Jean QdWni was dressed as the mother and Francis Falmer as the father. The remaining members made up the rest of the family and its helpers, with Janet and John Pietila as the babies. During this year we lost Yesloy Cox, Alphy Robbins, Doris Johnson, and Raymond Berryment. ’ Ye also had a new member join us, Mildred Smith from Madison, lien we gathered together for our Sophomore year v e realized that Janet Pietila had become Mrs. Shirley Poland, and also Mildred Smith had 1 j t us. Ye found that we had two new—comers — Althea Rogers from •Jeso Paris and Lois Scribner from Gould Academy. Lois was with us only this year. Before long John Pietila and Francis Palmer left us. In our Junior year Alfred Tibbetts tranferrod to ’.Yoodstock from Canton, but left before long to become employed at Stowcll's Mill. During this year each member of the class participated in Prize Speaking. At last, September 1952, we came together for our last steps in high school education. Norma Stevens has left us to'become Mrs. Merle MeInnis. Also Mary Emery has become Mrs. dames Cobb, but she continues with the group. Then comes the day ’. hen we arc again dressed in odd clothes, we realize that this time it isn’t Freshman Reception but the Senior Class Pl y, Bashful Bertie . tTc all took part in this great ovont. During the past four years Sylvia 1 hitman, Roberta Farrington, Mary Dunham, Margaret Cary, and Mary Cobb were very active in sports. ’Ye were privileged to have Althea Rogers go to Girl’s State last year, and also to have Jean Carini win the American Legion Essay Contest. Mary Dunham was chosen Carnival Queen with James Andrews as Carnival King. In the past four years Jean Carini and Margaret Cary have taken part in Public Speaking with Althea Rogers also participating in it for two years. a • %'a -' On Sunday evening, April 19, six Senior girls, with Mrs Bessie House as chaperone, started for Portland in cars. At 8:30 vre met Standish High School at Union Station and took a chartered Paine Central Bus to New York with then. We stopped for lunch at a restaurant about 2 a.m., and arrived at the Hotel New Yorker about 5:30 in the morning. ’To got settled in our rooms and at 9 o'clock we started a tour through Chinatown, downtown New York and the . 'Bowery. We ended up at the dock to take the boat to the Statue of Liberty, but because of a little mistake in tickets we couldn't take this tour until later. Wc had to take a subway back to the Hotel, and then we got lost for the first time. Some of us got off at the wrong stopj and when the others got off two stops later and tried to go back to meet the others we passed them on a different subway. I don't think any of us realize how we ever net again, which was on Broadway. That first night'vre vrent to a T V broadcast, a Quiz show conducted by John Reed ring. Then, as all of us were very sleepy, vre went back to the Hotel again. Tuesday morning vre felt very refreshed and I'm sure all felt more like seeing things. At 9:30 wc wont to Radio City Music Hall. I think this was the most memorable and the most enjoyed place vre went. Yfe saw BY the Light of the Silvery Moon , with Doris Day and Gordon MacRae. Also there was a wonderful stage show, and the Rockcttcs dancing. This lasted quite late into the afternoon. In the evening we vrent to a three-dimension movie, Tho House of wax . After it there was a stage show with Eddie FisherI Y cdncsday morning we vrent to the Statue of Liberty. Most of us went to the top of the Statue, but Jean Carini and Bessie House got sick climbing and vrent back. In the afternoon wc went to the top of the Empire State Building, whore vre had our voices recorded and listened to a lecture telling about the different buildings vre could see. In the evening vre vrent to an Ice Rcvievr and a movie Call Me Madame . We vre re all so tired vre didn't stay to sec much of the movie. Thursday wc had all day free to go shopping. This vre certainly enjoyed. At 11:30 vre started for home. We stopped in Massachusetts for breakfast and reached Portland at 8 o'clock in the morning, Bellmont House and Robort Farrington met us there. V r ' „ _ We had a very enjoyable trip a§d saw mpy,'things vrhich amazed us in New York, but vre were all very glad to get hdme 1 _ EmCF Sf a % WOULD PEACE At the end of World War IT, the war to end all wars”, it was hoped by the vast majority of the world’s people that at last we were entering upon an era of peace. Soon it became evident that this was not to be. The desire of a few to dominate the world and spread their way of living was threatening to endanger our freedom. The threat of Communism has spread rapidly, through its control of smaller satellite nations, the cold war, and finally by force in Korea. Its agents are increas- ingly seeking to worm their way into important positions in this country, so that we may gradually become weaker, and fall prey to their evil way of thinking. The world is now divided into two camps; the Communists in the East, and the free-thinking people of the West. That can we do to combat this threat and preserve peace in years to come? First, we must build our de- fences to a point where no one will dare attack us. This must be done without bringing financial and econ- omical ruin to ourselves. e must exercise our privi- leges as a free people in choosing our leaders widely, and then follow their decisions. We must remain united and spread truth the world over. Let us not fall be- fore the evil propaganda of those who would destroy us. Let us strive to keep our spiritual and moral thinking at a high level, lest fear drive us from the path we know is right. If we succeed in upholding these ideals and con- tinue to spread the truth, then, and only then, will there be world peace. Roberta Farrington '53 WHY I'M GLAD I'M AN AMERICAN I'm glad I am an American because in America there are many more privileges than in some other countries. If you do something wrong, you are punished by law, not by one person, as in Russia, In America you have the freedom to say what you want to without someone putting you in front of a firing squad, or making you work in a salt mine for the rest of your life. You have a right to be a part f the government and to be a member of any other organization that you want to join. Everyone should be proud to live in America% Evelyn Bean '56 AFTER GRADUATION--- WHAT? Today a ouestion that faces each and every boy and girl about to graduate is whether or not to go to college. Many boys say that it is no use to go further in school because they will be drafted into the ser- vice after they get out. This is very true; but with education, they may be able to become high-ranking officers, or major in some important field. Today many—too many-- do not stop to realize that there is a bright side to the service. The boys say that there is no use in trying to gain more know- ledge as they will only be sent to Korea to fight, and perhaps be killed. This may be true to a certain extent, but it is not necessarily so. Have you ever noticed that only thirty-six out of a thousand get killed? Thousands go into the service and find oppor- tunities they have never thought possible. As for the girls, there are also countless oppor- tunities for them, both in the service and in civilian life. '.’omen of yesteryear did not have the choice of vocations that we have today. It is very wise for us all to attend a trade school or college after we finish high school to pre- pare for some vocation. You may say, I don't like school, and there is no future in doing something you don’t like. No doubt you have heard your elders re- mind you that school days are the happiest days of your life; and when you really stop to think, isn’t it true? Think of all your friends, and fun you have with them; Regardless of how much you may dread tests, there is always a friend near to give you that sympa- thetic word that will make the sun shine again. In this wide, wide world we have many tests—not always on something we have studied. Tests of our ability to do things oftimes are much harder to endure than the tests of school. So how about it? Let’s get the best preparation possible for our life work!!I! Althea Rogers ’53 Awarded 19$3 American Legion Essay Contest Ity Duties As A Citizen” A large passenger train may be wrecked; many lives may be lost, for the reason that imperfect casting in an engine wheel, overlooked by a careless or incompetent inspector, may cause a train to become derailed. Because one man my fail to do his work efficiently, many lives may be lost. They depended on his work. The same principle applies in true citizenship. If one person fails to do his duty, a whole community, perhaps.our whole country, might pay ’.' hat would happen if our President failed to do his work efficiently? Unless he has our support and unless we perform our duties effectively, he cannot run this great democracy. In a recent survey, it was reported that four out of five people were unable to answer the question, What is an American?” This being true, how will we protect ourselves from totalitarianism? How will we convince others that democracy is the best form of government; for the people, and by a great people? Ask a Communist what he stands for; anyone of them will give you a full description of their way of life, what they believe. And yet, we Americans cannot answer the same questioni If we are truly Americans, we will perform our duties accordingly. It is fine to listen to election returns, after you have done your duty by casting your vote. The majority of citizens who don’t vote use the excuse, I don't have time. Besides, my vote won't matter. I am only one cog in the great wheel.” In a way the latter statement is true. Everyone of us is a tiny cog in a great ’.heel. But to keep the big wheel rolling, every little cog must do its share of work. If even a few cogs are removed, the wheel cannot run smoothly. Thus it is with our country. Don't dwell on the opinion that the American government can run efficiently without your help. It cannot! Everyone of its one hundred fifty-eight million citizens must do their part, 7e have only to observe the expression on the face of a foreigner who is taking the oath of Allegiance when becoming a citizen to realize that America is truly the land of the free and the home of the brave. As a citizen, it is our duty to participate in civilservice programs. It is our duty to take an interest in the school, P.T.A., church, and other organizations that enable us to get along with people. If we do not learn this important function early in life, we need never hope for world peace. limy years ago, we fought for our rights. If we do not fight to keep them, they will be taken from us. The future depends on you, citizens of America. Will you let your freedom slip away from you, into the hands of cruel dictators, or will you help keep America strong, by observing your duties and maintaining your heritage? Janice Goss Second Prize in American Legion Essay Contest. L!y Duties As a Citizen” In the very early days of the Honan Empire, the proudest boast a man could make was, Civis Romanus sum,” (l am a Roman Citizen.) I am an American citizen, and as a citizen I have many duties that I must perform the rest of my life. Ity first duty i3 obeying the lavs of the government. This is true of anything that I hope to take part in, A football game cannot be played without rules and v.re cannot expect to accomplish anything unless we, as citizens of the United States, obey the government laws that they enacted for our benefit. Secondly, I must be Trilling to cooperate with this government by will- fully and voluntarily performing these duties that the government asks of me. This duty covers holding.public office if elected, serving on juries and serving in the military forces to help my country in need. Thirdly, as a true citizen, I am expected to vote. I will not be indifferent about this third duty. Today, many people have become in- different about voting and that means they do not care who they serve under. Many of the people complain about the men and women who hold office, but sometimes it holds true that they themselves'have helped put them there by being indifferent about voting. Therefore; as citizens, everyone should vote, not only because they are asked to, but because they have an interest in this wonderful country of ours. The man you vant to hold such an office cannot get there by himself. He needs help and the way to help is by voting. Fourthly, I should help create ai intelligent and just public opinion. In a democracy, public opinion tends to rule, and public opinion cannot rise any higher than the beliefs and ideals of the citizens. These are my four big duties as a citizen, and I will follow them in hope that I can, in so mo small way, make this a better land to live in. Sylvia Whitman '53 Third prize in American Legion Essay Contest. ”I.y Duties as a citizen” Today, more than ever, the question arises ' That are my duties as a citizen?” We are all waking up” to the fact that America is facing a great crisis. This will determine'just what will happen to America in the future. And we wonder what we, as citizens, can do to have the out- come of this crisis fall in our favor. We can learn some of our duties in knowing the meaning of the word citizen”. It was derived from the Latin word civis . It was used to describe a person who had freedom and could exercise the practical and civil privilege of the Roman government. Here in America citizens are described as the people who oomposc the community and who arc obeying the lavs of a government for their wel- fare and protection - (continued) iy Duties as a Citizen (continued) No one can count the many rights and privileges we have as citizens. T.re have so many norc than the inhabitants of other countries. But how are wo to keep these rights? By carrying out the duties that will pro- tect these rights 1 One of our nost important duties is that of voting. Each citizen of the United States, who is of legal age, should go to the polls at voting time and cast their vote for the leader who appears nost favorable to then. There are, today only 62$ of the voting age who go to the polls. This leaves 30$ who stay at hone because their votes don't count . So many of us ought to take advantage and make voting our dutyl Another important duty is to attend all the meetings that will better our town or city. There are too many today who stay at hone on tovm meeting days instead of coning out to learn more about our duties to our tovm. There are other duties which include keeping our towns and cities neat. Each citizen should take a civic pride in their towns. In school we are taught to keep our school-yard neat and clean. At different tines of the year the high school and grammar school join together in giving the grounds a thorough cleaning. ’’.Tiy can't the tovm people do the sane? 1 Paying our taxes is another duty which faces us. These taxes go toward the arms that protect our countryThey pay the men that work for our government. They buy better land that lower the number of slums. And the nost important things that they pay for are the schools which we attend and the supplies for diese schools. In considering all our duties, which cover a large area, wc should try to perform then to the best of our abilities to make our homes, towns, cities, and states better places to live in. Jean Carini '53. More Respect for the Auto It seems unessential and needless to state that the auto is solider than the human body. It appears that some children of this vicinity are unaware of the fact. They don't realize the suffering and pain that accompanies an auto accident. Because there is a careful and quick-witted driver behind the wheel, it is no sign that he can do niracles with his machine. It is natural for an auto to slue on ice, coast a considerable distance before stopping, follow a straight path, and do extensive damage to the human body if it hits. I've heard the children and older folks say that there hasn't been anyone hit yet, so why worry? It is too late to worry after someone is hurt or killed. This isn't a pleasant thing to think of, but let's try to improve the situation. On your way to and from school, please show a little more respect for the autos that travel our highways. Remember the safety council's saying: In life as in baseball, it's the number of times you reach home safely that counts. Daniel Cole '5U SCHOOL SPIRIT A significant phase of the school and of the community is its spirit. The spirit is the atmosphere which prevails vdth respect to what is done and the attitude in which it is undertaken. All too often, school spirit is reserved only for interscholastic con- tests. It identifies itself with the spirit to win. On these days, enthusiasm runs high, loyalty is very much in evidence, and pupils and citizens have a common interest and a singleness of purpose. The playing of the Alma Mater brings young and old surging to their feet. The identification of the commu- nity and the school has reached the ultimate in association. I sun not saying that inter-school rivalry has no placej in fact, if properly conducted, it is wonderful. The point is, however, that if school spirit is limited to this interpretation, the real meaning of the term is missed, In the broad sense of the term, school spirit is much more than onthusiasm on special occasions. It is an intangible feeling which makes for group accord. It involves the atmosphere which radiates into all phases of the school program, and which colors every personal contact and relationship with the school. In this sense, school spirit manifests itself in the attitudes of its citizenry toward the school building, school boar£ Principal, teachers, pupils, and the work of the school. Good spirit does not happen by accident. It must be developed. It can come only '.dth constant effort to attain it. Once achieved, it takes hard work to maintain it. Our school annual, among other things, is an effort to inform the public about the school, and in this way parents and patrons will be kept in touch with the newor developments and problems of the school. Through this medium, it is hoped that school morale and community spirit will foster and that all vdll be encouraged to support the desirable activities and features of the school program. TYaync La go OUR FIAG Our flag is red and white and blue, But what do these colors moan to you? Just a flag flying on a holiday Or do you regard then in some other way? I'll tell you what these colors mean; Red is for blood our flag has seen, TVhite is for purity, some defy, Blue is loyalty that will not die. The stars in their comer will ever be God� s gift of united liberty. Andrea Poland This poem was published in the National Anthology of High School Poetry. No Greater Love In far-off Derby town there lived an old nan named Zeke. He had no one to care for him, and he was very lonely. One day as he sat in his porch, feeling very sorry for himself, he saw an old dog limping slowly nowhere. Zeke knew from the looks of the dog that he hadn't eaten for days, and he looked as lonely = .8 Zeke felt. As the old dog came closer, Zeke saw that he had but three legs and was blind in one eye. Poor soull ITo one to care! Zeke went into the kitchen and re- turned with some food which the dog ate, looking at Zeke as though he could never thank him enough. After he had eaten his fill, he curled up beside Zeke, with his head on the old man's lap, and went to sleep. During that week, they became inseparable comrades. No longer did Zeke feel sorry for himself; he was happy with his new friend. Zeke called this dog Ole Patch , because he had an orange spot on his head. The dog looked peaceful and content. One day as Zeke was walking down by the river, he fell, hitting his head on a rock and knocking himself out. Poor Ole Patch , not knowing what was the matter, licked and licked him. Finally he ran to a neighbor's house, and after much coaxing, persuaded the neighbor to go with him. As they carried Zeke off, Ole Patch plodded homeward, all alone. The day that they buried Zeke, they buried Ole Patch also. The grief had been too much for him. He had nothing to live for, no ene to care. Finally he curled un on the porch v here he'd first met Zeke and went to sleep, never to avrake. A true friend, he died of a broken hearty Nada Hinkley '55 THE PINES Of all the trees I've ever seen I like the pines the best, Their boughs reach out like a welcome hand, To salute and greet the rest. They're tall and oh, so stately] They proudly stand on high, And the branches wave in the sunlight To touch the pale blue sky. They're all a part of Ged's country, Like the land, the sea, the sky; And I want to live by the pine trees. Until the day I die. Sandra Martin '55 JUST A VIim EVENTING The wind whistled down the chimney and made us glad we were indoors. Even the dog could be seen to lift a drowsy eyelid in accord with our feelings, but quickly closed it and was on his way to dreamland again. Father, in his over-stuffed chair, was reclining and reading his favorite sports magazine. From behind it came a puff of gray smoke, which circled around the room. This quiet scene was interrupted occasionally by a slight argument over a game of cards which the children were playing. My thoughts went back to a similar scene in colonial days when my ancestors had lived. Perhaps the room wasn’t as warm, but the cheery people in it helped an inner tfamth to spread through its small group. Father then had a special chair of his own also, only it was a rocker. The children were gathered around his feet, and he was relating to them one of his famous stories that have been passed on from generation to generation. Then I came back to the present. The pet of the house, Old Joe, was lying in front of the fireplace asleep. Grandmother has a dream;'’ look on her face. She was knitting and seemed in a world of her own. Could it be that she was thinking the sane as I? Perhaps she was recalling her childhood. These are the kind of experiences everyone looks back upon with pleasure. To me, these simple scenes are the characteristics of American living. Simple? True, people will find themselves doing the same thing in generations to come. Uhat is it that makes us enjoy these things? That the family is together, that it is peaceful and quiet, or the memories it brings? All these things perhaps; but, in my mind, it’s because it’s just another evening at hone in winter tine. Alicia Emery '55 Grr-r-rJ The hardest thing there is to do (I think) is write a pone. I never know just what to say My thoughts insist they roan. I always grouch and growl the while, And never crack a smile But what could you so if -ou knev; that you knew Mot a thing? It presents quite a trail. Adelaide Emery 55 Who Knows? It'8 raining now—a cold, swift rain which will wash away all the stains of time, but not the memories in my mind. Ho, those will never be removed, for they are too horrible to forget. It all started on an evening similar to this one. It was raining then, too. I was on my way home from a meeting of the executive board of the mill when suddenly the motor in ry car died out. I stepped on the starter, but it was no use. Hater had got into the engine. There was nothing to do, but get out and walk to the next house. The road was dark and lonely. After ten minutes of walking, I reached what seemed to be an old and uninhabited place. I decided to knock in case anyone happened to be living there. A tiny beam of light came from a crack in the door, and presently I heard footsteps. The door opened revealing a tiny, hunch-backed man v ith small beady eyes. Come in, come in. We have been expecting you, he said in a high pitched voice. Expecting me? But.... Ah, yes. We fixed a nice little room all up for you. Right this way. How could he have known I was coming? And who was we 7 Why, the old geezer was off his trolleyl I decided to invent an excuse that would enable me to leave the place immediately. I only want to use your phone, I said. My car is just a little way down the road. Your car? Oh yes, that is all ta :en care of. How just follow me. Ee led me to a musty-smelling room containing a bed. You may rest here for the night, and in the morning we will carry out what is to be done. He left me with those last words to think of. I forced myself to stay in that room for two hours. When I thought I'd given him time to fall asleep, I tiptoed out of the room and down the hall. As I passed an open doorway, I glanced in. What i saw I shall never forget! ;ie was bent over the limp and decayed form of what once must have been a woman. There, my pet. You may rest comfortably here while I go visit our friend. Call me crazy will theyi I'll show them that through an- other's life, the dead may again live. I waited to hear no more, but ran out of that house and kept run- ning. Behind me I heard a voice cry in rage, Come back------. My life's work is ruined! Come back-------1' (Continued on next page) (Continued) I saw the light of a neighboring house. I ran to the door and banged. A man and his wife answered. QuickC I cried. You must help me. Your neighbor is mad. He wants my life. Neighbor? Why there is no neighbor within ten miles ef here. The house that used to be standing next door burned down year ago, taking its only occupant, an old man, with itl Jean Carini '53 Buddies And I In our hone town vre were known as THE TERRORS Y e never caused anyone much trouble, but we liked to have a good time. The time came when we were graduated from High School.and faced the gruesome task of war There didn't seem to be any alternative, so we all joined the larines. It happened that the fellows going in that month were to be trained as a state unit, so vre were all together. By novf, vre had started taking this thing seriously. This was to be done in earnest, so we buck- led down. Those long, hot, dusty, and always strict days of training were upon us. v,re worked hard and long, and finally vre finished our basic training and got home. Yfe really had a good time while vre vrere there because we knew it to be our last visit for sometime. V hen our leave came to an end, we started for our camp, half laughing about the time at home, and the other half dead serious about the future. As we expected, we had orders to ship to the front when we reached camp. This was no surprise, because the war had taken a sudden turn for the worst in the past month. So off vre went, bound for somewhere-nobody knew just where. After a few weeks of salty air, and the bruises wo received when the ship launched and creaked over the gigantic waves, we landed on good old terra firma. For a week we stayed at camp and got rested for he weeks to come, while the officers shouted and ran here and there, trying to get the troops mobilized and fitted for the real thing. The big time came when everyone was asleep. I could see my buddies turning and twitching in their sleep, as they did at home, on some of our escapades that kept us out all night. T.rithin two hours, the place looked as though no one had .eon there at all. The truck roared and jumped, and you could sec men strewed over the bottom of the truck bodies. Their swearing was drowned out by the clang of t. c tanks at the rear. Two days later, we reached the point where no man likes the sceneryj the fires had made everything black and charred, and a stealthy quietness hung over the land like the lull before a storm. Ditches vrere around like those in irrigated fields, only these had blood-stained gravel in the bottom of them. e three stood there almost ready to drop at a second's notice, when the order for the trucks to move on was given. (continued or next page) page 2 j.ty Buddies And I There we were 1 The rest of the way re had to manage by foot But that v asn't far. My buddies said, Tiro miles , but they couldn’t prove any- thing by nej I thought we had been walking all day. ’Then we climbed out of our bunks the next morning the order was to go out on patrol, .'e three were among the seven picked to go, and I Tias supposed to report when no got back, fe set out for the crest of the hill, r hich we made with case. On the other side r as a village in which we had to investigate. Knowing the dangers of snipers, booby traps and all that goes with war, we set out for the desolate, bomb- torn, fire-charred town. As I was the leader of the party, I was at the head. Vfe were about half way through the town, when the unmistakeable clatting of a tommy gun echoed and rang through the street. I hardly dared to turn around, but I did in time to sec my buddies slouching slowly to the ground, hanging to their stomachs in agony. I had never left them before and I vrasn't going to now. I crept back, sneaking along beside the so-called walk, my lower lip almost shaking off. As I bent over them to chock on their fatal wounds, I heard the shrill whistle of a piece of lead go over my head. It was as though I had developed a head ache and everything ’.vas going black. As I fell across the two parallel bodies of my buddies, I felt the warm blood trickle down my neck from the aching head that once had not a care in the world. I always had joked with my two buddies of a time like this. I thought of the next party to come out and try to return the information which I had been sent to get. Then a sharp pain shot through my head, only this pain was different, like the closing of a door when you are halfway through.

Herbert V hitman 56 This poem, A Lonely Soldier” with Pines by Sandra Martin and one by Andrea Poland, was published in the 1952 Anthology of High School Poetry published by the National Association of High School Poetry. A Lonely Soldier He sat alone on the battle ground, where all his buddies lay His only thought was, Tell me. Lord, why must it be this way? These boys who lie here have given their lives For parents and friends and children and'wives. But look at me, I’ve no parents nor gals, I would gladly have died to save my pals. I’m sure God’s answer to this boy would be, My son, these boys have died for Me; And some day when all the skies are clear, They’ll meet their friends and loved ones here. Jacquelyn Rich '55 V Muddy Roads It is at this time of mud and slosh, That cars make the roads quite a bosh, Seeing such a scene from an automobile seat, A driver will know quite well what to meet, So with a grinding of gears and a rip and a roar, You get the old wreck right to the floor. Oh she coughs and she spits and the radiator is hissingr You look behind and a fender is missing, And when you are out and don’t feel so gay, Boy, how you wish for good old Fay !! Rex Martin '55 My Ford I once had a car that ran good Until something happened under the hood I heard a bang, thought 'twas a tire But only to find it was back-fire This was by no means much of a jpke Iput on the brake and came to a stop About the time the engine blew its top I jumped out and lifted the hood And steam rose uo where I stood My Ford just seemed to fall apart Like an old dilapidated cart Now my Ford is a rusted mass But in its dav it sure hnd class. Phillip Farringtim r5 I Learned the Hard T7ay The policenan scowled deeply as he issued the ticket, Maybe this will teach you not to park near the hydrant I he snapped. Placing the ticket inside ny wallet, I drove off, feeling low and discouraged. Try do they always have to practice the law on net .'as it ry fault if it was snowing hard when I parked there? '. hat did they expect ne to do - have a radar set installed to tell if a hydrant was buried in the snow bank? The policenan should have warned ne that I was parked beside a hydrant; for aftcrall, it was shoveled out while I was making a business call, I have paid over thirty dollars in the last half year in fines and I'm getting sick of itt I roared up in front of Judge Dorc's residence and screeched to a halt. Thinking about this whole situation hadn't done ne any good, ]'y temper had reached the boiling point. Something was bound to happen. As I stormed up the walk, a feeling of superiority swept over ne. vho vas I to take orders from a half-baked judge? The big glass door slanncd behind ne. Many tines I had stepped into this hall. Ly footsteps were cushioned by the thick green rug that blanketed the floor. This place was a mansion compared with ny home, Mhy shouldn't it be? After all, it was part of ny fines that had enabled this old Shylock to reside in such a palace. As I entered Jud e Dorc's office, I saw him seated majestically behind his well-polished desk. At the sound of the door closing behind me, the judge glanced up over the top of his black-rimmed glasses. His eyes blazed as he glared at me. Then a smile flitted across his wrinkled old face — the snile that he always had when I entered his office. Judge Dore smirked several times as he gazed at me. The tension was getting the best of me when he finally broke the silence. ,rJell, welll Aren't you getting to be sort of a regular caller, Mr. Clark? he sneered. The pent-up emotion inside ne was growing more intense. I wanted to reach out and cuff him. Instead, I held myself in check and nervous- ly handed him the ticket. Judge Dore didn't seen to notice it. He was having-his fun and I realized it. Suddenly, before I could control myself, I was over the top of his desk and was holding the frail judge by the collar of his coat. Then, as suddenly, ny senses returned, '.liat was I doing anyway? This was no way to take out ny spite on him. I would gain nothing by violence, ‘hat he needed was a good tongue-lashing. Judge Dorc's face had become livid. I had scared the living day- lights out of him and the. was just what I had intended to do. He was nervously retreating when the telephone rang. Judge Dore clanbered toward tho phone. Ho was very unsteady on his feet. I must have frightened him nore that I should have. But I was still filled with rage. I would have paid well to sec him wither to the floor like a snake. I Learned the Hard ’ ay Page 2 As Judge Dore picked up the receiver and spoke, I started with a jerk. An excited voice was calling for no. I leaped to the judge's side and grabbed the receiver fron hin. The words I heard were stbnning— paralyzing! Hr, Clark, the excited, high-pitched voice shouted, your hone is on fire and there isn't any hope of saving it. Firemen were delayed because 3onc fool parked his car in front of tho fire station, That was all, and all that needed to be said, 1-iy mind was hazy as I ran fron the building, sprang into my car, and roared down Main Street at top speed. One thought possessed me, 1'y family—were they in the burning house? As I neared Summer Street, a cloud of smoke could be seen billowing high into tho already cloudy sky. Cars were parked on both sides of the street, so I had to mm a considerable distance. As I neared the scene of the blaze, I experienced the happiest moment I shall evor know. All members of my family were standing on an adjacent lawn, very much alive and safe, . 'hat happened in the next few minutes I shall never know, I!y heart was so swelled with joy I didn't care what happened to the house. The next day was a busy one lor me, but it marked a most important milestone in my life, I made arrangements for rebuilding; but more important than that, I was starting to live a new life. This new life was begun by apo] o giz lng to the judge, I had learned my lesson by another man's mistake—a costly one for me, I had learned to obey the laws because they arc made for our benefit and protection, Daniel Cole 'fjli. A Soldier's Letter I am eating my vitamins and my diet I keep; I have fresh air and sunshine and plenty of sleep. But something is missing in this faraway place, 'Tis the smile on your lips and the love in your face. Every evening when shadows are starting to fall, I think of the sorrow this is causing to all. I wonder if God is helping from there, Or if by some chance He doesn't caj’e. I often try to express this one thought But the boys feel different--those that have fought. So, Dad and Mom, I'm asking this day If you will remember each night to pray. Pray for a land that is free from sorrow, With love and kindness and a bright new tomorrow. And then after this wicked war is done, I'll know that, together with Him, we have won.

On May 18, Adelaide Emery, Alicia Emery, Nada Hinkley and Andrea Poland participated in the high school prize speaking contest. It had been hoped to have public speaking meets with other schools this spring, so that more students might have an opportunity to gain experience. However lack of tine and the pressure of other activities have seemed to make any further exhibitions this year inadvisable. WESTERN MAI N E CHAMP In our very successful lxnscbr.ll season of 1952, we owe a great deal to our coach, Mr. Thompson, for keeping up our norale in the tough' spots, the ■’.;cll organized team, and the well arranged tournament ganes, in which we bccane ’Testem laino Champions. Y e opened the season by taking on Andover, at hone. Burton Hath— array was on the hill for us, and Sennott for Andover,'and behind the constant hitting of Rex Martin, who had a 3 for 5 day, we took them, over 12 to 5« Next we were entertained at Hebron, on their spacious field. Fred Farnun did the twirling for Tfoodstock, and Thompson took the punishment for Hebron, Behind 5 walks issued to Phil Farrington, and a U for 5 day turned in by Famum, including a home run, we trampled on Hebron 17 to 3� !e traveled to Andover next to squeak by them 1$ to liu 3x11 Mason opposed Bennett on the mound, Farnum collecting 3 for 5 at the plate. At Canton Burt Hathaway opposed Irish, to win his game 20 to 2, while cousin Alton Hathaway got 3 for 3, including a home run, ' Our old rival Yfest Paris entertained us at our field, with Fa mum winning his game from Polvinen 10 to 2. He helped his cause by slamming out 3 for 5« Dixfield came to town to hand us our only regular season loss, v ith Farnum and. B. Hathaway struggling against Childs and E. Stinneford. But they couldn't hold down reliable Rex Martin with a 2 for 3 day. Next'wo 'rent to Yfest Paris, with Fred farnum winning his game from Jim young, 15 to 6, Farnun also polled 5 for 6, Canton was our next host; in which Alton Hathaway made his first pitching debut, against Irish., in a b inning game, which we took 13 to 1. Big Ed Mason banged out 3 for 3 to help the cause. Tic won a 7 to h decision over Buclcfield, as Burton Hathaway out- pitc’.cd Swift, Relible Re:' rapped out U for U to help the cause. fith a record of 9 to 1, we entered the K. P. A.tournament at Dixfield where re met Kingfield for the first game. This was the second consecutive season that we played them in a tournament. Farnun went against a strong team which was lead by Meldrum and Tufts who shifted pitching duties. Me came out on top 7 to Lj, with Farnum belting 3 to I:. The next game of the tournament took us to Augusta, where we play- ed the best game of the year with Vinalhaven. Bill lias on hit a long drive Lo left center to drive in the winning run in the 11th inning, which made the score 2 to 1 in our favor. Farnum dueled with Hopkins, as Bd Mason slammed 3 for 5« In the 2nd inning we received a telegram from a group at Manns Mill that said, Turn those Tigers loose , so we knew we had the support of the town. 19 5-2 £ AS £ U 1952 Baseball (continued) jjext we went to Levriston to face Standish in a Sluggfest. Firing Fred opposed big right handed Dearborn, until the last inning and Burt Hathaway helped hin out. The big guns v-ure Bill Mason 3 -or 5� parnun h for 6 and Alton Katliavay U for 6 including a home run. This won the Western Maine Torman nt for us and a nice big cup. In June we played Unity at Augusta for the State Championship. Unity had a well balanced ball club. Farnum again was chosen to pitch against lie Cormic, a lefty. Six errors proved to be our weakness today and Unity took us over 9 to 5 thus winning the State Championship. We want to thank the people of the Town for the great support they pave us in these games, and also for the money they donated to nelp pay our expenses. We also want to thank the Alumni for the V estern Maine Champion insignia they gave to us.

S., appreciate all the Alumni Association has done for us this year, which is a creat deal. At one of its meeting, they voted to help buy new baseball uniforms for the boys. To do this, they sponsored a basketball game with the High School, and in April'made arrange- ments for the North ’7a ter ford Kinstrel Show to be presented here, part of • the profits going to the school. At the end of the basketball season, they served a banquet to all the basketball players, cheer leaders, managers and faculty. This was a wonder- ful banquet, and enjoyed by all. After the meal, movies were shown. ' c. They also have givdn playground equipment for the grades. In the Spring of 1951, the Alumni donated large felt emblems for the Baseball boys,who were the Western Maine Champs; and presented the school with a beautiful new plaque for Prize Speaking—the names of the winners to be engraved on it each year. The Alumni award to the outstanding student of the graduating class was given to Eleanor Wing. The officers of the Alumni Association this year ares Francis Howe Stanley Farrar Rena Howe Verna Swan «� � � Following are the addresses of some of the Alumni in the Services, and letters from four of the boys.

A.F.O. 970 c o F.ILa San Francisco, Calif. 1$ April � $3 Korea Dear Alunni Editor, It is certainly a great privilege to be writing for the Eureka this year. Briefly 1 11 try to tell you what I've done and inhere I've been since joining the Air Force. On the 17th of June I took my oath in the Air Force and went to Sampson Air Base in Geneva, New York for my basic training. After eight weeks of basic I went to Francis E. VJarren, A.F.B. in Cheyenne, Wyoming to Oo to school for Supply. This school is supposed to be where you learn all about your job that each man will be doing v hile he's in the service, but really you don't learn it very good until you actually get to doing the work. Well, anyway, after finishing forty days of school at Wyoming, I went home for a short leave. On the 11th of December I had to report at Camp Stoneman, Calif, to await overseas shipment. On the 30th of December we left San Francisco on our v ay to the Fhr ast. It took seventeen days to cross the Pacific and it was the first real experience that I had since joining. .0 landed in Japan on the 17th of January. From there we went to Fuchu, Air Base in Japan to be processed for further assignment. Five days later our plane landed in Korea. It certainly seemed odd for the first couple of months trying to get used to the Korean peoples' way of living and also their language, but people get used to that just the same as everything else. About a month ago, my brother came to see me so I don't mind it too much as ve try and get together once in awhile. Outside of ry family it seems as if I miss my school days at good old 7.P.S. It's really bhc best days of anyones life and even though it hasn't been quite a year since graduating I feel as if I can say this because time has taken me many miles away and hasn't given me too much chance to think back to ry school days, but each night before going to bed I let my mind wander back there and it's then that I realise that that was really the foundation of ry life. I wish you all the best of luck with the Eureka this year and to have just as good results as there have been in the past years. Sincerely; Alton G. Hathaway SA 210Ui5l Fasron 6 Box 32 N.A.S. Jacksonville, Fla, March W, 1953 Dear Faculty, Students Friends, This letter will be a surprise to you no doubt, as I'm not much of a hand to write letters, but as I was laying in my rack reading the Eureka Jr. that you put out now, I thought I would drop you a line to tell you how much I enjoy it, I sure hope you all keep up the good work. I really enjoy hearing all the news about good old ’T.K.S. Host of you probably know I graduated from there last year and have been in the Navy for nearly a year now. By being in the Service you meet lots of fellows from larger schools than little old ' oodstock but I’m as proud of it as I would be of any other school twice its size. It nay be snail but I can see from the Eureka Jr. that its not lacking in school spirit, I was glad to hear that both baseball and softball teams are getting new uniforms. I know the Tigers will be right in there fighting with the sane old spirit as always. Good Luck to both teams. For the benefit of you fellows who will probably see service, as well as to inform ry Haine friends of my doings I will write a bit on the Navy. I was shipped here to the Jacksonville Air Station from Boot Camp, in Bainbridge Hd. At first I v as put in the 1st Lt. Division for about two to six months. They were very short of Parachute Riggers, so I was put in the Parachute Loft to learn that trade. I have been here for about four months now. You learn to pull check on all planes. Hay ITest and Survival equipment. I nay go to the Para Riggers school, but I'm not too keen on jumping from a plane and that is required, I've been very busy at sports here, since I came. I 'worked very hard to make the Jax Navy Baseball team and ’when I thought I had it all made, in cones a Pro catcherI Shipped here for duty, from some where he played for the St, Louis Cardinals Farm Team. I really was down in the dumps for a while but went out for Softball. I am now first string Catcher for the Fasron Six . vIe had our first League game to-day winning 6-2. Ue were behind for five innings 2-1. I have made some very nice friends down here in Jacksonville. ’.'.Tien I first got here, a buddy asked me to go to a Church that is out of town. It is the ,r”oodstock Church of Christ - The community is also called Tfoodstock. I had my Hother send my ’.Voodstock Jacket, with the Western liaine Champs on it so folks could see Haine had a 7,'oodstock, too. By the way, I was in Service wnon the Alumni sent it tt mo—-I would like to thank them here for it. (continued) Hy Indiana Buddy and I go to Church two or three tines a week including veek ends that wc� re off duty. You sco the Minister there, is only 23 years old and likes to have us stay ;dth hin. 7 e sleep in the up- stairs of the Church—rustle our own breakfast and are always invited out to dinner. All this sure uakes Navy life a lot easier. Good friends, good food, and a chance to get off the Naval Base. I’d like to hoar fron any of you back hone who care to write. Always a friend, Alton Hathaway Pfc. Roger Strout 129U273 3rd Ord Maint Bn 2nd C Jiab Service G P SC FIT Canp Lejeune, N,C. April 17, 1953 Dear Editor, I received your letter and I an greatly honored for being asked to write a letter for the Eureka , Hy Marine Corp life started very soon after I graduated fron Woodstock High. I went-to Parris Island, South Carolina, There I went through Boot training, which took twelve weeks. Then I went to Quantico, Virginia to go to school for Anti-Aircraft Technician. Now I an at Canp Lejeune getting what they call on the job training . I work on the guns that break down during Ilanuvers. I like the work quite well but it isn’t a job that will do ne any good when I becone a civilian again. Yours truly. Roger Strout We were very glad to receive the following letter from John Davis ’5l. Yellow Sea January 31, 53 To the Alumni, the Faculty and the Students, I was asked to - .rite a letter last year, but I hadn’t been anywhere or done anything to write about then, T hen I returned from my last leave upon graduating from service school, I began seeing what I joined the Navy for, •A four day train trip to San Francisco added a lot of states to ny collec- tion, plus Ontario, Iowa and eastern Nebraska are flat and nothing but corn- fields, 'Testem Nebraska is much like Wyoming. And Wyoming is just as beauti- ful as it appears in Mary O’Hara’s books. At Cheyenne, we had a fifteen minute stop, long enough to get off, take part in a couple of square dances on the street during Frontier Days and get back on the train. Ih parts of Utah, it was so wild, I expected to see bands of Indians pour down out of some of those hills. Then came the crossing of Salt Lake and on the other side, the desert. Nevada was like the movies, with flats of tumbleweeds and mountains all around. At every little stop we would unload and head for the Rustler’s Saloon or similar places. In all of then there were plenty of one-arm bandits But I failed to win. I slept through Reno and woke up in California. California, well, that is one state I don’t have much to say about. Sort of a let-down. August 7 I was glad to leave under the Golden Gate. After 8 months of active duty, I was finally going to sea. For two weeks we sweated and by the will of God lived aboard the U. S. N. S. General E. T. Collins. I hope I never ride a troop ship again, at least not as one of the troops. August 23 found us in Tokyo Bay, and late in the afternoon we were docked at Yokohama, Bright and early the next morning we unloaded and boarded Navy busses for the Yokosuka Base. That afternoon I was aboard the Badoeng Strait, sitting out infre Yokosuka harbor. From then on we were in and out of Yokosuka until October Uth. This time included one trip to Korea and a trip to Hokadate on the northern island of Hokkaido. r.re were the first carrier to ever come in there and with 8 destroyers and 2 subs became the first Naval force to come in there. Before us a couple of fleet tugs spent the night during rough weather there. October 5th vie left Yokosuka for a rendezvous off Hokkaido with Task Force 11. This was big stuff. Something big was being pulled off. October 8th we were at Otaru, Hokkaido along with another jeep carrier, the Sicily, and twenty other ships. Late that afternoon we steamed through the Sea of Japan for the second time� X hour was scheduled for October lUth, but bad weather held it over until the next day, and then vie pulled off the big amphibious invasion. Page 2 From the dozen transports, marines and soldiers loaded into boats and headed for the beach and just before the landing turned around and came back to the ships. The Commies opened up vdth everything and that was their mistake. The battlewagon Iowa and two cruisers opened up and by the next day the Commies were silenced forever. Then we headed for Sasebo, on the southern island of Ityushu. Here we traded squadrons with the Sicily. Sasebo became our home port and the Yellow Sea our territory. At the moment we are up here for the sixth time, and our eighth and final cruise to Korea. December 10th we were in the North China Sea to refuel two destroyers of our Formosa Patrol. Japan is mountainous and very beautiful. On the main island of Honshu, I have been to Yokohama, Yokosuka and Oppama. Hope to visit Tokyo during my next trip. On Hokkaido, it has been Hokadate and Otaru. On Ttyushu it has been Sasebo and Nagasaki. Nagasaki was one of the cities in which the A-bomb was dropped. The city is being rebuilt, and very little shows of where the bomb hit, with the exception of several'ruined structures which are being tom down ,,The rest of the bombed area which has not been rebuilt is covered with heavy weeds, Wien the city is rebuilt, it will'be'fairly Americanized. I took a great liking to Japan. The first thing on entering a home is to remove your shoes. There are no chairs, you sit on the floor, your legs under you resting on your heels. It is strenuous at first, but after a while you get used to it. Eating with chopsticks is no problem, once you know how, but it took ne a full day to raster it and left me rath a lame wrist. gat now their ways are natural to me and I will probably remove ny shoes and sit on the floor and ask for my chopsticks. The Japanese laugh at your actions when you are doing something not funny to you. But you laugh with them after awhile. One night I leaned against a paper wall, and picked ryself up off the floor in the next room. Humiliating to me, but a joke to them. I hope to return to Japan in April on a new ship, the CVE - 119, a sister of the 116, Japan is ichi-hau (number one). The seagoing member of � £l (Signed) John R. Davis H !:LFN U18-08-3U I!
