Those who know whats what just look For Libero and the Uboysf' A Tribute to Cur Best Citizen HIS year the senior class chose Bar- bara Paty as its best citizen. 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. STUDLEY

THE PILGRHVL 19 ALFRED PIZZOTTI Mary had a little lamb. Its fleece was white as snow: But Alfred's pet is shining black- Its power we all know. t A .,- TLP-' '-,Xu ive 1 3 X DONALD RANDALL We see the good sense As we grow older Of one who won't carry A chip on his shoulder. WARREN RAYMOND He never says so very much. But o'er and o'er again We've all been told we must b ware Of those dark, silent men. MARIO REGINI Your weighty discussions Nearly floor us- But, goodness knows, They never bore us! GERALD REZENDES Twinkling eyes and Curling hair- When mischief's done, He's had his share. GILBERT ROBBINS In two respects We think him wise: He neither grumbles Nor gives alibis. 9: LEO ROBERGE As the Blind Man in the play, You really did excel, But with a certain senior You didn't do so well. . 1 ' M .. v , , FRANCIS SCHEID He's the president of our class: So please don't show alarm When we whisper to you softly, He lives at the County Farm! EDWIN SEARS Whenever he smiles His dimples show, This gets his goat As we all know! HOWARD SMITH vr 'Where did you get that hat? Is an old-time tune, 'tis true, But if we're not presuming, We'll sing that song to you. JOHN TAVERNELLI Johnny's our Latin genius, He excels in French aussi, But where he gets those haircuts Is a deep. dark mystery. g f ,f i f ' ,A WILLIAM TEDESCHI He shall have music wherever he goes And plenty of people around him, For he has only to touch ivory keys, And a music-mad throng will surround him.

THE PI LGRIM 21 NEALO HAIRA SAYS- MY dear, haul up a chair: the great day is almost here . . . yes, grad- uation . . . there are several thousand others graduating also . . . make you feel small? . . . Just as a reminder of bygone days . . . those assemblies in the old building sponsored by the home- rooms with all the dreadful suffering the leaders had to undergo, and the quivering of divers limbs, surely you remember . . . Many of the good deeds done in Plymouth can be attributed to members of the senior class, the most outstanding boy scouts being Roland Holmes, Francis Kritzmacher, Ray- mond Bocacci, Wilfred Cohen, Amedeo Galvani, and Vernon Kirkey . . . Be- cause we still remember Mr. Williams smashing the head of lettuce, we vote that the assembly, Wonders of Liquid Air, be given the title of the most in- teresting presented in the new build- ing . . . It is rumored that the suc- cessors to Amos and Andy are Howard Smith and Eddie Sears . . . could be . . . Whoever thought of that Washyer Windshield program, anyway . . . To-day's favorite gag: Stooge-Who gave Lincoln's Gettysburg Address ? Smarty-Johnny Tavernelli . . . at that it's a safe answer . . . On the authority of a certain biology teacher, most snakes are harmless. Okay, we believe him, but he and Professor Clapp may have our share . . . Because there are more boys than girls in the Class of '38, you won't see an extended row of girls in the reception line-we hope . . . The present senior class proved its mental prowess when Professor Myles gave those mental tests to 110 of us . . . Old helpful at the bat again, the best Way to gain the head of the cafeteria line-up is to practice at home. Jump at a signal and dash mad- ly down the stairs. Plan to have your family about to obstruct your progress . . . it adds the touch of realism . . . This is a sure thing, after two weeks you'll be in perfect form . . . we aren't vouching for your family . . . In words of a Southern slangster, the cup-cakes made by the male cooking classes are Creole, meaning tops . . . or are they? . . . Why is it that almost every- one fexcluding Bart Brigidab so hates to answer the phone? . . . shy little violets, aren't we? . . . And the one time when every senior wracks his brain is when he's trying to think of a clever remark to put in Commence- ment Memories under the column Wants to be . . . From the Class of '38 we nominate to the Hall of Fame in oratory, Francis Scheidg drama, Leo Robergeg music, Bill Tedeschig and sports, Wayne Allen. B. STUDLEY 38 P. H. S. 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!
