acuhy- Uaraifg ame The third annual Faculty-Varsity basketball game was held March 27, at the West lunior High gymnasium. This hilarious exhibition, put on by the faculty and by the students on the boys and girls' basketball teams, was to raise money for a scholarship to be awarded by the Brockton Teachers' Association to a senior interested in the teaching profession. Some of the highlights of the evening were the Hbloomer-girl cheerleaders consisting of the women faculty members, a boxing match between the faculty and the boys' varsity squad, a football game, and, in between times, snacks consisting of submarine sand- wiches. Everyone contributed in the all-round merriment and enjoyment of that night, and it will not be forgotten. 22

,aring .xdcfiuifiea Lol where the rosy-bosm'd Hours, Fair Venus' train appear Disclose the long-expecting flowers, And wake the purple year! Although most of us thought that Spring had finally arrived, Mother Nature didn't quite agree with us. The calendar read March 21, yet, upon looking out- side, one could see a blanket of snow covering the ground for miles around. The spring activities had to fight an almost losing battle against the elements and had to delay their opening days to later dates. The enthusiasm of the stu- dents was high, and all were eagerly awaiting the coming events. lt seemed that the baseball team would have to play on Eldon Keith field with boots and winter clothes instead of their normal spring uniforms. There was a question whether to go skiing or to play baseball. After a delay the team started its highly successful season. The inclement weather, however, didr1't prevent the musical organizations of the school from participating in various concerts. The All-City Music Festival, in which the Band, the Male Chorus, and the Girls' Glee Club participated, proved to be a night of great entertainment for all. After this con- cert the Harmonies, Girls' Glee Club, Galloneers, Male Chorus, and the band participated in the Southeastern Massachusetts Music Festival in Needham. With the coming of warmer weather, the tennis and golf teams began their ac- tivities. Our dancers made merry when the Senior Prom was held in a beautiful marine setting with decorations of fishes and marine colors. Another important event during the spring was the delightful and amusing Talent Show presented by the Dramatic Club. To make a direct contrast, the spirit of warmth and ardor seemed to melt the cold and harshness of the weather. 3' 5 S 2 1 gf- 5 2 5, 24
