A book store has a certain fascination. Once you walk into it, you l)ecome a part of it, carefully lifting the volumes from their shelves, and with a most exciting feeling, looking again into the heart of an old acquaintance. A book that you really love will hold you spellbound for many long hours. Little do you care for warmth, nor do you notice where you are seated. You are traveling in Paris with the author or crying your heart out with Hugo ' s Cossette, who has been mis- treated; or you are happy and careless with Don Quixote. Other- times you are making the l eautiful scenes of Rio de Janeiro a pare of your life; or you are on the deck of a four-masted schooner braving a gale, or in the heart of the desert with Lawrence during an Arab attack. Never do I see a book without thinking of its struggle for exis- tence. Long ago the Bal)ylonians wrote their accounts of events upon pressed clay with sharp instruments which were difficult to handle. Later they used harder substances, such as wood, ivory, or lead, until the Egyptians found that by crudely placing papyru-s reeds together they could have a smooth sheet on which they could write and draw. The monks of the monastaries in heat or severe cold meticulously copied with a quill the words of the authors. Very often at the end of a book the monks would write a colophon such as this for the reader : I pray you good readers who may use this book, ,do not forget him who copied it (which was brought from a foreign country) endured cold, and was obliged to finish in the night THE CHIMES 9 what he could not write by day. Another copyist added this: ' ' He who does not know how to write, imagines it is no labor; but, al- though only three fingers hold the pen, the whole body grows weary. ' ' Theirs was hard work, but the monks rendered the greatest service to mankind. Should we not hold almost reverence toward these treasures which are our Open Sesames? These companions are able to take us to the remotest lands, to let us speak with the greatest of men and women. There is a society continually open to us, of people who will talk to us as long as we like, whatever our rank or occupation; — talk to us in the best words they can choose, and of the things nearest their hearts — kings and statesmen lingering patiently, not to grant audience, but to gain it, Ruskin tells us. Books inform us about the trials of the past, and the developments of today; they show us the beauties an,d misfortunes of life; but best of all, they stimulate our minds and let us use our almost dormant imaginations. Up in the attic, a l:)lustering March wind blowing through the invisible cracks and sometimes sending out into the room spirals of smoke from the cheerful Franklin fireplace in front of which I am curled up on an old springless sofa, I am living again with Luc Manette of the Tale of Two Cities, and am traveling on a dirty boat to meet a l roken man — my father — whom I do not know. Again I am seeing the horrible guillotine take its penalty and am in the dirty prison with Sidney Carton as he rescues Charles Darney — I am far away, entirely lost. ON THE RISE AND DECLINE OF POPULAR SONGS Ruth Spear, ' 34 It is interesting to follow the rise and decline of a popular song. When a song is first written, especially if it is a catchy, appealing jingle, all the orchestras play it, every instrument wails it, crooners murmur it, male and female groups harmonize it (usually torturing it,) and everywhere you can hear it hummed or sung. In street cars, on the street, in shops, in theatres, — everywhere this song pen- etrates. The stage show or motion picture that the song originated from is patronized because of this infectious tune. Music stores get many calls for the song and the composer makes a great fortune be- cause of his inspiration. In dance halls it is played four or five times in one evening by popular request, or if you wish, demand. People work to it, .dance to it, ride to it, and play to it. It is not unusual to hear the piece on every radio program during the day. Some- times it doesn ' t sound the same as the composer intended it to; it 10 THE GHIMEiS may be so distorted with boo-ba-boos, hot chas, etc., that it is barely recognizable. That is the picture of a popular song during its day. But — after two or three months it is heard only occasionally, if at all. The music stands under three inches of dust on the piano and is forgot- ten. How can you account for the sudden decline of a song that was so tremendously popular in its day ? Perhaps the old songs have to make way for the new ones that are constantly being written. The new one is perhaps smoother to dance to. Possibly the restlessness of this generation accounts for their changing favor. People are always turning toward something new. More plausibly, after hear- ing a song tortured by many would-be harmonizers, people get so sick of it that they turn the radio off at its announcement. But how do you account for the fact that songs like The Rosary, Home Sweet Home, The Bells of Saint Mary, and many others similar to these are treasured and sung for years after their introduc- tion? A comparison of the nature of the songs just mentioned and that of the briefly popular songs may result in an understanding. The beauty of the old songs is not ruined by many playings, while the currently popular, changing songs of today satisfy the jazz- loving youth only for a 1)rief while. NIGHT Harriet Poland, ' 34 The night silently steals o ' er the land; The moon in her stateliness sweeps through the sky; The stars gleam aloft in resplendent array, I love the night. The night is clear, cool, sparkling; Still breezes are wafted through the whispering trees ; Silvery moonbeams bedeck the world in shimmering loveliness, T love the night. Mr. Stewart: Did you take a showier? Ouinn ; No, sir, but if it ' s missing, I ' ll help you look for it. ' Peter; I met the laziest man in the world today. Herbert; ' Hov.- does it feel to be ex-champicn? THE CHIMES 11 WAR Rosalie Creelman, ' 35 ' War, the small, three letter word that makes thousands tremble, and strikes fear into hearts of millions ! The older people shud- der when they talk of it, and smile, with a hint of sadness, at the small children laughing and playing their version of war, in which the kiddies lead their brave tin soldiers or playmates to a victorious finish, with much noise but no bloodshed. War, as older ones know it, is a horrible, bloody, devastating, cruel ' ' thing that is completely destructive. The great World War is, of course, remembered most vividly. Think of the towns demolished, the lives carelessly mangled and destroyed; young men fighting, giving their lives unselfishly for their country ' s cause; battlefields, red with blood, bombs bursting, shells flying, bullets whistling, and always the falling shapes and the pitiful groans of the dying; the unwounded still pushing onward to their own death or victory. The ones at home wait, breathlessly, for the latest news — news that is shrieked from the street corners; casualty lists that are — oh, so long; the sorrow, suffering, and anxiety brought about by this heartless cause. Why do the nations crave war? Is it a greedy desire for wealth and fame? The brute nature in men that cannot be overcome? Are they seeking adventure, hoping to find it in war? The last war was not fought for revenge; it was started so that one nation might become extremely powerful. A group of bloodthirsty leaders urged on a crowd of hardworking people, and after a while the war grew; nations joined forces; and just as a blotter soaks up ink. men from everywhere were drawn toward the fierce conflict. After that nightmare, appeared crosses row upon row, disbanded families, and great debts to pay. Today all are still working to erase the blood-stains from the books of their nation. Yet there comes again the sinister shadow of men marching, guns firing , dead and wounded littering fields once fair and sunny. The League of Nations and the numerous peace conferences have not been able to stop the growing hate between nations. Nations have agreed to disagree, and still hope to crush the pride and beauty of some opposing country. The thoughts of men ought not to be burdened with destructive ideas. War brings nothing but desolation. Let us work for con- struction; build up our nation: forget var ! 12 THE CHIMES VIKING ROMANCE Doris Overland, ' v34 The day was bright and clear when Leif Kricsson and his broad- shouldered, blue-eyed crew set out for unknown lands. The ship looked ever so sturdy, rocking gently on the waters of the Germanic Sea. The little band of anxious wives, mothers, and awe-struck children were sharply defined in the sun light as they stood on the rocky shores of Scandinavia. With worried looks old women were pressing bundles of food and clothes into the strong arms of theii laughing sons. Old Solvieg closed trembling fingers around her Arne ' s large fist. ' ' Remember, Arne, ' ' she cried, I have Olaf no longer. I am an old, old woman, and it is not good for old, old women to live alone. Oh, Alother! laughed Arne. ' You have Greta, and no woman has a finer daughter. There was a strange, fierce flash in old Solvieg ' s faded eyes. ' ' They are all gone but you! she cried. T watched them go one by one. Great Thor smote the waters with his fist, and the waves swallowed them up; but you are mine, and nothing can take you away — not even great Thor ! Blonde Astrid was weeping on her husband ' s shoulder. Vou could stay home, Eric, ' ' she murmured In ' okenly. It time the crops were planted. It is hard work for a woman — plant- ing. Indeed she seemed unequal to such a task. Tall and stately as she was, she looked slimmer than most Scandinavian women, and she was pale, beautiful, and starry-eyed; she was a prophecy of the glamorous, silken-clad, soft-voiced woman of tomorrow. Eric ' s flashing eyes grew mellow. Tend the farm? ' ' he asked gentlv. Xo, my lieautiful one. Bend one ' s back over barren earth in the hot sun and coax meager crops to grow? Ah, no! Raise verdure from yoii rocks? I am a man, dear wife, not a god! But the earth yields to patient labor, protested Astrid. You, my dear one, come from the land of the east. There a man may stick a root in the ground, and it will grow. That is u land kind to domesticity, but my country gives l)irth to adventurers I must awa ' , for this dead horizon irks me! ' ' But am J, your wife, worthy of no consideration? ' ' Keep the fires warm and bright, for a wanderer homeward bound is cold and weary. With this he departed. Soon the A jking ship was sailing smooth- THE CHIMES 1 ly toward the sky, and the Httle band on shore looked desolate. Must he always go away like this, cried Astrid, away so far — 1 know not where? What does he do in those other worlds of his? That is what the women of the North must bear, said old Sol- ieg ' . When you liecome old and see your sons going one by one, it will be harder, 1 ut it is always for us to wait and wait and wait. — and her voice trailed off drearily to silence. There w ere months and months of sailing on a sea of many moods. Sometimes Thor, god of thunder, split the heavens open above, and the jetty water rose like mountains in the ])ath of the ship. Sometimes the placid moon sprinkled silver on the sea, and the velvet sky was jewelled with stars. Sometimes the sky was pale and clear, and the sun flung handfuls of diamonds on the gently undulat- ing waters. The men of the North were silent men, and they felt each other ' s companionshi]) in silence. When they spoke, they spoke only what was necessary, or in more congenial moods they revealed fragments of their thoughts and dreams — but merely fragments. Therefore the only voices were the voices of the wind and waves; and were the: ship destined to be conquered by the elements, the only shrieks and groans would be the lustful shrieks of the hysterical wind and the satisfied groans of the hungry waves. Finally on one clear day the dim purple line of land could be seen at the horizon. Leif, cried Arne at the bow of the ship, ' ' see — yonder! ' Tis your father ' s land — Greenland; is it not? Leif Ericsson brought his great brows dow n. No, ' ' he replied. ' Tis not. I noted by the stars last night that we w ere aw- ay off our course. This is some strange, unknown place. Shall we land there? shouted Eric from the stern. Yes, most assuredly we shall land there, returned Leif over his massive shoulder. It is enticing adventure thrown into our verv laps, so to speak. Having landed, the little band stood on the shining, sandy beacii and surveye d the green hills that stretched out toward the west. It was indeed a strange land, an unpeopled land, it seemed. Forward, men! ' ' shouted their leader. Let us press on! They pressed on eagerly, curiously. Soon they lost view of the ocean. Onward they went over dewy hills on that fresh summer morning. They tasted of the wild grapes hanging in luscious dark bunches from trailing vines. They tasted of the wild cherries that had reddened the ground in a verdant gro ' e. Thev drank from 14 THE CHIMEiS sparkling streams that gushed up out of the earth. This was a fruitful land, yielding sweet nectar, delicious foods. This was Val- halla ! Surely they had died ! They nuist have perished in thai dark, turl)ulent sea ! Finally they sat down to rest on a grassy knoll overlooking a deep pine forest, hut they had not rested long before they were surround- ed by strange men, mysterious, red-skinned men with hair as black as a stormy night sky. The Northmen jumped up as one creature and reached for their knives with strong fingers. Who are you? demanded the intrepid Lief. What race are you? Are you men? Arne felt dark arms encircle him. With a shout of horror he jumped back and freed himself. A fierce battle ensued. Both the Northmen and the Redmen fought, driven by a terrible fear of their mysterious foe, and eventually the Northmen were the victors, though bruised and battered victors. Bearing their wounded and dying on their shoulders, they returned to the shore. Exhausted they lay down on the warm sand. With his blue eyes closed, Arne lay a little apart from the rest, lay like a great tree felled in the forest, lay a picture of ruined strength, of spent vigor. The vision of old Solvieg passed before him, old Sol- vieg, weeping, lonely, waiting, hoping. Take care of her, Leif — Eric — somebody! Take care of her! It is not good for old, old women to be alone! Eric raised his head wearily. At the sight of Arne he rose and rushed toward him. Leif followed. Arne! Man, you are hurt! shouted Eric. Why didn ' t you cry out? It was that red devil ! Leif slowly shook his head over Arne ' s still form. Only a few moments and the angels will l)e bearing him upward. he murmured. At this moment a red-skinned maiden came forward. She was slim and light-footed, and wore a leather gown worked in bright beads. There was dreadful fear in her black eyes, but the lovely mouth was firm. She had ol)served the battle from the forest. She had seen the strange, pale, strong warrior leap with agility among the flashing knives and twisting bodies; she had seen him spring, to the defense of his comrade with the glorious daring of youth, sud- denly writhe in pain, and stumble silently toward the shore after the others. Gathering some herbs, she had followed them. A pul- sating fear had seized her heart, but she had kept on. Now the sight of him lying so quiet gave her courage. She waved the others away, and to their amazement she began treating his w ounds. THE CHIMEiS i§ For many months the Northmen stayed in this strange land. There were frequent battles with the hostile Redmen. Now the green of the trees was sprinkled with yellow, and the nights were cold. Arne was almost well. Every day Silver Star, the red-skin- ned maiden, came to him. Her mysterious, dark beauty intrigued him, and although he did not understand her words, he could read her every expression. Finally the Northmen prepared to return home. Arne, slimmer and a bit frail, moved languidly amidst the preparations. Come, Arne! ' ' cried Eric jovially. Think of the light in old Solvieg ' s eyes ! No, replied Arne slowly. I think rather of the beautiful, dark one who saved me from death, and I wonder why she did so. Not far away Silver Star was pleading with her father, a mighty hunter. Father, I cannot wed Bear Man. He is a powerful hunter and a good brave, luit the pale one has my heart. With that she fled through the forest toward the shore. She found Arne among the departing Vikings. She pressed his hand, and her eyes were luminous. It was as if words were spoken. Among you there is he who marries! cried Arne to the little band. Come, marry us ! But, Arne, exclaimed Eric, you know not what you do! She is dark; her hair is like night; her eyes — ! Beautiful, Eric, beautiful! laughed Arne. There on the shore they were married in the bright, clear sun-light of autumn. Then they embarked for home, and Silver Star went gladly with Arne, for she could not foresee the time when she would be waiting and waiting and waiting with the women of the North. THE STREAM Robert Chessia, ' 37 The silvery waters of the stream Bring back to life some happy dream; They seem to give a thought to me As on they journey to the sea. Away they flow o ' er rock and field A song of happiness they yield. And many a heart of both girl and boy Is filled to the brim with contentment and joy. 16 THE CHIMES IT ' S SPRING Harriet Poland, ' 34 A cool breeze is blowing through my hair. It l rings with it a fragrance suggestive of awakening flowers and plants. The trees above me rustle and seem to whisper tales to each other. Soft bil- lowy clouds move slowly across the azure heavens. The clothes on the line sway l)ack and forth gently with each breath of wind. The glow of the sun sheds a delicious warmth over the earth. T marvel at all this, for truly, was it not only yesterday that cruel bit- ing winds were blowing, that blinding snow storms raged, and that we sat shivering by our firesides ? Just above me a robin proclaims his joyous song; dow ny chicka- dees flit here and there. In the distance I hear the flicker calling loudly and the woodpecker hammering for his food. From the pond across the street comes the peeping of the frogs — to me, a most agreeable sound. The hens roam idly about, seeming to enjoy their newly-acquired freedom. Sir Pomposity, the rooster, takes a mighty whiff of the air, flaps his wings with great gusto and announces to all the world that he is lord and master of his domain. The mother hen clucks and the baby chicks come running at her call. From a neighboring yard I hear the pounding of hammers and the humming of saws. The voices of children at play sound from a nearby field. A cool breeze is blowing — the trees above me are rustling — soft clouds are moving across the sky — the birds are singing — all nature is stirring. Why certainly ! It ' s spring in my back yard ! THE EARLY HISTORY OF THE AIRPLANE Dudley Wade, ' 37 One of the first persons to become interested in aviation wa Leonardo da inci. He was the first real student of flight, and his sketches show many principles which are in use today. It was found at an early date that propellers or devices which bore through the air were necessary for propulsion. At first the efforts of man were toward the imitation of bird flght, that of flap- ping wings, but this was later found to be impractical. John String- fellow was the first man to make a successful model of an airplane. His model flew about forty yards. Langely was one of the first Americans to develop successful air- planes. He designed steam-driven models, one of which flew for half a mile. He constructed two full-size airplanes, but they met with THE CHIMEiS 17 disaster on their trial flights, and were wrecked. At the same time Maxim was conducting experiments in England. His airplane was of large proportions, and demonstrated a great amount of lifting power. The work of these two men was a great help to others who achieved success later. Otto Lilienthal, a German, developed a highly successful type of glider, and made several thousand flights. Chanute, an American, also made many glider flights, and contributed much information about the problem of stability in flight. The Wright brothers studied the experiments of other famous pioneers in aviation, and incorporating the ideas of these men and their own, they constructed a kite-glider in 1900 which was quite successful. After this they constructed a larger glider in which one had to lie flat on the frame to operate it, but it was not very success- ful. Following this they made several other gliders, attaining a fair degree of success. Then they constructed a powered plane which, made the first successful power-driven flight by man. In the years following this first great success they developed their planes until finally they had some of the first really efficient airplanes.

MASS 18 THE CHlMEiS PEDDLERS Jane Pitkin, ' 35 On July Fourth, 1931, niy mother. 1)rother and I diseniharked from the S. S. Leviathan at Plymouth, England, where after a few days ' stay we took a bus for Barnstable. Here we bought three nice, shiny bicycles from an old man called Mr. Beer, who strangely enough lived on Beer Street. He took the greatest amount of time and care to see that the bikes were properly adjusted, mox ing that seat up a little and putting this bar a mite back. Equipped with our shiny iron steeds, we set out to conquer new worlds (to us any way). Our route lay through the Lorna Doone Country and along the Severn River to Wells, an old walled town; then across the river at Bristol through a corner of hilly Wales be- side the River Wye to Sudbury and Stratford-upon-Avon, where we saw five or six Shakespearian plays in the ultra-modernistic theatre that is such a strange contrast to the quaint half-timbered buildings of Shakespeare ' s time. From Stratford we went to Oxford, Lon- don, finally arriving in Paris. For clothes we each had a pair of shorts, one moldy, mildewy dress or suit, and a rather leaky raincoat. These we put in a pack which was strapped to the back of the ])icycles. If you ever feel depressed because of lack of clothes, try wearing such a wardrobe for a month. At night we stayed at some (|uaint old inn or farmhouse or even at a pub house, where far into the night w e could hear the men argu- ing over their ale. Once we slept in an ancient gatehouse over the street, to which we had to mount an old, winding, stone staircase From this room they used to lower the portcullis (or iron gate) to keep the enemy out. My brother said that he saw the ghosts of the men who used to work it. For luncheon we sometimes carried picnic lunches or we stopped at some inn. Once we sat in a field adjacent to one where a regiment of soldiers were trying to hit a red balloon drawn by two airplanes, with anti-air-craft guns. First we could hear the officers ordering the men, then a tremendous bang, and about two seconds later a faint report with a puff of smoke near the balloon. I guess they were rookies because they didn ' t hit that balloon once. Sometimes when we saw the gray walls of an old castle perched high above us on a jagged rock, we would take time out to explore it. Tlie keeper would probably tell us tliat one of illiam the Conquer- or ' s nobles had built it and that the old ' ' keep went back to Saxon times. Standing among the ruins of the huge banquet hall, we THE CHIMES 19 couldn ' t help thinking of the royal feasts once held there or of the men who had spent their lives far below the surface of the earth in those dirty, dark dungeons. Three weeks to a month of this sort of thing is enough, and we were glad to sell our bikes in Oxford. The transaction brought us such a good price that we celebrated by punting on the Thames at night, although not very successfully for we managed to bump into a couple of other punters, much to their disgust. If you want to see England or any other country, this is my advice : Stay away from the big cities and American tourist centers, buy yourself a bike and a pair of shorts, and go to it ! THE RUNAWAY Grace Reynolds, ' 37 The sun blazed down fiercely upon the dusty highway that wound up and down through lofty crags and gloomy defiles of the northern Pyrenees. Along this road, two figures, small against the towering precipices, made their slow way. One was that of a typical peasant of Southern France, brawny and tall, with a sinister, hard look about him. The other, though dressed in the rough garments of a peasant boy, carried himself in a soldierly, erect way, and with his long, tapering hands and finely-molded head, presented a striking contrast to his rough companion. The older man was speaking, scornfully. What, tired already, Rene? After all these years on my farm, one w ould imagine thou wouldst have lost thy high-born ways — they are not suited to a poor peasant l)oy. Thou ' rt almost a man, now; we must have no more of this foolish posing. ' Thou hast no right to talk to me like that! retorted the boy, angrily. And who has a 1:etter right? Am I not thy father? ' ' Well do I know tho u art not! Do not think that I have lost the memory of conversations overheard when I w as a child. I often heard thee talking al:)out one who w as my mother, and other mysteri- ous things. Thou wouldst have me believe that I dreamt it, but 1 (lid not. I will find my mother some day. But see that immense hill we must climb! I will go not one step farther without rest. Go on and leave me, if thou wilt. Tlie peasant trudged on without a word, and Rene threw himself down on the cool grass by the road. Languidly he watched the sturdy figure of Jacques press up the steep hill, till, at the top, he saw him stop and, shading his eyes w ith his hand, stare of¥ into the 20 THE CHIMES distance. His curiosity aroused both by the attitude of Jacques and by a queer rumble which had reached his ears, he sprang up and hastened up the hill. Arriving at the top, he found himself on the edge of a steep cliff. Beneath this was another ledge. The road at this point could be seen for miles, stretching interminably into tlie distance. About half a mile away, on this road, Rene ' s startled eye caught sight of a carriage coming with tremendous speed, the coach;- man apparently unable to check the two horses. ' ' A runaway, announced Jacques, laconically. ' So it would seem, Rene retorted scornfully. We must do something. But what? ' Tis quite obvious what will happen, said Jac(|ues, stolidly. ' ' The horse, reaching that bend in the ledge down there, will dash off into space, and all will be lost. ' ' While thou wouldst stand here and gape, I suppose. What — all, I have it ! Swiftly Rene lowered himself over the edge of the cliff, clinging to the scant shrubs, unheeding the angry cries of Jacques. Fool ! the latter cried. Thou art mad ! But by this time. Rene had taken up his stand just above the curve. The rumble of hoofs became louder, and nearer and nearer came the two fiery horses. Breathing a silent prayer, Rene braced himself, and as the horses came al)reast of him, caught at the dangling bridle of the nearest horse and held on. At this moment he did not seem to be a weakling; indeed the strength of his arms seemed almost superhu- man. The horses pranced and leapt; the carriage swayed danger- ously on the narrow ledge, but Rene held f?st to the bridle. By degrees the horses quieted down, and Rene soothed them further by quiet words. Then the white and shaking coachman clambered down and approached the boy. But the artificial strength which had sustained Rene had ebbed aw ay, and he lay, fainting on the road. When he came to, he looked u]) into the face of a middle-aged woman. Something in her face was vaguely familiar, even in h half-conscious condition. He struggled to a sitting posture and stared fixedly at the w oman, seeing that her countenance was dis- torted with emotion. Boy, boy, she faltered, at is thy name? They say, he murmured, that it is Chantal, but it is not. I believe I am a waif, Aladam, though Jacques doth sav I am his child. And T believe thou are not ! Since when hast thou had that mark upon thy neck, my boy? ' she queried, leaning forward with excite- ment. HE CHIMES Always, Madam, I — he began, but at this point Jacques came up. The woman turned and faced him. ' ' Mon Dieu! ' ' he cried. ' Tt is she! ' ' And thou art the scoundrel for whom I have searched for four- teen years! Now thou shalt pay for thy crimes! the lady cried, with heat. I — I — pray thee, Madam, do not prosecute me ! Jacques cried. ' T kept the boy for his own good ! R — rather, I intended to bring him back, but could not find him — and you ! In his frantic attempts at explanation, Jacques was entangling himself in a maze of lies. ' ' Listen to me, peasant. Well dost thou deserve the guillotine for what thou hast done. But in my joy at finding my child, I will spare thee. See, however, that thou dost never show thyself near one of the Brebeaufs again ! Now go ! Then turning to the amazed boy, the lady clasped him to her bosom. With emotion, she explained that she was his mother. Graphically she drew a picture of two busy parents leaving a young child in the care of a peasant in a market of the far-oflf city of Paris: of their frenzied grief at finding both child and guardian gone when they returned; of fruitless searching years, while, in the meantime, the Brebeaufs had risen to enormous w ealth. Then she told him of her trip to Spain, how the horses had been maddened by the intense heat, and had run away, and then of her sentiments as she recognized her own boy by the birthmark on his neck, and by seeing Jacques. As she finished, Rene asked once again, Then thou art reallv my mother ? And I am Rene Brebeauf ? Yes, child, thou art. Now come, get into our carriage, and we will go to your father at Paris. With a sigh of utter happiness, Rene helped her into the carriage, and they rolled off. THE LARK Margaret Huntley, ' 37 Can you guess what is soaring ever so high. Sweeping up ever onward into the sky? It ' s a joyous lark with free little wings, Flitting and darting as gaily he sings. Upward and upward ever so high Away, far away, to the deep blue sky; Oh, if only everyone could be so free As the joyous lark that flies over the lea. 22 THE CHIMEiS STAND BY! Laura Cogswell, ' 35 Stand by, all stations! Stand by, all Americans! Stand by, the Byrd Expedition! How familiar these words are to most of us by now. They herald the coming of another broadcast by short wave, via Buenos Aires, from Little America ten thousand miles away. Impatiently we lis- ten to the music broadcast to those fifty-six men at the bottom of the world; eagerly we listen to Captain McKinley, a member of the first expedition, as he describes conditions in Antarctica; breathlessly v e turn down the volume of our radios to await the voice of Charlie Murphy saying, ' ' Little America calling America. Charlie Murphy speaking. Then we listen to all the latest news of the men down there. We hear of new cracks in the ice; of sled, plane, and tractor journeys; of narrow and thrilling escapes; and best of all, the voice of Admiral Byrd, explorer and leader of this expedition, his second to the South Polar Regions. The minutes fly so fast that before we know it the time is up, and Charlie Murphy is saying, ' This is station K F Z returning you to civilization. But, everything is not always so perfect. Sometimes the program fails to come through intelligibly, and a disappointed audience has to be content with the reading of wires received during the week. However, even if we don ' t hear it very clearly somtimes, this pro- gram is certainly worth listening to. In seventeen broadcasts, only once has this studio failed to receive any sound whatsoever from Little America. Radio is the only connection Byrd and his men will have with civilization for a year. If anything down there should go wrong — if the barrier should give way — then to quote Admiral Byrd, You might as well try to reach the moon as reach us. THE TALE OF A FLIVVER Jackson Bailey, ' 34 What ' s that snappy vehicle With the l)ig dent in the door? Why, that ' s the class excursion bus Of Nineteen Thirty-Four. THE CHIMES 23 ' Tis faithful as the one hoss shay To those who venture in, And there ' s not a word of protest though It makes an awful din. The car seems very-very-slow On errands for the school; It balks and jerks and sometimes stops, Methinks it ' s like a mule. But when upon our school-room scenes We gladly turn our backs, There ' s nothing in the whole wide world That the old flivver lacks. It slews around the corners and It shimmies to and fro; It doesn ' t seem as if the car Knew how to travel slow. It soon will meet its Waterloo, But there ' s nothing I wish more Than to have it die in the service of The Class of Thirty-four. A NEW DRESS J. Hendrickson, ' 34 Have you ever tried selecting a pattern for a ,dress with the aid of the family? If you have not, take my advice and don ' t try it. You are immediately surrounded with the latest fashion books, and a family with very varying ideas as to how a dress should be made. Mother turns over the pages of one book rapidly; Grandma goes more slowly: Big Sister lingers over various diaphanous creations, and you, you run back and forth among them trying to peep at all the styles at once. Mother sighs; she doesn ' t like any of them in this magazine. May she try another? All, willingly, give up their fashion pages, and a wild scramble to get each other ' s books ensues. A gasp of pleasure is heard from Grandma. (Why that ' s just like a dress her friend, Julia, had when she graduated from high school! Of course the skirt might have been a little different and the trim- mings a little more elaborate but the sleeves are exactly the same. Why, styles haven ' t changed much at all! 24 THE CHIMES A breezy exclamation from Big Sister interrupts these reveries and a chic dress — a simply suave style — is thrust into prominence. Mother and Grandma look aghast and wonder whether these child- ren are really sane. No mother would ever put this sophisticated gown on her naive young child. This wonder is voiced, and two young voices reply, No, of course not, but isn ' t it a gorgeous dress: Imagine trailing into a ' salon ' (that ' s what it makes you think of), garbed in this exotic creation. Wouldn ' t everyone gasp? A long lecture follows this, and finally you get down to business. The hundreds are thinned down to five or six dresses. Ah ! the final .decision. Father, immersed in a newspaper, emits only a smothered grunt when many voices clamor for his opinion. Brother can ' t see why it takes so long to pick out a dress. When he gets a new suit, he goes to a store and buys it. There ' s no delay like this when he buys anything! ' T want this one. No, I didn ' t see this one; I like it better than that, though. Do you think this would be becoming in flame-color- ed chiffon? Oh, I think Til have that simple little one in Vogue — no, it ' s in Pictorial, I guess. Yes, that ' s it. Do you like it? You do? Grand! LUXURY Madeline Bailey, ' 37 ' ' Mumsie ! AMiat can I do ? asked the restless young daughter of Jane Tyler. ' ' Why, Annette, think of all the new books you got for Christmas, and Daddy just bought ' Bright Star ' , the new horse. Why not ride him this afternoon? But, Mum ! I want some excitement ! travel ! romance ! luxury ! Jumpin ' Halibut ! I wonder what it would be like to sail or rather glide around in velvets! See? And she gracefully swept across the room in her plain, ordinary blue house-dress. Then she slumped into a big old arm chair saying, But there! What can you expect of the little one horse town of Lone River? I think . But she never finished the sentence; instead she gave a horrified scream. Out through the parlor window she saw two beautiful cars crash together amid the screeching of brakes and smashing of glass. In a split second Annette was out of the door and tugging at the door of one of the overturned cars. An elderly gentleman was crouched inside, bent over the crushed steering wheel. He had a bad cut on his forehead and his wrist was THiE CHIMES 25 badly bruised. With the help of an axe, she managed to get the injured man out of the car and upon the grass. Her mother brought her some bandages, and Annette bound them on the wounds. Then, when she had felt his pulse, she ran to the other car. When she got there, she found that the occupant was moaning, but was unable to move. The victim was a young man of about twenty- five. He was soon taken to the Tyler home, and it was found that he had a broken leg. The elder gentleman went home that afternoon, but Mrs. Tyler insisted that Don Putnam, the boy that was hurt, stay at the home- stead. The weeks flew by and Annette and Don became close friends. Finally Annette Tyler and the rich young Don Putnam were mar- ried, and Annette had her wish — Excitement ! Travel ! Romance ! Luxury ! SMILING Elizabeth Banner, ' 36 Smiling is a virtue, It acts as daily bread; It takes away the cares of Life, And leaves joy in its stead. For one who ' s always smiling. We love to have around; But one who ' s ever frowning- Will keep our spirits down. So let us take the simple word. To guide us every day; Thus make the world a smiling one, As we go on our way. Miss Mahn: You know what the early bird gets, don ' t you? Toomey (sleepily) : ' ' Yeah, my goat. Miss Dudley: ' AVhy did the prisoner swoon? Bo Harrigan: Because he fainted.

Creelman gave us a very interesting talk on teamwork. Mr. Cole, Captain Graham and Thomas Curran also addressed the stu- dent body. Several of the Senior girls were among those serving refreshments at the Woman ' s Club Annual Guest Night. October 20 we had the pleasure of hearing Colonel Schuyler speak at the mass meeting before the game with Cohasset. November The moving picture sponsored by the Junior class on November 21 was a great success. The pictures Saturday ' s Millions and Tillie and Gus were shown. December The football team was given a banquet at Hugo ' s. The boys presented Coach Stewart with a gold football. J. Burke, a sports writer from the Brockton Enterprise, was guest speaker, and speeches wxre made by the senior and post-graduate members of the team and by Mr. Cole. The week before Christmas a double quartet from the four class- es sang Christmas Carols at the opening exercises. Monday the Seniors sang; Tuesday, the Freshmen; Wednesday, the Juniors; Thursday the Sophomores. Friday a Christmas assembly was held and each class provided ten minutes ' entertainment. The seniors finally selected as their play Captain Applejack, by Walter Hackett. Mrs. Pitkin consented to be coach.

Hines, character impersonator and play actor, pre- sented the i)lay David Garrick on the 18th. Miss Olivia Hall also entertained the school with selections on the harp. Miss Hall, though only ten years old. is very talented. The Otis Tests of Mental Ahility were given to the students of the High school. The Senior Class presented a movie at the Satuit Playhouse on the 25th. The two pictures S. O. S. Iceberg with Rod La Rocque and Horseplay with Slim Summerville were shown. January 30 Garrison Hall took pictures of some of the pupils ia action in the chemistry laboratory. February At 7.45, Friday morning, February 9, the fire whistle blew 3-1-3. This signaled that there was no school because of the extreme cold weather. W ork was started on the scenery for the Senior Class play, under the direction of Mrs. W ard, Miss Barbara Coleman and Paul Quinn. March March 13. The Scituate-Marshfield Teachers ' Association held a meeting in the library of the school. The program consisted of music by the Hall trio, a travel lecture with moving pictures, and a short talk on the Teachers ' Retirement Act by Mr. Gillespie. March 16 and 17. Captain Applejack, ' ' the Senior Class play, was presented. ]March 12. The pictures of the various athletic teams, Chimes Board, and Senior Class were taken in groups. Individual pictures were also taken. Friday, March 24. Mr. Robert Ewing from the 4-H Club show- ed movies and gave a lecture on farm and garden work. The date for the Junior Prom was selected as May 11. Louise Barnes, ' 34 Gilman ilder, ' 35 Kathryn Flaherty, ' 36 Dudley ade, ' 37 Class Editors Rastus and Liza visited the Central Park Zoo. Everything went well until they came to the zebras. What kind of a animal is dat? ' ' demanded Liza. For a moment Rastus didn ' t know what to say, for he had never seen that animal, either. Then he answered loftily, Why, Liza, dat am a sports model mule. THE CHIMES 35 DID YOU KNOW THAT— Two of the pupils of Scituate High have been ' ' on the air. John Stone, a Junior, had the privilege of playing the piano over station WBZ, on the Junior Radio School program sponsored by the Remington Rand Typewriter Company. John says it was lots of fun, but he regretted that he wasn ' t able to be at home hearing himself play. Last fall, Dorothy Spear of the Senior Class, went to the studio of station WHDH at the Hotel Touraine, where she played the harmon- ica. It was an interesting experience for her, and she hopes to do it again soon. Giertrug Schuyler came within four shots of winning the National Record when she won the New England Foul Shot championship this year. She sank thirty-nine out of fifty shots, thirty of whicli were consecutive. Eleanor Merritt has received a certificate in typewriting for her speedy and accurate work. Edith Russell has received an O. G. A. certificate in shorthand. We congratulate both of them. So far, Henry Duval has attended eight schools. Better still, Irene Johnson has been to eleven schools in twelve years. Now that they are here, we hope they ' ll stay. Found ! At North Scituate, a girl thirteen years old who has never been but twenty miles from her home town ! She has been up in the air only seventy feet — when she climbed Lawson ' s tower, and has been down seven feet — when she went down cellar. We ' re proud of the fact that ' ' Miss Scituate has twice been chos- en from the ranks of the Senior Class. Both Giertrug Schuyler and Marion Yenetchi have had this honor given to them. Alice Sampson ' s knowledge of swimming as a Junior Life Saver has already been of great value. Last summer she saved two child- ren from drowning. We congratulate Alice on such a fine record. Irene Johnson has been in all but eight states of the United States. At Everglades, Miami, Florida, she watched some Seminole Indians hunt alligators. Also, she has ridden in a Good Year Tire dirigible. On February 19, 1934, the thermometer registering 16 degrees above zero, Evelyn Stonefield, Regina Byron, Gilman Wilder and Jack Barry went swimming. And right in the midst of all the ice ! For some mysterious reason, the aforesaid people became subject to numbness, chills, stiff necks, colds and various other ailments. As yet we have not been able to discover the cause, but further inquiry may explain it. However, Scituate High School is pleased to present these four people with the title First Swimmers of 1934. 36 THE CHIMES X ir iiiia Kent had the good fortune to spend last Fourth of Ju ly at the Chicago World ' s Fair. According to her, this was the hest J ' )urth of July she has ever had. A Senior girl, Gertrude Reynolds, once found five hundred dol- lars in cash on the front steps of her home in Boston. The money had been placed on the steps by a woman while she tied her shoe, and she had then forgotten to take her pocketbook with her. Gerl returned the money but got no reward. Doris Simmons has certainly traveled. She has been abroad seven times. The last time she went, she visited Japan and China. Doris was very lucky in that she left China just two weeks before the great- est earthquake occurred. From China she went to Russia and thence to Germany, France, and Spain. At Madrid, Doris went to a bull fight. As she described it, A manager assigned two men on horse- back to take places in the field, and another man on foot to take his place in the center, all armed with spears. Finally the bull was let loose. The man in the center held his cloak teasingly at the bull, who, when he was within two feet of the enemy, charged. But mucli to his chagrin the enemy had retreated. When the man got close again, he quickly pulled the cloak from one side to the other. This made the bull very angry, and he was ready to charge again when a spear was thrust into his side, weakening him. With raging anger he fought on while the two men on horseback came to the aid of Jhe man on foot. Two more spears were thrown, but the bull charged on and killed one of the horses. Another horse was brought in to take the place of the one lost, and so the fight continued until all the bulls were killed. Would you like to do something very extraordinary? Then teach in a Chinese Sunday School. At least, that ' s wdiat June Hendrick- son does. June says that as she enters the Sunday School she is greeted by a raucous noise which sounds as though it might be music — and supposedly is — only it is sung in Chinese. After the exercises are over, a very polite young man may be sent to her, who discusses several articles in the Reader ' s Digest and ends by asking her to read ' ' Hamlet with him. She says that the best way to gain the whole-hearted approval of her students is to learn a few words of their language. This results in immediate friendship. Virginia Keckley has attended school in Porto Rico. The lessons were taught in a little wooden 1)uilding by teachers who spoke Span- ish. All the lessons except English were taught in Spanish so that Virginia found school difficult at first. In several months, however, she could speak Spanish quite fluently. THE CHIMES 37 ATHLETIC nCTES BOYS ' ATHLETICS FOOTBALL The Scitiiate High football team had another successful year — los- ing only one league game. The team played very hard football al the year. The hardest and best game of them all was when the small Scituate team went to Quincy and held the first North Quincy eleven to eighteen points and scored one of the two touchdowns scor- ed against North Quincy all the year. The captain of the Scituate High team was Dunk Graham. It was coached by a graduate of Boston College, and also a local man, Mr. Ed Stewart. The manager was Julius Jacobucci. Injuries to Lester Gates of a sprain- ed ankle and to Joe Lavoine of a broken collarbone were the only mishaps during the season.

FRANCIS STANLEY, ' 34 Boys ' Athletic Editor GIRLS ' ATHLETICS BASKETBALL This year ' s basketball season proved to be a great success, thanks to Miss Whidden. With practically the same team as that of last year, the girls found little competition during the season. The first team consisted of Captain ' ' Babe Schuyler, Evelyn Stonefield, Vir- ginia Vines, Alice Stewart, Eileen Newhausel, and Alberta Turner. Others receiving letters were Manager Rosemary Byron, Lois Mc- Cleary, Ethel Pennell, Virginia Young, Ruth Stonefield, Rosalie Creelman and Peggy Soule. They won all the league games, and beat Hanover on the Scituate floor but lost on the Hanover floor. This gave to the 1934 team the much-coveted South Shore Cham- pionship. This is the first time Scituate has held the championship since it was won by the team of 1928, which was captained by Gret- chen Schuyler. The scores of the games were as follows : Scituate 40, Norwell 19 Scituate 36, Alumni 25 Scituate 40, Hanover 27 Scituate 38, Pembroke 12 Scituate 38, Marshfield 19 Scituate 34, Hanover 45 Scituate 48, Duxbury 31 Scituate 49, Marshfield 17 Scituate 59, Norwell 32 Scituate 45, Duxburv 24 HOCKEY Beginning their third year of hockey under the able direction ci Miss Ruth WHidden, the girls showed a decided improvement. 40 THE CHIMES THE CHIME,S 41 They defeated Braintree, Plymouth and Hanover, and tied Hingham twice and Marshfiekl once. They were defeated hy Marshfield on the return game only after their star full back, Rosemary Byron, was injured and taken from the game. Those receiving letters were as follows : Captain All erta Turner, Manager Carol Vollmer, Pris- cilla Jones, Regina Byron, Evelyn Stonefield, Jane Pitkin, Betty Bar- tington, Giertrug Schuyler, Rosemary Byron, Virginia Young, Vir- ginia Vines, and Virginia Stevens. The scores of the games were as follows : Scituate 1, Braintree 0 Scituate 0, Hingham 0 At the end of their season the girls ventured to Newton to par- ticipate in the high school tournament in which all the Greater Bos- ton teams were entered. Scituate was matched against Waltham and defeated them one to nothing. Mike : ' ' You know that wasn ' t the kind of liniment I told you to get. Gates : Well, you don ' t need to rub it in. Mr. Gillespie : Now, Miss Neuhausal, what is another name for H20? Eileen: Hydrogen oxide. Mr. Gillespie: I like original w ork. Peddler: Would you like to buy a hooked rug, Madam?

This unusual success was due in no small way to the exceptional coaching ability of Mrs. Donald Pitkin. The players showed marked ability in being able to put over such a difficult performance. The actors and actresses were as follows: Lush Garrison Hall Poppy Faire Elizabeth Eason Mrs. Agatha Whatcombe Doris Overland Ambrose Applejohn Jackson Bailey Anna Valeska Dorothy Studley Mrs. Pengard Ruth Spear Horace Pengard Harold Withem Ivan Borolsky Lester Gates Palmer Carol Vollmer Dennet Vincent Dwyer Johnny Jason Harold Toomey Pirates : — F. Stanley, G. Herbert, L. Graham, A. Finnic, L Lincoln, F. Studley, M. Poland. Act L The Adventure. Act H. The Dream. Act HI. The Romance. The scene of the play was laid in the library of Ambrose Apple- john ' s house at Polperren, Cornwell. Yt have the following people to thank for our excellent scenery : Mrs. AA ' ard, Mr. Paul Quinn, Miss Barbara Coleman, and Mr. Riley. Miss June Hendrickson and Miss Harriet Poland did very fine work with the costumes with the help of Miss MacFarlane. Mr. Ronald Shone proved himself an efficient stage manager. He also assisted Mr. Arnold Weeks, who kindly did the lighting effects for us. THE CHIMEiS 43 At Christmas the members of the Senior French Class gave a scene in French from ' ' Little Women. The dramatization was written by the members of the class themselves. Those who took part were as follows : Hannah, Gertrude Reynolds; Mother, Ruth Spear; Meg, Harriet Poland; Jo, Carol Vollmer; Beth, June Hendrickson; Amy, Elizabetii Eason.

Pianologue, Eleanor Reid. On January 18, Mr. John E. Hines, character impersonator and play-actor, presented David Garrick or On My Honor as an Actor. Mr. Hines is certainly a talented impersonator.

Captain Applejack: Yes, turned over to the Museum of Natural History. 44 THE CHIMES CLASS OF 1933 Winifred Bartington has recently finished a course at the Bur- roughs School.
