H. S. for the benefit of those artistic souls who have no purpose in life but to pass away the hours, hacking up the school property. Such a class would at least direct their efforts toward some worthwhile object. Perhaps' these people write on the school property for the sake of pub- licity. VVe see a person's initials and the date he expects to graduate blaz- oned on the arms of the chairs and on the tops of the desks. It is true that a new, smooth desk top is a tremen- dous temptation to a knife or pencil, but never write the date on which you hope to graduate. Suppose you didn't graduate that year? Then there would be the record of your failure for all to read. About the initials, funny faces. puns, etc., perhaps some of the stu- dents in high school' remember the time a fine was imposed, in the grades, upon those who had written oII school property. The fine cured the offenders for quite a while, but they seem to have returned to their former habits of exposing their own initials and their iriend's initials to public view. XVe have all seen the signs that are tacked up in various places around the schoolhouse, stating that a line shall be paid for any defacing of school property. That sign is a veritable Vesnviusg it exploded once in the grades and it may explode up here in the High School. Vlfatch out! Many pupils take pride in turning in neat papers, the number is not so great as it should be, and the rough seats, which aid materially in poor penmanship, take their heavy toll from the order-loving individuals. Bear in mind that you are harming yourself as well as school property when you have a desire to take upadvertising or car- tooning as a side line. THE CORONA 7 BIOGRAPHIES For the most part, biographies are considered to be dry and uninteresting stories of people's lives and are shunned by all high school students. Among the current literature are some biographies that are excellent for subject matter, and the appeal they have for the student of high school age. Emil Ludwig, a noted German biographer, has written about some of the world's foremost figures in history, and they are written in such a manner that they can be understood and read by high school students. Among the famous men who have been written about are: Napoleon, Bismarck, Dis- raeli, and a host of others. Biographies should form a very large part of every student's reading. now that the lives of these great men have been portrayed in such a realistic and interesting manner. POLITICS This is the year in which a new President for the United States is to be chosen. If any student is not ac- quainted with the manner in which our President is chosen, it is a good time to learn. ' Politics mean very little to us now. but later on they will become a vital part of our life, and we should become surely informed on this subject before we can become good citizens. A very interesting part of the elec- tion is the choice of the man to be nominated for the l'residency. It is necessary to be able to form some opinion about the fitness of a man for such an ollice, by being able to recog- nize some ability in the candidate rather than relying on party prejudice. Very few students know what a party is. or how it is supported. They say they are Republican or Democrat merely because their parents are. The political game is one well worth study- ing, and we should begin right now. PROHIBITION Looming up in the back of our lives, at present and in the future, is the im- mense question of national prohibition. XVe can well ask what will this ques- tion be when we are of voting age. Will we form the habit of breaking this national law, or will we respect it and try to carry out the ends the law was made for? Here is a question we can apply ourselves to now. lYe can form some opinion on this subject that will influence the lllltltbll either towards prohibition or against it. lt is for us to decide which way we are to turn. VVe have more influence to turn to- ward prohibition than did our fathers, who were brought up before prohibi- tion became a law. lt is only a few more years before we will be called on to pass our opinion. Let's start it off in the right direction now.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE TRAINING In 15l2l, for the first time, Domestic Science was introduced into Bridgton lligh School. This course is given to the girls of the Freshman and Sopho- more classes who are not taking the college preparatory or general courses. To give the girls a practical under- standing of the care of the home. en- able them to buy and prepare food for the family, and to select. construct, and care for their own wardrobe is the pur- pose of the course. The work of the Freshman year is divided into three unitsg twelve weeks of cooking, twelve weeks of sewing. and twelve weeks of household appli- ances. ln the Sophomore year cook- ing is continued for twelve weeks, fol- lowed by twelve weeks of sewing and twelve weeks in the study of house- hold accounts. Today the management of a home is a business. The housekeeper of today, if she is to manage a home success- fully, must be educated in the various duties and responsibilities of her posi- tion. And the domestic science course aims to furnish this training. Une of the slogans of the XYorld NYar. 'flfood will win the W'ar. showed that food was much more im- portant than many persons had be- lieved. It confirmed the fact that food was not merely something that tastes well, or relieves the sensation of hun- ger. but that it was a vital factor in achieving one of the noblest ideals of all time. In the cooking course which the girls learn how to select foods at the market. from whence they come, how they are prepared for market. by what means they are transported,'and how they are taken care of in the mar- ket. lt has been said that for food most persons spend the largest part oftheir incomesg it is a pity if they buy sick- ness instead of health. XVhether foods are purchased at the lunch counter or at market. it is necessary to know what foods to choose to meet best the needs of the body. . Meal planning is an important 'factor of food study. The matter of combin- ing foods that are varied in composi- tion or that supplement one another in nutritious properties deserves much consideration. Not only nutrimcnt but flavor enters into food combina- tion. It is extremely important to combine foods that taste wellf' ' You may say that in twelve weeks a girl cannot learn to cook many things. But one class of food or one principal of cooking may be related or associated with another. For example, the method of cooking a typical breakfast cereal may be applied to cereals in gen- eral. There may be some exceptions to the rule, but when the basic prin- ciple of cooking is kept in mind, the variations can be readily made. If a pupil has learned to prepare creamed potatoes, she should be able to apply the principle to the cooking of potato soup. In making chocolate beverage, the pupil learns to blend chocolate with other ingredients. The knowl- edge gained in making chocolate bev- 14 THE C ORONA erage can be applied to the flavoring of a cake or of a dessert with choco- late. In all the thousands of recipes appearing in cook books, only a few principles of cooking are involved. The pupil who appreciates this fact be- comes a resourceful worker and ac- quires skill in a short time. A dining table with carefully laid covers is always inviting. Graceful serving of food at such a table is an art. The ability to serve food in an at- tractive way is an accomplishment that no girl should fail to acquire. For example, here in our domestic science course the pupils are taught how to set a table properly and howto wait on a table. To show their ability in this, a supper is served annually to the mem- bers of the school board and the super- intendent of schools. Upon woman, the chief spcnder, de- pends the wise or unwise apportion- ment of the income to the various needs of the family, shelter, food, clothing, etc. Abundant opportunity to learn to become a wise spender awaits her inthe field of clothing. It is possible for her to provide for her- self and others, suitable wearing ap- parel that will not deplete the purse. yet give joy and satisfaction to the wearer. XVhen purchasing ready-to- wear garments, she should be able to judge them as regards their durability and quality, their suitability, the be- comingness of color and line, and the price in relation to her allowance. To become a master workman in the art of clothing herself and others, wisely and well, the young woman should know the industries concerned in the making of women's apparel, in the production and preparation of the fibers of which the materials are made, the manufacture of the fabrics, and the construction of the garments them- selves. She should become familiar with the principles of design which re- late to clothing, and through the study of artistic forms in sculpture, painting and historic costume, learn to choose for herself and others colors, lines and styles that are becoming. Add to this technical skill in draping and the cut- ting of cloth by pattern, along with use of needles. pins and shears in the con- struction of garments and the equip- ment of a pupil of our domestic science is complete, for her training is just this. There are few girls who will not nave. at sometime, the management of a home. The keeping of personal ac- counts, while in school, will furnish a girl with the necessary practice and training. Few housewives keep ac- counts, few families know where they could save, simply because they have no accurate knowledge of their ex- penses. lint there is an increasing number of housewives who, seeing the necessity for this, are giving their daughters the training that will fit them to manage a home properly. The girl trained to keep her own personal ac- counts will lind it an easy mattertpto in- crease her knowledge of accounts and to extend her practice to the keeping of the accounts of a household. All this training in domestic science the girls has proved very helpful to who have taken the course. It has at home made their work in helping more interesting, and that is certainly worthwhile. It is a pleasure to be proud of our homes, and an even greater pleasure to know how to make them more attractive, to make real homes where we work together for the good of each, and 6 where, because we appreciate all that goes into the mak- ing of a home, we are eager and glad to do our share to add to its charm. PZTTA E. CLARK, '28, THE CORONA g15 HONOR ESSAY THE WATER POWER QUESTION XYater power development in Maine IS a subject which, at the present time, is engaging the thoughtful attention of a greater number of her citizens than at any time in the history of this de- velopment. The two outstanding phases of this subject which are being widely dis- cussed are: First: Shall the present law forbid- ding the export of electric energy gen- erated by water power be repealed? Second: XYhat can be done to assist in promoting the construction of elec- tric lines to serve the farms and rural communities that are at the present time unable to avail themselves of the service? As for the first proposition, the law prohibiting the exportation of power out of the state, it was enacted on the theory that if its vast amount of po- tential power could be used only with- in the state it would be a great induce- ment, if not an actually compelling fac- tor, in bringing to Maine many indus- tries requiring a large amount of cheap power. It was further argued that if this power was allowed to be sent into other states that these states would retain the great manufacturing indus- tries while Maine would simply be a power station for the rest of New England. After a trial of more than lifteen years it is becoming apparent that however plausible the theory may have appeared, the actual results have failed to demonstrate its soundness. It is doubtful if a single instance can be cited where an industry has located in this state as a result of this law. The reason for this is probably that, with perhaps the exception of the pa- per industry, the relation which the cost of power bears to the total cost of the finished product is so small as to make it a relatively unimportant factor. Furthermore, when the small differ- ence between the cost of water power and power from other sources is con- sidered, it would seem doubtful if the proposition for keeping all the water power that may be developed within her own borders would ever be a con- trolling, or even influential factor in bringing industry to Maine. On the other hand, it has appeared in at least one instance that an indus- try which required a very large amount of cheap power in seeking to locate 'here encountered this situation,- power was not available in sufficient quantities from sources already de- veloped at a price that could be paid. In order to economically utilize one of the large undeveloped power sites it would have been necessary to build a plant capable of generating three or four times the amount of power that could be used by this enterprise at the start. VVith no market for the surplus power assured in the state, and for- bidden by law to sell it outside, it is not difficult to see why this large man- ufacturing enterprise went elsewhere. It is also becoming evident that in- stead of there being an increasing com- petition for sources of power, there is more likelihood, in the immediate future, at least, of there being com- petition for a market for the power which may be developed. XN'ith these facts in mind and laying all prejudice aside, it is difficult to see why electric energy, as a commercial commodity, should not be allowed a free market for all surplus that may be produced, after fully meeting the de- mands of the territory primarily served. It has never been seriously argued, you will agree, that by sending 16 THE C ORONA out of the state the surplus shoes, tex- tiles, or farm products our people would have to go barefooted. un- clothed or hungryg in fact. we should expect that any attempt to present the marketing of these commodities out- side the state wherever a demand exists, would result, not in lower prices, but simply in driving out those engaged in their production. Light and power companies in all sections of the country are co-operat- ing with agricultural experiment sta- tions and farm bureau organizations in a study of the problems presented in this work. Recently a careful study has been made of the problems en- volved in the territory of one particu- lar company. A few figures showing just what would be required to render service to this entire area would be of interest. This company is now operating about 550 miles of distribution lines. serving approximately 200,000 people. The total population of all towns with- in this territory is around C300,000, thus 100,000 people, or one-third of the pop- ulation, are left without electric service. - The total highway mileage in this area is about 7,000 miles and should even half this distance of electric lines be built to serve those who are now without, it would require the building of ten times as much line per person as has been required in the case of service already being rendered. This view of the situation presents rather a discouraging outlook, but is. perhaps, not so hopeless as it might appear. A recent survey of farms on which a considerable amount of elec- tric energy is demonstrated that it is entirely possible for the farmer who is doing any considerable amount of busi- ness, to make a profitable use of a large amount of electric energy, ln fact, so much is required that the building of lines in at least the more thickly settled portions of our rural territory is justified. Thus it will be seen that in Maine. as elsewhere, earnest consideration is be- ing given to the problems involved in the extension of electric service to rural communities. Not only is con- sideration being given to ways of as- sisting the farmer to develop means of electric current, but the possibili- ties of reducing the cost of construct- ing and operating these lines is being carefully considered. In tliis connection it has been sug- gested that inasmuch as interest charges and taxes are large items in the cost of service, some way might be found, through legislative action. to relieve from taxation such lines as are used entirely for the distribution of current to the rural sections. As to interest. the suggestion has been made that low interest-bearing bonds might be issued to be purchased by those in- terested in the extension of these lines. This would reduce materially-the in- terest charge and still return tothe holder a rate equal to that.paid on savings deposits. These two items, to- gether with such other economies as might be effected in individual cases, should enable a substantial reduction to be made on the present costs. It would appear, then, that public service companies should begiven en- couragement and reasonable opportu- nity to develop and market in the most economical and eflicient manner possi- ble our great water power resources: that, with these opportunities granted, the power companies should make every effort to supply, wherever pos- sible, the service which will contribute so much toward the convenience and THE CORONA 17 contentment of our farmers and their families. It seems not unreasonable to expect that, with an expansion of a reason- ably profitable business, there will be a proportionate expansion of rural service. This in its present stage of development can only produce a return that, under most favorable conditions, will barely meet the actual cost of con- struction and maintenance. Maine is still an agricultural state: it is re- garded as vitally essential, even by those engaged in commerce and manu- facturing, that our agriculture shall be given every encouragement and assis- tance in placing itself in a position of sound progressive development. Sure- ly a careful study of these problems. with a realization that all lines of busi- ness are mutually concerned. cannot fail to bring about more friendly rela- tions and a bettelr understanding between our families and business interests. TDONALD BRYANT, QS. VALEDICTORY EXTRA CURRICULUM ACTIVITIES VVhen a student fails in his studies. too often it said that school activities. things other than studies are taking up the time. Consequently, the blame for his failure falls on one or more of the following: Athletics, music, the school paper, or social events. This is not true. The students that participate in these are students of intelligence and school spirit, moreover, these are activities which encourage responsibility in students. The purpose of a high school course is to prepare some stud- ents for college, others for their first plunge into the business world. Here in school is the place where these latter students must get all the prep- aration they can for fair play in busi- ness and loyality in citizenship. lVhat better place than in athletics can students Find opportunity to learn honesty and good sportsmanship? C. XY. lYhitten, State manager of Illinois High School Athletic Association says. If I had a son in high school and was required, to choose for him between ninety minutes of supervised athletics or the same time devoted to Geometry or Latin, I should choose athletics. Another point I wish to make under athletics is the value to a student of the position of captain or manager. The captain runs the team on the Held, and is the leader. He is of an under- standing character. He helps to keep things running smoothly between players, and encourages the team to stand for fair play and good sports- manship. The manager arranges the schedule of games with the counsel of the faculty advisers. He learns much of business methods and the methods of each school. This is valuable train- ing for any high school boy. Music is another important factor in our extra-curriculum work. This year has seen developed a greater interest in music in our high school. The orchestra is larger this year, having in its membership ten students and two of our teachers. XVith the money that was earned last year a set of drums was bought. The orchestra has had remarkable success in public appear- ances. Then, too, the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs have been organized with a new spirit. The combined musical clubs held a Chautauqua at the gym- nasium recently. This was a success and was theronly public appearance of the Glee Clubs. The money earned this year is to be spent on new instru- 18 THE C ORONA ments. .ll there was no outlet for this talent, what would become of it? To some of these students, the musical training they receive here will mean a new interest possibly that will later cause them to study the subject and perhaps furnish their life work on at least a very worth-while recreation. Social activities in high school pro- vide money for various purposes, al- though this is not their most important result. The connnittees having charge of these activities learn modern busi- ness methods while running a dance. or whatever it may be, with the advice of the faculty. The committee learns when posters should be put out, that the posters should be neat, attractive. and easy to read and understand. They also learn how to handle money and to pay their bills promptly. These students are benefited. more in some ways by having these responsi- bilities than they ever could be by book learning. Our school paper was recently re- vised and made into a double edition issued by the school as a whole. This makes the paper a better managed one. Now. some of the editorial board come from each class. In time the more im- portant editors will be experienced and know how to meet the problems of editing a school paper better. If a student is interested in writing, here is the proper outlet for his energies while in school. The student who can write for his school paper has made a beginning for a career if he follows this line of work. The editor learns to arrange the facts and how to enlarge upon a sub- ject or condense it enough to make it interesting to the reader. The business manager has to inter- view the business men of the town and secure their advertisements, arrange them in a suitable order for the paper and collect the bills in an etlicient and business-like manner. Now let us picture school without our school paper, and no social lunc- tions. XYould you wish to go to such a school? Certainly not! Then let us help and not criticize extra-curriculum activities.

XYonderful, isn't it. Curly? The dog wagged its tail, evidently agreeing. And we are free, all free, Curly, old son, we can go everywhere, anywhere, and not get any girl angry at us for not going to see her. The black dog wagged its tail harder. Confound girls anyhow. I would lots rather have you to ride around with, you big black bounding beggar. Curly was ecstatic. The boy in the green roadster looked wistfully at a distant mountain and then sighed, just a little half sigh. Hut I might like to have a girl with big brown eyes. if only-Oh, shut up. fool l The green roadster started along the road again. l'ast farm houses, pink and white orchards and half green fields it went, leaving a faint dust cloud behind it.

The green roadster stopped. A girl ran hastily from an old log by the side of the road and stood beside the car. I think you have killed my chicken, will you please look P she said. into brown of tears in The boy was looking eyes with a suggestion them, and continued to do so for a few seconds, then awoke. I'm awfully sorry, I didn't noticef, Ile looked under the car. But gee! I haven't, here he is, poor little fellow. he must have had a narrow escape, and he rescued the chicken from under the green roadster. Oh! Iim so glad! the brown eyes were past all danger of overflowing, and their owner smiled, 'gthe chicken is such a dear and I call him Solomon, he's so wise. Rather an odd name. It was the boy's turn to smile. I won't bother you any more. . You must be in a hurryf! No, Curly and I, the boy looked at the black dog, were just out for a ride, really I have no special place to go. I like to just go adventuringf' Oh! VVhat a big dog!

I'll put Curly in the rumble seat, just to make sure he doesnlt bite you out of jealousy. VVhy yes, I'd love to. The green roadster started off again, and beside the boy sat the girl with the brown eyes. Between them sat Solo- mon, the chicken, looking his nicest. Back in the rumble seat Curly sat, crestfallen, nor was he cheered when the boy winked at him. lYill you let me take you to your aunt's tomorrow, with Solomon as chaperon P said the boy in the green roadster. JXNIJRIEW j. SANIBORN, ,2S. LARRY STUART I As the train pulled out of the station a tall, fair-haired boy with a pair of well built shoulders stepped 'to the rear of the observation car and waved a last farewell' to the small crowd on the station platform. He was soon joined by another boy of slighter build, wearing horn rimmed glasses and hav- ing a rather scholarly air about him. The two together produced a surpris- ing contrast-the scholar and the athlete. The fair-haired boy turned to the other and said, Gee, Ray, I never knew leaving home would be so hard, but never mind, welll soon be at Han- over, then our troubles will be over. suffered XYell, I don't think you very much at Atlantic High, replied Ray with a look of surprise. No, but you know what Atlantic is no place for ability such as mine. At Hanover I can let out and make a name for myself. XVith these I mean. words he turned and went into the Pullman. Ray stayed on the platform. VVhat was one to do, he thought, 'fwith a fellow like thatiw Ray liked Larry immensely, but heshad to admit that 20 THE CORONA his friend thought pretty well of him- self. .The two had gone to Atlantic lligh together: two more different types could not be found. Larry had been the star athlete of the school, pop- ular, rather fast and very fond of him- self, Raymond Day was different: he was quiet, not caring for parties, drink- ing or smoking, preferring to study and spend his time in research work. Larry and Ray had decided to go to llanover early in their high school course. Larry to excel in athletics and Raymond to study. The train pulled into the llanover station early the next afternoon and Larry and Ray detrained with glad hearts, expecting, or at least Larry was, a large erowd to greet them. To his surprise the only greetings they received were the jocular ones usually given to freshmen. The following weeks Larry spent in letting all the upper classmen know of his football ability. It seemed as though he was going to live up to his boasts. lle played on his class team in the first game and was congratu- lated by the varsity coach. Of course this made Larry feel pretty good and to celebrate the event he went to a club dance that night, arriv- ing home the next morning at three o'clock. This was the beginning of a long series of parties, and in spite of Ray's entreaties, Larry took them all in. For awhile these events seemed To have no effect on his athletic ability for he took part in several varsity games, winning applause whenever he played. Then one night Larry went to a fra- ternity party with a friend. Some of the fellows had flasks. Of course Larry drank and during the evening became quite hilarious. In the latter part of the evening he became ac- quainted with the daughter of one of the professors. She was very charm- ing and Larry asked permission to see her home. As she bid him goodnight at her door Larry, influenced by the liquor, attempted to kiss her and re- ceived a sound slap for his pains. The next morning Larry had a talk with Raymond and told him that from then on there would be no more parties for him. Ray was skeptical: but he said nothing. That afternoon the big game of the season was to be played and Larry had hopes of getting in. But their hopes were dashed when the Coach met him at the field with these words: Stuart, l know where you were last night and l know what happened: don't expect to playfl He turned and made his way toward the group of players gathered by the goal posts. . given up football for parties. XYhat a fool he had been! The game started with a substitute in Larryis place. From the first if seemed as though the jinx was after the Hanover players. They fought like demons but could not advance. At the end of the half with four sub- stitutes in the score was tied fi-fi. Then it happened-the Hanover full- back fumbled under the shadow of his own goal posts and the ball was re- covered by Exeter. ln the second play the ball was rushed thru Hanover's line. That was the end. The Hanover boys were dazedg at the end of the third quarter the score stood 2-6 in favor of lfxeter. XYhen Larry, happening to look over towards the grandstaud, saw Raymond talking with the coach, he thought nothing of it and turned his attention to the players. Suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned to see the eoaeh standing at his side. He THE' CORONA 21 motioned towards the held and said, You can go in and it's up to you. Larry was thunderstruck. Only a short while before the coach had told him that he could not play. But thrusting these thoughts aside. he put on his helmet and darted out on the field just as the whistle blew. lle not only started but kept right on going. He was everywhere, passing and re- ceiving passes. Gaining seven, eight, ten yards everytime he plunged. ln the very midst of the melee Larry saw the light. Raymond had infiuenced the coach to let him go in. That was what they were talking about over by the grandstand. All this passed through his mind in a sec- ond and then he was off, determined to show Raymond what he was made of. The captain gave the signal for Larry to carry the ball every time. Larry certainly did carry it. He fought like a demon, stiff-arming, crawling and fighting his way towards victory. The crowd was yelling- for him, but he did not hear them, he thought only of Raymond. , And then it happened again, only this time Exeter fumbled in the center of the held, but what was fifty yards to Larry? He scooped up the ball and was off like a bullet, evading one tackler and stiff-arming another. Only thirty more yards to go. XVould he make it? The crowd was wild, jumping up and down, throwing hats and yelling. Only the safety man to get around and then victory. The opposing tackler waited until tackling distance and then jumped. So did Larry. Leap- ing for all he was worth, he jumped clear over the Exeter player and fell over the goal line exhausted. Amid the breathless silence of the crowd, the Hanover quarterback drop- kicked the extra point with the Exeter line charging down upon him, a mighty roar broke from the stands, the timers gun barked and Hanover had snatched a lil-12 victory out of appar- ent defeat. After the crowd had finished cheer- ing and congratulating him, Larry walked over by the dormitory and es- pying Raymond there, ran after him, hugged and pummelled Ray until he was out of breath. There were tears in Larry's eyes as he shook Ray's hand. Ray did not have to ask what all the emotion was about, he knew. The two then walked down the path towards their dormitory, talking and laughing. The scholar and athlete.

Lack of batting material was the defect last year and as a result. most of the scores were against Bridg- ton. The Coach is hoping, however, that some of the material received from the grades this year will turn into second Ty Cobbs or Babe Ruths. If this hope is realized, a good team can be turned out. The first game of the season resulted in a victory over Brownfield High, 18-6. The feature of the tilt being two home runs by Berry in a single inning. March T.

Nearly half of the taxes paid by our merchants and other taxpayers are devoted to education in one form or another. Out of a total of a little over 362,000 appropriated at the last annual meeting, approximately 330,000 will be expended for the educat- ing of our boys and girls. You are the men and the women of tomorrow, who must eventually assume the burdens now being carried by the older generation, and you should now be fitting yourself to take an active part in the administration of the town's affairs. Are you doing this? Are you taking advantage of your opportunities? Are you doing your part in this great campaign of education? Are you co-operating with the school authorities and the teachers and with the merchants and the other taxpayers, who are standing the expense of your education? Are you a Booster for the Town of Bridgton and are you doing everything in your power to further its interests? Are you helping or are you indifferent to the opportunities which are being offered you? BRIDGTON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Bridgton, - - Maine
