She now has over one hundred of these pictures. Danny Yuhr was out in a boat one day helping his father haul lobster traps close to shore. He happened to look overboard and saw a fin slic- ing the water. It was a shark! Danny says he ' ll never call his boat a ship when he thinks of that. Ph Ili Cobbett ' s hobby is collecting post- marks which she keeps in a looseleaf notebook. She has postmarks from all the states of the United States and some from the countries of Holland, Germany, England, and Scotland. She has made a map on which she indicates the place from which they came. Paul Miles has a hobby of collecting post cards. To date he has about 800 postcards which have come from about every state in the Union and from other countries. Madeline Riani ' s favorite hobby is collecting pictures and statues of horses. At present she has over 400 pictures and statues. Tom ilbur ' s hobby is fixing watches. He also trades and sells them. He has good luck with his hobby and has had plenty of business. Just before school opened Ann Hefferman took part in several contests in a horseshow. She won six ribbons, of which two were first l)rize ribbons and four were third prize ribbons. Eleanor Bates has a hobby of sending away for things for school purposes. She has received materials from Oregon, New York, Ohio. Illi- nois, Canada and parts of Nova Scotia. One dav Robert Holcomb traded a stamp and in return got an old American. LTpon looking it up in the catalogue he found it was worth $19.50. He is saving it as it will be worth much more in the coming years. Jimmie McCarthy certainly has skill as an animal trainer. He has trained his aoats to the harness and the goats are as good as ponies. We expect to hear Jim has entered a goat race.

One mornins; Richard Flaherty heard a bird chirping very loudly. When he investigated he found that it was a sparrow with a broken wing. He and his father applied a splint and nursed it to health. Dick released the bird and hasn ' t seen it since. Richard Brown sent away for a stamp set. Upon sorting the various stamps he found an old, old English stamp. He laid it away and later found it was worth fifty dollars. Richard is saving the stamp for a rainy day. Some of the boys represented the seventh grade in a play sponsored by the Scituate Nau- tical Patrol. The group included Richard Dwyer, Robert Glynn and Richard Ewell. During the magazine drive for the score board Sarge Bartlett was in charge of the records of 7A. The total for the room was S26.00. In 7B Paul Miles was in charge of the money. The total for the room was S16.00. During the Junior Red Cross drive the girls and boys contributed hand-made scrap books and toys for small children in a sanitarium. During the middle part of March Elaine Brown was out of school because of an attack of appendicitis. The class sent her some flowers. BY THE FIREPLACE By Rocco Foniri, Grade 8 Its beauteous glow haunts every darkened scene That within my heart has ever been; An evening of memories by the lire so bright Will drive the gloom and make dark days bright. Love, peace, and joy in my heart will ring, Misty eyes will brighten and voice will sing. A Decision (Continued from page 24) when he ' s got two fellows around like these, I don ' t know. Guess I ' ll tell them what I ' ve decided before we land. He called both of them and told them they were almost at Nome, and he hoped they ' d have a good time for themselves. You know, he said, I ' ve decided that since you ' re both such fine salesmen, I couldn ' t pick one without picking the other; so I ' ve made up my mind not to retire just now. I ' m going to work one more year and then make you two partners. O.K.? Oh, happy day! Ditto. And they all lived happily ever after. SPRING FEVER By Forbes McLean, Grade 7 About this time ev ' ry year Spring fever brings me season ' s cheer. The birds go whirling o ' er my head And up pop flowers that I thought dead. There ' s a brand new fragrance in the air That sends me joy from heel to hair; The dreary trees and dull white snow. Give way to spring ' s new fashion show. « THIS LAND By Paul Turner, Grade 7 The soldiers fought to save this land So why not up and lend a hand? Columbus came across the sea To find this land for you and me. He came to America in ' 92 And found this land for me and you; He had the raging sea to roam To make this land our home sweet home. EXCHANGES Doris Anderson, ' 41 Bfxause of late publication of other schools, we are unable to comment on many of their magazines. However, in past years we have found them very interesting books. The schools Avith which we exchange are Concord High School. Kingston High, Duxburv High, Norwell High, Brookline High, Hanover High, and Oliver Ames School. The Barnstable High School magazine, The Clipper, contains some wonderful stories, which show that they have many writers of remarkable ability. The Abhis of Abington High School con- tains many excellent poems. Their alumni notes are also very complete. We have received many letters recently from schools saying they are not going to have year books this year because of the cost. It is hoped by all that next year they may again exchange with us. The books which we have received are kept on file where anyone who is interested may read them.
