CCORDING to Noah Webster, vic- tory is the gaining of the superi- ority in any struggleg a triumph. There is another way in which we may define victory. It is the Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion, Freedom from VV ant, Freedom from Fear. When all the peoples of the world are living in peace under the protection of these four freedoms, then. and then alone, is there a victory. XVe are living in a country where the freedom of speech is something just taken for granted. We read about the subju- gated peoples of Europe and how this privilege of speaking is denied them. There is sympathy in our hearts for them, and yet, I wonder if we realize that this freedom is one-fourth of the requirement for victory. Perhaps the most important of the freedoms is religion-if any one can be more important than another. If we are given freedom of religion, and if we have a religion, we can overcome many obsta- cles. A truly religious man always has freedom from fear, yea, even freedom from the fear of fear. VVe the people of the United States are in a position to do more than any other country to promote the freedom from want. Wfithout any real sacrificing, that is, to the point of starvation within our own country, we could make the United States the bread basket for the world. Indeed, the rest of the world has not asked this aid. But some means must be provided for feeding parts of Europe and Asia during the period of reconstruction, and who is in a better position to do this than we are? In fact, what other coun- try can do it? Thus the freedom from want becames a very significant one for us. Our last, the freedom from fear, in- cludes the three preceding ones and a bit more. VV e are pledged by our national inheritance to maintain no peacetime con- centration camps, no arbitrary courts, no dictators. At times we may be overcau- tious when our liberties are threatened - from within and without-but we are ever anxious when a real threat to our peaceful way of life arises as it did at Pearl Harbor. And our fear is not for us alone but - we are proud to say - for the whole world. Each of these four freedoms is indis- pensable, since each is essential for hap- piness, and happiness is OLII' goal. When we have attained this, then. the victory is won. Wfinston Churchill once said: You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: It is Victory, vic- tory at all costs, victory in spite of all ter- ror, victory, however long and hard the road may beg for without victory, there is no survival. - Helen jones. GAIN ING THE VICTORY VERYONE is talking these days of victory and the peace to follow. They talk of the terrible conditions that we have to put up with here on the home front. U Oh, I'm so afraid they are go- ing to cut down on the gas quota this time or K' If things get much worse, they won't even be giving us anything to eat. These are common complaints in cities and towns all over the nation. Some of the complainers ought to live in France or Germany itself to see what war really is. If you were in France during this war, you would get up at such a time in the morning. You would have a newspaper, yes, but there would be only what the Nazis want you to read. Then you would be trundled off to a war plant mak- 194-4- ing war machines for the German armies. You would work there until noon. Then you would rush down the street to the nearest bread shop to get a lunch. A big lunch!!! You'd get a slice of bread and a glass of muddy water. Then back to the factory immediately to work until you could hardly stand. You then would grab another A' lunch . Your food supply and money allotments are limitedg hence you have no worries about over-eating. Ah, then to a movie? Sure and what would you have? Musical, comedy, or drama? It makes no difference which you prefer because the Nazis always have some propaganda movies to show how their in- vincible armies are conquering the world. CThey do this by running the film from the Russian and other fronts backwardsl These are meant to lower the morale of the French people until they become harmless. But strangely enough the French people are ready, ready for the coming invasion. Most of the people in this country would fold up in about two weeks under the conditions mentioned. They are the ones who cannot go without something even when it goes for bettering the world for tomorrow. Let's not complain if some of our pleasures are taken from usg let's think of our boys fighting at the front, boys who might get that extra bullet or gallon of gas just in time to save his life. So let's tighten our belts and set- tle right down to the hardships of war - and look ahead to victory. - Philip Smiley. PRESERVING VICTORY AVE you ever caught a snowflake on your mittened hand and had the desire to keep the dainty piece of art? How quickly it melts to nothing. If we don't preserve our victory after we have acquired it, how quickly it will vanish. How much more valuable victory is than a small snowdrop and yet. are people thinking any more about preserving it than they are the latter? True. hrst we must achieve our victory, but let's look ahead to the daywhen we must set about to keep this victory of ours forever. Never again in twenty or thirty years will we be hit over the head and wake up dazed to find ourselves in the midst of a war. From now on our eyes will be open and our ears alert to all our global neigh- bors. Although we want to be on the best of terms with everyone, we won't believe that everyone is the best of friends with the U. S. A. and couldnt possibly be planning a surprise for us. VVe'll in- vestigate to find out what is going on on the other side of the world and then act for the best interests of what we proudly consider the best country in the world - America. How about the countries that keep pop- ping up every score of years or so to kill off our boys and break the hearts of those who love them? NVill they be allowed to do it again? Not if your vote and my vote can prevent it. And ca11 we prevent it? We can because this is America, where the newspaper boy can talk to the major a11d your son can become Presi- dent. This is America, 4' The land of the free and the home of the brave, and we, the youth of America. plan to keep it that way. - Pauline Hall. 1 9 44 MURIEL ARLENE BURRILL Avocation - Sports Course - Clursirul CLEO MAE COCHRAN Intended Vocation -- Beauty Culture Avocation - Writing letters C ourre -- H ame Economic: EAGLE 45 W Club 2, 3, 4: Home Economics Club 1, 2, 3, 45 Basketball 1, 2, 3, 45 Field Hockey 1, 2, 3, 45 Tennis 2.

Next he went to Patterson Field, Ohio QDaytonj, where he was assigned to a B-25. He left the States in Iuly, landed in Australia in August, and went into action in September. He was promoted to First Lieutenant in May, 1943. He was on an early morning reconnaissance and supply dropping mission when his plane crashed - August 31, 1943. Of his death the chaplain wrote: His death caused real and unusual concern here as he had won the friendship of every otlicer and man with whom he had come in contact. Lt. Col. Lawrence Tanberg Wrote: During the time Robert was in my squadron and the group, he was one of our most outstanding and dependable men. Not only from a combat angle, but from the extra things which he did to boost the morale of the men in the organization. Many a night we sat for hours while Robert played the piano in the Officers' Club. Whenever any responsibility was placed on his shoulders you knew it would be done and in the most eflicient manner. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Verne Violet, write: 'K The many, many letters we have received from known and unknown friends of his testify to the fact we have always known -that he loved people and was a friend to all. i' IIllllllIIlIlllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllIII 'lr IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII llllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII E PRO VICTORIA 5 E LEONARD NELSON EDWARDS E E snnnnnn, USAAF E E -C1.Ass OF 1941- E 5 CITATION E E This is to certify that SGT.

Because of the many changes in ranks and addresses, no attempt is made to give either item. However, provision has been made for the reader to place the ratings in pencil within the parentheses and then make the necessary changes to keep his list up to date. This list includes those who have attended the Academy at least a year and includes those who have been honorably discharged. Each branch of service is given in abbreviated form. In some instances, there was no complete verification possible, so all due apologies are offered for mistakes, and corrections and additions are solicited. Please send them to Harold M. Karkos, Wilton, Maine. As of last year, each one in service is entitled to a free copy of the yearbook. Send addresses to Harold M. Karkos.

Let my resting-place be under the snow I was once part of it-let me return. This hulk, inert, lifeless, will rest below But the spirit to higher realms will turn Back to Him who died for you and me That my soul and yours might ransomed be. - Iohn Randell. W, A. VVINTER CARNIVAL The day was not pleasant. The wind was not warm. The Carnival was held In spite of the storm. The crowd gathered around. The races were run. Several schools entered, Everyone had fun. Chet won with his snowshoes, Chet won with his skis. He helped win the trophy For W. A., if you please. The music sounded grand At the Carnival Ball, And Bettina was crowned The queen of them all. We won lots of money. We won lots of fame, That will help W. A. To keep its great name. -Crystal Bradford. WINTER The snow comes down all over the town, The smoke from the chimneys circlesg The sky is gray, it's a dreary day, And the freight train mournfully whistles. The chickadees hide in the snow-covered trees And the animals hunt for shelter. The automobiles splutter and squeal, In this cold, stormy, winter weather. -Dorris Williamson. A SNOWFLAKE A snowflake seems to me, to be The symbol of all purity, As it comes drifting gently down Upon the strife-stained earth, Into the streets of many a town Covering all the earthly turf. It seems as though it tries to hide The blood and tears of the land Under a blanket of snowy white, Under the Master's hand. No one knows from whence it comes Or where it goes when its work is o'erg ,Tis white, the color of all that's right, The symbol of freedom from shore to shore. --Priscilla Thomas. 1944 Sophomore CLASS OFFICERS President Elizabeth Trask Vice Prerident Francis Paling Secretary and Treasure: Colleen Sands Arline Hall Lester Coull Student Council Austin, Lorin Badger, Sally Black, Euleita Brown, Geraldine Bryant, Charles Bunker, Alice Chandler, Mary Chaney, Gilbert Coull, Lester Douglas, Caroline Dyke, Iacqueline Edwards, Philip Fiel, Beverly Fletcher, Clarence Frenchetti, Robert Hardy, Frank Hall, Arline Kingsbury, Edith Kittredge, Glendon Knowles, Carmen Landry, Laura Lloyd, Esther Macomber, Phyllis Miller, Alton Mitchell, Patricia Mooar, Donalene Noyes, Wilfred Orcutt, Margaret Paling, Francis Perkins, Shirley Quirrion, Mrytle Reed, Anita Sands, Colleen Smith, Constance Swett, Carlton Trask, Elizabeth Trask, Hazel Turner, Ioyce VVelch, Florence Wells, Constance Williams, Evelyn Wing, Chester VVood, Iacqueline Young, Arline Macomber, Norman MY FIRST IMPRESSION OF W, A. REMEMBER that very Hrst day when green little me ventured into the great halls of Wilton Academy. My heart jumped into my throat, goosepimples burst all over me, and per- spiration poured out. Scared was no word for it: I was petrified. There was one consolation, Department at least that's what everyone said, they couldn't any more than throw you out. They started in good and heavy by giving us our I. Q. If you had asked me what day of the week it was I couldnlt have told. I could scarcely control the pencil long enough to write my name. What a time to Find out how much I knew! Teachers here, teachers there, rooms upstairs, rooms downstairs, oh, oh, what a headache I hadl As the day progressed I decided I was just plain dumb. Well, the freshman year was pretty bad. I didn't dare move unless someone told me to and believe me I really had to study. Everyone was always telling me that the high school days would be the best years of my life but I always laughed about that. Conlidentially, I like school a little better but I am still waiting for that day when I'1l be a Senior walking out the door with a diploma in my hand. - Arline Hall. TO AN AIRPLANE A plane one summer afternoon, Flew by on silver wing, Somewhat like a bird Is this highly polished thing. It glistens in the sunlight And it glows by light of day, And we often wonder why Itls motor sounds so gay. But, I guess, if we were this monster With such a task in hand, We would, also, sound quite happy In that world above the land. - Elizabeth Trask. 31 1944 IN MEMORIAM LINWOOD WAYNE ROBINSON 1946 BORN NOVEMBER 16, 1928-DIED IANUARY 20, 1944 Participating in ice hockey as his best loved sport, he was an active member of Wilton Academy's student body. He was a member of the band, a Future Farmer, a school bank director and secretary of his class in its freshman year. He was a member of the Bean's Corner Baptist Church. Linnie will be greatly missed by his many friends.

She speaks so soft and lovely, This little girl so mild. Her Irish eyes they strike the heart Of all: man, woman, and child. The woods and lakes and land below, The beauty of the skies, Ohl nothing ever can compare With those beautiful Irish eyes. - Glenys Weeks. CATS ARE SMART One day as I was sitting in the kitchen read- ing a book, I noticed my favorite cat, Blackie, sitting beside a can of water that I had set on the Hoor, contentedly washing her face. Under the stove was one of her kittens, half asleep, but watching the old cat slyly as if she would jump at her any minute. Blackie, paying no attention to the kitten, kept looking at the can of water. She must have been thirsty too, because pretty soon she tried to put her head in the can and take a drink of water. She soon decided, however, that this could not be accomplished. Then all at once she dipped her paw into the can. She kept doing this until she got all she wanted. Then she got up and went outside. While all this had been going on the kitten under the stove had been watching her. It now got up and went over where the water was and drank its Fill the same as the old cat had done. Thus, the kitten had a drink of water, too. Some say cats arenlt smart, but just to be on the safe side never leave a bottle of milk where cats can see it. - Dorothy Tilton. 1944- SPRING Spring is a season of activity as far as nature is concerned. The crows are back. There are birds coming and birds going. The bear has to get his food because his winter supply has run out. You see the chipmunks and smell the skunks. Everything is doing something. The birds must build nests to prepare for their young. The bear must get food for its cubs. All of them have something to do. If they slacken in their duties it may cost the life of a young one. We could take an example from this and do our school work efliciently. It may not be what you call enjoyment, but the rank card next Iune will pay off. -Vance VVells, Ir. A WINTER IN MAINE A winter in Maine ls sure nothing like Spaing With ski jumps and skating And boys who like datingg There's nothing like a winter in Maine. A winter in Maine With hearts beating again, And days when it's snowing, The old wind is sure blowingg Therels nothing like a winter in Maine. A lovely Winter day in Maine With snow falling softly against the pane. Our hearts are all so gloriously gay. We see boys shoveling walks all day. I say therels nothing like a winter in Maine. -Glennys Buker. Left lo right: V. Wells Ir., L. Coull, A. Hall, F. Farrington, H. Iones, Sec., R. Wells, Pres., S. Wells, P. Hall, M. Orff, V. Franchetti THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council has proved to be an unusually active group this year. Besides issuing the annual School Ordi- nances, it has undertaken two visitation trips, one to Winthrop High School, Cony High School, and Gardiner High School, and the other to the high schools of Norway, South Paris, and Mexico. The Council has efficiently carried out its usual duties of voting on lettermen and freshman numeral winners in the various sports as well as the winners of merit letters. Occasional social activi- ties have provided enjoyment for the members. 1944 Spring 1943 All sports at VVilton Academy were re- stricted as the school year drew to a close. The following were the limited schedules: BASEBALL W. A. U Livermore Falls lS VV. A. l2 at Mexico 17 W. A. l Mexico 21 W. A. 4 Kcnts Hill 24 W. A. 4 Strong 7 VV. A. 12 at Livermore Falls 16 W.

Trask gathering 17' points. TENNIS The girls played no outside matches, confining their play to practice contests among themselves. The boys sandwiched one match be- tween track events at Gould Academy, losing 5-2. Knowles, Fitzpatric, Briggs, G. Melcher, and Bleakney played without 35 Sports any practice.

The football schedule did not end as well as was expected, but the Eagles did achieve one victory: splendid teamwork. The games with Madison, Gardiner, and Rumford, particularly, proved that the almost wholly green team starting the season was capable when teamwork showed itself.

It has also been enjoyable to the second team and to the new students who practiced faithfully under Miss York during the season. Because of limitations on gasoline and the elimination of the sport in many neighboring schools, the W. A. team did not play many games, but the girls proved their loyalty and enthusiasm through a long practice season. The season opened with the Kents Hill girls losing at Wilton by a 5 to 0 score. The good spirit of other seasons was maintained when the girls fromithe two squads met after the game for refresh- ments of sweet cider and sandwiches, fol- lowed by dancing until the visitors had to leave. On November Bird, a small squad made the trip to Kents Hill for a return game. 37 VVilton won 6-1, and the Kents Hill girls proved themselves worthy hostesses with cocoa and sandwiches and good cheer. A game with Deering at VVilton was scheduled, postponed several times, and finally cancelled because of the weather. LETTERGIRLS M. Burrill D. Williamson C. Cochran I.. Earle A. Harnden C. Knowles B.

The Eagles were disappointed when, after winning the County Tournament, they were not chosen for State Tourna- ment play. However, they went ahead with several games as an independent team. After defeating Vlfinthrop and the Auburn Bluejackets in the Wilton Com- munity Tournament, they met the Wil- ton Town Team in the finals. Leading 22-14 at half-time, they tired however in the last quarter and placed second, win- ning the silver trophy. Dyke and Lothrop made the all-tournament team. All in all, basketball at VVilton is rid- ing high and, in spite of the gloomy out- look now, should continue through next year in spite of the loss by graduation of VVel1s, Lothrop, Smiley, and Dyke, the latter setting a State scoring record for the season. i 38 THE LETTERMEN R Wells I.

Chester NVing proved outstanding as he did a week later when he led his team to another victory, scoring four Hrsts to de- feat Kents Hill, Farmington, Jay, and Vlfinthrop.

It was voted that the Chairman of the Execu- tive Committee be sent a reminder of the meet- ing by March 1 and that tentative plans for the annual meeting be made in time to have them printed in the EAGLE, which is the school book published each year. It was also voted to pur- chase a service Flag for the school, and that a committee of three be appointed to make the purchase. Harold Karkos, Marion Russell and Lizzie Bass were elected to serve as such. It was voted that members be reminded to pay their dues to help finance the purchase of the Hag and if sufficient funds were still lacking that some of the alumni be contacted for con- tributions for the same.

IN IXIEMORIAM AUDUBON L. HARDY ON His 90TH BIRTHDAY Dec. ll, 1942 Nearly a year after the picture above was taken, a notice appeared in an Amherst, Mass., newspaper announcing the death of Mr. Hardy, one of the srnall group of boys and girls who 1944 entered Wilton Academy when it first opened in August, 1867. Until recent years Mr, Hardy, known as Aud in his youth, occasionally visited Wilton, espe- cially to see again the old home place where he was born, now known as the Bert McKeen farm on the East Wilton road. No one can give us a truer account of his earlier years than Mr. Hardy himself, who in 1938 sent the following as the opening para- graph about himself: Born in Wilton Dec. 11, 1852. Attended Academy when it first opened in 1867. E. H. Cook, Prin. Also un- der the principalship of Dr. Cobb and DfT. Timberlake. Taught in different towns in the state. Finished preparation for college at the Classical Institute in Waterville. Was gradu- ated from Amherst College in 1879. Later re- ceived honorary degree of A.M. Principal of Randolph, Vt., high school four years, in St. Iohnsbury QVLQ Academy 15 years, where I had Calvin Coolidge as a pupilfl Mr. Hardy was elected superintendent of schools in Amherst, Mass., in 1898 and re- mained in that position until his retirement in 1915. The Amherst Record for Iune 23, 1937, car- ried the following resolution: 'K Audubon L. Hardy was graduated from Amherst College in the class of 1879. Born in 1852 and now in his eighty-fifth year, he was first elected an In- spector of Election in 1902. Since then he has served continuously in that capacity, having been elected chairman of the Inspectors of Elec- tion in 1903, to the present date. His continu- ous service to the college, over a period of thirty- Five years, now comes to an end at his own request. The commencement meeting of the Society of the alumni here assembled takes this oppor- tunity to express to him its admiration, respect and gratitude for his long and distinguished service to Amherst College, and as a token of its appreciation now appoints him its only Hon- orary Inspector of Election for the remainder of his life? Mr. Hardy kept up his correspondence with friends in Wilton until shortly before his death. In one letter he says: Our life moves on pleas- antly in this lovely college town where we have lived for forty years ..... Yes, Wilton is my native town but I have difficulty to prove it for there is no record of the fact in the town clerkls office. In another, written on August 18, 1943, he adds: Mrs. Hardy and I are still in the ring but we don't fight the battle of life with vigor and agility-but we try to keep cheerful and useful and are thankful we can keep going and are able to welcome our children and grand- children to the homesteadf, The children referred to are four sons, Wilton A. of Alton, Illinois, Paul W. of New York City, Robert A. of Philadelphia, and Donald E. in Western Africa with the General Motors Company, all of whom served in the first World War. Ever mindful of the Academy, Mr. Hardy annually sent his greetings to the Alumni Asso- ciation. It is with reluctance that a number of Wilton friends look to the next meeting in August, knowing that the familiar friendly greeting from Aud will be missing. MARY EATON NEWPORT Mary Emma Eaton was born in Wilton, Dec. 29, 1862, where she spent her girlhood and re- ceived her early education. Graduating from Wilton Academy in the class of 1881, which was the first class to receive diplomas, she continued her education at Farmington Normal School and Smith College. Following her graduation from Smith, she taught in Massachusetts and Vermont before returning to Wilton Academy where she served as instructor and dean of girls for nearly a score of years. After a lapse of two years, while tak- ing advance courses at Smith, she returned to the Academy faculty until her marraige to Rev. Frederick Newport on August 22, 1920. A year previous to her marriage Mrs. New- port had been elected librarian of the Goodspeed Memorial Library, a position which she Filled with conspicuous fidelity and elliciency for nineteen years. A teacher, a librarian, a Christian lady- these are applicable to Mary Eaton Newport in their fullest measure. DR. OTHO LEE DASCOMBE A native of Wilton, Dr. Otho Lee Dascombe, 63, former senior physician at the Waltham Hos- pital, died at the hospital on Sept. 26, 1943. An Academy alumnus, Dr. Dascombe was a graduate of Bowdoin College and Iohns Hop- kins University before entering upon a long and successful career. 1944 MILFRED 1.' BUKER A graduate of Colby College, Milfred 1. Buker, 60, taught one year at Wilton Academy before going to New Bedford High School where he remained until his retirement in Iune of 1943, made necessary by ill health. He died on September 21, 1943, at his home in Weld. CLASS OF 1943 Glenn Adams-farming. Address: Dryden, Maine. Richard Baker S 1lC fARMj-Address: R8- W3 USNATTC, Iacksonville, Florida. Pvt.
