THE MUSSUL Qllanu nf 1934 Coeur de Lion. was a leader of men, both Sa.ro11s and Normans. UR class elected the following officers for this, their last year in high school: Ifypgfdppif Ruby Huff Vice-Prfxridmit Thirza Chandler Secretary Helen Braekley Treasurer Laurence Norton Class Collector Flflyd Flat-T8 Although we have had the supposedly unlucky number of thirteen in our class we have been far from totally lacking in good fortune. Our first big venture in money making was Bing Crosby in College Humor , the talkie which Mr. Harlan Higgins gave under our sponsorship. The Seniors con- tributed to the evening's entertainment an animated newspaper with stories, jokes, poems, locals, advertising and well known comic strips. Through the kindness of Mr. Higgins and the cooperation of the trustees of the Forster Building, the Senior Class netted about twenty dollars. This year our class play drew an old time crowd and the financial gain was en- couraging-nearly fifty dollars for our treasury. We exchanged plays with New Sharon and although such ventures are sometimes unsatisfactory, we not only had UNSQUIT 7 a good profit, but we thoroughly enjoyed the cordiality extended to us by the New Sharon Seniors. The Seniors were fortu- nate in being able to have the entire cast, with one exception, from its own member- ship. VVe put on two silent movies which were well attended by the townspeople. As an added attraction we gave away several prizes. We have had several changes in the membership of our class. Virgil jackson, Gwendolyn and Hilda Toothaker joined our class just before the 'Christmas vaca- Lake left shortly after mid- years and Virgil jackson left before Easter tion. Urcil vacation to graduate with his own class at X'Vinthrop. He acted very competently as stage manager for the presentation of our play here, but we missed him greatly at New Sharon. Violet Lambert, Floyd Flagg, Birchard Taylor and Ruby Huff have been our ath- letes. Floyd Flagg, Ruby Huff, Lelia Luce, Laurence Norton, Birchard Taylor and Hilda Toothaker took part in the junior- Senior speaking contest.

6 THE MUSSUL UNSQUIT bring out the causes, effects, and inter- relationships which are determining what our world is today. Business Law teaches the essentials of businesslike procedure that should be known to every- modern man and womang General Science gives us a back- ground of understanding of the marvelous world of invention and discoveryg and in Civics and the Problems of Democracy the issues of government and group living are placed before us for discussion and consid- eration. It is expected that a course in simple, elementary bookkeeping may be added next fall to supplement this unit of work. This General Course at once became very popular with the pupils of all classes. Although this work is entirely different from the hard grind of the regular college preparatory course, it has its definite aims to serve the pupil's immediate needs. However, those who enter the high school, hereafter, should be careful to choose the right unit of work. The colleges still have peculiar, individual requirements which must be carefully met, and it would be difficult to change from the General Course back into college preparatory work without the loss of credits. On the other hand the students of the General Course can enter business schools, nurses' training schools, normal schools and similar institutions of learning without additional subjects. A BOOK BOOK is a book-nothing more! Is this true? Is this what we con- sider our greatest artists' works in litera- ture? No, an author is an artist who paints word pictures. Open a book and the lines of letters turn themselves upside down: they form grand mountains with snow capped peaks: they bounce all to- gether and make rolling plains with wav- ing grain fields. This is the background. In front are Hgures, real and living, work- ing and playing, with beauty all about them. Let us read, let us follow the example of the hero, shun that of the villain. A fairyland which teaches life- this is a book. ' C. W. A. AND S. H. S. UCI-I criticism has been directed against the Civil Works Adminis- tration and the other allied agencies of the Federal Government in its drive to end the depression. Whether such objections are deserved or whether they are unwarranted is beyond the comprehension of most indi- viduals. Yet the fact remains that the re- pairs and the improvements which have been completed at the schoolhouse would not have been done for a number of years, if at all, unless the labor costs had been cared for by the national government. Under present economic conditions the town alone could not have financed these projects: the English room, laboratory and library have been completely refinished with muresco on the walls and oil paint on the woodwork, the first and second floor halls have been redecoratedg all the seats and desks throughout the building have been cleaned and varnishedg a new book cupboard has been constructed for the high school as well as shelves and cupboards for the gradesg all the windows have been re- paired and tightened to make savings in heating another winterg the tables and chairs in the lunchroom have been repaired and painted in such a way as to make this room useful for a playroom during the winter monthsg and, perhaps, most im- portant of all, the basement and toilet facilities have been modernized to the full- est extent possible under prevailing con- ditions. Although the history classes may debate at length the wisdom or the folly of the policies of the Roosevelt administration, the positive good done to the physical plant which is the Strong school building cannot be discounted. Furthermore, the American plan of helping the needy in return for work on projects which are for the benefit of all appears far superior to the English dole method of outright gifts to the poor with no commensurate return to the com- munity.
