EDITORIALS THE EDITOR SPEAKS I think no one can realize the work that goes in to putting a yearbook to- gether. It seems as though it will never get finished. You work off and on in your spare time all year and then the deadline is set. The last two weeks are a mad scramble. You re- member you haven’t finished your editorial; all the ads aren’t in yet; you need more jokes and literary— the list is endless. Just when you think things are looking up someone reminds you that you have left some- thing out. At times you wonder why you have only eleven on the yearbook staff when twenty probably couldn’t get everything done. Everyone is ready with suggestions to make your yearbook “different from all the other years” but—when you come up with the suggestion that they put some of their ideas down on paper—oh, oh!! “You know I’m no good at that.” So you just do your level best to please everyone and make your yearbook “just a little different.” You try to remember all the criticisms you’ve made of other annuals and write yours in such a manner as to overcome these faults. You begin to wish you’d had more time to put in on last year’s yearbook when you were the Assistant Editor. Perhaps this should have been titled “Trials and Tribulations of a Yearbook Editor,” but actually I’m not complaining. I wouldn’t have given up this chance for all the world. And my advice to you all is, if ever you get a chance to do any- thing of this nature—do it—you’ll be really glad and, in the end, proud you did. Barbara Haskell Editor-in-Chief EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES Studying should not take up your entire high school life. In order to become broad minded and a well rounded individual you must have outside interests. Extra curricular activities are set up specifically for this purpose. There are many varied opportunities for those who are will- ing to take advantage of them. Those who feel that our school lacks the proper facilities for group recreation should try to make the best of what we do have. The clubs in our school have comparatively little active par- ticipation and therefore we should endeavor to improve them. The clubs we have now with the help of all the students could be made more appealing. Leaders of these organizations cannot be ex- pected to fulfill their duties and obligations without the cooperation of the entire student body. F.H.A., Glee Club, Safety Council, and all Sports are there for three main rea- sons, one—for you to enjoy, two— for you to appreciate, and three—to be benefited from. Join them and de- velop in body and mind. Peggy Becker and Beverley Pike Located on top of Miller Hill, Hermon, on U. S. Route 2, eight miles West of Bangor Hermon Motor Court Mailing Address: R.F.D.
