Artlis Starr, Room 6. As a flnal event of the year, our SA English club en- joyed a picnic supper at liuttermilk Falls. When Wednes- day arrived. the day selected for the picnic, the afternoon classes seemed to drag endlessly. When the longed-for bell rang. there was a scramble for the smallst package to carry. Automobiles. bicycles. and shoes served as means of transportation. After we had arrived and selected a good place to eat our supper. an hour aml a half was spent playing baseball. This resulted in an easy victory for Miss Jewell's team over Miss Mattoon's. After a very enjoyable n1eal of hot dogs, rolls, lemon- ade, cake, and toasted marshmallows. we started home wishing we could have a picnic every day.. Leland Stevens, Room 6 May eleventh. a bunch of us boys thought it was time we went swimming. It seemed as if spring were never going to bring us warm weather. so we decided to go any- way, down to the old swimming hole. The weather was much more like l'hristmas than a day in May. and the water was very cold. lVe had a hard time to force outr- selves into the icy water, but after we were in. we had lots of fun. The best sport of all was splashing water on the shivei ing1 boys on shore. After we came out, we had to 1'un around for a half hour before we were warm enough to start for home. llemration Day we tried swimming again with a little more success, although it wasn't very warm then. Lee Ilurling. Room 1 The Library of Last Year Vs. This Year's Library The library of a school has much to do with the im- provement of the school work. Last year, on account of thc crowded condition which prevailed throughout the school. it was impossible to have 11 library. The hooks were in the cupboards along the side of the study hall and a table was in the front of the room for reference work. This was a very inconvenient way of getting hooks for reference. The library was opened only two nights a week so that hooks could be drawn for supplimenta-ry reading work. This year since the new Grammar school has been built. the High School is provided with an excellent library. with a librarian in clmnge. The library can be used any time during the day. Much better work can be accomplished because 1no1'e people can work in the library than in the small space which was provided in Study Hall. Many new books have been purchased and these with many gift. books, aid the students in securing a wider knowledge than before.

After our long year of work at school, we ard glad to get out into the great out-of-doors. Here we the beauties of nature and rest our bodies and 1ni11ds. There are a great many activities to enjoy-swiinming, horse back riding. tennis, mountain climbing, etc. The New England states have many line campsg such as Neshobe, Kill Kare, Idlewild, Cory, Allegro, Ossipee and many others. Some of these camps will accommodate a few boys and girls from SB-Dorothy Brust and Marcia Ferguson at Camp Neshobe, and Sam Cochran at Camp Cory. Camp Neshobe is located on Lake Fairlee. South Fairlee, Vermont. It is for girls from the ages of ten to seventeen. Angelo Patri once said regarding camps, Let the children go. Let them go to the mountains and stretch their bodies and minds. Let them have a glimpse of what it means to get close to the earth and know the mother feel of it. Let them get the smell of tl1e forest in their nostrils. There is nothing sweeter, nothing'cleaner. nothing that will stir up liner memories than the smell of moss crushed under foot, the whiff of pine, the clean smell of ferns knee deep beside the trail. the wood smoke of the evening tire curling toward the stars as the happily tired children roll them- selves in their blankets to- sleep on the bed of pine needles that Mother Nature has il99ll spreading for just this occa- sion. Summer in a good camp will repay the dollar cost a thousand times by its priceless joy. Let the boy or girl go to camp. Marcia Ferguson, Room 5 The Origin of Fireworks The fireworks which are so important to our fun on the Fourth of July originated in China as early as the Iifteenth century. They first came into use, not as means of amusement, but for useful purposes. For many years, rockets, Roman candles, and colored lights have been used as signals for vessels at sea. With these, a regular code was planned so that actual messages could be sent. Even in the World War rockets and star shells were used to light up no man's land. Another queer use of fireworks occurred in 1840, when an unarmed American vessel, Independence, cited pirates. Having no other annmmition at hand, the captain finally thought of sending lighted fireworks into the pirates' boat. They were badly burned but they were glad to retreat. The use of fireworks to celebrate na-tional holidays did not become general until the latter part of the nineteenth century. l'nited States now leads the world in their use.
