Class History
The History of the Class of 1920
Il was a bright October morning.
The schoolhouse door was open
again after a long vacation. Old
acquaintances were being renewed
and new ones made.
On this particular morning a
class of about one hundred twenty-
five girls and boys entered the
mysterious building, where one
went from room to room by bells,
where one had a different teacher
for each subject, where one was
put in a class of girls and boys he
didn’t know, where one might
lose one’s way frequently, where
one was called green and pointed
out as a Freshie. These boys and
girls were no other than ourselves
for on that particular morning we
were Freshmen of Cony High.
As the days went on we became
more accustomed to the routine at
Cony.
One day a meeting of the Fresh-
men was called to elect a class
president. Clifford Taber received
the office.
Social events were happening,
yet I believe we took no part in
them as a class until Chizzle
Wizzle Fair. Six members from
our class were chosen for the
Freshman Booth Committee. They
were Chairman Clifford Taber,
William Hanks, Alice Stevens,
Irene Goodrich, Bernice Berran,
and Gerald Wardwell. Those who
attended Chizzle Wizzle that year
remember the pretty booth in
blue and white where delicious
home-made candy was sold. The
committee sold the candy in the
balcony in pretty baskets trimmed
with blue and white crepe paper.
Irene Goodrich danced and a
number took part in the chorus.
There was only two members of
our class who made the athletic
teams in their Freshman year.
Clifford Taber played on the Foot-
ball and Baseball teams and
Grosvenor Merrill played on the
baseball team.
Our next class event was “Fresh-
man Presentation.” It has always
been the custom at Cony for the
Freshmen to present a gift to the
school that they may enjoy it
during their years at Cony. Our
class gave a relief of "Alexander’s
Triumphal March into Babylon”
which is now in the assembly hall.
There were six members from our
class chosen to speak on this
occasion. The whole class was
present and marched into the
assembly hall lead by the speakers.
Dr. Thompson was chairman of
the program and furnished much
amusement with his witty intro-
ductions. Louise Fi field, F. Ed-
ward Handy. Francis Faulkner,
and Donald Johnson read selec-
tions on Alexander’s life which they
had composed for the occasion.
Irene Goodrich recited a poem.
“Alexander’s Feast.” Clifford
Taber, our president, presented the
gift to the school making a filling
ending for the evening's program.
As Sophomores, we at first were
very ordinary ones. We thought
YEAR BOOK, 1920

ourselves very learned and digni-
fied since we were no longer
Freshmen. Yet all our assumed
dignity did not prevent us from
having .1 good time and taking
part in Cony’s outside interests.
Clifford Taber and Ted Martin
played football and baseball in
their Sophomore year.
At Chizzle Wizzle our class
was represented in the entertain-
ment the first evening by Irene
Goodrich in a specialty dance with
Alden Merrill and several members
took part in the chorus. The ones
on the booth committee were
Clifford Taber, ('hairman, Norton
Plummer. Louise Fifield, and Irene
Goodrich. Irene Goodrich being
unable to serve on the booth,
Harriet Eastman took her place.
The booth that year was purple
and white with Easter lilies, the
combination making a booth of
exceptional beauty. Flowers were
sold that year and the new idea of
having a grab box originated.
This idea has been followed for
the last two years.
Toward the middle of April we
had a meeting of our class to
select our class pins and rings. A
small pin was decided upon and
two styles of rings, one for the
girls and the other for the boys.
All had the letters C. H. S. and
the figures 1920 on them.
Perhaps it would be well at the
end of this year to mention the
names of those boys and girls who
have gone elsewhere.
Frank Averill enlisted in the
Canadian Forces.
Raymond Ames is working in
this city.
Casper Brann is working in the
Shoe Factory.
George Calzolari is working in
his father’s store.
Frances Colburn is married.
Carroll Creasey is working in
Bath.
Leo Dostie is working in the
Eaton Shoe Factory.
Alfred Glazier enlisted in the
navy.
Ruth Gardner is married.
John MacNally gave his life in
the recent war.
Mildred Jordan is working at
Crossett’s.
Horace Leavitt enlisted in the
Infantry.
George Hildreth is attending
school in Hallowell.
Kathryn Merrill is married.
Lawrence Michaud is working in
Chernowsky’s store.
Harry Murphy enlisted in the
Infantry.
Grace Phillips is working at the
Eaton Shoe Factory.
Burdeau Stevenson is living in
Brunswick.
Clifford Sherwood enlisted in the
navy.
Clifford Taber enlisted in the
Marine Corps.
Archie Taylor is working at
Hume & Newhalls.
Josephine Welsh is working in
the office at C. A. Eaton’s Shoe
Factory.
Harold Lynn is in Lynn, Massa-
chusetts with the General Electric
Company.
Alice Washburn is attending the
Eastport High School.
There are some from the class
of 1920 that cannot be located and
a few others, who through mis-

I think some mention should be
made here of the part our class
took at last year’s graduation. It
has always been the duty of the
Juniors to decorate for graduation
and we did not shirk our duty.
The hall was beautifully decorated
with red and white. Evergreen
boughs, red and white peonies and
syringas were used also. The bal-
cony was decorated with red and
white streamers from post to post
and bunches of evergreen boughs
tied with red and white streamers
at every post. The stage was
banked with evergreen boughs on
both sides. In the center was the
sign 1919 in red peonies with a
background of white peonies. The
syringas were used around the
footlights- Several boys and girls
acted as ushers at the graduation.
So our Jolly Junior Year ended
with the 1919 graduation.
The events of our Senior year
are. no doubt, still fresh in your
mind. Yet, it will do us no harm
to review them again.
The Cony Cue I think should be
mentioned first since it is so much
more successful this year than
last. It has a wider circulation
and is a better paper. Those on
the Editorial Board in our class
are F. Edward Handy, editor in
chief, Vivian Milliken, class editor,
Addison Stiles, business manager,
and Harriet Eastman, alumni edi-
tor. Other members of our class
have helped a great deal by sending
in jokes, stories, and poems to the
Editorial Staff. Some of these
are Edris Folsom, Louise Fi field,
Irene Goodrich, Alice Goodridge,
Charlotte Beggs, Arthur Parrott
and Leo Fox.
This year the largest squad in
the history of Cony came out to
play football. Those who made
the Cony eleven from our number
were Plummer as captain and
Thomas. The squad had a
successful year and won the Central
Maine Championship.
A football dance was given at
the end of the season to get money
to pay for the pictures given to
members of the squad who attend-
ed practice regularly as well as to
celebrate the successful season.
All the boys who were in the squad
were presented with a red sweater
with the white C. The entertain-
ment was furnished by Augusta
citizens. Ice cream and punch
was on sale at intermission. A
number of students from our class
served on the refreshment and
decorating committees.
The basketball season was suc-
cessful and although we did not
win a championship this year we
played good, clean, close games.
Norton Plummer was elected cap-
tain of the team and Addison
Stiles manager. Benn and Thomas
played on the team.
Chizzle Wizzle came again and
this was the last time we should
take part in it as students. On the
12
CONY HIGH SCHOOL
executive committee Addison Stiles
was treasurer. Other members of
the execut ive committee were
Emily Toas, Helen Harris and
Henry Bangs. On the Senior
Booth committee were Norton
Plummer, chairman, Whitney
Thomas, Gerald Herrin, Barbara
Froberger, Marjorie Sterling,
Alice Stevens, Louise Fifield and
Harriet Eastman. The booth was
trimmed prettily in red and white.
Those from our class taking part
in the entertainment were Arthur
Parrott, Henry Bangs and Richard
Benn as end men. Irene Goodrich
took part in a specialty dance,
Alice Goodridge in the dream waltz
and Barbara Froberger sang, “By
the Waters of the Minnie Tonka."
Several girls from the class also
took part in the “Baloon Dance."
Irene Goodrich, Leo Fox, and
Marian Dyer took part in the
play the second night. Chizzle
Wizzle was a success this year as
it always has been and we hope
always will be.
The next affair of interest in
which some of the members of our
class took part was the Bowdoin
League Debate between Portland
and Cony. Louise Fifield and
Vivian Milliken were on the first
team. Although Cony was defeat-
ed she made a good showing in the
debate. Through our instructor
Mrs. Kinne, much interest in de-
bating has been aroused and we
hope that it will continue in future
years.
One of the most enjoyable events
of this year was the party given
by Vivian Milliken at the Blaine
Mansion. The first part of the
evening was spent playing games.
Then ice cream and fancy cakes
were served. An interesting play
read by Governor Milliken and
acted by doll characters was given
during the latter portion of the
evening. It was a “much talked
about" event for the next week.
And now we come to a close for
our Class History is nearly com-
pleted. In a few days we will
graduate and leave Cony. Prob-
ably some of us will be separated,
yet nothing will be more pleasing
to recall than the days we have
spent together at Cony.

Last Will and Testament of the
Class of 1920
Teachers, classmates and friends
of our class of 1920. We are
gathered here for the purpose of
leaving something to those who
will make up the student body of
Cony next year. To leave some-
thing which will be appropriate
and beneficial is, indeed, a task.
Each one of these bequests, I
hope, will be accepted with good
will, and those who receive them,
I trust will make the best use of
them.
1.    First of all, our class presi-
dent, Norton Plummer leaves his
French book, for which he has
gained great affection, to any
member of the class of 1921 who
will cherish it as fondly as he has
and whose rank in French classes
will never excel a mark above
A+, Norton's usual rank.
2.    Leo Fox, another prominent
member of 1920 has consented to
leave to those students who will
continue Geometry next year, his
knowledge of that enchanting sub-
ject, and, I may add, his ability
for teaching it, should no teacher
have been found before next year.
3.    Alice Stevens, after much
persuasion on the part of no one,
has consented to bequeath all the
speed she uses in driving her Ford
to Ruth Turner, so that she may
terrify the traffic “cops," as much
or more than Alice has.
4.    Frances Whitten wills the
memory of her faithful work to
the teachers, and to the student
body as a remembrance and sug-
gestion that they work as earnest-
ly as she has.
5.    Beatrice Benson does will
and bequeath her mode of hair-
dressing and the final “pats" she
gives it before the mirror in the
girls’ dressing room, to the future
Freshmen who must keep in style
with the upper classmen.
6.    To Helen Bachelder does
Lucy Johnson will and bequeath
her love of dancing. Perhaps if
Helen learns to acquit herself as
gracefully as Miss Johnson does
that “Dick" will be more willing
to escort her to a certain dance.
7.    Miss Toas, pardon me,
Emily Toas, has bequeathed a
portion of her excess of popularity
to those who enter C. H. S. next
year, and who may need it to get
as much benefit out of their school
career, especially along the social
lines, as Emily has. Besides this
generous bequest she leaves a
perfectly good Plum(b)er to any
one of the Junior girls whose
broken hearts need mending.
8.    My next will-ee, as I shall
call her, seems to be a puzzle.
Helen Harris has so much to will
to some deserving person that I
gave up in trying to advise her
on this subject. Finally she de-
cided to bequeath her talent as
an after-dinner speaker to Louise
Skene, who, we hope, will profit
YEAR BOOK, 1920
15
by Helen's kindness. Also to
Irene Purinton she leaves the
expression “For the love of Pete,"
with the hope that it will prove
to be as fascinating as she has
found it.
9.    Harriet Eastman, Vivian
Milliken, and Irma Knowlton have
each, all, and jointly willed, each,
all, and every one of their Latin
books to any of the undergraduates
who shall prove themselves worthy
of being called a Latin scholar,
not a mere pupil.
10.    To George Sheldon. Addi-
son Stiles bequeaths his business
affairs; this is probably the largest
bequest which is given, as Addi-
son’s business affairs arc an ex-
tremely heavy burden. Besides
this generous donation he leaves
the suggestion to the Future Class
President of 1921 , that their class
colors be “Lavendar and Gr(e)y.”
11.    Edward Handy, the 1920
scientist, docs give and bequeath
all acids, all apparatus, both broken
and otherwise, all electrical imple-
ments, and all coveted A+’s in
Physics to Donald Trouant, with
the advice that a laboratory assist-
ant must “keep things going.’’
12.    To the students who will
be in Cony next year, Bernice
Berran leaves the pamphlet en-
titled "How and What to Bet on
Baseball Games.’’ (For further
information see Henry Brawn.)
13.    To Margaret Harwood,
Dorothy Kimball bequeaths her
study period seat in Room 9, with
the urgent request that she, Mar-
garet, shall remove all wastepaper
so that "Dick" Benn won’t find
an opportunity to build another
bon fire there, provided that he
should accidentally wander through
the doors of Cony in 1921. Also
to Lila Winslow she leaves a
pencil, lost behind a radiator in
Room 27, with the advice that
Lila should use her best ability as
a "Fisher’’ to obtain it.
14.    Alice Patterson, the hater
of men, in our class of 1920, does
give and bequeath this hatred to
the Freshman girls of 1921. This
will keep them from the many
usual quarrels which are sure to
ensue.
15.    To the future debating
society, Louise Fifield leaves the
proposition that "all animals, Foxes
in particular, should and must
receive kind treatment.” This
should be greatly appreciated by
some members of the 1921 debating
society, as Foxes or a Fox seem to
be their specialty al§o.
16.    Richard or rather "Dick”
Benn does give and bequeath all
remainders of chewing gum, salted
peanuts, I mean stolen salted
peanuts to "Fat” Hunnewell, also
the bags in which they were
contained, provided that any of
the said bags are still in existence.
To Burleigh Boyd docs Dick be-
queath the privilege of being late
to classes. This should be greatly
appreciated by Mr. Boyd.
17.    To any one of the C. H. S.
students who is transported from
the vicinity of Togusor thereabouts,
does Chester Douglas bequeath
his scat in the electric car which
so kindly never forgets to stop
before the door of Cony High.
18.    To some envious commer-
cial student does Celia Miller
bequeath her adroitness in the
manipulation of her typewriter
l6
CONY HIGH SCHOOL
keys. This is a valuable bequest
for Celia possesses great skill in
this line.
19.    Alice Goodridge, a class
favorite, leaves her place in the
smallest test-tube in the Chemistry
laboratory to the smallest girl who
enters Cony next year; also being
sound of mind and disposition she
bequeaths her place in front of
the mirror in the girls’ coat room
to Marie Simpson, who seems to
covet this popular spot in Cony.
Perhaps with a little persuasion
Alice might be prevailed upon to
will Marie her powder puff too.
20.    Arthur Parrott, 1920 argu-
menter. tennis enthusiast, and gen-
eral favorite wishes to leave his
"Burke’s Conciliation” text-book
to the------ash heap! (Perhaps
some literature loving Sophomore
or Junior would like the book.
Arthur, so please reconsider your
bequest.)
21.    To Mr. Nash. William
Hanks leaves a carefully kept
account of his expenses during his
position as teacher of History at
Cony High School. If this expense
is to be met, I fear the City of
Augusta will find itself in bank-
ruptcy.
22.    To Doris Nicholson, does
Audrey Whitman bequeath her
love of hunting. I’m sure that
the "Chase” interests Doris even
more than it does Audrey, especial-
ly if there are several "Brooks” in
the vicinity.
23.    Gladys Stevens leaves her
love of poetry to Dorothy Regan
and she expresses an (Ernest)
desire that Dorothy will find that
the poem "Gates of Paradise" is
very interesting.
24.    Roy Whitten docs give and
bequeath his extraordinary ideas
with regard to agriculture to some
energetic and desirous person who
will condense these ideas into—
well, say about twenty-five vol-
umes. I think that will contain it
all.
25.    To Margaret Small, Barbara
Froberger leaves the privilege of
sweeping the floor and dusting the
scats in the Assembly Hall, in
preparation for a Glee Club ('on-
cert, providing there shall be such
an organization in Cony next year,
and to the graduating class of
('. H. S. ’20 she bequeaths a
pressing, urgent invitation to her
future concerts given under the
direction of (Herr) Professor
26.    A pleasing personality, a
winning smile, a good student, and
a popular classmate, these are the
memories that Cony High Students
have for Irene Goodrich. To
Dorothy Gray and Mary Boyd she
leaves the honors of Chizzle Wizzlc
dance uses; these young ladies
have proved more than worthy of
the distinction. A Big Ben(n)
she leaves to a certain under-
graduate in the Sophomore class.
27.    James Bedell gives and
bequeaths all his chewing gum to
the waste basket. He might as
well will the janitor several baskets
for said gum. as one will not be
sufficient. To the Freshman
Class of 1921 he leaves his love of
silence, and the motto th.it "Silence
is Golden.”
28.    Gerald Herrin unwilling!}
bequeaths the pleasure of escorting
Cony girls to dances to those lx>\s
who will or already have proved
YEAR BOOK. 1920
themselves proficient in this fas-
cinating art.
29.    \\ hitney Thomas bequeaths
all this year's English recitations
to-----well, anyone who will recite
as often as he has, and to Donald
Brennan he leaves his excessive (?)
boldness I have often wondered
if Don needs an extra supply.
30.    Burton Cross donates his
ability as salesman to the clerks
in Augusta stores. This will
probably prove to be of great
benefit to the merchants of our
city.
31.    Kathleen Sawyer does will
and bequeath all her various
"griefs” to Mr. Gloom; this is
very wise Kathleen as your future
life will probably be happier with-
out them.
32.    Mildred Brown donates her
ideas with regard to "Fashion" to
the sewing class. These ought to
furnish material for work for several
terms. In addition to this gener-
ous bequest, she leaves to the
incoming Senior Class of 1921
her example of dignity and her
ability to laugh at a good joke.
33.    Susie True and Dorothy
Ward do give and bequeath their
cheerful dispositions, and their
gtx>d records along the commercial
lines to the Commercial ('lasses of
1921.
34.    Frances Collins—you will
all remember those days when she
and Marian Dyer sacrificed so
many might-have-been pleasant
recesses to feed hungry mouths—
does give and bequeath her posi-
tion at the lunch counter to
Jeanette Bunker who. we think,
has already "Don”ned the colors.
35.    To Francena Overlock,
Marian Dyer leaves her dance
orders of the year ending in 1920.
This is a “Noble” bequest, as these
orders represent many pleasant
evenings in Marian’s memory.
36.    Our fair Rose. Miss Buckley
by name, feels called upon to
donate something to the various
members of the other classes as
so many bequests are being made
at this time. To Margaret
Merrill and Hilda Bangs she leaves
her desk in Room 27, with all its
engravings and sketches, and the
contents of which may be divided
as the above-mentioned young
ladies may desire. (A word of
explanation may be needed here.
The contents of Rose’s desk include
a comb, powder puff, manicure
set, and a book entitled, "Hints
on How to Manipulate a banjo.”)
Rose’s proficiency in this art has
been manifested at both school
and public affairs.
37.    To those who take Cooking
in the afternoon, Leota Frain leaves
the methods of evading it to go
to the ’"movies” with a forbidden
escort. For further particulars,
I advise you to sec Leota personal-
ly-
38.    Gerald Ward well’s bequest
is exceedingly important as it
represents his favorite pastime
during his sojourn in Cony. He
does give and bequeath all back
Book Reports and English speeches
to the Senior English classes of
1921. "There will be enough”,
he says, "for each division to have
at least one, and if they acquire
my punctuality in complying with
lesson assignments there will never
be any more failures in English
classes.”

COXY HIGH SC HOOL
39.    Marjorie Sterling, star bas-
ketball player, general favorite,
and class “vamp,” does donate,
(we omit the soundness of mind
clause, for it is doubtful if it
would be true), to the Sophomore
girls the art of making eyes, and
a well-tabulated list of the names
of Marjorie's suitors which will
prove to be a good recommendation
of her efficiency in this art.
40.    Margaret Brann docs give
and bequeath her superior knowl-
edge of French to those students
who will wander through its intri-
cate paths next year.
41.    Raymond Libby wishes to
add a mere trifle to this long list
of bequests. First a washtub,
board, and a cake of soap, any-
thing which will enhance the
charms of Monday as a washday.
Being skilled in this art, it seems
a pity for him to abandon it so
early in his career. To Eldon
Gray he leaves his extreme orig-
inality in English speechmaking,
which added to that which Mr.
Gray already has must prove in-
teresting to his audiences next
year.
42.    To Muriel Hayes, who we
hear is interested in automobiles,
though no special make, of course,
does Margaret Reardon kindly
bequeath her knowledge of auto-
mobileography. Margaret’s spe-
cialty in this line is a Studebaker,
so perhaps Muriel will be unin-
terested in the bequest.
43.    Edris Folsom does give and
bequeath all the waste paper in
her desk, all pencil whittlings and
stubs, to the wastebasket. If
these testify as to the amount of
studying which she has done she
must surely be a star pupil.
44.    Harriet Young has been
prevailed upon to donate her
remarkable ideas on the subject of
“Conciliation” to the Freshman
girls, who seem to be having
temporary quarrels with their more
dignified Sophomore, Junior, and
sometimes, though very seldom
Senior admirers.
45.    To some trustworthy, well-
meaning, and worthy person docs
Eleanor Williams bequeath her
responsible position as Librarian.
The successor must be as capable
as Eleanor has been or they will
not make a success of it.
46.    Jcanctta Howell docs give
and bequeath all her wisdom, all
her knowledge, and all her advice
to a certain needy individual of
1921. Let me add, that this
information came to me indirectly,
so perhaps some of you may
know better than I, just what I
mean.
47.    Frances Faulkner has cer-
tainly derived some important
ideas as regards “Votes for
Women." To the debating society
she bequeaths this knowledge and
trusts that some worthy ideas will
be developed into propositions in
favor of the affirmative side.
48.    Last, but far from least, is
Charlotte Beggs. Who would
ever have supposed that senti-
mentality lurked within her latent
nature? A most remarkable and
extraordinary bequest Charlotte
has made. Namely, that she has
vowed to bequeath the remainder
of her life to the task of advising
the lovelorn, should either Louise
or Harriet precede her to the altar.
(Who is he Charlotte?)

49.    To our teachers who faith-
fully have labored to have us gain
an infinetisimal amount of knowl-
edge, which we have done, do we,
the class of 1920, give and freely
bequeath our lasting admiration,
respect and best wishes. We be-
queath to them the classes in
English, Mathematics, History,
Languages and Sciences, and the
knowledge that said classes can
never excel those of 1920.
Perhaps to some of you these
bequests seem singular, but should
any one of this class have given
more, where would he have been
driven as regards the future?

Class Prophecy
Senior Prophecy, 1920
As I was walking down one of
the old alleys in the* lower part of
Augusta, I looked up and found
myself before an old antique shop.
Some of the articles in the window
attracted my attention and I
entered. No one appeared to
wait on me so I began to look
around. Soon I ran across a
huge old book, very ragged and
worn and covered with dust
Across the front was written:
“Keeping Tabs on Cony Grads.”
Of course this interested me and
so I hunted through it to see if
I could gather any information
concerning the (lass of 1920.
Sure enough! Near the back, I
found in huge figures “1920'’ and
beneath. “A bunch of Cony grads,
full of pep. energetic and loyal.
each and every one successful in
later life; a group of students any
school might be proud of. each
excelling in his own particular line
of work and bringing back to
Cony only fame, honor, and
renown.”
Then I read on and on. trans-
fixed, and I am sure it would take
many hours to relate all of the
experiences and happenings there
recorded. Therefore I shall
endeavor to tell you in my own
words the gist of the information
there found.
First I recall seeing Leo Fox’s
name, in connection with some
production company. He first
won his fame in the well-known
play “Three Pills in a Bottle” in
which he had the leading role.
After traveling on the road with
several stock companies he entered
his career in silent drama and was.
at the time of his death, one of the
greatest of motion picture pro-
ducers.
Norton Plummer, who had al-
ways been overburdened with lofty
ideals, went into the hog business.
thereby gaining a snug fortune and
also Emily Toas.
Emily was a famous ballet
dancer but in later life joined
Norton on his hog farm in Missouri
where it was reported that they
lived very harmoniously upon pork
and smelling salts.
This leads me to speak of her
friend Helen Harris, a very famous
actress, who was at the height of
her success when she lead in the
star role of a well-known Parisian
play. While in Paris she eloped
with Ivan Servitchy, a Russian
novelist. At the age of seventy-
five she returned to Augusta.
And here is perhaps one of the
smartest women I ever knew,
Louise Fifield. She was a judge
of the Supreme Court. As a
lawyer she excelled in many ways
and was particularly noted for her
success with divorce and booze
cases. She was cruel, bloodthirsty
and cold, and absolutely without
mercy.
Gerald Herrin became owner of
a sardine factory and traveled all
over the world. While roaming
around in the Dardanella region.
YEAR BOOK. 1920

he became interested in a fair
Turkish damsel. They eloped to
Roumania, and, as he was in-
terested in fish, raised little "Her-
rins."
Leota Frain went away to a
domestic science school anti came
back to marry Roy Whitten.
They bought out Tom Donahue’s
hot dog plant anti Leota made
sandwiches while Roy ran the
business.
Susan True and Alice Patterson
Ixnight out Rand & Stearns' bakery
and carried on the business success-
fully.
Addison Stiles became a verb-
great politician, was a big boss in
New York political ring anti mar-
ried a noted New York dancer
whose early life had been spent in
this locality.
Mildred Brown believed in hard
work, and so took over her father s
business of cutting granite and
making gravestones.
Harriet Young and Frances Col-
lins decided to leave Manchester
and make a name for themselves.
Frances began as a teacher of
physical training and Harriet as a
waitress at a large hotel, but after
seven years of discouragement
went back to Manchester and
reigned as queens and were quite
content.
Oh! Here is a gang of politi-
cians. Audrey Whitman, first
selectwoman of Manchester; Irma
Knowlton, town clerk of Palermo;
Rose Buckley, one of the bosses of
the state; she became so notorious
that many feared her very name.
And Bernice Berran, chief of the
Hallowell Fire Department, who
once when there was a serious
conflagration at the Hallowell
House, saved a rich young man
and later became his wife, he being
no other than the little Harry
Leighton we used to know back
in Cony.
Ah-ha, here is someone you all
must surely know. Vivian Milli-
ken. a lawyer in partnership with
Harriet Eastman. For a short
time she was matron of the
Reformatory for Women in Skow-
hegan and Harriet was a milliner
in the same town, but they soon
tired of this work and left it,
becoming at once popular at the
bar.
Still another of our class, Alice
Goodridge, an able violinist, be-
came very popular playing for the
dances around Augusta, Hallowell
and Togus but later t<x>k up for
a vocation crocheting, living quite
peacefully at home with ‘‘Pom-
pom’’ her poodle dog.
And here is her friend Irene
Goodrich. Irene was a very
reckless young lady, broke all the
speed laws, drank coca colas and
actually played bridge Whist but
as a dancer she made a name for
herself and was exceedingly popular
and was quite a favorite.
Here are some men. wise and
ot henvise that you may know,
Raymond Libby owner of the
Riverside Laundry at Gardiner,
also manager of the Strand Theater
in that same "village.” He drove
a Ford sedan for alxiut forty years
and retired from life with his
cherished Ford.
Reverend William Hanks was a
great reformer. 1 believe went
down in the tropics and tried to
teach the natives a thing or two
24
CONY HIGH SC HOOL
about American Eox Trots and
discovered that the natives put it
all over Douglas’ Orchestra when
it came to jazz music, so he came
back with a band of musicians
and made U. S. sit up and take
notice. He made a vast fortune
at the summer resorts and beaches
with his "ninety noisy niggers.”
Chester Douglas was a pawn
broker and for his lawful and
wedded life, he chose Edris Fol-
som. Chester stayed in New York
while Edris lived back in Maine
and ran his goat farm in Chelsea.
Soon they were divorced because
Chester was in two auto accidents
with another woman, then out of
spite Edris married a bell hop at
the Togus Hotel.
This reminds me of another sad
case, that of Dorothy Kimball
and (Prof.) Edward Handy, profes-
sor of Sciences in Shaw’s Business
College. He was always fond
of watching the heavens and stars.
Well Dorothy wanted to be the
one and only star of the Handy
Universe and because he refused
to acknowledge her as being such
she left him and joined Whitney
Thomas, her chauffeur. It was
reported that they thrived happily
raising prize puppies.
As I recall it, I think Barbara
Froberger first appeared on the
stage as Al Luttringer’s leading
lady, later joined Bob Ott and at
last went abroad and excelled in
Shakespeare’s tragedies. Here
singing brought her great fame as
well as many proposals from foreign
royalty, but proud Barbara spurn-
ed them all for Walter True, buyer
for D. W. Adams. Walter is an
example of a self-made man, began
in the Adam’s establishment as an
errand boy and after sixty years
of faithful toil rose to be head
buyer.
Alice Stevens, who had always
cherished a desire to prove her
belief in individuality, became a
designer of gowns. Her parlors
were swarmed with smart women
demanding new creations. After
several successful years in this
occupation she craftily managed
to ensnare Francis Hill, a well-
known doctor, in her foils. Then
who should enter into their quiet
and peaceful life but ArthurParrott,
janitor of the Country Club. He
had always a weak spot in his
heart for Alice and she left Francis
to become a cook at the club.
Arthur was a popular fellow and
had many influential friends so
they were exceedingly happy to-
gether.
Just a few moments more, do
you know that Marian Dyer, the
novelist, wrote the famous book
"Reminiscences of a Corn-fed
Vamp.” that being the complete
story of her life. She died at
forty years of age and left her six
children in care of Herman Martin,
her lawyer and adviser.
Of course you have all heard of
the famous institution for the
sick and -----feeble minded. In
this school no one must be punc-
tual, no brains arc required, etc.,
etc. The founder of this school
was Dick Benn and within its
portals were over 5000 students.
He realized so much money from
this school that he had to sit up
nights thinking of ways of spending
it, and he soon died of mental
exhaustion.
James Bedell was the genial
station agent at Litchfield, while
YEAR BOOK. 1920
his friend Burton Cross was the
minister and coroner of the same
town.
It was reported that Frances
Faulkner led a flaming life in
Paris where she excelled in orig-
inating new modes of hair-dressing.
1 uc\ Johnson was last heard of
as being engaged in moonshining in
the old Kentucky Hills. For years
she had charge of a large dairy farm
and as the proceeds were so
trivial compared to those that she
obtained from selling the products
of her still, she left her dairy
business and engaged for many
years in this business with Gerald
Wardwell.
Margaret Reardon was the agent
for the Studebaker car for twenty
years and succeeded in running
into posts and killing her un-
desirable suitors.
Kathleen Sawyer was jazzing
the country in a Ford, driving
Libby's laundry wagon and was a
very able assistant. Gladys
Stevens took up as a life work
playing the claronet in Professor
Thieme’s famous band at Togus.
Along with her I found Margaret
Brann, a professional accordion
player.
Eleanor Williams was the matron
of the State Hospital for the
Insane in Augusta and spent her
entire life in the institution.
Of course Celia Miller worked in
her father’s store selling peanuts,
popcorn and candy.
Jeanetta Howell and Dorothy
Ward, much to the surprise ot
their friends, went west and estab-
lished themselves on a ranch and
of course married some of those
bad. wild men from the West.
Charlotte Beggs decided to enter
into silent drama, to become lead-
ing lady in the Fox Production
Company. She brought about
the divorce of Leo Fox and his
leading lady (which by the way
was one of the famous cases of
the law firm of ‘‘Eastman and
Milliken,”) Of course Charlotte
then was a shining star.
So engrossed was I in reading
the accounts of my classmates that
I had not observed the entrance
of the proprietor of the store. I
heard someone say in accents
deep, ‘‘Well, Miss Sterling, what
are you doing here? I suppose
you have come to get a write-up
for your famous paper, but you
won’t get any information from
me.”
Evidently the man knew that I
was a reporter for the “Tattler,”
but I did not know him at first,
for he was an old, old, man with
a long gray beard and cane. On
closer observation I recognized
him as our old principal, Fred
Nash. After a chat with him
(which reminded me of our old
confidential talks at Cony, I left
him, satisfied and glad at the
success and happy fate of my dear
old classmates.

To The Class of 1920
How often we have heard the
saying “There is no friend like an
o'd friend.” How many of us, I
wonder, amid all our cares, joys,
and sorrows have ever stopped
really to think of the meaning of
this. It seems to me that we
Seniors can never form freindships
that will ever be so generous as
those that we formed in Cony.
To our friends here, we tell all
our troubles, complain about our
studies, kick about the weather.
borrow anything we want, admire
their sterling qualities and in the
end we say, give me a regular pal
every time. Of course we will
form new friendships for the good
mixer docs that always, but let us
just the same have a thought for
Auld Lang Syne and for those
tried and trusted friends of 1920.

A Model Love Letter
My dear:
Every time I think of you. my
heart flops up and down like a
churn-dasher. Sensations of ex-
quisite joy caper over it like
young goats on a stable roof, and
thrill it like Spanish needles through
a pair of tow linen trousers. As a
gosling swimmeth with delight in
a mud puddle, so swim I in a sea
of glory. Visions of ecstatic
rapture thicker than the hairs of
a blacking brush, and brighter than
the hues of a humming bird’s
pinions, visit me in my slumbers,
and borne on their invisible wings,
your image stands before me, and
I reach out to grasp it like a pointer
snapping at a blue-bottle fly.
W hen I first beheld your angelic
perfections, 1 was bewildered, and
my brain whirled around like a
bumblebee under a glass tumbler.
My eyes stood open like a cellar
door in a country town, and I
lifted up my cars to catch the
silvery accents of your voice. My
tongue refused to wag, and in
silent adoration I drank in the
sweet infection of love as a thirsty
man swalloweth a tumbler of hot
whiskey punch.
Since the light of your face fell
upon my life, I sometimes feel as
if I could lift myself up by my
boot straps to the top of a church
steeple, and pull the bell rope for
singing school.
Day and night you arc in my
thoughts. W hen Aurora, blushing
like a bride, rises from her saffron-
colored couch; when the jay-bird
pipes his tuneful lay in the apple
tree by the spring house; when the
chanticleer’s shrill clarion heralds
the coming morn, when the awaken-
ed pig ariseth from his bed and
grunteth, and gocth for his morn-
ing refreshment; when the drowsy
beetle wheels his droning flight at
YEAR BOOK, 1920
33
sultry noon-tide; and the lowing
herds come home at milking time,
I think of thee and like a piece of
gum elastic, my heart seems
stretched clear across my bosom.
Your hair is like the mane of a
sorrel horse powdered with gold;
and the brass pins skewered thru
your water fall fill me with un-
bounded awe. Your forehead is
smoother than the elbow of an
old coat. Your eyes are glorious
to behold; in their liquid depths I
see legions of little Cupids bathing
like a cohort of ants in an old
army cracker. When their fire
hit me upon my manly breast, it
penetrated my whole anatomy, as
a load of buckshot thru a rotten
apple. Your nose is from a chunk
of Parian marble, and your mouth
is puckered with sweetness.
Nectar lingers on your lips, like
honey on a bear’s paw; and myriads
of unfledged kisses are there, ready
to fly out and light some where,
like bluebirds out of their parents'
nest. Your laugh rings in my
ears like the winged-harp’s strain,
or the bleat of a stray lamb on a
bleak hillside. The dimples on
your cheek are like bowers on
beds of roses, or hollows in cakes
of home-made sugar.
I am dying to fly to thy presence
and pour out the burning eloquence
of my love, as a thrifty house
keeper pours out hot coffee. Away
from you I am as melancholy as a
sick rat.
Sometimes I can hear the June
bugs of despondency buzzing in
my ears, and feel the cold lizard of
despair crawling down my back.
Uncouth fears, like a thousand
minnows, nibble at my spirit; and
my soul is pierced with doubts,
as an old cheese is bored with
skippers.
You arc fairer than a speckled
pullet, sweeter than a Yankee
doughnut fried in sorghum molas-
ses, brighter than the topknot
plumage on a muscovey duck.
You are candy, kisses, raisins,
pound cake, and sweetened toddy
altogether.
If these remarks will enable you
to see the inside of my soul, and
me to win your affections. I shall
be as happy as a woodpecker on a
cherry tree or as a stage-horse in
a green pasture. If you cannot
reciprocate my thrilling passion 1
will pine away like a poisoned
bedbug and fall away from the
flourishing vine of life, an untimely
branch; and in the coming years,
when the shadows grow from the
hills, and the philosophical frog
sings his cheerful evening hymns,
you. happy in another’s love, can
come and drop a tear and-----catch
a cold upon the last resting place
of
Yours affectionately,

Mildred was once a member of the

a change of schools we have had the
pleasure of adding her to our number.
What has been 1919’s loss has truly
been 1920’s gain for Mildred is one of
the most popular girls al Cony. Cer-
tainly if she carries out her intention of
becoming a school ma’am we shall all

“Bill” was once a commercial but

never went out for athletics he was a
regular patron of all school activities.
Il also has been rumored that he was
a member of the Cony Painter’s Union.
He also has maintained a lively interest
in the Prcshrnan class this year. We
earnestly hope that if he goes to a
higher school or if he enters the business
world he will achieve success.

also a very line companion. You must
judge the rest from the list of activities
above. Irene began al Cony four years
ago, and has since continued a valuable
member of the Class of 1920. Don’t
be misled by the word “vamp” in the above jingle because it is not character-

We are fully convinced that Vivian

along the “ ’lis and ’taint” lines because
Vivian can do it scientifically being a
debater of the first magnitude. She has
also been known to speak on suffrage
and to champion the cause of the poor
down-trodden woman. Cony’s loss in
this case is Bates College’s gain, and it
is safe to predict that four years from

has at different times displayed her
ability as a student, however believing
a scholarly attitude unbecoming she
suddenly dropped it. Nevertheless her
poetry recitations have been the joy
of the English class. The fact that she
wishes to become a teacher seems rather
out of keeping with the first sentence
of this paragraph. But Cupid may not
have done his work very thoroughly
