IN MEMORIAM GUY HERBERT PILLSBURY, Jr., Class of 1940 I cannot , and I will not say That he is dead—he is just away! With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand, He has wandered into that unknown land, And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be since he lingers there. And you , O you , who the ivildest yearn For the old-time step and the glad return ,— Think of him faring on, as dear In the love of There as the love of Here. So think of him still as the same, I say: He is not dead—he is just away! Strrrtnry FACULTY Elyyood G. Bessey, A. M.. Principal Mathematics Frances B. Libhey, A. B. Latin and History Winfred E.

It is their co¬ operation that has enabled us to publish this issue of The Four. Corners. In appreciation we ask all our readers to Patronize Our Advertisers. SAFETY FIRST Highway safety! An appeal that is go¬ ing over the entire state for more safety on highways, where thousands of school children and older pedestrians are com¬ pelled to walk through the lack of trans¬ portation, and out of the scores, how many are killed ? How many are crippled for life? The motorist, when he is tempted to speed past the rate for safe driving, should stop to think that he is jeopardizing the life of everyone on the road,—pedestrians, passing motorists and all others. But the careless, reckless drivers,—little care they for anything but speed and more speed. Then, only after they meet with an acci¬ dent and arc critically injured, they stop to think of all the pain and expense they have cost themselves and perhaps someone else. It is too late then. Sorrow and grief tinge the atmosphere of many homes just because someone dig- 8 THE FOUR CORNERS obeyed a traffic liglit or violated other traffic laws. Traffic laws! There are many, and there are also laws for the pedestrian, but, be that as it may, there would be comparative safety for all, if laws were to be obeyed. What were the laws made for, if not for our protection $ What for, if not to be obeyed? And again what for, if not to save the lives of many unfortunate people who are killed in accidents each year ? Older people as well as small children need to obey the law of pedestrians, for over half the fatalities to highway travelers occur among the grown-up; people who have heedlessly disregarded all lights, signs, rules and other safety devices. In such cases they are more in error than the un¬ fortunate motorist. So in an appeal to the better sense of the people, drive carefully, observe regulations for pedestrians and be ready to guard little children from the menace of automobiles. WHY NOT? Awards should be made for scholastic merit in our school as well as for athletics. letters and ribbons are awarded those wlio place in athletic events. Why shouldn ' t like awards be given those who achieve high rank in their studies? The school, primarily, is a place for learning. Athletics are extra-curriculum activities. And yet awards are given for these athletics and not for scholastic rank. Every boy and girl would like to wear a letter “S.” Even if they can’t for some reason compete in the athletic field, they might Ik able to win a letter by study. Put¬ ting uj these awards would naturally tend to make pupils strive harder for good rank. Some pupils may be crippled or in some way physically unlit but mentally capable. Why shouldn ' t these boys and girls wear the emblem of the school as well as the athletes ( Therefore, 1 end my request: awards should be made for scholastic merit in our school as well as for athletics. HISTORY OF S. H. S. To appreciate our high school today, we should have some knowledge of its develop¬ ment. About 1S00 Scarboro was divided into districts varying in size. Each district owned and cared for its properties. Money was obtained for the building of the school- house by levying a tax upon the property within the limits of the school district and each had its agent who hired the teachers and cared for school accommodations. Con¬ sequently, the larger and more populated districts, the better the school. In the smaller districts the families took turns in hoarding the teacher, thus helping out the school money. Whatever courses the teacher had studied in college, he taught to the older pupils. Reading, writing and arithmetic were taught to everyone. The person in a community who could not read or write was looked upon with contempt. Each person could go independently to the limit of his ability. If the pupil wished to go further than this common school edu¬ cation. lie could, at his own expense, go to an “academy town” where academies were located. The academies were regarded as an annex to the common school system and the Constitution of 1820 made it the duty of the legislature to help them, although they were under private control. These THE FOUR CORNERS 9 academies fitted their students for tlie col¬ leges, which were also under private gov¬ ernment. The colleges had long winter vacations so as to allow their students to go out and teach in the common schools. This system of common school went on until 1877. Then the town voted to estab¬ lish free high schools which were held at Beech Ridge, Oak Hill and Dunstan dis¬ tricts. The fall term was held at Beech Ridge, the winter term at Dunstan, and the spring term at Oak Hill, thus giving students a chance to attend high school all of the school year. While the high school was in session, there was no common school held in that district. In 1879 the legisla¬ ture suspended the Free Act, so the town did not keep high school. School went on as it did before the high school was started. In 1S90 high school was held in the Town Hall for the first time. In 1891 it was changed to the Good Templars Hall in Dunstan, hut was found detrimental in many ways. The following year it was held in the. Town Hall without any inter¬ ruption until 1905 when the present Oak Hill school was built. This school housed both high school and grammar school pu¬ pils. Within a few years this school was too small to hold all the pupils, so in 1920 Scarboro built a new high school — the present school. After we have learned of our high school ' s growth, I am sure that we should thank our far-seeing citizens for our Sear- boro High School. During the last year and a half, we have been working toward the beautification of our building. Last Spring, after trans¬ ferring the library to the former club room, the manual training department under the supervision of Mr. Hallctt installed moulding in the teachers’ room, the library, and the two home rooms, making it possible to hang pictures without mar¬ ring the walls. Through the kindness of Miss Marian Jordan, we have received five valuable reproductions of the masters, Velasquez and Michael Angelo. The three Velasquez reproductions are “The Spin¬ ners,” the “Surrender of Breda,” and “The Forge.” All are done in sepia and framed in brown, as is also a copy of the “Roman Forum which is hung near them. This year Miss Jordan gave us a copy of “The Libyan Sibyl and Esais” by Michael Angelo. These are in black and white and framed in silver, making beautiful addi¬ tions to our library. The Freshman home room contains por¬ traits of George Washington and Theodore Roosevelt, and will have one of Abraham Lincoln as soon as it can be reframed. Also this room has a map of ancient Portland framed. The Sophomore home room has a copy of Sir Laurence Alma Tadema’s “Reading from Homer” and two smaller ones of scenes in Rome. Both home rooms are now equipped with two splendid cases of maps of the most modern type. The teachers’ room has a small colored copy of the “Sistine Madonna.” Recently both the teachers’ room and the library have been curtained with beautiful glass curtains of ecru marquisette, thus adding to the attractiveness of the rooms. 10 THE FOUR CORNERS Friends and alumni could perpetuate their names in no more permanent and ap¬ preciated way than by presenting; to the school pictures or statuary of real artistic merit to add to the beauty and cultural value of our surroundings. The student body and friends of the high school were made very happy recently to learn of two bequests made in the will of John Hunnewell, a native of Scar- boro. After leaving the bulk of his estate in a trust fimd to his two sisters, Mr. Ilun- newell provided for a number of charitable and educational gifts to various institu¬ tions, including our high school. One, a fund of $2,000, which will reach a total of $100,000 at maturity, was given to the Scarboro High School book fund; the other, a fund of $5,000, which will mature to $500,000, provides for assistance to high school students in securing a higher education. The income of both funds will serve a double purpose: half will revert to the principal and half will be available for use each year. When the funds become available, they will thus increase yearly by this wise plan until the annual revenue amounts to a considerable sum. No more worthy cause than education could engage the interest of persons of means, and the people of Scarboro should rejoice that one who came from this town should continue to display a practical con¬ cern in the place of his birth.

JUST A COINCIDENCE He took the cah at the cluh and had no sooner settled down in it than he discov¬ ered the hag. It was peeping out invitingly from behind the seat cushion, a small, black bag with a dark red clasp, an ex¬ pensive looking trifle with a foreign ac¬ cent. lie suspected Paris. He took it up tentatively and examined it. It was not large, hut he judged by the feel of it that it was stocked with delight¬ ful feminine possessions. He glanced from it, uncertainly, to the hack of the driver ' s head. There was something almost guilty in glance. But the driver was obviously intent upon his own problems. Cunningham opened the bag. It was lined in dark red silk to match the clasp, and it contained a small dark red chitfon handkerchief, finely edged and marked with the initial “A. A fragile affair, dis¬ turbingly fragrant. Next, a small red moire compact, containing powder and a minute puff, a lipstick chosen for a bru- net‘e. definitely; a small purse containing three one-dollar hills and sixty -seven cents in coins; a shopping list on which was written in a dashing feminine scrawl: “Telephone Jacques. Telephone Henrietle. Tea—Renton-Bob. Elizabeth—5:30.” Finally, there were three visiting cards engraved and decorated with a very thin black edging. The name on them was Mrs. Johnny Ilingliam. Underneath was her address in the East Seventies. (’nnningham sat regarding the card. In his mind he heard faintly the huntsman’s call and the ghostly sounding horns. lie knew quite well that he had ar¬ ranged to dine with Ilogland. But Hog- land was a patient chap and would wait for him uncomplainingly if he was late. And it was very seldom that adventure called with such a siren voice in this prosaic day and age. He tapped on the glass and gave the driver the address in the East Seventies. The apartment house looked expensive and exclusive, lie dismissed the taxicab and entered, asking for Mrs. Hingham. A uniformed attendant at the door directed him to the lift. And on the seventh floor he repeated his inquiry to a trim maid who took his card, appraising him shrewdly with a glance and asked him to wait in a little reception room just off the foyer. THE FOUR CORNERS 17 The reception room was luxuriously fur¬ nished, sweet with the fragrance of flowers, and dimly lit. “She isn ' t young, cried a warning voice within him. Hut she was. She was not only young, she was incredibly lovely. He stared with brightening eyes as she came slowly to him, still holding his card. She was dark, with great dark eyes and a skin like the petals of a white camellia. She wore a very plain black evening gown that did not attempt to conceal the lines of a perfect figure. “Air. Cunningham ?” she said. “Won’t you sit down ?” He liked her voice and sat down oppo¬ site her. “I’m afraid you’ll think me quite mad to descend upon you at such an hour,” he said smiling, “but I found your bag in my taxi, l think. And—” “And my bag intrigued you,” she fin¬ ished for him, laughing a little. “And you thought it might be amusing to see what the owner was like.” He would not have believed it of him¬ self, but it was true. Ifc flushed, and, of course, she observed it, and laughed the more. “It is all obvious, isn’t it? But of course, in all of us there is that secret hunger for romance. I know it, also, only too well. . . . Cigarette?” She extended the large silver box that, stood on the table beside her. It was filled with fat Turkish cigarettes. “No, thanks. I’ll smoke a Virginian, if you don’t mind. But I don’t want to in¬ trude on you—” “Don’t you ?” she smiled tensingly, as he lighted both cigarettes. “Come now, confess you would go away most disap¬ pointed, if the promising little adventure were to end here.” He laughed. “I’m afraid that is very obvious. Does it amuse you to make me so transparent ?” “Very much. But don’t feel badly. It is only that you are a man, and I know— a little—about men ...” She had a fas¬ cinating way of letting her words trail off into thoughts. As he said nothing, she added presently: “And for a reward?” “Am I to name my own reward ?” lie asked interestingly. “But of course. IIow could I accept such a service from a stranger without making some attempt to reciprocate?” “Dine with me,” said Cunningham. She regarded him meditatively. “No,” she murmured, “I can’t—I’m not entirely free.” She laughed softly and then went on: “I. will tell you about it. I have friends to dine. Two of them. I had in¬ vited three—so that we could have bridge afterward, you know. But one has sent word at the last moment that he cannot arrive. So we are still three. I thought perhaps, since you arrived so opportunely, well—” Cunningham nodded. “I shall be charmed to stay,” he assured her. The trim little maid came and took away his hat and coat, and Cunningham followed his hostess into the library, where the other guests were having cocktails. “I have found a man,” cried Mrs. Hing- ham exultantly, as they advanced. “So our evening is not quite ruined, eh? . . . Mr. Cunningham, Mrs. Allen, Mr. Bamanos.” Mrs. Allen was about forty, and had a pretty face, a slim figure and gray hair. IS TEE FOUR CORNERS Ram a nos was dark and sauvc and good looking—probably a South American. He greeted Cunningham casually and indif¬ ferently. Mrs. Allen was more cordial. Mrs. llingham poured more cocktails. Dinner was announced, and they passed into the small dining-room and took their places about a table, charming with silver and crystal and roses. The food was de¬ licious and the table talk was gay. In the candlelight Mrs. Johnny Hingham looked even lovelier than before, and Cunningham had no difficulty in quelling his thoughts about Hogland. They had all traveled and they were not lacking in social graces. They talked no personalities, so that he was able to hold his own; and the secret that he shared with his hostess—the fact that they were total strangers to each other—really formed a bond between them that heightened his en¬ joyment of the little party. Every now and then a demure glance flashed his way as she called him Bill or added You re¬ member’ to something she was saying. So dinner ended and they adjourned to the drawing room, where the bridge table had been set out. Over the mantel was a huge portrait of a rakish-looking young man in riding habit that Cunningham as¬ sumed was the late Johnny Hingham. He was not ordinarily a hard-hearted man. hut he was glad Hingham no longer trod the earth—he was entirely too good look¬ ing. They drew for partners and began to play. When the family broke up, Cun¬ ningham had lost three hundred and sev¬ enty-four dollars. But he was very com¬ fortably oflF. and money meant little to him. In spite of the presence of Rama nos, he had managed to make some progress with Mrs. Hingham. He had learned that her first name was Arline, and he had per¬ suaded her to break her engagement for luncheon the next day so that she could have lunch with him instead. . . . A telephone message came the next morning, putting him otT until the end of the week, but he thought nothing of that. It was, he told himself, merely the femi¬ nine technique. And then the very next afternoon he took the cab at the club. And lie had no sooner settled down than he no¬ ticed the bag. It was peeping out invit¬ ingly from behind the seat cushion—a small black bag with a dark red clasp—an expensive looking trifle with a foreign ac¬ cent. He suspected Paris. Cunningham opened the bag. It was lined in dark red silk to match the clasp, and it contained a small dark red chiffon handkerchief, finely edged and marked with the initial A.” A fragile affair, dis¬ turbingly fragrant. Xext. a small red moire compact, containing powder and a small minute puff; a lipstick chosen for a brunette definitely; a small purse contain¬ ing three onc-dollar bills and sixty-seven cents in change; a shopping list on which was written in a dashing feminine scrawl: “Telephone Jacques. Telephone Henriette. Tea—Renton-Bob. Elizabeth—5:30. Finally there were three visiting cards engraved and decorated with a very thin black edging. The name on them was Mrs. Johnny Hingham. Underneath was her address in the East Seventies. That the same man should have found the same bag again was of course just one of these things. IIelexe Howatt, ’38. THE FOUR CORNERS 10 STUDY They called my name, I thrilled with joy; 1 thought the prize went to a boy. But, no! ’Twas me, it sure was true, Yes! “The girl in white! I’:n calling you.” I arose and walked on air, The applause was loud, l didn ' t care; Things seemed jumbled, laces hlui red, I took the prize, and my head whirred. I mumbled, Thank you.” My heart beat loud, My mom and dad were in that crowd. I did try hard, my work proved true. So hard study pays. I’m telling you. Selma F. Cohen, ' 40. CAMPING To niv mind there is no finer or more wholesome sport than taking a pack with a friend and camping out. If it. is in the hunting season, take along a gun, but, per¬ sonally, I think a camera is much more preferable for a good time, as well as for the sake of the animals. I remember as a small child taking a pup tent, a small box of food, and going out in a field beside, a clump of bushes, and trying to imagine that I was not in ‘‘mv own backyard,” but in some lovely, beautiful, secluded valley where no one else visited, free from the noise and ways of civilized towns and cities. When two or three of us fellows would be camping beside some lake on one of the hottest days of the year, and they would be going in swimming or for a row on the lake to escape the intense heat, I would find more pleasure in taking a camera, and going for a walk through the woods to some small bubbling brook; there to find something unknown to many people. That makes one forget the heat as well as the problems of life. Even (lie nights hold one’s interest. Out¬ side the camp tire may be seen many curious eyes and the sound of birds and night prowlers fills one’s heart with a mysterious feeling of deepest gratitude for the chance to he in the open. And so, my friends, when you tire of the ways of civilization, take along a pack of food and go into the woods for a few weeks, and there I am sure you will find solitude and happiness. You may he lonely for the first day, but you are not alone, for on every tree, in every valley, and under every bush, lives some wild animal or bird who would he more than willing to be friends with you, if you yourself arc willing to go “half way” with them. Norman Harmon ' , ’38. BACK TO THE PRIMITIVE Since I rebuilt my Lizzie, And renamed it Harriet, Every motor cop is busy. But they haven’t got me yet. It was quite a job to hold it On the straight and narrow road; I could not help but scold it When I had to have it towed. Now, all the wheels are shattered. And the rad. is full of holes; The mudguards have been battered From grazing “tele” poles. The engine’s nearly done for; Just two lungs yet to go; It has nothing more to run for, ' Cause the chassis is laid low. So, next time I start to wander, Down the road that’s straight and narrow, I’ll choose a bright red kiddie car, Or else a staid wheelbarrow. Unknown, ’40. 20 THE FOUR CORNERS ESSAY ON SOUVENIRS Ah, souvenirs! What crimes are com¬ mitted in thy name! Tickets, spoons, match folders, or pro¬ grams. They are all the same—souvenirs. We all have the innate urge to keep something as a remembrance or memento of some especially good time. A pressed rose, a program, or even a paper hat. But most of us are also chronic collectors. In¬ curables. Anything—anyhow—all in the name of souvenirs. Some of us have the silverware knack. In fact, I know of one person who has a silver chest completely stocked with silver obtained in the various restaurants and places where he has eaten. They are all marked with the house ' s name and are in¬ deed appropriate remembrances. Some collect match folders. How many different kinds there are! One day 1 was hurrying down Congress Street. I had just five minutes to catch the bus. The side¬ walk was crowded and I was immediately behind an old. rather portly gentleman. Suddenly he stopped. I almost rode up his back. He was stooping—picking up some¬ thing. What ( Yes it was! A match folder! I missed my bus. Various famous places and things have to be protected against these same souvenir hunters. A fence is around Plymouth Rock for the simple reason that if it were left free to the public, there soon would be no Plymouth Rock. Also in these famous places there are usually souvenir venders. At Stratford-on-Avon there is always someone selling a chip from a chair where Shakespeare sat. And at Mt. Vernon, Vir¬ ginia, one can always buy a chip from that famed cherry tree which was felled by Washington when he was a boy. That tree, indeed, must have been a giant redwood or two, and as for Shakespeare’s chair, ac¬ cording to the chips sold, that poet must have sat his entire life. In eating places the first things to go after the spoons are the smaller tomato juice glasses, tiny wooden mustard spoons, and salts and peppers. So if you some¬ times wonder at the size of the salts and peppers in a restaurant, don ' t wonder any longer. This is the reason. The bulkier and larger they are the harder it is to carry them off. Of course there are always napkins and doilies to be kept and marked, as well as straws from soda fountains. Then there is the tourist who always manages to take a towel or two and plenty of stationery. These are what might be called “handy” mementos. Letters are a rather different type of souvenir, but they also come in handy. Indeed, I ' ve heard it said that these can Ik a most profitable form of souvenir. The number from a chair in a public hall makes a nice keepsake. So does a stop sign and a license plate. Some souvenir hunters buy their sou¬ venirs but not often. It is just the con¬ scientious ones who buy a thermometer or tie rack all nicely marked “Souvenir of Portland, Maine” (or wherever they may be). They aren’t members of the authentic school. Far from it. Naturally one betters one’s self as time goes on. You may start at the bottom with a paper napkin and before you know it you will acquire a collection worthy of anyone. So, although I’ll admit that a society against souvenir collectors might be a good THE FOUR.

Snow, ’38. MANHATTAN MYSTERY The night was dark and unsettled; the air was misty, a typical Manhattan eve¬ ning. The summer breeze had long since died down, and the mugginess of the day had not yet gone. On the dimly lighted streets, dusty taxis and noisy pleasure cars rattled along the pavement. A milk wagon in the dis¬ tance was identified by the clattering hoofs of its weary horse. On the paper-scattered sidewalks, men strolled listlessly . . . some of them lurched crazily. The many saloons were the only retail establishments left open, and a noisy crowd of rough men and cheap women inside did not suggest the miserable poverty which some of these beer-filled men had left in their nearby tenement homes. Bv one particnlar street lamp, on the corner of Burke and State Streets, a tall, undistinguished looking man looked sharply about him. He displayed an unlighted cigarette dangling from his solemn lips. Tie picked out one particular traveller that was walking past and hailed him. ‘‘Got a match, Buddy?” “Sure. . . And he dug deeply into his pocket, brought forth a battered ciga¬ rette lighter, and held it to the oth er’s blue lips. A look of surprise swept over his yellow profile. “Terry!” he said. “Tony! This is a break . . . come up to my room . . . I’ve got a proposition to make to you. . . .” ' “Sunny. . . “Yes, sir?” “Is everything ready ? Grips, suitcases, trunks. . . .” “Everything, sir.” “Just think, Sunny! A month in Monte Carlo! A long-awaited vacation for us . . . at last.” The speaker, Philip Gregg, well-known detective, was conversing with Sunny, his cvcr-agreeable valet. “The first vacation in over a year. Wlmt a break!” “Quite, sir.” Gregg murmured to himself content¬ edly in a low tone, and Sunny beamed genially as he talked. Suddenly the phone rang, and the cver-gracious Sunny obliged. “Yes, this is Mr. Gregg’s residence. Yes, it is. Yes, sir.” He covered the mouthpiece as he spoke to his superior. “It’s Inspector Monihan. He wishes to speak with you.” “Oh, hang it all! Well, I suppose I ■must speak to him. . . And he reached for the receiver. “Hello . . . yes. What? Why, I can’t, very well. I’m sailing for Monte Carlo at midnight. . . . Yes, on the Rex. . . . My tickets, passports and everything is in order for my sailing at twelve. T can’t give it up now. . . . What? It’s Pete Monelli? AY ell, why didn’t you say so? Sure, I can cancel it! Bight . . . I’ll be there. ... Yes, in ten minutes. . . . G’bye.” He placed the receiver on its hook. “Humph ! My perennial friend, Mr. Peter Monelli. . . Philip Gregg sighed. “Sunny, T fear it will be many weeks be¬ fore we reach Monte Carlo. . . THE FOUR CORNERS 22 And all the agreeable Sunny answered was: “Indeed, sir? It must be a disturb¬ ingly long way. . . Upon his arrival, the inspector told Cregg the entire story. “Pete Monelli met Tonv Spitale tonight in Manhattan. By mistake, 1 guess, ac¬ cording to Tony’s story. . . .” ‘•Oh, you’ve got him, have you ?” “Yeah, we caught him when he tried to break through the jewelry store window. “—and Monelli ? ' He looked rather expectantly at the in¬ spector. “He was there, too . . . armed to the teeth. . . . Put a bullet hole in Sergeant Gillhooley’s belly. He got away through the crowd. I don ' t see how he could have escaped without being caught.” “Humph . . . Pete must he hard up to crack a jewelry store . . . Pete, or Jerry, if you prefer his real name . . . generally specializes in banks. . . .” “Yeah, that’s true enough.’’ “Well, what else do you know ?” “Nothing, except Tony told us the loca¬ tion of the joint where Pete lives . . . or rather lived. . . . Upstairs tenement, near the store ... on Burke Street.’’ “Have you sent anyone up there?” ‘‘No, I knew you’d want to be the first to go there . . . not that think you ' ll find anything.” “Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s got going.” The two men left. Gregg utterly con¬ scious that he had exactly one hour and twenty minutes in which to catcli that con¬ founded boat. Once on the scene of tile crime, the fa¬ mous detective thought for a minute or two, then made a quick decision. “You say he got away with some cash ? ‘ Yeah. About two thousand, as near as the owner of the store can figure. But it is more than a thief we want now, Gregg . . . it’s a murderer.” “Right . . . let ' s just take a look through Monelli ' s room . . . just for the fun of it.” “O. K. The inspector followed the de¬ tective rather wearily, for lie was a large man, and was far from being adapted to fast walking. It was only a few doors to number 317, and it was a short walk. The inspector pointed a pudgy forefinger at the door and muttered, in an unoblig¬ ing way. “This is the place.” “Well, let ' s go upstairs.” “Right. . . The inspector, in spite of the consider¬ able girth around the middle, hastened up the stairs to the first landing. On this landing, they met Mrs. Phinncy, the land¬ lady, who looked inquiringly at the in¬ spector. “Why, what’s the matter, sir ?” “Business . . . private business,” the inspector obligingly informed. “But, why in my house. . . .” “Business,” the inspector repeated curtly, and then followed Gregg up the stairs. “Know her. Inspector?” asked Gregg, as they proceeded upstairs. “Sure. She’s Mrs. Phinney, the land¬ lady. We get to know all the tenement landlords and landladies after thirty-four years on the force, right here in Manhat¬ tan,” the inspector replied proudly. THE FOUR CORNERS 23 They approached (lie door and the in¬ spector began to explain the situation. “Guess we ' d better take it kinda easy,” lie said softly. “I’ll kick the door open.” “Yeah.” The inspector looked around the hallway suspiciously, and Philip Gregg glanced at his watch. Eleven five! Fifty-five more minutes before he must miss the boat. The door flew open upon the inspector’s kick. The room appeared to be quite empty in every respect, even as to furniture. The room contained only a bed, a radio, a chair, and a chest of drawers. The inspector led Gregg into the room and carefully the pair began a search. . . . What for? Even they did not know. Just something tangi¬ ble . . . something to really work on. . . . Philip Gregg took the ash tray and fin¬ gered its contents. He gingerly picked up a certain butt, examined it carefully, and thrust it into his pocket. “Ilmmm ...” he murmured, “I won¬ der. . . ” At this moment, the inspector cried aloud, from his search through the clothes closet. “IIcy, Gregg! Look what I’ve found! Ilis clothes! The ones he got away in!” “Arc you sure ?” “Positive!” He handled them gloat¬ ingly, as he described each article. “Blue coat, brown striped pants, blue shirt, and the red tic. . . .” A smile of satisfaction stole over Philip Gregg’s ruddy face as he heard this wel¬ come news. “Let’s go see the landlady ... I have a hunch ... it may materialize. . . “All right, but I don’t see. . . “You will, later.” And the somewhat bewildered inspector followed the detective down the two flights of stairs to the main floor. They paused momentarily before the door marked “Myra II. Phinncy, Landlady”. . . . “Don’t bother to knock,” suggested Gregg, “let’s walk right in.” And with that he turned the porcelain knob and unceremoniously entered. On the sofa sat Mrs. Phinncy, her streaked brown-grey hair disarranged and her large feet draped over an inexpensive footstool. A cigarette dangled from her painted lips. She arose to greet her visitors. “Oh, it’s you, is it, Inspector Monilian? Well, it’s glad I am to see you . . . and your friend, too . . . won’t you sit down?” “Yes, I believe we will, for a few min¬ utes, Mrs. Phinney.” Tt was Philip Gregg who answered her. The inspector was about to introduce the two formally, but Gregg foresaw the event and cut off the inspector’s speech. “Don’t bother introducing me to Mrs. Phinney,” and he emphasized the name. “We’ve met before, I believe. . . .” The Irish landlady feigned surprise. “Have we, now? And where was it?” “At the Eighth Street Station. Only your name was Pete Monelli at that time . . . and also they called you Jerry Peter¬ son. . . .” The lady’s jaw dropped and the cigarette between her red lips dropped on the rag rug. Gregg swiftly stooped and picked it up. “Ah,” he said, “I was right.” During this hurried pantomime, the in¬ spector gaped at the two with wide-open eyes, and his lower jaw hung bewilder- ingly. 24 THE FOUR CORNERS “Monelli . . • that’s your name, isn ' t it ? Yes, I thought so . . . we ' ve got you this time, Monelli . . . for murder! The hapless individual on the sofa squirmed uneasily. “Listen, Gregg, you ain ' t got anything on me, see?

' “What ?” “Sure, He told us all we need to know. “Why, that dirty rat. . . The inspector was clamping silvery handcuffs over Pete Monelli ' s fat wrists. “How did you know, Gregg?” asked the inspector. “It was simple. In his room I picked up this Camel cigarette . . . with a small amount of lipstick on the end of it. . . . Then you found the clothes, and 1 hap¬ pened to think that in the days when Mo¬ nelli was called .Jerry Peterson he was on the stage for a while. So I got the hunch. I played the hunch and won. I was lucky. He turned to Monelli. “By the way, my friend, where ' s the real Mrs. Phinney ? “I can answer that one, Gregg,” offered Monihan. somewhat shamefully. “I just happened to think . . . this is Saturday, Mrs. Phinney ' s movie night! Gosh, why didn ' t I think of that before V’ “Is that right, Monelli ? “Yeah ... I guess it is, Copper. Inspector Monihan was frisking Monelli and his hand struck a hard object. This proved to l e the fatal gun which had killed Gillhooley, and at this moment the real Mrs. Phinney entered. The false Mrs. Phinney left in a short while, and as the inspector, Monelli and Philip Gregg were about to leave the tenement, the latter turned the dial of the wall telephone to his own apartment number. “Hello . . . Sunny?” “Ves, sir? came the willing voice of Wellington P. Sunny. “Call a taxi and pack everything into it and go down to dock F; I ' ll meet you there. . .

THE CHANGE OF TIMES Have you ever stopped to realize how the times have changed since the days of our grandparents, or even our parents ? In the early eighteen hundreds there were no automobiles. When Grandfather and Grandmother were going to Portland to see a play, they allowed from an hour to an hour and a half to drive in, all due to the condition of the roads. In the sum¬ mer they were dusty, but if it was spring they were muddy, and in winter they had to go in a sleigh. On arriving in town Grandfather would put the horse in a pub¬ lic stable, feed, water, and blanket him for the cost of fifty cents. THE FOUR CORNERS 25 Today when one of the future Grand¬ fathers is going to the show, lie goes out, steps into the family ear, and rides along a smooth cement highway to Portland, which can easily be reached in fifteen minutes. When he arrives in town lie drives the car into a parking station, pays a quarter, and forgets about it until after the show. In Dad’s day when the auto¬ mobile was first invented, it was the talk of the town to go to Portland and hack without having a breakdown. It was con¬ sidered a daring act to drive over twenty- five miles an hour. High school in Grandfather’s day was often held in the town ball. Very few boys went to school after the grammar grades. The only subjects taught in the high schools were reading, mathematics, English and Latin. No sports, clubs, or other activities were carried on in the schools. One of the hoys was the janitor, whose job was to keep the little black stove full of wood. But today, how different! We have modern brick school buildings with steam heat and janitors to keep the corridors and rooms swept. The high school courses not only include the old subjects, but also book¬ keeping, typing, shorthand, art, music, manual training for the boys and home economics for the girls. As for sports, how boring it would be to be forced to attend a school where there were no sports. We have track, baseball, basketball, football, swimming and, of course, winter sports. We also have school orchestras, glee clubs, French clubs, hobby clubs and 4-II clubs. Some high schools now have one period a day when the pupils may do anything they like. Some dance, others play checkers or chess, others attend club meetings and, of course, there are always those who prefer to study. Sunday, as Grandfather remembers it, was a day when the whole family went to church two or three times a day. Today church is held only once. n the afternoon, Mother and Dad possibly go visiting friends, and Junior and Sue either go to a football game, skating or just riding around with “the crowd.” Sunday eve¬ nings there are good programs to listen to on the radio. What a lot was missed in the lives of those who didn ' t have a radio! After telling a story to the younger members of the family, Grandfather says, ‘‘Those were the good old days!” But how many of us arc willing to change places with them ? Letitia Leary, ’3S. WHIMSEY In my backyard are cherry trees. Pink columbines that nod and sway; They lure the birds to build their nests, Their colors make my garden gay.

But this is definitely the age of swing. 26 THE FOUR CORNERS Everyone ' s impression of swing is dif¬ ferent. Many believe that it depends largely upon the song; others believe that all credit is due to the musician. But we all know that, whatever it be, swing has swept the country as no other type of music has ever done. Jazz and swing have often been con¬ fused. But they are certainly very dif¬ ferent. Jazz is music that can be recorded on paper and preserved. Swing is a man¬ ner of playing recorded or remembered music. Yet jazz has done more than any other thing towards promoting swing. Everyone knows jazz. Most everyone likes it. And its simple melody leaves plenty of space for the musician to add his “wo-lio- lio ' s.” Song writers have now noticed that there is a detinite rhythm in swing, and they have endeavored to interpret this rhythm in their songs. Some so-called swing tunes have become successful, per¬ haps because the public liked them more than the fact that they were actually swing songs. “Let Yourself Go” was one of the first of these tunes to be recognized as swing. I don ' t know whether it was actu¬ ally swing or not. But, like the rest of tin public, T knew that it was dilferent from the music of the past—and I liked it. Immediately swing began to have a more widespread meaning. Song after song fol¬ lowed in rapid succession. They became lilts. They died. The life of swing tunes is short, but glorious. They fade away al¬ most as suddenly as they appear. But the nation is never without popular tunes, be¬ cause song writers, like other people, must earn a living. Kubinoff can play “The Organ Grind¬ er’s Swing” in symphonic style, while Paul Whiteman can swing Mendelssohn ' s most difficult composition. Therefore, swing must depend more largely upon the “swinger than upon the tune itself. And although the “old folks” will al¬ ways favor “Auld Lang Sync and “Annie Laurie, the younger generation realizes that “swing ' s the latest thing!” Ellen Jensen, ' 3S. A BOY ' S OPINION ON GOING TO SCHOOL I came to school today. 1 probably shall come tomorrow. No doubt I shall continue to arrive more or less regularly, and on time, for the duration of my high school education. But why do 1 attend the high school of this Town of Scarboro one day and the next ( Surely, one day ' s education does not benefit me. when I know that to re¬ ceive a high school diploma 1 must attend school more or less regularly and on time for twelve long years. Nature beckons but 1 must, sit through this one day and try to cram one day ' s education into my brain. We will now start in with a small child. He is getting to be a nuisance around the home, and his mother heaves a great sigh of relief: a sigh such as only a weary mother can give; at last, after five years, he has started school. His education has started! A teacher who probably thinks the child is a trifle dumb or just slow-witted, takes up the sighing spell, and gives our hero a pretty little book all filled with pictures. She starts trying to teach him such phrases as, “I see a kitty.” He looks at her in scorn and his opinion of her and school THE FOUR CORNERS 27 goes lower. In fact, it keeps on going lower until by the time he has achieved a diploma, his opinion has fallen arches. Now, let ns take the bright little “dear” w ho does not care the slightest bit whether the biological fact that toads give warts is true or not, who is picked on by what he calls bullies, and who carries the teacher an apple every day. Tie loves school and “I see a kitty” is music in his ears. This hoy is one of our presidents-to-be. Suffering, as our small friend may he, he soon gains the mighty position of long division and the other related terrors. Through this he knows not what he has to live for. lie soon finds this out in the form of fractions and decimals. This goes on day by day for eight years; each morning unveils new impossibilities. And so it goes. He is a mighty eighth- grader and without warning, he is a miser¬ able freshman. But after he passes this ‘‘dabble in Green,” he begins vaguely to see light ahead. He is released earlier in the afternoon!! Many of his less coura¬ geous friends quit. All the while his natural studious harassers, the “little dears,” take Latin and expound on the simpleness of algebraic figures. They sec as far ahead as a college diploma ; our hero sees only the next period. As mid-years draw near, he gets very pale and loses weight. He has difficulty in eating and can’t seem to keep the calories and vita¬ mins straightened out. “Coffee nerves?” you ask, when told of his symptoms. After seeing all the ad¬ vertising about “coffee nerves,” you are about to suggest that he try eating three cakes of Palm Buoy soap before meals. His complexion will assume a rosy out¬ look. He will sleep like a log, and the hits of feminine pulchritude will be astounded as he grows to be as husky as Atlas. How¬ ever, before you can blurt out this simple method of divine health and happiness, you are informed that he is terribly wor¬ ried about American History. He can’t recall whether Pocahontas discovered America in 1321 or 1770. He is indeed a pitiful sight! And so on again it goes! If it is nothing else he learns that his credit isn’t, so good, and he can’t borrow a nickel from one of his Shylockish classmates. He is on the detention list until he wonders whether he attends school to gain the heights of an education, or to languish in the bonds of detention under the scathing gaze of some teacher. I am at this point now. Shall I break under this gigantic strain? Shall I re¬ main in durance vile and continue my somewhat erroneous education as far as a diploma? Who knows? So until my ques¬ tions are answered, E shall continue to pile one day ' s education on top of another. A hopeless creature, hopelessly involved in the process of obtaining an education.

Beau Nash—Steven Libby and Howard Pence with their immaculate attire and fluent vocabularies have been accused of spending the most time on their personal appearance. Fussiest Girl—This honor goes to Doro¬ thy Lothrop. Biggest Grind — Malcolm Conner and Irene Breil are considered to be wearing off the roots of their hair by excessive in¬ tellectual activity. Yarn Spinners—The ability to weave fiction belongs to Steve Libby and Don Stevens, perhaps because they spend so THE FOUR CORNERS 29 much time together that they have inocu¬ lated each other. Steve has the edge on Don because lie can make less go farther. Day Dreamer—Elmer Verrill seems to build the most castles in Spain with Polly a close second. Favorite Sport—Skating and swimming seem to he most in favor, with baseball and basketball well represented in the vot¬ ing. Favorite Haunt—Only one admitted to being fond of home; the rest of the class favored the movies, Old Orchard, their auto, and a great variety of other spots. We Come Up Smiling — Teddy New¬ comb and Blondie Paulsen are our cham¬ pion gloom chasers for the boys; Irene Breil and Virginia Sanford are the best cure for the blues among the girls. Most Serious—Neal and Malcolm seem to see the least to laugh about; and would you believe it, Janet was chosen as our most serious girl. Early Birds—Neal and Arlene arrived a few years before most of us, so are en¬ titled to be called the class dignitaries. Squalls Ahead — Iniogene comes the nearest to needing rocking with a mere 15 years to her credit. Most Popular Boy and Girl—This en¬ viable distinction gOes to placid, smiling Teddy Newcomb with Blondie Paulsen runner-up. Irene Breil piled up the votes for the girls. Most Talented — Demosthenes Libby’s oratorical ability wins him this place; Irene Briel’s ability to handle a dozen jobs at once spots her as an executive of real merit. Hot Air Artist—No competition in this race. Steve Libby outdistanced his closest rival by a dozen votes. Even Steve himself recognized his own talent in this direction. Most Helpful Boy — “Polly” with his ever ready mechanical ability, managerial talent, stick-to-it-iveness and general will¬ ingness wins this most desirable title. Most Helpful Girl—Who could it be but Arlene, who shoulders all sorts of re¬ sponsibilities cheerfully and capably with her ever-ready smile. We’ll miss “Polly” and Arlene, our right-hand men. Best Athlete for Boys—Donnie Rawson holds this title with Teddy as runner-up. Best Girl Athlete — Ginnie Sanford and Frances Skillings tie for this honor, our athletic Siamese twins. Most Intellectual — Ted Newcomb and Malcolm Connor thumb their books the most, if the observations of their class¬ mates are correct; Irene was the uncon¬ tested choice for girls. Biggest Sleeper—Elmer Verrill, How¬ ard Pence and Alfred Moulton like to “hit the hay” best for the boys, but the girls must all be night hawks for not a single vote was cast for the gals. Biggest Eaters—Candor compels us to reveal that Arlene, Cappy and Ted come the nearest to “licking the platter clean.” 30 THE FOUR CORNERS O ur Clark Gable—Richard Frederick is accused of casting the most telling glances at the fair sex, but Howard Pence and Cappy Littlefield also have a leaning toward romance. Solitary Bliss—Imogcne and Arlene at present care the least for the masculine portion of the class: Connor and Burnell seem to be gun-shy for the boys. Lots of time yet for those fatal arrows! S. II.

POINT SUMMARY BOYS ' BASKETBALL Somewhat handicapped by the fact that the 1936-37 basketball squad was made up of only two veterans, D. Rawson, ’37, and F. Newcomb, ’37, Coach Hallett did a comparatively fine job with the boys in winning two of the ten league games played. During the season, several changes in the squads were made, due to scarlet fever Gordon Rawson contracted, and, in mid- season, Xormie Harmon ' s attack of ap¬ pendicitis. The two players were greatly missed during the latter part of the season, and everyone looks forward to their play¬ ing next season. The big game of the season was the final Gorham game held in the Scarboro gym. The highly praised Gorham team visited Scarboro with the sole intention of trim¬ ming us, and incidentally to carry off the divisional Triple C pennant, but was quite disappointed, as they suffered a 21-19 de¬ feat in the hands of the happy Scar- boronians. Coach Hallett looks forward to a fine team next year, as many of the second THE FOUR CORNERS 47 team ami most of the first team will be available for play.

Our first, team consisted of the following girls: Forwards—Frances Skillings, ’37; Ellen Jensen, ' 38; Geneva Plowman, ' 3S; and Christine Gantnier, ’39. Centers — Letitia Leary. ’38; Harriet Snow, ’38; and Jeanette Johnson, ’38. Guards—Vir¬ ginia Sanford, ’37; Elva Pooler, ’3S (cap¬ tain) ; Mary Hewcomb, ’39; Edith Stan¬ ford, ' 39; and Helene Howatt, ’3S.

This year only two girls will In? lost by graduation, which means that the 1937- 1938 girls’ basketball team should be a successful one. The girls who will gradu¬ ate are one guard, Virginia Sanford, and one forward, Frances Skillings. Girls who will receive letters this year are Elva Pooler, ’38 (captain) ; Virginia Sanford, ’37 ; Frances Skillings, ’37; Geneva Plowman, ’38; Ellen Jensen, ’38; Jeanette Johnson, ’3S; Harriet Snow, ’38; Helene Howatt, ’38; and Imogene Douglass, ’37 (manager).

IXTEBCLASS BASKETBALL GaMES Several interclass basketball games were held afternoons this winter, and a large amount of enthusiasm was created by the student body. Geneva Plowman. Ellen Jensen, Elva Pooler. Frances Skillings. TILE FOUL CORNERS 51 The scores were generally close enough to be interesting, proving the fact that age and size are unimportant factors in the winning of a basketball game. The play-off game between the Seniors ami Freshmen was played at an assembly period, and in spite of the fact that the Freshmen won by a large score, the audi¬ ence was interested until the final whistle was blown.

The Y. M. C. A. publicity director, our old and genial friend, Mr. Chester R. Hall, planned three dates for the carnival, but was forced to postpone each one until finally it was decided that there would be no carnival in the league this winter. INDOOR TRACK The tenth annual indoor Triple C track meet for boys was held at the Portland Y. M. C. A. late in March. Scarboro had a very good chance of win¬ ning until bad luck in two events put us out of the running. At the time of our misfortune, Falmouth burst forth with a scoring spree to beat the Scarboronians in points 26% to IS 1 3 5 }. Two Scarboro boys won firsts in the events: D. Rawson, ’37, in the high jump, and W. Gower, ’38, in the 20-yard dash. Computations: Rope Climb—Won by Chadbourne (N. Y. A.); second, Wilson (Falmouth); third, Fielding (Scarboro). Time, 10$ seconds.

It is hoped that some time in the very near future Soarboro will sally forth with a really good baseball team. However, several informal games wore played with Gorham and Windham High Schools, and we all hope for a berth in the league soon. WEARERS OF THE “S” IN SCARBORO HIGH Rawson. ' 7 Mitchell, ' 3b Pence.

ALUMNI BANQUET One hundred and sixty were present at the annual alumni banquet which was held at the Dunseroft in Dunstan on June S, 1936. Earle Willman was the toastmaster. The Harriet Hurlbert Heald plaque was won by the class of 1904. The alumni cash awards were presented to Virginia A. Bennett and George H. Stanford. The following were voted as officers of the association: President, Joseph Knight; Vice-President, Mrs. Emile Jannelle; Secretary, Mrs. Rachael S. Lyons; and Treasurer, Norman Thurston. The association has a scholarship fund in which they have about one hundred and thirty dollars. This money was earned by sponsoring beano parties, whist parties, a dance and an amateur show. Recently they held a donkey basketball game at which they netted about twenty-five dol¬ lars. After the banquet and speeches, danc¬ ing was enjoyed.

Tobani Trio Moderna ALUMNI AWARDS The Alumni Award, instituted in 1031, is an act of the Alumni Association “to encourage the development in American¬ ism, character, citizenship and community spirit. The boy and girl of the Senior Class, who. by excelling in those points, has caused the honored name of Searboro High School to be placed in the position to receive the most favorable and wide¬ spread attention, shall receive such awards at the annual Alumni Banquet.” A TRIP TO EXCHANGELAND “Contact!” The propeller of our red and white mon¬ oplane, The Four Corners, whirs noisily and soon we arc taxiing with increasing speed over the runway of the Scarboro Airport. We circle over the marshes as we gain altitude. 1 look down on the green world as it basks in the sunshine of a beau¬ tiful spring morning. Can that little doll house, far below, he the building where I have spent the past four years, storing up oodles of concentrated math and — enough of that! Is not this the day when I, the Exchange Editor of The Four Corners, am to take an aerial flight to other places of learning, whose yearbooks have served to wile away many a pleasant hour as I have read through their interesting pages ? What? Is that the Cumberland Mills chimney? Why, we are already at West¬ brook! Where’s bomb number one? Ah, here it is, and I parachute this message to Westbrook High: “Welcome to our ex¬ change list, The Blue and White. You have an excellent literary department and your many cuts make for a very interest¬ ing book.” And now we circle over the busy city of Portland. Let’s sec, have we an exchange here? Oh, yes, Northeastern Business Col¬ lege. And I drop this note in bomb num¬ ber two. “Dear Annual: Our school is very glad to have you join our exchange list. We hope von will continue. Many of our Alumni are attending your college. Good luck to them and you.” And now we spin over the beautiful coastline of Falmouth Foreside and, far below, sight the new Falmouth High School building. How appropriate tbe name of your annual, The Crest , situated as you are on the top of a hill overlooking Casco Bay. Here’s bomb number three: “Our student body reads your yearbook more than any other, probably because we contact you so much in outside activities. Your material is most interesting and your honor roll is a grand idea. Come again!” Across country to Windham and to one of our oldest exchanges, The Windonian. This message to you: “Your book is com¬ plete but as I am quite a joker myself I would enjoy reading more jokes in your columns. Your Activities Period is giving your school lots of publicity. I wish I could drop down and enjoy one of these periods with you.” il — ——- BHHhMNhMImHHHHHe! 60 THE FOUR CORNERS A few minutes of flying and Sebago Lake comes to view. Here’s bomb number five for Standish High: “Your cover de¬ sign, Crimson Rambler, is unique. What athletic teams your boys do have! Why not give some space to the athletic activities of your girls ? We would like to hear what they are doing. Remember us next year.” And now I am flying into a region strange to me and I feel that I need a pilot—oh, yes, here is one— The Pilot of Mechanic Falls High. “Your Pilot surely leads the way in many respects. The many cuts add much to a paper which needs few improvements.” A few miles more and we circle over a cluster of attractive buildings. Why, it’s Hebron Academy, and that studious young chap hurrying along the walk with a pile of books under his arm is none other than Delrnar Shaw, Scarboro, ' 36. How the old order changetli! I must surely bomb him. Here goes! “Delrnar, make sure that the periodical. The Hebronian, comes to us regularly. Its literarv material is won¬ derful.” ' We turn south again and shortly are over the twin towns. Norway and South Paris. Somehow or other, we have missed The Caduceus and The Chronicle this year. A little town comes into view which must be West Paris, the home of The Nautilus. Zip! Another parachute opens bearing this message: “Yours is one of the best mimeographed yearbooks I have ever seen. The headings are outstanding. What a lot of painstaking work in your pages. Congratulations!” Another group of school buildings sur¬ rounded by a huge campus tells me that we are at Bethel, home of The Academy Herald. “Your snapshots add much to your paper, which is a welcomed addition to our collection. I hope that you won’t forget us next year.” Now we swing around and head for Bridgton. We speed over a beautiful countryside, across Long Lake, into a re¬ gion so popular as a summer resort. Here ' s bomb number ten for The Corona: “Congratulations on a well-arranged an¬ nual. May you continue on our exchange list.” Before I realize it, we are down in York County and Limerick comes into view. Let ' s see, what is my message to The So- kokis? Oh, yes. “You have some fine short stories. Be sure and send us your next number.” My, how time and The Four Corners have flown! I have but one bomb left and that for The Red and White of Sanford High. And here we are above Plushtown. And here goes my last parachute. “Yours is the only monthly periodical among our exchanges. You cover the various activi¬ ties of your school very well. I have par¬ ticularly enjoyed your personal column.” As we speed homeward on the last lap of our journey, I think of the two other an¬ nuals which we have received this year, The Sachem of Old Town High and The Passamaciuoddy Oracle of Eastport High, two of the finest yearbooks of all our ex¬ changes. Some day I intend to pay them a flying visit and—what’s that, pilot? We’re out of gas? Oh me, oh my! What’ll we do? What? You say we can glide on¬ to the runway of the Scarboro Airport? Praises be! And my heart slowly returns to its normal position as we glide swiftly and surely to the landing field of our start¬ ing point—a perfect three-point landing.

It has a stu¬ dent body of six hundred and a faculty of fifty professors and instructors. It pos¬ sesses a very largo library and well equipped buildings for comprehensive study and research work located on a com¬ pactly laid-out campus in the heart of the city.” Jocelyn Shaw says: “Oak Grove Semi¬ nary is located in Vassalboro, a small town between Waterville and Augusta. The daily routine is Chapel at S.00 o’clock; classes begin at 8.15 and run until 12.30. The afternoon activities arc horseback rid¬ ing, hockey, basketball, tennis, etc. Study hours at night are from 7.00 to 9.00 o’clock.” Annie Ferguson writes us about her education at Boston University. Sbc says; “I am now a Senior at Boston University which is a professional school for teachers. T shall get my Bachelor of Science Degree in June.” Martha Libby tells us about Westbrook Junior College. “Westbrook Junior Col¬ lege is an ideal place for combining social life with academic work. In the Physical Education Department many sports arc taught, such as tennis, basketball, bowling and equitation.” Here’s Margaret Gantnicr at Aroostook State Normal School. “Aroostook State Normal School, located in Presque Isle, has an enrollment of forty-five men and eighty-four women. The buildings consist of normal school, girls’ and boys’ dormi¬ tories and a large, modern training school. The school courses and outside activities form the ‘gateway to good teaching’.” Delmar Shaw, Jr., writes from Hebron. “Hebron Academy is recognized as the best preparatory school in the State. The work is of the same type as that of a high school, but it is of much higher quality and the student is well prepared for col¬ lege when he finishes the course.” Here’s Alinon Huff. “I am enrolled in the two-vear Agricultural Course at the University of Maine. I find the subjects interesting and very practical for one who wishes to he a farmer. Of course, I like the social side of college life very much, especially athletics.” Now comes Alan Paine and Gorham Normal School. “I attend the Gorham Nor¬ mal School, which is an institution for the training of teachers. The tuition is fifty dollars for State residents. There arc two courses hero for young men, a Junior High Course and an Industrial Arts Course. There arc also such sports as cross-country, basketball, baseball, and tennis. It is a fine school and college credit is given for school work here.” Main Office 315 PARK AVENUE Dial 2-19S6 Branch Office 122 HIGH STREET Dial 2-5871 $ j PORTLAND LEHIGH FUEL CO., INC. 1 COAL - COKE - FUELOILS - WOOD i -=- S | Apparel and Accessories for Women and Children “A Delightful Place in which to Shop” OWEN, MOORE’S GREENACRES MARKET MEATS and GROCERIES MARKSON BROS.
