6 THE CORONA When we have school dances and are WE LIKE OUR GYM on the decorating committee, let us not only help decorate but also help clean up afterwards! If Mr. Hawkes asks us to help him rake fields, burn grass or even shovel gravel, let's help him! In the few remaining weeks of school, we can show the teachers that we are not lazy: we have just been asleep. Now we are going to wake up and help them. It will really be fun, once we get started! illil- ONE SESSION By having a one-session school it is necessary to begin at eight olclock in the morning so that the periods will not have to be shortened and all the courses of study can be included. There are four periods before recess and three after. School closes at 1.10. Thus in the after- noon the athletes can devote themselves to their sports, those who wish to study under the supervision of a teacher can do so by returning to the detention period held in the freshman room. The library is open to all students for research work in different topics. An opportunity for longer rehearsals is given the orchestra and glee clubs. Those who wish to enjoy an afternoon of recreation find it conven- ient to do this by studying in the evening. Rehearsals of plays, speaking contests, etc., which have formerly been held in the evening can now be completed in the af- ternoon, much to the delight of the in- structors and pupils. This is an improve- ment which we all appreciate and would like to continue in the years to come. The Bridgton High Gymnasium since it has been painted. and the old floor replaced by a new one is a desirable place for athletics, gym classes, and school dances. We have a good chance to play basketball, volley ball, and all the other indoor games. The stage has proven it- self valuable and it has been used for numerous purposes throughout its exist- ence. Without it we would be badly handicapped in our school activities. CHANGES IN THE HIGH SCHOOL FACULTY Two new teachers were introduced into the Bridgton High School last fall. They were Miss Martha Harris from Auburn and Coach Harold Hawkes from Port- land. Miss Harris teaches English His- tory, Civics, General Science and Eng- lish Il B, and is a capable leader of the girls' Physical Training classes. Mr. Hawkes teaches History, Physics, Physi- cal Training for boys and coaches the boys' athletics. These teachers have brought to our high school new ideas, new methods of teaching and new games for the Physical Training classes. To these new teachers and to Mr. Andrews, Miss Baker, Miss Giles, Miss Cornish, Mr. Butterfield and Miss Randall we wish to express our gratitude for what they are trying tb do for us. C ,J . fc'

Out of the one hundred and fifty able- bodied members of our high school, why is it that not more than tive show up when there is work to be done? Mr. Andrews announces that a large crew of workers are necessary to collect boxes, wood, etc., for a bonfire. In the afternoon about twenty come to offer their services. Ten immediately jump into a truck, in which they can ride around, make a lot of noise, have a good time. and occasion- ally pick up something for the bonfire. VVhen tickets are to be sold there is often little or no effort on the part of the pupils. Of course there are always a few faithful ones who sell ifnough to make up for all the rest, but why make them do all the work? if D VXA? xx. ! l f. Miss llaker faces the difficulty of gain- ing the assistance of pupils in assembly programs. VVe all like these Friday morn- ing assemblies. How lazy we are if we have to learn something! Wle say we haven't time or we have too much studying to do! This is one of the times when pupils cannot possibly leave their books. A studious crowd, you say? Surely, when there is anything extra to do. Very few pupils attend football games, more go to basketball, and a few are found at baseball games! Yet we would like to have a much larger attend- ance. Are we too lazy to eve11 go to the games? VVe have money for movies, candy, cigarettes, and other things we can do without. So come on, let's go to the baseball games!
