As this is the first year book to be published for three years, every effort has been made to make it interesting, impressive, and successful. To show our deep appreciation of our new school building, for the pleas- ant hours we have spent in it, and for its new facilities, that have offered us better education and student enjoyment, we sincerely dedicate this issue of The Shipbuilderf' to the Norwell High School of today and of many days to come. Surely the school and its graduates are evidence of the great progress education has made in the town of Norwell and we hope this book will be an example of the work the students of the school feel they are always capable of doing. We shall always be proud to say that we were graduated from Norwell High School.

We have attended high school in three different build- ings, and ours is the distinction of having been the first class to attend the new high school a year and grad- uate from it. We entered at the old high school September 6, 1934, 31 strong. We were: Melvin Burnside, Norman Beach, John Campbell, Richard Ap- pleford, John DeFabio, Stanley Hen- derson, Ellsworth Farrar, Jean Hatch, Olive Hatch, Ralph Litchfield, Walter Haslett, Lawrence Mott, Harold Monk, Alcester Weare, Priscilla Mer- ritt, Sylvia Dyer, Helen Osborn, Ma- rion Osborne, Muriel Liley, Marion Paige, John Gauley, Walton Snow- dale, James Tantillo, James Thomp- son, Vera Ekstrom, Betty Ewart, Fred Rosebach, Robert Henderson, Betty Buckbee, Tommy Tolman, and Alexander Roman. We were all very much elated, for at last we were allowed to go upstairs with the Big Kids. But after a few weeks that wore off, and we be- came accustomed to being called Freshie. At our first class meeting wevelect- ed the following officers: President, Stanley Henderson, Vice-President, Melvin Burnside, Secretary, Alcester Weare. Our first attempt at being host to the school was a Hallowe'en social, which was one of the most successful events of the year. This year came to a close quite un- eventfully, for that was the first time that school picnics were outlawed. At the beginning of our Sophomore year, we found one-forth ol our class missing. Betty Buckbce had moved to Bridgewater in the middle of the year, Harold Monk moved to Rock- land, Richard Appleford and Walter Haslett left to attend Boston Trade School, and John Campbell, Ellsworth Farrar, Walton Snowdalo, and Alex- ander Roman left to go to work. Francis Morrison, from Boston, and Daniel Currie from Ilingham, joined our class. Also, that September, we were surprised to find Mr. Farr teaching in Mr. Jackman's place. In the middle of the year Miss Heathcote left us, Miss Jenkins ably filling her place. We get along just as well the sec- ond year as we had the first, already having gained the good will of the teachers because of our excellent behavior. But just before Christmas we were all practically swept off our feet by the news that our dear old N. H. S. had burned flat, Friday evening, De- cember 20. And all hopes of a longer vacation vanished when it was an- nounced that we would attend Hano- ver's high school building from 2:30 to 5:30. Those were the good old days - staying out as late as we dar- ed, and barely getting up in time to eat our lunch and run for the bus. At the beginning of the Junior year we found more changes in the faculty. Mr. Fellows had taken Miss Minard's place, and Mr. Turner was our new science teacher. Edward Strachan was the new member of our class, and we were very sorry to find that John DeFabio and Olive Hatch, who had been all through school with us, had dropped out. Francis Mor- rison moved back to Boston. Now that we were growing up, we were allowed to give our first danceg the Junior Prom. Both that and our Valentine social were greatly enjoyed by all who attended. The school year of 1936-37 saw the beginning of both tri-town and inter- class plays. Our class contributed several to the cast of the tri-town play, The Neighbors. Our effort for the interclass play contest was an opcretta, Love and Whist, coach- ed by llir. Turner. These required a great deal ol' effort and time, but a great deal of enjoyment was our re- ward. At the end of the year, several of the members of the class, with other members of the high school, took a trip to Provincetown on the boat ac- companied by Mr. Farr and Mr. Turner. Everyone had a wonderful time. We entered our Senior year bub- bling over with enthusiasm. As soon as we were organized, we found that A The Shipbuilder page me Hanover High School claimed two of our classmates, Marion Paige and Jean Hatch, and that Edward Strach- an had left to go to work. But we gained three valuable members, name- ly: Jean MacLean, who is completing high school in three years, Amy Chil- lemi, from Cohasset, and Betty Mc- Pherson, from Braintree. As class officers we elected: Daniel Currie, President, Melvin Burnside, Vice-President, Priscilla Merritt, Sec- retaryg and Tom Tolman, Treasurer. Early in the season we gave a suc- cessful social, which was followed by a Hallowe'en dance in October, and a St. Patrick's dance March 18. Both our boys and girls excelled in athletics this year as they always had before. Many of our students did valuable and worthwhile club- work, too. Early in the year we began to plan for graduation. After a good deal of discussion among students, Prin- cipal, Superintendent, and School Committee, we were given permission to institute a type of graduation new to Norwell High School. Instead of the usual essays at graduation, there will be an outside speaker, allowing us to put all our time and energy into our last project, a presentation of the play, Little Women, taken directly from the immortal story by Louisa May Alcott. Our usual class night exercises will take place in the morn- ing, followed by a class outing. Now the full realization of what lies ahead comes upon us, and we stand ready to face it.

WHY I PREFER TO LIVE IN THE COUNTRY As I begin to write this I realize that from the beginning some one will disagree with what I say, and that the city enthusiasts especially, will be among those in opposition, but never- theless I will attempt to present my views on the subject and make clear my opinion. The country to me is a most pic- turesque and impressive place in which to live. As we watch season roll into season, we find excellent op portunities for the study of nature, and yet at the same time we may be doing something for enjoyment. lt is a painter's paradise and the think- er's inspirer. And there are several benefits de- rived from country life. It affords a great opportunity for better health. Exercise in the fresh, invigorating air tends to build one up. And yet this exercise is accomplished not through the feeling of necessity to the counts of 1-2-3-4, but through movements gained by enjoyable sports, such as skating, skiing, hiking, bicycling, swimming, etc., most of which can be done in one's own back yard and which do not require parks or play- grounds as in the city. In the country schools there is a marked appearance of the develop- ment of school spirit. Due to the number of pupils, most every one be- comes friendly and this feeling brings about cooperation in school activit- ies. Also, in small classes the pupils have an opportunity to study the teacher, as well as the teachers the pupils, and they thus gain a better idea and understanding of each other. Then, the community life of today has all the advantages of city life. Stores, which offer delivery service, are in the towns, nearly every one has a car for transportation, and trains which connect with the leading cities are only a few miles away. All the modern conveniences are to be had in the homeg electricity, water, heating systems, etc., thus making the country homes as up to date and as practicable as a city home. Some people always wonder what there can be for excitement in the country, but if they would only live there a year I am sure that they would soon find the answer. There is always some sort of entertainment available. Dances, clubs of various sorts, fairs, and theatres, either in the town or neighboring towns, are examples of some social enjoyments. And so, considering everything, I say, For what more could one ask? Would not any one who had the fitting spirit find life in the country enjoy- able ? ALCESTER WEARE, '38 COMPROMISES IN THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTIONAL OF 1787 The Constitution of the United States is the oldest frame for a gov- ernment in use today. Others keep changing, and even civil wars are frequent. Take, for instance, the trouble in France at the present time. The President is struggling to set up a new cabinet from the one fallen. Who knows when the Spanish Civil War will end? And in Mexico and other southern countries the head of the government is changed every few months because of uprisings against the party in power. All this upheaval seems strange to us because it is unheard of in this country. Why? It must be the strong framework on which our gov- ernmental system rests. But this framework was not merely thrown to- gether without thought. The best minds in the country, striving for a common purpose, worked day in and day out for months to achieve this result. In 1785 a group of commissioners from Maryland and Virginia met with Washington at Mount Vernon to dis- cuss boundary lines and trade rela- tions. As these questions were of interest to other states, also, another convention Cwhich proved unsuccess- Page melee The Shipbuilder , fulj, was held a year later at Annap- olis. There plans were made for a meeting of all states to be held at Philadelphia in the near future. This convention proved to be the one at which our present constitution was drawn up. It met at Independence Hall on the second Monday in May, 1787. Al- though seventv-three delegates had been appointed, only fifty-five came. All states but Rhode Island, which was opposed to this plan, were repre- sented. The delegates came in slow- ly, and it was nearly the end of the month before business could be start- ed. This group of men represented the very ablest political judgment in the country. Never before or since have so many famous men appeared together. It is no wonder that they produced a masterpiece. Represent- ing the propertied classes, they were a conservative group, practical rather than theoretical. Washington was unanimously chos- en president of the convention. Mad- ison, Hamilton, Franklin, and he proved to be the leaders. As soon as the convention was un- der way, Edmund Randolph intro- duced a resolution to set aside the Articles of Confederation and to adopt a new constitution. This was approved. Now came the great task. At times these men differed violent- ly on details, but they worked har- moniously for the most part so that they might achieve their purpose. The Constitution consists of a ser- ies of compromises. Most of them were not fundamental changes - only slight differences in details of organization. Parts of the Articles of Confederation were revised, and even some parts were used as they stood. Under the Articles of Confedera- tion all states had had the same rights. The larger states objected strenuously, believing that they should have more power. This was finally settled by what is called The Great Compromise of the Conven- tion. All states were to have two senators elected by the state legisla- tures to serve for a term of six years. The House of Representatives was to have representatives elected direct- ly by the people every other year, in proportion to the population of each state. This brought another problem. The South wanted their slaves to be counted as part of the population. The North disagreed strongly. Yet taxes were apportioned according to population and the slaves paid none, so the South would be actually pay- ing for its extra power. Finally they compromised by counting each slave as two-thirds. This satisfied both parties. Another compromise was made concerning trade. Many wanted to give Congress the power to regulate trade, but the Southerners were op- posed, fearing that their slaves and export trade would be interfered with. After much discussion the question was settled by permitting Congress to control trade, but pro- hibiting export taxes, and interfer- ence with the slave trade before 1808. Then, of course, there was a dis- cussion concerning form of the gov- ermnent. Many favored a strong central government, others wanted a strong democracy. Among many plans submitted to the commi'ttee, was that of Pelatiah Webster, in which was embodied tfor the most partJ the Hrst draft of the Constitu- tion. Changes were made, but this was the plan which came nearest the finished Constitution. We are also indebted to Baron lilontesquieu, French political philos- opher, for his clear guidance and help in constructing the excellent system of checks and balances between the departments of the federal system. This Constitution of ours which has protected the rights of the people has guided us well through wars, de- pressions, and other emergencies, and bids fair to guide us through as many more.

The Shipbuilder page mmeen QUALITIES I ADMIRE IN OTHER PEOPLE Sitting still, calm unperturbed by all incidents, is an admirable quality. I enjoy the person who, when moth- er is out, performs all the duties of the perfect hostess with ease and pre- cision, even though Great-aunt Clara, who is practically stone deaf and must tell one of her latest doctor's bill, drops in for just a minute and spends the afternoon with you. Es- pecially do I admire the person, under the same circumstances, who, still restrains herself from throwing things though she is already fifteen minutes late for a skating date with just the cutest boy, and Aunt Clara is only half through her lengthy discussion. Then, too, perhaps one has learned this art from watching mother entertain guests when one absolutely knows the roast is burning. Also, if one can sit still in boring classes while Professor Oglesby, ogles at pretty girls, wheezes, talks through his nose, and generally acts in a dis- gusting manner, one is a marvel. To me, the best and safest outlet during this time, seems to be drawing, espec- ially on blotters. But if this is im- possible, 'talking to your neighbor, particularly if you can utter that an- noying class-time giggle at odd intervals, is a good substitute. Doing proper things at proper times is an art not even geniuses often acquire. For instance, if you had Algebra first period, and Physics the second, Wouldn't you occasionally get mixed- up? That is do the right homework in the wrong period. Another impor- tant thing is, at a banquet, to be able to pick up, from an array of all shapes and sizes, the correct piece of silver without slyly watching your neighbor who is also watching you therefore bringing things to a stand- still. More important still is staying awake during, clapping and laugh- ing pleasantly at, stale jokes and speeches. More of those little-things-that one-must-not-do are C13 stuttering when other people stutter-this is cruel, and 123 walking with feet ex- tremely in-toed or out-toed-a habit impossible to correct. The greatest achievement of all is making people do what you say, and not what you do. It is so em- barrassing, when a little child who idolizes you is scolded for some fault of yours which she has aped. But retribution comes, when some ab- normal the'd have to belperson, takes your advice. Self importance is so comforting in spite of non-fitting hats, etc. JEAN MacLEAN, '38 ENCORE Standing on the bridge of a coast- wise freighter on a cold February night, blinded by mist and drenched by wind-whipped rain and sleet, a man has plenty of time to think. So on the lurching bridge of the An- drea, plowing the water off Sandy Hook as she stood in for New York, the bear-like form of Captain James R. Holbrook paced back and forth. His steel-blue eyes, narrowed to pierce the night, glistened from a round face that reflected old copper in the wan greasy light from the binnacle, when he stopped to peer at the compass. Two bells struck in the first watch. Ever since his last leave in New York, he had reserved the sourest place in his heart for Owen Roberts. Tonight he was ruminating again this tender subject. Roberts, captain of the Faulkner, a grain carrier out of New York, had been introduced by two friends of Holbrook's, one evening at a board- ing house. A poker game which had run its normal course far into the night, had come to a violent ending when Holbrook, nearly cleaned out, discovered an extra card in Roberts' hand. The friends would long remem- ber their difficulty in keeping the two apart. But his hate for Roberts had yet more fertile soil, in which it promptly sprouted like a weed. On a December night, such as this with its mist and driving seas, Hol- brook had glimpsed the lights of a ship off the port bow, in these same waters. Although his engine was reversed, and the helm thrown hard aport, a collision could not be averted. After the impact, he had radioed the other ship for her name and plans for page fourteen - The Shipbuilder - taking on her crew as it was evident that she was sinking. When he learned that she was the Faulkner, commanded by Captain Owen Roberts that was a bit too much. Why, the dirty - - , growled Holbrook, as though a fifth ace were not enough, that - - has to go out of his way to get hit, just to land me in trouble. Well, he picked the wrong man, and if it's trouble he wants, he'll have it, and I'll see that he learns to stand clear of James Rhiner Holbrook! Turning to the engine room telegraph, he yanked it to full speed astern, and instructed 'sparks' to wireless, Holbrook can play your game, too. Hope you like it. Having pulled his crumpled bow out from the gaping side of the Faulk- ner, he resumed his course for New York, leaving her to sink with all hands. This association of ideas gave rise to considerable discomfort on the part of Holbrook, who fell into a mood of profane mutterings. His rising tem- per was thus speaking for itself when the first officer suddenly pointed out what appeared to be a reef, dead ahead. The skipper made out a black mass, laced with breaking crests, which grew frighteningly with the passing of every second. We'll hit I With this he rang the telegraph to full speed astern, bellowing, Hard a-port! Mr. Barnes, have the water- tight doors dogged down. lt seemed as though Fate impelled the Andrea's plunging bow irrestis- tibly toward her doom. Poor Hol- brook, your ragged patience is so tried! Then, with a crash followed by a direful grating, the Andrea lurch- ed to port, and lost her headway. After ordering the pumps started, our man of the hour was approached by the carpenter, who announced that the lower part of the collision bulk- head was carried away and that No. 1 hold was rapidly filling. At this, Holbrook ordered all steam On No. 2 and No. Z3 holds. He knew it was hopeless to keep down the water in the forward compartment, but soon he learned more. After twenty min- utes of miserable suspense, word came from the engine room, We've every pump going, but the water 1S rising here, sir! Holbrook answered, Keep them going, and half ahead with your en- gine. He then turned to the helms- man and shouted, Starboard your helm, there I After hitting, the ship had backed off and now was starting around the obstacle. Although the captain had sent an S. O. S., he believ- ed that he might get her into shoal water before she sank. As he was thus plotting his course for the beach the telegraph rang for his attention. Bending over the voice tube, he heard the anxious words of the enginee. The pumps are slowing, sirg engine taking too much steam! And the water has come up eight inches in the last three minutes. Very well! Fire up the other boilers and make it quick! Like a wounded snake, the long minutes of anxiety dragged on, while the crippled Andrea held on for the shore. Chewing a rain-soaked sandwich, Holbrook gazed at her bow as it pitched drunkenly in the wild sea. Again the telegraph pleaded for counsel. After boilers lit, sir but the water is coming up to the grat- ings. Belay the engine, but hold the steam on the pumps as long as you can. At midnight the forward holds were nearly half full. Briny steam from the wetting fires had driven the black gang out of the boiler room, and the pumps were barely moving. At 1 a. in. the forecastle deck was awash, and the ship was now settling rapidly. Two boats were lowered and the crew was sliding down the falls to its last chance for safety and the beach. But Neptune had his own ideas, and the sea reached up great waves that caught each boat, spilling its crew among the raging crests, there to drown them in the wild abandon of the elements. On the bridge, now lashed by spind- rift and the tips of combers that curl- ed over the well deck, Captain Hol- brook retained his stand, urging the engine room force to keep the pumps going until some near by vessel might A The Shipbuilder page fifteen arrive. But no lights appeared in the murky welter. Even now it was too late, the Andrea's bow buried itself in the seas as though every plunge were to be her last. Holbrook rang the telegraph and spoke urgently in the tube, She's going. All you men on the bridge. A mountainous wave rolled over the harassed vessel's foredeck. She had a gallant effort, but the surging weight bore her bow down. As the engineer's force gained the bridge, it seized upon the chance to take the remaining boats with no leave from the captain. Although they knew that they would be capsized, any ef- fort at self-preservation was a relief. They were hardly over the side when the old freighter pitched deeply and then with a roar of pent-up steam and heavy machinery breaking loose and sliding forward, she dove to the bottom in a great swirl that rivaled the waves in their might. As the sun cast its morning glow over the sky, and chased away the last of the breaking clouds, a few gulls wheeled about. Then they de- scended and stood on the weed-grown hulk of the Faulkner, as she rolled heavily in the dying swells. From va- rious openings under the surface, bubbles of gas from fermented grain rose and broke in the falling wind. CHRISTIAN FENGER, '38 THE FORTUNES OF WAR It was the zero hour! December 2, 1917, somewhere in France. A young American Captain glanced at his watch as he looked down at a line of men about to do or die, all strong hard men who had been through this tense moment before, except for a young private standing beside him. He puffed nevously at his cigarette. He cast pleading glanc- es at his captain and stuttered, I'1n afraid I can't go through with it sir. The captain replied Buck up youngster, the first time is always the hardest. It was too late to say more. The whistle sounded up and down the long line of men and 150 American dough boys went over the top, amid the stuttering of machine guns and the wail of high explosive shells. The captain gave the young pri- vate one glance, reached out and grabbed his hand, pulling him up and over the top. They ran on for about one hundred yards when there came the scream of a big shell. The cap- tain immediately dove for the near- est shell hole as the big shell burst with a shower of hot metal and flame. The concussion was terrific. After the captain had come to his wits, he found himself still clasping the hand of the frightened youngster. Without turning his head he said, Well son, that was a close one. But there was no answer from the young- ster. The captain slowly turned his head, and what he saw made him recoil with horror. He was merely holding the hand and fore arm of what had once been some mother's loving son. The fortunes of war! May they never strike again. Betty Mesheau, Class 10 MOUNTAINS Some like to eat, drink wine, or play, Or read and dream the time away, But give to me the mountains vast, With fleecy clouds a'drifting past, Their rocky crags, gold in the sun, This is the place where I must come. To hike along the mountain's base, To drink where crystal streams do race, And marvel at the lacy spray, Sparkling with gems in the sun's bright ray. Then up along the balsamed track, Plodding higher, higher, no turning back, For the challenge of nature is in my veins, And its the spirit that grasps the reins. So I'll climb higher and reach the top, But never till then can I stop, For the lust of the climb is in my feet, And the air of the mountains is pure and sweet. So then to reach the top, what a thrill! That even the pain of the trail can't kill. To stand at the top and trace the trail, page Sixteen The Shipbuilder That one has followed over ridge, through vale, This victory over one of nature's things, Is the accomplishment that the climb- ing brings. To sit at the top and eat lunch, too, While reveling in the mighty view. And then the descent through the darkening air, Back to the camp that you know is there. And when you reach the end of the trail, Look back at the peak and you cannot fail To gaze in wonder at what God has wrought, Which you have conqueredg which you have fought, And as you stand there you'll think to yourself, The things of man's making are of- ten clever, But they can't, like the mountains, last forever. STANLEY HENDERSON, '38 Waiting For A N. H. S. Girl in Winter Under the large old elm tree, The little old Model A stands. The driver, a patient boy is he With chapped and frozen hands. And the muscles of his frozen arms Are like frozen rubber bands. His face is stiff and blue and longg His nose is like a rose. His brow is set with holiest fret As Jack Frost nips his toes. Yet he looks the whole world in the face As he waits for school to close. Week in, week out, from morn till night You can hear his horn as it blowsg You can hear the little old Model A As with measured beat it goes. A gal coming out from school Looks in at the open door. She loves to see the flaming face And hear her boy l'riend's roar. And catch the red hot words that fly Like sparks from a furnace door. Sitting, waiting, freezing, On through life he goes. Each morning sees his wait begun Each night his wait doth close. Ah! At last! She comes Dolled up in to-the-minute clothes. Thanks, thanks for being patient dear, For the waiting you have done Mrs. L. C. T. kept us terribly late Gee, I had to run. So whispering sweet nothings she calms him down, And life resumes its run. Priscilla Merritt, Class 12 CAR DRIVERS Be careful, my lady, never drive fast There's always time enough to last. Don't gaze around and say, Oh look! For you may land up in a brook. Don't hog the road for fellow mem- bers May come along and scratch your fenders. If you toot your horn when waiting in line You should have to pay a fine. Don't turn your head to talk with your friend Because you might come to a very sad end. Keep on the right hand side of the road When driving with a heavy load. Don't drive too fast, Take corners slow It's best to be safe Than have trouble you know. Barbara Weare, Class 11 The family cat, so proud was he, Went for a walk and spotted a bee The cat looked 'round and began to frown. The bee flew up and then came down, The cat assumed a peculiar pose, The bee flew up and out of sight, The cat just felt as any cat might. Jeannette L. Porter, Class 11 The Shipbuilder page Seventeen ...CLUBS... DRAMATIC CLUB U The Dramatic Club was organized in September, with the following of- ficers: President, Priscilla Merritt: Vice president, Sylvia Dyer, Secre- tary, Betty Bond. As projects, the club discussed motion pictures, acted out stories, practiced telling jokes, made a miniature stage, discused ele- mentary rules for stage behaviour, and discussed famous actors and ac- tresses. The club as a whole was most interesting and successful, and Xlowes all this to the officers and Mr. en. FIRST AID The First Aid Club was organized for the purpose of training the pupils in making bandages, and treating wounds. It was under the supervis- ion of Mr. Sipple, a very capable teacher. LE CERCLE FRANCAIS The first part of this year a French club, directed by Miss Hurley, was organized. At the first meeting, Sep- tember 24, 1937, the following offic- ers were elected: President, Alces- ter Weareg Secretary, Marion Os- borne. At the meetings during the year, we discussed French customs, schools, and industries, and played word games in French, for the purpose of enlarging our vocabularies. We also learned songs in French. Several times the members, ac- companied by Miss Hurley, attended French movies. AVIATION CLUB The Aviation Club was fairly suc- cessful this year. It consisted of boys from the 7th to 12th grades. Instruction was given by the older boys on building models, reading weather maps, how airplanes are built and flown, and what progress has been made in the world of aviation. A bulletin board, consisting of air- plane photographs and news, pictures of models and various instructive ar- ticles on different phases of aviation, was kept for the entire school year, being changed every other week. The sponsor of the club was Mrs. Turner who held several flying contests, and awarded several prizes to the win- ners. Stanley Henderson, as captain of the Club deserves great praise for his work and enthusiasm. 4-H FOODS CLUB The Norwell Junior High School 4-H Foods Club adopted the supper program, keeping the following re- quirements in mind: 1. Study plan- ning of balanced meals. 2. Work toward the 4-H health goal. 3. Pre- pare soup, salads, main dishes, and desserts at least three times. 4. Home service: sweep ten times, care for food ten times, and do dishes ten times. 6. Exhibit. 7. Record of achievement made. At the comple- tion of the program, a 4-H pin was awarded. VOCATIONAL CLUB The Vocational Club this year was under the guidance of Mr. Farr. Its purpose was to guide members in their choice or training for the job they will some day assume. 63592 He Gave Up A young man from Norwell a-wooing went, To find a sweetheart he spent every cent. He traveled for miles without any luck With no other companion but a little white duck. Through Hanover, Scituate and Rock- land too, He searched in vain for a lover true. But alack and alas he finally gave up And came back to Norwell in his little putt-putt. Spokeshake Virginia Hall, Class 11 page eighteen The Shipbuilder -- --S . . . GRAMMAR SCHOOL . . . VENICE In the evening the city is lighted with hundreds of tiny lights. From every gondola you hear the beautiful tenor voice of a gondolier blended with the deep bass of another. Each little boat has a lantern and by its flickering glow you may see the spangled dress of an Italian signora sipping coffee with her signor. The oar, plied by the gondolier, splashes softly as the boat rocks gently to and fro. Such is Venice at her best. In the daytime it isn't so charming. One couldn't believe that the lovely lady in homespun really could have worn the bespangled dress last night. Of course, this dress was a relic of a bygone age, maybe it was Hfty years old. The days in Venice pass quickly and again you see Venice, glorious and romantic, as it was many evenings ago in the past. Harriet Lincoln, Grade 6 'The moon is playing hide and seek, But if you'll' only watch, You will see that clouds will run away And out the moon will peep, And the little star that's playing too, Will quickly cry I spy! And run away and hide allday Behind the deep blue sky. Christine Mayhew, Grade VII CHINESE ART The Chinese people are well known for their art. They started their works ages ago. They use five colors principally, including red, blue, yellow, black and white. Many strange creatures are seen in Chinese paintings. Among them are dragons, unicorns, and tortoises. Almost all people in this part of the Orient have much artistic talent. Even today when so many Chinese people are poor, they make gay kites and em- broidered robes. These beautiful objects are shown usually on festi- val days. Margaret Roman, Grade VII -FAIR DAUGHTERS OF NATURE Down in the marsh by the mill, Yellow Cowslips drink their fill. And on the rippling waters of lake and streamg Float the Water-Lilies In immortal dream. Sweet Anemone with dainty white cap, Smiles at the trees above her. And the delicate Violet, so fragrant, Nods in the cooling breeze. The Pussy-Willow dons her gray hood As we pass through peaceful wood. In Fields of Golden-rod Queen Anne hangs her lace. The Blue-Grass lifts her head to the Sun In the sky above, While the Wild-Rose clings to the stone wall Watched by the Mourning Dove. And under the wall gay Columbines, grow In the midst of the Buttercups' glow. The brook in the glen laughs to himself, as he passes by Wild Iris. And gracefully swaying Iris, looks at her- self in the brook. Clustered under the trees grows Indian Pipe, Side by side with the Lady-Slippers, lis- tening to Jack-in-the-Pulpit. Oh! fair daughters of Nature in pasture, forest and glen, You have what Venus cannot buy: a gentle heart and a peaceful look. Elizabeth Jean Ross, Grade V Mamma's Baby soft as silk. Mamma's Baby white as milk. Mamma's Baby God's own will. Mamma's Baby sweet and still. Mamma's Baby light as day. Mamma's Baby sweet as hay. Mamma's Baby fresh as air. Mamma's Baby not much hair. Miriam D. Osborne, Grade V Little babbling brook, Flowing on your way. Over mossy rocks Thru the woods so gay. Never stopping as you twine, Thru bowers e'er so sweet Singing, merrily songs so fine, As the sea you meet. Jane Bates, Grade 8 The Shipbuilder C s-l3f'f1i'iTe?2 STUDE T COUNCIL Mr. Daggett, W. Osberg, S. Luce, S. Henderson, T. Tolman, E. Wadsworth V. Hall, J. Gleason, L. Newcomb, M. Burnside, J. Thompson, D. Currie, J. Liddell, V. Gaudette. The Student Council was re-intro- duced into the Norwell High school this year. Its purpose is to care for student problems exclusively, to ed- ucate student opinion, and to encour- age the welfare of the school through the mutual co-operation of teachers and pupils. It consists of the following mem- bers: Four Seniors, one of whom shall be president, three Juniors, one of whom shall be vice-presidentg two Sophomores, one Freshman, and one representative from each room in the Junior High. All officers must have good quali- fications and satisfactory grades. In May, new members and officers ,are elected and serve for the remain- der of the school year until May of the following year. This year the Student Council has proved its worth to the school by buying a radio for the school hall, supplying both boys' and girls' bas- ketball teams with new suits, and drawing up a students' activity tick- et which proved a great saving to the pupils. The Student Council also sponsor- ed two dances, a Donkey basketball game, managed the Inter-class and Tri-Town Plays, and arranged for many interesting assemblies. The spirit established between the pupils and the Student Council this year has been excellent, and we sin- cerely hope lhat it will be carried throughout the future. page twenty The Shipbuilder ...ALUMNI Eplfdl... Blest be the tie that binds! Such a tie seems to have been holding the graduates of Norwell High School since the first class graduated in 1891. At intervals very successful reunions have been held. In the fall of 1937 some members of the alumni again felt a strong yearning to meet and while renewing old acquaintances to visit the new High School building of which We are so proud. The tie that binds us to Norwell High School is indeed strong and two hundred of its loyal sons and daugh- ters met in the High School Auditor- ium to pledge anew their allegiance to their Alma Mater. It was voted to form an Alumni Association which would be perman- ent. The following officers were elected: President Herbert T. Hatch Vice-President Edith Turner Young Rec. Sec. Eleanor Wadsworth Cor. Sec. Theresa Phipps Treasurer Alice Blossom Brown Auditor Kenneth A. Torrey Advisory Committee Josephine Curtis Kimball, Grace Farrar Cole, William tl. Vinal We found that among our gradu- ates, teachers, and superintendents, past and present, it was an easy mat- ter to find able speakers, or entertain- ers. The afternoon and evening pass- ed very quickly, the time being divid- ed equally with business, supper, and speeches. It seems to be the desire of the association to benefit in some way the institution which has meant so much in our lives. With this in mind a scholarship committee was appointed which is to consist oi' Grace Howard Howland and the advisory committee. This committee has started to lay plans for future maturing. With the present enthusiasm it seems pos- sible that the Alumni may aid in making the Norwell High School ever a stronger power in the field of' edu- cation. A committee on ily-laws was ap- pointed by the President. This com- mittee consists of' Ilerbert Lincoln, Louise Whiting, and Wilder Gaudette. With their help and a goal toward which to work we shall strive to keep alive the spirit of allegiance in the minds of the Norwell High School Alumni. The next meeting will be held on the afternoon and evening of Oct. 23, 1938. Several classes had 10070 attendance last year and We hope there will be more this year. The thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts and it is certainly good to meet again those who worked beside you during those happy years in Nor- well High School. Wiki!

Paradis BOYS' ATHLETICS The boys' basketball team for this year was not very successful in win- ning many basketball games. But it was not considered a bad season. Many of the scores were very close, for the boys were always fighting and hustling. The main reason for the loss of games was due to sickness and injuries. The first team this year was made up of the following players: Thomas forward,J John Gauley, CSenior, right Tolman CSenior, Captain, played right and left forward,J Fred Rosebach, CSenior, left forward,J Lawrence Mott tSenior, right guard and cen- ter,J Melvin Burnside fSenior, cen- ter,J James Thompson fSenior, for- ward and center,J Leo Paradis fSen- ior, guard,J and Loring Wadsworth, tSophomore, forward.J Lawrence Newcomb was the manager. The boys' baseball club is shaping up Well. Barring sickness and injur- ies they will go places this year.

However the science discussed here will come under the caption, Natural Science, which has four great divis- ions, Biology, the science of living or- ganisms, Chemistry, the science con- cerning the composition of all mater- ialsg Physics, the science concerning the laws governing the phenomena associated with matter, and Astron- omy, the study of the Universe. The first three sciences, and General Science, which is a summarization of all four - are offered in nearly all the courses given in Norwell High School. The Natural Sciences are taught by Mr. Sipple who holds forth in the laboratory, which is an exceptionally ine one for a high school of this size. The laboratory has recently been equipped for the complete study of high school Physics and Chemistry. The laboratory has also become somewhat of a museum and while it is impossible to keep such specimens as, turtles, bats, bees, snakes, frogs, etc., for any length of time, three or four of these interesting biological victims can generally be found in the lab, either in full possession of their natural power or in formaldehyde. At noon time the lab is often the scene of some experiment or the preparation of one. As Mr. Sipple tinkers with an electric motor, a steam engine, or a preserved frog, gradually a crowd of pupils begins to gather. Finally when the bystand- ers become about three deep, Mr. Sip- ple will look up from his work HJ, notice them, and shoo them out of the room. This I think proves that the Natural Sciences are the most in- teresting subjects taught in the high school. Stanley Henderson, '38 This has been a grand year in our new building! Alcester Weare placed among those eligible for scholarships at Tufts Col- lege. The student Council has proved a very worth while organization. THE ROMANCE OF FARMING This, the most thrilling of profes- sions, was my pleasure this summer. You may not believe that there is an art to this idol of man's dreams, but I can assure you that it takes great skill and concentration to learn. A person must first pay hundreds of dollars going to Amherts Aggy, then he must work for years on an experi- mental farm just to get the experi- ence. He must understand that this is with no wages until he has learned all there is to learn about thorough- bred cattle. Then comes the first real paying job. All he has to do is break his back from sunrise to sundown and at the end of the week collect his enor- mous pay of eight dollars. He has the wonderful opportunity of work- ing in the hay field with the blistering hot sun and hay seeds making his work enjoyable. Every morning and night he can practice his house work in the scuttles behind the cows. Yes, as a whole my summer was one big flop. Cin more ways than onel. D. Currie, '38 The booklet form of diploma has been approved by the student body. The Art Department has certainly produced some excellent posters. The Norwell lunch room can't be beat in quality and price. Mr. Allen, Correct this sentence. 'Girls is naturally better looking than boys'. M. Dowd: Girls is artificially bet- er looking than boys.
