The gray and black blending of the uneven stones piled one upon the other and stretching out over the acres divide the land into fields and lots. The walls were built by strong purposeful men who took the time to build for the future. Some stones were too large, some too small, and others had to be tried, but the walls have stood the test of time. Stalwart men built our town as solidly as they erected the stone walls. Some people found the place too small, others found it too large. Some have tried Norwell and settled here because they want peace and contentment mingled with the beauty and tradition that the stone walls encompass. 3 Facult First Row- Miss Irene Barteau, Mrs. Marion Joyce, Mrs. Rose Vose, Mrs. Ella Osborn, Mrs. Pauline Cobleigh, Mrs. Grace Cole, Mrs. Patricia Macdonaldg Second Row- Mr. Edward Maguire, Mrs. Hazel Johnson, Mrs. Ethel bproul, Miss Elizabeth Farrar, Mr. Frederick Small, Mrs. Ann Brandt, Mrs. Regina Paradise, Mrs. Enid Taylor, Mr. Felix Dixon. ational Honor Society Arlene Mouzer, Marjorie Forkey, Ann Scott. 4 Staff First Row Art Editor....Marjorie Forkey Assistant Editor....Ann Scott Editor.........Phy11is Thomas Sports... .....He1en McHugh Student Second Row Sports...........Arthur Stearns Business Manager......John Cann Literary Editor...Scott Gsborne Photography........Verna Hebner Council First Row- J.

Class Colors Class Histor Finding ourselves alone and unprotected in the Freshman Class, we were taken under the wing of Mrs. Turner who guided us safely through the first perilous months. During those early months, Dave Bailey joined the elite at Thayer and Teddy Baldwin started to work that fall. Lovely Verna Hahner transferred from Whitman High, and lanky Don Phillips arrived from Scituate. Our English class was interrupted by the resignation of Miss Alden and we found our match in Miss Whitehouse who took her place. Many of our sturdy crew joined the sport teams. In spite of seasickness we were thrilled by the trip to Nantucket. In our Sophomore year we really began to shine. Lofty, talkative Ann Scott brightened our days after the glamour of sunny California had called Dick White. Soon we found Joe Dean and Em ett Butler absent from our ranks. Our play, 'The Heritage of Wimpole Street', won the cup the night of the Inter-Class Plays. We presented the Christmas formal and the dance was a success. The decorations were enhanced by two huge Christmas trees taken from the Hansons' yard. We failed to win the prize for our Banquet table, a record never broken by our class. Big doin's our Junior year. After many squabbles we purchased our class rings. This year we failed to win the cup with our play, 'Air Tight Al1bi'. By March, we were deep in preparations for the Junior Prom. We had Old South decorations and the dance was a hit. During the year we lost Sheila Cunningham, 'Red' Haskell and Covert Bailey and welcomed Lena Johnson. Now after many tribulations, we have arrived at our goal. We are minus two members, Lena Johnson and George Jackman. Our mighty class numbers twenty-one,hale and hearty schol- ars. Instead of the usual dignified welcome for the Freshmen, we initiated the unlucky crew at a Hallowe'en dance. They came in costume and were put through their paces to the delight of the audience and to the victims' hearty disapproval. The play, This Daring Generation', was our choice this yeah and again we won the cup. Endless work began on the Shipbuilder be- fore Christmas and was finally completed in February. Graduation is upon us. We have enjoyed the many good times sprinkled among our study hours the past four years. We wish to thank our many friends, fellow students, and teachers who have made these years the happiest for us. 'TW s..x 'vu'-5' :Qs uniors Front Row- S. Tingley, R. Jackson, J. Wessman, E.

The Juniors contributed 'Two Crooks and a Ladyn, with John McManus, Audrey Johnson, Bole Giorgetti, Betsey Carruthers, Peter Dick- man, and Eliot Robinson. In appreciation for her guidance and help in directing our play we presented Mrs. Taylor with an orchid. Although the Seniors were the prize-winners, we gained much knowledge and experience in the presentation of our play. On May 12, the class held the annual Junior Prom. This year the auditorium was decorated with rose trellises and a pale moon, suggesting the theme nMoonlight and Rosesu. I 11 Sophomorcs First Row- P. Gunderway, M. Cellini, J. Hall, T. Peachey, T.

We felt the loss of Peter keen- ly, for he had been chosen President of the Sophomore class and was our representative to the Student Council. Jean Shepherd transferred from Norwell High to Thayer Academy early in the fall. In Guidance II, we have been making a survey of requirements and expenses of various schools and colleges. During Guidanoe,we have investigated available information about Tufts College, University of Chicago, Katherine Gibbs, and University of Massachusetts. Our class has greatly enjoyed being Sophomores. Our attitude has changed since last year and we feel we are a little further along on the road to better understanding. With the able assistance of Mrs. Joyce, our class play,'Elizabeth's Young Mann, was presented. The cast consisted of Judith Hall, Marya Cellini, Patricia Terry, and Donald Merritt. 12 Freshmen First Row- P. Wright, P. Wright, D. Kelly, P. Ripley, D. Mer- ritt, A. Cornwell, D. Des Jardins, E.

Student Council Representative: Patricia Crombie The Class of 1955 welcomed Mrs. Vose as homeroom teacher. She is also the new com- mercial arts teacher and girls' basketball chaperone. We greeted three new students in our class: Nancy Taylor from Marshfield High, Kathleen Day from Notre Dame, and James Lockhart from the School of the Immaculate Conception. We are enjoying many good times with the new students, for they have brought with them talent and charm. When school assembled in September, we noticed the absence of two familiar faces--those of Arthur Joseph and Kenneth Ekstrom. Both are attending Weymouth Trade School. During the year Richard Wiley and Duncan Grey moved from town. we wish to be remembered and extend our kindest thoughts to our old school pal, Rose Molla, who was forced to leave because of illness. We feel proud of our representation on the varsity basketball squads. Members are Preston Ripley, David Merritt, Donald Kelly, Walter Hall, Eileen Schindler, Carol McCarthy, and Dianne Hall. Freshmen members of the band are Dorothy Howes, clanging the cymbals, Patricia Crombie, beating the drum, and John Cashman, squeaking the trumpet. Our Freshmen girls started the ball rolling for a field hockey team under the leadership of Mrs. MacDonald. The ball didn't roll very far last SSDCSMDSP, but we hope upperclassmen will roll it along to goals next September. 13 Eighth Grade First Row- C. Hanson, F. Cavanaugh, T. Crowell, S. Sylvester, L.

The black shapes of ships silhouetted on the crest of the sheet looked like black paper cut-outs pasted into place. Their rigging cast on the water intricate Spanish lace shadows. On the horizon was the dark figure of a lighthouse which had been de- serted for many years. Here and there the full moon cast weird shadows. Slightly detracting from the beauty of the scene was the usual fishy smell. Soft lapping of the waves almost lulled me to sleep, but somehow I cou1dn't close my eyes to the loveliness of the scene. Anne Wilson 8 ACCORD POND Accord Pond is a lovely place surrounded by towering pines. Now and then a fish breaks its calm surface. If you look hard enough you can see them swimming in the cool, clear water. From the east shore floats the fragrance of wild roses. Quite often can be heard the clamor of wild geese as they settle down on the silver water. Paul Robinson 8 14 Seventh Grade First Row- J. Douglas, J. MacFarlane, J. Brown, L. Stone, R. Grant, M. L.

Thomas THE RACE CRACK went the pistol! Eight boys, all striving to win the mile race, dashed past the sight-seers. First Hans was ahead and leading by a few yards. On they sped, tiny figures down the course. Suddenly Peter Van Holp shot into the lead. The boys had turned the loop and swung into the home stretch. Three of them were neck and neck. The crowd was wildly cheering. Now the race was almost over. Streaking past the others, a straining figure crossed the finish line. Peter Van Holp had won the silver skates! M 7 STETSON SHRINE Joan acFarlane In our community there is a place of historic interest. In 1634 Cornet Robert Stetson received a large grant of land from the Colony Court. This estate on the North River made up his farm. His house was built on a beautiful plain near the stream. An unfailing and valuable spring which has supplied eight generations of the family marks the spot. Cool, tasty water is still being produced by the spring. 'Cornet's Rocksn in the river east of his farm are well known to those who navigate the channel. His old farmhouse is still standing but slowly going to rack and ruin. It is now known as 'Stetson's Shrinen. Every year the Stetson family gath- ers for a 'Stetson Reunion Weekn. The place is also visited by many a camper, hiken and his- torian. It is located off Stetson Road in the Church Hill section of Norwell.

Little did I realize the cunning or power of the Security Corps--the dread S. C. Society. That evening following the horrible deed, I went to bed early. Sometime during the night I was awakened by a sharp rap on the door. I arose undisturbed, thinking it was perhaps the landlord or a late visitor. Opening the door, I beheld a man dressed in an ordinary suit and overcoat. Still I was not alarmed. 'What can I do for you?n I asked him. nI've been ordered to take you down to headquarters,n he replied, revealing his blue and white arm band. HJust put on your coat and come along with me. Nothing will happen to you so long as you behave and don't try anything.n How could I try anything with my head in a whirl, and my brain numbed by the sudden shock? How had the fiends found out? I permitted myself to be led away, and we soon arrived at the jail. My captor threw me into a cell, a small, evil-smelling dungeon. I lay there for some time, thinking. Suddenly a thought came into my head. If they were only suspicious of me, they would wait for me to sign a confession. If I signed one, I was as good as dead. Later I was led to a clean, well-lighted room. This was the leader's office. I was blinded momentarily by the bright lights, and it was some minutes before I could see clearly. There was no escape from that roomy the door had been bolted and locked after me, and two guards stood along each wall. The leader motioned me to sit down. UAl1 right, sir, we don't want to detain you too long. We realize you are a busy man. Just sign the paper here and you can go.n nNo,n I shouted, UI won't sign it. I haven't done anything wrong and you can't make me sign it.n nIt's up to you. We know you committed the crime, and I think we shall be able to per- suade you to change your m1nd.n He signalled one of the guards. 'Wh1tey, take this guy into the next room and soften him up,n he said. A big brute grabbed my arm, took me into the room, and pounded me until I was unconscious. Someone re- vived me by throwing a bucket of water in my face. I refused to sign, so I was strapped to the wall and given fifty lashes across the back with a cat-o-nine-tails. The pain was un- bearable, and for the second time, I lapsed into unconsciousness. I was revived as before. Again I was asked to sign. I refused. 'He's a stubborn one, 1sn't he?n one of the guards remarked. I was dragged back to my cell for the night. I realized I was near the end of my endurance. Next morning the torture continued. Still groggy, I was made toqsit in a chair facing a fire in which a red-hot poker gleamed. This was too much! The conression was orought be- fore me and I signed. I was given a quick mock trial, and now I am awaiting my execution. You may question the reason for my recording these facts. I want to spare those who are contemplating breaking the rules of the S. C. the dreadful torture I endured. You can never get away, for according to its motto: nThe Student Council always gets its man!n Remember this and beware. Scott Osborne '50 17 TO BUILD A STOCK CAR So you want to build a stock car? Well, I am one of the few girls who can tell you how to do it. All sum er I lived, breathed, and ate stock cars. The basic block is stock Ford V-8--the resemblance ends here. You bore the cylinders out from 1X8 to f inches over-size, racing pistons designed to eliminate power-loss and highly polished to prevent carbon deposits are installed leaving plenty of clearance for expansion. Any reputable piston is permissable. You are striving for increased horse power, so ou will need a 'stroked' crank shaft, lengthening the stroke from lfl6 to 5 16 inches. Your next concern ls the camshaft. Various racing grinds are available, for instance, a nmodifiedu or nsemin grind is used for a pleasure car when A I better than average pick-up is desirable. For the one-half and one-fourth UMW? mile tracks the nFull Racen and nsuperu grinds are used. This action is brought about by grinding the stock shaft in such a way that the exhaust and intake valves overlap when closing and opening. This results in a scavenger- ing effect Cthe exhaust action pulls in the gas mixture through the open in- take valvel. In order to supply the necessary fuel mixture, a special racing intake manifold employing two carburetors is used. You'll need a good fuel pump, electric or otherwise, and many may install a system whereby air pressure is put into the gas tank to force the fuel to the carburetor. Experimenting with fuel formulas brings about increased acceleration. You might use ben- zol, ether, or alcohol in conjunction with a good grade of gasoline and tetraethyl. With a fuel formula, greater comparison ratios are necessary, so you must employ racing heads. To insure maximum efficiency under the . tremendous strain, fill the crank case with the best heavy weight oil and a mixture of castor oil. This completes the motor, the backbone of your ,gn I quyg V racing car. Now you must find a light Ford coupe, preferably of 1937 Qgiyig jiiixig, vintage, to support the completed motor.'

The lower the gear ratio 11 ' in the rear-end, the more R.P.M.'s the motor will turn up to provide the required speed. This develops more power in the motor. Use a ratio of about 5 to 1. A big radiator equipped with an expansion tank is important, for terrific heat will be generated by the fast turning motor. Tut smooth-capped, over-sized, and rugged racing tlres on special wheels. You'll need fifty pounds of air in the two tires on the right side of the car, as this is the side that takes the punishmentg all the corners of the track are to the left. To make the car nhandlen is important, so you must shift the weight of the body to the left. That side tends to lift in the corners. Use a larger- 1-Wg-T15 than-average steering arm for quicker steering action. - Qu? This completes your car, but don't forget a flashy paint job, not greeng green is unlucky. Pick a good number to paint on the side of the car. The next problem, and probably the most difficult, is to find someone to naimn the racer.

Sheddon White 8 THE Day was just beginning to break the stream, I saw a large swirl, and the large fish which must be in that GREAT BATTLE on the opening day of the fishing season. Approaching a good sized trout jumped from the water. Thinking of pool, I hurriedly made my final preparations. My first cast brought a rise from a small speckled trout about ten inches long. As I pulled him from the water, his sides gleamed too, for the day had started after I had caught six good sized tro There was something intriguing a minnow nibbled at the bait. I was re gleamed with small red and orange spots. My hopes well. I gradually moved down stream. An hour later, ut, I returned to the first pool. bout this spotg I tried several casts, but not even a ady to move on. CRASH! He struck. He hit with such force that my pole almost jerked from my hands. My heart leaped with excitement as the fish made a terrific plunge upstreamg moving so fast that I thought we were him downstream, for he was taking all in a flash,he turned and raced downstream. He was on our way to the open Atlantic. I quickly followed my line. I managed to get some line back and felt that my prey was tiring. Suddenly the line went taut, and he again lunged for open water. Falling over slippery stones, I stumb in deep water. As I struggled around ceded a waterfall. It was now or nev led after him. Again and again I went over my boots a bend, I saw some rapids which, I knew, just pre- er! Bending the rod frightfully, I braced myself and pulled for all I was worth. Time stood still--would my equipment hold? His runs became shorter and weak he was ready to land. Here was a fis stuffed and hanging above the dining won! I played him carefully, I must aghast, for there before me lay four er, the line began to loosen, and after a few minutes h! I had visions of a fifteen pound trout beautifully table--a tribute to my skill. Yes! I turned him. I had not lose him! I couldn't wait to beach him. I was feet of slithery,slimy eel.

But times must have changed Since she took up teaching For she blows her stack When she catches you cheating. She drives to the High School Each morning at eight And all of the students Hope she'll be late. She drives a white Mercury, 19 A new '49N, And leaves the other cars Trailing behind. So if you should meet her Where the road makes a turn Put in a good word For lazy Art Stearns. I'm sure she will say nwhat are you 1mply1ng?, Can Stearns pass English Without even trying?H Arthur Stearns '50 THE BURRS AND THE HAMILTONS SEE A TV PLAY-OFF The Burrs and the Hamiltons lived on Ocean Street, good neighbors, amiable in all mat- ters except baseball. The Hamilton family, loyal Boston rooters, waged a continual verbal war against the Burrs, fanatical Yankee fans. It was near the end of the '49 season and Boston and New York were tied for the title. The Hamiltons had invited the Burrs to come over and watch the play-off game. There might be arguments, but both families wanted to see the game. At the appointed time, all were clustered in the Hamiltons living room. It was a hard fought game all the way, but finally the Boston team won. A gloom sank on the Burrsg anger burned within them. Arthur Hamilton tried to console them, but Alan Burr's temper exploded in a flash, and his gloved hand whipped across Ham1lton's mouth. All gasped for this could mean only one thing--a duel! nTomorrow at dawn,n snarled Hamilton. nwith pistols,n called Burr as he stalked out the back door. As dawn broke, the two men met on the downtown green. Arthur Hamilton, still joyous at his team's victory, felt so cheerful that he hardly wanted to uphold his honorg Alan Burr with murder in his heart, handed Arthur a pistol. nwalk ten paces and f1re,H called the local doctor. nI'll just fire in the air, I know old Sam's only bluff1ng,u thought Arthur as he walked out the paces. Then two shots crashed out: one went skywardg the other buried itself in Hamilton's chest! The Burrs live on Ocean Street. William Mullen '53 THE LAW OF GOD There is a miracle in life, The presence on earth of man, And God also created The earth, the sky and land. Has man the right To now destroy What God has power to claim? Has man the right To now destroy what he can't construct again? The trace of life that now exists Is Nature's dead remains, The Beauty God once put in life Is covered now with stains. The mark of toil, the scar of strife, The blackened cloak of war Which covers earth and touches sky, Can never be God's Law. Verna Hahner '50 MY SISTER The essence of spring' The voice of a bird: A smile of the gods A song is her word. The fine threads of sold, Which cover her head Glisten in sunl1Sht Like things angels said. Phyllis Thomas '50 20 Thirty years Thirty years Todays Thirty years THE AMERICAN DREAM ago they laid great faith in the younger generation: ago they were repeating: children, tomorrow's citizens with a bright future.' ago they were tired, tired people, Ready to slip heavy burdens to small, small shoulders, And these small shoulders grew and gathered strength, And small heads gathered wisdom. But Tomorrow never came---not the Great Tomorrow-- Not the wild dream of each returning soldier, Not the promised Tomorrow of the many speeches and epics, Only another warring Tomorrow, a bloody Tomorrow, A Tomorrow of Death. And five years ago they were tired, tired people, Ready to slip heavy burdens to small, small shoulders-- And our small shoulders grew and gathered strength, And our small heads gathered practical wisdom, And Tomorrow--a real, firm Tomorrow, we pray is soon to come.
