EDITORIALS INTER-CLASS SPORTS Almost all smaller high schools have inter- school sports and tournaments. which give the boys and girls from different schools the chance to learn sportsmanship. This recrea- tion is all right for students who participate in these contests. But what about those who do not get a chance to compete? The smaller schools should have more intra-mural con- tests to give all students an equal chance to compete in extra-curricular activities and to learn the art of sportsmanship. Awards should be given to encourage everyone to participate in several inter-class contests. They need not all be along athletic lines, but could be in the form of debates, dramatics, essay writing, spelling, and such skills as best answer the needs of the par- ticular group. If there were more of these contests, I feel sure that after graduation the students would be better qualified to meet the needs of life. RoBERT SLATER. CORRESPONDENCE COURSES Students in small high schools now have an opportunity to study extra courses not offered in their schools. By Correspondence Courses, students may study such courses as Architecture, Art. Engineering, Electricity, and Radio. The pupil is enrolled by the high school and studies the course for a semester of eighteen weeks under the supervision of a teacher. The student is sent booklets and illustrated pamphlets which he studies, and sends in work at the end of each lesson. At the Correspondence School the work is cor- rected, given a rank, and sent back to the student. The high school handles all the mail that is sent in and received, and may count the course as part of the student's regular curriculum, giving him credit for the course. It is a grand opportunity which no student should overlook. Many schools in Maine have already adapted this program and we hope the stu- dents at Pennell will be able to avail them- selves of this opportunity next year. ViorA Harcu. Eigbt

At least, Polly is work- ing and Billy and Archie are hovering over Elaine, anxiously seeing to it that Elaine doesn't overwork: for Elaine has only to smile sweetly at a man, and he seems to go into a swoon. Pretty, independent Polly just doesn't woo the men. The men all like her. but they just don't love her. Polly and Billy tell their troubles to each other. Polly loves Archie. Dilly loves Elaine. Each decides to copy his rival's technique. It is good plan- ning but it doesn't work. The dismaying result is that Polly presently finds herself to courtly but elderly Senator Smithson, and Billy to spinsterly Lydia. The farcial mishaps that occur as Billy and Polly try to extricate themselves from their predicament; the antics of that awful pest, Gwendolyn: the reminiscing of the love-lorn Miss Lydia; the sarcastic re- marks of Mrs. Gentry: and the flattery of Senator Oliver engaged Miss the would-be ladies’ Smithson, made this play a howling success.
