Lewis, who is filling the vacancy made by the resignation of Albert XV. Boston: XValdo R. Flinn, who succeeds Ernest B. Griftin as teacher of sciences and mathematics. and coach of athletics: Elizabeth M. XYhittier, successor of Dorothy Rounds as teacher of French and Geometry. Another new teacher was added to the fac- ultv at the beginning of the second semester- Milton A. Philbrook, who resigned his posi- tion as a teacher in Rockland High School to take up the teaching of mathematics and Eng- lish in our school. PICTURE PRESENTED TO SCHOOL Mrs. Edward Pickard, who is well known and loved in this city, presented to the Assem- bly. at the close of school last year, a picture entit'ed The Horse Fair, from a painting by Rosa Bonheur, in memory of Burleigh Blan- chard, to whom we have fondly dedicated this number of our BLUE AND VVIIITE. At this presentation Mrs. Rickard gave a brief. but never - to - be - forgotten speech in which she quoted Henry Drummond. This speech touched each one in the Assembly and brought more closely to our hearts the realiza- tion that we had truly lost a loyal and faithful schoolmate. The picture, at the present time, hangs in the front of the Assembly Hall just above the piano, where all may see it, and in so doing, remember an ever true friend. CO-VER DESIGN It was the wish of last year's Editorial Board of the BLUE AND VVHITE that we should use the same cover design again this year as a symbol for our school. It was unanimously accepted by this Edi- torial Board and we hope that next year's Board will consider it in this light. Other schools of our size have their own symbol and it has met with general approval. Thus it seems only fitting that Westbrook High have a symbol of its own. THE NEED OF A LARGER ASSEMBLY HALL ' XYestbrook High has long felt the need of a larger Assembly Hall than it has at the pres- ent time. The roof of the present building could be raised and a large Assembly Hall built on the third floor. To be sure, it would cost a great deal at first, but in five years or so it would pay for itself. It would save the High School a large amount of money if this could be done, because in so doing the school plays and school dances could be given in thc same building, so that all the money taken in would be clear profit except for incidental ex- penses. VVe hope that the Alumni will consider this, and we trust that the next issue of the BLUE AND WHITE will announce that the work has been started. SCHOOL SPIRIT If you should cut a mosquito's legs off, could he stand up? If you divide a nation in two

S- iz ' E E 0 if 0 0 0 K CLASS OF 1923 XVe look upon our future now, Xvith all four years gone by, And feel a little sorry like To leave Old NVestbrook lligh. That feeling never came before, For the pleasure was so great XYe didn't think about its end Until now, when ,tis too late. How will we feel in September, XYhen it comes as in years before, And wish that we were back again In high school days once more? Well just recall the days gone by, XYith their work, and pleasure, too, And imagine that we are doing The things that we used to do. How we'll miss the bel1's ringing, And the typewriters' clickety-click, And all the laughing we recall At the playing of each simple trick And the ball games our class played XYere exciting, we all agree: XYe wish the games of the future To be of the same degree. All of the school's activities Are so impressed upon each one That we'll always think of the greatj For those who are yet to come. Well never forget our classmates, So jolly, so lively, and gay. Always ready to lend a hand- XYhatever the cause of delay. XVe greatly appreciate the work The teachers have done for us allg XYe'll remember them on forever, And wish to be with them each fall. Now, with grateful hearts, to-day XYe finish our work with a sigh, ' And say adieu to our good friends :Xml to Dear Old XYestbrook lligh.
