Turkey, candy, cider, stuffed stockings, fireplaces, Santa ' s presents, merry-making. These thoughts raced madly through my whirling brain, as I renewed my savage grip on the lifeling aboard the trim little Naval Destroyer, 17. S. S. MacFarland. A white capped, seething mountain of green smashed down on the little thin plates of the gallant old Mickey, and her tiny, elastic, tough, still sides trembled and shivered like the bones of an old skeleton that had been roughly thrown into the corner. The hideous green avalanche poured over the deck, soaking me to the bone. I bit my lip till I tasted blood, as the life-line cut into my cold, salt-water-soaked hands, and old man Neptune ' s glorious sea tried hard to pull me over the side a nd down to Davy Jones ' locker. I finally won that struggle, but did not feel fit for another. Under special orders we had suddenly been detailed to join the Scouting Fleet at Panama. We had been docked in our home port, and I had been looking forward to a pleasant Christ- mas furlough. Now here I was, terribly sea- sick, grimly hanging on to a stanchion con- nected to a lurching steel tub, over one hundred miles out at sea, with two theatre tickets in my pocket, besides a full month ' s pay. What a way to spend Christmas. I definitely decided to de- sert the next time we hit port. The Mickey ' s lissome hull slipped dizzily down the side of a breaker into a cavernous hol- low. With a sickening roll, which only a destroyer could perform, she started up the in- cline of the next vertical volcanic-like breaker with her scuppers under. High above the decks, and too sea-sick to be of any use, the lookout desperately clung to his little crow ' s-nest, as the long tapering mast swung back and forth against the bleak grey sky like the pendulum of a mammoth grandfather ' s clock. A howling gale whipped the snowflakes into a biting blizzard. Far below decks, sweating and swearing, the engineers tried vainly to keep their balance. It would be very unpleasant to trip and fall into those churning pistons. A shrieking wind, a resounding crash, and our wireless was ren- dered useless. A gigantic comber tore away our forward port lifeboat. All the gobs were busily engaged, trying to do their work. A tired overworked naviga- tion officer decided to go to the galley for a cup of hot coffee. He stepped out of the cabin to the bridge and glanced aloft at the ice-coated rigging. Warily he started down the ladder that was coated with frozen salt-water spray, and which led to the deck. Another drunken lurch on the part of the Destroyer 237, and the officer slipped, fell, rolled across the tilted deck, and was washed overboard. Luckily, as he had been working in the cabin, he had not been wear- ing heavy oilskins. The cry of Man overboard ! was raised, and the deck force ran to their life-saving stations. The ship ' s headway was immediately checked, and oil was poured over the side to smooth the choppy seas. The air, trapped in the officer ' s clothes, bouyed him up for an instant. During this instant, a life-preserver was hurled to him. He could now last a little while longer. The sea was too rough to even think of lowering a boat. A quick-thinking sailor grabbed up a coil of rope, tied a bowline around his body, and thrust the other end into my hands. While the little ship was on the crest of an Atlantic roller, he dived over the side. Other seamen rushed to help me guide the line that depended on the life of two men. Gamely the bluejacket, who had shed his clothing in the teeth of a blizzard, battled through the icy water towards the ex- hausted officer. As we watched our mate, we leaned dangerously over the side to note his progress. Other times, we had to strain our necks to gaze at the top of a green avalanche of water, where he still battled the elements. Finally he reached our navigation officer, and we heaved on the line to pull them aboard. There was great danger that they would be crushed between the hull of the ship and the sea, but Uncle Sam ' s Sea Fighters were trained to over- come this difficulty. The rescued and his res- cuer were hauled safely aboard the ship. We immediately returned to our work and professional grumbling. On giving some time to meditation over my grievances, I decided not to desert after all. Wasn ' t I supposed to be a sailor? And wasn ' t this a real sailor ' s holiday? It ' s not such a bad outfit, and a great life, if you like it. Xke New Year Virginia Pray 35 As the old year rolled down in the west, So came the new beaming over the crest. Far down below on the shivering plain, Stood an old man stooping over his cane, Wondering when his road should give way, And let another step into his day. All his life he had pondered in vain, In search of a treasure he could never obtain, Unless he could walk, and in some age be free To gallop about in a young merry spree. He was robbed of his childhood when just a boy. But should he have given up and looked not for joy? Yes, he had given up much to his pain, And crawled to his perch far out in the plain, Where no one could find him and pry in his past, Whence he might have found shelter up to the last. But now he is old and so all alone, When he might have been famous and sat on a throne ; But that one disappointment made him give up, And never again could he build or retouch. Wky Ckristmas D onald Foskett 35 The human race has always had certain char- acteristics by which it may be identified and set aside from other creations of God. The race, as a whole, will probably continue to possess them as long as it exists, regardless of mental and physical improvements by which it may become more efficient. One of the chief results of this fault or asset, whichever it may be, is the forget- fulness of, and, oftentimes, utter disregard of, the meaning of Christmas. Christmas is undoubtedly the most universally observed holiday of the year. Countries the world over, although they may not observe other holidays in common, certainly celebrate Christ- mas as one large community. This day, then, is recognized from the point of view of the world as a whole, as the most important day of the year, even though each individual country may have its own significant holidays. It would seem that people ought to realize the great significance of this day. On the contrary, many people do not recognize this significance, nor do they feel obliged or thankful to anyone or anything on this day. To them it means merely the ex- changing of gifts and the enjoyment of a day free from work and care. To me these things make up a part of the Christmas celebration, but, when one considers carefully, they make up only a minor part. The real celebration is in giving thanks to God, and in feeling joyous for the birth of Christ. These two things really are the basic principles of all Christmas activities, in spite of the fact that many other things take one ' s attention on that day. If a person is to really enjoy Christmas and celebrate it in the proper spirit, he must cease to be forgetful of its meaning. If he celebrates it in the right way, it is safe to say that he will discover a new-found joy in being grateful to God and in being more charitable to his fellow men.

Same to you, Janis, came the gruff voice. As Janis entered the outside world, she pulled her trim fur collar up around her because snow and wind were blowing from all directions. Silently and downcast with tear-dimmed eyes, she walked briskly toward her apartment. As she walked she was in very deep thought. Why had she refused Curt ' s proposal of marriage? Why, oh, why, had she sent him away angry especially on Christmas eve? Should she call him up and apologize? No, she had never apologized to a man, and she would not begin now. That was definitely out. She would just wait until he came to her again, if he ever would. Abruptly, her thoughts changed. Upon en- tering the apartment house, she heard Joan and Tommy, the two small children who lived down- stairs, crying and pleading with their mother. This added more to Janis ' s troubles, for she loved Joan and Tommy. She and Curt had taken them for many bus rides and walks through the park. The children, spying Janis in the hall, came up to her crying, Jannie, please, oh, please Jan- nie, will you take us down to the park to the Christmas tree tonight? Mamma said she was busy and could not take us. Please Jannie. Janis, having nothing else to do, decided at once to fill their wishes. She told them that she would take them. Happily they kissed Janis, and ran into their room. When the clock struck seven, Janis went down stairs, and much to her surprise she found Joan and Tommy waiting for her. Seeing her approaching they said, Jannie, you are so nice and we are so happy. Are you happy too, Jannie? Janis with a forced smile, and false voice re- plied, Of course I am. Everyone should be happy at Christmas time. As they neared the park, they saw the gleam- ing lights of the huge Christmas tree, and heard the children ' s laughter. When they reached the hundreds of children and the tree, Joan and Tommy saw Santa Claus. Oooh, Joan! said Tommy, there is Santa Claus. I wonder if he has anything for us. May we go and see Jannie? Of course, she said, as she watched them go. Joan and Tommy approached Santa Claus. Have you anything for us? they asked meek- ly. Santa gazed at them, recognizing the two small children. He chuckled as he handed them two stockings full of fruit, and two candy canes. ' 1 hen remembering Janis, they asked if there might be anything for her. Santa Claus paused at the mention of Janis Stafford ' s name. Then with a smile he replied : Of course, but you must do as I tell you. Wait until i finish giving these presents out, take me to Miss Stafford, and I will give her her present then. The children agreed, and ran back to Janis with out-stretched hands, showing her what they had just received. Presently Santa Claus joined them. Hello my little friends, he said. Jam ' s, hearing this voice, stood in amazement. Santa continued, These children asked me if I had anything for you and I certainly have. He took a small plush case out of his pocket, and handed it to her. Janis opened it, and there was a diamond sparkling as much as Janis ' s eyes were at the moment. Santa threw down his pack, and seized Janis in his arms. Joan and Tommy looked at each other in amazement. All they heard was Janis saying Curt . Finally Joan looked at Tommy and said, Why is she calling him Curt? Doesn ' t she know that he is Santa Claus? Christmas 5tocLmgs They hang by the fireplace, Some long and some short, Waiting for Santa to dance and cavort Into the chimney above. One is of white, one is of blue, And a tiny brown one, So cunning and new — All waiting gifts from above. Down through the chimney he comes with a bang, Landing beneath those wee stockings that hang On the fireplace above. In baby ' s there goes a bonnet of blue, And here is a doll for small sister Sue. A kite for Johnny ; a bat for Lou. And thus you see Christmas as all children do. Betie Young ' 33 REFLECTOR ...5... CI aus Alarjorie Fulton 35 Mr. J. Hammersworth Knowles was in a fix. Much to his great disgust his wife had said that he would be Santa Claus at the Xmas tree of the Sisters of Independence. He had pleaded and begged in vain but Her Majesty , Mrs. Knowles, was not to be swayed from her pur- pose. J. Hammersworth would be Santy, and, what ' s more, he would like it. Mrs. Knowles worked feverishly making the outfit, and finally, about four o ' clock on the day before Christmas, Mr. J. Hammersworth obediently stuffed pillows fore and aft and with the help of the missis, donned the familiai regalia of that loved old Saint of Christmas time. At five o ' clock, he was sitting atop a card- board an d wood chimney, awaiting his cue to climb down a ladder and appear through a false fireplace set up in front of the stage where the kiddies could see him. Mrs. Harris, the president of the Sisters of Independence, had told him that when she said, I hear him coming now, dear children, J. Hammersworth was to rattle bells, and start climbing down the ladder. At present Mrs. Harris was telling about the Xmas box going to Honolulu, and J. Ham- mersworth fearfully awaiting his cue, was dis- gustingly adjusting his pack full of toys. Suddenly it came. Mrs. Harris ' s voice rose musically, saying, Here he comes now, dear children. Mr. Knowles reached for the bells, but, alas, no bells were to be found. He hadn ' t taken them off the dresser-Oh, what to do! I think I hear him, dear ones, repeated Mrs. Harris, raising her voice higher. Mr. Knowles rose to the occasion. He sang out, Whoa, there, whoa! and started to climb down the ladder. When he had got safely down to the next to the last rung of the ladder, his red coat caught on a nail, and the first the dear children saw of Santy Claus, was a pair oi black boots, red trousers, and because the nail held the coat up, a bright blue pillow held by a piece of white clothesline. Finally, the nail relinquished its hold, and the coat dropped down over the blue abdominal structure of St. Nicholas Safely down, St. Nicholas endeavored to climb out of the fireplace, amid the cries of the dear children ' and the applause of the Sisters of Independence. Had not Santy been in too much of a rush to stand up and wave to his friends, all would have been well; but, as it were, he attempted to arise too quickly, and consequently bumped his head on the cardboard mantlepiece, with the result that the whole fire- place collapsed. The dear children screamed in mirth, while Santa boiled with rage. After the janitor had cleared the wreckage away, Santa sat down in a big chair and invited the dear kiddies to come up and tell him what they wanted for Christmas. With a yell the kiddies roared up and over old Santy. They first punched his stomach which being safely protected behind the pillows, felt no damage. Secondly, one especially sweet little child grabbed his whiskers and ripped them off, revealing J. Hammersworth, now purple with anger. I fear that he forgot that he was representing Santa Claus. Grabbing the little boy who had shorn him of his whiskers, he cuffed him smartly across the back of the head, at the same time deftly kicking another mischievous young man who was engaged in pouring Xmas candy down one of Santy ' s boots. This treatment of their children was too much for the Sisters of Independence, several of whom headed for Santa Claus. One of them grabbed him by the arm. J. Hammersworth, thinking her to be one of the children, promptly knocked her on the head with a toy tin trumpet. Let us draw a veil over the rest of this Christ- mas scene. Suffice it is to say, that Mr. J. H. Knowles was never again asked to be Santy for the Sisters of Independence. Tke Rainbow I tried to paint a picture, A picture bright and gay, But someone stole my bright and hues, And left my colors dull and grey. There was no blue to paint the sky, No red to paint the rose; So I painted the approaching storm While the world lay in repose. The thunder roared, the lightning flashed, Then grievously came the rain ; The sun shown through the frowning clouds, My art was bright again. A rainbow gleamed across the sky, Its colors bright and new. I found the red to paint the rose ; Once more my sky was new. M. Setterland ' 38 REFLECTOR A Cknstmas Story Too mey ' 36 The house was in the most exclusive section of the city. Claire Grahame, beautifully gowned in a Lanvin creation, looked petulantly out upon a snow-covered world. The storm had abated, although the wind was blowing sheets of fine drift about. It would surely spoil her party. The high-ceilinged room was resplendent in its rich furnishings. Interior decorators had produced a marvelous effect. Myriads of light- beams from the great candelabras played upon the superb decorations. Here was wealth. A maid came noiselessly into the room. The stars are already out, ma ' am, and the paths are nearly clear, she informed her frown- ing mistress. Is Mr. Grahame here yet? He has just arrived, ma ' am. A nervous apologetic John Grahame entered the room. Why are you late? she accused. I stopped to listen to some carol singers — boys, with such sweet voices — Carol singers! I worried because you were not here. Henri has not come, and Celeste in- sisted upon going to her sister ' s sick child. I depend on them for perfection of details. I know I shall be ill when this party is over. Unhappiness joined hands with Wealth. The home was one room among many in a ramshackle tenement. Two children and their mother pressed their faces against the cold win- dow glass. They clapped their hands with joy that the storm was gone. The little room was piteously poor in its furnishings; nevertheless, to the two little girls and their mother, it had taken on a truly festive air, since they had arrayed a little tree in one corner, and fastened a red ball in each window. But it was on the little table in the corner that their eyes came to rest. Here they had placed a little crib among some boughs of evergreen Over it a single Christmas candle shed its soft light. Shall we go now? Marie asked. The roads are clear. Yes, the mother answered, smiling at their eagerness. Each year they spent part of Christmas eve at the little church in the square. Here they prayed, and their father, dead now three years, seemed to hear their hopes and plans. God brought him very close to them at Christmas time. They thanked God for His goodness, and asked that He would take care of them during the coming year. Eager-eyed and joyful, they came out from the little church into the fairy palace of the world.

Betty Groht ' 35 REFLECTOR ...7... Grandmotker s Story Florence McDowell 37 In an attractive old-fashioned house a group of people were seated around a large fireplace. The wood was crackling, and the sparks were blowing cheerily up the chimney. One of this group, an old lady with beautiful snow-white hair, which was brushed back softly off nei wrinkled forehead, was seated in a large arm- chair. Three children sat at her feet, on the hearth rug before the open fire. The youngest child was leaning sleepily against her grandmother ' s chair, and they were all clamoring for their usual good-night story. The old lady started in with: Well, my lit- tle children, as long as it is the night before Christmas, I shall tell you a Christmas story that is true. When I was a little girl, my father went to fight in the Civil War. The months stretched out wearily. They were certainly un- happy ones for us. For weeks at a time we would be without word from our father. Often we would find our mother in tears, but when she saw us, her lips would break into a sweet smile. Finally all word failed to reach us. We waited and waited, but no letter came. One day, when we came in from our play, we found a great many people in our home. Our aunt led us into a room and told us that our daddy was dead, that he had given his life for his country, and that we should feel very proud. This was just before Thanksgiving time, and the news dampened our spirits greatly, and we felt that we had little to be thankful for. Days went past, and Christmas drew near; but we were not welcoming it with anticipation, because we missed our father so much. Mother prepared as usual, by baking and putting her house in order, and by making everything as inviting as possible. Finally the day before Christmas came. Mother was hurrying about, and we were ' all helping her, because we knew she was unhappy. We were all popping corn to make corn- balls when we heard a knock at the door. John, my brother, started to the door, but he had the corn-popper in his hand ; so mother told him she ' d go. Upon opening the door, she stood there, speechless. We all turned our heads rc see who it was, and we heard mother sob. ' Oh, my dear. Can it be true? Can it be true you are here? Come in! Come in! ' Our daddy walked in the door. He clasped us all in his arms, while we shed tears of happi- ness to feel him so close to us once more. Mother clung to him, and asked him how such a thing could happen. He looked at us in sur- prise, and asked us what we meant. So mother then told him how we had received word that he was dead. Father was certainly surprised ; then he felt sad that we had suffered such sorrow. He said that they were in the battle-line and a man, one who happened to be his best friend, had been without a coat, so he had covered him up with his own, never thinking he would die. When this soldier was found badly mutilated, they found daddy ' s coat near the body. The paper in the pockets had identified the man as my father. Later, daddy said, he himself was picked up by the enemy, and held prisoner. He had just been released and had come home as soon as possible. That was the best Christmas I ever had. We laughed so much, in our excitement, we almost forgot to eat the big, brown, crispy tur- key mother had cooked. We had so many peo- ple coming in and out, our door was always open. Mother had candles everywhere, and we certainly made up for our unhappy Thanks- giving, because we had more to be thankful for than anyone else in the world. Now, my little chickens, the story is over and so you must hur- ry and hang up the stockings, and scamper up the stairs. Grandma hurried them along in this fashion, because she didn ' t want them to see the tears which were shining in her eyes. Rita Linnehan : Ned turned to Joe and ad- dressed him — Rita Lawrence: Must be going to send him somewhere. Ned Houghton (at a party) : Hello! It ' s a peasant surprise to meet you here. Mac: Good of you to say so. Ned Houehton: Yes, I was afraid I should not find anybody here but brainy and cultured people. He: I ' m so sorry, dearest, that your father cannot afford the big church wedding you ' ve set vour heart on. She: Oh. I don ' t mind a small wedding for my first time, sweetheart. Perhaps father will be better fixed financially when I marry- again. REFLECTOR ...8... Ckristmas for Sailors Gordon Flett ' 36 In the year 1919 the American Submarine S- 1 9 floated on the surface charging her great storage batteries. The conning tower was open, and the men shivered in the cold air as they checked the forward gun, to be positive it was in good condition. It was near Christmas and the thoughts of the men were of their loved ones at home. They were tired of the cramped quarters of a sub , and the ever present danger of death. Larson, the second mate on watch, suddenly sprang up and shouted an alarm. Five enemy bombing planes were seen not far away. All the men disappeared into the depths of the sub , and she started forward, disappearing below the surface. The German High Command had issued orders for the destroying or the capture of the S-19, and two German destroyers of the latest type, and the German submarine U-27 were in search of the S-19, to carry out their orders. The two destroyers were a half-mile apart, the U-27 bringing up the rear a mile behind. The American commander knew of the two destroy- ers, but was unaware of the submarine. He gave the order to lie on the bottom and to let the destroyers pass over them. When the man at the listening tubes had declared the destroyers over and passed, they rose to the surface. An order prepared all torpedo tubes ready to fire. Fire torpedo one! came the command, followed by Fire torpedoes three and four! Three long gray torpedoes, one in the lead, shot forward. They hit one destroyer just be- low the surface, causing a bad list. The other two all but blew the remaining destroyer out of the water. Confusion immediately followed. Men leaped into the freezing waters, boats were launched ; but, unnoticed, except by German officers, the enemy sub , U-27, rose to the sur- face. Taking the situation in, the commander gave orders to fire the forward gun. Sailors rushed forward, took aim,, and fired at the S-19. The shell tore a hole in the upper part of the con- trols in such a way as to make the ship respond rather sluggishly. The S-19 dived in hopes of eluding the Germans, but they too submerged. Suddenly a throbbing was heard. This in- creased in volume until it deafened them ; then it decreased. Several times this happened, and the Americans realized the German sub was try- ing to ram them. They could not escape, be- cause of the damaged controls, and a crash would not harm the enemy sub because of its nose which was intended for ramming. Again the throbbing, louder than before, increased in vol- ume, and then came a deafening crash. Lights flickered. Air burst on the outside of the sub- marine with the noise of a cannon. Strong men screamed in fear of a watery death. At length they were quiet. Everything seemed all right. Then the truth came to all. The German sub- marine had crossed at an angle, just below the S-19, but the conning tower had struck the heavy keel of the S-19, causing the tower to snap off, and fill the enemy sub with water immediately. The Americans again rose to the surface. Oil lay on the water, but, otherwise, there was no evidence of the fight of hatred and death below the surface, which had just taken place. The S-19 made her way slowly into her Naval Base a day later. The men would be on land for Christmas and its joys, but their minds were on the unfortunate men in the enemy sub U-27 and their death. They wondered if their turn to perish was coming. If so, when and how? Christmas Day The dawn broke quietly and stealthily over the slumbering village. The lazy sun rose over the hill and shone brightly, reflecting on the milky snow. From the gray-blue skies fell large, fluffy snowflakes, covering the earth with a deeper and heavier blanket. The branches of the bare trees were hanging low, threatening to crack under the strain of the snow piled on them. Gradually the village awoke from its slum- bering stillness. Signs of life appeared, shades went up, and gay colorful wreaths hung in the windows, or some bright bearing Christmas tree was trying to show off its ornaments behind the curtains. Men hurriedly made paths to the woodshed to fetch wood. Smoke curled from the chimneys into the cold, frosty air. Everyone arose joyfully for it was Christmas Day, the birthday of our Saviour, a day of cele- bration and happiness. The church bells chimed, and from every doorway children ran out, laugh- ing and jumping as their thankful parents fol- lowed behind. They were going to the Lord ' s house to thank Him for all He had given them and the joy and happiness He had brought. Lucie Leone ' 37 REFLECTOR . ..9... A Little Blue C ar Miriam B. Nask ' 37 In the kitchen of the Wilcox home, was Tom Wilcox, a young fellow about eighteen years old. Placed on a table in front of him were numer- ous articles, all bearing a decidedly Christmas air. At his left hand were scissors, ribbon, seals, and sheets of multi-colored paper. He was ap- parently ready for work of some sort, for his sleeves were rolled up, his necktie was lacking, and his bed slippers were on his feet. He ap- peared to have a list, which he was checking over. Hm—socks for Uncle Herbert— scarf for Aunt Gertrude-neckties for Ed, George, and Donald —handkerchiefs for Grandma-pipe for Dad- money for Mother— bottle of perfume for Sis- toy automobile for Johnnie-hm-g uess that ' s all. Seems to be all here too. Starting at the top of his list, he methodically wrapped each package. That is, until he came to the little car. There, his masculine curiosity for mechanics overpowered him, and following the directions most carefully, he wound it up, and set it on the floor. The car, however, did not want to go. Upon investigation, he decided that a push directed to the right spot was needed. But still the car did not go. Then, like all boys, little or big, he started to find out the reason by taking the little blue car apart. Before he had gone far, however, he found the trouble— a screw loose. He whistled as he set the screw aright, forgetting that Johnnie was a light sleeper. As he put the car on the floor for the last trial, a figure, clad in pajamas, appeared in the doorway. What are y a doing? ' ' Johnnie inquired as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes. Huh? Ah— nothing much, Tom answered, trying to hide the car with his foot. But fate intervened, and the little blue car decided to go. Clicking away, it went straight to Johnnie. Oh— (This was all that Johnnie could say.) Dropping to his knees, he picked it up, over- come with joy. Do you like it? Tom asked. But the question was not heeded, for Johnnie was completely absorbed by his little blue car. As he played, he began to wonder whose car it was, what it was doing in the kitchen, and why Tom had been playing with it. Tom seemed to read his thoughts and said : It ' s yours, Johnnie. I was going to give it to you as a Christmas present, but since this has happened, you may have it now. Come! it ' s late, and you ' ll wa nt to be up early tomorrow. That night a little boy went to bed, tired but happy, and clasping a little blue car in his hand. oppmg K. Newkert ' 35 Shopping is just another of the things that I can ' t understand. If a man wants a suit of clothes or a pair of shoes, he proceeds to pur- chase them. On the other hand, if a woman wants a dress or a coat, she goes shopping. The dictionary might give the definition of shopping as purchasing, but, to me, these two words have a vastly different meaning. If there is one thing that ruins my whole week-end, it is being told that I am going shopping with my mother. Why on earth a woman has to shop is beyond my comprehension. When she starts out she has in mind exactly what she is going to get, but she does not pro- ceed to buy it. First, she begins to window- shop. From this point on, any male knows that all hope of enjoyment has fled from his clutches. From window to window, he is led by a never tiring female. Everv once in a while she sees something that she likes, and in- vestigates it. Minutes drag into hours, and finally when the disgusted male is half-starved and literally ' out on his feet , she remembers, Oh, my coat. Then with a remarkable supply of energy, she leads him about with great haste, finally termi- nating in the purchase of a coat. Of course, she is either in too much of a hurry to try it on, and she arrives home to find out it won ' t fit, or she finds that she has changed her mind, or that it didn ' t match, or that it just somehow wasn ' t satisfactory. Then, after all her work, she sends it back with the correct size, color, and price. When her next coat arrives, she finds it somehow fits perfectly, and suits her implicitly. Why couldn ' t she have done this in the first place? What is it, if anything, that is gained by shopping? Another thing, why on earth can ' t two wo- men wear similar dresses without some show of disgust. Year in and year out men wear almost identical clothes, and don ' t seem to mind it. It seems to me that there must be something amiss in women ' s make-up that forces them to be so, as nearly as I can define it, fickle. Sk REFLECTOR ...10... Xke Christmas Rose Which rose would appeal to you the most, the first in spring, the last in summer, or the one in mid-winter, towering up through a blanket of snow? The winter rose, which is characteristic of the season, having only one leaf and white coloring, would probably appeal to most people. This rose is commonly called the Christmas Rose because of a certain legend. The story dates back to the year our Christ- child was born. Madelon, a flower girl, who had heard about the birth of the new King, was eager to see him. So when the shepherds set out to see the new-born King, Madelon followed quietly behind. Although weary as she was without food, she followed, encouraged and strengthened by the thought of seeing Christ. She noticed the numerous gifts the shepherds had for Him, and she had come empty-handed. Here she was, alone, with nothing to offer and with not a farthing to her name. If it were summer, she could have picked a bouquet of flowers, but in midwinter it was useless. As she was reflecting these things in her mind, her guardian angel, who was the only person who realized her trouble, planted roses around her. She picked the roses eagerly, and presented to the Christ-child a bouquet of flowers and of love. Mary Tirrell ' 36 Xke Tkings I Do When I run downstairs in the morning, The things I am going to do Skip joyfully down before me, And laugh, and I laugh too. We run out into the garden And into the broad sunlight, And some I sing and play with, And some I forget till night. When, in the purple evening, I clamber up to bed, The things I have done come up behind ; They never run ahead. Some sigh as they creep behind me, Some smile and chuckle too, Some say, ' ' Why, don ' t you remember? We ' re what you were going to do ! So the good, the bad, the forgotten, Together upstairs we creep, And they sit down round my pillow, And talk till I fall asleep. Catherine Smith ' 37 On Doing Up Christmas Bundles Christmas time is rolling around again, and that means that a few million people will be lost in jungles of tissue paper, string, glue, and seals. Being an old hand at the game, I will attempt to give you a few ideas on this matter, which weighs heavily on your brain. All a per- son needs to play this game is a sheet of tissue paper and an object to be wrapped. To begin, you lay a piece of tissue paper on the table. Next, by means of various instru- ments, you find the centre, and place the object to be wrapped on that spot. You extinguish the lights, and creep up gently, lest it hear you. Then all at once you make a dash, gather the paper and object in your arms, snarl ferociously, and toss them gently in the direction of the Christmas tree. Then you turn on the light and face the world with a clear conscience. I visited a man last Christmas while he was doing up bundles. Everything was quiet, until aided by the blue streak of curses which emitted from his mouth, the paper started to crackle and my ears started to burn. So it is with regret that I view the coming of Christmas tide with misgivings for it is, as I have yet known, the only time when all Americans, after suffering from listening to radio comedians three hundred and sixty-four days out of the year, go completely, (pardon my English) nuts from doing up Christmas bundles. Charles Tibbs ' 35 No Ck ances Dickie and Frank, aged five and seven, were spending a few days with their rich and gener- ous grandmother while their mother and father were away . A few nights before Christmas, Dickie and Frank were preparing for bed, and their grand- mother was in the next room, waiting for them to go to bed so that she could put out the light. Frank said his prayers, and crept under the blankets. Dickie, still on his knees, was asking Heaven for a large order of Christmas toys. As he increased, his voice grew louder and loud- er. He spoke somewhat in this manner : O Lord, please send me a drum and a tool chest — a big tool chest, Lord — and an automo- bile and a large truck and — . Provoked, the older brother, raising himself up on his elbow, said angrily, Say, you needn ' t be praying so loud. The Lord isn ' t deaf. I know he isn ' t, said Dickie, but Grandma is. Jennie Worthley ' 35 REFLECTOR ...11... How A Dog Celeb rated CliriStmaS Herbert Sullivan ' 35 Our scene is laid far up in Alaska. It is a cold, bleak night. Snow is falling; the wind is starting to rise; a blizzard is in the making. Far down in a valley a light gleams. Let us approach this light. As we near it, we see through the flakes of snow, fast becoming thicker, that the light is glowing through the window of a prospector ' s small cabin. Let us go up and peek in the window now. Before a fireplace with a roaring fire in it, we see two men. One is a grizzled, middle-aged man who looks as if he had seen much of the hardest side of life; the other, a young healthy looking fellow, hardly out of his teens. How they got ac- quainted is of no importance, but a brief history of both might help the story. The older man is an experienced prospector, having made and lost many fortunes. Nobody knows where he came from, but that, matters little. The young fellow is from one of the cities of the western coast. He had gone away from a home, and taken shelter with the old prospector. Now let us do a little eavesdropping and listen in on their conversation. But, perhaps before we go farther, it might be well to give names to our two unsuspecting subjects of attention. We shall know the old prospector as Dan, and the young fellow as Dick. Now let their conversation proceed. Dick is speaking. There has been a long silence. I say, Dan, do you know what night this is? Then, answering his own question, It ' s Christ- mas Eve. Waa-11, drawled Dan, after a long drag on his pipe, what of it? Days are all the same to ya after ya been living up hyar as long as I have. Oh, nothing, quickly answered Dick. Then with a bit of remorse, he added, I was only thinking of when I was a kid. That was be- fore mother and dad — Then he choked up. But did I ever tell you of the Christmas that dad struck it rich and got himself a good job? That was my first real Christmas. Then he stopped, and looked at Dan to see if there was any disapproval in his looks. Upon seeing none, he proceeded with his story. The truth is that Dan knew little of the boy ' s early life ; he had been very quiet in regard to it. Dan welcomed this story of Dick ' s. Now let us go on with Dick ' s story. Well, we had practically finished our first real Christmas dinner that we had had in years, when I went out in the kitchen to get the des- sert. As I stepped inside, I heard a soft whine at the door. I opened it. There was a small mongrel pup, bedraggled, thin, and hungy-look- ing. As we hadn ' t finished the turkey, I thought there would be no objections to my feeding the rest of it to the dog; so in he came. Did he go into that ! After he had had his fill of meat, I handed him a dish of milk. When he had come in, he could hardly stand up, but soon he looked as if he could lick anything his size. At length, instead of lying down and resting, he went over to the door, and gave a few gulps. When I opened the door, he grabbed the cuff of my pants, and tried to pull me along. I couldn ' t see anything wrong with going with him ; so, after putting on my coat and hat and telling mother and d ad I was going out, I fol- lowed along. Now we lived right next to a very poor district. To this district he led me, and right up to the door of one of the poor, broken-down hovels. I knocked at the door. My knock was answered by a little boy of about five. He had clothes on that could scarcely have kept him warm in a heated house, let alone without any warmth except for a small kitchen range. When the boy saw the dog, he went down on his knees, and put his little arms around the furry neck of the dog. He was so happy to see the pup that he scarcely noticed me. A bit later, however, he asked me in. He had little to offer, but he was glad to give me all of it for bringing back his pup. He and his mother lived there all alo ne. His mother had lost her job three weeks before and had, by now, spent all her meagre savings. Before I left, I had already planned to do something for them. Upon getting home, I told mother and dad the whole story, and they agreed to follow my suggestion. This was my plan: I would buy some clothes and toys for the little shaver, mother could buy food and clothes for his mother, and dad, who had many influential friends, would get her a job. Somewhat later, when we presented this good news to the poor couple, they both broke down and cried. All because of a smart little pup! Somehow or other, I was much more pleased with this Christmas than any other that I can REFLECTOR ... 12... remember. Some day, when I strike it rich, I ' m going to do the same thing, whether it ' s Christmas or not. Dan didn ' t say a word. He just sat there, puffing pleasantly on his pipe. Finally, he spoke, I guess Christmas is worth remembering, after that story! Let us leave them now, while they both think of Christmas Eve. HeC ame Th Tke Fiekt Before Ch ristmas O, Algernon Percival Oscar McFish Was in love with the swe.etest of girls you could wish, Though he wore quite the thing from his shoes to his hat, Alas and alaska ! his pockets were flat. A sweet little girl was Susie May White, A nice little number, a wonderful sight; But all that she bought was always the best, As Algernon Percival already guessed. ' Twas the week before Christmas as Algy walked down To view all the gifts one could buy in the town. They were all far above his simplest of means, Fit only for movie stars, shop girls, and queens. Well, Algernon Percival brooded awhile, When over his face there travelled a smile. An idea dawned like a light in his head, Which he rushed to complete before going to bed. Algernon Percival reeled down the street, He bumped against Susie and trod on her feet. Horror prevailed in Miss Susie May White, As she gasped in disgust, Why, Algy, you ' re tight! Twas the fight before Christmas, the workings of Fate, And Algernon Percy was given the gate; He enjoyed a gay Christmas, a happy New Year, And when ' twas all over to Susie said, Dear ' I apologize humbly, forgive me, my love. You beautiful creature, you exquisite dove. As for Susie, her horror and heart he made well; Back into his arms she tumbled and fell. So, amorous swains and moonstricken youths, The week before Christmas imply these un- truths. The damsels are cute, but expensive and dumb, And thus you can keep them right under your thumb. Carol Seach ' 36 rough Tom Manly and Jim Davidson were guards on the Stanford basketball team. They were both good players, but Tom was jealous of Jim. One night the team was facing the Newbury team. Tom made two baskets, and in the last few minutes of the game Jim made his third. Tom didn ' t like this. Jim knew it. Jim rea- soned, however, that he was playing for the school rather than to please Tom. The next afternoon Jim was walking down the street on his way to the store. When he came to Whitman Street, a street closed for the purpose of sliding, he saw Tom coming down the hill on his sled. Instead of turning into the field before he reached the main street, he came straight on toward the main street and destruc- tion. Jim thought fast. He yelled to Tom to let the rope go, and as Tom went by, Jim grabbed the rope. Tom was thrown off the sled into a snowbank, from which he climbed without any injuries. Mumbling his thanks, he walked away. When the boys and girls praised Jim, Tom grew more jealous than ever. That night at the gym the coach called Tom aside, and told him if he didn ' t show more sports- manship he would be put off of the team. He also told him that Jim had practically saved his life, and he didn ' t see why he wasn ' t more friendly towards him. Tom did some serious thinking during the game. After the game he walked up to Jim, and told him that he was ready to be a friend. From then on the boys were the best of friends. The team won more games through their co-operation, and the school as a whole had more spirit. Helen Downton ' 37 Ch nstmas Christmas time is here, And everyone is full of cheer.

Richard Milner ' 38 REFLECTOR ristmas in Holl ana Robert Pine 37 Many of us have wondered how Christmas is celebrated in far-away lands. In Holland the holiday called St. Nicholas ' Day; and it is a day devoted entirely to him, and not a cel- ebration of the birth of Christ, as is the case in our country. Also St. Nick visits the earth on the fifth of December, and distributes gifts early in the morning of the sixth, which is his day. In Dutch houses there is a room called the grand parlor. This is regarded as most sacred. Of course it is kept very clean after the Dutch fashion. Admittance to this room is gained only on special occasions, and one of these is St. Nicholas ' Day and St. Nicholas ' Eve. On the eve of St. Nick ' s Day, the family gathers in the grand parlor, and after a great deal of game-playing by the children, St. Nicholas him- self appears. He warns the children of the wrongs they have done during the year. How- ever, nobody is forgotten when he distributes gifts, unless he has been particularly bad. After the saint has finished speaking, he throws a great shower of sugar-plums on a sheet spread out on the floor, and then departs. The children scramble for the plums, but it is seen that everyone gets his share. After this every- body enters another room and they each leave a shoe on a large table for the saint to fill. Then everyone goes to bed. They wake up early in the morning and go to their shoes which are usually filled with gifts. The remainder of the day is spent in worshipping St. Nicholas. Her Ideal He was 100 per cent, perfect. He went to a doctor at least once a year for physical examina- tion, as well as to a dentist. He ate all nourish- ing foods, went to bed at an early hour, arising at an early hour in the morning. He never for- got his health exercises each morning. He brushed his teeth three times a day, got plenty of fresh air, and was an all-round athlete. He was prepared to live a hundred years at least. The funeral will be held next Wednesday at two o ' clock. He is survived by fifteen doctors, eighty-one institutions, four nurses, and ten health commissioners. He forgot to look both ways at the railroad crossing. Lillian Parnell ' 35 The Union Pacific S treamline Irain William K earns 37 Recently a new era in transportation and prog- ress was gained by the new, best streamline train. The Union Pacific Railroad had the first one made. Now many railroads are ordering these new trains, which have a maximum speed of one hundred ten miles an hour. The train of six cars weighs only two hundred tons, while the steam train of today having the same number of coaches weighs seven hundred tons. The train is air-conditioned and the shatter-proof w indows are sealed. The air in the train is changed every four minutes. The train on the interior is almost a white on the ceiling, and the colors keep getting darker, until under the window the color is a dark blue. On the outside, the train is a golden brown on the roof and bottom, and the sides are yellow. A strip of red separates the colors. The Pullman coach is a combination sleeping car, compartment, and ordinary coach all in one. The sections, at every seat, may be closed at any time, making a compartment. The upper sleep- ing berth, when not in use, is pushed into the ceiling of the car. In each Pullman two sec- tions are made for men over six feet tall. On this train the cars are hinged together with one truck between each two cars instead of two. This makes much smoother riding when the train is moving at a fast rate of speed. The train is only a foot above the tracks. It is like the shape of a bullet. In the back end is the kitchen. It has dual controls, fog-penetrating head- lights, increased visibility of the motor engineer, and all other safety devices which I have men- tioned before, to increase the safety of those riding. A Christmas Tk ouaht Let us keep the Christmas spirit All throughout the year, By doing good to others, By bringing them love and cheer. Not doing and giving at Christmas, But living a life that is true, Will be the best Christmas present Your friends can get from you.

R estraint I ' m looking forward to the time When someone in this world of mine Will speak what ' s in his mind ; The time when he will cease to speak In well-bred phrases that are bleak And barren, if I delve. He speaks to me as anyone With whom he jokes and talks in fun. I knew him once, not now! This way in which he tries to hide Himself beneath suave vanity and pride Can hurt beyond all pain. I wonder just how long ' twill be Before we talk quite openly And understand again. It may turn out in that frank talk That I have changed in what I thought Was my regard for him. Till then I know ' most any cure Would be more simple to endure Than this uncertainty. Till one of us shall overcome This silence that we ' ve both begun, I must go on in doubt. Virginia Donley ' 35 The Spirit of Christmas Christmas comes but once a year, So why not fill it with Good Cheer? Let yourself yield to the Christmas call, Open your hearts to one and all, Forget what has happened in the past, Begin a new friendship that will last. It is not the gifts that, on Christmas Day, Pave the road for Friendship ' s stay; It is the thought in a single line, That makes the heart warm and the eyes shine. Ruth Kai ' 37 Christmas W orry When Christmas cheer is in the air, And people hurry here and there; When shopping is the main event, And all my money is most spent ; I rack my brain and start to fret About the gifts I shall forget To buy and wrap and send to friends, My, but I ' m glad when this all ends! I worry and I toss at night; Before it ' s over I ' m a sight. People ask me why I worry. Wouldn ' t they in all this hurry? Stowell ' 35 The N. B. C. The National Broadcasting Company is a part of Radio City, a group of large buildings in New York City. This company has the first ten floors of a seventy-story building. On the tenth floor is a large air-conditioning system, which, because of no windows in the building on account of noises from the street, keeps the temperature in both winter and sum- mer at seventy-two degrees. The remaining floors are mostly studios. These are furnished like an ordinary room so that new-comers to radio won ' t get afraid of the microphone just as actors get stage fright. In one of the rooms there are the sound effects; as, thunder, which is a sheet of metal; the noise of the Showboat pulling up to wharf, which is a paddle-wheel in a box of wa- ter, and also many other sounds heard on the radio. There is also a spacious auditorium for large broadcasts. This hall seats twelve hundred people. The stage, which is roomy, is made especially for good sound. Another interesting feature is that the doors from studio to studio are six inches thick, and no sound can go through them. As a matter of fact, the whole building of the National Broadcasting Company is very well planned, with all conveniences for radio. B. Tisdale ' 37 Christmas Dreams I watch the fire glimmer on the wall, Dance and gleam, fade and fall. I hear the wail of the wind outside, Feeling glad that I ' ve a place to abide. I hear the kettle sing a contented song, And hear the sweep of snow on barren lawn, And the magic music of the winter swirl, Creating a warmness in the Christmas world. And though the cold outside is strong, Still the love of peace on Christmas is born. It may come in a parcel, a card, or a book, But the smallest gift will receive a look. And always, at the end of that happy time, I love to pause, to think and recline, Before the open fire, and dream Of happy hours found in a peaceful scene. To watch the fire glimmer on the wall, Dance and gleam, fade and fall, To hear the wail of the wind outside, Overcome by the warming of Old Yuletide. Irene Cowett ' 35 REFLECTOR ...15...

It has made many suc- cessful journeys, weathered many storms, and its momentum has been accelerated. It is up to us to maintain and improve this fine record. There are many types and varieties of fuel, but the train accomplishes most when the best qual- ity of fuel is used. If we submit a certain qual- ity which does not prove to be quite satisfactory, let us not be discouraged. Rather let us dig deeper into our well of knowledge, so that we shall produce a better grade. It is sometimes difficult to uncover this grade, but let us get aboard the train of life. Each day ' s trip fur- nishes us with an abundant supply of material. We become involved in an interesting situation. We see various types of scenery. Although it may appear montonous to us ourselves, it will, if given the proper treatment, appeal to others who are not aboard our particular train. Surely your life train has gone to enough places, and has seen enough things which are worthy of be- ing related. Let us all be engineers, and hence through our efforts guide this Reflector train on the road to success. Dot Baker ' 35 Class Paper Success Newspapers and magazines are very expensive ventures. Publishers depend upon two things to pay for their publications, sales, and adver- tisements. If newspapers had to depend upon sales for financial support, most of them wouldn ' t lose a day. It is true that they try to have as great a circulation as possible, but this only to please their advertisers. The larger the circu- lation of the paper the more merchants will ad- vertise in them. Although certain magazines depend mostly on sales for support, some depend on advertisements. We at Weymouth High ought to take into con- sideration, both means for making our paper a success. We can do this by having everyone that is able buy a copy of the Reflector, and by patronizing our advertisers so that the adver- tisements will increase in quantity. John MacDonnell ' 35 REFLECTOR . . . 17 . . . w eymouth vs. Dedliai Weymouth met its fourth defeat of the sea- son at Dedham. From the opening whistle, it was evident that Weymouth was outclassed, and that the best they could do was fight to keep the score as low as possible and perhaps score a touchdown in doing so. Their attempt at the former was fairly successful, as they did very well in holding the powerful backfield of the opposing team to three touchdowns, one of which was a gift and totally unearned. How- ever, because of frequent fumbles and bad breaks, they were unable to score a touchdown, and the final score was Dedham 18, Wey- mouth 0. The Dedham linemen looked like old men compared to the Weymouth boys, and they proved to be just that in experience too. They continually broke through, to smear the Wey- mouth backs for losses; and, as Coach Kilroy ' s offensive is built for speed, their running attack was useless, because they were boxed in on every play. Paglucia, the powerhouse of the opposing backfield, repeatedly ripped open the Weymouth line and plunged through for first downs. For Weymouth, White and Batchelder, back- ing up the line, were the stars. Johnson and Arnold were the best ball carriers.

They returned with the firm conviction that they were second best, although Braintree had a tough fight — as they always do against Weymouth, lr was Braintree ' s objective game of the season, and some idea of the fervor with which they fought may be seen in the number of penalties REFLECTOR ...18... which they received. They were penalized ten times for a total of 115 yards, six of which were fifteen yarders for unnecessary roughness and for holding. Braintree scored their first touchdown near the close of the first period. A punt by Leary had put the ball on Braintree ' s 40-yard line. On the next play Braintree was penalized fifteen yards for holding. However, with twenty-five yards to go for a first down, Rogers threw a pass to Nelson, who was downed on the 50-yard stripe for a first down. Erickson then gained five vards through centre, and Nelson picked up twenty yards, putting the ball on the Weymouth 20-yard line. On the next play, Meehan broke loose around left end, and carried the ball over for a touchdown. The second touchdown was made in the second period. A pass thrown by Al Wilder was intercepted on the Weymouth 13-yard line. A minute later a Braintree back carried the ball across the goal line, where he fumbled it. A team mate recovered, and Braintree chalked up six more points. A forward pass was com- pleted for the extra point. In the third period Weymouth ' s line braced, holding Braintree scoreless, and at the same time enabling the backfield to pick up a couple first downs. Shortly after the opening of the final period, Braintree intercepted a forward pass, which again paved the way for their score. The touchdown was scored on a pass from Rogers to Dacy. Thereafter Weymouth fought furiously to score a touchdown, but the closest they could to the goal line was the 25-yard marker. In doing so they completed two passes. One (Wilder to Tibbs) was good for four yards; the other (Wilder to Batchelder) was good for twenty-two yards and a first down. The game ended with the ball in Weymouth ' s possession and in Braintree ' s territory. The kicking of Spike Leary was exceptional throughout the game while Tibbs played a great game at end for Weymouth . The lineup : WEYMOUTH BRAINTREE Tibbs 1. e Shea DeLorenzo Westfield Kelley 1. t.

The game had two outstand- ing features : the fine defensive work and the wild passing of both teams. In the entire forty-eight minutes of play only four first downs were made, each team having two to their credit. Weymouth made both of their first downs on passes. One, from Wilder to Bedford in the second period, gained fifteen yards and a first down on Plymouth ' s 40-yard line. However, this was the best Weymouth could do, for two plays later they fumbled, and Plymouth re- covered. After losing this opportunity, Wey- mouth tried to even things up, and threw Ply- mouth for a twenty yard loss on the next two plays. Intercepted passes played a large part in the game. The tide of battle changed back and forth, as first one team intercepted and then the other. Neither side seemed to know where their passes were going when they were thrown. At the end of the game the two teams were tied in this department also, as each team had inter cepted three passes. In the last period Weymouth tried desperately to score a touchdown. After Al Wilder had run a punt back fifteen yards, Tibbs reached into the clouds to pull down a pass which was good for a first down. On the next play Johnson gained five yards. O ' Connor then faded back to throw another pass, but was unable to get it off, and was tackled fifteen yards behind the line of scrimmage. A pass (Leary to McNeill) ot the fifteen yards back again, but on the next o ' ay another wild pass was intercepted by Ply- mouth. A few minutes later, just as the final REFLECTOR ...19... REFLECTOR . . . 20 . . . whistle blew, Plymouth made another first down, their second one of the game. Bill Pray, the Mite of Power , was the star of the game for Weymouth. Besides stop- ping every play attempted by Plymouth through his position, Pray blocked two kicks which helped greatly to save the day for Weymouth. The lineup : WEYMOUTH PLYMOUTH McKenna i. e.

The final score was 19 to 6, but this is far from being an accurate esti- mate of the game from a Weymouth standpoint. The game was a classic in every way ; everything a spectator could wish for was packed into it. There were sensational runs, flashy plays, beau- tiful punts, long passes, brilliant defensive stands in the shadows of the goal posts and the thrills of many intercepted passes. Besides all this there were two bands to entertain between the halves, and a collegiate touch was given by the sale of illustrated programs with pictures of the players. Weymouth kept the home crowd hoping up until the last period that perhaps they would finally turn in a victory over Hingham -- a feat which has never been achieved on Legion Field. However, the boys got some satisfaction from the fact that they were the first Weymouth team in five years to score on Hingham. Teddy Stewart was declared eligible for the third time this year and he started at quarter- back. With him throwing passes, Weymouth ' s passing attack was improved a hundred per cent. Weymouth completed seven passes during the game, four of which were good for first downs and one for a touchdown. Stewart to Tibbs was the combination used for most of the passes and it was the most efficient one used by Wey- mouth all year. There was no scoring in the first period al- though Hingham came very near to doing so when they carried the ball from their own 45 yard line to Weymouth ' s 3 yard line. Here the Weymouth line resisted four attempts made by Hingham to score and finally took the ball on downs. In the second period, Hingham opened up her passing attack for the first and only time in the game, and in this way scored their first touch- down. Henry White caught a punt on his own 28-yard line and ran it back twenty-five yards before he was downed. Then two passes were good for two first downs and on the next play Handrahan gained 15 yards around end putting the ball on Weymouth ' s 3 yard line. Bennet carried the ball over and Hingham was in the lead, 6 to 0. The third period was the bright spot of the game for Weymouth. They far outplayed Hingham and at the same time scored their on- ly touchdown of the game. Stewart started the period off by running the kick-off back 20 yards. Then he punted to Hingham ' s 30-yard line. Henry White ran the punt back 15 yards, but on the next play Red Batchelder intercepted a pass and ran 27 yards with it. Then Wey- mouth was thrown for a 10-yard loss, putting the ball on Hingham ' s 31 -yard line. Here Wey- mouth was given a completed pass and a first down when the receiver of a pass was interfered with another first down was made on rushes by Hunt, Batchelder and Johnson. Then came the play of the game. Teddy Stewart faded back to throw a pass to Tibbs. Tibbs caught the ball on the five yard line and, just as he was about to be smothered by four Hingham players, he tossed a short lateral pass to Butch Hunt, who carried the ball over the goal line and the score was tied, 6 to 6. The try for the extra point failed. Weymouth lost the game in the fourth period when, with the score tied, they began throwing passes around. Two of these were intercepted and resulted in touchdowns for Hingham. Soon after the period had begun, Eddie White inter- cepted a Hingham pass on his own 40-yard line and ran it back eight yards. On the next play Weymouth was penalized five yards for being offside. With fifteen yards to go for a first REFLECTOR ...21... down Teddy Stewart called for a forward pass. It was intercepted by Hingham. Two plays la- ter, Henry White carried the ball over from the 21 -yard line, and then kicked the goal for the extra point. Hingham took the lead again, 13 to 6. Immediately after the kick-off, Lamrock in- tercepted another pass and ran forty-two yards for a touchdown. Then, with only a few min- utes left to play, Weymouth had nothing else to do but pass. Stewart ran the kick-off back thirtv yards and after two rushes and two in- complete passes Hingham took possession of the ball on downs and kicked to Weymouth ' s 28 yard line. Weymouth then made a first down the first play on a pass from Stewart to Batchel- der. Another forward lateral from Stewart to Tibbs to Stewart was good for five more yards. After the game, a very stirring scene was pre- sented in the locker-room as Mr. Kilroy made the rounds of the whole squad, saying good-bye to everyone individually. Mr. Kilroy seemed to have his doubts about whether he will be back next year. However, the football squad is for him a hundred per cent and all of them hope that it will be possible for him to return. The results of the schedule may not have been those of a championship team, but they beat Belmont for the first time in ten years, they won two and tied one for the highest average in three years, and they succeeded in arousing at least a little school spirit for the first time in the past three football seasons. These are only a few of the improvements which Mr. Kilroy has made since he has been connected with Weymouth High. WEYMOUTH HINGHAM Tibbs L e Gilbert Yardlev Kelley I t Hatch Harry White Pray 1. g.

Dearest Ric: Weymouth High School has been the centre of a great deal of excitement lately. In fact, so much has happened since I saw you last I hardly know where to begin. The French Club, under the direction of Mis- Canning, has been organized for the year. The newly elected officers are as follows : President, Madelyn Wilson ; Vice-President, Virginis Don- lev ; Secretarv, Arline Price ; Treasurer, Loura Kelly. The Freshman-Senior Party, which was held on November 9, was a huge success. The enter- tainment was held in the High School Hall. Afterwards dancing was enjoyed until a bit af- ter five in the bovs ' gym. We all had heaps of fun! A junior and senior debating team has been organized by Mr. Martin, aided by Mr. Jones. The officers elected are as follows: President, REFLECTOR ...22... Gilman Furnald ; Vice-President, James Per- kins ; Secretary, Jeanne Lockhart. The meetings will be held every Tuesday in Room 207. Any junior or senior who wishes to join may visit any meeting and give his or her name to the secretary. We have had several pep meetings during the term which proved most enthusiastic. Something quite different was introduced to the fans of Weymouth. The boys of the trade school printed a Football Bulletin which was sold at the Weymouth-Hingham game Novem- ber 29. These booklets proved to be extremely popular. We all hope that an edition similiar to this will continue to be published in years to come on Thanksgiving. The pupils are anxiously waiting for the var- sity dances to get under way. Last year we had grand times. Examinations have been completed and every- body is prepared for a nice long vacation. Be- fore I close, Ric, I want to tell you that we all wish you the Merriest Christmas you ever had. Please write to me during vacation. Much love, Rack. D. Baker ' 35 W eymoutk Lose Star Lineman Donald Foskett, a senior in Room 216 and first Vice-President of the Senior Class, last night turned in his football uniform because of doctor ' s orders. Fish , as he is known to his friends, is the last member of the Foskett fam- ily to attend Weymouth High. His brothers, Cliff, Norman, and Paul, made football history while they attended Weymouth High. Cliff later starred at Massachusetts State ; Norman is now making a name for himself at Colorado School of Mines, while Paul is a member of the freshman team at Yale. Fish for the last three years has been the mainstay of Weymouth High ' s line. His per- formance this year until the Abington game, in which he injured his knee, has been wonderful. The doctor, upon examining his knee, found that Fish had developed what is known as water on the knee. If Fish had continued to play, he would have developed a stiff knee, and would have probably been a cripple for the rest of his life. The team misses Fish , and is rooting one hundred per cent for his speedy re- covery. G. Hunt ' 35 Non, je t ' ai dit que tu ne l ' epouseras pas. Madame Frazier etait certainement fachee. Mais, maman, c ' est un grand medecin. Ce sera un honneur a l ' epouser, Jeanne s ' ecria. Va tout de suite et occupe-toi de ton frere. Jacques se couchait sur le lit, tres faible. II regarda sa soeur quand elle est entree ; mais trop faible a parler il souriait. II est plus malade. Nous devons faire venir le plus grand medecin, Jeanne ragarda son frere et vit qu ' il souffrait. Maman, plait-il, permets que j ' appelle Frederic. II saura ce qui derange Jacques. Jamais. C ' est impossible. Si Jacques mour- ait, je n ' appellerais jamais Frederic, et avec cela Madame Frazier sortit. Bienque beaucoup de medecins soient arrives, Jacques n ' etait pas gueri. Un matin en dejeunant Madame Frazier vit dans le journal que Frederic avait regu le premier prix et etait considere un grand medecin. Elle ne voulait pas encore que sa fille 1 ' epouse mais elle voulait le faire venir pour voir Jacques. Ainsi elle fit l ' envoyer sans que Jeanne le sut. Quand Frederic arriva, sans dire un mot a Madame Frazier, il entra dans la chambre de Jacques. Mais quand il sortit, il dit a Madame Frazier. Oh vous etes aussi belle que Jeanne m ' a dit. Elle m ' a dit aussi que vous etes agreable et que vous avez consenti a notre mariage. Quelle bonne belle-mere vous serez. Madame Frazier devint contente de cela mais elle pensait a Jacques et dit, Si vous guerissez Jacques, vous pourrez epouser ma fille. Jacques alia beaucoup mieux la semaine pro- chaine et Jeanne et Frederic se marierent. Un jour Jacques leur dit comment il allait mieux sitot. II dit qu ' il avait connu Frederic et il l ' avait aime. Ainsi il avait pretendu etre tres malade jusqu ' a ce que Frederic l ' ait gueri. Pourtant Madame Frazier n ' a pas su cela et tout etait bien. Madelyn Wilson ' 35 REFLECTOR . . . 23 . . . HINGHAM HIGH SCHOOL REFLECTOR ...24... George Frederick Handel Now in the season of the Nativity it is only fitting to pay tribute to the greatest of all com- posers of sacred music, George Frederick Han- del. Although he was born in Germany, he reached his greatest heights in England. His Messiah is the finest oratorio of its type ever written. Handel was born at Halle in Saxony in the year 1685. The child took an early interest in music. His father, a valet to the elector of Sax- ony, heartily opposed him, and it was necessary for him to play upon a little spinet smuggled into the attic. At the age of eight he accompanied his father on a visit to the royal court. Here his musical ability attracted the attention of the duke, who urged his father to foster this talent. For the next seventeen years his was a ma- turing genius. During this time he rose from organist to an orchestra player in a German opera, and thence to the conductorship. Late in the year 1710 Handel came to Eng- land. Here he produced the opera Rinaldo, which met with approval at the Haymarket Theatre in London. At the end of the operatic season he returned to Germany for a brief period, but went again to England in 1712. Here he met with discouragement. His operatic venture failed, and he made many enemies. In those days music was dependent upon the wealthy for its support. Handel failed to submit to the whims and fancies of the aristocracy ; consequent- ly he was not in their favor. His misfortunes in the operatic field finally caused him to turn to writing oratorios. In these he now showed the maturity of his genius. In 1738 he produced his first great oratorio, Israel in Egypt, which was followed by the Messiah, his greatest musical effort. This im- mortal work was written in twenty-four days. It was first performed in Dublin on April 18, 1742. His energy was tireless. He was un- daunted even by blindness during the last six years of his life, and worked almost to the day of his death, which occurred on April 14, 1759. Handel now lies with England ' s greatest literary men, in Westminster Abbev. Harry Coleman ' 36 Lawyer: Yes, my friends, usually my audi- ences are glued to their seats.

At the conclusion of a successful year, the members of the Reflector staff wish to thank all those, teachers and pupils, who have so will- ingly contributed their earnest co-operation. We have worked hard and have, we believe, suc- ceeded in achieving the goal for which we set out last September — that of maintaining the high standard which has always characterized the Reflector. It has not, however, been all work. Mem- bers of the staff have attended meetings of the Southeastern League of School Publications at Milton, Norwood, Bridgewater, and Stoughton. These League meetings effectively combine val- uable instruction with equally valuable social contacts and enjoyment. We are eagerly await- ing the announcement of the winners in the League contest, in which the Reflector has for the past few years received high ratings. L nique in the history of the Reflector was the opportunity extended by Mr. Paul New- some, managing editor of the Weymouth Ga- zette. During the week of April 9, the Gazette office was taken over by the members of the Reflector staff, who gathered, wrote, and edited the news of the town. This experience was the source of much useful, first-hand information, as well as genuine fun, undimmed by the fact that the paper went on sale Friday, the thirteenth. To next year ' s staff we wish the best of luck. May they carry on to bigger and better things. — The Editor The Reflector is published by students of Weymouth High School, Wevmouth, Massachusetts.

To you, mothers and fathers, who, through your interest and unseliishness have enabled us to enjoy this wonderful training and have urged us on in our moments of despair, we extend our warmest greetings. To you, Superintendent of Schools and School Committee, who provided for us these educa- tional opportunities, we are deeply indebted. To you, our teachers and advisers, who, through your patience and perseverance, have made it possible for us to use these facilities to our best advantage, we express our sincere ap- preciation. Let us consider, on this eventful day in our lives, a current topic of tremendous importance and vital interest— THE NEW DEAL. We are not, however, going to discuss it from the political point of view; we are not going to lay it bare for a controversial discussion; we are not goinsz to pass judgment on what is good or bad about it. Let us examine merely what has been done during the critical period through which we are still passing. The condition which now exists in the United States, and in other countries also, is really nothing new. We have had panics or depres- sions, so called, before. It is agreed, however, that this last depression has been much worse than the others preceding it. Generally speaking, all panics arise from more or less the same causes; namely, overproduction, overspeculation, and the aftermath of a war. History shows that our American people have weathered the storms of previous panics, and have returned to normalcy much more quickly, because always in the past there has been a fron- tier, a land of opportunity, to which the restless, the discontented, and discouraged could cro and begin life anew. The day of the frontier has passed, and, no longer having this outlet to di- vert us or absorb our energies in critical times, we have to accept the fact that a slow, but grad- ual, change is coming over American life. Now we must face our problems, no longer having an escape to the West. THE NEW DEAL, as inaugurated by Pres- ident Franklin D. Roosevelt, is no original idea. Page Ten We hear of municipal reform even in Julius Ca?sar ' s time. Like Roosevelt, Caesar set out to give the Romans a NEW DEAL. He was dem- ocratic, a great popular leader; and, instead of overthrowing the established constitution, he tried to perpetuate it. He s tarted to drain the Pontine Marshes. This could be called a Roman Civilian Conservation Corps. He reduced in- terest rates, and made the bankers behave them- selves. He established an N. R. A. system which decreed that one-third of all the laborers on the great Roman ranches should be free citizens (slave labor being the ancient equivalent of ma- chinery). After the death of Caesar his NEW DEAL passed into oblivion. A more recent example than that of Ca?sar, and one that is linked more closely to our own times is that of the Square Deal as put into effect by no other than Theodore Roosevelt. One of his first actions was against the trusts. He said he would not prosecute these trusts if the law was obeyed. He was not opposed to big business as such, for he realized that concentra- tion in industry was a natural and inevitable form of the development of our resources. Nev- ertheless, he wanted the captains of industry to conduct their affairs in a way which would be honorable and to the best interests of the people. This Roosevelt had the interests of the people at heart, as is shown also by his conservation policy and the Hepburn Act, which extended the power of the Interstate Commerce Commission. Another Roosevelt is now at the helm, doing his best for his countrymen. When he came into office, conditions were at a low ebb. The countrv needed to try new experiments because the old remedy, namely, reverting to the frontier, could no longer be used to cure our new ills. We had to get started on a working plan, and Franklin Roosevelt appeared with a ready solution. One of the plans was the Agricultural Ad- justment Administration, commonly known as the A. A. A. L T nder the plans of this associa- tion the farmers were to decrease their produc- tion in order to make commodities more scarce, and thereby increase the price. In this way the farmers would receive just as much money for a smaller as for a larger output. This increase would not come suddenlv, but gradually, and the farmer would probably lose money at first. Because of this, the association agreed to pa to those farmers who would decrease their crops the amount thev would lose. This the farmers were to spend on farm implements, and cause the heavv industries to start rolling, thus creat- ing work. Work was the goal for which we were striving at this time. The results of the rise in prices of agricultural products were slow in being felt, because the overproduction in wheat last year was so great that there was still eno ugh wheat left over to feed the world for a year. This situation has caused the price of wheat to drop, and along with it, the price of other farm products. Another department aiding the farmers was the Farm Credit Administration, or the F. C. A. The purpose of this department was to unify the activities of the various government loan agencies created to help farmers who have been struggling against twelve years of decreasing prices, consequently lowering the value of their land. Through the F. C. A. the government tried to help those farmers who have heavily mortgaged farms to finance the planting and harvesting of new crops. It also advanced loans to co-operatives, so that the farmers might have more advantages in marketing their products and obtaining the best prices possible. Further to aid prosperity, the government ap- propriated $3,300,000,000 for construction and building. This sum was divided among many organizations. To the Farm Credit Adminis- tration $100,000,000 was allotted; for roads in national forests and public lands $50,000,000; for subsistence homesteads $25,000,000; for highway construction $400,000,000. These grants made it possible to start work immedi- ately, and many were tided over the winter. All these allotments were given under the su- pervision of the Reconstruction Finance Corpo- ration, or R. F. C. This organization provides emergency financing facilities for financial insti- tutions to aid in providing capital for agricul- ture, commerce, and industry. This agency was created under the previous administration in order to supply government credit to take the place of the vanishing supply of public credit. Since March 1933 its responsibilities for loans to aid public works have been transferred to the Public Works Administration. The Public Works Administration, or P. W. A., was established to create immediate employ- ment and give buying power to the people. The idea of pouring this money into circulation was to make business feel the impulse and start rolling. One of the largest allotments went to the Civil Works Association, or C. W. A. The pri- mary purpose was to give work to the unem- ployed. In about a week one could see many men at work in various occupations. This was only a temporary relief measure, but it helped out at the crucial moment. Because local com- munities were not financing as much as had been expected, and because there were so many skilled laborers out of work, $200,000,000 of the $400,000,000 allotted for this purpose was spent in the first month. A drastic change was necessary to keep men employed. Consequently, wages and hours were cut to extend the employment over a longer pe- riod of time. Another department which comes under the R. F. C. is the Civilian ' s Conservation Corps, or the C. C. C. This was a novel experiment, because the government had never before gone so far as to aid the youth of 18 to 21, who would otherwise have nothing to do. Healthful outdoor work was provided for young men, most of whose pay was to go to their needy families. They have cleared away brush, provided tree and plant disease control, planted trees on manv thousands of acres, and have constructed truck trails in the forests, telephone lines, and look- out towers. The National Recovery Act, or N. R. A., one of the main organizations, was designed to con- trol business. Hours of the regular help were decreased so that work might be given to more people. Cut-throat competition and child labor were wiped out. This was done to raise the standard of living. When the department began to issue codes, great confusion ensued. Soon small concerns were complaining that they could not compete with the larger companies, and if forced to keep within the code, they would soon go into bank- ruptcy. Finally, this was adjusted as well as possible. Lately, we have been hearing criticisms of the N. R. A. It is not our province to criticize the workings of this plan. It was put into effect as an experiment. Something had to be tried. We are just on the threshold of a new life. The prospect today may seem discouraging, but it is not entirely hopeless. We must learn to face the facts, because the prosperity of the fu- ture will ultimately rest in our hands. Condi- tions are changing. There may be many times in our lives when we shall have to use a New Deal to solve our difficulties. To quote a noted historian, James Truslowe Adams: If the American dream is to come true and abide with us, it will, at bottom, depend on the people themselves. If we are to make the dream come true, we must all work together, no longer to build bigger, but to build better. Ours is the whole majestic past, as ours is also the shining future. Page Eleven Tke Science of Life Sylvia Fl Merrill To-day we are living in a world of science. Machines have taken the place of slower meth- ods of accomplishing our tasks, to such an extent that we are confounded and diverted by the me- chanical chaos about us. A glance at the des- perate hurry of the cars on the busy street corner makes one wonder what there is in life of such immediate consequence. Our problem is, how- ever, not to slow down the pace set for us ; but so to adapt our speed of thinking to these hectic conditions that we may ably carry on our lives as to our standards of patience, power, and progress. But what is that for which we are so ener- getically striving? Is it personal knowledge, leisure, prosperity, perfection, or are our ambi- tions primarily for the good of others? It is all these things, and even more. It is happiness, not selfish pleasure-seeking, but a feeling of well- being and a love of life and of our fellow men. We should aim to enrich our lives first, for they are our very own responsibility; but we should also try to help others, for in doing so we benefit ourselves too. During the evolution of mankind there have been four distinct methods of solving our prob- lems. The first was that of trial and error. If one solution did not fit, another was tried, and so on, until the correct one was found, when perhaps it was too late, in some instances. There was nothing definite or methodical about this way ; so, needless to say, it could by no means be in harmony with our life of today. The second age was that of philosophy, wherein there were a few large schools headed by philosophers, the best known of whom were Plato and Aristotle. All theological, moral, and scientific questions were theorized by these scholars, whom everyone revered, and whose principles were regarded as arbitrary and final. These schools were one of the greatest detri- ments that the development of science ever had, because ideas were not founded upon experi- mental facts. If the philosophers maintained that a certain thing was true, it had to be re- garded as true, and anyone daring to contradict it was ostracized. This age declined when Page Fourteen thinkers like Galileo arrived, and began to dis- prove by actual experiments the fundamental principles of the philosophers. The third period, the age of science, in which we live to-day, has just begun. There is a ne- cessity in all vocations for rapid and accurate thinking; for no matter where we are or what we are doing, occasions arise where we must make swift decisions, both in thinking and acting. In these days science is one of the best prep- arations for learning how to solve our difficul- ties. For science is, in the wider sense, an ob- jective study of the facts of nature. It uses any and all hypotheses which may assist in correlat- ing these facts. These hypotheses have had vary- ing degrees of success in making such correla- tions, but science never commits itself as a mat- ter of faith to any of them. When it does so, it ceases to be science. It is an exceedingly wholesome thing to work, at sometime in one ' s life, in a field in which the distinction between right and wrong, between loose and correct t (linking, cannot be obliterated or escaped; to learn that there are eternal physical laws, and presumably also eternal aesthetic, moral and social laws in conformity with which one must proceed if he is to arrive at correct results. In all our present day activity it is important, even essential for our success and happiness, that we adopt a scientific attitude toward what we do. Scientific problems are like our own diffi- culties in life, and the manner of their solution is similar. In order to solve our problems, we must have first of all a complete understanding of their de- tails. We must be able to comprehend the situ- ation and look at it impartially from all angles. Respect for the opinion of others, especially those who are older and wiser, and have had more ex- perience with life ' s difficulties, and willingness to look at the problem from their point of view, also, ought to be cultivated. Experience is prof- itable only if we try to realize wherein we have erred and in what way we had best attempt the solution next time. The problem should be met squarely, not with evasive excuses to cover our faults, but with willingness to admit our failures and overcome our weaknesses. We should strive to gain not only by our personal experiences, but also by those of others. Our judgment should not be hampered by personal or social prejudice, but strengthened by moral conviction carefully formed after grave consideration. After meditating seriously upon the aspects of the problem, we shall of necessity arrive at some conclusion. If we have pondered the situation without bias or prejudice, and in justice to our- selves, this solution will be a conviction. It should be defended until shown to be erroneous, although we must be broadminded and willing to change our opinion upon the evidence of new facts clearly proven true. We should ascertain to our own complete satisfaction that the answer is logical, and, if expressed, done so in such a way that it conveys the exact meaning that we intend. The fourth division is closely allied with, and in reality a part of, the third period. It is a psychological trend of thought growing out of the age of science through which we have been passing for the last century and a half. The conception that has begun to develop in the last five years is that since all our life is hurried, and such quick decisions must be made every day, in all walks of life, we cannot run any risk of using untried, slipshod methods, but we must be abso- lutely sure of all decisions which we make. Ideas concerning education are developing along psy- chological lines. As an example, education in the broader sense has come to mean more than a mere teaching of facts ; it is becoming a teaching of where to find them and how to assimilate them, and to think and appreciate the values of life in the fullest degree. Only in this way mav we obtain the joy and peace of mind for which we are seeking. No matter in what walks of life we find our- selves, happiness is open to us. In the arts and sciences we may find it, for there can be none anywhere without a true appreciation of the beautiful. Music is one of the chief sources of pleasure to all people, whether this fact is recog- nized or not. Anv expression of thought to be pleasing is bv music, whether in poetry, which is rhvthmic verse, in speaking, with expression and soft accent, or in actual musical tones. _ Suppose we should remove all music from our lives for a few davs. That would mean no instrumental or vocal music, directlv in our homes or at con- certs or on the radio ; there would be no rhythm in sDeech, and peonle would speak without in- flection. Instead of the tinkling rhvthm of run- ning water and the drowsv hum of the bees, we should bave stilted sounds, with not even the squeak of a chair to relieve the monotony. It is safe to assume that before even one day of this was over, one ' s mental peace would be seriouslv endangered. Since it is basically needed, we misfit well consider its value as a science. For, indeed, music is a science just as much as phvsics, chemistry, and mathematics, though of a different tvpe. In the first place it is written logically, with basic reasons for its accent, in- flection, and style. In the same way our lives must be fashioned along a well-ordered plan, and not be a careless pot-pourri of sensual ap- peals without continuity. A pleasing piece of music is a joy not only to the writer, but to all who hear it, if they sym- pathize with the ideas and ideals of the com- poser. If we live as best we know how, our lives will be the expression of our thoughts and motives, and as such will influence the well-be- ing of those around us. If we live rich lives, they will reflect in the happiness of others with whom we may come in contact, and thus will help us to lead a happier existence. Mothers and fathers, words cannot express our appreciation of, and gratitude for, the in- spiration and loving guidance we owe to you. May we try to prove ourselves worthy of your trust and show you that we are proud of being your sons and daughters. Mr. Pearson and members of the School Committee, we owe to you our deepest gratitude for the twelve happy and profitable years we have spent under your supervision. Mr. Hilton and teachers, to you we owe years of pleasant companionship and guidance, not only in the development of our minds, but also in the unfolding of our characters. Please accept this inadequate expression of the sincere appre- ciation that we feel in our hearts. Classmates, we are leaving the protection of these walls where we have happilv spent four vears of work and play together. Our lives are beginning to be more individual, and new cares and responsi bilities rest upon our shoulders. To us belongs life in all its fullness and power. Let us, then, as we bend every endeavor to- ward our goal of happiness, strive to make the very best of all that we have, shoulder our re- sponsibilities manfullv. and perform our duties cheerfully and willingly. May our aim ever be that the world shall, at some time, be a richer place because we have lived. To A Red Tulip Your beautv is too rare to go unsung; So in poor words I try to catch your loveliness, While you your flaming petals raise the dewy leaves among, And bring to me a strange great happiness. M. Bloxham ' 36 Page Fifteen HISTORY And then, the annual operetta. This time it was Sonia . The costumes were stunning, the humor contagious, the music excellent. Need we say more? So ends the history of the freshmen, but wait — they have yet to become breezy sophomores, complacent juniors, and sophisticated seniors. Sopk omore Y ear Freshman Y ear On September 8, 1930 we, the Class of ' 34, entered the portals of the Weymouth High School to start on our noteworthy, if not epic- making, career. For the most part we were in high spirits, for weren ' t there four glorious years ahead of us? Before the school year had progressed very far, we had our first assembly. (We ' ve forgot- ten why). Passing note : Among those conspic- uously present was that peculiar species of stu- dent termed freshmen. In November we received the first real sign of recognition from that austere body of wise ones, the seniors. A party was given by them in our honor. The winter saw the introduction of a new coaching system under Air. Fred Kennedy. Added impetus was given to athletics, and Wey- mouth looked forward to a brilliant athletic fu- ture. Of course, we freshmen — male freshmen, that is — were well represented. The year ' 30- ' 31 also marked the second an- niversary of that very famous Choral Society of ours, the Glee Club. And since freshmen, like other people, have voices, a goodly number of those toddlers were sprinkled in the club. As we entered our sophomore year, we expe- rienced new thrills, especially the thrill of ini- tiating the newcomers to the school. The new lunchroom was now complete, and we had to spend the first few days down at lunch to make ourselves acquainted with the surround- ings. It was easy to see that the building cost $15,000. Under the supervision of Air. Whittle, the Student Government was organized. A decided improvement was noted in the corridors and lunch room. Everyone seemed to take great interest in obeying officers of this Council. On October 21 the South Shore League of School Publications was entertained by the Wevmouth High School. This was the first meeting of the year 1932. In this same month, Dr. Wakefield gave us a talk on the tuberculosis germ. Soon afterward the Chadwick Clinic was held, and a large por- tion of the Senior and Junior High Schools sub- mitted to the test. At last our Christmas Vacation came and went. We were back to the drudgery again. Those taking parts, both principals and chorus, were now rehearsing the annual operetta, The Gypsy Rover . Mr. Monroe and Mrs. Mc- Grath directed the production. On February 5 and 6 the musical play was presented to a large audience. During the next few weeks the Varsity Club sponsored a few afternoon dances for the benefit of the athletic fund. On April 15 The Ladies of the Jury was presented by the Weymouth Teachers ' Associa- tion. The first annual Field Day was held at Legion Field, May 25, 1932. Both the girls ' and boys ' exhibition showed a great deal of prac- tice and work in preparation. On June 10 we attended the Senior Plav, Enter Madam . The play was very successful. At last, the end of the term came. Tomorrow begins our vacation; then the junior year, a climb still farther up the ladder. Pane Seventeen J unior Y ear In the fall of 1932 we entered our junior year with a feeling of superiority, for we were now definitely upper classm en. On January 6 we began our school activi- ties by electing a nominating committee, under the direction of Mr. O ' Donnell. This commit- tee submitted names for the election of class of- ficers. The class elected the following: William Donovan, President; Eugene Marceau, Vice- President ; Felix Caracciolo, Second Vice-Presi- dent ; Evelyn Donovan, Secretary ; and Eleanor Madigan, Treasurer. On March 18 the three upper classes attended a glass-blowing exhibition given by Mr. H. Kingman in the auditorium. The next class meeting was held on March 31, 1933. Green and silver were chosen as the class colors. It was also voted that three dollars be paid for class dues. The ring committee, under Rita. Murphy, chairman, exhibited various class rings, and from those one was chosen. The last meeting was held on May 24, and suggestions for selecting a class outing commit- tee and also a committee to decorate the gym- nasium for the graduation were submitted. Later each junior homeroom elected delegates for these committees. The class party was held May 29, in the girls ' gvmnasium. There was dancing to the music of the Bay Staters , and the following enter- tainment was given: a vocal solo by Elizabeth Houston ; a xylophone solo by Wesley Holbrook ; a presentation of negro spirituals by Robert Park ' s quartet ; a vocal solo by Edward Butler ; an impersonation of Bing Crosby by Joseph O ' Connor; and a vocal solo by Stephen Pratt. Refreshments were served and dancing was con- tinued until eleven o ' clock. The junior year was successfully completed by an outing to Provincetown. Senior Year In the next fall, when school opened, we con- gratulated ourselves on two extra days of vaca- tion ; but we were unpleasantly surprised to find that our books were already in our desks and classes were to begin at once. This did not af- fect us greatly, however, for we were seniors now, and too busy letting people know about it to pay any attention to such trifles. We all worked diligently at our studies through the first term, taking time out only to elect Reino Laine our class marshal, and to en- tertain the freshmen, a duty enjoyed by us pat- ronizing and magnanimous seniors. Soon, however, we began to have some enter- tainment of our own which started with our Senior Dance. We decided to have a costume party and were very much pleased at the results. Everyone had a wonderful time and much orig- inality was shown in the costumes. Following the party, we had our Senior Prom. To uphold our reputation as brave and daunt- less seniors, we decided to give it on Friday, April 13. We were duped, however, for the car in which the orchestra was coming had a puncture and it was over an hour late. After the musicians arrived we all had a good time. Before the prom, we ran our last operetta as students of Weymouth High School. It was called South in Sonora and was a great success. Here we are graduating, and although it is satisfying to have completed our four years ' work, we are somewhat reluctant to leave the school, where we have had so many good times, and made so many loyal friends. R eminiscing Upon this world, and day by day, The present cannot last, And [, with mortal insolence, Relive my dying past. Beloved faces live with me, Old voices part the air; The touches that I loved so well Retouch my lips and hair. And all the love that once I knew — That love will leave me never, Nor living soul from living soul The present can dissever. O friend of mine, while you look up, While you look to the new, My old acquaintances and loves Surround me in review. If I should talk but of the past. Forever reminisce , Be patient, try to understand, That I but live for this. Carol Seach ' 35 Page Eighteen Assemble around, all ye pupils of Weymouth High School, and we the prophets of the Class of 1934 will try to predict what your future will be. As we had no idea when we entered this school that we should be called upon to write the prophecies of our classmates, we did not take any courses in astrology, palm reading, or crystal gazing. If we should wrongly interpret what these virtuous lives of yours will turn out to be, we hope that you will not be offended, for we are only amateurs and as yet have had no expe- rience in the art of predicting.

The opening scene is a fiesta at the Gomez Rancho in honor of the President, whose birth- da} it is. A group of American mining engineers and six college boys are among the guests. Dan, one of the engineers, and Teddy and Alfred, two of the college boys, have fallen in love with the three youngest daughters of Don Ricardo. Dan, proposing to Paquita, learns that his love is returned, but that Paquita and her twin sis- ters Lalita and Rosita are under orders from their father to say ' No to all proposals of mar- riage until Catalina, an older sister, is wed. Teddy and Alfred, learning of this order, pro- pose to the twins in song in such a fashion that by saving No to their questions the girls con- vey a Yes to their proposal. Paquita declares that being engaged means nothing, for Catalina will never marry. Rosita conceives the idea of hiring a bandit general who is camping near to come to the house and marry Catalina in her father ' s presence. Despite the objections of Dan and Paquita, the twins and their lovers put this plan into execution. The bandit general cap- tures the household as arranged, but, upon seeing the lovely Paquita, insists on marrying her in- stead of Catalina! Rosita persuades the general that Paquita should be properly dressed to wed so great a personage and asks that Catalina and she be allowed to attend to this. Catalina, hav- ing fallen in love with the general at sight, ob- jects and begs the general to take her, but the general sternly orders her to help Paquita dress A priest is summoned and while waiting for the bride, the general orders the musical programme to continue. The- priest arrives. The bride, beautifully gowned and veiled, appears with Rosita, who excuses Catalina ' s non-appearance on the plea of illness. The general, about to kiss the bride, is warned by Rosita to be careful of the priceless Gomez wedding veil. The priest performs the wedding ceremony and the general, whose cupidity has been aroused by the valuable wedding veil, insists that his bride wear it as they depart. After they are gone, Paquita ap- pears and it is revealed that Catalina is the gen- eral ' s bride. Two months pass, and in Act II Paquita is bemoaning the fact that Catalina has not been heard from. A new President has been elected and a messenger brings the news that he desires to be entertained at the Ricardo Gomez Rancho. Meanwhile, Don Ricardo learns of the twins ' plotting with the bandit to marry Catalina and he resolves to send them to a convent. In order to keep the twins out of their father ' s way until his anger cools, Teddy and Alfred take them to an aunt in Mexico City. Don Ricardo consents to Dan ' s marrying Paquita, but she refuses to do so until she knows Catalina is safe. In Act III the twins, travelling in the Presi- dential party, rush into the home living-room ahead of the rest of the party and are met by Don Ricardo, who seizes them and is in the act of sending them to the convent when Catalina appears. She introduces the bandit general and her husband as the new President of Mexico. Both are much in love, and the general is so grateful to Rosita for saving him from marryini: the wrong irirl that he intercedes for the twins with Don Ricardo, who forgives them, and all ends happily.

They were engaged separately to sing on the programs of various organizations in Weymouth and adjacent towns. The greatest event of the year took place when they both journeyed to Melrose to parti- cipate in the Music Festival held there annually. There were over four thousand students com- peting in chorus work, orchestra, and band. Weymouth received excellent grades in the for- mer from the judges, all well-known musicians in New England. The contest numbers sung by W r eymouth were the Night Song, ' ' by Clokey; Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones , a 17th Century German melody; and The Waterboy . Those in the Glee Clubs feel that they have benefited considerably in regard to the knowl- edge of music by being a part of the choruses. Not only did they find entertainment, but also received ideas about good music and how to ap- preciate it. Eleanor Alad ' ujan ' 34 Le Cercle F rancais The French Club in W. H. S. has proved successful this year under the direction of Miss Canning. At the first meeting the following officers were chosen: Rita Murphy, president; Catherine Gunville, vice-president ; Josephine Lindsay, secretary; and Beryl Gray, treasurer. A different chairman is selected to plan the pro- gramme for each meeting with the aid of a small committee. After all the business is dis- cussed the rest of the afternoon is spent in some sort of entertainment. This usually consists of games, songs, short dialogues, or stories from the lives of celebrated French people. It is, perhaps, unnecessary to say that all conversation is car- ried on in French. The purpose for this is, of course, to increase one ' s vocabulary and to en- able the student to speak the language more easily. There was one open session held this year in the high school hall to which members of the Sophomore class who would be eligible for mem- bership next year were invited. Each member had the privilege of inviting one guest. An in- teresting programme was planned by Enez Mel- kon which consisted of chorus songs by the mem- bers, a resume of French Club activities by Dor- othy Vestburg, and French songs by Eleanor Madigan. Then, too, a group of the members with Miss Canning and Miss Cote visited the Fine Arts Theatre in Boston where they saw the moving picture Poil de Carotte. Judging by current rumors, all enjoyed themselves immensely. Now, French students, why don ' t you join the French Club at the first meeting next year? All who have an average of more than 85% are eligible, and I ' m sure you can all make some effort. Also I think I am safe in saying that the few hours you spend at the meetings will not be considered dull, stupid, or heavy, but, on the contrary, you will find them bright and unique. Is the membership in ' 35 going to break the record or not? It ' s all up to you ! Eleanor Mad ' iqan ' 34 1 ypewriting Awards MAY Sohopmores Barbara C. Pratt, 24 words a minute, 5 errors. Frances B.

This quintet, accompanied by Frank Pagington, who played the banjo, sang popular songs. The manner in which two of our seniors, Franklin Loud and Elwin Tirrell, interpreted leading parts in the Operetta, South in So- nora, brought honor to the school and to them- selves. In the Senior Play, The Bat , a mys- tery play by Alary Roberts Rinehart and Avery Hopwood, the part of Billy was ably portrayed by a Vocational School student, Elwin Tirrell.

Bright Spots of The Trade Groups AUTOMOBILE. On the twenty-fifth of January a group of fifty students, accompanied by Mr. Bacon and Mr. Bryan, left by bus at nine o ' clock to visit the Automobile Show. A day could not have been spent in a more educa- tional and enjoyable way. CABINETMAKERS. On the third of May the senior cabinetmakers left the shop, which has some fine machinery, to visit the Worcester Trade School, which is more extensivelv equipped. The boys were very much interested in the way in which the Worcester Trade boys went about their work. Mr. Sherwood, instruc- tor in the cabinetmaking shop, provided the ways and means for a d ay of value to all. PRINTERS. By the use of private cars, and by the good work of Mr. Duncan, instruc- 5V C tor in the printing shop, the printers were able to attend the Tileston and Hollingsworth Cal- endar Review, presented annually by the Boston Club of Printing House Craftsmen and given at the Chamber of Commerce Building. On the fifth of April, a day every printer looked forward to, both from an educational standpoint and that of mere pleasure, Mr. Dun- can, accompanied by Mr. Whipple, Director of the Vocational School, and thirty-five students, including several Reflector staff officers, trav- elled by bus to Norwood, where a grand day was spent looking over the George H. Morrill Ink Works and the Norwood Press. During the April vacation an afternoon was spent in the Harbor Building on Atlantic Ave- nue in Boston. During the greater part of the afternoon the stude nts visited the Ludlow Typo- graph Company, situated on the ninth floor. This company originated a highly successful system for producing display composition by machine. Here, with the instructor of a salesman, all the printers learned to run a typecasting machine. The remainder of the afternoon was spent at the Folsom Photoengraving Company on the eighth floor. Here, the instructors showed the printers the art of photo-engraving from begin- ning to end. A successful dav ended late that afternoon. Elwin Tirrell ' 34 pamsn CI 11 D The Spanish Club has spent many delightful hours at its meetings under the direction of Miss Tefts. All who attend these meetings are obliged to speak in Spanish at the business session as well as afterwards. This year Miss Tefts gave illus- trated lectures of the West Indies, and Central and South America. This afforded instruction for the students as well as entertainment. Games and songs were also enjoyed by the members. The officers of the club are: oresident. John Hall; vice-president. Theresa Stagliola: secre- tary and treasurer. Earle Thomas : chairman of entertainment, Ralnh Brown. If anv Spanish student wishes to have a good, vet instructive, time it would be a fine nlan to join the Spanish Club. Eleanor Madigan ' 34 P. O.

Page Sixty-fiv? Page Sixty-six 4-H Club V arsity Club The 4-H Clubs have had a most enjoyable and prosperous year under the guidance of Miss Brassill and the various club leaders. Many different projects have been successfully com- pleted. The Weynorcomas Club, which is a combi- nation of all the clubs and the Aggie boys, was again established. Kenneth MacLeod was elected president; Russell Delano, vice presi- dent; and Eleanor Pike, secretary-treasurer. The annual fall fair was held in October at the Hunt school. As usual, this was the big affair of the season. It is certainly surprising to see what the boys and girls of Weymouth High do with their spare moments. Despite an extremely cold spell in January, about thirty-five members went to visit a West- wood club. Games, refreshments (ask Rubv about these), and a general good time was had by all from both clubs. A great deal of art (or should I say childishness) was portrayed on the bus windows, but maybe it was the frost ' s fault. Another very interesting feature of the year was the radio program from station W4-HC (Of course you must understand it was from that famous stage in W. H. S.). This excellent programme was under the direction of John Hall and Merick Price. The announcer, needless to say, as the whole programme was visible through glass screens, was Carl Hanson. All the talent was secured from the various clubs. As all 4-H times are enjoyable, this w T as no exception. The Westwood Club visited Weymouth at a Sunlight Dance, held in the gym on a bright Saturday afternoon. The music was supplied by that now famous radio hook-up from station W4-HC. Refreshments were served at the close of the afternoon. Final exhibitions have been held, and many members received pins of achievement, thanks to Miss Brassill. M. Lamer ' 34 Air. Gherardi, physical education instructor, assisted Mr. Page in preparing a gym exhibition. Through his diligent work, an exhibition was presented in the Boys ' Gym on Friday, May 25. Parents were invited and they responded by a good attendance. 1 he Varsity Club is composed of boys who have earned a letter in any major sport. The aim of this club is to promote an interest in athletics among the student body and to help build up the Scholarship Fund. The club accomplishes this by running Varsity dances. Parents are sometimes misled about the purpose of these dances. The school derives no benefit financially ; the money goes into the Scholarship Fund. The officers for 1933-34 are: President John Sullivan Vice President Robert Mulligan Treasurer Tony Cavallo Secretary Charles Taber Track North Quincy took a licking April 27 at Weymouth. The Weymouth team took almost all the first places. North Quincy did not have a seasoned team, since they have just started track. Braintree visited us at Weymouth May 1 1 and gave us a licking. Half our team did not compete because of injuries and failure in studies. We virtually gave Braintree nine points, because they did not bring any pole-vaulters. Our pole- vaulter, Garvey, made a great showing up at Durham. The Plymouth meet showed how our team could compete when it was all present. We beat Plymouth 19-17. Weymouth boys took many first places: Shot-put Laine 220 yd. dash Pratt 100 yd. dash Pratt Half mile Cadose Mile Zemina and Cadose Broad Jump Pratt Relay Race Pole-vault Sullivan and Garvey Atkleti ICS All of the boys who are physically fit in our school participate in some form of athletics. Mr. Page has laid out a programme, so that the boys who do not play on varsity squads can play on their class teams. The small remainder play touch football in place of tackling football dur- ing their gvm period. In the winter, time is taken to let them play basketball. In the spring the boys go over to the track and compete against each other in running and jumping. Throwing the light shot is also included. Page Sixty-seven .Lrave 1 cu This year in all the senior English classes taught by Miss Funk a Travel Club was formed. One day out of each week was set apart for short talks and discussions of our travels to for- eign lands. (Needless to say, they were imag- inary.) A different chairman prepared the pro- gramme for each and a secretary took notes on the various subjects and places talked about. Most of the travels were based on the stu- dents ' reading matter and on English literature. For example : When the classes were studying about England during the reign of Queen Eliz- abeth the topics were Elizabethan England , The Golden Age , The Good Queen Bess , et cetera. Another place that was favored by the pupils in their travels was Italy, not Italy as it is today but when Mr. and Mrs. Robert Browning lived there. These travels to Italy stimulated a great deal of interest, not only in the country itself but also in Browning ' s life and poetry. As a result of all this, each class has a Travel Club Book containing the best trip talked of at each meeting with pictures illustrating the points of interest. Juniors, if you would like to know one way to enjoy English classes, ask for a Travel Club. Eleanor Iliad iff an ' 34 C On Oprmg is doming There was a little brown bird on a little brown tree ; He was singing a gay little song to me. He sang: Days are cold, and nights are so long, But still I am gay, for the spring ' s coming on ! And I harked to the song of the little brown bird, And thrilled at the joy of the spring that I heard. He sang of the sun and the dew in the morn, Of the roses so gay in bright petal and thorn, He sang, and in dreams I could see them once more, The beauty and cheer of the summer before. Then he paused, and I stood in the chill winter dawn, But still I was gay, for the spring ' s coming on! M. Bloxham ' 36 Letter M en WRESTLING Fitzsimmons Bouchie Pecoraro Walker Stowell Tirrell, W.

Fi ht games were played, and these were divided evenly be- tween victories and losses. The team opened its season b playing Som- erville at Weymouth. It was a close game, but Somerville won by a score of 27-21. The next game was against the Alumni, who put up a good battle. The Trade School team was tlie better, however, and won by 29-16. Then Waltham sent her squad to Weymouth. After a stiff fight the) took home a victory, 26-1.?. Weymouth invaded Quincy, and carried off a victory, the score being 30-16. Weymouth, upon going to Somerville, could not beat her jinx team, and was defeated 21-15. Quincy, which came tiext, was all keyed up to take a victory, but the Weymouth team was too good for them, and won 24- IS. Weymouth then went to Waltham, and after a hard game lost 22-1 5. The last game was with the East Weymouth Congregational Church, but the could not stop the Trade School boys, who won 28-29. ' The Trade School team was coached verv successful In Mr. J. Nelson. The bovs who represented the ' Trade School were as follows: Nocera, Ruscetta, .McDonald, Donovan, Shecdy, McKenna, I ' linkman, Ilanhi- salo, Porter, McCan, Dewey, Keenan, Cameron and Tirrell. The services of Nocera, Fianhisalo, Donovan, and Tirrell will be lost to next year ' s quintet through graduation, and it will be hard to fill their places.

For the first time in the school ' s history, the team is completelj outfitted with uniforms and equipment. Twenty-four students answered the call for baseball candidates. Six of these boys were letter men last year, and these veterans should be a bier help in building a new team. Games have been scheduled with Newton ' Trade, Quincy Industrial and Somerville Voca- tional ; Newton has taken the place of Everett. We are pleased to welcome this new competitor, and we hope that Everett will be back with a team next vear. The squad is made up of the following play- ers: Ceadose, Cameron, Ferris, Jennings, Keenan, Kovalowsky, Laniewski, McCaw, Mc- Kenna, McDonald, Mcliride, Nocera, O ' Brien, Pagington, Porter, Rascetta, Sheehan, ' Tirrell, and Tuttle. The coaching of the team is being done by Messrs. Duncan, Sherwood and Whittemore. Babino is Manager w ith I ' linkman to assist him. A successful season is anticipated. W.

Who cares what caused the Revolution of 1917? I knew I w as a fool to tackle this course. It is as full of outside reading and research as — well, a pig is full of bristles. Yes, I ' d rather analyze the bristles on fifty pigs than ponder over one solitary chapter of this. No one could possibly realize that such thoughts were running through Pat Billing ' s mind. She was seated at one of the round tables in the college library. At the next table Neil Fisher was watching her, as he had been at this time every Wednesday morning since college had opened seven months ago. She seemed to him the veritable picture of the most attractive girl he had seen at school for the two years he had been there. To-day her black, curly hair was brushed back and up, her dark eyes were spark- ling, and her whole countenance was set in eager intentness on the book before her as if she could devour it with a vengeance. That was a pretty outfit she was wearing. Strange, he didn ' t usually notice girls ' clothes, but that rose sweater suit certainly was tricky. The second day Pat had arrived at college the previous fall, her best friend, Eleanor Powers, a popular junior, had introduced Pat to many of the instructors, including Charles Baylor. It was the introduction to Professor Bavlor that prompted her to enter his course in History on Modern Russia. She was not the only girl who had elected that course. It was a well-known fact that Baylor ' s classes were by far the best attended in the college curricula. One might add that nine-tenths of his pupils were girls. Certainly it wasn ' t the course that interested them, although the craving for knowledge on Russia grew in leaps and bounds. Oddly enough, almost all of his pupils realized that the only way to win favor from the professor was to ap- As Pat left her seat to search for a certain reference book on this most popular subject, Neil ' s eyes followed her every movement. After she had scanned the books on the Russian history pertaining to Russia. Hence Pat ' s determined measures of procuring all abounding material on the subject. pear to have a profound interest in everything reference shelf in vain, she uttered an inaudible Buttonhooks! and returned to her seat. At the close of the study hour, Neil, wishing to become acquainted with this seemingly effervescive young spitfire of a coed, offered her the use of his set of reference books. In the weeks that followed there were, of course, inexplainable times when it was necessary to return or reborrow the books. Indirectly, they would meet at the College Inn , partake of a banana royal , and chat for a few mo- ments, all on the excuse of borrowing or return- ing a book. A few weeks later no books were needed for excuses. They met regularly. There was one peculiar phase of Pat that Neil could not understand. He discussed it one morn- ing with his room-mate as they were trying, in man fashion, to make their beds. Norm, can you tell me why it is that all girls have to get some crazy notion of thinking one of their ' profs ' is the ' ideal man ' ? It ' s the bunk! Now, you take Pat — Yeah, interrupted Norm with a tone of sweet sarcasm, now tell me that you thought she was different, far too sensible, not one of the common mob who fell for a ' prof. Wake up, Man. they are all alike. This was the advice of Norm, the sophomore, who knew all the answers. Page Seventy-one No, that is where you are wrong, corrected Neil. You see, when we are together, sooner or later she talks about Russian History. It seems to be on her mind. She doesn ' t say so much about Baylor, but always gives some of his ideas or quotations. I believe she is sincerely interested in the subject, but, just the same, I wish she would leave him out of the conversa- tion entirely. This remark was terminated by a punch aimed at the middle of his pillow. If the seams had burst and the feathers had been scattered about the room, it would have appeased some of Neil ' s wrath. As the pillows were made to withstand such abuse, he drove one final punch into its soft interior and let it go at that. Well, said Norm, who, having finished re- storing his side of the room to some sort of order, was making his way towards the door in hopes that Neil would not notice his new soft hat and pigskin gloves miraculously concealed beneath Norm ' s top coat, I wouldn ' t worry my- self sick if I were you. Any girl who would go to an all afternoon lecture with Baylor would be off my list. Don ' t look so surprised. She is going to one with him this afternoon as a reward for her good work, I guess. Think it over. Toodle-ooo and a bit of cheerio, till noon! The door slammed behind him. Neil was left to his thoughts. In the speaker ' s hall Pat was seated beside professor Baylor apparently devouring every word and idea that the lecturer had to offer. She was happy that the professor had chosen her to accompany him to this lecture. Of course she had worked hard. All of the girls had, but Pat decided that, on her part, it had been worth the effort. Here she was beside him, filling a seat for which every other girl in the school had • longed. After the lecture he drove her to a quiet tea- room where they were able to talk undisturbed. He discussed the lecture and passed on his opin- ions to her. He talked to her as a person of intellectual equality. This pleased her most. She was comparatively smart but not the scholasti- cally intellectual type. She realized that, but this experience was new to her. He was a man much older than she, one of recognized impor- tance, and one who had received how many de- grees? What did it matter? He was interest- ing, wasn ' t he? What was that verse that kept going through her mind? Oh, yes! The pedigree of honey Does not concern the bee. A clover any time to him Is aristocracy. Strange that she should be thinking of that just then. He certainly was socially prominent, and she, just common ordinary. He had chosen her to accompany him. Probably he did not concern himself with pedigree either. What w as that he had just said about the New Rus- sia ? The simplest thing to do was to smile and agree. Her thoughts were interrupted by the music from the trio which played in the tea-room every afternoon. When the music had started, four couples, the only other occupants of the room at that time, had got up from their tables to dance on the tiny floor space given over to that purpose. Charles Baylor, noticing that Pat ' s attention was focussed on the dancers and not on his con- versation, said, I am sorry that I do not dance, Miss Hillings. When I was in college, the nor- mal time for a young man to learn to dance, I was more interested in research work than in dancing. I believe it to be a waste of time. Do you not share the same opinion? Pat ' s only reply was, Yes, I think it is, too. Little did he realize that her thoughts were in a vastly opposing mood to the docile way in w hich she answered him. Great guns! thought Pat. His English is beyond reproach. If he used one bit of slang, I believe it would prove fatal to him. He doesn ' t dance. A waste of time, is it ? Great Caesar ' s Ghost, the man isn ' t normal. What a book- worm he must have been w hen he was going to college. Look at him now. Can this be the first time I have seen him as he really is? In class he is so dominant, so — oh, so grand, and look at him now. 1 wonder if he ever talks or thinks of anything but history? I really believe that is all there is to him, simply a mechanical mind that speaks, thinks, and absorbs history. I am cured. At least, I know now that I prefer hu- man beings to professors. Will I ever get out of this place? Soon afterwards, Charles Baylor drove Pat Hillings to her dormitory. As she entered her room, an eager crowd of girls grouped about her. Well, what was he like? Isn ' t he wonderful? Page Sc venty-t u;o To these and to many more such questions Pat made the calm remark, He is extremely interesting . To herself she thought, Silly crea- tures, it they only knew how boresome he really was. Her friends could not understand her attitude of unconcern. They would sooner or later be- cause Pat had decided not to accept any more invitations from the professor. They would have their chances. She was sure they would welcome the opportunities, but wondered if they would be as disappointed in Baylor as she had been. The next day Neil Fisher invited Pat to go for a drive with him. He had been thinking about Norm ' s advice. To him it seemed best to bring up the subject of the professor and get it over with, once and for all. Neil was the type of young man that enjoyed talking straight from the shoulder. He disliked long, drawn- out misunderstandings that could so easily be made right by a few frank words. He did not wish Pat to think he was interfering. Probably it was none of his business. She might even tell him that herself. He was willing to take the chance. Much to Pat ' s surprise, Neil drove in at the same tea-room that she and the professor had visited the previous day. When they were seated at one of the tiny tables, Neil said, Pat, I have been wanting to talk to you for a long time. It is about this Russian history and — Neil got no further in his conversation. Pat nearly jumped at him. Her eyes were sparkling dangerously. Words came pouring out as if all public speakers had been let loose. Please, Neil, talk about anything but Rus- sian History, any kind of history, Professor Bay- lor, or anything that is connected with a craving for knowledge. Talk about football, track, base- ball, or ping-pong if you like, but, if vou value my company, leave the history out of this. I am so tired of it, I could eat my books. I am so tired of old Bavlor, I could — well, almost anv- way. He doesn ' t use a bit of slang. He doesn ' t dance. He thinks it is a waste of time. Her wild rush of words was halted by the trio which had started to nlay a tango. Pat went on, Neil, let ' s dance. Do all the crazy steps that vou know. And will you please let off some cood. peppy slang expressions? I feel the need of them. O Ki Do. replied Neil with a broad crin on his face. Let ' s hit on all four. Maybe we ' ll make the grade. Just you and I? A man and his wife seated at a side table re- marked about the couple as they danced by. You certainly would know they went to col- lege. Look at those dance steps! Do you hear that awful language they are using? I can ' t make anything out of it, can you? They do seem to be having a good time. It makes me remember when we were in college — .
