This year the team is losing sever- al of its members: June Gleason, Virginia Hall, Betty Howes and Jean- ette Porter, but the team is eagerly awaiting next season. The girls wish to extend their thanks to their coach Miss Martha Harris and their manager Miss Alyce Joseph. The girls also have field hockey. They were presented with 24 hockey sticks by the American Field Associ- ation. Practice was begun this spring so they will be ready for the games which begin in the fall. The basketball schedule was as fol- lows: N O N O Marshfield 10 45 17 26 Hanover 7 63 24 35 Pembroke 12 27 15 23 W.

Page twenty DINGHY About every month the high school puts out a school paper called the Dinghy . So far it has been very successful under the staff of the fol- lowing: Editor-in-chief Alyce Joseph Assistant Editor Robert Newcomb Business Manager Charlotte Dunbar Sports Editor Eugene Duncan Feature Editor Christian Fenger Reporters: Ralph Burns, Senior Stanford Luce, Junior Willard Osberg, Sophomore Billy Turner, Freshman Mary Osborn, Eighth grade Harriet Lincoln, Seventh grade The Dinghy consists of the school news, jokes, and any special articles written by members of the school. We hope that next year it is even more popular and continues to be successful. BETHANY GLEASON, '40 + + + CAMERA CLUB The camera club under the direc- tion of Mr. Sipple has its meetings after school. The officers of the club are as follows: Donald Burnside, president: Christian Fenger, vice pre- sidentg James MacDonald, secretaryg and Lawrence Newcomb, treasurer. For a future plan the club has in mind the making of a booklet of can- did camera shots which it will sell. The booklet will consist of camera shots taken anywhere in the school or having something to do with the school. The money from these book- lets will be used for additional equip- ment or other necessities for the club. The club seems to be making pro- gress and still has a number of mem- bers. We wish it the best of luck and hope that it continues to be worthwhile and interesting. +++ Miss llurley: Really, Kenyon, your handwriting is terrible. You must learn to write better. Robert Kenyon: Well, if I did, you'd be finding fault with my spell- ing. ALUMNI NEWS ++ A MESSAGE The young people graduating from our schools today enter a world of wonderful progress. We wonder what there is in the future for them. Each must decide for himself. Much depends upon the individual and his attitude toward the world about him. He must be able and ready to attack any problem that might come his way. He must be able to form judgments and make de- cisions, to see the good and need in others and adapt his activities to a changing world. Life is not easy, these changing times and the youth of today must be well intergrated to meet the de- mands of this societv into which he must enter, possibly for the first time, alone. One cannot look for, or expect, ease. No one owes him a living. He must seize it himself from the world at large. Trust not the glow of radio prom- ises. No one can give you ease with- out effort on your part. You must give for others and expect little in re- turn but when you do receive, appre- ciate and enlarge these returns. Have confidence in yourself and others will believe in you and trust in you. You get what you are will- ing to give. One gets out of society what one is willing to put into it. Try any task that comes along, put forward your best effort and do your task well, always looking ahead to improve the thing you are to do, and learn from it. As you deal with others so they will deal with you. No task is too small to do well. Don't forget to pray and ask for strength. Honor your flag and display it whenever you can. Be true to your native land. Stand firm and declare with pride: l am an American.
