Presitlent: Bethany Gleason. X'ice-President: Betty Bond, Secretary: and Betty lyfesheau. lreasttrer. ln May of the next year we entered Norwell High School, the first class to haye started in as lfreshmen and finished the four years in the new building. Page Nine That year proved a successful one for our class. VVe carried off top honors in the performance of Elmer in the Inter- Class plays, putting the upper classes in the background and showing our fellow classes that the Freshmen could be lead- ers as well as followers. For our class trip that year we went to Fieldston which proved to be a happy ending to our first year. When we entered school in the fall as Sophomores, we found we had lost seven of our class members. Fred Fair and Fran- cis Paradis had left to go to work. Francis is now a valued employee of the Stilphen Motors in Dorchester. Francis Peckham had found employment in Fall River. Josephine Oteri moved back to Boston, Dorothy Ryan and Frances Tantillo found employment, and Eunice Paige moved to Hanover. Betty Bond moved to Washington, and she is graduating from the Washington, D. C. High School this June. This year found us excelling again in dramatics with the performance of The Pampered Darling which won second prize in the Inter-Class play contest. We left the ruling of the class that year in the hands of Robert Newcomb, President, Loring Viladsworth as Vice- President, Secretary Betty Bond until she moved to Mfashington, then Shirley Porter took up her duties as Secretary, and Treasurer Eugene Duncan. When june arrived we took a trip to Nantasket, accompanied by Mrs. Dag- gett. This proved a pleasant close to our second successful year. In the fall of l938 we began our junior year. In looking over our members we found that Loring Mladsworth had left us. Loring is assistant manager of a flour- ishing gasoline station in Braintree: How- ard Maybury moved to Pembroke. We added a valuable new member to our class, james MacDonald from Thayer Academy. The class officers for that year were Robert Newcomb as President, Virginia Caudette as Vice-President, Stanford Luce, Secretary, and Eugene Duncan, Treasurer. Again we demonstrated our outstand- ing dramatic ability by winning first prize with the fine performance of The Revenge of Shari-Hot Su. ln Mav we held our first real class dance, the .lunior Prom. Everyone ad- mitted that the spring decorations were most original and the most artistic ever arranged in the hall. Because of the date conflicting with other Proms of neigh- boring towns, its success was social rather than financial. This year two of our members were outstanding in athletics, Eugene Duncan was the star pitcher and Wlesley Osborne was the most outstanding catcher in the South Shore League. The -Iunior year closed with a picnic at College Pond. Our chaperone, Mrs. Turner, said she never had a class that gave better eats than we, at this event. September again brought us back to dear old Norwell High 25 in number, because of the fact we gained two new faces, Barbara Clark from Wlashington, D. C., and Faustina Longley from Ver- mont. Howard Maybury and Eunice Paige decided that there was no place like Norwell and so returned to our high school. l'Ve were all sorry to hear that Jimmie MacDonald was to leave and enter Noble 8: Greenough School. XVe settled down to business electing the class officers as follows: Stanford Luce as President, Mary Skelding, Vice-Presi- dent, Betty Mesheau, Secretary and XVes- ley Osborne, Treasurer. Wfe were told that we might give a dance this year and so in November we gave an Autumn Sports Dance which proved most original. A large majority of our class helped Norwell to win the cup against strong competition with the presentation of The Kick Off in the Tri-Town Plays. Among the participants from the Senior Class were Mary Skelding, Joseph Para- dis, Stanford Luce, Betty Gleason, Shirley Porter, Rose Feneck and Robert New- comb. XVe are very proud of the long list of members of the class who helped Nor- well to win some basketball games. in the boys' case especially for it had been two years since the Norwell boys had won a game. Howard Maybury held top honors for points scored and you should have seen Wles Osborne cover the floor, Robert Mott was the most outstanding guard in the South Shore League. Although the girls did not win the championship, they played some ver' good games. The team was composed mostly of Seniors. lt was not surprising that the Seniors took the cup from the other classes this year, with the presentation of Hung jury. Consider the outstanding dra- matic ability of our clessl Although the year is not completed. at the time ol' this magazine going to press, we feel sure that the commencement ex- ercises of the class ol' lil-I0 will be most outstanding. licfiy .lfexlrrflu 'Hi Page Ten -I-'IQ l iNl'llIl'll.'

That torch has been held high, so all may see it and be guided by it. The beams from this torch have been lighting the way for millions of men and women for over a century and a half. Many of them did not know such free- dom existed, until they came to our shores. VVhen I think of these millions of men and women, I often wonder if they are overwhelmed by the careless way we crit- icize the Presidents foreign policy or the so-called New Deal, the programs we lis- ten to on the radio,-the books we read and write-and the amount of news in our newspapersg for these people never dreamed that such rights or priv- ileges could be practiced on this earth. INC take these rights or privileges as a matter of course. It is not until we have actually been in a country where the great mass of people are ignorant of what is happening in the outside world and where a certain few rule the destiny of millions, that we know how fortunate we are. Americanism is like a shining light, an inspiring beacon worthy of the sacrifice offered by those liberty loving men who have been struggling so that this light will shine the brighter on the children of posterity. Our ancestors made that light brighter with the fuel of freedom. Freedom of thought which enables us to secure information from any source we please and from anyone we please and draw our own conclusions and opinions, with due respect for the rights of others. Freedom to worship our own God in what manner we choose compatible with the best interests of our brothers. Freedom to write our own observa- tions, conclusions, and criticisms so all may read them. The right to participate in the govern- ment and to support whom we think best qualified to lead us. Equal freedom before the law and trial by jury has become the heritage of every American. lt is our duty, as true Americans, to defend this sacred trust, in memory of the men who fought and died to secure it. for our own salvation and preservation. and for the happiness and security of our children. joseph Przradrs' '40, Spring Spring, Spring is very near, Our feathery friends will soon be here. In the Spring the flowers rise And open up their sleepy eyes. The little creatures come out to play XVhile the farmer works in the fields of hay. The little insects do their best Collecting food for the winter's rest. The animals come out from their sleep- ing place And feel the warm sun in their face. The butterflies Hy from Hower to flower, Doing their work every hour. And that is what the Spring is about, That makes everybody sing and shout. Artllur Torrey, Grade 8. Marquette and Ioliet Of all the great men we study about l think the French Missionaries were the greatest. One of these men was Father Marquette. This man preached to the Indians and the red men grew to love him. He settled down between Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. Father Mar- quette was not satisfied with this life of ease. He decided to explore a great river with a French fur trader, Louis Joliet. These men traveled over wild trails, rocky banks, and narrow streams. I ad- mire these men because, in spite of the difficulties they had, they never gave up. Marquette and Joliet had a great deal of courage. .Ioan Dickmun, Gr. 5. Sponges Sponges were first found by a Greek diver in the Mediterranean Sea. A sponge is the lowest form of animal made up of litany living cells. The kind of sponge we use is the skelton that holds the cells to- gether. Some sponges are as tall as a man! Sponges come in all sizes, shapes. and colors. On the coast of Florida. Greek divers are the chief sponge fishermen. They used to catch them by dragging hooks along the ocean bottom. Now they catch them with modern diving gear. The divers carry mesh bags to put the sponges in. XVhen the diver goes down the water is clear, therefore the only dan- ger is from sharks! From May to October, the United States government does not allow sponge fishing. No sponges can be taken unless they are more than live inches in diameter. The sponges are pre- pared and trimmed with sheep shears. The best sponges come from the Nfl'flllf'l'- ranean Sea where they have been ob- tained for centuries. lflmer liolzlnmn, fir. 5.

Much is gained in ihe disctts- sions. English is brought into use in unit work, which enables the pupil to under- stand the subject and to apply it. ln this type ol' work each pupil writes a sum- mary ol' the work covered about once eyerv month. ll he wishes he may inclttde pictures. stories, or any other material that is related to the current topic. The subjects vary according to the classes. The juniors and seniors put their ellorts into studying llnited States His- tory: the lreslmien absorb inlormation about the Crime and Government ol the . H, . United States: the Sth grade studies l he Social and Economic Conditions ol the United States. the Tth grade rellects the study ol The Economic Geography ol the United States. and last. bitt not least, the coimiiercial U-rou 1 ol' the two N I , upper classes takes up lroblems ol lo- day. which is .t study ol' modern prob- lems domestic, social. and economic. Many people believe that Social Stud- ies are dull, uninteresting subjects, but when they are taken up in this manner- when each pupil has the chance to work individually-they can be made alive and interesting. ylosepll Paradis '40, Gertrudc' Goldman 40. A Day With the Social Studies Teacher OI' What's the Use. Monday morning! The start ol' a new week! Mr. Graham glances at his sched- ule and a look of horror covers his face. XVith one quick movement he pushes himself into a corner, out ol' harnrs way. For, it is the 7th grade Rugg period and the Little Dears are so anxious to start studying the Economic Geography of United States, that they literally stam- pede into the classroom. Once settled. Mr. Graham discusses ways in which the geography ol' the United States is a help to industry and commerce. with lrcquent interruptions from the class. The next period bring in the 8th grade. and a new phase ol' Social Studies. This time Mr. Graham lectures on the Social and Economic History ol' the llnited States which starts a discussion ol' Amer- ica's march toward Democracy. A two minute breathing spell and then to the Freshmen and the highly special- ized field ol' crime and government. This leads to a debate as to the cause ol crime and a friendly chat concerning the lunctions ol' the government. Then in troops some ol' the problems ol today. wait a minute. l mean in comes the Problems ol Today class: to help Mr. Graham spend period four. They discuss housing and marriage problems. Alter E52 minutes ol' relaxation, Mr. Graham has to lace the expressions ol' the hluniors. lfor one long period he tries to make them understand the History ol the llnited States. Then, as il' sent lrom lieayen ti! to relieve his sullering. the bright and shin- ing Seniors take their places and quickly absorb any information he has to oller on United States History. Proudly 425 he listens to the l2th grade as they come lorth with their inter- esting comments. 2:35.

During all this time it has tried to build up a worth- while reputation and to convey the opin- ions and aspirations of the students to the proper faculty authority. So lar the Student Council has functioned quite heartily as an organization, giving and planning assemblies, dances, and some extra curricular activities such as field days. etc. During the end of last season. a South Shore League of Student Councils was started. including eight of the neighbor- ing towns. This league calls itself the South Shore cztiiitm-Crit-C Group, and its function is to closely interweave all schools in the vicinity. School problems are brought up at the meetings. The members give suggestions for solving these problems. Through this niediuin. school dances and large social events can be planned not to coincide with other events lroin another town. The Student Council has flourished through these. our lirst three years ol organization: it will carry on through luture years lor luture students ol Nor- well High School. Stun l.111r', Ir. '-ltl. P. T. A. Gifts The Parent Teacher Association was again most generous in donating a large sum of money to the school. This was used in purchasing basketball suits for both boys and girls. and other athletic equipment. There was also a definite sum given for hot lunches for deserving students in the schools. The school wishes to thank the mem- bers ol' the P.T..-X. and particularly Mrs. .Iohn Sparrel who worked so hard as chairman ol' the XVays and Means Com- mittee in earning this money. The Library Committee ol' the l'.T..-X. under the direction ol' Mrs. Paul Skel- ding presented over a hundred new books to the School Library. livery one ol' these books has been greatly in demand and still will be in years to come. The pupils certainly appreciate this line collection and our sincere thanks goes to Mrs. Skel- ding and the l'.T..X. flonnnittee. Mr. Sipplez XX'hat isa comet? ll. Clark: 'TX star with a tail.

He started early to write and had won a French Academy award for one of his poems when only seventeen. At twenty- two he was a recognized master of the lyric. XVhen he was thirty, he headed a lit- erary revolt from the classics, and found- ed the French Romantic school of writers. Most of his followers are forgotten, but Hugo had such original ideas, command of language. splendor of sentiment and sense of melody that he triumphed over his serious faults of hastiness and ex- travagance. Everybody of his time pre- dicted that he would burn himself out. but his literary output ranged over a period of fifty years. He wrote Les Miserables at the age of sixty, which is perhaps his most well known piece. No one can doubt that Hugo is a very ver- satile writer. Episode of Les Miserables The false burial of 'lean Valjean is perhaps the most tense scene in the entire book. .lean Valjean had escaped from the police by hiding in a convent. 'I'here. he found a friend who offered him a means of escape from the convent without de- tection. Following a death at the convent cante a burial. but Valieatrs friend arranged to substitute Valjean in the cofhn, and thereby retnove him front the convent. He bribed a grave-digger so that Yaljean would not actually be buried. 'lihen cattle the escape, and the friend learned to his horror that his ally, the grave digger, had died, and another al- lotted to bury the supposed corpse. He was tt-.tmit with worry. but saves Yaliean by an amusing and clever method. 'l'he grave digger could IIOI stav in the cemetery beyond a certain time of night without a ticket-so the friend hlched his ticket. 'l'he grave digger, not wishing to pay a fine. accepted the of- fered help of the friend and went home. Yaljean was rescued. Character Descriptions .lean Valjean: .-X man who has known too many hard- ships to be able to take advantage of the pleasttres of life withottt long contact with them. lle slowly becomes a gentle- man under the name of lfather Made- leine, but ylavert of the polite discovers his real name and tries to trac ls him down and place him back in jail from where he had escaped. The world played against him, yet this man died happily as his adopted daughter, Cosette. marries Marius. lavert: ylavert is pictured as a ruthless blood- hound type of man. He is the type of person who can not allow his duty to be altered by humanity and companionship. Bishop de Digne: A truly generous man. .X faithful ex- ponent of the Golden Rule. and one who can give only right for wrong. Cosette: The book does not touch much upon her character, but it does show she is really appreciative of the care that Yal- jean has shown her. lt is her gratefulness that makes Valjean die happily. Marius: Cosette's husband can be characterized by the same method as may be Cosette. He was a man who finally showed his gratitude to Valjean for all that Yaljean had done for him and for his Cosette. .Xt one time Marius despises Yaliean. not knowing that he saved his life. But later he learns about it, and permits Yaljean to die happily.

Millions of persons and even entire races, such as the Eskimo, never care for salt added to their food because it is suf- ficiently abundant throughout nature to satisfy the chemical needs of the body. An absolutely salt-free diet if one did exist, would prove fatal. 4. A new typewriter has been invented for those who wish to write letters to blind persons in Braille. The keyboard is standard, but the keys, instead of print- ing letters from a ribbon, emboss the paper in Braille characters. 5. The manufacture of explosives is so fraught with danger that the workmen are not even allowed to wear metal but- tons for fear of a chance of a spa-rk. 6. The longest and costliest errand on which a telegraph messenger was ever sent took place in l899 when a boy car- ried a Western Union telegram from Philadelphia to Pretoria. 7. For every dollar paid to beneficia- ries of life-insurance policies in the United States, two dollars are paid to living policyholders in dividends, ma- tured endowments, discontinued policy proceeds and annuity, and disability pay- ment. 8. There is no general law that pro- vides pensions for the widows of Presi- dents of the United States and only ten have received them through a special act of Congress: Mrs. Abraham Lincoln, Mrs. .lames Garheld, Mrs. blames Polk, Mrs. -lohn Tyler.

Home Economics Home Economics is a subject everv girl should know. Sooner or later, thev'll need it in life. Home Economics covers a wide field. Besides sewing and cooking, there is the field of health combined with real beauty. lt's very obvious why every girl should know how to cook. This knowledge is needed even in the highest society. lt's really a pleasure to cook. Each girl in the cooking class has a special duty to per- form. Every two weeks, her duties are changed. In this way, she has the oppor- tunity to learn all the parts of the suc- cessful art of cooking. Sewing is also as essential as cooking. The girls of the sewing class gave a style show March ll, for the P.T.A. Grades seven to twelve modeled dresses, slacks, skirts, and housecoats. Once a week, a period is used to dis- cuss the way a girl can be attractive, the kind of clothing she should wear, and about the activities of a healthy girl. It's quite complicated to decide what a girl should wear. Each girl is a different type and she should dress with a mind to that effect. I feel sure that the girls who have taken Home Economics realize the valu- able knowledge they have received. Every iota of learning received in this class will be used to best advantage and will be very helpful in later life. lllargaret Roman '-13. 4-H Club The 4-H Club was organired on Octo- ber 6. The following persons were elected as officers: President-Faustina Longley Vice-President-Evelyn Ryan Treasurer-Helen Frederickson There are nine members in the Club and the leader, Miss jenkins.

Camera Club lVell under way, the Camera Club is planning a big program to be carried through before the end of the year. In March there was an assembly where an exhibition of pictures was shown. 'l'he group expects to take pictures of the dil- ferent clubs to show them while actually working in their various fields. A Photo- graphic Contest is to be held and all the members hope this will be a big success. ln collaboration with the Economics De- partment, the Science Department is making plans to have an experiment in soilless planting.

P6 iw W I -I-hi? page Seventeen Science Department The Science Department this year is exceedingly fortunate. The school has been able to purchase a new microscope and a micro-projector. This new equip- ment was made by the Spenser Lens Com- pany, and the lenses are said to be par- ticularly fine. The microscope has the powers to magnify IOO times andh44tl times. lt takes a great deal of time for a whole class to observe the actions taking place under a microscope. This new micro-projector, which projects these happenings upon a screen, enables the whole class to see what is taking place. Microscopic functions are often not re- peated so in order to clearly see the entire function, this new apparatus is most important. A projection lamp is also included with the new equipment. which facilitates observations whenever a strong beam of light is necessary. Dr. Tenney Davis, one of Norwell's most prominent citizens, has given many books and magazines to help increase the Scientific Section of our School Library. Dr. Davis has also generously given an excellent collection of rocks and crystals for the school museum, which is rapidly increasing. Dr. Davis also has many chemicals which he has offered to turn over to the school in order to increase the equipment to be used in Chemistry ex- periments. Dr. Davis gave a most interesting as- sembly in january connected with Chem- istry. His choice of subject dealt mostly with explosives. The School lyluseum, to which Dr. Davis has so generously contributed. needs the help of everyone. If you have something to add, the Science Depart- ment will appreciate your contribution toward expanding its collection. Barlanru Clark '-10.

Bang! Another, the last, one of the huge stones that blocked the door- way of the ancient Egyptian sarcophagus had fallen away. The sweating Egyptian slaves gasped as they sent startled gazes down the steps that led where? I grabbed my fiashlight and started running down the stone steps. XVait, wait, Master, my guide shouted as he came running up. Then I remembered his telling me that when a tomb had been shut up a long time poisonous gases often filled it. So, regretfully I walked back up the stone steps to wait until the tomb could air itself out. About five minutes later I started again, slowly this time and with a torch. My guide and I went down hundreds of steps and walked through endless halls until at last we came to a huge stone floor in the center of the tomb. XfVhen I opened it I stopped short. I couldn't take another step. The walls of this room, instead of being made of old gray tumbling stones as the others had been. were of solid gold. The floor was terraced upwards to a platform in the middle. The outer ter- race was of bronze. The next of beauti- ful gold. The next was silver, which was very precious to the ancient Egyptians. The platform itself was of amber studded with mounted rubies and emeralds. The companies that had sponsored the exca- vating would not be disappointed as I had feared at first, they would be pleased. very pleased. I had opened a new treasure house for the world. Conslrnzcz' Buffy, fir. 6. A Walk One day when I went walking in the woods, I saw a rabbit. The rabbit stood so still in the bushes that I didn't see him at first. Then I saw the white on his tail. Then I knew it was a rabbit. XVhen I went away I looked back and just saw the rabbit go into his hole. Farther down the path along the bank of the river I saw a beaver. The beaver was making a house. I went up closer to him. The beaver saw me and went into his hole. I went farther down the river and saw more beavers' homes. I had a good time. Lila Mullins, fir. 4. Going Fishing One day my brother was going fishing. I wanted to go because I had never been fishing. He said I would fall in or get my fish hook caught in something. He finally let me go. I'Vhen we got there he was the one that got his line taught. He fell in, not I. firmer Sargent. Cr. 4. The Fairy by the Brook Betty and Bob jumped out of bed on the first day of May. They quickly got their clothes and ran down to breakfast. At the breakfast table mother said, Children, will you go out into the field after breakfast, and get me some fiowers? Oh, yes, both Betty and Bob cried. After breakfast Betty and Bob went to the field with their baskets. XVhen they were in the field they heard some soft pretty music by the brook. Betty decided to see what it was, but Bob didn't think it was very much. XVhile Bob was waiting for Betty to come back, Betty had seen something in the brook. She looked more carefully and found two little shoes. Then she saw it was a little fairy. My name is Bluebellf' said the fairy, and I live in this brook. Then she disappeared. Betty went back to Bob and told him what she saw. Every day after that Betty and Bob went to visit Bluebell. Barbara Blake, Gr. 4. A Summer Hike The first day of suiiuner was a warm day. The sun was shining brightly and the sky was blue with white clouds. I decided to go on a hike. After I had gone about one mile. I came to a pretty little brook. Beside the brook were some lovely green trees. I sat there and ate my lunch. Then I went home. I enjoyed my hike. ilfildred 0sbm'ru', Gr. 4. A Winter Day All through the night snow was fall- ing fast. ln' the morning everything sparkled like silver. The outdoor world was covered with snow. The trees hung low with snow on the branches. .-XII through the day everyone was happy. lolm Marsll, Gr. 4. A Beautiful Memory I will never forget one eieuing last winter about twilight. I was returning from Northfield, Massachusetts. The Sel- ting sun cast pretty colors on the icicles. XVhen we got to Barre. it was dark enough to see the full moon as it rose from behind the hill. It was such a pretty scene one would think it was a picture. john Osborn. fir. i. Rubber Down in the warm countries there are rubber trees. The men go Olll and t'lll a hole in the trees. Then they put a bucket under the holes. The milky rubber runs into the bucket. To keep the rubber they put a shovel in the bucket and then put the shovel over the fire. The sap hardens on the shovel and this keeps it. Robert II'c.i.sman. fir. 4. the Page Twenty-five CLASS 7 First Rout: l. to R-Loring, Cummings, Osborne. Higgins, Henderson. I-2.tstn1an. Ryan.

Mother nature. the best dress designer of the wide world, designs them. The maples are dressed in their finest gold. The oaks make the fire bend its head in shame because it can't match their flaming red. The chestnuts in their browns show their evening colors. The ladies enyy them. But not for long do these trees stay cheerful. They stand there still and bare a few weeks later. The eyergreens make fttn of them. They do not feel low. lolfn ,-lllwrl, fir. lv.
