THE SEA BREEZE 4 In my estimation, there will be no settlement to these boundary questions, for as soon as one disagreement is smoothed out, another arises. The nations of the world are so selfish and greedy! They think only of themselves and of the land they can get by fair or foul means. They think nothing of bringing on war and killing millions to carry out their selfish enterprises. Some day Hitler will have gone far enough Some day the dem ocracies will come to realize that he has done too much and they will rise up against him and crush him Any country, who does as Hitler is doing in Germany, will finally come to ruin It behooves the United States to keep out of this European tur moil, altogether if it is possible M v SPRING FEVER When is school not schoolo Although that question may never have been medltated before, lt is a fact that there comes a tlme ln every student's life when school is not school Vhen is that joyous t1me9 It comes once a year and makes too brief a y1s1t It has a strange but m8gD1flC9Ht lnfluence on all who wltness 1ts magnetlc attractlon, but teachers and students beneflt especlally by lt lt lS when the buds burst open and the llttle brooks run full t1lt down the greenlng meadows It lS Sprlng, HFlDglH9 wlth it that strange ethereal malady Gprlng Fever Thomaston Ulgh School, being a typlcal school whose students never fall to become afflicted, wlll serve as an excellent example of what Sprlng Fever does when lt strlkes The hustle and bustle of grad uatlon preparedness, mlngled wlth the dreamy clutches of Sprlng Fever makes a pleasant, lf queer, COmblD3tlWD of emotlons, and the school bulges wlth people runnlng around wlth bewildered expresslons and startled smlles nS for those whom the blrth of a new world effects dlfferentlr, they s1t Nltf melancrol pGHSlUGHSSS ga lng Nlth vacant eyes at an up ide donn bo k across NhlCH a pattern of frlendly llght falls Jhen the breeae holds 1ts breath 1D the trees and a lone blrd chlrps a note of 8DtlClf3tlOH, the lanquld type of student ralses hls head and slghs, w1th spasmodlc repetltlons, tlll the cobwebs have retreated Then he takes a pencll from behlnd hls ear and dreamily wrltes a fem llnes of verse on a plece of scr p paper Teache s too, are decldedly changed t the new atmosphere, l though they seldom slnk lnto a torpar In fa t, they lsually beam a llttle more and assl n lessons cf smaller quantlty and content te thelr breathless puplls Perhaps they know that the mlnd 1 where the heart lS At any rate, they are eyen more otllvlous than usual of the notes that are smuggled, and passed, acros , up and down the alsles It lS because they are glad thelr school dutles are ne rly over for another year or do they sense also that rare nd lnfinlte feellng Probably we w1ll never know the answer but, at least, ve wlll beneflt from thelr benevolence Nhlle lt lasts , - I U - A 0 PD I C I i- .

THE SEA BREEZE 5 School is not always school. We hope that now every one realizes the fact and knows why. Voicing the thoughts of every Thomaston High School student and Cwe hope! teacher, Spring and Spring Fever, we wel- come you once more to our confines. Narita Dodge '39 AMERTCAN HUNTERS ORGANIZE During the months of October and November thousands of hunters will roam through the beautiful woods in search of game Hunting is a sport enjoyed by both young and old People now do for fun what their ancestors did for a living Most sportsmen realize the dangers of game extinctlon and obey the laws But there are always some who don't realize or don't care about the future They slaughter game, paying no heed to bag limits or game laws When a hunter goes out and kills more birds of game than the legal llmit or when he shoots out of season he is not cheat ing the law but himself and every real sportsmen in North America National Organization of American hunters, an ideal whlch has been hoped for since the f1Sh and game supply of this country first began to falter, became a reallty in 1956 The launching of this fed eration will undoubtedly constitute the most important step ever taken in the history of outdoor sport It will mean the collecting of every local, state, and regional group interested in the future of fishing and hunting 1n Km6TlC8, messing the strength of all, and directing it towards furthering the cause of the North American fish and game supply These organlzations of American sportsmen have been trying to get the people interested ln the future of wildlife on this continent Movements have been launched in twenty six states to develop a program for the advancement, restoration and conservation of wildlife There is no greater force for effectife conservation than an aroused public sentiment on the part of those who love the out of doors If the sentiment in the community is that the law shall be obeyed, there will be few who will risk the consequences of V1018tlHg any reg ulations With the whole hearted co oper t1on of sportsmen these orvanlzat ions will go a long ways toward bringing our game supply back to lts former splendor Every true sportsmen should do all 1n h1s power to ald the cause QClHO Saastamoinen '39 FO OPWQ TIOT What does the word co operate mean?
