THE WAY T FEEL ABOUT EDWTlTION IN THE UNITED STATES Here in the United States we are given free education. vie don't appreciate it until it is too late. The average high school student has to be pushed or driven along. In most cases, there are few students who are excellent in all of their subjects. Most students have some outstanding characteristics or hidden talent which may take some time in coming out. In the United States we are given a chance to develop a foundation for a life’s knowledge in a few years if we want to. Many people say that the only reason the students go to high school is just to play snorts. That isn’t true because many of them don’t play sports at all. I feel that those who do take part in sports are learning while they are playing them. They are learning how to get along with other slayers. In many of the foreign countries students don’t have the privileges that we do in the United States. They don’t have as much chance to play sports. While in school they have harder lessons. They have to spend most of their time studying; therefore, I don’t think they are as happy as we are in the United States. Some of the foreign countries don’t have free education. If children aren’t given free education many won’t be able to go to school. Without education how ill they be able to understand things and teach their children things that are important for them to know. If they couldn’t afford to go to the school, chances are that they won’t be able to send their children to school either. Every country in the world should have free education. That is one big reason why the United States is one of the best countries in the world. Everyone is given equal chances in education. Every- one car get as much education as he wants if he will work for it. Thomas Henderson '54 EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES Extracurricular activities are helpfull to all children of school age. Sports such as baseball and basketball help a person develop skills and learn how to cooperate with other people. They also help a person learn fair play. Plays and public speaking help a person to have confidence when speaking before a group or audience.. Whatever extracurricular activities a person decides to participate in, he is bound to meet other people and make new friends. I think extracurricular activities are as important as good ranks. Howard Emery '56 Awarded First Prize in the American Legion Essay Contest. AMERICANISM'S CHALLENGE TO TODAY'S WORLD America has changed. In the seventeen hundreds we chal- lenged England to grant us our freedom. Freedom was our goal. We put our heart and soul in the struggle and won. .Today we have issued another challenge, this time for worldwide peace. It has a resemblance to America's first challenge. We have set our goal and have the will to win. Two centuries have passed since our forefathers fought so gallantly for this country, and the freedom they won is still existing today. What will be found two centuries from today? We have our hopes that Americanism will be universal. Americanism is composed of all our American ideals. We know Americanism is essential throughout the world if all mankind is to be free and secure. It has oroven its worth in America. Our biggpst probl.em is to successfully challenge the world to adopt Americanism. We challenge all countries of the world to adopt Americanism so that they might be one harmonious being. But who accepts this challenge? Who dares to? Russia doesn't and neither does China nor any of the communistic satellites. A change from Communism to at Americanism would be a sign of defeat for them. Russia shudders at the thought. When- ever Americanism beckons to her people, Russia slyly covers up with the usual lies and vague promises. Is it any wonder we never reach first base when the ball is stolen on every pitch? Here is where the conflict begins. A machine doesn't work well with a defective part. Neither can Americanism easily succeed in today's world when we have such an obstacle as Communism to combat. We must not give up the ship, however. Only by challenging the world to adopt Americanism, can we ever hone to win a hot or cold war. It's a great task, but it isn't typical of Americans to shirk from it. It's a task that needs to be accomplished. We must pull together to make Americanism's challenge to today's world a universal success. Second prize in the American Legion Essay Contest Americanism's Challenge to the World To understand what kind of challenge our way of life is to the world today, we have to hold an understanding of the type of life we lead. In simple words, the American's way of life is based on our individual freedoms. These are of speech, religion, assembly, and press. It gives everyone an equal chance to carry on his life to the best of his ability. These chances aren’t enjoyed in part of our world. These are the ’’basic truths behind our challenge. In what countries in this great world can you find such chances to carry on your life, as an individual? Surely, not in countries under the socialistic or communistic regimes. In these countries people are to some degree under the influence or control of their governments. When this happens, the people’s choice of life is slowly diminished. Their chances, as an individual, are cut off. What other country would take upon itself the many problems of international improvement, and strive for its goal of international peace and security, until its every effort seems in vain, but still continues tu work toward that goal? Many countries scoff at this ide . Many are so wrapped up in their own internal problems and troubles that they forget our needs as a whole nation. It is necessary that we set an example to these other nations. Many countries look at us as a world power , the one with money and strength. This seems to them a hidden challenge behind our words of warmth and friendliness. We know differently, of course, but we haven't made it entirely clear to them. We have to Drove this so that better understanding between us shall exist, and our true challenge will not be lost in a maze of propaganda and cruel lies. Our true challenge stands in the way we live. No other nation is in such good condition socially, economically, or politically. No other nation has its power fully decided by the people. No other nation could be fully independent without aid from other lands, as we. Therefore it is plain to see that our challenge stands out, like a beacon of the lighthouse during a storm. It guides us through and continues to operate for the next group who is in distress. Our challenge will beam its light over the nations as a guide to all who sees it, to show them our way of life and just how successful it has been. This is our challenge to the world. -----Americanism's true challenge. Alicia Emery '55 INDUSTRIAL ARTS Next year this high school will have an entirely new and different course starting. This new course is industrial arts. Although it is more for boys, girls can also take it if they want to. This course has a great importance. For many years stu- dents have graduated from here nd very few have gone on to college. Well, now for the benefit of those who don't go on to school this course will give them occupational training in one of the subjects the course offers. Maybe to others it will only encourage them to go further on to college and learn more about the course they specialized in. No matter which way you put it, it's certainly going to help everyone who takes it one way or another. The course will consist of four subjects which are: 1. General woodmaking which includes c rpentry, cabinet miking, patternmaking etc., 2. General Metals which includes bench, cold bent, forged, welded and machined metal work, 3. General electricity which includes the theory and manipulation activi- ties pert ining to electric current, its nature, generation, transmission and control, small motors and home appliances, 4. Transportation, or internal combustion engines,boat and other models, bicycle maintenance and repair, and the theory con- struction, repair and maintenance of various types of internal combustion engines. Of course more subjects may bo added at any time but these four are state reauired. This Industrial Arts course is going to be set up in the basement of the school house. To some people, maybe they think that this is going to cost a lot of money. It is, but stop and think of the tuition we v;on't have to pay. In a few years, with the’ students we hope to have from other schools, the course will be paying for itself. Maybe before we know it they'll be getting Homo Economics for the girls, and when they do this school will really be something to be proud of.

CLASS FISTOPY In the fall of 1950 fifteen freshmen started at Woodstock High. They were: Muriel Andrews, Robert Cary, Fred Coffin, Patricia Coffin, Daniel Cole, Mary S. Farnum, Janice Goss, Thomas Hende-non, Dona llaloy, Donald Mclnnis, Sally Mclnnis, joan Mullen, Daisy Sprague, Joan ’’hitman, and Esther Cary. They all soon- learned that when they are in high school that they must buckle down an'1 work hard. On September 28, the seniors held Freshman Recent.ion in which they all had a good time and no hard feelings were held against the upper classmen. After that they settled down to school work. After a long summer's vacation we returned to school, all except Dona Maloy, Joan Mullen, and Donald Mclnnis. About two weeks later Edmund Mason was trans- ferred from Gould Academy which left a total of thirteen in the class. In our sophomore year we had to start making some money for our class. One of the ways that we did it was to have a paper drive which was a great success. That year the students had to work a little bit harder to get by. In the fall of 1952 the class was whittled down just a little smaller be- cause we lost Sally Mclnnis and Muriel Andrews. Muriel Andrews became the wife of Raymond Mullins and is now living at South Paris. At the end of our first nine weeks we lost Robert Cary and that left us a total of ten in the class. After half of the year was over we lost Daisy Sprague. Also our Junior year we held our prize speaking in which thirteen students spoke. Out of the thirteen , six winners were chosen. There were three of us boys who helned put on the class play for the seniors last year. To make more money we sold refreshments at the Carnival Ball and also at the Fireman's Ball. In September of 1953 the students returned to school with the thought of their last year of high school, Many things were happening during our senior wear. On Sentember 21, we wont to Jackson-White Studio at Portland and had our class nictures taken. On December 10, we presented our class play, GOME WITH THF GIRLS , It was a great success. After a two v;eeks vacation for Christmas we returned to school all excent Janice Goss who became the wife of Albert Penley Jr. and is now living at South Woodstock. We had a carnival this winter and the Senior girls ran for queen candidates, far-' Stuart Farnum was Queen and Thomas Henderson was Ming. On February 19, we had a food sale at racKillop's store so as to raise money for our class trip. On April 7i we went to Farm and Rome Week at Orono. We also walked around the campus and saw many different things. We went to many different programs which they held during the day. We thought it to be of great importance. On our way home we stopped along the road by Dow Air Force Base and watched the planes come in and take off. On April 10, the school put on a minstrel show in which a number of srniors took part. On Honda- April 19, the seniors left for Hew York with their chaperons Mr, and Mrs. Toothaker. On Anril 23, we went down to the Selectmen's Office and found how the town business was run. We wont to a farm and a store and took valuation of each and. went back to the office anc figured up the tax. We learned a lot besides hav- ing a lot of fun. On May 5, the Air Force and Army recruiting officer came and talked to us on the different things that we could take up in the services. During our four years at high school the oner that have participated in snorts were: Ed Mason, liar'- Stuart Farnum, Fred Coffin, Esther Cary, Tom Hender- son, and Joan Whitman. They all have dono a lot to help the teams and also the school. Most of the seniors have taken part in the nrinting of the Eureka and of the Eureka. Jr. A few of them were Editors of the year book. Ed Mason CIASS TRIP After planning for rafty months for our -ashington D. C. trip we finally decided on New York City, because of lack of funds to, go to 'Jashington, Tfe left Bryant Pond early Monday morning, April 19th« The girls traveled Td.th Mr, Mrs, Roe Too tinker, our chaperons, and the boys went with our other driver, Mr, John Hirst V.'hcn we first started out we all thought it was going to be a dreary and drizzly day. But a couple of hours later when we reached Portland the sun was shining and it was growing very warm. Around 11:30 wo arrived in Marlboro,- Mass.- As everyone agreed that it was time we ate, we picked a fine restaurant on Main St, and had our dinner. Feeling much better, we left to continue our trip. Around 1:00 it grew much hotter and as both cars were convertibles we drove for the next hundred miles with the tops down. It was so warm that we all got wind burns. It took us approximately one hour after reaching the city to make our way flnxugh • traffic to our hotel, Te arrived at Hotel Chesterfield on 1:9th Street at 6:00 P. K. After registering and finding our rooms, we unpacked and then went'to find a place to eat supper, Vie finally settled on a Chinese Restau- rant, Being full once again, we walked down to Times Square and Broadway. The next morning, Tuesday, we all went on a tour through Rockefeller Center, This was a very interesting trip, Vie went up 70 stories to the top of tiie R.C.A.- Building in the fastest elevator in the world, This, elevator travels at the speed of lh00 foot a minute. Vic sav; many painting and s culpa- turos made by many famous men,- On the 70th floor, the top, we looked over the city through telescopes and then had lunch there on the top floor. At 2:30 we took a Greyline 3us tour around the city. This'trip took in Lower Heir York, Chinatown where we stopped and walked around, the Bowery, then a boat took us for a one-hour visit to the Statue of Liberty, Vic went half way to the top of the Statue but had to hurry back to catch our boat. The next day, Wednesday, wo took our first ride on the Subway to the Bronx Zoo, where wo saw many foreign and interesting birds, animals and amphibians. In the afternoon the boys took in a ballgame at the Yankee Stadium where the Yanks beat the Red Socks 6-1. V.’hilo the boys were at the game the girls went shopping At night Dan Cole and Mr, Toothakcr went to the circus at Madison Square Garden, Jhurs, morning we slept late. In the afternoon we went on a U-hour boat ride around the Island This was a wonderful trip; we saw many interesting sights, some being: the U. N. Building, Empire State, V.'oolworth, famous hospitals, stadiums,went under the 21 famous bridges, also many interesting ships. That night some of us went to Radio City Music Hall, where we saw the famous‘Rockettcs and the beautiful Easter pageant, which consisted of five parts, V e also saw in Cinemascope, the movie Rose Marie. Tfe all agreed that this was the most beautiful place we had over seen. Friday morning we all rose at 7:00 and were ready to leave for home at 8:30, Vle stopped at Howard Johnson's in Mass, to have our dinner. Vie arrived home at 7:30, Vie all agreesthat we had a most delightful time and a wonderful experience. T.ro wish to thank Mr. Mi’s, Toothakcr for going with us and shovring us such a good time Vfe also wish to thank itr Hirst for driving us there, too« EDUCATION I think that education is taken for granted not only by the students, but also by the parents of today, Many parents send their children off to school, but never think -.hat they v:ould do if they did not have a school to send them to. It is true that some pupils ;o to school just for sports; perhaps they feel that that is the only thin they are Good for. Possibly some teacher gave them the impression sometime during their school years that they v.-ere slorr to catch on, so those pupils think they arc stupid. Still, this is no excuse for them to loaf along, supported only by some classmate's help, until they have graduated. I think that each school should have a permanent program where each student is put in a division of the class for v hich he is best suited. It is true that there are many sports in the school, but these are for those to play who can afford the time from their studies. No matter what his ability may be, a student should remember that the citizens of his town are paying for his school to help him get an education. A student should always try to d •� his best. Sandra M. Martin ' FAKE IT YOUR DUTY Have you ever noticed There the public dump is? No-doubt you have contributed to it. How handy it seems to dispense paper, waste and bot- tles along the highway. The queer part is, these same people that line our highways with filth wouldn't think of opening a window at home and tossing papers and bottles out on their lawn. The only reason for not cluttering their cim property is because they realize That a task it is to clean the mess up. The public realizes how beautiful a clutter-free lain is, but does not realize that a beautiful roadway would add to Maine's loveliness. Eight out of ten people kick about their taxes, but. strangely enough these same people make needless expense for federal, state, and torn em- ployees by disposing of their rubbish on the road v ay. It is a proven fact that it costs over a hundred dollars to clear debris from Bethel line to TTest Paris line, accumulating to a total of 29 cubic yards. This little section of road is but a minute portion of the highways in Maine. Think of the terrific expense when the clearing of trash on all highways is involved, 77hy doesn't each one of us keep the trash in our cars until we'reach home and dispose of it in our private dump. If wc all work together, we can accomplish this great task which will help to make Maine an even better place in which to live.

That's why we come to This brain factory five days a week. Eva Harlow 57 AUTOBIOGRAPHY 01 TAT I am a gray and white tomcat of unknown ancestry. I was six years old last Povember. I was bom at Everett Howe's nlace in Woodstock. V'hen I was a month or six weeks old, hr. lirs. Lamont Brooks and family got me to be their pet, and I went to live on a farm in Greenwood. I guess they were not interested in who my mother and father were, because when I got old enough to understand they didn't tell me. They didn't even tell me how many brothers and sisters I had. While I was still a little Kitty, I started to catch mice. I surprised my master and his wife one night when I was going to the barn to sleep. They saw four mice in the grain box, and threw me in. I had quite a time, but between my mistress and myself something happened to those mice. After I got through the first flurry of excitement, I saw that I had killed one, I had one in my mouth, and there was one under each paw. And man thinks fishing is sportJI Well, I pulled all kinds of unexpected things. When they began play- ing rough with me I used my teeth, and I used them on bare feet, too. I got batted for that.'. The neighboring children used to swing me around by the tail. It hurt! I taught them not to, and they have been afraid of me ever since. Sometimes the oldest boy used to spank me. and the little girl would get disgusted at him for doing it. You see, she claimed I was her kitty. Life has not been all rosy, either. Once I lost half of my foot in a trap, and I have got hurt several times. Once I lay in a big snowstorm. I have been out more than two or three days several times. People are al- ways glad to see me come back. This summer an old man stayed with us. They called him Uncle Henry. He shot some red squirrels for me, and I liked then, but the folks didn't think I caught mice very well. Sometimes when strangers are here, ny mistress tells how I stick out my tongue, and snore, and wig ;le my tail when I'm asleep. That makes me blushl I wonder how they would like to have me tell on themj Besides I don't believe I do snorei Well, it's getting late and I'm tired, so I'll have to go to bed. Loris E, Brooks '57 Fever Tat A lad. Apple One day while walking through an ap le orchard, I cane to a tree loaded with ripe apples. Just looking at them made me hungry. So I picked the largest one I could find, and then sat down under the tree to eat it. It was a very warn day and soon I becane drowsy. Suddenly I began to hear strange noises and, becoming frightened, I qv' ckly got up and started to run. But instead of running I was rolling over and over. I couldn't stop rolling;suddenly something hit me and I stopped. I glanced up to see what did it, and all I could see was a big worm. He had long arms and legs, and he looked angrily at me. Then he opened his ugly mouth and began to .tell me I was a thief for stealing his home, and th- .t he was going to weave a web a- round me so strong and tidit that I would mold away. Frantically I began to plead for my life, promising never to steal an apple again if he would let me go. The more I begged and pleaded with him the angrier he got. Soon I felt ny head being gnawed off by the worm, and I began to beg all the harder for my life. A blow on the top of the bead caused me to open my eyes. To my surprise I found that I had fallen asleep and had been dream- ing. An apple falling from the branches had landed on ny head and had awakened me. Which proves that you should never go to sleep under a tree----- especially an apple tree. Patty Coffin II .A IFATION A common way of escape is through the paths of one's imagination. After a long, hard tiresome day we find ourselves trying to rest, but can't because of an intense headache; then is the time, if you shut your heart and mind out to the world, you can find a new life. Always the hero in these fantasies is yourself. The world is at your command. Servants, jewels, and luxuries, of all kinds are found. At any time you can find yourself in a new country doing things, that in actual life you would frown upon as beyond your reach. Ordinarily, you might even call them foolish , but not here. Pretense is full use of one's imagination. How many times I've pretended to be some great personage! The first woman president, star of the Globetrotters, lady Babe Puth, and famous opera singer are only a few. This of course depends very much on the mood you were in and the thoughts you were thinking beforehand. Oft times I've sat and watched someone seeking escape from the cares of this world. It is indeed rewarding. Some signs are the smiles that flicker across the faces, the eyes widen, and the mouth slightly or en, as if in surprise. TJoon coming back tr earth, you'll be surprised liow free, froah, nd ready fco «tart a n w iay, you will be. A! tola Triery 55 THE FLYING BUTCHER OF JAPAlT I was in the thirty-first division of the paratroopers. T'e were to make a jump over Iwo Jima. There were two hundred men in the plane which was approaching enemy territory. Then it came tine to jump. Just as the signal was given, five Zeros came from the clouds. The crotector planes of the big transport went into action and soon only one plane was left. However the pilot did not choose to run away. Instead he started heading for the boys in the parachutes. Evidently he didn't like my face, for he started after me first. The first time he barely nicked my boots with the procellor blade. The U. S. planes couldn't shoot him down for fear of hitting our non. The Zero took a sharp turn and v as more determined than ever to get me. The plane came closer and closer. When he was what seemed inches from me I culled myself up into my chute by the straps, I didn't cull quite high enough and lost one of my feet. I was dizzy from the loss of blood from my severed foot and exhausted from pulling the straps .U the straps I half expected to have the Butcher come back and finish me off. He never did come back. In the pilot's madness for a kill h forgot to watch the U. S. clanes and made too wide a circle givipg the U, S. clanes a chance to shoot him down. By this time I v as near the ground. I landed and ‘that last I can remenber, I woke in a hoscital in Tokyo where 1 3L m-?,- eoyering from the adventure with the Flying Butcher of Jppfen.

The night was waiting, anticipating the sharp crack, the inevitable. Tension was noauitingi The wind started up—slowly. It whistled slightly, just enough to send cold chills up a nan's spinei The noon slithered behind a dark cloud, “ear was surrounding--no one knew what. A door opened. The creaks it made smacked the hushed stillness like a cold smash across someone's face. A man stepped out, silently shutting the door behind him . He strode down the deserted street, his hat pulled low over his eyes. He feared nothing, .he ’.rind gathered momentum. The crack of his heels as they hit the pavement spelt out one word—Confidence. He turned the corner. The wind howled. The moon disappeared. He stopped. The silence was deafening, frightening. Prom around the comer cane a sound. And what a soundj ] The shocking, petrifying laugh of a mad nan. It started- -low,rising from depths unknown to a crest so ear-splitting that my mind was at its rz breaking point. Then—silence. rtlTot again! I screamed. Pot again! Pot again] Pot againl 'uv-. The walls echoed, mocking me—I begged everyone—anyone to make but all that could be heard was my hollow, nerve-wracked voice.-'plea ing- pleading. But no help. ' } Then it came--------—simple, but I was jubilanti Then, a sharp pain running my hand over my coat, I felt blood squishing through I sank to the ground. L 7 A; ; reasurring. The crackyof a pdstol| hit my heart. I gasped]’’yThenK', , The moon came out from behind the dark cloud! The wind died downij A nan in a dark overcoat, with his hat pulled low over his eyes, opcnedj a door and went in. The door closed] j j a ! ; Disappointment Pinter usually starts out green Po snow is anywhere to be seen. Pe ponder and wonder when it’s going to come, Eecause what does come goes with the sun. Pe wait and worry, morning and night Until one morning the ground is all white, Pe hurry to get out, and soon we are dressed. But by the tine we are out, the snow we have missed Finally the snow comos to stay a while, And most of us greet it with a smile. Then when it keeps coming, we fret and whine, Is it going to snow all the time? Andrea Poland '55 The TV Commercial The night is foggy and the moon is pale. A lone figure walks quickly up a darkened alley and waits in the shadows. He secs a girl approach the comer drugstore and enter. He knows she won t be long for he has watched her repeat the same procedure every Sunday night for quite some time. Everything has been carefully planned; it had to be. Presently the door of the drugstore is opened and the girl continues up the street unaware. Nearer and nearer she comes to where the ran is waiting. The footsteps are very close now and the figure grows tense. Then suddenly there is a blare of music, singing, and talking, the commercial is on. For me these commercials spoil the whole program. But if it weren't for the commercials, the sponsors couldn't sell their products; if they couldn't sell their products, there wouldn't be any programs for us to listen to at all. Radio commercials are just another way of advertising, and ad- vertising is very important in selling products. They arc the means by which many of our fellow Americans make a living. So although we dislike them, they are necessary. Robert Benson '56 The Battle On the battleground, so cold and gray. Deep in the foxholes our men lay, ’.Vaiting for the enemy to spring In attempt to conquer everything. It grew late, the night so dark. In the distance was a spark ’.Thich brighter and brighter seemed to grow Until the earth was all aglow. The deadening clash upon the cars .’ould linger on for many years In the hearts of all who fought that night. So that our future would be bright. The men 7 0 died, fought not in vain, But saved our land from bitter shame. So on through time goes history And leaves these to our memory.

The first few days the Seniors had us wearing everything but horses' tails, and they almost had us doing just that. In the days before the twenty-fourth, the girls began coming to school looking a mess , this ef course was orders from the Seniorsl In case none of you folks caught a glimpse of them, here is how they looked those days before the reception took place. The girls came to school one morning wearing men's old hats and with orders not to comb their hair or put on any make-up, and also wear their clothing on back- side to, and pity the poor girls who v ore blue jeans. The boys got through the whole thing pretty easy. Some of the tasks were to bring dolls to play with, to wear skirts, and they were made to get up front of the whole assembly and sing and dance. Not only did we have to v ear what the Seniors wanted us to, but v e had to bow to them v hen they passed by. Each afternoon when school began v e were called up front to do ridiculous tasks, that only Seniors could think up. Then came the night of Freshman Reception, and by the looks of the peoole, all of you were there to make life miserable for us Freshmen. During the evening Pearl received some clothing from the Seniors. She was really embarassed going around in her long-johns. The Siamese twins Rev. and Orene v ere ma.de to waltz with Arthur and Ormie. Have you ever tried to dance with two hundred pounds dragging along behind you? And our baby sitter Wallace, was made to tend Denise's twins, Leona and Doris. T-’e really got some excitement then. The girls chased poor Wallace all over the hall trying to see who would kiss him first. Our bathing beauties played a lively game of leap frog during the evening. They really took the cake as they daintily housed over each other out there on the floor. You've heard, I'm sure, how good the gynsies can sing and dance—well they had nothing on Ormie and Charlotte that night. Ormie gave us a beautiful love song and also played his own music on his guitar, and later Charlotte did a gypsy dance with a chair as her graceful partner. They made a beautiful looking counle together. Aftor being dragged through some awful embarassing feats, the evening finally ended much to our delight, and wo stood in line to shake hands with people of the town of Woodotock.

Bay 8, 193U Dear Leona, It's a pleasure to tell you about what I«m doing. For nearly two years now, I've been living here on the North Shore— and loving itl Marblehead is twenty miles north of Boston, on the coast. It's an old city, with ancient houses and winding streets. It's a beauti- ful place, spread over a huge area, wi.th the many old trees reminding me so often of Main street, Bryant Pondl ’.Then I first came down, I went to work in a big department store in Lynn with the intention of becoming a buyer. Later, I decided to try a small store here in town, with the same goal in mind. To be at all successful and happy in a job, no matter'what it is, one has to like the job. In selling, one has not only to like, and have an interest in one's job, but in people. There's an old saying, It takes all kinds to make a world, and there are days when salespeople certainly believe itj But, I suppose we wouldn't appreciate the nice people, except for the other. And, after all, most everyone is nice---besides, there's always some humorous incident to make up for unpleasant moments. I think, as any sales person would probably agree, sales work is excel- lent experience for all of us •'girls especially-whether it's intended as a career or not. How better can wc learn -.hat to look for in, or expect from, a product? Future homemakers might well find a summer job in a store helpful later- in pricing, and in hints on how to keep her and the salesperson happy by learning to be prompt, precise and, by all means polite. This brings me to my pet peeve—the person who comes in just at closing time, and wants to browse around. Just can't understand • hy the clerk isn't pleased. v.re don't mind occasionally'-, in an emergency, but that's seldom the reason—and, though we don't get paid for over time, we get just as tircdl As I stated in the beginning, to do shop work, one has to like doing things with and for people. I dol I love meeting people.’ I don't think I could possibly enjoy working with paper at a desk ail day, half as much. Of course, a store , -with a little of overyt ing, which draws every type of person, is much different from a shop , which specializes, and, therefore, draws the well-educated and the best clientcllc, I'm glad I started in a store; the experience vas excellent, and it was fun, but I like the shop where I'm now located much better. Stowaway Sweets has a reputation, built over 28 years, for the best candy in practically all of the U.S. With just this one shop, we are kept hopping from 9 to 5:30 each da; . Hot only do people drive from Boston weekly and from. Hew Hampshire periodically! with visitors from all over the country and overseas dropping in, we also have a huge ma.il order business. It's fiascinating, meeting people from so many places, reading such strange addresses, packing pretty party boxes, and so on. Kever think it's a push-over—it's not easy to stand on one's feet for eight hours, five days a week and work Saturdays, when most people are playing, but if you like lovely things, and enjoy meeting people, I'm sure you'll love the work I dol I'd hate to give it up! Good luck to you, Leona, and to all of the Eureka staff, also the Seniors and students with the future in sight. Sincerely, Phyllis Hathaway 20 York Street ilew Haven, Conn. May 6, 195 Dear alumni Editor, Thank you for your letter asking me to write a letter for the Eureka. I graduated from Woodstock High in '51 and that fall entered the Auburn Maine School of Commerce where I attended for a year. That next fall I came to Hew Haven and started work as a Blue print operator in the Engineering Dept, of the Sound Scriber Corporation, makers of Dictating Equipment. In four or five months, I was given a clerical job in the same department----this included filing, typing, and running a ditto machino. Then, in June of 53� I was offered the job of Secretary to the Manufacturing Engineer, which I accepted. He also is in charge of Maintenance. With these two jobs combined my work has a lot of variation with never a dull moment. AI30, there are four draftsmen in cur Dept. The variation makes the job interesting and I enjoy it very much. I believe any student will make a wise choice in choosing office work as their vocation. It offers a lot of oppcrtunities for advancement. It isn't necessary to start at rhe top tut to work up to the top io more important as you gain helpful knowledge along the way that will help to make for a success at the top. Sincerely yours, Harriett Hathaway College of Jiedical Evangelists Box 2ljl, Loma Linda,Calif. April 26, l?$h Dear Editor and Alumni, Though I am over 3000 miles from home, I have not forgotten W.H.S. Perhaps before hearing about what I am doing now, you would like to have me catch up on the past. As you probably know, I graduated from Atlantic Union College in the spring of 52. That summer, I took a class in chemistry for preparation for my work out here. On August 16, 1952, I was married to Elizabeth L'eyer in Worcester, Lass., whom I met in college. We left immediately for sunny California, We had a good trip, via Niagara Falls, Canada, Detroit, and then tiirough Iowa, Nebraska and Wyoming. We traveled through the Lojavi Desert at night and it still was like an oven. We went through Las Vegas at it in the morning. We started school and work immediately. I worked the first year in a print shop besides going to school. Ly wife did secretatial work the first year, but is teaching junior high this year. She teaches gym, English, and journalism. She prepared for business and secretarial teaching, but one never teach.es just what one plans to do, i'ost people confuse dietetics with cooking. Dietetics is the study of foods and what one should eat and why. A dietition has to lenow how to cook and to instruct others, but a dietition is not necessarily a professional cool:. A dietition specializes on methods of cookery not just the cooking. To be a professional cook, one has to cook 5-6 days a -week which a dietition doos not do. There are two major fields in dietetics. The first is the feeding and planning of patient's meals in a hospital. This is of ujor importance for what is more important to patient improvement And morale than good food? The other major field is in administration, which I am most interested in. In this field such things as personnel training, overseeing food production, purchasing of food and equipment, budgeting, governing all costs, and menu planning take up the dietition's time. Also, the field of kitchen layout is important. In this field a knov.'ledge of architecture, and engineering are necessary besides knowledge of food production. This field is wide open and the pay is exceptional. There are other fields such as public health, food company demonstrators, equipment demonstrators, teaching, schoollunch supervisors and many others. In entering a field such as dietetics there are so many phases that one can always find one that suits his desires and tastes. Also, commercial restaurants need food supervisors who are cost conscious. I expect to be in charge of a commercial rectuarant for throe months next year. I was amazed to learn that in a period of 5 years flOJ? of all restaurants close or sell out There is a definite need in t' Is field for trained personnel. The field of dietetics is wide open to women and gradually men are entering the field. The census of opinion is that men do not make good «Sinistrators or patient- supervisors in the food field. Nothing could be further from the truth, however. The head of the medical team are doctors. The leading administrators are r.en. Gradually non are enter- ing the field and arc raking the field more inviting to other young men. Actually, in the administrative lin.., the nnn arc taking ovor the work. Veiy often women are not too intern tod in business and the like. Pre- viously much of this vroric lias been clone by business men with no food training. Nov: more male dietitians are taking over this work who have a knowledge of food.production and bus in w: 3 both. Thus, there is a great demand for cost conscious male dlctitisns. (’Tomen generally spe- cialize in therapeutics, or hosuibal work.) The requirements for dietetics art 1. four years of college with a degree in foods and nutrition. 2. a one year internship where one works under supervision before taking a definite job. In the college work one takes such courses as advanced nutrition, physiological chemistry, instit- utional management, food cost control, accounting, experimental cookery, quantity cookery and many others. Next year I have been accepted by the University of Washington for an administrative internship. This vrill include supervised work in their cafeterias, dining rooms, cafe, restaur- ant and the like. We are looking forward to going to Washington (Seattle) to begin our new work. I hope this vrill give those interested in this field a better in- sight into dietetics.Youn people who are not afraid to work, who are interested in quality food, who enjoy working with people, and who are cost conscious should enter this field. The pay range is from poor to excellent. The chief dietitian and the consultant receive excellent pay. I wish I could come to the Alumni Banquet, but it will be impossible this year. I have not been home for two years, and it vrill be another year before wc can wend our way toward New England. Very sincerely yours, Shirley Benson Officers of the Alumni Association President Francis Howe Secretary Pena Howe Vice-Pres. Stanley Farrar Treasurer Verna Swan This year the Alumni Association held a reception for all Woodstock teachers in the fall; and at the close of the basketball season, put on a banquet for all the basketball players, managers and coaches.

I can just visualize you kids walking into the tyoing room a million times and suddenly in the final five minutes before oroduction starts, remembering you haven't autographed the sheet of paoer which has been lyinr there for a month. I recall how I always enjoyed working on the Eureka. It wae a thrill to see the pages get together in the right order and then the resulting end, a nice year book. 0 yes I Now a subject dear to my heart. Your minstrel show which was produced for the public in April was utterly wonderful. I got the greatest kick out of it. How in the world did you manage to handle the colored man's lingo so well9 Some of youse darkies1’ could have fooled your own families. 1 'My land sakes alive, a chocolate baby!! One of the greatest assets in life is the ability to make some one laugh. A good hearty chuckle does more to lighten and brighten one's spirit and chase the blues away than finding oil in one's backyard. You have to contribute in the form of taxes to keep your liquid gold, but a blithe spirit with a sense of humor is your own and sharing it with someone else is a lot of fun. Life is a marvelous asseh and so many human beings go from day to day only actually existing and not enjoying life to its fullest extent. How does one know if they are living life to its fullest opportunities? Well, I believe if you look forward to each successive day with anticipation and eagerness, then you must be hapny. And happiness is the only path to a full life. If one was to admit that the state of mind is definitely present in both actions and manner then you yourself could predict whether you awake in the morning glowing with the thought that the world is a beautiful, lovely place or with the darkness of depression guiding your personalities.So kids, in short what I have been try- ing to stress and not very successfully, no matter if you feel blue or unhappy, make your friends and fellow-men laugh, a kind greeting will start a warm glow and a bit of prodding will encourage it into a flaming warmth. So in closing, best of luck to each and every one of you and as the dog said when he put his tail in his mouth This is the end. The scattered philosophy of and old alumnae of 1951. Crene Whitman La Rochelle May 19, 195 Dear Mrs. Crockett; Ve received your letter yesterday the 13th. Where it took a month to get here, this letter may not hit the Eure!:a, but we hope so. We started working on it as soon as ”e got the letter, we dug up some things that might be of interest to the people back home. La Rochelle, originally known as, Rupella, or Little Rock , came into being as a villigc during the 9th century, when people from near by swamps moved to this one small area of dry land and built their huts. The ne.vt few centuries found this community growing in importance until the beginning of the 12th century, it became the capital of the province of Annis. At that time a large castle stood where the center of La Rochelle is today. From the lbth to the lCth century La Rochelle was one of the great soartal cities of France and its sailors were the first to profit from this discovery of the Few Vorld. It was from this port that the founder of Montreal Canada embarked with a great number of the first colonists. Daring the 16th century La Rochelle became one of the first bul- warks of the Reformation Movement. In 1573 the Ro'-al Family futilly besieged the town for six months or more, with the colorists eventially obtaining religious freedom. During the reign of Louis XIII the people revolted and joined forces with England in 1627. Following heroic resistance for 15 months under the directions the town was forced to surrender on 28th of October 1628. The first City Fall was built ir the 12th century. !'othing remains of that building today, it burned in lh6l. Between 1597 and 1607 another building was built. The interior of this building contains uicturesoue frames from civic activities and at the top of the hall stands the coat of Arms. Then in a larger room there is a table donated by Mayor Guition on which was sworn the oath that the City would never surrender to Rio Lieu, The hall also contains Richlieu's am chair and desk which he used in signing the peace agree- ment. The City of La Rochelle is the chief fishing port on the Atlantic coast and the fleet is comprised of 600 fishing boats and 70 trawlers. Merchant ships of medium tonnage berth here also, but the majority of shipping is handled in the reat modern port of La Pollice. The two combined ports rani: 10th in France. In France you can travel most any place by boat, (Continued on nemt page) (Continued) In 1203 a shin ovner named Aufredy built the hospital which bears his name. He had the hospital Ijuilt in appreciation of the safe return of his Merchant fleet which was believed lost. The unexpected return of the fleet after a profitable voyage increased the wealth of M. Aufredy and her converted the profits from his cargo into a hospital for the town. 1'ow today the U. S. Army is using this hospital for thier own use. Here in France it is very hard to find a house made from wood. They are all constructed with stone and cement. At night you think the houses are deserted, no lights can be seen burning, the reason is every windows has a blind which is closed when the lights are turned on,ex- cept for the home that the G.I. and his family live in. The French people are the most like Americans then any other, they seem to think more as we do and work as we do. Everyone in France owns a bike or motor bike. Old people 75 and 80 ride every day. Back home people of this age are using a cane. The French start their work early in the morning and have a two hour lunch time, quitting time is dusk around 7 or 8. They get paid 100 Francs per hour, 33 cents in our money. They get paid once a month, which is about 590 to $100. A married man doing the same .job as a single man gets paid more because he has a family. The houses in France are well constructed and are many years old. Some are 100 and 200 years old. Every room has a fire place. Each house and lot either have a high wall or fence all around the house and at night your gate has to be locked, this is a French law. A bike has as much right on the road as a car, and you had better give it the right of wa’' just like a car. I guess this is about all I can tell you about France, except it isn’t half ac nice ae th« good old U. S. A.
