Alumni Editor Sylvia Cushman Christine Berry Class Editors--- Juniors Hazel Crocker Edmund Haskell Freshmen Linda w aiernuuovj Patricia Davis Gilbert Haskell TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE My title, although long, is a fitting one, as I have much to say. I have felt for a long time that young people in high school aren't really so bad as people think they are. That is to say, they wouldn't be, if they would be themselves instead of trying to imitate someone else. Many young people, especially those in high school today, act like children; perhaps that is the reason they are treated as such. Please let me explain. In order to have much fun in high school, one must belong to a certain crowd. If he doesn't belong to the crowd, then not only does he not have so much fun, but he's labeled a square , as well. If he does belong in the crowd, then he must follow the leader. But what if the leader isn't a good one? Then the teenager starts doing some of the things he knows are not right and that are against his principles. He doesn't agree with many of the things his crowd is doing, but still he does them. Why? To be with the crowd. The youth of today are quite discouraging, at least from a parent's point of view. But can we put the blame on the parents alone? I think not. Do they buy their son's hotrods for him? Do they know when he is out doing things he ought not to do, such as buying intoxicating beverages, when he told them he was just going over to Jim's house for a little dancing? No, of course they don't. They trusted him enough to let him go, naturally thinking that he was going to do as he said. Crowds or Gangs in high schools are getting more common every day. Why do these crowds exist? Well, I'll tell you. We have some smart-alecs in our high school today, who get satisfaction from something that will bring pain or discomfort to others. Take for an example Fads that go around in school. Some of them are fine, while others aren't so nice. If some person decides to go out and buy a water- pistol and run around shooting water in everyone's face, then the rest of the crowd will do this also. That, in itself, isn't too harmful; but if someone starts shooting little sticks and spitballs across the rooms, they can harm people. Then it is not just all in fun. Many of the ones who go along with the crowd and do these things wouldn't do them if they weren't with the crowd; but when the ranks come out, what about the crowd's ranks? Are they way up high? I don't think so. You'll find them more easily if you look in the lower bracket. Why not be fair to yourself? Give yourself a break. Be an individual. Do your own thinking; don't let someone else do it for you. TO THINE OWN SELF BE FOUND TRUE. Hilda Henley '59 THANKS TO ALL I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for helping the class of '59 during their four years at W.H.S. People have helped in so many ways it would be difficult to mention them all. One of the biggest ways the surrounding communities have helped is by paying tuition, enabling several members of our class to come to Woodstock for an ed- ucation. The village people have helped us to raise money for our class trip by buying tickets to our plays, cowboy shows, proms, and other activities, including the big event of the year, the Winter Carnival. Each year friends help some lucky girl to become the Carnival Queen. The stores and mills, as well as individuals, donate prizes to the winners of the carnival events. The American Legion enables a deserving boy to go to Boys' State each year at the University of Maine and a girl to attend Girls' State at Colby College. We are very grateful to the Alumni for the many fine things they have done for our school and also to the sports fans who, by attending our basketball games, encourage us to try to win. The Grange has been very co-operative in lending us chairs and foot lights for our activities. To them we give sincere thanks. Naturally, our biggest thanks go to our parents, who have helped us and have given us the courage to complete four years of high school. In conclusion, we want to thank all the people who have helped in any way to support Woodstock High School, thereby enabling other students to graduate from our school.

SENIOR CLASS TRIP The Senior Class, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Philip Bolen as chaperons, left Bryant Pond on Saturday, April 18, at six o'clock in the morning and arrived in New York about three-thirty that afternoon. We unpacked, while Mr. and Mrs. Bolen went to White Plains to leave the cars. When they returned at seven we went to Radio City Music Hall to see Green Mansions and the Rockettes. Sunday, we left at 9 A. M. to go to Chinatown. In the afternoon we visited the Statue of Liberty, and in the evening we went to the top of the Empire State Building. Monday, the girls watched the TV program, Concentration , while the boys went to see Tic Tac Dough. We also visited Rockefeller Center, the National Museum, Haggis Baggis , and in the evening we attended a movie. Tuesday, we spent the day in the United Nations Building, and in the evening we went to the Gary Moore Show, where we saw some stu- dents from South Paris. On our free day, Wednesday, most of the girls went shopping and bought dresses alike. Thursday, we started home at 8 A.M. and arrived in Bryant Pond at 7 P. M. We all had a wonderful time, and we would like to thank Mr and Mrs. Bolen for being our chaperons.

The girls handicapped the boys with boots, skirts, baseball equipment, and ropes. The proceeds went to our athletic fund. Saturday, the carnival events were run off on Oak Hill, with Mr. Joe Farnum acting as judge. These events included toboggan races, skiing, cross cut, and snowshoe races. The prizes won by the students were donated by the townspeople and the businessmen of this and near-by towns. The carnival ball Saturday evening was well attended. The queen candidates this year were Dorothy Bean, Christine Berry, Hazel Crocker, Evon Gerrish, Hilda Henley, and Lena LaValley: their attendants, Gilbert Dunham, Maynard Harlow, Jesse Pierce, Kenneth Roberts, and Larry Whitman. During the cere- monies, Susan Smith substituted for Hilda Henley, who was ill. To the music of Ruth Fournier's orchestra, in marched the 1958 king and queen, Herbert Hatfield and Leatrice Farnum Chase, followed by the attendants of the king and queen; the flower girl, Mary Ellen Andrews, and her attendant, Clay Andrews; and the 1959 king and queen, Alan Farrington and Evon Gerrish.

PUBLIC SPEAKING We started our public speaking season with the following people participating: Charles McAllister, Gertrude Smith, Lena LaValley, Linda Waterhouse, Patricia Davis, and Richard Farwell. The speakers are required to speak in public twice each year for two years before they receive their letters. Richard Farwell will receive his letter this year. We had a league meeting in January, at Buckfield, when Linda Waterhouse represented Woodstock in oral reading, and Susan Smith read her original essay. In February, Linda Waterhouse, Patricia Davis, and Richard Farwell went to Canton to compete as a team against Andover, Canton, and West Paris. The next event on our program was the Oxford County competition at South Paris. Those who participated were Charles McAllister, Linda Waterhouse and Lena LaValley. The latter took part in the finals. Our annual prize speaking here was held April 14. The winners, whose names will be engraved on the Alumni Plaque are Lena LaValley, Charles McAllister, and Linda Waterhouse. On April 18, four of our students represented Woodstock in the Maine Speech Festival at the University of Maine: Linda Waterhouse, Serious Prose; Richard Farwell, Public Address; Charles McAllister, Poetry; and Patricia Davis, Hu- morous Prose. Patricia received a rating of excellent. L. L. 'yf TEMPERANCE One day in a year we have set aside as Temperance Day. Temperance is defined as moderation in the use of intoxicating liquor or the habitual moderation in appetites or passions. There are approximately 14. 014, 000 gallons of legal beer consumed in Maine every year. Is this moderation? About 80% of this is consumed in the homes. No wonder children don't want to stay at home. What children want to stay around parents who are drunk and nearly always arguing? When parents drink, it usually has a bad influence on their children. Large numbers of teen-agers appear in court for drunken driving or for illegal possession of beer. There is a law against selling liquor to minors. If the merchant breaks this law, he may be harming the young people by starting them on the road to alcoholism. Liquor is an important cause of broken homes, crimes, and juvenile delinquency. What are we doing about it? Parents still go on drinking, and teen-agers still appear in courts. Is this what you want for your child? We should not only think of temperance on Temperance Day, but we should also practice it throughout the year. Sylvia Cushman '61 JUST LOOKING! There is one type of person with whom a clerk is very familiar. No! No! This one won't do either. It makes me look too old. Now, what I want is a small hat with a little trimming--that is all. It isn't as if I asked you to stop the world. That's what I like--courteous service and very prompt. I had been here a good half hour before I was waited on. It seems to me you would recognize me. After all, I come in here every week to buy a hat or other apparel. The nervous clerk brings a neat little hat. I-I--I'm sure this will look well on you, she stammers. Yes, that is beautiful------Oh, my! Doesn't that look charming on me? My husband would adore it! she gushes. How much does it cost?' The clerk, who has been standing first on one foot and then on the other, replies with an impatient sigh, That will be twenty-five dollars. Shall I wrap it for you? Oh, my gracious, no! I didn't mean to put you to so much trouble, dear, but I just can't buy a hat today. My budget won't allow it. You know, every time I see a new assortment of hats, I get the urge to try them all on-----but I'm just looking. Lena La Valley '59 A HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION I think that one of the most important things a person can do is to get at least a high school education. Most of the students that I know are going through high school merely to get a diploma. In my opinion, this is a very poor attitude. A school is not just a place where a person learns to read and speak correctly and gains knowledge about what happened centuries ago, but it is also a place to meet other people and learn to get along with them. Some students may not be interested in learning about what happened cen- turies ago or how to speak correct English, but I'm sure they will find that they will benefit from these and all of the other subjects and activities that a school offers. Whether a person goes to a large school or a small school, what he learns will depend upon how hard he is willing to work. Some students try to get their work done during the spare periods in school. It may be pos- sible to do this, but they could get much better ranks if they would take some books home and spend an hour or so each night in a quiet room study- ing them. If a student takes an interest in some sport that his school offers, such as basketball or baseball, he will have a chance to travel with his classmates to other schools, to meet the students of these schools, and to participate in good clean contests of skill. Meeting these other students helps to prepare him for the future in whatever profession he might take up; for, in order to be a success in any profession, one must be able to get along with his fellow workers, and the schools teach students just that. No sacrifice is too great when a person is trying to get a high school education;and, if it is at all possible, a college education will be to his ad- vantage. My advice to any student is to finish school and to get the best ranks he possibly can. TROUBLES? Larry Whitman '59 (Sputter, sputter, skip, splat, clunk) Oh, oh, there it goes again! What do you mean, get out and fix it? We're in the snowbank. Besides, I forgot my axe and I can't break through my breath. Boy, it's cold here! Well, my heater would work if you hadn't broken the switch. What am I doing? I'm winding the window down to let in some warm air. . .I'm climbing out the window. Help! I'm stuck! Well, don't just sit there. PUSH......What do you mean, you can't move?........... I told you not to touch that cold metal. (Oops--plop) I made it! No, I'm not clumsy. The wind blew me against the car. No, it wouldn't have hurt if it hadn't been for the door handle. Give me my knife; the hood's frozen down.......I'll get my shovel and dig you out.....Oh, quit the yak! I can't hear a word of it. .Stop worrying about getting home on time . Just worry about getting home. No, that's not a glass of wine. That's my fuel bowl. Go ahead and drink it, if you don't believe me. . .No, that's not a hula hoop; That's my heater hose..........Would you stand on the other side to break the wind?......Oh, that's my oil filter. Yes, it's a thinking man's filter. I'm dure the trouble's not in my headlight. No it's not in my radio, either. There, I'll try it now. (Grind-grind--purr-r-r) Finally! Oh-oh, now my shovel's buried. It's snowing like-what? Oh, I've found it. Don't run off. I'll have us out of here in no time.......What! You can't find the car! Where are you? I'll put my lights on. . . .Now, how did you get stuck? Of course, there's a snowbank there.......There! Now, let's go. . . How do I travel this road every day? Well, I don't usually have you with me ! Burton Cole '60 AN UNNECESSARY ADVENTURE It was three o'clock in the afternoon and school was nearly over. Dickie sat in his seat dreaming about the Boy Scout meeting Alan and he were going to attend that night. His dream was interrupted by the bell, and grabbing his books, he ran out the swinging door. Walking slowly home, Dickie passed along the poorer section of Liberal Street. The gray, drab houses were slowly sagging toward the ground. The people who occupied these houses seldom worked. They ate what they found, which wasn't much. Then, as if entering a new world, Dickie came to the better part of Lib- eral Street. Nice freshly-painted houses, with brightly-blooming flowers growing beside the walks, made this part of town look much more attractive. His house was in sight now, so he started running. He ran up the cement walk and rushed through the doorway, shouting for something to eat. After eating his supper and getting the approval of both his parents, Dickie left for the meeting. Remembering what his father had said about lingering on the streets at night, Dickie lightly skipped on his way, turning back once in a while to see if anything was following, or stopping dead still at the chirp of a cricket. Arriving at the meeting, he found a room full of laughing, talkative boys. The two hours of fun seemed to go fast, and at 9:00 o'clock he was again walking the lonely street. It can't be! Dickie gasped to himself, as he came upon a limp body ly- ing in the street. I must be seeing things. It's Fred! Why would anyone want to hurt Fred? After a moment's hesitation, he carefully dragged the body under an elm tree, and nervously ran for home. The next morning when Dickie went downstairs to breakfast, there on the table lay the morning paper. Boy Fatally Beaten stood out in big black let- ters. Dickie's eyes left the paper to look at his mother. Both his parents stood by the table looking down at him. Dickie shook his head unconsciously and ate his breakfast in silence. In school that morning everyone was talking about Freddie. Dickie didn't know what to say. He felt guilty about the whole business, and knew that he should report it to the police. To escape from the horrible situation that was getting too big for him, he decided the best thing to do was to run away. At recess time, he slipped down the corridor and out of the school house. Not knowing anyone near there, he struck off down the road. He walked a long time, and soon it was getting dark. He had passed many houses, but finally one seemed to appeal to him. He shyly walked up to it and knocked on the door. The door opened slowly; then seeing the worn, tired, little boy, a jolly-looking old woman thrust the door wide open. From the moment he entered, she treated him like her own child. While she was preparing a nice hot meal for him, she began to question him. As Mrs. Velleny couldn't get any answers, she decided to leave him alone and see what would happen. She couldn't keep him off her mind. What would a small boy be doing, walking all alone at that hour of the day? After he ate, he went straight to bed, wondering what his parents were doing at home. The next morning, while they were at the breakfast table, a special bul- lentin flashed over the radio. Attention Everyone! A ten-year-old boy named Dickie Leighton, wearing a red plaid shirt and dungarees, is reported missing. Anyone knowing his whereabouts please call 4-9402. Mrs. Velleny turned slowly to look again at Dickie. The description fitted him perfectly. Dickie lowered his head and said, What am I going to do? She listened sympathetically as he went on, I'm the missing boy. Mrs. Velleny phoned the number that was given on the radio; then Dickie and she waited for the police and his parents to arrive. After an hour's wait, they drove into the yard. Dickie's mother and father explained to him that, because his fingerprints were found on a pen that Freddie had clipped on his pocket, he would have to go to the police station. They thanked Mrs. Velleny for taking good care of Dickie and then left. After Dickie had explained everything to the police officer, the officer picked up a ring from his desk. He said, We found this ring near where Freddie was lying. By inquiring from the storekeepers and the children at school, we found the owner. There were three boys involved, and next month they'll be leaving for the Boys' Reformatory. Dickie couldn't say anything, but he knew that he would never again run away from the police. Louise Martin '60 BABYSITTING Hi, kids! Yes, I'm going to be your babysitter. I know you don't like babysitters, but your mother asked me to come. What do you kids want to do? Watch T.V. ? O. K. Get the program you want.........Look, you can't listen to two programs at the same time. If you're going to argue all night, shut it off! (Silence).....Well, what next? Do I want a milkshake? Sure. Can you fix one?........It's taking you long enough. .. I'll help you. Oh, for heaven's sake, will you quit playing with soap bubbles ?... That's my milkshake? VERY FUNNY! Now, listen, I'll give you ten seconds to get out of this kitchen. Junior! You stop! This living room is not a race track to try out your bicycle on. I'm sick and tired of being flattened to the wall every time I walk through.....(Tinkle--Crash) Oh, Junior! Not your mother's new vase! Don't you have brakes on that thing? You are the most ignorant, exas- perating, nervewrecking kid I ever took care of........(Very sweetly)Well, don't just stand there, dear. PICK IT UP! Why can't you be more like your nice quiet sis.......Linda! (1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10) I know you are very artistic, but your mother's new wallpaper is hardly the place to practice. Now, settle down, kids. How about a nice, quiet story like Cinderella or Tom Thumb? Old-fashioned! What do you mean, old-fashioned? I think they're cute. Oh, you got a new book for Christmas? Well, let me see it. .. Oh, yes, I agree. It’s very short-only 568 pages . Now, let's see, where's the title? Murder at Midnight! Do you realize that I have to walk home in the dark?.........Thank goodness, it’s too late for a story any- way. Now, off to bed.......................................Well, if you can't find your pajamas, keep your clothes on--just GO TO BED! (One jalf hour of silence) Oh, hello, Mrs. Johnson. Did you have a goodtime ?..... Were the kids good? Oh, Mrs. Johnson, they were angels, positive angels. I never took care of better children. . Good night. ( I limp off into the welcome darkness.) Carmen Martin '61 CLASS PROBLEM In class when I get up to speak, The kids all turn to stare. The old floor gives an extra squeak As I stumble over a chair. The room just seems to whirl around. My speech will be a mess! But then, when I again sit down, I know 'twas a success. So when it comes your turn to speak, Please just remember me; And even if the floor does squeak, You'll make it--wait and see! Margie Cox '60 NEVER-LATE LARRY Down the hill with a maddening jerk, There goes Larry in his big Merc, With a cloud of smoke, a glass-shattering chatter. And the hood rattling with a deafening clatter. Around the curve and up the flat, Along speeds Larry, just missing a cat. He speaks not a word but steps on the gas. You know Larry's never late for a class. Into the school yard he streaks like a flash, Jams on the brakes and makes a mad dash, Slamming the door with a very loud crash. He has half a minute to make his first class! Stephen Howe '61 WHO IS HE? It was on a cold and snowy day That I saw him come my way. He was covered with snow from head to foot, And I could tell by the way he looked, That he wanted to come in and stay. As my mother was away, I thought it would be okay, And I brought him food to eat. He did not wipe his feet, But I mopped the water away. He was starved as he could be, And ate all that he could see. Then I let him go- This little dog named Joe- For he wasn't happy with me. Lena LaValley '59 AIR MAIL Over the mountains, over the valleys, Over the ocean blue; Over the treetops, over the buildings The great big airplane flew. Through the clear skies and into the clouds, And on through the storm they flew; The going was rough, and the chances were risky, But they all had a job to do. For the little boys, for the little girls, And for the grownups, too. Onto the airstrip came the big planes, Bringing the mail to you. Rodney Cross '60 A WONDROUS BEAUTY A pine tree is a wondrous thing As it towers toward the sky; The wind drifts through its branches, While the clouds go floating by. It lives on, year after year. And loses ne'er its beauty, It stands there like a sentinel Ready to do its duty. Then maybe on some dreadful day We will sadly see it fall; The wondrous beauty will no longer live As it once did, straight and tall.
