The past school year presented many a perplexing problem with which the administration coped efficiently and successfully. Despite obstacles, Mr. Chester Ray, who in a short time has won the confidence and hearts of both the townsfolk and the school youngsters, capably met each challenge, and our system functioned smoothly. Again our tried and true and much respected principal, Mnjohn Gifford, ironed out the wrinkles in the high school pro- gram which had to be adjusted to meet the requirements of the Vocational Household Arts Department for girls which was adopted this year. And too, much credit is due Miss Lillian Dunn, kind, capable, and efficient, who untiringly labored to uphold and improve the standards of our grade school system. Surely the results of the efforts of Mr. Ray, Mr. Gifford, and Miss Dunn speak for themselves. It is htting and proper that the heartfelt thanks of Pembroke go to them! T LILLIAN M. DUNN B.S. in Ed.

For many years Miss Marguerite Kane prodded the eighth and quarter notes into our not-so-musical heads, yet kept us attuned always to the finer points of music. The graduation chorus of lovely ladies and handsome men was the pinnacle of achievement. Mrs. Vivien Soule gave us the first glimpse of European charm blended amidst the octaves. Choruses, solos, and trios helped carry away the audience at graduation in nineteen forty7nine. Now we have Mr. Ralph Chouinard! By working first with the entire chorus and then periodically with selected groups, he is blending our sundry tremors into melodious song. The Band grows and grows. Someday we will surely rival the Army's brassy corps! Progress supreme, advantages unlimited, Pembroke's music department is progressing. Delight of delight! we are to have organ music at graduation-our graduation! DIANE A. DAVIS, '50 flu ru lml I r fr IUEHS 1947 U1rr4'nfnr.w 1 Thru vlfnlrr Nl.

BARBARA IERIKSON, '50 Ushers One cool September morn in the year of our Lord 1946 a group of motley vagrants was stamping and stomping through the hallowed halls of Pembroke High School. For some little time the commotion we caused was not unlike a second stampede of the West by the buffalo herds. In due time, however, we convinced all and sundry that, having at- tained sufhcient chronological and mental age, we were the new freshman class. Perhaps our spirits were dimmed just the least bit by the hauteur evident in greetings by the upper- classmen, but the Frosh were not to be denied. After a period of indoctrination into the niceties and social amenities to be observed by high-schoolers under the direction of Mrs. Etelman, we were turned loose on an unsus- pecting student body, but not without first putting our own house in order. Strength lies in organization as the feminine element proceeded to prove in no uncertain terms! In startling fashion, girls were elected to office before the young men finally came to life. A rude revolt finally brought to office a treas- urer of the male sex. HST llli The 1950 class now laid the ground- work for making its presence felt in the ac- tivities of the school. At the Penny Carnival we had two booths, one featuring a silhouette and the other a bowling game. This was soon followed by a markedly successful St. Patrick's Day Dance. Dropping our plebian status for that of a learned fool, we ushered in our sophomore year. After we formally introduced ourselves to Miss Boornazian, her heel, and her lead mallet, we aspired to further successes. That year the Penny Carnival profited greatly when our efforts in our booth were well received. We proved to be able masters of ceremony by sponsoring an April Shower Dance which pro- vided an evening of merriment for all. A remedial, no credit course, which was given in co-operation with our English classes, offered us excellent storm-trooper training and close-order drill when we were invited out of Miss Armstrong's class into the halls. Our hats were doffed to the new Frosh when they initiated the Pembroke Mardi Gras. Our fioat was truly symbolic-the 'Jackasses Of 1950. .223 gf -r.l .K sf ' 1 7-' . I 1 Lk o. .

Lounging in the sun, gambolling on the beach, and above all, munching hot-dogs roasted over an outdoor fire-place were the orders of the day. The crowning achievement, of course, was scaven- ger hunting for appropriate beach signs with which to decorate the interior of our homes. Such talent for investigation and recon- naissance! With half the battle behind us, and perhaps a little of our brashness worn off, we entered our junior year. Mrs. Genevieve Pratt, a novice to us albeit a P.H.S. veteran, became our home-room teacher and Mr. Gor- don Pratt fno relationj became our class adviser. Now we began our gay, mad, social whirl. The junior Prom with Don Leach's orchestra providing the music proved to be the event of the year. In early February the third Hnger, right hand of each of us was to be seen prominently displaying a new ring. Other memorable events of this auspicious year . . . the-Iunior and Senior English classes, tutored by Mrs. Etelman, viewing Lawrence Olivier's and William Shakespeare's Hamlet . . . Again a float at the Mardi Gras, and a prize winner at that . . . six of our class members inducted into the National Honor Society at an in- spiring assembly. They were Mary Stroud, Shirley Holt, Diane Davis, joan Clarke, Mil- dred Pierce and Barbara Erikson.

Doing a take-off on Casey at the Bat we romped home with the prize for the most original and entertaining performance. The pennant is ours in this league since this gave us two victories in a like number of tries. The last time Stunt Nite was held our version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs took the laurels. Inflated just the least bit by our his- trionic successes we journeyed to Boston with Mrs. Etelman to view Maurice Evans and Edna Best in Double Bill. Everyone enjoyed himself immensely, both at the play and en route with our famous bus driver and guide, Red Whitmarsh. The League for Better Meals decreed that the class banquet be held at Cain's in North Weymouth where our reputations as connoisseurs of fine foods remained unsullied. We were given the velvet carpet treatment par excellence. Mais, oui! if lisi 2 'Wm 1 west... WJ 'Twas a bunch of groggy senior girls that left Diane's one morning during the February vacation following a successful pa- jama party. After an evening of playing games, eating, wrestling, eating, playing hearts, eating, making pizza, eating, a few sleepyheads tried to go to sleep. We were all kept awake till five o'clock by a series of roll calls. Five of us lasted the whole night, one went to work in the morning, quit her job, and became slightly green at the gills. More fun!!! Baccalaureate, Class Night, Graduation, Reception! just what we've been working for, for four long years, and now that they are here and within reach, there is a twinge of sadness in our hearts as we recall all the things we've done in high school that we may never do again. But even as we reminisce, we must also look toward the horizons, the horizons of our future. For it is our future for which we have made this preparation, and this prepara- tion is a step in the ladder of our lives. BARBARA ERIKSON, '50 'l22l 1 oils ? ml, lil .. if We, the Class of 1950, of Pembroke High School, 5 f in the town of Pembroke, count of Pl mouth, state of Massa- Y Y 1 chusetrs, one of these United States of America on the continent of North America, in the Western Hemisphere, being of weak I bodies and equipped with crammed heads, do hereby make, llc XO' ublish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, and Xx., Q P do hereby revoke all other wills or codicils, heretofore made by us, and do name Mrs. Idyla Etelman as executrix. George Pug Libby bequeaths to Mr. Lynch his most valuable possessions-his great gift of gab, with the ex- pectations that Mr. Lynch's classes will thereby be made more interesting and easier on the ears of the unfortunate pupils who are unaware of that which awaits them beyond the doors ofRoom 1. Diane Davis endows Anne Baird with her great leadership ability in the hopes that Anne may be as great an asset to her class as Diane has been to the Class of 1950. We feel sure Eugene Peterson will be elated to receive Paul Brennan's deep voice for all of Mrs. Etelman's radio work. May it take you great distances, Petr-at least as far as Brock- ton's WBET! Sally Goodman has given her loving heart to Mixie, which he obviously now holds, and we hope that he will continue to keep it. Will out of sight be out of heart, Sally? To Barry Eldridge is left Dick Keen's job of cheerleading. There's no doubt about it, you boys really looked sharp. But Barry! What a spot for one lone he-man with so many females! Solon Simpson concedes to Dot Belknap his exceptional driving ability. We hope it will aid Dot in getting out of the churchyards in a hurry. Stanley Winchester bequeaths his gallant manners to the all time favorite, jimmy Lundergan, who we feel will be able to make the most use of it. Sally Baltzer is the lucky recipient of Barb Erikson's basketball ability, in hopes that she may help make next year's girls' team as successful as the team of 1950. jimmy Migre awards his ready wit and humor to our one and only William Key, to add to his already abundant supply in order that he will continue to spark Mrs. Etelman's classes. joan Clarke bequeaths her North Quincy fellows to Virginia Trotta. That is, can you -will youjoan, really relinquish at least one of them-especially that ace basketball player? Mary Stroud confers her valedictory honors upon a deserving-Junior, but just where is thatjunior? Laura Smith bequeaths her literary ability, second only to-Ioan Clarke's, to Barbara Green. We regret that this comes too late to aid Barbara in writingher notes to Paul, but per- haps there will be someone else, Barb. fl23l joan Pierce is Mildred's lucky sister, for Mildred gladly gives her a few much needed credits toward graduation. Mildred also wishes the school to provide enough money with which to purchase easy chairs for the office as joan says that the present chairs sometimes become quite hard. Keep out of the oflice,joan! Forrest Hunky Saunders bequeaths to Donald Gauley his winning way with the girls, I wonder if Donald needs them! Do you? Or shall Forrest save it for his own future use? Mary Arushan wishes to leave her shorthand ability to Frankie Goodman, in hopes that he can become the whiz Mary has been. Mary says she will gladly give you private lessons, Frankie-private lessons in shorthand, we assume. joan Napolitan bequeaths her naivenessQ?j to Yvonne Griffiths. We feel certain that Yvonne will be able to make good use of it. Marylyn Honey Brennan wishes to leave her captivating smile and personality to Sally Reed, but she's not leaving Lenny to anyone!! Corinne Gould bestows her secretarial ability upon Barbarajones, but Barb, please put some control on that temper!! Dick Grifliths leaves his argumentative powers to john Osborne, who we expect will use it to create great amusement in his classes, especially English XII. Anne Merigold bestows her petiteness upon Rose Arushan. Ken Richardson grants the privilege of taking Mrs. Etelman home, to anyone who cares to hold this honorable position. Whoever this may be, we hope that he will have a vehicle that will not only run at all times, but that is properly ornate. Louise Federico awards her artistic ability to her brother joe, who we know will be more than grateful to receive it. Harold Smith leaves to Alfred Davis his ability to draw airplanes and cars during English classes and all the private privileges which go with it. Shirley Holt bestows her excellence in knitting upon Dora Swanson, but please Doris, don't let that yarn roll down that corridor during the busiest times of the day! We proudly present Mr. Gilford with a plot of land in the rear of the high school on which to start his farm and do hereby grant him the privilege of letting his cows graze upon whatever land that they may find suitable. To Mr. Pratt, our adviser, the Class of 1950 bequeaths an inexhaustable supply of chalk and rulers to aid him in teaching practical math. We never did understand how some of those problems should be solved. Last, but far from the least, we leave all the trials, tribulations, romances, committees, and much foresight for the future years to all underclassmen.

During the winter months we went on a skating party. Doris Swanson, hostess, entertained us at her home. It was a wonderful evening. Our own Robert Winchester was chosen King at the South Shore Victory dance. Thejunior Prom, its theme April Showers, was held on April 14th. The decorations were outstandingg the Starlighters, from Hanover, provided the music and it was generally agreed that our Prom was one of the most beautiful and successful dances ever held at P. H. S. Thejunior Verse Speaking Choir, organized by Mrs. Etelman, participated in several activities throughout the year. On the annual radio program at WBET in Brockton, Eugene Peterson was one of the feature readers. The entire choir is to have a prominent part at graduation this year. The annual Christmas program under the guidance of Mrs. Etelman was planned by our class. The Choir, thejunior Men and Women Singers with Soloists Elizabeth Willoughby, Marjorie Styron, and Eugene Peterson entertained in a manner long to be remembered. Inter- pretive readings by jeanne Fisher, Doris Swanson, and Madolyn Lawrence were well received. Three members of our class, jane Turner, Bernice Grows, and john Carceau are now attending other schools. Another member, joseph Arushan, left to join the service. We were pleased to welcome jean Fisher from St. Ann's Academy in Marlboro' Doris Swanson, from Avon High School, and Brant Boynton fromjamaica Plain High Schooli MAR ORIE STYRON, '51 EUG NE LASSONDE, '51 l23l SUPHUHIURES Prerizfefll . .

High achievements were made by the class in scholastics and in the various extra curricular activities. Again the ushers for the Senior Class Play were our own handsome men: Leonard Creeden, Barry Eldridge, Robert Gillette, Allan Isham, jack Watson, and William Webb. On the most wintery night of February the Sophomores went on a skating party which proved to be a big success. Yvonne Griffiths served as hostess. Our project for Stunt Night was a pantomime entitled Princess Non Such. Although it didn't prove to be the best stunt, the class enjoyed preparing and presenting it.

Everyone joined enthusiastically in the basketball intra- murals and the class rated high in the final standings. Our class conducted a successful drive in the early part of the year to obtain toys for under-privileged children as Christmas presents. Our class, conjuring with our adviser, designed a spectacular feat for Stunt Night, at least we thought so! The highest honors bestowed on our class was the winning of Red and White Week, the prize being a party held in the cafeteria. The class sponsored their first affair, The Freshman Barn Party, early in the Spring. This big event was very enjoyable to everyone else and satisfy- ing to us. All these exciting events in the school year added up to the belief that going to school can be fun.

The whole-hearted support of the class combined to make our Minstrel Show for Stunt Night one glorious adventure. No one enjoyed the songs, specialties, and end- men funnies any more than we did. Grease paint is now very much a part of us. What fun to be Seventh Graders! SYLVIA FLYNN, '55 1321 eww W K uTI1ou3l1'H1isJJe Madness, y in 'there is Mefhocl in if. fx 'P 4 Frnnl Rau-: P. f'oH,y. li.

STUDENT UUUHCIL The Student Council has proved itself to be a responsible organization of the school, having sponsored several successful school projects. The newly initiated monitors have elimi- nated the periodical stop-gaps in corridor passing. Red and White week brought out the best behavior and dress of the school, much to the delight of all, and especially to the Freshmen who won and were rewarded with a party. The one task of the Student Council which we enjoyed most was the maintainance of the Student Suggestion Box. We tried to comply with all logical suggestions, but such requests as no homework and school three days a week would be difficult to arrange! One of our main goals was reached, that of compiling a Student Handbook. After incorporating the work of previous student councils and the more recent requirements, the guide for students will be distributed next year. It is with a sense of accomplishment that the Student Council under the direction of Mr. Lynch closes the meeting room door for another year. OM QU NOW P fexident . Vice P refidwzt Sefrem 1' y .

VERSE SPEHHIHG CHUIR For u'e are the zzzmic fmzkerx A1111 zu' are tba' n'f'm1l1w'.r 0 f ffretz121.i'. During the past year the Verse Speaking Choir, organized but a year ago by Mrs. litelman, has grown both in membership and in prominence. The senior participants were pleased to welcome the junior group, which made its debut at the senior Christmas Party. The choir has been very active in both school and public programs. Several performances before the Parent-Teacher Association, one before the Pembroke Grange, one at the Book Fair, and another at the Christmas party marked the year's work prior to Graduation injune. For the third consecutive year Pembroke High School presented over station WBET in Brockton A Half Hour of the Magic of Poetry. This year for the first time the feature readers on the stirring program which was devoted to the life and times of Abraham Lincoln were assisted by members of the Verse Speaking Choir. Paul Brennan, Kenneth Richardson, llugene Peterson, Diane Davis, and Shirley Holt were the soloists to interpret the poetry Abra- ham Lincoln Wzllks at Midnight by Vachel Lindsay, The Creation by ames Wfeldon lidwin Markhamg Anne Rutledge by Edgar Lee Mastersg When Lilacs Last in the Door- yard Bloom'd by Wzllt Wliitinang and Broth- erhood by lidwin Markham. The program was originated and arranged by Mrs. lftelman. The accompanying music was chosen and played by Mr. Ralph Chouinard, Supervisor of Music. And now it is our desire to thank Mrs. litelman for introducing to us an activity which has given so much pleasure and a better understanding of poetry. Her untiring work and efforts in directing us is very much ap- preciated. SHIRLEY HOLT, '50 LIBHHRU Fran! Ifmr: Xl. lhlslilmrn Nl lisiwrx-lu'i'. J. Weil, D. Davis, Nl. blrourl. -l. Uslmrlw, Y.

Etelman Oflicers for the current year were elected injune of 1949, and the new term was in- augurated by moving the library to the new outer office, where during the day Miss Evelyn Whitaker '48, secretary to Mr. Gifford, is in charge. She is assisted by the club members, and the newly devised plan is working out very well. The Book Fair, again sponsored by the P.T.A. and with Mrs. Carl Etelman, Library Club adviser as chairman of the project, was praised highly by Dorothy Dale of WBIET radio note in her editorial in the B7'0t'kf0lI Ifzzlerprife of November 16. 1949: This year with the whole community backing it to the hilt it was some affair . . . thousands of books were on display, they fthe P.T.A. women workers and Library Club membersj arranged them attractively and conveniently according to subjects in booths set about the spacious floor of the gym . . . and this is the part that impressed me fthey saw to it that the childrene-all ages from the first grade to the seniors in High School, had a part in the CLUB affair. . . High school pupils were taught all the elements of servicing and explain- ing the books and were in charge of the booths. Little tikes were given special hours to browse from booth to booth, ask about the books, look them over, and they even carried pencil and paper with them to take notes and tell their folks about them later. ln early December, the club invited friends, teachers, and parents to a Christmas Tea and Book Review, which was held in the Home Economics Living Room, attractively decorated with Christmas appointments. Mrs. Chester Ray and Mrs.john Gifford poured. A most appreciative audience enjoyed the reviews given with professional poise and efficiency by Mary Stroud, who discussed The Way Watt by A. B. Guthrieg Shirley Holt, who delightfully presented the story of Tfau Afiitzz of Afbvrt Srbzlmfitzw' by Charlesjoy and Melvin Arnold, Diane Davis vividly told of the struggle of man against man, and man against himself as portrayed in the book Lim' Willa lsigbrzzirzg by Mitchell Wilson. Though the club is yet in its infancy, it has come to be recognized as an important group in the life of the school and for so making it, I wish to express my thanks to each and everyone for his co-operation and sincere interest.

HHTIUHHL HUHUH SUUIETU The National Honor Society as it exists in secondary schools today was founded in 1921 and it was the proud purpose ofthe founders that the organization be flexible and readily adaptable to the policies of local administration of the individual school, within the principles ofthe stated standards of the society. Four years ago a chapter of the organization was established at Pembroke High School at an impressive ceremony of induction. The present members were inducted at an appropriate assembly held late in April, 1949. The chosen students met the high standards of scholarship, character, leadership, and service, qualities necessary to be admitted to the Society. The National Honor Society endeavors to create a desire for growth toward higher ideals, a devotion toward duty, and a hope of developing well-balanced personalitiesg so that, as citizens the elected members will exercise an uplifting influence on those with whom they come in contact. It is noteworthy to state here that all members except one of the present group are on their way to higher educational goals. JOAN CLARKE, '50 41381- Frau! lfuu-: li. Gills-Hi-, Miss Brooks.

HTHLETIC HSSUCIHTIUH Under the able direction of Mr. james Lynch, faculty manager of athletics, Mr. Gor- don Pratt and Mrs. Ruth Cote, coaches, the Association spent a busy year securing funds to up- hold and develop the athletic program of the school. The sale of colorful red and white Trojan T-shirts, jerseys, sweatshirts and bandanas helped fill the coffers of the athletic fund. On election day a very successful tag day was held and another goodly sum was realized. The project which really topped off the fund-raising was Stunt Night. All the classes participated, but the Seniors won with their portrayal of Casey at the Bat. The talent displayed by the seventh grade portends many successful dramatic events to come during that group's stay in the school. The initial South Shore Victory Dance, sponsored by the Cheerleaders in co-operation with the girls' basketball team, was more than a success in every way. Many students from Kingston and Duxbury came to dance and to vote for King and Queen of the South Shore League. The highlight of the dance was the crowning of Robert Winchester and Barbara Erikson fPem- brokej as King and Queen. Sally Goodman and George Libby did a fine job with their assignment of selling tickets at the basketball games. Our appreciation goes to them and to the girls of the Home Economics classes who made and sold candy for us. Thank youwall of you-for our successful year!

Because the teams showed a determined and enthusiastic spirit and the townspeople co-operated wholeheartedly, cheering was a pleasure. Certain incidents, some amusing, others less humorous. stand out. Surprised indeed was Mr. Lynch one cold, grey morning to behold the arrival ofthe cheerleaders ready to embark for the trip to Boston along with the boys' team. No transportation for the girls had been ar- ranged! liven more embarrassing was the little trick played when we attempted to introduce the cheer: Snickity Rickity, Rickety Rack, We're the team that never falls back! Were the people, we're the stuff. Were from Pembroke' that's enough! Lo and behold! there we were ffwith our backs toward the audience! In due time we perfected the turn. To those who supported us, encouraged us, and advised us, we are very grateful. lispecially do we wish to thank the girls' basketball squad who cheered us at the last home game. Thank you all for making the season just a joyous one! DIANE DAVIS, 'so HZ i v l runI li'ou': Coat-lr G. l'r:tll. R. Urillillis, P. llreunan. ll. Wim-liesler, J. El0lll'l'lL'0, R. Gillette. J.

BUUS' SUCCEH Pembroke once again lielded a formidable soccer team for its abbreviated four game schedule. Coach Gordon Pratt encouraged greater interest in the game locally and it is sincerely hoped that next season we may enjoy a more extensive program. The team consisted ofa speedy and aggressive front line, composed of Don Gauley at center, Bob Winchester and Lenny Willett as inners and Hunky Saunders and Paul Brennan as outers. Charles Mix. Eugene Peterson, and joe Federico in the half-back position, and Bob Gillette and Lenny Creeden at full-back aided in preventing the onrushing opponents from sending the ball between the posts, which were guarded by Dick Grilliths. Kingston High journeyed to Pembroke, with only conndence and the willingness to learn. When they arrived their knowledge of the game was such that our boys had to teach them even the most fundamental of plays. Desiring greater competition, the boys challenged the girls to a game, only to have the soccer team's over-anxious half-back become so distracted by the opposition that he failed to keep his eyes on the ball, and unexpectedly found his face in the dirt. Chagrined by their crashing defeat. the girls asked the boys to play them at their own game field hockey. Here, the boys showed their extreme versatility by emerging overwhelm- ingly victorious despite the fact that they were playing this game for the first time.

Never was there a dull moment during the season. We worked hard, we played hard, and we had fun, The backing we received from the townspeople was just wonderful, and especially we appreciated the tangible evidence of that interest our new uniforms.

BUUS' BHSHEIBHII To the stars through ditlicultyn may well be the slogan which Pembroke followed during the past season. Despite the broken-down bus en route to the-Jamboree at Plymouth, we did not lose our courage and went on fin private carsj to win by defeating Cohasset, 28-16. Thus began a season which was on the disastrous side as far as scores went, but one which showed the Hght and courage ofa team that will go on to the stars since only three squad members will leave at graduation: Richard Grifliths, Forrest Saunders, and Paul Brennan. In the final game of the season we gave the champion Duxbury team a scare for they won from us by only three points. Again the team wishes to express its gratitude to its respected and admired coach, Gordon Pratt, whose faith in the team is inspirational.

The first of our games ended in a tie. All the games will be played away, for the condition of our baseball field is such that many accidents could occur. It is hoped that before another season rolls around, we will have a good baseball diamond.

Ours-yours and mine! Long after we have gone our separate ways, memories vague yet poignant, will blur, then Hash across our minds. Memories of times shared with those at school-ordinary events, which in retrospect take on rosy hues, drift from that unfathombale closet of yesterday into our today-whenever that be! These are gems to be treasured. Can you feel again, as I do, the intensity of excitement during those keen basketball days, the anticipation of coming events, the laughter and thrills on trips away from daily school routine? All seem to spring alive, to live anew with increased poignancy. Can you, as I do now, feel the glow of commonplace incidents of school life: the dash through the corridors, the hurtle down to lunch, the strange and unexpected commercials over the loud-speaker, the shrieking cheers at the intramurals, the woes and wails at test results, the assurance that all is well upon receipt of the acceptance of that long-looked-for letter from college. And at last graduation! As part of the chorus, each graduation had seemed in a small 'way to be ours, but now, it really belongs to us-you and me! The time is here-these, our day, when we begin again to build a new structure of a way of life to be filled with more memories of our going forward toward our aim success our hope to win. DIANE A. DAVIS, '50 THE STORY OF THE GURNEY SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD Early in 1947 there came forward a man in Pembroke who sought a means by which he might encourage and inspire the youth at Pembroke High School. That man was Reg Gurney, a figure familiar to all of us at practically every school sponsored event. Mr. Gurney had always been interested in boys and girls, and he wished to bring close to their minds the values which make them into good citizens. He felt that ifa boy or girl had the mental and physi' cal qualities necessary to win an award which he intended to set up, a tangible recognition of these qualities would prove of much aid to encourage the youth of our town. And so with the values of quality leadership, courtesy, ability, co-operation, integrity, and reliability in mind, Mr. Gurney established the Gurney Sportsmanship Award. At the end of the school year the boy and the girl who best measure up to the rigid standards indicated above are presented one hundred dollars each and an appropriate trophy at graduation exercises injune. In addition, the winner's name is inscribed on the bronze plaque which is located on the wall in the main corridor near the front entrance of the High School. To further encourage the student body, the policy has been adopted that only once may any one person win the award during his or her four years at the High School. Since this is one of the most coveted prizes given out at graduation, early in the spring each year the buzzing begins as to who will be the winners! And so ends the story of a man's vision for the future-good citizens! Thank you, Reg Gurney! ALLAN ISHAM, '52 I-53 lt TRUE WEALTH Queen am I of all that I survey: The singing birds, the moonlit groves are mine, The distant hills, the meadows sweet with bay- I am the owner of that cloud, that pine! As I wander thro' the world and feast my sight: Glory in the water meeting with the shore, The breaking waves, the seagulls circling Hight- All these are mine, all these and many more! Oh, these are things that money cannot buy! My pocket, may be empty, but my heart is free! My soul filled with love of earth and sky- Mine, all mine, is the beauty my eyes do see! BARBARA JONES, '51 MOONLIGHT WALK Last night as on my bed I lay, The moon it beckoned me. The bright, bright beams all seemed to say, I want to play with thee! Outside the world in splendor lay, As I walked o'er hill and field, And held so close this glim'ring ray That in my heart was sealed. FRANKLIN GOODMAN, '51 LITTLE PUFF Little Puff, the family cat Rolls upon the welcome mat- He's full of fuzzy fuzzy fur, But, oh, how he does like to purr When his head I stroke and pat! He's just the cutest little thing When chasing after balls of string! He paws at this and paws at that, My fuzzy wuzzy little cat. LIFE If you wish and live it so: Life will be a silver bell, Ringing over hill and dell, Chiming notes of love and cheer, And happiness throughout the year! CHARLOTTE MATTHEWS, '53 OUR TREE Strings of gay electric lights Do hang upon our tree To make a sparkling sight For children all to see. The mellow light of candles small Like stars in darkest night A magic spell cast over all Their soft celestial light. ANNE MERIGOLD, '50 CHRISTMAS TIME Everyone feels the magic glory, As is read the wonderful story. When angel voices hail His birth In bringing joy to us on earth. May happiness and pleasures last Long after Christmas time has passed. May all that hear, help spread this year The glow and warmth of Christmas cheer. PAUL BRENNAN, '50 PEACE ON EARTH Life is bubbling to the brim, And yet his eyes with tears are dim, Man hopes and prays the time may come When peace will reign for everyone, That God will be our guiding light, For Time is passing in Man's fight, As darkness shadows much the earth Man murmurs, Is this my right of birth? MARY ARUSHAN, '50 I NEVER DARE TO WRITE I never dare to write 'Cause I'm afraid the pen will bite! BARBARA STYRON, '54 ROSE ARUSHAN, '53 i541- SCHOL AR SHI PS Where else but in America do students have a chance to get a college education free? Only in a democracy such as the one in which we live. Pembroke is certainly lucky to be a part of such a democracy, for qualified students here have opportunities to receive scholarships and additional financial aid through loans. First and foremost of the scholarships available to Pembroke students is that given by the Parent Teachers Association. In 1935, for the first time, one hundred dollars was pre- sented to the student whose scholastic standing, depth of intellectual interest, and leadership was outstanding. At the present time the organization gives two hundred dollars annually. In june of 1948 a fifty dollar scholarsh'p was presented for the first time by the Pembroke Teachers' Club. The scholarship was awarded on the basis of character, citizenship, participation in extra-curricular activities, scholarship and need. This award need not be spent for tuition, nor is it necessary to enroll at a four year college in order to receive it. Two years ago the Pembroke Grange presented a sum of money which was to be awarded to that student who had excelled in the literary field in school. This year The House and Community Service Committee of the Grange plans again to make a scholarship award to a deserving senior who plans to continue his education and has been accepted at a college. One other scholarship was given at graduation june, 1949, but the donors wished to remain anonymous. The recipient of this was one who exemplified the best in all phases of academic achievement and extra-curricular activities during his entire school career. Injune, 1948, that graduation class laid the ground work for the organization of an Alumni Association which would annually sponsor a scholarship by giving from its class funds the sum of fifty dollars toward that project. This beginning was continued by the class of 1949 which also left a sum of money toward a permanent scholarship fund. These humble beginnings are the foundation upon which the present energetic Alumni Association is building-and plans are to make the award an annual graduation event so that a worthy, needy student may have the necessary help to further his education. In 1889 Edward Y. Perry of Hanson, in his will, made a bequest of money to be maintained perpetually as a loan fund for the aged needing assistance. The provision was also made that financial aid be made available to students who are to go on to higher educational institutions from Hanson, Hanover, and Pembroke. The amount which any one student may receive in one school year is limited to one hundred dollars, but he may receive this help during his college career, providing he needs the aid and is worthy of it. And so ends the story of scholarships in our little town of Pembroke. Who knows but what another year more will become available! A college education free? Where else but in these United States of America! JACK WATSON, '52 WHEN JOYCIE WIPES THE DISHES Joyce dances and sings, It takes her hours, And sighs and wishes, Then when she's through, Does everything else, It's almost time Except-the dishes! To start anew! DIANE BISHOP, '55 -i55 I THROUGH THE TOWN Mary sat by the frosty window in the corner and stared out listlessly at the gleaming white snow on the road. She heard Tom get up and go to the stove, but she made no move to help him. All this lonely tired woman could think about on this Christmas Eve was her only son, jim, whom she had loved more than anything else in the world, and whose life had been taken in the last war. She kept asking herself how could Tom possibly go to church without jim, jim who was now lying under a gravestone in the cold desolate snow. Tom had pleaded with her all day long to go to church, saying that-jim would have liked to have her there on Christmas Eve, but she just couldn't hear him. No, she just couldn't make herself go to church to face the inquisitive eyes of all her friends. She had tried to tell Tom how apart she felt from all the people in town and how like a stranger she must seem to them. Mary sat up in the rocker as Clara Williams and some fool young man went by. Clara had beenjim's sweetheart before he went away. Mary had never liked her and had always told jim that he could not possibly have any future happiness with her. As Mary was sitting in the chair she cringed with jealousy. That girl had had her son's affections! More ofjim's former friends went by laughingg none seemed to notice the forlorn woman sitting lonely in a window. Mary heard. the door slam as Tom went out, and she saw his heavy, hunched figure drag slowly down the street. Suddenly her heart was filled with pity for her husband that he should, in his awkward way, still want to understand and comfort her. But her compassionate mood left her quickly and again she was feeling sorry for herself. She had to live in a world so full of unhappiness. She little realized that in order for anyone to be happy he must, himself, make things right. Suddenly the room seemed to stifle Mary and she hurried to be out in the cool brisk air. She walked through the street gazing at the cheerful homes whose gay lights seemed to wink at her. She walked toward the small cemetery, passed through the creaking gate and sat down on a marble seat, so cold that she shivered. She sat, sat and stared at her son's gravestone until tears so long pent up inside, were released and slowly trickled down her wrinkled face. She heard the gate click. A step approached her, but she couldn't stop her weeping. A man's voice was saying, Go ahead and have it out, honey! It will do you good! Tom put his arm around her. 'jim wouldn't have liked to see you this way. You've been think- ing too much and blaming yourrself for something for which you weren't responsible. Mary raised her face, Oh! Tom, I see it all so clearly now. I have been letting my love for-Jim consume me and have shut my eyes to you and all the comfort and happiness you have given me. But, I see now, Tom, and I'll never shut my eyes again! Mary, we will be happy, you and I, and our lives are just starting. Come to church, won't you? I'm coming, Tom! Mary put her willing hand into the big one of her husband and together they walked out of the cemetery on their happy Christmas Eve. ANN BAIRD, '53 'l-56 l' LETTERS TO SANTA Letters to Santa in black and white, Written in bed with much delight, Crossed out words and blotches of ink, Asking for baby dolls all dressed in pink, Cowboy suits, spurs, boots and a gun, And candy enough for everyone! Letters to Santa of Yuletide joys, From adolescent girls and boys, Watches, rings, and a ball point pen, To be under the Christmas tree in the den, Everyone happy that joyous day, Those letters urge Santa Claus to ride their way. CHARLOTTE MATHEWS, '53 RETURN OF CHRISTMAS When holly wreaths hang on our door And lights are everywhere, It seems we could not ask for more Such joy, for goodwill is here and there. When Christmas trees are set aglow In each and every home We thrill anew for well we know This season we'll not roam. When this bright time comes back again We have the joy of giving Peace fills our hearts and we find then We've learned the way of living! AND NOT A VIOLIN When I was just a tiny girl I thought I'd like a fiddle, But Mother said they were so large And I was just too little! But two more years I grew to be A youngster, just turned ten My Dad gave me, on my birthday, A lovely violin! I pulled the bow across the strings To see if it would play- From off-key sounds that did come forth Soon learned I-that's not the way! Oh well, I tugged and tugged and toyed with it, Pulling bow 'cross strings and then I realized that I wanted fun, And not a violin! BARBARA STYRON, '54 WINTER The leaves have fallen off the trees, The shrubs are turning brown, And soon the snow will gently fall, To cover the ground. All the birds are flying south All the trees are bare And all the flowers have gone to bed, To spend the winter there.

Eugene Larro nde BE MERICFUL Some say that the world today is full of errors. Wfho makes them? The people in it? These are good questions for someone to answer. But what does being merciful mean? That is a question I'm attempting to answer. It is something more than being kind, than helping people. It is a feeling-intangible yet defi- nite' deep down inside of you. Everyone has it some time or otherg everyone has that feeling of mercy, mercy for mankind. When you see someone injured you have the desire to aid him and you help him. In a way this is being merciful. But actually there is more to it than just that. For instance did you ever stop to think about the something mean you said to a particular person? Was this a kind or merciful act? I doubt it. That's an example of not being merciful. You probably don't realize it, but every unkind act you commit, every unkind remark you make to someone. you have lost the good feeling of mercy. Life is too short for that! In- stead, spend time in making for the happiness of others. Every time you turn around oppor- tunities for kindnesses present themselves to you-things you never before thought of doing. Being merciful has many meanings. Find what it means for you and to you! Others will be happierg you'll be happier. Perhaps then some will say the world is full of mercy!
