Editorially Speaking HOW DO YOU SPEND YOUR LEISURE TIME? Young people today are growing up in an age when life seems to be moving at a very rapid pace. Often, in fact every day, we hear the re- mark, I haven't the time! , when one person asks another to join him in some activity. Leisure time, there- fore, is at a premium: and yet there isn't one of us who doesn't use some part of his time for activities other than work. This means then that we must try to use such free time as we have to the best advantage. How are we to do this? How do we know what leisure activities are going to prove most satisfying and at the same time most valuable? It seems to me that here is where our school provides a wealth of opportunity for finding our own personal answers to these ques- tions. To begin with, there are some school subjects which open up new interests for many of .us. Typing, for instance, may be used for per- sonal correspondence, for which it is much faster than handwriting. Typing can be used in preparing special reports, and in keeping notes and records of club or civic work. Chemistry is another school sub- ject which offers an interesting ex- perience to many students. While you may not choose the chemical field for your life work, you might spend many hours in instructive and profitable experimentation. .cZIuf'lPI'Il The study of English has led some people to take up writing as a hobby. Geography and history provide a wealth of background material for stamp-collecting. Besides school subjects, we have many extra-curricular activities which afford fine opportunities for learning to use leisure time. Active sports are available at every season of the school year and to every person interested. Spring and fall, there are baseball for boys and softball for girls. In addition, tennis and golf have been started, thanks to the cooperation of the Country Club in allowing us to use their golf course and tennis court. Through the winter season, there is basketball. Usually two three-act plays are presented -each year by our students. These offer dramatic -training for all who take part, anw often lead stu- dents to a life-long interest in dra- matics. In line with this, a limited number of students, last year, were given the chance to go to the Uni- versity of Maine to witness a per- formance by the Maine Masque of Shakespeare's MacBeth. The trip proved so enjoyable that this year a busload of students was taken to Orono to see Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. The enthusiasm shown by those who went was ample proof that the merits of the play were well appreciated. Many stu-
