When did ou say he was leaving. Bubbles? inquired Katie. He is leaving the day after tomorrow on the Alexander Hamilton bound for Australia. ' giggled Bubbles. But don ' t tell a soul. This is supposed to be a secret, she added sternh. It must be wonderful to have a boy-friend as captain of such a vessel. Katie sighed, and I wouldn ' t tell anybody he was going for the w orld. All this time a sinister-looking character with coat buttoned, and hat pulled down, was listen- ing. To himself he muttered, Very interesting, girls, yes, very. A week later a very sad Bubbles was again talking to Katie. Isn ' t it terrible. Katie, and he was only one day out of port! she sobbed. Said Katie. 1 wonder how the enemy discov- ered his position. It was supposed to be a secret. A suspicious-looking rharacter oxerheard the girls ' conversation and chuckling to himsel f mumbled, I wonder. LIBERTY Patricia Caliir.

30 mimes SPORTS CHAMPS BOYS ' ATHLETICS Richard Damon, ' 42 FOOTBALL All good things must come to an end. 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. John Fitts. and Edward Gilchrist, all sen-
