THE CAULDRON 7 If VJDZTQAZIA Lf-11 1868-1938 Ir seems that the class of 1938 should turn their thoughts, for a short time at least, to that day in 1868 when our present high school was founded. It marked a 'day for Rockland when higher education had taken an uptrend and citizens realized that better facili- ties were needed to advance the educa- tion of their children. Throughout the years, as Rockland has grown, the student body has in- creased until several wings have been added to the former buildingg the faculty has been increased, and many supplementary studies and extra curri- cular activities swell the former few. ln seventy years of growth our high school has.made admirable progress, and it is with gratification we note that our high school has kept pace with other high schools throughout the country, and is one of the leading secondary schools in the State of Maine. G. A. R. SPRING LET-DOWN lfach spring there appears in the classrooms the unmistakable signs of what is commonly known as spring fever, Vacant stares in response to questions, homework poorly prepared if, indeed, it is prepared at all, inattcntiye- ness and ill-concealed boredom, all these mark the final stretch before summer vacation. Teachers wonder what is happening. pupils don't care. Of course the only thing for the instructors to do is assign more work which does not help the situation. The only thoughts in the minds of the students are thoughts of track, baseball, golf, tennis and last but by no means least, lovc. This unex- plainable phenomena probably takes Il greater toll of victims than any other thing. Every person affected with this strange malady invariably believes him- self, or herself, to be the only one in- fluenced by it. How wrong he or she isl Spring fever has been recognized through the ages as a menace and the sufferers have been doscd accordingly. However no powder or liquid has been found, with the possible exception of sulphur and molasses, to check the course of this dread fever. Therefore the only prescription that can rbc ,given at the present time is to grin and bear it. D. If. lil.
