Parsons, ' 32 This old world of ours seems to have gone completely miniature. Large and awkward things have been replaced on the market by things small and compact. The women call them cute ' but they seem childish. Styles have changed from the gross to the petite. Eor example, is the man who drives a big car in fashion? No the man in style is the man who drives that cute little Austin. In the sov iety of dogs it is not the large wolfish-looking dogs who are the expensive dog-meat, but the small Pomeranians w hose price often runs up into hundreds of dollars per pound. The .golf craze in its Tom Thumb form is a sensation in itself. Its rapid rise to popularity far surpasses that of real golf, although its permanence is unreliable. If these things are true, what is the cause, and what will be the final results ? This condition may be due to the fact that people in general have come to believe in the old say- ing, that the best things come in small packages, but as for the ultimate results, they are a matter of speculation, and one opinion is as good as another. WINTER ' S END Ruth Reardon, ' 32 The air is full of the clamoring of the forth-coming spring. The ground is moist and soft. The trees, bushes THE CHIMES 9 and all other types of shrubbery, are budding and peeping forth with an air of the greatest arrogance. The birds in the trees are twittering their early verses for spring. All in all Nature is having a charmed reincarnation. The snow seems aged and desolate lying about the sodden earth in small and insignificant patches. The sky in the mist has a beautiful hue of the golden and reddish sunset which is about to peep forth in the early dusk of evening. Winter, with all its glory and glamour, has fled and hidden in the depths of nowhere, while spring is just bursting forth in her new costume of brilliant color. Doesn ' t such a descrip- tion make you feel as if you ' d like to roam the woods for hours at a time and see with your own eye nature at its best? FIRE ! ! ! George Lowell, ' 31 From a window set in the gray somber walls of the tow- ering tenement house, a microscopic line of black smoke curled upward toward the star-studdqd sky. It was midnight and the still crisp February night hung like a banket over the sleeping city. The gray walls of the tenement house had stood for half a century on the outskirts of the thriving city. It had always been considered as a firetrap with its numerous, narrow, twisting stairways, its small rooms, and poorly constructed fire escapes w hich were now packed with boxes, newspapers, and other useless ar- ticles that the tenants had piled on the fire escape stairs in order to get rid of them. And now the inevitable had come ! The stream of black smoke lengthened and widened, still floating upward where it was blown here and there by the air currents. Steadily, minute by minute, the smoke in- creased in volume and from somewhere w ithin the building a faint glow could be seen, while at the same time a crack- ling like that of distant rifle fire was heard. N , v the smoke is pouring steadily from the foiiiih-story 10 THE CHIMES window and in the l)acks4r()nn(l red ikunes leap and stretch their fiery tongues along the tindery floors. But look ! A passerhy has seen the smoke and has turn- ed in an alarm. The tenants have also discovered the fire and soon they come streaming out of the burning house, grasping what few personal belongings they have had time to snatch up. Far down the road comes the sound of the approaching fire engines. With sirens screeching, they swerve around the corner and pull up beside the doomed house, which by now is vomiting flames from windows and roof. Quickly the firemen couple hose to the nearby liydrant and before long several streams of water are being direct- ed upon the flames. Ladders are run up to the floors above the street. Fortunately all occupants have fled from the burning quarters and are now safely in the street below. By this time the interior of the structure is a seething volcano of flames. Entire floors give way as the flames eat through the joists and supporting timbers. The build- ing is doom(td and the only thing the firemen can do is to prevent the fire from spreading. In another half hour the four walls collapse and the house is nothing but a red hot pile of ashes. The last flame is put out and the pile is reduced to a smouldering mass of charred timbers and white ashes. Thus, another house and another fire-trap is reduced to embers. And soon, in the place of that old, rickety, death-trap, there will be a modern brick apartment house which will further beautify the city. CHIMES Dorothy Studley, ' 34 C is for cheerfulnes ' s, which leads the way. H is for happiness, as we all say. I is for ideals toward which we all aim. M is for motives that lead to fame. E is for editorials, some are a ' ' wow. S is for sense, we ' ve all got it, ' ' And How ! THE CHIMES 11 LITERARY PETER ' S LAND Eieanor D. Kent, ' 32 Would the whispers never stop? Must they go on for- ever and forever? Peter knew the whispers were v;hat was kilHng his mother. He was young, but he could under- stand this. And he, who worshiped his beautiful mother, was wild to protect her from the tongues of the world, those serpents that so harmed sensitive victims. Sometimes Peter went down the steep mountain path to the village, on some errand or because of a natural longing to be among people, to- play with boys and girls his own age, and watch the busy trades-people about their work. But these trips only brought him sorrow and hatred for his own kin|d. Eor there were always the whispers, ' ' That ' s her son, or They say she was born in slums and you couldn ' t expect her to be decent, but I guess his money had a lot to do with it. After one of these trips to the village Peter had asked his mother why the people talked so. But she had only told him that whatever he heard h e mustn ' t believe any of it be- cause she had never done wrong and could face God with clean hands an(d an open heart. She had told him that when he was older and better able to understand, she would explain everything to him but until then he must love and trust her as before. 12 THE CHniES ' lieii. a year and a half later, Mrs. Barlow died, she had not yet explained the gossip to Peter. But that faithful lit- tle l)oy remembered how she had told him to love and trust her. Indeqd how could he help doing his? She was his god- dess, 1)eautiful, and kind, and good as any saint. Some- times he thought he could almost see her sitting l3y the fire where she had sat on stormy nights, reading to him about brave men and women who had sacrificed their li es and happiness for mankind. He could hear her telling him he must be brave and true for truth ' s sake, and kind because Jesus had taught kindness and love. Oh. who could doubt that she was good ? Nearly three years passed and during that time Peter, who lived alone with his servants and old tutor, had not been known to visit the little village in the valley. et the whispers persisted and they managed to reach the great, lonesome, mountain home. There was a new whis])er too. It went something like this, ' ' They say he has lost biis mind since his mother ' s death; thinks he ' s a ruler or judge or something. ' ' Yes, a ruler ! Peter was a ruler, for the heartsick and lonesome little boy had learned to hate the cruelties and shallowness of humans. He dreamed of an idcr.l land where kindness and understanding were the only laws, and gossip the worst crime that could be committed. In this land people lived as he and his mother had lived, — sitting by the fire reading wonderful books; or riding horse back up the steep mountain paths and down again into the can- yons and valleys where beautiful lush green grass and wild flowers grew. Then to satisfy that longing for their own kind, the people would gather together and talk of their different stories and poems; of their adventures in the hills, — and they would dance and play and l)e verv liappy. Everybody in this land would do his best to help others. Every door would be open to strangers and every heart would be loving, cherishing no troubles or dislikes. Peter, dreaming this, had had a great wall built around the Barlow estates to enclose his lonely kingdom. And curious village boys, peeping over this forbidding wall, had THE CHIMES 13 witnessed the trial of some whispering leaves tliat had gossiped among themelves. The boys had returned to the village an d reported that Peter Barlow had lost his m ' md. Then one bright morning some other boys decided to visit the estate and see if they too could get a glimpse of the ' ' crazy boy. They climbed noiselessly up over the wall and sure enough there he was in the garden. He had some- thing in his hand which looked like a wounded bird. The boys watched breathlessly as Peter bandaged the bird ' s wing. But when Peter turned his face up to the sky and asked, Mother, do you think he will be all right now? one of the boys laughed. Peter ' s large eyes became bright and his face white with ano-er when he saw the intruders. He clutched a large stick and ran toward the vanishing boys. He slipped; his head hit a rock and he lay very still until Benjamin, the old tutor, came out and carried him into the house. He tried to tell Benjamin about it. Benjamin, do yoit understand ? Thev were ogres and they came into my king- dom that was built for Mother, just mother, Benjamin, and people like her. That ' s why I was angry; I didn ' t want them to spoil it for her, they would frighten her T know. ' The child lay a while in the old man ' s arms. Then he said, Benjamin, there is an old man, Silas Marner, Mother told me about him, and he had been hurt by those ogres. They whispered about him. T must go back to my kingdom and help him. I must go right awav, Benjamin. 1 mus — I—, Mother. Benjamin ' s eyes were wet as he laid the dead child on the couch and knelt, with his head bowed in an attitude of pray- er. Perhaps he was praying that he too might go to Peter ' s land. A young lady entered a stationery store and asked for a can of floor wax. Pm very sorry, said the clerk, but all we have is seal- ing wax. Don ' t try to be siHy ' she snapped; who ' d want to wax a ceiling? 14 THE CHIMES THE LONE SCOUT Harriet Poland, ' 34 Toot — toot — toot — toot — etc. There, mother! How did that sound ? ' ' Perfect, came the reply. Peggy Dexter, tired out, sank down in a comfortable chair. No one could have prac- tised so faithfully as she had, day after day, on her bugle. She was a lone scout, without a captain, and in no troop. She ha,il to get her Girl Scout training by communicating with other scout leaders. The scouts were holding a con- test for buglars and drummers. Tomorrow was the day ! Where ' s that polish that I use for my bugle, mother? I can ' t find it anywhere. — Oh, never mind. I see It. Are you ironing my suit? All right. Peggy ' s head was all a whirl with bugles, suits and what not. She was very thankful when it came time for her to snuggle into bed and close her eyes. ' ' Wake up, Peggy ! Breakfast is all ready for you and it ' s late. ' ' Ho-hum! Why don ' t they make nights longer? She ate her breakfast hurriedly, and before long the clear notes of the bugle could be hea]i d from the music room. Mother, do you suppose Ell have half a chance, with all the other girls who are so much older and more experienced than I? Of course you will ! There ' s not a girl among them that can play as well as you. She asked such questions as these as she put on her suit, shined her Inigle, and tidied herself. Before she knew it, she was on the train and soon had landed at the building where the contest was to be held ! She was frightened when she, alone, went in among the crowd of girls. No one seemed to notice her. Everyone ])ut her had a chum to laugh and talk with. At last all were seated and everything was quiet. The drummers ' contest came first, but she didn ' t even notice that they w re playing at all. Next came the buglers. THE CHIMES 15 ' Triscilla Spear! the judges called. She pla ed the calls selected hy the judges, and oh! the applause which greeted her at the end from her fellow-mates. Peggy idreaded the time when she would play and come back with no one to applaud her, for of sourse she had no troop to be cheered by. Several others went through the same process with loud applause. Peggy Dexter! ' ' She trembled as she came forward. She was assigned to play taps. The mellow notes sounded across the arena. Every girl stood at attention. There was no one to cheer her as the others had been cheered. She had come alone. Her heart sank. Again she was com- manded to play. At the final call the whole hall burst into a spontaneous cheer for the lone scout. There was no doubt in the hearts of anyone but that she had won the prize. She, a lone scout, ha4 won the long cherished cup. THE OLD SCITUATE LIGHTHOUSE Ruth Spear, ' 34 The lighthouse stands o ' erlooking the sea, And Scituate of it well proud may be, — The oldest lighthouse on the shore; There may be other lights galore; But its light has saved many men from death; When close on them was the ocean ' s breath. ' Twas this tower that hid the Army of Two When the lurking danger was known to few; — Erom out behind the granite tower, Cedar trees making a lofty bower : Came the sound of drum and fife, That in old Scituate saved many a life. Servant: The Doctor is here. Absent-minded Professor: I can ' t see him; tell him I ' m sick. 16 THE CHIMES THE STORM Excerpts From My Diary, 1931 Helen Spear, ' 33 Tiics., March 3 There ' s l)een a strong, blustery wind blowing all the af- ternoon. Toward evening it began to snow lightly, but as the night progressqld, the wind and snow both increased, making a very disagreeable night. As I write this, the wind from the northeast is singing and whistling around the corners of the house at a terrific rate of speed, giving me a w eird and unpleasant feeling. If it continues this way much longer, there will l)e a gale instead of a northeast storm. The tide is almost up over the street now (at 10 o ' clock P. AI.), though it isn ' t scheduled to be high until 10.45 P. M. Wed, March 4 I got up this morning to find that the blizzard was still raging and driving sleet and snow, seemingly, froni three or four directions at the same time. On account of the increasing fury of the weather, we were dismissr:d from school at two o ' clock this afternoon. This morning the eleven-foot tide increased to a height of thirteen feet and eight inches and certainly did a lot of damage. It came over the roads at the Sandhills, leaving rocks, sand, and wreckage of various sorts strewn in its path. Tlie foun- dations of many summer cottages wxre damaged, and there were dangerous gullies where the tide had washed out sec- tions of the street. It hadn ' t entirely decreased after school, so we had to take the roundabout way home to our house. Upon arriving there, I immediately dressed in warm cloth- ing and went out to face the gale. I enjoy so much l eing out in such a storm with the wind and sleet beating up against me ! I walked down along Sandy Beach and no- ticed that the sidewalks hr-id been damaged and much sand had been washed across the street. Many cottag ' es had also been damaged, and already there were many sight-seers out to see the storm and wreckage. But the surf is beautiful! THE CHIMES 17 Great mountainous waves are rolling in and every now and then when one much larger than the rest hreaks, it throws spray high up on the beach. The tide washed nearly up to our front steps, and thirty-one inches of water entered our cellar and put out the furnace fire. This storm happened to fall on a full moon and a natural run of high tides, so it is much more furious than it ordinarily would be. Late in the evening, the snow started forming into drifts, where- as before, it melted as soon as it struck the ground. Tliiirs., March 5 This morning the sun was shining and it had almost stopped snowing, but the wind was still blowing and the tide was running high. There was no school today, prob- ably due to the uncertainty of the weather. Many summer residents were down to se e what damage had been done to their cottages, b ut many of those who were unable to come down telephoned our house, and wq told them th. ' j results of the storm — as much as we knew at this time. The sea is mountainous, and while I was up on the beach v, atching it, the waves washed right across the Point and down into a lower level which we call the Meadow. This level lies right in the middle of the peninsula of land known as Light- house Point, and is much low er than the land surrounding it. For about a week after the storm, this Meadow was trans- formed into a pond containing quite a depth of salt w ater which either seeped through the rocks on the beach, ct which was carried over the beach in the form of spray from extra large waves. The fury of the wind threatened to knock me off my feet, and the spray dampened me so that I had to go home and change my clothes. The force of the water also changed the positions of some of the rocks on the breakw ater, and one large boulder (Grandfather said that one rock must have weighed at least five tons) was washed to an upright position on the top of the breakwater. It seems unbelievable that the tide can lift such heavy rocks! After lunch I walked around the beach to view the damage done to the cottages. From the Point to Shore Acres as far as I went, there was not a cottage undamaged ! On every one, either the roof had been staved in, the piazza knocked down, the under-pinning washed away, or some mEN MEMORIAL LIBRAKX SCITUATE. MASSu 18 THE CHIMES of the shingles torn off. I ' he newspapers have 1ieen full of stirrint - items, lately, about the storm, and they rei)orted alxHit $3,000,000 worth of damage along the coast. When T returned home again, after viewing all that destruction, it seemed a miracle to n.ie that our house was intact while every other cottage along the beach had 1)een damaged. I don ' t believe there ' s anything that can do more damage tlian a strong wind and a very high tide in an unprotected area. AND THAT ' S HOW THE STORY GOES Marguerite McCaffrey, ' 33 9.00 a. in. Doctor to Mrs. Black: ' ' Well, Mrs. Black, Em sure Susie will be all right. She has quite a bad cold, but you needn ' t worry. You go dow n to Mr. Snickem ' s pharmacy and get this pre- scription fillqd. Susie will be fit as a fiddle in a few days. Good-by. 9.10 a. m. Mrs. Black to Druggist: Good morning, Mr. Snickems, I w ant this prescrip- tion filled, if you please. Susie is sick — a very bad cold. It is almost a case of the grippe. Oh dear! It ' s one thing after another. Good day. 9.11 a. III. Druggist to his wife, Mrs. Snickems: You upstairs, Emma? Mrs. Black was just in and she said Susie Black has the grippe. Wouldn ' t surprise me if she got pneumonia out of it. Mrs. Snickems: Land sakes alive! You don ' t say. I ' ll have to go over and tell Miss Stubbins. Pneumonia — goodness gracious Agnes ! Miss Stubbins can arrange for the Busy Bee Club to send her some fruit. 9.20 7. Mrs. Snickems to Miss Stubins: Hello, Miss Stubbins, Eve got some terrible new s. Susie Black has pneumonia. Isn ' t that awful? Anid that is how Susie ' s bad cold developed into pneumonia in twenty minutes. THE CHIMES 19 FISHING Selwyn H. Chipman, ' 31 When the sun has just liegiin to shoot grey streaks across the horizon, anonuncing its coming and the start of a beautiful day, the fisherman becomes alert and starts pre- parations for a long day ' s hike. The lunch, tackle, and bait packed, he is ready to go, after the speedy and glut- tonous devouring of a big breakfast. He dons l:is coat, picks up his pole and bait box, and is off for the day. Onward he trudges to the song of birds and the whisper of leaves. He whistles a snatch from some melodious strain as he thinks of the big ones that will lie flopping in his basket before his quest is done. Onward he trudges, his bamboo pole raising a cloud of dust as it trails along behind him. He swings along jaun- tily, filled wnth the spirit and beauty of the surrounding forest and aware of that wonderful sensation of being per- fectly burdenless and carefree. Onward he trudges as the day becomes warmer. Once, he pause sas he sees a deer slipping from view among the softly murmuring trees. Again he pauses as a partridge whirs from beside his path. His trip is an interesting one and he finally arrives at the bank of the stream, where the slap of a beaver ' s tail announces his coming. He surveys the rippled water with pride and compliments himself on his choice of fishing grounds. After slaking his thirst with the cool brook-water, he sits on the ground with his back against a tree and contentedly dines on his meager lunch of a few dry sandwiches. The lonely place, its beauty, the brightly blazing sun — all fill him with the desire to tip his hat over his eyes and sleep there peacefully for the rest of his life. His reverie does not last long, how ever, for the vicious bite of a little black fly brings him swiftly back to the realiz- ation that he must smear his face and hands, neck and ears, and any other exposed part of his being upon w ' iich the numerous little pests are so content to dine, with some so- lution distasteful to the palate of these aforesaid n.uisances. This task done, he quickly prepares his tackle and casts his 20 THE CHIMES halt into the deadwater immediately at the hack of the l)eaver-(Lam. As he gives vent to a yawn and attempts to rul) the sleepiness from his half-closed eyes, a sharp tug hrings him to his senses and he curses his foolishness at not heino- ready for the first 1)ite. His desire for a nap is then disj elled for good as he makes up his mind to get the next one, pnd he quietly and determinedly settles down to catch all the hig ones in the stream. The afternoon passes swiftly in this land of any sports- man ' s paradise and he moves more swiftly from pool to pool as the sun moves westward on its never ceasing ' course. He has left the deadwater far hehind and with his hasket half full moves swiftlv down the stream, stopping only at the hest pools to try his luck. After glancing dou]:)tfully from the sun to the stream, he decides with sad resignation that he must remove his hook and hit the ' ' long, long trail. Homeward he trudges, his hasket heavy, his throat dry, l)ut when he thinks of the speckled heauties ' ' inside, the hasket seems surprisingly light and not at all hurdeusome. Homeward he trudges, with leaden feet but a light and joyous heart. He remembers how that big one tug-ged, and the rough and stony trail becomes shorter and smooth- er as he reflects on the many pleasures that day has held for him. The sun is disappearing below the horizon as he finally reaches camp. He is tired but happy. He has spent a day that might be justly classified as perfect, and the tired grin on his smeared and dirty face by no means belies his pleas- ure and satisfaction. A fishing trip such as this always holds something new in store, and the thrills and pleasures of the wilds are more and more appreciated by either novice or ' ' old timer as he learns of the great out doors. Our angler now is at his journey ' s end — at camp, his temporary home — and there we leave him, thoughfully gaz- ing into the glowing embers of his dying campfire. Alex: Say, why do snow flakes dance? Smart : Practicing for the snowball, I guess. THE CHIMES 21 ON A MOONLIGHT NIGHT Doris Overland, ' 34 Silver moonbeams were streaming througli the trees, those tall, lovely poplar trees that stood fir.nly silhouetted against the night sky, and hid in their shadows little sylvan g lens where queer things happen. The wind was hhjwing ' gently, oh, so gently. It swayed the poplars arid Idew across the hills, making the long fragrant grass rise and fall like the weaves of a billowy ocean. It whistled through the branches of the stern oaks and managed to shake the aus- tere elms slightly. A gay weird spirit captured the night. I felt H a ' I sat there on a rock watching multitudes of stars twinkle. I glanced at the poplars. They seemed to be smiling. Faint strains of music — oh, ever so faint — were carried on the breeze. Adiat was the matter with me? I saw, yes, I saw tiny figures on the grass. I was just wondering whether to blame Virgil or Hamlet for this when a much taller figure jumped out from behind the trees. Unlike the spirits with their dainty little wings and funny antlers, the figure looked quite human. Youth, I thought, trying to ignore the fantastic ])ranc- ing of the sprites, you are quite crazy to be out on a cold night with only a silly silk blouse and cap with pompons and velvet trousers on. ' ' The fairies began to dance more quickly. The strains of music grew louder. Then wonders upon wonders this wraith of a human began to sing, marvelously, tetiderly. Youth, I said, unable to think that he might not be a youth, perhaps beginning to believe that I was having hal- lucinations, someone could make a Caruso out of you. Come before you catch your death of cold. Come! ' ' But the playful breeze carried my voice away. I gasped in surprise, for a young maiden was running across the hills. The rash youth was following her. She, foolish thing, was clad like him. The great pompons on their clothes bobbed in the wind that whistled after them. She turned, and I saw that her face was ridiculous. She had 22 THE CHIMES a saiicv i)i(|iiaiit month, lar e g-reen eyes, and riotons red hair. Come 1)ack ! T cried feebly. ' ' Come ])ack, yon fool with the marvelons voice. Confonnd this cold wind, I mnt- tered shivering. Did T hear high sc[neaky langhs? Were the elves grin- ning? Were the poplars shaking angrily? Was the moon leering? I felt as though all were looking at me. Did somebodv or something say this? — Mortal, mortal, mortal, thieving mortal! You steal our glorious night. You sit there and see things you should not see, and, ho, if you don ' t call after the immortal Pierrot to tell him that someone can make a ' Caruso ' out of him. Ho ! Ho ! You call your graceful Pierrette a fool. You shiver when Pierrot chases her up to the moon! You swear by ' Virgil ' and ' Hamlet, ' whover they are, that you are crazy. Get hence, unappreciative, practical, egotistical, boasting mortal. I was cold. The sky was growing cloudy. I was hun- gry and sleepy. The moon had disappeared. One lone star twinkled sorrowfully. The wind blew hard. I was sure it was all a dream. ' ' Virgil lay open on my desk at home. Hamlet, thank heaven, was finished. I began to think I had a pret- ty good imagination. Perhaps I could follow in the foot- step ' s of even Shakespeare; bu t as I turned before entering the house, I saw that the tremulous clouds had parted, and the sullen moon was glaring at me. SCITUATE HIGH Alberta Turner, ' 34 Scituate High is loved most dear By all her boys and girls Toward her our hearts are most sincere To her our flag unfurls. Her banner bright of blue and white Is always flung on high To her we cling with all our might Till parting time is night. THE CHIMES 23 MY FRIEND THE MINUTE NEWT Charles Colman, ' 32 One balmy day late last May, lured to my log ' retreat, I di ' scovered to my great surprise that the borers, beetles and what-not in their bewitching agony of spring ' fever had wrought such vengeance on the chinking of the cabin in their mad rush for the open that they must have forgotten completely to shut the doors to their winter homes. In truth, glowing shafts of life-giving sunlight flooded thru several slits and formed patches of gold on the rough floor. I was not angry with these insects; I was really glad they had filled my cabin with holes. I know how they felt on that glorious day when all the world was waking up and re- birth was everywhere. And I was glad to go down by the bubbling brook to gather the cool moist moss once more to the cheerful tune of the old man in the brook who seemed to bubble out his peace like one bursting over with joy. I lifted the bulky moss basket from its nail and swung it over my shoulder. Then I wound my way to the brook along the path which was shaded by fresh leaves and bord- ered with dainty hairbells and pure white anemones. A tiny grass snake wiggled lazily away. Approaching a more shaded section, I encountered a swarm of pine flies, who lit on my neck and arms in buzz- ing clusters. But there is one thing about the pine flies which I like, and that is that they are very easy to kill. Whether it is because they have a yellow streak down their back or that the warmth of their favorite weather makes them slow to move as it does me, I cannot say. Upon arriving at the top of the hill overlooking the brook, I could hear the old man of the brook mumbling to himself, and in a few minutes I was on the good old bridge. I no- ticed that the cowslips were well gone by anjrl the skunk cabbage was fully knee-high. Just appearing at the surface of the water two fat spatter-dock buds could be seen. Having arrived at the brook and having taken a slight rest, (it was getting uncomfortably warm) I proceeded to gather the moss (the reindeer moss) which grew in large spongy patches on the banks of the brook. 24 THE CHIMES I was scra]) ' ng up an extra larg ' e handful when niy eye ' s were attracted Iw a white forn.i which I mistook for that of a caterpillar. I never had seen so white a caterpillar and so I examined it more carefully. To my astonishment I found that it had four tinv leg ' s and a pair of beautiful little eyes which were watching- me carefully from beside a stem of moss. I w as delighted beyond words, for it was none other than a tiny newt, •hich I had ahvays wished to see. It w as about an inch and one-half long and had a diameter of about three-sixteenths of an inch. Its upper half w as a rich reddish brown and its under side pure wdiite. Both its ur] er and lower sides were covered with a mucous pe- culiar to the batrachian group. Its legs were very short in comparison with its body and tapered towards the body rather than away. It had four dainty toes on its front feet and five on its hind feet. The tail, which I thought would be long, was stubby and I w as led to think that it must have been broken off, but later a new tail grew. The eyes of this newt, I think, excelled in beauty any gem I had ever seen. They were go d around the edges which spark- led with a jet black center like a true gem. As the newt did not move, I gave it a slight tap on the end of its tail. It gave a leap fully eight times its own length and started on the most ridiculous amble that ever Avas staged. Eirst it advanced the front leg and the hind leg on the other side, then just the reverse. During this walk its long body, similar to a w easel ' s, and its tail wiggled in unison. I put it is a ball of moss and, forgetting every- thing, ran home. I secured the most beautiful ma3-onnaise bottle I could find and placed the newt and moss in it. Then I added a little water and put the whole on my desk. There I added a little water an4 put the whole on my desk. There Mr. Newt stayed until the first of September and in- creased in wisdom and stature upon a diet of air and good- ness-knows- what. One might have asked how this little amphibian could live over three months with nothing to eat. I certainly did not intend that it should starve and so I caught a number of plant lice and small ant ' s and put them in its jar. 1 do not know whether the newt disliked this bill of fare or found THE CHIMES 25 that its mouth would not open wide enough to get them within. But the fact remains that there was no perceptible loss of life among- the bugs. However, the newt seemed to thrive so well that I concluded it must have eaten some min- ute food which could not be distinguished by the naked eye. I changed the moss every two weeks so that it might get a fresh supply of its invisible food. The newt actu- ally grew a half -inch tail during its stay with me. The little fellow was great company at my desk. Some- times I would be led to think that it had escaped it blended so well with the moss, but after a closer examination T would discover it peeping out at me, its long neck arched up like a cobra ready to strike. When I took it from th glass and deposited it on my arm, it would start a race for the concealment of my arm sleeve and often made me burst out laughing with its comical gait. I was deeply moved when one day I looked for the little fellow and found it dead for I had associated many happy memories with it. A DESCRIPTION June Hundrickson, ' 34 Slower fell the feathery flakes, calmer blew the tempes- tuous winds, gradually the storm clouds broke, and then a bright silvery moon sailed majestially past the storm-lined clouds up to her celestial abqde in the wintry sky. In the shimmering rays, the tall gaunt trees stood darkly silhou- etted against the crystal white blanket of snow which had so recently fallen. The wind, still howling , swept through their leafless branches, causing their shadows to look like a spectre host, come from some gloomy underworld to in- vade the now serene and tranquil earth. Off in a distance only the occasional howl of a lone dog broke the — yes, ghastly silence. But the once radiant, shining moon is per- ceptibly waning. Her duty is done for awhile. It is now the reign of the golden sun. 26 THE CHIMES HOW TUJ : THISTLE REALLY ORIGINATED Ellen Russell Bailey, ' 31 Once upon a time — oh, a long, long- time ago when our great-great-grandfathers were little boys — there lived a very lazy little porcupine in an old den at the top of a steep hill. He lived with his father and mother and they loved him greatly, but of course, at times, they got rather exasperated with him and his laziness. Each morning Baby Porcupine used to take a sun bath on the front door sill while his parents worked hard to get him food and do all their own work besides. One morning Mother Porcupine was very ill and baby Porky, who was really now almost grown up, had to go down the hill to get his own food and help his father. Father thought that if young Porky Jiad to do something it might cure a little of his laziness; but it didn ' t. Each day he kept moving more and more slowly till one day when he stopped to rest, old Grandfather Crow, who was partly a wizard, came by, and seeing him, said, ' ' Some cold day in the very near future, you ' ll freeze that way. And a few minutes later when Porky tried to start up the hill, he found that he couldn ' t move ! He called for help and though Daddy porcupine pulled his hardest, — yes, Porky was rotted to the ground. Three days later there came a great storm and poor Porky turned purple with cold and in a few hours died. In the following spring some children were playing in their back pasture when suddenly one, the eldest giil, hap- pene d to fall on what was left of poor little Porky. She quickly jumped up but was naturally very curious to know what it was. So she took a bag and a knife and dug up the ' funny plant and took it home. On the way home some of the little spears dropped out and grew up into others of their own kind — though, of course, smaller. These are called ' ' thistles now, and there are many in nearly every part of the country. THE CHIMES 27 THE PILGRIMS Priscilla Dunbar, ' 31 The waves were tossing to and fro Carrying everything in their wake While out in the dark green ocean The sailors seemed to quake. storm is coming, the captain said ' The wind is cold and bleak, The third since we set out to sea Another land to seek. ' ' What have we done to deserve this wrath Of old Father Neptune, when. This little band from another land Set out, a new homeland, to win? Turn back? No never, the captain said, Though our goal and our cause be lost. So all through the night in its sad littl plight The staunch ship trembled and tossed. And when morning came and the sun shone bright. The ship sailed on and on, Ar d this sturdy band from the other land Conquered their goal and won. JUST IMAGINE Paul Bresnahan, ' 33 On September 23, 1999 the children of five, six and sev- en years were inoculated with brain serum, which, as you should know, gives the children their education, immediate- ly and painlessly. The school where they were inoculated was a very beau- tiful building having two large halls which were used for the operating rooms on the twenty-third of September each year, and as recreation rooms during the remaining days. The serum I was telling about is injected three times into the skull of the person. It is harmless, and the skull, being near the brain, acts as a medium for the serum. 28 THE CHIMES Now John I)rown was receiving his third inocul ' ition, or in other words, the equivalent of going- to the old fashioned colleges for eight years. It must have worked especially fast on him hecause w hen he cut his hand, he asked his perplex- ed motlier for Hexylresorcinal Solution instead of just plain S. T. 37. ' ' As it took the serun.i only a day to work, Johr; started immediately to look for a job. He started out in his ' ' Rolls Rosie. ' ' a twenty-four cylinder, one thousand horse-power, four-passenger, convertible se ' dan. It had a front wheel drive and since it had a two-hundred-inch w heelbase, the front and rear w heels turned at once, making it very easy to ])ark. The body of the machine was all aluminum, wdth the exception of the top. John must have explored pretty nearly the whole of Alas- sachusetts when he heard that jobs were in plenty in lars; so he got out his airplane. This w as a four-passenger, low-winged monoplane, propelled by smokeless, flashless rockets, and it would travel at an average of seven ninety miles an hour for a distance of nine or ten billion miles. John claimed it cost about one cent for every two hundred miles to run. As he had crossed to Mars only four times, he considered himself an amateur. I guess the rumor of jobs bemg plen- tiful was all wTong because John couldn ' t find a job any- where. How ever, at the last minute John received a radio call from his father telling him that the president of the Brown Pickle Factory ' ' had resigned and that his father wanted him to come and fill the vacancy. W e can ' t but feel a bit sorry for John, who struggled along with so few advantages, trying to make his way in the world. Life guar,d : ' ' How much can you carry? Applicant : Two hundred pounds. Life guard : Supposing there was a woman weighing four hundred pounds out there in the w ater drowning; what would you do? Applicant : I ' d make tw o trips ! THE CHIMES 29 MONSTER Esther Perry, ' 32 Tlie seething sea is awful The way it gnashes and moans ! Each wave w eaves a speh of horror, And roars Hke an angry whale. The hoats are lashing in terror — Ropes writhing like serpent ' s tails. The gulls wail like frightened babies And the foam gives the fish up — dead. Can it be that God, has forsaken, In this hour of dread? The spray dashes to bits a cottage And some lover ' s dream meets its death. The sea casts up it tribute — Seaweed as funeral wreathes. Then, laughing like gruesome thunder It turns and rumbling forsakes. ' Leaving a mass of broken souls And storm-rackqd homes in its wake. Now — only a short two days later. It ' s returned to its innocent hue But, now it is branded — ' Traitor! ' Death lurks ' neath beguiling blue.

Af- ter a ver} ' good selection by the orchestra, the curtain went up, showing an office scene.

Mallei Hogan Dorothy Knox ' ' The voice with the smile. Scene — Law office of Bob Brewster. Synopsis : Act I — Morning, early in September. Act! I — The following morning. Act HI — Two days later. The story was of a young fellow who, to impress his girl friend, borrow ed his friend ' s office, set some boys and girls THE CHIMES 43 to work as secretaries — his friend, a lawyer, as a minor bookkeeper — and played the part of boss himself. A jum- ble of mix-ups and laughs with a good story to. back it up — The Big Cheese. The Juniors gave the first of a series of assemblies during the school year. The program was in commemoration of Thanksgiving. When the curtain opened, the Juniors were sitting in a semicircle and they were certainly a good-looking group. The president, Stanley Murphy, acted as announcer. The Governor ' s proclamation was read by Priscilla Barnes; Burchill Sweeney and Donald Parsons showed us that the Juniors were not lacking in oratorical ability; Esther Perry read an original Thanksgiving story and the class sang sev- eral songs w hich received great applause. It was a pro- gram of which they should feel proud. At the Christmas assembly in December, the Freshmen proved to us that they were not ' ' Greenies when it came to putting over a program successfully. The music was fine , especially that of the orchestra, which consisted of Lor- raine Abbott, Jackson Bailey, Lester Gates, Garrison Hall, Gordon Logan, Gerald Schultz. After an orchestra selection, they continued with the fol- lowing program : Scripture Reading: St. Luke Virginia Vines ' ' Hark!

At the last note of the bugle, a great applause arose which showed the ap- preciation of the school. A patriotic i?ageant was then given. Frank Vinal made a very good Benjamin Eranklin, and the other characters, who pIso did good work were as follows: Sooth-sayer Dorothy MacDonald hm boy Alden Torrey Wife of the inn-keeper Roxanna McAlpine In the second scene Katherine Dorr was the sweetest old- fashioned girl imaginable.

On March 24 the Junior Commercial class put on a very humorous but educational play called Saturday Morning in the Office. It showed mainly how the perfect secretary should act and how she should feel towar ' d her employees and position. The characters were as follows : Secretary Esther Perrv Boss Fred Dorr Secretary Elizabeth Dolan Office Boy George Flahei ty Applicant Doris Ainslie Applicant Bernadette Lavoine Business Man James Colien Business Man Herbert Litchfield The pleasure-loving and lazy office boy was the cause of much hilarity and the flapper stenographer who api:)lied for a position was some steno. Esther Perry, was, indeed, the perfect secretary, while Bernadette Lavoine also was good as a perfect applicant and secretary.

Erances Alexander, ' 31 Ellen Bailey, ' 31 Editors 48 THK CHIVIES A loyal alnmnus kindly contributed the following infor- mation concerning a ' 26 graduate : John Otis Prouty is an alumnus of the Scituate High — n r) n c x . n fS School, Class of 1926. He is now a Senior in Brovvn Un- iversity, Providence, R. I. He was born in Scituate in 1910, and on February 26 last attained his twenty-first birthday. At Commencement in June, on receiving his degree, he will be one of the young- er members of his class; and among the comparatively THE CHIMES 49 small company of students to receive a degree, witii honor, from a college so early in life. His parents were Mr. and Mrs. Clement J. Proiity, also natives of Scituate. John attended the public schools, grad- uating from the High School in 1926. He spent an addi- tio nal year here in study, then entered Brown University, from which he is soon to receive his degree. He has won a number of scholarships and high honors in college. Mention may be made of the ' ' Francis Wayland in 1929; the James Manning in 1930. This year he has received election to ' ' Sigma XI , denoting special honor and standing in mathematics; and recently he w as elected to Phi Beta Kappa, a national society of scholars. During his course he has been an active and faithful member of the Brown Band, numbering seventy musicians. Jn 1930 he was awarded a large silver cup, known as the Harris Band Trophy, given for interest and co-operation in the Brown Band. John has been chosen as one of three, out of a class of four hundred and fifty, to deliver an oration at the Commencement in June. The Scituate High School has graduated a long list of boys and girls of sterling character and high scholarship. These have brought great honor and credit to the school in their subsequent careers. In this list we desire now to include and emphasize the name of John Otis Prour.y. As a Scituate boy and an alumnus of our High School his fu- ture will be regarded with the greatest interest by a large circle of friends ai|d admirers here and elsewhere. A. D. S.

Al- though many versatile players had graduated and this year ' s team was composed of many underclassmen, a very scientif- ic and scrappy team was produced. The teams which we played were very strong aqd fast but our aggregation was always on top. There will be many seasoned players to start the season next fall. This year we have been fortun- ate in having as coach for all our sports, except track and swimming, Mr. Ralph Hart, a graduate of Massachusetts Agricultural College. The scores of the games were as follows : Scituate 0 Bourne 0 Scituate 14 Kingston 0 Scituate 6 Randolph 0 Scituate 22 Derby 0 Scituate 7 Bourne 7 Scituate 2 E. Bridgewater 0 Scituate 7 Hanover 0 Scituate 6 Marshfield 6 BASKET BALL During this basket-ball season a very interesting experi- ment was tried : namely, the putting of two teams of the same playing ability on the floor, one of which was compos- THE CHUrKS THE CHIMES 53 ed of Seniors, and the other of Juniors and two Sopho- mores. This netted valuable experience to the latter team for next year. We owe this accomplishent to our coach and also to the members of the squad who participated un- flinchingly towards this achievement. The schedule of games was as follows : Jan. 8 — Scituate 26 Pembroke 29 Jan. 13 — Scituate 20 Marshfielirl 21 Jan. 16 — Scituate 4 East Bridgewater 27 Jan. 20 — Scituate 7 Norwell 22 Jan. 23 — Scituate 18 Alumni 11 Jan. 27 — Scituate 13 Duxbury 12 Jan. 30 — Scituate 13 Norwell 35 Feb. 3 — Scituate 13 Hanover 18 Feb. 6 — Scituate 7 East Bridgewater 28 Feb. 10 — Scituate 16 Hanover 22 Feb. 13 — Scituate 23 Marshfield 33 Feb. 20 Scituate 17 Pembroke 20 Feb. 27 — Scituate 23 Alumni 2 March 3 — Scituate 15 Duxbury 30 SWIMMING AND TRACK These two teanis, under the supervision of Mr. Gillespie, made remarkable showings at the Brockton Y. M. C. A. this winter. At the swimming meet on February 14, 1931, F. Gose- wisch, ' 31, placed second in the 60-yard freestyle event; R. Breen ' 32, placed second in 40-yard backstroke; F. Stan- ley, ' 33, placed third in 40-yard backstroke. In the track meet on February 7, 1931, G. Lowell, ' 31, and H. Young, ' 32, tied for fourth place in the high jump; J. Barry, ' 32, placed fourth in the shot put; S. H. S. relay team placed third in the 2-lap relay. BASEBALL Baseball is here. However, the weather has been very unfavorable for practice. Thirty boys reported for prac- tice. Half of these are veterans and the veteran infielders look very good. THE CHIMES THE CHIMES 55 The battery will be changed and our coach, who is a very good pitcher, will show the pitchers a lot of new ' ' stuff. The games will probably be played with Norwell, Cohas- set, Pembroke, Kingston, Hanover, East Bridgewaier and Duxbury. TENNIS The present tennis team is getting under way with Man- ager Donald Parsons taking care of affairs. He has book- ed nine matches with other schools. He also plans a tourn- ament for all aspiring tennis players with elimination mat- ches to decide the ones who will play on the team. Burchill Sweeney, ' 32 Boys ' Athletic Editor GIRLS ' ATHLETICS The Physical Education program for the girls has been very extensive this year. Of course our new gym, which allows for a great variety of activities, has made this pro- gram possible but we feel that a great deal of credit is due Miss Ruth Whidden, our physical education director. Correct posture has been the main consideration in our gym classes and we have been transformed from the ' ' hunch backs of Scituate to girl soldiers that drill just like the Russians. And standing erect is not all we do. No indeed, we turn ourselves completely inside out and up side down on rings, and ropes, and leather horses. And we have had folk dances and tap routines wi th which Miss Whidden endeavored to make us graceful and which showed us how really clumsy we were. Miss Whidden also proved hereself an excellent basket ball coach and rallied our team into good fighting shape in a very short time. The following girls w ere on the basket ball squad : Erances Alexander, captain; Louise Nichols, Marjorie Hill, Giertrug Schuyler, Elizabeth Stonefield, Mary Sweeney, Lois Lincoln, Lillian Turner, Alberta Turner, Jeannette Harris, and Ruth Reardon. Dorothy Knox was manager of the team and Virginia Cole was her assistant. THE CHIMES 57 The results of the games were as follows : Scitiiate 11 Pembroke 35 Scituate 29 Duxbury 24 Scituate 25 ] Iarshfield 45 Scituate 26 East Bridgewater 27 Scituate 36 Norwell 8 Scituate 31 Alumni 17 Scituate 33 Duxbury 7 Scituate 35 Xorwell 28 Scituate 28 Hanover 35 Scituate 24 East Bridgewater 4 Scituate 26 Hanover 34 Scituate 27 larshfield 42 Scituate 22 Pembroke 15 Eleanor Kent, Girls ' Athletic Editor SIXTEEN TO EOURTEEN The Seniors beat the Junior B ' s ' ' , They beat the Freshmen, too : But with the lusty Sophomores They met their Waterloo. The Soph ' mores played the Junior A ' s And lost the game of course. Miile all the rooters voiced their praise Till everyone was hoarse. Then the Juniors played the Senior A ' s ' ' — Such a game you ' ve never seen As that loss to the Junior Blue, Who were led by center Breen. Then Juniors versus Faculty- — Tlie last game of the year: With the teachers full of confidence — The Juniors filled with fear. THE CHIMES The ame began quite slowly, With the teachers first to score Vhen Murphy made a foul And Hart sunk it from the floor. And then the battle started With vigor and with vim As Hollis sunk a nice one With an apologetic grin. A basket made by Mr. Hart Put the Juniors in the rear As the quarter ended slowly, — And the gang let out a cheer. The second quarter started well When ' ' Shelayly sunk a foul Which served to tie the score at four And make the students howl. But then the teachers showed their stuff W ith six points in a row; And the Junior ' s ' soaring hopes w ent down To a steadily failing glow. A foul was made by ' Mr. Breen, Which Hart scored for a point, and then. The first half stopped, with the Juniors three, While the teachers had scored ten. And then the second half began With vigor filled anew, As Parsons and Murphy lent a hand — Each one contributing two. ' ' Rainbow ' ' Bob got angry then And sank another shot. But time was calloid to cool them off — Their motors were so hot. THE CHIMES The game was then again resumed With the Juniors traihng behind, But Holhs sunk another shot Which made the Juniors nine. The quarter ended then, but soon The final part began; And Curran sunk a foul try And raised the score to ten. But then the teachers rallied strong With four points to raise the score; And try as they would, the Juniors could Not seem to get any more. A lead of six, the teachers had W ith two more minutes to play And then Shelayly sank a shot That made the crowd hooray. And then tw o points l y lanky Don, With the seconds swiftly fleeting, Helped save the fighting Juniors from A more disgraceful beating. Now the game is History — In a very minor way; But the Juniors never will forget The battle on that day. They did their best to beat the Profs, These battling Boys in Blue; But when the game came to an end. They still were led by two. ' K But the Juniors are beaten, (which w e regret) By sixteen to fourteen, the game was won, And the Faculty team is champion yet — So now I conclude, as my story ' s done. By S. H.

Gosh, said the patient, that sounds like buying an automobile. I am ! ' ' was the quick reply. That remains to be seen, said Jake as he stepped in the fresh cement. And now we hear of the Scotchman who said in reply to his son ' s request to attend the centennial celebratioji : Not now% my boy, next time. Old Lady: Why of course Santa won ' t hurt you.
