TH la' .S'llll'Iil'll.llln'll' '1 Grammar School WHAT I LIKE BEST My dog is my best friend. Why I say this is because if I am kind to him he will find some way to be kind to me in return. His name is Dandy. At night he comes by my bedside and watches me until he thinks I am asleep. Where- ver I go he is always following me ex- cept when I go to school. When I go to feed him he stands up on his hind legs and waves his paws. Sometimes when I am lying down on the couch he will come and put his paws on the edge. Mary Leary Grade 5 WHAT I LIKE BEST I have three little English Setter pup- pies. They are about four months old. I play with them every afternoon after school when it is not raining. Every morning the puppies are let out and when I go to school they try to follow me. I think they would like to go to school with me. Don't you? Mary Skelding Grade 5 A PICTURE I LIKE Water is fair, Moonlight is there, Silvery flowing, where Lilies are growing, As silent the stream Drifts like a dream, Lily buds starring its Darkness with white, Softly and slowly a swan Floats along through the night. Shirley Ilsley Grade 6 SOMEBODY'S MOTHER As I was sitting in my luxurious living room, I glanced out the window and saw an aged woman looking longingly at my magnificent house. After a -time she shed a tear and walked away to her tumbled down shack down the street. The next day I saw her, a light kindly smile was on her face. I noticed a young man of about twenty-four holding her arm and carrying her little shopping bag. A day later, I met the young man who had done this deed of kindness. I asked him if the aged woman was his mother. He smiled at me and said, No, but that woman is somebody's mother. From that day on I have always jud- ged men by their kindness to everyones mother. MOTHER When I come home from anywhere, I may not show or even seem to care, But it seems to me the rooms are very bare, When my mother is not there. Alice E. Joseph Grade 6 A RAINY DAY Hurrah, hurrah, when the rain has come. Now is the time to have some fun Into the garret we'll softly creep, While outside the birdies cheerily peep. We'll eat some apples, read some books, Explore some dark and shadowy nooks. Play grownups with grandma's cloth- es, Put her spectacles on our nose. This is the way we'll pass the day, And when the setting sun's last ray Sinks out of sight, We'll go downstairs to have a bite. Then round the fireside we will gather, And listen to stories of moor and hea- ther, Of grandpa's younger days, Of queer old fashioned ways. We'1l roast chestnuts, pop some corn, Listening to the wind so forlorn. Then blessed bedtime comes, And ends our day of fun. Thelma Peterson Grade T

The hall was artistically decorated with autumn leav- es and colored silhouettes. Snappy music was furnished by Billy Cowles' and his Melodians for dancing, which was enjoyed by all from 8 to 12. Doughnuts and cider were sold. The cider was drained from an old keg which was attractively decorated with corn husks and colored streamers. JUNIOR DANCE The Junior Prom held on March 10, 1933 was a great success. Under the direction of Miss Hurley the Juniors decorated the hall most or- iginally. Pink elephants and large ad- vertising posters decorated the side walls. Cellophane stars of different sizes and color hung from the ceiling casting different colored rays of light on the floor. Herby Loud and his All Star Orchest- ra furnished the dance tunes. Ice cream and cake were sold during the intermission. At the end of the evening the Juniors left tired but pleased with their first so- cial function. SHIPBUILDER TRIPS TO NEIGHBORING SCHOOLS Early in the fall the following pupils went to Watertown High School to rep- resent the Shipbuilder Staff: Pearl Gaul- ey, Gordon Robbins, Vincent, and Byr- am Howard. After a business meeting, a banquet was held and dancing follow- ed. On January 18, another trip was taken to Braintree High School. Pearl Gauley, Geraldine Tibbetts, Eleanor Joseph, Bar- bara Smith and Elizabeth Lincoln rep- resented the staff this time and a pleas- ant time was enjoyed by all. Miss Martha Stiles accompanied the pupils on both trips. OPERETTA The Gypsy Rover a musical comedy in 3 acts given by the Norwell Glee Club under the direction of Mrs. Stetson, Mr. Booth, Mrs. Turner and Miss Hurley, was a most colorful entertainment. Frank DeFabio portraying the part of the Gypsy Rover and Charlotte Weare as Lady Constance carried their parts well. Vincent Travi and Vincent Lincoln played the part of two gypsy robbers and supplied the audience with a great many laughs. Marion Appleford as Meg made a quaint old gypsy woman and Eleanor Joseph as Zara a coy Gypsy belle. The part of Nina was played by El- eanor Wadsworth and Capt. Jerome by Malcolm Whiting. The chorus containing the rest of the glee club were very colorful in their dif- ferent costumes. Frank DeFabio and Vincent Lincoln deserve great credit for their work on the scenery under the direction of Mr. Booth. SCHOOL PLAY IN THE NEXT ROOM This year the school chose for its dramatic production In the Next Room a mystery play. This mystery called for real acting and under the direction of Mr. Rodman Booth it was cleverly carried out both from a dramatic and artistic view point. Barbara Knapp and Vincent Travi in the leading roles were charming and convincing as they unravelled the plot laid by Felix Armond 1Frank DeFabioi the suave sinister murderer. Frank's versatile in assuming two roles was highly commendable. Eleanor Wadsworth and Malcolm Whi- ting may always be depended upon to play their parts in a finished manner. No one realized the ability of Edward Joseph until his remarkable portrayal of the butler 1Rogersl. Olga Roman as Madame DeCharriere, Banning Repplier as Parks and Steven Thomas as Lakey acted the parts very well.
