THE MAPLE LEAF Editorials NEED FOR AN INTERCOMMUNICATION SYSTEM What is an intercommunication system? This system has one main speaker which is in the office and an individual speaker in each room. By talking in the main speaker it can be heard all through the building. This is a project that will benefit the entire school. Then you might say, L'Why is a system like this needed in our school? just stop and think. Each time the tele- phone rings someone has to run down to the gymnasium or cover the entire building looking for the one who is wanted on the phone. It would save much time and energy. Another way it could be used is at the close of school each day when the notices have to be sent out to all the rooms. When Mr. Sharp gives an oflice girl a long list of notices, she would automatically type them. At this time much disturbance could be saved by such a device, as it would elimi- nate going from room to room to give each teacher a copy of the notices to be read. This system could also be used for re- cordings of special music, ballgames, and speeches. I think it would also make an excellent study hall supervisor. It would be a big improvement in our school and I think we would all enjoy it. Don't you? Emilie Chandler '53 COURTESY IS CONTAGIOUSW Wherever you go, whatever you do, people who are polite and have good man- ners seem to stand out among all others. You need never be afraid to go places or be seen with them because you are afraid that they will embarrass you-they seem to make you feel proud to know someone like them. . We can begin right here in our school to creat: this attitude of politeness by being courteous and friendly to our teachers, janitors, and classmates. Being courteous and friendly toward all those you come in contact with creates a feeling of comfort and good-will. If all people could live up to thes: standards, perhaps the result would mean less wars and misunderstandings between countries and nations. The world would be a much more peaceful place in which to live. Marilyn Shea Editor-in-Chief I-Iave you ever thought how lucky you are to live in a community like Mapleton, in a great country like America? No, I don't suppose you have, but very few of us ever do, so you have nothing to be ashamed of. I never gave it much thought until I had a dream one night. This was an ordinary dream only instead of it taking place in America, I was a Russian citizen. Now there is nothing so strange about dreaming you are in Russia. Only when I awoke, I felt a little shaken. Things I had been taking for granted for so long could be taken away from me over night. just think what it would mean to you if you couldn't read the books you wanted to, or go to the church of your choice. What would happen if you were in constant fear that if you said anything against the govern- ment one of your family might betray you. How would you like to be pulled out of bed in the middle of night because you didn't do your share of work that day? Yes, it could happen right here in our Wonderful America. The very thought of it makes me want to get down on my knees and pray to God that I'll always be allowed to practice my freedom. Marlene DeLucry '5 3
