out. However, every- one had a grand time and girls-you looked swell. OCTOBER 26-27-Our first breathing spell. Righto--teachers' convention. NOVEMBER 17-Ah-the Stenographic Club put on its first party. And-what a party, too. We just love 'em. NOVEMBER 23-24-TWO days of bliss over Thanksgiving. We all left drooling and came back with regrets. Oh, how could We consume so much turkey? DECEMBER I2TYOl1,VC all heard of bats in your belfry, I'm sure. However, we students think it appropriate to change this familiar saying to bats in Westbrook High since that memorable morning last December. DECEMBER 15-The u44,, Club put on their annual barn dance. We really did it this time. Dungarees, pigtails and all. Mr. Robinson looked positively dashing in his plaid shirt and contrasting plaid tie! JANUARY 14-Horrors, horrors. Those exams again. We all sailed through with shining colors though--didn't we? FEBRUARY 2-The Sophomores really outdid themselves. They put on a skit concerning wartime difficulties. It really hit home, too, Sophomores. Par- ticipants were Marjorie Moore, David Harding, Jackye Pride, Jackie Blan- chet, Yolande Lestag, Patricia Gaudreau, and Robert Guitard. FEBRUARY 3-The u44,, Club sponsored a Salvage Drive and made 556348. Honest. FEBRUARY 16 - Washington had a birthday, therefore, we had a vacation. Wasn't it Wonderful? MARCH 8-Honor Parts. The greatest day next to graduation at last arrived for the Seniors. Especially for the top rankers. Who are they? Richard Taylor received the honor of valedictorian and Julius Marzul received salutatorian. The close runner-ups were Robert Knight, William Smyth, Marjorie Flynn and Majella Gaudreau. MARCH 9-Sophomore Ball this time. Cabaret style, no less. Floor show, good orchestra, refreshments--what more could one desire. APRIL I6-At last-another vacation. Let's resolve to have them more often. APRIL 27-The Scholastic Club did themselves proud with the annual Junior Prom. Congrats, Sophomores. JUNE Io-The Seniors attended Baccalaureate Sunday and, may I add, it was the first time in four years that many were serious! JUNE IS1GII'3.dl12.Ci0I1. The class this year Wore caps and gowns as they did last. Good luck, Seniors, may you ever be successful and prosperous. Fifty-eight g Whiz! iz Life ! .' ! The machine roared loudly-the wheels turned swiftly and the rods clacked back and forth like mad. From this bewildering mass of mechanism a tiny object burst forth, along with thousands of others. It was a toothpick - slim and straight--looking forward to a bright and prospekous future. Ah, but it was sadly mistaken! f As it glided peacefully down the never ending assembly line, it, and many of its comrades were suddenly grabbed up by a large something-or-other and shoved into a round box Where they were packed so tightly together that they could hardly breathe! Then a cover was sealed over them and everything was dark and stuffy. It remained this way for about a week. When the poor creatures at last saw the light and breathed fresh air again, they were on a shelf in a small, brightly-lighted kitchen. It was pure ecstasy to be able to breathe freely and stretch their aching limbs! However, the worst was yet to come. One defenseless little toothpick saw two huge fingers coming down toward it and cringed visibly. Suddenly it was snatched up and carried high in che air. When it looked down, the floor was so many miles below that it nearly fainted! Then, much to its horror, it was pushed into a huge black cave lined with many gleaming white, ivory stones. On the floor of the cave was a wide, red thing that looked something like a soft spongy cushion, only it was alive-because it kept darting in and out of the horrible hole. Then the poor thing was shoved in between two of the ivory stones, taken out-and squeezed in between two more. This process continued for nearly ten minutes. When the little toothpick Hnally was taken out of che gruesome place it could hardly be recognized! It had lost all its straightness - its neck was broken and its head was nearly chewed off! All in all it was a complete physical wreck! To top matters off, those two cruel fingers had to break the little toothpick's back, toss it into the raging fireplace and leave it there to its death! Sort of a cruel life, don't you think? P. S. Would you like to be a toothpick? JACKY PRIDE. i 'I' Toe Rising Cost WF Going to School The cost of going to school is nearing the point of inflation. Students not working or without allowances have quite a hard time keeping up with the present day expenses of going to school. In the days of our fathers and grandfathers, school was a very cheap affair, economically speaking. The chief expense was theirschool books, but after one had used the book it was passed down to the next young squirt in line for it. All they had to wear was a pair of old overalls, generally used while doing chores Fifty-nin alsog an old shirt, a pair of high boots in the winter, and sneakers or no shoes at all in the spring and fall. Their hard-working mothers always put them up a hardy lunch with an occasional sweet. At their recess time they Went out in the sand-covered yard by the school and played competitive games among each other. They generally came to school on their own two feet, or if it was too far to walk, they used the family horse, which stayed out back all day. But, oh, how different it is these days. Maybe we do get our school books for nothing, but our poor fathers have to pay good money into taxes to help pay for them. In these times, the boys have to have sport outfits, gay neckties, and all different types of shoes to be a well-dressed member of school. The girls have to have the latest thing in style on all the time, with a different dress every day of the school week. For every social affair they must have a new evening gown or something which costs the old man something. Going to the big dances and sports games all the time amounts to an unfigurable amount of money each year, and the boys are generally paying for two because most of them have to haul along one of the opposite sex. The way our school routine is arranged, we don't have to stay in school at lunch time, but if we want to stay down town instead of going home for lunch, we again have to dish out some more of that stuff that doesn't grow on trees, at least according to our fathers. At recess time, we go to the local drug stores and spend another dime for something to keep us going till school is done. This, too, figures up to quite an amount of money at the end of the year. The transportation costs of the students vary, some of them have their own cars, some always rely on the local bus lines, this is more in the case of the girls who arise just in time to catch the bus, but as a whole most of them walk and save their money for something else. This is the general expense of the regular students, but think of us poor out-of-town boys. They got us into school last fall and then cheerfully announced that tuition had gone up to S100 a year.. We have to pay all this on top of all the rest. God help our poor fathers! G. H., '45. Sixty N S X X X ,,:ig X s:: 1 'Xl X Qizs, S- r N A wigs, x S X Efiist. 53- x Q Q ' WS-Zine.

S. scholars has a good definition for Romance. He said that it was just an itch around the heart that can,t be scratched. In history class, Barbara Miller Was asked by Miss Davis to name the gen- erals in the Civil War. Her answer was Grant, May, Lee, etc. Miss Davis was surprised at this and asked Where she found the names. Miss Miller opened the book and read, In May, Lee and Grant . . . Sixty-one On a troop ship going overseas with a group of soldiers there was one bright fellow who decided that the way to break the tension of all the others was to put on a show for them. He started to do some tricks like a magician would do. He succeeded in making cards, coins and similar things disappear. During his act there was a parrot Watching him, and with every trick he did, the parrot would screech, He'S a faker. He's a faker! just then a torpedo hit the ship and it sank. The amateur magician who had saved himself a board to hang on to was trying to keep himself up when the parrot who was on the ship came over and lighted on the other end of the board and looking sharply at che soldier said, O. K. wise guy, what did you do with the ship? -. Two girls were walking down the corridors and their conversation was overheard by a boy who was walking behind them. They were saying, You know that Senior, David Chase? Well he is making a survey of women's cloth- ing. Let's go ask him how he made out in GarHnkle's. -.ll Girl in 1943: What a man! Girl in 1944: What!--a man? Girl in 1945: What's a man? .l It's a factg Pat Welch told Mrs. Bridges that he would steal all the butter she wanted but to please not send him to the office to see Mr. Philbrook. On November 16, 1944, Miss Chick called Herky Merrill a Two-legged, shapeless lump!', P. S. This information is from a very good source-the Senior college English class. ' Here is the answer to the baffling question as to why fire engines are always red: Fire engines have four wheels and eight men. Four and eight are twelve. Twelve inches make one foot. One foot makes a ruler. Queen Elizabeth was a ruler. The Queen Elizabeth is the largest ship that sails the seven seas. Seas have fish. Fish have fins. The Finns fought the Russians. The Russians are red. Fire engines are always rushin' around. Therefore: fire engines are always red. ARE THOSE TRIPS NECESSARY? On his voyage to Teheran, President Roosevelt passed through a Small vil- lage in the heart of the Iran desert. The natives rushed out and excitedly started to cheer, crying something like Ong lavdos grammis! Ong 'lavdos grammis! This went on for some time, and the President finally asked the interpreter what they were Saying. The interpreter answered, Ong lavdos grammis means, 'That's her husband! That's her husbandl' Sixty-Iwo It didn't seem to get around much, but-someone knows who the two boys were that skipped school one day and were found having a treatment in a Port- land beauty parlor!-including a manicure! .. When I wake up in the morning There's just one thing I can say, I wish I were a mattress So I'd lie in bed all day. -.ll As a beauty I am not a star, There are others more handsome, by far But my face-I don't mind it, For I am behind it. It's the people in front get a jar. . Oh, do you mind, the lady said, If I step in and go ahead? I hope that you will pardon me, But I am in a rush, you see. I'm going out today to dine. I Would you give me your place in line? And so I smile a gracious smile, And meekly bow and lift my tile. I do not mind just doing this, It helps to add to human bliss But when females all combine To come and take my place in line, My temper seems to soar and burst. Who wrote that saying, Ladies First D!! l.. WOULD You LIKE TO BE A Success? Would you like to have an income that would enable you to live well, dress well, and have a few of the comforts of life-now? Would you like to have a fine mansion in the city, a country house, and servants to cake care of your every need? Would you like to be famous, a success in life, to associate with presidents and millionaires? Would you like to take a trip around the world, traveling with the greatest possible luxury, and return with loaids of souvenirs from this trip? Would you like to be loved by the most beautiful girl in the whole wide world? Would you like all this and more? You would? Then shake, brother. Our desires are identical! Sixty-ibn: Q. A. TREES? ? ?
