Is it folded in a rose leaf, Or a shell from stormy sea? Sandman ! Sandman ! you come creeping. Sandman ! Sandman ! I am sleeping. R. Leonard ' 34 Crazy (?) The snow was falling with small stinging flakes. It sifted in around the cracks, and piled up in drifts on the steps and walks. But Mr. Craymar Vangulf apparently was not at all concerned. As the wind whistled about the corners of the house and bent the tops of the trees to and fro, he actually laughed. Icicles dripped from the blinds, and the windows were frozen tight. Yet he chuckled merrily. Surely something was wrong. It was the height of craziness for a man to stand in a cold house — the furnace fire had gone out and there was no more coal — and laugh at the cold or snow. But then Mr. Cragmar Vangulf could afford to laugh , because he was going to Florida. Lloyd Eldridqe ' 32

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

Weymouth vs. Bridgewater The Weymouth gridsters took the Bridge- water boys into camp at their last home game. Although Bridgewater scored on a long end run, our team showed great power and ability at times and completely outclassed their opponents. Monahan crossed the ene- my ' s goal line once, kicked the goal, and later in the game, kicked a field goal. Nor- man Foskett played a fine game at tackle. The score was Weymouth 10, Bridgewater 6. Weymouth vs. Hingham On Thanksgiving morning, Hingham won the South Shore Championship by defeating Weymouth to the tune of 27-0. Our oppo- nent ' s end runs and passes led to Weymouth ' s downfall. The center of our line was solid, and few gains were made in this section of the team. Our boys put up a game fight but must look forward to next year for victory. Weymouth vs. Celtics On the Sunday following Thanksgiving, our football team met the Celtics in a charity game. The thrilling result took some of the sting out of the Hingham defeat. Our boys crossed their opponent ' s goal line three times and succeeded in getting the extra point twice. The Celtics had been undefeated and crowned amateur champions of the South Shore, Their previous record had little effect on the Wey- mouth High team. Our football warriors were in command of the situation at all times and gave the Celtics few chances to score. The Football Squad We have had a small but competent squad this year under the direction of Coach Fred Kennedy. Our ends have been P. Foskett, Caton, Kemp, Jardine and LaRocco. We have had N. Foskett, Ralph, Cronin, Linscott and Minns for tackles. The guards were Perry, Bennett, LeMay, Mahoney, Thorp and Sprit- za, We have used as centers, Captain John Moulton, Cavallo and Zeoli. Our backfield men have been Monahan, Infusino, Taylor, Neptune, Thomas, Warner, Tolmie and Petzi. F. N. Andrews assisted by G. Bell have been the managers. We have had as water boys and general aides, Nolan and Conroy.

Our boys scored a total of 73 points. Our opponents scored 82 points. Weymouth engaged some powerful teams this year and we have a record to be proud of. Next year Mr. Kennedy will have a fair sup- ply of veteran players and AVeymouth should reach new heights.
