NYe were the largest class ever to enter its doors, namely: Almon Bruce, John Colburn, Mary Deliabio, Marion Hard- wick, Leonard Hatch, Evelyn Hender- son, Eleanor Maxwell, Emerson Mer- ritt, Margaret Mesheau, lda McManus, Earl Leavitt, Barbara Qsboru, Mary Usborne, Norman Robbins, Russell ll'eterson, Emily Smith, Gertrude Strachan, Frank Roman, Lloyd XYeare, Bernard White, Elmer Snowdale, lloratio Spinney, Nondino Mazzola, lYilder Claudette, Franklyn Totman, Yincent Lincoln, and Robert l'ike. lluring our whole four years we have lost only seven of this roll. I cannot relate the proverbial duck- ing in the brook as other classes have, for it was during our freshman year that a school law was made prohibit- ing hazing. .Xfter many trials and tribulations our greeness wore off, and we settled down on a business-like basis, placing the reins of our vehicle in the hands of limerson Merritt as l'resident, lfrauk Roman as Yice lil'CSltlL'lll, lda McManus as Secretary and Norman Robbins as Treasurer. lluriug the lirst year our class won honors as actors in the school play lfudymion. Uh! what tlreek tlods we were. Xthen the Basketball season began several of our members put the upper classmen in the background by their brilliant plays. Norman Robbins and lxmeisou Merritt have played on the team for four years. XYe excelled in baseball as well and liarl Leavitt has been manager of the team for four years. lYhen June arrived we took a trip to Nantasket Beach, accompanied fby Mr. Bagnall, our class advisor. A good time was a pleasant close to our tirst successful year. In the fall when we re-entered as Sophs we were greeted by a practically new faculty, Mrs. Turner having the only familiar face. -Xfter we had become acclimated and acquainted with our new teachers we found we had lost three of our class members. Nondino Mazzola had moved to Quincy. Frank Roman, our star baseball pitcher, had found employ- ment at the Fore River Shipyards. Franklyn 'l'otman was attending an art school in Boston. Horatio Spinnev and Iihner Snowdale were attending the Xorwell-Hanover .-Xgrieultural tlasses at Sylvester High School, so we still feel they are a part of us even though they will receive their diplomas from llanover, This year found us excelling again in dramatics and ath- letics. By june our bank account had swelled to such proportions that we de- cided to take a long ocean voyage to Provincetown. We were accompan- ied by Miss Ilurley and Mr. and Mrs. l'ayne. This was an extremely happy conclusion to our second year. ln the fall of 1030 eighteen dignified and talented juniors came back to N. ll. S. XYe were there in all things as the events of the year proved. In looking over our roll we found that Yincent l.incoln had left our institu- tion for that of the Boston Trade School. Robert l'ike was pursuing his much loved work, that 'of a farmer, THE SHIPBUILDER 9 and he is now noted for his excellent herds of goats. It was during this year that the fine playing of our ath- letes won for the school the South Shore Championship in basketball. Under the management of Leavitt the baseball team was again a success. In March we held our first class dance. Everyone admitted that the decorations were the most gorgeous and artistic ever arranged in the hall. lt was a success both socially and financially, which is something to our credit in this period of depression. In both play and operetta our members took import- ant parts and showed that the school could not get along without us. Amid the praises of the faculty and the ad- miration and envy of the other students our class saw the close of another year. We came back in September deter- mined that this past year would be our best. XYe looked and felt the part of the important senior. Wie gazed about us and there was our old friend of our early years of N. H. It was none other than -lohn Alexander Clark. And we knew from that moment that the class would not have to endure a dull period, for John is wit personified. And believe me he has done his bit to make this present year a success. Class officers for our Senior year were elect- ed as follows: Norman Robbins, Pres- ident: John Colburn, Vice President: lda Mchlanus, Secretary: and Emer- son Merritt. Treasurer. Our first class function was a Hal- lowe'en Dance, held amid a fantastic setting of witches and hobgoblins. lt was a success from all angles. The school play Tons of Money held in December had the most of its cast from our class, and I challenge any class to find an actor who can produce more laughs than -lohn Colburn. Again the class provided first class material for winning teams in basketball and base- ball. Our last efforts to make money were well rewarded at our Spring Dance held in May. .lune has arrived and here we are twenty strong. live claim the largest and the handsomest class ever to be graduated from Norwell High School. l take pleasure in introducing to you: Hlfssie Merritt, Class Treasurer and voted the .Xppolo Belvidere, that handsome man of old Greece, of our class. .Xll .Xmerican Clark, cheer spreader and future l'resident of the United States, because he says so. .Lloyd lYeare, voted the most depend- able member of our class.

'bfi' SALUT THE CLIPPER SHIPS The old clipper days are over And the white winged Heets no more, XX'ith their snowy sails unfolded, Fly along the ocean floor. Sails! Since before the beginning of recorded time men of the sea have used them. They were spread in an- cient days above the venturous craft of Tyre and Sidon. They drove Pho- enician merchant vessels to distant liuxine ports. They urged Greek war galleys on to conquest and coloniza- tion. Sails aided the merchants and warriors of unfortunate Carthage, and in turn benelited the sturdy conquerors of Rome. Crusader and Viking, dis- coverer and pirate. all have raised their sails to the honest winds of lleaven and fared forth confidently upon the track- less sea. Some of these ships that had sails were called Flipper Ships, which coast- ed along the shores of the .Xtlantic he- tween 1822-1378. .Xnd many of these were built right here in New lfngland. This clipper ship era reached its peak in the years I8-W-Fil when gold was discovered in California and the only safe way to the XYest coast was by the sea. Not only did the passengers get TORY off at the Gold Coast but also most of the crew, therefore it was almost in- evitably a stay of at least three weeks before the ship sailed back whence it came. The ships previous to the building of the clipper ships had trim lines, but were slow in going from New England ports to the XYest coast as they were tossed about by the strong winds while going round the Horn. The first real clippers were built in Baltimore. and although they were thicker and drew more water, the speed was increased. The first man to build and design a clip- Ver was lsaac llcliini. Soon, however. the scene of ship-building changed from llaltimore to the Donald McKay yards at lloston, and it was here that most of the fastest ships were turned out. Xorwell's yards were the Block' house, XYanton and Chittenden. .Xnd although this town did not produce any prize-winners it certainlv did make some creditable clippers. The George 'l'honias Yards at 'Nlaine were the next important lu those of lloston. lionald Mcliay built the Surprise, a ship which went from New York to Frisco in 06 days and 15 hours. One must reineniber that at that time there was no canal at l'an:una. and a trip around the llorn meant something like THE SHIPBUILDER 11 this: The ship set out from New York and thence headed due south. On her journey she met but four ships until she reached the Horn and these four ships were at least seven miles away. Therefore there is little wonder that 'men were so cruel to each other, and often-times would go stark mad from the glare of the sun upon the water. lf the men mutinied they would be put in the already over-cramped hold, El- thy, unsanitary, ill-lighted, and with its awful stench in the air. Here they would remain for the rest of the trip. whereupon they would immediately leave the ship. But T am too far ahead of my story: it required brute strength to stand the ordeal of hard tack and fish, along with the storm winds, and hard work to pass around the Ho-rn. As soon as the Horn was passed the sailing again became easier until California was reached. Some of the Clipper Ships went into the trades and one especially was so fast in coming from China to London that when it did arrive all of the build- ers of England were there to take its lines. The Red Jacket was built by the George Tho-mas Yards, and she enter- ed the service of the Cunard line, being the most popular ship among the col- lege 'students who were then training in Europe. The Donald McKay,' built in hon- or of the great builder, was launched with Captain Alden Gifford christen- ing her, but sinking seemed to be her luck as she sank three months later while being outfitted in New York. A rather amusing incident concerns the Stag Hound. ' She was being christened on a cold winter's day, and after she had been named Stag Hound all the blocks removed, and the chains ready to hold her, she re' fused to slide, so the workmen took grease and spread it over the runs, whereupon she immediately coasted down the ways into the water. These ships were very hard-pressed for room: instead of sleeping in hunks the way they had done previously, now they slept in hammocks. The lower deck and hold were filled to the utmost, so that the captain and mate might make a little cash, since they were giv- en so much cargo, and all that they took extra they were paid for. But although the hold was filthy the upper deck was holystoned until it shone like a wash-board. -Xlthough these ships were so import- ant only a few years ago. but a very few are preserved: one of these, the Cutty Sark is over in England. Mr. XYilson, from whom l gained much of this knowledge, inspected her and he had some snap-shots taken of it with him posing as the captain. ,Xt the time the Cuttv Sark was sailing to England, De Lesseps was closing the door of opportunity for the Clippers. and steam and the Diesel en- gine have since turned the lock. Clip- per Ships have gone, but even though they have they will not be forgotten for some years to come. The seas still roll around, but the sails are not vented to the winds: in- stead the steamships pass around the globe in a fast but ungraceful manner. XVilder A. Gaudette '32, The Norwell High and Grammar School is verv proud of the fact that this school led in the Thrift Record in its division in Massachusetts during the first half of the school vear and as the pupils have continued verv well during the latter half, there is little doubt but what it will hold the record for the entire year.

Seeing a candy store on one side and an ice cream parlor on the other side I did not know what to buy. I thought I was lucky. I tossed it up. If it came down on heads I would buy candy, if on tails buy ice cream. To my surprise it went in the sewer so I didn't have either. Louisa R. Prince, Grade 6 MY ADVENTURE DN THE ICE Une day Alexander and I went skat- ing. NVe were playing Fox and Hounds. I was a fox and Alexander was a hound. just as he was chasing me I went in the weakest part of the ice and I was going so- fast that I could not stop. just as soon as I fell in I hollered 'tDanger! Keep away! but Alexander did not hear me so he went also. The ice sounded like breaking glass when it broke. It was very cold, so when I got my skate wet it froze to ice and when I wanted to go home I could not untie my shoe-string because it had frozen to ice. I had to melt it with my fingers. I had a very exciting time. The next time I go skating I will be sure the ice is good and hard so I won't fall in again. This has taught me a lesson to keep off weak ice. Yllalter G. Haslett, Grade 6 ,lili-li.i.t-. GATHERING AND PACKING ORANGES About six years after the seeds have been planted, the orange trees begin to bear what we call commercial crops. The United States Department of Agriculture, after several years of ex- perimentation, has discovered that the reason fruit decayed in transportation was because of careless handling in picking and packing. The skin of an or- ange is easily bruised. That makes it easy for the decay to attack it any time. Nowadays the laws are very strict. They have inspectors going to the trees and packing houses to see that the laws are obeyed. Now they have trained 'men to do the picking and packing. Priscilla josselyn, Grade 5 THE STONE The stone had many wishes, And one of them came true, Because an elf and Fairy Queen Knew exactly what to do. The stone wished to talk with hu- mans, .Iust to have a little chat About their troubles and their wor- ries, To tell them how to act. Thelma Peterson, Grade 6 STDPPING A QUARREL A short time ago I decided to feed some blue jays whose nest was in my aunt's pear tree. Soon I had thought of an idea. Reaching out of the win' dow, I tied a small pasteboard box on a limb of the tree, and in it I put some crumbs. Two jays later came Hutter- ing to their nest and saw the little box. This idea of mine soon started a quar- rel. I made up my mind to stop it be- cause I started it. I tied another box about the same size to a limb of the tree. One jay stopped chattering and Hew to the box I had put on the tree. Later, after the crumbs were gone, the birds were satisfied and flew away. Helen Osborn, Grade 6 16 THE SHIPBUILDER g CLASS PROPHECT I received a circular the other day through the mail describing a cruise from Boston through the Panama Can- al to San Francisco. I read the litera- ture through before retiring that even- ing, and it strongly appealed to me. A few hours later I had made up my mind to take that trip and I made the reservations immediately. I started for Boston at once and arrived just in time. As I boarded the liner a porter took my bags, and followed me to my cabin. I turned around and glanced at my porter. I thought I knew him and asked his name. XYhom do you sup- pose it was? l.Ioyd XYeare. We had a delightful chat and I learned that he had been in the service tive years. The next morning I landed in New York City where I had a day to myself. Strolling up Ilroadway I entered a store to look around. I looked over to the music counter where I heard someone trying to sing: imagine my surprise when I came face to face with the singer, Klary Osborne. Klary in- formed me that she was singing her way through college. Remembering her singing in the glee club at Norwell I wondered if she would reach there in time. That afternoon I attended a ball game. The game was between the Ath- letics and the Yankees. I had a seat directly behind the Athletics dugout. The teams came onto the Iield and started warming up. I heard someone near me shout to one of the players. I turned around and there was Nlary lleliabio. I went over lu her booth and made myself known. XYhen I asked her what brought her to the ball game she told me she was the owner of the I'hillies. She shouted to one of the players and told him to send over the captain. I certainly was not sur- prised when Emerson Merritt appeared before us. As he was out of the game with a sore throat, he stayed to talk with us. Although my pal's team lost, 1 was very happy to be with some of the old element again. The next morning bright and early I was again bound for sea. Late even- ing we landed at Norfolk, Va. XYe re- mained aboard the ship until morning. As I was leaving I noticed an airplane land in the bay. It taxied up to the wharf about 100 yards distant. Being interested, I meandered over. The first thing I noticed was a sign advertising airplane rides, by the Colburn Hatch Co. The name sounded familiar and I proceeded to investigate. Two peo- ple seemed to be having an argument over some technical apparatus, and their voices were raised considerably. I saw the two men who were repairing a motor. Une of them turned and suddenly yelled I'aI. Sure enough, it was Ilatchie. The other person, still arguing, was johnny L'olhurn. They were partners in crime, and happy. After chatting awhile we took a short hop over the city. I stayed with them all day until it was tnne to leave, and then they followed the ship for a short distance, doing their stul'f. The next stop being Savannah we had a longer trip than before, and we landed the next afternoon. It was very hot and almost everyone was in- doors, At the end of the wharf my attention was turned lo a very tall man who was selling watermelons. The way this pedler was stumbling around I thought I knew him, and I did, for it was -lohn Alexander Clark. the old boy THE SHI PBUILDER 17 in person. In the course of our con- .versation he informed me that he was a member of a stock company, but that he sold waternielons on the side. As I was to remain in town overnight, I promised that I would see his show: and what a show. I left five minutes after the curtain, as I thought that my time would be worth more if spent in sleeping. After leaving Savannah we headed XYest, where We had a brief stop for freight. As we approached the pier a voice came to us in the twi- light. I decided that it was someone serenading. I landed for a walk through the town, which proved very interesting. As I was about to board any ship I heard the same voice that was heard when we were landing. 'Inst for Key for fun I thought I would do some spy- ing. I sneaked up to the cottage porch whence came the sound. A little sign attracted my attention, as it said Rus- sell Peterson, Attorney-Office. The singing suddenly awakened me from my reveries, and I proceeded to knock. The door opened, and my suspicions were correct, for there stood Pete, the old protector. He was just having his mid-evening lunch, and was listening to the radio. XYhen I asked him who was singing he seemed surprised that I did not recognize the voice. After guessing a few names he told me, and I couldn't believe him. But he asked nie to listen attentively, and sure enough it was Eleanor Maxwell, who was the sweetheart of the South. Bidding Pete adieu I returned to the boat and retired. The next few days were very stormy and I stayed in my bunk below. XVhen the weather cleared, we were at the 'Panama Canal. After a short wait we 'proceeded through. .Xt the first lock we were connected with some electric cars, to pull us through. I ascended to the upper deck opposite the first car to look it over. The driver poked his head out of a window and he looked familiar. It was ten minutes, how- ever, before I realized who the operat- or was. The way he held his mouth open gave him away, because I remem- bered how our 3rd baseman used to do it. Sure enough, it was Norman Rob- bins. lYe talked the best we could until we parted, but we had time enough to renew our acquaintance. .Xt the end of the canal we stopped at a port to leave a few passengers. I went ashore to stretch my legs, and to get some remembrances of the place. I noticed a young lady artist who was selling pictures of the surrounding country. I went over to look them over and who should turn to wait on me lint the artist herself, Marion Hard- wick. She informed me that after she hnished school there was no work at home and she came south. After pur- chasing some of her wares I returned to the boat and departed for San Fran' cisco, the end of the trip, as far as the lioat was concerned. The trip was uneventful until we entered the harbor at Frisco. .Ks I fstenned off the boat, I heard about twentv cab drivers, all yelling for trade. For fun I thought I would pick out the loudest voice. About the fourth cab along. the driver was yelling lustily Taxi: Taxi! I decided that this fwas to be my hack. I noticed a slight limp on the driver as he loaded my bags. His loud voice caused me to ponder and I began to see light. I asked the cabby if he had lived in this town all his life, and he said that he came from Mass. Instantly I told him that his name was XYhite, and true it was, for he jumped when I mention- ed the name. IVe talked over this and 18 THE SHIPBUILDER that and Bingo said he left home on account of a uwomanf' The opera was playing that night and I was fortunate in getting a good seat. I read the program through and I saw a familiar name. It kept com- ing up in my mind and finally it dawn- ed upon me. Of course I knew who it was. I remembered that Gertrude Strachan always wished to he an opera singer, and I certainly was glad that she had made the grade. I had heard that Almon Bruce had gone to Hollywood so I took a trip there after seeing Frisco. It happened that there was to he a great first night- er and all the hotels were crowded. I was referred to a private hoarding house, where I could put up for the week-end. A maid admitted me and 'I went to my room. Il'hen I came down to dinner I almost ran into a lady in the doorway. As I turned to apol- ogize I heard a giggle. Regaining my composure I realized that my landlady was Barbara Osborne. That evening I thought that I would join the crowd and go to the theatre lolihy to watch the nohility en- ter. Yarious hawkers were selling souvenirs along the sidewalk and eu- tering into the spirit, I decided to lvuy a cane. 'l'he merchant came over in reply to my signal and it was so sur- prising that I almost laughed, for there was the hoy himself, ff Almon llrucc. selling canes. Suddenly the crowd started cheering and I crashed my way into the first line. Through the public address sys- tem I heard the announcer say that the guests of honor had arrived, and would say a few words. He introduced the guests by saying that they were the two greatest actresses in the movies, -Miss Evelyn Henderson and Miss Ida Mc' Manus. Hearing their voices I at once recognized them, hut did not get a chance to see them. Two days later. in Los Angeles, I decided to visit the new west-coast huilding. the highest: in the world. On the first floor was a dress shop. with a sign that said, Madame Mesheau. dress designer. As the place was filled with women. I did not enter, hut took an elevator for the ton. On the top floor a darkie was washing windows in the one office that was there. I asked him who had the office, and he said, Massa Gaudette. I entered the office and in- ouired for the hoss. I gave mv name and was admitted to a lah. I gazed around and suddenly the boss recog- nized me. lYilder told me that he was working on a powder that could hlow the whole citv up. He proceeded to show me how it worked. Xl'e were lvent over a pile of it when suddenlv it exploded. I'p and up we went, and I thought that I would never land.

When tieorge XX'ashington was a young lioy, his desire for military ex- perience and adventure inspired a friend to advise him to go In sea as midshipman. His mother. wishing to please her son. gave her consent. hut when the hour ot' departure came, he was forlliddell to go hecallse of a letter from his uncle in lfngland who ex' ilaineal that the ltoy would he treated like a slave or a dog and would lze wasting his life on the sea: sotieorge returned to school still yearning for qnilitary service. lfortunately for tlcorgc. his father realized his son's am'iition and rejoiced in remarking that his son inherited his love for mili- tary adventure from the Washingtons. It is quite possihle that one of his t'athcr's lirst gifts to encourage his son in his military plans, a sword, inspired Wasliington Io choose the same article as the most appropriate token ot' his esteem for l.afayette and gratitude for his service to America. lt is interesting Y g THE SHIPBUILDER 21 to remark that in Lafayette's possession the French and American Revolutions were combined when the blade of the sword, made of scrap-iron from the ruins of the Bastille, was put into the hilt of the sword presented Lafayette. Again XYashington's young heart was thrilled when his elder brother, Law- rence, made preparations for the war in the XYest Indies while the eight- year-old George gazed with thrilled ex- citement and admiration not unmixed with envy. This great love for a military ca- reer did not pass with the years as do most boyish enthusiasms but developed into a definite objective. XVashington's lirst opportunity to serve his country came in 1752 when France and Eng- land were arguing about the distribu- tion of land in America, which, in turn was preparing for a possible war. Vir- ginia was greatly aroused, and Gover- nor Dinwiddie appointed the young George XVashington Major of the Mil- itia. His great personality assured the people of dependability and efficiency, and his undaunted courage inspired their admiration. XVashington's com- hnanders never questioned his ability to meet the tasks they put upon his shoulders. During the war, under orders from Fngland, Governor Dinwiddie had to send a report to the French lines, a dangerous task requiring not only a safe delivery of the message but also a return report containing information as to the location of the forces and forts of the French. Qne man had re- turned unsuccessful and now the Gov- ernor pinned all his hopes on a mere boy, Major XYashington. It took ten weeks to complete this assignment, but upon his return with the reply and his own map of the district, XVashington was put at the head of a small army. Fort Necessity, which was built as a re- sult of XYashington's mission, was surrendered by him to the French dur- ing the French and Indian XYar, which followed, and was the only surrender which XYashington is known to have made. -Xt the close of the war, XYashing- ton was chosen Commander in Chief, for it was his calm, unswerving, deter- mined sense of patriotic service to his country and his unquestionable leader- ship which saved the young .Xmerica from collapse during the ei0'ht trying 'years of the Revolution. 6 His ways were ways of truth . . . In wisdom of action, in purity of char' acter he stands alone. It is impossible to think of such a man as being with- out friends or the most binding home relationships. Indeed XVashington's life was not, for in Mt. Vernon he was a most light-hearted, tender, loving father and the most genial host im'10' inable. a C fb' Martha and George XVashington's home was always open to friends, for WYashington said that if a guest would be satisfied with the plain food prepared by his wife, he would be welcome to his home at any time. Their home rang with the shouts of merry laughter of Martha and 'Iohn Custis, NYashing- ton's stepchildren, and upon them he lavished his deep affection. In later years, the children, whom they brought to Mt. Vernon, helped to comfort and cheer the General an-d his wife after the death of Martha and John. The grandchildren grew to be a great cred- it to Mr. and Mrs. Xlashington. One of the girls was married on lVashing- ton's last birthday. XYashington's great friendship to all is shown not only in his Military but also in his Social life. This is 'proved by the ideal friendship between 22 THE SHIPBUILDER 7 Lafayette and XVashington when La- fayette said he would never have known that he was sick in America had it not been for the marks of friendship M'ashington had given him on that oc- casion. Their friendship was so great that when Lafayette returned to France he was inspired to write: Nothing could delight me so much as the happiness of hnishing' the war under your orders. Ile certain. my dear General, that in any case, in any situation, whether I act as a French or an American officer, my first wish, 'my first pleasure, will he to serve again with you. However happy I ani in France, however well treated by my country and King, I have acquired such a hahit of being with you, and am tied to you, to America, and to my fel' low soldiers, hy such an affection. that the moment when I shall sail for your country. will be one of the happiest of my life.

THE SHIPBUILDER 23 ALEDICTORY A POSSE AD ESSEM From a Possibility to a Realty XVho knows what citizen of the great Roman Empire first spoke these words? NYas it some worthy statesman speak- ing of the growth of his fatherland, which under the guidance and aid of the immortal gods had become the greatest nation of its time, or did they perhaps spring from a more humble sourceg a farmer whose prayers for an ample crop had been answered or even a sailor who- had offered his sacri- fices and had received in return favor- able winds? But whatever their or' igin, their meaning is universal and as applicable today as it was yesterday. The steam engine, the automobile, the electric power plants, the radio, and countless other inventions were once merely dreams in the minds of their inventors-today they are so real that it is impossible to imagine the world without them. From log cabin to Vkfhite House. How much these words mean to every American for they call to mind what may be accomplished when there is the will to work as exemplified in the life of him who conceived of and helped establish a government of the people, by the people and for the peoplefl May we use a poetic simile and con- sider the little brown bulb? How mea- ,ger it is! Surely not large enough to promise much. Yet, give it a few months of proper care and you will be rewarded by the beauty and color of its flower. But enough of this. Vie are not concerned chieiiy with the lives of great men and the growth of lily-bulbs. As we leave our high school careers be- hind and turn to the future before, the facts of life confront us. Sustained by the vital confidence of youth and know- ing that our possibilities are unlimited, we do not wish to evade those facts- indeed we could not, if we would. Yes, somewhere in our subconscious minds, a hidden voice tells us that the ways leading from a possibility to a reality are many. But sometimes when we see the stones and ruts in the course before us, we doubt that success is at the end, after all. XVhat hardship and disaster as well as joy and accomplish- ment may be included in the small word ad in our motto. Only the ex- periences that await us can tell. The difficulties that surround us are as numerous as our opportunities. Those of us who do not go to college and who are considering this career or that, still undecided lest we devote our lives to an occupation for which we arc not suited, will be forced to start making our own way during a period of depression which has wrought such havoc in the business world. But we must not allow ourselves to become discouraged and so fall by the way- side, because we lack the patience and conviction to realize that conditions must be only temporary. We doubt, we hesitate-but we do not fear. Taking, as they are given, the gifts which have so generously been offered us-hope, ambition, courage, comradeship-we face the future un- afraid. lYhile we have the strength we will ever strive to make our several lives the successes that will make our school and our families proud. Above all may we be able truthfully to say when age has overtaken us and we re- view the past, that, albeit slowly, we have progressed Ufrom a possibility to a reality. We would have our lives be, 24 THE SHIPBUILDER p p A not those of selfishness and ease, but those, of generosity and honest labor, in constant search for the real values of life which build character. George Dloane has visualized those ideals in his poem Life Sculpture. Chisel in hand stood a sculptor boy XYith his marble block before him And his eyes lit up with a smile of joy As an angel-dream passed o'er him. He carved the dream on that shapeless stone lYith many a sharp incision M'ith heaven's own light the sculptor shone Held caught that angel-vision. Children of life are we, as we stand XYith our lives uncarved before us, XYaiting the hour, when, at God's com- mand Our life-dream shall pass o'er us. If we carve it then on that shapeless stone XYith many a sharp incision, Its heavenly beauty shall be our own- Our life, that angel-vision.

T TRIP TO HERALD-TRAYELER BUILDING ln October the Norwell Senior class took a trip to the Herald-Traveler Building in Boston. The many different departments were visited and found exceptionally interesting, and there was more or less competition in the collection of sou- venirs. Some of those departments which were of the greatest interest were the melting rooms, the acid department and the tiling department. .Xfter leaving the Traveler building the class dined together and went to a show. Everyone seemed to have a good time and heartily enjoyed the trip. TH E SH IPBUILDE R -. -4 -Q I-4 -4 -. .. -4 ..

THE SENIOR DANCE The Senior Class of 1932 held their last dance before the prom on May 20, 1932. As each year goes by and new dances have been held, better and liner decor- ations appear. The hall was decorated with orchid, pink, and green trimmings. It gave the appearance of a May-pole. In the center of the ceiling was a large hoop, from the outside of which streamers extended to the outer edge of the walls. The chaperons' corner was very attractive. Norman Robbins was the head of the committees, and Barbara Osborne head of the decoration committee. The dance proved to be very successful both socially and financially. The music was furnished by Billy Cowles and his Melodians. Dancing was enjoyed by everyone from eight until midnight. THE STUDENT CQUNCIL lThe Student Council organization was founded by Principal Roland XY. Payne. It consists of three members from the Senior and .lunior Classes, two members from the Sophomore and Freshmen Classes and one each from the Seventh and Eighth grades. The purpose of this organization is to acquaint the students with certain new projects before they become effect- ive and to give the students an oppor- tunity to voice, by representation, their approval or disapproval of such new measures. Each social event planned by any class was presented to the Stu- dent Council for discussion and ap- proval. The members chosen by the classes were: Seniors-Earl Leavitt, president, Russell Ifeterson, vice president, Mary lleliabio, secretary-treasurer. juniors-Vincent Travi, Vincent Lincoln, Cordon Robbins. Sophomores-Eleanor NVadsw'orth, Richard Claudette. Freshmen-Phyllis Turner, Banning iRepplier. Grade 8-.loseph DeFabio. Grade 7-Roland Anderson. JUNIOR DANCE The .lunior l'rom held on March 18 was considered a marvelous success. The decorations, representing the coming of spring, required no little amount of labor on the part of the juniors, but was well worth it for. the effect during the entire evening.

Cider and doughnuts were sold and the cider being drained from a quaint old keg proved to be of much interest. The seniors under the supervision of John Colburn, the chairman, spent a great deal of time and effort on it and were very pleased to realize it was a success. PUBLIC SIJEAIQINKZ CONTEST The Public Speaking Contest held between the seventh and eighth grades of Norwell, Ilanover and Hanson on Friday, May 6, was held in the Nor- well High School Auditorium. Norwell had held the Sauccer Tro- phy for the past year but gave it up that evening when Mr. Sauccer pre- sented it to Hanson. The Norwell speakers were Evelyn Maxwell, Eleanor Gotreau, Edmund Lapham and George Dobson. The one Norwell winner was Evelyn Maxwell, first prize among the girls. During the evening the pupils from each town oifered musical selections, and the Norwell School Orchestra en- tertained with snappy numbers. :Xl- mon Bruce from the Norwell High School entertained with two solos.

It is in his memory that the people of this country rise up as one in commemoration and observance of the bicentennial of his birth. lt is the pur- pose of our teachers and community leaders to have the youth of America realize the ability and strength of this great man, and it seems appropriate to them that we indulge in deep thought and meditation in an endeavor to put forth a plan, as did XYashington. that will represent our town as it may be one hundred years hence. Norwell is said by many to be the most picturesque and inspiring beauty spot in New England. lts rolling, grassy hillsides, its quiet river, old churches and large colonial homesteads, all join in making it truly enviable in the eyes of both visitors and neighbors. Through the center of the town winds the main street, well cared for and arched over by tall, swaying elms. From this main road the less import' ant thoroughfares branch out, until they become small, gravclled, woody trails, that, although not in the best of condition, present a very attractive pic- ture to the eye. The business districts of the town are three in number and are typical comnumity centers, with one store and a small, but nevertheless well equipped garage. Norwell Center, the largest village, is, we might say, more advanc- ed, in that it contains a Savings llank and the offices of the town officials. The entire population of the town is approximately sixteen hundred, and only this last year was included in the census as part of Metropolitan Boston. Thus we have a picture of Norwell, a quaint village, rich in early American history: but let us imagine that a cloud passes over the earth, and that before we are again greeted by the warm rays of the sun, a hundred years have passed revealing the unknown of the future, a new world and new people. Norwell, 2032, but what a change has come to pass! No more of the quietness, peace, and solitude that was once so sought for, is now to be found. ln its place is a scene of unending motion, noise, and disturbance. The town is no longer an old New England village, but a bustling up and coming suburb of Boston. It no longer has its central store, where men gather on quiet summer evenings, and discuss topics of general interest. Everything has been revolutionized. The main street is now of hard pavement, bor- dered by cement sidewalks and large buildings, all the products of skilled masons and contractors. There are sev- eral beautiful theaters along the street. and the large public library, surround- ed by an expansive green lawn is an attraction in itself. Norwell has indeed improved. ln place of its farms we find an airport and many large playgrounds. This town has always shown an interest in the more perfect physical development of its children as shown by the prima- tive clinics held at the local high school in 1032. Now. however. we find the youthful members of the community subject to daily examination at a large hospital. and the change in the appear- THE SHIPBUILDER 31 ance of the children is marked indeed. The elms, which, one hundred years ago were the pride of the old New Eng- lander, have vanished, but we still see several large estates owned, possibly, by our own more fortunate descend- ants where they have been carefully preserved. Imagine all this, or is it something more than mere imagination that gives us these thoughts and inspirations for the future? W'as it imagination that led VX'ashington on to even higher levels than have yet been attained by any other American? Let us all strive to come closer to the goal reached by the father of our country, in morals, originality, and citizenship. Norman Robbins '32 574510 ESSAY -LEISURE Today as never before in the history of civilization, man has made it pos- sible by his endeavors to enjoy life more, and to have added hours for re- creation. His inventions have made it possible for him to rest, whereas in years gone by he would have been working-hard. Yet this has bro-ught him face to face with a very vital prob' lem-how is he going to use his leisure hours to the best advantage? Most everyone's leisure is occupied by something that appeals to him per- sonally. Some call them hobbiesg others call them avocationsi but no matter what the name, they include all 'pursuits which may interest one. For example, learning to play a violin is as much a hobby as collecting stamps or buttertiies. Everyone chooses as his hobby something that interests him, that will bring him happiness, and de- velops his mind. To be specific: Sports, whether en- joyed from the fields or from the side- lines, is one of the most universal and perhaps the most beneficial ways to use leisure hours. For those participating it develops co-operation, fair play, and, most important of all, a keen mind. For those on the sidelines it develops the power of observation, so necessary for life today. For some, reading heads the list of worthy uses of leisure. There are good books to interest everyone, for articles have been written by people of all nations, of every occupation and field of interest. But whether a subject is of particular interest to the reader or not, it is always valuable to learn what someone else has said or thought about it. It is in this way that reading en- ables one to form his own conclusions, in a more satisfactory manner. Travelling is a very good way for one, particularly a business man, to oc' cupy his leisure hours, for it rests as well as educates him. It is also an ex' cellent means of preparing one for pleasant memories in the future, of filling the mind with pictures delightful to recall-pictures of experiences amus- ing or sorrowful, of people of the wealthy or poor class in a happy or sad -mood, or of scenes beautiful and joy- ous such as iVordsworth mentions when in referring to the field of daffo- dils he saw along the margin of a bay when a youth, he says, And oft when on my couch I lie, ln vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye iYhich is the bliss of Solitudef, ln addition to this, travel educates one. it is evident that if one actually 32 THE SHIPBUILDER sees a country himself it gives him a much clearer idea of its geography, its industry, or its people, than if some- one were to describe it to him, for. in a little different sense, experience is the best teacher. This discussion then leads to the con- clusion that whether or not one has pleasant memories later in life. de' pends upon how one's leisure hours are spent while young. An individual usu- ally does in leisure time that which ap- peals to him personally. However, he should l'e careful to see that what ap- peals to him is likewise advantageous. For instance, Lincoln, in his leisure. read educational books. not because his parents wished him to, but because he desired to do so. W'hat Lincoln studied in his leisure helped more than any' thing else to make him the great man he was. XX'orthy leisure helps one to have confidence and trust in himself. VVhen one is alone he works and thinks the way he considers he should, not the way others would want him to. Leisure, therefore, brings out the true abilities and qualities of men. It is never too late to start using leisure to good advantage, for even in a short time much is accomplished if snare moments are used correctly. As DI-Xnnunzio has said, It is never too late to sail unchartered seas. One of the chief objectives of mod' ern education is to teach pupils how to think. and to till their leisure hours with joy and satisfaction. Certainly no better words could express this obiect- ive than those of Sir Phillip Sidney. who explains the true value of leisure by saying, They are never alone that are accompanied by noble thoughts.

Emerson Merritt took the part of an imposter, Mr. Maitland, perfectly. His remarkable make-up had the audience baffled for some time, and Norman Robbins, the real Mr. Maitland, helped lend an air of confusion to the mystery. John Clark and Eleanor XYadsworth played the part of Sprules, the butler, and Simpson, the curious maid, and provided the audience with many laughs. The quaint old aunt, Miss Mullet, was acted supremely well by Marion Hardwick. Barbara Smith as the wife of Mr. lXlaitlandg Leonard Hatch as the gar- dener: and Donald Ronan as the law- yer, acted the parts very well. The following aided in back-stage work: XYilder Gaudette, prompterl Mary Osborne, assistant prompterg Mary DeFabio, property manager: Vincent Lincoln and Frank lJeEabio, stage managers. The Class of 1032, in which there are twenty members, is the largest class which has ever graduated from Norwell High School. Peterson lost twenty-tive pounds re- cently.
