132 THE themselves to reli-eve this need, and are publishing a Junior Pilgrim . The one issue which has as yet been printed, was received with great enthusiasm by the student body. The members of the boys' basketball team have had a successful season, win- ning a large majority of the games. Al- though they lost the Brockton Tourna- ment, Mansfield, the winner, does not take the cup permanently, and we shall have another chance next year. The girls' te-am went through the season un- defeated. For this achievement, the members of the first team were given small gold basketballs. Miss Wilber's Latin Club held an all- day picnic at Manter's Point last October. The club also held a Christmas Party just before Christmas in the Lincoln Street School. At this time the Freshman Latin classes presented a short play and gifts were exchanged. The serving of r-efreshments closed a most enjoyable evening. The Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, Pirates of Penzance, was successfully PILGRIM produced in Memorial Hall on April twenty-eighth to an audience of most enthusiastic music-lovers. Much credit should go to Mr. Wlooley, to Mrs. Buck, and to Miss Locklin as well as to all members of the cast. The ticket-selling campaign was like- wise a success. Competition between teams was great. The winning team was captained by Warren Sampson and Elizabeth Wood. Paul Warnsman, E. Manzotti, and M. Regal are the cham- pion ticket sellers in the school. Many pupils are looking forward to the two coming social ev-ents of the school, the Freshman Dance, scheduled for the fifth of May, and the Junior Prom, planned for one week later on the twelfth. Committees are at work plan- ning for both of these occasions, and we expect as enjoyable and successful evenings as in past years. Now we must say Auf Wiedersehenn until next year. Marjorie S.

This column, therefore, will be a review of the year's happenings to date. Class activities began, as usual, with the election of officers. The presidents are: Class of 1933 Gilbert Harlow Class of 1934 Joseph Stefani Class of 1935 Albert Padovani The Class of Nineteen Thirty-three started its senior year by giving a dance early in November. This was very suc- cessful and well attended. Then on Friday evening, April seventh, the Senior Class presented a one-act play, The Valiant , in the small hall in the Memorial Building. The pro- ceeds are to be used toward defraying the cost of this issue. The hall was crowded, and each and every one who at- tend-ed appreciated the work that must have been necessary to the presentation of such a finished product. Dancing followed in the large hall, with music by Volta's Orchestra. In spite of the crowded conditions in the morning session, we have had many unusual assemblies. Early last fall, Miss Dorothy Goodenough, who was not long ago a teacher here, since then a teacher in the American College for Girls in Athens, gave a most interesting talk on her experiences in Greece. Milton J. Schlagenhauf of North- eastern Univ-ersity, and Mr. Weasley of Burdett College have each spoken to us on college and our life Work. At an- other assembly Mr. Squires of Boston showed us some unusually interesting slides on Where the Oregon Flows. The boys of the school have also had an assembly of their own, at which Mr. W. H. Dunn of the Nautical School spoke to them. As an introduction to his course of health lectures at the Memorial Hall, Mr. Julius Gilbert White spoke to us at one assembly. His interesting lecture aroused in many of us a new interest in, health. Another very interesting talk wasg given by Professor Bartlett of the His- tory Department, Tufts College, con- cerning the value and cost of educationffj Our own orchestra played for onegg assembly in February. Despite the factii-.Q that its numbers were greatly de-Q creased by the epidemic of colds it gave a very interesting concert. Mr. Shipman has given us a series of short assemblies, in each of which he has stressed a point of importance in our school work. The boys in the operetta missed an al- together different assembly at which Mr. H-endry, father of our new domes- tic science teacher, showed us many of his paintingss with which he illustrated some of the requisites of a good picture. From Duxbury have come two fine speakers. The first was Mrs. Daven- port who spok-e to the Senior Class on the life and Works of Gilbert Stuart, the famous man who painted George Washington's portrait. Later Mr. Sey- mour spoke to us conc-erning the life of Shakespeare, including in his talk some of his own personal experiences while acting in Shakespeare's dramas. The honor society took charge of an- other assembly, at which new members were initiated. The new members are: Seniors-Iris Albertini, Victoria Brewer, Ferdinand Fiocchi, Evelyn Johns, John Santos. Juniors - Florence Armstrong, Marjorie Belcher, Ruth Buttner, Shirley Dutton, Jeannette Martin, Robert Mar- tian, Josephine Montinari, William Brew- s er. Following the plan started last year at Christmas, every home room in the school filled a Christmas box for a poor family. These boxes, which were deliv- ered on the Friday before the holiday, brought joy to many families. The Christmas assembly this year was in charge of Mrs. Raymond's Junior English class. Miss Margaret Kyle gave a Christmas reading which was followed by a tableau vivant of The First Christ- mas. Although the results of the games were not so successful as we could have wished, this year's football season was very exciting and well Worth the at- tendance of all football fans. There has been no Student Council this year, but five members of the Junior Class attended a Student Council Con- ference at Durfee High School in Fall River. From the enthusiasm which re- sulted may com-e a revival of Student Council next year. Realizing our need of a school publi- cation, two Juniors, Robert Martin and Carlo Guidoboni, have taken it upon

Because- of Mrs. Garvin's careful grooming, the team was able to hold its own throughout the season. Seven games w-ere played with out-of-town teams. Our victories numbered five, and there were two games which ended in a tie. Marked improvement was noted in thepplaying of Marion Zandi, Bertha James, and Gus Cappella, while Leah Alberghini lived up to her last year's reputation. 1 Below is the schedule of games played, with the final score: Team Place I Scores Scituate here 1-0 Bourne there 1-1 Kingston here 2-1 Hyannis there 0-0 Bourne here 2-0 Kingston there 1-0 Hyannis here 1-0 Basketball The girls' basketball team remained undefeated throughout the season for the second consecutive year, and as a reward the school presented the girls xvith gold basketballs, each ball bearing the name and position of the player. Bertha James and Leah Alberghini were high scorers, and a sophomore, Helen Brewer, made a very capable c-enter. Of the six games played, the most in- teresting was the home game with Bridgewater, which, as you will see from the chart following, nearly ended in a tie score. .

Baseball Baseball on a larger scale is the plan this year. The girls are to have their first baseball team, and inter-class games are being organized. Tennis Although tennis has not yet started because of the condition of the court, plans for a tournem-ent have been com- pleted, and many names have been re- ceived from those desirous of entering the contest. Play Day Plans are also being completed for a grand play day to be held here at Plym- outh, with members of other schools as our guests. An invitation to attend has been ex- tended to every member of the high school. Personals And so we ramble on- To say that Perhaps we're wrong but we think Rosa. had something to tell B.
