At the first of the year it seems great to be at the top of the list. Ever since we were freshmen and saw the seniors around school we all dreamed of the care- free day when we would be in their place. At first it seemed a long way off. NVhen we became sophomores We didn't seem much closer, but we were on our way. As juniors our spirits were lifted by the thought that we were nearly to our goal. Finally after those years of toil We earned the privilege of being called seniors. Life was moving busily along and we didn't have a care in the world. Suddenly one day someone said, What are you planning to do next year? That was a new question for us, but it was one that We would hear many times. Before this we had had no worry about next year, some one had always told us what we were doing. Now it was quite a different story. We had to Write to colleges, take tests, study vocations, and make those important decisions that will influence our entire lives. In the spring of the year we exchanged photos with our classmates. These pictures began another new wave of thought through our already overworked brains. As our collections became more complete we began to think of the final day when we would all be together-graduation. We, as seniors, have had our ups and downs, and have gained valuable ex- perience in working out our personal problems. Now We are to venture, prepared and unafraid, through the portals of W. H. S., our teacher, to meet and, we hope, overcome any obstacles that may arise to hinder our progress through life. PETER THOITS 6138617 iccz tion We dedicate this 195 4 Blue 86 White to Milton A. Philbrook, who has been a member of the W. H. S. faculty for thirty-two yearsetwenty-six of these being spent as principal. He has at all times been an example for the young people under him, who will always remember him as the smiling man who warned them about writing your own ticketv. He has written his own ticket to the respect and friendship of all who have known him ....

In Memorz'am The Senior Class of Fifty-Four wishes to pause and pay tribute to the memory of Katherine LaBrecque and Adrian Dyer. Both began with us as Freshmen but passed away during their Junior year. As We prepare to graduate in June, our thoughts turn to these friends who would have graduated with us.

Our class is well on the road to success under the leadership of our ofhcers: Gene Waters, President, Betty Knight, Vice-President, Judy Pinkham, Secretary, and Ronnie Stultz, Treasurer. This is our president's third consecutive year in oflice. Scholastic ability has put our class on both the major and the minor honor rolls. Many of the students on the brighter sidei' are Judy Bailey, Claire Begin, Jerome Brooks, Ann Delcourt, Ernest Fielder, Roberta Hudson, Judy Pinkham, Betty Madsen and Gene Waters. In the sports world we are no exception, but contribute much to the school. Bill Bragdon, Bill Hamilton, Jim Levesque, Gene Waters, Ronnie Estes, Leo Pratt, Ronnie Stultz, Ray Welch, Larry Holston, Dick Grant, and Jack Ander- son are our old stand-bys in basketball. A little bruised and battered but still alive after the football season were Roger Vaillancourt, Royden Belanger, Jim Roby, Gene Vfaters, Bruce Libby, Dick Grant, Ralph Smith, Bob Larry, Ronnie Estes, Charlie Gemmell, Ronnie Stultz, Jerry Sickles, Lawrence Dill, Clifford DeRoche and Hormidas Aube. The girls making the field hockey team were Claire Begin, Terry Sirois and Claire Paulhus. The girls who ended the basketball season very nicely were Ann LaBrecque, Pat Cousens, Ann Delcourt, Louise Berry and Lorna Payne. Judy Bailey, Betty Knight and Louise Berry represented the class by joining the cheerleading squad. Their sparkling performance at all the games was a credit to our class. In dramatics and prize speaking We are off to a grand start. Putting on a great performance in the school play were Bev Billings, Bill Christian, and Earl Libby. A good indication of our importance in dramatics is shown by the fact that half of the prize speakers are Juniors. Those taking part are Bev Billings, Bill Christian, Judy Smith and Earl Libby. The glee club and band have been very successful this year with the help of some of our talented Juniors. Those seen in the gym every Tuesday morning are Nancy Farwell, Barrie Lovejoy, Bev Billings, Jerry Brooks, Russell Breton, Bill Christian, Earl Libby and Barry Morse. Prancing very high were our two major- ettes, Angela Rondeau and Dotty Green. One more year and most of us will be marching down the aisle and receiving our diplomas. Some will go on to college and many will start working after they graduate. Whatever We do we feel that even though high school may end, it will only be the beginning of our life of learning. DOTTIE AREY, junior Class Editor Sophomore Class In September, 1952, 15 6 scared Freshmen stood in front of Westbrook High School Waiting to become members of the mysterious life hidden behind those red-brick walls. There were students among us but none seemed to fit the usual conception that all students are unhealthy, with hair so hopelessly straight, that it makes you shudder, and horn-rimmed glasses at least an inch thick. Some of these students proved themselves by the spring of '54. They are Donald Delisle, Joseph Shaw, Ethelyne Billings, Janice Boucher, Wilfred Leighton, Martha Mer- rill, Do-nald Waterhouse, Rena Jones, Elizabeth Prince, Lillian Hopkins, David Bois, Bernadette Proulx, Andrew Jensen, Augustus Randall, Shirley McLellan, Nvilliam Annis, Rosaire Gervis, Nancy Nielsen, Thomas Tuttle and XVayne Tuttle. There Were also athletes who have found their rightful spots on our teams. These players have had a touch of the keen competition which will be so much a part of our lives when we graduate in 195 6. The boys trying for the all important touchdowns were Bill Doucette, Roger Hammer, Tom Waters, Bob Tourangeau and Ted Harriman, While Wilfred Leighton, Bob Tourangeau, Tom Tuttle and Butch Boucher went hoop crazy. The girls werenit to be outdone. Judy Saun- ders, Sandra Madsen, Shirley McLellan, Rowena Merrill, Rena Jones and Ethelyne Billings played field hockey and were joined by Jackie Jordan, Laura Pratt, and Peggy Hebert to play basketball. Marie Hansen was the only representative on the cheerleading squad. For Sophomore officers we elected Wilfred Leighton, Bill Doucette, Joan Labrecque, and Bob Tourangeau. This task of leadership we entrusted in their hands will aid them well in their later years. Also on that day in September, there were actors and actresses waiting to make their debuts in the school play. Among those successful were Joe Shaw, Nancy Lee Neilson, Judy Randall, Basil Boobas and Emerson Trafton. Nancy Lee Neilson, Judy Randall, and Basil Boobas also represented us in prize speaking. We also claim many musicians. Basil Boobas stands out in this field with his amazing ability at the keyboard. We have contributed many band members as well. They are Fred Noack, Wayne Libby, Janice Wood, Alton Miller, Betty Bloomer, Norma Gordon, Don Mannett, Shelia Greene, Barry Morse, Priscilla Hatt, Larry Slade, Paul Phillips, and Patty Anderson. But we certainly must not forget the singers and artists of our class. Mem- bers of the Art Class are Loretta Chaisson, Martha Merrill, Janice Boucher, Janice Mondville, Virginia Craft, Verna Dumont and Robert Fields. The glee club members are Loretta Chaisson, Janice Mondville, Carolyn Kneeland, Annette Lebel, Jeanette Lebel, Janice Boucher, Virginia Craft, Elaine Young, Patty Peter- son, Laurette Bertin, Carol Shaw, Anne Pednault, Marilyn Dolson, Carrie Gallant, Florence Jones, Basil Boobas, Patricia Mockler and Norma Gordon. We have taken an interest in the outside affairs of our school. There were members of our class who went on the physics trip to Boston in February. The school dances have been sparked by our presence. Sports affairs are our pride and ivy- In June, 1956, We shall again step into a mysterious world, after thirteen years of preparation. Every instance in our two years of high school has been direct or indirect training for the beginning of adult life. The Class of as 6 wishes to thank all who have helped us along, and all who may help us on our way to graduation. Freshmen The Class of 'S 7 has already started looking forward to graduation day. Those who are well along scholastically are Sandra Peters, Robert Brown, Ronald Cole, Themia Markos, Mary Morton, Mary Dyer, Martha Pratt, David Small, XVilliam Stevens, Joan Caron, Elbert Fielder, Margaret Harnois, Marilyn Jensen, Paul Kinmond, Barbara Laihn, Lucille Lampron, and Marvin Peterson. Our first important step was the election of class oiiicers, who were President, Roland Tetraultg Vice-President, David Sinclair, Secretary, Ann Hebert, and Treasurer, Regina Hayer. When the doors of Westbrook High were opened last fall, we found we had some ambitious sportsmen with grammar school experience. John Bragdon and Lubert Lestage made the varsity basketball team, and John even had the thrill of playing in the tournament. Some other outstanding players were Robbie Wormell, Robert Martin, and Phillip Lestage. These boys also played on the football squad. As members of the cheerleading squad Mary Foster, Anne Wormell, and Martha Pratt spurred their classmates on to victory. The Freshman girls basketball team did very well, even though they played few games. Rachel St. Pierre was the only Freshman to make the varsity squad, although Anne wofmell made the J. V. team. Another favorite sport among the girls was field hockey. During the year we also found singers, musicians, actors, and actresses among us. When the school play was presented in December our class was represented by Themia Markos and Robert Jensen. Themia played the part of a Russian princess, while Robert was a G-Man. The Freshmen are represented by 12 band members and 16 glee club members, with Charles Emery doing a line job as a glee club soloist. This year one of our classmates, Ronald Cole, won recognition at All Westbrook Night. We also put on the Thanksgiving Assembly, which depicted a pilgrim church scene. Some of the members of the cast were Charles Emery, David Sinclair, Robbie Wormell, Larry Caron, Elbert Fielder, Patty Daniels, Marleen Chandler, Ronald Cole, Martin Wiemert, Dorothy Bustin, and Janet Saucier. In all of these activities we feel that our class has shown great ambition and will continue to excel throughout our high school years.

UNO, Bill, but maybe we can drag out our meeting so there won't be enough time for Miss Chick to give us a test.', This conversation should sound familiar to any Washington Club member. The Washington Club is usually started during the Junior year. Its goal is a trip to the nation's capitol, and all of us are looking forward to it with great anticipation. Washington has many wonders in store for 36 Westbrook High Seniors, an added attraction for the girls is Annapolis. The organization for this long awaited trip was headed by Roberta Wfyer and Peter Thoits as co-chairmen. It was backed by our class advisors, Mrs. Fairchild and Mr. Burnham. It seems that the club of !S4 waited until their last year to raise money for the big event. Nearly every Week this year something has been happening. The annual Holly Ball proved to be a gala event with Christmas decorations, free refreshments and a smooth orchestra. The Shamrock Ball and several other dances provided the student body many evenings of dancing to the music of our favorite orchestras. Also, after many of our uhomei' basketball games, the stu- dents ended the evening with a view dance in the gym, also sponsored by the Washington Club. Several food sales and a card party brought in more money. The lunch bar provided the student body with recess snacks, and the club with a little extra cash. Many of us made new acquaintances by knocking on doors asking people to buy fudge or donate paper to help our worthy cause.

Che N44 Club On October 20, the auditorium and corridors of Westbrook High School were the scenes of some very unusual happenings. Firzt, students were blind- folded, made to crawl under chairs, over mats, and then up and down stairs. The beauty treatment consisted of lipstick, perfume, and powder Qin overdosesj. But this wasn't the end! After a brisk walk in the cool evening air, some members refreshed themselves by dunking for apples, clothes and all. Oh, but don't get excited, the students hadn't gone crazy. They were just being initiated into the 44 Club by the Senior club members. After the first meeting, the club met regularly every other week, with a very high attendance rate. It is composed of junior and senior College English students, and is excellently advised by Mr. Robinson. Officers for this year were Peter Gro-ndin, president, Jerry Sinclair, vice-president, Roberta Wyer, secretary, Bill MacHardy, treasurer. Each meeting is planned by a committee and is always well organized. We have had speakers on safety and driving, on delinquency, and on travel. Film strips of the U. S. and Korea have been shown to us, besides some safety films. Aside from our meeting we also have many social activities. The first of these was the Invitation Dance, held in February, which replaced the Barnyard Hop. Later in April, we sponsored our perennial favorite, the Stardust Ball. Near the end of the year there was a 44 Club Banquet, which was held at Pine Point. As is readily seen we are a busy, progressive club, and will remain so under the guidance of Mr. Robinson. As long as there is a 44 Club there will always be fun, mirth, and knowledge extended to all its members.

Club One look at the trophy case will tell you that in Westbrook our athletes win. Why? you ask. Well, Westbrook High is most fortunate in having a very well rounded athletic program. Basic fundamentals for competitive sports start with our exceptionally good physical education program. It is here that our future stars get their incentive. Why does a small school like Westbrook turn out such excellent athletes? Because we Westbrookians have a sincere desire to win which dates back over the years. Why do boys compete? There are many reasons, but these two stand out: One is that they love the sport, the other is that most of them receive a NW. But winning a letter isn't just getting a sweater with a W on it by any means. It serves as a sort of reward for all the hard work they have put into the game. It signifies their ability to learn teamwork, and quick thinking, and also develops their strong will to win, which will help them in their future professions. It will also help them to become leaders who will represent Westbrook in the best pos- sible way. - Those who have learned all these things by playing are now members of a club called the W Club, which consists of having a membership in the student athletic club. This year's W Club officers are Donald Harriman, president, Priscilla Harvey, secretaryg and Florence Frost, treasurer. l l 1 Front row: Richard Bernier, Kenneth Davis, Charles Allen, Roland Kelson, John W'iemert, Norman W'edge, Carl Brandt, Roland Peterson, Hector Nadeau.

Regular meetings were held in Room 33 bi- weekly, for the purpose of general interest programs consisting of motion pic- tures and speakers on related technical and industrial subjects. The social life of the club is limited to two or three Vic dances during the year and a picnic at the close of school. Last June it Was held at Kelson's cottage at Sebago Lake. In addition to boating and swimming, a lobster bake was en- joyed. Mr. Jensen supervised the cooking of some eighty lobsters for the twenty members. Money for the outing Was supplied by the soft drink machine in the Industrial-Vocational Building which the club installed. Oflicers this year were John Weimert, president, Roland Kelson, vice-presi- dentg Charles Allen, treasurer, and Norman Wedge, secretary.

H. A. Club consists of girls Who have taken Home Economics at least one year While they have been in high school. The members of this club have a chance for advancement by Working over a period of time on a project and re- ceiving degrees for their effort. If you were to drop in on one of the F. H. A. meetings, you would probably find them planning a meeting With an F. H. A. Club from another school. As a result, there Wouldbe a lot of hurrying and scurrying about to prepare a line luncheon for the guests. This meeting pro- vides an opportunity for both schools concerned to exchange ideas. A club is not complete Without a symbol. The symbol of our club is a house supported by a pair of hands, meaning that each member of the club has the responsibility of the home in her hands. These responsibilities include the care of the house itself, the care of the children, and her own personal care. The meetings are called at the discretion of the president. The student leaders in this club are president, Joan Millerg vice-president, Gloria Googinsg secretary, Pat Cousins, treasurer, Shirlee Maleyg and parliamentarian, Dorothy Arey. These girls are guided by Mrs. Fairchild and Mrs. Simonton, both of whom are homemakers in this field as Well as teachers. Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.

CMOj.OP6ff8S Every Tuesday morning five girls march down to the auditorium with dungarees, old shirts, and batons under their arms. These are the majorettes of the school band who devote their home room and first periods to learn and prac- tice new twirls and marching formations. They also practice on Wednesday night with the band. Each class was represented as follows: Senior-Elizabeth Farwell, Junior- Angela Rondeau, head majorette, and Dorothy Greeng Sophomore--Patricia Andersong Freshman-Pauline Grant. They made their first public appearance with the band in the latter part of September, at our first home football game. They went to all the home,' games, and were also able to go to the i'away games at St. Louis and Brunswick. At these games they made a VP, for our team, and a letter representing the other team. They were able to lead the student body in a few cheers as well. During the early part of October they took part in the annual All XVest- brook Night, where they presented a twirling routine. On Halloween night, they participated in a city-wide parade for grammar school children. In the latter part of October, the newly-organized Band Mothers' Club held a Tag Day during which both the band and majorettes helped raise funds for the purchase of new uniforms. They appeared in the concert which the Band and Glee Club presented early in April, at which time they demonstrated their routines with the band. The majorettes brought their activities to a close by participating in the Western Maine Music Festival, held at Auburn on May 8.

The high school band is gathered together, the members seated in their respective positions for rehearsal. Mr. Markarian steps up to the Conductor's stand, opens his book, and raises his baton. The band is tense , strained , attentive GJ . Down comes the baton, madly slashing the air, and from the band comes the stirring strains of The Thundererf' Half- way through a shrill cry from our leader pierces the air. Stop! The fourth clari- net missed a note in the second measure! Do the number over again from the beginning, and do it Correcfly this time! . . . The band is tense QPJ , strained QP, , attentive QPJ .... - Barrie Lovejoy, our sousaphone player, was elected Student Directorg Jerry Books participated in the Gould Music Award Contest. This is the first year that Westbrook has been asked to compete for this award. A demerit system has been formed as a means of keeping order. When one accumulates one hundred demerits, he is put out of the band for the rest of the year.

They are striving to obtain enough money to buy new uniforms for us before the Festival. They sponsored a successful tag dayu last fall, and are planning a raffle March 24th. A We presented a Christmas concert, free to the public, and put on the Christmas assembly with the Glee Club. Both audiences seemed to enjoy the presentations.

As a result a local Key Club was formed. The club did not get fully organized until this year, with our charter being presented on the night of November 24. On that evening 24 high school boys were entertained by the local Kiwanis Club. Among the speakers that evening were New England Governor, Phil Ritterbush, and International Secretary, Ronald Snow, both Key Clubbers from Laconia, New Hampshire. As Kiwanis is composed of men from different occupations and professions, likewise the Key Club is composed, as much as possible, of boys who are active in different school activities. In order to get started properly we began by having weekly meetings, but now have dinner meetings every two weeks. Two of our boys visit the Kiwanis meetings every week and two Kiwanians visit each Key Club meeting. Some of the projects we have undertaken are a Christmas toy drive to collect and repair toys for underprivileged children, a clean-up day around the school, taking over the sale of ice cream for the school, and arranging for a scoreboard to be put up before baseball season. One of our projects for the future is the distribution of Scotchlite freflecting tapej among the bicycle riding youngsters of the city. This year's officers were Calvin Dyer, president, Gene Waters, vice-president, Peter Thoits, secretary, and Jerry Sinclair, treas- urer. Next year's officers, elected in March, are Gene W'aters, president, David Morton, vice-president, Clarence Doucet, secretary, and Neil Doucette, treas- urer. The Key Club wishes to express their thanks to Mr. Philbrook and Mr. Robinson for their sincere efforts in helping the club to get started, and to our faculty advisor, Mr. Shaw, for his work in helping to make it a better organized group. We appreciate the opportunity which the Kiwanis Club has given us to serve our school and our community.

For a couple of years the club wasn't very active, but this year We presented a joint concert with the band, which was attended by many and enjoyed by all. As you walked by the auditorium you may have heard Silent Night, Holy Night , it was only the Glee Club practicing for the Christmas assembly, presented to the faculty and student body.

Le Cercle Entre Nous On October 1, Le Cercle Entre Nous held their first meeting. It was at this meeting that We became acquainted with our new Professeur Francais, Mr. Zdanowicz QMr. Z if you're in a hurryj. He replaced Mr. Lorrett, who is now teaching at Wellesley, Massachusetts. The members also held an election of officers. Capable leaders of the club this year are Peter Grondin, presidentg Richard Goan, vice-president, Claire Begin, secretary, Roberta Wyer, treasurerg and Priscilla Harvey, sergeant-at-arms. The meeting, for the most part, is in Frenchg but can you imagine English students talking French constantly? Most of us at least try. This year the club printed and sold programs at our home games to raise money for a trip to Canada. The total profit for the project amounted to more than fifty dollars. Some of the club members wanted to go to Canada, as We have said. How- ever, this could be accomplished only when more interest was aroused. Those who wish to go along Will have to pay their own expenses. We would like to extend our thanks to Mr. Z our advisor, for his guidance throughout the year.

G19 Camera Club Perhaps one ine day last March you were fortunate enough to see the Camera Club on a picture-taking hike. I say fortunate because it is inspiring to see the dangers they brave for a mere picture. One hike ended with all members hanging precariously above the icy Waters of the Dana Warp Mill's Waterfall to snap a good shot. ' If you could attend a meeting, you would encounter a scene of hilarity as Jerry Brooks, blindfolded, tries to load film into the school camera with the three Barbaras-Barbara Cole, Barbara Lyden and Barbara Bogdahn-coaching from the sidelines. Our most silent coach is a recent addition to the group, Barbara Lyden's dog, Shep, who Was found to behave better than some of the regular members. This year's roll call sounds like this: Richard Burton, presidentg Elizabeth XViug, Jack Wiemert, John Lyden, Sheila Green, and the above-mentioned. Mr. Wfing acts as our advisor again this year. Wfe not only are learning a useful trade that may benefit us in the future, but we are also having a Wonderful time doing it. l w 1 Front row: Muriel Burnham, Frances Chick, Patricia Chretien, Harriet Smith, Judith Bailey, Diana VanDerVoort, Roberta Wyer, Ann Waterhouse, Judith Chick.

Helpers Behind the scenes of any production are the little knownsf' Among those who help keep the school running efliciently by doing important small jobs are librarians, who spend a study hall or an afternoon in the school library each day, helping students ind book reports and reference material. There are students who sit at the Student Service Desk giving information about how to get to a certain classroom or how to find the oflice and Mr. Philbrook. Sometimes the student service girls are asked to show visitors around the building to the various rooms. Did you ever consider how important a part of your schedule the ringing of the bell is? Office girls take care of this minor service. They also run errands, obtain students who are wanted on the telephone, collect attendance slips, and bring you the daily notices during the second and sixth periods. Each student, if he has held his position with proper conduct, receives extra credits toward the thirty-two necessary points. Itis now assembly time and today we are going to see a movie. Everything is quiet and the lights are now being dimmed. But what's this, trouble with the school projector-that always becomes stubborn just before an important assembly. The students who are trying to fix that projector are a group known as the sound and movie projectionists. These helpers make it possible for other students to enjoy audio-visual teaching aids. The students who operate this equipment are not experts, but they do a very important and commendable job.

Take It lflG'tfz You The play this year centered around the crazy mixed-up Sycamore Family of New York City. Each has his or her own peculiar hobby such as collecting snakes, making fireworks, writing plays, printing or dancing the ballet. Poor little Alice seems to be the only sensible one, she's in love with a millionaire, one of the very conventional Kirbys. The two families meet under rather strenuous con- ditions. The Kirbys Come visiting the wrong night and a state of general disorder prevails. Mr. Kirby is thrown by Mr. Kolenkhov in a wrestling exhibition to mention one incident. Nevertheless the conclusion of the play is a happy one with the help of Grandpa Vanderhof's friendly philosophy. i l You Can? Take It Ufith You by Moss HART and GEORGE S.

Cprzke Speaking On the afternoon of March 3, fourteen students tried out for the Prize Speaking Contest sponsored by the Stephen W. Manchester Post of the American Legion. The judges were Mrs. Adams. Mr. Brooks, and Mr. Silva. Eight students were chosen to speak in the April 7th contest. Owen Wood, one of last year's winners, will be the chairman. The High School Band will furnish the intermis- sion music. Those chosen to speak and their selections are Beverly Billings, a scene from Pride and Prejudiceng Judith Randall, The Wfaltzng Nancy-Lee Nielson, High Heels as Lawn, Judith Smith, Meet Me In St. Louis g Basil Boobas, a scene from Julius Caesar , William Christian, The Tell-Tale' Heartvg Earl Libby, The American XVay g and John Wiemert, The Button. The Winners of this contest will represent the school in the Regional Contest on April 15 th in South Portland High School. , SMILE, EVERYONE, SMILE Une-Act Plczf i Listen, you can hear the school thespians rehearsing their one-act play. Hear those shrieks and yells-someone must be forgetting his lines. No, Mr. Brooks isn't beating him-that's in the play. This year it is about an insane asylum full of crazy people. You see, a young woman, Virginia, eager to be out in the world, takes a job working as a Dr. Cantwell's nurse in an insane asylum. When she gets there she meets some very lovely people who give her all sorts of advice. Later she finds these lovely folks are inmates. Then the old nurse, Miss Jebs, shows her true mental makeup when she tries to strangle Virginia. By this time Virginia is about ready to give up because the Doctor is the only one left that isn,t crazy. Then Dr. Cantwell tells a little secret, he is as insane as the rest of them. Virginia, in trying to escape, finds the door through which she entered has disappeared, and decides that she is as mad as the others. The play ends with everyone part of one great big, happy, insane family. It sounds good, Muriel, and I'l1 bet it was easy to cast, too. At least Mr. Brooks had a lot of material to work with around this schoolg everyone I've met is ra little crazy? CAST Virginia ...., ...... .... E l izaberh Wing Dr. Cantwell . . .....

Cl1eerfIeczcz'z'ng Q'What are the cheerleaders wearing uniforms in school for?', one Freshman asked. Why, silly, it's our first rally of the seasong everyone is getting their spirit up for the first football game. If you attended that first rally you would have seen Seniors-Priscilla Har- vey, Frances Chick, and Beverly Pesceg juniors-Judy Bailey, Betty Knight, and Louise Berryg Sophomore-Marie Hanseng and Freshmen-Mary Foster, Anne Wformell, and Martha Pratt. All were in high spirits and it looked like the be- ginning of a great year. This spirit carried over into basketball seasong in fact, it increased as the season progressed. Now that the season is over and the girls have put in many hours of practice on their own time, We should all congratulate them for A job well done, as We appreciate the fine reputation and representation they have given Vfestbrook High by their sportsmanship. This sportsmanship counts as much as that shown by the competitive teams, because it represents the student body. Now that the baseball season is here, the cheerleaders have put their uniforms away for another yearg but We know they will all be cheering the boys on to victory from the stands-With the rest of the fans. First row, left to fight: Gerald Sinclair, James Reece, Donald Harriman, James Roby, Ronald Stultz, Everett Davis. Second row: William Haskell, Wayne MacDuilie, Mr. Silva, Coach: Theodore Harriman, Lawrence Dill. 53 Track When spring rolls around, baseball may be the center attraction, but 'here are still a few of us who indulge in the almost forgotten spectator spor rfn as track. Last spring under the coaching of Mr. Silva, the XVestbrook High tracksters showed promise of developing into a well-balanced track team by the time Howard QRedj MacC1eave takes over this year. Our first meet of the season was with Cheverus High. The team showed un- usual strength, especially in running events. Members of the 1953 team were as follows: Ralph Smith, William LaPierre, Ralph Merrill, Jimmy Harris, Wayne Richardson, Jim Reece, Bill Knox, Dick Shane, Wayne MacDufBe, Ronnie Stultz, Ted Harriman, Gerry Sinclair, Dick Bernier, and Everett QTickj Davis. We had a total of four track meets in which we were able to pick up our share of points. We are hoping that the coming season will give us the oppor- tunity to prove that track is an interesting and exciting sport for spectators as well as participants. 1 1 First row, left fo rfgbf: Gene Waters, Richard Goan, Roger Vaillancourt, Bill Hamilton, Malcolm Roma, Ronald Currier, Peter Grondin, Wfayne Worcester, Hormidas Aube, jr. Svromi row, left to right: Leo Rousseau, David Morton, Burt Lorett, Assistant Coach, Lauriston Holston, Edmund Labrecque, Raymond XVe1ch, W'illiam Bragdon, Leo Pratt, Richard Mitch, Bryan Fullerton, Bruce Libby, Frederic Harlow, Coach. 53 fBa.seba1 I iifler the expert coaching eye of Freddie Harlow the 1953 baseball team, deAi'i3'-'WI lower-than-average record Q6-SJ, earned a first-hand knowledge of spi ' ,R aignship. Six members of the 1953 starting nine were underclassmen and will be returning this season. Because of the record and the fact that six starters will be returning, it is very evident that 1953 was a year of building. Bal Boy: Raymond Doherty. Mr. Harlow even found it necessary to shuffle his starting nine in different positions to compensate for the shortage of ballplayers. The usual starting team consisted of catcher Wayne Worcester, who did a hefty job behind the plate, and also served Well in the hitting department. First baseman Mal Roma starred in the crucial spots with his big bat. Second base and centerfield proved to be a mix-up. There are three reasons to prove this: When Bill Hamilton pitched, Pete Grondin played second and Roger Vaillancourt occupied center- fieldg when Grondin pitched, Vaillancourt moved to second and Hamilton guard- ed the outfield. The trio did Well, and usually handled these positions proficiently. Third baseman Gene Waters earned the supremacy of the hot corneri' by his alertness at grabbing bunts and stabbing line drives. At shortstop, Butch Cur- rier's height and long reach were valuable assets, and enabled him to make many fielding gems. Dick Goan and Jerry Sinclair alternated in left field and both turned in several sparkling performances. At right field Don Harriman, the team's top hitter, utilized his speed to camp under fly balls. Other players on the roster were Hormidas Aube, Brian Fullerton, Richard Mitch, Leo Pratt, Bruces Libby, Billy Bragdon, David Morton, Ray Welch, and Larry Holston.

Foo tba!! A football player learns early in the season that a life on the gridiron is not a rosy one. Football is a game in which there are just as many setbacks as glorious victories. Players are taught the many pitfalls to be encountered on the playing field. This training carries over into later life, Where the boys will find that they must always be on guard, ready to carry the ball whenever necessity demands. In compiling their 4-4 record, Westbrook High bettered the 3-S record of 1952, and showed something more important than any record-SPIRIT. The team displayed great sportsmanship and fighting faith in their school to the high- est degree in both the Morse and St. Louis games, although the Blazes dropped the latter. This year Westbrook will lose such dependables as Don Harriman and Jerry Sinclair, this year's co-captains, along with Jackie Gaudette. Stanley Theriault, Richard Bernier, Peter Grondin, Robert Richards, Donald Chick and Edmond Labrecque. Since it is their last year, it is only fitting that we say a little about each. DONALD HARRIMAN, considered by many as one of the fastest backs in Maine, Was our top scorer. JERRY SINCLAIR gave the game all he hadg a great deal depended upon his playing in every game. JACKIE GAUDETTE took over the quarterback position following his recovery from a pre-season foot injury. ROBERT RICHARDS, DON CHICK and PETER GRONDIN Were the only seniors playing in the line. Richards and Chick, who played in the middle of the line, were also called upon for backer-up duty, and handled the job with manly proficiency. Grondin was on the receiving end of several pass pat- terns, as well as being a cog on the defensive. Due recognition should be given EDMOND LABRECQUE, who suffered a very severe leg injury early in the season, and was hospitalized for several weeks. An underclassman who will play an important part in the next football .season is Gene Waters, a strong defensive man. Other players who will be called upon to fill the shoes of this year's departing backs are Tommy Waters, Bruce Libby, Neil Doucette, and Jimmy Swett. A stone wall was constructed in the line this year. The so-called unsung heroes were Roger Vaillancourt, Bob Janovsky, and Jim Roby, ends, Clifford 'DeRoche, Bob Larry, Bob Jensen, David Bullerwell, and Roger Tex Hammer, tackles, Royden Belanger, Teddy Harriman and Charles Gemmel, guards, and Ronnie Estes, Dick Grant, and Pete Kennie, centers. Freshmen players other than those mentioned were Don Chamard, Jim Kel- ley, Bruce Choo-Choo Train, and Henry Kennie. The greater part of the credit should be given to Coach Howard Red MacCleave, and his assistants, Fearless Fred Harlow and Paul Zdanowicz. It was their capable instruction that made the boys both ready and successful. v M, Srafmf, lvfl lo rigbl: Rowena Merrill, Claire Paulhus, Theresa Sirois, Cecilia Marier, Rena joncs,lRachel St. Pierre.

Field Hockegf Goal! Finally fafter a good many barked shins and a lot more bruisesj the girls finished their four-game schedule with three losses and one tie. Although there were a lot of lame legs, the girls never complained. They played the game because they liked rough sports. Making up the team were Senior-Cecilia Marier, Co-Captaing Juniors- Terry Serois, Co-Captaing Claire Begin, Rena Jones, Rowena Merrill, and Claire Paulhusg Sophomores-Ethelyne Billings, Sandra Madsen, Shirley McLellan, and Judy Saunders, Freshmen-Ann Griiiiths, Raymonde Dugas, Rachel St. Pierre, Roberta Harvey, Regina Hayer, and Bette St. Pierre. They all contributed to making the team a Well-organized group. The girls learned during this season, above all else, that the co-ordination and team Work used in this game are a very good basis for every day living. Next year we will see a group of experienced girls waiting for the chance to better their record. As this is only the second year that field hockey has been an organized sport in Westbrook, We think the girls have done a fine job. We should also congratulate the coach, Miss Weeksg for Without her help and guidance the girls could never have kept rolling.

Qgasketball This year's basketball team was considered by many as the best in Western Maine. This was due to the fact that four out of the first five averaged 10 points or better each game. The team had height and speed, co-operation and a great scoring punch. They also had endurance, which is very much needed in the fast- moving game of basketball. A At the center was the tallest man of our team, Rely Kelson, who shone very brightly in most games by taking a large percentage of the rebounds. When the tournament came around, Roly was ready. He did more than his share, by scoring 30 points in the two games. At forwards were our two Billy's, Bragdon and Hamilton. Hamilton, with his left hand jump shot from the side, proved to be a great help in the scoring department and also took a great many rebounds. Bragdon, who was a top scorer in many games at the first of the season, made many surprising shots when the going was rough. At the guard positions, Captain Bill MCI-Iardy and his side-kick, Jackie Gau- dette, were outstanding in all respects. Their fine set-shots, push-shots, and dribbling were always a great treat for the spectators. Jerry Sinclair played an important reserve role throughout the season, filling in Wherever needed. jim Levesque, John Bragdon, Lubert Lestage, and Gene Waters helped to make a Well-rounded and successful team.

Girls qizsketball Say, girls, have you seen the new coach? What's she like?,' If you had been around Westbrook High School last fall, you might have overheard these ques- tions being asked about the new girls' basketball coach. These questions were soon answered when Miss Weeks, the coach, began vigorous training to get the girls in shape for the oncoming season. Unfortunate- ly, the girls had to give up their lunch hours for practice, but they were willing to sacrifice anything for a chance to beat Deering and other tough teams who had beaten them for several consecutive seasons. Any one entering the gym from 1.00 to 3.00 would encounter the girls going through drills that were tough enough for the boys' Varsity. The coach kept her teams' noses to the grindstone. This resulted in a record of 8 wins and 6 losses. They also breezed through the alumnae game to win by a comfortable margin which left the retired veterans panting. The most important win, however, was their final and deciding Qwe hope for a long time to comej game with Deering. Full of fire and brimstone, our powerhouse guards and lightning-fast forwards ran on the court. There was a lot of blood, sweat, and tears shed in that game, but the Westbrook girls marched off a very elated and victorious team. This year we had the height, speed, quick thinking, and experience to our advantage. The departing seniors, Florence Frost, Pat Chretien, and Diane Tur- geon, have contributed much to the prestige of the team. The underclassmen re- turning to keep up the good work next year are Ann Labrecque, Jacqueline Jordan, Louise Berry, Ann Delcourt, Rowena Merrill, Rena Jones, Rachel St. Pierre, and Lorna Payne. Hey!! Let's not leave the Jayvees in the dark any longer. They, too, have racked up a good record-7 wins and 3 losses. Our aggressive forwards who rang up the scores were Ann Wormel, Jeanie Keith, Sandra Madsen, Laura Pratt, and Ethelyne Billings. The guards who did a good job of stealing the ball were Evelyn Libby, Pat Cousens, Shirley McLellan, Judy Saunders, and Peggy Hebert. Keep up the fine work, girls! It won't be long before you step into the varsity's shoes. We had a small yet active Freshman team this year. Members were Lucia Gaines, Patricia Burton, Marilyn Jensen, Ann Hebert, Vickie Clark, Janet Saucier, Regina Hayer, Norma Caron, and Janice Currier. At this time we should like to put in a word or two about the wonderful job done by the two managers, Pat Lampron and Iva Jordan. Even when they were busily doing other jobs before the games started, they always found time to slice the oranges and arrange them in an appetizing way. We should also like to mention that Miss Weeks did wonders with the girls. There were times when things didn't look so rosy, but she was just the one to pull them through. The last and final event that we shall list here is the foul-shooting contest. Many girls took part in it, using their pet shots. Vickie Clark and Rena Jones tied with the same number of free throws. It was a close shoot-off, but Vickie became champ and represented us in the Western Maine Foul Shooting contest. In closing we leave this as our last wish, Please beat Deering next year and for many years to come. Best of luck to Westbrook High's girls' teams next year!!

Brooks' Fzfth Period Eng fish Class As you can see in the picture, Mr. Brooks' fifth period English class is not all book cramming. In fact, the assignment we worst dreaded has turned out to be the most entertaining. When Mr. Brooks walked into the room carrying a stack of Shakespeare's Julius Caesarf' the class groaned loud and long. Our only com- ment was, Oh, no! Not that junk!', Well, after we started reading, we dis- covered it was not as much junk as we had anticipated. Mr. Brooks then sug- gested projects dealing with either Julius Caesar, the Elizabethan Period, or Shakespeare. Among the- many good projects passed in, the model Elizabethan Theatre made by Jim Swett and Bill Stevens was outstanding. Another interest- ing project was Martha Pratt's and Sandra Peter's Roman newspaper headlining the assassination of Julius Caesar as it might have appeared the day after the deed. We had no sooner finished our Shakespearian projects, when Mr. Brooks made another suggested', assignment. This time we are to do freshman-size term papers. If these are as well done as our last projects, they should make very in- formative reading. Mr. Brooks says he is looking forward to them. SAY, THAT IS CLEVER! O4rt Class As a student, through the four years of your high school studies you will find the Art Class of Westbrook High one of the most interesting and informa- tive extracurricular activities in the school. Under the leadership of Mr. Sterling, the art students are busy with the creation of various art projects. Some of the important projects accomplished are handmade leather belts, finger painting, lettering, driftwood design, model house design, colonial tin stenciling, and paper mache models. We high school art students think that figure drawing is a very difficult art technique. Usually We like to consider the general form and later make studies and sketches of the details. Hours go into days before we get a presentable picture. Should you wander into the Art Room, you would see many of the model houses designed and constructed by the students. The process is long, and re- quires exacting work, but, if carried out correctly, the finished product is quite pleasing. Everyone who takes art can,t expect to become an artist, but it is Mr. Ster- ling's hope that each student will learn to appreciate art more by doing and creating things himself. This year marks the first time in many years that all pupils who are inter- ested have been able to join, since all of the art room is now available to all stu- dents. Previously, half of che room Was needed for other classes. Thus each student has more room in Which to Work and develop his artistic talents. Why don,t you, right now, seriously consider joining next year's Art Class? JERRY Baooxs, 'S 5 q'3z'oIog3f To the cohorts of the underclasses: This is to tell you about our biology class conducted by Mr. Robinson in Room 208 during third and fourth periods. We're not calling you names, we are only using some of the terms we have learned. After all, there is no sense in learning something if you aren't going to use it. We've learned words we never knew existed. There was always something interesting going on in the class, but don't get the idea that it was all play and no work. No sir, We did our share of work, for We had to pass those 10 question quizzes every day. When exam time came we had to study too, because none of us liked to stand up when we couldn't answer the questions we were asked in review. It was because of this that the exams appeared easier, although they were not difficult Qif one had studied sufficientlyj . For extra credit we put our artistic talents to work and drew some of the pictures in the textbook. These had to be done freehand. They helped us to understand more clearly what we had been studying. QThe notebook containing the drawings now counts one-fifth of our rank.j You may have seen Mr. Robinson strolling along the corridor with a burlap bag over one shoulder and wondered what it contained. That was Oswald, our skeleton friend! He comes to class so we can get a better idea of how we are composed. There were other specimens which we examined, too. One day we got a close look at an octopus, a tapeworm, a squid, a stariish, and other forms of life which at present are preserved in formaldehyde. We looked at various specimens under a microscope, too. Would you still like to drink water after seeing what it is composed of? Do you know what your blood looks like, or how leaves are com- posed, or what mold looks like? Some of the students often told of personal experiences and contributed items of interest from current publications. Of course, Mr. Robinson always had something to add, toog often telling of his own personal experiences. XVe recommend biology to you because we have found it very interesting and enjoyable. We liked it so well that we have chosen it as our favorite class. THE SENIOR CLASS HOLD IT, GIRLS HEY, HURRY UP, WE CAN'T STAY HERE ALL DAY V w w l Cphysical Education Everyone line up. Count off by 4's. Four's in line to the right--march! With these well known commands my bi-daily physical education class is brought to order. Following these orders, we go through a series of warming up exercises that always start with running-in-place and end with the duck walk. From then on the schedule is usually varied. In the fall we go outside for football. Then along comes basketball and softball in the winter and spring. Besides these games we also entangle ourselves in tumbling, where we learn how to do many kinds of balances and flips, with an occasional two-man lesson, such as the double-flip. In the spring We take some time to learn the fundamentals of volleyball. Our course is not limited to muscle-building by any means. We even learn some basic dance steps, such as the Bunnyhop, the Mexican Hat Dance, and a few square dance patterns. All of our class work is really a background for the intramural sports programs which Mr. Unger works out for us. If we really try to do our best, physical education is a lot of fun. HMM, SMELLS PRETTY GOOD Home Economics You may think that Home Economics is all cooking and sewing, but that is not true. Today it includes the study of personality growth, family relation- ships, child growth and development, money management, home management, home hygiene, and the care of the ill, as well as clothing and housing. We make aprons in which to cook and serve our attractive meals, but we also sew other articles of clothing for members of our family. One of the most important projects is home management. This includes knowledge of what one should look for when purchasing food, clothing, and home furnishings and how we should budget our money. A visit to Warren's Furniture Store proved helpful while we were discussing the purchasing of furni- ture for the home. At Christmas we all did individual projects. Some of us became carpenters and constructed TV tablesg others made lamp shades, and still others hand paint- ed designs on household linen. Some of us knitted socks, caps, and mittens, so everybody was kept busy doing something. The subject of child care was helpful to all baby-sitters, or any one interested in family life. We had a model fdollj on which to practice our not too skilled child care. Occasionally we cook and serve meals to the various clubs and organizations. We have prepared meals for the Key Club members and the football team, none of whom seemed to suffer from our cooking fimmediatelyj . Home Economics has been helpful to us, and we are sure that any girl will find it so. It has prepared us for our future life in the home, and has helped us to face the world with courage and high hopes. You won't have to run home to mother to ask her how to make this or how to do that if you take this course- you may even be able to show her the latest. Commercial Course 050 As members of the Senior Commercial class, we have finished our business training and are prepared to take our places in the business world. Those of us who are interested in working with numbers have had a year of business arithmetic and two years of bookkeeping. To prepare us for secretarial work, our junior schedule included shorthand and typing. Shorthand was rather confusing for a few weeks, but we finally were able to distinguish the characters from one another and write them from dictation fthough we couldn't always transcribe themj. Typing proved to be enjoyable, and different from our other classes. After we had learned to strike each key with the proper finger, we had assignments from books, plus work to increase our speed. The speed was determined from ten-minute tests taken at least once a week. Senior year found us continuing shorthand and typing, but the two were combined. When shorthand class was over we went into the typing room to transcribe the letters fiive-minute dictationsj that we had taken previously. In both classes we continued to build our speed. When we had typed 30, 40, 50, or 60 words a minute, with ive errors or less, we received corresponding certificates. We also received certificates for transcribing our shorthand notes with a mini- mum of errors. For those senior students who desired a course in advanced typing, there was an opportunity to become familiar with the routine work found in the office of the lawyer, merchant, and insurance agent. Deeds, leases, mortgages, power of attorney, billing and itineraries were only a few of the practical projects carried out in this course. While half of us were studying commercial law Qastudy of laws pertaining to the business worldj, the rest of us were having office practice. There we learned filing, and the operation of various business machines' such as the comp- tometer, dictaphone, and mimeograph. T Most of us are going directly into the business world where we shall put this training to work, but a few of us are planning to further our education by going on to business school. 3 ' College Course 030 You say you are planning to go on to school but are not sure just what you want to study. My advice to you is to take the college course. From it you will get a better idea of what you are most interested in and for what you are best qualified. ' If you should be interested in mathematics and enjoy Working with figures, you may decide to become an engineer, after mastering algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. I'm sure you will enjoy the outdoor geometry classes. Even if you can't seem to get all the facts and figures through your head, you will get a chance to get outside in the fresh air during those nice spring days. These sub- jects also teach the student to think and reason for himself. Maybe you would rather enter some phase of medicine. If so, you will want to take chemistry, physics, and a language. You certainly will enjoy working in the lab. Who knows, you could be another Einstein! Latin will help you greatly with your English, too, as many English words are derived from Lating it is really not as difficult as some people like to make you think. English? Oh, yes, you will be in Miss Chick's class, junior and senior years. You will like that, I'm sure. One of your assignments will be to prepare term papers. But don't worry. It isn't as bad as you may think. Just think, you can choose your own subject, that is a real help right at the beginning. Of course, you may be spending three or four weeks at the library, but at least you will gain something from it all. For one thing, you will find that it doesn't pay to misspell words. Should you decide that college is out, you may go directly from here into nursing or some other occupation. No matter what you choose to do, you'll cer- tainly be glad you took the college course for it will help you greatly. It does not teach you a skill or profession, but it will give you a better idea of what you are suited for. All the subjects will lead you to rich rewards in understanding, enjoyment, and success.

ML, 5 5 gfffiif Ig ' 4?ifi7TQff fifi9 Industrial - Vocational Departmen t The Industrial-Vocational department of Westbrook High School is con- sidered by many to be one of the best in the state. Under the leadership of Mr. Jensen, assisted by Mr. Burnham, Mr. Tracy, and Mr. Brush, the course is aimed to prepare students for immediate employment after high school. Of course, a student may go to a technical school such as Wentworth Institute, Maine Vocational, or a similar school, if he wishes to further his knowledge in the technical fields. We have three well-equipped shops. The sheet-metal shop teaches us sheet- metal working, brazing and welding. The machine shop attempts to turn us into machinists, who are in great demand. Vises, Woodworking lathes, house jacks, and jointers are a few of the projects which we machine down and con- struct from rough castings during our last two years. Then comes the wood- working shop, with its foreboding array of high-speed machinery. This shop molds the carpenters, cabinet-makers, and pattern-makers of the future. Freshmen and Sophomores spend 72 hours a Week in the shops, Juniors and Seniors spend 15 hours a week. The three lower classes spend a third of the year in each of the three shops. The Seniors, however, choose one shop to major in during their last year. Despite this, not everyone may realize that the school day for us doesn't end until 2.30. As Juniors We have but two study periods a week, and as Seniors we have none. Each new phase of our shop Work tends to inspire more interest, this fact helps offset the long hours. We are proud to be members of the shop course. JERRY Bnooxs, 'S 5 fDrz'ver Traz'nz'ng Look at this! My first driver's license! Now I can tear up the highway like the other drivers! However, I must remember to apply the sportsmanlike tech- niques that Mr. Shaw taught me. You must take the course next year so that you may learn the correct driv- ing techniques and the proper handling of your car. Once a week during class period you will go out on the road for instructions, once every other Week you will go out in the afternoon to practice what you have learned in class. Besides the regular book work, you will make diagrams of the various automobile parts, and see an occasional movie. As the weeks pass, you will become qa more experienced driver. One day you will receive a copy of the Maine Traiiic Laws to study. Near the close of the half-year fdriver training is only a half-year coursej Mr. Shaw will give you a license application, if you are a competent driver. Finally the big day will come. You will be given an eye test and written test over the rules before going out on the road. After passing these, you are given a chance to show your driving ability. If you obey all the laws and apply what you have learned in t'Sportsmanlike Driving, you will leave the car with your driver's license. P. S. DON'T FORGET THE RAILROAD TRACKS! ! ! !! I m READY? START READING f571e Reading Accelerator Many high school pupils ind their work extremely difficult and receive low marks because they are slow or poor readers. Low marks and discouragements are natural results of low reading speed, for if a person requires twice the normal time to read an assignment, he will either have to work twice as long or accomplish only half as much. The assignments in most high school courses are based on an average reading speed of about 250 words per minute with 85 fm comprehension. The following table shows the median reading speeds for each class in Westbrook High as compared with the New England median reading speeds. Worms READ Pen NlINUTE New England Median Westbrook High Median Seniors 2 69 2 S 6 Juniors 2 6 9 2 77 Sophomores 2 5 6 2 3 4 Freshman 2 34 217 We are below the New England median reading speed in all but the Junior Class. This lower median is caused by a large group who read no faster than 100-1 S0 words per minute. The problem is the more serious because some of the slow readers hope to go to college. To do satisfactory college work one needs to read at least 300 words per minute with 90'Z1 comprehension. Recognizing the seriousness of the problem, the Guidance and English de- partments decided upon the following measures. Before scheduling English classes for the incoming Freshmen, the reading results of the eighth grade tests were analyzed. Pupils were then assigned to Freshman English on the basis of their reading records. The program of these classes was to consist of ways to im- prove reading, such as learning to understand sentence structure, learning vocab- ulary, and learning to read by phrases, in addition to reading practice. Since it was impossible to schedule the upper classes according to reading ability, the purchase of a Reading Accelerator was recommended as the basis for a program of individual help. In the event that some pupils might need even more help than could be given in a special English class, it was decided that opportunity to use the Reading Accelerator would be governed by the results of a standard reading test given the entire school. The test was given shortly after the machine arrived in October. The Reading Accelerator consists of a motor driven curtain which slides down over a page of reading material placed on the book-stand of the machine. A special slide rule translates the number of words per page and the reader's speed in words per minute into a machine setting. In order that the reader may exert himself to the utmost, the curtain is set to fall 10-15? faster than the reader's normal speed. As soon as the reader can comprehend at that rate the curtain's speed is again increased. The program for the use of the Reading Accelerator was put into effect in November. By this program all who Wish to improve their reading receive twenty practice sessions on the machine, reading articles from the Rendefs Digest. They are then tested for comprehension, which along with reading speed is recorded in the reading improvement folders. To teach any reader to keep good reading habits when he does not have to keep ahead of a falling curtain, the program has a second part. After each practice on the machine the pupil reads an article in one of three graded reading books. He is carefully timed and tested on the selection. When the test is corrected, his rate and comprehension are recorded and graphed in his folder. Every pupil receives both a practice session on the machine and a lesson from the book, at least once a week. Since no teacher has time to oversee the use of the accelerator, the rapid readers in the Junior and Senior classes have been enlisted. These students give their study halls or one afternoon a week to help two or three pupils on the accel- erator. In addition to setting up and putting away the machine, the helper reads the slide rule, sets the machine, keeps the reading improvement records, and times and corrects the tests. The success of the Reading Accelerator is becoming apparent, for nearly all those using the machine have shown improvement and some have improved re- markably. For example, Sandra Peters has increased her reading speed from 120 to 280 Words per minute and her comprehension from 75 22 to 90'k. Robert Larry, who formerly read 160 Words per minute with 8029 comprehension, now reads 260 with 95 comprehension. Some of the helpers have taken their spare moments to build their own reading speed. Two have succeeded very well. Wayne MacDuffie began reading at 250 Words per minute and has built his speed up to 410 Without loss in comprehension. Already reading at 410 Rhoda Peter- son has increased her speed to 475 words per minute with an increase in compre- hension. Although these are exceptional cases,.it is expected the reading level of the entire school will show substantial improvements in the next standard read- ing test to be given March 22. O. W., '54 INSPECTING THE SLIDES Guiofance In Westbrook Hzgh School This year Westbrook High School was very fortunate to have Mr. Bernard J. Silva back as Director of Guidance. Although this is the fourth year of guidance, it is the Hrst year that the director has returned. The program has taken great strides this year. Last year, although burdened with track and bas- ketball, Mr. Silva acquainted himself with the school, the community, and the pupils. When he returned this year Qwith the understanding he should devote all his time to his more important mission, the students, he had a classroom especially for his department. Mr. Silva has centered much of his attention on counseling, holding approximately 240 individual conferences with students, parents, and employers. Besides his work with pupils, many parents visited his oflice or called, 10 former graduates returned for aid, 6 dropouts returned for military information and Mr. Silva made 3 home visits. Among Mr. Silva's many other duties he speaks to clubs and PTA groups in the city. The upperclassmen, especially, are given individual attention to aid them in educational and occupa- tional planning. Family, personal, and social problems are discussed in counsel- ing. Interviews and, in special cases, referrals have been made. This year Mr. Silva started to work closely with the police department and they have referred persons to him. Some 412 tests covering intelligence, personality, and interests have been given to the students as part of the guidance service. These tests and other infor- mation compiled about the students help the teachers to find the students' ability, aid parents to understand their children,s interests and awaken pupils to their capabilities. Individual conferences are held with students and parents to review test results. In informal group sessions Mr. Silva holds discussions of interest and assistance to Freshmen and Sophomores. For instance, Freshmen are thoroughly acquainted with the school and its curriculum that they may easily adjust themselves. Guid- ance groups are centered around individual and group needs. Recordings, films, questionnaires, and pamphlets supplement the discussions. Groups also meet with representatives of colleges, technical schools, military services, and other educa- tional agencies, to discuss career possibilities. Another very important function undertaken this year by Mr. Silva and some members of the Camera Club, was the occupational slide project. Its pur- pose is to familiarize the students with the occupational opportunities in West- brook. The project was approved by the President of the Chamber of Commerce, Mr. McAteeg a letter Was sent to business and professional people asking for their co-operation in allowing two colored pictures to be taken of them at work. All agreed to assist in this community-school project, and Liz Wing, John Wiemert, and Richard Berton took the pictures. The colored occupational slides are used in group guidance to acquaint students with the requirements, opportunities, and description of the types of Work in Westbrook. In April of last year a Career Day was held covering twenty occupations with capable representatives of the occupations as speakers. Each student attend- ed two of these lectures. Since recorders were placed in these classes, the informa- tion is available to all persons interested. In a follow-up study of last yearis graduates Mr. Silva learned that four per- cent of the last year's graduates went on to higher education, this is ten percent more than the class of 'S 2. The last two graduating classes are pinpointed geo- graphically on a large map of the United States in the guidance room. About seventy-five percent are living in the Portland-Westbrook area, the remainder are at college or in the service. As you can see our guidance department is doing a commendable job. We hope it may continue, and an even greater number of students benefit by it in the years to come, as We have. However, only with the continuous co-operation of the faculty, the community, and the students can the guidance director con- tinue these services to the school and the city. OTO It Always Happens Every time there is a club meeting Harry is never there. Out of iifteen meetings Harry attends one. He loves to belong to clubs for the sake of popu- larity, but he hates to waste his time when important business is being dis- cussed. He never pays his dues and he never volunteers for any committees. Finally he decides to attend a meeting-just to see what it's like, but if you ask him what happened during the meeting, he couldn't tell you because he was either asleep or gazing out the Window. After all, it's not his fault he has previ- ous engagements and just can't make the meetings. Then comes the time for the club picture. Even though Harry Wasn't at the last meeting he got Wind of what was happening. On the day the picture was taken, who was the first one there and sitting right in the front row, just as big as you please? You guessed it. Harry. XVell, that,s Harry for you. 6728 Future Westbrook Hzgh School The new high school, which it is hoped will be finished by September, 195 5, will relieve school congestion by freeing the present building for a junior high school. The junior high will house grades seven, eight, and nine. With these grades combined into a junior high, the elementary schools will have more room for the lower grades. The new building will have many improvements over the present school. Included in the plans for the new high school are: a library a clinic a guidance ofiice a chemistry, physics, and biology laboratory a section for the commercial department two teachers' rooms a principal's office a Home Economics room a cafeteria Present plans, March, 1954, call for a shop in a separate building. The 12 class- rooms will accommodate comfortably approximately 35 per room. The auditorium will accommodate 800 people and includes a stage and a public address system. At the present, no gymnasium is planned, therefore, there will probably be no physical education. In the way of athletics, there is plenty of room for an athletic field, but basketball practice will have to be held at the present school gymnasium or Cum- berland gymnasium. As many of the teachers would like to know, the lockers are in the halls, not in the rooms. The desks will be movable and the classrooms will be connected to the oflice by an inter-communication system. There is, of course, still some question as to who will enjoy the advantages of the new high school. If construction is completed according to schedule, the present sophomore class will be the iirst class to graduate from it. Not all of the present faculty will be needed at the new high school. However, it has not yet been decided who will remain behind. Even though the upperclassmen will not be able to attend this new school, they will have the satisfaction of knowing that the city can provide a better school and a fine education for their younger sisters and brothers, or even, in the future, for their own children. EDITOR,S NOTE: On March 29, the S. D. Warren Company announced plans for celebrating its hundredth anniversary. They offer the employees of the mill a choice of a party for employees and families or the sum of S100,000 for the construction of a gymnasium for the new high school. We of Westbrook High School hope the choice will be the gymnasium. 1 f f Z Z'- l A jokes Mr. Philbrook: Well, Bill, why are you late? Bill Knox: I guess the bell rang before I got here.
