THE CHIMES In an instant the crowd was on its feet yelling, shouting, and throwing hats into the air. There was only one man barring his path. If he could only get by ! He saw the man dive for his legs and he felt him grab one of his feet, but in some way he wriggled free and he ran as he had never run before. He crossed the goal line and made the touchdown. The cheering was loud and long. The touchdown made the score 6-3 in favor of Williams College. Before they had time to kick the goal, the whistle blew. The game was over. Williams College had won. The crowd rushed on to the field and put Captain Williams on their shoulders and began a snake dance around the field. He was the hero of the game, and he had won his last football game for his college. James Dwyer, '24. THE SCITUATE HIGH SCHOOL (With apologies to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow) Under the climbing ivy. The Scituate High School stands, The School, a mighty one is it, Above the Scituate sands. The pupils within its red brick walls Are formed in loyal bands. The lessons are long and hard and tough, The books are old and worn, For in their days of usage rough, Their pages oft were torn. Day in, day out, from nine till three. You can see those pupils work. And the parents coming to visit school. Can see that they never shirk. When its twelve thirty-five at High School, You can hear the orchestra tune. You know the life they put in it, Is to make old Scituate boom. In the Scituate High School libr'y, You can find all the poems that you say. From the Gettysburg of memories, To the Flanders of today. Edward Driscoll, '26.

THE CHIMES 15 CAN YOU IMAGINE Miss Elliott giving a short home lesson? Herbert Frye being out of Life-Savers ? Everyone agreeing in the Senior Class meetings? Leavitt Morris when he isn't winking at someone? Bessie Seannell not asking questions? Ruth Welch not on the Senior Class Dues Trail ? Martha Lincoln not telling jokes? Gordon Tucker not passing out gum? Eleanor Dwyer not having anything to do at noon? Glea Cole not getting the corner seat in the barge? Mae Flaherty being prepared in French? Amy Frye knowing her history lesson? Gertrude Stanley looking serious ? What Economics would be without the bread line at the pencil sharpener? George Murphy not talking? Why the Seniors sneezed in Economics? Miss Callahan couldn't. There are many schools like Scituate High, No matter where you go, But Henry's millions couldn't buy Another we 'd love so. Its walls are worked artistically, With outlines large and bold, But why in the winter must it be So very, very, cold? The pupils are a lively bunch, The teachers aren't so slow. And as for the daily Annex Lunch, It 's the best there is, I know. We have a well filled library, With most interesting books. And the Office and Assembly, Are not so bad on looks. In Nineteen twenty-five or so, I hope my class will say, I hate to graduate and go. But we'll come back so me day. Velma LiTCHPmiD, '25.
