4 THE TATTLER speaking, debating, socials, and academic work. A school is judged by what it does and how it does it. Let us put Rangeley High at the top. Everyone can do his part in making R. H. S. a better and more 'up and coming' school, by being a loyal sup- porter of its activities: by looking first to its welfare and interest: and by endeavor- ing in every way to make it one that, in after years, he may look back on with pride. 'Pep should appear in the classroom as well as in school activities. The conscien- tiousness manifested there shows up one's school spirit. School is not the place for idleness and good times. Don't put off everything possible till the next day, and then wonder at the end of the year, why the ranks aren't better. If we want anything in this world, we must go halfway. And we must put some pep into it. So if we want a better school we must each do our bit and do it with the right spirit. Let each one ask himself- Am I doing my best by my school? Let us put forth all the pep we have and make Rangeley High School the very best in every way. Be loyal and en- thusiastic supporters and boosters of our Al- ma Mater-dear old R. H. S. Editor-in-Chief C. L. '26 lo WHY A GYMNASIUM Faith, Hope and Love: these three but the greatest of these is Love. This maxim for our spiritual welfare is familiar to everyone. The essentials for physical and mental welfare are also classed in a group of group of three: namely Health, Wealth and Wisdom and it is not too much to say that the greatest of these is Health. What pro- fiteth it a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own health? It has been always assumed that the teachers with the books and equipment of the ordinary school will impart a certain measure of wisdom to pupils under their charge and through the acquiring of this wisdom, pupils will in after life obtain a certain amount ot this world's goods. However, there has been a time, until within the last few years, when health was not considered to be a part of the program of theywell conducted school. Now we are more and more coming to realize the fact that a pupil's health should be a most im- portant consideration in the making of school curricula. Corrective exercises, gym- nastics and athletics ares coming under con- trol ot the regular school instructors. Hence in all modern school structures, we find a room, known as the gymnasium, set apart for this work. No present day archi- tect or builder will plan for a large school building without this special room. Boys and girls of school age need some place as an oulet for their surplus energy 'and activity and if this place can be under the supervision of more mature persons, this excess energy will be directed in more desirable channels than when unsupervised. Young people must play and if no desirable place is provided they will find a place which may not be desirable. In addition to the physical activities car- ried ou, a gymnasium in a school is often provided with a stage and the extra curricu- la. activities of the school may there be con- ductedg such as socials, plays, public speak- ing etc. These activities are now a part ot every good school and if no room is provid- ed in the school building, it often becomes necessary to go to hire a place for this pur- pose and it is not always convenient to do this. Thus it can be seen that the gymnas- ium is an important adjunct to the school from an economic point of view. If we are willing to admit the tact that physical and social activities are a neces- sary part of every well conducted school, then we must admit that a gymnasium is an essential part of the equipment of that school.
