Kinsman established a trust fund for the scholarship, to be known as the Birch- mere Scholarship, effective only alter the deaths of their mother and themselves. This year, 1950, vn.ll be the first year in which the income will be paid out for this purpose. Dr. Kinsman's wish was that Boys eligible for the scholarship be residents of ’Voodstock, between sixteen and twenty-one years of age; of good character; with a fair record for work in school; and ambitious of securing greater educational advantages... The scholarship is intended primarily for expenses at college or technical school; but Birchmere Scholars are free to use discretion in their use of the money for any educational purpose. Only one Birchmere scholar is to be appointed each year, and as a rule, the same boy is to be re-appointed for a second year. Only in ex- ceptional cases would a boy hold the scholarship for more than two years. No second boy from a family should receive benefits until five or six years after the first award in that family. The scholarship is not primarily intended for boys whose families are able to give thorn a college education, yet every eligible boy in the Town is to be given consideration. The trust fund is administered by the National Bank of Commerce of Portland. A committee of three citizens of the Town of Woodstock was appointed by Dr. Kinsman to choose each year the boy to whom the award would be made. The committee as appointed was Robert C. Crockett, Seymour McAllister and Kts. Anne Jordan. If at any time any member no longer wishes to serve, the committee elects a successor, or he may be appointed by the trustees. In the course of time, Dr. Kinsman sug- gested that boys who had received benefits would in later years become members of the committee. At the tine the Fund was set up, the estimated interest each year amounted to about $500.00, but at the present tine due to declining in- terest rates, this amount can not be realized. However, the Fund will still yield an attractive and worthwhile scholarship. The donors of the Fund suggest that each boy who has received benefits from the Scholarship, at some time hand on to some other boy a sum equal to that which he received from the Birchmere Fund. Also any . . other persons who arc able to do so, may add to the Fund so that the pay- ments to the boys may be increased. It is with the deepest feeling of gratitude that we of the Eureka have recorded some of the details of the Birchmere Scholarship. We wish to express our appreciation for the thoughtfulness and generosity of Dr. Kinsman and his sister in establishing this Fund which can mean so much to some worthy boy each year through the years to come. It is also our hope that the boys receiving the benefits of the Scholarship always keep in mind the high ideals Dr. Kinsman held for boys and in this way enable the scholarship to perpetuate to the greatest extent the purpose for which it was intended. Phyllis Hathaway '50 Fighting Communism The only way to keep communism from over running our country and others, is by mental persuasion and by moral force. We can tell others how to fight this wrong way of thinking but yet we don't practice what we preach. All of us in America know how Russia is wrong in its way of governing and still we do nothing to fight it's spreading in other countries. All people make up their minds the way they want to, right or wrong. And no one has ever created anything to change man's ideas. Ihe only way to give people the right ideas is by good persuasion. he all know communism can't be beaten back by money or arms, ine only way to beat communism is to influence the people that a democratic government is the best way. When we can persuade people that it is right, v ay to freedom and peace in the world forever. we are on our Roger Strout '52 National Health Act We should take full advantage of the fact that it was Britain that passed the National Health Act and not us. There has been some talk for passing such an act in the United States. People are beginning to see it would be a grave mistake. As it is now, there are very few people who can't get a doctor when necessary. In some places probably there is inadequate medi- cal care, but if there is such an act passed as the National Health Act, there would be a lot more. The doctor's office would be full of people with minor troubles or with no troubles at all. Hospitals now have as many patients as they can handle com- ortably. Bntain|s hospitals are over-flowing. It takes an emer gency case to get in to one and often that has to be turned away. The dentists offices are full, mostly of old people who have a lot of spare time and wont false teeth at no cost to them. The younger people have to make appointments far in advance. The den- tists are hurried and they can't do as good a job as they used to. Though our country's health better than it would be if there progress may not be great, it is was a Health Act in this country. John Hathaway '51 RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF CITIZENS We people in the United. States are the most privilged and well-to-do people of the v orld. We can ovm land, chooae our work, and work for anyone we please or vote as we like. Anyone here can run for any office that he wants to if he is qualified, without fear of the police silently rush- ing him away. We can have rights guaranteed by the first amend- ment of the Constitution that a lot of oeoole in other count- ries haven't the slightest idea of. Article 1 reads: Congress shall make no law resnect- inp an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech or the press; or the ri ht of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. This alone could be a very complete base for foreign people to develop the Constitutions of their countries from. The rirht of fr''e speech could be easily carried bevond reason. Bv this; I mean using our speech freedom to do harm, create a distrust or hatred or promoting types of government that we do not want, such as the communist. Thehe are two stories that could illustrate our freedom of speech. A Russian and American were talking. The Ameri- can said that he could ”alk into the ’.mite House and speak his mind to President Truman. The Russian said that he could walk into the Kremlin and up to his high leaders and speak his mind also—that is--about President Truman. The other was: Before this war some Germans were travel- ing over the United States with an American guide. The American was telling them about our marvelous freedoms. To illustrate this, when-they stopped in a Democratic town, he went into a restaurant, climbed up on a chair and cussed out President Roose- velt in a good old'fashioned Republican way. All he received were amused smiles. They thought he had a little too much on. The Germans couldn't and wouldn’t believe that there weren t secret agents on his trail after thatj I believe the main part of our duties as Citizens of the United States is to uphold the Constitution and fight for it; and be proud to fight'for what 'e think is right and best for our people as a whole. Bernard Brooks '51 Consolidation or Not Shall we still maintain the si «11 high schools or should they be consolidated into a few large ones? This has been a major prob- lem of late years and .t ill continues to be-so. There has been much discussion on this subject, but as yet, little has been gained from it. Only this year our neighbor, as well as rival, West Paris, was faced with just such a problem; South Paris wanted to combine West Paris High School with its own, thereby discontinuing the smaller school. By all turning out whole heartedly did the townspeople of West Paris manage to keep their school. There are many good points in favor of consolidation, but I think there are also many more not jin favor of it. In combining---the pupils have a choice of almost any subject they wish to take. The opportunities for advancing in dramatics are greater. By eliminating the smaller schools, costs of the upkeep of these schools will be eliminated, also. Against combining---a large number of boys and girls would not attend high school. -They would have to travel many miles to and from school each day, discouraging their participation in the school' activities, such as sports and socials. They would not stand as good a chance of making the teams if they should engage in them, due to the great number of those out for the same sport. These are only a hint of the arguments being put out on this matter. I believe all should be concerned with this questifon because in the years to come, one side or the other will be in the lead-- the consolidated or the smaller school. Elouise Dunham '50 Wildlife Conservation in Maine National Wildlife Conservation lasts from March 19th to March 25th. There are three Maine State Conservation officials who have discovered many strange and interesting things about wildlife. These men have found that many Maine families owe a lot to busi- nesses based on the state's natural resources. Forests are considered to be of the most value to wildlife be- cause they provide protection and shelter for animals. We must have laws to protect the wildlife and keep the streams and lakes filled with fish for the attraction of out-of-state visitors. Conservation is the most important thing, all'the way from the woodlands to the creatures that inhabit them. The more we conserve- the better we will enjoy Maine. Roberta Farrington '53 I'll .Stay in America America is the place for no, where beautiful evergreen trees grow and where rugged hills enlighten the background. The cus- toms which America carries on are those which I am most adapted to. Freedom is a great thing in America while some other countries don't even know the meaning of Freedom. There are many chances for young people to grow up and make something of their future. The schools and churches give us the education we need to go on in life. The English language is the clearest in my small mind. Don't think I could ever get my tongue around the tongue twisters which other countries speak. If I were to go to another country with their interesting scenes and ways I wouldn't know how to act. Leaving my friends and neighbors would be difficult. My folks all live in America. If I went off I wouldn't be able to see them. Yes, I would like to go and visit other countries for a while but I think I had rather come back to America to make my home, to look across the enormous hills into the clear blue sky and smell the fresh air from the gentle breezes-----the country of freedom, America. Ethel Davis '52 Good English Personal success and the use of good English show that there is a close relationship. People do not realize all they owe to the mastery of effective speech. Neither do they realize that the ones with the largest vocabularies hold high positions with the large companies. In many cases it is proven that there is power in good English. It makes you fully convinced and creates high standing. Not only a large number of words is desirable, but the proper use of words and the way they are delivered. Back of one's words he is the per- sonality with its ideas given to the world. One's interest is attracted when one has something to say, and knows how to say it with force and reasonable power. It is worth our most earnest effort. Some lave achieved it, and others are still• trying. Our tongues, 3.ik c.lL good teacheis are ready to help us, and willing to be our seirant The one who masters good English, which i 1 can do, becomes the master of many situations.

Phyllis, Is quite the president of our class SETTOR CLASS TRIP On April 16 at about 9:00 a. m., six members of the Senior Class started on their way to Boston, be went with Mr. Mrs. Harris Hathaway and Mr. Mrs. Leland Dunham. Arriving in New Hampshire around neon, we stopped at Lamie's Tavern in Hampton for lunch. Refreshed, we started once again for Boston. Late in the afternoon after much searching, we located our destination, Hotel Huntington. This was the same hotel in which the class of !h9 had stayed last year. After all had unpacked and rested we set out to explore our surroundings. Strolling through Boston Common, we watched the Bwan boats which we were planning to ride on but never found time. Following this, we ate dinner in a cafeteria and all went to a double feature movie. Menday morning, being warm and sunny, the class went out to Franklin Park. We took many pictures of the animals and birds while there. As we had an appointment to go through the Navy Yards in Charlestown at 1:00 O'clock, we finally had to leave the Park. Our visit of the Navy Yards proved to be very interesting. Our guide showed us the ships and told many things about them, how they were brought into the dry docks for repairs, etc. While there, we explored the Constitution and were taken through the Electrolysis Building. Following this, we went to Bunker Hill Monument where four of us climbed the steps to the top and looked out over the city. In the evening, we were all willing to just sit through a movie. We saw Cheaper by the Dozen . Tuesday, also, turned out to be a very pleasant day. The morning was spent in going through the stores and shopping. We had lunch in the new Adams House Restaurant after which we visited the Old South Church and The State House. Then we went through Sears. A few wished to see a stage play in the evening, but as tickets could not be obtained, wo settled for another movie This one was Cinderella . Wednesday was our last day in Boston. All went to a morning baseball game at Ferway Park before tw« of us left for home at noon. The remaining four stayed for the afternoon game befere starting for home. On the wwy home we stopped for dinner at a Howard Johnson Restaurant. We arrived home Just before midnight. be all had a very nice trip and saw many new and interesting sights which we will always remember JUNIOR CLASS FIRST ROW: Harriett Hathaway, Alice Farnum, John Hathaway, Beverly Cary, Orene Whitman.

All hands hit the decks and dashed for the head to clean up for morning chow. For the next half hour soap and water brought bright and clean faces back into the sleeping quarters. At 0630 chow was piped down by the boat- swains mate of the watch and everyone except those on watch were lining up in chow line. After breakfast all hands fell to their tasks at the designated cleaning stations and a clean sweepdown was held fore and aft. At OBOO quarters were held. Since we were out to sea the flag was not hoisted. After quarters everyone went to his working stations. Since I worked in the flag office on the se- cond deck I was in no hurry. I stood on the main deck for a while and watched the rolling sea. Then I went below to the office. As I stepped in, everyone seemed busy doing nothing. In one corner a couple of gobs were looking in files, in another, one was making coffee while the rest were sitting around waiting for the coffee- to boil. So the day wore on slowly but surely. Vvhen out to sea, I had nothing to do since I handled the incoming mail so I made coffee most of the time or helped out in the office. Noon chow was piped at 1130 and the chow line formed again. After chow we went topside and watched the sea. We could see the porpoises jumping alongside the bow of the ship, as we plowed thru the calm sea. At 1300 turn-to sounded and we returned below to work. The afternoon routine was the same as in the morning. At 1600 the day's work was over and we went down to hit our sacks until 1700 and evening chow. After chow we took chairs topside to the movie area and sat around until the movies. After the movies, taps were sounded. Everyone went to sleep or lay awake wondering and thinking what the next day would bring. Alfred E. Allen '51 One night this winter I was walking home from East Bethel after dark. I had gotten about half way home when I heard the bushes moving and the snow crunching. I stopped and listened. As I stood there I heard something breathing. Then I decided to get my flashlight so I reached into my pocket and got it. I had just snapped it on when much to my surprise something growled at me. Flashing my light around, I picked up a pair of eyes, then another pair. Then I saw what they were. There were two big bobcats there on the bank I I was so scared that I ran the fastest that night that I had ever run before. I never told anyone before because they wouldn't believe it, but it isn't a ghost story. Robert Mason 52 A New Life As Steve sat on the deck of the ship, The Queen , his thoughts turned to his home town. It must have grown up a lot since he had been gone. It had been five years since he had been home; three of those years spent in a German prison camp and now he was on his way home, or at least on his way to America and his small home town i-n Ohio. For a few weeks he would have to be in the hospital for treat- ments on his eyes. He hadn't received very good care in the prison- camp where he had hurt his eyes, so now he was almost blind and need- ed real care, Those three years in the prison camp had been like a continual nightmare but now it was like waking up into a new day. How glad his family must be now that they knew he was alive because they had had a Kissing in Action notice after he had been taken to the prison camp. He would be so glad to just hear their voices again and maybe later he would be able to see. The main thing now was to get to America. He expected his parents to be at the port to meet him as he had sent them an airmail letter before leaving for America. The next day as they were getting in to the dock, he was as ex- cited as a man that could see, and about a half hour later he was hearing the voices of his father and mother. As Steve sat in the hospital one day after receiving encourage- ment from the doctors that he would some day see again he felt so happy and lucky. Life certainly had changed for him in the last few weeks. He soon would be home and in his old home life. Harriett Hathaway '51 MAINE V Maine is a beautiful land, With many sights to be seen. For adults, as well as for childre To live, enjoy, and dream. The majesty of its mountains • And the grandeur of its hills, .In winter they hold a sport for us With many spills and thrills. The beauty of its lakes,- The power of its streams, - The vastness of its forests, Holds for us many happy dreams. Maine, our Pine Tree State, In which our flag flies high. We should praise our pretty pine tree Towering high up in the sky. Janet Pietila 53 When soring rolls around man MAPLE SYRUP MAKING farmers ar et the fever to make syrup. I f 1 The Indians made svrup Ion • before the white man camev! They cut gashes or slits in the marles and caught the sap, inlb containers. They then nut it in a large cavity hollowed out of a rock. By heating stones very hot and drooping them in it, they evaporated the unwanted water, Vermont maves the most svrun and maple sugar, with New- York a close second. New Hampshire also makes a lot. It is of lesser importance i-n Maine. Making maple syrup is a kind of science as more and more is learned about it through the years. Warm davs and freesin nights are the best time. The quicker the san is boiled doan, after it runs, the better. Cleanliness is also an important factor in making light colored syrup. One farmer in Ofisfield, Maine is using a converted war tank to gather san. With the modern evaporators, some operators say they can boil fifty gallons of svrup with a cord of drywood. ’ The amount of syrup one can make an hour depends upon how big the rig is. It takes about thirty-seven gallons of sap to make one gallon of syrup. One can learn something new every year about making syrup if he is observing. There was a house that sat just out of the village on an old road that was never traveled verv much. The house was said to be haunted since the old gentleman died. One nimht mv girl friend and I went for a ride and came back on that road. Ab ut 1 1, of a mile before wo got to the haunted ' ouse we ran out of gasoline. There was only one thing to do, start walking. So with shakv knees and chattering teeth, we started. We w ro ne rlv bv the house when there came a scream followed b,r nrobbor one more frightening, if possible. V e were so frightened that wo could not move from our tracks for a minute. Then to our astonishment we started up the walk toward t e v-ouse, A raven flew in front of us and then the awful scream came a ain. I looked at girlfriend, Ravens, I whispered Remember the old gentleman had net ravens and just before he died he turned them loose. Lloyd Cushman ’51 A SCREAM AT MIGHT Margaret C-ary '53 Caught in a Storm in the Country It was early in the spring. I had decided to take a walk in the country. Suddenly lightning lashed through the sky and it start- ed to pour. It was dark as night and you could hardly see in front of you. As the lightning flashed again I saw an old house down the road. I made a run for it. I finally got there and knocked at the door. An old woman came and I asked her if I might stay there until the storm was over. She opened the door wider and I walked into a dingy room lighted by candles. She asked me to sit down. She went into another room and in a short time returned with some hot coffee. I welcomed the coffee gratefully. Suddenly my head felt heavy and I blanked out completely. I heard the woman give the most unearthly laugh I had ever heard. When I came to I was lying on the floor by the door. A man was standing over me, with the most horrible face I had ever seen. One eye was completely gone and the other was half shut. It looked as if he had burned his face with chemicals. They spoke loudly. He told me to get up and as I did a pain shot through my head.. I knew then that someone had put something in the coffee to knock me out. The nan suddenly laughed again, bringing me to my senses, and I opened the door and ran as fast 33 my legs would carry me. I came to a house a half mile down the road. The people opened the door and let me in. I told them my story and finally they said. You must be mistaken. There is no house within two miles of here. I looked out. The house was gone, was it a dream? I'll never know. Did it really happen, or Jean Carini '53 Soring A few daysago neorle said they had soring fever. But not now for winter is back in full force. Snow, rain and wind. The old story of no electricity, broken wires, no school.

Bellmont House � 50 PINES The pine trees softly v hisper, So gently there on the hill, I sat beneath them and listened, As they told how my brother was killed. As the sun shines down, The rain and snow will fall, He and many like him, Have solemnly given their all. I remember the day he left us, As he boarded the train to go, My mother crying beside me, It was then I loved him so. Then the day ve got the message. That he had died over there, My mother crying her heart out, Some how it didn’t seem quite fair. It took me a long time to realize He was haoov fighting for me, So ’•■ov as the sun is shining , I can see again the nine tree. Beverly Cary ’51 A HOME FOR JEANNIE Little Jeannie Frank was wandering the streets of Paris all alone. It was getting cold and dark and the dress Jeannie was wearing was very ragged and sin wore no coat at all. In her arms was her only possession--an old rag doll. As she was about to pass the gypsy tea room, some one spoke, Hello, little girl. Jeannie looked; there stood a young man with a kind face. A cold night for walking isn’t it? he asked. Yes sir, said Jeannie but I have no other place to go or nothing else to do. The man picked Jeannie up and said You can tell me your story while you eat your dinner. After eating, Jim took tired little Jeannie to his hotel. The man happened to be a very rich young man who was travel- ing for his father’s company, He had a wife named Jane in America. His name was Jim, Jim Snow. Their only child, a girl, had died. Maybe that’s why Jeannie touched Jim’s heart so. The next morning when Jeannie awoke, she was very much sur- prised to see a new dress, shoes, coat and hat in the chair beside her bed. She dressed quickly and then ran to the mirror to see herself. Then Jim came in and they went to breakfast. Jim told Jeannie that she was going to leave for America that afternoon. The ship would leave at 4 p.m. but they were on board by 3 o’clock because Jeannie wanted to be sure and not miss it. When the ship arrived in New York Jane was waiting on the dock for them. Now Jeannie has everything one could want. She has a real home, clothes, toys and two people who love her dearly, Alice Farnum ’51 RETURN TO LIFE Slowly, with much grinding of brakes the train came to A halt. Somehow Pete found himself going down the steps to the platform. Ridgcrow Station read the sign on the small build- ing. Shaking ever so slightly, he glanced about him. How familiar everything looked and those men over by the station door, laughing and talking among themselves. He knew them but could not place them correctly with the jumble of names in his mind. Oh well, he'd soon be able to chatter with them as he had done once before—if only--they had to believe in him now— over forty years! Yes, Pete had been away forty years. Forty years for some- thing he hadn’t done. For forty years his family, his wife and two sons, had worked endlessly and tirelessly to prove his inno- cence--to prove to the world that he hadn’t killed his brother. Tom had had money, lots of it. Pete was only a hard-working family man. He didn't have money but he did have something far more precious—happiness. Tom grew more and more discouraged with life as time went on. Then one day he ended it all. It was on a fishing trip. He and Pete thought they were the only ones around. So when it was learned that Tom had drowned everyone accused Pete of committ:iug the murder.

The activities got under way Friday night, February 10, with the boys and girls basketball teams playing host to West Paris. Both home teams came out victors. On Saturday, the ski and snowshoe events took place start- ing at 10:00 A.M, with the slalom. Dixfield and West Paris competed in the events with the Woodstock boys. A lunch was served at noon by the Junior class, followed by the remainder of the events in the afternoon. At five-thirty the Senior class put on a supper at the Grange Hall. The highlight of the Carnival was the ball and coronation of the queen on Saturday evening. With the orchestra playing ’’Winter Wonderland , the ski and snowshoe boys led the proces- sion and formed an arch with their ski poles for the queen and her court to pass through. Arthur Ring then escorted last year’s queen, Alberta Dunham, to the throne, followed by the attendants; Janet Fietila, Gwendolyn Cox, Orene Whitman, Bessie Dunham, and the queen candidates; Fhyllis Hathaway and Elouise Dunham. Little Mary Jane Abbott, the flower girl, preceded the King and Queen, Frederick Farnum and Joan Coffin. The Queen was crowned by the past Queen. The King and Queen dutifully led the grand march after which dancing was enjoyed the rest of the evening. During in- termission Mr. Thompson presented the prizes won by the boys who participated in the snowshoeing and skiing events.

Knights Berta’s Restaurant Earl Noyes THE CARNIVAL The Carnival events were put on with success Although some of us came out in a mess. It wasn't a good day because of the snow But we still went on skiing down on Gil's ski tow. One town was missing because of their beating, And that was because there wasn’t any cheating. There was skiing for Farnum and snowshoeing for Cox He said he liked it much better than having to box. There was yelling and screaming as we all took spills Yet there were a few that could come down over the hills. There was cross country and slalom where most of them stood And it made me feel silly because I never could. At night came the ball with the Queen so nice But still her shoes should have been put on with a vise. It all ended up with the school becoming richer Now we can buy baseballs for the use of our pitcher. Roger Strout ’52 CHEERLEADERS Our cheering squad consisted of Janet Pietila, Eleanor Wing, Bessie Dunham, and Christine Knights (Captain), Eirst we were given two cheers for try-outs. Everyone went into the gym where the girls in either twr.s or threes got in the middle of the fleor and did the cheers. The next day everyone had a chance to vote for the k whom they thought best. We were chosen from about 15� We decided to wear maroon jackets, which the school furnished for us, and gray skirts which we made ourselves, with the assistance of Mrs. Thompson. Many cart wheels were done by Janet and Eleanor, which made our cheering seem even more peppy. We went to Lewiston where the boys played Waterbor and won. That entered us in the tournament at Earmington, so Mr. Thompson sHggested to our Coach, Mrs. Crockett, that we have three mere cheer- leaders to go to Earmington. We chose Sylvia Whitman, Gwen Cox and Jo St. John. They wore gray sweaters and maroon skirts. They helped us very much and we know it was appreciated by all. We appreciate the support of the crowd and hepe they enjoyed hearing and seeing us as much as we enjoyed doing the cheers.

We are in a leaque with Mexic� , Buckfield, Dixfield, South Paris, and Rumford, playing each school once. The girls participating ares ELOUISE DURHAM ORENE WHITMAN ETHEL DAVIS JO ST.

During the afternoon, four softball games were played. Other schools present were Canton, Rumford, Mexico, and Fryeburg. We all had a good time, and appreciate the efforts of the Norway girls to make it a successful day.

Senior 3-act Play Don't Darken My Door I , a 3-act comedy, was presented by the Senior Class of Woodstock High School on April 14, with the cast of characters as follows: Roger Kent Roger Strout bachelor Rosemary Kent Phyllis Hathaway his romantic niece Tom Garrick Bellmont House Rosemary's persistent suitor Poppy Foster Alice.Farnum maid-of-all-work Alec Stubbins Richard Mills Poppy's devoted swain Jane Perkins Harriett Hathaway a writer of romances Louisa Featherstone Orene Whitman Susie Featherstone Elouise Dunham When a girl reads too many romances what chance has a mere man to win her? Rosemary wanted a lover like the one in Hearts Aflame , and she had no time for Tom. Her ad- miring maid, Poppy, felt the same way, and Alec was in des- pair over Poppy's sudden coldness. Then Jane Perkins, the author of the romantic books appears and she sets about re- pairing the damage her books have done. Tom and Alec soon make a hit with the girls by their romantic speeches. Even Rosemary's bachelor uncle, Roger Kent, begins to notice the good qualities of Jane Perkins, whom he does not know is the writer of all the romantic books which his niece reads. The finale comes when Rosemary and Tom elope, with Jane Perkins and the maiden ladies looking on.

Dear Alice, It is a pleasure to say ''Hello'1 to old friends through the Eureka, Some 13 or 14 years ago, I was drawing cartoons for that same Eureka, although I admit that none of them were ever hung in art galleries, I am at present here at Bellevue Hospital as resident on the Chest Service. A residency in a hospital is much the same as an internship, except that it's higher on the social plane and much easier. The resident supervises the intern and looks wise, the intern does the actual work and looks tired. (He usually is.) I am on the Chest Service, which is a branch of the hospital dealing with diseases of the lungs, of which TB is of course, by far the most common and most important. Bellevue is really a huge place and covers four city blocks. I still get lost in the bowels of it occaseionaly. One of the current topics of special interest to the Medical profession, but also concerning the country as a whole, is the ' question of Socialised'' medicine. This is an enormous subject, with much to say on either side, and I can hardly try to cover it in this letter except to state the conclusions I have drawn after a great deal of reading and thought, and my own personal experi- ence. In the first place, Government controlled medicine can not be expected to be an end in itself, but merely a larger wedge to split our system of free enterprise and individual initiative, and is a logical precursor to Government control of properties and indus- tries, which is in fact, socialism. As for Government controlled medicine itself: In the first place, it isn’t Free, In countries where it has been tried, the cost has been ten fold the original■estimates, and this excessive cost must be met by increased taxes, which,' as usual, puts the heaviest burden on the small income groups, I fear the quality of medical care would become inferior. Ger- man medicine under Hitler was a good example. And, although there would be a need for .nore doctors, I doubt there would be much-of an increase. In Britian, with its Free Government medicine, medical school enrollments nave not increased to meet the demand- the young Britons-feel, that, since they have to work for the Government anyway, they can do it just as 'well without putting in the many years of hard work and long hours necessary to become a doctor. The one thing I dislike most intensely about Government medi- cine stems from the unfortunate truth in the old saying, There’s always a few who louse it up for everyone else. Under the Free Government program, we can expect that the doctor will find him- self swamped by the lazy, the chronic conplainers, those who want to try the latest drug or teat they have read about in the papers, whether they need it c-r not, ti ■'? ■ ■ ho decide they need a complete check up for every sneeze, a . . vo.i tho'.e who want to put the baby in the hospital for two weeks ■ c that they can take a vacation. (And don’t thirl: trie hasn’t happened!) With all this on hi3 hands, the doctor v;jJ ] hardly ’av time left over to see patients who should be 3con, end those that actually do get sick will be forced tu die or got volt strictly on their own, I think in the State of Haine, we are more likely to want to stand on our own foot, and a e not enthusiastic about great promi- ses of :,Free services from the• Government. Perhaps it is because wo live nearer the fundamentals, and have moro good old horse sense. Vie know you can’t slash a stand of timber and go back next year and cut the same amount of wood from it. Vie know you can’t keep harvesting crops from the soil without putting something back. And we feel that it is quite natural for a-man to work for a liv- ing and look after himself. Unfortunately, many ncople do not feel this way. They look upon the Government as a huge tree that can go on perpetually growing magic plums and dropping them in their laps, while they sit idly by and wait. '.’’Free1' Government medicine is just one of those plums.' I think, and I feel you’ll agree, that if such a plum does drop, these people will find it to he not nearly as sweet-as they expected- and will also discover that to produce this plum, that old tree requires an awful lot of fertilizer- in the way of big, fat juicy pay roll deduction taxes! '.Jith my best regards to students, faculty and alumni of Woodstock High- Sincerely yours, (Signed) B. Albert Ring, M.D, W.H.S. ’37 _ Colo, Iowa March 26, 1950 Dear Alumni Editor, Your request for a letter for this year’s Eureka suddenly made me realize ten years have passed since the Class of 1940 graduated from gocd old Woodsto k High. Soijie of us are-many miles from Eryar.t Pond nour I don’t think one of us, in our large class of eight girls, has followed her then expected career I certainly never’dreamed I’d be living on a big farm in Iowa� We live on a typical Iowa farm of 160 acres and every year-raise over 100 pigs, fatten about 50 cattle, have 2 cows, 100 laying hens, and raise 225 chicken each spring. The main crop in Iowa is corn. The land here is gently rolling and one can see for miles in every direction. There is very little natural timber, except for that along creeks and rivers. All the other trees on farms and in the towns were planted- We live in the center of the state, just 3 miles spued of U. S. Highway no, 30, the Lincoln Highway. If any of our Bryant Pond friends happen to go through Iowa, we’d be very pleased to have them pay us a visits I have often been asked, Isn’t it awfully cold in Maine? When it’s 95 or 100 degrees in the shade and a hot south west wind blowing, I certainly miss Lake Chris- topher. I miss the Baked Bean suppers too. Iowans don’t know what good baked beans are like. I’m not the only Maine person living in Iowa. A girl who wont to school to Inez Howe in Caribou, lives in the next town. She, too, married a soldier. Our most prized possession is our little boy, Billy who is l6 months old now. Ue plan to drive back to Maine at our first opportunity and visit all our friends and relations. I'm hoping it will be quite soon. Sincerely, (Signed) Margaret Howe Schnur Boston, Mass, 10 March 1950 Hi Alice I feel that it’s an honor to be called upon to write about my experiences but I wish to take this as an opportunity to convey a sincere message instead if I may. Your letter caused me to pause and think back over High- School days. So many of us I remember, just couldn't wait to become Seniors and graduate. Well here I am, Nine years later, of my own volition, a Freshman, or, as we prefer to be called a first year dental student, starting a new phase of schooling and paying dearly for it too. When is school over? I'd like to ans- wer that in this way:a fellow, now a friend as well as classmate of mine mentioned to me the other day that he started school at the University of Maine in 1927. That impressed me because I can remember when I would have thought him old indeed i Anyway schooling is education--and education is priceless. That includes not only book learning, but also social activities and sports as well. To draw from my own experiences being in the service, learning to fly, the trip to California'all were educations m themselves. Our whole lives are filled with, first, learning then applying, followed by success and happiness. High School is an-important factor in making that ultimately possible. Best of all, and I think that lator on you’ll agree, High-School days are among the happiest of our lives. Furthermore, they will help make later life equally so. Recognize them for their value now, and at the same time, enjoy them to the utmost. Through my folks I learn of your many activites. I think the winter carnival and ball is a splendid idea—a lot of fun. too, Ihe basketball teams sure have compiled fine records. Good going! Bet the girls could trim the boys with a little help! Gonna beat West Paris in baseball this spring? Now that I think of it, I have to go to school tomorrow-- Saturday, no less. Well, that's the way it goes! Thank you, Alumni Editor, Sincerely, (Signed) Steve Chase Dear Students and Fellow Alumni: Writing about the different types of nursing is a bit difficult for me as my experience has been limited to a very few of the many open to Profes- sional Registered Nurses. Therfore, 1 will try to tell you something of the fields I am familiar with and also mention briefly some of the others. Nursing is becoming more and more specialized and actual bed side care is rapidly being turned over to Licensed Practical Nurses. However, it is my opinion that sticking to one specialty over a long period of tima is not good as, little by little, one comes to have a knowledge only of ones own special type of nursing. It is more desirable to know something of several types and be better rounded professional. To start at the beginning, the student nurse is given theory and practice in a variety of things which may give her some idea as to what she will pre- fer to do after graduation. She gets experience in surgical nursing of men, women and children which includes actual operating room and delivery room work as well as the after care in all types of cases. From the medical standpoint, she is taught to care for patients with everything from heart disease to chicken pox. Of course, both medicine and surgery can be broken down into numerous parts and some of these I will mention later. Many states now require nurses to have had a course in psychiatric nursing before they can be issued a license. Since this is the type of work I am now doing I will try to tell you something about it. In the first place, care of the mentally ill gives a person a better under- standing of people on the outside who are mentally sound and emotionally well balanced or unstable and highstrung. Secondly, I hope to erase the impression, which I am sure many of you have, that a mental hospital is a horrible place where wild, raving people are locked up, feared and kept in torturing restraints. Actually, a few wards are not even locked and only a small number of the pa- tients are restrained—most of these in a camisole which is another and better term for 'straight jacket'. Many of the men and women who go to the weekly dances or movies are so well-dressed and behave so well that many lay people would have no idea that they are patients. Every one on our disturbed ward is given a daily shower and clean clothes and the other wards give showers at least twice weekly. As fast as possible new admissions who are good subjects are started on Electro-Shock Therapy which is followed up by Insulin Shock for many of the younger ones. Occasionally relatives will not give permission for these treatments because they have heard that they are dangerous and painful. Let me explain that unless the patient is physically able to take these shocks they are not given and no pain is felt at all. The cry which may be heard at the first is merely the sound of the air being expressed from the lungs. Most patients upon awakening do not realize that they have yet been treated. We have been getting a very good percentage of cures with this therapy. That fact and the daily unexpected and amusing incidents keeps the routine from be- coming too depressing, but many more nurses arc needed for this work which re- quires strict observation in order to be able to understand these people and help them recover. In spite of two vacations a year, good pay and other in- ducements offered by the state we are still very short of help. In my own building there are no nurses on the evening and night shifts and the super- vision is done by attendants who should not have to take this responsibility as they are not trained for the work required of them. Last August and September I gained valuable experience in a very different field of nursing at the 7 estchestcr County hospital where the Polio cases of that area were brought. There was an endless round of applying hot packs, keep- ing breathing passages clear of mucous by means of a suction and making sure that the respirators were working properly. This was in addition to giving medications and nourishment, keeping the patient clean and comfortable, pre- venting bed sores, trying to overcome his fears and weaning him from the respi- rator upon which he had become so dependent. One patient, acutely ill, was enough to keep one nurse busy for eight hours. Most of my time there was spent in caring for an eighteen year old boy who was in a respirator and had had an incision made into his trachea by which to give him oxygen. For days he was not expected to live and each night when I went on duty I expected to find that he had gone. Just when he seemed to be getting better he got over-tired while first out of the respirator and suffered a relapse, becoming worse than before. After many more days of constant care and attention he again improved, was sent to a different ward without a special nurse and was able to do many things for himself although his left arm and leg were weak and could be used very little. So many people seem to have a great fear of catching some disease from those afflicted with it. If you know a person has a communicable disease there is no reason to fear it because you can take the necessary precautions to prevent your own infection. It is in undiagnosed cases such as tuberculosis among the people with whom you come in contact every day that the danger lies. Last year, in the hospital I mentioned before, only one person, a student nurse, of all the people caring for these patients, contracted Polio and she was the only such case over a period of many years. While at Grasslands Hospital I had the opportunity of meeting nurses from a number of states and from many different positions. There was a girl from Massachusetts on vacation. She left the first of September to go back to a hospital in Springfield as the Assistant Directress of Nurses. One man was over seventy years old and had received some of his training in England, Several girls were from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois and Virginia. One man and his wife were from California. Another girl had trained in Cal- ifornia but had come to New York to do Public Health Nursing, Each week-end on her days off she came up from the city to give us a hand. You can imagine that we had some interesting discussions on a wide variety of subjects. The people you meet| both bad and good, is one of the nicest things about nursing. Previous to this type of work I was on night duty on the Obstetrical floor of a small hospital. There were only graduate nurses, most of whom had been there for some time. They insisted that things be done the way they had been doing them for a long time so it was rather discouraging as the babies were not cared for as they should be. At this hospital you might be called upon to do most anything. One night the supervisor asked me to go out on the ambulance to bring in a man with a gun shot wound, no one knew how bad. At 1 A.LI. we rushed through the intersections with sirens screaming to a small town a short distance away. There we saw policemen and a group of people gathered around an automobile in the left ditch. Beside it, on the ground, was the badly frightened seventeen year old boy who had stolen the car after escaping from a reform school. Fortunately, all that could be found was a small burned area on one hip where the bullet had graced it. He was taken back to the hospital to be seen by a doctor and then spent the rest of the night in jail. Anyone who ha - a great deal of interest in Obstetrics can take a post— graduate course in ilt and become a supervisor. This is true of the nursing of children, operating room work, anesthesia and many others. One of the girls with -whom I work -went on to specialize in anesthesia and has been do- ing it for twelve years, giving anesthesia for many well-known doctors both here and over-seas while in the Army, The Public Health Department has a great reed for nurses. It takes quite a bit of futher training with little pay before one becomes a full-fledged Public Health Nurse but it is rewarding in other ways. This may have given some of you who have managed to get through it some idea of the many opportunities for nurses and I hope some of you girls will decide to join us in this, the most honored of all professions for women. If this does not appeal to your particular taste, you would be wise to learn to do something else with which to support yourself should the need ever arise. Only recently one of the young men at the hospital became sick, and died leaving his wife with a small child and a baby. She is indeed fortunate in that she has a way of supporting her family, in this case nursing. . Not to leave you fellows out entirely, there is also a place in nursing for some of you in positions which you could handle much better than a woman could. Don't get the idea that a he-man would look silly doing nursing. Finally, let me give you just a word of advice. Whether you chose to do nursing or something else entirely, when and if the time ever comes when you can no longer get a laugh from your job, it is time to change. Lots of luck in whatever your chosen field. Sincerely (signed) Olive Howe DEPARTMENT OF VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE EAST CORINTH ACADEMY EAST CORINTH, ME. May 5, 1950 Miss Alice Farnum Bryant Pond, Maine Dear Alice; Thanks for the letter concerning communications from the alumni I appreciate what you are doing for the school publication, the Eureka, This is my tenth year at East Corinth Academy as Instructor of Vocational Agriculture. I have been teaching Agriculture twelve consecutive years since graduating from the University of Maine in 193 . I enjoy the work now even more than when I first started teaching. For the past four vears I have also served as Supervisor of the local Institutional On The Farm Training Program for veterans. We have had an average of 75 veterans enrolled in this school farming program. We have six instructors for this program alone. The work is tremendously interesting as these veterans are all engaged in farming. They are right out there facing the actual problems and it seems to me that there can be no better teaching scheme than regular class-room instruction supplemented with supervised instruction on the farm for these boys. Mv regular work consists’of class-room'instruction, Farm Mechanics in school shoo; project work, and F.F.A. Club work. Field trios, farm skills, laboratory work, contests give the program Plenty of variety. hTiile at Bryant Pond recently, I had an opportunity to vist Woodstock High and observe the changes that have taken place since I attended there. The building has been cared for very’ well, everything looked fine',‘and I'm sure that new Chem. Lab. will be a real asset. W.H.S., its gymnasium and other ’ facilities should give every student a feeling of pride. Thanks for thinking of me and best of Duck with the Eureka. Sincerely, (signed) Lester Felt The Falmouth Publishing House of Portland is publishing in June a book of poems, Maine Heritage , by Elizabeth Hartsgrove and Ruth Alexandria Forbes, with a collection of pictures by Ralph Blood. Ruth was a graduate of Woodstock High School in the class of 1928. A folder describing the book reads, Born and reared in Bryant Pond where the hills of Oxford County are marked by peace- ful farms and quiet villages, she has always been interested in the character of Maine people and this interest is reflected in her poems. Ruth writes us, Birthplace , as you may suspect, is written about my grandfather’s farm (I still always think of it that way) that burned down two or three yoars ago. Mrs. Tyler wrote my mother about it. I like to write about things like that, country things. BIRTHPLACE by Ruth Forbes I have the letter that you wrote to me Saying the farm had burned. You know That not one thing that lives in memory Is ever gone. . . Nothing has changed, I see it still, The grey-roofed house set down within The shadow of the ledge-scarred hill Facing the village road. Come Enter the house with me, in by the shed Where the wood is piled; we could have gone Around by the front door instead But we always come this way. Walk through the changeless rooms with me; See, too, how the garden sleeps Beneath the noon-day sun, You will agree That I was right. All’s as it was. No fire could ever touch this place, No weeds encroach or aiders grow Where this path winds. Like some beloved face I wear it ever in my heart. No, nothing lias changed. Eternity Keeps this dear spot forever fair And time may know with certainty I live here still. This is the place Where I was born.
