6 THE RECORD they are proud of it and want it continued? We want to thank you all for making this publication a financial success and if you feel that it has its merits we sincerely hope you will aid us to publish another next year. Ted Berry '30 COOPERATION OOPERATION is one of the most vital factors in making a successful school, for if the people of the town did not loyally support the school and the teacher, the stu' dents would soon lose interest and probably many of them would leave. Without the cooperation of the townspeople, the school also would be unable to have many of the extra curricula activities, such as athletics, plays, or debates. During this past year the citizens of the town have helped the High School immense' ly by cooperating with her in her work and by attending the basketball games and other activities of the school. We wish to thank the townspeople for their loyal cooperation shown by their at' tending numerous school events, helping to make them a success financially as well as otherwise, and hope that in the following years they will continue to show as much interest in the school. G. I. H. '31 THE COST OF ATHLETICS A SUM of about S400 is used each year for athletics in our school. If we have athletics in our school,-and I am sure all the townspeople want our school to be represented in athletics, --how shall the money be raised? Shall the students earn it by having various social functions or shall the town vote at town meeting to raise the necessary sum? There are a great many people who object to being solicited for mag' azine subscriptions and the like. If the town raised the sum, it would do away with all this, and the students would not have to work as hard in order to have athletics. ' j. M. W. '30 TWO SESSIONS POR a number of years there has been much discussion here in Kingfield, conf cerning a one and a two session school. There are many arguments favoring both sides but I will endeavor to show you some of the advantages of a two session school. First, the students have much more time in school. This does not necessarily mean merely to study, but supervised study, also longer periods for reciting. Of course the students can go back to school in the after' noon now to get help, but how many stu' dents who really need that help do go back in the afternoon without being asked to do so by the teachers? You know, as well as I, that there are not very many who go back. Second, when we have the Student Active ity Association Meetings more students would attend them because they would be there at the close of school. As it is now very few students attend, so that questions that are brought up pertaining to the gen' eral welfare of the students can not be sctf tled to suit each student. Third, the boys would be on the school grounds on time to practise baseball and track. There would not be any chance of one of them being late so as to make the rest of them wait for him. The argument has been advanced by those favoring a one session school that the stu- dents needing money have a chance to work afternoons but it was found t t in the members of the Junior and Senio classes that there was only one who worked and that one did not need to.

However this year, with the aid of Mr. Kitchin and the teachers, we have been able to publish a school paper again. The business man' agers have done very good work in securing advertisementsg so we have been able to have a much larger paper than was at first expected. A school paper is an excellent thing for any school to have because it gives the par' ents and townspeople a much better insight into school life and the various school activf ities. It shows what the students can do and who is taking part in the various activf ities. It also is a record of the Occurrences and social events and activities of the school year which can be kept in years to come. Those working on the school paper are also benefited especially if they wish to do work of this kind in years to come. A 1. M. W. 'so WE WANT YOUR SUPPORT IF OUR paper is a worthy project. If you are satisfied that it is a worthwhile venture - Business men of Kingfield '- we want your support. We knew that we had to prove that we could put out a school paper which would be a credit to the school and town before we could ask for much sup' port. We have been content to take cheer' fully whatever aid you wanted to offer. The aim of this article is not to find fault. We know that other towns are proud of their school papers and have supported them loyally. We want you to be proud of ours. Our paper will go into many towns and help put the name of Kingfield where it belongs. We have met with most generf ous response from the business men of Farm' ingtong in fact they are the ones that have made our paper possible this year. Many towns go to Farmington to solicit advertisf ing, yet nearly everyone whom I went to see helped us out and even the ones that did not help us gave ads to their own Farm- ington paper. Does that not prove that
