U WITH D-day approaching and the con sciousness of your debt to the men in our country's service, to all men in Humanityls service, increasing, we must re-examine what we owe in order that we may know how we should repay. For our debt is such that no common coin can ever discharge it. The blood of our sons, the pain of our mothers, the sorrow of our friends, the suffering of children, poured out in floods to save our world, to make for us a better world, can be repaid only in kind, or in the hard, bright coin of Truth. This is no easy debt to be expunged by tendering the hollow counter- feit of lip service. This is no sham sacrifice to be acknowledged in the paper of hypocrisy. When a man dies for freedom, then we must live for freedom, must live that all men may be free. When a mother in the agony of fear seeks to guard her children and dies, we must take her orphans, all suffering mankind, and create for them a home. When the turmoil and the strife are stilled, we must be able to see through the mists of hurt and hate, God's sun of brotherly love. All men are brothers. Now in the awful compulsion of killing, fear blinds us to that. We must kill fear. It is against fear and prejudice and greed and injustice that we fight--and must continue fighting. Men are our enemies only when these passions blind them. When the last echoes of this present conflict are fading into oblivion to which we cannot too soon consign them, we must remember Lincoln's noble words: With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on -- Let us strive on. During the Battle of Britain, Winston Churchill said of the R. A, F. Never have so many owed so much to so few! And we now owe so much to so many! The debt is imme-asurable. The blood and treasure given to us so unstintingly out of such boundless charity calls to us for an equal charity in our hearts. We must not fail. We dare not, else the slaughter comes again. Thomas Carlyle wrote about a century ago these Words: Nothing that was worthy in the past departs, no truth or goodness realized by man ever dies, or can die, but is all here, and, recognized or not, lives and works through endless changes. What doth it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul? EDGAR J. MONGAN Page 5 i0?lf'6LlOAiCOL! me A President WILLIAM MacDONALD Even if Billy had no other claim to fame, We would still remember him for his startlingly vivid ties .... gained experience for present position as Sophomore and Junior Vice President .... was also active on the S.A.S. and Till Victory staif .... played quarterback on the football team .... proud possessor of a black-and-red coupe which carries an amazing number of passengers .... admits a secret dread of submarines and the Weymouth football team .... spends some time in deep research in the Cordage lab, or is it in Washing test tubes, Bill? , . . . aspires to become a Navy fiyer .... partial to a Vought-Corsair. Vice-President RALPH FORTIN I Although his carefree manner and mischievous eyes seem to belie the fact, our Vice President is a man of responsibilities. He has been President of the S.A.S., man- ager of the football team, sales manager of Till Victory , and a 106 a Week collector . . . can be found almost any afternoon laboring industriously at the Cordage Company .... says his pet peeve is our Class Secretary fElide replies amicably that the feeling is mutualj .... will go into the Navy Air Corps soon after graduation . . . ambition? . . . . to win the wings of gold, of course.

ENIS ALMEIDA She's inclined to argu- ment, And manages so well She is quite oblivious To the ringing of the bell. AGNES ALSHEIMER She looks so very healthy One thing we can for- see: When she has an ache or pain, She'll get scant sympa- thy. FLORENCE ALVES Five foot one or two, she says In a yearning, hopeful WHY, As though she still might grow an inch: At that she's right-she may. 8 OVL y 5884 fo AQU8 501448 MVL.

LUCY AMARAL Between this quatrain and the last There may be no rela- tion- But with needle and with thread Sister's a sensation. JULIA ANDREWS Julia! Don't close that locker! Comes the woeful cry of her mate, But Julia calmly turns around: It's always just too late! BEVERLY ARMSTRONG Who crossed the Greek god statue's eyes And filled the desk drawers with snow?

ARLENE BOURNE Five - feet - two, eyes of blue - That's what she'd like to be, But disappointment she may face, For in inches she lacks three. Jw Fi . N..

BERNARD BRABANT His love of the scientific We would never mock: But is it quite the best approach To get a girl to talk?

BARBARA CARMICHAEL She has intinite capacity For taking painsg Catch-as'-catch-can methods She disdains. HELEN CARREIRA If you'd arouse his inter- est, girls, We suggest the means: A coiffure styled by Helen Will succeed beyond your dreams. CLYFTON CHANDLER Books have their place In the scheme of things, But over other pursuits They need not be kings. JOAN CHIARI Strolling through the corridors Or frolicking in the gym, Hot and dishevelled she never appears- But impeccably neat and trim.

The answer we w o ul d End When every minute of the day The Army's on her mind, HELEN GUSTAVSON Her penchant for pranks Cannot be denied- She flatly refuses To be dignified. Page 14 E Mfg ,M ' ,lf ff y 1 ROBERT HAIRE We've never seen you rushing, Nor entertained such thought : Pray, tell us, is the r e nothing In leaps and bounds you've sought? JANET HOLMAN Haste makes waste! You may exclaim, But Janet hurries Just the same. BERNARD HOLMES Quiet as a. churchmouse, Wary as a buck- Until he goes to study hall Where he really runs amuck. CYNTHIA HOLMES What but her voice Could we here mention? When Cynthia sings, We sit at attention. CORINNE JENNEY The piano is her true love, But we knew this be- fore- She's also an efficient clerk At Jenney's Gene ral Store. ,J GEORGE JESSE It must be that he's fickle: We remember well the day When his only love was his violin- And now it's not that way.

ERNESTINE MILLS A lovely miss is passing , by And always with such Winsome smile: How true it is our Er- nestlne Could her choice of swalns begullel Page 16 RICHARD MORIN While others may such tests be taking As will help them win their silver Wings, We tell of him who's this forsaking- To the infantry he staunchly clings. ROY MORSE He's the lad with the nervous feet: The way he cuts a. rug Leaves us no alterna- tive- He's the class jltterbug. BERNADETTE MURPHY When the Latin book's open, She will have lunched: The papers are every- where- The pencil end's crunched.

So peace, which for one blissful hour, May brightly, purely burn, Yet at the next be smothered out, To cold, gray ashes turn. Most dismal do these thoughts seem now As we behold the past, How can we realize sweet hopes, Establish peace at last? . Letis pledge to forbears brave and proud, To youth in lifeis ascent, That Faith, Gocl's Love, and shining Truth May reign omnipotent. RUTH DALE '44 Page 21 rom ow ana! Wear Excerpts from Servicemen I have been places since the last time I wrote. I was in Italy just about long enough to visit Naples a few times, and I also paid a visit to Mt. Vesuvius. England is the best place I have been in so far overseas, mainly because I do not have to sleep on the ground anymore. We live now in comfortable metal barracks, fifteen men to each. We have wooden beds with hay matresses. A small coal stove supplies us with heat. The first one out of bed in the morning lights the stove. Right now I am wondering how long my patience can endure. I am going on a nine-day furlough, and I am waiting for my com- manding ofiicer to sign my furlough pass. I am going to spend most of my time in Scotland. It is the first I have had since I have been in the Army. Pfc. Peter Sa England Well, I made aviation radio school and I am going to start classes Monday. The course sounds difiicultg 20 weeks radio and radar, then 8 weeks ordnance, then 3 months operations. I like it here very much in Jacksonville, and there are several U. S. O.'s here. The regulations here are very strict, but I get along very well. In classes down here, if you close your eyes to yawn, you miss several questions on your test at the end of the week. I would really like to see that student talent assembly in school. I bet it's going to be good. Good luck on your jeep campaign. I hope you reach your goal. Milton Fuller '44 Jacksonville, Florida There is a native village nearby which is very amusing. It has been rumored that some years ago they were savage head- hunters, but now they are quite civilized and even speak some English. They respect the American uniform and sometimes, when they see us, they throw us a high ball tslang for salutel. Their dress is very comical. They wear a cloth around their waist, and the native women wear grass skirts. They have a mass of bushy hair, some have brown, black, and even red hair. A few days ago I ventured into the jungles and mountains. The jungles are so thick that sometimes we cannot see our hands be- fore us. It is more work to beat up the tropical insects than it is to hack the trail through the jungles. It was tough going scaling the treacherous mountains. After spending an entire day out there, my curiosity is gone. The things I missed I will take for granted from now on! Pvt. George Fontaine Somewhere in New Guinea Page 22 Since I arrived in Sicily, I have visited Catania and Palermo. Both cities are similar, but I still Wouldn't trade them for the small- est town in the States. The island is like heaven in comparison to the dry, dusty, and treeless Africa. The roads are paved, not with tar, but With large flat stones which make riding on the whole very comfortable. There is no real shopping center, but instead the stores can be found on almost any street. There are no large stores, but only small shops made from one room of a house. When these shops are closed, a large piece of sheet metal is pulled down over both the Windows and doors. The variety of goods on sale at the stores is small, and the prices are extremely high. I also visited Mt. Etna and have climed to the top of it. Sgt. Frederick Wirtzburger England Amarillo is in the middle of the Texas Panhandle and certainly is barren country. The sands of Amarillo keep a-getting in my pillow, and that's no lie. The wind is terrific, and often We are un- able to see down the street during one of the frequent sand storms. The evenings are beautiful. The air is crisp and clear, and the sky is a maze of twinkling dots laid on dark velvet. If it were only like California during the day! Our classification tests are finished at last, and they were diffi- cult. Much emphasis is placed upon the psychological tests. I made the highest scores possible for navigator or bombardier, but not so high for pilot. I asked to be navigator and sincerely hope I make it. Pvt. Robert Wilson Amarillo, Texas Right now I'm sitting with my feet in Tennessee mud, trying to Hnish this letter before darkness stops my attempts at Contact with the outside World. To discuss the weather in Tennessee would be to Write an essay on the advantages and disadvantages of cloudbursts. This morning my tent mate and I awoke to find ourselves treading water in our pup tent. The entire morning was then spent in a vain attempt to dry out my dampened frame. Never would I have believed it possible for it to rain so much for so long a time. Pvt. Richard Kearsley Fort Jackson, South Carolina This is my last day at Chapel Hill, and I am very glad that it is. Although eleven weeks have passed, it seems like only yester- day that I arrived. The thing that surprised me was the studies! I got through them all with very little trouble. I enjoyed celestial navigation most. That is where the interpolation taught me in high school came into play. Robert Tedeschi Naval Aviation Cadet Pensacola, Florida Page 23 Today I attended church services in our chapel, built entirely of native material except for the cement deck Ciloorl. I've always known of buildings made of grass and bark, but I'd never seen any until I got out here. One mess hall is made entirely of rough lumber and roofed with a white bark that grows here. The chapel is built of the same material, but is roofed with grass. It has a screened opening all the way round. It's about four feet from the floor and reaches to the roof. This provides good light and ventilation. It really is beautiful with a rustic cross on the roof, and the doors open directly below. How is everything in school? lt's almost over now. I'm sure going to miss seeing the graduation exercises. Two months now and it will be a year since I've been over here, but I guess I've still got a lot to go. It sure will be great to see Plymouth again! I ! Pfc. Joseph B. Sylvia CMarine Air Groupj 'Somewhere in the Pacific It's very hot here. Itls the summer season, and we get a sun- burn in fifteen minutes. and a tan in a few days. We work six and a half days a week, and get half a day off. I'm all grease from head to foot. I have to wash my clothes practically every other day. The cars travel on the left hand side of the road here. We get paid in Australian money. At first it was difficult, but now we know how to use it and also how to spend it. Practically every- thing is rationed here including ice. clothes, and shoes,-but meat is unrationed and a steak dinner costs only forty-eight cents. We live in pyramid tents, five men to a tent. The food is very good, and we have free outdoor movies, two P.X.'s, and three Chapels. Pfc. John Youngman Somewhere in Australia Some of the Arabs are lazy, and they are sly businessmen. The first month here they charged small prices for their merchandise, but, when they saw how much we had, they raised their prices sky high. Here the soldiers become shrewd businessmen-or at least try to be. They make the Arabs cut open a melon and, if they think it is good, they ask the price. The G.I.'s try to bring the price down, but the Arabs are stubborn. The G.I.'s price goes up a little, and the Arab's goes down a little. But the G.I. knows that the Arab has to get rid of the melon since it is cut. The G.I. mentions his price again, and the Arab fails to agree. The G.I. simply walks away as if he isn't interested, but not too fast-for he knows that the Arab will call him back. Sometimes it doesn't happen, but most of the time it works-but, even if the G.I. gets the melon, he knows that he has been overcharged. There are several classes of Arabs. I know very little about the upper class. They always look clean and neat. We usually see them in the towns or city during the day, hardly ever at night. Pfc.

A JUNIOR Throughout the years we undergrads To be Seniors long have yearned, While we Watch and wait and study hard, This lesson we have learned: That Seniors have the preference, They rule o'er us supreme, Their word is law, we must obey- They're 'high in our esteem! Yes, Tempus Fugit -they can say, Their years of toll are through- We still have one more year to wait, One more year's work to do: A SENIOR In prewar days we envied them, The seniors, all supreme, And now at last we've reached our goal, Fulfillment of our dream. But when the world became engulfed In hopeless, bitter strife, We soon became aware that We Enjoyed no halcyon life. The underclassmen need not grieve- Their classes still intact- While many senior boys are here In fancy, not in fact. SPEAKS The girls were much too old for usg Aloof, reserved, blaseg That is, until the Draft Board called And took their men away. We'll profit by their precedent When we reach the journey's end.

This honor is awarded to the girl who possess to an outstanding degree the qualities of dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. This year Isabel Brown was selected by her classmates, and this choice was approved by the faculty, as most deserving of the title of Best Girl Citizen. During her sophomore year, Isabel was a committee member for the Sophomore Hop, took an active part in Junior Red Cross activities, and played a leading role in the Gay Nineties Review. As a junior she became a member of the Press Club, represented this organization in the Student Activities Society, and served on the decoration committee for the Junior Promenade. In her senior year she participated in the Christmas Assembly, served as Editor- in-Chief of Till Victory, and wrote the Senior Class Poem. She has been a Glee Club member since the seventh grade, and was active in the Girl Scout organization until last year. For the entire three years of her high school career, Isabel's name has appeared on the Honor Roll for highest honors. A member of the National Honor Society, she naturally became enrolled as a junior member of the Plymouth Woman's Club. g The Class of 1944 is confident that its choice of Best Girl Citizen is a wise one. JOAN ELDRIDGE, '44 Page 30 ime5 owe Czcmge Did you realize that ten years ago, although the Class of '34 graduated. in a year of peace, its members were, for the most part, born .during the first World War and were destined to play a prominent part in the raging conflict now taking place? Of the number now proudly serving their country, perhaps the most prominent is Captain Leroy Schreiber. Ten years ago he was doubtless an uncertain and bashful senior in the Plymouth High School. Now he is a fearless pilot who has already been decorated for his gallant service. We grumble about gas rationing and complain about the fun other high school seniors had when there were no gas restrictions. But, looking back, we see that they, too, had their troubles. For ten years ago money was scarce and jobs were scarcer. Although there were gas and tires available, few pupils could afford a car. Our curriculum is approximately the same as was provided for the Class of 1934, but war conditions have made it necessary to offer six new subjects, which, 'tis hoped, will help to prepare us for both a World at war and a postwar world. Ten years ago a senior boy expected to graduate and go to work, but six of our classmates are already in the armed forces- and many more will be directly after graduation. At this time we should like to pay tribute to the members of our class already in the service: Milton Fuller, Joseph Leandro, Frank Dunlap, Ralph Ghelli, Walter Roberts, and Warren Kourtz. We are justly proud of Ted Collas who left us for service in the armed forces during his junior year. Ten years ago the Senior Class chose for class oflicers Law- rence Bongiovanni, president, William Brewster, vice-president, Florence Armstrong, secretary, and Marion Zandi, treasurer. Now Lawrence Bongiovanni has returned to school as a substitute teacher, and William Brewster is serving his country in China. Florence Armstrong and Marion Zandi have both married. Another prominent member of the Class of '34 was Shirley Dutton, who in that year wrote All Hail to Plymouth High , which still serves as the school song. The sports activities of our class and the Class of '34 were quite similar. While ten years ago the players were transported by bus, we journeyed to all our games by automobile. The Class of '34 had a very successful basketball season, winning all its scheduled games with the exception of two, but suffering defeat in the semi-iinal round of the tournament at Brockton by Abing- ton, who went on to win the tournament and gain permanent pos- session of the Kiwanis trophy. On the other hand, its football team had a most disastrous season winning one, tying another, and losing six games. Under Coaches Bagnall and Smith the school also had an excellent baseball team and a splendid trackn teams Very probably the most prominent athletes of the time were Babe James, Art Strassel, and Dunham Rogers. ' It has been said that comparisons are odious, but they can be interesting-and illuminating. WILLIAM MACDONALD Page 31 , f 4-in., . 1 :I .. V - V T - Q -.

OCTOBER Ninety-one girls registered for Junior Red Cross work. Some volunteered to knit, others to make surgical dress- ings, while still others joined the regulation Home Nursing course taught by Mrs. Stanley Wood. The members of the Senior Class elected their class officers. At the Columbus Day assembly the school was delighted at an unexpected visit from Sgt. John Pacheco. He accepted Mr. Mongan's invitation to act as guest con- ductor of the band. Every home room was asked to support the National Clothing Crusade for the benefit of the needy inhabitants of our Sfouthern mountain regions and Great Britain. The support given this cause was commendable. NCTVEMBER The English film, Target for Tonight , was brought to the school by the S. A. S. to make us more keenly aware of the work of the R. A. F. Armistice Day was celebrated by an assembly at which Rev. A. R. Hussey recalled his memories of November lil, 1918. Lt. John Packard, a former faculty member, visited the school this afternoon on his way to Quonset Point, R. I.

Tonight many interested parents came to confer with the teachers about beloved offspring. This was the Wed. 17 Tue. 23 Tue, 23 Thu. 2 Fri. 10 Mon. 13 Thu. 23 Thu. 23 Wed. 29 Mon. 3 Mon. 10 traditional Parents' Night intended to promote closer cooperation between. parent and teacher. The S. A. S. presented its first .Pitt Parker Assembly, in which a clever cartoonist presented current events pic- torially with interesting and amusing comments on each. Rededication of Ourselves to the Pilgrim Ideals was the topic upon which Mr. Paul Bittinger spoke in the Thanksgiving Day assembly. His speech was preceded by a solo by Cynthia Holmes and the Governor's Proc- lamation read by William MacDonald. To promote the sale of war stamps the S.A. S. planned the dance .held tonight with attractive silhouettes of planes and Jeeps as decorations. DECEMBER Mliss Marian Park, former president of Bryn Mawr College? spoke to the student body about its responsibility in solving post-war problems. Miss Park also told of her experiences in Germany at the time of World War I. The boys' basketball team journeyed to Duxbury for its first game of the season. Two hundred and sixty Junior and Senior English books were sent to the Methodist Home Missions Institution for Mexican boys and girls. Money for this purpose was donated by The Pilgrim . This morning the Spirit of Christmas in 1943 was pre- sented in five scenes by the members of the French classes under the supervision of Miss Jeanette Jacques. Mrs. Brown's art classes assisted with the stage properties. Tonight the members of the football squad at its annual dance asked Coach Louis Rudolph to announce that Richard Morini and Roy Randall had been elected co- captains of next year's squad. Many couples enjoyed the colorful Holiday Dance held at the Winslow House. All the arrangements were made by the Junior Red Cross Surgical Dressings Group. The music was furnished by Carlo David's Orchestra, and the mothers prepared simple refreshments. JANUARY The Students returned to school with many fine resolu- tions for the coming year. Mrs. Eigueiredds boys' cooking class packed boxes for four of the seniors who have entered the service, and two more were sent to alumni who are hospitalized in this country after having seen foreign service.

FEBRUARY Mr. Mongan in an assembly named the Best Girl Citizen in the opinion of the senior class and faculty, The award was given to Isabel Brown, who later attended a dinner in. Boston given by the Daughters of the American Rev- olution for the girls selected from the entire state. As its money-making project of the year the S. A. S. arranged a Valentine Dance for this evening, but the enterprise was not successful financially because of a severe snowstorm. Gathered in the auditorium this morning pupils were fortunate enough to see the film Emperor Jones , ob- tained for the school by Mrs. Alice Urann and paid for by the S. A. S. At an assembly celebrating the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington Supt. Burr F. Jones ad- dressed the school on The Four Crisesn. During this period Cynthia Holmes, Jeannette Goddard, Richard Drew, and George Avery appeared before the student body for the first time as a quartet. After one day of classes following vacation, the S.A.S1. arranged for the school to go en masse to a special showing of the Watch on the Rhine at the Old Colony Theatre. MARCH This morning those elected to the National Honor Society took the pledge of membership in this group, while old members renewed their allegiance, in a very impressive candlelight service. Mr. Mongan congratulated the mem- bers for their unselfish service to the school, their leader- ship, fine character, and scholastic achievemen.t. Sixteen Seniors, who in three years of High School have maintained an average of eighty-five per cent or better, were named as the members of the Honor Group. It is the responsibility of these pupils to plan the graduation exercises. The Red Cross film, Hand in Hand , was shown to the school to induce pupil participation in the Red Cross War Fund Drive. Cynthia Holmes and Corinne Jenney were appointed by the S. A. S-. to arrange a Talent Assembly, which was Page 37 presented today. So great was the success of this ex- periment that Mr. Mongan promised one more after Vacation. Mon. 20 The senior class enjoyed the Erst of the traditional Get- Togethers tonight despite very stormy Weather. Ann Smith, chairman of the committee responsible for these socials, acted as mistress of ceremonies.

After two weeks of practice under Coaches Ru- dolph and Romano, the boys met a heavy, experienced Abington eleven which, in- cidentally, went on to cap- ture a tie for the Class C Championship. In the first half Plymouth was bewildered, but proved a stubborn opponent in the second, although the game ended in a 19-0 defeat. Next came Rockland - and how! Displaying an amazing, razzle dazzle offense to a lighter than usual, less experienced team than Plymouth has had for some time. Rockland trounced Plymouth 26-6. -The third game was against an undefeated Middleboro eleven which enjoyed one of its best seasons in years. Captain Caramellois forty-yard jaunt for a touchdown after intercepting a Middleboro pass featured Plymouth's triumph in a game in which the aerial offenses of both teams predominated. Plymouth's modified T for- mation, used for the first time this season, proved successful enough to ensure victory. The next game was against Milton Academy, a new opponent from the prep school ranks. Jupe Pluvius brought havoc to Plym- outh's T formation and zip passes over the center of the line. Result: Milton Academy 20. Plymouth 6. The annual classic with a strong and heavy Whitman team climaxed the season. An alert and greatly improved Plymouth football team turned a scoreless contest into a 6-0 victory, when Leno Atti, Plymouth's rugged guard, recovered a Whitman fumble on Whitman's eleven-yard line. With two minutes of play re- maining, Captain Caramello smashed over from the seven-yard line for the only score of the game. At this point Plymouth was dealt a severe blow by Uncle Sam. Joe Leandro, talented end, received his greetings . He is now in the U. S. Marines. With Captain Caramello romping for three touchdowns, one of which was a forty-five yard sprint from Plymouth's tricky T , the schoolboys got back into the victory column in a game with Barnstable. Then in a contest in which statistics proved nothing, Plymouth was outscored but not outplayed. Plymouth made eleven first downs to North Quincy's seven, and outrushed the opponent by some thirty yards. Yet the local team was outscored 34-6. Re- gardless of score, it was an even-Stephen ball game. Just as the North Quincy backs got that vital block on the safety man, Plym- outh's backs, Caramello and Morini, failed to get the support which Page 43 2 Q: L11 H A A fn an H o o Ln F-4 OJ .M S3 L6 FQ S'-I -5 '1 as fe PJ .54 CI G3 3-4 F11 B 45 CQ 3 E L53 'U E B C6 D31 fa ci .CI .2 D?- O :- fs 5-4 CD 521 FE 'Es' 41 E 'cs CI os Di :- O Di 5 O PG -4- 5 O I-4 ki E cd --1 5:1 5 ci L' CD E 93 1-4 CQ O 'U p-4 9 A C6 m bl 2 3 si v-4 U 33 5 CG Q 5 -OJ CD c: S .2 L5 Q O 5 an 5 F4 cv P 'U s-4 L3 Sl' s-4 GJ FQ E 42 o C2 as v-1 5 Q N 'U Q o o cu U2 H Q -4 's-1 E 'U s-4 C3 .Ci o 'FQ D5 vi o C1 0-1 V2 ax -6-7 U2 U2 as P4 o .53 .S Z S1 O 43 rn as E4 s: CG P 2' P. as S'-I o CJ O oi 2 eil Herbert cN M exter FQ CD 5-4 Z3 ,CI -+3 S-1 42 -5 L3 5-4 S-4 cu E'-4 ba S-4 CI GJ M E -IJ S4 O In I-I E: C6 as C5 Q' 43 E O oz O 'Q ti 2 s-I 2 E O as 'U J: -1'-1 H Qu: az G35 O .CI 24 o 'U 5 :J -C o cd O U 3 '31 an P' ,C -4-7 as S3 C! as M Da O 5 cd ID as o Q as s.. 3 cd Q-J --T C1 O D O CD ba s..

Both men were in the open repeatedly only to be tackled by the visitor's safety man. Finally came powerful Weymouth which had already clinched the Class B title. Again, just as happened in the North Quincy game, it was the long runs which tallied against the locals. The Plymouth wing men muffed up many scoring chances when they could not hold the long passes thrown by Randall and Caramello. The closest Plymouth came to scoring was on an end run from the T with Caramello being pushed out of bounds on the Weymouth one- yard line. The Shiretowners then received three successive five- yard penalties and, when the fourth down ran out, Plymouth was on the Weymouth three-yard line. In spite of this disappointment Leno Atti's line work was superb, while Captain Caramello's passing and running menaced Weymouth throughout the game. SCHEDULE AN'D SCORES Opfponents P. H. S.

The Blue and White lost only three out of sixteen games in a schedule against tough, I experienced teams. Much WT of the credit for this suc- cessful season goes to Coach Jeffrey Nunez for his unswerving faith in the team. After scoring two impressive victories over Duxbury and Rocky Point Army Post, Plymouth was bested by a fast-moving Rockland team by a score of 28 to 21 in a very close game. Two more victories over Middleboro and Sagamore Army Post, and Page 45 Plymouth went to Rockland to avenge its previous defeat in one of the best games of the year. For the second time in the season, Plymouth came out on the wrong side of the ledger, beaten 38 to 25 by the strong Coyle of Taunton. Plymouth then endured its third and final defeat at the hands of New Bedford Textile which had been defeated by Plym- outh the week before. In the next game Whitman was over- whelmed by Plymouth by the impressive tally of 62 to 21. When Coyle came to Plymouth and was defeated on February 22 by a red-hot Plymouth team, the crowd went wild. It was a a fast-moving, hard-fought game, close all the way and full of thrills right up until the final whistle. Plymouth had avenged its pre- vious defeat. This game iirmly established Plymouth as a danger- ous opponent in the Brockton Tournament even before the victory over a scrappy Middleboro five. Plymouth High enjoyed an excellent schedule of amateur bas- ketball games. It is a credit to those seniors on the team who will probably never play scholastic basketball again that the season was a success. After the season at a special meeting of the team, Robert McCosh, one of this year's stars, was elected to pilot next year's team to victory. South Shore Tournament A top-notch Plymouth team, one of the strongest in years, was regarded as a final round contender at the very start of the tourney. A bye was drawn in the iirst round, automatically put- ting the Blue and White in the quarter-finals. Here Plymouth was pitted against a strong Oliver Ames team, and a little diffi- culty was encountered in downing the scrappy North Easton five. In the final period, however. the Shiretowners emerged victorious by the close score of 22 to 19. Plymouth encountered Stoughton in the semi-final game. Although in the two previous years Stoughton had smashed Plym- outh's tourney hopes, this year the Blue and White went out on the floor determined to win. Stoughton's advantage in height was quickly overcome, and, although the Rubbermakers gave all they had, Plymouth won 30 to 25. Once again Plymouth reached the final round of the tourna- ment. The largest crowd in tourney history thronged to see the Blue and White clash with Rockland at the Brockton Y. M. C. A. It was perceived early in the game that Plymouth had a slight edge. Slowly building up a lead, Plymouth sailed to victory 36 to 26. For the first time in twelve years the Shiretowners became the South Shore Champions. Coach Jeifrey Nunez received an engraved plaque and the coveted trophy for the school, while silver basketballs were awarded to the players.

It is true that the season did not look too promising because of transportation difficulties, but the girls enjoyed every minute of it. Compared with previous years, a small group reported, but, as time passed, enthusiasm grew and a larger group appeared. The season opened with a thrilling game with Scituate, in which Midge Knight was outstanding with her fine dribbling and passing. The conflict with Marshfield was a hard-fought and tight clash with Anna Pederzani making the only goal for Plymouth. The contest with Middleboro was exciting and most enjoyable because of the good sportsmanship and friendly feelings between the teams. The succeeding games with Hingham and Middleboro were close and attracted many spectators. The challenge with Kingston always arouses interest because of the rivalry of the teams. It proved to be a well-played game, in which Louise Poirier, a sophomore, and Midge Knight distinguished themselves. The seventh game was played against Scituate, who through the years has been one of Plymouth's most difficult opponents. The free-for-all with the football squad was played before an obviously puzzled crowd. It was a rough and bewildering affair, from which the boys emerged triumphant. The season ended with the Alumni game on Thanksgiving Day. Fourteen girls battled against the school team. The members of the hockey team are grateful to Miss Carolyn Parren for her instruction, and appreciate the fine work and fighting spirit of Captain Anna Pederzani.

TODA Y'S SKY The sky is dull and gray today, But only with heavy clouds. It's not from the smoke of battle Hanging like heavy shrouds. The oaks and maples are red today, But just from the touch of frost: It's not from the blood of soldiers In a terrible holocaust. The skies will be clear and blue again, Spring brings rebirth to each tree- And from war will emerge the free- dom That was promised on Calvary. -BERNADETTE MURPHY RHAPSODY IN GRAY The strange, sweet days are here again, The sad, nostalgic days: The songs which tremble on our lips Are half complaint, half praise. Swing, sparrow, on the icy sprays, And sing your blithest tune: Help us across these barren days Into the joys of June. -LILLIAN SHAW A NEW ENGLAND PHILOSOPHY I have learned as a child in New England One certain, infallible thing,' That, loath though she be to sur- render, Winter must tolerate spring. My soul from this lesson takes courage When sorrow prevails on my heart, For Nature has taught me, 'tis certain That bleakness is soon to depart. -ISABEL BROWN FOR THE FUTURE A single hill, a single tree, A single dusty road, The leaves are gone, and winter's on Its way, where Autumn glowed. There is no war, but here before Upon this humble spot Perhaps some gallant army stood In wars that once we fought. It has not come to these, our hills, To these, our people's pride, But war is waged on foreign shores And peaceful countryside. A single man, a single mind, Has sent a world to warg But some day every people Shall live in peace once more. -CYNTHIA HOLMES NEW MO THER'S PRAYER This perfect new-born infant Has felt no joy or care In such a brief eccistencej What can the future bear? I pray this tiny being, Innocent of life's trials, Will face the world's confusion Wreathed not in tears, but smiles. -JOAN ELDRIDGE RESOLUTIONS The new year rolls around againg I take my diary and my pen And I with good intentions soar As I resolve to never more Put O17 the task that must be done, To hurt your feelings just for fun, Nor in a million little ways To lose the hours of precious days. And then the phone and his hello, Nothing matters-I must go. My English theme I'll write at eight, My history will have to wait: Resolutions are a bore On the first new day of 44. -BEVERLY ARMSTRONG Page 57 , W H Lil 1-1 U Q fn Ri O Z O I p-1 QD cd '51 U .1-1 5 ES U ce 5-4 me 9 1-4 cd CCI ,Cf P9 I-4 :s .Q E 41 s: C6 IP -JD F-4 CD -Q o Di cf 5 an 111 cu .Q CG ua H .-'Q 2 cu ri Q3 ro an C1 M F151 5 m as Z 5 V2 H E 5 o P5 5 I o x-4 FH Q O ID Q Q O '1 sz 2 CD ID gn?
