Plymouth High School - Pilgrim Yearbook (Plymouth, MA)

Text from Pages 1 - 114 of the 1947 volume:

THE dedication E wish to honor, by the dedication of this book, two members of the faculty who have served this school for a quarter of a cen- tury. Miss Helen C. Johnson and Mrs. Miriam A. Raymond. All students of Plymouth High recognize Miss Johnson as a most conscientious and patient typewriting instructor and faculty sponsor of the Massasoit Chapter of the National Honor Society. Mrs. Raymond is the Dean of Girls. She has taught English for twenty-five years, and a few years ago she introduced a course in psy- chology for seniors. We also wish to pay tribute to Mrs. Raymond for twenty-three years of unsel fish guidance as faculty advisor and founder of the Pilgrim. 2 1946 ' The Pilgrim Staff - 1947 Editor-in-Chief PAULINE ARMSTRONG Senior Literary Editor BARBARA RAYMOND Junior Literary Editor WALTER CORREA Sophomore Literary Editor SUSANNE TAUB Business Manager MARJORIE RUSSELL GEORGE PAULDING JOHN ROY Assistant Business Managers { CAROLYN WILLIAMS HERBERT FINNEGAN THELMA SHWOM Boys ' Sports HAROLD YOUNG Girls ' Sports PAULINE RUFFINI Art Editor CHARLES MATHEWSON Assistant Art Editor BARBARA BARATTA French Editor JOHN AMARAL Assistant French Editor LILLIAN SHARKEY Ch.

His sportsmanship and leadership have made many friends for him and have inspired his classmates to choose him for many offices of honor and responsibility. He was president of the Student Activities Society in his junior year and is now on the executive board. Louie is president of the Massasoit Chapter of the National Honor Society and president of the ten- cents-a-week collectors. He is also active in such sports as basketball and football. He has light wavy hair which any girl would envy, and every so often decides that he will wear a little mustache. DONALD PEDERZINI Ducky ' s popularity and initiative are the reasons why his classmates elected him to the vice-presidency. To look at him is to know that he must have had a long and successful high school career in football; he was a tackle on the squad for two years. He has just finished his second year in the Student Activities Society, and served as general chairman of the Senior Dance last fall. Ducky can be seen late every afternoon en route to the post office behind a stack of Buttner ' s mail. ALICE DUGAN Alice has one of those pleasant personalities which ac counts for her cheerful and charm.ing manner. She takes an active part in all girls ' sports offered by the school — field hockey, basketball, and softball. She has very firm opinions on world affairs and is quite willing to express them. In March, Alice had the honor of winning second prize in the K. of C. essay contest on the topic, The American Way of Life. She is a mem- ber of the glee club and octette. A description of the secretary of the Class of ' 47 would hardly be complete without pointed reference to her dimples. JAMES LAMBORGHINI James Lamborghini, with his five-foot-ten inches of red-haired fun, is our class treasurer. Jimmy has many interests in sports, such as swimming, horseback riding, and volley ball. His weight was in his favor when it came to making tackles for the school football team last fall. He served as candid camera editor of the Pilgrim. Last year he proved his lack of femininity through the role he played in the Theatre Hour. This year he had the very great honor of serving as presi- dent of the Student Activities Society. 7 NO RECORD HERE OF THWQS THEY ' VE DONE; WE ONLY SEEK TO HAVE SOME FUN EMILY ADAMS She ' s kidded about her freck- les, And envied her red hair; But as long as she is dancing, She has not a worldly care.

There, work is a sin, not a virtue. And it ' s not the belief That sleep is a thief. That rest in the daytime will hurt you. There speech in its beauty Has no word like duty. The natives just never know sorrow. Should some job arise They just open their eyes; Oh, just let it go ' til tomorrow. Now these folks are my kind, I have made up my mind — No one must delay my departing: Though today I must wait, I ' m tired and it ' s late — Tomorrow I ' ll surely be starting. BARBARA RAYMOND 21 The Principal Speaks FAITH Nl upon faith — faith in another person, in a group of persons, faith in the future. When a man in Boston buys the product of a man in California, he does so beheving that the article will come up to certain specifications, and the man in California sends that article to Boston, firm in his faith that the buyer will remit payment. The check itself, merely a man ' s signature on a piece of paper, is accepted on faith. The whole trans- action from beginning to end is based upon mutual acceptance of the other man ' s good word. EARLY every human relationship is based If one examines other human contacts and analyzes them he finds that in essence all but a very few are based upon the faith we have in our fellow men, in their good intentions and their good judgment. When faith is broken we find that the failure lies in the field of judgment more often than in motives. Today when the nations of the world regard themselves with so much suspicion and distrust it seems a pity that the ordinary practices of human behavior cannot apply more generally. There is little doubt that if reasonable men the world over were given a chance to come together and discuss and understand the problems which affect them individually and as members of national groups that all their differences could be peaceably composed provided good will be present. If that ingredient is missing, suspicion and distrust will not yield to knowledge, for malice always has distorted knowledge and turned it into prejudice. With a new foreign policy for this country evolving from the welter of national interests now in conflict throughout the world, more than ever it becomes necessary for us to remember how much of the work of the world goes on from day to day simply because men are ready to accept the word of other men. Whatever the deficiencies of faith may at the moment be there are still great reserves of it at work, and the world does go on because of that. Anything we can do to extend and widen faith of men in each other will serve to bolster up the peace of the world. EDGAR J. MONGAN 22 o O !

With good cause to be, For what, O Lord, Can they do with me? To the photographer I send a warning: I ' ll be down to see you At eleven this morning ! ! ! VIRGINIA MAROIS MEMORIES The family ' s moved, the furniture ' s gone. Through curtainless windows the sun peeps at dawn. Dust lies where once the table was placed. With garlands of cobwebs the corners are laced. The melodious tones of the mother ' s song, Which used to sound the whole day long. Are dimly heard if the heart is keen To sen ;e the joy which once has been. One can envision the glowing flame In the fireplace. — Would it all be the same If we went back again to the dear old place? No, for it lacks the familiar face Of him whose memory stays with us yet. But still the old house we ' ll never forget. Locked with its doors are our years past and gone. Till a new tenant comes with another dawn. MARJORIE NICKERSON INTERPRETATION A senior ' s life o ' erflows with fun — That ' s what the underclassmen say. But they don ' t know the work that ' s done Before our graduation day. What motto should we choose this year? We pondered that for days. Till our collective wish was clear: Deliberation pays. Our colors we soon had to choose. What would we match with white? Would the greens or reds or blues Be seen on graduation night? The Pilgrim had its problems, too. With printers, staff, and binders; There was always planning still to do With deadlines as reminders. Photographers took all we earned — There were covers, dues, and rings; With poem and song we were concerned Among the other things. Our program hasn ' t yet been planned For our commencement night. That always makes a big demand — What theme? Who ' ll speak? Who ' ll write? We seniors on the topmost floor Aren ' t really so oppressed; Our pride just fills up every pore; We ' re envied by the rest! PAULINE ARMSTRONG FOR GIRLS ONLY I ' ve contemplated long and hard Why nien will often disregard A girl ' s attempts at beauty fair And just pretend that they don ' t care. Now to a girl it is depressing. When she spends hours in her dressing. To learn her efforts are in vain — Might even drive the girl insane. And thus enveloped with confusion, A girl can draw but one conclusion — That, no matter what they say. Careful dressing doesn ' t pay. EVA PAOLETTI 27 Best Girl Citizen THE NATIONAL SOCIETY of the Daughters of the American Revolution has for the past eleven years requested public schools throughout the country to bestow upon a graduate the title of Best Girl Citizen. This year the Class of 1947 has chosen Pauline Armstrong as the one most outstanding in the following respects: dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. As a member of the Girls ' Glee Club and Ensemble, Pauline parti- cipated in many musical programs. She has been a council representa- tive of the Student Activities Society for two years, a member of the Photography Club, and has assisted on various committees. She was a member of the Library Staff, and has taken part in basketball, softball, and hockey games. As the head of the Junior Press Club, literary editor of the Pilgrim in her Sophomore and Junior years, editor of the Vacuum Cleaner , and, this year, editor-in-chief of the annual, Pauline has displayed her interest and ability in journalism. During her senior year she has been an active junior member of the Plymouth Women ' s Club, and has served as the typist for its monthly Messenger. She was elected in her junior year a member of the National Honor Society, and as a senior became the secretary of this organization and a member of the Honor Group. She was awarded first prize for her essay entitled The American Way of Life, submitted in a contest sponsored by the Knights of Columbus. She has held the position of office assistant for two years, was home-room secretary in her sophomore year, served as usher for Parent ' s Night and the Junior Promenade, and in her junior year was the secretary of the Plymouth Youth Federation. This year Pauline will receive her ten-year numeral from the Girl Scouts. We proudly salute our Best Girl Citizen, Pauline Armstrong.

Laughing; The music of angels in the wind, Singing; Gay pixies rollicking on swaying grasses. Leaping; All this I see, I see. ROLLENE WATERMAN MOONLIGHT SONATA There floats upon the gentle breeze The enchanting strains of a violin; And through the blissful night Each note of the song Seems to come As a separate joy To a lonely one. Trees sway to the slow, dreamy tune, And stars in the sky Seem to hear it, too. As they wink and flirt With the yellow moon. VIRGINIA PATTURELLI MIRROR MOON The moon is but a mirror, A mirror in the sky, And all the stars look into it As they go passing by. They twinkle and they twinkle Until they brightly shine. And then they turn away again And leave the moon behind. CONSTANCE PAUL RAIN Below the valley ' s cold and gray And looks so very far away. The rain has made a screen, you see. Between the houses ' roofs and me. I know the hearth fires burn and glow. To warm the people there below. But I in solitude still sit And watch the rain stop bit by bit. The rainbow soon will shine to say, The world has had its bath today. CLAIRE STRATTON RAIN Face to the window. Nose against the pane, I silently watch The downfall Of the rain . Plopping at the window. Trickling down the drain. It fills my heart With gladness — The gentle, rhythmic rain. RITA ANDERSON TIMBER Through sleet and snow The lumber crew Will bravely hew, Until the rain Win sacrifice The icy bridges To the flow. WEBSTER DYER THE MAGIC PAINTER On the window pane I see Pictures lovely as can be. Painted with an icy brush By some hand of magic touch. Delicate trees of silver lace. Frosty figures full of grace — Fairies dancing in the snow — Icy flowers row on row.

Capers IN THE fall of 1946 the S. A. S. played host to the members of the Associated Bodies of the Student Councils of Southeastern Massa- chusetts. A highly instructive program was planned for the meeting to which more than thirty schools sent representatives. Events started at three o ' clock with the reception and presentation of credentials. The general meeting was held from three-thirty to four- fifteen, with Miss Alice Langford of Fall River as guest speaker. The four schools which had delegates leading the panel discussions were: Abington, Duxbury, Weymouth, and Taunton. The panel discus- sions concerned methods of selecting and electing officers and members of the Student Council activities, the point system for rating service to the school, and methods of stimulating interest in the Student Council. This session concluded at five o ' clock, and dancing was enjoyed in the gymnasium until six o ' clock. During the next hour supper was served in the cafeteria. The meal was prepared by a committee under the able supervision of Miss Helen Doherty. 36 The business meeting was held at seven o ' clock. At this time the constitution of the association was examined, the office of treasurer was discontinued, and Ruth Kessler was elected vice-president of the Council, replacing Frank Chase, formerly of Case High School. The highlight of the evening was the entertainment which consisted of several numbers by the Girls ' Glee Club of Plymouth High, selections sung by the Octette, a skit written especially for the occasion by Mr. Claiborne H. Young, and trumpet solos by David Hogan, accompanied by Joan Thomas. The antics of the end men, Edward Quinlan, Daniel Alves, and Edward Wilson plus the piano accompaniment of Eileen Collari lent much to the entire show, as did the unusual music of the German Band and the lively tap dancing of Mrs. Garvin ' s girls. Edna Salmi, Barbara Arnold, and Pauline Armstrong contributed an element of mystery through their act of magic. The program concluded with the singing of There ' s Something About a Convention with original words by Charles Mathewson. Miss Locklin, faculty supervisor of the Student Activities Society, Miss Ellen Downey, Miss Elizabeth Kelly, and Mr. Arthur Pyle, assisting faculty members, did much to further the success of the entire convention.

Plymouth High ' s 1946 football team was now once again under the coaching reins of Johnny Walker, back from three years of Navy duty in the Pacific. A nucleus of only four veterans greeted Coaches Walker and Mario Romano, and there were many pessimistic thoughts concerning a vic- torious season. SOUTH SHORE JAMBOREE— PLYMOUTH 12 - HANOVER 6 Once again in the annual South Shore Jamboree, Plymouth High drew Hanover as an opponent. Before a crowd of twelve thousand spec- tators, Plymouth High topped Hanover, with Captain Roncarati scoring from the twelve, and Guidetti, a few minutes later, racing fifty yards through his own right tackle for Plymouth ' s second score. PLYMOUTH OVERPOWERS ROCKLAND Plymouth High made its most irftpressive schoolboy football opening in many years at Stephen ' s Field as they outrushed and outplayed a heavier Rockland High team to win, 12 to 0, Rockland had little to show in offensive power, the Plymouth line showing a stubborn defense, issuing only one first down, and that in the last period on a forward pass. Cap- tain Roncarati scored the first touchdown in the first quarter as he raced through his right for sixty-two yards. In the fourth period, after a sus- tained drive from his own forty-six yard line, Ted Young, Plymouth quarterback, raced twenty-two yards behind three-man interference on a left-end sweep for the second score. The previous Saturday, Plymouth walloped a make-shift Alumni team, 31 to 0. 42 PLYMOUTH OUTLASTS BRIDGEWATER— 27 to 14 Plymouth High traveled to Bridgewater for their next game, and in a free scoring game, Plymouth emerged victorious. Bob Costa drew first blood on a twenty-five yard run putting Plymouth ahead, 6 to 0. The next time Plymouth got possession of the ball, Roncarati scored from the six, the score set up by a thirty-two yard gallop by Steve Perry. At the half Plymouth led, 13 to 0. Bridgewater roared back in the next half and scored a touchdown, making the score 13 to 7. Ted Young put Plymouth ahead once more by racing fifty-five yards to pay-dirt making it 20 to 7. Another home team score, making it 20 to 14, scared Plymouth, but an intercepted pass and a forty-five yard runback by Studley, right end, put Plymouth ahead, 27 to 14. MIDDLEBORO UPSETS PLYMOUTH Plymouth ' s string of victories was brought to a close by a surprising Middleboro eleven. The strong Plymouth aggregation started the game in determined fashion with Buddy Roncarati traveling twenty-three yards for the tally. The try for the all-important point failed. But Middleboro gained possession of the ball on the Plymouth twenty yard line, due to a partially blocked kick. By means of a series of line plays Middleboro scored, and then added the point after, making the score 7 to 6. Plymouth outplayed Middleboro the second half but was never able to produce a serious scoring drive. A late Plymouth tally was called back. PLYMOUTH EDGES WHITMAN By a score of 19 to 9, Plymouth High once again entered the win column. Both Shiretown tallies were made by Captain Roncarati, the points after by drop-kicking specialist, Ken Clark. Plymouth scored first, but the score was tied up at the half, 7 to 7. Buddy Roncarati in the fourth quarter put Plymouth ahead on a line plunge. After this, a long Whitman pass brought the ball to the four-yard line. This was made possible when a Plymouth secondary was tripped up by a Whitman dog. But here our line held, and the Whitmanites never threatened again. REVENGE VICTORY OVER ABINGTON Plymouth scored a well-deserved 24 to 7 victory over an inferior Big Green eleven, making fourteen first downs to Abington ' s none. The Plym- outh guards and ends continuously broke through to nail the Abington backs for huge losses. Plymouth led at the half, 12 to 0, on tallies by Perry and Roncarati. Bob Costa and Aldo Morini scored in the second half, and, with the score 24 to 0, Plymouth ' s sec- ond team entered the game. Afbington intercepted a flat pass and, on a fifty yard run, t ' hey scored their first touch- down of the season. Coach John Walker. Captain Robert Roncarati, Faculty Manager Mario Romano. 43 FOOTBALL FRONT ROW: Richard Studley, James Lamborghini, James Raymond, Walter Morton, James Fontaine, Donald Pederzini, Earl Rebello. SECOND ROW: Coach John Walker, Stephen Perry, Robert Roncarati, Harold Young, Robert Costa, Faculty Manager Mario Romano. BARNSTABLE TIES PLYMOUTH In a thrill-packed game, Plymouth and Barnstable played to a 6 to 6 deadlock. The visitors outweighed Plymouth about twenty pounds to a man, but the Shiretowners made this up in speed. Plymouth scored first, with Roncarati tallying from the two. The extra point by dropkick failed. Coming right back, a still unbeaten club, Barnstable scored on a short pass. A rush for the point after failed. Great sportsmanship was shown on both sides, there being only one penalty, and that for the delay of the game. STOUGHTdN TOPPLES PLYMOUTH— 19 to 0 Stoughton High, sparked by the dazzlmg play of Captain Kimtis, completely dominated the Shiretowners. The local eleven threatened only once, then only at the beginning of the second half. It was the unanimous decision of the Plymouth boys that Captain Dan Kimtis was a fine quarterback, one of the best they had met this season. FAIRHAVEN FIELD GOAL NIPS PLYMOUTH— 9 to 6 With less than forty seconds remaining in a thrill-packed game, Fairhaven nipped Plymouth 9 to 6, on a fourteen-yard dropkick before two thousand fans. Fairhaven scored first on a line plunge in the third period, but the score was tied up on a forty-five yard runback of a punt by Ted Young behind good interference. After the next kick-off, a long pass set Fairhaven upon the Plymouth fourteen yard line, where, failing to gain on rushes, the field goal was made. 44 LOCALS LOSE FINAL GAME— 7 to 0 For the first time in the school ' s history, Plymouth played an inter- sectional game, the Farmingtop High School of Unionville, Connecticut, being the opponents. The visitors scored in the second period on a plunge through their own right tackle, but the locals roared right back, only to be stopped near pay-dirt. In the next half neither team produced any serious scoring drive, the game ending 7 to 0. SEASON ' S RECORD Opponent P.H.S.

One week later Coach Jeff Nunez issued a call for all candidates, and practice began for the game with the Alumni. There were high hopes for a successful season, as there were two regulars back, and an abundance of reserve material. Playing before a large home audience at the High School auditorium, Plymouth High basketballers opened their season with an impressive 50 to 36 win over a stubborn Coach Nunez — Captain Burgess Alumni quintet. Peaches McCosh led the schoolboys with 20 points; Captain Dick Burgess followed with 12. Plymouth had high hopes of making two straight wins, but were humbled by a fast, aggressive Attleboro quintet in their next outing, to the tune of 63 to 27. Playing before 1300 in the Boston Arena during Christmas vacation, Plymouth hoopsters hit the victory trail once again, defeating Deering High of Portland, Maine, a school with more than three times as many pupils as Plymouth High School, 33 to 31, in a thrilling, fast game. Earl Rebello paced the victors with 15 points, followed by Captain Burgess with 11. The locals then scored their third win of the season, defeating a game Whitman five 30 to 27, at Whitman; but they received two severe setbacks in their next games, losing to a classy Attleboro quintet once again, and to a potent Coyle High Team. But Plymouth High bounced back and won their next two games, humbling Hingham, 38 to 28, and Rockland, 31 to 23. Before them now stood undefeated Middleboro High, arch rivals of the gridiron. Plymouth High got off to a good start, leading 8 to 6 at the quarter, but was unable to maintain this lead. The high scoring of the rival forwards, Gauthier and Mitchell, hit the strings time and time again in the second half, giving Middleboro a 41 to ' 32 win. The Blue and White next lost to Hingham, but were victorious in their next three outings, win- ning over Whitman, Fair- haven, and Abington. 46 BOYS ' BASKETBALL FRONT ROW: Linwood Ellis, Ralph Guaraldi, Earl Rebello, Richard Burgess, Robert Roncarati, Charles McCosh, Ralph Haverstock Aldo Morini. SECOND ROW: Angus MacLeod, Louis Pederzani, Paul Davidson, Mr. Jeffrey Nunez, George Scotti, Walter Morton, John Roy. The Fairhaven game deserves special mention, for in this game the Shiretowners played their best game of the season, winning 71 to 40. Special credit goes to Plymouth ' s first five— Haverstock, Burgess, McCosh, Rebello, and Guaraldi, who displayed fine teamwork. Also deserving notice was the Abington game. Here, the locals, play- ing without the aid of their captain, who was ill, beat the Strawberry Valley boys for the second time, winning by sheer determination in an overtime contest, 52 to 47. But the Blue and White of Plymouth lost their next two games; Fair- haven gained revenge to the tune of 40 to 33, and undefeated Middleboro whipped them in their final game, 54 to 20. The season thus closed with a record of nine wins and nine losses. SOUTH SHORE TOURNAMENT Paced by Captain Dick Burgess, the locals rolled over defending champs, Barnstable High, in the first round of the annual tournament at the Brockton Y.M.C.A., by the score of 33 to 22. By this win, Plymouth thus qualified for the semi-final round, meeting Middleboro, winner over North Attleboro. The Middleboro five started off in their usual fashion, leading by a safe margin at the quarter. But the Plymouth Quintet in the next half came to life, and with two quick sensational baskets by little Aldo Morini in the final period, came within two points of their undefeated rivals. But Middleboro ' s Mitchell put his team ahead decis- ively enough to win by 34 to 27, although he was treated to a genuine scare by a gallant quintet. 47 Shoot, Sister! THIS year, to the beck- oning of a bouncing basketball, about 20 girls reported for their winter training. It was de- cided that seven teams would play one another. The winner was the team with the most points. The top-scoring girls were then chosen to represent their own classes. On February 26, Bourne came to Plymouth. There were four snappy games with the freshmen, sopho- mores, juniors, and seniors. The freshmen were victor- ious. The sophomores and the juniors lost after a very hard and close game. The seniors were victorious, winning by two points made by Katherine Palches just as the final whistle was blowing. On March fifth, Middleboro came to Plymouth to play the class teams. In this game the freshmen won, 16 to 11, and the sophomores lost, 33 to 15. The juniors lost after a close game, and the seniors tied them, 12 to 12. Again Plymouth clashed with Middleboro in March. This time only the varsity teams played. After continual battling, Middleboro finally emerged the victors. On March nineteenth, Plymouth traveled to Bourne.

Various students spoke on the phases of the work of the UN, and the preamble to its charter was spoken in French, Swedish, German, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese. While many Plymouthians were enjoying a Thanksgiving dinner and all the fixings on November 28th, resonant voices could be heard throughout the town as Social Studies students with verve and enthusiasm extolled the historic significance of the interesting places in town. Three hundred and fifty representatives of the National So- ciety of Social Studies Teachers were guests of Plymouth for the day. Student narrators were stationed at Plymouth Rock, Pilgrim Hall, the Forefathers ' Monument and Burial Hill. Other boys and girls served as ushers and cloak room attendants at the High School, where a turkey dinner was served to the teachers in the afternoon. The Christmas assembly was in the form of a play, Christmas Trim- mings, directed by Mrs. Urann. The Senior Dance was held November 22, in the gym from 8 to 11:30. The Sports Dance was held on Decem- ber 13. Jay Mando played at both of these highly suc- cessful dances. T-he Sophomore Hop was held March 14 in the high school gym with Carlo David ' s Orchestra furnishing the music. An Oratorical Contest was held January 30. The speeches per- tained to the Constitution and its relation to modern life and government. The following pupils participated: Marjorie Nicker- son, Erna Reis, Charles Vandini, Harold Young, and Elaine Wood. Harold Young won first prize. A very successful Sophomore Hop was held in the gym Friday evening, March 14, Carlo David ' s Orchestra furnishing the music. The Junior Prom will be held in May.

All around us we find mythology in art. Pictures and designs which have their origin in a classical myth are often depicted on the covers of books and magazines, book jackets, posters and the like. For instance, Cupid is used on valentines because he was god of love. A wreath, a symbol of supreme achievement, is used for books which win the Pulitzer Prize. For many years, the Horn of Plenty appeared on Harper ' s Magazine. This has always been used as a symbol for abundance and prosperity. n Designs for seals, emblems, and trademarks are often based on ideas from classical myths. One of these is the seal of the United States. The eagle is a symbol of supreme power. This design came from the royal bird of Jupiter, king of the gods. It appears upon one of our paper bills and also upon several of our coins. The eagle is shown grasping the symbols of war and peace — arrows in one claw and the olive branch in the other. Ill Mythology plays a very large part in commercial art. Argus camera comes from the story of Argus, the one hundred-eyed monster that saw everything. The Socony-Vacuum Company has chosen Pegasus, a winged horse, for its trademark. Pegasus is a symbol of power and speed. Socony products supply speed and power to automobiles, airplanes, and ocean liners. The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company uses Mercury ' s foot as its symbol to signify speed. The Universal Atlas Cement Company has Atlas as a symbol of strength. Apollo driving the horses of the sun across the sky to give light to the earth is the trade- mark of the Murphy Varnish Com pany because its product is supposed to shed brilliance. The owl, bird of Athena, was a sign of wisdom and well-being in general. It is the trademark of White Owl Cigars. The brand, Minerva Yarns, comes from Minerva ' s interest in home industries. Vulcanized tires were named from Vulcan, god of fire. IV Mythology occurs even in comic strips . Pluto, the pup, has the name of the ruler of the Lower World. Prince Ajax comes from one of the most valiant of the Greek heroes at Troy. JEAN TUBES 60 CRAZY COUPLETS 1. To many men it was a home, Fair city on the Tiber, L.

JEANNINE ELDREDGE 62 SCIENCE FROM THE PHYSICISTS We walk carefree into 102 every morning at 8:23. It is the first period and we do not have to endure any odors left by the chemistry classes. Here we are initiated into the mysteries of mechanics, electricity, heat, sound, and light. We walk out of the room at 9:08, confused by the many why ' s, how ' s, when ' s and where ' s of this science. Even after the able teaching of both Mr. Young and Mr. Packard, it is still not clear why there is no sound if there is no one to hear it. LOIS ROY FROM THE CHEMISTS During periods three and five in the lower corridor, the chemistry classes infest the air with smells which only we, as eager young chemists, could wish to breathe. It will be noticed in the pictures that the chemists are peering at an assemblage of glass tubes, beakers, and flasks. Rest assured that they are protected to the poiht where they can only poison themselves with chlorine, burn themselves with acid, or blow themselves up with a glass of water and a piece of sodium. EUGENE MONGAN FROM THE BIOLOGISTS We, in the sophomore biology classes, under the direction of Mr. Young, put much energy into the study of conserva- tion and the gaining of a scientific attitude toward our work. Movies and slides are shown to us and notebooks are made on the subject. We are acquiring much living material in the form of various animals, plants, and fish for demonstration purposes and study. Special Certificates of Merit are awarded by Mr. Young to those doing commendable outside work and this produces much enthusiasm for competition. RITA ANDERSON 63 Un Peu de Tout Cette annee nous avons fait un peu de tout. Nous avons ecrit aux etudiants dans les ecoles en France. Nous avons expedie beau- coup de cadeaux de Noel a une jeune fille a Paris. Nous avons lu beaucoup d ' histoires et aussi nous nous sommes exerce avec ce dif- ficile subjonctif. On a done eu une annee occupee. Maintenant, nous esperons vous montrer des e ' chantillons de notre travail. Nous espe ' rons que vous les aimerez. JOHN AMARAL This year the French pupils of Mademoiselle Jacques have been encouraged to have pen-pals in foreign countries. Letters have flown back and forth between Plymouth High School students and students in distant countries, particularly France and Finland. Below are interesting excerpts from a few of these letters which give us a better idea of how youth in other lands live. The first of these excerpts is taken from a letter received from Bruges, a town in the same province as is Bordeaux, in F rance. Eliane Bantelobre tells us where she attends school and what she studies. Je vais a I ' ecole au Bouscat a trois kilometres de Bruges. J ' ap- prends le Francais, I ' Anglais, I ' Espagnol, la Geometrie, I ' Algebre, les Sciences Naturellcs, la Geographie, I ' Histoire, Physique, Chimie, Dessin, Stenographie, Dactylographie, Couture, et je fais de la Gym- nastique. Pendant les heures d ' education physique je fais du Basket- ball, mon jeu prefere. The following is of particular interest because it is from Arlette Deniau, the Parisian girl to whom the French pupils sent boxes of food and clothing at Christmas. Je vous remercie beaucoup des colis que j ' ai recus. Vous m ' avez bien gatee. Et vous remercierez aussi toutes et tous vos eleves qui vous ont aidee a preparer toutes ces belles et bonnes choses qui me sont arrivees. Arlette now says how happy and grateful she is to have been adopted by American boys and girls. Je suis tres heureuse d ' avoir ete adoptee par des petits ameri- cains et americaines qui apprennent le Francais. lis sont vraiment tres, tres gentils d ' avoir pense a s ' occuper d ' une petite Francaise qui les remercie de tout son coeur et qui leur envoie toute sa sympathie. LILLIAN SHARKEY Le 15 novembre, les classes de francais ont expedie neuf boites- en tout quatre-vingt-trois livres-chargees de nourriture et de vete- ments a une jeune fille de quatorze ans, a Paris. Cette jeune fille est: Melle. Arlette Deniau, 87 rue Croix Nivert, Paris 15 e, France. Le pere d ' Arlette etait un membre de la resistance. Ces boites ont ete envoyees pour son anniversaire et pour Noel parce que son anniversaire etait le 20 decembre, juste cinq jours avant Noel. 64 Les classes de francais ont soixante-dix-neuf eleves. Cinquante-quatre ont contribue avec cinq membres de la faculte ' . Une lettre du Comite ' de Massachusetts de rAmerican Relief pour la France, Inc., dont les quartiers se trouvent a 121 Newbury Street, Boston, nous a donne quelqu ' un que nous pouvions rendre heureux a Noel. Quand nous avons recu le nom dans la lettre, nous avons trouve qu ' Arlette demeurait dans une section pauvre de Paris. Des suggestions pour diverses choses ont ete appre ' cie ' es. Avec les cadeaux d ' argent a ete ' contribue ' aussi un foulard de laine qu ' on a achete. Le prix pour expedier ces colis a monte ' a onze dollars et soixante- deux cents. Quelques articles contribues etaient: des choses pour ecole, des bonbons, du chocolat, du the ' , du cafe, une jaquette presque neuve, du fil, des aiguilles, un chandail blanc et d ' autres chandails, du savon, des jeux, des gants, du papier a lettre, du lait dans des bidons, des joyaux, un Pilgrim de 1946, un livre de Plymouth et des revues de jeunes filles. Parce que les colis ont tous ete envoyes le meme jour, les noms de I ' eleve la plus jeune de chaque classe de francais ont ete ecrits pour I ' adresse et trois autres noms. Ces eleves etaient: Dolores Cravalho, Lillian Sharkey, Clark Griffith, Pauline Armstrong, Thomas Vacchi et Marjorie Nickerson, et Plymouth High School, French Department, et Senior French class, puisque chaque senior a contribue. On remercie beaucoup les gens qui ont aide a faire et expedier ces boites. lis ont donne leur temps. Ceux-ci etaient Claire Stratton, Andree Straker, Rollene Waterman, Mercy Barnes, Susanne Taub, Betsy Mandell, et John Tubbs. Le projet a eu un grand succes et peut- etre enverrons- nous une boite a Paques. 1 • i ARLENE CHRISTIE Sans titre , 3 -5- 5 LLI9 pe-tti 0L-6eauL vo-Le a 5or?-i9icl It cbaptea sor?

The line make a sudden, deceptive dip. Then jerks to the surface. — A pleasure ship, Roofed with gay parasols, slowly steams by. And, when it has passed, the man, with a sigh, As if waked from a pleasant dream too soon, Picks up a fragment of bait, and reflects: It is noon.

This strange universe is constructed on a plane, above or below which no local inhabitant is able to rise or sink. The population is com- posed of polygons of various sizes, shapes, and sides. They appear how- ever, as straight lines to one another since they can view others only in the one plane in which they are lying. The more educated and wealthy a person, the more sides he has. Thus the poor soldier has a sharp isosceles body while the priest (or man of learning) is almost circular in shape. Women, you will be interested to know, are the lowest and most ignorant creatures of the Flatland population. They consist of one straight line and are quite dangerous because of the constant possibility of stabbing someone with their needle-like heads. The houses have no floors or roofs as we of the three dimensional world know them. This is, as you know, because of the incapability of ' of the inhabitants to depart from their solitary plane. As a result, the outsider from our three dimensional earth could view all that goes on, in what Flatlanders consider perfect privacy. By reading and discovering their methods of living, recognition of friends and foe, their knowledge of mathematics, and ways of thinking, we can, by comparison, see reasons for the possibilities of fourth, fifth, and even sixth dimensions. This may sound incredible, yet Einstein claims the possibilities of a fourth dimension. The story of Flatland causes one to reason and ponder to what extent dimensions do go. Sub- jects like these are much too complicated for such feeble minds as ours. Perhaps in the future, as man progresses, the higher dimensional secrets of the universe will gradually unfold. GEORGE Paulding HIS IS quite different from any other story you have ever read. Does it make any difference to you that twice two is not always four; that there is more to parallel lines than met Euclid ' s eye — that you ' re living in a four dimensional world? You ' d better believe it does. Furthermore, it is impossible to define and prove all terms, even in mathematics. In Euclid ' s geometry, every claim was proved by some- thing that had been previously proven. Obviously, then, he had to start with unproved propositions, undefined terms! Also, do you know that whenever you walk, your head goes further than your feet — but for some unknown reason your feet get tired first? Progress is made by respect- ing, but not always following tradition. So remember, there is nothing good or bad, right or wrong, in our world, but thinking makes it so. This book is full of mathematics, and full of humor, also full of a deep, healing philosophy of life, reassuring, strengthening, humane. How can a book contain so much? Read this, and you ' ll soon find out. harold young The Education of T. C. Mits (The Celebrated Man in the Street) 67 The Numbers Racket -- Long Ago FROM the verji beginning men have counted on their fingers. Egyp- tians became the first people to count to ten, and for higher num- bers they used ten and one, ten and two, until they reached their desired number. Later it was simplified to eleven, twelve and thirteen. From these the Roman Numerals were later derived: I-l, V-5, X-10, L-50, C-100, CD-1000. Compare these with modern Roman Numerals: I-l, V-5, X-10, L-50, C-100, D-500, M-1000. A bar placed over a numeral is the sign to multiply by 1000, as: V-5000, X-10,000, XIV-14.000.— In China, no one could count over four, and beyond that number the Chinese used the word many. — Caius, a Roman, was the first to add numbers by using pebbles, counting in units, tens and hundreds. — The Babylonians used a duo-deci- mal system derived from watching the stars, which is still used today. — The Egyptians associated the Nile River closely with the year. It seems that the word Nile, written in Greek, is NEIAO?;. These letters in the Greek system of numerals stand for: N-50, E-5, I-IO, A-30, 0-70, C-200. These figures, when added, total 365, the number of days in the year. — Later we find the Arabic system, our present one, which simplifies the problem immensely. These numbers are made of digits of one character. This system is based on an improved principle, that of place value, which came from the Hindus of India. The Arabic system was introduced with commerce after the Crusades, although the zero was still not in use. The zero was added later, to lessen difficulties in counting.

In other words, if the crow were to fly in a straight line from the finish to the starting-point, how many miles would he have to go? webster dyer MATH PAGE COMMITTEE Edna Salmi, chairman Madeline Munch Ellen DeCoff Alan Carlin Webster Dyer Phyllis Ghidoni Harold Young George Paulding (•S9JTUI g— uia qojd buiHtjo o; jaMSuy) 68 United States History Visiting The United States T HE United States has, after many years of war, again opened its doors for visitors, students, and immigrants from European coun- tries. Since the spring of 1946, when America resumed the issuing of visas, there has been a great influence of travelers from Europe. Never before have Europeans had as strong a desire to go to the United States as they have today. America is for them what the oasis is for the thirsty desert-traveler. They want to make the U.S.A. their new home and adopt our democratic way of living. The arrival in New York has always been a great experience for the European visitor. The store windows and the well-dressed people on the street deeply impress him. At the same time, he also notices how easy it is to get a taxi and a porter to carry his baggage, and how friendly and helpful everyone seems to be. Not only the influx has changed — the whole atmosphere is different from what he is used to. There is good will in the air! Well-known are the American amusements. It is, however, too great a subject to thoroughly analyze; but generally speaking, what most im- presses a visitor in New York is Radio City Music Hall, and, perhaps still more, Broadway. The Milky Way certainly justifies its name. The countryside is very much the same as the European. The towns here, however, have more and better stores; fewer and poorer movies than corresponding towns in Europe. The absence of class lines often confuses a visitor. Judging people by their conduct, speech, general education, and others, one is apt to find greater differences here than in the Old World. However, it is almost impossible to draw any conclusions from these observations here in the United States. The explanation lies probably not only in the American philosophy of living, but also in the system of a standardized education. Here, for example, almost everyone, rich or poor, goes through the same type of high school. In most European countries there are several schools, ranging from public schools of seven years to private schools of nine years. In a private school a pupil has from twelve to sixteen sub- jects. There are no elective subjects. Between this and a public school, which is supported by the state, there are several schools differing from one another in the skill of their teachers, the number of subjects they teach, and in the fee paid. Which school one attends depends, therefore, largely upon his financial and social positions. Education in the home is an important factor in Europe, while in the United States, the schools usually carry the whole burden. Ameri- cans, it seems, spend less time in their homes than Europeans do. They are more active and ambitious. Not only the amusements take their time, but various clubs and societies keep them rather busy. Finally, it may be pointed out that what perhaps most impresses a a foreigner is the high standard of living the Americans enjoy.
