Faculty
The men and women pictured above and on the right are the people who for three years have shaped the lives of the Bangor High School senior class. Much credit is due them for their long, sometimes .trying, experiences in attempting to make the boys and girls of the Class of 19&1- into men and women. The students of B. H. S. whole heartedly extend their thanks to them.
DEAN RACHEL CONNOR Dean Rachel Connor, beloved dean of girls for many years at Bangor High School, recently resigned from her faculty position because of ill health, but she can never resign the position she holds in the hearts of the students . and faculty of B. H. S. The Class of 1951 has an added feeling for their Dean because it was she who took them in hand during those first hectic weeks in the fall of 1948. Soon the class will be graduating and one by one the memories of high school will fade away, but never the memory of Dean Rachel Connor and her charming, inspiring way with boys and girls.
Foreword
During the past school year the Oracle Board has had as its endeavor the publishing of a yearbook that would serve to recall pleasant memories to the students of Bangor High School. Following the custom of preceding staffs, the Oracle has been changed in small ways to meet the demands of a deserving student body.
The members of the 1951 Oracle Board started the year's work by the planning and carrying out of an extensive supscrip tion campaign. The drive was highlighted by the Oracle-Orascope assembly, always one of the year's outstanding programs. The publication of the December literary magazine provided an out let for talented members of tqe staff and also the members of the student body. The poems, stories, pictures, and features were a welcome diversion from the hustle and bustle of the fall term.
In January the staff seriously began prepaPtng the year's major task-the 1951 Oracle. With its publication the staff has a feeling of achievement, mingled with a feeling of sorrow be cause the pubJication also marks the close of the school year~ and the end of three glorious years in Bangor High School.
In closing, the Oracle wishes to thank all those who made its publication possible.

The class of 1951 is presenting itself for the last time as a unified body. For three years the class has functioned as a single unit and, during the last year it has been foremost in the minds of the pupils, faculty, and parents.
Now we are going on, leaving behind the sometimes happy, sometimes troubled days of our high school career. What the future holds for us no one can tell. For some it means college, for others it means going out to meet the world and to earn their living, and for still others it means preparing for marriage and homemaking.
No matter what the future may bring, the class of 1951 will be an integral part of the American way of life, for we are The Students of Today-The Citizens of Tomorrow. Graduating Members of The Class of Nineteen Fifty~One

Bangor High's recent alumni have really brought honor to their alma mater during the past year, as was brought out by the Scholarship Recognition Assembly held recently. More than fifty graduates in eight colleges-Bates, Bowdoin, Harvard, M. I. T., Simmons, Smith, The Uni 'lersity of Maine, and Wellesley-have been cited for academic distinction within the last semester. Approximately twenty four per cent of the B. H. S. graduates attend ing the University of Maine were on the dean's list last semester. Four of the eleven freshman girls at the U. of M. to be named members o£ Neai J\1athetai, a scholarship society which selects the highest ranking freshman v;omen for membership, were in the class of 1950 from Bangor High. They were Mary Jean Chapman, Helen Fox, Judy Phillips, and Patricia Wilson. Ross St. Germain, Roland Mann, and Harold Nichols, seniors at the U. of Maine, were elected to Phi Beta Kappa this spring. Margaret Howatt and Jean Hopkins were named to the Sophomore Eagles, and .Joseph Bernard and Mark Lieberman were elected to the Sophomore Owls. Membership in both of these organizations is based on scholarship, leadership, and par ticipation in outside activities. At a schola!ship recognition assembly held at the U. of M. recently, twelve B. H. S. alumni won thirteen scholarship awards. They were Faith Canty, Su:?an Chase, Helen Fox, Robert Goodell, Richard Gray, Robert Hamilton (two scholarship awards), Janet Heal, Barbara Hobbs, Margaret Howatt, Patricia Nash, Richard Searl€s, and Patricia Wilson. Harvey Ginsberg, a junior at Harvard, has been named president of the Advocate, the oldest literary college publication in the United States. Mary Grace Eames, a Phi Beta Kappa at Smith College, has been awarded a Fellowship for the graduate study of Engiish. Becaus€ of the composite record made by recent graduates of Bangor High atM. I. T., the committee on admissions will upon the recommenda tion of the principal, waive during the coming year the usual entrance test requirements for students graduating in the highest fifth of the class. Three graduates of the class of 1'950, Paul Brountas, Ronald Gray, and Charles Ranlett, all now at Bowdoin, won the Abraxas Cups for Bangor High. Not only are they outstanding scholars but they are dis tinguishing themselves in other fields as well. They participate in prize speaking contests, journalism, and many other college activities. These are only a few of the honors that recent graduates have been bringing to themselves and to their high s·chool; these examples should serve to illustrate the unbeatable record made by graduates of Bangor High in many colleges throughout the country. Recognition A wards
The Scholarship Recognition Assembly also revealed the Senior Essay winners, Graduation .Parts, scholarships, and awards, as well as honoring the Bangor High Scholars. The assembly was turned over to Professor Albert Thayer of Bowdoin College who presented the Abraxas Cup to the school. This cup, won by Paul Brountas, Ronald Gray, and Charles Ranlett, is awarded to the school having in the freshman class. at Bowdoin three or more representatives who secure the best grades for the first semester. This is the fourth time Bangor High has won this honor since 1916. Principal Chaplin then announced the essay winners, scholarship winners, the results of the election for graduation parts, and the winner of the medal for the social studies test on current problems. This medal was awarded for the first time this year.

The Orascope, whose staff is composed exclusively of juniors, is edited by Herbert Hammons, assisted by Ruth Bowles. They, along with the members of the staff, and with the help of Miss Jessie L. Fraser, have done a splendid job in keeping up with the high standards established by the paper. Founded in 1945, and issued five times during the school year, the Orascopc was brought into being in order to give a newspaper to the students of Bangor High School, and to keep the students informed of the many activities. At this time, it might be noted, school newspapers had become quite popular with the larger high schools throughout the country. The members of the staff have not only secured experience in editing a paper; but won, in 1950, the Echo-Lovejoy Trophy for the best high school newspaper of its class in Maine.

Student Council
The Student Council of Bangor High has completed another successful year, despite the fact that all work had to be done after school hours. A food sale which was held in December started things rolling. After that, the Student Council worked on various pro-· jects, such as setting up a schedule for clubs, revising the point system, and working out plans for better assembly programs for next year. In March, Bangor High had the privilege of acting as host to the State Student Council Session. The members of the Student Council did a fine job of showing people around and taking care of the regis tration. Of course the main event of the year was All-Bangor Nite. An amusing program of entertainment was presented in the form of a Dude Ranch in which much hidden tal ent was brought out. Part of the profit from this year's All-Bangor Nite will be used to send a representative to the National Conference of Student Councils, which is to be held at Wellesley, Massachu setts. Another part of it will Two years project completed be used toward better assem bly programs in 1951-52. The officers for the Student Council this year were David Searles, President; Steve Per kins, Vice President; Elinor Cilley, Secretary; and Tom Zoidis, Treasurer. Mr. Claude Lovely acted as adviser for the council. Commercial Club officers plan outing Commercial Club One of the highlights of the Bangor High Commercial Club was a hot dish supper held in October. Donna Holmes played selections on the accordion, and everyone had a good time. At the January meeting, Mr. William A. Wood, General Manager of Dun & Bradstreet, gave an interesting talk on the history of Dun & Bradstreet. During the Christmas season, a very delightful Christmas party was held for all Commercial Club members. Among the soloists were Sondra McKusick, Donna Holmes, Jeannine Morrow, and Marion French. Presents were exchanged by members. The club officers are Anne Tozier, President; Hildred Alexander, Vice President; Marion French, Secretary; Anne Lenfest, Treasurer.

Speech D epartment
The speech department, under the leadership of Miss Mary Hodgson, has completed a year of sparkling performances. The newly reorganized department combines all the dramatic activities into one unit, governed by a student executive board elected each month.
The new and successful Radio Workshop has been conducting regular broadcasts this year on radio station WGUY. The members have also participated in broadcasts for the benefit of the Community Chest, Red Cross, and other organizations. Miss Mary Hodgson has also coached sev eral interested persons in civic speaking.
The first big production of the year was held in December in the form of an operetta, ·"A Waltz Dream." Richard Rand, Marjorie Dudley, Gary Burke, Stephen Perkins, and Elaine Perkins were included in the cast. All-Girls' Speaking Choir appears in assembly
In April Bangor High School entered the one-act play contest at Pittsfield. Their presentation, called "Overtones" starred Claire Lewis, Judy Fineson, Marilyn Clark, and Patricia Leahy.
The very successful senior play was "Cheaper by the Dozen." As Steve Perkins, Father Gilbeth, blew his timely whistle, the entire audience roared to see the "dozen" flock to attention. Everyone in the cast from Carol Bubar, the oldest daughter, to John Wibby, a peppy cheerleader, did excellent work in portraying his part.
The All-Girls' Speaking Choir, which is new this year, has had little opportunity to show its skill.

The debaters held their annual tournament at the University of Maine in February. The teams from Bangor High were as follows: Ruth Pels and Selma Bell; Robert Johnson and Edward Connelly, Emma Jean Betterly and Pauline Hamilton; and Roger Gillis and Helen West. The club had previously entertained Bar Harbor High School for practice debating. This year, for the first time, the debate class and the All Girls' Speaking Choir pre~ sented an assembly to show the student body the advantages of participating in debate discussions.

Started last year in an effort to raise the standing of the R.O.T.C. unit at the high school, the Rifles drilled and paraded many times at public performances. Under the direction of the military department and Cadet Lt. Col. Clarence Day, the Stetson Rifles were highly rated by the reviewing officers at the federal inspection and also at the field day. The Stetson Rifles deserve much credit for greatly lifting the morale and rating of the Bangor R.O.T.C. unit. (Picture on Page 65)
Girls' Drill Team
At the end of the fall term, a new group was added to· the military department of Bangor High School's R.O.T.C. The team was com posed of twenty girls and a student leader, Barbara Tulloch. The girls learned ·Colorful and intricate marching movements under the careful supervision of Sgt. Louis DeFillippo. The girls were active in all the regular R.O.T.C. functions throughout the second term. The Girls' Drill Team performed at the Federal inspection, R.O.T.C. Field Day, the Armed • Forces Day parade, and the Memorial Day parade.

For the first time in many years the Bangor High School R. 0. T. C. unit has again been awarded the Red Star, symbolizing a superior R. 0. T. C. rating from the United States Army. At this time we would like to express our thanks to the man chiefly re sponsible for the Red Star-Capt. Arthur P. Wade.
Upon his arrival three years ago, Capt. Wade was greeted by the task of reorganiz ing a far from efficient R. 0. T. C. unit. He fell to the job with the enthu iasm and vigor that his training at West Point had instilled in him. Although verY. little progress was made the first year, the stage was set for a dramatic revival of the R. 0. T. C. unit. Capt. Wade's second year at the high school marked the installation of the Stetson Rifles, a crack drill platoon, an R. 0. T. C. field day under the lights at Garland Street, and a general over-all boost in the morale of the cadets. The third year of his stay brought about the organization of a Girls' Drill Team, a
Capt. Wade and Staff definite concrete method of selecting the honor company, and the -receiving of the Red Star for all round excellence at the Federal Inspection. As we go to press, Capt. Wade is awaiting expected orders that will take him away from Bangor High School, but certainly not from the hearts of those who have known him, not only as an army officer hut also as a t e a c h e r, gentleman, and friend. We would like to extend our thanks and appreciation for all he has done for us and to wish him all the success possible in his future years. Girls~ Athletics

The Senior Red Team finished its season with a win over the rival Senior White team and then waited for the results of the re- Time out for the officials maining Junior games, which placed them in a first place tie. The girls racked up the impressive record of only one loss under the leadership of Captain Jane Bacon and Coach Car lene Lobley. The girls reached their goal by good team play and the suc cessful scoring efforts of June Walsh and Jane Bacon. Junior White Team
The Junior White team played a sparkling brand of basketball and rated right up there with the Seniors as co-champions. The going wasn't easy and all teams fought it out in many close, exciting games.
The valuable assistall;Ce of Captain Anita Ramsdell and Coach Jane Bacon helped the girls wind up the season with only one loss that matched the senior record. The games this year also featured some unusually high scores. Both teams were very evenly matched, as the record shows, and a playoff would have been loaded with thrills, good sportsmanship, and team play.

Junior Field Hoclkey Team The Class of 1952 seems determined to keep the hockey team tr-ophy in their posses sion. With the appearance of ease that marks a really good team, the juniors defeated all competition for the second consecutive year. Their hard-hitting attack and close team-play paid off with an undefeated, unscored-upon record. Under the leadership of Captain Janet Scripture, and Coaches Betsy Tandy, Ruth Beal, and Carlene Lobley, the juniors defeated an experienced, hard-fighting senior team and a scrappy sophomore team to win the trophy. Girls' Athletic Honor Council pins members All?Bangor Field Hockey Team
The boys were forced out of Little City Park this fall while flying hockey sticks and balls replaced ftyballs and touchdown passes.
Although the Juniors again outplayed the other teams, many of the Seniors received recognition by gaining berths on the All-Bangor Hockey Team. This honor represents plenty of hard play and devotion to their team. While last year's team was exclusively senior, this year's boasts four members of the victorious junior team.
· To be eligible for a position on the All-Bangor Hockey Team, a girl must have earned her numerals in two or more years of hockey. Her name is then placed on a bal lot to be voted upon by the senior members of the G. A. H. C., and Miss Mildred Mc Guire. The most outstanding girl for each position is chosen.
The following girls were elected to the All-Bangor Hockey Team: Joan McEachern, Captain; Jackie Wardwell, Janet Burton, Eleanor Cilley, Ellen Hill, Joanne Dorsky, Donna Holmes, Betty Ellis, Carlene Lobley, Dotty St. Onge, Susan Humphrey, Betsy Tandy, June Day, Carol Bubar, Ronda Goodman, Anne Lenfest, Glen Geyer, Kay Zoidis, Christine Caswell, Jane Cole, Jane Hunter, Athena Vafiades, June Walsh, Rowena Tren- . holm, Gwen Bryant, Anita Ramsdell, and Janet Scripture.

This year's cheerleadi::1g squad showed all the zip and fire of their predecessors while leading the ardent Bangor rooters. Their snappy routines and cheers were a credit to the school. The girls were spurred on in their' work by Captain Lorraine Canning and adviser, Mr. Malcolm Willis. · The squad was attractively and originally dressed for both the foot ball and basketball seasons. The girls climaxed the year with the Cheerleaders' Dance at which next year's squad was announced. It will be composed of Helen West, Sue Bockus, Elizabeth Rand, Mary Anne O'Donnell, Charlotte Despres, Sheila O'Brien, Gwen Bryant, Jane Vose, Pat Leahy, and the junior members of this year's squad.

President Joan McEachern did an excellent job of directing the various activities. Besides their regular responsibility of helping out in all girls' sports, the members of the council helped with the food concessions during football season and ushered at the basketball games. The girls sponsored a booth at All-Bangor Night and took part in Play Day, sponsored by the Women's Athletic Association of the University of Maine. At the annual Basketball Banquet held on May 8th, Rowena Trenholm, Gerry Wal lace, Carolyn Moor, and Mary Ellen Day were inducted into the council. Ruth Beal, Car lene Lobley, Anne Lenfest, and Eleanor Cilley received second honors. The retiring president, Joan McEachern, received third honors. Miss McGuire was also awarded third honors by the Council in recognition of her willing service to it. This year the council enjoyed having Herta Jung as an honorary member. The officers for 1951 and 1952 are: .President, Gwen Bryant; Vice President, Anita Ramsdell; Secretary, Ruth Bowles; and Treasurer, J ody Neal.
Twirlers
The B. H. S. twirlers, attired in snappy maroon and white uniforms, completed a highly successful season under the competent leadership of Captain Betty Ellis. The girls complemented the sparkling play of our football and basketball teams with a high-stepping display of talent. The girls highlighted several parades in Bangor.

The Bangor Football team was hit very hard by last year's graduation as was shown by the 1950 season's record. The Rams, for the first time in over a decade, wound up the year with more losses than wins. Bangor High School, under the capable coaching of Cy :Perkins and Red Barry, came up with some promising .sophomores and a few veterans from last season's fine club. Gary Burke, Tom Zoidis and Ed Dudley, along with Dick Merriman, made up a fairly experienced backfield, while Larry Hall, Captain David Searles, Dick Brown, and Ed Cot burn were line stalwarts throughout the year. Much credit is due to Dave Searles for his outstanding leadership and spirit dis played throughout the season against overwhelming odds. The season started badly as lady luck and injuries plagued the Harlow-Streeters re lentlessly in the first three games, for Lewiston, Cony, and Portland handed the Rams defeats. Bangor gained partial revenge on a previously undefeated John Bapst team as they dumped the Crusaders 27-6. Next, Waterville and South Portland both emerged with victories over the Crimson after close, hard fought battles, hut Rumford went down to defeat 54-0 in the highest Ram score posted in recent years. Closing out the season with a thrilling victory over arch-rival Brewer, the Rams won 32-0 to take the intra-city title again. This football season at Bangor meant the last for many of the boys. Some will go on to a higher school of learning, while others will be taking the field again, not to play football, but as members of the armed forces. To all of these boys the Oracle sincerely wishes the best of luck in their endeavors.

To Coach Vincent Cuozzo goes all the credit for making Cross Country at Bangor High School an outstanding sport, regardless of its non-money making status. The full time teacher and part-time coach, well liked by all who have been closely associated with him, began his championship conquest three years ago. Although his dream of winning State Championship never materialized, he has witnessed some great athletic endeavors in his long sports life, as his teams finished third one year, and second another in the State Meet at Orono, while his Harriers finished sixth and tenth in two New England contests in two successive years. Undoubtedly one of the hardest conditioning sports in the book, Cross Country re quires long weeks of practice sessions whiCh always consist of "five mile jaunts" for en durance, and half mile sprints at top speed to get wind and legs in perfect shape for the gruelling contests on the schedule. This year's team was built around a nucleus of athletic veterans such as Walter Luro, William Thibodeau and Vernon Holyoke. These three along with Captain David Dearing placed among the first five finishers in practically every regular meet, while they more than held their own against the "best" runners in State and New England circles. Led hy Captain-elect Stanley Furrow, next season's squad will start a fresh trail to the State Championship in its attempt to heap more honors on Bangor High. With the spirit and determination shown by Luro, Dearing, Thibodeau and Holyoke and the other standouts of the 1950 Rams, we have no doubt that Coach Cuozzo and his teams will succeed. Going briefly into the season's record we find that the Ram runners made a nearly perfect debut as they trounced Hartland 16-47. They next dumped Old Town 21-34, but ended up in second place in a three-way meet against Lee and Ellsworth. The Maine Frosh kept Crimson hopes at low ebb as the powerful freshmen won 22-34. Next, Old Town and Lee forced the Rams to third place in the six-way Regional Meet. The Queen City Harriers conquered M.C.I. 22-32 to close out the regular season. !CONTINUED ON PAGE 90l

Basketball
Winning the Eastern Maine Championship and then losing the State Championship in successive weeks, the 1951 basketball Rams again showed the state that they could lose with a smile as well as win. Even when every "break of the game" turned against them, they displayed the sportsmanship and spirit that has marked Bangor High teams down through the years. Summing up the season's high1ights and record, we find that after racking up im pressive victories over Rockland, Fort Fairfield, and Presque Isle, the Barrymen took it on the chin, losing to Caribou and Houlton by very close scores. Following this erratic record, the leather-swishers from Bangor really hit a hot streak of 9 wins and 1 loss for an all-season's record of 12 wins and 3 losses. Opposing .the Stearns Minutemen, 1950 Eastern Maine Champs, after the Christmas vacation, the Rams, led by sharp-shooting Charlie Mooney with 23 points, and Bill Thibodeau with 9 buckets in the throws, piled up a 62-36 score to win. The Brewer Witches bit the dust in the next set-to, as Gary Burke racked up 22 points for individual honors. With Dick Russell hitting from his pivot-post and Walt Luro setting up the plays, the Crimson courtsters edged John Bapst 65-59, to end the Crusaders' win streak at six straight. , In the next three games, the Harlow-streeters dumped the Presque Isle Wildcats 48-37; Waterville Panthers 65-63, the first basketball victory for Bangor at Waterville in B. H. S. history; and Houlton 55-50, after being forced into a freeze to gain the verdict. After losing their next game to John Bapst, Bangor knocked off Brewer and Water ville, and then toppled Stearns in a thrilling overtime session to end the regular season as top rated team in Eastern Maine. Captain Charley Mooney, Gary Burke, Walter Luro, Dick Russell, and Bob Simpson, along with Bill Thibodeau before his severe ankle injury, were the starters in virtually every game; and all had a hand in Bangor's glory-bound trail. Dick Brown, John Arse nault and sophomore Don Pelkey led a strong bench crew. f i1·st row, left to right: Robert Simpson, Dick Merriman, John Arsenault, Bill Downes, Gary Burke, Harvard Bellatty, Walter Luro, James Hamilton, Philip Pearson.

Base 1b a ll In launching their defense of the Eastern Maine Class "L" .crown, the Bangor High baseball team continues to combine formidable fielding with excellent pitching and clutch hitting to remain undefeated in six starts, as the yearbook goes to press. On April 28, the local diamond season officially opened with a bang as the Barrymen,, behind 4-hit pitching by junior Harvard Bellatty, romped to a one-sided win over Houl ton 11-1. The Rams tallied three runs in the second inning, and then added single scores in the fourth and fifth, two in the seventh and four more in the eighth frame. First baseman Bob Simpson and sophomore catcher Jim Dewitt wielded the big bats for Bangor, each collecting two of the Rams' eight hits. One big inning in which 9 runs .crossed the plate was all that the Harlow-Streeters needed to crush John Bapst 17-3. Sid Farr, who has since left the team, started on the mound for Bangor, but wildness kept him in hot water in the early stages of the gam€ and he was replaced by Harvey Bellatty, who was, in turn, lifted in favor of sopho more Jerry Hayes. Together the Ram trio gave up but three singles to go with the three Cr usader runs. Shortstop John Arsenault, Phil Pearson and Bob Simpson each pounded out two safeties, with Pearson driving in four runs. Jim DeWitt walloped the longest ball of the day, a lusty double to left-center. Some nifty relief hurling by J erry "Staley" Hayes and real clutch hitting by left fielder "Jug" Merriman pulled the Rams out of a tight spot in their game with Fort Fairfield. The Tigers, holding onto a slim 3-2 lead going into the bottom half of the ninth, were just a single out away from the win, when Merriman doubled to left field, scoring speedy Walt Luro from first base with the tying run. In the last of the eleventh, Luro reached first on a fielders choice, stole second cleanly, and dashed home with the winning marker on Jug's second consecutive doubJe. Hayes, who relieved starter Bob Gammons, walked the first two men to face him in the tenth, balked them to second and third, then struck out two men in a row and forced the third to ground out to second base. !CONTINUED ON PAGE 9 1> First row, left to right: David Dearing, Ed Colburn, Keith Connors, Richard Brown, Jerry Talbot, Robert Chaput, Roy Bailey, Louis McCluskey.

Track With but two track meets under their belts and a long, hard grind facing them, Coach Cy Perkins' Cindermen are awaiting dual meets with Skowhegan and M.C.I., and then the annual state meet at Colby. In the meantime, a top conditioning program in the form of an inter-class track meet was held. Coach Perkins conducted the meet with the purpose of finding out what events the boys are best suited for. A powerful Maine Freshman squad toppled the Rams in the first meet 77%-3'9% which featured snow, rain, and then sunshine in that order. Despite lack of experience in many of the events, the Ram Thinclads showed promise in each. Gerry Talbot took individual honors for Bangor with firsts in the broad jump and javalin and thirds in the shot put and low hurdles for a total of 12 points. Sophomores Don Pelkey and Gerry Reynolds both showed promise, Pelkey scoring a second and a third in the two hurdle events, while Reynolds took a third in the 440 yard dash. In the pole vault, Charley Harlow soared 9 feet 6 inches to place first, closely followed by Bill Thibodeau. K'eith Conners hurled the discus 132 feet 9 inches to cop first place, while Stan Furrow took a third in the 880 yard dash and David Dearing ended up in second place in the Mile Run. On May 9th, the Harlow street spiksters traveled to windy Mayflower Hill on the Colby Campus to face the dangerous Colby Frosh and Higgins Classical Institute in a three-way meet. And for the first time in many years, the Rams defeated the Mule Year lings, scoring 35% points out of a possible 54 in field events. Bangor copped 56·% points, Colby had 46% and Higgins trailed with 14. Keith Conners, a definite threat for state honors, heaved the discus 141 feet 3 inches; and newcomer Dick Brown copped the javalin with a throw of 145 feet 2 inches. Charley Harlow and Bill Thibodeau were one two, respectively, again as they took honors in the pole vault for the second straight meet. Sprinter George Petrikas took thirds in the 100 and 200 yard dashes and a third in the broad jump. Petrikas is fast becoming one of the fastest sprinters in this section. Con ners, in addition to the discus win, took second in the shot put and third in the javalin. BASKETBALL With Thibodeau's injury popping up a few weeks before the tourney, things looked black for the Rams, but the worst was yet to come; namely, the injury to Bob Simpson. All of these things-good and bad-made up the background of the picture as Ban gor High moved into the tournament as the Number One Team in Eastern Maine. The 1'951 March Classic is now history, b:ut will long be remembered for its many thrilling moments of basketball which finally spelled victory for B.H.S. Who will ever forget Dick Russell's scoring in the Stearns game, Bob Simpson's scoring and rebounding in the Old Town contest, or Gary Burke's hard driving and work-horse ball-playing in every game? And no one will ever forget Charley Mooney running back and fourth near the mid-court line, screening Old Town players so that Walt Luro would have room to dribble the ball in his amazing 3-minute "freeze". These are the memories that will never fade from the minds of Bangor basketball fans or play ers., nor will the high-spirited moments of the State final against Westbrook soon be for gotten. With injury to Bob Simpson putting Crimson hopes on the "rocks," the Rams went into the State Championship with the same will-to-win they displayed in all of their games. After a spirited fight the Barrymen were on the short end of the score. So, another great season goes into the books marked "successful." Yes, the 1951 season will always be remembered as a great season-a Champion ship season. The leading scorer for the Rams this season was Captain Charley Mooney, whose 16.5 points average per game came mostly on his remarkable accuracy with long shots. Charlie scored a total of 248 points this year, making him one of the leading point get ters in the state. The hardest driver on the club and always in the thick of the fight in every ball game, Gary Burke racked up a total of 153 points. Captain-elect Dick Russell tossed in his 118 points mostly on pivot shots as he com bined a great rebound game to his point getting ability. Walter Luro was, without a doubt, the chief play-maker, ball-handler, and defen sive player for the Rams. When he wasn't setting up plays or "freezing" the ball, he was tossing in points, most of which were on "pops" from the outside. Walt's point total for the season was 107 points. Our two dead-eyes, Bob Simpson and Bill Thibodeau, who both ended the season on the injury list, added greatly to the Bangor attack. Simpson added an outstanding re bound game to his 94 points, while Thibodeau tossed in those buckets from the side with deadly accuracy. Tall Dick Brown and sophomore Don Pelkey found the hoop for 42 points between them to help the Ram cause and round out the scoring . .. BASEBALL In addition to Merriman's two doubles, Phil Peason clouted a double, knocking in a run, while right-fielder Carl Green knocked in the fourth run with a sharp single to right. Old Town met an old nemesis in the person of catcher Walt (Basketball Freeze) Luro, as the previously unbeaten Indians went down to their first loss of the young sea son. Luro, making his first baseball start for Bangor, walloped three sharp singles in three tries, knocked in a run, then picked two Indians off base with snappy throws, as the reliable backstop paced Red Barry's crew to their fourth straight win. Gerry Hayes again pitched for the Rams, scattering 7 Old Town hits while the Crimson Pastimers were collecting eight off Indian hurling. Sophomore Jamie Hamilton, also making his first start, rapped out 2 hits in 4 trips to the plate. A young pitching staff of Bellatty, Hayes and Gammons are at present the leading chuckers for Bangor, while a veteran outfield of Carl Green, Phil Pearson and Dick Merriman, from right to left respectively, are doing most of the pasture work. First baseman Bob Simpson, Billy Downes at second, John Arsenault at short and Captain ,Gary Burke at third are also a veteran aggregation. The catching department stands alone with Walt Luro and Jim Dewitt both doing outstanding work. All members of the teain are hitting the ball well, except Gary Burke. The regular third sacker for the last two seasons hasn't yet reached his previous hitting form, but when "Duffy" finds his batting eye, opposing pitchers had better duck because he hasn't b:een a regular for three years for nothing. Coach Barry has a capable assistant this season in Lloyd Baker, last year's ·captain -and second baseman. At present Lloyd is handling the third base coaching chores. TRACK Gerry Talbot won the broad jump with a leap of 18 feet 7 inches and took second place in the javalin. Dick Anderson and Walt Levansalor tied with ·two Colby men for first place in the high jump with a height of 5 feet 2 inches. Gerry Reynolds and Roy Bailey were second and third respectively in the 440, while Stan .Furrow turned in a sparkling performance, winning the 880 yd. run. He was followed closely by Duane Lane, who took second place in this event. The mile run was won by David Dearing to round out the scoring. ..
