THE FOUR CORNERS SCARBORO HIGH SCHOOL Volume XXIV May 1936 Number i APPRECIATION To our advertisers, we, the Editorial Board of The Four CoRXEits of 193G, wish to offer our most sincere thanks for the loyalty shown by so many generous ci tizens in renewing their advertisements, and to all new advertisers. As a token of our appreciation, we would like to ask all our readers to Patron- ize Our Advertisers, WINTER SPORTS By Maynard Doldoff In the past two years there has been a great increase in enthusiasm for winter sports; they have been taken up by the young and the elderly alike for a pastime. Snow trails, ski jumps, toboggan chutes, and skating rinks have been built to stimu¬ late the interest in, and to take care of, the patrons of the sports. Snow trains run every Sunday during the winter season to the different ski trails. Every year more carnivals are held. This interest naturally affects the high schools. Scarboro has an excellent location for winter sports. The athletic field, just back of the high school, is large enough for a good-sized hockey rink, and for skiing and snowshoe races. This is an advantage over some of the other schools who do not have an athletic field so near. Then, too, there is a hill nearby where a ski jump could be erected. By introducing winter sports to Scar¬ boro High, many students would be given an opportunity to take part in other activi¬ ties besides basketball. Some do not care for basketball, which is our main winter sport. A hockey team could be fonned.

6 THE FOUR CORNERS This would probably lead to a hockey league similar to our present basketball league. A winter sports team could be formed as well. This would give us three main sports for the winter season instead of one. With basketball our only sport activity during the winter, we have no opportunity to spend much time out of doors. Every school should have an out-of-door sport for the benefit of the health of the pupils. Winter sports would also increase the in¬ terest of the pupils in the school, because it would give more the opportunity to rep¬ resent the school in some way. SCARBORO SHOULD ADVERTISE By Shirley Knight, ’36 Because of the fact that at least one- half of the population of Scarboro is af¬ fected directly or indirectly by the summer tourist business, we think that Scarboro, as a town, should advertise. Our town offers distinct advantages in entertainment. There are sandy bathing beaches, golf courses, tennis courts, shuffle- board courts, a riding club, and opportuni¬ ties for fishing and sailing. Tennis, golf, and bridge tournaments are annual events. The fact that Scarboro can accommo¬ date the summer tourist satisfactorily has been proved in previous years. But we also realize that our tow could accommodate more tourists than it does at the present time. Therefore, as advertising would bring the eyes of the motoring public to rest on Scarboro and increase the patron¬ age of local resorts, we feel it the duty of the town to help in making Scarboro a better known stopping-place for suininer visitors. It is worth while to work to increase the summer tourist business for several dis¬ tinct reasons. First, approximately twenty per cent of the taxes paid to the town ot‘ Scarboro comes from the property of those who are engaged in catering to the summer visitor. The value of this property de¬ pends upon the business transacted there and not upon the actual value of the land. Secondly, not only the owners of hotels, tourist homes, cabins, shore dinner houses, and filling stations depend, for the most part, on the summer tourist for their liv¬ ings, but also a gi eat number of the other townspeople. Tlie aboved-named businesses employ many citizens of this town. In many homes the sole income of the family depends upon the volume of summer tour¬ ist business. Thirdly, the shore dinner houses buy all Pine Point clams and some Pine Point lobsters. Those visitors who rent cottages and do their own housekeeping buy gro¬ ceries at local stores and fresh vegetables from Scarboro farmers. Some of the hotels also buy fresh vegetables from the farmers. As an increase in the summer tourist business would be beneficial to the town as a whole, we are convinced that Scarboro should advertise. OUR TOWN By Harriet Snow, ’38 One hundred and sixteen years ago, an old country squire in Woolwich, Maine, called upstairs one cold winter morning,
