Check out prattcars.com US Route 1, Calais • 207-454-0600 PAGE 2 A CHS Christmas Tradition By Kaileigh Deacon For the last several years the students of the Calais High School Student Council and National Honor Society have helped those that would not get much of a Christmas, to get a little bit more. At the beginning of December, the students held a Rock-a-thon that raised money so they could go out and buy presents. The CHS students rocked their way to $2700 which is the most they have raised to date with this fundraiser. The students are given a list of names from the Calais Children’s Project of kids who are going to be staying there over the holiday; they also get a list of some things that the kids would want. This year there were ten kids to buy for as well, but the Student Council and National Honor Society members also purchased gifts that could be used by everyone. On Wednesday the students stayed after school to wrap all of the gifts they had bought the previous week. From 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. the students wrapped gifts, listened to music and had a good time. “This is my favorite fundraiser that Student Council does,” Student Council Advisor Lori Ellis said. The kids also go to the Children’s Project to decorate the lobby with Christmas decorations to make things a little more festive. Once the kids have decorated and delivered their presents, they headed back to the high school to have their Christmas party. The kids grab their stuff and have a sleepover at the high school in the library. They have a gift exchange, watch movies, play games and video games, and eat. This year Lori Ellis and Janice Rice teamed up and made homemade pizza for the kids for supper and in the morning before school started, the kids got a homemade breakfast too. Thanks to the Student Council and National Honor Society the kids at the Calais Children’s Project got a few presents to open on Christmas.

Members of the Calais High School Student Council and Na- tional Honor Society gave Santa a hand and delivered gifts to the Calais a children's project. The Lawn Mowers group raised $2700 to buy gifts ATVs for the 10 kids that stayed at Chainsaws the Children's project over the & More Christmas holiday. (Photo by Kaileigh Deacon).

They were wrong and a nation of couch potatoes was born. In 1947 the opening session of Congress and Truman’s Presidential address were broadcast for the first time as was the first soap opera, "A Woman to Remember" and Groucho Marx’s “You Bet Your Life”. Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in baseball with the Dodgers, bunting for a single in his first at bat and eventually winning the Rookie of the Year award. It wasn’t easy however as some teams like the Cardinals refused to play the Dodgers until read the riot act by their owners. On the world stage the Marshall Plan was announced, India got its independence and the UN imposed a division of Palestine which haunts us to this day. In Maine the first section of the Maine Turnpike opened. In Calais two of our favorite teachers Mary and Florence Boone received Masters Degrees from the University of Maine. The big story of the year, however, was the massive and destructive forest fire on Mount Desert Island which nearly every able bodied man in Calais was recruited to fight. The last class to officially graduate from Calais Academy which had been destroyed by fire in 1945 included Pat Lawrence, Larry Lane, Dorothy Stewart, Natalie UPPER RIGHT: Jane Todd’s new lunch counter opened on Main Street and became a favorite meeting Blaney, Annie Stanhope, Philip Ross, Gordon Lord, Jean Stevens place.
