Weymouth, Mass., October 21, 1933. Dear Spic : Since I saw you on Labor Day a great deal has happened; so 1 just had to write and tell you all the news. First of all school opened with a bang. After arriving in our home-rooms, we found, to our surprise, our seats assigned to us and our books all passed out. But, worst of all, classes began on the dot — the third period. We certainly be- gan to work in earnest this year. You remember the Student Council, don ' t you? Well, it was formed again this year under the supervision of Mr. Whittle. The Junior Class held their first class meeting on Friday, October 13 in room 114. As usual, Mr. O ' Donnell presided, and a committee was chosen to nominate various students for office. On last Wednesday, the Southeastern Massa- chusetts League of School Publications held the first meeting of the year at Milton High School. There were fifteen who went from Weymouth. The Reflector received honorable mention for the ' 32- ' 33 issues! Believe you me, we are all going to try to have our magazine take first place this year. Here ' s hoping no one resorts to plagiarism and spoils our good inten- tions. Of course we observed October 12 in Wey- mouth by having no school, because Columbus discovered America. Then, too, we have had three fire-drills to take up our time. I was in histor y class during one of these, and you can well imagine how reluctant (?) the class was to leave that interesting subject. This year Mr. Monroe has formed two Glee Clubs, one for the girls, the other for the boys. The latter already has two outside engagements for the near future. At last the seniors held a class meeting in the hall. Our president, William Donovan, took charge. The class elected a class marshal — guess whom? Reino Laine. Also Rita Murphy was called upon to continue her task of being chair- man of the ring committee for the benefit of those who are going to buy rings this year. Then, too, our treasurer made a plea for money. Class dues are coming in very slowly. Next week is ' ' exam week; so I suppose Monday will be one of those cheerless, shivery days. We shall all need the best of luck I know. Lots of love. Span (Eleanor Madigan ' 34) Students, Attention! Positively the greatest typewriter value ever offered. Direct from the factory to ycu.

The faculty adviser, Mr. Brown, While at the Milton supper sitting down, Asked if he would be able To crawl underneath the table, And if E. M. would arise from sitting down. She looked at him with a surprised expres- sion ; The cause of his departure she then questioned. This reason was evoked : He wished to have a smoke, And to gain the smoking-room was his intention. Departing in this fashion might seem wrong, But one saw, by speculating at the throng, Two ladies who were talking Most carelessly were blocking The passageway through which he should have gone. B. seems to enjoy kissing parts in plays if he takes part in the scene. Four freshmen girls and a sophomore make so much noise — for little girls — on a bus that others can ' t hear themselves think. Can ' t they stop talking about notes and boys? H. H. is our Sophisticated Lady. P. escorts a certain girl to her home-room, but this girl seems to have a crush on — It ' s hot in here. Do you want me to open the window? E. M. never stops dreaming about a certain voung man at college who is a graduate of W. H. S. H. H. must be taking lessons from Walter Winchell. Just ask her anything! W. M. worries so much when his girl is sick that he can ' t do his school work. Poor little boy ! A. D. walks home with E. M. every night. E. must be less shy now. C. E. seems to be back for a P. G. course just to escort a certain red-headed girl to her home-room each morning. E. sits nearer to F. each night on a bus. Look out, E., you ' ll lose him out the window. R. M. wears the key to someone ' s heart. P. D. seems to find so much pleasure in bein fickle and in taking the other girls ' men away. ( Sour grapes?) Freshmen shouldn ' t be so afraid of a teacher they have for study periods. He ' s really not so gruff as his voice implies. It ' s all in the way you hold your mouth — in more things than one, said a teacher. How does he know? Nice-looking book agents shouldn ' t be sent to the school. These women teachers a well, P. S. seems to have a bad heart attack. Will someone please send for a doctor ? ( Now will he be more careful whom he confides in!)

FOOTBALL WEYMOUTH VS BELMONT Weymouth High School opened their football season by playing Belmont at Belmont. The players were in great shape. The coaches were confident that their team would win. A com- plete new system was used to get the players organized. Weymouth opened the first quarter by kick- ing off to Belmont. The Weymouth team, led by Cavallo, played a wonderful defensive game. Belmont gained constantly but they were always stopped when they came within scoring distance. In the second quarter Weymouth, gaining confidence tried two passes and completed one. The ball was between Weymouth ' s and Bel- mont ' s thirty-yard line most of the quarter. One of the Weymouth boys recovered a Bel- mont fumble on Belmont ' s twenty-yard line. Weymouth, scenting a score, tried a flat pass, which was intercepted by a Belmont back, who ran eighty yards for a touchdown. The attempt for the point failed. Weymouth received the kick-off and gained rapidly, but the third quar- ter ended, stopping their drive. Belmont played safe football, after holding the driving Weymouth team in the third quar- ter. The game ended, Belmont having scored one touchdown and Weymouth none. How- ever, Weymouth gained a moral victory by hold- ing the heavy Belmont team to one touchdown. WEYMOUTH AND WHITMAN The Whitman and Weymou th game was played at Legion Field on October the seventh, at two-thirty in the afternoon. The first quarter was in Weymouth ' s favor. The Weymouth team played well, both offen- sively and defensively. Whitman ' s coach seemed to be trying, by substituting players, to get a backfield that would work smoothly. The second quarter showed the Whitman team weakening and losing a little of their spirit, until a Whitman player interrupted a flat pass and ran forty-five yards for a touchdown. The attempt for the point failed. The third quarter opened with the Weymouth team fighting hard. Whitman completed a series of passes heading for a touchdown. They passed their way to another touchdown, and made the point. When the fourth quarter opened, the Wey- mouth boys plowed through Whitman, and scored. The final score, however, was nineteen to six in favor of Whitman. WEYMOUTH VS MILTON The Weymouth-Milton game was played at the Legion field at two-thirty in the afternoon. Milton received to open the first quarter of the game. Weymouth recovered a Milton fumble on Milton ' s forty-yard line but lost the ball on downs. Milton punted sixty yards out of dan- ger. Zeoli intercepted a Milton pass but the quarter ended without a score. The second quarter opened, but a Weymouth end touched the man who called for a fair catch, and Weymouth was penalized fifteen yards. Both teams gained, but the ball was punted out of danger at critical periods. There was no score at the close of the second quarter. Both teams played good defensive football. And both received a fifteen yard penalty in the third quarter, and a few minor penalties. Weymouth started an offensive drive in the last quarter that carried the ball down to Mil- ton ' s eight-yard line. The game ended, how- ever, and Weymouth lost her chance to score. It is the first time in two years that Wey- mouth has not been scored on or beaten. That game showed what good coaching will do. Our line held, and played hard and clever, defensive football.
