The Pemetic high school band which was organized in late November has ever since been .an enthusiastic adventure. Mr. Long, our conductor, with the efforts of Sim Marshall, Fred Mayo and Harry Bennett, has successfully organized this group. We feel assured that if the' cooperation and steadfast, untiring work of our .students and members will go on, the Pemetic high school'band will be a permanent organ- ization. There have been many handicaps to overcome, namely, first, insufficient know- ledge of music, second, the lack of ac- quaintanceship of different kinds of in- strurnentsg third, the lack of funds to make -the initial start, and the proper meeting place. But with the cooperation of Mr. McLellan, our principal, and Mr. Clark, our superintendent, we have overcome most of the obstacles, and with the com- ing year look forward to a most success- ful 01718. Mr. Long, as conductor, regrets that there are many members of the band who are Seniors and who will leave us at the 'close of this school year. However, he has said' that his acquaintanceship of these Senior members will always be looked back upon as a pleasant memory. He sincerely hopes that those people who have made their initial start in the field of music will endeavor to .strive for higher attainments. We all as members of the band will be proud in days to come to know that one or more in our midst has gone out into the world and made hi.s name in the field of music. After all, just these organizations in sm.all high schools, band, chorus, and such are primarily instituted to give these students an initial appreciation and better technical knowledge of music. May Pemetic high school in future days appropriate, sustain, and encourage some form of musical education for its mem- bers of the student body.

26 PEMETIC EXTRA meek-7 nh Qvunlf Pemetic Edit Weekly News PROVES SUCCESS John Rich, Editor May 1-Southwest Harbor, Maine - weekly school paper, published by the English classes of Pemetic 'high school, Southwest Harbor, has been started this year. Miss Sweeney, our English teacher, founded the Week-End Revolt, and has coached it very ef- ficiently from the first. The staff con- sists of two report- ers from each class, namely, Nettie Beal and Clarence Beal, of the Seniors, Francis Gray and Edward Higgins, of the Juniors, Nellie Walls and Law- rence Berry, of the Sophomores, and Faith Whitmore and Ben Hamblen, of the Freshmen. These reporters have proved to be most conscientious in ferreting out the daily events of the school. Cecile Clement, the art editor, has proved in- valuable to the success of the paper, Aus- tin Gott, sports editor, has contributed greatly towards this cause. Burton Saw- yer and Eleanor Mayo, the feature writers, A v Staff of the Week-End Revolt have added spice and variety by the Masked Critic and literary column. Avis Norwood, Doris Birlem and Ferne Rumill, the mimeographers, have been faithful and ac- curate in their job of printing the paper. November 15 the following representa- tives were selected to attend a journalistic conference at Uni- l versity of Maine: C e c i l e Clement, Francis Gray, John Rich and Lawrence Berry. The know- ledge gained from this conference proved very help- ful to the paper. The morlgive be- hind the paper has been to bring the pupils in closer contact with each other, and to broaden their education. Thnough the paper the townspeople are able to see the progress of the school, become better acquainted with the students, and work with the students for improvements for the school. This activity has been a great success this year, and we look for- ward with anticipation to its being even a greater success next year,
