CATHERINE MYLES SCHOOL NOTES On November 16, 1943, a health meeting was held at the Municipal Building in Rumford. All Junior and Senior girls interested in the Cadet Nurse Corps program were invited to attend. During the last eight weeks of school all boys over seventeen had the opportunity to attend military drill, Mr. Alfred Ferland of the Maine State Guard was their instructor. On Wednesday, April 26th, an assembly was held in the high school auditorium with Captain Levi Durepo as the guest speaker. Captain 'VS 'Q 3... f Durepo had just recently returned from Aus- tralia and had many interesting stories to tell of the people and animals of that region. He also had Kodachrome pictures to show. In the latter part of the year after school in the afternoons the junior and senior classes held dancing school. The instructors were any from those classes who knew how to dance teaching any who wished to learn. The record player furnished the music. During the year many record dances have been held on Friday evenings. Various classes and clubs have used this method to increase their funds. , In the December waste paper collection, we collected one and a half tons of newspaper print: one and one fourth tons of magazinesg and 100 pounds of corrugated paper. Financially we collected over fifty dollars. This was a very good showing because of the fact that we were trying to collect in mid-December. The entire school and those who were in direct charge should be congratulated, A FIVE YEAR HIGH SCHOOL- Mexico High School was changed into a tive year high school on February 4, 1944. The in- novation of changing the 8th grade from the Abbott School was done to better the social and educational standing of the class and the high school as a whole. Mr. Forrest Stowell and Mrs. Jennie Mann are the teachers who came with them. Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. Thompson were also obtained as part time teachers.
