CLASS HISTORY
A face peeps in at the door of a Senior French Class. A few seconds
later the door opens cautiously and a head pops inside.
“Is this the Freshman English class?” inquires a timid voice.
Hilarious laughter drowns out the teacher’s reply. Cautioning the class
she hastens solicitiously into the hall only to catch a glimpse of fleeing legs
and a crimson neck.
Thus as Freshmen, in 1928 we made our debut into Sanford High.
The first unusual thing which our class did. unusual because we did not
follow precedent, was to elect for our president a person of feminine gender,
Helen Gowen.
There followed weeks of adjustment and obscurity. Again our class
burst into the limelight at the Freshman Social, but this time in a different
manner from the first. With quaking hearts and a desire to please we pre-
sented a program including two sketches, “Rocking Chair Row” and a scene
from “Birds’ Christmas Carol.”
The following week came the Interclass Tract Meet. How elated we
were when we won the banner for best attendance I
By our Sophomore year we had become acquainted with the personalities
of our classmates. We opined that those two inseparable friends, Pelletier
and “Hammie”, were to be the center of most activities, mischievous or other-
wise. Two other kindred spirits of a more reserved nature we discovered in
“Dottie” and Virginia. The “Three Musketeers.” Sybil, Martha and “Ankle.”
composed a witty trio.
Our class has been foremost not so much in sports as in a literary way.
Mary Shapleigh, a member of our class who graduated in the class of 1931,
won the first prize in the State Literature Contest with her poem “Winter.”
During her Junior year, as the literary editor of the “Red and White.” she
contributed many poems to our school paper. In the contest sponsored by
the Thomas W. Cole Post of the American Legion. Gladys Travis won first
prize with her essay “Keeping America American.” Dorothy Symonds,
who joined the ranks of our class the Senior year, coming from Hyannis.
Mass., won the first prize in the American Legion essay contest, Irene Ben-
nett receiving second prize.
There was one student in our class whom we were all sorry to have
leave us, even though it was for a wonderful opportunity. Elaine Blouin.
Because of the exceptionally beautiful quality of her voice, she won a schol-
arship at the Curtis Institute of Music. Philadelphia. Some day we hope
to hear her in opera.
In the annual speaking contest Ethel Nevison in her Senior year won
first prize among the girls with her dramatization of “A Fool of a Man.”
Warren Collins, one of the quietest members of our class, has proved
himself adept at a game which suits his personality. Representing York
County in a checker contest he competed with the champion player of the
United States, the result being a draw.

THE SENTINEL
The York County Shorthand and Typing Contest at Biddeford gave Rose
Shalhoup an opportunity to prive her efficiency. Competing in the Class B
typing contest and the shorthand contest she won first prize in both, bringing
a silver loving-cup back to Sanford High.
Although we did not give a Senior Class play, the dramatics class pre-
sented the play “Penrod” with a cast including eleven Seniors:—Frank Clark,
Sybil Senior, Lawrence Pelletier, Dorothy Symonds, Gladys Travis, Ashley
Logan, Gladys Gillings, George Lewis, Voden Tucker. Clifton Bemis, and
Anna Murphy.
Although we look back with many happy memories to our days at San-
ford High, we realize that the way of life is forward, not backward and that
another class is ready to take our place. We will always keep a friendly
interest in Sanford High and wish the future classes the best of success
and happiness in all their undertakings.
“And not by eastern windows only
When daylight comes, comes in the light.
In front the sun climbs slow, how slowly.
But westward, look, the land is bright.”

PART I
Glendale Academy opened the second week in September with the usual
display of excited youths arrayed in suits of the latest style. Busses came
and went. New pupils arrived from far and near. A heavy car bearing
the license of a state in the far south drew up before the main entrance.
A boy leaped from the tonneau, kissed a faded old lady, and waved a fare-
well at the leather-visored chauffeur. Then, with suitcase dangling from
a long arm. he sprang up the stone steps and shouldered his way through
the mass of students about the archway. Thus did George Baybridge enter
Glendale.
On the' second day of school Coach Lane called for grid candidates. The
boys answered wholeheartedly, for football at Glendale wasn’t a sport; it
was a religion.
Lane met Baybridge in the corridor the following day. The boy’s easy
movements, the strongly-built body, and the square shoulders thrown back
in perfect posture did not escape the mentor’s practised eye.
“Pardon me, but aren’t you a newcomer?” asked Lane.
“Why, yes, sir, I am,” replied Baybridge smilingly.
“Didn’t report for practice, eh?” Lane inquired.
“I’m not interested in athletics,” the boy replied. “Excuse me, Coach.
... er. I mean sir.” he hastened to add. as he turned quickly away.
A puzzled man watched the youth disappear down the hall.
During the days that followed. George, repeatedly declining all advances
of the athletes, gradually earned the disapproval of the entire student body
and at length found himself alone. Broken only by the kindly companion-
ship of his roommate, loyal Fred Marbury, Baybridge’s life became a solitary
routine. All outside activities for him ceased; his studies were his world;
and long walks by the river, his only recreation. The October “Clarion” en-
tered a deadly stab at the big freshman for his lack of school spirit. The
gossip which reached his ears was not complimentary. One bit of news
found the boy’s rooms: and in their privacy, with grim face and in silence.
the occupant digested the insulting remarks. He was accused of cowardice.
The timely arrival of a senior had saved a drowning swimmer from certain
death when Baybridge failed to rescue him from the water. Certainly the
big youth, found white-faced and shaking by the river bank, had turned
yellow.
Baybridge was not the only person whom life was treating harshly.
Coach I.ane was worried. His team was not doing well: and State, Glen-
date’s traditional rival, was yet to be played. When, ten days before the
game. Glendale’s best full-back suffered a broken leg. anxiety settled over
the campus. Never was school spirit so intense. Lane drove his men like
slaves to mold a suitable team for the crucial game with State. Burt, his
new full, gave trouble. He was inexperienced and was not the man for the
position.

Every afternoon for a week, with clock-like punctuality, a young student
appeared to watch the team practice. Every formation received minute
scrutiny from the unobserved spectator. A notebook came into use, and
plays were written down with exactness.
The night before the State contest, as George Baybridge was looking for
a pencil, he knocked a box to the floor. His roommate gave an exclamation
of surprise at the small metal emblem it contained. His questioning look
brought forth an interesting story from George. Fred, stretched on a divan.
sat upright at the conclusion of the tale. Wonder masked his face as he
watched his chum leave the room.
PART II
It was nearly time for the game to begin. For hours crowds had been
swarming into the bowl. Resplendent in green and white suits, an entire
cheering squad from State had arrived and filled the east section of the
stands. Cries arose as the teams came out on the field. The red and white
plavers of Glendale, as they sprinted onto the browning turf, brought forth
a thunderous ovation from the fans. Somewhere a band started to play, and
the cries of a peanut vendor were lost in the roar of the growing crowd.
Lane called his men about him on the sidelines and gave them instruc-
tions.
“Today we’ll make up for the defeats of other years, men. I’m depend-
ing on you to fulfill my greatest ambition: beat State! There is only one
way to do that: play football!”
Lane stood up. A whistle shrilled.
“All right, men. onto the field.”
Amid the cheers, he found his little stool and watched his men line up on
the field. The whistle sounded. The game was on.
Shedding his shirt collar and wiping a perspiring brow, the radio an-
nouncer exclaimed. “Well, folks, my throat is hoarse and my collar soiled,
but am I seeing a ball game!” “It’s running into the third quarter, and the
score’s still 0-0. This is some game! Those State terriers are right on
Glendale’s goal line, but they can’t make it. The red and white have thrown
them back a dozen times.”
The third quarter loomed. Glendale stood in the shadow of her goal and
fought her enraged opponent. Then, by a quick punt. State found herself
in her own territory, fighting desperately.
“If I live to get out of here,” continued the announcer, raising his voice
above the roar, “I’m coming right back to see another struggle, folks. This
is anybody’s ball game; and believe me! it’s some game! Score’s still 0-0,
and the fans are going crazy from excitement. That Glendale full seems
to be tiring. There, he’s down! A big State tackle nailed him ! He can’t
get up! Lane is on the field and attendants are carrying the player off.
He’s hurt badly.
Biting his lips and screwing his face into a grimace. Lane watched the
limp figure being taken to the dressing room. Brushing a suspicious mois-
ture from his cheek, the coach turned to the referee and started to speak;
then he stopped as a hand clutched his sleeve. A voice pleaded; Lane’s face
worked in astonishment; he demurred; then he nodded his head.

In his cupola above the stands, the radio announcer droned on, “There
seems to be trouble. There’s a substitution for Burt, full back who was just
injured. New player, number 13. is going in. Name’s Baybridge. He’s
on the field now, warming up. There, the game’s on!’’
“It is the first of the fourth. Score s still 0-0. State’s ball is on Glen-
dale’s twenty-two yard line. There goes a hard center smash—no gain.
Here’s the second down—left tackle plunge—two yards........That new
Glendale nailed the runner then. He hit him squarely, too. Here’s State’s
third attempt. It’s a spinner! No. it's a short pass over the open center!
It’s good for nearly twenty yards. It is coming down on Glendale’s five
yard marker! Wait! a red and white player is plunging down. He’s into
the air! He’s got the ball from the very fingers of a State receiver! He’s
going like the wind! He’s twisting like an eel! He’s breaking clear now;
he’s shot ahead. Oh ! he’s stumbled, and a State man is on him_________
No, he’s squirmed free again. He's staggered across the goal line. There,
he’s fallen. What! He can’t get up! The Glendale coach is leaning over
him. The fans are crazy with excitement. That number 13 surely made a
wonderful run. He’s a find! The game’s over, folks. Glendale won —6-0.
It was a great contest.” ............
A swift ambulance .... quiet ami whiteness everywhere . . . .solitude,
painful and restless .... soft whispers. A hand touched George Bay-
bridge’s white sleeve. He opened his eyes; then he looked up and smiled.
Fred Marbury’s eyes were misty as he clutched his friend’s hand. Words
were clumsy things; silence served best. Lane, too, was there. As he came
forward, his face beamed with admiration. Through a door behind them,
came a white-robed physician. He smiled at the sick boy’s gasp of amaze-
ment.
“Yes, Roy, it is I, in the flesh. I came up to sec the game. You know
I am an old Glendale man,’’ he continued, as he bent an expert glance at his
patient.
“How’s Mother, Doc?” Worry showed on Roy Springer’s face, pale and
worn from playing.
“She’s fine.” Doctor Baines replied, looking at Lane and Marbury.
“These men know who you are. Roy. It was a hard task you attempted, but
you came through without a flaw; and we are here to congratulate you.
Now you are due for a long rest before you play again. Your heart has
been pretty bad, you know. Really, you shouldn't have played.”
“He did, though,” added Lane. “So he is the Roy Springer of Lafayette
High. I always wanted to see him play—and now I have.”
Following Marbury to the door. Coach Lane looked toward the quiet
figure and said slowly, “We thought he was yellow, but he isn’t; he is true
blue.”

MY CAT
She sat there basking in the yellow sun,
Her eyes half-closed and blinking with the glare.
Dreamed she of deeds her ancestors had done?
What mystery lurked behind that idle stare?
How like a serpent, when with twitching tail
She crouched, then paused and sprang upon her prey!
And then with angry heart my face grew pale
To find a tiny bird—How still it lay!—
Dropped proudly at my feet.

for whom the recollections of Milton held no thrills; but the others appre-

DISILLUSIONS
I did not know where it came from nor why it was there; but, neverthe-
less, it was there—a strange and wonderful picture. It was a life size pro-
duction framed in carved wood. It was accurate in detail and almost hor-
rifying in its awful suggestion, it represented the face of a young girl
whose hair was very disheveled. The countenance was youthful but haggard
and sorrowful as though its owner had suffered some great grief. The eyes
were swollen and red; great tears made their way down the pale cheeks.
The large nose was tipped with crimson and the mouth drooped at the cor-
ners, as if it would never smile again.
I gazed for a moment on that unhappy, dejected, and melancholy face.
Then I realized that it was nothing but my own reflection in the mirror, I
who was suffering with a severe head cold.

LUNCH PERIOD
Do men eat to live or do they live to eat? If it is possible to judge such
questions by our school cafeteria, the question will be decided in the favor
of the latter.
As the bell rings in Mr. Grindle's 5th jyeriod English class, Pelletier rises
and slowly rambles out of the room ; in contrast, Anna Seamans, pushing and
crowding. It is a competition for the survival of the fittest. Hamlin usually
succeeds in obtaining a position near the front of the line and immediately
calls to Pelletier to come down and fill up all the room in front of him.
“Well, Hamlin, what will you have today?" asked Mrs. Berard.
“I don’t know, Pocohontas. 1 hadn’t-----------’’
“May I get by please?” asked Carrie Ford. And Hamlin very graciously
moves to one side.
“Pul-lease, boys, pul-ease,” says Dot Symonds as she makes a dramatic
gesture.
And so this continues all down through the line.
As we wend our way upstairs, we feel much better for having partaken

Never backward, always forward

APPEARANCES
From all outward appearances a copy of Stevenson's “Treasure Island*’
resembles the same sized edition of “Franklin’s Autobiography, but what
a difference there is when we have read that which lies between their covers.
It is the same with all books. A new. red checkered volume may attracf our
attention, while the old, gray, worn one never draws our second glance.
However, how little it is. after all. that we can tell from outward looks,
even in people I Then, certainly, if it is difficult to judge a person's char-
acter from his outward appearances, how much more difficult a task it must
be to judge a lifeless book! Thus it happens that often the best books are
laid aside and never used because their covers may be soiled or torn. How
many people too. are ignored, overlooked, and excluded from the society
of this life simply because their cothes, manners, or appearance may be at
fault. Therefore, let us resolve to know and understand thoroughly all per-
sons and things before we pass judgment upon them.

A BOMB
Shattered! Yes, absolutely and unconditionally smashed was the self
importance of the freshman class of 1929. To add insult to injury this terri-
ble blow was inflicted upon my class during an assembly. Ah, that fated
speaker who made such a humiliating statement to the freshman class. (Cer-
tainly 1 was a member of that class of “verdant’’ freshmen who are now
seniors.) Our pride in being one of the high school students, an attain-
ment for which we had plugged for eight years, was cruelly broken in a
few words by a man whom 1 do not remember by name. No, nor do we
need his title to recall him vividly. We were laughed at by all the students,
teachers and even that man himself could not restrain his rollicking spirit.
According to our enemy, he was in a shoe store one afternoon. While
waiting to have his repairing finished, he observed a senior enter the store.
A conversation was being carried on between the student and clerk when
another customer arrived. The senior was trying on a shoe suitable to an
individual of that standing. But, ah! The last customer was a freshman.
How did our enemy know.' Why it was written in huge letters across the
unfortunate countenance. The clerk was also a bright young chap and did
not need to ask the freshman’s shoe size. He immediately walked to the
rear of the store and returned with the BOMB.
“Now, sir,’’ exclaimed the clerk, “1 have just the fit for you.’’
The gratified freshman radiated his pleasure. Why, of course it wasn’t
hard to know what was proper for a high school student of his class. His
self-esteem was burst like a bubble when the clerk brought forth a baby’s
bootie. A baby's bootie ! ! The insult of it! Oh, these cruel hearted grown-
ups! Why cant they see the freshman's self-importance is just a cloak to
hide his sensitiveness of being ignorant ?

SNOWSTORMS
It is a cold, wintry, gloomy. wild, unmerciful night outside. I shudder
yet for joy and then draw my chair near to the fire. To me this storm
ot snow means pleasure; nu happiness in life all depends on it. The wind
howls and the snow beats against my window. The wild king of the win-
ter storm is at this height of power. 1 glance out of the window and peer
into the blackness beyond, only lighted by flakes of swirling snow.
tlod means the snow to cover u| my impurities of life, to make me into
a pure character again. This, to me. lovely storm in Maine, is meant to
make life and love safe for the poets of the world.
I have been dreaming and now I k»ok again out into the storm. Each

APRIL
Do not the first chirps of the birds outside the window in April inspire
the desire for another beginning? April is in reality the first month, since
it is the beginning of a new era. with new life and growth everywhere
springing into being. In this month the snow is gone from all but the places
hidden by shadows ; a fragrance comes with the air. Showers come without
warning but as quickly depart and leave the brown earth damp. Sunshine
swells the buds and brings forth flowers.
As the showers and April sunshine cause the flowers to bloom, so do
they revive us. Renewed in body and mind and soul we go forth and tackle
again our problems but how much stronger our energy! April is the herald
not only of new life but of new opportunity!
April and Spring are mirrored in the lovely lines of this poem by Dorothy
Tyler.
“There is nothing, you said
Like the blossom swell,
To make one gay and young and well.
A fragrance coming with the air.
To kiss in Spring the cheeks and hair.”

SHERLOCK HOLMES
“My. Holmes, what a beastly day! simpered Dr. Watson, as he and Sher-

day.
“Yes, yes, Watson, quite so, quite so. it was just such a day when 1
solved the great mystery. “Who put the Overalls in Mrs. Murphy’s Chow-
der.” spat out Holmes.
“It must have been four years ago. I was sitting in my room when the
telephone rang. 1 answered it and the voice of an excited woman met my
ears.
“Oh, sir. this is Mrs. Murphy. Come quickly, there’s a pair of overalls
in my chowder.”
“I got up. put on my cap. tucked my magnifying glass and a pouch of
tobacco into my breeches, and started out. When I arrived at the Murphy
house, the place was all in an uproar. The riot squad had been called out
and Philo Pantz, the famous American Criminologist was there. Watta

a piece of blue canvas sticking out under the lid.
“Oh. oh. perhaps it is too late! Oh. why didn’t I hurry. I might have

came the youngest of the Murphy family. Aloysious, drowned in cabbage

In stinging clouds of dirt and dust
And sweeps wayfarers off their feet
With each malevolent, spiteful gust.
In Bacchic orgies revels he
Whene’er his fickle fancy turns.
And whipping wildly o’er the deep.
Its waves to snow white charges churns.

THE AVERAGE HIGH SCHOOL
Of all the institutions in the world, whether in the Pygmy Islands or on
top of King Tilt’s tomb, I think the one that receives the most insults, en-
dures the severest names, and suffers the vilest complaints is the average
high school. If our high school building only had the power of speech, I do
not doubt that it could bring charges of slander against fifty per cent of
the entire student body (not excluding the faculty). Every form of demol-
ishment from the explosion of a bomb to the eruption of a volcano (although
there “ain’t no such thing” as a volcano around our vicinity) has been wished
for by many of our students. However, these taunts and tirades, these
frantic outbursts of temper do not seem to mar or even deface the counten-
ance of our school. Always it has the serene and calm face that varies so
greatly with the conglomeration of temperaments disclosed in the students’
faces. The first student may appear as if the world were coming to an end
almost any minute; the next as if he were not sure but wouldn’t doubt it any.
You would gather from looking over the student body that there was no
greater enemy to them than the building on whose floors they were stamp-
ing with vehement feet.
However, let us change our scenery and also the time. Now we are
gazing at a group of students bidding farewell to their high school in the
closing exercises of graduation. Unashamed tears well up in the eyes of
the group, and sobs choke their throats. In this brief lapse all hatred of
school has passed into oblivion and only pleasant memories remain. In all
minds rushes the same thought—“Never was there a better place than out
own high school.”

NOTES OE A SENIOR
Just a few jottings gathered at random during the classes of the stage
of Room No. 205. alias Mr. Rufus Grindle, ex-star of the faculty of Higgins
Classical Institute.
Personally. I think Mr. Grindle has been dining regularly on portions
of Webster’s Dictionary. What a vocabulary the oracle has! He can give
English derivations as quickly as we can think up phoney definitions for
English structure.
“Lawrence” Pelletier is the class debater and orator. He has never
been known to lose an argument in class. True, he has been halted in his
vociferous march. Rut defeated? Never!
Robert Murphy, the class humorist, as he chooses to be known, periodical-
ly gives the class some laughs, even when he is engaged in a one-way dia-
logue with the oracle.
Helen Gowen is a past master, one might say. at delivering oral themes.
No matter how difficult the subject. Miss Gowen never fails to please.
Those two unforgivable and unforgettable villains, Mr. “Sammy” Low
and Mr. Dusty Collins have the class in an uproar when Mr. Grindle aims
one of his verbal bombshells at either of them. The funny part of it is,
they are never forced to say a word to create a riot.
Enticing Billy Weld to pass in written themes on time is one of the Sage
of No. 205’s most laborious and delicate tasks.
You’d probably never suppose that Russell Smith is class president from
his quiet bearing and interesting ways—but such is the truth. He is a good
one, too, incidentally.
Professor Grindle, the old maestro, came in for a bit of jolly funning.
that he did. Can you guess what? Righto! He called Anna Murphy Miss
Sullivan. Miss O’Brien and other Celtic names before he got the right one.
Oh, well, they’re all in the family.
Lastly, Wilbur Thyng is one of the class's most quiet and efficient work-
ers. Maybe if we were all that way our ranks might show a little improve-
ment.

HONESTY
What is one of the greatest and finest things in the human character?
I think it is honesty. If we do what is right and say only what has a ring
of truth in it, we will always feel right in our minds and have the respect
of our friends.
We owe it to ourselves and to our fellowmen to be honest. The truth
oftentimes brings hardships; but in the end. it is always the better way.
There are rogues and thieves who make fortunes, but they live in a false
security which tomorrow may come clattering down around their heads.
Dishonesty wins us naught. If our friends cannot believe us. they will
shun our presence and have no dealings with us whatsoever. A lie is like
a snowball—it grows as it goes on its way. It leads men from happiness
to despair and makes them wish they had never been born.
The honest man works to his utmost for the benefit of his fellowmen
but never hurts others to better himself. He will never seek a public of-
fice for the sole reason of improving his own position in life but rather to
do his best work for his country, city or state and help them in any way
he can.
When we are tempted, as we often are. to tell a falsehood, we should
remember that truth is always the leader to hapf/iness and recall the spirit
of Longfellow’s famous lines:
HONESTY
I shot an arrow into the air.
It fell to earth I know not where.
I breathed a song into the air.
It fell to earth I know not where.
Long, long afterward, in an oak.
I found the arrow still un-broke.
The song, from beginning to end.
I found again in the heart of a friend.
—CLAIRE GODING.

DAWN
Now as I start my morning walk,
[ hear the birds begin to talk,
W ith murmuring chants and jolly glee.
They light high on the Maple tree.
The rim of the large red sun appears.
And in full view it soon is clear:
Purple, pink, and violet streams
While in the towering sky, it beams.
The atmosphere is crisp and clear.
And rustling twigs catch at the ear.
Now and then a sedate cloud.
The fiery, scorching sun dost shroud.
Scant rays of blue show in between
Just like a rich, connective beam.
Meek old cricket tells his tale.
Of the sky and winds he wails.
Perky brook comes bubbling down
Similar to a merry clown.
O’er a wide yet narrow course
Laughing ’til he’s almost hoarse.
Now the flocks commence to graze
In a distant mountain haze. *
The grass is fresh with morning dew.
And dew-drops dripping from the hue.
Red tulip now unfolds her lid
And pansies round about her. Glib
I speak, while watching sky azure
“A new day has begun once more.”

There is a dear teacher named Bailey,
Who to all of hei pupils smiles gaily ;
Her smile is so sweet.

To keep her thus smiling daily.
One teacher there is named Lenfest,
In Latin she’s one of the best.
Though Virgil's all right.
I bone Ovid all night.
And I do hate an unforseen test.
Grindle is excellent as an English professor,
I know of no other who can be better;
To me it’s a mystery,
How he knows English history,
There is no other who could be his successor.

By the name of Prescott him do we call;
Let’s give him a cheer.
Since he is not near.
And let’s hope from this affection he never will fall.

GYM EXHIBITION’ AND MINOR SPORTS
Every year the students of Sanford High School give a gym exhibition
to show how valuable physical training is and the interest that each individual
shows towards it. The Class of 1932 has managed to come out with flying
colors.
During our first year in high school, the exhibition was held on the eve-
nings of April 1-2. 1929. The girls, dressed in white middies and blue gym
bloomers, gave the Dumbell Drill and the Irish Lilt. The boys did their part
by participating in a Mass Corrective Drill. The entertainment was con-
cluded by very exciting relays between the four classes.
On March 21. 1930. we took part in the second annual exhibition. The
girls gave the Danish Drill and Uncle Jasper's Reel, while the boys gave
a Wand Drill.
Our third and last exhibition was given on Friday. March 20. 1931. The
girls rendered a Swanee River Dance and demonstrated the game called
Human Croquet. The boys gave Development Drill and the Men of Valor
Dance, and the program ended with a game of Hit-pin-baseball.
Baseball and hockey were the two most popular minor sports of the
girls of our class. Our freshman year we played several games and had
very exciting contests.
Hockey was introduced as a new sport during our high school years.
Our senior year we played several games and won them all except the one
against the Sophomores. Those who represented our class were: Ruth
Johnson., Captain, Agnes Hanson, Ethel Nevison. Adrienne Johnson, Ber-
nadine Vallely. Alice Perron. Rose Shalhoup. Gertrude Goodson. Arline Aus-

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL
In 1929 the Seniors of ’32 came out to try their luck at basketball. Our
first year consisted mostly of practice but we worked to the best of our
ability and by the end of the year we knew basketball quite thoroughly.
During our second and third years of basketball the teams were made up
of different classes. The class of ’32 did their best toward supporting their
team.
During the year of '32 we had class teams. Although the Seniors were
not very victorious they played skilfully and showed good sportsmanship.
Those playing in the class games were: Agnes Hanson. Captain; Sybil Senior.
Alice Perron, Ethel Nevison, Anna Seamans. Eleanor I [ill, Carrie Ford, Ruth
Johnson, and Gertrude Guptill.
BOYS’ INTERCLASS BASKETBALL
We were not very fortunate in our interclass basketball. Our Fresh-
man year the Junior team, which was composed of most of the second var-
sity beat us 12-6. The Seniors also handed us a beating of 16-6. Libbey,
Kimball. Jellison. Washington, and Chase represented our class for this year.
Our Sophomore year we beat the Juniors In a score of 16-6. We in turn,
however, were beaten by the Seniors. Dart, Hamlin. Jellison. Washington
were the stars for our class.
Our Junior year we played only one game. This was with the Seniors
and we were beaten 12-10. We gave the Seniors a good fight and showed
that we were good losers and could accept a challenge.
A revival in interclass basketball gave us our last chance to win the
championship. Crippled by the loss of Jellison we beat the Juniors but
could not overcome the Sophomores, who showed that they had a lot oi
fight. Although we lost the game, we are glad to know that a fighting
team won. Kimball, Hamlin. Thyng. Taylor, Howgate, Washington were
members of our team.
TUMBLING TEAM ’
There are many members of the tumbling team in the class of “’32".
Alpha Perron has been an outstanding tumbler on the team. Howgate and
Hamlin also held berths on the team. Perron, recognized as the premier
tumbler of the school, also performed novelty acrobatic acts at some of our
theatres.

CHRONICLES OF 1932
In the days of the High Priest Purington. the young men and maidens
of Sanford and Springvale were gathered together in the school called High.
Now the High Priest had many rabbis to aid him in instilling wisdom and
knowledge into the minds of the young disciples who sat at their feet and
learned of them.
And it came to pass that there entered into the company of the rabbis a
man of great wisdom, called Grindle. Rabbi Grindle ruled with a hand of iron,
and none could put to dispute his arm of authority. W hen his young dis-
ciples were found to be in the pursuit of iniquity, the good Rabbi led them
back to the fold, with many a wise talk for the good of the wicked one’s soul.
Rabbi Grindle was the counsellor of the young men and maidens of the
class called Senior in 1932. May the prophecies of that good Rabbi come
true a thousand-fold and gladden his heart with the first-fruits of his labors
in the great School which is called High'.
There also abode within the school other helpers of the High Priest Pur-
ington. There were Daughters of Wisdom, Maude, and Helen, Grace, and
Annie and Emily, and there were the Rabbis Ithel. and Justin and “Flash.”
And the good instructress Grace did lead her disciples into the mysteries
of the lives of the ancients, as well as of the moderns, and naught was hid-
den from the eye of her wisdom. There were also other instructors of whom
it would take too long to tell.
Now there was in the Senior Class of the school which is called High a
fair and beautiful damsel called Helen, beloved of Donald the wise. Her
beauty was such as to enslave the hearts of men, and she was as gentle
as she was fair.
Howbeit, in this class called Senior, the soul of a hater of women shone
forth in the form of the good disciple Lawrence. Anti in the class called
English, before the good Rabbi Grindle, he bared his soul of this burning
passion. But it was so. that in the class called Chemistry the good Law-
rence was ever near the young damsel Yvette; and the young men and
maidens beheld the thing. And it will come to pass, before many moons,
that the good Rabbi Grindle will speak with his disciple on the seeming
wavering of his faith.
There were others in this class called Senior, who were of a different mind
than the good Lawrence, and were smitten with a devastating passion for
certain maidens. There was the young Hamlin, beloved of Lois, of the
class called Junior, and it grieved him sore whenever he viewed another
gazing upon her fair countenance.
And there was Marion, a damsel of a dark beauty unsurpassed, who
summoned from the class called Junior a young disciple called White. And
oft he said unto her, “Wilt ride with me, fair maiden?” And they would
journey fast and far, even after the manner of Jehu, in the chariot Ford
belonging unto the good disciple White.
But of all the class called Senior, there was one maiden of saintly visage,
who was a scribe, and akin to the stars of heaven. And she was Gladys,
honored by all in the class called Senior.

And behold, on the highway, and travelling at a seemingly unwise pace.
might be seen Carrie, a buxom maiden withal, who could guide her tan
chariot of the model which is called Ford, with a skill approaching unto per-

There was also Helen, fair of face and stately, and the young Gladys of
the impassioned tongue in the class called English, ami the young disciple
Lord who doth talk with fiery eloquence, and Libby, whose prowess among
the strong young men is renowned, and the learned Doris, dearly beloved of
my soul, and many more of whom I have not time to speak.
For space would fail to tell of the musicians who play skilfully with a
loud noise, and the sweet singers of the Glee Club and of the Student Choir;
and of the mighty men of valor who contend against all comers on track or
field; and of the debaters; and of these who present life in plays.
Moreover, there are the noble whose names are inscribed upon the Honor
Roll, and those who have won prizes for the glory and honor of the school.
And each has stood firm, and has done valiantly in his place, and is worthy
of honor among his classmates.

I’ll .smear up your sword with some poison, and we ll make Hamlet look
like a fool.”
So they pulls off the bout as they plan it. but the King thinks his scheme
may blow up.
So he orders a cold drink for Hamlet, and some poison he sneaks in the cup.
Then Ham and Laertes start fighting, and the King slips Laertes a wink.
Rut the Queen she aint wise to wot’s doing, and she swallers the King’s
poisoned drink.
Then Ham gets stuck in the shoulder, and he sees how he’s framed from
the start.
And he switches the swords on Laertes, and stabs the poor bum through
the heart.
Then he runs his sword right through his uncle, ami he sez “Well, let’s call
it a day.”
Then the King dirs, the Queen dies, and Ham dies, and I calls it one h-----of
a play.
Rescued from oblivion
