20 THE SHIPBUILDER DRAMATITC CLUB A Dramatic Club was formed in January, 1933 by the students of Nor- well High, under the supervision of Mr. Rodman Booth, our drawing teacher. The purpose of this club is to give the pupils a keener interest in plays and other branches of dramatic work. Many pupils showed great interest and the club has about forty members. Everyone seems to enjoy it and there has been a large attendance at each meeting. The meetings were held on the third Thursday of each month. The ofticers were elected in January as follows: President Eleanor NYadsworth Vice-president Richard Claudette Secretary Marion Appletord Treasurer Charlotte XYeare Historian Esther Whiting These oflicers carried out their du- ties very capably. New officers were recently elected and they are: President Esther XX'hiting Vice-president XYilliam Hamblen Secretary Eunice Phelps Treasurer Elizabeth McManus Historian Florence Nelson A constitution was drawn up and approved by the club. Any article in this constitution may be changed at any meeting by a vote of two-thirds of the members. .X group of the members went to Boston to see a play but being unable to procure tickets they went to the movie Little XYomen. All of the members enjoyed it and agreed that it was a line show and the acting was very well done. The club also gave a play and 'i moving picture was shown in the High School auditorium. We believe that this club has been a real success and hope it continues. ESTHER XVHITING XVHO IS THE Best looking girl? Charlotte XVeare Best looking boy? Richard Gaudette Best boy athlete?

THE SHIPBUILDER 19 ter. He waits until he hears the fruit guy let out a sqawk an' then hops back and starts chinning wid his neighbor. looking real innocent. I slips across the street, dives under the cigar count- er, locates the jack, pockets it, an' lams through the back door while he come in the front. Gee, I laughed about it all afternoon. Ain't that hot, Inn? Sure is, agreed the bartender. Get much? I.ittle over a hundred. Then his face clouded and he sighed. Hut it didn't last long. About an hour ago I lost the whole works an' some more o' my own in the crap game in the pool room in Leavitt Street. Yuh know the place, don'tcha? It's run by Dominick Santaschini- JQSEPH DeFABIO, CONFESSIONS OF A STUDENT TO HIS 'TEACHER At present my studying lacks enthu- siasm and my work shows a total ab- sence of preparation. I go home every night 6 U and use my time read- ing, a very educational method by which I may or may not gain the ends I seek. I realize that if I changed my slack methods I might attain greater heights in my scholastic ratings. I am not consistent in any of my studies there- fore my marks are atrocious. I think it is bad for my already un- dermined health and immature brain to labor and strive 'Z't'I'j' U'lif1igl'lZff'X' try- ing to learn the l'erfect Subjunctive of the verb Amo: verbs which have no di- rect bearing on my future life or posi- tion. I realize the possibility of one day saying: l took two years of I.atin and found it very educational, my son. Otherwise I wouldn't hold the position I do. I am only telling you this for your own good. It will improve your English vocabulary greatly. My French, I grant you, may or may not come into play in my life, but as to the present, I thoroughly dis- like pondering and tearing llly hair over the I'asse Simple, position of the adjective, comparison of adjectives and the like. I thoroughly agree with you, as well as your fellow colleagues, that if I do not change my procrastinating, aim- less ways, I will be left standing in the melee. Therefore I solemnly pro- mise to change my shiftless methods and stop dilly-dallying in the serious matter of concentrated studying and put as much gusto as possible into this lost art called: Studying, THOMAS PARAIDIS ..

THE SHIPBUILDER 21 . . . Grammar School . . . DAINTY ROBBERS Get out! Go homel Or do you want to get hurt? Say yes! Say no! .Xnd put those jewels back. They put the jewels down- XYhich they had planned to take, But when they started on their way The guardsinen took their place. Now we have them cornered And we are glad of that, For they are dainty robbers That jump around like rats. Barbara NYeare, Grade 7 A CHERRY MESSAGE Mabel was recovering from a seri- ous illness in a dreary, grey, dismal, but in some ways happy hospital room. ln spare time she would sit and watch the cherry tree which had been plant- ed in a box near her bed. It was about two feet high. She had watch- ed it ever since it came out of the earth. She was thinking what she would do when it was gone. Then she heard a soft cool refreshing voice. Obi she cried, it is jerry the ro- bin, now l know spring is here. There on a branch sat jerry, his chest was as red as an apple, his cocked head against the greyish pane of the window and from his yellow bill poured a song of joy. .Xh, what if Mother Nature had not brought these two emblems of spring to Mabel. Gertrude Goldman, Grade 6 THOUGIITS The wind is howling through the trees The wheat is growing as fast as can bc, The birds are sleeping as in deep thought- The stream is racing with the clock. ln the shade are sleeping cats Airplanes are flying as fast as bats, Hornets are buzzing where children play- S These are my thoughts of today. Barbara NYeare, Grade 7 A FORM I have a duck named Susabella, She lays no eggs so l've got 'a sell All she does is eat and sleep, She won't even go peep, peep. After many years of bad luck, I had to sell my little pet duck, Now I wish l had 'a back, That ain't no lie, it's a fact. Edison lYhite, Grade 7 IN Tlrllf XYOUIJS The pines are dressed in their beau- tiful green needles: the oak, and maples are fading: the evergreens mur- mur their lonesome song: a squirrel jumps through the trees. The lone- some brook flows over the rocks, worn as smooth as glass. The sky is a beautiful blue, and in the air a flock of geese flies toward the south. l like this picture because it has some - . v ol Gods most beautiful things in it. XYesley llohnes Usborne, Grade 6
