16 REFLECTOR O For An Imagination! I wish that I had been endowed With much imagination ; I feel that it would help me greatly In my recitations. When compositions come around, I foam and fume and fret. And all my summer ' s happenings I just seem to forget. I sit down at the table With my paper, pen, and ink, And start to ponder deeply. Oh, why cannot I think? At last my brain begins to work — Imagine my elation! — And I write down upon my paper The results of contemplation. A. Galligan ' 34 Inquisitive young bathing beauty: Where did all this seaweed come from? Life guard : The tide washed it in. Bathing beauty: But where is the tide? Life guard : Gone back after more weeds. Teacher : Is there anything you can do better than anyone else? Nash : Of course. Teacher: Well, what is that? Nash : Read my own writing. DONOVAN DRUG CORP.

This annual ' ' turkey-day treat is looked forward to by all Weymouth High students; past and pres- ent, graduates and undergraduates. On Thanksgiving mornings, Legion Field, the scene of the conflict, takes on the aspect of a class reunion ; members of classes as far back as twenty-five years meeting others of the same classes for the first time since graduation. In the six games played thus far against Hing- ham, Weymouth has taken the first three, which means that Weymouth has not beaten Hingham for three years. So let ' s all turn out Thanks- giving Day to cheer for a victory for Weymouth High! F. A. Long ' 35 Mae West There ' s a lady from down in the Bowery, Who has recently crashed into fame. She ' s learned all the tricks of the movies ; So certainly you can ' t call her tame. She ' s known as a red-hot mama, A girl called Diamond Lil . Off stage she ' s a perfect lady, A position all stars can ' t fill. But after all the dirt is sifted, And the truth comes out at last, We find a raving beauty — Diamond Mae, the girl with a past.

ALUMNI NEWS The Class of 1933 has scattered in many di- rections. Some have pursued their studies in colleges and business schools ; others have re- newed their acquaintance with the High School as post-graduate students; and still others have joined the ranks of the well-known unemployed. Elmont Abbott has extended his preparatory work to Thayer Academy, and is still playing football. John Bentley is attending Tufts College. He is majoring in mathematics in the Liberal Arts School. He also made the freshman football team, and was recently pledged to a fraternity. Edward Loud has also made Tufts his Alma Mater. He is becoming a civil engineer in the Engineering School. Alan Bryant can ' t stay away from the chem- istry laboratory ; so he is now studying chemical engineering at Dartmouth.

Paul Foskett is furthering his academic and athletic prestige at Seefield Academy, while his brother, Norman Foskett ' 31, has resumed his studies this fall as a sophomore at the Colorado School of Mines. William Harkinson really must have that something necessary for good salesmanship. At least one would so judge from his weekly programme. Certain days and evenings find him clerking for McGaw of South Weymouth. On Saturdays he clerks at the Quincy branch of the United Markets Inc. All other days his sales power is spent for the Ford Motor Com- pany. (Just a chip off the old block.) Alice Donovan has decided to become a nurse. She is training at the Faulkner Hospital, Ja- maica Plain. Anna Bourque is a busy girl now. Week-ends find her working in a department store at Wey- mouth Landing.

17 The Chicago W orld s Fair The Century of Progress Exposition of 1933 was held in Chicago. Chicago has been prepar- ing for this exposition for several years, forty- four states and seventeen countries having ex- hibits there. Chicago invested $25,000,000 in the fair and it has attracted more than 25,000,- 000 people. First of all, the fair was opened by the star Arcturus, which is forty-one light years away. The rays which started the fair left Arcturus forty-one years ago, at the time of the last Chi- cago World ' s Fair in 1892. These rays were caught by a giant telescope at the Harvard Ob- servatory in Cambridge which flashed them on a photo-electric eye and turned them into elec- trical impulses. These were sent to Chicago and automatically turned on all the lights on the fair ground, which contains over four square miles of dazzling exhibits. One of the most interesting things at tnc World ' s Fair is the Hall of Science, where you may find out how drops of water happen to be round ; how molecules arrange themselves into crystals ; how sound waves are produced and transmitted through the air; how scientists plan to harness the atom for its energy ; how cosmic rays could change the industrial world, and many other things that are explained in an easily understood manner. The Golden Pavilion of Jehol was reproduced exactly as it stands not far from Peking, its graceful double-roof covered with copper shingles and filmed over with gold leaf. The 28,000 wood and bronze pieces required to make this temple were all carved in China and then transported to Chicago for the Century of Prog- ress Exposition. The travel and transport building is a marvel of modern engineering, with its dome suspended from cables so that it rises and lowers as the air inside expands and contracts. Inside you may see side by side, the oldest railroad locomotives and the latest. Bell-funneled, wood-burning locomotives nestle under the wing of giant, hun- dred-mile-an-hour engines. In the Electrical Building there are astound- ing electrical exhibits; glowing tubes that open doors, electric-eyes that count passing people, wireless telephones, and other marvelous exhib- its. People sit in the curved amphitheatre and see hundreds of miracles worked by electricity. All around are glowing neon tubes and glisten- ing creators of power. Inside the Adler Planetarium the light is dim. Its dome-like ceiling looks like a clear summer sky at night with all the stars. Around the walls are charts of the sky. One of the most interest- ing things is the map of Mars, showing the prin- cipal canals and land marks. At night visitors look through a giant telescope and get a close- up of the Moon an d Planets. The Enchanted Island is a children ' s Para- dise with its tiny railroad, magic shows, puppet shows, clowns and scores of other things that children enjoy. In the Industrial Buildings are automobiles, tires, clothes, hosiery, and other products made right before your eyes. On the Sky Ride one rides an elevator up a 600-foot tower from the top of which can be seen all Chicago laid out at one ' s feet, and in the country beyond, the farm-lands of three states — Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan. From a lower platform on this same tower one gets into the very latest of all conveyances — a rocket ship ! This is a ship propelled by rocket explo- sions, traveling on a cable 200 feet above the roofs of the Exposition Buildings. Besides the exhibits previously mentioned there are many others, including The Trans- parent Man from the German Hygiene Mu- seum, many historical buildings, the Hall of States, the Administration Building, the Agri- cultural Building, the Zoo, the Aquarium, the Museum, the Art Institute, Admiral Byrd ' s Polar Ship, the Radio Building, the Communi- cations Building, tropical palms, alligator farms, models of famous cities and resorts from all over the world. The next World ' s Fair is to be held in Paris, in 1937. Already the city is preparing for it. French engineers are planning a tower for this Fair. It will be the highest structure ever built by man, 2,334 feet high, as they plan it now ; however, their plans might change. It will be called The Lighthouse of the World . Dnuylas MacDonald ' 37
