THE FOUR CORNERS 7 schools they have performed many needed repairs, such as rcshingling the roof, etc. In the high school they have sound¬ proofed several of the rooms. They have also painted some rooms that have not been previously painted and have also repainted other rooms. They have done the exterior painting on the high school and have graded the south and west lawns. The money that they were able to pro¬ cure for use on the roads through the 0. W. A. has been apportioned among the three districts in the town. All this has not only made it possible to accomplish the needed repairs, but it has also put many people to work. A mural scene depicting Dunstan as a ship building center is being painted by Otho Baker, ' 18, for the back wall in the main room of the high school. SETTING AN EXAMPLE FOR THE FRESHMEN One of the chief duties and privileges of the Senior is setting a good example for the Freshmen. Although we do not realize it sometimes, the Freshmen look up to us Seniors as examples of perfect pupils. Imagine the amazement of a somewhat bewildered Freshman when he sees a “dig¬ nified” Senior scale over the hack of a seat, making a perfect landing, but nevertheless lowering his “dignity.” Of course, when a Senior puts a tack in someone’s seat he means no harm, but this act is not a very constructive lesson for anyone who is watching every movement for instructions. Another habit which has become very prev¬ alent in school this year is the habit of chewing gum. Although there is nothing absolutely wrong in this practice, still it is frowned upon by good society and does lower the dignity of the school. If one were to judge by actions, it would some¬ times be hard to distinguish the Seniors from the Freshmen as they emerge from the classroom. These things are done thoughtlessly, but if we realize how much we really do in¬ fluence underclassmen, we would think twice before doing many of the things which we do. There is the saying, “When you are in Rome do as the Romans do.” In reality people follow this rule much more than we realize. We must remember that our ex¬ ample may determine the high or low standard of the school in future years. AN APPRECIATION The sincere thanks of the Editorial Board of the Four Corners and the stu¬ dent body of Scarboro High is extended to our advertisers. Over two hundred people have purchased advertising space in our book this year. How, readers of the Four Corners, don’t forget to read the adver¬ tising section just as thoroughly as you do the other departments, and after you have seen just who our loyal supporters are, PLEASE PATRONIZE THEM.

THE FOUR CORNERS SCARBORO HIGH SCHOOL Volume XXII MAY 1934 Number i The school was sorry not to publish a yearbook in 1933, but due to the bank holiday and the depression in general, we were unable to get the ads necessary to pay for the printing of a book of the quality we had previously printed. So instead of printing a cheap yearbook, we omitted it entirely and printed a little six-page bi¬ weekly paper called the Scarboronim. This year we are putting the pictures and periscope for the Class of 1933 in the Alumni Department. We have also tried to improve all of the departments, so that after our forced vacation of a year, our readers will get a book enough ' better to make up for the omitted year. C. W. A. IN SCARBORO The t, V. A. to some people is just talk, as they are unable to see the work done by it. But anyone who has lieen inside of the Oak Hill Grammar School before and after they worked there will realize what a great deal of work and what a fine quality of work has been done through the C. W. A. In the other grade
