ff I School Happenings J The school.opened Sept. 8, with 203 en- rolled. We were glad to welcome back Mr. Blake as Principal, Mrs. Blake, Miss Ken- ney, Mrs. Whitmore, Mrs. Peirce and Mr Dewever, as assistants. A few new teach- ers on the faculty greeted us. Miss Emily Gardner from East Machias, took Miss Coomb's place in the Commercial Dept., Miss Margaret Rice from Plainfield, New Jersey, took Miss Stoehr's place in the Latin Dept., and Miss Evaline Roundy from Marblehead, Mass., took charge of the girls' physical training classes. On October 6 Horace Hopkins invited the Sophomore Class to his home for a supper. The class went in cars with Miss Marian Kenney and Miss Emily Gardner of the faculty as chaperones. Games were played and everyone had a good time. October 30, 31 were the dates for the State Convention this year held in Bangor. We welcomed the holidays as usual and were pleased that all members of the faculty attended the convention. October 31 the Senior Class gave a Hal- lowe'en dance at the town hall, Carleton's orchestra furnishing the music. The hall was attractively decorated, and students in different booths were kept busy selling re- freshments while the fortune-teller had her share of the business. The dancers were many and the balcony was filled with spectators. Sub-master and Mrs. Dewever and Mr. and Mrs. Davis were the chaper- ones. November 17, was National Education Week. Each day there was a special pro- gram. Wednesday evening school was in session so that visitors were able to come was and see what the students were doing in their work. February 12 a medal was awarded to Miss Maple Percival for writing the best essay on Abraham Lincoln. The essay was one thousand words in length and was considered very good. Miss Iona Landeen followed a close second. The judges were Mrs. C. C. Palmer, Mrs. Galen Ramsay and Mr. Clifford Call. On the 12 of December the Sophomore Class gave their dance in the Club Hall, Hatch's orchestra furnishing the music. There were many dancers and the class made 525.00 to add to their fund. Miss Flora Laughton invited the Junior Class to her home in West Ripley for an oyster stew supper, Miss Kenney and Miss Gardner of the faculty attended as chaper- ones. Games were played until the chaper- ones insisted it was time to leave. Mr. Marsh of the Curtis Publishing House came to N. H. Fay High School and proposed a plan for our school to earn some money. The plan met with great enthusiasm and there were three sides chosen for the contest. The two losing sides were to give the winning side a Fun Fest. The contest lasted a week and on March 13 the Fun Fest was given in the gym. A large number of students attended and after the ceremonies were over games were played under the supervision of sub- master Dewever, Refreshments were served and the party adjourned at an early hour. Everybody thoroughly enjoyed himself and wished such times came more often.
