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

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

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.
