22 REFLECTOR North Quincy vs. w eymouth On October 21, North Quincy brought its football team to Weymouth and took a 13-6 vic- tory back with them. The game was interesting throughout, and even though Weymouth was outweighed, they were not to be outdone. In the last few minutes of the game, North Quincy was unsuccessful in three attempts to get the one foot needed for a touchdown, finally losing the ball on downs. This shows how much the line has improved. Charles Shaw ' 34 h BLOOM AND SON Groceries and Provisions Tea, Coffee, Butter and Eggs Lincoln Square, Weymouth, Mass. Tel.

Football took some of his ' varsity, but he thinks that he will still have a winning team. Mr. Page has produced many winning track teams, as his record shows, and the school has confidence in his ability. The most interesting meet of the season will be the one, November 2, which will determine the South Shore Champion. Freshman and Sophomore Football Stanley Neptune and Henry Higgins, former Weymouth athletic stars, have taken a group of freshmen and sophomores, and made a light but fast team that held the regular seconds to a two- to-nothing game. They played the Quincy Sophomores, but were outweighed forty pounds a man in the line, and lost to Quincy. They are to play Quincy again. Coaching always shows itself in a team.

Paw, what ' s an advertisement? asked little Hubert. An advertisement, explained the father, is the picture of a pretty girl eating, cooking, chewing, smelling, gargling, rubbing, wearing, or driving something which the advertisers are anxious to sell. I ' m returning the dress suit you loaned me, old man, and thanks. It didn ' t fit very well; so I had my tailor make a few alterations. Have you heard of the girl who was so dumb that she thought a stoic was a bird, and a cynic was a place to wash dishes? I ' m surprised at a man like you joy-riding on a Sunday, remarked the busybody in the hotel coffee-room. Joy-riding ! retorted the motorist, I ' ll have you understand, sir, that I am on a motor tour with my wife. Father (to little Willie, who is eating an ap- ple) : Look out for the worms, son. Willie: When I eat apples, the worms will have to look out for themselves. Salesman: Ladies and gentlemen, I have here the famous flexible comb that will stand any kind of treatment. You can bend it double, you can hit it with a hammer, you can twist it, ywu can Interested Listener: Say, mister, can you comb vour hair with it? Jim: A woman can always hold her own in a battle of tongues. Tim: Yes, but she never does. Harry: But, dear, don ' t you want to marry an economical man? Doris: I suppose so, but it ' s perfectly terrible being engaged to one. Proud Parent: Don ' t you think it ' s about time the baby learned to say ' Daddy ' ? Mother: Oh, no, I hadn ' t intended telling him who you are until he becomes a little stronger. Still Carrying o n Years have past and gone Since that November morn, When on this bleak and barren shore, Gathered the great chiefs of Indian lore. They were here to feast and merry be With the white men from o ' er the sea. This small colony had paid dear For staying in this country, so cold and drear. Many friends and relatives in the churchvard lay; Many more than gathered there to pray, To give thanks to their Deliverer For sparing them to carry on. To keep carrying on , they say, Is the very idea of the N. R. A. Jeanne Longille ' 37
