Yes, there are many different things we would miss if we didn't live in Maine. When I get up on a cold morning, look out- side, see the ground covered with snow and the trees sleeteid with ice, 1 canlt see much beauty about it. I merely want to go back to bed again. Then I think of those dirty blaekboards at school. I will be late if I oversleep. So I get up and start shoveling a path through those beautiful snow drifts. Snow may be beauti- ful to some people but not to me.

THE FRESHMAN RECEPTION The Freshman Reception was held on Fri- day, September 2.2, 1944, in the I. 0. 0. F. Hall. There were fourteen freshmen, all of whom entertained the audience by doing stunts. Barbara Maxim and Alton McCormick. Jr., assisted by other members of the sopho- more class, were in charge of the program. The receiving- line, made up of the faculty, Mr. McKechnie and the freshman 'class met the parents and the friends of the stud-ents. During the social wlhich followed the recep- tion, music was furnished by Mrs. Hicks, Mrs. Farwell and Michael Vick-ery. GIRLS D0 THEIR PART, T00 Girls who are unable to obtain defense jobs are 'helping in various other ways, caring for children, so mothers can be free to work, help- ing in canteens and in U. S. O. homes. Such work is greatly appreciated. :Then there are our WACS, WAVES, SPARS, CADET NURSES, WASPS and WOWS, which thousands of girls and women have joined, as well as our helpful Red Cross organizations. Because more girls than ever before have started to train for nurses, th-ey, too, will be able to do their duty. They are studying hard in order to learn every little detail in caring for the sick and wounded. There can n-ever be too many nurses in time of war to care for all that require, and must have, medical aid. Girls interested in aeronautics have entered various ibranches of the service. They ferry bomb-ers, are telephone operators at our air- ports, man control towers and even do repair work on airplanes and equipment. There is never an idle mom-ent. Young farmerettes are found doing agri- Icultural work on our farms. They drive tract- ors, pick potatoes, plant and harvest crops, hay, and raise victory gardens-all of which means a great deal to our farmers. Our boys must have food. Ev-ery girl is doing her part toward buying war bonds and -stamps. Since our boys can't fight without equipment, we must get out and back the attack to show that we're be- hind them. With each and everyone rolling up her shirt sleeves and doing her part, we will win this war and have our sons, fathers, brothers, sis- ters, mothers, daughters, uncles and sweet- hearts back with us again soong and, most of all, have the one thing we're fighting for- FREEDOM!
