Jului Delorey: They showed us a picture on Safety, which proved to be inter- esting. John Hoffman: You ' re correct, and that makes a perfect score for you so far. Keep it up. Let ' s see what question our next contestant must answer. Harold, can you name the outstanding feat accomplished by the wrestling team? Harold Buker: Yes, they won the Tufts Tournament in Class A. John Hoffman: That ' s right, good! Another contestant with a perfect score. Here comes the final contestant up for her second question. Let ' s see what your question is, Peg . On what did a District Attorney from Chicago lecture? Margaret Donahue: He gave a lecture on Crime Does Not Pay, which was ex- tremely interesting since he, himself, had tried many professional criminals. JoJin Hoffman: That ' s too bad, Peg, you ' re wrong. The name of the lecture was Crime Marches On! Sorry, as that makes the first mistake so far. Better luck on your next question. John Hoffman: This makes the end of the second round, so let us pause briefly for station identification. This is station W. H. S. of the Sophomore Broad- casting Company. Now we are all set for our third and final round in the battle of wits. John, can you name the play given by the teachers in 1939? John Delorey: The play was George and Margaret. John Hoffman: You ' re right again. Your perfect score still holds out. Here is another question on drama. Harold, what was the name of the operetta pro- duced by the W. H. S. Glee Club? Harold Burlier: It was the Chimes of Normandy, ' ' and the acting was excellent, as was the singing. John Hoffman: That ' s right, you ' re right! Peg , who put on You Can ' t Take- It With You? Margaret Donahue: The Senior Class, who did an excellent piece of work in its dramatization. John Hoffman: Correct. Now our final question goes to our first contestant, John Delorey. John, did we hear a lecture on a certain section of our country that year? John Delorey: Yes, it was The Old East. John Hoffman: You ' re wrong, that ' s wrong! The lecture was the Old West. That breaks your perfect record. Now comes the time to give out the award which goes to none other than Harold Buker. And now our announcer will take over for the remainder of our time. Kay MacAleer: It is with pleasure, Harold, that I present to you this golden key which should be worth its weight. Sorry, our time is up. Don ' t forget, we ' ll, be back soon with some more puzzling questions. This is station W. H. S. signing off for the Sophomore Broadcasting Company ' s Network. Good luck and good health to all!

Now the second contestant approaches the microphone. Harold, what two songs were composed for the High School that year? Name the two composers, too, if you can. Harold Buker: Maroon and Gold and The Cross of Grey , both of which were written by Mr. Norman Loud and Mr. John Ghiorse. The former is a football song, and the latter is the Weymouth High School Alma Mater. John Hoffman: That ' s right, you ' re right! Next comes our third and final con- testant in this quiz contest. Peg , what dance turned out to be a great suc- cess in 1938? Margaret Donahue: The Athletic Dance sponsored by the Student Council at which the Teddy Bears ' orchestra played for dancing.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Sponsor Announcer. Quizmaster. The School Committee Warren McKinnon, Vice-President of the Class Margaret Bletzer Warren McKinnon: Don ' t turn that dial! You are now tuned in on the W. H. S. braodcasting facilities, and we are about to present that captivating Quiz Pro- gram presented by the Junior Broadcasting Corporation. We have some ques- tions which everyone should know, and the quizmaster will be our own Peg Bletzer. The contestants will be those who Yahooti , more commonly known to us the Snooper , has written about. Take it over Peg and see if you can catch them. Peggy Bletzer: Thank you, Hop , for that work of art. I will remember you in my will. Well, enough of that! The winner of this contest will have a front seat in the Graduation Exercises next June (We hope!) . The first question to-night is, Who was the football hero on Thanksgiving Day? Ulick Mahoney is the first contestant. You should know that one, Ulick. Ulick Mahoney: You bet I do. George Anderson saved the day for Weymouth by scoring the only touchdown. Peggy Bletzer: Correct! We ' ll see if we can find some more difficult ones. Here ' s a good one! Who were the most outstanding football players this season? The next contestant is Betty Fahey. I guess she has the answer to that one on the tip of her tongue. Am I right, Betty? Betty Fahey: That ' s right. Both Parker Bates and Alan Sampson received tro- phies for their marvelous playing. Peggy Bletzer: Very good Betty and now I know you ' re not just prejudiced. We ' ll see if Sylvia Steele can tell us who were the stars on the basketball team this year. Syliva Steele: In my estimation, George Bailey and Robert McArthur were the best, but Fred Slattery and Cecil Breton were also outstanding. Peggy Bletzer: You hit the nail right on the head, Sylvia. Here ' s one that ought to give someone some trouble. What gave Weymouth High School a Japanese air around the middle of February? You take that one, Kay. Kay McAleer: And I thought you were my friend. I ' ll make a guess, but if it ' s wrong, don ' t hold it against me. I ' ll say it was The Mikado, an operetta with Clarence Burrell, Bill Sewell, Portia Stanton, and Betty Fahey playing the lead- ing roles. Peggy Bletzer: Well, I guess you can ' t catch a McAleer! We ' ll see if Bob Holbrook can tell us what was the topic of an interesting lecture and demon- stration by Mr. Sloan in the hall? Bob Holbrook: That ' s easy, liquid air was the topic, and Mr. Sloan demon- strated its ability by frying an egg on it. Peggy Bletzer: Fine, Bob , you have a good memory. The next question that come up is, How did our teachers exhibit their talents this year? That ' s your question, Bob . See what you can do with it.
