SCHOOL NURSE Editorials Ytll l'll FACES Tlllfl Fl l'l7liE The time is rapidly approaching when it will be necessary for us, ourselves, to face the problems of this vast civiliza- tion of ours. liet us for a moment consid- er how we can best prepare ourselves for this great undertaking and what oppor- tunities are open for us. l'pon graduation from high school we ask ourselves this question, XVhere am I going from here? This inquiry. although a very perplexing o11e, is of the utmost importance, because the decision we make at this time in our life is usual- ly the goal that we strive to attain during the rest of our lives. If we allow our- selves to drift about from place to place with no definite aim, usually we gain very little. Of course, we all cannot be great and make a. name for ourselves that will go down in history, but the best thing for us to do is to choose the vocation that is best suited for us and to continue all our lives 'toward that goal. Further education, whenever it is possible, is certainly the most efficient way to prepare ourselves for the future. l11 securing our education it is not wise for us to study only certain subjects that interest us, for today an educated person should know everything about something and something about everything. Edu- cation for peace should be encouraged, because of what use is an education to us if we allow the world to be destroyed by war? Perhaps as time goes on, it becomes harder for us to choose a vocationg maybe we think that everything had been done in the world-that there is nothing more to invent. There are hundreds of books available, telling us all about the various fields of work. In truth, the world has just lVt 5l'llll2 we have a marvelous future ahead of us. Many people have said that this world is finished. that there is nothing else to do, but there are new inventions being made every year and new fields of work opening up that need men and wo- men to go into them farther and advance civilization. Perhaps, at first, defeat will be our lot, but this not only prepares us for success, but arouses within us the compelling desire to succeed. VVith all the possibilities awaiting us in the field of science, of medicine, of business, of art, and lnindreds of others, let us, the youth of the nation, resolve to do our best in advancing a glorious fu- ture and in making this a peaceful world. R. MacPherson, '39 if 41 'll 'U OUR NAVY XVith the rise of the present war complex in Europe and Asia we hear much more about our own armed forces, and especially about our Navy which is really the first line of defense. Little does the average citizen real- ize how much of an investment our Navy actually represents. During peace time he hears of the Navy only as a group of excursion steamers for young men inter- ested in seeing the world. However, when the war complex arises, the average citi- zen takes a sudden interest in this branch of our armed forces. The sad part is that this interest is not maintained in peace time. The interest of the citizens in their Navy has much to do with the actual quality of our ships and the morale of 8 T H E J E XY li L the n1en on them. Since the citizens re- ceive the benefits of an adequate Navy, they must be prepared to use their in- fluence in seeing that this policy is main- tained in peace time. First of all the average citizen should have some knowledge of the composition of our fleet, its purposes, and what it does to carry them out. 1Ye have a fleet of over three hundred ships today. Of course these are not all lighting ships. some are the necessary auxiliary ships. The backbone of our fieet is the group of huge dreadnaughts Weighing over thirty thousand ton each. VVe have fifteen of these huge ships. Two more are now being built and three have recently been authorized. These ships are heavily ar- mored and depend upon their terrific gun power for supremacy. Their lar- gest guns are generally 10, 14 or 16 inch type. ' In the next class are the heavy and light cruisers. They have very little ar- mor ancl depend more on their speed and rapid maneuvering. The gun calibre used are 8 inch and 5 inch. Our navy now has 18 heavy crui- cruisers. ln a separate class we have the swift I are long, narrow, and speedy. They are used mainly for tor- pedoing and as anti-submarine weapons. 184 destroyers are now in commission in our Navy-'. Submarines are important too, as We have 80 of Various types. There are also a number' of miscel- laneous ships belonging to the Navy. The most interesting fleet is the River' Gun- boat Squadron in China for the United States. These ships will never visit American waters because their small size would not permit a trip across the Pa- cific. Our Navy's supreme purpose is to protect our rights on the high seas and in other lands. The second purpose is to meet and stop any enemy intent on in- vading the United States. Because we have such a small stand- ing Army, We must depend almost en- tirely on the Navy to repel any invas- ion. Thus, it is obvious that our Navy sers and 14 light destrovers. They should have the best of ships and men. Vtiith every citizen taking a genuine in- terest in this important factor of mater- ial defense we can build and maintain a fleet second to none. This is the only way that we can be absolutely sure that our great Zllltl beautiful country will never suffer the devastating effects of a war fought within its boundaries. Francis Brown, U28 HIGH SCHOOL COURSES There are four courses offered to stu- dents of this high school, namely, Com- mercial. Scientitic, Classical, and General. The Commercial course deals with such subjects as typewriting and short- hand, a suitable course for any person wishing to enter the clerical Held. The Scientific course, as its name suggests, contains sciences and other sub- jects which are necessary for college en- trance. It leads to a Bachelor of Science. if pursued in college. The Classical course is the oldest one, having been used since colleges were first instituted. It was considered the necessary back ground for every one who graduated from high school, or college, because it required the study of Latin for four years. However, this subject is believed to be useless to the average stu- dent today except for promoting a better understanding and vocabulary of the Eng- lish language. lt is beneficial to those who take up the studying or teaching of foreign language and is also a necessity to doctors and nurses. The classical course leads to a Bachelor of Arts Degree. The General course is perhaps the most helpful of them all since it gives the student a chance to select those sub- jects which he needs, and is capable of taking. It should not be thought of as a course for persons who are unable to pass in other subjects, but should be regarded as a course open to students who know which subjects they should study to help them in their lfe work. THE JEWEIL 9 The Post Graduate course is a gen- eral course available to all sincere gradu- ates of our high school by the approval of the pincipal. A post graduate benefits by the same equipment and training as a high school student, this course enables him to further his education, even though he may not be able to attend college. Choosing a course is a very serious matter, and the subject should be thought through carefully, before any decision is made. Since there is a possibility of changing the mind after a few years, those who can, may take extra subjects. This is not advisable if the student takes an active part in many after-school ac- tivities. IVe appreciate the great educational field of our' high school, for a school of its size. ours is an exceptional one, since it offers such a varied type of study, which is adaptable to each individual student. Sk if if Sk THE IDEAL SENIOR Since the Seniors have reached the highest goal in High School and should Pl to elif! be the Ideals of all under classmen, we think it only proper to give the under classmen's opinion on what type of per- sons We consider ideal. The Ideal Senior must be courteous, friendly, helpful, and clean. His friend- liness and courtesy must not extend only to his elders, but to all his schoolmates. Ile must analyze his own personality, for- get himself for a while, and learn to un- derstand others and make them happy. In so doing, he himself will have become interesting because of his courtesy and kindness. A true leader forgets himself in helping others. He must be ready to cooperate with schoolmates and members ot the faculty, for it is cooperation and cooperation only that makes a good school. Above all, the Ideal we look up to must be clean. He must be physically, morally and mentally clean, for success was never achieved by an unsound body and mind. Another and a very important char- acter trait that the Ideal Senior must possess is sportsmanship. If he will hold his temper, laugh when he is defeated, conceal his pride in victory, trust his fel- lowmeng and be brave when the task seems too difficult, we will hail him as our leaderl and friend. X . IO 'I' II E l E IV E li Literary A PART Y-LINE COMEDY It so happened that Mrs. Gossip's husband was of the shiftless type. In spite of Mrs. Gossips untiring efforts to make him improve his appearance and look for a job, he seemed content to sit around home and do nothing. Their son had a good job and practically kept the family, much to the satisfaction of his father. YVhen Mrs. Gossip missed a Ladies' Aid meeting, the ladies always took the opportunity to discuss Mr. Gossip and his demerits quite unsparingly. A few of the more daring ones even ventured to men- tion his faults to Mrs. Gossip. On this particular morning, Mrs. Gos- sip took her last pan of cookies from the oven and set them on a rack to cool. Af- ter patting her hair in place and smooth- ing her apron, she bustled into the hall to the telephone. No sooner had she lifted the receiver than a click was heard, then, t'Hello--hello! That you Myr'a?', That creaky voice could belong to none other than Mrs. Snoop, decided Mrs. Gossip, and she was calling Myra Jones. CShe also decided to keep the re- ceiver to her earl. L I'he cat just upset the gold-fish, squeaked Mrs. Snoop, Hand I had to get lem up afore she et them. Glad you held the line, Myra, As we were sayin', that old town nuisance ought to be done away with-- Certainly,i' interrupted Myra, Hit would be a great benefit to the commun- ity if the brute died. Land knows, he's old enough! Mrs. Gossip grew more intent. 'Whom on earth were they talking about? It couldn't be--- Again her thoughts were interrupted by the creaky voice of Mrs. Snoop com- ing over the wire: It's a downright shame how he frigliteiis the children. Surely he can't be of any use to the fain- ily, always around underfoot, the lazy critter! Mrs. Gossip gasped. Ilow could they dare talk that way about her husband? Of course tl1Z1,tiS whom they were talking about. Hadn't they even said as much to her? Still, she continued to listen as Myra once more stormed forth. HI heard some of the men were going to urge him away' from the house some night and shoot him, or else give him a good dose of chloroform. I don't see wlly on earth the Pratts keep that terrible old dog. He must be--- Iler voiced trailed on, but Mrs. Gos- sip had fainted. Pl? S6 Pl? 5? CO-PILOT A light haze hung over the field and hangers of Newark Airport. The red boundary lights winked and blinked thru the thickening veil covering them. In front of the hangers the large Hoodlights cast a soft warm glow over' the concrete apron below. Through the open door of Hanger No. 6 one could see a huge silver plane squatting on the floor much the same as an eagle in its nest. A numb-er of tiny figures were swarming over it preparing it for a flight. Ileadlights 'flashed across the fog, and a small coupe pulled up just inside the gate. The door opened slightly then closed again. THE E VV E4 L I1 Thanks for the ride Jessica. I didn't think you'd even speak to me after last night. I'm sorry for what happened, but I can't stand this much longer. The co-pilot jinx has got me. Why don't you see the superinten- dent again? 'tThat's just it. 'live seen him two or three times now. He told me pointblank that I haven't the ability to be a chief pilot. As a co-pilot Im O. K., but when I'm picked to make a trip it's just be- cause Ifm supposed to bring good weath- er and good luck. You don't get very far on your luck around here. The only way I'll ever be promoted is to take over in an emergency. I'll prove to them some day that I have the ability if I only get the chance. t'XVell, XVarren, I hope you get your chance. You certainly deserve it, but until you do, there's no hope for us. You know how father is. He believes that I'll never be happy without the things I've always had, and he knows they'll never come out of a co-pilots salary. t'But, Jessica. I don't see what dif- ference that makes. A eo-pilots salary is far above the pay on the majority of jobs held by young men my age, and I'm sure of a job. Your father is just an old grouch. 77 t'lVarren Jackson. donlt you talk about my father that way. Do we have to have this all over again after last night? Dad is only thinking of my hap- piness. He knows that you have little chance for promotion now. Don't you see? No, I don't. You're old enough to think for yourself now, but you still al- low your father to dictate to youfl HXVarren, you get out of my car this instant. You're just a pig-headed fool. t'Alright, child of luxury, have it your own way, as usualf' The doorf of the car finally opened. A tall young man stepped out. He was dressed in a neat blue co-pilot's uniform. VVithout turning he strode across the field to a door marked Pilots Only. He tossed a cynical glance at the sign as he entered. The car swung about, slowly drove down the field and was soon swal- lowed up by the engulfing darkness be- youd. Inside the pilots room a few men were sitting about discussing the weath- er, recent flights, and the latest stewar- dess the company had hired. They hard- ly noticed Vlfarren who went straight to his locker and busied himself by need- lessly rearranging its contents. A voice blared forth from the loud speaker over the door. Flight 60 is changed to a special charter run. Leaving for Chicago in 25 minutes. Stuart Taylor, pilot, XVHFF611 Jackson, co-pilot. Jackson wanted in the operation room immediately. The loud voice subsided and the men resumed their talking. Vlfarren knew Tayloris reason for se- lecting him as a co-pilot again. He was just a good luck charm. He hurried thru the building and soon arrived at the glass door marked t'Operations Dept. As he entered, Taylor was checking the flight sheet. The flight manager placed a fresh batch of teletype weather reports on the table in front of VVarren. The first thing to catch his eye was the following report: Low pressure area ac- companied by electrical disturbances moving SE over Great Lakes. YVind di- rection SE. VVind velocity 45 m, p. h, at Cleveland. Taylor glanced up from his work long enough to say VVell, how's you're luck tonight? old dear. a charm around here as he had some time. He'd show them if he only got the chance. He H VVe'll soon find out, Jackson, Just been for someday, groaned inwardly on that diff' He moved over to the flight manager and asked him who chartered the plane. Oh, some old bird called the reser- vations dept. and asked for one for Chi- cago. The clerk told him all planes were temporarily grounded. He blew up and growled something about his influence. The clerk hung up. About five minutes later the superintendent ordered Flight 60 chartered for Chicago. I explained about the weather, but the old duffer is a 12 THE JEXVEL iinancial backer of Apex Airlines, and we have to get him to Chicago regardless of the circumstances. The haze had turned to a line mist by the time the huge Douglas stood at the end of the covered walkway. Both motors ticked over assuringly. The huge silver hull glistened as the sil- ver drops spattered off its smooth skin. The floodlights cast their yellow glow over everything near the plane. VVarren was in his chair on the left hand side of' the pilots office. Glancing up from the instrument board, he noticed Taylor standing at the end of the walk- way with his flight sheet. Taylor was tall and dark headed. A neat black mus- tache adorned his upper lip. His cap was set at a jaunty' angle. How VVarren en- vied him! At exactly 7.35 p. m. a stern looking, middle-aged man dashed down to the cov- ered walk. He swung an over-night case from one hand and a brief case from the other. Wlarren caught only a glimpse of him, as he disappeared into the wet steel hull. Taylor got the last minute weath- er reports and hurried aboard. He took her down the field and swung her around into the wind. He soon had her off and shaped course for Chicago. The raindrops pelted against the windshield and the plane shuddered un- der the impact of the increasing wind. The radio began to emit queer sounds, and it soon became unbearable to keep the headphones on. At only brief inter- vals could they check their course with the radio beam. Theyl were forced to keep a close check on the compass. After about an hour out Taylor took her up to ten thousand feet. The rain drops thinned out and soon huge damp snow flakes began to pile up on the wind- shield despite the untiring efforts of the wipers. The static lessened for a brief inter- val. Yilarren got the Chicago weather re- port which stated that an electrical storm was in progress at the VVindy City. The visibility was practically nothing and the ceiling was only 700 feet. Under ordin- ary conditions a plane would not be al- lowed to land there, but because some stubborn old cuss had to get to Chicago to close a business deal, lives and equip- ment had to be risked. His luck had held out so far' and he had no kick coming. He picked up the mike and began chanting 'fFlight 60 to Chicago--go ahead Chicago--Y' 'lfhen without warning, one whole side of the windshield exploded into a mil- lion tiny pieces. In a moment NVarren re- gained his senses and saw what had hap- pened. Taylor was slumped over the control wheel and blood was pouring from a deep gash over his eye. On his lap lay a large wild duck which had probably flown toward the lighted cock- pit after having been lost for some time. VVarren set the automatic pilot and dragged Taylor' from his seat. He push- ed open the door and soon had Taylor in a seat. The man came foward, his face stricken with horror. NVarren suddenly realized that the man was Mr. Young, Jessica's father. Vifarren pointed to the first aid cabinet on the rear wall and then to the injured man. HFix him up. I've got to fly this crate to Chicagojl he said tersely. As he slid back into his seat, he not- iced the large duck to the floor. He hop- ed it was his good luck omen. He was forced to put on a large pair of gloves for the cockpit had become almost intoler- ably cold in his absence. The wind and snow poured through the gap in the wind- shield on the opposite side from XVE1I'I'Pll. but it cooled the air on the inside almost down to freezing temperature. The air began to grow rougher as the snow changed back to rain, and the spray penetrated to all parts of the cockpit. He fought with the controls of the huge ship and realized the need of another man on the other control wheel. Between the crashes of static he listened for the beam and found that he was still holding his course. Oh, if that beam should falter for even a minute--- First faint and then bright yellow and blue streaks of lightning began to streak the skies. The ship was tossed about like a shingle in a whirlpool. The THE JEXVE-L 13 controls became even harder to handle. At times the storm would start to abate, only to return its attack on the plane with renewed fury. If his luck and the radio beam held out, he had a small chance of reaching -Chicago. Once there his job would be only half done. He would have to land and---his eyes suddenly flashed to the for- gotten gas indicator. Ile switched to the reserve tank in just a nick of time. There were twenty minutes flying time left with the gas in the reserve tank. His gas dwindled from twenty to fif- teen--twelve--eleven--ten and then like a lighthouse to a storm tossed mariner there came a short silence in his headphones. Ile had passed through the cone of silence directly over the beam station at Chicago. The silence spoke as loudly as the deep- est roaring fog horn ever did. By the time he had circled, fiown back, and circled once again, his gas had dwindled to five minutes flying time. Somewhere below lay the Chicago Air- port--but where? IIe knew the beam sta- tion was at the near end of tl1e runway. but it was up to him to judge exactly right or--. Already he was racking his brain for an appropriate prayer. The huge ship began to settle slowly. Sud- denly, at 600 feet he sighted the airport through a rift in the fog. He had swung to the right too far. Quickly he side- slipped to correct his error. The big ship shot over a line of telephone wires and between two hangers. Ile brought her to a perfect landing and rolled up to the Administration Building. 'With a sigh of relief he opened the window on his side and shouted to the attendants for a doc- tor and an ambulance. He forced his tired body out of the chair and back into the cabin. YVith Mr. Young-'s help they carried Taylor into the building. After Taylor' had been taken care of, Mr. Young turned to XVarren, placed his hand on NVarren's shoulder, and began to speak. My boy, any man who can handle a plane like that is worthy of my daughter regardless of his pay. Since it was my influence that got us into this trouble, it should be my influence that brings about a happy ending. I don't imagine that it will take much to persuade Jessica, but I will have a talk with the Superinten- dent. and don't be surprised if the name of a certain Yvarren Jackson appears on the promotion list soon. Francis Brown, '38 ae :lk 9? :lk ROMANCE IN AN ELEVATOR f'Going up! Going up! shouted Jack Evans, the handsome elevator boy in the Chandler Department Store. Several peo- ple answered his call by stepping into was a short opened up a business-like the elevator. Among them stout man., who immediately newspaper to readg a tall fellow wl1o might have been an insurance agentg and a woman with a little girl, who kept making fun of the other pas- sengers. At the last minute a girl came running just as Jack was about to close the door of the elevator. She was a girl of medium height with taffy-colored hair and blue-grey eyes. She was smiling and looked very pretty as she stepped in. Jack Evans did not fail to notice how pretty his last passenger was. The two men got out at the first floorg the lady and little girl got out at the childi-en's department on the third floor. The pretty girl was the only pas- senger leftl Top floor, please, she said presently. Top door, thought Jack. She must be after a job or something because thatls where the offices are. Then he began to whistle softly, looking at the girl all the while. The girl, conscious of his intent gaze, fiushed and looked down. Suddenly the elevator came to an abrupt stop. The girl slid into one cor- ner, and Jack came down with a thud in the opposite corner. They looked so fo0l- ishly helpless that neither one could re- frain from laughing. Finally Jack com- posed himself once more, 'Tm terrible sorry, he apologized, but I didn't real- ize we were so near the end of our jour- 14 THE JEVVEIL ney. The automatic control jerked us to a stop rather quickly. 'flt certainly did, the girl assured him, as she straightened her saucy pill- box hat. Then with a smile that display- ed an even row of pearly white teeth, she said, ttlim afraid you weren't watching the controls very closelyf' Jack blushed, then looked up and stammered, Huh?--Oh, I--that is--well, no. I guess I wasnlt . To be truthful, l was really looking' at you. If you have forgiven me, would you mind telling me your name if' UOf course I have forgiven you. My name is Connie Bryan. I came here look- ing for a job. You see, I wrote to the manager, Mr. Manship about the secre- tarial position I saw advertised in the paper. He suggested that I come down for an interview, so here I am!,' Jack looked surprised as Well as pleased. I hope you will get the job, he replied, Hthen I could ride you up and down often. VVith a bump included each time, I supposefl laughed Connie. Say do you realize we have been stopped here for 20 minutes? Hear those buzzers! You'd bet- ter let me out and get on the job. Jack was so happy that he could only stare at Connie and smile. Finally he managed to say--tWVell, Connie, I'll have to lower away, but please believe me when I say this is the nicest elevator trip I ever had. Incidently, I'll be around when your interview is over. Going down! Going down! Pl? 16 as Sis THE CONSPIRACY If I could only get away from it all! Just one short week is all I'd ask--- just to rest and read to my heart's con- tent, and not have this incessant worry over bills! bills! bills ! ran Lillian's thoughts as she emerged from the subway and wended her way through the crowd, which, like herself, was homeward bound, after another day at the office. She was not a beautiful girl, but there was about her an indefinable something which caus- ed passerby to think, 'tHow attractive she is! NVith her vivid blue eyes, fring- ed with long, dark lashes, and with satin- like skin, tinted blush pink by the wind and exercise, she, indeed, presented a lovely picture. A thrill of excitement entered her being as she noticed the new green of the grass, buds bursting forth on the trees, and the feeling of life be- ginning anew. She hastened her steps until she reached the apartment house, where her mother greeted her with a smile, saying, ttDinner is ready, dear, you must be hungry' after your walk, so I'll hustle things on while you get ready. Lillian hastily? put hat, coat, and scarf in the clothes press, performed her ablutions, and sat down to eat lunch. A few minutes later Mrs. Bennett went into the dining room. ttLillian, why aren't you eating? she exclaimed. At the sound of her mother's sympa- thetic voice, the girl burst into tears. Oh, Mother, she wept., I can't stand this continual strain of not knowing where the next cent is coming from. Mrs. Bennett replied grimly, 'tThat settles it! You are going to have a vaca- tion and--- But, Mother, interrupted Lillian, where shall we get the money? NI value my daughterls health more than money,', her mother quietly replied. YVe'll plan to go back to Maine. It was good to be back in the quiet, little town of her childhood. For the first time since her father's death, her mother really seemed happy and content. They spent hours walking by the sea, re- newing old friendships, and relaxing as much as possible. On the third day of their vacation, Mrs. Bennett went to call on a former school-mate, and Lillian decided to stroll along the coast. As she rounded the point, she came upon a man, seated upon a stone and gazing out to sea. He looked up quickly, then stood up, smiling, and advanced toward her. '4Am I dreaming or is it Lillian Bennett who approaches? he laughed. At once Lillian recognized T H E the voice and smile of her childhood champion and friend. Frank Randale. The following days found them often together. Frank told of his father's bank failing. and his having to work his way through college. Ile was now a lawyer, and had returned to the town of his birth for a few days of well-earned rest, after having won an exceptionally long, drawn out, and bitterly fought case. All too soo11 the two weeks passed and Lillian. her mother and Frank were spending their last evening together. Be- cause it was a pleasant evening. Frank suggested they take a final walk along the coast. Mrs. Bennett pleaded last minute packing as an excuse. for, being wise, she thought they would prefer this last night to themselves. UI believe you understand how much I respect and love you, Lillian, said Frank quietly. She. however. was start- led and not a little upset. He went on. 'tl have a feeling you love me too. IYill you marry me ? Lillian turned a deep red and tllen became very pale. Iler' heart ached to give him the satisfaction, which he de- sired. but pride and fear prevented her from uncovering her true feelings about him. Frank she broke the silence. In- stantly he turned and was about to take her in his arms, when she sobbed. NI ean't marry you I Knowing that she was not a girl who would change her mind or ever hint at the mystery which necessitated this reply. Frank determined to solve it.

IVhat time does the train leave D? Two-thirty. Good night V, called Lillian as she ascended the stairs. Peep- ing through her window, she smiled sad- ly, thinking she might have been out there with Frank. t'Lillian Bennett, she at- tacked herself sternly, without a cent to buy' a trousseau or leave your mother, how can you ever dream of getting mar- ried 'F' E W E L 15 The next morning Lillian didn't no- tice the beautiful sunshine, as she ate her breakfast. Her lids were swollen from long hours of weeping. Suddenly the door opened. Telegram for Mith Bennettf' lisped a tiny barefoot boy in blue overalls. Lillian jumped from her seat and grabbed the letter. Oh, mother, scream- ed Lillian. Look at this! Rushing in- to the kitchenette, she fiourished a certi- fied check for +1000 before her mother's astonished eyes. HI never dreamed--I for- got about--It's first prize for- For what? excitedly questioned Mrs. Bennett. HThe first day we come, I was so happy that I sat down and wrote a short. story, and sent it in to the Liberty.', Oh, mother, we can pay the hospital bill, our outstanding accounts, and I can mar- ry Frank, she blurted. Then her face fell. I refused him last night because of--well. circumstances! However, if he still wants me-- You bet he doesll' grinned Frank from the parlor doorway. How did you get here? inquired L-illian joyfully.

Leighton, '39 W Ili 1? :IF FRIENDSHIP Riches indeed are very' fine, Health, love, and beauty too, But what is life without a friend, A friend who is good and true? A friend who'll always help you In sorrow and in woe, Whose love will ever be with you No matter where you go. Thus, as you go through life's hard storms, You'll be helped along' the way By a friend who will be faithful Wheii all else is swept away. Now, stop to think a moment Of this gift that God can send: Then take this earthly blessing, And pause to be a friend. E . Leighton, '39 THE JEVVEL MAINE From North to South, From sea to sea, XVherever fancies roam, There's a place that is dear and near to me, Our State of Maine and home. Her coasts are very ruggedg Her homes are full of cheer, Bidding the traveling' stranger To come to nestle here. The myriad streams, mountains and lakes, ller wondrous beauty shroud, To give her glamour all supreme To make her people proud. Thus to our own dear, happy home VVe will always loyal beg Wherever we stray, there will be a day Vilhen our thoughts will be of thee. W.

Co-operate in every way That safety may reach its height. NVhy disregrard the traffic laws? They re really for your protection, Don't risk smashing that nice new car-- Just slow down at the intersection. lVhile at work in the shop each day, Make use of safety devices. Don't play the part of the careless oneg Lives canlt be bought for the highest prices. Guards on machines are there for a purpose, Goggles protect the eyes, Safety shoes are next on the list, And the man who wears them is wise. Safety at home is important, too. Good housekeeping plays its part. Just think--from a mere pile of dust An explosion is likely to start. T H E J E W E L VVhy not resolve, in this new year, To make every day a safe one?

He had left his home in Dartmouth, Facing the sea without fear. Life was full of fun and dangers For the lads who sailed the sea, But it was Collins, greatest desire That back at home he might be. Behind him he had left his sweetheart, His dark-eyed Anita Louise. She hadn't promised to be faithful, She said she'd do as she pleased. He had been so set on his traveling The beautiful, beautiful seas, That he thought he would have no regret At leaving his Anita Louise. But all night long until day break, As the stars would twinkle and shine, Collins' utmost thoughts XVere of the girl he had left behind. THE JEVVEL Next morn there was a message, From Anita Louise and John, UI am marrying your brother tomorrow Of whom I am very fond. if 'F W fl? SATURDAYS CHILDREN On a beautiful Saturday morning At the first of the month of March, VVe left for Mr. Leighton's cottage, That was nestled mid pine and larch. On Meddybemps Lake we found it, A haven of peace and rest, But we soon found out that morning, That things weren't going' their best. XVe played at cards all the morning, Only stopping' to walk up the stream, Until a boy from the doorway shouted The spaghetti was no longer a dream. For an hour' we fought with spaghetti, Nearly dying afterwards of cramps, Then after the dishes were washed and away, NVQ went off on a series of tramps. On returning, a thrilling thing happened. I was posed for a flying' leap, Unknowing of that fatal mishap That found my rescuer and me in a heap. Then Liz and Fan had a quarrel Over the attentions of Mr. Cox. IIe's the guy with the glittering cye, Tall and handsome with curly locks. A truce was declared before eveningrg Every one was happy and gay. And we left the camp very happy, After such an eventful day!

XVe feel that they give the average student a fine chance to learn to dance and to spend his leisure time, without being subjected to the une desirable atmosphere which is usually connected with the average dance hall. These dances are a valuable addition to our school life, and as such we, hope they will be continued next year. :Ks SF Pl? HX: FIRST AID COURSE During the last two months Miss Cochrane, the school nurse, has been c011- ducting three classes of Senior High girls in First Aid. All these girls have passed the tests satisfactorily. The object of this course was not to qualify the girls to be doctors or nurses, but to teach them to know, in case of an accident, what to do until the doctor comesg such as, performing artificial res- piration, bandaging, and setting broken limbs. Although we hope that no sad fate may come to any one, we never know when an. accident may occurg therefore. at some later date the knowledge of this course may prove to be very valuable. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE Our language students have been car- rying on correspondence with ma11y fOr- eign students--French for the most part, with some letters reaching to Estonia and South Africa. The names of foreign stu- dents are received from a company which is working to promote international un- derstanding of customs and habits and a knowledge of how others work and play. The students have found that, fOr the most part, they receive rapid and in- terested replies which show that foreign students are eager' to know about us and glad to have the opportunity to find out. Photographs are exchanged, and inter- esting bits of information find their way back and forth across the sea to give each student a better understanding of these young people than any book could offer. In addition to this, the correspon- dence gives our students a chalice to ex- ercise their knowledge of the language they are studying as well as offering their correspondents an opportunity to show their ability to write English, Below are found translations of some of the letters received by our students with a few excerpts in French.

Dk Pl? -lk JUNIOR PROM Under the efficient management of Mr. Leighton, a class meeting was con- ducted on April 8 to make plans, choose committees, and decide upon the class colors for Junior Prom. The class voted for Crafts Orches- tra and the following committees: Gener- al committee, Phyllis Shain, Thomas Tal- bot, Muriel Ashely, Irene James, and Philip Robb, Decorating Committee, Els- ton Mitchell, XVinifred Holst and VVilfred McLellan, Refreshment Committee, Jean McLellan, NVinifred Perkins and Leslie Sprague. These pupils will take charge of the arrangements for the dance, but all members of the Junior class will be asked to offer their services in one Way or another. Mr, Hanscom has made plans for decorating in four shades: light amber, amber, light orange, and orange, and we feel that as in previous years we will have a ball room of which We may be proud.

The class, after' due consideration, felt they wanted to be in step with the times and decided to compose and produce a court scene, showing their accomplishments during all the years of schooling. In this dramatization, American Society, challen- ges the members of the class of '38 to prove their fitness to e11ter adult life. The following students were chosen by' the class to take part in the trial: Judge, Lorang Norman Clerk, Elizabeth Faloon District Attorney, Charles Cox Class Attorney, Francis Brown 40 THE XVitnesses : Priscilla McLeod Norman Ellsmore Verna VVarr Mavis Hanscom Annie Cox Lloyd Norman Irene Severance Bertha Leeman Christina Travis Vina Gallant Ruth Strout Bernardine Seamans Maurice Morang Althea Barstow Alberta Haynes Eda DeChene Jurors: Vanessa Gaddis Elizabeth Bires Ruth Barnard Christine Harvey Lawrence Sprague Laura Grant Criminals: Philip Mooreside Jessie Bacon Practical demonstrations and music will be added attractions for this year too. NVe feel that our parents and friends will tind our graduation both in- teresting and amusing. HOME ECONOMICS OB DOMESTIC SCIENCE At the beginning of the year we had fifteen new members, divided into tivo divisions, from the XVo0dland School. This is about half our usual number in the seventh grade. 'We should be able to show more marked progress with the extra individ- ual time given to each of us. Our cloth- ing projects were not so numerous as in former years, owing to the change in the schedule and classes meeting on alter- nate days. where formerly they met daily. Food values are difficult to under- stand, so we have spent much time on them. However, as time passes and ac- tual meals are planned, prepared, and served, this knowledge will be very val- uable. The eighth grade had very succes- ful canning and jelly making projects in the Fall. Perhaps these are more inter'- esting to many because of the results they may carry home so proudly. This EXVEL business of foods is certainly more than what the word implies and much time must be spent in other ways tl1a11 cook- ing. Our progress in clothing has been very much hindered because of the sew- ing machines continued insistence to form poor stitches. However, with plan- ning and much diligence we have com- pleted a display of knitted, crocheted and embroidered articles, so time has not been wasted. This year coulottes are even more popular projects than last. It is surprising how many patterns we have used from the ditlerent companies, and the varied manners of obtaining the same results. ,Style changes are very apparant from year to year, but there has been a decided change in construction over the last few years. lNlJlTSTll IATA TICAININC liet's visit the Manual 'lraining shop at three different intervals and see what is going on down there as regards pro- gress made over a three year period. lVhat better way to find out for oursel- ves whether or not lnduz-itrial Training is worth while? This is the seventh grade class, who have just come to shop for the tirst time. They notice all the tools, machines and 'other shop equipment. llow interesting it looks, but they ask themselves what all those tools are for. At home their fa- thers haven't all those tools. They have saws and hammers, a chisel or two, bit brace a11d square, but the boys have never dreamed so many different tools existed. Imagine having to learn all those things and what they're for. Before many weeks go by these same boys know every tool in the shop, its use and how to care for it. They also learn to read a rule thow many men can do that correctlytj. and they are taught the different essential things about wood. They are being' instructed in Mechanical T H E Drawing, a course of which ill itself is very beneficial to any youngster, and which will be of immeasurable help to him when he encounters such subjects as geometry, physics, mechanical engineer- ing a11d the like. Mechanical Drawing trains a child to figure out problems in construction or analysis for himself, be- cause only a part of a drawing is placed before him at the outset and the neces- sary information regarding development of the rest of the problem is supplied in instructional form by the teacher. Prob- lems in accuracy are given at various in- tervals to help trai11 the pupils to meas- ure and figure correctly. Quite a change as regards the seventh grade boys' me- chanical ability makes itself manifest by the end of the school year. ln wood- work l1e understands single problems in- measuring, use of coping saw, volving plane, sandpaper and finishing material. ln the eighth grade we find boys making such articles as medicine cabi- nets, foot-stools, small tables and book- cases. These projects involve measur- ing, layout work, designing, sawing, plan- ing, sanding and finishing. Vllhen the job is completed the boy has something to take home that is useful there in the material sense. XVhat the boy has learn- ed while making it is of far more value to him and will prove more beneficial in years to come than all the articles put together. Eighth grade boys also take a step further along theoretical lines. They learn about finishing materials, coated abrasives, board measure, the dif- ferent kinds of nails, brads, screws. etc, In Mechanical Drawing these boys are confronted with more advanced prob- lems. These are along the same lines. technically speaking, the seventh grade problems, but each new drawing invol- ves a new step to be mastered along with EVV EL 41 a test of What the pupil has retained from his previous endeavors. The third and final year of regular shop work finds the ninth grade boys engaged in still more advanced branches of industrial preparation. Some of the boys are allowed to operate the machines under direct supervision ofthe teacher. Cabinet making is undertaken in this grade and the pupils draw their own plans of the project they wish to make. These pla11s are carefully checked, and before actually starting to construct the article various changes will perhaps be made according to the discretion of the teacher with respect to the pupils, de- gree of skill and ability. Tool sharpen- ing is another part of the ninth grade course. In Mechanical Drawing the boys in this grade are given more difficult problems to Work out. By the e11d of the year they should be able to draw neatly, accurately and with a reasonable amount of skill. High School students are sometimes permitted by the principal to take Man- during their Junior and ual Training Senior years. lf the principal decides, inspected the boy's schol- after having astic record, that he may attend shop classes, the pupil reports either one or two periods each day. Credit toward graduation is given high school students taking Manual Training. The work out- li11ed for these boys includes cabinet mak- weaving, chair caning, woodturing ing, a11d designing. Some very fine projects made by the eleventh and twelfth are grade boys. A cordial invitation is extended to all of you to come to visit us in the Man- ual Training shop. NVouldn't you like to see your boy working at a bench and have him explain to you the many inter- esting things about lndustrial Training? -4 4 'I lG'VI3.XI,l. BASK YQ O B THE JEWEL 43 Athletics p BA SKETBALL The 'Woodland High School Basket- ball team had a very successful season. They had six veterans to start with! T. Talbot, A. Harriman, L. James, N. Ellsinore, C. Bowers and C. Cox. The new recruits were as follows: M. Morang, K. Leighton, YV. Coggin, P. Robb and S. Gagnon. Charles Cox was elected cap- tain, and when he did not appear' in the line-up, his duties were taken over by one of the other members of the team. The season started off with Coach XVahl putting the boys through hard workouts, and because of his excellent planning and coaching, he developed a fast cutting and shooting squad. The team forged ahead with N. Ells- more and T. Talbot doing most of the shooting, while James and Harriman did the work of the backboards and Cox acted as backguard. The subs did an ex- cellent job when relieving the regulars. The school children and townspeople stood behind the team all the way by packing the gym in every home game. Many' attended out of town games. For the first time in ten years, the Viloodland High School basketball team won all of its home games. Eighteen games were played. and Wloodland won thirteen and lost five. Two games were lost by one point margins, to Machias High and Harrington High. The other three loses were to Vtiashington Academy, Efastport High, and Calais Academy. Vtlhen at the Machias tournament. our boys played the big rugged team of Harrington. lt was a fast and exciting game all the way through. Vtloodland had Harrington 10 points at the half. 1Vhen the final gun went otf, everyone in the hall thought VVoodland had won. but the official score keeper came down to tell them that the Woodland team had lost by one point. . When the basketball season was al- most finished, Woodland played the Washington County' Champs CWashington Aeademyj at Woodlaiid and beat them 22 to 24. This game Was one of the most exciting ones of the season. , A good team is in prospect for next year, as only N. Ellsmore, C. Cox and M. Morang will graduate in June. Seven candidates are expected to answer the call for candidates for next year's quin- tet. ' The seasons record is as follows: XV. H. S. 54 Alumnil 32 XV. H. S. 25 C. C. C. 10 XV. II.

Eda DeChene was elected Captain and Phyllis Shain, Manager. The veterans from the past year were: Rita DeChene, Eda DeChene, Eliza- beth Bires, Jessie Bacon, Alberta Hay- nes and Mavis Hanscom. Some new members were: Ruth Barnard, Phyllis Shain and Maxine Shain. Through grad- uation the Purple and Gold lost Norma Coons, Arline Harriman and Edna Smith. However, they came out in top honors this year with a winning team. Our girls captured ten of the twelve games played, one being lost to their rival, Calais, and the other to Eastport. All the games were hard fought, and we have had every reason to be proud of our girls' team this year. Cooperation with the coach had much to do with the win- ning of our games, especially the most exciting game of the season, the Calais game at the VVoodland gym. The individual scores for the for- wards were follows: Eda DeChene 245, Alberta Haynes 119, Rita DeChene 87, Maxine Shain 21, Phyllis Shain 12, and Ruth Barnard 11. Eda DeChene, team captain, was chosen all county forward for the 'fourth consecutive year, and Jessie Bacon ob- tained honorable mention. t'The best record in girls' basketball achieved throughout Ykfashington Coun- ty during the last quarter century or more has been created by Vkioodland High's star, Eda DeChene. This tiny whirlwind has starred as a forward on the Paper Townls sextet for four con- secutive years, each one of which she was her teams high scorer. Wlhile only a Sophomore, the VV. H. S. players elected her captain, an honor she has held without interruption since that time. Eda caged 244 points in nine games for an average of 27 counters per con- test this season, for perhaps the most EVVEL 45 phenominal mark in Eastern Court His- tory. lt didn't matter how closely she was covered, or whether her mates were experiencing off nights, she just stepped ou the throttle, thrilling rivals and spec- tators alike. It was always a decided treat to observe her coolness in the uclutchesn and her utter brilliance when put to the test.

The Juniors won with a. score of 30 to 19. The next game was between the Sophomores and P. Gfs, with the Sopho- mores playing an excellent game. The Sophomores won, with the score of 34 to 38. Then the mighty Juniors played the Freshmen and beat them 44 to 12. The following night they played the Sopho- 46 THE JEXVEL mores. The periods were shortened to five minute instead of eight minute ones. After a see-saw back and forth, the Sophomores won by some brilliant plays. The mighty Juniors just couldn't get their great scoring system going until too late. The scoring for the Juniors was done by Talbot, James and Bowers, while the Sophomore scoring was done for the most part by Harriman, Leighton and XVest.

The Boys' trophy was awarded to the Sophomores, who won over the Freshmen, Seniors and Juniors. After playing these games, some of the players usually are picked for the high school team. the next fall. Many school boys and girls attend these games and usually cheer for the weaker team. The members of the boys' team were as follows' Carl VVest and Scott Russell, forwards, Edward Knee- land, center! Darrell Ellsmore and Law- rence Perkins, guards. The Girls' trophy was won by the Freshmen girls who played very good basketball. Every team showed the usual good sportsmanship, which has been taught always at the St. Croix High School. The members of the girls' team were as follows: Lucy Leland, Effie Per- kins, Grace Seamans, Josephine Coviello, and Doris Allen. It is an honor for the Freshmen girls to win the trophy from the Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. BASEBALL The last year's baseball team made a Very good showing by winning 9 out of 12 games. Donald Mercier did excellent work behind the plate ,while most of the pitching was done by L. James, who took his brother's place. N. Ellsmore excelled on the mound and in the field too, at the same time keeping up his batting average. Second base was controlled by T. Talbot, who is keeping up the Talbot record of fine baseball. Omar Talbot, on first, had the high- est batting average of the school and played his part like a veteran. M. Bag- ley, shortstop, covered his territory well and batted with the best of them. C. Bowers and P. Robb handled third Very efficiently. C. Bowers was noted for his quick thinking, while Robb was famous for his fielding. Other outstanding play- ers were: C. NVest, H. Gaddis, C. Cox, D. Ellsmore, L. Sprague and E. Greco. Coach VVahl. will start practice as soon as possible. He thinks he will have the team in trim at the time of the open- ing game. He will have new candidates: such as A. Harriman, E. Kneeland, VV. Goggin, Kenneth Leighton and Joe Robb.
