Barbershop Quartet I know my rights Yes, teacher1 The Dictators Strawberry Blondes Needed a pinch of salt Formal session The wrong way CL Sotuf- and Massachusetts With Patriotism as its main theme, the annual carnival held on November 12-13 fell into full swing. The auditorium was filled to the brim, with only the sounds of rustling procrams and a few hushed whispers heard before the trumpeters heralded in the 1943 festival. The stcge show was full of colorful acts, varying from gay musicals to Me-proud-beauty dramatic sketches with a few words from Berlin, Tokio, and Rome to add spice. The aroma of hot dogs and hamburgers drifted down from the G. R. Can- teen, enticing many, while the gaily decorated G.A.A. Ice Cream booth diverted those not quite so hungry. In the gym the “D” club furnished all the athletically in- clined with a acme of pitch and toss at the head of their favorite footbcll player. And there was the Hi-Y Medieval Castle with ell its apprehension and pungent odors and the screams of the tortured—with terror lurkinq in every corner of the hidden depths of the locker room. A wel :om 3 sight after these horrors was the Gymnastic Club exhibition where a comical twist was added by the few parents who dared a chance on the trampoline. From the Junior Telegram Booth came the calls of the messengers having difficulty finding their particular party. After this, there was dancing to “Ye Olde Juke-box for those with still enough energy. On the stroke of twelve the curtain came down on another high school carnival, and the tired but happy merry-makers bid fcrewell to the halls of dear old D. G., leaving behind only empty booths and silence. 22

It may have been the weather, but a special degree of enthusiasm was evident this year, turning out more fans than ever before. Soccer, with its rough and tumble games,- speedball, in preparation for future tournaments,- and field hockey for the upperclassmen, were some of the major interests,- and a small group of Robin Hood fans could be seen each week trying their skill at archery at the south end of the field. The tournaments were examples of fine sports- manship among the girls, and although Jeanne Kolzow’s senior team was the only one to come thru the season undefeated, all the gals worked faithfully with their teams in an effort to achieve organizations that clicked on the playing field. With signs of the first frost in the air, the fun-loving bunch turned its attention to winter activities—ready and raring to go.

 VyiyAtarui- Ghost stories, wierd stories, and murders, too —add a little love life, noise, and confusion and you’ll get Seven Keys to Baldpate, the all-school play presented October 28 and 29. Mr. William H. Magee has made a $5000 bet with his employer, Mr. Bently, that he can write a novel in 24 hours. He is given the only key to Baldpate Inn and warned that ghosts are present. Mr. Magee considers himself lucky—a sum- mer resort in the dead of winter—no one can possibly disturb him there. Enter a man—also under the illusion that he has the only key to Baldpate—a sinister man with a gun. Does a mere thing like a gun stop our hero? He deftly ap- plies the brain-over-brawn technique and presto, the situation is under control—he thinks. Enter heroine and chaperon, a hermit, a gun-moll and a few villains—each with his own key. Finally enter Mr. Bently, who explains that the whole thing was a conspiracy—just a joke on Magee. CAST OF CHARACTERS Elijah Ouimby Val Claus Mrs. Quimby Barbara Broberg William H.
