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

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.

'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.

THE CHIMES 23 the team, in studying the rules and discussing various points of importance. Some hard practice has been put into this game by the squad, which consists of the greater part of the girls. Every one of them is anxious to get on the team. The results shown so far are very encouraging. It is hoped that the squad will produce a snappy team, and will be able to stand any other basket ball team representing a school of this size. The girls are showing good spirit and are co-operating readily in forming a team. Catherine Murphy, '26. SCITUATE HIGH VS. DUXBURY HIGH The boys' basketball five scored their first victory Mon- day night, January 25, when they defeated the Duxbury quintet by a score of 20-19. The boys found it hard, at first, to get the ball through the lanky boys from Duxbury. As a result the first ten minutes of play found Duxbury in the lead. In the second quarter, however, the Scituate boys got their eyes on the hoop and scored enough baskets to put them in the lead. The Duxbury boys caged a few baskets them- selves and the end of the half found Scituate leading by two points. During the third quarter the teams played about evenly and the score stood seventeen all. The next period Duxbury caged another basket, but Scituate also found the hoop for another one. Scituate also caged a foul shot, which later proved to be the winning point.
