EUREKA 1955 WOODSTOCK HIGH SCHOOL Bryant Pond, Maine MR. FLOYD KENISTON We, the students of Woodstock High School, dedicate this issue of the Eureka to Mr. Floyd Keniston our Industrial Arts teacher Caelito riaL WHY A PRINTED EUREKA? Since 1930, the students of Woodstock High School have published a mimeo- graphed Eureka. Every year we have tried to put out a bigger and better book than ever, and we think we have made many improvements. However, we now ieel that the time lias come to get away from the ‘‘do-it-yourself look, and follow the lead of nearly all other schools who have changed to printed books. And here are some of our reasons: The cost of supplies for a mimeographed book has increased each year, until now it has cost us well over a dollar a copy for materials and picture pages. With the addition of more pictures, the cost would be even more. The school committee has changed the curriculum, so that now only two years of typewriting are offered instead of three. This year we have two advanced typists, and seven first-year. Some of these students may be taking the course for only one year. This puts the work of cutting stencils and operating the mimeo- graph on a very few. We do not feel that the many hours which must be spent on such mechanical routine work is justified in such a short course. All material, of course, must still be planned and written by the students as usual, then sent to the printer. The tedious “running off (and many of you remember it well) will be eliminated. We do mimeograph our bi-monthly Eureka Jr. In this, the students get practical experience in assembling materials, typing stencils and mimeographing. Our advertisers have been most co-operative. By obtaining more ads and charging slightly more for each because of the better appearance of a printed page, we hope to be able to keep the selling price ol the Eureka the same as it has been for the past several years. We all hope you will like this year's Eureka. Any suggestions you may have w ill be welcome. “WHAT WE OBTAIN TOO CHEAPLY, WE ESTEEM TOO LIGHTLY” Since the beginning of time, things we have got for little effort we have tended to discard or forget easily. Everyone has probably had that experience at some time or other in some way. 1 agree it is a privilege to be a “whiz” at school work without trying, but too many times when you get through school too easily, you think you can always do things without effort. The other fellow, who has had to strive hard to get through, will usually try hard all his life and will go farther because he paid a higher price for his “goods”. A person takes over his father's business firm when his father dies quite un expectedly. He is suddenly a rich man with no dependents. What a life he thinks he'll lead! But the business fails because of lack of guidance. He has attained something too cheaply and he doesn't esteem it justly. The man who, through hard work, saves a lew dollars to start a small business, soon becomes very pros- perous and he is always alert to make it better. He has paid a good price for his success and he is ready to pay more, if necessary. Education is free to a person for a certain length of time in public school. You've probably noticed how many of the students don't care whether they pass or not. T hey get their education too cheaply. 3 1 saved freedom for the last because it is most important and the privilege which is taken the most lightly. In our generation freedom was bequeathed to us and we took it without thinking of who gave it to us, how they achieved it, or the price they paid. For generations, in one way or another, things have been taken too lightly when others worked for them. We should all try to take things we get cheaply, evaluate them properly, and use them wisely. Perhaps we could put Thomas Paine’s famous quotation out of date: What we obtain too cheaply, we esteem too lightly.” Andrea Poland Wing '55 “WHAT WE OBTAIN TOO CHEAPLY, WE ESTEEM TOO LIGHTLY” In the world today, we seem to take every thing for granted. We think that since we have so many blessings now, we always will, but we may not always have what we do today. Someday perhaps our freedom may be taken away from us. It will be, that is, if we don’t start doing something about it. If we want our free- dom to last, we must fight to keep it. Our forefathers passed down to us so many things that we have today, that we don't stop to think how the people before us fought and died that we might have a place worth living in. Some people are even complaining because they think they haven't enough of this world's goods. I often wonder what these people would do if they had to live the way their forefathers did about one hundred and fifty years ago. They would consider themselves lucky, 1 think, to be living at the present time. We in the United States have much more to be thankful for than do the people in other lands, such as China and India. This is perhaps because they don’t know what real freedom is. If they did, they would try hard to get more freedoms in their countries. If we want our children and grandchildren to live in a country of peace and freedom, instead of poverty and unrest, we must all help each other in making it the best place on earth.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We started Woodstock High School in September, 1951. We were all very shy and timid. Somehow we weathered Freshman Reception enough to promise ourselves that the Freshmen would suffer when we were Seniors. There were twenty-one, Arlene Brown, Edith Cox, Albert Cross, Maynard Cushman, Adelaide Emery, Alicia Emery, Luna Farrington, Phillip Farrington. Nada Hinckly, Clyde Knights, Lillian LaValley, Louise LaValley, William Ma son, Rex Martin, Sandra Martin, Carson Martin, Wallace Hussey, Andrea Poland, Leona Whitman, Ben Wilson, and Elizabeth York. In our Freshman year, we did hardly anything to raise money as all the upper classes did it. Before the end of the first year, we had lost Lillian LaValley (Mrs. John Hicks), Clyde Knights, Ben Wilson, Carson Martin, Edith Cox, Arlene Brown, and Wallace Hussey. In the first year the additions to our class were Beverly Cox and Jacquelyn Rich. We ended our Freshman year with fourteen. In our Sophomore year, we put more emphasis on money-making by putting on square dances. Only one dropped out of the class in our second year, that be- ing Elizabeth York. Thirteen entered in September, 1953, to our Junior Class. We put on food sales, square dances and various parties to earn money for our class trip. How- ever, one black thing to look forward to was prize speaking. After weeks of prac- ticing, we finally mastered our speeches and presented them, with shaking knees. Two Junior girls helped put on the Senior play, Sandra Martin anti Jackie Rich. We were very sorry to lose Jackie Rich at the end of our Junior year. She mar ried an old classmate, Clyde Knights. Also, much to everyone's disappointment Adelaide and Alicia Emery moved to Massachusetts. We not only lost two great leaders in Woodstock High School, but two good athletes. In the fall of 1954, ten jubilant students entered the walls of Woodstock. We could hardly believe that we were at last Seniors. We did not give the Freshmen a “hard time” as we had sworn we would. It was more work for us than the Freshmen. In October, we went to Portland to have our graduation pictures taken. None ol us enjoyed the sittings, but we did like the trip. In December, we put on our Senior Play “If Mother Only Knew”. This added more money to our precious bank. On March 5th, the Carnival King and Queen were crowned. The queen was Sandra Martin and the King, Phillip Farrington. We all had a lovely time at the Ball. On April 17th, five boys and two girls started for New York with their cha- perones, Lucy Andrews and Howard MacKillop. We were sorry that all the girls did not want to go to New York with us. We have enjoyed all four years in high school, and we will have many pleas ant memories of W. H. S. forever. 12 BABY FACE This IS L ovjl ise ? (TclJidNJ haircu T, ?

We had traveled all day long and were very tired. We also had been out the night before playing pranks on people. This probably didn’t help any. The camp looked the same as usual except that the owner had built a new wharf which ran out into the lake. This also had a nice diving board on the end of it. We would probably spend a good many hours swimming here. As we walked up the stairs to our bedroom we wondered if the Dawson Twins were here yet. These were two girls, seventeen years old, whom we had met the summer before. We had spent about two weeks entertaining these twins and had enjoyed it very much. We talked over the old times as we waited for sleep to overtake us. Johnny and Pete were two boys from the city. Johnny had come every year with his parents since he was a little boy. He was now eighteen. Last year he in- vited Pete, his next door neighbor. That's me. 1 had really enjoyed that trip and when he invited me this year I almost shouted with joy. 1 had been looking for- ward to this trip for a long time and now that we re here it sure seems awfully good. The next morning we rose early and hurried down to breakfast. It didn’t take us long to devour the pancakes and maple syrup and we were soon in the boat heading for the Dawson’s camp. The outboard motor was a speedy one and we soon arrived at our destination. The twins came rushing down to the wharf as our boat swung along side it. Janet was a light blonde, about five feet two, and Janice was a brunette about five feet four. They were both very good specimens and the boys always liked their company. After talking over old times we decided to go for a boat ride around the lake. We climbed into the boat and with Johnny at the motor we were soon skimming over water. The lake was a big one about seven miles long. One side of it was covered with camps while the other was stili wild. A big mountain overhung the water forming a very haunted effect on the water and islands near. There were several beaches along the lake and this usually drew a lot of summer people. After several hours of riding we decided to visit the islands on which we used to have picnics. This island was in the shadows of the mountain which towered above. It didn’t take too long to reach it and we were soon scrambling up the banks onto the island. We found the place as we had expected to. We sat down side of the old fireplace and joked and talked. As we sat there, the time passed and it started to get dark. Just as we started for camp one of the girls jumped and told us to listen. We listened for several minutes and were about ready to give up when we heard voices from the top of the mountain. It sounded like someone yelling. We listened and heard it several times more. We couldn’t make out what they were yelling. We soon headed for home as it was getting darker by the minute. We were all mystified by the voices and finally decided to come back the next day. It was really dark when we pulled into our camp and boy were we starved! We gulped down our supper like hungry dogs for we had only a sandwich for lunch. It didn’t take us long to get to bed for we were planning to rise early the next morning. The next morning I awoke to find the sun already pouring in the window. I Hew out of bed and woke Johnny without too much of a tussle. We hurried down stairs and ate our breakfast in a hurry for we were already late in getting started, it didn’t take us very long to arrive at the Dawson’s camp and expected to find the twins mad because we were late. As we landed the boat at the wharf, Janice came running out of the camp to tell us they weren’t quite ready. 15 After waiting for the girls to pack our lunch and get ready, we started for the foot of the mountain by boat. Upon our arrival at the base of the mountain, the sun had risen high in the sky. It was really warm so we prepared for the climb to the top of the mountain We took our lunch and started for the top. We couldn’t climb straight up the face of it for it was too steep. As we were all from the city we weren’t used to this and didn’t make very fast headway. Once we came to a place where you could look out over the lake. It was a beautiful sight. The boats looked like ants crawling along a mirror. After resting for a few minutes, we continued the climb. It wasn’t too long before we reached the top. Upon reaching the top, we found a small Hat field surrounded by trees. Non was the time to solve our mystery. We hurried toward the center of the opening and found a fireplace. There had been a fire in it the night before for it was still warm. We looked around but didn’t find anything else. We listened and we didn't hear anything out of the ordinary. After we had sat around for a while, we started for the bottom of the mountain, our mystery still unsolved. What evet was there the night before was now gone. Now your guess is as good as ours. What was it? Maynard Cushman ’55 ALL ALONE Slam! went the back door as two little boys rushed through. They were covered with so much mud and jelly the freckles didn't show, but they were numerous. “Mom! Mom! come quick!” Mother’s head appeared from the cellar door. “I’m down here sorting jelly for you boys to smear all over your faces. You stay up there. It's cold down here.” “But mom; we've got an idea. We want to sleep out in the tent tonight.” There was a crash from the cellar, then silence until mother’s head appeared again. “What did you say?” “We want to sleep out in the tent.” They dancetl around excitedly making the kitchen floor fairly bounce. “Well, I don’t know. The last time the neighbor's dog scared you in. You'll have to ask your father.” “Oh boy!” shouted Johnny. “Yippee!” yelled Jerry, “we can.” Mother knew she had lost the fight as well as they did. Father would sleep in the tent himself if she would allow him to. She sighed and went back down cellar to the jelly. That night was a warm starry night with the crickets singing happily — the kind of night when noise seemed much louder and right beside you. The boys had been tucked in and mom and dad had gone into the house. For a while the boys slept, then they seemed to awake almost at the same instant. A sudden sound brought them upright in their beds. “What was that?” stuttered Jerry. “I’m scared. Let’s go in the house.” Johnny tried to act brave, but he found he was inclined to agree with Jerry. Suddenly he got an idea. “You stay here, he told Jerry. Creepy sounds followed him across the lawn and into the back door which Mom had wisely left open. He crept upstairs to his parents' room and opened the door. Dad awoke to find someone shaking his arm. He rolled over and opened one eye. “Dad,” whispered Johnny, “will you come sleep with us in the tent? Dad closed his eyes and almost went back to sleep before he realized what Johnny had said. “You mean outdoors?” he asked. 16 Yes,” urged Johnny, “my bed is big enough for two. Mom won't know you've gone if you sneak back before morning.” Dad, pleased with the idea, took his pillow and blanket and silently they tip- toed from the room. When they had left Mom got out of bed and looked out the window. Down on the lawn Jerry ran to meet them and two little boys and one big boy tramped across the lawn, blankets dragging behind. Mom snugged back in bed and said to herself “Now I can go to sleep without worrying about whether the boys are all right.” Denise Noyes ’57 HILL NO. 206 It was warm for February. The mercury has climbed to 11 above today at noon, maybe not warm compared to Miami, but warm for Korea. The Seventh Calvary has fought, walked, crawled to within ten miles of the 38th parallel. Now they are resting, licking their wounds, and preparing for another slow, tedious drive. One would never know' that these boys flirted w ith death every second, by their outward actions. In this weary moment, with the Communist troops in the immediate vicinity, they joke and laugh as they smoke cigarettes and clean guns and personal effects. Of this group one man doesn’t fit. You could tell if you had just come from the streets of New' York that he doesn’t fit. As the rest smoke and laugh, he sits sullenly and centers lus wdiole attention on the cigarette in his hand. Dave Hig- gins, that is his name, comes from Vermont. Family man, has two kids, and a pretty wife. That’s why lie's so bitter. It seems he fought all through the 2nd World War and then he got married. He just got settled, when this “police ae lion” breaks out over in this good-for-nothing hole. Oh no, they couldn’t draft single boys, who are running around killing people with cars, they have to drag him back into this dirty mess. Why is it a few always get the dirty work? Oh, that’s not all, he could stand the dirty work, but the people back home don't even know a war is going on. They open the paper to the sports page and see how the horses did. Why, the news of the war has taken the second pages now. He could stand it if he knew the people were behind them, but they aren't. Only the rela- tives of the boys know' what is happening over in the “hole”. As he thinks of his wife Betty and his daughters, Barbara and Kathy, his eyes soften, but, in a lew moments, they have again assumed that rough, indifferent look. They start forward again, crouched ready at any minute to dive to cover. Dave is flanked on his left by a Texan, a tall lean man with whom Dave has been here in Korea at the same time as Dave, and who has been liked among the best ii. remotely friendly, and on his right is the guy from Wisconsin who had arrived here in Korea at the same time as Dave, and who has been liketl among the best in the squad. Jason Smith is his name, and he too is married. Glancing at Jason, Dave notes the new lines in his face and the haunting eyes that every veteran possesses. Communist ground batteries pound away in the foreground, accom- panied moments later by shrill whines, as the shells mourn overhead or by the sudden crash nearby. The crunch of snow' under foot is all that can be heard whenever the big guns die lor a moment. “What is the name of this hill.-' Jason is asking. Dave says two hundred and something, he doesn’t know for sure, and they continue, crouched for a sudden leap, not knowing when or where, but know- ing it will come. Suddenly in front and a little to the left a machine gun chatters. To Dave's left four men double, grab their stomachs and fall, all dead when they hit the soft snow. Their legs kicked once or twice and then are still. Dave, the Texan, and Jason are hugging a little embankment, which provides momentary shelter from the machine gun, which somebody will have to knock out, before further ad- vancement. Looking about, it dawns on Dave that everyone else is in the same position. 17 pinned down and not able to move. A hand grenade suddenly comes over the embankment and the Texan picks it up and throws it back belore it explodes. The three know what will happen if they remain here, because next time there will be two grenades. The three rise suddenly and run a crisscross pattern toward a more sheltered rock. The Red's machine gun chatters and Dave feels a numbing in his left leg as the Texan and Jason fall. Dave keeps going and dives behind the rock as another burst of fire blows pieces of rock into his face. Dave knows his predicament. The rest of the souad is pinned down on the sitle of the embankment. He is the only one with a chance to toss a grenade into the machine gun nest. He pulls the picture of his wife anti kids from his shirt pocket and looks at them for a long minute. Finally he puts the picture back in the pocket and pulls the pin on one of his hand grenades. He waits, knowing he will get it back if he throws too quickly, finally he stands straight and heaves straight armed. It hits a bull's eye as men and the machine gun both are blown into the air. Dave is smiling. He wonders what the kids are doing now. Probably just coming home from school. Suddenly he realizes his mistake as an explosion occurs in his head. He begins to see why he is here and a lot of other things, but he is sinking — sinking into a bottomless pit. The one surviving Red smiles, and sneaks away through the small trees, as the remainder of Dave's squad walk, crouching forward, up the embankment. Rex Martin '55 A CHANGE As the door opens into a home in a town of the West and you look around a small, one-room house, or rather a “shanty”. You see three children, Jodi Lynn, 16, Sammy, 10, the baby, Sally, a few weeks old, the mother, Jane, and the father Jim; they are all huddling around the small stove in the middle ol the small living quarters in which they were staying because of the low wages of the bread winner of the family. Let’s start at the beginning and see how this all started. — When Jane and Jim were first married they had a nice home, and money enough to make them live comfortably. When the first baby was born, a girl, Jodi Lynn, everything seemed complete, and things were still going fine when the next, a boy, Sammy, was born. Right after this, however, disaster struck — Jim was at work one day when a machine mashed his leg to bits, just below the knee. They rushed him to the hospital, and said he would have to recuperate a long time, but that he would be all right, if you can call losing a leg all right. Taking care of the family and hospital bills and all the other expenses had almost completely drained his savings, and he had to give up his house and car. He thought he would be all right, though, because the place where he worked offered him a job doing something else, where he could be used and not feel as if it was just a favor to him. He recovered rather well under the circumstances and was back doing fine. One night he heard a fire alarm, and was soon informed that it was the mill where he had worked, ft had burned flat; Jim was out of a job. He tried everywhere, but no one would hire a man with only one leg and crutches. They decided to move out of the village in to a small one-room shack where it would not be so hard to get along. Jim could find a job once in a while. It wasn't steady and the wages were low. It was hard to get enough for one skimpy meal a day. Things went on in this condition for several years until the next baby, Sally, was born. When she was a couple of weeks old, a letter arrived in the mail — the first one in a long time, except for bills. They thought this also was a much-hated bill of some sort, but when the postman said it was a telegram they hurriedly opened it to find the good or bad news, whichever it might be. The mother read it through once 18 and her mouth fell open. Then Jim read it and his went the same way. All of a sudden, they both started laughing. This is what the telegram stated. You have inherited 20 thousand dollars from your great aunt Elsie Keddedy in California stop Being plated in your account in town bank immediately stop When convenient you may go there and sign any necessary papers Sam Carter, Attorney at Law. Jim and Jane didn’t believe it and decided it was a joke of some kind, but curiosity got the best of them and Jim started to town on his crutches. When he arrived, he went straight to the bank where the money was supposed to be. Sure enough, even the banker greeted him at the door, and Jim went into his oflice with the biggest smile he'd ever worn. After signing papers and papers, the money was legally his and Jane's, and he rushed home to affirm the telegram. Everyone was all a dither when he arrived and said the telegram was correct. Plans are being made now as to what they’ll use the money for. — Perhaps you can guess. — You’d do the same under the same circumstance. Andrea Poland Wing '55 IN A LITTLE SCHOOL In a small town in the middle part of Vermont, a schoolhouse sat at the top of a long hill. In the schoolhouse a man was working. The sound of a broom scratching on the cement basement floor could be heard. The janitor was a short man with many wrinkles in his kind old face. He liked children and he would often let them ring the big bell by pulling hard on the long rope. He stayed night and day at the schoolhouse, but on weekends he would go to his home. It was a cold winter night and the wind was howling around the corners of the building. The janitor thought it was about time to eat the supper which a lady teacher had given him. A basket held his favorite food — a jar of apple sauce with biscuits. Then a slam of a screen over a window startled the man. He sat back down and said aloud, “Tain’t no use to jump at a little sound. I’ll be a nervous wreck if that window ain’t fixed.” He had decided to go to bed. He slept on a cot in the boiler room beside the sale which held both grammar and high school money. Then the screen gave another bang and he thought he might as well fix it. He made his way out of the building to the outside fire escape and started climb- ing up toward the screen. As he looked up, he was struck in the face by something whic h made him sec stars. His fingers were slipping from the rungs of the ladder-like fire escape There was a thud as he fell to the ground. When he woke up, it was still night. He couldn't remember what had hap pened. He ran to the door of the schoolhouse and hurried down to the basement and to the safe. Nothing had happened there. Nothing had been stolen from this room. He went through each and every room searching lor a person who might be hiding, but he found no one. He gave up the search and went to bed. The next morning was bright and beautiful. The children were on their way up the long hill. The janitor looked at them through a window. He went to the first grade room where, on the window sill, a box had been placed in which to put crumbs for the birds. He spread some of the dried crumbs along the bottom of the box. I'.) As he went about his work, he kept wondering all day long what had hit him. His back was a little stiff after the fall. Curiosity was getting the best of him by the end of the day. He decided that he would try to fix the screen again, if the wind came up and made it bang against the shingles. But there wasn't any wind on this bright moonlight night. He was in bed, almost asleep, when he began to hear a squeaking sound from the Hoot above him. Then a door creaked and the janitor slipped out of bed to see il he could find a hiding place so that he would be ready lor whoever it was. He started toward the stairway to go upstairs, but he didn't dare to move too far from the school safe. He tripped over something and went sprawling over his bed. He said to himself, “The best thing to do is crawl under the bed, I believe, so he did. He got tired lying there listening and finally fell asleep. When he woke up the next morning, he looked around to see where he was. He began to get scared. Who was there last night? What was it and what did it want? Question alter question he asked himself. Was it after him or the money? He didn't know. The third day of not knowing was a dreadful one for the old man. I he chil- dren came as usual and went home as usual, but the janitor wasn’t so happy today. His face was wrinkled from worrying. When it began to get dark, he ate his supper. “Tonight, he thought, “I’ll stay in a closet and when I hear something, I'll sneak up behind it and turn on a flashlight to blind whatever it is. But as the night dragged on, not one sound had he heard. He went to sleep, cramped up. In the morning his legs were stiff. He went down to his makeshift bedroom and there, the answer to his questions, his fear, and wondering, was the thing in his bed. After his first started glance he recog- nized his twin brother whom he hadn't seen for five years. He shook his brother to waken him. His brother jumped out of the janitor's bed. When the twin's eyes were wide open, they both laughed. Then the janitor asked, “Were you the person who was prowling around here last night?” I have been trying to find where you were working,” he replied. To this day he hasn't found out what it was that had hit him on the head. My guess would be the swinging screen. Louise LaValley '55 SCHOOL GIRLS’ CRUSH Pete, who worked in the corner drug store, was a special attraction to the freshman girls of W. H. S. To every one else Pete was just another boy. The junior girls couldn’t see how the freshman girls could sit there foi hours gazing at nis long, sharp nose, his high cheek bones, his chin which hung nearly to his chest, his black and white horn rimmed glasses from behind which two piercing eyes stared at you. You didn't have to look at his hair which stood out like a sore thumb, under his neat white cap. While all the other girls were sipping on their sodas, Judy sat back a few seats admiring his homely face and straggly hair. Poor Pete! Most of the boys felt sorry for him. He couldn't keep a steady girl friend. But Pete didn’t mind. He thought all the girls were crazy over him. some of the boys who didn’t know what happened would get really bitter, but those who knew were patient. Every night after school the girls would come trouping in. Some were cute, others — oh, well — shall we say not too attractive to the eye? Of all the girls Judy was the one who really liked Pete; she was rather cute with her reddish pony tail, big blue eyes, her brown shirt with clean fresh jeans, but Pete never noticed her. He always gave the other girls the biggest sodas. Then one day Judy came to the drug store alone. Pete was hurt. He asked Judy why the other girls were not there. Then Judy told him they only liked him because he gave them big sodas. So Judy had Pete to herself from that day on. Now the girls are trying to get big sodas some where else from some other soft-hearted soda jerk. Beverly Morgan '57 20 KEEPER OF THE LIGHTHOUSE I am the keeper of the lighthouse Fifty years have I seen pass, Fifty years of salty breezes Fifty years without a lass. For I have c hosen a lonely life So I may warn the ship of rocks, And as I Hash the light, I pray That God sees that it safely docks. They have no way of thanking me For showing them the light. But in their hearts they give me thanks For guidance on a stormy night. Sandra Martin '55 MY CAR My car is black with a flying tail. I step on the gas, Then start to sail. The headlights that fail at night Have kept with me Only in day light. The brakes take only half the time But when I don't need them, They always work fine. Twenty years ago people said, “Wow!” Now beside the new cars. It looks like a scow. Phillip Farrington '55 FIRST SNOW When I arose this morning, And looked through the frosted glass, 1 gazed upon the sparkling snow Which covered the frozen grass. It was drifted against the fence posts Which lead to the old barn door; And I could see the Huffy snow Being sifted on the floor. The snow was nice to look at, And the children romped and played. But it wasn't much fun for me Who had to shovel it all clay. I still admire the beauty of snow, And this makes my mother puzzled, For I always moan and groan, When she says, “Get the shovel.” Kent Martin '57 A POEM My pen is here, my ink is there. My paper, it is blank. “A poem”, said Mrs. Herrick, “Or you will get no rank.” So here 1 sit, My pen in my hand; Then I think of something Which sounds grand. After it's finished, I will say, “There’s an assignment done For another day.” Luna Farrington ’55 MY TREASURES The trees are a part of my treasures Which I have on this earth here below — The flowers, the birds, and the creatures. And all that God has made grow. I would not swap my treasures Nor part with them for diamonds or pearls. For they bring rest and contentment, From all the cares in the world. God gave us all our treasures; Some loves are different from mine, But could anyone be happier than 1? I have all ol nature sublime. Andrea Poland ’55 MORNING In summer the dew shines over the ground. The flowers sparkle with dew drops round. In autumn the frost turns the ground so white. In early morn and again late at night. The sun rises slowly away in the east, While fleecy clouds surround man and beast. The blue of the heavens stretches around, Above all the hills till it touches the ground. The whole world sparkles and seems to be brighter; Spirits are high and hearts are lighter. The village is stirring as it slowly awakes. I await each new morn and the beauty it makes. Denise Noyes '57 WINTER The wind whistled around the cabin, The weather was cold and damp. Although the fires were still blazing, It was growing colder in the camp; The snow was piling upon the roof. While the people were sleeping sound. It was quite a surprise to all of them To find themselves snow bound. Geraldine Cushman '58 21 Svctivitied 1954 BASEBALL The Tigers started off the baseball season of 1954 by licking Leavitt 8-0. Bill Mason pitched a 1-hit shutout, and fanned 17 batters for the win.

Or- mond Andrews CLanxiual The 1955 Winter Carnival was held on March 4 and 5. On the evening of March 4, the Woodstock boys and girls played a handicap basketball game. It was a hilarious event, and the boys won by quite a large margin. Saturday morning, March 5, everyone gathered at Oak Hill to watch the skiing, snowshoeing and other events. More students participated this year than in previous years, so the competition was stiller. On the evening of March 5, the gymnasium was the center of activity, as everyone came to the Annual Carnival Ball. There were many beautiful gowns and it was a very colorful evening. Sandra Martin was crowned queen, and Phillip Farrington was crowned king. Everyone enjoyed himself at the ball. 31 Seated: Leona LaValley, Robert Davis, Mrs. Herrick. Charles Johnson.

So,, , xomore cl, CIVS President Edison Henderson Treasurer Orene Mason Secretary Charlotte Schultz Student Council Ormond Andrews We entered our sophomore year at Woodstock with twenty classmates. This seemed quite different because when we left as freshmen we had only sixteen. Our new additions were Edison Henderson, transferred from South Paris, and James Swan, Harold “Buddie” Stimans and Lorraine Billings, all from Gould Academy. The only classmate lost from our freshman year was a very well-liked girl, Leona Davis, who now has the new name of Mrs. Cecil Farnum and is living at her home in South Woodstock. At our first class meeting, we elected Buddie Stimans as president, but he left our class in November. We decided to earn some money for our treasury by having a cowboy show. We had a group known as the “Pine Tree Ramblers”, managed by Raymond Nowlin. They drew a good crowd and we did very well on the show. The last of February our number was reduced by losing Geraldine Walker. She had entered our class during the last part of our freshman year. We now stand as eighteen sophomores, and we all hope that all of us will graduate together as the class of ’57. 35 Sophomore a :57 CAN THIS BE SO ate Ormond Andrews Beverly Morgan Charlotte Schultz Edison Henderson Elaine Cushman Kent Martin Robert Sweetser Richard Mclnnis Eva Harlow Denise Noyes Pearl Farrington James Swan Arthur Coffin Lorraine Billings Carolyn Dean Doris Brooks Wallace Hussey George Gobel My Little Margie Martha Raye Rocky Gomba Annie Oakley Francis (Milton’s Show) Pinky Lee Bob Cummings Agnes Gibbs Joan Davis Betty White Groucho Marx Sid Caesar Martha Scott Lucille Ball Julia Goodwin Jack Webb THE IDEAL GIRL MUST HAVE Personality of Pearl Farrington Figure of Beverly Morgan Hair of Elaine Cushman I.Q. of Denise Noyes Teeth of Eva Harlow Out-of-door ambition of Doris Brooks Complexion of Lorraine Billings Legs of Carolyn Dean I he school spirit of Charlotte Schultz THE IDEAL BOY MUST HAVE Ambition of Wallace Hussey Hair of Kent Martin Teeth of James Swan Height of Arthur Coffin Eyes of Richard Mclnnis Flirting ability of Edison Henderson Voice of Robert Sweetser School Spirit of Ormond Andrews THE SOPHOMORE AUTOMOBILE The Sophomores have a car of their own They chive it all about If you ever see it headed your way I’d advise you to “watch out”.
