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,

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.

Marie Convoy ' 31 Secretary High School is Visited Members of the Old Colony Club visited The High School Thursday, November 20. In the morning, students who were members of the Junior Old Colony Club ushered the visitors to the different rooms and parts of the High School, as well as to the Trade School. At 12.45 the guests assembled at the assembly hall, where an entertainment, when was directed by Mrs. McGrath, was given in their honor. The freshmen also were present since it was their music period. The entertain- ment was as follows : — March, 7th Regiment W. H. S. Band Tap Dance George Colarusso Piano Solo : Pale Moon Kiss Waltz William Donovan Readings : Sister Simmons Little Old House by the Shore Anna Bourque Chorus W. H. S. Glee Club Reading: Creation Isabelle Dacey Violin Solo: Cadiz Polish Dance .. Eleanor Hill Accompanied by William Donovan Here the program was broken, for the freshmen had to pass to their next classes ; and the sophomores came to the hall for their music period. The passing in and out of the hall was done in an orderly manner. After the sophomores were seated, the program was continued. Medley of Civil War Melodies W. H. S. Band Readings : The Blade of Grass The Little House Dorothy Pearson Duet with Ukelele accompaniment Marjorie Burne Beth Alger March W. H. 8. Band All present enjoyed the entertainment- Ill or Convalescing? Mr. and Mrs. W. H. S. sat in the living- room. Mrs. W. H. S. was sobbing hysterically ; Mr. W. H. S. looked glum. Reflector, their only daughter, was sick. Doctor Student was examining her now. Dear, oh, dear, sobbed Mrs. W. H. S., what are we going to do? She ' s so thin. Now, now, don ' t worry, soothed Mr. W. H. S. Just then Dr. Student came from his ex- amination. Now, now, Mrs. W. H. S., don ' t worry. Reflector will be well soon. She hasn ' t had enough to eat; that ' s all! We gave her all we had, stated Mr. W. H. S. gloomily. She never wanted to diet. I ' ll see what I can do, promised Dr. Student. Don ' t forget to hang up your stock- ing Christmas Eve. I won ' t, replied Reflector. Poor Reflector ! Will her stocking be full on Christmas ? Come on Dr. Student ; don ' t let her starve. Fill her stocking! Don ' t be dis- couraged because your food didn ' t help her once. Start writing now for the February issue. And don ' t forget that the Student Opin- ion page is still waiting for your ideas. Editor The Varsity Club Mr. Kennedy, the new coach of athletics at Weymouth High, has organized a club to keep up the friendship and the spirit of the fellows who take part in athletics. The name of the club is the Varsity Club, because it consists of undergraduates who have earned their W ' s in major sports. Similar clubs have been formed in many of the schools and col- leges for the same purpose. The officers of our club are : John Moulton, president ; Fran- cis Ralph, treasurer ; Norman Foskett, secre- tary. The club holds its meetings every Mon- day in Room 114 at the close of school. The money which this club raises is to go towards a fund to help any fellow who gets injured while playing any sport at Weymouth High. Anybody who has won his W and has not been attending the meetings is welcome. So be sure and join up. Edward Perry ' 32
