EDITORIAL ' Our New Gymnasium We students of Unity High School feel very proud of the fact that we have access to a new and spa- cious gymnasium this year! 'lhls is the first year that we have had a gym of our own since 1946, when we played in the old gym located in the I.0.0.F. Hall. It seems exceptionally nice to be ablc to go to our gym, rather than being obliged to travel to some neighboring town only to practice a few hours before returning home. The gymnasium is located at Windemere Park in the Legion Hall. The floor is large, sixty-one by twenty-seven feet. There are two rows of bleachers on each side of the hall, and a small stage provides extra seating room. The dressing rooms are located on the first floor. Two large oil stoves provide the necessary heat. A very attractive. scoreboard was provided by Mr. Karl McKechnie, and I under- stand that he made it himself. A very good job, Mr. McKechnie! We owe a great deal of thanks to the members or the American Legion who started the campaign on its way. All it took was someone to get it started. Then everyone pitched in and helped until the gym had been fully completed. Some of the high school boys and Mr. Pearce contributed by helplng paint the gym floor. Although contractors did a great deal of the work, several individuals around town con- tributed their services by soliciting funds. These men were: Maxwell Fortier, Alton Lowell, Clifford Jones, Rcv. Shirley Morgan and Charles Murch. We are all very grateful to the above mentioned people, and to all the people who generously gave money which made our new gymnasium possible. To extend our appreciation to the above men- tioned fivc men who solic.ted the funds, we stu- dents presented them with season tickets which arc honored at our home games on Tuesday nights, This year, instead of going behind in our basket- ball program, I believe we are going to make a small sum. In the years past we have gone behind as much as fifty or sixty dollars. Large crowds have attended our games this year. This shows that everyone is working with us: knowing this gives us a great deal of courage, and enables us to keep fighting and even though we may not win, to bc good sports and try a little harder next time. Our teams have really showed good sportsmanship by doing this, we are very proud of them. Our teams, especially the boys, progressed tery rapidly as the season got under way, which shows us the aid of a gym can make a big difference! As editor l wish to thank again all of those who helped make our new gym possible, and in the near fixture I am sure that you will see a remarkable improvement in our basketball teams! MARY REYNOLDS 50 Editor-in-Chief. Page Ten The Flag l pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. These words are uttered many times a year in and religions. We give this pledge while facing the Hag of the United States, our hand placed over our classrooms all over America, by people of all races heart. Do we realize the true meaning of the words we speak? Do we know what we are promising, and to whom we give our promise? The first words, I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and the the Republic for which it stands, express our promise to the country in which we live and become citizens, with all the rights of citizenship. We pledge our obedi- ence to our country, and our loyalty to the flag which has waved aloft for many generations. In history we learn of the growth of this flag, along with the development of the United States. We learn to respect and honor it all our lives. We compare it with flags of other countries, and con- clude that we are satisfied with it as it is. It be- comes a part of us, as we travel the road to citizen- ship. With our flag above us, we know that our country is good, and that we can help it to stay that way. One nation indivisible, is a description of our country. These words tell us that our United States will stand together forever, in good times and in bad. We know that it is true that the country will always be one. not to be divided for any reason. We know the truth of the words of Abraham Lin- coln in his inaugural address together we stand, divided we fall. The last words are with liberty and justice for all. By saying these words we should feel secure of our future, no matter wnat our race or religion. We are promising to ourselves and to every person in America, that we will do our part to keep lib- erty and justice for all. Every person has the right to do and say what he wishes as long as he keeps within the laws of our democratic nation. We will never have to fear injustice for any of our deeds. but may be sure of just results. We should remem- ber these promises of ours and think of them every time we see the red, white and blue flag of our nation waving on high. BARBARA M. HAMLIN 51
