Woodstock High School - Eureka Yearbook (Bryant Pond, ME)

Text from Pages 1 - 66 of the 1960 volume:

EUREKA We, the students of Woodstock High School, dedicate the Eureka of I960 to Mr. Waldron Fernald In appreciation of his past two years' I I I I I faithful service as our principal. I Boys 1 State To my good fortune, I was chosen representative to Dirigo Boys' State from the Jackson Silver Post, American Legion, in Locke Mills. This is an annual event which is held on the University of Maine Campus at Orono. Last year's date was June 14-19. At Boys' State, our primary business was to study government: state, county, and local. During the first three days, most of our time was spent in classes, leaving about three hours a day for leisure. To- ward the middle of the week, however, we had some relief. We had guest day and the late Governor Claus on spoke. For our feast we had fried chicken and other such goodies. The governor's speech was broadcast over the radio. We had a party that night, and all the towns took part in a stunt night the following evening. We had a great Boys' State band and a good pick-up group also. We were divided into eight towns, each town occupying a dormitory floor. Each day we had room inspection. Later on in the day we had a test on the preceding day's instructions on government. A flag raising was scheduled for each morning, but due to the soggy weather, we only had one. We also had a daily newspaper. On the last day we toured the campus before graduation. Of course, as in any group, there was a lot of comedy and fooling. Each night we were charmed to sleep by tapping water pipes and our meetings were largely joke sessions. Although it was a serious affair, we all had a very enjoyable time. I wish to thank those who had a hand in sending me. Thank you Burton Cole NEED FOR EDUCATION TODAY Years ago when some of our parents were young and in school it was thought that if they finished grammar school it was all that was necessary. For a priviledged few there was the opportunity of a high school education as well. Not many of the young people, especially the boys figured that they would need anything more than the basic teachings in grammar school. Today those same people are singing a quite different tune. They found out that the good jobs, where a fellow can earn a good living with- out working so hard, are being taken by people with a high school educa- tion or better. The student today who gets the urge to quit school for some foolish reason; like, earning money enough for a better car, doesn't realize that if he does quit what a rough time he will have in life. Sure, there are jobs for uneducated people: ditch digging, street sweeping, working in some small factory as a common laborer. But what if in later years you see your friends who stayed in school going on to higher and higher positions, with better pay and lots better working con- ditions? It is at that time you wish you hadn't been so anxious to quit school and go to work. Everyone has enough time to work in his life, with- out rushing things. It is a must for every boy and every girl to complete their high school education. And for anyone who has the intelligence and ambition required to go even further. Some students say, I can't afford to go on to school after I graduate. But today one can't afford not to go. Today with all the scholarships and people interested in helping students, anyone who wants to get the highest possible education bad enough can make it all the way.

So far we've had two sets of books from the State Library. On March 9 we had grab bags, a fish pond, and a fortune telling booth in our room to earn some money. It was a big success and we plan to do it again. During the year we have had discussions in our English class on such topics as What the World Will be Like Fifty Years from Now , and Classroom TV . No world shaking decision was decided upon. We have been working on projects in science having to do with natural resources. These will be put on display at the Science Fair March 11. In Social Studies we've been studying manufacturing. Posters were made to show different types of manufacturing. On February 18 our Junior High Basketball Team played a game with Buckfield which we won. Two previous games were played with West Paris. We won one of them. I.

THE SHOW OFF The sleek looking car came around the bend on the straight smooth stretch of road. The driver, trying to impress his beautiful female companion, suddenly pressed firmly on the accelerator and the car gave a bolt ahead, and roared off down the road. Suddenly the engine sputtered and died out. Now what could be wrong with old Molly, said Bill, I thought I had all the bugs out of her this time. Well, I'd better get out and see what I can do for the little jewel. Maybe you'd better not bother if your going to drive the way you started, said Jan. Oh, don't be a kill-joy, baby, I can handle a car any day, said Bill. We'll have this buggy raring in no time. The young man stepped confidently from the car and went to work checking the possible trouble points. He cleaned up the distributor and put the cap back on. He then disconnected the gas line, checked the fuel pump, blew out the gas line, and cleaned the sludge out of the sediment bulb. Replacing these connections he thought to himself, Sure it will start now. He jumped hopefully into the car, turned on the ignition, and pressed the starter. Nothing happened. He was furious! Jan opened the door and got out. She walked to the front of the car, looked under the hood, and spotted something which, to her, seemed curious. What is that wire for? she asked. Oh, it's just the distributor wire which runs to the coil, Bill answered. Maybe of you wiggled it a little it would make the car start, com- mented Jan. Bill laughed to himself and said, A lot you know about a car! Well, it's worth a try, said Jan. Just to humor her Bill said, O.K. I'll try it. He wiggled the wires as Jan looked on approvingly. He then went to the seat and again turned on the ignition and pressed the starter. The engine gave immediate response and purred like a kitten. This made Bill feel a little bit foolish, but what the heck, he would make up for it by showing her how well he could handle this automobile anyway. With the roar of the engine and the screech of rubber tearing against the pavement the car shot off down the road. He was really showing her the time of her life now. As thay rounded the corner there was a child who had wandered away from the picnic area playing in the road. Bill immediately jammed on the brakes, terror in his eyes and his girl's. The car swerved andwent through the guard rails with a sickening crash, rolled down the rock studded, 300-foot embankment, and into the stream below. Then there was only silence. Rodney Cross '60 Basketball Game Everyone is excited as each basketball game rolls around. The tension within us goes to the nth degree. We play the game with our hearts and when the score has somehow gained on the other side, we are still in spirited moods. The Cheer- leaders cheer us to the near end of their voices. Everyone is excitedly booming as the last few minutes roll around. Probably this is the most important part of the game for everyone. The score often takes a sudden change and only a few more baskets are needed to tie and possibly win the game. The tired and nervous boys sometimes make mistakes, and the voices in the crowd nearly raise the gymnasium. But don't think a basket or the retrieving of a ball doesn't get some cheer, for to hear one's own voice would be impossible. The buzzer rings and in spite of the noise you can hear the boys shouting a cheer for their opponents. This one cheer gives the entire crowd a proud feeling. Winning or losing makes small difference in comparison to the fun and good sportsmanship involved. Marianne Chase Learning to Skate Learning to skate? It's really not hard to do; Just be sure you're padded with a pillow or two. Then you better close your eyes for that first big dash; Oh, brother, what was that deafening crash? So you're unconscious and looking half dead; A hole in the ice, and how is your head? Now don't look so dazed, Pal, we'll do a retake. How about on the ice and not in the lake? Very good! Three minutes and you're still on your feet. Well, what if it is 'cause your ankles meet? Now unbow those legs and straighten those knees, Gee, maybe you should have stuck to skiis ! You're all black and blue even green 'round the gills; Believe me, you've had enough of those spills. If to be a twirling skater should be your hidden dream, Take it from me, friend, it's not as easy as it seems! Beverly Roberts '60 IT'S SPRING AGAIN It'll soon be that time of year again When life begins anew. The plants sprout up through sun-warmed soil. And icy streams again are blue. The sun melts snow from meadows and lakes; Warm breezes sweeten the air. The world will awake from its long night of sleep; Not a soul has a trouble or care. The trill of a thrush on a crystal clear morn. The babble of small winding brooks, The sound of small creatures stirring about. Fills all the crannies and rooks. Grass peeps up from the frozen ground; All turns lush and green. The promise of good things is all around; Spring's the best season I've seen. Carmen Martin '61 MY FRIEND At night when everything is still, And I am all alone, I go out to the old well house, And sit down on a stone. And sometimes when the moon is high A friend comes up to me. And sits with me upon a stone And we have fun, by gee. And as the time goes swiftly by. And I start for the house, I say good-by to my best friend, Which is a little mouse. THE LITTLE MEXICAN I know a boy who really is American, like you. Although his flag is green and red, And not red, white, and blue. He lives a happy, barefoot life In tropic Mexico, Where fields are fenced with plants, And mountains covered with snow. He goes to school, but not like Most little Northern boys. He much prefers a holiday With fireworks and noise. Sylvia Cushman Elisabeth Sumner '61 A Strange Finding One sunny day beside the sea, A little child came up to me. All aglow in his Sunday best. He sat down on a rock to rest. Why are you painting? he suddenly asked, When you're through, will you let me see? But as 1 slowly turned about, The boy just stared at me. All about me the world was dark, Though my canvass showed a perfect park. In awe, the boy couldn't believe his mind: Could it really be true, a painter blind? Pat Davis The Old Abandoned House Over the mountain, set deep in the valley. Stood a house so many years old. Rugged and brave it faced the storms Swept down from the ridges so cold. Broken the timbers, battered the doors, Big holes that let in the rain; Only the apple tree stays as it was. When our ancestors settled in Maine. Long gone is the sound of the axe and the plow; No more wave the long fields of grain. The only thing left to remind us Is a sickle where for years it has lain. The children's laughter has ceased to ring; A deep stillness has settled over all. But when the shadows have fallen just right. You can see them on that old stone wall. It's been many years since I've seen the old hous But I know deep in my soul, All that remains to tell us the story Is an empty cellar-hole. Carmen Martin Have you ever had a poem to write, When your brain was tired and awfully tight? Well, just try it and then you will see, That it's not as easily made as tea. You look out the window to get an idea, But then nothing comes to you - Oh dear! You sit and sit and sigh and sigh, Feeling as though you'd like to die. I wouldn't mind a Book Report, Or things of that kind or sort. But please don't say a poem to write, For I have a double-date tonight. Gertrude Smith ACROSS THE SEA The sun is setting 'ore the sea, While a salty breeze tings the air. The only one left on the beach is me, As I wonder what's over there. The sea gulls' cries are above me; The waves pound the cliffs in reply. Far out blinks a light on a dory; Do they wonder the same as 1? Are there cities of silver palaces? Are there really castles in Spain? Or are those lands across the sea Like the rock-bound coast of Maine? The golden moon is shining bright, Down on the cliffs and me. Only He knows if my dreams are right He shines for them across the sea.
