Bailey 1950 EDITORIAL THE announcement of a new gymnasium for Wilton Academy was gratefully received not only by the students of Wilton Academy, but by all persons interested in the welfare of our school. Wilton Academy is fortunate in being located in a town that has men of vision who are con- scious of the present needs, and interested enough to make possible a Fine modern gym- nasium for our school. For several years the seating capacity of our gym has been inadequate. Interest in our bas- ketball games has been dropping steadily be- cause of the crowded accommodations. This year in order to participate in the Mountain League we had to play our games in the Farm- ington Community Center since our gymnasium does not have a regulation Hoor. Our new gymnasium will contain a new and larger shop and a music room, thus eliminating the distracting noise. There will be an athletic director's room and space for lockers, showers and storage. A large stage will accommodate many activities, such as Band concerts, Glee Club concerts and plays. With deepest appreciation and gratitude, we wish to thank Mr. Roy Gifford, Mr. Earl Foss, Mr. Parker Abbott, Mr. Charles Swett, Mr. Francis Egan, Mr. Edward I. Ewing, and Mr. Fred G. Richardson, directors of the Wilton Woolen Company, for their generous gift. Ioyce A.

We deeply regret that of the 69 freshmen who entered as members of the class of 1950. only 40 remain. We are glad, however, to have received three new members into our class- Roland Leach from Cherryfield Academy. Ramon Rand from Stratton High. and Beverly Soper from Dixlield High-thus making an enrollment of 43. During our four years we have distributed our talent through the various school activities -glee club, band, orchestra, athletics, major- ettes, newspaper work, and dramatics. Un December 9, we presented the dramatic one-act play. Balcony Scene , under the di- rection of Mrs. Eugene Hunter. Later in the year, on April 10th. this play with Miss Ken- nard coaching. was entered in the State Re- gional Contest. We have sponsored public sup- pers. and dances, as well as our Annual Sham- rock Frolic. On April 24, the class left for an enjoyable 5 day trip to New York City. We wish to express our deepest appreciation to our teachers, parents, and friends.

Secretary? Teacher? Not for me. What do I want to be? Oh, I'd like to be a second Betty Hutton, without the husband, of course. Men don't interest me. Neither does Hollywood interest me. Iust as long as I get on the stage, Broadway would suit me fine, and if I can act like Betty Hutton I'll be satisfied. You don't think I'm capable of doing her kind of work? How wrong you are. Of course I'll need training, but I'1l get there. I'm too quiet? In school, yes, but outside, no. I'm so noisy at home my mother can't stand it. Gee, I can see myself on that stage now. People will be in hysterics when I go through my antics, when I dance, and when I try to sing. They are happy and it is because of me. Ah me, that's the life. Go ahead and laugh, but someday you'll envy me. Someday you'll pick up the paper and read Wilton Academy Grad- uate Makes Good and then you'll say, What a lucky girl. You'll read how I, Norma Went- worth, made a dream come true. If Be-tty Hutton can do it, why can't I? Broadway, here I come. Norma Wentworth '51 WHY? Child psychologists and the makers of ency- clopaediae for children claim that children learn by asking questions. They say, therefore, that a person's mind ought to be an open Book of Knowledge which the children can throw around as they desire. If my three-year-old neighbor ever cornered the person who started this theory, the would- be savior of children from the Children-Should- Be-Seen-and-Not-Heard era would complete a sudden about-face and come to the quick conclu- sion that Although the dear little angel is such a sweetheart, would he please, please, be quiet! After such an encounter, the psychologist would go on his way, a bitterly disillusioned man, and probably take up flower-raising. I shall describe a typical situation. It is a warm, summer afternoon. Having nothing better to do, I recline with a good book in the lawn chair under the maples. However, the quiet movements of the leaves, the soft, drowsy hum of the bees, the lullabies of the birds, and the peacefulness of the surroundings soon overpower my thirst for knowledge. My eyelids drop gently shut. While the town is devoid of all other life, little Aloysius trips about, doing his dirty work. Inevitably, he spies me. I feel a tug on my arm, and then another. I raise one eyelid and inquire crossly, What do you want? What are you doing? I was trying to sleep, I say, hoping this rebuif will frighten him away, but he can't take a hint. VVhy? This word always seals my des- tiny. I resign myself to my fate, prop my eyes open, and endeavor to sit up. Because I'm sleepy. I hope this will suffice, but I have no luck today. It doesn't. Why are you sleepy? I don't know. I'm stalling while I think of some good excuses. After two minutes and ten fingernails I have thought of none. So l cease trying, knowing that any excuse I give won't be sufhcient for him, anyway. This type of conversation goes on for several minutes until I wish that the earth would open and swallow him. I muster up enough courage to tell him to go home, but he promptly refuses. Finally, I administer the palm of my hand to his nether end and succeed in driving him toward home. At this strategic moment who should appear but the doting mother, who immediately rescues her angel. She chastises me with every adjective she can remember and leads her son home, her tongue going as fast as her legs. My nap and my.good reputation are ruined completely. Is there no justice in the world? Iames Armstrong '52 STUCK IN THE MUD These youngun'sg said Gramp, what is this world coming to? That was old Gramp who had been living wi-th us since Gram died which was so far back that I can't remember. He was what the girls would call A cute old Irishman, which describes him just as well as anything, I guess. His last oration concerning the younger generation preceded a lecture having to do with my driving the family car every Saturday night. As I prepared to go to the dance, the big event of the week for me, Gramp and I always 28 ' -' 1950 went through the same ordeal for he was a confirmed pessimist and doted on the thought that I would meet with a great calamity, that is, an accident or, at the very least, get stuck. Why, oh, why, I asked myself, did the older generation always have to believe them- selves Prophets and Guardian Angels of those who were younger than thcyg and besides, didn't we have the advantage of all the modern methods of education and conveniences? Hastily I slicked my hair down, threw out my chest and grinned roguishly at myself in the mirror, grabbed my jacket and car keys, and shot out the door before Gramp had time to hnish his dire predictions. I started the car and drove down the highway admiring the beautiful moon which made me forget Gramp and think only of my girl. I wasn't paying much attention to where I was driving, but I knew soon enough when a big trailer truck went shooting past and I found that the car was stuck in the mud. The next morning when I came down the stairs Gramp was right there to remark, I told you sol Ramon Rand '50 QUESTIONING THE MOSS Tell me, Cool, soft moss That lines that forest pool- That dark, mysterious pool- Do spirits leave their trees To dance at night, When the bright, silvery stars Shine down and make Reflections in the water? And tell me, too- What is in the pool That makes you so closely guard it? Tiny, tiny, fish perhaps? A water bug? The petal of a flower Dropped down to float as an ellin ship? Do rabbits ever come to drink Of this clear liquid in a place So far from civilization? Perhaps a deer wets his nose Here-in the depths of the forest. Oh, moss! I wish that you could talk. Barbara Maxwell '50 MY MOST EXCITING RIDE Anita and I shouted goodbye to our friends and clattered across the porch. Starting to pick up my skiis to carry them home, I was interrupted by my sister. Barbara, we can ski home. Right down through the woods. Through the woods! But I never have. Anita. I couldn't dodge the trees. Sissy. All right! Here I come-and for heavens sakes, don't forget to pick up the pieces. Anita led-whizzing down the path and weaving skillfully along the way through rasp- berry bushes which stuck up above the snow. I lumbered, shullled, and poled, my way behind her-far behind her. Then we came to the woods. Anita! I yelled. How can I steer around the trees? Easy, my confident sister answered. Follow mel I followed her, but she was far ahead. Skid- ding up over the hump under which was a stone wall, she smoothly went out into the clear- ing and ended up grinning at the foot of the hill. Meanwhile, what had happened to me? Well, I suppose there must be a climax to most things. In this case, it happened to be a nice, straight, little pine tree that somehow dodged in front of me. Now, of course, when that crazy little tree stepped I I think it stepped, but I won't be too sure.j out in front of me it was too late to stop, and anyway, I was going to show the thing it couldn't spring in front of me and get in my way. I've seen in pictures that ski tracks went one on each side of the tree, but it didn't happen to me that way. One of my skiis plowed under the snow. My other leg was around the tree and the ski straight up in the air. I had one hand on the tree trunkg my other was under the snow -beautiful snow, you understand, but it's a little wet when it goes under a coat sleeve and touches a bare arm. Anita didn't have to pick up the pieces, but she had to help an indignant miss, namely me, to untangle. And from now on, my dear little sister can have her trees and ski paths, but I prefer the wide open spaces. Barbara Maxwell '50 '-1 - -if ' 1950 TO THE REPOSING SUN Where are you, sun, this frigid day To hurl your beams upon this earth And kill the frost upon its birth? Come out and strike with warming ray, Get up and shine from where you lie. Oh, leave me not within his girth And, please, do shine with all your worth. Oh, rise and hold the frost at bay! I know you'll hear my plaintive call, So show your face! Disturb the night! You will-to that I have no doubt- Protect me from the coldest fall, lust once flare up with all your might And l'll prepare to journey out. Glendon Cook '50 MORTALITY When flowers bloom and die They are forgotten. Snowflakes fall and run away Never again to see The light of day. Trees grow to stately heights, If not disturbed by man or blight, But even their end comes. Animals, birds, insects, all, No one above them erects A cold stone monument. The man however rich or poor Has some memorial To him made, Some leave behind great works Reminding us what they have done To win our praise. If fame should be your wish Be glad that you're a man. Evelyn Paine '50 ACTIVITY FIVE Yesterday was certainly not one of my lucky days. At breakfast I find to my dismay that someone has eaten my share of the bacon. Later while gathering up my books I discover that one of them is missing, not does thorough search of the house uncover it. Thus I start for school minus one book. Upon reaching there I dis- cover the fact that I have forgotten my lunch. Rushing back to school, after a hurried trip home I find that the clock in the Main Room is exactly three minutes past eight which makes me late for school. After reporting to the office, I make my way to the wrong English class and get my lessons all balled up. Finally after struggling through the day as best I can, I start homeward. Staggering under a pile of books a mile high, I eventually reach my destination, hoping that tomorrow will be one of my luckier days. Iohn Stansfield '53 MY MOST EXCITING RIDE My most exciting ride took place two sum- mers ago when I spent many of my leisure moments sailing on Frenchman's Bay. I must confess that while I sailed quite well, I neglected to inspect my ship regularly. During the sum- mer the ropes had rotted to the stage where a wise sailor would not have set foot in the boat. I-Ieedless of this, I continued to sail. One afternoon, in spite of a stiff wind, I ventured beyond my regular lanes. Once past the shelter of the huddled islands, I could feel the Bug pick up speed. Throwing all cau- tion fo the winds fof which there were plenty, by that timej, I proceeded bravely to the low buoy at the seaward end of the last group of islands. I circled this several times, making my boat tack and dance like a trained seal. Becom- ing bored with this, I spied a number of cars on the Schoodic Peninsula road. Immediately, I turned and ran across the wind toward Schoodic. In my eHorts to gain speed, I over- looked the fact that I was crossing an open channel, with my weak side to the Wind. I heeled the tiny sloop over until water poured into the boat over the port combing. Only when I could see the centerboard would I let out the sail, and let the sloop right itself. At this rate, I was soon within a few hundred yards of the Schoodic shore. Then the inevitable happened. Without as much as a whisper of a warning, the port main- mast stay broke, this was followed quickly by the boom stay, which I had unwisely tied down. With a lurch the bow shot up, and the ship, now out of control, came about swiftly. Attempt- ing to regain control, I abandoned the rudder and reached for the waving boom stay. How- ever, as I released the rudder, the ship turned 1950 again. In less time than it takes to explain, the boom slatted around, caught me smartly in the seat of the pants, and sent me skyward. The next thing I knew, I was splashing around in a cold ocean, almost fifty feet from my boat. Deprived of its guiding hand, the boat followed the channel current straight for the rocks! I swam to catch a trailing line, and pulled myself aboard. There was no way to prevent my going aground, so I steered forthe least rocky spot-and made it. Now that I had landed, my troubles began anew. I had to anchor the stern and cut down the mainsail to prevent the wind and waves from making driftwood of my sloop. This done, I crawled ashore. Cars stopped to ask if everything was all right, and I was offered several rides into town. However, my boat, if left much longer, would work loose and be wrecked. My ride came in the form of a Geodetic Survey patrol boat. Swiftly I tied on, and was homcward bound. The setting sun looked down upon a small cutter, with a sailboat in tow. In the latter boat, on a rats-nest of rope, lay a very wet, tired boy who had just had the wildest ride of his life. Gilbert Keay '50 MY BROTHER My brother is a boy of ten With a slim body, And sometimes his ribs show shadowy through And he makes sounds like those echoing inside a sea shell When he breathes hard. Sometimes he lies on his bed With one arm over the side, Drawing little picture dreams With his Fingers on the rug. I-Ie has a hard feel to his face This ten-year child. Once when he was sleeping I went and traced my fingers Over his cheek bones and forehead. I-Ie has a free body. The ocean water strides over it As over once-wet sand, And fades into his skin Like footprints after a wave. He makes deliberate footprints in the sand And squats to watch the waves Bear them out to sea. Surely he feels he has the power To walk the waves. My brother's laughter Is like his slim body Shaking off the ocean water. Bertha Baker '50 THE SECOND HALF OF THE CENTURY It is now 1980, thirty years after 1950. What wonderful changes in school buildings have taken place. All of the walls are made of glass bricks which draw the heat from the sun. Even the roof is made of glass through which light can penetrate. If it happens to get dark the school can always depend on the lights called Infinity Lights which are guaranteed to last for fifty years. No more blown-out fuses or defective wiring because for those are things of the past. For the comfort and convenience of the students, the seats are padded, the desks contain inkwells which are filled by pressing a button, and the tops of desks are made of glass. A seeing-eye opens doors for students who seem always to have their arms loaded with books. How do you get to school? In a helicopter, of course, and the landing field is the roof. lump out of the plane, onto an escalator, and ride down to your classrooms. When dinner time comes just go to the so- called diner, put in a coin, press a button and out slides any kind of dinner you wish. Revolving doors and movable floors inside the building complete the modern school. Myrna Ledger '51 SO YOU WANT TO BE A NURSE Did I hear you say you wanted to be a nurse? A wise choice, for it is a wonderful profession. There is a constant demand for nurses and there are many different jobs from which to choose. The four main fields of nurs- 1950 ing are hospital, public health, education, and private practice. These fields range from jobs in a hospital to jobs with steamship, airline, or railroad companies. There are also many opportunities for foreign service. Under the foreign service are missionary work, public health work, nurse educators and many others. There is always a chance for advancement in nursing. In hospital nursing you may keep advancing until you reach the position of direc- tor of nursing service or director of the hospital. In public health nursing you work for the com- munity and may be employed by insurance companies, government agencies, or educational departments. In educational nursing you are offered positions to teach other nurses. In private practice nursing you are your own busi- ness manager. You may be a private duty nurse which is a varied and interesting career, or you may become specialists in certain types of ill- nesses. The salary varies greatly in the nursing profession. It all depends on your ability and experience. However, the beginning salaries average from 51,800 to 152,600 per year. Sounds pretty good, doesn't it? Now let's look at the requirements for nursing. Ap- plicants for nursing should be good students and should have graduated from high school in the upper half of the class. Some schools of nursing will accept high school graduates, but others require a preparatory course, also. The required courses are: four years of English, three years of science, two years of Latin or some modern language, civics or sociology, and economics. These are recommended as meeting the usual requirements although they do vary slightly at different schools of nursing. If you are seriously planning on being a nurse, I would advise you fearly in high schoolj to select the school where you wish to train and send in for their list of requirements. Nursing is hard work, but usually the harder the work is, the more important it is and the more you learn from it. Nursing is a wonder- ful career crammed with opportunites for advancement and a useful and happy life. Avis Sabino '51 IS IT FUN TO WRITE LETTERS? Ah! A nice quiet evening and nothing to do. So 1 grab a box of stationery, an ink bottle, a pen, and an eraser, and sit down prepared to 32 write to five or six friends. I get as far as Dear Betty when I hear my Dad saying, Shirley, please bring me those letters lying on the desk. 1 slowly rise, but before'I can even get to my feet I hear Mom saying that as long as I am up will I please bring her knitting and Sister's coloring book. After this I managed to write two or three lines before the telephone rang. I waited until it became evident that no one else was going to move before I decided to answer it. 1 figured that if I rose up in my chair, stretched my arm, and slightly tilted the chair that 1 wouldn't have to get up to answer it. The next thing I knew there was a loud crash and I was sitting or rather sprawling on the floor with the chair directly over my head. When I did get around to answer the telephone, the call was for my mother. 1 was really making progress on giving Betty the latest news when Mother kindly asked if 1 would see that Sis got ready for bed. When I started writing again it was getting rather late so I hurriedly scribbled away to a Hnish. I was just beginning to sign my name when I heard a faint yell for a glass of water, so 1 trudged upstairs, managing to spill only a few drops. By the time Ihad signed and sealed the envelope it was time to go to bed. I really felt lucky that I had written a whole letter. Now could anyone, after reading this, tell me it's fun to write letters? Shirley Thompson '51 MY GREATEST SURPRISE When I was about ten years old I had a pet cat named Sadie, who was very soft and cuddly. I considered her my most prized possession, nothing but the best was good enough for her. At night after everyone had gone to bed I used to sneak very quietly down the stairs and bring her back to bed with me. She would cuddle down 'neath the covers where it was snug and warm and sing me to sleep. This went on all winter. One night in the early spring I awoke with a start, Sadie was cuffing my face with her paw. Seeing that she had succeeded in waking me she started purring and rubbing against meg then plunk! She had dropped something onto my pillow. After feeling and groping blindly I 1950 around for a few minutes' I found a cold, clammy object. I turned on the light and to my horror and surprise there lay a dead mouse. I picked it up very carefully by the extreme end of the tail and Hung it onto the floor. Feeling more at ease I climbed back into bed. I had just settled myself comfortably when Sadie again appeared with her mouse. I repeated my performance, only this time I made sure that I got the mouse into the hall. Sadie's feelings were dreadfully hurt as this was her gift with which she was expressing her appreciation for the warm bed I had provided for her during the long and cold winter nights. Nevertheless she didn't give up trying. As a last resort I sat on the floor with her, praised her for catching such a nice fat mouse, and succeeded in pursuading her that she, not I, should eat it. Sylvia Douglass '50 MY FIRST HERO WORSHIP Oh, Phyllis, isn't he a dream! I said as my best chum and I sat watching the movie, Hollywood Canteen. Phyllis just gave a drippy sounding sigh and rolled her eyes. If I recall correctly, we were about thirteen and were just awakening to the fact that there was an opposite sex, which was perfectly natural. The silly part of it was that our first big crush on a movie star instead of some boy our was own age. Yes, we worshipped Lon McAllister fthe poor manj from the time we saw him in his first movie. Walking home after that marvelous movie, I got a crazy notion in my head, and when I suggested the idea to Phyllis we both agreed to try it. The next day we both wrote a long, loving letter to our Lon and told him how he had thrilled us to death by sending chills up and down our spines. We asked him if he might answer personally and enclose an autographed photo. We just couldn't wait until we received a reply. After what seemed like a century, the telephone rang and there was a squeeky, excited female voice on the other end. It was Phyllis. She had just received a letter from Lon and an autographed photo. Words can't tell how thrilled we were! Then I began to wonder why I had not heard from my dream-boat. Days 33 and weeks passed, but still I received no reply and I finally gave up in despair. With every cent that Phyllis and I could lay our hands on we purchased movie magazines which contained large colored pictures of Lon. The walls of our bedrooms were covered with pictures of our heart-throbg we had pictures under our pillows, we kissed his pictures good- night: we dreamed of him all night long. After all, we were thirteen and he was only twenty, and single- not that it made much difference, of course! I can't rightly recall how many times we sat through, or should I say swooned through, Home in Indiana. After that movie our enthu- siasm was at its greatest degree and we decided to send for a large, expensive studio picture of Lon. Phyllis and I took days discussing this wonderful picture of Our Enchanter, Our Master, the one Man of our Dreams. First, one of us would give a sigh, a swoony moan, and utter a few words, and then the other. Oh! I-Ie's slam-georgousll' this from Phyllis. He's simply a super dreamboatln Ooh! He's sooo adorable, so wonderful, so thrilling, so exciting, so manly, so. . . lust think how slam-georgously wonderful it would be if someday he were to be all mine! No, no, mine, mine, a thousand times mine, then a gurgleg then a low sigh. Can't you just imagine me living with such an out-of- the-world creature? Ild wait on him hand and foot. I'd work my finger to the bone. I'd wor- ship him. Ild . . . ooh, such a manly, marvelous, adorable hunk of man he is. Why I'd even . . . No, Phyllis, no, I cannot share my lover with you. Somehow we shall meet and then . . . You wouldn't get along well together. You'd fight like men and women. He was cut out for me. Why, we were meant for each otherf, Listen, here, I said . . . That's what you think, I'll . . . Why, he gives me the goose-bumps! But we can't both have him. No, just me, I'll . . . This went on for several months. As I think back into the past, I wonder how I 1950 we could have been so silly, so idiotic, so disgust- ingly childish, so madly in love at such a tender age. I'm positive that we have learned a lesson. We certainly were stupid, weren't we? 8 if 1 ll 8 Ooh, how excited I am! I just finished look- ing at a movie magazine and it stated that Lon McAllister is looking for a wife. Maybe there's a chance for me after all! ! I Peggy Watson '50 THE SECOND HALF OF THE 20th CENTURY No one can know what the last fifty years of the 20th Century will bring forth, but we can guess. The main topic for discussion and conversa- tion is atomic power and what it will do to us or for us. It can work either way-for us or against us. Used constructively, it can provide endless benefits for humanity, used destructively, it can destroy us. The use of the atomic power may be outlawed, to me that is the most logical solution. Another conjecture is the possibility of war. It seems a real menace. Whether it will come soon or not remains a question, but it looks inevitable sometime within the next fifty years. Research will find cures for many diseases. Big steps will be taken towards eliminating cancer, heart disease, and infantile paralysis. Our lives will become more streamlined. Our kitchen appliances, our cars, our homes, our way of living will all fall into the pattern. Many people paint a very black picture of the next fifty years. But we have managed to survive so far, and I imagine we will continue to do so. Althea Woodcock '51 MY NOTION OF A WORTH-WHILE IOB While I was listening to the Original Amateur Hour on the radio last evening, I was very much impressed by a chanter of prayers. He expressed his emotions so well that he gave me a wonder- ful feeling of being near God. His prayers left me entangled in deep thought about this wondrous universe of ours. What insignificant beings we are, and what a great power must rule over us! How far we are from the truth about life! Iesus Christ and the other famous religious leaders tried to leave a message that would help us to understand some of these things to a greater extent. Theirs was the satisfaction of a worth-while job. They gave themselves to humanity and led us ever onward by being our servants. Their reward was not money, but, after all, is money everything? The satisfac- tion of knowing you have helped someone to understand is a more comfortable feeling than the one you get from earning a large sum of money. Of course, this is true only if you have the right outlook on life. Anyone who serves mankind will receive full benefit from his humbleness. I might add that the time is ripe for another such leader to spring from our midst, for one who serves others in such a fashion is really that. He also will obtain the rich and plentiful fruits of a job worth having. Myles Brown ,52 AN UNFORGETTABLE CHARACTER Probably all people have at least one person who stands out in their minds as great. I cer- tainly have. Grammie Holt was an elderly lady who lived in my town many years and was called Grammie by most people. She was very active, and pleasant looking with her snow white hair and a bright smile for everyone. Grammie was very hard of hearing, but she always kept cheerful in spite of this handicap. Grammie I-Iolt enjoyed having young people come in to visit her and always had many interesting experiences fabout her childhood, to tell them. I can remember her telling how as a young girl she had wanted to go skating, but that young girls in those days were thought to be unlady like if they indudged in that sport. She said, Finally, that she used to get up very early in the morning to skate before anyone else was awake for this was the sport she enjoyed the most during her youth. As long ago as I remember visiting her, Grammie used to show me the pretty mittens she had made and continued to make even after her eyesight grew poor. Grammie had very good health for a lady of 1950 97 years. But she slowly failed and when pneumonia developed, she was not strong enough to stand its rigors. I have missed her very much and think of her often as I go by the home where she lived. I shall never forget the joy Grammie got out of the little things in life's path. Leona Bryant '50 MODERN ADVERTISING Some of the advertisements sung over the radio are certainly boring. lust as I was listen- ing to my favorite thrilling mystery story in which the detective is trapped in a burning house, a voice breaks in with, Now a word from our sponsor. Then in an excited voice as if announcing a discovery more important than radium, he says, Do you want lusterous hair? If so, use FLUFFY DUFF SHAM- POO. It will make your hair soft and natural looking. Now isn't that disgusting? Who cares about fancy shampoos, when a detective is trapped in a burning house? I-Ie continues, The cover girls and movie stars all say that FLUFFY DUFF is the shampoo for them. Will the detective be rescued? Will he catch the villain? Still his voice goes on, Buy a bottle today and have soft, lustrous, natural-looking hair. Nervously I wait and hope he will escape. On and on goes the voice, Guaranteed to do all we advertise or double your money back. Now hack to our story. The telephone rings so I'll have to turn off the radio and answer it. By the time I get back the program will be over! If only the advertisement hadn't taken up so much time, I might have known if the detectife escaped and caught the villain! Ianice Trask '53 NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS This year I resolve to-oh, no, I can't do that, so I guess it will have to he: I will be nice to my brother and will not Fight with him, I will help Mom in all housework and other things, I will keep my room cleaned up at all times. Now they are all made and I shall not break them. My brother and I just had an old fashioned pow wow. I-Ie consumed the better half of a cake I had baked for Sunday Dinner. I guess it would have gone on all night except for Mom who baked another cake and saved the day. Gee, there goes the phone, it must be Phyllis. It was, and she wants me to hurry over. They are all ready and I'll have to rush. I was clean- ing up my room, but I guess that can wait until later -oh, no, she asked me to stay over. Well, The 2nd was the there goes the 3rd resolution. most important and I have kept that, and will really try hard not to break it---I won't break it. Ioan Waugh '51 MY MOST EXCITING RIDE One day I suddenly came to the decision that I would like to be an equestrienne. As the nearest riding horse was in Farmington, I called a friend and -together we started for Currier's Riding Stable. After finding the owner, a small, elderly woman, we went to the stable to choose our horses. Because we had never ridden, she decided to let us have two of her gentlest animals. When she led them out to be saddled, I saw what I had visioned as a lofty steed to be an awkward looking animal with skin so tight that most of his bones showed. I swallowed a slight disappointment and mounted this creature called Pete who cer- tainly was gentle. Slowly and deliberately he stepped over the lowered bars and meandered down the lane. Ambling along, I was thinking, Such a peaceful pastime! Pete is so gentle fif he isn't beautifulj. I think-, when my thoughts ended suddenly. Two boys were using this quiet lane for a race track. I managed to get out of the way, how I don't know. Did I say my horse was slow? The next thing I knew, I was part of the race, and lead- ing, too! Down the lane we dashed, gathering momentum with every step. The boys, knowing that I was an inexperienced rider, tried to catch up, but Pete couldn't be convinced to quit even when he was winning. I had heard that if you wanted to calm your horse, you should talk 1950 . g soothingly to him. My soothing talk consisted of two words Whoa, Pete! Whoa, Pete! repeated over and over. The boys echoed my pleas. They were getting worried. Pete was heading for the stable. We got to the gate and over we went, the bars were down, but Pete, as if reading my mind, was determined to prove to me that he was more than a bag of bones. So he jumped the gate. The manager had heard the shouts and was coming down the path. Pete slowed and stopped at her command, standing perfectly still while the others rode up, full of excitement. Five minutes later my friend arrived on her gentle horse. I sat on Pete for a few uncertain moments, then dismounted very carefully, knowing my knees would be weak. As we set out for home, I silently resolved to Find better pastimes. Ioyce Rand '50 FUTURE PLANS All through the years of school a student pays little atten-tion to his future. He has studying to do and a few odd jobs at home, but he is free from care most of the time. When the snow melts away and the birds start coming back it is spring. Seniors start to plan a class trip and the class speakers are hard at work. Only then do you really begin to think about the future. All at once your mind begins to do the work that it should have been doing in past years. The biggest question is Shall I go on to school? This is hard to answer unless you are sure of what you want to do. If you decide not to go to school you must decide what work you will do for it must be something you like and will do well. It is hard to know which to do because you are doing considerable thinking in a short time. No one can tell you. This is a decision that you must make. Nature many times is cruel. Experience is the best teacher, so they say. You must try something and should you fail, you will find it necessary to try something else. Later you will know. You may not be too great a success, but may you not be too great a failure. Richard Hall '50 MY MOST EXCITING RIDE Ever since I can remember I have been a lover of horses and always have been teasing my father to get some kind of a riding horse. When I was about fourteen I came home from school one night to find that my father had a western paint pony in the barn for me. I was informed that he was already called Ginger i' and would stay in the barn until he became accustomed to the new owners and surround- ings. I think it was about a week later when my parents finally let me ride Ginf' who hadn't been turned loose during this time. When I swung into the saddle late one afternoon, at dusk, I was mounting a high spirited white- eyed bundle of power. Before I had picked up the reins or hardly hit the saddle, we were off, I with only one foot in a stirrup, and no reins, and Gin headed straight for the stone wall with a bank on the opposite side. After leaning over Ginger's outstretched neck to get the reins I caught my balance in time to swing him up the hill and let him go. By this time his stomach had reduced to normal, mak- ing the saddle loose enough for the saddle blanket to slide out from underneath and go fiying behind. Mother, who was watching, was scared to death as she saw us go through the orchard gate into the next field which was also all up hill. By the time we had gotten to the top field, Ginger was willing to stop, and, looking around, he decided he'd like to go into the pasture. I decided he wouldn't for it was now quite dark. After much arguing I convinced him to go back through the fields. I could see my father coming hurriedly through the orchard gateway. It was not until I met Dad and we had stopped to talk, that I noticed the saddle blanket was nissing. So dismounting and starting back on foot looking for it, I found it not far from the hurried take-off. This was only our first ride together, those that followed were not so exciting. Evelyn Paine '50 NEW LIFE At last we are witnessing again that wonder- ful period in the course of the earth when nature throws off her greying cloak of winter and calls forth the brilliant gay colors of spring. A great 1950 - many have written on this picturesque subject, and because of its irresistible appeal, I cannot refrain from writing on it also. To me, spring is not just another season of the year. It is an awakening of the sleepy, nodding, buds of the flowers and trees, a calling forth of the rolling green grass, and a beckoning to the colorful, harmonizing chorus of song-birds. Not only is spring an awakening of our physical senses, but it stirs up those spiritual senses which lie hidden in the recesses of our innermost being. I love to observe my Father's handiwork and realize that He gave all this beauty to such an unworthy child as I, that I might enjoy the works of His hands and return thanks and praise to Him. It makes my heart bubble up with joy and sends a sweet peace Hooding over my soul. Truly, spring is a renewal of spiritual senses and a time of intimate fellowship with our Maker. With spring, there comes to me a longing for freedom from the distresses and troubles of this life and a desire to break loose every bond of care which would bind my heart and keep me from finding all the beauty that my hungry soul desires. Walls seem like prisons, and a yearning to live my whole life in the beautiful out-of-doors that God has created stirs within my heart. Oh, to be able to breathe every moment the sweet, delicate fragrance of the spring Howersg to hear, always the soft melodious notes of a rushing rivulet of water as it scurries hurriedly on past banks of clean, sweet-smelling earth, to be able to run, and jump, and throw back my head and laugh with glee as a little child would do, for so we are little children of the Savior iff we know and love Him. How often we miss this great wealth' of beauty around us, because we do not take time to carefully observe it. But if we stop and regard this growing beauty with eyes thirsty for a satisfying picture, we shall drink in the inexhaustible and incomprehensible wealth of beauty that lies at our fingertips. If I should lift my eyes to heaven and say, Truly, 'He hath given us richly all things to enjoy,' I am sure that the growing life about me would echo a reverent Amen. Dorothea Packard '51 THE IMPORTANCE OF A GOOD EDUCATION Years ago a person felt very forunate if he had the chance to attend school for even a few years. Then only a very few people went to high school. The times have changed, however, and now everyone is compelled by law to attend grade school, and most people graduate from high school. The people who don't try to complete four years in high school, I am sure, do not realize what this education would mean to them in later life. To begin with, after a person is out on his own he finds it necessary to get a job. The person who felt that he had all the schooling he needed after he graduated from grammar school now begins to realize that he was wrong. One of the Iirst questions asked a person apply- ing for a job is whether he attended high school and, if so, how many years. Naturally the high school graduate will have first chance at the job. Another fact to be considered is the record you make for yourself in high school. Often when applying for a job the employer will ask for your high school records. The person who attended high school and made a good record there now realizes that his time was not wasted. In conclusion I will say, If you are in doubt as to whether you should finish high school, stick with it. It will mean a lot to you in later lifef' Keith Collins '51 A BRIEF ESSAY ON OUR TROUBLED SOCIETY Because we are human, we are be-set on all sides by the necessity for making choices. Per- haps more in this day and age than in any other is this important. There are various manifestations of this feature of our modern society. For example, the atomic bomb is a topic of current discussion and one can easily see the great potentialities either good or bad which can be realized from this, man's greatest conquest. However, for the purpose of lighter reading, I am choosing a less somber subject for this discourse, namely, radio programs. Americans -have, in radio, a great advantage over most other countries. We, however, must make the choice as to whether or not radio can benefit us, whether we will allow it to be a ' 1950-T ' benefit rather than a detriment. Since you can easily see the possible advantages of having radio programs for the public, I am going to point out a disadvantage, how it warps the minds of our people and makes fools of them. Listening to the radio is a pretty good pastime, but we should not give it precedence over more real and concrete phases of life. How many times have you seen a person rush from an assemblage of perfectly good company in order to keep a seven o'clock appointment with a comedian? There are people who dote on soap operas, too. You enter their abode and hear them gossiping about someone. About the time you get interested in their talk, you find out they are talking only about the trials and tribulations of Stella Dallas or David Harem. Have you ever entered a home and found an entire family, eyes wide and hair on end, crouched around a screaming radio? They are listening to a mystery story, that is, a nightmare with sound effects. Probably most of these people are the same ones who constantly visit their doctors with complaints of insomnia. I classify all these psychologist's delights as addicts They are addicted to their radios. You can't ask them to do anything that involves being sociable or leaving their houses because they can't desert their hero stranded there among those awful men without at least having the courtesy to stay by their receiver and hear her screams. You may question my qualifications for mak- ing these observations, but if you just take a look at the various people around you, I'm sure that you can spot some of these characters. Maybe even you are one of them. Herbert Melendy '51 SPRING IS HERE I-Iow many pictures the one word, spring, conveys to our minds--birds chattering in the trees, seed catalogues lying on the table and fresh cool breezes from open windows gently moving curtains. Spring seems to be the hap- piest time of year for it is then that people become newly aware of the world about them. People are already busy planning excursions to their favorite fishing streams and camping sites. All the fishing equipment has been hauled out of the closet and given an anxious examina- tion. Everything must be ready. Voices can be heard across the field where all the children in the neighborhood have gathered to try out their new bats and gloves. Sis has made a wreck of the shed getting her bike out from under the boxes, newspapers, cans, and other miscellaneous items piled on top of it. Dad is also out there trying to uncover his hoe and rake. After all, he figures, there's no time like the present. Mother brustles about in a large enveloping apron and with a towel around her head. Her pockets bulge with dusters and old rags for cleaning while in her hands are brooms, mops, and brushes. Itis time for house cleaning and no one's hoarded treasures are safe. Sis is wail- ing because her shoe box full of school papers from way back has been thrown away and little brother is sure he'd have found a use for all those bird feathers he's been saving. Dad is glowering suspiciously because he can't find one of his numerous old pipes. In the morning one awakes to the sound of birds chattering in the trees outside the window. Sunlight streams through the curtains. Outside, blades of fresh green grass peep through the ground and leaf buds feather the trees. The water in the brook goes tumbling merrily over the rocks refiecting the blue of the sky overhead. The whole world seems to say, Isn't it wonder- ful to be alive? It's spring! Nancy Collins '51 MAKE UP HER MIND Q- Another in the Series of Self Criticisms -j I'm tryin' the best I can. Iust give me a cqiple o' more seconds to think, says I to the clerk of the hardware store. There I was, scratching my head, and tapping a few nervous toes while holding my chin from dropping onto the floor with my thumb and forefinger, simultaneously turning my precious brains into a milk-churn trying to formulate a decision. Make up yer mind, the lighter or the darker shade of green? he repeated. The lighter green paint, I guess, said I, much annoyed with the clerk and more dis- 38 ' 1950 gusted with myself. He wouldn't even give me time to flip a coin or use the process of elimina- tion. I had chosen the first shade that came to mind. Suddenly a brilliant thought flashed across my brain. lust a minute, give me both kinds. The clerk went into a slough of despair and reluctantly obtained both shades of green. Satisfied? he said with a smirk as he planted the cans slowly but firmly on the counter. After I paid him, I picked up the cans and started for home. Upon my arrival, What did you get two cans for? What took you so long? - And, oh, yes, why didn't you get the right color - blue? I didn't stand up under the barrage very well, I'm afraid. However, time soon healed the hurt so that the only scar is the unpleasant memories that return to me. Impatient store clerks are a phobia with me and, vice versa, however, I 'have avoided them as much as possible and I guess they appreciate ir. Glendon Cook '50 MY IMPRESSIONS OF NEW YORK CITY New York is the city of dazzling lights and dizzy sky-scrapers. It is a city where life goes on in the same brisk manner twenty-four hours of the day. If you stood on a busy street corner, you would see people from all walks of life rushing in every direction. People are streaming out of the subways and more people are going in. Did you ever hear anyone mention how crowded subways are? Well, believe me, they were telling the truth! One of the most thrilling and exciting spectacles of New York City is walking along Broadway and Times Square at night. The lure of the theatre district in this area would be so great that you would probably End yourself at a play before the evening is over. The Statue of Liberty is another unforgettable sight. It appears to be a very impressive figure looming up in the distance as you slowly approach it on the ferry. The thrill really comes while ascending the spiral staircase to the top. From her majestic crown one can grasp the breath-taking panorama of the land and water below. It is then you experience the same feel- ing as thousands before you have felt as they themselves Hrst saw it upon arriving in America. Norman Neil '50 AN UNUSUAL HOBBY One of my friends has a very unusual hobby. It is collecting frightful and hideous-looking bugs! His mother and sister didn't approve of having those things hanging around the house, so when Bob came home he found his beau- tiful specimens of bugs in the waste can. Look here, Bob, his mother said, I'm tired of having all those miserable jars of bugs around the house! They're everywhere. When I open my hatbox to get a good hat, I find a bottle of grasshoppers. When I reach for a jar of prunes, I get a handful of crickets. I'm just going to throw those things out. That afternoon his mother entertained a group of women at bridge and right at the table where Bob had planned to mount his insects. He was down in the basement getting together his six hundred and Hfty specimens when screams of It bit mel It bit mel I declare it bit meln reached his ears. I-Ie ran up the stairs five steps at a time, and stared in amazement. His best and prettiest specimen of the dragon fly was sitting right on the edge of the chair which one of the ladies was occupying. His mother looked sharply at him, so he quickly picked up the offender and left the room. He could hear Sis laughing in the hall and right away he knew that she had performed that prank. He'd get even with her. But after this event, Bob's collection was never allowed out of the basement. Iune Lagerson '53 1950 c -XC anges Mussul Unsquit - Strong High School, Strong, Maine.

Other schools in the State that are members in the independent school group are Bridgton Academy, Cheverus, Coburn Classical Institute, Gould Academy, Hebron Academy, Kents Hill, Maine Central Institute, North Yarmouth Academy, and Waynflete School. There are twenty-four high schools in Maine that are members of the public secondary group. The object of the association is the advance- ment of the cause of education in the colleges and secondary schools of New England. Mr. Keay attended the meetings of this association at the Hotel Statler in Boston, last December 2-3. 1950 OFFICE GIRLS The ofifice girls 'have worked efficiently all year with Beverly Macomber as head office girl.

Miss Macomber works hard in the planning of these meals so that they provide a well- balanced diet. This year a new system of bringing the trays hack from each home room after lunch has worked out very satisfactorily. TRAFFIC SQUAD With Laurence Whitney as manager, the traffic squad has performed its duties well. Besides preventing accidents and directing traffic around the building, they guided the parents and friends who visited the Academy at Night School and helped the freshmen during their first few weeks of school. The members of the squad, who are elected twice during a semester, are selected by members of the Student Council. FRESHMAN RECEPTION In the afternoon of October 15th, the Fresh- man parade lead by the Wilton Academy Band and Majorettes, marched from the Wilton Trust Company to the Colby Athletic field where the Wilton-Farmington football game was played. In the evening the Freshman Reception attracted a large crowd of friends, students, and parents. The Freshmen were welcomed by the receiv- ing line, consisting of Faculty Members and the Social Committee. Each Freshman participated in the various activities that comprised the program. A few of the highlights of the even- ing were Eugene Toothaker's serenading Francis Dyke, by singing, Lemme Kiss Ya, A Beauty Contest, consisting of boys, Acrobatic dancing, by Iune Smith and Glenda Ledger, and A Box- ing Match, consisting of both boys and girls. Refreshments were served and dancing concluded the evening's program.

SCIENCE FAIR One activity in which few schools in this area participate is the Annual Science Fair and Congress sponsored by the Maine Principals Association. Wilton Academy gained state wide honor and publicity this year because Laurence Whitney won top honors in the Physics Depart- ment. Here is one extra-curricular activity where smaller schools can compete successfully with larger schools and come out on top. two sections. first an round where the best and their projects are chosen to go to the State Hnals held the follow- ing week. Wilton Academy was represented in the finals by 10031, of her contestants in the regional round. Every student gained some place here. Gilbert Keay and Laurence Whitney tied for first place in Physics, Mary Ellen Adams and Lois Haley were chosen as alternates in Biology. The competition was intense in both of these Fields but our budding scientists showed that they had a thorough knowledge of their respective subjects. This was the Hrst time in competition for the girls who had to pit their efforts against the largest field of the day at Lewiston High School. Mary and Lois became interested in slides, the study of them, and how to construct them. They demonstrated the technique that was used in preparing, mounting, and staining specimens for study. These slides were shown to the audience and judges by means of a micro projector. A very respectable third place was awarded them for this, their Hrst attempt. i I ' The fair is run in elimination or regional of the young scientists Gilbert-'Kea-y constructed a Van de Graaff electrostatic generator, a model of the one f .

He tied for first place at Lewiston with his classmate, Laurence Whitney. The rewards of time and hard work were realized by Laurence when he was chosen first in the State in Physics. An expense paid trip for two days at the New England Science Fair in Boston plus a tuition scholarship to any Maine College were his personal rewards. A beautiful placque for the school was also given to him. His demonstration consisted of a photo-electric cell or eye with which he very ably demonstrated its uses as a burglar alarm, fire watcher' with siren attachment, a selector for colored balls, and several other intriguing exhibitions. Wilton Academy is very proud of her young scientists who brought success to the school and to themselves with their research in science. This is only part of the value received, however. The stimulating competition, the knowledge gained by study and from watching others, and the actual gain and losses help prepare them for life on the outside, a lesson which can't be measured in dollars. Already other science students who have been inspired by the success of these four are prepar- ing to carry on with their favorite topics next year. This type of work is an excellent begin- ning, leading to a life occupation for many in the varied fields of science.

The prizes are: first 155000, second 151100, and third lS10.00, all three of which are to be presented at commencement. The winners last year were: First: Esther Packard, Second Lyman Toothaker, Third, Norman Neil. EAGLET BOARD The Eaglet Board with Gilbert Keay as its Editor-in-chief has put out many attractive papers this year. This is the First year that students have done all the typing and everyone is proud of the results. The first copy was distributed on September 30. Since then, each class has had the opportu- nity to edit one issue and several holiday editions were printed. 1950 FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA Front Row, left to right: N. York, A, Sabino, M.

There are 34 members, I2 of whom were initiated last fall. The group meets during the Eighth Period on the first and third Monday of each month. The local chapter has belonged to the Na- tional Future Homemakers of America for three years. Several members assisted Miss Macomber in serving a dinner to the Winter Carnival par- ticipants and officials, and a banquet for the Future Farmers of America.

Ivan Crouse A program of work committee was formed at this time and the activities of the year were decided upon before the first night meeting which was held the first week of October. The chapter attended Fryeburg Fair, taking part in and placing high in the Dairy Cattle and Beef Cattle contests. Richard Hall took home 55.00 prize money for his third place in the Beef contest. Members of the chapter were present at the district meeting which was held this year at Fryeburg Academy. Willard Douglas and Wayne Smith served as chapter delegates. Also during the school year, the chapter will attend the district contests at Norway, and the state contests at Orono. The possibility of a chapter basketball team was discussed from time to time. Because of limited facilites, it was decided not to sponsor a team this year, but to have four intramural squads, allowing all members an opportunity to play. Two chapter projects have been completed at the present time, one a survey of the farms in this vicinity to determine what a typical Franklin County farm would be, the second project being the construction of a ski hut for the Wilton Ski Club. The highlight of the entire year was the annual Father and Son Banquet which was held the 8th of February and was attended by 85 members and guests. An excellent meal was served by Miss Macomber and the Home Economics girls. The guest speaker of the evening was Mr. Iohn Snell, Department of Vocational Education, Augusta. At the banquet, Mr. Glenn Mosher was presented with a scroll and pin to designate his selection as Honorary Future Farmer of the year. GLEE CLUB The Glee Club is ably conducted by Mrs. Leah T. Petersen and accompanied by Miss Edna F. Bailey. This large group of 101 members practiced eighth periods every Tuesday and Wednesday for the Gay Nineties presentation, the concert in May, and the festivals. In Place of the usual Christmas concert, the Gay Nineties show was presented Ianuary 12th with great success, the gymnasium being overcrowded with onlookers. The dances were directed by Mrs. Mary Vanderhoff and accom- panied by Iames Armstrong. Plans for the participation at the festivals in May are being discussed again this year. The group will attend the State Festival in Augusta on May 13th. The annual concert is to be May llth at the Academy gym at which time Mrs. Petersen will present the Chorus in the follow- ing program: 1950 ORCHESTRA First Row, left to right: Madeline Ranger, Robert Williams, Joseph Gould, Robert Saw- telle, Clarice Cook, Grace Brooks, Colleen Rand, Gladys Knox.

The Student Council members and the upper- classmen escorted the boys and girls to various classes as well as on a tour of the building. A hot lunch was served to the visitors by Miss Macomber and her assistants. A special chapel and an assembly program was arranged as a part of the day's program. WINTER CARNIVAL On February 4th, Wilton Academy held its annual Winter Carnival. Schools participating in the events were Iay, Rangeley, Kingfield, Farmington, and Wilton. Saturday morning at 9:30 the various winter sports teams met at the Academy to start the snow events. At noon the contestants and officials were served dinner by Miss Macomber and her assistants. After lunch the events continued at the Wilton Ski Tow with Wilton Academy coming out on top with 41 points. Kingfield placed second, and Farmington, third. That evening the Town Hall was the scene of the Carnival Ball. At 10:00 P. M. the Coronation of Geraldine Iudkins as Queen took place and Keene Swett captured the King's Throne by receiving the most points in the snow events. Ribbons for the first three places were presented to the winners by the Queen. DRUM MAIORETFES The squad of majorettes, which is now seven in number, has had a very busy year leading the band in parades, performing at concerts. recitals, and at the Franklin County Basketball Tournament. Some of the girls hold regular classes at East Wilton Grammar School in giving the younger children instruction in baton twirl- ing. The girls have recently had new uniforms made with the money earned from their barn dance last spring. This year they are earning money by bringing weekly dues to their club meetings and by sponsoring another dance. There has been quite an attraction added to the squad this year. Little Donna lean Smith, age six, is the faithful' mascot of the girls. She assists them in most of their activities, and she really does a grand job! The head majorette, Gerry Iudkins, is assisted by Dorothy L. Douglass, Vera Knox, Ianet Reed. Sondra Smith, Peggy Watson, Ioan Waugh, and Donna lean Smith, Mascot. CHEERLEADERS The cheerleaders, with Miss Clemons as their advisor and Phyllis Potter as their leader, really backed the W. A. team this year. Beverly Wagner and Louise Neil were added to the squad at the beginning of the year. These six girls composed several new cheers av motions to accompany them. We all know they practiced long, hard hours this year to achieve their precision and skill. The Wilton Woolen Company donated cloth for new uniforms, snappy white jackets and navy blue skirts. ln addition. the cheerleaders purchased some white and navy blue coat sweaters. 1950 EAGLET BOARD First Row, left to right: C.

ORCHESTRA Under Mr. Knowles' fine direction, the or- chestra has had another worthwhile and success- ful year. These student musicians have met for practice every Monday morning during Eighth Period. The group has played at several school func- tions including the four one-act plays. and will furnish music at Last Chapel and at Commence- ment. DANCE ORCHESTRA The dance orchestra has been practicing every Sunday afternoon at the Academy. Under the direction of Mr. Otho Knowles this group. which is comprised of fifteen student musicians, does a line job in playing popular selections. The orchestra has not yet furnished music for our school dances this year but with a little more practice they will be capable of doing so. BAND Wilton Academy has reason to be proud of its hne band which is under the competent direction of Otho Knowles. With their smart navy and white uniforms, our hand members appear as an outstanding group. The band members were busy throughout their summer vacation as they were in constant demand to play for several occasions. They played in Wilton, North lay, Kingtield, and Rangeley for Memorial services: at Old Orchard for the American Legion Conventiong they led the parade on Firemenis Field Day in Iuly: and. the colorful doll carriage parade in Rangeley. ln the month of May our band traveled to Auburn to the Eastern Maine Music Festival and to Old Orchard for the New England Music Festival. They received superior rating at the New England Festival. They sponsored band concerts at Monument Square. marched on tag days. played at Football and Field Hockey games, and led the Higgledy-Piggledy parade. This group was a feature attraction at the Franklin County Basketball Tournament in February where the group has performed for several consecutive years. Vile are indeed proud of the splendid work done by our band and its fine director. 1950 Fx ffm PHYSICS LAB to right: R. Lvzlch, I.. Whitney, M. Adams, R. Jollison, K. Swott, G. Cook, G.

In the boys' second game, they faced the Madison Bull Dogs and were defeated by that spirited team, 33-0. Madison scored 21 points during the last six minutes of the game.

The varsity squad won six games of the eleven that they played. There are many letter girls to return next fall and help make next year a successful one. BOYS' VARSITY BASKETBALL With only two veterans left from last year's team, the Eagles, under the coaching of Eugene Hunter, put up a brave struggle, but were defeated in the majority of the games. How- ever, our newcomers gained much experience during the season and will go on next year to improve on the record of this year's team.
