In their anxiety to procure work, they do not stop to consider that if they ad¬ vance themselves further in school, they can secure better jobs, higher wages, and professional work. If these points were carefully considered, less students would make the foolish statements of “I ' m old enough to work. I don ' t want to go to school any more.” Of what value then is education ? It is the opening of the doors of opportunity for old and young alike. It is the basis upon which successful business, profession, so¬ ciety, fine arts, and science exist. Educa¬ tion is truly a stepping stone to the future. Let us apply education to successful business. Could this success come through other than education and specialization? Xo! Each year scores of people go into the business world to fail or succeed, ac¬ cording to the amount of education and business training they have received. To the most poorly equipped even an opening is denied, for no one wishes to do business with an uneducated, ill-fitted person. Xow consider the professions through the eyes of education. For example, when we employ a doctor or a lawyer to aid us, we desire someone who understands his business. This would be impossible in the case of a poorly trained, partially educated person. A person in the latter class would be of no advantage to us. Going from professional to social life, what do we see? Here we find that eduea- THE FOUR CORNERS tion often brings to light great leaders in community life who, if not educated, might remain in the background indefi¬ nitely. Then, again, society is affected by the way a person conducts himself in actions, manners, method of self-expres¬ sion, and topics for conversation. We have seen the effect of education on a person ' s social life; now let us glimpse its effect on his advanced cultural life. By this is meant an appreciation of, or talent for painting, languages, music, and writ¬ ing. Without education a master painter could not have acquired his beauty of touch, tone, or finesse. Iiis work would be roughly finished, would lack expression and proper blending of color. But education has taken these paintings and polished them so that today there has been passed down to us through the ages, priceless per¬ fections of art. This self-same example could be applied to every phase of culture known to man. Education is the rule of perfection. Again I repeat that we little appreciate the vast opportunities at our command in the form of high schools, academies, col¬ leges, and universities. One cannot place too high a value on education. E. L. Lamb, ’88. HOW A SCHOOL PAPER BENEFITS A SCHOOL The school paper informs those who have been to school of what is going on in the school and the changes that have taken place in the last few years. It is a good way of advertising the school and its activities, such as prize speaking, 4-tI clubs, sports and organiza¬ tions. If someone were thinking about go¬ ing to your school, they would have some idea of what it is like and what is done there. 7 It gives the pupils who have to work and who do not take part in the various activi¬ ties a chance to read about their school and its doings. Many of the stories of the pu¬ pils are published, also poems and coming events of the year. I believe that there should be more ef¬ fort put into publishing a school paper. It should be published at least every three or four months in the year and one copy sent to each of the alumni, and also one given to each of the pupils in the school at the present time. K. Dolloff, ’40. EARNING SCHOOL CREDITS Usually the easiest way to get the re¬ quired “Sixteen” credits necessary for graduation is to merely pass four subjects each year. Although most of us merely get by, there are some who would like to get more credit than is necessary to grad¬ uate. There are several ways of obtaining extra credits. One way is by public speaking contests, another way is by physical education and 4-H clubs. Some of us however may not be adapted for these activities, or we may not like these three ways of earning extra credits. In public speaking the person who works for two or three weeks preparing for his speech or oration gets a quarter of a credit for his work. In basketball we work all winter; three days a week and sometimes more and what do we get? We get only the honor and nothing more. I personally think that the fellow who practices hard all winter is entitled to as much credit, if not more than the one who speaks only a short piece, possibly ten minutes long, before an audience. 8 THE FOUR CORNERS I challenge anyone of you to tell me any one subject in the school that we work any harder in, and still we receive no credits for all our time and work. My personal opinion is that we should receive credit for any sport in which we put in the necessary amount of time and work. Borman Harmon, 3S. SPORTSMANSHIP How early in our lives this characteris¬ tic becomes a very necessary asset. We all probably recall our first lesson on being a good sport. That first time when we had to give up a cherished toy to a visiting cousin, or learned that a next door play¬ mate was better in checkers or dominoes. A tumble on the skating pond or a fum¬ ble while participating in a school game soon teaches us that we must be able to “take it” to be a “good sport”. Sports in the high schools and colleges have reached a high peak, as evidenced by their popularity. Participation in these various activities create a strong character and personality which in themselves help to make friends. Friends, good friends, are essential to our happiness. Good sportsmanship stays with one longer than just through the school days. It follows one into his business career as well as into his home and to his family. The girl or boy who shows outstanding sportsmanship helps to reflect the integrity of his parents. This one quality shows the good bringing up, the character, as well as the developed personality of the indi¬ vidual. Everyone should play the game—win or lose—and try to be a better sport than the other fellow. Jeanette Johnson, 38. SENIOR PERISCOPE William James Fielding, Jr. “Billy Born November 23, 1920.

Her lips were saying those three wonder¬ ful words I had waited so long to hear. I eonld not believe it, yet it was true. Again she said, fulfilling the dream of mv life, “Xo history assignment.” The Seven Wonders of the Sophomores 1. I wonder if that is right. 2. I wonder what the assignment is. 3. I wonder if the teacher will call for it tomorrow. 4. I wonder if I can bluff it. 5. I wonder what I’m supposed to do next. 0. T wonder if 1 can drop it and take some¬ thing else. 7.

Everyone is wondering what became of the Teddy Bear mascot of the girls basket¬ ball team. There is a school rule which says that boys and girls may not sit together, but a certain junior boy and senior girl find it just as easy to stand and talk. Well, now that spring has come, ro¬ mances seem to spring up with the grass. First, it ' s a certain blond sophomore and a cute little junior. Hut when the curly- haired drummer and his little red-headed drum major get together, look out! And speaking of fashion news—the boys are painting their nails this year. If you don ' t believe it, take a look at the mani¬ cures of a good-l ooking junior and a curly- haired sophomore boy. The saucy little redhead Is feeling all alone. The nice, attractive senior Took a certain brunette home. M. M., 40 (through Lab door to P. K., who was looking intently through the mi¬ croscope) : “Anybody in there ? P. K., ' 38: “Yes. Ur. Higgins is.” Police Officer: “Why is your car painted red on one side and blue on the other ?” R. W.. ' 3S: “It ' s a bright idea of mine. I like to hear the witnesses contradict one another.” MissM. (in junior business): “What does proxy mean ?” T. G., ’40: “Is that when they speak of a proxy blonde ?” Mrs. L. (in European history) : “What ' s a Grecian urn?” D. C., ’30: “Depends on what he does.” Miss H. (serving lima beans to Mr. S.) : “These are some beans I canned myself.” Mr. S.: “Is that so ? They’re good just the same.” THE FOUR CORNERS 17 Editor: “This line? is devoted to Phillip.” Reader: “To Phillip who?” Editor: “To Phillip Space.” School- 1 )a y I .a m k n tat ions T hird period now is ended. The bell has just been rung, It’s time to settle down, because Fourth period has begun. Two fingers flash into the air, Their owner looks confused; Guess he forgot to listen When the lesson was reviewed. He hastens to his classmate, Who knows his lesson well, To ask, “Where did the Pilgrims go, And who was William Tell?” Around the room the girls all sit, A-chewing cn their gum; Studying just can’t be endured Without this bit of fun. Don ' t scold us, please, dear teacher, It really does no harm; And as a check on whispering, Gum surely is a charm. Up goes someone’s desk cover, That lunch sure does look good; I’m starved, thinks this poor Junior, Now if I only could— And from his lunch box he extracts An apple, round and ripe; The teacher isn’t looking now. So why not take a bite? Now what’s that noise behind me? This apple tastes all sour. The teacher!—now I’m in for it; “Detention, half an hour!” Again the room seems quiet, This French seems clear as mud. Why doesn’t something happen? Golly! what’s that thud? A note for me I bet ya; Now who can that be from? Maybe—but no, it’s not for me. I’ll pass it right along. What next, I wonder in despair. When suddenly I hear My name in a loud whisper Prom somewhere in the rear. “I say,” the voice is calling, “Are you going out tonight?” E ut no, I can ' t go out, because I’ve got a “pome” to write. My pencil’s getting duller, Guess I’ll go sharpen it; I’ll throw this hunk of paper first And see what I can hit. Whiz-bang—it hit her—she would yell! The teacher’s good and sore; He comes up to my desk and roars, Detention, one hour more!” I’d better start to settle down, And study for awhile, An hour and a half detention Can hardly make me smile. So what’s a feller gonna do? It seems he’s gotta be The teacher’s pet, or he won’t pass. The bell—Ah, woe is me! Miss Hutchins (showing picture “The Frieze of the Prophets”) : “What is the name of this picture V Freshman H. E. girl: “The Frozen Prophet.” The difference between a girl chewing her gum and a cow chewing her cud is that the cow generally looks thoughtful. S. If. S.

Some of these are cooking, sewing, poul¬ try, gardens, and pig raising. We have four student leaders in the clubs. A dough¬ boys’ club has again been formed under the leadership of Richard Pence. We are very proud of Jeanette Johnson, who, as state dressmaking champion, was a dele¬ gate to the National 4-H Congress in Chicago. An “X” club was formed here on Decem¬ ber 1, 1937. Officers were elected as follows: President, Norman Hannon; Vice-President, Elwood Mitchell; Secre¬ tary-Treasurer, Percy Knight; Faculty Advisor, Mr. Higgins. All boys who have won a letter may become members. There are nine charter members and several more yet to be voted in. Recently a Stamp Club was started un¬ der the leadership of Mr. Hallett. Moot¬ ings are held every two weeks. There are ten members in all, with the following as officers: President, Richard Woodward; Vice-President, Neils Johnson ; Secretary- Treasurer, Kenneth Libby. This club has many purposes. Among them are: (1) To promote the hobby of stamp collecting and to build up the individual albums in the club; (2) To learn about some of the tech¬ nical processes connected with stamps and how to take proper care of the stamps; (3) To learn the monetary value of stamps and also how to get the most edu¬ cationally out of stamp collecting. Thk Home Economics Dkuautment The following is an account of the year s activities of the Home Economics Depart¬ ment under the leadership of Doris E. I hitch ins: Throughout the first few weeks of school this department canned over six hundred jars of the various kinds of fruit, vege¬ tables. pickles, and jellies. Then, too, the Sophomore and Junior girls, who are en¬ gaged in this course, entertained the Fresh¬ man girls at a picnic at Winnocks Neck. Also, in this brief period, curtains were made for the eighth grade room, which is now in the high school building. During the month of November the girls aided in the production of the Senior Drama by making curtains for the stage and by tying programs. Just, before Thanksgiving the girls packed and do¬ nated Thanksgiving baskets for the poor. To complete the month the Freshman girls, one evening served supper to the Sophomores and Juniors, after which they gathered and elected officers for their Home Economies Club. To start the new month of December, the department served dinner to the school board and the teach ers. There were forty- seven present. In about the middle of the month the c’r ' s sponsored an assembly composed of music and short sketches. Shortly after th’s, tea was served to the Civic League. By this time the round of Christmas activities was put in motion. Christmas cards which were made by the manual training class were sold, under¬ clothing was made, dolls were dressed, mit¬ tens for the poor were purchased, and baskets packed. All this to lx contributed toward making some poor children a little happier. Closely following these activities, the Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior girls gave a mother ' s and daughter s party. At the close of a most eventful month dinner was served to the Cumberland County -4-11 leaders. There were approxi¬ mately forty-five present. January was a short month, starttnl by the giving of a beano and whist party and brought to a close by a speech from the leader. Miss Hutchins, at tin teachers’ convention. In February the girls served lunch to tin school board and to Mr. Heald. Also during this month a child ' s party was given, in which all came dressed as chil¬ dren. A good time was enjoyed by every¬ one. Now coming to the current month of March, the department in cooperation with tin ' doughboys served a public dinner to over one hundred people. Next an assem¬ bly in the form of a “Mock Town Meet¬ ing was given. Lastly the girls all joined in to further the spring cleaning of the Home Economics rooms. Much has been done to improve the con¬ ditions of this very essential department. There has been purchased for the lunch slide, plates, glasses, and sherbet dishes enough to serve fifty people. The hard walls and ceiling of the kitchen have been painted and the floor refinished. Also dish close ts have been redecorated and fur- THE FOUR CORNERS 29 ntailed with hooks for cups. In all there has been earned and spent about $ 100 . 00 . In addition to all of this, the Freshman girls have taken entire charge of the serv¬ ing of noon lunches to the students. This concludes the Home Economics activities up until the present date. Many plans have been laid for spring and sum¬ mer, and as we look forward we endeavor to see success for them all. THE MESSAGE OF THE VIOLIN The lights from the large house on the avenue shone forth cheerily. It was Christmas Eve, and every house was dec¬ orated for the occasion. That is, every house but one. M r. .1 acques never dec¬ orated for Christmas. Mr. Jacques never did any of the things that other folks did. There were many stories as to what made Mr. Jacques so bitter, but nobody knew the true reason. Pierre and Margot were wondering about Mr. Jacques as they hurried along the avenue. Ordinarily they would have been afraid to be out alone in the dark, especially on the avenue, where so many things happened. But tonight was Christ¬ mas Eve. and the avenue was well lighted. Then, too, Pierre and Margot were on a special mission tonight. Pierre was on his way to play the Christmas carols beneath Mr. Jacques window. Every year Pierre serenaded Mr. Jacques, and Margot ac¬ companied him. Their mother had said that he was a very lonely mail and would probably enjoy the music. Mr. Jacques had never said “Thank you. ' had never even let them know that he had heard tlu carols, yet somehow Pierre felt that his music was appreciated. All too soon Pierre and Margot found themselves turning into the driveway which led to the big white house. As always, the house was in total darkness except for a solitary candle which shone from a lower window. Beneath this window Pierre and Mar¬ got stopped. Pierre laid down liis violin case and took out his violin. It was an old violin—one which had seen much use— but Pierre loved it because it was the only violin he had ever used. His mother had given it to him on his sixth birthday. It had been his father ' s, she had told him, and she would like to have him learn to play it. This had been no task for Pierre, and he had practised every day for four years. When the money could possibly be spared, he had been allowed to go to the master in the village for a few lessons. In this way Pierre had learned to play. Pierre was eleven now and Margot was nine. Their mother worked hard to keep them fed and clothed. The village school was too far away for them to attend, but she had taught them to read and write, and to understand something of figures. She tried to make her children happy at home, and her one desire was for Pierre to be¬ come a great violinist. Margot loved to hear Pierre play. To¬ night she seated herself on the violin case and watched as Pierre raised the violin to his chin. A lump rose in her throat as he started to play. The music was so beau¬ tiful ! Why didn’t Mr. Jacques at least show Pierre in some way that lie enjoyed the music? “Silent night, holy night . . . 39 THE FOUR CORNERS 31 she hummed softly, as she watched the candle in the window flicker. Was it her imagination, or— Xo, the window actu¬ ally was being’ raised, and with the breeze, the candle flickered and went out. But Pierre played on, oblivious of the raised window, of Margot and of the utter darkness about him. II is soul was in his music. As the last notes of the Christmas carol were carried away on the breeze, Pierre was brought to his senses by a voice from somewhere behind hint. It was a deep voice but a kind one. As Pierre turned he saw a man standing in the doorway. “Come inside, my boy, and get warm. I want to have a talk with you.” Pierre and -Margot followed the man into the house, through a hall, and into a large room, which, to their surprise, was well furnished and cheerful. A fire burned brightly in the large fireplace, and a low chair was drawn up before the fire. Mr. Jacques seated himself in the chair and motioned to the children to sit down beside him. Pierre still held his violin in his hand, while Margot carried the empty case. She laid it down upon the floor and seated herself on it. “Tell me, where did you learn to play a violin like that?” Mr. Jacques said to Pierre. Pierre told him how he had learned to play and of the few lessons lie had taken. Mr. Jacques looked thoughtfully into the fire and then said, “Why did you come here to play for me tonight ?” “Because Mother said you were lone¬ some, and I thought that a little music might cheer you up. Besides, everyone should be happy on Christmas Eve.” “You remind me so much of my own boy Karl. He played the violin, too. If I had not been so selfish, my boy might have been a great musician today. Ah—but that is a long story.” “Oh, tell us the story!” burst, forth Afar- got. “Tell us about Karl! Mr. Jacques’ eyes searched the eager little faces turned to his. What sweet honest little faces they were! They would never tell his secret. “You must never repeat this story,” lie said, and after the children had nodded, lie continued, “Karl was an only child, and his mother and I both adored him. He was always very musical, and when he was old enough, lie studied the violin. Karl didn’t like school, but his mother insisted that lie attend college. So lie started college, but every week a letter came from him say¬ ing that he was tired of school and wanted to come home to study music. But somehow his mother’s letters seemed to make him feel ashamed and he always stayed. In the middle of his first year in col¬ lege, his mother died, and after the funeral he would not go back to school. Instead lie went to the city to study with Professor Franco. While he was there, he met a girl whom he wished to marry, but she was a peasant girl with no social standing. I told him that if he married her L would stop his allowance. However, he married her just the same and went to live with her family. But the work on a farm was too hard for him, and four years later he died. Since then I have tried to find his wife and children, but I have been unsuccessful.” His eyes were misty when lie had fin¬ ished, and both children sat very still, watching him. Finally Pierre spoke. “Where did Karl learn to play, Air. J acques ?” There was silence for some time, then Air. Jacques said softly, “I taught him . . . . until he grew up, then he felt that he knew more about it than I did, so I let. him study with Professor Franco. You see, when I was younger, 1 taught violin lessons, but I never could play well, be- 32 THE FOUR CORNERS cause 1 lacked the soul of a true musi¬ cian. But my boy was born with that which L lacked, and he threw it all away.” “But. Pierre has the soul! Pierre has it! Oh, Mr. Jacques, he ' ll be famous some day, won ' t he?” Little Margot could be still no longer. Her brother must have his chance. “Yes, dear, Pierre has the soul. Five years passed away . . . live wonder¬ ful years for Pierre, during which he has spent most of his time with Mr. Jacques. The old man seemed happy once more, and Pierre knew that he had been living- in the past, treating Pierre as he would like to have treated his own son. One night when Mother and Margot had come to the big white house to dinner, Mother and Mr. Jacques had had a long talk to¬ gether, and the next day Mother, Margot, and Pierre came to live with Mr. Jacques. Then Pierre and Margot had nice clothes, and went to school like other children. But the years had fairly flown, and next week Pierre would be sixteen. On this day Pierre was going to be a very happy boy. for he was to play before an audience for the first time. Professor Franco, now a very old man, was giving his last perform¬ ance at the beautiful Lafayette Theater, and Pierre was to be a guest performer. Pierre had a new suit for the occasion, a dark blue suit with long trousers—his first long trousers. On the morning of his birthday. Mother, Margot, Pierre, and Mr. Jacques were gathered in the living room. Mr. Jacques left the room a moment, and returned with a shiny new violin case in his hand, which he passed to Pierre. “Before you open it,” he said, “I must tell you this. I bought this violin for Karl, and I was going to give it to him when he made his first public appearance. But that time never came, so today 1 am going to give it to the son of mv son. ' Pierre and Margot looked at him blankly, and he continued. “os, Pierre, your father was my son, and you are my grandson. I discovered this when 1 first saw your mother at dinner that night. But we decided not to tell you until now, lest you would refuse help from your grand¬ father.” It was with a happy heart that Pierre went to the tneater that night. The theater was tilled to overflowing with people who came to see and hear the last performance of Professor Franco, little dreaming that they were also attending the first perform¬ ance of one who would carry on where the great Professor was leaving off. When the curtain rose and Pierre came upon the stage, he felt very small indeed. How disappointed Mr. Jacques would be if he failed. Blit as he raised his iolin to play, all thoughts of fear vanished. The last strains of music died and the curtain fell. For some minutes there was silence — breathless silence. Then the theater resounded with heartfelt applause. Pierre knew that he had touched the souls of his audience. Ellex Jexsex, ’38. BOOKS Eooks are keys to wisdom’s treasure. Books are gates to lands of pleasure, Books are paths that upward lead, Eooks are Friends. Come, let us read. Books unlock the gates through which we pass onto the paths that lead to wisdom, romance, and adventure. We read of voy¬ ages, travels, histories of wars, and victori¬ ous fightings. They feed the hungry soul and teach the art of being kind; link today and yesterday, and chase away with a THE FOUR CORNERS 33 smile the sighs of care. Books are (lie food of youth, the pleasure of old age, and a de¬ light at home and abroad. Some books are our servants; they run errands for us; they bring us information, tell us news, and keep us up to date; they equip us for trade. But the Great Books are not our slaves, they are our masters; we sit at their feet and learn. “Look. they say, and looking, we snatch new significance. “Consider, they say, and considering, we are captured by a new truth and our spir¬ itual power is multiplied. Life is made by ideas and ideals. Except from living per¬ sons there is no better way of acquiring these than from books. Charles Kingsley once said, “Save a living man there is nothing so wonderful as a book.” Books are like the windows of a great tower. They let in light. Every life is a growing tower, put up stone by stone. The higher it grows the darker it gets, unless we put windows here and there to let in the light. That is what a book does to a life. Tt lets a wonderful light into a dark place. We must read. . . . We must urge others to read .... not read to contradict and con¬ fute, nor to believe or take for granted, but to weigh and consider. A hook is fre¬ quently a turning point in the life of a hoy or girl. A hook will awaken a soul as will nothing .else. To divert yourself from a trouble — some fancy — turn to books — they always receive you with the same kindness. Ida 0. Nelson , ’30. A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A WAITRESS Betty Jane Carr sat up in bed, reached for the lever of the alarm clock, shut it off, then snuggled back under the blanket. “Betty Jane, Betty Jane,” called her mother, “this is your early morning and it ' s already 0.30.” “Yup,” came the sleepy reply, but Betty Jane still slept on. Her mother shook her, and after another try, Betty climbed out of bed though still in the depths of slumberland. When she stepped under the shower she suddenly awoke, ‘ Bit, wasn’t that water cold!” After the shower she took one look in the mirror (one was enough). Three of her curlers had come out. in the night, and her hair was hanging in strings. “Well, she’d have to curl it on the iron even if the hair dresser did say it wasn’t good.” Next was her uniform. She slipped it carefully over her head so as not. to rumple the curls. “What! a button gone???” Finally her mother got it, sewed on, and Betty started. “Your shoes aren’t tied,” called her mother. She stooped to tie them and in her haste tugged too hard and the lacing broke. “Curses, first thing in the morn¬ ing, too.” She arrived at work just three-quarters of an hour late. The dining room was sup¬ posed to open at seven o’cdock. The other morning girls were late, too, so the oranges hadn’t been juiced. Betty Jane got out (be juicer and turned to the refrigerator for the oranges. There weren’t any ! “Oranges up,” she veiled at the kitchen boy, but lie was too busy reading the morn¬ ing paper, so she had to got them herself. By the time she got back, the bead wait¬ ress said, “Two in a room.” Betty got the “set. ups” and started. “Someone else would have to juice the oranges! What a break! Two women! They never eat much.” THE FOUR CORNERS 54 ‘‘Prunes, toast, and coffee.” “Y es’rn.” After die bad tbem served, s!ie weni l ack lo the orange juice, but anollur girl had started so she decided to sweep tlu floor of the main dining room, but on her arrived at the broom closet she found that the chamber maids bad borrowed them.

Everything went smoothly until she took in the eggs. “Huh.” growled the handsome gentlemen. these are just op¬ posite from what 1 ordered 1 Do you call these soft and turned V 9 Betty meekly replied, Pm sorry ’ and proceeded to the kitchen. After taking the eggs twice more, the man was satisfied and his bride very much embarrassed! A party of five came in which was also Betty’s. They all ordered orange juice and toast. “Gee, that will be easy,” thought Betty. But when she got to the refriger¬ ator, the orange jirce was all gone so she started to squeeze some more oranges. She was on the last when the kitchen boy, while making coffee, hit the tray, and over went the four glasses!!! “Would those doors ever close V 9 When the noon girls came oil, the morn¬ ing girls were still working. One of them stopped by Betty who was counting dirty linen. “How much did you make this morning.

Slu phuuicd to go straight to bed, hut before she goi into the house some of her friends called and wanted her to go swimming. “Oh. wouldn ' t the water feel good today! she thought. “Yes, I ' ll go,” she said enthusi¬ astically. The lake was about sixty miles away and could easily he reached in an hour and a half. They swam, took some pictures and went for a boat ride. “Gosh, if only Betty didn ' t have to go to work, we could stay up and cook our supper on the rocks!” suggested someone. “Yes,” said Betty, “and that reminds me it ' s three thirty, and I have to he at work at six thirty.” They were about half way home, and they ran out of gas! The nearest station was two miles. Betty got home at just six thirty. Her mother had sensed what had happened and so had her things all ready. When she got to work, the head waitress had just seated two parties in her station ! Around seven thirty (the busiest hour of the day) Betty Jane was carrying out a tray loaded with dirty dishes. The cap to a bottle of A-l sauce hadn ' t been put on securely. As she picked up the tray, the cap fell off. the bottle tipped over, and A-l sauce went the whole length of Betty’s uniform and all over her shoes! Her first thought was “What will I do?” but her second was, “Since this happened, per¬ haps 1 11 have to go home!” No such luck! The head waitress found her a clean uni- TTIE FOUR CORNERS 35 form and cleaned her shoes. So Betty Jane started out again. It was terrib y busy, as the races were on at a nearby race track. Betty fairly ran all the evening. Of course, it was her late night! That was the only thing wrong with having an afternoon oil’. “Four in the corner,” someone said. Betty hurried to get the “set ups.” Before she got their order, they sat another four down for her. What a rush ! “Two, whispered the assistant head waitress, so sweetly that Betty fairly boiled. Then she turned back to her first party. “Gingerale? Yes, sir.” The other party was ready for dessert! Hurrying down the dining room between rows of tables, a man in someone else’s party cried, “Hey, little girl, get me a package of cigarettes, Luckies!” When she came back lie said, “Thanks, keep the change.” Betty’s eyes almost popped out. “Did he mean it?” lie had given her eighty cents just for getting him a package of cigarettes! “Some people were nice, weren’t they?” With new courage she started off again for the dessert. When she started to pour the cream, she found the pitcher was empty! So she be¬ gan to pour the coffee. “The coffee is out!” she cried to the chef. “Would nine o’clock never come ?” She didn’t get another party for awhile, but she was pretty busy still. “Oh. yes, she forgot to make out that man’s check.” “Here you are, sir. Thank you, come again.” She started to clear off the table. Well, of all the nerve 1 Fifteen cents for four people! People like that hadn’t ought to cat! Just live minutes of nine and only one party to go and one table to clear! “I ought to get out early tonight,” she thought. She decided to go out into the kitchen. As she went through the door, she turned just in time to see a party of eight come through the door!! “I can’t stand that,” she thought to herself, and ran into one of the private rooms and hid behind the buffet. But in a minute she heard the soft footfalls of the head wait¬ ress, so she stood up trying to look non¬ chalant. “Eight in 1) room,” she said, “sor- r yyyyyyyy” and her voice trailed off. “Why do people want to eat at this time of night ? I should think they’d never get to sleep,” she thought disgustedly. She got the “set ups,” but didn’t hurry, and was taking their order inside of fifteen minutes. “Yes. Eight specials. Steamers and broiled live lobsters,” she gave the order to the chef. He was disgusted, too. “Veil, vous lief to vait for de steamers.” So she waited! After about a thousand catastrophies, the party finally filed out and Betty started to clean off the table, so tired she could hardly move. Then she saw some¬ thing which made her eyes almost pop out of her head! “Five dollars!!!” she said out loud. She steadied herself by the table and sat down gently in a chair. She cer¬ tainly did like the chances that a waitress had to take, hut wliat a day today had been. TOMORROW SHE COULD SLEEP TILL NOON!!!!!! Letitia Leary, ’38. THE VOCE CORNERS 30 THE STRANGER With a shrill whistle that echoed and re-echoed through the hare hills, the north¬ bound train pulled into the tiny station o: ( Icinvood and stopped. A single stranger alighted and received his suitcase from the waiting porter. The locomotive, like an impatient steed, shrilled its disapproval and snorted itself swiftly out of sight. The newcomer slowly gazed on the land about him. The town itself was common enough, lying in a hollow, hemmed in on all sides by the grim mountains. It had one main street, boasting of a grocery store, a combined barber shop and gam¬ bling room, a bank, a church and several residences. At length the stranger, aroused from his silent inspection by a last ghostly echo of tlu train whistle, heaved a heavy sigh and entered the station. To the casual glance the room was empty hut a closer observance disclosed a pair of well worn shoes resting on an equally well worn desk. The stranger addressed the shoes thus: ‘‘Good afternoon. ' The sound of. deep breathing was the only response. “Ahem, 1 say. good afternoon. This time a grizzled head slowly appeared above tin desk and gazed at the intruder. “Could you tell me where the old Mar¬ tin house is ?” asked the stranger. The old man blinked his eyes in disbe¬ lief. “Not old Ned Martin ' s househe gasped, “the haunted house ?” T believe that ' s the one, although I was not aware that spirits were residing there, returned the other. “Wal. there he, declared the old man. “an if ve know what ' s best, ye ' ll he stay¬ ing away like.” s I’m afraid that ' s impossible, for L am here on a — or — business, returned the stranger. Val. don ' t say nobody warned ye, said the other. “There it be up there. The stranger ' s gaze followed the direction of the pointing finger until it rested on a distant house half way up a nearby moun¬ tain. Even from this distance the house sent back a look of warning. After a long time the stranger turned and said, “It is too great a distance to travel tonight. Is there some place where I might stay? “Oh Miss Peters takes roomers in the summer oft times. Mebbe she ' ll let ya in for tlu night. She lives in that white house, the second from the store, ya can ' t miss it, supplied the old mail. The stranger thanked him and suitcase in hand followed the directions. Mrs. Peters proved to be glad to have a boarder so late in the season, but not only was it a source of extra money, but also a chance of bearing some “ever wanted news.” She showed him to her nicest room (his lie ' ll ' such a likely looking sort), and informed him supper would be ready shortly. The stranger freshened himself then strode to the mirror and stood regarding his reflection. What he saw there was a tall, slim, youthful man in his late twen¬ ties. An honest face that was framed in masses of dark, wavy hair and a pair of steady brown eyes that told the story of truth. Suddenly, as if dissatisfied with the reflection, he turned briskly away and drew from bis pocket a gold watch. He opened it and stared for a long time, not at the hour hands, but at the face of a young and beautiful girl. Then encouraged the FOUR CORNERS by the bright smiling countenance, be lmsied himself with an old hook train the bedroom shell. Meanwhile in the little station another was deep in earnest thought. It was the station master and his thoughts rested on the stranger and the haunted house. About forty years before this story, a dark haired man with his lovely golden haired bride had come to the village of Glenwood and built a home on the moun¬ tain side. They were Ned and Lucy .Mar¬ tin. This happy couple tilled I lie hearts ol the country folks with joy. No one knew from whence they came, and somehow no one managed to ask them. A year passed, two years, three years, then one cold winter night a crazed Ned Martin ran into town for help. He returned home with a doctor and a volunteer nurse, but too late, the fair Lucy had gone to a fairer land carry¬ ing in loving arms her baby daughter. From this time on, Ned was a different man. He shut himself into his home and neither spoke nor mingled with the world. Then one morning he left on the early train and was never seen nor heard from again. As years passed stories had been told by hunters of seeing Lucy, babe in arms, wandering from room to room in search of her husband. Children were made to mind by this story and—. But the old station agent was asleep. . - The stranger was aroused from his hook by a. call for-supper. It proved to be a tempting meal, and the conversation was equally pleasing. At last .Mary Peters asked the question that had puzzled her since the youth had entered her home. “What’s your name, .Mister { I ' d like very much to call you someth ing.” The young man hesitated, then answered. “I’ll tell you first tiling in the morning. 1 ' 1 With this answer he retired to his room and drawing forth the watch he spoke to the picture, “Until darling, please trv to understand that I did not wish to leave you without an explanation, l:mt that 1 did not know myself until I was on my journey. Dad called me.to. his office this morning and told me lie had some business in an¬ other town lie would like me to attend to. 1 did not refuse so he gave me this letter and said, “Son, 1 cannot tell you in spoken words what your mission is. All directions will he in this letter, to be read by none hut you, and not until you are on the train. Here is the money for your journey. Buy u ticket, for Glenwood, perform your duty and God ' s blessing he on you. 5 55 “IIis letter puzzles me. It says, ‘Find the old Martin place. Go there. Kilter with the inclosed key and be sure that no one is following. 1 The first door at my right will be the library. I am to enter here and find on the wall the picture of a young woman. Behind this will he a crack in the plastering. I am to push on this and then to follow my own judgment in every¬ thing. That is all I know, my love, so please try to understand. The face in the watch seemed to smile a promise, the young mail shut the case and that night it lay tightly clasped in his hand. He rose early the next morning eager to accomplish his duties and leave. After breakfast he tramped out, forgetting his promise to his landlady. The s ' .v was grey and the first snow of the season was fall¬ ing. He headed in the direction of the 3S THE FOUR CORXERS Martin house, and the higher he climbed the lower his courage ran. At length lie stopped to rest and look hack toward the town. But before his startled eyes stood two gliostiv iigures. lie stood stiff with fright, then laughing at his fears, he ad¬ vanced and read these words from their faces: Here lies Lucy Elinor Carpenter wife of Edward Lucian Martin Oct. S, 1S70—Feb. 1, 1900 and Here lies Mary Lucy Martin daughter of Lucy E. and Edward L. Martin Feb. 1, 1900—Feb. 1, 1900 Before these stones the young man stood motionless. He was beginning to under¬ stand. At last he turned and continued up the mountain. The wind had risen and whined disagreeably down the mountain side. The youth raised his eyes to find himself in front of the house. “Xot a had place when it was new,” he said. He groped in his pocket and drew out his key, but while his stiff fingers fumbled with the latch, the door flew open as if given a tre¬ mendous yank, and the youth fell to the floor. At first he was too out of breath and startled to move, but at last lie gained his feet and thanked the wind for its help. He now stood in the hallway from which several doors led into the various rooms of the house. Directly in front of him stood the stairs covered with the dust of many years, which his adventuresome spirit told him to explore. But instead he opened the door at his right and entered. True to his directions it was the library. At first the darkness hindered his seeing, but li. opened the blinds and the light of unex¬ pected sunshine filled the room. Shelve and books lined the walls and on the dess in the corner lay a letter discolored with age and half eaten by the mice. On it was written one word, “Farewell. ' and under¬ neath was the signature “Ned.” The youth ' s eyes now rested on !he p ■ ture of a voting girl and he recognized if to be the mentioned picture. He removed it carefully and pushed the plaster. Im¬ mediately it crumbled and there lay a tiny jeweled box. He drew it out and opened it. The bright sunlight shone oil pearls—a whole box of them and in their m.ds. rested a tiny prayer book. He turned the leaves reverently and found a small slip of paper, on which was written: “These pearls are mine. Even though disinherited by my father for the love of you, dear Ned, the traditional pearls are in my hands. To your daughter or your son’s bride may they be given. Lucy.” The stranger left the house, locked the door and arrived at the ghostly figures once again. Before the taller he bent his knee and whispered a promise. It was: “Your wish shall be granted.” Then getting to his feet he descended the mountain. The noon train south was due in a few minutes. In the doorway stood a young man with his suitcase. “Thank you very much for your kind hospitality, Mrs. Peters, perhaps we shall meet again some¬ time.” “I sincerely hope we shall,” she replied. “Before I go may I ask a favor of you ? Please tell anyone who asks, that the Mar- THE FOUR. CORNERS 39 tin place is for sale, the money to go to the town of (ilemvood. Here is the writ¬ ten promise tlial 1 have signed ; I am in¬ trusting’ it to you. vlood-hve and good luck.” Mrs. Peters gazed at the departing figure and then at the paper, which she held in her hand. Truly it was a written promise and it was signed hv the stranger, “Edward Martin, Jr.” Makuaukt Riciiakdsox, ’39. HAPPY ENDING Our story opens in the handsomely fur¬ nished drawing room of the Rancho Mor- los. We see an elderly lady talking to a young man. She is Senora Morelos and tin young man is Philipe, her son. As we listen, we hear her sav, “It is the custom of our people, so please try to understand, my son, why you are to marry this girl, .Maria Bonito.” “But, Mother, I’ve never seen the girl. I don’t even know what she looks like,” exclaimed Philipe. “Enough,” said the senora, “it was ar¬ ranged at her birth that she was to be your bride on her twenty-first birthday, which is tomorrow. And Philipe,” added liis mother, as he was turning away, “I have heard that she is very pretty and very rich.” An hour later we see Philipe driving along the dusty road to San Jose, which is situated twenty miles from his home. Speeding around a turn in the road, he sees an attractive young girl bent over the motor of an auto. Pulling up alongside, he asks if he could be of assistance. She looks up and agrees that lie might if he knows anything about an automobile. Young Philipe poked an obliging head under the hood. Her carburetor valve was stuck. One slight push and it would be fixed. ‘ This,” lie assured her, ‘ looks serious, I flunk that I can adjust it, though. Arc you in a hurry?” A 0 - 00 ,” said the girl, as she sat down on the running board, “I’m going to San Jose for the night. How far from civiliza¬ tion is this, anyway?” ‘ Scnorita, you are in the midst of civi¬ lization, for am I not here ?” ‘ Stop it,” her t nkling laughter was as toit and sweet as her face and very lovely to hear. For a little while Philipe worked stead¬ ily, disconnecting and reconnecting spark plugs. He got out the tool kit and used ns many tools as possible in a workmanlike way. They talked of everything, of music, dancing, and of magic in the desert. Purple shadows were gathering around the mountains north of them. The sky was handsome in the radiant glory of a western sunset. A brush lizard scurried for home, and the air was still as if time itself was waiting. “Look,” said Philipe at last, “there’s a wonderful little inn a small distance from here. A lady from San Francisco started it. She is trying to recapture the atmosphere of early California and Mex¬ ico. She has gathered together some Mexi¬ can people and they run the place, from waiting on table to singing and dancing. I know that you would enjoy it. Let’s have dinner there. You can be in San Jose by nine at the latest.” “It is a large temptation,” acknowledged the girl, “I really think I will.” In a surprisingly short time young Senor Philipe had a certain engine run- 40 THE FOUR CORNERS ning, and, I may add, running very smoothly. “But what about your car? questioned the girl. “You can’t leave it here. “I ' ll tell you what,” explained Bliihpe. “I ' ll go ahead in my car and you follow in yours. How’s that ?” The inn was gay with flowers and candles. Bright black-eyed girls in color¬ ful costumes greeted them. Together the two young people watched Bosnia at the hand looms in one of the small shops bordering the patio. They also watched Jose making gay colored pottery which could be purchased for a small amount of money. “It’s so fascinating,” breathed the girl, “don’t you think so ?” “Beautiful, agreed Philipe, and as one might have guessed he was not looking at the surroundings. Then, very softly, lie be¬ gan to sing an old Mexican love song which the orchestra was playing. “But you have a wonderful voice.” cried the girl. “Si, Senorita, for yodeling.” “Oh, but I’m serious.” “I don ' t want you to know me as a singer but as a great writer. Seriously, though, I am looking for an answer to a story which I have sent to the publisher.” For an instant her hand lay on his arm, “You will be famous, I know it, and I shall be, oh, so proud of knowing you.” At dinner they sat on a balcony over¬ looking a hazy, mesquite-liung canyon. From somewhere in the depths was heard the whistle of a mocking bird. A slice of pale moon slid into the skv, grew bolder, and spread a thin light over them. “Everything seems so peaceful and quiet up here,” murmured the girl. “One might have stepped into the past. Ami to think that there are places near here where people are hurrying their life away with¬ out thinking how short it really is and how quickly it will go without us hurry¬ ing.” Philipe leaned forward, You are go¬ ing to stay in San Jose for awhile, area t you? You are not leaving in the morn¬ ing “L don ' t know where, but 1 11 probably be around somewhere, you see—well, never mind.” Their eyes met and held across the table. Suddenly, for Philipe. the future was brighter. He might he married to Maria, the girl that lie had never seen, but lie could not be expected to stay at home all the time. Once in awhile he could see this girl, maybe,—maybe some day lie would be free to ask her to marry him. A ho knows what the world lias in store for one ? The evening passed on swift wings. They laughed much and were happy. At last, however, she said, “It’s good-bye, please read this note when you reach your home, and not before.” “It ' s good-bye for a short time. You have my address, you ' ll write ?” She hesi¬ tated, then: “I ' ll write,” she promised, and she was off into the night. “But wait!” cried Philipe. “Your name, you didn’t tell me what it was.” Disappointed, Philipe returned to his car and drove slowly homeward, not think¬ ing of anything except the beautiful girl and of his marriage to this unknown Maria which was to take place on the morrow. On reaching home he put up his car and went -to his room. Upon entering lie re¬ membered the note which had been given him. THE FOUR CORNERS 41 “She must have written it while I was talking to Jose,” he mused, as he unfolded it. The room seemed to grow cold. lie didn ' t know why, until he read. . . . There was no signature. Only— “I ' m so terribly sorry, Philipe, sorrier than you ' ll ever know. My name—well, it doesn’t matter. But last night did. Will it mean anything to you if 1 say that l shall re¬ member it always, that l shall be watching you grow famous, that 1 shall read every story which you write, and shall probably cut out your photograph from some maga¬ zine or book and treasure it. thinking of you often, too often, maybe ? You probably will not see me again. I am to be married. It seems funny that the man I am engaged to is named Philipe, the same as you. For¬ give me, I couldn’t tell you last, night be¬ cause I wanted nothing to spoil the mem¬ ory of it.” “Adios, mi amingo.” For the second time this night Philipe was disappointed. As ho slowly prepared for bed, he heard from somewhere through the open window the mournful, half fin¬ ished note of a mocking bird. The next morning Philipe was awak¬ ened early by the Senora, who told him to get up aiul prepare for breakfast. He obeyed slowly, not exactly looking forward to the things that the day had in store for him. As he entered the dining room, a servant passed him his mor ning mail. He was about to put it into his pocket when he noticed that one was from the pub¬ lisher to whom he had sent his story. Quickly tearing it open, he read the joy¬ ous news that his story had been accepted and was to be published if satisfactory arrangements could be made with him. They would be glad to look over any other novels which he would write and send to them. “Philipe, please come here,” called the Senora, “J received a message from your bride-to-be, Maria. She was late in reach¬ ing San Jose last night, but she will be here this afternoon. Her father and mother should be here now, as they were coming directly from Rosario. I don’t understand why they should let her come alone a day ahead of time.” The day passed swiftly aiul it was late afternoon when a car drove into the yard and a knock sounded at the door. Philipe, who was then going by the door, opened it, to stare into the eyes of the girl In had met. a day before. “You!” cried Philipe. “You!” echoed the girl. “What are you doing here ? I was told that Senora Alamos lived here at this Rancho. Oh, you are visiting her ?” “Why,” exclaimed Philipe, “that was my mother’s name before she was mar¬ ried.” “Your mother? Then you are the one that I am to marry; yon are Philipe Alamos.” “And you,” he returned excitedly, “are my unknown Maria. To think that I have dreaded this day. Come in and meet your future mother-in-law. ” Again the shadows of ni giit were closing in, but this time Pliilipe aiul Maria were united forever. As he turned to look into the happy eyes of his bride, the joyous whistle of a mock¬ ing bird floated by on the wings of the evening breeze. R. Scam max, ’39. 42 THE FOUR CO EX EES MAY I SPEAK? May I speak? Two fingers raised lan¬ guidly, hurriedly, or indifferently, rush¬ ing, waving frantically through the air, or propped up hv the oilier arm in untold fatigue. Turning and twisting, jiggling and sighing, feet scuffling, finger snapping, and then a nod, “You may speak.” Why, oh why all this fervid furor Well, that all depends. First comes Willie Watson, the studious lad who is the teacher ' s pride and joy. II speaks only when necessary and then very briefly and straight to the point. Then there is Jimmie Jump-Up. who runs con¬ tinually. His arm must be run by perpet¬ ual motion—it is in the air all the time. At “the nod” up he jumps and scoots to his victim, who must listen to his silly run of chatter until he is told to return to his seat. He remains still for fully five min¬ utes—perhaps—and then the urge is upon him. Up it goes. What ? Why, the hand. His is the frantically waving type. And so on through the day for Jimmie. He never does his lessons himself; he bothers others, but still expects others to do his work as well as their own. Of course, Persistent Pest is always around. He is the creature who likes to annoy the person in charge. He just asks to speak in order to tease, lie has no definite purpose other than that. Silly Sally fits in here somewhere. She likes to go have a talk with her best friend about what she did last night, and what she intends to do tonight and tomorrow night, and so on ad infinitum, until her time is up. If she has more than one girl friend, needs must be that slu go to each one and repeat her tale. Gertie Gossip delights to tell a story or some luscious tid-bit of news that just can ' t wait until recess. She entertains everyone within hearing distance with these morsels of scandal. Her whisper carries over a radius of several seats, and she is willing to make it a little louder if possible, with the result that half the room is agog listen¬ ing to her “News of the Day.” Of course there are variations from the main request, “May I speak?” “May I sit with someone to study? ’ or “May so- and-so and I go into the other room to study ?” are the main themes. What goes on behind those closed doors, studying or the contrary, is not for me to sav. Human nature will always be the same. In every classroom there will be the tease, the gossip, the scholar. So forever and a day shall this be two fingers raised: “May I speak ?” H. Snow, ’38.

THE WAVE It rears and it rumbles, it rages and roars; It tears and it tumbles, it beats on the shores; It swings and it suckles, it billows and caves; It swishes and buckles, the sinuous wave. It froths and it tosses, it sings and it plays; It sleeps and it settles, the undulate wave. It swells and it ridges, it furrows and soars; It merges and it surges, it laps on the shore.

And what behind the curtain lies Is what we seek to know. And so we miss the peace in life, Because we aim too high. And reaching for the farthest star We let the moon go by. Nancy Rick. ’39. HUMOR Humor is the joy in life; Without it there’s no fun. Humor is our greatest pride; Without it there’s no sun. Humor chases frowns away; Makes the smiles appear. Humor shortens all long days And passes out good cheer. Humor is a great possession: Urge it if you can. Humor starts an inspiration And helps the working man. So all you humorous people Laugh out strong and loud; Smile, tell a joke or two. And drive away dark clouds. Selma Coiien, ’40. A TREASURE Do you know the greatest treasure A person ever owned? Someone to tell all your troubles; To go to when you’re sad; Someone to wipe away your tears. And make your sad heart glad; Someone who’ll not forsake you In sorrow or in joy; Someone who’ll always love you best. Your pleasures be their joy; Someone who knows your failings, And overlooks your faults; Someone who’ll always help you o’er This life’s impending halts. A true friend, a best friend. With love beyond measure. In this land, or any land, Is man’s greatest treasure. Ida C. Nelson, ’39. THE FOUR CORNERS 45 DAY DREAMS I sat upon the fine white sand, My eyes gazed on the sea; No ships I saw, no sea-feared band. Oh, hour, I’ve wasted thee. I watched the thrashing whitecaps roll My mind, far distant memories; A sea bird ' s tale shrill did unfold, Oh, day, I’ve wasted thee. The sun, beneath a powdery cloud. Cast paintings on the sea; Sea creatures went their wandrous ways, Oh. life. I ' ve wasted thee. Edward Sullivan, ’39. SPRING Oh, cloudy day and sunny day, You always herald spring. We welcome you and singing birds. And budding flowers you bring. The frogs are trilling in the ponds. I hear a whippoorwill. Farmer boy with fishing rod Goes whistling up the hill. The planting and the gardening. The way the farmers strive— Everything I see makes me Just glad to be alive. Christine Gantnier, ’39. NATURE I lie on a bed of flowers Beneath the shadow of a tree, And the warm air is my cover As it drapes itself over me. The shining leaves, my umbrella. If the cool spring rain should fall. The big tree, my companion, standing so straight and tall. I talk to the tree so stately About this grand old earth. And give thanks to my Creator, Who gave sweet spr.ng her birth. I tell to the tree my troubles, I tell it of my woes. It whispers, “Whate ' er your problem, Take it to God, He knows.” The clouds floating o’er me murmur, “You can tell all your troubles to Him.” And then my burden grows lighter, The heartache and sorrows grow dim. So, as you walk along the road. And life seems just a fraud. Lay your head in the lap of spring And take all your troubles to Cod. Nancy Rice, ’39.

What other books have you read that you enjoyed as you did Limington’s ?” “Well, there was that high school in South Paris. Theirs was a mimeographed book, very well written and the literary department was swell reading.” “Did we hear from Foxcroft Academy, Charlie?” “Yes, Bergen, but there weren’t enough jokes and I think that there must be some sense of humor there. Other than that it was very well done.” How about our rival in basketball, Charlie?” “Oh! You mean Falmouth.

Scarboro placed third, being beaten by Falmouth and Cape Elizabeth, who totaled scores of 49 and 30 points respectively. The meet took place under very unfav¬ orable weather conditions and rain-soaked contestants and spectators were inter¬ mingled throughout the afternoon. Yet in spite of the handicaps, Scarboro came through with a first place tie in the pole vault (Scamman and Gower), a tie for first in the broad jump (Burnell), a sec¬ ond in the discus (Southworth), a second in the shot put (Scamman), a third in the 100-yard dash (Burnell), a third in the quarter mile (Dolloff), a third in the jave¬ lin (Scamman), a tie for third in the high jump (Scamman), and a third in the relay. .Rain or no rain, the showing, that our team made in the meet convinced us that the foundation had been well laid for the coming year. Our outdoor track teams are usually at or near the top of league competition year after year. We attribute much of the credit for this to our principal, Mr. Bessey, whose energy and enthusiasm keep our interest in developing our abilities at its best.

The following girls were members of the team: Geneva Plowman, ’38; Elva Pooler, ’38; Helene Howatt, ’38; Jeanette Johnson, ’38; Marian Stanford, ’40; Imo- gene Douglas, ’37; Manager Ellen Jensen, ’38; and Coach Marr, a member of the faculty.

Editor’s Noth: Geneva Plowman, the Girls’ Athletics Editor, turned in the above account of the girls’ activities but naturally failed to mention the details of that famous day in the rain when she alone scored eighteen points, enough to win the meet by herselIt was an outstanding performance lor any athlete. The lemaining five points were won by Marian Stanford, a Freshman, who, we hope, will win many more points for Scarboro. CROSS-COUNTRY Scarboro High School again has a cross¬ country team after a loan period of six years. The team, under the fine coaching of Mr. Higgins, enjoyed a perfect season, winning all three of their meets with other schools. In an interclass practice meet held early in the season, the Freshmen-Jnniors succeeded in winning over the Sophoinorcs- fteniors hv the close score of 27-20. The first intcrseholastic meet came on October 14th, when the team went, to Gor¬ ham and outran the Normal School junior varsity with a score of 23-38. “Bob” Seam man and “Bill” Cott, who placed second and third respectively, certainly showed plenty of stamina and courage in running such fine races against their larger and older rivals. On October 21st, Scarboro again met the G. N. N. Jayvccs on our own two-mile course. “Ken” Dolloff led the Scarboro harriers home and the team again swamped the visitors with the score of 10-44. The team, believing they had another good run left in them, journeyed to Lewis¬ ton on October 27th to run the Bates Col¬ lege Freshmen. Here again was an oppo¬ nent worthy of their best efforts. Hut running through rain and mud and against a supposedly superior team, the hoys surprised everyone by adding another feather to their already overloaded caps by winning 10 to 38. “Ken Dolloff, “Spike” Plowman and “Hill” Cott broke the tape together, tying for first position with the fast time of 11 minutes and 50 seconds.

Scarboro, through Warren Ewing’s skill in the 40-vard breast stroke, scored hut three points. Although the competition has been keener in the last few’ years, our own tal¬ ent has also been lacking the skill of THE FOUR CORNERS : 4 former years. Let this be a challenge to our boys and girls! Everybody should know how to swim! Let ' s develop more swimmers in our school! Wo would like to place a better team in the pool next year and with your help we can.

So it was that we had only two girls, Marian Stanford. 40, and Theresa Doyle, 41. who entered the meet. Due to the league requirements for three entrants, Scarboro was not an official participant. RIFLE MEET The Falmouth High School rifle team captured the championship of’ the eighth annual Triple 0 rifle meet at the V. M. 0. A. range on Saturday. December 4, 1937. with a score of 232 points. Smith of Falmouth led the individual scorers with SI points out of a possible 100, including the score of 47 out of 50 prone. Harriman of Cape Elizabeth was the high off-hand shooter with 37 out of 50 points. Scarboro was well represented by the following: Captain William Fielding, ’38; K. Doll off, ’40; L. Higgins, ’39; W.‘ Brad¬ ford, ’39 ; and X. Johnson, ’38. Scarboro’s high scorers of the meet were Captain Fielding, who won his letter with 70 points, Bradford with 68 points and Hig¬ gins with 66 points.

BOYS’ BASKETBALL The basketball season of 1937-38 has been one of the most successful in the his¬ tory of the school. The defeats which the team suffered last year served to develop a team which lost only two games in its regular league schedule. What a contrast to the team of last year which won only two games. We. are proud of the team ' s development and record.

But this defeat, instead of depressing the boys, seemed to spur them on, for they quickly hit their stride in the following game and banished all ideas of losing. We played our second game with Gor¬ ham on January 21st in our own gym. A record crowd was present to see the boys upset the dope bucket by winning the game in the last few minutes of play, 23 to 18. Although hard pressed by Fal¬ mouth, the team Avon all the rest of their league games. We all hoped that Falmouth would win from Gorham in their last league game and automatically put us in top position. But they couldn ' t quite turn the trick, thus Scarhoro and Gorham tied for first posi¬ tion. The play-off took place on the South Portland High School floor. Although the boys did their best, Gorham managed to stem a terrific last-half attack to win the championship by the score of IS to 13. We then traveled to Lewiston to take part in the small school tourney there. We were forced to play without the services of one of our stellar guards, Normie Harmon, who was injured in the play-off with Gor¬ ham. The boys played a fine game against Frycburg Academy, but their height proved to be too much of a handicap and we lost by a top-heavy score of 44 to 22. A week later the team entered the Gor¬ ham .Normal tournament at Gorham. Here again hard luck seemed to dog our foot¬ steps, for our players were sadly out of condition, due mostly to heavy colds. Our first game was with York, and in spite of our handicap, the team proved to the fans that a team that won ' t be beaten can’t be beaten, for we won going away, 36 to 29. As a result, our hopes were high for our second game with Gorham. But it was too much to expect of a sick team, and the boys went down fighting by a score of 34 to 25. Scarboro’s play in the Gorham Normal tournament was an exhibition of gameness and courage and we take off our hats to a great team. Our second team had a perfect season, winning six games and losing none. Many promising candidates have been developed, and it looks like another good season next year. Many thanks to Mr. Ilallett for his long and painstaking hours of coaching.

INDOOR TRACK The eleventh annual indoor track meet was held at the Portland Y. M. C. A. on March 26, 1938. Scarboro with a well balanced team cap¬ tured the championship, winning two events and placing in all but the relay. “Ken” Dolloff came within % of a second of breaking a record when he picked up the potatoes in 16% seconds. Scannnan with three seconds, Dolloff with a first, and three thirds and Burnell with a first were high scorers for Scar¬ boro. Ralph Sawyer of Pennell was high scorer of the meet with 11 points.

This did not surprise us, for we knew that they had a great bunch of athletes. Con¬ gratulations, Kennelmnk! We are proud, however, that Scarboro, with a comparatively green team and against competition like this, was able to score a second in the pole vault (South- worth), a fourth in the 120-yard high hurdles (Glover), a third in the 220-yard low hurdles (Dolloff), a tie for third in the pole vault (Scamman), and fourth in the relay; total 8 4 points. Congratula¬ tions, boys, and we are looking forward to a fine year. Baseball Again baseball was carried on as an in¬ formal sport, a supplement to outdoor track. It was decided this year to give a letter in baseball on the basis of eight games played or two years’ competition. Quite a number of hoys were inlcrcsird, including E. Mitchell. S. Libby, lb Srani- man. 11. Pence, lb Iiawson, lb Knight, T. Newcomb, II. Peacock. . Gower, ( . Southworth, Iv. Dollofi and I). Clark. We feel that if Scarboro ever desires to concentrate on baseball as a league sport, a good team could be developed. Team record: Windham, 5 Scarboro. 2 Go. ham. 22 Scarboro.

The Sopho¬ mores proved to be too strong for the new¬ comers and they filially won, 22 to 10. Winter Scouts This is the second consecutive year that the Triple C has had to give up the winter sports meet, due to a lack of snow in this vicinity. We believe, however, that there is a lot of interest in this winter activity, and hope that, in future years, snow will be provided for our use. Basket ball Balla i Speaking of immortal works by great writers, we think Mr. Stoddard’s ballad on the Gorham basketball game deserves a niche in the Hall of Fame. Interclass Track Meet We were pleased to see so much inter¬ est among the classes in track this spring. Besides those who turned out to take part in rhe meet, there were a large number of spectators.

Badmi xTo x When !Mr. Bessov came to school with a badminton sot one morning, we looked forward to a lot of fun, and wo have not been disappointed. It lias become quite popular with certain members of our stu¬ dent body. Tennis There has been some agitation for a tennis court this spring. There seems to be quite a lot of interest among the stu¬ dent body and we hope that something conies from it. Tennis is certainly a line sport for both boys and girls. Soft Softball looks like a promising intra¬ mural sport this spring. Coach Hallett feels that be can interest more students in softball than in baseball and yet not inter¬ fere with the development of track as a major spring sport. Horseshoes The horseshoe stakes have recently been ] lit. out and as soon as the weather clears up you’ll see plenty of barnyard golf balls Hitting back and forth from stake to stake. Volley Ball We believe that volley ball under favor¬ able conditions would prove to be a popu¬ lar game. It lias already proved its worth as a developer in physical education.
