Kenneth Henry '38 va Jam., of awp by Willie Byron During the late reign of James I, first of the Stuart line to rile England, Barnabus Patrick O'Bridge was born in a little hay-thatched bungalow in the suburbs of Hunkhew, Flumdumberlin County, Ireland. His father was Michael Aloysius O'Bridge, a parsnip merchant, who grew a variety of parsnip, now extinct, but then very popular as Irish Greens . His mother was Maggie Murphy O'Dowd whose chief occupation in life was to pick and pepper Poppa's parsnips. Barnabus' early existence was spent in growing up, his youth passed regretting it, and he recahed middle age only after he had passed his young-man- hood picking potatoes in the neighboring fields. When his mother died and his father went to Haiti to experiment with bananas, Barnabus, having been left an annuity, moved to London and passed his second childhood therein. Barnabus was a callow cynic. He soon developed a sneer-like sneer and for a While was content in mastering a complete line of sneers. However, Barnabus began to tire of slum society and suburbanity. Time dragged and his humdrum existence bored the caustic ibut none-the-less subtlel cynic. Barnabus finally decided to adopt a hobby and to adopt one satisfying all the qualifications he set up as requisite. Herein, our hero came to an impasse. No conventional hobby was satisfactory, all demanded a surplus of attention and activity, and Barnabus couldn't even summon a mite of the above-mentioned. However, his inherent genius rose to a new peak. If he couldn't find a satisfactory hobby, he'd create one according to his own requirements. He now commenced to model a game along the lines of poker and fifty- two pick-up. The game thus concocted was called bridge after its founder and Barnabus soon became exceedingly proficient in it. We can lay this proficiency to the fact that Barny was well fitted to the game so well fitted to him. He bore a physique marvelously adapted to easy chairs, he could sit for hours blankly blinking, and he learned at an early age to blunder blindly and yet maintain an indifferent and nonchalant air. Barnabus' Book of Rules and Requirements for the Successful Conduct of a Gayme of Brydge was published in 1684 by the Scratch and Scrape Printing Company of London. The original copy still remains resting piece-fully in a plush case at the Hunkhew School of Higher Learnings, Hunkew, Flurndumberlin County, Ireland. This novel and intriguing amusement was immediately taken up by the smug members of English society for economy's sake. For generations, groups had met and gossiped over coffee until this quaint little habit grew to a custom, and was religiously carried on by suc- ceeding generations. But the present members of English society were 4 MANET A number 1 gossipers and could ruin more reputations in five minutes that the ambitious English gentry could build in five generations. So far so good. But consider the ratio, a cup of coffee per ruined reputa- tion, and, totalling the cups of cof- fee, you arrive at a staggering amount of liquid, disregarding sugar, cream, and crumpets. The English society, in short, was spending every cent of that vast amount of money it didn't possess merely to feed its gossipers a decent amount of spirited coffee. When they arrived at the point where they had no more of someone's money to spend they ef- fected a reversal in fundamentals. At an emergnecy meeting of the Society Board of Blah the cogno- scenti fixed a new ratio of five repu- tations per game of bridge. Hence, you can see how the term 'grand slam' came into being. Barnabus Patrick was now famous, he was eventually knighted and died as Sir Barnabus Patrick O'Brydge, Earl of Humdrum, Founder of Brydge, and Protector of Parsnips. Time Marches On! 8 if S lk l The seven years' war! Famine! Carnage! Desolation! And Fred- erick the Great reaches the pinnacle of fame as the inventor of the 'Finesse'. The 'Finesse' is a ma- noeuver wherein you have the ace and the Jackg your opponent on the right, the Kingg and your partner, the Queen. Upon peeking in his hand while he reaches for an olive you observe the set-up and lead your Jack. If he lays off with his King, fearing the ace the doesn't cheatj he makes your Jack good. This piece of strategy laid the basis for Frederick's future political ac- tion. ll i lk if lk The Marquis of Mock, Philipe de la Phloppe, is commissioned to buy land in the New World. He carries out his orders and buys New Jersey for a pack of pinochle cards and a pamphlet on auction whist from the Algonquins. The Algonquins per- ceive the hoax too late, but being good losers, decide to take a try at some high class philan-dering them- selves. Thereupon, they invite the Seminole tribe up one afternoon for a bridge party and skin them out of house and home. But the Algon- quins don't like alligators and the Seminoles don't like sugar-cane and the result is King Philip's War . Time Marches On! Il! if il lk Ik Napoleon is sweeping across Eu- rope filling all nations with terror and leaving destruction in his path. On he roars, on to Waterloo. The inevitable meeting-the Iron Duke and the Little General! The ensuing battle, Napoleon's crushing defeat! And all because the Duke of Well- lington had a psychological ad- vantage! He had met Napoleon long before at a tea given by the latter at Versailles. During the course of the party, the Duke and his friend, the Earl of Letdown, had beaten Napoleon and Marshal Hey in three straight rubbers. Each time the rubber had depended on one play and each time the Duke had put over a psychic bid and sunk his opponents. This was the real cause of Napoleon's Waterloo. 42 lk lk Ik lk Years later! Another terrible war -this time between hostile factions MANET S of one nation. The Civil War caused, they say, by differences concerning slave states and free states, concern- ing slavery and abolition. But the real cause-aha! In the National Bridge Tourney of 1850, the first thirteen to place were Northern States' entrees. The Southern Bridge Association protested the Tourney and followings severed re- lations with the Northern faction. In retaliation, independent Northern bridge addicts raided Harper's Ferry and destroyed a large amount of bridge cards stored there. The war followed. wk Ik Ill Ill ll' The inevitable let-down! Thou- sands of bridge-sick citizens search- ing for a Utopia for con-bridge-ers. The result was the migration to the West. What's an Indian compared to a garrulous Bridge player. ik Ik Pk 'lf Ill The sad period of cheap labor. Then relief for the poor worker! Unions, Federations of Unions! The mobilization of the laborers! And the start of the unions can honestly be laid to bridge. Conditions of bridge parties were such as to de- mand some sort of governing body. Some power was needed to regulate booby-prizes, to maintain law and order, and to outlaw professional players. So the Coalition of Bridge Players was formed, and from this coalition sprung the modern union. Indeed, the C. I. O. revolted against the A. F. of L. because of a difference of opinion concerning the psycho- logical advantages of secfond-hand- low. 214 Sk if Ik Ik The Caponian era. Gangs and rackets! Years of futile attempts to jail the Big Shot. Then, success! Al Capone was sentenced to prison, 6 MANET confined to a small cell with a shy- ster lawyer who was up for five years. Capone goes through the nerve wracking period of monotony. He longs for his daily ru-bber. But two can't play bridge, at least, two couldn't until Capone invented Honeymoon bridge and played it every evening with his inmate. Ill lk ik IF lk Time passes. We reach the Cul- bertson era of Bridge, now an in- tricate game.

Tense, eager faces strained up at him, waiting for the crucial moment. He had waited a whole year for this event, yet now he felt suddenly weak, and inadequate, for what if he should fail? How would he ever hold his head up again? He could almost hear the taunting, sar- castic laughs which would be the re- sult of a failure. Therefore, he stretched to his full height and bowed majestically. All-right, he said, will you please dim the lights? The room, which had seemed so large before, seemed to hold only a. sea of hostile, expectant faces. Silently, he wished, Oh, let it be a success. Let me earn their respect, this once. He inhaled deeply, closed his eyes, and. . .whoofl It was over! All at once he heard a cheer, so fear- fully, he glanced downward. At what he saw, his countenance lit up, and a smile crossed his face, for he had done it! He had blown out all the candles on his birthday cake! Sa Zfau Qc 7a 'Wie Mwiei by Marion Mainwarning '39 Probably most of the pupils here at North go fairly often to the movies. Whether they realize it or not, a great many of the pictures they' see have a definite effect upon their school work. In English, in science, in civics, in business subjects, in languages, in history, and in geo- graphy, in art and in music, we study things that we have seen brought to life on the screeng in the theatre, we see people and places of which We already know through our school subjects. Science students could hardly fail to be inspired by The Story of Louis Pasteur, drawing students by Rem- brandt, or music students by Naughty Marietta, Show Boat, or Maytime. Business students and civics students find continual references to their work in pictures of modern times. Pupils who take Latin are made to realize, in many pictures, how great and important a language it has beeng pupils taking French or German see through the foreign films available that they are study- ing living languages spoken by mil- lions every day. The greatest contribution of the moving picture to the school, how- ever, is undoubtedly in the fields of history and literature. In many cases the two are very closely linked, often inseparably so. For instance, the film A Tale of Two Cities not only has a colorful historical setting, but also forms either a preparation for, or a supplement to, the reading of the book. Many pictures, of course, are disappointments because they can scarcely be associated with the books from which they are drawn, but, more and more, movies are being made closer to their origi- nals. It is not necessary, moreover, for a film to be historically accurate in every detail. If it recreates for the student the life, customs, and atmosphere of a certain epoch, it does well. Once it has aroused the pupil's interest in some particular subject, the subject itself will con- tinue to interest him. Students can learn facts from textbooks, but they gain a more valuable knowledge if they can appreciate the human side of history, and very often motion pictures aid this appreciation. Librarians all over the country re- port that when such pictures as So Red the Rose, The Good Earth, Mary of Scotland, and Captains Courageous are playing locally, the T-15 Gooo EARTH , ,,.x THE STORY or ,x louis PAST:-:UR Q 4 l lg ! 1 Y en' 1 QC' cg- , N ' W, K Jill xxx I ' ,L ff l- ,fy ,nl 1' I 'I I . .C ' X .L- f x .V v 'as nt, if - xfL1'3 A ,fa wv 6' Q- : XX 15' 1' wo - ' fl TQ- X459 :Oli M5 NAUGHTY NIANETTA 1 Mmm Mmwmn I ,T-g,ly-it A TALE or Two Cmzis A f' T MARY or5comNo ,4.

In some schools in the country, moving pictures are actually studied in class in connection with academic- al subjects. Whether this is practi- cal or not, surely no one will deny that the influence of the better motion pictures is to interest pupils in school work more, to increase their outside reading, and thus further their cultural background. ' avail. by Jean Finlay '42 Oh, why do women wear such things, Such silly and fantastic things, Upon their heads and over curls That sweep around in crazy swirls. Where do they get their inspiration To make the headgear for a nation? From dishpans and from stove pipe parts And all the stock of vegetable carts. Oh, some are large, and some are small, Obnoxious brims or none at all, And some with crowns that are not there To show the lady's lovely hair. 8 MANET They're trimmed with ilow'rs of every hue And fur and feathers and ribbons, too. The colors and the shapes would both Scare you out of ten years' growth. One year a basket upside down Adorns milady's curl-decked crown, The next a box that's mashed down flat The women call a gorgeous hat. It's papa who pays the prices high And fishes his pockets with a sigh To pay for bits of felt and lace To top each female's charming face. '7fxe ea. of -me Maw, sam by Willie Byron and Sam Snickerchuck It was a festive day, a day wel- come to students and a day provok- ing pride in teachers. It was THE day for South Oshkosh High School and all those connected with it. To explain, it was the day celebrating the anniversary of the donation of a valuable stamp collection to South Oshkosh High School by Jasper J. Jones, millionaire philanthropist, cork-screw king, and most important of Plush County personages. The opening ceremonies were well under way. The vast auditorium was over- fiowing with nodding students, the stage cluttered with guests and speakers, the whole functioning under the benign regard of the one and only Jasper J. Jones. The presiding oflicer, headmaster George Hightone, had just conclu-ded a lengthy exposi- tion and was trilling forth the usual introduction for the first speaker of the day. The number one orator on the list was none other than Miss Aphjenia Heppy-button, teacher of Trochosopherical Motives and Re- actions, Course I, who was also to unveil the draped object at the center of the stage and reveal the famed collection. Headmaster Hightone, reaching the peak of his dramatic build-up, majestically swung toward the left wing, and summoning his four-feet-five of sinew and non- sinew into one most dignified pose, he finished. . ...I hereby introduce a well known member of our own faculty, our first speaker, Miss Heppy-but- ton! A smattering of applause wel- comed the conclusion of his speech and resignedly accepted the next. Mr. George Phineas Hightone wheeled to his place beside Jasper J. Jones and surrendered the speaking platform to Miss Heppy-button, And as for Miss Heppy-button, wherever she was, she was beyond striking distance of the rostra. Silence reigned, no speaker appeared-Mr. Hightone fidgeted nervously, a mounting color suffused his wizened face. A titter spread through the student body, climaxing itself in a raucous laugh. The honorable J. J. Jones produced an awesome frown. The hitherto smooth-running cere- mony had struck a snag. Mr. Hightone writhed with tor- menting humiliation. In despera- tion, he arose, and although a self- averred master of any situation, found this problem most perplexing. He muttered a few inaudible words which ended in a cough, ignominious- ly and blindly started toward the hooded collection, pulled the cord, and revealed -an empty receptacle! A spontaneous laugh swelled from the crowded assemblage and mounted to a passion of uncontrolled mirth. Jasper J. Jones was on his feet, be- wildered, confused. The dominating Mr. Hightone provided a most piti- able spectacle. The other guests arose hastily, some simply standing open-mouthed, others fading thank- fully behind the wings. Some practi- cal and kindly soul had presence of mind enough to pull the curtains and bring an end to the dismal scene. But the laughter rolled on, waxing long and loud. The patter of rain reached the ears MANET 9 of the befuddled Mr. Hightone through the large window opening on the spacious lawns. He watched the clouds piling up in the east and shuddered at the apt simile it sug- gested. So fair a day to be so' spoiled, so joyous an occasion to end in such a shocking fashion. It was unbelievable, he mused, to realize that such a thing could happen. Miss Heppy-button missing! He had called her home which she shared with her sister only to learn she had not returned there the night before! Miss Heppy-button who had never been known to be absent during the last five years! His reverie was dis- rupted by a sharp rap on the office door. His new secretary, the engag- ing Miss Goldgraft, appeared. Are. . .are you ready for the meeting, Mr. Hightone? she queried. Er...why yes, Miss Goldgraft, yes, he muttered. Send the in- vestigators in. And Mr. Jones ? Why, Mr. Jones. . .of course. . . Mr. Jones. He has every right to attend. Send him right in! And tell Mr. Hamfatt to come in, also. But . . .Miss Goldgraft. . .no reporters! no reporters-by any means. Get rid of 'em, tell 'em it is only a mat- ter of. . .well. . .er. . .hmm. That's all, Miss Goldgraftf' Thereupon, Mr. Hightone, the flower of his social circle, hurried to his desk, struck a pose of indifference and aloofness made perfect by con- stant practice, and waited. The first to enter was none other than the agitated J. J. amidst flying coat tails, cane, tie, gloves, hat, and such, all of which comprises a most important factor in your impression of Jasper Jones--a self-made man 1 0 MANET - which accounts for a lot of things. The equally as fiustered submaster, Horace Hamfatt, followed, consist- ing mainly of one CD paunch, one C11 florid face of sagging con- struction, and one Q11 pair of most spindly and inadequate legs. And now the investigators, the typical poker-face one-look-and-its- solved Philo Vances of Oshkosh, Detective-sergeant Ponchi who at- tained national fame for his part in Askwhitch Case and his stooge and counter-part, Joseph Mulligan, one of those big, silent specimens of Ameri- can manhood. Only Mr. Mulligan wasn't big, nor was he silent, for that matter, but otherwise the de- scription iits him like a glove. Having effected their usual grace- ful entrance, the pair collapsed in the remaining chairs Cwhich didn't remain longh and glowered with all possible glow. Headmaster Hightone, feeling the urge of the moment, began. Gentlemen, I'm sure you feel as I do! That such a thing should hap- pen, could happen in my school will ever be my cross to bear. Quite a figure that cross to bear -yessir-lettem see how a 'man responds to situations like this, mused Mr. Hightone, and continued. For the sake of the fair name of our school, I urge and ardently hope for immediate apprehension and you can rely on Mr. Hamfatt and myself for all possible coopera- tion. All possible cooperation.. .any- time. . .we urge it. . .yessiree. . .any- time. . .fair name of our school, y'know. . .dear me. And Mr. Hamfatt subsided be- neath his superior's regal frown. Whereupon, the active brain of Detective-Sergeant Ponchi went into high-geared function. Motive. . . he muttered, Motive ...most important! Mr. Hightone, may I see the school ledgers. . .may prove helpful. Why, our books for this year wouldn't help much. But, those of last year are filed in the attic-store- room. I'l1 have those brought down. And Mr. Hightone pressed the but- ton which summoned Miss Goldgraft from the outer ofiice. It was a pale Miss Goldgraft who answered his insistent summoning. To all appearances, Miss Goldgraft was a very ill young woman, but Mr. Hightone's quick glance observed none of this. Miss Goldgraft, he snapped, will you tell the janitor to bring last year's ledgers from the attic storeroom. Yes, Miss Goldgraft, repeated the irrepressible Hamfatt. The ledgers. . .janitor. . .most h e lp ful, most helpful, don't y'see. ...up in the attic. . .on the top, y'know. . .hurry now. . .what's keeping you? Miss Goldgraft returned to the outer office to face a veritable storm of questions from the hard-bitten reporters of Oshkosh's several news- papers. Ignoring these, she sum- moned a janitor from the corridor without who dropped his idle broom and entered the office. Go to the. . .the attic storeroom and -bring down last year's ledgers, she told him and leaving her sub- ordinate in charge, she excused her- self and headed after the departing janitor. , 1 If 1 Ik Joseph Mulligan had averred Cal- tho' only to most discreet soulsj that he was the integrating force of the Ponchi-Mulligan combine. There- fore, it was most fitting that he should take this opportunity to prove it. Sending one of his most know- ing leers in the general direction of the lilting Ponchi, he spoke with what he considered subtle emphasis. Boss, dontcha think we oughta leave this 'till later. We got the lay of the land, now, and all we gotta do is give it a little thought. Be- sides, we're due at the commislfs in fifteen minutes. Guiseppe Ponchi, the occidental Charlie Chan, rose languidly Che was capable of no other tempol and directing an apologetic glance at the fast-expiring lion of Oshkosh, he stumbled merrily out of the oflice followed by Mrs. Mu1ligan's pillar of justice, Joseph, who departed with a curt nothing about telling the janitor to never mind. The investigators gone, Mr. High- tone turned wearily to the row of buttons, pressed that of Miss Gold- graft for the nth time, arose, and stood staring stupidly through rain- blurred windows. Outside, young Miss Kratz, the of- fice stenographer, heard the bell ringing for Miss Goldgraft and since the latter was out answered the sum- mons herself. In reply to the wilted principal's half-hearted queries for Miss Gold- graft, she told him of the secretary's departure after Mr. Scrubbard, the janitor. Oh yes, the janitor,. . .well, tell her to delay the order. There's no need of the ledgers until later. That's all. Upon returning to the outer ofiice, Miss Kratz came upon the secretary just returning. She marked her MANET 1 1 superior's untidy appearance and mussed hair and contrasted it to her own natty attire. She noticed also that the secretary had the ledger with her. No need of those, now, she said, The investigators have left. Mr. Hightone is alone with Mr. Hamfatt and Mr. Jones. Miss Goldgraft seemed visibly re- lieved and dropping the ledgers on her desk departed once more as hur- riedly as before. What strange behavior, mused Miss Kratz and then dismissing the thought from her mind, turned to the remaining reporters who had not followed the investigators out. ill Ill il 1 The impatiently awaited Ponchi and company did not return till late afternoon and burst suddenly in on the suppressed atmosphere of the outer oflice. Approaching Miss Gold- graft who was busying herself pre- paring notices for the broadcast, the junior member, who usually attended to such boresome details, announced himself and followed the already dis- appearing Mr. Ponchi into the ofhce all the while making a mental note of Miss Goldgraft's possibilities. Dioes he suspect Miss Goldgraft? --you say. Oh no-Mr. Mulligan was far too dull an individual-or perhaps far too nice a man-to at- tend to business during business hours. He noticed Miss Goldgraft'-s possibilities, not as a suspect, but as a future Mrs. Mulligan and it has been to dear Joseph's everlasting thankfulness he never opined this openly. As he crossed the office threshold, his shapeless ears ran into a -staccato 1 2 MANET outburst that even the loquacious Mrs. Mulligan had never matched in those days when she was loved for stew and feared for her tongue. The producer of the unintelligible ha- rangue was the much mu-stachioed Jasper and, the reason for it, from what the disturbed Mr. Ponchi could gather, was the loss of the famed collection. However, J. J. was not destined to attain the peak tif anyl of his verbal bombardment. Miss Gold- graft once more appeared this time, in her official capacity as office secre- tary. The notices, Mr. Hightone, she remarked. It's time for your daily broadcast. As she spoke, she handed the principal a typewritten sheet. The notices. . .eh. Well, gentle- men. . .the school must go on! You will excuse me? He arose and went to the outer office to broadcast. Mr. Hightone had often pictured himself undergoing a trying situation with flying colors. Here was his chance to show the staff just how a MAN re-acted in such cases. He non- chalantly approached the micro- phone, glanced at his sheet and noticed that there were a few student speakers on the list. Miss Goldgraft, he called, the students, first, please. William Williams isn'ft here, his secretary answered. He was sup- posed to speak on the Honor Society meeting. Perhaps you'd better give his notice. I think I shall, Miss Goldgraft, I think I shall. You don't suppose he's disappeared, too, do you? fto be continuedj Nwlh Zmla.-5 by Willie Byron The North Quincy Knitting team has just completed a tough schedule and one that can be termed success- ful as they won two of seven matches. Coached by the veteran Mr. How- land, who teaches the hitch and stitch method, the team showed great possibilities as it was beaten severely in only one match, the meet with the powerful alumni team. Quoting Mr. Howland, I had a grand bunch of boys. They tried hard and practiced hard. However, we were weak in fundamentals and the squad boasted no capable substitutes. Better luck, next year. After a short period of practice, the team opened their suicide schedule with a pre-season match with the alumni. The Scarlet Seam- sters presented the same line-up that appeared in all their meets. The line-up follows: Bill Phinney, left stitchg Russ Hardy, right stitchg Jack DeVries, main seamg Mike Conroy, mitreg Ed Cameron, supporting sutureg Fargo Walker, main mortiseg Fred Cobban, missing stitch. The boys were game but were facing a veteran outfit, including such sterling crocheteurs as 72 a minute Townes and Lace-Curtains Georgian. To make a long story short, the alumni walked off with the match. The score was 48 sweaters, 7 doilies, a set of curtains, and 3 tams to 11 sweaters, 4 doilies, and 4 tams. A week of rigid practice under the watchful eyes of Coach Howland and Head Threadman Silvia brought about a complete reversal of form. lfnflilfinq Seann In their second match, against Lowell Textile at Lowell, the hard- fighting thread-hashers from North Quincy produced 49 sweaters and a combination table-cloth and necktie to Lowell's 27 sweaters and 11 pairs of socks. The big gun of the Raider attack was Russ Hardy who dropped only one stitch during the whole match. For their third meet of the season, North indulged in some match play. Each player was to knit 5 sweaters and the team which dropped the least number of stitches was to be declared the winner. The opposing team, Quincy Trade, dropped 3 less stitches, but one of their players, Yho Mo, used chopsticks instead of regulation interscholastic knitting needles and so, N-orth won their second and final contest on a forfeit. Two of our mainstays, Bill Phin- ney and Fargo Walger, were in- jured during the match, developing painful bone bruises as a result of using oversized knitting needles. Coach Howland replaced them with the reliable Bill Lessard and the up- and-coming Scratch McCutcheon. However, the loss of such mainstays proved all too damaging as the team dropped their next two matches to Weymouth and Milton respectively. The Milton match was protested be- cause the Wealthy-Towners knit to waltz-time, completely disconcert- ing the Northern Needle-pushers. Needleless to say, the protest was disallowed. It was a gloomy band of knitters that left for Providence the follow- MANET 13 ing week for their first intersectional meet. The home team proved to be champions of Rhode Island and a lit- tle out of our class, but led by Captain-appointed Russ Hardy, the Pink Pin-Pliers gave their awl. But the more experienced opponents dis- played a variety of trick stitches and retained their title by a large margin. The closing meet was held at Quincy against the hitherto unde- feated Quincy High and, led by John- ny Joyce who slings a mean half- hitch, the Indigo Knotters eked out a close decision when Fred Cobban, the missing stitch, forgot to be missed and finished what he had for- gotten to begin. This constituted an infringement of rules, a foul was called, and Johnny Joyce converted with recklessness supreme to gain point, match and rubber. However, from all indications, Coach Howland is grooming a sopho- more team that'1l keep you in stitches. ' Below you see the N. Q. Knitting team pictured just as they posed for Wallie Watershot, staff photogra- pher. Reading from left to right, we have Mike Conroy, dressed in the customary knitting frock, and wearing a pair of mittens knitted by himself.

Mary Margaret Fullerton, 12-2 L'INFLUENCE DE LA FERANCE SUR LA VIE AMERICAINE Les gens de France sont bien lies avec les gens des Etats-Unis. Beau- coup d'endroits americains ont des noms francais comme, Louisiana, St. Louis, New Orleans, et Lake Champlain. Meme aujourd'hui on entend parler la langue francais, 1 8 MANET dans les villes de Saint-Louis et de La Nouvelle Orleans. La France a joue un role dans notre histoire. Elle nous a donne du secours quand Lafayette est venu ici pour aider Washington. Plus tard les gens de France nous ont donne la Statue de la Liberte. De nos jours, la France a une in- fluence sur notre vie americaine en: la science, 1'art, la decoration et les meubles, l'education, la litterature, le theatre et le cinema, la musique, la cuisine, les manieres, et la mode. Il ne fallait pas que nos soldats soient allies avec les soldats francais pendant la Grande Guerre pour nous rappeler la France, parce que par de nombreuses facons l'Amerique est bien liee avec ce pays-la. Charles Crowell, 11-1 , LE FRANCAIS EMBARRASSE Un Francais visitait les Etats- Unis pour la premiere fois, et il tachait d'apprendre l'anglais. Il ne pouvait pas prononcer ces mots dif- ficiles, 'through , plough , though , rough , parce que 1'on les prononce autrement que l'on les ecrit. Ennn il a appris comment prononcer les mots anglais, mais il etait etonne un jour quand il a vu sur un ecriteau devant un cinema les mots: Caval- cade, Pronounced Success . Le pauvre Francais s'est decide a re- tourner a la belle France et a re- noncer a la tache d'apprendre l'ang1ais. Translated from an anecdote in Christopher Morley's Reasons of My Own. Robert Martell, 11-1 LE BIENFAIT DE BENJAMIN FRANKLIN Quand Benjamin Franklin etait en France, il a recu une lettre d'un compatriote qui etait aussi en France et qui avait besoin de finance. Cet homme a demande de 1'argent a Benjamin Franklin parce qu'il en avait besoin pour retourner en Amerique. Franklin a envoye dix louis fa peu pres cinquante dollars! at l'hom- me, en lui disant qu'il ne le lui don- nait pas comme cadeau, mais seule- ment qu'il le lui pretait. Franklin lui a donne le conseil de s'etablir dans sa patrie et de donner la meme somme d'argent a un autre honnete homme qui en aurait besoin plus tard. Cet homme-ci devait faire la. meme chose en pretant de l'argent a un autre homme, et ainsi de suite. De la sorte, aucun ne payerait l'em- prunt, et au lieu de rendre l'argent, il le preterait a quelqu'un moins heureux que lui meme. Franklin a ecrit, Je ne suis pas assez riche de faire grand choseg je dois donc employer cette methode pour faire le plus grand bien avec un peu d'argent. Marjorie Ready, 12-1 LE RUSE DE RABELAIS Rabelais, le grand ecrivain fran- cais qui vivait de 1490 a 1553, a visite Rome une fois et s'est trouve sans assez d'argent pour retourner a son pays natal. De facon ou d'autre, il est parvenu ei arriver a Lyons, mais ici il ne lui en restait plus rien. Alors il pensait aux moyens de Voyager plus loin, meme a Paris. Apres avoir bien soupe a une auberge, il a loue une chambre pour la nuit. Il a dit a l'h6te que bien qu'il soit mal mis et qu'il n'ait pas de voiture, il le payerait bien. Alors il a rempli plusieurs petits sacs de pierres, et il allait chercher les ser- vices d'un garcon qui pouvait ecrire. Un jeune homme s'est presente qui a ecrit les ecriteaux suivants sous la dictee de Rabelais, Poison pour faire perir le Roi et Poison pour faire perir la Reine. Rabelais a attache les ecriteaux aux sacs, a demands au garcon de tenir secret ce qu'il avait fait, et s'est retire pour attendre les re- sultats qui ne tardaient pas a venir. Naturellment, le garcon ne pou- vait pas s'empecher de parler de la menace contre le Roi et la Reine. Les gendarmes ont bientet envahi 1'.au-berge et ont arrete l'ecrivaing et ils ont fini par saisir les sacs. Tout de suite Rabelais a demande d'etre pris devant le Roi. Comme prisonnier, on lui a donne a manger, et puis les gendarmes l'ont conduit a Versailles. La on a reconnu l'ecrivain fameux et celebre, et au milieu d'un amuse- ment general, de gros rires ont eclate dans la cour quand on a ap- pris le projet ingenieux de Rabelais de rentrer chez lui aux frais du roi.

William Cameron, 12-1 The International Exposition in Paris has attracted world-wide in- terest recently. The purpose of the Exposition is to show artistic, in- dustrial, and scientific progress in a democratic way. One of our French teachers, Miss Webstersmith, visited the Exposition while in France this summer. Miss Webstersmith be- lieves that the highlights of the Ex- position were the Pavilions of forty- two nations, especially the Russian building, the Regional and Colonial Centers, representing the different French departments and colonies, the Centre des Arts Appliques , with its gorgeous tapestries and 20 MANET jewelsg the Pavilion of Elegance, showing luxurious furs and chic stylesg the Palais de la Decouvertes , which shows modern scientific marvelsg and the Parc des Attrac- tions ', like our amusement parks on a very large scaleg and the Water trip, at night, between the beautiful buildings, with a cosmopolitan crowd on either side of the waterway. At nlght, the Exposition grounds were lighted with lights that, synchronized with organs, changed color with the changing notes of music. The visit to the Exposition, said Miss Webstersmith-and doubtless all who saw the project will agree- leaves an impression of magnifi- cence, an unforgettable memory, of a trip delightful, inspirational, and so unique it hardly seems real. 1 f' of 17 ' ff ' ff , f -fl ,XZ X f 2 f X X X I X X l X -me www by Marie Kelley '42 The Valkyrie are riding wild again!

MANET 7fzeR12leanJ4alfof14foafof6ake by Rita McFarland '41 One bright sunny afternoon that was to go down in household history, I, in a moment of inspired genius, decided to make a cake. This was a major operation. When I voiced my intention to my mother, she, in the deflating way mothers have, said, Do as you wish, but you can't waste my good eggs. You will have to buy some cooking eggs. So I hopped upon Slow Motion fmy' bicycle to youj and raced to the corner store. As I was riding home, though it would be more near- ly correct to say bouncing home, I noticed that my basket and the bag containing the eggs and a can of corn were getting very yellow and wet. It didn't take over ten guesses to know what had happened. The storeman must have been the miss- ing link to put a can of corn on a dozen of eggs. Oh, well! what was a dozen of eggs in my young life. I soon found out. I finally used the eggs, fthe good onesl my mother had. Well I beat, and I sifted and I stirred and I mixed and finally the masterpiece was in the oven. I looked at it in ten minutes' time, and it was com- ing along beautifully. Then came the supreme moment when the cake was supposed to be doneg ah, after all my trials and tribulations, now the reward in a large, fragrant, golden, brown cake. I opened the oven door! Where .... where .... was my cake? It. . .it. . . just wasn'tg that's all. I looked in the pan. If it had sunk much lower, it would have gone below sea level. The sinking may have been caused by the oven, or it may have been the fact that my brother dropped his roller skates in the middle of the floor, it may have been anything, but--the first lesson to learn in cooking, it's never the cook. ilCURTAlN CALLS ff fra, all fa? fb 7 - x f 2 2 MANET WHAT D0 700 MEAN- Arno-fPAE6'E? 14 140 by Bette Sweetser '39 Undoubtedly each of us taking the college course enjoys believing that he is over-worked and under- graded. Although I too cherish that same belief, my thoughts often wander to those unfortunate, yet still fortunate, souls who must obtain their education in Canada. For four years I shared their plight, but must confess that I received a background which I shall not soon lose. Children in grammar schools there learn much of the material taught in the seventh grades here. For in- stance, in the Ottawa Public Schools a girl takes sewing from the third grade through to the seventh, and a boy is instructed in wood-working through these same five years. Cook- ing is taught to girls for three years, in the fifth, sixth and seventh grades. The homework in these early grades, though not particularly difficult, takes about an hour and a half each night. The subjects in which it is given are usually arithmetic, spelling, history, and geography. When a pupil reaches the seventh grade, he usually takes Entrance Exams to enter collegiate, which is equivalent to our high school. How- ever, if he has received a numerical average of eighty per cent in his seventh year, he enters on a recom- mendation, and is not required to take the Entrance Exams. Class standing, rather than a place on High Honor or Honor Roll, is given. Report cards come out Safran! every month, and in accordance with a pupil's grades, he is given a class standing. The pupil receiving the highest marks stands first, the one receiving the next highest stands second, and so on. In collegiate there are five forms, corresponding to our eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. Although the subjects, with the ex- ception of Canadian and English History, are practically the same, the marking is exceedingly harder. However, this condition is somewhat balanced by the fact that the pass- ing mark is fifty whereas ours is sixty-five. The work is such that a student who gets anything between seventy and an eighty per cent is doing very well. Only the exception- al pupils receive higher grades. Not only is more homework given there than here, but also the school day is longer. The students attend classes from nine in the morning until four in the afternoon with about an hour taken out for lunch. So, if you consider yourself rather mistreated, when, after a weary day of classes, you find yourself seated in detention for some apparently minor offense, remember that your Canadian high school neighbor has not yet finished his last class. And when you are finally on your way home, remember that he has still another half hour to go, and oh, how that last half hour drags! i MANET 2 3 M, 1 ey new ow. by Marilyn Sullivan '41 Prelude : Our hotel: Streets : Broadway : Times Square Fifth Avenue Wall Street: St. Patrick's Cathedral: Empire State Building: Radio City : 24 MANET Last summer I made a short visit to New York.

MILTON SUCCUMBS TO SCARLET HORDE Dedicating the new stadium in fine fashion and christening the re- splendent scarlet uniforms, a new North Quincy eleven pushed an out- classed group of Wealthy Towners all over the turf of the North Quincy Athletic Field and pushed the ball over three times to score a 21 to 7 victory. Behind stellar line play and powerful blocking, Big Bill Moody, Rambling Bill Ryan, and Dubsie Reilly crossed the line into pay territory. Bill Phinney dis- played his educated toe by splitting the cross bars with three placements. To make this a day of days for Bills, Bill Hanson, the fifth man in the oposing backfield, blocked a Milton kick to set up a score. After Coach Donahue had flooded the game with subs , the boys in Maroon climaxed a brilliant pasing attack by scoring. A good beginning. DEDHAM DOWNS RAIDERS Displaying a brilliant pair of backs in Captain Lyman Avery and Paul Chisholm, a star-student, Ded- ham's eleven downed a bewildered and fumble-fingered Scarlet and Black eleven at Dedham. Capitaliz- I X x ing on all the breaks, fumbles, poorX f kicks, and injuries, the boys fromx the County seat showed a form that has carried them through nineteen straight games without a defeat. There is no more to be said about this game. Dedham 10-North O. NORTH BATTERS BRAINTREE Rising from the depths, an inspired Scarlet and Black eleven rode rough- shod over a fighting Blue and White team from Braintree. Only by the booting of Fullback Murray Smith did the Wampatuckians keep a point mad quartet of backs from crossing the goal line again and again. A long pass to Gilday, a nice run by Reilly, and a line buck from Hanigan, accounted for the touchdowns, and a freak rush by Moody and a place- ment by Phinney added the extra points. The whole team showed flashes of Milton game stuff. North 20-Braintree 0. WEYMOUTH BOWS TO RED RAIDERS After taking a bewildered Maroon and White aggregation by surprise, a top-notch North Quincy eleven scored on a Moody-Phinney pass, then played a marvelous defensive football for the next half, and managed to hold the slim sixpoint lead. A truly great eleven brought back a wonderful victory to Coach Donahue and North Quincy. North 6-Weymouth 0. MANET 2 7 1 0:7 bp NORWOOD TOPS NORTH After three periods of wretched football characterized by fumbles and misplays, an undefeated team from Norwood threw a pass with a prayer to down a slow, weary, be- wildered eleven in scarlet pants. After constantly knocking at the door to the goal line, a poor kick put the Raiders into a hole, which they never got out of. Norwood 6-North 0. HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF A repetition of the Norwood game gave a scrappy, but light team from Hingham a heart-breaking decision over a heavy-footed North Club. Like a baby in Times Square the weighty Northerners were at loss what to do on the field. Gaining at will, they pushed the Crononites all over the turf, but couldn't score. A last-minute pass scored for Hingham. Hingham 6-North 2. NORTH PUSHES QUINCY A brand new, both physically and mentally, Scarlet-britched horde from the North end of the city fought a favored Quincy eleven to a score- less deadlock. After taking all that Quincy could offer, the Raiders started to forge ahead. A disastrous fumble halted a drive that might have ended in victory. A brilliant goal-line stand mocked the day. A fighting North line held Quincy on North's one-half yard line. One finds it headed to pick a star so let's say there were eleven stars on the field all day. An interesting side- line to this game is the awarding of the football to the winning team. This time North's fighting Captain Bill Phinney, carried away the 28 MANET pigskin by virtue of the U. S. Mint i. e. the flip of a coin. NORTH BEATS TAUNTON Since the days of the Zoia regime, an eleven from North has found it hard to bring itself back to normal enough to beat Taunton, but this year it did, and in a fitting manner. Bill Phinney again led his mates to a 13 to 0 victory over the Taunton- ians. Moody plunged over from scrimmage early in the first quarter to put the Raiders in front and then after keeping them constantly in a hole all afternoon, a Moody-Phinney bomb plus a four-yard smash by Phinney climaxed the North scoring for the day. 04.044 Goan-by by Becker Captained by Russ Hardy, the North Quincy High Hill and Dalers completed a successful season with 6 winsg 2 losses, and a sixth place in the New England Interscholastics. Starting off with a close loss to Brockton, the plodders downed Wel- lesley, Braintree, Milton, Chelsea, and Weymouth twice, then losing a two point dual run to Quincy- 27 to 29 and climaxing the season with a sixth place-first among the teams on the South Shore.

Chrystie '40 Well, where do I go from here? Such was my thought as I entered the main door on my first day at North Quincy High. Timidly I ap- proached a door labeled Office. From the numbers of pupils gathered there the popularity of this spot was evi- dent, and overwhelming, to a new comer. 0f course, one cou1dn't ex- actly expect to be alone, but. . . . A very nice young woman behind the seemingly miles long desk must have realized by the lost expression on my face that here was a person in trouble. Out of the distance came her friendly voice. Is there anything I can do for you ? Then, in answer to my stam- mering explanation, What grade are you in? Grade? That was a new one to me. But a little thought enabled me to give an intelligent reply. There- upon she gave me a note and told me whom I was to see. Rather feebly I inquired the whereabouts of the room to which she wanted me to go - and went. After that every- thing happened in such a rush that my recollections are still vague. One thing is clear. A strange girl took me from room to room without, or so it seemed to me, rhyme or reason. I couldn't fand still can'tJ under- stand why every-body sent me to somebody else. I felt as if everyone were watching me. Probably they were. Finally the strange girl took me to my home-room teacher. By this time I was thoroughly lost. But, my home-room teacher! I looked up- 3 0 MANET and up- and up and finally saw his face gazing down at me from the clouds. A friendly face, it must be admitted. That is one good point about North Quincy High, every- body and everything is friendly. I was shown about the building by still another girl. Eventually we went back to the Assistant Princi- pal's oflice. He asked me numerous questions which I answered as best I could. Perhaps the answers were intelligent. Then, at long last, I was sent to a class room. Despite my confusion the day was fairly successful. My only real mis- take came during lunch. They told me to take the second lunch, when- ever that was, and so we went to the Cafeteria, always an interesting place to me. The tempting odor of the soup lured me into taking a bowl. I handed a dime to the girl who collected money. She looked puzzled. Then she explained that it was necessary to have the right amount of change. Embarrassed? Those seconds stretched into hours. Otherwise things went smoothly and I finally escaped from that monstrous building. For monstrous it is. The school from which I came averages about eight hundred and eighty pupils and thirty-five teachers. lk 1 ik Ill t Mary had a little lamb Whose fleas were white as snow, So where e'er the lambie went The fleas were sure to go.

Q5 The identity of the young lady is withheld, but the memory of her answer lingers , on with the in- structor. One of the requirements of the written quiz was, Define a bolt and nut, and explain the dif- ference, if any. The girl wrote: A bolt is a thing like a stick of hard metal such as iron with a square bunch on one end and a lot of scratching wound around the other end. A nut is similar to the bolt only just the opposite, being a hole in a little chunk of iron, sawed off short, with wrinkles around the inside of the hole.
