Improvements 2. With all the improvements in the town hall this year I am sure that we all owe a little gratitude to the select- men and Mr, Dick Wright, To begin with the selectman had the town hall completely painted. This, of course, was a great improvement over the old varnish which hadn't been touched since the hall was remodeled If we all have enough common sonse to help keep this new paint job bright and clean it will show that we can conserve town property. Another great improvement in the hall was the now facil- ities in the rest rooms. This new sanitary equipment is cer- tainly much more sanitary than the old facilities. In September, Mr, Messier, members of the teams, and my- self got together and decided that we would get a time-clock and scoreboard, V e also decided that wo would ask the busi- ness establishments in town for donations toward the clock and score-board. Mr. Me33ior first asked Dick Wright, who gavo us the clock outright. This certainlv is also a great Improve- ment for tho Basketball Court, The basketball teams also owe much to tho school-board, who have bought now 3uits for the two first teams. So we have improvements in the looks of the hall and in the looks of the teems, with many thanks to tho generous contributors. Lawrence Mvott 62 Study Halls I think there should bo a little more studying and little loss fooling around in study hall , As I was sitting in the 3tudy halls, the other day I was nearly flaborgasted at tho going on of so-.no of tho younger pupils there. Then you think bock if you acted this way when you wore in thoir places and just a'little younger. Then you'think Well I act up now thon',' but when you see someone else doing it, it looks pretty foolish. But maybe if we juniors and seniors fooled around a littlo less, they would look up to us and strighten out a bit, Lot's all try, I know it will be hard to do, but if we put our minds to it wo can do it.

Super Highways - Pro and Con In this day and age people are going places faster than they used to. Some folks say that it is the high powered automobile engine and super highways that cause accidents and deaths. It's true that some terrible accidents occur on the turnpikes but if people knew how to use those roads I think it would be much bettor. The population is ever increasing and that means moro and more automobiles are traveling our highways. This rush of people must be taken care of. This means better roads must be constructed. The turnpikes aro helping to solve this problem. Poople who drive way above the speed limit are just asking for trouble. There are many docent drivers on the road, of course, and these aro the ones we should model ourselves after. There is also a turnpiko scrvico in operation now that is of much use to the motorist in trouble. If you have a flat tire or your car breaks down in one way or anoth- er, all you have to do is send for the turnpiko service and ono of the service trucks will bo at the scene in minutes with the noccssary tools and equipment to do tho job. I think if wo observe and obey all tho rules and regulations of our turnpikos wo can make them safer and much moro onjoyablo than they already are. Dick Toof ’61 What Makos a Teenager Act tho Way Ho Does ? I am no philosopher of the mind or anything of tho sort. I am just an average teenager and I'd liko to try to explain,in my own opinion, what makes a teenager act the way ho does. The years betweon thirtocn and nineteen are, I believe, some of the most difficult years of growing up. Things aro much different in the adult world. It takes some of us longer than othors to adjust to it. Wo aro now at an ago where it is of great importance to us to be allowed to use our own heads. If parents seem over protective, ns many do, it may cause us to rebel in one way or another. During this period of our lives ire want a chanco to prove to ourselves and other poople that we can think for ourselves. Wo want to do something woll. If our plan doesn't work out right we aro apt to bocomo very upset about it. I guess that's because we have in-
