Because the world is about community size now Qwith another nation almost as close as the next town was, not so many years agoy, the decisions we make will be momentous. During their senior year commercial course students are required to read one or more books concerning business manners, vocabulary, and speech. Robert Henry and Barbara Crawford are examining this special library on the book shelves in the typing room. hrough Varied Reading. At the compound microscope Margaret Eastman examines the inlinitestimal world, perhaps trying to wrest more secrets from nature and make the inevitable comparisons of microcosm and macrocosm. 17 Freshman girls fraternize on lobby steps before school.

How much so many owe to so few is well illustrated by the historic docu- ments of our country. Ada Lyman and Allan Perry of the junior U. S. History class examine one of the foundations of our liberties, The Declaration of Independence. 21 Understanding Fundamentals, Maps! Maps! Maps! Our place in the world, as apparent in map study, is being demonstrated by Ella Mae Gordon, standing before the Top of the World map.

At the serving window, upper right, sophomores Noella Castonguay, Janice Lowell, Elaine Rea, and Sandra Gallant get bumper-size servings from cafeteria assistant, Mrs. Faye Steward. The student meal ticket costs twenty- live cents. Learning to know and like the essential foods is part of the school cafeteria training program at Livermore Falls. The type A school lunch furnishes foods from each of the basic seven food groups. All nutrients that young people need, minerals, vitamins, and the calories required for growth and energy are provided in the daily menus served at the school's cafeteria. Through example, too, the teachers and lunchroom helpers teach students politeness and manners within the lunchroom at the time the lunch tickets are collected, and when the service of food is pro- vided at the counter. Mrs. Florence Beaulieu is cafeteria super- visor. By Education - Minded Community, Bus service is another of the modern conveniences an education-minded community furnishes the school popu- lation.

Maybe he simply thinks, Where does time ever go to? on Why wasnt I busier this year? Would that all students could honestly say, Each day we have brought to the necessary task our full effortg we have met the challenge: each year gives its reward for work well done! Our serious graduates, Meredeth Brown and Robert Henry, realize that Commence- ment marks another beginning. 27 CROSS SECTION OF THE STl7DEN'l' BODY Q8 And so what of the members of the cast? What of their part in the con- tinuing epic of humankind? What do they think of success? Stttdents, teachers. and parents participate in the round-robin on this page. ls being the most popular, asks one student, or the prettiest, the best- dressed, attd at the head of ezferytlting success? To have my own little home, to raise a family happily that I could put. along and be proud of through life Cas a successful father wouldj seems best to me, enthused one senior boy. The young child playing with her dolls dreams of a snug-knit family. Mrs, Success doesn't always drive down Park Avenue in a mink 'coatg she may walk to her chain store market on Main St1reet. If not gifted in books, 1 must work at my vocation, because I know the world needs me.', The common weary-day accomplishments are important, and Some of the poorest people in the world have the most in the bank. We tnust have friends and be well-liked, not to be alone in the world. Setting a good example is important because somebody may be watching your life, and if you fail he will get discouraged too. One must have faith in hintself because things are not always going to he easy, more likely will he hard. Get a well-spoken-of-name because of honesty, depend- ability, and industry. A law-abiding spirit is an asset to at community with good, straight, honest oliicials: for criminals mttst not lurk in the dark alleys nor sit in high places. Our nation was founded by men who worked for the good of all and not just for thetnselves. lf we fail to be a part of what is going on, ottr precious freedoms will be lost. Good leaders anti good followers are needed. 'lihe successful man shottld not always want to be the hero, himself: he should think of how much has been done for him. The perfectionist student does not stop with one success but goes on to another triumph. He has great dreatns and initiates needed changes courageously, even if his neighbors think he's wrong. A child must be really successful within himself, learn the difference between the true and the false, the good attd the evil. lt is easy, when young. to get false ideas about the real meaning of life. 'l'here are pitfalls, rivers to cross, and tnountains to climb. But ttse the 'sword of victory and run the villains through' ttntil you stand on the Mountain of Success, having gained truth, honesty. loyalty. and all the good and right things of life. Teachers and parents were completely in accord with these lofty ideas. 'l'he successful matt is an honest tnan. He wastes no effort in trying to be on gttard lest he trap himself in his own lies. He knows that failures often teach a lesson from which he may profit and learns how even such conditions may be stepping stones to higher ground. He must be moral: otherwise he does not command respect from those around himg he realizes that the evils which have ttttderrnined great nations can ttttdcrmine the individttal. Such tt. perxort docs not drift. but he trains his lmhits attd Ffllll'llfl'S his mind. Success is that inner feeling of pride attd happiness that comes from attaining worthwhile goals. The successful person has a respect for his own work, and self-respect in work, play, and life with others. Such standards have developed through the centuries as a resttlt of human experience: one who llouts standards breaks down the ladder which htttnankind has so laboriottsly climbed to its present civilization. Theta t Dedicated and Humble, SPRAG UE R. VVHITNEY LONG-TIME L. F. H. S. TEACHER RETIRES Mr. Sprague R. Whitney, twenty-eight years submaster at L. F. H. S. and science and math teacher for college course students, resigned in june, 1955. During his stay at L. F. H. S. Mr. Whitney had gained great prestige as a teacher. He was not only a master of subject matter, but possessed that rarer ability to impart his knowledge to his classes in crystal-clear explanation and in well-organized demonstration. He was a task- master who did not counsel the easy way. He demanded of his boys and girls their best effort., always a challenge to the superior student. Laggards at class work knew that they faced stern censure, and thus were spurred on to the keen competition that life demands as one of the requirements for suc- cess. Mr. Whitney was more influential than most teachers in shaping the careers of stu- dents, and at L. F. H. S. he was fortunate in the large number of students who became his eager disciples. A very large farewell reception was ten- dered Mr. and Mrs. Whitney at the school cafeteria in june. A tribute, written for the oc- casion, concluded, Not only did you develop mastery in the field of the quadratic equation, in expounding the scientific principle or in the conduct of laboratory experimentation, as adviser to activities of the box ofiice, ticket sales, ushers, and Aeronautics Club, you im- pressed on students what it meant to handle an activity with such thoroughness that the performance of duties could be delegated largely to students who would thereby gain valuable lessons in responsibility and service to their school.

SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION AT L. F. H. S., 1955-6 As ever at L.F.H.S., changes in school plant and curriculum were instituted, or were undergoing consideration. Physical training classes were started in the gym for all L.F.H.S. students and were held during three of the seven periods on alter- nate days for boys and girls. Early in the year a project in evaluation was undertaken by the State Department of Education in co-operation with school admin- istration and the L.F.H.S. faculty. Much com- mittee work for teachers ensued and meetings with state personnel occurred before the final evaluation was complete. This project was in accordance with a State Department of Education program of determining a new classification ol high schoolsg it also will be- come possible for state personnel to advise systematically and concretely the shaping of our high school program.

It includes the whole nature of a young human being, mental, spiritual, physical, and social. Thus at l.. F. H. S. a varied assortment of extra-curricular activities gives a large number of students a .vcroml education. Outside the classroom, often contributing strongly to scholastic skills these doings range from work on committees and on publications, acting in the school play twhether behind the scenes or before the footlightsj, to learning and practicing safety rules in Rifle Club drills. demonstrating athletic skills on the field or gym floor, cultivating leisurestime interests, and gaining music appreciation or proficiency in choral or band work. 'l'hrough these tasks L. F. H. students attain that extra something which leads to social poise, executive ability, willingness to undertake new responsi- bilities, all of which mark an approaching adulthood. The companionship oflfered by school clubs is beneficial, all students asser- ted. In clubs they learned about people, how they think and act, what moves them to do as they do. Talking, arguing, agreeing, and disagreeing, students learn how to get on with each other. Homemakers planning a Candlelight Ceremony, lfuture Farmers working with a hay-baler or practicing for a Con- duct of Meeting contest, Future Nurses making Cancer dressings, Dramatic Club students rehearsing a pantomime, Commercial Club selling refreshments at a football game, the strutting Majorettes and Kaydettes - all these show an active school. 'l'hese activities, the teachers say, are tools for success, for through them one learns to live abundantly, to contribute usefully, and to adjust happily. One learns his responsibilities to society: it is 'learning by doing' in the extra- curricular lleld. He must get on with his fellowmen and he learns when to yield and when to advance argutnents skillfully, so that the majority accepts his own well-planned way of doing a thing. lt is the busy tnan who has time to do good, says another teacher, and his talents will be increased, not by burying them, but by putting them to work. ln the spring a boy may plant a garden. He may watch it grow during the summer months, when he tends and cares for it. In the autumn when he reaps the harvests, the garden is really a success because the boy has had the ability to create, writes one student. Co-operation is an important factor because we can seldom reach the snnnnit without encouragement and assistance. lt is a wonderful feeling to know the 'gang' is backing you up just when you need it. The teachers are willing to put in extra time with you too. Do not fail to join a school club or two, because in this way you will not feel alone, left out. 'l'he Majorettes learn to twirl their batons in unison and to march together. 'l'hat is Success and so it is when townspeople work together for a pleasant and friendly town. If we work together in school clubs successfully, uw .rlmtlvlcl lu' nblz' fo lim' ltnpjzily logetltvr in llle zvorld on many different levels of race and nationality.

THE BANNER, 1955-56 An aspiring young advertising worker on the yearbook staff must, first of all, be sure, when he makes his business calls, that his appearance is Heat because good grooming impresses our patrons. One starts by intro- ducing himself if he does not already know the businessman. By showing him the 1955 Banner, stressing such important points as colored pages and explaining the Wide circu- What word can we use here? Look in Roget's Thesaurus. Where is the dictionary? Is that the correct tense of the verb? Word choice is only one of the problems that confront the literary committee of The Banner. The committee assigns writing, hopes to discover budding authors, and checks work with the typists. lation of a large number of copies, the Banner agents convince the advertiser that yearbook ad rates are really not expensive. At all times the business staff tries to make friends, and to ensure selling ads in 1957. The student remembers to thank the businessman for the ad, or if unsuccessful, to thank him for lis- tening. It is important not to waste his time nor to delay stalf work. BANNER TYPISTS.

WE SHOOK THE FAMILY TREE This year's school play, under the direction of Mrs. Elizabeth Griffin, resulted in another popular hit. The drama, We Shook the Family Tree, is a three-act comedy con- cerning a sixteen-year-old girl with a vivid imagination that often led her into trouble. Hildegarde had to attend Junior Prom with the banker's son, Freddie. Although sixteen, this mother's little boy was told to wear knickers to the Prom. How Freddie escaped such a fate with the help of Hildegarde was amusingly related by the actors in lfVe Shook the Family Tree. Hildegarde fjanet Randallj explains to her lolling and slightly sceptical brothers, Ceylon Bar- clay and Tommy Randall, how she gave her debate speech fleft panelj.

Whether presenting pantomimes or gingerly applying make-up on some hapless club member, the group always has a good time. Christmas and St. Valentine's Day are celebrated with lively parties. Refreshments are enjoyed, games are played with great enthusiasm. With funds accumulated from club dues, the members are able to attend two plays: one at Lakewood, the other a dramatic presentation by a college or a high school play in this area. DRAMATIC CLUB.

That is the question. The club has helped the school in many ways. It has purchased many new machines and other equipment for the Commercial Department. The club meets each Friday, ways and means of adding to its treasury are discussed, entertainment is also provided for every meeting by a program committee. Annually for some years now, the club has made at least one family happier at Christmas time by giving its members boxes heaped with clothing and toys. A basket of food is sent, also a chicken, which is bought with club funds, as a guarantee of a good dinner. Under the supervision of Mrs. Brown, Ad- viser, the Commercial Club sells refreshments at football and basketball games, club com- mittees sell Christmas cardsg earrings and cor- sages are made by members of the club at Christmas time, candy is sold every noon. No wonder club members are very busy and the club treasury is never empty. Pictures, page 59.

SENIOR WASHINGTON TRIP This year the Vlfashington Trippers were very successful in their attempt to raise tour funds. Among their financial projects were a Hunter's Breakfast, a Car-Wasli, a Bottle Drive, Magazine Drive, Paper Drive, Christ- mas Tree Sale, and Spaghetti Feed. All these projects netted a tidy sum because parents and townspeople took an interest in the senior trip. The seniors, themselves, exuded energyg special committees worked hard and were present at all project work. It made little difference whether they had to report for duties during the day, night, or early morning as at the Hunter's Breakfast, when prepara- 1956 G0 2 a.1n. and meal service at cooking had to be done, the fexcept for the Spaghetti were not idle, as they were the waiters at all events.

Perhaps it lies just as much in the hands of the homemakers as with our business and professional women, for truly the homemaker is coming to be considered professional today. The FHA club at L. F. H. S. has been sponsoring chapter degrees to promote homemaking and inter- school-home co-operation. Mfhether it be sending boxes of clothes to needy countries, or conducting food sales to meet club expen- ses, the FHA is ever active. The club is now planning to start such projects as first aid, sewing, and good grooming. Such activities can be helpful to club members today and in the future, and aid in personality develop- ment, in creating hobbies, and in making life more 1l1tCI'CSt1l1g. PERSONAL GOALS.

Facing a problem of earning suflicient money to carry on its program of worthwhile activities, the Port Royal Chapter of Future Farmers of America 'decided to buy a field hay baler. A New Holland engine-powered No. 66 baler was purchased. During the haying season the FFA boys baled over four hundred tons of hay for about thirty farmers in the Livermore-Livermore Falls district. The project served three main purposes: it helped finance club activitiesg it offered a ser- vice to many small farmers in the vicinityg in the operating, maintaining, and servicing of the machine a school educational project was fostered.

Students were interested in testing aptitudes, chances of employment, changing business conditions, and were fascinated by the many glimpses into the adult business world. Speakers ex- plained opportunities for a well-rounded life of service and satisfaction in helping others. They also said that academic skills are necessary for college, and spoke of the iron will versus the I.

This is the begin- ning of another rehearsal of the orchestra. After a year's lapse of time it seemed good to audien- ces, as well as students, to welcome back this musi- cal group to L. F. H. S. During activity period on Fridays one can pass the gym and hear frag- mentary strains from such school lavorites as R0maine and SOIdiers' Mn1'cl1. Because orchestral music in a quiet mood was needed for indoor activities, the L. F. H. S. or- chestra was revived. Since a decided lack ol' stringed instruments exists, perhaps an S. O. S. for strings should be sounded to the grade stu- dents who would give good service to the school by choosing violin or bass viol as instruction instruments. POPULAR BOYS' QU ARTET The three juniors in tl1is picture started sing- ing together in their freshman year. Besides sing- ing at school affairs, the services of the quartet have been greatly in demand at church, grange, and lodge allairs. The boys sing at dances and at reunions of various sorts, they were heard on a radio program shortly alter Christmas this year. All their numbers are sung a cappella.

As usual in club meetings, safety is discussed and safe handling of firearms under all conditions demonstrated fhome care, transportation on range, and in the woodsj. The N. R. A. program is outlined. The boys are shown correct sight-pictures for the various combinations of sights.

BASEBALL, 1955 Amid the usual signs of spring, mud, water, showers, and more showers, the school's call for candidates for the great national pastime was issued. Because of construction going on, Griffin Memorial Field was not available, which meant practice sessions had to be held at Dow Field. All games were played on op- ponents' fields. This condition started the sea- son off to the disadvantage of L. F. H. S., al- though, at first, prospects looked bright. Only 15 boys tried out for the team. This scarcity of material plus an injury to our Ace chucker, Tink Wagner, contributed to the disastrous results. Although inexperienced, the Andies in many ways held their own with their oppon- ents. Without an experienced battery the team was outclassed eventually.

S. after a long inactive period, track is 11ow the school's youngest sport. Because of lack of equipment no meets with other schools were held last year. Luckily for the sport, most of the boys who are pictured on this page are underclassmen and will prob- ably report for practice this year. The team attended a practice meet with .lay High School. As of now, L. F. H. S. has no ollicial track but it is hoped space will be found for one soon. The 100-yard-dash men use the football field, while the other runners use a quarter- mile strip staked oil around the football field. The squad is also hoping for new equip- ment, including javelins, discs and hurdles. Coach Puiia states that, if more fellows go out for practice and show interest in the sport, scheduled meets will be planned. Track will then become a letter sport, event-winners receiving their track letter. Members of the track group feel sure that if they should get the necessary equipment, and an enlarged squad should try out, victories could be chalk- ecil up at future meets. ON YOUR MARKS.

FOOTBALL, 1955 L. F. H. S. opened its season with a nine game schedule, playing their up-river rivals in the first game at home. In the opening game the jay Tigers gave L. F. H. S. a solid trounc- ing, Sl-0. Playing their third game on the Farmington field, the Andies were successful, l3-7. Early in the game a pass interception with a few quick plays accounted for the first touchdown. L. F. H. S. blocking, running, and tackling were sharp and efficient. The second touch- down came on a pass from Binette to Davis. Farmington scored on an Andies' fumble. The Andies played a good game at South Paris. Due to the absence of three or four starters, only eleven men were used. Aaron White played a beautiful defensive game. The Andies played a six to six tie, using mainly freshmen and sophomores who gave a good account of themselves. With the season nearing an end, the Andies played Wilton in water and mud. Again they were defeated Q7-65 in a close, hard fought game. The closing game of the season in which six L. F. H. S. seniors played their last high school game was at Jay. The team was snowed under by the Tigers, 42-0. Lack of eager, quali- fied reserves and large, gaping weaknesses in the front line accounted for L. F. H. S. lack of success during this season.

About forty boys were out for practice. L. F. H. S. defeated Leavitt in the first game sched- uled. The team's first loss was to Jay.. A second defeat was later administered by -lay, but by a fairly close score, 63 to 57. Up to this time the L. F. H. S. record stood 8 wins, l loss. The team won the next two games, taking its third defeat from South Paris. In its first game with South Paris, the hometeam came from behind in the final period to overcome a twenty-one point enemy lead. The final score stood 77-76, with Liver- more edging out South Paris. Sadly enough the next day the Andies went to South Paris, only to lose a game in which until the very end, L. F. H. S. led. The Andies' final record was ll wins, three defeats. In the regional tournament Wilton was defeated by LQ F. H. S. very easily by a score of 63 to 43, but in the finals the team lost again to Jay. The defeat was a heartbreaker, as Livermore lost by a single point, 51 to 50. On the whole the season was one of the most successful in a number of years. Xe' N. S?

No, I can't waste time fooling around, and looking out of windows, if I am to go to college, responds another. Certain students think they worry too much about tests, finishing the book report, adding long columns of figures in bookkeeping, mastering the geometry problem, or learning conjuga- tions of Latin verbs, but to gain success one must have the intelligence' to lislrn :mtl ilu' will lo learn. He must do often the things he docfsift like to rlo. lf a subject 'comes hard' to him, he should sacrifice movies, a T-V pro- gram, a dance, or a date in order to do homework. One thing is sure, he will not be successful if he studies as little as he has tog he should do a 'little extra,' a little more than he has been asked to do. Success is everywhere, we see it in our automobiles, homes, oflices, factories, schools, in science and medicine, and in the smiling face of a child. Because the United States has enjoyed living standards unknown to other countries, Ameri- cans are successful people. I must try to understand the 'why' of this, so that the 'how to do it' will be assured for all time. Is American success due to toleration and to a democratic government always growing more democratic? ls it our individual liberties? Do competition in school and in business, as well as the right to buy in a relatively free market, make us more enterprising? Other students urge that it is necessary to finish the job, look for proof and don't fall for propaganda, overcome fear by doing the thing you fear, and above all be confident of yourself, treat your fellow-citizens with respect at all times, feel friendship for foreign countries and help other nations in need, improve in ability to express yourself more clearly. Among virtues our students find important are Leadership, Loyalty, Faith and Spirituality, Sense of Humor, Respect for Law, Patience, Tact, Cleanliness, Striving for Beauty, and Humility. I Teacher opinion stresses support of worthwhile causes, helping in com- munity aflfairs, reasonable ambition and self-support, Gite relations with others, a code of morals, and principles to believe in, excellence in the re- quired skills, personal traits that employers want. The school's constant emphasis must be on accuracy and thoroughness, constantly going on to higher levels of performance. To be successful and happy in later life, boys and girls must discipline themselves. To discipline oneself means to learn. Per- haps the essential steps in learning-ellort and drill-cannot be sugar-coated. There is needed much moral courage to stand up and be counted, to espouse the unpopular cause, to iight for what one knows to be good and right and true, regardless of consequences. It is only in a moral community and world that there is security. 'Phe Plot - Classroom 97 Only faithful students can un- mask the six honest serv- ing men, Who, What When, Where, How, and Why.

S. standard of living, which is a measure of our national success. Conning over the income tax forms are future taxpayers, Tom Conley, Ceylon Barclay fseatedj, and Richard Amero. A report, oral or written, must be accurate, clear, concise, and in terestingf' says a freshmen composition book. Kipling's six honest serving-men, What, Why, When, Who, Where, and How, must be put to use regularly. In reading, in studying, in explaining, in note taking, we should call upon all of the honest serving men to help us note the things we ought to know in our reading because such details aid in the problem of reading for comprehension.

Must Be Goal Of School, O VOCABULARY To attain a more active vocabulary is a primary aim of education. Many experts consider the possession of an extensive vocabulary one of the true tests of intelligence. In order to make his stock of words keep pace with his needs, a student must take an active, personal interest in enlarging his vocabulary. A vocabulary tournament is in progress in the upper picture, in which the teacher acts as umpire. L to R, jane Adams, Wayne Lewis, Pauline Collins, Miss Rhodenizer, Louise LaBrecque, Rodney Stanley, and Judy Brown. PRONOUNS AND VERBS Donald Putman is pointing out to Louise Filteau a verb error and explaining that such errors result from a misunderstanding of the principal parts of the verb-a con- fusion of the past tense and the past participle. One must also know the case in order not to make pronoun errors, as one of the corrected sentences indicates. Higher education demands the use of correct language in addition to the knowl- edge of what is correct. 102 X Q Q QS' 'R N N.. x v.

The President of the National Merit Scholarship Corpor- ation, john M. Stalnaker wrote, The competition was keen. The honor you have won gives evidence that you were one of the best in the nation. Our interest in you will continue, and we wish you every success. 115 I wb m P nna:f2f12E2if323??:?1?f2?wQ:- W W 4 -.-' X. aliigsexfegauwffgffsfffffsrssxiisg I QHSSQEYE 'HWWSR - 1 ,: ' .

'Mdalzea TO Livermore Falls High School Graduates Cfaaa o 1956 1 TED POLAND ' NAT MADOW Livermore Shoe Company LIVERIVIO-RE FALLS, MAINE EVERY WORKER A COMPANY PARTNER We, the employees of Livermore Shoe Company, are Partners in Progress with our management. This isn't just a slogan, it is a practice. and every day our teamwork can be seen in action. Company management really went all out to give employees the best of everything. Not satisfied to keep the plant and machinery modern only, management has also given workers numerous advantages. First, the Senate Council and the Profit-Sharing Plan were in- stalled. The Senate Council is formed of employees from every department, and is elected democratically each year by ballot. The Council meets regularly with management to com- pare ideas and to discuss and act upon suggestions. It keeps the employees informed about the profit-sharing plan. Through the Profit-Sharing Plan, the employees share in 301 of the Company profits before taxes. Checks are distributed semi-annually. Livermore Shoe is the only shoe manufacturing plant in Maine offering this plan to its employees. Next the company provided its employees with Blue Cross and Blue Shield Insur- ance, giving 1002, coverage at no cost to the employee. Again the Company is the only shoe manufacturing plant in Maine to offer employees this advantage, which alone does a lot to give workers a feeling of security. Management then encouraged employees to set up their own credit union, which was done. Operated by employees, the credit union is a means of solving financial problems among employees who, at the same time, cultivate the habit of saving regularly. Finally, to show that management thinks of everything, a housing project is being planned now. For a great many workers, this means that what was once a distant dream can become a reality soon. It is hoped that by early summer, the building project will get under way. Imagine! A house built to suit personal needs and from a design of one's own choosing. This will be another great saving to the employees, as the houses will be sold at cost. We, employees of the Livermore Falls Shoe Company, are very proud of our manage- ment and should like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude and appreciation to Mr. Ted Poland and Mr. Nat Madow for their close adherence to the American Way of Life.

'Success is the 'pot of gold' at the end of the rainbow, but is material wealth really the favorable end of a venture? Perhaps, as Lincoln thought, Wealth is a superfluity of the things one does not want, or i'Success is counted sweetest by those who ne'er suc- ceed, as Emily Dickinson said it. The yearbook cameraman has, in the l956 Banner, inter- preted views of the student essayists who analyzed the back- ground of success and found in the community and the family the most potent factors, most potent because first impressions endure a lifetime. The impact of the school in this modern age was also pic- tured by the photographer, whose finished work ranged from scale drawing and shoemaker's bench to the freezing point of water, the oxy-acetylene torch and New Holland hay-baler, a study of food labels, dress patterns, and budget sheets, drill on the timeless fundamentals of spelling, grammar, vocabulary, math, and maps, the use of record player for typing dictation, as well as for French pronunciation, safe range practice and target scoring, CARE contribution and clothing collection for flood sufferers, a cappella singing, boxing, wrestling, Commence- ment panel discussion, a Prom wishing-well, and the adult busi- ness world as seen by students during Career Day. The im- portance of careful preparation of lessons and of home work, because emphasized by young essayists, was well covered in photography. May the two graduates, pictured on our front cover, who are reaching to adjust the world attain success! May the death dealing weapons, already obsolete, which surround them recede soon into the mists of man's primitive past, for Success is every- where for those who have the intelligence to listen and the will to learn. 168 ig? 1 Qx We if W '-Qfirg, Nw-A 95 . xx A X N , .
