WHY HOLD ON TO QT The number on your card identifies your social security account. You will need it whenever you take a job that is covered by the act. You will need it when you file a claim for monthly payments So kee I E it safe. To make doubly sure, take off the lower half, or stub, and put it in some place where you can always find it. If you should lose your card, take or send the stub to the field office and get a duplicate card. Don't get a new number. Make sure you got the same number. One card, one number--for a lifetime! A Summary Because of the present shortage of teachers, the school has been forced to drop its Industrial Art course. This was a real loss and it is hoped that a new teacher may soon be secured. The Home Economic Department gave valuable service to the commu- nity in many ways this year. Last fall several hundred cans of food were processed. During the winter from December to April approximately 2,000 hot lunches were served. The girls also repaired and upholstered the furniture belonging to the Dramatic Department. There have been three teachers this year. When Miss Churchill left to obtain a more lucrative position, in Bridgeton, Miss Bryant was secured from the F.S.N.S. Then last semester we were fortunate to have the ser- vice of Miss Purkis, another F.S.N.S. student.' A new course in Radio Code was added to our curricular in response to government demands. The course was required by all Junior and Senior boys. At the end of the year one section of the class had attained the maximum requirement of twenty words per minute, while others have completed requirements of ten and twelve words per minute. Again, as last year, we have had a physical training program. Under this program both girls and boys have had three three-quarter hour periods per week. Much progress has been made and a large percentage of the students should be eligible for special certificates of award. In response to the request of a number of senior boys, Solid Geometry and trigonometry were added to the courses offered. These were both half-year courses and valuable additions to our school. Several public dances were sponsored by the school in addition to a number of Friday-night socials for students and faculty only. The students of Rangeley High School are very grateful for the patient and self-denying service of our faculty. We realize how fortunate we have been to have the privilege of attaining such a fine school, especially in a town of this size. The editorial staff of the Tattler is grateful to all who have aided in the publishing of this, our twenty- eighth edition. Especial credit is due the Commercial Department, which has done much to aid in this work.

THE FOUR FREEDOMS From the beginning of time, man has always cherished in his heart the ideal of freedom. He has always dream ed and hoped for the time when life would be completely happy and peace- ful. But man has discovered that he must fight for this dream to secure it for himself and his posterity. Never before has man expressed his hopes quite as concisely and clear- ly as when he applied the term NFour Freedomsn to his idealq One instinc- tively knows that in his mind this man is saying HMy Four Freedoms.N But exactly how does he apply them to himself? Quite possibly he might be thinking thus: 'My first wish is the right to express myself as I desire--my free- dom of speech. I do not expect to abuse this privilege by entirely un- warranted criticism, but this is my nation end my life. My right to ex- press the things I feel should be questioned by no one. HI want the right to lift my heart in simple and earnest prayer to God--my freedom of religion. I want to be able to approach God as my conscience dictates. 'For everyone everywhere I would want freedom from want. There would be no little children whose eyes say, I'm hungry and cold and afraid. Let no one be denied clothing, food, and shelter. WLast but equally important, I would like to see a happy peacetime world, one that has freedom from fear. I want no one to wake up at night, terrified, because hundreds of bombers are roaring overhead. I would like all the small nations of the world to live without fear of their larger, more powerful neighbors.N Surely, if men are willing to give up, for the present, their hopes and dreams, and perhaps, for always, their lives, there is no sacrifice that we can make which is too great. We must make the peace after this war a lasting.one!
