Z 4 4 7 f Z 7 t 4 fwvxkwfv There is still' a germ which all the ultra-modern labora- tories from Harvard to Oxford have not succeeded in elim- inating. One may be physically, mentally and morally per- fect and yet this germ can subtly follow and poison him. Need a definition be given? In a country where we attempt to discard all insignificant hindrances and to enlarge on important theories only, why are we not broad enough to totally annihilate this petty dis- turbance? The great men whom we read and quote tell us to accept fallen humanity and to create new thoughts in spite of shat- tered ideals. The persons who are responsible for the prevalence of this susceptible germ are the very ones who are the first to cast a stone upon calm and peaceful waters. Can we not rise above this inherently petty element in human society? Are not ideals stronger than jealousies? Ideals gain for us the happiness of our future life which results in successg while jealousies, in the form of gossip, satisfy merely our present existence and develop for us more harm than good in our quest for character. All in all let us really try to understand the basic forces at work-and bear each other's errors with a willingness to forgive for the benefit of mankind rather than to indulge in primitive barbarisms which emphasize the Ego and cause us to forget the fact that our mission in life is Service Unto Others. ESTHER HANSEN, '28 THE INFLUENCE OF CONDUCT ON CHARACTER First, character must be defined. In endeavoring to dis- cuss this very profound subject I find many definitions which may be used. Perhaps the negro's conception of the word character may be the simplest and most understand- able. Wl1at a person is in the dark when no one can see THE HANOVERIAN 5 him. This, though crude, is very true, and it brings out the fact that character can not be seen by a human, but can be seen by Him who sees the heart. Man looketh on the outward appearances, but God looketh upon the heart. Therefore the only way character can be seen by our fellow humans is through our conduct. In this case conduct has no influence on character, but is the expression of our character. A person may not know his own character and may do things he thinks right, but yet, at the same time, he may be entirely wrong. This however, does not reflect upon his character because he did it unknowing of the wrong. Things may be done in the class room disturb and annoy yet this does not neces- sarily mean that the person involved has a weak or bad character, but it does mean that with a little more thought it might have been avoided. Since our conduct shows our character we should be careful and strive to cultivate only the best qualities. CONSTANCE MacPHEE, '29. OUR LIVES VVhat does life mean to each one of us? Do we realize what is expected of individuals as members of our schools and churches: as citizens of the United States? How of- ten do we consider our equipment for life? It seems plausible to consider health as the first and most fundamental element. For of what advantage is wealth, in the material sense or in the intellectual sense, without health to promote these riches? Too little do our students value health, when really it is youth's greatest asset g a heal- thy body, when we are young, prepares us for our struggle with life in the years to come. Let us consider character as our next opportunity for success in the world. just what is character? Is it not a rather broad and extensive term embodying various ele- ments in life? ' It has often been said that friends are among our great- est treasures and that our lives are often dull and uninter- esting without them. Do we not look to friends in time of trouble to help us out of our difficulty? Does it not take a person of sterling character to become a true friendg one who is willing to sacrifice, that another may prosper? 6 THE HANOVERIAN To establish a genuine friendship is not unfailing fidel- ity the most necessary quality? NVe cannot prosper without loyalty, both to ourselves and to others with whom we are most closely associated. Faith in one's self and faith in one's fellowmen will guide a person joyfully along the high- way which leads to the realization of the ideal of life. The ability to do the thing, which the student has set far ahead of him as his goal, can only be developed and made secure by thorough preparation in the schools of our nation. Do we, as students, make the most of our opportunites? Are we playing the game of life as it should be played? Patience, of course, must necessarily have its place in the realization of our ideal. No one can attain success without assigning a certain amount of resignation and application to the task in hand. All cannot be as the individual desires: everyone must wait his turn as the pilot of the wheel of life. But each one of us must make use of every moment in preparation for the day when our turn comes to act as leader of our group. Where are we to obtain our training in leadership if not in school? This is where a variety of opportunities is of- fered us that we may show our individual skill in dealing with members of a social group. It makes little difference how trifling our capacity seems to us, because it is our ef- fort at something small which prepares us for something larger when next we are called upon. Our lives are only what we make themg school offers us our opportunities. Let us grasp these offers as active members of our great and prosperous nation. C. F. S. ABRAHAM LINCOLN It has been said that Abraham Lincoln died at the right .moment for his fame. However that may be, it is certain that at the time of his death, he had not exhausted his use- fulness to his country. He was probably the only man who could have led the country through the difficulties of the reconstruction period in such a manner as to prevent the return of the passions of the war. He had the confidence of both the North and South. The North had confidence that he would save the Union and do his best toward eman- cipating the negroesg the South had confidence, after their THE HANOVERIAN 7 defeat, that he would do nothing to them out of revenge and hatred. With malice toward none, with charity for all, the greatest of victors revealed himself as a genius of recon- ciliation. Another service Lincoln could have rendered his country had he lived, would have been to clear the country of worth- less office seekers. A few days after the fall of Richmond, he pointed out to his friend, a large crowd of these office seekers beseiged his door. Look at that, he said, Now we have conquered the rebellion, but here you see some- thing that may become more dangerous than the rebellion itself. Mr. Lincoln certainly did not profess to reform principles. He gave offices to some of his friends, but in his endeavor to strengthen the Union, he searched the country for good men to hold officesg in this he frequently overstepped the limits of his party. To us of the younger generation, Abraham Lincoln has become a half mythical figure which, as time passes, will grow into more heroic proportions. This is a common lot for heroes: their tales of heroism grow more fanciful with time. The Lincoln tale is apt to be more so because of his humble origin, the contrasts, and the startling height to which he rose. This true American remained the simplest and most un- pretending of citizens, when elevated to the highest posi- tion in the land. He who could not see a creature suffer without feeling a pang in his own breast, suddenly found himself called on to lead one of the bloodiest of our wars but in his heart he was the truest friend of the South. Among the lamentations that rose with the news of Lincoln's death none voices deeper grief than 'Walt Whit- man in his poem, O Captain, My Captain. My Captain does not answer, His lips are pale and still, My father does not feel my arm, He has no pulse or will, The ship is anchored safe and sound, Its voyage closed and done. From fearful trip to victor ship Comes in with object won, Exult, O shore, and rin-g, Oh Fbellsg But I with mournful tread Walk the deck, my 'Captain lies Fallen cold and dead.

IDEN Fairman, popular tenor of station WBTS, had finished his last requested selection. En- chanted thousands listened to his melodious voice as it floated through the waves of ether, far and near. Some thirty miles, from the broadcasting station, seated by an expensive radio, and listening intently, we meet Miss Bunny Matthews. Bunny was a charming young lady with sparkling blue eyes, wavy black hair, and red, rosy cheeks. just recently she had reached that enchanting age of eight- een when young girls love to dream of dashing foreign princes. Her chief admirer was Charlie Clark, a sterling youth, who had reached the glorious age of twenty. The two were residents of the beautiful little lake town of Bancroft. Bancroft, like other towns, had its group of young people, who were at this time gossiping about the fact that. in spite of poor old Charlie's steadfast affection for her, all Bunny would do lately was to write to, and dream about, the new tenor at VVBTS. And they had reason to talk for Bunny had forgotten to remember Charlie, who had always been so good to her, and believed herself to be very much in love with Aid- en Fairman. She loved to imagine herself meeting her idol. She pictured him to herself as being tall, dark, and handsome, with snapping black eyes. As she wrote her nightly letter to the entertainer on this particular evening, Bunny was rudely awakened from her dream by the successive sounding of a familiar horn. One glance out of the window at an old Ford Coupe parked at the curb, told her that Charlie would be at the door in a moment. She was right, for in a twinkling the door burst open and a face covered with a good natured grin, spread beneath a curly mop of hair, cried, V THE HANOVERIAN 21 Hello, Bunny, Say, they're having a peach of a picture over to the Strand tonight! Let's run overlu The enthusiastic smile faded as she replied, Thanks, awfully, Charlie, but I've got just loads of homework to do, and you know how dad is. Poor Charlie tried his best to persuade her to go, but with no avail. He had reason to be downcast, for this was the third time she had turned him down because of that tenor. Oh wellf, he consoled himself as he chugged home- ward, She'll learn somedayf' Bright and early on the morning of May seventh, Bunny arose, bathed indulgently, slipped into her prettiest dress, and donned her chickest hat. She must look her very best, for today was her day of days-she was to meet her idol, her handsome tenor who had written her such wonderful letters! After an hours' ride on a tiresome train, Bunny arrived in the big city and spent several hours shopping, for she was not to meet Aiden until afternoon. Finally it grew near the time for her appointment, and as she as- cended the richly carpeted stairs leading to the studio, she could hardly breathe for excitement. On entering the re- ception room. she was greeted by a charming studio host- ess: Miss Matthews? Oh yes, Mr. Fairman phoned that he would be here in about thirty minutes. VV'on't you be seated ? Bunny seated herself comfortably and busied hereself with gazing at the many autographed pictures of the vari- ous artists. The photos of many film as well as radio stars covered the walls. Her attention was attracted to one pic- ture in particular because of the extreme homeliness of the subject. He was a short, fat man, very unevenly propor- tioned, with a large red nose and ears like cabbage leaves. Beneath huge black eyebrows were set, very close together, two stary eyes. The girl wondered who such an un- couth looking person could be and drew closer, that she might read the signature. Bunny read the name once, twice,-and then staggered to her seat. The hostess no- ticing her, asked, How do you like Mr. Fairman's photo? He wanted 22 - THE HANOVE RIAN us to hang another pose but his wife insisted on that onefy Bunny came to for an instant and managed to gasp,- His VVIFE P The hostess smiled, XVhy yes. Didn't you know he was married? They have three perfectly darling children- they are just the living images of Aidenf' As the late afternoon sun slowly wended its way toward the golden west, a very much broken-hearted and disillus- ioned little Miss slowly made her way along the boulevard leading to the station. VVhile nearing the curb, she heard the purr of eight cylinders behind her. Turning, she no- ticed a stunning little blue roadster approaching her, from inside the car a very familiar voice queried: 'iGoing home, Bunny? Bunny gazed for a moment at the tastefully dressed youth who had spoken, and exclaimed. XVhy Charlie! Wfhere on earth did you get this car? Charlie grinning from ear to ear, answered. 'glust a little present from Dad on my twenty-first birth- day. Lets gol' The two sped along, away from the turmoil and noise of the city, back to the dear little town of Bancroft where they had met, and where they had been so happy before Bunny had heard her tenor. As they rode, she thought of how foolish she had been, how mean she had been to good old Charlie, and how faithful he had been to her. How good it was, after all, to be seated securely by his side. A bend in the road brought them beside a lake which held memories, for them both. The car slowly came to a standstill and across the lake they saw a fiery sun slowly sinking into the still waters. Charlie, she broke the silence, let's go to the movies tonight. HO. K. Bunny! but, provided that you sing me a little song now, like you used to. She sang, 'AI-Ionestly and Truly, I'm in love with Yi The song was ended,-but the melody lingered on. ARTHUR CLIFTON, '28. THE HANOVERIAN 23 ADDY'S FIRST TRIP TO THE CITY gg OR pity sakes. Addy, will you turn 'round and stop gawkin' at everybody what comes into this here train ! remarked Tillie to her younger sis- ter, Addy. Aw, you'ed be turning 'round too, only you woke up this mornin' with a stiff neck. This is the first time I ever been on a train and I'm going' to take in everything that's worth takin'. So you can come down off yourn high horse and act the same as ye do at home, 'cuze I am, and ye need- n't be expectin' any different. At this outburst Tillie settled back in her seat and decid- ed to say no more, because it would only make a scene if she insisted upon Addy doing what she wanted her to. Hal He! Ha! look at this lady comin', Tillie, look at the thing under her arm. I suppose she calls that a dog. Tillie never looked up and pretended not to be with the rude creature as the lady had called Addy as she passed by. Say Tillie, don't be trying to make people think you're not with me 'cause ye're nose is jus' like mine and so's ye're hat. Tillie shuddered at the truth, but nothing could be done about it. Addy gave her pig tail a throw back and tilted her hat to the side so she could hear what was going on. Say Tillie, I jus' heard that man over there say that someone hung a wash out on the track and that the train would have to wait till it was taken in. Somethin' tells me we'll never get to the city, because people around here have awful big washings. After considerable discussion with her sister as to what the man said, Addy beckoned to him to come to her, where upon she asked him what he said about washings. Why, I said Somebody had better watch out for the men who are working on the track. Addy was perfectly satisfied but Tillie hadn't recovered from the shock she received from Addy's rudeness. The train drew in to South Station and Addy made one dive for the door. Tillie tried to grab her coat, but she 24 THE HANOVERIAN jumped from the top step to the platform with no- assis- tance. Tillie reached out her hand for the conductor's but her heel caught in a crack between the steps and she fell head first. VVell, ma told you not to wear her shoes with the high heels, but you thought they were kinda more stylish. So go ahead an' fall, I ain't sorry, laughed Addy. Tillie gathered herself up. I-Ier body wasn't hurt as much as her dignity was. K'Addy, ,why didn't you help me when I fell instead of sayin, that about my shoes? And all those people 'rouncl. They must have thoughtwe were rubes from the countryf' said the elder sister in a very stern way. 'WV ell you'ed have fallen any way. So what difference to th, people, replied her unsympathic sister. By this time the sisters had reachedtthe curbing and were waiting to cross the street. Say Tillie, whats that guy doing out in the middle of the road. Hell be getting killed the hrst thing he knows. Say Tillie, did you ever see so many of them there auto- biles, or whatever they call 'em. .Say Tillie--. '4VVell, you shut up for a little while. Everybody's laughin, at us now, said Tillie to be on her behavior. Say Tillie, if ma could only hear you now, I bet she'd send for Dr. Fish to find out whatis the trouble with your I never heard you act so nice in all my sixteen years of life. They crossed the street and made their way up to Ray- monds where Tillie was to buy a pair of shoes for john age six, and Mollie, age three. Addy tagged along behind, gazing at the tall buildings and staring into the store win- dows. Tillie stopped at a store and announced that it was Raymonds. They entered and went to the shoe depart- ment. W'hile they were looking over some shoes a gen- tleman approached them. May I help you ladies. No thank ye we don't need any help, but Tillieis trying to buy a pair of shoes for our Johnnie and Mollie, spoke up Addy. What size are they ? asked the salesman. THE HANOVERIAN 25 VVell, Johnnie is six and Mollie is three,', replied Tillie, very precisely. Alright, over this way to the adult department, please. The gentleman went to the shelves, picked out some very stunning pairs of shoes and brought them to Addy and Tillie. V Is this something like you wanted? he asked, addressing Tillie. But before Tillie could get her breath, Addy re- plied. Say one of those there shoes would make shoes and mit- tens for both of 'em. They aint half as big as that. XYell this is what you asked for, size 6 and size 3. Aw, you're all mixed, that ain't got nothing to do with their feet, that's their agesf' answered Addy in her boister- ous manner. After a good deal of explaining and figuring Tillie com- pleted her errand. They hurried back to the train CAddy still taking in what she couldj rather tired from their few hours in the big city. CONSTANCE MacPHEE, '29 A DREAM One night as I was sleeping In my bed so nice and warm, I dreamed of the Heavenly Father XVho keeps us all from harm. He seemed so very different From the stories I'd been toldg His stature, countenance and smile As some dear friend of old. He stood beside my bed and talked, And painted the portrait anew Of the one whom we called '1God But really never knew. Anonymous 26 THE HZANOVERIAN MUSIC As I entered the theater my heart gave a mighty bound! It was a pleasing sensation, for that evening a famous and distinguished gentleman was to play the o-rgan. His sup- erb playing had been advertised everywhere and now great crowds assembled to hear and see him. The last number he played stirred his audience deeply. I-Ie was improvising-and the music was extremely weird. This was what I interpreted: A man was lying sick in a hospital. He tossed and moan- ed during the day 5 here the music rumbled down in the deep bass. It was to a grateful man that the peaceful night came with its quiet rest. The music grew soft and quiet for awhile, then gradually louder-for it was morning, and again another day had started. The man was worse. His pain was severe and bitterg he struggled for breath. The sounds from the organ were short, jerky, then one heavenly cord followed by Divine Music of the Church. The man who had been sick-had died. It was almost inhuman, sitting there 3 you could almost feel the soul of the man no longer ill, free at last. It was a glorious exper- ience to live through. Those thrilling and magnificent cords soared higher and higher. No longer would Death terrify any who understood them. On and on, the man at the organ played-the sad- but yet joyful strains echoing in the hearts of the peopleg and the vast multitude listening could not fail to realize that after hearing that exquisitely harmonious music, their lives, hereafter, would be better because of it. The faces of the crowd were wonderfully softened as they leaned forward in their seats to catch every sound. The grand, rich tones swelled and receded, sometimes rough and harsh, sometimes sweet and melodious, signfy- ing, we earthly creatures, moving, toiling to accomplish great things, would sometime, too, like the man in the hospital, at the sound of music, pass forth into the depth of the great unknown. ELIZABETH L. MTAGOUN, '3l. THE HANOVERIAN 21 THE 'ASVVALLOVXV' IN A STORM A ship was seen in the distance, launching out to sea. She was large and carried herself majestically. The sea was blue and calm as the Swallow smoothly glided on its breast. Suddenly the waves looked darker! The sky was black and clouds were sending down the rain in torrents! The Swallow' was no longer majestic but was being tossed on the high billows of that angry sea. Lightning! A bright flash came down from the sky and struck the boat. A flame shot up from it. The Ere was quickly extinguished by the sprays from that wild ocean as the waves grew higher and higher. The wind was raging around the boat as if to find en- trance at is doors. At last! The dark sky was clearing, the winds were still and the lightning was no longer shooting its fire from the heavens. How still the world seemed to be after that terrific storm. Once more the Swallow wended its way through those waves, once black in rage but now blue and calm. Land was reached soon after this experience and this ship that had brought so many lives safe into the harbor, was repaired and was soon on its way once more. HILDA BARCLAY, '3l. LIFE Days seem blue and dreary, But do not be sad, For you have much more Then some people had. Life is what you make it, Cheer up and do not fret There will be days of happiness For all good people, yet. ELSIE M, THRASHER, '31 28 THE HANOVERIAN THE ORIGIN OF TOWN GOSSIP Mrs. Brown decided to go to the show one afternoon. When she entered the theater, to her surprise, there sat Mrs. Tracy. How do you do, Mrs. Tracy? Why, Mrs. Brown, I am surely surprised to see you here. I didn't decide to go to the show but you know that hubby is not working and it makes me tired to see him sit in the parlor all day long reading the newspapers. I know just how you feel, jerry was layed off last year, and I grew tired of seeing him home all day long. Did you hear that John Dolan was arrested this morning for breaking in the store at the corner? Why no! I would never believe that. I-Ie has such a lovely mother. What is the picture, Mrs. Tracy? It is john Gilbert in Romance, Isn't he marvelous, Mrs. Brown? If our every day men were only like him ! Oh, by the way, Mrs. Tracy, did you hear about the Gallagher's argument the other night? I always thought he was a brute! And she hasn't had a new hat since last Easter. Yes, and why doesn't she leave him! Oh, look at john Gilbert's eyes! Isn't he wonderful? W'hy does she act that way? Oh, yes, we must have missed that part. So it continues, part of the picture, then the local news! How much our lady friends could tell you about John Gil- bert in Romance I cannot say. John Gilbert is fascinat- ing but cannot vie with the town gossip. EARL WELLS, '28 LIVING To have a smile through every day, To cheer someone who's blue, To see your own faults readily, To gain by errors, too, To understand each thought and deed And always be forgiving, If we can do this every day, Then we are really living. ESTI-IER HANSEN, '28, THE HANOVERIAN 29 SUNSET IN THE WEST It was the hour of sunset, and the sun was fast falling in the west: leaving in it's wake a trail of glorious and fantas- tic images. The on-lookers' first impression of life was of the surf pounding out its message on the beach. But if he were to look closer, he would see a spacious desert and in its midst a large caravan resting at an oasis. On one side of the water-hole he would see the many tents of the passengers but on the other side, could be seen a large and elaborate black tent of the Unknown, While watch- ing the fantastic black tent, the person would see it undergo a change 5 first in a haze, then in a blur, and the scene would disappear forever. ROBERT DARLING, '31, SCRAMBLED HISTORY History seems so foolish, What good does it do? The same thing over and over Thereis nothing in it new. What good is it to know That Egypt once beat Norway Over at Marathon, Or was it Mobile Bay? XVhat if Barbara Freitchie Standing under a tree, VV as killed by Isack Newton, How does that affect me? Although Great Alexander By Dewey was shot down And David once killed Caesar The world still goes around. JOHN STETSON, '29 THE HANOVERIAN EVENTIDE Softly the evening star looked down, As the sunset faded away, The sky was a rainbow in itself At the end of parting day. A calm night settled over the land 5 The bright sky turned dark blue, 'O'er the lake rose a thick gray mist And flowers were wet with dew.

This was shown by the good work of coach Brooks' men this year. In spite of the fact that the teams of the two previous years were heavier and larger, the team this year was the most successful of the three due to the work of Coach Brooks. . The first game of the season was played at Stoughton with Stoughton High, on the twenty-first of September. Stoughton showed a slightly heavier team and won the game in the first few minutes of play through an inexperi- enced Hanover team, by a score of six to nothing. The second game was played September thirtieth, Cohas- set at Hanover. Hanover won this game by a score of eighteen to nothing. The third game was October twenty-sixth at North Eas- ton. The game was hard and close at the start but as usual our team opened up in the second half and broke a six to seven score with another touchdown, winning the game twelve to seven. October twenty-first we went to Plymouth to win our largest and most sensational victory. Plymouth, over con- fident, sent in their second team. Hanover got their first touchdown on the kick off which was grounded by Russell Henderson behind Plymouth's goal line. A few minute's later Curley Wells scored, forcing Plymouth to send in the first team in one large subsitution. Edgar Packard shortly after recovered a fumble and made the third touch- down. In the second half Plymouth rallied and held a score of nineteen to eighteen but in the last minute of play 38 THE HANOVERIAN o:ur1m1r1r1 1 1114110142101u1o1n1u1n111 1 111111011020 i l Q E Phillips Bates SZ Co. g Hanover ' Marshfield?

Two games were played off schedule. Hanover won the first by a score of two to nothing from the Abington seconds. The other game was played on a wet day at Braintreeg we were the victors of this game twelve to nothing. The next league game was played in Hanover with Duxbury. The day was a lucky one for Hanover, for the score was twenty-seven to nothing. The Kingston game was played at Kingston on Octob- er twenty-ninth. Both teams were out for blood and they showed it. Several bad cases of fouling were seen and three men had to leave the field for slugging. Altogether this game had a bad effect on both teams, Hanover lost eighteen to six. November fourteenth we went to Duxbury, expecting another victory but were met by a desperate team and tied twelve to twelve. November eleventh Bridgewater came to Hanover and handed us our first bad defeat with a score of fourteen to nothing. The game for November nineteenth was scheduled with Kingston but, as a repetition of slugging was feared, the game was canceled. The Brockton freshmen came to Han- over and added another victory to our list g only one first down was made by the opponents. The final score was nineteen to nothing. The Thanksgiving game was played at East Bridgewa- ter. Nothing much can be said about this game except that an overwhelming victory was made by Hanover. The score was thirty-two to nothing. The following line-up was used: Right End ----.- R. Henderson Left Tackle ........ K. Lovell Right Tackle ...... E. Leary Right Guard ...... F. Nelson Center ....... J. Kellow Left Guard ........ A.

Stetson had beaten our team twice by one basket and the saying is, All good things come by threes, so they beat us for the third and last time by one basket. The final score was 20-18 in favor of Stetson. The second game was played at Hanover with Pem- broke january 3. This game had no effect on the boys except to ruin a perfectly good Friday night and give up a lot of practice in basket shooting. The final score was 95-6. January 6, Scituate came to Hanover for the second league game and went home trounced to the tune of 56-5. Alfred Davis was changed from a guard to a forward in that game and become one of the most prominent boys in the league. January 11, we went to Plymouth for the hardest game of the season. Plymouth, being used to a large floor, step- ped right into the lead and held it until the second half. But a team that comes from a school that instills a fighting spirit into each pupil can't be beaten so the final score was 19-16. The second and last defeat was taken at East Bridge- water on Friday January 13 but what can be expected on a date like that! The score was 17-16. January 20 Norwell came to Hanover to get trimmed to the tune of 38-9. just a little revenge for a 65-1 victory about four years ago. ' January 27 Hanover went to Scituate to hang another victory on the walls of fame. The final score was 37-5. The Marshfield game was played on the afternoon of January 31. Our captain was absent so our playing was very ragged. The score at the end of the game was 26-17. February 3 we went to Duxbury and as they were our closest contenders for the League championship, there Was an electrified feeling in the atmosphere. The game was very fast and interesting but it was no use for Duxbury to cheer because they got beaten 28-21. - THE HANOVERIAN 45 iWe Call and Deliver Tel. Braintree 1053-.lg J. S.

The sturdy Pembrokers got drowned in a deluge of baskets. Shut one eye and read the score 83-1. February 17 Plymouth came to Hanover very determined to show the little Sylvesterians where to get off. The score was always close and when Hanover lost both regu- lar guards in the third quarter everybody thought the game was lost. But when Henderson and Trafton, after playing a hard game on the second team went in and finished the game in a manner which surprised the Plymouth forwards, we won with four points to spare. The score was 37-32. February 21 Duxbury came to Hanover and played be- fore a crowd that wanted a lot of excitement. Sorry to say they were disappointed because Duxbury was very slow. The final score was 38-20. February 28 the fans followed the team to Braintree where we trounced the Braintree Varsity 20-16. The game was played on the stage of the auditorium which made a very novel floor. March 2 Hanover went to Norwell and annexed another victory in spite of Norwells' rally on the night before. The score was 39-14. March 6 we played Marshfield in the last league game of the season and won by a score of 47-7. This victory made us champions of the South Shore League. Sylvester 'High School was invited to compete in the Brockton Y. M. C. A. tournament for the championship of the district. We decided to enter our team so Mr. Orcutt attended .a meeting and drew lots to see who our first opponent would be. It was Randolph. We beat Randolph in the first game of the tournament by a very large margin. The score was 37-22. The second game was the final one with East Bridgewa- ter. We were smaller than the East Bridgewater men and were handicapped by having to play without our coach and we also had to wear strange jerseys which belonged to the Berry League of the Y. M. C. A. But in spite of all this we won by a safe score of 26-9. gzgoioiuioioiniauir111231vi:11-4114111xi4it111xioiOiuini01lliQ:O ozoyjoioioioi sz 1101014 xncpugoiozoapoinwiocpoznicvi ri 1:0420 THE HANOVERIAN V 47 The team was honored by a banquet given to them by the American Legion of Hanover.

Souih Scituate Savings Ban Norwell - THE HANOVERIAN 51 GIRLS' ATHLETICS The Girls' Basketball season opened January 3 with Pem- broke. About fifteen girls came out for practice the begin- ning of the season but a few dropped out on account of conflicts with studies, outside interests, etc. Due to the lack of a trained coach, the team suffered a number of bad defeats but wound up the season with two victories from our famous rivals, Marshfield and Norwell. The inter-class tournament was dropped this year. Even though our teams had bad luck this season, we feel that all those who participated in this sport were amply repaid with the healthful exercise and good fun which they obtained. Every girl should boost the team by coming out for basket- ball next year and convincing the townspeople that we need a regular coach. Miss Millie Wells, captain, was the out- standing player of the season with 86 baskets to ,her credit. The following line-up was used. Millie Wells, Captain, Ella Oldham, managerg Mary Wells, Helen Graham, Blanche Lemish, Elvira Gulben, Madeline Merritt, Verena Guptill, Ethel Henderson and Ruth Little.

I saw the coach putting away the uniforms above my shelf in this closet the other day and I haven't been able to sleep yet. I sup- pose the next thing I'll be taken out of this place and put into action. I canit wait until the time. All the others are out but me, but I suppose Iim too old. I don't wish the other basketballs any hard luck but I wish they would croak. Then, possibly, as old as I am, I would get a chance. W'hat was that? Do I see some light? I do. They are taking me down from the shelf. It is true, or is it a dream? I wish this fellow wouldn't blow so much dust off of me, I'm getting cold. Ouch! That needle hurts. VVell, here I am ready for action. Honest, it makes me feel young again. Oh, but just the same, it is terrible I can't stand this noise. Oh! what a din, I wish now that I were back in the closet again. Gee! but Pm nervous. VVhat's that I hear? This is a real game. Oh, boy, what a thrill for an old fellow! Well, there goes the whistle. I am now in the hands of the umpire. Tweet! Again goes the whistle. Oh! what a ride. Gee! W'hat a hit in the face I got. Theyire bouncing me up and down so much I don't know where I am. I guess I've been unconscious for a long time. The air from the ride awakened me. What have they done to me? My sides ache awful. Oh what a sock I got then. Something is going to give inside of me soon. These rides are full of thrills. Oh, they broke something inside of me. What a life! I suppose this is the end of me. Well, I say these words, it was a rapping, socking good time, while it lasted. VVhat's that-E. Bridgewaterls play-Hanover won the game? All right-I'm ready to die! Call the ambulance. 54 THE HANOVERIAN ozovioiuioiu 1 0:01 1 1 110301-1 1 -aio 1 -1 1 -xioiv 1 -11 -11 914 1. ! u ! i !
