QIEILBUTTQJIPZHIPJLSQ MRS. BLANCHE BUTFERFIELD The summer vacation of I937 which provided many with much joy also was the cause of much sorrow for all peo- ple connected with Biddeford High School, due to the death of Mrs. Blanche Butterfield, former Senior Eng- lish teacher. To the students of the school, Mrs. Butterfield was a source of information, joy, and help. Although in failing health during the latter part of her teaching career, she did not let this hin- der her friendship and kindness towards her pupils. Knowing this fact, they loved her all the more for it, and con- tinually sought her friendship. Her position may be filled efficiently time and time again, but in all hearts will there ever be a fond remembrance of a kind teacher and friend. John Tarpy. MANNERS This admonishing editorial does not undertake to point out to the students of B. H. S. that they are ill-mannered. Far from it. They are merely thought- less, but thoughtlessness may have dire results. For example: if your path lies past a door from which a dismissed class is literally rushing, it is almost like trying to break through the ranks of an onrushing army. Lock-step is not suggestedg merely a regard for the fellow student. Don't always dispute the right of way. What if everyone did? Some unfortunate autoists have insisted on their right of way. They're dead. On the stairs, especially, thought should be given to orderly passing, as a misstep here might win a fractured skull. Several times we have wit- nessed the tragic result of a thoughtless push: books and papers are scattered over the steps in a general state of chaos and needless damage. Respect for teachers also comes un- der the heading of manners. As the doors of B. I-l. SI. were not designed to accommodate comfortably more than one person at a time, step aside, let your teacher enter first. lmpertinence to teachers should not be necessary to mention, but here again thoughtlessness often prevails. A re- mark which could easilyuxbe made jok- ingly to a school chum ought to be ab- solutely out in class room etiquette. Let us, therefore, strive for polite- ness. No one ever lost anything worth- while by being polite. The Editor. WHAT IS OUR AIM? What is our aim? Toward what are we struggling through these school years? Although the questioin is a broad one, let us hope that the answer is a goal not without a purpose. Our great aim in life, whether or not we ad- mit it, is to secure happiness. And happiness comes only from hard work, from success, and, most of all, from the joy of making others around us happy. Sometimes we are so busy that we forget that everyone wants happi- ness as much as we do. Our aim in life, to bring that happiness, must be something that is going to benefit our environment. Think of the marvelous things that others have done to make
