All about the Class of '3I, yelled the small boy laboring tediously under his great pack of papers almost as large as himself. Read all about the graduating class of P. H. S. in full detail . Here, boy, one paper, called a passerby, as he heard the familiar words of P. H. S. Stanley Gil- bert, President of the Class of '27, handed the boy a nickle, retired to a park bench, and opened the paper. Well, well, if here isn't a reprint from The Pilgrim , of the Class History, composed by Emma Wirzburger and Argio Rebuttini! Why, it must be that my little Freshman friends are ready to go forth to conquer the world. Now let's see what has happened to them since I left school. NEW PRINCIPAL To GREET FRESHMEN !! When the Freshman class en- tered the Plymouth High School in the year nineteen hundred and twenty-seven, they were greeted by a new principal. In this year Wayne M. Shipman assumed the duties of this oflice, and because of his kind and helpful attitude to all, he at once won the love of his many pupils. With his coming, many changes commenced to take place. The introduction of the Wool- worth Plan for the purpose of supporting student activities, was vastly aided by the Freshies who generously UD offered their dime each and every week. And may wonders never cease! It was in that year that Pete and King Fratus found their name engraved upon the first Honor Roll of the year. Their sensibilities were visibly shocked, and there was no recurrence of the event dur- ing the next three years. To this very day Elsie Danti re- grets the evil impulse which made her ask a real Indian Chief to give an Indian War Whoop for her, while he was engaged in lecturing on the customs of his tribe at one of our assemblies. The overwhelming success of the Chinese Dragons Ccomposed of groups under three leadersl in compelling their victims to sub- scribe to a magazine, the profits to be used for furthering school sports, displayed excellent sales ability in our class even at this early stage in our career. FOOTBALL CHAMPSU Although we had passed through our first year of probation, we were doomed again to be the lower classmen in our Sophomore year, for at this time the two-session plan went into effect. But we were somewhat consoled when Charlie the First placed the Plymouth High School in the limelight by producing a cham- pionship football team, the first in many years. It was during this year that Dot Covell came to school one morning with her new bob! Mr. Consodine thought he had a new boy in his class, but he soon dis- covered his error. Bruno Zangheri, through his un- usual musical and histrionic abil- ities displayed in The Mikado , brought unforgettable glory to his Alma Mater and to himself. The establishment of the Nation- al Honor Society in our school at this time was not of immediate concern to the Sophs , for mem- bers were not eligible until they were in their Junior Year. SUCCESSFUL JUNIORSH The Jolly-Juniors entered their third year of high school with the intention of doing greater things, and their aim was realized. The school paper fably sup- ported by these same Juniorsl was awarded the shield for the best school publication in the South- eastern League. Some of our class members numbered among those on the staff were Kay Davis and Gilda Cappannari, while several articles included in the issues were written by the thirty-onersf' Once again fthis time under Chief J we were recognized as the Football Champions of the dis- trict. Of course, much of the credit should be given to our class, for wasn't the cheering squad chiefly 6 THE PILGRIM composed of our members? Some of those games certainly were dusty! To the entire satisfaction and approval of all, none other than our own Sparky was elected captain of the next year's football team. It was at this time that an odd combination of facts was noted. A teacher. often had to shout in order to make Sully hear, but, he al- ways heard any whispered com- ment made by one of his class- mates. The Voodoo Minstrels and the Crimson Cocoanut displayed more ability in our class. Tommy as an endman, and Bruno as a Russian Count brought forth much applause from the audience. The Junior Promenade was sponsored by our class. For days there were comments about the school to the effect that it was the most successful and the best money-maker of any ever pre- sented in the history of the school. The hall was effectively trimmed in blue and white, the work of Dick Young and his staff, who showed all the characteristics of successful interior decorators. The boys and girls who were ushers at the Senior Commence- ment exercises looked so very dig- nified and stately that we could easily visualize them on their own graduation night-only one year away. 1931!! And so came the last year of our enrollment in our beloved school. To the Football Champs for a third successive year we tendered our Senior Dance, which was one of the best-attended affairs of the season. Some of our girls under- took to present a performance sim- ilar to that of the boys on the field, a football scrimmage-and Alice almost forgot she was supposed to be injured. Invited by A. R. Parker to visit his plant, two bus loads of Seniors traveled noisily to Bridgewater where the process of pasteurizing milk was demonstrated and ex- plained. The refreshments were most welcome to all. The ride home, especially in the second bus, will long be remembered. It Pays To Advertise , the school play, was presented in the spring, Mary CPoodlesJ Tracy, as the heroine, and Katharine Bur- gess, the French madamoiselle fwe don't believe she knew a word she was saying. We didn't.J were two of the outstanding players. Why did the bus going to Whit- man for the girls' basketball game return to P. H. S.? Oh, yes, it neglected to wait for Schnupps , Em, Jo, and some of the players. A most beautiful aiair, in the matter of decorations, was the Spanish Fiesta, for the first time held under the supervision of the Seniors. Moonlight dancing in a Spanish garden-visions of Spain! Every class has its Romeo and Juliet. Ours is no exception, we hope. Tie A Little String Around Your Finger was especially writ- ten for Jo Nunes. Very appro- priate, we must say. The deeds of certain members of the Class of 1931 deserve especial mention: Bobby Armstrong has been our Class President for four years, a record very seldom equalled. Antone 'fSparky Spath has the distinction of being one of the finest athletes ever graduated from P. H. S. ,He has helped to uphold the standard of good sportsman- ship among the players. Katharine Kay Davis filled her Secretaryship exceedingly well, and, as Editor-in-chief of The Pil- grim , has won a high place for herself in everyone's heart. Emma Em Wirzburger has been particularly efficient in guard- ing the Class Treasury. Bruno Zangheri, our future operatic star, did splendid work in The Mikado , the Crimson Cocoa- nut , and It Pays To Advertise. To the strains of My Class of '31 the lirst class to come and go under Wayne M. Shipman's super- vision, said farewell to its Alma Mater, and, diploma in hand, on June 18, 1931, prepared to take the world by storm. Well, well, one year is much like another, after all, though no class realizes that at the time, and THE PILGRIM 7 with these words Stanley Gilbert folded his paper and went on his way. Emma Wirzburger Argio Rebuttini LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT BE IT REMEMBERED that We, the CLASS OF 1931, of Plym- outh High School, in the county of Plymouth, Commonwealth of Mass- achusetts, being of sound mind and memory, fdespite the peculiarities of ancestors who could allow a Seven Years' War to endure for one hundred years,J but knowing the uncertainty of this jazz-ridden life and knowing that w-e are destined to be overrun by this sudden visita- tion of Baby Austins which, locust- like, are devastating our Pilgrim sod, do make this our last will and testament, hereby revoking any and all wills or promises heretofore made to any person or persons with that rare characteristic of having believed us to have been serious: To MR. SHIPMAN: Loud applause for your gift of seven-period days, for two of which, may it be remem- bered, we willingly dug deep, and brought forth a shining copper. To MRS. RAYMOND: Our sincere appreciation of your efforts to penetrate our minds with the fact that the verb to be never-never- takes an object, and with the fact that we should really follow Hamlet's example in acquiring the habit of thought. To MR. SMILEY: A set of new and serviceable biology books, to save the worthy steno's the duty of preparing his information re- garding the actions of man and the reasons why fish have bones in such inconspicuous places. To MR. FASH: A group of P. G's who will not insist on submitting their knowledge of the S. O. S. upon the poor innocents of Room I. To MR. YOUNG: A pal. We al- ways wondered where Bud Fisher conceived his idea of latitude and longitude. To MISS DOWLING: A book on architecture, that you may culti- vate your interest in the aforesaid field. To MISS WILBUR: A few more Deacons' and Dicksons' to play the jester in her Fresh-Men classes, who unanimously declare Latin to be Very essential to their vocabu- lary. To MISS KELLY: A group of en- thusiastic office girls who will not expect kindness in return for close harmony, and also a folio of song hits in which Sweet Jenny Lee is not included. To MISS J UDD: A stop watch. It will be much more practical in dic- tating for speed, and wrist-watches will not have to be borrowed. To Miss LANG: Our hope that she has enjoyed her first year as teacher in the school which she at- tended as a high school pupil. To CHIEF BAGNALL: A fire ex- tinguisher, which may aid him in preventing woods fires, which, we understand, some lofty senior may start by wearing a pencil over his ear. Wood against wood causes friction, and so we are in danger of tires. To MISS RIES: A Baby Austin to convey you safely to and from school. It will be more enjoyable: time schedules and dimes can be ignored. To MRS. SWIFT: A caddy, or, perchance, an assistant to carry your wire rack from room to room. If not suitable, a traveling bag may be obtained by registering request with our class treasurer. To MISS HELEN C. JOHNSON: An encyclopedia to be used in answer- ing innumerable questions for- warded by Clarence Fortini. To MISS BAKER: Some talented musicians to participate in the juggling of the French vocabulary set to the tune of the Marseill- aise. Possibly it would be wise to donate a pitch pipe to aid the violinist and singers to find the right key. However, all's well that ends well. 8 THE PILGRIM To MISS LOCKLIN: A pair of gloves, fpreferably not whiteb, to be used in pounding the keys of the piano in an effort to extract music from its injured organs, without soiling your hands. To MISS CUMMINGS: Adequate room to accommodate the young would-be housewives in preparing that Home you love to see. To MRS. GARVIN: Two worthy co-captains to maintain the morale of the teams, and praises galore from Monsieur X CUnknown quan- tityj, of the Big Red House, to be bestowed upon your Charlie To MR. SMITH: A new manager to execute faithfully the demands of the Woolworth Plan, and a new set of initials that will not tempt the young flighty things to call, HJ. Hy? To ALL FRESHMEN TEACHERS: Courage: Rome wasn't built in a day. To the CLASS OF 1932! OLII' lockers: they may need a cleaning, but they are worth it. A warning is issued, however, that you do not buy keys unless you wish to employ a locksmith to open the locker doors for you. To the CLASS OF 1933: Lots of room. You'll need it if people in- sist upon having one-way traffic Ceach has his own idea of which way is The 0129.5 To the CLASS OF 1934: Self- controlg your spirit of independ- ence is not to be exercised in the presence of your superiors. - To CLARENCE FORTINI: Sparky's physique to be exercised on field and iioor, and you will soon become a brawny hero in the eyes of every- one. Have faith: Big oaks from little acorns grow. To FRANCIS BROADBENT: A billy club to aid you in teaching those who insist upon scratching the varnish of P. H. S. grounds, that you mean business. To JOHN BRADFORD: Mary Gray- son to share his weary moments, and to accompany him as he ma- nipulates his car UD along the Hillside Boulevard. To HTIPH CAVALLINI AND HIS ASSOCIATES: A good round half- dollar that you may all obtain a haircut suitable to your size and shape, but not in the style of the Kollege Kuts. To ADELE COHEN: The book en- titled How and Where to Use Cosmeticsf' There's a time and place for everything. To PHYLLIS SMITH: The right to succeed Miss Edna Wallace Hopper. Tune in at 2:30, Station BLAH, and you will be astounded at what may be accomplished with the tongue in a very short space of time. To PETE FERIOLI: A profession that suits your abilities. As a woman-hater you're a fake, and dog catching is not a promising position even for a man possessing such taking ways. To RUBY JOHNSON: A car with yellow wheels with a dashing young Romeo in the driver's seat. To EUGENIA MORTON: High hopes that her heart's desire will come true. They say that Scotch- men are tight. We wonder in what respects? For further information apply to Anne Harlow, who knows Scotchmen rather well. To DONALD MCLEAN: A new sweater: red and white pulls too much at the heart strings of the girl who knows who really owns the one you are wearing now. To THE GIRLS: John Sears, the Myles Standish of the Senior Class, with Thomas Dries to impersonate John Alden. To ONE WHO MAY BE INTER- ESTED: Ridhard Young's office. Will it pleased be notice that it is not specifically noted in which ofHce duties are to be executed? To THE OFFICE GIRL: A dashing young blonde of the male sex, with the request that she exercise in- fluence upon his choice of profes- THE PILGRIM 9 sion. A farmer's life is not the life- To KENNETH TINGLEY: Louis Stein leaves the following sen- tences to be correctly punctuated in such a manner that they make sense: 1. Put a dash between Boots and and and and and Shoes. 2. That that is is that that is not is not is that not it it is. 3. John while James had had had had had had had had had had had the approval of the examiner. On this sixth day of June, 1931, we do hereby in the presence of: Bridget O'Flynn Dangerous Dan MacGrew declare this to be our last will and testament, and as witnesses thereof, we two do now, at the request of, and in the presence of each other, hereunto sign: SEARS AND ROEBUCK Dorothy F. Covell Thelma C. Birnstein THE FUTURE Class Prophecy IN high spirits because we had just purchased a brand new 1951 model radio-powered plane, my pal and I decided to put her to good use. Twenty years had elapsed since graduation from Plymouth High School, and we considered it high time to find out just how our classmates were faring. Our first port of call was Washington, D. C., to which, in increasing numbers as the years passed by, many of our friends who had always been con- sidered ambitious and political- minded had migrated. , Unlike many who visit the Cap- itol, we had a very personal reason for paying our respects at the White House. During our school days we had rarely seen Katharine Davis upset by the pressure of her many duties, and now, as private secretary to the president, she was her usual calm and efficient self. She ushered us into the presence of the chief executive of the nation, Robert Armstrong, just as Verna Hurle and Viola Hunter were leav- ing. They had presumed upon their personal acquaintance with the president to ask him to use his au- thority against Alice Lema, Eliza- beth Hayes, and Mary Ryan who insisted upon using the radio in their apartment from dawn till dark in the faint hope that they might again hear the voice of Bru- no Zangheri. Bruno was with the Metropolitan Opera Company, we discovered, but upon rare occasions he broadcast negro spirituals' for the Calnan KL Landry School for Girls. On our way out we met a very well-dressed gentleman who seemed familiar, and then we both real- ized almost at the same time that this distinguished personage was Thomas Dries. We learned that he was a lobbyist, and that he was about to try to convince President Armstrong that Argio Rebuttini should be granted a monopoly in the retail fruit business. Wishing him luck, we trundled over to the U. S. Mint where Richard Young ruled as head of the Dime Department, Gilda Cap- panari acting as his assistant. The department had been showing a neat profit since the day when Richard had accepted the advice of lVIary Tracy, famed financial wiz- ard. She had instituted the idea of a new rate of exchange-eleven new dimes returned for each tat- tered dollar bill-to any high school pupil who could prove that h e was a regular contributor to the Ten-Cents-A-Week Plan. We found Louis Stein in charge ol' the Department of Perplexing Problems. Here he operated a sort of national information bureau- and guaranteed within forty-eight hours an answer to any and all problems troubling any citizen. He had been appointed to this oflice di- rectly after he had leaped to fame by refuting the Einstein Theory and advancing the simpler Stein Theory. Many of the problems that were received by Stein were sent for solution to a sub-bureau in charge of Jane Burns, who used the new Burns Equations in finding the value of X. 10 THE PILGRIM We then entered our plane and flew to a town that we knew very well to be the well-ordered and peaceful town of Plymouth. We hovered over the Shipman Memo- rial Field where a ball game was taking place and were finally able to distinguish the figure of Sparkie Spath, manager of the Clam Town Cubs as he instructed A. Scag- liarini in the fine art of hitting home runs. The one-man cheering squad we could easily recognize by the voice. It was our old friend, Joe Sullivan. On another part of the field spring hockey practice was in ses- sion with Mary Deans as instruc- tor. She had called in Josephine Nunes and Dorothy Covell for a demonstration of how it was done in the good old days. We landed at the Plymouth Country Club where Instructor Vickery was endeavoring to show John Donovan how he made two holes in one shot. The expression on John's face was both dubious and admiring. These two gentlemen forsook their game long enough to tell us how to get to Balboni's Barber Shoppe. There we found the pro- prietor administering a Sea Wave to the tresses of Hilda Goddard. We were forced to leave when Mr. Balboni became too insistent about the merits of the Balboni Zip. Simply because we went to school with him was no reason why he should feel hurt because we were unwilling for him to practice upon us. In the same building we saw in gold letters Govi-Imported Gowns. Through the window we caught a glimpse of one of her models-Agnes Feci. And we had never suspected that she had a secret passion for clothes! On the floor below we found Ceccarelli's Cleaning and Pressing Emporium. The proprietor was trying to convince Iris Campbell that he could clean her rare cob- web dance slippers, but Iris thought cob-webs were inclined to be too perishable. Iris' companion, Thelma Birnstein, insisted that Iris could take Mr. Ceccarelli's word in view of the fact that he had had a repu- tation for honesty in his high school days. Once again upon the sidewalk we met Elsie Danti, who graciously allowed us to escort her to Crossley's Market where she pur- chased ham from pigs that had made perfect hogs of themselves- and this was no bologney. Elsie invited us to dinner at her house, and remembering that Elsie never did things by halves, we accepted. The dinner was good. Later that evening we ambled down to MaXwell's Community Playhouse where a mirth-provok- ing comedy by Hanelt SL Arthur was in progress. Katharine Burgess was the leading lady, but she shared honors with Ruth Armes, the comedienne. Pathe News showed pictures of Robert Holmes at his Florida home. These days his name meant power-and he was giving the children-not dimes-but quarters. During intermission we pur- chased a Daily Pole , an out- growth of the old Saturday Even- ing Post. We noticed that the cover design was one of great merit-and then quickly realized the reason why. It was by Muriel Anderson. And the largest adver- tisement described the merits of antique furniture made by Martin- elli's Patented Worm-Hole Borer. After the show we hurried over to John William Reed's Candy Store for something good to eat. J ohn's ofiicial candy-taster, Eliz- abeth Venturi, very kindly made us a present in memory of old high school days. It was a five-pound box of Reed's famous Plymouth Rock Candy. Pleased by the spirit which prompted the gift, we sought the owner and compli- mented him upon his business abil- ity. CAfter we left, we sampled the candy. It was made of Quincy Granite.l On the way out we passed the cashier's desk. Black eyes gazed at us suspiciously as they noted the package in our posses- sion, for which, of course, we hardly felt it necessary to pay. In fact, we weren't even going to ex- plain until we recognized the eyes. They belonged to Addie Scaramelli. In the course of the conversa- tion that followed, Addie informed THE PILGRIM 11 us that relatives in England had willed Fannie Zavalcofsky five thousand pounds. She had decided that she was heavy enough and had given the pounds to Sarah Skulsky before she realized that pounds meant money-not weight. With the money Sarah immediately bought out Ethel Dretler's Depart- ment Store and induced her sister Rose to leave a position in Boston in order to work for her. It seemed that Sarah had grown very quiet and reserved. She no longer liked to talk to people. Rose was to in- terview all the salesmen. Wanting more amusement, we strolled over to the Casino where Ameglio Fortini held the amuse- ment concession. Two of the high scorers at the bowling alleys are Dorothy Siever and Marguerite Raymond. Incidentally these girls had made money and were now en- gaged in spending it. They had bought a certain aviation stock which had gone up for an endur- ance record. Then we found that Manager Pratt of the local A Sz P was hav- ing a sale on dog biscuits. He rec- ognized us as possible customers, and launched into a sales talk so convincing that we bought fifty pounds before we remembered that we had no dog. We couldn't carry our purchase with us, Pratt re- fused to store it, so we sent it home by Lawrence's Interstate EX- press. Gordon Barke ran up to us and asked us if we would help him. He wanted to show the crowd a trick with a little electric device that he had invented-but he could find no one to try it on. Gordon looked so appealing that we consented. Briefly-we found ourselves in the Jordan Hospital twenty minutes later-but Gordon escanped unin- jured. The trick hadn't worked be- cause our heads had made such perfect dry cells. The superintendent of the hos- pital, Doris Saracca, was in the room next to ours. Ever kind, she was reading stories to Irene Sassi, who had sprained her hand when she slipped on a banana peel in her eagerness to discover the identity of the tall man who had just moved to town. Frances Talbot was also a patient in the hospital. She had collapsed when her good flriend, Phyllis Morse, told her that she had decided to move to Duxbury. Helen McCormick was there, too. She had laughe-d herself sick one night while listening over the radio to Martha Kabelsky's famous laughter. When she learned that we were in the hospital, Arlene Vassar brought Madeline Northrup to call upon us. And Arlene was not driv- ing a Ford these days, but a brand new Lincoln. Madeline said that she had just received a post-card from Josephine Longinotti who was taking advanced work in French at the Sorbonne. We learned that Emma Wirz- burger had recently been elected Head of the Commercial Depart- men in Plymouth High School, and in the same building Dolores Guido- boni was holding sway in Room 10. Later we had another visitor who came bearing a huge basket of the choicest fruits. Eunice told us that she had just learned of our ac- cident from Evelyn Sloan who had stopped at Cavicchi's Consolidated Fruit Store to buy a thingama- jigger, and she had hastened to ex- tend us her sympathy. She tried valiantly to cheer the invalids with small talk, during the course of which we discovered that Evelyn Everson had not yet married a certain Big Boy, but that Hazel Raymond had married her saxo- phone player and was living happily ever after. And knowing very well that all good pieces of highly-imaginative writing con- clude with that happy-ever-after stuff, we hasten to write Finis. R. King Fratus John H.

For their rank was one with graces And they kept us in our places As was right, for they were ending what we'd only just begun. Refrain: They were veterans in the battle that we'd only just begun. II We passed our first year nobly and each freshman called us Master , As we smiled at all those children and their puerile pranks, For our station rose above theirs, we were moving toward the vaster Realms where we should be the leaders and the highest in the ranks. We now had greater knowledge And were thinking about collegeg We were mighty marching sophomores and superior in our ranks, Refrriiru Mighty marching sophmores much superior in our ranks. III We all stepped boldly forward to another higher place, Juniors with great brain power and giants Cof a kindj, We dared to vie with seniors and could beat them in the race And they knew it-but they simply smiled as though they didn't mind. , We raised our banner higher Joyous juniors filled with fire We soon would be commanders with more serious thoughts in mind, Refrain' Seniors, senatorial s-eniors with more serious thoughts in mind. IV We sallied to our classrooms with our eyes turned from the sun, Stately, subtle seniors with our goal in view- We were lords of each new freshman, sophomore, junior every one, And were persons to be honored as the strictly chosen few. But in June our pride forsook us And a gripping grief quite shook us We were seniors pure and simple with our schooldays nearly through. Refmiii: Smiling seniors pure and simple very sad at leaving, too. Now we go but we'll remember All our days at Plymouth High. Teachers, comrades, worktime, playtime, Peace be with you all! Good-bye.

She had said No! -refused to let me go bare- footed. I, who had always been first. Would I fail this year? Give it up, tell them I couldn't? Oh, Temptation, go from me lest I de- base myself by shamefully disgrac- ing my ten-year-old self. I must be a man! My thoughts were interrupted. A roll of thunder? Surely my im- agination had carried me too far. No, there it was again. All thoughts fled from me but one. That thunder-would it or would- n't it? I hastily ran down to my old Grosmudder, Had she heard? Yes! That was my big day and, as I look back, I laugh. Would that I were a boy again! My Grandmother was saying- By us in Germany storms vas al- vays coming. We nefer knew ven. Yah-yah-, and she went on talk- ing of her childhood days. I heard her, but everything seemed far away, distant and funreal. My thoughts were elsewhere. Every- thing was quiet, but for the roll of thunder. Occasionally a flash of lightning illumined the dark room for, in words of my Grandmother, By Us in Germany we alvays pulled down shades. Mine mudder call us all together und such stories she tell us, - and once more the old lady was off, her face aglow as she recalled her past. Whenever a thunder storm ap- proached, I always ran to her. We counted the peals of thunder to- gether. Would it or wouldn't it? That was the question. If only it would! Oh Thunder, do your duty! My fate lies in your hands. Finally I interrupted the old lady. Why won't it, Grosmudder? Won't the men that roll those barrels let me if I'm good ? All she said was, Sh! Listen- ein, zwei,-ach du Lieber! Only vunce more, mein shutzf' Once more all was quiet. The rain came down-such a monot- onous atmosphere. Oh, would I were in Germany! Would that thunder-? But wait, I must be patient, must not lose my faith. Generally sh-e was right. I looked at her. A sudden light had come into her eyes. She uttered one word, Count! I did-in her tongue, Ein, zwei, drei! The last Word I spoke tri- umphantly. Grosmudder! It's come,-the Thunder did it-three times. Yah, yah, she said, Es is come. By Us in Germany ven the little men roll thunder barrels ein, zwei, drei times, then es time for little boys go barefoot, and by Us in Germany- But I stayed no longer. I had conquered! I was no failure! I would be the Hrst to appear bare- foot. The thunder and Grosmudder with her stories of By Us in Germany had turned the trick. I went back upstairs, two steps at a time, with all the joy and glee of a happy kid saying to myself, Ein zwei, dreig Ich lieber dich! THELMA BIRNSTEIN '31 A SENIOR'S SOLILOQUY ONE more month of school-I count the days on the calendar, but-somehow the thrill of getting out of school is gone. I wonder what it can be like- days of no books, no desks, no teachers, nights of no homelessons. I do not care now if it is the end of school days for me, but, as I muse here, I wonder if my heart is at all affected by this sudden change. It will be when school re- opens in the fall, and I see the 24 THE PILGRIM army of children marching off to school-and I shall not be one of them. There were sorrows in my school-days, sorrows that seemed very real and big then, but now I vaguely remember only a few of them. There were happy moments, too-moments when I felt repaid for my pains and labors. I'll never forget that time, in the second grade when I turned on the drinking faucet and the water shot up to the ceiling soaking the teacher and most of the classmates near me. Just think-this is the last time I'll sit up far into the night, wrack- ing my brain for an idea for a short story. Well, I can safely and thank- fully say I'll carry away with me no regrets, no broken promises, no sad thoughts, but that I have in- side me a comfortable and satisfied feeling that I have done the very best I could-and so- what must be-must be. E. HAYES '31 LIFE WAS, WONDERFUL ARIEL tripped lightly down the street. There was a smile on her pretty face, for Dick Carlsan had just asked her to go to the Prom with him. Reason enough for any girl to be happy. Dick was the idol of the school, the captain of the football team, tall, straight and good-looking. Who wouldn't be thrilled? If Phyllis Carter knew, wouldn't she be wild! She and Carlsan had been great friends once, but that was all over now, and he had asked her, Ariel Wain- wright, to go to the Prom! Life was wonderful. Ariel hummed a happy little tune as she walked along. Well, where are you going in such a che-ery mood? a cheery voice greeted her. Ariel looked up. Phyllis Carter of all people! Oh, I didn't see you, Phil, Ariel apologized. I-I guess I was day-dreaming. Quite obviously they are pleas- ant ones! Are you going to the Prom Saturday ? Oh, yes! replied Ariel, I'm on my way down to Websteris to buy some new pumps-silver ones to match my dress. Are you going '? You bet! The honorable Mr. Carlsan has requested the pleasure of my company. lVIr.--Mr. Carlsan! Why not? He asked me last week but I refused. I was expect- ing Bill to come down, but he wrote and said it was impossible-'aw- fully sorry and all that.' Oh, well, beggars cannot be choosers, so I just called Carlsan to say I'd go with him after all. You just called him ? Why are you staring at me like that? Isn't Carlsan all right? Of course, Bill is better and- All right! Of course he was all right! The old cat! She's just try- ing to make me jealous. She knows that Carlsan just asked me! Phyllis Carter, I could slap your face! Well, dear. I must go along now. I'll see you at the Prom. Who is calling for'you ? Ariel blushed and inwardly cursed herself for being such a fool. Oh, never mind if it's a secret, but he must be wonderful to make you blush like that. With this final shot, Phyllis was gone. Ariel no longer sang, she no longer smiled. Cat! she stormed. Old cat! That's all she is! I'll call Dick up the minute I get home and- stamping her foot angri- ly- Honk! Honk! The girl looked up. Dick! Hop in, Ariel, he greeted. Going home? Seated in Dick's roadster, Ariel ventured to remark, I hear Phyllis is going to the Prom Saturday, too. That so ? . Dick Carlsan, you know very well she's going! You're as bad as she is, and I've a good mind to get right out and walk! Second fiddle- that's all I am! Ariel was saying breathlessly. Why, Ariel, I don't understand. You're going to the Prom with me. Aren't you ? But-but I thought you were taking Phyllis. She said- Oh, I see, but you've made a THE PILGRIM 25 mistake. She's going with Let Carl- san, the kid cousin, you know. Your cousin ? questioned Ariel in a weak little voice. It was all right then! Phyllis wasn't going with Dick. Ariel gave a little sigh of contentment as she snuggled closer to Dick's broad shoulder. Life was wonderful after all. MURIEL ANDERSON '31 YOU SHINE FOR US When we were ready to give up the race, To let the other fellow forge ahead, You have been there, to spur us on, You've been our guiding star, Aglow there in a world of darkness, Discontent and selfishness, To tell us you'd be ever proud Of every honest deed we could achieve. How small that act might be Was naught to you, If it meant sacrifice, unselfishly bestowed- We were repaid an hundredfold.

Dr. McAndrew has been reading his- tory and finds that the founders of our government had very definite ideas regarding the position of general education in the scheme of -things. Briefly, their conviction was that this nation, a democracy, depended on an enlightened public opinion for its existence and pro- gress, and that an intelligent public opinion depended on a general edu- cation of all the people. In accord- ance with this conception, Con- gress included a provision for edu- cation in the Ordinance of 1787 and subsequently various states adopt- ed laws for the establishment of public schools. The greatest argu- ment against the public support of education was then, and I sus- pect still is in some instances, that Mr. Jones, who has no children, should not be obliged to pay taxes for the education of Mr. Smith's son and daughter. This argument would be valid if Mr. Smith's son and daughter were the only ones to receive the benefit of their educa- tion, but the fact is that, theoretic- ally at least, they are going to be better citizens because of their training, and thus contribute to the upbuilding of the community in which they reside. Certainly Mr. Jones would derive benefit from their contribution to the better ordering of the state. Now what has all this to do with the members of the graduating class of Plymouth High School? Simply this. The townspeople of Plymouth have been paying for your education for twelve years. As far as the last six years are con- cerened, it would have cost you from S5800 to S1200 a year to have received similar instruction 26 THE PILGRIM in a private school. What is going to be your return to the town for their investment in you? Those of you who have done your work thoroughly and are prepared to do something useful have kept faith with your parents and the other citizens of Plymouth. Those of you who have not done your best, and, unfortunately, there are some, have not played fair with those who made it possible for you to continue in school. But leaving all that aside, I trust your high school days have brought to you some conception of the prob- lem of living together in a commun- ity. Not only through certain studies but also through experi- ences, you should have learned that intelligent and patient cooperation is the only reasonable and practical way of managing the affairs of any group. Therefore, I say to the Class of 1931, that it is my earnest desire that when, in the very near future, they become voting citizens, their influence for good will be marked. There is much to be done. Many difficult problems are still unsolved, for nobody at present seems to know how to find the answers. The future lies in the hands of thous- a.nds of young men and women, who, like themselves, are about to have the opportunity of showing whether or not the community has made a good investment in educat- ing them.

A kitchen nook where two can eat, 'Tis a kitchen small I'd make my retreat!

He stood for all the good and all the right, He had played the game since first his life began, They shouted forth his praise with utmost might- But in his soul he still was just a man. A man of loves and hates and haughty pride, Who yielded to temptation now and then - But Folrtune lingered always at his si e, And so he rose and led all other men.

June 12, 1931 Dear Anne, You really missed something by not coming to our school play. On Friday, April 17, P. H. S. pre- sented It Pays To Advertise , with a good cast coached by Arthur G. Wooley, which is almost every- thing which needs to be said about any school play. Have you been feeling 'well lately? We hope you have-but, if not, we have a machine here that will grind all your troubles away in a minute. What am I driving at? Just this. Three of our playwrights, Lillian Arthur, Lydia Hanelt, and Ruth Armes, wrote a clever health playlet entitled The Health Ma- chine . It was first presented at the Memorial Hall on April 10 and then on the following Monday it was repeated for us in assembly. It told the story of a group of people who didn't know how to be healthy and happy and who made all those around them uncomfortable, too. A good fairy appeared to them with a magic machine, and, when she had finally persuaded each of them to step into it, she- ground away their ills and they became a happy crowd once more. The Senior class was in charge of th-e Spanish Fiesta this year. The hall was attractively decorated with brigth colors. Elizabeth Samp- son received the prize for the prettiest costume, she wore a graceful white silk Turkish cos- tume. Florence Probst was dressed as a hobo just off the road. She wore a dog collar around her neck and a torn derby, and she received the prize for the funniest costume. George Haigh received a prize for the handsomest one, his was of red and black, that of a Spanish caballero, complete with a bandana and sombrero. The music was good, and from the general atmosphere we think everyone had a good time. On Thursday, May 14, we went to assembly not knowing just what was going to happen. We found there Dr. Paul Wakefield of the State Department of Health, who spoke to us about tuberculosis. It sounds like a dreary subject, but Dr. Wakefield was far from boring. He told us not to be afraid of T. B. because it is easy to prevent and, if contracted, with the proper care our bodies will cure it for us. He gave us five ways in which to pre- vent and to cure T. B. 1. Get as much Fresh Air as possible. 2. Eat Good Food. 3. Rest is Important. 4. Get Sunshine foutside and in, be happylj 5. Have any infections such as bad teeth, tonsils, or adenoids at- tended to. In the fall all the pupils whose parents have consented are to be examined for tuberculosis, and, if necessary, ex-rays will be taken free of charge. Parlez-vous francais? It doesn't matter-but we want to tell you about the French assembly we had on Monday, May 17. The different French classes sang a few folk songs and then there was a play, Rosalie . Fred Banzi took the part of M. Bol, a proud man of small means who wanted to make an im- pression upon an old acquaintance in order to gain social standing. Mme. Bol was interpreted by Ruth Sears and the part of Rosalie, the stupid maid, by Annette Chapman. If you had heard us laugh, you would have thought we understood every word, but it was because we appreciated Banzi. We are sorry that we won't be able to write to you again, but, as we sail on the 19th, you can see that there isn't much time left. Very sincerely, Nan and Fran The editorial staff of The Pil- grim regrets to announce that the short story, Free Confession printed above the signature of Hilda Goddard '31, has been proved not original. 28 THE PILGRIM FROM A GRADUATE State Normal School Bridgewater, Mass. February 23, 1931 Dear Pilgrim : As a member of the editorial staff of The Pilgrim, it was some- times my duty to solicit letters from members of our faculty and others. I never thought, however, that I should be asked to write for publication. Since no definite sub- ject was suggested, I shall have to select one that is constantly before me. The subject on which I shall touch is the profession of school teaching. So many people think that a teacher merely walks into a room, opens a book, and asks Johnny how much eighteen plus seven is-these same people do not realize that the teacher must teach Johnny two hundred and forty-iive simple addition facts before he can do the problem. It is rather diflicult to imagine children as problems. However, one of the tasks of a teacher is to sum- marize each pupil's individual faults and charactaristics--and that is no easy thing to do. One does not have to be a mem- ber of this school long to sympa- thize thoroughly with the teachers he has had in the past. The school teacher of today is a well-trained, well-educated pro- fessional-one who must follow higher education constantly. Per- haps that is the secret of success in any business-but certainly it is in school teaching. School teachers must keep up-to-date through con- stant studying. This subject could be the basis of a ten-column article without even scratching the surface. It is an extremely interesting way of employing one's self. In conclusion, however, may I say that a good high school background is inval- uable, but this background comes only through student cooperation with the teacher. Advice of this nature seldom is heeded in high school-however, it does not take many months of experience after graduation before one says, Oh, if I had only studied harder in high school! . Sincerely, I Kenneth A. Cameron 1 1930 Pilgrim Staff 1931 7 o' l- ll. .0 - nn' . fs..

The football team, despite pre- dictions, brought the South Shore Championship to Plymouth High for the third successive year. This our boys should repeat for the fourth time next season, for the entire varsity will return With the exceptions of Captain Spath and Sullivan. The basketball team had a poor season, but with the entire varsity coming back-all We say is- Watch out. The track team has also been Weak, but, since the entire team is returning, maybe they, too, will do things. Plymouth High swam away with the Brockton Y swimming meet for the second successive year. We're expecting another shield next sea- son as the same team will return. The baseball team has hit the Winning column after three defeats and, barring the unexpected, it ought to stay in it. All the varsity will return With the exception of. uscag-19 BASEBALL CN the thirtieth of April, Plym- outh High opened itse baseball season by losing a close game to Middleboro with the score 4 to 2. --.2 ima rr Couran--2 FOR YOUNG MEN Burdett College offers Business Ad- ministration and Accounting Courses as preparation for sales, credit, financial and accounting positions.

HANCOCK 6300 THE PILGRIM 31 This game was in reality a pitchers' duel with Kraus of Middleboro having a slight edge over our own Speed Johnson. Kraus allowed three hits while Johnson was found for five. Two days later, on May second, the team journeyed to Hingham. For two innings our boys enjoyed a one to nothing lead, but then er- ractic support and inexcusable errors paved the way for an 11 to 1 victory for Hingham. The following Saturday, Rock- land was our guest. After holding Rockland at the short end of a two to nothing score for seven innings, a single with three men on, which an error turned into a homer, cost our boys a 4 to 2 decision. On the sixteenth of May, Middle- boro was sent down to defeat by an 8 to 4 score. Kraus again did the twirling for Middleboro and was found for six safe hits, while Bossolari on the mound for Plym- outh was found for nine. The following Monday, the un- defeated Hingham team journeyed to Plymouth. With our boys hitting everything in sight and Johnson pitching fine balls, Plymouth High was victorious by a 9 to 6 score. In the last two games our boys have improved greatly. While strong defensively, our boys have been rather weak offensively. This weakness is being rapidly over- come, and, behind the sterling pitching of Bussolari and Speed Johnson, our boys ought to go places in the remaining seven games. How To Hit With Your Eyes Closed, by Speed Johnson, is the latest acquisition to our athletic library. How To Run Bases With The Aid of Horseshoes and Rabbit Feetf' by Harry Haley, may be found on the top shelf. GIRLS' TRACK TRACK practice has begun in earnest, as those of you who have been about the building on Monday, Wednesday, and Thurs- day 'afternoons at 3:30 have ob- served. This year some excellent talent has been unearthed, and it is hoped that, with practice, the coach will be able to select a winning team. Listed among the contests are the running broad and the high jumps, relays, and the basketball throw. The dates of the meets have not yet been definitely ascertained, al- though a contest between two chosen sides, each captained by one of our older tracksters, has been arranged for practice. This affair promises to be interesting as the teams are very evenly matched. Let's wish our track team the very best of success for this season! Is the motion seconded?

Chaque garcon avait apporte de chez lui quelque chose 5: manger et apres avoir partage la nourriture, ils mangeaient, tous. Avez-vous deja vu le nouveau garcon? demanda un des garcons. Je l'ai vu avec son pere dans une grande auto, dit le chef du troupe. Il ne vaut rienf' , Non, reprit un autre, ses ongles sont toujours propres, ses cheveux sont toujours brosses et il va a l'ecole en autof' Les filles pensent qu'il est gentil parce qu'il est si poli, mais je crois que, s'il voyait un souris, il courrait un kilometre, dit un autre avec mepris. L'objet de cette conversation etait Percival Lane qui etait recem- ment venu habiter la grande mai- son blanche sur la colline. Quoique les ga.rcons ne le sussent pas, Per- cival etait tres malheureux. Il vou- lait jouer avec les autres garcons, et il ne voulait pas etre toujours poli. En voyant les garcons jouer il se demandait souvent ce qu'il pour- rait faire pour obtenir leur amitie. Une occassion siest bientet pre- sentee. Un jour, quand il allait le long de la route dans son auto, il a vu les garcons voler des pommes dans le verger de M. Dubois. Il avait vu M. Dubois venir sur la route et il savait qu'il decouvrirait les garcons. Vite, il fait arreter llauto, il descend, et court les pre- venir. Les garcons s'enfuient et Axcis A ,f f Kwik Is.

Apres cela Percival devint un membre du troupe et il apportait beaucoup de bonnes choses a manger de la grande maison blanche. Les garcons decouvrirent qu'il detestait les Hlles, et quant aux souris-lui n'avait peur de rien-ni meme du bouledogue de M. Dubois! MARY RYAN '31 NGTRE ASSEMBLEE FRANQAIS Le dix-huit mai, les eleves des classes de francais, sous la direc- tion de Mlle. Baker, ont presente un divertissement. Apres que Phyllis Morse avait lu le Psaume XXIII en francais, les garcons de la premiere annee, aides par Bruno Zangheri, ont chante Le Petit Navireg Bruno Zangheri et Kenneth Tingley chan- tant les r6les du capitaine et du petit mousse. Les Iilles de la meme classe, menees par Marguerite Reed, en costume paysan, ont pre- sente une autre vieille chanson, Il Etait Une Bergeref' Puis les autres classes de fran- cais ont chante Il Pleut, Il Pleut Bergere et Bruno Zangheri a chante une des plus bell-es chan- so-ns que nous ayons apprises- Ma Normandie.

Bol-jouee par Ruth Sears Rosalie, la bonne stupide--joue-e par Annette Chapman C'est une piece tres spirituelle et amusante. Au lever du rideau nous voyons M. Bol qui est en habit. Il est tres agite car il attend une visite de M. Poulot a huit heures. Il vient de rencontrer cet ancien camarade de lycee et il explique a sa femme comme il importe de le bien recevoir. C'est un homme tres riche et influent qui peut aider M. R01 a sfavancer. Rosalie, la bonne des Bol, tres bete. Ils essayent de lui ap- prendre at ouvrir la porte et at noncer M. Poulot mais elle tellement stupide! Quand Rosalie casse une tasse du service neuf, les Bol la grondent dlune facon inouie. Ils lui otent sa sortie de dimanche, lui refusent lfaugmentation desiree, comblent la pauvre fille de reproches. Soudainement on sonne. M. Bol cc-mmande a Rosalie d'aller ouvrir la porte. C'est son moment-a elle! Rosalie se revolte! Ils ont beau lui faire des promesses, lui donner de l'argent-Rosalie reste ferme. Il nfy a qu'apres lui avoir fait meme des excuses que Rosalie consente at ouvrir la porte. Elle a gagne tout ce qu'elle veut. Rosalie va ouvrir, mais pensez- y,-elle revient sans M. Poulot! est an- est Apres toute cette agitation, ce n'etait qu'un monsieur qui s'etait trompe d'etage. Bien que b-eaucoup des eleves de l'ecole ne sachent pas le francais il parait que, grace au resume donne en anglais, et grace au tal- ent des acteurs, ils ont suivi l'ac- tion et se sont bi-en amuses.
