Too often the time and the effort given high school work is less than they should be. The source of this difficulty in high school is the belief that high school work can be done during the school day and without any outside study. ' The approximate time spent in our school is six hours per day or thirty hours per week of five days. Those of high school age who leave school to take up other employment must work approximately forty hours per week. Satisfactory high school work can hardly be done in less than this amount of time, but that means finding ten hours each week, or on the average of two hours per day for outside study in addition to the thirty hours spent in school. Very frequently the difference between unsatisfactory and satisfactory high school work is found in the amount of outside study. It is my'ooinion that satisfact- ory high school work demands as many hours per week as the average out-of-school job. Those concerned with this Question of the proper amount of time to be given high school vork .'.1 can get helpful information from either of the following sources: ll take any group of high school pupils doing successful work and find out how much time per week they are giving to their studiesg or C25 ask any group of high school graduates what they would advise. ' In view of this question I think all 'parents would do their children a real service if they made, at various times, a check- up on the time given to outside study. - ' I -'R. GQ Johnson it it - itiiifacwt :L I5 SCHOOL SPIRIT School Spirit is one of the requisites that a school must have to be successful. What is School Spirit? It is loyalty, faithfulness, work- ing for a school to be better and of more service to all. It is standing behind athletic teams whether winners or losers. It is enthusiasm and participttion in all school activities. School Spirit can be shown by discharging tasks cheerfully, be they difficult or easy. This year Standish High has not seemed to lack School spirit in any respect. ,The entire student body has worked in behalf of the school interests--randy to help in 5 y project contemplated. This past autumn our school has sold marfzines. The :cosy obtained from the sales has procured for us a radio, which has presented us with several entertainments. The boys this year entered into athletics with Nach spirit and enthusiasm. They have been loyal, faithful to their teams and school. In basketball, almost all of the games hfve been victories for us,much to our joy. Our girls started a basketball team, the first that we have ever had. Although many games have dot yet been played this year, because of the lateness in starting, the team con- templates several games before the season closes. , Participants in the Prize Speaking Contest woried hard to make the affair successful. . If a schiol lacks School S irit, sooner or later, the effect will be visible. If students can not cooperate in school activities, a disintegration inevitably risults.

PAX VOBISCUMT Perhaps in view ef recent development it is well that certain far-sighted statesmcn opposed the plan for America to join the World.Court. It is certain thot its aims were truly uplifting and its purpose certainly was deserving of support, but the method, like the man who conceived it, was wholly academic and based on little more than conjecture. Eventsiief the past few years have again proved that cupid- ity is still a guiding,faoter in the policies of nations, and that half-hearted threats are unavailing in the face of determined opposition. A more constructive effect en behalf of world peace has been made in the arms conferences, but even these are as yet only partly successful, since they are dominated by jealousy and the politicians ambition to bring 'home the bacon'. Q A ' In forming our international policy as will soon be necessary, let us return to the precepts of the east. First comes the Monroe Doctrine, which although ve rave at times judicieusly broken it, has probably kept Uncle Sam out of considerable trouble which might have proved very serious. A second part of the policy may be ta en from the Ger- mans. It was amazing that such a country could up ese mein than half the world for so long. The explanation was their system of training. They trained one group of men and turn- ed them eff. Then they tr inei another group, until at the call to arms, the nation sprang from having a relatively small enlisted persenicl, to that of a whole nation of men efficiently directed arg well prepared. We have similar organizations in C.M.T.C., West Point and Annapolis, where we give our youth valuable les ons on patriotic practices. The benefits of this method are not wholly te be asso- ciated with possible war. These institutions are primarily, schools for the education ef coming citizens on the studies of personal and public health psychology, social and patriot ic obligations, and above all, the art ei obeying and cooper ating. In a local or sectional calamity, when do we first call upon? Is it not upon the National Guard er the Militia because they are skilled in the art of warfare, as yell aS trained to obey efficiently? Are not their leaders trained to meet emergencies? The value of a natien's defense against economic coll- apse, political corruption, er another nation is not alone 1 measured in terms of the men she can out o' tne field, but are also in the training and preparation cf these mon. Our latest perplexity emphasizes the need of men who are proper- ly prepared and sufficiently self-sacrificing to hold our high public places. The time is not far iistant when all public places will be earned through Civil Service examin- ations and prepared for by special training that should make politics less glamorous and more practical. For these reasons I urge that we train our youth in - sound citizenship and national preparedness, not only in event of possible or probable loss of the League of Nations the Kellog pact and the three-power agreement as internatw ional doctrines and stabilizers, but as a prevention of the recurrence of'the sad political and economicnscandals, as well as rascality that have defamed our Justice and cheated tens of thousands by fraudulent manipulation of public and private moneys. Lastly as a means to teach the youth the f sound principles of honor, true proportion and cautious expansion, that in their observance have made America one of the richest of nations, and that in their violation ' have shaken it to its vary foundations. With such a group of cooperative cititens the prospects for America to enjoy real peace would be im easurably higher and taxes correspondingly lighter. If such a policy of integrity among men and nations were praticed in sons of the major foreign countries, a great advance toward a real world peace built on respect, rather than fear and avaricious politics would be made.

Marie was something of a snob and was liked by neither the girls nor the boys of Colborn, but ncvQytEg1C55,' she was regarded as by far, the best playef in the women's singles this year. Sally Lincoln had won over her apponent only by the greatest of good fortune, for she had not been expected to last the first day out. uStill, if we could only wake her up, she might make an effort.and at least take some of the glory away from Marie,u mused Betty. The next day found the two girls at Sa1ly's home, doing their humble best to nwake her up.H nIt's a shame, Sally, that you have to play Marie. No girl in town can beet her,U remarked Joan, .PBut we'l1 be cheering you just the same,n put in Betty, nCan't you just see Marie posing with that lovely cup, for the cameras?n she added mournfully. nOh, well, after all--it may not be Marie who does the posing,n said Sally. ' After all, it may not,H agreed Joan, as they left. That afternoon the first part of the game was decidedly in Marie's favor--and no one was surprised. During one of the rest periods, however, Sally happened to look up and caught Joan's eyeq Joan coiled: Never mind, Sally, what could you expect? In the next set Sally suddenly found herself. She electrified the audience by her astonishing plays. The rest of the game was hers! As Betty and Joan hurried up to congratulate her, they saw Sally posing for the newspaper cameras with the Pembrook Cup in her arms. ' . Barbara Higgins '54 il iliillll lil! A WALK THROUGH NATURE Awakening earlier than usual one morning, I was seized with a desire to go for a walk in the woods, and having always been an ardent admirer of nature, I quickly decided favorably on the clan. I dressed hastily, and then after eating a lunch and storing some more away in my oocket, I sei camera and started forth.

I returned home well satisfied with myself and quickly de- cided that there is nothing so beautiful as drama enacted by the denizens of the forest. Roland Lewis '33. QS SEVENTEIN This age so well portrayed by Booth Tarhington comes in everywhere for a laugh, but let us consider the victim himselfg here is no laughing matter. It is a period of adjustment when the guiding ties of parents are cast off, and the youngster sets out on his course through life with buffeting disillusions and dragging temptations to ttrow his career on the rocks. In many cases substitutions are made in hitherto accepted standards of right and wrong to permit more speed by cutting corners about dangerous practices. All goes well if the youth has sufficiently absorbed the fundamental principles of navigating in troubled waters, if he has a strong and properly trained conscience and an ability to detect false argument, if he has a proper conception of the rel, ative values of his honor, his hapfiness and his accumulation of the world's goods. The average high school student does not probe thus deeply into dry details. He follows the line of least resistance. He imitates his elders. To him honesty is the b1st policy, only if he finds the majority about him practicing strict strairbt forwardness. Thus we have ourselves to thank if a youth pat- terns his like after some grown-up who has made good by self- ishness and deceit. As hard lines pour upon us like a testing acid, we find how many are really a benefit to the community. How many are willing, when the past has been kind enough to grant then the ownership of a business or an influential political standing, to share their profits with their help, as well as to under- take contracts with slight personal gain for the sake of help- ing those neighbors who are dependent upon the work thus supp- lied? Among the causes of the present business collapse may be cited the fact that certain of our leaders were not sufficiently trained in their seventeens to withstand the pinch, rather than to pass the buck to their less fortunate fellowmen. Many of those who are thoroughly unselfish are igno ant in these tin , of where and how to cut expenses. Such men as believe they are being truly generous when as presidents of a cone-rn they out salaries the same percent they cut their help, forgetful of the fact that the help are already out to a scanty living wage, while the president and his staff of salaries depart- mental heads could live on a much greater percent reduction than the wage earner. Men do not yet know the true value of a dollar through having to support a family of five in a rent on a dollar and a half a day part time. It is at this plastic age of Seventeen, that our lead- ers have chosen such ethics as have lei them to save them- selves and let the Devil take the hindmost or to help his neighbors with some thing more substantial than smiles, prom- ises and assurances. In order to insure the stability of a reconstructed economic and social balance, let us recognize and assume our duty to these students in life. Let us teach them practical citiienship and fellowship by our own example. Let us strive to give the next generation a better world ani life than has been our lot. As a means to this end, let ue be a bit more faithful to our private and public obligations, more alert in our attention to public trends and policies. Lct us teach that the possessor of riches is not inevitably happier than thc possessor of kindness, optimism, a humble home and the knowledge that he is of true service to his country men. I Minot Pitts '55 Frogs' Winter Quarters Frogs are just as industrious frost dodgers as are birds, but while the birds travel thouands of miles to winter quarters, the frog migrates but a feet, and that straight down. The frog is a cold-blooded animal, Clike some of our big magnatesl and has no power to rise his body temperature above that of surrounding water or air. He can stand quite a bit of chilly weather, and can even survive after being partially frozen for a short time, but the smart frog avoids the frost, At the first sign of ice forming on his favrite pond, the frog empties all the air from his lungs and dives ' into the water, burying himself in the soft mud at the bottom. The ice may freeze solidly over the surface of the pond or lake, but the frog selects a place deep cn- ough so that there will always be some unfrozen water above his mud bed. He thus gets enough oxygen through his skin to keep him alive, although he seems to be dead. With the ice gone in spring, a couple of warm days are usually enough to wake him up.

He was hoeing his garden one day, and, as he lived in a generation when it was no uncommon thing for men to work ln the fields and rdens with bare feet he had no shoes upon Tift ga ' lseeo New Ebenezer had turned up quite a bit of the soil, so that the earth where he stood was loose, when he saw something move on the ground in front of him. He was always on the out- look for toads, so it was only natur?1 that he thought this was one. Without thinking, or looking twice, he lifted his hoe and struck with all his strength at what he thought to be a toad. He soon discovered his mistake. It was not a toad, but his own toe. The rest of his foot had been covered by the loose soil, When he had moved his foot, he only saw his toe wiggle. Barbara Higgins '54- PROGRESS , New times demand new measures and new men.

Early one soring the-'Washington Senators' bought a base- ball player whose more was Joe Cronin. He was to be their sub- stitute shortston.- I , . One day the regular shortstop wasn't feeling very well, and a hard gems was to be olayed, so the manager told UJoeU he would play at shortstop. T Just before the game, the fans were wondering who was going to play fat short'. One man spoke uc and said, Whittle Joe Croninu. Ther everyone thought the game.was lost oeiore it had started. Washington was slaying the New York.Yankees at Washington. Joe Sewell was the lead off man of the Yankees. He hit a slow grcinder to Cronin. Joe picked it up and had his man at first. - T Then Earl Combs, Babe Duth, Lou Gehrig, Bill Dickey followed in that order. lt wwsn't very long before it was the fire of the ninth inning and the score was O to O. Earl Combs was the first man at bat. He ccened the innilr with a single'down the right field foul line. Then Babe Ruth followed with another single. Lou Gehrig came uc with a man on first and second. The oiteher threw the ball a little wide on the-left hand corner and :he Umoire called it ball one. The next one was a little high. This was ball two and no strikes. The nest one wwe over the right hand corner and was called a ' ' strike. Then Gehrig hit a line drive at second, but nLitt1e Joen jumped-un and had ig.

One day While I was busy working, a call came to the operating room, it told me to prepare for a serious operation which was to take place as soon as the patient reached the hospital In a short time the patient arrived, and I saw Virginia Dow being wheeled into the operating room on a stretcheru That morning while she and Laurel Burnham were doing stunts with their airplanes, they had crashed into each other. , Virginia hurt, was seriously injured, while UPopW was only slightly Of course, I was very excited to find my cousin before me on the operating table.

The wind howled mournfully as it whistled across the barren rocks and chilly beaches to the little cottage on the hill. The wind came with rain and beat furiously against the window panes of a cottage. I In this quaint cottage on the hill-was a small fire place. Eivind this was sitting an aged man and worry. The man was pulling quietly and slowly on an old pipe. The woman was peaceg fully knitting. As the old man gazed into the hearth, the silenc was broken by his words, nWell, Maria, it was just ten years ago tonight, that our Danny boy left us to become a sailor on the wide sea, g ' Maria said nothing for several moments. Finally, as she laid down her knitting, her eyes filled with fears and she said, nYes, Jim, that's right.y I've been thinking about our boy. I wonder where he is tonight. I don't like to think of him as being out in this terrible blinding storm shipwrecked, but-- maybe he isn't. Danny was a good boy. I often wonder what reasons he could have had for leaving us. All these long des- olate years have passed, and we haven't heard a word from our boy. A Upon saying this, she arose and left the room. In a few moments she returned with a small trunk. With the small brass key which was hung about her neck, she unlocked the trunk and . drew out a small fragment of worn paper. 'She unfolded it and read aloud the note which Danny had left them before his de- parture. nGood bye. lim off to be a sailor. Don't worry about me. I will come back to you some day. Your boy, Danny.n She then refolded it. replaced it in the trunk, fastened the lock, hung the key around her neck, and carried it back into the little I'OOIl'1. When'she returned, Jim had laid down his pipe, and was sitting with his head bowed in hands. She sank into the chair and wept bitterly, as she thought of her darling Danny boy. Finally raising her eyes she said, UI wonder if he will ever come back to us.n ' Jim raised his eyes and said in a low, broken voice, UI don't know, Maria . It will be a happy day in my life, if he does come.' Saying this he arose and left the room. In a few minutes he called to Maria. nIt's nearly 10:50. Guess we'd better go to bed.U The next morning they arose early as ueuai and went about their daily tasks in good spirits. Aiter they had eaten their simple breakfast, Jim left the cottage He returned around 11:30 with the daily paper. In this they read where the big ship nwashingtonn had been driven upon the rocks. The news turned their thoughts to their boy. . However, they said nothing to each other. Of course their boy couldn't have been on this ship. Thej Fad nothing at.all to give them any such suppositions. Yet they had an inward feel ing that he might possibly have been on the wrecked ship. Early in the evening as they were sitting around the fire place talking of the different events of the day, a knock sound- ed upon the door. This frightened them some what, as no one ever came to visit them after sundown. Saying nothing, Jim arose and quietly went to the door to let in the late visitor. There in the blinding storm stood a tall, erect man whom , he did not recognize. The stranger inquired, UCan you tell me if this is the cottage of Mr. Jim Dunlow?n Jim then recognized the voice to be that of no one else but his Danny. Immediately he called nMaria, Maria, come quicklylu Hastil she laid down her knitting, and upon seeing her boy ran to him with tears in her eyes. Oh Danny boy, we thank God that you have kept your promise to come back to us.n ' James Dube '55 g Violins 25 inches long,ryet perfect in every detail, have just been completed by a violin maker in Saxony.

' Jane's Birthday Present A ragged young boy was walking down the street carrying very carefully a large paper-wrapped bundle. As he turned a corner he came upon a group of his friends playing marbles on the cement sidewalk. A He tried in vain to hide the bulky bundle under his ragged coat, before the other boys saw him. nHi, Jim! What's in the bundle?H cried one of the youngsters. ' ult a1n't nuthinln -HHuh! I can see you carrying a bundle like that for a mile or two, just for fun.n Hwell, 'course there is somethin' in it,n conceded Jim, nBut it wouldn t int'rest you kids none.H ' Hon, I jist bet it wouldn't. Let's find out what's ir it, fellers.' With this the group of boys fell upon Jim and his package. Jim did his best, but he could not stand long against the five other boys. 'lhey unwraroed the bundle, while Jim looked on rather shame-facedly. nHope it's somethin' good to eat,n exclaimed a small, thin lad. UMore likely it's some ole clothes,n said another. By this time the bundle was pretty well unwrapped, and the eager boys pulled out the contents. NA doll!n The boys were too surprised to be disappointed. nWell, this is the first time I knew Jim played with dolls! Why, even Ted, here,N pointing to the smallest member of the group, nout-growed that, years ago.n nlt ain't for me,n surlily replied Jim. Y nWell, who is it for then,n asked several voices. Ulf you must know,N cried Jim, UI bought it with the money I earned selling papers, for a birthday present for Little Lame Jane.n ' The boys looked rather crest fallen. They all knew the little lame girl, who lived, with her old grandmother, in the poorest house in the town, and they all knew that above everythirg else, she longed for a doll. nIt's a dandy doll,U was all they had to say. Barbara Higgins 'er' in-ir Uzrrsn zaossr John and Eddie were two boys who were going camping. When night came, they were about four miles frog the olace where they were to camp. They saw an old house, which had been deserted, on a hill a little ways from the road. They t v were going to turn into the road that led un to the house, when a man came along with a horse. He stooped and asked them if they were going un to that house on the hill. They both said WYesW. Whereuoon he said, Wwell, boys, if I was you I wou1dn't go up there. Peoole round these parts say that that there house is haunted. A good meny'psQ31e who have been riding by here at night say that they have heard a sort of moaning and shri king noise in there, and have seen lights come on and then so off. They have seen things walk- ing around. Boys, if I was you I would go somewhere else to sleep tonight.H' Then John said,'Where is the nearest house from here?H Uwelln, said the man, Nthe nearest house is about two miles back along the road from which you just oame.W I Hwelln, said Eddie, WI guess we don't want to ro book there again.W UAll right boys, but do not sleep in that there hour tonight.U Whereuoon he drove off rather fast, as if he wr, afraid that a ghost would get him. After he had gone, Eddie said to John, Hwhat do you think we should do? U John said, UDo you believe in ghosts, Eddie?U Eddie said NNo.U Wwelln, said John,UI guess we will try sleeping there tonight.N When they came up to the house they saw that it was a rather large, weather beaten dilaoidated, old house which had not been in use for a long time. 7 They went in and stood listening. Suddenly they heard a bang. UHear thet,U said Eddie. WIt was just a window blind slamming against the house,N said John. There was an old fireplace which they cleaned out. They built a fire, upon which they cooked their supper. After they had eaten their supper they did not explore the house ss-it was too dark. They had nothing for a light except an old flash light, so they rolled up in their blankets and went to sleep. Sometime in the night John awoke with a start. He looked at Eddie, who was sound asleep beside him. Then he heard a ' noise. It was the murmur of voices. he awoke Eddie, The noise seemed to come from the second floor. The boys tock some clubs and went stealthily up the stairs. They san 5 door under which light rays were coming from the room behind it. John went up to the door and put his eyes to the keyhole. He saw five men in there. They were arguing about something. WWhat are they saying,W asked Eddie. UThey are talkingH, whispered John, Wabout whether t ' should stay here any longer, or if thSY should go away and take the money with them. It seems as if they are a gang of robbers. Two of them wish to ebay give for a While, but the other three desire to go and take their money with.them.W , While John was telling Eddie what they had said there was a sudden scuffle. Then three of the men came bursting out with a bag in their hands. Upon seeing the two boys with clubs, they leaped upon them. Two of them jumped on John, but. a blow from his club knocked one of them unconscious, The other one had him down and was choking him, when there came a sudden erack. The man let go of John. Eddie had knocked his man senseless and had turned to help Johnh Wwellu, said Jghn after he had risen, Uthet was a close shave. We had better tie these fellows up or they might come to.N After they had tied them up, they looked at the other men in the room. These seemed to be recovering from the blows which their comrades had given them. The boys left the house to get a sheriff, who was about five miles away. Tnsg had just reached the roaj, whim an auto- mobile came along WitH two fellows in it. One of them offered to go for the sheriff, while the other came back with the boys to guard the prisoners. After the sheriff came, he took the orisoners who were a gang of crooks, which the police had been trying to catch for a number of years. There was a million dollars in the bag which the crooks had wisp tksr tried to get a'QY. There was a two thousand dollar reward for the capture c the gang. Eddie and Fohn reoeivip t4e reward. The next day they.continued on to their camping place. ' t Roland Rising 'V34 Standish High' - In a little town called Standish, With a picturesque lake close hyg Stands a large and mdcrn structure, That is known as Standish High. How we love that dear old school house! Each room has memories dear. And our teachers kind and patient, Ever loyal and sincere. Some times we get cross and ugly, Seems that books are just a pestg Wish there were no such things as English, Algebra, Booking and the rest. But when we think of many, With no school like ours close byg We settle right down and study, Rejoice in Standish High. Phyllis Shaw.54. A Countr y Meeting House. I know where there is something queer, And yet it fills my heart with ch or. It's a meeting house not far away, Built way back in Colonial Days. Inside it are the queerest things, Not like our choir where a lady sings. It has large seats like a huge woodbox, And a pulgit high where the preacher talks. This pulpit is many feet from the floor, So the preacher sees who cones through the door There ere not many of these churches left to se And they seem odd to you and to me. June Carr-56. I dread to take home my report card, With E, in letters bright red, Because I know what that means, A trip to the old wood shed. There was a student at Standish, Who fooled all his classtime away, When he looked at his final ranking, He found 'twas his red letter day. Gordon Smith.-54. He was only a boy of French descent. Many a weary hour he spent. In carefully placing his thoughts so deep, On the difficult piece he was to speak. He said it o'er and ofer and o'or, While steadily marching across the floor, Finally the day of speaking came around, And Jim y spoke with a skill profound. At last! the greatest thrill and surprise, He was awarded the boys'first prize. John Rand.-55. My Babbling Brook Down in the meadow not far away, Where I spent many hours each day, There's a group of trees like a tiny nook, And through them runs my babbling brook. I love the brook with a heart that's dear. It always fills my soulzwith cheer. If you could sit and listen to it, And hear the ripples that goes through it Youfd hear the stories that it tells. , Of pretty daisies and tiny bluebells, Of little frogs and tiny toads, Of city streets and county roads, I'm sure you'd love this babbling brook, That runs near trees built like a nook. June Carr '56 ,Q SPRING Spring is here! Spring is here! The very best time of all the year. The birds back from the South will come, To make us happy and cheer every one. The sleepy, silvery pussy-willows grow, Down where the Saeo river flows. The birds all now begin to sing, For they are Joys and the bringers of Spring. James Dube '35. . sets: BIRDS I Went fishing this morning, I had an enjoyehle timeg I took a brand new sole, A spool of very strong thread. As I sat there by the brook, In the crisp, cool, morning air, I heard the songs of all the birds, There must have been hundreds there. I heard the songs of the robin, The meadow lark and the Wren, They sang their songs o'er and o'er, As they flew through the wooded glen. I quite forgot I was fishing, As I listened to them singing there, It was inspiring te see them, They seemed to be everywhere. So when you get disegurgged, Feeling down-hearted and glue, Just take s Walk through the woodlands, It's surprising what song birds can do. Ctusrt G. Elwell '34.

John na.nd1 '33, SCHOOL ACTIVITIES The school year of 1952-55 began in September and was joy- fully received by the students who enrolled to the number of approximately one hundred. The first week was spent mostly in settling into the routine of High School life. Then baseball practice occupied a period of three or four weeks. This was done mostly to form a neucleus for next yearls team. The basketball season caused feverish attempts to find the strongest material and to form it into a team. Then cane the struggle with mid-term exams which proved heartening to some and dis-heartening to others. Rehersals were also begun in prize speaking. The finals were held with the contestants who were picked from the preliminaries. This group consisted of: James Dube, William Brazier, Naomi Woodbrey, Helen Bauekman, Bertha Frost, Barbara Higgins, Stuart Elwell, Erma Hartford, Arthur Cole, Calvin Austin, Josephine Norton, and John Ryall. First prize for bets was awarded to James Dube, and first prize for girls was won by Barbara Higgins. The second for either boy or girl was won by Stuart Elwell. The basketball squad was finally selected by Coach Johrson. Many close scored and hard fought games ensued with Standish being defeated three times. The first defeat was by Gorham High School whom we beat in a very exciting game at Gorham at the next game. The second was by the Gorham Normal J. V. The necessay amount of money which was made available by donations of the Alumni Classes of 1950 and 1952, with funds received from the sale of magazines from the Crowell Pub- lishing Co, was used to buy a radio-phone, which consisted of a radio and a victrola combined. This has added great. to the pleasures of the entire Student Body. Social iancfc were held which afforded much amusement for all. We emerged from our league tied with Gorham High for the top position of our league. The game was played at the YMCA on February 24 with Standish being defeated 19-4. As some interest in basketball was new shown by the girls, arrangements were made with Stanley Austin to coach them. One gane was played with Hollis, Standish was defeated. Standish was selected as a contestant in the Gorham Normal Tournament which was hell on March 5-4. The first game was with Alfred and Standish easily won 25-8. We were defeated however by Gorham High School on Saturday afternoon 33-8 The tournament was won by Gorham who defeated Buxton by one point. Assemblies were held on all holidays such as Armistice Day, Washington's Birthday, and others. Short programs which were sponsored by Miss A. Coombs were given. We had the privilege of listening to a Missionary, Mr. Moulton, from India, who gave a very interesting talk on the life there.

In the Journal of the National Education Association appears the following code which should be of interest to every teacher: GOOD AMERICANS try to become strong and useful, worthy of their nation, that our country may become ever greateh and better. Therefore, they obey the laws of right living which the best Americans have always obeyed. Good Americans play fair. Strong play increases and trains one's strength and coursgrs opcrtmanship help one to be a gentleman, a lady, Therefore: 1. I will not cheat. I will keep the rules but I will play the game hard, for the fun of the game, to win by strength and skill. If I should not play fair the loser would lose the fun ofthe game, the winner would lose his self-respect, and the game itself would become a mean and often cruel business. 2. I will treat my opponents with courtesy and trust them if they deserve it. I will be friendly. 5. If I play in a group game I will play, not for my own glory, but for the success of my team. I 4. I will be a good loser or a generous winner. 5. In my work as well as in my play I will be sportsmanlike generous, fair, honorable. , THE CODE OF SPORTSMANSHIP Keep the rulese ' Keep faithwith your comrade. Keep your temper. Keep yourself fit. Keep a stout heart in defeat. ' Keep your pride under in victzry. Keep a sound soul, a clean mind and a healthy body. Play the Game.
