hundred volumes, covers a wide range of subjects, but is especially rich in literature and history. It is to be known as the Samuel K. Hamilton Memorial Collection.. A design for a book-plate, which will be placed in each volume, is being made. Tim collection, together with other generous gifts from citizens of the town, will form the nu cleus of an unusual reference library for a high school. THE DEBATE Because of the crowded conditions in the Old High School, many school societies, in- cluding the debating clubs, have been discon- tinued. As soon as we enter the New High School, however, we plan to have a debate. The question to be discussed is. Resolved ; that the United States should enter the League of Nations. The affirmative will be upheld by Gordon Miller and Mabel Perry; the nega- tive by George Flint and Anna Hayden. The debate will probably take place in the auditorium of the new high school. There is some talk of judging the debate according to the method used at Oxford, England. Those of the audience who vote for the affirmative, leaving the auditorium at one door, and those voting for the negative, leaving at another door. K. C. WATER SPORTS FOR W. H. S.? In keeping with the plans being laid for the encouragement of winter sports in Wake- field, might come the adoption of some water sports by the members of W. H. S. Many ideas for sponsoring winter sports have been advanced, now why not go a step farther and have some summer sports as well as winter ones, and make the lake a recreation ground for all seasons of the year? This would make an ideal spot for water sports such as shell racing and swimming, so why not organ- ize a crew and perhaps a swimming team among some of the nautically inclined mem- bers of our school? This would probably be the first High School in this section to have anything of the sort, and it would undoubted ly go big if given the proper support. If started, other schools would fall in line, and a new and interesting sport would be intro- duced, which would train athletes for the col- lege crews. It would not entail any great expense, and not necessitate very much equip- ment, so why not? H. K. M. CHANGES OF TEACHERS Last June two teachers resigned, Miss Frost and Miss Menard, and in September three new teachers were added to the faculty: Miss Lillian Hurley, teacher of Spanish and French; Miss Harriet Mason, teacher of French, and Miss Mildred Jones, teacher of Domestic Science. Miss Chloe Cousins, who came last spring to succeed Miss Hester Sharkey as teacher of Spanish, was trans ferred to the afternoon classes, and teaches English and Civics. Miss Harriet Sweetser was transferred to the morning classes and teaches sophomore and junior English. She also has charge of the rhetorieals. K. C. We congratulate The Booster on its suc- cess as an all round athletic paper. It proves that school spirit in Wakefield High School is far from dead. The editors thank all those who have helped to make the Debater a success. SPRING Do you ever in tlie spring, When you hear the robin sinjj. Wish that you might go and stray, Jn the woodland far away, — Far away from school and books, Lie beside the babbling brooks, Watch the bluebird on the wing, Hear your own heart joyous sing? Oh! the happiness of the spring, And the happy hours it brings! FRANCES DORAN, ' 26. MORNING AND AFTERNOON The hours are long in the morning With their skies and hopes so bright, But here is a word of warning, They are short along toward night. So if there ' s a task you wish to do Oh, get at your work right soon, For a morning hour is well worth two That comes in the afternoon. DOROTHY HOPKLNS, ' 25. 17

EXCHANGE EDITOR DAY The sun arose in bright array, And Hooded lake and hill ; Mysterious rustlings filled the wood, A moment before so still. The woodmouse crept from under his leaf, The squirrel peeped from his tree; The birds poured forth their joyous song, Eilling the air with glee. And when the sun had sunk again, Withdrawing his last red ray, The wood with silence was filled, except When Hushwing who-hoo-d for his prey. CATHERINE CLARK, ' 23. 19
