Jfaur (EnnirrH Vol. XI May, 1922 No. 1 iCttrrarij THE MERITS OF HIGH SCHOOL. High School spells two words;— progress and privilege. It means prog¬ ress because of the advantages one has in the world with a good High School education. Think of the difference be¬ tween getting forty or fifty dollars a week as an office man, or in some other excel¬ lent position of responsibility, and being a “ditch digger ’ coal heaver, or in some equally unpleasant and unremunerative position Think of the assurance of a steady occupation in preference to the feeling of the ordinary day laborer who is liable to have little or no work, and in times of labor crises often is compelled to see his family face want if not actual starvation. Reason out the difference be¬ tween scantily getting along or laying up something for the inevitable rainy day. The argument is often used that High School means four years of working and earning money forfeited because the training that might be obtained in those four years will not actually help earn FOUR CORNERS one’s bread and butter. There are ten to one arguments and even more against this kind of talk. First, people from the ages of twelve to nineteen are much better off learning how to work than they are out at it, at so immature an age, un¬ less it is exceptionally necessary. These times occur a great deal less often than there are people who keep their child en out of High School with ' that as an ex¬ cuse, As for the years being lost, just read up a bit on the wages of High School graduates as compared to those of the grade schools. The statistics may be readily found, and if you are at all easily convinced, you will be compelled to acknowledge the truth of this state¬ ment. As to their being unnecessary years of schooling, a sensible person would never take his children out of school on that excuse. In the develop¬ ment of a child’s body he must do a thousand things that may seem foolish and unneccessary; nature demands it; much more so in the development of that higher part of his make-up, the mind. Years spent in the creating of good friends among the master minds in sci¬ ence, literature, and history, are years invested. If children of these ages nat¬ urally turn to some form of activity, why not give their energies a chance to be put to the best account? In the second place High School spells privilege, because all the above is nothing more nor less than a privilege. Educa¬ tion is not a mere duty. The government provides the school and everything hut the student ' s personal property to work with. Years ago when every child, de¬ sirous of obtaining an education had to meet all his own expenses, education was most emphatically a privilege; it is none the less now. Some may say, “Do away with the High School; it increases our taxes. ’ There are many things whose value cannot be measured in money, and education is one of these. A student should not have to he urged to go to school; rather than be urged to go, it should jequire urging to get him to stay at home and lose valuable time. You may say that seme of the things taught in High School are unnecessary, wasting time, cou ' d be taught at home, etc., but just name one and I’ll gua.antee to see some good .eason either why the course is given, or why it could not be successfully undertaken at home. Take Mathematics, for example; think of the numberless uses to which it may be put. Take a glance at languages; of what use are they? Latin is the ground¬ work for a number of other languages, to say nothing of the fact that half of our Fnglish words are of Latin origin, either directly or indirectly. French and Spanish are the key to many desirab ' e commercial and social positions. On the whole, languages have a tendency to give people a wider familiarity with other nations, and to broaden their views. No one will doubt the actual money value of a thorough acquaintance with the Fnglish language, and few will call into question the broadening influence of History. No patriotic person wishes to grow up with an incomplete knowledge of his own country and that of his mother count:y. No more does a person wish to be ignorant of the topics of current history that are a part of every History 4 FOUR CORNERS course in High School. Last and not least are the vocational studies and the sciences which give the inventive boy and girl something to do with the hands and mind, and these gain an additional value in the fact that they may be the key that will open the future occupation to many who otherwise might have been common day laborers. My last appeal and it is only the appeal of a very amateur writer, a new Fresh¬ man who has found a great value in High School so far, is this; above all things above all excuses, GO TO HIGH SCHOOL. M. M. H.. ’ 25 . IN THE GLOAMING. Nicotopolus Duflinty and Cleopatra Ham bone were out riding in Nicotopolus’s new car, Henry Jr. They were on the concrete roads that led to the city, so Henry Jr. skiid along very smoothly. Cleopatra was sitting with her head lean¬ ing on Nicotopolus ' s shoulder. They were both very happy, for they expected to be married the next week. Suddenly the car stopped. “Something’s the matter with the glab- erater,” said Mr. Duflinty. “I’ll have to get out and fix it.” He got out and lifted the hood. “I guess the trouble’s with the spark stoppers. It will take quite a little while to fix them.” He fussed around for over an hour, announcing at last that Henry Jr. was O. K. again, so he cranked up. Henry jr. coughed and refused to go. By this time it was nearly dark. Nicotopolus cranked and cranked, but in vain. “Well,” said Nicotopolus. “there surely is something wrong with the transmis- sarv.” He opened his tool box, and took out his wrench. I ' ll fix the thing this time.” he promised. He gave Cleopatra all the matches he had with him. and she lighted them one by one for him. while he worked. But after tinkering on it a halt an hour he told her that the only way to do was to go to the nearest garage, and get some¬ one to tow them home. “Oh dear.” said Cleopatra, “please don ' t go and leave me alone. I ' m afraid in the dark,” “Very well,” answered Nicotopolus. “you may go with me.” They started for the garage about six miles away. But they had not walked more than a mile, when Cleopatra stopped, and refused to go any further. “I’m so tired.” she sobbed, and grabbed Nicotoplus by the coat buttons and buried her face in his necktie. “I don ' t want to go any farther.” “But I don ' t dare to leave you here, alone.” replied Nicotopolus. “there are skunks and squirrels around here.” “Oh, dear! I’ll go with you then, but I’m awfully tired.” So they started off again. They reached the garage about midnight, and aroused a very cross and sleepy man out of his bed. He cranked his truck up and took them back to Henry Jr., bitched a rope onto him and towed him home. Cleopatra was asleep when they ar¬ rived, so Nictopolus took her in his arms, and laid her on the front piazza. When he got home he turned on the FOUR CORNERS 5 light. He stepped to the bureau and glanced into the mirror. There on his necktie was a clear-cut stencil design of Cleopatra’s cheeks, lips, and eye-brows. The next day Cleopatra received a note, which ran as follows: My Darling:— I’m called to the city on business. I will be back Saturday. Please meet me at the church and: In the gloaming, oh my darling. When the lights are diin and low; That your face is powder painted, How am I. sweetheart, to know? Twice a month, 1 have to bundle All the neckties I possess. To the cleaners. Won’t you, darling, Love me more, and powder less? Your own, Nicotopolus. M. H. L., ’22. ROME. Rome was not always a beautiful city; there was a time when she consisted only of wild hills where different savage tribes fought, lived, and died on her primitive bosom, but, as these tribes were made up of human beings, they instinctively pushed forward. They began to build and think intelligently; it was a slow progress, but every generation acquired a little more knowledge. Gradually a city sprang up. very crude at first, but it was a beginning, and everything has to start. They were’ a strong, intelligent, promis¬ ing people, superstititious, but neverthe¬ less intelligent. They soon became fore¬ most of all European nations. These people were very persistent in health training, which demonstrated why it was that they grew to be so supreme, both in strength and intellect; for without health any nation is helpless. In Rome were built the most magnifi¬ cent buildings that were ever constructed within human memory; the beautifully built homes alone are to be marveled at. But her public buildings are beyond our comprehension! So wonderfully were they put together, that to this day, when man is claimed to be so superior, no one understands how they were constructed. The Romans were very intelligent, even brilliant. They gave much thought to their nation, but under all, their heart was in their homes. Had it not been for the influence of the later rulers of Rome, and the degeneration of the race caused by foreign wars, she would, most certain¬ ly, have been a nation of today. But Rome fell, not because of weak minds, but because home life was daily being thought of less and less until finally it vanished. Divorces became common, every day matters; murder was very fre¬ quent; Rome was at her lowest ebb, but had she possessed a capable leader, even then she might have again risen to her former high standing. Her degradation was revolting; her crimes were mon¬ strous; intellect was forgotten ; Rome was lost! Rome left many valuable things to succeeding generations; her language, tho called dead, is very alive, for it is the foundation of many modern languages. Rome left much literature of unending information; her style of government is to this day regarded with admiration, her architecture is a thing of amazement! Rome will never be forgotten; she has 6 FOUR CORNERS established too great a precedent to ever be erased from the records of civilization and progress. R. C. H.. ’22. AS IT OFTEN HAPPENS. The sun sent its long rays through the apple trees sweet with their many blos¬ soms. The shrill of crickets could be heard in the long grass. The girl sitting in the orchard started up as the sun sank down behind the trees in a great bank of clouds. A storm coming up and she so far from home! She dropped her hat into the front seat of the car. standing beside the road and glancing ove her shoulder at the now rapidly approaching mass of storm clouds, tried to start the auto. But, alas! For the old saying that a Ford will start at any time, anywhere, and whenever you want it to. may have applied to a Ford truck or perhaps a Ford touring car. but it failed in the case of the Ford coupe! Nancy glanced in desperation at the oncoming shower, for she was mortally afraid of thunder storms. What could she do? After working on it for ten minutes, she managed to get it started, just as a low muttering of thunder warned her that she had to hurry. She had gone about a mile when the storm broke in all its fury. Great chains of lightning chased each other across the sky. to be followed by wild claps of thunder. The rain poured in torrents, when to her amazement the car stopped short in the road. Out of gas! What a predicament! Through the rain she could see the dim outline of a house. Siic got out of the car and. picking up her skirts, tied for shelter. The house looked deserted; the door hung on one hinge. She pushed it open and stumbled in. As she did so she heard footsteps coming toward her. Turning swiftly, a flash of lightning lighted up the room, showing her the figure of a man coming toward her. At the same instant there came a crash of thunder and a great beam from the roof fell down to the mid¬ dle of the floor. She heard a muffled groan, and knew that it had fallen on him. What was she to do? The rain came in sheets through the hole in the roof, and it was so dark she could hardly distin¬ guish his dim outline. As far as she could see, he was motionless. What if he were dead! She went quickly toward him, and leaning over him, grasped the rafter and lifted it to one side. It was not very heavy, but by the next flash she saw where it had hit him on the forehead, which was rapidly swelling. As he turned his head toward the win¬ dow, she recognized him. Her heart leaped to her throat. The storm had abated somewhat- The thunder rumbled away among the hills, and the sun, through the western window, tinted the distant mountains purple and gold. As the room grew lighter, Nancy saw him more clearly. He was unconscious. But in a short time he opened his eyes and looked up and saw her. “Hello, Nan¬ cy,” a quick, boyish smile lighting up his face, “what’s the trouble?”, as he saw her white face. He put his hand to his head. “Why, what’s happened? By the water FOUR CORNERS 7 on the floor 1 should say we’d had a cyclone.” “We have,” Nancy’s white lips moved for the first time. He got up and walked to the door. Nancy explained how she happened to be there, in a very cool voice. “I don’t see but what we’ll have to walk home, it isn’t very long, tho’ 1 think it will be rather muddy.” This was said in a voice which had lost some of its joyous ring. He turned to see Nancy looking out of the window on the other side of the room. Come, Nancy,” he said softly, “can’t you forget a quarrel? You know I actually have forgotten what we quarreled about.” She turned, her eyes shining. “It does people good to get frightened once in a while, doesn’t it, Walter? I was almost sure you were dead.” Nothing more was said in regard to the quarrel, and they came out across the wet lawn hand in hand toward the sunset. C. E. G., ’22 THE BENEFITS DERIVED FROM GOING TO COLLEGE. There is almost nothing that can be said against a college 1 education, and much that can be said in its favor. It has been proved in many ways that those who get a college education get higher up in the business and social world Make a list of our present day leaders in the business world, and you will find that the greater per cent, of them have a col¬ lege education. Not all of them, to be sure, but those who have not a college education have been self educated. For¬ tunately. it is possible for the greater part of business men of the future to ob¬ tain this kind of an education, but in the lifetime of our past commercial leaders there was no other way, thus making this sort of an education the best to be had. However, now that we have a better sys¬ tem of education, let us make the most of it and go to college. College is not all hard work. Our pres¬ ent-day colleges have work and play com¬ bined. so as to make the work both inter¬ esting and instructive. The athletic sports arc cf g.eat value to the students’ health and also as recreation for the mind. Another value derived from going to college is the meeting with other people. College life fits one to face the world, better prepares one for the rough places in life. It does one good to “rub up against” other people, for it helps to broaden the mind and viewpoints in more than one respect. A common argument against college is the number of years spent there when one might be earning money. Statistics show that those who go to college earn a great deal more during their life-time than those who go to work from the com¬ mon schools. College graduates declare that going to college gives one a certain pleasure that should not be missed. At college one makes friendships that are never for¬ gotten. If you have gone to college, use your influence to help othei s to go and get the most out of life. If you are still in high school, talk to some college graduate about going to college and be convinced as to its benefits. A. E. W., ’ 25 . 8 FOUR CORNERS BENEFITS FROM ATHLETICS. Why shouldn’t a boy or girl be ath¬ letic ? It gives them good training, both in mind and body, making them think and act quickly and accurately. Also, it develops the muscles, and makes them stronger and healthier, for it is much better for them to be in a game of basket¬ ball with plenty of fresh air than for them to spend their evenings in a dance hall or theatre. They go to different schools to compete against students of their own age in va¬ rious sports and see the methods that are used there, and meet others who are in¬ terested in the same things as themselves. Such meeting affords them not only the pleasure of making new friends, but it goes a long way in increasing their own school spirit. Athletics occupy the mind of the stu¬ dent with something different, giving them a rest from their studies in the after¬ noon, on one or two evenings of a week. Altogether, a student is benefited both physically and mentally. A. G. L. f ’ 23 . THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A LIZZIE. Gee! Didn’t 1 think I was smart when I left Mr. Ford’s factory and started for the railroad station. I was first in the line, my twenty-three companions being strung out behind me. I had received my second coat of var¬ nish about a week before and in the glar¬ ing sun of midday I shone very brightly, so I thought. We proceeded to the railroad, where five of my companions and I were loaded into a box ear and the doors being closed, we very soon started for the East. We arrived in Boston in two days and then six men came to the yard one morn¬ ing. and after being unloaded, we were driven away out of the city and onto the straight road. There was about a foot of snow with deep ruts worn through to the asphalt. My driver kept me going fast through the crooked ruts, and 1 felt if we didn’t come soon to better roads, my transmissary would begin to leak oil. After about five hours driving, we crossed a long bridge and 1 saw a sign which read. “You are now entering the City of South Portland ! We were driv¬ en to the garage of the Ford dealer in Po. tland and housed for the night. The next day was Saturday and we were all put on washstands and given a bath, which we very badly needed after our trip from Boston. Then the manager came and looked at us. and one of my companions. Mr. Sedan by name, and 1 . who am a touring car. were placed in the show window over Sunday. During the day many stopped and ad¬ mired us. and I noticed a very short, fat man, who gazed at us a long while. “He’ll be back tomorrow and get me, see if be don’t. They are all sold out but us,” said my companion, Mr. Sedan, late Sunday afternoon. Bright and early Monday our friend of yesterday appeared in front of the win¬ dow, gazed at us a few minutes and then entered the office. Pretty soon the manager and the man entered the sales room and he came FOUR CORNERS 9 straight over to me. The manager lifted my shiny hood and showed the man about my engine. “It ' s a four cylinder, of course they’re better than sixes,” he ar¬ gued. After a good deal of such talking, the man decided to take me, and after the manager had given him some lessons in driving, he left me to my new driver. He got in and sat down a moment, then got out and tried to crank me. 1 didn’t like the looks of him at first and when he began to spin niy crank I kicked him. He swore at me, then he tried it again. He soon started my engine and got in again. He stalled me two or three times and then we were off. Me could steer me fairly well, but had no control on my speed. The lever was half way down the sector and he pulled it the rest of the way down in an effort to slacken my pace. He gave tip in despair and turned his attention to steerin g. We rushed thru the streets at breakneck speed, just clear¬ ing a wagon here, a pedestrian there, and a passing auto somewhere else. A motor¬ cycle cop began to gain on us from be¬ hind. A traffic officer at a crossing tried to stop us, but jumped out of the way as we just cleared the guide-post in the street. Pretty soon the motor-cycle policeman came alongside and ordered us to stop. “I can’t!” shouted my driver. “Shove up your gas.” My driver, becoming confused, shut off my spark lever, which slacked my pace. “The other one!” yelled the motor¬ cyclist. This my driver did right, and pulling up the emergency brake, we came to an abrupt stop. Then, completely, exhausted, he got out and began to mop his forehead. “Was your speeding accidental?” asked the cop. getting out a little book. “You big fool, do you suppose I’d take a ride like that for the fun of it?” “Well, all right. I’ll let you go this time,” replied the policeman. My driver found a buyer on the spot, and I was sold next day to a trucking concern at a great reduction. There I had my nice shiny body taken off and saw three long years of service as a truck. Then one day I was sent to a “used car garage for repairs. My owner, find¬ ing that I was completely worn out, sold me to the proprietor of the garage for junk. I was left in the yard all night and I could not keep from thinking how my old rival, Mr. Sedan, was faring at that very minute. The next morning several men ap¬ peared and began to take me apart. Now my wheels, my axles, and the thousand and one small parts of my en¬ gine are scattered over a huge stack of “used parts.” And that is what becomes of a Poor Lizzie after three or four years of service. I’ve never bothered, I ' ve never kicked, And I ' ve been started By many a trick. S. H. L., ’ 24 . WHO IS A GOOD CITIZEN? We say he is a good citizen, what do we mean? We mean he deals honestly by his fellowmen, that he is in general a 10 FOUR CORNERS help to the community. But we must go further, he should be an example in his home, interested in his town, church and country, even if he is not able to hold any olhce of responsibility or honor. He should read and understand these tilings and be able to make choices regardless of party or creed. There are many papers that deal on both sides of all political questions. That should give him a fair understanding. I et him not deal in prejudice, but in jus¬ tice. not only in politics, but in his busi¬ ness, however humble it may be. studying to make the most of it for himself and for those who are dependent on him. If he lias a family, the school should come in for a share of his interest: watching their development as he should, giving a help¬ ing hand to all within his power; taking an interest in the building up of the com¬ munity and helping every enterprise that would be of help to his community : look¬ ing after the health of himself as the bread-winner by keeping physically and mentally awake. He should be a church member, having a high regard for his fellow men and regarding their rights. He should not be selfish, but remember his countrymen. He should at all times attain his own honestly, nor let ambition be his downfall for the sake of reaching his own ends by dishonest means. We may now go back to the oldest and wisest of books written, and say that he who does not follow this motto: Do unto others as ye would that others do unto you.” is no true citizen. THE AMBITIOUS GUEST. In the sitting-room of a little inn at Crawford Notch, a bright fire burned cheerily in the fireplace. Around the fire in a semicircle, sat the family, one of them rising from time to time to throw more piuecones on the fire to make it blaze more brightly. In a smaller room adjoining, the younger children had been put to bed But out here, around the fire, the father and mother, the old grandmother and the elder children, including the seventeen- year-old daughter, were sitting. Outside the wind came howling down the- side of the mountain, lifting the crusted and icy snow from the drift and hurling it against the sides of the cabin. Suddenly a knock was heard, the door opened, and a young man came in. closing the door behind him quickly. The family in one accord rose to greet their guest. ‘T had intended to push on tonight, he told them, “but after seeing you bright, cheery fireside, and then thinking of the bleak wind and storm outside. 1 tliink I will stay here at your inn to¬ night.” He was cordially welcomed by the father of the family, and after a supper of bear meat, prepared for him by the mother, he sat down by the fire with the members of the family. Getting better acquainted with them, he began to tell them of his ambitions, and of his plans to reach the place in the world for which he longed. “When I die he said. “I want to have made mv own monument, and to have E. B. M.. ’ 22 . FOUR CORNERS 11 done the things which will make the whole world have cause to remember me.” “1,” began the father, “had 1 my life to live again, would like a farm, on which I could start my life anew.” “Ah!” sighed the mother, that would mean that you would not have me with you.” “Mother,” interrupted a voice from the bedroom, Td like to go up to the Flume and gel a drink.” “Even the child has his ambitions,” said the guest.” I have one of my own,” said the old grandmother, confidentially. “I always heard that if any part of a person’s shroud nr ruff was wrong, they’d reach up with their cold, clammy hands and straighten it. Now, 1 wish that when I am gone, you would hold a mirror over my face, so that I may see for myself that everything is all right.” Just then they heard a muffled roar. increasing in volume every moment; it filled the cabin with the noise until they could hardly hear each other speak. “To the shelter! to the shelter!” cried the father; and they all rushed out, the guest following. Appalled, they watched; watched the black darkness behind the cabin sliding down, swifter and swifter. They hurried to one side, out of the path of the giant slide of snow. They watched, and as they did, the slide parted, and, leaving the cabin free, plunged down each side, burying the whole family, with the guest, under its great weight. The next morning dawned clear and bright; the smoke came curling out of the chimney, rising now from a very nearly dead fire. The semicircle of chairs were around the fireplace, the heap of pine cones beside them. M. H. L., ’ 24 . (Reproduced from Hawthorne’s story .) CHARLES M.

We wish to thank again all the firms and per¬ sons who have given us these ads. Friends of our school can likewise give us support by patronizing our advertisers whenever possible. Also we thank the teachers, editors and students for their help in the production of this issue. It is with just pride that we call the attention of the public to the progress of our school this past year. The lunch counter has been continued and has proved its worth by the better health of the students. (Physical Exer¬ cises have also helped to improve this condition.) Everyone knows how many times it has been said a healthy person can apply his mind to superior advantage. And, furthermore, it has been self-sup¬ porting and furnished a nucleus for the purchase of a splendid portable Victrola. This has been used in our physical exer¬ cise drills, also in various classes, and the instruction it offers is surely well worth while. A good number of records, mostly classical music and drama, have been pur¬ chased. Among these are Shakespearian numbers by Sothern and Marlowe, ora¬ tions by Humphrey, violin selections by Kreisler, and other records of great art¬ ists. There has been no large increase in books ot fiction for our library this year. The chief reason why vc do not try to increase our library very materially is because we have not an ample amount of room in our present building to keep them in cases properly. The largest) single edition is a splendid fifteen volume set of Stoddard Lectures which the school has purchased on installment plan. This set contains a great deal of valuable informa¬ tion and real interest, also many pictures dealing with the reading which pertains to many countries and famous cities. The students and teachers both responded well to the monthly payments of these books. Past students from our school are mak¬ ing a fine reputation for our town, espec¬ ially the Misses Small and Baker (Class 1920 ) at Bates, who both have won schol¬ arships, due to their faithful training. Several more students from the 1922 Class are expecting to enter college di¬ rectly from this school. It is true the students who have gone before have done this, but when an institution such as our High School continues to hold this record, one may know that Scarboro is still holding her own.” This year we decided to enter the County Prize Speaking Contest, which was held under the auspices of the Cum¬ berland County Y. M. C. A. Five boys and as many girls were chosen from the student body to compete in a Public Speaking Contest in order to choose one representative to the County contest in Portland. The home contest was hailed u FOUR CORNERS with much enthusiasm among the towns¬ people in general, and we were very g ad to see Ruth Heald win first prize; Amy Will man second, and Helen Libby third. Although we failed to bring home the cup offered at the County Contest in Class B Schools (of less than 250 pupils), we were extremely proud of our repre¬ sentative, who made a remarkable show¬ ing for our school. On May 2. 1022. we send four speak¬ ers. namely: Amy Willman, ’25: Laura Johnson, ' 22; Leonard Emmons. ' 22; and Harold Bennett. ’23. to Cape Elizabeth to compete in a Triangular Speaking Contest with that High School and Old Orchard. A cup is to be offered for the team that makes the best showing, and first and second prizes will be awarded, both to boys and girls. Tlie plan of the exemption list has been continued throughout the year. This truly helps to increase the rank of the students. The Night School this year has been more of a success than last and there has been an increase in attendance. Teachers of the various courses were: Miss Mary F. Robie, Domestic Science; Mrs. Alice Hawes. Home Hygiene (two classes); Miss Frances V. Bryant. English; Rev. Rensel H. Colby, Mechanical Drawing; and Mr. Elwood G. Bessey, principal of the High School, Bookkeeping of Farm Accounts. Two very instructive lectures were en¬ joyed by pupils of the Night School, as well as outside people of the town. One was given by Professor Wilbur from the University of Maine, who lectured on “Poultry Raising,” and the other one was given by Dr. Terry Walter, on “Effective Living.” Our teaching staff has remained the same as it was at the close of school last June. Scarboro, indeed, has reason to be proud of the teachers in their High School. Mrs. Stevens has been with us but a comparatively short time, but she has proved her worth as an efficient teacher, interested in her pupils and ever ready to give her assistance to all who wish it. Mr. Bessey and Miss Bryant have grad¬ uated their third class and every year increases the love and respect of their pupils, proving their loyalty and devo¬ tion to their work for us. Although they have received many flattering offers for better and higher positions, their contin¬ ued work and faithfulness, their influence and encouragement to the pupils, show fidelity and self-sacrifice. Even though it is impossible for teach¬ ers to do their best work with lack of material and insufficient space, we trust that they will continue to stay with the school for many years to come. Laura K. Johnson, Editor. “Oh! What is all the excitement?” cried a lady as she saw a crowd on the corner. “What do you suppose the trouble is?” She looked again and saw the crowd separate into two parts; they seemed to be looking at something; the children were running around and poking their heads in when they got a chance. FOUR CORNERS 15 Now a man has got something and they all gather around him. “I think I will go and sec whatever it can be that is causing so much excitement !” said the inquisitive lady. As she drew near she could hear them saying, “Give me one, quick. I’d give a dollar for one!” and I want two!” While in the other crowd were heard, “Let me see the jokes!” and “1 want to sec the Literary Department!” Then she knew at once that Tiie Four Corners had been printed and was for sale, so she quickly shoved her way thru the crowd and purchased one and started for home. A. G. L., ' 23. Never before has the need of a new High School been so keenly felt. We have only three rooms in which to carry on all our work, and still the citizens ex¬ pect us to keep our school up to an A standard, a thing which we are striving to do. During the opening exercises the students are obliged to sit two in a seat, also at any other time when the student body is called to the main room. Until very recently the school has never fitted for college, but from the class of 1920 there were four who entered college and one from the class of 1921 is at present in Gorham Normal School. All of them have done very satisfactory work. We have only a three-burner oil stove and a very small floor space in which to prepare the hot lunches which are served at noon. In the same room in which the lunch is prepared is also the chemical laboratory, and the sink which is used by the students while preparing the lunch must also be used in cleaning the appa¬ ratus after experiments. Another thing which is very unpleasant is the fact that the Grammar and Primary schools are in the same building and, of course, during the time they are at recess, it is natural that they make more or less justifiable noise, and it is very diffi¬ cult to concentrate our attention on the work while there is a great deal of noise going on around you; this is, plainly, a great disadvantage to the Grammar and Primary schools as well, for we realize that we make a lot of noise in passing, es¬ pecially after school has been dismissed in the afternoon. With only three rooms to carry on the recitations it is necessary that there be a class carried on at the same time in a room where students are trying to pre¬ pare lessons, a thing which is very diffi¬ cult. Every person is, or should be, in¬ terested in the upbuild of his town. One of the most important features of a town is its good educational advantages. No person wishes to reside in a town where the educational advantages are below par. Why not build up the schools and thus build up the town? We cannot afford to have the boys and girls from this town attend other schools and thus grow away from their home town. We need them here to make Scar- boro rank first in educational facilities as well as other advantages. The people regard the expense of it. Of course we realize the cost, but which is more expensive, the erection of a build¬ ing which would meet all requirements of an A High School, or the downfall of the town thru inadequate educational facilities? Let us co-operate and pull together for the good of the future generations and help to make Scarboro a town of which every one may well be proud. V. J. R., ' 22.

So much enthusiasm over cross coun¬ try running was developed in 1920 that about one-half the boys in school went out for this sport at the beginning of the fall term of this school year. Emmons. ’22, was elected captain. The boys trained faithfully for several weeks and a chal¬ lenge was sent to Old Orchard High, who had beaten us by three points in 1920. They accepted the challenge and the race was run at Old Orchard on Nov. 5 over a 2)4 mile course of beach, hills, fields and roads. The following represented Scar- boro High: Emmons, ’22; Pillsburv, ’22; Seavey, ’22 ; Sargent, ’23 ; Peterson, ' 23 ; Sherwood. ’2-1, and Skillings, ’25. The boys from Old Orchard took the lead at first, but were left far behind in climbing a long hill about a third of the way around the course. Sargent took the lead and was never headed, finishing in 14J 2 min¬ utes. The first six to finish were all from Scarboro. and they came in in the follow¬ ing order: Sargent, Pillsbury, Emmons, Peterson, Sherwood and Skillings. The only close finish was between Lewis of Old Orchard and Seavey of Scarboro, the former winning seventh place in a sprint for the line. The first five men to finish from each school counted for points, giv¬ ing Scarboro 15; Old Orchard 49. Scarboro, 1-2- 3- 4- 5—15 Old Orchard, 7-9-10-11-12—19 On the Saturday following this deci¬ sive victory, our team went to Colby Col¬ lege to compete in the State Interschol- astic Cross Country Run. The boys went by auto, stopping off at Bowdoin College and the State Capitol on the way. The race here was over a hard course and in a blinding snowstorm. However, our boys showed the effects of good training, win¬ ning a cup for third place, being beaten by Edward Little High and Maine Cen¬ tral Institute, in that order. Other teams competing were from Leavitt Institute, Skowhegan High, Unity High, Fairfield High and Foxcroft Academy. Pillsbury and Emmons finished in seventh and eighth places, respectively, five of our men were in the first twenty-five to finish and our last man was thirty-fifth out of a field of fifty-four starting. Only two point winners graduate this year and prospects are good for a winning team next fall. Basketball (Boys). About twenty boys went out for bas¬ ket-ball practice in January and after sev¬ eral interesting class games, in which the Seniors were victorious, the following were picked for the first team by Coach Bessey: Capt. Lund, ’22, Mgr. Emmons, ’22, Seavey, ’22, Peterson, ’23, Skillings, ’25, and Plowman, ’ 25 . � Our first game resulted in a defeat for us by Old Orchard High. Scarboro, IS Plowman, rf Seavey 3.

Windham High was scheduled to play us the next week, but failed to show up, and rather than disappoint the crowd as¬ sembled, the Alumni hastily organized a team. The High School won 4S-22 in a very clever passing game. On Feb. 10 we played Catholic High of Portland. At the end of the first pe¬ riod the score was 14-9 in favor of Catho¬ lic High, but Lund and Emmons each shot two long baskets from beyond the center of the floor and our boys kept this lead until the end. winning 31-26.

With the expe ' ince gained this year, they should form a strong nu¬ cleus for a good team next season. Basketiiai.l ( Giri s ). As no players were lost to last year’s team by graduation, this year’s team was made up almost wholly of veteran players. Ruth Heald, ’22, was elected captain for the second season. The following were members of the squad: Capt. Heald, ’22; Urquhart. ’22; Lund, ’23; Merry, ’23; Douglas. ’23; Pillsburv, ’23; Googins. ’24; Paine. ’24; Willman. ’25; Adams. ’25; Sawyer. ’25. and Meserve. ’25. The above practiced two days each week under the very efficient coaching of Miss Alberta Greeley, a player on the 1920-21 Portland High team. Much of the success of the team has been due to her efforts. Sev¬ eral afternoons girls from the Portland High squad have assisted in practice. We were unfortunate in losing every game away from home by close scores, but every home game was won, our most decisive victory being from Gorham High. 17-1. Capt. Heald and Merry, our midget guards, have proven two of the best de¬ fensive players that the school has ever had. Our forwards, Urquhart and Lund, have played well together, both being fine shots.

As this was accomplished by noon, school was excused for the day. 2:1. The Freshman Reception was held at the K. of I Hall. This year the school decided that the Reception would be pub¬ lic, for the parents and friends of the pupils. The special feature of the evening was a Mock Wedding, in which Re Ruth Hcald wedded Miss Clayton Sargent and Mr. Harold Bennett Master Aurelia Wentworth was ring bearer and the wed¬ ding march was played by Mr. Bcssey. Ice cream, cake and lolly pops wore served during the evening, (lames were played and everyone enjoyed a good time. October. -1. School lunch began for fall term. 0. We held our annual hare and hound chase at Scarboro Beach. Three trails were laid from the church at Black Pointi to the beach, where a pleasant afternoon was spent. Our supper, to which we all did justice, owing to our immense appetites, con¬ sisted of hot beans, sandwiches, hot dogs, doughnuts and coffee, and was cooked on a fire built on the rocks. The boys, so hungry they couldn’t help get supper, went for a sail in a lonely rowboat found on the shore, arriving back in time for supper. Sports and games were later enjoyed, after which we started for home, a little tired as the result of a good time. 15. Alumni picnic was held at Odd Fel¬ lows Park. Box lunches were brought and hot beans and cocoa were served there. A ball game was played between the school and Alumni. 1 ' he school won!

The girls snowshoed to the Dunscroft, where a splendid supper was served them, to which they did justice, owing to their excellent appetites. Perhaps it was their appetites, also, which caused Agnes Lund to see northern lights. She, in her ex¬ citement to have Viola see them, stepped on her snowshoe. We’ll say Viola saw northern lights, probably a few stars, too. (i. Town Meeting! Seniors excused at 10.00 A. M. School is dismissed at noon. 10.

Arthur Pillsbury— Sober as a judge.” Tart is hoping to go to North Eastern College or U. of M. We surely hope that he will. Edgar Milliken — “Faint heart ne’er won fair lady.” Of course “Bui” is rather slow, maybe, and bashful, but in History he makes up for all this. He is thinking of attending North Eastern College. Who knows John Lund’s future? “Whistle and she’ll come to you.” Who is the “she”? Whistle and see, John, and maybe Cupid—oh, you know the rest. Leonard Emmons is “Up to the times, clever fellow.” He may go to U. of M. later. We predict a bright future for our silver tongued orator.

It was September in the year of 11117 that the class of 1921 set sail on a long voyage. Nine bright, happy girls and eight spirited boys. Among the things that we discovered on our entrance at Scarboro High School were students langing in height from the demure little Freshmen 4 ft. 10 in. to the dignified Senior boys G ft. 2 in., silk stockings in¬ clusive. We also found people who to our minds acted in a very foolish manner, if not crazily. They would emit growls similar to a dog, talk in poll parrot fash¬ ion. neigh like a horse and sometimes a poor Freshman would be startled by ac¬ tually hearing a cow “moo” in his car. All these things taken together were any¬ thing but satisfying to the Freshman’s peace of mind, but we gradually began to look for the unexpected from the evil- minded, whose one delight is to torture the weaker kind. Of course we discovered good as well as evil, in fact, we Freshmen, especially the boys (I mean, of course, the girls) made quite a hit with some of the upper classmen. We were introduced to good times and socials. We were sometimes fooled into thinking that lemons were really oranges, or that delicious looking fudge was only brown soap, but the ex¬ pression on our faces soon told of the mistake. As we were just getting ac¬ quainted with High School life, one sad thing occurred to cloud our happiness. frnpVry nf 1921 Truly ours has been the history of the forty-nine bottles, for eight of our num¬ ber did not think it possible to continue on the voyage with us, so we were obliged to leave them at the first stopping place. They were: Gladys Douglass, Palmer Peterson, Marcia Meserve and Edwin Tcmm. The other four left to continue their studies at other schools. They were, namely: Eleanor Willis, Annabel Snow, Elva Leavitt and Benjamin Carter. On the second Sea, or Sophomore Sea, we continued with only nine. On our journey, while we were exploring into the heart of Algebra, Latin and Book¬ keeping, we were again diminished in number. Viola Leary and Florence Beck¬ with, for various reasons, had decided to leave us, and this left us with only seven. We were very much interested in Base¬ ball and Basketball, and, as our curiosity was not of a subdued nature, some of us made several expeditions to that myste¬ rious building called the Town Hall. The result of that exploring party was the production of many fine basketball play¬ ers, even if they did take with them as souvenirs a few bruises and cuts. Our work was much broken up that year on account of the influenza and the loss of two teachers, but they were re¬ placed by Mr. Bessey and Miss Bryant, who came fn the nick of time, as under their careful instruction we covered the amount of work that was required of us. At the end of the second year we were seven in number. Our voyage across the Junior Sea was a very smooth one. We were all rid of that compla int known as seasickness, so FOUR CORNERS Sit we were not templed to throw up geom¬ etry or other disagreeable dishes. We had begun to get settled and to enjoy our surroundings. In the winter term of 1920 we were joined by another girl student. Ruth Chandler, making our number eight. Ex¬ amination day came and went and our Junior year was at an end leaving us with six students. We were upon the long looked tor Senior Sea—six students who had with¬ stood seasickness, heavy winds and rising billows for three years. Having reached the age where we can think for ourselves, it has been discovered that four of our number, the two Lary boys. Albert Libby and Ha riel Knight, respectively, are strong supporters of the Republican principles, so do not be aston¬ ished if some dav in the near future you hear that one of these just named is a Republican nominee for President of the United States. It may interest you to know that Albert Wilton Libby, age 17 years, is and is likely to continue to be. the heavy weight of our c ' ass. He weighs just 158 pounds. All of us like to see Albert in good health, but we hope and pray that he will have the good luck to refrain from tipping the scales at 300 pounds, for at present there is a very grave danger that he may do so. The bantam weight of the class is Ag¬ nes Seavey. She weighs 87 pounds, feather brain inclusive. Harriett Edna Knight has the distinc¬ tion of being the thinnest member, but she doesn’t mind it at all. for there is more advantage in being thin than fat. You know that a heavy body moves slow¬ ly. and there is certainly nothing slow about Harriet ' s movements Next conies Leon Lary, who is neither tall nor short, fat nor thin. We know a lot of people who think he’s just right. Probably you are wondering what characteristic lie is noted for. It is one that outshines all of ours. He is our “class baby.” being 16 years and 11 months of age. Perhaps you didn ' t know that Leon, tho’ ve.y quiet, is quite a fusser and holds the broad grin championship. Clarence, last but by no means least, has now reached the height of 5 feet 10 inches. Clarence has one advantage over the rest of us. He doesn’t have to ask for a blessing. All lie lias to do is to reach up and take it. He also has dimples that are the envy of all the girls in school. This year we have all done our best to make the happiest one possible. W ith the help and co-operation of the students and teachers, we have given many socials and a very successful drama, in spite of the Scidlitz powders that wouldn’t fizz and the gun that wouldn ' t bang. You all know how the Lary boys helped bring home the beautiful prize speaking cup which we value so highly, and how they distinguished themselves in responding to toasts at the banquet which celebrated our triple victory. Possibly it was Leon’s subject which made him so enthusiastic. At the same time, we did not forget our studies. This year we have learned so much, and our heads are stored so full of knowledge that it is useless for me to explain how greatly they have increased in dimensions. The saddest event that we must chron¬ icle is the death of our dearly loved class president. Norman Webster Laughton, FOUR CORNERS 35 May 3, 1021. His voyage, thu’ short, is completed, and guided by the Master Mariner, he has already made the harbor. To us who arc left, the High School voyage has been very pleasant. We have been able to procure the passport to each succeeding sea, and now as we have reached our destination on the good ship. Scarboro High School, we look at the broader, more majestic ocean ahead and feel that our experience has fitted us to withstand every storm without fear of disaster. While our High School voyage is at an end. the Voyage of Real Life is here, now at its Commencement and to¬ night as we arc gathered he e together each one in h is heart is picturing to him¬ self his future ten or fifteen years hence. It has been decreed that this responsi¬ bility of obtaining a glance through that mist-like curtain in order to see what lies on the other side should fall on my shoul¬ ders. So, in order that I may properly predict the future of this great and good class, I will first call upon Clio, the Muse of Prophecy. And lo! I am answered, for already her light is beginning to pierce the misty curtain and I am ap¬ proaching a large, beautiful farmhouse. Already a feeling as if things that I see have always been like this steals ove me. On all sides round are wonderful y kept fields and men tending flourishing gar¬ dens. The snow-capped mountains and rolling hills look so unfamiliar that I in¬ quire where I am and receive the answer —“Utah.” Well, I shall expect anything from the original home of Brigham Young. Upon asking who owned this large and prosperous farm I was told that it belonged to none other than Al¬ bert Libby. And there before my very eyes came that gentleman walking towards me all decked out in a white sport suit, checkered waistcoat, lemon- colored spats and horn-rimmed glasses, leisurely smoking a seven-inch cigar and looking as peaceful as if he had never a care in the world. Following Albert was a perfect swarm of chickens of all descrip¬ tions, some light, some dark, some R. I. Reds, and I remembered Albert was always fond of “chickens.” After a few moments ' conversation, during which I took mental note of the change in Albert’s appearance, I could hardly refrain from inquiring the significance of the wedding rings which adorned every finger on both hands and hung in bunches from his watchchain. Thinking to get some in¬ formation, I inquired for his wife. He grinned expansively and asked, “Which one?” I nearly fell over when he recited a list that sounded like a roster of the maids in a ballet chorus, and so taken back was I that I forgot to ask if the Ruth, Gladys, Charlotte, Aurelia, etc., whom he named could be connected with anyone in S. H. S. After he had shown me over the farm and treated me to ap¬ ples 20 inches in circumference, a speci¬ men of his own raising. I bade him good- by and traveled to the nearest city. There I was told that a very interesting case was to be held in about an hour. Also that a young lawyer was to act for the defendant. It was his first case, and a most pecu¬ liar one. It seems that a man had died from eating Charlotte Russe in Child’s restaurant in Boston and the relatives were sueing in behalf of the dead man. 36 FOUR CORNERS Leon Lary, Esq., was the lawyer tor the defense. His arguments, which elicited great applause and won the case, were that anything by the name of Charlotte was bound to be all right, and if a man died after eating it, he was sure to die happy. Leon ended by making the jury believe that if the Charlotte Russe did kill him he was a lucky dog. As Leon sat down, with the perspiration trickling down his forehead in his enthusiasm over his subject. I tried to reach him to shake his hand, but the whole room faded, tiil nothing was left but Leon ' s grin, which slowly changed to a wink and was gone. Next I was instructed to visit the new Grammar School in the same city, and being told that the principal was from Scai boro, I gladly agreed. I was intro¬ duced to a pleasant looking lady weigh¬ ing about 300 pounds. There was some¬ thing natural looking about the fair brown hair, bright eyes and white com¬ plexion. but I couldn’t make that tier of double chins coincide with any mental image of a schoolmate of mine. Soon I was enlightened, for a pert little miss ap¬ proached and said, ‘‘Miss Knight, make George Washington Smith stop spitting on me.” Miss Knight reached for a filing cabinet and pulled out the refractory youngster’s card, which bore her own signature at the bottom. Harriett E. Knight. After the first moments of sur¬ prise. we had a fine time talking over Gorham and went to teaching school, she found it was quite a job to handle boys, so she took Tanlac until she reached di mensions where she could handle three with each hand at the same time. I asked her if she didn’t find it unhandy to walk, but she pointed me out an electric wheel¬ chair. a cozy little electric roadster in which she got around as fast as the Har- ] iett f once knew. Soon after this, one night I went to hear the new governor of Maine, who was to make his first speech on “The Conser¬ vation of Maine ' s Clam Flats. Vs 1 had been away for some time. 1 hadn ' t the least idea who the governor was. and 1 was wholly unprepared to hear the chair¬ man announce that our govc: nor was em¬ inently fitted to discuss this topic as lie had, previous to his election, resided at Black Point for several years to study the question at close range. Out stepped Clarence Lary, the same old friend as of former days. He hadn ' t changed a par¬ ticle, not even to his dimples. His speech, which was vociferously applauded, was delivered in the same masterly style and melodious voice as when he helped Scar- boro High win the prize speaking cup in the old days. This was the speech : Ladies and Gentlemen. I am here to speak in defense of the most helpless ani¬ mal in creation, the clam. Being a crus¬ tacean of the Acephalous order, it pos¬ sesses no head, and, therefore, cannot speak for itself. Dumb animals need our protection. Ladies and Gentlemen, the clam has one excellent quality besides bis taste. He knows when and how to shut up. I shall now emulate his ex¬ ample.” Down he sat. while the building shook with applause. The next day I started for home. As I was strolling through my gateway. I was fee ' ing very content with life in general, and the little sign on the shop at the end of my house, which read. Institution for Homeless Cats and Dogs, Proprietor Miss Agnes Scavev.” seemed like an old friend to me. I felt a change stealing over me and now I realize that I am on the other side of that misty curtain again. The Muse has accomplished her duty and departed, after intrusting me with the fu¬ ture whereabouts and wonderful success of the Class of 1921.
