Mr. O’Connor is the instructor and is a very nice teacher. The requirements of the course are that one must be fifteen years of age, and have thirty hours of classwork and six hours of actual driving. These are the state requirements. The instructor likes to get in more driving than is required, if possible. The state issues tests which are given for the permit before one can start the course. An eye test is also necessary. The permit which Mr. O’Connor gives, however, is good only while driving with him. If one is a license holder when he takes this course, he is required to have a permit just like the students without a license. Quizzes, which are given over the textbook, are standard tests furnished by the A.A.A. One important benefit of the course is that, if a boy completes the course, he get a deduction of 10? to 15? on his automobile insurance. I feel that it is money well spent and, if all schools continue to have driver education, 1 can’t help but believe that it will cut down our terrible tralfic record. All of these people that are killed, or perhaps crippled for life, have a right in this world just as much as you or I. I sincerely hope that this course will be continued at Woodstock High School, as I feel it benefits many students who wouldn’t have the opportunity to learn otherwise. Some families do not have cars and some young people would not care to leam to drive if the course were offered in school. I believe it should be a required subject. I hope many people will give this matter careful consideration. Geraldine Cushman HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL If you can finish high school, you should do it, because without going through school, there isn’t much that you can do to get ahead in life. The people who leave school before they graduate will find that the chances of their getting the job they have always wanted is very slim. To get the most out of high school, work hard, get along with people, and do the best you can. A high school diploma means a better all-round job, a better career, and a chance to advance in life. So stay in school, and get the most out of it. It will be better for you now, later, and always. Alan Farrington, ’59 SUCCESS Success, in a broad sense, means different things to different people. Per- haps it means the gaining of money or position. To a housewife, success may result from keeping a home neat, clean, comfortable, and happy. 5 According to the dictionary, “Success is the favorable result, issue, consequ- ence; a prosperous ending to an attempt or undertaking of something. To one person, success may mean the pleasing of another person. Then there is a public success, such as being elected President of the United States; or a notorious success, as being a leader of a so-called gang. Success may mean to a captain of a steamship or to a pilot of a plane or any other craft, getting safely from port to port and accomplishing his mission. To movie stars, success would mean the way they presented themselves to the public, in their acting ability and in their appearance. In a different direction, what woidd success mean to a teacher? I think perhaps to a teacher success would mean really getting across to the pupil an understanding of the problems that might confront him through the school year, and ideas to help in solving his future problems. Perhaps it would be a success to build up someone with low mentality, so that he could do more things for himself and get them right. On the other hand, let’s take the side of the pupil. Success would mean the ability to study and learn and to get good ranks. Naturally, if a child got a rank of 100 two or three times, he would boast, because that would be his successful attempt to better his grade from the 50 or 60 marks he had pre- viously been getting. To a basketball team, success would mean not only winning a game but the way in which it was won, or perhaps even lost. Success might mean what the players put into the game. If they did better than they had done at other times— really fought all the way and showed good sportsmanship—they woidd have achieved a measure of success. To any individual, success means the favorable result and achieving an end which answers the purpose intended. Christine Berry, ’59 INDUSTRIAL ARTS COURSE Last year the shop was cut down in size to make a new classroom. When it was converted, a storage space was made underneath the front steps entering the school with a direct door between it and the shop. A new overhead garage door was also installed. The shop has a new foundry and a new jig-saw. Next year they are planning to get a new oxy-acetylene torch. There are 23 boys taking Ibis course. The present graduating class started the course when it was put in 4 years ago. The only Seniors who have completed the entire course are Clinton Cushman and Phillip Davis. John Chase, who graduated from Woodstock in 1956, is now at G.S.T.C. training to be an Industrial Arts teacher and Clinton Cushman has been accepted for this fall. Mr. Keniston, the instructor, is a graduate of Gorham. The following is a list of a few of the things which the boys have been mak- ing this year: model house, gun cabinet, a reproduction of an antique, cedar chest, metal-hammers, book-ends, landing nets, end tables, clamps, book-case, cold chisels, stools, chairs, coffee tables, telegraph sending and receiving sets, electric motors, hot dog roaster, turned bowls, metal bench plate stand, tire bead breaker and automobile engine work. This course offers four types of training: Woodworking, Metal Working, Automotive Work and Electricity. Even though it was cut down in size it still is one of the best shops in all the small schools around. 6 CLINTON MANNO CUSHMAN PHILLIP CHARLES DAVIS “Phil” Industrial Arts He may be quiet, he may be shy, but see that mischief in his eye.

Jen i or L ta .s.s Sixteen frightened freshmen entered Woodstock High School on September 8, 1954. They were Clinton Cushman, Phillip Davis, Geraldine Cushman, Lea- trice Fammn, Beverly Poland, Thomas Allanach, Richard Wing, Leon Poland, Peter Cox, Eleanor Cox, Nadine Waterhouse, Samuel Sumner, Kaye Ring, Mar- garet Henley, Orin Sprague, Ilerschel Reed. In a few days Robert Vallee joined us, making seventeen in the class. Herschel Reed transferred to South Paris, and later Orin Sprague and Richard Wing dropped out, leaving us with fourteen in the class. We all lived through freshman week, but were ready to pull out the seniors hair by the time the reception was over. We did very little to raise money our first year. In September, 1955 fourteen brave sophomores came back to W.H.S. But our number soon dropped to twelve, as Thomas Allanach left us to go to South Portland, and Robert Vallee joined the Army. We were glad to have Herschel Reed back from South Paris, making thirteen in the class. Our class rings caine in October. We were all pleased with them. We rais- ed money by having roller skating and dancing parties and a cowboy show. In September, 1956, twelve juniors returned to good old W.H.S. Leon Poland and Margaret Henley did not come back with us. Eleanor Cox soon left to become Mrs. John Mason, and our new member, Rita Pingree, left to work. Peter Cox transferred to Gorham, N.H., and Herschel Reed left to work in Massachusetts. In the fall Herbert Hatfield, Jr., came from South Paris to make nine in the class. We raised a considerable amount of money during our junior year. Gerald- ine Cushman and Nadine Waterhouse were high salesmen for the magazine cam- paign, thereby bringing a per centage of the proceeds to our class treasury. Our fund was further boosted by a paper drive, by selling candy, potato chips, and Italian sandwiches at school, and by a very successful cowboy show. On carni- val day we sold lunches at noon, and refreshments at the ball. We also had a junior prom at which Beverly Poland was crowned princess with Herbert Hat- field, Jr., as prince. In September, 1957, ten of us as seniors took our places in Woodstock for the last time, hardly able to believe we were seniors. The new member of our class was Gerald Smith from Gould Academy. We gave the freshmen a bad time and took out on them what we had suffered as freshmen. On September 19, we went to Portland to have our class pictures taken. We all had a wonderful day, which we will remember for a long time. On January 11, we put on our senior play, “Hobgoblin House.” The proceeds added a great deal to our class fund, and the play was a success. The seniors wish to thank Mrs. Herrick for the time and work she put into it. On February 22, the king and queen of the winter carnival were crowned, the queen being Leatrice Famuni and the king, Herbert Hatfield, Jr. We all had a wonderful time at the ball. Our thanks go to Mr. and Mrs. Jordan for chaperoning. On April 19, the seniors left for New York on the class trip, with Mr. Philip Bolen and Mrs. Miriam Morgan as chaperons. We were sorry that two of the members did not go. We had enough money left from expenses to give everyone in the class a share. We all hope to graduate on June 3. We have enjoyed our four years at W.H.S. and will keep our memories of them with us always.

I have such a place. It is the most beautiful spot I know. To get to it I go through a long field of tall green grass; then I come to a steep hill, with a path leading down to a winding brook. As I go down the path, 1 see, at the bottom of the hill, “my” spot. Not far from the edge of the water is a huge rock, and when I stand on it, I feel as though I were looking at the ocean from a high bridge. Just beyond is a smaller rock, where I like to sit and dangle my feet in the refreshing water. The water is calm and mirror-like, and through it I can see many fish, large and small, swimming lazily around. To my right, there is a small falls rushing into the brook. On my left is an- other falls sending the water tumbling down into a lower part of the stream. As I look toward the opposite bank, I see beautiful white birches reflected in the water. If I look behind me, there are more trees, which also use the brook for a mirror. flipping into the water for a swim, I suddenly come alive. Every part of my body senses the change and I feel like a new person. I could stay in this spot for hours and forget all my troubles. I go home feel- ing at peace with the world. Somehow I know I can always go back when I need to get away from it all. The trees will always be there, the brook, the rocks, and the fish—all essential parts of the most beautiful spot I know. Beverly Poland, ’58 LIFE’S DARKEST MOMENT The little incident which 1 am about to tell you concerns me and my old model-A Ford tractor. I had just done a valve job on this tractor and now was ready to see if it would run again. Grabbing the crank and thinking everything must be in good condition, I tried to turn the motor over; but, alas! It wouldn’t even budge. I couldn’t un- derstand what was the matter. During the operation I didn’t remember leaving out or putting in any parts, so I figured the starter must be locked. With that in mind, I took off the starter and found that it wasn’t locked at all. Now I really began to worry, for I thought the motor must be stuck. That 15 was very possible because there was only about a quarter of an inch between the piston and cylinder. 1 was nearly ready to take the cylinder head off, but lirst I decided to try pulling it with my car. During this procedure the motor turned over. You may be wondering why 1 couldn’t crank it. Well, I must be truthful. 1 had left it in gear! Clinton Cushman, ’58 THE TAP ON THE WINDOW It was a cold night in the North. Snow had been falling since the day before, and everything was covered with a thick white blanket. Hidden away deep in a valley was a tiny cabin. The window had a cherry glow, and smoke spiraled from the chimney. It looked like a comforting shelter from the storm. Inside, a trapper was standing before a pot-bellied stove that was fairly red with heat. 1 he other trappers were a half hour late. As he listened to the wind howl and shriek around the little cabin, he moved closer to the stove. The trapper was really worried now. Suppose his friends were lost? And in this storm! Maybe he should go looking for them. He reached for his coat but decided against going. He would just get lost himself. Now the wind was a terrific gale which shook the cabin. Just then he heard a rap. “They’re here,” he thought. As he opened the door, a gust of wind blew in sifting snow around his feet. No one was there! “My imagination, he decided. As he walked back to the stove, he heard another rap, this time at the win- dow. He glanced at it, but saw nothing. The rapping continued about every two minutes. The trapper was becoming frantic. Finally a weird sound came through the cabin. It was a faint “O-oo-ee.” He grabbed his rifle and stool very tense as the sound came closer. Then the door burst open and in stumbled the trappers, red with cold. The first trapper asked, “Did you see anything tapping at the window?” “No, nothing but a branch from a fallen tree,” was the reply, “But didn’t you hear a strange noise?” The trapper asked wonderingly. “No, just us calling to you.” Carmen Martin, ’61 CATS ARE A NUISANCE! Believe you me, they are! That is, in my opinion. They have a way of always rubbing against me at the wrong time and “rubbing me the wrong way.” Either I’m watching a hair-raising mystery, or I’ve just put on my ski pants 16 that I took so much care pressing, and who happens along at that moment? No one but my mother’s favorite cat! Just at the most tense moment of the mystery, I feel that furry tail brush by the back of my legs; and, wih a blood-curdling cry, I jump sky high. Or the cat brushes by, leaving behind a trail of white cat’s hair on those neatly pressed ski pants. It’s just at that moment I’d like to give him a swift kick, but mother dear is standing by as I cast that eat the evil eye. So he goes on nibbing against other legs and other ski-pants, and nothing is said or done. And, as cats usually do, lie’s living his full nine lives. Nadine Waterhouse, ’58 CHURCH BELLS l'he church bells are ringing; You can hear them loud and clear As they ring out the age-old message We all love to hear: “Come to church! Come to church!” Each Sunday of the year. Kaye Ring, ’58 HE LOVES US ALL Whether you’re big, whether you’re small. It makes no difference, God loves all. Whether you’re meek, whether you’re bold. Cod loves you better than you love gold. In the Bible you are told, That God loves all within His fold. Remember, when you kneel to pray, To say, ‘God help us not to stray.” MY CAR I have an old car, Which isn’t much good. The bumpers rattle; So does the hood. The fenders are bent, And the lights are quite low; The mulfler is gone. And the horn doesn’t blow. The motor’s not bad— It just skips quite a bit. And the gas doesn’t burn— It just runs right through it. But after all’s said and done. She’s still quite a ear, As long as you drive slow And don’t go very far.

The megaphone was repainted. We hope to have a maroon W on it next year. We had several new cheers this year, and in the fall we had a rally so that the school could learn both the new and the old cheers. We hope the town will support us in our cheers.

Winter Carnival opened Thursday evening, Febru- ary 20, with a basketball game with the Alumni and a handicap game between the boys and girls. On February 22, the carnival events were held at Oak Hill. Tickets to the Carnival Ball were sold, entitling the holder to one vote for queen. The candidates were Geraldine Cushman, Beverly Poland, Nadine Wa- terhouse, Kaye Ring, and Leatrice Famum. Leatrice Famum, receiving the most votes, was elected queen; and Herbert Hatfield, Jr., was chosen king by the vote of the school. They were crowned at the Carnival Ball by last year’s king and queen, Stanley Newell and Pearl Farrington.

Public cSpea King In the spring of 1957, the public speaking group consisted of Margie Cox, Leatrice Farnum, Pearl Farrington, Evon Gerrish, Lena LaValley, Kaye Ring, and Nadine Waterhouse. Each girl spoke in public at least twice, thereby ful- filling the requirements toward their letters. Winners at the annual prize speak- ing contest held here in May were Pearl Farrington, Lena LaValley, Margie Cox, and Leatice Farnum. Pearl Farrington and Kaye Ring represented Wood- stock at the county contest in Mexico in March, while Leatrice Famum and Mar- gie Cox participated in the Speech Festival at Orono in April. Leatrice hamum, Pearl Farrington, Kaye Ring and Nadine Waterhouse received their letters. Our public speaking season opened this year with the annual meeting of the Oxford County Small Schools’ Public Speaking League at Canton, February 12. Representing Woodstock were Beverly Poland with an original essay and Susan Smith in oral reading. March 14, a group of public speakers went to Buckfield, where Leatrice har- num, Richard Farwell, and Lena LaValley took part in a meet with students from Andover, Buckfield, Canton, and West Paris. Our annual prize speaking contest took place here on March 27. Winners, whose names will be engraved on the Alumni Plaque, were Leatrice Famum, Lena LaValley, Kaye Ring, and Jerry Smith. Other speakers were Richard Far- well, Mary Jane Mclnnis, Eva Mills, Susan Smith, Dorothy Bean, and Hazel Crocker. Lena LaValley represented the school at the Maine Speech Festival at Orono, April 19, and was given a rating of Excellent. 28 CHEMISTRY LABORATORY Jerry Smith, Samuel Sumner, Mrs. Jordan, Kaye Ring, Lena LaValley.

The Woodstock Tigers, under the coaching of Floyd Keniston, enjoyed a won- derful season. We lost some games but had a very good time. At the close of the season, some of the mothers and friends of the team gave a banquet for Tigers and the Tigerettes. It was a delicious supper, and we appreciated it very much. .After the supper, we enjoyed an interesting talk by Mr. James Beaudry, the basketball coach at Norway High School. He talked about sportsmanship, loyalty and courage, illustrating these subjects by facts and humorous incidents, which everyone enjoyed very much. 33 Back Row: Hazel Crocker, Christine Berry, Alan Farrington, Kenneth Roberts, Thurl Hutch- ins, Gilbert Dunham, Maynard Harlow, Evon Gerrish.
