Now every farming community has the use of the telephone enabling its people to discuss their own affairs - as well as the affairs of their neighbors, of course - and to obtain information regarding the condition of the day's market. In the olden days families had to travel over difficult and sometimes impassable roads to visit with a friend or to acquire needed information. Doctors, firemen, or policemen can be called so quickly that many lives are now saved that might otherwise be lost. In case of emergency or medical need the telephone operator is obliged to give proper instructions to the doctor. In case of fire the operator must give proper instructions to the fire station in a large community, or in small communities she must cf each fireman separately. If civil authority is needed in emergency, th police station may be called in large communities, whereas in the small community, the chief must be notified wherever he may be. Although the telephone is still being improved today, it brings pleasure to those who are confined to their homesg it aids in securing information for business purposes as well as for pleasure, and it serves us all quickly in case of emergency. Mary Belle Blackwell THE PLIGHT OF THE FARMER Farming started in this country when the colonies were founded. It was the occupation of the majority of the colonists. At the time of the Revolutionary War the colonists were ninety per cent farmers. In the northern and middle colonies farms were small while in the southern col- ofliies there were large plantations. However, the farmer had trouble from t e start. During the 1780's the wealthy were getting richer on the spoils of the war while the farmer who had fought the war could not even afford the necessities of life. Lawyers became rich from fees gathered from foreclos- ing mortgages by forced sales of the farmers' property. A veteran of the Revolutionary War, Captain Daniel Shay organized fifteen hundred farmers in Massachusetts, who closed the courts at Northampton and Worcester and defied the right of the sheriffs and constables to seize property for debt. This rebellion did not accomplish anything because it was put down by the state militia. The farmers suffered from Hamilton's bank because they were too poor to have it help them, yet they had to help pay for it. Then after the war of 1812 the farmers were faced with a new problem. The nation started to develop industries. The majority of these industries sprang up in the northeast. The middle and southern states still held to farming. Little was done to aid the farmer, and those things that were tried rarely did any good. In 1867 the farmer was getting 32.85 for one bushel of wheat, in 1877 he was getting less than a dollar for the same amount of wheat. At this time one bushel of corn was worth fifteen cents. Page Seventeen l Z E U51-om? i ei.gl. Be afcoin The freight and elevator rates were so high that the farmer had to pay more to ship and store his produce than he received from them. Just before the first World War the Rural Credits Act and the Federal Farm Loan Banks came to the farmer's financial aid. During the war when the need for food increased and prices went up the farmers thought they saw a silver lining. They began to pay off their mortgages, paint their barns and buy expensive machinery. They bought more land and found themselves cultivating land that would not have paid them under ordinary circumstances. Then at the end of the war the prices again declined rapidly, and the farmers were plunged into worse difliculty than they had been in before the war. The prices of the farmer's necessities rose. He fell more and more in debt over taxes - which also rose. Greater improve- ment in farm machinery made it possible for the farmer to produce more food than ever, to add to the surplus for which he had no market. In the 1920's the average income of the farmer was S800 a year. More than one million people left their farms, and the value of farm property declined from seventy-nine billion to fifty-nine billion dollars. Though the popula- tion of the country was one fourth farmers they received less than ten per cent of the national income. In 1929 President Hoover tried to aid the farmer with the establish- ment of the Federal Farm Board. This provided for a fund of 355,000,000 from which loans could be drawn by co-operative associations to aid in the marketing of the farmers' produce. At first it looked as if this plan would succeed, but when prices continued to lag, borrowing money only burdened the farmer further. In 1933 the Agricultural Adjustment Act was passed in another at- tempt to aid the farmer. The object of this act was to raise the prices by cutting down the surplus. The government paid farmers to destroy part of their crops. Then in 1937 another act was passed providing for an ever normal granary to keep the surplus off the market in the fat years and release it in the lean years. Few people realize that we are still facing an agricultural problem today. Many brilliant men are attempting to devise a plan which will settle it. Though conditions have greatly improved since colonial times. the farming problem is still a major one. The farmers are still the back- bone of the nation just as they were when the colonies were first founded. Thedrise and fall of the country's prosperity follows the farmer's economic con ition. If the farmer is prosperous, the country will be prosperous. It is to the advantage of us all to help the farmer overcome his problems and enjoy his share of the world's good things. Robert E. Cobb . -1-.-1. .1. . THE HIGH SCHOOL COACH AND HIS VALUES Coaching is defined by Webster as the training of an athlete, physically and mentally, for a contest. If we add the practice of teaching good sports- manship, we might call this a very good definition. Page Eighteen --.1 -- ---.-1. --f--- V' 'f ' E Zi-lErom?ieLd Beacon!! Besides being able to train an athlete, a coach must have other quali- ties. He must have a good disposition and a likeable personality. If a man understands teen-agers and has the ambition to work with them, he has fulfilled a very important requirement. A good coach should have taken part, at one time or another, in the sport which he is planning to teach. He must have the ability to show his students the fundamentals, tricks that will improve their brand of play, and how to use these tricks to the best advantage. If one has all these qualities and wants to coach, there is no reason in this world why he should not be given the chance. You may wonder what is meant by the previous statement. I believe that any person that has a strong desire to coach should be allowed to prove himself, for he builds the youth of any community in many ways. For instance, there are many high school boys, who have a few faults, and because of these have not made a satisfactory position in society. If such a person is allowed the chance to become part of a team, and he shows that he has some of the same qualifications that other people have he is bound to win the respect of others. In this way he develops con- fidence in himself. Then, too, an athlete is taught how to absorb punish- ment and how to respect all persons whether they be opponents or officials. Another factor in coaching is that the youth of this country is built physically by such men. One cannot stress too much how the strength and endurance of young people have helped America in the past. No- matter what sport the athlete is training for, whether it be football, baseball, basketball, boxing, or even swimming, a great deal of time must be spent in practice. Such practice takes a great number of young boys from the streets and turns them into respectable citizens. Any athlete learns how to think and think quickly in most cases. This is an age of speed. Many of the sports have increased in speed and there- fore require a great deal of fast thought. Without this ability to think with speed an athlete is lost. Why shouldn't anybody who wishes to build the youth of America in so many ways be given a chance to prove himself? The work of a coach is interesting, nerve racking and endless. .He has to spend a great deal of time planning how to use the abilities, size, speed. and competitive spirit of the individuals he has to teach. Any coach is a target for criticism no matter how harmful such criticism may be. Many a night's sleep is lost because of criticism and because of a team's defeats and injuries. In football and basketball much thought and time has to be put into the devising of plays. Again he must consider the size, speed, abilities, and competitive spirit of the boys in the squad. Those with whom the coach works receive a great deal of training val- uable in future years. Because of their understanding of sports, they will enjoy them as spectators. They will also have a greater interest in their children and will enjoy watching them play the games they themselves once played. The coaching profession is a valuable one because it provides as an example to students the leadership of a man who has given them the satis- Page Nineteen 4,53 1' 9. . Bromzig eLd.

Examinations are given annually, and the list of the citizens who take them are given to the Mayor. A new member is appointed when a member of the police department retires. In towns where examinations aren't required the chief of police, patrolmen, and reserve officers are appointed by the select- men. In Harvard only the chief of police, reserve and special police are appointed. Boston has a commissioner at the head of its large police department. Under his command are the following: commanding officers, deputy chiefs, captains, lieutenants, sergeants and patrolmen. Smaller cities have a Chief of Police instead of a Commissioner as the head of the police department. A chief of police has a great many responsibilities. He has authority over all the men in the department as well as over equipment used. In the town or city where he is Chief, he has to enforce all the laws, ordinances, by-laws and regulati-ons that are carried out by the police department. He is also responsible for preparing cases for court in the town or city. The Chief carries many more responsibilities besides these. In the city the commanding ofiicers under him assist him in every pos- sible way. Many types of records are kept by them. Deputy chiefs, cap- tains, and lieutenants all have the same amount of responsibility in that they are the heads of the station houses located in districts known as pre- cincts. They follow out the assignments given to them by the Chief or Commissioner, but these men train for higher positions in case a member is absent, retires, or dies. A very important member of the department is the Sergeant. He has full charge of the patrolmen on duty under his command. Cities and prob- ably some towns have a roll call each morning. All the men are inspected for neatness of uniform and equipment used. Necessary equipment includes a badge, revolver and sutiicient cartridges, police club, notebook and pencil to be carried by all members of all departments in each town and city. There are night and day patrolmen in cities and in large towns. Patrolling the streets by walking or driving a car is done almost always by these patrolmen. They direct strangers to their destinations, at night they check stores and homes for unlocked doors, they are familiar with their route of duty, and they keep in touch with suspicious persons. Some towns have a Chief on call twenty-four hours a day. In Harvard a reserve ofiicer becomes Acting-Chief when the Chief of Police is absent. In a large town the Sergeant becomes the acting Chief of Police. The Page Tweniy ---V rg- ..- --..,. ,,.-...1Yv -vm- ----q..w.'- Y--.

He tries faithfully to carry out his duties in serving his com- munity. He stands ready at a moment's notice to give his life in order to protect the citizen and his property. Therefore he should have the coop- eration and respect of all. Donald R. Crowther THE AUTOMOBILE The automobile industry has come a long way in the past sixty years, for in 1895 there were four automobiles in the United States and in 1949 there were 44,670,588 cars, buses, and trucks in the country. Today an automobile is just another convenience to us, but let us look back upon some of the trouble men had in putting the car, as it is called today, on the road. People did not like the automobile at first and made laws against it, some of which were that a man had to walk sixty yards in front of a car with a red flag to warn the people on horsebackg if a per- son on a horse put up his hand that signal meant that the car must stop. Another law declared that the speed limit was to be two miles an hour in the city and four miles an hour in the country. In the early days of the autom-obile, cars were very expensive because almost all the parts were hand made, but when Henry Ford developed his idea of the assembly line the price of the car was greatly reduced. The majority of the people could then afford a car. Painting the wooden bodies presented another problem because the paint would blister. Then the car bodies were put in heated sheds to dry. A new paint, which dried in a matter of hours was developed. Later metal bodies replaced the wooden ones. Today you see very few wooden ones. Ford wanted a poor man's car . With the aid of the assembly line he put a car on the road which was easy to repair and inexpensive to operate. By this time other makes, such as the Buick, Dodge, and Oldsmobile were appearing. Today we have many kinds from which to choose. The automobile today may be purchased at a cost of S1400 to S6000 depending on the buyer's tastes and pocket-book. There are many extras which may be purchased. Some are the radio, the clock, white-walled tires, seat covers, directional signals, and spotlights. Automatic transmissions such as the Dynafiow in the Buick, Hydra- matic in the Pontiac, and Powerglide in the Chevrolet make driving a pleasure. These automatic transmissions save wear on the tires and there is no clutch to burn out. There are many new motors almost all of which are the V-8 type, which develop great horse-power. These can be found in the Oldsmobile, Chrysler, and Studebaker. Page Twenty-one --1 ilgarnms z eta Be aicon U3 There is a great future for many young men in the automobile business and there are a great many fields to enter. There is the salesman who sells the car. It is up to him to make sure you get what you want as far as color and style go. This is a high paying job, but the hours are endless. The mechanic must tell you what is wrong with your car. He keeps it running smoothly. This job requires a detailed knowledge of all makes of cars. Some mechanics specialize in one make of car or even in one special part like the transmission. Thus some garages have a transmission-man or a motor- tune-up man. These are just a few of the fields open in the automobile industry to the young men of today. Paul R. Curley THE FIVE HILLS OF HARVARD Strangers who see Harvard for the first time are impressed with the beauty'of its hills. Perhaps they do not realize the part that these hills have played in the history of the town. It was over these hills that the Indians followed their trails, keeping always on the high ground. Such trails became so worn and well marked that the white settlers naturally used them until they became the roads and highways of today. It was from such high points that the tribes sent their smoke messages over the countryside. The hills of Harvard are part of the Wataquadock chain which extends westward through Bolton and Berlin towards Worcester. Each hill had its own special interest and beauty. The most beautiful and most widely known is Makamacheckamuck now called Prospect Hill. Command- ing the Nashua Valley, what a part it must have played in the years long past! How many war parties assembled there and searched the far-off hills of Shirley and Lancaster for signs of the enemy, or perhaps watched the enemy gliding down the river unaware of the look-out on the heights above? At a later date Prospect Hill was to see the trial and failure of the experiment of Bronson Alcott and his associates at Fruitlands, now the site of the most interesting museums of our countryside. The shrill whistle of the locomotive in the valley and the boom of guns of Fort Devens have replaced the piercing war cry of the Indians. From the Pin Hill quarries came the slate used in great quantities in local cemeteries and buildings. Today the abandoned quarries on the bleak hill top are only a memorial of earlier days. Bare Hill, holding within the circle of its reach the pond known as Bare Hill Pond, provided a fine hunting and fishing ground for the Indians. It was originally called the Bare Hill because it was the custom of the Indians to set a fire around their villages in November: the fire swept through the woodlands and destroyed the underbrush leaving the hill bare. In that way the land was prepared for the rich dairy farms of Bare Hill - which later gave way to the famous Harvard peach and apple orchards of the present time. Page Twenty-two W- pw 1-- E UBrnm? i el.cl Be acaonn Nourse's History of Harvard tells us: Oak Hill is the highest point of land in Harvard, six hundred and thirty feet above the sea. On clear days the View eastward is bounded only by the ocean. This quotation explains both the location of the Harvard University Observatory and the fire tower which offers a view for many miles. The road following the crest of this hill may well have had its origin in the trail made by Indians traveling from their hunting grounds on Bare Hill to the plains of Littleton and to the trading posts of the Merrimac River. The Town Hill is a continuuation of Pin Hill. With its peaceful Com- mon surrounded by typical New England homes, it may have been chosen for the Town Center not only because it was the exact center of the town, but because it offered an unobstructed view over the valleys. The watch- ful eyes of the early settlers on their way to the Meeting House could easily see signs of approaching danger. Yes, the hills of Harvard can tell us many stories of bygone days. When we ourselves have become a part of the past, they will still be stand- ing, a sturdy reminder of a long and interesting history. M. Jean Ford THE GREATEST TEAM OF ALL Baseball leagues started in the year 1900 when the club owners got together and decided to form two leagues, one to be called the National and the other to be called the American League. The American League was to be made up of teams from Boston, New York, Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis, and Washington. From 1900 to 1914 there was one ball club that could not be beaten, the Philadelphia Athletics. They had a million dollar infield which had to be broken up before there could be any competition between ball clubs. The New York Yankees had a fast moving ball club but could not compete with Philadelphia. From the year 1914 to 1918 there was a World War going on and baseball was not so popular since a good many ballplayers had gone to war. But the people did not lose sight of baseball, and after the war, interest in the sport grew rapidly. In January 1920, the Yankees bought a young ballplayer from Boston in a trade. He was to become one of the immortals of baseball. This was the start of the career of the well-known player, Babe Ruth. Now the Yankee ball team was made up of Ruth, Gehrig, Dickey, Lazzeri, Hoyt, Combs, Meusel, Shawky, and Huggins. The New York Yankees started out with high hopes in their batting line-up, nicknamed Murderers' Row . The line-up was as follows: Bill Dickey, Tony Lazzeri, Babe Ruth, and Lou Gehrig. The pitchers of oppos- ing teams must pitch to the Babe, for if they walked him, they would face Page Twenty-three Brom? i el.cl Beacon Lou Gehrig at the plate as clean-up batter. At this time, Lou and the Babe were equally dangerous at bat. In 1920 the Yankees won the pennant but could not seem to repeat their success in 1921. When 1922 rolled around they made a very good start by winning many of their games in the early part of the season. They found that they were drawing such large crowds that their ball field was proving inadequate. Now they spent a large sum of money and built the Yankee Stadium which was called the house that Ruth built . The box receipts collected the first year that Babe Ruth played for the Yankees were used to build this stadium. The ball team enjoyed another great year in 1923. In 1924, 1925, 1926, the Yankees were in a slight slump. They ended up in fifth place in 1924 and in third place in 1925. When the year 1926 came, they climbed out of their slump and won the pennant but lost the World Series to St. Louis when St. Louis won four out of six games. The 1927 baseball season found the Yankees with a very good ball club. The season was a long one, but Babe Ruth now playing the outfield was making up for the bad year he had had in 1925. Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig were the hope of that 1927 team. The Babe and Lou had had a run contest throughout the season and they were close until the last few weeks of the World Series, when the Babe hit seven more homers and ended the series with sixty home-runs to Lou's forty-seven. Lou Gehrig ended the season with 174 runs to his credit while the Babe had batted in 152 runs. Each team plays one hundred and fifty-two games in a year, the Yankees won 110 of them to win the pennant. They played the Pittsburgh Ball Club in the World Series and won six games in succession. Until this day there has been only one ball club which has earned the enviable title, The Greatest of Them All - the 1927 Yankees. John Henrickson -i-1 ARCHITECTURE Ever since the time of the primitive man who lived in a cave and ate raw meat, we have tried to improve our living conditions. The first homes were only caves and trees in which man went for shelter and protection. Down through the ages great strides have been made in the field of build- ing. We have gone from the primitive caves and medieval huts and manors to our modern homes with all the conveniences of our day. In this present age the construction of homes, buildings, and bridges is of the utmost im- portance to our every day life. The building industry, second only to agriculture and the food indus- tries in terms of money expended and employment provided, lacks only an adequate supply of building materials and labor before launching upon the largest program of construction in all history. In carrying out this great program, the building industry looks to the profession of architecture for Page Twenty-four E UBrom9iel.d. Beaico1-.UZ leadership in the execution of its plans - the provision of safe, efficient, attractive and economical shelter for the innumerable activities of our modern civilization. In the field of architecture, there are three basic lines which a student may follow: General Design, Structural Design, and Building Construction. These three fields differ greatly in many respects. The work which you will do in later life depends upon which one of these lines you advance in. The first field - and probably the most general and wide spread - is the course in General Design. This field covers everything from automotive design to homes and advertisements. In the field of General Design there are a great many lucrative jobs and positions in which there are great chances for advancement. The next line, which is probably the most interesting to the engineer, is the Structural Design which entails a great deal of engineering ability. Structural Design is a more technical side of the architectural field, dealing mostly with detailed plans of large buildings and bridges. This phase considers many of the engineering problems such as weights of material, support, and strength of materials to be used. Building Construction, the last of our three phases, is the part of architecture which we as laymen see as we go along our highways. Build- ing Construction pertains to the actual construction of the structures which the General Designers and Structural Designers have planned. The work of an architect is so varied and interesting that it becomes fascinating. The wide scope of the architect arouses a great interest which drives him forward with speed and determination. ln his work the archi- tect meets all types of people from the millionaire to the common laborer. Because of the many phases in architecture, there are great opportunities for self-expression. This profession, like every other profession, has its disadvantages in that the architect must have close co-operation from the owner, contractor, and worker to do a good complete job. The long expensive years of study and practice are also a great hindrance to the young architect. Another great disadvantage is the necessity of establishing his own practice, for the young architect must have large capital and the social connections neces- sary for securing clients. The architect of today is a very important man in our society. He is one of the keys to our comfort and convenience in the future. He is the planner, designer, and builder of the homes of the present and future. The architect has a great many more materials to use, and he is more skilled in all the methods of building, from the Roman and Greek to the modern. than was his predecessor. Thus with all the knowledge and learning which has been gathered since ancient times, the architect has become a prominent figure in our lives today. Philip E. Messersmith Page Twenty-five Zunromfzzeia Be aiconm SCIENCE IN OUR DAILY LIVING Think of how life would be if there were no such thing as science. Webster says that science is the accumulation and accepted knowledge systematized and formulated with reference to the discovery of general truths or the operation of general laws . The scientist, by using these laws as the basis of his experiments discovers many new and useful items, which are later applied to our daily living in fields of agriculture, industry, medi- cine and our ordinary home life. Many people will disagree when they are told that science contributes more to our every day being than any other thing, but I say that they are wrong. Scientific experimentation in the fields of agriculture is carried on to produce better and fuller fruits and vegetables, better fertilizers, and better insecticides to rid the growing plants and trees of harmful pests. Scientists are continually working and testing to find new and better methods of preservation. In former times all meats and fish were dried or smoked, and fruits and vegetables had to be home canned. Today, foods of all kinds are frozen or vacuum-packed by sanitary, scientific methods, and are trans- ported to the markets by trucks, boats, and planes, all of which result directly from scientific facts and experiments. In industry there is always a quest for new metals or alloys with which to construct new tools and machines or to improve the old ones. The search for these new metals and alloys is carried on in metallurgical laboratories with the aid of scientific data of all types, varying from periodic tables to notes on stress and strain and the reactions of the metals to the weather and extreme temperatures. The machines built with these metals and alloys preserve our food, construct the tractors and tools with which we grow this food, and construct the automobiles we use every day, they even aid in constructing articles from or with which we derive some of our en- tertainment and recreation. Radios, movie projectors and cameras, and television sets, which are constructed by these machines, in themselves are the applications of over a thousand different laws of science. In the field of medicine, many of the new treatments such as the radio- logical treatments and the X-ray treatments for cancer are direct results of experiments in the fields of physics and biology which are component parts of science in themselves. If experiments had not been carried on in these fields of science, we would have a terrifyingly high death rate because of tuberculosis, small pox, typhoid fever, diphtheria, and other diseases which were fatal not so many years ago. Through scientific research it was dis- covered which chemical compounds were the best to meet and combat various affiictions. We have also discovered processes by which to synthe- size adrenalin for chronic ailments, insulin for diabetes, penicillin, strepto- mycine, and auriomycine for pneumonia, and the anti-histamine for hay fever and the common cold. In recent weeks there have been a few out- standing accomplishments: the mechanical heart which by-passes the fiow of blood around the heart instead of through it while doctors are perform- ing delicate operations upon this organ, a new two-way plastic valve to re- place the heart valves damaged by rheumatic fever, and the mechanical kidney to purify the blood while the natural kidney is being operated on. Page Twenty-six E HEY-com? i el.cl B eaicoin In our ordinary home life, the accomplishments of science are constant- ly and steadily appearing, the linoleum on the floors, the paint on the house and furnishings 5 the electric stoves, timers and toastersg the pressure cookers, and the fuel we use to heat our homes. All of these things are direct results of science. You can see therefore that no matter which way we turn, we constantly are faced by science and its accomplishments. John E. Murphy WASHINGTON, D. C. After the Revolutionary War, the United States was becoming a vital part of the world. It was growing quickly, but we had no capitol. The government had been seated temporarily in several cities, so in July, 1790, Congress authorized the appointment of a committee of three to choose a site. Washington himself appointed the men and infiuenced the choice greatly. The location chosen was an area of ten square miles on the Potomac River. The original plan for the city was drawn by Pierre L'Enfant, but it was completed by Andrew Ellicott. The first corner stone was laid by George Washington in 1793. When the original city was completed in 1800, it had only 109 brick houses and 263 frame houses. Washington was cheated of the satisfaction of seeing the government established in this new location, for death claimed him in 1799. TheCongress moved in the summer of 1800. When the government was transferred, the area was a wilderness. There was only one hotel, and -only muddy roads and footpaths. The President's house was placed in an open field. There was no business or society. After eight years of occupying the city, there was talk of return- ing the government to Philadelphia. Gouveneur Morris once Wrote, We need nothing here, but h-ouses, men, women, and other little trifies of the kind to make a city perfect. As the country grew, so did the capitol. In time, it was necessary to start thinking about how to govern the city. Finally, a mayor was appointed by the President, and a council was elected by the people. Today Washington is under the jurisdiction of the Congress. There are no rep- resentatives in Congress for Washington, therefore, the residents have no self government. This is taxation without representation. In 1814 the British burned all the buildings in Washington with the exception of the Post Ofiice and the Patent Office Building. While the city was being rebuilt, L'Enfant's original plan which had been missing over a period of years was found. This was the plan used in constructing the city as it is today. Streets, duly numbered and lettered, mark off rectangular blocks mak- ing it very easy for a stranger to travel around Washington. Today Washington is the most beautiful capitol in the world. In the spring, its fragrant cherry blossoms draw multitudes of spectators, while throughout the year, its monuments attract many sightseers. Among the Page Twenty-seven Er 013-pique Ld I3 eaic on great attractions are the Capitol Building and the White House. Perhaps the greatest of all Washington monuments is the Lincoln Memorial. Here the figure of the martyred President sits brooding over a well loved city. Another monument close to the hearts of all Americans is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier which honors every soldier Who has fallen in defense of his country. Arlington Cemetery, The Library of Congress, the Smith- sonian Institute, the Pan American Union Building are all interesting places to visit in Washington. Today Washington is the diplomatic center of the world. People who know no freedom look upon it as the symbol of liberty. Our capitol city must be kept high in the esteem of the world. To do this each and every one of us must endeavor every day of our lives to be better citizens. We must not allow ourselves to be swayed by our personal desires if they are injurious to our country. Our capitol and country represent our very life and liberty. There is nothing more important than liberty. Mary Ann Poitras MECHANICAL ENGINEERING Mechanical Engineering is that branch of the science and art of en- gineering which relates especially to machinery. It is closely related to all other classes of engineering, inasmuch as there is hardly an occupation or industry in which machines of some sort are not directly or indirectly concerned. This is why you can't draw a line between the different branches of engineering. A mechanical engineer has many problems and responsibilities in the company or firm in which he is employed. One of the leading problems confronting him, whatever the special line in which he is engaged, is the reduction in the cost of production. He should do his best in attaining the maximum result from machinery with the least cost, time, and labor. A mechanical engineer has a lot to do with transportation if he is in the field which involves it, because he is the man who thinks of and designs machines to make the process of building parts faster and more accurately. For example, if a motor block is to be drilled and planed, the engineer designs a machine that will bore all the holes and plane the surfaces all in one sweep. This makes production more economical. Another accomplishment of the mechanical engineer is the utilization of the sun's heat. It has been worked out in a small way in California. A concave mirror having 1,000 square feet of surface has been used for sending the sun's rays upon a steam boiler which lies at its focus and there is a mechanical device which keeps the mirror focused perfectly. The boiler produces power equal to ten horse power. Wind power is widely and successfully employed on a small scale, but the problem involves how to store up these fuels. The engineer takes a great part in solving this type of problem. Page Twenyt-eight Zmnrnmsaeia Beaicoin During periods of war the Mechanical Engineer is rushed and works long hours in order to design machines and fixtures which have to do with mobilization of the armed forces. What the future offers a y-oung man choosing the profession of a Mechanical Engineer depends very much upon the ability of the man him- self. The broad scope of the profession, already referred to, furnishes enough proof as to the wide field of work for him. If his desire is to have his own business of engineering, then the best thing for him to do is to work for a popular firm for some years and learn all about the tricks of the trade.

Why don't they at least try to behave themselves ? There are many types of boys: tall, short, fat and thin. Some have an attractive appearance while others just do not seem to care. All are ambitious in one thing or another, whether it be school, athletics, or work. Many boys do waste a lot of time. Why? This time may be wasted due to the so called goofing off . They fool around because they have not yet matured to the stage when they become serious. Another reason is that boys may not be recognized as they wish. To gain recognition, they try to do many things to disturb other students so that people will give them attention. Boys are of great value to other people, their school, and their country. For other people they do -odd jobs and run errands, while studying and participating in sports, they help live up to and build the school's reputa- tiong many join the services to help protect their country. Why don't they at least try to behave themselves? All have excess energy that they must somehow get rid of. This is the one satisfactory way that many find. Now, I do not see why parents, teachers, and other adults should be- come discouraged when they notice the wrong doings of such boys, because almost all turn out to be really nice when they have learned their lesson.

Poor, poor, shaving brush! ! Ever since he was born he has had noth- ing but stubble . . . I mean, trouble. In the factory he was singled out as a reject, not fit for life on a bathroom shelf. On the bottom of this particu- lar specimen was a black streak mixed in with the snow-white plastic. After many a beating from the razor strap, he revolted. Breaking away from his nice shelf in the factory outlet, he found shelter in my Page Thirty-nine ..!,,,4:. E UE:-om?ieLcl Beaicoinlj 3 humble abode. I felt so sorry for this mis-used article that I bought a razor and a shaving mug to keep him softened up. Well, as I was saying, I found my shaving brush on the bathroom fioor. My mother-in-law had gone into the cabinet, fshe could fit, too, be- cause we had a large cabinetl to find her bottle . . . of cough medicine. When she put the bottle back, she accidentally knocked my friend onto the floor. He had been sleeping soundly in his bed of soft water. In order to soothe and pacify him, I had to promise not to use him for a whole week. He finally relented and after a long fatherly talk from me, things returned to their normal routine. Robert A.

Day By Day WHAT MY POCKETBOOK THINKS OF ME Pocketbooks do not have the power to think, but the following is taken from my pocketbook's life history, and from possible thoughts my pocket- book might have. The first impression it might have of me is when I bought it. Before buying I inspected it and tested to see if the guarantee might be true by coincidence. Upon buying it I filled it with pictures, cards, membership registrations, and the change left over from buying it. From this my pocketbook has a basis to form its opinions. It might think that I belong to four or five organizations, that I neglect some of these, and that I like to spend the little money I have. Later it learned that my money came seldom and in varied amounts ranging from one cent to five dollars. Also it learned that the money didn't stay long at this stop. From the ticket stubs found in my purse it might judge that my money goes mostly for dancing. Often I tried to create a good impression by leaving it in a place with little junk. I hoped it would think I could be neat. I shall omit possible thoughts when many times I threw it to the iloor disgusted at not finding any money in it. I doubt that my pocketbook thinks highly of me after the treatment it has taken. I try to understand its thoughts and opinions. I appreciate its many years of faithful service, and in recognition I am giving it a rest, not only because I want to - but I have to!

THE LIFE OF A DOG Some people say that a dog's life consists entirely of defending help- less masters from great dangers and patrolling property under a hot blaz- ing sun or through cold, windy blizzards. It's nice to have that sort of a reputation, but believe me, folks, it's not true. To satisfy a master, man's best friend needs approximately ten minutes per day, in which he barks ferociously at some harmless intruder, bites the milkman, chases pigeons, does tricks, and manages to look fatigued at the end of the day. The rest of the time is just milk and honey. To make things clearer for more complicated, as the case may bel, let me give an example of a typical day in the life of a dog. My day begins at nine o'clock, when I am awakened with gentle, soothing music from my bed, which happens to be the softest pillow I can find. I am led to a delicious breakfast of roast beef dipped in catsup. I then go on a short walk with my master, during which I chase a Mexican Chihuahua home, and growl viciously Cthrough a barbed wire fencej at a huge St. Bernard. My master then goes to work, while I sleep in the sun for the rest of the day. At 5:30 in the afternoon, exhausted after faithfully guarding the house, I rush out to meet my master. fSomehow, I always manage to look tired and run-down.J Soon after, I am given for supper a fine T-bone steak fried in onion juice. My master then praises me for defending the house from all milkmen, pyromaniacs, G-men, and bill collectors, and I happily curl up on the pillow to rest for another day of guarding faithfully my master's possessions.

In Front: G. Cregar, N. Mcrrr. FOOTBALL The Bromfield six-man football team started its second season with high hopes and plenty of spirit under the able guidance of our coach, John C. Dillon. As last year the team was in the 6-Man Football League. The season was quite successful with the team winning three games and losing three. There is no doubt that they would have fared better if they had not been hampered by many injuries. In the first game, Philip Messersmith scored four touchdowns, but in the second game he chipped a bone in his hand and was out for the better part of the season. George Ryan was injured in an early practice and could not play any games. John Hendrickson, Robert Hynes, and Robert Stephens also received injuries that hindered the team somewhat. At no time during the season were there more than ten men able to play each game. Because there were only twelve uniforms the squad was small and when players were on the injured list the equipment was passed around. Games were played on Willards' iield in Still River. Despite these setbacks, the squad made a very good showing. James Glenzel, a grammar school student, practiced with the team George Lennihan and Laurence Gates shared managerial duties very capably.

The boys' basketball team entered its first season in the Western Division of the Wachusett League with John C. Dillon as coach. The team won five games and lost five in the league's stiff competition. As in football, injuries played a large part in the fortunes of the team. In the second game of the season Philip Messersmith sprained his ankle. In the final game he sprained it again. After the regular season, Bromfield was invited to the Townsend Tournament where they lost in the first round to Townsend High, 48-87. Philip Messersmith was chosen to play on the Western Division All-Star Team. Robert Turner was president of the Bromfield Athletic Association, and Chester Day was Treasurer. John Murphy was manager and time- keeperg William Beauvais acted as assistant-manager and took charge of the tickets at the door at home gamesg Maude Stephens kept score and scheduled the non-league games.
