Class spirit is that wdiich makes us toil to have an out- standing class. It makes us go into the activities of plays, Slippers, parties, and sales to make money for the class and to show the W ' Orld and the rest of the school that our class is superior in energy and potency to any class in the school. School spirit is that which makes us support our school and its works. It makes us endeavor to have a school which is superior to any school in the section in its different ac- tivities. We go out and strive to make the athletic teams. If we are not capahle of heing a cog in any of these ma- chines, then we are good losers; we go out and cheer, sup- port, and encourage these teams to the best of our ability. That is school s])irit. Occasionally, as I have said, the two conflict. I will cite an example. A play is given by a class. Three members of the cast are regular football players. These three members cannot go out to football practice every afternoon because they have rehearsals. The football team, having to use green material, loses games that it might have won wath the three regulars present. The school loses its prestige on the athletic field. The class play is a success. The class becomes more popular; but at what price; the losing of the athletic name of their school, their Alma Mater. The price is too great. Just think, you have a lifetime for plays, but you have only four short years for your school. THE CHIMES 7 Use them well. Class spirit is a great thing , but school spirit is much greater. Therefore when the two conflict, give up the lesser for the greater and you will never regret it. A PLEA TO ALL SCITUATE HIGH STUDENTS John Jakubens, ' 32 We have a new building and a new gym. Are we going to fill that gym with cheers next winter when Scituate High goes on the basket ball court? You bet we are. Every boy and girl in school can lend something to dear old Scituate High. If we can ' t lend material for the athletic teams, we can give support from the sidelines. We should- n ' t be half-hearted about our cheering; we should all be pre- sent at the games, cheering our teams on. The girls and boys aren ' t playing for themselves; they are playing for the good of the school, and half the game is won by support. Eor the past two or three years, Scituate High School has not had very good support. Why can ' t we all attend the games? No distance is too far to go to cheer our school on. If we lose, no one can say that we haven ' t done our part if we were at the sidelines. If we aren ' t interested in our team, why should the players be? They are playing for the school and we should be supporting them. Come to every athletic contest and help us win for Scit- uate High. SCHOOL SPIRIT Mary Stewart, ' 30 Strive Sacrifice Cooperate Participate Help Impel Offer Respect Originate Include Love Tackle I wonder why it is thought that School Spirit no longer exists among the boys and girls of today? Is it truly so, or is it merely that we do not exhibit our feelings ? To have the poper school spirit you must strive, — strive to help your school in various ways ! Pay your class and A. A. dues, boost your school, contribute to the Chimes, and keep up in your studies. Cooperation is necessary. You must cooperate with 3 ' our teachers by knowing your lessons and thus by making their 8 THE CHIMES work easier; can help your school l)y boosting it to outsiders. Jt you have not already ])een doing your best — originate. Originate school spirit. Lo e your school. Without love you cannot do your best for it. A thing done because you feel it to be your duty is not as well done as one which } ou do out of love and re- spect for a person or thing. If necessary you should sacrifice some things for your school. You may have to sacrifice a night at the movies in order to pay your class dues, but in the end you will not regret it. Participate in all things you can. Anyone athletically inclined should participate in sports. Participate, too, in your class activities. Impel yourself to do your best in your studies and any office which you may hold. Respect your teachers and your school. Little can be done for a person not respecting anything or anyone worthy of this tribute. Include everyone in your list of friends. Personality is one of your greatest assets. Tackle all work with an ambition and desire to reach the top. A BOOK REVIEW Dorothy MacDonald, ' 31 ' ' Lincoln, an interesting biography, was written by Emil Ludwig. This stor3 -portrait of Lincoln is very realistic. It shows a Lincoln of many moods, — Lincoln gay, happy, careworn, depressed, angry, loving, and humiliated. One can come to know him better — even if one thinks he knows all there is about him — through reading this delight- ful biography. Ludwig does not dwell on historical facts that we can get in any good Hbrary if we hunt for history. He tries to emphasize the fact that Lincoln was human. He had his faults, his ideas, his mottoes, and his ambitions. He had enemies as well as friends. Ludwig visited the birthplace and other places where Lincoln had lived. Erom neighbors and relatives he learned of some very amusing and pathetic incidents in the life of Lincoln. In this biography Ludwig just touches on historical events when they are necessary for his subject to be better under- stood. THE CHIMES 9 HANNAH ' S REVOLT Kathryn Dorr, ' 31 What, you ain ' t a-going? Why, Hannah Jones, do you mean to sit there and tell me you ain ' t a-going! It ' ll be the time of your life! Why, just think of it, going on a great big boat to New York to visit your daughter! Course you ' re going. No, Hettie, Hiram says there ain ' t no sense of a woman of my age to go gallivanting around. He says I ' ve always been a home-loving person and he doesn ' t see wdiy I have to start now. Anyhow he ' s planning to go to see about hiring another man for the harvesting and that wall make more work. He says he isn ' t going to waste money on me that he can use for hiring a man to help him. Lord sakes ! how many more men is he going to hire? He ' s got four now. There ' s more work for yer. But you ain ' t a-going to do it; I tell yer you ' re going to New York But Hiram says — You never mind Hiram. You ' ve listened to him for the last thirty years, and I guess it ' s about time you had your own way. Hannah, you get ready to go. You get yer things packed. You gotta revolt some day and you might as well start now. Well, goodbye. You be a-thinking it over and get ready. Goodbye. But, Hettie — She was gone leaving Hannah in a bewildered state of mind. Would she dare to do it? To go against Hiram, whose word had always been law in her house? But she hadn ' t any money, only what little she had saved from sell- 10 THE CHIMES ing- eg-g-s last summer. She went over to the sideboard and took down the cracked sugar l)owl, which hekl her hard earned money. Counting it, she found she had just exactly forty- four dollars. It wasn ' t much to be sure l)ut enough for her fare. But she ' d promised Hiram he could have it toward the fund for his new chicken house. She had never been away in all her married life except, once when she went to the country fair when the children were small and then it had been more work than pleasure. Hiram had been promising- her ever since they had been married that they ' d go on a trip someday, but that some- day had never come. She put the dinner on to cook and then she we nt into her little bedroom and began to pack her shabby clothes. By dniner time she had packed. During dinner she tried to evade Hiram because her con- science made her feel a bit uneasy. Almost all he talked about was what kind of hired man he wanted and about the chicken house. Just after the meal he asked Hannah for the money so he could order the lumber for the chicken house. Hannah didn ' t know what to do. She couldn ' t give it to him. She made some kind of mumbled excuse and he went out grum- bling. How could she tell him ! She kept putting it off all the afternoon. Finally at sup- per she told him — Er, Hiram, I ' m going to New York. I ' m going tomor- row morning early. You ' ll have to shift for yourself for the next two weeks, hired men or no hired men. I ' ve de- cided and nobody — not even you — can stop me. ' ' WHiy, Hannah you ' re only fooling; aintcha? Why, you can ' t go off and leave me with a new man coming and har- vesting to be done ! Besides where are you going to get the money? ' I ' m going to take my egg money, Hiram Jones. You aren ' t going to have it for the chicken house. I earned it myself and it ' s mine to do what I want with it. ' ' Why, Hannah, what ' s happened to yer? I have never seen you act like this before. What ' s got into you? You ain ' t ailing; l)e you? ' ' No, I ' m not ailing , Hiram Jones. I just woke up to the fact that I haven ' t had that trip we ' ve been going to take foT the last thirty years. I guess it ' s about time I did THE CHIMES 11 tcike it. Doing all your work since we ' ve been married, without a vacation. Yessir, I ' m going! I ' m going tomor- rom. I ' ve got my bag all packed and everything — At this point she burst out crying. It was too much for her. It was the first time she had dared to speak like that to her husband. Hiram wasn ' t exactly one to be feared but he had a certain air about him that made one feel rather uneasy in his presence. Why, Hannah, don ' t cry. I didn ' t know you cared so much as all that about it. Why, I guess we can go. W e can get Susie Whittaker to come over and keep house for the men. I guess I won ' t hire another man yet, and the chicken house can go; — I don ' t exactly need it. Wdiat do you mean wc? You ' re not going; are you? Why, Hiram! ' ' ' Well, now I guess it w on ' t do any hurt; will it? X-no, but you haven ' t enough money. Oh, don ' t w orry aljout that. I guess I can dig up enough. You go ahead and pack my bag. And, Hannah, you might send her a telegram so she ' ll be expecting us. ' Y-yes Hiram. Hiram ' s word had ruled a ain. FRIEND CHICKADEE Charles Colman, ' 32 A sharp little chirp chirp comes from a tree On the clear cold winter ' s air, Miich tells me that friend chickadee Is out for his daily fare; And from a snow y l ranch he chirps, Friend chickadee is here. Fie flits about from branch to branch AWthout the slightest fear; And chirps to me the whole day long With all his merry cheer To tell the whole fantastic w orld, Friend chickadee is here. And when the blust ' ry winter gale Has left it cold and bleak, And all the life has left the trail To seek some warm retreat, I still can hear the chirp chirp chirp Friend chickadee is here. 12 THE CHIMES A SEA TALE Charles Shiiltz, ' 33 ' ' Come on, Grandpa, please tell us a story about a ship wrecked at sea, pleaded Jack and Jane. ' 11, to tell you for the last time, I have no tale to tell you that you haven ' t already heard, but nevertheless I will endeavor to tell you the story of how the good ship Booth weathered one of the most severe storms that happened on the Atlantic in 1917. ' ' The ship, an old bark, was commanded by Captain Ed- ivard H. Booth for whom the boat was named. ' ' Edward Booth, nicknamed Ed, was a strong, sturdy, vell-built man of fifty-three, who had sailed in all the sev- en seas, and knew every knot there ever was. He was bound for the West Indies with a cargo of lum- ber, and had put to sea the morning of January 15, 1917 with ten men. The weather was calm for the first two or three days, but as they came further down the coast, the weather grew colder until the thermometer dropped to zero. The sky darkened and the rain l egan to fall just as Mother Nature drew the curtain over the sun. All the sails were ordered down except the main sail and foresail. ' ' The storm broke at 7.15 p. m. and lasted until the next morning. During that time, three of the masts had been ripped away, and what sails were left were of no use. The storm began with a light breeze that rose to a severe gale; next came the thunder and lightning, then rain, turning to hail stones, and then to a driving sleet. They shot off guns and found that they had drifted many miles off their course. At midnight the second mate came in and reported that he had seen a light off the starboard side. The captain looked at his compass and then at his chart, and ordered the w4ieel hard over, but it was too late. The ship struck Harding ' s Ledge off the Boston Light. The waves pounded on the side of the boat; the remaining two masts were ripped off, ind the ship sank w-ith all hands. ' ' That was the story of the ship Booth that sailed the win- try sea that night of January 18, 1917. Gee ! That sure was a good story, exclaimed Jack. You bet it was, Grandpa, said Jane. ll, now you have heard the story, you must go to bed because you have to go to school tomorrow. Good-night. THE CHIMES TO DO OR NOT TO DO Her1)ert Dwyer, ' 30 To do, or not to do ! that is the question : Whether ' tis nol)ler in the mind to suffer The D ' s and E s of outrageous lessons Or to take pens against pages of French And by doing so end them ? To work : to study No more ; and by an A to say we end The heart- ache and the thousand parental shocks That offsprings are heir to; ' tis a report card Devoutly to be wished. To work ; to study To study; perchance to finish, — Aye there ' s the rub; For in that trial of finishing, what daydreams may come When we have trotted off to school, Must give us pause; there ' s the respect That makes dreary so long a day. P or who would bear the gibes and words of teachers, The pupil ' s wrong, the proud boy ' s detention The pangs of despised chem, the test ' s delay The insolence of marks, and the torture That patient merit of the worthy takes When he himself his lilieration might make. But that the thought of something worse than school, The unknown working world from whose dread bourne No school pupil returns, puzzles the will, And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? DAW N Frances Alexander, ' 31 The dawn comes up in silence In a beautiful silvery blue And over the whole dominion Spreads many a different hue. The cock in the distance is crowing And the ground is covered with dew x s there on the waves of the ocean The dawn creeps slowly through. 14 THE CHnrES MARY LOU REFORMS R uth Damon. ' 31 Mar}- Lou was a verv niodern -oiini;- lach ' . She liked sports and danciiii ' and she was the bestest httle singer for miles around. She was the small ])etite type. Her gold red curls went just perfectly, according to the style, around her head. She perhaps overdid her type a little. She al- ways wore long dangling ear rings. Her dresses had been extremely short. l)ut now that the style had changed, they were extremely long. At a party lary Lou was always the center of attraction, — not just because she was pretty, for really there were prettier girls there, but because she was always lively and h.appy and care free. She owned a low-slung vermillion roadster and she never was in it but there was a crowd with her. Xow lary Lou was a senior in high school; she was to graduate the coming summer. When she graduated, she told her friends she was going to business college. They laughed at her and told her that the only business she would learn would be to stay home and enjoy life. ] Iary Lou had organized a sleigh ride and she was in the best of spirits. Never had they seen her look so happy and snappy as when she was planning it. There were to be two piings of the Gang going. AMiat a good time they had that night. There were about forty of them, all laughing and telling jokes and singing. Some one had a banjo; others, ukes ; and Bill, a live wire, a sax. But in the midst of all this. Alary Lou was imusually quiet. They all took it as a joke and kidded her as the evening wore on and she continued so. Finally, Bill, her old pal, sought her out. after first turning his howler over to some one else. W hat ' s the matter. Lou? ' ' he asked quietly. ' ' Oh, I don ' t know. Alary sighed, glad to have some one to talk seriously to. Before we left, I happened to pick up the paper and I read an article that just set me to thinking. But Fll be all right. She attempted a smile, but it broke piti- fully. You know. Bill, she said, Fve been thinking and L ve decided to quit this life and be more sedate and do some studying. Oh, come on. Snap out of it. Bill said; you know you will get the valedictory as it is. But no one could brighten Alary Lou up. THE CHIMES 15 At a party a nig ' ht or two after, Mary Lou appeared — and such a Mary Lou. Gone were the high heels and the ear rings. Gone was the long- flop])y skirt, for a simple, dress of medium length. And last hut not least, gone was the happy smile. A rather wistful one had taken its place. There was no douht about it; Mary Lou had reformed. She certainly had been doing some heavy thinking. She sat quietly in a big chair beside the fire-place, and by her- self. No amount of coaxing could get her to give her us- ual exhibition dance and song. A month passed and Mary Lou ' s marks in school gradu- ally rose. But her spirits sunk. Her friends stood it as long as they could. They simply could not get along with- out Mary Lou. WHiy, she must be going dippy! they said among them. At last Mary Lou broke, too. She would drop this role she was playing and be herself. But she would keep on with her studying and she would get that valedictory. At the next party, she arrived and all the fellows and girls exclaimed with wonder and admiration. She had gone back to the long skirts and the high heels, and never had her ear rings been so long. Her hair was short and in ringlets, and never l efore had her smile been so gay and beautiful. Well, we ' re glad you came to and decided to live, they cried. So am L Come on, gang, she cried. The article said that the younger generation w as terrible but I think it is darn good. And she ran to the center of the floor and started the Breakaway rolling. DAWN Louise Nichols, ' 31 Where the early dawn is breaking And the shadows swiftly flee, The sun its course is making On every leaf and tree. ' Tis there that w e awaken To a new and sparkling world. To find the night ' s forsaken And the sun its flag unfurled. 16 TTIE CHIMES A SPRINC; DAY IN THE WOODS Helen Spear, ' 33 What ciicliantiiii ' sounds 1 hear as I walk through the V(H)(ls! 1 stand erect for a moment to listen. I hear a little ]]rook hahhling- merrily toward the sea. It seems to invite nie to drink of its clear water and dip my feet in it ' this warm spring day. I hear the leaves of oak and hirch trees rustling as a gentle hreeze passes through them. I move on a short distance, l)ut pause to listen as a small hird calls to his mate. He calls in an anxious tone and, as he does not hear his mate, he calls again. Receiving no answer this time, he flies away, deciding that she has gone else- where. W alking on, I come to some pine trees whispering to each other as the crows caw loudly over their heads. As I move father on, dry twigs crackle under my feet. Hark! what is that sweet tone breaking through the stillness of the for- est? It is a songster clearly singing his spring song to his audience, the babbling blook, the rustling trees, and the whis- pering pines. Perhaps the pines are wdiispering about his beautiful song. How much nicer in the springtime are Nature ' s sounds than those of the city! THE CRY OE SPRING Jeanette Nichols, ' 31 What is it that makes us smile sometimes. When other times we ' d sigh, When the bright red sun has risen above And the earth ' wakes with the cry? Why is it on a bright spring morn, We wake and are happy and gay, And shout with gladness all day long ' Til the very last sign of clay? The reason is this as you may have guessed. That spring brings nothing but cheer; The flowers, the birds, nature and all Seem to awake and hear. So let us, when we start to frown. Remember that spring is here, And set to work with a willing hand That will drive away all fear. THE CHIMES 17 HEAPS OTHINGS Esther Perry, ' 32 Even when Shonnie was a very Httle girl she ' d had an utterly mad streak that cropped out now and then in the form of preference for the rough warmness of the crazy carpet under the huge side board in the living room, to the inviting pillow s of the divan. Grown-up talk interested her immensely, and she ' d sit, wide-eyed, on a hard, extremely uncomfortable chair for hours on end listening gravely, until that inevitable ogre, Sleep, crept out of the shadows in the chimney corner and claimed its due. Then — away to the den under the side board and — what price sleep? A queer young un her grandfather labeled her. A brown paper bag of lobster claws and a spare hour never failed to find her ensconced in the leafiest, most hid- den bower of the apple tree, meditating gravely or reading one of the most grotesque of fairy tales. And now — now that she is seventeen and to all appear- ances a sane and sensible being, she is madder still ! Why only last week I chanced to drop in at her house and as it was raining, a bitter soul-searing downpour, I stretched my damp legs more than gratefully toward the hot blaze that ripped up the chimney place. In ten minutes ' time Shonnie, the mad, appeared on the stair landing. And such a Shonnie ! A ragged tuck-in sweater peeped unashamed between the lapels of a faded green slicker. Pulled low over the turned-up nose and concealing a lone freckle that struggled gravely for existence on its bridge, was a hat — one such as you had never imagined existed ; a black hat, a tipsy, scowling, battered flat hat with an air of having been jammed to the farthest depths of a smelly ragbag and resurrected in a moment of compassion, or hasty need. Shonnie grinned unabashed and continued to plod down the stairs toward me. With each bold step I became more acutely conscious of her shoes ! Why, they flipped and flapped and wavered uncertainly in their descent; and when at last they gained the bottom step, I observed that they reared their heads and growled and squeaked menacingly at the mere thought of even one more tramp. Surely a walk of any length at all would completely annihilate these poor soles, I reflected. ALLEN MEMORIAL LIBRARY - SGIIUAIE. MASS. 18 THE CHIMES With another oamin i rin and a ban of the front door Shonnie was off — and the quite resi)ectal)le i)ur])le nmhrel- hi that stood in the corner 1)y the door rustled rather in- dignantly, as a woman scorned. I watched the swini ino- progress of the fool-hardy girl as she i)ace(l off up the street, and wondered musingly if there hadn ' t been a roguish l anshee abroad the day she was created. When, after two hours of incessant downpour, I heard a shout kitchenward, a whack of wet rubber on the floor, and the shower of shaken raindrops on smooth tiles, I ambled thence and beheld Shonnie shaking raindrops from her eyelashes and wriggling soaked stocking feet out of the martyred shoes. The moody, discontented frown that had sat so unbecom- ii;igly on her young face was gone, and in its place was a completely cherul ic smile. Why, the shine of her, the wdiole-hcarted wave and glow of her, and the gay kink in her sopping hair quite took my breath away. I found myself wondering uneasily about that banshee — he could- n ' t have been such an awful dud after all — a bit tempera- mental perhaps, but he certainly had an eye for the lighten- ing of eyes and the curl of a smile! And then— that very night, as though I hadn ' t already had enough of sheer nonsense, — as I w as puffing across the street after having mailed a letter in the corner box, I heard the scrunch of snow under light feet and out of the ])erfect blizzard that was howling in my face, came Shonnie, brown throat open to the gale and glowing face adrip with melt- ing crystals. And as though already her small feet weren ' t thoroughly soaked, she scuffed — actually scuffed — in the drifted snowM I shook my head wonderingly and asked her rather humbly (for surely such happiness as hers isn ' t to be scorned) what she saw in all this — roaming around the square in a snow storm getting soaking wet and scar- ing people to death? She laughed, did Shonnie, and I could have sworn that the banshee w-as there for how else did that lilt rise? Shonnie linked her arm in mine and answered, What do I see, Dee? Oh — heaps o ' things! And she included in a gesture the mounds and heaps of downy snow that lay piled on the dim landscape. Um, ' ' I heard the banshee chuckle. Yes, ice palaces and gnome ' s houses, hidden fairy ruins and — as you can very plainly see ' Heaps o ' things ! ! ! ' ' THE CHIMES 19 MY DOG Elizabeth Willard, ' 30 My dog is what people commonly call a ' ' mongrel ' ' or a yellow cur. ' ' He, being a mixture of collie and German police, is subject to these insulting names and many others. Even if he is a cheesehound, he can roll over for a piece of cake if you keep at him long enough. The thing he does most easily is sitting up with his paws on the tal)le tc ask for his tea or coffee. No doubt this helps him to be more of a mongrel as no aristocratic dog would drink — tea or coffee. His greatest achievement is singing. When there is company at home, Dad is sure to ask me to make that dog sing. No one else has enough breath. I will sing an octave higher than any prima donna ever sang; my face gets as red as a cooked beet; and still that foolish dog sits at my feet, cocking his ears and head and looking up into my face, no doubt wondering why I make such a jack ' ' of myself. When at last he joins me, his voice sounds like a fog horn. Our two voices do not blend harmonious- ly. Trying to get that doggie to sing is worse than trying to start our car on a cold winter ' s morn. But just the same I would not sell my mongrel pup for any amount of money. APRIL Barbara Knox, ' 33 April showers are coming; Winter winds have gone; Soon will be the blue birds From their winter home. Then the buds will open In the sunny air; To all the little garden folks. So merry and so fair. THE CHIMES Paul Bresnahan, ' 33 C is for its contents that didn ' t come from Rome, H is for the happiness the Chimes brings to your home, I is for the interest that in it scholars take, M is for the make-up, like frosting on a cake. E is for endorsers who bought at our behest, S is for the students who contributed their best. 20 THE CHBIES W ' AITIXG Harriet Pierce, ' 31 Imagine yourself, for a few minutes, to l)e waiting- for a friend on a Inisy street corner in a large city. Peo])le are hurrying- to and fro like a swarm of bees, each intent upon his own business and not paying the slightest attention to you. You arrive, we will suppose, a few minutes early, hoping that you will not have to wait long ' . At first you amuse yourself by noticing the different people that pass by, wheth- er they are rich or poor, sad or happy, and whether they are of the working or leisure class. You soon tire of this oc- cupation. Then you begin to watch the clock opposite or your wrist watch, both of which show you the correct time. She, your friend, must surely arrive now, you say to your- self. It is almost past the time appointed, — and you shift your weight to the other foot. You begin to scan the various faces carefully now for a glimpse of a familiar face, but none appears. Then you are actually nervous. You watch the clock anxiously, compar- ing it with your watch, — but then, she said that she might be a few minutes late. Probably she was unavoidably de- tained at the last second, you try to reassure yourself. That must be the reason, but it couldn ' t take this long. You are not so sure. It is then that your mind follows a flight of wild imagin- ings. Perhaps she has been run over and has been taken to a hospital, seriously hurt. ] Iay1)e she is terribly ill. ] [ayl)e — but you can ' t even think of the horrible things that might have happened. Oh, a sigh of relief escapes unconsciously. She is com- ing now. You can just barely see her smiling face through the crowd. All unconscious of your anxiety, she hurries toward you saying that she hopes you haven ' t been waiting very long. She was just talking with an old friend, whom she hadn ' t seen for years. You smile and say that it was all right. How we cause ourselves unnecessary torture by Avorrying and lack of patience ! It isn ' t worth the toll it takes. ] Ir.

THE CHIMES 21 My Story from the Painting THE END OF THE TRAIL Ellen Merritt, ' 33 Probably everyone has seen the painting The End of the Trail. This painting has been copied by other artists but the real painting itself is beautiful. It is symbolic of the Indians ' last stand. It is a picture of an Indian mounted one a brown horse whose head is lowered and tail drooped. The Indian has a spear under his arm and his head is lower- ed as if he were praying for help as he realizes that he has no chance of seeing his friends again. The Indian and the horse are on what seems to be the top of a mountain or a cliff at sunset. The sky has the most beautiful colors of the rainbow in it. The picture itself is really a story and all people may have different opinions as to what it means. The story which I derive from this painting seems to me what it really means; but, of course your ideas may be dif- ferent. My story is as follows : About two hundred or more years ago, the Indians had a struggle with the white people of this country. This was most likely on account of the white people ' s driving the Indians back and cutting down their trees for the build- ing of houses. The white people also killed the animals and wild birds which caused them to decrease. The Indians having stood this long enough, became angry, and they decided to fight for their own rights. The setting of this would probably be in New Hampshire, near the mountains or near the ocean. The battle was started by the Indians attacking the white people on a bright summer afternoon. They fought all the afternoon, the white people holding the victories. They had killed many of the Indians, and those not killed were scattered away from the rest. In the middle of the afternoon, the white people w ere fighting against nine brave Indians. This struggle did not last long; all of the Indians but one had been killed. This one got onto one of the horses, and was riding away when he was shot by one of the white men, which later caused his death. He rode on and on, until at sunset, he reached the top of a mountain which he loved. In his younger life, he had played at this very spot and he had planned to be buried there. He halted the horse and took his last look at the beautiful scenery, as he knew he was dying. He patted the horse which had 22 THE CHIMES hronoln him up here taithfiill)- and safely. After this he lowered his head, and prayed to the Great Spirit in the Indian lani nai e, and asked him to help these men, and to repay the wliite peoi)le for what they had done to the In- dians. As it darkened, from the foot of the mountain the other Indians saw the hgure on the horse. They knew who it was and they all prayed for the Indian who had come to the end of his life and also to the end of the trail.

THE CHIMES 23 HOW THE GRAND CANYON GOT THAT WAY Robert Bresnahan, ' 30 Now, children, pull your chairs up closer and I will tell you how the Grand Canyon of Colorado came to be. Many thousands of years ago, before the Great Glacier came, this earth was populated by people who were just as intelligent as we are. The people who lived where we do today called themselves Americans and John Smith was just as popular a name then as it is now. These people v ere great cheese eaters. They ate slices of new cheese instead of bread. For dessert, they ate cheese that was five or ten years old and for Christmas dessert they ate fifty- year-old cheese. One day John Smith decided that he would make a cheese and keep it until it was the oldest one in the world. Of course he knew that he couldn ' t eat the cheese himself but he meant that cheese to be an heirloom to be passed on from generation to generation until it was five hundred years old. John did his work well and the cheese was a masterpiece. His sons and grandsons were very faithful about taking care of it; but each grandson, as he came to own it, had a more difficult task because even a fifty year old cheese has a rather powerful odor. On its three hundredth birthday, John Smith, 10th, donned his rubber suit and gas mask and moved the cheese from its lead case to a nice new steel one. The lead case was badly corroded and hardly a fit place for such a noble cheese. On its four hundredth birthday, a man in a deep sea diving outfit poured it into a glass lined marble box for the cheese was almost liquid by then. The suit fell off the poor man before he could get far enough away and he died immediately. At last the day arrived. The cheese was five hundred years old. This time a me- chanical man put the cheese into a granite box lined with glass and steeL The robot put the cheese in its case, into a radio-controlled airplane; and the president of the United States pressed the button that was to send the plane and its terrible cargo half way across the Pacific ocean and all the way to the bottom. But, the cheese was getting stronger every minute. It made a small hole in the side of the box and a drop fell out. It landed on a new steel and concrete railroad bridge just three minutes before the fast express did. There were only two survivors of that most mysteri- ous train wreck. By that time the glass and steel were 24 THE CHIMES completely dissolved and the g ' ranite was half gone. The plane then hegan to hit on only seventeen of its twenty-one cylinders. The president noticed this, and fearing that the cheese wonld fall ont on some city, he changed the course to due south. He was just in time. The cheese ate a hole thru the granite and hegan to spill out. There was a series of tremendous explosions as the (Iroi)s hit the ground. Great holes — some of them over a mile deep and all of them connected — appeared in the earth l elow. For two hundred and seventeen miles, the plane continued to fly, and then as there were only nine cylinders left, it fell. After the Great Glacier came, a river started to flow through this series of holes and soon evened them off so that they resemhled one long trench. Scientists today will tell vou that the river made the canyon, but you and I know better. SPRING Winifred Bartington, ' 33 WHiat makes us want to laugh and smile? What make our hearts to ring? Vhat makes us stop and play awhile? W ' hy! ' Tis the thrill of Spring. We hear the frogs in loud applause. We hear the robins sing. The wood is full of life, because It is awak ' ning Spring. The crocuses stick up their heads, The wild rose fragrance brings, The violets leave their wintry beds. Just because it ' s Spring. The trees show signs of ' wakened life And shelter the blue bird ' s wing. The world forgets all war and strife In the joyousness of Spring. There ' re smiles on all the faces. The towns with laughter ring. Of sorrow there ' re no traces, Because it ' s happy Spring. THE CHIMES 25 IE I WERE QUEEN Alwilda Hendrickson, ' 30 Often the words, If I were king, have heen repeated but I shall say, If were queen — . In an old, medieval castle on a mountain top, where the white clouds nestle and rest half-way between earth and sky, is the seat of my regal supremacy. The ascent to the castle is steep and impassable. In the distance, as I can see while out floating in my magic chair, is the most beau- tiful sight that ever the eyes of man have beheld. The slope is green, shading at evening to purple and blue, dotted with faintly perfumed roses, whose thorny stem render my stronghold so inaccessible. The castle, though old, per- fects the scene, and an air of mystery pervades the atmos- phere. Turning my chair homeward, I arrive at the castle gate and float lightly over. The door opens, attended by a trustworthy guard clothed in purple velvet with a jeweled cap. I am carefully lifted from the chair and proceed to go by a golden elevator to my boudoir. Once within, I re- cline on the pale cream satin lounge with a cobwebby cover- let thrown across me, while my beautiful glass slippers are removed. A perfume of orchids fills the air and I know without looking that the Prince Orlando of Andromania has paid his daily tribute. Lanquidly I reach for the silver box which is constantly filled wnth violet-scented chocolates and raspberry bon bons. In a few minutes I must dress for dinner. Shall it be the cerise and black velvet or the dahlia satin? Ah, Marie has brought my yellow taffeta. That will suffice. I descend the curving stairs, regally clothed in a marvel- ous creation. I extend my hand to the Prince — Crash ! Wliat has happened? Did I fall? Ah, w hat a relief — why! where am I ? Dreaming again, I suppose. Yes, and I must finish my home lessons. Queen? Why what are you talking about? Listen if I w ere queen — Miss Elliott (in Com ' l Geography) : What is meant by the term, corn-fed beef?

ANONYMOUS ROBERT BURNS Mary Westington, ' 30 One stormy evening we asked Mother for a story of her travelling experiences and she related this to us. This in- formation she obtained while on her visit to Ireland and Scotland some years ago. She described to us, a wee, stone hunt located in Alloway, a small town on the west coast of Scotland. In this home- like, thatch-roofed cottage on January 25, 1759, Robert Burns was born. On the morning of this great day, it is said that a robin sat on the window sill and sang merrily. Thus the child was given his name; for by his parents and friends he was known as Robin. His home was a crude little dwelling. It was very long and rather low. The floor was made of stone. The fur- niture was of the plainest kind, and in one corner stood the iron crane which held the kettles over the open fireplace. Robin ' ' lived and grew much the same as the other THE CHIMES 27 children in this Httle village until the time came for h ' im to go to school. The school was another low-thatched cot- tage. Alost of the teachers at this time were men masters and many of them were very stern. Each day opened with a short devotional service. One morning while all the children ' s heads were bowed and all was very still, a curious intruder came down the rope which tolled the bell. After the service was over, the school-master offered a prize to the child who would write the best verse on the incident. To some of the little folks this was a huge task but Burns was not troul:!led with the assignment. In a short time his poem was finished and he had captured the honors. His poem was much longer 1)ut only these few lines are remembered : The rat that had no better stairs, Came down the rope to hear prayers. And so this lad li ' ed and grew until we know him as one of the celebrities of his country. He did much to ennol)le the humble, Scottish peasant ' s life. After he had joined the better class of people, he was seen talking to a K)or man with shal3by clothes one day. Upon being reprimanded for association with such a man, Burns said ' Tis not the clothes that make the man. ' ' THE AIRPLANE AS A WAR WEAPON George Lowell, ' 31 There appeared in one of our local newspapers recently, a series of articles written by General Mitchell, a famous authority on aircraft, in which he discussed the future pos- sibilities of airplane warfare and ridiculed the United States to a certain extent because of the unpreparedness of this country for the use of air forces in future wars. A hen we stop to consider, we can see that the L ' nited States has not any too many fighting aircraft. It is true that we have wonderful coast defense, mammoth guns, anti- aircraft guns, super-dreadnoughts of the sea, tanks, mach- ine guns, and other war equipment that was used in the past World War. But what good wall all these do against huge bombing planes capable of launching with deadly accuracy a bomb of two-ton weight filled with high explosives and deadly gases? The most powerful battleship afloat could not withstand this menace. Future wars. General Mitchell says, will be fought entirely from the air. A can see that this is not entirely impossible. 28 THE CHIMES Let us imagine a foreign ])o ver preparing for war against the United States. Great Britain, Japan, Italy, and all the rest have huge air forces to which our country has no equal. Any one of these foreign powers might set sail for our country with their planes safely housed in the huge airplane carriers. They would anchor their fleet one hundred miles or so off our coastline and from jthere they would send out their scouting planes and huge bombers which, loaded with dealy explosives, would fly over the chief cities of the United States and drop the deadly missiles on the unpro- tected occupants. One of these shells, says General Mitchell, would completely annihilate a city. All the anti-aircraft guns and coast defence guns would be helpless before this onslaught. So we can see that there is really something in the theory of this expert. Let us hope, however, that no more wars will menace our country, and bring into ' play that deadly implement of destruction, the airplane. ALUMNI NOTES FROM THE KIBITZER A Magazine Written, Edited and Published by R. Bresnahan, ' 30; E. Dillon, ' 30; H. Dwyer, ' 30 It is with great thankfulness and satisfaction that I have finally heard from our noble Alumni. After years of hard unceasing work, I have at last received word from the three members of that noble body. I, as the Kibitzer Alumni editor, have been w orking since 1950 in an effort to get in communication with them, so that the Kibitzer readers could read of what success each had made of his life. It w as not until 1953 that a letter arrived at the Kibitzer office suite from x lfernageopatheaticowisti, Siberia, stating that Mr. Ernest Dillon, formerly of the Kibitzer staff, was in that city, which we all know is the largest in the world. After receiving this letter we immediately got into commun- ication with Mr. Dillon with the aid of some multi-vibro thought waves. After co-transmitting thought with him I got a lead as to wdiere the other two members were. By 19 ' 55 we found that Mr. Robert Bresnahan was in the city of Lepigwistan in the now frigid equatorial zone. In the early part of 1956 w e located Mr. Herbert Dwyer in Torri- didia, in Antarctia. As we have not developed our thought wave transmis- sion to a very high degree I asked each member to write a letter telling of his life. I have taken pains to recopy each THE CHIMES 29 letter in full, and I hope that the Kihitzer readers will Ije pleased with the information contained in each. L8 E26 Al f ernageopatheatico wi sti , Central Siheria, Fehruary 6, 1953 It is with great pleasure that I have heard from my old friends again. I am, as you probahly know, in Central Siberia. I will tell you something of my home city. It is the largest in the world with a total area of twenty-five square miles and a population of three billion people. (This which I am calling a city is really only an enormous build- ing.) In the center of the building is a small meeting room. The streets of this city, or building as you may wish to call it, are not marked as they are in Scituate for the simple rea- son that there are no streets ; there are only corridors. From the meeting room I have just mentioned the building radi- ates in all directions in the form of a huge cylinder. It rises to a height of three hundred and fifty stories and des- cends into the earth the same distance. From the center to the outmost edge is exactly the same distance as from the earth level to the roof. As you will notice, I have started my letter with L 8 E 36. That corresponds to your street and house number. The markings of the rooms all start from the central meeting room. For instance, where I live the L means lower or subterranean. L 8 means eight stories beneath the surface while E stands for east and E 36 means east thirty-six stor- ies. This system makes everything very easy to find. On top of the city the roof has a ten-foot covering of earth so that agriculture, and all ordinary land conditions exist here. This roof might be compared to a large plot of your country property. Light, ventilation, and electricity generation are all carried on by means of water which is supplied by the rainfall. I will explain the process. All the rainfall which is not ab- sorbed by the earth on the roof is allowed to filter through onto glass sheets which conduct it to a huge reservoir situ- ated on the top floor. This reservoir has access to the di- rect rays of the sun. By a process, which I, myself, will have to modestly admit the inventing of, a preparation put into the water, causes the water to confine the rays of the sun until we wish to make use of them again. Through a 30 THE CHIMES network of ultra- violet-ray-adinitter tu])es, which touch ev- ery room in the city, this water with the conhned hi ht rays is allowed to fall. As the water falls through the tuhes, the liglit rays are diffused e(|ually to all rooms so that every room is lighted at all times hy these light-rays from the sun. These rays also contain their original heat so that all rooms are heated to an ecjual, healthful temperature. Half the energy of falling water is converted into electricity, while the rest of the energy is used in forcing the water hack to the top again. This supply is re-rayed again hy the soluray ])rocess and used again. This falling water also causes air currents whicli completely ventilate the huilding. We ha -e enough excess of the rayed water to carry us through any period in which tlie sun should not appear. I am inven- tor, owner, and general overseer of all this system. I liave now well over two hillion dollars in my , }ersonal for- tune. I am very happy with my wdfe and children, and I hope all of my friends in Scituate are happy too. Yours truly, Ernest Dillon 14 Gogistan Via Lepigwistan, Equatof rigid Kihitzer, Ji- ne 4, 1955 I am very glad to hear from you. I understand you wish to know of my success and surroundings. Well, I shall en- deavor to enlighten you about both. I am now in Equator- frigid which was formerly the warmest place this ' side of H ades, dxit which is now as cold as a girl ' s icy stare. It is all my fault. How can I ever repair my mistake. Oh, the injustice of it all after my trying my l:iest to alleviate the heat of this district, — to get this result. It is indeed terrible. I wnll tell you about it. Miile in school tw enty years ago, I had occasion to give intensive study to the torrid zone. After reading about the disease and suffering caused l:.y the intense heat, I de- cided that my life ' s work would l)e to lessen these people ' s discomfort. ' ith this determination in mind, I embarked for Lepigwistan w ith my personal chemical outfit. I had already determined that this alleviation was to be done by chemical and not by mechanical means. For fifteen years I labored to find a method to lessen this intense heat. Einally I found a way. By mixing three chemicals together, I evolved a gas THE CHIMES 31 which would unite with the air of this zone and form a sort of shield, which would allow the sun ' s rays to penetrate but which would hold back the heat. I found that a small quan- tity of this g ' as did not have the desired effect, but that 1 should have to loose the necessary c|uantity at once. This gas, you must realize, worked only in the case of the torrid zone. The way I figured was that I could collect enough gas and let it go at once; then the earth would become ' Coo ' ler. If the earth became too cool, then the gas that I had evolved would lose some of its properties and allow enough heat to enter to warm the earth to normal. This, as you see, would always keep the earth in a temperate cli- mate. Working on this idea, I evolved my gas and launched it abroad into the atmosphere. Everything went as planned; the gas formed the shield and kept out the heat and the tor- rid zone became gradually cooler. But, alas, the other part of my theory did not work. The earth after cooling below normal did not warm up again as expected; instead, it grew steadily colder. The cold air on the gas I had evolved had caused this gas to unite more firmly with the air. In a short while the torrid zone had become a place worse than frigid, and for five years I have been experimenting, plan- ning, and devising methods to remove my gas from the air, but I am afraid I shall never succeed. In attempting to re- move a blight from the earth I have saddled the earth with a much worse blight. Sorrowfully yours, Robert Bresnahan. 18 Solidio Place Torrididia, Antarctia, Hello folks, January 3, 1956 How ' s everything? I ' m a salesman now. Can I sell you anything? No! Then I ' ll give you some talk free of charge. I ' m living down in the little country of Antarc- tia. Gee, the weather ' s great. We haven ' t had a day be- low 40° F in ten years. You know how cold it used to be down here when little Dick Byrd was puttering around here about twenty-six years ago. Well, it ' s all changed now. You see, ever since they found they could burn the coal underground and convert it into energy much cheaper than they could mine it, everything has been l almy down here. This coal, burning under the surface, has warmed all 32 THE CHIMES Aiitarctia and made a crital)lc ])aradise of it. All the surplus i as that is evolved, on seeping- up throui h the earth, acts as a fertilizer so that we have the l)est loam to he found in the universe, ' hy, even the luxurious dirt that was recently found on Alars cannot compare with this. We have wonderful foliage, all kinds of fruit trees, and everything in the line of agriculture, and plenty of forests. To get hack to my business, I am, as I said, a salesman. 1 sell numerous thing-s. I will described the two most im- l ortant. I sell temperature ice cream, — perhaps you don ' t know what that is. Well, I have invented a process by which when it gets a little too cool down here to eat ordinary ice cream, the ice cream becomes warmer and acts on the sys- tem just like that good old beverage, hot chocolate. I have also manufactured the apparatus for a sport which is very popular down here. It is called Shiraqua. A small four-wheeled car with a highly polished top about three feet wide and six feet long is mounted on some well-greased wlieels. These rails are about one-fourth of a mile long, with a slight grade. The racks end al:)ruptly about two feet in the air. Beyond the ends of the tracks is a cement swim- ming pool about three hundred yards long. To participate in this sport one must have perfect coordination of all muscles. The participant lies flat on the top of the car which starts at the lower end of the grade. The person has no grip on the car except at the front end to keep him from sliding off backwards. The car, which is driven by a pow- erful motor starts up the grade. It increases its speed to about eighty miles an hour. AA hen it reaches the end of the rail, a paddled bumper stops the car immediately, but the occupant goes flying off into the air to land in the pool of water. The record distance for being thrown is held by myself. I raised the speed of the car to ninety miles an hour and was catapulted exactly two hundred and twent} ' - five yards. No other person has come within fifty yards of reaching this record. If the people of Sicituate wish to try this sport, write to me and I will give you detailed in- formation about it. Perhaps I can sell some of them the whole apparatus wdiich is built and sold by the Dwyer An- tarctia Shiracjua Com])any. I am very well off and I wish my Kibitzer friends the best of luck.

THE CHniES EXCHANGES Esther Perry, ' 32 Frank Yinal, ' 31 How often in the first thrilHng- moment that the new Chimes is laid in your hands you find yourself eagerly thumbing pages looking for the pictures, thrill stories, and the changing hilarity department! How seldom is the mad rush dedicated to the little column labeled Exchanges! Yet, in the language of school pul li- cations ' ' exchange should be a synonym for friendship ' in every sense of the word. For, through this medium we are given the privilege of disregarding conventionalities and entering into the vital discussions of fellow publications. If we had no such department how should we Idc able to tell the Harpoon of Dartmouth High that their cuts are simply grand? How could we inform the J oicc of Sharon High that each issue outdoes the last — and the Midget of Sylvester High that it has more than a few future geniuses under its motherly wing? Surely when we feel an over whelming desire to assure Laselle Leaves that her dignified Editorial Department is sincere and fine, and beg the Spiee Box of Avon High to join the fun and install an Exchange Department, we couldn ' t find time nor means to dash over there — so we send along a friendly message cheerfully label- ed Exchange and all is well! jMore gav jottings are shipped off to tell the originator of the Medical Man department in the Sunset Stampede that this is the nearest thing to high school patter we ' ve ever seen; to the Orange and Black of Jersey Shore High suggesting that they leave their cover design strictly alone — it is gay and warm and vital. 42 THE CHIMES Turning- the pages of Sachem of Memorial High School, we find that the cuts are the drollest yet — a giggle i)er page — that ' s Sachem. We feel inclined to rush our exchanges with Brocktonia of Brockton High in the hope that we may he invited to a meeting- of one of those most interesting clul s mentioned in their Cluh Department. All in all we ' ve decided that if you stick to your exchange, fellow puhlications, everybody will come out on top. Hcrmaid of Hingham High, the Radiator of Somerville High, the Stiidciifs Pen of East Bridgewater and the Par- tridge of our neighboring- town, Duxbury, are others of our friends listed highly in the Exchange Departments and to them and all the others we extend our warmest thanks for their fine criticisms and a cordial invitation to — call again!

At present, the classes are progressing under the able direction of Irs. Clement. We hope, however, to see IMrs. ' ard back with us again soon. At the first of the year, the freshmen girls made some original flower designs. Recently, the boys have been mak- ing linoleum block prints of ships, which proved to be very fascinating work. Now they are trying their luck at central designs. At Christmas time the senior girls made original plans for display windows. Posters for The Colonel ' s : Iaid. the senior class play, were made by various members of the art classes. AMiile the old art room is being remodeled in the girls ' shower room, the art classes are having the great honor and pleasure of being the first to make use of one of the rooms in the new addition.

ALUMNI NOTES Selwyn Chipman, ' 31 Every effort has been made this year to locate and keep in touch with the graduates of past years. Letters were sent to the graduates of the last five years, to obtain news of their classmates and themselves, and to secure subscrip- tions for this issue. So that this section might be as interesting as possible, the names of many graduates have been omitted, for w-e feel that past issues of the Chimes ' ' have familiarized our read- ers wdth their whereabouts. ' e have specialized particularly in news of the graduates of 1929.
