DECEMBER, 1964 7 h e 1964 Homecoming celebration got off to a slow start Friday (October 9) afternoon when the Maine Tfreshman team was edged by Bridgeton Academy’s foot­ ball squad by a score of 7-6, but Friday evening a student parade and a display of fireworks set the spirit for a Pep Rally in the Memorial Gym. Homecoming Queen candi­ dates presented skits; and Sam Sezak ’31, Homecoming Chairman, fired up the crowd with a brief welcoming address. Later, at the All-Maine Woman Senior Skull Stag Dance, Miss Kaye Olsen of Brunswick was crowned 1964 Homecoming Queen. At the Homecoming Open House, held from 8:30 to 11:00 in the Main Lounge of the Memorial Union, alumni enjoyed renewing friendships. Coffee and birthday cake comprised the bill of fare. Whose birthday? . . . why, the University’s, of course. To celebrate in advance the 100th birthday (February 25, 1965) of the University of Maine, an enormous cake was baked and decorated by Mrs. Daniel Farnsworth, wife of the baker for the Memorial Union. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Silver ’02 were the re­ cipients of the Golden Cup, a gold coffee cup which they were awarded for being the 100th in line for coffee that evening. Saturday morning featured Homecoming displays, a field hockey game at the Women’s Athletic Field (which the undergraduate ladies won), and a well-attended

The company adjourned at 1:00 to see the Maine Bears beat New Hampshire by a score of 33-18. A specialty of the game was the releasing of hundreds of multi-colored “lighter-than-air” balloons after the first few touchdowns. Homecoming was concluded Saturday evening with fraternity open houses, a concert in the Memorial Gym featuring the Four Preps, and the Centennial Home­ coming Dance at the Penobscot Valley Country Club (sponsored by Penobscot Valley Alumni).

N award of the Black Bear is made this year in a precedent setting fashion—as a combination award to be shared in equal honor by the two recipients. They are accustomed to sharing both work, and honors for their accomplishments. They were residents of Orono for 25 years and were intimately associated with the important growth of the University from 1939 to 1964. Both are alumni of the Class of 1923. Cora and Henry Doten are outstanding alumni, loyal and devoted to serving their University and for assistance through the Alumni Associa­ tion to the purposes for which it stands.

by Juliana Free Peace Corps Volunteer Senegal

While we use Webster's for reference, everyone has his own ready stock of words pertinent to his existence. Prior to Peace Corps, Africa took up a very small space in my personal dictionary. As I had read Edgar Rice Burroughs rather than the Encyclopedia Britannica, my definition was illustrated by snakes, ringed-nose cannibals, and tree-houses. Eleven months in Senegal, five weeks in Cameroon, and ten days in Nigeria have been a constant exercise in

shaving a concept here and padding an idea there to enable me, Julianna Free—June ’63 graduate of the University of Maine—to fit into the shifting shape of the French West African Culture. 1 cannot explain this experience except in sporadic emphasis. For although I take living in Africa for granted, although I have ceased to gaze with gaping mouth and my black and blue pinch marks have long since healed, I am subject to the immediate.

DECEMBER, 1964 11 SENEGAL is being one Peace Corps Volunteer among 65 in a country the size of South Dakota; seeing the other 64 at infrequent intervals — if at all; being the only American among the Senegalese, Lebonese and French population of Rufisque; and speaking French. It is teaching “American” — definitely different from the “Queen’s English” — to secondary school students; boiling all drinking and dish-rinse water; losing twenty pounds that would have been better gained; receiving a condolence card after President Kennedy’s assassination; hear­ ing the beat of the tam-tam through insomnia; passing a Moslem in prayer who interrupts his address to Allah to nod a greeting; ignoring men urinating against the walls of buildings; and accepting a student’s gift of a sea-shell. It is having a sus­ pended student returned to class because of a government official’s influence; inquiring what Alan Ladd just said in his too rapid French; and learning that tomorrow is not necessarily a shorter span of time than next year.. It is catching amoebic dysentery; killing cockroaches two inches long; learning to bargain; motor­ cycling around stalled motorists caught in a traffic jam; sleeping under a mosquito net that doesn’t keep out the night sounds that a girl alone can hear; “bawling out” a class in French that is funny rather than fluent; and having an admiring group of young girls chorus “Brigitte Bardot, Bardot” as I pass. Most important it is being more concerned with the language a guest speaks than his color. " I have yet to see a snake, meet a cannibal with a ring in his nose, or honeymoon in a treehouse..

Julie teaches English as a second language to students at the Cours Complementaire, Mahtar Seek, in Rufisque, Senegal... 16 miles from Dakar, the nation’s capital. She has forty students in each class! Bob Bogden ’62 was married just before entering Peace Corps training to Janet Carlisle, formerly of Westfield, New Jersey, and now from Philadelphia. The Bogdens received their Masters Degrees from Syracuse University last June and now are doing social work in Ibadan, Nigeria.

Cameroon is exploring a hidden cave to finger human ing with the luggage he so kindly offered to assist me with at the skulls; sitting in the corner of a mud-brick hut sipping palm-wine Onitsha ferry; and perspiring heat after the coolness of Camer­ while the members of Tom’s “Drinking Society” gyrate to the oon. It is listening to tapes that Jan and Bob Bogden have just talking drums; learning how irritating a wood stove can be to brought from the States; sacking the shelves of Kingsway for 15 cook on everyday; using the kerosene lamp every evening after lbs. of American and English groceries to take back to Senegal; the electricity goes off at 10 p. m.; and heating a charcoal iron learning the “high-life” from Steve Ridley in Lagos; having three to iron. It is delighting in the beauty of cloud-draped mountains shillings pressed to my forehead in Nigerian tribute to my danc­ and bouquets of palm trees; stopping for police checks, but ing—and having the waiter pocket the one shilling that fell to never—happily—meeting the terrorist renegades; traveling roads— the floor.

Cameroon is testing the lessons Senegal taught cept of America. They define America by Al Capone, rock ’n roll, in patience, resourcefulness and nerve. cowboys, and race riots.

Evie (Krauter ’63) and Tom Duston ’62 teach at a teacher training college in Batibo, Cameroon. For summer projects Tom wrote a math book (in English but using the French metric system) and Evie concentrated on having Kathryn .. . born August 11, 1964, in a hospital eighty-five miles and five hours ride from Batibo.

Steve Ridley ’63 has taught biology and chemistry at Ansar Un Deen College, a boys’ secondary school in Isolo, Nigeria, just outside Lagos, for the past year. On weekends he continues his Peace Corps summer project of recon­ structing houses destroyed by a flood. In this picture Steve and other faculty members relax during recess.

w e l l k n o w n W a s h in g t o n f ig u r e died on January 1, 1963. He left an estate estimated between $20 million and $50 million. His Alast will was drawn up in 1939, twenty - four years before he died. While his estate is not yet settled, it is estimated that federal estate taxes will approach $11 million on the minimum estate of $20 million. Had this man taken advantage of a 1948 amendment to the tax laws his federal estate taxes could have been reduced to only $5 million. While very few of us will leave an estate of this magnitude, the story points up the great importance of our making an up-to-date will. So, we ask this question . . .
