THE HANOVERIAN 1 l A srwaamr , ,acrnrnrnrss STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council has just complet- ed its fifth successful year in managing school problems. The Council is compos- ed of room representatives who have worked diligently to complete the Coun- cil's plans. In the past year the Student Council sponsored a dance, managed traffic, ap- proved the plan of adopting the Nation- al Society which will probably go into effect next year, made uniform rules for class elections and class dues, and super- vised the care of the school grounds and of the library. Home room Council members prepar- ed a paper explaining the policies of the school and of the Council, showing the way in which each individual student may participate in school activities. This paper was presented to each home room by one of its council members. CHESS CLUB Early in the spring of 1935, the Stu- dent Council voted to sponsor a chess club. Sixteen charter members were en- rolled and the following officers were elected: Robert Thrasher, presidentg Julius Nawazelski, vice-presidentg Alyce Finley, secretary and treasurer. Interest in chess has spread so rapidly that a tournament is being planned which will be held in June. Gordon Richmond is chairman of the tournament commit- tee. GIRL'S BASKETBALL The basketball team, captained by Mar- ion Whiting, has had a very successful season this year, losing only three games. FRE SHMEN HANDICRAFT CLUB The Handicraft Club offers an oppor- tunity to all freshman girls interested in crafts. Each member is required to make two articles to be used in one room, to keep a scrap book and a record. The of- ficers this year were: Helen Antanariz, presidentg Rose Savini, vice-presidentg Eleanor MacLean, secretaryg Eleanor Jos- selyn, treasurer. HOCKEY The second year of field hockey proved more successful than the first. Hanover defeated Kingston near the end of the season, and tied one of the games with North Easton. The schedule included: Two games with Kingston, two games with North Easton, two games with Marshfield, two games with Scituate, and one with Stoughton. PLUS ULTRA LATIN CLUB The Plus Ultra Latin Club is open to students who have had one year of Latin. Aediles, to have charge of the following meeting, are elected at each meeting. The meetings are held on the ldes of each month. The officers for the past year have been: Consul, Bertha Townsendg vice- consul, John Savinig Scriba, Dorothy Rhodes. To quote from the constitution, the pur- pose of the club is to gain a more prac- tical knowledge of Roman life, customs, history, and languageg to understand bet- ter the practical and cultural value of Lating and to interest our fellow stud- ents.

10 THE HANOVERIAN enjoying tomato seeds. The next morn- ing the hen is found in its own yard, dead. The owner of the hen can guess the cause of the hen's death and the fol- lowing morning his neighbor's cat is found stretched out cold. Even after the plants have grown, a dog destroys half a dozen lettuce plants burying bones. The owner of the dog pays fifteen cents a piece, at the demand of the grower, for the vegetables, all of which would not have brought five cents in a second class rabbit show. So, many small gardens spread hard feelings among the closely settled neighbors. Are these gardens then 'ta blessing? I would say many back yard gardens could be called the Area of hard feel- ing. J. NAWAZELSKI ON EATING SPAGHETTI Although many people consider Spag- hetti-eating a lost art, I contend that it is merely misplaced. There are still a few, very few I admit, who understand- the proper method of consuming those long, white, succulent tubes. It has long been popularly believed that to learn the artistic manner of wrapping oneself around a length of spaghetti requires long study and tedious private practice. I wish to point out that the facts of the case are utterly opposed to this suppos- ition. It is customary whenever the eating of spaghetti is mentioned, to bring up that old joke: five yards down, ten to go. The ignorant masses, taking this seriousljzf, place one end of the article in question in their mouth and inhale enthusiastical- ly According to their opinion, the sounds accompanying the act increase every one's enjoyment. In fact, one might truly say to them, HI heard you enjoyed your spag- hettif' Other people go for a reel of spaghetti the way a robin tackles a worm, pausing for breath and gasping their way along, to finish with a proud smile, but a bit awed, withal. If you have been guzzling spaghetti in this manner, you have been committing a serious breach of etiquette, besides injuring Heaven-knows-how-many people, who, observing you and knowing your reputation in these matters, went and did likewise. In conclusion, I offer a bit of adviceg Eat your spaghetti as unobtrusively as possible, and, if a yard of it unavoidably slips into your pocket and dangles before the eyes of your annoyed friends, you might call it a new watch-chain, or ex- plain that you were once a snake-charm- er and occasionally your old habits get the better of you. The whole secret of success lies in nonchalance - nothing more or less. BERTHA TOWNSEND BLOW ON The wind does And sends They race and But finally whirl the colored leaves them flying round. dance above the trees reach the ground. It also bends the birches low Until you'd think theytd break. But when the wind has ceased to blow They once against stand straight. It fills the sails of passing ships And sends them sailing on. It turns the wheels of many mills For men to grind their corn. FRANCES BROWN AT DAWN The morning stars are waning fast Dim gold against the yellow sky, And outlines of the trees off east Tell me the sun is drawing nigh, From far away, a night owl hoots, A river winds its silver thread Surrounded by A quilt of oak a shroud of mist leaves for its bed. The buds awake and with their songs, Proclaim the joyous morn to all The mist its starry radiance lifts The sun appears, a fiery ball. The feeling of the cool new day, The chorus of our feathered friends. A river rippling hard at play, While in its path the sun ascends. M. CHURCH A TOAST TO THE CLASS OF '38 A toast to the class of '38 A class which can not concentrate. Fifty-six there are in all, Some are short, some are tall Some are fat, some are thin, Some are round and big within Some are bright, some are dumb, But when the fatal day does come, The big, the small, The great, the tall, Of course they all will graduate, So! here's to the class of '38, ELEANOR MacLEAN
