the country or from city to city. lt is difficult to predict the future of shipsg for, ever since primitive man hopped on a log and started the hrst water-transport vehicle, the ship has been the largest passenger-carrying unit in the world. Within the span of a lifetime, man has seen isolation banished by transporta- tion. The poor man can take his weary family out of the noisy city into the pure air and sunshine of the country. To the sick, far from help, the motor vehicle brings the doctor quickly. We have come a long way in the progress of transportation. Yet, we are just beginning to learn. We have the whole future before us. Mothers and fathers, no words can express our appreciation and gratitude for the opportunities you have given us. May we prove worthy of the sacrifices ou have made so that with all our educational advanta es we ma en'o a richer Y S Y J Y life. Mr. Pearson and members of the School Committee, we thank ou for the Y twelve ears of o ortunities which we have en 0 ed under our able su ervision. Y PP J Y Y P Mr. Whittle and teachers, we are deeply grateful for your understanding, patience, and kindness. May we pass on to others the best that you have given us. Classmates, as we learn our high school to-day for the greater school of life, let us ever keep in mind our inspiring motto. To-day, unusual conditions exist. There is an excess of material, an excess of money, and an excess of man-power. I'here is not enough work to do, and yet there is so much to be done. The frontiers opened by science will afford greater opportunities for employment and increase in cultural advantages. Every generation has serious problems. Our forefathers mastered theirs. Can we expect to do less? Certainly, when we look at the achievements of this country during the last one hundred and fifty years, with our hopes and courage high, let us go-forward with purpose.

Coaches: Mr. Hilton, Mr. Whittle Assistant Coach: Mr. Lyons Captain: Paul Roche Quarterback: Preston Barry Left Halfback: Marguerite Starkey Right Halfback: Lenna Palmer Fullback: Ralph Hunter FIRST QUARTER The game had begun, and great excitement had enveloped the VVeymouth High School gridiron as, on September 9, a group of bewildered freshmen took their positions. The football team was expected to have a banner year under their new coach, Mr. Harry Arlanson, and Captain Charles White. The whistle blew. The ball soared down the field into the hands of the Freshman-Senior Party, which came up the field beautifully for an advance of lifteen yards. After running off a few plunges at the center of the line, the basketball quintet, under the leadership of Captain Paone, streaked around right- end for the following yardage gain: thirteen victoriesg four defeats. A razzle dazzle in the form of an Amateur Show completed the march for a first down. During a time-out, the teachers on the sidelines amused the team with What Every Woman Knows. The Tatterman Marionettes followed suit and gave us Jason and the Golden Fleece. Play was resumed, and with the advice of the Athletic Council, a fast moving play called the Athletic-Dance brought us over the fifty-yard line. A completed pass in the form of the Operetta, Who Discovered America, carried us a few yards nearer the goal. The captain called for another time-out, and we watched the girls do a line job in their Gym Exhibition. The baseball team aided measur- ably in the next play with their record of nine wins against three defeats. Meanwhile, some of the veteran players, the seniors, had warmed up on the side- lines, and after being sent into the game, they pulled an unexpected reverse called Big Hearted Herbert as their final play of the year. The freshmen, sure of themselves by now, co-operated with the rest in a power play, just before the whistle blew for the end of the first quarter. Referees: Gladys Dwyer, Gloria Poinsett Linesman: Antha Phillips SECOND QUARTER After the brief rest period between the quarters, during which our weary team regained its pep and prepared to go on anew, the whistle blew, and again the fame commenced. The ball was put into play by the Varsity Football team with Co-Captains Pirie and DiLorenzo leading the attack. Their record of nine victo ies, no defeats, won them the Class B State Championship. At this point we employed a spinner play, the Glee Club taking the ball through a Musical Revue and then passing it to the Student Council, which completed the play to the tune of a Victory Dance. 22
