NVhen we say them, do we grasp the true significance of their meaning? In a lit- tle while we shall pass through its doors for the last time as loyal W. A. students. We will go on to higher realms of edu- cation, but when we come back to our home town we shall still be interested in the activities of our Alma Materf, VVilton Academy is our heritage. Through her facilities, made possible by her loyal backers, we have been nurtured and fed on the fundamentals of educa- tion upon which--if we have enough ambition and endeavor - we can build a strong, substantial education that will assist us during the most perplexing and the most joyous circumstances of life. We cannot expect our heritage to re- main the same forever because as time progresses, new advancements and op- portunities will be made available, which will make it a better school for future students. VVhenever we return to visit at VV. A. we may feel that we are visiting a strange wonderland because of the new improve- ments both in the building and the intro- duction of new courses. However, I am sure the same loyal VV. A. spirit will pre- vail to make it a heritage of which we may well be proud. What then is the true meaning of NVil- ton Academy? It is first of all our heri- tage, and through it we have gained a deeper understanding of the mysteries of life. It is loyalty, fidelity, integrity, and the essentials that will make the youth of today the adults of tomorrow. - Sara Clark '41 A NEW VVILTON ACADEMY HERE are several ways to make a new Wilton Academy and in the past ten years a new Academy in subjects has been progressing. Wilton Academy began as a preparatory school for college, teaching only the classical and scientific courses necessary for college. Even within ten years new subjects have been started to deal with the new situations. Some of the newly introduced courses are mechanical drawing, Spanish and in- dustrial geography. The outbreak of the war stressed the need for a year of Aero- nautics to be taught. But there are more courses that would fit into the new Acad- emy. Many people have wanted a com- mercial course, teaching typing, short- hand, bookkeeping, and different items necessary for young people planning to enter into typing and secretarial work or business. This course would save many from having to take a year at business school. Also a more extensive man- ual training course would be good, this would offer a training in machines and engines. Another way of improving lVilton Academy would be by rebuilding, so that some of the older rooms would be better. This has been started by the building of the annex. A new special room for mechanical drawing would be included with fluorescent lights and special desks. More showers would he welcomed by W. A. athletes, too. Perhaps in the future we will see a greater change, one that will dissolve the individual Franklin County schools and condense them into one localized, modern school. This school would have accom- 5 . 1 1945t' modations that one town alone could not provide, such as advanced athletic equip- ment, a big gym, swimming pool, an in- door place to be used for outdoor sports when weather prevents it outdoors, and offering courses impossible in any one small school. - Stewart Bradeen '45. WHY NOT A HISTORY OF WILTON ACADEMY VERY person, thing, or place has a history, but only a few schools have their history written in book form. Almost everyone likes to read a history of some particular thing that he is inter- ested in, and surely everyone is interested in the school from which he is graduated. Wilton Academy has a history cover- ing about four score years. There would be a lot of material which could be easily obtained from older members of the alumni. Also for the past twenty years or so the annual yearbook of the senior class contains real history material. Of course it would have to be condensed in many parts as the scores of the athletic games wouldn't be of particular interest except to settle an argument. Today many people would be inter- ested to read about the development of the school, both in view of the increase in number of students and the additions made to our buildings. Through the years our courses and facilities for pro- moting such courses have been improved. We only take notice of the improvement at the present time and forget the others. People who have graduated from Wil- ton Academy many years ago and moved away would be especially interested in a history. Service men coming back are very much interested in the changes made dur- ing their three or four years' absence. If a history could be written, almost any graduate has some material on inci- dents that took place while he was attend- ing. A history should cover almost every phase of the school which would interest the people. Although few other schools have a published history, we feel our rich tradi- tion warrants one. - Flossie Harnden '45. I -i .

This sport is one of the most common and yet it is popular. Every day thousands of dol- lars are spent on Hshing tackle, clothes, and traveling expenses. It is divided into many fields. There are fly-fishermen, plug-casting, and live bait fishermen. All of these types stand Firmly in the field and say that the others are outcasts, foreigners and xxxxxxxxxx. As time is brief I will not elaborate on any one kind. Fishing does many things for a man. It takes him back to nature, gives him an appetite, and gets him away from his wife. This last statement is often not true, however, because now the little woman usually goes along, too. One thing always remains true. While men are mep and there are Hsh, there will always be a sport called fishing. T -A. Brooks ,45. TO THE BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC Over mountains, over rivers, over seas and oceans too, Our soldiers and our sailors have fought for me and you, To show the Ia s and Germans what we are . P going to do. Our troops go marching on. Chorus: Glory, Glory, Hallelujah! Glory, Glory, Hallelujah! Glory, Glory, Hallelujah! Our troops are marching on. From Pacific to the Arctic and all places 'neath the sun They have found they can not beat us with a tank or ship or gun. And you bet there will be quite a fight before our side has won, And our troops come marching home. When instead of fighting battleships the liners sail the sea, And our soldiers and our sailors have set the world a-free, We have right to speak of fairness, justice, truth and liberty. And that God is marching on. -Stewart Bradeen '45. THE MOUNTAIN Do you know the mountains? Do you really appreciate them other than in saying, Isn't that mountain pretty? This phrase, heard so many times in pre-war days when all one had to do to see a beautiful view, was to climb into his automobile and drive to a vantage point on some hilly road, is such a vast understatement that it almost hurts me. May I try to describe just one mountain? I know that my attempt will be inadequate, for words cannot describe the majestic beauty of a mountain. This one is small as mountains go, but in its immediate region it is the tallest, so it really wears a rather important and smug ex- pression. But why shouldn't it be conceited? It gazes down on the valleys that it waters, and feels content, for where are more peaceful val- leys than these which cluster around its feet? And as for raiment--this lord of the land is clothed in all colors. Never need it wear the same garment twice, or if so, a cloud scattered here or there relieves the monotony and same- ness. In the summer from a distance, it appears to be a hazy blue, but on closer examination it proves to be of the customary green. But don't let me mislead you. This mountain's green is not the same as any other's. It has a light green scar up its side-the ravages of man-and around its top it wears a collar of evergreen which lumbermen call black growth and which lends a rather somber attitude to the whole mountain's appearance. f But across the top and trickling down over one side is my mountain's greatest pride. A vein of white quartz shines through its grey granite like a white feather drooping from the crown of a grey hat. Of this the mountain is especially proud and on this strip nothing grows 1945 to dim its brightness. Always this white ban- ner is bare. Elsewhere it is another story. Blueberries and tiny mountain cranberries nestle in the crevices on backgrounds of moss-like jewels in green velvet cases, and the mountain is wealthy in these gems. Small hrs and birches cling around its top above the regular timber-line and relieve the bareness of the ledges. Tiny birds twittering in the trees testify to the wild life which makes its home on the mountain. And this is only the mountain in summer. In the fall it is a Fiery being with its red, and yellow, and orange clothes which all too soon fade and die. And now the mountain shows the cruel and ruthless side of its character. In winter it dons blue and silver ice and snow and stares coldly down upon the valley which it pampered and protected in the summer. Now it gathers the storm clouds about its head and sends them hurtling down upon the defenseless valley. All winter it stands cold and aloof and then one day the icy, foreboding glare leaves, and it seems a little dreamy again. Spring has come. The soft new leaves coming out give it a deli- cate green which belies the cold wind sweeping over its back and down on the valley below. Soon the old mountain is looking down with a benevolent satisfaction on its valleys below which are once more peaceful and calm. Now do you know my mountain? Have I been able to show you a small part of the love that I have for it? Can you see it, as I do-a living thing with all its moods? I hope so. -Carolyn Rafter '45. A CHILDHOOD EVENT THAT LINGERS One of the outstanding, memorable events of my childhood happened when I was about 5 years old, at my New Hampshire home, tucked away at the foot of Green Mountain. My old dog, Laddie, was lying fast asleep near the dining-room door. I was busily play- ing at my little table with my smaller sister and a little friend. One of my most treasured toys lay on the kitchen table near my mother. In my hurry to recapture it, I accidentally stepped on one paw of my beloved pet. Of course, this accidental movement molested his peaceful sleep and he jumped at me quickly and bit me near my right eye. My mother immediately sprang to my rescue and hurriedly put Laddie outdoors. One of Mother's most intimate friends aided her by chasing my poor Laddie around and around the house. Finally, after they were completely tired out they returned to Find out how badly I had been bitten. I can't clearly recall my reac- tion to the excitement, but I know my mother sent someone to telephone both the doctor and my dad. After what seemed like centuries to my mother, my favorite doctor arrived and boosted me on his knee and generously applied mercuro- chrome to the wound. Mother nervously awaited the decision of the doctor and was finally reassured that it was only a minor wound. The doctor told her not to kill my faithful old pal until we were absolutely cer- tain he had rabies. After the doctor's interview was over and my father had arrived, I immediately went to him for consolation and he comforted me in his usual, sweet manner. After his reassurance I felt almost like myself again, but I was kept quiet for the remainder of the day. Laddie was once again admitted to our fam- ily circle and was given a very generous supper. He was kept under careful observation for many days, but he still remained as harmless as before the accident. My Laddie spent many more happy days with us, but now his old rug that he slept on so many, many times lies unused in some unseen corner of a closetg his dish no longer sits near the stove: his bark no longer greets me when I come home, his scratch at the door is no longer answered, for Laddie has gone to that heaven beyond the skies. Although his presence no longer cheers our lives, the memory of him will never leave me, nor will the scar where he so slightly bit me ever completely fade away. -Sara B.

Several night meet- ings have been held. The 1945 School Ordi- nances were presented and Court cases were dis- cussed. The new members elected from the various classes are: Priscilla Thomas ,45, Eliza- beth Trask '46, Ioan Scott '47, Leatrice Oakes '48 GIRLS' W CLUB The Girls' W Club was organized this year with the following officers: President ,,...,.. Dorris Williamson V ire President .,....... Lorna Earle Secretary ,......... Evelyn Ellsworth Treasurer ........... Barbara Hobbs The Club has been very active with several new members being added. They were very worthily initiated and gave a fine demonstra- tion to the student body. They have all done a swell job of wearing their WH insignias on W Day. BOYS' W CLUB The Boys' NN Club sprang into action this year with full strength after their one year's lapse. The class ofiicers were: President .........., Arnold Brooks Vice President ..,. Sheldon Fitzpatric Serrelary-Treasurer .. . Kenneth Cook .-letivily Committee .... Lester Coull Robert Lothrop The boys have sponsored a dance to raise money to buy jackets for the members. They have done a grand job and let's keep up the good work next year. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Home Ee Club has always been an active organization and this year was certainly no exception. Carolyn Rafter was elected President and has done a very good job. Sev- eral Freshmen and upperclassmen were very nobly initiated into the Club. The girls served the Carnival dinner and also sent Christmas cards to the boys in the service. Several socials have been enjoyed by all. A great deal of credit is due Miss Macomber for her assistance in making the Club a success. FUTURE FARMER'S CLUB The Future Farmer's Club, under the super- vision of our new Agricultural teacher, Mr. Welch, had a very successful year. A Father and Son banquet was held as well as some very entertaining socials. The officers have all ful- filled their duties and everyone has worked to- gether to make it the best club possible. SCHOOL BANK The School Bank, under the leadership of Harlon Harnden, was carried on in a similar fashion as in previous years. Wednesday was set aside as Stamp and Bond Day. At different times this day was given over to such organiza- tions as the March of Dimes and the Red Cross. This is a very worthwhile investment and Uncle Sam needs all the dimes we can afford to win the war. Let's keep up the work until the war is done. V PUBLIC SPEAKING Public Speaking was in charge of Miss Geral- dine Lothrop this year. The Iunior Prize Speaking Contest was held on April 12th and the Blanchard Contest on May llth. We have talent both in the dramatic and humorous Fields and a great deal of credit goes to the coach as well as all students who participated. BAND The band had another very successful year under the direction of Mr. Otho Knowles. It has increased to a total of 50 members. The annual band drive, led by Carlton Swett, went over the top. The band concert, held on May 18th, was the golden climax of the year. The band played at the Franklin County Tourna- ment as well as at football games. They played i 1945 for the American Legion on Memorial Day. Truly our band deserves a lot of credit and we should be proud of it. ORCHESTRA The orchestra had one of its most successful years under Mr. Knowles. They furnished the music at the Senior play. The Eaglonians have practiced faithfully during the year although they have not played publicly this year. CHAPELS Chapeltime is one of the highlights at W. A. Mr. Earle always has something interesting to say Qsuch as thevweekly aftersession lists?j, and then for a special treat we have faculty and stu- dent chapels. The entire faculty has had at least one chapel during the year. The follow- ing students have also entertained the student body: Carolyn Rafter, Flossie Harnden, Ken- neth Cook, Beverly Hines, Lillian Tobin and Sara Clark. Priscilla Thomas and Frances Farrington have very capably led the singing. ASSEMBLIES The Assemblies, under the leadership of Dor- ris VVilliamson and Carolyn Rafter with the assistance of Miss York, have been divided into several different fields. Awards in basketball, football, field hockey, ice hockey, winter sports, and track have been awarded at various times throughout the year. Several Cheering Assem- blies under the direction of the Cheerleaders have been enjoyed. The president of our Stu- dent Council led us in an open forum. Mr. Karkos showed us various films which did not work out too successfully due to the poor light- ing system. Mr. Lewis gave a very interesting talk on World Wide Prayer Day. TRAFFIC SQUAD The traffic squad was on the sharp lookout this year under the supervision of Kenneth Cook as chief. All disobedient students were punished by demerit slips. CHORUS AND GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The Chorus and Girls' Glee Club, under the leadership of Mrs. Leah Petersen, were awarded for their diligent rehearsals by the annual con- 20 cert held on May 9th. Mrs. Petersen deserves a lot of credit for her work to make the concert a success. VICTORY CORPS Evelyn Ellsworth headed the Victory Corps this year and was aided by her class representa- tives. The most important part of their work was the planning of the work program during the harvest season. SOCIAL COMMITTEE The Social Committee with Norman Macom- ber as chairman has done a very good job. They planned the Freshman Reception, school socials, and the Varsity Hop. They also ar- ranged the schedule for the noon recreation. EAGLET The Eaglet-board, under the direction of fac- ulty manager, Miss Bailey, and Editor-in-Chief Barbara Hobbs, has done a very good job. I'm sure we all appreciate the work of the entire staff to give us our weekly newspaper. SCHOOL PLAYS The Senior play, Almost Eighteen, was presented on May Sth. It was a comedy in three acts and was a great success. The cast consisted of: Eddie Barry . , . Mr. Barry . . . Mrs. Barry .... Beatrice Barry . Uncle George .. Mrs. Granville .

I try one field, then others- The vicissitudes are great. I stumble over rocks and moss, My courage does not break. About me there is happiness Hidden all about, Maybe it can't come to me But I can hunt it out. There is blindness all about me, I cannot see but right. ' Through portholes in the darkness I can see my hopes of light. I follow through the pathway O'er the trodden sod And find my hopes await me there In the blessed hand of God. -Hazel Trask '46. EXCERPT FROM BUSHY'S DIARY fApologies to Pepysl Ian. 30, 1945. Up betimes, and didst fall over little brown dog which being an altogether bad sign am tempted to go back to bed. My wife did arise before and build a Ere and cooked for me one set of spare ribs fbadly burnedj which I didst carefully avoid. My good friend, Sweetbush, didst call for me and we did sojourn to the town drugstore where we encountered numerous other gentlemen of our social standing, among them the noteworthy Lopey Dopington, the town clerk. I didst get into an argument with several and being al- most noon didst use this as an excuse to remove myself from the argument which I did see I was losing. I journeyed home to a dinner of scorched potatoes and meat with gravy and other articles too numerous to mention for which I am thankful. After dinner another friend, Dudley Dur- reliber, did call and we did go a-Fishing. At the close of this uneventful afternoon I find my- self with naught but one small trout and one large, old one of which my good wife did fry and eat and did leave the other to me. This evening I did have the good fortune to see a play enacted by Sir Abbott and Sir Cos- tello, which being a comedy I did laugh right heartily. After submitting this entry I find myself ex- ceedingly fatigued and so, betimes, to bed. -Philip Edwards '46. MY MOST UNFORGETABLE CHARACTER Good morning, boys and girls! How are you this fine morning? This cheery greeting meant that our local minister had arrived for 1945 our weekly Bible class. We always looked for- ward, with pleasure, to the arrival of this fine man. His glowing word pictures made Bible characters come alive before our very eyes. With a touch of kindly humor he patiently answered all of our questions. . The Rev. Mr. W. was always welcome in our homes as well as at school. He never failed to bring comfort and healing to the sick or shut in. When tragedy came to us, as it comes to all, he was always there to ease the sorrow. His personal life exemplified the same prin- ciples which he preached from the pulpit. This was brought out more fully by his courageous attitude when his son, along with several other boys, was killed in a terrible accident. He did not hide away to nurse his sorrow in private but went about his duties with his usual cheery smile. When he left our town for another parish, this elderly, white-haired man, with his im- maculate appearance, left behind a gap which others have found it hard to fill. -Geraldine Brown '46. A CHILDHOOD INCIDENT THAT LINGERS With the coming of fall come the thoughts of apple picking and the pressing of apples for cider. Delightful memories of that first rosy apple and that sweet flavor of cider come to us but to me the memories are anything but pleasant. VVhen I was knee high to a grasshopper my father had picked up a cart load of apples to take to the cider mill. All of us wanted the thrill of riding in the cart behind the horses and the extra excitement of going to the only oper- ating mill in town. Of course, we used to have a couple of sawmills, but the only business that could survive in East Dixfield was the cider making process. Even that has collapsed now much to the dislike of some of our decreasing population. There we sat, my two sisters, my brother and I, on top of the bags of apples, waving at every playmate we saw with the air of a king with our noses a trifle in the air because we were allowed to go to the mill. The sturdy work horses even seemed to prance a little stylishly down the main street. The mill is situated on the edge of a steep bank that drops off about twenty feet. The horses had to turn around and back up to the door to unload. That trip the horses would have to lose their footing and with frightened screams we went over the steep bank. We landed on the bottom, apples and cart next, and horses tumbling after. We were not quite so bad oil as Humpty-Dumpty because after finally being uncovered we were' nearly all to- gether. So this explains why the sight, the smell or the seeing of sweet cider makes my teeth chatter with fright. -Arline Hall '46. A DAY AT SCHOOL Feb. 1, 1945. Did enjoy a good breakfast before walking to school this day. Orchestra practiced this morning giving me more time to study fand I needed itll. Spent two periods in Physics class experi- menting with electricity. It was time well en- joyed. Donned snowshoes and helped pack snow for winter carnival ski jump. To school again for lunch and classes fand those hot-dogs were goodlj. Went to student chapel and classes in history, agriculture and English. Test in English today. After school went with friends to the store for a while. Purchased an ice cream and left for home. Got a ride in a truck going my way fall of the way home, tool. I departed from home with my friend Herbert and went to a neighhor's house to get his sled. From there home and did some reading, chores, ate supper, fthat young bull had some good steak in himl, studied and then to bed and not to the school basketball games. -Wilfred Noyes '46. 19454 Sophomore Department CLASS OFFICERS Pl'l'5I'dC'l1f .A.,.,.,,.. .......

Young, Shirley A POST-MORTEM OF MIDYEARS IDYEARS have come and gone. I bc- lieve no one is sorry to see them de- part. Even the brightest pupils probably ap- proached them with a certain amount of dread. Midyears were an arrogant bunch of fellows. Thev were determined to get us all down, and make us look silly from the start. At first I thought it was my fault, but most of the others said the same things about them, too. Finally these boys,' declared they would take us all on and lick the bunch of us. We laughed, of course, but felt a little apprehensive. As the zero hour drew near, I made up my mind not to cram as I had done in the past. Such a method could only result in confusion and utter defeat. Others also assured me they would try to use their heads and keep cool. Finally D-Day came. All of us were gath- 'ered together in the main room to greet these fellows. At first, they started easy on usg then grew more bold. They plied us with all sorts of questions. Were they intending to muddle us? I, for one, remembered to let my past ex- periences in school guide me. I know I got in a few good punches every time one dared to raise his head. The other pupils were Fighting gallantly too. In the end the exams were com- pletely tied up in a knot. As is the case in such circumstances, we were called before the Board of Inquest. It was nec- essary to tell us what we knew about the fate of midyears. Each pupil had a post-mortem of his papers. We admitted that they were good questions and they had served their purpose well. So why this ill-deserved glee that they were no more? It must be a sad thing to die and have no one regret the passing. -Vivian Bryant '47. SPEAK TRUE, LIVE PURE, RIGHT WRONG Truth is one of the greatest virtues in this world. In the days of King Arthur a man was regarded as worthless if he wasn't honest. The same is. true of our business firms today. Hon- esty and integrity in our social life is also very essential. Always tell the truth and you will be trusted and respected by everyone. Living pure is something quite unusual. Drinking and smoking have entered many American homes, just as evil entered Arthur's palace. Even young children and teen age boys and girls have taken up these deplorable habits. War hysteria has much to do with it, but home conditions have considerably more. Righting these wrongs is a big job, but it can and must be done. A great deal could be ac- complished through social organizations for young people sponsored by capable leaders of good standing. Iuvenile Delinquency has be- come a by-word. Understanding adults are really going all-out to remedy this throughout the country. If everyone followed Gareth's motto, Speak True, Live Pure, Right Wrong, this world would be a much finer one in which to live. --Marie Brougham '-I7. 1945 I EMILY'S VACATION IN GUATEMALA The following conversation takes place be- tween two girls, Emily and loan. Emily has just returned from a vacation in Guatemala. Oh! Emily, do tell me all about Guate- mala. VVhere did you go? What did you do? VVhat did you see? Are the people nice? XVhat is the weather like? Ioan had to stop for lack of breath. Emily smiled and said, Hold on there, Ioan. One question at a time, please. All right, Ioan replied, tell me something about the geography of Guatemala. VVell, to begin with,', started Emily, it is a very small country, not much larger than Ohio. Guatemala contains twenty-four vol- canoes and the most beautiful lake that I have ever seen. What is the name of the lake? asked Ioan. Atitlon, replied Emily. Ioan asked another question, Did you go swimming in Atitlon? 'I .Yes, replied Emily, both swimming and canoeing. Now tell me about Guatemala City,,' smiled loan. To me, started Emily, Guatemala City was a great shock. I expected it to be an over- grown mountain village. Instead, it is an up- to-date, spick-and-span city. Both the streets and avenues are paved and polished. The streets do not have names, but numbers. The traflic is directed by a tiny, toy, mechanical policeman. For the most part, the buildings and shops are low. This is because of the earth- quakes. To me, Guatemala was paradise. It certainly must have been, said Ioan with a far-away look in her eyes. -Rosalthe Lothrop '47, 31 IMPORTANCE OF BUYING WAR STAMPS AND BONDS My friend and I were having a friendly talk one day. We started to discuss the subject of buying bonds and stamps in war time. My friend, Bill said, are you buying any bonds and stamps? Yes, I buy stamps every Wednesday. Do you buy them? No, I don't buy stamps because I do not think it is necessary and it doesnlt help us out any. What! You don't think it is necessary to buy bonds and stamps? What do you think the armed forces would do if it wasn't for our buy- ing bonds and stamps? They wouldn't have planes to use in bombing our enemies. They wouldn't have transportation trucks, ammuni- tion, tanks, and artillery to fight with. I still don't see how it would be helping us out any. It will help you out in ten years by becom- ing one-third more than what you paid for it. You can use the money that you receive from the bonds after the war for things that you need. It will also help win the war more quickly. A I never thought of it that way before. That's the matter with a lot of Americans today, they don't realize how much our boys need equipment to win the war. With the money that we put into bonds and stamps we can help win the war, too. I think that all patriotic Americans should buy at least a ten cent stamp each week. I hope you and every- body will buy bonds and stamps from now on. I'm on my way to buy a bond and some stamps, and I hope every other American will do the same. , -Raymond Brooks '47. H 1945 Freshman Department CLASS OFFICERS President ..........,....,,..

The whale swam around in the lake -during the day, and slept in the guests' bed- room in the house at night. This whale was a hero. Several times he had 'saved people from drowning by drinking the lake dry. I-Ie had squirted water on burning ships to put the fires out. Ebenezer rode all over the lake on his back. One day, when they were riding out in the middle of the lake, an unusual event occurred. They suddenly saw a Iap sub send a torpedo at an American battleship. Quickly Pee-Wee drank the lake dry. When the torpedo hit bot- tom it exploded. The explosion blew a hole in the battleship and the ship caught on fire. Pee- Wee quickly belched the water back into the lake. However, with the water back, the ship began to sink. To prevent this disaster, Pec- Wee swam over and picked up the sub. He carried it over and stuffed it into the gaping hole in the battleship. Pee-Wee later received the Congressional Medal of Honor for his brave deed. -Roger Welch '48, A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE What I want to know is--why do people have to invent something almost useless for others to try? Take for instance, the day I came home and Mother had bought a new outfit for curling hair. She wanted to experiment on me ffor she knew Dad was out of the questionj and thinking perhaps I might have a wave I de- cided to try the punishment. After all the pull- ing, twisting, and winding I was positive my hair would be curled. I went to bed, and in the morning do you think I had a wave? My hair stood up on all ends, and because my experience was not very pleasant I was sure my mother had learned her lesson about things to try. To my disappoint- ment she had not, for the next day when Dad and I came into the kitchen there was a Lightening Dishwasher on the table. Dad looked at me and I, at him. At supper that night Mother said, I bought something new today for you boys to try to- night, but it is the funniest thing, I have mis- placed it. I sure hope Dad's hiding place is a safe one. -Staunton Allen '48. 1945 ACTIVITIES OF AUTUMN The Autumn season is probably the busiest of all seasons for the country. At this time of year the farmer must gather in the crops pre- paratory to winter. In early autumn when the leaves are just starting to turn, the potatoes must' be dug from the ground to be sent to the city for sale or to be stored in the cellar for winter use. The corn must be picked and ground into grain for the cattle or sent to the factory to be canned. After the corn is picked the stalks are cut for ensilage. Then the stubble is plowed under the soil. Red, rosy apples are then picked and packed in boxes to be shipped to the market in the city or stored in the garret or cellar, there to be used in the winter when old man North Wind is whistling around the corner. The nuts on the ground are gathered, wood is cut for winter use, and houses are banked for winter. These and many other things are activities of a country boy during the autumn months. The activities of a city boy during the autumn season are not so numerous as those of a country boy, but are still sure signs of the coming winter. In the suburbs of the city, boys are seen rak- ing fallen leaves into huge piles and then jump- ing in them, having a joyous time. Finally, after tiring of the game they touch a match to the pile and have a huge bonfire. In the more northern part of the country boys may be seen putting double windows on their city homes. The activities of both country and city boys are a sure sign of America's most beautiful sea- son, - Autumn. -Wendell McBean '48. THESE THINGS I LOVE I love the splendor of the newly awakened earth and dawn. The rising of the sun seems to bring new life and hope to the world. It tends to purify the air and give it a delightful, intangible odor that comes only at the break of day. I love the dazzling white blanket that covers the ground after the first tiny flakes of snow have fallen. Mother Nature transforms the ugly brown earth into a gorgeous new pathway of life. I love the soft, white, billowy clouds that drift across the pale blue sky. They seem to be a magic means of transportation intended for the angels. These are the things I love. -Claire Columbus '48. OUR WAR AT HOME Last VVednesday my girl friend and I went to Augusta to visit her uncle in the hospital. As we entered we noticed a cute and attrac- tive girl working at the desk. Later as we were walking through the cor- ridor we came upon a nice looking young man whom we took to be a doctor. Being girls we took notice of him and said, I bet that girl has her eye on him. She looks like a girl who likes the boys, and so the conversation went. By just using your imagination you may have a pretty good idea of what we said. After we had done some looking around we went into the waiting room and were about to sit down when the nice looking young office girl came in to put a book back. To our amazement that girl, whom we had been jeer- ing, was limping. Looking down, we noticed that one leg was a lot shorter and smaller than the other. VVell, that's when my girl friend and I began to shrink up. You have no idea how low down il we felt. I am sure that after going through an experi- ence like that not one person in these United States would hesitate to reach deep into his pocket for money for the Infantile Paralysis Fund or any other fund for the physically dis- abled. -Ruth Watson '48. 1945i Sports of Last Spring BASEBALL Last Spring a small group of boys answered the call for baseball. There were enough for one team and that was about all. Ineligibilities and other mis- fortunes hampered the team throughout the season. The team got off to a poor start, won a couple of games and then faded away for good. Of the eight let- termen of last year there are three return- ing for the 1945 season. RECORD W. A. 13 lay 3 W.

The lfagles were held down in the Franklin County tournament by the loss of two players through sickness. although the other lioys played as hard as they could and did a line job. The team went on after that to take third in the town team tournament winning from South Paris. and Livermore Falls. but losing to the jay Outlaws in a close game. The Eagles will lose three men by graduation this year: Cook, Bump, and Fitzpatric, hut should go on next year and improve on the record of this year's team which was only average. LETTFRMEN I.

We pledge ourselves anew to the cause of education and urge a renewed effort on the part of our citizens to give to the school every needed facility and equipment within our means, so that, with the co-operation of the School Officials and a competent Faculty, Wilton Academy may continue in the future as she has in the past, to be placed among the high- est ranking institutions of our State. With this accomplishment, turning out high grade products from our schools, as we do from our factories, Wilton need never fear for the prosperity of the community, nor the char- acter of its citizenship. 76- E riff fag WP' 1 55?
