l MRS. ELLA F. OSBOBN We sincerely dedicate our Shipbuilder of the class of 1948 to Mrs. Ella F. Osborn who wisely guided most of us in our more tender years. Through the years she has been a loyal supporter of our class in all its activities and there has seldom been an athletic event at which Mrs. Osborn and Perry have not been present. f THE SHIPBUILDER SI-IIPBUILDER STAFF Seated, left to right: D.

Uhr Shiphuilher Our sails have been spread for four years while we have charted the unknown nooks and corners of the sea of education. Our log reports few storms and hurricanes. Sunshine and fair weather have generally prevailed. As this first lap of our voyage ends, we close our log with these words, which each member of the crew of the class of 1948 may well Wish to carry With him on future sailings: KNOWLEDGE COMES BUT WISDOM LINGERS3' We present the Shipbuilder and wish to thank the officers and crew for their help in sailing the good ship of the class of 1948.

Page Six THE SHIPBUILDER LITERARY HERMAN, THE DIAMOND This is the story of Herman, a large and glittering diamond. Herman was born in a small mine in South Africa and his dis- covery created quite a bit of excitement, for he was one of the largest diamonds ever found. Finally he was put in a box with sev- eral other smaller diamonds, but of course Herman wouldn't think of associating with them 'for he thought so highly of himself that it would hurt his pride to speak to anyone as low as they. At last he arrived in America. In a short time he 'was rushed to a strange 'place where he was polished and shined so brightly that when he looked in a mirror a little later he hardly knew him- self. He was still admiring himself when he was whisked away to another factory where he was encased in a hard, glittering metal which he noticed was marked Solid Gold. His home for the next month was the show case of a large and exclusive Fifth Avenue jewelry store. He was admired by thousands of people until one day he was lifted out of his show case, inspected by a wealthy looking gentleman, and bought for S25.000. That night, when he was presented to the gentleman's wife, was the happiest of his life. For twenty contented years, Herman stayed on his mistress' finger, and during those years he was the happiest diamond alive. The seeds of discontent, however, soon showed their ugly faces. Herman began to get uneasy and yearned for a change in scenery. More and more did his desire grow, until one night when his mistress was asleep, he succeeded in work- ing his way off her finger and on to the floor. At last, shouted the happy Herman, I can see the world, but no sooner had he spoken than he rolled into a crack in the floor. Poor Herman, what a wet miserable night he spent. All his desire to see the world was gone and he would give any- thing to be back home again. Wlren the dawn came there was a wild scurry of activity when the lady found Herman gone. The whole family started to search for him and several times he was sure that they would find him. but each time he was overlooked. If only he could cry out. It was not until several hours later that he was found. After he was back in his old place he made a vow to himself that he would never again venture into the world by himself. The moral of this story is: It is better to be wrapped around a woman's linger than to be on your own. S. OSBORNE '50 Fairy Princess As I sit looking out of my window The snow Falling on the buildings Clothes them in filmy white gowns Like princesses Preparing for a ball, In their jet black hair The stars Twinkle like a host of fireflies, And the heavily burdened trees Bow at their sides Like ladies in waiting. As the dawn appears The Sky rolls back its dark cloak, And the snow looks like a sparkling blan- ket of ermine Laid carefully at their feet, But with the coming of the cruel sun My ladies in waiting, Released from their bLu'dens, Straightened their backs, And my fairy princesses reluctantly pick up their ermine robes And disappear. Never to be seen again. R. CHIPMAN '49 BRAINSTORM In this school so microscopic, The assignments in each topic In amount are just terrific And in number are prolific, Give me need of anesthetic, My condition is pathetic, And my brain is so erratic I've got static in my attic. A. SCOTT '50 THE CATS OF THE FAMILY Sitting on the old low armchair, With exquisite feline grace, Sits the Princess of the household, With contentment on her face. Curled up smugly by the fire, Sleeps Johnny, the household male. He's yellow with a fierce expression And a big, striped, fluffy tail. When they're playing, both together, Or washing Cthat's their daily task! We're always watching and exclaiming, If you like cats, what more can you ask? R. CHIPMAN '49 Page Seven THE SHIPBUILDER THE TOY DEPARTMENT With Apologies to Eugene Field Well, what in the world is this? Is it hash day at the Toll House? Do you sup- pose Henry Wallace has been here? No, it is the toy department at Woolworth's. Everything is gaily decorated, and there is an oily looking man with a yellow mus- tache and a vulgar smile standing by the door and bowing to everybody as they go through. Come, children, let us go in. Bite the man with the vulgar smile if he tries to pat you, and he will love you all the more. Here we are in the toy department. Are not the toys pretty? Oooh! Look at the nice red fire-engine. Did you know that there is a little man inside the motor who makes it run when you turn the crank? Let us try to find the little man. Oh my, the engine is all closed wp tight. Maybe if we bang the bottom with the toy gun over there, we shall be able to get it open. You must be very careful, because the little man is very tender. Well, well, here comes the man with the yellow mustache. He is not smiling now. Perhaps we had better move on. Here we have the book section. It is fascinating is it not, little children? Look at all the books. Here is an interesting book. Let us see what is on the cover. There is a lady leaning against a lamp post. She does not have much on, does she? Perhaps she wishes to keep cool. Let us put a mustache on her. Use your pen so the mustache will not Wipe off. Good. Now put a goatee on her chin. Is she not pretty now? Make sure the ink is dry anl then put the book back on its shelf. Will not the salesman be surprised when he looks at it? Is not this fun, kiddies? Oh my goodness. Look, girls and boys, there is Santa Claus. Do you see him, sitting on the silver throne? My, how jolly he looks. Shall we go over and speak to St. Nick? Very well. Gracious, how fat he is. Do you suppose he is really that fat? Punch him in the stom- ach and see. Dear me, he really is. Come children, let us move on. Oh, is not Christmas a gay season? Here is the glassware section. Mercy, look at all the shiny baubles. Are they not arranged prettily though? What is in this box? Why, here are some plates the salesman did not arrange. Shall we help the salesman and arrange them on the table? Very well, but be very careful. Let us set this plate over here. Vlfhoops. There goes the Dresden doll. Is not that a shame? Hurry and brush the pieces under the table. Gracious, here comes the oily man again. My, does he not look fierce? Why I believe he wants us to go with him. And so we take leave of the toy depart- ment, Was it not an exciting adventure, girls and boys? Run home now and tell mamma where you have been. She will be surprised when she finds out, will she not? E. BULLARD '49 THE THINKER Mr. Bill Waters was a thinker. He was very quiet and always seemed to be thinking very hard. No matter what he did he always thought. In many ways it was a good habit but in a few ways it was an awful affliction. Here is the story, told by Mr. Bill Waters to the Chief of Police of his town. I ad-mit, sir, that I am an unusually quiet person, but you cannot charge me with manslaughter just because of my silence. He spoke with dignity, but made no impression on the chief's marble-like features. Mr, Waters, I see you many times a day, not you yourself, but many like you. You all have the same things to say, but no matter what you say, it won't bring that little girl back to life. He sat, motionless, feeling as though the world was doing him a great injustice. He had been driving to work that morning at about forty miles an hour, or so he thought. It was slippery but he didn't need chains. He was thinking that it would be an awful time for a reckless driver. He was a very careful driver, so he neednit worry. As he turned a corner, he did not see a little girl cross the street and slip on the ice. He kept right on driving and it was only when he felt the dull thud of her body under the wheel that he realized what he had done. Honest, sir, you can't blame a man for thinking about his business worries as he drives to work, can you? He felt his face grow flushed and his heart began to beat quickly as the chief said: Mr. Waters, you weren't thinking that time. Just day dreaming. Your case comes up in two days. He walked out. He'd better send the little girl a wreath. As he stepped into the street a car rushed toward him. A cry, then blackness . , . 5 The driver was another thinker . RUTH CHIPMAN '49 SNOW Snow, snow, snow, snow, Drifting down in ceaseless flow. Drifting, drifting, feather light, Floating down in fairy flight. RUSSELL WINSLOW '48 Page Eight THE SHIPBUILDER SKIING Skiing is a great sport when done properly. If not done properly it can be very disgusting. First you have to have a pair of skis fnaturallyl and if you haven't got an excellen-t equalibrium you will also need ski poles. You'l1 need ski boots, not to keep your feet warm be- cause there's nothing colder than a pair of ski boots, but to fit into the ski har- nesses which you will also need. Warm clothing will be necessary funless you're a member of the polar clubb. After getting all these necessities you will have to find some snow Cpreferably on a hillb. Once at the top of the hill you are ready to ski. Give yourself a push with your ski poles and then bend over in a crouching position. Now you are sailing. If once you get going you find yourself confronted with a tree, you will probably run into it-unless of course, you go around it. This can be done by pointing the toes of the skiis to- gether and then lifting the right or left foot fdepending on which side of the tree you want to go aroundh and placing it be- side the other one. You can now breath easily, for can you?D For there in front of you is a ski jump. You stay crouched over and .go over the jump on your head. What you should have done was straighten up when you got to the jump. Don't bend over in your crouch a-gain until your skis touch the ground for more than your skis will touch the groundl. After you've completed the above tasks, you are ready to get fancy, so you try the salome which is done on a straight slope by making a series of S's in succession fin other words like a snakej. To make the S's you lean from one side to the other and swerve all the way down the hill. Now that you've had your skiing lesson you take off your skis and go home, and if y0u're not sore you can consider your- self an expert. NANCY CHASE '49 'l'he Castle by the Sea Hast thou seen that lordly castle, That castle by the sea? Golden and red above it, The clouds float gorgeously. And fain it would stoop downward To the mirrored wave below, And fain it would soar upward In the evening's crimson glow. I have seen that castle, That castle by the sea, And the moon above it standing, And the mist rise solemnly. The winds and the waves of ocean, Had they a merry chime? Didst thou hear, from those lofty cham- bers The harp and the minstrel's rhyme? P. DICKMAN '51 Page N THE OLD MAN Everybody wanted the old man to win the bass fishing tournament. Every morn- ing people would shout encouragement at him as he walked down the street toward his favorite fishing pool. He would shout back, Maybe this is my year! This was the old man's last season, his last chance to win the competition that had always managed to elude him. Doc was a ,great teacher. A pool of wa- ter was his blackboard and a battered old rod his pointer. Doc had converted many a young boy into an experienced fisherman, although many were betting that Doc could not tame wild Tommey Loud. On the last day of the season, Doc dis- covered that within the last twenty-four hours someone had caught a larger fish than his. A few minutes later the old man met the game warden. He told Doc that Tommy has been caught netting bass in the lake. After several minutes Doc re- ceived perrnission to talk to Tommy once more before he was taken in. The old man also found out from the warden that the person who caught the largest fish was Jim Hardyg well known for his shady deals. Doc reached the edge of his pool when a young frog slid into the water. Sud- denly there was ia large splash and the frog was gone. The old man quickly hitched on an artificial frog and cast is far out. Suddenly the line tightened and after a long hard struggle he 'landed the beauty. Doc, you've won! It was Tommy's voice beside him. Doc slowly removed the hook and put the fish back into the water. Tommy see- ing this, realized the old man's sportsman- ship and slowly 'walked towards his boat. He rowed to the middle removed his net and cut a big hole in it, letting it sink to the bottom. K. TORREY '49 Solitude High on a lonely hill I wish to stand Alone, untouched by human thought or hand. Conscious only of refreshing wind against my face And a dim awareness of a higher, un- known place. The wind turns cold, and forces me to turn ' away Back to another monotonous and tiring day. Others cannot understand the feeling of this mood A hopeless, desperate longing for peace and solitude. M. OSBORNE '48 ine THE SHIPBUILDER BEWILDERED Now what am I going to do? I puz- zled as I stood on a street corner looking very perplexed and bewildered. Yester- day I .got a job delivering groceries for Jones's Meat Market and today when I reported for work the boss gave me a bundle to deliver to Mrs. Woodland at 30 Vine Street-or did he? For the tenth time I looked at the street sign. It said in big bold letters, Vine Street. But there was no 30 Vine Street and all the buildings on Vine Street were warehouses. I gave the place one last look and set out for the drugstore I had seen on the cor- ner. I trudged along slowly trying to think if I had the right address. I was sure I had. I walked into the drugstore, dropped my nickel into the slot and dialed a number. Hello, Jones's Meat Market. Harvey Jones speaking, sounded the bosses voice over the phone. Boss, it's Billy, I said. 'tWhy in blue blazes haven't you deliv- ered that bundle to Mrs. Vine at 30 Wood- land Road? Hurry up and deliver it. Now what do you want? he yelled gasfp- ing for breath. Oh nothing, I explained as I put down the receiver. W. REAGAN '51 JUNIOR CLASS NEWS Class Officers President WILLARD ROBINSON Vice President . ......... PETER CLARK Secretary ............. .... R UTH CHIPMAN Treasurer ...,.......... RICHARD KELLY A Sadie Hawkins Record Dance was given by the Juniors in the school audi- torium October 24, 1947.

Class officers were elected as follows: President, Phyllis Thomas, Vice-Presi- dent, Scott Osborng Secretary, May Han- son, Treasurer, Helen McHugh. Guidance class, which began when school opened in September, has proved to be very interesting and amusing to our class, especially with Miss Maguire as our leader. Follo-wing the pattern set by the Sopho- more class of last year, this year's class gave a Christmas Formal on the night of December eighteenth. The hall was dec- orated in the true holiday spirit with two large Christmas trees on either side of the stage. Al Deiss and his orchestra pro- vided the music, and the refreshments, including fruit punch, coke and cookies, wer served by the fair sex of the Sopho- more class. A few of our girls were saddened by the fact that Richard White left our insti- tute of knowledge for his old stamping grounds in Quincy High. Majorie Forkey had an extended Christ- mas vacation due to the fact that she con- tracted pneumonia over the holidays. FRESHMEN NEWS Our Freshmen class, plan to hold its first dance of the school year, April 2. Admission will be 30 cents and refresh- ments will be served.

Seaquist, R. Wessrnan, D. Norris, E. Allen, H. Walter, A. Stearns, second row: Coach F. Dixon, P. Dickman, J. Cann, R. Ripley, J. McManus, Manager, A. Haskell. ATHLETICS Basketball Coach Felix Dixon started basketball practice in the latter part of October so as to get the boys in shape for the coming season. At the Hrst practice he found that there were twenty boys present, five of whom received a varsity letter from the year before. Those boys were: Pete Clark, Robert Wessman, Donald Norris, Henry Walter and Earle Allen. All of these boys, with the exception of Pete Clark are seniors. Our first practices consisted of calis- thenics and other exercises to build up our wind. It was announced by Coach Dixon that all positions were open. After three or four weeks, scrimmages were started and he practised with different combinations. After much experimenting Coach Dixon found that his first team consisted of the five lettermen of the last year and Fred Seaquist, who was a newcomer to the school. We scheduled several practice scrim- mages with Abington. We played two non-league games with East Bridgewater. An epidemic of Scarlet Fever in Marion prevented us from playing them. We beat East Bridgewater at East Bridgewaterg however, we lost to them on our own home court. During the season we were hosts to Amherst, New Hampshire, Edgartown and Nantucket. This year the league was changed and instead of playing fourteen games, two with each teamg we only played ten gamesg two with Hanover, Scituate and Cohasset in the northern part of the league. And one with Duxbury, Pem- broke, Kingston and Marshfield in the southern part of the league. We started out the league with a win over one of our traditional rivals, Scit- uate. We did not fare so well in the rest of the league games winning only three and losing seven. Three of these losses were by two points or less. As to Han- over, our other traditional rival, we were defeated both times but made a better showing in the second game at Norwell. The three wins were over northern teams, Scituate twice and Cohasset once. On February 23, we went over to the Brockton Tournament and played Plains- ville. After we had led for over a half they dropped in three quick baskets and we were defeated by four points. Although three lettermen are leaving in this year's senior class, next year should find Norwell with a winning team. Pete Clark and Fred Seaquist will form the nucleus around which coach Dixon will built next year's squad. This year we had a strong second team, winning eight and losing three. The second team should fit right into next year's schedule. EARLE ALLEN HENRY WALTER Page Twelve THE SHIPBUILDER GIRLS BASKETBALL Left to right first row: A. Feneck, B. Thomas, M. Osborne, R.

ATHLETE'S HONESTY Norwell 17 Nantucket 26 Seaquist, appearing in court as a wit- Norwell 29 Pembroke 16 ness in a civil suit. Norwell 19 Cohasset 33 Are you on Norwell Hifgh's Basketball Norwell 26 Edgartown 11 team this year? asked t-he judge. Norwell 23 Nantucket 39 Seaquist: Yes, your honor. Judge: What position? Seaquist: Guard, Your honor. Judge: How good a guard. Seaquist, without batting an eyelash, re- plied, Sir I'm the best guard Norwell ever had. Mr. Dixon seated in the back of the courtroom was surprised because Sea- quist was always modest and unassum- ing. When the case was over Mr. Dixon asked him why he had much such a state- ment. Seaquist again wthout batting an eyelash replied: I hated to do it coach, but after all, I was under oath. The team played three non-league games, defeating Edgartown, but losing both Nantucket games. The second team was victorious in the two games they played. We were all sorry that they didn't play more often. The second team was: CCaptainD J. Han- son, B. McCarthy, S. Hall, E. Georgetti, F. Jackman, Ann Feneck, P. Thomas, E. Sousa, J. Murphy, G.

It seems to be laughing merrily as it races on its coures. Listening, you almost hear a tune as the little brook goes rolling down the slope. I have often tried to make a 'cheery song out of the Way the brook goes racing past me. Have you ever tried it? It's fun.

A TRIP T0 VENUS We are now taking off for Venus. In our rocket ship our speed is only 1,000 miles an hour as we don't want to take off too fast! As we gain altitude, our speed rapidly accelerates to 10,000 m.p.h. We expect to be gone a bit over one month the trip each way being about one and a half weeks. For eig-ht days now we lhave been in the air. Our ship long ago passed the pull of gravity from Earth, and we are shooting full speed toward Venus Where We expect to land tomorrow. To save fuel we shut off our rockets and let Venus' gravity make us fall onward! Bump! On April 5, 1968, we are landing on Venus. Here it is about thirty degrees colder than Earth. It is covered with plants though it has no mpeople. Water runs in little streams that seem to go no- where. At every step we cover five feet and a slight jump carries us twelve feet into the air. All because of different gravity! We are leaving for Earth and are try- ing to save fuel for our rockets are run- ning low, We are stranded in 'space. Just be- tween the two gravities, our rockets give out, and since no gravity pulls us, our ship stays still. It looks as if our knowl- edge of Venus will never reach Earth. PRESTON RIPLEY, G-rade 8.

She gently felt her flowers, And touched her gown of net, Imprinting in her memory, The thoughts she'd not forget. The Junior Prom was over .... Her date had said good-night. She stood there, in the doorway, As his car drove out of sight. His auto, sleek and shiny, Was a Packard to her eyes. CThe car was in reality, a junk-pile in disguise? ' Her escort, tall and lanky, Was to her a Tyrone Power, Regardless of his whiffle He became Man of the Hour. His dancing was delightful. When they waltzed among the crowd, The gym, became the night sky And she danced upon a cloud. Her lips had tasted rich champagne Though no one would agreeg CHer glass' contained just lemonade, That anyone could see.J The roses on her shoulder Slowly disappeared from sight. -Transformed into an orchid When she gazed at them that night. She was living in a fantasy, A world that few can gain, But in a few short hours, Just a memory would remain. A memory of the Junior Prom That few girls can achieve, The memory of a dreamy night, In a world of Make Believe. A. SCOTT '50 THAT WOMAN B is obtuse C is acute B is greater than C.

The motor shook, the headlights blinked, The radiator leaked, The pistons whistled when they worked, The carburetor squeaked. The roof was off, the doors were gone, The windshield wasn't there, And every time he pressed the starter, Biack clouds filled the air. But all those minor broken parts Meant not a thing to me, As I stumbled to the limousine, Before my riding sepree. The first thing that I noticed When I stepped inside the door, Was-there were no boards in there, My feet fell through the floor. I felt the pavement 'neath my feet, And screamed, What have I done? But Richard pulled me up again, And said, Twas just in fun. I scrambled back upon the seat And forced a feeble smile, Richard grinned a gorgeous grin And said, This crate's in style. He pushed the starter, pressed the cluch, And soon we lumbred off, The fumes of burning gasoline Made Richard cough and cough. The day was windy, dust blew wild- It went in Richard's eye, He couldn't see a thing at all,- The scenery flew by. Electric poles came nearer And we missed one by an inch. I hollered when we crossed a lawn CBut Richard didh't fiincnl. We zizagged all around the town, I yelled, Hey! STOP this crate. The auto finally ceased to run, But I had yelled too late. So now we lie in cloth of stripes, Groaning in our beds, With bruises on our arms and legs And bars above our heads. The car is in a junk pile now, And marked, THIS JUNK FOR SALE, For Richard and the car and I Had crashed into the JAIL! A. SCOTT '50 ' Stearns: Pm a little stiff from bowl- ing.

I'm stuck with the bill and shoved right out the door. RUSSELL WINSLOW '48 Mr. Dixon: Mesheau, give me two 4 watt bulbs. Mesheau: Two what? Mr. Dixon: No, four watt. Mesheau: Four what? Mr. Dixon: That's right. Mrs. Joyce: Helen McHugh, what does LXX mean? H. McHugh: 'tLove and Kisses. Frank Cashman while visiting Pete Clark, saw him shaking a rabbit vigor- ously and shouting, What are five and five? What are five and five? Cashman, seeing that something is wrong asked, what are you doing? Well, said Pete, Hsomeone told me that rabbits multiply fast, but this dumb bunny can't even add. In a history test one day, one of the questions was, Name two ancient sports. A student racked his brain and finally came up with an answer that passed him, Anthony and Cleopatra. As I See It It is the student who doesn't try that is trying. Some girls are pretty smart: others are just pretty. A penny saved may be a penny earned, but who cares about a penny. It looks like the only thing coming down these days is the woman's hemline. Some people can type 60 words a minute and gripeg Others type 40 words and complain: some type 20 and thank God. A diamond is only a piece of coal that stuck it out. She took my hand with loving care: She took my costly ring so rare. She took my candy and my books- She took my eye with meaning looks. She took all that I could buy- And then she took the other guy! FRANTIC My room right now's A horrid mess, For here's a skirt And there's a dress. My desk is full Of magazines And I can't seem To find a means Of starting to Pick up my room. Oh, where's the mop And where's the broom? I should obey My mother's orders Which mothers give To all their daughters, When through with things, put them away. T'Wi11 Save You work from day to day. R.

Mother: How did it happen? Kelly: UI fell off the pantry shelf. Mother: Wlhat were you doing up there? Kelly: I was getting glue to fix the vase in the other room. Mother: Goodness, did you break that? Kelly: No, the golf ball did. Mother: Oh, were you playing golf in the house. Kelly: No, I was playing outdoors: the ball came in through the broken window. Mother: What broken windows Kelly: The one the baseball went through. The sav-ages closed around the tentg The lovers trembled in the gloom: They knew their life was well-nigh spent, They knew they faced their doom. He kissed the ringlets on her head, He crushed her in embrace of death: And as he kissed her lips he said, There's a garlic on your breath! THE NEW TEACHER Jimmy looked the new teacher over appraisingly. She was young and very pretty. Jimmy was a senior in high school. I could get away with murder, thought Jimmy to himself, with her as our teacher. The first day was pretty good, just as Jimmy 'had thought it would be. But after that first day his attitude toward the teacher changed. After school the kids usually went down for a coke but this afternoon Jimmy stayed to study. CSO he saidl. A week passed and he remained after school 'every night. Jimmy was fascinated with the teacher. 'I'he big dance was coming next week but he de- cided to go stag because he wanted to dance with the teacher all he could. When he got there he saw her dancing with a very handsome man. She later introduced him as her husband. All Jimmy's after- noon studying had been for nothing. J. HALL '51 Teacher: John Sav-age, can you tell me what a politician is? Savage: A man who stands for what he thinks others will fall for. A June bug married an angle worm, An accident cut her in two: They charged the bug with bigamy, Now what could the poor thing do?
