MILTON PURINGTON in .QULU-1:66 The Senior Class' loss was Uncle Sam's gain when Milton Purington left with the 103rd Infantry of the National Guard for Florida. N Leaving with the local battalion March 17th, after a sendoff by the citizens, he remained in Portland until March 24th, when he entrained for Camp Blanding. Milton was born March 5, 1921, and attended the local schools. By striving industriously during the first part of the year, he completed his high school course in a remark- ably short time and, although training in the South, he will receive his diploma. He was an active participant in school athletics, espe- cially football and basketball, and was the highest scorer in the county tournament held here during the last year. At present Milton is a private but those who are acquainted with him believe that a person with the personal- ity and character which he possesses will go far, and conse- quently they expect a promotion for him soon. The students and faculty of Mechanic Falls High School wish him the best of luck during his training and are impatiently awaiting the happy day when he will return.

4 M. F. H. S. PILOT othcrs see you. If Iohn U attempts to mold himself to 'K Thomas's specifications he will soon find the three Iohns clashing in mortal combat. Some authorities say that it is not what we are that counts, but what other people think we are. This I openly dispute. True, what people think of us is often a determining factor in our struggle for success, but your true self is what you have to contend with during your entire life. For your own benefit, as well as for that of others, try to make yourself as nearly perfect as possible. If you make any changes in your personal peculiarities, they must be made in the early stages of your life as the longer a habit prevails, the greater is the difliculty in breaking it. Profit by advice and your character will slowly take shape under the deft hands of experience. CARLETON C. QUINN '42.
