Hermon vs. East Corinth One of the most exciting games of the year was East Corinth at Hermon. Both teams fought desperately, while the crowd cheered them on. Each team matched basket for basket until in the final quarter Hermon pulled away to win by a score of 29-17. Hermon vs. Alumni Here was a thrilling game. During the first quarter the high school went into the lead with a score of 7-2. At the half the Alumni tied the score but the high school crept ahead and at the end of the third the high school was leading 23-16. At the end of the fourth quarter the game was tie and in an overtime the Alumni won by one point. BASEBALL This year Hermon High is eagerly looking forward to the baseball season. There is a large niunber of boys trying out for the team, most of whom are inexperienced, but Mr. Young hopes to field a good team. We will have games with East Corinth, Corinna, Newport, Hartland, and Hampden Academy. This year each player is determined to come out on top. By the time the Microphone reaches you, results of some of the games should be known.

Then summer comes when Spring is over, And we'll see many fields of clover- After that, Fall will be calling, And the leaves will then be falling- Then comes Winter, last of all, And with it comes, the snow piles tall. BEVERLY LIBBY Grade 7 I Cun't Make Up a Poem I can't make up a poem, Although I often tryg It comes so very hard to me I sit right down and cry. But my teacher says I must Think and take my time. I know so very many words, Why can't I make them rhyme? BEVERLY WQH ITE Grade 8 FUTURE FARMER MEETINGS The Future Farmer Chapter of Hermon High has been quite active this year in sponsoring farm meetings for the benefit of the people of Hermon. These meetings have been designed for the purpose of acquainting the farmers with our agricul- tural specialists and giving them a chance to personally ask questions that they wish about any phase of agriculture for which that specialist is well qualified to answer. We started our monthly meetings in Oc- tober and have had one every month except December. Our plan has been to feature a different phase of agriculture each month and in that way to eventually cover all phases of agriculture. The movies offer education as well as entertainment nature to add variety to the program. We hope our farm programs have proved of successful value to the people of the town.
