L Qciiixbsfx s 1 r 6 OLD ORCHARD BEACH HIGH SCHOOL 2 Old Orchard Beach High is a great school in the 2 making. It represents the fullfillment of the hopes g of both the parents and students of this town. How, 2 a ter years of waiting, the high school students can 2 be educated in a school building worthy of their ad- Z mirotion, especially after having to go to a building g which was not fit to be called by that name. 2 Although it does not have every convenience that 2 other up-to-date high schools have, each year, little 2 by little these things will be added until Old Orchardk Beach High will take its place among the foremost high? schools of the state. 3 Old Orchard Beach High has a staff of teachers 3 of wh ch it can well be proud. Each and every teacheri not only teaches his subject, but teaches it in a i way that makes the student extremely interested in 2 it. For example, I believe that everyone will agree, Q history is taught so interestingly that there is not Q one dull moment and that is saying a lot, for history Q can be terribly Hdryu and uninteresting. 5 Therefore don't let a single person run down 2 your school! Stand up for itl It is certainly 5 worthy of all your support. i -Virgil Wood'4O I I I I I'

g !miEE?gjL4m HALWAYS QQ QLQQLH Four years ago we chose UAlways to Exceln as our class motto. It was, to us then, a challenge, e resolve, to better ourselves so that our every effort might ex- ceed the last. It was something to strive for and attain We thought that we would go far as 2 class with such a motto beckoning us on to better and higher ideals and standards. Now, as we look back upon the past four years, that motto is symbolioal of our conscientious efforts to excel not others but ourselves. We have striven, we have progressed, we have tried in every way to live up to our motto. We are about to graduate and go forth into the world, each his separate way. But although the members of our class may be separated physically, we will be united spiritually and mentally because we will have before us each one the motto WAlways to Exceln. How can we then fail in life with such a challenge ever before us, leading us on? Helen Winsor '39
