THE OLARI ON 'UCEU11 Ul1Ol'l2 It is a well known truth among athletes that team work in any sport cannot be over-emphasized. One man can no more win a meet than one man can make up a team. It is only when all its members pull together that it becomes a winning team. It is a great thing to be a member of a winning team. But in order to have a winning team every man must put his best into it. It is for this reason that when victory comes, every man experiences the thrill of success. If young people realize the necessity of team work, they will carry the idea with them all their lives. Athletics teach this idea to a great extent, and every coach drills into his men the value of working with others for a common end. Team work is needed not only in athletiesg it is important in the race of life. All individuals of a connnunity, all com- munities of a state and all states of the nation must pull to- gether. Lincoln said, A nation divided against itself cannot stand. That great saying, true then and now, will always be l31'l19. It is the application of team work. Today more than ever before nations are realizing that they must all work to- gether for the good of the whole world. It is only when all peoples catch the spirit of pulling together that international harmony will be established.

EDITORIALS Another son of Freeport High who has attained renown is Donald B. MacMillan of '93, who is now a world-famous Arctic explorer. Besides being an assistant on several trips to the Arctic, he has been the leader of five polar expeditions, having on his most recent voyage spent a full year in scientific research in that region. He is also widely known as a lecturer. There is a still more recent graduate of our High School who certainly deserves mention, Neal Tuttle, who was able to com- plete the high school course in three years, and then going to Bowdoin could have completed the course there in three years if he had wished to. After the completion of his course at Bowdoin he had the honor to be selected as one of the Rhodes scholars at Oxford. ln addition to attaining such a high schol- astic 1'CC0l'tl he was a star athlete, being on the varsity baseball team at Bowdoin. Had he lived he would surely have been one of the leading authorities in the field of science. This is to mention only a few of F. l-I. S. graduates who have made their mark in the world. Now to come down to still more recent years and just name over the schools where Freeport High School graduates are attending. At the present time there are three in Bowdoin. four in the University of Maine, live in Farmington Normal School, two in Gorham Normal School, one in the New England Conserva- tory of Music, two in George Wzishingtoii University, one in Bates, and one who has received an appointment to the Military Academy at NVest Point, besides several who are attending various commercial schools. Who knows what world-famous men and women may come from these and the present students of Freeport High School? Clear the way, prepare the fray for F. H. S. Vlfe are marching on to victory.

EDITORIALS up, and many a pupil needs such a stimulus in the morning. VVhen one arrives out of sorts on a dreary morning, music puts on that little touch that so often drives away the gloom. With very few exceptions everyone likes singing and if a per- son is so unfortunate as to not be ahle to participate, he at least enjoys listening. VVe have enough talent so we might have a school chorus. A good school chorus would help the school a great deal in many ways and would he of immediate help in the class programs. Another thing that might please a great many is that music might he used to till in those few extra minutes that are so often added to the hrst period and make it a longer period than any of the others. .losnpmnn Pomen '29 Ube New wl'flJODl30l1iC Although it was not until the middle of this school year that it was decided to use the money received from selling candy at recess to purchase an Orthophonic Victor Machine, we have al- ready gained much from it. The typewriting classes appreciate the opportunity of typing to music. WVe have a group of records made especially for typewriting use which set a speed averaging from twenty to one hundred and twenty words pcr minute. Music causes the typist to use a more uniform movement since he lends himself to the rhythm of the music. The pleasure thus derived facilitates the mind and destroys the tired monotonous feeling which often comes from the necessarily long practice periods. I5
