 C I) c 1925 I U a n PUMMY I think that I shall never see A man like Pummy who keeps the key. He is the janitor of our old school. He is very happy, as a rule. A man that looks at us all day And always has something to say. A man that may in summer wear A little skull cap to keep back his hair. Upon his floors the gum has lain Until it makes him 'most insane. Poems are made by fools like me, But men like Pummy you seldom see. —Jac Chapman JUNE TENTH By the door of Sandwich High School, By the gargoyles carved outside it. At the doorway of his sanctum, K. Hough stood in meditation. All the air was full of freshness. All the hall was filled with laughter, And before him, walked the students. Talking, laughing in the hallway. As they gladly started homeward. Sad above him ticked the timepiece; Locker doors at last were silent; Windows all were blank and staring; Forrest sadly looked around him, Saying, My, but it is lonely! —Jane Mosher Page Sixteen

We have had a big representation in all the school organizations, such as the S. T. H. S. A. A. and the Dramatic Club. We had about the best bob ride of the year. May 16 we gave the class of '29 the best Freshman-Eighth Grade Reception (according to Miss Hennis) put on in the new school. Our class was a great help to the football team, being represented by men like Killey, Paulson, and Paden. Arnold Christensen, one of the first Freshmen ever to get a letter in basketball, played regularly on the first five throughout the season. Next year we expect to make even a better record, and our aspirations are especially for still greater representation in athletics. Page Fifteen

Cbc 1923 I Rap 1924-23 AT S. T. H. S. The school year once more draws to a close. Some leave with great joy, but most of us with regret. S. T. H. S. is a great place for one to spend his days, we can't deny that. As soon as the Sandwich Fair was over, the old school house opened its doors and welcomed all comers. School started with a bang and it wasn't long before we were following a football team which was building a reputation that made all opponents quake. V e had some football team during the fall of 24. In the meantime those students who could not take active part in athletics were busy organizing associations which they wished to push. Those interested in dramatics organized a Dramatic Club, elected their officers and have had a booming time ever since. They have kept their organization alive by giving various entertainments through the year. The boys decided an Athletic Association would be a great thing for the school; so they held a meeting and elected officers. This is another club that has been alive throughout the athletic seasons. About the time these organizations were well under way the football season closed and the basketball season opened. While the Basketball team of 1925 was not equal to the one of 1924, yet the games witnessed by the Sandwich fans were of a better class than any of the preceding years. Financially our season was a great success, as many bills of 1924 and 1925 were paid and a small surplus was built up to start on next year. While the class spirit of the scholastic year has not been one of friction, the spirit of contest has been keen. The various classes have met in interclass athletics. The lunior girls were preeminently superior in basketball, their efforts winning the championship. The Seniors were victors in the boys' contest. In class dramatics the Juniors have also taken the lead. They put on the first annual Junior play, East is West , and they hope that Junior classes in future years will follow their lead. Dances and bob parties were a big part of the winter sports. The Seniors started off the dance season with a Hallowe’en festivity. Th Juniors soon followed this with the Junior Hop” and these two were the most successful of all dances given in '24-’25. As the balmy days of spring appeared, banquets and similar festivities kept the students busy. The athletic season was closed with a banquet and dance which made all glad that they were followers of the Orange and Black. The Junior-Senior Reception was closely followed by the Father-Son Banquet and the Freshman-Eighth grade reception, all of which were affairs that made us glad we were social beings. The biggest affair of the year, the May Day Festival, took place on the high school campus as per schedule. This year's festivity was an improvement on all those of preceding years and it was with pride that we looked upon the efforts of the gym classes. The X-Ray flourishes as in former years. It is acquiring the dignity of age at present and the talent at hand from which next year s staff will be selected makes the coming year one of assured success. (Continued on Page 28J Page Seventeen
