14 THE WAMPUM He at length was demanded to be surrendered to the Romans, and rather than to be killed by the race which he had hated since his boyhood, he took poison which he always carried with him for such an emergency. Hannibal was a man whom all his countrymen loved and respected, who, while laboring under many difficulties, unceasingly fought for what he deemed the right — a man of rare military in- genuity, capable of manoeuvring stra- tegic moves at the proper time. His ability to grasp the situation and carry through perfectly, plans which other leaders would claim impossible, was re- markable. To Hannibal impossible, was an impossible word. His great ability, already shown, made Hannibal a great general, and places him in the list of the greatest leaders. A. H. D. ' 18. Social Events On the night of November 12th the Athletic Association of the High School held a supper in the Methodist Vestry, Bryantville. The supper was well at- tended by parents, friends, and the scholars, and was a great success, both socially and financially. After the sup- per games were played which were en- joyed by all. Much credit is due to the able way in which the food and coffee were handled by Mrs. F. W. Snow, Mrs. W. T. Johnson, Mrs. A. Graham, and Mrs. C. E. Crowell. Thanks are especially due Mr. Walter Kilbrith, who gave the coffee and also to his wife, who prepared it most excellently. The waiters were members of the Associa- tion. The pupils of the P. H. S. held a private social, January 22, 1915, under the supervision of the three teachers, in Assembly Hall, Pembroke, Mass. Nearly all of the pupils were present, and every one enjoyed himself. There were games of every kind, which were played by the pupils with much enthus- iasm, and many popular songs were sung, accompanied on the piano by Miss Mildred Dunn. There was an inter- mission, during which ice cream and cake were served by the boys- of the school. More games were played after the intermission and dancing was en- joyed. The social broke up at ten o ' clock. With the exception of five persons the whole school turned out in a body for the pung ride on the evening of February 5. The route from Bryant- ville led through the Indian Fields Road to Pembroke, thence to Hanover and Rockland by way of North Pem- broke, where another two-horse load joined us. The crowd was well sup- plied with bells and horns, and it is needless to say there was no difficulty in keeping the road ahead clear. At Rockland the crowd dispersed for half an hour and made a raid on all the drug stores and confectionery stands in sight. Several times we had to turn up our coat collars and meekly endure a gauntlet fire of snowballs from the youths of Rockland, who regard all sleighing parties as easy marks; but we all survived without serious injury. On April 23th the senior class held an entertainment at which the follow- ing program was given: — Song, Lullaby, High School Chorus Song, Spring Song, Girls ' Chorus Solo, Gypsy Song, Alice Gerow Song, Questions, Girls ' Chorus Farce — Thirty Minutes for Refresh- ments, with the following cast of characters : — John Downley, Bachelor, Arthur Donnell John Foxton, Young Groom, Arthur Graham Major Pepper, Major in the Army, Walter Crowell Clarence Fitts, Colored Porter, Willard Snow Mrs. Foxton, Foxton ' s Wife, Ruth Spofford Arabella Pepper, Major Pepper ' s Sis- ter, Lucia Whitman
