But you can remember—that is cheap— You can put your hand in your pocket and come out with enough memories to last the live-long day. Like the time when the spring walks right out of the gray brick building and treads across the green velvet lawn to the street. The morning sun shines on the Dough-Boy statue . . . Your strolls arc to the drugstore for cherry cokes and hamburgers. Yes, your memory time will be spotted with faces—not clear—but blurred like the fog-covered mountains in the morning. No, only the leaves come back—come to the countless front steps, and play about the flag pole at whose top “Old Glory waves against the blue. As you go to school, you may be lucky enough to get a nod from Mr. Knapton and David as the)- walk briskly, each carrying a brief case.—And there are always Mr. Jack and Mr. Kidder scurrying down the corridors, talking as fast as they're walking ... or the gang listening while Mr. Lyon tells a good joke. And you wonder if the others will remember. There were dances ... the jitterbugs ... the boys with their shirt-tails out . . . girls in slacks ... the Cheerleaders' assembly ... the football rallies.

Marshall was a very sad and de- jected little fellow who went about his business from day to day tearfully but courageously. He knew he could never be like the other little animals who lived in the large forest, fcr he had S. A. (which in this case was ' swollen ankles'.) He was an outcast. Yes. horrid fact, but true! Every evening Marshall would poke his head out of his undergrcund lair, spit out his mouthful of dirt, and cry in a loud, plaintive voice, Who will come play with me?” Terrence, the turtle, Montgomery, the mink, and Schleswig, the skunk, who were passing by, would answer, No one, Marshall, for we are going down to Proctor Possum's Paradise Palace and get blind'. You can't come; you are already blind, and there would be no one to bring you home. So Marshall would turn away to hide his tear-filled eyes and silently creep back into the comforting darkness of his home. Life went on in this hopeless cycle day after day until he thought he could stand it no longer. As he was burrowing cautiously one afternoon, however, he felt his nose meet something that felt suspiciously like ancther nose! Could it be? A fiendish idea popped into his head and raced madly through his two-cylinder brain. Marshall bit the object in question as hard as his little jaws could bite. There was a deafening scream followed by a sorrowful voice saying, Why, Marshall, how could you do such a thing? Don't you know me? I am your childhood sweetheart, Magnolia, returned to become your wife!” Marshall swallowed hard, stammered something to the effect that Magnolia should make herself at home, and rushed off frantically for Pauncefaute Porcupine, the preacher. They had a quiet wedding that very afternoon with only Rudolph Racoon and Stanley Snipe as witnesses. He was now tremendously happy, for he was no longer lonely! Day after day hurried by rapidly, and Marshall knew not the meaning of sorrow. Ever)’ evening when he returned home from his work of digging subway tunnels for gophers, he would call out, Are you home, Magnolia?” The answer would come back loud and clear, Yes, Marshall, arc you?” Yes indeed, he was happy! Life was but a song, but the voice of Fate cracked in the singing of it. Oh, much as it pains me to relate it, I must mention how tragedy struck into this joyous home! One day Marshall returned home as usual. Arc you home, Magnolia? —no answer. He called again------no answer. He began to fear for her safety, and cold sweat broke out on his brow. As he felt his way through the apartment, he found a note (in Braille) from Magnolia. Marshall, it said, I have run away with the ice man, Waldo Weasel. He owns an ice house and is making a lot of cold cash, and you will never be anything but a tunnel digger. Farewell, good-bye, adieu, adios, and all stuff like that there— Magnolia.” She was gene--------his life sank back into its former darkness. All happiness was gone. Now Marshall sits at home alone and thinks of the happiness of the days of yore. Then he remembers the famous quotation, The punishment for bigamy is two mothers- in-law! and he is contented. Walter Smith. The abominable subject of Topic choosing is very near and dear to the hearts of all of us, especially in college preparatory English classes. Have you ever had an assignment to prepare an outline for a 500 to 600 word essay” tossed nonchalantly at you?1 For the entire time between the day of assignment and the day of reckoning (all of 24 hours) you probably tore hair out by fistfuls trying to let a glimmer of inspiration through to your brain.’ Therefore, to spare you miserable victims the harrowing, horrible, and hideous torture of subject picking, I am endeavoring to present a few subjects for your consid- eration. I have suffered so much under this strain that I have decided to offer these suggestions in an effort to end all persecution and tribulation.3 Probably the most popular field of endeavor, especially for the boys, is that of sports. A vast array of topics presents itself in a wide and vivid panorama. The topics occur in many forms: Ball, Base, Basket, Volley, and Foot”, or Sailing Mousetraps on Rattail Lake”. Of course, you don't have to take these. Many of the less active sportsmen find great comfort and consolation in 'Knitting vs. Needlepoint” and Tatting vs. Rug-hook- ing. 4 Flea vs. Louse—A Battle to Death” would hold enormous appeal for the sports fan, particularly the nature-minded sports enthusiast. In this field, I have only scraped the surface;5 I haven't even mentioned the aquatic family. This group includes swimming, sunburn, boating, and dishpan hands in addition to other subjects such as Doing Big Things in the Water,” or: I Wrestle a Whale. 6 Already some of you ardent searchers may have found a subject which should suit you to a tec.” 7 Many of these masculine activities would please the girls, too. However, their essay titles should suggest something more sensitive and cultured, and they should have glamour and allure. For instance, a discussion of the contributions to the war effort by the gentler sex in song titles.8 These (the titles) would include I’ve Been Working on the Railroad” and Rosie the Riveter” among others that I'm too lazy to think or. 1 guess that's enough said for sports (probably too much). Science is still another field in which many get lost. 9 Ponder a while upon The Kinetic Molecular Theory as Applied to the Thermoplasticity of Synthetic Rubbers in the Butadiene class.” Just think of the effect on the teacher; 10 she would take one look and faint. If we mix two or three fields of science, the product would follow the form of “Static Electricity and its effect on the nervous system of the Dinosaur.” 11 Those fiends for the passionate approach would choose something like The Life and Loves of the Lowly Eugiena,” or The Passionate Appeals of the Poor, Perplexed Paramesium.” These subjects arc all pretty deep so watch your step. 12 If you take them with a grain of salt, your indigestion will calm down, and the)’ might taste better. 13 Since there are a few music enthusiasts in dear old Q.H.S., it becomes utterly impos- sible for me to forget sound. A carefully prepared analysis of the differences in tonal quality between the school bell at 8:30 a.m. and at 2:30 p.m., should prove of inestimable value to mankind. I'm sure also that any music lover would appreciate The Unfinished Symphony, or: Who Killed Frankie?” These are a few suggestions 14 and you, dear reader, can have them. 15 And as you have this wealth of suggestion, you should harken to my advice. Take heed, all ye students; delve into the unknown, try to make it known, and may you never be in want of a topic for an essay. FINISHED On Oiow to Icicle a J4c or5e You can't judge a horse by its appearance! should be your watchword when you are talked into taking a brisk canter by some well-meaning friend. Even the most docile appearing animal may show surprising energy when she has you out alone in the wide- open spaces. It is always best to tell the owner of the stable of ycur inexperience and trust to his tender mere)'. If he should bring out a ferocious looking brute, don't be frightened— just remember that he knows his horses and is in no position to profit by your death. It is always best to come well equipped with apples and carrots as a peace offering toward your horse. Although some higher type horses may become offended by being offered a bribe, most of them, like humans, have their price. After your horse has been duly rewarded in this way, the problem of mounting arises. Riding books say the best way to do this is to hold the reins with the left hand and the stirrup with the right. Then just swing yourself up. However, some people may find this plan a little difficult, so I sug- gest leading your horse to the nearest rock, fence, box, or any other thing that is of sufficient height, and securing your start from there, scramble aboard. The main thing to be cautious about is that when you are up, you are facing the animal's bow and not his stern. You may be inclined to think that now you are on the horse, your troubles arc over. On the contrary, they arc just beginning! Your worries about getting up arc over; now all you have to do is to stay where you are. It is at this point that most of the troubles are likely to be encountered. Many people have passionately wished that a horse could go no faster than a walk, for it is when the horse is walking that you arc reasonably com- fortable and at no other time. If you are foolish enough to kick your horse, or in any other way urge her to greater speed, you will send her into a trot. A trot is a frame- shaking, bone-rattling gait that I am told is very pleasant when you learn to post. Posting might be described as a sort of pushing up from the saddle and coming in contact with it every second rather than every bounce. The wisdom of this is easily seen but not so easily applied. The average person is thrown up at each separate bounce, and halfway down comes into contact with the saddle (which is coming up to meet you) with a responding smack. After a while this experience will remind you of the time your mother put you across her checkered apron for swiping the cookies from the cookie jar. After a few minutes of trotting, you are beginning to realize how much common sense there was in those people who ate off the mantle piece for a week after their first ride. Your companions, the murderous bunch, are just warming up; and one shouts back, How about that canter?” You, by this time, arc so weakened by the continuous torture that you can do no more than feebly raise your hand in what is meant to be a parting salute. They consider this gesture your willing consent and break their horses into a brisk canter. One obliging friend, feeling that you are having trouble with your mount, playfully gives her a walloping whack as he canters by. That is all your horse needed. Never having liked you from the moment you crawled on her back, she now seeks retaliation. Suddenly you find yourself rushing by your friends, whose encouraging yells only tend to speed your journey. The saddle feels very V slippery now, and you have difficult)- remaining in it. All thought of retaining your stirrups has vanished and your one endeavor is to stay on the top of the cyclone. As you round a rather sharp corner, you arc quite surprised to find that the horse is going one way, and you another. Your surprise takes the form of pain, however, as you land on a combination of hard ground, sharp stones, and needle-pointed pine cones. You are just managing to pick up what's left of you when along ceme your friends with many an excited remark about how well you were doing up to now, but not to be discouraged, just get back on the horse and you will be a veteran by the end of the ride. No one can question as they lead her up, that there is a smirk on your horse's face and a gleam of anticipation in her soleful brown eyes. One look is enough to convince you what your course will be. Your body aches and your mind is dull; but you know one thing—you are going to walk the rest of the way home! Patricia Wilson During the first immature years at grammar school, we are exposed to a great many varying types of teachers. As is our natural impulse, we first look upon them with a mixture of awe and fear. We fear them, not as individuals, but, because from early childhood, we have had imbedded into our massive beings a humble respect for our elders; and although wc often question this at times, we never dare let it proceed any further. So we spend the first few years of schooling in constant fear of the schoolmarm.” This can't go on forever, we say (with a certain amount of rash boldness). It doesnt; for now we have arrived at the bratty stage when our extensive vocabularly consists of such words as Aw, shut up,” Oh, yeah and others in the common ver- nacular. It is at this stage of the game when everything seems to offer a challenge. No longer are we content to treat teachers merely as waxen idols. We decide that they have been pampered much too long. So begins the era of comic caricatures. (Any resem- blance to actual teachers, living or otherwise, is purely a mistake.) Junior begins to rise in stature in the eyes of his fellow mischief makers, because he has a knack of bullying teachers that is unequaled by any of his partners in crime.” He develops original pranks which mark him as the boy most likely to serve on the Chain Gang. (This is the period of The Lone Ranger , Dead Eye Dick , and other blood- curdling” detective dramas.) After an indefinite elapse of time, Junior soon tires of annoying teachers with such things as dead rats, insects, and the like”. Anyway, teachers are rapidly approaching the I have-cycs-in-the-back-of-my-head” stage, and the psychological aspect is being applied to classroom study. Junior now realizes that maybe teacher isn’t so dumb” and adopts new forms of annoyances that well fit his present needs. He has now graduated into the upper ranks of teachers’ pests and is favorably looked upon by his teen-age admirers. He has, by this time, acquired a rather extensive knowledge of teachers and is thoroughly capable of competing with the best of them. Soon he has compiled (mentally, if that is possible) an analytical and comprehensive study of teachers in general. His adolescent methods of torture are now old stuff”, and he has come to the conclusion that he has to be much shrewder in their application. He does not dislike teachers, you understand, he’s just immune to them. He wishes their relations to extend no further than the portals of the illustrious halls of learning.” Having come to the significant age of sixteen (or so), he is now able to match wits against them. He has made a few casual guesses as to what their true character my be, and he touches frequently upon certain things which he believes to be their most pregnable- points. He knows considerable about the teacher who is somewhat of a tyrant in class, but who really has a human heart beating beneath her hard exterior, and the teacher who always has a biting remark for each answer, intelligent or otherwise. Believe it or not, he has actually discovered a teacher who, to him, is a regular fella”. That had seemed almost impossible and highly improbable. At the conclusion of his twelfth year, he finds there arc teachers” and also teachers . So, as he graduates with his diploma in one hand and his draft classification in the other, his host of educators heave an inaudible sigh of relief and prepare for the inevitable.

Senior 44 Class Compiled by some of His Children I Mr. Senior Class, child of Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Public, first saw light of day on September 7, 1941, through the windows of Ye Olde Assemblie Hall ' of Quincy High School. At first he was somewhat overawed by his new home, but after his receptive brain became impressed with the fact that with the passing of Junior High Schools passed also disciplined corridors, he, too, willingly contributed his share to the honor and glory ’ of his brothers, 42” and 43 . Ah, yes, there were many radical changes to become accustomed to. Many a 44cr will never forget the time when, not being used to those one-armed contraptions, called chairs, he, a lowly Sophomore, blithely and with the excess of vigor typical of such a person placed his books on the provided shelf; the room resounded with voices of appreciation at the delicate arrangement of the contents of his books, so meticulously preserved during the few weeks of his stay. Some of these people were so favorably impressed that they were tempted, at times, to right a breaker of the Law of Gravity by a careful, well- placed nudge and to be able once more to observe this amazing phenomenon. Too bad, the victims didn't adopt such a scientific viewpoint. That year he was introduced to high school football, and very favorably, too, for that year we beat Brockton and tied Weymouth—no mean feat. Then dawned the last school day before Thanksgiving, only one that year, and the traditional clash. How well he remem- bers that spirited rally of rallies—the cheer leaders started it off with a B-A-N-G, and it was then that he first felt the fire of loyalty and fight surging through his veins like some heady wine. Well, he and his brothers must have imparted some of this fire to the already hot and burning team for they walked all over North to the tune of 34-0! Ray!! Also that year, to Afr. Class's satisfaction, one of his sons, Ignazio Puck Di Christofaro, took the 115-lb. class wrestling championship at the Tech Tourney. Then came December 7, 1941. The next day— he and his brothers, 42 and 43 , adjourned to the hall to hear President Roosevelt make his formal declaration of war. In every heart in school was born a fervent prayer that this turmoil would be concluded by the time he donned the coveted Cap and Gown. They see now that this prayer will never be realized although the end is in view. Shortly, thereafter, the first air-raid drills were inaugurated, and Air. Class and his brothers regularly attended lectures concerning different types of bombs and anti-civilian attacks and precautions. Fortunately they never had occasion to apply that knowledge. Then he prepared for his second birth- day—election was held among his children; President —Arthur Craig; Vice-President—Norma Di Tullio; Secretary—Barbara Casely; Treasurer—Stoddard Hay- den. Finally dawned the last day as Sophomores. II Then on a bright, sunny morning in September Senior Class and his brood officially initiated themselves as Juniors, and exulted over the new Sophomores. What a change!! To think that they, old in experience, now Juniors, had once held that dubious honor of being Sophomores—inexperienced, blundering, slow. Sophomores —impossible!! Well, they started that year off to a tune of Victor)- by steamrollering the once invincible Weymouth eleven. Comes Thanksgiving (the regular one) by classing the Weymouth game as a steamrollering, then the North game may be classed, by mass understatement, as a landslide off the top of the Matterhorn resulting in a 27-0 pile up. This time more of 44 figured in heaping up the honors. Then the triumphal march of the victors through Quincy Square, replete with banners and all. However, because of the war, most of the other major sports—basketball, wrestling, etc.—were discontinued. Early in that year 44” and his brothers showed red along with the traditional white and blue and we obtained and retained the blue and white Minute-flag with a continued buying of war stamps by 90% of the brotherhood. In other fields, too, were our true colors shown—first aid classes were established, A. R. P. messenger services organized, girls rolled bandages for the Red Cross. As was the custom, we had, at Christmas, the traditional pageantry in a far more colorful and awe-inspiring manner than ever before. Breaking all traditions and establishing a precedent for some future emergency the Family had an extra two weeks’ Christmas vacation while the school converted from oil to coal just in time to meet the new coal shortage. About this time a group of war heroes were destined to pass through Quincy at an indefinite time during the day. Even with advance guards posted, the student body rushed out en masse—too many and too late. (We understand Sher’s did a bang-up business that noon time.) Then in February, according to best New England tradition, Quincy had the worst blizzard of the year and, since 50% of the enrollment were absent, school was dismissed—not according to best Quincy tradition. One morning, at a special assembly a woman from the State Department spoke to us about the importance of good appearance and personality. Everyone was tremendously impressed. For weeks afterward everyone walked about the school with an air faintly reminiscent of Gable and Grablc. Then came something of a grimmer tone. Everyone will recall that two Japanese 2-man submarines had been abandoned at Pearl Harbor after that treacherous attack. These were shipped to the U. S. and, in order to stimulate bond sales, toured the country. When they made their appearance here, Quincy turned out in a body! About this time people began to realize that Japan wasn't the pushover it was thought to be. One day in May the school took on the aspect of a Hindu ladies' room. What caused that Oriental air??? Ohhhh—it’s those girls wearing turbans to keep their pretty pre- prom pommaded permanents placed properly. Then blam! All of a sudden it struck us like a bolt from the black (it's never blue during a thunderstorm) N-E-X-T Y-E-A-R W-E S-H-O-U-L-D BE S E N I O R S Wow!! Only a short time and we should assume the disdainful and haughty but satisfying air of seniors. We elected the standard bearers who would guide us through a wcll- filled senior year: President—Arthur Craig; Vice Presi- dent—Margaret Fulton; Treasurer—Bob Wessel; and Secretary—Ruby Matson. Then vacation time had sneaked upon us almost (but not quite) before we were prepared to assume our birthright. Ill At last the time had come; our dear Mr. Senior Class finally achieved the goal for which we had waited so long—he was now really a senior. It did not take him long to get back into the now familiar routine—back into the groove (or is it a rut?). Football was organized almost immediately under Owen Webb, volunteer coach. He had good material from which to draw, and many sons of ’44 really made their old pappy proud of them. It was a good season climaxed by a 12-7 victory over North Quincy on Thanksgiving. On that same Thanksgiving evening the Victor)’ Dance was held in the Quincy Armory. Young folks from Quincy and North Quincy were present, and representatives from North presented the football trophy to Art Craig and Paul Quintiliani, true sons of old, gloating Senior Class. Just about this time old Papa Senior Class received a shock that his old age (with his bad heart and his schnitzofrainia collosnobus—a dread disease now prevalent among field mice) did not withstand. In brief. Miss Sally F. Dawes, head of the English Department retired and was married. For days poor, old Class of ’44 carried an ice bag around. This year the Tri Hi Y and the Hi Y held their annual initiations with the usual gusto by sending their candidates to school in fantastic costumes. It was especially inter- esting to watch the boys who had gym that day attempt to button their shirt and pants up the back. We feared Pop Class would have convulsions from laughter. The week of December 6 brought Frank Sinatra to Boston, and automatically there sprang up an epidemic of colds—not serious ones but severe enough to cause a great many of the daughters of Pop Class to miss one day of school that week. Christmas vacation this year came before Christmas in order to give the children of Daddy Class an opportunity to work in the local stores. The vacation lasted from December 17 to December 27. When the pupils returned after this vacation, they were so tired they could hardly stick their tongues out at members of the School Committee. On Friday evening, February 4 in the High School gym, old Pappy Class's ambitious children sponsored the Leap Year Special dance to raise money for their gradua- tion expenses. Baron Hugo's orchestra furnished the music, and the dance was highly successful. This year brought the Quincy High News Letter for boys and girls of this school in the service. The letter, printed monthly, contains all the latest school news to help keep those other sons and daughters who arc far from home up on the latest. Papa Senior Class has received many thank you letters from servicemen to whom the News Letter has been sent. This year brought another change, namely, the typewriters were moved from the Coddington School to the High School in order that Dad Class's daughters in the com- mercial course would no longer be forced to plod through fair weather and foul to do their typing. While reminiscing about this year s activities, a narrator would not dare forget the fine assemblies that old, senile Mr. Senior Class had the privilege of enjoying with his children. This year was unusual in its presentation of fine assemblies. Some of them were: the author rally in which Rex Stout, Bernard Dc Voto, and Amelia Willoughby spoke on American war and post war problems; the piano recital by Mr. Hacker; the spirited address on vocational adjustment delivered by Cameron Beck, former personnel director of the New York Stock Exchange; movies on baseball which were shown to the boys; and the China Book Week assembly with its two guest speakers, Dr. Wildes and Dr. Ching. This year was unique in that the Friday assembly, which the whole school was able to attend, due to the decrease in enrollment, were introduced members of the student body, gifted in music. These assemblies were sponsored by the music department and were appreciated by all. There were accordion solos, a duet by Joseph Chiminiello and Anthony Birro; music by a trio, Jean Munn—violin, Jessie Munn—cello, Miriam Koski— piano; a trumpet solo by Paul Gibb; and vocal solos by Barbara Broadbcnt. Pop Class was proud of his sons who were on this year's basketball team, for they really went to town. With no team last year, we lacked veterans this year, but the boys worked hard under the able coaching of Mr. William Bowyer and came very close to the Tech Tourney. On the evening of April 28, the Senior Prom was held in the High School Gymna- sium. Although some of the boys, not used to tuxedos, spent the evening attempting, in vain, to find a position in which they could be comfortable, the evening was considered successful. It will be long remembered! Let your imagination describe its glory. Caps and gou-ns. Tears come into the eyes of old '44 as the time of graduation of his sons and daughters (312 in number) rolls around and he knows that he must expire and be almost forgotten. Nevertheless, that is life. Now the time for Papa Class to fold his diploma like the Arab and quietly steal away has come. His children have graduated! They have reached another milestone in their lives and arc passing into an uncertain world. Already many of the boys of the class of ’44 are in the armed forces; in a short time practically ever)’ boy in the class will be. There will be toil, turmoil, danger, grief for many! ! ! A few may even pay the supreme :a ri- ficc. We will not surrender, for we believe in democracy. We will defend it with th: same spirit that has brought us through our twelve years of schools—May we have the strength to do our duty as Americans! Nowadays the girl who is tall is fortunate. At least that’s what one leading fashion magazine says. The tall girl has a stately grace and a queen-like dignity.” It says that on the next line. Let’s stop all that and get down to facts. There is always the problem of short men. It seems as if one of them wants to dance with a girl who clears him at least five inches. That is very embarrassing because he invariably gets his nose caught in the corsage pinned to her shoulder. And then the relatives! —Bless ’em . . . especially the ones who haven’t seen you ?incc you were a little tot. You walk into the room and the first thing they say is, My, how she has grown!” This immediately makes one feel enormous, and in your mind you have grown to such huge proportions as to dwarf everyone else in the room. Then the dear relatives go down both siaes of your family tree and fail to see, on cither side, just where you got your height. This naturally puts you in a freakish light, and you wonder if there is an available opening in the circus. There are many other little difficulties Have you ever seen a tall girl sit in a very low-slung, modernistic chair? Her knees come to the level of her ear lobes; and there she sits, not daring to try to get up. Or she, without fail, gets a tiny, clinging vine for a room-mate. This daintv little five footer, with her size four shoe, can give her an inferiority complex more quckly than anything. But if you are tall, don’t worry—things aren’t really bad. If you feel rather self- conscious at times, just read a fashion magazine. It will say the most wonderful things about you!! Gloria Gifford 4pprecia tion The Senior Class expresses its appreciation of the fine work done by Mr. Poland in taking the group pictures for the Golden Rod. He has been willing to give of his time and experience and has spent ever)’ afternoon for three weeks photographing clubs, athletic teams, and other organizations of the school. Mr. Poland was assisted by George Dorlay. %o (Oarrel Slati The majority of people in this world regard skiing as a sport. To me it is more than that; to me it is an art. Anyone accomplished in this field commands my most extravagant praise. Let us examine the subject from a purely impersonal point of view to see if we can discover why some people on skiis look graceful as butterflies, and others—including me—look graceful as hippopotamuses. First of all, having successfully managed to clamp the two stupid looking slats to your delicate ankles, the problem is to gain the top of the hill. You use for this what is commonly referred to as the herring-bone stance, the opposite of the pigeon-toed stance. (Enlightened?) By walking in this awkward manner, you manage to reach the half-way mark. Suddenly from out of nowhere a monstrous three hundred pound bulk of feminine brawn, with absolutely no control ever mind much less over skiis, comes thundering toward you. You have three seconds to decide what to do. Move to the right, move to the left, fall down, turn around—too late! She's got you! And there you arc, whizzing down the hill, ycur frail, little body completely wrapped up in this hulking, unreasonable- facsimile of a woman. Then you scream weakly, tor although she has managed to keep her balance until the last minute, she fails in the crisis. Head first you go, tunneling through two feet cf mountain snow, to imbed yourself neatly in a towering bank. She, of course, is perfectly at ease. She helps you to your feet nearly wrenching your arm from its socket in the process. She emits high squeals of laughter that would remind you of an hysterical pig if only ycur brain were not dulled to the point of insensibility. A passionate desire to annihilate her arises in your breast, but summoning all your manly fortitude and resistance, you proceed, instead, glumly to disentangle yourself from the springs, slats, thongs, laces, and other paraphernalia that have wrapped themselves about your person. By the time you have finished, the sister of Frankenstein having left, your dauntless courage once more wells up within you, and suddenly you realize how stupid you have been. After all, how much easier it would be to carry the skiis up the hill? You proceed to do ju‘t that. Hours later a forlorn, tired, wet, bruised, disgusted creature reaches the summit. Yes, it's you. You don your skiis, ski all of two feet, fall on your posterior, and go coasting merrily down the hill without missing a single hump. Halfway down, a surly, brutish looking gentleman appears directly in front of you. Tnis time, though, you praise your lucky stars, for this time both of you arc going in the same direction. He, of course, is standing up! Rapidly you are gaining speed, and in no time at all find yourself on the heels of the ape in front of you. This time, too, your brain is functioning per- fectly, due, no doubt, to the clear mountain air. With lightning calculation, you whizz between his legs and continue nonchalantly on your merry way. The gentleman, how- ever, seems slightly disconcerted for at this his language melts much of the snow for miles around. At the bottom y:u quickly pick up your skiis and run—the monster, it seems, is chasing you. Because he has conveniently forgotton to remove the skiis from his feet, you manage to elude him, and, gaining the read, you hop a bus for home. Upon arriving, loudly you proclaim that skiing is great fun and that you did excep- tionally well for the first time. (Aside from spraining your ankle, cracking two ribs, and managing a slight concussion, you did very well!) If you don't believe all this, then just you buy some skiis and find a great big hill. Make sure first there’s snow on the hill, then try out this skiing business. I think that within a few hours you’ll agree that skiing is more of an art—a fine art—than a sport!

Will Wc, the class of 1944 of the Quincy High School in the city of Quincy, Norfolk County, State of Massachusetts, having been duly examined and pronounced more or less sane and of sound mind (average l.Q. = 42.73), do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament. Now that the time has come when we of this class shall pass through the portals of this mighty edifice never to return, we look about us through tear- dimmed eyes and are stunned and bewildered by the task of having to divide our meager possessions among so many of our friends. It is fitting, therefore, that only those who are in dire need should be remembered and their need satisfied; it is toward this end that wc have persistently labored. Sincerely hoping that all concerned will be both pleased and satisfied, we do hereby bequeath: — To the City of Quincy—Yam enough to knit silencers for manhole covers in order to decrease the excess noise. The the school—A carton of razor blades, one for each room, to replace the pencil sharpeners which we have never had and don't expect to get. To the class of 1945—A well-furnished, up-to-date torture chamber in order to aid in the collection of class dues. To the class of 1946—A graduating class from which all of the boys have not been inducted. To our counselors—Several members of the F.B.I. to investigate further our per- sonal affairs. To Mr. Collins—A green checked suit and suede shoes in case black no longer appeals to him. To Mr. MacDonald—A camp stool to insure himself a seat on the trolley for his daily commuting. To Miss Car tille—A week's vacation with her idol, Tallulah Bankhead. To Mr. Phillips- An ash barrel, for he managed the business of the Golden Rod so well and made so much money beyond cur goal, that he will soon need an ash barrel instead of wallet to carry his own wealth. To Miss Coulman—A parrot to fly about the library screaming for students to leave first period slips with Miss Coulman and not on the spindle. To Miss Kelsey—A chair to stand on so that she will be up to everyone dse's level. To Mr. Cutler—A class that, for a change, is as interested in city affairs as he is. To Miss Neade—An ultra-microphone to help keep those noisy boys in order. To Mr. Lyon—A private chef to keep his chasmlike interior sufficiently supplied with nutritive substances. To Mr. McKeown—A keg of Old Dutch Cleanser Tooth Powder to keep his win- ning smile always bright and charming. To Miss Giles—One copy of the ' Signal Corpsman's Handbook” to enable her to study communication. To Miss Shaw—A vest pocket dictionary in case there is one word of which she does not know the meaning. To Mrs. Carroll—A sledge hammer in order to help her soothe all of the headache cases which are sent to her. To the Football team—Another victor)- over North next year.

He could not stay. No happiness was here for him While his heart was yearning to be away. The lure of the sea had called him. It had beckoned with its hand. And following the Sirens he journeyed To a far-off, distant land. If he could return to claim his love, He'd find it always here. As bright as the faith that whispered Go, but come back, dear. He came; He went. He'll not return. That's what the message said; But in my heart he'll always live; He'll not be counted dead! I think he knows I love him yet And that I always will; The sea has claimed my Jimmie But in my heart, he's living still. Vkrna Dyment 'reaming The way that his hair tumbles over, The look in his eye, and that grin. His hand tight in mine, and his kisses, For such little things, I love him. By his words and his thoughtful actions He brings me contentment at will. But knowing he loves me as I love him Brings to me more happiness still. Someday he’ll come back and we'll marry; And that day my joy’ll be complete For the war will be gone forever — And we'll have the world at our feet. Doris Byram ■Suzie Suzie and I have lots of dates; We go 'most anywhere — To churches, parties, clubs, or fairs — To entertain the people there. Now- Suzie is a bru-e-nettc. Most beautiful to sec; She is of pleasant temperament; Her heart is full of glee. And Suzie is a pleasant friend, As you'll perhaps agree, When you begin to understand What Suzie means to me. For Suzie is my instrument, My 'cello—true and clear. Who gives me many pleasant hours. To lose her would be drear! Jessie Munn te We leave you little but a world in pain, Struggling in the violent throes of death, A world bewildered by mere mortals' gain, A groping, seeking world, cleft By bitter hates and prejudice. Yours is the task to lift the dimming torch. To lift it high above the bloody field. Yours is the task to wait and watch And from the withering harvest, yield A promise for a future ripe with hope. Yours is no glory, but a noble cross. So live that no man ever dies in vain To let his tragic gain be net your loss. And though there is no honor or great fame, To face unflinchingly your destiny. Estelle Morgan Kain Spring brings the rain that patters delightfully. Slashing the Iandscaj5c in crystal diagonals, Washing away the dullness of winter Spurring the buds of the crocus and jonejuil. Now welcome showers of thunder and lightning. Which dampen the dust and freshen the flowers. Now dread the storms of the fall, which come after Summer's 'warm blast has retreated to southland. Soon the cold rain turns to sleet, then to snow. Which blankets the fields and forests so snugly That dormant they lie without life — until Spring in its glory brings rain without end . . . To start the darned cycle all over again! Charles Currie of %M Z)he (doming Out of the shades of the deep, After the set of the sun, Veils of a beautiful evening Come to us stealthily stealing; Wilfully chasing the lightness. Far from great cities of brightness, Gently inviting the breeze To rustic the whispering trees. Then from the dark city street. Up with a bustling confusion. Sounds of a world's mad folly. Shamefully drifting to glory. Come to invade the cool freshness, Brought on the wings cf Night's goddess Slowly achieving the solitude Of silently slumbering magnitude. Virginia Wilson SPi rit oftke I am the spirit of the rivers. Listen to me. You have molested my soul. Harnessed my freedom for what you call power, Fed me your refuse, made me unclean, Sent boats to desecrate me. But never have you conquered me! One day I shall rise, Revolt, o'erflow, and claim your homes and land As payment for my forged imprisonment. For I am the Missouri, I am the Mississippi, I am the Columbia, and the Ohio. I am the spirit of the rivers. Listen and heed my words. Lorraink Boyce a iveri fv emories Through the window of the present passed the class of '44 To the future bright with promise and adven- tures ever more. Some to business, some ta college, and some off to the war. But we'll ne'er forget Old Quincy,” not the class of ‘44. For the work time and the play time and the new friends that we've made, For the games and sports and meetings which fo - us will never fade, We ll remember in the future all the things we've done before, And we ll ne'er forget Old Quincy”, not the class of '44. Jacqueline Storrs Have you ever counted the numerous activities sponsored by the Student Council? It is always a versatile group handling most successfully everything from dances to a bond drive. The Student Advisory Council was organized in 1929 to represent the pupils in the management of school affairs. The twelve members of this year's group, aided by Mrs. Wright, were efficiently directed by president Robert Reardon, vice-president Miles MacDonald, and secretary- treasurer Norma Mac A fee. Everyone has the so-called golden opportunity to send his opinions and suggestions to the Student Council by his home room representative. One representative is elected from each home room, and the group thus organized meets regularly with the Council. Miles MacDonald served as president of the group this year and was assisted by John Cattanach, vice-president, and Betty Jean Smith, secretary-treasurer. oom Jlome E Eepredentatiued Do you ever wonder how it is that Miss Coulman has such diligent and capable assistants? It is mainly in the training. Each helper trains a year in the library before being initiated as a member of the staff. Banquets, picnics, Christmas parties, and interesting meetings with guest speakers enliven the arduous duties of the group. Estelle Morgan, as president, led this year’s group and had as fellow-officers Eleanor DiTocco, vice-president, and Eleanor Bussolini, secretary-treasurer. Mrs. Carroll, in her health service work, had the valuable assistance of twelve girls who were carefully selected for personal qualities. To be a member of the staff, a girl was required to be an honor student because the aid she could give would be necessary during school hours. Five seniors, four juniors, and three sophomores served in the group. The football games gained much of their savor from the colorful Quincy band which appeared in full regalia to render stirring marches, the school song, and the National Anthem. No senior will ever forget the band's masterly performance at the memorable North-Quincy football game. Quincy High’s orchestra, directed by Miss Howes, had a busy year practic- ing for the Christmas and Spring concerts and for the graduation exercises yet to come. Small groups from the orchestra contributed music at many com- munity affairs which were conducted by civic organizations. The glee club had a large amount of musical talent in its group this year. Public appearances were not so numerous as in previous years but were greatly appreciated when the opportunity of hearing the combined voices was granted. To many a pupil, Friday assemblies have meant the pleasure of hearing the blended tones of the chapel choir in hymns of beauty and feeling. The devout atmosphere, which the choir created by its weekly rendition of the Lord’s Prayer, set the high standard for the weekly program during the past year. All aboard for the Quincy Locomotive. Bo-o-o-a-a-r-d!! —and so started every football and basketball game. Long will the vim, dash, and spirit of the 1944 cheer leaders, under Mrs. Wright s experienced direction, be remem- bered. In April, letters were awarded to Barbara Kreiger, Robert Reardon, Betty Jean Smith, Jacqueline Storrs, and Eugene Wood for their outstanding cooperation in building the morale of the spectators and of the Quincy players. Frances Davis, the drum major, and her majorettes, Marilyn Southwick, Patricia Frazier, Rita Pagnano, and Dorothy Hanson, gave a delightful touch of glamour and skill to the harmonies of the band. Quincy's dramatic ability has only one main form of expression now that the Senior Play is no more—the Page and Stage, under the direction of Miss Goudey. The public was not admitted to the meetings of the group, but all reports from the members testified to many an interesting hour spent watching comedies, tragedies, farces, and melodramas. Eugene Wood proved to be a most able president for the year with the aid of vice-president Nancy Hayes, secretary Lorraine Boyce, and treasurer John Sirois. Facing the weekly dead line were three groups of newswriters chosen from English classes of Miss Browne, Miss Call, and Mr. McKeown. It was their job to collect accurate facts of school events and to prepare them for weekly publication. No little responsibility was theirs because it was through their efforts that the community gained its knowledge of the activities of the student body. Originality and timid sprouts of genius are fostered in Miss Marr's writing club. Members produce essays, parodies, short stories, and imaginative sketches. No, no novels have been written, but several members have had bits of creative work published. What could have been more encouraging? The Quincy rifle team enjoyed an instructive and successful season during which three teams shot in the national Hearst contest. The club participated in target shooting on the range several days each week. Coached by Mr. LcCain, Mr. Mitchell, and Mr. Poland, the squad learned the art of shooting and handling a rifle. Club officers were Luther Mooney, president; Stoddard Hayden, vice-president; John Fantucchio, range officer; Virginia Wilson, secre- tary; and Wallace Johnson, treasurer. The football team did it again—copped the City Championship on Turkey Day by defeating North with the satisfactory score of 12-7. Coached by Owen Webb and his assistants, Mike Franchuk and Tony Mollica, the team was successfully piloted through the season with three games won, two tied, and four lost. Co-captains Craig and Quintiliani deserve much praise for their splendid leadership. April found Coach Findlay working daily with a group of thirty players to produce a winning combination for the fourteen game schedule. Home and home series were arranged with Hingham, Brockton, Thayer Academy, Brain- tree, Milton, Weymouth, and North Quincy. Veterans were lacking, but prospects seemed favorable with such players as Paul Flanagan, Robert Wessel, Warren Hurley, Lou Marini, and Mario Casali. Quincy's basketball team and Coach Bowyer deserve great credit for the season's record of seven victories and six losses. Five of the six defeats were lost by a margin of only four points. The brightest spot on the schedule was the win by one point over Braintree, the Tech Tourney champ. Captain DiNardo graduates in June, but many of the other excellent players will dis- play the same fine-brand of basketball next season. Every week during the winter months found the Y invaded on at least one afternoon by seventy-five girls who tried their hand at strikes and spares. Directed by Miss Allbright, many girls developed into skillful bowlers. Mary Ruggiano, Alice Grazioso, Elizabeth Calabro, and Jean Thornell won the honors of being the highest scorers—but how high the scores mounted has not been divulged! On the Wednesday winter afternoons basketball lured many a girl who found the class games to her liking. Enthusiastic sophomore, junior, and senior girls organized teams and enjoyed friendly rivalry in games refereed by pupils. Norma DiTullio, Betty Bradley, Dorothy Deans. Ann Collins, and Alice Lamb played a most satisfactory game. Jke _Aflumni UNITED STATES AIR CORPS Ballou, Richard '41 Hartford. Charles '40 Mclnnis. Paul '42 Cain, Donald '42 Hartford.

A good secretary is always in demand. Last year, place- ment calls for Fisher girls were greatly in excess of available graduates. • For 41 years New England has recognized the Fisher School as a center for superior secretarial training. At either the fine old residence over- looking the Charles River, which is the Boston School, or in the homelike atmosphere of the Winter Hill School, Fisher courses combine cul- tural and technical subjects. In an academic atmosphere, young women quickly learn secretarial skills. Catalog on request. THE FISHER SCHOOL 118 Beocon Street BOSTON 1 . MASS. 374 Broodwoy WINTER HILL 4S, MASS.
