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.

Senior Poetry Page LIQHT VERSE OR WORSE MY DATE WITH THE CAMERA My hair won ' t curl, And can ' t you guess why? It ' s got me so angry I ' m ready to cry. My face is all blotchy, A terrible sight Despite all the creams I put on last night. In my new white blouse I made a tear, And I had to find Something else to wear. Oh, well, what ' s the use Why should I be shaken? I never have had A good picture taken. Photographers, I hear, Are witty. They ' ll retouch a picture To look quite pretty! But I ' m still afraid. 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
