SALUTATORY
Classmates:
In the fulure when we shall recall our school days, the
school assemblies will be some of our most pleasant memories.
There have been assemblies for pleasure and assemblies for
business, but Io us tin* most important is the assembly for
to-night, our graduation. We are taking a decisive step to-
night. For some of us it may be the last round of our successful
educational ladder; for others whose ladder may be higher on
account of various opportunities ami advantages, it is one
more round successfully attained.
W’e may congratulate ourselves on having enjoyed so many
pleasures, on having persevered through periods of difficulty
ami discouragement in our school life, and on thus being able
to graduate as the class of ’23. Although we have not yet dis-
tinguished ourselves as geniuses or experts, it is very fitting
that after four years of our high school venture, we shall take
account of stock. We have received in general, so far as we
have embraced the opportunities opened to us, an education
which gives common elements of culture, common ideals, per-
fection in basal habits of knowledge and skill, together with
those things which will be of direct and immediate use to us
on graduating.
May we. members of the class of ’23 always keep fresh in
our minds the good limes that we have spent together and
ever cherish the dear friendships that we have made. May we
profit, loo, by this high school education by letting nothing
discourage us. incessantly striving onward and upward, and
making ourselves a true asset to this world.
Schoolmates, our class heartily welcomes you to their
graduation exercises.
Many times it takes a crisis to make people more truly
realize the value of certain common things of seemingly little
importance. Water—light—air, what could we do without
them? Graduation serves as such a crisis. Does not to-night
help you to realize the opportunities of our high school, the
enjoyment of our play and the satisfaction of our work? So
continue and when there is only one year before graduation.
when the presentation of the Senior class play calls your at-
tention to the fact that your last year in high school is half
done, yon will certainly see then the opportunities that you
have had. Perhaps you have benefited by them all, perhaps
not. according to your own personal effort to grasp them when
they were put before you.
The easiest way to realize the advantages and opportuni-
ties that we have is for vs to see what the people of fore gn
countries lack. Have you ever heard this story of Mary Antin,
who is host known by her book. “The Promised Land’’? While
visiting an American city school she asked a ragged little boy.
“What are you going to be when you become a man?” “A den-

list,” was the prompt reply. “How do you know you can?”
asked Miss Antin. “Because it is an agreement between my
father and myself,” the boy replied. “Next year 1 am going to
high school then to college and learn how to be a dentist.”
Later when Miss Antin was visiting a school in Russia, she
asked the same question to a little lad with a promising face.
“What are you going to be,” she asked. “I don’t know,” was
the reply. “What would you like to be,’’ continued Miss An-
tin. “I don’t dare tell, because the Czar may not want me to
be it,” said the little boy. “Whisper it in my ear,” coaxed Miss
Antin. "I won’t tell anyone.” Finally with his arms around
her neck he whispered, “A shoemaker.”
But if America gives us the greatest opportunities in the
world, it lays upon us a corresponding responsibility. Might
we not well live by the Pledge recently adopted by hundreds
of Massachusetts school boys during Loyalty week. Namely:
Because I belive that the ideals of democracy are right;
that every man is personally responsible for the maintenance
of these ideals; that every man is under obligation to render
public service; that every man is in duty bound to train him-
self to this end;
Therefore I pledge myself to prepare myself for the ser-
vice to my country and humanity by attending school regu-
larly and devoting myself to my studies by upholding the stan-
dards of the school and supporting its activities with enthus-
iasm; by co-operating in every way with those who are striv-
ing for honest business, (Lun pi 1 ms, wholesome society, and
progressive government; by carrying out in my own life the
principles of honesty, loyally and service.
We welcome to our graduation exercises those under
whose supervision and with whose untiring efforts and co-op-
eration we have succeded in our high school career, the sup-
erintendent. faculty, and the school board.
Although many times in our school days, your interpreta-
tion of ideas varied widely from ours, yet we can now look
back and see how you have been like a light that lud us on-
ward.
Two things are necessary in successful school training:
the school policy and the personal touch. It is this idea that
\rthur Guiteman brings out in his poem. “Education”
EDUCATION
Mark Hopkins sat on one end of a log
And a farm boy sat on the other.
Mark Hopkins came as a pedagogue
And taught as an elder brother.
1 don’t care what Mark Hopkins taught—
If his Latin was small anil his Greek was naught—
For the farmer’s boy he thought, thought he,
10
THE YEAR BOOK
All through the lecture time and quiz,
’The. kind of a man I mean to be
Is the kind of a man Mark Hopkins is!”
Philosophy, languages, medicine, law,
Are peacock feathers to deck the daw,
If the boys who come from your splendid schools
Are well-trained sharpers or llippanl fools.
You may brag of your age and your ivied walls.
Your great endowments, your noble halls
And all your modern features,
Your vast curriculms scope and reach
And the multifarious things you teach—
But how about the teacher?
Are they men who will stand in a father's place,
Who are paid, best paid, by the ardent face
When boyhood gives, as boyhood can.
Its love and faith Io a tine, true man?
.No printed page nor spoken plea
May teach young hearts what men should be—
Not all the books on all the shelves,
Bui what the teachers art1 themselves.
For education is: Making men;
So is it now, so was it when
Mark Hopkins sal on one end of a log
And a farm boy sat on the other.
In welcoming tin1 parents and townspeople here to-night
the < lass wishes Io thank you tor your interest and financial
support of Sanford High School. As I read. I find it is no lon-
ger thought necessary for the sons to follow their father’s
trade as in the olden days. Sons of to-day are given a chance
Io choose their own vocation in our public high schools which
are to-day very near the great mass of people who are de-
manding more and more that when their grandchildren grad-
uate from high school they shall be equipped with an educa-
tion either to pursue higher studies, or Io earn their own liv-
ing. 'Chis fact is shown by the increase in our school from
IGG pupils in I91A Io 300 pupils in 1922. With such a large
increase in the past eight years, surely in the next ten years
there will be need of a high school twice as large as the pres-
ent one. The question now arises is it necessary Io meet the
expensive dementi of equipping the boys and girls of Sanford
with a secondary education?
Sanford High School is the highest department of our
local public educational system. II is a democratic institution
sustained by all the people for all the people. The general
aim of il is Io train boys and girls for self-advancement and
personal pleasure, and Io become useful members of the com-

munity where they live, to promote good citizenship in the
broadest sense of the word.
Professor Reynolds of H endrich College says that high
school is necessary in order to meet more complex problems
incident to a more complex age. It is also necessary because
the students of today are the citizens of tomorrow.
If land is not planted this year, it may be next. The pro-
ductive qualities remain. But if tin* mind be wholly neglected
during the period most proper for its cultivation, its vital
powers perish.
“Were half the power that fills the world with terror,
Were half the wealth bestowed on camps and courts,
(iiven to redeem the human mind from error.
There were no need of arsenals nor forts.”
Therefore it is the business of the people of Sanford and
the high school of today to popularize* secondary education. If ae
cording Io our class motto our aim is success, the best way Io
achieve it is through our school.
BETH BEXNETT
VALEDICTORY AND ESSAY—The Student and the Locomotive
Life is like a mountain railroad,
With an engineer that’s brave.
We must make the run successful
Erorn the cradle Io the grave
Watch the curves, the tills, the lunmds.
Never falter, never quail
Keep your hand upon the throttle
And your eye upon tin* rail.
The locomotive and the student! The machine shop and
the schoolroom! What a resemblance between them!
In the machine shop the various parts of a locomotive are
made, molded and fitted together in order to produce the com-
plete engine. The small mils and screws made by the •machin-
ist must receive just as much attention proportionately as the
large wheels. The engine when complete is Io represent to the
universe the skillful work of the men who have labored and
helped to produce it.
So, our High School is a machine shop where bits of
knowledge are gathered together. Although we think some of
the ideas and thoughts which come up in our school life are of
minor importance we find that they are the ones w hich must be
mastered with accuracy and efficiency. Commencement is the
lime when our finished article is brought forth to prove Io our
parents. Io our teachers, and Io the public that their time, labor.
and money have not been expended in vain. We should show
them that their investments are yielding interest and dividends
to them as well as profit to us.
12
THE YEAR BOOK
Before lhe locomotive cun prove its true worth to the uni-
verse it must have some goal toward which it travels. The des-
tination of the train is many miles away and is never in sight
when the locomotive starts. Mountains which seem to be en-
tirely impassable have to be crossed. However well a locomo-
tive may be made it cannot, be of any use unless it has power
behind it to push it onward. Neither can a student who has
had excellent preparation in school expect to go forward in
lhe world if he does not use energy behind that preparation.
If seeming barriers had served as impediments the mountains
and plains in the western part of our country would never
have been crossed. If we have no goal when we are ready to
start on life's journey how shall we ever expect to attain suc-
cess. Our ambitions must be lofty and worthwhile. The ob-
structions which arc put on our path must be over come.
Someone has said that greatness comes only to those who seek
not how to avoid obstacles but how to overcome them. Suc-
cess cannot be given as a gift. Effort and energy are required
to gain our aim and success in life.
The locomotive cannot start out on its journey until rails
are laid. Worn and imperfect rails cannot be used. They
must be clean ami smooth without a flaw of any kind. Care
is required in the laying of the rails as well as in the making
of lhe locomotive. Our ideals or rails upon which we are to
travel must also be of only the highest type, a type (hat will
lead us to be true Americans and to help uplift our country.
Our ideals must guide us along our course in life as a rail
guides the locomotive.
A locomotive starts out on these rails and finally as it is
nearing the station has a whistle blown to announce to the
people its approach. How absurd it seems to the crowd to see
a locomotive pulling into the station with only a caboose and
passenger car behind it. making a loud, deep sounding noise.
Just so absurd does it seem to have a student go forth and
make idle boasts when his preparation is inadequate and his
ideals are not of the highest type.
So the student leaving his Alma Mater is in many respects
lhe same as a locomotive on its first run: his ambitions corres-
pond Io the far off station ami his ideals to the rails.
Schoolmates of Sanford High School, we, the class of 1923
are gathered here tonight just on the eve of our departure in-
to the great world of opportunity. We shall never foget lhe
days we spent with yon in Sanford High and lhe good times
we have had together. May you have much success througout
lhe remainder of your school life and also when you take up
life's great opportunities.
II is just such a time as this members of the faculty of
Sanford High School that we fully realize lhe cost of lhe many
hours you have worked overtime with us. You have always

given them unreservedly that we might reap the gain. Tonight
we hid you adieu but may we always share a place on a page
of your book of memory.
To the schoolboard, parents and Io the other friends of
the school we wish to give our sincere thanks. It is only now
when we begin to help in our town and community that we can
show our full appreciation of all that has been given to make
our life in Sanford High School a pleasure and a success.
Many are the times, deal* parents, that you have sacrificed that
we might have a high school education. May we, as we go
forth, help to pay our large debt of gratitude to you by doing
the best we possibly can with our talents and education.

Again and again we have met together as a class but now
we shall go forth into different parts of the world, not as a
class lull as individuals. trying Io do our work faithfully and
trying to help others. Although we shall never he united
again corporeally as the class of 1923 yet we can be united
spiritually by always carrying before us that motto which is

PROLOGIE
Friends, schoolmates and parents, in behalf of the Class
of 1923 1 extend a most cordial ami sincere welcome, to tin*
exercises of this evening.
How often during the past four years we have looked for-
ward to this night with eager yearnings a burning desire for
the future. But tonight let us go back over a few of our ex-
periences, they have not all been pleasures I assure you.
At times despair and discouragement have faced us. the
future looked gloomy and black. To give up our hopes seemed
the easiest way out of our troubles but determination to win
has forced us on.
Some have been so attracted by pleasures of the present
that they wandered awhile from their studies But. brought
back to work by the nine week reminder, the report card, have
been able through the good fellowship of our teachers and
concientious work for ourselves Io look forward to graduation.
But now let us forget the trials and tribulations of our high
school days, and hold in our memory only Hie pleasures and
joys which far surpass the trials. But longer than these, will
remain with us the friendships which we have formed in our
high school days.
First, tonight, is our modern Joseph Addison, although a
very <piiet observer, has not failed to record the incidents
which have taken place in the four year journey of our class.
Mr. Allen Jagger our historian will relate these Io you.
14
THE YEAR BOOK
Knowing Brill s fondness for the footlights find his love to
voice his opinion, we have given him a chance Io combine
these with his knowledge in his famous oration. Mr. Howard
Reid, our orator.
With such a history as is Io be related Io you, I am sure
you will see why it has been necessary for us Io change from
the customary way of having one prophet foretell our future.
We have chosen two sooth-sayers, both noted for inside know-
ledge of facts, unknown Io other people, such as why Miss
Flanders has curly hair one day and straight hair the next or
for what Hooper was sent Io the office yesterday, or which
girl Mr. Davis was out with last night. Mr. Mahlon Rowe and
Mi’. Henry Hunt, our prophets.
I really nerd not name this speaker as 1 am sure this lit-
tle scene will identify him. The first jitney of the morning
arrives, he gets out. lakes bis books to Room 201, goes down
to 207 and glances in the door, then disappears. A girl glan-
ces up, and soon she disapears, later both are seen in “Romeo”
corner. Mr. Waller Garth will give statistics for girls.
Although interested in girls athletics you will learn from
her statistics that she lias hern interested also in certain mem-
bers of the boys teams. Miss Ernestine Roberts will give sta-
tistics for boys.
We would have thought it unfair Io have given this duly
Io anyone else except Hooper who has been storing up gifts in
his desk all this year, little green frogs, wire glasses, any
number of children’s playthings could be found there. To-
night Mr Everett Hooper as he previously expressed it. will
make himself miserable, distributing these miserable gifts to
the miserable girls.
Practice makes perfect and we are sure that our next
speaker has had practice enough Io be well versed about boys
in general. Miss Dorothy Colby will present gifts to boys.
The last speaker which T introduce will perform the last
duty of our class, the distributing of our earthly and some
seemingly unearthly possessions which we must leave when
we leave Sanford High. Mr. Rudolph Mailhot will read our
last will and testament.
I hope you will enjoy with us these exercises tonight and
T wish to thank al this time lhe faculty and any others who
have helped to make our high school course a success.
Carolyn Bartlett Libbev.

CUSS HISTORY
History, as you know, lias a way <»f making itself very dif-
ficult Io commit to memory so I am taking lhe liberty of
bringing this small notebook for refenence.
At the close of lhe last year of high school it is customary
anti often necessary that lhe students, boys especially, choose
THE YEAR ROOK
15
their future vocations; some to take llo* verv remunerative ov-
emit jobs, some the literary work and some, of the many pro-
fessional jobs. With mo il is already decreed that 1 should be
an historian. At first there was some question as Io whether
1 should write a History of the World War or of our own be-
loved country, but this also was decided for me, that I should
write the history of the class of 1923 of Sanford High School.
The history of our class begins in September 1919 with a
roll of about one hundred students. The following officers
were elected to hold office for the freshman year: President
Garth Koch, Vice President James Mullins. Secretary and
Treasurer Miss Lona Johnson and ('.lass Advisor Miss Arm-
strong. The colors Blue and Hold were chosen as the class
colors and have remained our choice throughout our four
years.
We began our sophomore year with James Mullins as
President. Henry Mitchell Vice President. Miss Lona Johnson.
Secretary and Treasurer, and Miss Jordan (’lass Advisor.
The following were elected Io hold office for Hie junior
year: President Allen Jagger. Vice President Henry Mitchell.
Secretary and Treasurer Miss Lona Johnson. and (’.lass Advis-
or Miss Jordan. W e had one new student this year. Mr. Ev-
erett Hooper, one who has added very much Io our athletic
teams and has shown himself Io be a “live wire.’’ Tw o Aery
important cases began this year, the Russell Hoodrich case
and the Bennett Garth case.
Most histories have some black spot Io mar the pages and
this history is no exception Io the rule: al tin* end of our jun-
ior year on one very dark night, four of our number, Clifford
Saunders. Lee Stoddard, Clyde Buller, and Jack Leach were
kidnapped and taken by automobile nearly Io .Millon Mills and
left there to come home by that slow bid sure means of travel,
walking.
At the beginning of the senior year Allen Jagger avhs
chosen President. Arthur Nutter Vice President. Miss Beth
Bennett Secretary. Miss Mildred Russell Treasurer .and Miss
Jordan Class Advisor. The Russell—Goodrich and the Ben-
nett—Garth cases were continued this year with renewed vig-
or. We had some new members Ibis year. Karl Illigen. Jef-
frey Francoeur, Rodolph Mailhot and Clyde Chamberlain. A
few' of the events of this our last year were: Robert Cook and
Rodolph Goulet cast aside their short knickerbockers and
adorned themselves in long trousers. Miss Elvira Johnson
and Elizabeth Pence created a disturbance by bobbing their
hair, and Karl Illigen. Jeffrey Francoeur and Everett Hooper
much to their own discomfort sal in puddles of waler in Room
201.
The class play, “Fifty-Fifty,” another activity of the class
lt>
THE YEAR ROOK
was a very great success mid proved to (lie public that we have
some talented actors and actresses in our class.
From our class of sixty-five. Miss Elsie Stansfield won the
valedictory mid Miss Beth Bennett the salutatory.
This is the end of the history of this group of students;
probably I have left out many facts of the past which should
have been related mid I leave the history of their future lives
to Mr. Henry Hunt mid Mr. Mahlon Rowe who are known the
world over for the truthful outcome of their prophecies.

CLASS PROPHECY
It’s certainly been a long lime since we met each other.
Just think, it was ten years ago tonight that we, with our
classmates graduated from Sanford High. I have found
what many of our classmates are doing.
Sit down and tell me of those whom you met on your
late trip. 1 can recall what the “stay at homes’’ are doing.
Well. I suppose I might as well tiegin at the very begin-
ning. Late last summer 1 went to France. When I ar-
rived in France whom should I meet lint Lorette Roy.
know n as Mrs. Ellis Leach. I found that Jack and Loretta
are both on the stage giving exhibition dancing Lorette
told me (bat Madeline Duro is her house maid.
I suppose Jack is still a would-be-dude. Say, Teen
Roberts is living quietly at .Mount Hope. She lias recently
pul a wireless fence around her yard in order to keep the
chickens al home.
I left France and Spain was my next stop. 1 arrived at
Madrid. On that day they were having a bull fight and as
I nex er had seen one before, I decided to attend. A man
came out dressed in a brilliant Spanish regalia. Around
his waist was a bright red sash. T finally recognized him
as being one of our classmales; Jeffrey Franceour. I re-
membered then, that he was our Spanish
Yes. Jeff always was a wonderful Spanish athlete.
I left Spain and went down to King-Tut’s tomb. I ar-
rived al the port of Alexandria. From there I took a trip
down the Nile. On Un* boat was James Dickinson. He
was piloting the boat and told me that he was working till
he could find someone that would marry him.
Poor- Dick! Was he wearing knickers? And say, Ruth
Webber has .just married a minister from Newfield.
A minister?
Yes, and she is a great help to her husband, as she plays
the organ on Sunday, piano at prayer meetings and in be-
tween times she visits the sick. Did you see anybody
else?

H. Getting oil the boat whom should I meet but Rudolph
Goulet. He said that ..........
R. Said ............ Said. Yes, Tilly always was saving
something.
H. He said, that he had learned how to make a Ford run
without spark plugs.
H. Oh, Donald Ridley was successful in his recent cam-
paign. Twice a year he packs his carpet bag and travels
to Washington to represent the Pine Tree State.
H. Tombs are for the dead not for the living, so I did not
stay in Egypt very long. I left Egypt and went to Japan.
R. Where next?
H. Say, how many more times are you going to interrupt
me? I’ve got over 10,000 miles Io go and here you have
me stranded in Japan. Now keep quiet a minute.
Just think, all Hie way from Egypt to Japan 1 did not
meet any of our classmates. Hut in Japan I met Clyde
Butler; he is now running an institute for Japanese girls.
And Ernestine Day, Adclene Goodrich and Carra Johnson
are all teachers under him. Ernestine teaches the Japan-
ese, English. Adeline teaches them how Io dress their
hair and Carra is teacher in Home Economics.
R. I never thought I hat our classmates would ever go away
from Sanford.
H. Philippines was my next country. Walking down the
streets of Manila I met Grace IJbh'y and Gertrude Jewell.
They are doing seer darial work for the government.
From them I learned that Clara Edgecomb, Reta Roberts
and Addie Buller are still grass widows in Hawaii, and are
waiting till some Sanford fellows come along and then..
......of course you know the rest.
R. Since you mentioned those girls I remember seeing
Pauline Lauziere in Eastwood. She won many medals in
typewriting at school and at present she is winning more
medals as her occupation is a life guard for a sinking fund.
H. Time was Hying and I had only seen a few of my class-
mates so I left them and started for good old U. S. A. I
landed at San Francisco. There 1 met Bob Cook. You
couldn’t imagine what he was doing? He said that he
was linesman for a wireless telegraph company.
R. What, was he the only one you saw?
H. No. He asked me if 1 knew that Tena Reed was selling
button holes al $1. per pound? And that’s not all, he told
me that Beatrice Berry was horse back riding in a circus

Traffic cops!
Yes, and they may lose Ilnur jobs as they are near many
rider mills.
I left San Francisco and went tn Los Angeles. Could
yon imagine whom I met? Why, it was Clyde Chamber-
lain, known as our Rodolph Valentino and his wife Mae
Anctil both living happily. Clyde is slill trying Io vamp
I hr girls. Ami Mar, is just as bad as hr is.
1 heard that Koch is out there. Didn’t you see him?
Yes, he’s a minister of a deaf and dumb church at Sac-
ramento.
Honestly? Well. I was in California last year but I didn’t
get Io Sacnimrnlu. I stayed at Hollywood a night and I
was surprised Io see Ardelle Lessard, who is one of Mack
Bennett's bathing beauties. Ardelle told me that she re-
cently received a letter from Kippy Saunders. He is work-
ing for the Cracker Jack Company. His greatest delight
is pulling toys in the boxes.
That makes me think; when I arrived at New York
whom should I meet but Dot Colby. Dot is attending an
old maid's convention. She told me that Aubrey Pierce
and Elvira Johnson have just broken the marathon in
dancing
(H course, you know that Timmy Naylor and Everett
Hooper are in Colorado. They are in a carnival. Hooper
gracefully balances a pole on his nose. Thomas is the
human tly who perches on the lop of the pole. I didn’t
sec any others out West, except Mailhot who was tramp-
ing through the country roads of Utah.
When I got to Boston I read an advertisement of one of the
theatre’s. The name of the show was “Why Flappers
Flap?" The leading members of the cast were Beth Ben-
nett and Elsie Stansfield. Who ever thought that they
would go on the stage.
Now for those who stayed at home.
A Lyceum Course recently arrived in Springvale and
Minnie Carter was in an Hawaiian scene. Her jet black
hair and graceful movements made her a favorite. The
audience even stopped chewing gum when she came on
the stage.
.lust imagine when I got home, I met “Beany” Good-
rich and Mildred Russell. Beany had two dozen bananas
in his hand. They were both getting on the car, and I
supposed that they were going Io the beach, but “Vic”
Morris who has joined the “Hello” Girls told me that
Beany and Mildred were just leaving for their honeymoon
And Mullins, I found in charge of a fruit store in Shap-
leigh. I happened to go past the store recently and found
him sitting in an indescribable position. I did not dare

disturb him us 1 new lhal any oilier position would be
painfull.
II. And say, did you know lhal Hligen was shining shoes at
Alfred jail. And they told me lhal Bernice Hurl is out in
Westbrook keeping house. She is another one who be-
came a victim of that Marriage fever. They say she now
weighs about 200 pounds.
R. In the W aterboro Midnight Frolics 1 found Wenonah
Flanders and Elizabeth Pence dancing in lhe front row.
And Lillian Taylor was ticket seller. Lillian was still
chewing gum.
IL 1 hud a letter from Ruth Garvin yesterday. Ruth is a
fireman on u trolley cur and she said that Myrtle. Stilphen
is working in a Hol Hog factory. Say, what has become
of Leavitt and Carpenter?
R. Well, Leavitt and Carrie Libbey got married nearly two
years after school closed. They found life to be intoler-
able when separated so joined lor better or worse. And
Carpenter is in charge of his own dairy farm. I noticed
“Carpie' had not gamed in weight so 1 concluded that he
should drink more of his own cream and think less of fat-
tening his own bunk account.
H. Have you seen Joe Heid lately?
N. lit; still shows his acting ability, for early in lhe
morning he can he seen posting show advertisments on
the billboards between Sanford and Springvale.
H. Seen anything of . textile bunch?
R. Yes. 1 heard that Miller is working in one of the Lad-
ies stores in Springvale. He is especially good on selling
......hair pins. And Gowen is still living on lhe farm
hul he had found out how to milk a cow by electricity.
R. W ho else is there? Uh yes, Sis Johnson continues to
look for a man. In the meantime she has a studio
where she teaches students how lo play the Bug-pipes.
And Alice Day is causing much talk as she is a Spring-
vale Flapper.
H. And Walt Garth and Frances Bennett! Why, ‘after ten
years of engagement they entered lhe state of Matrimony.
And Henry Mitchell has received his degree in engineer-
in and is wheeling smoke up the Goodall Worsted chimney.
R. Why we have forgot Allan Jagger, our class president.
I was over at Acton Corner last evening. A local dra-
matic club was acting out The Spoiled Darling. I secured
a seat and imagine my surprise when I saw as the vil-
lian, with vengeance in Ids eye and dandruff in his mus-
tache. Emma Garrigan was his leading lady. At the end,
Emma came toddling on lhe stage and really shot Allan
stone dead.
H. Stone dead!

STATISTICS FOR HIE BOYS OF 1923
It was after graduation, and I was spending my summer
vacation with my Aunt at her home in Los Angeles, California.
During the time I was there, I had become acquainted with
several girls that were about my age. As those girls were
very vivacious and energetic, of course I was somew hat affect-
ed by them and was always willing to try something new.
I was very eager to ride in an aeroplane, but I had never
had the privilege until I became acquainted with a young av-
iator. noted for his daring and desperate performances in the
air. To him I confided my aspirations. At once he agreed to
teach me what he knew about the aeroplane: and after a few-
months of continuous effort. 1 had learned all that was neces-
sary about the machine.
When I felt sure of my safety in going alone, I decided to
try it. I knew’ that I could no more than be killed. So I
donned my aviator’s suit and went out to the Hangar, which
was situated in the middle of a large field. I was soon started
in my Hight, ami no other girl in the world could have been
happier than I was at that moment. Up and up. higher and
still higher, until the cities and towns, fields and hills gave
just the impression of a many-colored mosaic. I was all right.
ami everything went smoothly until something snapped and I
was headed at full sped straight for the ground and for des-
truction.
1 renlly do not know how, but in some way the machine
and I became seperated, and I felt sure that my lime was up.
So I prayed hard, harder than ever before. In the course of my
descent. I came to a sudden half. This caused me Io blink my
eyes and look about me. maybe for the last lime. To my sur-
prise. instead of being near the ground. I had been caught by
my clothes in the topmost branches of a Sequoi tree and there
I was. suspended hundreds of feel from the ground, without
anyone in sight that I could signal Io for help. I tried in ev-
ery possible way Io grasp the branches behind me. either
with my hands, or with my feet hoping that in this way. 1
could save myself. But it couldn’t be done. I did not dare to

wiggle much because 1 knew that I would fall; so I decided
that I must slay there until someone should come and give
me aid.
In moments of great danger the oddest of ideas will come
to a person, and flash after each other in quick succession.
Hanging there in mid-air. 1 glanced about me, the beauties of
nature being the farthest thoughts from my mind. 1 was look-
ing squarely into the beautiful blue sky above me, and never
before had it seemed to me so blue. Then strangely enough
I was impressed with the brilliant golden rays of the sun,
which almost dazzled me. Like a flash it came to me, that vis-
ion of the Blue and Gohl -the colors of my dear old class of
1923, the class colors which I shared with sixty-four other
members of Sanford High School. My thoughts were turned
especially to the boys, many of them, one by one, I could re-
member something definite about each individual.
At just this moment 1 saw in the distance several moving
shadow’s which proved Io be my rescuers. My suffering and
fears were over. Brief, indeed had my adventure been, yet
long enough to enable me to give to vou mv arrangement, of the

Ladies and gentlemen. while I was wandering along down

days gone by as a baby carriage. It was hitched to a tele-
phone pole out in front of Johnson’s pool room. It contained
many curious objects and therefore I became inquisitive, and
upon examining the contents I discovered it contained gifts for
the girls of the graduating class of 1923. After many toils
and much hardships I succeeded at last in getting this magni-
ficent machine up here ami I take great pleasure in present-

GIFTS TO BOYS
After leaving Sanford High School 1 took up my abode in
the town of Lenox, Massachusetts. While there I became
once more interested in the game of golf it being one of the
major sports at Sanford High School while I was there). One
morning in November on opening my mail I received a noti-
fication of the 1923 class reunion which was to be held in
Southern Pinea, North Carolina, in January at which time
three of our champion golf players namely, Garth Koch, Aub-
rey Pierce, Ronald Ridley, would compete against the best
player in the United States.
At the stated lime we arrived in Southern Pines and af-
ter having held our first class meeting for several years we
waited with great interest the banquet which was to be held
in the Southern Pines Hotel on Maine Slate Avenue. Having
lived in Southern Pines before, I made arrangements with one
of the plantation owners (whom 1 knew) to furnish us with
the largest and most luscious watermelon on the place.
The night of the banquet arrived and having reached the
last course on the bill of fare, I, the toast master, arose and ad-
dressing the boys said. “Fellow Classmates, we will now cut
the melon for the Class of 1923.” Seizing the knife I proceeded
to cut out a piece and behold to the first piece was attached
a tag which read as follows: In this melon has been grown
the gifts for the boys of 1923 to be distributed by you at their
class reunion.
Boys of the Class of 1923 let us devour its contents.

THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF HIE CLASS OF 1923
Ladies and Gentlemen, Board of Education, Superintendent,
Teachers, and Friends:—-
In behalf of my client, the class of 1923, of Sanford High
School, Sanford, Maine. I have called you together upon this
solemn and serious occasion, to listen to her last will ami tes-
tament, and to receive from her dying hands the few gifts she
has to bestow in her last moments.
THE YEAR BOOK
31
Owing to the flighty condition of tier brain, and the unus-
ual disturbance in its gray matter, she begs me to state for
tier that she may possibly nave been mistaken in her inven-
tory; but such things as she thinks she has, she hereby gives
into your possession, praying that you will accept them as a
sacred trust from one who has gone before.
Listen then, one and all, while 1 read the document as
duly drawn up and sworn to: —
We, the class of ld?3, in G5 individuals and distinct parts,
being about to pass out of this sphere of education in full pos-
session of a crammed mind, well trained memory, and almost
superhuman understanding, do make and publish this, our
last will and testament, hereby revoking anti making void all
former wills or promises by us at any time heretofore made,
or, mayhap, carelessly spoken, one to the other, as the thought-
less wish of an idle hour.
And first we do direct that our funeral services shall be
conducted by our friends and well-wishers, our superintend-
ent and his all-wise and ever competent faculty, who have
been our guardians for so long, only asking, as the last injunc-
tion of the dying, that the funeral be carried on with all the
dignity and pomp that our worth as Seniors must certainly
deserve.
We give and bequeath to the dear faculty, who have been
our instructors in all the wisdom of the ages, a sweet unbrok-
en succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. It has
been a hard strain on them, for Seniors are said to be at all
times difficult to manage.
We give and bequeath to our Superintendent, Mr. Hamlin,
our sincere gratitude and respect.
To Mr. Boston, our Principal, we give and bequeath our
grateful and heartfelt thanks for his constant and ever friend-
ly assistance during the year that we have worked together,
and the assurance that the thought of our association will al-
ways be one of the pleasant memories of our S. H. S. days.
To Miss Margaret Jordan, our Class Advisor, we will and
bequeath our hearty appreciation for her untiring and friend-
ly cooperation in our Academic and social life during the last
three years of our high school course.
We give and bequeath to Sanford High school as a whole
the dear old song given to us by Mr. Wheeler, on condition
that it be used to good advantage.
We give and bequeath to the Junior Class all such boys
as were not able to keep pace with such brilliant girls as com-
pose the majority of our class, trusting that the Junior girls
may be able Io hold firmly to them and steer them safely next
year through the gates of commencement.
The following may seem but trifling bequests, but we hope
they may be accepted, not as worthless things but as valuable
assets to those who may receive them.

we may have left behind us in the excitement and haste or
gathering up our cherished treasures for the last limp.
Last comes the one thing hard for us to part with. To our

thoughts of our Principal and teachers.
So we do hereby constitute and appoint the said Principal
sole executor of this our last will and testament.
Tn witness Whereof. We, the Class of 1923. the testators,
have to this last will and testament, set our hands and seal.
