Hot Lunch I Well, well, isn't this nice! This year we have hot lunches which are really delicious. The hot lunch program began on Dec. 10, and a 'number of pupils are taking advanta es of them. Arlene Davis sehs the tickets for the lunches on Monday moming. Five lunches with milk cost a dollar and a quarter, without milk, they cost a dollar. Chocolate milk can be bought se aratel . Individual tickets can be bought. Mr. Knight made a rule that lunch tickets can not be bought on an day but Monday from 7:30 to 8 unless you are absent from school that day. In this case you have to go down to Mr. Knights office to rocure the tickets. Mr. Knight posts the hot lunch menu on the bulletin board on Monday and the pupils are able to await their favorite foodf Step this way to get your tickets, LAURETTE PUIIA, '54. World History please. The class starts at ten twenty and finishes at eleven o'cl0ck. There are twelve in our class. Miss XVood teaches and starts out asking us questions. We are supposed to know the answer if we have read our lesson. It is nice to know something about this world and about the beginning of it. You know about how people lived then and try to match it with today. I like history because it tells me of places I never even heard about, of people I never knew were so important. It's nice to know who discovered this and when it was founded and where. Our history books are new this year. They have nice pictures and the print is big and easy to read. The words are in two columns which helps too. These books cost a great deal and we are trying to keep them in good condition. I carry mine home every night because I have no study hall before I have history. ELIZABETH METCALF, '54. Glimpses of Our Faculty jokes have been told and poetry written About doctors, lawyers and even preachers. VVhy not a rythme a bit more fitten ? This is about our high school teachers. Never will we forget Mrs. Randall's books, Reports, oh dear, or you get the hooks. XVhen in the library dim your powers Else you receive some good long hours. Throughout the halls you must not run, Or you ma be the guilty one. A study hall is such a dread. This makes some rsons' faces red. Miss Wood's goodpfokes she must just tell Before we may chance to heed the bell. Sherlock Knight with jokes galore NVill welcome you at the office door. If you don't sit up straight and strong, He promises to bring marble slabs along. Miss Kaplan helps us in Latin, you see, That's why it never worries me. .. Miss Little is telling the typing classes what to say E On the notices for the next P. T. A. Mr. Perry at French is a whiz, At algebra, too, he certainly is. Mr. Hayes makes phy. ed. fun No one from his classes wants to run. In Mr. Creer's study hall every one wishes to speak But Mr. Greer wishes we were quiet and meek. Mrs. Vining guides the sewing and cooking And in study hall for paper on the floor is looking. This rhyme may not Hatter you But you must admit it might be true. RICHARD BLACKSTONE, '54, Opportunities at Freeport High At Freeport Hi h School there are many chances to develop our bodies physically as well as mentally. There are many advantages which we have over other schools. One great advantage is our phys. ed. class. In many schools this class has been cut right out of the program completely. This has been done because the schools could not hire a trained director in physical education. Our school is trying to establish a school orchestra. It is under the supervision of Mr. Perry. Many people of the school are learning, to play their instruments very well. Talents are eing uncovered that never have been known. In the near future we are sure that we will have a school orchestra to play at our special occasions. The Clee Club is a favorite pastime of many people of the school. The club is under the direction of Mr. Greer, and he is doing a very fine job at it. They meet every Friday in the study hall of thc school. They are plannin a minstrel to get a larger sum in their treasury. After they have 'rot enou b, they are planning on buying some new books to ie used in the club. The opportunities in sports are made up of a wide variety of games and contests. Mr. Hayes, our physical education teacher, gives us many oppor- tunities in the gym after school. Some of the games in which we can participate are: badminton. inter- mural basketball, volleyball, shuffleboard and man other activities. In the spring and fall the baseball season is looked for by many of the pupils at Freeport 'High as well as the town's people. HAROLD LAPIERRE, '55. School Board Supper january 30, the Sophomore home ec. class prepared a supper for the School Board members. It took three home ec. periods and some time after school Wednes- day night to have everything ready on time. Besides working in class, Joyce Wyman and Pauline Whitten were waitresses while Arlene Davis, Patricia Hunter, and Sandra Hanson helped in the kitchen with the dishes. During class each person had some certain duty to do in preparing for the supper. The makin of cups, grapefruit baskets, pineapple salads, and cream puffs took hard work from many of the girls. Ice cream was made to put in the cream puHs by Martha Cogswell and Laurette Puiia. Monday Tuesday an Wednesday the whole class worked during the home ec. periods, but only a few stayed and helped NVednesday afternoon. The supper was served at five-forty-five. JULIA PLOURDE, '54.

PAINT CREVV Left to Right: N. Sargent, M. Turner, Nl. Sargent, L. Tnrcottc, I. Could, C. Carll, B. Ilersey A SUNNY SIGHT Sunny yellow and earthy brown upper and lower walls, respectively, describe the girls' newly decorated locker room. This room was previously drab in color and had a cold atmosphere before the Home Economics girls Cseniors and juniorsj tackled it. Seven girls under the direction of Mrs. Claire Vinning scrubbed Hoors, walls, and windows. The lockers, benches and other incidental furniture were painted in shades of light brown in order to be in harmony with the primary colors of the room. Additional furniture such as a small bed, a mirror, a table and a medicine cabinet were all added to make the room more attractive and useful. Attractive posters were made to put on the walls to remind the girls that it is their duty to keep the locker room clean and free from scattered articles of clothing. The general idea in redecorating the locker room was to make it more pleasant and colorful for the girls so that they could be proud of their room. Showers are to be added later-we hope and trust-for the benefit of the girls of this school and visiting teams. If all the girls help to keep the locker room pricked up and neat, other furniture will probablv be added as the members of t . . e acu ty and the superintendent know the girls of our school are very ap- preciative and co-operative.
