Helen Quirk Helen is a popular senior girl seen at all foot- ball and basketball games. Her favorite sport is Riding Around In The Rain. (We really mean it) From her attitude and remarks it seems as though Physics is her best study. Is it a little warm in this room? Everyone who knows her must have heard her say, Oh, praj for me! Having no special hobby her spare time is spent thinking (?). Her favorite singer is Ozzie Nelson, which is not bad, not bad at all. Helen is a good friend to all, and we wish her all the success there is. Donald Foskett Don is our idea of what every senior boy should be. He is active in many sports, and a great aid to the teams. His idea of a perfect evening seems to be one spent at the club. This is the place where he can be himself and listen to his favorite radio programmes. Don certainly has a great supply of expressions; such as Vive le Hitler! He is an artist of no small ability, and spends a great deal of time drawing pictures. His classmates like him. We wish him luck and pop- ularity in the future. He certainly has it here at Weymouth High. P. S. Just to let you know that your editor is not in charge of Snoops this year. In Screen Titles It Happened One Night while I was walk- ing down Side Streets. I met Cleopatra and The Thin Man, who were looking for The Girl From Missouri, who lost her Hat, Coat and Glove while watching the Circus Clown doing the Bolero with Jane Eyre, which be- came Private Sandals, but was complimented by Doctor Monica and Virgie Winters, who returned to the ' ' Scarlet Empress and found her Chained behind the Double Door on account of The Flirtation with Franken- stein, who had just gone on a Six-Day Bicycle Race on a One Way Ticket to Hell in the Heavens.

Listen] Our Reflector train is approaching, and it needs fuel to keep it going. We contributors make the fuel for the train, and without this necessity it would stop. 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.

Ralph and Robert Rennie Ralph and Bobby are two frisky freshmen. Trouble seems to be their middle name. Bob has a hobby of collecting baseball cards (by the way, if anyone has any, he ' d appreciate them). This is done to broaden his views. Both just love spinach for, so they say, it will make them big strong men some day. Ralph likes Bing Crosby and the song, I Saw Stars . These boys have gained much popularity in the short while they have been at Weymouth High, and we certainly hope this continues. Best of luck, boys ! Gertrude Ferguson Gertie is a dashing sophomore always on the go . You must have seen her hurrying about the school. She favors Glen Gray ' s Casa Loma Orchestra. Her hobby is originating dance steps, and she has won popularity in that line. Dances do not seem complete without her pres- ence. When it comes to sports, she ' s right there when there ' s a football game. Her favorite song is Out in the Cold Again . Gertie is usually in a talkative mood — does it ever get her in trouble? Don ' t let those little things worry you, Gertie; we admire your naturalness and sweetness. Bob Candy That blond, hard to get sophomore, is Wevmouth High ' s future taxidermist. He has a secret passion for stuffing animals (kittens, a specialty). We wonder if it is his love for music that inspired him to join the orchestra and band ? We are still trying to find out Bob ' s reason for preferring four o ' clock busses. His pet hobby is art. Bob ' s biggest ambition is to run a motorcycle line between North and South Weymouth. Never mind, Bob, we ' re all for you ! Pauline Upton Pauline is the flame ' ' of the Junior Class. She has lots of pep and she certainly used it at the football games. Her favorite orchestra is that of Fred Waring, and she prefers Bing Crosby ' s crooning. Her hobby is seeing every motion picture possible, and it looks as if she has had a good deal of practice. Every little while she says, So I says to J. P. Morgan . Stars Fell In Alabama is her favorite song. Pauline is a good companion and lots of fun. We wish there were more like her. David Hall Dave is the best natured boy in the Junior Class. He is certainly welcome at any time because of the fun he brings with him. All his spare time is spent writing notes. (We hope this doesn ' t give your secret away!) His favorite food, he says, is caviar — how do you know, Dave? During the past year he has been trying to sell everyone a boat. In other words, Want to buy a boat? Dave ' s ambition is to be a life- guard, so that in case no one buys his boat, he can use it. It looks as though he couldn ' t swim? His favorite song is Love In Bloom , and he happens to be another boy with that crooning complex. He will do! REFLECTOR ...16...

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...
