Speedy's ambition is to get this trophy for her own. HONORA M. BRODFRSON Commercial Nora Senior Reception Committee 3. Here's a girl with an undecided future and ambition.

At this time we all made promises to ourselves of what we would try to achieve in the next four years. Well, even though it seems as if it was just yesterday, it is already time to examine our consciences and see if we did keep those promises. During these last important years was your first main objective to obtain your highest possible scholastic rank? Did you willingly participate in the extra curricular activities? Were you friendly, courteous, kind, and co-operative? These are only a few of those important promises. How would you rate yourself? The past year has not been all work and no play. When we leave we will take with us the wonderful memories of Freshman Reception, our first formal, all the fun we had at games, dances, and committee meetings, the friendships we have made and enjoyed as a group. Each one of us will also have a personal pride of the things we ourselves have done or what the school has accomplished during our four years. Because of the many ups and downs, our school days have furnished us with valuable experience in working out our personal problems. In a few short months a new kind of life will be facing us. There will be no bells to tell us when to go from one thing to another as there has been in high school. We will have to start to make our own decisions in life. Probably it will be the first time in our lives that we will really think and act as individuals. This new life is full of darkness and doubt. Let us hope that God will never let us despair and that He will teach us to face every challenge bravely to insure a successful future for us all. GENE WATERS, 'SS. The junior Glass At last some of us have something to be proud of-there are two classes on whom we can look down. They may be taller, their ranks may be better, but we have been here longer! ! ! We are in our third year at Westbrook High School and now We have more of an opportunity to show our many varied talents. In this, our Junior year, we have to seriously consider our future and begin working towards that goal. ' Our first important step this year was to elect our class officers: Wilfred Leighton, president, Thomas Tuttle, vice presidentg Joan LaBrecque, secretaryg and Patty Anderson, treasurer. During the first half-year William Annis, Donald Delisle, Rosaire Gervais, Lucille Lavigne, Martha Merrill, Rowena Merrill, Joseph Shaw, and Donald Waterhouse made the Honor Roll. The musically-minded Juniors who joined the band are Norma Gordon, Carolyn Kneeland, Sheila Greene, Fred Noack, Ann Burton, Alton Miller, Larry Slade, Betty Bloomer, Janice Wood, Paul Phillips, Donald Mannett, and Priscilla Hatt. They have done a very fine job and we Juniors are justly proud of them. The Juniors heard often in main room lending their voices to song in sup- port of the chorus are Lillian Merrill, Patricia Peterson, Hilda Hillock, Paul Caron, Marilyn Dobson, Loretta Chaisson, and Basil Boobas. There is only one Junior Majorette, Patty Anderson. Willy Leighton, Jim Bryan, Bob Tourangeau, Tom Wilson, Tom Tuttle and Philip Butterfield did a fine job in basketball, really tossed the ball through that hoop. They were cheered on to victory by the cheerleaders with Marie Hansen as the Junior Class representative. Neal Doucette was really going great in football until he unfortunately broke his leg. His teammates from the class of 'S 6 were Ted Harriman, Tom Waters, Bob Tourangeau, and Jim Bryan. The girls were not to be outdone in the field of sports. Rena Jones, Sandra Madsen, Rowena Merrill, Judy Saunders, Peggy Hebert, and Jackie Jordan helped to make basketball a success. Our class actors are Joseph Shaw and Emerson Trafton who took part in the school plays. The Juniors seen taking pictures of everything are not really camera happy but are members of the Camera Club. They are Barbara Landry, Sheila Greene, Priscilla Hatt, and Martha Merrill. The Junior Washington Club has been a great success this year with 75 members, with Donald Delisle as president, Fred Noack as vice president, Bertha Gagne as secretary, and Joseph Shaw as treasurer. Many of the members of our class participated in All Westbrook Night. One of the outstanding acts was impersonation of Liberace by Basil Boobas. Others who took part were: Marguerite Hardy, Lillian Merrill, Patricia Peterson, Ethelyne Billings, Betty Bloomer, and Martha Merrill. As Seniors our activities will more than double responsibility as the first senior class in the new high school. As our Junior year is nearing completion We look forward with expectation to our last year of high school. MARTHA MERRII,L, 'S6. PRISCILLA HATT, 'S6. Class of 1957 Well, here we are again! The same group of people who timidly approached this building last year with a few doubts and fears and who have now become full-fledged Westbrook High students. This year has brought us many new and exciting experiences. Starting off this year,s activities, we elected our class ofiicers. They were Roland Tetrault, president, Helen Cote, vice president: Ann Hebert, secretary, and David Billings, treasurer. We have a long list of honor students which we are proud to announce. Those who received these honors during the first semester were Themia Markos, Lucille Lampron, Mary Morton, Martha Pratt, Ronald Cole, Elbert Fielder, George Lambert, Sandra Peters, Janet Saucier, David Small, William Stevens, Joan Caron, Victoria Clark, and Marilyn Jensen. At the beginning of the school term we had quite a few 'S7'ers participating in the annual All Westbrook Night. One of whom we are especially proud of is Sandra Peters, who was Mistress of Ceremonies. Others in the show were Betty Gagne, Elaine Collins, Patsy Peterson, and Donna Jensen. Representing the Sophomore Class in dramatics were the following, who added to the mystery interests of the school plays: Sandra Peters, Ronald Cole, William Stevens, Carol Osgood, Themia Markos, Mary Morton, and Richard Moreau. Working behind the scenes on production was Robert E. Jensen. Doing a great job under the guidance of Mr. Delulio, our members of the Westbrook High School Band are David Billings, Dorothy Bustin, Marlene Chandler, Ronald Cole, Marilyn Jensen, Jane Kelley, Diane Knight, David Mar- tin, Richard Moreau, William Stevens, Norman Whitzell, and Marshall Tedford. Leading the band with their batons twirling and flashing in the sunlight are the majorettes. The Sophomores are represented by Pauline Grant, Janet Saucier, and Ann Griffiths. The songbirds adding to the volume and lilt of the Glee Club are David Billings, Ronald Cole, Elaine Collins, Patricia Daniels, Wilfred Dionne, Charles Emery, Betty Gagne, RoseMary Gallagher, Edwin Hawkes, Sylvia LaCasse, Lucille Lampron, Dianne Lord, Themia Markos, Carol Osgood, Claire Plummer, Peter Lee Swan, Carol Wescott, Norman Whitzell, Anne Aube, and Ruth Winters. There are quite a few Sophomores participating in the sports department this year. Those who made the football team were Mr. Bogdanovich's future stars- Lubert Lestage, Robbie Wormell, Bob Jensen, Jim Swett, Philip Lestage, Donald Chamard, and Lawrence Presby. Few saw much more than limited duty, but while they were in there, they were fighting and doing their best for us all the time. In the winter sport fbasketballj our class offered three good reserves f Robbie Wormell, Jim Swett, and Phil Lestagej , plus our regular starter Johnny Bragdon, who completed his second year cf varsity basketball. The girls this year are doing a wonderful job cheerleading and building up tlfe morale of the team. Here we have our three repeaters fAnne Wormell, Martha Pratt and Mary Fosterj , plus the new addition of Patsy Peterson. Doing a swell job in basketball. we are proud to say, is our Sophomore class- mate, Rachel St. Pierre. At present Rachel holds the record of forty-four points scored in any one basketball game for the girls' varsity squad. The V. squad of girls' basketball could be called a Sophomore team. The forwards are Ann Hebert, Victoria Clark and Marilyn Jensen, supported by Janet Saucier, Pat Burton and Regina Hayer, who are holding down guard posi- tions. These six girls were the successful Freshman team last year which advanced to J. V. this year as a whole. Their record stands at ten wins and two losses. All in all, we, the Sophomore Class editors of 1955, think our boys and girls have done a wonderful job and we are expecting to hear of bigger and better feats from them in the next two years at the new Westbrook High School. VICTORIA S. CLARK, 'S7. ROBERT E. JENSEN, 'S 7. ANNE L. WORMELL, 'S7. The Freshman Class For the first time in the history of Westbrook High School a girl has been elected class president. She is Donna Skillings. The other officers for our class are Pat Hebert, vice president, Prudence Hawkes, secretary, and Patricia Doucette, treasurer. Some of us have already begun thinking about college. Those who are doing especially well scholastically are Kathryn Anderson, Theresa Barr, Elisabeth Brackett, Jacqueline Cairns, Wayne Carter, Janice Christensen, Jeffrey Christen- sen, Donna Cousens, Rose DiRenzo, Patricia Doucette, Gerard Francoeur, Jeanne Gailey, Cynthia Herring, Carol McKinley, Jeffrey Milliken, Kathleen Morabito, and Linda Plummer. The Freshmen who showed interest and talent in instruments, dancing, speaking, or some other art entertained at Freshman Reception. They were Elisabeth Brackett, piano solo, Rose DiRenzo, tap dance, Brenda Faye, baton solo, Jeanne Gailey, a reading, Sharon Meehan, vocal solo, Joan Murphy, vocal solo, and Norman Ritz, accordion solo. We were also proud of our president, Donna Skillings, who received the official greeting from the Senior class presi- dent, Gene Waters. Some of us felt we had some singing ability, at least enough to be active in the Glee Club. Kathryn Anderson, Judith Barbour, Jackie Cairns, Janice Christensen, Donna Cousens, Shirley Davis, John Early, Susan Farley, Pat Hebert, Judith Kimball, Phil LeClerc, Delilia Leber, Judy Leighton, Robert Levesque, Judy Locke, Frances MacDonald, Dianne Mazerall, Carolyn Morse, Joan Murphy, Susan Porter, Carolyn Preston, and Linda Tapley are all active in it. The Fresh- man boys in the Glee Club help to make up the Barbershop Quartet which rehearses just before Glee Club. The Freshmen who could play instruments were urged to join the band. Those who donned new band uniforms this year were Janice Burke, Donna Cousens, William Ingraham, Robert Levesque, Carol Lovejoy, and Joyce Sarty. One of the biggest events at Westbrook High School is All Westbrook Night. Some of the Freshmen showed active interest in this and tried out. The Freshmen who participated were Elisabeth Brackett, John Chamard, Jeanne Gailey, Sharon Meehan, Jean Minervino, and Norman Ritz. When Mr. Brooks called for anyone with acting ability to come and try out for the school play, he must have been surprised when quite a few members of our class responded. Of a cast of nineteen, five Freshmen were chosen for the parts that best suited them. The five chosen were Elisabeth Brackett, Donna Cousens, Jeanne Gailey, Richard Guevin, and Patricia Hebert. Even the football team had Freshmen on it. Those who did very well were Maurice Ferren, Richard Rowe, Kenneth Secord, and Lester Wormell. When the basketball season started, Freshman boys, both tall and short, appeared on the court. Among them Paul Andrews, Jeff Christensen, Vernon Desjardins, James Devlin, Paul Foster, Gerard Francoeur, Manley Harriman, Jeff Milliken, Louis Milton, and Richard Rowe made the Freshman team. Freshman girls entered basketball wholeheartedly. Those who made the Freshman team were Judith Ames, Janice Christensen, Shirley Davis, Patricia Hebert, Darlene Lefebvre, Dianne Mazerall, and Susan Porter. Donna Cousens really surprised us when she made the Junior Varsity. The majorettes needed more girls this year so Rose DiRenzo and Brenda Faye joined the team. With the mark in activities the Freshman class has already made, it is sure to be recognized in the following years as it continues its good beginning in citizenship, sportsmanship, and scholarship. The only thing the class is not look- ing forward to continuing is that of being the youngest, two years in a row. SUSAN PORTER, 'S8.

Senior Washz'n3ton Club On April 23rd, twenty-five sleepy, but happy, Seniors climbed aboard a bus, ready to start their long desired dream of a trip to Washington, D. C. This Cherished morning didn,t just happen, it took hard Work and under- standing to be able to make the trip. Under the leadership of Ernest Fielder, president, James Roby, vice president, Carol Barbour, secretary, Judith Chick, treasurer, and Miss Richmond and Mr. Martin, faculty advisors, the club spon- sored money raising projects which Were equally beneficial to the school as Well as to the club. The Washington Club is organized in the Junior year and during that year and the Senior year numerous activities such as the lunch bar, dances. and candy sales are undertaken to raise money for the trip.

Mother: 44 Club, now What is that and how long has it been going on? Mary: Gee, you're old fashioned! You can't tell me you donlt even know what the 44', Club is! ! You certainly must have heard about all the things they do. They manned the Student Service Desk, and cleaned out the book room. They take a trip to the State Legislature every other year and they have a banquet in June. But above all they sponsor the major dance in Westbrook High--the Stardust Ball. They have had a Stardust Ball ever since March 8, 1946. They give a gift to the school each year. Last year they gave a subscription in a book club and a globe to the school library. Mother: Who else belongs to the club? Mary: Oh, Jack Anderson is president, Claire Begin is the vice president, while Judy Chick is the secretary and Bruce Libby is the treasurer. Mr. Robinson is our faculty advisor. Mother: When do they meet and what are their meetings like? Mary: They meet every other Wednesday at seven o'clock in the Main Room. They have a business meeting for an hour and after the Hrst meeting, they are initiated. The second hour of the meeting is devoted to some- thing creative, such as guest speakers or forums. Some of the programs planned this year are discussions about the new high school. Mr. Robin- son likes to listen to our opinions. Of course, he doesn't have to use them. Mother: Well, you certainly convinced me. Run along now and come straight home after. McDufHc, Joe Shaw. ETHELYNE BILLINGS, ,S6.

Key Club This year the Key Club made a new record - a personal one - in service projects for the school, community, and also the enjoyment of the members. Last September there were two projects which some of the boys had waited all summer for: selling ice cream at recess and attending Kiwanis supper meetings. Probably the biggest project of the club was the second annual Christmas toy drive for underpriviledged children. Again this year this activity helped in making some households a little brighter at Yule-time. Most of the Seniors had a chance to play with all the toys during the drive, but they had to pay when the school Work Day came. With most of the tasks being on the manual labor side, the club washed walls, Hxed desks, and got tired! When you help someone there is no such thing as a small project, because what is small to one person will probably be huge and gigantic to another. For this reason the club considers the work for the March of Dimes, the distribution of plastic hearts for the Heart Fund, and placing red waste baskets in the school corridors just as important as making money for themselves. Mr. Shaw, who is the club's faculty advisor, spent a lot of time with the boys, and gained his share of grey hairs from some of the members' actions. Barry Lovejoy, who started the year with the club but later moved, and Neal Doucette, who broke his leg during football season, were missed very much throughout the year by the Key Clubbers. Oflicers are Gene Wfaters, president, David Morton, vice president, Neal Doucette, treasurer, Charles Gemmell, acting treasurer, and Clarence Doucet, secretary: New oflicers for the school year 1955-S6 are Theodore Harriman, president, David Billings, secretary, Neal Doucette, treasurer, James Swett, vice president.

The W Club The WH Club was organized in 1944 under the direction of Coach Cormier. It began with only' thirteen members but the number has grown considerably year after year. In the beginning the purpose of the club was to furnish sweaters to the Senior members who had earned their letter. Now they are awarded sweaters and letters at the same time and get certificates the remaining years. During the years the purpose has been altered slightly. The principal inter- est now is to get more students interested in athletics regardless of their skill or ability. The W Club promotes the intramural sports programs of touch foot- ball, basketball, volleyball, softball, track and the grammar school foul shooting contest and track meet. It awards the grammar school athletic trophies. The only requisites for joining the WU Club is earning a letter. Boys may do this in football, basketball, baseball or track. Girls may do this in basketball or cheerleading. There are no dues. The club meets the first Wednesday of each month. This year's officers are president, Gene Waters, vice president, William Hamilton, secretary, Judy Bailey, and treasurer, Ann Delcourt. Mr. Quentin R.

The officers this year are as follows: president, Pat Cousensg vice president, Carol Barbourg secretary, Margaret Fecteaug treasurer, Ann LaBrecque. Two of our Senior girls are really cooking. Dotty Arey won a cake baking contest with a date nut cake. She competed at the food fair in Portland City Hall Qand lost to a girl from Gorhamj . Ann LaBrecque was named Westbrook High School's Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow. She received the highest score in a written examination which tested the homemaking knowledge and attitudes of the Senior girls in the graduating class. She will compete for the state title of All-American Homemaker of Tomorrow. Each year the club gives a supper for the football team. This year it was held February 2, 1955. The club also has an annual spring picnic every year. Two girls were delegates to the district convention in Saco this year. They were Ann LaBrecque and Dotty Arey. The F. H.

The advisors are Mr. Jensen, Mr. Burn- ham, and Mr. Tracy. An executive board was picked and Jerry Sickles was elected chairman. Other members of the board are Andre Lavoie, Donald Mannett, Jerry Brooks, and Richard Bertin. The executive board plans the dances and other activities. Last year the annual picnic was held at Roland Kelson's camp at Ward's Cove. At the closing of this year the members plan another group activity. Also being planned is a proposed scholarship to be awarded to an outstand- ing Industrial student for a technical school or college. We have had a lot of fun this year and hope that the years to come will be just as successful.

This first club carried out its activities under the leader- ship of Miss Jeannette Bonville, faculty advisor, and Douglas Hague, president. They published La Nousette, a French newspaper that appeared on the news stands each month. In later years they took over the management of the lunch bar at recess in order to finance a trip to Quebec. They also sponsored a fashion show each year with both boys and girls as models, making the event a highlight of the year. ' The officers this year are Suzanne Francoeur, presidentg Ann Delcourt, vice president, Lorraine Smith, secretary, Claire Delisle, alternate secretaryg Joel Hawkes, treasurer, and Mr. Martin, faculty advisor. They led the Club in plan- ning the Valentine Dance, which replaced the Mardi Gras. The fever ran high the week before the dance while everyone admired the elaborate decorations in the corridors and marveled at the fact that they could go to a dance with an orchestra and refreshments for only 30 cents. As we go to press, although the members would prefer a voyage to Paris, it appears we will take a boat ride to Peaks Island. ETHELYNE BILLINGS, '56.

The officers are as follows: Richard Bertin, chairmang Martha Mer- rill, treasurerg and Barbara Bogdahn, secretary. The Camera Club has accomplished much this year. They took pictures of the three-act plays and All Westbrook Night and sold them at the performances. Twice a week they have taken pictures of the development of the new Westbrook High School. The pictures for this year's BLUE AND WHITE were taken by the Camera Club. A good job, don't you think? A few trips have been taken this yearg one to Falmouth High School to attend a lecture on photography and another to Jackson and White Studios to which the Falmouth High School Camera Club was invited. They also have a monthly contest on various subjects and the winning photo is posted. This year the Camera Club has the advantage of using a brand new camera. All the members agree that this has been a very successful year and hope that the years to come will bring as good results. MARGUERITE HARDY, 'S6. 1. xl!!

Let me introduce myself. I am the spirit of drama and I've lingered over Westbrook High School for many a year. Drama was launched here about 1907, when the students first entered the world, the world of let,s pretend. I can even remember the first play. I believe it was called 'QA Dark Decep- tion, which was given in Odd Fellows' Hall under the direction of Miss Bartlett. I've watched drama, little by little, taking hold of the students until the annual play became the event of the year. They were attended by enormous audiences. ' The students put on every kind of a performance, from pantomime to musicals, to drama. QWith no apologies to Shakespearej I had to flit here and there taking in every play that ever was. I attended the first few plays flying over a little theater that was then in the park. It was called the Scenic Theater, a theater that helped in making drama real in West- brook. In the years that followed I found myself sitting on a spotlight at the Star Theater where most of the plays were being produced. I know you all have heard of Rudy Vallee. Well, I, being the spirit of drama, took hold of Hubert, as he was then known, and he became one of the country's greats. And to think he got his start in Westbrook High's plays. In 1919, Rudy played the part of a colonel in Green Stockings, which grossed about 5300. Another great is Broadway's Larry Brooks who was known to Westbrook as Camile Huard. I can still remember him as William Peyton in The Prince Chap. A fine performance indeed! As the years flew by, I Watched a play entirely in French put on by French students. It must have been a truly wonderful play, but alas, I didn't take French in my spirit-school days. In 1932, I felt as though I was accomplishing something, for I influenced enough of the students to have them form a dramatic club. The purpose of the club was for the students to learn play-acting, make-up application, and public speaking, and to gain a knowledge of directing and producing. This became Westbrook High School's Little Theater Group. During this time, also, radio was exceedingly popular and some of our own students were in plays over WCSH. But even a spirit gets older and I found myself not being able to get around so much. So I stayed home and listened! I must have convinced myself that I was getting old because I found myself tiring and not nearly so enthusiastic. As a result there was a gradual loss of interest in Dramatics. But the students pulled me back on my feet and Drama again began to thrive. Now this year has really been a big one for the stage. It started out with All Westbrook Night. It was done in Hernando's Hideaway with William Christian as Master of Ceremonies and Sandra Peters as Mistress of Ceremonies. And guess who decided to pay Westbrook a visit that night? Liberace! ! ! I sat there and laughed till my transparent sides ached. I'll bet you did, too! Next was the three-act play called The Night of January 16.,' It was a court scene about a woman who was being tried for the murder of her employer. The jurors were all picked from the audience to determine her fate. I was sitting on the edge of my spotlightg how about you? The cast was as follows: Prison Matron-Donna Cousens Homer VanFleet-Russell Breton Bailiff-Richard Moreau Elmer Sweeny-William Stevens Judge Heath-Ronald Cole Nancy Lee Faulkner--Jeanne Gailey District Attorney Flint- Magda Swenson-Themia Markos XY'illiam Christian John Graham Whitheld-Earl Libby District Attorney Ste'vens- Jane Chandler-Carol Osgood Jerry Brooks Sigurd ,Iunquist--Emerson Trafton Clerk--Richard Guevin Larry Regan-Jerry Sickles Karen Andre-Sandra Peters Roberta Van Rensselaer- Dr. Kirkland--Joseph Shaw Elisabeth Brackett Mrs. John Hutchins-Mary Morton Stenographer-Patricia Hebert At this time I am watching the one-act plays take shape. There are four this year. The first is called Sardines and consists entirely of Freshman and Sophomore girls. The cast is as follows: Mattie Eaton-Sandra Peters Lucy Matkins--Elisabeth Brackett Alfreda Dolittle-Themia Markas Anne Carroll-Donna Cousens Lizzie Pike-Jeanne Gailey The second is called Submerged and is about a torpedoed submarine and its crew. Junior and Senior boys make up the cast: Dunn, the lover-Emerson Trafton Shaw, the dreamer-joseph Shaw Brice, the coward-William Christian MacAndrews, the commander-Jerry Brooks Nobb, the cockney-Russell Breton Jargson, the bully-Jerry Sickles The last is a Russian play by Anton Tchekoff called The Boorf' This play was the schoolis contest entry. The cast is as follows: Grigori Stepanonitch Smirnov-William Christian Helena Ivanovna Papov-Sandra Peters Luka-Jerome Brooks This play was chosen as one of the two winners out of twenty-one entries in the Southwestern division. They will participate in the State of Maine One- Act Play Contest which will be held on April 9. IWE PLACED SECONDI These plays were under the direction of Mr. David Brooks. I enjoyed each and every one and am so glad that so many have participated. I guess I'm really getting a hold on Westbrwk High's would-be Thespiansf' and I hope they take me with them to the new school. , SANDRA PETERS, ' S 7.

Two for nothingf' Thatis Mr. Delulio, our band director. He counts off a snappy two beats and the band crashes into the melodic strains of the Washington Post March. Everything seems to be going along fine when Mr. Delulio stops, for no apparent reason, and when Mr. Delulio stops-the band stops-or else. I don't hear any third trumpetsf' he says, third trumpets, take it from the third measure of the Erst strain and take the second ending. And that's the Way it goes. The band plays everything from Boogie Woogie Band to Waves of the Danube and from the Pacific Grandure Over- ture to the Semper Fidelis March. 1954-55 has certainly been an outstanding year in the history of the band. We have received new uniforms, thanks to the Band Mothers' Club and the school board. We have had a joint concert with Winslow High band in our auditorium, and We are planning a joint concert with Rumford at Rumford. The band played at all the football games, besides putting on several assemblies and the annual concert. Our director sent the following names to the All State Band which was held in South Portland: Fred Noack, Betty Bloomer, Janice Wood, Jerry Brooks, Ann Burton, Priscilla Hatt, Marleen Chandler, Russell Breton, William Christian, Ronald Cole, and Larry Slade. All were accepted. Besides this, our band will play at the Maine Music Festival, as usual, and will play at the Baccalaureate and the Graduation of the Senior Class. But let's go back and take a look at the history of the band. The first group to form was not a band, but an orchestra. This orchestra came into being about 1925, and stood alone for seven years under the leadership of Miss Mae Par'- menter. Also during this year, she started a band, which lasted only two years. From 1934 to 1943, there was only an orchestra. 1943 is a red letter year as far as the band goes. They were given new uniforms fthe girls wore skirtsj. From this time on, the band continued to grow. It remained until 1950, when it again disappeared. In 1951, the band was back to stay, and what a band! As it stands, there are more than fifty pieces, and if you should happen to attend a rehearsal, you would no doubt hear Mr. Delulio say, I want you to sound like professionals, not amateurs, at least once. And true enough, the band does sound more like a professional group with each rehearsal. Yes, needless to say, the band has never been this good in sound or in looks Cuniformsj 4 and that's not blowing our own trumpets either. BETTY BLOOMER, '56. FRED NoAcK, '56. Cjllajorettes This year the majorette squad, as well as the band, has grown and improved. The majorettes are: Angela Rondeau, head majoretteg Patricia Anderson, Pauline Grant, Ann Grifliths, Janet Saucier, Rose DiRenzo, and Brenda Faye. They have attended and marched at all the band rehearsals on Tuesday mornings and Thursday evenings. Some of the activities they have participated in are football games, parades and assemblies. The outstanding affairs were the Maine Festival in Portland, the annual concert with the band and glee club, and the joint concerts, one with Winslow here and one with Rumford at Rumford. In January, they received, at long last, new uniforms. These were dark blue, trimmed in white with small pillbox hats. They are really nifty. We'd like more girls to participate in this activity. We know you'll like it. A. RONDEAU. The Band Cfllothers, Club The Band Mothers' Club has been in existence for two years. The officers of the club this year are: president, Mrs. Lloyd Farwellg vice president, Mrs. Howard Stevensg secretary, Mrs. Charles Bloomerg treasurer, Mrs. Arthur Moreau. The membership of this club is open to any mother of a Band member. The aim of the club is to furnish uniforms and instruments for the Band and to create more local interest in it. They were hoping to outfit the Band before the 1955 Wfestern Maine Music Festival. Things were looking rather dark by the late autumn because, although the mothers had done very well, the Band was growing rapidly and twice as much money was needed. One rainy afternoon in late November telephone wires over the city were really buzzing as Band members began letting each other know about some wonderful news. That evening everyone was early to rehearsal and many were the shouts of joy as each new arrival was hailed with the news which he had already heard. y The Band Mothers' Club had been notified that the School Committee had voted to match the money that the club could raise! This meant the Band would have their uniforms long before the Music Festival. The new uniforms arrived in january and were issued by Mr. Delulio. On February 4 when the Band put on an assembly in honor of the new uniforms, no one was prouder or happier than the Band members unless it was those few mothers who were seated in the back of the gym.

The oilicers of the club are: president, Judy Smith, vice president, Basil Boobasg and secretary, David Martin. Glee Club at Westbrook High School dates as far back as 1885. Then there were only eight members. As the club did not have a regular music supervisor, Miss Mary Wilbur, who was musically inclined, acted as advisor. They met once a week. Our Glee Club of today is a very busy and active one. The Glee Club corn- bined with the band put on the annual Christmas Assembly, and is now looking forward to a joint concert on May 23 with the band. Another important event on the Glee Club calendar is the Western Maine Music Festival to be held on May 14 at Sanford. At this annual event, the Glee Club is auditioned by a selected group of judges, and then marches in the parade composed of all band and chorus groups in Western Maine. For the first time Westbrook High School will be presented by eight mem- bers of the Glee Club in the All-State Chorus to be held in South Portland, April 13, 14, 15, and 16. Those taking part are Beverly Billings, David Billings, Marilyn Dobson, Charles Emery, Edwin Hawkes, Hilda Hillock, Lillian Merrill, Patricia Peterson, and Judy Smith. Basil Boobas, our accompanist, was one of the four winners of the Ralph T. Gould Award, an all expense paid trip to New York. While in New York, Basil attended the opera Carmen and La Traviatef' He was also a guest at the Ziegfeld Theatre where he saw the Broadway Production of Kismet, and was also taken on a guided tour through the United Nations Building, and other points of interest. Patricia Peterson won honorable mention in the same contest. This is the first time that a student of Westbrook High School has won this award. Music at Westbrook High School is rapidly becoming one of the major activities. BASIL BooBAs, '56. BARBERSHOP SINGERS Firsl row, Ivfl In rigfal: Peter Lee Swan, Robert Levesque.

ANDQH THENES QAME 9 s AF 5purts:4 Baseball fDurz'ng The Last Fzfty Years Contrary to popular belief the sport that has caused the most excitement here at WHS during the past half-century has been baseball. Of course, this is not official, because unfortunately no one has attended every high school ath- letic contest during the past S0 years. Therefore it seems that we will have to rely on the pages of Blue Blazer history contained in yearbooks of recent years. If you believe that championship teams cause the most excitement then you will probably agree with the following wholeheartedly, if you don't, well, read on anyway and enjoy the proceedings of this article. Through the years of 1923 to 1928, inclusively, the Westbrook High School baseball nines won the Telegram League baseball championships. It was during these years that two of the team's best players developed their skill that Was to carry them on to higher honors. In the year 1924 the diamond team had one of their best records up until that time winning 14 games and dropping only two. During the course of the season they ran one win streak up to 13 games in a row. Also in this year Gene Hebert established a new Telly League record of 11 consecutive strikeouts. Hebert Went on to play with many semi-pro teams, and his activity is remembered with great color by the people of Steep Falls. It was noted that his best performance of the season was a 4-3 decision against Thornton Academy. He had to survive for 14 innings before he could claim the victory for Westbrook. Also on that 1924 squad were Chimmy Chamard, Ellis LeBeau, Charles Canning, and Clifford Canning. Chimmy Chamard led the league in batting with an even .500 average and he also led the group in stolen bases with 27. In 1926, a high school boy who had been attending Catholic High trans- ferred to Westbrook. The lad's name was Hormidas QHuskyj Aube, and after WHS and college he went on to play with the New York Yankees. Husky is now Police Chief here in the Paper City. In 1927, probably the finest team of baseball players ever organized at Westbrook High was fielded. The only possible exception was the team of 195 1. The '27 club besides winning the Telegram League Crown grabbed every single title contained in league baseball that year-most runs, highest team bat- ting average, etc. The boys had a 13-2 mark, good for .857 and their batting average as a nine was .274. Their fielding average was a masterful .928 and they scored 153 runs compared to S3 for their opponents. Five years later in 1933 the team won the Telly title again. In 1934, they lost the sunberth in a play-off game with South Portland High and in 1936 they repeated. Two years later, in 1938, they again copped the loop crown with a classy 13-1 record under baseball mentor Hap Crozier. On that year's squad were Ken Wright, Phil Robichaud, Lefty Grove, Bill Aube, and a host of others. They repeated again in 1940 and tried for the state title by beating Frye- burg and Bangor and then losing to Lewiston S-2 in the final. The latest Blazer team to Win state honors was the 1951 squad under the expert coaching eye of Fearless Fred Harlow. The three mainstays of the club were Bill Cary, Bob McHardy, and Bunky,' Buotte. Cary and Buotte were battery mates with Bill doing the hurling and Bunky,' working behind the plate. Mac hovered about the shortstop position. This outfit clinched the state title when Cary stopped Presque Isle 9-0 in the last game he pitched for Westbrook. This year he was selected to represent the United States along with 14 other baseball players from all over America in the World Games. This year, 195 S, we can only predict the outcome of the season to come. Fred Harlow will have two dependable pitchers to look forward to: Bill Hamil- ton and Hormidas Uuniorj Aube, son of the hurler on the 1926 champions. Hammy hasihad a lot of experience and will prove very valuable. Bill Brag- don and Dave Sinclair will probably do the catching. At Hrst base Ron fTigerj Estes will undoubtedly operate and Gene Waters will play the hot corner. Second and short are still questions. Whether the underclassmen have another Lou Boudreau or Bobby Doerr in their midst is still unknown. When not on the mound Hamilton or Aubc will probably be in the garden, along with Don Chamard, Bruce Libby and others. All that the rooters of base- ball can do is hope that this year's team will follow in the path of their illustrious predecessors.

Football Cffow And 50 Years C3430 Believe it or not in the year 1904 the great sport of football was in the developing stage here at Westbrook High School, and 50 years later, in 1954, the team was still developing. The Blazer gridiron squad of 1954 ended the fall season with a 2-4-1 record, and S0 years earlier Westbrook High fielded a team that completed the year with a classy 3-1-1 mark. Nowadays, a football team is usually expected to play about eight games, games that might take them away from their home battle area. However, in 1904, the five game season was something to brag about. Further proof that the times have really changed is evident in the manner in which the game was played. During the recent season no one would have ex- pected jim Roby or Tommy Waters to play without a good strong helmet and some extra thick shoulder pads. However, in 1904, anyone who could grab hold of shoulder pads was considered somewhat of a god. Of course, helmets in a high school football tangle were out of the question since all it did was get in your way, and besides it was just an added weight to carry around. Oh! Another thing. In 1954, the football schedule was undoubtedly set up before school closed in June, 1954. Things Were done differently in 1904 because no one even knew that there was going to be a football squad until school began in September. As far as games were concerned the manager of the team decided Whom the school would play and When. In this modern age the managers probably have jobs which are just as important, yet you can be sure that they wouldn't want to be the ones to take on the responsibility of scheduling games. This year Ed Bogdanovich, an All Yankee Conference player from the Uni- versity of Maine, was the coach of the Blue Blazes. The young instructor did a fine job in organizing the group and teaching them his brand of football strategy. Fifty years ago the story was quite different. Mr. Clifford Lowell was coach of the football team and Mr. Grant Pierce, who was sub-master of the high school at that time, served as morale-builderf' and from all indications he did a whale of a good job. Practice began on September 14, 1904, and ten days later the Blazes won their first game of the year 5 to 0 over Morse High of Bath. g In the good ole daysi' there were no such complications as quarters, games were usually two halves of 15 minutes and 10 minutes, respectively. Touch- downs only counted for 5 points. fWho says that Canadian football is new?j In the year 1904, Westbrook met a South Portland High School team and gavethem the shellacking of their life, 42-0. SPHS is now regarded as one of the top teams in this area in Triple F football. Also on the schedule in 1904 was a very big Thornton Academy gridiron combine which outweighed Westbrook IO pounds per manf' No score of the game Was given but it wasn't as big an upset as the TA boys had been hoping for. This year the Blazes were slightly subdued by TA again to the tune of 42-0. Gene Waters was captain of this year's football team and proved to be a great leader on and off the gridiron. Neal fBillyj Doucette, a promising and courageous junior backfield man suffered a leg injury in the first game of the year. The mishap closed his career in football, but his spirit for WHS kept the team fighting all year long. Here is the record of the two teams: I 9 04 Westbrook Morse Westbrook Brunswick Westbrook Brunswick Westbrook Thornton Academy Westbrook South Portland Westbrook Fryeburg 19 5 4 Westbrook Biddeford Westbrook St. Louis Westbrook Cheverus Westbrook Brunswick Westbrook Sanford Westbrook Morse Westbrook St. Dominic Westbrook Thornton Academy CLARENCE DoUcET 5 5 Fin! row, left to right: Robert Tourangeau, James Levesque, William Bragdon, William Hamilton, Wilfred Leighton, John Bragdon.

Basketball C3411 Stars Westbrook High won its first state championship in basketball in 1925, and since that time the hoop sport has come and gone in spurts. Only during the past decade has it gained the prominence in school athletics it now holds. Since 1925 the Blue Blazes have won only three state championships, and for the majority of the seasons from 1920 to 1940 local teams finished their season on the lower than average side. However, only this year has school spirit for basketball reached such a low ebb. During one year Qwhich will remain unnamed for obvious reasonsj the team lost every single game it played, yet the student body cheered the team until the final Whistle of the season tooted. Based entirely on former yearbook write-ups the following men deserve all-time all star credit. Roland Flinn, who played for the Blazes first championship team, gains position No. 1. Flinn captained the 1925 team which boasted a 18-2 record, and the year- book states that he was the sparkplug of the team. He played basketball for his entire school career, and Was a big factor in its success. According to the 1928 yearbook, a lad named Raymond Sullivan displayed remarkable leadership that held the team together. Besides his playing record it is this honest statement that Wins Mr. Sullivan a spot on the all-time all star team for 1920-1945. A star must have leadership, and the writer must have seen this in Sullivan. As a player he was of exceptional talent. In the days when low scoring games were prevalent he led the team and averaged about 15 points a game. During the most thrilling game of the 1927 season he dumped 11 points through the hoop to lead the Blazes past Deering, 29-28. It took Westbrook eight years after this game before they again defeated Deering. A very interesting fact about the 1927 team is that they were invited to go to Chicago to participate in a Tournament to decide the championship of the United States. However, the school board decided that this would prolong the season and they never went to the Windy City. The next two players are brothers who, although they never played on the high school team together, proved to have valuable leadership ability. Henri Cote, who was a hoopster during the early thirties and Adrian fBuckj Cote who played in the late thirties. Henri is mentioned as the leader of the team for his four years in high school, and the same is true of Buck. The final position of this 1920-45 all star team goes to Colin Roma, of the 1920 era. Roma, along with teammate Ray Sullivan, was one of the sparkplugs for the two state championship teams of 1925 and 1927. Second only to Sullivan, he was the number 2 man in every department during that period. The second team, consisting of players under the Davan Decade, boasts players of exceptional court talent. Since Mr. Davan began coaching in Westbrook High School he has :Eelded a Tournament team with the exception of this year. He has seen these boys progress through grammar school and in most cases he could predict their ability by the time they entered high school. Jim QBambiJ Hebert, one of the most dead-eye-dick shots the Blue Blazes have ever claimed, is the first player to be selected for the 1945-54 team. Hebert displayed alertness both on the floor and in the classrooms. Bob MacHardy, now at Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, is the next member of this squad. During the 1951 season he was selected for the All Telegram Class L team, the All Tournament team, and he was presented the George Vinall Trophy for outstanding sportsmanship during the tournament. This was the first time the award was presented. At Rollins, Bob has been selected for the All-Florida state team for three years in a row. Jackie Gaudette is another member of the modern all-time all star team. Jackie was one of the most flashy and spirited ball players that WHS has ever had as a representative. A sure shot on the one-handed jump, he was as clever in liqandling the ball as he was when shooting. He also received the George Vinall rop y. Tall Tony Wedge, now the greatest basketball player in the history of Gorham State Teachers College, gains a position on this all star team. The most remarkable achievement claimed by Tony is the 68 points he scored in the 1952 Class L Tournament. He was also chosen for the All Tournament team. The fifth position on this all star team is a toss-up between short and fast Phil QBunkyJ Buotte, one of the most colorful athletes ever to enter the portals of Westbrook High in many a year, and Bill Cary, one of the most scientific players that the Blazes have seen. Both Phil and Bill were A11 Tourney players, but Cary was selected as a member of the Second All-New England team for 195 1. There are the teams chosen from Westbrook High yearbooks, and they prove to be a good topic for sessions around the pot-bellied stove. That's the way it should be because everyone who has ever graduated from Westbrook High is sure that his class had the All Stars. This year Blue Blazer basketball didn't produce any state champions, but it did prove that basketball has come a long way since the early 1900's. Twenty- seven years ago the top scorer of the area totalled something like 190 points. This year, Bill Hamilton, Westbrook's top scorer hit for 381 points in 22 games. Besides this, four other Blazers hit for more than 100 points. They were Jim Levesque f187j , Bill Bragdon Q170j , Will Leighton 11371 and John Bragdon f129j. Bill Bragdonis virus infection which forced him to miss 10 important games seriously injured Westbrook's chances for a winning season. However, the boys played great basketball and displayed very fine sportsmanship.

Girls j fldasketball The 1954-SS girls' basketball season started off with thirty-five or forty girls reporting to Miss Weeks on November 22. After four weeks of practice the teams were finally selected. The girls wearing varsity uniforms were: fSeniorsj Ann LaBrecque, Patricia Cousens Qco-captainsj, Louise Berry, Lorna Payne, Judy Pinkham, Marilyn Record, QJuniorsJ Rowena Merrill, Peggy Hebert, Judy Saunders, Sandra Madsen, Rena Jones, CSophomorej Rachel St. Pierre, who was the high scorer for the season. It is believed that her 44 points in one game is the high scoring record. The varsity has had a very succcessful season in spite of the hard luck at the beginning because of illness. There were two one-point losses to Gorham and Deering. In the second game with Deering our girls were out to avenge the one-point loss and came through on the long end of a 70 to 44 score. The season ended with a 9-S record. Orchids to Coach Wfeeks and all the Varsity girls for a job well done. Next in line for congratulations are the Junior Varsity girls who also came through with a successful season. Those playing were Captain Jackie Jordan, Victoria Clark, Ann Hebert, Marilyn Jensen, Janet Saueier, Jean Hayer, Pat Burton, and Donna Cousens. If these girls play as well next year as they did this year we don't have too much to worry about. They did an excellent job of win- ning 9 games out of 11. The Freshman team was made up of Susan Porter, Patty Hebert, Judy Ames, Dianne Mazerall, Darlync Lefebvre, Shirley Davis, and Janice Christensen. They did a Hne job, considering the few practices they were able to have. The Freshmen only played four games during the season and won 1 out of 4. The basketball girls of Westbrook High have done fine jobs for their respec- tive teams. We give our thanks to Miss Weeks for guiding us through a success- ful season. Let's all hope next year will be as good if not better! Gorham Old Orchard Cathedral Ileerhag Wfaynflete South Portland Thornton Alumni J. V.

In these years the girls were never surprised to play before an audience of 100 rooters as compared today with the girls play- ing for an empty gym. Although we do have our three faithful rooters, Mrs. Adelaide Hebert, Mrs. Bernice Jones, and Mrs. Florence Merrill, they can't be expected to make the noise of a full gym. The early years of basketball were as hectic as a three-ring circus! The girls went to Rockland by train fthe poor conductors!! and other places on overnight trips to play before the boys' games. Who is for this today? After all the home games the girls would hang up their high-laced sneakers, shapeless knickers fdid wonders for a girl's figure!j, knee guards, knee length stockings and their middy blouses to serve refreshments of hot cocoa, cake and sandwiches to the visiting girls, and boys' team. Lack of publicity in girls' sports was due to the intense interest in boys' athletics until the 1923-24 season when the girls were the champs of the state. Coach Milton Philbrook and his starting team consisting of Captain Alice Girard, Marian Smith, Harriett Lucas, Marjorie King, Marian Emery, and Clara Robin- son won over Morse High and were sectional champs until they were challenged by Lee Academy and oflicially recognized as state champs. This year the fans followed the girls instead of the boys! The cheer that echoed the corridors this year was: W-E-S-T-B-R-O-O-K Westbrook! Westbrook! Kiyi, Kiyi, Kiyi, Kiyi for Westbrook High. Marking another first in the history of girls' basketball was that shorts were worn daringly above their knees! When the time came for the Champs', pic- tures a disapproving glance from the coach soon brought the shorts and stockings to their original meeting position! It is a lady,s business to look beautiful, and there are hardly any sports in which she can do it, so goes the saying in the 1937 yearbook. just look at the names of the lovely ladies today that played yesterday: Grace Flash Pedneault, Harriet Bumps Cutler, Marguerite Muggsie Luthe, Viola Shorty Chaplin, and Ruth Hawkeye Harmon. See, a little basketball didn't stop them from snagging a husband! It won't today either! Because of the depression, the year 1933 found the girls not receiving sweaters and W's even though admission was charged at the Legion Hall to attend their games in an attempt to help the Athletic Department buy them. This was one of the largest hoop squads in the history of girls' basketball and despite the uncertainty of receiving anything for their efforts many showed great interest. All in all, W. H. S. has had a good record even when they were losing many of their games because the girls were learning the true value of good sportsman- ship, a trait that is vitally needed in the world today. . ROWENA MERRIl.L, ' S 6. Field Hockey What is the matter, girls? In 1952, the girls were very enthusiastic about field hockey when Coach Arlene Henderson undertook the tough job of teaching the girls how to play. The co-captains of that first team were Joan Robie and Judy Grifliths. This year, we are sorry to say, field hockey was dropped as a fall sport for the girls because of the lack of interest. As the game is played with eleven girls, Coach Frances XVeeks found it cliflicult to practice and after a lengthy discussion with the girls and other interested parties it was agreed upon to wait until next year. One thing that everyone stresses too much is the fact that field hockey is only for the rougher girls. Honestly, girls, it isn't! The boys compare it with football and scare the girls no end. I am sure that most of the girls in the high school today have played rougher games in their own neighborhood than what is played on a hockey Held. A school as large as Westbrook High School that has all the equipment that is necessary to play field hockey ought to be able to have more girls than the few that we had this year. The few out of the many that found interest enough to try field hockey Were: Judy Ames, Ethelyne Billings, Barbara Buteau, Ann Haley, Rena Jones, Ann LaBrecque, Darlyne Lefebvre, Sandra Madsen, Judy Saunders, Teresa Sirois, Janice Wood, and Rowena Merrill. Possibly you don't care Whether this sport is dropped or not but why not give yourself the chance to see if you like the game. We hope to see many girls out for this sport next year and we want to send a personal invitation to YOU. At least give it a try! Come on, girls, you are missing a lot of fun!

W Z f ' f LQ Q4 MAD SCIENTISTS AT WORK Chemistry Chemistry has been taught at Wfestbrook since 1885 and has remained a popular subject. In the early years it was among those subjects which were re- quired. It was rather difficult to teach chemistry as we know it today before 1914, for that was when the first real laboratory was completed. Before that time probably they had a cupboard and some other minor equipment. As advances have been made in the field of science, chemistry has grown in its importance. Today we not only study it from a book, but, also from actual experimentation. In this way we are able to apply science to the world around us. Mr. Chandler is the present Head Chemist succeeding Mr. Robinson, who held the position for eleven years. Through the years there have been no serious accidents, but I am sure class- mates of the girl who swallowed acid, or the boy who spilled some on his pants- guess the results-will never forget. Very frequently neighbors see us hanging out the windows, but they know by now that nothing more serious than an unholy odor has invaded the atmos- phere. Chemistry is not only fun, it is a new kind of study to its students and is well worth anybody's time. PRISCILLA HATT, 'S6. BEVERLY BILLINGS, 'SS. LATlN'S STILL THE SAME! The Latin Class When we enter our first year of Latin we are not sure what to expect until We see the smiling countenance of Mrs. Adams, our Latin teacher. The first year We struggle through declensions and conjugations. We endlessly learn rules. As We progress into our second year of Latin, we begin to study Caesar and all of his exploits. Cicero, our main topic of study in the third year, was a great orator and is a great deal of Work for the conscientious student. When Westbrook High set up its first courses of study, two of the three courses, the Academic and the College Prep, required four years of Latin. The College Prep also required four years of Greek. In the early l900's, a Latin Club by the name of The Roman Candles was started. The Latin teacher at the time was Miss Elizabeth Whittier, who was the advisor of the club. Finally the club ended, and there has not been another since. Latin is a valuable subject to take. It helps you to puzzle out the problems in English grammar, vocabulary and history. I, for one, certainly have enjoyed my years of taking Latin and there are undoubtedly others who share my exact sentiments toward this subject. BETTY BLOOMER, 'S6. SHAKESPEARE IS SO MUCH FUN Eng fish Class Mr. Brooks' first period Senior English Class is unique this year. It is com- prised of boys who are taking a variety of courses. This general English class is designed to expose them to good literature and better grammar habits. They began with spelling practice. To improve their grammar they struggled with Self-Aids for a quarter, as do all Seniors in order to graduate. In fact, like some of the rest, several of the class put in two full quarters! They became familiar With such classics as Shakespeare's Macbeth and Shaw's St. Ioan. In modern literature they read The Citadel by A. J. Cronin. They used the book Modern Literature and read the more famous modern stories. They also read their regular eight book reports. During the month of March they had an opportunity to do a little writing of their own. They did a term paper on the subject of their choice which involved much reading and research fin most casesj . Consequently this class reached its goal of learning a lot and at the same time enjoying it. WILLIAM C. CHRISTIAN, 'SS. GEOMETRY IN ART GEOMETRY IN INDUSTRY Geometry Probably the oldest study in high school is geometry. Geometry is the study of space. In geometry a point has no size and a line, no width or thickness. There are two sides of geometry--the logical and practical. Geometry goes Way back to the Egyptians who used it in building their pyramids. They also used it to make a survey of their farms to determine the right boundaries after the Nile River had flooded its banks. The Greeks developed geometry and put it to practical use in their arts and architecture. Although the Romans used geometry in the construction of their buildings, roads, and aqueducts, they added nothing to it. Geometry is the only secondary school subject concerned mainly with rea- soning. Abraham Lincoln interrupted his law course to review geometry. He felt it would increase his logic and reasoning. It's no wonder that so many students are interested in this subject which is taught so well by Mrs. Hutchinson. It has been her aim to teach her pupils logic and reasoning through geometry. Geometry was a required subject in all courses at Wfestbrook High School in 1891, but today is required only in the industrial and college preparatory courses. MARTHA MERRILL, 'S6.

Ojqice Helpers These are the boys and girls who help perform the numerous simple duties around the school. There is very little glory attached to their positions but with- out them the school schedule could not function as well as it does. For their small jobs they deserve large credit. q3hysz'cal Education These are the boys and girls who enjoy themselves through the physical education program. Mixed classes means that boys and girls can participate in such activities as dancing and volleyball. WET-X1 Q 1 E A if D Ula 5Down Through T722 Years Down through the years from the time Westbrook High School was estab- lished, it has been progressing in education and expanding in size. These interesting items have been collected from the minds and memories of past graduates of Westbrook High School. In 1883, the first public graduation was held by Westbrook High at a Con- gregational Church. There were three graduates: Lotta May Woodman, Eleanor Murch, and Hattie Hamblin. Around the turn of the century, the school day began at 8:00 and came to an end at 12:00. Such pranks, as are played today, were played then. Boys rolled shot down the aisle letting it hit against the wall making a noise which disturbed the class. They chewed on their tongues to attract the attention of the teachers who would ask what they were chewing on. They would then stick out their tongues. Grace MacPherson, a teacher at Forest Street, recalls from 1900-1902, that manual training was established by Ned Warren at Warren School. This subject was open to boys and girls alike. The Hrst item the girls made was a wedge. Physical Education was promoted by Cornelia Warren and one of the earliest instructors was Mr. Ross. Another thing to note, for years morning CXCYCISCS were held for all classes in the Main Room. In 1912, the first Washington trip was held, at the cost of S32 per person. The chaperones for this trip were Mr. and Mrs. Andrews, the principal and his wife. The group took a train to Boston, but proceeded on to New York by boat. As they entered New York harbor early in the morning, they saw the Statue of Liberty. In the city they visited the Hippodrome. From New York they traveled to Philadelphia and saw such interesting sights as the U. S. Mint and the Liberty Bell. After leaving Washington, it took them five days to reach home. Basketball has always been an attraction at Westbrook High and in 1915, they went to the games on a trailer, hitched to the back of a trolley car. When Westbrook won the basketball championship in the years between 1913 and 1917, Hazel Wyer, a teacher in Westbrook, recalls how the students did a snake dance down Congress Street. The games were held at Cumberland Gym and plays, shows, etc., at the Star Theatre. '- The Woman's Relief Corps presented Wfestbrook High School with an American flag in 1918. In 1919, the Seniors taught some of the subjects to the lower classes because of a shortage of teachers. Harold Fernald, a student in 1920, remembers the days when the students from Pride's Corner came to school by horse-and-buggy while the students from White Rock came by train. That year the graduation was held outdoors at Warren Park. . The BLUE AND WHITE was published with class pictures for the first time in 1921, but these pictures were only snapshots. Miss Abbott, present history teacher at Westbrook High, came in 1925 when James Lewis was principal. In this year the Charleston became the dance craze and school was closed for the Gorham Fair. In 1924, basketball again attracts attention but not with such a glow. The coach was Paul Frazer and Charles Sinclair was the manager of the team which won only one game While losing five. Norwood MacDonald, librarian at Warren Library, attended school in 1924 when Westbrook played Cheverus for the Telegram League Baseball Cham- pionship. The game was a sell-out and S. D. Warren closed down to attend it. Husky Aube pitched for Cheverus and Gene Hebert for Westbrook. West- brook won. In this year Mr. Philbrook was sub-master under Mr. James Lewis. We now arrive at 1931 when Mrs. Freda QBurrowsj Preston attended the Freshman Reception. Here small booklets were given to the new students with some of these statements or rules: Freshman girls shall not attempt to hide their greenness by painting their faces red. Freshmen must never forget that they are Freshmen. All Freshmen must be tucked in their cribs by 7:30. As we reminisce, these clubs which are not present in today's program meet the eye. There was a Latin Club called the Roman Candles, a Debating Club, and the D. U. S. fDon't Use Slangj. Fashions always interest the girls but look how these have changed: knee length pleated skirts, high-button shoes, large hats with feathers in them for the girls, and boots or shoes, suits, four-in-hand ties, and high collared shirts for the boys. In 1922, the cheerleaders wore navy blue pleated skirts, with a W,' on their white sweaters, and a white tam on their head. For the first basketball games the girls were garbed in blue bloomers, white blouses, long black stockings, and a tie or ribbon at the neck. After strolling through the years, one can clearly see the expansion West- brook High School has made, and the room for expansion it will always have. ROBERTA HUDSON, rs S. Early Schooling In Westbrook The very first formal high school graduation in the city of Westbrook took place in the year 1883. This graduation class consisted of only three girls. In 1884, there was no graduating class. But in 1885, there was a total of eight graduating, seven girls, and Mr. William Farley, who supplied us with this information. This class graduated from the first high school in Wfestbrook, which is now the Valentine Grammar School. The actual graduation took place at the Methodist Church here in Westbrook. All graduates had a part in the exercises. Instead of wearing caps and gowns as is done today, the girls wore brand new dresses, and the boy wore a new suit with a very high stiff collar. Instead of gifts and awards at this graduation, parents and friends presented bouquets of flowers in the style of a pillow to all the students. The exercises were open to everyone and many attended. Most of the students that graduated went on with their education. Some attended such schools as the Westbrook Seminary, Normal Schools, and Gray's Business College. All the students had graduation pictures taken, so that they could exchange them with other class- mates. This is also done today. The graduation would seem old fashioned to us today. The program opened with the salutatory address, followed by an oration, several poems, the class history, the class prophecy, and finally the valedictory address. The class song was sung. Music was played in between each speaking part by a hired orchestra. Following the graduation there was a receiving line, preceding a dance with refreshments. Schooling in these early years was very strict. Either you passed or you didn't. All students took the same subjects. The following subjects were taught: English, arithmetic, algebra, geometry, chemistry, history, government, Greek, spelling, and elocution. All these subjects were taught by two teachers, including the principal. Elocution was taught by a teacher who gave lessons in the school. All books had to be purchased by the students. School began at 9 o'clock and let out at 4:30. An hour was provided at noon time for lunch. The bell sounding the end of school was rung by hand by the principal. Students being tardy in the morning made up the time after school. All teaching in the school was carried on in two classrooms besides a chemis- try laboratory - this being a recitation room, which contained only benches where the students went to recite orally, and a study room. Examinations were given regularly in all subjects at the end of each term. The arithmetic exam consisted of three long problems, all of which had to be correct in order to pass. Any errors had to be made up. These ranks were re- corded in a rank book. There were no rank cards. The teachers would simply notify the student if he or she passed. As Mr. Farley says, with a twinkle in his eye, Boys were better students than girls. There were no such things as scholarships in 1885. If students were not financially able, they just didn't go to college. Entrance examinations were given in 1885. They were very diflicult and long. Your entrance to a particular college depended, of course, on the results of your entrance examinations. To a few students, school was all play and no work. Some of the boys of 1885 were real rough and tough and would pick on the girls all the time. As Mr. Farley remembers it, one time a group of boys filled the chimney with hay and stones and then lit the stove. Immediately thick clouds of black smoke poured into the classrooms. In fact, it caused such a riot that the school was closed for that day. Several of the boys, before school each morning, would throw the girls into the woodbox and lock them there until the teacher let them out later that morning. Another sport that was popular in 1885 was spit-ball throwing. Mr. Farley claims to have been the expert shot. There were very few clubs in 188 5. Among those that were established was the glee club, which was run by one of the teachers. Dramatics also started dur- ing this time. The first school play was Hiawatha.', There were no dances held at all in school, but many of the students went on skating parties. f In sports the boys had organized a baseball team. This team would practice on Oak Street or Main Street where Ray's Filling Station is now located or on Scotch Hill. A game that will not be forgotten was one between Westbrook and Gorham. A11 the baseball players as Well as all the fans had to walk to and from Gorham, and by the time they got there they were quite exhausted. Even so, Westbrook High School won the game by a very high score of 40-16. How many of us today would walk seven or more miles to a baseball game? It is interesting to note how far we have come in education compared to 1885. As We go to press 116 Seniors expect to graduate in June. This is quite a difference from the eight who graduated seventy years ago. BASIL P. BOOBAS, 156. fi ' E5 . .as fi iii Mi M Q W. H. S.

Graduates Of Westbrook H135 In keeping with the theme of this year's yearbook, we thought it only fit- ting to do an article on the success of some of the graduates of Westbrook High School. As there is little written information on what happens to people after high school Verna Dumond and I interviewed Mrs. Pickard, Westbrook's woman of the year and active social worker, and Mr. Harry Lowell, both long time residents of Westbrook. Inasmuch as they had to rely on memory, neither they, nor we, Wish to assume responsibility for the correctness of the in- formation. We also wish to assure you that no omissions were made intentionally for we obtained as many of these achievements as we possibly could. Who of those present at the 1920 commencement exercises upon seeing Hubert Prior Vallee emerge from the huge pumpkin as Mr. Westbrook would have dreamed he would some day sweep the country with his voice, sax and band. It is true he did and went on to perform in every medium of entertainment even to the present day when he now has a new radio show. Another famous singer is Larry Brooks known to most of us as Camile Huard. On Broadway he wowed the nation in Song of Norway. At the present time he is doing night club work and is understudy for the lead in the current Broadway favorite Silk Stockings. These are particularly famous because they are in the public eye, but there are many other people who have also made important achievements. In the sciences and in medicine some of the alumni who have made good are Dr. Winford Smith, Superintendent of Johns Hopkins Hospital, Dr Ruth Stiples, founder of the Hrst nursing school in the country at Lincoln, Nebraska, Dr. Mortimer Warren, a specialist, Mr. Ricker, Washington authority on flowers and birds, who recently published an article in National Geographic. In the business world Harry McCann is president of the McCann Advertis- ing Agency in New York City and is very nearly a millionnaire. Henry Hawes is Vice President of the California branch. Clifford Lowell is State Bank Exami- ner of California. In fact, many young men and women who graduated from the commercial course have become fine office and business workers. In railroading both Stanley and George Philips have become chief engineers. In the service we are honored to have a Brigadier General, Nat Burnellg a Lieutenant Colonel, Harold Cloudmang and Mrs. Richardson, elected to the West Point General Infirmary. Clayton Adams, son of Mrs. Harriet Adams, our Latin teacher, is a submarine technician in the Navy. We also honor those who fought in our nation's great wars, some of whom gave their lives. Among those educated at Westbrook High School who later became educa- tors themselves are Mr. Anthony G. L. Brackett, Superintendent of Schools in Westbrook, Mr. Roy A. Robinson, our present Principal, and Mr. Carl Jensen, Head of our Industrial Department. We are naturally proud of our contribution to industry, backbone of the nation and the community. Joseph Warren, who is largely responsible for the growth of the S. D. Warren Co. is a graduate. Also there are the innumerable men and women who hold positions all along the line in the production of Warren paper. The entire Dana family graduated from our school. Westbrook High is proud of its graduates and vice versa. It has proven its value and strength by its record of successful men and women. It has made contributions to the nation and most necessarily to the community. With new opportunities opening in Westbrook we hope to have many more successful graduates. Remember success is finding your job in life and carrying it out to the best of your ability. WILLIAM C. CHRISTIAN, 'S S. 'Red Letter Year.s'L-Somethz'ng fDzferent!f In accordance with our theme, Looking Back on Westbrook Highf' the following Red Letter Events have been chosen from the BLUE AND WHITE yearbooks of the last Sl years. The errors, if any, are definitely not intentional. 1904 1905 1906 1908 1910 1912 1914 1915 -Junior Class edited first yearbook in June. It was a tremendous success. -Adopted point system but only 30 points for a diploma. -Miss Bartlett directed the first WY H. S. play- Rank Deception? There was a cast of six. -Girls' Physical Education or rather gymnastics was started by Miss Cor- nelia Warren. Work consisted of free-hand exercises, dumb-bells, club drills and bar-ball drills and, girls, how do you like our Physical Educa- tion class now? -Through the generosity of S. D. Warren and Co. a new course was added to the school curriculum. This was the Industrial Course which was originally for Freshman boys only. It is now one of the most important and popular courses in school. -W. H. S. won the interscholastic State championship in basketball this year. Of course rules were different then. The players were allowed to jump on each others' backs in order to get the ball away from each other. Wonder what would happen if they tried that now in basketball. The Senior Class started the popular tradition of a trip to Washington in this year also. -We acquired a new structure at W. H. S. known as the East wing. This part of the school was at first used for the commercial department. It is now the art room, music room and lab. -First commercial class in new wing. 1916-Tennis anyone! Yes, youire right. We went in for tennis that year. 1918 Somehow it didn't last long and we went back to our regular sports. Also, the Juniors laid down their pens and gave the school assembly a crack at publishing the yearbook. --Began the school library. 1919--Musical programs such as band and glee club were planned and started. 1920 Louis Don, graduate of 1917, was cited for bravery by Franklin Roose- velt. -Our most famous V. I. P. by the name of Hubert Prior Vallee, alias Rudy Vallee, graduated this year. He was outstanding, naturally, in music and dramatics. 1921-The much needed lunch counter Was introduced this year. The only drawback--tickets had to be purchased before you got food. 1922-Roy Robinson graduated from W. H. S. -- favorite pastime - reading Snappy Stories. His class was the last to go to Washington for over 25 years. Can you explain that, Mr. Robinson? 1923-Another popular faculty member graduated this year-Carl Bolstad 1924 Jensen. His pastime-looking dignified. -Ansel Sterling, our talented aft teacher, started his art class this year. It is now one of our most popular courses. The mill was closed down for a day this year so no one would miss the baseball game between Westbrook and Cheverus. Husky Aube pitched for W. H. S. after going to school at Cheverus. Incidentally, Westbrook won. 192 S-Lyman Woodbury, our silent bus driver, graduated this year with a pastime of taxi driver. We had a champion baseball team in 1925, win- ning every game as well as the Telegram League Championship. 1926-Miss Abbott joins the faculty as a history teacher. She is now head of the History Department. 1927-Hormidas Aube, the Westbrook chief of police, graduated this year. He was outstanding in athletics. We also Won the State Championship in basketball this year. 1928-Anthony Judge Brackett, now Superintendent of all Westbrook schools, graduated this year. Girls' field hockey had its start this year . 1929--Milton Philbrook became principal of W. H. S. this year. He held that position for 26 years. The depression took its toll at Westbrook High in teachers' pay but encouraged more students to stay in school. 1930-Compulsory Physical Education training was started this year. 193 2-The Speech Class organized the Little Theater Club this year. This took the place of a dramatic club but has since gone out of existence. 1934-We won the Telegram League Pennant for the eighth time this year, also, the Wilson Trophy and a trip to Boston for the team. 1936-W.
