lVcv1.MezwL' Hark!! Mr. and Missus America, and all you little dirt-diggers. Let's go to press. FLASH! What guy from Hyde Park comes to Squantum to see Vivian Batstone? And what guy from Wollaston burns when he does come? It must be Old Home Week be- cause we just saw Barbara Munro and Jim Wells together again. How does Normie Ayers spell Rupprecht? R-O-W-E-L-L? Flash! Which of the Dionne Quintuplets is that way about Baby LeRoy? What's the score between Peg Connors and dePourtales? Who is Connie Dennison's big cross-country track star? You guess. Is Sonny Ela taking up Janet Cheney's spare time? You bet. What is Bicknell Hall's favorite color? And her first name is Nancy. A bit of new material has been discovered for the senior class play. Bob Bowlby as a Spanish Romeo. And who are some of these women that Mr. French takes pictures of? For a bit of excitement watch Phinney and Jago do the Big Ap- ple . What's the latest on Du1bsy Reilly, the bandit chaser? What were thirteen fellows from North Quincy doing up in the Blue Hills the night before the Norwood game? They were in a big, old tour- ing car, and as leaders we saw Dick Hourahan, Joe Goode, and Bob Simpson. I wonder if Vi LeBlanc and Eddie Pleadwell are still like that or if there is trouble-like Bob Church- ill? Hey, Casanova Walker, how is Jean's big college man, Ronnie? I wonder if it's the name that Dot Doane is interested in or Bill es- pecially. But Dick Hourahan seems to be cramping his brother's style. What does Cletus Buddenhagen know about Fords? From his co-incidental meetings on certain nights. Elinor Forsyth is often seen with actions in an English class we thought he was a poet. What English-Irish attraction has Bob Coleman got? It looked an awful lot like Jackie Fitzgerald. Squantum invades Wollaston. Bet- ter yet-- Harris and Finney. Speaking of Finney, Waldo, who got blamed for knocking a young lady's hat off in the show one Sun- day afternoon. Kay Broderick seems to be the central .attraction in Mr. Hofferty's English class? Does Carl Williams always depend upon Mr. Gaige for his Saturday night dates? It looks like Ross H. and Shirley W. have decided not to agree, but to disagree. Has Mal Simmons anything in common with Connie Stuart except Bill Bevans. What happened to his brother Ralph, Babe? Why is Hawco a P.G.? Maybe it's Oettenger. Why is Dan Sullivan a P.G.? If anybody knows please get in touch with some of his teachers. On the bus from Sudbury there was a crowded back seat. What went on there, Ellen Oldham? I wonder what Barbara Keith is MANET 1 5

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. Standing beside him is Coach Gloomy Grafton Howland, undoubtedly advising Mike on some of the finer points. Next is Fargo Walker in practice suit, and Fred Cobban, the missing stitch, probably soliciting for maintenance of his ball club. In the center, we have Captain Russ Hardy wearing the School Knit- ting uniform, apron and all. The bonneted figure on the right of Russ, is Bill Phinney, called in from foot- ball practice to pose for the picture. On his right stands Head Threadman Sylvia, wearing the hood-jacket pre- sented to him by' his affectionate charges. At his feet lies the team thread bucket with the red N , Continuing we have Jack DeVries, in team uniform and Ed Cameron wearing his wrestling equipmen-t. Jack is displaying the sock he knit, ted during the Milton match. H QUINCY - OESTH . IX I 'X A , ' i , l f Q EQ ee, qi R F ., 'f V' a? 9' ' - -1 ' f ' ' :P+ I ' gl' 'zu ' . .

thinking of when she day dreams? Blush. Who ever sees Bobbie Yutz and Jennie Hommel together? All you have to do is look. Where did Abba Dabba Becker get his Jewish accent for a recent public address broadcast? What did Harriet Matthews once call Bill Ryan before the Quincy game? Who is this Reilly lad who has our friend Betty King running around in circles? Bill Plhinney may go for the ball with no fear, but when it's a girl, it's a different story, although Dot Doane is managing him nicely. Query -What is the most popular game among football players?
