l l l i 26 THE MARGARETTA ESSAY CONTEST The Iunior and Senior English classes of M. H. S. participated in a contest on an essay on the Constitution of the U. S. A. A number of titles relating to the Constitution were given the students from which they were to choose one to write about. The essay was to consist of at least four typewritten pages and they were to be at least a ten minute reading. Four finalists spoke their essays at the Congregational Vestry on Tuesday, March 6. Rebecca Carroll was awarded First prize. Rebecca also represented M. H. S. at the county contest held at Calais Academy Auditorium on Friday, March 16. LIBRARY Each year our school library increases in value and usefulness to the student body who learn to find in the library an indispensable wealth of material related to the subject matter they study, as well as a wide selection of books to be enjoyed at leisure. Laurence Foster is head librarian as- sisted by the following students who are in charge of the library for one study peri- od a day: Neil Cole, Edith Bryant, Iohn Callahan, Sam Hatt, Patsy Parlin, Darine Schoppee, and Kenneth Morse. Mrs. Sproul is our faculty advisor. Our books are catalogued under the Dewey Decimal System which is so wide- ly used throughout the country, and our rules, drawn up by the staff and advisor, are similar to those one would find in any library, large or small. The students are given instruction in using the card cata- logue, classifying books by the Dewey System, using reference books, and con- ducting themselves properly in a library. This training should be useful not only during their school career but also throughout life. We all agree that our library plays an important part in our school curriculum. SOPHOMORE HOP One of the big social events of the year was the Sophomore Hop held on Friday, March 2, at the Grange Hall. The ex- hilarating music of Diddy Hall's Orches- tra put everyone in a gay and festive mood as he glided over the floor.
