He has given several public demon- strations heretofore, and now plans a recital tour. He played Tschaikowsky, Schumann, Bach, Handel, Schubert, Raphael, and others, utilizing four instruments and instrumentalists in combina- tion and separately. Facing an instrument which resembles a radio receiving set, Professor Theremin makes passes with his hands and evokes music on his higher-pitched instrument corresponding in tone to that pro- duced by the violin. Here for the first time we have an instrument for the making of music without the usual accessories of strings, horsehair, reeds, and the like. Professor Theremin states that it is comparatively easy to play. One wonders what influence on the musical world these instru- ments would have if they were manufactured a la Ford at reason- able prices. Would they tend to displace such instruments as the violin? In order to play upon the average instrument, particularly upon the violin, the player must expend hours and hours upon technic. This has been the Water- loo of thousands who have essayed to explore the musical seas. If this obstacle could be removed, if the reformer could express his crav- ing for music at once, what would be the result? It would seem that such an in- strument would find a ready sale. The modern trend is to make the acquisition of knowledge and skill as painless as possible. We have always felt that, for music to have a real meaning to people, they should participate in making it, thereby exercising the ego. One of the reasons for the wide-spread use of the automobile is the fact that anyone can learn to drive one. And that much of the pleasure of riding is in driving cannot be de- nied. Therefore an instrument that anyone can play upon might prove a boon to music. H. BEAUREGARD '30 CROWDS At the fashionable resorts, one sees them, eager, restless people in search of that intangible thing, Pleasure. With their faultless speech, impeccable dress, and lux- urious environment, they aptly typify the often-scorned yet in- fluential wealthy class. Crowds of them, ineffective and selfish. They throng to the famous watering- places of Europe, to the vast stretches of sandy beaches lined with lounging, sun-tanned idlers, to the cool, green mountains, and to the white-capped Alps. Crowds of them, slovenly women, indolent men, and unkempt chil- dreng they are found in the stuffy tenements overflowing with hu- manity. They exist in the slums of every city, with barely room to move, slouching along the squalid pavements. The average individ- ual recoils from them,-yet they are happy. Here French rubs shoulders with Russian, Italian laughs with the jocular Irish. There are no barriers such as nationality and creed to these people. They mingle with perfect equanimity in their crowds. Crowds of little children, ra- diant and laughing, smelling fresh- ly of clean soap and water, playing in a broad. shady park. Their high- pitched, clear voices ring out as they jostle one another, or tumble on the soft grass. Fond mothers gather on benches to keep guard a.nd chat with neighbors. These cherubic youngsters form as pleas- fir ing and colorful picture as would delight the eye of any Raphael. Throngs of women, perspiring, weary, tired, petulant, clamoring around a much-advertised bargain counter. With wild animal in- stinct, they shove each other ruth- lessly, snatching and discarding the articles on the table. Large, bulky ladies with wheezy move- ments push and elbow their way closer. Angular persons squeeze into incredibly small openings, amid groans and muttered phrases. Exasperated salesgirls hurry .to and fro, answering endless in- quiries, counting change, and eX- changing misiitting garments. The hot, stuffy atmosphere reeks with nerve-wracked, fatigued humanity. At the theatres, in dance halls, on streets, at bridge parties, on the boulevards, one sees them. Crowds, some pleasing to see, some excit- ing curiosity, some repeuanf, some pitiable. All members of one great Fraternity, all under one Protection. Solitude, which poets often eulogize, is all very well at times, but it may be depressing and even terrifying. There is something about a crowd, vivid, pulsating with life, that attracts like a mag- nate. There is a feeling of com- panionship and freedom when mingling with a crowd, to feel that everything is alive, to have every nerve tingling with anticipation. They are found everywhere, of every race,-crowds. 7 E. HARRIET DONLEVY 30 IT MAYBE CALLED TRITE-BUT- f'I'm on the shelf, saving myself for you. Alas! and alack a day! How weary the hours are. How dreary everything looks to me. How true are the words, Pride goeth before a fall. For I have fallen, ah yes, fallen so low that I fear I can never rise again. Lying here, day after day, no one noticing me, nobody caring whether I am here or not. And but a year ago, I was at the height of my popularity. THE PILGRIMH gggh gg, How I was sought! By kings, presi- dents, and beautiful princesses. They came miles to see me. The papers were filled with my exploits, and I was happy. Happy-what an empty-sounding word that is now to me! I am Hlled to overflow- ing with words-but what empty words they are now, to what they might have been. Lying here, I have had a chance to think things over, and it all comes back in a rush, that evening in the royal palace in a small country in Europe. I was lying on the beach in the park thinking of my visit to this delightful spot with the lovely Princess Vera. Lovely did not de- scribe her. Her beauty was ethe- real, a tall, slender, willowy girl, golden-haired, and blue-eyed-she seemed to me the lovliest girl in the world, but of course I could not tell her so. Was she not a princess? She was sitting on the grass by me, with her hands clasped in her lap, and her eyes fixed unseeingly ahead of her. She did not need me, so I settled back in comfort, con- tent to watch her. Presently I saw her lift her head, and fiing back the mass of rippling curls with one white, slender hand. Her eyes were intent on a small foot-path, leading into the forest. Suddenly she was on her feet in one supple, graceful movement, poised and eager. I looked toward the path, and saw emerging from the cool. green woods, a tall, slim giant of a boy. He was as dark as Vera was fair, with a look of love and fealty in his eyes. I wondered-. Have you the message? asked the Princess in her low, melodious voice. Give it to me. She stretch- ed one hand to him. She had forgotten me and he did not realize that I was there, so I decided to be an extremely in- terested spectator. The lad made a deep obeisance. Dear Princess-I have failed I he said in a low tone. Failed ? the word rang through the quiet of the summer afternoon, in a tone of mingled horror and contempt. THE PILGRIM 5 The boy bowed his handsome, black head. Failed, he repeated quietly. Oh, Gaylord! have you failed me, too? Sobs shook the slim figure, and she covered her quiver- ing face with her two, slender hands. Princess Vera- began the youth leaning toward her. She stood up suddenly, regally beautiful. Go!!' She spoke but the single word with such a world of scorn and disgust in her voice, that the lad turned pale, and, making an- other deep obeisance, vanished through the trees. In an abandon of misery, she threw herself on the mossy grass. Suddenly she leaped nimbly to her feet and came toward my seat. You can help me--you-, she cried in her thrilling, husky tones and snatched me into her arms. Then she set off across the field, taking me along with her. Coming to a small house, she knocked on the door and cried, 'Tis I, Vera. Enter, said a sad voice, and we complied at once. I have brought Magnolia with me, to cheer you up, darling, said the Princess, tenderly kissing the old ladyis withered cheeks. I began to feel foolish. Was this all Princess Vera had been making the fuss about? Was this- Why, here comes a girl who looks exactly like Princess Vera- it is she! Will she look? Will she know me? She does-! She's com- ing this way with Jenkins-she is! She is speaking! I am looking for a certain book, I forget the name, but the cover is white-with magnolia blossoms on it. The author? Let me see. John --Jone-a simple name-I have it -John Smith-yes, John Smith. Here it is, Madame, said Jenkins. 'Magnolia' is the name. She ran her finger quickly thro- ugh the pages, until she came to this, To Vera-with love--from Gaylord. This is my book! she cried. The words to a song popped into my head at this minute-- I'm on the shelf, saving myself for you. Yes, it's true, I'd been saving myself for this without knowing it, but now-now- Life is pretty good, even if you are only a book. MARGARET BROWN '30 TRIALS OF A STUDENT What do you say, Alec? Will you go to the show with me to- night? You can do your book re- port some other time, after the show, for instance. Say, brother, who do you think I am, the Prince of Nighthawks? I have to get up tomorrow morn- ing at four-thirty in case you don't know it. Oh, you should worry. To- morrow is Friday and you can sleep from eight P. M. to ten A. M., er-that is, if you aren't stepping out. You know what I mean ? Yeh, but this blooming, blasted book report. I just got the book this afternoon. A five-pointer with four hundred and ninety-seven pages-and it's due tomorrow. Oh, I'd like to invent a form of punishment for that English teacher. Just for spite, I'm going to the show. That's the way to talk, old man. Come on, it's quarter of eight now, and we'll miss half of the first pic- ture. We now drop in at Alec's home just after he has come in. Chuckl- ing to himself over the comedy that he has just seen, he is seen lying on his bed gazing at page twenty-six of the Biography of Ivan Zavanovichf' Ten minutes later he has advanced three pages backwards to the picture of Ivan's daughter opposite page twenty- three. Having gazed at Ivan's daughter and admired her beauty for all of half an hour, Alec de- cides that it would be much more comfortable to undress and get in- to bed where he can lie on his back and proceed with the torture of reading. This he did, but, having read for a while, the softness of his bed and the peculiar actions of his eyelids finally overcame his ability to read longer. Through the air shot a 6 THE PILGRIM black streak, this was the Biogra- phy which finally met opposition when it tried to penetrate the wall, the result being a well-bent book cover. Also through the air came a volley of words which do not belong to the English language. And finally through the air came the distinctive snore, which sound- very much like a train passing through a tunnel. Alec slept for three hours and twenty-six minutes when there was heard in the dark, mysterious atmosphere the penetrating ring of the little round alarm clock. There was another series of mis- used nouns, verbs, adjectives, and every other part of speech in the English language, plus a few more which we shall not mention just now. These were hurled at the alarm clock which, of course, could not be blamed for waking him up, because he, himself, had set it. Five hours later Alec was writ- ing a very lengthy book report in the English class. He filled two pieces of paper and half of another with his knowledge of forty pages of the book and the brief index. Laboriously he completed the last topic on the outline. VI Opinion of the Book? The bodk is very interesting and it is a pleasure to read it. Ivan Zavanovich is a very interesting character, and he did many noble things throughout his glorious life. F. WHITING '30 A FORGOTTEN TUNE Slowly I close my eyes, Softly the velvet black Holds me- Drifting. . . Softly down my street of dreams A forgotten tune- Never have I heard music blown so lightly, Now it touches my cheek, Daintily blows on my eyes-my hair, So close to me. Now far away-I've lost it! No, it's close again, Soft, ,so very soft-I shall sleep agaln. A delicate memory of the past- A dream lost among dreams. N. P. SEARS '30 oDE Arnnm-'XRTURE Edifice of understanding! to whom Enshrined within thy stately walls ,We've humbly looked for guidance, We found knowledge, omnipres- ent, Your legacy of learning we accept, And place within our hearts for evermoreg To you who set our course aright, Weill look, in years to come, With eyes alight with admiration. You moulded, from a shapeless mass, A mind, the navigator of the soul, Within whose reash may rest That oft-sought, ye seldom-gained Will o' the Wisp, that men call Fame. If glory is our goal, and we achieve Its heights, to you we'll give all praise, For, 'tis toward you, the friend of youth, To whom all eyes should turn. As epithets, tho' flowing o'er with gratitude, Can not convey our love, we'll say: As youths we've loved, as adults We shall thank and praise you, When, with quickened pulse, we turn Our thoughts toward you, our Alma Mater. H. GEARY '30 A SONNET The lakes and hills are permanent: Their beauty rivals all. The gallant oaks and stately pines Live on through ages long. The ocean, with the ceaseless roll Of wave upon the shore, Eternally does ebb and flow, Through darkness and through storm. And so, through numbered years, we must Prove true and worthy sons. The lessons we have learned, of love, Allegiance, guidance, health, Will help us all with strength to live, And benefit Mankind. K. FARNELL '30 THE PILGRIM 7 SUBMITTED FOR THE AMERICAN LEGION PRIZE From the seventy-six papers submitted by the Senior history class, the staff considered these tivo most worthy of publication. THE OREGON TRAIL CAn Historical Essayj What was the Oregon Trail? That is the first question that con- fronts the student who seeks in- formation upon this subject. To the non-imaginative, mechan- ical, narrow-minded being, it is but a customary route that certain im- migrants traversed on their way to the West :-a trail that led from Westport on the Missouri River, along the Kansas, Platte, and Sweet Water Rivers into the Oregon Territory. Let us put aside this narrow, contracted view, and turn to the version of the imaginative, pensive, far-sighted man, the idealist,-a person like a painter who sees beauty in such commonplace oc- currences as a sunset or a child nestled in his mother's fond em- brace. In his sight the Oregon Trail was one blazed by dauntless faith, marked with human bloodshedg its guide-posts shining skeletons, bleached by the torrid, over-hang- ing sun known only to desert skiesg -vivid, graphic monuments left to tell the tales of blood-curdling massacres by frantic Indians, or, perhaps, of the sufferings of starv- ing human beings who had killed their mules and horses to provide food for aching stomachs. But there was little of that food that consoles for grief-torn minds and hearts who, in such pitiful predica- happy times enjoyed back home on the quiet farms of Illinois, Ken- tucky, and even of New Englandg hearts who in such pitiful predica- ments as they now found them- selves, turned to reverent prayer. What was the incentive that beckoned them onward from peace to strife, from the known to the unknown? We must remember that this army of immigrants was composed of various types, and as diverse were their aims in venturing into the wilds of the West. Some sought free land for new homes, some sought fur-bearing animals, while some sought gold, ever a source of trouble to mankind. Others, pioneers like Carson, were merely exploring this wild land for the enjoyment they received by being in constant contact with Nature Cin her native elementj, and by be- ing leaders in the conquests of civilization. Then there were the riff-raff, gamblers, and crooks, the parasites of society, seeking liveli- hood from others' labors,-it mat- tered not how they obtained it so long as little manual labor was re- quired. Also, here were those afflicted with the wanderlustg tumble-weeds rolling along, in whose veins flowed blood on fire with the desire to see new lands and people. Unknown to them, they were but following the same in- stincts that their barbaric ances- tors,-the Huns, the Franks, the Angles, and the Saxons had fol- lowed in the Past Ages. Also in the ranks of the immi- grants, could be found the mission- aries like Marcus Whitman, who realized their duty and were de- liberately risking their lives to try to convert the treacherous Indian. They were martyrs as were the Roman Christians that came be- fore them! To such types do we owe the con- quest of the West 3-it really was a conquest, for only by their settle- ments effected only by severe tribulations, was he United States able to establish such a strong claim to the disputed Oregon Territory, now a Wealthy section of our country. Once settled, they could not be easily moved, and, when in 1844 the con- troversey arose with Great Britain concerning the Oregon-Canadian border, they displayed their patri- 8 THE PILGRIIVI otism by the now famous words, H54-40 or fight! In little more than a half cen- tury, the charming and fertile valley of the Platte has been trans- formed into prosperous common- wealths, its development from an almost desert waste, a marvelous monument to the restless energy of the American people. Although the Iron Horse now rides rough-shod over the Oregon Trail, and although it has complete- ly effected the civilization of the West, the tourist from the win- dow of his car on the Union Pacific Railroad, gazes in wonder- ing awe at the wild scene that stretches out before him to the dis- tant snow-capped mountains,- isolated buttes, rocky bluffs, light- ning-splintered gorges, foaming torrents, fantastically-formed boul- ders-wonders that do not recog- nize puny man! The Platte Valley for un- told ages was a beautiful, aw- ful wilderness, the haunt of stately-headed elk, of vast herds of buffalo, of deer, and of other game. Through this garden of Eden flowed the Platte, described by Irving as the most magnificent and most useless of streams. To- day. its islands seem groves of ver- dure Hoating about on the spark- ling water, and, when seen in the rarefied atmosphere of the West, they create the impression of a master-piece fresh from the hands of God! Along the route followed by the train, are numerous evidences of the days when the mountains echoed the diabolical yell of the savage Redskin as he tore the reek- ing scalp from the head of the Paleface. There is Wood River, a noted landmark and camping place for those who followed the tide of im- migration, and Brady's Island, the scene of the brutal murder of an old-time trapper by one of his partners. One of the historic places on the left bank of the river is Ash Hollow, famous as the spot on which a bloody Indian battle was fought. Johnson's Creek was named for a missionary who, thinking bloodshed should be avert- ed, ventured forth to pacify a war party of Indians that was attacking the immigrant train of which he was a member. Independence Rock is an isolated mass of granite located in the middle of the river. Its base covers an area of five acres, and the rock rises to a height of three hundred feet. The front face of this ancient landmark, is covered with names of the trappers, traders, and others who perhaps thought their rude carvings would make them famous. The rock was named by a party of men who cele- brated their Fourth of July at the foot of this historic rock. There are other famous scenes too numerous to mention, and, as the train rushes onward, the traveler, awed by this immense, imposing beauty cannot but feel deeply sorry for those unknowing tourists who, in search of interest- ing scenery, forget their own country to travel thousands of miles to other lands! But the ignorant must be taught. Let this be a small step in the Americanizing of the American tourists, that he may better appre- ciate the natural gifts that are his by the sacrifice of others and by the grace of God! DELMO ENAGONIO '30 THE WESTERN PLAIN Across the eastern sky A crimson flush dawning Gilds God's dry inland sea. O'er rippling waves of grass Blown by sultry winds, Sun-iilled sails slack, drooping, As onward slowly toiling Across the blinding sand, Creeps the weary caravan. Beneath men's shouts and oaths, Like ocean's dreary monotone, Four rhythmic beats like music, Music-irritating-far from sooth- lng S Blow-wave-ripple-dip, Fill the weary brain With thoughts of friendly trees Etched in a cloudless sky, S' ' A THE PILGRIM 9 Of cool and sparkling water A house grew from a shapeless Dripping on the mossy stone. A mass. Parched and blackened lips Men burrowed in like grubby Utter crys of joy. moles, Tired eyes strain forward- Into empty space- 'Tis gone-and naught remains. Illusion like a temptress Waves her golden wand and van- ishes-- And on thro' blistering afternoon, Lurches the endless straggling line, Stolidly onward into the sun. Along muddy creek banks Imprinted deep with buffalo wallows, Stamped by shaggy beasts-trudg- ing on. Then a shout rings out- Camp! a magic word That slips from lip to lip. Fevered voices pierce the gloomy curtain Of choking dust and prairie heat, Like embers of a dying fire, Brightened by the bellow's breath. Wagons, gath'ring like frightened children, Clasp hands of friendship, round about The single flame of hope within their midst. Above the camp the stars peep out, Tender, yellow flowers Bud softly in the sky's own prairie garden. The horses' neighing drifts upon the ev'ning breeze, A coyote howls in dismal answer- then Silence-save for distant sound of shiv'ring grass. Silence-silence, grass and stars, The camp sleeps while the night slips on. Day after day of ceaseless journey while Blood-streaked eyes search fran- tically. This far shalt thou go-no farther, The God of settlers seemed to say. Snows, droughts, blizzards, storms, Rains, hot winds, and little pigmy people All held in the hollow of His hand. Sand was scooped from lowly slopes, Completing small sod houses. Home! revival of hopes and courage. The autumn in all its loneliness Passed into winter-winter to Spring. When the land was a desolate waste, 'Three curling spirals of smoke, Drifted lazily into the gray of the sky, Incense ascending to the God of Homes. Spring came over the prairie, not Softly and shyly, but in magic strides. Nature, the alchemist, ground in her mortar Faint odors of loam, grasses, and wild flowers, Tossing these o'er the prairie 'on wings of the wind. And then in the cloudless blue, A haze grew and spread, And the tell-tale odor of smoke Was borne on the gentle breeze. Upon God's green earth, Great strips of upturned loam ap- peared, Like creations from an artist's brush, And then it rolled in from the North West, The black of smoke, then the low Running scarlet of the fire! All afternoon the river lay between The hideous advancing Thing And the defenseless bank of set- tlers. Ah! The cruel lips of flame Ceased reaching-reaching for their prey. The land across the creek lay Desolate, solitary, a blackened waste, Trees charred and turned to ashes. The fire, the terror of the prairie, Had come and gone, leaving its scar. A year passed-a year of Hardships, toil, and agony. Then Spring sprang up anew, Throbbing, vibrating with life. From the west a warning came, 10 THE PILGRIM A black cioud hissed onward, Then ceasing, a soft thud an- nounced The Grasshoppers come to destroy. A cloud of a billion wings covered the fields, Gardens and crops now had gone. A sole heart-breaking memory re- mained. Everywhere this squirming, green- ish mass Raged with their crunching in- cissors. Nature looked on with malicious joy Pressing on with more evil- The sand storm loomed in the dis- tance. 'Twas like breasting the waves of a dirty sea. A black blizzard in its fury, With grit and dust for snow. Above all God looked kindly down, And here and there green tints appeared Under His guiding hand. Time passes-with its cares Imprinted on each westerner's life. Life, Time's galley slave, stands forever Shackled to its unrelenting master. RUTH PERRIER '30 BENEDICTION Fast now with moving hours will come The day when we must part, Each memory's jewel from these four years Is fastened to our heart. Classmates-the shadows upon Life's dial Lengthen and move along, They do but teach the clearness Of right, and, too, of wrong. The lessons of high school days are passed, The books and child-thoughts, too. We reasoned as children and talked like them- That was before we grew. Now with a firmer thought and tread We pause at the open door, And we pray, May we meet the trials of life Like those that have gone be- fore. K.

And it happened that George Marsden, who ruled over the school at that time, called together the multitude, saying, Break ye not my commandments lest ye toil at your desk long after the hour of dismissal. And the Freshmen took heed, and labored honestly and faithfully at their studies. And there were in the same school, certain lofty people called Seniors, at whose commands the Freshmen trembled and obeyed, lest they stir up the wrath of those dignitaries. And there was one Clement Briggs, who, at the bid- ding of several of the domineering Seniors, entered into the presence of Mr. Marsden, where he mad a low bow, saying Woof! Woof! And there came a day when the Freshmen assembled in the spacious building, commonly known as the Memorial Hall. There they were seated, and there they observed most carefully while the superior upper-classmen presented an opera, the H. lVI. S. Pinafore, so that at some future day they might contribute to such excep- tional performance as The Mi- kado, and the Voodoo Minstrel. It came to pass in the month of June that the class of 1930 left its humble position, and its members became upperclassmen, saving those who had not listened to the advice of our worthy principal, for they must dwell for another year in a meek station. And in the fall of the year nine- teen hundred and twenty-seven, our esteemed leader, Mr. Marsden, went forth from the school unto new lands, and in his stead there came a man who was to win a place of esteem in the hearts of the students. And so under the rule of Wayne M. Shipman, the school principal, the students rejoiced and were glad. Book: II And in the second year of our stay in Plymouth High we dwelt under the name of wise fools. And it came to pass that in this year the basketball team won the tournament at the Brockton HY. The class of '30 contributed its Hrst star in the person of Chiefy Armstrong. In this year the finances of the school ran low, and all of the wiser heads of the school assembled that they might bring relief to this serious condition. Then, after much deliberation, a plan was agreed upon, to be known as the Wool- worth Plan. Whereupon the dimes Howed from the pockets of the pupils into the treasury of Coach Smith, and the honor of the school was upheld. And in the spring of the year, Coach Smith assembled the first of his fine track teams, which swept aside all opposition and triumphed in the great conquests in the lands of Brockton and Hingham. In this manner the second school year of the class of '30 came to a close. And it was prophesied that the class would bring to the school great honors in scholarship and athletics. Book III And thus it was, after complet- ing with success the first two years of its stay in P. H. S., that the class of '30 entered into its third year, where much glory and praise was to be bestowed upon its members. From out of the lands of North Plymouth there came mighty men who were to carry on the high hopes of Plymouth High. With some support from the other classes, Coach Consodine formed a football team, and, for the first time in several years, the team received no defeats. The memor- able event of the season occurred 14 THE PILGRIM when our worthy team outplayed our great rivals, Whitman, in one of' the finest games of football ever witnessed. And the cheers of the class of '30, mingled with those of the multitude, spurred the boys on to victory. And in the meantime, whil-e the boys were thus gaining glory, the girls worked hard, and, as a result, produced a brilliant hockey team. Not only in athletics did the class prosper, but their efforts were crowned in even other fields. With the coming of The Mikado to our school, the worthy Mrs. Buck selected three of our class for roles in this great undertaking. These songsters did their best to make the production a marked success. No Junior year passeth by suc- cessfully without that great event, the Junior Prom. The worthy leaders of the town kindly per- mitted us to use the Memorial Building, where a large crowd gathered and enjoyed the outstand- ing social event of the year. And so it happened that, during our third year, The Pilgrim was the recipient of a shield, designat- ing it as the best all-round school paper in the district. The Massasoit Chapter of the National Honor Society, consisting of those pupils who had attained a high rating in scholarship, service and leadership, was organized. It so happened that four members of our class were elected to this so- ciety. And during the remainder of the year Coach Smith produced a fine basketball team and an undefeated track team. Thus ended our Jolly Junior year in P. H. S. Book IV And in the last year, the class of '30 lived up to the prophecies which the wise men had made, and brought honors to the school in the Helds of learning and athletics. These are their numerous accom- plishments: In the fall of the year a mighty man rived in this gathering the the school, he 9 named Bagnall, ar- ancient town, and stalwart youths of moulded them into a mighty machine, which trampled down its enemies on the gridiron, and emerged at the end of the sea- son unbeaten and unscored upon. And forget ye not that on this team eight of the eleven positions were ably filled by our strong and courageous seniors led by Captain Lenzi. And at this time it was announ- ced that The Pilgrim, our school paper, had run badly into debt. With the assistance of Mrs. Buck, Miss Locklin, Miss Quinn, Miss Judd, and Mr. Shipman, the pupils of the school presented a night of entertainment featuring two plays, The Crimson Cocoanut and the Bachelor's Dream, and a Voodoo Minstrel. And great was the success of this enterprise, for the Pilgrim debt was' not only wiped out, but money was placed in the treasury for future times of need. And during the remaining part of the year the school continued to produce fine athletic teams, com- posed largely of seniors. And again in this year new members were admitted to that society which recognizes scholar- ship, leadership, and service, the Massasoit Chapter of the National Honor Society. And in the days which are to come, let us not forget the deeds of our honorable teachers and class- mates: First of all, our worthy class president, Francis Whiting, who hath led his classmates during their period of greatest accom- plishments in P. H. S. Leno Lenzi, a son of North Ply- mouth, who rose to heights of glory in his days at P. H. S. He had the distinction of being the iirst five-letter man, and he also showed his qualities of leadership by being captain of our football team and president of the Student Council. Mrs. Raymond, whose willing work and guidance has made possible that great school paper, The Pilgrim. Mrs. Buck, who did train fine voices in The Mikado and the Vaudeville. THE PILGRIM 15 And the advice and leadership of Mr. Shipman, our esteemed principal, and his assistant, Mr. Mongan. Last, but by no means least, remember ye the deeds of that neat little man, Coach Smith fever bearing in mind that the best goods come in small packagesb namely: organizing, maintaining, and up- holding the Woolworth Plang and turning out great leaders in basket- ball and track, moreover, he has installed in the youth of P. H. S. the instincts of sportsmen. And on June 24, 1930, those of the class of '30, numbering seventy- six, those who had not fallen by the Wayside, assembled in the Mem- orial Hall for their Commencement Exercises. Thus it came to pass that the class of '30, armed with diplomas by its principal, went out into the world bearing as its motto, Labor omnia vincitf' HOWARD DAVEE ALLAN HANDY Ernie riaissisiwg 95:13:31.114liuioiufoiilqbx ri 051131131614 CLASS WILL We, the class of nineteen hundred thirty, of Plymouth High School, State of Massachusetts, United States of America, in this revolutionary epoch of futuristic paintings, boop-boop-a-doop, flow- ing skirts, the Hoosier Hop, and Vagabond lovers, considering that the wages of sin is death, and that all this discussion of a new school is fruitless, being of sound C?D and precise UD mind in spite of labori- ous digestion of DeQuincey's Essays and his habitual digress- ions, do hereby endeavor to submit our last will and testament: To the keeper of the bees, Mr. Shipman-Our sincere apprecia- tion and an Assembly of atten- tive individuals whose craniums Work faster than their lips. To Mrs. Raymond-Our heartfelt gratitude for all she has done, and the assurance that it will not be considered a breach of etiquette if she omits News Tests from the year's program. To Mrs. Swift-An assortment of pupils who can fully comprehend the intricacies of a mind like George Eliot's. To Mr. Smiley-A class of pupils Csophsl who do not think that the national indoor sport in Germany is beer-guzzlingj' or that most people die fromauro- mantic fever and tapewormsf' To Mr. Fash-Our sincere felicita- tions on having survived those indescribable odors, the rem- nants of which often filter down to Room 1.

To Mr. Coats and Mr. Smith- Our sympathy, for our success- ors are already showing a ten- dency to tear up paper on the oiled floors.

He had called us to inquire about some patents concerning a new inven- tion which he had just perfected. He welcomed us with a gay cordiality and ushered us into his private workshop where we were impressed by the maze of intri- cate machinery. After telling his assistant, I think that it was Lewis Morini, that he wanted absolute privacy, the Professor led us to a queer contraption resembling a combination radio, phonograph, camera, and steam engine hap- hazardly thrown together. This was the machine on which he had been working for years, a machine by which a scene occurring any- where on earth could be recorded and thrown upon a screen. He then began an extensive ex- planation concerning the appara- tus but, seeing our blank express- ions, he concluded at once, A demonstration will make this much clearer. Suppose we use this ma- chine to discover what our former classmates in Plymouth High School are doing at present. Not only will this be interesting, but it will also be a good demonstra- tion of my apparatus. With a rapid movement he threw a switch, pulled a lever, and began to turn several dials. Upon the screen flashed a light, and then be- hold! a football game is in pro- gress. The Bulldogs have just made a smashing gain and Coach Vecchi is beside himself with joy, while Coach Ortolani gnashes his teeth. We think Water should have stuck to his fruit store, The Best. ' What's this? A commotion in the bleachers, and because of the wildly waving arms we recognize John Canevazzi, famous .manager of the Plymouth Orioles. My! how that man does rave-no ,wonder his team won the league champion- ship. The picture changes and we now see the inner room of a .stock broker's office. Who has risen to such prominence in finance? Upon the screen flash the visages of none other than Bert Smith and Ferdy Emond, still partners, as when we knew them in high school days. A bustling little secretary enters, and we recognize none other than says a dry name-one business in- she speaks, Marion Bennett. She goods merchant by Ramos--would like a terview, and even as Joe himself breezes in-making the windows rattle with his soft greetings. Afraid that this vibration.wo,uld affect the machine, Prof. Burns turns the dials and we see a beauti- ful new school. It must be Plym- outh High School-just erected- and what a number of old friends are here. There. is Leno Lenzi, coaching his girls' track team Chis permanent is still in perfect orderl. Ruth Perrier is just enter- ing a sixth period study hall-and silence reigns over all, Beatrice Johnson is reprimanding her his- tory class, and Louise Tosi is ex- pounding upon a most difficult theorem in geometry. Next we see the interior of the town press. There's Oliver Harlow with his pet linotype machine: he must be working on The Pilgrim. In the office several voices are raised in discussion. One belongs to State Forrester Handy: the 18 THE PILGRIM press misspelt his name last week. Bill Given, the Business Manager, will not apoligize, not even for old time's sake, we always did call the complainant Halan Andy any- way. Again a shift in scenes and lo! we are in a magnificient theatre owned by John Morton and Victor Venturi, old classmates of ours. Behold Johnnie Morton in evening dress and starched shirt-not much like the Johnnie of sweater days. Red-hot music beats about us-yes indeed, that is Howie Beauregard's own orchestra in action, and even as we watch-he himself raises his sax and bleats at the audience. A wonderful violin solo by Ellen Woolford, accom- panied by Laura Gappannari, follows, then a little sister act by Genevieve Hughes and Elsie Longhi delights us until Eileen Dennehy and Peggy Worcester appear. We are shaken by nostal- gia- for we heard them often in days long gone by. Pathe'l News is flashed upon the screen. Now we shall see some celebreties-there is Doris Salani signing her first message as Secre- tary of State-and Mary Sampson who has successfully pleaded her first case as divorce lawyer. There's Nancy Sears, famous novelist, seated at her desk in her library. Hold on-there's the new steam- ship Roster leaving port and, standing at the rail, is Elizabeth Tripp, famous adventurer off for Patagonia in search of the missing link. Her faithful secretary and companion, Lucy Zaniboni, stands beside her while Robert Zucchi, first mate, restrains the crowd. Mary Smith weeps as she sees familiar faces fade away. Next we gaze upon a golf links. Ye-s indeed, here comes Eleanor Bartlett,-pardon us, Mrs. Hig- gins, wife of the famous lawyer. She has just won the Women's Amateur Golf Tournament. We see John Boyle, reporter for The Spicer, interviewing the famous track expert, Howard Davee. Davee Says that, with John Pascoe and Carleton Rose as coaches, America has a fine chance in the Olympics. Burns now transports us to the office of the Plymouth Electric Light Company. With feet on his desk and that familiar grin upon his face sits the president himself, Ghiefy Armstrong. He chuckles to himself as over the telephone he jokes with the little wife down in Chiltonville. Patiently waiting for him to ring off, is a titian- haired stenographer, Flora Borghi by name. The power of the Professor's machine was clearly demonstrated when it brought to us a rolling farm in the west. In the middle of a field is an interesting sight. John Smith, evidently the owner of the farm, is severely reprimanding the aviator of a plane that has just landed in the field. The pilot re- moves his goggles and presto! Alec MacKay is recognized. Who is this coming to his assistance? Mary Welsh herself, famous lec- turer and debater, who now flies to fulfill her engagements. By an elo- quent and emotional flow of words she convinces John that he must make this little sacrifice to Pro- gress, a speech which greatly amuses Harold Geary, who is supervising irrigation on John's farm. Now another familiar figure steps into view. Well, well, Harriett Donlevy of all people! She is on her way to the post-oflice for a letter from a certain MacLean back East. Harriett is touring the west for material for her next feature article. Nearby, unaware of earthly commotion, is our artist, Silvio Saracca, who slowly daubs at a canvas. He is disturbed at his work when, in a roadster, Francis Whiting and the former Pearl Hatfield drive up. Coomie is tak- ing a vacation from his business, Now a series of oflice scenes Hashes into view. There must be some of our old friends here-ah- over at the desks, talking over last night's movies, we see Barbara Coombs, Betty Eastburne, Beatrice THE PILGRIM 19 Fox, and Leah Frye. Why the sud- den commotion? Through the door strides the manager of the Plym- outh Purice Company, Mr. Robert Carr, and the girls scatter. Again the scene changes to the water-front of a small town. We are really in Plymouth, for we can see the Rock. A dory is drifting near the wharf, and, sprawling in the seat with a fish pole in his hand, is none other than Gordon Tucker--he would take life easy. And now? In New York City a Good Housekeeping Exposition is in progress. Miss DeZorett, in charge of the Exposition, is just making a tour of the booths. We follow her. Ladies and gentlemen, the former Miss Rollene Gilbert adver- tising Cape Cod Cranberries! First Aid in the Home, demon- strated by Miss Mildred Fraser! Laura Govi, famous ladies' tailor, speaking upon, The Correct Sports Costume for the High School Senior ! We must leave the exposition to find more of our friends. Hold! there is a circus. Who is here? Ah! Maggie Brown, famous lion tamer, is about to tantalize her terrifying tigers. Hurray! Now Arthur Holmes demonstrates his Robot Rover--the mechanical dog. Bumpus Brothers Radio Company is broadcasting this circus pro- gram. All aboard for a few more glimpses! We find Elizabeth Gunther conducting her orphan?- age in North Plymouthg Kay Farnell teaching her children to 95130301031101011rioiuiuiuicxiui i play the clarinet, and Virginia Anderson, politician, organizing a campaign for the installation of a water supply system for Mano- met. The chimes of a radio clock in- terrupt our wanderings. Whew! how time has flown-we are late for lunch--the Mrs. will be angry. Well, au reservoir. 'DELMO ENAGONIO . K.

Despite various examinations and book inspections, the pupils of the school have survived and have accomplished several things. Our first was the track meet at Brockton where Plymouth dis- tinguished itself. Testimony to the result may be found in Room 12. For further information see Ath- letic Column. The next event worthy of con- sideration is the plans for gradua- tion, which, with the direction of Mrs. Raymond, Mrs. Buck, Miss Quinn, and Miss Locklin combined with the whole-hearted help of the Seniors, shows promise of being the best ever. The last issue of The Pilgrim is dedicated to the Seniors, all ma- terial therein being written by this esteemed class. Special articles were written as follows: Class History: Allan Handy, ,Howard Davee Class Prophecy: Kenneth Cam- eron, Delmo Enagonio Class Will: Nancy Sears, Harriet Donlevy Class Poems: Ruth Perrier, Eileen Dennehy, Harold Geary, Allan Armstrong, Louise Tosi, Mary Welsh The school has recently been honored by several distinguished men, who imparted very useful advice to the pupils. Among these people were: Dr. Augustus Thomas, Former Commissioner of Education of Maine Allan Furber, Chandler Secretarial School Mr. Eldridge, Chairman of the Board of Selectmen Dr. Baker, Tufts College At the same assembly at which Dr. Thomas gave his speech, which was most appropriate for the oc-4 casion, pins were presented to the members of The Pilgrim staff for distinguished service to the school paper. The editor-in-chief and the buiness manager were awarded gold emblems, while other members of the staff received sil- ver ones. Have any observing pupils re- marked the drastic and construc- tive treatment of the track field? We can now honestly say that we are proud to have visitors inspect it. incidentally, the tennis court has undergone several repairs and now is ready for those aspiring to surpass Helen Wills and Bill Tilden. The members of the Massasoit Chapter of the National Honor Society were fortunate enough to escape a hot day at school. They made a tour of historical Concord. These pupils showed us that they believe thrift is an honest virtue by preparing a picnic lunch for the occasion. The Pilgrims, we mean members of The Pilgrim staff, attended a meeting of the Southeastern Massachusetts League of School Publications held at Milton. They had not only an opportunity to get new ideas, but an opportunity to renew old acquaintances. They were welcomed by our former principal, Mr. Marsden: during the evening's proceedings they ob- served our old friend, Horace Turner, exercising his vocal chords in a boys' double quartette. All those who attended this meeting thoroughly enjoyed it. Let us now review the past year roughly: Football-Champions l Basketball--Almost Champions Baseball-Not so good Track-Champions again!

JosEPH RAMos '30 EL HAGAR ESO EN EL PORTAL Juanito era un nino malo, siempre en turbacion. Tenia ca- bellos negros, ojos azules, y un tez rojo. Juanito era permitido sentarse a la mesa con la familia. A la mesa era muy dificil para su madre y su padre callarle. Siempre osio la fiada a pesar de las bofetadas de sus padres. Tambien escucho siem- pre a la conversacion y nunca acer- to una palabra que era dicho. CEsto era muy desafortunadoj Un dia el padre de Juanito hablo de la riada de la senora Brown, una vecina. Otro dia Juanito estaba a la casa de la senora Brown, quien le di6 una pieza de tortita. Juanito la comio y dijo. 1Dios mio! Esta era buena! Aunque mi madre dijo un dia que Vd. no pudo cocinar pero pienso diferente. Mi madre dijo tambien que no comeria su riada porque era mala y yo estaria enfermo. La madre de Juanito era sus- pirido el dia prozimo cuando la senora Brown no la hablo. Hallo despues que J uanito hacia una visita. Juanito hallo tambien que su madre supo que hacia una visita porque despues que su ma- drele habia visto pobre Juanito no pudo ir a pie. EILEEN DENNEHY '30 LA PERCEPCION Jamas habia articulado una pala- bra hasta ahora Silencio y innexibilidad reclinan sobre Vd. Blancura cubre su cabeza cansado Su ojos estan cerrados, Su labios estan sellados Su cara ha tomado la Vida en su reposog Las cosas que Vd. trat6 de decirme cuando Vivia, Escapo mi comprension entonces- Pero ahora, hablay quizas pueda ser que Vd. este seguro Y me comprende cuando le digo asi. IDA MANGUCCI '30 38 THE PILGRIM A QUIEN LA PROCURA- Habia dos hombres, uno muy perezoso, llamado Juan, y el otro muy aplicado que se llamaba Car- los. Un dia Juan dijo a Carlos: -Vd. es un bobo, mireme, tomo la vida mas facil, cuando me gusta dor mir, duermo: hago lo que qu- iero. Vd. trabaja siempre y no gana nada. Carlos dijo-Cano dinero ahora para mi viejedad. Soy solo en este mundo. -Eso no es nada. Puede ser muerto en este tiempo.-dijo Juan. -Pero no esla manera de consid- erarlo. Ahora V.. hace lo que Vd. piense mejor y yo hago lo que creo mejor,-dijo Carlos. -Veinte anos despues los dos yo le he visto. Juan dijo en una voz media.-He estado un bobo yo mismo. No tengo nada excepto mucho hambre. Mireg Vd. es un hombre prospero y muy contento. El proberbio- Viene ventura a quien la procura - gtiene razon! Pero ahora es dem- aslado tarde. Los dos hombres se juntaron a pesar de todo. IDA MANGUCCI ,30 EL HAGAR ESO DICE EN NO HAY MIEL SIN HIEL Un dia como el sol levanto sobre el horizonte de arboles un grande oso hermoso y negro se levanto de su cama de hojas y bostezo y estre- cho su cuerpo grande. Con un temblor empezo ir por el bosque deteniendo a cada arbol y husmeando a los troncos para ver si habia algo de miel en los arboles. Al fin vino a un arbol que estuvo hueco. Husmeo al tronco y piafo las hojas del abierto. Habia un pequeiio abierto que pertenecio a algunas abejas. Pero las abejas habian levantado tam- bien y salieron zumbando como un circular alrededor del hermoso y negro oso, y picandole en todas partes posibles. Con un lato de dolor 'el oso corrio a un pequeno arroyo y salto en el agua fresco. Y entonces el oso supo que No hay miel sin hielf' O. HARLOW '30 GIRLS' TRACK Another successful season of track has come and gone for the girls, the Brockton Track Meet marking the finish. Members of the Girls' Track Team of 1930: Arlene Hall: A freshman, and a good sport Barbara Profetti: Also a freshman, and a member of the fifty-yard relay team Lillian Torrence: Anchor man on the iifty-yard relay Jean Rushton: Another freshman, and a valu- able acquisition to the team. Jeanie's long legs have made her a winner on the field and cinder path. She has beaten Louise Guy's high jump record. Florence Fraser: First runner on the fifty-yard relay Pauline Callahan: The last but not least of the illustrious freshmen. Pauline's absence from Brockton lost us at least three points. Dorothy Cassidy: Dot can broad-jump as Well as dance. Too bad she can't be outfielder on the baseball team. Mary Tracy: Her specialty is the high jump, but, confidentially, she'd prefer to be an assistant baseball coach. Katherine Davis: Kitten', is the leader of the fifty-yard dash and third runner of the 440 relay. With such a recommendation, Why did she feel blue at the Brockton Meet? -Ask her. Thelma Birnstein: Better known as T. B., fooled even the coach this year. Not only did she do the broad jump and baseball throvv, but she ap- peared at the eleventh hour and showed that she could also run. We needed her, too, in Brockton.

FRANCAIS JEANNE D'ARC Liimage qui sert deen tete du department francais dans le Pil- grim est une copie du premier tableau d'une serie de huit tableaux peints par Lionel Royer. Ces re- marquables peintures se trouvent dans le Basilique de Domremy et montrent les evenements import- ants dans la vie de la Pucelle d' Orleans. La premiere peinture represente Jeanne ecoutant les voix celestes. Elle est aux champs avec ses mou- tons et ses bestiaux. Les saints, Michel, Marguerite et Catherine lui paraissent, lui tendent une epee, un casque et un drapeau et lui disent que c'est sa mission d'aller se battre pour sauver la France. La deuxieme peinture s'appelle, La Reconnaissance du Roi at Chi- non. Pour mettre sa science a l'epreuve, le roi se tient a l'ecart quand Jeanne entre dans la salle et un seigneur occupe sa place. Cependant elle reconnait le vrai roi sans hesitation, au grand eton- nement de tout le monde. La troisieme peinture represente l'entree de Jeanne a Orleans. Les citoyens, se rejouissant de son ar- rivee, accourent, pour remercier leur liberatrice. La quatrieme montre la bataille de Patay, une victoire brillante de Jeanne. Cette scene, tres frappante est pleine de vie et d'action. Sur la cinquieme peinture on voit le sacre a Rheims. Le roi est a genoux devant reveque et la Pu- celle derriere lui. La cathedrale est pleine declerge et de soldats, et ceux--ci levent leur epee au mo- ment oii l'event leur epee au mo- sur la tete de Charles. La sixieme s'appelle, Le Bucher de Rouenf' Un pretre francais tient le crucifix devant Jeanne qui le regarde iixe-ment pendant que les flammes rnontent. Une foule immense la regarde, quelques-uns avec compassion et d'autres avec satisfaction. Cette scene est tres ernouvante et montre la sincerite et le courage de Jeanne au moment supreme. Les septieme et huitieme pein- tures montrent le contraste entre sa premiere communion avec d'autres enfants dans une eglise de campagne et sa derniere commun- ion tragique en prison, entouree de moines et de soldats. Dans toutes ces peintures elle parait avec un halo pour faire voir sa saintete. Ainsi dans son village natale on peut voir ces belles peintures de sa vie extraordinaire. LAURA CAPPANNARI '30 LA FETE DE JEANNE D'ARC En 1431 Jeanne d'Arc finit sa mission remarquable ei Rouen ou elle fut brulee vive. Presque cinq cent ans plus tard elle fut canonisee par l'eglise catholique et le deuxieme dimanche de mai fut declaree la fete offici- 40 THE PILGRIM elle de Jeanne d'Arc. Pendant les annees 1929-1931 on la celebre par des ceremonies touchantes dans tous les endroits par ou elle a passe. La premiere ceremonie de cette cinquieme cent- enaire se trouva a Domremy, vill- age ou Jeanne naquit. La, fut pla- cee la premiere de la longue serie de pierres qui devaient etre placees a toutes les haltes de sa grande mis- sion. L'inscription sur chacune des pierres est: sur les routes qui con- duisirent notre liberatrice a la peine, puis a l'honneur, puis au martyr. Apres celle de Domremy des ceremonies solonnelles eurent lieu a Vaucouleurs d'ou elle partit pour se rendre aupres du roi de France, a Chinon, a Orleans et a Rheimsg partout ou elle s'arreta. Dans toutes ces villes des ceremonies tres impressives eurent lieu et des milliers de gens vinrent rendre homage at leur heroine nationalle. VIRGINIA ANDERSON '30 LA FETE DES CIGOGNES Les Francais aiment beaucoup a celebrer les fetes differentes du printemps. Meme l'arrivee des cig- ognes est fetee. Celle-ci est un des premieres symptomes de printemps. Les en- fants des villages sont tres heureux quand ils voient voler au-dessus des toits ces grands oiseaux aux ailes noires et a la queue blanche. Au moment du retour de la pre- miere cigogne, de longs cris de joie s'elevent. Tous les enfants se reas- semblent sur la place. La, ils for- ment un cercle et chantent une vieille ronde avec laquelle depuis des siecles on celebre l'arrivee des cigognes. A Haslach on aime beaucoup les cigognes parce que, il y a des sie- cles, elles ont sauve de famine la vallee qui a ete devastee de ver- mine. Ces beaux oiseaux sont ar- rives comme reponse aux prieres des habitants. Les cigognes sont tres fideles et les habitants croient qu'elles sont des courriers de bonheur. Pour la jeune fille qui en rencontre une,- c'est une prediction de fiancailles. Dans les villages d'Alsace sur- tout, on voit ces pittoresques oiseaux qui nichent sur les toits comme de grands plumeaux blancs. RUTH PERRIER '30 DES NOUVELLES DE NOS CORRESPONDANTES Dans le derniert numero du Pil- grim on vous a raconte quelque chose de notre correspondance avec des eleves en France. Puisque maintenant beaucoup de jeunes filles ont regu des lettres de leurs amies francaises nous desirons vous en parler. Les eleves francais vont gener- alement a l'ecole a 8 :30 et y rest- ent jusqu'a 11:30. Alors ils sort- ent pour dejeuner, reviennent a 2:00 et y restent jusqu'a 6:00. Sans doute vous etes un peu etonnes de ces heures si longues et aussi re- connaissants que vous alliez a l'ecole en Amerique. Les eleves francaises ont plus d'etudes que nous. Par ex- ample, une de nos correspondan- tes etudie le francais, l'anglais, l'hollandais, le grec, le latin, et les mathematiques. Elles Prennent leur travail tres au serieux et pres- que toutes preparent des examens tres difficiles. Les jeunes filles ne se livrent pas aux sports autant que nous, faute de temps peut-etre. Les sports dont elles jouissen le plus sont le tennis, basket-ball, et la natationf' Une seule a dit qu'elle est eclaireuse Les eclaireuses en France ne sont pas organises partout, comme ici. Des lettres sont venues de Paris, de Rouen, de Versailles, de Mul- house, de Bruxelles, et d'autres en- droits. Plusieurs parties de la France sont ainsi representees et aussi la Belgique. Beaucoup de nos amies disent qu'elles aimeraient visiter l'Ameri- que, et nous autres, nous aimerions bien aller dans la belle France, voir nos amies et admirer les Vieux monuments interessants dont elles nous ont envoye tant de cartes postales.

BASEBALL The Plymouth High baseball team started its season in a very discouraging manner, being held to no hits and no runs by the Rock- land ace, Darling, who pitched per- fect balls while his team-mates found the local pitchers for nine runs. The potential power of our team was demonstrated at Middleboro, when behind the air-tight pitching of McLean, the boys played sen- sationally and batted out an eight to three victory. The next week the team col- lapsed, and before it had come out of its slump, two games were lost to Hingham by large scores. Al- though the boys scored enough runs in these two games to win three or four contests, Hingham's heavy sluggers were not to be out- done, and no Plymouth pitching could stop the barrage of hits that rang from the opponents' bats. In the return game at Rockland, the Plymouth team was set for re- venge, and victory seemed certain when, in the sixth inning, success- ive hits brought in seven runs to put our boys in the lead. Even Darling, Rockland's star hurler who came in as relief pitcher, could not stop the hitting streak, and two of the first three batters to face him hit safely. Then the question arose as to Vecchi's right to score on a passed ball and, as no agreement could be reached, the the game was called. In the last two games a com- pletely reorganized team out-hitted, out-smziqrted, and out-played two of the best teams in the district. Heavy hitting, and daring base running by the Plymouth team, were the ruination of three Middle- --- ,X pn- ,- uf boro pitchers, with the result that a fourteen to nine victory was chalked up by the local team. This same snappy brand of baseball rrought an eight to six victory to the home team in the game with Bridgewater, and at last a wining combination seems to have been assembled. Two games still remain to be played, and victories are ex- pected by the home team.

Harriett Donlevy: Happy specializes in the hun- dred yard dash and as anchor man on the 440 relay. It must be the stride she has, but a Scotch- man timing her helps her to cross the finish line in the lead. The girls appreciate the help that Mr. Smith has given them. He was rather disappointed in the team at first, but now he has to admit he feels a little proud of those girls who helped to win the new shield.

The only great blot on its record is the decisive defeat suffered at the hands of Fairhaven, a much larger school, that found Plymouth in low spirits and easy to beat. Although this was due to poor representation, Plymouth took only third place at the indoor meet held this winter. The defeat was revenged by a great victory over Abington, the winning team, in a dual meet held on the Lincoln Street playground. The home team piled up points in the running events to win by a sixty-eight to twenty'-seven score. All claims to championship were upheld when the Plymouth boys came home from the Brockton South Shore Inter-Scholastics with the shield of victory, champions for the third successive year. DELMO ENAGONIO 730 IN RETROSPECT Looking back over the year's ac- complishments in the field of sport, we find the Plymouth High has been a power in the athletic con- tests on the South Shore. To begin With, the football championship gained by last year's team was not only retained, but retained in a spectacular manner. In doing this a most remarkable record was established, a record of Scoring three hundred and eight- een points while remaining un- defeated and unscored upon. In basketball Plymouth also had a very strong team, winning all except three of the scheduled games, one with Tabor, one with New Bedford, and another at North Attleboro. The Hrst two losses were revenged by stirring victories when these teams jour- neyed to Plymouth. At the Brock- ton Tournament the Plymouth team played several good games, being beaten in the final game for the championship by the narrow margin of one single point. Another championship was an- nexed by the swimming team at the district meet held this winter in the Brockton HY . The baseball team has been play- ing a very inconsistent game, los- ing to weak teams and beating the stronger ones.

Surely, with a group of ambitious Boy Scouts the world is truly small. Jules Verne could easily be beaten at the Jamboree. The maps at the Jamboree were different from those of today, so a trip around the world was sure to be different. We obtained per- mission to leave the American Camp on a prolonged leave of absence, and crossed Wild Boar Alley into Germany. There we met our friends practicing camp- fire songs, and, as far as the was concerned, English language 1 they needed plenty of practice. we crossed an- From Germany other ocean, The Sea of Mud, and found ourselves in Chile. The reception was rather cold as we found no one at home. From there we meandered over to an inviting country, being met on the line by a smiling Czecho- Slovakian who showed us his camp and friends, speaking fluent Eng- lish all the time. From Czecho-Slovakia we slid down to solid ground, Holland. The Dutch boys had rigged up a device to shovel away the mud, and we stayed a long time in their country, taking advantage of the solidity of the ground. Turning, we entered Denrnark's back-door and there across that sea was the good old U. S., but we had barely started. India with its magnificant gate- way and beautiful topographical maps proved intensly interesting. The natives did also, speaking English like natives. Japan was our next port of call, and, while we were busily engaged in examining one of her fish- shaped flags, we were suddenly i in Qbfhvr 'Elanha 2 2 gouirriuiwbitxi'riuizxiqqpuiuiui-10102021ri 11054111memoirriuiuiuqbuinizooo surrounded by the worst pests of all times. They weren't the Japa- neseg they were autograph seekers. After escaping them, we encoun- tered an American friend who had his arm in a sling. He greeted us with a wave of that arm and glee- fully explained that he couldn't sign another autograph book. It took some time for us to get the real significance of what he said, but he was only trying to deceive other people, not us. Jamaica greeted us with ba- nanas-and then we saw Belgium. Rows of tents and patrol flags gave a homelike appearance. France with its Eiffel Tower surely was interesting. It stood about fifty feet high and was a striking landmark. This architec- tural marvel was made of staves, lashed together with twine, a true scout-like project. Ireland was next with its unique hut and drinking fountain where everyone was invited to fill up with irish Scout Spirit. Then we went from Hungary to Scotland. The Scottish bag-pipers favored us with a few tunes, where- upon we expressed our desire to blow one of the instruments, but the boys were very careful of their wierd-sounding bag-pipes. Canada was the country of marked efficiency and team-work. All her equipment was in the best of shape and order. London, with its Tower Gate built to the plan of the famous Tower Bridge, and Sweden with its hospitality and fun! Suddenly we heard a loud ex- plosion. War? No, only the signal that one more day was over. We trudged back to America thorough- ly exhausted but happy at having seen all that was possible and at having made some new friends. Oh! for another day like that one! W. R. BURNS, '30, 0.0 46 THE PILGRIM 9 ! i g Autngrapbzi Gilman nf IEIEH ! E ! Q ! E 5 6 E E ! ! ! E ! E E E E 9 E E 9 E E Q 5 E E !
