The following article appeared in the New York Times, on July 7, 1952: Well-known novelist plans tour of the United States. She is gathering ma- terial for a most unusual book, in which she will use many old acquain- tances as characters. She . . . The article continues, but let us change the scene. Two girls occupy a luxurious New York apartment. One is walking excitedly up and down, the other is sitting languidly in a comfort- able chair. 'Tm sure I don't know where she could be! I exclaimed, mentally wring- ing my hands. You always told me that Miss Chand- ler was such an efficient secretary, Gloriaf' was Agnes Barlow's only com- ment. She is, I answered hotly. Some- thing weird must have happened to detain her! She has been gone four weeks now. The assignment you gave her must have proved diflicultf' Aggie smugly replied, knocking my words down my throat un- til I practically choked. Possibly. I received one letter from her from Chicago last week. In it she said that she is bringing Margaret DeCost, famous dress designer, with her. Margaret has just returned from Europe. I expected them yesterdayf' A door slammed in the rear of the apartment, and Lois Chandler, Mar- garet DeCost, and a small, dark-haired girl entered the room. They were fol- lowed by our two favorite bell-hops, Louis Montali and Thomas Pimental, who were barely visible under an enor- mous pile of luggage. I have your list of people. It took four long and tedious weeks to get it, and I even had to hire another secretary to help me. I brought her back with me so that you could either pay her the salary that is due her, or, perhaps, keep her. Miss Chandler paused, breathless. But you are my secretary. I don't need another one! I rebelled. You needn't worry about that! She can be mine. Meet Miss Pozzi. Her first name is Tina. I greeted Miss Pozzi and readily assented to Miss Chandlerls idea. An- other secretary would be of assistance on my trip, although I rather resented the idea of hiring a secretary for my secretary. Still the inference was that I was a person of some importance-and this was flattering, if costly. Let's shuffle along, Agnes called from an adjoining roorn. I have every- thing ready. But how are we going? questioned Miss Chandler. The room was so silent we could hear our brains knocking. We contemplated -but, before we could all reach the same conclusion, we heard a frightening roar above our heads, and a gray streak whizzed past the terrace, circled, and landed on sixteen wheels! It resembled an extremely large bullet. Like an answer to a prayer, Audrey Maloon, world famous aviatrix, stepped non- chalantly from the machine. I was a little dubious about the huge, gray bullet, but, as the others were en- thusiastic, I had as little choice as a bone at a dog fight. We went over and examined our conveyance. It really was a plane! Collecting our bags, we climbed aboard. Our conscientious Margaret turned to the gaping bell-hops and tipped them. That's for service de luxe, she said like a condescending pat on the head. By this time the mana- ger of the hotel, George Moskos, had ap- peared to bid us carbolic acid, which is ggod-bye in any language, and we were o ! I turned to wave goodbye to my dear friend, Miss Liberty, but she was no- where to be seen. Before we were quite certain that we had left New York, we had landed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I marveled at the accomplishment of the plane-and of Audrey Maloon. At the airport, pilots Charles Nicker- son and Bradford Smith came running over, followed by mechanic William Ide. They eagerly inspected the plane. Brad- ford, still nuts about planes, begged like a worm to be allowed to try the new model, but Audrey showed no more sympathy than a robin. Will Ide, mean- While, with a hammer in his hand, pro- ceeded alternately to tap and pound the plane to determine how soundly it was constructed. Subconsciously, I compared his maneuvers to those of a doctor giving a physical examination. THE PILGRIM 7 If there weren't something organically wrong by the time he finished, it wouldn't be his fault. After Audrey clouded up and rained her refusal on them, they walked dejectedly away. We were greeted by air stewardess, Peggy Roncarati, who took us to one of the adjacent restaurants, which, we dis- covered, was owned by Alfonse Gam- bini. He had become used to having his money yell, not whisper, Peggy in- formed us. Due to the great success of his business ventures, he owned a chain throughout the country. We decided to visit the steel mills first, for we had learned that they were owned by a shrewd quartet who pos- sessed hearts of stainless steel-Warren Borgatti, Frank Ingenito, Umberto Stanghellini, and Warren Garuti. The tour was unexciting, but as interesting as any expedition which requires the inspection of large quantities of machin- ery could be, and the workers appeared to be very happy. At least Bruno Adamo, Frank Gallo, and Roy McLean were whistling while they worked. Stopping to peer into one of the of- fices, we spied William Riley, head of the employment department, sleeping soundly. Manuel Amaral and Harley Mitchell, who had been busily painting a sign, now admired their handiwork and hung it on the door of Riley's office. Approaching. we read: Out of Order ! ! We started back to our plane. On the way Agnes passed a newspaper stand owned by Peter Sylvia and Mary Nick- erson, and here Agnes. with the idea of improving our minds, purchased a paper. Then we scrambled into the plane, each clutching her favorite sec- tion of the paper. Make the next stop Washington. Audrey, called Aggie. It must be very exciting there with national elections impending! This paper savs that Robert Briggs, renowned Harvard professor. is the candidate of the Never Sav Die party, and his brisk manner, tireless energy. and fine intellect. are certain to impress the electorate. Harold Scheid, our senior class president, is the candi- date for the Straight from the Shoul- der partyg Scheid has made some really brilliant speeches. and he intends to win -slowly but surely! Margaret looked up from her paper, Here's something about Representative Mongan. He has little to say about the election, and consistently refuses to fore- cast its result. Both Briggs and Scheid are good friends of his. Perhaps Mon- gan is too much occupied with his social obligations in the capital to be deeply concerned about the presidential cam- paignf' Who says so? I asked. Editor Stanley Cook! Stanley is no longer the dashing Romeo of our school days. He now advocates social reform with great determination, and is as well- known for his vigorous writing as West- brook Pegler was twelve years ago. Also on the staff of the paper we found some classmates who had entered the field of journalism. Helen Hamilton was both the beauty editor and fashion reviewer. Barbara Kritzmacher was in charge of the household department, and took great satisfaction in offering each day new receipes which she had glee- fully concocted ten minutes before they went to press. Clifford Sampson was the star reporter, and Barbara Griswold had made a great success of her column, Advice to the Lovelornf' Charles Anti did a comic strip, and we observed with some dismay that his characters were still using jokes he had tried out on us years ago! We arrived in Washington in the midst of a riot. People were gathered on the sidewalks watching a group of wo- men who were carrying large signs say- ing, We want our rights. Weill finish the fight that started seventy years ago. The onlookers were very much amused by all this. The leader was Lillian Coggeshall, at her best when in- volved in a really heated argument. She was the women's candidate for Presi- dent. Eleanor Welch was busily pass- ing pamphlets among the people. The women thought that the men had been the pants of the federal government long enough, and that it was time that the petticoats demonstrated how the job should be done. Among the group of determined feminists we saw Elizabeth Dupuis, Josephine Morini, and Elizabeth Covell. Lawyers Anna Bagni and Dor- othy Musto, prepared for any opposition, followed the group in a large, yellow limousine. Hearing the scream of police sirens, we ran to our plane for safety. We would visit Washington, D. C., at some other time when the lid was off the pot and the water couldn't boil so vigor- ously! That was a wise decision, for We later learned that so furious a battle had occurred that patrolmen Henry Darsch, Alfred Sitta, and Peter Sa were injured Continued on Page 10 THE PILGRIM ' it 'Y-HTL St-.N-.D 't?T'VE.Y+..

Ringleaders Virginia Mitchell and Charlotte Raymond were fined fifty cents and sentenced to a night in jail by Judge Charles Anderson. Sybil Feinberg, lawyer, rushed down from New York to defend the women and to try to persuade the judge to change his decision, but he merely smiled at her patiently. The next day one candidate quietly dropped out of the campaign for President. Audrey's plane was spectacular! Not only did it have speed to burn, but it contained conveniences that were finer than those to be found in most homes. We had just about time to eat, prink, and change our clothes before we reached Detroit, where we were eager to visit the Davidson and Walker automo- bile plants where the monthly style show was being held. Their cars were the last word in streamlined perfection, and we desired especially to meet the designers. Reaching the plant, we were taken to the main offices after we had been searched by two officers who were on guard at the gate. Guards Paul Samp- son and Allen Wall decided that it would be permissible for us to inspect the plant, and Gilbert Tavares. another of the husky guards, all of whom thought they were little tough guys in society, was detailed to show us around. We passed through room after room where girls were working busily. In fact, it wasn't long before we realized that only girls were employed in these ofHces- and all pulse-warming de-icers at that. In one of the offices we saw Michelena Ruggiero, energetically snapping gum and displaying her new suit to Enis Capozucca and Aurora Janeiro. Sud- denly, the appearance of Lillian Hall, personnel director, brought a sharp change in the atmosphere. Miss Hall, who believed in meeting life's crises sensibly, walked slowly up and down the aisles, and severely reprimanded Louise Perrault, who was engaged in combing her golden locks. Miss Hall decided that the iiibbertigibbety girls needed a talk on business etiquette, and we heard just a bit, but enough. of her rousing speech before we faded out. Olga Montali, secretary to Walker, led us into his office. The room was start- ling. We saw none of the conventional equipment, but instead, comfortable divans and chairs, a few tables, and a huge blackboard at one end of the room. Oliver Davidson and Charles Walker, owners of this plant, were sitting around a table, with Harris Frim, treasurer, of the company, and Robert Tedeschi, tak- ing notes on the discussion. The men were gazing rapturously at a group of models whom they had hired to pose beside their cars for advertising pur- poses. The girls strolled lingeringly around the room. Phemie Gascoyne, famous sports star, who was roughing up her back hair, was first. Following her came Bar- bara Harlow, Glamour Girl No. 999, swathed in silver fox furs and weaving towards her two would-be employers like a big moment just coming into their lives. Louise Bernagozzi, waving her eyelashes, and Dorothy Wollaston. Hash- ing that Kiss-me-kid look, walked with assurance in front of Grace Dick- son, Miss America of 1952? Unable to choose from among them, Walker and Davidson hired all the girls. During the beauty parade two men had entered the room. Walking to the blackboard, they proceeded to make fantastic sketches, quite unconcerned with the display of pulchritude. Ob- viously they had become immune to woman's helplessly adoring expression and crafty wiles. The great designers were none other than Gabriel Luiz and Tony Carbone. The girls, all of whom believed that men were convenient to have around, immediately clustered about them and begged to have their pictures drawn. The room had been in an uproar when we entered, and we had come in unnoticed. We left unnoticed. Peering anxiously around for Miss Barlow, who had slipped away in the confusion, we found her surrounded by a group of Workers. Edging into the circle, we beheld her teaching them how to dance. We saw Everett Lanman, Charles Tavares, and Bob Fortini watch- ing with animation as swing began to sway their souls. The group quickly dispersed when the foreman, Arthur Ruemker, appeared and scolded them with the quiet pleasure of a person twisting a knife in a wound. Miss Pozzi pulled Agnes away impatiently, and we departed. A few hours later, entering Dallas, Texas, we found a deserted city, where only stragglers were to be seen on the street.

GERALD ALBERTINI Laryngitis laid him low On his oral topic day, But, since tomorrow always comes, There was no escape that way. MANUEL AMARAL E We've never seen Manny In the deep throes of choler. But he has his moments We'll bet you a dollar. CHARLES ANDERSON He's never been sidetracked. He knew that he wanted Good grades, and he got them- He's not to be daunted. CHARLES ANTI If he were in the appointed place At the appointed time, We would lack a subject For this humble rhyme. BLANCHE ARRUDA The Victorian maid Was shy and coy, Very good tactics When girl meets boy. ALFRED BABINI He hasn't got dimples, He hasn't got curlsg But as football captain, He gets all the girls. ANNA BAGNI We never saw the heart- shaped face Of which the poet sings Till we inspected Anna- She owns one of the things.

JOHN BREWER Let the dead past bury its dead, Our faith in him is restored- Since that Day in Junior High School No speech has had him floored. ROBERT BRIGGS Some choose a mild and minc- ing gait, Some favor the sinuous glide, But he reaches his objective With a bold and vigorous stride. ROBERT CADORETTE We gaze at her in great sur- prise Unbelief is in our eyes- For when to her we bent to bow We found out Chicky was his cow. ENIS CAPOZUCCA If you chew two sticks a day, A pauper you will be- We feel you should be subsi- dized By Mr. William Wrigley. ANTHONY CARBONE Draw a schoolgirls picture And win a schoolgirls smile: It makes a smoothe approach, my lad- And that is most worth while.

BARBARA GRISWOLD If you do not believe her, You're naught but a dolt- More flies can be caught With sugar than salt. X... OLGA GUIDABONI We've questioned her and others, But no matter how We try We cannot learn the reason for That twinkle in her eye. RALPH HALE Ralphie's hobby is setting traps Around some shady pool, He wants to catch some musk- rats To show before the school. LILLIAN HALL Four walls may make a hall- Still no hall but her could hold Such wholly boundless energy Combined with a heart of gold!

BARBARA HARLOW Cheerful, but not capricious Alert, but not suspicious Able, but not oificious Class '40 Secretary.

JULIA HOLMES What Cedarville has That Plymouth lacks Is stranger to us Than Rip1ey's facts. WILLIAM IDE Books may be important. School may be very good: It's O. K. if you like 'em. But I just never could. FRANCIS INGENITO Among his classmates he has earned A place that few could fill: On numerous committees He has labored with a will. PASQUALE IODICE If you'd know How polite he can be. You'll have to go. To the O. C. T. EUGENIA IZZO Look not for her on the middle road. For you'l1 not find her there: But search the peaks of ec- stacy Or the very depths of despair. AURORA JANEIRO I can't help it, says Loli, If my stature is so low- I've thought so much of other things I quite forgot to grow.

Why succumb to grief and tears? Of troubles, she'll have none. EVERETT LANMAN Bashful he may be, But we think not In spite of the fact That he blushes a lot. GABRIEL LUIZ In a dozen pretty girls He finds a subject fit to paint: As for flowers and for still- life, He declares that they just ain't.

We are in despair When we try to picture Louis At fifty-with no hair. OLGA MONTALI You may be inclined To think her naive, But watch her when school's out: What a shock you'l1 receive! 17 GLORIA MORELLI Gogo, like Jack Horner, Has her thumb in every pie, Or if, by chance, she hasn't, She'll know the reason why. GEORGE MORGADO This is really Hard to getg She's his Scarlett, He's her Rhett. JOSEPHINE MORINI Are you having any fun? Now donit you be a dunce. Why study so relentlessly?

DOROTHY MUSTO Chatterbox, chatterbox, All the day long- But no more of the words Can we use from the song. CHARLES NICKERSON With rod and gun he proudly proves Himself to be a winner, And many a girl would gladly serve A duck for Sunday dinner.

ANGELO PROVINZANO Let it be classical, Let it be swing, Duffy's right there Having his fling. GEORGE RANDALL We've been told that players Never hear the crowd's ac- claim: But we know he heeds the cheers Of one girl we could name. CHARLOTTE RAYMOND Little pitchers have big ears. At least, so we've been told: Perhaps for us she'd check the truth Of this adage old. BELLA REZENDES She has no Sir Echo, She doesn't need one- When she yells for Plymouth, The job is well done. FLORENCE RICHMOND Come rain. come shine She doesn't mind- She comes to us On the Manomet bus. RUTH and WILLIAM RILEY This little girl liked to study While this little boy liked to play. They couldn't do both together So they compromised one day. Now Ruthie helps her brother While he tries to be good. Then they both trot off to playland And behave as all twins should. 19 BETTY ROBBINS Here restraint is Omnipresent, She is never Effervescent.

We've never seen him gay, But he must Kind his pleasure In his own peculiar way. MICHELENA RUGGIERO Mickey chewed some gum one day Which was against the rule- She had to throw that piece away And chew twenty after school.

FRANCES RYAN From dawn to dark His praise she sings, But he is her brother, Her king of kings. PETER SA By wheeze of harmonica And strum of guitar His presence on Cherry Street Is known from afar. JOHN ST. GEORGE His conduct is such That he must have accepted The very advice That Laertes rejected. CLIFFORD SAMPSON As ticket sellers our class isn't Mr. Mongan's pride and joy, But we can find throughout this school No equal to this boy. PAUL SAMPSON Let no Delilah string a line To learn the cause of your strength, Like Samson's it lies in your hair- In color-not in length. 20 VIRGINIA SAMPSON Books and games were once her world, There were no other things- Now she lends a willing ear To the song the tuba sings.

Richard discovered the girl: Sharper darts than this we lack At this boy to hurl. CHARLES WALKER The leopard cannot change his spots, At least so we have read- But when we look at Charlie, We fear we've been misled. ALLEN WALL We hope the weapons that he draws Are no indication Of the course that he'll pursue After graduation. BEATRICE WEST Moderate is her middle name. We've noticed this. to wit: When opening a school book She takes her time at it. ELEANOR WELCH Late to bed And late to rise - The standard version She decries. DOROTHEA WOLLASTON If you ever go to Plympton To breathe the country air, Look up and down the main street And you'll Iind Dolly there. COLBURN WOOD Useless, I find it, To hurry and skurryg I make haste slowly, Refusing to worry. She can bake a fine cake, She can sew a fine seam- To a thoughtful young man These real virtues would seem. 22 THE PILGRIIVI NELLIE YOUNGMAN ALTON ZANUSONI No use for Kreml Or other tonic, So short his hair It won't stay on it. THE PRINCIPAL SPEAKS UIQNOW thyself -yet who does? Of all the complexities on this earth none surpasses the human spirit. And none so richly rewards study by sustain- ing interest and increasing wisdom. The Senior Class has chosen a fine motto. It is also a very old one. The Greeks, I believe, built a whole system of edu- cation on it, which is a tribute to its use- fulness as well as its antiquity. They discovered land I suspect that other peoples before them, back to that twi- light time before the dawn of history, discovered it alsoj what every thought- ful man discovers for himself, that no matter what qualities of body and mind a man may possess, one quality must underwrite them all if they are to reach their greatest effectiveness. Courage is that quality. Without courage tact may be no more than cowardiceg forbearance, weakness, generosity, a covert form of bribery. And strength without courage may be- come merely contemptible bullying. Consider the past year. When school began here last September, war began in Europe. It dragged along in the west for three months only to burst out with savage violence in the north. As our Thanksgiving season ended, bombs were raining on Finland. Now that war is over, and as I write these words, a shameful peace is about to be imposed on a gallant nation. Finland has been defeated. But no man possessed of any self-respect would hesitate to take his stand with the Finns in that defeat, and be proud to stand there in defeat. For the Finns possess courage. Does anyone envy their conquerors? When the threat of this war lay over the land, the Finns, an intelligent people, knew the overwhelming odds against them. They knew that, hemmed in as they were by unscrupulous enemies, separated from their fearful friends, they could expect but little assistance should war come. But they also knew themselves. They knew their national honor, their integrity, their ideals, their very existence would be at stake-and they knew they possessed the courage to defend these. It must have been a source of strength and comfort to them as in- dividuals to know that as a nation they possessed the inner resources of the spirit which could and would sustain them in adversity. And to a man or a boy, to a woman or a girl, to each of us in his station as the trials of life press in to overwhelm, such knowledge can be a prop and a stay. We must examine ourselves, discover our resources, and supply such lacks as the examination discloses. Should cour- age be among these, we must work to increase it, for courage is a quality which grows readily if the will be resolute. Re- member the Finns and fear no defeat. Even defeat can be glorious - with courage. OUR HERITAGE A heritage is ours to guard: The mighty deeds our sires wrought, Those pioneers of ancient days. Who on these shores their freedom sought. No suffering, sacrijice, or death Could their brave hearts dismayg Their vision of democracy Is our birthright today. At tyrant's frown we do not quake, Nor live like slaves on bended knee, We stand erect, with courage strong, To guard our sacred liberty. If to our heritage we're true, We shall live in brotherhood, One aim through all the coming years- Our country's greatest good. RONALD SMITH '40 THE PILGRIM 23 BRUNO ADAMO ...... CHARLOTTE ADAMS .

We hadn't gone far when we heard a group of women coming towards us. One of the ladies approached me with outstretched hand. Her face seemed familiar, and then I recognized her as Julia Holmes. I'm president of the lVoman's Club. We heard that you were coming, and were preparing to meet you, but we didn't expect you so soonll This is most awkward, Margaret interrupted, feeling, as the rest of us did, like a wet shoe which nobody wants to wear. Why, the city is as deserted as if we had brought the Black Plague. To mollify us Olga Stanghellini and Florence Richmond invited us to their tea room where Barbara Sherman was the cook, and George Cavicchi the dish Washer, wiper, and breaker! After luncheon, we decided to go to the game. Here Martha Teixeira and Dorothy J. Peterson, who, because she still seemed no more than twelve, continued to attend the movies for a dime, supplied us with tickets. When we reached the stadium, we had some difficulty in getting to our seats. The place was jammed with excited people. In a frantic effort to reach my seat I stepped on Alden Mitchell, who was lying on the ground taking candid shots, and he looked at me with agonized eyes which seared my soul. Just outside the stadium we had seen George Morgardo and Edward Macca- ferri with their traveling clothing store. They had been selling white palm beach suits for players, and at that time I had begun to become a little suspicious of the game. Milton Penn had been standing in front of his store, waving his arms and de- nouncing men who travel about with portable clothing stores, but Morgardo and Maccaferri had paid no attention to him. A group of interested people had gathered around him, like a mob around a soap box orator, including Mayor Ron- ald Smith and some of his henchmen -Robert Cadorette, John Gallo, Colburn Wood, and Ralph Hale, all important in the political administration of the city. Laura Heath, reporter, stood near Catli- erine lfoutin, cartoonist for one of the local papers, who was making a slietcli of Pegin, the mayor, and Maccaferri and Morgardo. After Penn had finished his harangue, some one sympathetically dropped a coin into his outstretched palm. A buddy, no doubt, of Morgardo and Maccaferri. We turned our attention to the game. There had been players out on the field now for some time, and I was waiting impatiently for the contest to start. There were men and women riding around on tiny motor bikes with tennis rackets in their hands, and they were batting a ball around the field. This was the modern version of football.- In the game we found more class- mates. Dorothy Jesse, Lois Rovatti, Blanche Arruda, and Elsie Luz were battling Curly Randall, Alfred Babini, and Alton Zaniboni. The women were doing very well for themselves. Donald MacDonald was far out on the Held try- ing in vain to repair a fiat tire. He glanced angrily, in his Lord of the Manor Way, at his team-mates, who refused to :top to help him. Duffy Provinzano, waterboy, thinking that MacDonald was hurt, went out and poured a pail of Water down his back! The feud between Ran- dall, captain, and MacDonald was evi- dent when Randall sent Mac out of the game. Coach Harold Rogers Watched grimly from the sidelines. Captain Anna Thimas signaled to Kathleen Murray, manager, for substi- 26 THE PILGRIM tutes, and Caroline Russell, Virginia Sampson, and Bella Rezendes ran out on the field with their bikes. Promptly Edward Fernandes was sent into the game. The men needed help! I didn't particularly care for this type of football and was about to suggest leaving when a bottle hit me on the head. I turned angrily to the women behind me. Most vociferous of all was Betsey Holmes who still followed all the games, and beside her were Gene- vieve Patturelli, famous violinist, and Ruth Riley, principal of one of the local high schools. A few rows below me, I saw Dorothy Silva, dress designer, Phyl- lis Goldstein, hair stylist, and Olga Guidaboni, a jolly farmeress. We left the game when the referees, Pasquale Iodice and Theodora Malaguti, became involved in an argument over the score. John St. George, manager of the field, fearful of trouble, tried to pacify them, but by this time both the players and the spectators had taken sides. The iight was on! Frank Enos, noted news commentator, and Robert Tavernelli, announcer, were giving a detailed account of the battle instead of the game. Enos still made hasty pudding of his words, we thought. for it was difficult to hear him. We left the stadium just as the people invaded the press box. What a day! We dined at a quiet little restaurant where the silence was very welcome after the confusion in the ball park. I was eating as placidly as a cow when Miss Chandler surprised my food down my throat by nudging me. Look over there! she whispered. Two girls were standing on the seat of their booth, peering into the next one. When they turned around, I recognized Betty Robbins and Charlotte Adams. They were employed in the establish- ment as singing waitresses, called the Trilling Servers. We being curious, just curious, crossed the room to discover what was so diverting. Be quiet, the waitresses whispered. Who are those two men? asked the irrepressible Agnes. Lewis Morton, noted explorer, and Melquesideque Perry, world-famous violinist. We're taking candid shots of them. They rarely give interviews, temperament, you know-but we are going to ask for one just the same. After some coaxing Morton gave an exciting account of his many adventures, while Perry was very agreeable and allowed the girls to take many pictures of him while he made comical faces. His specialty was the lemon maltese type, but he also demonstrated the method of making one eye watch the other when the first was suspicious of what the other could see. As we left, Mary Souza, librarian, and Dorothy M. Peterson, social worker, entered the room, and, seeing the crowd around Morton and Perry, immediately went over to secure their autographs. A telegram forwarded from New York was brought to us by Pearl Owens, owner of the restaurant and the sponsor of the Trilling Servers. We were in- formed that John Brewer and Richard Vaughan had left to explore the Valley of the Giants, where they were certain that life would be more pleasant. Our last stop was at Chicago, where we visited the variety store of Gerald Albertini and Harold Corvini. In one of the show windows, Beatrice West and Eugenia Izzo were demonstrating a sure-fire exercise to reduce excess weight! In the group of women I saw Charlotte Mcllvana, watching with sober face and uninterested eye. She was in the wrong department, or at least she should have been. Leaving the store, we crossed the street and entered the theatre. Dorris Bliss and Frances Ryan were appearing in the cast, and we thought that a good play might prove enjoyable! The play was entitled, IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, LEAVE. We left. The return trip was made in great haste. Once again in New York, we all agreed that our experiment had been interesting enough but had hardly pro- vided the material of which books are made. Therefore, I changed my plans altogether. The following article appeared in the New York Times , on July 9, 1952: Novelist changes plans! Leaves to- day for home town-Plymouth. Massachusetts. Intends to write a book on ancient Pilgrim Life . . .

NQ f Mfp' Y viva' L in . , LA Ili, IN TRIBUTE DURING the past four years the Na- tional Society Daughters of the American Revolution has sponsored a Good Citizenship Pilgrimage among the students of the senior classes in public high schools throughout the country. When the Class of 1940 of Plymouth High School chose its best citizen, it voted for the girl who possessed these four qual- ities of character to an outstanding de- gree: dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. For the past three years Lois Chand- ler has served her class and school in many ways. As a sophomore she was prominent in sports, playing basketball, badminton, and baseball. While a jun- ior, she was a member of the Junior Press Club and was appointed to the staff of the school annual. She was also one of the most active entertainers in the P. H. S.-Capades. Lois was elected to the Massasoit Chapter of the National Honor Society, and served on the com- mittee for the Junior Promenade. Now, as a senior, she has risen to the position of Senior Features Editor on THE PIL- GRIM. She played a fine comedy role in the school play, and served on the Senior Dance Committee and the Senior Pic- tures Committee. In June she will graduate with high scholastic honors. Lois is active in the community, for she is a junior member of the Plymouth M'oman's Club and Secretary of the Jun- ior Alliance of the Unitarian Church. Her dependability and efficiency make her a welcome worker in any group, and her good sense and good humor have won her many friends. The Class of 1940 is proud of its best girl citizen.

B, i i..s.iu.ia CHANG THE news circulating through the neighborhood that Chang's death had been caused by an automobile would have made him indignant. For the bet- ter part of seven years he had dashed across busy thoroughfares, expertly weaving his way among the cars with never an accident. His death resulted from poisoning, and the end was quick and painless. He had led a carefree life, the pedi- greed pet of an adoring household. Ever since the first day he had been intro- duced into the family, just a soft muff of fur with large, brown eyes and every bit as wide as he was long, he had been loved by the family and neighborhood. Harsh words elicited by the sight of muddy prints on the clean spread or the necessity of a few sharp blows with the leash when a piece of meat was mysteri- ously missing brought remorse to the heart of the punisher as acutely as it did to the culprit. Everybody knew Chang, for he was no ordinary Chow dog. He possessed neither an uncertain temper, nor the will to fight for which this breed is known. He was patient to the extent of allowing little children to pull his Ucurlycue tail , and he made many pennies for his little mis- tress by obligingly opening his mouth to show the astonished youngsters his dark blue tongue and gumS. He even permitted the prodding of the fingers of the unbelievers who wanted to make sure he hadn't been eating blueberry pie or drinking ink. He was so happy that, in spite of be- ing handicapped by dumbness. he trans- mitted some of his joy to us, and the sight of the wagging tail and little bronze body surging with vitality always brought a smile to our lips no matter how great our troubles. Chang was possessed, naturally e-nough, with a dislike for felines, but he would bear the sly tricks of Turkey. the family cat, with patient amusement, only administering a light cuff with his shaggy paw when the cat became too lively. Everybody misses Chang, and. al- though other pets have come and gone, none can ever quite take the place he holds in our hearts. Domus BLISS '40 THE THIN MAN AS long as the school band played mil- ' ' itary marches, John Thomas listened attentivelyg but as soon as a speaker began extolling the achievements of the School Board, other thoughts began to creep into his mind, and his eyes strayed from the stage, over housetops, and past the water tower. Johnnie was thinking about fathers, all boys' fathers in gen- eral, and his own beloved father in particular-yes, about his own dear father, Harold Thomas, the kind, under- standing fifth-grade teacher, the upright, loyal citizen, and the gentle, loving parent. What a pity, though, that he should have been so very weak, so very delicate in constitution! Why couldn't God make all fathers big and strong with muscles like steel? Why had He chosen to make his father a frail man with thin, weak arms? A shudder swept over the boy. Per- haps something the speaker had said had penetrated his attention and made him again remember the awful horror of that day, some three years before, when the old school building had quaked on its foundation and had almost exploded in his face. The classroom floor was quiv- ering again! The walls were crashing all about him! The girls and boys were screaming in terror! His leg actually hurt, too, just as it had that day when a timber from the ceiling had snapped the bone just below his knee! Now, more vividly than when it happened, his mind's eye saw his father, straining frantically with what little strength there was in his thin arms, trying des- perately to pull shut the fire door that would keep the flames in the adjacent room from entering the fifth-grade classroom. By closing the door, Harold Thomas hoped to give his trapped pupils a stronger chance of being rescued. However, he lacked the strength to pull the door shut and became frantic in his 30 THE PILGRIM efforts as the flames began to leap through the doorway. Johnnie had begun to cry, not because of fear, nor because of the pain that throbbed in his leg, but because of his father's frailty. Tom's Dad could have pulled that door shut, Dick's father could have done it with one hand. Something the speaker was saying brought Johnnie back to the present. Today the proud citizenry of Lansing, Michigan, was dedicating the new fire- proof school building. The stage was crowded with fathers, school board offic- ials, and honored guests, including the mayor, Mr. Jones, who was now saying: The late Harold Thomas was a frail man, but he possessed a courage which is a far greater possession than physical strength. With all the power in him, he pulled and tugged to close that tire door, but his strength was not enough. Thirty of his pupils, including his own son, were doomed to a terrible death if he didnlt succeed. Well, those children are alive today, living evidence of how courageous, yes, how heroic a man Harold Thomas was. When he discov- ered he could not pull the door shut, he bravely stepped into the adjacent room, and, unmindful of the flames, got behind the door and pushed it shut. John and his mother, who were sitting among the honored guests on the stage, lowered their heads to hide their tears, tears of sorrow and loneliness, but of pride, too. Sweet was their memory of the beloved husband and father, whose name was engraved on the face of the new Harold Thomas School. JOHN NUTTERVILLE '42 IF I WERE KING Four and twenty blaclcbirds Baked in a pie - When the pie was opened, The birds began to sing, Wasn't that a dainty dish To set before a King? In nursery rhyme days this blackbird pie was evidently considered a dish which was fit for a King. Times have changed and, if I were King, I should not want my chef to serve me a blackbird pie. A good meat pie with a filling of beef, potatoes, and carrots, the whole covered with a thick, flaky crust baked until brown, would be much more to my taste. On state occasions, when I invited my ministers to dine, I should regale them with thick slices of ham, baked in Southern style, surrounded with candied sweet and white potatoes. For my very special friends I would order a Porter- house steak, French fried potatoes, asparagus, olives, and sweet gherkins. N o baked, steamed or boiled puddings either hot or cold, no gelatine or jello would ever be served in my palace. My guests would have a choice of lemon pie, with three-inch thick meringue, or hot apple pie topped with two scoops of vanilla ice cream. If my servants ate these meals, they would need exercise and would get plenty putting away my shoes since I usually have three or four pairs strewn over my fioor. Also the bending exer- cises they would get picking up the papers littering the floor within a rad- ius of two feet from my wastebasket where I have thrown-and missed, would be very beneficial. A royal jeweler would be kept busy taking care of my clocks and watches as I am continually breaking the clocks and losing the watches. Which birthday are you celebrating? This is a question my family asks each year. My birthday is in June, but when I was very small, it was decided to have my birthday celebrated on February 14th, as my brother's was February 9th, and my sister's February 18th. For years I have had two sets of birthday presents, but the system isn't working so well as it used to. Being king would have its advan- tages. Sinces the King can do no wrong, I could have my birthday celebrated in proper style-as often within the year as I saw Ht. RONALD SMITH '40 YOUTH AND THE FUTURE IN recent years there has been an in- creased desire for a higher education by many graduates of our secondary schools. Special training for their own special job is what youth is seeking. Not all, but most of them, have some- thing definite in mind, a goal that they have set for themselves. They face the future with an earnestness that is some- times amazing. We wonder at this. Surely the jobless who walk the streets are no inspiration. Then again we wonder where all the jobs are to come from if those looking for work are to get one. THE PILGRIM 31 But there is at least one comforting thought, for we realize there is a greater variety of jobs than there was once, jobs that call for skill with hands as well as with brains. In fact, if we investigate, we are surprised how many new fields are today open to energetic youth. Civil service, farming, dairying, aviation, mechanics and engineering, social and health service offer a variety of oppor- tunities. And youth looks to a field that requires training because of this, and also because of good salaries which usually reward the workers. Even poor finances are not such a handicap. There are many approved trade schools that offer courses at a reasonable cost. Night courses are especially helpful to those who are obliged to work by day to gain an educa- tion. All this calls for work, and plenty of it, on the part of the student, but, as a rule, young people who are interested in a particular line are willing to work. They have a definite aim in life and look hopefully into the future. HARLEY MITCHELL '40 A TRUE SPORTSMAN IN one of the editions of The Saturday Evening Post we saw a very striking picture of a hunter paddling down a peaceful river in the heart of the Maine Woods. lt was sundown and he was returning to his camp from a day spent in the peaceful solitude of the woods. A man we know quite well, the owner of a grocery store, is a gunner in his spare time. He is a fairly stout man of about fifty years of age. This friend spends all his spare time in raising hunt- ing dogs and in enjoying his camp on the beach. He also raises many varieties of ducks for the camp. When the duck sea- son approaches, he takes his dogs, birds. guns, food supply, and other equipment to his camp on the beach and spends the whole season there. His interest in his camp has made it one of the most popular in this vicinity, for it offers all the things dear to a man who enjoys the out-of-doors. If we were to stroll past his camp in the evening, we should find him sitting in his old rocking chair in front of the stove, his dogs sleeping at his feet, and he would be reading the latest sporting magazine. Qr if we were to stroll past the camp in early morning, We should find him sit- ting behind his blind waiting for the approach of ducks on the wing. lf he didn't see one duck for four days, he would be satisfied with the simple ex- pectation of a better day tomorrow. He is never disgruntled at failure. The sun sets once more as he returns to the old rocking chair in his snug cabin, at peace with the world and with God. He is our idea of a really true sportsman. MARTIN MCAULEY '41 ACTIVE OR PASSIVE? WHO can truthfully say that clubs and activities are not an essential part of the school curriculum? We rather think that none of us could, provided we gave the question intelligent, careful thought, for without doubt our future social life depends a great deal upon the acquaint- ances and associations we make during our youth. This being the case, many of our school clubs should have much larger memberships, and more of us should be interested in extra-curricular activities. The fact is that some of us, too many of us, in fact, are inactive, passive, uninterested in fields outside the ordinary courses of study. Of course, the pupil who finds his ordinary work difficult and has no time for other interests may be an exception. lf he finds his work arduous, he should persevere until he masters it, avoiding too many activities which would divert his attention. The majority of pupils, however, have enough spare time but prefer not to spend it in an organized manner. These are the students who should join study groups. For those who enjoy nature and wood- craft there is the 4-H Club, for the scien- tifically or mechanically-minded, the Radio or Aviation Clubs, for the musi- cally inclined, glee clubs, orchestra, and band, for the physically active, football and basketball, and for all there are various periodic activities sponsored by the school itself. Although this extra-curricular work could have a slightly detrimental effect upon the marks of the pupil, its divi- dends in fun and experience far out- weigh the injuries it might inflict. Mem- bers of clubs have opportunities to show their skills, to meet and make new friends, to develop their natural abilities into useful and possibly profitable pas- times, and to gain self-confidence and poise when in public. WALTER CoRRow '41 32 THE PILGRIM In The Ciroyvgs Nest THE moment the whole business started I thought I had better put it down just as it occurred although, at the mo- ment, I feel that these words will never be read by anyone who matters. I would first like to state that I am Ralph Harold Benton, aged seventeen, and that I am an apprentice aboard the cargo steamer Island Queen. If sometimes this account breaks off at unexpected places, it is because I have to keep a constant look-out for trouble below and for any vessel that might ap- pear on the horizon. However, at the moment everything seems quiet and I'm not uncomfort- a b l e i n t h e crow's nest. Nothing at all out of the ordi- nary has hap- pened for sev- eral weeks. We called at various ports, discharg- i n g c a r g o a t some and load- ing at others. The skipper, Captain William Haslett, proved to be a regular fellow and was very kind to me. The other offi- cers weren't par- ticularly pleas- ant, but I guess that was because they were worried. You see, the crew was pretty tough and needed careful handling, especially one giant of a man named Joe Jackson who looked like an ex-boxer. Anyway. I didn't do too badly, and it would have been a grand trip but for the fourth officer, Bronson. He was dead set against me. It must have been about twelve hours ago that Bronson ordered me to the crow's nest. I protested that Captain Haslett didn't want me in the nest, but it was useless, so up I had to go. It wasnlt bad at all and I was quite enjoying it, particularly as the sea was calm, when I happened to look down and very nearly swallowed the gum I was chewing. It was about three in the afternoon, and most of the crew were in their quar- ters. As I looked towards the fo'c'sle, I saw Joe Jackson and a huge man called Mad Harry dodge behind some water casks as they made their way towards the bridge. They both carried revolvers and I knew at once that it was a case of mu- tiny! My first impulse was to yell, but there was nothing to be gained by that, and it was just as well that I didn't. If I had hollered, I'm sure Joe would have shot me. As it was, he halted. bellowed some kind of an order, and instantly men appeared from nowhere. You'd better lie low. Ralph, my lad! I muttered to myself. Then I sighed with relief as I thought of that little Iver Johnson revol- ver I'd smuggled aboard at Pana- ma. With that in , my fist I felt quite capable of halting the mu- tiny myself. Hold on a mo- ment- lt's been an hour since I ask- ed you to hold on. and I've had a pretty lively time. However. I'll tell things in their proper se- quence. The mo- ment Joe barked that order, nine- tenths o f th e crew swarmed on deck. and I heard a shot that shattered the window of the bridge. The skipper was roaring like a bull, and the Hrst officer must have grabbed a revolver because I heard him give Joe three seconds to drop his weapon. The ex-boXer's answer was another shot. and I have an idea that Mr. Marks was hit. I expect it was the best organized mu- tiny at sea in the annals of history. The skipper and the other officers were quickly overpowered and must have been locked below somewhere because I haven't seen or heard of them since. During the night Joe Jackson remem- bered me, and in the light of the full moon I saw him standing forward and heard him bellowing to me to come down. Are you with us? he roared. If so. you can come down and turn in. Whats THE PILGRIM 33 it to be? You'll have your share at the end of the trip. I thought for a second. Then I kept my head down and yelled, I take my orders from Captain Haslett. You know what you can do, don't you? I saw him lift his revolver and take aim, but I fired first. It was a lucky shot. The deck was splintered three feet be- yond where Joe was standing and he vanished like a shadow. After that Mad Harry shouted that he would get me, but I yelled back that I'd shoot the first man that tried. The engines were started again and Joe altered course for Seagull Island, I think. Nothing happened for a while and then Nigger Jim, a tough Trinidad boy, nearly caught me on the jump. It wasn't until he stubbed his toe and grunted that I realized he was climbing up to the nest. I threatened to blow his head off, and he went back. After that I managed to snatch a half- hour of shut-eye, but it didn't do me much good. I was awakened when Joe had his men open fire at me from all over the ship. The bullets dented this steel crow's nest badly, and one nearly came through. Anyway I returned the fire, and finally Joe yelled that he would have me strung up by the thumbs when he laid hands on me. Well, there will be no sleep for me now, and my eyes are aching terribly! Dawn was breaking in the east, a beautiful sight. I wondered where Bron- son was. I bet he was in on this. Funny chap, not like a sailor at all. Probably he'd be the one to handle the business end of this piracy. It was quite light now and, as I kept my eyes skinned, I saw a man crawl out of one of the empty water casks. It was Bronson! I almost yelled a warning to Joe as Bronson crouched down behind a tank, but I'm glad I didn'tg or should I be glad? I don't know yet. Joe Jackson threw up his hands as Bronson stepped out and stuck a gun in his ribs. Alter course! said the fourth officer. 'tThen give orders for the captain to be released. Hurry, now! I've no time to waste. Good boy, Bronson! But just then Mad Harry must have seen from the bridge what was going on, and he took a shot at Bronson. He missed, and Bronson yelled, One more like that and I'll shoot your precious leaderll' The reply stunned me. Shoot away! cried Mad Harry. We've got a new leader and I'm him. Shoot away, Mister Bronson, shoot away. Suddenly Joe jumped sideways and in a second there was a rough scramble on the deck. Poor Bronson, he was no match for a dozen of our crew and soon he was securely tied to a ventilator. Hold on a while. I've spotted smoke on the horizon! Looks like a cruiser! I'm now in my quarters after a fifteen- hour stretch of sleep and the best meal Billy could dish up. When I said I spotted smoke on the horizon, I was not mistaken. Within a few minutes I saw a cruiser about four miles away. She was coming very fast but not towards us. I was afraid that she'd pass to the east of us and I tried hard to think of a way to attract her attention. It came at last. I owned a big watch which had belonged to my grandfather, so I got it out of my jacket pocket, open- ed the back, and did what I could to convert it into a heliograph. At first I felt that I was just wasting time, but suddenly I saw the cruiser change course and an answering signal came from her bridge. Crash! A bullet hit the side of the crow's nest. It was followed by others. Joe had seen what I was up to and roared that he would get me if he had to tear down the mast. Then he had a better idea. I saw him go up to Bron- son and put a revolver up to the fourth's head. Boom! The cruiser must have read my urgent message because she made no joke about firing a shot across our bow. Joe and Harry knew that they were finished so they cut Bronson loose and surrendered him long before the cruiser reached the side of the Island Queen. I'm afraid they had to carry me down from the nest, and, when I awoke, I was amazed to learn that Mr. Bronson had sent me up to the crow's nest on purpose. He had sensed the trouble and thought I would be safer up there. He's a regular fellow even if he is rather on the strict side. I guess that's about all. We're back on our original course, and I'll be glad to see Sydney Harbor again. It's been ex- citing, too exciting. GEORGE CAVICCHI '40 SORE SPOTS IN AMERICAN LIFE HERE are some challenging facts on the Sore Spots of America learned from the study of the Problems of De- mocracy. 34 THE PILGRIM Item No. 1 An unbiased observer, seeking a birds- eye View of the Way in which the great wealth and income of America are divided, would find in 1926, a pre- depression year, the following facts: UZ. of population owned 3392 of wealth 10057 of population owned 642. of wealth Poorest 25f72. owned 3V2'Z1 of wealth in of population received ZW of income 10fZ, of population received 40? of income Poorest 25175 of population received 31592 of income Concentration of wealth in the hands of a few and curtailment of the pur- chasing power of the many result in numerous and complicated problems. Such conditions tend to feed dissatis- faction and breed crime. Results: pov- erty in the midst of plenty. Item No. 2 After six years of the deepest and most baffling economic depression yet known, we find approximately 135 of our man power and 1116 of our popula- tion idle. The United States Department of Commerce estimates that the depression cost business and industry alone S28.000.000,000. In 1936 alone, 2178 strikes occurred. involving nearly a million people. Item No. 3 Hundreds of thousands of people roam the country, homeless and discouraged. many of them desperate. It is a young population, 350i under 45 yearsg 42'i2 under 25 years: and 2002 under 20 years. Some 600i are unattached individuals. and 40275 are in families. 14 2 of family heads are women. Women and girls form 5105 of all persons in itinerant families, but comprise but 2021 of the unattached, and 21521 of all the tran- sients. Item No. 4 During the year 1933 the arrest rec- ords of 241,000 persons were studied. The largest of all the age groups were those of 19 years of age. This youthful group numbered 13,418 individuals, charged with larceny, burglary. robbery. assault, rape, and criminal homicide. Seventeen hundred were 14 years of age or younger, 20578 were under 21, and 3 out of 5 were under 30. These figures are for the entire nation. In New York the percentage of youthful criminals was even greater. At Sing Sing. 50W were under 20 years and 8096 were under 30 years of age. Clarence Darrow said, There is one general cure for crime or the prevention of it. Get rid of poverty. Item No. 5 The per capita consumption of alco- holic beverages is startling. Whereas in 1850 the per capita consumption of alco- holic beverages in this country was 4.03 gallons a year, it rose in 1918 to 22.80 gallons a year. Since the repeal of Prohibition it does not appear to have been reduced. The total result of this and other types of intemperance is diliicult. if not im- possible, to measure. The people of the United States spend almost live billion dollars a year for alcoholic beverages. Item No. 6 The sanctity, and even the contin- uance. of the home, the most basic of all human institutions. is questioned. Peliable statistics show that one out of every six marriages ends in the divorce court. Ten independent studies show that 40.15 of delinquent boys and girls come from broken homes. The Problems of Democracy, an elec- tive half-year course, has opened our eyes to some grim facts about our coun- try and has made us think. ALFRED SITTA '40 OLD IRONSIDES Packards may come and Packards may go. But there'll always be Fords as you prob- ably know- Fords that are old. and Fords that are new. They, still burn up oil and still make you lue. I have an old Ford I never can trust. It's faded in color and groaning with rust: Whether I beat it or tear it apart.

'xr N-.4 L V Q i ,ff 1 U ..,,r iii, 36 THE PILGRIM Worldgs PETE trudged wearily along Rainbow Avenue pushing his empty chair. He had just left a young couple in the Home Furnishings Building. Looking at his watch, he found he had only three- quarters of an hour more to work. Ac- cording to the rules of the Express Com- pany he must keep his chair moving, so he decided to return slowly to the Base by unfrequented lanes. He didn't want any more passengers because tonight he had a date with the redhead who was demonstrating fountain pens in the Communica- tions Building. As he strolled along, he thought of the tips he had received. Two girls who wanted to get into General Mo- tors with the first group had given him fifty cents. The tired business man who had to catch the 3:10 train had given him a .lg In XL? dollar for get- ting him 'to the Long Island Station on time. With the two dollars which the intoxicated man had given him and several quarter 'tips he had done better than usual today. These pleasant thoughts were rudely interrupted by a loud shout of, Hey, boy! He turned around and saw two fat ladies coming toward him. His heart sank. He hoped they only wanted to ask a question, but from the way they limped he feared the worst. However, he stopped and said, Yes, madamf' The fatter one asked, How much do you charge for your chair? A dollar and a half an hourf, he said aloud, while he thought, It's too much, I hope. I hope. I hope! Don't you think that's exorbitant, Mary? she asked. Yes, but our feet are so tired I think Fair Pete we'd better hire him, Emma, the other one answered, no matter what it costs. Where do you want to go? Pete asked. Take us up to the Lagoon of Nations. We haven't seen any of the Foreign buildings yet. They squeezed into the chair and Pete groaned to himself, Whew, I bet they weigh three hundred apiece. I hope I can get rid of them in half an hour. Coming again to Rainbow Avenue, he began his. We are now crossing Rainbow Avenue. The French build- ing is on the left and the Belgian building on the f J J' 4 X right' Glancing 'Z ip -.S .6 I 11' if at his watch. he thought. Fifteen minutes to go. He continued. Straight ahead is the Italian Building. 'tls that a statue of Mussolini on top? asked Emma. Of course it is, answered Mary. Pardon me, ladies, Pete interrupted. but that is supposed to be a statue of the Goddess Roma. In one room of this building are pictures showing the pro- cesses of making cloth from skimmed milk. What will those Italians do next? What do you suppose would happen to a skimmed-milk dress if you were out in a rainstorm? They are demonstrating dresses made from it. VVould you like to go in and see them? urged Pete. No, Mary answered. I don't care much about what those foreigners make. anyways. THE PILGRIM 37 Do you notice how large all these foreign buildings are? I bet they cost plenty. If they can do that, wouldn't you think they could pay some of the money they owe us? demanded Emma. Ten more minutes, thought Pete. I've got to get rid of them in a hurry somehow. The next building is the British Pa- vilion. Perhaps the most interesting thing there is the Crown Jewels exhibit, continued Pete. The real Crown Jewels? Mary in- quired. No, they are replicas but are very valuable, Pete said. Speaking of jewels, Mary, did Helen show you her engagement ring? asked Emma. Yes, I guess every one has, replied Mary. Another failuref' Pete thought. No enthusiasm. There must be something that will interest them. I have it!-fat ladies-food! I'll go around the building to the restaurant. On the Terrace to your left is the famous English tea garden. It is said that they serve wonderful food there and the prices are very reasonable. Aren't you hungry, Emma? All this sightseeing gives me an appetite. Welve seen most of the Fair so let us have our tea. Stop right here, boy. How much do we owe you? Pete made a rapid calculation. One dollar and fifteen cents. Mary fumbled in her pocketbook. 'fl have a dollar--have you fifteen cents, Emma? No, but I have a quarter. We can give him the ten centsf' Emma replied. HI made it! Three minutes to spare. Redhead, here I come! RONALD SMITH '40 DOUBLES It must be fun to be a twin: I wish I'd been born as two- If I but had a stand-in, I know just what we'd do. We'd wear our clothes exactly alike So that no one could tell us apart. To look as like as two spokes of a bike, And that's how the mischief would start. We'd do each other's make-up tests, Exchange when we got in a jam. Trick everyone with our merry jests: We'd be twice the imp that I am. Although I think that twins are fun, To you it's plain to see It's lucky there is only one, Not two of impish me. HELEN HAMILTON '40 ON THE TRAIL OF THE LOST ACUSHNET NIVE found it, I've found it,', shouted Head. I've found the long lost Acushnet, but shucks! What's the use? I'm lost. Yes, it was Head, the great detective, the persons who could find anything and everything that was lost in the woods. But even in this predicament he was far from defeated, for he had read hundreds of detective books and had bought a magnifying glass from one of the richest men in the world, F. W. Woolworth. Why, even if I am only twelve years old, I'll still show up the rest of the older dicks, he thought. Why, hadn't even Mr. Fairway, the rich Mr. Fairway, come to him after all others had failed to find the Acushnet? And hadn't he found it? Yeh, I found it, but how am I going to get out of here? he wondered as he sat astride the limb of a tall tree. He looked for an opening and could find none. He looked for some landmark but could find none. But chee, he whimpered silently, there must be some way out. It's get- ting dark and I don't want to stay in the woods when it's dark. Well, son, get out of this tree, he whispered to himself, and start walk- ing around until you find your way out. This he did and an hour later he found that he was right back where he had started from, but he remembered the old saying, If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. So off into the dark woods he tramped. 'Tm sc-sceeredf' sobbed the brave de- tective. Then it happened. Something grabbed him about the neck! Let go, let gofl he shouted. He grabbed at the thing which was clutch- ing at him. It was only a vine, Haw, chee,'l he muttered, I knew it all the time. He walked on, then stopped in abject fear. 'KOuch, don't stab me again, please don't. To his humiliation he found him- self in a briar patch. He marched onward determined to find his way out. Suddenly he came upon the water pump, the old water pump on the property of the man he worked for, where daily he got his drinking water. Now he knew his way home. He clutched the valuable Acushnet in his hand and ran madly for Main Street. 38 THE PILGRIM Here he waited for a bus which took him tive miles to his home. The minute he stepped into the house, his mother grabbed him by the collar and demanded an explanation as to where he had been. Well, y-you see, ma, he stuttered, I was walking in the woods and got so tired I lay down. Before I knew it I was asleepf' You're sure you're telling the truth? his mother inquired. Yes, ma, he lied. Well, eat something and hop into bed, his mother said with a sigh. When he got to his room, he un- wrapped the Acushnet from his hand- kerchief which he had tucked snugly into his pocket before entering the house. He walked under the light with it and examined it carefully. It was so per- fectly round and so shiny. Tomorrow he would return it to Mr. Fairway and get his reward. He put it under his pillow, put out the light, and went to sleep. He arose early the next morning, ate his breakfast, then thumbed his way to the Plymouth Country Club. It was not long before Mr. Fairway rolled up in his new 1939 Rolls-Royce. His chauffeur opened the door with a flourish and out stepped a man of about eighty who, when he saw Head, walked toward him. 'fHave you found my Acushnet? he wheezed. Yes, I have, retorted Head. Here it is. It is still in wonderful condition. Thank you very much. Here is your reward, Mr. Fairway answered drop- ping a coin into Head's hand. Oh, thank you, Head murmured. Then, Of all the cheap skates, mum- bled Head as he walked away. Only a thin dime for a practically new golf ball. FREDERICK WIRZBURGER '41 GO RIGHT ON WORKING Ah, yes! the task is hard, 'tis true, But what's the use of sighing? They're soonest with their duties through Who bravely keep on trying. There's no advantage to be found In sorrowing or shirkingg They with success are soonest croWn'd Who just go right on working. i Strive patiently and with a will 4,1 That shall not be defeatedg Keep singing at your task until You see it stand completed. Nor let the clouds of doubt draw near Your sky's glad sunshine rnurkingg Be brave and fill your heart with cheer And just go right on working. HARRIS FRIM '40 WHAT'S YOUR SCORE? WE girls, commonly regarded as the weaker sex, admit we like you boys. When good Mother Nature stimulates the old B. U. in us, we just can't restrain ourselves. However, for very special reasons we like some of you better than others. The qualifications of a smooth and handsome movie idol aren't essential. You can be plump and good-natured, or as thin as the before in an Ovaltine advertisement. Whether you're gangly and awkward, broad and muscular, or slight and limber, it's what is beneath the surface that ticks with us. We do mean you must have personality, but big ears and buck teeth can be its ac- companiment. Mortimer Snerd gets along all right. We require that you be neat, appro- priately dressed and scrubbed, with your hair slick, teeth shiny, and shoes polished. We prefer that you err on the side of conservativeness, for we loathe ties which betray jazzy tastes. We fail to admire grimy nails and sandpapery chins. If you wish a date, you can ask directly without hemming and hawing and hint- ing. What are you doing tonight'?l' puts us on the defensive. Although it's none of your business anyway, whatever you have to suggest may change our minds about our evening schedule. You could make certain your bid is entered early enough for us to get ready in a leisurely fashion, but not so early that we never enjoy the prospect of choosing another. When you do date us, we'd appreciate having the evening planned ahead of time. Our entertainment could vary according to the fluctuations of your budget, because it isn't what you spend. -it's the way that you spend it that is important. If you're broke, you might tell us in order that we won't wonder why you didn't ask us out that night we saved exclusively for you. Being that way about you, an evening at home, a walk, or a picnic would be as enjoyable as the most sophisticated dinner or dance. You don't need to be too shy with us. You won't get hurt or snubbed unless you deserve it. Naturally, you rate zero if you stand us up, confuse your dates and days, or come around only when you know we're at home all alone. In the last case, ninety-nine times out of a hundred we'll be catching up on our beauty treatments. Continued on Page 40 THE PILGRIM Junior Poetry Page SUMMER'S FAREWELL Gold and red on tree and bush, A clear, bright sky of bluej Miss Autumn briskly takes her place. And Summer's reign is through. Sweet Summer gathers round her Her robeis green velvet hue, She steps into the twilight hush- Prepares to say adieu. She softly whispers her farewell, Then she's scarcely gone, when Back again she comes to us, Like a spirit old, reborn. She returns as Indian Summer With seductive lovcliness, We revel in the beauty Of her sweet and last caress. MARTHA LEMIUS WINTER'S ACHES I must away to the pond again To skate in a biting breeze: And all I ask is a hockey stick To strengthen my shaking knees. To glide along on wings of song Is now my heart's desire, But when they see my battered bones, Still trying? friends inquire. Each night I homeward wend my way, My ankles racked with pain- Each afternoon I'm 017 once more To try my luck again. But soon the season will be past, My aches gone with the ice,' And l'll be called by some new urge To once more pay the price. DOROTHY MORTON WINTER'S PRICE The bathing beach is empty now, No seaside life we see: The ducks have gone their southward way, The waves beat angrily. Now the boats have left their moorings, Pulled high upon the shore- The sea gulls' mournful cries resound, Their search of food in store. The sky o'erlooks the barren bay Of graying blocks of ice: The dying sun spreads glories round To challenge Winter's price. MARYLEW HAIRE TREASURE CHESTS Dusty, worn, and put away Are many books of yesterday, Pages torn, covers bent, Tributes to a life well spent. From bookshelves to the reader's hands Are carried tales from many lands, Of peace and war and treasures old, Of mystery and search for gold. And so like books if only we Could throughout life as helpful be. When we are facing sunsets glow, A better life we, too, would know. HELEN W1-IITING DEEP PURPLE The sunset in the western skies Brings pleasure to our wond'ring eyes And all around on garden walls The glory of the purple falls. It bathes the trees in streams of light Foretells the coming of the night,' It slowly streaks across the sky And faintly dims the hills on high. Across the lake, now calm and blue, The purple casts a lovely hue: All actions of the daytime cease, And all the world prepares for peace. JoAN GARDNER 40 THE PILGRIIVI Continued from Page 38 We ask that you show some sense of responsibility. We'd like you to ring the doorbell, and meet our parents properly. We don't want trouble with them so that they will forbid us to go out. If you're delayed, it's only fitting to call us up to explain. You're worth waiting for as long as we understand what it's all about. We hope that your ego doesn't over- power the real you. You, your interests, your other girl friends, and your past sometimes bore us. How about inducing us to talk about ourselves and flattering us for a change? You'll win our hearts at the outset, that is, unless we swoon with amazement. We lap up compliments and we adore flowers. An occasional corsage would render us giddy with enthusiasm and commendation for you. You shouldn't criticize our hats, but might appreciate a new dress, a becoming hair-do, or an enticing perfume. Show-offs, stuffed shirts, and stick-in- the-muds are obviously droons. We no- tice you without your futile and stupid efforts to attract attention. You can't break in on parties you weren't invited to and expect a royal welcome. We wish you wouldn't try us out on the first date. For a while, we should be kept in suspense concerning our effect on you. In the movies, don't hold our hand. We don't believe in leading our private lives in public. Politeness should be a habit, in fact, you could even display a bit of gallantry. We're not helpless, but we do dote on being made to feel as if we were precious. Therefore, woman hater, roughneck, brightie, shy guy, fast one, smoothie, pal, or rough diamond, we'll choose our type and love you for as long as you have what it takes. ' HELEN HAMILTON '40 THE STORY BEHIND IT IN 1934 my uncle, Everett Whiting, died much to my sorrow. In his will he left me a beautiful as well as a valuable stamp collection. In this collection is one stamp which has a very interesting story behind it. My uncle had a shop where he sold everything and bought anything. One day an old lady came to this shop to sell my uncle a very queer dagger of Oriental design. Although my uncle wished to buy the knife, the old lady wanted a great deal of money for it, so he told her that he would think the matter over, and let her know his decis- ion. He later bought the dagger. Of course it was displayed for sale in the little shop window. However, the few who wanted to purchase it were not willing to pay the price, so it finally found its way to my uncle's desk where it was used as a paper cutter. One day in his eagerness to open a letter which he had been waiting for, my uncle dropped the knife to the floor and broke off the handle. Picking it up, and examining it carefully, he discovered the handle to be hollow. In the cavity was a very queer stamp. He immed- iately took both the knife and stamp to a friend who was a philatelist. Much to his surprise he learned that the knife and stamp had belonged to a Chinese emperor who had received the stamp on a very important message. through which the emperor had acquired much- needed land for his people. The emperor regarded the stamp as a good luck omen and had it placed in a golden box with a glass lid so that his people might see and worship it. On his death bed, the emperor's last request was that the stamp be sent to his daughter many miles away. The stamp was placed in the handle of a dagger and was given to a secret mes- senger who was to deliver it. From this point the history of the knife is not known. How it got to the United States and how it fell into the possession of the old woman, are questions that may never be answered. But I do know that my father has both knife and stamp put safely away. BRADFORD SMITH '40 NOSIREE, BOYS WELL, the war is beginning to affect us. In regard to propaganda. we mean. If we believed all we see and hear, we'd have to conclude that the years between 1914 and 1929 were the Golden Age. During those years there was a war and the aftermath of war. Be- cause of our age we missed the emotional experiences which war brings. No doubt they'd like to have us enjoy all these lovely experiences which they, who, of course, were more fortunate than we, were privileged to live through. For one or two reasons, however, we cannot get excited. In the first place, we don't care whether we missed those days Continued on Page 46 y THE PILGRIM 41 - V f LM-, 7 1 ,f-f -.--4 ' r ,. ' iq .

The stars that twinkled far away Brought memories of departed day. And the coolness of that sparkling night Soon eased my pain and calmed my fright. So when I turned again to see The worries that had troubled me.

Quickly plucked- Harshly struck- The lute may play a ghastly tune. Songs of war- Songs of death- ROADS OF LIFE At the crossroad of Life I am standing Where many paths beckon to me, They draw me to worlds of adventure, To worlds that I never may see. This road may lead me to freedom, This road may lead me to jailg And this may take my footsteps down The road of those who fail. Another may lead to glory That later spells defeat: Or I'll struggle down a tiresome road With slow and wearied feet. One road leads up to a mountain Where sins and wrongs are confessed: It goes to the peak of Contentment, 'Tis the pathway that leads to Success. CONNIE MURRAY MY WISH In winter when the ground is white The world is a majestic sight, The sun's rays gleam on crystal snow, The silvery trees are all aglow. The woodpile is a monster drift, And fluffy snow is Nature's gift- While colder still the crisp air blows, And deeper still the snowdrift grows. The roadway's blocked, the stonewall lost, All windows shine with sparkling frost- O charming season of the year, I wish that you were always here! DORIS ROGAN NIGHT The night-a sea of darkness Filled with a million glittering beacons And ships that drift to unknown ports.

ANGUAGES. X CE QUE NGUS NOUS SOUVENONS Mademoiselle Carey nous a quittes pour cnseigner dans une autre ecole, un mcillcur poste. ce qulelle merite. Pour- tant, elle nous a laisse des memoires dc sa vive personalite et de son esprit ad- mirable. Parce qu'elle comprenait ses eleves ct realisait qu'ils ne pouvaient pas finir leurs lecons de temps en temps. elle a cccepte leurs excuses. Pendant trois ans, longs et heureux, nous avons eu une vie de joie avec Mlle. Carey, notre petite professeur de fran- cais. Tout le monde qui lla vraiment connue, aimait et admirait beaucoup cette petite figure droite. brillante. et intellectuelle. Quand elle avait tort, elle l'admittait toujours. Elle a reconnu qu'elle avait une humeur fougueuse, mais elle avait appris a la conquerir de bonne heure. A cause de cela, quand elle s'est fachee, ce qui n'a pas eu lieu souvent, ce n'etait que pour une bonne raison. Elle etait franche avec ses etudiants et elle leur 'disait leurs fautes. Parce qu'elle s'exprimait avec bienveillance. ils ne le ressentaient pas, mais ont ap- precie ses Conseils et les ont suivis. fl L- Bien qu'elle aimat a argumenter, elle n'etait pas desagreable. Elle croyait que Vargument tient l'opinion de tout le monde alerte et vivante. Comme directrice de la National Societe d'Honneur, elle etait un parfait modele de tous les ideals de la Societe. Elle a fait beaucoup pour employer les 6tandards de cette organization vers Pamelioration de cette ecole. La vie montrait l'ideal eleve auquel elle tenait. Elle etait religieuse, bienfaisante, sans prejuges. et d'un caractere estimable. Elle etait pleine d'ambition. Chaque tache qu'elle s'est mise a faire elle a accomplie. Le travail lui etait une joie et elle travaillait avec enthousiasme. Elle assistait a toutes les activites de l'ecole qu'elle pouvait. Son originalite etait prouvee par les assemblees qu'elle a dirigees. Ses classes etaient toujours interes- santes. Elle permettait a ses eleves de s'exprimer franchement. Elle offrait ses propres experiences pour les exemples et pour animer la discussion. Nous l'aimions tous et nous la respec- tions. Son depart a fait un vide que personne ne peut remplir. Cependant. nous nous souviendrons d'elle et de tout ce qu'elle a fait pour nous. Cette petite personne, spirituelle et active, a ete un guide aux etudiants. Nous sentons que notre ecole a ere une place plus heureuse a cause d'elle. A BON CHAT, BON RAT Dans ma ville natale. il y a deux gar- cons du meme age, dont les peres posse- dent un magasin ensemble.

February 12, 1940 Dear Pen Pal, I was pleasantly surprised to receive your informative letter. Despite the great distance between us, our students and activities are evidently similar. Last September 6 I renewed old friend- ships and was introduced to new pupils. I must admit it was satsifying to be in- habited again after the long summer vacation. The first project, which I undertook in conjunction with the Junior High School, was the sponsoring of the Pulitzer prize play, Craig's Wife, presented by the Priscilla Beach Theatre Guild. On the evenings of September 28 and 29 my auditorium was filled by an appreciative audience. Mr. Hammett of the C. G. Conn Company gave a demonstration of mu- sical instruments on Octobor 18. His assistant, Mr. Noakes, performed on the vibraphone and the glockenspiel, while some of my own boys played several of the more familiar instruments. I was temporarily ignored on the eve- ning of October 25 while the opera, Hansel and Gretel, was being pre- sented at Memorial Hall. This perform- ance benefited both the Junior High School and me. However, the Senior Dance, held on November 4, compensated for this slight. My unusual decorations so stirred my spirits that I nearly swung along with the jitterbugs in time to the rhythms of Jay Mando's orchestra. Early on the afternoon of November 10, my student body marched to Memo- rial Hall to commemorate Armistice Day. There Mr. Daniel Doherty, formerly the National Commander of the American Legion, delivered a stimulating address. The Plymouth Woman's Club held its Guest Night within my portals on No- vember 15. George Brenton Beal en- tertained with an illustrated lecture, en- titled Through the Back Door of the Circus. Barkers invited the spectators across the corridor to my gymnasium, gaily bedecked with circus posters, where a festive atmosphere was created by vendors with peanuts, popcorn, pink lemonade, and ice cream. Cider and doughnuts were relished at the annual Football Dance on November 18. Lilting melodies were furnished by Giovanetti's orchestra, which is entirely composed of boys in my enrollment. My Thanksgiving assembly was di- rected by Miss Doris Carey, a member of the faculty who has now forsaken me to teach in Lowell. The program con- sisted of selections by the glee clubs, a tableau, and an oration by Harold Scheid. She-I mean he-had even me mysti- fied with his convincing make-up. I re- fer to William F. Conell, a talented mimic, who delivered several mono- logues at an assembly on December 8. On December 15 I viewed a successful dance for the benefit of my band. Louis Giovanetti and the boys played for the nimble swingsters. Christmas was celebrated with a one- act play, It Happened in Bethlehem, which was under the competent direc- tion of Miss Lydia Judd. The ability displayed made me all the more eager to witness the principal venture of the Student Activities Society, which I had learned was to take the form of a school play this year. Arch Crossley, a fine pianist, was pro- cured by Mr. Garland for an assembly on-January 3. He played popular hits as well as classical numbers for the in- struction and diversion of my students. Moreover, he generously offered to write music for a song for me, provided some student composed suitable words in my praise. Professor Samuel H. Cross of Harvard University, who spoke on Power Poli- tics or Peace on January 18, was brought to me through the courtesy of the Plymouth Teachers' Club. Everyone present profited from his erudite address, I am sure. On January 22 the newly-elected mem- 52 THE PILGRIM bers of the Massasoit Chapter of the National Honor Society were initiated. 'Ihis impressive ceremony was super- vised by Miss Doris Carey, the teacher sponsor. Between January 22 and January 25 practically every one of my seniors was shot. No, there was no revolution. The photographer was here to take pictures for my yearbook, THE PILGRIM. Even a night scene of my front entrance was snapped. Throughout the months of January, February, and March adult education lectures were presented under the chair- manship of Mrs. Miriam Raymond, Miss Doris Carey, Mr. John Packard, and Miss Viola Boucher-all of my faculty. The topics related to good English, cur- rent affairs, modern science, and house- hold arts. The first of three concerts by the Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra was conducted by L. Edgar Beauregard on January 28. The Men's Glee Club, under the direction of Charles E. Killmer, lent variety to the program. On February 2 The Mad Hattersf' a comedy written by Kurtz Gordon, was enacted by a number of my pupils. coached by Miss Dorris Moore. The up- roarious laughter of the audience was so infectious that my sides fairly shook with merriment. This was the S. A. S. activity to which I had been looking for- ward. On February 5 John Brewer was de- clared the winner in the Oratorical Con- test, which is sponsored annually by the American Legion. Therefore, he was en- tered as my contestant in the district meet, which was held within my con- fines on February 17. In this competition, John won third place. The Plymouth Woman's Club learned more of the activities of the various schools on the afternoon of February 7. The program was comprised of dramati- zations, musical selections by the Junior High School orchestra and the elemen- tary school glee clubs, and a minuet. Exhibitions of art and handicraft and project work in several studies were on display. Mr. Ernest Johnson, a negro singer of spirituals, classical music, and popular songs, visited me on February 9. He was received with enthusiasm as great as has been accorded him on previous engagements. Shakespeare's Hamlet,' was presented by the James Hendrickson and Claire Bruce company of professional players. The project was sponsored by repre- sentatives of the senior English classes and the library clerks under the direc- tion of Mrs. Miriam Raymond. I am expecting the addition of many new books to my library as a result of this venture. Reverend Lyle McCorison, the Con- gregational minister from Braintree, gave an account, on February 12, of Abraham Lincoln's advance from a rail splitter to the Presidency. His vigorous delivery and his obvious love for his subject held my interest to the end. Willard G. Bertel from the Bentley School of Accounting and Finance ad- vised my pupils, on March 15, to be wise enough to prepare themselves now in order that they may fulfill their ambi- tions. At a Hospital Club entertainment on March 27 the Boys' Glee Club, directed by Miss Beatrice Hunt. sang several se- lections. That was the first opportunity they had had this year to demonstrate their ability to the public. The second in a series of concerts by the Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Mr. L. Edgar Beauregard, took place on March 31. Two very gifted members of my faculty, Miss Beatrice Hunt and Mr. John Pacheco, confirmed my opinion of their talent. The former rendered various vocal numbers. while the latter played compositions for the clarinet. The Count of Monte Cristo avenged his unjust imprisonment before my ap- proving eyes on April 1. On that eve- ning puppeteers presented this famous play, after they had given Hans Brinker in the afternoon. I was especially occupied on April 5. Prizes were awarded to Robert Post, a sophomore, Antone Carbone, a senior, and Patricia Douglass and Benjamin Perry, sophomores, for their posters developing the theme: 'The Best in Motion Pictures. Mrs. Carl Raymond, Mrs. George C. Peterson, and Miss Dor- ris Moore judged the entries in this con- test, which is sponsored annually by the Plymouth Woman's Club. In the eve- ning of the same day joy reigned su- preme in my gymnasium where the Sophomore Hop was held. This atmos- phere of gayety was increased by the music of Louis Giovanetti and his Or- chestra and the cheerful. springlike decorations. At the present time I am looking for- THE PILGRIM 53 ward to several events which will take place before the approaching summer vacation. Then I shall welcome the greatly needed rest and renovation which that season always brings. I hope that our correspondence may continue throughout this summer and for many years to come.

DEAN STEVENS Secretary-Treasurer , MARY CREATI Each year the S. A. S. sponsors a num- ber of interesting assemblies for the stu- dent body. This year they have been in two fields-music and science. The banking system, which was in- stalled by the S. A. S. last year, was con- tinued this year under the supervision of Miss Elizabeth Kelly of the Commercial Department. The purpose is to encour- age a self-directed habit of saving. The sale of the Christmas Seals was very successful under the leadership ot' Mr. Mario Romano. The returns ex- ceeded last year's record. The S. A. S. again assumed the respon- sibility in the appeal for donations to the Jordan Hospital at Thanksgiving time. Miss Viola Boucher of the Household Arts Department supervised this under- taking, and the number of contributions was encouraging as the attractive dis- play in Room l06 showed. A play, The Mad Hatters was spon- sored this year by the S. A. S. to aid the treasurics of some of the major school organizations. Miss Dorris Moore of the English Department coached this three- act comedy, which was given on Febru- ary 2 in the High School Auditorium. lt was a very successful project, both finan- cially and dramatically, and was re- peated on February 28 at Carver for thc beneht ol' the Finnish Relief. -The cheer leaders have been under the supei'i.'ision of Mr. Carlo Guidaboni, and have been active at the majority of the football games his year.

Edwin Bastoni THE PILGRIM 55 BEHIND THE SCENES TO those of you who saw the presenta- tion of The Mad Hattersf' it was little more than a few hours of enter- tainment, but to the cast, it meant the product of four unforgettable. rehearsal- filled weeks. Each day they met, and with untiring good spirit accomplished a lot or a little, as their moods directed. On some days, after a careful compari- son of the Hatters of the stage and of real life, it was hard to decide which were the madder. At eight o'clock on February 2 the curtain was drawn and Gigi Hatter walked upon the stage whistling feebly but with a determined I've-got-to-stop- shaking air. No one, not even Angel, who was standing right beside her, will ever know how she tied her sneakers on her palpitating feet. The play moved on and Bunny entered and gave a smooth performance as amusing to the cast as to the audience. When Pop entered and opened his bewhiskered mouth for his first speech, everyone held his breath and waited for him to say Hello, there! There was a muffled explosion when the line was omitted. Margaret's part was played beautifully the first night, but in Carver-well, that was hardly her fault. It may have been stage fright that made Diana lose her finger-tip control and whisper desperately to Bunny to Hold my hand! The sound effects were perfect. There had always been uncertainty as to whether the noise that preceded lt sounds like an airplane, would be a rattle that sounded like a banging shut- ter or Carter's bass hum-but the elec- tric device purred obediently, much to the relief of the neck-craning Hatters. Those in the wings awaited each crisis with suspense. They knew from experience that Joe Hatter would com- pose some new fish story to try Angel's self-control. As they watched, they saw that one by one the cast grew accustomed to the glare of the footlights and learned to ignore the barely recognizable faces lined up before them, and swing into the spirit of the play. Of course there were some untoward incidents connected with the production of the play, including a blizzard, Carver, and a very flat tire, but most of the time we had a regular Hatter's holiday.

I dont want a niche In just the right place for a girl like me. I don't want power. God. I dont want fame. And beauty is not the jewel I would take. For winning stacks of chips in this great game I do not care. What if I do lose a stake? I pray. perhaps, not often: all the more True strength within my prayer when I do. That I may be true to the core- This is the favor I ask of You- Not released from any pain but made Forever and forever unafraid.

' WHAT GLORY? You may preach of fame and glory. But it is no pleasant story When you're sent to face the enemy under fire: When your comrades shriek and die And the planes swoop down from on high And your regiment is stuck wheel deep in mire. And while you sit and wait, And wait and freeze and wait, Not knowing when those guns will kill you all. You think of those back home Across the mine-filled foam Who sit in dread of gas and air raid call. Now in many years gone by, When a knight had said good-bye. He left his wife and family in good care: But today life little means With planes and death machines To take that life and blast it from the air. For War won't spare a soul. And its carnage fills a hole With lads who should have had a chance in life. And fellow men have shot Without a second thought God's children, leaving want and care and strife. How can this horror last At which Christ must stand aghast Forsaken by the men He taught to love? JOHN BREWER '40 THE PILGRIM 63 Game of Life J. I ., . 1.

This year's team was headed by as fine a football player as ever wore the colors of Plymouth High School. Captain Alfred Babini. Although his tackling and blocking were really things to be reckoned with. the team lost five games. won three. and tied one. Plymouth High opened its season against Hingham. There was a double setback in this game. the absence of Line Coach Mario Romano. who was in the hospital recovering from an operation. and the absence of Harry Frim and Sid- ney Shwom. However. their positions were capably filled by Albert Post and Martin McAuley. Despite a scoreless tie against Hingham. Plymouth looked bet- ter than any opening game squad in thc past few years. On the following Saturday Plymouth High met Abington. losing 6-2. Abing- ton filled the air with passes and scored at the close of the second period with a twenty-yard pass. while Plymoutlrs Score came later in the game. Then the Plymouth High attack clicked to beat Rockland 25-0. The thriller of the afternoon was the screen pass play which left not only the Rock- land team motionless but the fans as well. Late in the game. the ball was snapped back to MacDonald who faded back for about fifteen yards. The Rock- land team charged through and thought they had him cornered. but he merely tossed the ball back to his line of scrim- mage where Benati stood waiting with six of his own men in front of him. He caught the pass. and swept thirty-tive yards down the field for the final touch- down. The next Saturday football relations were established with a new school. Attleboro.

On the following Saturday Captain Babini was back in the line-up and so was Bernardo. The team journeyed to Bridgewater and won 13-0. Stevens and Bernardo making the touchdowns. The light but militant Middleboro team was scheduled to play Plymouth on the next Saturday. and those boys hinted that they had a few surprises in store. but because of unfavorable weather the game was played on the following Monday. Plymouth High emerged on the long end of the 19-7 score. Middleboro opened the game with a score. but then Plymouth went into action. This game was a battle between the opposing fullbacks both weighing one hundred and seventy pounds. Stevens and Harrison. Stevens proved worthy of his position with his hard. line-splitting drives. The next game was the forty-fifth annual classic between 'Whitman High and Plymouth High. The result was that a heavy VVhitman team. beaten almost to the final whistle. put across a touch- down and kicked a winning point to beat Plymouth 'T-6. The lVhitman score came in the third period. after Mac- Donald had run thirty yards for a touch- down in the second period. In the Armistice Day game with lVey- mouth High. Plymouth was a 20-0 vic- tim. A strong wind prevailed that day. and it did not work to the disadvantage of an alert VVeyrnouth High squad which scored all of its three touchdowns in the the seven minutes of play. 'When Plym- outh changed goals. the team met with considerable success although it was unable to reach the XVeymouth goal line until the very last two plays of the game when again the screen pass carried BOYS' BASKETBALL QReading left to right!

The boys should really be commended for their defensive play after the twenty point nightmare. The final game of the season was against another newcomer to the Plym- outh schedule, Barnstable. Plymouth needed just one game to balance the win and lose column, but lost to Barn- stable 6-0. Plymouth was handed many chances to score, but lost the ball on fumbles. As he played his last game for Plymouth, Captain Babini made the fans doubt whether there was another player in the district who could back up a line and center as he did. Three others who had been playing for three years on the team and who also were playing their last game were Tavares, a guard: MacDonald, fullbackg Zaniboni, end, Randall, end, and the 140-pound scrappy guard, Ingenito. Next year's team is to be led by a capable player, Dean Stevens, who starred at halfback on this year's team. Returning with him to the baekfield are Bernardo and Benati. Line starters will be McAuley, r. t., and Post, b. t. More- over, thereiare also many good prospects on the second team who have earned the opportunity to demonstrate what they can do on the team of 1940.

Then of the fifteen games which followed they won six and lost nine. During the season Captain Harold Rogers distin- guished himself by earning the highest scoring average. Plymouth's 1'irst defeat was at the hands of Abington by a mere three points. The following two games were victories over Hingham and Rockland. In the next encounter the Plymouth boys met the best team on the schedule, Braintree, before whom they twice went down to defeat. Later they also lost two games to Weymouth and East Bridge- water and another game to Abington. Their remaining victories were over Bourne, Middleboro, and Hingham. The thriller of the season was played at Plymouth High School gymnasium against East Bridgewater. At the end of the first half Plymouth trailed by a score of '19 to 9, but in the second half tied the score. Then the game ended and an overtime period had to be played. from which East Bridgewater emerged the winner by a 28-26 score. When the season ended, Coach Knowl- ton called practice for his Brockton Tournament squad, which consisted of Captain Harold Rogers, Pederzani, Ran- dall, Garuti, Darseh, Bernardo, Zaniboni, Stevens, MacDonald, and Cingolani. Plvmouth's first opponent was Oliver Ames. The game was a see-saw affair, providing thrills galore to the finish. Plymouth led at the quarter ll to 10, and at the half 19 to 17-but North Easton went out in front at the close of the third period, 27 to 26. In the final quarter Captain Bradley of Oliver Ames Page 65 Page 66 sank a side shot to give his team a three- point lead. The game could have gone the other way, but Plymouth won by a 36-33 score by staging a sensational rally with less than three minutes of the last quarter remaining. In the next game Plymouthis scrappy aggregation, flashing some classy basket- shooting, proved too much for Stough- ton High, when Plymouth defeated the Hockamock League champions by a score of 38-25. Plymouth pressed Stoughton all the way, but played the best ball in the second period when they surged to a ten-point lead and held it throughout the game. This victory put Plymouth High into the semi-finals against Hingham High. The name of Captain Harold Rogers will stand in the Plymouth High record books as one of the school's basketball heroes after his brilliant performance in this game, which turned apparent defeat into a sudden death overtime period. If the game was a glorious victory for Plymouth, it must have been a heart- breaking defeat for the Hingham team. The next game was Abington vs. Plymouth in the South Shore Class A Finals. Here, after a brilliant record throughout the Tournament, Plymouth was nosed out by Abington by a 39 to 38 score. Both teams provided the crowd with thrills galore. Plymouth led at the quarter 9 to 6, trailed at the half 22 to 17, while the count at the end of the third period was a tie. 30 to 30. The rest of the game was a see-saw affair with sensa- tional basket-shooting. Much praise is due to Plymouth after its hot and cold campaign during the regular season, for the squad certainly played a very fine brand of basketball throughout the tournament.

A series of six- teen inter-class games was played with the championship going to the Senior class. who maintained a seven-point lead over the Juniors in their second match. This group joined in a contest with the alumnae, which resulted in a 17-15 score in favor of the school team. Honor Class teams selected from each group entertained Bourne at a Play Day which resulted in victories for the Plym- outh teams, but allowed them an oppor- tunity to admire the spirit and skill of their opponents. Seniors and Juniors joined with Bridgewater in a Color Team Play Day, the tournament style of play proving very popular and the competition so close that only the time element determined the winners. Not only did the girls have opportunities to make new friendships in a Play Day spirit, but they learned to plan for re- freshments. decorations, awards, and olliciating. There is no schedule of inter-school games won and lost, but it is certain that eighty girls had a fair chance to show qualities of cooperation, initiative. good fellowship, and leadership in their basketball program this winter.

TO the many girls interested in field hockey these words will recall the hard-fought games which were played this season. They will remember those exciting times when the score was tied, when they cheered their schoolmates on to victory and to occasional defeat. Any spectator at the games could see that the girls played for the love of the game and with consideration for the dictates of sportsmanship-even though defeat was certain. They simply enjoyed every minute of every game. Plymouth won its first game against Scituate, but the glory of this victory was somewhat clouded because the girls were defeated in the next two games with Middleboro and Scituate. Still Plymouth later tied Middleboro and en- joyed victories over Marshiield, Bourne, and the alumnae. lncidentally, many people attended the alumnae game on Thanksgiving Day when old acquain- tances were renewed. This year, in addition to the usual inter-scholastic games, Mrs. Beatrice Garvin organized inter-class games. There were so many girls who wished to play hockey, eighty-eight to be exact. that eight teams were formed. The Sen- iors had one team, the Juniors, twog the Sophomores, three. The ninth grade girls, who are now able to play hockey. had two teams also. There were several inter-class games, and many girls who would not otherwise have participated enjoyed playing with and against their schoolmates. To the girls of next year's hockey sea- son may the words Team, Fight! sug- gest just what is expected of them when the center forward bullies for the first time in every game.

At one o'clock they rush to the gymnasium in great numbers in order to gain a chance to play first. About half-past two the gymnasium becomes a Hco-educational recreation play center, as the boys drop in to show the girls that they don't know all the tricks. Other spring sports are bowling, shuffleboard, and ping pong, which has just been introduced this year. At the end of the season an award in the form of a statuette will be given to the girl having the highest bowling average. Indications are that Euphemia Gascoyne will become the proud owner. There are also scheduled class bowling contests under these captains: Seniors, Eupheniia Gascoyneg Juniors, Martha Lemius: Sophomores, Isabelle Roberge. There are over sixty girls taking part in tournaments, most of them entering the entire field of badminton singles, badminton doubles, table tennis and sh uflflehoard.
