I do not know. I am more concernedwith things close to my eyes. How many hairs are there in your eye- brows? asked the youth innocently. Knowledge of self is important: without it, one criticizes wrongly, gives the world a false impression. and hinder one's own success. It is rather stupid and disconcert- ing. is it not. to find fault with others when one does not know one's own demerits? Is it not far fore attempting to cure those in strangers? What good influence on his friends can a person hope to have who has purified his own character not at all? Deep down in his heart, a human being really knows himself as he actually is, and not as others behold him. How cad like a creature re- vered and esteemed by the public must feel if he knows he is honestly a wretch at heart. By studying him- self. he can live up to other people's ideas of him. Public opinion is a vitally important factor in the life of the most secluded living being. One should really live up to the world's standard by knowing himself and. consequently, bettering his life. How can anyone hope to succeed without analyzing his character and talents. discovering his real stock in life. and using it? If a man finds he is base and ignorant, honestly knows he is. he will surely Cif he is worthy of the name man j try to make himself Hner and more well-versed. Success depends upon knowledge of self: for after knowledge of self fol- low improvement and trust in self. the very elements of success. Have a session with yourself. '29, and each of you. classes '30, '31, and '32! Have a stocktaking, an invent- ory. Get rid of that which is old, outmodeled and unnecessary! Make room for newer. more splendid ma- terial!

The various events in which we excelled-foot ball. basketball, baseball, opera, socials and scholastic honors-all these We must leave behind for the Juniors to carry on as best they can. We shall leave not only social events but also our ethics periods, in which Mr. Rye weekly gave us talks on character. health. school spirit and other subjects. These helpful talks have. in a way. prepared us for what is to come after our graduation. I am sure that we are all very grate- ful and thank Mr. Rye sincerely for his guidance and his helping hand. Our first year was a very trying one to most of us. The numerous errors which we made then. we avoided in the following year. It was as Sophomores that we gained more friends and chose our Class Officers BROCKTONIA 7 to lead us. As Juniors we prepared for the last year, which had been our goal from the start. As Seniors we tried to set good examples for the Juniors to follow, and we hope we have succeeded. Now comes the time for parting! Friends and teachers, farewell! But we must remember that there is work ahead and it is our duty to continue. as so many before us have done. Again we give our thanks to Mr. Rye, our headmaster, who has been so kind and helpful during our four pleasant years in school. We are greatly indebted to him and wish him the best of luck. Anna May Banavich, '29.' THANK YOU VERY MUCH INDEED The Brocktonia Staff for 1928- 29 wants to extend its thanks to everyone in B. H. for subscriptions, contributions. and general support. We also desire to thank the Senior Class for its generous financial aid and express our gratitude to the members of the faculty who have rendered us invaluable assistance. We have done our best to make Brocktonia successful once more, trying to unearth new ideas, al- though everything has been done before and have attempted throughout the year to enliven a weary work-a-day world with bits of humor and illustrations. We wish next year's Brocktonia Staff all possible good fortune. Pub- lishing a magazine is fun as well as work: we can only hope you receive the co-operation and teamwork we did. Thank you very much. indeed. Brocktonia Staff, '29. DESK COVERS Desk covers! What an important subject, for many and varied are the things that go on behind them. Especially that study recess! Cf course there are a few who always obey rules, and whose desk covers are kept in their proper places. But alas! these are few, for the majority al- ways like to do the opposite. As one glances about the room, his eye rests on some little miss, who is vainly attempting to take the shine off her nose by the use of a powder puff and compact, Hnishing up by hasty comb- ing of the hair. This, in spite of all the Friday discussions concerning the use of such things as compacts and combs in public. Perhaps the most conspicuous of all are those whom we see munching a cookie, a piece of candy or even a sandwich behind that desk cover. Whether it tastes better when eaten upstairs where it is strictly forbidden or whether they enjoy trying' to sneak the coveted food past some watchful eye is known only to those who indulge in this pastime. Last but not least are the constant gossipers who save all scandal and news for the study recess, to be told from behind those desk covers. Everything runs along smoothly until one finally hears, '!Desk covers, please! With a bang. all covers go down at once and everyone seems to have a passion for study, until, a few minutes later. when teacher has apparently forgotten about desk cov- ers, they slowly go creeping up again, One bv 0119- Mary Boland, '29, B.

NELSON Class Oraror Class Oration PROBLEMS OF YOUTH In these days of mechanical ad- vancement, of social betterment, and of greater educational advantages, we who are on the threshold of life. must realize that we have problems to solve. Whether our way will lead through the portals of some higher academic institution, or directly into the tournament of life, we shall en- counter at least two basic problems. These problems, the solution of which is extremely essential to the success and happiness of each indi- vidual, but particularly to youth. concern the choice of a life work and the selection of friends. By a life work I do not mean a mere job. but rather a profession or trade where a goal manetizes, and a gleam of greater achievement beckons. In the problem of selecting friends, we must discriminate between the permanent and the evanescent, be- tween the true and the periidious, be- tween the constructive and destruc- tive. Like the wise mathematician, who lirst studies his hypothesis before tackling a difhcult proposition, we must Hrst study our capabilities, our likes and dislikes before reaching a solution of our problem. Since un- doubtedly no one knows us better than we ourselves, this solution is based on accurate self-analysis. Our Htness should be compared to mental and physical standards, Some voca- tions demand a high degree of men- tality. while others call for greater physical endurance. In addition to these fundamental standards, we should carefully weigh our likes and dislikes, as well as our limitations. Thus the analysis of our faculties and our inclinations should eliminate most chances of securing a position for which we are not suited. Let us keep in mind, moreover, that no matter what a man's work, he can do it better if he is well-informed. In m-y opinion, the question of what service we might render is a BROCKTONIA 15 factor not to be neglected in deter- mining a future vocation. If our self-analysis should prove our suit- ability for a life of service in one way or another, our supreme gift would be to devote ourselves to that ser- vice. In whatever line of life work we may lind ourselves, let us weave into our program some degree of un- selfishness. In my enthusiasm for public ser- vice. I would not disparage the ne- revsity of ample pecuniary returns. May an insatiable desire for wealth, however, not blind us to greater achievements, and to nner, nobler affairs than the mere material sus- tenance of life. But let us rather strive for the best, which is not wealth. and to love it as such is idolatry, and, as St. Paul declares, the root of all evil. Moreover. let us crystallize the recompenses of suc- cess. such as benefits which others de- rive from our inventions or accomp- lishments and our satisfaction in having done something well: these recompenses are of higher value than the dollar. Nevertheless, in these days when capital reigns, we must acknowledge the power of this king: but let us not bow obsequiously be- fore his scepter. As the Prophet saith. Ye cannot serve God and Mammonf' XVhile determining one course or another, I wonder if we shall be satisfied to assume a position indiffer- ent to further advancement, Let us consider. moreover, that we must move either forward or backward: we cannot remain long in a position of stagnancy. ln these days of prog- ress, in both the industrial and social spheres. perfection is a strong incen- tive. May we also realize that, al- though places for the indolent are scarce, there is always plenty of room for persistent. patient, and assiduous labor. Whether we reach our goal or not, A noble aim. Faithfully kept, is as a noble deed. Furthermore. as We face the tre- mendous issue, What shall we be? or What shall we do? our happiness de- mands thorough consideration. Who can give his best when retarded by the sting of dissatisfaction, or im- peded by the weight of depression, or hampered by a lack of earnest en- thusiasm? Without a doubt, happi- ness is an issue to be carefully bal- anced by us all before making the final decision concerning our future career. Thus, in consideration of these guides, let us venture forth from these halls at least partially equipped, I hope, with an understanding that vocations are not merely gifts for the asking, but rather attainments for careful deliberation and real sincerity. It is most essential that we have some fundamental idea of our capacity, and, to some extent, of our desires concerning a vocation: and we should, moreover, have formulated an opinion of our expectations about our chosen life work. Now, in addi- tion to selecting a career wisely, dur- ing this formative period of youth. the question of friends should be very prominent in our thoughts. Unknowingly we place require- ments on our friendship, and it lies within us to determine the price that shall be paid for our companionship. Popularity arises as a possible field for planting the seed of future friend- ship. But let us remember that most associations based on popularity alone are usually mistaken friend- ships and have only an evanescent existence. Furthermore, in these extravagant times. wealth entices many an irreso- lute person to a subservient and sometimes. degrading. acquaintance. The vision of good times, even at the risk of one's health and self-re- Spect, urges the acceptance of money as a standard. I sincerely hope. how- ever, that our friendship will be be- yond the reach of wealth and luxury. Still another possible basis for our friendship is education. I feel sure that we all shall enjoy the pleasure of having friends who possess an ed- ucation equal or superior to ours. Also, we shall, in al-l probability, appreciate many friends who have 16 BROCKTONIA been deprived of the educational ad- vantages which we are so fortunate in possessing. In both these cases, the relationship should be stimulat- ing and inspirational. It is likely. however, that most of us will desire comrades who are neither illiterates nor pedants, but rather those who recognize and appreciate the value of knowledge. Again. shall we select our com- panions by the standard of influ- ence? Truly, influence is a powerful magnet. Such authority which might further advance the realization of our ambitions frequently offers a most tempting friendship. Never- theless, while considering this issue. let us realize that a friendship based purely upon it will necessarily be fleeting. We will admit, however. the potency of influence which I be- lieve should be regarded as a com- ponent part of friendship, not its foundation. As Emerson once said, We should seek our friends not sacredly, but with an adulteration passion which would appropriate him to our- selves. Lasting friendship must be a compromise. That is, real com- radeship should have mutual bene- Hts. We do not desire a prospective friend to undergo a complete altera- tion of his habits and inclinations: nor does he wish for a like surrender on our part. Our friend should be one who furnishes entertainment without requiring us to stoop, or to cquivocate, or to mask the real self. In spite of all that we may say regarding the choice of friends, the finest, truest type of friendship is quite involuntary: in fact, it is the by-product of co-operative endeav- or. The essence of friendship is entireness, a total magnanimity and trust. In conclusion, these two funda- mental problems. choosing a life work wisely and selecting friends prudently, are indeed closely inter- woven. May we realize the pro- digious importance of both, and that the forming of friendships without preparation for a career would be an iv unsound basis for living. while even the greatest success in a career void of friendships would be but hollow mockery. Lawrence M. Nelson, '29. THE DISCOVERY SCIENCE NOW SEEKS Science is delving deep into the realms of the unknown, seeking to provide for the public a benefit so far not known to mankind. The solution of this mystery will be of great pleasure to the skeptical populace, who, now in comparative agony, hopefully await the day when termination shall greet their trials. The man of the house, who rises cheerfully at the sound of his Big Ben , and who, still cheerful, takes his morning bath, gleeful in that he realizes his one source of happiness, his cake of Ivory will ever greet him from the top, rather than the bot- tom, of the tub, leaves for work cursing inwardly at the established impossibility of the one thing that would make his life complete. Mrs. Van Dalwinkle leaves her home one bright spring afternoon confident that the bridge lunch at the Country Club will be a huge suc- cess. She returns as the sun is slow- ly sinking in the west, her head drooping, the realization burning hot within her that the afternoon a total failure. And for reason! has been only one Dinner parties, tea parties, almost all kinds of parties are ruined only because-I But why should one fret and be so unhappy because of a thing proved, throughout the that has ages, inevitable? So goes the world! Fussing and fuming, all society impatiently lives For the day when science shall pro- claim before the awe-stricken mass, Here is the article which makes democracy safe! Here is the reliant, the ever-ready! Here is the grapefruit without the squirt! ' Frances Hale, '29. BROCKTONIA I7 HELEN F, McKENNEY Class Essayist Class Essay CONFIDENCE Everyone who watches an aero- plane maneuvering in space marvels at the skill and daring of the pilot, for today no one calls fliers fools. In truth, the rapid progress which has been made in the field of aviation de- mands the world's respect. To the pioneer airmen who have charted the sky trails around the world cred- it for this new faith in the air is due. These men suffered hardships pa- tiently, because they had confidence in themselves to perfect the aero- plane, confidence in mankind to rec- ognize the benefits of aviation, and --most important of all-conHd- ence in God to carry them safely through their high adventure, We. too, are pilots, each of his own life's plane. To guide this plane through the treacherous air pockets of life, we, like those gallant heroes of the air, must believe in ourselves, in mankind, and in God. The necessity for securing self- conlidence cannot be over-estimated, since without faith in ourselves we are like an aeroplane that lacks a pro- peller. Certainly we cannot expect to soar above others if we do not be- lieve in our own competence! But what of the time when we face fail- ure-utter defeat of all our plan- ning? We shall find that nothing is more destructive of self-confidence than failure. Nevertheless, there is no other time in our lives when we need more faith in ourselves than at this crisis. Even the failure itself may be more easily remedied than the impairment of self-confidence. We can avoid this risk of losing faith in ourselves by remembering that a few failures do not spell com- plete ruin. From our reading here in school, we can recall many exam- ples of self-confidence which. not- withstanding repeated failure, en- abled men to achieve success. Those of us who have enjoyed Richard Harding Davis's sparkling story, Gallagher , may be surprised to I8 BROCKTONIA learn that this manuscript was not accepted immediately. On the con- trary, Davis's masterpiece was re- jected by several editors and revised many times before it was finally published in Scribner's Magazine. Yet Gallagher marked Davis as a successful writer of fiction. The his- tory of the World reveals many other instances of famous men who re- fused to allow previous failures to deter them from the success of which they were capable. But in our effort to secure self- confidence we should guard against self-complacency. There is. after all, a vast difference between faith in ourselves and satisfaction with our- selves. Self-coniidence is the foun- dation for magnificent achievement. but self-complacency is the death of creative work. More specifically. the life of Louis Pasteur is an excel- lent illustration of self-confidence unmarred by any trace of self-adula- tion. ln spite of the scepticism of his colleagues, Pasteur persevered in his experiments with inoculation, until today he is acknowledged as the scientist whose discoveries with regard to disease are of greater value than those of all the medical acade- mies in the world. Yet we need only look about us to observe many individuals who are allowing self- complacency to kill any impulse they may have towards aiding humanity and improving their own condition. Let us. therefore, forget foolish van- ity, and strive for a justifiable faith in ourselves. When we have gained this desir- able confidence in ourselves, it does not follow, unfortunately, that we shall have equal confidence in other people. Nevertheless, belief in hu- manity is essential to the preserva- tion of a well-balanced life. The pessimist, with restricted outlook. lacks that incentive to action which only faith can give. lf we could, in fact, believe in those about us as simply as the Bishop trusted Jean Valjean, the criminal from the gal- leys, we, as well as mankind, should reap the reward. For confidence, like the quality of mercy, Ublesseth him that gives and him that takes. There is. however, one precaution which we should observe, and that is not to believe so unreservedly in our friends that we shall approach idolatry. Since everyone is human and subject to error, we are likely to be disillusioned: for unscrupulous persons may use our confidence in them to their own advantage. Thus we encounter the difficulty of know- ing whom we may trust. Obvious- ly, we shall discover no infallib'c zn- dex of trustworthiness. It is, in fact, only by experience that we may gain worthy friendships. Probably many of us have al- ready realized that self-confidence and trust in others is of no avail without faith in a Supreme Power. Too often we hear that the younger generation believes faith in this Power is futile, and that modern youth is replacing God and religion by science and belief in material things. Some of us, unquestion- ably, pay undue attention to lux- uries and indulgences. and neglect the spiritual side of living. Yet the experience of man has shown that occasions arise when neither trust in our own resources nor the support of our friends will uphold us. ln such crises we must rely upon the power of God. Now whether we recognize it or not. we are all confirmed believers: otherwise, we should not continue to live! However loudly we main- tain that we are doubters, by every deed we prove that we believe in life We all hope to reach some goal and, consequently, we plan for the future. Everyone of us who makes plans for tomorrow testifies unconsciously to his faith in life, his faith in God. Unbelief? There is no unbelief: Whoever says beneath the sky. 'Be patient. heart: light breaketh by and by.' Trusts the Most High. He'en F. Mclienney, BROCKTONIA , ESTEEIE NKATZ Class Poem Swifter than Time had ever sped before Passed June, and now we were to graduate. Into the world we were to graduate, to shape Our joint possession, Life. that did await. The night had come, all awesome and immense, Our solemn graduation: silent, sat Six hundred Seniors, sad, expectant, tense. And while the master gave a scroll to each, Reading the name of every youth and maid, Strange fear stabbed at my heart: frightened. I turned, And saw that every Senior was afraid. An icy coat of mail encased my heart. Oh God, I whispered, why should this be so? . Why are we not content? Should we not rejoice For what will be: not merely sad to go? Ah. what is coming? We must stand alone. Here, we've been sheltered, guarded: we're so young! What is this Thing called Life? Is it so dread? Then through the hall divine reply was rung. I think it was God's voice: none else could be So sweetly safe. secure, dispelling fear. I raised my head: for, hearing, now I knew His firm assurance. He is always near! Ah, child, like thunder rang the voice: Have heed You are upon a threshold, soon not youth, But world-wise. 'What is Life?' you ask, afraid. Life is God's gift, a wondrous thing: in truth, Most wondrous-Life is Love itself. and growth? Just as the writer out of nothingness. BROCKTONIA Or potter, out of moist and sandy clay Can fashion things, not perfect, but of use, Your lives are yours to form and trim away. Just as when day. begun with promise fair, And equal hope for all, sinks in the West, Made good or bad, Life starts with equal share, Its end by your own deeds or cursed or blessed. A bit of slender silver cord is Life, For some of dull, for some of splendid sheen. By all the acts you do or words you say, You keep it free from knots, untarnished. clean. Life's in your hands, you know, in yours alone: Through noble actions and a little care You'll keep the silver thread so pure and fine, 'Twill be a necklace you'll delight to wear. Life is no calm and scarcely rippled stream Of even. safe, monotonous, soft blue. Nay, Life's a churling, choppy, angry sea. Furious with varied currents, pied of hue- Or, say, like rivers green and gold and black, Oft tinged on stormy days with petrel gray, That frenzied start to end in dreamy coves, Swift Life may empty in sequestered bay. As when a man, pursued, on bridge of steel Sets out to cross a chasm, and he must go Unable to turn back, yet knowing not What dangers he may meet, what friend or foe Awaits him on that hard and glistening bridge, So must a man pursued by Time set out On Life, go ever onward: can't return, but meets Whatever lies there on the bridge of years. A brave man all with courage, not with timor, greets Not like an hermit on a mountain top Surveying Life with carefree, idle heart. Not like great Milton, peerless poet, who Dwelt like a star, so silent and apart. Not so survey you Life: there is no time. You must partake in every bustling scene. Vkfho lives must work and give and help. Life is no placid mirror, cold, serene. ' See there your banner! 'Know Thyself' it says. So say I. too: then, as your powers grow You'll find your faults and labor to improve. Making a 'self' that you'll be proud to know. See there the folds of orchid and of white, The one a color royal, a mystery, The other pure as angels, God's own light, Does not yon banner hold Life's prophecy? Purple, the heliotrope of poet's amaranth. King's crimson: Spring's own lilac hue. Dominion over Life is but obtained Through purity. whiteness, in the things you do.

What several years ago consti- tuted a hat. now, if taken apart, would complete a young lady's wardrobe. The hat of yesterday was a very ornamental affair, usually adorned with artificial fruit. foliage, ostrich feathers, or porcupine quills. There was no limit to the size or shape of the hat, since the well-known hat-pin could be used to keep it in its place. The hats were of all kinds of inconceiv- able shapes. from that of a solitary, plate-like contriv- ance, resting on the uppermost hairs of the head. to the high-crown hat, artificially frosted. dropping a veil from its seven inch brim. Tight-fitting, trimless, and colorless, the hat of today, in spite of its small size. is just as expensive as the mountainous head gear of yes- terday. No longer do we see the waving of the plumes and the beautiful conceptions of autumn harvests dis- played on the brims of the hat: instead we see dogs, ele- phants, or other animals outlined in brilliants which have replaced them. Without doubt, it is this lack of opportunity to see gorgeous foliage on hats that makes the public get out its Fords and Rolls-Royces and roll into the country seeking scenic beauty. Ah! How un- fortunate are' we lovers of nature in having been born in the time of the expensive, small, and useless hat!! William Kvaraceus, '30. Estelle L. Katz f f f f f 22 BROCKTONIA J.

Wmgxg Class Ode Seniors, now late sun is setting On dear days at Brockton High. We have reached life's early cross-road, Where sad parting hour draws nigh. Sometimes rough the path we've travelled, Yet the ending causes tears. Friendships made along this highway Will endure through coming years. Thoughts of many happy moments. Spent with classmates tried and true, E'er will linger in our mem'ry, As we sadly say adieu. And to you, fair Alma Mater. We shall always faithful be. And where e'er the future leads us, We shall love and honor thee. Virginia H.

Not many years ago, college edu- cation was available only to those who had considerable means. To- day, a college education may be had by any boy if he has the ambition and is willing to exert himself suf- ficiently. We want to go to college because we know that a college education will not only give us a broader out- look on life but will also enable us to serve our families, ourselves, and to perform the duties of citizenship more effectively. We know that the education will enable us to realize and enjoy the wonders of nature to the fullest. Again, a college education will give us an understanding of the principles of business and financial institutions. It will enable us to com- prehend the significance and the im- portance of various professions and we will be able to adjust ourselves to present day existence and find our places therein. In order to make successful use of a college education, it is absolutely necessary that we have a strong ground work of the preparatory studies that are given us in the col- lege course at high school. We must not only pass in high school courses. but also we must retain the things his fine GET which are taught us there. Unless we do this, our work in college will either be too hard for us to complete or, if we do succeed in going through, we will not be able to get the full benefit of the education. Any boy who wishes to do so can go to college. He can earn enough money during his four years in high school to get a start, and today op- portunities are offered in almost every college for a boy to earn his way if he is willing to work. Chester A. Starr, '29. THE PINFOLD By Fletcher It's not all donkeys and sheep and such like that get into pinfoldsf' said the old man. It's folkses and alll Some never get out-no! -It is on this theme that Fletcher bases his latest book, which is very ditfer- ent from any other of his works and, in fact. quite different from any up to cate mystery story. There is-no stalking murderer or floating ghost-it is simply a terrific struggle lor life and freedom with an invisible foe called Fate, Fortune, or what you will. Its plot is centered in Michael Lambert. a young shepherd. It is his desire to leave the confines of the rural village of Clothford, England, and stride out to Canada to build a new home. Michael. however, is powerless to carry out his desire-his family being constantly in need of him. Then, as conditions lighten for him. the one whom he intends to make his wife is overtaken by mis- fortunes. The outcome of their plans are very uncertain. All characters are cleverly drawn and among them is a good old fash- ioned villain and an extra pair of lovers who have a rocky courtship and who, by the way, have a great deal to do with the waves in Michael's courtship. Therefore, if you are looking for the book with strong meaty structure and plot that never breaks or wanes. or a book that is well written and different in its type choose The Pin- fold .

On the table is a large bottle with a candle thrust into the neck, playing cards. and several small wine glasses. Around the table are two small chairs and a new armchair. Ticking slowly in the corner is a grand- Iather's clock. On the left side of the room. there are two windows with the shades slightly drawn. In the center rear there is a large por- trait by Reynolds and to the right of this is a doorway opening into a spacious hall. On the right side of the room is a bureau Hlled to over- flowing and on the floor beneath are seen books. pillows, and sheets of music spread about in confusion. In one of the small chairs. Oliver Goldsmith is seen with his hands to his head as though in deep thought. I-Ie is wearing a bag wig, scarlet vest. bloom-colored top coat, tight fitting pants of emerald hue with stocking: to match, and brown shoes with large silver buckles. Suddenly. from without the open door. a commotion is heard. Headed by a tall, austere woman dressed in a gray shirt-waist are two bailiffs who seize Goldsmith roughly.

The rickety door opened and he stepped out. Hair, originally red, now bleached sandy by the sun: great, bushy eyebrows overhanging mild, humorous eyes that seemed to have an eternal question in them: a wide, tolerant mouth. slightly turned up at the corners: a great, rugged frame with long hairy arms and legs: large capable hands-what a man! His clothes were patched, evidently by his own hand, and none too artistic- ally. This was my first meeting with Ned- The Hermit, they called him. Ned, this is Jo, of whom you have heard no doubt, said Jim. joining our hands. His grip was firm. almost crush- ingly so. to my rueful surprise. Well, son. I'm glad to meet you, his voice tumbled out of seem- ingly fathomless depths, producing the impression that one was talking with someone out of the past: but Ned was not of the past: he was present. vitally so. Would you like to go hunting porcupines? I should have been warned by the sparkle in his eyes. Why, yes, I unsuspectingly an- swered. Well, there are some that come into my orchard at night. When it gets dark you can take a club and get a couple. They get up in the trees and eat the apples. All you have to do is shake the tree. When they fall out hit them on the head with the club. If one of them chases you don't run uphill, fthe orchard was downhill from the Hermit's shackj their hind legs are longer than their front ones and they can run up hill faster than down. Oh, said I, is that so? Yep, veriied Jim, I was fooled that way once. I ran uphill. and, when the porcupine bumped into me, three of his quills went through my leg. Oh, my eyes were rather large. We waited until night: they were meanwhile enlarging upon the dan- gers of porcupine hunting. Finally I, with trepidation, selected a piece of wood for a club and started down to the orchard bravely trying to whistle. The moon cast a wierd light over the place seeming to people it with giant porcupines bristling all over with super-keen quills poised ready to pierce my body in a thou- sand places. Summoning up my rapidly wan- ing courage I strode recklessly on in- to the orchard. The porcupines melted away as I advanced. I cast a hurried glance up into the nearest tree. Nothing there. The next tree -nothing there. A chuckle from the top of the hill reached my ears. The light began to filter through to me, well, I would show them! Taking a boulder from the stone wall I started it rolling down the mountainside. I then cut diagonal- ly across the mountain, and circled around in back of Ned and Jim who were roaring and shaking with un- suppressed mirth. Taking a log from the wood pile I again took that invisible force gravity as an ally and started the log rolling down towards the men. They turned around to see what caused the disturbance: I ducked behind the wood pile, while the log, unperceived by either Ned or Jim tumbled them like nine-pins. They, being deprived of their equi- librium also succumbed to the force of gravity and ended up rather sur- ALPHA TAU DEBATING CLUB BROCKTONIA 43 prised in the strawberry patch that was Ned's pride and treasure. They afterwards forgave me, and even now to mention the matter in their presence is to touch an invisible button that holds their mirth in check. Abba Dabba. THE NIGHT VISITOR Mary, the maid, jerked herself up- right in bed while she listened in- tently. There it was again, the monotonous scratch, scratch, scratch that had interrupted her love scene with John Gilbert. It seemed to come from above. from the room of her mistress. Suddenly, the sound stopped but was followed by stealthy steps across the floor. The maid instinctively sought refuge beneath the coverings of the bed. Her reasoning powers returned, however, in due time, and. snatching up her kimono. she tiptoed across the floor to the cook's room adjoin- ing her's. With hand extended so as not to make any disturbance which might scare away their assail- ant, she reached the head of the bed. Lily, Lily, wake up quick! There's a burglar in the house! No sah, I'se not gwine to let no man boss me aroun' in dis heah kitchen. Take yo' paws offen me, Ah tells yo'. Take yo' old paws-. Say, what's got into yo' any how. Ain't yo' got no mo' sense en to wakes up a po' soul what's sleepin' sound? Ain't a person even got the right to sleep in peace now-a-days? What fo's you standin' deyah like da fool dat yo' is? Lily, listen: do you hear any- thing? Do Ah 'ear anythin'? Ain't you's a talkin' to me at dis heah mo- men'? You old scared baby, you're go- ing to come with me upstairs and crack that burglar over the head. If my high heeled shoes were good enough to make Georgy see stars. they'll serve a double purpose now. Come on and stop your shivering. We'll make sure that no one visits Saint Peter tonight. Mary, having first armed herself and the cook with high heeled shoes. cautiously opened the door into the hallway. Grasping Lily by the hand, she started to mount the car- peted stairs leading to the bedrooms above. The growling sound became more and more distinct as Mary, dragging the unwilling cook by the hand and holding high her danger- ous weapon. came nearer and nearer to her victim. Shenwas almost at her wit's end trying to keep Lily from saying her fervent prayers out loud. Through the dead silence of the night came Lawdy, lawdy through chattering teeth to offset the peculiar noise from above. Suddenly, just as the top stair facing the door of Mrs. Lesley's room was reached, there was a squeak, a scurrying, and a shrill scream. The rescuers arrived in the nick of time to see-a triumphant cat march out of the room with a poor little mouse firmly iixed between his jaws. Eva Morrison, '29, FROM THE OUTSIDE TO THE IN Don't slam that door! Ye gods, the way people slam doors around here is enough to drive a girl crazy. Hey, listen here! Who had that brush Hrst anyway, you or me? I ask ya, you or me? Say, Sally, throw me my white skirt from the foot of my bed. No, the white one. White one. Can't you hear anything? I said the white one. Yeah, that's it. ' Girls! Girls! Please be quiet. You'll all wake Mum. Sally, can't you ever shut drawers after you open them? Some one is likely to jam his leg against the sharp corners. I should think you would bear those things in mind. Louella, give the brush to Maida. She had it first. Tom! Tom! Thomas Hunt Wood, answer me immediately when I speak to you. Leave the sugar alone 'and go iind Dad's carpet slippers. There now, every one keep quiet while I finish getting supper. By the way, how'll I cook the eggs? CONGRESS BROCKTONIA 45 Anne leaned wearily against the door and pushed her wavy hair back from her damp forehead. Fry 'em. Boil 'em. Boil 'em nothin'. Poach 'em. If they're poached, I shan't eat them. Lou, don't talk that way. You'll eat them no matter how I cook them. If not, you can go hungry. Be ready, girls. in ten minutes. Maida. you might just as well take off that thin dress. You've got to dry the dishes for me later. The bedroom door closed after Anne's retreating figure. Say, may I be tarred and feath- ered. boiled in oil. cut by inches. or burned at the stake, if Anne ain't the old cross-patch tonight, Lou muttered as she frowned heavily at Tom who was still engaged in emptying the sugar-bowl into a satin pump held between his four year old knees. Tom. put that sugar back into the bowl and mind what Anne told you. Anne! Anne! her voice rose to a shrill cry. Anne, come make Tom mind. Maida stood before a cracked mir- ror brushing her hair vigorously. So I says, now if I was-Sal. are you listeneing to me ?-So I says . . . and he comes right back and says . . . and I answered him with my face like this and--Tom Wood! what are you doing? Will you quit pour- ing sugar into my pump? Anne! Anne! Come make Tom get out of here. How can I move around with him under my feet all the time? Thomas. if you pour any more sugar into my pump I'll wash your mouth out with soap and slap your fingers. Sally settled the question. Pick- ing the blissful Tom up by the straps of his overalls, she shoved him out into the hall and slammed the door against him. She then walked about the bedroom gathering stray garments which she rolled into a ball and stuffed under the mat- tress. Anne called to them from the kitchen. Supper's on the table. Tom, run get your bib. Maida, call Mum. Sal, get Dad. Lou, put the chairs around the table, The family was at last seated. Louella glanced contemptuously at her plate. Why in time did you scramble the eggs? Darn glad she did. Why can't you ever be satisfied? boomed Mr. Wood from the head of the table. He jerked impatiently at a suspender strap as he scowled at Louella. Because I hate scrambled eggs. that's why. Get supper yourself then for a change, came the quick retort from Anne who was buttering Tom's bread for him. Ma, quick, look at Tom. He's got his fingers in the sauerkraut. Anne, pull them out. Pull them out! Ma, for Pete's sake, make Anne pull his fingers out. Who wants to cat it after his dirty hands have touthed it? Slap his lingers, Anne. Ma, make Anne slap his fingers. Sally, for gosh sakes, shut up, blurted Anne as she shook the strings of sauerkraut from Tom's inquisitive Hngers. I'1l attend to Tom when I feel he needs it. I don't ask for your help either. And now that I've succeeded in crowding a few words in edgewise, let me also say this. You and Maida get in earlier tonight, or I'll sleep on the inside. I'm sick of being awakened when you two crawl over me getting into bed. Oh, quit wrangling, Anne, and pour me more coffee. Hey, come down to earth and pour me more coffee! Some one stick a pin in her and make her come to. Get going. Anne, get going. Anne looked up slowly. She glanced about her before she spoke. pretty You people seem to have good time chattering, don't you? I notice you all have your lines down pretty well.

In the old days, the young swain was always rescuing the fair damsel from some hazard or other, and about all she added to the situation was a swoon or a faint squeal. No more does the fair maiden col- lapse at the sight of danger. No! she swims the English Channel, flys across the Atlantic. or hunts tigers in Africa. How can you help one of the weaker sex if she is su- perior to you in almost every line? Two or three decades ago. people shook their heads and said. Heaven help the poor working girls. Now the poor working girls help them- selves! Ask anyone who knows one. Women are at par with men in every branch of activity. They are in business. in politics, and in ath- letics. It would hardly be worth one's while to wait for the woman sheriff to faint. for the only way she knows how to feint. is with her right. The best way to be of service to the weaker sex nowadays is to get them an ash tray or shake up a cocktail for them. Chivalry is passe. Now there are no obliging subjects who will sub- mit themselves to its treatment, as in the days of old when knights were bold and flappers held no sway. James Stone. '29. REPORT CARDS What a number of different sen- sations we experience when we think about report cards! First, there is that nervous, agonizing feeling which comes to us when we realize that we are soon to see the verdicts of our teachers. Then. there is that tantalizing moment when we hasten to the desk of our home-room teacher and hurry back with our eyes focussed on our cards. Lastly. comes that deep feeling of relief or of grief when we learn whether or not we are sentenced to two months of make-up work. What a number of possibilities enter our minds just before the crucial moment arrives! How many of us spend the last five minutes of Monday's program trying to reckon out our marks! Perhaps our work isn't so poor after all. Now that we consider it, there weren't so many C's received in English during the two months, and there is that eighty which we received in that very difficult French test. Yet. that French teacher is a very hard marker. and she must consider those minor tests in which we received a sixty and even a fifty . There is a dire possibility of a C in French. At last, the time comes when wc must return to our home rooms where we are to receive our cards. Excited. we take our seats. Slowly. the teacher calls the names of the pupils alphabetically. The card is now in our hands, but dread hinders us from looking at it. Yet. curi- osity wins and. with palpitating hearts, we finally summon enough courage to draw the card from its concealment. At first, there is a AFTER DiNNER SPEAKING CLUB BROCKTONIA 49 and a smile of happiness crosses our faces, but the next mark proves to us that we shall not be among the fortunate ones who see their names blazing forth at them in large red print from the front blackboard for all the world to see. NVith this realization. we withdraw the entire card. and the suspense is at an end. Never is a sigh breathed with more relief than it is now. for. whether the results are satisfactory or disappointing. the suspense is over. Why how could that Eng- lish teacher have given us a C on our card when our work for the two months has been so good? Certain- ly, she must bear a grudge against us. How could that French teacher have given us a B in French when there were so many poor marks in tests? Certainly, she must like us. But the greatest certainty of all is, that we shall have to study more during the next two months. Such is the excitement which a mere white card brings to the hearts of many high school students. Julia Holstein, '29, AN APGLOGY FOR POLITE LYING Did you ever tell a polite lie? One which was not so very bad in morals. but saved you much trouble and embarrassment? One which saved you from injuring some0ne's pride and. perhaps. from losing a friend for a silly, fickle reason? Take. for instance. a drawing room in which a singer. or. perhaps. one who thinks she's a singer. is making a debut. Strain after strain of what seems to you agonizing and inexcusable torment issues from the happy one. What a relief comes to you when the last bellow has been reached and passed. Such a relief as a thirsty man would have on discov- ering an oasis in the desert. A few moments later the young lady approaches you and politely asks, in a voice all may hear, Did you enjoy the concert? What would happen if you re- plied that you thought it was aw- ful-terrible? She would burst in- to tears. turn, and dash madly from the room: or stand her ground grandly, with her head high. and call you an insulting scoundrel. or some such phrase. Then you would lose social standing. friends, and be an object of pity. for your lack of knowledge of etiquette. By muttering one single little lie when asked that dreaded ominous question: by merely saying. lt was dee-lightful! you save much trou- ble and unnecessary embarrassment. Take another instance. when your sweetheart or some other dear friend asks you if .you like a hat which she has purchased and prizes highly. If you remark that it looks like a football helmet or that you think she has it on backwards, you may be telling the undeniable truth. but you are committing a very serious and grave offense by injuring some- one's pride. Again. by a simple little exclama- tion of complete approval and a few words complimenting the purchaser on her choice. you can save much trouble. After all, folks, is it so bad to tell a little teeny-weeny lie once in a while for the sake of society? Robert E. Nickerson. '29. A TYPICAL CAVALIER There he stands! A Hgure adorned, shall we say, with all the Hnery of his plumed headgear. stiff lace collar. silken cloak and breeches. and shining boots! His chapeau, tipped at an airy angle. is of fine velvet, made yet more prominent by the bright feather plucked from some oriental pheasant. The erect and carefully pleated neckerchief is of the richly fashioned lace manufactured with naught but the greatest of patience and skill on the part of some obscure Italian lace-maker. The bodily attire is of that superbly decorated silk of a darksome hue the exquisite design of which, at least, is Persian. His high-heeled black leather boots, all a-glitter, as is the CLUB SINESS ADMINISTRATION BU BROCKTONIA '51 belt around his waist, are made of cowhide free from even the tiniest blemish. At his girdle hangs a scabbard sheathing a sabre, the han- dle of which is ebony handsomely inlaid with silver. The pallid face of this nattily garbed man reveals much. Pride, intermingled with personal content- ment, partly on account of his wealth of apparel. partly because of his being one Charles I's favorites. is plainly written on his face and shown in his assumed ait. The dark rings beneath his eyes tell of his wakefulness and excessive dissi- pation. He smiles, nevertheless, and there is no happier or livelier man in the crowd. He stands on the table in King Charles' banquet hall surrounded by the King and by his friends. Vvrith glass in hand he gives a toast to King Charles. Following this he leads the merry fellows in song urg- ing support for the King during the strife. The chorus sings: King Charles, and who'll do him right now? King Charles, and who's ripe for fight now? Give a rouse: here's, in hell's despite now, King Charles! Notwithstanding all of the lady- like delicacy in the man's dress, he possesses, perhaps, one or two manly qualities. He is a cavalier! Stanley Abercrombie. MOTHER God's most beautiful gift was a mother. He gave to a mother eyes that are beyond human comparison. A mother's eyes glitter like an en- chanting lagoon over which the moon always sheds its pools of light: her eyes are never like the stormy sea. but are always placid and calm. These same eyes, with their holy influence, have many-a- time penetrated the soul of a mad and stony-hearted criminal. These eyes. with their divine light, have guided many a weak, poor soul to the heights of bliss. A babe iirst smiles to see the world in its mother's orbs. Your mother's eyes have kept vigil over you night after night. Even Morpheus with all his drowsy-armed legions could not overcome with the weapon of sleep the lovely eyes ofamother. Often has your mother watched peaceful twi- light serenade the weary day, for she knew you would soon be home from school and at her side again. Even now, though you may be far distant. she gazes at the heavens, and, as if conversing with God. pleads that His holy light may shine upon you still. Everything near a mother is strangely beautiful. How innocent and beautiful a baby is! Why does one enjoy looking at a baby? Why does a baby exude a happy spirit? Ls it not because his mother is near y? You have probably been asked: What is the most enchanting word? I have discovered it, A simple word it is, yet powerful and oh, so sweet. God has granted baby the gift of,uttering it as his first word: Mama It is the last word uttered on many a lip. Surely God has preserved the syllables Mother in the hearts of men as a sacred word. Who can realize the greatness of a mother? It is the little silver- haired fellow bent with age, the old man who sits through long hours dreaming of his departed one. At times he seems to have heavenly con- versation with her. Often. he en- ters the little chamber that once was his mother's and reclines in the old chair that mother always occupied. He gazes at the bureau, at other things that once were her possessions. Now his glance wanders up the wall until it meets a photograph! Oh! It is the picture of his beloved mother. How beautiful she is! Surely, she is an angel of God. Joseph F. Miskinis, '29.

THE ART OF BEING LAZY Just a lazy day to lie around and do nothing but fish, a rod resting upon my knees, line trailing listless- ly in the still water. Not a bite, but who cares? All the time in the world to do nothing in. and trying my best to do it. The proverbial lisherman's pa- tience-is it anything more than luxurious laziness? Try it and find out. The more material matters of the world fade into the distance as I sit and build magnificent air-castles. But. alas, it all has an end: I can't live in an air-castle forever. The first intimation of this fact is a sub- tle gnawing at my vitals. persisting until I begin to realize that I might do with a little nourishment. Put- ting away my dreams and fishing equipment for another day, I settle down to the task or re-arranging my schedule for tomorrow. Edward A. Sabin. MY FIRST HLGNGIESH A determined jaw and an assumed majestic bearing was the way I clothed my innermost quakings, the day I wore my first longies to school. The moment I entered with the borrowed make-up . I heard a buzz and a hum. Prickly things played tag with my backbone while little drummers beat out jazz tunes in my temples. I tried to be nonchalant but I couldn't light a Murad since school is school. My temperature soared to IO4 as my heart did double flip- flops. My knees shook like a Hulu- dancer's. Then She looked at me and only then did I realize what an Apollo I was! A tug at my tie and a hitch at my belt and I was once again in perfect condition . Throw- ing out my chest and sticking my hand in my trouser pocket, I smiled down at 'AHer from my great height, live feet five inches exactly: while She breathed a sigh and gazed lovingly on my elegance. MY AMBITION AT PRESENT To obtain a driving license is now my chief ambition in life. for it seems to me that a person who is able to drive ought to be the hap- piest individual in the world. In order that I may reach the aforemen- tioned state of sublimity, I am using all my powers of persuasion to in- veigle different people into teaching me the correct way to handle a car. When my brother is home from col- lege on a vacation. I suddenly be- come most obsequious and shower him with favors. .Ioyous am I if he has even fifteen minutes to spend in showing me how to turn corners without scraping the tires against the curbstone. My brother's time is so limited. however, that I cannot de- pend upon him as a teacher if I am to get my license soon. How about your father? I am asked by my gen- tle reader. Unfortunately my father's presence at my side does not have a quieting effect on me: I seem to lack confidence in myself as I see his hand continually hovering over the emergency brake. I fear that the only way of fulfilling my ambition lies in acquiring what is commonly known as a boy friend who will teach me to drive. Shall I advertise? Marion Leonard, '3O.

BROCKTONIA STAFF CBy a Seniorj This is the last issue of Brock- tonia That we shall ever see As students of Brockton High School, And how sorry we shall be. So let us now give to the staff. A rousing, rousing cheer- For all that they have done for us Throughout this swift-fled year. First comes our Editor-in-Chief, She's just a little girl. But think of all the work she's done, She's precious as a pearl. The next one coming down the line, The Assistant Editor is this, Another Estelle but this one Is a tall and pretty miss. And then our Managing Editor. You all know him, I guess, Who else is it but Lester, A basketball star, no less! For all the wonderful pictures That took long hours to do, We can thank both Matthew Billy Who did it all for you. and l'm sure you know, Larry, Ex- change man, A very cheerful lad, Who did his bit to make this book The best we ever had. Perhaps the part we enjoy the most. Are the humorous stories told, This is the work of Stanley, He's worth his weight in gold! SEWING CLUB BROCKTONIA 57 Three took charge of Business. Margaret, Eddy and Ruth. They're certainly capable people. And you know I'm telling truth. the Then our Alumni editor. A cute little miss is she. Madeline's done a lot of work. As surely all can see. A bit for the Sports editors. Billy and Helen are they. They've kept their notes right up to date Two very smart people. we'll say. Last but not least on Brocktonia staff. Are the class editors, four. They also have done their best To make us enjoy this book more. And now to end the story. Let's give a little praise To the Treasurer and Adviser Both time and work they gave. Also to the contributors Who racked their tired-out brains. To write a poem or story And not even a thanks for their pains! Mary Boland, '29. WHEN GOD WAS NEAR Oh! The beauty of that scene. It fairly took my breath away. Seems as if I'd never seen God's presence in such array. The blue of the shining sky was naught But the canopy o'er his chair. And the bower of the roses wrought But the glory of his hair. I found in lilies pure as snow The soul of Jesus resting there. While passion held me in its throes I plucked the tender blossoms, fair. Madelaine Paul, '29.

ON HEARING CARL SANDBURG With the new century, and the Boyish bobs, and the ukeleles. there Came a poet with a boyish bob: Only he plays a guitar Instead of a ukelele. He also plays with words And jumbles up queer connections That are. Sometimes. Very nice, and most of the time They are good poems. He is as evasive as the Flickering flame on a cigar lighter. Or as elusive as the pigskin On a football field. or as bright As the daifodilly color of a scram- bled egg. And most of the time he writes Good poems. Although some of the time I think He thinks he can fool us. Mr. Sandburg. quit your kidding. Sometimes in a city there are no tall buildings. Then a skyscraper, terribly tower- ing, is Erected. Perhaps there is more important business Going on in the old, short buildings While the new skyscraper is filled with Empty offices. ' But still. the skyscraper is so impos- ing And terribly towering, that it seems terribly Important and perhaps that is why it Is important after all.

AGRICULTURAL CLUB BROCKTONIA 59 BY THE SEA I sat by the sea when the sun shone bright And flooded its depths with a blaze of light, And the golden sheen and the emer- ald green Like gems in the crown of a fairy queen Flashed forth in glittering splen- dor: And the soft winds sighed o'er the shining tide, And the murm'ring waves to the breeze replied In tones that were low and tender. I stood by the sea when the moon was high, And the stars shone out from the midnight sky. And a wondrous sight was that shimmering light That flashed from the crests of the surges bright, Like stars in a trembling motion: And the moon's soft ray on the waters lay And its gleaming track made a bright high-way Across the slumbering ocean. I stood by the sea when the light- ning flashed, And the waves ran high, and the thunder crashed, And the blinding spray. that was dashed away By the howling wind. in the furious fray, Brought death to the hardy toiler: When the ship at last by the stormy blast A dismantled wreck on the rocks was cast. A prey to the ruthless spoiler. The beautiful sea! The treacherous sea! A joy and a terror it is to me. A beautiful sight, by day or by night, ls the tranquil sea, by whose margin bright The fisherman loves to wander: A terrible thing when its rage doth bring The angel of death with his sable wing To darken the homesteads yonder. Frances Hale, '29, START NOW Do you ever sit by your window As the people are passing along, The men. the women, the children, Who go by in that endless throng? There are some who look oh, so happy. D The? are some that look terribly sa . I am sure there are some that are good. I suppose there are some that are bad. I used to sit by my window And watch the crowds go by, And after having watched them I used to wonder why He made some of us so good. Made some of us so bad, Made some of us so happy. Made some of us so sad. Yet after having wondered I've finally decided that He Gives us all an equal start, And then He waits to see l-low we'll come home at the finish, For we run the race, not He. So start right at the beginning. And run the best race you know how, Don't wait 'till you get to the finish, But begin your sprint right now. Charles Eaton, '30. SPEECH The sun never calls Nor speaks aloud, Wrapped in her mantle Warm and proud. Moon, too, is silent. Casually showing Her worldly wisdom, Aloof, all-knowing. The stars cry aloud.

AERO CLUB BROCKTONIA 61 HOMESTEAD Not even a house, nay, it's barely a shack And it nestles in meadows and heather Sccluded. away off the hard-beaten track Yet, it's stood up through all kinds of weather. It has basked in the warmth of old Sol's cheery smile, And the blue skies have spread themselves o'er it, But it's better to me than a castle of tile And marble. with golden walls in lt. There, children have frolicked, and lived. and grown old With troubles, and gladness and care Then death. with her sickle so grue- some and cold, Has touched the old home with despair. The crass proiiteers snear and say Clear it off But to me there is no better ways To show we love things thereof, Than to let the stay. A. Estqlle Brusseau. '29. ' NIGHT How novel is the parlance they hold Yogether, my spirit and l' Esprit de la Nuit. So whimsical are the mysteries, yet virtue and all old homestead so cold By which they carry me into In- Iinity. O Night! in you there is nothing to detest, In your darkness and shadows, nothing to fear: Your wings, so black beneath, are blest: The stars that peep through them show light is near. Some visualize Night as if it were a power: Created and existing but to tan- talize the imagination With evil fears. To me 'tis as a flower: 'Its freshness, and fragrant per- fumes are my elation. Earthly mortals may sleep in tran- quility: Their fears are fantastic-Night is a reality. Jeannette A. Belanger, '29. HIGHLIGHTS OF MY CALIFORNIA TRIP By Katharyn Loheed, '30 Part Two Ed. Note: In the Spring issue we were given the interesting account of Miss Loheed's arrival in Pasa- dena. Here we have the concluding part of her tripi As we were rather excited about our new surroundings we arose early the next morning and started for a walk. Looking from the back of the house up the road about half a mile. we could see the lofty Sierra Nevadas, which appeared like a high wall behind us. Miles below us and off in the distance lay Los.iAngeles. During our morning walk, the heat was excessive, but we gradually grew somewhat accustomed to it. As school was to begin in about .1 week I enrolled. I was much im- pressed by the fact that the high school boasted six buildings, a swimming pool, a football and base- ball Held, and eight tennis courts. The grounds were so large that at iirst I thought perhaps the institu- tion was California Technology and not just Pasadena High School and Junior College. School hours were much longer there. and at Iirst, the school day seemed very monotonous and drawn out. Periods were one hour in length. The school session running from eight o'clock until two thirty or three thirty, depending upon whether a student carried five or six periods. At noon, we had a half hour for lunch, and then a half hour for advisory period. The hardest thing for me to accept was the fact that there were no study periods, and that every subject came every day. Gymnastics was one of the most interesting, as we enjoyed ten- nis, swimming, basketball, and ap- paratus work. ORCHESTRA BROCKTONIA 63 One of my great trials was that practically every other day during those first two weeks, some scholarly looking person would approach me and demand, Where is your tie? Upon hearing my pitiful answer, I'm new in the school, and not used to wearing'ties, they forgave me. but warned me not to act like a freshman. One interesting feature was the honor system: that is, when a person is absent, he goes to the at- tendance office, and signs a slip which says, As a loyal P. H. S. student. I was absent and my par- ents knew of my illness. If there was doubt about a pupil, the school officials would telephone the par- ents, and make sure his excuse was good. This system seemed to work very well, and few were dishonest about it. Several days throughout the year were especially significant. The first and foremost was Old Clothes Day in memory of the time when the pupils had come to school dressed to build the bleachers in preparation for a football game. The pupils could wear any funny old costumes, and those who did not appear oddly garbed were scored. Anxious to witness this unusual event I was at school early. with camera in hand. to catch anything amusing. Such modes of transportation I had never before seen assembled. Pupils were driven up in old cars, motorcycles. carts, baby carriages, farm wagons. and other ridiculous contraptions. Classes were exceedingly informal affairs, because of the exclamations over costumes. Another amusing day was Shoe Shine Day when all over the campus. one spied little stands. with huge umbrellas over them. All the heads of activities and popular students of- fered to shine shoes for the sum of ten cents. At noon, the principal rewarded the bootblack who had shined most by polishing his or her shoes before the other pupils on the front steps! Still another day was,Lollypop Day, which was happily anticipated, as one could enter class sucking lollypops. If a pupil was busily en- gaged in trying to swallow a bit of the sweet. he might miss having to recite on where Caesar helped the Helvetians, or some other equally important fact. Although you may think there were plenty of good times, we did really work, for both mid-years and finals were required in this school. There were over forty clubs in the school and twice a week, instead of advisory periods, assemblies were held. Each club had charge of an assembly, and tried for a silver cup awarded for the most interesting program. I went on several mountain trips, once to the top of Mt. Wilson, where the largest telescope in the world is located. A half mile from where I lived was a street lined on either side with deodar evergreens for the distance of a mile. At Christmas time these were profusely decorated with lights. These trees are very famous, and people come from far and near to see them. During Christmas week, we ascended Mt. Lowe, taking the in- clined railway which runs up half way. From there, we took horses at the tavern, and rode to the top. While at the summit, we looked down and noticed that the lights had just flashed on Christmas Tree Drive. The effect was beautiful with the lights of Pasadena sharply outlined against the dimness of the valley. A trip to Catalina Island was most interesting. especially because of the glass bottomed boats, through which one can see the marvelous sea weed growth, rocks, shells, and fish. We visited the home of Wrig- ley, which is on the top of a high hill, and also saw the Indian adobe house of Zane Grey. A visit to Hollywood, of course was eagerly anticipated. The studios were very interesting, but a trifle dis- appointing. I saw several well- known actors and actresses, among them Mary Pickford, who owns a BAND BROCKTONIA 65 magnificent estate in Beverly Hills, called Pickfair. The Chinese Theatre in Hollywood was a won- derful piece of Oriental architecture: in the cement in front of the theatre can be seen the footprints of all the famous stars who have performed there. April vacation was spent in a trip to the desert. The huge sand dunes and the blueness of the Salton Sea in contrast were very beautiful. The desert Howers. with their strangely vivid colors, and the graceful date palms relieved the monotony of the scenery. At night. the yells of the coyotes seemed very different from the usual rattling of street cars. Pasadena's Tournament of Roses. held New Year's day. has made the city known throughout the United States. The parade of flowers is a gorgeous spectacle and crowds line the streets and windows of build- ings to watch it pass. Glendale has won first place for many years for having the most beautiful float, and this year again secured the trophy. School graduation was a most im- portant event. It was held in the Rose Bowl. which was beautifully arranged as a Greek amphitheater. It was a marvelous spectacle to see six hundred students crossing the grass among the white pillars, car- rying baskets of roses, and mount- ing the platform to receive their di- plomas. Two days after graduation, we left for the East. Going north, we spent two days in San Francisco. see- ing the most important things there. The third day we boarded the train which was to be our home as far as Chicago. Our first stop was at Salt Lake City where we visited the fa- mous Mormon Temple. From Utah we proceeded over the dizzy Ten- nessee Pass and through the Royal Gorge, where the cliffs rise almost perpendicular on each side of the train. Later we passed Pike's Peak and the three collegiate, snow- capped mountains. known as Prince- ton. Harvard. and Yale. From Den- ver we journeyed to Chicago. One day there was spent in shopping and sightseeing. On arriving in Boston the next day, we felt that although we had thoroughly enjoyed our Western so- journ, there was -really no place like home after all. Katharyn Loheed, '30. A man purchased some red flannel shirts guaranteed not to shrink. He reminded the salesman forcibly of the guarantee some weeks later. Have you had any difficulty with them? the latter asked. 'No. replied the customer, only the other morning when I was dress- ing my wife said to me, 'John, when did you buy that coral necklace? is wk wk is Sadie: I'm going out to buy a book.

April 12. The first prize for girls was won by Helen Mc- Kenney of the Senior class. who gave an excellent presentation of Thomas Carlyle's Address to the Students at Edinburgh . Second prize went to Anna Kaplan. a sophomore. who presented Jean ValJean , by Victor Hugo. For the boys the first prize Went to Shawn Sheehan, a senior. whose very fine rendition of Robert Emmet's speech from the Dock . gave him the unanimous vote of the judges. The boys' second prize went to a sophomore, Ben Seetoo, who delivered Napoleon the Little , by Victor Hugo. Much credit is due Master Seetoo. Coming from China in 1921 he did not know any Eng- lish. but. by taking advantage of the great opportunities that American schools offer to those who are hard- working and ambitious. he has mas- tered the English language to a high degree. The English teachers of these pupils deserve a great deal of credit. They are as follows: Helen Mc- Kenney, Miss L. Ruth Cosgrove: Shawn Sheehan, Miss Edith C. Alden: Anna Kaplan. Miss Rosalind Bray: Ben Seetoo, Miss Catharine A. Tuttle. The other four contestants also did excellent work and were very close to the prize winners. The other competitors and their selections were as follows: Joan Masterson, The River of Stars , by Alfred Noyes: Marie Clifford, The Vintage , by Silvia C. Bates: William Lyons.

HEADS OF ACTIVITIES In spite of the fact that the Heads of Activities has less to accomplish than the other clubs. we have been quite active. In our few meetings the recess dances were assigned, and the activity B's were votd for, and later distributed. The last thing that was undertaken was the Activity Social which was very successful. both financially and socially. The sur- plus money is to be used for our cut in Brocktonia. I'm sure our presi- dent, James Doherty, and other members will agree with me that we have had very successful meetings, accomplishing our duties, and having a good time while doing it. Zaida M.

The decorations were exceedingly dainty, being pink streamers with lavendar and gold flowers. As centerpiece on the main table stood a miniature girl graduate in cap and gown. with a diploma clutched in her hand. Headmaster Rye and Superintend- ent Sculley were special guests. Mrs. Hasting Hawks, toastmistress. Mrs. G. Of Perkins. Mrs. J. P. Shaw, and Mrs. W. E. Shaw all spoke most in- terestingly.

HONOR BOYS' BANQUET On Thursday, April 25, a group of one hundred and eighty-nine honor students from the High and Junior High Schools attended the annual Rotary Club Honor Boys' Banquet at which they were pre- sented with certificates by Superin- tendent Sculley. Mr. Frank W. Wright spoke inspiringly on the 3 C's-Character. Culture, and Citizenship. After the dinner. Presi- dent Laird welcomed the boys, and Mr. I. S. Kibrick, chairman of the committee on boys' work. gave a wholesome talk. Music, including Brockton High songs, was enjoyed. The meeting was closed with a speech of thanks on the part of the boys by James J. Doherty. My dear, we've simply got to change our family doctor. He's so absent-minded. Why. this afternoon he was examining me with the steth- oscope and while he was listening he suddenly called out, 'Hellol Who is this speaking? 4: fr wk ak I met your husband today and he was telling me that he is in love with his work.

N QHEE WOMAN'S O CLUB HEARTS' SENIOR CLASS PLAY On Friday evening, April 26. l929, a group of Shakespearean act- ors, my mistake. the Senior class, pre- sented The Taming of the Shrew. Those who did not see the play may wonder at my saying Shakes- pearean actors. but those who saw it. do not. We, of B. H. S.. know the diffi- culty of Shakespeare's lines and then marvel at the way the players pre- sented them. Behind the presentation could be seen hours of hard work on the part of the players as well as on the part of the coach. Miss Ruth Stokes. and the faculty advisor Miss Grace Stud- ley. Many gasps of admiration were heard in the audience as the curtain went up on each new scene. The scenery was excellent, thanks to Mr. Wm. Montgomery and his corps of scene-shifters. The students whose good work went to make the play a success were: Katherine the Shrew, Estelle Brusseau: Petruchio, her lover, Ray- mond Campion: Baptiste, her father, Theodore Froeberg: Bianca, her sis- ter, Dorothy Barnes: Lucentio and Hortensio, suitors for Bianca's hand, Bernard McHugh and Carleton Bur- rill: Tranio and Biondello, servants to Lucentio, Leroy Wood and Joseph Miskinisz Grumio, servant to Petruchio, Robert Cox: Gremio. suitor for Bianca, Kenton Farrell: Vincencio, father of Lucentio, Wal- ter Nardelli: Pedant, Tony Pro- copio: servants in Petruchio's house.

An enjoyable Hallowe'en party was held at the home of Eleanor O'Connor. The Christmas party was at the home of Madelon Britton. Zaida Snow, our president, will en- tertain us at her home for the final meeting. There next year's presi- dent will be chosen. During our guest afternoon our club members gave a very fine min- strel show. Miss Eleanor O'Connor was the able directress. During an- other guest afternoon Mr. Wooster spoke facts on Story-telling. Madelon E. Britton, 'Sec'y. GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The presentation of the comic opera The Two Vagabonds, was successfully given by the combined Glee Clubs and orchestra. Much credit is due to Mr. George Sawyer Dunham, the musical director, and also to Mr. Lord, the coach. There was a large attendance at the dance given by the Club. The Girls' Glee Club ended the season of 1928-29 the night of the opera. Kathleen Finn, Sec'y. THE ORCHESTRA The Brockton High School Or- chestra took first place at the Massa- chusetts State Band and Orchestra Contests and Festival in Newton on May 11. In the afternoon all the bands and orchestras that took part in the contests played together. As a result of winning the contest, the orchestra will go to Boston, May 18, to try to win the first place for or- chestras in the New England Music Festival. The orchestra hopes to keep. for another year. the prize that it won last year. At the Senior Class play, the or- chestra played old-fashioned music, selected by Mr. Dunham. Hazel Morrill, Sec'y. THE EDISON SCIENCE CLUB The Edison Science Club has held some very interesting meetings since our last report. The club visited the Simpson Spring plant and greatly enjoyed seeing the steps taken in pre- paring and bottling the several kinds of tonics. We have also had some interesting talks and demonstrations by mem- bers of the club and also by members of the faculty. The recess dance, held recently, was a success. Plans are being made for many more interesting trips and lectures. Respectfully submitted, Kenneth Buker, Sec'y. CHAMPIONS HOCKEY SENIOR GIRLS, BROCKTONIA 79 AFTER DINNER SPEAKING CLUB No doubt you are as glad as we are that the After Dinner Speaking Club program for opening exercises is a matter of ancient history. The week following the program. how- ever, brought numerous notes com- plimenting the fellows upon their most excellent showing. I under- stand that Ernest Blumberg received countless bits of scented paper from feminine Seniors bearing words wholly defiant of his views of mar- riage. V As a result of our success in Brock- ton, an opportunity arose to give the students of Stoughton High a treat by way of producing our pro- gram there. Contrary to our expec- tations that all our advice would be readily swallowed, some intelligent students professed their profound disbelief in some of Larry Heath's statements. particularly concerning the revolving door-mat. How- ever, some smiling damsels in the front row keyed Orie Oulette to the point of excellency. Also. when Sheehan expounded mathematics, many algebra and geometry books received countless disgusted glances. When the program was finished, Orie thanked the audience for its audible applause and its tacit appre- ciation shown on many shining faces. At these words of well-meant praise.' some twenty-five powder puffs were brought into immediate use. Since we were so successful in sur- viving the ordeal in Stoughton. Mr. Randall arranged for our program in Hrst year ethics. We readily agreed. for First Years always make a recep- tive audience-whether they show it or not. Before we had finished, we realized the necessity of telling the innocent pupils that applause is per- mitted. and even appreciated. When Blumberg cracked one of his jokes on proposals, the audience deigned a smile which nearly caused Blumberg to forget the rest of his speech. After Orie's closing anec- dote, the applause was deafening. I do not wonder why, since the second bell had already rung. Recently, Mr. Randall informed us that a certain radio broadcasting station had been begging him for weeks to broadcast his excellent pro- gram. After much deliberation and numerous conferences with our presi- dent, he condescended to entertain the world for a half-hour with the understanding that no one would in- terrupt the program with applause. As there is no immediate danger that we would receive any tangible com- pliments during the broadcasting, we have agreed to take the air. So by the time that you have read this report, WEEI will have had the honor of having the Brockton High School After Dinner Speaking Club broadcast from their studio. Lawrence Nelson, Sec'y. BAND The Brockton High School Band. under the direction of Mr. Frederick Lewis and under the faculty super- vision of Mr. Stephen Cote, has had a very successful season. During the last two months, be- sides holding regular rehearsals every Friday, the Band has furnished music for the Gilmore Prize Speaking Con- test on the evening of April 12. To climax a year of faithful prac- tice. the Band won fourth prize in the Massachusetts Band and Orches- tra Contest. This affair was held at Claflin Field. Newton, Saturday, May l lth. In recognition of its per- formance in the competition. music was presented to the Band by Arthur Pryor of New York, guest conductor for the occasion. The engagements of the Band terminate with the Class Day exer- cises on Eldon B. Keith Field, for which music will soon be rehearsed. XVe are looking forward to even a more successful season next year and sincerely hope that many new candi- dates will enroll. John Cowan, Sec'y.

Club Notes Continued from page 7Q GERMAN CLUB As another year draws to a close, the members of Der Deutsch Verein recall the many blissful times spent during das Jahr . The meetings this year have been mainly parties and we certainly did have fun! Five business meetings were held in Room 25 to determine new rules, set dates for informal gatherings, and deter- mine the purchasing of the school gift. However, in the words of our President: Trial examinations have played havoc with available dates for club meetings. On March 16. a musical meeting was held at the home of Louise Theodora Shukis, 139 Bellevue Avenue. Hyman Simon and Mayo Sorgman played piano duets. while Dick Hillberg recited interesting facts on the lives of composers. Ruth Munroe. Ruth Skillings, Virginia Range, and Rose Atkins presented some skilful German interpretive dancing, while Tony Procopio and Alec Stozlsonski led the games. As a fitting close to the program. Louise Shukis and Lionel C. Barent pre- sented an amusing skit. Refresh- ments were served. President Yourkewicz is consult- ing President Carleton P. Burrill of the French Club: a joint picnic at the shore, in charge of our advisers, Misses Long and Hodge, is being planned. A committee, consisting of Richard Hollberg, Louise Shukis, and Joseph Miskinis is busy with a program for it. On the whole, thanking its ad- viser, Miss Margaret A. Long for her interest and help throughout the year, the club extends to the gradu- ating class its wishes for a happy fu- ture. and hopes that the new mem- bers will be successful. ' Estelle L. Katz, Sec'y. ALPHA TAU SOCIETY The Girls' Alpha Tau Society have just concluded a very interest- ing and instructive year. During the last two months there have been several informal debates, entertain- ment furnished by various members of the club, and an excellent speaker in person of Mrs. Armitage, the Brockton policewoman. Plans are being made for a club picnic, to be held during the earlier part of June. The outing will be held at South Duxbury. at the summer residence of one of the members. All High School girls are cordially invited to join the society next fall. Respectfully submitted. Virginia Low, Sec'y. BROCKTONIA 83 A FRENCH CLUB The French Club held its April meeting Friday. the twelfth, in Room 30 at 3 o'clock. After the usual reports had been given, a short dialogue entitled Le Maitre et l'eleve was well given. with Walter Nardelli as the teacher and Chester Starr as pupil. A vocal solo, Le Couer de ma mie, by Annie Skaves accompanied on the piano by Louise Noel. was well received. A short comedy sketch. Une Consultation Chez le Docteur was pleasingly presented by Ernest Butkus and Simon Vismin. The French Club Orchestra then pleased with several selections. After playing a game un- der the direction of Gertrude Laird, the members concluded the meeting with the singing of The Marseill- aise. On the afternoon of May seventh, the club presented, before a very appreciative audience, a program of entertainment, the main feature of which was a one-act vaudeville L'Anglais tel qu'on le Parle by Tristan Bernard. The cast for this sketch was as follows: Julien Cicandel Carleton Burrill Eugene, interpreter John Sanderson Police Inspector Walter Nardelli Waiter Simon Vismin l-logson Lawrence Nelson Policeman Shawn Sheehan Betty Sophie Lederer Cashier Eva Morrison This program also included songs by the entire club. including Federa- tion and La Marseillaisef' Thorn-rose Waltz by Gounod, rendered by a trio consisting of Wil- liam Lulow, Chester Starr. and Joseph Sugarman. a monologue, i'Solo de Flute. by Carleton Fisher, and a song Le Coeur de m'amie by Annie Skaves. The French Club Orchestra also rendered several selec- tions. Admission was charged. The play and Miss Skaves' solo were repeated the following morning in Opening Exercises, and were very enthusiastically received by the stu- dent body. At the coming May meeting the chief features are to be a one-act comedy sketch entitled La Som- nambulef' with Julia Holstein, Blanche Brown, Louise Noel, Alice Cleary, Anne Maguire, Jeannette Belanger, Gertrude Laird, and Made- lon Britton participating, and an amusing little play L'Enfant Vote by eight boys, two of whom are to take feminine roles. The year's program will close with our annual picnic, which will be planned at our next meeting. With the May meeting the French Club will have completed a most successful yea-r. Starting with an unusually large membership list and several waiting-list members, the Club has held the interest of these members throughout the year, so that the attendance at every meeting has been highly gratifying. Every member of the organization will have taken some especial part in at least one program this year, the re- sult being a noticeable growth of our knowledge of French. The members wish to take this occasion to thank Miss Hodge, fac- ulty advisor, for the tireless eH'orts which she has expended in our be- half. Madelon Britton. Sec'y. THE SEWING CLUB The Sewing Club is closing one of its most successful years, during which the members have obtained many pleasures and benefits. Much work has been completed throughout the year under the care- ful supervision of our instructor. Miss French. During the past few months so- cials have been held, and the club is now planning a house party to be held at Swift's. Beach some time in June. Attractive club pins. bearing the club initials and year, have been or- dered. The members are looking forward with enthusiasm to an even more in- teresting and successful season next year.

BROCKTONIA 87 NATIONAL TOURNAMENT AT CHICAGO Brockton High Wins Consolation Tourney Although eliminated by Granite High of Salt Lake City in the first round of the National Basketball Tournament, sponsored by the Uni- versity of Chicago, the Red and Black set right down to work and succeeded in bringing home the gold basketball symbolic of the cham- pionship of the Consolation Tournament. in which the losing teams of the first round took part. In the first game the Shoe City five couldn't get used to the enormous floor space fthe gym was 94 feet longj and the western style of play- ing and consequently lost to Gran- ite.. But we are offering no alibis. The western quintet was very good. Yet B. H. led at the half 12-ll and midway in the third period was out in front by 5 points. The Utah marksmen, however, came back steadily to take the victory, 29-25. In the final period, many Brockton shots were so-called heart-breakers --those that roll around the hoop and fall out. and fall-out.

The Staff-coached five led at the half 19-10, but they were outscored by the end of the next quarter 10-2, leading them only 21-20. The final period was fast, with plenty of basketball. With only a minute to go the score stood tied: Swish Almquist pulled his team ahead with a floor goal and then Smolensky added a foul. The game ended before more damage could be effected. The Red and Black's five was getting accustomed to the huge playing space and was aiming high at the title. With each game the crowd became more and more in favor of our quintet, who played a brand of ball that was out- standing in all departments.

Ill. The Red and Black had the huge crowd behind them from the outset. The Illinois team tried a de- fensive game, trying to make Brock- ton move first always, but the Red and Black played Morton's own game to beat them l7-lO. Morton won the National championship in l927 but was completely outclassed by our Bay State boys. The West- erners playing a slow breaking at- tack were held to 3 floor baskets. B. H.

Under the guidance of Mathew Nichols, a golf team has been created in Brockton. Their schedule calls for twelve matches, seven of which have been played to date. The red and black are faring as well as can be ex- pected. More than 35 boys turned out as candidates, and at present quite a formidable aggregation constitutes the squad. Matches have been held with such teams as Thayer Academy. Tabor Academy, Quincy High, and other teams of estimable repute. Of course, we know that Coach Nichols will, in a brief time, be turning out championship teams, keeping up with the standards of Brockton High School. MILTON ACADEMY OUT- CLASSED IN TRACK MEET, 45M -BZLQ Red and Black Grab First Outdoor Meet-Oulette Nabs Two Firsts In a real close meet, Brockton won its initial start in outdoor track. The affair was nip and tuck until the high jump, in which the Red and Black garnered 8M points. Orie Oulette, turned in an excel- lent day's performance, netting two firsts, in the 120 low hurdles and in the high jump. Dodge of Milton also landed two events, the hundred and 220. Charlie Fuller easily took the 440 while Mal Stevens was landing first place in the shot put. The Red and Black were shut out TRACK TEAM BROCKTONIA 91 in the 880. It seems as though for the last two years Coach Chamber- lain has been unable to get hold of a good half-miler. B. H. S. has been quite weak in this event. In the high jump, Butkus and Hilliard tied for top honors. each clearing 5 feet 4 inches. Ross, Brock- ton, and Swift. Milton, tied for third, an inch less than the other two jumped.

Alice Norton tallied the basket, while Elsie Cooney made both of the foul shots.

The president, Lawrence Nelson, introduced Mrs. Frank Kelley, the speaker of the afternoon, who gave a very interest- ing talk on modern poets and poetry. Members of the club afterward served ice cream and cake and enjoyed a social hour. On April 9, the club met in the School Library. The regular busi- ness meeting was held, and the presi- dent announced that the club would sell candy at the Senior Class Play. The meeting was then turned over to Helen McKenney, chairman of the committee for essay afternoon. David Eizenberg sketched the life of Michel De Montaigne and traced the history of the essay.

CONGRESS Congress has had a very interest- ing and successful year. We have held discussions and debates on all subjects of current interest. through which our members have became en- lightened not only on what is going on in the world, but also proficient in the art of debating and public speaking and have learned the rudi- ments of parliamentary law. The debating team, which is sponsored by Congress. has also passed through an unprecedentedly successful year, winning its two de- bates, one with Manchester on the extremely intricate McNary-Haugen Bill, and the second with Brown Freshmen on the Jury System. This was the first time the Brockton High School had ever debated with a col- lege team and so this made the result even more gratifying. Both debates were unusually well attended and put Congress on a firm financial basis so that next year with an increased membership we are sure to have an even more successful year. Reuben Goodman, Sec'y. AERO CLUB Throughout the year. the Brock- ton High School Aero Club has been meeting every'Monday in Room No. l with President George J. Malouin in charge. Under the excellent su- pervision of Mr. Edwin A. Nelson, the members, at the first of the year, learned to construct flying models. As time has passed, we have become quite expert in the making of these tiny planes. Probably the premier event of the year was the contest at Brockton Fair. The members of our club took nearly every prize open to them. One big purpose in the club is to promote a spirit of air-mindedness. To achieve this, about half of each meeting has been.spent in discussing current topics of aviation. At one time several of the members made a careful study of gliders and gliding. The reports of those attending the Technology lecture Why An Aero- plane Flies and the Open House at M. I. T. were very interesting as well as of value to those members not fortunate enough to attend. Although the club is one of the smallest and newest of the clubs in the school, success and growth are as- sured if members such as this year's fill the places of those graduating. The interest has been very marked by the fact that every member has built not one but several successful flying models. Any boys interested in following aviation either at a college or train- ing school should not neglect to join this club next year and derive the benefits of an early knowledge of the principles of flight. Respectfully submitted. Walter McCutcheon, Sec'y-Treas. AGRICULTURE CLUB This year has been a very success- ful one for one of the oldest, as well as one of the largest of the clubs of the school. The hrst main event on the program of the Agriculture Club was the exhibit at the Fair. The ex- hibits of this year were among the best ever shown. The club has met, not only in Room No. 36. but also at the City Hall. in Mr. Scully's office, and at the homes of two members. A most enjoyable Thanksgiving party was held at the home of Ervin Snow. ln February a very enjoyable eve- ning was spent at the home of Allan Lind. At most of the evening meet- ings there are some members of years gone-by who help to make the meet- ing interesting by telling their ex- periences.

On May 10, sev- eral members attended the High School Day exercises at Massachu- setts Agricultural College. The success of the club is largely due to the excellent supervision of Miss Annie L.

I-Ier untir- ing efforts to promote an interest in gardening are surely recognized by all those who have had any contact with her, especially the Agriculture Club. Walter McCutcheon. Sec'y Pro Tempore. From the Outside to the In- Continued from page 45 years, too, by the way. I've decided that I'm sick of being a daughter of Amos Wood who is head janitor of the West Corner Church, and Mrs. Amos Wood who is a scrub-woman of the same. I get so sick of hearing Sally yell at Lou, Lou yell at Maida, and Maida yell at Tom, that I'd join a circus to get away from it. I get so sick of seeing Dad hang around in soiled shirts and suspenders that I'd drown to get away from it. There's no class in the family, no distinction, no nothing. We're common, all of us. If none of you care, I do. I deserve more than I ever got around here. When Mr. Reed offered me a course in design- ing, I jumped at the chance. I did- n't consult you people because I knew you would all fuss. Anyway, it'll do you good to work for your- selves for a change. I leave tomor- row morning. Mr. Reed says that Maida can have my present job if she proves capable. . . The curtain rang down after the last act. Anne, slipping into her wrap. spoke over her shoulder. Do you know, Rob, I rather think I'm like that girl. I'm minus one big thing in life. I have moments of depression which I can't seem to shake off and yet I can't find out their cause. I can tell by the expres- sion in your face just what you're going to say. That any girl with wealth and fame ought not to be un- happy. No matter what you say, you can't convince me that that is all success is made of. Shall we go? . . . The theater slowly emptied. Janitors were moving about the wide aisles pushing great piles of dirt and programs up the auditorium. In the marble corridor a woman was on her hands and knees scrubbing the huge squares at the head of the staircase. Under her breath she softly hummed a tune. and a smile lightened her broad, homely face as a pleasant thought sifted through her mind. Outside, as she was about to step into her car, Anne paused. My bag. Rob? I must have left it in the box. I'll go back with you. They re-entered the theater. At the head of the stairs. Anne stopped. Her eyes were upon the woman. Look, Rob, she whispered. A woman working on her hands and knees at one o'clock in the morn- ing! - A scrub-woman. my dear, an- swered Rob, as he steered her to the opposite side of the hall. Why, Rob, what a snob you are, Anne said as she looked at him in wide-eyed amazement. My dear Anne, persisted Rob in the same tone, I said she was merely a scrub-woman. Anne bit her lip. But a woman nevertheless. After all, we are the same under the outer crust. Aren't we? She is hardly elevating. None of what we call class or, well, dis- tinction. What I mean to say, Anne, she isn't up to your level. Anne looked at 'him quietly- steadily. Then she turned. I'm going to speak to her. Her jeweled heels clicked across the wet floor and stopped several inches from the pail of hot water. She stooped down and laid a white hand on the woman's shoulder. I'm so sorry you have to work so late. ' 1 -.1 .. BROCKTONIA Rekindling Ambitious Fires 4 4 sq-. LL too often the ambition of a life-time is unrealized- an educa- tion is cut short, a promising business venture fails-for want of a little financial aid and friendly advice at a crucial moment.

The woman nodded as she wrung out a steaming cloth. Yes ma'am. With an invalid husband and two children to keep in school, I guess I'm happy doin' what I can for them. With brooding eyes Anne watched the cloth swish back and forth. She parted her lips to speak. My mother scrubs floors. She glanced defiantly across at Rob who was waiting impatiently. She al- most hoped he had heard. The woman looked at her. Her doubting eyes swept her from the top of the softly waved hair to the powdered shoulders. the white vel- vet wrap. the satin, crystal-heeled slippers and then up again into her face. Anne flinched as she met the steady gaze. The gaze followed her retreating figure as Anne walked slowly back to her escort. Don't scold, Rob. she began as they made their way into the dark- ened box. Don't scold. but for a daughter of a scrub-woman it wasn't so terribly bad for me to speak to one. Anyway, my little interview has brought an answer to my per- plexity. Don't ask me to explain. You couldn't or wouldn't under- stand. And that's why I'm not go- ing to marry you. I'm going to wash dishes while Sally yells at Lou, Lou yells at Maida, and Maida yells at Tom. I'm going to scold at Dad's dirty shirts and tOrn suspenders. I'm going to scold when Tommy sticks his lingers into the sauerkraut. I'm going to shut drawers up after Sally. Oh, there are hundreds of things I'm going to do-hundreds of things I'm going to love to do. You think I'm babbling foolishness but I'm not-I'm not. It's so real to me- this sudden happiness. I wish you could share it, but you can't. You have to learn and it's way below you. Rob, give me your handker- chief. I'm crying. Isn't that funny? I'm crying and yet I can still feel that I'm smiling. . . . A slender white figure walked hesitatingly up the broken concrete walk. One exquisitely shod foot stepped on the threshold of the half- opened door. There it rested. Anne listened. Mal Tom's got Dad's smoking facket. The one Anne just sent him. Ma. he's cutting off all the braid from the cuffs. Tom! Leave it alone and put those scissors down. Ma, Maida, Lou! Someone come and get Tom before he ruins it. Do it yourself, Sal. I can't do ten things at once, can I? I'm trying to shine the tea-ket- tle before Anne gets here, and even the stems of the flowers, and sweep the coal dust from under the stove, and wash the crayon marks Tom just put on the wall, and . . . A scream came from the dining room. Maida Corrine Wood! What a fool you are. Look at what you've done!!! Hot darn! You've burned a hole through the silk scarf Anne just sent me. I could kill you! Mrs. Wood called from the par- lor. Louella, stop using such strong language. For shame, Lou- ella. For shame. - Sally, lemme borrow your suede gloves? The ones Anne just sent me? Fat chance. kid, fat chance. L But Sally, I-Oh, Tom! Stop that yelling. Ma. Tom's caught his lingers in the door. Stifle those yells, kid, stifle those yells! Hey some one stuff a handkerchief in Tom's mouth. He'll wake the dead and buried, what I mean. Oh, come here and Sis will bathe them for you. Gosh all Hemlock, what a kid. Some one shut the windows in my room. Say, I said shut them and not slam them. Outside, Anne smiled as a tear wound its way down her cheek.

Anne. Let me go in with you. Maybe I've need of what you've found. I rather think I have. His voice was strangely husky and its new tone pleased her as she looked at the tense lines about his eyes. Anne drew him to her and whispered, Listen, Listen. Sally, turn off the radio, the tele- phone's ringing. Hey, I said to turn off the radio. There. Thanx. Hello? Yes. this is Maida. No. I can't.

MELODY Late one afternoon in August, a frail. white-faced lad of fourteen trudged along the dusty sidewalk lined with murky, uninviting shops. Suddenly he paused before a win- dow. Something seemed to attract his attention. His eyes were glued to an object which seemed to throw him into a trance, like a child with a new plaything. As he watched, his eyes widened, and a new expres- sion, a happy one, adorned his feat- ures. ' Then he hastened into the store. and exclaimed to the dealer who ad- vanced to greet him. How much is that oboe in the window? Two hundred dollars. But, Luke. why do you ask? You cer- tainly haven't enough money for an oboe, Well, last Monday I heard a concert in the town hall, and a man played three beautiful selections on an oboe. I liked the music so well that'I shall not be happy 'til I have one. Why not get a cheaper instru- ment, like a violin? All the boys in this neighborhood are learning that, it seems to me. No, I must have an oboe, was the reply. I'll toil twenty-two hours out of the twenty-four, wear the same suit of clothes year in and year out, and stay home from -all ioncerts 'til I get two hundred dol- ars. Well, Luke, I can see that you're determined to buy this oboe, and I'll try to help you. After thanking the dealer, Luke returned home, happily musing over his afternoon's decision. He related his plan to his only pal, his mother. You'1l have to toil every minute of the day to carry out your plan, Luke. I intend to, Mother. I'll drudge: never fear. I'll keep away from concerts until the day when I can buy my oboe! That night the moon gleamed on the bed of a tired boy, determined to fulfill his plans, no matter what the cost. He dreamed of future eve- nings in the years to come, with his mother at his side before the Hre- place, listening to a sweet melody.- Kreisler's Old Refrain. He awoke possessed of the same zeal with which he had retired. As the days went by, he struggled with numerous brave tasks, always buoyed by the thought of his yearned-for instrument.

As he drew the covers over himself each night, he realized that he was toiling as he had promised. But his body was tired. Within a month he returned to the dealer's. Can you save that oboe you have in your window for me begged Luke. I'll keep it for a little while, promised the dealer, taking the oboe from the window and placing it aside. But I can't save it very long. for I may lose my chance to sell it. . . . One day Mrs. Kelley stopped Mrs. Blakely, and inquired. Have you learned of Luke's plan to get an oboe? Yes, replied Mrs. Blakely, sym- pathetically. He told me his plan. and I've hired him sometimes just because I want to help him. I want to help him too. an- swered Mrs. Kelley, as they parted, for I don't think he can stand this long strain: he looks ill. One evening when he returned home late, he found his mother still sitting up. She was bending over the table, and seemed to be in a mel- ancholy mood. . Luke placed his hand on her shoulder and asked in surprise. Why mother. what is the matter? I'm worried, Luke. I received a letter from your second cousin this afternoon. He owes mortgage money of one hundred fifty dollars on his farm, and unless he pays within a week, must lose his property. Luke remained silent for a mo- ment, and then ran upstairs. When he returned a minute later. he car- ried in his hand a roll of bills which he laid on the table before his mother. Here, Mother, send this e to John. But Luke, your oboe! I know, Mother, but John must have the money or lose his property. Besides, I am still young and can start again to save for my oboe. The following morning, Luke paid a visit to the music store, and related his misfortune to the dealer. Too bad, Luke, sympathized the kind-hearted man, but I can save the oboe for you a little long- er. . . . Time passed quickly. and the amount had again reached nearly one hundred eighty dollars. One afternoon, Mrs. Watson re- ceived a letter from her great aunt, which read: Dear Jessie. I have had a bad fall and broken my leg and fractured my hip. Am not able to work now, and all the money I have is paying the doctor's bills. Could you send me some money now, and a little once in a while until I get better? I feel sure I can pay it back when I am well. Hopefully, Aunt Martha. When Luke returned to supper, he read the letter, and immediately dictated a reply. Dear Aunt Martha, We are very sorry to hear of your misfortune, and are sending you forty dollars now. Will send more soon. Hope you will get well rap- idly. Regretfully, Jessie and Luke. It does not look very promising about your getting the oboe. mur- mured Mrs. Watson sadly to her son. e Well, Mother, I cannot see Auntie suffer so. Besides, I'm still young and there's nearly one hun- dred dollars left even now. . . . The hard-working lad had con- tinued to send money to his aunt. but even with this expenditure, his savings had gradually grown until they had reached one hundred eighty-live dollars. That winter pneumonia spread rapidly, and in spite of Luke's ef- forts to keep well, he was seized by this dreadful disease. His faithful mother struggled night and day to restore her son to health. One day as he lay awake, he saw his cousin John saunter through the open door with an oboe in his hands. Behind him came his fam- ily and Luke's crippled aunt,-all I uf 1 B R o C K T o N 1 A Roofing-Mason and Sheet Metal Work ASBESTOS BRICK LAYING GUTTERS GRAVEL CONCRETING CONDUCTORS TILE PLASTERING SKYLIGHTS COPPER FIRE PLACES METAL CEILINGS gllak-FE CORNICES CHESTER A.

John grasped Luke's hand. and placing the oboe on the bed, remarked: Luke, you see that we have kept our word and not for- gotten you. We learned that you were striving to buy this oboe. and now that we have our money back. we present you with our best wishes. this instrument. Aunt Martha stepped up then, and added, Luke, I'm all better now, but I wou1dn'i be if it hadn't been for you. See the nice em- broidered case I made for your oboe. Luke remained silent, but raising the oboe to his lips, played Kreisler's Old Refrain . After the last peaceful chord resounded through the dreamy room, all was quiet. . . A few minutes later, Mrs. Wat- son opened the door to Luke's room. and tiptoed across the floor to get the medicine. Upon glancing at the bed, she saw the form of her son cold, and still. She halted abruptly, not to disturb him, but her heart told her that no noise could waken him now from his profound slum- ber. Life's melody was finished. Ernest Bronley.

They went for the sole purpose of going to view a museum of fine arts, so they say. We wonder some- times why they had the inspiration to visit such a historical landmark. Our young friends rode gaily among the streets in the great metropolis and were admonished only perhaps live or six times for such minor things as forgetting to look at the speedometer while going through the Fenway, for neglecting to stop when .D C so signalled by the officer of the law. for going down a street plainly marked One way-do not enter. The young group from one of the rooms on the second floor of the old building nonchalantly marched to the ticket-booth for tickets-for museums are not free now because someone has to take care of the won- derful Works of art-and trooped bravely down among the various statues Finally, the closing time having arrived, our dear little high school boys tripped down the street much impressed by their visit.- CWQ wonder where that museum is locatedj Vinginia Laybolt.
