EDITURIAL Within the last six years, we sen- iors have noted a great many changes in our high school. During the summer of 1947, our school suffered through a much-need- ed cleaning and face-lifting for which it, Cas well as wel were extremely grateful. Rooms were changed from dull, ugly walls to pleasing blue, green and yellow shades. Desks were sanded and varnished as were all the floors throughout th-e building. A cluttered attic was transformed into a makeshift storeroom with book- shelves of a sort. One addition is a Music Depart- ment, from which we, as a group, have derived much pleasure in our four years of Sr. High and two y-ears of Jr. High School. Not to be left unmentioned is our Home Economics Department, in which the girls produce all kinds of tasty f'?J dishes and missewn gar- ments, as Well as keeping up with all of the ever changing developments in the science of living. Last sum-mer, H. H. S. was sup- plied With a gleaming white exterior which made an occasion for great re- joicing. This year We have 'been noticing more and rather unpleasing circum- stances. The once bright Walls are marked with dirt and streaks caused by feet which were put there for sup- poiit of a tilted chair. Desks are scarred with pencil marks in the shape of initials and just plain gashes. We Seniors are as guilty as any- one for this mistreattment of our school property. However, as. Seniors, we recall many interesting, humorous, and tra- gic events as well as many close scrapesg Cmainly cleaning gum off fthe floor with several all-too-efficient gum-Scrapers designed for punish- ment of illegal gum-chewing, and which did not remain idlelj There wer-e the class meetings, never-to-be-forgotten in their Demo- craltic principles. The majority rules in a Democracy, and there is, of necessity, suppression of the minori- ty, meaning Lue and me, the only two girls in our class against five 'boys. lt was rather strange that, although the boys planned every- thing, we two lonely Women carried almost all the load of actual work. We Wish to thank all our teachers, especially, for their kindliness, friendship and guidance. There are some teachers who have left us. Our thanks to them also. They led and advised us in some rocky places of our 4-year careers art Harmony High. To all interested citizens and friends, our grateful thanks for your whole- hearted support of our school. The school is only as good as the people 'behind it. You wonderful Alumni! Keep sup- porting H. H. S. as you have been in our four years here. That gym was trulv an inspiration! This is evi- dent from our laslt year's champion- ship team and the development of our girls' squad. Next year we will lend you our support. too, and thus show you our appreciation. As we complete this chapter of our lives, we feel prepared for what- ever life may bring, and for a part- insrlthought, may we say, Without Faith, one can do nothing. The Editor Us tffil W. fxl F lil The Thing The night was dark and still, too still, and as I walked along the lone- ly road toward home I had a creepy feeling that I was being followed. I turned and looked but nothing was behind me. Then it came, an un- earthly, 'blood-curdling scream! My heart stopped! The scream had come from the swamp and I had to walk through that swamp before I reached home. Of course it might have been only a bobcat but I couldn't get that scream out of my mind, it had been so horrible. As though someone we-re being tortured, and it had always been the legend that this swamp was used for a place to torture traitors. By now I was half-way through the swamp and growing more frighten- ed with each step. I listened again and heard a sound like footsteps right in the woods- beside me. I couldn't move! I was scared nearly to death! I forced myself to look at the spot from which the sound had come. My blood froze! There it wasg the most hideous looking thing ll had ever seen! It was too dark for me to make out any features but it was covered with the slimy green muck from the swamp. It came almost to me, stretching its dripping arms, then stopped, and I, frozen to the spot, heard a scream ten times worse than the one before. My legs suddenly went into motion and I ran as never fi i My v l . . If .. before, until my foot caught on a stump. I was down, then up and running again. Now the thing was almost upon me. I reached the house, got inside, slammed the door and locked it, then collapsed on the Hoor. When I was able to talk again, I told mother what hai happened. She stared at me, and d'dn't believe a word of what I said. But it was true! I had seen itg been chased by it! I could see when she to.d my fath- er that he didn't think much of my story, either. I went outdoors, then stoppedg for there on the doorstep were two big footprints that couldn't have been made by a human. When father and mother came at my frantic call, they stared at the prints, and the next day we moved away. They knew that I had seen THE THING. Wilma McPherson '56 My Likes and Dislikes I shall tell some of the ordinary things which are either likes or dis- likes to me: I dislike the song, Eliza Jane, sung by the great harmonizing trio known as Victor, Gordon and Rodney. The reason I dislike the song is because they sing so loud and so close to my ear that they Cmy earsj ring for a few minlutes- afterward. They are forever bragging about the Chevro- let car and the more advanced de- signs it has than the Ford tand I clon't 'believe the highest priced car has them yetlj They tell what bet- ter programs they are able to get on the Chevrolet radio, but I think the programs are the same on any radio. No matter what they say, they seem to like to ride in a Ford. Delmont Howell '53 The Fleejum The Fleejum is a thing which is and isn't. During the time it Was, some people suspected it of not be- ing. This is what started all the trou- ble that wasn't. For how could there be trouble with a non-existent causeg however, why was there trouble if there wasn't a cause? There must have been a cause for we certainly had trouble. People would not make trouble over a thing they didn't think was, unless this non-existent thing had obtained something from them under false pretence. If it had obtained something from them, then it must beg for what would a non- existent thing want with something? We took this all in consideration and finally tracked the trouble to its non-existent route. By this time we discovered that the Fleejum does not exist, so the trouble died down. Patricia Gourley '54 Waltzing vs. Clumsin-ess As I picked up the pieces of a broken vase, which had just been knocked over by Elwin, I noticed the heading Dancing Overcomes Cllum- siness , on the page of an open mag- azine. Putting the dustpan and brush down on the living room floor, I start- ed to read the article. It said the best way to cure a boy of clumsiness is to teach the boy to dance. Ha, here was the solution to moth- er's broken vases! All I had to do was to teach Elwin to dance and he'd be as graceful as a doe. Elwin is the clumsiest person this side of the moon. He trips over everythQng from a common pin to a piano. The thing for him was dancing lessons. The next night the lessons began. What a mistake! I'm still limping. We started with the waltz. I had him counting 1, 2, 3 to the Blue Danube. So far, so good. As soon as he caught the rhythm, we started the step. Talk about Wooden legs! ! Elwin must have steel! He dances like a tin soldier. And what is worse he bobs back and forth like a cork in a gale at sea. Oh, well, everyone has his own style of danc'ng, but El- win's happens to be the bobbing cork-tin soldier style. Jrst as I t-hought we were mak'n'r progress, Elwin started adding a frncy new step of his own. In spite of my 1. 2, 3's he managed to stick a four in between the 3 antl 1. lt took me a half hour to correct this. I'm warning you, 'before you undertake such a proposition as teaching a boy to dance, buy yourself a pair of men's foundry shoes. Elwin insisted on dancing on my toes. Perhaps the floor was too hard for him. After playing the Blue Danube :Haut Uskatey-dighti' times, I got just a wee bit sick of it, but not El- winl He was content to waltz all night. Finally I gave up. But Elwin continued-alone, merrily tripping over my favorite hit records. He knows how to dance all right. He does better than his teacher does now, but-and what a but! He's be- coming so interested in learning to dance new steps that he practices them at my house continually, while knocking over everything in sight. Dancing certainly has helped his clumsiness! From bad to worse. The last straw came recently. While prac- ticing the tango, he 'bumped into a stand and broke mother's best lamp. After the mess was cleaned up, I decided to write a letter to that l2'fT'lC'b1'i1lI1GCl author who wrote the cockeyed article and tell him a thing or two about dancing curing clumsi- ness! I I Beverly Coro '55 Gifs' Basketball Team of H. H. S. Pat is the captain of our squad, We all think she- should have a re- ward For giving up praise when the score was near. We hope she'll he captain again next year. Next comes Nonie, who is quite small, l-Sut she gets those rebounds like nothing at all. lip goes the ball and, usually, in. S-he still has a 'feeling that H. H. S. will win. .A rleen is the highest scorer this year. We as a team want to give her a cheer. She dribbles, pivots and shoots with a hook, And she is tops in the SCO1'Gl',S book. Florence is the tallest of all. She has the height for basketball. She gets those rebounds mighty quick. With the help of the others she's very slick. Dawna is our blond bomber, left guard and number 8. We all should hate to lose her for all the fun she makes. She is popular for her fouls, but we really don't mind. The next line we tried, but couldn't make it rhyme. Meredith is a cute little lass. She comes on the Hom' quick as a flash. She's pretty good out on the court, And all in all she's a very good sport. Last comes Jackie, but not the least On our High School Basketball Team. We all think s'he's a very good kid, But Archie thinks she's a dream. We thank the eighth graders For competing on our team: When they play basketball They are really on the beam. Our greatest thanks goes to our coach, Who is new to us this year. For coaching the Girls' Basketball Team He has certainly been a dear. Arleen Ames and Dawna Olson '56 God's Love I went to tell you of a Love Much greater, richer, than we know. It is unbounded, far above Any we 'have on earth to show. This Love can reach a Soul's despair, Can lift it on to newer heights, 'Til it, in joy, gains clearer air, Gois, trusting, thru the darkest nights. This Love can take a man's lost life And guide it to a brighter plane, Free it from all care and strife And, finally, bring it Home again. This Love, infinite, can restore The one whose weary feet have trod The path of life, and, suif'ring sore, Is ready to yield all to God. For this is God's own Love, my friend, The God who sent His Son to die, To grant you life without an end, Eternal Life, with Him on High! Christ lived to die upon a Cross, Taking your Sin, all, with Him there If you reject Him, what a loss! You get, instead, Hell for your share. If you accept His death for you, Believe He'll save you from all Sin Ask Him to give you life anew. Then to your heart He'll enter in. This Love has raised a Soul's despair Guided a life to brighter planes, Restored a spirit worn with care, And over all now gently reigns. Iris Downs '53 Senior Members We know that Lue is getting fat And wants to go to collegeg Maybe her head is getting swelled From holding all that knowledge. Each morning Dana milks the cows Till all the pails are full. It will make him a good living, if He doesn't lose his pull. Gerry is a glamour boy And he can croon like Bing. We hope that some 'bright day He will learn to sing. Iris is a sweater girl. She's going to P. B. I. When Salvation came her way She didn't pass it by. Victor has got curly hair. He doesn't need a Toni. He says his curls are natural But we 'think they are phony. Dellie is the shy one Or he was until this yea1'. We're wondering what Freshman girl Brought hi-m so much fear. The other member of the class Is, of course, the best. I think I'm pretty wonderful But some think I'm a pestg Rodney Curtis '52 Basketball In Jackman There goes Gordon down the Hoorg Will he make the score two more? He shot and hit the pipes o'erhead. Jackman out , the referee said. Now it is Jackman ahead 'by three. The referee calls, Foul on 23! Earl stands -there with a forlorn look, When Vic gets the ball and in with a hook. They pass the ball to Cecil, He stands there with a grin. He drilbbles to Jackman's basket And there he puts it in. The boys try to stop him As he driblbles down the floor. But Cecil does not hear them Above the hilarious roar. Gerry is a great surprise To himself tonight. With his hook shot working fine He will do all right. Dellie gets his shots away, Even past a guard. So we'll win the ball game By playing pretty hard. Patricia Gourley '54 Crash Dive , The little plane stood on the snow, All painted orange and black. No one knew when it left the field, It never would come back. The pilot took controls in hand, The helper spun -the prop. The little motor roared to life, Exhaust 'burst from the top. The plane released, all bonds re- moved, It thundered down the strip. It quickly rose into the air, Upon its very first trip. The little plane circled the strip, Then dove into the lane. I dug out the twisted wreckage of' My little model plane. Gerald Stadig '53 Lue's First Try at the Wheel Luo took the car angl went for a drive one day. She hadn't asked her fatlxcr for the c:1r because she knew lic wo1ildn't let her take it. Wlzcn Lue drove into the driveway ter father was somewhat relieved :nfl was so glad that he had his car back in one piece that he didn't even say a word to her about taking the car without asking. Instead he said, How did you make it? Have any trouble? No, not too much I guess. I only went through live red lights and got a bill for you to pay at the Police Station. Oh, no! he ex- claimed, tell me about it. Well, it was like this. I was driv- ing along and saw the light turn red and pushed on the pedal but there was no brake! No 'brake? he said, there al- ways was a brake. Are you sure? Oh, yes , Lue said. I pushed the pedal on the left way to the iioorf' Oh, you dope! That was the clutch. Oh, never mind. Then what happen- ed? Well, a fellow on a bicycle with a motor on it came alongside the car and said, Pull over lady and I said, What's the matter, Mack. Ain't you got room to pass? And what do you knowg the next thing I knew he took me to the court house and a fellow with a book came up to me and said, Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and noth- ing but the truth, so help you God ? and I said, Don't get noisy, bud. Tlien there was quite a commotion, and to add to it all someone started to pound a nail into a wooden desk with a hammer. Oh, you nut-head! her father screamed, that was the judijef, I know , she said, I found that out, too, when I asked him how he felt and he said Fine, S'p50.00. Gordon Lombard '54 IF! IF we had quiet study halls, the Prin- c'pal would celebrate. Wed know that Zane Cray's clock is working, IF he wasn't always late. IF Donald Davis would reform, Sing Sing would lose a candidate. In fact IF he won't quiet down, he's apt to need an upper plate. IF Sunshine hadn't all the charm, the other girls would like her better. Florence would phone trans-Atlantic, IF each day didn't bring a letter. IF Arthur should turn British while he's stationed 'crost the briny, And IIF he and Florence marry, they could raise some little limeys. Iris would be broken-hearted IF she should ever lose her horse. IF the horse is slightly swaybacked, we can understand, of course! IF Gordon, Vic and Gerald would give up their vocalizing, Our tempers would improve and we'd feel more like socializing. IF Letha Cray should stop her clown- ing we'd miss our female Grou- cho Marx. The Cobb's car would be all in one piece, IF there weren't trees where Charles Cobb parks. WHAT WE HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF THE HOME EC. COURSE In our three years of Home Eco- nomics, We have learned many things that are useful to us now and will be in the future. In the beginning of the Freshman year, we studied Personal Appear- ance and Grooming , in which we learned about 'becoming colors, pos- ture, types of clothes for different figures, hair-dos, care of clothes and care of hands. Another subject was Nutrition iifr Health. We studied the im- portance of good foods in our daily diet. We made charts on the basic seven and food nutrients and also took up calorie requirements- Our Personal and Social Living unit taught us how to get along well with ourselves and others. In Budgeting, we studied how to get our money's worth, the influence of advertising, and informative la- bels. Our Sophomore year brought us cooking, home nursing, clothing and child care. In cooking we canned, planned and cooked meals. 'Our Foods also in- cluded table etiquette and table ser- vice. In home nursing we discussed Causes and Symptoms of Illness, Ill- ness and How to Meet it. The Pa- tient in Bed, Food and Nutrition, Nursing Care in Special Conditions, Home Emergencies, Personal and Family Health, Community Health, and Home Nursing Procedures. In child care, We devoted our dis- cussions to baby sitting. Our last project of the year was Clothing, in which we studied parts and uses of a sewing machine, tex- tiles, patterns, and sewing by hand. For clothing projects We made a dress, a house-coat, skirts, blouses, baby clothes, and pajamas. The work in the Junior year has been more advanced. It has included Clothing, Home Improvement, Home Management and Personal Problems. We learned to recognize many fab- rics, and visited the cotton mill in Waterville, the woolen mill in Guil- ford, and the local yarn mill, We also attended a Fashion Show in Skowhegan. In Home Improvement, we con- sidered what we want in a home, how to judge values when we 'buy, build, or rent, ithe -basic rule for color and design, furniture styles, arrange- ments, and expressing our individu- ality' In Home Management, we studied buying guides. how to 'become a wise consumer and to reduce the cost of maintaining and improving our homes. The last few weeks of school were devoted to Personal Problems. In the last two years we have each com- pleted four home projects. We recommend the Home Ec. Course to any girl wishing a home of her own or any other career, as this course will be most helpful in other kinds of work. We wish to express our thanks lo Mrs. Matijczyk, Mrs. Reed, Mrs. Cross and Miss Ham for their pa- tience and guidance during this course. We have enjoyed the past three years of Home Ee. very much and hope our next and last year will be as enjoyable and successful. Florence Folsom Gloria Curtis Winona Knowlton Patricia Gourley '54 FRESHMAN SCIENCE OF DAILY LIVING We started the Freshman Year With our first course in Home Ec. We owe our thanks to poor Miss Ham. She's almost a total wreck- The first unit was Personal Groom- ing, We learned a lot from it. We tried some good dishes at home Tho' our mothers had quite a fit. The second unit was Vocations, A help to our future lives. We'll make excellent career girls And to some poor men, good wives. Our next experience was in sewing And we learned the parts of a ma- chine. She showed us how to oil it- And how to stitch a fine seam. The third course was Nutrition, We planned a 'balanced meal. We haven't finished the course as yet, But are hoping to learn a great deal. We studied Vitamins from A to K, And what they mean to us. We learned about the minerals Calcium and Phosphorous. Our other courses will include You and Your Spending Money. We'll learn the facts about all this Which we spend so fast it isn't funny. The next unit is child care and guid- ance, Which we think will be great fun. Living with Yourself and Others, Will help us in the years to come- We plan to have a Silver Tea, Which will be quite exquisite. We're raising money for the living- room set To make it look swell when you Visit. We went to an annual fashion show Out Skowhegan way. We saw many styles and colors That will help us day by day. We're looking eagerly forward to Another happy year, With Miss Ham, our Home Ec. teach- er To guide, direct, and cheer. Letha Gray Arleen Ames Dawna J.

SENIOR PLAY Hardly had we seniors gotten ad- justed to our new exalted positions before it was announced thalt we should start planning for the annual Senior Play. After a series of demo- cratic meetings, and much discus- sion, we hit on The Zombie , a mur- der story. Since it required six women and six men, We summoned four junior class femmes to our assistance. Final- ly, the cast was as follows: Dr. Reeder Gerald Stadig Adele Luella Gardner Irving Stafford Victor Linkletter Doris Sterne Iris Downs Robert Packard Herbert Pelkey Lynn Beula Patricia 'Gourlev Lawrence Delmont Howell Michael Dana Huff Mystery Woman Winona Knowlton Se nora Fernando Florence Folsom Margot Constance Burr Zombie Rodney Curtis Our hearty thank-s go to Mr. Con- nolly, our coach, who stuck with us when the going was rough, and final- ly succeeded by his slave-driving tac- tics to get us to produce the play in a manner which was related by the audience as being one of the- out- standing jobs of play production in Harmony High School. Thanks also are exftended to the four junior girls who put so much into our play, and to the junior boys, Gordon Lombard and Zane Cray, who were in charge of the sound and lighting effects. We hope that next year's play will meet with the same success which ours has. JUNIOR CLASS Seated l. to r.: Z. Cray, G. Lombard, W. Knowlton, F. Folsom. Standing 1. to r.: P.

Everyone had an enjoyable time with refreshments, games and movies- Hit of the evening was an extremely amusing Man from Mars. KNO one is certain, even now, who he Was.J The Peanut Hunt was a scream and a laugh, as the Sophomores were led to believe that they had all the pea- nuts. As it happened, two of the Freshman girls had hidden two jars of peanuts from the Sophies. The Freshmen, of course, Won, even though it was thought that the Soph- omores did. Letha.

Ques- tions were flying around, such as, Who's goin-g to play guard ? Who's going to play forward? and Who will play Center?' Finally we came to a decision: Leave it to the coach. The firslt practic estarted when two bright and smiling faces appeared from the dressing room, attached to two bodies attired in White sneakers and shorts. These two turned out to be Earl Mitchell and Cecil Chad- bourne, our left guard and right for- ward. Some minutes later, several other boys came out of the dressing room and our first practice got under way. After having it understood that we would keep our bodies in good physical condition during the season, our practice resumed. After several nights of this, our coach, Mr. Mur- ray, thought he had drilled us enough to prepare us for our first scrimmage of the year. The whistle blew and the scrimmage started. The next minute the whistle blew again and, Back to Drills! A few more practices placed Earl Mitchell and Herbert Pelkey in the guard positions with Cecil Chad- bourne and Gordon Lombard in the forward positions, and Victor Link- letter taking Center. Later in the year our squad was cut from ten to nine when Herbert Pelkey left us. This cut saw Gordon Lombard switch from forward position to guard. The vacant forward position was fought for by Delmont Howell and Gerald Stadig. but Del came out on top. However. Gerry proved himself cap- able of playing ball. For when Earl Mitchell, the best in the :foul depart- ment, would tloul out or have to take a rest , our coach put Gerry into the game. At those times he really proved his worth to the team. The other players who made up the squad were: Charles Cobb, Allan Sidell, Zane Cray and Gary Noyes. The Seniors leaving us this year, who were on the team, are Victor Link- letter, Delmont Howell and Gerald Starlig. At the start of the basketball sea- son we had a schedule of sixteen gamesg 'fourteen league games and two with Clinton. As the season moved on, we scheduled practice games with Dexter J. V.'s. Then two games with the Town Team and Alumni wound up the season with 23 games and an overall record of fif- teen wins and eight losses- The teams we played and the scores were as follows: H. H. S.

The Harmony High School team overpowered their opponents in the four games played, thus giving Har- mony the championship of the lea- gue, and placing us in the State play- offs. We were defeated in the first round of this contest by E. Corinth: score, 7 to The players that were lost from the team were Vernon Carr, Donald Kimball, Clifton Brown and Sherman Perry. The other 'boys making up the squad were Dana Huff, Earl Mitchell, Dcjlmont Howell, Herbert Pelkey, Charles Cobb, Rodney Curtis, Waynard Folsom and Gordon Lom- bard. The split season didn't really come into effect until the fall of '52. This saw our new coach, Mrs- Tracy, try- ing to defend the name of Harmony High School Champions in the U. K. V. L. league. We won two and lost three of our games played last fall. The other games that will complete the split season will be played in the spring of '52. The boys that make up the team this year are Gerald Stadig, Way- nard Folsom, Victor Linkletter, Del- mont Howell, Norman Ames, Bruce York, Rodney Curtis, Dania. Iilatf, Earl Mitchell, Charles Cobb, Gary Noyes and Gordon Lombard. The boys are in hopes to better the record this spring, as last fall losses were by one run in two of the games and two runs in the other game.

This is what we all really had on our minds from the first day of school and went into our first practice with a lot of vim and vigor. In this, Mr. St. Pierre had a little better luck with his medicine as we really went to town and won half of the games we played- Arleen discovered that hookshots were her specialty, and Pat put her name in bright lights with her set shots. Florence and Dawna were discovered and were thankful for much eating and fast growing as they were our tallest guards. Nonie, our peanut of the team, was always waiting for all the rebounds that came along. Lo- retta and Margaret, our most-used subs. have helped us win our games. you girls are forgotten because if it Now don't think that the rest of hadn't been for you Meredith, Jackie, J o-Ann and Alice to help in our prac- tices and stand behind us we cer- tainly wouldn't have the wonderful record we have this year. So, Coach. get your feet braced for a bigger and better team next year. The high scorer of our team was Arleen Ames, and Pat Gourley was chosen to play in the All-Star Game at No. Anson.

I We started our fall term of softball with a bang which popped loudly when we helplessly and hopelessly lost our three games to our friendly neighbors. Our coach, Mr. St. Pierre tried to whip us into shape but we just didn't digest the prescribed medicine so remained soft, but, cheer up, Coach! We all cross our hearts and hope to die that the spring will blossom out some very good soft-ball players. Our scores were as follows: H. H. S.

Harmony High School has a band. Last summer 'there were rumors that a new music teacher was coming to fill Mr. Lamb's place. We all re- gretted seeing him go and we all are grateful to him for the musical start he gave us. The rumors became fact on Sept. 11, 1952, when Mr. Alexander Econo- mos arrived at H. H. S. -to begin an entirely new music program. Since then the number of students study- ing musical instruments has declined, but the early confusion has finally boiled down to a progressive band of people. We played several marches with the- Union No. 63 Band at the April 14 spelling contest in St. Albans. The loand is also going to take a trip to Waterville to hear the U. S. Navy Band Concert April 25. Mr. Economos has taken every- thing in hand, and although it may take time, H. H. S. will eventually have an excellent music department. . CHORUS Since Mr. Economos came, the Jr. and Sr. High School Choruses have merged into one Chorus. We have three new music books from which we have sung many songs. The music program has been chang- ed. Our chorus of members has studied music appreciation, has done much reviewing of note Values and key signatures, and has learned musi- cal terms. Mr. Economos is doing a first-rate job in teaching us. His methods are different than were Mr. Lamb's, but every chorus member feels we are getting as much from music, so nothing was lost by the change of teachers. Iris Downs was sent as a repre- sentative of the Harmony Chorusto participate in the All-Kennelbec- Val- ley Chorus which presented four con- certs in January along with the Ken- nebec-Valley Orchestra and Band. Many new things have been learn- ed and tried since Mr. Economos ar- rived and we wish to thank him for his whole-hearted interest in our school. ' STUDENT COUNCIL Seated l. to r.: C. Chadbourne, I.

The Sophomores deserve the high- est commendation for their excellent 'ideas and cooperation with Luollla Gardner, the Comet typist. She has contributed generously of her time and talents in typing it and supplying cartoons for its betterment. It is sincerely hoped by the- fosters of this idea, the Sophomores, that this publication will continue throu- ghout Harmony High's fu-ture years and that each succeeding year will find an increase in subscribers and improvements.
