Barbara Mellor CLASS COLORS Yale Blue and White CLASS MOTTO Respice, Adspice, Prospice CLASS FLOWER Larkspur and White Rose Hzktory of the Clays of 1935 IT is the duty of any historian, whether he is writing an account of the Peloponnesian War or the history of his class, to record facts and events without embellishing them with the fruits of his imagination. His statements should be unbiased. Love for country, race, or class should not be allowed to color his words. In the past, class historians have been prone to extol the endeavors of their class, and to leave untold their failures. We, however, shall attempt to play the role of a real historian. Our history shall be free from hyperbolic statements and undeserved praise, nor shall we omit those events which cast no favor- able reflection upon us. With this in mind we proceed to record the events of our first year in Plymouth High School. As freshmen, we were an unpresuming, yet hopeful, class. We found very few opportunities to prove our worth, or to learn from ex- perience. As freshman classes before and since have d-one, we took charge of our own assemblies, and several rather good plays were produced. Some of us participated in the Pilgrim advertis- ing contest and assisted in financing that publication. It Was in this year that a section of the Pilgrim was very generously given to us, and it was edited byastaff composed of freshm-en. The one successful event of our first year was the freshman dance, the planning of which was entirely in the hands of the faculty. Thus our freshman year ended without our having either disgraced or distinguish-ed ourselves. The second year was even less event- ful than the first. We plodded through the year without playing an important part in any school project. Therefore the historian can not be held responsi- ble for the brevity of this chapter of our history. As juniors, with a newly acquired f-e-eling of importance, our hopes rose. There was some excitement this year concerning the choice of class rings. When this matter had been settled, we decided to choose our class colors in- stead of waiting until we were seniors. Our choice, green and silver, was used in decorating Memorial ,Hall for our Junior Prom. This occasion, we can truthfully say, was a success socially and finan- cially. Very little assistance except that of a supervisory nature was given us by the faculty, although we later learned that a faculty member reminded Mr. Shipman to remind our class pres-ident to remind us that the Junior Promenade was a Junior class responsibility, or it might never have taken place. Our class ring, also, was selected in the Junior year. And we recall that, when the Honor Society Initiation occurred, we w-ere somewhat perturbed to see that only girls, seven of them, were elected from our class. Continued OH page 15 THE PILGRIM 5 RANDOM ALBERT ALBERTINI Albert knows his baseball, He's good in studies, too- Challenge his decisions And see what he will do. WINSLOW ANDERSON If for every ship you've drawn You had earned two sous, You could buy a real one And take us on a cruise. ALICE ANDRADA There's sure to be some fun Wherever she may be, But be careful of her temper, It's just like T. N. T. OLGA ANDRIETTI Reticent is the word, She hasn't much to say- But we notice when reports are out Her marks are mostly A. ROBERT APPLETON He wants to be a lawyer- We hope his dreams come true, If we ever get in trouble, Bob, We'll bring our case to you. DORIS ARDIZZONI Doris, you think, is very shy Until you know her well, Then you'll find she's lots of fun As all her friends can tell. SHAFTS ALICE BARUFALDI She's helpful and competent, This little girl so wise- Smiling and joyous With a sparkle in her eyes. ANDREW BASLER For dancing, Basler has a Hair, He surely has that savoir faire - In fact, the critics all declare He'll be the ruin of Fred Astaire. CHARLES BAUMGARTNER We hope this rhyme won't get you In bad with pa and ma, But tell us, Charlie, who's the girl You take riding in your car? ENIS BERGONZINI From the looks of her clothes And the way they fit, We take it that Enis Likes to knit! LUCY BERNAGOZZI She made a red sweater, A white one, a blue- To all it is obvious To her flag she is true. MADELINE BERNARDO With that fiaming hair And winning way, While the sun shines She's making Hey . 6 THE PILGRIM JEAN BEYTES Good things come in small packages Is a popular saying, we find- The person who had that idea first Must have had Jean in mind. RAMO BONGIOVANNI Now that you're a big boy We give you this advice, Sticking out your tongue, Ray, Really isn't nice. JAMES BOYLE Jimmie goes whistling Throughout the livelong day, He doesn't always look it, But he really must feel gay. MARJORIE BRADFORD Everybody likes her, This 'statement needs no proof- And while we're at it, Margy, Why do they call him Boof ? HELEN BREWER To ride horses, to play golf, Is fun for this girl so tall, And when it's baskets that we need, She's right there with the ball. JAMES CADOSE Jimmie scorns La Garbo, He sneers at Miss Mae West, Jan Garber's wailing music Is what he likes the best. M ARJORIE CANTONI Margie is the chubby girl Who drives a Ford V-8, She tried to bribe us not to say She always gets there late. STEPHEN CAPPANNARI He may be right Or he may be wrong, But he can argue The whole day long. ANTHONY CARAM ELLO Folks, meet Stevie's nurse- maid, A man both tried and true, And at the Old Colony Theatre, He will usher you. JOHN CHAPMAN Chapman is our silent lad, Apparently quite shy Until he starts to labor with His photographic eye. LENA CHIARI You've heard the simile, As neat as a pin - Any contest for neatness Our Lena would win. JAMES CLARK Don't try them on us, Jim, For we've often heard Your list of excuses- And some are absurd. THE PILGRIM 7 CHARLES COOPER Cooper is our essayist And our speaker, too, Since he's a willing worker, We give him lots to do. JOSEPH COSTA He wants to spend his life In barber's long white smocks, We wish you lots of luck, Joe, When you snip unruly locks. GINO CRISTOFORI He makes life most diHicult For the would-be poet, If he has a weakness, I-Ie's careful not to show it. ANGELINA DE TRANI Angie serves at recess time- Some day she will get caught, She tries to sell cold frank- furtcrs - By telling us they're hot. JAMES DEVITT A sign of temper Is red hair, But your outbursts Must be rare. DAVID DIAS Dizzy and Daffy you may not be In the days to come, But David Dias has the D's And that may help you some. . SARAH DILL She has a very friendly way, We all know that is true- And Amby , who's from Brockton, Apparently knows it, too. BEATRICE DUBE If there's any business Or shorthand to be done, If you want a typist, Bea Dube is the one. ERIC ECCLESTON Eric soon will write headlines And burn the midnight oil Instead of planting pines i And producing from the soil. EVELYN ELLIS A vote of thanks We owe this lass, For writing the poem For our class. MALVINA EMOND Blue-eyed girl and blue-eyed dad Capering down the hall, They know the very latest steps To demonstrate to all. ATTEO FERAZZI He is athletic, A wizard with the ball- But, Teo, why so bashful? We don't hear you at all. 8 THE PIIJGRIM HELEN FINNEY We don't see much of Helen, She lives in Chiltonville- We used to call her Peanut And Peanut fits her still. NITA FIOCCHI She liked Horatio's type, she said, In English class one day- You might look up your Hamlet, boys, It's an idea, anyway. ARMANDO FORTINI Fortini is a quiet boy- In school time, we might add, For when he is at dances He is a playful lad. FLORA FORTINI She doesn't like dance music ? The idea is absurd- Every orchestra is O. K., But Loring's is preferred. DORIS FRASER Doris has a diamond ring Which she proudly dashes, y And every day in Ge01'g0 S car Around the town she dashes. NORMA GALLERANI Norma wants to be a nurse, We've been often told, If you're ever feeling ill, Give her your hand to hold. ELSIE GARUTI She avoids much trouble Because she holds her tongue, In quiet words and simple Her praises should be sung. ROBERT GLASS We've always held It isn't fair For boys to have Such curly hair. ANNA GOLDBERGH Anna comes from Palestine, And that's where she longs to be, She hopes some day she can return To her home across the sea. JEANETTE GOODWIN Riding is her hobby, What she wants, of course, Is a real live charger- Not a hobby-horse. TERESA GOVI Tessie can dance And Sampy can sing, Together they rival Ginger,' and Bing , VINCENT GOVONI Govoni and his harmonica Make an inseparable pair- For wherever you find Govoni There's sure to be music there. THE PILGRIM 9 LAWRENCE GUERRA If you want information About Plymouth Rock, Hunt up Hickey Guerra And listen to him talk. MANDO GUIDOBONI First it will laugh and chuckle, Then it will moan and groan- No, it's not an apparition- It's Mando's saxaphone. A LM A GUIDETTI Inclined to giggle, Inclined to talk, But in girls' sports She Wins in a walk. JACK GUIMARES We must say you've changed a lot Since your freshman days, For then you turned a Vivid red When you niet a lady's gaze. ESTHER HALEY Esther plays the fiddle In the orchestra at school, Really she is full of fun, Though she's quiet, as a rule. EDWARD HALL He's such a very quiet lad He would create a panic If he should some day just stand up And yell with voice titanic. GERTRUDE HENNING Gert is our class tomboy, She dresses like a man, With her lovely golden hair We don't see how she can. LUCY HOLMES Lucy has a petition, It's little enough that she asks: More hours in the day or days in the week To complete her innumerable tasks. ALONZO JAMES It's easy to remember And so hard to forget That in the field of sports He's our safest bet. FRANCES JOHNSON Lively eyes and dimples deep Frances possesses, She may as well use them She shyly confesses. WARREN JOHNSON He told us this himself, Strange though it appearsg If he doesn't want to hear us, He will close his ears . NANCY KABELSKY As you go down the corridor, If you see some curly hair And hear a little giggle- You'll know that Nancy's there. ll LLL L M A RG UERITE K ETCHEN Marguerite is the little girl Whose pig-tails you have seen, All she needs is a lolly-pop And some chocolate ice- cream. M A RJORIE KIERSTEAD Maybe she can sew a seam, Maybe she can cook- But her greatest pride and JOY Q Is her history notebook. KATHERINE LAHEY Katharine calls for helpers For she is overworked, But when she checks up on them, She finds that they have shirked. HILDA LA VOIE Hilda and Elsie Are together each day, Whether at work Or whether at play. JOSEPH LAWRENCE The Emerald Isle is famous, So is the Isle of Capri , But Joe feels an isle on the Azores Is really the best place to be. OLGA, LONGINOTTI Olga works in Buttner's, And she's a good clerk, toog When we need some shopping hints, We'll all come straight to you. THE PILGRIM JAMES LOUIJEN The b-r-r-raes of bonncy Scotland Have lost a bonny lad- Jim came to America, Which makes us vera gl-l-lad. ANN M ABBETT Ann is always happy- She has a smile for all, And, if you hear a titter, Why, it's Ann in study hall. CHARLES M ACCAFERRI The power behind the throne, A second Bismark he- To sartorial perfection He holds the golden key. ERM ES MANZOTTI Whenever we've needed music For a school affair, We have summoned Ermes And music filled the air . OSCAR MARSH Oscar, the pride of Ellisville, Is a lanky ladg Tries his hand at many things- But radio's his fad. BRADFORD MARTIN To this weighty problem For an answer we are look- ings He does so much in every sport, When can he practice cook- ing? THE PILGRIM 11 CARROLL MARTIN Carroll is an usher At the Interstate, He will guide you to your seat If you come in late. ROLAND MARTIN The Dionne quintuplets Have risen to fame, Our Martin triumvirate Must do the same. ROBERT MARVELLI Girls, take warning! Watch your step- He may seem shy But he's full of pep. JEANNE MAYNARD We're sorry, Jeanne, That you Went away, And sincerely hope You'll come back some day. GERALD MAYO Can this be Daddy Long Legs, Or it is Ichabod Crane? But, anyway, with those long legs He'll never miss a train. MARION McGINNIS You fear oral topics? Then how you must hate To recite in your classes And engage in debate. 1 JOHN MEDEIROS Willing heart and willing hands We ascribe to you, For you have shown us both On occasions not a few. FRANK MELLO Frankie knows his onions, His peas and apples, too, He's always ready with that smile To sell his goods to you. BARBARA MELLOR To run a dancing party? To decorate the hall? To play watch-dog o'er our treasury? Barbara Mellor's at our call. ELIZABETH MORDT Whenever we are planning To put on some affair, Play, assembly, operetta- Bettie's always there. VINCENT NERI That Vinnie is a quiet boy If far beyond believing, Though he often looks that Way, . . . Appearance is deceiving. LESTER NICK ER SON Deeds, not words Is this boy's creed, Not a bad one For us to heed. 12 THE PILGRIM ELSIE OTTANI Dark and winsome She's always sweet, Smart and smiling And rather petite. ALBERT PADOVANI Parliamentary procedure He was forced to acquire, Now to the state senate He well may aspire. AMELIO PASOLINI Many strange nicknames We have heard, But calling you Peanuts Is really absurd. WILLIAM PEARSON He doesn't rave and tear his hair, He doesn't sit and pine- But his life is one mad scramble To get work in on time. MANDO PELLEGRINI Quiet here and boisterous there- He is a contradictiong As to which adjective fits best We have no real conviction. CHARLOTTE PIERCE No matter what trouble Charlotte is in, She soon overcomes it With her cheerful grin. NELLIE PIERCE She lives her life Without making much noise, But she enjoys Saquish And baseball with boys. EARLE PIMENTAL We think we've solved your problem The very best way to date: Just swap your smile for Mayo's legs- And then you won't be late. HELEN PIRANI Smartly dressed Our Helen is gay, Correctly attired At work or at play. JAMES PRATT Pratt is fond of cooking, He makes both cake and pie, For he can eat whate'er he cooks- Maybe that's the reason why. ANTONIO PROVINZANO Does he get excited When he's keeping score? When we make a basket, He promptly yells for more. ARTHUR RAGAZZINI The girl of his choice, He confessed in class, Must be a pretty But not clever lass. 13 ANITA REGG IANI Anita is a little girl Who's always in a rush, Ask her where she buys her g'as If you want to see her blush. AURORA REGINI She did her part in hockey In basketball and track, We can see for every sport She surely has a knack. DARIO ROMANO He seems gay and indepen- dent To the struggling masses, But we'd also look like that If we had but two classes. MARY ROSSETTI What can we say of Mary? She's small and rather shy, And greets you with a cheer- ful smile - Whenever she walks by. NATALIE RUBINSTEIN Her interest in clothes She comes rightly by, She made our Christmas players Most pleasing to the eye. VIRGINIA RYDER Gentlemen prefer the blondes We have often heardg This assertion must be true, For Ginnie is preferred. , JESSIE SANDERSON It takes a lot to ruffle Jessie- For with eye and mind both keen She goes about her business Always placid and serene. WILFRED SANTERRE If the day is sunny, Or if there's rain or snow, He will take his pop-gun And a-hunting go. ERMA SEARS Erma's never happy Unless she can ride, A horse and a habit-- These are her pride. MARGARET SIMMONS Meg is quiet and reserved, And always when she's sit- ting, If she isn't doing homework, We'll bet you'll find her knit- ting. HELEN SMITH A hasty inspection Of the covers of our books Shows that without question Hers are worst for looks, ERNESTINE SQUIBI3 Ernestine has been with us For just a little while, Although she is a quiet girl, She wears a friendly smile. 14 THE PILGRIM ARTHUR STRASSEL We have it from a Junior That he's her perfect man, But Artie only smiles and says, 'fLet her catch me-if she can! 'WARREN STRONG How Warren Strong must have envied Browning's Herve Riel! For Herve didn't have to go to school To become an admiral. LOUISE SYVIFT She likes to ride, Plays tennis, too, There isn't much She doesn't do. RUTH TINGLEY Tinker often dances, Tennis she enjoys, She's very fond of riding- And also fond of boys. NELLO TORRI In studies Nello has attained An envied reputation, An how Miss Carey did enjoy His French pronunciation! DONALD TRACY When he tells of his exploits We hold our breath with pride, Baron Munchausen's second rate When Tracy hits his stride. ARTHUR MARGARET STRASSEL VALLER MARGARET VALLER Margaret comes from Mano- met, The distance isn't great- And though she's often ab- sent, She is never late. RICHARD VOGHT When he had his picture taken, The photographer opined That he would take the best of all- His face was the right kind. CHARLES WALL On a stormy day near the sea, With a gun or two to shoot, That's where Charley wants to be To kill a duck or coot. ALBERT WALTON From Atlantic to Pacific He's been within a year, For the title of class traveler This boy's without a peer. ESTHER VVHITE A little girl With curly hair, A dance in town?- Then Esther's there. RUTH WHITING If to class you'd carry A shiny megaphone, Your right answers could be heard And your wisdom known. His golden eaglet He proudly displays, In scout activities He spends his days. Always giggling, Always gay, Whatever is it Keeps you that way?

ROGER WOOD Roger is not always sure About the parts of speech, But life has its compensa- tions- Some subjects he could teach. EDNA WRIGHT In work or play We like her style, She is earnest All the while. Continued from page 4 Fin-ally our last year arrived. At first we were pleased with our exalted posi- tion, but we soon discovered that there was plenty of work attendant upon our new advantages. Unaccustomed as we were to assuming responsibilities, we were overwhelmed at times by the prob- lems confronting us. Our first endeavor was the Senior Dance held a few days before Christmas. Although the com- mittee worked long and earnestly, the d-ance was not well attended and conse- quently the profit was not great. The Christmas assembly program consisting of seve-rval living tableaux of Christmas carols prepared in two weeks, was our most successful stage production-since it Was our only one. Although, as a class, we did not dis- tinguish ourselves in athletics, several members have won praise. Among our football heroes were Arthur Ragazzini, Bradford Martin, and Andrew Basler. Atteo Ferazzi and Gerald Mayo were proficient in basketball, While Bradford Martin, our most outstanding player, won a trophy for his excellence in shoot- ing fouls. The only outstanding mark of effi- ciency demonstrated in our Junior year, the cho-osing of our class colors, Was un- done, when, as exalted Seniors, we ex- ercised the privilege of changing our minds, rescinded the vote, and decided upon blue and white. These colors we shall use at our class banquet, on com- m-encement and class night. With many regrets that our history is not a brilliant account of many worthwhile deeds and startling successes, we bequeath our de- termination to tell the unvarnished truth to the historians of the class of 1936. A LUCY HOLMES p p THE 16 p ,, Last Will and Testament HAVING successfully battled our way through four years of Depression and unsuccessfully looked around cor- ners for Prosperity, we, the courageous and overworked class of 1935, do hereby bestow the following humble it-ems upon a most deserving faculty which has guided our staggering steps toward graduation during these last four years: TO MR. SHIPMAN: Adarkroomforthe purpose of demonstrating to the Camera Club the methods of developing and printing pictures Cwhen there is a new P. H. SJ. To MRS. RAYMOND: Another Stephen Cappannari to furnish subjects for ar- gumentation. TO MISS BROWN: A carload of cough- drops to be used the morning after a game. TO MR. BAGNALL: A sound proof room Cwhen ther-e is a new P. H. SJ so that La Marseilles will not disturb his history classes. To MISS CAREY: The biography and works of Gertrude Stein for the delec- tation of her French classes. To Miss WILBER: Courage with which to flaunt public opinion so that she may ride her bicycle in Plymouth. To MISS JUDD: A ke-ep-out sign for her classroom door. It might eliminat-e those trying interruptions during short- hand dictation. To MR. SMILEY: A new book on the advanced methods of grunting. To MR. YOUNG: Twelve lessons in drawing for the purpose of enabling the agricultural classes to distinguish pigs from hens. TO MR. ALBERTIN: Three Cheers! He has proved that it is possible to change horses in mid-stream successfully. To MISS KELLY: Rubber heels for her shoes, if she really wishes to discov-er who's been talking. TO MRS. SWIFT:A special alarm clock to wake sleepy Sophomores on Mon- day morning. CAt any time when she has no use for it, Miss Wi-lber might like to borrow it.J To MR. PIOPPI: An orchestra minus just a few violins. TO MISS RAFTER: Ancient Histori-es minus the story of the Persian Invas- ions. We're sure this will me-et with the ' . I lI1f1fillVl., 1 .-- 1 approval of the Sophomore history students. To MISS LOCKLIN: A room large enough to hold her math classes fwhen there is a new P. H. SJ. To MR. SMITH: A shiny new bus to furnish transportation for the girl- friends of the basketball teams. We believe this will relieve the minds of the boys and enable them to play a better game. To MISS JACQUES: A new French word to substitute for maintencmt. To MR. MONGAN: Apologies for the fact that our College Board English class may have d-isturbed the industri- ous Freshmen. TO MISS DOWLING: An invitation- not to a dance-to come across th-e street. We never see her in the main building. To MISS MCNERNY: A yardstick. It will save her steps. TO MISS HUMPHREY: A policeman to direct traffic around her desk at 12:30. TO MISS LANG: Bubblers in her class rooms as an aid to her throat. To MISS JOHNSON: Typewriting books beautifully illustrated with pic- tures of Clark Gable and Mae West. This will undoubtedly eliminate Eyes on your books. To MISS CooMBs: A padlock for the office door to keep out would-be helpers To MRS. GARVIN: Appreciative spec- tators for girls' sports. To THE FRESHMAN FACULTY! Our promise that we'll vote for a new school when we're twenty-one. TO THE CLASS OF 1936: A deep, dark secret. CSh-shl Mrs. Raymond will use you for guinea pigs in her psychological experiments. Don't say we didn't warn you! To THE CLASS OF 1937: A memory book. Did you forget a Sophomore Hop? To THE CLASS or 1938: Roberts' Rules of Order for class meetings. We hope you won't need it-but we believe in preparedness. Signed, sealed, published, and de- clared by the above-named Class of 1935, as and for their last will and test- ament, in our presence, and we, in their presence at their request, and in the presenc-e of -each other have her-eto sub- scribed our names as witnesses to the same: Pop I.

Glowing Praise exudes from the headlines. Fire Chief Charles Baum- gartner successfully battles blaze for four hours.-No,-w-e've mixed the headlines. He started out to quench the coniiagration, but was diverted when he slipped on the skin of a banana which had come from James Devitt's fruit wagon. Minor calamities perpetrated by our errant chief were: upsetting Amelio Pasolini's iieet of peanut wagons, running over Carroll Martin's whiskers Che finally grew somej, and slightly damaging a truck load of eggs en route to Wilfred Sant-erre's Grocery Store. Among the last-minute bulletins is a communication from Washington, D. C. fDepartment of Chiselersb which states that Stephen Cappannari, w-ell known for his palliation by specious reasoning, has succeeded in jamming through the Senate a bill which prohibits using non- union labor in the pickle-packing indus- try. Another bulletin r-elative to the same subject says that James Clarke, eminent broker and believer in the op-en shop, asserts, Wall Street is due for another panic. This up-start will ruin our pros- perity. Our forefathers got along with- out unionizing pickle plants, so why can't we? Edward Hall, John M-edeiros, and Alb-ert Walton, well known soap-box orators, were this morning incarc-erated in the local hoo-segow because of a de- nunciatory speech directed against the bill. They will be defended by Robert Appleton, well-known lawyer. An interesting item from Timbuctoo tells us that Robert Marvelli, the famed linguist, who left here last year on a sight-seeing trip to foreign lands, has finally found someone to pay his passage to America.

JAMES A. LOUDEN CHARLES I. COOPER l The editors wish to express their indebtedness to the Com- mercial Department for typing the copy for this issue of The Pilgrim. 22 THE PILGRIM PROSPICE A new kind of book was pres-ented to me recently by the publishers. It is called Understanding America . This book, which is a collection of essays dealing with various phases of Amer- ican life, is intended to give the reader information whereby he may become ac- quainted with the many aspects of American civilization. I am impressed with its significance, designed, as it is, to help young people visualize many of the problems which must be solved if they are to make satisfactory progress to- ward the development of that type of society which is not only desirable but also possible in a democracy. To under- stand America and its ideals seems to me the crying need of the times. Every thoughtful person, young or old, must be aware that our civilization is con- temporary, ever-changing, and is lead- ing us on with a force and sweep, the ul- timate goal of which is not yet in sight. Therefore, it becomes our duty as well as opportunity to prepare ourselves for useful citizenship to the best of our ability and go forward with our minds open to truth, new or old, whenever or wherever it may be presented to us. Why is this necessary? Because democ- racy is a matter of growth and has not yet reached maturity. Dr. Arthur E. Morgan, pr-esident of Antioch College, states that Democracy is not just a form of government, but a complex social achievement . By that he means that all should share in the wealth and opportunity which society creates, each to the extent which will promote the greatest total welfare. That is a splendid ideal, isn't it? Yet too many Americans have failed to appre- ciate it and have sought to escape from the common lot to a privileged status. This is contrary to the purpose of de- mocracy and has given rise to a spirit of acquisitiveness, false standards of estimating individual worth, and over- emphasis on material wealth. True de- mocracy is possible only with the de- velopment of high individual character and finds its expression only as individ- uals identify their own welfare with that of men in general . If we believe that this is true, then it seems to me that our first duty to democracy is to understand it. We should develop out- looks and appreciations such that, if likewise developed byothers, thoroughly democratic forms of government, busi- ness, and social relationships would be encouraged and eventually established. It is entirely likely that during the years immediately before us as much thought and effort will be given to improving the conception and functions of ademocratic society as have been devoted to the mastery of the physical world during the last two centuries. In all this you are to have an important share. I, there- fore, urge you to assume your responsi- bilities as citizens of a great country with intelligence and diligence. May you get a conception of America not only as it is, but as it ought to be-a nation in which every worthy individual can be guaranteed an honest and comfortable living, a nation in which much more national wealth shall be used to support education, build health and recreation centers instead of 335,000,000 battle- ships, a nation in which crime with its enormous cost is suppressed almost to the vanishing point, in which graft and dishonest practices in business and government shall be eliminated, a nation in which the ideals expressed in the Declaration of Independence and the Preamble to the Constitution become the guiding motive of conduct in all polit- ical, -ecoinomic, and social life. Such a Utopia will probably not be fully real- ized in our day and generation, but we can help create it by seeing it even afar off and doing our part in contributing to its fulfillment. WAYNE M. SHIPMAN Principal LIFE'S CREED We go out of the early morning Into the noon of life, Success is fair compensation For those who endure the strife. Life itself is a battle That is fought to the bitter end, And they who obey the laws of God Their happy way will wend. Let us remember the rights of others, Let us take all that life will giveg May we give back the best that is in us, And a happy life we shall live.

In its shabby, dlisordierly in- terior, amid a confusing array of all kinds of provisions and articles, can be found every-thing from baked beans to caviar, and from needles to mowing ma- chinesg while through its ancient door have passed inhabitants of the back woods and those of Park Avenue. It was one of this latter type whose impressive limousine glided silently to a stop before our door late one October afternoon. Assisted gently by her chauffeur, a ponderous dowager labori- ously extricated herself from the luxur- ious interior, and proceeded slowly into the store, her fat, bejewelled fingers fumbling in her bag for a list. Have you the sugar I te-lephoned for? she demanded in a high, authori- tative voice. Yes, my father smiled, we had to send to Boston for it, but- All right, broke in Mrs. Frederick Long Hamilton, Sr., sharply, how much is it . The pound box is seven cents, he replied. Seven cents! shrilled the outraged one raising an indignant lorgnette. Mercy! I can purchase perfectly good sugar at the Super Sanitary Service System for five and one half cents. Yes, but Pierce's is better quality, and has to be- Very well, I shall take it since my sister will use nothing else, she said resignedly, as though performing some noble service. I shall now look at your tea biscuits. We have these kinds in bulk, said my father, indicating a rack of large, glass-covered boxes, which Mrs. Hamil- ton surveyed through the lorgnette as if they were garbage. And the assorted ones in packages, he contin- ued, taking one from the she-lf. The lady seemed slightly more inter- ested, turning the package over and eyeing the label suspiciously. He tore of the cellophane wrapper, andi, open- ing the box, extended it to her. Gingerly she tasted one, but placed it on the count-er shaking her head, Too sweet . Four other kinds were opened which were either too salty, too rich, too chocolate, and always too expensive. Perhaps Mr. Bailey across the street- began my father. Never mind, coldly. The Super- Sanitary Service System will have what I want. Sevente-en of the thirty-one brands of coffee were scrutinized and discussd. This one would not keep you awake at night, this one was dated, that one was advertised on the radio, this one va- cuum-packedi. The final decision was the standard brand sold by the chain store. At the end of thirty minutes, the counter was heaped high with various provisions. Mrs. Hamilton brought the lorgnette into play once more and scanned her list. I believe that will be all, she said. Now let me see. What have I bought? The sugar, said my father. Seven centsf' Well, she said regretfully, drawing out a leather check book, I had in- tended to buy all my goods here so I brought no money with me. And she proceeded to make out a check to herself for ten dollars. Will you cash this, please? she demanded, handing it to him. Puzzled, he opened the cash register and pawed about for small bills. Oh,-and you may deliver the sugar, she added. We're still at the summer place in Manomet, you know. Yes, he knew.-It was five miles down there. Profit on sugar one and one half cents: cost of gasoline-oh, well-. He handed her the money. Thank you. They accept only cash at the Super-Sanitary Service System, you know. CHARLES Coornn '35 THE PILGRIM A 25 SICK LEAVE SERGEANT O'lVIalley of the Military Police was on sick leave. Jostling through the slowly-moving crowd onthe Rue de Montin in the French holiday re- s-ort, he reached his destination, a com- fortably-shaded seat overlooking the bay, from which he could view the promenade and the beach. Civilian clothes, merrymakeris, and brilliant sunshine combined to create an enjoyable atmosphere for the sergeant, whose proximity to the front lines had caused an intense dislike of jarring clamor. So, establislfied contentedly, he contemplated the antics of crazy for- eigne-rs. A slight disturbance in a cafe not far distant from his seat attracted his at- tention for a few seconds, but he dis- missed it witlh a shrug, the Frog police could look after these affairs. He was suddenly aroused by a stream of Gallic invectives, evidently hurled at an Irish- man. Before he could rise to his feet, he heard the fight begin. He rolled his ponderous bulk to the entrance of the cafe. From this vantage point he observed with extreme pleasure the sight of a corpulent Irishman pum- meling an irate French poilu. In an- other part of the cafe, tables were over- turned as half a dozen Irishmen and Frenchm-en were disputing possession of a roll of bills. The battle raged noisily, each side giving and receiving sever-e punishment. Gendarmes, unabl-e to quell the dis- turbance, were waiting for it to finish before making arrests. With dismay O'lVIalley saw his fellow- Hibernian being overwhelmed. Unable to restrain himself further, he uttered a Celtic yell and plunged into the fray. With his aid, the Irish rallied and routed their opponents. The hostilities over, the gend-armes proceeded to perform their duties. See- ing this, the Irishmen became glum. Ten days in the jug had no attractions for them. Once again O'Malley saved the situation. Presenting his credentials as sergeant of th-e military police, he in- sisted on taking as his prisone-rs the Irishmen who had figured in the brawl. Since this was satisfactory to the gen- darmes, he led his band of bruised brawlers in the direction of army head- quarters, but once safely out of sight of the gendarmes, he set free his prisoners, then proceeded on his way. He whistled blithely as he went along. O'Malley was happy. O'Ma1ley was on sick leave. J.

MCGINNIS ,35 26 THE PILGRIM MMIUNIOR OPINIONS I On A Variety of Subjects WINDOWS HOW significant are the things seen at windows by passers-by! Signs of life are emitted from every window from early morning to late at night. Bedding and curtains flap wildly from the open Windows. Flower boxes filled with colorful blossoms make ornate the sills, and now and then a child's tousled head can be seen peering curiously over a window-sill. Two women leaning from their windows gossip merrily in the morning sunshine with, perhaps, a rug or a mop in hand. From other win- dows come shrieks from radios or the sound of quarreling children or their gay laughter and chatter. A cat basks in the sunlight, while an ice card is perched at an angle above his head. Oc- casionally a trilling and chirping is heard from a pert canary. As one goes on into the shopping dis- trict, various displays in windows im- mediately catch the eye. Perhaps there is beautiful finery or delicious edibles, both attractive to the eye. Passing a factory, one sees people in- dustriously engaged at machinery, working steadily and unceasingly. As one glances upward, he catches a glimpse of a dentist's uniform and thanks his lucky stars that he is on the outside looking in. ' As twilight gathers, the last pink rays of sun are reflected in the thous- ands of windows, and, as darkness arrives, twinkling lights gleam from every window signifying at least life- be it sad or pleasant. DOROTHY PERKINS '36 SHOES WE don't think of them often, unless they happen to be too small, but they offer an interesting train of thought to the one who does stop to think about them. When the first cave man wrapped a skin about his foot, he started the de- velopment of one of our most necessary articles of apparel. What costume would be complete without footgear to complete it? Likewise, much can be told about a person from the shoes he wears. In the thirteenth c-entury, shoes were soft and pointedg the longer the points, the higher the social position of the wearer. In fact, the points of th-e ultra-fashion- able soon grew so long that they had to be tied to the knees to prevent the per- son from tripping over them. Though these extremes are no longer seen, shoes are still an index to social position. For instance, in a subway car, facing the opposite seat which extends the length of the car, I can tell something of the people across th-e aisle even though most of them are hidden by newspapers. This tired pair of dust- caked broughans indicates a day of hard work well done, while the quiet, low- he-eled, black pumps beside them suggest a shop-girl who has been on her feet for hours. Th-ey keep crossing and uncros- sing,trying to find the least tiring position. Next in line is a tiny, frivo- lous pair of patent-leather pumps with extremely high heels. We know without further thought the type of girl to whom thes-e belong. A sturdy pair of moccasins is next. The woman who wears these has no patience with the French heels and paper-thin soles of her neighbor. She has sacriiiced style for comfort and is the better for it. This meticulously-shined pair of Oxfords looks much like many other pairs be- longing to business men, but what dif- ferent stories they could tell! Last is a pair of broken-toed, scarred shoes that are sprawled wearily in a cor- ner of the car. These shoes havetramped the streets daily and propped thems-elves on park benches nightly for a long time. Shoes must hav-e pleasure, too. One can almost envy the old pair that sinks into the fragrant, j ust-thawed earth of the garden in springtime, and dodges the inevitable puddles that come in the loveliest time of year. There are the sandals that bury themselves in the fine sand of the beach, and the moccasins that sink into the forest's aged carpet of pin-e needles, not to mention the slippers that are toasted before the fire in the -evening when the day is dying. Yes, shoes must have pleasure, too. PRISCILLA ROBERTS ,36 ON HAVING THE GRIPPE THE gripp-e, as you probably have dis- covered, is one of the pointless afliic- tions of a human being. Even the joys of being lazy in bed are dispelled by its headaches and weariness. It comes on suddenly to most people, although the THE PILGRIIVI 27 tired and scrappy you of yesterday may have been a symptom. The day on which you first get the grippe is begun as usual. You come down to breakfast feeling at odds with the world. After one look at your Weary face, someone feels your forehead and says rather decisively, Better stay in bed to-day. You don't Want to be sick, you know. In vain you listlessly remonstrate about the amount of work you'll have to make up if you're absentg nev-ertheless, it's rather a relief to go off to bed. Once there with a pile of books beside you as a sop to your conscience, you lack even the ambition to pick them up. You lie too Weary eve-n to look at anything. Your head seems about to split. All in- terest or anxiety concerning the work you'1l miss flies. For a few days you li-e there, not even eating, for who wants to eat when he has the grippe? After two or three days, you recover, or so the doctor says, and sit up weakly in a chair. By this time you really feel as though you could read a few pages and nibble at some food. After three days of this, you decid-e that you'd better return to school or the work you've missed will be too much for you to conquer. Lacking ambition, you return. The make-up work and your regular work almost send you back to bed. You struggle along, going to bed at eight o'clock every night and doing almost nothing. Yetslowly you recover from the attack, like th-e Irishman who was sick sixteen days after h-e got better. ELIZABETH BELCHER '36 THE KNITTING I-IABIT IT'S sweeping the country! Perhaps it is more appropriate to say it's wind- ing its way. Have you a ball of yarn in your home? If not, hasten to your favorite store, even the drug store will do, and get your supply now. Don't you know that it's very smart and ultra- modern to knit? Perhaps your ability dictates a five-inch pocket-book, but it serves its purpose. On wintry nights, gathered before a hot stove with faces burning and feet freezing, the feminine sex is repre- sented by all ages. Thirteen-year-old sister is making a tam like the one that Greta Garbo wore in her latest picture, while her older sister, who is th1irty-five- Well, perhaps thirty, is making one like Shirley 'Temple's to obtain that youthful effect. When they have finished, the re- sult will probably not be at all like the original, but that doesn't matter. It is the satisfaction you get from being able to say, I knitted a tam. So, get your yarn and begin now. It's never too late. ELSIE IVIONTI '36 SECURITY Gazing at the moon, I fell asleep And dreamed. And in my dream Was horror- I knew not why! I woke Trembling with fright, And saw In the heavens above Serene and calm The moon. And seeing, Slept, And dreamed no more. IXIARY GODDARD '36 THE WIND'S CHALLENGE Un a summer's night it whispers of moonlight on murmuring lagoons. It breathes a tale of pulsating life, Of a heav-en laced with gold. I must gog let me follow you! On a stormy night it thunders of foam- ing seas and life's adventures. It beckons, the tumultuous spirit leaps high. But I am afraid- I must stay at home and envy you through my window.

She isn't that new torch singer with Whitermanfs is she ? You don't know anything. Why Gertrude St-ein is one of the foremost writers of the day. She's even consid- ered a genius by many of her readers. You think only of jazz orchestras. Well, what does she write ? Oh, she's marvelous-listen! 'What has my life in America been, it has been the doing of everything that I never have done. Never have done, never could have done, never could have done again, that is the way my life in America began and is begun and is go- ig on.' What do you think of that? Terrible-put on Rudy Vallee. No, its about time you became in- terested in good literature. And, Ger- trude Stein beingone of the best, we shall begin with her. Now will you listen? 'I cannot beli-eve that America has changed, many things have come and gone but not really come and not really gone but they are there and that per- haps does make the America that I left and the America I am to find different but not really dif-l' Stop! What is she trying to do? Make up her mind ? Certainly not, stupid. She means that she finds America different but not really different. 66011 !77 Stop interrupting and listen and s-ee if you can tell me what this means. 'And then it began. The doing every- thing that I had n-ever done, and the liking doing everything everything any- thing that I had never done. That be- gan. And this is the way it began.' What does it mean? You're hopeless. It means she's go- ing to begin something. Well, why b-eat around the bush a- bout it? Begin began I b-egun and began what begin to begun! Why all the cere- mony ? Because anybody can say 'I will be- gin', but not many can say it the way she does. Why, that's art. Yeah? Well, I give up. Turn on Rudy Vallee. No, I'll make you appreciate this if it takes years. Listen. 'And that is what America is, is and is and it is beautiful, beautiful in the American way, beautiful just in this way.' Oh! Is it? Then why all the repeti- tion? Because repetition is an art. There aren't many people who can use repe- tition and not bore the reader. And you think Gertrude .Stein can do it? Well, I don't. And don't you think I'm going to listen to more of that art . I'd rather read Homer. Maybe I'd get something out of that. All I get from Gertrude Stein's writing is dizziness. Now will you please turn on Rudy Vallee? Now I give up. R. BONGIOVANNI ,35 THE DERELICT MARY Suber, stooped and middle- ag-ed, earned her meager salary standing in half-lighted doorways in darkened slum districts gathering in- formation about the narcotics traffic. Her sallow, wrinkled face with its pierc- ing black, sorrowful eyes that once had been sparkling and happy, her pale, sneering lips, and her hollow cheeks which had long since lost the ruddy glow of youth were nearly hidden by a tangled mass of stringy, gray hair. She cared little for life. Some people thought Mary peculiar- at least those did who thought of her at all. A little gone up here! they would exclaim with derision, pointing an un- kempt hand in the direction of their heads. Her income should have been larger, for her services were invaluable, but all Mary Suber wanted was just enough to live in the simplest way. Frequently she went to federal headquarters or to police stations with her reports, but the occupants of the boarding house sup- posed that she was on parole-as many of them were. Consequently they asked no questions when no explanations were offered. Some day, boys, she often remarked to the police, I'1l get mine. This sure is a dangerous game. Mary Suber was bitter, hard, cynicalg the world had been ve-ry cruel to her. Once she, too, had been happy, unbeliev- ably happy. It had frightened her to have had so much-a fine husband, a sturdy little son all their own, a modest home, and the prospects of a gloriously happy future. M'ary's husb-and had been employed in the same business in which she now found herself. It hadn't seemed very dangerous theng in fact, he had Continued on pgae 30 THE PILGRIM Sophomore Poetry Page !

But one day he was brought hom-e to her riddled with bullets, his handsome, young face smeared with blood and his clothes stained with dark blotches. Knew too much, sympathized the old Irish policeman in his own brusk way. They always get it if they do. It was as though death had come to Mary herself. Her spirit was broken, her cheery smile waned, but even then she was determined to be happy for the sake of her tiny son. The little house was soon taken from her by foreclosure, but undaunted, she kept on, hard work she feared no-t. The baby became a fine strong boy. Mary loved to hav-e him with her. She almost worshipped him-perhaps too much for his own good. After a hard day of scrubbing and cleaning in downtown offices, she was content to sit and watch him. But he was selfish, thought- lessly selfish. He gave less and less of his time to his weary mother, almost shutting her from his life altogether. He seldom stayed at home, became moody, sometimes boisterous an-d gay, more often tired and depressed. When he joined an unprincipled group of boys, advice was not for him, and it was for a second time in Mary's life that her heart bled when her son was brought home to her hopelessly ill from an over- dose of a drug to which he had fallen victim. For a long time after his death noth- ing mattered to Mary. Her soul cried out for revenge on the cruel world which had taken both husband and son, but she was too weary and tired with life to go on. Her faith in mankind was utterly destroyed. God had forsaken h-er. Perhaps a bit of the real Mary showed itself unconquered when she offered herself to the police in the war against the drug traffic. And so for the last twelve years she has been successful in her mission. There's a leak somewhere, the peddlers would say, never suspecting the poor shabby woman standing in the doorway. Someone's in with the cops. JEAN WHITING '36 AVE MARIA AVE Maria, softly intoned the choir from the depths of the great cathedral. Hail Mary, she echoed reverently, remembering another Mary, a Mary who was tall, slim, dauntless, a Mary who had won every battle except the one with death. Dear Mary, she whispered with head bowed on the altar rail, dear Mary, I've tried so hard. Really, I have. I've worked, worked hard, Mary, when I was sick, tired, weary. All for little Joey who kne-els besid-e me, that he, your son, might have the chance denied to you and me. It hasn't been easy. The world is cruel to an old woman. If John had lived, he might have helped us. But he loved you. Better for him that he died bene-ath the wheels of an automobile than to blunder through life without you. Ah, but Mary, when you left this little son in my care-you didn't- know-didn't know that gradually he was becoming deaf. Day by day his hearing fades. Ah, God, that this bright, eager child should some day nev-er hear! And I helpless to save him! My pitiful earnings can never pay for treatments which might save him! I could give him to the stat-e. ,He would be provided for. But I love him so! That bright hair, those blue eyes, they're yours and mine! Without them life has no meaning. While I live, I can not give him up. The gloom is bitter-sweet with incense. Red tapers, like liquid rubies, burn be- neath the huge crucinx. A wandering finger of light reveals a calla lily. Joey, his elfin face alight with eager- ness, drank in the beauty and magnifi- cence of the great church. For the moment, all else sank into oblivion. Tenderly she lifted her hand as if to stroke the y-ellow hair. In mid-air it stopp-ed, dropped to h-er side. With quick resolve sh-e arose sil-ently and swiftly made her way down the dim aisle. Joey gazed enraptured at a massive statue of Mary with the child. H-e had not h-eard her leave. .Straight down the ponderous stone steps she march-ed. N o backward glances, no faltering. Out into the grey street, strangely quiet aft-er the clamor- ous day of business, she went. On she walked rapidly. Mor-e slowly, more slowly now she went. No crying now. No regrets, she ad- monished h-erself. Father Murphy will understand. He'll see that Joey goes to the institution. He'll see that Joey gets his treatments. He'll- The moan of a foghorn interrupts her hysterical thoughts.

ALBA MARTINI-JLLI '36 THE ALUMNI DANCE IT seems as if there are hundreds of old grads here, but maybe it's because they are all doing such different steps that they seem so numerous. There is Buddy Martin doing the Mass. Tech. The poor boy, heis having a hard time. Over in the corner Gillie Andrews is teaching Carlo Guidaboni the Tufts Toddfle-tricky trfotting, we'd say. 'Way over on the west side of the hall Cshe runs to western placesl is Ruth Bvuttner demonstrating the Oberlin Arnble. Warren Sampson is doing the Spring- field Sprint diown the center of the hall, and bumping into the Bridgewater Bouncers, Jeanette Martin, Dot Per- kins, and Shirley Dutton. And look at the Proessor ! He's do- ing the Boston University-oh, I beg your pardon, he isn't doing it any more. Marjorie Belcher is conquering the latest of the latest dance steps, The Mount Holyoke Hobble. Just coming on to the floor are Ruth Murphy and Peggy Raymond. They swing into the LaSalle Loop with a grace that only they can attain. Leroy Schrieber has been shuffling around the hall with the Moses Brown Bustle, and he is doing v-ery well for himself. And over in front of the arches, too, there is that shufiiing Simmons' girl, Elizabeth Woioidi, trying to show Florence Armstrong that the New Hampshire Hop doesn't equal Dot Holmes' Vermont State Stamp. Alyce Bussolari and Mary Riley are demonstrating the Chandler version of the Continental. What a dance! But within a few years they'll be dancing more conservative steps to more quiet music. Time does that to all of us.

Having passed successfully Cthat is in some respectsj through a year marked by tornadoes, Hoods, and sand storms we have finally reached the month of brides and graduates. Let us stay Father Time's hand and gaze into his hour glass that we may see what the last school year has left with us. Student Activity Society, step for- ward and receive a resounding kiss on both cheeks for those fine assemblies. Let's see-oh, of course you remember Peter Walter's marvelous performance when Mr. Walters repeated his success of last year. Then, too, we must not for- get Mr. Dyer whose clever talk on Europe accompanied Mr. Walter's in- spired renditions. Shades of Uri-ah Heep! Remember Dr. Frank Armitage of England who gave imper-so-nations of characters from Dickens? That was a perfect asse-mbly! As for Hans Helm of Columbia Uni- versity, well-we're still groping for adjectives. His impersonations of musi- cal instruments done entirely with his throat and vocal chords were marvel- ous, to say the least! His lullaby in a soprano voice nearly brought down the assembly hall roof. Then there was Mr. Edward Henefy's address on Washington and Lincoln. His vocabulary left even our lofty Qnot to mention haughtyj seniors gasping for air and a dictionary. Ernest Johnson's performance was the great success that every one ex- pected it to be. Can you remember Mal Cameron, great mystifier, illusionist, et al? This performance helped to swell the trea- sury of the S. A. S. The fortunate S. A. S. members made trips to Fall River and Yarmouth to Student Society conventions. Also We must not forget to mention the Kingston and Weymouth conventions of the Southeastern Massachusetts League of School Publications Cwe dare you to say that in one breath lj which the Pilgrim staff attended. Prick up your ears, dancers and would-be dancers. You d0n't have to be reminded of the senior get-togethers. This novel way of teaching the terpsi- chorean art to beginners was enthusi- astically received. Miss Wilber and her Latin Club tore themselves away from Vergil long enough to visit the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and, incidentally, the famous Ice Carnival. HH. M. S. Pinafore and her load of romantic sailors and tripping maidens will long be remembered. Long will Dick Deadeye CBooooooJ continue to haunt our dreams. Great thanks are due Mr. Albertin and Miss Locklin for their un- tiring work. A uniform school ring has been chosen by vote of the three lower classes. Clt is interesting to note that no Pil- grim, Plymouth Rock, or Mayfiower adorns our choice.J Congratulations to the new members of the Honor Society!

H. s. PUBLICATION or MARCH 15, 1845 The following are excerpts from some copies of the P. H. S. publication The Attempt , dated 1845. These interest- ing o-ld notebooks, written entirely in lonighand by the boys of the school, were kindly loaned to us by Mrs. George Snow. LOVING! Lo-ving is a painful thrill, But not to love-more painful still But surely 'tis the worst of pain, That loving, we're not loved again. -Radical THE SCHOOLBOY IS CRUSHED Yes, this is but too true. The school- boy, even in this land of the free, where none do bow the knee to tyrant's power , is degraded, almost, I might say to a level with the brutes. He is under the absolute control of his master who- ever he may be and has no po-wer to do anything but to get lessons, and write foolish co-mipositions Clike the present one.J Before they talk about abolishing slavery at the south let people of Plym- outh take a walk up Russell Street and see what they can do for the two hun- dred slaves they have got cooped up in that great building on the left hand side of the road, and see whether their over- seers keep them sleek and fat as they ought etc, etc. The build-ing above re- ferred to is built a little above the other jail Cwhich is made of stone,J as if to tantalize the inhabitants of the former edifice by the sight of its beautiful stone walls, the inside of which, but two to my knowledge have ever been able to see. If some few benevolent persons wish the town to give these school-boy slaves the liberty of the yard on Wednesday after- noon some other malevolent gentlemen C?J are afraid that the ladies will be troubled by little dirty brats prowling about the streets, and for this reason they are confined on that day also in their dismal dungeon. But when the railroad comes everything is go-ing to be changed and we hope that a change- will take place in this respect as well as others. -W. GOODWIN THE WIDOW AND HER SON! 'Twas midnight! Fierce howled the storm around the cottage door Loud did the thunder peal, and bright the lightning flash, When from her home a hapless widow strayed To seek her only one, her dear, dear son. Though dark the night, though steep the road, Awhile she wandered in the wood At last fatigued and drenched with rain, She fainted, but by the hand of God revived again. And rising from the ground she blessed him who thus had saved, Beseeching him that if she fell a vic- tim to the storm That he might save her only song Then onward through the woods she made her way. At last as by an angelic vision she de- scried Far in the bosom of the wood, a dim but steady light. Oh, who can tell the joy of that poor anxious mother When first that dim light she descried. And then she made her way o'er the hill and dale, But never reached it, no nefvcfr reached For on her way, from a high precipitous rock she fell. Doomed never to rise on earth again. -H.

Je me rappelle encore, dans mon es- prit, l-es sentiments que j'avais quand il me fallait quitter mes cheres amies. Je me souviens comme j'etais triste en voy- ant ma patrie, si bien aimee, disparaitre de vue peu a peu. Alors, p-endant plus de deux semain-es, on ne pouvait voir que l'-eau et le cielg bleus tous les deux. D'abord, je savais qu'il me fallait faire la connaissance de mes nouveaux amis, si je voulais etre aussi heureuse que je l'avais ete. Plusieurs de ces nou- veaux amis etai-ent assez interessantsg ainsi, je regrettais de devoir les aband- onner a la fin du Voyage. Maintenant, quand je mc rappelle les orages menacants qu'il y avait, je souris heureusement. Un d-e ces orages etait in- supportable. Il a eclate pres du rivage de l'Italie. Inquiets et effrayes, nous avions ei peine l'espoir d'etre sauves. Quelques-uns de mes amis, etant deven- us tres chagrants slinquietaientg pend- ant que d'autres, comme moi, etaient restes gais, meme dansant sur les vagues montagneuses. Les panoramas qui s'offrent a la vue au milieu de la mer sont magnifiqu-es. Presque tous les jours, vers six heures du matin, j'aimais quitter ma chambre pour all-er sur le pont, ou je pouvais prendre l'air frais. Je surveillais la splendeur du soleil comme il se levait petit ei petit de la profondeur de la mer. Tout etait tranquilleg les vagues seuls ne cessaient jamais de deranger le calm-e. Aussi le soir, j'allais au meme endroit, le pont, quand 11 faisait tres noir. Je ne ANGUAGES it N X fit L-. pouvais Voir qu-e les astres d'or qui etincelaient dans l-e ciel sombre. En- chante-e par la beaute de tout, j'enten- dais les vagues ecumeuses, eclabousser contre le bateaug je me souviens bien que ces Vagues m'ef frayai-ent toujours pendant la nuit. Oh, pour etre en voyage encore une fois! ANNA GOLDBERGH '35 1 1 A UECOLE SUPERIEURE Je me rappelle tres clairement un jour au commencement du mois de sep- tembre, mil neuf cent trente et un quand je me suis mise en route pour l'ecole superi-eure avec mon ami-e. Les Vacances etaient finies, et il fallait que je com- mence mes etudies encore une- fois. Que j 'etiais heureuse ce jour-la! Je me sentais fiere et grande parce que j'al1ais at l'ecole superi-eure pour la premiere fois. C'etait une belle journee, je m'en sou- viens. Le soleil brillait, mais il ne faisait pas trop chaud. Tout le monde me sem- blait heureux, meme les petits enfants, riants et bavardants, qui allaient a l'ecole pour la premiere fois. Quand j'etais pres de l'ecole que j'aVais quittee il y avait presque trois mois, je l'ai regardee tristement. Alors j'ai tourne mes yeux Vers un batiment de briques rouges qui devait m'abriter quatre annees. A pein-e entree, on m'a conduite vers une salle dans laquelle j'etudie le fran- cais maintenant. Cela devait etre ma salle de classe cette annee. Apres quelques semain-es, je me suis habituee a ma n-ouvelle vie, mes maitres, et mes etudes. J 'avais decide de faire de mon mieux, coute que coute. Je suis le cours commercial, c'est a dire que j'etudie la dactylographie, la THE PILGRIM 35 stenographie, aussi l'anglais et le fran- cais. Il n'est pas neoessaire que j'etudie le francais mais je s-uis ce cours parce que je l'aime et je Vieux savoir quelques choses de oe pays pittoresque. Maintenant je suis arrivee a ma dfern- iere anne-e de cette ecole. Bientot il faut que je dis-e adieu ei mes etudes, mes amis, et toute l'ecole. Je dois donner ma place ei d'autres eleves.

JEAN BEYTES '35 EGO IN Latin Ego was simply a pronoun meaning IU, Slowly through the years w-e have derived from this pro- noun such words as egotism , egotis- tic , and ego , all implying conceit and selfishness.. An egotistic person is self- centered. Materially this type may pro- gress far, for he pushes himself ahead and attains his desires, but spiritually he can pass no tests. I susp-ect that Ego was translated in that manner by the old monks, for they were learned men who had sworn to forego worldly pleasures and spend their lives in the most worthwhile Ways. Highest of all th-ese aspirations was to forget themselves, to drive ego from their minds. They w-ere taught to hold the greatest of contempt for self-cen- tered persons. Thus, perhaps, they coined these words, labeling the selfish, egotistic. HARRIE MORDT '36 THE STGRY GF WORDS Undoubtedly, at some time or other, you have studied the growth of a flower, a tree, or an ins-ect, but have you ever studied the growth of a word? Usually, after many years its original meaning is lost. For instance, the word infant has an interesting derivation. In meaning un or not in Latin, combined with fari, meaning to speak, were com- bined to make infants which means, literally, not speaking, a babe. In- fans in turn has become our word in- fant. Inaugurate comes from the Word auger , the highest member of omen interpreters, the verb inaugare means to take omens , and from the past par- ticiple inauguratus com-es inaugu- rate. Candidate is derived from the Latin Word candidus meaning glittering, white When a man in ancient Rome was campaigning for an office, he wore a white toga and was called a candida- tus , one clothed in white. Companion has an interesting his- tory. The Latin word com meaning with and panis meaning bread were join-ed to form companion , lit- erally meaning one who shares bread with another. Congregation comes from the Latin greX , a herd or flock and the verb congregare , to gather into a Hook. From the past participle, con- gregatusf' congregation is easily de- rived. Pastor is derived from the Latin verb pascere, meaning to pasture, and from its past participle pastum came our word pastor.', Therefore, We are greatly indebted to Latin for our vocabulary since many of our words originated in Rome, the eternal city.

In mid-season Kingston issued a challenge to Plymouth for a post-season game and Plymouth accepting the chal- l-enge, administered a twenty-one to six beating much to the delight of the players and school followers. This was one of the reasons Plymouthis season can be classed as a success although the number of games won was not too im- pressive. Chief Bagnall was hindered by in- juries to some of the players and also by having some failures in studies. When the final whistle blew ending the Kingston game, the following boys had completed their high school foot- ball: Andrew Basler, Arthur Ragazzini, Earl Pimental, Frank Mello, Vincent Neri, James Boyle, Albert Albertini, and Bradford Martin. With Louis Poluzzi, Alvin Tavares, Donald Hughes, Alton Whiting, Gildo Govoni, TOHQY Govoni, Robert Proffetty, Nicholas Carbone, and Alexander Bar- bieri returning, the prospects for a good season next year are bright. BASKET! Plymouth's basketball season was disastrous as far as winning games was concerned. The schedule showed nine victories as against thirteen defeats. Many of the games lost, however, were very close and were not decided until the last few minutes of the play. Coach Jack Smith was hindered at the beginning of the season becaus-e of the lack of experienced material. Only one member of last year's crack team an- swered the basketball call. One bright spot in Plymouth's sched- ule was the magnificent showing in the Brockton Y. M. C. A. Tournament. Plymouth beat Attleboro decisively, then beat Rockland by one point. Incidentally, this game was considered one of the fastest and most interesting of the tournament. Going into the semi-finals, Plymouth met Weymouth. The huge crowd and continuous noise tended to make the team nervous, and it not until the last half that the boys found themselves and began to do things, but Weymouth had too much of a lead to be overcome. Plymouth lost, but much credit must be extended to the coach and players, for the team was picked to lose in the first round of the tourney. Next year, it is predicted, will be a far better one for the basketball team, for the coach will have Alton Whiting and Louis Poluzzi, two of this year's first string men, as well as Harold- Raymond, Mario G-aruti, Gabriel Ferazzi, and An- tonio Medar-es who played with the second team and also saw much service with the first team. The players lost by graduation are Captain Bradford Martin, Atteo Fer- azzi, James B-oyle, and Gerald Mayo. In the intra-mural basketball games, Babe James' team was again victori- ous for the second successive year. His boys won six games and lost none. .Second place went to Harold Clark's sharpshooters who won five games and lost one to Babe James by a point. BATTER UP! With the Hrst warm days of spring, the inter-class baseball games began. The sophomores became class cham- pions when they defeated the seniors in the final game. From the players of the different classes, Chief Bagnall picked the outstanding ones to represent the school in outside competition. The team opened up with Rockland at Rockland and was defeated fourteen to seven, errors proving costly. The boys then journeyed to Middleboro and lost again, nine to five. Opening at home, they were defeated by Bridgewater in a weird game by the score of thirteen to ten. Plymouth played Kingston at King- ston and won a victory of nine to two. As this account goes to press, the boys are practising for their second game with Rockland.

An inexperienced track team with very f-ew veterans opened the season with ,Hingham to be defeated by a large score, but Plymouth gained a victory over the Sandwich team shortly after- wards. Plymouth next bowed low to a very strong Barnstable team, the score being fifty to nineteen. As this goes to press, the P. H. S. tracksters are train- ing hard for the annual district meet. BRADFORD MARTIN Girls' Athletics Hockey We had a fairly successful season this year with forty girls out in the upper classes and fifteen in the freshman. The squad began with six t-eams playing intra-mural games, this series being won by Alma Guid-etti's team. A game between th-e freshmen and the upper- classmen was played and won by the latter. Mrs. Garvin then chose a first and second team to represent the school in in- terscholastic games. They played seven games, losing to Kingston and Marsh- field, tying Kingston in the home game and Marshfield and Hyannis away from home, and winning over Scituate, Tabor, and the alumnae. As Mrs. Garvin loses only three of her players through graduation, the out- look is very bright for next season. Baseball! The baseball candidates began base- ball with -early practice. They have elected Lucy Mayo as captain, and have already had one exciting game with Scituate in which they were finally beaten 10-14. With more games still to be played they hop-e to have a good sea- son. Track The track team is practicing eagerly as Mrs. Garvin has hopes of taking the girls to a track meet. Basketball There was a large and enthusiastic turnout of candidates for basketball this year. Intra-mural team games were played, captained by Clark, Vaughn, Martinelli, Govi, Mellor, and Brewer. First and s-econd teams were chos-en by Mrs. Garvin, and Captains Brewer and C. Drew were elected for interscholastic games. Although the teams played only three other schools, the first team won four out of six games, while the second team, whose ability was almost equal to that of the first, went through the season undefeated. The schedule was as follows: School Team Place Score E. Bridgewater 1 here 32-9 E. Bridgewater 2 here 16-4 Bourne 1 here 32-15 Bourne 2 here 20-9 Middleboro 1 there 18-27 Middleboro 2 there 23-6 E.

The girls are looking forward to an excell-ent season next year as only a few seniors will be lost through gradu- ation.

So out I went across the bay And sailed into a cove Where clear and tranquil Waters lay, And all blue skies above. Sand on the shore was Very White With green grass at its edge Reaching to the Woods of night Along the mossy ledge. The murmuring pines and oak And graceful White birch tree Made promises with feathered folk To guard their young folk Wee. But twilight comes and darkness falls, And Weary birds are homing, The Whip-poor-will so plaintive calls, And I return from roaming. CAROL HANDY '38 CHIMNEY SMOKE I love to see the chimney smoke, It puffs so gleefully, And breaks in curls of softest gray With joyous ecstasy. It seems alive, awake, and free, A vagrant of the sky, A lazy restless Vagabond, Who greets each passer-by. TALBOT COBB '38 HIGHLAND LIGHT High upon the bluff it stands, Towering o'er the raging maing High above the drifting sands A challenge to Wind and rain. There's something strange I can't ex- plain About a lighthouse tall and White, I've tri-ed a thousand times in vain To grasp one beam of flashing light. Sombre, silent as a ghost, Like a sentry at his post, It scorns the Wrath of wintry clime, Faithful to the end of time. JANET BROADBENT '38 THE PILGRIM g 41 WHEN I WAS SMALL The house in which I lived when I was small Is standing yet, be-side the same old pool, And honeysuckle still climbs o'er the door, And drooping elms' shade makes the porch cool. To passers'-by the gables tall seem bleak, Especially in the cold days of fall, But if inside, t-hey saw the attic peak That sefems to echo each sweet ch-ildish ca I , They would know why I still seek The house in which I lived when I was small. VIRGINIA RYDER '35 TEMPTATION I met a man the other day, A man both strong and meang A look was in his evil eye Whose like is seldom seen. He scowled and frowned and tramped around, I trembled through and through, But I looked him straight in his evil eye And cried, Who's afraid of you? And when he heard this daring cry, He cowered to the ground, The e-vil look then left his eye, And the sun shone all around. He shrank before my steady gaze, And vanished in a bluish haze. Temptations come to frighten us, But weak in every part, They melt before the strong manfs eye, And flee the brave of heart. RUTH BUMPUS '37 THE CEILING Winding paths through heavy obstruc- tions, Grotesque canyons wo-rn by time, White plains of icy smoothness, Wrinkled corners indicating age. Patched clouds of dusty amber Painted by the artist rain, The ribbed skeleton broken through- The ancient ceiling needs repair. ' WARREN BRADFORD '36 THE LAMP OF KNOWLEDGE With but one ling'ring glance behind, A fleeting glimpse at all our days to- gether here, Where education's guiding had has led us on, We turn to face the future with percep- tion clear. And now has come the day, the hour, At which the guiding hand must loose its gentle hold, And, stepping forth unaided on life's un-tried road, With eyes uplifted, each alone shall see his life unfold. The knowledge we have thus far gained Must be the lamp to light the coming years, To hold it high, wick trimmed and burn- ing brightly Shall be our aim in laughter or in tears. O Lamp of Knowledge, l-et thy beam In ever wid'ning rays descend to light our way, And let non-e, groping, fail to find his chosen path, Or from the lighted road of wisdom ever stray.

I will graduate from High School in 193 ......, THE PILGRIM 45 AFTER GRADUATION WHAT? High School graduation brings stu- dents with a talent for music, acting or any of the fine arts, face to face with th-e decision as to what place their artistic ability shall play in their lives during the years ahead. The person interested in Music or Dramatics should decide whether his or her talent, ability, and in- terest justifies making these arts and the practice of them a profession from which he or she expects to make a living. If a student intends to follow some other work as a vocation, some provision should be made to continue the study of music or dramatics as an avocatiion or cultural activity. The student who decides upon music as a profession should assure himself or hers-elf of getting the best and most com- plete training avaiilable. There is com- petition for the valuable p-ositilons in music as in all other fields of work, and the preparatory training received, as well as the prestige of the school atten- ded, often decides Who fills a desirable position. It is often best for a student in the teens to enroll at a school of the type of the New England Conservatory of Music. There it is possible to study one subject, such as violin or voice, or to take la course including both interpretive playing or singing and theoretical sub- jects, languages, college subjects, etc., which will earn a Diploma of a Collegi- ate degree, such as Bachelor of Music. Such a large conservatory offers the students an o-pportunity to participate in public recitals, play in, or appear as soloist with, a Symphony orchestra and associate with succ-essful musicians. If one is interested only in studying music or dramatics as a cultural activity or avocation, it is still important to o-b- tain the best instruction and training available, and the benefits to the individ- ual continue throughout life. If one follows a musical or dramatic education until proficiency is attained, the skill, knowledge, and experience gained is pre- paration for professional work in these fields if it ever becomes necessary as a livelihood. But what-ever use is made of musical or dramatic training, the person who receives it always enjoys the ad- vantages of being able to appreciate and take part in such activities when the op- portunities arise. They get more enjoy- ment out of recitals, concerts, and plays, and, when amateur productions are be- ing staged, they are eligible and able to take leading parts. As a contribution to happy, enjoyable, and creative living, nothing can take the place of musical or dramatic training. iniuininirliu 0:01if1102:livin1014:1:11011iiniuiniuinir 1011111.111101903030341030 5:0 3 I 2 Q 5 STEVENS THE FLORIST Q .
