Bailey i 1948 EDITORIALS MAINE'S CONTRIBUTION TO LITERATURE ROM the countrysides and villages of Maine have come poets and authors who have made names for themselves in American Literature. Although the Pine Tree State may not rank first financially it is very rich in lit- erary wealth. Poetry seems to come easily to the people of Maine. It would be difficult to say when verse was first written here, but we know that it was early in the literary history of this country when poems were first composed in our state. Among our prominent poets are the famil- iar names of Henry W. Longfellow, Robert P. T. Coffin, Edwin Arlington Robinson and Edna St. Vincent Millay. Maine's prose, along with its poetry, is well supplied with that rare type of humor peculiar to its natives. Every work shows the rugged originality of its author. One critic has stated, There is a simplicity about Maine books that makes them seem to have grown out of the very soil that produced their authors. A few of our widely known prose writers are Kate Douglas Wiggin, Sarah Orne Iewett, Rob- ert P. T. Coffin, Mary Ellen Chase, Gladys Hasty Carroll, Ruth Moore, and that author of a recent best seller, Iohn Gould. Several writers including Harriet Beecher Stowe, Kenneth Roberts, Booth Tarkington, and Rachel Field have been proud to claim Maine as their home at least part of the time. Maine people have just cause to be proud of their literature. Even in the rush of world events, they have never ceased to be literary minded. Their unending How of excellent writings have continued to bring fame to our glorious state. Claire Columbus MAINE'S CONTRIBUTION TO MUSIC F all the arts, music is one of the most beautiful. It is in harmony with the whispering of the pines and the breaking of the waves on the rock bound coast. The Pine Tree State has instilled in the hearts of its peo- ple a love of and an ability to appreciate and interpret the best of music. Maine, even though not a leader in music, has contributed her share to this field. Madame Nordica, Emma Eames, and Annie Louise Carey, famous for their exceptionally beautiful voices, became world famous. Madame Nor- dica is often referred to as the Queen of the American operatic stage. , A goodly share of Americais composers have started their careers in our state. Perhaps there is no song by a Maine composer that is better known than Kate Vannali's Goodby, Sweet Day . Some of Maine's violinists who have re- ceived fame in the concert world are Blanche Cram, Bret Dingley, and Donald Morrison. Under the capable direction of William Chap- man, the Maine Music Festival became recog- nized throughout the country as one of the fore- most annual musical events in America. This same man also instituted the Maine Symphony orchestra. ln 1931 the Eastern Music Camp was estab- lished on the shores of Lake Messalonskee. At that time it had one of the largest outdoor bowls in the United States. Maine may justly be proud of its many bands throughout the state. Not the least of these are the fine organizations in some of our secondary schools. Many school children in Maine are receiving excellent vocal training in the public schools, and are being taught the importance of music appreciation. Regardless of how great are the natural re- sources of our state, our greatest pride will al- ways be in the lives of our people, many of whom will be known through the ages for their contributions to the great field of music. Avis Grant 7 Q 1948 DRAMA IN MAINE RAMA in Maine is produced mostly by traveling companies although the state has several permanent groups. Since the war, the Portland Players has been revived and this organization has staged several performances a year. The traveling Childrenls Theatre in Portland is the only one of its kind in the country. There are numerous little theatres and col- lege theatres throughout the state, but the crowning glory of Maine dramatics is the sum- mer theatre. It is very fitting that the summer theatre should be tops for it was in this state that it got its start. It has advanced a long way since its birth at Peaks Island in 1889. The trolley car interests took over the summer theatres to boost their own business. It was for this reason that Herbert L. Swett moved into Lakewood. He greatly improved it, and today it is the old- est and probably the most famous summer the- atre in the country. No other can rival it in completeness and equipment. Through the years Lakewood has presented very famous actors, actresses, playwrights, and plays. It was here that the sensationally suc- cessful LIFE WITH FATHER was hrst pre- sented both as a play and, years later, as a movie. A regular summer colony has grown up at Lakewood making it the summer theatre capital. Other summer theatres in Maine include Boothbay Playhouse, Deertrees Theatre, Ogun- quit Playhouse and the Surry Playhouse. Roger Welch APPRECIATION E take this opportunity to express our appreciation to the following for the assistance which they have rendered the stu- dents of Wilton Academy: ' To the Wilton Woolen Company for the sweaters purchased by them and presented to the boys of the varsity football and basketball teams, also for the dyeing of girls' Held hockey uniforms.

During the past year we have been earnestly attempting to add to our fund for a class trip. VVe have sponsored dances and food sales. sold Christmas cards and collected paper. Our class has been exceptionally well repre- sented in school activities. Many meniliers have taken active part in sports. We presented a class one-act play, When Boy-Friends Meet, and a three-act play, The Eighteen Carat Boob. The cast ol' the state contest play, Dark VVind, was composed entirely of seniors.

The bases are loaded, two men are out and the count on the batter is three-and-two. The pitcher holds the ball. Now he lets it fly. The batter ----- We regret to announce that due to previous commercial commitments we must interrupt the broadcast of the game at this point. How- ever, if you'll ----- 'i Phoeyl The nerve of them! They should be arrested for doing a thing like that! People used to be hanged for smaller things. After broadcasting nearly all the game, they cut off the last, exciting moment. And why? Simply so we can hear the troubles of Iohn's- Other Wife or the capture by Dick Tracey of the vicious Wolfeater or some other dreamed-up bit of nonsense. And all the time we might have been hearing the outcome of the game. If I could get my hands on that stuffed-shirt announcer, I would like to tie him to Mickey, the Cowpuncher's bow-legged donkey, and set it loose in the middle of the desert to see if the great Manhunter could find him. Those two- bit hams that sit behind a microphone and let the sound effects man make heroes of them would be scared stiff if they ever faced a real predicament. The phony cowboys seem to think horses are exclusively for racing, and the only crime those made-up detectives have been near is the one they are committing,-the stealing of valuable radio time. If the public ever gets wise to them, those soap-opera heroes will have troubles of their own. And to think they would cut an exciting ball game off the air, so that we could hear those worthless imitations of the troubles of Cleo- patra's second assistant chamber maid. It's a crime. I don't know what, but something ought to be done about it. Maybe we can form a union of listeners who refuse to listen to these outrageous nightmares. If nobody listened to the morons, they might slip in their sudsy soap Hakes and disappear forever in the crackling bowl of cereal they seem to love. Somehow we've got to stop their interfering with respectable programs. It's an insult to the taste of the listener. It's unconstitutional, that's what it is. Roger Welch '48 24 SOME NONSENSE ABOUT A PIG With tears running down my cheeks I re- ceived the fifteen dollars from Mr. Carver and ran to the house and up to my room where I could be alone to forget everything. As'I lay on the bed I couldn't help remembering the circumstances under which Spinky and I had become acquainted. Spinky was one of seven brothers and sisters and being the smallest was deprived of the nourishing food that a young pig should have. He was rooted around the pen like an old stick and treated as though he were an intruder of some kind. One day I decided I would separate him from the rest and let him run about the yard as he pleased eating what and whenever he wished. As the weeks passed, Spinky showed in- creased signs of becoming a strong, healthy pig, the largest of the lot. lust when he was get- ting back to normal I ran over him with the tractor almost killing him. Spinky was then faced with the problem of fighting for his life. From then on I grew more fond of the little fellow and he came to depend on me more and more. At noon time I banged on a kettle to He in pig fashion would give a grunt and come waddling out to After he had Finished his meal he call him. monstrous meet me. would rub against me to remind me that it was time for his daily back scratch. As time went on Spinky grew mentally as well as physically. By growing mentally I mean he learned to do many things that an ordinary pig wouldn't think of doing. In the shed Father kept a bag of poisoned oats. However, Spinky didn't know they were poisoned, he only knew that they were some- thing to eat. One day I wasn't too much sur- prised to hear a clatter of pans in the shed. I hurried to the scene to find Spinky gulping clown poisoned oats as fast as he could swallow. I gave him a paddling which sent him scram- bling out of the shed squealing at the top of his lungs. We were very much afraid that he would be dead by morning. But was he? Absolutely not. Why, he even seemed more active than ever. I found him stretched out in the sun in front of the barn door, his little ear flopped over his eye to protect it from the sun. I called s 1948 him by name and was answered in the only language that a pig can use. Spinky did many things, one of which was chasing a piece of bread on a string. He fol- lowed me almost anywhere, stopping at inter- vals to wiggle his little tail and grunt his dis- approval. Although many years have passed since our separation, I still remember Spinky and the many escapades that we shared. Maureen Martin '48 NATURE'S PATH The day was warm and clearg as clear as a child's treasured glass marble. The rough dirt road wound between the lush green expanses of the golf course. Under a sun brighter than newly shined brass buttons, we wearily trudged along this road until we came to the fence which meant the beginning of the path that would lead us into the cool and refreshing shade of the woods. Nestled among the grass were minute white violets speckling the green background. Myri- ads of little red strawberries beseechingly beck- oned us. As we followed the narrow path our progress was impeded by branches that play- fully jumped back to their former positions to molest the next passerby. White fuzz clung tenaciously to our clothing and our hair. The path continued its aimless course until it led us into a glade in the coolest recesses of the wood. There busily functioning in this quiet spot was the object of our trip,-a spring of crystal clear water, the source of a small, picturesque stream. Claire Columbus '48 FACTS AND FIGURES There is definitely no such thing is a fat woman. Indeed she may be plump, stocky or endowed with a few extra pounds, but not fat. Nevertheless this expression is used and with varying effects. Let us consider the young debutante. To keep her figure trim is one of her most im- portant tasks. A catty friend approaching her, says, Pam, that dress just doesn't do a thing for you. A stricken sense of horror cuts the young accused who at once rushes for her diet list. Then there is the career girl who pays S350 for a special diet plate when she could have gotten the ordinary meal for 31.35. Now we come to the type of woman who could be blown away with a large gust of wind. Still, she persists that she is gaining weight when the most becoming thing that could hap- pen would be just that. Let us take the stocky girl fno one else seems to want herj. She has a good person- alityg she is a great sport, and a wonderful friend. She accepts her figure with a jovial sense of humor and without worry of diet and exercise. No, sir, worrying and striving to keep up a model figure are not for me. Hmmmmmm, I wonder-Do you think my new plaid reveals that two pounds I gained last week? Mavis Robinson '48 THE FOLLIES OF FELINES The cat family had definitely degenerated. Unlike its early ancestors, the common feline is a plague to mankind. It preys upon man's human weakness to achieve its own end. Early fathers of the cats were self-sufficient and tough. They were magnificent beasts who preyed upon the weaker denizens of the forest. These aristocrats spurned man and his luxuries and lived by the only law they knew-survival of the finest. Modern cats fnot necessarily the human vari- etyj are pampered and well-stuffed with pre- pared cat food and sardines. Half of them are so fat and lazy that they couldn't catch a mouse if it had a ten pound ball and chain around its neck. They are a terrible disgrace to their forefathers! Perhaps in the years to come these parasitic quadrupeds will heed the call of the wild and return to their original home- Africa. Maynard Cushman '48 MY CONSOLATION The old winter apple tree in the woods be- hind my house is to me a fine example of a tree that has lived for centuries. Maybe it is only twenty or thirty years old, but it looks as though it had seen the troubles of the world. Often if I look closely I can find on the bark scars caused by a buck deer's polishing his ant- lers by rubbing them on this tree. Other prom- inent marks were made by my small brother 25 1948 when he bored several holes in the exposed roots with his auger. I guess I was the closest friend to that tree. Many times I climbed its lowest limbs. Never did it drop me. I tell all my troubles to it and somehow in its own way of creaking in the wind, it tells me they aren't as bad as they ap- pear to be. Most of my bad moments were spent there and usually I went home in a bet- ter frame of mind. Many of my best times were spent in swinging from its limbs. Now I am too big to climb about its weak- ening boughs, but I still go there sometimes to discuss life's problems with this almost mortal friend. I think God made that tree especially for me. Glendon Cook '50 A TIGHT SPOT This year when we journeyed to Skowhegan to play our return basketball game, everyone was feeling in rather high spirits. But, upon arrival, we were doomed to disappointment. It seemed that we had forgotten to pack the bas- ketball shorts. The situation was becoming desperate, as no car in which to speed back home and get the much longed for apparel was available. To make matters worse, the boys joshed the neglectful managers for the dras- tic oversight. But, luckily, our Iunior Varsity Club, which was playing the preliminary game, came to our rescue. After their game, they proffered their shorts, which the Varsity men donned with great relief. This was one evening when it was fortunate that the Iunior Varsity boys, instead of the girls, were playing. Frank Randell '49 THE TRAGEDY Abercroombie Duiiicker had courted Miss Abigail Winchaser ,nigh on twenty-four years now, and everyone in town had been wonder- ing for at least twenty years when they were to be married. Of course Abercroombie wasn't very Gregory Peckish, but then Abigail wasn't what one would call truly lane Russellish. Finally it was made known throughout the town that the date had been set. The great day arrived and a large crowd had gathered about the church. Everyone looked his best. The bride looked lovely in her orange veil, purple gown, and pink slippers. Every so often she waved her red handkerchief at someone she knew. Mr. Dufiicker wore the new look in men to perfection. His robin's-egg blue trousers were five inches longer, and he only got tripped up four times. His size twelve shoes fitted rather loosely, as he only took size eleven and a half. Even his eyelashes were longer, but every- one said that was because he just simply didn't have time to pin curl them last night. Before the ceremony photographers lined up to take pictures of the event. Abigail smiled, the gold of her false teeth sparkling, and Mr. Duflicker looked very stern, although each one swore he saw his glass eye twinkle. Maybe it was the way the sun shone on it. After the ceremony the couple departed for a short honeymoon. A week later the town re- ceived news that Mrs. Duflicker had been acci- dentally shot while walking in the woods. A poor hunter had mistaken her for a peacock and had shot her with his squirt gun. But Mr. Dufiicker didn't mind because he still had six other wives left. Francine Lake '49 THE BEAUTY OF WINTER Few people realize the splendor and deep beauty of winter. They think so much about the cold that they don't realize the magnifi- cence of this season. When they do stop to consider it, they End many lovely aspects. Snow alone makes up a large part. A snow- flake in itself is a thing of unusual beauty. Each little snowflake has its own design, and it is said that no two are exactly alike. It covers the branches of trees causing them to bend over as if they were tired with their Fluffy load. Every part is perfectly formed. What a won- derful work of art from the store of Godis handiwork! The frost is another form of beauty. It causes each little needle of the pine tree to glis- ten in the sun. The ice-covered streams add to winteris splendor. How picturesque is an ice-covered stream as it winds like a silvery ribbon along its course! One can almost picture skaters gliding along its smooth, mirror-like surface. I believe that if people looked around them, . 1948 they would be astonished at the beauty of nature. Dorothea Packard '51 A QUAINT cm While I was on a sight-seeing tour last sum- mer I came to a little city the streets and alleys of which were very clean. The quaint, little houses were air-conditioned. The police force of this city which is one of the best in the world, keeps out burglars, thugs, and racketeers. The busy little inhabitants co-operate per- fectly. There are no jealousies, unions, or strikes. A In this city there is no mayor or city man- ager, but there is a queen who is looked upon with the greatest respect by all. The inhabitants work very hard to provide the food that is very necessary to the body. VVhen some of the 75,000 inhabitants are toil- worn they are made to leave. If they do not go voluntarily they are put out. As I saw more and more of their wise and co-operative ways, I became more astonished, for I did not know that bees were so very much like humans. Peggy Watson '50 A PAIR OF SKIS To some people a pair of skis means a lot of fun. To others it means a pain not only in the neck but in other places, too. I find myself in the latter group. I couldn't stand up all the way down a hill if my life depended upon it. Now skiers in the movies, are really some- thing. They glide down steep slopes gracefully. Imagine me sailing down a mountain effort- lessly. But what an illusion! When I find my- self at the top of a hill, I get goose pimples. I fatal attraction for brambles. seem to have a As for trees, oh, murder! One ski goes to the right of the tree, one to the left, and I go slid- ing down in the middle. Some hardy souls don't seem to mind toiling up a long hill. Of course there are ski tows, but they're murderous contraptions. I grab the rope and get such a jerk that I fall fiat on my face. After all is said and done, skiing is a lot of fun if you know how. But unless you do. watch out! Nancy Collins '51 SPRING IS HERE Small brooks brimming over with turbulent, muddy water rush madly down the hillsides and spill out of their beds into fields and roads leaving behind them the rich, fertile soil they have picked up in their courses. Country roads covered with ice and snow all winter long, suddenly become a sea of mud, rutted with the wheel tracks of farmcarts and an occa- sional motor car. Green blades of grass poke their way out of the dark brown earth with here and there a spring flower spreading its glory after the dreary monotony of the winter months. These are signs of spring, and welcome signs they are, too, for now the boys and girls will be out playing marbles, skipping rope, and looking forward to a long summer vacation with no more school for them. Spring is a glorious time of year, the time when things come to life and spread the' glory of living across the land. Trees sprout buds and take on a fresh green look: flowers come forth in bloom, and the pussy-willows form their little balls of fur-like softness. Yes, spring is a wonderful time of year, a time that seems to say, Wake up, World, it's time to begin life anew. Warren Rollins '48 TOW TYPES While skiing at a ski-tow, one can make an excellent study of different types of people. There is the girl who goes for the chance to fall in front of a handsome man with the hope that he will see her. Otherwise her day is ruined. Far more common is the do-or-die type, the sort of boy who is stiff and clumsy, but would break his neck before giving up. Gen- erally this type will lose control of his skis half way down the slope, and some half dozen un- suspecting skiers are in for a fall, for he will make a clean sweep. There is also the silver streak or super something who speeds down the slope, turn- ing fast, and plainly showing off. Believe it or not, there are also some skiers who come just to ski. They, fortunately, have enough members to hold their own with the I'CSt. They are always trying to improve their 1948 I skiing, but a little observation will divide even these skiers into groups. One would be the rich, well-dressed skier, well-prepared and usually good. Others with army experience behind them, ski well. Many can be seen hanging around the instructor, longing for his praise. There is one more type,-the perfect skier. That is what you imagine that you are as you see yourself speeding down the slope with everyone staring at you in awe. It's quite different when you're up there looking down. Well, you are allowed your own opinion. But just wonder in what class the next man in line places you! Gilbert Keay '50 ON GETTING IN AFTER MIDNIGHT An ordeal that takes practice, that's what it is. Trying to get in quietly without the whole household's saying, What time is it? l' is one of the most delicate of operations. First in the process, is telling anyone who may be in the car not to impatiently blow the horn. Then comes the ascending of the steps onto the porch only to find the door has devel- oped a few more rattles since you tried to open it quietly. lust give it one good push and- oops, What's that? Nothing but the de- lightful sound of the empty milk bottles crash- ing to the floor. One by one they are picked up and very carefully placed way back in the corner in order to make sure that the same thing doesn't happen on the way out. Now, just carefully open the inside door and you End yourself, yes, inside with everyone still peacefully resting, you hope. The light is turned on and you hurriedly get ready for bed only to be disturbed by the whirl- ing and spinning of tires in the snow. A peek out the window shows you he is stuck. There you are, helpless, just sitting and hoping. Won't it be horrible if the neighbors hear and wake up? There is just one word to express that feeling in your stomach. Fear. Five, ten, fifteen minutes, and relief comes. He's remem- bered the sand he had stored in the trunk. A few more spins and he's out. Hurry, Ruth, or you'll never get into bed be- fore something else happens. Iust another mo- ment and you're safe. How good it seems to relax and shut your eyes, but not for long, for you're quickly brought to by a Meow, meow! of the neighbor's cat. Oh, well, at least I won't get the blame for that. Ruth Watson '48 MY MOST UNFORGETTABLE CHARACTER He was a short, stocky man. Some thought he was gruff-looking because of his shaggy eye- brows, but underneath them twinkled two very jolly blue eyes. He was very fond of books and would read them by the hour, often discussing them with me as I got older. His large bookcase, over- flowing with books, was a never-ending source of delight for me. His favorite pastime, however, was teasing people. He teased Mother and me about our big feet, but we answered right back in terms of the bald spot on top of his head. He teased one of my sisters about her pranks, another sister about her never being able to sit still, the third about getting fat. He was always willing to argue politics with anyone who wanted to agree with him. He liked to talk about farming, too, and often sat on the back doorstep in the summer evenings, whittling at a stick of wood and talking with his friends. He was a very honest person, and was friendly to everyone. Known to his friends as Gene , he was just Grandpa to me, and when he passed away this winter, we lost a great comrade. Barbara Maxwell '50 UNCONQUERABLE VVith head bowed, the handsome olive- skinned boy sat listlessly on the steps of San Francisco di Paola, a church of ubeauitful Napoli. Yes, Guiseppe de Gasperi was but one of the many Italian children who were homeless, parentless, and faithless. His pre- maturely adult face was hard with hurt and hate, his once tender eyes, cold and ruthless. A pang of hunger filled his body, but was this not a familiar sensation in these days of hope- less famine? One thought in mind, he slowly rose and moved over the gray stoned stairs. Purposely 1948 approaching the market place, his eyes wan- dered hungrily to the oblong loaves of bread on the peddlers' stands. He longed for food, but with so many starving people it had become increasingly hard to obtain any. In recent weeks Guiseppe had stolen from trash cans and fellow men. ln these days it was each one for himself or another death for the evils of war. Because he had never stolen directly from a peddler before, he hesitated. Again a pang of hunger gnawed at his body and im- mediately all doubt Hed. Without further delay, his grimy hands snatched the hard bread, and he ran as if Mercury had given him wings. Twisting and dodging, he escaped into the pro- tection of a labyrinth of alleys. Finally the threats and running footsteps of the peddler could no longer be heard. Guisippe de Gaspcri was indeed proud and happy with this manna from the Lord which he had in his posses- sion. Here was enough food for several days and good food at that! Sitting down in a secluded corner, he joy- fully began his meal, when unexpectedly a faint whimper reached his ears. Looking stealthily about, he saw before him a forlorn little girl, her face pinched with hunger and fear. Guiseppe's heart and conscience suddenly did a strange thing: for instead of his usual con- tempt and nonchalance toward the sufferings of others, his heart softened and filled with pity. His veneer of hardness and hate seemed to melt and he felt an unfamiliar urge to give his precious bread to this ragged child. With ex- tended hand he offered the gaunt urchin his remaining bit of food and the gratitude in her eyes made up for the hunger in his stomach. A smile shone upon his face as he moved from the alleyg for now he was more than a hardened old-young boyg he had become a man, desiring to give without any gift in re- turn. Iane Franchetti '50 A SPOILED PET lt was an unusually chilly February morning on which we found a new inhabitant in the barn. His thin body was supported by four scrawny legs. Upon our arrival he was stiver- ing about the pen making faint, bleeting noises. Yes, our sheep had a fleecy little lamb. As the little lamb became noticeably weaker and weaker, we decided that we must revive his strength by some means. Finally, we con- cluded that maybe the cozy, warm house would furnish him an excellent temporary abode be- cause his thin blanket of wool was not much protection when the thermometer registered below zero. Having snatched the baby lamb from his mother, we carried him tenderly into the house where we had made him a bed right .on top of one of the radiators. Our next task hinged around the lamb's nourishment. His stomach would be hitting his back bone, if we didn't hustle to his atten- tion. Having scurried up an old bottle and nipple, we prepared to feed the fellow. And we soon discovered that this was no easy job. After several hours had passed, we decided that it was now warm enough in the barn for him. Anyway he belonged with his mother, who had been calling for him ever since we had been nursing him in the house. The mother sheep sniffed and sniffed her lamb after his return. I guess she decided by the smell that this wasn't her baby. What's more, she completely refused to have anything to do with this strange new creature that had been placed in her pen. She even bunted the poor little fellow. Having decided that there was no other solu- tion to our problem, we carried the lamb back into the house, where, I might add, he re- mained for many weeks. On the porch we constructed a pen which became the lamb's permanent headquarters. Danny-Ram-Lamb, as we named him, became a spoiled baby. Each time that he saw us coming with his bottle he would rush headlong for it, as if he were half- starved. This process was repeated daily until spring arrived. After we had placed the other sheep in the pasture, we thought that maybe Danny-Ram- Lamb would thrive better out-of-doors. We continued to feed him with a bottle. The min- ute that we called his name, he would come running pell-mell from whichever part of the pasture he might be at that time. Danny-Ram-Lamb grew and grew as the summer days quickly passed. He became full of pep and even began to adopt some of the habits that are usually associated with rams. We discovered that he enjoyed bunting objects 29 1948 I and soon even people. Even though he was still a dear pet we realized that we must part with Danny. He might get too ferocious some day and really hurt somebody. The day arrived when a small truck backed up to the pasture. Upon our call Danny came on the run, never realizing what his future destination was. As Danny was carried down the road out of our sight, we could hear his voice in protest. I don't believe he wanted to go any more than we wanted to see our spoiled pet being carried away. Avis Grant '48 ON MY NEIGI-IBOR'S RADIO Now, I am not a person to get angry or de- jected at the least little thing, but if you had to contend with what I do, you might be angry most of the time. One evening, in my two tenement apartment house, I decided to listen to my favorite radio programs. Lazily I sat down in my easy chair beside the radio, playing the dial over the many stations with one hand, while with the other I gently stroked the soft black hair of the kitten, which was determined to remain in my lap. Finally, I found some peaceful, quiet music which made me so restful that I almost thought I was in paradise. Bang! Bang! I gutchal 'I came from up- stairs. At first I was alarmed, but satisfied my- self by saying it was only his radio. Only his person listen to peaceful radio! I-Iow can a music when he hears the shooting of guns and thud of hoof beats above his head? I could hear his radio much plainer than mine because he had more volume control, and since my neighbor was partially deaf it was necessary for him to run the radio three times as loud as any normal person. I turned my radio off and decided to try get- ting so absorbed in a book, that I wouldn't even hear that horse opera H upstairs. The book was a famous French novel written about two world-wide lovers. It seemed that every time Monsieur told Mademoiselle how much he loved her, I could hear the racing of one hun- dred hoof beats with an equal amount of shoot- ing as an accompaniment. How could I con- centrate on my book? lust then everything was silent. I decided that the bad men must 30 have been caught. The station was changing, --but would it,be for the better or the worse? Patiently I waited, wishing his radio would break down or the power would shut off, but my thoughts were shattered by the words of the announcer, We bring you Waltz Time sponsored by- Q that was enough for me to hear. Again I settled down with my book but evi- dently my upstairs neighbor didn't like sweet music, for the next thing I heard was the sound of a squeaking door. This I knew was Inner Sanctum, another vicious murder mystery. Consequently the only thing for me to do now is go to bed and bury my head in the pillow. Richard Babb '48 MY DOG He only weighed 105 pounds and stood two feet at the shoulder, but his weight and size did not affect his speed. He could outrun any man or beast that came before him and he had no fear for either. Even the speedy, little, red squirrel fell easy prey to his snapping jaws. If it was a rabbit or gray squirrel he would run over it, then go back to pick it up, if it was another dog that came into the yard to steal one of his bones he would send it scurry- ing. He could handle any two dogs that came, and he never lost a fight. Although he never bit a human being, any person that came into the yard never left the car to come into the buildings unless he had the dog's permission. If a traveling salesman or cattle dealer came when no one was home, the dog would stand by the car or truck with his teeth showing, his fur standing on end, and a low, mysterious growl coming from his throat. This growl made a person think twice before getting out, and if thestranger finally decided that the dog was harmless he changed his mind fast and stayed in the car. Although he chased almost any wild animal he never chased cats. He liked them and would sleep with them. Often he caught field mice and left them where the cats found them. He dug woodchucks out of the stone walls, kept the coons out of the corn, and sometimes he even tracked skunks. But for days after- ward he went around looking as though he had lost his best friend. i 194-8 Once in a while he tackled a porcupine, then he had to have the quills pulled. Even this didn't seem to hurt him much for very soon he would get after another. He was always look- ing for excitement even if it was only running through a Flock of birds to see them Hy. He almost met his match one day when he tangled with a young bear, but because it was neither too lively nor too large he was able to get it down so that we could kill it. We skinned it, tanned the fur and let the dog use it for a bed. He was as proud of it as anyone could be and kept an eye on it to make sure that no one stole it from him. We still have the bear skin, but our dog has passed on. Herbert Miller '48 GEOMETRY AND I Plain Geometry is just a cinch, At least that's what I'm told. To look at that book makes me flinch, And the propositions leave me cold. My teacher says they'll come out all right If only I'll work very hard. But I try and try with all my might And still get C on my rank card. I'll construct perpendiculars and bisect lines, And pass in all my papers, too. Then I'll watch and wait for all the signs That'll let me bid that course adieu. Ioyce Rand '50 TEACHERS When their lessons seem too long Students say thcy're misused creatures. Thinking that they work too hard, They blame it on the teachers. They think a teacher's brain so small There's no room left for basketball. When to classes as we go Thinking of assignments, Blame them on the teachers dear, Not on brain allignments. We think teacher in a trance Not to think of last night's dance. When at the end of four long years We sit before the preacher, VVe will quickly come to think We may know less than teacher. Teachers with their minds so broad Condemn us never to the Lord. So let us take the time to think And worry once for teacher, And do our homework every night, Forget that double feature. Teachers never look for fame, But sturdy stand to bear the blame. Donald Knowles '48 GIVING THANKS In the morn when I awake, A little prayer to God I make, Iust a word to let Him know That I, a human, need Him so. I thank Him for both life and love, And all life's blessings from above. For nature, friends and all my needs, That every step for me He leads. I thank Him for forgiving friends, That for mistakes He makes amends, I pray to God that I may be Ready and able His will to see. Pearl Adams '48 A UNIQUE MALE He is ever faithful, Yes, he is ever true. And he is not the fickle kind That acts as most males do. His hair is black, his eyes are brown, His teeth are pearly white, Yes, he is always with me Not only on Saturday night. I always find him waiting, He never stands me up, You see, he is a real, true friend. My Cocker Spaniel pup. Pearl Adams '48 Life may be so happy, Life may be so gay, But you must remember Life may end today. 1948 Some meet life with courage Others call life bad. Be not pessimistic Think of blessings shared. Life can be so joyous VVhen your cause is right. Falsehoods may bring sadness That turns noonday into night. Maxine Melcher '48 PEACE-BREAKERS The sun was downg the moon was upg The land was all asleep, The stars were scattered all about, The sea was cold and deep. The mountains stood a mighty guard, The rivers Howed along, The branches of the trees stood still, The birds now had no song. The moonbeams shone upon the lake Which rested all so calm It seemed it couldn't move about, And nothing could cause harm. When suddenly the calm was gone, The silence now was dead. The moon was down, the wind had come, The clouds were overhead. The storm was here with all its force, The rains began to fall. The lightning struck, the thunder roared, The storm engulfed us all. It tore apart the works of man With lashing tongue and claw. It stopped the game, it wrecked the crop, The people stood in awe. It seems that war is like a storm, It strikes so swift and fierce, Calm peace is all about the the land . Which war has come to pierce. It breaks the people and the land Up into tools of strife, It places man in battle Fields To take another's life. And what is gained by all this strife, And what does one then own? Nothing but tearspand wretched hope And wishes long outgrown. We know we canlt prevent the storm But can't we bar a war By friendship and abiding love With calm, deep peace our law? Roger Welch '48 MY FRIEND THE CAT People say dogs are man's best friend, but give me a soft, furry, fluffy cat any time. All cats are really proud of their looks. How many times a day one can see cats sitting in the sun and contentedly washing their faces, paws and bodies. How many times do you see a dog cleaning himself? Cats are often humorous to watch. Observe one that tries to catch its own tail. It spins continually in circles and after seemingly futile attempts, gives up in mock despair. Don't let him fool you, though. He could do it if he wanted to. For another example, watch a cat that has just caught a mouse. If anyone is around, it will invariably start to show off. Gripping it in his mouth, he will throw it in the air, jump around, and catch it as it comes down. Of course the cat dropped it fbefore pouncing on itl just to show that it wasn't the perfect ball player, and to make the game more interesting. Consider the cat's prowess as a mighty Nim- rod. Hearing a slight rustle in the grain box, it stealthily creeps along toward the source of the mysterious noise. With patience beyond belief it keeps sharp vigil on top of the box from under which the mouse must appear. Then, a great spring! Amid squeaks and squeals the mighty Nemesis pounces upon its victim, and the cat has his dinner. This is quite a far cry from the idle life of Onyx and Lillian. Wendell McBean '48 MEMORIES My trip to Indiana last summer was the source of many pleasant memories, the most outstanding of which were those connected with two trips into Chicago. e 1948 We expectantly looked forward to the first visit in Chicago. Upon arrival, we went to the Museum of Natural History. To me this was an impressive experience because it was the first time that I had been in a real museum. Next, we visited the Adler Planetorium where we attended a very interesting lecture of the stars. Emerging from this building, I was in somewhat of a daze, but I became thoroughly awake when, after dinner, we watched the White Sox play the Detroit Tigers at Comeski Park. When the game was over and I was homeward bound I could hardly believe that I had seen a big league game. Our second trip to the Windy City was equally thrilling. We shopped in the loop at Marshall Field and Company. In the after- noon we reverted to our childhood days at Riv- erview Amusement Park. That evening we attended a performance of the Red Mill which put me in seventh heaven for the next few days. Some day I hope to return to Chicago to visit its many other places of interest. Earlene Adams '49 THE STATUE OF LIBERTY Last summer my father took me to New York City for a week. We saw many famous things, but to me the Statue of Liberty was the greatest attraction. To visit this we had to go by special ferry- boat to the island. Arriving there, we stepped onto the wharf and gazed at one of the most magnificent sights in the world,-the great lady, the Statue of Liberty l Looking at it made us realize that she stands for America and democracy, and a Hood of mingled pride and joy, which can't be put into words, came over me. We experienced another great thrill as we ad- vanced to the base of the fort, climbed the steps, and entered a door to find the steps leading to the base of the statue itself. After what seemed like hours of anxious climbing we reached the head of the Statue. From here we could see practically all of the city through the small panes of glass in her crown. The descent is easier although it is tiresome because you have already seen your point of interest. Visiting the Statue of Liberty is an experience you'll never want to miss, even though you may be physically tired at the end of the day. Avis Sabino '51 THE GREEN WORLD IS MINE What is more pleasant on a warm, sunny day than a quiet walk through nature's wonder- land? The air, swept clean by the winds and rain, is sweet and clear. As we stroll slowly across the fields, tiny Howers peep out at us. They are multi-col- ored,-pink, blue, yellow, and white. One variety is little bells, another, miniature hearts. Surely, these are stars that have dropped down from the heavens to nestle their heads in the emerald green beds below. Some of the flowers rest almost hidden in the green carpetsg others stand straight and tall. Many nod their heads as if asking to be picked. Over all lingers a faint, delicate fragrance that cannot be achieved by the most skillful makers of perfume. Yonder there are black and white dots fioat- ing in a sea of green. As we approach, these turn to Holstein cows contentedly grazing on the fresh, green grass. Some turn their large, soft eyes upon us while others chew their cuds lazily. Beyond the field, is a winding brook, flanked by trees stretching their arms like protecting sentinels above the calm below. Now and then the trees bend their heads as if whisper- ing secrets. Through the branches, the sun makes a lacy design on the brook below. Soon the quiet smoothness of the brook is broken by the flash of a sliver body which leaps gracefully into the air to snap at a Hy hovering too near the surface. A tiny ripple results and grows until it breaks on the opposite shore. Presently our gaze drifts higher until we look directly overhead. Never has the sky seemed more blue. Soft, fleecy clouds fioat slowly above, making patterns in the sky. As we walk homeward, we are more than ever convinced that if one needs a lift he can certainly find it in the great outdoors. No one can feel unhappy and blue for long if he gets close to the wonders of Nature. For then the Green World will be his. Maurice Bryant '48 1948 WHODUNIT Monday- Bedlam in the Sophomore room. Mr. Boothby has been murdered. The case is in the hands of the capable detective, Gilbert Keay, of Ransom, Transome, and Keayhole, investi- gators. It is easily seen that the murder weapon is unknown. After careful questioning, there are no suspects. Everyone has a motive. Everyone has an alibi. Namely: 1. Beverly Baker, Bev. Edwards and other members of the lower grapevine were whispering, and did not see the murder. 2. Raymond and Gerald were asleep. 3. Glidden, Roland and Pete were playing baseball with a coke cap. 4. Mr. Boothby's screams were drowned out by Peggy's laugh as lane told a joke to Roberta, Phyllis and members of the higher grapevine. 5. Horace was looking at the picture in his desk. fMiss Hush, no doubt.j 6. Keene was giving Merle a lecture on Why.,' 7. Lawrence and Francis were debating Beans Corner vs. Farmington. 8. The rest of the class was reading except for- 9. Lewis Bryant-he was minding his own business fvery suspiciousj. Friday- There is a rumor around school that the cul- prit is found. Sure enough, a class meeting is called. Gilbert walks to the front of the nervous class, which is eyeing him and the object in his hand. He holds up a battered piece of metal and says, I hold in my hand the murder weapon. Mr. Boothby himself bought it in Cramis the day of his death. It, as you might surmise, is a ball point pen. VVith it he unknowingly signed his own death warrant. As he touched the pen to the paper it exploded. He forgot to read, in the instructions, the warning which states 'This pen can write only under water.' H Gilbert Keay '50 WHAT A HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION MEANS TO ME Wilton Academy has given me many bene- fits besides those obtained through its formal courses of study. Among the outstanding ad- vantages I have selected the following: During my four years I have had the oppor- tunity to make many new friends. Through participation in school activities and sports I have learned that good sportsmanship is fundamental. I believe that basketball, an important activity, has been a vital part of my school program. Because of my training in public speaking and dramatics I am better able to express my- self when called upon to do so. My work in the glee club and the band has not only given me much enjoyment but has widened my interests. In conclusion, my high school education has helped me to grow up, to gain those require- ments necessary for becoming an intelligent citizen and to complete one more step in the preparation for my chosen vocation,-teaching.

Corydon Young CHEERLEADERS At the beginning of the football season last fall the cheerleaders were on hand to see that things started off in the proper manner. Al- though the size of the cheering section was smaller because our home games were played in Farmington, there was plenty of noise. Throughout the basketball season, the girls were present at all home games and went on nearly all of the trips. Several rallies successfully raised school spirit to a high point. This spring the freshman girls have been practicing preparatory to the choosing of future cheerleaders. Plans are being made to enlarge next year's squad. Ruth Watson has enthusiastically served as head cheerleader of the following assistants: Mary Mooar, Esther Packard, lane Franchetti.

BAND MAIORETTES Wilton Academy is justly proud ol' its line band. With its new uniforms it is a very out- standing group. During the summer vacation the Band was in constant demand to play for special occasions under the auspices ol' several organizations. They played in North lay, Wilton and Range- ley on Memorial Day: at Old Orchard for the American Legion Convention: in both Wilton and Rangeley lor the Firemen's Mustersg for the American Legion: and for the Hood Com- pany's lfield Day in Farmington. At the Franklin County Basketball Tourna- ment the lland was a great attraction. lt con- tributed a great deal to the school spirit of our school. Un September 24, a line concert was given in the Wilton Town Square. Another concert was presented in May and again this group con- ducted its annual tag day. 37 This has been a busy year for the Maiorettcs. They performed very successfully at the Band Concerts in the Square, and at the Wilton- Farmington football game and the Franklin County Basketball Tournament. The head majorette, Mavis Robinson, is assisted by Maureen Martin. Peggy Watson, Sondra Smith, Hazel Tilton. and Geraldine Iudkins. ORCHESTRA This year several well-known classical selec- tions have been added to the repertoire of the orchestra. This group has played at all of the school plays and it furnished music at the Odd Fel- lows, Hall. Director Knowles has led this group of 27 student musicians through another successful school year. 1948 ORCHESTRA Front Row, left to right: S. Harnden, E. Masterman, A. Grant, L. Bryant, C. Cook, C.

Petersen, the Glee Club began practice with 74 members who have worked hard two days a week to prepare for two concerts. Miss Edna F. Bailey has served as accompanist. On December 18th the group presented a very fine Christmas Concert to a large audience in the Academy. On November 21st a Tag Day brought in a total of 511635. These funds were set aside to help defray expenses for the trip to Bowdoin College on May 8th when the Glee Club will participate in the State Festival. Plans to raise money enough to make it pos- sible for the Glee Club and Band to attend the New England Festival in Hampton, New Hampshire, on May 20-21, are being made. EDWIN S. HALL ESSAY CONTEST An essay contest open to all students was made possible through the generosity of Mr. Edwin S. Hall of New Iersey. Requirements are that the student submit on or before April 16th an essay in thesis form consisting of 2500 words on any current national affair or problem. Mr. Hall provided subscriptions to the New York Herald, the New York Times, and the Christian Science Monitor for the students dur- ing this period. These papers have been used for reference work by those writing the papers. At Commencement an award of S50 will be presented to the winner of the contest.

With the untiring efforts of Miss Bailey and Mrs. Hellen and the student editor, Maxine Hobert, the board has issued some interesting papers. On September 12th the first copy of the new school year was published and from that day on, the students have looked forward to each new edition. In addition to the regular issues there have been several special ones for holidays. Each class has had a chance to edit one Eaglet, the last one being the graduation issue compiled by the Seniors. Our annual, the EAGLE, was compiled this year with Claire Columbus as Editor-in-chief, Avis Grant as Literary Editor, and Roger Welch as Business Manager. VARSITY HOP The Varsity Hop was held March 12 in honor of our Varsity Basketball team and our Varsity Football team. Percy Chapman furnished the music for dancing. The class presidents and their friends were in the receiving line. Although no profit was realized everyone had a good time. HOT LUNCH PROGRAM Miss Macomber is assisted this year -in serv- ing hot lunches by Mrs. Stanley Pike and Miss Dorothea Randell, who replaced Mrs. Edward Lorette after the Christmas vacation. This program makes it possible for the Academy students to have a well-balanced meal each noon. About 120 students take advantage of this opportunity daily. FRESHMAN RECEPTION The Freshman reception was held late in the fall. A few days previous, the freshmen in weird attire marched to a field hockey game. The night of the reception, every freshman took part in at least one of the various stunts that comprised the program. These ,ranged from a ladies' sewing circle to a scene from Romeo and Iuliet. Among the highlights of the evening were the initiation activities of the new teachers, the serving of refreshments, and a period of dancing concluded the evening.

Maurice Bryant and Herbert Miller placed Brst in poultry judg- ing. Wendell McBean and Frederick Hardy placed third in dairy cattle judging, and Stanley Harnden placed third in farm shop work, the total of which gave them the Grand Champion- ship cup. ln September Maurice Bryant and Herbert Miller went to the Eastern States Exposition in Springfield, Mass., to judge poultry. Last fall five boys went to Fryeburg Fair to compete in contests held there. Wendell Mc- Bean and Frederick Hardy won first and sec- ond places respectively in dairy cattle judging. The Future Farmers in the Iunior and Senior classes are planning to attend a district F.F.A. meeting at Fryeburg on May 5, 1948. The Chapter has held three evening meetings in addition to being invited to a social given by the Future Homemakers of America. The group is planning a F.F.A. Father and Son Banquet to be held sometime later in the spring. FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA, The Home Economics Club was reorganized this year under the leadership of Miss Macom- ber. The purpose of this club is to encourage and improve interest in the Held of Home Eco- nomics at Wilton Academy. This group belongs to both the state and na- tional organization of the Future Homemakers of America. Several new members were' initiated into the club last fall at an evening meeting. ln March the group was hostess to the Future Farmers at a pleasant evening meeting. Several members assisted Miss Macomber in serving a dinner to the Winter Carnival partici- pants and officials. Some of the girls plan to attend the State Convention in Augusta this spring.

Although we lost to six schools we won what were to us the most important games: Liver- more, 13-63 and Farmington, 14-0. There were 33 boys out for football at the beginning of the year, but gradually the num- ber diminished to 20. The fellows who did re- main on. the team showed steady improvement asm was aroused until not only more girls came out for practice but the entire student body took great interest in the team. New equipment was purchased this year. As far as wins are concerned, the girls did not have a successful season, but they had some hard-fought games. Only two senior girls will be leaving this year, so all signs point to a bet- ter season next fall. Under the capable leadership of Miss Young and Mrs. Lake, the practice sessions, games, throughout thc season. The Lettermen were: and trips were enjoyable and worthwhile. LETTER GIRLS R. Orr E.
