MAY V. . :g'FJX, iaCJO1i William Hidden -Miss May Viola Estabrook will always be remembered by everyone connected with Lunenburg High School as a person who has been deeply interested in the school and all its activities, and as a person who has been anxious to help membered especially by her greatly'interested in each it in every way possible. She will be re- former pupils as a teacher who was always one of them, and who has kept that inter- yuars since she left Lunenburg High. Many under her now have children attending the est during the twenty-four of the people who studied schoolgu and two, Miss Blanche Lancey and Hiss Willa Harley, are teachers in the Center School. Although Miss Estabrook taught in manv different schools during her career, among them Fitchburg, Randolph, Vt., and Gardner, she spent her happiest years in Lunenburg, her home town, where she nas a teacher of History, French, and English from l899 to 1918. She took part in many of thc activities of the town, especially the Christian Endeavor, the Grange, and the Woman's Club, of which she was a char- ter member. ' - When Miss Estabrook taught in Lunenburg, the high school was not as we know it now. What is now the Center School was thc high school building, and there were only two teachers, instead of the eleven we nowfhave. Yet despite the school's ancefoccurred during her career. In 1905, the Senior Class went accompanied by Rev. A. J. Kempton. many of the townspeople, went to We small size,many events of import- on a trip to Boston and Plymouth, The Class of 1917, encouraged by shington D. C., in their senior year. The High School was granted the right to certify pupils to Worcester Polytechnic Institute, l rgely because of the records of George Gilckccst, ako entered th institute in 1938, and John E. AlIen,fwhw entered in LQLJ. Duvirg hor teaching career here Marshall Pdrk'was'purchastd by the town, and has been of great use to the school since as an athletic field. Five public debates with Townsend High were held, Lunenburg winning four. It was while Miss Estabrook taught here that the forerunner of the present assembly period was instituted in the form of a weekly club period. It was also the custom for the Senior Class to put on an entertainment each year, and this has resulted in the present day Senior Class Play, one of the most important school functions. As a token of its admiration for Miss Estabrook, the Lunenburg Woman's Club presents a yearly prize in her honor to the member of the Junior Class who makes the greatest progress in English. In this way, the Woman's Club rewards her interest and devotion toward the school and its past and present pupils. Now in her eighty-first year, Miss Estabrook expresses apprecia- tion to the nEchou staff for its welcome into Lunenburg High School as it is today. With special admiration for the various progressive activities, sho wishes all--Bon Voyage. ' 7 1

g7r',V- W 'iq' ' -' SENIOIQS AND THE Siifblifgi By Stanley Page In every senior class there are two classes of students: first, those who intend to go to higher institutions of learning, and second, those who will, in all probability, go out and get a job after gradua- tion. Those who are in the first group can help the government more by going to college than joining the armed services, because the govern- ment needs men with college training. Those in the second class have-two alternatives. First they may go into industry or some other work after graduation, or they may join the armed services before graduation and still get their diplomas pro- vided their marks are passing. Some boys in this second group may feel that they can help the government more by getting into some industry that is manufacturing material for the government or by getting a job on some fann. Or they may feel that they may make more money by getting a job. But I think that if they are patriotic they should join the armed services because the services need men desperately. These boys have nothing to lose because they will get their diplomas. Therefore I think the lenid boys should think this over carefully. r fd fd Q g'I-l as I ' 5 fd 3 dl L, Vx.. L 1, JI l-QJ.1xf.-Xue By Martha Harrington Bicycles are presently going to be the only mode of transporta- tion. They, like auto tires, are costing more and more. The youth of America are buying bikes for joy rides, or just plain laziness. Pretty soon the bicycle tires will be as scarce as auto tires, then the work- ing men, as well as the happy-go-lucky youth, will have to walk to his work. Isn't it better to determine who buys the bikes? If they can't get rubber for cars neither will they be able to meet the bike demand. Therefore, I suggest that the youth of America either stop buying new bikes or at least be willing to sell their old ones to people who really need transportation for their families' livelihoods. 55-IOIQTEK SC HOOL HQUK S By Nellie Maki In order to have more time to spend working, the school day should be shortened for the duration of the war. If we started school earlier in the morning, we could get out early in the afternoon. If school started at eight o'clock in the morning and classes ran right through until one o'clock with twenty minutes for lunch, we could get just as long periods every day as we have now. An hour for lunch is just a waste of time, for everyone Cexcept those who go home to lunchl spends his time hanging around. If we got out at one o'clock there would be a long afternoon to do other things---boys could do partetime work on farms and girls could either work at home to help their mothers who are employed in the defense plants or work for other women who are employed. 7 2.
