A large number of tons were brought in and taken to the lot opposite the school building. Among those who worked very hard at this were Earl Eustis, Dick Stinchlield, Bud Smith, Frank Beal, Ding Masterman and Floyd Norton. Earl and Dick .went out with a truck and brought in 25,000 lbs. together. The money from this was put into chairs for the Community Building.

FRESHMAN INITIATION As usual we had a rollicking good time at initiation this year. The Sophies had a great time making the green Freshies do different Hoot with their nose, eating cow's eye, and feeding each other blueberry pie, blind- folded. The boys were dressed in girls' clothes and the girls in boys' clothes. The Freshies have not been green since and are looking forward to their turn next fall. SENDING NEWS SHEET TO BOYS IN SERVICE During the past year we have sent six issues of the News Sheet to the boys in the service. We hope that all have enjoyed this bit of news from the school and the home town. We now have over one hundred and twenty-live names on the mailing list. An- other year we hope to make this paper larger and better. VVe are very grateful to the many citizens who have contributed articles. We hope that many others will find time to write a word to these young men who are doing so much for their country. Hand it to us and we will be glad to pass it on. PHYSICAL EDUCATION For years physical education has been re- quired by law in all schools. But because of the lack of proper facilities in many towns the law had never been enforced. Last fall the army urged that all schools adopt a physical Fitness program. And in October we started a course of three hours each week for all boys and girls.

Wilbur Our new building proved ideal. lf we could have had mats and other gymnasium have made the work despite this handicap we feel that we have carried on a worthwhile program. equipment we could more interesting, but ln addition to this physical training the most of the boys are members of the Home Guard and receive an additional three hours' training each week. Farly in the fall a group of boys and girls were chosen to go to Farmington to learn to be leaders. They spent the day and learned many new tricks which they have shown the others. We like our physical training course and it is much better than standing around and watching others exercise as many of us have done in the past. MAGAZINE CONTEST ln October the annual magazine contest, sponsored by the Crowell Publishing Com- pany, was held. Frank Beal was the leading salesman, The school earned enough money to pay for the football uniforms and clean up the 1942 deficit. VVe wish to thank all who helped to make this drive a success. NEW CHAIRS FOR THE COMMUNITY BUILDING ln the last issue of the Phillipian the Class of l9-12 suggested that we start a fund for chairs. During the past year we have turned over two hundred and ninety-eight dollars. At Christmas two hundred chairs were pur- chased, and the Legion reports that the last payment has been made.
