Our town is principal of our time to Standish Through the HOW TO DESCRIBE OUR TOWN? Our Town Is People: fortunate to have such people as Mr. Johnson, the high school. For years he has gladly given of his High School and its students. years Mr. Johnson has been interested in Standish and its young people. He has encouraged a number of the boys in sports. He has produced some fine teams which deserve the credit for the showcase Mr. Johnson of trophies at S. H. S. is responsible for a great many improvements in our school and he has established many fine traditions which make Standish High what it is. We realize, though, that our school would be greatly handicapped if it were not for the superb cooperation of the entire faculty. They are the ones who are always ready to act as our chaperones, advisors, directors, and counsellors. Four individuals deserve a special mention--Superintendent and the School Committee. No other group gives more of its time and interest to our schools than does this public spirited representation of Our Town. One of the greatest assets to Our Town may be found in our townspeople. They are the ones who support the students at Standish. Their interest is seen through their attendance at our games, plays, and suppers, also their contributions to our campaigns and drives. It is good for us to know that when we need assistance and cooperation we need not hesitate to seek from our friends and neighbors of Stand sh. Our Town Is Service Groups: Our Town has many well organized adult groups which willingly serve our children. The Kiwanis is a service organization which does diverse things, from helping boys get started in h-H to providing essentials for the needy. The Kiwanis also sponsors a summer program for the training and enjoyment of the children. A group greatly interested in the high school is the Alumni. Annually, they award an Improvement Prize and they sponsor Junior Prize Speaking. Prize speaking is a great and good experience for the Juniors. The P. T. A. does much for the students at the Elementary School. This group has provided a film strip projector to aid in teaching. Playground equipment is another great improvement which was made possible by the efforts of the P. T. A. This organization awards prizes to the Junior High pupils. They also sponsor many dances for the entertainment of all young people.

Another essential service group is the Health Council which aids all youth in Our Town. They have made possible such worthy things as the clinic for pre-school children and the Chest X-rays for high school students. Moreover, they provide for physical examinations for both the grammar and high school. They are now planning to establish a dental clinic in Our Town. We feel certain they will gain necessary support in this undertaking. Our Town is fortunate to have groups interested in scenic improvement. Typical of this is the Village Improvement Society in Steep Falls. They have planted trees and flowers on the Village Green. They arrange that it be cared for and mowed. The Grandiflora Garden Club does the same excellent work at Standish Corner. In addition, they have also established picnic areas in Our Town. We have people who are thoughtful of the needy at Christmas and Thanksgiving. The Alliance at Standish Village and the Arts and Crafts Club at Steep Falls generously give baskets to help these people have happier holidays. I have covered the adult groups in Our Town. The teen age organ- izationawill be discussed by my fellow editors. Our Town Is Small Town Life: I realize our town isn't a large industrial town. For this reason, it does not provide full time employment for the majority. This seems to prove that people live here by preference. Yet, why wouldn't they want to live in a town where people are so willing to help one another and where living conditions are so healthful? More- over, our town, though located in the country, certainly doesnit lack interests for all age groups. I am aware that our service groups and leaders arenit often thanked for their essential contributions. I feel fortunate to be the one to offer our gratitude for their gen8rosity and kindness. We trust that this edition of the Crimson Rambler will serve as a symbol of appreciation to all the people of Our Town. Beverly Boothby 156
