Dot is quiet and studious. It seems easy for her to smile. If she be- comes a nurse, as rumor says she plans to do, she will cheer many a patient. COMMERCIAL Business Manager of Tell-a-Tale 4: Commercial Club 4: Cooking Club l. Arthur, we hope to have you as a friend for many years to come, so here is wishing you a speedy recovery and success in everything you under- take. IN APPRECIATION The Banner Board wishes to take this oppor- tunity to express, in a small degree, its thanks to Miss Hall and Mr. Griffin for the time and effort which they have expended in order that this year's edition may be a success. We also wish to thank Miss Maher, Miss Hunt, and Mr. Hopkins for their advice concerning selection of material for various columns: we thank those teachers who sponsored columns concern- ing special activities in their departments: we thank all others who offered their services in any way. Readers of this volume will notice that the headings for various sections were contributed by our own students: the cover design was sketched by Phillip Bailey '47 as was the Armed Services heading: the School Notes sketch was made by Ellen Randall '35: Athletics was the work of Evelyn Storer '31: Cloyd Brown '37 drew the Literature de- sign: Dorothy Soper '33 the sketch we are using with Activities ',. It would have been impossible to print the Roster of Armed Services had it not been for the careful work of Mr. Frank Burbank in com- piling the records so they might include the names of all graduates of L. F. H. S. as well asf. , names of former students. Rita Gagnon '44 gave much assistance in assembling the final list. The record is complete as far as we can ascertain. Any further information concerning names that have been omitted that can be fur- nished will be appreciated by Mr. Burbank. We regret the complete absence of group pic- tures. Due to the death of Mr. Harry Allen we have no local photographer. The expense of getting a photographer from out of town seemed to prohibit all group pictures this year. FILMS IN ASSEMBLY Rev. Frederick W. Smith, Superintendent of Christian Civic League of Maine, showed an interesting film on the subject of the effects of alcohol on the human system. The approach to the subject was from a completely scientific viewpoint and showed the effect of alcohol on the mind: the film demonstrated how behavior was infiuenced by a small amount of alcohol. The printed questionnaire which was given each student developed much interested questioning from the student body. Another film was presented to students through the local school health service. The general subject of Tuberculosis was interestingly developed by Dr. Arms and Mrs. Elaine Murray, local district doctor and nurse. The results of their careful presentation of the film were indicated by the larger number of students who presented themselves for tests later. Over one hundred students were given the patch test. The group that showed slight positive reaction later went to Hebron Sani- tarium for more complete check through X-ray photographs.
