OUR years ago the 1938 Limited pulled out of the station amidst the clanging of bells and cheers of proud parents. Four years! Skirt lengths, bobs, and funds of courage have risen and fallen, wars have begun and ended, friends have met and parted. And after four years of mental gymnastics, our teach- ers are still our friends. Let's see where we have gone in the now famous Limited. We started in a dubious lot of wooden cars hooked to- gether with baling wire and promises. Now we occupy a stream-lined Diesel- electric job making its 110 m.p.h. in a pinch. Some class! Well, here are our principal stops- President-James Costa Vice-President-Barbara Paty Secretary-Margaret Mordt Treasurer-John Tavernelli Our first stop was in the city of Freshman. We were on our first trip from the old home town and we en- joyed ourselves to the utmost. Of course, we still had that young, inex- perienced air, so some upperclassmen took rides at our expense. We vividly remember a conflict in which we unwittingly became engaged. Our youthful hearts were set on a fresh- man dance. Unfortunately each date we intended to reserve was rudely snatched from us by some older class. Now we have learned to clench our teeth and keep our dates-boys take notice! As ticket-sellers for the operetta, Pinafore, we surprised even our- selves. The townspeople were besieged by a crowd of enterprising pupils in- tent on selling all their tickets. Our incentive was the fact that Edward Wright, one of our fellow travellers, had a major part in the performance. II Our second stop was in the city of Sophomore. Having been initiated by this time into the mysteries of city life, we were not so bewildered. Moreover, our reputation having preceded us, we had much less trouble in coping with our superiors-in age. In this city our officers changed. Francis Scheid was elected president. Roland Holmes became vice-president, while John Tavernelli did double duty as secretary-treasurer. This year we made the first school circus a success with the help of some of the pupils from the upper classes. In- deed, it was such a success that it be- came an annual affair. One of the most important events was the Sophomore Hop-at which we hop- ped away a perfect evening. We un- derstand that it is considered the best dance ever sponsored by Sophomores. Dr. Davis became a new inhabitant of this most charming city, and soon 6 THE PILGRIM. after his arrival he offered a scholar- ship to the one who possessed the voice with the greatest possibilities. Our Ed- ward Wright carried off the prize of a year's musical training. And it was wright that he should. In this never-to-be-forgotten year we had the inestimable privilege of study- ing to an accompaniment of riveting from across the street as the new build- ing was nearing completion. III Once in the new building, we Juniors became models of brilliance and ef- ficiency, electing as our class officers Spencer Brewster, presidentg Francis Scheid, vice-president, Barbara Paty, secretary, and John Tavernelli, treasur- er. Francis Scheid, our silver-tongued orator, won the district American Legion Oratorical Contest. He also ac- quired another title, that of State Presi- dent of the Student Activities Society. Spencer Brewster was chosen to fill the position of President of the Southeast- ern Branch of Associated Bodies of Stu- dent Councils of Massachusetts-which title, we believe, is the longest one ever held by a student in Plymouth High School. IV Our destination was that beautiful city, Senior. It proved to be truly a wonderful place. A dignified air of ac- tivity pervaded the serious atmosphere, and we felt that Senior was indeed the place in which to live. For officers we elected: President-Francis Scheid Vice-President-Barbara Paty Secretary-Helen Belcher Treasurer-Arnold Torrance Our Senior Dance was a decided suc- cess, one of those things carefully stored in the corners of our memories to think about in future years. Barbara Paty was chosen the best girl citizen in the Senior Class. And now we have completed our journey through the land of High School. If you ever visit this strange country, you must be sure to look to- wards the golden city, Success, on the top of the hill. There on the tracks will be the 1938 Limited going steadily up the incline. Toot I Toot! CONSTANCE KELLEN ATTENTION! AVING successfully survived the perplexites of high school life and unexpectedly finding ourselves the proud possessors of prodigious posses- sions, we, the opulent and philanthropic Class of 1938, do hereby bequeath the following to the persons herein speci- fied: To MR. SHIPMAN: A television adap- tation for his cherished public address system. Ut is our opinion that gesti- culation would make announcements more impressivej T0 MRS. RAYMOND: A beautiful, white, hard-rubber bulletin board of the washable type for Room 301. We are desirous of eliminating any possibility of shock in case pupils in the future decide to use superfluous amounts of paste. To MISS MCNERNY: Congratulations! Now she has a real opportunity to dis- play her culinary prowess. To MR. BAGNALL: A sumptuous easy chair next to the window at the cele- brated Old Colony Club, to be reserved only for him. To MISS CAREY: A costly camera of reliable make with which she may take an abundance of excellent pictures the next time she journeys to France. To MR. SMILEY: An air-tight, glass anatomizing box fitted with a chimney to remove any obnoxious odors which may chance to issue from his defunct cats. To MISS RAFTER: A replica of that oft-discussed mace of Congress, to be used upon any recalcitrant history stu- dent on that part of his anatomy where it will do the most good. T0 MR. MONGAN: A special pair of study-hall slippers with thick heels of sponge rubber, so that meditating stu- dents fif there be anyl will not be brusquely disturbed whenever he is called without. To MISS JUDD: Stationary desks for 203. CWe know the possibilities of equipment not attached to the floorj To MR. PACKARD: Photo-electrically- controlled curtains for his physics room. We seek to save him the annoyance of keeping Old Sol from vexing the optics of cogitating students. T0 MISS LOCKLIN: A complete set of polyhedrons to save her the inconven- ience of juggling books, pencils, rulers, and all else that may lie in the immed- iate vicinity, to picture the various geometrical figures for her solid classes. THE PILGRIM 7 To MISS KELLY: A taxi with a burly chauieur to whisk her to the quiet of her home at the close of school. To MISS LANG: A fire-gong for her classroom so that pupils need not be continually reminded that the bell has rung. To MRS. SHARKEY: A large roll of adhesive tape for the discouragement of the garrulous. To MISS BOUCHER: Our sincere hope that she may forever survive those weird dishes concocted by the senior chefs. To MISS HUMPHREY! Our most sin- cere hope that she may succeed in her new endeavor. To MISS CooMBS: An endless belt back to the corridor to remove those who, if offered any encouragement, would linger for a pleasant chat with a pleasant secretary. To THE MISSES JOHNSON2 Mono- grammed brooches, on the condition that they be conspicuously worn whenever in school so that we may learn, at once and for all time, which is Helen C. and which is Helen M. It is becoming de- cidedly trite to refer to them as 'the big one and the little one. To DR. DAVIS: An automatic spray gun so that his gifted musicians may butter their music. To MISS DOWLINGI Our deep apprec- iation for her splendid cooperation whenever we were in need of super- vision in her Held. To MR. KNowLToN: A sign boldly inscribed with the words, Director of Physical Education, to be mounted above his office door. To MISS WILBER: Our permission to convert Room 306 into a luxurious sa- lon, with the restriction that it be used only by those privileged to attend her gala Latin parties. To MR. GARLAND: An invitation to demonstrate his vocal talent to the up- per school. To MISS JACQUES: Because her room is so conveniently located, a stop-watch to time the superhuman speeds of stu- dents racing to school at one minute to eight. To MRS. GARVIN: The suggestion that girls' basketball games precede the boys' on the regular Friday night sched- ule. fVery definitely this would in- crease the gate receipts.J To THE CLASS OF 1939: Benches along the upper corridor. We seek to save you the agonies we experienced whenever we managed surreptitiously to steal from utility period. tlnciden- tally, it may please the recipients to know that this suggestion was made by a member of the faculty.J To THE CLASS OF 19402 A bottle of that world-reknowned Stretcholene for the astonishingly large number of diminutive persons in it. Clncidentally, we are also including a tank of Shrink- olene for one Monsieur Brewer.J Signed sealed, published, and de- clared by the members of the above- named Class of 1938, as and for their last Will and Testament, hereby revok- ing all former Wills and Codicils which may have been devised by us. In witness whereof, we hereunto have afiixed our signatures: Jodge E. Podgy Jack B. Nimble AMEDEO GALAVANI WILFRED Col-IEN FORWARD, MARCH! LYMOUTHI The last town on my list to be canvassed! I was engaged in building up political support for my candidate, Mr. Francis Scheid, for the presidency of the A. L. U. tAmeri- can Labor Unionb. This organization, as you know, is the union of the A. F. of L. and the C. I. O.: the possibility of which was discussed widely when I was in high school. Feeling certain that Mr. Scheid would carry his home town by an overwhelming majority, I had left it for last-minute solicitations. Lest I be found tedious for dwelling upon the political aspects of my visit, I shall merely tell you of the various positions which I found my former classmates occupying in the community. Thinking it good strategy to appear at my best before starting my political maneuvers, I entered a tonsorial shop, that of John Tavernelli. I noticed in his employ Letty McKee and Beverly Kaiser, manicurists, and Henry Adams, shoeshine boy. Once more on the sidewalk I gazed intently at the numerous commercial signs, and was waiting for officer Butch Torrance to wave me across the bustling thoroughfare, when Earl Young, street cleaner, politely requested me to stand aside. Burlesque School, read the placard that most readily caught my eye. I 8 THE PILGRIM was greeted at the entrance by Head- master Ants-in-his-Pants Metcalf, while from the- adjacent room flitted Sub-master Alfred Pizzotti, flanked by teachers Leland Nickerson, George Mackerel Fratus, and Howard Smith. By the headmaster I was informed of the spectacular success achieved by Janet Broadbent, Margie Decker. Don- ald Randall, and Albert Pederzani in a number produced by Harrison Griffin. While en route to my next prospect, my eyes were diverted to multi-colored flyers sifting down from an airplane to advertise Belcher-Albertini C o u g h Medicine. I was later informed that the creator of this paper avalanche was Warren Peck, president of a flight club recently organized in the town. K. K. K. read the lettering on the window of the next business house. On inquiry I learned that these well-known letters had lost their former significance to the world, and now meant Kirkey's Kandid Kameras. Inside Mr. Kirkey was talking shop with the owners of the Kritz-Holmes Film Company. Following a chat with these old chums, I ambled down to the Regini- Gray Gymnasium, where Warren Pea- nut Raymond was training under the management of J. P. Govoni in prep- aration for his match with Gerry Rezendes for the lightweight champion- ship of the world. Our conversation was interrupted by feminine ejaculations from the far side of the portable gym doors. On inspec- tion I found that they belonged to Bar- bara Paty, Edna Gunther, Hilda Guid- etti, and Beverly Karle. These Little Women had recently been a featured attraction in a side-show as The Only Pygmy Women in Captivityf' Now, un- der the leadership of Marion Lahey, they were taking a course in body stretching. In a corner was Annie Stein accompanying them on a Tedeschi Spec- ial, an instrument endorsed by that world-famous jazz pianist. Lunch time was approaching when I departed from this establishment with several old cronies. We agreed on Zam- marchi's Cafeteria as the scene of our noonday repast. On the way as we passed J.G. Govoni's King-Pin Alleys, we were literally thrown off our feet by the onslaught of Domonick Fratus and Clarence Johnson, still pin boys tstill motionj on their way to Florence Canucci's Dog Cart. However, we ar- rived at our destination safely and were cordially invited by Proprietor Zam- marchi to view his culinary experts in action. They proved to be Wayne Allen, Dwight Harlow, Edwin Sears, and George Neal. We enjoyed excellent service from waitresses Ruth Jenkins and Arlene Giovanetti under the watchful eyes of Headwaitress Dorothy Ziegengeist. On our way out we bade adieu to Betty Watson, who was perched on a high stool in the cashier's cage. Despite our friendship there was no need to press payment upon her. Outside I parted from my friends, and with the hope that I would have a successful afternoon, I entered the Heath Building which belonged to our old friend George. My first visit in the building was to Leo Roberge, lawyer, who was preparing his latest case, that of Ruth Wood vs. Madeline Wrighting- ton. Each of these taxi drivers claimed to have had the right of way in a recent collision. Another case under prepara- tion was that of Marguerite O'Keefe, stage star, vs. Janet Perrault, news commenator, charging slander. In the hall I passed the owners of the Cotti and Malaguti Construction Com- pany, discussing methods of interesting the townspeople in a new high school. When I entered Dr. Edward Wright's office, nurse Elizabeth Anderson in- formed me that he was, at the moment, taking a trumpet lesson from the emi- nent musician, Chester Parsons. Upon my departure from the building I observed the Cobb and Robbins Sight- Seeing Bus just being piloted from the curb by Spencer Brewster. I was awaiting an interview with Heart-Balmer Ann Bittinger when I espied the early edition of the daily PIL- GRIM. One of the editorials that caught my eye was from the pen of Editor Philip Godfrey concerning the personal safety of American citizens in foreign lands. This had doubtlessly been insti- gated by the danger of our ambassador to China, Henry Bastoni, and the fash- ion reporters in Paris, Isabel Cravinho and Helen Darsch. I also noticed the displays of Handy's Candies, Riley's Pastry Pantry Incorporated, and the Lob Lolly Luncheon, under the manage- ment of Violet Boudreau and Marjorie Cassidy. On my way out I met Tony Valenzi- ano entering for his appointment with Miss Bittinger, closely followed by his bodyguard, Robert Birnstein. My! How the girls abuse those movie heroes! THE PILGRIM 9 Margaret Cook, Mary Cingolani, and Dorothy DeCost were parading for higher Wages for models in front of Lil- lian Sherman's Paris Fashion Shoppe. Just then there emerged from this im- portant style center, Marion Treglown and Betty Studley, style 'editors for ri- val papers. Most unfortunately I collided at this point with Harold Padovani, sandwich man advertising Cohen's Bargain Basement. A circus poster met my View depict- ing Lizzie Digenova, acrobatg John Darsch, strong man, and Raymond Bocacci, fire-eater. All were in the em- ploy of the Great Demas-Branco Ten Ring Circus. The clanging of fire gongs lured me up a side street. When I arrived at the scene, Reporter Martin Brewster was photographing the rescued cat of house- wife, Mary Dugas, in the arms of the hero, Howard Courtney. Disappointed, I retraced my footsteps to the doorway of Margaret Boutin's palmistry shop. Inside she was reading the hand of Constance Kellen, leader of the Women's Foresight League. Jeanette Hatton, society editor of the Plymouth Tellall, was lying in wait for Miss Kellen. On emerging from this establsihment I recognized Elva Mulcahey, foremost lecturer of the day on horticulture, urg- ing mechanic Amedeo Galvani to hurry his work on the carburetor of her streamlined car, manufactured by the Pearson-Lafayette Automobile Com- pany. At the same time, Alphonse An- drada, driver of Pedrini's Italian bread truck, was ordering Robert Paoletti to move his peanut cart from the only empty parking space on the block. Through the window of Miriam Young's beauty parlor I espied hair- dressers Leah Lodi and Evon Lee very busily engaged-in reading. Seeking a public place in which to leave election flyers and cards, I en- tered the new public library, donated to the town by the millionaire chess champion of the world, Armando Bar- boza. Here I recognized the girls at the lending desk as Marietta Sears and Charlotte Schneider, now slavishly in love-with books. When I returned to business, I pur- chased an evening edition of the PIL- GRIM at Peter Brigida's news store. On the front page I read the story of the defeat of Bartholomew Brigida at the hands of Donald Govoni in the annual clam-digging contest. Allen Bumpus, a dark horse, was a close third. As I rounded the next corner, I met Marion Parker, Rita Sampson's partner in the dog-breeding business, who was airing one of their pedigreed pups in front of Dorothy Resnick's boarding house. I entered a corner drugstore owned by Marjorie Drew. In the absence of the regular clerk, Eleanor Hall was do- ing her best at the soda fountain. Jessie Hollis was demonstrating the usefulness of Jean Murray's latest in- vention, the mirror clock. With this, I was told, I could compute the hour by the size of the refiection of my eyes in the mirror. In a far corner a radio was tuned in to the western music of Eileen Payson and her guitar. As some non-musical person turned the dial, I recognized the voice of Elsie Peccini offering diet hints, and that of Barbara Peterson playing the role of Ma Snerkins. She was supported by Brooks Harlow in the role of Shnuffle. The strains of Sweet Rosy O'Grady drew me from my lofty perch to the door. Immediately a terrifying creature attacked me with a tin cup. When I had made a contribution, his master, Joe Costa, delivered me from the monkey. My last visit was to a store on the window of which was printed Furtado and Burgess Weiner Company. Hot Dogs-20c a Yard. The owners of this establishment in- vited me to their tenth annual banquet, a gathering at which I would find the greater part of my old classmates. I readily accepted and was there early enough to complete some unfinished chats. After the main course, hot dogs, I knew no more until I awoke a week later in a hospital room. Even though I had nearly lost my life in the en- deavor, I was glad to have met again so many of my friends of high school days.

For the past few years the Daughters of the American Revolution have extended to Plymouth High School the privilege of participating in a yearly contest to de- termine which girl of the senior class is the most outstanding in four respects: dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. From the three girls chosen by the class itself, the faculty selected Barbara as its delegate to the conven- tion. To be designated as a best citizen is, of course, a great honor, and we know that in our selection We have a girl who truly fulfills all the require- ments. Barbara is dependable. She served our class faithfully and Well in her freshman year when she was vice- president, and in her junior year when she acted as secretary. She is now vice- president of the senior class. Personality, self-control, and ability to assume responsibility are necessary to leadership. Barbara, although she is quiet, is one of the most outstanding personalities in the senior class. She is always friendly and cheerful, always ready to listen to the troubles of her classmates, always prepared to help her friends. She has proved her ability to assume responsibility by serving on committees for two important events, the Sophomore Hop and the Junior Prom. Patriotism is the last requirement. Her unselfish interest in her family, school, community, and nation has won friends for her wherever she goes. Our choice may be attributed, also, to her indomitable desire to do her best at all times and under all conditions, her ir- repressible spirit, her true friendly feeling for all her associates. She is, indeed, our foremost girl citizen. B.

DAY BY DAY DI'IAR DIARY: Suddenly occurred to me: There'll soon be a last time for that old school feeling. Makes me realize all the things I'm going to miss. Thoughts while strolling down the corridor: If appearances aren't more deceiving than usual, there are shortly going to be several amateur comedians without an audience. How the times and styles do change! Those yari-colored squares the girls have been wearing about their heads give a very youthful expression to the face. Perhaps they are the result of all the knitting that was done at the bas- ketball games the past winter. Questions that bother: Wonder Why there is only one pane of clear glass in the classroom doors? Perhaps the bet- t.er to see you with, my dear. Do teachers really have eyes in the back of their head? Or have we been deluded all these years? Wonder who was the ingenious stu- dent who thought of the paper in the locker handles? It saves so much of the valuable energy needed for more im- portant matters. After this we hope our esteemed elders will have nothing more to say about the apparent. lack of feeling for the English language exhibited by the younger generation. One young hope- ful, relating a bicycling accident to a friend, said, I descended the declivity with such velocity that, losing my equi- librium, my cranium came in contact with the macadamized road. Some- body must use the dictionary diligently, or is it just a repercussion from the assiduous f?J st.udy of vocabulary in the senior English classes? The popularity of the lyric of Amer- ican life seems to be progressing right in our own high school. An example of one is that manufactured by room 301 for a recent contest. Clip Clop! Hippity Hop!

DAILY DOZEN ASEY sat on the curb whistling non- chalantly, put on one shoe, removed the other, and then wandered aimlessly down the avenue carrying it in his hand. Without surprise he threw hurried glances at the throng congregating be- hind him. He laughed to himself as he heard their queries. They, like all crowds, were curious, agitated over this seemingly foolish act. At the next three intersections he changed shoes and turned right. At his starting-place he peered uptown to- wards the Majestic Theatre. Again he glanced over his shoulder at the people following closely. Not bad for a noon hour, he mused to himself, and then headed for the theatre, the throng fol- lowing. At the box-oiiice Casey winked at the girl, purchased a ticket, and enter- ed the main lobby. Casey did not wait to view the fea- t.ure attraction that was starting, but made an exit through a side door.

Renato Pedrini THE PILGRIM 25 PRINCIPAIIS COLUMN A BENEVOLENTLY disposed gentle- - man once asked a young man of his acquaintance this question: My dear fellow, to what end are you directing your life? The reply was To both ends, sir. I work in the only first-class hat and shoe store in town. This was a very clever reply, I should say, worthy of Charlie McCarthy. Apparently he was succeeding in going in two direc- tions at the same time as well as John Brewer did when he went over the North Pole on all fours, or rather de- monstrat.ed how it could be done. But this sort of thing obviously has its limitations. When your parents were graduated from high school, it was relatively easy to procure a job. The college graduate was almost sure of one. Very many, probably the majority, accepted the Hrst reasonably attractive position that was offered. Many a star athlete be- came a bond salesman or an insurance agent, relying on his name and fame to bring him success rather than upon any particular desire for the type of work or preparation for it. But when the Social Security Act went into effect a year and a half ago and every em- ployed person was required to have a code number, statistics from New Eng- land showed that only a little over 5'i! of! those who were working belonged to the strictly youth group, that is, those who were between 18 and 24 years of age. Further surveys have revealed that the majority of unemployed per- sons are likewise unemployable because they are unqualified for anything defi- nite or because they lack adaptability. Cameron Beck, director of t.he per- sonnel department of the New York Stock Exchange. gives an account of an interview he had with an applicant for a position. He was one of those self- confident fellows who could do any- thing. Fine, said Mr. Beck, we need an assistant bookkeeper in the account- ing department. Oh, I never studied bookkeeping , said the applicant. Sorry, continued Mr. Beck, but it so happens that the engineer would like to have someone help him with the electrical work here in the building. Gee, I couldn't do that. I don't know aiiything about electricity, was the re- D Y- .Thus the conversation proceeded un- til finally Mr. Beck declared in a tone of undisguised annoyance. Young man, you go out and prepare yourself for something definite before you waste your ow11 or any one else's time. The day of the jack-of-all-trades is over. You must be a king of one trade. When you are ready, you may come back and see me again. Until that time, good day. A friend of mine stated the same truth in another way. When I was a freshman in college, he said, If you are going to get very far, you must learn to do something better than some- body else can do it. And that's the truth. Former President Arthur E. Morgan of Antioch College states that in order to realize the greatest satisfaction in daily living one must have a well- rounded background of knowledge: must experience growth through practi- cal work experienceg must learn self- direction in study and conduct: and must have a devotion to a life purpose. Yes, that is it-a life purpose, worthy of sincere, high-minded devotion, one worth sacrificing for. Its fruition may require a long, patient, sustained effort but the rewards will be well worth t.he cost. So in this day of uncertainty and doubt, let me say for your encourage- ment that t.here are opportunities ahead for those who have the patience and perseverance to prepare for them. Take every advantage offered by libra- ries, radio, developing hobbies, and, above everything else, if possible, by continuing your education in some sort of institution of learning. And remem- ber that it is far better to aim at some- thing and miss it than to aim at noth- ing and hit it. WAYNE M. SHIPMAN, Prz'nc1'paI CLARION CALL Onward! seniors, mighty army!

With this cheerful message still ringing in my ears, I left for home to eat some supper. At seven o'clock I returned to work and found a weary group of laborers. Some boys had been working all day, and the prospect of struggling all night was just too big a thought to cope with. The town re- port Was due, however, and no matter how my boys were feeling, they had to work, and work hard, in order to get it out. But at the most, I estimated that we would be able to leave at about one o'clock next morning. At four-thirty we glued on the last cover, and then, saying little, we parted company. At five o'clock I stumbled into my front room and turned on the light. This was a radical mistake. There be- fore me, distributed about the room, was every book which had recently been in the standing six-shelved book- case. Reggie, our new pup, had evidently hit it just hard enough to knock it over, and this had frightened him so that, before he left the scene, other embar- rassing things had happened. I was tired, but I knew what Marge would say, so I picked up every book and cleaned the other mess. Just as I was about to go to bed, I remembered that I had not yet tended to the fire, so down to the cellar I went and did my duty. By that time I was so wide awake that I decided to read the paper before I retired. At six, I managed to doze off for perhaps half an hour, but about this time the dog began to whine under my bed, so I got up and locked him in the bathroom. At seven o'clock just as I was about to close my eyes, Sarah, my little girl of three, got up and decided to use some hot water. A few minutes elapsed and then I heard the swish of water and the pipe in the corner of my room started to go shhh-punk, shhh-punk. After a short time this ceased and once again everything was quiet, with the exception of the dog, which, having heard Sarah, began to whine again. At 7:45 a. rn. Sarah decided to come downstairs, so Marge waited until she got way down and then she yelled for Sarah not to talk because daddy was tired and wanted to sleep. Sarah mind- ed perfectly. She didn't make any noise at all with her mouth-no-she just played the piano. But when a neighbor came in and yelled at the top of her lungs for Marge, and the dog stopped whining-and began to bark, and the pipes went shhh-punk, and the piano played, it was then that I decided that it must be time to get up and go to Work- PHILIP GODFREY '38 THAT FRIVOLOUS FRUIT EVERY century, from the first to the twentieth, has had its own form of dance. The earlier ones were, more or less, for a religious purpose-slow and mysterious or fast and frenzied. The stately minuet was the favorite of the gracious lords and ladies of the Colonial era. The Virginia reel, the clog, the cake walk, the Paul Jones, and the two- step were the popular American dances of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. They held sway for a while and then gave way to later innovations, such as the fox trot, the Charleston, and the Black Bottom. The twentieth century welcomes the Broadway, truck- in, peckin, and the Big Apple as the cur- rent sensations. The Big Apple, accord- ing to its creators, is a combination of past and present dance rages. To a rather conservative onlooker, it appears to be, rather, a. combination of ludi- crousness and a mad desire to exercise. The dance was originally intended to be a thing of grace and beauty. The modern dance creators have an extra- ordinary sense of the beautiful. Their dances are a series of violent leaps and whirls, jarrings and joltings, wiggles and shakes, and what not. However, perhaps these dances do serve a pur- pose in their short lives. They do give the dancers some strenuous workouts and many of the lazy muscles are brought into play. Peckin is excellent for the stiff necks and the Black Bot- tom will do wonders in limbering up 28 THE PILGRIM creaky knee joints. But despite all this, anyone who has seen the Big Apple done as its creators intended that it should be done, will realize that it is not only inappropriate for the public dance halls, but it verges on the ridiculous. A group of students from a New England high school went on a strike recently and wanted, among other things, permission to do the Big Apple at their school dances. The principal realized the results wouldn't be too sat- isfactory and convinced the students that they should keeps to their more conservative dance steps. The principal should be commended for his decision and the tact with which he managed the situation. Others in positions of authority over dance halls or school dances should cooperate with this New Enland principal in putting the big apple in a basket neatly la- beled, For exhibition only. L. LoD1 '38 ONE KNIGHT OF LOVE HARRY BELL finished his meal, paid the check, and walked out of the White Tower into the drizzling rain. He climbed into his cab and swung out into the rapidly-moving column of traf- Hc. Glancing at his watch, he noticed that it was nearing eight, the time for his rush hour when all society girls are leaving for their parties. Accordingly he turned toward Park Street where were located the fashionable apartment houses. As he came out into the brilliantly lighted boulevard, his eye caught sight of a pompous doorman in the doorway of the nearest apartment, and standing' beside him, the most beautiful girl Harry had ever seen. He very sel- dom paid attention to girls but this one-well! Harry drew up to the curb and got out to assist the dream in the royal blue gown and white fur wrap into the cab. The light sparkled on a beautiful coronet perched atop her light brown curls. He helped her into the machine and once more resumed his seat in front. Where to, lady? he asked trying to appear nonchalant. The Hotel Carlson, if you please, and Harry's heart did somersaults at the sound of the low, vibrant voice which issued from the rear seat. He auto- matically made the turns, too full of wonder to realize what he was doing. As he drew up to the curb, she leaned over, handed him his fare, and hurriedly jumped out.. Before he left, Harry heard the doorman call her by name. As he drove away, he wondered aloud, Why the heck do all the beauties have to be society dames and why isn't one as nice as that one with a fella. She can't be a newcomer for the doorman greet.ed her like an old friend. What'sa matter with these society guys any- how? If I was one of 'em for just one night, she wouldn't take a taxi. Meanwhile Caroline Cfor that was her namel was wondering if she'd ever see her handsome driver again. She'd like to have him to ride to the hotel every night with. You see she always came here at exactly eight o'clock, rain or shine, and she never had, had an escort. Of course Harry wouldn't know this, being only a taxi driver, but the :funny thing about. these society guys was that they did not, as a rule, escort the hat-check girl to formal parties at the Carlson.

It was time to get up even though it was only five o'clock. After all, her father had to be fed and Irma had to keep up the pretense of going to work. I'll have to tell ma soon, she mused. When I don't bring any dough home on pay-day, she's gonna start wonder- ing. But how can I tell her? She'll kick me out, I know she will. Ah, well, I might as well put it off as long as possi- ble. I'll tell her tomorrow. The sound of splashing came from the bathroom. Pa's getting up. He'll be hollering at me in a minute. She yawned once more, then reached for her faded wrap- per and, stretching, she took her clothes and went to get dressed in the kitchen where it was warm. Not long afterward Mr. Madarasz came lumbering in. Your ma don't feel so good this morning, so tell Anna to stay home with the kids.', All right, Pa, sit down and eat. It's most time for you to go. I heard a guy yesterday say that the factory was go- ing to lay off. You aren't getting it, are you ? Probably, you just worry about your job, Irma. That'll keep you busy. Is Mike up yet? No? Well, no wonder. He didn't get in till three. Said he was out with the gang. Pa, I don't like it. He,s always with that bunch and they're no good. Noth- ing but a gang of loafers and small-fry criminals. Why don't you do something? Make him stay away from them. Mr. Madarasz shook his head de- spondently, It's no use. I can't do nothing with him. He's wild. And now your ma's sick again I've got no time for his foolishness. There's the five- t.hirty whistle. Hand me my lunch- pail. Irma listlessly closed the door behind him and went to rouse Mike. She felt ages older than her twenty-one years, ages older than her kid brother, Mike, ages and ages old. It was horrible struggling for an existence, surrounded by people, hundreds of them, in the same groove as she in this Polish set- tlement. Her old man was working, yeah, but how much did he get? Not enough to keep six kids decently fed and clothed, and not half enough to give Mike a chance to get away from the tough gang he was traveling with, nor to get Anna the pretty things she craved, nor to buy Johnny the bike he wanted so badly and couldn't get be- cause every time he'd saved up some money from his paper route Mike bor- rowed it to pay pool debts. Helen and Maxine, the twins, were still too little to care about the small, dirty house, the greasy walls, the leaky roof, the broken steps,-but. they'd learn to care. It was up to her. Irma, to do something, anything, to get out of it all. I donit care about t.he others, she thought. They'll have to look out for themselves. But I've got to have nice things, lovely clothes. I want to be somebody. She stood looking down at her brother, thick-featured and sullen- looking even in sleep. She shook him roughly, staring with repugnance. How awful he looks, she pondered, after one of those all-night parties! Mike groaned and sat up rubbing his head. Wotta night, Wotta night. Yeah, I can imagine. How much did you lose? Nothing, so you can quit harping on t.hat right away. I saw Big Dan last night. He's promised me a job. Says he needs a guy with guts. I'm in the dough. Oh, Mike, you're not going to work for him. He's crooked, everyone knows that. Well, what about it? He's got a sys- tem that's oke. If that guy's behind you, you're all set. Set for where? Sing-Sing? Don't be funny. He has friends everywhere. You can't get caught. It's simple. All I have to do is go around and 'interview' the girls in the factory. I tell 'em they pay me 10211 of their pay or else, if they don't kick in, they get fired. The foreman's a friend of Big Dan's. He gets his cut, I get mine, the rest goes to Big Dan, and we're all happy. Irma went out of the room. She took her shabby coat from the overcrowded closet. Well, after all, was it Mike's fault? How was he to know that Big Dan had interviewed her only three days ago? She pulled on a hat. The boss was a friend of Dan's all right. After Dan had told him that she hadn't paid her 107 for two weeks, he let her go, didn't he? Well, that proved it. Mike didn't know. W'hat was the use? She softly shut the door and slowly walked away toward the river, just a slim out- line in the cold, gray light of dawn. B. STUDLEY '38 V PILGRIM STAFF First Row.' J. Hatton, B. Barnes, A. Riley. J.

Galvani, R Pedrini s ur 32 THE PILGRIM ANOTHER SPRING ENGULFED in dreamy memories, Martha Hanley sat knitting in her old leather-backed rocker. The cheery sunlight was shining in through the bedroom window in a scintillating stream. A beautiful butterfly was just emerging from her winter cocoon, as the first timid shoots of the vernal season were pushing up t.hrough the warming earth. Twittering birds flit- ted gayly through the budding tree tops uttering joyous songs which gladdened many a winter-weary ear. In the streets and lanes below, the excited cries of children could be heard as they played at marbles or jump-rope or, perhaps, a little preliminary baseball. Yes, it was another spring! The old woman sitting so wrapt in her thoughts was not dreaming of this year's awakening, however, but of one long ago. She had been young then, and lovely, a charming belle in the quiet lit- tle town of Milson. All the gay young swains in the vicinity had buzzed round her like a swarm of bumble bees. Ah, indeed life had been happy then! She sighed deeply and the ghost of a smile flitted across her wan countenance as she recalled the distant past. In time, of course, Martha had made her choice. A good catch , too, the gossipers of the village were wont to whisper among themselves. Nathan Clarke was a man of considerable social position and prestige. His money was not to be sneezed at either in the ver- nacular of the townsfolk. Yes. indeed. Marthy knew what she was about all right! In spite of these suspicions. however, Nathan and Martha were reallv deeply in love. Theirs was an exceptional en- gagement, as they seemed to be in per- fect harmony while in each other's presence, in complete happiness. In their great love. they seemed a perfect match. Too perfect, perhaps, for mor- tal beings! The wedding had been set for the first day in May. Martha started for a second. awaken- ed from her revery. Yes! Just as she thought! Today was May 1! Another May! What great preparations for the com- ing event had been essayed! What an exquisite bridal trousseau had been se- lected from the most. fashionable stores of which the nation could boast! How many dozens of delightful wedding gifts had been presented to the happy couple! The preparations were over , all was ready! In the spacious Hanley mansion, everything was arranged. The bride, more lovely than ever before, stood in ecstasy, awaiting the propitious mo- ment when the great hall organ would peal out its solemn announcement of bliss. The pretty bridesmaids giggled nervously in the corridor. The guests stood and sat in the enormous front parlor, in terrific suspense. All was quiet. Martha, in her ivory satin and foaming, billowing, lace was never more in love than at that moment. Nathan, with his best man, started down the winding stairs as the organ began. Then suddenly pandemonium reigned. Horrifying screams for help were heard issuing from the back of the stables which st.ood directly behind the house. The organ stopped on a discordant note, the guests rushed to the windows, Na- than hurried down the stairs. A terrifying sight met the spectators' gaze. Little Adelaide Hanley, sister of the bride, still dressed in her beautiful flower girl robe, was running wildly through the stable yard. Behind her tore a mad bull. This bull was often pastured in a field next to the Hanley mansion, but Adelaide, not noticing him to-day, had opened the heavy iron gate and entered the meadow. She had been intrigued by the beautiful flowers which grew there and desired to get them for her sister's wedding. This was the re- sult! As everyone stood open-mouthed, too frightened to breathe, Nathan sped out the door, and with cne blow of his hand, knocked the tinv girl from the path of the oncoming animal. He had saved her life, but in doing so he sacrificed his own. Horribly gored, he lay in Martha's arms as he breathed his last. Her wed- ding gown was disheveled and stained with his life blood which was so quickly ebbing. In his own horrible agony, how- ever, his one thought, had been for Martha, alone. Writhing in pain, he looked into her tear-dimmed eyes and whispered, Don't grieve, my dear. I love you always, now and forever. We shall meet again. An- other spring! Until then, goodbye, my darling. Martha sat dreaming in the old leather-back rocker. It was another spring! .... J. HATTON '38 THE PILGRIM 33 THE CHAIR IMMOBILE moments. The gray walls of the room grew grayer as if with apprehension. Silence-then the rau- cous voice of the news-peddling street gamin-harsh, strident-passed the tightly-closed window. Extra! Extra! Bonny Boy Benson goes to the chair this afternoon. Handsome sla.yer- - He passed. No one moved. A woman asked the time. A stern-faced man in one corner glanced at a massive watch. Ten more minutes! A sobbing moan came from the next. room. This was followed by a hurried, low muttering as if a man were pleading eloquently in prayer. The moan ceased. Two minutes passed, then it began anew. The people in the next room shifted uneasily. Again a paper boy passed calling his tale of death. The mind of each individual held but. one thought- the chair! Five more minutes passed. A fly droned. Two more minutes dragged away. The moan ceased and a sound of stirring came through the closed door. The door opened-the people jumped, and then self-consciously pretended that they hadn't.. No one spoke-a short pause-and then- Next? asked the dentist's pretty young nurse. V. VINTON '39 WANDERINGS IN A DEPARTMENT STORE Perhaps I had a thought of warming, Early on one frosty morning When autos in the streets were horning And windows showed their goods, adorning. As I entered a store fits doors are yawningb. Perhaps I had a thought of warming. I saw all this by means of looking. Pots and pans for Mother's cooking, Rags for rugs of Grandma's hooking, Pillows and cushions for corner nooking. Disguises and masks, perhaps for spooking. I saw all this by means of looking. I glanced at these while there abiding, The sleds for coasting and for sliding, The bicycles for speedy riding, Skates for ice and roller gliding, Maps and gloves for travel guiding. I glanced at these while there abiding. And all around were people buying Odds and ends that they were eyeing Which were on the counters lying. Here and there were children, sighing, Occasionally a baby, crying, And all around were people, buying.

Monsn '39 PLAID TROUSERS IT was another girl. Chuck's mother knew all the symp- toms. For two days he had wandered about the house in an impenetrable daze -calling the same telephone number, and pausing occasionally to catch his reflection in a mirror. Even now, with dinner half over, he was still in his room dressing for his date. Upstairs, behind the cover of his door, Chuck stood before a mirror, kneedeep- in ties. There were stripes, plaids, and gaudy red ones with polka dots. Patiently, he tried them all on, making grimaces as he watched the re- sults. Then, finally, he found it. It was a fiendish shade of green, but to Chuck it seemed to possess the right amount of dash and sophistication. He knotted it, as though performing some sacred ritual, never once taking his admiring eyes from his reflection. Gosh, but he was lucky to be taking Adrienne out-all the fellows were after her-and she had chosen him. But then, how could she have helped it? With a deep sigh of self-satisfaction, Chuck turned sidewise and, squinting from the corner of his eye, studied his profile. It was magnificent! Yet, some- how, he wished his nose didn't turn up so-it didn't quite suit a man-about- town. But, suddenly, Chuck remem- bered the time-it was getting late, and he had yet to persuade Dad to see a few things his way. He made his entrance into the dining room after the manner of royalty-let- ting his eyes drop in cool recognition of the family. His father gave him a long look and swallowed hard. Where had the boy found those hideous plaid trou- sers-and that tie! It's about time you got here, Chuck. I'm sorry, Dad, he murmurred in a'detached voice, and continued to eat his food with a cool air of indifference. Then, suddenly, he wet his lips, and his father knew that it was coming. Dad, he ventured. Yes Dad. you see. I-well, may I use the car tonight ? Then followed the usual debate and Chuck's event.ual victory. Finally, with a five-dollar bill in his pocket, Chuck sped through the dark street behind the wheel of the red roadster. Adrienne made him wait, but she was worth it. What a girl! She sat close to him in the seat, making him feel proud and sophisticated. Sneezv Callahan would give his right arm to be 34 THE PILGRIM in his shoes tonight. He had pursued Adrienne for two weeks without results -but Chuck, he had technique! Adri- enne kisisted on going to the Silver Moon. Chuck thanked his lucky stars for the five-dollar bill in his pocket! In the club they sat at a corner table, and Chuck looked around with an air of a conqueror. There were soft lights and a swing band-he' looked at Adrienne- this was living! Chuck lifted an eye- brow, Che thought he looked intriguing when he did thatl and murmured to her in a nonchalant tone. Wouldn't you like something? That was just the beginning! Adri- enne was dainty and petite, but she cer- tainly had an appetite! Chuck watched her order disappear in wideyed amaze- ment-and then she ordered more-lit- tle sandwiches, iced cakes, and drinks and more iced cakes! Gradually Chuck began to feel vaguely ill! If Adrienne ordered anything more, he wouldn't be able to pay the bill. With a sickly smile, he asked her if she wouldn't like to go for a ride. Oh, no, Chuck! I love it here. It's so nice and cozy. Oh, look, there's Sneezy! Chuck looked up and saw Sneezy's huge bulk approaching their table. Hi, Chuck! Hello, Adrienne! Chuck never knew how it happened, but somehow more food and drinks came for Adrienne and Sneezy. When that had disappeared, they danced. Alone at the table, Chuck added' for the twent.ieth time the bill the waiter had brought. There was no mistake. It amounted to 38.65. Maybe Sneezy would lend him some money. He knew it would hurt his prestige to ask for assistance, but it had to be done. With troubled eyes, he tried to find them on the floor. The first few times he thought maybe he had missed them, but t.he third time, there was no doubt-they had gone! So that was all his car and profile meant to Adrienne! Suddenly, he forgot his hurt vanity as he sensed someone stand- ing beside him. Glancing down, he saw two shiny black shoes, spats, and trousers- Are you leaving, sir? Er-Well-you see, my-- S8.65, sir. Chuck stuttered and stammered - but he finally got the words out. I haven't it-I've just five dollars. What followed was a nightmare! An- other waiter came, then another, and finally the manager. Well, sonny, how about paying your bill? What did the man mean by calling him sonny ! But whatever he meant, in five minutes Chuck was washing huge stacks of dishes in the kitchen. He was through with girls-they had ruined his life! Suddenly he heard a soft voice. Do you mind if I help you. Chuck looked around. Gosh, she looked cute in that little white uniform. It didn't take very long to finlish the dishes after that. When Chuck reached home, he climb- ed the stairs in an impenetrable daze. This time it was the real thing. This time the name was Carole. It was another girl.

Sept. 8 To-day my vacation ended and my doors are opened to the throng of hopeful Sophomores, radiant Juniors, and confident Seniors. The year of 1937-38 has begun! Oct. 28 Farmers, cowboys, clowns, movie- actors, Spaniards, Russians, Hitlers, Mussolinis, and historical charact.ers invaded the gymnasium for the I. C. C. Costume Dance. Who says there's nothing new under my roof? Nov. 3 Mr. Edward Matthews, director of a school in Antrim, New Hampshire, showed my inmates how to walk cor- rectly and gracefully. He had with him some hand-made shoes. Nov. 9 Something very worthwhile happened to me to-day. The Plymouth Civic Association presented me with a con- stitutional shrine which will grace the study for years to come. Nov. 10 As a reminder of the Armistice, Re- turn was presented by the Inter- national Correspondence Club and the Honor Society under the direction of Miss Carey. Laurels to the entire cast! Nov. 20 To the melodies of Correa, the feet of the sports' enthusiasts danced happi- ly. The season may not have been an ent.irely victorious one, but the dance was a success. Dec. 3 Another occasion for those who love the social life! What vitality these students have-at night! Gay deco- Scenes from Shakespeare's immortal work, Macbeth, were enacted by some of the ambitious Juniors. The scenery and lighting were especially impressive. Dec. 23 My Christmas vacation-much too short-was preceded by a production of The Cathedral Clock. It was well done, under the guiding hand of Miss Locklin. Jan. 17 Oui, mais oui! La Maternelle proved my knowledge of French was tres petit. In contrast to the weather, the movie was fine. It concerned the home and school life of a small French girl. Feb. 3 Cigam skrow! I feel mysterious to- day, inspired by Mr. Evans, the ma- gician. He astonished many of the students with his vanishing acts, card tricks, and novelty feats. Itfs all in knowing how, 'tis said. Feb. 9 Using geometrical pointers for ex- amples, Jesse B. Davis, Dean of Bos- ton University School of Education, explained how to attain success. A-1-R-PE-I-A:Success Ambition -l- Reliability + Efficiency -4- Abilty 1 Success Feb. 18 Our PILGRIM is going to be bigger and better this year! To make this possible, the staff sponsored a dance to raise funds for the unique and exciting features which the PILGRIM will contain. March 8 To-night, in my auditorium, music lovers enjoyed an excellent and va- ried program by the combined Men's and Boys' Glee Clubs. April 1 It's here-Carnival Capers of 1938!! Never before has such a throng swarmed my cafet-sorry, I mean, midway. My sides fairly ache from laughing at the dance of t.he fairies and the acrobats. Moreover, I was properly mystified by the play and edified by the vocal and instrumental music. April 2 And they're still coming to see Carni- val Capers! I feel very important Continued on Page 53 38 THE ALUMNI, PLEASE TAKE NOTICE Present and Future we all shall see, But to the Past we hold the key: 'Tzras open house at Plymouth High To greet our guests both bold and shy, 1t's over now, and line by line We read the guest book each had to sign. Mary Bodell from Radcliffe College should be congratulated on her prize Christmas Story and the subsequent appearance of her picture in the Boston papers. She is, we think, the first alum- ni to earn that distinction. Ah, whose signature do you suppose is next in our book? That of a Dart- mouth Freshman. Yes, it belongs to John Ryan-one of the suave young men of the class of '37. Here, what's this! a modest. chap, H. A. You don't suppose it could be Howard Anderson, do you? He attends Fitchburg College and his sole aim in life is to graduate as a teacher of wood- working. Joseph Brewer is furthering his edu- cat.ion at Tabor Academy. I-Iis name will always bring back memories of his part in last year's circus. Although Mary Curtin may be in- terested in Annapolis, she is working hard at Lasell. For proof of that fact, she is on the Dean's List.. It's no overwhelming surprise to find Cynthia Drew's name under that of Mary. She attends Colby Jr. College, and we wonder for need wel if she ex- cels in sports there as she did in good old land newj P. H. S. Aha, now we see it all! Here is the name of one Robert Sampson. My, but B. U. has changed him. He's as formal as Mr. Brewer and quite a ladies' man, so we hear. We may well imagine that Mr. Sampson escorted Miss Drew to our open house. The names of the alumni who have positions in and about Plymouth have filled our next page. First we find Allen Morelli who is working at the Plymouth Men's Shop, and not far away is Butt- ner's where Barbara Armstrong is em- ployed. William Petrell, we understand, is gainfully employed in his father's lum- ber business. Blanche Borghi en- light -ens us by stating that she works in the Electric Light Office. Stanley Addyman has become an am- bitious chap these days. He not only attends Wentworth in the evening but Txgends his days working in the Puritan ills. PILGRIM John. Maccaferri is advancing very rapidly in the business world. When t.here is a need for your shoes to be re- paired, remember' that Johnny-on-the spot Maccaferri will be glad to be of service. Now we see the signature of the in- imitable Ethel Shwom. We shall never forget her amusing monologues and her weeping act at the Class Banquet. She is working in her father's store in North Plymouth. Although Mary Genovese has not re- corded her occupation here, we know, ffor that's our businessl that she is employed in But.tner's. The next young lady in our book sells tickets at the North Plymouth theatre. It's Miss Dorine Kirkey, and may we add that she has that box-office ap- peal . Burdett has attracted many of our girls this year, for we see on this page that Ruth Flagg, Arlene Neal, and Miriam Klasky are enrolled t.here. The following twosome, also enrolled at Bur- dett, are, of course, Marjorie Harlo-w and Lois Holmes. Another of our alumni intends to be- come a good secretary. It's Marjorie Tracy whose Alma Mater is Bryant and Stratton. Bridgewater Normal is represented by Miriam Pratt, Alba Martinelli, Kath- erine Lahey, and Mary Brigida. We are happy to say, at this time, that Shirley Dutton, Jeannette Martin, and Dorothy Perkins have completed their four-year course and will soon be full-fledged teachers awaiting their chance to serve the youth of America, while Marjorie Belcher, who received her A. B. from Mt. Holyoke this June, already has her opportunity for service in the Depart- ment of Economics and Sociology at Mt. Holyoke. We think that Gabe Ferrazzi should be mentioned here. He was not able to sign our guest book because a whole continent divides us. He is at San Di- ego State Teachers College. The final signature is that of last year's class president, Le-Baron Briggs, one of our two alumni enrolled at Harvard. We close our book with hearts aglow At the varied talents the alumni showy And at the end of one more year To them we give -a rousing cheer. We hope that you will do unto Our Advertisers as they have done by us. THE FILGRIM 39 ,f brws A . ,ff '0 O Jr' 1 THE FACULTY Top Row: Mr. Smiley. Miss H. M.

MANY people believe that Lat.in is a dead language, but though it is not spoken in any country today, it lives in our language, on our monuments, in our newspapers, in the works of the great. Latin poets, and in our own laws and customs. It is estimated that about three-fourths of the words of the Eng- lish language are derived from the Latin. This shows that Latin is a very great aid in helping us to know the meanings, as well as the spelling, of the words in our mother tongue. Latin is necessary, not because of the language itself. but because of the training and development which our minds receive from studying such a language. We can never really under- stand the principles and structure of our own English language unless we have studied Latin. But, you may ask, why does not a Romance language like French produce the same effect? Latin is the foundation of all the Romance languages, and therefore most helpful to anyone who wishes to know well his own or another Romance language. Latin lives in everyday life. For one week our class collected all phrases, written or spoken, which pertained to Latin. Mea Culpa and ite, missa est , as well as references to Rome of the Punic Wars, were found in one edi- torial. Another was written about Horace and contained several Latin phrases, among them Emollit mores, nec sinuisse feros. One was entitled Austria Infelix or Unlucky Austriaf' The soothsayer's warning to Caesar, Beware the Ides of March was ex- plained in another. This article also told how Latin dates are reckoned, that is, from the Calends, or first day of the monthg from the Nones, which are usually the fifth dayg or from the Ides, which were usually the thirteenth. fn E L,- Referendum,', Tri-Partite Pact, and Status Quo were found in the head- lines of three other newspaper articles. It is not uncommon to hear Latin phrases given over the radio by some of our news commentators, and in our own legislative department and in the British Parliament such quotations are often heard. Not long ago, at Harvard, a letter written entirely in Latin was received from Yugoslavia: asking' for the best poems and stories written in this coun- try on the subject Mother, Harvard officials declared that they would be glad to comply with this request, and would write a letter to that effect in Latin. In our own town we find evidences of Latin. The inscription Plymouth Nov. -Anglia Sigillum Societatisu may be found on both Pilgrim Hall and the Court House, while the memorial on the training Green bears these words, Memoria in Aeternafi Latin has lived for hundreds of years and will live for hundreds of years more because it always has been, and always will be, necessary for anyone desiring a cultural background.

Une ecole superi- eure sans le francais est aussi absurde. On ne doutera pas que l'Amerique siinteresse de plus en plus aux nations etrangeres. Elle Commerce avec ces pays, et y conduit beaucoup de negoci- ations. La France est une de ces nations. Alors, ne sera-t-elle pas d'avantage de savoir les coutumes des Francais et d'apprendre leur language. Le francais est une des plus belles langues du monde. Elle est moderne et Vive. Dans la salle de classe les etudi- ants peuvent tenir une conversation avec enthousiasme en bon francais. Ils peuvent lire et cornprendre les bons livres francais. Peut-etre direz-vous que les bons livres sont traduits en anglais. C'est vrai. Mais un livre traduit perd souvent sa beaute artistique et le style litteraire de l'auteur. Ne pensez-vous pas un moment que le francais soit facile a apprendre. Seule- ment avec un travail assidu, les eleves peuvent gagner quelque chose qui sera utile. Mais, les etudiants qui aiment la langue savent que l'etude de francais n'est pas toujours decourageante. Ils veulent bien l'etudier parce qu'ils savent aussi que cela vaut la peine. Nous voyons que les etudiants qui font de bon travail ont une prononci- ation plus claire. Ils comprennent mieux la signification des mots anglais. S'ils vont en France, ou meme font la con- naissance des Francais, ils pourront s'en tirer. Beaucoup d'hommes ont passe toute leur vie a perfectionner le systeme d'education en Amerique. Empecher les eleves d'apprendre le francais dans les ecoles superieures sera un pas en arricre. -MARY CINGOLANI l MELEZ-VOUS DE VOS AFFAIRES A travers les rues occupees de la ville un tres.grand agent de police menait une petlte enfant par la main. Une femme avec un regard maternel s'est arretee devant les deux pour un mo- ment. Puis. dans un eclat soudain de sympathie elle s'est inclinee sur la fille et l'a baisee. .-Pauvre petite enfant, a-t-elle dit tristement. Elle semble si froide et affamee. Et je ne crois pas qu'elle ait ete lavee pendant toute une semaine. Ou l'avez-vous trouvee, monsieur? -Je ne l'ai pas trouvee, a repondu l'homme en colere. C'est ma propre fille. -ELVA MULCAHY LES JOURS DE FETE EN FRANCE C'est dupuis quatre ans que je cor- responds avec une fille qui demeure au midi de la France. De temps en temps elle m'a decrit comment les Francais celebrent leurs jours de fete. Voici quelques reseignements qu'elle m'a envoyes. Le Noel-En rentrant de la masse de minuit, les Francais reveillentg c'est a dire, on mange et on boit jusqu'a une heure avancee du matin. Dans la nuit de 24 ou 25 decembre les petits enfants mettent leurs souliers dans les chim- inees et le pere Noel leur met des jouets et des bonbons dedans. Le I az'rliI-C'est le jour ou on se fait des farces de toutes sortes et lorsque la personne a qui l'on a fait la farce croit ce qu'on lui dit. Pour le detromper on lui dit: -Attrape, poisson d'avril. Ln Tozcssahzf-tc'est a dire, Armis- ticeDayl Le jour de la Toussaint en France il y a des ceremonies civiles. Les autorites vont apporter des couronnes et des gerbes de fleurs aux monuments aux morts. A Paris c'est le president de la Republique qui depose des couronnes et des gerbes sur le tombe du soldat inconnu. La. Fefe du T7'Cl'UCll'l--E11 France le l mai, c'est la fete du travailg aussi beau- coup d'ouvriers font la greve et font aussi des manifestations. C'est aussi le jour ou on achete des petits bouquets qu'on offre a ses amis, et il parait que ce petit bouquet porte bonheur. Le Mardi-Gfras - Dans les villes comme Nice il y a de tres belles caval- cades. A Nice il y a des batailles de fleurs sur terre et sur l'eau. Une grande cav- alcade et toutes sortes de rejouissances se trouvent la. Ainsi, vous pouvez voir que les Fran- cais celebrent presque les meme jours de fete que nous, et de presque la meme facon. Vous voyez aussi, qu'i1s s'amusent beaucoup les jours de fete. -FLORENCE CANUCCI Le ministre-Pourquoi avez-vous fait la reverence dans l' eglise le dimanche passe toutes les fois que le nom de Satan etait mentionne? L'homme-Eh bien! La politesse ne coilte rien et-on ne sait jamais. -RENATO PEDRINI 42 THE PILGRIM LA PREMIERE FOIS Une jeune fille, avec son pere, est allee pour la premiere fois au cinema. Le pere s'est assis au milieu du theatre, mais la fille a accompagne quelques-unes de ses amies qui sont allees au premier rang. Le cinema a commence et tout a l'heure a montre un grand feu de foret. Tout a coup la petite fille, se levant, a couru a son pere. -Qu'est-ce qu'il y a, a-t-il dit, est-ce que le feu vous a effrayee? -Non, je n'en ai pas peur, a repondu la petite. -Alors, qu'avez-vous? -La fumee m'a fait mal aux yeux, a repris simplement la fllle. -FRANCIS SCHEID Voice des defauts, des boners, pris des lettres recues des Hlles frangaises. -I am a brother, he has thirteen years. -In French schools we does not write poems. -I think to you but I cannot write because I had to bed and I cannot stir. Now I am healed. -I know which in America the girls dance much. Is it right? -For me I do not know the dance, I make the bicyclette. C'etait pendant la classe d'histoire. Nous etudions la guerre de 1812 et nous parlions du bateau Constitution, qui etait aussi appele Old Ironsidesf' Sur la mur il y avait une belle peinture de ce bateau. Un des plus brillants etudiants de l'eco1e a leve la main. La professeur a dit, Qu'est-ce que vous voulez? L'etudiant, avec un air serieux, a dit, Cette peinture, represente-elle la Con- stitution'? -Oui, a repondu la professeur en attendant. -Eh bien, si c'est la Constitution, laquelle est Old Ironsides? -ALFRED PIZZOTTI Un dimanche, un Ecossais et sons fils marchaient. Ils avaient decide de marcher a la compagne. Apres quelques minutes de silence le pere a dit: -Mon iils, portez-vous vos meilleurs rouliers? -Mais oui, papa, dit le jeune garcon. Maman m'a dit de les porter, parce que c'est dimanche. -Eh bien. dit son pere, prenez des pas plus longs! -CAROL HANDY s -.,- QL- , CHEER LEADERS V. Kirkey, C. Whiting, P. Brigida, J. Holmes, R.

The mem- bers have planned hikes to record the beauties of nature. They also plan to make an album of school photographs including candid shots. They sponsored the booth See Yourself as Others See You at the Carnival Capers. The club hopes to take part in the statewide ex- hibit to be held at the Newton High Ruth 'Schilling Bradford Smith Richard Tubbs Charlotte Whiting School, on May 9th to 13th inclusive. In preparation for this exhibit the mem- bers have prepared many interesting and unusual snapshots. The purpose of the club is to teach the student members how to take pic- tures correctly and to familiarize each pupil with the processes entailed in de- veloping the prints. This worthy aim is greatly hindered by the lack of de- veloping equipment and the need of a dark room. THE RAD-I0 CLUB Founded-November 1, 1937 Teacher Sponsor . . ..,...,..

To aid in getting the equipment needed to start work, several radio shops in our town gave generously of their supply of odd parts. Early in the year the members made a field trip to WIBTL in North Plymouth. During the first months most of their time was occupied in learning to send and re- ceive Morse Code and in building con- siderable equipment for advanced work. Their meetings were held on Monday and Friday during utility period in pie in -if air vin vis ii: vga vi: 111 rin li: :im 11: is -in in :init in viuiiinin 2:1111 ni 3 :in 31:14:31: Room 102, while in the afternoon of the same days they met at their workshop in the South Street School where they transmitted on the five-meter band. For this short wave broadcasting they built their own power supply unit. The goal set by the club is to have each student member know how to re- pair or build a radio set, and to prepare him to get his operating license. A chart is kept of each student's progress. It is the hope of the club that every mem- ber will become acquainted with many phases of radio work by the end of the current school year.

Francis Scheid Vice-President Amedeo Galvani Secretary- Treasurer Iride Albertini Helen Belcher Florence Canucci Mary Cingolani Carol Handy , Jeanette Hatton Roland Holmes Alice Riley Betty Studley John Tavernelli Since its inauguration the Honor Society has had charge of many assem- blies of various kinds. At one time it held a What Next? night at which graduates and teachers were asked to speak on different colleges and other institutions of learning. Then it organ- ized a group of cheer leaders and se- cured some new cheers through a con- test which each home room entered. It was the Honor Society which organized the present Student Activities Society. For several years the members of this group have had charge of Senior Get Togethersf' dancing classes for seniors. It drew up a point system, a few years ago, to aid the teachers in judging leadership and service when selecting members for the Society. Last year it Barbara Paty Members Leo Roberge William Tedeschi Brooks Barnes Frances Brown Mary Elizabeth Edes Eleanor Fascioli Jane Holmes Emily McEwen Nahum Morse Charlotte Whiting made arrangements for an Alumni Day. In the near future the society plans to organize an alumni association of all its members who have graduated. If a teacher is absent, it is the duty of some member of this society to act as monitor in her room. This year the members decided to take care of all the stage properties and costumes which the high school possesses. The purpose of the club is to recog- nize scholarship and service to the school, and to develop character and leadership.

The camp is for one week, in which time those attending are taught fores- try, conservation, and nature by ex- perts in those fields. 'IM i -' '-'rf-'-lil.. Vernon Kirkey Willard Lavoie Paul Sampson The 4-H Club has taken part in many out-of-town events. In February of the current year, members attended a re- union of older members in Hanover, at which all enjoyed dancing and refresh- ments. They Went to Whitman on March 2, to attend an illustrated lecture in colors on Touring the United States. The purpose of the club is to acquaint the students with forest conservation, tree surgery, wild life, surveying, anil map making. During the last three years the club has successfully carried on a tent caterpillar campaign. in -,,v I ie ' - - 1' .sf Il INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENCE CLUB First Row: F. Brown. O. Montali, H.

On October 28, 1937, the club sponsored a costume dance which was very successful, since the greater part of the dancers entered into the spirit of the affair and appeared in costume. The proceeds of this dance were to pay for bringing Dr. Knudsen of Boston to the school to give a lecture when he gets back from abroad. The purpose of the club is to create world friendship. It has as its motto, Build friendships, not warshipsf' The members carry on correspondence with many foreign countries, the most im- portant being with England, France, Italy, Japan, and Swedeng while South Africa, Malay, Honolulu, the East In- dies, and Egypt are among the most unusual.

No more basketball, no more cheering, no more dancing, and no more excuse to buy lollypops. The blue and white suits are cleaned and packed away in moth- balls. Last year's basketball is but a vague remembrance to some of us, but there are many who'll never forget. They will always remember the night when we outscored Bridgewater in the Memorial Hall, when we played in Middleboro, and when we beat East Bridgewater on their own floor. We must admit that our team was not outstanding this year, but we must also state that the competition this year was above average. We are thinking of such talented players as Hickey at Ab- ington, Pratt at Bridgewater, Allen and McCarthy at Weymouth, Tedeschi at Rockland, and Maki at Barnstable. There you have the material for an out- standing basketball team. Of course we have James, of whom we are proud, but a man of medium height does not and can not win a game by himself. This year we are fortunate in losing only two players from our starting line- ? , WA- l Y l upg Wayne Allen, a guard, and Leo Ro- berge, our center. But their places should be efficiently filled by some of the very promising sophomores who have already seen service on the vars- ity. We are also sorry to lose Govoni and Regini through graduation. Our second team will feel the loss of Brigida and Bastoni. Next season we are looking forward to a good scoring team with Garuti and James at the forward positions and Rogers at center. These three have ob- tained much needed experience in the past year. We expect our goal to be well defended by Freeman and Farina, two promising junior guards. The source of greatest stimulation to the spirits of the team at every game last year was the support of the student body. The attendance at the games an el the enthusiastic cheering were most encouraging. Mr. Gilbert C. Garland replaced Mr. Clark Click Ingraham this year as coach of our basketball team. We all agree that he has done a line job of coaching, considering the inexperienced material with which he had to work. He was assisted by Mr. Knowlton who helped to drill the squad in practice ses- sions. BOYS' BASKETBALL First Row: W. Allen, G. Freeman, B. James, W. Garuti, M. Regini Second Row: Mr. Garland, G.

Smiling cheerfully, the coach forgot for the moment the task of storing away the baseball uniforms for the summer months, and greeted each boy by name as he entered the room. What seems to be the trouble here ? asked Mr. Knowlton. Why all the sad looks on your faces? Aren't you glad you're going to graduate ? It was the last day of school and all the graduating football players had gathered here for the last time. They had come to get one more look at the place where they had dressed so many times in preparation for a football game, and to bid farewell to their coach whom they had come to respect and ad- mire. Nothing, especially, replied Allen, our captain and right guard, only we were talking of our last season's record and we rather regret the standing we made. Nonsense, boys, I'm proud of the way you played. I'll always remember the pep and fight you showed at the Dedham game. Although the average weight of our opponents was much higher than ours, they had to struggle for every gain they made. The game I regret was the one played in Bridgewa- ter when we lost a twelve-point lead and subsequently the game. I'll never forget the Rockland game, said Wright, and the smile on Martin Brewster's face showed that he agreed. How we sang and cheered all the way home on the bus! I miss Leonardi's voice around here since he left school, remarked Mr. Knowlton. He was always arguing with Roberge as to which nationality was superior, Italian or French, and everyone laughed. Speaking of missing people, it was too bad Galvani's trick knees had to start troubling him in the middle of the season. His weight and speed might have helped very much in the Whitman, Weymouth, and Saugus games, sighed Regini. Pearson, never a garrulous person, was meditating upon the defeats at Hingham, Abington, and Middleboro. After a little more conversation the boys left the locker room after mentally saying goodbye to everything that it represented, and went their respective ways. Every one of them would like nothing better than to be able to return to school next year to play again. Al- though the team had not won many games, yet they had found something here worth much more to them than vic- tories. They had learned to play the game for the joy of the physical contact which the sport demands, and not for the sole purpose of winning every game. Parsons, Peck, and Joseph P. Govoni were also an asset to the varsity. The other graduating senior players are Darsch, S. Brewster, Malaguti, and Grifiin. CHEER UP, BOYS Many games you've lost, boys, You played them clean and fast, Beaten at the end, boys, Tough! But let it pass. Not the losing counts, boys, When you've played them fair, Those who cheat in games, boys, Are the ones who need to care. So it is in life, boys, Just make this your plan: Grit your teeth, then smile, boys, Take it like a man. L. ROBERGE '38 WHEN SILENCE COMES Sometimes, when silence spreads her wings, Like silver on the heavy air, I think of unessential things- Of swaying trees-grotesque and bare, And buterflies whose broken wings Lie helpless in ia garden path. Of gorgeous sunsets-blazing red, A dance that matched some fragile dream, And through this haze, your lifted head. And then a haunting tune, and nights To which the scent of roses clings. It's only when the silence comes, I think of unessential things.

V HE basketball teams were not par- ticularly successful this past season, very probably because the whole of the first team graduated last year and a new one had to be organized. It con- sisted of four juniors and two sopho- mores, which indicates that next year's team should give a fine account of itself. We played only seven games of which we won three and lost the rest. The second team played four games, won two, tied one, and lost one. Our oppon- ents this season were Middleboro, Whit- man, East Bridgewater, and, as usual, the alumnae. This year Mrs. Garvin held inter- class games. The Seniors lost to the Sophomores, the Junior Firsts defeated the Junior Seconds, the Junior Seconds were, in turn, defeated by the Seniors, and the winners were the Junior Firsts, who had defeated the Sophomores. The varsity consisted of four of the six on the Junior first team and two Sophomores: Jane Holmes, Betsy Drew, and Euphemia Gascoyne, forwards, Lois Rovatti, Virginia Weston, and Til- lie Bussolari, guards. IN A DESERTED SCHOOLHOUSE Echoes-as I pulled wide the heavy door And stepped inside. Echoes-of myriads of youthful voices, Heard no more. When footsteps fall on the sagging stairs Where phantoms glide, Creaks like the crackle of distant thunder Cross the floor. Initialled walls tell much of adolescent loves -Now grown old, Rain-streaked windows, oft sought by wandering eyes In dreams-now gone. Where onoe the warmth of youth gave heat Here dwells Cold: Who knows what dreams have now come true That here were born? BARBARA PATY '38 Excerpts from the Diary of P. H. S. Continued from Page 37 and very proud to offer my conveni- ences to such appreciative people. In the not too distant future I hope I shall again witness such a splendid performance, demonstrating the fine spirit of cooperation between teachers and the student body! April 3 A day of rest! ! Thank goodness! BULLY! HE hockey team was entirely suc- cessful this year in view of the fact that it was composed of one sophomore, seven juniors, and only three seniors. The first team played seven games, won two, tied two, and lost three while the second team won three games, tied two, and lost one. Probably the most exciting game of the season was in Scituate. The oppos- ing team had made two points in the first half, and we were trying to defeat them in the pouring rain, but we were unable to score ourselves. Mrs. Garvin continued, as usual, her excellent coaching, and was very much pleased to find that more girls came out for hockey this season than ever before. Special credit goes this year to Cap- tain Carol Handy, L. W., Evon Lee, R. F. B., and Marion Lahey, Goalkeep- er, for their four years of consistent practice. Others on the team were: Tillie Bussolari, R. W., Lois Rovatti, R. I., Charlotte Whiting, C. F., Barbara Harlow, L. I., Betsy Drew, R. H., Jane Holmes, C. H., Antonette Rossetti, L. H., and Brooks Barnes, L. F. B. Next year we hope that we may re- ward Mrs. Garvin's patience and coop- eration by having an undefeated team. MAGIC Out of the miles of blackness- Out of the starless night- Across the darkened skyline Her soul's eyes saw no light. Out of the deepening stillness- Out of the mystic air- Out of her inward torment She heard music soft and rare. Into her restless spirit- Into her turbulent brain- Came a sudden, soothing calmness Like a sweet and gentle rain.
