Qeniud by Kenneth Henry '38 Plebeian proleteriat, why must You shun and mock that wretched soul? You fools, you know not what you may destroy, You think your cowardice quite drole. Those eccentricities you see, that . frame So loose, that slovenly attire Are mere deceit. Mark well: behind Such walls the spark of genius kindles into fire. Gcle 7a 14 Glauaaam by Dorothy Whiston '40 In boring classroom here I sit With great intelligence my brain is lit. If I sit here very much longer, I'm sure the light must get much stronger. I'm getting so brim full of knowledge It will be foolish to go to college. O' glorious Classroom I write to thee, As long as I don't have to pay a tuition fee, And when in years I'm old and gray, Classroom dear I'll think and say, What a lot I owe to you Now that my days are almost through. ' 3151 Naiaae by Willie Byron Birds and trees, boats and seas, hills and leas, lawyers and fees, golf-bugs and tees, gosh, darn, and gees, he-men and she's, padlocks and keys, elbows and knees, parsnips and peas, douible-u and z's, Ain't nature grand! 2 6 MANET

Rockefeller Phzza : Chinatown - Pell Street: Orchard Street Greenwich Village : Skyscrapers : Conclusion : Joan, it doesn't affect your ears so much. . .up, up, up. . , chatter, then a sudden quiet. . .click. . .round the corner and next elevator. . .up again. . .up the stairs. . .here we are:...a magnificent sight, a view like one from an airplane. . .blue river, green parks, grey streets and buildings. . .a regular patchwork quilt: steaming up the river is what appears to be a toy boat some boy has set adrift...at second glance you see it is the Berengaria: in the distance the Statue of Liberty symbolizes the United States. Quiet-in the center a large, bronze, naked statue happily spouting water: French waiters: poor but ex- pensive food: tables with umbrellas: curious passersby gazing down from the street level. Silent, yellow faces gliding by the car window. The most crowded street in the world: peddlars with push-carts selling anything you can think of, a hub-bub of noise, housewives dickering, the shrill voice of a foreigner rising in native language, quarrels, every country represented daily here. Washington Square: Old greystone houses exactly alike, remnants of a colorful past. In the failing daylight as the shadows deepen it is easy to imagine the gay nineties and the characters of that age in gay, holiday clothes entering and leaving. What grand stories these grim old fortresses could tell. Tall, grey monsters. ...examples of man's mastery over the handicap of space, they make a city. . .shutting out the sunlight. . .turning the street into a dark, mysterious section. . .the top windows reflecting the sunlight seem to mock you by sayiing, 'Tm bigger than you, greater than you. What if I should fall? Oh, scared you did I? Ha, ha, ha! My main impression of New York is that it is a city of contrasts: fashionably clad men and women: dirty, half-naked children: proud, clean apartment houses: dirty, squalid, crowded tenements: bustle, confusion, darkness of streets: trees, fiowers, grass, sunlight, ponds of Central Park: bright lights of Broadway: darkness and silent mystery of Chinatown: the every-day people entering the automat almost next door to the wealthier class, dining in the Hotel Astor. Yes, New York is a city of Contrast. MANET 2 5

by Becker Climaxing a mediocre season by a tie with Quincy and a win over Weymouth another North Quincy High School football team passes on into the past and another season of thrill packed football goes down in- to the annals of sport. 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
