IEE BURMA G PAGE 16 JOHN FAIIEY Louisa MALI.lNSlJN HELEN C. Lone HARCJI,17 F. GATEs It is an ancient policy to learn and benefit from past mistakes and circumstances. Mr. Fahey advocated this very idea in discourses on American history and world events, and emphasized the challenge of the great achievements as well. As sound effects man in the play Dear Ruth, he proved himself more than just a history teacher. Aiding in the eifort to familiarize us with history was Miss Mallinson. To Mrs. Long was given the task of making good citizens out of us through her Civics course. In the comparatively recent study of Problems of Democracy supervised by Mr. Gates. we gained tre- mend-jous knowledge vital to the comprehension of government. May we also acknowledge Mr. Gates' 1nusical ability as ofhcial bugler in the benefit play. Arsenic and Old Lace.

ENE BUREAU? MARION FULLER MAI5EI.INE M. DONOVAN K. PAL'L1NE O'HARA FRANCIS ToP1'1Nc Above the noise of the wagon wheels, the shouting of the leaders, and the murmurings of the general caravan, could be heard at all hours the clacking of the typewriters as the three ladies of the commercial department, Miss Fuller, Miss Donovan and Miss O'Hara, prepared a certain number of us for the busi- ness world. Once in a while it was a shrill Cuckoo we heard. Then we knew it was Miss Fuller rushing along to the head of the train and warning us of her passing, The scrupulous methods of our caravan treasurer, Miss Donovan, made us proud of the organization in which we were incorporatedg for our finances always proved adequate for launching offensive attacks in competitive territory by our representing teams, as well as for having a party now and then around the campfire. While the typewriters were an interesting diversion for some, others enjoyed the scouting expeditions di- rected by biologist. Mr. Topping, which enabled them to witness the actual environment of the lower forms of life. Those scouting parties were indeed a de- lightful furlough from textbooks. On the last lap of our journey Mr. Topping also administered a driver- training course, producing some very excellent hand- lers of the horses as a result. GE

Destined to he Captain of our particular group and a friend to all, she left her home town of Bruns- wick, Maine, to join us. Dealing with the field of foreign relations, she conveyed information concern- ing French language and geography. Stepping into her wagon was like entering France, so realistic were the pictures with which she decorated its interior. How to write a business letter or figure the cost of painting our future home was learned from following the directions given by Mr. Schultz, but more intricate than either of these subjects were the rules of his fa- vorite game, Chess. The hours spent with him over the Chess board were oases in our journey across the land of knowledge. Mr. VVilson's library was also an oasis to usg for, weary from studying, we could relax with a bit of light literature found in a magazine or novel. and rolled out the Welcome mat for a distinguished gentleman by the name of Sir john 'll lrcotte, English teacher and track coach. A very gay, casual atmos- phere enveloped Sanford High because of Sir john's humor. Mr. Turcotte's departure for further study at an Eastern college was a great loss to all. Well along in our journey we threw open the doors 1 PAGE 1
