THE MYSTERY OF THE LOST DUKE [Continued from page 16] fell with a splintering crash. The first thing that met my gaze was the form of a great, fat man reclining in the bathtub. His long, white, waxed mustache quivered as he lay there in the throes of sleep, snoring away like a boiler factory. At the other end of the tub the water was slowly flowing from the taps and gently sending ripples in the direction of the slumped- over old man, and at any moment they threatened to enter his gaping jaws. A suit of clothes lay near by. “Why, h’it’s 'is Lawdship”, breathed the butler in awed tones. “Just in time,” said Wolmes in a matter-of-fact tone. “In another min- ute we’d have been too late.” He shut off the water taps and removed the drainage plug. “When His Lordship awakens,” he directed the butler, “give him my compliments, and tell him to avoid that ring around the bathtub.” It was some hours later, back in Wolmes’s lodging on Baker Street, as we were sipping our coffee and discussing our latest adventure, that I suddenly remembered there was one thing he hadn’t explained. “I sye there, Wolmes,” I queried, “’ow did you deduce that the Duke was in the manor ?” Wolmes chuckled. “Elementary, Hotson, elementary. Didn’t you notice His Lordship’s tall, silk hat in the anteroom when we first entered the dwelling?” He smiled and said dryly, “I’ve never known a Duke yet who’d go out of doors without a ‘stove pipe’ on.” AMATEUR RADIO [Continued from page 8] The real fun in “Ham” radio begins when one actually “gets on the air”. Building a transmitter is fun; just ask any “Ham”. There is a thrill in carrying on a conversation through the medium of dots ’n’ dashes with someone who is 1000 or even 10,000 miles away. Some amateurs have transmitting equipment which enables them actually to talk with other “Hams”. As verification of contact between two stations, amateurs often exchange what are known in “Ham” language as QSL cards. These state the time, date, and quality of reception, and indicate the type of the sender’s transmitting and receiving equipment. A code of communication and ab- breviations similar to shorthand have been built up by amateurs. Messages are sent all over the world free of charge by amateurs who have formed into “nets” or groups and maintain regular schedules for re- ceiving and delivering all kinds of messages. The 30,000 or more licensed amateur operators are kept banded together by the American Radio Relay League, which acts as the representative for “Hamdom”. Take my word for it, Amateur Radio is a great hobby!

GH LIGHTS XXX COUNCIL MEMBERS ATTEND CONVENTION The Student Council, under the guidance of Miss Wakeman and Mr. Noyes, is becoming more and more active. The council is limited to twelve members, seven repre- sentatives from the senior class, three from the junior, and two from the sophomore. Florence Kent is president and Elizabeth Sweeney is Secretary-Treasurer. Problems undertaken by the Council this year have been the sale of Brockton pins, sale of sea- son tickets, Open-House Night, ap- pointment of cafeteria marshalls, and Valentine Matinee Dance. Recently three delegates, Jimmy Wilson, Elizabeth Sweeney, and Miriam Mattson were sent from the Council to the Convention of the Associated Body of Student Coun- cils, held at Springfield. Much valu- able information about the activ- ities of councils and clubs in other schools was acquired and it is hoped that some of the ideas may serve to develop our own Council into a more active and helpful or- ganization. MANY MUSICAL ACTIVITIES PLANNED The Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs are now having rehearsals for the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, “The Gondoliers.” It is to be presented May 9. The main leads are: The Duchess—Helen Trescott; Casilda —Fay Loring; Gianetta—Mary Coletti; Tessa—Irene Roberge; The Duke—John Caporale; Marco—Al- fred Starett; Guiseppi—Sylvester Carosi; and Luiz—George Murch. The Senior Orchestra and Band are preparing for the Massachu- setts State Festival of Orchestras and Bands, to be held on April 28. The contest numbers for the band this year are, “The Barber of Se- ville,” by Rossini and the “Turan- dot Overture”, by Lachner. The orchestra is preparing Brahm’s “Fifth Hungarian Dance” and “The Angelus” by Henry Hadley. An instrumental quartette has been organized this year under the direction of Mrs. Berthold. It in- cludes Anthony Battista—violin; Sylvia Knuttenan—’cello; Selma Whitehead—flute; and Rita Arsen- ault—piano. FACULTY REVEALS VARIED INTERESTS SENIORS TO PRESENT “SKIDDING” The famous Quincy High School coach, Mr. Franklin B. Mitchell, has once again taken in hand the actors and actresses of the gradu- ating class, in preparation for their play. The production, which is to be presented on the evening of April 13, is “Skidding”, a comedy in three acts by Aurania Rouveral. The cast is as follows: Aunt Milly—Louise Connors; Mrs. Hardy —Erna Koss; Estelle Hardy Camp- bell—Evelyn Gustafson; Marion Hardy—Natalie McCormack; Myra Hardy Wilcox—Pauline Wheble; Andy—Richard Cooke; Judge Hardy—George Reardon; Grandpa Hardy—James Joss; Wayne Tren- ton III—Alfred Peterson; Mr. Stubbins—Lawrence Fitzgerald. VALENTINE DANCE A SUCCESS The first matinee dance held this year was the Valentine Dance, an informal affair under the auspices of the Student Council. There were many who enjoyed tripping the light fantastic (if such might be termed the modem dancing) and socially and financially it scored a big hit. J’34 HOLDS SPRING DANCE On the evening of March 16, in a gym attractively decorated with blue and white lanterns and streamers and posters of athletic- ally-minded people partaking in spring sports, one of the best spring dances ever held in Q. H. S. was sponsored by the J’34 class. Under the soft lights, to the sweet music of a ten piece orchestra, (which, by the way, was good,) about three hundred students danced the evening away. The decorations were in charge of Miss McCarthy of the faculty, and Louise Connors. Dick Purring- ton took charge of the tickets and Pauline Wheble assisted Miss Lewis with the refreshments. Cooking, Sports, Astronomy, Included Our distinguished teachers’ spare time is not, as many would have us paring tests.

Miss Clark, Miss Nevens, Miss Galleher, and Mr. Noyes are all devotees of music. Miss Berry s favorite past-time is reading. Miss Shaw makes a collection of pic- tures of the interiors and exteriors of cathedrals and w'hen travelling she plans to see as many as pos- sible. Miss Zeller is fond « walk- ing “in any country”. Miss Wheeler plans trips and then enjoys taking her outlined excursion. Miss Gou- dey’s hobby turns to the briny deep—she must be an excellent fisherwoman for as proof of this astounding fact she has two sharks teeth in her desk. Here are some of the favonte pastimes: Miss Dawes—knitting Miss Lantz—block printing and hand crafts Miss Giles—landscape gardening Miss Kambour—cooking Miss Baker—drawing Miss Burns—automobiling Miss Carville—contemporary the- Mr. Knapton—driving “fast” Mr. Collins—fishing Miss McCarthy—tennis Miss Magraw—outdoor sports Miss Marr—music,flowers,diving.
