We hear it used I .-. ,.. on radio broadcasts and see it in print in our magazines and ncwspaners. It means using wisely rather than not at all. We are practicing this in school with .vregardi ,to school sunplies. The reason we are not usin5V ith sQges of the paper in this issue is that the paper was pur- chased before the present shortage and is not of suffi- cient thickness.

Hovcver, if our time is so spent that we find no benefit socially,msntally, financially, or phys- ically, maybe we are wasting it. Benjamin Franklin did I much for his country.

SIR ROGER AT THE SATURDAY NIGHT DANCE It was on the evening of January the third that Sir Roger entered the Petershan Town Nall. He bought his tio- ket and walked to the entrance of the dance hall. On seeing a young lady sitting alone he asked ifi 5 he might have the pleasure :if the dance. It was an old fashioned one and Sir Roger enjoyed himselt to the GHG- In fact, when the music stopped, he kept right on ed ging his partner around the hall,afterwards telling eVeryOH9 that t he dance was much too short. Everyone just stared in astonishment.Not many people really knew who he was but they were very much surprised at this old gentleman. Soon the music started up again and,unlike most peo- ple at the dances, he walked way across the dance floor to ask a girl to dance with him. Now usually on Saturday nights everyone dances and has a wonderful timer without being bashful or shy, but tonight everyone seemed to hold backxiot because anyone was shy but because they all wished to watch Sir Roger dance. He was a slight bit awk- ward dancing but he didn't mind that at all. He just for- got himself entirely in his enjoyment of everything. Once, when he noticed that the people were not dance ing, he stopped in the middle of the floor and called out for everyone to come along and dance. , Soon everyone joined and began having a 'wonderful time dancing and talking with Sir Roger. Everyone wanted to dance with him and everyone who did was very proud of the fact. Whenever he'noticed someone who he thought wasn't having a good time, he went to him and talked him cut, of his gloom. When intermission came he ordered sodas for everyone who was near the soda fountain, then visited many people during part of the recess. However, he was very impatient and couldnit wait for the music to begin. He kept walking up and down the stairs, hoping that enough couples would come in so that he wouldn't have to wait any longer, Returning, he paced theifloor,counting the minutes until the music 'struck upn age n, At the end of the dance he stood beside the orchestra, thanking the people for the wonderful time he had had, also complimenting the orchestra on,their fine musine ' Annie Mitchell 'u2 '5IR RUGER'S DINNER ENGAGEMENT Of his dinner engagement with a i 1 1 f the North side Sir Roger gives a brie?O3SZ2riptY0g?W mo -.Ana.4.L,L4r...m..1....Hs.L1aLmsH.As.:4. man'-Shear: . :L.12.-.2ai:.LK1.'AZ'-sr.:ffns.lnz4n.92.lL.......:.nnLQla.4s.- - uHaving called for my friend and finding her not ready, the maid saying that her mistress would be down within five minutes, I was shown into the library and commenced to wait the five rinutes with a glad heart. Of course, as usual, the five proved to be fifteen, but fin- ally my companion descended, and I must give her credit for applying only the amount of glamorizing materials as bofits a woman of her years. WHaving directed my chauffeur to a fashionable cafe of which I had heard spoken, we were immediately trans- ported there. Being relieved of our wraps at the check doon we then entered the gaily-dressed throng and soon settled ourselves at a well-positioned table. After or- dering a dinner. which any member of elite society knows to be delicious but not at all digest ble, we turned our attention to the orchestra. Uwe both determined that the group was a fine one and that the members followed every cue from the direc- tor's baton. We also admired the courage and zest with which they attacked the uncouth utterances of jazz. How the pianist kept from crashing completely through the piano, how the trumpeter kept in contact with his instru- ment, and how the drummer managed to make so many and so varied thuds and crashings became a mad whirl to me. Great relief was felt on my part when a waltz tempo was struck and we moved out over the floor. Wwhile returning home at the scandalously early hour of twelve, we both reached the conclusion that people should not forget their age but live within its bounds.n Frederick Snow 'b2 HSHING A fisherman I am - by Joel My pole is my best friend, you know.

He had borrowed his mctner's bread board to use when he had to write. Ho first get his history out and started thumbing through the pages, trying to remenbcrxvhat the assignment was. However, the search'was in vaing so he reached for the telephone, which was very handy, and called a friend. Ho talked to his friend for fully twenty minutes. Then Hb finally rang off and started reading his history. After reading steadily for five minutes he happened to glance at the clock. Oh dear, he had missed half that jam session he always listened to! Well, he thought, half a program is better than noneg so on went the radio--full blast.

He thought he had done a fairly good job and decided to look then over, only to find that each picture was on the wrong page. Now instead of having just three pictures to draw he had to rip out the pages he had spoiled and write each experiment over.

Many a Friday after- noon have I seen the faces of the NFroshW watching me very intently. I HAVE often wondered what made t em so anxious to get out of school. Possibly a date, who knowa? In the year 1939 I noticed a.group of seventeen boys and girls come in to the room very timidly. They all were trying to be last. I couldn't help but laugh and I laugh- ed so hard the door on my front flew open. These new Fre- shmen were very scared and every one of them wanted a back seat. All the Freshmen, except one little fellow,NHerbieW Lamb he was called, headed for the back seats. The lofty Juniors hadn't arrived as yetg so no help came from that quarter. Mr. Arnold, the best teacher in any high school, soon reminded them that the front seats were for the WFroshY Also he gave them a pencil, for good behavior, he after ward remarked.

I thought I would visit his to see if he could help me in building of my addition. I get into my autonebile and went to sec the editor of the newspaper. I found that the-eman's name was Mr. Arthur Arts. I get gis address .and was startled to find out that he lived on a mountain just outside of town, where no man yet tr syasscd. I wondered if I dared to see him, but finally made up my mind to do so. I had almost reached his hone on the mountain, when suddenly a curve camo out of nowhere. what I saw beyond The most facing mc, that turn was breatht with a fence around it stood and admired it.

But as soon as I stepped the motor, the animals npyearcd. The only way was to drive up to his gate and get out there. So I did. You could never have guessed new happy I was to see that gate shut behind me. . Once again I admired this beautiful castle, We were about to go into the house and have a talk, when Hr, Arts fell at my feet. I picked him up and carried him.into'dm house. , When I saw the inside of that house I almost dropped him. Finally I .was dead! What because of 'the animals.

' ' I walked back and forth for one week, calling the police and asking for help, but none came. ' On the eighth day I heard a terrific noise and then a terrible crash that shook the house. I looked out of the window to see a plane wrecked between the house and the gate.

Alas! The day came when we, the Freshn men, were to be initiated. All of us were told to make bracelets and necklaces of vegetables and to carry dolls with us all day. Signs worn by us. were made by the Sophomores and At noon time wc had to escort the teachers tg lunch and then we had to eat with each other. Everyone had to do just what the Sophomores said, so we ran around and a- round the school house and had a tug-of-war. They put hair tonic, shaving cream and shampoo in our hair and made us wear stars on our faces. In the evening we were dressed in costumes and than had to march out to the gym., We had Chinese Coolies, a soldier, a Scetehman, a can of gasoline, Black Sambo, a dunce, the Andrew Sisters, and Amos and Andy. We all had to act very foolish but were rewarded by ice-cream and dancing afterwards. : The Senior Dance The annual Senior Dance was held on Tuesday evening, November 16, The hall was decorated with fall colors. A corn stoop placed on each :ide of the stage, with pump-. kins arranged about each, gave an effect of harvest time, which was indeed very colcrful. The music was supplied by Goodnowls Orchestra and the refreshments were sold by several of the seniors. A large attendance helped to make a very successful evening. The Senior Play Cn December 5, the Senior class produced the rather hilarious and exciting mystery play, HThe Red Spidern. The action took place in a southern mountain rest resort. The plot revolved about a dangerous scoundrel who seemed to delight in writing notes signed HThc Red Spidern, throwing knives, and'ethcrwise frightening innocent, and sometimes hysterical, women. Complications were finally unwoven when one of the characters was shocked out of his amnesia by a revolver report. Three supposedly native mountaineers and several people playing detective furnh r- ed an element of mystery, while a negro cook supplied up- roarious mirth throughout. Members of the senior class acted as production and business staffs. The cast was as follows: Valerie HcHarge, the De Ralph Graves, newspaper Dr. McHarge, proprietor ter's daughter,. .Claire Coolidge reporter,. . . . . .

A certain jovial anl gensfomsiy-proportioned senior played very well the role of Santa Claus, and everyone had a very good time, ' Inspector Knowlton January 19, Inspector Knowlton gave an interestingi lk and showed some movies about safety. He said that -bicycles should be in good condition at all times and driven accord- ing to traffic rules. People should walk on the left sidecf the road. The Ledgeville school attended the safety talk also. The Indian Lady On Larch h,'we all went out to the Gymnasium to be en- tertained by a woman, Miss Inez Barrington, who lived with the Indians for five years. She showed us pictures of the different tribes of Indians all over the country. Thenvw all learned to talk with our hands as the Indians do. Last of all came the Indian dancing. Some of the girls and boysumre selected and she showed them how to dance in Indian fashion, while she played her Indian tom-tom. They were all dressed with bright colored feathers. Kenneth Richards, the tallest one in school, was the leader of the dance and everyone that took part did very well. Preliminary Spelling Bee rch 29 Peter 1 m Hi h School had the annual Pre On.1a .. .,, Q sta g. - - liminary Spelling Bee whicf 'i'. was a great success in the opin- ion of the Juniors.

The hall was beautifully decorated with maroon and gcld trimr mings and stars hanging from the ceiling. Also we had pictures of all Juniors when they were Freshmen and as they are today. These pictures were drawn by the Art Class under the supervision of Miss Ansden. Lawn chairs were in the corners, with a background of spruce tree branches which decorated the stage and trelliscs. On these trellises were forsythius. There was a spot light shining on a large U45n on the stage. Amber lights were used during certain dances. The dance began at 8:00 and lasted until 12:00. We all had a wonderful time dancing to Old Fashioneds, Waltzes, and Fox Trcts played by Goodnow's Orchestra. The grand march started at 9:00 and was led by George Barnes, president and Phyllis Bates, vice-president. The girls looked lovely in their evening gowns and the boys looked nice too. Refreshments, which were on sale throughout the dance, consisted of ice-cream and sodas. Final Spelling Doo On Tuesday, Hay 19, the final spelling boo for the three prizes sponsored by the Herriam Publishing Company of Springfield was held. First place was taken by William Warrington, second by Annie hitchcll and third by Herbert Lamb. Chanfes In Faeultf .J During the past year several changes were made in the members of the faculty. At the beginning of the year Mr. Nickerson was found supplanting Mr. Johnson as Prin- cipal of the Grammar School and coach of 'dmsboygr bas- ketball team. Later Liss Cooper left to become Urs. Johnson and Miss Hartley took up the duties of Home Eco- nomics, History and English teacher. Shortly after the Christmas recess Miss Delaney entered as Commercial and English teacher to fill the position left by Miss Horton who went to Southbridge. 'Only a short time age Kr. Nick- erson was required to enter the armed forces being fol- lowed by Miss Hall. It also must be mentioned that Hrs.

The Princeton teams serv- ed the Petcrsham girls and boys cocoa and sandwiches aftertixar gamesg we also served them refreshments when they played here. This year we were fortunate in having Miss Hartley as our coach. She was very firm with our practices and we believe dw results' show proof of that. ' Our high scorer this year was Evelyn Mitchell, who had a total of 121 points. Our guards--two veterans, Barbara Gillis, and Dorothy Preble, and Barbara Bryant, who had playmda little before this year--did their part well. The subs--Doris Nelson, Florence Hay Cooley, and June Murcell--we hope to see on the main team soon. We are fortunate in expecting all of these players back with us next year, although we will surely miss Captain Claire Coolidge and also former Captain Annie Mitchell The two cheerleaders, Phyllis Mitchell and Phyllis Harper looked very snappy in their new outfits of gold sweaters and maroon skirts, made by the sewing class. I'm sure youfll all agree that they did their part in the games. . la, L1 ml' .Y x y x, QE. A 47 Y ,. 5, mn I J 1 p l ,F xx -A ' w - '-' ' ' ' ,-I w , ., : .ei 5 S An..

A , rv -' Elf f1EE5fXl.L In the spring of 1941 Petcrsham High School baseball team had a very successful season. They stdrtcd the canada eff by defeating Brookfield 5 to 2. .It was a very good game and all the substitutes get a chance to play. ' On May l3th the team traveled to Belchertown only to emerge with a score of load in our favor. In that excit- ing game Joe Avery, our pitcher, had L5 strikeouts chalk- ed up to him and Donald Uphan 2 three base hits. On May 202h the Petcrsham High School team .took over New Salem Acadzmy 15-2, A very good game in which every one get a chance to play. May 27th found New Salem Academy on our own diamond only to go home defeated. Score: Petersham 8 N. 5. A. 6. May 29th the team traveled to Northfield, and in the ensuing game emerged still undefeated. Score: 9-5 Peters- hanlo ' The last and best game of the season was played on our own diamond on June oth. The game was very close all the way thzough and after 9 innings had been played in- stead of the regular 7, the score was still lOhlO. The game would have been played until one or the other team won, but because it was the night of the exhibition and it was already late, the game was called: Petcrsham 10, Bclchertown 10. Petersham was undefeated that season. E1A5K.E'I'BALL. The Pctersham High Hoop Squad had a very successful season this year. Although at the beginning of the season they lost two games in succession. They went on to victory in almost all the rest of the games. The forwards did very well as regards to scoring, but we must give credit to the splendid work the guards did. You mus'nt forget, the guards are just as important as the forwards. The only difference is: they save the game in- stead of winnvng it. The substitutes who played this season showed great promises for next years games. The boy'. squad will badly miss the graduates when basketball season rolls around again because the seniors made up the whale first team, but the boys that are left feel that although they might not be just as good as these gone by, they are confident that they can take over and do just as good a job.
