JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL FOLIO 7 NVhat am I going to do? XVhat am I going to be? How am I going to do it? Qlf l know what I'm going to do.j These are only three of the hundreds of perplexing questions that confront us. For four years we have been wholly absorbed in our school: studies, sports, social events. XVe havenyt had time or occasion to think of what comes after. XVhen we are freshmen, we can't even imagine there being such a question to settle. But today we are seniors. Tomorrow we will be one of that vast order of alumni, who have their way to 'make in the world. And so we face that question: Vwlhat are we going to do? Some of us are going to settle down comfortably to four years more of happy, care-free student days. But a good many of us are on the brink of the great unknown. The most that we can say is that we will do our best in whatever line we take upg that we will go steadily to the top even as we have done in Jordan I-Iighg that the mediocre, middle-rate things are too low for us. VVe are going to climb. But-we are only on the first rung of that ladder now. If we look down we see how close to the bottom we are and we get discouraged. If we look up, we wonder where this ladder is leading us. VVe must just strike blindly forward watching each rung closely as we pass itg so that we will not stumble and fall to the bottom again. And here's hoping that we will become absorbed in this taskg that we will suddenly wake up to the fact that We have reached the top. -HELEN O. DAVIS. ek.f'!QqfNa ,An Editorial on .Royalty VVhat is loyalty? XVell the best way to find out is to consult a dictionary. Vkfebster tells us that loyalty means fidelity, devotion, con- stancy, and faithfulness. Those are his four definitions or synonyms. Therefore we get the idea that if we are devoted, constant, and faithful in all the things we do, We will be loyal. But don't you think loyalty is a deeper, a greater thing? We are not always loyal. No we may think we are, but after all is said and done we are not. There is of course the one person to Whom we are all devoted. Our mothers! But are we always loyal to her? Haven't there been times in our lives when we have gone against her wishes, when we have hurt her feelings in some way or other? Then we may say we are loyal to our school, but as in the case of our mothers, there are times when more than once in our four years We have been rather wavering in our devotion. VVhen we have thought, No I won't go to that game, we are sure to be beaten, or, No I'd lots rather go to the pictures than to that entertainment that the school is giving? Or possibly some stranger may ask us about our school. Do we always say, Our school is the best! Aren't we apt to say soimething ever so insignificant, but nevertheless just enough so that person will know we aren't true blue? ' So let us strive in our years to come, to be loyal in every single thing we do, whether it be playing a game, or doing something else. -MARTHA R- BRIGGS- VV'e will find that in the end it pays.

M me 691355 ofI9 6 BANIULIS, JOHN JOSEPH Rags College Course Frye Grammar School. Still water runs deep. John is another one of the quiet until you know him typcs. We think that some day he will be one of the big real estate owners of Lewiston. At any rate his favorite word is lot, University of Maine will see him next year. BARNES, CARL EDMUND General 'Course Frye Grammar School. ' Say 'it with test tubes. Science Club 141g Student Aid in Mathematics 141: Math Club 13-453 Vice-president Slide Rule Club 14Jg Chemlstry Assistant 145. You want to see Barnes? Well, go upstairs, he's in the chemistry laboratory. And, surely enough, after you have gone up the worn steps of Jordan High, you found Barnes, l10t with pretty girls as is usual with males of Jordan High, but with Test-Tubes. Next year at Bates, you will be answered Barnes is over at the chemistry Laboratory. Still at it, you'll think. Our prophet, think Rowe, just told me that he sees himself ten years hcnce being answered while visiting the Bureau of Standards, Barnes is over at the Chemistry Department. BARRETT, GRACE MARY General Course Frye Grammar School. Think much, say little. Booster Staff 1455 Folio Staff 1415 Press Club 1495 French Club 1433 Senior Play 1433 Dramatics Club 1415 National Honor Society. This motto applies especially well to Grace for she is one of our quieter girls. But that doesn't mean that she is never in things, for quite to the contrary, she is a.- ways very busy and active in many school affairs. Didn't you think that she made a wonderful mother for Jack? Grace is going to Dingley Training School next year, so she won't be far away for the next few years. BEDNARZ CAROLINE MARY Commercial Course Wallace Parochial School. Vurie1y is the spice of life. Caroline is one of the quietest as well as one of the smallest young ladies in our class. She is so very quiet, indeed, that few of us have the honor of knowing her very wcll, but those of us who do, you may be sure, are very fond of her, Caroline intends to go to some business col- lege after she graduates from Jordan High and then she plans to make some firm a good stenographer and typist.
