- A ...E s r o7hEss-TBJIELLRKTLL s is s ......r L ls.. HCT LUNCHES This year, along in the middle of the fall term, hot lunches were started in our high school. 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

Fetween the attrac- tiveness of the birds and flowers, it is doubtful if one would remember to go home, For persons who like to stay at home, the great- est pleasure is derived from reading and handiwork as well as listening to the radio. The program of the latter is so diverse that it can please even the most particular. It also is a never-ending source of infor- mation as to what is going on in this world of ours. These are only a few of the recreations, but there are many more. Why not gc to church Cr spend an evening in the public library? Surely there will be nothing to lose and much to gain. Possibly these are not the best ways of spend- ing one's leisure hours, but there is always a chance for impr vementg If not, what would be the use in doing anything? THE SACO High up in the White Mountains There bubbles a little spring, And down among the rocks, Its running waters sing. It winds along the valleys, ' And the rolling hills entwines, And ever murmurs softly Under the shading pines. It flows acrrss the border Of our own State of Maine, And as it hurries onward, In speed its waters gain. New many miles from the ocean, A beautiful gorge it forms, And its sweeping, foaming waters Splash high in autumn storms. And so from small beginning But stronger grown each day, The dear-loved beautiful Saco Goes singing on its way. L4J,'58 Nothing is so infectious as example. -- Charles Kingsley
