Rangeley High School - Tattler Yearbook (Rangeley, ME)

station attendants and other human beings kept well out of bat-range. The old-folksv were pretty spry that week, too. Rupert should be named Squirtv after all the destruction he left in his wake with that water-pistol. Some poor New Yorker was bombard- ed with a chocolate from the fourth floor of the hotel. Neither Betty, Virginia, nor Rita will say she knows too much about it. Myron must have been just too tired to see. While we were at a movie in Stan- ford, he leaned forward to talk to Eleanor. It took him several minutes to find out that the dark object in front of him wasn,t Elea- nor's head, but Leeis stocking-feet. For more accounts of what happened, fand there was more, believe uslj turn to the literary section. Rita Porter-,49 Sylvia Hunt-'49 STUDENT ACTIVITIES There are quite a few students in Range- ley High School who, for one reason or another, do not participate in the sports events and dramatic productions spon- sored by the school. Those who do not take part in school activities are missing a great deal of the teamwork and educational opportunities that sports and dramatics offer. Perhaps these students have an interest in some project such as photography, drawing, or aviation. Couldnlt time be found to or- ganize clubs for those who were genuinely interested and who would be willing to Page Seven The TATTLER work towards making their club success- ful? If a group finds a person willing to act as their director, they should realize that it would be very unfair to shift the bur- den of organizing the club and keeping it going to the directoris shoulders. In a club, as in anything else, from taking part in an athletic contest to building a nation, teamwork is the corner stone of success. We believe that all students would bene- fit much more from school if each one were to find some activity in which he could play part, however small it might be.

Through the combined efforts of these clubs and with the loyal support of the townspeople, the first snow .carnival of R. H. S. was presented in january. The girls found several ways of earning money for warm-up jackets, which were presented to the school by the club this spring. Many people have commented on the neatness of these jackets and we hope that the girls who will wear them in coming years will enjoy them as much as we have.

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
