Several years ago when the need of a new high-school be- came apparent, the suggestion was made that Norwell, Hanson, and Hanover should unite in constructing one building which was to be located in Center Hanover, transportation was to be furnished by busses for the pupils of the three towns. This plan however, did not meet with approval and was voted down. A year ago, a carefully worked-out plan was presented to the town for a new centralized school-building, to house all the grades. After a bitter struggle at the town meeting, this also was disapproved. But now, as the result of this year's meeting, we are to have a fine new School-building, thoroughly equipped and adequate in every respect. Katherine Townsend, '27. THE NEW RACE The customs, actions and language of the young people of to-day differ from those of their elders as much as if they be- longed to separate nations instead of diferent ages. But who could want it to be otherwise, for you certainly would not wish us back to the conditions in which our great-grand-parents lived, and thus prohibit the progress of a nation. It is true that there are some whose conduct is common, im- modest, and rude, but are there not people in any age to whom these adjectives might be applied, although perhaps they were interpreted with different shades of meaning. Our elders are shocked by our actions, because I think we are more open and do not try to conceal everything. Then they are also, urfaccus- tomed to these new things just as people were perfectly horrified when girls Iirst began to wear riding breeches. This is nothing new, for society is continually revolting from old conventions just as painting and poetry. One of the greatest faults is that you are inclined to mis- judge what you see, and believe stories on insufficient evidence and your attitude is hostile rather than sympathetic. No doubt there is plenty to criticize, but if you keep thinking thus, psy- chology teaches that your ideas will at length become permanent states of mind. Many people sit along the side-lines and criticize those who are playing to the galleries, but these very ones are among the guiltiest. You encourage the flapper and sheik to go on with their gay life and jazz, for there is nothing in which they delight more than being made notorious. If you only criticize and can offer no suggestions, why should we receive all the blame? 6 THE HANOVERIAN 3.01111aio:oioz014nzoioioz1Q1oz:Q1n1oilQ11101411nzoxogoioesoioxiozo 2 1 Q Q Q Electrical Household Necessities The New YL. .

If at times we are lured astray by some inviting brooklet or tempting inlet of this stream, what difference does it make as long as we keep moving and at last reach the same goal? Ex- perience is our only true teacher. If we are unwilling to take the word of our elders, it is because we have been deceived so many times by believing what someone else has said to be true. Don't judge us too harshly for we are still young. Just give us time and your sympathy, and we shall endeavor to show you what our present day generation will and can produce in the near future. Katherine Morehardt, '26. ilu ililrmnriam Mrs. Harriet CSimmonsJ Russell was born in Hanover, November 30, 1863, and died February 19, 1926.

RAYMOND Farmer,' NATHANIEL JENNESS General Course Although he has acquired the name he has not as yet become a full fledged farmer. His grandfather was called Farmer and it is said to be the source from which Farmer gets his nickname. It is generally supposed that after he receives his diploma from Bridgewater Normal he will write a series of books entitled What to do and How to do it. While often he carries a stern countenance during the mathematics session it disappears upon meeting Mildred in the hall. We all agree that Farmer is a good sport and always ready to share in work and fun. Footk all C45 3 Basketball C35 3 Captain Basketball C45 3 Base- ball Cl, 2. 3, 453 Hockey C3, 453 President A. A.

Most of her pupils were from the foreign section of the city. She loved her Work and did her best to inspire proper thoughts in these children Who Were to be the future of America. It was not a simple task, for many, on entering, Were unable to speak a Word of English, yet, through her patience and understanding, she had Won the admiration and loyalty of all of them. One afternoon each Week was devoted to some current topic. Her topic for this afternoon was on the prisons of the city. A little boy at the back of the room seemed particularly interested. The teacher gave a description of the old prisons. The little boy's face assumed a sad expression. Then she went on and told of the reforms being made through the assistance of public don- ations. The lad's face brightened. The lecture was short and school was dismissed early. Miss Reed sat down at her desk to do some Work. The door opened and Gusty Benito entered. He Went up to the teacher shyly, and said, Teacher, Will you bring some money to the prison if I give it to you ? Why of course I Will, said the teacher, placing her arm about the little boy. But you seem Worried. Is there anyone you know in prison ? Yes, my brother. He's been gone a long time. I have to stay alone now almost every night, cause he took things that didn't belong to him. I told him not to, 'cause you told us never to take things that didn't belong to us. But he Wouldn't mind me. Of course you're right, Gusty, and I'm very sorry about your brother, said the teacher. But perhaps he Will be a bet- ter brother when he returns, for, do you remember What I told you about people giving books and money, and helping the pris- oners to improve themselves? Did your brother have any par- ticular kind of Work ? No, replied Gusty, dolefully, That's why he had to take things. When he Worked he could buy them, but when he didn't, he had to take them. I understand, said the teacher, now if you bring the money tomorrow, I Will send it to the prison and perhaps it will do a great deal toward making your brother better. That evening, in a dingy house, by a dim gas light, the little boy wrote a note. After it was finished, he produced, from its hiding place under the couch, a half dollar. He Wrapped it in the note. In the morning the precious contents were given to the teacher. That afternoon, as the prison Chaplain was opening contri- butions for the Prison Reform Fund, he smiled sadly as he took the half dollar from a note written in a scrawling hand 5 I earnt this myselluf.

To Gusty, it seemed ages, for he wanted to see whether his brother had been made better. . . But finally the time came. Gusty was in his room practicing multiplication tables. A soft step was heard on the stairs. He knew it wasn't his father. A moment later, the door opened, and a young man of twenty-five entered. Gusty's eyes sparkled. His brother was neater, cleaner, and appeared better than he had ever remembered seeing him before. This was the kind of a brother he had always hoped for. That night the dim gas light burned for hoursg the two dis- cussed their future. The older brother explained that during those three months he had been studying continually, and that now he was prepared to enter the poultry business. A. Nawazelski, '26. THE FIRST OF JUNE It will soon be time to close every school To shut each book and forget each rule Then no quiet please , as you stroll along And if you desire you may sing a song. The world will be rosy and everything bliss With no teacher to say Extra session for this , But then when vacation is finally o'er We'll be glad to see the school once more. For we realize that learning is needed by all To once more see the school house we'll all hear the call As we know that in spite of each book and each rule That our happiest days are spent in High School. Esther Hansen, '28. MY STUDIES English teaches one to talk straight, The time to learn it is never too late, So study it with all your will And there'll not be a time when you'll have to keep still. I think ancient history is terribly dry, I almost wish we could let it go by. Yet the teacher makes it so interesting That I'd never want to get caught resting. Algebra is not so snappy But when I get a hundred, it makes me feel happy. Yet X equals Y and Y equals X, It is almost as bad as the female sex. Science certainly is great, It seems that way to me at any rate. I'm certainly not at the head of the class, But I am doing my best to pass. F.

As the boy gracefully dismounted and entered the general merchandise store that also served as the post-office, one of the several loafers hollered out, Hy, Piney! Some swell ginks wait- in' up tu Smitty's fer yu. Piney nodded to the group that stood, sat, or leaned in vari- ous postures of ease and replied, Aw gwan! Quit yer kiddin ! He's right, son, put in the store-keeper and post-master. Yer tu go up right away. He give me this hyar letter tu con- vince ye. The boy took the envelope that was handed out and read its contents. Sound's tho' ye'r right, he said casually to all the eager listeners. The extremely apparent wish to know what that very white sheet of paper contained was disappointing for Piney Walked leisurely out of the store and, seeming to slide into the saddle, rode away toward Smitty's. or the Redwood Hotel, as its sign called it. Piney, or John Pinetree, was half Indian and half White. His father, one of a mining crew, was a white man. His mother was an Indian squaw. They had died in a blizzard when the boy was very young and he had been brought up by some cow- punchers. He had lived their life, always-fair and square, gambling and drinking a little on pay day but sober at other times. Piney was one of the best punchers around and now earn- ing his living in their business. This boy loved his West, es- pecially the Canyon, and would rather camp out under the stars and see a beautiful sunrise, than to travel in luxury around the World. He entered the lobby of the hotel and spoke genially a few minutes with the small, wiry proprietor, Smitty. S'pose yu want tu see th' swell guy, doncha? Well, hyar he is. Mr. Gallyhad, hyars th' young man yu wanted tu see. There was a tall, rather distinguished-looking, white haired and mus- tached man with distaste of his present surroundings Written all over his regular features. Mr. Gallyhad, meet Mr. Pinetree, said Smitty. Pleased tp meet up with yu, sir, said Piney easily, stretching forth a brown hand which the white-haired gentleman touched gingerly, mumbling some polite phrase. Believe yu wanted tu see me ? Why-er-yes. Will you ascend to my apartments-if you may call them that-with me ? This from the swell. I am your uncle's lawyer. They had arrived in the latter's room. But I ain't got any uncle, sir, said Piney. You may not know of him. He died recently in Chicago. A very tine man, indeed. His name? Sherwood Pinetree! The financial wizard and multi-millionaire. Then followed a great deal of talk about wills, heirs, and :many legal complications. When Piney at last walked out of that 26 THE HANOVERIAN .F aiu: 1 3 ioioloixmia114111114rioioioioioimi0101 1 3 1 10102 ! E. sf S.

The trip passed like a dream. The western youth found many things he had never dreamed of. Sleeping cars, rushing along through varying landscapes, and finally a great roaring city, hundreds of people, jostling and pushing each other, an ex- ceedingly comfortable car, and an equally comfortable bed in la large house, which, Piney learned was an apartment. So passed the years of preparatory schooling and college. He received many honors, both athletically and scholastically. He travelled in many countries during vacations and had all the money he could possibly spend. At last came graduation! John Pinetree was an alumnus of Harvard! Then came three or four more years of business experience. He became very prosperous. The cowboy met the girl of his dreams. She travelled in the highest society and came of a very good family. A week went by. Piney told her of his emotions and also of his life. The girl refused him because he was a half-breed. Later that same woman married a man who could trace his white ancestry for generations. Piney, born in the West, now began to feel the pull of his native haunts. He could no longer stand the crowds, the rolar, the confusion, the corruption and selfishness of the rich, and the misery of the poor. He decided to answer the call of the Can- yon. Never once had he been back since he had fallen heir to the Pinetree millions. The days of the journey passed slowly, bringing an ever- increasing eagerness to arrive. When he did reach his destina- tion, Piney found little change in the town, but few people rec- ognized him. After buying a horse, blankets, and provisions, Pinetree went to his old camp, far up the winding trail. He slept like a log that night and awakened early to view the sunrise. He rode to the edge of the cliff. The sun rose slowly, beauti- fying the sky and developing the color-scheme of the cliHs. The absolute quiet and the magnitude of the scene before him brought utter satisfaction. Pauline W. Westcott, '29.

What if cousin Florence did reach. the party to find her not present? Couldn't Flo match up with someone else with whom to pass the evening? Surely she would be able to find some suitable excuse in order to explain her ab- sence. Thus ending with a determination to go regardless of' what happened, May threw a silken brown scarf over her shoulders and went for her evening stroll by the calm lake. Friday night came and with it the featured theatre program. Alas! The merriment that May had expected was lacking. The strains of music were inharmonious and skuawky, the actors' tones were coarse and unculturedg the atmosphere was close and suffocating, and never before, had Max appeared so grumpy and unsociable. May uttered a sigh of relief as they left the theatre and started for home. Scarcely had May reached her room when the telephone rang. Lo! the voice that came to her ears was that of cousin Flo. May was so surprised she was unable to speak for a few minutes. After saying hello twice, Flo ran OH into one of her spasms of raving, leaving May more bewildered with every word she said. Yes, you should have been there. You missed worlds of fun. Of course Bob and his clique were thereg the party wouldn': have been complete without them. Ralph's brother was up from Enfield and entertained us in the early part of the evening. I'm very sorry you didn't feel well. Jane told me about it this after- noon so I asked Betty Scott to accompany me. You certainly missed some good time. Cheer up, May, we'll make it right with you sometime. Good-bye. Oh, how May had always envied Betty and then to have Flo keep company with her! Nevertheless, it was her fault. She had learned her lesson so it would never happen again. Elizabeth Snell, '27. ILL USED I want to relate to you a startling little experience I had one evening when I was in a nearby city. I was strolling down a lonely street in the slum district, when I was startled by loud. piercing screams, which seemed to come from the dingy walls of a nearby apartment. I stood motionless: not hearing another sound, turned about and continued my walking. I had not taken three steps when those terrifying wails and groans pierced my heartg Koh! I said, what suffering must be taking place! I went back and stealthily peeked through the low dirty window, from which seemed to come the sounds. What a sight met my eyes! Upon a table lay a lifeless form, one leg of which was torn to pieces, and bending over it was a horrible looking Chinarrfan. Again came those terrible wails and screams, which filled me with horror. I could hardly stand it. But then I shouldn't care for the lifeless form which the laundry man was ironing wasn't my trousers. Ray M.

Poor Matilda! How she loved to sit and gossip in that old chair. Wonder if that old quilt of her father's room is gone that she used to be so careful about. H-m! She told me a story about that quilt, how it was supposed to bring good luck to anyone- who possessed it. Well, he had had good luck, so had Matilda until illness marred her later years. I need a little good luck myself with only forty-five cents in my pocket. Guess I'll look around a bit. Well, well! If there ain't Matilda's quilt now! The auctioneer held up an old pink quilt, which might have seen one hundred years' service. What'll you give me for this quilt? asked the auctioneer in his most engaging tone. Ten cents ! cried a small voice from the rear of the crowd. Ten cents! Who'll give me fifteen, who'll give me twenty ? Twenty-five cents! cried Mr. Warren in an excited voice. Twenty-five cents. Who'll give me thirty? Come, come! Who'll give me thirty? No one? All right. Once! Twice! Sold to Mr. Cyrus Warren. Cyrus rushed to the front and took the quilt. After paying his twenty-five cents and receiving many playful jests from his friends, he started for his ramshackled old house on the out- skirts of the town, with the quilt under his arm. Several weeks later, Cyrus was sitting by the stove, tearing the quilt to pieces. Upon arising that morning he had thrown the quilt over the foot of his old cot bed, after dressing, he had pulled the quilt from the cot, and in doing so had caught it on a nail. The quilt was torn in a large, three-cornered tear. Cyrus was discouraged. It was useless to try to mend it, so he decided to tear it to pieces and use the inside for nests. While taking out the stitching, he discovered a piece of oil cloth. Now what's that in there for? he said aloud. Mr. Warren continued to take out the stitching. When he finished, he found that the piece of oil cloth was wrapped many times around a sheet of foolscap. Goodness! there is writing on it! exclaimed Mr. Warren, trembling. The man read it, dropped on his knees, and whis- pered, Thank God, luck has come my way at last! The in- scription read as follows: To whomever finds this piece of foolscap: Beneath the Old MacIntosh in McAdams' apple orchard, you will find a buried treasure. If you don't find it the first time, try, try again. Henry John McAdams. Henry McAdams was Matilda's father. When Cyrus realized that it wasn't a dream, he grabbed a spade and rushed out of the house to the old apple orchard. He dug for about an hour, with a moment's rest now and then. Hark! What was that? It sounded like metal striking metal! 1 32 THE HANOVERIAN 414110101 1 1 1 1110101H1010101U11lQmu1u'1-H1111 1 1 111 11102 Q Compliments of H.

Cyrus soon brought to view a strong, metal box about as large as a doll's trunk. My! It was heavy! It took him nearly an hour to carry the box to his house. Ah! At last the box was ready to be opened. The locks were broken and everything was ready. The excited old man closed his eyes for a moment and then looked. Nothing was there but old newspapers, yellowed with age. Ah! But wait! Warren removed the papers and a layer of oil cloth. On the bottom of the box were piles of gold coins rolled in cloth, to- gether with two gold bracelets and a diamond ring, a wedding ring, and a wonderful old necklace, all wrapped in pieces of silk. The ancient necklace was very beautiful, being incrusted with diamondsg it also held rubies with a large pearl pendant and a diamond clasp. Cyrus could hardly believe his eyes. No longer would pov- erty hold him' in its clutches. Luck! Who said Cryus Warren never had any luck? Ella Oldham, '28. VIRGIL A man of the ages! A master of time!

Three years in dreary prison have I languished Locked up in lonely cell to think on death- Three hellish years, while life was fed by hope, That arose from hopeless cause to cheer my soul. Sometimes in broken anguish I did penance And begged the avenging God to let me live, Sometimes in maddened frenzy I showered curses On all the world, on life, on everything. But now I care not-let all know my shame! I mock at life, I laugh at everything. There is no God, no hell, no eternity, All is shallow, morbid, hopeless, vague. And I am a king, king of a world, Of a mad darkened world, with hideous glimmers of light Where wails, and groans, and piteous sighs are heard, And the devil is my ally, for the damned are his delight.

THE HANOVERIAN ' 37 A WEEK IN THE COUNTRY LICE and I were visiting her aunt and uncle who lived on a large farm in the country. We were only there for a week and the time seemed to be going quickly. One morning we walked to the store. While there we heard some farmers talking about hen-thieves. You can imagine how we felt after hearing this. We talked about it on our way back, but prayed that the hen-thieves would not select any night dur- ing that week to make their unweicome visit. Night came, and after supper was over, we did the dishes. For even though we were visiting, she was kind enough to let us do them. We then went into the den to read. It was so pleasant before the open fireplace and so different from our own home. After a while, Alice's aunt called to us and said that they were going to retire, and for us not to sit up too late, which was generally the case when We became interested in our books. When the clock struck half-past ten we stopped studying and decided to hit the hay. g but on passing the window, we sud- denly stopped. Somebody was in the hen-yard with a flash-light! Hen thieves I we both shouted at the same time. We called for Alice's Aunt Addie and Uncle Cyrus. I ran to the door and locked it. Were We frightened 7 So much so that we fell over each other trying to get up the stairs. When at last we arrived at the top, all out of breath, we collided with Alice's aunt, and nearly knocked her down. Hen thieves, Uncle Cyrus! shouted Alice as she ran past her aunt into the room, but it was empty. We looked all around the room and then at Aunt Addie who stood in the doorway with a broad smile on her face. Why, what's the matter, girls? Uncle Cyrus is out shut- ting up the hens. Alice and I uttered a cry of relief, and Uncle Cy said, Chil- dren, forget hen thieves and don't read any more books before going to bed. Eva Shurtleff, '27. THE MIDNIGHT VISITOR It was a very dark and dreary night. It seemed as though every light in the house was unusually dim as I sat trying very hard to keep my attention on the mystery story that I held in my lap. There were sounds of all kinds, to which of course, I would try to listen very closely, to see if I could hear any footsteps or anything that sounded like someone creeping near. Everybody was out and the crackling fire sent forth a warm blaze. I came to a very interesting part of the book where it told about a man trying to get into a house and no sooner had I read this when I heard a rat-ta-tat on the window. Turning around, I saw a very strange figure watching me. With wide-open eyes, I sat very stiffly in my chair, not daring to move. I tried to shout, but my mouth would not open. Cold sweat rolled down my face. I started to twist my fingers. The face kept grinning at me very sarcastically, as if to say, THE HANOVERIAN 101 ioiuiuioioioiuio1-1:1-411411411oicanzcnznrirn-14n:,mx:4m11nioioic?

I eyed the figure two or three times in order to ascertain some description of him. He was a very short, slim man with a little mustache and Very old clothes. His eyes gleamed at me with seeming malice. I slipped from my chair and went into the kitchen, where to my horror, the devil-like creature had followed me. He spoke, but I dared not answer. He spoke again, then I awoke, trembling and scared stiff. My uncle was calling me. Charlotte Stewart, '28. THE SOUTHWEST STORM Dark, dark, falls the night, Gray, gray, grows the sky, Hovering shadows round us lie g Caught in the gleam Of a wan moon's beam, Held in the spell Of a magic dream, They fade and die. Sweet, sweet, is the song Of the love-sick bird, For she sings a tale none ever heard, Of the red rose, The wild red rose, And the blue hare-bell That gorgeous grows, Down in the dell. Soft, soft, is the breeze That rustles the leaves Of the white honeysuckle under the eaves A song of love, Of a golden love, From the turtle-dove, Is caught on the air And wafted there. Black, black, are the clouds That hide the sky- Not a glimpse of the pale, Wan moon on high! And the sigh of the leaves Under the eaves, And the song of love From the turtle dove, Die out with the breeze. Dark, dark, is the night Black, black, is the sky, Never a shadow hovers nigh. But the morning breeze, Sobs in the pine trees, And only the moan Of the breaking storm, Is heard with the sighing leaves. K.

His workmen, that is, the shipper, the bookkeeper, factory help and janitor, were all one and the same man, who went under the name of Paul, because one man was sufiicient for these po- sitions in Stark's small business. Now although John was honest, Cat least he thought sol, he was a sharp and smooth talker, and believed strongly in the say- ing that lots of oil keeps things moving. He was also very thrifty. In fact, he was so thrifty it proved to be his undoing. John had told the shipper, Paul, to pack all fragile parts in newspapers because they were inexpensive and served the pur- pose very well. A very large order was received but its shipment was de- layed for the want of stock and insufiicient funds for the pur- chase of more. This order came from the only large customer that John had, in fact the one who made his continuance pos- sible. Therefore John decided upon some shady strategy, for he was desperate for money. After three or four inquiries as to the whereabouts of their goods from the firm who had placed the order, John sent a bill to make it appear as if their goods had been delivered. Time went on, and in reply to numerous telephone callls and letters from them, John still insisted that the order was filled, and that the goods had been delivered and must be in transit. Matters went on like this for three months. Meanwhile, Stark scraped together enough money to buy the required stock. After dating the invoice in favor of his previous lie, the goods were shipped. Four days later, he received a telephone call from the Gen- eral Superintendent of the firm who had placed the order, and the following conversation ensued: Hello. ls Stark there ? Yes. Stark's speaking. I finally received that shipment. Well, didn't I tell you it was shipped ? Upon what date 'did the shipment take place ? The date of your invoice. Lies, all lies. Now, Stark, listen to me. That shipment was packed in last week's newspapers. Hereafter we will deal elsewhere. Marjorie Sickoll, '27.

George Candle, a stocky man of about fifty years of age, was captain of the C. G. 535 , a rum chaser. Somewhere along his territory, rum was being landed constantly. This informa- tion had been received from the land coast guard, who had seen rum runners on shore upon several occasions. However, they frequently escaped with large cargoes. Consequently the blame was laid upon Captain Candle, because it was his duty to prevent the landing of liquor. But the mystery remained. How does the rum get past the line ? Not a boat could be found at any time within the limits. The captain was indeed baffled. At this point his thoughts were interrupted by the arrival of a young officer, Lieutenant Warren Knowlton. Lights to the starboard approaching stern'ard, Sir! This was a ray of hope to the captain. Give orders to take after it , commanded Candle. Lieutenant Knowlton saluted, and went to execute the orders of his commander. There's a promising young fellowv, said the captain, Won- der if he can solve this situation. Guess I'll try him. Ahoy, there! Benton, go below and send Lieutenant Knowlton for'ard. Yes, Sir! acknowledged Benton. In the mean time the lights ahead had turned out to be those of an innocent craft. Another disappointment. Did you call me, Sir '? asked Lieutenant Knowlton, almost immediately. Yes, do you think you can solve the mystery ? asked the captain. I'll try, Sir , was the response, after a momentary pause. Well, start right in , ordered the Captain. Yes, Sir . The next morning, Knowlton went ashore with a few men in the cutter to look around. While walking along the beach, they came upon foot-prints. Another cargo landed last night, ejaculated Knowlton. Then he observed something on the shore which came to a point in front. As the Lieutenant stooped to examine the im- prints, a shiny object caught his eye. He picked it up. It was a match case, with the initials C. M. Where have I seen this before ? asked Knowlton. I have it! This belongs to the radio operator on our chaser. That means he's mixed up in it. Inside the case he found a paper with a secret code and its apparent solution. Placing it in his pocket, he gave orders to embark and started for the chaser. Upon inquiry, Lieutenant Knowlton found that the radio op- erator had secured leave the day before, to go to the wedding of his sister at Hampton, leaving his assistant in charge. The reg- ular operator was to return in the afternoon. Knowlton began to understand the plot, but as yet could not understand how the liquor was brought in. The young man 46 THE HANOVERIAN spent the remainder of the afternoon memorizing the secret code in order to decipher a possible message to a rum ship. The radio operator returned to duty at seven o'clock that evening. Having comfortably hidden himself in a supply box in the radio office, Knowlton awaited that which he was seeking. After several oiiicial messages, the operator .sent one which Knowlton recorded as follows: 50-1 to a tall pine, standing 275 yards northeast of rocky cliff . What the dickens is '50-1'? inquired Captain Candle, as they were going over it together. I can't make it out, Sir, came the reply. At one o'clock of June 22, Lieutenant Knowlton was sta- tioned with a detail of men in a thick growth of hemlock and spruce several yards from the pine referredto in the radio mes- sage. At three-fifteen, men appeared on the shore, and shortly after three-thirty a slight whir was audible from the direction of the ocean. Knowlton and his men remained breathless. The whirring thing was pulled upon the shore. Evidently it was the 50-1. At a given signal, the U. S. coast guards rushed from their places, and without much fighting, the rum runners were cap- tured. Upon examining the '50-1' it was found to be a contrivance to carry rum under the surface of the water. It was about twelve feet long and thirty-two inches in diameter, working like a torpedo, with an engine in the rear, and carrying the whiskey in the rest of the space. The machine was taken to the 'chaser'. The boat which sent this contrivance was traced and the owners were severely punished. Lieutenant Warren Knowlton was praised by his superiors and won the admiration of his subordinates. More than this, he received a commission as captain, for which he had long striven. C. Gleason, '27. THE NARROW ESCAPE It was a clear frosty night in the northern part of Canada. William Sprague, a young mail carrier, was driving his team of dogs over the frozen surface. Sprague was greatly worried, for since leaving Fort Churchill, he had been trailed by a large pack of wolves, made fierce by the scarcity of food. He dreaded the time when he must encamp for the night. His dogs were ner- vous. Dusk was fast approaching and the wolves were drawing near. He stopped by a large rock. The carrier laid his rifie, a Winchester repeater, close by, ready for the time when the wolves would rush in. After a meal of coffee and bacon, he wrapped himself in his furs and with his back to the rock, his rifle across his knees, sat down to Wait. The dogs now thor- oughly frightened, crouched toward their master. The green eyes of the wolves shone brightly in the light of the campfire. Arising with his back to the rock, his rifle ready, the carrier waited. The wolves were drawing near, quickly he raised his gun and fired. A horrible snapping told that he had not missed. Suddenly he found his cartridge belt was nearly empty. Hogv cotuld he expect to hold the wolves off With but four car- tri ges . THE HANOVERIAN 47 Crash! Crash! three volleys came from the rock above his head, then another volley and yet another. The wolves fled silently, leaving eight of their number dead on the snow. Sprague looked up and saw the faces of six men who were clothed in the winter uniform of the mounted police. It was a small patrol of the Canadian mounted police who had heard his rifle shot and hurried to the rescue. With food and ammunition restored, he hurried on to the next town. ' Elston Deane, '29, A REVIEW OF POPULAR SONGS Popular songs have progressed to such an extent that they really are a part of every-day life. Everywhere one hears snatches of them. Not so very long ago, everyone was singing Yes, We have no Bananas. It could be heard in any dance hall, in any home, and even in schools. There was a shortage of bananas at that time everywhere except at fruit stands. That song died a happy death. Next came the famous It ain't gonna rain no moe! How- ever, it still continues to rain now and then. Anyone who had poetic sense at all, and some who had no sense, composed verses for that enchanting melody. No one ever tired of the tune and strummed it constantly on their ukeleles, of which there had never been such a swarm. If you didn't have one, you were be- hind the times. Close in the wake of that song came one that was character- istic of the jazz age, Collegiate No song has ever been played in more different tempos. About that time, iiappers and sheiks appeared. The iiapper with ear-rings, shingled hair, rolled stockings and jazz garters. Tagging after the flapper wfas the sheik, with a careful part in the middle of his slickumed hair, wide bottomed trousers in which one had to move four steps be- fore the trousers moved, an evil smelling pipe, and oh! what one could see under those trousers when the sheik carefully crossed his knees! Yellow brogue oxfords and garterless socks of every hue imaginable. A result of Collegiate was the Harvard Hop. Only those who dance can tell you that it was the jazziest dance ever invented. Yes, Sir, That's My Baby made its debut next. Accom- panying this song was the saxophone, the only instrument that can faithfully represent the call of the wild and the passion of the barbarian. To the music of the saxophone one danced the Charleston Nearly everyone has mastered a few of the many intricate steps of this dance. One still dances the Charleston, but now to the tune of Poor Papa. To begin with, the theme of this song is as old as the hills: Don't get married ! If you do, it will be Poor Papa all your life. This song has a lot of truth in it. For instance: one of the lines of the song says that Mama get fur coats and expensive frocks for Christmas, while Papa gets a necktie and a pair of ten-cent socks. If you don't believe this, ask any man what he generally gets for Christmas. This song is still being sung and is exceedingly popular. Here's to the popular song. Let each one have its day, for tomorrow it will die. Marjorie packard, 726. 48 THE HANOVERIAN A SECOND SHERLOCK HOLMES H Allie, Allie, cried a gay voice down the corridor. Come here quick! Here's a mystery for you to solve. Mary didn't wait for me to come up but she raced, waving a newspaper excitedly. Listen to this! 'Famous Chalda locket stolen. Mystery un- solved. John Jackson arrested on suspicionf Imagine that! Now I think he must be guilty, he always acts so sneaky and fur- tive like. Anyway its up to you to prove him innocent, even if he is guilty. Come on, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, I want to introduce you to the girls l Well, said I, I'll come, all right, but I don't understand. What's all the excitement? I wish you wouldn't talk so fast, but would give a fella time to think what you say. What are you laughing at? Have you girls got a joke on me ? No, really, the great Chalda locket that Mr. Jones kept in a triple-safe and guarded day and night, has been stolen. They think Jackson took it because he was 'snooping' around the building and because he had boasted that he could get it. Gracious! So was I around that building last night. Glad they didn't see me I Oh, quit your kiddin', you wouldn't dare look out of the window on a dark night. Oh, is that so! You think- but the next instant I was swept off my feet by an avalanche of girls. At the end of an hour they had left, having first extracted from me, the promise to find the locket-my promise was a joke, of course, but sometimes a lot of trouble springs from a joke! It so chanced that I was going to pass right by Jackson's house that afternoon. No harm to go in and look around, so I can tell the girls I searched the house, thought I, and in I went. The house was deserted and all but the kitchen seemed to have been disused for a long time. Dust lay thick on the tables and chairs and cobwebs cluttered the ceilings. But a very peculiar thing happened. I noticed that one book in the book-case on the living room table had been touched recently, for the thick dust was be- sprinkled with finger-prints. Impulsively, I turned the book up- side down and shook it. Out fell the great, dazzling, sparkling Chalda pendant. I tucked it hastily in my sleeve-lining and, hurrying to get out of the house, almost knocked over a queer little old man, who was standing in the doorway, watching me. My son, said he, when he saw he was discovered, you have there what you think is the Chalda pendant. I pray you, give it to me and place this, the true one, in the book you have so recently opened. That ill-timed curiosity of yours, however, shows a keen wit. I presume you are that boy the villagers call 'Sherlock Holmes'- . Y--Yes! I stammered, my wits forsaking me, isn't this the real pendant ? No, my son, said the venerable old man, looking straight into my eyes and disconcerting me terribly, this is all a joke, you know. The owner knows about it. Now you just slip this real pendant into the book, and give me that one. THE HANOVERIAN 49 Terrified out of my senses, I hastened to obey, and then be- took myself to my heels, vowing to keep my hands clear of the whole affair. About four days later I found out how very serious the thing seemed to be. Accordingly, when I learned that a search had been instituted in Jackson's house, I went down to see the out-come of it. They were certainly having a hard time of it there, and as I felt rather fresh and perky, I said, I'll bet I could find it in half a second. Indeed! said one of the men. Yes, said I, cooly, You come with me and I'll get it. Don't let him in on any account, said the man in charge. Well, anyway, you'd better look in the third book, this end, in the book-case of the living-room table. I guess we'd better give you one good thrashing instead, you young jack-a-napes! he cried. I'd give you another for not listening to your bettersj' I answered, getting hot. Bring him up here! roared the fellow, we'll let him hunt for it with a whip to help him V, Well, they dragged me into the living-room. I kicked like a mule, but I didn't like the taste of the whip very well, so I gave in, and very cocky, seized the book and shook it. Sure enough, out fell the glittering pendant. How did that get there ? cried the man, his mouth wide open. I put it there myself, said I, enjoying the situation hugely. He snatched it up, gave one look at it and swore. You little ill-begotten devil! he roared, I'll teach you to try your tricks here ! Holding me with one huge hand, he gave me the worst licking I ever had in my life. I'll say I didn't feel so smart afterwards. I gave no more sauce, I can tell you! I told the whole story from beginning to end. And when I had finished, the man walked back and forth, to and fro, gritting his teeth and clenching his hands. Presently he said, Take this boy up to head-quarters and we'll sift this matter clear. I doubt if we can do more than free Jackson. We'll never be able to get the pendant out of the clutches of that most low-down underhanded crook-Celonnef' Well, I guess that's about all. Now I'm shut up in a big room waiting till the chief comes back from dinner. I wonder what he'll do to me? K. Townsend, '27. ,l....l.-.- .

The High School Orchestra has been organized again this year under the supervision of Mrs. Stetson, music instructor at the school. The orchestra is composed of Marjorie Packard, piano, David Kingman, violing Felton Bates, saxophone, Ben- jamin Hill, drums. The Seniors have sold candy and ice cream throughout the year as a means of financing their graduation festivities. A program in honor of Old Ironsides was given at the High School consisting of songs, essays and recitations. The pupils added generously to the public donation for the preser- vation of the ship. National Education Week was observed by appropriate ex- ercises, in the High School. Superintendent Leon M. Farrin de- livered a speech on Value of Education. Mr. Orcutt spoke to the pupils on a day set aside as teachers' and pupils' day. The school presented Rex Beach's Winds of Chance at Odd Fellows Hall, November 11. A two reel comedy, and dancing were added features which helped to make it a success. This year the Seniors joined the 4-H Club under the Junior Extension Service. It resulted in a great improvement in the lunches served. The School Lunches were discontinued in April because everyone preferred eating out-of-doors. An innovation at the High School is the Detention Room. Any pupil who fails to do his work on time or who is not receiv- ing a passing grade is detained after school hours and given sup- ervised instruction. This has brought the average of the school to a higher standard than ever before. The social season of 1925-26 was ushered in with a Poverty Ball under the auspices of the Freshman Class. 1929 was the first class at Hanover High School to be given the privilege of conducting a dance during the Freshman year. Excellent music was furnished by DeNei1's orchestra of Quincy. Prizes were awarded for the two most grotesque costumes. The second annual masquerade of Hanover High was given by the Sophomore this year on March 175 Riordan's orchestra 52 THE HANOVERIAN of Brockton furnished the music. Prizes in gold were awarded to Miss Jennie Nelson for the most mirth-provoking costume, and to Miss Mary Keane for the most original. It was more than successful, financially and socially. The moving picture Miss Bluebeard , together with vaude- ville, comedy and news was given March 19. At a meeting of the Seniors, April 5, it was decided to pro- duce two one-act plays, The Crimson Cocoanut and The Trys- ting Place. They are being successfully coached by Mr. Saus- ser. David Kingman, Raymond J enness and Carl Wells have been presented with membership cards by the National Athletic So- ciety. Eligibility for membership in this Society is open to those whose average in scholarship for three consecutive semesters is above the average of the school. The Hanover High School has again been placed on the certi- fied list of the New England College Entrance Certificate Board for a period of two years. That means that graduates from this school may enter any college that is a member of the board, with- out examination. The Rockland Woman's Club recently made the Hanover High School a gift of 350. which is to be used for some educa- tional purpose. National music week was observed this year in the form of a program given and supervised entirely by the High School pupils. Various numbers by the school orchestra were presented and solos were sung. Mrs. Stetson made choices for the gradu- ation music from these.

They met and elected Alfred Shatus captain and Benjamin Hill manager. Suits were purchased, and under the supervision of Mr. Studley they started to practice diligently. The first game was played at South Dartmouth on October 6. As was expected, our team lost but the much needed experience was secured. The next game was played at Hanover with the second team of Abington. Again the home team lost, but a great improvement was noted. On October 16 We played Kingston. Hanover lost, but by this time, the ability of the players was noted, and the coach could form his opinion of what to expect for the rest of the season. ' The next game was at Rockland with their second team. The game was a one-sided affair, Hanover winning by the score of 50-0. The Hanover backs waded through the Rockland line like a tiger through tissue paper. This aroused the enthusiasm of the supporters of the Gold and Blue. On October 30, Kingston High came to Hanover. This game was hard-fought by both sides, the score being 13-13 until the last few minutes of play when a Kingston back slipped over the line for a touchdown. Next we played Brockton second team at Hanover Center. This was a very close contest until the last quarter, when Brock- ton unloosed an aerial attack that the Hanover lads could not solve. The score of this game was Brockton 21, Hanover 0. On November 11, Rockland visited Hanover. The Rockland second team having made such a poor showing in the first game, was greatly strengthened by a number of the first team men, but nevertheless, Hanover won by the score of 21-0. On Thanksgiving Day, before one of the largest crowds ever to witness an athletic contest in Hanovcr, the home team battled with Canton High to a O-0 score. During the first half Hanover had numerous chances to score, but lacked the final punch. It could not be said that this was exactly a successful season, but a start was made, and next fall, under the leadership of Stuart Studley as captain, no one can tell what the team will do. The letter men of the season are as follows: A. Shats, Capt.g B. Hill, Managerg E. Gulben, R. Jenness, C. Studley, F. Bates, A. Davis, E. Wells, S. Studley, G. Bray, C. Wells, J. Kellow. David Kingman, '26. BOYS' BASKETBALL The letter men in basketball of last year met and elected Raymond Jenness captain for the season of 1925-26.

Carl Wells was eliminated by four per- sonal fouls in the first half. 1 2 Hanover 11 12 - 23 Howard 17 2 - 19 The next game was at Hanover with Duxbury High as op- ponents. This was an easy win for Hanover as Duxbury was not used to such a low ceiling. For the winners Carl Wells and Alfred Davis were tie for high honors, each shooting 7 points. For the losers, Chandler and Hardy each shot a basket. 1 2 Hanover 7 12 - 19 Duxbury 5 0 - 5 On January 19, Hanover visited Duxbury and was defeated 25-17.
