IN MEMUIQIAM HARRY C. RIDDLE The Pack is too hard on the shoulders, The feet are too slow on the trail, The log that was blazing, hut smoulders And gone is the zest from the tale. The Silver Canoe-and who guesses What Paddle is plied at the stern? It comes in the .silence that blesses Through forest of cedar and fern, It glides to a lake in the nzountains As hlue as the skies that are fair And fed by the purest of fountains, A lake of the woodlands, and there, I'-3 Oh, pathfinder, eragsnian, frontierman, Your cabin is ready for you, For peace is the goal of the steersnian, The bourne of the Silver Canoe.

The TATTLER This fall Mr. Julian P. Thompson was named to replace Mr. Arthur Irish, who was forced to resign because of illness. We are fortunate to be able to have such a man as Mr. Thompson to fill the position. He was graduated from Kingfield High School in 1931 and from Farmington State Normal School in 1933. He received his B. S. Degree in Edu- cation at the University of Maine in 1947, where he took specialized courses to pre- pare himself for superintendency. His experience in education began when he taught for two years in Unorganized Territory for the State Department of Edu- cation. From there he went to Stratton for two years, and then, to Bangor, where he was first a teacher, and later a Build- ing Principal. For the last eight years pre- vious to entering the field of superintend- ing, he was supervising principal of the Abraham Lincoln School in Bangor. TATTLERING At the close of the basketball season, one-act plays are begun, and, at the same time, the Tattler Board is announced. Many of the upper-classmen who are in dramatics are also on the editorial board. Now, no one can do two things at the same time and do both well. Also, theamount of time allotted for assembly and produc- tion of the yearbook is not long enough to allow thorough preparation. It has been suggested that the Tattler Board be named in the Fall. This idea seems to meet with the approval of the teachers who are responsible for certain departments of the book and we are sure that the students would welcome any ex- tra time in which to prepare the T attler. The Tattler Board will be chosen ac- cording to Junior ranks, which will mean that the pupils will work much harder their first few years of high school instead of leaving all their real studying for the last two, especially if they realize that the Tattler Board is chosen early and if they want to work on our yearbook.

Janet discovered that the harmless look- ing grills on the sidewalk created a skirt- raising current of air when the subway passed underneath. Sylvia, late to breakfast as usual, slam- med the door of her room as she sped out. Coming back, she discovered the jarring had turned the night lock. Entry was impossible. 'Tis said that the elevator boys were very accomodating when asked to procure duplicate keys. Janet had more trouble! Thinking Mrs. Ward had her hands full looking after us, Janet took Mr. Ward in tow. Returning from the Planetarium, she discovered, much to her dismay, that Mr. Ward was among the missing. There followed a very long hour of anxiety for Ianet as she rush- ed around in taxis. Of course, Mr. Ward was eventually found. Myron and Leonard report that Lee kept them awake nearly all one night in order to read them Babe Ruth's life his- tory. Lee must have had baseball on his mind that week. He bought a bat in the Big City, and everytime the bus stopped, Lee would jump outside and swing the bat around. We noticed that the filling- Puge Six
