HIGH SCHOOL LIFE OF 1922- 19’3
Who, but the high school student, knows and appreciates the accommodations
of a good building? This year we, the students of Milo High School, have been
given the benefit of three new recitation rooms, making the building about twice
as large as before. In view of the handicaps which we experienced last year, we
highly value the new addition. A room given over to English and History, one
to French, another mathematics, and so on, makes it much more convenient, both
for teachers and pupils.
The aim of the high school is to broaden and cultivate the mind of the pupil.
Can a plant grow in a small pot? Will not its growth be stunted? It will. And
it is the same with a mind. The atmosphere surrougding it must lie large enough
for expansion. We are exceedingly happy in being able to say that our ground
for cultivation is so very satisfactory. We take great pride in keeping our new
acquisition as spotless and clean as when the painter’s brush left it.
Owing to the congested condition of the grammar school, the eighth grade has
occupied one of the new rooms of our building this year. In this way it is possible
for them to eome in contact with the customs and manners of high school life,
preparing and arousing in them an interest for higher education.
Next year, the students will enjoy the courses of Domestfc Sciences and
Manual Training, which all modern schools now offer.
School Spirit
School spirit is something that every student in school should have. School
spirit may be displayed in several ways during one’s high school career. The
student, who sits idly at his desk wasting his time in classroom and study periods,
simply absorbing a very little of what some one else has accomplished, is not a
loyal student. That student should lie doing his or her best to keep up and
promote the educational standards of the school.
If a student has a special ability' along any line of the outside activities in
high school, and is not willing to enter into those activities such as, athletics,
debating, prize speaking, as an editor on the Breeze staff, taking some part in a
school play, or servingon some social committee, that student lacks the proper
attitude toward school work.
The students who are constantly boosting their school are boosting themselves,
while they who knock must remember that a knock at their school is a knock at
themselves.
As editor I am not complaining about the school spirit in Milo High School;
I think as a whole, the student body has this year supported every school activity
loyally. We are not, however, 100 percent, efficient, which is our aim.
IGNORANCE AND WH AT IT IMPLIES
We may Ire safe in saying that the curse of ignorance is one of the greatest
vices in existence. And yet, there are those who look askance at the modern
education, at a prolongation of studies at college. Still more take a high school
education philosophically, as something that haste be tolerated, and go serenely
on their way, absorbing as little as possible.
How much chance would a hoy or girl who had finished grammar school
stand against a college educated boy, who juggles his words dexteriously, and who
possesses a “savoir faire” that goes so far in this world today?
Take your school seriously. Determine to make a success of yourself through
education. Don’t let ignorance keep you down. Snatch every particle of
information possible! 1 Watch your opportunity, even if it has to be invented.
The only motto for today is, “go the other fellow one better,” and that
means KNOWLEDGE!!!
King Winter, holding undisputed sway in the realm of Milo, has found many
loyal subjects amopg the students of Milo High School. The first joust of King
Winter’s Tournament took place on the afternoon of Jan. 27. The eager cohorts
of the four feudal factions of the school, namely, Freshman, Sophomores, Juniors
and Seniors, gathered to earn individual laurels for themselves and honor for
their respective clans. This days work would decide those worthy valiants who
would represent Milo High at the Supreme Tournament held in the Royal City of
Augusta.
At the stroke <>f two of the clock Coach Ingraham called the contestants to
the field and the activities began. Speed and skill were shown to a marked degree
throughout. The otdy bad feature of the afternoon’s battle was the roughness of
the field, or the carelessness of the riders caused the horses (or rather snowshoes)
to stumble and deposit their riders in a rather hurried and unceremonious manner.
The Juniors might have easily won the interelass event, had not Scripture’s
mount been exceptionally unruly. The steadiness of the Sophomores gave them
the interclass honors.
The individual winner, Harry Peakes, was presented a silver loving cup, by
the faculty, as a reward for his laudable efforts.
The four men to prove that they were capable of representing Milo nt the
Grand Carnival at Augusta were, Harry Peakes, Lloyd Hovey, Donald Christie
and Glenn Moores.
At Augusta those four good men and true had to ls>w to the supremacy of
mightier and belter trained men, but their work was of the sort that prophesied a
marked improvement, when King Winter once again extends his control to the
south.
The Junior Commercial students purchased candy which was sold throughout
the fall and winter terms. The proceeds amounted to 870.91, and will l«e used to
defray expenses of the three students who go to Augusta to compete in the Short-
hand and Typewriting Contest this spring.
SOCIALS
The first social this year was given at the Grange Hall for the benefit of
Charles Wallace who got badly hurt in foot-lmll. The social was not only a
success financially, but also socially for everybody had a fine time. Ice cream was
sold. About twenty dollars was made. The next two socials were held after class
games at Chase’s Hall. They were for the benefit of the A. A.
Committees were appointed to look after the refreshments and games by Mr.
Jellison. At the first social, ice cream was sold and at the last one cocoa and
sandwiches were sold. They were both attended by large crowds.
The last social was given by the Junior class in December at the Grange Hall.
Doughnuts, hot-dogs ami coffee were sold. Everyone enjoyed a good time.
The Preliminary Junior Prize Speaking Contest was held in the Main room
Friday afternoon, Mar. 2. Mrs. Marion Crosby, Mrs. Gertrude Kittredge, Mr. C.
F. Smith, who acted as judges, selected the fidlowing to compete in the final
contest, which will be held in May.
Mildred Chapman. Mabel Lancaster, Harriet Kittredge, Madalene Cary,
Madeline Cowan, Paul Noyes, Clyde Davis, Brooks Monroe, Harry Peakes, and
Jerome Strout. The Seniors, Sophomores and Freshman enjoyed a half holiday.
OPERETTA------WINDMILLS of HOLLAND
Something new in the line of entertainment was presented by members of
Milo High School, Tuesdy evening Nov. 21. when “Windmills of Holland,, the
snappy operetta made its appearance.

SHORT RESUME
Delwin Shaw, as Mynbeir Hertogenbosch, the rich Holland farmer, might
have been more perfect at the drums, but gave a fine musical interpretation of
his part.
The character of Vrow Hertogenbosch. his wife, was ably handled by Carolyn
Dagget, the possessor of a delightful soprano voice. Wilhelmina and Hilda, the
discontented daughtersof Hertogenbosch family were represented by Mildred Chap-
man and Edna Kittredge respectively. When it comes to sarcasm, they are past
mistresses.
Eugene Clark took the part of Bob Yankee, the nonchalant traveling man
from America, who falls in love with first one girl, ami then another. "Gussy’’
was the boy for his part all right.
Hans, a student of music, was impersonated by Glen Brawn, in love with
Wilhelmina, was not the kind to be thrown over and he showed that persistency
a ins.
Francis Owens took the part of Frans, a rich farmer’s son, whose only
thought was Hilda, despite his effort to conceal it.
Katrina, a rich farmer’s daughter who monopolizes Frans, Hans, and finally
Bob Yankee, was taken by Doris Hackett.
The chorus of ten girls consisted of Doris Hackett, Francis Daggett, Harriet
Kittredge, Dorothy Golding, Arlene Souther, Pauline Hall, Una Smith, Ethel
Wallace, Amlier Warren, Edna Hamlin.
About 480. was realized for the benefit of the Athletic Association.

Feb. 8, 1923, “Mary’s Millions,” whs presented liefore a large and apprecia-.
tive audience, at Chic Theatre by the Senior class. It was also given March 1, for
the benefit of the American Legion, who thanked us heartily and treated the cast
to “splits” after the play.
CAST OF CHARACTERS and RESUME
Delwin Shaw, as Jack Henderson, characterized his part as befitting the hero.
G'.en Brawn, as Jimmie Barnes, taught us how to side-step the issue alright!
Vernon Knox and Thelma Burrill taking the parts of Mr. and Mrs. Stoneham,
gave us a fine interpretation of how they’ll look forty years from now!!
Harold MacLaren and Doris Hackett assumed the roles of Count and Countess
De Selles, pseudo brother and sister, after the cold cash, were some “Frenchies”.
Nellie McDonald was a real Mrs. Amanda Mudge, with a bee in her bonnet
over psychical work.
Thelma Rand as Betty Barlow, was bound to have Jimmey—andshegot him!!
Carolyn Daggett as Eudora Smith, the Stoneham’s “chief cook ami Isittle
washer”, understood her part and carried it out.
We’ll say Jimmey McDougal, as the obdurant Abiga Boggs, was right there.
Edna Kittredge, in the role of Mary Manners, the much “picked on” heroine,
came out triumphantly in the end.
For the past two years, as the seating facilities were very limited, our Com-
mercial department was in the Grammar School building. In cold weather it was
often very disagreeable to pass to and from the two buildings.
Now that a new wing has been added to the building our Commercial depart-
ment is not separated from the rest of the school and there is room for all. Our
Manual Training and Domestic Science rooms were not completed at the beginning
of the school year, so we have not had these courses this year, but we hope they
will be given next year.
FACULTY NOTES
During the latter part of the fall term Miss Treworgy was called home on
account of her brother’s death.
Mr. George Odhant, of Colby college ‘23 was secured to take her place for the
remainder of the fall term.
Owing to the physical condition of Miss Treworgy’s mother, she was obliged
to give up her work for the remainder of the year.
Mr. Herbert Ingraham, a graduate of Bowdoin college, was secured to fill the
vacancy caused by MissTrewogy’s resignation.

“He was perhaps fifty-five years old, but his
grey hair made him appear much older.”
Lost Amid the Snows
Hy Gilbert Syphern '25
“Is there a position opened here?” asked a young man of a clerk in a large
office.
“Just one minute, what’s your name?” asked the clerk, throwing out his
chest with an air of authority.
“John Carter,” was the reply, he also throwing out his chest as if he was
proud of the name.
The clerk hurried into the next room where he immediately lost all signs of
his dignity.
"A certain John Carter to see you, sir,” he said as politely as possible.
"Show him in,” said the superintendent of the fur establishment.
He was perhaps fifty-five years old, but his grey hair made him appear much
older.
“I am looking for work of excitable nature, and if you could accomodate
me, I would be very much obliged,” said Carter.
The very instant the superintendent saw Carter, he admired him, not only
for his large muscles and huge frame but also for his steel grey eyes, and square
jaw, this was the sort of man he had been looking for.
“I sent my son and his friend on a mission to get the value of some furs
located in the region around tl.e north pole. They went in an aeroplane and we
know that they landed some where around the pole. You say you want excite-
ment so I will furnish you a ship and crew and you can take charge of the
expedition to find the lost aviators,” the superintendent explained.
“I don’t know the least thing about a boat, in fact, I have never been aboard,”
Carter confessed.
"I will furnish a good captain,” the man assured him, “and if you find
them I will give you ten thousand dollars as a reward.”
“It’s a go! ” exclaimed Carter with a bang of his fist on the desk.
“But,” continued the superintendent, "You notice I said, ‘if you find them’,
if you don’t you will get nothing.”
“It will do no harm to try,” stated Carter.
A week later, furnished with his crew and ship, he sailed for the north pole.
As he sailed out the harbor he grew very thoughtful, as anyone will do on their
first time on the huge boats that men had succeeded in making. In a few days
he was used to the rocking of the ship. But he realized each day that he was get-
ing nearer his goal-the north-pole.
The boat stopped, and the engine ceased, as they reached the harbor where
they were going to land. Carter, taking a supply of food and two Eskimos,
20
started on a dog team, to hunt for the lost avaitors. At noon it grew cloudy, and
lx?ing twelve miles from the ship, he decided to push on. Carter let the Eskimos.
go on ahead while he walked far behind. It began to snow and he tried to catch
up with them, but in vain. Soon he lost their tracks because the snow became
so thick.
The wind came up and the snow grew sharper. As Carter floundered through
the snow his only thoughts were of shelter. The biting wind from the northwest
drove the snow into his face. The cold and tramping made him eager for rest;
the snow felt to
thoughts, so he
he came upon a large snow drift--and fell, how soft and warm
him, why try any longer, why not lie here? These were his
stayed—-exhausted.
When Carter awoke he was aware of a sore throat nnd that
his lungs ached.
He was lying on some furs and a small blubber lamp lighted up the interior
and showed Carter that he was in an igloo. Two men were talking, but too low
for Carter to understand. On turning his head he saw the two men. One of
them looked familiar but he couldn’t seem to think who it was.
As soon as Carter was able to talk he said, 'It seems as if I have seen you
somewhere,” to one of them.
“Don’t reckon so, because I came from the city,” he replied.
“So did I,” replied Carter.
“Well you don’t look like a tender-foot, what’s your name,” then went on,
“mine is Jim Carter, my chum and I came up in an aeroplane to—
But the rest of the sentence was cut off for Carter had now guessed who the
men were, the one was the son of the superintendent, he a as the perfect likeness of
him. And Carter was talking so fast and was so excited, I don’t believe any man
could have understood him. But when he became calm, he said,
“And your name is Carter,” then he mused, “and to think that I should
forget to find the name of this young man's father before 1 started.”
In a few days they hunted and found the ship frozen in the heritor, so the
long wait for spring began. But the monotony was broken by the jokes the fellows
played on each other, and the game of checkers which was played every night.
In the spring they arrived home safely. The superintendent was overjoyed
at the sight of his son and Carter noticed the troubled look disappear from his
face, and he seemed to have a new light in his eyes. Carter was also surprised to
find that Jim was his cousin, and refused to accept the reward because, he said,
it was his duty, but was finally persuaded to accept it.

“Ma, whete’s them shells I had left over from last year. They was right
here in this basket when I saw them last. Have you seen my knap-sack? That
one I got year before last, you remember it don’t you? Oh, there it is. Say, Ma,
21
sew this strap on here won’t you, and put a button on the flap of it too. There’s
a hole in my sweater ought to be mended too, it won’t take long. Have you any
idea where that hatchet of mine is, you know, the one pa gave me last Christmas.
Darn, the handles broke. Ma, can I have a dollar to get a new one with, and I
ought to have a new pair of gloves too. What did 1 do with that box of shells,
Ma, I just found them a minute ago. Are you mending my sweater, and say, fix
up a lunch for today will you, just a little one. 1 want four sandwiches, two
pieces of that pie and three of that cake you made this morning. Did you say
you ha<l found my thick stockings? I thot I heard you say you had, anyway,
look them up will you please, and Ma, while you areupstairs see if you can find
that red mackinaw I had, I left it down to the store and Pa said he’d bring it
home. He didn’t? Well, Ma, please call him up and tell him to, will you,
while I’m fixing this belt. You don’t know where there's an old belt buckle do
you? Say, there’s the fellows now. Good bye Ma, Oh, wait, throw me some
apples, please. Thats all, wait and see the partridge I bring home.”
A Narrow Escape
Doi is M. Hackett '2,1
‘‘Hi! there, Carrot tops, wait a minute.” This from a tall over-grown look-
ing lad, a strap depending from one shoulder, from which dangled an ‘‘Elementary
Physics,” and a “ Beginners-In-Spanish” hook; his sheep skin unbuttoned and
hands in his trousers pockets, cap at a decided angle on his thatch of wavy brown
hair (on which the hoys declared he used electric curlers.)
The lad ahead of him turned and stopped. “Oh, Hello, Crackers old son.
Top of the mornin’ to ye, me hye,” he said jocularly.
“Yes, its a great morning, but say, we haven’t any time to fool aliout the
weather, I’ve important news,” declared Crackers, otherwise Robert Pond of the
town of Regent.
“Well I’m waiting to here it Crackers.”
“Coach has put Rex off the team for disobeying rules.”
If a bomb had exploded in front of the boy called “Carrots Tops” forobvious
reasons, it would not have startled him more. Rex was the star player on the
Regent High foot-ball team.
“Why, why. Crackers, its just temporarily, isn’t it?” almost pleaded Carrot
Tops, who was captain of the team, and a much harrassed one, at that.
“Well thats just it. Coach declares he warned Rex long ago about smoking
during training, but you know how Rex is so darn pig-headed, if I must say so.
Thinks he’s the whole cheese, just because he can lift the pig-skin on the toe of his
boot. Oh, Rex is a peach of a player and he knows it and we know it, but that
isn’t the question, The question is, Who are we going to get to take Rex’splace?”
“1 might have known something would happen. Things have been going al-
together to smoothly lately,” lamented Robert, alias Carrot Top.
“Baileys no earthly good in Rex's place and will probably lose the game with
Texton.”
22
The two boys were approaching the school building and everybody seemed to
be excited about the news of Rex’s suspension, for all knew how important a part
he held in the coming game with Texton, and Regent High School was intensly
‘school spirited.”
All that day the boys and girls were noticeably excited. Professors and teach-
ers were more or less cranky at the al>sence of enthusiasm, on the part of the
scholars for their studies.
The only diversion afforded them was when, a little after the second period
had begun in the after-noon, a tall, rather heavily built boy, dressed in a topcoat,
and carrying a cap in his hand, was seen to enter the superintendent’s office.
Many were the suppositions about him, but none found out until the following day.
The next day dawned bright and clear, altho’ it was cold. When Crackers
arrived at the school-house, he was being hunted up by the crowd who assembled
for a meeting.
Bailey had practised assiduously the night before, but groans of despair went
up from the on lookers, when they realized what a difference there was between
the "sub” and Rex.
The meeting was called to order by Carrot Tops, and all settled down to the
business before them.
Just as Ted Camak was making a motion, the door opened and a tall boy with
black hair, parted in the middle, and combed smoothly back, merry brown eyes,
typical Roman nose, and a sunny expression, entered the room.
“Sorry to interrupt”, he said, "hut I was told that you were holding a meet-
ing here ami I’ve come as a candidate for any place open on the foot-ball squad. I
understand that the team is already elected but if I could ‘sub’ I’d be happy.”
Somebody recognized him aS the boy whom they had seen the after-noon before.
Like a shot out of a gun, every person there said the same four words,"Where
do you play?”
"Well I’m used to playing center he said, but that doesn’t make any differ-
ence.”
“Center", they chorused. “What school have you been to?”
“I’ve been going to a military academy in New York State and my course is
finished. My father has come south for his health and I came with him. Say,”he
added, "it isn't very warm here, now, is it?”
Everylody laughed. "Oh, we have winter in Kentucky, you know old top,
besides, we don’t call this ‘South’, not like California, I mean.”
"Well never mind the ‘petter’ fellows, but let’s get our find on the field and
see how he works.”
Accordingly, they all trooped to the field, and did a little exercising just l>e-
fore the bell rang.
These were a few of the comments passed, when they returned:
“Say, he’s alright.”
"Gosh, he’ll do won’t he?”
"Better than Rex isn’t he ?”

Milo’s Triumph
Harry McNeil 'm
1
The ball is kicked off by F. A.
The game it has begun,
And after the first rush is over
Milo high has won.
2
And never mortal man shall know.
How that thing came about,
But from that close pressed mass of
men,
Fleet Brawn came running out.
3
And F. A. rushed toward him,
Toward earth they kneeled,
But Brawn chuckes them under the
chin,
And saunters down the field.
4
The F. A’s rush in fierce pursuit,
But Brawn eludes them all,
He rushed twixt the quivering posts,
And sits upon the ball.
5
But Pat Peakes has kicked the ball,
(Hard Luck a-de-bo F. A.)-
As straight as mighty Dewey’s guns,
Upon the first of May.
6
The teams line up again and again,
Subs set in, there is a lot more,
For Brawn and Harmon take the
ball across,
The line and increases the score.
7
And when the game is finished,
And when the game is done,
Foxcroft Academy is vanquished,
And Milo has won.
8
Brawn has made three touchdowns,
Dick Harmon has made two,
Pat Peakes with his mighty foot,
Has kicked five goals ’tis true.
9
Foxcroft Academy goes home down-
hearted,
But wise, for they will never again,
Paste Milo’s scores around their
town,
When she’s beaten in a game.
A Trip to the Moon
By Barbara Hamlin ’~'6
I was tired of life, I wanted to travel. Now you probably think that is an
easy thing to accomplish, but when you have l>een all over the world several times
as I have, it is not such a simple matter. I didn’t care to go to Africa, China or
any of the other places, because I had seen them all so many times. Then one
day as I was trying to think up some amusement I had a wonderful idea, I would
take a trip to the moon.
24
For weeks I pondered as to how I should travel and finally I decided to go in
a great sky-rocket, which would l>e shot from the mouth of a cannon.
Eagerly I waited for the moon to full anil at last the day and then the night
of my departure arrived. About six-thirty the moon appeared over the hills with
a broad grin o.i his face as though laughing nt me for attempting such a foolish
journey.
I took my seat in the rocket, the lid was securely fastened down, and the
rocket was put into the mouth of a large cannon. With a great boom the cannon
was fired and I was off on my journey. It seemed like hours, but it was in reality
only a few minutes before the rocket struck something hard and stopped. Quickly
1 opened the lid and climbed out. To my surprise I found myself already on the
moon. The ground I stood on was hard dry clay. Iglanced around and away
off to the left I saw a great column of smoke arising. I started toward the smoke
hoping to find some human beirgs, and sure enough as I drew nearer to the smoke,
I saw people three feet tall dancing around a great fire.
As the people saw me approaching they all started toward me, waving their
arms and uttering hideous shouts. I saw that they were dressed in a queer man-
ner. The women,had dresses made of satin with moon-stones sewed all over them.
Their skirts reached about four inches below their knees. The faces of both men
and women were wrinkled and thin. The men were dressed in suits of orange
velvet trimmed with green. Men and women alike did their hair high an their
heads, held in place by strings of moon-stones, bound around their heads.
I spoke to one of the men who seemed to be the leader and asked him who
they were and what they were doing with such a large fire.
He answered me in perfect English. He said, “We are Moonites. Wespeak
all languages. Every night bands of our people light four great fires on the moon.
These fires are what is known on earth as the face of the moon or the eyes, nose
and mouth. To-night my band has charge of the left eye.’’
I next inquired where their houses were ami the leader said he would take me
to them while the rest tended the fire. He lead me away from the fire to an under-
ground passage, which was lighted with great moonstones set in the walls. The
Moonites had great amounts of metal but had no use for it. The homes were
nothing more than cavities in thewallsof the tunnel, each family occupying a cavity.
By the time the tunnel had been thoroughly explored, I liegan to have a queer
sensation. I longed to be back on the goixl old earth. I voiced my desire to the
leader, whose name was Benjamin Moonshine. Bennie told me he would do any-
thing to help me reach the earth.
I decided to superintend the making of a great cannon with which I could lie
shot back to the earth. The job was undertaken the next day and in sixty days
the cannon was finished.
One glorious day I again took my seat in the sky-rocket and in a few minutes
I was again on the good old earth, where I was gladly welcomed by my friends,
having been away a little over two months.

A BIT OF PAPER
Jieth Hrawn ’24
During the first week in Septemlier, 1914, America was aroused by messages
received fro n Europe telling of the terrible onslaught of the German army, which
was at that time within twenty-five miles of Paris.
War was the topic of conversation everywhere. Should America enter? Strong-
ly opposed to this was the pro-German element. Everywhere the Germans were
working secretly to aid the Fatherland.
Being a newspaper reporter for the New York Times I was especially interest-
ed in noting the effect of the European struggle on America. With this aim before
me, it became my custom to visit different foreign sections of New York, to note
the various activities there.
For this purpose I was walking in the German quarters of New York. I had
l>een making inquiries and quietly observing the conditions in that part of thceity,
when suddenly I heard a noise and a woman’s faee appeared at the window of one
of the most dilapidated tenements of that street. She was there for only an in-
stant but long enough for me to see that she was very beautiful.
Suddenly she disappeared from the window but as her hand left the sill a
bit of paper fluttered to the ground and she made motions for me to take it.
All this happened so quickly that I could not entirely understand the mean-
ing of the incident, for that is what 1 thought it was, an incident.
Gurions, I picked up the paper and looked again at the window but I was un-
able to see anyone. When I opened the paper to my surprise there appeared some-
thing that looked similar to this:
L A E O H E C P D W I
MNBXRTLUXA L
Z O P T A F G L X W N
ZXBRLCNIEGP
I was entirely at sea to the meaning of al) this. To me it looked like a mean-
ingless jumble of letters.
After thinking over I knew it was a cipher of some kind and immediately I
came to the conclusion that the lady might be in need of assistance. I tried the
door and found it to be locked. After some deliberation I decider! that there was
nothing I could do and I absently tucked the peculiar message in my pocket and
went on my way.
Now I had planned to spend the week end at the camp of my friend, George
Bronx, a noted criminologist. Each winter he invited some friends to his camp
in the Adirondack Mountains for a week of winter sports, and this year I was a-
mong the number invited.
One evening, while the rest of the party were sleigh riding, I quiet)}’ entered
my friends studio so as not to disturb him and I sank into a chair and thrust my
hands into my pockets. My fingers touched something and on bringing it out, I
saw that it was the code which I had picked up that day when I was in the German
section of New York City.
26
As George had studied code and cipher messages I took the paper to him and
asked him if lie could decipher it. He told me to wait until the end of the wgek
and he would try to have it solved.
I waited with impatience. At last he called me into his den and he showed
signs of suppressed excitement This is what he told me.
A party of German anarchists had formed one of the most daring plans, that
J. ever heard, which they were going to carry out as soon as possible. The code
was a message to these people from the Kaiser to come to Germany to perfect their
plan.
.George advised me to return to that tenement and shadow them. So hurried-
ly i packed my valise and went hack to New York City. Again I strolled along the
Street as I had formerly done. I continued to do this for a week, and havinggath-
ered what information I could I returned to George’s camp to report what I had
learned and to receive further instructions.
“It will be necessary for you to follow them. I gather from what you tell me
that they are going to send two people to France to complete their plan. You
must follow these people.”
So I returned again to New York to resume my amateur sleuthing.
I found out what steamer they were to take and obtained a transportation on
the same one and by some lucky chance I received a stateroom joining theirs.
The first thing I did was to make a hole in the partition so that I might hear
their conversation.
During the period it took to reach London I had an opportunity to observe
the conspirators more closely.
The man was a short, thick set, broad shouldered person in the early forties.
His eyes were dark and piercing and it was his habit to pull his cap low on his fore-
head. He kept aloof from the rest of the passengers. Hiscompanion, in contrast,
was light cotnplexioned, and very much overdressed. She was often finding fault
with her companion.
In spite of the fact that I had made a hole between our rooms I learned noth-
ing of importance except that they were going to a chateau on the outskirts of
Paris.
When we arrived in London, I followed them with great difficulty through the
crowded dock. I succeeded however in following them to the hotel Paix.
I registered under an assumed name and while I was doing this I hadanopp >r-
tunity to see that these criminals had signed themselves as Mr. and Mrs- J. La-
Cyr of New York, although I found out later their names w’ere Mr. and Mrs. Von-
Sehneider.
My room again joined theirs. During the evening I passed their door. They
were in the midst of an argument. Mr. LaCyr or Mr. Schneider, as his real name
was declared that they would wait for Ilans. 1 wondered who this new member
was and his connection with the affair.
I heard no more between the couple that night and the next morning I arose
early.
As I was decending the wide stair case to the breakfast room someone collided
with me. Immediately there was a volley of epithets hurled at me, in French and
German. My accuser, I noticed, was small and wiry built and his hair was red.
He had mannerisms of a Frenchman but nevertheless he talked like a German
and I was puzzled as to his nationality.
At once I forgot him, for I was thinking of other things, but my reverie was
cut short because I remembered this was the day that Hans was to arrive.
I hastened back to my room and listened with my ear close to the thin par-
tition.
I heard the quick emphatic speech of a man, which I recognized as the voice
of the man who had accosted me.
While listening, 1 heard that they were going to the chateau at once. Wait-
ing to hear no more I packed my bag and went down to the foyer and waited for
them. I will not go into the details of the trip.
Finally after crossing the English Channel we reached the chateau. I kept
guard all night, walking back and forth, so that no one should go out unseen by
me.
The next morning they came out ready for travel.
Now the three Germans were becoming more cauliou«and my work was rather
dangerous but I continued to follow occasionally losing sight of them, but always
picking up the lost trail.
We entered Berlin and they engaged rooms at a hotel near the Kaisers palace.
I did likewise.
That night while watching from a window, I saw all three go out. I followed
them as far as the Kaiser’s palace and knowing to remain would be futile I went
back to the hotel. The following hour I spent in hard study contriving a plan by
which I could enter the palace. At last I succeeded.
I hastened to a near by shop and purchased a butler’s uniform. Then I went
to the Palace and asked for a position as butler and presented my forged creden-
tials. How I thank my lucky stars that I took German in college.
I was told there was a vacancy and as my credentials were satisfactory I might
l>egin at once.
On my first day there I was able to learn quite a bit from the other servants
by discreet questioning.
For the next two or three weeks by eavesdropping on several occasions, I dis-
covered the important fact that Hans was a bomb maker, also that Mr. and Mrs.
Von Schneider and Hans were about to return to America, and would carry with
them a new machine to make bombs.
So acting on this knowledge I resigned my position, giving as an excuse the
illness of my mother.
Two days afterwards the Germans returned to the chateau, and I followed.
Ae before I watched outside that night. I must have fallen asleep, for the next
thing I knew, I was laying on a couch and somebody was talking.
Cautiously I opened my eyes, and saw the three Germans. They were trying
to think of a way to dispose of me and I shuddered at the thought of what they
might do. Thinking that 1 was still unconscious they went out.
I realized that every moment now was precious and I worked frantically at
the ropes which hound my feet and hands. I made my escape by decending
28
from one balcony to another, which Providence seemed to have placed there for
my special benefit. w
When they reached America they went at once to the house where I had first
seen them. This time I gained entrance to the house ami very slowly ascended
the gloomy stairs and crept along the dark, ill smelling hall.
I heard voices and was so intent upon listening, that I heard nothing behind
me. The first I knew of another’s presence I received a none too gentle blow on
the head. Then all was darkness.
I returned from oblivion after what seemed to lie an eternity. I found to my
surprise that I was alone. My head ached and the ropes cut into my flesh.
After I had recovered from the effects of the blow, I looked about for a means
of cutting the cords around my wrists.
I saw a piece of glass on the floor, and although there was danger of lieing
heard I rolled off the cot on the floor and got the piece of glass. After long tedious
work I freed myself anti went to the door opposite the room where I had been
kept prisoner.
I heard angry voices then a woman’s scream. I rushed into the room and at-
tacked the man, whom I had been following. After a fierce struggle I finally
bound and gagged him.
When the girl had recovered from her fright, she said she was Miss Elsa Faye
of the United States Secret Service Bureau, and had been commissioned to find
out about the anarchists, but had been captured and held there.
We suddenly remembered our danger, and as the window was the oidy safe
way out, we improvised a rope from the bed coverings and made our escape, to
the Secret Service Office.
It is sufficient to say that the Germans were captured before they could carry
out their plan, of making tombs in the old tenement, and sending them out in
different parts of the country to destroy munitions and other important plants.
After that I married Elsa. We went to George’s camp and told him the
whole story. Then we went to the Hawaiian Islands, for a honeymoon and now
the “Bit of Paper” is carefully framed and hangs in my den.
The Farmers Hero
By Harry Peakes '’
John Sampson was a farmer’s son and as usual was clumsy with his hands
and feet. He was tall, light complexioned and had blue eyes. He never had a
chance to be an athlete and consequently was not interested in it.
A year before, his father hail decided to send him to college to take a course
in farming. At first John did not want to go, but finally relented and by the
middle of September he was settled in one of the dormitories of St. James college.
‘20
This college always had go >d athletic teams and won the State championship
nearly every year. This year all they lacked to make a crack football team was
a man to throw forward passes.
One afternoon about four o’clock, John having all his studies prepared,
decided to take a walk around the campus. He came to the athletic field where
the football team was practicing, and decided he would stop and watch them a
while. As he wasstandingon the fartherside of the field, n queer thing happened.
The team that was playing against the varsity punted the ball and it rolled
over to John’s feet. Someone told him to throw it back on the field. As he stoop-
ed to pick it up he noticed the lacing on it, common sense told him to place his
fingers on the seams, the same as wheii throwing a baseball. He threw it back
onto the field but instead of going into the players’ hands it went high over their
heads though they were standing forty yards away. As this happened he saw a
man start towards him. He thought he was going to receive a call down, but in-
stead, he was given a football and told to report for practice the next day.
After a week’s practice he could throw a football about sixty yards. The
coaches decided to save him until one of their big games, where they would send
him in ami spring a surprise.
The first time he played, St. James won 34-0 ami four of the five touchdowns
were on forward passes thrown by John. He continued his fine work and played
every game for the rest of the season but the last and biggest game of the year.
In the first play of this game he received a cut in his forehead and was
forced to go out on account of the cut bleeding so badly.
In the third period St. Mary’s quarterback kicked a field goal ami made the
score 3-0, against St. James.
St. Mary’s was not able to score again in that period nor the next, but three
points looked large enough for victory.
With about four minutes to play John persuaded the coach to let him go in.
The ball was ontinually travelling back and forth by an exchange of punts until
finally, it was St. Mary’s ball on her fifty-two yard line.
With thirty seconds to play a forward pass signal was given. John stepped
back five yards and the ball was snapped to him. He paused an instant and then
threw the ball with all his strength and skill.
Just as the ball seemed to touch the ground, a dashing figure caught it and
fell to the ground, scoring a touchdown. The ball had been thrown about sixty-
five yards, the longest pass on record.
The St. James quarter kicked the goal making the final score 7-3.
John was carried from the field on the shoulders of teammates and hailed as
hero everywhere.
A special account of the game was printed in the paper, which gratified
John’s parents and towns-people very much. In fact it pleased some of the
home friends so much that they paid the rest of his expenses through college, and
John was graduated as a first class farmer and also an Al football player.
Baseball
Baseball practice la-gnn the first week of the spring term and under the
coaching of Principal Allen a fine team was expected, but he bad a big job on his
hands, as he had lost such men as Repscha, Savage, Whitney, and Allen.
C. Stanley Weir ’22 and Harry Miles ’22 were elected manager and captain
respectively.
Manager Weir arranged a fine schedule, bringing us in touch with such
schools as Bangor, Higgins, Millinocket, Dexter and Orono Catholic.
The line up was as follows:
Lancaster ’22 2I>; Miles ’22 ss; A. Cooley ’21 cf; Wallace '22 If; MacDougall ’23
rf; Noyes lb; Peakes '21, R. Harmon ’23 or Harris ’22 3b: C. Harmon ’23 c;
Arsenault '23 or L. Hamlin ’21 p.
The following is a brief resume of the games:
Milo was beaten in their first game at Brownville owing to the poor playing field
and cheinability of the Milo boys tohit Crozier, Brownville ace. Score: B. U.S. 5,
M. II. 8.0. The second game was with Brownville at Milo, after getting a
good lead in the early innings, and knocking Crozier out of the box, we were
defeated in the late innings. Score: B. H. 8. 11, M. II. S. 7.
The third game was with Orono Catholic at Milo. Orono was easy for Milo,
and Orono was swamped 19 to 4. It was in this game that Wallace hit a home run.
The next game was with Dexter at Dexter with Cooley in the box and with
Scripture in center field. It was one of the best games of the season but we were
beaten 9 to 7 owing to one bad inning on Milo part when Dexter scored five runs.
The following Saturday Milo played Higgins at Milo. We expected a tough
battle but Higgins was easy, Milo winning 12-0.
The next Wednesday, Milo won from Millinocket by the nairow margin of
10 to 8, due to the wildness of Millinocket's pitcher.
Owing to the intense cold and wonderful pitching of Petrie of O. C. H. S. Milo
w’as defeated 9 to 2, at Orono.
In the return game with Millinocket, at Millinocket, we were swamped 15 to 5
The only good point in Milo’s favor was that we lead 4 to 1 in the end of the
fifth.
Our next game was with Bangor, at Bargor, in which we were beaten 17 to 14
on the poorest field Milo e”er had the misfortune to play on. There was no left.
field at all and center and right field were not any too large, and the ground was
as hard as a rock.
Milo played the return game with Bangor at Milo. With Arsenault going
31
like a house on fire and the score 6 to 3 in his favor, rain stopped the game at the
end of the third inning.
Milo was defeated hy the Dexter team at Milo 17 to 11 in a slow game.
We played Brownville Jet. two games on two open dates. Milo won both
games 14 to 4 and 11 to 8.
Total Score: M. H S. 112, Opponents: 107
It would be hard work picking out the individual star of the season because
every man was in there with the old fight.
In the writers estimation the leading features of the season were Wallace’s
home run in the Or >no Catholic game at Milo. Lancaster’s leap in which he got
Albert’s line-drive in the Millinocket game at Milo, Arsenault pitching in the
Brownville Jet. game at Milo when only 23 batters faced him in seven innings.
Letter men for the year were:

L. Hamlin ’24
Infielders:
Noyse '24
Lancaster ’22
Miles ’22

Football
In August the letter men elected Glenn Brawn ’23 manager and Raymond
Scripture ’24 captain of the football team.
The business men of the town pledged to give so much a week to pay for a
coach and it was decided to get Dick Montgomery from Roxbury, Mass.
The team and the school catinot thank these men enough for their support
in bringing such a good coach to Milo.
Manager Brawn arranged a fine schedule, arranging games with Lee Academy,
Brownville Jet., Orono High, Millinocket High, Brewer High, and Foxcroft Academy
Milo opened the seasan by playing Lee Academy at Lee in which Milo won
6-0 in a fast game.
The following Wednesday the Milo eleven met the Brownville Jet. team at
Milo in which Milo swamped them 63-0. Br iwnville Jet. failing to make a first
down.
The next game was with Orono High at Milo. Milo evidently had the game
won the score being 6-0 in their favor with ab >ut 5 minutes to go and the ball
midfield in their possession when Orono tackle got through and blocked a punt,
Orono recovering in those last five minutes. Orono scored 13 points.
32
The next game was with Orono at Orono and if the Milo line ever played they
played that day. Time and again Orono needed the goal line to go. They suc-
ceeded in penetrating the Milo line twice as the score showed. In the last half
Milo was on her way to a touchdown hut luck was against us when Wallace, star
halfhack had to lie taken from the game with a sprained ankle. The score was
12-0 in Orono’s favor.
The next game was with Brewer at Milo. Although the score 0-0 would in-
dicate a good game it wasn’t as good as the Orono game. Brewer's goal was
threatened during the first half, but Milo couldn’t push the ball across. In the
last half Brewer needed four inches for a touchdown, but were he'd to downs.
A lucky break occurred for Brewer in the last half. Captain Scripture of Milo
intercepted a Brewer pass and was on bis way for a touchdown, but the last man
got him. The game ended there.
The next game was with Millinocket, at Milo. Milo easily defeated them
20-0. Milo’s goal noteven threatened.
Milo easily won the return game with Lee Academy, at Milo, 20-6. The last
half was played in a cold snow storm, which was a decided advantage to the
heavier Lee team. Therefore the one touchdown.
The next game was with Brewer, at Brewer. Milo was defeated 20-0 at
Eastern Ball park which was partially due to the slippery field which makes it
easy for a heavier team, which was Brewer.
On Oct. 28, Milo played the return game with Millinocket, at Millinocket.
Milo was trimmed 32-7 in the absence of Coach Montgomery who had left us
the preceeding week. We do not say we would have won that game but we think
we would have made a better showing if there had been a different referee on the
field.
The last game was with our ancient rival Foxcroft Academy, and it gave us
more satisfaction to win that game 35-7, than any other game.
The squad wishes to thank Mr. Inman, manager of the Chic Theater, for his
generosity in giving them all a pass to the pictures, after the Foxcroft game.

Boy’s Basket Ball
Basket-Ball started rather early at M. H. 8. this year, earlier than in prev-
ious years, and owing t<> the fact that there was no team in the winter of 1921-
1922, a lot of enthusiasm was shown.
Ata meeting of the Atheletic Assra-iation the first of Novemlier. Ernest Arsen-
ault was elected manager, and at a meeting of the letter men C. Harmon was elect-
ed captain.
Manager Arsenault arranged for the first game to he played at Milo with Guil-
ford, in one of the fastest games seen on a local floor, Milo won 30-29.
The next Friday night Milo played Sangerville at Milo, although not as fast as
the Guilford game, it was exciting, Milo won 41-15, making two straight games.
The next game was also played at Milo with Dexter, hut Dexter was too good
for Milo, although the Milo boys fought hard up until the last whistle, they went
down to defeat 38-18.
Milo played her first out of town game the next Friday night at Dexter, her
opponents of the week liefore. To my knowledge there was never a Milo team
lieaten so badly. The score was 91-21.
For the next two weeks Milo was idle owing to a school law prohibiting teams
to play during vacation.
34
The first game after the Chiistmas vacation was nt Guilford. Milo was lieaten
34-18 owing to the poor condition of the backboards. —
The next game was with. Foxcroft Academy nt Dover-Foxcroft, Milo was
beaten 50-27 in a raw deal. Quite a lot of enthusiasm shown in Dover-Foxcroft
over this game, so they chartered a special train to bring a crowd of rooters over,
two weeks from that night. That coming game was all any one could talk ala>ut
in Milo for the next two weeks.
Although Milo was used raw in Dover-Foxcroft they decided to give them a fair
deal in Milo and beat them so they hired Physical Director Wallaceof the U. of M.
to referee, the big game. The big night arrived and before the special from Dover
with 210 arrived the hall was packed with Milo fans. The officials held a consul-
tation to see if they would let the Dover-Foxcroft fans in, but they finally decided
to, so you can imagine under what conditions the two teams played, with be-
tween four and five hundred people in Chase’s Hall. Milo knew they could win
with a square deal and they did 21-12.
The next game was with E. M. C. 8. of Bucksport at Milo. E. M. C. S. was
too fast for Milo and M. H. 8. lost in a fast game 44-30.
The following Friday there was a game scheduled with E. M. C. S. at Buck-
sport, but as the train was two hours late, out of Milo the Bucksport train did not
wait at Bangor so the Ixiys had to come home on the last train.
As Guilford and Milo had won a game apiece, they played the rubber game at
Milo the next Friday night, Milo won 61-36. Milo went to Sangerville for the
next game but they were beaten in a fast ami exciting game 36-35.

Qirls' Basket Ball
There was no girls’ basket-ball team last year, but the girls decided to have
Milo represented this year in the games. Thelma Hovey was elected Manager and
Ella Davis Captain. None of the girls had won letters so the coach, Miss Blethen,
bad all new girls to start out with. At the first of the year the following girls
played, Madalene Cary, Dorothy Golding, Thelma Chase, and Pauline Hall, as
forwards, Madalene Cowan, Thelma Hovey, and Maliel Lancaster as guards and
Ella Davis as center. Changes were made later on with Thelma Chase, Dorothy
Golding, Madalene Cary, forwards, Madalene Cowan and Maliel Lancaster guards,
and Dorothy Knapp as eenter.
Thelma Hovey injured her spine in practicing and had to give up playing.
Nellie Savage, Averill Booher and Edith Artus were our subs.
The girls earning letters are as follows: Thelma Hovey (Mgr) Ella Davis
(Capt) Madalene Cary, Dorothy Golding, Thelma Chase, Madalene Cowan, and
Mabel Lancaster. As this is the first year the girls ever played they feel they
made a rather good showing.

Exchange List
I seated myself with some papers,
Upon the difficult task intent
Of complying with the request on the
cover,
“Please exchange and comment.”
With envy I gazed at the pretty girls
With their bobbed and frizzy hair,
Took a look at the smart young chaps
Whose faces were pictured there.
I scratched my head, I cranked the ma-
chine
In vain pursuit of a thought.
But it evidently was stalled for good.
For below was all I got.
With bursted tires and engine stalled.
All our efforts were in vain,
Nothing left but to toot the horn
And invite all to come again.

tainly O. K. Call again up this way.

partment ranks high, it to your name holds true. An invitation “Come again”

work we greatly admire. Among our exchanges there are none that rank higher.

ment quite takes the lead. In fact you are a. very good paper indeed.

took paper, your pluck we admire.

and bard to beat. All your departments are complete.

ceived and we’ll say in reply, that it is an honor to Castine High.
“The ReHector” Brownville High School, Brownville, Maine: A first-rate
paper we all did agree. Always on our exchange list we hope you will lie.
“Pine Needles” Mattanawcook Academy, Lincoln, Maine: A few cuts of
your students would indeed be fine. A nicely written paper with ads a full line.
“The Megunticook” Camden High Schiad, Camden, Maine: Your literary
department is worthy of praise. A very good paper in all of its ways.

future.

Song of a Sophomore
I shall not graduate,
She maketh me to translate before the
whole class and showeth my ignorance
liefore them,
She returneth my notebook,
She leadeth me into the paths of degrada-
tion and shame.
Yea, though I study all night, I still feel
nervous, for she always calls on me,
She speaketh to me before the whole class,
I study my lesson hard, but show not
knowledge,
Surely her teachings will follow me all
my school days,
And I will dwell in her French class for-
ever.
Day before the Senior Play
Peter, “I have to get a ticket for that
show tomorrow night.”
H. McLaren (who is “count” in play)
absent mindedly, “What play tomorrow
night?”
This poem was taken from our exchanges
and as it seemed so appropriate in the
case of the Sophomores of M. II. S. we
decided to print it.
The Sophomores Lament
O, why did Caesar build that bridge?
Why did he cross the Rhine?
If he’d only had an aeroplane,
’Twould save me lots of time.
At any rate ’twas not required.
To tell just how he made it.
In four short words he could have said,
“In flumine pontem fecit.”
If I could only have the chance,
Of doing what I wanted,
I’d take and cross out lots of things,
That have us Sophomores haunted.
The second peri ph rustics—whiz!!
From Ciesar’s lx>ok I’d sever,
The supine and the gerund, too,
I’d put away forever.
And when I’d finished all my task,
I’d pass this weighty law,
“All indirect discourse to be skipped,

He’s the only silent member of our class.
He never speaks unless he’s spoken to,
and sometimes not then. He has notions.
Hope another notion of yours Maurice,
will be to, “Keep on
going.”
Ernest John Arsenault Pete
Manager of Basket-Ball, Junior play,
Junior Exhibition, Editor of Prattles and
Tattles. Pete is one of our sports. He’s
right there every time. Although he
made a corking villain in our Junior play,
his character is by far the contrary.
Glen Eldin Brawn Sim
Manager of Foot-Ball, President of Senior
class, Senior play, School operetta.
Glen is our class artist and believe you
me, he can draw, too. But he’d rather
play on the school teams than eat. Too
bad. Good luck to you at art school.
Thelma Edith Burrh.l Tay
Secretary Sophomore and Junior year,
Junior play, Senior play, Debating team
’22. Tay hails from Corinna. We be-
lieve she likes the place better than Milo,
for no other reason than, well, you tell
’em Tay, you know him better. Hope
you enjoy being a Latin teacher.

Epith Lenora Buzzell Buzzer
Edith is really perplexing. We like her,
though, even if she does give us the willy
willies of wondering what her next move
and speech will be. We couldn’t get
along without her though, especially in
English class.
Kenneth Wayne Carr Ken
Kenneth comes to us from ‘the coun-
try” of Lagrange. He has more of an
ambitious feeling than we think for. Oh
Boy! he can hum the piano.
Bertha Hamer Chapman Bert
Treasurer Senior Class. Bert is a very st u-
dious young lady, but she finds time to
giggle with her schoolmates we find.
May you make a wonderful cook.
Henry Eugene Cotter Cot
Cot made a grand hit in our Junior play.
He certainly was a great help toward its
successful goal. Thetroubleis, with Cot,
he is so restless that he travels to Brown-
ville real often. Too bad Col, we sympa-
thize

Ella Thomas Davis Ducky
Captain of girls Basket-Ball team 1923.
Ella comes to us from Brewer this year.
We are glad she likes Milo ami we think
she’s a good addition to our class.
Caroline Louise Daggett Carol
Junior Exhibition, Junior play, Senior
play. School Operetta, M. II. S. Orches-
tra 4 years. Carol is one of our song
birds of the class. She wants to be a
physical director. We sincerely hojie
you may achieve your highest ambitions.
Carol won girls second prize in Junior
Exhibition.
Maude Nellie Dean Maude
Maude is a very quiet member (???) of
ourelass. What al>out it Maude"? Didn’t
I hear you giggle? I think I did, I mean
I know I did. What ever vocation in life
you choose, may you have success.
Fred Frank Gould Ted
President Sophomore class. Junior play.
Tedis a very bashful member (??) We’ve
always wondered who his affinity was,
and I guess we’ll continue to wonder.
Ted you’d make a cracker-jack farmer.
47
Edith Orissa Cannby Edith
Edith is another of our sedate maidens.
She is one of the English teacher’s stand-
bys, never failing to reply when called
upon. We know
you’ll succeed.
Doris Madalene Hackett Dot
President Freshman year, Treasurer
Sophomore and Junior year, Junior Ex-
hibition, Junior play. Debating team ’22,
Senior play, School Operetta. Dot is
what the boys call “a vamp.” We won-
der why (???). Good luck at Farming-
ton.
Claude Delmar
Captain of Boy’s
Fat is always latent school. Perhaps he
lets his nickname give him away. We
advise you Fat, as friends and school-
mates to get yourself an alarm clock.

Richard Edward Harmon Dick
Dick is our center in Basket-Ball, and he
sure can play. Dick also has wit as we
learned from his speech given at chapel
one morning. M. H. S. will miss you.
48
Edna Gertruds Kittredge Kina
President Junior class, Junior exhibi-
tion, Junior Play, school operetta, Senior
play Editor-in-chief of the “Breeze”.
She is one of our “up and doing” class-
mates. She made a great heroine in
both our Junior and Senior plays. Edna
likes the opposite sex pretty well and has
chosen often.
Helen Mudgett Keniston Helen
Secretary of class ’23. Business Manager
of “Breeze”. Helen can work some when
she gets started. She also can giggle.
Can’t bluff her who is the cutest boy in
school, either. Good luck to you in train-
mg next fall,
Vernon Charles Knox Bwter
Junior exhibition, Junior play. Senior
play. Vernon is another of our brilliant
men. There’s heaps of fun in him too.
He hails from “the country” called Al-
ton. But we wonder why he never had
a girl, for he’s a real live woman-hater.
Florence Violed Mayo For
For is one of our merry “old maids’’.
She plans to enter Castine in the fall.
We bet she’ll make a good teacher. Don’t
use the strap too often. We hope you’ll
like to be aschool-ma’m Florence.
49
Nellie Ellen McDonald Toot*
Senior play, Toots, where’s “Casper”?
He usually is with you. We like your
quiet ways, and to lie in your company is
a pleasure. The Senior class wish you
the l>est of hick.
James Archibald McDougal Jimmy
Junior Exhibition, Senior play. Jimmy is
one of the *‘live wires” in class of ’23.
But we do love to tease him. He was a
prize speaker, winning boy’s first prize in
Junior Exhibition. He was a cracker-
jack old man in the Senior play.
J/es
Harold Leland MacLaren Mac
Senior piny. Mac, is a very modest (?)
lad. The girls liketo tease him about his
necktie. Mac is also loving, and all the
girls are aware of it Aussi: He made a
corking French count in our Senior play.
There’s a smoother road ahead Mac.
Cecil Raymond Messer
Men, bails from “the country”, he also
has hailed from Bangor with the auto
plumb full of girls. We think he’s ex-
ceedingthe speed-limit. Just rest a while
Cecil and see how it feels.
50
Bertha Viola Perkins Fritz
Fritz, is one who likes to giggle ami we
know something else that she likes too.
Can you guess? It's the boys of course,
any one can see that. May your wagon
l>e hitched to a lucky star.
Thelma Alvada Rand Rarula
Junior play, Senior play. Randa is what
we think, cutting out to be an old maid,
but stop to think of it, she is quite popu-
lar with the opposite sex. She’d like to
know why, if you know why, tell her.
We don’t. Castine is her goal-post at
present.
Delwin Melvin Shaw Delly
Junior play, Senior play. Vice President
Junior class. School operetta. Ddly is
one of our talented musicians. He’s the
l>est fiddler on the market. If you don’t
believe us ask Dot. He keeps Met in touch
with innumerable girls. Best of luck at
“Conservatory of Music.”
Ora Oliver Strout Pimp
Junior play, Junior Exhibition. Pimp
won the boy’s second prize in Junior Ex-
hibition last year. Pimp and Cot are like
Hanz and Fritz. Always together. Pimp
wants to be an automobile expert, and
we believe he’ll make a great success of
that vocation.

Facial Expression
People know you by your face.
They judge you by your face. In
fact, no matter what you are or
who you are, you cannot escape
from your face. The shape and
expression of the face depend
greatly upon the number and posi-
tion of the teeth. Lose your teeth
and you lose your natural expres-
sion.
If jour children’s teeth arc irregu-
lar, have them straightened. Don’t
allow neglect to rob the future citi-
zens of America of their proper,
normal, wonderful faces. The
most beautiful woman in the world
cannot be beautiful without teeth.
