Mary Brigida CLASS COLQRS Green and Wliite CLASS MOTTO Alriora Petamus CLASS FLOWER Yellow Rose History of the Class of 1937 5 INCE I have heard it charged that class historians are rather more sus- ceptible than most human beings to a lack of perspective and a fondess for hyperbole, and since it is furthermore charged that the true purpose of their literary en-deavors is therefore thwarted and their real value to posterity im- paired, I wish to make it clear at the outset that the historian of the Class of 1937 may not satisfactorily be indicted on these counts. I intend to vindicate the maligned authors of class chronicles by submitting a work devoid of hyperbole and characterized by precision, let the words of praise and blame fall where they may. I The Class of 1937 entered High School with a rather bewildered air, for its members were the first to make the transition between grades eight and nine without the colorful pageant which for many years had terminated Junior High School days. The decision of the School Committee to dispense with a formal graduation from Junior High School was apparently made to impress upon us the fact that we had achieved no extraordinary goal in the field of ed- ucation by completing eight grades- and with this point of view, after a pass- ing of time, we most readeily concur. Our air of bewildermient was soon re- placed by another of a somewhat pugnfa- cious nature, for we were Hghting, as other classes had done before us, to pre- serve ourselves from the belittling acts of upper-classmen and to thwart the rising interest of iSenior boys in Fresh- man girls-an interest so general that we must conclude that the feminine element in the Class of 1937 must have possessed an unusual amount of charm, ev-en as freshmen. As a result of elections, we were led by: President Richard Keough Vice-President Antone Medeiros Secretary John Macoaferri The gala occasion of the year was the Freshman Dance, the evening when our young souls soared high. The Student Activities Society was organized in this year, and we became the Hrst class to have represen-tatives in this soci-ety through the entirety of our High School career. - II The Sophomore year began with even less ceremony than the first. At this point we demonstrated our courage to break with custom, for we elected a girl as class presvident. This honor fell to Lois Brewster, while John Maccaferri served as vice-president, Mary Curtin as secretary, and Robert Sampson as treasuier. l av, l'., J 4 THE PILGRIM During this year Pinafore , an operetta by Gillbert and Sullivan, was produced, and one of our own Sopho- more girls, Ruth Butts, was chosen to play a leading part, that of the captains daughter. Others of our class were in the chorus. Moreover, many of our number can boast of having participated in the im- pressive Christmas assembly in charge of Miss C-arey and her French students. Although it constituted a grave dis- appointment to a large number, we held no Sophomore Hop. We have heard it intimated that this was due to our own procrastination, but it could as easily be explained by the fact that the two classes above us possessed an overdevel- oped readiness to seize for themselves all available dates. III As Juniors we were guided in our ac- tivities by the following: President W illiam Clark Vice-President John Maccaferri Secretary Alice Wood Treasurer Mary Brigida In this year the Sch-ool Circus was held for the first time with one of' our classmates, LeBaron Briggs, as Master of Ceremonies. Our Junior Promenade, which was hailed with the customary enthusiasm, was both a social and financial success. In connection with this event We proved to ourselves and to others that overhead decorations were not .impossible in Memorial Hall by our novel display of basket-Woven streamers. The last day of our third year must have been utterly unlike that experi- enced by any other Junior Class, for we were bidding the Old P. H. S. a -fond farewell. The occasion evoked memories, for the most part plaasant, memories such as are ordinarily per- mitted only to a graduating class. IV A NEW High School-the dream of so many classes previous to o-urs, be- caimefto us a reality, and we were the first group to have the proud distinction of gracing the new halls of learning as Seniors. It has been hinted that we are an un- stable class, full of whifms and vagaries, and our varying choice of class ofiicers has been offered as proof' of our incon- sistency, but, remembering that the greatest of personages have not been wholly free from this characteristic, we point with pride to our selection in our senior year: President LeBaron Briggs Vice-President Robert Sampson Secretary Audrey Dutton Treasurer Mary Brigida The first social event to be held in the new gymnasium Was the ,Senior Dance, as a result of Which our treasury was pleasantly increased. The School Circus was presented and received with as much favor as was the previous one, un-doubtedly because we, as seniors, were glad to offer our diver- sified talents. We record with some satisfaction the fact that through one of our members enjoyment was provided to the whole school, for the music for dancing after all of the Friday night basketball games this year was furnishd by our Joe Correa and his orchestra. So the Class of 1937 becomes history! But, you assert, you find no words of blame, no suggestions of the human frailties in the conduct of the Class of '37? You say-Ah! I feared it-this class historian has not maintained the standards of accuracy which she pub- licly embraced? But may I meet question with ques- tion in a last dlespai-ring effort to estab- lish my position-is it not possible that the Class of 19137 Was Without error, without defect? Is it not possible that the Class of 1937 could do no Wrong? RUTH FLAGG These are especially strong shirts, madam. They simply laugh at the laundry, said the salesinan. I know that kind. I had some that came back with their sides split. Have you eaten anything that was left in an open tin ? was the first ques- tion of the physician as he examined the ptomaine victim. Yep, replied the patient, I went on a picnic yesterday and the lunch was left in the fliver all morning. Carpenter- Didn't I tell you to notice when the glue boiled over ? Assistant-- I did. It was a quarter past ten. TRY THIS Motor Cop Cafter hard chasej- Why didnt you stop when I shouted back there? Driver Cwith only S5 but presence of mindb- I thought you just said, 'Good morning, Senator? Cop- Well, you see, Senator, I wanted to Warn you about driving fast through the next township. . THE PILGRIM 5 Last Will and Testament mE, the illustrious and benevolent Class of 1937, being about to take our much-lamented departure from P. H. S.: deem it wise, expedient, and indi- cative of our profound gratitude, to be- queath the following items to those who have sustained us in our exigencies: T0 MR. SHIPMAN: A football suit and helmet in order that h-e may be properly equipped to challenge Mr. Handy's team on the gridiron. To MRS. RAYMOND: A blotting-paper carp-et for her home room to assist her in carrying out her resolution to keep her floor free from ink spots and other unseemly blotches. To MISS BROWN : Individual booths to be used by Senior history students dur- ing the ordeal of tests. We seek to allay all suspicions-hence our parting gift. To MR. PACKARD: Permission to fill the crack in the swinging door, between Mr. Smiley's room and his, in order to keep the boys' minds on their work dur- ing seoond period study. T0 MR. MONGAN: More bulletin space for his exceptionally fine pictures and posters. In adidlition, we appoint Francis Scheid, the silver-tongued orator, to be official tacker-upper. To MISS CAREY: A Flit gun with which she may exterminate pestiferous Seniors who gambol in the lower cor- ridor dfuring fifth period. To MISS WILBER:A new horse to be employed in her now famous example for the dlative of possession. Her old nag has become sway-backed and spavined from years of faithful service. To MR. SMILEY: Traps for catching runaway snakes. They may save the girls many 'anxious and fearful minutes while passing through the lower cor- ridor. To MISS LANG: A law prohibiting checks unfder a dollar. T0 MISS JACQUES: A special telephone to Miss Carey's room. We should like to do all within our power to further such a beautiful friendship. T0 MRS. GARVIN: More Drews to put the girls' sports news of Plymouth High on the front page. To MISS CooMBs: Perhaps a husky C. C. C. boy might be of some assistance to her' in the office. Her polite sugges- tions to remove the corporeal presence seem, in some cases, to fall on barren ground. T0 MISS HUMPHREY: Murals on the ceiling to justify her gazing upward 1 , while thinking. In this way, much pleas- ure would be instilled into the teaching of such mysterious things as th-e differ- ence b-etween abstract and concrete nouns. To DR. DAVIS: An invitation to a musical program composed of modern hit tunes under the direction of our well-known swing master. To MISS KELLY: A little box to run overhead on wires fsuch as are used in department storesj to carry her mis- sives to Miss McNerney. To MISS DOWLING: A supply of alco- hol-for removing paint from the hands of her art studenfts. In the future, students may be spared the necessity ol' dashing to Mr. PackardI's room. T0 MR. KNOWLTON: A senior class which will appreciate his athletic award system. T0 MISS JOHNSoN: Her choice of a lower desk or a higher chair, so that she may keep an eagle eye on her study hall. T0 MISS LOCKLIN: A few more wood- en compasses for blackboard work in order that the string and chalk method may be abolished. This gift will save pupils many anxious moments. To MISS RAFTER: Roller skates equip- ped with sirens on which she may effi- ci-ently police the cafateria. T0 MR. BAGNALL: A sum of money to finance a private printing of his ver-sion of European history. Some of his the- ories on Nap and the Iron Duke have proved most interesting. T0 MISS J UDD: A standing order with some reliable fruit store for an apple to be delivered to her on each and every school day. T0 MISS MCNERNY: A new set of much-needed cooking utensils so that her talented pupils Cespecially the Sen- ior boysj may really do justice to the culinary art. To THE CLASS OF 1938: More girl athletes. It looks as though Mrs. Garvin will have teams composed only of Soph- omores and Juniors next year. To THE CLASS OF 1939: Several enter- prising members who will always keep the ball rolling in class meeting. Our aim is to eliminate those deadly lulls during which everybody waits for somebody else to do or say the right thing. Drawn, signed, and sealed in the ofiice of Ivan Noffulitch and Haven One- too and to be executed by I. B. Seenya and Otto Burnit. JosEPH BREWER '37 ROBERT D.

CLARENCE DELANO Del1y's a good pianist, Delly shoots baskets in gym, Delly drives an Oldsmobile, Yet who's seen a girl with him? THE PILGRIM 9 MARY DEVITT What's this we hear of Mary? She has an ardent swain? We hear he comes from Switzerland, And sings sweet love's re- frain. SAMUEL DICKSON Sammy talks Across the aisles, And when he does, No teacher smiles. CYNTHIA DREW When did you leave heaven? When were you set free? An angel here in high school Is something strange to see.

My fiddle couldn't stand the shock, It must be made of Jell-O. FRANCIS FABRI When cats are 'neath your window A-wailing at the moon, Investigate before you shoot, For Fabri likes to croon. ROGER FABRI It must be a gift, We all admit that- If we loiter in corridors, We go to the mat. GABRIEL FERAZZI Don Juan, says young Gabe, Was only a piker: It won't be long now Before my name shincf' brighter. R UTH FLAGG If Ruth were but allowed 'to sleep As she would likeg we know That she would break the record Made by Winkle long ago. ELSIE FORTINI She got 100 in a test!

TONY GOVONI . In baseball he excels, In .football he ranks high, But he's been known to say things That make his teachers sigh. MELBA GOYETCH If some power should decree A miss was worth her weight in gold, She would have the most to lose When the scales their secret told. ' ELDA GUARALD1 Who does she remind us of? With rolling eyes and little whoop? I-t isn't Greta Garbo- I bet it's Betty Boop. FLORENCE GUERRA Little girls should be seen and not heard- Is a preeept quite well knowng But that efferveseent giggle Is a trade-mark all your qwn. DOROTHY HALEY Dottie dashes out the door, Freely Haunting Hying fe-et, Chasing Charlie's chugging chariot That strives to struggle up the street.

JULIA HALL As analysts of character We may be all wrong: But if she's a Saucy Daughter, Then we are all-King Kong. ANNA HANELT I'm sure you all know that to Anna Compliments and praise are manna: So try your ardent adulation, You'll win her fast capitula- tion. MARJORIE HARLOVV In olden days the victors Chained captives to their carts: But Marjorie is modern, She chains them with their hearts. RICHARD HARLOW A man without a class, says he, A man without a girl to see. In track and basketball he's ours: The girl, wc'd say, is Mar- Jorie. EDM UND HEATH A roar of laughter, An exchange of pokes, It's Poker-face Heath Telling us jokes. THE. PILGRIM 11 ALAN HEY Into old Polonius His sword did Hamlet plunge, And then the royal janitor Picked up the corpse with a sponge. kBelieve it or not! BETTY HOLMES Betty says that her ambition ls to be late some day: We know full well how near she comes To having her own way. LOIS HOLMES She's hither and thither, And all in a dither, Just like an elusive fly, Perhaps if we hurry, And scamper and scurry, We'll catch up with her bye and bye. ROSE INGENITO Rose is an enigma, So silent, proud, and calm. 'Tis said that people of that type Seldom come to harm.

EDGAR LEE No Plymouth girls for Eddie Lee, Thcy're all old stuff to him: A Whitman lass has caught his eye, Her name is Evelyn. GEORGE LEMOINE - We used to call him Kinkie, Now it's Cookie, it would seem: It really makes no differ- ence- If you get what we mean. ALMA LENZI She flies into a temper?

EMILY MELLO When prison gates are opened And she makes her escape, North she'll go to Cambridge, Or to Falmouth on thc Cape. L l THE PILGRIM 13 OLIVE MELLO The night may come, we warn YOU, When Benny's tongue may slip, And you will find your sur- name On everybody's lip. MARIO MONTIM AGGI The editors and journalists Should bow their heads in shame, For though they all know English, They can't spell Mugi's name. ALLEN MORELLI We must admit he's unex- celled As actor or as homme d'af- faires, But if it's poetry he's to say- We're sorryHhe's Disabled there. HAROLD MORELLI Gleaming teeth, Twinkling eyes- He's a devil In disguise. RAYMOND MULLANEY Credit be Unto the boy Who squires his sister With pride and joy. ARLENE NEAL She has the Smile of Beauty Fred Allen talks about, Though called to serve in many ways, She knows not frown or pout. RUTH NICKERSON Of ORTHODONTIA We'd not heard Until she introduced The Word. ANNIE PAOLI In the Romance tongues she's excellent, But now we all contend: Does she the language of romance So fully comprehend? JEAN PEARSON A founsellor at camp, A co-ed in a college- Her violin provides delight, No one doubts her knowledge. BERNARD PETIT When Bunny sits in history class All he does is listen, This, however, we have learned- The price of junk has risen.

WILLIAM PETRELL Wee Willie Petrell Runs through the town, In his father's lumber truck Bumping up and down. 14 THE PILGRIM EVA PINTO You know the Old Woman who lived in a shoe Had nothing, dear Eva, had nothing on you.

JEANNETTE PIRANI If you have the same endur- ance At the job that you secure That you display in trucking, Your fame will long endure. ENIS PIZZOTTI What makes Dot so happy? What gave Jim the blues? If we d0n't know the answers, We beg Enis for the news. MARION PRATT We could think with far more reason Truth to be a liar- . Than that this peerless maid- en From studying could tire. MARIE RONCARATI If you'd tell the truth, Marie, We could know which one would be The right name to link with yours: Which can make the blushes leap To adorn fair lady's cheek- Which one your resistance lowers? ANENA ROSSETTI With dust-cloth in hand She's off to the fight: The teachers' room profits, She does the job right. WILLIAM RUDOLPH When the shadows of even- ing have fallen And the window-shades been pulled down, We find our Bill with his corn- cob pipe, Loafing around the town. JOHN RYAN Ryan's a banker And lawyer combined, Yet problems in history Vex his great mind. ROBERT SAMPSON 'Tis Bob's desire to be a plebe We wish him great success, But if he'd worked with greater zeal, We'd worry for him less. .I USTA SANTOS You'll find she's always chat- ting: When there's a thing to say, You may be sure that Justa Has said it yesterday. JAMES SCHILLING The criminals will land in jail And we'll more soundly sleep With Sleepy Schilling on the job, Patrolling on his beat. ALMA SCHREIBER A jingle will get you If you don't watch out!

ETHEL SHWOM The play's the thing, says Ethel, My metier this will be- To tread the boards, to play the part- Oh, that's the life for me! SIDNEY SINK His willing heart And clever hands For making posters Await our commands. RITA SMITH Hcr Hair for facts and figures She willingly would sell For skill to Weild a curling iron, Rcbellious locks to quell. ELIZABETH SNOW From capabilities like yours, From Willing hands and such Are fine girls made. To list them Is asking much too much. HELEN SPURR You make no bid for the spot- light But go quietly on your way, Content to do what must be done Throughout each livelong day. VINCENT STEFANI Since Store Pond has not frozen, Your patience has been tried: You could not thrill the girls this year B giving them a ride. ALFRED SWIFT Alfred is that quiet lad Who has a friendly smile: From Sagamore he rides each day O'er many a ftiresome?J mile. ELVIRA TADDIA Our facile nen moves slowly, W'fr're wracked by indecision: So many fine things we could say We can't decide on which one. L Y -I 16 ARRIGO TASSANARI When things don't go his way, He utters sounds most weird: If he would copy U. S. Grant, He could mutter in his beard. AUGUSTA TAVERNELLI Gussie made a handsome lad When she danced the minuet, But, no real masculine quality Have we found in her-yet. EDWARD TONG Ding! Dong! here comes Tong With an explanation: He tells us just what he be- lieves Without affectation. MARJORIE TRACY She's something of a paradox, If you know what we mean: She's not a shrinking violet, Yet at blushing she's su- preme. BEATRICE VINCENT Calm your fears, young lady, We don't deal in dirt: You know full well What we say here Isn't meant to hurt. ROY WEBBER Cue Ball isn't heard from much In his High School classes, Put in sports we're fairly sure With A's he always passes. MARY WEILD When in a quandry, Hamlet said, To be or'not to be , When tormented, Mary wailed, You can't hyperbole mel GEORGE WVHITE One may smile And be a villain - To prove Hamlet right George White is willin'. 'FRANCES WIRZBURGER Girls like Fran are rare, She's ladylike and sweety The girls of modern times With her cannot compete. ALICE WOOD We must propound a question, Because it baflies all- She looks demure and harm- less, but- Wat's she got on the ball? VINCENT YANNI Someone stole his heart away: What's the lady's name, you say? No mere mortal made a hit, 'Twas Parts of Speech that did the trick. ANITA ZACCHELLI We'll call you Zacchy, not Kelly, For it's easier to explain: That there's little Irish in you Is obvious from your name. THE PILGRIM 17 Class Prophecy EWG decades have passed since the memorable graduation day of the Class of '37, ventured John Ryan, the president of the Consolidated Can Com- pany, to three of his business associates as they sat enjoying a quiet evening at the Old Colony Club. By Jove, you're right, it is 1957! You make a rather opportune observa- tion, my dear Mr. Ryan, mused LeBaron Briggs, dean of Harvard, emerging from behind the Boston Herald Cnot Miss Brown'sJ. Then to show how his fine intellect had absorbed the news of the day, he continued, Have you seen the headlines this even- ing? Stanley Adfdyman has invented a new mechanism called the Futurescope. I suggest we run over and spend the re- mainder of the evening with him. What do you say to that, Mr. Brewer ? Mr. Brewer is now a financial wizard, rather closeflsted, but a shrewd business man. Good idea, Baron. Possibly I could transact a little business deal profitable to all of us. Does this idea appeal to you, Mr. Sampson ? Immensely, replied Sampson. Rob- ert, a retired midlshipman, fwho has never seen actual servicel is now acting as Harbor Master for the town of Plymouth. Realizing that we were persons of little soc-ial standing, for we consisted of one loquacious senator, one impoverished broker, and a Swing Band Orchestra leader, we had nothing to say. But cur- iosity prompted us to follow. Our desti- nation being at some diistance, we climbed into a Rudolph-Diesel-powered coupe and followed Ryan's Super- charged Fabri Deluxe Special. Shortly after starting, we observed a disheveled characted frantically rending his hair and exerting brute force upon a defense- less lamp pole. We stopped only to find Alan Hey, architect, on the verge of dis- traction. Barbara Armstrong, noted aviatrix, had given him definite orders to build a round house on a square foun- dation. Continuing on our mission, we were forced to slow down to allow a person to cross the road. It was Gordon Gorey, the famous phrenologist, who was slowly going mad trying to interpret a new bump which had appeared upon his craniulm. Further on, we passed the pre- tentious mansionof Harold Morelli, the surrealist. Our most opportune arrival permitted us to see Harold dodging ia vase of the Ming Dynasty, thrown by the pretty hands of Madeline Cavicchi, former Edgar Lee'.s Follies girl. Made- line had unleashed her violent Latin temper. We dashed drown a side street and passed the pawn shop owned and oper- ated by none other than Howard Ander- son. Our Rudlolph-Diesell-powered car now took us to an exclusive cafe, Gae- tano Brigida, Proprietor, where only the best of sea-flood was served. We stop- ped to sample the specialties of the house, prepared as only chef Roy Cleve- land Cwith the Voice you love to hearj could prepare them. Over in one corner there arose a commotioln. Voices grew louder, arms flew faster--and we recog- nized four of our old classmates. Sam Dickson, the head of the United Sewer Diggers, was arguing with Robert Emond, head of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, about the age-old problem of the best place to park chewing gum. Edmund Heath, liisping cowboy of High Street Creek, attempted mainly to put in a lisp edgewise with the aid of Ben Hall, the neurotic cigar manufacturer. The discussion became so heated that Guy was forced to call the riot squad, and soon those intrepid arms of the law, Captain Roger Fabri, Lieutenant Ray Mullaney, and Fl-atf7oot Fran Shea, entered to quell the disturbance. We were ofl again towards our desti- nation, and in our haste we nearly ran down Roy Webber, billiard champion, who was having hysterlics because the cue ball and the eight ball had jumped from the table and refused to be con- trolled. , But now our trip was ended, and we found ourselves outside the Addyman Laboratories. The doorman was a huge fellow, Fred Barbieri by name. The big brute refusedus adfmittance, but per- mitted those whom we followed to enter. Undaunted by this rough 'rebuke, we stealthily sped to the rear of the build- ing to climb the fire escape, barely es- caping deteotion by the night watchman, Francis Fabri. Traversing the roof, we were fortunate enough to ind a skylight directly over the main laboratory. There below us we could see Adldyman gesticu- lating wildly, as any true scientist should, and as he always had. ,He had just wel- comed his four visitors. It was impos- sible to overhear any of the conversa- tion, but the center of interest was a huge machine. We gathered that Addy 13 THE PILGRIM was explaining some intricate mechan- ism. He finally pulled a switch, adjusted a coil, and turned a dial. Light flashed upon the screen and meaningless blurs resolved into faint outlines. We were pleased to observe that the mechanism was a definite improvement over tele- vision. Imagine, if you will, the surprise we experienced when before our very eyes we saw on the screen Thelma Bentley teaching English in the Plymouth High School. Entering Miss Bentley's room as a visitor was Audrey Dutton, now eighth vice-president of the Chinapig Bank. Miss Dutton had evidently heard a new joke and was relating it to Miss Bentley with much gusto. The figure on the screen changed. We ascertained that Ruth Bartlett was sit- ting in a New York studio watching Joe Correa, Swing King, give last-minute directions to a character billed as the inebriat-ed piano player, because he wandered all over the keyboard. It was non-e other than Clarence Delano, who stood joking with Jeannette Pirani and Margy Tracy, The Harmony Sisters, and Ellen Shaw and Enis Pizotti, fea- tur-ed artists on the Maecaferri and Me- deiros Music Hour. George White, in- ternationally kn-own radio announcer, was reading a fan letter from Allen Cappella, cattle dealer. The scene shifted again, and now there was revealed to us the Anne Hanelt Deluxe Night Club. Among the glamorous entertainers in the floor show, we recognized June Seaver, Arlene Neal, Beatrice Bernier, and Rita DeCoste. Seated at the tables was a group of fashionable ladies evidently having a reunion of some kind. Among them we recognized Mary Bodell, noted novelist, Mary Brigida, efficiency ex- pert, Mary Curtin, graduate of Consim- middle College, Cwho is still trying to get rid of a license purchased at Sears Roebuckjg and Ruth Flairg, the war- den's secretary at Sing Sing. Sitting alone, Phyllis Johnson, dressed in a Hart Schaffner and Marx suit, was absorbed in Esquire, ,, Now there was revealed to us the in- terior of the great science building at Radio City. A group of serious-minded scientists was gathered in the center of the laboratory enjoying a game of dom- inoes, galloping. We recogn-ized among them Edwin Chadwich, Jr., Authority on Fleasg Arthur Lamb, Distilling Ex- pert, Vincent Yanni, Contamination Investigatorg and Louis Lima, the lead- ing authority on Portuguese Sausages. All four each eminent in his peculiar field, were enjoying a few moments of recreation before they attempted to solve the great problem--which came first, the chicken or the egg? The re- search work has been going on for more than twenty years. - Another flash and we gazed upon the college classroom of Prof. Kellen, A. B.g N. U. T.g B. V. D., professor of Latin at Boner's College. The Futurescope again shifted, and we scrutinized the All-American foot- ball team. Captain Telio Giammarco was drilling some green boys who looked suspiciously like Nick Carbone of B. C., Arrigo Tassinari, H. C.g Tony Jumbo Govoni, L. S. C., CLothrop Street Col- l-egej g and Edward Tong of Colgate. The captain was apparently having a difficult time, for the boys still clung to their high school technique. Now we observed Sidney Sink Jr., whose hobby was going around painting original mustaches on sign boards. Vin- cent Stefani, private detective for the Scribblit Advertising Agency, was fol- lowing him about, waiting to secure a new species of handl-ebar mustache to complete his evidence for convicting Sink. Almost at the same moment the screen showed us Alfred Swift, Chief of Police of Cedarville, making his one and only arrest in twenty years of duty. The prisoner was Two bits Magee, who had parked a bicycle overtime. , Ah! Milton Petit! great shortstop for the Boston Bees. With the aid of Petit, the Bees have a fine prospect of winning the pennant. Fiora Capp-ella, president of the Kum-on-up-sum-time Agate Com- pany, is an enthusiastic supporter of The Bees. Suddenly the locality changed to a scene quite different from anything we had viewed as yet. A huge dreadnaught plowed the seas. Inside the elaborate admiral's quarters we saw a dignified gentleman hiding behind a flowing mustache. Shades of Neptune! Why, see who it is! It's George Lemoine. The last we heard from him, he was working on a plan to eliminate holes from Swiss cheese. We still can't trust our eyes. On d-eck were three gobs. Believe it or not, they were Abel Carvalho, Richard Harlow, and Joe Caton. Caton was try- ing to extract a bicuspid from a plug of tobacco, while Carvalho was admiring a mustache to- which he had been devoted THE PILGRIM 19 since 1937. Harlow had recently aband- oned his campaign to return to favor the celluloid collar. Another quick change and the Future- scope portrayed a court scene. By this time nothing could surprise us. Ernest Hamblin a judge! but he was sleeping through the important case of Petrell vs. Giovanetti. Bill Petrell, the lumber magnate, was suing Aldo Giovanetti for the abdluotion of three thousand hard pine knots. Petrell had employed Ber- nard Petit, the famous criminal lawyer, and Giovanetti had retained Philip Covell. Philip, conserving his energy, had in turn hired J. J. Schillng to inves- tigate the claims of Petrell. The jury consisted of twelv-e women Chonest men are extremely difficult to findj and Petrel3l's chances of winning the case were negligibleg the women re- fused to be bribed. Scanning the faces of th-e bored jury, we found many old friends: Iria Albertini, Marie Roncar- ati, and Blanche Borghi tstill togetherj, Hazel Cleary, Melba Goyetch, Rita Cris- tofori, J usta Santos, and Thelma Cook. Relulctantly, we had to ab-andon the stirring events of the court scene, but it is only fair that we should acquaint you with the achievements of our fair jury. Iria, Marie, and Blanche have estab- lished a World-wide Love Bureau. Eleanor Brewer and Dot Haley have made their fortune through The Bounce- It-OH Stables. How femiininfe -aversion to avoirdupois has persisted through the years! , Hazel and Ruth Buwmpus are suppos- edly rival dietitians. Hazel makes a specialty of prepareing diets for the un- derweight while Ruth is doing a thriv- ing business prescribing for the obese. We have been led to believe by the town tattler, Mary Devitt, that Ruth and Hazel are working together. Ruth fat- tens them and sends them over to Hazel, and Hazel works in the opposite direc- tion. Could this be a violation of the Anti-Trust Act? Elsie Fortini, Rita, and J usta have an Italian Restaurant in North Plymouth. Thelma Cook, we learned through Miss Devitt, is the wife of Admiral G. F. Lemoline, and has been devoting her- self to the bringing up of tive little mid- shipmen. Little George Jr., wants to be a marine, much to Papa Lemoine's dis- gust. , Melba is the proud owner of a danc- ing school where all the innumerable new dance steps are taught. Next we found ourselves looking in upon Alice Wood, wealthy society ma- tron, who was at present entertaining a group of outstanding soci-alites. Among the guests was Mr. Gabriel Ferazzi, Esquire, prominent business man of the town. Mr. Ferazzi has mon- opolized the industry of cellophane rain- coats. Although this task required many years of plotting and scheming, he had finally succeeded in attaining his great objective. Another guest was Mrs. Harold Clark, fMary Weild to those Who knew herj, who now wore two pairs of glasses so that she might see properly. She was sipping tea with her hostess. Annie Paoli, famous composer and pi- anist, was playing an accompaniment for Ruth Butts, famed Metropolitan Opera star. Miss Butts ended her song on a note whnich Miss Paoli was unable to locate upon the keyboard. Miriam Klasky, authority on colonial furniture, was explaining the merits of a rickety chair to Ethel Shiwom, who has also climbed the ladder of fame as a comedienne. In one corner of the room Beatrice Vincent, world-famous tap dancer, was showing an intricate dance step to Wil- liam Clark, the town playboy. Bill was having a dmifiicult time, and suggested that Beatrice take a drive with hfim in his new beach wagon. The dinner gong rang at this moment and Bill postponed his drive until later in the evening. Everyone was soon seated Cthree sec- onds flath and food was brought to the hungry guests who knew, however, that their hunger would not be apfpeased un- less they liked fish. Professor Addiyman again manipulat- ed the controls of his invention and upon the screen- appeared a stately mansion, surrounded by beautiful lawns and shrub-s. A sign at the entrance to the d-rive read, Young Maids' Home Soci- ety. This organization had been estab- lished by and was supervised by none other than Cynthia Drew. After Miss Drew's graduation from P. H. S., she determined to become an old maid be- cause her gala night life had been some- what suppressed during her Senior year. We were shown the interior of the lounge Where- many young maids had gathered. The radio was being oper- ated at full blast, and music in the Benny Goodman manner filled the air. There was a little confusion in the cen- ter of the room and we noticed someone swinging it in the midst of the group. It was Phyllis Lovell! What was she doing here? We later learned the sad explanation. Phyllis had jilted so many Continued on page 33 or 20 THE PILIGRIM A Student's Idea of a Faculty Meeting MR. SHIPMAN, tenderly tacking down the little plume at the back of his head, and clearing his throat: Meeting please come to order! I presume you alt know precisely Why I have called this special meeting. We are here to discuss the all-important ques- tion . . . what can we do to pay a fitting tribute to that glorious, remarlcable, and extraordinary CLASS OF 1937 on the eve of its departure from this building ? fAwed silence at mention of the sacred name.J Miss Kelly and Miss Johnson whisper- ing together - 'Bzz, bzz, bzz, don't you think so ? Bzz, bzz,lbzz, yes, indeed 1 Mr. Bagnall, aroused by the whisper- ing from his pensive mood., shouts . . . Take a rest! Mrs. Raymond Crisingl From a psy- cological viewpoint, a bronze plaque, in- scribed with the full name of every mem- ber of Creyerehtlyj the CLASS OF 1937, would be most suitable. Besides being a valuable contribution to the school, it would be educational, inspirational, etcetera, etcetera, don't you know? I move that we pay tribute to A MOST UNUSUAL CLASS in this way. With an embarrassed laugh, Mr. Smiley tucks back into his vest pocket the curious head of that pesky snake from the wilds of Manomet. There are frightened feminine squeals and Miss Humphrey cautiously moves away. Then she rises and fixes her eyes on Mr. Mon- gan's travel poster which portrays the Alps in all their orange glory. CAS everyone knows, Mr. Mongan is especi- ally addicted to these colorful pano- ramas.J Clearing her throat, Miss Humphrey speaks. I second Mrs. Raymond's motion. Who knows but that some day, we may be able to point with pride to one of those engraved names and say, 'We knew hicm when l' The determined voice of Miss Carey is heard. Personally, I think there is entirely too much fuss being made about this matter. I have my doubts as to the worth of the Senior Class. The Sopho- mores, now! Theres a class for you! They are intelligents, polls, merveilleux, n'est-ce pas, Mademoiselle J aques? Miss Jacques nods her head vigor- ously. Mais oui, she affirms, oui, oui! Confusion reigns at ,this sharp differ- ence of opinion. Mrs. Raymond prepares to rise to the defense of the Class! Miss Carey firmly maintains her position. The tension is broken by Miss Lock- lwin's pleasant laugh. With a few well- chosen words, our great intermediary pours oil on the troubled waters and soothes the ruffled feelings. Suddenly the acrid odor of something burning assaults the nostrils of all those present, except Mr. Packard. He does not notice the odlor, for he has become quite inured to one or another by years spent in the chemistry laboratory. Miss McNerny sn-iifs apprehensively, then rushes quickly to the door. Oh, I might have known those boys from the cooking class would . . . but the rest of her speech is lost as the door slams behind her. Everybody is growing restless now. Miss Willoer and Miss Rafter begin to discuss the fall of the Roman Empire. Dreamily, Dr. Davis hums a strain from Liebestraum, anxious to return to his girls' glee club. Mr. Knowlton and Mrs. Garvin glance worriedly at the clock. Is it time for their daily workout with the dumbbells? Miss Dowling closes her eyes in pain, to shut out the glare of the travel posters. They are beginning to upset her. Suddenly, abofve the hubfbub, the voice of Miss Judd rings out. Pull-lee-uz, let's get back to the mat- ter in hand. Then. there is silence, and all eyes are focused upon Miss Brown as she slowly and majestically rises from the desktop, dislodging Miss Lang who has been fondly brushing chalk from her back. Why don't we gather up all these threads, these odds and ends and little details, and tuck them into a nutshell? I suggest that we' clinch the question by taking a vote' on the motion before the house. Miss Lang . . . Question, question! Mr. .Shipman . . . All those in favor ? ? ? ?

A. P. '37 THE PILGRIM 25 PRINCIPAUS COLUMN S OON after I began the study of German while still a student in a preparatory school, I read a very simple story entitled Ungedank ist der Welt Lohn . The translation is, Ulngratitude is the Reward of the World . This story was composed of citations of several in- cidents, plausible enough to be credible, which tended to prove that the statement contained in the title was generally true. I was not ready at that time, neither am I ready now, to accept the declaration without reservation, for I know there are many, many people who have been sincerely grateful for help given in time of need. On the other hand, the following accounts, the truth of which I can vouch for through personal knowledge, might well have been included in the story. How would you feel if you had loaned a young man a substantial sum of money to enable him to procure a college educa- tion, only to observe that almost before he secured a position he appeared on the road with a brand new automobile and was apparently oblivious to the fact that he had any financial or moral obligation to discharge? Furthermore, how would you feel if the months and years rolled by and no attempt was made to repay th-e- loan or give any explanation as to why the loan could not be repaid? Wouldn't you be constrained to say as did the benefactor concerned in this case, I wonder if it was worth while? Again, you are in the grocery busi- ness. You have been established for a number of years, have a reputation for honest dealing, and have- served your neighbors and friends as customers. The chain stores come in and lure away their patronage. Then one of your former customers has a bit of hard luck and is temporarily unable to pay cash for his purchases. He, therefore, returns to you and asks that you extend to him the privilege of running a charge account, a request you readily grant. What hap- pens? When he regains his financial footing. your erstwhile friend again patronizes the chain stores, leaves you an indebtedness of approximately S200., and cairries his groceries home in a brand new car. Do you feel like doing it again? College men are often quite indiffer- ent to their obligations. I know that in one of our New England colleges only about one-half of the boys aided from the loan fund ever make any attempt to repay their borrowings. Thus they fail to meet their obligations squarely and prevent other needy students from getting assistance. I am compelled to believe that in- stances such as these I have related are typical and occur altogether too fre- quently. I am equally convinced that there are many other situations which offer a direct contrast to them and dis- close much happier conditions. I think there can be no question about which are the more desirable and commenda- ble. Admittedly every one works better, -with much more zest and greater sat- isfaction, if his eiorts are appreciated. A genuine Thank you is a tremendous help. But gratitude can and should ex- press itself in deeds as well as words. May I urge at this time when you are contemplating what the future may have in store for you after graduation that you include as an integral part of your philosophy of life an attitude of genuin-e appreciation? And may I urge further that you give due expression to that appreciation by fulfilling all obliga- tions and by transcending, if possible, the highest hopes of your friends, your well-wishers, or benefactors? I beseech you to do whatever you can to disprove the truth of the declaration that In- gratitude is the Reward of the World. WAYNE M. SHIPMAN Principal Who ever heard of a Cook without any meals?

AS the years roll on, our great holi- days, both national and interna- tional, are gradually losing their mean- ing. The significance of each holiday is being obscured in a morass of celebra- tion. To the schoolboy, a holiday is a glad- some event, mainly because that day is one on which he may escape from school and amuse himself as he pleases. To the worker, a holiday means a few mo- ments of surcease from toil and care. To the housewife and moth-er, alas, a holi- day is not a day of rejoicing, but of work. Usually she must prepare a hearty meal whiile attempting to sub- due exuberant childish spirits. One of the holiday attractions is the creaking festive board. Our principal holidays are almost entirely celebrated with large dinners. In fact, Thanks- giving is looked forward to mostly be- cause of the noble turkey. The custom of eating a lavish meal originated with the Pilgrims, but the thankfulness of our forefathers is forgotten when we plunge into the festivities. Christmas, originally the most solemn celebration of the Christian world, has degenerated into an orgy of gift-giving. The children of today first associate Christmas with the mythical figure of Santa Claus. The presentation of gifts has its association with the first Christ- mas, however, presents are now the major part of our greatest holiday. Somehow, in the mad rush of a depart- ment store at Christmas time, one sees only a mob of avid shoppers hastening to comiplete a disagreeable task as soon as possible. The Christmas gift should satisfy a long-felt Want and should be given selflessly. Too often, he who gives the present merely proposes to surpass the gift which he hopes to receive in return. While the store-made Christmas is very lovely, the home-made Christmas is often more satisfying. Althougwh we still sing carols and somewhat retain the spirit of good-will, the true significance of Christmas has been lost. In the hustle and bustle of the modern world, we find less and less time to devote to sentiment. Surely this day of the year should be commemorated as well as celebrated. On Easter Sunday, a day celebrated throughout the world as a holy day, thousands of Women who do not regu- larly attend church, come to services. The majority of these women come, not because they feel any speoial significance in that day, but because they want to exhibit a new spring ensemble. Chill winter winds may blow, yet only a bliz- zard can prevent the fashion parade be- fore and after services. The choir may sing with the sweetness of angels, the organ may whisper or thunder its ex- ultation, the minister may rise to the pinnacle of eloquence, but all to often Mrs. Smith is distracted by the fact that Mrs. Jones is arrayed in a hat iden- tical to th-at one which she hers-elf wears. Perhaps Memomorial Day is commem- orated with more authentic emotion than any other holiday. Yet, even on the day reserved for urs to reverence the memory of our soldiers, some thought- less individuals consider the time ap- propriate for packing a picnic basket and going for a ride. It is not necessary that one be prig- gish or unduly solemn in the celebration of holidays. However, somehow the spirit with which our forefathers in- tended the holidays to be invested, has been almost submerged by the material 6l6IT19I'1itS. PHYLLIS JOHNSON '37 A WOODLAND RETREAT 'Neath hooded trees of solemn mien, Through aisles unmarked by human tread, I passed alone. That sylvan scene Will long be one I may recall When thinking of what might have been. In calm profound the still retreat Seemed e'er to echo every step As I advanced with eager feet. I was a mere intruder there So far from noise and busy street. The inspirational appeal Of woodlands clad in wintry garb Is something one cannot but feel. The silence and the church-like air Make worldly troubles seem unreal.

'HNCLE LETHER sat on a downtown street corner. In his hand he held a sheaf of pencils and a tin cup, the latter for the con- venience of the purchasers of the former, and on his knees he held Sorrowful Susie, a dilapi- dated accordian. It was more through Sorrow- ful Susie that he earned a living than through the pencils, for, after all, pencils are only a commodity that one can buy almost anywhere, whereas Sorrowful Susie advertised Uncle Lether at least a block off, and when the traf- fic was light, two blocks. There were no business opportunities for Uncle Le-ther's kind, but on a busy street cor- ner, sitting on a camp stool with the whining of Sorrowfull Susie to attract attention, he managed to earn a living of sorts from Mobile's kind-hearted public. It was of necessity a hand-to-mouth existence. Changes of season were propitious because the people discarded certain clothes and assumed certain others, and regular patrons were likely to drop a bun- dle of wearables alongside Uncle Lether's camp stool. But dependence on the public was a pre- carious thing. Happily, life and experience had made of Uncle Lether a philosopher, if not a stoic. Years of ploughing and spading under semi-tropical sky, of struggle against the in- imical forces of nature and of life had bred in him endurance. He bore the fogs of early win- ter and dampness of early spring, showers and downpours, humidity and drouths, sunlight and thunderstorm. Sometimes when the sun grow hot, he shifted his stool to a shady spot. When it rained, he let it rain on him, unless the downpour became too great. Then he would retire to a convenient entry or portico, where he would efface himself humbly against a wall. Uncle Lether brought Sorrowful Susie's whine to a creaking halt and looked into the tin cup. He shook it and counted his earnings despond- ently. It was five 0'clock in the afternoon and the number of pencils had barely decreased that day. Spec folks don' wan' buy pencils Chris'- mus Eve, he told himself, apologizing for his negligent public. Got dere min's busy some- whar's else. Christmas had been hard on Uncle Lether. Crowds were thicker and more hurried and more careless. Sometimes people stepped on Uncle Lether's feet and jostled his stool almost from under him. He had to guard Sorrowful Susie carefully, too, because dam- age to Sorrowful Su-sie would be a tragedy for her owner. Darkness comes easily in midwinter, even to Mobile. A dinginess fell upon the streets, footsteps quickened, here and there a light twinkled. Soon it would be dark and there was slight chance of Sorrowful Susie's at- tracting any trade after nightfall, even if Uncle Lether's aching old body could hold out longer. He sighed and braced himself for a final effort. One more tune from Sorrowfull Susie and then he'd go home. He coaxed a whine gently from her shabby and faded folds. His old tired voice rose quaveringly in earnest strains against Susie's moan. No clink of coin cheered his ear, however, so he rose reluct- antly and prepared to close up his business for the day. A han-dsome limousine slowed up by traffic droned at the corner and its occupant, looking out lanquidly, saw the old man. The despondent figure held the observer's eye. Uncle Lether saw the splendid car, the liveried chauffeur, and gave a gasp at the figure sitting in the back seat. He blinked a time or two. Lokky dat, will yuh! First time I ebber seed nigger chauffin' nigger. Black ez de ace ob spades en dress lak white man, hunk, hunk! Neveh seed nigger like that befo' Look lak king ob cah-na-val, he do. , Others besides Uncle Lether stared at a sight unusual in Mobile-the sight of a black man groomed and pressed lolling in a monster car, with another black man for chauffeur. Santa Claus himself wouldn't have aroused such com- ment, amusement, and in some cases, indigna- tion, but in Uncle Lether it aroused only mirth. The stranger, his light gray felt at a doggy angle on his head, leaned out of the window of his car and gazed at Uncle Lether. Finally he gave an order to his chauffeur, leaped from the car, and approached Uncle Lether. What luck, Uncle? he addressed the as- tonished old man. How dat? Wot, suh? Luck? Hunk? Ain't had no luck today. Guess folks too busy ruslin' gifts to want pencils, Suh. The stranger peered into Uncle Lether's cup. A pucker of thought creased his polished fore- head. Then, a sudden decision seemd to strike him. He took off his hat and clapped Uncle Lether's old flapping one on his head in itil place. Give me your coat, he told the old man. He threw Uncle Lether his own neatly- pressed garment and grabbed Uncle Lether's. Then an extraordinary scene ensued. .Gone in a minute was the elegant young negro. In his place was a Ugenuwine nigger, thought the astonished Uncle Lether, with a shabby hat over his woolly head and scare-crow coat flap- ping on his swaying figure, and shuming feet like those of a cottonfield darkie. Sorrowful Susie woke up startled, whined vigorously, and passersby were no longer indiferent. It was as if Sorrowful Susie had recognized a master hand. Boldly out to the curb the stranger jigged, playing Sorrowful Susie in a way that awoke memories of plantation life. He was obstructing traffic, but nobody cared. People were blocking the sidewalk, but nobody cared. The stranger paused, a clamor arose. The droll, good-natured face beamed amiably at the crowd, and the crowd guffawed back. De early bird taks de worm, B-ut who gwine tek de worm enyhow? A policeman came up frowning to investigate the mob. But he stayed to listen. The singer was growing sentimental. Negro spirituals held the crowd spellbound. Before their magic had subsided, the quick- footed negro was in and out of the crowd with Uncle Lether's old hat held firmly in both hands. Coaxing here, joking here, and flatter- ing there, he collected. When he returned, the ancient hat sagged dangerously. Uncle Lether's cyes popped when he saw the money. Mah hebbenly Fadder, he expostulated. The stranger was removing Uncle Lether's old coat and putting on his own elegant one. He rearranged his hat and trousers and dusted off his shoes. I hope that you have a good Christmas, Uncle, he said. I was born in Alabama my- self, and seeing you brought back old mem- ories. Good luck to you, Uncle. Uncle Lether barely managed to emit a Tanky, Suh, as the stranger walked briskly across the sidewalk, leaped into his car, and was swallowed by the slowly-moving stream of traffic. It was all a dream to Uncle Lether. 30 THE PILGRIM It couldn't have happened, he said to himself as he hobbled his way homeward along the avenue. He stopped at a dazzling electric sign visible for blocks ahead. It revealed two colored figures on a billboard, one an elegant, suave man, the other a rowdy, jigging, cotton-field darky. In letters two feet high were the words: Dolty Walters, The Greatest Negro Comedian in the World, Fresh from European Triumphs -Christmas Week Only at the Arbian Theatre! Uncle Lether gaped at the figures-but of course Uncle Lether couldn't read. Vernon Kirkey '38 LEARNING TO SKATE af HERE comes a time in your life when you wonder, what move to make next, and whether, after you have made that move, it will prove to have been for the best. That time comes when, on a cool December morning, you put on a pair of skates for the first time in your life, and sally forth upon the ice to seek new fields of adven-ture. You slowly place your feet on the ice and are quite surprised to Hnd that you are able to stand on them at all. Your pleasure is short- lived, however, for as you advance one foot cautiously, your other foot comes up not quite so carefully. It is not long before both feet are out in front and gaining fast, and you have the rather giddy feeling that you are in an ele- vator which has broken loose and is falling ten THE F LAMING SWORD Many are the years we've toiled, Fashioning a gleaming blade. May its honor ne'er be soiled- Hope and faith in us betrayed. Flaming sword! Wrought of finest, truest steel- Knowledge, service, labor, trust, Splendid precepts these to seal Our pact. Light our path! You must, Flaming sword! Tempered in the fires of woe, Sorrow, hopes once dashed aside Test our weapon as we go Forward. Raise our courage tried, Flaming sword! Gladsome hours bejewel the hilt, Fill our hearts with mem'ries fond- Friendships that of joys were built, Closely may you weld the bond, Flaming sword! i'Thirty-seven, comrades all, Flourish high your flashing brands, Sally forth from castle wall! May your presence guide our hands, Flaming sword! Phyllis M. Johnson ,37 floors to the cellar. When the crash comes, you sit there stunned and wonder if you had better try it again. If the day is sunny and rather Warm and the sun has formed a small amounft of moisture on the surface of the ice in a few places, you invariably pick one of these in which to land, which is disconcerting to say the least. In this event you are not quite so likely to sit and meditate as you were in the former case. Finally, however, you get up and try again, and perhaps this time you go about five steps before the ice comes rushing up to meet you the second time. Before a half hour is over, you have been able to glide a few yards with- out a fall, and you have learned to fall more scientifically in order to reecive only a mini- mum of bruises. , You then notice that the other skaters go faster by sticking their foot into the ice and shoving. You try it and find that the method works. However, the following summer you realize that the method is not for general use when you strap on a pair of roller skates and attempt to dig your foot into the smooth ce- ment sidewalk on which you are skating to find it a bit more unyielding than was the ice. The rest of the morning you devote to the improvement of your technique, and you ob- serve with cheer that the number of falls is de- creasing. When you go home at noon with aching feet, you try to kid yourself into think- ing that you have learned to skate, but you know that it will be a long time before you become a second Irving Jaffee. Richard Tubbs '39 CEMETERY IN LATE AUTUMN Still is the wind, in heavy, brooding peace,- And dim, the light. Drab whorls of draggled leaves Long-dead, trace slow parabolas from weary trees, Who, with stark limbs uplifted, wait -and grieve. The somber gray of this ephemeral day Blendslwith the gray of headstones, dims their mes. Did ever grass her soothing fingers lay On this hard earth? Did glossy myrtle vines Embrace these stones and intimately cling To fragrant ground? Did mauve wistaria gay Enrich the place with jewels of amethyst? Once-it seems long ago, the glance of Spring And Midas-touch of sun made gladsome, this, Awoke its beauty, drove the gloom away. Mary Bodell '37 WOODS IN WINTER MOONIGHT The round full moon its bright light sheds On whitened earth this winter night. Each pine tree bears its load of snow In silhouette against the sky. The rabbits from their sylvan beds, Small birds from perches start in fright On hearing near at hand their foe, The great horned owl, no killer shy. The silence and the stillness clear Are further broken by the sounds Of geese that flee the frozen north, Whose honking loud makes known their flight. Now here we see a white-tailed deer That leaps away with graceful bounds. The fox in search of mice sets forth, Alive are woods on winter's night. L. B. R.

Things are bad enough as they are with-out my going out of the way to make myself miserable. But every once in a while inspection of my- self is unavoidable. There are certain mirrors in town with which I am brought face to face on occasion, and there is nothing to do but make the best of what I see. . I am unquestionably at my worst in the mir- ror before which I try on hats. I may have lived all winter comforted by the thought that I was a decent sort of person, one from who-se countenance shone the light of honesty and courage which is even more desirable than physical beauty. I may have imagined that little children on the street and court Justices out for a walk, turned when I passed and said, A fine face. Plain, but fine. Then I decide to buy a hat. The mirror in the store is a triplicate, so that I can examine myself from various angles. The appearance that I present to myself in this mirror suggests the police department photographs of a young girl who is wanted on a murder charge. All that is missing is a scar across the right cheek. But for an unfavorable full-length view, nothing can compare with the one I get of my- self as I pass the shoe store. It boasts a mirror in the window, set at such an angle that it catches the reflection of people as they step up on the curb. When I pass by the shoe store, I am mortified to find that the unpleasant-looking girl, with the rather masculine, swinging walk, is none other than myself. The only good mirror which I have discov- ered is the one in the elevator. This mirror permits only a two-thirds view, rendering it impossible for me to see how badly my skirt hangs under my coat. I have often thought 'that I might be handsome if I paid as much attention to myself as some girls do, and in this mirror my clothes look as well as any- body's. I wonder if it is very difficult to oper- ate an elevator, for if it isn't, I know what my life work is to be. I shall run that car with the magic mirror. Edna Daly WHICH HORSE WOULD YOU LIKE? UHE five-letter word horse brings many pictures before our eyes. Some are pitiful, some are amusing. Take, for instance, the Hobby Horse. The Hobby Horse has his stable at the carnival. Hundreds of children go to see him whenever he comes to town, and ride upon his bare back. He is always seen going in the same direction. chasing his part- ner who is ahead of him, and followed by many others. If wishes were horses, children would ride them until the moon turned green. Another favorite horse of the children is called the Rocking Horse. He is an unde- termined sort of fellow, for he can never decide which direction he wishes to go, forward or backward. Do you know the favorite horse of a friend of mine who is a carpenter? It is the Saw Horse. To the majority it's nothing but a wooden rack for sawing wood, but to him it's his best friend. My mother never did like horses, but on rainy days she always found her friend. He is called the Clothes Horse. Talking about everybody else's favorite horse, I haven't as yet told you mine. He is a racing horse. I see him many times in line, impatient for the signal to be given. His beau- tiful head held high, he is admired by the ex- cited crowd. The signal is given and off he dashes, only to be lost in a cloud of dust. There is one old horse who prowls around in the night. No one likes him. I, myself, have a certain horror if him. He is always seen after one eats too much strawberry shortcake or bananas smothered in cream before going to bed. He is called the Night Mare. Anna Riley FACES BID you ever stop in front of a store window where someone was demonstrating a new appliance? Of course you have. The demon- strator is usually Ia delicious young blond, an attraction in herself. She is showing the public how the Ducky Doughnut Maker can beat up, fry, and deliver the best doughnuts on the market. The young lady, attired in a smart uniform and rather red in the face from exer- tion, thinks personally that she wouldn't buy the Ducky Doughnut Maker on a bet. Even though exhausted, she smiles serenely upon a sea of faces,-faces that are round, narrow, fat, thin, kindly, serious, mean, mocking, funny, wrinkled, sarcastic, and laughing. That face in the front row, staring so fixedly at her, was mean and brutal. The eyes were small and squinty, the mouth a mere slit. The sight made her shudder. Her gaze passed on to the face of an old man, deeply furrowed, with sunken eyes looking hungrily at the food she was preparing. She turned' her gl-ance quickly away and noticed over at one side a young lady, evidently very bored. She stared straight ahead, unwilling even to look at the demonstration, her thin nose suggesting indig- nation because her escort saw fit to detain her. The man standing next to her grinned at the blonde. He had .forgotten for the moment his companion and his surroundings. He thought only, Gee, not bad! and she can cook, too. The lady with him started to pull away. He followed reluctantly. Pushing into their place came a stocky wo- man, a housewife from a stuffy little four-room fiat on the lower East Side. Sihe was followed by a meek little man who tugged fearfully at her sleeve, urging her to come on. She shook off his hand impatiently. Poor little man, thought the girl. She studied the face of a tiny old lady with white wisps of hair straggling from under a perky, black bonnet. Her eyes smiled at the girl and her head briskly nodded encouragement. The girl returned the smile. Far back in the crowd she discerned the face of a young bride. There was wonderment In her eyes. Would she ever be able to make such delicious doughnuts? Only this morn- ing Harry had told her she'd kill him yet, feeding him chunks of cement. She'd show him! And she made her way into the store to purchase the miraculous doughnut maker. Following in her footsteps came a tall, husky THE PILGRIM 33 fellow shouldering his way through the crowd. The face of the girl in the window lighted. She recognized that face! It must be near quitting time. Bill always cam-e after her. He looked happy and excited. Maybe he'd land- ed that job after all. Oh, please, Lord, let it it be so, she prayed as she smiled for the last time at the gradually diminishing audience and pulled the curtain down swiftly before that sea of faces. B. Studley A LITTLE AND A LOT SOME things that have always bothered me are things like--how much is a lot and how small is a little? Can a little be a lot and can a lot be a little? Will a lot be only a little if it is only a little more than the little-and a lot less than the lot which is a lot more than the original lot? Will a little be a lot if it is a lot more than a little, which is a lot less than the little which is, perchance, a lot? The dictionary indicates that a little is a small quantity and a lot is a large quantity but, for example, we have a piece of bread one inch square. If anyone were asked how much bread the one-inch square was, he would say that it was a little piece of bread but, com- pared to a crumb of bread, it's a lot of bread. If this piece of bread were given to a man, it would be only a little bit of bread which could hardly satisfy his appetite, but, given to an ant, it would be a lot of bread, for it would make him a fortunate ant in that it could sup- ply enough nourishment. Now we come to the problem of when a lot may be a little. A man, we shall say, has a lot of strength, but someone comes along and knocks him for a loop. Therefore, the man who clipped him has a little more or a lot more strength than the man who, presumably, had a lot of strength. The man who had a lot of strength has only a little strength compared to the man who overcame him but, compared to others, he still has a lot of strength. I could examine this lot and little business indefinitely but, as the problem is making me somewhat dizzy, I shall leave its further ex- position to others. For myself, I shall abide implicitly by what the dictionary says,-or shall I? George Heath THE SLEEPLESS NIGHT As a leaf goes scurrying down the street, With the ghostly sound of hastening feet, I pound my pillow and toss my head, While my body squirms on the burning bed. The room seems filled with nagging light,- My curse on thee! O Sleepless Night! And when in a rage, I have essayed To quiet that flapping window shade, To my hateful bed I slowly go,- When suddenly I stub my toe. O wretched chair! Thou horrid blight! My curse on thee! O Sleepless Night! I smooth the blankets from a tangled heap, And settle myself to woo coy Sleep. I find reward in my weary quest, For I am wrapped in the arms of rest. As I drift into sleep in the graying light- My curse on thee! O Sleepless Night! Phyllis Johnson Continued from page 19 CLASS PROPHECY suitors that her conscience began to tor- ment her. Then, like Queen Guinevere, she had withdrawn from the gay world into the protecting seclusion of the Young Maids' Home. There was more commotion in an- other part of the lounge. Someone was boisterously voicing an opinion. We sus- pected who it was almost immediately, and sure enough - ! it was Doris Masi. Doris became rather dramatic at times and Pearl Kaiser by her side tried to calm her, as usual. Perhaps you, too, are wondering what Pearl was doing in such a p-lace as this? It was said that, in ord-er to provide escape from her many male admirers, she had joined the soci- ety and found its influence helpful. As we inspected the building, we noticed other familiar faces. In the library we found three former movie actresses who could no longer en- dure the bright lights of Hlollywood. They were Betty Holmes, the star of The Eternal Movementug Mary Geno- vese, great singing star of the Follies of Plymouth, Mass. 5 and Julia Hall, famous for her glamorous love scenes with that great actor, Sir Mahrio Mon- ti-Maggi. Over in a far corner we observed Jean Pearson and Marjorie Harlow, both one- time dr-ess design-ers, criticizing the clothes worn by two serious-looking wo- men, Marion Pratt and Elda Guaraldi. Elda and Marion were hiding behind two huge books, but we knew they weren't reading because they fthe booksj were both upside down. -Evi- dently they were both absorbing Jean and Marjorie's conversation, and were just waiting for a chance to avenge their hurt pride. We hastily moved to another section of the building. I On the westerly en-d of the grounds we stopped a moment to watch Lois Holmes and Florence Guerra doing some paint- ing. The subject presented difficulties, for it was a worm peeping from a large Baldwin apple. Directly behind them, in a small al- cove, we heard Rose Ingenito and Eva Jesse gossiping about the affairs of some of the old maids. Eva had been talking ste-adily for twenty minutes and we grew weary waiting for her to take a breath. Rose had become so engrossed in the conversation that she forgot what she was doing and knitted a chain com- pletely around herself and the chair. We moved on just as she discovered her plight. 34 THE PILGRIM Sophomore Poetry Page S PINENEEDLE TRAILS E As I walk down through woody paths, E Through trees of brown 'and green, E I see the robins taking baths 5 In springs so pure and clean.

THE PILGRIIVI 35 It appeared that the majority of the young maids were perfectly contented with life here at the home, and they spent much of their time in reading, painting, knitting, and gossiping. June Seaver and Alma Schrieber were busy examining a magazine -entitled Lost Love. Some time later we learned that the small society had been disbanded. Cer- tain of the ladies could not comply with some of the rul-es. Eventually most of the maidens joined a r-evolt instigated by several malcontents, and Cynthia Drew's lifelong work crashed in ruins. After a short delay, the Futurescope produced upon the screen a fashionable beauty salon owned and operated by the four beauty experts, Olive Mello, Alma Lenzi, Anena Rossetti, and Arlen-e Keough. All four have spent the better part of their lives studying in Europe to perfect their art. Their beauty salon has acquired such a reputation that women from all parts of the world come to re- ceive treatment. Also important to the organization were Elvira Taddia, the secretary, and Rita Smith, the treasurer. Emily Mello and Augusta Tavernelli held positions as premier masseuses. Elizabeth Snow, having just Hnished touring Europ-e with the hillbilly troupe, The Plymouth Rock Ridge-runners, was giving the bones a rest in order to receive an impermanent wave. Dorine Kirkey was having a manicure from Frances Wirzburger. Florence Marshall was reading a movie magazine while sweltering under a dryer. In the Waiting room, Helen Spurr, owner of the Cashonly Department Store, was chat- ting with her manager, Anita Ziachelli. Next door to the fashionable beauty salon was the prosperous dental clinic of Ruth Nickerson. Ruth has made such an intensive study of her chosen profes- sion thiat she has twice been awarded a national prize for the greatest contri- bution of the year to the health of school children. Kathryn Sampson, her secre- tary, Was conversing with Eva Pinto. Eva had married a successful business man some years ago and was do-ing very well. She had just brought her twins to the dental clinic to have their teeth ex- amined. When nothing further appeared upon the screen of the Futurescope, Professor Addymian frantically manipulated the dials and then declared in no uncertain terms, Thats all. As the four visitors prepared to leave, we three observers above also began our descent. When we reached our Rudolph- Diesel-powered coupe, we discovered that The Big Four had just departed. We decided to follow them further in their exploits. At length we found our- selves outside thie limits of the town driving through a dreary cemetery. The four Whom we pursued, halted to pick up Norman Jones who was indulging his fondness for walks in the dim con- fines of the cemetery. To the victors, it has been said, belong the spoils. Yet we imagine that most of the members of the Class of 1937 will belong to that great group of people who are neither spectacular winners nor abject losers -the Johnny Q. Publics who constitute the real strength of any nation. J oHN CAVICCHI PAUL SEARS ALLEN MoRELL1 THE TWENTY-THIRD PSALM OF ENGLISH She is my English teacher.

This is the voice of Plymouth High School broad- casting a resume of the highlights of our first year in the new building !- The first n-ews that directly affected the student body was the announcement concerning the postponement of the opening date of school. Although all looked eagerly forward to entering the new structure, an added vacation was welcomed.- On November 16, parents turned out en masse to inspect the new building and to attend the formal dedication ex- ercises. All were sincere in their praises. Earlier in the day the students had par- ticiipasted in their own dedication cere- monies. The guest speaker on that oc- casion Was Dean Richard M. Gummere of Harvard University, Department of Admissions.- With the formality of the opening of th-e new school over, we-eagerly awaited the first dramatic presentation. This came to us in the form of a presentation entitled, The First Thanksgiving Dinner . The play, the first to be en- acted on the stage of our new 2'p328,000 building, was presented by Juniors under the direotion of Miss Humphrey and Miss Judd. Now, certainly, our dra- matists will rise to new heights.- Joy swept through the Senior class!! It had been promised the first date for a dlanlc-e in the new gymnasium. December 4, 1936, was the dat-e and, after the committee had labored long and had experienced jangled nerves, the dancers arrived and the evening proved successful.- Close upon this affair, in fact only one week later, came the Fall Sports Dance. Needless to say that with the hustling of all athletes under the direction of Mr. Knowlton and Mrs. Garvin, this affair was also a success. - As might be expected when inspired by a new building, a new feature was in- troduced this year by the Mas-sasoit Chapter of the National ,Honor Society. This innovation, Alumni Day, was well attended by graduates who visited with teachers, inspected the building, and en- joyed a program prepared especially for them. Talks by Miss Laura Brown and Gilbert Harlow proved to be very inter- esting, and these, in conjunction with a special musical program, provided an in- teresting assembly. Because of the suc- cess of Alumni Day, the Honor Society plans to make it an annual event.- Christmas comes but once a year! sang the Seniors. But it came too quickly this year, and the idea of a Christmas play was abandoned. Instead, under the guidance of Mrs. Raymond, the seniors presented a series of tableaux portnay- ing, Christmas Th-en and Now, at Home and Abroad. This was a varia- tion from the usual Christmas assem- blies, and was well received by the students.- March 19 saw our attention focused on Memorial Hall where the 2nd Annual Circus was held. The Circus, or Vau- Devil show, included twenty acts of ac- robatic feats, tap dancing, tumbling, and novelty dances. So successful was the Circus this year that plans are al- ready underway for next year's per- formance. On April 15 the members of the Student Activities Society played host to the Southeastern Branch of Student Activities Societies. Two l1undred.,p1ipils from various schools were present when President Morelli called the me-eting to order at 4:00 o'clock. Round-table discussion followed the business meet- ing and dancing preceded the supper at 6:30. A variety of entertainment was presented to the guests during the supper hour, and the meeting was ad- journed at 8 :30. Under the sponsorship of the Student Activities Society, the students were priviledged to see three exceedingly en- tertaining assembliesg one on liquid air, a musical program, and an illustrated lecture on th-e Klondike fPa-ge Baron Munchausenlj. These programs were beyond a doubt the kind of entertain- ment Which educates as well as amuses. . First in War, First in Peace, and First President to visit our new school 98 THE PILGRIM was George Washington. George, im- personated by Lawrence Hart, was the feature of the Washington Assembly. Mr. Washington was heard to exclaim that the minuet dlanced by Junior and Senior girls was the best he had seen since early plantation days . Miss Brown and Mr. Bagnell were the teacher spon- sors.- These events ar-e only the most out- standing ones of the year. We all remem- ber many other pleasing interludes that will always be associated with our high school days. Remember the 'iGreat Bruce -you tell me how he escaped from the trunk, the Olympian Male Quartet, Zing, Zang, Zoom! Zumlg th-e world's dhampion typfisft, Mr. George Hossfieldg the various movies by Luther Peck, and the presentation of Snow Trails of 1936 ?- Surely, circulation, you will agree that the past year has been one of great pnogress for Plymouth High School. We predict a glorious future for it. So until our next news roundup, the voice of Plymouth High bids you, Make more news! JOHN RYAN AMEDEO GALVANI HOBO CODE OF ETHICS 1.

Many celebri- ties, among them many of our alumni, are arriving, and we may be able to get some of them to say a few words to you through the microphone. Our first celebrity is Dean Beytes. ,He can almost surely be counted upon to give to you his idea of Mass. State-that is, unless his attitude toward the spoken word has changed a great deal. Unaccustomed as I am to public speaking, I will tell you that I think a freshman's life can be full of strange and wondrous experiences. It must be that Mass. State has changed Dean. He's gone terse and pla- ti-tudinous on us. Here is a group of last year's gradu- ates led by Lucy Mayo and Pauline Viau. Lucy and Pauline apparently will not trust themselves to the microphone be- cause they are hurrying by with averted gaze, but it's no secret that they both attend Chandler Secretarial School in Boston. Beh-ind them stroll Jean Whiting and Alba Martinelli, both from Bridgewater State Teachers College. Alba is most willing to say a few words to you, and Jean indicates that Alba can very easily speak for both of them so-the micro- phone is yours, Alba. It certainly seem-s good to be here, and I am pleasantly reminded of the Junior Prom of the Class of 1936. There will never be another one like that. Since we have been attending Bridgewater and have b-een learning the duties of a teacher, we can tell you, without exag- geration, that the life of a teacher is a very serious one. We have learned why a teacher very seldom giggles, why she frowns at childish pranks, and why she looks as if she bore the burdens of the world upon her shoulders. Nevertheless it is the life we have chosen, and we don't regret it-yet. But there may be a little difference of opinion, for here comes Margaret Dono- van, a girl who preferred another school in which to get her teacher training. Struggles do not seem to have dampened her spirits, however. We can only hope that these girls will add to the prestige of Plymouth High as they seek success for themselves. Here comes Virginia Wood, tripping through the hall in an unladylike fash- ion in order to catch up with Lucy Mayo and th-e rest of her friends. She won't pause to say a word, and, even if she would, she couldihardly be coherent be- cause she is practically breathless. On her way past the microphone she asks me to tell you that she is now attending Boston University, but she still feels that the days in Plymouth High School were the happiest. W-e have heard that Vir- ginia would like to transfer to a school in the deep south where there is a climate more to her liking. Our next celebrity is a person who is not attending college. Katherine Samp- son labors in the oflice of the Puritan Mills, a very capable secretary, I have heard. Katherine Clhristie and Arlene Dries are too bashful to speak to their public , but they wish me to tell you that they did the right thing when they en- rolled at Bryant College. It's a good thing that Lucy Mayo and Pauline Viau have already entered the hall-for the Misses Christie and Dries tell me that they have decided to become the world's best stenographers. Norma Caswell and Thelma Birnstein approach us with the information that they -are working at the Metropolitan Life Insurance Oflice. Glad the glitter- ing World Outsid-e hasn't lured you from our midst, girls. Well, well, well, here come some of our old friends whom we haven't seen together for a long time. Marjorie Can- toni and Natalie Rubinstein are just ap- proaching. Natalie's manner is some- what restrained, but Margie is not afflicted in the same manner. She's as volublleas ever. It's trite but true-Life's no bed of roses, but it takes more than a course at Simmons to keep two good girls down. As ent-erprising as ever, Margie! Here are two guests who believe what was good enough for their sisters is good enough for them, Barbara Mellor, who is attending Wellesley College, and Lucy Holmes, who graces the halls of Boston University. Dorothy Perkins and Harriet Eld- ridge now appear to inform us that they are public servants-serving the public in Smith's News Store. Just a mlinufte, folks! Here is our old sports champ, Brad Martin, who is-yes, he is-going to say THE PILGRIM FACULTY First Row: Miss Locklin, Miss Rafter, Miss Brown, Mr. Shipman, Mr. Mongan, Mrs. Raymond. Miss Judd.

It's not likely that Brad will tell you that he is something of a student in English, so I'd better do it for him. Keep up the good work, Brad. By the looks of the crowd and the decorations, we are going to have a swell time tonight, and boy! am I going to be able to enjoy it because, let me tell you, spring football is not all play. Still I have enough energy left to have a good time. We are informed that Dorothy Rogers, a graduate of the Class of '36, is working at the local telephone ex- change, while she nurses the hope of at- tending Forsythe Dental School next year. Plymouth High School's debt to the Navy was paid when we sent it Scotchie Strong. He is here tonight but, since he is obviously avoiding the microphone, we won'-t press him further. A little late, as usual, are Jeanette Goodvwin and Katherine Lahey. We have heard that Jeanette is already scouting around to find parents who will send their progeny to her to have the-ir teeth cleaned after she graduates from Forsythe Dental School-Which reminds us that Theresa Govi is a roommate of Jeanette's. Katherine Lahey is conduct- ing a similar campaign, only she is s-earching for parents Who. will send their offspring to school to her when she graduates from Bridgewater State Teachers College-if and when. Here comes the great Motor-man, Gerald Mayo. Jerry attends General Electric and, s-ince he has been at school, he has learned how to induce his car to operate in a less fiafmboyant manner. Che-ck me if I'm wrong, Jerry. Apparently Frances Johnson doesn't mind those long train rides into Boston each day-or at least they don't sap so much of her energy th-at she can't enjoy a dance. Well, well, well, if it isn't our former P. H. S. orator and his friend. Welcome, weary travellers. It must have been a tedious process to thumb rides all the Way from Michigan State University to Plymouth. Mr. Caramello, Will you speak to the interested audience? Excuse m-e, there seems to be a little difficulty because Stephen Cappanari is pushing his way to the microphone. Well, all right, Stephen, if you feel that you can't trust the job to Tony. Hello, folks, it sure does feel good to be back here in the East. We left Michi- gan University at ten o'clock one morn- ing and we were able to get a ride with Mr, and Mrs. Smith from San Francisco. When we got out of their car, along came Miss Jones from Utah eager to give us a lift. When this delightful Cand it was delightful, wasn't it, Tony?J ride came to an end, we had rather a long wait because for an hour and a half no car at all passed us. Tony and I started to walk, but W-e hadn't gone very far when . . . I'm awfully sorry to have to interrupt you b-ecause, although you have doubt- less had a very interesting trip, we must get on with our interviews. I am sure that some of our classmates already in the hall have learned to be good listen- ers. Walter Deacon, who has recently been admitted to Tuft's Medical School, has a message for you: 'Tm trying to devel- op a good bedside manner. I do hope you'll like it! , Babe James has established himself as an all-round athlete at a Florida Agri- cultural School. Not that we expected less, Babe. And now the breezes of Lake Cham- plain have blown Dorothy Holmes home to us from Vermont University. We h-ear you've gone literary. How about it, Dot? We thought we had some weary travellers when Stephen and Tony ap- peared, but here is one who should be equally as travel-worn! It's Ruth But- tner from Oberlin College, Ohio. But sh-e looks as charming as ever and quite unconquered by the miles. The Thr-ee Musketeers from Bridge- water are just arriving, Shirley Dutton, the little big girl who leads them on, Jeanette Martin, who does the talking for the three, and Dorothy Perkins, who does the listening for all of them. Well, Jeanette. Perhaps you are well enough ac- quainted with us to believe that we have tried our best, and with more or less suc- cess, not to dis-credit Plymouth High. Since I am speaking for th-e three of us, I can tell you that Shirley makes the best of managers of the school store. Dot has just been chosen secretary of her class- and we who know her ex- pect her to fill the office with distinc- tion. Carlo Guidaboni and Robert Martin are .representing Tuft's with much vol- ubillty. I could almost believe that they get a commission on all those whom they Gan lead to its door, so loudly do they sing the praises of that school.

Voici des incidents qui se sont vrai- menft passes:- IL SAVAIT CE DONT IL PARLAIT Un groupe de garcons de la quatriemo annee de notre ecole discutaient ce qu'ils allaient porter pour la sortie et la soiree d-e la class-e. Quelqu'un a dit qu'il serait trop prod- igue d'acheter deux complets nouveaux pour les deux affaires. Voici la reponse d'un des garcons, de qui on entend d'autres histoires: -Il ne faut pas acheter deux complets nouveaux. Pour la sortie, nour pouvons porter le pantalon blanc et le veston noir, et pour la soiree le Dantalon noir et le veston blanc! Mais non! Il ne faut pas acheter deux complets nouveaux. MARY BODELL. JONAH ET LA BALEINE Un jour dans la classe de latin nous narlions des miracles. Le professeur a dit que beaucoup de vieux miracles pouvaient etre expliques maintenant. Par example-dit elle-il iv a dans la Bible l'histoire de Jonah et la baleine. Aujourd' hui, des homm-es pensent que peut-etre oette histoire est vraie. Ils ff-Q ua. disent qu'il est possible que Jonah ait vraiment avale la baleine. JEAN PEARSON A LE GROS COCHON Le petit Jean a couru chez lui tres vite aores qu'il a vu pour la premiere fois un grand cochon mort. Ce cochon etait susoendu du plafond dans une boucherie.

DAME RUMOR EAME Rumor is an evil vulture gorg- ing herself on the carrion of innuen- dos and exaggerations. This bird of ill- om-en may be pictured as having as many prying eyes as th-ere are feathers on her body and just as many clacking tongues, prating mouths, and straining ears. She hovers over great cities, peer- ing and prying into the lives of innocent people. One small grain of rumor is tak- en by this vile bird an.d. as she shrieks and souawks the news into the ears of men, the grain of truth, in passing from mouth to mouth, becomes larger and larger, like a snowball gathering weight as it rolls. Finally the ball of rumor swells to such proportions that it is as an avalanche of lies thundering down to obliterate the subjects of the cruel gossip. Dame Rumor is cunning in her meth- ods. She insinuat-es a drop of truth and an innuendo into the ears of man. Man accomplishes the rest with old Dame Rumor always at his elbow to prompt him. The horrid bird could not commit h-er heinous crime without the aid of man. PHYLLIS JOHNSON '37 O TEMPORA! O MORES!

IN THE HUDDLE ,EUE to the spring training and the coaching ability of Mr. Knowlton and Mr. Romano, the football team got off to a good start early in September. The team won five games and lost three. There were no ties, which is an unusual circumstance in football. The winning of the first game over Hingham seemed to give the boys en- couragement, and led them on to a more successful season. However, the second game was lost to Abington, a more powerful team. Not discouraged, the team retaliafted with four consecutive victories. Because of P'lymouth's lack of weight, Weymouth won the next game and, handicapped by the injury of Cap- tain Giammarco, the only injury of the season, the team lost its last game to Coyle. , At the end of this game the following members had played the last time for Plymouth High School: Captain Giam- marco, Carbone, Barbieri, Tassanari, Monrtimaggi, Govoni, Tong, andi Medei- ros. However, wlith Reggini, Wright, James, Leonardi, Fratus, and Captain Wayne Allen returning, the prospects for next year are bright. UNDER THE BASKET igLYMOUTH'S basketball season was disastrous as far as victories were concerned. The schedule resulted in five victories as against twelve defeats. How- ever, this does not determine the quality of the team, for many of the games were lost in the final quarter. Coach Ingraham was handicapped be- cause of the lack of experienced ma- terial, for only three members of last yeSr's squad answered the basketball ca . The team was shut out of the South Shore Tournament, held at the Brockton Y. M. C. A., in an overtime period against the Oliver Ames High School of North Easton. Because most of the players are re- turning, the prospects for next year are good. The players lost by graduation are: Captain G. Ferazzi, T. Giammarco, N. Carbone, D. Harlow, and R. Webber.

Our next game with Marsh- field, an excellent team and our greatest rival, could never be construed as a vic- tory for our side. When we were visited by the Hyannis hockey team, our feel- ings were soothed by a victory of 2-0, but, wh-en we encountered them on their home grounds, we were defeated by the score of 1-0. These were onlya few of the outstanding games played by the high school this season. Our team was, how- ever, succ-essful in Winning five games, tying two, and losing two. It will be necessary to build a new team next year as a large number of the squad will graduate. However, Mrs. Garvin feels that she has good material to work with, and we wish her the greatest success next season. Although we were not so fortunate as to go through a season undefeated, as we did last year, we were still able to appreciate the banquet given in honor of th-e hockey and football teams. The fine showing of the first team was made possible through the leadership of Capt. Alice Wood and the following players: Carol Handy, L. W., Mary Brigida, L. I., Marjorie Tracy, C. F., Jean Pearson, R. I. ,Tillie Bussolari, R. W., Capt. Alice Wood, L. H., Cynthia Drew, C. H., Betsy Drew, R. H., Phyllis Johnson, L. F. B., Mary Weild, R. F. B., Marion Lahey, Goal. While we have enjoyed a successful season, we realize only too well the credit belongs largely to Mrs. Garvin for her thorough coaching. SINK THAT SHOT G HE success of the team this year was due to a great extent to the facilities provided by our new gymnasium. Our first game was played at Rockland, and we are glad to report a 24-12 victory. We were very much pleased to win our next game, the first one played in the new gymnasium. When we visited Mid- dleboro, however, we were shamefully defeated by the score of 7-21, but are proud to say we avenged ourselves when the Middleboro girls came here, for we won by the score of 16-13. Our last game at Whitman was a victory for our opponents as we lost 22-23. The girls played seven games, lost two, and won ive. The players who con- tributed to this record were: C. Drew, Captain, P. Lovell, P. Johnson, as for- wards, M. Curtin, A. Wood, M. Brigida as guards. The second team also deserves much credit, for it lost only one of the six games played. These girls were: M. Tracy, Capt., B. Drew and B. Harlow as forwards, M. Weild, V. Weston, and T. Bussolari as guards. ,,Alth+ough Mrs. Garvin is losing all her first team through graduation, we feel that the Plymouth High School girls will continue to turn in good records under her excellent supervision. C. DREW U Continued from .page 43 arrivals. Florence has just been elected Secretary of International Relations at New Hampshiire University, which, as you may judge from the length of her title, is a very great honor. It is not diffi- cult for us in Plymouth High School to realize why we should be proud of Florence. And now, since the orchestra has started to play, I must fold my tents like the Arabs and as silently steal away. MARY CURTIN '37 TO WINTER O Winter! where thy icy blast, Thy snow-capped hills, Thy gleaming parapets of snow, Thy tracery and lace? Hast thou, perchance, become a myth? A Hash of fancy?

MUSIC - STILL A CAREER! A fact as well as a titlel- graphic proof of which can be read from the experience of one of this June's graduates of the New England Conservatory of Music. A young man of both fine character and splendid attainments, he had been advised by the Placement Bureau of the Conservatory to write to an extensive list of schools. It took more than a few polite negative replies to deter him from his quest. Finally there came the letter whose tone was favorable. An interview was arrangedg later in the week the superintendent visited the classes in which the candidate was engaged in practice teaching fhis field was public school musicj-with the result that the youthful candidate was ap- pointed to an excellent position in the schools of a sizeable New England city-and, one is happy to add, a substantial beginning salary. While it cannot be denied that a few chang- ing circumstances in the world of music have brought discouragements to workers in this field, opportunities for the really talented and well trained have undoubtedly widened. Most schools have enlarged and improved their music departments-providing additional positions for music teachers. The same has held true in private schoolsg formerly many private schools depended upon the part-time services of local teachers, but within the past few years. they have engaged musicians as important additions to their full-time faculties. Growth of music departments in American colleges has defin- itely made the field of college music teaching more attractive. Generally improved standards of music-in which it cannot be denied that the radio has nlaved an important part-have increased the demand for capable private instructors. Within the past few vears piano manufacturers have evnerienced phenomenal growth in sales. It is obvious that these instruments are being bought to be played upon-and those who learn to olav them must be taught. In all-around musical activitv. manv fresh opportunities have made themselves felt. The radio-to mention it again-has demanded the services of skillful. well-schooled performers. The larger stations retain trained orchestral nerformers as part of their regular staffs. Growth of municipal musical activity of one sort and another has afforded manv young musif-ians ample opportunities of winning a livelihood in a field in which they feel they belong. There is every reason to hope for steadily increasing opportunities for the musician. Pro- vided a student possesses the reouisite amount of talent and aptitude. and fa most important fefftori makes sure of obtaining his musical education in an institution whose standards are unouestiovued and unouestionable. his hope for future success should be eoual to those he wwio-ht form in the contemplation of other fields of' endeavor.

Because it presents bigger and better opportunities today than all other pro- : fessions combined. Because business is constantly in need of new blood to replace execu- ' tives who are either retiring or advancing to higher positions. Because the steady drive l ol' all arts and sciences toward business has made business not only a profession, i but the outstanding one as well. 2 You must be able to say to an employer, I am qualified and he must see real value ! for his money before he will employ you. Today the demand is for those who can do l specific things wellg therefore, you must have this qualification-and Specialized Train- i ing is the answer.
