• • COOPERATION In the small school of Wells River cooperation is very important. It is much more so here to the individual than it is in some large insti- tutions. In a large school, it is possible for a person to go through his four years and very rarely be asked to go out of his way to do something for the school. That is not true here. Unless a person shows himself to be entirely antagonistic, he is frequently asked to give a part of his time in support of some school project. The explanation for this is simple. Even though we have a fairly small enrollment, we maintain a rather large list of activities. Most of these activities are necessary in a school regardless of its size. The rest of the activities could per- haps be dispensed with, but there is no need to if the students will get together and work as a group. Since there is so much to be done, it is obvious that all the students must share the voluntary burden. I am not certain that outsiders realize the number of activities WRHS has to offer its students. In the field of sports, the boys attempt to make a showing in basketball, baseball, and soccer. The girls play basketball and softball. For those who are not sports-minded, we have a number of One-Act Plays, a Prize Speaking and Spelling Contest and the Senior Play. There is also the problem of editing The Party Line, our school newspaper printed bi-monthly, and The Chatterbox which is this incomparable tome. Add to these, the Glee Club, suppers, food sales, the magazine drive, the fashion show, the Junior Prom and other numerous dances, and all the labors of graduation. Now that you have a general idea of the duties which must be performed, take a glance at our enrollment. Our high school is com- posed of 19 boys and 27 girls, a total of 46 students. The junior high gives a huge majority to the girls in the proportion of 15 to 4. Next, consider our faculty of five with the assistance of Mrs. Rowe of Wells River and Mr. Morey and Mr. Farrar of Newbury. It should be fairly obvious that cooperation is necessary if our activities are to be carried on. Some people are approached more than others because they possess some special talent such as typing or artistic ability. Still, there are numerous jobs which can be done by non-specialists. This might be a good place to mention that everyone is encouraged to participate in our sports program, providing his marks are passing. — Five —
