THE CHIMES 21 THE JUNIOR SCRIBBLERS The Junior Scribblers is the name of the Junior Com- mercial Class. This name was chosen because, as one of the members remarked, ComnXercial work is nothing but scribbling anyway. At the first meeting the following officers were elected: Hazel Eaton President Rose Hernan Vice-President Catherine Murphy Secretary Marguerite O'Hern Treasurer Gladys Wheeler Reporter for the Chimes The purpose of this club is to promote further interest in the Commercial work. The club members are planning to give a little play in the near future in the Assembly Hall, and rehearsals are already under way. G. L. W. '26 THE FROLIC The Frolic, which was presented by the Scituate High School combined glee clubs, was exceptionally good consider- ing that the players were only High School students. The costumes were designed by the art classes and made by the household arts and pageantry classes. The students co-operated heartily in preparing for the show, and had much enjoyment in doing this work. The Boys' Glee Club gave the first part of the performance, an act entitled Ship Ahoy. It was a burlesque on Pinafore with the addition of songs arranged by Miss Bradford, our super- visor of music. During the second part of the boys' performance the smaller boys of the Glee Club came in cleverly disguised as girls. Some of the people in the audience were completely deceived until the last part of the performance, when the boys took of£ their hats and wigs. During the intermission some of the girls, who acted as ushers, sold candy and favors to the audience. The proceeds from the candy and favors covered the expenses of scenery and costuming. The girls' part of the performance came next. It was called Frills and Frolics. The opening number was Memory Lane; while the harmony girls sang, the rosebud kiddies danced. In the background, the queen of the show, attended by four colonial boys, sat on a large throne. Then in order of appearance came the end women, the swag- ger girls, a minuet by the colonial boys and harmony maidens.

20 THE CHIMES one year, and that of the beginning student. The music department was represented by the Glee Clubs and the Or- chestra under the direction of Miss Bradford. Several draw- ings and costumes were hung upon the walls to show what is being done in Mrs. Ward s art classes. The students left at 3.30, and the members of the Woman's Club conducted their usual meeting. Under Miss Pierson's direction, a Latin Club is being or- ganized which will meet every Monday afternoon. It will be unusually interesting to the Latin students and especially to the classes studying Csesar and Cicero as it is to be organized as a Roman Republic and presided over by Roman officers. As yet the officers have not been chosen, but the club will be well under way in a few weeks. During the last few days, lockers have been installed in both the girls' and boys' basements. They are amply large and will be very convenient, especially for various athletic teams which have had no place for their equipment up to this time. :(c 4: H« ii! Perhaps at present we are not as interested in watching the development of our school library as we were last year, but we should know that books are being added from time to time by interested townspeople. Mrs. George Welch, who has given so many interesting and valuable books for use in the school, has added to their number by copies of Types of the Essay' by Heydrick and How the Other Half Lives by Riis. The Woman's Club, which has also helped in the project of a school library has given twenty-four volumes of Hawthorne's works. Alice Sexton has given two volumes of essays and novels by the same author. Another useful addition has been The World's Story in fifteen volumes, which was received from the town of Scituate early this year. The High School should feel fortunate in being able to hear Mr. Corey's fine talk a few weeks ago, on The Will to Win. Mr. Corey spoke simply but forcibly and outlined clearly the needed qualities for success in school, in college, and in life. Mr. Corey, who represents Burdett's Business College, has spoken here before, and the students are looking forward to hearing him again soon. H« 4e « The art room is very interesting now, and is open to stud- ents outside of the art classes and townspeople who are inter- ested in the work being done. The walls are almost entirely covered with various kinds of work — sketches, both original and copied, portrait work and posters. Ray Ellis, '26.

22 THE CHIMES Then there weire more jokesy a song and dance entitled ' 'Member When, and the finale. Mrs. Ward, Miss Barrows and Miss Bradford were pre- sented with bouquets from the students in appreciation of their help and co-operation in arranging the performance. The proceeds from the show covering all expenses was two hundred and fifty dollars. This money went to the Athletic Association. We certainly hope that the public enjoyed this show, and that they will be looking forward to the next en- tertainment which is to be given soon by the High School. Rose Hernan.

GIRLS' ATHLETICS Girls' Basketball A means has been found to shorten the long tedious hours of the winter months for the girls of the Scituate High School by organizing a basketball team. This is the first year that basketball has been played by the girls, and it is being taken up with great interest. The manager elected was Anna Conant. Gretch Schyler was appointed as assistant mana- ger. Catherine Murphy was chosen as leader until a captain could be chosen by the team. These managers have already scheduled games with other schools. A great deal of time is being spent by those going out for
