SOMEONEMETRY Here I sit in a fog, not knowing what to write. Mr. Reynolds is standing at the end of the table, leaning on one hand talking about geometry - - that crazy stuff, geometry. From what I gather the problem has something to do with a tower. What they are trying to do with the poor old tower, only the Lord knows. One student says, This is north. Another says, Not either, it's south. Now Mr. Reynolds starts in on planes and has pencils and rulers spread out all over the table. He stands straight now and rubs his chin and says, Well Finally he goes back to his study hall desk and the poor little dears have to figure it out for themselves. I learned later that it was not geometry they were doing, but trigonometry. Oh well, trigonome- try, sprigonometry - - it all sounds the same to me. -RICHARD Woonwoaru '55 -T11-01-114 BOOKS Books are things which students avoid Whether they be Shakespeare or Freud. Books can be large, small, thick or thin, Telling of the present, future or what has been. There are books of the old medieval time, And also books that are sold for a dime. Then there are books of long and windy orations And those that tell love tales of the nations. To some, books are treasures to be taken great care of, But to the student, all books are to beware of. -ERLA CLEAVES '55 ..o -1. SPORTSMANSHIP Recently in the Bar Harbor Times appeared an editorial on basketball, the last paragraph of which So long as we feel that local bas- ketball is an outlet for infantile emo- tionalism of some of the fans we shall feature stories of the weather - - and not basketball. What has happened this past year to make Mr. Shea, himself a basketball fan, adopt such a strong editorial tone? The reason is simple. Some fans, definitely the minority here on Mount Desert Island, have through their poor sportsmanship spoiled the fun and pur- pose of basketball for the fans who still enjoy this sport as it should be enjoyed by all. This is the reason, above any other, that I hoped Bar Harbor High School would win the Bangor Junior Chamber of Commerce good sportsmanship award for medium schools. This award is given annually to the school participating in the Eastern Maine tournament that shows the best sportsman- ship. Bar Harbor's courtesy and politeness to fans, players, and cheerleaders of other teams was nearly above reproach and the older fans followed the students' example. Their combined efforts won for our school a banner which should be prized by all students, faculty, and alumni of Bar Harbor High School. Perhaps Bar Harbor's conduct will prove to all that courtesy is the best policy and in the future basketball on Mount Desert Island will regain its proper place as a sport. -JOYCE HIGGINS '58 ii,-0- Oh teacher, teacher, You know itis no useg So please be obliging And turn me loose.
