24 THE CHIMES ENTERTAINMENTS During the year 1936-1937 we were exceptionally fortunate in having many entertaining assemblies on Wednesday mornings. The programs were made possible by the one-act play contest held in the fall, the proceeds of which went to the assembly fund. On Wednesday, October 7, a tercentenary program was held. Mrs. Frank L. Nason, State Regent of the Daughters of the American Revolution, who wrote the pageants for the tercentenary observances this summer, spoke on the History of Scituate. November 10 an Armistice Day assembly, conducted by members of the Satuit Post of the American Legion, was held. At this assembly the winners of the Armistice Day essay contest, sponsored by the American Le- gion, were presented with medals, and their essays were read. The members of the Parent-Teacher Association were guests at our Christmas program held the afternoon of December 22. The Junior High presented a Christmas pageant even more beautiful than that of last year, and the Senior High presented a short play, Why the Chimes Rang. For years John S. Hines has delighted the pupils of Scituate High with his plays, and his presentation of If I Were King, January 13, was as clever and amusing as ever. On January 20 Mr. Talbot of the Audubon Society gave a very inter- esting talk on conserving natural resources. He spoke also of the fast dis- appearance of the birds and wild life of the country and condemned waste- ful and useless killing. The Olympian Male Quartet from the College of Music at Boston Uni- versity gave a musical program February 10. They sang n egro spirituals, sea chanteys and old time songs, and so delighted the audience that they were called back for several encores. On March 24 Mr. Ralph Ford of Kingston gave a most interesting talk on Indian relics. He illustrated his lecture with samples of relics found along the South Shore. All the year we had been hoping for a magician ' s program and on March 31 our hopes were realized. Mr. Mai Cameron mystified us for an hour with tricks that defied understanding. He was assisted in a few tricks by members of the student body, called from the audience. A moving picture screen was installed in the fall and many pictures were shown during the year. Among these were three reels of graphic Wdrld War films, a sound film on sno trains and a baseball picture, Heads Up Baseball, with Mr. George Moriarty, American League umpire. We are all grateful to Mr. Calkin for arranging these assemblies which broke up the monotony of the school week and gave us something to look forward to on Wednesdays.

ELKIND, VINCENT Transferred from Belmont High, Tennis 4, Class Play 4. Whenever Mr. Gille.spie wants a complicated math, problem solved, he, calls on his right-hand man, Vinny.
