MANET ll more often. He was on the outs over at Tufts, and he won his match in 40 seconds. Basketball isn't the only indoor sport Capl' Bryan participates in. You really should have seen him cutting out paper hearts for the Valentine Dance decorations . . . Yoo-hoo Cappy. If you want the real low-down on the Skippy program, see Dutchy Taber . . . Had your Wheaties yet Dutch? We notice that Andy Kelley and Anna Cashman are always absent on the same day. Vile breathe more easily now that the basket- ball team has returned from Danvers intact . . . Maybe there should have been a longer visit in a few cases. VVhat's the purpose of this luncheon club that's held in 302? . . . Even the members don 't know. It used to be the boys with B. O. or halitosis who didn 't fit with the ladies. Now it 's the wrestling squad with their grizzily bear hug. The happy medium between hot and cold has been found at last. Dick Gould solved the problem at a Hi-Y supper. He dunks his ice cream in his cocoa. If you think that Kenny Patten and the boys put on a good wrestling match you should have been on the bus with the basketball squad on the return trip from Taunton . . . Hey Rube. That's all for the present, we ,ll be back in the graduation number with more Northern Exposures. BELIEVE IT OR NOT By Harold V. Scollin, 9-1 A PUZZLE By H. Irene 1Villard. 10-1 Dorothy E.

CHRYSALIS The carnival was not a big financial success. The traffic problems are all solved and the corridors are very quiet. Bill Feurtado is all skin and bones. The North Quincy-Quincy basketball game was poorly attended. Miss Parker has never been seen to smile. The Varsity Folliesw looked distinctly feminine. Mr. Rogers has never been heard to utt-r a big word. The school dunces are in 12-1. Mr. Collins never uses the word Nthereforew when speaking. By Hazel Borne I am too much myself. I would I could go from myself. Leave me like a shell, Like a dragon fly, new-born, Emerging from its chrysalis 1Vitl1 damp and trailing wings. And I would poise Rejoicing in my 11ew-found being On a swayed green stem. Ifntil I felt my wings grow strong with sun. Then would I soar and dart and spin, The sun reiiecting from my wings New radiances. New motions would I find New songs. new tears- The old restrictions gone, of fear and hate, Of shame, of sorrow, and regret, And I a newer. lighter. brighter thing.

IO MAN ET this with a method which tickles his imagina- tion. He visions a bright, pert chorus of grass cutters in sparkling color on the lawn. Cheer leaders would come first exhorting them to unparalleled efforts. Next would come three powerful janitors, the leads of the chorus. with big mowers rumbling like mimic tanks. Behind would come the mincing students with scythes lifted in unison. There would be the one, two, three of a stoop, a cut. a rising, followed by a flanking movement until the grass would lie in severed 'ranks to be danced over in triumph. The Jester suggests further that the band practice would come as a part of this weekly ritual and accompany the dancing and the triumphal closing. Yet this being cool weather the removal of snow seems on second thought to be more practical than the cutting of grass. Therefore he apologizes and states that in the summer issue he will propose the proper removal of snow. So. turning to the present. the Jester explains his latest brain wave. Here he believes one of his deeds than can be done but won't may startle its proponent and actually be done. He of these pictures in the Manet. So he warns all to beware. He has mourned before the lack of a camera on occasions such as certain teachers' Htea parties of an informal nature in Miss Marriner's room. Then. too, he wishes tosnap pretty little pictures of lads and lassies chatting intently in dark corridors after school. That peculiar loving expression would appear to immense advantage in iilm. Then too, though he himself has often been a great disturber, the Jester would be so mean as to photograph talking or even a lively game of tit-tat-too at an assembly. He would snap certain scenes of flying erasers and books in class rooms. Even a particularly savage oath in the midst of a game would have tremendous dramatic value to him. In fact. before he closes ta posse is reported approachingj the Jester goes so far as to think of the reception of one picture. He reflects on the consternation of certain males on seeing their retreating heels, veering out of bounds for a smoke, reproduced in the Manet. fXVhen the Jester ventures out of bounds he first- throws out a rubber ball so that he is only chasing the ball.l Now though the Jester may plan many escapades, unless anyone has some- thing definitely against him, he will mercilessly expose other offenders. Furthermore, he stands ready with his Kodak to withstand any f-ncroachments on his personal ideas. But after all writing is so tiresome! The .Tester must now return to his diverting dreams. KHP is planning an impromtu fire drill.j NORTHERN EXPOSURES By Men About Town After reading the following casual observations. we shall nevermore traverse the dusky corridors with- out feeling the prying eyes of Certain Men About Town. NVe introduce a new feature to the 'tManet,', 'Northern Exposures , by Men About Town. This column will contain all the school scandal that it is possible for us to obtain. VVe hear that J. Thornton McVVeeney broke a chandelier in a certain young lady 's house in Montclair, while demonstrating a golf shot with one of the Pater's clubs . . . Vvlhat a hacker. Are these referees with the striped shirts ex-convicts or just petty thieves? Vile wish to suggest to the school authorities that when they hand out sweaters to the next football team they give them to the players' girl friends first. Vkle feel that this would save timeand effort on the part of the girls. The Varsity Follies went over in a big way at the Junior Carnival . . . lVhy not, with Bill Feurtado as Minnie The Moocher? A bouquet in your lap, Jimmy McLellan, for the fine way you put over your act at the Junior Carnival. History repeats itself. The North took Gettysburg and North took Quincy. . . Football, VVrestling and Basketball. When Walter Joly met the official at one of the home basketball games the ref gave him the once-over and remarked, Gee, you're a funny looking guy . . . Never mind, Walter, what's one man's opinion against hundreds of pretty girls? VVhy is it that some members of the Senior Class skipped school to see Cab7' Calloway during his recent visit to the Met, when we have so many hi-de-ho boys about school? The idea of the buttons for traffic ofticers and cafeteria marshals is to show the teachers that they are cops and not just some other pupils who don 't know where they belong. Incidentally, the manly art of shaving is becoming popular here . . . At Heidleberg they get their scars from duellingg at North they fret them from wielding the razor. This harmonizing in the cafeteria may be O. K. after school, but it 's bad for the digestion during the lunch period. lVe're beginning to wonder what Jimmy Guilmartin has been doing with this C311191'2l he's been lugging about school. VVe know those birds who walked off with the ice cream at the Valentine Dance didn't mean any harm, but what a bunch of softies. Probably some of those Hpansiesi' from the Varsity Club that Mr. Collins mentioned. NVQ suggest to Ralph Mettler that he be sick l C
