Many new club members have been elected and have shown a good deal of talent. In the modern high school dramatics has a place in achieving many of the aims of education. First, it gives a student poise, and self confidence which mean much in later life. Second, it teaches the technique of speaking with emphasis, invaluable to any student. Third, it offers students opportunities to develop originality in acting. Dra- matics aside from these three. aids stu- dents in familiarizing themselves with the best in past and present drama. During the year our Dramatics Club has sponsored or encouraged a number of productions. The club, early in the year presented, Here Comes Patricia. The faculty joined the students in pro- ducing a humorous play, The Deestrick Skule , in Februarv. Another interest- ing and beneficial experiment has been the broadcasting of one play a month over radio station WRDO in Augusta. These plays are prepared for schools by Joseph B. Egan, editor of the Egan Monthly Journal of Character Training. The radio plays provide training for those interested in radio as a vocation. In the spring our club entered a One- Act play production, David Copperfield Visits His Aunt , in a district contest held at Leavitt Institute at Turner. The participation in contests of this kind in- spires the competitors to work harder and gives them an opportunity to com- pare their work with others in the same class. The dramatic contribution of the Senior class this year was a successful comedy, Sally-Lou. It has been a year in which many, rather than a few have had an oppor- tunity to find and develop talent in the field of acting in, and producing stage productions. Lucille Frost '36.

It is so varied and so stead- fast, so loyal and so critical, so deep and so light. It contradicts itself, but it is always there, clear, yet difficult to express. There are so manv phrases to friend- ship. It may be personal, an inter- change of private thoughts. It may be in business, where two well-known cap- italists find amusement in meeting and talking economics over their cigars. Or it may be social, when people simply like each other for a good time. But it is so necessary! Necessary for any kind of mental or physical advance. Most of all necessary for our happiness. It is nice to believe in the completeness of' self-dependence, but, as somebody has said, What is life without a friend to dissipate our gloom! However suc- cessful we may seem to be in self-reli- ance, in every life the1'e is a time when we become disgusted with our very own souls, when we are twisted by our own snug ambition. Then we need someone who will both tear us down and build us up, but who will finally restore to us the confidence we have lost. Yet, too many times, a friend be- comes a sort of doormat to which we turn only in times of repentance or -if , need. We forget friends, when we don't need them. Still, we always need friends! Why is it, then, that we can't all of us take the attitude of Words- worth, who nobly exclaims: Small ser- vice is true service while it lasts-of humblest friends, bright creature, scorn not one! . . . ? ' The only answer, of course. is selfish- ness. I think there is a certain amount of selfishness in everyone. Sometimes we are not aware of our selfishness, which doesn't necessarily take the form of grabbing everything, or conceit. Maybe we need selfishness. It is too much for me to figure out. At any rate, this vice for virtueb is a distinct handicap to friendship. In being f'riends ' you've got to forget yourself, put yourself in the other fel- low's place. You can't depend on the magnetism of your own character to attract others. Reason No. 1, magnet- ism, even in a genius, is said to be er- ratic. Reason No. 2, your friends are just as selfish as you are, and Want to consider themselves once in a while. As Emerson says: The only way to have a friend is to be one. Some people believe that we choose our friends out of respect for their character. I doubt it. I think we do choose our friends because of similarity 14 WINTHROP WINNER in character. Respect, one finds, isn't always friendship. Respect generally means looking up to a person, and it would be rather hard to meet that per- son on a mutual level. Friendships are not built on an inferiority complex. On the other hand, friends often help one to overcome one's own faults. La- Bryce explains this when he says: In friendship we . . . see those faults which may be prejudicial to our friends. After all, friendship doesn't need all these explanations, defenses, etc. Any person lucky enough to have experi- enced the depth of true friendship knows that it is too splendid to require a definition. Marjorie Collins, '37 Which College Which college is a statement heard everywhere. It's a very, difficult prob- lem to solve, but if given great thought and consideration it can be solved. Some people think that a degree is a degree of superiority. Some think it's a key to happiness. It is, for a few, but not for everyone. College is just an opportunity. It helps prepare one for his life work. If the life work you have chosen needs no college preparation, then it would be a waste of time going. There are boys and girls who are very sensitive. Therefore they should not choose a college with many import- ant fraternitiesg because if they were not asked to join they might be very unhappy, and they would spend four miserable years. Some boys and girls are too socially inclined. If this is the case a boy should be sent to a boys' col- lege and a girl should be sent to a girls' college. If they were mixed there would be altogether too many social meetings and not enough studying. If a person is shy he should be sent to a co-educational school where mixing with both sexes will rid one of shyness. A country person should be sent to a city college Where he can learn city methods. A city person should be sent to a country college that he may learn of the different methods of living. It will give them a broader View of life. In choosing the college, you should find out what the college can give you. As an example: If you Wish to be .a Physical Education teacher, you should not go to a school that excels in medi- cine. Go to a Physical Education School. In preparing for a college, find out the college requirements and take the subjects required. There are many ways in which to get to college. If your family is poor, that is not a good excuse for not going. There are many loan funds and there is also ample employnrent to be found. If you decide to go to college-Go! Don't let anything prevent you. Where there is a will, there's a way. Antoinette Dostie, '37 Italy At the present, if I should mention the country Italy, the very first thing that would come into your mind would be war, Let us picture Italy in our minds now, but let us banish the thought of war and picture some of the beautiful characteristics of Italy. What would be more pleasing than to ride along a winding road of a sunny ,moun- tainside in Southern Italy. A mountain- side covered with tall trees, shrubs, row upon row of vines burdened with lus- cious purple grapes, and a mountainside dotted with red tile roofs covering white stucco houses. Then what would be more pleasant than to stop by one of these quaintstucco houses, buy a small basket of grapes from an old man and pause for a moment to watch the bright sun-shining faces of men. women and children at work picking handful after handful of grapesand laying 'chemin large low baskets to be carried down the mountainside by girls miraculously bal- ancing the baskets on their heads. Ima- gine yourself pausing to gaze over the beautiful, blue .. Mediterranean which makes ayistriking background for 'a red WINTHROP HIGH SCHOOL 15 or white sail in the distance and along the shore Where small wide docks are, with a sailboat or two beside them. Then before leaving to travel on to more foreign places of beauty and inter- est, take a breath of the cool balmy breeze, sigh and wish that you would never' have to leave. After your trip is over, and you are home, years and years may go by, but I am sure you would never forget Sunny Italy. Barbara French, '39 The Ship of '36 For four years the ship of the class of '36 has been on its way. Today, on April 21, 1936, it is nearing its destina- tion, Graduation Harbor. With good weather and fair winds, we shall make port in about seven weeks. It is true that there have been days, and may yet be days, when it will not all be smooth sailing, but I think we will find that things will invariably turn out for the good. We have all heard, no doubt, of the young man, who, upon receiving his diploma, shouted, Hurrah, I'm edu- cated! This seems to be the attitude taken by a good many students, but the true scholar will realize that receiving a diploma, whether it be high school or college, does not mark the end of his education. It is only the beginning. There is always more to be learned in the School of Experience. There is al- ways' knowledgel waiting for us just around the cornerg if we only keep our eyes and ears open to things going on around us. Some of us, I believe, have very def- inite plans. Others of us have plans that are but half-formulated. While still others of us have not the faintest idea of where we shall turn next. Some will seek higher education, while others will join the ranks of the employer and employee. , , I -Why not make our closingdays to- gether as happy as possible? Why not get along with as little friction as we can? Let each one of us do his level best to help provide the good weather and fair winds necessary to guide the ship of '36 safely into port. We can do it if we all pull together. Winthrop High School has treated us well. Let us make our lives worth- while so that she may be proud of us. And above all, wherever the passing years may find us, let us pray that we may be worthy of our beloved Alma Mater. Ida Edwards, '36 The Ethiopian Problem The Ethiopian problem is the most important event of the past six months. This is true because the interests of the world are endangered by the conflict. The world's peace and prosperity de- pend upon the sureness of the Kellogfr Treaty and the strength of the League of Nations. When the nations were figuring the cost of war, they found that it cost 525,000 to kill one man. What a huge sum of money is wasted in war when it is needed by the countries for the re- lief of their unemployed people and their public works! How easy it is to see why countries get into debt when they fight in war! The peace of the world depends part- ly upon the League, because if the League fails to prevent Italy from cap- turing Ethiopia, other nations will say that if the League cannot stop Italv it cannot stop other countries. and then they, too, may start attacking the weaker countries. Even now, Japan is planning an attack on Northern China and other countries near her. However, the League has accomplished one thinfr. It has persuaded Italy's allies to help prevent Italy from capturing Ethiopia. If Italy has no allies, where will she obtain the supplies she needs? Many pacts have been signed and af- terward broken, but there still are a few. Will these few be strong enough 16 WIINTHROP WINNER to hold back the surging emotions of nations? Will the Ethiopian-Italo war come to an end before it becomes a world war? No one can be sure. Ruth A. Knowlton, '39 Foreword During the recent vacation, which we enjoyed in March, about the time of the great flood disaster, I had the doubtful pleasure of being transported by boat across the strong currents of Cobbossee stream, because the bridge was expect- ed to go any minute, and my home hap- pened to be on the other side. A threat- ening, unfamiliar body of water, swol- len to twice its normal width, and per- haps ten times its normal current, the Cobbossee looked more like a river than a stream at the time. The bridge did go sometime during that night, and the next day we went down to take a look at the remains. I couldn't believe that I had ever taken a dive off the flimsy-looking structure that floated aimlessly around several hundred yards downstream. Several large boulders had failed to hold the bridge, and still lay forlornly on the raft-like platform, like the outcast souls of the Foreign Legion, or prisoners on their way to Devil's Island. That afternoon I paid a visit to the Deestrick Skule which I had attended during my last years in grammar school. Though familiar, the queer, double-seated desks looked and felt smaller and more scarred than ever, the portrait of George Washington seemed a little more austere. But of course it all brought back the usual memories of kid pranks, kid friends. Anyway it was the Hood itself, still so fresh in everybody's mind as a period of suspense and horror and catastrophe, and the quaint little one-room school- house which inspired my story. I dedi- cate it to them both. Flood Versus Romance It was March in the solitary school- house on the flat. Sylvia Marston's blue pencil hustled unerringly through the stack of scrawly arithmetic papers on her desk, then she tucked them into the top drawer. Looking up, she met the stern gaze of The Father of our Coun- try from the painting on the wall be- hind rows of tiny scarred desks, and her gray eyes sparkled. March-and nearly spring. Georgie! Springing up, she whirled across the floor in a twirling dance that would have shocked the smallest of her pupils. But school was out, the straggling last of her brood had already disappeared beyond the wood-crested slope, with a Hash of swinging lard dinner-pail. Sound was magnified in the empty, one- floorg a squirrel scolding just outside the window from the retreats of an old, tired oak, from the swamplands below the twittering of early spring birds- then the distant purr of a powerful mo- tor. Hearing, Sylvia turned' her back on the disapproving gaze of Georgie, pat- ted powder onto a pert nose, ran a comb through her red-gold bob, slipped into a new, dashing swagger coat, grabbed up her brief-case, fumbled for the key on its customary nail beside the water- pail, and was locking the Ucantanker- ous old door when a low, blue-gray roadster swung into the yard. Ahoyl called a cheerful masculine voice. Ahoy, Sir Galahad. Am I late again '? The name made her smile. He had insisted upon calling her that since she had insisted upon doing the heroic thing, coming out here in the country to teach so that she could take care of herself and sickly mother, without do- ing the easy thing by marrying him. Something proud and independent in Sylvia revolted against dependence, even upon Gary West. Driving down the rough road, sun- light did bewitching things to Sylvia's tawny locks, etched Gary's nice profile in gold. Sylvia, will you marry me? No, she said. He managed a fairly successful laugh. WINTHROP HIGH SCHOOL 17 If at first you don't succeed-! Young lady, are you aware of the fact that I received a S10 raise today? How's that for the climbing architect? Mr. San- derson unbent enough today to give me credit for originality and promise in ideas-now will you marry me ? Gee, that's swell! sparkled Sylvia. No, sighed Sylvia, But let's celebrate the raise. . . The movie-su, planned Gary. A big spread afterwards at the snootiest res- taurant in town-then we'll look in on Strand Pavilion. And then me stumbling into the house in the shady hours beyond mid- night, Waking Mrs. Lyn's baby, and old Mrs. Greeley across the road peeking out the window to see if you kiss me good-night? Sir-this is the country! He acknowledged the fact with a def- inite scowl. Will a ride and picnic sup- per be within the limits of country eti- quette? Say, a drive over to Andover? Gary, faltered Sir Galahad. An- dover is forty-three miles away. Forty-three miles, in this car? He looked keenly into her eyes. Okay, surrendered Sir Galahad, not too unhappily. A cool drive, hunger-tempting sand- wiches, and' Gary's eighty-ninth pro- posal were still on Sylvia's mind the next day as she pushed a second grade reader unwillingly through the story of the three goats who marched across the bridge. It was gray and desolate and very Aprilish. It was raining. It rained through noon hour and kiddies with muddy feet tracked across the floor and left wet mittens under the stove. It was raining when Garv's road- ster swung into the yard for her that afternoon, top up. It rained all night and Sylvia. tossing on a feather bed, heard Mrs. Lyn walking the iioor with Lyn, Jr., who had the croup. Wondered how her mother was getting along in town- After a dismal night Sylvia heard the rain pelting against the roof - Friday the 13th. Looking out, Sylvia saw that the yard was washed into a queer clay mud-puddle. H No school. Sylvia wandered around the house that morning, picked up a book, laid it down. Mr. Lyn came in from the chores, his nondescript slicker making him look wetter than ever. Rainin' calves and pitchforks! he grumbled, And the creek's risin', fast. Sylvia went to the window and a queer pang struck her as she looked down the pasture slope at the ugly swol- len waters of the stream. Why, the water is level with the bridge I she exclaimed. Yeah, I know, said Lyn. That was all anyone said. Saturday the bridge went out-Sylvia watched it go, a helpless splintered thing in the churning waters. the only link to the World and Gary. The waters now were up to the pasture gates. No- body needed to ask any questions then -everybody knew. Sylvia thought, If Gary were only here! At noon she tried to call her mother. The line was down, said the local operator, between there and town. Returning from a survey, Lyn re- ported that-the old sheep shed below the pasture had been destroyed, was float- ing downstream. Pa, said Mrs. Lyn, tremulously, We ought to get out of here. Lyn avoided her eyes. On this knoll -we should be safe enough. We should be safe enough, thought Sylvia, fighting down that queer sense of panic. If onlv there were a radio! She ran the old phonograph all after- noon, listening to the same cracked rec- ords, over and over . . . Anything to shut out the noise of pouring rain, of pouring creek waters! Mrs. Lyn called the McBerrys who lived down in the low swampy region of the valley, the only family in immediate danger. We're swamped, came Mrs. Mc- Berry's hysterical voice over the wire. Cut off. There's three feet of water in the cellar. We'l1 be afloat in a few hours. The-the food's given out. Dad tried to get us out in the fiivver, but the motor flooded before we had gone ten feet. is WINTHROP WINNER We'll be drowned, like rats! My God, what are we going to do ? Keep up your courage, snapped Mrs. Lyn: This can't last much longer. When Pa Lyn learned the substance of their conversation, he squared his shoulders. We can't let those kiddies starve, he said. Pa, what are we goin' to do ? 'Tm goin' to take some supplies down to 'em. I'll haul the rowboat down to the edge of the swamp with the team, then I'll row in. I'll leave the small boat for you - in case anything should hap- pen . . . 'Tm afraid- , murmured his wife. Shucks! It's a cinch. There won't be any current down there. If an old sailor like me can't handle a rowboat he ought to be in Davy J ones' locker. From the window a forlorn family, plus Sylvia, watched him start out with the boatful of provisions. The horses cringed against the wind and iiattened their ears, but the rugged figure in the wagon seat sat erect and sturdy, as he might have stood on the deck of a schooner in the old days, battling against a fierce nor'easter. He knew what faced him, through the driving sleetg treacherous, swirling iiood wa- ters, falling trees, perhaps death. He waved back cheerily at the group in the farmhouse window, and the wagon dipped down the knoll, out of view . . . It seemed to the silent group left be- hind that the rain and wind were pound- ing at the house, reaching at them with hungry, cold fingers. Mrs. Lyn tried the phone, after a while. He must have reached McBerry's by now! But only a queer humming sound greeted her ears. The line was dead! Most of the time Sylvia stood by the windows, watching those menacing gray waters, rising . . . The hands of the clock marched steadily onward. Darkness crept up, and with it a thunder storm. As though the Storm Gods were not sat- isfied with what they had already ac- complished. Lightning, thunder, and still that interminable rain. Then the baby began to cough. Little hacking coughs at first, then great, hoarse, convulsive ones. His face sud- denly grew purpleg he tossed in his crib. It's that croup, said Mrs. Lyn. Syl- via hung over the crib, frightened and inefficient, while the baby's mother heated grease on the stove, trickled it way back in the baby's throat. Watch- ing her, Sylvia decided that for a college graduate, there were a number of things she didn't know. But Junior didn't seem to grow bet- ter. He kicked and thrashed and his face was still that ghastly hue. Sylvia realized that Mrs. Lyn was trembling. He needs a doctor, quick! she gasped. If Doc Gray were only here. Kind old Doc Gray, only a half-mile away, but separated from them by that awful expanse of water! There are times when we make decisions like that. In a split second Sylvia had made hers. I'll get the doctor, she said. If only-someone-could, choked the mother. Sylvia cast a single glance at the piti- ful, twisted baby face. Running up- stairs, she put on her raincoat and over- shoes, pulled an old felt hat down over her coppery hair. Keep up your courage, she said to Mrs. Lyn. God bless you, my dear, sobbed the woman. Then the door was closed behind her, shutting her out in the rain and thunder and lightning. She found the other row- boat, with oars, in the boathouse, dragged it into the water. Then on the bank, looking across the awful expanse of the water, her cour- age faltered. A swell Sir Galahad you are! she scoffed herself, through chattering teeth. Could a girl manage a boat across that fury-ridden sea. alone, at night? Remembering the baby, she de- cided that a girl could, if she had to. Jumping into the boat. she thrust the oars into the locks-shoved away. She was scarcely away before she felt the tug of the black current, like a mon- WINTHROP HIGII SCHOOL 19 ster laughing at her feeble efforts to battle it. For five minutes she struck sharply upstream, fighting it with all the strength of muscle she possessed. Her eyes were becoming accustomed to the dusk and she could see cakes of ice swirling swiftly downstream, could see also that she was losing ground. But even when she knew that she had lost, she battled with sheer grit. Then a huge something loomed up above the boat, struck it sharply. She felt the boat shiver, splinter, heave-then she was tossed into the chill spring waters of the creek. It seemed that she was whirled down for endless minutes, but she fought her way to the surface, in- stinctively flung out an arm -and touched the log that had crashed into the boat. Weakly, she dragged herself upon it. No use trying to swim in this cold, stormy water. The rubber rain- coat pulled at her as it Was, weighing her down. Water-soaked and shivering, she clung to the slimy surface beneath her. The log itself performed strange antics in the current, swapping ends in a whirlpool, bounding sidways as an ice floe struck it. Just then a sha1'p stab of lightning illumined the creek-a creek which by now resembled a river. Showed black ugly torrents everywhere-but only a few feet to the right, through the gray sleet, Sylvia saw the shore-line, slipping by like a friendly arm in the storm. So near, and yet so far, thought the girl in a strange Hash of humor. Then another ice floe boomed against the log, tossed it like a toothpick into the air. Sylvia hurtled through space. She was vaguely aware that she screamed twice before she struck-not an ice floe, or whirling flood waters, or another log -but MUD. Sticky, soggy, mud that meant one thing only-land. Relief surged through the girl-she had a hysterical urge to laugh aloud-only she couldn't, because her face was buried in the' mud, and she was too weak to laugh, anyway. Then a beam of light struck down- ward, piercing the curtain of rain. Sylvia-Sylvia, was that you? My God! He knelt beside her. Gary! Believe it or not, giggled the girl hysterically, trying to pull herself out of the mud. It IS me. Then remem- bering, she sobered. Gary-get Doc Gray. J unior-awful sick. A very old- fashioned thing to do, she thought. faint, as she drifted off. But everything was all right now, with Gary there . . . It was sunlight and very cosily warm and dry, when Sylvia began to know that she was still alive. She was in the middle of the featherbed in her room at the Lyns, and it felt surprisingly good. There were flowers on the dresser, the stand beside her bed, the windowsill. Medicine smells perireated the room. Staring out the window, with his hands thrust deeply into his pockets. stood a rather familiar figure. How long, asked Sylvia, Have I been absent? He whirled and came over to the bed and put his hands on her shoulders and -Sylvia drew a deep breath: You shouldn't do things quickly like that, she smiled, It might be bad--for my heart pressure! . Well, Doc Gray says you had a con- stitution like a horse to pull through anyway, grinned Gary. How's Junior? Out making mud pies. And Mr. Lyn? Strange intuition urged the question. Gary's pale face answered it. He-didn't come back, dear, he said quietly. T1'agedy lurked, after all, in the shadows of the sunny day. With the sudden, first terrified understanding of youth, Sylvia knew that you couldn't buck Fate. Suppose it had been Gary, down there in the dismal burying ground of the swamp? She shuddered with horror. How did you ever get me across? she asked quietlv. Then involuntarily, Poor Mrs. Lyn. I know. His understanding sym- pathy quieted her nerves. I was afraid you were hurt, but I couldn't stop to make any examinations. I dumped you 20 WINTHROP WINNER into the truck, went like sixty for Doc Gray unloaded my moto rboat, and transported you both across. EfIiciency personified, said Sylvia with a hint of her old' self showing through. She smiled weakly, You know, Pm beginning to think you make a better Sir Galahad than I do, after all. ' That's what you think. Little girls like you hadn't ought to by trying stunts like that anyway. Sylvia, if you had drowned- . His face went gray. No, rectified Sylvia, trying to be flippant, because tears burned her throat. You're a rotten Sir Galahad. You don't even offer to help a damsel in distress! At your service, m'lady! I'm trying, sighed Sylvia. To ask you to marry me. She didn't have to try Very hard. The End Comparison A frog with a white speckled waist-coat And a robe of dotted green Sat musing on a lily-pad And watched the moon serene, And watched the moon serene. And a great big bull-frog with long brown legs, From a neighboring lily-pad queried My great-eyed one, my pretty-paunched one, Don't you think it time we were married? Don't you think it time we were married? A maiden stood on the bridge above- A lovely young village queen, And she swayed to the tune of her 1over's croon And watched the moon serene. And watched the moon serene. Then he stopped the strumming of his old guitar For no idle words he parried, He caught her and kissed her, the brook whispered back Don't you think it time we were married?

We certainly are the leading class, And there is where we'll stay, Till we show 'em we're in earnest By doing our work each day. We Juniors deserve some credit For the work that we maintain, And in the end, we hope- It all will be our gain. M. Oakes. '37 Night Twilight is quietly creeping Over hill and dale, Soon the earth will be sleeping Shrouded with a misty veil. Songbirds have hushed their singing, Trees whisper secrets, age-old, Now God has gathered everything Safe, in his protective fold. Earth is silent with slumber, The moon steals out of the deep, Then, softly in countless numbers, The stars begin to peep. The darkness settles around us, In a ghost-like, mysterious way, To guard the sleeping universe 'Til the dawn of another day. Dorris Dow Y37. The Senior Class of '36 Time glides swiftly on, School days will soon be o'er, As a class of Seniors We will meet no more. Classmates bound together By ties of friendship true, Leaving Winthrop High behind us To enter fields anew. We must take up life's duties, Though they be great or small, Success, glory, honor, Lie before us all. Helen Cummings '36. Storm When stomi clouds gather, dashing hopes raised high, And rain falls from a blank and leaden skyg Then one feels the surge of something infinite and grand That makes Sorrow the guiding spirit of its stand, And drops a tear for every widowed, suffering heart And tears the veil of human souls apart! Giving just a single glimpse of that beyond- And then with one heart-rending, lightning Hash is gone. Marjorie Collins 137. is the money always loaned? WINTHROP HIGH SCHOOL ' 21 Where?

The Sunlight and I We went walking out together, the sunlight and I, Myself upon the velvet turf and he through the azure sky, We played in the brook and we laughed at the sea, And they laughed back at us, the sunlight and me. We went walking out together, the sunlight and I, And paid no heed to a thousand souls we passed by, And we played down in the meadow andthe grove and pasture, too, And after all was done, dear love. I wandered back to you. The sunlight smiled and climbed and hid Beneath a cloudbank in the sky- So we'll watch and wait together, sweet, And bid the sun good-bye. Because while we walked together We heard a bird's love-cry, And so we made a vow, my love, The sunlight C?J and I! M. Collins '37. 'True Experience Never Ends Classmates and students, teachers and friends, Humorous experience never ends And so to you I'l1 try to repeat A funny story that can't be beat. I While I was a waitress at a nearby place The family doc said I had a case He said all I needed was a rest And BED was the place that he thought best. I made up my mind, and I said NO! To bed I was sure I would not go. A couple of pills he gave me to take He said it was for my very own sake. I went back to work to serve a lad, He thought my case was very bad. My head was thick, my nerves were tense, And what 1 said made little sense. When to the cook my order I'd taken, She thought I must have been mistaken Then what did I do but begin to bawl And was there a reason? No, none at all. They carried me out and took me home, They didn't trust me far, alone. When I struck that bed, I couldn't think, I went to sleep, quick as a wink. When I woke, fa few days afterj T here was much fun and lots of laughter, They razz me to this very day, Do I OBEY the Doc ? I'll say!

The Rambler We would like to take this opportu- nity to describe the history and growth of our monthly school paper, The Rambler , in order that everyone will have a better understanding of this extra-curricula activity. The paper was inaugurated this year largely through the efforts of Mr. Jor- dan. Due to his diligent work the paper has been a success. The first issue had nine members on the Editorial Board and a circulation of barely a hundred. Because of this small circulation, adver- tisements were sold to make it a finan- cial success. And it was a financial suc- cess! In each successive issue our cir- culation and Editorial Staff increased. Finally in the fourth issue, the adver- tisements were discontinued because our subscriptions had increased suiir- ciently to take care of finances. The last issue printed had increased to a cir- culation of over 200 copies, and an Edi- torial Board of 15. During the year the Rambler has made a clear profit of over 552000. We wish to take this time to thank everyone who helped to make this paper a success. WINTHROP HIGH SCHOOL 23 Frou! Row, lvft to riglzf: Miss Marguerite Tzipley, Marie Auclet, l.ucile Frost.

Commercial Club This year the Commercial Depart- ment has organized something new in united school activity which has proved to be practical and has brought mem-- bers of the organization some real en- joyment- a Commercial Club. The club, under the leadership and di- rection of Miss Tapley, began the year right by electing as its officers the fol- lowing members: President, Stenish Skninag Vice-President, Lucille Frostg Secretary, Ida Edwardsg Treasurer, Helen Cummings. As the secretary later dropped Bookkeeping, one of the three Commercial subjects necessary for membership, she was automatically removed from the Club. Marjorie Col- lins was elected to fill her place. In order to have a club pin one must remain in the club for three successive ranking periods, or in other words, keep an average of about 85W in all commer- cial subjects for at least eighteen weeks. Those members remaining in the Club for an entire school year receive a cer- tificate. On March 4th the club held a typing contest in order to obtain money for paying for the club pins. The contest was divided into A, B, C, and D classes, according to the rate of speed attained. The winners were: I. Edwards, H. Cum- mings, H. Faulkinham, and E. Tibbetts. Throughout the year members of the club have been awarded certificates and pins for accuracy, speed and fluency in typing and shorthand, by the Grefrg Company, which were presented in as- sembly by Miss Tapley. Later the club hopes to give an ex- hibit of commercial papers done bv club members, also showing some of the old 24 WINTHROP WINNER and new types of machines for typing, Tim Hopper, Alfred Bond adding., billing., etc. The town's bad example. I d M Such an exhibit should be of interest Bud Flaunwm' 'ww Core not only to those in school but to visi- tors as well. After reading about the activities of this club for the year, you will doubtless agree that this banding together of Commercial students is a fine idea, not only because it increases cooperation be- tween students and teachers, but be- cause it induces students to higher scho- lastic efforts and ambitions. We hope that it may continue asl successfully next year, and grow to be one of the most active, outstanding organizations of the school. Dramatic Club At the first meeting of the present year the following officers were elected for the following year: President, Rob- ert Stewartg Vice-President, Marjorie French, Secretary, Katherine Nedzag Treasurer, Raymond de la Feuilliez. The club also decided at this meet- ing to put on a Dramatic Club play which consisted of just members. The play was a great success, both finan- cially and in the way of talent. The play was put on at the Town Hall on January 23, 1936. The name of the play was Here Comes Patricia . It was coached very successfully by Mr. John LaPlant. The following were in the cast: Mrs. Carroll, Ruth HOUSQ A typical friendly, neighborly, small town home- hody. Elsie Crowder, Marjorie French An up-to-date miss who believes in going after what she wants. hits. Smith-Porter, Virginia Rourke A small town society matron. Angelina Knoop, Lila Gale Another young girl. Patricia Grayson, alias Patricia Hammond, alias Shirley Wade. Daughter of the Governor, Eileen Peacock Jimmy Clark, Carleton Dow A newcomer in Fern Lawn. Elbert Hastings, Alfred Maxwell An English cousin of Patty's. Adam Wade, i Nelson Briggs ,l1mmy's peppery boss. A young man. Those who attended were heard to remark that it was one of the best plays ever presented by this club. Faculty-Student Play The Faculty-Student Play. Deestrick Skule up to Date , was given in the Town Hall, February 18, before a large audience. It was an amusing story of a rural school trying to improve. The professor of the school QMr. LaPlantel was told by the trustees of the school fLila Gale, Virginia Rourke, Ruth House, Marjorie Adams, and the only male member of the board, Thompson Grantl that he must be married in order to hold his position, each feminine member thinking she was to be the one whom he would lead to the altar. But the climax was reached when the pro- fessor announced he was going to marry the meek Widow Jones CMarguerite Tapleyj. There were two humorous school-room scenes showing the pupils of the country school, who were: Gum-- chewing Sabula Sappington and her brother fMadeline Bisson and Carleton Dowj 3 the inseparable Ruth Elder Earl- ington and Bobby Jones Crackenbush fAnita Dostie and Leonard Gaylordlg the shoddy Scroggins family, Charles Augustus Scroggins fWillis Cobbl, Al Smith Scroggins CRobert Drapeaul, Carrie Nations Scroggins lBettyWebbl. the smart alec, Charlie Chaplin Ever- glades CI-laymond de la Feuilliezlg the Merriweather twins, Amos 'n Andy fLeslie Lapham and Howard Millettl: Arabella Macoroni Sistrunk and her brother, Baby Bennie Shafto Sistrunk f Marie Audet and Henry Debloisl 5 Will Rogers Tiddlewinks, the school-room nuisance CRussell Swiftl.

Senior Play The Senior Class presented the three-act comedy, Sally Lou , on the evening of April 23 in the Town Hall. The play was very ably directed by Mr. Thompson Grant of the faculty. The cast included the following: Sally Lou Fomstock, an angelic miss, Mabel Hisson Dot Reynolds, a debutante, Marjorie French Mrs. Reynolds, Dot's mother, Eileen Peacock Flossie Blaine, a sweet young lady, Arlene Parker lilsie, a maid, Phyllis Melville Charlie Allerton, interested in the beautiful but dumb, Alfred Bond ,lerry VVilson, a long-suffering young man, Willis Cobb James Bradley, Sally l.ou's uncle, Nelson Briggs Percival Weymouth, an uplifter of gangsters, Horace Burr Lefty Dillon, of the profession , l.eonard Moore Riggs, a lawyer's clerk, Lara Waterman Robert Stewart filled the position of business manager and Waldo Lincoln that of stage manager. The ushers were Edson Stevens, Leroy Merrill, and Eugene Audet. Radio Plays The pupils of Winthrop High School have been very fortunate in obtaining a series of radio plays. These plays are designed especially for high school dra- matics to promote radio training. The neighboring schools of Cony, Hallowell, and Gardiner have similar series and offer a friendly competition. In the presentation of such plays, the students are introduced into the atmos- phere of radio life. This fact tends to encourage the responsibility and better character of the student. As broadcasts have to be carried on with down to the 26 WINTHROP WINNER second precision, this teaches the stu- dent alertness. 'l he dramatic end must be carried on perfectly with the accent on the right word or words. One mis- interpretation would change a serious drama into comedy. The training offers the simple fundamentals for those who plan to carry on with radio in later life. The series consists of twelve plays with historical events as a background. This refreshes the rfind to old events, or acquaints them to the new events. The sound effects are furnished by the pupils also. We also hope that Win- throp will be able to carry on the series next year. Junior Prize Speaking Cnc of the most important events of the Junior? Year is the Junior Prize Speaking contest under the direction of Miss Hoke. The seven contrstants that were chosen for the finals and their selections were: Dorris Dow, In a Mysterious Way , Helen Faulkingham. The Wheels of Time , Fstelle Lewia, The Small-pox Medicine , Carolyn Turner, A Little Scrub , Robert Fountain. Columbus and I g Harlan Gilman. At the'Swimming Hole : Carleton Dow, The Fall of Georgie Basset . The date was set for April 16, with the following people acting as judges: Miss Grace Shaw, of Augusta, Miss Bertha Harvey, of Hallowell, and Mr. Philip Annis, Principal of Hallowell High, awarding the first prize for either girl or boy to Helen Faulkingham. who will represent Winthrop High at Gardi- ner in the All-Maine Contest, the second prize for the girls to Carolyn Turner, the second prize for the boys to Carle- ton Dow, the third prizes for boy and girl to Dorris Dow and Robert Fountain. As our time was so short the teachers were very willing to cooperate with Miss Hoke in the coaching. We thank you. Carolyn Turner. The A. A. Drive In an effort to earn baseball suits and various equipment for the baseball sea- son a drive for one hundred dollars is being sponsored by the entire school with the aid of Mr. J. Jordan and the rest of the faculty. This drive is di- vided into ten groups. The aim of each is to earn ten dollars or more. The com- mittees of each group are as follows: Ice cream, W. Cobb, J. Jordang baked beans, R. Stewart, Faculty membersg candy, L. Moore, Miss Vetter, fish pond, W. Towns, Miss Dennisong hot dogs and popcorn, C. Dow, Miss Hoke, dance, A. Bond, Miss Tapleyg novelties, L. Water- man, Mr. Lapham, subscriptions for the Kennebec Journal, R. Drapeau, Mr. Mil- lettg season tickets, R. de la Feuilliez, Mr. Grantg and food sale, R. Swift, Mr. LaPlant. Our earnest endeavor is to see our school outfitted in baseball equipment that is as good, if not better, than other schools. We know everyone will strive to aid us in our endeavor and make our baseball season a success. Manual Training A subject which is enjoyed immense- ly by every boy and girl who take it is Manual Training. Manual Training is a training for students in arts and crafts, especially Woodcraft. What is a more interesting subject for a boy or girl to take? This year in our school, under the in- struction of Mr. Lapham, twenty-one girls have been sawing, planing, sand- papering, varnishing and painting. The results from these girls' work are: end tables, trays, buttons, lamps, candle- holders, and cedar chests. The girls are fortunate in having the opportunity to take this subject for few schools teach it to girls. There are ninety-eight boys who are taking Manual Training this year, and they have been making coat hangers, floor lamps, end tables, plant stands, sewing cabinets, and nut bowls. g gg g WINTHROP HIGH SCHOOL 27 All students who take Manual Train- ing find much enjoyment working with the various tools, developing many use- ful things. They also find that the things they learn in Manual Training are advantageous to them in many dif- ferent ways. For instance, in the home, if one has studied Manual Training, one can easily repair broken furniture or can varnish and paint to perfection. Manual Training is a fine subject to study at school for it trains both the mind and hands to be skillful.

To help the school in their drive to pay off the school debts, we held a good sale Sept. 21, 1935, and a class dance Nov. 15, 1935, both of which were fairly successful. Three members represent the class on the Student Council, R. de la Peuilliez, S. Slonina, M. Collins. The Council is something new in school efficiency, and we hope it may come to function suc- cessfully. D. Dow and M. Collins performed for the class in the Freshman Amateur Program, which livened up several af- ternoon assemblies. Juniors who have had write-ups in the Rambler are: M. Bisson, M. Collins, those representing the class in the Win- throp Winner are: R. de la Feuilliez, M. Collins, C. Dow. Several talented Juniors have shown their dramatic abilities over the radio in plays, H. Gilman, M. Bisson, C. Dow, M. Fleury, R. de la Feuilliez, H. Faulkinham, E. Lewier, T. Dostie. Some day we may be proud to say: I knew them when . . . M. Fleury, I. Dostie, and C. Dow boosted class spirit in the school play, Here Comes Patricia. R. de la Feuilliez and C. Dow deserve a pat on the back for their business management and big-heartedness in running the cafeteria. They have won the fidelity of n' any hungry students on rainy days and otherwise. Here's hop- ing trade was good enough for a con- tinuation next year. Ambitious Juniors have their eyes set on that prize to be awarded in Junior Prize Speaking. Believe it or not the class is more or less composed of Patrick Henrys. Some of the orators who will compete at a later date are: H. Gilman, R. Fountain, C. Dow, E. Lewis, D. Dow, H. Faulkinham, and C. Turner. To judge by all the above activities you've got to hand it to the Juniors. In addition to these accomplishments, they have a very applicable slogan: We are the worst, the best, the handsomest, and the homeliest class in school. We are very good. very naughty, and we have a high scholastic standing except when it is low. In other Words, the Juniors believe in being temperamental. Sophomore News When school began on September 9 our class had an enrollment of fifty. It is the largest class in high school. At our first class meeting we elected the following officers: President, Stanley Kus, Vice-President, Richard Cobb, Secretary, Alida Bowens, Treasurer, Alfred Maxwell. During the year there have been many Sophomores that have taken part in the school plays. In the play, Here Comes Patricia , there were four Soph- omores. In the cast of the Faculty- Student play, Deestrick Skule , six of WINTHROP HIGH SCHOOL 29 our class appeared. In addition a large number of Sophomorcs took part in the monthly radio plays. Lila Gale, Henry D'eBlois, and Virginia Rourke were in the One-Act Play, David Copperfield Visits His Aunt . which was the play that Winthrop High School entered in the One-Act Play Contest. Virginia Rourke and Lila Gale were the runners- up in the Frosh Amateur program. These two are also the Sophomores on the Winthrop Rambler Board. Many boys in our class went out for football last fall. Richard Cobb, George Stetson, John !Hinkley. Stanley Kus, Carl Lowden, Robert Drapeau, Alfred Maxwell, Wendell Towns, Richard Par- ker. Eugene Gifford, Henry DeBlois, and Leonard Gaylord were on the foot- ball team. More than twelve Sophomores were plugging away at Basketball this win- ter. We were proud of Rachel Kinney, the forward who made so many baskets this winter. There are also manv boys in our class that are going out for baseball. We are proud to say that our class has led on the number of Honor Roll Students this year. The following stu- dents were on the Honor Roll for the fourth six-weeks' period: First Honor Roll: Annie Adams, Alida Bowens. Ruth House, Ethel Jones, Margaret Jones. Katherine Manter, Virginia Rourke, and Florence Stinchfield. On the Second Honor Roll were Mae Prescott and Charlotte Wentworth. We were glad to have Howard Dun- ham enter our class during the winter. We regret that Eugene Gifford had to leave our class at the end of the winter term. He showed much ability as an artist. On March 20 we presented him with a tennis racket to show our appre- ciation of what he has done. Others who have left our class are: Louise Young, Arthur Nobis, Richard Mitchell, Marion Hanes, and William Snow. We are very proud of our class and are sure that it will be one of the best classes that the high school has ever had. M. Jones. Freshman News With Gifford at the helm the ship Freshman set out for a year trip. The class oflicers are: President, Robert Gifford: Council Member, Robert Stet- song Vice-President, Barbara Freuchg Secretary, Louise Horzempa gTreasurer, Ruth Knowlton, Historian, Betty Webb. Miss Vetter organized a club among the Freshman girls and the group hiked each week. When the basketball season rolled around the girls deserted the club to prime themselves for class games. The Freshrran girls defeated the Sopho- more girls, 20 to 14. And the boys de- feated the Sophomore boys, 20 to 19. The finals were between the Seniors and Freshmen. The ffirl's score resulted in a tie, 24 to 24. The tie was played off and the Frosh girls lost 26 to 28. The Sen- ior boys defeated the Frosh bovw by a large score. The girls out for the var- sity from the Freshman class were Marguerite Raymond, Marie Rourke, Harriet Laughton. Olive Fleury. Bea- trice Jovin, Ruth Lewia, and Betty. Webb. The boys out for the varsity were Robert Gifford. Russell Drapeau, Robert Stetson. The Freshmen had a novel way of boosting the Athletic Association. It was in the form of a radio program that boasted such professionals as Kate Smith lMarie Rourkel, Amos 'n Andy fBob Gifford and Russell Drapeaul. Uncle Ezra fGuilford Rurnanl, Fred Allen and Portland I Robert Stetson and Betty Webbl, Gracie Allen and George Burns fMary Cushman and Russell Cobbl. Major Edward Bowes fAdried Knowltonl. On March 4 the Freshman class held an amateur contest to put money in their class treasury. Any one in the school was eligible, and a prize of' five dollars was offered. Frederick Libby was awarded the prize for his fine per- formance of imitations. During their first year the Freshmen have tried to make fi place for them- selves in Winthrop High School, and hope to enter even more activities in their second year. 30 WINTHROP WINNER Junior High News Seventh Grade students proved more adept at salesmanship during the an- nual seed sale than did their rivals in the Eighth Grade, selling approximately ten dollars worth of seeds, while the Eighth Grade made a fair showing with sales aggregating about 52.50. Dorothy Taylor and Ruth Bruneau, Seventh Grade, were in the Amateur Contest. Both acquitted thenvselves very creditably and were popular choices for the honor awards. Our orchestra, although lacking sufli- cient practice, made a fine showing and, while failing to win a prize, afforded ex- cellent entertainment. Members of the orchestra include: Floyd Smith. pianist, Lester Mason, drummer, Robert Boutin, violinist, Stanley Mayba, banjo, Henry Jolin and George Ruman, virtuosos of the jewsharp. We were glad to welcome back to our class, Eileen Frazee, after her long ill- ness. We were also glad to welcome a new pupil, Owen Emery, who entered the latter part of the year. We wish to express our thanks and appreciation to all those who were re- sponsible for our library. Our weekly averages for each subject are posted every Monday. All students receiving above 70'k are allowed to sign for books during that week. Every Fri- day afternoon all books are returned and checked by our faithful librarians: Natalie York and Fernand Fleury. Our library consists of 260 books. We own 146 of these and the rest are loaned to us by students. The following Eighth Graders wrote essays for the Stanley Chapter: Theresa Hyatt, Donald Baker, Roberta Dostie, Floyd Smith, James Hinds, Milo John- son, and Attalie Gale. The winner will be announced in June. Betty Shute '40. School Spirit Ben was of a poor family, his father died when he was nine. Since then his mother had taken in washings to keep them from starving and Ben had done his share by doing odd jobs around the Curtis home. He had reached his 17th birthday and was a Junior in high school. No one seemed to notice him except for John Curtis, the president of the Junior Class, who never overlooked the oppor- tunity to make fun of him because he was poor. Ben was never elected to any office but was always asked to serve on com- mittees when there was any work to do, such as getting the gymnasium ready for a dance, a social, or a play. One day about three weeks before the summer vacation, the Junior Class held a meeting to elect their officers for the next year. Ben was sick that day and could not attend the meeting. He often wondered who the officers were, but he thought that he could wait until grad- uation night for they always announced the class officers of each class that night. V The night of graduation came, and the hall was filled to its capacity. First they announced the ofiicers of the Freshmen, the Sophomores, the Juniors, then they came to the Seniors. Ben heard his named called as president. Everyone was congratulating him, even John Curtis, and when the Princi- pal called him to the platform he won- dered why he wanted him but he went forward, and was presented with a handsome cup on which was engraved the following words: To the most loyal boy in school, who has helped us in every Way possible, and who has certainly lived up to his name, Benjamin Loyal. Robert Maxwell '40. WINTHROP HIGH SCHOOL 3l V CJ g gg A ffflfllllllll ddlllll 14-411.x ATHLETIC S Football The football team was of unknown quality when the boys went out to the first practice last fall, but was found to have plenty of grit behind them. Coach Jordan had for veterans this year De la Feuilliez, Fountain, Drapeau, Belz, Dow, Burr, Hinckley, Kus, C. Cobb, and Captain W. Cobb. New members that reported were Lincoln, Swift, Gifford, Stetson, Stew- art, and Maxwell. I am justified in pointing out as alibis the fact that we were a homeless team, and that we had no field on which to practice. Sept. 21: South Paris 26, Winthrop 0. The Winthrop boys played hard at this game, but South Paris outweighed our boys, and were more experienced. Sept. 27: Fairfield 7, Winthrop 19. The boys showed what cooperation would do in this game, and with Lincoln crossing their goal three consecutive times, came out victorious. Oct. 5: Brighton 14, Winthrop 12. This was the most exciting game of the year. We were handicapped in this game, losing one of our best men, but as it was, we got two touchdowns. Credit should be given to the Cobb brothers in this game, each scoring once. Oct. 12: Mechanic Falls 6, Winthrop 7. This was a game that won't befor- gotten by those who played, or those who had the privilege of seeing the game. Stan Kus and Chick Cobb played a great game, Kus getting the winning point and Chick Cobb knock- ing down a pass which would have tied the score. Oct. 19: Wilton 12. Winthrop 0. Tho Wilton eleven was much heavier than our boys, and in this ,game Lincoln was put out for the rest of the season, suf- fering leg injuries. Oct. 23: Boothbay Harbor 19, Win- throp 0. The game was our first played in the rain, and they handed out a 19-0 swamping. Nov. 5: Hallowell 33, Winthrop 0. The squad fought hard for this game but the powerful Hallowell eleven was much Zgpgrior and we came home trailing Nov. 9: Livermore 54. Winthrop 0. We went to Livermore expecting to have at least a close score. but plaving in a swamp was too much for our local boys. Horace Burr and De la Feuilliez played a great game for Winthrop. This ended our Football season. 'Winthrop will probably be in the winning column next year, but will be handicapped with the loss of' Captain W. Cobb, W. Lincoln, Horace Burr, and Robert Stewart. Much credit should go to Coach Jor- dan who has done a wonderful job with the boys this year. Coach Millet has been coaching the JV's, including the Junior High boys, and has succeeded in forming a team which should be a great asset in the years to com:- '32 WINTHROP WINNER Back Row, Left to Right: F.

I am not going into much detail of the past season, but I can rightfully say the boys have cooperated to the best of their ability in playing, and also in sportsmanship. We had four veterans this year, Cap- tain Stewart, W. Cobb, C. Cobb. S. Kus, L. Gaylord, G. Stetson, and J. Hinckley. The new faces in the line-up included such men as Fountain and Healy, both doing a great job at the center position. The schedule is as follows: R. Cobb, Coach J. Jordan, W. Healey, Stewart, W.

All green players came on the court. Mabel Bisson and Marjorie French, vet- erans from last year didn't return, and on account of illness we were sorry to lose Madeline Bisson. Coach Jordan drilled and drilled his players to perfec- tion. Every player on the team worked hard and this team had the best fight- ing and cooperative spirit in the history of girls' basketball at Winthrop High School. We opened up our first game with Rockport on our own floor. The girls started right in to work and over- whelmed the visiting team. Rachel Kinney scored most of the points. The next game was plaved with the Alumni which was a glose battle but the girls won 23-20. Lawrence High School was our third opponent. We are always glad to play this team for they have the fastest and the best sporting team in the state. Our girls put up a great fight to the finish but were defeated when the final whistle blew. We traveled to Mechanic Falls for our first game away. We walked away with this game. Edna Young's long shots were the greatest attraction of the game. Next came Livermore Falls. the unde- feated team from their section. Our girls had an off night and were defeated without any complaints on their part. To the amazement of the townspeople we were very glad to say that our next game we won was a victory which was played at Fairfield. We were the first to defeat Fairfield on their own fioor. Nedza and Webb stopped the shots of the Levesque and Pooler forwards. 34 WINTHROP WINNER Gardiner and Richmond were the fol- lowing- games, which were taken over very easily by our girls. Hallowell, our biggest rival, was next It was played away. This couldn't be called a basketball game, it was a strug- gle to the finish. Losing, however, just made the girls more determined than ever to get even on their floor. Next came Mechanic Falls again. Our girls won 10-28. For the first time we had the honor of playing Kents Hill Seminary. Al- though this was an older, experienced team our girls came out on top. The Dostie sisters played a good game for us. The next two games were also taken over easily. The subs had a chance to warm up and score a few points. At last Hallowell in our own gym. The girls had been practicing very hard for this game, which was to be the best one of the season. It was a fight and any- one's game till the last shot was fired. With five seconds to go Kinney scored the winning basket and we won 23-25. We then went to Kents Hill Semi- nary. We enjoyed playing on their new gym floor and we took them over 10-28. The girls were rewarded for their fine work by having an invitation to play in the Fairfield Tournament. We accepted. very proudly. On March 4 we played Carmel. Both teams were unevenly matched and we won, 10-30. By winning this game we were to play Hallowell. Saturday night. The game was called at 7.30 and everyone was anxious to see this game played off. We started out wonderfully and thought that we could take them over. but at the beginning of the second quarter we had the mis- fortune of losing Betty Webb, one of our best guards. This was very discour- aging, and conseqeuntly we lost. How- ever, this didn't hamper us from play- ing for consolation on Monday night. We tackled Oakland, one of the fastest teams in the tournament. The girls were very sad at their defeat from Hallowell but they put their chins up and went out to fight. The girls are to be admired for the spirit they showed after com- ing up from defeat to victory. The girls fought for every basket they made and won, 13-14. Olive Fleury was the win- ning scorer of the game. Having only two minutes to play she came in the game and tied the score. With two sec- onds to play she shot the winning basketg the gun was fired and Winthrop had won the Consolation. A beautiful trophy was presented them. Captain Nedza was awarded a medal for All- Tournament guard. Another wonderful season is finished. Five veterans will return next year, cap- tained by Marguerite Fleury. The fol- lowing girls will receive letters: K. Nedza, B. Webb, M. Fleury, K. Kinney, and E. Young. The basketball gymna- sium closes its doors for a period of rest until next year.

We have for veterans: Cobb and Hinckley as backstopsg Fountain, WIN THROP HIGH SCHOOL 35 pitcherg Dow, first base, Moore, second baseg De la Feuilliez, shortstop, and Swift, Lincoln, Stetson, Kus, and Gay- lord, outfielders. The regular starters last year were De la Feuilliez, Cobb, Dow, and Moore, all of whom will provide the fielding and batting punch of the team. Tinker Lincoln, a regular outfielder two years ago, came back to school this year and will undoubtedly lead the team in hitting and fielding. New candidates who look promising are Emery, a left handed pitcher who already looks like a regular starter. Norcross will probably be stationed at shortstop, and De la Feuilliez will be shifted to third base, or a position in the outfield. Other candidates seeking positions are: Chick Cobb, a fast outfielderg Towns, Waterman, Merrill, and Burr. A tough schedule has been arranged with Cony, South Paris, Richmond, Hal- lowell, Mechanic Falls, and games pena- ing with Gardiner, Fairfield, Livermore, and Richmond. There is much enthusiasm among the boys as they are working for new uni- forms. The committees on this drive are certainly showing their stuff by all reports. The team and Mr. Jordan, who ably coaches it, predict and hope for a suc- cessful season. ..jALU Winthrop Junior High Sports We started at the first of the year, with the aid of Coach Millett, in learn- ing the fundamentals of football. Al- though we did not have football suits we had a good time learning signals, plays, etc. We were going along full swing when evidently all interest was lost and after a few more nights of practice only two or three were left, so we turned our in- terests to basketball. For two weeks we had the gymna- sium by ourselves, and we made good use of it by practicing every night with Coach Millett who helped us. One night, to everyone's great sur- prise and joy, Coach Millett organized a J. V. team to play other teams. Even though we did not win all the games, we 'had a good time and got useful ex- perience. The following are Eighth Grade play- ers on the J. V. team: George Ruman, Milo Johnson, Francis Johnson, Lester Mason, Donald Baker. Floyd Smith, Wallace Allen, Norman Rheaum, Joseph LaChapelle, Maurice Sylvester, Henry Jolin, and Robert Maxwell. We are looking forward to baseball practice. As yet not much has been done but we are going to have a J. V. team as soon as possible. James Hinds '40. The Alumni Association held their tenth annual reunion August io, 1935, at the Legion Hall. After the prayer offered by Judge H. E. Foster, a deli- cious banquet was served by the ladies of the Aux- iliary followed by the address of Welcome by the president, Elinor Bishop. Remarks were made by George Hegarty of Waterville, who holds the dis- tinction of being the only member of his class to graduate and for whom alone graduation exercises were held. Melrose Davies of Framingham, Mass., was the next speaker and his reminiscences were much enjoyed. The guest speaker of the evening was Prof. Albert Gilman of Central Y. M. C. A. College of Chicago. This was Prof. Gilman's second visit with us and his lecture was most interesting. The following officers were elected for this year: President, Frank Bakerg First Vice-President, Nellie Briggs: Second Vice-President, William Abelliz Treasurer, Marguerite Stockfordz Recording Secretary, Leah Bell :i Corresponding Secretary, Marguerite Sprague: Historian, Flora Bishop: Exec- utive Committee, H. C. Miller, president, vice-presi- dents, and all past presidents.

LAMENTATION Without just cause or provocation, To my deep humiliation, Before a classroom congregation, Without a bit of isolation, I was given an oration On my need of concentration In my last examination, And my need of education If I thought of graduation. I was filled with agitation When I heard this revelation On my slow degeneration. And I sat with meditation While he froze my circulation With a sharp denunciation. Some call it a bawling out !

After that you cut out the cloth and sew it up. Well, doctor , said M. Cushman, Why in the world don't you look at my tongue, if you want to, instead of writ- ing away like a newspaper editor? How long do you expect I am going to sit here with my mouth wide open? Just a moment more, please, Mad- am , replied the doctor, I only wanted you to keep still long enough so that I could write this prescription. Harvey Buzzell's father came in to see him, found him holding one of his rabbits by the ears and saying to him, How much is seven times seven ? Bah , his father heard him say, I knew you couldn't. Here is another one. Six times six is what? Now I know our teacher was lying to'i1s. Why, how? asked his father. Why, she told us this morning that rabbits were the greatest multipliers in the world. 46 WINTHROP WINNER Briggs: Doctor, can you help me? My name is Briggs-. Doctor: No, I'm sorry, I simply can't do anything about that. The head teacher in the Su n d ay School found too much noise going on in the next room. Seeing A. Bond, a little taller than the rest, talking a great deal, he brought him out and banged him in- to a chair in his room, saying: Now, be quiet!

His Idea of Genius Bud Cobb once said to Hobble Ste- vens, the young cowboy singer: Mr. Stevens, donyt you believe that genius is inspiration? H. Stevens: No , replied Hobble, genius is perspiration. He Knew Only One Mr. LaPlant had been telling his Bi- ology class that recently Worms had be- come so numerous that they destroy the crops, and it was necessary to import the English sparrow to exterminate them. The Sparrows multiplied very f as t and were gradually driving away our native birds. H. Deblois was apparently verv 1n- attentive, and Mr. LaPlant, thinking to catch him, said: Henry, which is worse, to have worms or sparrows ? Henry hesitated a moment and then replied: Please, I never had the sparrows. Cobb at the Gem fturning aroundjz Can't you see anything ? Peg: Can't see a streak of the stage. Cobb: Why, then, I'll tell you what to do. You just keep your eye on me and laugh when I do. Marjorie F.: I think Helen will make a fine wife.

LaPlant: Is he injured badly? R. Cobb: No, not very, he struck on his head. E. Stevens: You look like a nice sensible girl. Will you marry me ? A. Bowens: Oh, no, I am just as sensible as I look. It was the day after the Junior Prize Speaking Contest. This was the conver- sation: Swifty hasn't been doing much work lately on Advertisements for the Win- throp Winner. Funny, he was working down on Morton Street last night for at least half an hour! Was it for Advertisements, Swifty ? R. Stetson: I wonder how old Miss Hoke is ? G. Ruman: Quite old, I imagine, they said she taught Caesar. To Mr. Grant during a history test, Glenis Richards wrote this appropriate verse: Can't think, too dumb, Inspiration won't come, Bum ink, bum pen, Best wishes, A-men.

That's not a clown, it's just a Senior. G. Lee: Olive's face is the picture of health. M. Rourke: Yes, and she painted it herself, too. Hush, little Henry, Don't you cry, You'll be a big man, By and by. Gaylord: Did you see the smile she gave me? Oh, boy! Kus: That's nothing.

FARRELL Clothing and Furnishings 237 Water Street Augusta, 'r 1 ph sao Maine Compliments of Rev. I. R. McGowan n Open Letter to Every Prospective Purchaser There are some things we refuse to do to sell a car. We like sales, but fair dealing and the confidence of our customers are desirable too. For one thing, we refuse to poison anyone's mind against another make of car. We know what our car is and what it will do, and We are ready to tell you about that. But to imply defects in another car is not our business. We have done our utmost to encourage intelligent buying of motor cars by showing purchasers how to protect their own interests. All that a good producer asks is a customer who knows quality when he sees it. An intelligent purchaser will speedily conclude that only a bad product requires bad sales methods. We refuse to keep dinning in your ears that the Ford V-8 is the best, most economical, lowest priced car. That is claimed for several cars. Obviously it cannot be true of all. There comes a point where claims and adjectives and all advertising hysteria disappear in their own fog. Personally, I prefer facts. We say the Ford V-8 is the best car we have ever made. We say that our 8-cylinder car is as economical to operate as any lower number of cylinders. We say that we have always been known as the makers of good cars and that the many good, well-balanced qualities of our present car place it at the head of our line to date. Anyone wishing to do business with us on these principles will Find our word and the quality of our product to be A-1. What we say about economy, operation and durability will stand good anywhere.
