Gerald Wilbur, Editor-in-Chief. Ill his ik The New Schedule This year, a new program has been in- troduced. It is not a rotating program such as some schools have, but a program which omits, in rotation, one regular sub- ject each day to substitute the extra-cur- ricular subjects, penmanship, spelling, and music. H We have six periods a dayg so on Mon- day the second period is used for penman- ship and spellingg on Tuesday the third period is used for musicg on Wednes- day the fourth period for penmanship and spcllingg on Thursday the fifth period, for musicg and on Friday the sixth period is used for spelling and music. On Fridays during the music period, songs are sung, whereas during the other periods the fundamentals of music are taught. The substitution of music and spelling have helped to break the neces- sary monotony of daily routine. -Ferne Maher, '39. III Ill if Piano Pot-Pourri For some time the school has been in- terested in buying a piano. So, at the be- ginning of this year, we .set out in earnest-first to raise the money for a piano, then to find a good buy. We con- siieied several, but they were not just

THE VorCE what every one wanted. Mr. and Mrs. James Bunker looked at pianos at Har- mon's music store in Bangor, and found one they thought was what we wanted. Later, through Mr. Scammon's interest, Miss Gillings and Mrs. Jones were able to see the piano. They thought it was one that was worth what the school could pay for it. Mr. Harmon was notified to deliver it to the school. It has proved a good piano and the students have derived much benefit and pleasure from it. The F. H. S. students wish to thank the following, who so generously con- tributed toward the piano: Hilda. Blais- dell, Leona Wooster, Dorothy Eldridge Kelly, Marcia Joy, Blanche Eldridge Goss- ler, Mrs. Luce, Austin McNeil, Walter Coombs and Dallas Tracey. -Martha Hardison, '38. HAS OUR SCHOOL LEAGUE BENEFITED THE SCHOOL? This question may be asked many times. I think that I, as secretary and treasurer of the League, can prove that the League has made many things possible which otherwise would never have been. At the first meeting of the League for the year 1937-38, a list of things was sug- gested that. the students would like the school to purchase. The articles were: A flag, a. piano, girls' basketball suits, a new basketball, curtains for the main room, magazines for the library table, and S25 for the Senior Class expenses. In September, We cooperated with the school board and were able to subscribe to twenty dollars' worth of good maga- zines, the town giving ten dollars and the League matching it. On October 1, we had succeeded in get- ting our flag, which may be seen in front of our school on all pleasant days. . On September 13, the League voted to buy Christmas cards to sell. With these We netted 525. During this period We had committees looking for a. good piano to buy. In November, a piano was loaned to us by Flora Joy until we could find one we could buy. On November 12, the League received two basketballs from. Dakins' Sporting Goods Co., for inspection. We kept one of them, which cost 311. On November 12, We had a supper to raise money for girls' basketball suits. The Baptist church cooperated with us and let us use their vestry. We cleared S12.25. The League appropriated from their funds an additional 87.46, so that the girls might purchase ten suits at i cost of S19.66. . At about this time, Martha Hardison was appointed to write the Alumni, ask- ing them to help us to buy our piano. We received 58.50 in this way. On November 29, the Harmon Piano Co. de- livered a se-cond-hand piano, in very good condition, for 550. At this time we didn't have S50 in the treasuryg so Mr. Jones came to our aid and paid for lt, the school arranging to pay him back when- ever they were able. On December 19, the Senior class, with the cooperation of' the underclassmen, presented the play, The Folks Next Door, and cleared about S16.00. Since it was presented on a stormy night, we decided that we must present it againg and on February 5, the play cast rolled through the crowded streets of Eastbrook .and presented the play in the Grange hall. We cleared 318.00 there. We were very grateful to the grangers for letting us have the hall for 31.00.
