THE FOUR CORNERS SCARBORO HIGH SCHOOL Number 1 May, 1041 Volume XXIX “THE GOLDEN RULE” says to Patronize Our Advertisers. It is only because they have purchased space in our advertising section that we are en¬ abled to publish this lx ok. The Editorial Board of The Four Corners and the student body of Scarboro High School wish to extend their sincere thanks to them. I WONDER HOW The Four Corners received its name. Of course we can imagine: 1. That Tn J-: Four Corners was named because of the intersection of the State Road, the Black Point Road, and the Gor¬ ham Road at Oak Hill. Before we moved to our new building, the High School was 1 oca led there. 2. That our year-book includes all the activities of the school, and all that takes place in the ‘ four corners” of the school. 3. That the old watering trough at Oak Hill made that spot a general meeting place. Therefore, these four corners be¬ came very popular. 4. That the High School had pupils who lived in dliferent sections of the town, known better as the “four corners” of the town. 5. Tliat the High School was first lo¬ cated at Dunstan, where four other roads intersect, making “four corners.” At one time, the High School was also located at Scottow’s ITill. Considering these possible explanations, one can easily realize that The Four

However, I ho students are not satisfied in using tlieir imaginations as to how their book was named. They would like to know the real explanation. We have asked several people how this book received its name. Ffo one has been able to give an accurate answer, because the book was named so many years ago. We would appreciate any information as to how our year-book actually received its name. THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council of Scarboro High School consists of ten members chosen by the four classes, four from the Senior class, three from the Junior class, two from the Sophomore class, and one from the Fresh¬ man class chosen after Thanksgiving. The members of this board take up any suggestions involving the welfare of the student body, made by tlieir various classes. Many times the Student Council initiates problems. After debating these suggestions, the Student Council takes those they consider profitable to the faculty for further ap¬ proval. If the suggestions meet with the faculty’s approval, the Student Council then takes the lead in seeing that the sug¬ gestions are put into effect as a part of the school’s procedure. There is a Student Council in practi¬ cally every high school in the United States. This board plays an important part in the educational system. Let us remember this, that being a Stu¬ dent Council member is not only an honor, but a great responsibility. So let us all try harder and make our Student Council the best. Wo believe that this year could have been much more successful. GUIDANCE This year a new course was added to our schedule, Guidance. This class is un¬ der the direction of the home-room teach¬ ers, and it is held weekly. It is to help the students obtain jobs in the business world after they finish school.
