We all regretfully approach the day when we will have to leave Norwell High School. The fond friendships and good times which we have had are all to be a thing of the past.. But as we have been very well prepared for our future years by the faculty of the school, we know we will make a success one way or another. New friends and pleasures may rival the old, but the old will never be forgotten. Whether we go to college or take a position in an office, our earlier days in high school will always be remembered. We will recollect how be- grudgingly our homework was done and how we anticipated this end of our four high school years. Now, that the time has come, we accept it with misgivings. On the other hand, we now find ourselves on our own. What we do at this point determines much of our future. We who leave Norwell High School wish to thank the teachers for what they have given us in preparation for the greater challenge ahead.

During those years the high school was stimulated by having in its midst a very brilliant and important class. We entered our Freshman year in dear old Norwell High, 27 in number. We were: Russell Anderson, Gordon Appleford, Roger Apts, Jayne Bent, Ralph Burns, John Campbell, Agnes Cummings, Walter Dunbar, Ellsworth Farrar, Christian Fenger, June Glea- son, Virginia Hall, Gertrude Hender- son, Betty Howes, Alyce Joseph, Jayne Litchfield, Jean MacLean, Wil- liam Mesheau, Lawrence Newcomb, Edith Pike, Jeanette Porter, Jean Sharpe, Marie Somerville, George Strachan, Ruth Torrey, Barbara Weare, and Edson White. At our first class meeting we el- ected the following officers: Presi- dent, Alyce Joseph, vice-president, Gordon Appleford, secretary, Richard Cummings, treasurer, Roger Apts. We all were very happy when we left for our Christmas vacation, Fri- day, December 20. Little did we know that we were leaving that dear old edifice to the realm of legend and tradition. That evening the news was spread around that the building we left in such good condition, was no more. Fire so completely destroyed it that it was beyond repair. We all were notified during our vacation that we were to attend Han- over High school from 2:30 to 5:30. We began our Sophomore year at Hanover High under conditions simil- ar to the previous year. When we were settled, we founfl that we had lost one member of our class, Agnes Cummings, who left school to go to work. Our loss was offset by new members, Dorothy Slade from Hanson, and llowarfl Shearer from Braintree. The officers we elected at our first class meeting were: President, Jean MacLean, vice-president, June Glea- son, secretary, Lawrence Newcomb, treasurer, Christian Fenger. In November, with the aid of Miss Hurley, we planned to give our first. social, in the Community llousc at Church Hill. We readily agreed it was the best social of the year. In the spring of this year the inter- class plays were held. Our class en- tered a comedy, Sauce for the Gos- lings, directed by Miss Hurley. In May we left Hanover High to return to Norwell and to open our present school. Our first day in our new school found a new member add- ed to our class, Edna Johnson, from North Quincy. This year was brought to a close by a very enjoyable trip to Province- town. A few members of other classes of the school enjoyed the trip with us. Mr. Farr, and Mrs. Turner accompanied us. We entered our Junior year with the addition of Marie Sandberg from Weymouth and the loss of Russell Anderson, John Campbell, Walter Dunbar and Ellsworth Farrar. All of these boys left to go to work, and Jean MacLean left our class to join the Senior class. The officers elected at our first class meeting were: President, Law- rence Newcomb, vice-president, Rog- er Apts, secretary, June Gleason, treasurer, Christian Fenger. Our class supplied some of the tal- ent for the Tri-Town plays this year. We also presented The White Phan- tom as our contribution to the Inter- class plays. It was a hair-raising mystery, sparkling with comedy re- lief. In May we gave our first dance, the Junior Prom. It was a great success and the highlight of a truly memor- able evening. Which of us could readily forget that last picnic at Nantasket Beach? Echoes still come back! In September we came back seeking more knowledge and feeling very im- portant-we were truly seniors. We looked around and found two mem- bers of our class were missing, Jayne Bent, who moved to Hanover and Marie Somerville, who moved to Dor- chester. ln place of the two mem- bers we lost we gained Doris Page, from Dorchester and Dorothy Gor- don, from Thayer Academy. At this Continued on Next Page I Page ten THE Continued From Previous Page time we had a new principal, Mr. Thayer. The first thing on our programme was to elect ofncers for our last year. President, Lawrence Newcomb: vice- president, June Gleason: secretary, Edna Johnson: treasurer, Barbara Weare. This year our class contributed a few valuable players in our school sports. Girls' Basket Ball: Betty Howes, Jeanette Porter, Virginia Hall and June Gleason. Boys' Basket Ball: Rogers Apts, Gordon Appleford, Wil- liam Mesheau, and Howard Shearer. Baseball: Roger Apts, William Mes- heau, Howard Shearer, Gordon Ap- pleford, Ralph Burns, and Edson White. Some members of our class took the leading parts in the Tri-Town plays this year. The play was Jon, the first time we had attempted a trag- edy. Under the careful direction of Mr. Allen, we came home with a great victory and the cup. After the plays were finished, Saturday night, the casts of the other two plays join- ed us at our high school with a ban- quet and dance. Our class had the dis- tinction of being the first class to win the cup for Norwell. At a class meeting in January we discussed graduation. Mrs. Turner and Mr. Thayer suggested that we give a pageant for graduation. The class liked this idea very much and plans were immediately started for our pageant which is in seven scenes, as follows: 1. Cornet Stetson Home. 2. A Shipbuilder's Son. Il. Tea with Madam Cushing 4. A Civil War Youth D. Willard Robinson 5. Mock Town Meeting . North River Boat Club . 19223-Building Over Old Building 19254-Burning of Old Building 19219-New Building-Graduation 1939. In April before our vacation we changed our class adviser, from Mrs. Turner who has been ill, to Miss Hur- ley. We did not mind the change of advisers, but the change from the large bookkeeping to very small desks 6 7 was quite a blow. Lawrence New- comb had to put quite an addition on his desk. We didn't want to ampu- tate his legs. Now that we are about to graduate we all are ready and eager for what is before us. JEANETTE PORTER +++ PAGEANT Spirit of Norwell The graduating class of 1939 has a novel idea for a graduation exer- cise. Instead of the usual type of graduation, we the Seniors, decided to prepare a pageant, The Spirit of Norwell. The pageant was divided into seven scenes, these were based on true facts obtained from reliable sources. A committee of two was assigned to each scene, this committee getting information that best introduced the scene in its true reproduction. The committee provided the scenery, spec- ial costumes, and musical effects, which served as a background. The seven scenes of the pageant were: First scene: Cornet Stetson's home on the North River. Second scene: Shipbuilding on North River at Wanton Yard. Third scene: Chief Justice Cush- ing's palatial home in early Norwell. Fourth scene: Civil War setting, dealing with one of its heroes, D. Wil- lard Robinson. Fifth scene: Mock Town Meeting telling of the changing of the name of South Scituate to Norwell. Sixth scene: We discover the ver- anda of the North River Boat Club and the social life of the Gay Nine- ties. Seventh scene: This scene was giv- en in three parts. The first was the scene of the old Norwell High School building when the first addition was added to it. The second part showed the burn- ing of that building. And last, the graduation of the class of 1939. The reference books used for it were: Old Scituate, published by the Daughters of the American Rev- Continued on Page Fourteen THE DER Page el even I.

THE MOST INTERESTING CHARACTER I HAVE EVER KNOWN He was a big man, tall, heavily built, and suprisingly agile for his sixty odd years. To look at his big, brawny, powerful hands, was to know that he was some kind of a crafts- man-indeed he was a man of every craft. The broken doll carriage of a child, the faulty vacuum cleaner of a neighboring housewifeg or a leaky water pipe all came under the mirac- ulous hands of this grand old man and were made usable again. But it is the personality of the man that I wish to dwell upon. What depth of character he had! What a wise and understanding old man he was! As he repaired your lawn mow- er with his hands, so he also mend- ed your troubles with his practical philosophy, and brushed your cares away with his dry humor. He was not a saint, this man, and to tell stories of his friends, made colorful by the interweaving of fic- tion, was one of his favorite pastimes. After repeating one of these oft-told anecdotes, he would throw back his shiny bald head and laugh a deep, vi- brant laugh. Such a laugh as to pro- voke you to mirth also. To see his clear, sparkling, brown eyes, as he told his story and laughed, was to say to oneself, What a full, rich life this man must live! I, as a young boy, sat with him many times in his reenforced chair and listened to his entertaining tales. l can no longer listen to those tales. I can no longer hear his laughter or see his smiling eyes. But I will al- ways have the memory of my grand- father, the broadest-minded, wisest, most lovable old man I ever knew. Lawrence E.

Hoping to shake off the ominously, depressing gloom which seemed to weigh upon the manor- they purposely busied themselves with the household duties. Don't you think that this house gives you a queer feeling, as if there was some secret connected with it? asked Ruth of the other three girls. Well, said Mae, if there is, we'll certainly find out because we're here for two weeks. By the way, Mary, how's supper coming along? We're all starved after cleaning this house. I'm calling it quits, anyway, it looks respectable enough for tonight. When supper was ready the girls made one dash for the kitchen, after washing their hands, sat down and greedily, but still appreciatively took part of the meal: each one compli- menting Mary on a different part of the meal. After finishing, they sat about the table lazily, when suddenly there came a knock on the front door. Each one looked at the other, none want- ing to answer the door, as the knock came once againg only this time doubly loud. Mary being the oldest got up, quiv- ering and shaking: approached the door as the knock came once again twice as loud. As the door opened a crack, she saw a tall, young. red- haired boy of about twenty standing squarely in the door. The boy, al- though he wasn't good looking, had the appearance of a scholarly, friend- ly fellow. He, Donnie Whithouse, and the four girls became acquainted, and sat down to talk. Girls, have you heard the story connected with this house ? The boy became the target of eight wondering eyes. Five years ago, he began, a wo- man named Ann Capeway, died in this house in the bedroom on the east Cmitinucd on Next Page - -- THE Page thirteen Continued From Previous Page side. Long before she died, she had received a great amount of money through investments and inheritanc- es. Her husband, who had died two years before, had left her some money. On her death bed, she re- quested that Mr. Long, a lawyer, come to her bedside. She told him that a great amount of money was hidden in the house, but when Mr. Long asked her where it was hidden, she had passed away into eternal silence with the secret still hers. The girls eagerly chorused many questions. Donnie replied: Girls, if I had known this would have been the out- come I don't think I would have told it. No one has found the money, no one has any idea where it is in the room, and no one knows how much money was hidden. Hcre's your chance to make a fortune and I'll help you. Let's start now. The five young people went direct- ly to the bedroom on the east side, looked in every nook and corner, but finding nothing, they discontinued their search. As Donnie was leaving, he said: Don't be discouraged, I'll have some of my friends come over with me to- morrow and we'll make a thorough search of that room, at ten. The girls sat up until the fire in the fireplace burned low and the room was enwrapped in semi-darkness. They slept on in their chairs and as the darkness soon gave way to light, and finally when the whole world was wrapped in the bright rays of the sun, the girls woke up, immediately rising in preparation of the adven- ture of the day. After the boys had arrived, the groups started searching for the box in different sections of the room. Two hours passed, when Ethel and Bob yelled: Look, we have found a little box in an opening in the wall. The boys and girls flocked around the box, each one full of curiosity as to what it contained. The box isn't very large, but what is this peculiar scrawling on the out- side ? After a careful exmination, Donnie replied: I believe that is Chinese writing. I remember now, that Mr. Long said the fortune was in a Chinese box. As Ethel opened the queer box, the girls and boys stood with opened mouths, and their eyes wide-eyed with amazement. Ethel gave a yell of delight. Look girls, thousands of dollars. We can divide it between us. What are you going to do with your share, Mae ? After the girls had called Mr. Long, the lawyer, who said they were entit- led to the money, 95500.00 was given to the eight young people. Each per- son took his share and happily went downstairs into the living room to decide what he would do with his newly found fortune. EDNA JOHNSON, '39, + + + ROOFS Have you ever seen a roof? Its shingles new and bright, Reflecting even under mists, Yellow-gold sunlight? And that same roof in later years Turned a silver gray, Blending softly with the sky At the twilight of the day? And then that roof, its service past, Stripped to the frame, Its shingles, cracked and edged with moss, Gathered for the flame? The roof you knew has lived its round, It's had its youth, its prime,- And once again there comes a new To take its march on time. MARY E.

Page fourteen CAN CIVILIZATION DESTROY WAR? As long as people continue to think that the grass is greener in some- body else's land, there will always be wars and petty quarrels. The more civilized a nation becomes, the more it feels the urge for new lands and more power. Today the world is supposed to be civilized, and yet with bombs, submarines, airplanes and oth- er war instruments designed to wipe out cities and towns without the slightest effort, we kill and plunder our neighbors. In the days of Julius Caesar, when the only fighting implements were slings, bows, arrows, and fists, the people who were hurt or killed were the men on the battle fields. Now if a country is at war, the people in the cities, hundreds of miles from the fields of conflict, live in dread of an air raid. Children are taught to wear gas masks and to use first aid kits. Sci- entists who could be of real value to the world are put to work experi- menting on new ways of killing peo- ple. These great minds should be turned towards improving the coun- try, not to developing its war instru- ments. In previous years we have celebrat- ed the Armistice with parades, ora- tions and dedications. This year as we march. speak, and dedicate our gifts to those who have not died in vain, let us think of the cost of war -of the millions of young men who died for something that did not exist, -of their mothers who bravely gave their sons to their country,-of the millions of people who were left home- less and destitute. They were all civilized. They all lived in clean homes, used telephones, radios, elec- tric lights and other things that are supposed to make a person civilized, yet they were drawn into war. There is only one way that civil- ization can destroy war, and that is by educating the people against it. So far this has been of little value. We may speak of the horrors and use- lessness of war, but being patriotic, we cannot desert our country when it has been drawn into a conflict by seemingly educated and civilized men, who would probably stay at home if there was a war. There is no doubt in my mind that being civilized can help us to over- come war, IF we use our knowledge in the right Way. But, at present I think that civilization is a hindrance rather than an aid to this cause. We do not have to be great states- men or politicians to help our coun- try stay out of war. If we live peace- fully with our neighbors we may feel that we are helping in a small way to destroy something that may in the end destroy us.

Elizabeth Jean Ross, Grade VI g THE Page fifteen FRENCH DEPARTMENT Many think that the study of French has little or no practical val- ue. With the following I hope to show otherwise. They are letters written by young people in France to members of our foreign languages class. They serve to illustrate one tangible advantage in taking French in high school. Pupils obtain their correspondents through a bureau in Boston which se- cures and distributes the names of French boys and girls who desire to correspond. These letters are copied exactly as they were written. Any errors in grammar are not mistakes on my part, but mistakes that a person might naturally make when writing in a language not native to him. This first letter is from a French boy who has had the advantage of a great amount of travel. He seems to have come from a family of some means, for as well as being well edu- cated in school he has broadened him- self by touring over most of Europe. At the time he writes this letter he is in London attending the Corona- tion of King George VI. Today we have the coronation of King George the sixth, which was very emotioning. The King and the Queen were crowned in the St. Paul's by the Archbishop of Canterbury, and they were taken in their carriage to Buckingham Palace. London was not more to be recog- nized, everywhere garlands and flags. The whole city was in joy, at each window the Union-Jack. Everybody walks, the head lifted up, the eyes looking at heaven. Each place cov- ered with crowds. But this is nothing compared to Oxford Street. Sunday evening this large street was all covered with crowds, running, and fexcuse the ex- pressionj were flowing like the waves and streamings of a great river. You can hardly understand what the coronation is for an Englishman. Now every, I myself, am shouting: Long life to the King. The church, I want to say, the Westminster Ab- bey, is surrounded by black crowds, awaiting the sovereigns. In the roy- al carriage are the sovereigns, the royal princes, Girard Lashel, and CExcuse me for having forgotten herb the heiress of the throne Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth. Now the sovereigns are already in the Buckingham Palace, surrounded by thousands and thousands of crowds. The whole British army, filed before the royal balcony and then presents the weapons, the cortege of Queen Mary follows, and the Scottish regi- ments play upon their bag pipes. The soverigns are hailed, but the princess Margaret and Elizabeth are hailed longly too. Do you come to Paris for the Exi- bition? I hope so. You will welcome to my family and I shall show to you the whole city. Now I hope to see you soon in Par- is, for if you come, you will be receiv- ed like a home. This next piece is a short excerpt from another letter written by the same boy. Except my studies, I sometimes go to the movies or we have a party. Always the same old dances: Lam- beth Walk, Big Apple, The Flat Foot Flotty and so on. Sometimes we lis- ton to Bing Crosby, or by radio, to good ol' Duke Ellington. The concluding letter is from a girl who has not studied English as long as the boy who wrote the previous letters and thus is not able to express herself quite so well. Her letter is rather interesting, however. I have been seeing in a French newspaper, that a terrible hurricane has ravaged the New United States but I am happy that the Massachu- setts have not suffered very much, because I am afraid for you and your family. In your last letter, you asked me to tell you what I think of the affair, German-Czech. France and England are very, very strong, and the United States are for us. We have been afraid because, the war was near, but M. Daladier, Chamberlain and Roosevelt have made very much good work. I hope that we will have no fear of war any more, but if the war does Continued on Next Page Page sixteen THE SHIPBUILDER Continued From Previous Page come, we will be heart and soul with Czechoslovakia. These letters were all in English, but just as often the correspondent writes his or her letter in French. In return we write our letters in Eng- lish. In this manner valuable prac- tice in reading a foreign language is received at both ends. Such corres- pondence not only affords the student an enjoyable pastime, but also broad- ens his knowledge of how the rest of the world lives. LAWRENCE NEWCOMB, Jr. +++ SOCIAL STUDIES Social studies include United States and modern history, economics, and Problems of Democracy for the up- per classes. In grades seven through nine there is a course of combined civics, geography and history. The classes are taught, not by the tradi- tional single text book style, but by the use of a variety of pamphlets, bulletins, papers, books and maga- zines. The social studies collection is filed by unit subjects in a large clos- et titted for the purpose. In studying a unit, each pupil re- ceives work sheets of activity and problems, vocabularies, outlines, and reference lists. These are used as guides to enable each pupil to work independently, at his own rate. Each student gets credit for his own inter- est, initiative and ideas. No two pa- pers are done alike. The teacher acts as a guide in explaining prob- lems, and suggesting ideas at a con- ference between pupils and teacher. He also helps to find and plan the use of materials. All work, in its first form, is checked for possible ini- provement before being iinally made into booklets. In the course of a year each pupil writes eight to twelve units - ill- ustrated with graphs, charts, clip- pings and other material that makes the booklet interesting. This method of teaching has ap- pealed to everyone, and is very inter- esting. VIRCINIA HALL, '39 REPORT OF UARSENE LUPIN By Maurice le Blanc, famous writer of crime stories This tale is composed of six minor stories, all individual, yet all in chron- ological order and recounting the adventures of a certain part of the life of Arsene Lupin, gentleman burg- lar. The first story, L'Arrestation d' Arsene Lupin, tells how, journey- ing on an ocean liner, this man was arrested for the theft of jewels and money. The story, written in the first person, is a surprise as the sup- posedly innocent guest telling it turns out to be the guilty one. The second story, Arsene Lupin en Prison, deals with his attempts at escape, and his final success by which he was released by the court as being the wrong prisoner, and had really disguised himself, is told in L'Evasion d' Arsene Lupin. The fourth story, La Perle Noir, is, I think, the most exciting. The Countess of Andillot was relieved of a precious black pearl and assassin- ated early one night. Arsene, ignor- ant of this, and having the same idea, crept in and discovered her. Sus- pecting a certain man of having done this, he posed as a detective, forcing him to give up the pearl. Le Mysterieux Voyageur was the account of Arsene's train ride from Paris while sought for escaping, his li ing hed up by a bandit whom a lady passenger supposed to be the hunted Lupin himself, and how, by the help of the police, he recovered his stolen papers, which in the hands of the police, would have sent him back to prison. Le Sept de Coeur contained an interesting episode in which Arsene played the good samaritan against a couple of blackmailers. I very much enjoyed reading this book, for the following reasons: C15 The stories were interesting, humor- ous, mysterious, with plenty of ac- tion, chills, etcg C21 The French was extremely easy to read- that is, by the help oi' footnotes and analyses of syntax. I didn't have many new words to look up, and also most of Continued on Page Twenty-eight Page seventeen THE LEONARD ALLEN FUND In memory of LEONARD JAMES ALLEN 1907 - 1939 In the Fall of 1933 Leonard James Allen came to Norwell as teacher of English in the Junior and Senior High School. He died in Norwell on March 17, 1939. In those five and one half years Mr. Allen gained the respect and affection of all who knew him. His death was a loss to the community he had grown to love and to look upon as his home. By personal association, by direc- tion of school dramatics, and by his work in the class-room, Mr. Allen de- voted himself to imparting to the boys and girls of Norwell that respect for the written and spoken word and that appreciation of good literature that was so deep and sincere a part of his own nature. The establish- ment of a school library by means of which all the children in the school might have access to good books was his great ambition. As a memorial to Mr. Allen and to perpetuate the work in which he was so deeply interested the Leonard Al- len Fund for the purchase of books for the school library is to be estab- lished. The nucleus of the Fund will be created by voluntary donations from all who knew Mr. Allen and from any others who might be interested and wish to participate in such an under- taking for the benefit of the com- munity. The increase of the Fund and the memory of Mr. Allen's name will be carried forward through the years by the school children themselves. Mr. Allen's birthday, February 28th, or some other designated date of each year will be Leonard Allen day. On that day all school children who wish to participate will bring to the school their pennies to swell the Leonard Allen Fund for their library. The Fund, itself, will be adminis- tered by a selected group of trustees who will supervise its investment and spend a specified portion of its in- come for the annual purchase of books. By this procedure the Fund, itself, will continue to grow and hence the money available for the purchase of books will increase with each new year. Everyone is welcome to participate in this memorial to Mr. Allen. All who wish to be Charter Members by subscribing to the nucleus of the Leonard Allen Fund may give their contributions to the temporary re- ceiver, Mrs. C. Campbell Baird, Main Street, Norwell, Mass. + + + CLASS ROOM CONDUCT As I have become a graduate of Norwell High School, I take the above title in mind. I often wondered if my class room conduct was the best that I could offer. Of course, I can't say that I didn't try my best. There are many phases of class room conduct, a few of which I am going to explain or describe. First, there is the person who comes in banging the doors and making all the possible noise he can, while morning exercises are being conducted. Na- turally, he did not chance to look through the little 8 x6 window pane in the door, to see if the exercises were being carried on. Second, comes the person who just loves to open his desk cover, yank out his books, drop them on his desk, and then sit down with a big grin on his face, while the teacher looks angrily at him. The next phase that comes to my mind is the person who speaks to his classmate while the teacher is read- ing the notices to her class room. This is a hindrance, because with the un- dertone only few in the class room will be able to hear all the notices, thus probably not hearing the impor- tant ones. It is also hard for the teacher due to the fact that she has to speak louder. As conduct does mean a lot in the carrying on of the school, pupils should try to cooperate in classes and the study hall. Classes cannot be carried on as well and the pupils can- not do their studying thoroughly if we do not have this cooperation. BARBARA WEARE Page eighteen PARENTS AND TEACHERS ASSOCIATION The P. T. A. meetings for the year of 1939 started Monday, January 9, at the Norwell High School auditor- ium. Mr. Marion Roberts, the director of Physical Education of Brockton was the speaker. His success as director of physical education has shown in the many state champion football teams he has turned out. On February 13, 1939 the boys be- longing to the art classes, under Mr. Booth's direction, presented a play on the Life of Abraham Lincoln. A moving picture, The New Fron- tier, completed the program. The P. T. A. program for March 23, 1939 was put on by the pupils of classes seven through twelve. Each department, made up of the students from these grades, namely the com- mercial department, music depart- ment, English department, French department and the home economics departmentg presented some form of their proceedings in their everyday classes, to the audience. At Norwell High school, April 10, 1939, the Brockton Federal Band, a unit of the Federal Music Project of Massachusetts, under the direction of Arthur S. Kendrew, presented a mu- sical program for the parents and teachers of Norwell. + + + TRI-TOWN PLAYS The Tri-Town Play Contest was held November 3, 4, 5 of the year '38. Scituate, Marshfield, and Norwell were the contestants. On No- xember 3 the three plays were pre- sented at Norwell, November 4 at Scituate, and November 5 at Marsh- field. Judges were chosen by the three schools to decide upon the best play. The honors and cup went to Norwell for the production of Jon. Scituatc's play. The Finger of God and Marshfield's No 'Count Boy, were both well done. Jon directed by Mr. Allen had the following as cast: Lawrence New- comb as a fisherman, Alyce Joseph as his wife, Harold Young as their little boy, Constance Joseph as the grand- mother, Robert Newcomb as the dead Jon, Marie Sandberg as Jon's lover, and James MacDonald as a friend of Jon's. Mary Skelding, Virginia Gaudette, Charlotte Dunbar, Eliza- beth Hall, Roger Apts, Donald Burn- side, Howard Shearer and Ralph Burns were the supporting cast. Norwell is very proud of winning this cup and hopes that she might be fortunate enough to win it for two more successive years thus enabling her to keep it permanently. + + + INTER-CLASS PLAYS Every year for the past three years the four upper classes of Norwell High school have each presented a short one-act play. A first and sec- ond prize has been awarded to the two best plays which were chosen by popular vote. This year the plays were presented on Thursday, March 30. The freshmen began the pro- gram with Mistletoe And Moon- light. The sophomores followed with Buddy Answers an Ad. The juniors came next with, The Re- venge of Shari-Hot-Su, and the clos- ing play was presented by the sen- iors, The Lord's Prayer. All four plays went off well and the audience found it difficult to choose the best production. The priz- es however were won by the Junior and Senior classes. The Junior play, which was a Japanese comedy, won the first prize of 358 and the Seniors, serious play, The Lord's Prayer, won the second prize of S-1. The evening was a huge success and we hope that this contest will be carried on through the future years. + + + St'HO0I. AFFAIRS During the week of September 16, 1938, the Student Council and Mr. Thayer, our principal. planned for a get together social. This was Continued on Next Page THE SHIPBUILDER Page nineteen Continued From Previous Page to bring the students and teachers to a more informal gathering, and to get reacquainted after the summer vacation. On September 16, Friday the social was held, and it was enjoy- ed by all. Many class socials, those put on by each class from the Freshman to the Seniors were held during the year. On Friday October 7, 1938, the first of these socials was sponsored by the Freshmen. It was highly. succiess- ful. October 27, 1938, the Sophomore Hallowe'en Social, the first of the dec- orative affairs, was held. The hall appropriate for the occasion. On November 18, 1938, the Seniors sponsored a Thanksgiving dance. The hall was decorated in autumn colors, with crepe paper hanging from the lights. The music was supplied by Bunny Grant and his Orchestra. The Junior Box Social was held February 3, 1939. The Student Council gave a dance March 10, 1939, with Bunny Grant and his orchestra, supplying the mu- sic. This Was Well attended and all had fun in spite of the bitter cold and stormy weather. On March 17, 1939 the National Honor Society sponsored a Motion Picture for all who wished to attend. School affairs of the year ended with the First Annual Field day, May 25, 1939. +++ SONGS AND COMMENTS 1. An Old Curiosity Shop Mr. Sipple's room. 2. For the First Time An AH in American History. 3.

We hope that next year it is even more popular and continues to be successful. BETHANY GLEASON, '40 + + + CAMERA CLUB The camera club under the direc- tion of Mr. Sipple has its meetings after school. The officers of the club are as follows: Donald Burnside, president: Christian Fenger, vice pre- sidentg James MacDonald, secretaryg and Lawrence Newcomb, treasurer. For a future plan the club has in mind the making of a booklet of can- did camera shots which it will sell. The booklet will consist of camera shots taken anywhere in the school or having something to do with the school. The money from these book- lets will be used for additional equip- ment or other necessities for the club. The club seems to be making pro- gress and still has a number of mem- bers. We wish it the best of luck and hope that it continues to be worthwhile and interesting. +++ Miss llurley: Really, Kenyon, your handwriting is terrible. You must learn to write better.

We wonder what there is in the future for them. Each must decide for himself. Much depends upon the individual and his attitude toward the world about him. He must be able and ready to attack any problem that might come his way. He must be able to form judgments and make de- cisions, to see the good and need in others and adapt his activities to a changing world. Life is not easy, these changing times and the youth of today must be well intergrated to meet the de- mands of this societv into which he must enter, possibly for the first time, alone. One cannot look for, or expect, ease. No one owes him a living. He must seize it himself from the world at large. Trust not the glow of radio prom- ises. No one can give you ease with- out effort on your part. You must give for others and expect little in re- turn but when you do receive, appre- ciate and enlarge these returns. Have confidence in yourself and others will believe in you and trust in you. You get what you are will- ing to give. One gets out of society what one is willing to put into it. Try any task that comes along, put forward your best effort and do your task well, always looking ahead to improve the thing you are to do, and learn from it. As you deal with others so they will deal with you. No task is too small to do well. Don't forget to pray and ask for strength. Honor your flag and display it whenever you can. Be true to your native land. Stand firm and declare with pride: l am an American.

The girls wish to extend their thanks to their coach Miss Martha Harris and their manager Miss Alyce Joseph. The girls also have field hockey. They were presented with 24 hockey sticks by the American Field Associ- ation. Practice was begun this spring so they will be ready for the games which begin in the fall.

It is comprised of twelve members of which four are seniors, three jun- iors, two sophomores, one freshman, and a representative from each of the junior high classes. The students selected to serve on this council must have leadership, ability, and be in the upper third of their class in scholarship rating. This year the council sponsored the athletic program which consisted of basketball, baseball, badminton, and field hockey. We also held a dance, sponsored the tri-town and inter-class plays, established the mer- it system and introduced a chapter of the National Honor Society to the school. The council and other mem- bers of the student body helped to make up a handbook of the rules and regulations of the school. The council sponsored the first an- nual fiield day for boys and girls on May 26th. Although in existence but two years, the Student Council has suc- cessfully reflected the student point of view in school functions and has introduced many new activities that have benefited Norwell High. Page twenty-four fi THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY This year the National Honor So- ciety was introduced to Norwell High School by Mr. Thayer. Each member of this society must have an 85 per cent average in all his subjects for six months before he is admitted. New members are admit- ted in lfebruary and June. Meetings are held on the tirst Mon- day ot' each month in Room 3, with Miss Hurley as the adviser. A membership card is given to each pupil to keep, but in case his marks should lower for the next several terms, the membership is forfeited. The society consists of eleven mem- bers.

PINSON RETIRES The teachers and pupils of Norwell High School regret to learn of Mrs. Pinson's retirement which will take effect in June, 1939. Mrs. Pinson has taught in this school system for twenty years and during that time she has gained the everlasting respect of her many pu- pils. We sincerely hope that she will enjoy good health and happiness for many years to come. + + + PUT YOUR HEART TO IT Clara lived in a big city. Her fa- ther and mother were very poor and could scarcely afford good food for Clara. She was weak and pale, and needed country air to grow strong. They had heard of a camp in the White Mountains that they liked very much, but they could not afford to buy it. One day when Clara's father brought a newspaper home, she read about a drawing contest. The first prize was a four week vacation at Camp Lucy, a camp in the White Mountains. She made up her mind to try for it because drawing was one of her talents. While her father and mother were at work the next day, she started to paint her picture. Her father had bought her a small piece of canvas and some paints knowing her love for art. She decided to paint her idea of the camp. She put her heart to it. The nert week it was done, and it was sent in. In a few days she received a letter saying she had won first prize. She was ever so happy. Soon her father and mother were waving good-bye to her from the rail- road platform. One can do almost anything if he puts his heart and soul in it. Connie Hailey, tlrade Y Page twenty-eight REPORT OF UARSENE LUPIN Continued from Page Sixteen the idioms are self-explanatory. The informal style, short, direct sentenc- es, made the thought easy to follow. CU I have, I hope, become more fam- iliar with French, and have been ex- posed to 1939 Parisian colloquialisms. I think these are as important as anything else for the development of one's ability to speak French, to meet, and to talk intelligently with a modern Parisian. Books like Mon Oncle Flo, and Les Miserables are indispensable for the teaching of French customs, and style in French literature, but Arsene Lupin is, in its own right, indispensable, in its ac- quaintance of the student to the French man in the street. I also enjoyed comparing the passages in French with the same in English. For effectiveness, English has noth- ing on French and I often thought English quite inferior. CHRISTIAN FENGER + + + JOKES Mr. Johnston was trying to give his pupils an illustration of the meaning of the word perseverance What is it ? he asked, that car- ries a man along rough or smooth roads, up hills and down, through jungles, swamps, and raging tor- rents ? There was a silence, and R. New- comb, who thought he knew a great deal about automobiles, spoke up: Please, Mr. Johnston, he said, there isn't no such car. Mr. Thayer: Evelyn Anderson. construct a sentence using the word 'archaic,. Evelyn Anderson: We can't have archaic and eat it too. Will Mesheau applied for a job as a grocery clerk. As the employer wanted a serious-minded young man, he put Will to a test. Well, Mesheau, what would you do with a million dollars ? he asked. Oh. gee, I don't know-I wasn't expecting so much at the start. Mr. Thayer: Is it true Miss Osborne, that when the clock strikes half-past two, you put down your pen and leave the office, even if you are in the middle of a word? Miss Osborne: Certainly not Mr. Thayer, when it gets near half-past two, I never begin the word. ...AUTOGRAPHSM Uzftvilbilbilbilli 1 i lil i CD41 ini aiu i ini 1 3 in in 3 ii xi 11112112111 1 b10I010C0.Ui P1014bj011rI1vi011b1011rZ4bL4bIbi1bi4bi4rj4bi411bi1ri0i0I1ri4rj4 SARGENT'S OF ASSINIPPI Open Until One A.
