GLASS ODE
i.
Four happy years have fled quickly by,
It’s now time to bid you adieu.
We’ll sing three cheers for the green and white,
And Alma Mater to you.
For us the glories of future dawn.
The hopes of tomorrow will lead us on.
Chorus:
Classmates of ’22,
Our High School days are over;
Dreams of our years with you
Will always 'round us hover.
Many miles may keep us apart, but
With mem’ries treasured deep in our hearts, we’ll
sing
Good-bye, dear Sanford High,
Schoolmates, good-bye to you.
II.
For character we will always strive.
And not for the glory of fame.
In mem’ry dear shall our motto gleam,
And not let our dreams be in vain.
Bach morn shall see some new task begun,
Bach night will show us a vict’ry won.
Chorus:
We may not meet again
After this voyage together.
For we’ll be sailing then
Wher’eer our ships may venture.
There may be clouds to darken our way.
But the sun will shine when the storm goes away,
So we’ll smile with a courage true,
Spirit of *22.
Words by Ruth Anita Jagger.
Tune: "When Shall We Meet Again.”
VALEDICTORY ADDRESS
Soon the curtain w ill fall on our happy and somewhat care-
free days at Sanford High School, which have heen a pro-
logue to the real play of life. During this period we have learned
the great lesson of teamwork, stored up knowledge, and cemen-
ted bonds of friendship. Now that these days are ended, we are
facing the problems of the future. But let us resolve that, tho
the curtain will rise on a class that is separated and scattered,
it will also he on a class that remains true to its teachings, true
to its friendships, and, above all. true to its motto, “Character,
not Fame.” With this resolution in mind, with a tear for the
past and a smiling heart for the future, we may cheerfully await
the next era of our lives.

VALEDICTORY AND ESSAY—“IMAGINATION AND IDEALS
Imagination and its related power, the ability to create in the
mind ideals, are two of God's great gifts. Without them, man
would still be in a state of barbarism, government be an impossi-
bility and religion, an unknown term. Yet dreamers and ideal-
ists, the men who, by their possession of such tratits in a high
degree, have made possible our present day civilization, have
always experienced the greatest hardships and lhe scorn of
their fellow beings. Probably few of us, too, realize what we
owe this band, representatives of whom have lived at all times;
so let us look back over a few of history's pages that they have
indeed made bright.
Ideals, lhe product of their ambition, living in the hearts
of such mighty heroes as Alexander (he Great, Pericles, Hanni-
bal], Philip of Macedonia, and lhe Geasars, caused comparatively
small race of people to develop into mighty conquering nations;
hut when these nations lost their vision of what was noblest and
best, and became mindful only of material things, those nations
fell. Such was the power of these two gifts, imagination and
the ability to idealize, over lhe strength of empires in ancient
days. This, by heeding these historical examples, we have been
lifted from a state of barbarism.
This bright baud of dreamers have not only marched tri-
uphant over the peole of mighty empires, but they have also
conquered false superstition and the belief in unreal Gods. By
the power of their ideals, I lie real God became so perfect that
they suffered hideous torture rather than give up that which
they visualized in their own hearts as the truth. Inspired and
led on by One who saw the vision of the brotherhood of man in
all its beauty, those of this band suffered so cheerfully and un-
complainingly that the religion of the true God was allowed to
spread and today is our greatest inheritance of history .
Some members of this group of dreamers inspired by the
ideal of freedom and equaltiy of opportunity, could not be satis-
fied until a lasting government had been formed. By instilling
a glorified love for the king into lhe hearts of their country-
men, they created great monarchies which have become per-
manent. Yet a nobler vision opened before (hem, and with
such captains as Patrick Henry, who struck the spark which
stirred his easy going countrymen into a mighty flame by these
inspiring words: “Give me liberty or give me Death,” and Wash-
ington, who once said: “Where no vision is, (be nation cannot
endure,” they formed the republican government of America,
which has not only served as a model for other countries to
build upon, but has become to many foreigners crowding in
from oilier shores “The home of the free.”
Sometimes all these ideals of government and religion seem
to be crystalized in one personality. King Arthur, whose
12
THE YEAR BOOK
dream was of an empire entirely freed from darkness and sin,
fearlessly, so the legend goes, led on his knights of the I able
Round against the forces of evil that threatened his kingdom.
The pure and lofty ideals of one id’ our greatest o fstatesmen
set free four millions of slaves and proved to the world that
the union could not be dissolved. Both these men had those
ideals around whose banner a world of men rallied because one
nation had dared to believe that materialism could take their
place; the same banner for which our brothers died with a smile
upon their lips, but with this prayer and warning:
“Take up your quarrel with the foe!
To you from failing hands we 11) row
The torch. Be yours to hold it high!
If ye break faith with us who die,
Ye shall not sleep, though poppies blow
In Flanders’ Fields.”
Then, too, we find that while some great dreamers have
been building us a civilization, a religion and a government,
others have been creating things for our material comfort and
convenience. By the power of their imagination, they created
our greatest mode of transportation, the railway, a thing which
seemed to unimaginative people preposterous and the vision of
an insane person. On the fourth of August, 1807, a great crowd
of scoffers gathered on the wharves of the Hudson to witness,
as they firmly believed the failure of the Fulton steamboat. But
the Clermont disappointed them, and became the father of all
the great transporters by the sea. Thus did a visionist aid hu-
manity. What does the world not owe to Morse, a member of
this band of idealists who gave to the world its first telegraph;
to Bell, who by his dreams formed the connecting link between
the points of the compass; to Edison, who captured the currents
of the air to illuminate the earth? The world owes it com-
forts, its conveniences and its common luxuries to these men
whom we are pleased to acll inventors, but who are first of all
its dreamers and idealists.
And now, are to sit calmly bark and enjoy the privileges
which this band has accorded us and are still placing before us?
We may not become famous because of our dreams and ideals,
but it is a splendid thing to dream when we have the grit and
tenacity of purpose and the resolution Io match our dreams with
realities. It is only practical dreaming that counts—dreaming
coupled with the hard work and persistent endeavor.
Thus we make the four principles by which men live more
nearly perfect and more helpful to ourselves. For work, play,
love and worship are but common places if we do not use our
imaginations to picture and make true the highest ideals.
THE YEAR BOOK
13
Work is smoothed and made easy when our ideals arouse
their mighty ally, Ambition, and crown her with a visionary
halo of future success and fame. Play is a mighty necessity
in our lives and in that our imagination and our dreams help us
to forget our work-a-day worries and dwell in peaceful, happy
enjoyment of our hours of recreation. Love and worship are not
possible, in their highest forms unless we idealize them. With
this aid the become the two greatest forces in our lives.
If we hul use these gifts in our every day existence we may
become rich in the good things of life, and we may help to
make this world a heller and happier one by recruiting in the
great army of dreamers and idealists that have marched thru
every generation.. Then may we say with truth:
“The Golden Age lies onward, not behind.
The pathway thru the past has led us up,
The pathway thru the future will lead us on,
And higher.”

SALUTATORY
Parents and friends, we, the Class of 1922, take great pleas-
ure in extending Io you a most hearty welcome, to these, our
graduation exercises. II it with a mixture of joy and sorrow
that we arc gathered here tonight; joy because we have had the
opportunity of working and playing together for the last four
years; sorrow because we shall never again be students of
Sanford High School. For us who think seriously of our motto,
“Character, not Fame,” I he future holds much of strenuous en-
deavor and difficult work, because we understand that character
building is much more important than the mere accuring of
fame; but we face the future fearlessly, realizing that the best
preparation that we could possibly have with which toaccom-
plish our tasks, is the period of work and comradeship just
passed. We feel that tonight is the turning point, of our lives;
the end of our school days and the beginning of a new era of
achievement. These exercises mark the commencement of our
work, and we are very glad Io welcome Io them, you who
have done so much Tn making our school life possible.
ESSAY—“ HIE POWER OF A PURPOSE ”
The hidden spring of achievement is a purpose, ami
achievement is the mother of success. It is the definite goal
that impels a man to give the best there is in him to his chosen
work. It was the light of a definite purpose, shining down thru
the darkness of unknown years that made Tennyson write:
14
THE YEAR BOOK
“0 young Mariner,
Down to the haven
Call your companions,
Launch your vessel.
And spread your canvas
And, ere it vanishes
Over the margin
After it, follow it,
Follow the Gleam.”
A master inspiration is a prime necessity to the one who
starts out determined to gain success. Failures are often due
to the lark of a great outstanding aim and the will power to
work hard enough to attain it. A man known in all parts of
America because of his success in business was asked the secret
of his great achievement. He said: “I ha d a definite purpose
in mind. I set to work to carry it out and I did.” How many
people, I wonder become successful without a goal to urge them
on to higher things!
Purposes may be campared to the Golden Fleece of an-
cient days, and the people inspired by them to Jason. Picture
Jason, a royal prince of Greece, surrounded by the highest cul-
ture and luxury that his time afforded, yet determined to win
from the usurper, King Pelias, his father’s kingdom of lolchos.
When Jason came into the royal presence, he was immediately
recognized as the youth, who, the oracles, had prophesied, would
deprive Pelias of his stolen land. So the tyrant sent Jason on
Hie most dangerous enterprise of Hie world, the quest of the
Golden Fleece, the securing of which would give back to him
his father’s kingdom. Needless to say, Jason went thru many
terrifying experiences in his journey. First, he had to travel
across the land of hugh giants, many of whom he had Io de-
feat before he could proceed with his journey: then he encount-
ered terrible witches each more terrible than the last; again
his very life was in danger because of a flock of birds with
deadly steel-headed arrows for wings; and last of all, he had to
overcome a most horrible dragon. In spite of all these hinder-
ances, Jason won the Golden Fleece and became the lawful king
of lolchas. We, who wish for success, must be Jasons, with a
definite purpose as our Golden Fleece and the triumph of attain-
ment as our right-ful kingdom.
A purpose is a power in itself, but it is not strong enough
alone so it nyist have helpers. Patience, a loyalty to principle,
and faith in one’s ability, are the outstanding co-workers with
purpose in developing character. James Russell Lowell, our
well-known American poet, has written, some verses in which
the importance of these three characteristics is shown. In the
Shepherd of King Admetus, a youth came upon the earth thou-
sands of years ago, and because of his hands were frail he could
THE YE AB BOOK
15
do no manual labor. Instead he took an empty tortoise shell
and stretching some chords upon it. made such music that at the
sound men became fearless, or wept because of tender memor-
ies. King Admetus hearing him, said his music was worthy of
bring heard at the feasts, but as his only reward made him
master over his sheep. Nothing daunted at his humble position,
the youth still continued making his wonderful music and the
words that seemed in others people’s mouths rough and un-
couth, in his seemed musical and low. Men called him shift-
less because he seemed not to work as did others, but neverthe-
less, they, perhaps unwillingly, obeyed his words. Yet, because
he was loyal to what he knew to be true, he paid no attention
Io popular eriticism. No one knew how he learned, for he would
sit for hours and watch the dead leaves blow or muse on com-
mon things.
There was nothing so lowly that in it he did not find some
beauty. People agreed I hat his speech was wise, and yet they
laughed al and mocked him. Nevertheless, because of his loyal-
ty to principle, and his faith in his own power to do what he
had been sent to do, he patiently bore the scorn of his fellow-
men.
“And after lit* was dead and gone,
And e'en his memory dim.
Earth seemed more sweet to live upon.
More full of love because of him.”
All illustrations of the power of a purpose need not be
drawn from literature, however, for our every-day life offers
many of them. 'There is the student at school, who, striving
for a definite goal and disregarding all minor things, al last
reaches it. 'There is the successful business man. who began at
the bottom of the ladder, but, who, led on by an ever-inspiring
purpose, has at last reached the lop. There is the scientist, who
has perhaps labored year after year in vain, but with the defi-
nite aim in mind, the betterment of mankind, keeps unwearingly
at his (ask. Then, all honor .also, to the men lately returned
from Erance, many of whom with the still not undermined pur-
pose of supporting their families and regaining their positions
as useful citizens of the United States, toil on in spite of maimed
bodies and hurt souls.
Surely none of these had the putting off habit which
creates a luke-warm purpose. Procrastination will kill the
strongest initiative. It is much easier Io accomplish an aim
when it is fresh in our mind than to defer it until it recedes
and finally fades away. 'Theodore Roosevelt will go down in
history as a great man.. Why? Because he immediately gave
himself to the task before him with all the energy that he could
muster. There were no half-hearted efforts for him.
16
THE YEAR BOOK
To a class about to graduate from high school, a fixed pur-
pose should he one of tire greatest powers for good. Graduates
of 1922 with the noble purpose of building character and not
mere transitory fame, are taking with them the richest heritage
that school life can give. If this purpose does not become luke-
warm, or if we do not lose sight of it altogether in the struggles
with which we will now have to contend, we may reasonably
hope for success, for:
“There is no chance, no destiny, no fate,
Can circumvent or hinder, or control
The firm reserve of a determined soul.”
—Ethel Burnham Fuller.
PROLOGUE
Parents and friends. The Class of 1922 wishes you a most
cordial welcome to the exercises of the evening. Those of you
who have had experiences similar to ours of the last torn* years,
know the feeling that is within each one of us, that feeling of
kinship which has grown with us and has made the trial or joy
of any one of us the trial or joy of us all. Because of this
good fellowship, we have sei aside this evening to recall some
of the happy limes we have had together. Even I ho some of our
jokes may seem far-fetched, Io those who are not intimate with
members of the class, please believe that those things retold
here, are of vital importance to us ami have done much to shape
I he times of enjoyment we have spent together.
Before I introduce I he speakers of the evening, I wish to
extend to the faculty of Sanford High School our sincerest
gratitude for all that they have done for us. We hope as we
recall the past that they will remember only the best of what
we have been and have tried to do.
Mr. Theodore Clarke, our historian, will relate some of the
incidents that have occurred during the last four years. We
have given Teddie this honor because of his peculiar fondness
for dates. Oh, do not misunderstand me! ’As far as I have been
able to ascertain thru very careful investigation, the only kind
of dates that he has ever been really interested in during his
high school career, has been the kind between the covers of his
history book.
Our orator. Merlon Low, known to the class as “Jakie,” has
won for himself much dislinclion as a speaker. Long ago one
of our silver tongued orators made famous a line “Give me
Liberty or Give Me Death!” which our brilliant talker has
changed to “Give me Colby, or Give Me No One.”
What a shy demure little “Miss” our prophet, Helen Belle
Hobbs is! By her predictions, however, we shall see that tho
THE YEAH HOOK
17
her eyes are downcast, nothing escapes her notice. A chorus
of an old song seems to describe Belle perfectly:
“Now Sweet Babette,
She always did the minuet
Just like her dear old grandma used Io do.
Now Sweet Babette,
She was her mother's darling pet.
She glided by with drooping eye
A modest shy Babette.
But when the boys came round,
Her fret they scarcely touched the ground,
For oh, she loved Io dance.”
Millon Wilson, endearingly called “Babe” by his friends,
like the famous home-run king, is one of the most popular men
of his day. I am sure that you will agree to this when you
learn that the statistics for girls that he is Io give tonight in
spile of all that he may say, have been gleaned from his own,
personal experiences with the fair sex of ’22.
Because one id’ our classmates has been so busy taking care
of all the children in her neighborhood, we are surprised Io
know that she has been able to learn so much about the boys
of her class. Bulb Bennett will prove by her statistics for boys
that she has not given all her lime to the youngest ones of the
sex.
After having been kidnapped by strange, masked men on a
dark, rainy night, alter trying Io measure all the tallest tele-
phone poles with his Ford, and after escaping many indictments
for manslaughter because of the doses he has concocted for
suffering humanity during his drug store career, George Robert
Andrews, is still alive and tonight will present the Gifts to Girls.
It is very filling that Abbie McGombe, who has lately ac-
quired the title of the village vamp, should present gifts to
boys. Until lately she has practiced her arts in Springvale. The
fiery darts of her gleaming eyes have so wounded Edward
Gauthier that even Johnson's liniment, a world famous cure for
all kinds of bruises, can not help him.
One of the last, sad, solemn riles of every graduating class
is the distribution of the worldy goods, stored up individually
and collectively during the four years.
Great care was exercised to secure the most responsible,
most trustworthy, most serious, most solemn, most dignified and
most ministerial hoy for this office and Io Donald Wilson has
fallen the lengthy task of reading the Glass Will.
Now you have heard something about each of lhe speakers
of lhe (‘veiling. 1 fear that I have not told so much about them
as they will disclose about us. But everything that is related
tonight is (old in the spirit of fun just to show you how happy
have been our four years at Sanford High School.
—ALICE BREAREY.

THE YEAH BOOK
CLASS HISTOBV
As the honor of giving the history of the Class of 1922 has
been placed upon me I have brought with me tonight a Mem
book which 1 have kepi during my high school course. Perhaps
from that 1 can refresh my memory if it becomes delinquent as
I retell to you some of the incidents mid events that have helped
to make up our high school life.
Naturally first conies a list of our freshmen officers:
President: Isreal Cook.
Vice President: Ralph Wiggin.
Secretary: Ray Long.
Treasurer: Lawrence Hayes.
Well do I remember, that upon the third of September,
1918, with much trepidation and trembling on the part of its
members, the largest class that ever mitered Sanford High
School became freshmen. Al our first mass meeting, Miss Ethel
Armstrong was chosen class advisor Io lead us up in the paths of
righteousness, if such a tiling were possible.
What is this? It looks like a sheet advertising a sale al
John’s Bargain Basement; bid no, it is a program for our fresh-
men operetta. It was al Illis affair the we, as freshmen, showed
what ability we had, and did not have, in the musical line. This
class has the honor of being the first in Sanford High School to
give a play or operetta its first year.
Here also is an account of our first, last and only sleighride
in our high school career. This was held at Lillie River Falls
ju the sixteenth of January . When we arrived al our destina-
tion a hot oyster stew was prepared. Dancing until a late hour
followed the refreshments. Tin* return trip was quieter than
usual as people strangely to say, seemed to want Io converse in
couples. II was noticed tho, that upon (he return trip Ralph
Wiggin seemed to like Io walk; but we doubt if he would have, if
he had known his ENGLISH as he does now.
You can see what gay and jovial people the class of ’22 were
this winter; for here are five accounts of parlies and socials.
Nevertheless, it was at these parties that we were able to get
acquainted with other members of this class.
This pen sketch of Ruth Jagger's always made me smile.
It is supposed Io represent our hare and hound chase Io Wild
Gat Rock. So weird were the ghost stories told around the
campfire there, after supper, that the younger members of this
class traveled home thru the woods afterwards with much tre-
pidation.
What is this picture? It has the appearance of bring a
band wagon of the Barnum & Bailey’s circus; bid no, it a Yuill
ix Stiles jitney loaded with freshmen going Io Wells Brach on
their first picinic.
With this event our first year was closed. Now we put
THE YEAH BOOK
19
away our freshmen tricks and had the usual dignity of Sopho-
mores.
We must have worked much harder this year as there are
very few souvenirs in my mem book, although I well remem-
ber our hare and hound chase to Devil’s Den and the house
party that marked the close of Hie Sophomore year. This
latter was the most enjoyable event of all.
Although some chose to go to Wells Beach the real and
original house party was held al Long Pond. At this party “Pud”
W ilson and “Jakey” Low showed their ability in borrowing
cake. Although anything borrowed, is supposed to be returned,
it was found impossible to return this cake after the fellows
had seen it. Another raid upon the girls’ kitchen was found to
be food less. Therefore, all of Hie boys except two, were dis-
couraged and returned to Sanford before the house party offi-
cially closed.
During this year our freshman president and secretary
were chosen to serve another term. Donald Wilson was elected
Vice-president while Merlon Low served as treasurer. Miss
Mary Ann Eoss of Bingham, Me., was chosen class advisor to
fill Hie vacancy left by Miss Armstrong.
Our Junior year opened very quietly with the usual election
of officers, who were as follows:
President: Merlon Low.
Vice president : George Andrews.
Secretary: Abbie Straw.
Treasurer: Ethel Fuller.
The records showed that 40 dropped out during Hie first two
years but we are ready to undertake our third years’ work with
77 members.
This calling card has so much printed matter upon it that
I can scarcely discern the name. Oh, yes, it is Thomas Clou-
tier’s. In the lower left hand corner is printed: “Manager of
Class of 1922 Basketbal Telam.” This recalled to me me the
days of that basketball team was noted, not only for the
games it played, but for Hie Manager as well. We all know that
the team could not possibly been so successful if Tom had not
been Manager.
Alas, here is an account that mars our while history. It is
the kidnapping of three of our members by the O. T. P. This
without doubt, was the meanest trick played upon any of our
members during our high school career. Upon a dark and
stormy night after one of our class socials, George Andrews,
Merton Hew’ett and Bay Long were taken, in their best clothes,
about eight miles from Sanford and left to walk home in the
rain. Although the idea of a trick like this is not at all bad, it
should have been done on a clear night or umbrellas should
have been left for the use of the victims.

THE YEAR BOOK
I
Aha! A bill of $.99 due from certain members of this class
for spark plugs used in Walter Mack's rar at the Junior House
Party at Wells Beach. It seems that there must be another bill
dm* from this class for powder found in Thomas Cloutier's
hair. Although we knew’ that he had cultivated some habits of
women, we were surprised to learn that he had cultivated this
one so soon. Of course, he might not have pul it there himself
but if he didn’t, WHO did?
As is usual with Seniors, the class of ’22 have become more
dignified and have carried their share of school activities with
more responsibility than during years before.
Much credit is dur our class officers: President, Ralph
Wiggin; Vice-president: Walter Mack; Secretary: Abbie Straw;
Treasurer: Ethel Fuller, for their fine work during the Senior
year.
The scarab or Egyptian beetle drawn upon this page was
the cause of all our trouble in the class play. “The Hoodoo."
This picture contains Professor Spigot with his little Hemachus;
Aunt Paradise, the colored cook; little angel child. Angelina;
pretty little Lulu and dear old Uncle Malachi. All these were
in the cast, ami with the others helped Io stage a play that was
a credit to the class and the coach.
Who are these funny looking creatures? Why, they are
Seniors on Senior freak day. .Yearly every member of I he class
entered into the spirit of the occasion and came to school in
some ludicrous costume. We took for granted that those who
didn’t thought themselves humorous enough as they usually
are.
Here is the story of the “Other Wise Man,'' the selection
given by Alice Brearey who won our Local Speaking Contest
and represented the school and class so well at the county con-
est held al North Berw ick.
This reminds me also that we have an essayist of no small
fame among our number, Miss Helen Belle Hobbs, who secured
the prize offered by the American Legion of Sanford for the best
essay on Americanism.
It is fitting Io pause here before I close this history Io
give thanks as a class Io our advisor. Miss Mary Ann Foss, who
K 7 •
has toiled for I hr last three years for our benefit without any
reward other than our grateful appreciation.
Altho our history has not been thrilling or filled with ex-
traordinary events, it is the simple one of a class that seeks
“Character rather than Fame.’’ In after years when some have
married and some have tarried, we shall remember the days
W’hen we were members of the Class of 1922, and dear old
Sanford High School.

CLASS ORATION
INTERNATIONALISM
Conditions, both internal and external, determine the poli-
cies of a nation. As a country develops from a mere group of
struggling colonies Io a world power, its attitude toward other
nations, brought about partly by consideration of its own in-
terests and partly by its moral obligations, grows into a definite
plan called it “foreign policy.” The lime has come when America
must change her policy of isolation to one of internationalism.
If we are to maintain our position as the greatest republic of
the world, we can no longer be separated from other nations.
Interpendence of the important countries, and the protection
of weaker ones, are two of the cardinal principles upon which
our modern civic life depends.
Time was whim isolation was necessary for the safety and
growth of the United States and this fact was realized by our
greatest patriots and keenest statesmen. After Washington had
watched the colonies struggle with the Articles of Confedera-
tion, change them for the Constitution and finally enter upon
a period of prosperity, he fell it necessary in his Farewell Ad-
dress Io incorporate the following advice: “The great rule of
conduct for us to observe in regard to foreign nations is, in ex-
tending our commercial relation, to have as little political con-
nection with them as possible.” He strengthened this state-
ment by saying that England had a set of primary interests
which had little or no relation to us; and that therefore, she
must be engaged with frequent quarrels in which, because of
our detached and distant situation, we need have little concern.
Hr recommended liberal intercourse with all, but declared that
it was a great error to calculate upon favours from foreign
nations.
James Madison and Alexander Hamilton who worked with
him in drawing up the items to be discussed in his address, ad-
vised that we should have as little connection us possible with
foreign affairs. Thomas Jefferson's confidence was placed in
the plain people id' America. The national government, the
thought, should confine itself to the management of our deal-
ings with other nations, a comparatively small task that could
he handled by a few public officials. For years, and rightly,
loo, the somewhat unstable government of America carried out
*bis policy of isolation and because of it, was able to form the
strong union of the United Slates. To be sure, for a quarter
of a century after the inauguration of our first President, we
were largely influenced by European policies. Our independ-
ence was acknowledged but not respected. Neither the
French nor the English accorded us the respect due a victorious
and developing nation. But there had been growing a national
22
THE YEAH BOOK
consciousness that gradually condemned any manifestation of
sectionalism as unpatriotic. This new patriotism showed itself
in Secretary Adam’s declaration that we ought not to follow
England’s lead, hut rather assume full and sole responsibility
for the protection of the republics on tin* American continent.
Because of this advice, President Munroe stated his famous
doctrine, announcing the determination of the United States
neither to meddle in European affairs nor to allow the Old World
to have anything to say about conditions in the new. Washing-
ton’s Farewell Address ami the Munroe Doctrine have been the
most popular political principles in our history. As we have
developed from a mere country to a world nation, however, con-
ditions have changed and policies have been outgrown.
According to David Starr .Jordan, the world has grown both
small and great. Thru explorers, unknown parts of the universe
have been opened up to colonization, small races have made
themselves known and the civilized world has increased. But
for all this extension of space, great advances in communica-
tion and transportation have promoted closer connections be-
tween all parts of the world. Because of modern inventions,
distance on land and sea has been decreased and even the
farthest peoples of the earth are closer together than were the
scattered British colonies in the early history of our country.
The world is fast becoming an economic unit because trade
carried on by railway, ariplane and telegraph reaches every
part of the world in a comparatively short time. Whatever in-
fluences one group of people, can, by modern communication
be made known to all of us. Even moral standards are fast
becoming the same throughout all parts of the civilized world. If
we are to be abreast of modern times, we cannot truthfully say
as did Washington, that our detached and distant situation
enables us to remain isolated. As the nations have grown com-
mercially, interdependence in trade has developed also. We may
stand boldly and say “We do not need either the raw products
or the manufactured articles that we now secure from foreign
countries; but we have to, acknowledge, if we are frank, that
much of our material prosperity depends on them. If not, why
was it necessary in 1919, to import 413,000,000 dollars worth of
agricultural products, 78,000,000 dollars worth of silver, and
2.000,000 tons of coal?
The greatest reasons for our more intimate relations with
other nations, however, have been that, in spite of fancied se-
curity, we have been not wholly safe from foreign aggression,
and that our duties to smaller nations demand sometimes even
more political alliances. Our experience since 1944 prove both
these to be true. We cannot say that our distant situation ren-
ders use secure when nations at war are using the airplane and
submarine, unknown when Washington’s advice to the nation
was sound. Aside from our selfish interests, we realize that
THE YEAR BOOK
we cannot stand quietly by and watch small nations like Bel-
gium walked over rough-shod by cowardly empires like Ger-
many. The World War then has definitely shown the im-
possibility of keeping out of world affairs.
Two attempts to create some sort of organized connection
with other great powers have been made since the Armistice,
one the League of Nations and the other the Arms Conf re nee.
Three things, at least, the latter has accomplished; the build-
ing of the way for Arbitration instead of war by the limitation
of Armaments; promised protection to China; the establishment
of more friendly relations with Japan. The representatives
there indicated that internationalism co-operation and free
business intercourse best serve the interests of the nation. Out
of all Ihese different conferences have arisen a spirit of mutual
trust and good will that we may well designate as “Internation-
alism.”
Nations like some men are absolutely afraid to do things in
a .new way. Such stand in the way of individual and civic
progress. America has advanced far since Washington’s words,
“Knowing that the period is not far off when we may choose
war or peace as our interests guided by justice shall counsel,”
fitted the circumstances as a nation. For three years thru a
world at war has been dawning upon the citizens of our country
the truth of the fact that we must have connection with other
nations. We are not isolated and we can no longer fool our-
selves into thinking that we are. With the drterminal ion to
keep this country, commercially and politically, mentally and
morally, awake to its obligations, let us unflinchingly face the
burden of acknowledging and respecting this world feeling
known as “Internationalism.”

PROPHECY
During the year 1932, Ethel Fuller and I were at Rome,
searching for “antiques” for her sixth volume of “Oriental
Curiosities,” the first five of which had already brought her
much fame. Then one day I received a letter from home, stat-
ing that a few members of the class of 1922 had held a reunion
at Sanford, June 20. 1932. This news made us think of our class-
mates, and a few days later we decided to visit Ponsa, a little
island west of Italy, to consult the world's greatest prophetess,
Sybil, concerning the fortunes of our classmates.
After a three hour’s sail we anchored our yacht at Ponsa,
ami hastened to Sybil’s cave. As if by some supernatural force,
at our coming, the foliage changed its color, from a dark purple
to a bright green and then to a dark green. Unearthly shrieks
filed the air and continued for so long that Ethel anl I were
THE YEAR BOOK
seized with fear. Our guide, an Italian youth, encouraged us
to go on until finally we came to Sybil’s cave. He told her (he
purpose of our visit and then retired to an obscure corner.
Thereupon, Sybil mixed up the famous “Witch Brew” chanting:
“Hoc ista sibi
Tempos spectacula poscit.”
and placing it over a crackling fire. Immediately a dense mist
arose, and Sybil said: “Amici vocas videbis,” which is in Eng-
lish, “The friends you name you shall see/*
Instantly the name Florence Batchelder fell from my lips,
and looking into the smoke, I saw her before a class of little
boys and girls. Standing beside her was Marion Hanson. This
must be the kindergarten school which Florence bad started at
her old home on Hanson’s Ridge. And Marie, well, they were
always together in the old days, so, of course, they were now.
Then in succession we called the names of our classmates,
who, as if by magic, appeared in the vapor.
Lillian Ackroyd advanced next, giggling sweetly,
“Dancing to and fro
On the light fantastic toe.”
Lillian was known the world over for her dancing, and, be-
sides, she had captured a New York millionaire. Ethel and 1
were not surprised, for Lillian had possessed rare charms while
at Sanford High.
Elmer Allen appeared next in a fashionable tailor (Taylor)
made suit; and we both noticed that lie looked very happy in
spite of the eight years of married life.
Then we perceived the famous triumvirate, Waller Mack,
Edward Mitchell ami Isreal Cook, who were riding in a new
fashioned carriage. This world famous trio had invented a mo-
tor baby carriage, and, needless to say, were making their for-
tune.
What noise was that? Why surely it couldn’t be—but it
was Theodore Clark, still chanting, “lie ye willing?” He was
now a doctor of fame, but still an old batch, although it was ru-
mored that he preferred Framingham Normal to any other.
Having seen Theodore, made us think of Marion Clark.
“Her voice was but a shadow of a sound,” so imagine our sur-
prise when we heard her crying, “Harry, Harry, Come here!”
And who you do you think appeared? Harry Kimball! Harry
was an excellent musician with a brilliant future, but—
“When once the heart of a young man is stolen
The young man himself will steal after it soon.”
After a fewr seconds’ hush, we heard someone singing
Madelene’s solos in Verdi’s Rigoletto, and Alice Brearey, the
champion heavyweight of the Metropolitan Opera House,greet-
ed us. Alice was one of the youngest opera stars in the coun-

25
try, and had made Sanford a famous place—having her summer
home there.
As in contrast to Alice’s beautiful voice we heard the ejac-
ulation: “Hot dog, hot dog!” and Donald Wilson smiled at us.
He held his beloved Virgil’s Aeneid. from which he translated so
fluently, in one hand, and in the other, his revised advanced Al-
gebra with logarithms completely annihilated from the text
With the few words, “That’s your hard luck,” he disappeared.
Then we perceived a famous picture of Micky, and Ruth
Jagger stood before it with brush in hand. But painting was
only a pleasure now, for
“Her nature was so winsome and breezy
Even time could not wither nor fade,
She had never been fussed or uneasy
For fear she would be an old maid.”
and consequently, Ruth had been one of the first of my class-
mates to marry.
The fire under this magic liquid burned with a new gleam,
which prepared us for the person who came next. It was Ralph
Spence, “Innocent, idle and young!” He had married into a
wealthy family, so why need he worry? To give him credit, I
must say that for three years he had practiced law at Wells
Beach.
Ethel and I heard the words, “Do you take this woman for
your lawful wife?” Then Thomas Mitchell was visible in the
vapor. Thomas was one of those good old-fashioned Baptist
ministers; and I was advancing to congratulate him when he
disappeared.
A bluish red streak was seen in the smoke, and Burton Mc-
Neil made his appearance. He had the handsomest hair —
a shade between henna and Harding blue, which color and dye
he invented himself. Indeed, he had won a name for himself
as a dyer.
The bluish-red tint was replaced by a yellow—a flash of
gold; and the Valedictorian of ’22, Abbie Straw, nodded to us.
“A maid she was of quiet ways,
A student of books and ancient days.”
She was now dean of a girls’ school in the Adirondacks,
where she was loved by all.
We heard I he soft strains of violins, and the three violinists
of ’12, Wilhelmina Meunier, Norman Smith and Lawrence New-
combe, gave us a fine selection from Tarantelle. This trio was
traveling, giving lyceum courses and received applause every-
where.
Then, silently but surely, Helen Denby’s image floated be-
fore us. She was running a beauty shop al Bethel, where it was
rumored her heart had been stolen. Dear old Helen!
“Tis well to be off with the old love
Before you’re on with the new!”

Everything in the eave began to shake, as if some giant
were treading above ns. and Margaret Hardy’s rosy face smiled
at us. Of course, Margaret was married, but previous to tier
marriage she was the woman champion runner in the United
States.
Another smiling face replaced Margaret's: and we recogniz-
ed Lloyd Philpott. Lloyd always believed—
“A little nonsense now and then
Is relished by lhe best of men.”
And now, we did not doubt it in his case, for he

which proved to be Center Harbor.
The smell of new-mown hay filled lhe air which prepared
us to welcome Harlan Shaw, once lhe farmer of our class. But
now, he was lhe greatest poet the world had ever had. He even
excelled Milton, whose poetry hr greatly enjoyed during his S.
H. S. course.
Then a great din filled lhe cave and Tom Cloutier and Nor-
man Stilphen appeared. They were both judges in the Supreme
Court, just where we always thought they should be on account
of their argumentative ability. Both were canvassing for lhe
presidency, and it must be confessed that they were lhe cause
of great parly discussions. We wished them good luck and they
vanished.
We heard someone singing and Dirk Clark greeted us. Dick
had made a fortune in the optical business; and had retired to
his favorite retreat, Pine Street, Springvale. Good luck to you,
Richard!
Hush! Ego, mihi, me, me
Tui, tibi, te, te.
Ah, here is our Latin student. Mary Ferguson, who always
pulled off an A in Latin. So Ethel and I were not surprised to
find that her translation of Homer’s Iliad and Odyssy far sur-
passed that of Pope. We were very glad to hear of her brilliant
success in literature.
In a flash she was gone, and Margaret Fogelstrom tripped
lightly into our midst. Margaret was happy! After hunting ten
years, she had finally found her ■ perfect Alan” who proved Io
be an oriental prince; and they were on their wedding trip
around the world.
“I accuse you! I accuse you of forgery!” Who was that?
Why, Elywyn Mariner, one of the best lawyers in Maine. He
had won many cases, one of them being the answer “Yes” to a
certain question from a young lady. We wished him success and
he bade us farewell.

Click! Click! Glick! Hear that typewriter! There is Ardena
Marsh, our speed typist. Dena had, for two years after her
graduation from Nasson, taught the Remington method in type-
writing; bul since then she has been keeping house with the
Hunt method.
A familiar giggle pierced our ears, and wo beheld Jennie
Nalibow in the magic vapor. Jennie was manager of a vanity
shop and had made a neat little fortune. Ethel asked her about
the “hims” but she only laughed, flashed a diamond and disap-
peared. A whirlwind rush through the cave and Pauline Cooke
spoke to us. Pauline was an assistant in the Sturgeon Bakery
At Sanford. Much to our surprise, she had settled down to cook
muffins and griddle cakes for the rest of her life.
Toot Toot! Ah, that’s a flivver and Elinor Stokes driving.
We always thought that Elinor would some day drive a jitney
between Springvale and Deering Pond, if it were Grant-ed her.
An odor of ether pervaded the air, and a nurse stood before
us. It was Olive Traiton, the head etherizing nurse at Sanford
City Hospital.
The smell of ether was replaced by that of Smith’s cough
drops, and Lillian Libby cried, “Smith’s cough drops for sale!”
Ethel looked perplexed but 1 explained that even at S. H. S. Lil
lian dearly loved the name Smith.
Flip, flop and Doris Howarth flew before our eyes. Doris
was a stenographer with great ability and her wings, why—
“She doth go, she doth go,
See how she doth go,
Swifter than the arrows from the Tartar’s bow.”
A short, snappy laugh attracted our attention, and Doris
Briggs appeared smiling and cheerful. Doris had married a col-
lege professor and was living at a W. M. C. A. building, where
she found new attractions every day.
Powder filled the air, and a sign appeared—Leroy Brown,
Blushing Specialist. Powders of all kinds. At last Leroy hail
found a cure for his perpetual blushing, and was much more
comfortable in the presence of friends.
Behold! Here comes an actress, and it is Pauline Burn-
ham. Pauline had had a difficult row (Rowe) at the beginning
of her high school days. Then a certain “Stone” made her boat
tip, then again in came a hard row (Rowe.) And now, under
the footlights, someone was steering her course safely.
Pauline disappeared and Ida Clark twirled in. While
traveling as a fortune teller in a circus, Ida had met a Stock and
Bond dealer, who fearing a fluctuation, married her at once.
Ida whirled out as quickly as she had appeared, leaving
Ruth Bennett in her place. Ruth had married an agent for the
Moon Motor Company, and now, you know, there are one, two,
three, yes, six, seven little “Moons.” Anyway, Ruth was very
happy. “Je iens, tu viens, il viens!” What person was uttering
28
THE YEAR BOOK
that familiar verb? We had but a few seconds to wait before
Seymour Gate stood before us. Seymour was a professor of
French at Radcliffe—a place and surroundings which he liked
very much. “Je pars, tu pars, il part”—ami he had gone.
Well, here is Laurence Ghadbourne! El Ind and I stood
amazed to see such a change in him. He sedately told us that he
was superintendent of schools in Sanford and his requisite for
high school students was three hours ’home study. We con-
gratulated him him, and he said “Adieu.”
We next saw the ever inseparable Rowe twins. Of course,
we all believe twins should resemble each other; but certainly
one should be tagged for the teacher’s special benfil! They
were now traveling in vaudeville, and always gave their audi-
ences cause for merriment.
We welcomed Mary Sherburne next, speeding in her
“Mitchell” car, of course. Mary would not drive any other kind.
She was staying at their home in Sanford where Henry owned
a large store.
The Mitchell speeded on, leaving a beautiful sail boat in its
place. Alice Shaw was al the rudder, helping a sailor steer.
Around them were twenty guests, who were helping them cele-
brate their I in wedding.
The next person to appear was Ralph Wiggin, now the mas-
ter of English, (who was none other than Katherine) as well
as professor of phychology at Nasson.
Then large, black letters could be seen “The Faith Healers,”
and Waller Perkins and Kenneth Murray stood arm in arm near
us. They had opened an office two years before at Mousam
Lake, where they had healed thousands, among whom were
heart-broken teachers of S. 11. S.
Great prairie plains loomed up before us and Viola Gowen
and Bernice Jellerson advanced, their steeds galloping at high
speed. They had purchased a ranch to show the cowboys that
women could brand cattle as well as vote. Immediately they
galloped out of sight.
We heard someone groan “SuSpence, SuSpence” and Elsie
Libby gazed at us. Elsie found while at S. H. S. that SuSpence
was the vital part of her life, and it was either give her
SuSpence or give her death. Poor thing!
Then Alice Mitchell appeared. Alice was saleswoman for
the Kennedy Cracker Company and as we had expected, she had
settled in the Wells district.
We spoke of Marion Mucci, who appeared immediately.
Marion was governess in Lillian Ackroyd’s home, and found
Lillian harder to manage than the seven little "Lillians.”
Clifford Kershaw rushed in holding a “Springvale Daily”
of which he was the editor. This paper contained information
on every subject—from directions for tatting, to I he cure for a
broken wrist.

Clifford had gone; hid Abbie McCombe advanced manifest-

had been so unhappy. She had had five law suits during the
last year, and, although has won each one, was still discontent-
ed. (), yes, she was married, you know, the rolling pins flew

Doris Johnson interrupted us with her cheery smile. Doris
had undergone a remarkable change. Her black, curly locks had
turned to a silver gray, but she still retained the rosy flush of
youth. Poor Doris! She had been disappointed by so many of
the male sex that she had finally resolved to be a typical old
maid and was spending the remainder of her life at Shaker’s
pond.
Then Winston Jagger came whistling in. He was so noisy!
But suddenly he became frightened and fled, without telling us
tic was president of four railroad companies in the country. We
camie very near calilng him bark; hut then, we sympathized
with him—he was so shy!
Then Leia Forbes smiled up al us. Leia was dressed in the
latest Parisian model, for she was the most fashionable dress-
maker in America. She remained but a few seconds, then van-
ished.
The next person to greet ns was Merlon Low, one of the
greatest orators in the world. He loved to speak about Dickens
and was never al a loss on descriptive paragraphs. Of course,
he was married to one of his ’23 friends, but she had not stopped
his career.
Merlon disappeared and Milton Wilson hustled in. Milton
had prospered perhaps because hr had adopted, since his grad-
uation from Sanford High, the old saying: “Think all you
speak, hut speak not all you think.” Whatever the cause, he
had entered partnership with a Sanford broker where his suc-
cess was immediate.
He hastened out and Eddie Gauthier entered. Financially,
Eddie was a great success, hut hr had been disappointed. His
heart had been unmercifully broken—the work of a wicked lit-
tle classmate—and, as yet. none had appeared to mend it. Bid-
ding us a sad farewell, he departed.
Then Marjorie Jagger glided through the mist, followed by
her husband was a drummer in Sanford Symphony Orches-
tra.
“Even in childhood she had the art
To stir to its depth the schoolboy heart.”
So we were prepared to see two instead of one.
The last to appear w’as George Andrew’s. George was
smiling, as usual, and w’as escorting young “Madam Andrew’s.”
He gave us an introduction to her, but all she could say was

for he sensed a storm and we set sail for Rome.
While sitting in the cabin, for it was very cold outside, Eth-

hours at Sanford High. HELEN BELLE HOBBS.
GIFTS FOR THE GIRLS OF 1922
I went down to Ohl Orchard last week to look the place over.
No doubt you have all been there so you know what I had in
store for me. I visited several scenes of amusement, and after
looking in various moving picture machines, and having had
my fortune told several times, I espied in a far corner the
figures “1922.” These, of course, greatly interested me so I
decided to investigate. I walked up to Hie numerals and dis-
covered under them a long, narrow passage-way, and overhead
the sign, “Walk In.” Curiosity led me inside and immediately
all became dark. At. once (here appeared before me 22 candles
all lighted. They surrounded a box decorated, I discovered,
with our class colors. On the cover I read this inscription, “Re-
move the box without extinguishing the candles arid great joy
will be yours.” I determined to try this seemingly impossible
stunt, and succeeded so well that no candles were put out. Al-
tho the box was heavy I resolved aloud that I would not drop
or lose it until I had an opportunity to look al its contents. No
sooner had I uttered these words when I felt myself sliding
down a long shoot such as is often found at the beaches. When
I reached the bottom I found myself on the floor of my own bed-
room tho how I reached there was a marvel to me. But the box
was still with me. I opened it and found placed just inside the
words, “Present these gifts to the girls of your class on June 22,
1922.” This is the year and the day and I am about to follow
instructions.

GIFTS FOB THE BOVS OF 1922.
It was while walking one day, toward the railroad bridge
which is near my home that a freight train passed by. Now
there is nothing very unusual about a freight train, but this
one attracted my attention because I noticed that in one of the
cars the door was wide open. Just at that moment a box
dropped from Ibis door and landed on the ground a short dis-
tance from me. I ran up to it, ami behold, my name was
written on the box! T recognized it as an order of canned goods
sent me from the Canning Houses of Chicago. I felt rather
vexed with the freight agent for not having notified me of its
arrival other than in this manner. I found that I could not
move the box in either direction and as luck decreed, just then
Dodo Perkins came along in his Reo truck. After much diffi-

1922.” Where (hey came for I know not. hut accompanying this

INTRODUCTION
Twice in my life have I played I he part of a thief, once in
the Senior Class play “The Hoodoo,” and again in the office
of the principal, when I was unobserved by any one. During
my four years in High School, great had been my curiosity con-
cerning what I might gleam about my class mates by reading
a few of the mysterious papers which were kept in the various
files in the office. When the chance came to satisfy my curios-
ity, the temptation was so strong to resist. After searching the
files for a few minutes I came upon the paper that I thought

INTRODUCTION
W hile reading the “New York Times” one evening I noticed
an advertisement lor a young lady to act as stenographer and
clerk in the “New York Employment Agency.” I applied. The
manager interviewed me concerning my previous (‘ducation and
training. Evidently my qualifications satisfied him for he
granted me the position. After beconiing acquainted with the
routine of the office and its force. I was very much pleased
with the position. In my school training 1 never imagined any
office work could he so attractive, so pleasant, so interesting.
Every morning revealed some new channel of work to be ac-
complished before the close of day.
One day my employer informed me that I was to meet all
applicants and Io record their qualifications. This was inter-
esting because I had the opportunity to study the personalites of
the applicants. I recall one case in particular. One morning a
beautiful young lady, whose dollars were counted in millions,
entered my office and asked me to secure for her a travelling
companion between the age of eighteen and Iweny-lwo. I in-
quired as to tin* length of lime for which she wished this com-
panion and in reply she tilted her head a trifle to one side and
opened her mouth piquantly and stammered after some hesi-
tation “I—I want him to be a partner for life if he is satisfac-
tory.” I advertised for a young man looking for such a position.
Almost immediately the waiting-room was crowded with young
mien of all descriptions. I could not interview them all per-
sonally so I told them Io give me a written answer Io the some-
what unusual qualifications this beautiful young maiden de-
manded. Thereby I secured the fidlowing data from thirty-two
adorable and lovable young men:

more money than has any other SENIOR CLASS that has ever

all our just debts, which are few, we do generously and with an
open heart, dispose of our treasury as follows:
We do hereby will and bequeath to the Junior Class the
honored and dignified position as Seniors, on condition that
each and everyone of them equip himself with “Cast Iron Sup-
porters,” in order, that we, the CLASS OF 1922, may be assured
that our dignified position, which we have so gloriously upheld
for the past year, shall be safely borne through the “Storm.”
We do hereby will and bequeath to the "Fair Sex” of the
Class of 1923, the modern, inspiring Romance entitled: "Lawyers
of Sanford and Those I have Known,” written by Miss Margaret
Jordan.

The National Society of Colonial Daughters offered this
year as usual a medal to the student writing the best essay on
patriotic subjects. We print below the two considered the best
of those passed in by members of the junior and senior classes.
THE DUTY OF LOYALTY
Winning Essay
Not long ago I came across a very familiar word which
contains seven letters—ones that in the patriotic mind form a
magic term. I paused to consider the depth of meaning of the
symbol. I tried Io grasp its full significance. Across my mind
flashed a vision, a picture of snow-capped mountains, fertile
valleys, silver streams and great cities. Over it all Old Glory
floated and wrapped, around it protecting folds of Liberty,
Equality and Justice. “America!” My soul thrilled as I whispered
the inspiring name.
As tin* vision emblazoned itself more clearly on my mind, I
immediately thought of the great patriotic duty of loyally. Space
permits me Io write of only two of these duties: loyalty to the
principles of our Constitution and loyalty to the Flag.
One cardinal principle of our Constitution is Equality. This
should lift us above the undue recognition of any class in our
48
THE YEAR BOOK
great democracy. A fine patriotic service may be rendered just
in this point in our life today. Far too many persons in this
free land are si ill in the bondage of deference shown to posi-
tion ami rank. How elevated we feed because we have spent
a few minutes of conversation with the governor, or a senator
or any other high official. To have the acquaintance of one
such is more boasted of than to have that of a hundred worthy
people of lower station in life. Position catches the eye of many
and they are often blind to the character of the holders. Doubt-
less, a certain deference should be shown men of position, but
never that which lowers a person’s self below the dignity of
true manhood.
There is also a deference shown to wealth. When riches
become a thing of pre-eminent importance Io any citizen, they
become his master. That Boman emperor, whose passion for
wealth was so great that is urged him Io make himself Ihe heir
of rich men and then slay them, was Ihe slave of his passion
/hough the despotic ruler of the mightiest empire. There are
those whose character would ostracize them from the society
of decent people, yet who are honored simply because they have
money. We boast in vain that the distinction which marks so-
citey exists merely in the Old World. Society among us is
graded not by titular distinctions, to be sure, but by wealth.
There are Ihe poor, the working classes, the rich, and Hu* very
rich, and from Ihe lowest to the highest, is shown this deference
to wealth. In a democracy like ours our aim should be to eli-
minate such class distinctions. We should strive to show to
other nations that we actually believe Ihe basic principle of
our Constitution that fundamentally, at least, “All men are
created equal.”
How shall we speak of Ihe next duly which we have named?
What language shall we employ Io set forth the need of loyally
Io our Flag under which we live and for which we should be
willing to die? The Stars and Stripes have ridden triumph-
antly throughout the history of our country. With them, has
hv< n carried Ihe welfare, of a hundred million people. Since Ihe
first flag was raised by Washington at Cambridge, January 2,
1776, it lias towered high in the estimation of the world. It has
gleamed as a beacon of Liberty to the oppressed, a ray of light
to the down-trodden. It has cheered (he hearts of millions of
men on the battlefield. It symbolizes purity, truth and justice.
Loyalty to this magnificent emblem is the first duly of every
dweller beneath Old Glory’s stainless stars. Long may Ihe na-
tion’s banner wave over this favored land. Long may Ihe Na-
tion’s children gather under its folds and fling nut its colors into
the wholesome atmosphere of American Loyalty. Long may
the people rejoice as its every star becomes a star of promise
and its bright stripes, radiant with beauty, symbolize the sun-
rise of Universal Peace. MARGARET CORALIE HARDY, 1922

THE IMPORTANCE OF FOREST CONSERVATION
Honorable .Mention
Forest Conservation is a subject that should be vitally in-
teresting at the present lime. This question requires the at-
tention of every citizen of the United States. Foresty has been
defined as “The art of producing wood.” “Conservation is tin*
preservation from loss, decay or injury.” With these (wo de-
finitions in mind one is able to understand this subject which
is of importance al the present time.
You may ask, “Why is Forest Conservation important?''
There are three reasons: Io insure lumber for future genera-
tions, Io beautify the country and to protect the heads of large
rivers.
At the present rates there will be only enough lumber for
the next twenty-five years if nothing is done to replace the
timber which is being cut. Some people have said that lumber
could be obtained from other places or that it could be im-
ported if necessary; but this is impossible Io any great extent
Canada has a good amount of forests, but would she allow her
lumber to be exported to the United States in large quantities?
She would be aide to supply this country for only a short
period of lime. Then she would be in the same condition as
the United States.
It has also been said that there are plenty of materials
which can be substiluted for wood: for example, coal, alumin-
um, cement, etc. These require wood in production. Also the
coal supply will not last forever. Pennsylvania, one of the
richest states in coal, had already emptied some of her large
mines, and Penns Woods, from which lumber used in the mines
formerly was procured, is practically stripped of its lumber.
Another reason for protecting the forests is the beauty of
the country. The government already owns tracts of land
which it has set aside as national parks and forest reservations.
The Yellowstone Parks and a portion of the California Red
Woods are the best known. It is said that the Red Wood trees
are being ruthlessly cut and used for every purpose possible,
even as rairoad ties. This is unnecessary when there are other
varieties of trees that could be substituted. The beauty of these
trees cannot be appreciated if used for such rough purposes. We
owe something to the future generation and at the present rate
of consumption, the California Red Woods will be only a legend
handed down from one generation to another, with many tree
trunks to prove its authenticity.
The third reason why the forests should be cared for is to
protect the heads of large rivers that rise in the forests. Many
or the rivers in the United Slates are protected at their source
from the heat of the sun by the forests and if not partly shaded
50
THE YEAH BOOK
in their course, they would dry up as do some of our small
brooks during the summer.
Forest patrol is another great factor in the forest conserva-
tion. The duty of the patrol is to watch for disease or injurious
animal pests on the trees. Foresters believe that the production
of trees as a commercial enterprise is a profit to any one.
Careful lumbering is an important item in producing wood.
If timber is not properly prepared, it loses its value and causes
loss to many.
After a wood lot is stripped of its timber, the refuse should
be piled in windrows and burned. This allows for a second
Forest fires are the worst enemy of the woods. Many
tilings are being done to prevent these fires but when one gets
started it leaves ruin ami destruction in its path.
The Look (hit Stations are an important method id' guard-
ing forest fires, hut even these cannot prevent them.
Lumber or wood in any form furnishes work for many
people. In fact, “At least 10,000,001.) people in the United States
depend for their livelihood upon the forst and wood using in-
dustries. Lumbering, sawmilling, carpentering, the manufac-
turer of veneers, vehicles, furniture, handles, agricultural im-
plements, wood pulp, naval stores and many other wood using
industries keep about 2,000,000 wage earners at work.”
W ith all these facts Io consider, it is easy to see that the
importance of forest conservation cannot be estimated. II is one
of the questions al the present time and it must be definitely
settled by the present generation.
