- 'Lewiston High School ZEEIB QOUHLI of the Class cz 1937 ' twist to whatever he saysg knows how to put personality behind the most innocent remarkg and he does not attempt to be witty at the expense of semeone else, whether this person is present or not. Of course wit should not be practiced unless you are a master in the art, because too often a witty remark may gain few smiles and lose a friend. No one should ever be wounded in conversation, even in jest. But if you are to be one who is oversensitive you are conscious of yourselfg in other words, it is a form of selfishnessg to overcome this, think less of yourself and more of the people you are with, and the subject under discussion. -Lucien Toutain AN APPRECIATION OF MISS CALLAHAN'S FRENCH CLASSES These French classes have been and are the most enjoyable I have ever attended, and l have had tive dilterent French teachers before coming to Lewiston High School. The pleasure of these sessions is largely due to Miss Callah:1n's personality. As a teacher, she is above reproach. But, in addition to the usual virtues a good teacher must possess. Miss Callahan has a wonderful sense of humor, This humor is hard to describeg it is too illusive. There appears a little shy twinkle in Miss Callahan's eyes, there is a slight pause and then a 'fast onen. Classes always start olf properly and keep up beautifully, The weather changes and so do moods. but a dependable thing by which to swear is Miss Callahanfs sense of humor. -R. F. FINISH YOUR JOB! Four years ago we listened, many of us inllated with self-confidence, to the friendly advice of well wishers. who had profited by their years in high school, and wished to let their experiences help XYe listened-but did we really heed? Hlllake everything count. Hlfinish every task you startf? 'flmprove each day? 'Aim high. All of these worthwhile slogans-and innumerable others-we listened to- but how? XYeren't we Freshmen?,' 'AS-urely we knew somethingln 'tThat was their experience Y' Days passed-days of work and recreation-many of us have listened and we thought we were heeding. Did we watch our compass-- or did some of us close our books with a shrug that might have meant. Hllll finish that in the morning. But we have learned! XYhy did so many of us only listen? XVhy did we not heed profoundly the sage voice of experience? How many of us might have helped better the scholastic record of our class! To those members who listened and heededv we give our congratulations! PAGE

if ff' W- Lewiston High School mlm JIHUHU of Ihe Class ol' 193.7 ---W .. l IN MEMORIAM lt is with reverence that we pause here to honor the memory of our late junior-English teacher, Miss Harriette Lucy McCann, who passed away this winter. XYQ, the graduating class of l937. were fortunate to have had her last year for the full year. Her memory will live on forever, not only as a great teacher, but as a good friend to all of us, as well. She helped us to see the beautiful side of life. she saw it. She had indeed given us a better understa-nding of good literature. Not only do her pupils mourn her death, but our faculty as well. In the many years to come. I am sure that her memory will always be cherished by those fortunate enough to have been her pupils and her friends. -Helen Scolnik A LIFE'S PROGRAM Forget Yesterday. Do not be tormented by past errors you have made. Do not brood about something that is without remedy. Do not start the day with a sigh. Do not start your daily work with a frown. Yesterday is passed and you can do nothing about it. Brighten up today. Get the most out of today. Do not lose your time. Fill the day with sunshine. Act as if you had but the present day to dispose of. Make the program for to-morrow. Make a note each night of the work that is to be done on the morrow, and do not let anything stop you from doing what you have planned for each hour of the day. Appreciate the value of time. Your time is worth as much as that of a prince. Talking of minutes, you are millionaire. Do not let millions go by unnecessarily. -Germaine Therriaiult A SENSE OF HUMOR A sense of humor is a splendid thing to have, but you must know how to use it. lt is not humor to laugh at every trifling remark, to pun constantly while others are having a serious discussion, or to retell jokes from newspapers and magazines. The person with the real sense of humor knows how to give a clever PAGE I2

The students of Lewiston High School have had several chances to show their school spirit during the year. The faculty is also doing its part to encourage these activities. XVhen one is interested the work becomes easier and this makes the time tly away unnoticed. IYe hope that the students of Lewiston High School will carry on this good school spirit through the years to come. -Velma Richardson Every person has an ambition to be successful from the time he is old enough to think. He or she wants to become a great doctor, lawyer, nurse, aviator, author, etc. From the time that a child decides what he wants to become. he starts to prepare for the future . He realizes that only through much study and hard work will he be able to accomplish his desire. Each boy and girl that has planned to attend college knows that by study he or she may attain the scholastic standard necessary for college entrance. Each student who has decided to enter into the field of business also realizes that study will make him efficient. Thus he acquires all the learning possible and on graduation day each one feels satisfied that he has done his best to succeed in his chosen career. The college students enter the portals o fhigher learning while the business pupils become associated with the various business houses. However, the student who has wasted his time in school is dissatisf hed with himself on graduation day. He realizes the folly of wasting his school hours and he is perhaps discouraged. This discouragement leads many students to believe that they will never be any good in the world and it makes them adopt an UI don't care attitude. These students should realize that many opportunities are still open to them to become at least self-supporting. There are a great many trade schools and business colleges to which these boys and girls might go. By the time they have completed the courses at those schools, each one will feel satisfied that he is able to do some kind of work skillfully. This feeling will make the students happy and it will bring back their childhood ambition of bettering them- selves. Thus, they too, will become successful and their ul don't care attitude will be a thing of the past. -M. C. PAGE in
