GUILFORD HIGH SCHOOL Here's to Guilford High School The school that we all love, To enter our dear schoolhouse We don't often need a shove. This is the one that is the best In country, town or state, Anyone who does her wrong May soon be shown the gate. Now let me tell' you of this school That each one loves so well, There are many, many things, Which of course I cannot tell. First I'll speak of the Seniors, The class that all should like 3 They really try to do their best, And work both day and night. Perhaps you think them lazy Or think they do not work 5 But neither class, nor duty Do the Seniors ever shirk. Now I'll tell of the Juniors, They're' a very jolly class, They are all so brilliant I'1n sure that they'1l,all pass. I did not mean that for -a slam Nor mean it for a joke, It's really what I think of them, So that is why I spoke. Next yow meet the Sophomores, They are a very fine bunchg That every one will get ahead I have a pretty good hunch. Perhaps you do not understand That I think theylre of the best, I 1 ,. If you doubt the truth in this Just put them to the test. Then you see the Freshmen, All young, happy and gay, They like to spend their time Having fun and out at play. But for all their laughter, And all their jokes and fun, r There never was a better class at In G. H. S., no, not one. Next there is the Eighth Grade, Of these I know not much, But guess they're all O. K. With them I'll get in touch. We should really know them better, These classes, large and smallg They make our G. H. S. a school That never has to stall. The lowest grade in G. H. S. Is the Seventh as you know, It is a very jolly class As lower classes go. But just because they're younger That is surely not a sign They'll not make G. H. S. prouder As they wander down the line. I'd like to tell you more, But that cannot be done, As this is plenty long enough You'll see, as poems run. This is a humble effort, A try to write in verse. And though this is not of the best, It could'be a whole lot worse. K. A. '30 1 1 l l 1 l 1

THE ROSTRUM Published by the Students of Guilford High School LABOR OMNIA VINCIT I How many times we have heard this expression! Labor Omnia Vincit . Translated literally it means, Work Conquers All . There are so many mottoes which We read and hear about that we haven't the slightest idea as to their meaning. But this one is the most simple We could possibly find. Still difficulty arises. Sometimes things are too easy, and then We fail to comprehend their meaning. It is a motto which ev- eryone needs and should retain in his memory. 'Foo often the simplest tasks develop entirely different from that which We had predicted. The same case arises in the meaning of this saying, Nothing in life is easy. Of course some things are more difli- cult than others, but everything takes work. Unfortunately a great many people fail to understand this and consequently make a failure of life. Work Conquers All should be a warning to us who are about to start our own life, Which, no matter how unimportant we may seem, will re- flect on the general trend of the affairs of the World. MUSIC FESTIVAL 1 The annual Music Festival took place at Dover-Foxcroft and Sanger- ville this year It was a decided suc- cess With the combined efforts of the music teachers of Guilford, Sanger- ville, Dover-Foxcroft, Milo and Dex- ter. Nothing could be more appro- priate to show the musical talent de- veloped in the schools than the excel- lent programs which have been ren- dered. It is with exceeding sorrow that We Seniors must give up this pleasure of participating in it. DEBATING CLUB The Debating Club has been very active this year with its leaders, Vel- ma Colson, Harriet Gray, Virginia Nelson, David Pierce, and Gordon Andrews. The team was staunchly supported by equally active members. Although the teams lost both de- bates, the experience 'has been fine and next year promises to have a Win- ning team. 3R CONTEST The a.nnual 3R Contest took place in Monson, May 2. This interesting and educational affair has been very successfully carried out for the third time by the combined schools of Greenville, Monson, Sangerville, Ab- bot and Guilford. The same curricu-
