But it was felt that the year should not be allowed to slip by without at least one issue and this issue is devoted to the outgoing class of 1920. This particular number shows two unusual features, namely, the selec- tion of the editorial staff from the present Junior class and the Freshmen associate editors from the present Junior High eighth grade. This will relieve the Seniors of the work of pro- ducing a. paper at a. time when their 9 W k? .:' 'E . '. ..-.- ff' ' hiv all 5: GC' t Zflw 1 4 ' ' 'wx I energies and attention are fully oc- cupied with matters incidental to graduation exercises. The student body will please bear in mind that the Clarion will make its first appearance of the 1921 school year in September and will be pub- lished ,each month thereafter during the year. What we want during the next year is supportg we need the earnest Work of all students to make this paper fill its proper place-that of a true school organ. You have heard the saying t'All things come to those who wait. Here's a better one- All things come to those who hustle while they walt. So don't just wait to see what the Clarion is going to be, but hustle to make it one of the brightest, best school papers in the country. The Edi- torial Staff will do its best: the rest is up to you. Address To Undergraduates. The following address to the under- graduates was delivered fby Burnham E. Averill:- It is my fgiood fortune as a member of the Class of 1920 to deliver at our Class Day exercises an address to the undergraduates. -Sharing with. those 'Who are to follow in 'our footsteps the experience and advice rwhich we have encompassed, I can only hope, then, that in what I am going to say I shall be given credit for endeavoring to speak conscientiously and to the best of my knowledge and judgment in be- half of the graduating class. It is with a feeling of pride and deep satisfaction that I am able to say that y-ou have witnessed in one way or an- otlhler a class, .perhaps as large as any that has ever 'graduated in un- checked triump-h from the Portsmouth Hilgfh 'School. But let me say here th-at it has not ubeen without work, faithful industrious labor. 'There has entered into our life depression and sacrifices together with the untold pleasures all of which 'have constituted our four years' sojourn beneath this dominant stru-cture. THE CLARION 5 We have yet to strive for success but each one must possess in some form the qualities that make for suc- cess. If I were 'asked 'what should be considered, as a 'first requisite for suc- ces in life, so far as the young loe- ginner is concerned, I might say the qualities off honesty, energy, frugality, and integrity, are more necessary than ever 'before and there is no success without Uhem. 'These requisites are so often urged that they have become commonplace, ibut they are really more prized than ever -because the greatest good that man can do is to cultivate himself in order that he may be of greater use to humanity. The best suggestion that can bc given to the young men of today is honesty. Nothing can be more helpful tzhan this when ,com-bined with other essential qualities. Should one be endowed with the'in- heritance from which others have so profited and fwhich will stand in good stead in later life, by lbeginning now when youth is in the bud, accepting the inheritance of good health, good ha'bits, a clean mind, and a tireless de- votion to duty, the need not look fur- ther for success. For so surely is suc- cess due to come by the carrying out of these principles. Education in itself is boundless but valueless when not mixed with the true requisites of nature. High school education is the :foundation of a young man's requisites, all may not be fortunate enough to spend years at college but rest assured the greater percent of young men today, those who have brought this 'country to a peace, have had nothing, further than a high school education. Education. however, should be para- mount. It is the fitness for that job- that life's job-which is going to prove future happiness and value to your- selves as well as to others. It is not the amount of Work done but the qual- ity and the spirit in which it is done. Satisfaction of being surrounded by thinking, active, and inquiring minds, instead of ignorance. Daniel Webster says: Knowledge does not comprise all which is con- tained in the large term of education. The feelings are to be disciplined, the passions are to be restrained: true and worthy motives are to be inspired, a profound religious feeling is to be in- stilled, and pure morality inculcated under all circumstances. All this is comprised in education. Then too, Patience, has been deiined as the courage of virtue, the prin- ciple that enables one to lessen pain of mind or body, an emotion that does not so much add to the number of joys, as it tends to diminish the number of sufferings. If life is made to abound with pains and troubles, by the errors and the crimes of life, it is no small advantage to have a faculty that enables one to soften these pains to ameliorate the troubles. The most beneiicient operations of 'nature are the result of patience. The waters slowly deposit their rich alluviumg the fruits are months in their growth and perfecting. Knowledge is power but it is one of the slowest because one of the most durable of agencies. Still another requisite is integrity- the foundation of all that is high in character among mankind: other qualities may add to its splendor, but if this essential requisite be wanting all their luster fades. Let a man have the reputation of being fair and up- right in his dealings, and he will pos- sess the confidence of allkiwho know him. The man that finds happiness ,in all this is at peace with himself and all the worldiiffdiifk he who has not character is barren of the true virtue of human kindness and earthly devo- tion. Minds are given, characters are made. God gives the mindg man makes the character. Just as a. man prizes his character, so is he. This is the true standard of man. 4 THE CLARION In conclusion I might quote the words of Butler and may you be known way, Ye must go o'er lt, meet ye what ye guided by them.

'Twas the fall of 1916 That We first began our sltludies First 'began to read and study As the Freshmen class of High School Many are the nights we pondered Poindieried late and e'e'n gill morning On some algebraic proiblem Or some Latin conjugation.

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY Be it remembered Canld it probably willy A .' fy That we, the class of 1920, Ports- mouth High School, in lthe city off Portsmouth, in the county of Roclking- ham, the state of New Hasmlpzshireg be- ing desirofus off making some testa- mentary 'disposition of our :hard- earnled schvool and class traditions, customs, habits, desue-tudes, scandals, virtues and vices: in order that the benefits, assistance, general aid, and hindrances may be palsrsed on to our less sophisticated brethu-eng nwalmely, the Juniors, Sop-homorefs and Fresh- mle-n, that 'they may profit by our mis- takes and assume our responsibilities and obligations and corutinue thelm at that hih standard which wie, as Sen- iors, have so nlolbly maintained. There- fore, we the .salid 'class of 19210 do here- by malke, tpulbli-sh and declare this our first, last and only will and testament. First and foremost we do generously bestow up-on our right and 'honorable rivals, the members of the class 01 1921, the privilege olf oocuspying Rooms 3, 4 and 5, and do gravely admonish them to abuse neither this privilege n-or the historic desks in the afore mentioned rooms. Also. being' of generous disposition and beneficcnt tendencies we do, after much serious consideration, make fthe following individual bequests: -Our president, Robert Kirkpatrick, leaves to Merton Varrell his great pro- ficiency anfd just fame in all athletic Durrsuits: a.n:d tc Harry Rumney, the well deservled esteem of ihis classmates. If you make good use off these gifts we are sure the class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-One will follow Wontihily in o-ur footsteps. Our- vice president, Caro-lyn Badger, Leaves to Hope Adaims her unques- tioned pkwpluflarity. You will be very lucky to have your 'class think as much of you as Ca1rolyn's does of her, Hope. Our secretary, Muriel Lance, leaves to Hselen Kelley her undoubted excel- lence in her sltdudies. Aldded to your own albilltbf this should make you a pfulpdl to rejoice the hearts of your 6 THE CLARION teachers. And upon Frances Badger she bestows her even uemper and con- stant ch-eeriiullmess. If you d-on't need it now, Franzces, you may store it up f0P the proverbial rainy day. 0111' treasurer, Paul Badger, gives to Pariker Twoirrnbly a few inches of his tc-Werinug heighxt, which We are sure Parker miust envy. And to Scott Fur- ber he leaves, with much good advice, his proficiency in basket ball. To Florence Marston, Helen Nevsdck leaves detailed and explicit directions for the arranfgeiment of her 'distinctive coihfurie, which has long excited the wonder and adlmiration of her class- mamesi. Lucille Jacques bequeathes to. Anna Connors her operatic abilities and to Mary Perry her dramatic success. We h0Pe thna-t you apypreciated your goo-d fortune in receiving 'these gifts which Lucille uses to suich advantage. To Reginald Juneau, Monita Gray leaves her Siurnrisng supply of ingeni- ous refmarks and penpetual moftion in the halls and corridors. We are afraid that hligih school will seem rather dun witlhout Monita, so do your best to take her place, Reginald. Franc-es Howaird leaves her latest book on hlofrseiback riding to Dorothy Brooks. If you follow her direlcltions carefully you will douibltless rpmve Y011I1S61f Wlorthy of your instrulctor. Alice Donovan leaves to Eloise Trot- tier her digvnifiedand lafdylike ways. You'll be quite grown mp nent year, Eloise.

H'ere's hoping you're as Sl1,CCClSS'flll in amusing' people as Her- be-rt has been. We know Jlohn Neville dances well, but he w'il be truly wonderful in this 1'G'SVD9iCt next yaear, for to h'im Louise Bfagdon fealves her great skill in danc- ing each and every step, new or old. Ralph Brown will be delighted to hear tlhiat Rlolbnert Marvin hals leit hifrll his f3Jl'I1'0fl1'S line of rapwid-fire con- versaltiion., on the one oonldition tlliat he will malke use of it at least four peri- ods out oif every six. To Margalreft Adams, Floren-ce Gray leavevs her re-aldy smile and the duty of carryiirmg home at least three books every day. You may chose small ones though, Mangaret. Laoruis Blaolk 1-egretffulily ibequeaths to Garvin Drerw, thlree inches of his height. We halve always been S'0'l'l Y that you weren't taller, Garvin, but you'lll feel lots beltter now-fthanks to Louis' geimenositiy. Edgar Baker will find plenty of re- laxation from h.ils studiiies next year in properly alttending to the voluminous correspondence that is sadlly surren- dered to him by Eutgiene Seawand. You may vary the mlono-tonly by an occa- sional penslomlal vislit if you like, Edgar. Eleanor Haskell leaves to Orinlha Chick, her air of grown--up dig'HiffY and sophistication that a.cco1n!l2Ll'lieS he proved talent in dnramatincs. This is a valuable gift and if rightly used, will be of great help to you. Claire Flanigan reluctantly 'bestows upon Gertrude Ham fher remarkable talen, infallibility in spellinigi any rwordf in VVelloste'r's Unalbridged. Certainly a rare and useiiul gift! Doris Smallcfon and Margaret Scott leave to Francis Bnovvn and Thomas Quirk their afternoon visits to their home room, p1'0Wi'dGC1 they agree to re- turn at least once a week and for D. crime no less than conim'unl'catl.on af- ter thle 10.50 bell. Katherine Pray and Marion Gray be- queath their dig'IlxiH6d and Senior-like manners to Serena Jones and Law- rence Sullivan. With sincere lamlefntations 'Morris Stewart l-eaves to Esther Mullane his much-admired curls rwhlioh have proved bewvfi'tlch'irug to so many of his feminine clalss mates, A thinfg' of beauty is a, joy forever. THE CLARION Q 7 Richman Maangeoson leaves to Harold Beaohazm his unuisrual viocal azociom- plishmients with sincere hopes that hte will make use of them successfully. Cathleen Meloon will be a great help to Mr. Bilubiruek next year for Eto her Laura Marshall has donsented ot leave her skill in ,piano playing. She wished that she could also give you a piano which would Wofrthily demonlswtrate your tal-ent. To Hilda Fife, Helen Colbath leaves her luxuriant hair. Don't worry if the colors donit balend well, Hilda: Helen's intentions were good. Charlie Norton, with iruclh sadness' and regret, leavs to Kenneth MlclDon- ough, the privilege of paying athen- tiofns to a centain Juinior. We hoipe Kenneth realizes what an honor is his. Ralph Allen and Charles Amazeqen will acquire deserved renown next year, for to them Samniell Maddiook leaves his astonishing knowledge of chemistry. John Regan 1-eaves his mrusiical tal- ent and an opportunity to play in the school orchestra to Arnold Bfenry and Esther McDonald. We expect to have a truly remarkable orchestra. To Alice Boley and Louise Quirk, Edith O'Brien leaves her lady-like ways and becoming dignity. These gifts will be of great help in behaving in the serious -and dignified manner of Seniors which you will Uooth be next year. Jeanette Quinn presents to Virginia Aichel her en'thus'iasm for school and its ac'tiviti'es, with fthe earnest desire that Virginia ,gratefully use 'and ne- merrtber her kindness. Leo Bridges ,grudgingly 'bestows uAp'on Harold ,Bridle 't1w'o perfectly who-le glass 'nest-ltu'bes which have act- ualy survivied the havoc Wro'u'g'l'lt by many 2che'm penilods. Pe'rh'a:ps they have been stremgitihiened by their ex- perience, but nevertheless we ibeg you to use th-elm with dzue caiution and gem- tlenesfs. To Marjory Pray, Mary Thomas leaves her ceasleless agotivity at recess, and hier ready laughter at any J0'k6 or incident that even remotely de- serves it. Burnham has discovered-and inci- dIe.n'Ual1ly made 'ulse of-a lotison that is albsollutely guaranlteed to make la-HY 1'1'1lU'Slf.8.Ch19 of whatever size our collor ad- hlere firmlly for any length of time. Kennetih Youngg will be, veny glad to hear of thiait. Burnham has kindly de- cided to imfpart to fhim the name of this valuable and indiispensalblle prep-- aration. Use lift in next y'e'ar's pilaiy, Kenneth.

V Paul Stella fbequeathas to Alfred To- bey the diiificmilllg, task of Suleces1sttlu:1l'y maintainfifng the dignlity exfpected of a Senior in spite off ,his dtistrefslsing laclk of inicihes.

T10 David Schurmrarn, Pauil Hiugihes relulcta-ntlly leaves hlig present sugpvply of colored collamsv-all of them, in.c'liud,- ing both .pinnk and green shades: whille to Harry delkoehemongt he bequeathns htis- enviable high 'average in English. Philbrick Butler oonlfens' ulpon Ger- alldinie Foss and Alice Iionengan his incru1ralb'lie fondness foir dancing. We dare say you girls will feel 'c'omp'el'led to dance at least five nights out of seven, but donft forget youlr home les- sons enltirely. Ph.il'briok inever d.id. Joseph Hurley surrenders to Morris Pridham the doulbtliiul honor of main- taining the fbraditioinal refpfutatio-n of the masculine sex in the study of Latin, while to Russell Rowe he leaves his loud and diis't.inxc't voice. Theresa MacDonald lbequeaths to Anna rSdot,t .the tyrpevvlniter which she has used, and grown qiuiitie fond of. Use it as often. as necessary, but care for it faithfully, Anna. 8 THE CLARION Geraldine Davis -enitnustls 'to Doxvolthy Rines and Miuriel Todd her reoelss time prornenades., These daily walks will be good for your healitlh, girls, sro dom't neglect them.. Doris S-ykes generously leaves to Elizabeth Snyder her frequlem rides 'to and from soluool. If you gain any ex- tra time ni iihils way, yovu mlighlt help some less florvtlurnalte classmate with the day s Math als'sign'meen't, sinlce you are slune to know it yourself. Jessie Coleman bestow-S her 'mlodlel behavior and orderly 'ways ufpon Ru-th Yeaton. You will never have to look twice for a book, Rurth, for Jletssiels gift wrill helfp you to keep your desk always perfectly arranged. Certainly a very praiseworthy and useful virtue. Annie Mil'ler ,th-i.n'k's that hair ribibons' do not beoome the dignity of a High school graduate, so she lbequeaths them 'to Eva Brovick: while to Iona Drew she leaves her general exoelllence in all her studies. Upon Monica Farrar and Fannie Si-egal, Sarah Thovmals bestows her air of Parisian style. Helen Call and Bessie Cohen be- queath 'their love of dancing and tlmeir knowledge of tfhe latest steps to Cath- erine Moran, Helen Brouillete and Frances Dwyer. Vivian Jenness leaves to Arthur Parsons the hionlor of represerrtling his native town in the Senior class. To Bernard Hawkins. Katherine Lyons 'wills her low,soft voice. Sylvia Stelrling leaves to John Louaghlin her loptimistic disposition and sense of hulmorg but remember, John, too much levity in class is in- excusalble. Virginia Barton and Dorothy Neiwick give ith-eir nealt coifflures and irre- proaohable Marcellls to Helen Mee- gan, Rutlh 'Dwomlbly and Delta Vifard. We wonder if Molly Brown ever wished to be taQl'l? If so, her desire is finally gratified for Marion VVillia1ms leaves her a generous pfortioln of Th-er heigh-tl. We wfonft know you in a year from noiw, Molly. Edith Pearson regretfully bestows upon Eleanor Jones her extensivt wardrolbe. You're a lu-oky girl, Elean- or, for you will always be provided with the newest thing in th-e way of clothes. We wonder if David Rockman would like to be an artist. It is quite pos- sible since to him Robert Marvin leaves his Well known cle-verness in drawing apt and appropriate cartoons. To Willie White, George Flanilgvan leaves his unfortunate habit 'of ap- p-earinlg breathllessly in his home room at 8.16. Please live ugp to this habit as faithfully as George has. Louise Sheppard has fbeen well re- membered. Ulpon her Doris Eaton be- stows her .sltufdiolusl habits and faith- fulness in preparing ass-ilgnments. Eileene Woods enldlovws Pauline Tay- lor 'with her literary albility. Now, Pauline, you may choose between the careens of vauwthfores-s and actress. No longer with Mildred Phil'brick's countless and unelxzpeoted questions in class go uruanlswered, for Claenlce Redden genlerouslfy leaves to her his large stolclk of infallible answers. Jennie C'o'hren and Mary Seigel need nevelr go hlunlgrv at recess n'eX't Year, for Sadie Miller ,generously leaevs them her own supply of lunches or the means of procuring them David Hartwell lbestows upon Eu- gene Hunter his drairnaitic talent, This unselfishnes-s of David's may sometime help yfou to belcolmle quite distin'guiish'ed. Edwin Mitchell kindly gives to John Mooney anfd Gordon Pridham fthe priceless privilege of Whispering when- ever th-ey choose, and allso the art of consuming a great deal of time in ris- ing to answer a question. This last is very useful, for by -the time you are ready to give your answer, the teach- er's thoughts are quilts aiolt to- be on the next question, so your remarks wilfl pass sulcdcesstlully. Rita Marston bestows upon Arthur Vveeks her quietness and lg-enlepal good THE CLARION 9 behavior in class. Too bad yofu cou'l'dn't have had thiis useful gift to use in lf'hysi'c,s Lab this year, Arthur. Teresa Cinowlley conlfers upon Pearl Berry and Muriel Belichier hier ever ready .smiles and gigigrles. If your teachers dionlit appreciate your use of these gifts, your claslslmates will, so do'n t feel bandlly. Marion Thormgplsofn leaves to Annie Craig her constant good nature and unrulffled disposition. Donft let triflles like unprepared lessons worry you Annie-take it from Marion--it doesn t Day- Alice McWilliams submits to Reg- inald Trafton her American History note-book along with the brilliant re- citations that accompany it. Next year you will appreciate this gift a great deal more, for while your class-mates are feverishly making out notes, you will be at liberty to enjoy yourself. Alice leaves her remarkable ability to make good recitations and to receive reports consistently decorated with whole rows of A's to Inez McNabb, Margaret Leary, and Madeline Wes- selhoeft. You girls will be establish- ing scholarship records, but remember to be grateful to Alice for her thought fulness. Marjorie Dockharn confers upon Eu- nice James her numerous navy blouses on the one condition that Eunice will wear them with the hem turned up to show the inscriptions to good ad- vantage. Earl MacDonald sadly surrenders to Benton Hoyt his popularity with the feminine members of P. H. S. We should advise you to learn to dance, Benton, as Earl has been very success ful in this line. Burnham Averill bestows upon Fannie Halprin his efficiency as a basket ball player, and to May Hart- well he reluctantly leaves his recently discovered dramatic abilities. Wyatt Wendell, with a great deal of regret, leaves to Vincent Amazeen his fondness for walking-especially with an agreeable companion of the oppos- ite sex. Vincent certainly is a favored person if he uses Wyatt's kind remem- brance well. John Power will have many spare minutes to amuse himself and his class-mates during chem lab next year, for Joseph Constantino has un- selfishly consented to bequeath to him fifty chemical experiments-each and every one corrected, and stamped with the coveted O. K. Maurice Kuchinsky bestows upon George Benjamin his incomparable French accent. Your teachers will doubtless regard you with wonder George, but we daresay you'll become used to it in time. Martha Fraser gives up all claim to her admirers in Rye in favor of Ruth Sides and Gertrude Weeks. It is a dis- advantage to have them live at such a distance, but then there are times when time and space make very little difference. Alice Goodwin confers upon Flossie Moore and Philena Morton the happy privilege of talking to their hearts' content during study-periods. But be careful, girls, or you will suffer the attendant punishment-that of lonely and sorrowful isolation from your class mates. Rose Sable and Fannie Sharansky have agreed to give to Emily Dame their combined sets of English notes. If you have little to do in class period next year, you may attempt some poetry, as Rose has also entrusted to you her ambitions in regard to that pursuit. Bernice Brown and Cecilia Murphy will their boisterous ways and dis- orderly conduct to Marjorie Evering- ham and Julia Cohen. John Fullam, leaves to James Sacco his infallible knowledge of correct so- cial prncedure. on any occasion re-Q quiring an intimate acquaintance with the rules and regulations of formal etiquette. ,May Walsh has decided to leave to 10 THE CLARION Viola Crompton her happy faculty of being able to keep still at the right moments, and to do her talking when it is quite unnoticed. A very useful gift indeed Viola, and after a little prac- tice you should be able to manage it almost as well as Mary does. To Pauline Halprin, Florence Howell sadly bequeaths her much treasured privilege of never studying at all. To Ruth Dunton, Margaret Ryan submits all her bookkeeping ledgers. These are beautifully kept, and will help you many times next year, re- member to keep them always with you lest some unhappy accident befall them. If any Junior is ever in doubt as to the exact Word he wished to forcibly express his meaning, he may safely consult John Wever, for Don Richard- son has provided for all such emer- gencies by endowing John with one large and useful vocabulary. Finally, we, the class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty, having so gen- erously remembered the Juniors, both individually and collectively, do- sol- emnly extend to them our very best wishes for their future happiness and prosperity. In witness .whereof we have here- unto subscribed our signature and af- lixed our seal this eighteenth day of June in the year of our Lord one thou- sand nine hundred and twenty.

S. days, so rapidly going and I begun to wonder what would be the destinies of my classmates. A brigvhit little star poked its head out and twinkle-d salucily. I felt ,gulre by its manner that it had some superior knowiledlge so I solemnly chanted: Star bright, star light, First star that I see tonight, I :wish I may and I wish I might, I wish my wish may come true to- night. I wish I may see what every on-e of my classmates is going to do. It was only a very few minutes Ialter -when 11 saw a long, low ranch house in the mlidist of a plain. Vkfhooaps, shouts, the tramip of horses' feet were heard and a dozen men rode into the yard. Directing 'the unsaddling of the lrorses and giving orders was Uhve ranch owner, Pau' Badger, the first of our classmates. An office, that of banlk president, businesls-like amid alwe-invsfpiritng, with its mahogany fulrnishings and shiny desk fittings. There was an air of ef- ficiency about that otlfice, mingled with quiet and diignity. The reason was sirmple enough, the private secre- tary was Muriel Lance. On her desk were letters signed R. J. Kinkpatrick, President. The next scene War. in nhe cofuntry. It was fall, the vivid, mystical farl. Dowvn a dusty road bordered with state-ly goldenrod and asters came two young ladies. They were seeking something evidently, for they glanced from side to side. As I looked closer I perceived they carried palette and brushes, another look and I recog- nized Florexnlce Howell and Edith Pear- son, two eminent alrtlists. An exclusive restaurant and roof garden, 3, plalyfground for the wealthy. The proprietor, George Flanigan, stout and prosperous looking, mo- tioned the orchestra to begin.

As THE CLARION 11 Haskell. tenzts of a circvus, the stan-ds in the following it -became lmiore pro- nounced, I could see a man standiwnzg before the side show, making an- nouncements. Nefver was a si-de .show pictured in such glowing colors as that one. The ,brilliant flow of oraitiory never ceased, and iwhetn I bent forward to see who this modern Defmosthenes mighm ble, I was confnonted with the earnest face of Charlie Norton. Strains of sweet music came to my ear and before -my eyes was a large dance hall. Suddenly the mlusic stopped and Geraldine Davis, the di- rector, announced that Fannie Shar- ansky would do her famous exhilbiltlion danloe. Vifhen the music started again, I noticed that Idla Rosa was playing thfe piano, as exipert at classiical, as popular music. A massive b-uilding ,was tihe prinlci- pall feeitune of the neudt view. A ta'bllet n-ear the door informed me lthat it was the Community Bluillfdlinlg and tfhle ar- chitect Melvin Chandler. It has ibeen erected durinzg tlhie term off 'May-or Richman Margesonl. Within, ithere was a conlvenftion of hospital srufperin- tenidents. Dr. Morris Stewart was preparing to address them. In the audience was Marion Williams, Rhoda Farrar and Mary Cronin. The topic of discussion was to be a. discovery made by Clarence Re-dden, the -chem- ist. A splendid represenation of P. H. S. studenlts, indeed. The interior of a fashionable mo- dis-te's shrop. Ve'llve't canpeits, soft hagnigvings of harmonizing tints, with gleaming mimrors, lent a toulcxh osf dis- tinctiont A chic lady, who talked with her eyes, was exhibiting igioewns to a. -matron, wiith fhuer daulgfhter. By h-er ostentatious manner I knew that that proprietr-ess was Cecelia Miunphy. Her model came f-onward 'in a dainty dress of 'rosebud pink. T-he big picture hat framed an adoralble face, that of J eanl- ette Quinn. There wene ltxwo other models, Rita Mortlon and Sylvia Ster- ling, equally as attractive. I saw a magnificent forest surround- ed ,-by towering mountains. Wyatt VVe1ud'el'l was surveyinlg this beautiful tract. A man WELS pokiing with a stick at the neanby ston-es. It was Herbert Jackson, now a gie-ollfogist. He looked very natural always poking. A Business Girls' Home came. The gentle peace and homelike aitmlosphere was easily undenstood. The matron was Frances Howard, who welcomed the girls with words of motherly ad- vice. In the otlfi-ce, Batherine Lyons, with 'her assistant, Claire Flanigan, was finishing the dlay's 'correspond- ence. From the books I learned that Sarah Thomas and Alice McWilliams two prominenft business wolmen were instrumental in the founding of this splendid institution. The brilliant .gleam of a light flalshed across the sea. A shigp, 'driving throulgh the dark waters, nurned its course at the warning Signal. Eugene Sealwalrd, the captain, mentally thanked thle lighthouse tender, little knowing he was his classmate, Douglas Richard.- son. A gorgeous limousine rolled into a large garage. A lady allighted. She looked familiar, yes, juslt as I ghouzght, it was Helen Call. Helen had invested her money well and was now a lady of leisure. She apyproached the head mechanic who was John Fullam. Sure- ly he must fbe a. good one or sulch a car would never have been intnrusted to him. A dozen girls lisl-ned with marked interest to a dignified .professor as she pointed out the position-s off the vari- ous constellaltions. Shle wvais Eleanor Batchielder, disoolursinlg just as bril- liantly als she uls-ed to in Latin class. The 'girls lerft .to altltend a dlass in Economics colndulcted lbiy Laura Mar- shall. In a Well Strreet office, David Hart- well, a lbroker was giving dilcltaltion to Rose Sabela This plarticfular letter, .xl 12 THE CLARION that Rose was taking wilth such re- markalble speed, was to Paul Hughes, the owner oof a stock farm. The next picture filled me with fear and trerrnblinsg. A Stutz racer tore madly axro-und a corner and drew up short. A mam jumped out, took off his hlad, and bowing low said, Robert Marvin, reporter for the New York Sun, at your service. I was permitted a peek in a fashion- aible drawing rorxm, crowded with so- ciety WOIIIISH. A beautiful woman con- versing with tl.e hostess, I knew to 'be Carolyin Badger. A group of tlhio women was grfeatly aniused by the witty remarks of Helen Newiick. On the side of a lofty mountain was a tiny cottage. The little place over- looked a vast expanse of ibeaguty, woods, valleys and mou'nta.ins. In the doorway stood Philfbri-clk Butler, the foresiter. Certainly an inspiring work. this, Butler, where nwture is a con- stant comlpanion. Did you ever see an actress landing from a successful European tour? That was wlhat I was privileged 'Lo see. First came the trunks and coluintless 'boxes of this renowned personage. On the pier stood reporters, note books in hand, jotting down the exact nulmlber and anxiou-slry eyeing the gangmvay for the appearnce of the actress. At last she came, leading a. tiny Chow dog and followed fby her French maid. I was both surprised and delighted to learn that this distinguished woman was Monita Gray. Before the bar in a large court room stood Joseph Hurley, earnestly plead- ing for a sobbing girl, huddled in the corner. Doris Eaton, a welfare worker, finally succeeded in comforting the poor prisoner. She joined with the others in congratulating Hurley,when a verdict of Not Guilty was brought in. I should have enjoyed a quiet hour at the cozy tea-room that the next picture showed. The house was invit- ing, but the tables, set under the shady maples, were positively alluring. The three owners greeted guests with kind ly hospitality. They were Theresa Crowly, Edith O'Brien, and Mary Walsh. In the jungles of South America, through the vines and exotic flowers came a party of explorers. VVith diffi- culty they cut a path through the tan- gled maze, and I saw Joseph Costan- tino, the leader. The soft music of violins issued from the orchestra of a large opera house. An expectant hush, and the velvet curtains slowly parted, reveal- ing Lucille Jacques. It was with re- luctance that I watched the picture fade away, for I longed to hear more of Lucille's wonderful voice. If you could have seen the bakery I saw, I am sure that you would have been as hungry as I was. The tempt- ing display far surpassed any I had ever known. Moreover the proprietor was Louis Black who moved about, directing the work of his employees. Never was there a woman who was not moved by a stunning array of hats. Those exhibited in the following scene were bewitching, rakish tur- bans, large picture hats, and pert bon- nets. I wondered who was responsible for these creations and my curiosity was satisfied by the sight of Doris Smallcon. If ever I have to have any teeth pul- led, I shall certainly go to Paul Stella. The patients whom I saw entering his office seemed perfectly calm and con- Hdent, no hesitancy or dread. Stella was an ideal dentist. Silence and an atmosphere of cul- ture pervaded the sceneg an immense library, well lined with inviting books. Jessie Coleman was helping a young student choose a book, explaining to her the delightful possibilities of the old writers. Marion Gray, a Woman of poise and dignity, turned from her desk to graciously spend a few minutes of her valuable time in telling the story of the beautiful mural paintings to a THE CLARION 13 visitor. Trays upon trays of precious jewels Killed the cases of the jewelry shop presented to my view. The sparkling gems were arranged so artistically that I began to think who of my class- mates in the old P. H. S. days dis- played such ability. Then I remem- bered, it was Leo Bridges, and sure enough there he stood looking over his work with a critical eye. Work in the settlements is one of the noblest occupations in the world. How I anxiously awaited to see who this woman was whom mothers greeted with beaming fum-s and chil- dren followed so trustfully. It was no other than Lucille Curtis. She stopped at an institution for the blind where Bernice Brown was fitting the poor unfortunates for a useful life. A picture within a picture and I was confronted with a movie. It was a thrilling one and made my blood run cold. A sinking ship with a girl stand- ing on deck, wringing her hands. But she need not have feared, for Burn- ham Averill, the hero, jumped into the raging sea with her, swimming to a life boat. Burnham made a dashing hero, 1 assure you. lt must have been the Cherry Blos- som festival in Japan, as the people were gayly dressed and the trees made a curtain 'of bloom. Yellow hair seemed odd among so many dark heads, but finally it came to me that this was a missionary A and Doris Sykes. A massive ship was on the ways, waiting for the christening bottle to be broken over its bow. At last the sponsor bent forward, the boat slid gracefully into the water While shouts filled the air. Louise Bragdon turned to face the cheering crowd and was presented w. h a bunch of roses. I distinguished an employment bu- reau in what followed. Mary Timmons and Marjorie Dockham were the own- ers. People simply Hocked to them and from their satisfied expressions, I en. judged our two classmates were very successful. In a. pullman car racing across the continent, I saw two women. The eld- er woman seemed greatly interested in the conversation of the other who was Dorothy Newick. Dorothy was evidently doing well in her position as traveling companion. I saw in her employer's lap a book Dietetics, by Katherine Pray. Scores of fashionably dressed Wo- men were entering a shop on a busy thoroughfare. I looked more closely at the lettering on the entrance and read, Margaret Ryan, Hairdresser. I was simply fascinated by the at- tractive room shown in the next pic- ture. On closer inspection I perceived it was an office, although the magnifi- cent hangings, well chosen furniture, and beautiful pictures would have made any woman's room a place of exquisite charm. On the desk was a card engraved, Marion Thompson, Interior Decorator. Mary Katkin was a teacher so I learned from my pictures. Her disci- pline was perfect and the children studied industriously. Sadie Miller came in to talk with her and from their conversation I judged that Sadie was in charge of the Children's Home. The following pictures came in such rapid succession that I can give you only the merest glimpses. Margaret Scott was the supervisor of a tele- phone exchange, Earle MacDonald owned a factoryg Bessie Cohan was cashier in a department store where Helen Colbath was a buyerp Morris Kutchinsky, a tailorg Annie Miller, a. teacher in Jerusalem and Virginia Bar ton, a landscape gardener. The next scene was more kind and gave me ample time to observe all the details. The setting was a former Indian reservation, but, oh, how changed. No longer were the Indians treated as prisoners, but they enjoyed the full rights of citizenship as the only true Americans deserve. They 14 THE CLARION were prosperous, too, for a great in- dustry had grown up among them. They owed their new independence and prosperity largely to the untiring efforts of Samuel Maddock. The last rays of the sinking sun were fading across the Golden Gate making a gorgeous picture. In the doorway of a pretty home stood Flor- ence Gray with her two children. It Was a thrilling and inspiring scene with which to conclude my visions, for I saw no more and the night was very dark. But I had seen my classmates and knew that they were all prosper- ous and happy. Above my head the star still twinkled brightly. I cried out to it happily, It's a grand old class, 1920, isn't it? And the little star looked down and deliberately winked. CLASS LIMERlCKS CMarron Williamsj Morris Stewart-a heart.

THE BRACELET OF SAFIYEH Lieutenant Stuart Prevor stopped for a moment in one of the streets of Cairo, Egypt, and leaned against a. wall in order to light his cigarette. The flare of the match revealed the fea- tures of a young man of about twenty- iive years 'of age, fair of complexion and blond of hair, with cool gray eyes. There was a light wind blowing and the match suddenly went out. Oh, dash! exclaimed the young officer, and started to light another, when the wall back of him gave way and he was precipitated into dark- ness. What the devil -a heavy hand was immediately clapped over his mouth, he was jerked to his feet, and his arms were pinioned behind. A clanfgving sound told him :that he was shut in, he knew not vsihere. Then from out of the darkness came the gleam of a lantern and soon he saw that he was in a garden of surpassing loveliness. The heavy odor of flowers was everywhere and the tinkle and splash of a fountain came softly to him out of the silence which pervaded everything with a deathlike stillness. Dazed and shaken by the sudden turn if jf, M 16 THE CLARION events had taken, it was some time before his wits returned and he was able to look about him and discover where he was. Turning a little to one side he saw that the hand which had grasped him out of the blackness be- longed to a large and powerful Nu- midian. The fellow was a burly one and after carefully examining him, Prevor turned toward the holder of the lantern, whom he could hardly dis- tinguish in the gloaming. This person was evidently a girl, judging by her small, slight figure and she was heavily swathed in a dark veil, the only visible feature being a. pair of wonderful, soft, black eyes. Without a sound, she motioned the slave to follow her, bringing Prevor with him. The young man saw it was' useless to resist so he was forced to follow. The bewilderment in his mind as to what had happened changed to apprehension as to future develop- ments and he beracked his thoughts for a means of escape. But nothing offered itself to his troubled mind. They were now going down a walk in the 'shadow of the wall surrounding the garden and a house loomed up before them out of the darkness. It was large and its mushrabiyeh Win- dows gleamed Wanly in the blackness. Their conductress led them through a small do r, heavily studded with iron nails, in a long corridor. They fol- lowed the intricate windings of this passageway for many yards, up one Bight of stairs and down another, until they arrived at a small iron door set at the end of the hall. The girl opened this door and led the way into a room, round, low-ceilinged, and draped with silk hangings. She hung the lantern on a brass arm which pro- truded from the wall near the door, and then, turning 'toward tlhe Numi- dian, she motioned him away. He re- tired, closing the door behind him, and Prevor, free at last, looked about him. The floor of the room was strewn with rugs, but the only piece of fur- niture it contained was a low ebony table with carved legs, on which was a brass tray. Cushions were placed all around the table and in the middle of the tray was a lovely ivory box, beau- tifully carved and ornamented with gold, studded with precious gems. Prevor's eyes took all this in at a glance and then turned toward the girl, who had remained motionless, standing by the table. She had thrown back the long, dark, envelloping cape she wore, but her features were indistinquishable be- hind her embroidered yashmak, Prevor waited impatiently for her to make some move but none was forth- coming. Auzeh'? QWhat do you wantb, he finally said, addressing her in Arabic. I have brought you here, she answered, replying in the same lang- uage, for a purpose which I will re- veal later. You, and you alone can achieve this. It does not matter how or where I learned of you, since I did learn, and as you are here now. Her voice was soft and musical, clear as water dropping on glass, and her eyes glowed softly as she spoke. You shall be privileged, she con- tinued, to see the- She broke off suddenly and raised a slim white iinger to her lips, enjoin- ing silence. Prevor listened and afar off, somewhere in the palace a gong sounded three times. The girl, still with that white finger on 'her lips, moved noiselessly over to the opposite wall. Drawing aside one of the heavy draperies she motioned Prevor to re- main where he was, and left the room. He gave a long, low whistle as he stood there, with his hands in his pockets, in the center of that unmis- takably Oriental room. Here he was, Stuart Prevor, Lieutenant in the Uni- ted States Navy, in a perfectly strange house, in an unknown quarter of Cairo, with no visible means of escape, when he should have been aboard ship as he was scheduled to stand the 1 THE CLARION 17 morning watch. Little had he thought when he had dined at Shepherd's ear- lier in the evening with a party of friends from the ship, that he would be shut up in a room in an unknown house, and nobody aware of his pre- dicament. However he saw that merely stand- ing there, While the moments fled, would avail him nothing and so he began to examine his surroundings. Suddenly a piercing scream rent the silence as of some one in an agony of fear. It was a woman's scream and seemed to have come from an ad- joining room. Casting prudence to the winds, Prevor dashed across the room and threw aside the draperies. A blank wall confronted him. Again the scream came to Trevor's ears, though this time it was cut short as though a hand had been clapped over the mouth of the woman who had uttered the cry. Prevor frenziedly dashed about the room, pulling back the curtains. Finally he saw a small hammered brass knob in the plaster of the Iwall. He 'pulled at it an-d a door opened before him. He ran down a long corridor, round a corner and threw his whole weight against the door at the end. It gave way beneath him and he plunged headlong into a large room. f The instant his foot crossed -the threshold from behind the draperies which hung from the ceiling in long folds, about eleven or twelve slaves with scimitars and knives and other murderous looking weapons, sprang out. Apparently no one else was in the room, and Prevor, of no mind to tight a band of husky Numidians, armed to the teeth, turned to go, but the door through which he had entered had banged shut. He had no weapon but his fists and the slaves were advanc- ing menacingly down the length of the the clouds of incense from the ceiling. The him to do, therefore, room through that hung low only thing for was to put up a iight. Prevor never remembered much about that iight. To him it was merely a mess of oily, gleaming, black bodies and knives dashing through the dim smoke. He fought the strength of a mad man, snapping an arm that had crept about his neck as if it had been a stick of kindling, twisting another until it cracked from its socket. Finally he staggered back against the wall to gasp for breath. He was bleeding profusely from a gash on the forehead, one side of his mouth was swollen and his uniform was in shreds. The two first fingers of his right hand hung strangely limp and felt as though they were entirely detached from the rest of his hand and he was holding some one else's fingers. He had received a nasty cut on his left arm just above the elbow and his body was scratched and bruised. Then out of the shadows quite close beside him a soft voice whispered Quick, follow me. A gentle hand was laid on his arm and he was led through long dark passages until they finally reached the garden. There in the shadow of the wall his guide left him to await her return. Suddenly everything went black be- fore his eyes and he felt himself go- ing down, down, down. When he came to himself he was lying on the dock and the cold gray dawn was fast approaching above the horizon. He got rather shakily to his feet and managed to remain there al- though the world was Wandering up and down in a most peculiar manner and everything looked blurry and in- clistinct. Unconsciously putting his hand in his pocket his fingers en- countered something round and hard. He drew it out to the light and dis- covered it to.be a slim golden bough, having a carved clasp of single enor- mous cabocliion sapphire. This was exceedifiglypeautiful as were also the smaller sapphires which were set all around the bracelet, these in turn be- 'RYA' 218 THE CLARION ing surrounded by two rows of small perfectly matched pearls-at the sight of this the events of the night came back in force. On closer examination he discovered that the letter S was engraved on the clasp amidst other intricate designs. This however offer- ed no clue as to the identity of the owner of the bracelet and he was much puzzled. Although he searched far and wide Trevor was never able to Gnd the real owner of the bracelet. He still hopes to, and woe to the .man or woman who tries to rag him about it for on this point he is very touchy and most sen- sitive concerning the events of that night. BETTY SNYDER, '21.

The class of 1920 held its Ibenefit Fri- day evening, Dec. 126, in iFreeman's hall. Following last year's lplan it was decided to -have something a little dif- ferent from the customary Glee 'Club entertainments. A fine musical pro- Igwram was rendered by Lenniey's 'Colo- nial and Novelty Orchestra of Boston, after which dancing lwas enjoyed by all until midnight. 'Those chosen for the Benefit Committee were Burnham E. Averill, Louise 'Bragdon, Paul Badger, Helen Newick and George Flanigan. .i. THE SENIOR PLAY On the evening of May 27, 1920, in the High School Assembly Hall, the 'Senior Class presented their three-act play entitled i'lMonsieur Beaucairef' The quaint gowns of the ladies, the frills anldl furlbelows of the gentlemen, togiether with the clever acting of all taking part aided in the 'presentation of one of the most interesting and well acted 'plays in the 'history of the school. The results of the strenuous Weeks of rehearsing are indeed a 'credit to the untirinig efforts of the three coaches, ,Miss Hewitt, Miss Wentworth and ,Miss Dow, members of the teaching staff, with the very kind assistance of Miss Elizabeth Sypvher. Between the acts selections were creditably given by the High Slchool Orchestra and charming violin and vocal solos rendered by memlbers Off the school, which added greatly to the pleasure of the evening. 'That there his talent wornhy of development in the class of 1920, 1Portsmouth High School, is an undlisputalble fact and the class certainly may 'well be 'proud of the success attained in its final dram- atical presentation, Monsieur Beau- caire.

The incidents happening during her service were told in a charming and entertaining manner. We r-egretted to lose Miss Beane from our teaching staff last spring and gladly welcomed her fback. Donald MacMillan, the famous Arc- tic explorer, who probably knows more of the far North than any other living American, spoke recently fbefore the pupils of the High .Scvhool on the Esquimaux and their haibits. In speak- ing about these people he told us sev- eral peculiar things about their lan- guage one of fwhich was the lack of any significant -word for Whole. It must 'be according to the Esquimaux idea a hole in something, so to him there is a vast difference between a hole in tlhe ice and a hole in his seal- skin trousers. Mr. ,MacMillan met with many 'difficulties in learning this language. In conclusion he paid a 'high tribute to the Esquimaux, saying were it not for them, lno ,white 'man 'would dare face the awful dangers of that White solitude, the Arctic region. Secretary LeRoy C. Schmalzried, of the local Y. M. C. A., spoke one morn- ing in Chapel before the students on the sulbject School Spirit. Mr. Slchmalzried was very Witty and en- tertaining and 'many of his verbal shots found their marks among 'his hearers. In his serious moments the speaker handled 'his subject in such manner as to furnish food' for -giood, sober thought. 'We all say, come again, Mr. Schimalzried. THE LYCEUM ENTERTAINMENT COURSE The Lyceum Entertainment course given by the Portsmouth! 'Teachers' Association during the winter of 1919- 1920 was one of the ibest series of 'high class entertainments presented in the city for some time. Su-ch skilled en- tertainers as William 'Sterling Battis, Crawford-Adams Company, and the Harp Vocal Ensemble furnished the people of Portsmouth, appreciative of the highest talent, with an evening's pleasure such as is seldom gained in the -smaller cities of New England. Not the least important characteristic of this educational course fwas the va- riety of entertainments. William 'Sterling Battis' impersonations of Dickens' characters and the Harp Vo- ,cal Ensembles charming selections each satisiied in its own way and only the highest individual -praise can be given to each of the performers. Cer- tainly the Teachers' Association is to lbe congratulated on -bringing to Ports- mouth such an instructive and enjoy- able series of entertainments. THE CLARION 2'1 BOWDOIN ENTERTAINMENT The Bowdoin Glee and Mandolin Clubs gave a concert in the High School Assembly Hall on the evening of March 26. The purpose of this en- tertainment was to obtain money for the High School Athletic Association. In order to have more money for athletics the Bowdoin boys were en- tertained over night at the homes of the pupils who were able to accommo- date them. Following the concert pro- gram members of the P. H. S. Orches- tra furnished the music for dancing, enabling the Bowdoin boys to partici- pate in the dance which was thorough- ly enjoyed until twelve oiclock. Following was the program: Bowdoin Song, Rise, Sons of Bow- doin ................. Sills-Burnett Glasses Clinking High ..... Fogg, '02 Glee and Mandolin Clubs March, Special Delivery ....

A large crowd was present and enjoyed themselves during the dance which lasted until 11.30 p. m. Ice cream was served and music was ren- dered by the school orchestra. The Junior banner with 1921 on it was dis-H played for the first time, and was said by many to be a peach, which it is of course! THE JUNIOR CLASS PLAY On Friday evening, April 16, 1920, The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary, was presented by the Junior Class at the High School Hall before a large audience. It is ranked as one of the best plays ever presented by the High School and is a. credit to the Class of 1921. The plot centers about a quaint old character Aunt Mary Watkins and the wild escapades of her nephew Jack' Denham, from which tangled webs naturally arise. Friend Cupid comes into play when Betty Burnett makes Jack see the liner side of life. Aunt Mary, old fashioned, peculiar, but lovable and with a heart of purest gold was a difficult part for a present- day girl to portray but was excep- tionally well done by Pauline Taylor. Mention should be made of the other leading characters, impersonated by Mary Perry as Betty Burnett, a sweet charming girl, Harry Rumney as Jack Denham, the sometimes wild but really good nephew of Aunt Mary: Marjorie Everingham as Lucinda, the maid, who furnished the fun. The rest of the cast also showed dramatic ability. The entire Junior Class 'joins in thanks to David Rockman, to whom the financial success is due, to Mr. Ernest Bilbruck, under whose direc- tions a fine musical program was pre- sented, to Miss Rhodes, Miss Currier, and Miss Beane who spared neither time nor effort that the play might be a success. ' 22 THE CLARION A FRENCH PROGRAM On the morning of May 12th after the chapel exercises a short French program was presented by the French Department of the school. It included a nexcellent review on the current events of France by the Misses Ruth Marshall and Katherine Riley of the freshman class, an unusually good reading of la poem composed by a French girl, by Miss Betty Snyder of the Junior Class, and an oration on France and America by Miss Eileene Woods of the Senior Class. The program was presented not to spread the French language but to make greater the tie between the two nations and to instill in the hearts of the American youth the need of ful- filling our immortal destiny, that is, repaying the debt we owe to France. It was also presented to interest the pupils in the Marne Memorial, a cam- paign for which was then being car- ried on. MISS WEBBER AT HAVERHILL Miss Winifred VVebber a former French teacher of P. H. S., is a mem- ber of the faculty at the Haverhill High School.

FOOTBALL SEASON, 1919 In Septemlber, 1919, rw'hen we had been in school a 'week or over, the can- didates for the football team were called. 'The first day about thirty-five men reported for practice. Right then began that gruelling, muscle-laminfg practice wlhich 'was to last thrce long 'Weeks beffore the fellows would get the chance to which they were all looking forward. Gradually the candidates were beginning to thin out. 'T-he 'prac- tice was tellin-gz 'who the .best men were. They kept on dropping off until finally albout fifteen men were left. These fellows -got down on the field every afternoon and: practiced faith- fully. The new uniforms arrived and the fellows certainly did feel proud the first day they got into their togs. At last October 3rd arrived, the day before our first game. In the afternoon we had a light practice in anticipation of a hard game the following day. Affter -gfoing up a.nd dofwn the field sev- eral times 'practicing t'he signals and trying out getting under punts and kick-offs, the coaches called the fel- lows together and gave them a good talk on what was expected of them in thc -gfame which was to be played Uhe next day. After a warning to go home -and rest wp and go to bed early and be careful not to eat too much Saturday morning the fellows 'Were dismissed. lt was a happy 'bunch of fellows that trotted up toathe Y that night. They all felt that they were in trim for the coming game and felt also thrit they were going' to Win. About 121.30 Sat- urday afternoon tlhe Newlburyport teafm arrived. After they had changed into their footlball suits they 'went down to the field. The 'boys who iwere to fight for the glory of old' P. H. S. that after- noon met back of the school. They run through a few signals. The line- up was read out and then the fellows started for the field. They ran onto and pep amid fellow students. to start the game the field full of life the cheers of' their The team which -was went through the si-gfnals up and down tfhe Held. Then the referee's whistle Iblew and tlhe boys lined up to receive the kick-off. The 'ball was kicked, and run back some few yards lby our boys. K- 24 THE CLARION Then the battle was on. They played for four periods, each team scoring six points, and it seemed that if those two teams out there on the field were to play forever, one 'would not get an ad- vantage over the other. So the game ended with the score at 6-6. The sea- son fwent on and though the team lost more games than it wwon, they certainly showed that with the proper training we will have a team next fall as good as any high school team in the state. The letter men of this season are -Captain Badger, Varrell, O'Leary, Piper, Aichel, Hurley, Averill, H. Piper, Kirkpatrick, Flanigan, Rutter and Neville. Of these We lose by gradua- tion Captain Bavdvger, Kirkpatrick, Averill and Flanigan. This leaves eigvhtt letter .men as a nucleus for next year's eleven.

As soon as the football season was en'dfed candidates for the Fbasketlball team 'were called out. There were enough men at the first practice to make up three full teams. After about .two weeks' 'practice the first game was played 'with Dover High, Portsmouth easily winning by a score of 29 to 110. 'From tlhat time on all during the 'winter there were games every Wednesd'ay and Satur- day. The team was fairly successful 'Winn-ing games from some of the best schoolboy teams in New England, such as Allen Military School, Dum- mer Academy, Lawrence Hivgnh School, and Beverly High School. The team played twenty!-t'wo games, eleven of which they fwon. The basketball letter men of this season are: Captain Paul Badger, Var- rell, Kirkpatrick, O'Leary, Averill, O.

Neville, '21. P. H. S. BASEBALL SEASON 1920. The baseball team of 1920 seemed to have a good chance for success,be- cause there was no lack of good ma- terial at the try-out. But unfortunate: ly the team lost eight games, playing with Nashua High School a no-deci- sion game. Towards the end of the year, however, the team played with good spirits against some of the best high schools in New England, and despite their lack of success this year, they hope to retrieve their glory next year. THE CLARION 25 1919-20 GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM 1919-20 The Girls' Basketball Team conclud- ed its schedule with good success for the season of 1919-20. A large num- ber o'f girls turned out, thus giving the team good support at all times. LThe success of the team was due to the excellent coaching of Mrs. Sullivan, a member of the faculty. Out of the nine school games seven were captured by the P. H. S. girls, including a victory over the N. H. State College girls. It is hoped that the girls will have a gym of their own by another year, but they were, however, very grateful for the use of the Y, M. C. A. and the aid rendered them While there. Neverthe- less the girls were obliged to cancel games because of financial difficulties and the bad weather that caused some discomfort on one occasion. Let us hope for better another year, and an increase in interest and support. P. H. S.
