Abbie Barnes, ' 42 These spring days and the many opportu- nities waiting for us in the world today find our senior class ready and anxious to graduate. In a few weeks weTl be getting our diplomas, and then our numerous abilities will be used for various serious purposes. Some of us will go out to get jobs; some will go on to higher schools and colleges to prepare for business or profes- sions; and many of the boys will be training to serve in the armed forces of the United States. No matter where we may be or what we ma) be doing, all of us will be helping to bear the burdens of our government. Whether we go on to school, get jobs, or join the service, we shall all assume more and heavier responsibilities: and as citizens of a country like ours, we shall be proud to do our very best for it. Come what may, we should all prepare our- selves for the tasks that will confront us. and make the best of the many opportunities that are given to us. It has been said that young people never realize until after they graduate how lucky the) are to be able to go to school. Perhaps some don ' t, but in such hectic times as these most of us probably do realize it. Ever since we ' ve been old enough to understand what was going on in Europe, we ' ve been told that many young ])eople our own age over there were deprived of the opp(jrtunities of getting a lib- eral education such as we may have if we want it, so that by now, we ought to fully realize the advantages of having a democratic government which is so liberal. No matter whether we are in the armed service, or whether we are a part of the national defense program, if we apply the results of our liberal education and work together, we ' ll help our country out of this tur- moil. As we come to the close of our high school years, we all have one thought and hope in our minds — that soon, very soon, peace shall pre- vail throughout all the countries of the world. INVASION AND DEFEAT Barbara Murphy, ' 42 Many of us have wondered how people feel to be suddenly overcome by a foreign nation, and how they are affected when they lose the freedom that they have been accustomed to for many years. I have corresponded for some time with a girl in Holland. She is about my age, and is as proud of Holland as we are of America. I think she is typical of many people who have put up a stubborn resistance, but have finalh had to ) ield to the enemy. 14 ©DnDiiiiiies Before the invasion of Holland, she was very confident of Holland ' s defenses. She said that for a small country. Holland was well defended, and that thev had flooded their lands so as to make Holland harder to invade. She even made fun of Hitler and of his shouting when he was addressing an assembly. Then on May 10. 1939. war actually did come to Holland. She expressed her thoughts of war when she wrote. Oh. Barbara, there is nothing so terrible as war. On one of the first days of the invasion of Holland, her family re- ceived a telegram, that her brother had been seriously wounded. She described very vividly the automobile trip to reach him through smol- dering towns, dead bodies and fires — and then their disappointment at finding him dead — and the cross which stands over his grave with the inscription. Here lies Martin Herman Kerstolt, fell for land and queen at the age of only twenty years. She herself barely escaped death when a stray bullet flew beside her head. Now. as she says it is a little more quiet there; people have been rebuilding homes and towns, and starting over again under a new gov- ernment. Her recent letters are of course cen- sored, and they fail to arrive as regularly as before. She very cleverly avoids saying any- thing which the censors might cross out. She has mentioned Dr. Seyps-Inquart. their German chief. She has remarked that perhaps we felt things were worse than they really were, but in contrast to this she has expressed her desire to come to America. She has noted also that she wishes she could say what she thinks. I feel that her thoughts concerning her coun- try ' s defeat are typical of those of other con- quered people. Certainly people who have been used to freedom as we know it. niust find it extremely hard to suffer having this freedom removed. It is difficult for us in America to imagine losing our freedom. We should there- fore be deeply s nipathetic with these people, and work not only to secure our own liberty, but to win back freedom for all conquered people. THE WAR EFFORT: How It Affects High School Students Edward Gilchrist, ' 42 At this time in the history of our country, the war effort is paramount in the thoughts of many high school students. We want to do every- thing possible to help win the war. but we want to do it sensibly and in the right way. When Japan unleashed her treacherous attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7. the whole L nited States awoke from its lethar gy with a start, realizing for the first time that war was actually upon us. Man of the senior bovs wanted to enlist in the naval or armed forces immediately in order to do the most they could for their country. After the first frenzy of war had died down, however, everyone finally real- ized that they probably would be more valuable to the war effort if they stayed in school and got their diplomas. Then they would be better equipped to become efficient soldiers and better citizens of the post-war world. The girls too were anxious to do their bit for their country, and wondered what the could do to help. Of course they couldn ' t join up and fight but they could help the boys who did do the fighting. All over the country women and girls by the thousands began knitting sweaters, caps, and other warm things and establishing community houses where the soldiers could get a bit of companionship and relaxation. Now, however, since we ' ve recovered from our first war time frenzy and are settling down to a steady effort for victory, we all must stop and think what we can do to help the war effort. There are innumerable wa)s to help, but here are a few. The boys can become assistant air- raid wardens or volunteer firemen; they can collect waste materials, a project which is both profitable and ])atriotic: and they can help dur- ing possible air raids by knowing first aid and other things that are necessary. The girls can knit for the soldiers and sailors: they can help at the L .S.O. centers and other similar jjlaces; and lhe also can learn first aid and what to do during an air raid. An(jthcr thing that both boys and girls can do. as well as evervbod) else, is to buy defense l)onds and stamps. The soldiers are helpless uidess the) ha e equipment to fight with, and the equipment is made possible b) the dollais that we invest in defense stamps and bonds. We all love our country and everything it stands for; so let us buy all the bonds and stamps we can and help in ever way possible so that our freedom will be assured for our- selves and our posterity.  Heard in Locker-room — ■ Of course I wouldn t say an thing about her unless I could sa something good.

I am hoping lo hear some II I music, but no luck! As the sounds grow more distinct, what do I hear but someone extolling the merits of the corn cereal. Korny. Maybe the product is corny, but it has nothing on the announcer. 1 think savagely to myself as 1 turn the dial. The sound of nuisic strikes my ear. liopefulh 1 adjust the dial lo bring the station in more clearly. This lime 1 hear Anton Dvorak ' s Hu- moresque as played by the New York Philhar- monic Orchestra, no less. Grindy I go on turning the dial. Soon I am given explicit directions as to how to get the most for my money by buying Sud-z, the new improved soap for washday. Buy some TO- DAY! In this same harsh, raspy voice I hear the usual plaintive queries: Will our friends return safely? Does Maggie Snoop find her lost lover? Listen tomorrow to ' The Life of Maggie Snoop ' and find out. With great disgust I turn the dial to yet an- other station. My ears prick u|) (figuratively, of course) as I hear Glenn Millers orchestra. Blissfully I settle back to enjoy it and start my homework I never can do anything unless I ' m listening to the radio I . Now it ' s all fixed, not so soft that I have to make an effort to listen to it nor yet so loud that I have to make an effort not to listen to it. Did you ever try to concentrate on The House of Seven Gables while listening to In the Mood ? The picture of Hepzibah and Clifford hearing such music strikes my fancy. I chuckle silently to myself, still automatically turning the pages, but. strangely enough, missing half the story. I am brought suddeidy back to my senses by a call equivalent to Come and gel it! Will I. I think, and fall half way downstairs in my frenzied attempts to get to the table. Supper over, dishes done, once again I turn m thoughts to homework.

I chase upstairs to find my math book, tripping over everything in sight, not to mention the things out of sight. Victo- rious. I again arrive at the phone. Not having llie first idea how the problems are done, I sit down and start explaining, hoping the inspi- ration will come. As usual 1 end u|) taking th- direi lions. Math s all done. I sing trium- phantly to myself. Upstairs again 1 think. There s an essay that really should be written tonight. Il ' s two days late already: still belter late than never. I sit down, pencil poised just ready to set my inspira- tions down. There ' s just one thing wrong, — I have no inspirations. Accordingly I think. A few more days won ' t matter much. Again I turn to the wireless. Just as another commercial comes on, I fall asleep. Yes, yes! Great invention the radio. SOUNDS Maria Mansfield, ' 43 Foreword: With all due respect to Henrv David Thoreau s appreciation of homely, wood- land sounds. I give them a different interpre- tation. 1 have spent a day and a night in ap- proximately the same surroundings that he describes.   - Mv house was on the side of a hill, a few yards from a beautiful pond, slightly stagnant to be sure, but covered by soft, luxuriant scum and encircled by slimy logs, briers, and small holly trees. The delightful stillness was punctu- ated by the sneezes of my brother, whose ha - fever was irritated by the goldenrod, and th ' mournful but delicious sound of a dog. howling and barking at a squirrel that he had treed. Thrilled by these delightful woodland sounds. 1 wandered idly to the shores of the pond. As I looked out upon its smooth, scummy surface. 1 heard a plop, as if a wet dish rag had been thrown in a dish pan full of soapy, greasy water. It was an entrancing little turtle with orange spots on its back. Continuing along the path thai bordered the pond. I encountered one of the aforementioned little dirtv wet dogs. As much surprised as I, he scuttled off in the bushes, 16 ratlliiig them as he passed. Since the sound of leaves pushing and scraping against one another is as dear to me as is the sound of Take Off Your Shoes, Baby, and Start Running Throuuli My Mind by Artie Shaw, I started to make my way toward the crest of the hill. Pausing a moment on the va up. I looked hack and surveyed my irregular path, which 1 had fondh imagined was straight as any Iro- quois ' . 1 had passed thickets of beautiful shinv thorns, which had emitted pleasant crunching noises as I struggled through, two patches of pine trees, which have a fond way of putting sharp, dry little twigs in your eye. and one delightfullv moist, little swamp, which made pleasant sucking noises as I alternately put in and drew out my feet. Continuing my trip up to the top of the hill, my feet squished and gurgled in my wet sneak- ers. Finally, reaching my goal. I sat down and looked out over the surrounding countryside. Sitting there. 1 was regaled by the melodious sound of mv father, who had found out that someone had lost the keys to the car and who was exclaiming over how he was going to use the car if there weren ' t any keys - !? Ah, what delightful sounds! I jumped to my feet and raced back to the house, eager to learn new and interesting phrases. Arriving at the house. I heard the arresting but not unusual sounds of a family in an up- roar. — drawers banging on the floor in search of the lost keys: a male parent ranting u]) and down looking frantically: the radio going full blast with ' The Shadow as a main attraction: the dog. who had forgotten the squirrel flving hysterically between everyone ' s legs looking for the shortest route between himself and a belea- guered rat — it sounded like home!

In their faces I see their hunger for freedom — the w ill to live, the will to die for the right we adore. Their eyes are filled with tears — memories of iiome. We lidc on and on.

We are taken to the fort that is to teach us of destruction, and the guards close the gates upon us. A group of men come over to the truck. The leader has a large tanned face.

Never was there a busier little EIbSto ' thoroughfare, with trucks, wagons, and horse-carts, ancient automobiles and bicycles perpetually bumping a long up and down the narrow space between the untidy side- walks. Papers, cans, garbage, and all manner of filth stopped up the gutters and lay strewn over the tiny spaces of lawn in front of the tumble- down, three-storied houses. The broken steps and shattered windows, the grimy, scanty washes on the lines, the dirty, tattered curtains, if the inhabitants were fortunate enough to afford this luxury — all shrieked aloud of poverty in its most pathetic form. Nothing but a dead-end road, but it wasn ' t so dead that the city folks didn ' t rise up and demand of the mayor that something be done about the condition existing there. The little urchins who inhabited the crowded, dirty flats were unsafe even on the sidewalks. The cause of the hustle in this insignificant alley was the dump a little to the left at the foot of the street. This was the destination of nearly every truck, wagon, and car that turned off the main road down this dusty way. As a mere matter of duty, the mayor had ridden past the-street-without-a- naine. glanced at the rows of forlorn-looking buildings standing like veterans of the last war, and gone on his way with barely a second thought about it. Three weeks later the only improvement was a shiny new sign at the en- trance reading: Not a through street. Many an accident had been witnessed here. Just because the people were poor, the drivers seemed to care little whether or not they ran them down. At the dump where the little boys went to watch the big trucks emptying their loads, many a little fellow left, half-blinded by dirt which flew in all directions from the spin- ning, skidding wheels as the trucks backed up and turned around. On that |}articular spring day, for spring dared to venture even into this foul place to try to brighten it up, a Sun-kissed Orange crate, rolling along on four baby-carriage wheels, mingled with the rest of the scurrying traffic. It dodged in and out among trucks and cars, missing each pair of wheels so closely it made one gasp, and yet ignoring the honking horns and curses of the motorists. There were two men in this unusual contrap- tion. You ' re wondering what two men were do- ing in an orange crate cart? Well, perhaps they weren ' t quite men yet. for the elder one had just recently arrived at the ripe old age of nine years. His face, however, appeared to be wrinkled and careworn by the furrows of dirt turned over by tears which had definitely not occurred within the past hour, for there was no trace of melan- choly in his face at that moment. He had blond hair which looked as though it were comb-shy, and blue, determined eyes whose resoluteness didn ' t quite conceal the boyish humor and dev- iltry in them. His mouth was set in a tight, thin line, intent on steering, and when his lips parted in a too-infrequent smile, a perfect set of teeth was revealed. Despite his wishes to the con- trary, a very pronounced dimple was visible in each thin cheek. Although he was scarcely more than a mass of skin and bones, defiance was stamped in every feature, and every movement of his skinny little body appeared to be a chal- lenge to the world. This isn ' t a customary or a pleasant thing to see in such a little lad, but Laurie lived in a world where he had always been pushed around, and he had learned, even at this tender age, that the only way to get along was to push back. Laurie ' s companion on this ride was a boy two years his junior, a fact which automatically appointed Laurie chief order-giver and manipulator of the wagon. Their destina- tion, along with that of all the others, was the dump, where they were going to make their daily haul. It was wonderful, all the interesting stuff little boys could fish out of the pile at the end of each day. Having arrived at the dump. Laurie pro- ceeded to back up. while his partner stood in back of him, frantically waving his arms and shouting directions. It was very realistic. With a little stretching of the imagination, one could almost see two rough men matieuvering a huge truck up the banking. This laborious task ac- complished, the boys passed a solid hour rooting among the trash and selecting the choice articles. They loaded the cart with their treasures and started down the banking again. Not q uite at- tentive to his driving now, Laurie turned his head to exclaim. Chee. ain ' t that a classy gun! And in that fraction of a second, four gigantic wheels, speeding backwards with murderous in- tent, crushed the sturdy little cart as if it were a niatthbox. The younger fellow, terror in his innocenl eves, tugged at Laurie ' s arm and suc- ceeded in puUiiis; him hack oxer the edge of the crate, hut he was onh a little hoy. and Laurie was too much for his baby strength, so he fled from danger. What followed next happened too swiftly for anyone to take in the gruesome de- tails, but no one cared for details when they saw the man lift the crumpled, broken little hod . l ing so horribly motionless. The wasted, emaciated bones were crushed like so many sticks, and the dirt was covered with sickening blood. There was no longer a challenge in the blue eyes; they only stared blankly at nothing. The look of defiance was gone forever, leaving in its place a helpless, twisted grin, dimples refusing to vanish even in death. Death! Somewhere a hysterical woman screamed and the awful silence was broken. Sick at heart, the man slowly wended his way through the gather- ing crowd, the tin) wrecked form pressed to his aching chest. The next week a new sign stood at the en- trance to the dusty, busy alley. It read: Road under repair. ' Yes. the maxor had at last decided that this sort of thing couldn ' t continue, but it took the miserable death of the nine-year-old son of some wretched mother to make him realize this. Ex- perience is a wonderful, though hard teacher, for with every lesson she brings a hitler dawning. AS I SEE IT William H. Aver. ' 42 EviiHYONE from leading diplomats to drug- store cowboys has had a crack at prophesying the state of the world as it will exist after this war. Therefore. I am going to put down a few predictions as they ajjpear to me. In these da s of attacks and counter-attacks, many of us live from day to day. hardly daring to think of the post-war world. A brief look at what we may expect in the ears to come may help us. how- e er. to fight with a more definite jiurpose in mind. As I see it, the peace following World War II will not be an era of disarmament and reductions in naval strength as it was after the last war. Instead, the world will be dominated by one or two large powers who will keep the sea lanes open to ever one and insure peace to all. There isn ' t a doubt in my mind that the Lnited States will be victorious in this war. I think we shall emerge as the most powerful nation in the world. Our navy will be unsurpassed: our army, the l)est trained and best equipped anywhere: and our ships free to sail the se en seas, trading with all countries on all continents. Oil the other hand. I believe that England will lose a great deal of her power and prestige. India. Australia, and Cans da are becoming more inde|)endenl both in thought and action every (la . hen this war is over, one. and possiblv all three, may break awa from their mother countrv and become separate nations. The class distinction in England, and. in fact, in all of Europe, will probably disappear. This will be one big ad antage that will be derived from the war. On the continent, there will definitely be some changes made. German) will prohahh disap- pear as a nation. The German race will not vanish, of course, but I do believe that it will never again be able to threaten our peace and security. If Russia. England, and the other nations of Europe don ' t see to this, we will. As for the small countries of Europe. I think the) will at least partiall) regain their former status. Thi3 does not, of course, apply to Italy i.nd Austria, which will probably be greatly re- duced in strength, if it is possible to weaken them an more. The Japanese. I believe, will suffer a fate worse than that of any other nation. According to all rules of human behavior and decency, they certainlv deserve neither mercy nor pity from an N one. The) must be taught a lesson that they will iie er forget. How and b) whom this is to be done makes er) little difference, as long as it is done thoroughl) and completely. The Chinese are the logical people to assume the leadership of this part of the world. I hope to see them take on that task after this war is won. That is the post-war world as I see it. Domi- nated b) the greatest go ernment ever created h man. it will. I believe, be able to shake off the effects of this war and mo e on to new heights of freedom and |)eace. « Miss J ines to Ancient History Class: ho was the smallest man in history? au hn Deal: The Roman soldier wlio sh pl on his walcii. •s s  1 ;-.

Miles, ' 43 (BXmP faiih well known by llie cognos- ceiiti that this high school is a popular stamping ground for that species of insect called photos insecta by the erudite, and Camera Bug by the un- learned. Indeed, it is said that this locality possesses all the qualifications necessary for the well-being of this most interesting bug: days containing sunshine, beginning with a sun- rise and ending with a sunset: occasional fog: a few cloudy days; snow; wind; rain, et al. Since the climate hereabouts meets these exact- ing specifications so well, it follows that this s jecies thrives reinarkabl . Authorities state that, unfortunately, it is in no danger of becom- ing extinct. Let us then take our magnif)ing glasses and spend a day in the life of this amazing creature. Today, the conditions are very auspicious; there is a sunrise, and our bug is up before most of the other species of homo, all ready to go. On the front of the insect we see a curious contrap- tion encased in a membrane and joined to the neck and shoulders by a narrow cord which has the appearance of leather. As we soon find, the membrane around the machine drops away ingeniously. The insect points his device to- wards the sunrise, and from time to time we hear mutters of f.S.6., a hundredth, infinity. Super Plenachrome ' and the like. This gibber- ish is accompanied by a metallic clicking sound. Experts have not been able to account for this. Some surmise that the machine which the insect carries is connected in some wa) with this f|ueer sound. It is interesting, although tiresome, to attempt to make words out of the mumble- jumble ritual chanted before this strange noise. We notice that it is now almost eight o ' clock, and as the younger of the species eat at approxi- mately this hour, the creature makes a mad bee- line or insecta-line for his domicile, only stop- ping to make more clicking sounds at some birds. This process is repeated at the morning meal, during which several of the young of the species submit U) the clicking. This noise, and the reason behind it. is as yet unfathomed. and a for- tune awaits the man who unveils its mystery. During the day. this operation is continually repeated. The machine is pointed at anything from a cloud to a math teacher, although the favorite subject seems to be any (jung female of the species homo, who undergo the process almost willingly. At the end of the day comes a series of proces- ses which are rarely witnessed by any except the creatures themselves. Masfjuerading as mem- bers of the species, several outsiders have been ])resent at these ceremonies, only to have been unmasked and almost killed by the strange in- sects. This account has been pieced together mainly from the last gasps of dying men. who gave their lives that science might live. A small number of insects (large congrega- tions seem to be the exception I gathers in a small room. At a signal from the leader, the light is extinguished, leaving the procedure cloaked in darkness. Gradually, as one ' s eyes become accustomed to the Stygian gloom, one sees shadowy forms bending over one of the machines. It is opened and from it is extracted a thin, rolled membrane. Muttering mystical words, the leader leans over a shallow receptacle and solenml) dips into it the membrane, now stretched out. This operation is repeated twice more. Some assert that the third receptacle is filled with a 95 ' { solution of sodium thiosul- fate. called hypo by the creatures , but of this we cannot be sure. Several miimtes afterwards the light once more shines. While regarding the membrane, held in front of the light, the insects give cries of exultation and ecstasy, and in some cases, we are told, groans of sorrow and disgust. After the membrane has dried, a process which sometimes takes as much as three hours, th( ' creatures once more enter the tinv. darkened room. This time, part of the membrane, which astoundingly is said to have lines and spots upon it, is placed in a boxlike contraption along with some whitish paper-like substance. Then the light is snapped on. and while the box is held towards it, a chant ensues, sounding like one chimpanzee, two chimpanzee, three chim- panzee, or one thousand one. one thousand two. etc. Scientists are undecided as to the significance of this rite. Then the |)aper is re- moved and plunged into the aforementioned re- ceptacles. It is then said that a curious image results, being the exact opposite of the lines and spots on the membrane, black becoming white, and white, black! After this ceremon it is the custom of these bugs to carry the negative and print, as they are called in the jargon, on their persons and to exhibit them to their fellow bugs in a boast- ful mamier. 1 ote: We have learned that there was once 20 extant in this school a band of such creatures, under the outlandish name of Camera Club. How great an opportunity for intelligent re- search must these amazing and educational in- sects have offered! ON A LOCOMOTIVE Theodore Holland, 44 In my estimation the most infernal machine ever invented by a human being is the locomo- tive or train. It breathes fire and smoke. From its ravenous-looking mouth exude noises that would deafen an ordinary mortal who had not got used to the sound. Although I have heard many argue in favor of trains. I still am not convinced that they should not be bantied from the eyes and ears of the world forever! As a child my native habitat was in such a secluded part of the L nited States that I never dreamed such a monster existed until I reached the age of learning, namely, thirteen. Now it ' s time for you to see the world, an nounced my father, one crisp day in January. Get your coat ' n ' hat and we ' ll go see the rodeo. I complied without suspecting that I was on the eve of an adventure that I would not soon forget. We tramped for two days, and on the morn- ing of the third we sighted the sclllement of North Scituate. I had made the accpiaintancc of automobiles before so the didn t bother nic much: but I did get a sort of stifif neck while peering at the skyscrapers, some of which were four stories high! Finally I heard what sounded like the howl of a wolf and the roar of a mountain lion combined into one. 1 s(jught my father for protection, but he said thai it was only the train. It suddenh tore into iew ! 1 knew at once that I w as gazing upon a dragon! Fire and smoke it breathed, all the while letting ofT hisses like a snake and roar- ing like a bull. A great crowd of people rushed forward as if to overpower the creature when it came to a panting stop, but they were all en- gulfed in its dark recesses. M father rushed along w ith the rest, and I was dragged after him. To my s urprise I was not mangled and swal- lowed, but I saw a large chair and promptly sal in it. After a while the monster got under wav. with many a creak and groan, and we were soon traveling at a terrific pace! A queer-looking individual in a uniform, not like that of the cav- alry which 1 had seen before, came up to me and said. Where ' s your fare? Now I had always thought a fair was a sort of lawn part given in the sunnner by the local church in mv community; so I said. I don ' t know. I haven ' t seen one since last summer. Before I knew what had happened. I was lying in a heap on the ground, and the creature was disappearing around a bend. Ever since then 1 do my traveling on foot and never venture near a train: and when I hear the far-off hoot of its whistle. I look to see if m rifle is primed and read . CAMOUFLAGE Amalia J. Gillespie. ' 44 W K in the world today are great users f)f camouflage. Though we may not think so, we use camouflage practically every day of our lives. The women of the world camouflage their faces in pink and white masks, long black eve- lashes, and glaring red lips. Thev camouflage their hair by pernianent waves which are defi- nitely not permanent. Now. everyone camouflages his thoughts, fo- we in America today must keep our eyes and ears open and our mouths shut. Many devices have also been made for the camouflaging of our armed forces — tanks of splotched green and brown for use in the woods, or soldiers in costumes blending with their sur- roundings. Even the ships ha e their faces lifted to meet the situation. Nature herself camouflages manv animals. White rabbits are ecpiipped with a camouflage for winter by their very whiteness. The ostrich vainly tries to camouflage himself bv hiding his head in the sand. The leopard is camou- flaged for life in the shadows of the forest bv being spotted. And greatest of all camouflagers is the mother kangaroo who hides her babies in a pouch. Nearly e ery body ' s home is camouflaged. Dirty clothes are in attracti e baskets, garbage is in a pretty can. and in some places carpets camouflage the dirt. Camouflage must be an ancient and honorable device with hypocrites for in the Bible thev speak of gilding the lily. In the famous book The Inside of the Cup. Winston Churchill had reference to camouflage when he wrote of the outside that everybody sees, and the inside into which only a few souls may peer. The outside may be golden and engraved with manv noble deeds. while the inside has never been washed. We may feel quite certain that we have never done any camouflaging in the course of our lives. However, nature disagrees vehementlv. As we see, camouflage is one of nature ' s oldest tricks. ©DDimes 21 LONDON BEFORE THE WAR Frederick Veale, ' 43 IRST isiiali o tli ' ' litllo suhiiibaii town of Barking, with its brick instead of wooden houses. We leave my house and as there is no driveway, walk down a paved path throuf h the front garden into the street. The sidewalk is now the pavement and the shop at the end of the road, a sweet shop instead of a drug store. Our drugstores are chemists ' shops and sell medicine, hot water bottles and cosmetics. How- ever, this little sweet shop sells mineral waters (tonic I, candy, and Wall ' s ice cream. We turn the corner and see a fish shop on our left, and next door a greengrocer ' s. In the fish shop one can buy fried fish and french fried potatoes. They have compartment seats like those in the drugstore, and will serve with the meal tea and rolls and butter. You may take the fish and chips home with you. and it is nothing strange to buy a penny worth of chips. The greengrocer ' s next door is a vegetable shop, where one buys vegetables and fruit. One thing is missing, and that is squash, for we never have that in England. The proprietor is a cock- ney who gives his prices in a typical fashion : The ' taters — oh, tenner er pound, lady. This is sixpence or twelve cents, but then there is no uniformity in our money. The coins one wants to get rid of are threepenny pieces ( 6 cents), for they are twelve-sided and very cum- bersome. Just here we see a white sign with a red band: this is the bus sto|) and here we wait. The bus coming now is ours, for it is going to Marylebon. It is a two-decker bus with the top enclosed and painted silver; it is petrol (gasoline I driven and is coloured bright red. The driver is in a little compartment by himself, and at night pulls down a small blind (shade I behind him to sto|) the interior light reflecting on the wind- shield. There is no door on the alighting platform at the back and no place for one ' s nickels. Instead, the conductor collects the money and gives a stamped ticket in return. The tickets are dif- ferently |)riced. and are stamped by means of a |junch. We are going to Aldgate, and so pay fourpence. or eight cents. We go upstairs to the top deck and sit in the front seats to get a better view. After leaving Barking, we are soon in Poplar, which is the East End, and where a family lives in a single room. Just past here is Linichuuse, wlicre inostl) oriental jieople live. This district is so tough that the policemen walk in pairs and are armed, with a patrol car nearby. The East Side of New York is just as bad, but has more modern buildings. We go on the underground railway at Aid- gate, and here again there are no turnstiles for nickels. This station is very modern with mas- sive stairways and white-tiled sides. Here we catch a train to Charing Cross, and after going down another flight of steps, catch the tube. which is a smaller train. We go on the Picca- dilly line to Piccadily Circus, which is not a vild animal show. As you come out of the tube, ou ask me what all those women are doing around the figure of Cupid in the middle. We go over and they are selling violets in typical charwomen language and are pretty good sales- men. After walking around the rotary circle, we take the first road on the right and come to the well-known movie theatre. Dominion. On our left is Oxford Street, which is jammed with the usual amount of traffic. The large building with the great golden clock is Selfridge ' s which is extremely popular for sales. It is bigger than Stearns in Boston, and probably makes the most money of any store in London. We now feel thirsty, and seeing a milk bar nearby, go in and have a milk shake. These milk bars are the first signs of the American soda fountains. We go into Hyde Park and see the cars driving through, while sheep graze on the grass on one side. In the driveway I remem- ber once watching the coach of the Duke and Duchess of Kent as they went on their honey- moon. The escorting horse guards looked very striking on their well-groomed horses. We enter Park Lane and see Grosvenor House. This hotel has a marvelous fairy-like ballroom, with soft lights, great mirrors and marvelously carpeted stairs. After admiring the old houses in the lane, we decide to go to Trafalgar Square. Here we see a great column with four lions seated at the bottom, and the great Nelson stand- ing at the top. Around this are four great fountains which are continuously kept going. The people who sell bread crumbs do a marvel- ous business, for the pigeons perch on one ' s shoulder or hand to eat the food. They are so tame that they will remain there, and prove a great attraction. 22 mmcs We walk towards Whitehall and Marble Arch: with the great offices of the former on our left, we continue on under the arch, and at the end of the street in the dying sunlight stands tlif Buckingham Palace. This is a great symbol of the past as well as the present years, and shows how important the royal family is to England. We once again make our way to the tube, and after a few stops are in Westminster. Here the first thing that greets us is friendly Big Ben. the great clock of London. We walk past it and come to the great Westminster Abbey with all its wonderful architecture. Inside, the altar amazes us and the choir ' s vestry is beautiful. We haven ' t much time now. for we are going to see the show ' Me and My Girl. The cast is headed by Lapino Lane ( a very famous come- dian in England I who made the picture Lam- beth Walk with Sally Grey. He is a poor man who is suddenl) left untold wealth, and an Earl- dom. He is admiring his rol)e when he tri|js and falls into the orchestra pit. Finally the whole cast do the Lambeth Walk, and the audience go home very happy. We meet my cousin who has come for us in her car. and soon lea e for home, although there is still much to see: — St. Paul ' s Cathedral, the Tower of London, the South Kensington Museum and the Ma or of London ' s Banquet Hall, to name just a few.

Louis Bournazos, a new- comer from Western Junior High School. Somerville, Mass., was elected president; Ginny Hyatt, who moved to Shirley in February, treasurer; and Arnold Skip Fuller and Catherine Peirce were re-elected vice- president and secretary, respectively. The Sophomore Class was well re])resented in athletics this year. Skip Fuller, Frank Hall. Kevin Dwyer, and Jimmy Travers did a fine job fighting for the football team. The Senior Class may be able to boast of Evie Dorr, but we point with pride to our football hero, Louis Bournazos. With fellows like these playing we should expect again to win the South Shore Cham|)ionship. Not to be outdone, the girls also did a grand job in field hockey this year. Anne Jarvis. Laura Brown, Shirley Huntley, and Mary Mahar re- ceived hockey pins at a banquet given the hockev team at Hugo ' s. Jean Cole received her letter.

Lucille and Barbara De Costa were welcomed back, but Lucille left soon after school started. Shortly after school started. Arthur Eaton moved away. The Freshman Class chose as their class offi- cers at the beginning of the year the following: president, George 0 Neil ; vice president, Robert Rencurrel; secretary, Emily Whittaker; and treasurer, Vaughn Deal. Mr. Samuelson was nominated class adviser. A number of girls went out for the various teams. They were Anne Butler. Evelyn Arnold. Carmel Manning. Anne Page, and Emily Whit- taker. Ann Page and Emily hittaker were the only Freshman girls to make the first basketball team. The boys who went out for sports were Rocco Foniri, William Dacey, Gray Curtis, Rob- ert Clapp and Arthur Eaton. Carmel Manning was elected secretary of the Athletic Association. A number of the Freshman girls attended the Sargent College exhibition March 28 at the Anne Butler Boston Arena. The girls enjoyed themselves immensely. A number of the pupils from the Freshman Class took part in the Christmas assembly. The committee from the Freshman Class chosen to represent them at the Freshman-Sopho- more Social, which was held on March 20, were Anne Butler, Vaughn Deal, and Robert Ren- currel. Those who have been on the Honor Roll are Ora Brown, Elizabeth Butler, Vaughn Deal, Richard Jenkins, Carmel Manning, Ann Page, Robert Rencurrel. Elizabeth Stark. Charles Sten- beck, and Emily Whittaker. Those receiving honorable mention are Kathleen Brown, Mary Fresina, Myron Litchfield. Thomas Macy, Ken- neth Stone and Henry Zollin. Two members of our class show great artistic abilit . Ora Brown won two tickets to the rodeo in November and later on in the year she entered a country-wide contest and received honorable mention and a grade of 85 7. Pauline Hardwick won two tickets to the rodeo also and first prize in a Massachusetts coloring contest.

Marjorie Whittaker left for Florida during the year, but has recently returned. 8-B contributed the most money for the ship Massachusetts. In science, Miss Walker gave us a list of sub- jects to write about. The class chose different ones and made slides, colored or plain. When they were finished we went into the laborator) ' and they were shown to us on the screen. In science, we are studying water. Some of the boys demonstrated experiments in the labora- tory. Three boys, while experimenting with sul- phur, almost gassed themselves and have been coughing ever since. In the gym exhibition the girls had a ski race against the seventh grade. They went down the floor, turned around, and came back and helped the next girl put the skiis on. Mrs. Wilder, who has charge of our cafeteria, gave us a helpful talk on how the cafeteria is kept clean and sanitary. In doing indirect measuring in math, we went outside in groups of four and measured articles. Afterwards we drew diagrams and wrote up the measurements. Charles Vickery has won two medals for good horsemanship, one at Cohasset Horse Show and another at the Hanover Show. The Boy Scouts are taking an active part in Civilian Defense. Joseph Fitzpatrick won the Caddy Champion- ship cup at the Scituate Golf Club this summer with a score of 77. His brother Robert came in second with a score of 80. Joseph hopes to try for the State Caddy Golf Championship this summer. Charles Fleming, Donald Hattin, Robert Hol- comb, Stephen Jenney, John Litchfield. Helen McDonald, Madeline Riani, Barbara Tindall, Forbes McLean, Donald McPherson, Sally Whit- combe and Ruth Whittaker have been on the honor roll this year. Jean Hersey, Patricia Rou- leau, Jean Franzen, Betty Ann Welch, and Ray- mond Barrows have received honorable mention. Terry Butler Annette Milliken There has been an enrollment of seventy- seven in the seventh grade this year. The football season for the seventh grade was very successful. There are many good football players in the seventh grade that may be valu- able in the future on the high school team. Basketball was a new experience for many of the seventh graders and everybody thoroughly enjoyed it. Some of the girls in our class were included in the Junior High School basketball team. Only one game was played away. The score was in favor of Duxbury, our opponents. Probably Duxbury will be invited to Scituate for a game next year. After our first game with Duxbury, a league was formed consisting of all the seventh and eighth grade girls who wished to join. During gym periods in January the first ten minutes were devoted to First Aid. The seventh grade with the Senior High Glee Club will have an opportunity to appear in public before the year is over. We have been studying mathematical geog- raphy, which is about the Solar System. We also have studied weather, fishing, hunting do- mestic animals, mining of mineral, etc. In mathematics we have studied circles, areas of geometric figures, fractions, graphs, and per- centage. History, this year, explained the beginning of early Americans in Europe, the exploration, and finally the settling of America and later histori- cal events to the present day. In art the seventh grade has made posters on the progress and defense of our country and on being kind to animals. On December 8, 1941, the President ' s speech was heard on the radio in Miss Giles ' room. A gym exhibition was held before the Parent- Teacher Association in which quite a number of our class took part. The seventh grade has organized a Better Speech Club in English. We have made several booklets that have been based on our English work. The most recent was an illustrated patriotic scrap book. Th ree people in our class received high honors ibis year. They are Terrence Butler, Patricia Cahir, and Donald Kennedy. Robert Devine, 28 Lawioiice Dwyer, Rocco Frisina. James Goddard. Liiji Goddard. Jean Holcomb. Annette Millikeii. Isabelle Murphy.

Marihn Fisher, and June Goddard agree that a nursing career would be excellent. Jean Cole hopes for either a nursing or an undertaking career; and Skip Fuller jjlans to be a doctor. Mar McCormack and Catherine Peirce want to be secretaries. Shirley Huntlev hopes to be cither a newspaper reporter or a foreign corre- spondent. Ethel Hollis wants to be a vocalist.

This old maxim is undouhtedly true. Init the victory road of our high school foothall team still stretches unbroken although a look ahead shows many curves and obstacles and no doubt a dead end. The team ' s record now stands at 12 straight ict()ries and but one loss in the last 31 games. In the last four years only one touchdown has been scored through the first string line. The football team has also averaged 26 points per game to the opponent ' s 4 in this year ' s games. For four years Scituate has been Class D cham- pion of the South Shore. This record is one of the best in the state and has been made possible by the fine football and clean sportsmanship taught to the boys by Coach Stewart. This year the Scituate boys were again hon- ored by a banquet sponsored by the people of Scituate. There were many well-known speakers and a presentation of gifts to the boys. All seniors received sweaters and all others received a letter and a beautiful gold football. This ban- quet was appreciated by all, and the boys are very grateful for the fine hospitality of the citi- zens of Scituate. Many of this year ' s senior class have taken part in these victories and their graduation will be a serious loss to Scituate ' s football team. Everett Dorr will wind u|) a brilliant high school athletic career this June, and he will be one of the few eleven letternien ever to graduate. He has been a standout in all sports and was rated as one of the best triple-threats in the state. He will be a great loss to the teams of Coach Stewart. Two other hard-blocking, tackling and run- ning backs will graduate this )ear. These boys are Richard Barnard and Robert icker . When- ever an extra yard or two was needed, the) were the boys who would make it. Additional concern to Coach Stewart will be (he loss of Stuart Hanckel. William Holland, Walter O ' Neil and John Brown. These bovs with their fine pass catching added many yards for Scituate. and when placing on the defensive they were practicall) impossible to get around. At center was Jerr Cahir and at his side. Louis Rouleau. These boys received little fame for their fine tackling and blocking but without them we would have gained ver little ground. Scituate ' s tackles consisted of George Bresna- han.

This is a position where one must have fight and spirit all the time and these boys had just that. Without the careful managing of James Hill and Wendell Whittaker the team would have been lost, for it was these boys who made the team keep fighting all the time. We must also praise the fine playing and great sportsmanship of the freshmen, sopho- mores, and juniors. Without their fine support we should probably have met defeat. However, these boys will get their recognition in a vear or so. Scituate ' s lettermen were as follows: James Hall, William Holland. Walter O ' Neil.

This year a great many girls responded to the call for candidates for the ' 41 hockey squad. Practice started early, and the first team was chosen after much careful observation. Our most difficult games were with Plymouth and Braintree. Hingham. which has been our most outstanding rival for the past six years, was defeated again by the girls of Scituate High School on our field. By unforeseen circumstances we only tied them on their field. At the end of our schedule Middleboro requested a game with us. We played them and came out with honors with the biggest score Scituate has had in )ears. Alice Moffitt, Marion Hill, Pat Crowley, Gen Wilder, Jean Cole, and Joan Cole carried the ball down the field for goals to victory for the first four games, but met defeat at the end of our season against Braintree, Hanover, and Ply- mouth. High scorers for the season were Pat Crowley and Gen ilder. who tied for first place with the score of seven points. The first line all through the season was ably supported by our super-halfbacks Bea Nichols, Mariesta LaVange. Sidy Brown, and Frances W illiams. Our goal was also well defended bv the efforts of our small but fast Gloria Bonomi and her able partners. Maria Mansfield and Jean Arnold, and last, but certainly not least, our four-year star goalie. Ardemis Basmajian. who with Gloria Bonomi was elected co-captain of the first team. The citizens of the town, headed by the moth- ers of some of our hockey pla ers. celebrated an enjo able if not altogether successful season with a banquet at Hugo s, which was a grand affair greatly enjoyed by all.

Bea Nichols captained the squad and was high scorer for the team with 129 |)oints. She reached her peak in the Norwell games, which were of major importance if Scituate were to win the league crown, scoring 19 and 21 points.

Joan Rouleau, Mariesta LaVange. Pat Crowley and Sid Brown formed a guarding combination that generally proved too tough for the opposing forwards to break through. These girls all received letters for their fine work dur- ing the season, and a victory jiarty was given in their honor on Saturdav. March 21. 1942. The girls, in addition to their letters, received gold engraved basketballs. Gloria Bonomi proved an able and dependable manager, assisted by Maria Mansfield.

EXCHANGES Jerry Cahir, ' 42 This year some schools are not going to pub- lish a year book because of the shortage of printing materials caused by world affairs. Among these schools is our neighboring town, Cohasset. We were sorry to hear that the Piper would not be published because in the past we have found in it many interesting features. Ho w- ever, we hope that Cohasset will be able to re- sume publication in the very near future. The Clipper, the Barnstable High School publication, was received and was found to be condensed but well organized. It has many fine sketches and stories that are most interesting. In past years an exchange of year books has been carried on with Hanover and Norwell High Schools. This year, however, their publications have not as yet been received. The Christmas edition of The Broadcaster, Nashua Junior High School. Nashua. New Hamp- shire, was received. Its short stories were partic- ularly worthy of note. 42 8 Maria Mansfield.
