Every year, however, the incoming classes have been larger than the graduating ones. Consequently our enrollment has increased accordingly. This fall such a large freshman class enrolled that another classroom and an extra teacher were required in order to retain our standing as a Class A high school. About BO more movable chairs were purchased and installed in the lab- oratory. This suffices for the new recitation room. Although it serves temporarily, the heating, lighting, and acoustic properties are unsatisfactory for permanent use. As our extra teacher, we are fortunate in having Mr, Harry Tyler. He is an alumnus of this high school, a graduate of Gorham Normal School and of the University of Maine. A third change this year was the division of the freshman class into two parts for English, algebra, and civics. More equipment has also been purchased for the physics course. It has been needed for several years. More is also required to keep abreast with scientific progress. The course is much more interesting and in- structive with the proper equipment for experiments. Last year there was some agitation over the building of an addition to the high school, which was to contain another classroom and proper indoor athletic facilities. In the future this change will be more in demand than at present. Now it is comfortably crowded, but several years hence, it will be uncomfortably over- crowded. P

All four faculty members and approximately 70? of the stu- dents gave the plan their enthusiastic support. The first few days only seniors were given the chance to be served. Then, when a system had been established, and committees chosen, all classes were admitted. Girls from the two upper classes prepare and serve the food under the supervision of a faculty mem- ber. They also keep the dining room, an this case the laboratory, in order. Students sign up by placing their names on the blackboard up to a deadline of thirzy minutes before the noon period. In many schools hot lunches are prepared and served by the school cafeteria or domestic science class. As we have neither of these, no plan had been found of serving pupils until this year, Now, however, we have a practicable plan and it looks as if hot lun- ches were here to stay. USE OF LEISURE HOURS Who is there who has no leisure time, at least during some part of the day? Many people think they do not have, but one can find such people gossiping over the telephone at almost any hour of the day, and their evenings are nearly always free. Those who admit that they have much time to spare are always confronted with the question: nWhat shall I do?n There are many answers to that. Une of the most enjoyable ways to spend one's leisure is, I think, the movies. Lately the most popular pictures are those taken from books and most people find these very interesting especially if they have read the story. So, though a few think that moving pictures are a bad influence and tend to make gangsters and other under- world characters cut of young boys, I would suggest on a rainy evening or even on a pleasant one, the movies Next to the movies are the dances which are attended by young and old, Even if you do not dance, why not go to hear the music? After a holiday or a week-end, what gossiper would not like to come home and tell her neighbors about her wonderful trip through the mountains or her sail on one of the Great Lakes? Such trips ought to provide topics for conversation for a time and pleasant memories for life. Again, for nature lovers, the best
