10 THE HUTTLESTONIAN Ten Minutes With The Principal. H OME Work! Just eight simple letters—yet to some students the lock and key which keeps them from social activities. To other students, they are ' merely eight letters—nothing more. To still others who, unfortunately, do not compare favorably with either the first or second group above mentioned, these words are lights shining along the pathway of ‘‘Success.” Now, getting right down to bed rock, what is “Home Work” ? As Mr. Dickey says, it simply means “the concentration of the mind and will on the task at hand.” If the student himself lacks the in¬ centive to study, his parents should furnish the necessary stimulus to carry him through. They should insist on a minimum of social events from Monday until Friday night. Every student should fully realize what success in High School means. He is really building the foundation of his house for the future. It is up to him to do his best, so that he may face the world squarely, when the time comes, with a house that will stand all scru¬ tiny of life’s critics. Suave speech and a persuasive manner are not always indicative of real worth. Let us, therefore, take the right attitude toward our school work, and ' make the foundation for our future house a firm one! FREDERICK V. SHEARD, ’25. SPRING! It is interesting to note at this time of the year that the noun which signifies energy is also the name of the season when no one has much energy! Spring is here again and with it the feeling of

THE HUTTLESTONIAN 11 overwork and laziness, called by some, “spring fever”. The outside world is in accord with your spirits. One day it is cold, the next warm with a mixture of snow, rain, and sun. If you are a student, you feel that all the universe is against you. Work never seemed heavier! Lessons never end! Teachers are unmerciful and a bore to you! To be sure there is no real cure for this feeling—but it can be alleviated! How? Do some of the work you have been contin¬ ually putting off. It will keep your mind and your hands busy. If you work with a will, it won’t be long before you find yourself recov¬ ering from your attack of spring fever, and you will at least have something to show for it! Once more, then, the world will smile upon you. SHORT STORY CONTEST The announcements of the results of the Boston Traveler Fifth Short Story Contest came to us after the last issue of the magazine had gone to print. We therefore take pleasure in announcing now that of the 125 stories to receive honorable mention, three were written by Fairhaven High School students: “Luck of the Viking”, by Granville Prior; “Three Thousand Years Ago”, by Hope Dudgeon; “The Hero of the Sixth”, by Donald Axtell. The stories are printed elsewhere in this magazine. To each author of these stories, The Traveler has given a “Cer¬ tificate of Honorable Mention”. The stories while not so good as the prize winners, were “ ' mighty close” in the opinion of Mr. Rugg, the short story editor, and they all showed much promise. It is several years since the High School has taken part in The Traveler’s annual contest, and it will be interesting to the student body to know, that the stories written by their schoolmates were ranked in the first 125 of the 1,110 stories submitted by high school students from all over New England. MY REMEMBRANCE OF PORTO RICO Miss Helen Mae Kidd, who lived in Porto Rico for several years, has consented to write her recollections of the island for the present issue of the magazine. Miss Kidd’s impressions of this beautiful is- land on the boundary of the Caribean Sea are most entertaining,
