The new building has been completed and is a great im- provement over the old one. The lockers please the students very much. Now they don’t have to worry about their coats being taken by mistake. The laboratory is a wonderful room equipped with many useful things that were missing in the old one. The flowers grown by Mr. Stahura give the laboratory a charming touch. The auditorium is one of the best on the Cape. Just to test its strength there was a donkey basketball game between the teachers and the Kiwanians recently! The students find the lunch room a great improvement over the old one. A dance was given by the Seniors with great success in December. It was called “The Senior Jubilee.” On April third the Juniors put on a “Miami” party which was very successful. The Seniors are planning to present the Senior play, “The Ghost Train”, on June 4. The Sophomores gave the Freshmen a royal welcome at a party in February. The Junior Prom will be on June 12 this year. The Bacchanalians from Northeastern University will furnish the music. The several assemblies held in our new auditorium this year have been very successful, and very enjoyable. The two outstanding ones were those held when Dr. Samuel Grafflin of New York spoke on the “Five Keys to Success,” and Mr. Burton Davis of Boston spoke on “The Romance of Ice.”

22 CANAL CURRENTS Years ago, and not so many either, people traveled by horse and by way of water at an average of around five miles an hour which is equal to a distance of four hundred and forty feet in one minute. Today we have multiplied this four hun- dred and forty feet to thirty-five thousand nine hundred and eighty-two feet in one minute. This means that today we can travel eighty times farther in a minute than could our great-grandfather. Here we see that man is the one con- trolling factor in determining what a minute shall contain. In other fields, in practically all of the sciences, we find the minute expanding in content — the physician working to- wards the goal of eternal life, and the physicist striving to make more and more sensations possible in this expanded or extra time. Perhaps, just perhaps, life everlasting is not beyond the grave but, it may be that it lies within our own thought realm. David Ingerson, ’36.
