VI III May, 1925 No. 1 iEintnriala DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME Tourist: “What time is it?” Farmer (taking out watch): “Well, Sni it’s quarter to two, standard time; it’s quarter after two, school time; it’s quarter to three, straight daylight saving time; take your choice.” Why can’t the people of one state agree as to where the sun shall be when the clock dial shows a certain hour? Well, it’s just here everybody is obstinate and hates to give up their own way. Daylight saving time is fireside talk, town talk, state talk and legislative talk, in fact, too much talk and too little com¬ mon sense. Whoever invented a change in the time ought to live on a farm, and hang on his own gallows. Since Maine is chiefly an agricultural state, this inter¬ est should be considered first. Another thing against it is the fact that it has died out and become unpopular everywhere else and the conflicts thus brought in hinder travel, mail service, and confuse outsiders. It is true that it may have its virtues. THE FOUR CORNERS 4 There is never a loss but it reaps some small gain. Of course for factory work¬ ers it gives more time for recreation. Vet is it the factory workers who take advan¬ tage of it t Is it not rather some of the Big Bugs who have all the time they need for idleness and sport now ? This time is very inconvenient for the farmer and rural population, for who wants to get up before daylight or who can get up and get much mowing done before sunrise ? All thrifty farmers get out and get their work done early before the heat of the day. Also farmers don’t like to go to supper at six o ' clock with their work done, as it usually is, before supper on a farm, and know that there are to be three more hours of wasted daylight. There are also things that can’t be done on a farm till the dew is off, such as handling beans, and who wants to wait till nine or ten o’clock to go to work. It is also inconvenient for those working in daylight saving time towns, who live in standard time towns. Of course we all have a right to our opin¬ ions but let’s get the right opinions and “let well enough alone. ’ CLUB WORK The year of 1924- has put Scarboro “on the map” as regards club work. We are always glad when we can look back over a year of work well done. The registration in the two girls’ clubs under the leadership of Mrs. Ralph Libbey numbered seventeen, while Mr. Heald, the oldest club leader in the state in point of service, bad thirteen in bis club. All these clubs arc standard clubs, have won their second seals of i.chic omeut, and two have finished their year’s work with one hundred per cent membership. The club meetings have been interesting, regular, and well at¬ tended. Margaret Urquhart and Mary L’illslmrv were selected to represent western Maine in ilie bread-making contest at the Eastern States ' Exposition at Springfield, where they made a fine showing. They have also given their demonstration at various other places. if any prizes were won by our club mem¬ bers at Xortli Scarboro Fair, and when our annual local exhibition was held, each club put on a demonstration. At the county contest two Scarlx ro teams demonstrated, while championships were won by Amy Willman. Walter Sar¬ gent. Walter Nielsen, and Elinor Lary. At the state meet at the University of Maine, the two club leaders, four cham¬ pions, and our bread-making demonstra¬ tors. were in attendance. Amy Willman won second prize in sewing, Walter Sar¬ gent and Walter Nielsen won third prizes in the sweet corn and pig clubs respective¬ ly, and Elinor Lary won the championship in the cooking and housekeeping project. All in all, 1924 has been a year of achievement and we feel sure that few, if any, high schools in the state can equal our successful record. With our excellent club leaders, increased interest, and far heav¬ ier registration in club work than last year, we feel sure that good fortune will attend us. THE FOUR CORNERS 5 DISCOURAGEMENT Discouragement lias been justly called tlie wedge ot‘ Satan. The story is told that once upon a time the Devil had an auction sale on all his implements. A piospcclivc buyer noticed that the price on Discouragement was far greater than on any of the others. He promptly asked why this tool was so expensive, whereupon Satan told him it was his best and most effective tool since lie could wedge into places by it that he could get into by no other means. Of course this is only an allegory. Nev¬ ertheless, it is true that discouragement can do more to tear down and destroy that which is builded than any opposition or difficulty or like hindrance could do in three times the same time, or at all. The reason is this: it is from within; they are from without. An internal enemy is always a more grievous one than an ex¬ ternal enemy. Who does not have his “blue days,” when everything looks dark and gloom} ' and it seems the world was not made for you and that you can make no place for yourself in it? We have all heard of “blue Monday,” a malady peculiar to housekeepers. Who has not made some blunder and then said, “Oh, I think the world would have been better without me. Who would miss me?” and similar things? These and many others are simply nieces and nephews of old Discouragement. Discouragement is a thing to be hated; a thing to flee from, and in case it overtakes one, it is a thing to be faced and fought with pluck, ft should never be allowed to remain behind one, for at the most unwary moment it will spring and overpower its victim. Discouragement is like a net. It is never detected until you arc trapped, then it is too late, ft catches the most unsus¬ pecting first and sometimes captures those who realize its nearness but fail to get its exact latitude and longitude. That person who can eat the bread of adversity and drink the water of affliction, face misunderstanding or dire poverty or a thousand and one other things, and keep in mind throughout it all that every other difficulty has cleared up, and time will erase this one, has won a victory greater than that of any bloody battle. He de¬ serves the honor of a general who can smile and say, “Every cloud has a silver lining.” The sprit of loyalty has been remark¬ ably manifested by the strict attendance of the students. Our average for the fall term was slightly higher than ninety-eight per cent. This is exceptional, since so many live at great distances from the school. The average has also been very high even during the winter mouths, many not having been absent or tardy. There were nine boys and fifteen girls who had maintained this record at the first of .Feb¬ ruary. Much has been said and written of school spirit but when every fact has been presented one truth stands supreme—a spirit of co-operation between the teachers 6 THE FOUR CORNERS and pupils and especially among the pupils themselves, is the essential to every success¬ ful undertaking in school life. When to tins is added a determined perseverance to overcome obstacles,—to succeed in every undertaking, the feeling of good will is in¬ tensified. and every project, whether it be of a scholastic, athletic, or social nature, cannot be other than an unqualified suc¬ cess. The school that has thoroughly grasped the idea that such success is made up of honest, earnest, painstaking and individ¬ ual effort is on the high road to attain its ideals, and its students will reap the bene¬ fits of such spirit, not only during school life, hut in later years as well, when, as individuals, imbued with the same will to conquer all obstacles, they face life’s varied and vexing problems. - The faculty as well as the editorial board wish to express their thanks to the patrons of our advertising section. We have been greatly helped by their ready response and cheerful co-operation and have been enabled to issue a bigger and better paper. We trust that it will be duly appreciated by the student body and all our readers and that they will patronize those whose financial aid has made our pa¬ per possible. WALTER SARGENT Clues l’resl lclit (It, 1) ; Siilniuturliiii, Senior Drama L) ; Club (4) ; County Garden Champion (4) ; Bust ness Manager o£ the Four Counehs (4). “True worth is in being, not seeming. So quiet was Walter dining his Ereshman year that it took us all some time to discover that a line chap was hidden beneath that shy and retiring exterior. Senior year has found him second from the top in rank and possessing a reputation tor knowing lots that lie keeps under his hat. Walter has made good at so many things that his successes are no longer a surprise to us, but one thing that is not gen¬ erally known Is that he is considered an excel¬ lent judge of chickens.” We understand that aiter graduation he is considering an oiler to manage Sprague ' s farm. AMY WILLMAN Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Captain (2) ; Manager (3) ; Prize Speaking (1, 2); Senior Drama i3. . County Sewing Champion ; Assistant Manager of Four Corners (3, 4); Third Honor, Class prophecy. Amy ' s activities have been so many and varied that to chronicle her is a difficult task. She is so full ot pep, energy, and dependability, that we always think of her as a standoy. Amy is equally good on the stage as a cullud Pusson” or a peroxide Flapperdame.” In basketball she has arms like an octopus, and no matter what the size of her opponents, they can’t bowl her over. Junior year Amy annexed the Sew¬ ing Championship for Cumberland county with a very high score. Not content with these ac¬ tivities, she copped third honor handily, and we expect to see her equal or better that record at college. FRED SKILLINGS Class President (1J ; Cross Country (1, 4) ; Track (1) ; Basketball (1, 2, 3. 4) ; Captain of Basket¬ ball (4) ; Captain of Cross Country (4) ; Sen¬ ior Drama (3. 4) ; Prize Speaking (3, 4) ; Editorial Board (4). Freddy’s smooth disposition and sunny coun¬ tenance are as “rare as a day in June.” He should qualify one of these days as a Diplomat to the League of Nations where we know he would pour oil on the troubled waters. Freddy has been in practically every activity to his own credit and the honor of the school. In Cross Country he is among the first; he is an orator of ability, and a basketball game makes him feel at home anywhere. Whatever career he chooses, his genial, goodnatured ways will win him a place. Freddy has just one peculiar¬ ity, his gentle (?) haw-haw he used to use in English History class. MYRTLE HANSbOM Class President 12) ; Treasurer (3, 4) ; Winner of Pour Corners Prize Essay (2) ; Editorial Board (2, 3. 4). Editor-in-Chief (4) Valedictorian. Librarian (4). “Of her so much of good is to be said, That scarce I know where to begin.’’ M yrtle’s motto might well have been that of Peter the Great, tor she has been an ardent disciple of Knowledge ever since her enromneiu as a Freshman. Math, History, Chemistry, trench. Latin. Physics. English, all have fallen prey to Myrtle’s insatiable thirst tor Wisdom. Her scholastic ability needs no other comment than to say she is the highest ranking valedic¬ torian in the history of the school. However, she is not a book worm, but takes the lime to enter into the activities of the school. We are proud that Myrtle is a member o 1925 and predict great things for her in the future. WALTER XIELSEX Basketball (2. 3. 4 ) ; Editorial Board (4): Cross Country (4) ; Agricultural Club (1. 3. 4) , County Pig Champion (4). alter looks down on every one, but don’t ho.d that up against him. He isn’t conceited, even it he is “up in the air all the time. When hn was a Freshman he was of usual Freshman dimensions, but since he took the motto. “There’s always room at the top. he has been living up to it. That also accounts for his tak ing to “raising things;’’ he raised a pig that won for him the county championship, and was one of a team of sis who made the trip to Orono. He is also a star basketball player, a consistent point winner in Cross Lountry. and a fine stu¬ dent. Added to that, he is a fellow we are all glad to number among our friends. HELEN FENDERSON Chtbeague Island High School (1. 2); Senior Drama (4) ; Editorial Board (4). Helen didn ' t start her Freshman year with us but she showed her good judgment by choosing the class of 1925, S. H. S.. in which to graduate. Such an unassuming little body is Helen that one would hardly know she was around. She played the leading part in this year ' s Senior Drama, and gave a most creditable performance. She is a student of fine ability, and tho she believes that “Children should be seen and not heard, she is always there with the knowledge. Helen expects to practice the art of nursing and we know she will succeed. 4r MAURICE PLOWMAN Basketball (1, 2, 3. 4) ; Captain (3) ; Cross Coun¬ try (4); Agricultural Club (4), Editorial Board (4). We are going to miss “Sunny Jim” in more ways than one. In tile thick of a basketball scrimmage, Jim was the boy that could always dig out the ball and start it going in the right direction. In Cross Country he was equally a star performer. The Windham folks had a great joke played on them last fall. When they spied Jim leading the field by about half a mile, they all said, Isn ' t it too bad that Scarboro boy didn ' t know how Car he was supposed to run before he turned back! Jim got the habit of running over the Cross Country trail so Iho.oughly, that he still goes around the course almost every evening. DOROTHY SHAW Senior Drama (4) ; Editorial Board of the Four Corners (4). One would never guess that beneath a very demure exterior, this maiden is a devoted ad¬ herent to co-education, not even caring for vari¬ ety, which is the spice of life. Her chief out door sport is riding in the Flivver a deux . and indoors she haunts the Chem. Laboratory. Her future career will be nursing, so Dorothy de¬ clares, and her toothing voice and caiat, pleas¬ ant ways will make many a sufferer sing. I don ' t want to get well.” MAX EMMONS Prize Speaking (1); Agricultural Club (4); Basketball (3. 4); Manager of Basketball (3. 4) ; Cross Country (4) : Manager (4); Senior Drama (3. 4) , Editorial Board (3. 4) : Pag¬ eant. The Eight (2). Another ath.e ic And dramatic star. Max gets an occasional bump playing basketball, but it took him three weeks to recover from his debut into the limelight in the drama this year. Max is one ol the chap3 that tries every activity and does well in all of them. He is noted for his cheerful disposition, his soft and gentle laugh, and is “Jim Plowman ' s Siamese twin. Fresh man year he developed his muscle by lugging around Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary, which he wore completely out in two terms, and “every where that Emmons went, the book was sure to go.” CLYDE HARMON Basketball (2. 3, 4); Editorial Board (4), Prize Speaking (4) Ever since “Sheik” entered high school, he has been busily engaged in living down the reputation of “Class Baby,” which accounts for his fine physique. Altho of tender years, he has gained fame in several lines. He can shoot a basket so gracefully and do it with such an en gaging grin that even his bitterest opponents love to see him do it. He is a voracious leader of all sorts of literature, swallows information that is to his taste, like an ostrich; he can play Orpheus to a standstill, and still has time for all sorts of social activities.

Stop, Elsie! Oh! No! Well, well, well Well, did you ever! Well, by Heck! Where’s my pocket- book? ' Zat so? Precisely! I’ll say so! PERAMBULATIONS OF A TRAMP I have walked, run, or trotted all the way from San Diego, California, to where I am now having my biography written and picture taken, the former to be put in book form as soon as it is completed, the latter, and also a digest of my life and wan¬ derings, to be put in the newspapers all over the country. Later there is a possi¬ bility of my picture ' s hanging in the Rogue’s Gallery. I am called “Rags” Janies, though my real name is Shepherd James. You see, I was named for my illustrious grandfather. On my way here I passed through many large cities, avoiding those where 1 was ac¬ quainted. and seeking the small, tranquil villages which never wake up for anything less than the Prince of Wales. One of the cities in which I shall be long remembered is Phoenix, Arizona, where I would have been caught and hanged for killing one of the peacocks in the zoo if there had not been a hole in the fence that 1 could slip through. The “cops” were too fat to follow. Wouldn’t you take venge- rnee on one who had scorned your ragged coat and unkempt hair, and when you tried lo m-ikc friends, mocked you in a harsh, jeering tone i Well, that’s what 1 did to the peacock. Xolhiiig much happened in Santa F i, New Mexico. I had the best time there that I had anywhere. The people seemed to appreciate the fact that someone else be¬ sides themselves may be hungry. Guth¬ rie. Oklahoma, wasn’t so bad, but really the Santa F6 citizens were much more human. I saw more of Jefferson City. Missouri, than any other place as I stayed there nearly a week. Many nice sleeping places are to be found there. One night the keeper of the museum very kindly let me stay overnight. My opinion of him changed a lot the next morning when he acted as though he had forgotten me the evening before and kicked me out, in spite of my pleading for some breakfast and to be allowed to remain. I found out after¬ ward that he had forgotten me. I hate to say it, but I guess my breaking one of the cases to get a lunch didn’t improve his feelings. I struck out next for Frankfort, Ken- THE FOUR CORNERS IS tuckv. The name sounded good. I hadn ' t had any for a “dog’s age, ' as some people say. That city was the meanest, stingiest, dirtiest place that ever was conceived. What in the world a person wanted to live there for, 1 can’t see. I ' ve knocked about considerably, but it was too much for even me. .lust when I was making up my mind to go to Staunton, Virginia, I heard of Pocahontas, Virginia. It sounded pretty good to me for two reasons. The first was: I remembered Pocahontas was a pretty girl, maybe there were more like her there, now. The second was because it sounded like a French food. How I ' m fond of French dishes so I thought I’d go there. After I got there, I proclaimed in a solemn tone, after much grave thought, this resolution: -I, Shepherd James, after due delibera¬ tion, here resolve and swear, necer, while in this world, to again make a choice of cities while wandering, by the sentiment which is attached to their names,” so I came directly to Washington, D. C., which I had been trying to reach. As I said before, I will now probably l e put in prison by the Supreme Court, be¬ cause the White House cook caught me s!c ling the turkey for the President’s Thanksgiving Dinner, and I bit him when lie was trying to take it away. It ' s a hard world for presidential dogs like me. If someone would only cut the hair of my coat so I would not look so ragged, uncut and unkempt, I might re¬ form and even get adopted by a rich gentle¬ man, rest my head on the lap of luxury, and be able to indulge my wandering pro¬ pensities in proper style, with my master as my companion! Who knows ? ? ? NIGHT VISITORS “Pa! pa, wake up!” old Mrs. Wither¬ spoon loudly whispered in her husband’s ear, shaking and pulling him vigorously, as she was wont to knead bread. Pa Witherspoon grunted, half opened his eyes, and turned over into a more com¬ fortable position. The shaking continued and lie reluctant¬ ly woke up. “What’s the matter, Lindv ?” he queried in a none too gentle tone, for being roused at such a time and in such darkness was not to his liking. “Burglars downstairs,” she whispered in a frightened voice, “ I heard ’em bang¬ in’ and thumpin ' around just a second ago.” Pa started up with such a jerk that a hot, fiery twinge of paiu shot through His rheumatic shoulder. “Do be quiet and hurry, my weddin’ sil ver ain’t been locked up tonight and that gold spoon Henry had when he was a baby is on the sideboard. I just know they’re al gone,” she wailed. Pa cautiously got out of bed, rubbing his shoulder. He felt for his slippers anc then bad to stop and think where he had left his bathrobe. At last he rememberec he ' d left it on the bedpost. Poor ma was shivering and moaning over her precious silverware. “Lindv,” whispered pa, “where’d I pu that gun after I shot that thieving crov last week ?” “Pa, you ' ll shoot somebody or some E. L., ’26. u THE FOUR CORNERS thing. Land sakes! be you agoing to use that?” ‘‘Yes, thatll ketch all the burgulars; I remember it’s in the hall,” he said, and crept softly to the stairs. Lindy followed, creeping and trembling, picking out the way in the pitchy black darkness. Carefully they started down the stairs, stopping to listen and trying to pierce the darkness; pa clasped the old blunderbuss more tightly as they advanced. Thud! A dull sound reached them from just below. Startled, pa stopped and ina nearly collided with him. He cour¬ ageously grasped the gun, straightened up and walked softly down the last few steps, ma following on wobbly legs and with her heart nearly choking her. ‘‘Whoever yer be. stand still,” pa said, hardly making any audible sound. It was silent as a tomb. The clock ticked loudly. They could hear themselves breathe. Pa carefully adjusted his gun in a better position, again admonished that person to keep his position. He found the table and lighted the lamp on it. He blinked until his eyes became accustomed to the light, then he blinked for all the world like some old owl in astonishment. He and ma were the only ones there! Ma was standing a little way behind him, her nightcap askew, the new bed quilt which she had purchased only last week at the church fair, the precious quilt, was mussed and dumpy looking. On the table was an overturned vase and a very sur¬ prised mouse who first blinked, then darted away. Pa grinned somewhat sheepishly and spoke to the still dazed and much fright¬ ened Lindy. “Ma, guess your silver and gold stud is all right, hut I shouldn’t wonder hut what some food was gone, cheese for instance. Better get hack to bed, you might catch cold even with that quilt on.” Ma turned and retraced her steps, fol¬ lowed by pa with the lamp this time. “Good gracious, pa, did you know that that quilt was my new one ( The sewing circle is going to meet here tomorrow and I was going to laud it over ' em, now it ? s a sight!” poor ma said as soon as she had re¬ covered her speech. “Show it to ' em just the same, get ’em started on burgulars, it ' ll save somel)ody s reputation from being pulled into the mini by those gossips,” pa answered. “Pa, how you do talk, ma said in aston¬ ishment.

A STORY OF A PIECE OF DRIFTWOOD “Ah,” said the basket, “and what story have you to tell me ( It must be pretty good because you look as if you had come a long way.” “And so I have,” said the driftwood, “it is very long and a sorrowful talc, but I will begin at the beginning. “Ever so many years ago, I was a big hemlock tree up in the big forest of Maine. But the life was rather dull there and I often wished I was somewhere else. “But one day in the winter some men THE FOUR CORNERS 15 (‘iimc nnd i ' ll I me down and lots of other trees round us. 1 lav there for sonic time and then I hey floated me down the stream with lots of other logs like myself. They had stripped ns of our limbs and made us look so ridieuIons that I was ashamed to have anyone see us. There were lots of human beings on the hanks watching us. [ had never seen so many people before, as not very many ciiinc to the forest. I wished many times during the long journey that I was hack in the forest even if the life was dull. Ihit at last we came to our journey’s end at a place they called a mill. There I was cut into many strips, the human beings called them boards. As I was now split, I called the other parts of me broth¬ ers and sisters. Well, the most of us I guess one morning were loaded onto some¬ thing which they called a train and borne swiftly through the country till l was un¬ loaded at another mill; here I was shaped, nailed, pounded, smoothed, and last of all, I tainted. During this time I had gone un¬ der lots of names, a tree, log, boards, and now a ship. Well, this ship was very big and I was very proud of myself because I was up above the water and could see everything that went on. “ ' Flie place we started from was New York harbor and we set out for Liverpool, England. The journey going over was pleasant, the weather was fair and I ar¬ rived there safely. But coming back was not so easy. I had gone nearly the whole of mv voyage when a terrible storm came up, the wind blew, and I rocked back and forth. The water rose in immense waves and rolled over me, hut I always came up again. The people on hoard me were ter¬ ribly frightened and so was I. They tried to steer mo straight, but the wind kept blowing mo toward a reef of rocks. I tried to go on mv course, because the rocks looked terribly big and black, but thither the wind drove me. The heavens were black, the wind blew, and shrieked to me to go on the rocks. Even the black rocks seemed to beckon me. At last a huge wave, larger than the others, drove me nearer; the wind helped; I felt myself going, and at once a big shock was felt. The people shrieked, ‘She’s on the rocks!’ and there was wild confusion. “Sometime later, another smaller boat came and took all the people off but the captain, who was to wait until they came hack, but during that time the water came up over me and the poor captain. “I guess his bones and the other parts of the ship arc still back there. I stayed there a long time myself, far down under the blue waters. But at length the water heat me against the rocks until I had got away from the rest and then it washed me away here. Then this lady picked me up and put me in you.” “And in the morning the lady will build the fire with you,” said the basket. “Well, T guess being burned will not be any worse than wliat I have already been through,” said the driftwood with a sigh. C. C. II., ’28. A SCRAP OF BROWN PAPER As I hoarded the train for Boston, I 16 THE FOUR CORNERS noticed bow very crowded it was but finally managed to find a seat with a gentleman who had quite a bit of baggage. He was rather short, dressed in a dark suit and overcoat, with a derbv hat. He wore shell-rimmed goggles and I noticed also a dark moustache. In front of us I couldn ' t help noticing a rather stylish looking- young lady finely dressed in gray traveling clothes, also wearing some fine jewelry. The man beside me was very quiet and meek looking, so 1 didn ' t attempt a con¬ versation. We had not progressed far on our jour¬ ney when a porter came through our car selling magazines. The young lady in front of me bought one and so did I, but my seatmate was deeply engrossed in gaz¬ ing from the window. 1 was soon very much interested in my magazine but it didn ' t hold my interest long so at last I discarded it and began to study the passengers about me. In the roar of the car sat a fine looking, business¬ like man. He wore a gray tweed suit and soft felt hat. Once or twice the young lady turned around and examined him rather closely and also took a sidelong glance at myself, i thought that no doubt she was trying to make a hit somehow. At last, as the stations rolled by she be¬ gan to get uneasy and to gather up her bag¬ gage. Then she took from her pocket- l x k a slip of brown paper. It was writ¬ ing paper and around the edge was a gilt l order. It had a touch of individuality about it which belonged to the maiden. She scribbled on it for awhile and then as we were nearing one of the smaller sta¬ tions near Boston she got off. But as she rose she dropped the piece of brown paper and it landed at my feet. I first thought to pick it up and pass it to her but she was gone too soon so 1 put it in my pocket and thought no more about it. At that moment the nice looking chap behind moved up nearer to a vacant seat just behind me. Somehow I noticed how glum and cross looking my seatmate was growing and thought I would move across the aisle. At last my trip drew to a close and 1 picked up my suitcase and got off. I no¬ ticed the two men on the subway ear hut that didn ' t cause me to wonder any. I got out of the subway and went to a res¬ taurant for supper; then I went to look for a room. I found a good one and then thought 1 would go to the theatre for I al¬ ways enjoy Keith ' s ill Boston on a hor night. The show was good and as soon as it was over I hurried for my rooms hoping to get some sleep as I had some important business to transact on the morrow. As 1 climbed the steps to the hotel I saw the young lady I had noticed on the train sitting in a window on the first floor. But this didn ' t cause me any wonder for about an hour. I went upstairs to my room and was en¬ joying a smoke before retiring when a sharp rap on the door jarred mv peace. “C ome in,” I shouted rather loudjy, as it surprised me. Immediately the knob was turned rather roughly and in walked an officer and the THE FOUR CORNERS 17 nice looking man whom L had met on the train. You are under arrest,” shouted the oNicer. This certainly was a surprise to me. “What for ?” 1 asked. He then explained to me that 1 had in mv possession a string of pearls belonging to a certain wealthy lady of Portland. He told me that 1 was in league with one of Massachusetts’ greatest crooks. Then the young man, or detective as I soon learned, told me that 1 had come to Poston with Mrs. Rose Russell and that we had just stolen a ten thousand dollar string of pearls. He also told how she had com¬ municated to me on the train by means of the brown scrap of paper and told me to come to a certain hotel and meet her there. As they sprang these surprises the true mystery soon revealed itself to me. It seems that the man who was beside me in the seat was the real robber and that the string of pearls were slid into my pocket by him when he saw me pick up the scrap of paper and also when he observed the scrutinizing gaze of the detective behind us. When I went into the restaurant I had dropped the paper and my friend detective picked it up. I soon explained myself and showed the men the right victims. My moral is to be careful whom I sit be¬ side in a crowded train and also not to pick up scraps of brown paper. E. K., ’26. BILLBOARDS The Wheeler household was pleasantly surprised bv the arrival of a letter one morning in dune announcing a visit from an uncle who, although he had not been heard from personally for upwards of fif¬ teen years, was reputed to be very wealthy. Of course this pul the house and inmates thereof in a turmoil of preparation. The card, thanks to luck, arrived a whole week ahead giving them ample time for prepara¬ tion. First, Mrs. Wheeler cleaned house from attic to cellar and Mr. Wheeler spent all his spare time with exterior decorating, while evenings, after eight-year-old John¬ ny was in bed, they pored over etiquette books borrowed from the local library. At last the day arrived and Mr. Wheeler met the Hon. James R. Stuvvesant at the station with great pomp and escorted him home to the “little brown bungalow” about one mile above where the large department store stood, in which he was a dry goods clerk. According to previous plans a trip to the mountains was arranged for the next day and the sun rose bright and glorious, al¬ most as it seemed in a consideration of the gorgeous trip. But of course entertain¬ ing had to begin that afternoon. He was taken to the parlor, which was cozy and homelike. Everyone was dressed in his best and as school had just closed Johnny was sent out to play with strict orders as to his propriety. The first striking event of the day was the sudden bolt of Johnny into the parlor crying, “Oh, mother, I was playing with the other fellers and I climbed up the old billboard across the fence and,—and,—and I—tore—a—great, —big—hole in my—new pants.” 18 THE FOUR CORNERS Sirs. Wheeler, of course, must needs ex¬ cuse herself to repair Johnny and repri¬ mand him for his carelessness in letting out the secret of the billboard across the back yard fence which they had tried to keep the uncle from knowing of, keep¬ ing him in the front of the house till the realization of the long trip began. The next morning they started out bright and early for the mountains and de¬ cided to go through a certain little country village which from childhood had been the pride of that section of the country, in Mr. Wheeler ' s estimation. It was noted for its stately highways lined with waving pine groves and its verdant hills and dales, flashing brooks and neat cottages. It may be added that Mr. Wheeler was an active member of an anti-tobacco club. His Chevrolet sedan, although rather a back number, seemed to be in very good working order that morning. Mr. Wheeler had made many boasts about this little village but for some reason or other had not been there himself for three or four years. To his great disgust and chagrin the valleys and hillsides were covered with billboards advertising Cam¬ els,’’ “Fatimas ' “Chesterfields ’ “Prince Albert,” “Blackstones,” “Havanas,” “cut plugs ’ and the like. The beautiful groves had unsparingly been cut to make room for one-horse garages and the roads were sadly in need of repair, but hopefully he made great promises of the mountain views, especially of the beautiful sunset that could be best seen from a stand on a certain jut or promontory on the farther side of the mountain. At the first glimpse of Sunset- Lodge the hotel on the mountain side, he noticed that it had grown considerably taller in tbe last year and be supposed it had been enlarged on account of an increase in business, but when he got there what should be his surprise but a huge billboard extending upwards from the roof reading, “buy a Ford ’ in flaring, gigantic letters plainly visible a quarter of a mile, lie thought to himself “Good Lord, let ' s think of buying a Lizzie, her cousin is all I can put up with. I wonder what the next bill¬ board will portray.” They soon found out for as the sun was swiftly coursing westward, they hastened to the well-known promontory immediate¬ ly. The sky was an azure blue except a few pink and golden tinted clouds in the west. But, lo and behold, right between the sky line and the promontory loomed up a vaunty looking billboard and worst of all it was advertising Edison Mazda Elec¬ tric Light Bulbs, with the usual, “The sun is its only rival,” right underneath. In almost a rage he turned his car toward the hotel where they were to spend the night. For supper they were served with Swift ' s cold boiled shoulder which they had seen advertised on the way, and also for break¬ fast with famous George Washington cof¬ fee, advertised all the way up with the usual trade phrase, “Measure the cost by the cup not by the price of the package.” He could scarcely stomach either of them for he was continually mourning as to his uncle’s opinion of his home town and so much depended on his rich uncle’s first impressions. THE FOUR CORNERS 19 Bright and early they started out for home, but lie was practically dazed by vis¬ ions of billboards by day and phantoms of billboards by night. So, as they were roll ing along lightly over the macadamized road, something happened; nobody knew what, and presently they found themselves in the middle of a large field and stopped only when Chevy hits her radiator and headlights against a huge billboard. A little glass was broken, flying in all di¬ rections, a little of it flew into their faces, and a little blood showed itself; a few little dents in the car also appeared, but “outside of that, everything was all right.’ So when they got settled again and recov¬ ered from the shock they began to look around, investigating ‘‘cause and effect,” when they chanced to notice the advertise¬ ment on the billboard. It insinuatingly pointed out the value of “Non-skid tires,’ almost as if to say, “I told you so.” Well, nothing in particular happened from then on, unless it might be mentioned that the little car made forty miles an hour due to the driver’s eagerness to get home to his parlor away from billboards. Strange to say what should greet their eyes early that afternoon, but a party of work¬ men working on a slight appearing struc¬ ture right across the street from their house, directly facing his favorite bay win¬ dow. It was a billboard in the making. He hastily resolved to sell and go to the wild west, but owing to his great love of home the resolution was formed only on the “spur of the moment,” and he failed in the execution. In the course of the conversation a few days later it was dropped from Mr. Stuy- vesant’s lips that for twenty years he had been engaged in the highway advertising business and that that was when lie made his fortune. Of course he had been alto¬ gether ignorant of his nephew’s frets and fears, and as a result, the young man ' s mind was relieved of a considerable weight. Oil the third day the billboard, that was being built on their return, was finished and the advertisement was that of the beau¬ tiful mountain trail, sightseeing, hotel con¬ veniences, etc., of the trip experienced but just four days ago. What an eyesore! What a panorama for a parlor bay win¬ dow! What memories! Of course everything came out a great deal better than poor Mr. Annand J. Wheeler, clerk of the dry goods depart¬ ment of T. R. Smith Jr.’s store, could have wished, and ill . Stuyvesant went home with a much better impression of Verdant- villc than the Wheelers could have ex¬ pected and needless to say he enjoyed his visit extremely well and when he returned, he made out his will to his nephew and family. But after all that experience had left its mark ; that bay window view was a constant eyestrain. The next spring, af¬ ter a very busy political time on tlic part of Mr. Wheeler, when voting day came, an act for the abolishment of all billtoards was put before the people in the form of a referendum. T hen passed the day, in Vordantville, of unsightly billboards. M. M. H., ’25. 20 THE FOUR CORNERS THE CROSS WORD PUZZLE HABIT As this subject on which I am going to write is a very common practice, I am not going into technical details. First, as one steps onto the cars, he is met with a volley of words such as, ‘‘Give me a four-letter word meaning ambush,” or a three-letter word for affirmative,” and people are chewing the ends of their pen¬ cils to shavings, trying to think of the right words, and if the puzzles cannot be solved, there are many cross words, only they don’t relate to puzzles. The school-boy or girl carrying any books, such as a geography, a science book or dic¬ tionary, is immediately assailed with ques¬ tions, and is made the walking dictionary of the crowd. As you pick up the paper and open it, there are advertisements of famous cross-word puzzle dictionaries con¬ taining most modern and archaic words with a complete glossary of other terms. Then on the next page is an article telling how a man goes crazy over cross-word and vertical lines. The next two pages arc missing and as you go in search of them, von see the family crowded around a small table pushing and shoving one another. You elbow your way into the bunch to see what the excitement is and you find, much to your disgust, that the missing paper is in the center, covered with vertical and horizontal lines and pencil marks. You now determine to put a stop to this cross¬ word foolishness and you go out and cancel your daily paper. On your way home you see a paper which has no cross-word puz¬ zle. You rush to that office and secure a copy, and. joy of joys, it contains no verti¬ cal and horizontal lines with blank spaces. You become so enraptured over this old style newspaper that you sign up to take that paper for ten years. You go home satisfied and get a good night ' s sleep. As you pick up that morning paper with a thrill you read in startling letters on the front page. “This paper will carry from now on a special cross-word section! You faint. 1. M.. ' 27. THE RABBIT ' S EARS Did you know that rabbits at one time bad small short ears and that on account of something they did they were made to grow long ? I will tell you about them as the story was told to me. One day while Mr. Rabbit was hopping through the woods searching for food, he spied two elves in the distance whispering together very earnestly. Mr. Rabbit slipped behind a tree, twinkled his little pink nose and strained his ears to catch a word or two of what they were saving. They seemed rather nervous and kept g ' ancing in all directions. Not being able to bear what they were saying, he crept stealthily toward them, dodging behind each tree. At last he was near enough to hear their whispers. Mr. Rabbit twinkled his little pink nose again and looked very wise. After a short time the two elves put their fingers to their lips and parted. Then Mr. Rabbit went away also. THE FOUR CORNERS 21 Now, as you know, elves are very mis¬ chievous, so it is no wonder that rhe next day when .Mr. Bee found all his honey stolen he blamed it onto the elves. Bur there wore so many, many elves, how could he toll which ones were at fault? He asked a number of the animals, but none seemed to know who had done it. Then -Mr. Bee said he would give a whole comb of honey to know who stole it. Mr. Rabbit heard of his offer and rushed to tell him who the two elves were who had committed the theft. Mr. Bee thanked him and gave him the honey as he had promised. The next day Mr. Bee stung the two elves who bad stolen his honey, and told t hem not to try it again. The poor little elves were in a sad plight, indeed. Their faces were swollen with bumps. As you may imagine, they were very angry and desired to know who told on them. When they found out about a week later, they planned to punish Mr. Rabbit. So one day when they came across the queen of the fairies fast asleep, with her magic wand beside her, they took her wand and ran away. This wand had the power of changing people or animals in whatever way one wished. The elves crept through the woods, carrying the wand with them. All at once they saw Mr. Rabbit behind a tree, his head on one side listening to two wood¬ chucks on the other side of the tree. The elves crept close to him and touched his cars with the wand and said, “After tliis you shall always have big cars so that you may hear better.” Mr. Babbit felt bis cars growing big and heard the elves and woodchucks laughing at him. He crept home through the woods, very much ashamed of himself. It is needless to say he never was caught listening again. Tina McKinney, j 2G. THE RESCUE OF PIERRE Pierre Dnrmand was a little blind boy who lived on the mountain side with his two grandparents, Pierre Durmand and his wife. Little Pierre lost his father in the great war of 3914, and soon after his mother followed her husband. So small Pierre lived with his father’s people. Grandpa and grandma were kind to their blind little grandson, but sometimes Pierre would get very lonesome, and when he did, he and Comrade would go off to¬ gether. In the summer Pierre and his grandpa would take the sheep out on the mountain side to graze. Little Pierre knew his way around very well and wher¬ ever he went his dog Comrade went with him. In the many walks that these two took, Pierre would walk with his hand on C omrade’s back. If they came to a hole or a tree Comrade always warned Pierre by stopping or going around it. One day Pierre’s grandpa was taken sick, and after two or three days he grew worse. Pierre’s grandma was a cripple so she could not go to their nearest neighbor, who lived two miles away, and get any medicine for the sick man. Pierre and 22 THE FOUR CORNERS 1)is grandma tried to think of some way, but there seemed no way out of it. So. finally, Pierre told his grandma not to worry because he’d go. At once his grand¬ ma said, “No ' Of course she wouldn ' t let him go, a little blind boy like him. it wouldn’t he safe because there were too many hills. Also Comrade had broken his leg so lie couldn ' t go along. But finally, after a long spell of teasing, Pierre won his grandma over and she said he could go. Before leaving, Pierre went and said good-bye to Comrade, because this was the first time that Pierre had ever gone any¬ where without him. Pierre started out and by his grandma ' s directions he found the sheep path, which was beside the road. Then he said good¬ bye and started out alone. The path was (juite narrow, so he had no trouble in keep¬ ing in it, although it took him quite a while till he came ro the end of it. At the end of the path there was a break in the woods. Now, ’ thought Pierre, “I can keep on and the little wind that comes can guard me. ’ The wind blew across the open space in the woods and across Pierre ' s face. While he was walking here, he tried to think of some way or some thing that would help guard him after he came to his neighbor ' s woods. Just before he came to them, he remem¬ bered that there was a fence along the side of the road, so when he got to the fence, he walked along beside it and dragged his cane along the top. Finally he came to the gate and after feeling around he finally found the steps. He knocked at the door, but nobody came, he knocked again, still nobody came. Could it be possible that after his long walk that nolwdy was home ? Wearily he turned and started to find his way hack to the road, then he thought that perhaps they had left the door un¬ locked. He knew that they wouldn ' t care if he went in and got the medicine. He found his way hack to the door again, it was locked, but Pierre did not give up hope, he found his way back to the path, then lie went and tried the side door, ibis one was unlocked. He went in and as he entered the door he put his hand on the table to steady him¬ self. as he did his hand hit a bottle. He picked it up and he knew bv the odor that it was the kind his grandpa used. He found his way to the road again and started home, picking his way out the way he had come. But when ho came to the open space it started to snow and the wind c.nnc ill all directions, and he lost his way. When it started to snow Pierre ' s grand¬ ma went to the door and called for Pierre, but the wind blew so hard that her small voice was lost. Comrade heard her call for Pierre and he knew that something must have hap petted to him to keep him so long. He tried! to step on his paw, but he couldn’t. He tried and tried, blit it hurt him worse each time. Finally, lie started out on three legs. He was tired after he had gone away, so he lay down to rest. Suddenly he heard a noise, he listened, then he knew it was Pierre crying. He started with a hound, and far, far ahead he saw his pal trying to find his way home. No words can express the happiness of Pierre and Comrade when they met. Grandma stood at the door again and called and called. She was turning away when she heard a noise; she looked and she saw coming into the yard her dear little grandson, with one hand on Comrade’s back, and the other was gripping the Ixittle of medicine that would save her husband’s life. D. R. S., ’25. ? LET ICS CROSS COUNTRY Cross country was a very popular sport in Scar boro High School in the falls of 1020 and 11)21, but due to the fact, that the State Interscholastic Run at. Colby College was discontinued during the next two years we had no teams in 1022 and 11)23. At the beginning of the fall term we learned that, this meet was to lx held again at Waterville on November 1. A meeting of the Athletic Association was called and Skillings, ' 25, the only letter man in cross coun try in school, was elected captain. About fifteen boys answered the first call for candidates, including Skillings, ' 25, Plowman, ' 25, Harmon, ’25, Nielsen, ' 25, Km moils, ’25, Woodward, ’27, Ward, ’27, ilarmon, ’27, Winship, ’27, Lair a bee, ’27, Alillikcn, ’27, Scamman, ’28, and T. Wood¬ ward, ’28. The team practiced faithfully during the fall term. Ala linger Emmons arranged for a dual run with Windham High School about a week before the State Aleut. Just before this run, JIarmon, one of our most promising runners, was taken ill with scarlet fever and our team was con¬ siderably weakened by his absence. We went to Windham on a Tuesday afternoon, October 28, accompanied by a large crowd of rooters. After going over their course in autos we defeated them by a score of 20 to 20. The course was much harder than out home course, as it consist¬ ed of 2 ? { miles of nothing hut hills. Plow¬ man, our star runner, took the lead at the start and was never headed, finishing about mile ahead of the field in fifteen minutes and two seconds, breaking the record for the course. The runners finished in the following positions: Plowman, S. IT. S.; Cook. W. II. S.; Skillings, S. H. S.; S trout, W. II. S.; AlcPhee, W. II. S.: Emmons, S. II. S.; Nielsen, S. II. S.; Hall, W. IT. S.; Scamman, S. II. S.; Mee¬ han, W. If. S.; Eastup, W. II. S.; Win- ship, S. IT. S. The score was: Scarboro, 1-3-6-7-9 26 Windham. 2-4-5-8 10 29 The following Friday we went to Water- ville by auto, where we took part in the State Meet on Saturday. As Mr. Bcssey, our coach, was in Bangor at the Teachers Convention, he secured Air. Emile Janelle to accompany us and we owe him many thanks for his kindness to us, not only on this occasion, but on many others. We were royally entertained at one of the col¬ lege fraternities. We were not as success¬ ful in this meet as we could have wished, although Plowman finished in eighth, place and our team in seventh place, beating out Coburn Classical Institute for this posi¬ tion. However, wc found consolation in our defeat as we were the smallest school represented. As this was the last run which we were to participate in, we now turned our attention to basketball.

During most of this time Plowman has been high scorer of the team and his eagle eye for the basket ami his knack of “digging out” the hull from scrimmage has made him a very valuable asset to the team. Skillings has played a roving guard’s position and few have succeeded in breaking through his defense. Nielsen’s great height has enabled him nearly always to “get the jump” on bis opponent and also to score many baskets from beneath the basket. lie will be sorely missed next season. Manager Emmons played bis first year as a regular this season and has proven a veritable stonewall on defense in his posi¬ tion as stationary guard. “Zeke” Harmon, our 175-pound for¬ ward, although the youngest member of the team, lias been a tower of strength on both the olfense and the defense and has always played a clean, hard game.

S. girls dur¬ ing the past season. This is shown by the large number who have attended practice during the season. The following girls have been members of the squad: A. Willmau, ' 25, E. Lary, ? 2G, T. Afc- Kinney, 26, IT Olesen, ’28, A. Went¬ worth, ’26, C. Higgins, ’2S, K. Alilquist, ’27, M. Urquhart, ’26, G. Soule, ’27, AT. Pillsbury, J 2G, II. Bowlev, ’26, E. Bowlev, 3 2S, A. Nielsen, 3 27, E. Knight, ’2G, and E. Olesen, ’26. Airs. Boyle has proved a very faithful coach to us. She has been with us at every game and has certainly been tireless in conducting practice sessions. The Juniors have a whole team in their class and several exciting games have been played between them and the rest of the school. They have not yet been defeated. While we won only three games ont of nine, yet all of our games have been close and we have shown much greater scoring power than last year. The scores and games played are as fol¬ lows : Scarboro, 17 Alumnae 4 Scarboro, 16 Kennebunk, 17 Scarboro, 23 Kennebunkport, 12 Scarboro, 9 Gorham, 25 Scarboro, 9 Kennebunkport. 14 Scarboro. 13 Gorham, 16 Scarboro, 14 Waterboro, 20 Scarboro. 14 Kennebunk, IS Scarboro. 22 Waterboro, 14 This year Ten a McKinney was captain and Ada Wentworth manager. We have just elected new officers, who are Ten a McKinney, captain, and Elinor Larv. manager. There are enough “subs” who have come out for basketball to make up a team of their own, so we have the opportunity for good practice games. Emma Olesen has played as “sub in most every game and we certainly value her very highly, as she is quick and sure. Amy Willmau, ' 25, and Elinor Lary, ’2G, have proved an expert pair of guards. They have caused our opponents no small amount of anxiety and not without good cause, as they are certainly not the kind that are easily brushed out of the way. Another good pair on our team are our forwards, Tenn McKinney, ’2G, and Dagna Olesen, 3 28. They are small, hut quicker than lightning. Tena is famous for her overhead shots and Dagna, our Freshman “find,” is an expert “shot” and clever in “getting free.” Together they play a swift, clean-cut, passing game. 28 THE FOUR CORNERS Ada Wentworth. ’26, our side center, is little, but oh, my! Good things are done up in small packages. She is always at the right spot at the right time and a trifle hard to guard because “now you see her, and then you don’t.” We will miss Amy very much next year. She has played on the team every year during her high school course, serving one year as captain and one year as manager. However, no other member of the squad will be lost, and with six “letter-men hack we are anticipating a more successful season next year.

Jan. 9.—“Reviewing the trip to Orono.” As our two club leaders, four champions and two bread-making demonstrators went to Orono for the state meet they thought they ' d call to the attention of the rest that Scarboro was “on the map.” The story is told of the hilarious joy of the club mem¬ bers and other passengers, as well as when Sargent ecstatically discovered the town of Caramel (Carmel) on the trip down. Gleeful shouts were elicited at the state meet, when Scarboro staged as their stunt, a mock poultry judging demonstration, when state club leaders and others were substituted for the birds usually judged at such contests. As a poultry judge Sargent certainly is the best ever. We learned that Nielsen for pig and Sargent for corn won third prizes. Amy Willman earned second prize for sewing, while Elinor Lary was awarded the state championship in cooking and housekeeping. Jan. 20.—Our boys’ first defeat for a year and ihe year. We must admit that North Berwick plays a good game. Jan. 22.—Andy Gump and Spark Plug met today. As Barney Google won the Country Gentleman drive the other two teams are getting ready an entertainment called the Athletic Fun Fest. Our drive netted the Athletic Association nearly thirty-seven dollars. Jan. 2(j.—The Athletic Fun Fcst was held today. Many new games and stunts were performed, which caused much merri¬ ment.
