School Spirit School Spirit ! Where is the school spirit of Weymouth High School? Many outside the school ask the same question. Many doubt if there is any in Weymouth High. Take for example the football games. How many at- tended them? Only a few. Is that school spirit? No! The lack of enthusiasm show? when out of all the students attending Wey- mouth High it is impossible to fill a bus to attend an out of town game. The lack of school spirit shows again at the track meets. How can the teams win without the support from the students? We all know that no mat- ter what the game is, if we have no one to watch and cheer us, we lose interest and do not play our best. I hope we are going to show the proper school spirit of Weymouth High when the basketball games begin. There isn ' t any good reason for not filling the gymnasium at these games. Give your support to all school activities while you are at school, and this spirit will remain with you even after you have grad- uated and have gone out into the world. Harriet Berry ' 33 Vote Yes! The great asset to any school is the spirit evidenced by its members. The success of athletics, scholarship, the school paper, and school events depends upon the amount of interest taken by the members of the student body. The athletic teams can win more games if they know that they have the moral sup- port of their fellow students, and your pres- ence is greatly needed at all school games. The school paper can be a greater success if every student does his share in helping out. We have every reason to be proud of our school. Let us show our school spirit by at- tending the games, contributing to the sup- port of the school paper, both financially and literary, and by an earnest effort to do our very best in every way. D. Flynn ' 32 School Spirit Fellow-students, if teachers ever become broadminded enough to allow a teacher-stu- dent meeting, keep your shirts on and vote for the repeal of the Baby Lunchroom Act. Vote for pupil control of all the grub, forks, knives, tables, and chairs. Let the Practical Arts girls collect the dishes, instead of the customers; they ' ve got to do something to earn their eats, which they get for nothing, at present. Since the teachers have had tables and chairs for the last half -century, and the pupils only standing room (boys in particu- lar), let ' s take the tables and chairs for the next half. Also, mates, vote for repeal of the four or five hours ' homework assignments, passed by the House of Teachers under the Kill-joy Amendment, when our forefathers were pupils. S.

21 My House Jack raked the garden, Raked up all the leaves. He let me make a house ' Zactly as 1 pleased. One room was yellow ; And one, mostly red. Of the same color, I made a soft bed. Just as I called Mother To come quick and see, A naughty breeze blew My house away from me. Pauline Colarusso Her World ' s Work The lonesome American Girl felt that she had a very poor Outlook on Life because she met only Country Gentlemen. After joining The Forum, however, she was invited to many Better Homes and Gar- dens where she saw examples of Good Housekeeping. These experiences gave her a better perspective on the choosing of a Woman ' s Home Companion. At last she married the New Yorker, a Popular Mechanic, who had confessed his True Love for her. They chose Asia as the place for their Home Beautiful and left for their new Life on The Saturday Eve- ning Post. Marguerite Goodrich ' 32 Life A little dog crouched all alone, Through the night so cold and bleak, Looking bravely through the gloom For the master he would seek. A man passed by the lonely spot. Scarcely a glance he gave To the shivering little creature, Who stood whimpering on the pave. He was still there in the morning, Looking so small and wise, Mourning for a wanted master Who did not hear his cries. Then to him came a figure Of a little boy in brown, Who jumped around with joyous heart At sight of what he found. The tiny puppy wagged his tail. No more would he be sad, For he had found a master — A little blue-eyed lad. Roberta Fletcher ' 31 My Dream of Christmas Joy It ' s nearly time for Santa Claus And holly berries gay. The reindeer with their jingly bells Are hastening on their way. Christmas wreaths on every door. O bright December cheer ! Flowers ' gainst the window panes, Were ever skies so clear? But hear the rumblings of a storm ! Report cards in the air. Whence come those moaning winter winds, The signals of despair? And then I see two wondrous A ' s, Two B ' s, one C, no D! Ring out, ring out, Christmas bells . All ' s well with you and me. R. Leonard ' 34

Weymouth, Mass. December 13, 1930 Dear Dot, I was certainly glad to get your letter. As for football, don ' t kid us. Weymouth may not win the championship, but we ' re all root- ing for her, and we ' re ready to yell for our team anytime. Talking of football reminds me that Mr. Kennedy has formed a Varsity Club, the purpose of which is to draw the various branches of athletics closer. The club gave a dance December 12 after school. It has put out pins in the shape of a football with Wey- mouth ' ' printed on it and a gold and maroon tassel hanging from it. They were very pop- ular and every one you saw was wearing one —if he weren ' t, a boy would pop up from somewhere, .pin one on him, and shout. Fifteen cents! The girls ought to have a similar club for their athletics. They are playing their tourna- ment games in volley ball now. There is much more spirit this year than there was last. The color system is being worked out successfully. The Operetta rehearsals have been started under the direction of Mr. Monroe and Mrs. McGrath. Vivian Laurence has the leading part. It is to be Russian this year and ought to be good. The Thanksgiving holidays started the twenty-sixth and continued till December first. In an assembly, we were told of the death of Mr. Bates, one of the janitors. We had exams this week and were sus- tained by the thought of vacation. Just think a week, seven days, of lying abed until eight or nine o ' clock! Here ' s hoping Santa will be good to you and fill your stocking with what you want. Love, Mary Le Cercle Francais Le Cercle Francais held its first meeting of the year in Room 215, after school, on Tuesday, November 25. This meeting was held principally for the election of officers. The following were chosen : President : Leonard Bryant. Vice-president : Josephine Caruso. Secretary : Marie Conroy. Treasurer : Emma De Pari. Dorothy Bearce was elected chairman of the entertainment committee for the first two meetings, after which another chairman will be chosen for the next two, and so on. The meetings are to be held on the first and third Tuesdays of the month. This club, which is under the supervision of Miss Berry, was formed to help students speak French more fluently. All conversa- tion must be in French. Nevertheless, there is a great deal of fun. The club is made up of juniors and seniors who have obtained an average of 90 in French the previous year. This year, the following are members : Filomena Amoroso, Dorothy Bearce, Leon- ard Bryant, Josephine Caruso, Marie Conroy,
