We have taken the preceding years in our stride. We have played Macbeth. fought and refought the Revolutionary and Ci il W ars, studied logs and economics, along with chemistry, until some- times we thought our brains would burst with knowledge. Yes. our trials have been many, and we are proud to acknowledge our success. Without the help of Mr. Wilcox, our class adviser, our path would not have been so easy. Skip Fuller at our head and Dick Bresnahan as his lieutenant, along with Kay Peirce. secre- tary, and Lyman Preston, treasurer, have directed our activities this year and planned for gradu- ation. Graduation — to all of us that means the beginning of a new life. Most of the boys will be called into the armed forces and many of the girls are going into nursing. WTiatever our fu- ture may be, we hope and believe our schooling has prepared us for the tasks ahead. We are entering a world of chaos and disruption, but we face the future with courage. e wish to pay tribute to a group of former members of our class who are already in the service. Richard Turner, Kevin Dwyer. Frank WesterhofI, and Robert Gannett represent us in the Navv, while Ra mond Brown is in another seafaring branch, the Maritime Service. William Bates is in the arm) . Richard Bresnahan, Robert Finnic, and Frank Hall, who will remain in school to graduate with us in June. ha e already been inducted in the Army Air Corps, and many more of the bovs are intending to join one branch of service or another. During our high school years, manv of our boys have become stars in athletics. Our foot- ball heroes, Louis Bournazos, Skip Fuller, Frank Hall, Theodore Holland, Lyman Preston, Robert Withem, and Roger Zollin. have made a great showing on the gridiron. On the basket- ball court repeats were seen when Bournazos, Cogswell, Fuller, Hall, Holland, and Preston did their utmost to put on a good show. As for the girls, they deserve the bouquets. On our cham- pionship field hockey and basketball teams, the turnout was magnificent from this class. Field hockey saw Merial Bonney, Laura Brown. Jean Cole. Katherine Wliittaker and Fay Joseph, man- ager, sweeping up and down the field to victory. The basketball team consisted of the following stars: Laura Brown, manager; Margaret Devine, Mar) Devine, Nancy Davis, Marilyn Fisher, Katherine Whittaker, and Merilyn Damon. Of all senior class pla)s, one of the best in the high school records was presented in April. The play, Girl Shy, starred such actors and actres- ses as M. Bonney, J. Cole, J. Condit, N. Davis, M. Devine, and J. Evans along with L. Bourna- zos, R. Cogswell, R. Finney, A. Fuller, L. Preston, and R. Zollin, many of whom had alreadx ap- peared in the All-School Play. So far this year our only social event has been the senior dance. The committee in charge did a grand job. realizing a complete success. Thus, when the last pages are added to our annals in June, we can say with confidence, Veni, vidi, vici. Arthuu Andhrson General Cimrse. Oreliesira. 2, 3. }; Band, 2, 3; Glee Ciiib, 2, 3. 4.

Class c William LAST September the class of ' 46 came back to school for their second year as students of Scituate High. Early in the fall we held a class meeting and Charles Fleming, Robert Holcomb, Patricia Rou- leau, and John Litchfield were elected president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, respec- tively. Mr. Stewart was chosen as class adviser. After he enlisted in the Navy, Mr. Rogers was elected to succeed him. Our class was well represented this year in athletic achievement. Dick Flaherty. Charles Fleming. Ralph Roberts, Cobby Swift, Charles Vickery. William Vining. and Daniel Yuhr won their letters for footall. The girls were well rep- resented in sports also. For field hockey the fol- lowing girls went out: Peggy Cole, Margaret Damon, Carol Dunphy, Lois Matthews, and Pa- tricia Rouleau. In basketball, Charles- Fleming, Robert Hol- comb. and Cobby Swift made the first team. The following members were out for girls ' bas- if 1946 Vining ketball: Anne Heflferman, Joan Powers, Patricia Rouleau, Barbara Tindall, Dorothy Vaughn, and Ruth Whittaker. Betty Ann Welch was assistant manager. The members of the teams were cheered on to victory by the following cheerleaders from our class: Margaret Damon, Emily Feola, Marie Mc- Carthy, and Dorothy Vaughn. The Sophomore Class has had a large number of pupils on the honor roll at each marking period. Ever since the War Bond drive has been on, the two Sophomore home rooms, 206 and 209, have had a competition to see which could get the largest percentage. At the end of March, Room 206 led. 100 per cent of its members hav- ing bought stainps on two occasions. In the fall the Freshmen cooperated wi th us in staging a very successful dance. Ott the whole, the Sophomore Class has been very prominent in the various activities of the school. 14 FlKST Row: R. Brown, R. Devine, L. Bonney. C. Weeks, T. Bieen, D. Kennedy, T. Biillcr. H.

Class of 1947 Janice Tyler nj ' HE Senior High School was an enlivened and X different place this fall, for there was a new class to chat in its corridors and study in its class rooms. This was the class of 1947. The first task set before the students was to elect a class adviser and class officers. They are as follows: class adviser, Mr. Sandherg; presi- dent, Rocco Frisina; vice-president, Richard Rencurrel; secretary, Gladys Hill; and treas- urer, Nancy Wyman. Most of the girls went out for field hocke) and made the second team. Gladys Hill was the only one who made the varsity. Rocco Frisina, Buttons Ewell. and Joe Ar- cana, received their football letters. When the school play was presented, who should be playing the lead but the class ' s own Annelaine Limper. All who saw the presentation of Ann of Green Gables, know what a wonder- ful impersonation she gave as the young heroine. Among the rest of the cast there were three fresh- men: Vinceiil Dunphy, as the young hero, (Gilbert Blylh; Constance Parsons, as the giggling tattle- tale, Josie Pie; and James Goddard as Mood) Spurgeon. On January 29, the class, sharing honors with the Sophomores, gave a dance which followed a ' ictorious basketball game for Scituate against Cohasset. The music was provided by Mel Eddy, which was all the more reason for the Sport Dance to be the first success of 1944. At the end of the first marking period, Ann- elaine Limper and Terence Butler received high honors with all A ' s and at the end of the third marking period Terrence Butler again received all A s, sharing honors with Donald Kenned . Many other members of the class received honors or honorable mention. During the year, the class lost two members, Patricia Cahir who moved to Brookline, and Constance Parsons, who joined her mother in Florida for the winter. Although we did lose two members, we gained four: Annelaine Limper from New Jersey; Betsey Peggs from Marshfield: Burton Siinmons from Pembroke; and Lillian iiakei from Nova Scotia, Canada. ou ' ll be hearing bigger and better things from our class in the future, so follow ' our career. 15 HONOR ROLL The following names have appeared on the honor roll at least once during the first three marking periods: High Honors All A ' s Terence Butler, Freshman Donald Kennedy, Freshman Annelaine Limper, Freshman Marguerite Bartlett, Senior Fay Joseph, Senior Honors All A ' s ami B ' s Mar{:iiorilP Bartletl Ricliard Bresnalian Barl)ara Billinps Merilyn Damon Merial Bonny Marilyn Fisher Mary Queeny Scott Amiot Kathleen Brown Ora Brown Carmel Manning Jean Douglas Carole Dunphy Ciiarles Fleming Jean Fran en SENIORS June Goddard Frank Hall Theodore Holland Robert Rouleau JUNIORS Thomas Chadbourne Shirley Litchfield SOPHOMORES Donald llatlin Robert Holcomb Ethel Hollis Mary McCormack Barbara Johndrow Catherine Peircc Fay Joseph Lyman Preston Roger Zollin Beverly Newcomb Ann Page Charles Stenbeck Emily Whittaker Stephen Jenney John Litchfield Paul Miles Barbara Tindall Madeline Riani Stuart MacNeill Maybelle Manning Ruth Whittaker Deborah Andrews Rocco Frisina Terence Butler Ligi Goddard Lawrence Dwyer James Goddard Janice O ' Neil FRESHMEN Gladys Hill Jean Holcomb Donald Kennedy Betsy Peggs Honorable Mention All A s and B ' s but one Annelaine Limper Annette Milliken Patricia Manning Virginia Mongeau Isabelle Murphy Jane O ' Neill Nancy Wyma n Beverly Briggs Laura Brown Seniors Nancy Davis Shirley Huntley Miriam Flynn Arnold Fuller Ann Butler Elizabeth Stark Jacqueline Cole Juniors Myron Litchfield Mary Santia Kenneth Stone Henry Zollin Sylvia Shapiro Charles Patterson Ann Ctirran Margaret Damon Ann Graham Jean Hersey Sophomores Helen McDonald Donald McPherson Betty Welch Alice Patterson Joan Powers Patricia Rouleau Jessie Warren Pat Cahir Vincent Dunphy Janice Tyler Freshmen Lawrence Dwyer Constance Holland Christopher Weeks Elizabeth Litchfield 16 (OKMimes I LLl(2ratJire EDITORIALS The Coming Peace Marguerite Bartlett, ' 44 WE, the seniors of 1944, step out into a world torn with war ' s ruthless destruction. As the classroom doors close behind us, we enter into a new life filled with great responsibilities and even greater opportunities. Ours is the responsibility of carrying the torch of liberty to the four corners of the globe. Ours will be the opportunity to preserve he peace by show- ing that all men, as brothers, can live together harmoniously. To be sure, the great task of winning the war comes first. It will undoubtedly be a long, hard struggle; but with grim determination and strength in the knowledge that our cause is just, we cannot fail to reach the ultimate goal of victory. We pledge our very lives to this one aim. To keep this pledge, many of those whom we hold nearest and dearest are leaving their peacetime jobs and taking up arms to defend the country they love. Many, far too many, will lay down their lives upon the altar of human sacrifice in order to insure the permanent keep- ing of this pledge. When our ultimate goal has been reached, and victory is finally ours, we will have our greatest opportunity to prove to the world that we have benefited by the liberal education generously provided for all in a democracy like ours. In order that the end of this struggle may be a true and lasting peace and not merely an armistice to be followed twenty years later by a greater and even more barbarous war, we must let our belief in the freedom and equality jll men be the guiding factor in establishing world order. We must be willing to give all nations equal opportunities in the post-war world. Onlv in this way can we hope to preserve the principles for which we are now fighting. We, alone, can neither win the war nor main- tain the peace. This power rests in the hands of God. If we follow the principles which He laid down, we cannot help being the victor, for the Lord will be on our side. This is the one sure way to keep America great. BECAUSE OF HIS FOREFATHERS Rocco Foniri, S 2 c, U. S. N. T. S. Iowa State College (Formerly of the Class of 1945) Only yesterday millions of carefree American boys were dreaming; learning in their classrooms of the fabled exploits of Columbus. Khan. Clark and others. Today, legions of those youngsters are making history themselves, and getting a first- hand account of world geography as men of years ago did, fighting for peace, security and freedom of worship. But this is a different war they re fighting. They ' re fighting for peace and security not just for themselves, but for all God s people who believe in those principles. li s a strange way to make history — fighting on forgotten beaches of hell with empty stoni achs; fighting with mud up to their knees; fight- ing where it ' s hot, where mosquitos bite to the lies 17 bone, where the eiiein jump from trees, waiting to shoot them in the back; maybe fighting where ships are sunk, where battles are fought to open sea lanes to future naval bases. They ' re using their sweat, blood, tears, and grief, because their hearts tell them to make history as their fore- fathers did, fighting for a better world of peace, for a better America. It ' s going to be a long and tough struggle for these boys of ours; but they will come through just as their forefathers did in years of the past. The freedom they ' re fighting for is a dream of peace, — a dream which all have fought for so many centuries. Who knows, your son. daughter, sister, brother, or even your father may be making history at this very moment, because of his forefathers. A LOOK INTO THE FUTURE Thomas Macy, Jr., ' 46 A ll ' .e war with the Axis is rounding another lap in the history of the world and we hear pre- dictions of its end in a short time, thoughts of the peace are receiving our attention. We pass over the mistakes that terminated the last war, but certainly we are determined that we shall not make the same mistakes again. We frequently hear the words unconditional surrender. These are well-chosen terms. It is up to those who make the peace to see that it is impossible for our enemies to rise again and make attacks on any peace-loving country. As Americans we love freedom and peace. The word war was and is a dreaded one, one that we have perhaps avoided too much. We realize now that no country can be isolated from a conflict such as we are now in. This war is a test for democracies, but the peace is like a final exam. We may flunk the exam and still carry on, but if we look ahead and plan wisely, the record will be one in which we may take pride. We in school, and the boys with whom we parted not so long ago, can remember nothing but peace until the present war started. We are looking forward to the future when there will be peace again. But we shall not soon forget what it cost. We are glad to know that those who saw the last war are determined not to make the mistakes of that war again. Perhaps we who are in school will not have a part in making the coming peace, but we have faith in the adult Americans that will formulate the plans for the future of the world. PEACE Maybellc Manning, ' 46 When the I)ov(! of Peace comes flying o ' er land and sea on high, And the Gods of War shall cease to shout their battle cry, Then free men will lift their faces, And the songs of peace will reign, And men wiU come back to their homes and loved ones once again. Then once more the sun will shine, And the birds will sing and fly, And ihc Dove of Peace forever spread her wings across the slcy. WOODLAND FANCIES Lawrence Dwyer, ' 47 It is dawn. The forest is awakening. Out acioss the meadow the stalks of grass glisten as the rays of ihe glowing red ball in the east strike them. The rabbit sits under an alder bush eating clover. The little fellow with the beauti- ful white stripe is going home because daylight is not his playtime. Above, the air is full of melody and the colors of the birds flash across the blue. All is peaceful in this paradise. Out there where the cool mists rise the deer play. Back and forth they rush with the long grass stroking their sides. All is peaceful; all is serene. My companion raises his gun. We are in- vaders from the outer world. My friend is here for game. His sight centers on a magnificent buck in the middle of the meadow. A roar fills the air — one noise harsh and distinct above all others. The buck rears and falls on his side. There is a moment of the noise of fleeing ani- mals. Then my friend ejects the fired shell. Good shot, I murmur. He nods and we head toward the meadow. The forest is quiet like people at a funeral. Still the sun rises and the flowers bend before the light breeze. But the people of the forest are silent, knowing and fear- ing death at the hand of man. DUSK Carmel Manning, ' 45 In evening when the stars are bright When the fireflies appear with their light, In evening when the moon is low- When the sky is all aglow, We sit there quietly in the night Thinking of a boy with memories bright. Where is he now? Where can he be? We only know lie s across the sea. iLtEN MEMORIAL L BRar SCITUAIE. MASS. 18 CYNDY LOU LEARNS THE HARD WAY Ann Graham, 46 THE air was warm and peaceful and there was a quiet stillness surrounding the Butler ' s large white house. The house was set back a short distance from Sharon Avenue in Riverside where they lived. All of a sudden the peace was broken as Cindy Lou Butler came tearing up the drive, tennis racquet in hand. She dashed noisily up the front steps and the screen door slammed behind her as she went through the house to the sunporch where her mother was resting. Cindy Lou, must you always slam the door? asked her mother. I ' m sorry, Mom, 1 forgot, Cindy said im- patiently, and promptly forgot she had forgotten as she went on to tell her mother about the newcomer to Riverside. Cindy Lou was a tall, blonde girl of fifteen, full of life and sparkling energy. She loved to play tennis, and this sport combined with Bob Chalmers seemed to demand her chief interest and attention. And he ' s so sure-footed. Mother. He ' s won- derful! And he showed me a lot of new tricks. Mother. I ' m positive I could beat that Walt Driscoll now in a set of tennis. Yes, dear, replied Mrs. Butler. Did you remember to feed Sooty this morning? I notice she has been hanging around the door all day. Cindy apologized, I forgot. But immediately she forgot again, and without making amends to her kitten, bounded out, followed by a look of disapproval from her mother. Most of Cindy ' s friends, like herself, belonged to the Riverside Country Club. Among her local crowd she was known to handle a tennis racquet expertly. She could usually beat anyone in a set of tennis, anyone, that is, except Walt Dris- coll. This fact was forever bothering Cindy and she wished heartily that she could think of some- thing that would bring Walt down a peg. Later as Cindy was sitting on the edge of the country club pool, clad in a perky yellow bath- ing suit, she was comparing this blond tormen- ter with Bob Chalmers who had won the after- noon ' s set from her. Suddenly, a wonderful thought struck her, and it made her giggle inside to think of it. The bright idea that had hit Cindy Lou at the pool was slowly forming into a plan as she made her way home with Bonnie O ' Neil. She said, 1 know it will be the most wonderful match we ' ve ever had! Bonnie replied, As long as he ' ll be here a short while and if you can persuade him, I don ' t see how we can miss. He ' s wonderful ! I know I can enter him next week, said Cindy. Cindy didn ' t have to coax Bob to plav. She explained to him about Walt Driscoll and that she wanted to take a little wind out of his sails, so to speak. So Bob agreed to h r plan. Cindy declared the crowd would go wild over him. The day of the Riverside Country Club tennis tournaments dawned clear and bright, and a new and strange name had appeared on the entries, much to the surprise of some of the local crowd. Meanwhile. Mr. and Mrs. Butler had been discussing their daughter s conduct of late and had decided to do something about it. The day of the tournaments was as good a day as any to carry out their plans. Cindy came racing down the stairs, her rac- quet in her hand. She was very much excited and full of pep as she sat down to the breakfast table. Did you make your bed, dear? asked Mrs. Butler. 1 forgot. Did you feed Sooty? No, but she can wait til I get home. Well, as soon as you complete these few jobs, dear, let me know and well start in on the canning. There was a faint smile on her face. But Cindy did not think it was in the leasi bit funny. Mother! she squealed. Mother, the tournament ! Not today ! You can ' t. Oh ! You ' re simply fooling me. Cindy, dear, of course I ' m not fooling. The vegetables can ' t possibly wait an longer. W e ' ve got to put them up toda). 1 guess 1 simph forgot the tournaments. Now, please finish your breakfast and start on the dishes. I ' m going down cellar to look for some jars. M-M-Mother. cried Cindy as the tears came rushing out. Finally she raised a tear-stained face and declared she wouldn ' t be a baby and she would perform the task set before her. although she wished her mother could have chosen a different da) to can.

After supper she was sitting out on the sun- porch, having a little feeling of pride as she 19 tlioufiht of the jars neath packed in rows on the shelf: hiil when slie liioii rhl of llie fun she had missed, her eyes clouded over again.

Why, we must have looked like teacher and student out there. He looked at Cindy and continued. ' Of course it wasn ' t so hard to take, learning my lesson from the three-year champ of State Tech. There was a gurgling noise from Cindy ' s direc- tion. Walt, what do you mean? Three-year champ — Walt, what have I done? Oooh! And then she told him the entire story. When she finished, her lip was trembling. And to think I stood there and argued form with him. How he must have laughed at me. And what I did to you. Oooh! Don ' t worry, Cindy. He left Riverside three hours ago and I ' m the only one who knows about il. Come on now: let ' s forget it. Are ou able lo come out now ? There is a niftv movie uptown tonight. Want to go? You bet, cried Cindy Lou. Oooh! I ' m so sorry. I ' m glad you forgive so easily. There was no slam of the door as Cindy Lou went out this time, only the resounding footsteps of a boy and girl, eves happv and sparkling, and hands linked in understanding.

ROCKETS AND RADIO Paul James, ' PI The world lias recently seen the iMtroduclion of two vast sources of destruction. One of these is rocket-power which has been used pra tically and effectively by all of the major combatant nations of the world. The Germans and Rus- sians have rocket guns and aircraft that fire rocket projectiles. We have used the bazooka verv eflfectivelv in all the theaters of action. We also have jet propulsion. ' which is fast be- coming a part of this war. I he other invention, radio control, is the larger in scope. Here the Nazis have had the jump on us. They have operated radio-controlled bombs from aircraft. They have introduced robot tanks which are called beetles by our forces. These tanks were not so successful at first but they can and probably will constitute the most powerful artillery weapon in the final battles of the war. The Germans badly outsmarted us before the war. when they bought the radio-bomb plans from the American scientist. John Hays Ham- mond, Jr. These two sources of destruction, com- bined, w ould make all weapons of today obsolete. If the Allies are to finish first in the race for the mainstay of the world, they must think faster than the Germans, for the German scientific mind is keen. If the Nazis are allowed to continue their surge of secret weapons without equal com- petition, they may still come out on top in spite of various assurances of final defeat for the Axis and the end of the war in nineteen forty-four. In peacetime, these devices can easily be con- verted to practical use for the people. Rocket- power can be used for transports and trans- Atlantic flying boats. Jet-propulsion can be adapted to set new speed records and in many ways can increase the efficiencv of aircraft. Radio- control is already prominent in many fields. Television will come into practical use in the near future. Man warplants can easilv be converted to the making of electrical apparatus and radio equipment. Plans have already been conceived for Pacific Island bases for aircraft. Radio control would play a large part in the safetv of long trips across the ocean. In the struggle of air domi- nance there will naturallv be many large com- petitive nations, such as Great Britain and Russia. The nation that develops the best radio and pre- cision apparatus will probably take the lead. Interplanetary commerce and communication sound like far-fetched ideas, but manv theories develop practical uses. Leadership in radio- control would bring ever closer the unsolved mysteries of the solar systems. 20 A REAL SEND-OFF Emily Whittaker, ' 45 IN small towns all over the United States there are boys, and girls too, entering the armed forces every day. The story of Tom, as told below, is typical of the experience of many American boys today. The bell had rung for everybod) to be in class. It was the last day of school before the spring vacation. Every boy in the senior class was restless, especially Tom Ryan, who was plan- ning to enlist in the Navy the following week. He hadn ' t told his classmates, but he had talked with his parents and he was going to enlist the Wednesday of vacation. He had thought a lot about the Navy and decided that it was the right branch of service for him. He hated to leave school where he had had so much fun playing football, baseball, and basketball. He would miss the school dances every Friday night, too, and walking home from school with Sally Evans. The class seemed very boring as Tom sat thinking, but it was soon over and he was walk- ing home with Sally. Sally, Tom started, would you miss me if I went away? Of course I would. Tom. Are you and your famil) thinking of moving? Well — not exactly. I am. You mean vou are going to leave Center- ville? Yes, Sail). I ni going to enlist in the Navy next week. Oh — 1 knew ou would, sooner or later, but I thought you would wail until graduation was over. Well — this is how I figure it. The third semester is now over and I have good grades. I will be able to get my diploma. I want to get into the Navy, and if I enlist now. I will have a better chance of getting into radio as there is a demand for boys in this field. I understand, Tom. Will you write to me ever day. Sally? Of course I will, Tom. ' The following Wednesday Tom went to Boston. He met other fellows he knew and didn ' t feel too bad about joining. He passed all his tests ex- tremely well, and was sworn in. He had two weeks before he woidd repoit to Sampson, New York. B Saturday everyone knew that Tom was going in the Navy and he was receiving con- gratulations from many envious boys. One night when the gang were all down to Jack ' s, a meeting place of students, someone said, Why not give Tom a going-away party here, and invite all the kids he knows? ' Tom was very popular and everyone was whole-heartedly for the idea. The girls were elected to take charge of the whole affair. At one of the committee meetings, someone decided they should give Tom some kind of present. Thev asked e eryone for money and finalh . after a great deal of deliberation brought him a kit bag. In it they put shaving cream, razor blades, a razor, tooth brush, tooth paste, and everything they could think of that he would need. The two weeks went very fast and the night of the party rolled around. Jack ' s was packed with intimate friends, school chums, and rela- tives. Everyone was there at 7 o ' clock sharp and when Sally suggested that she and Tom go in for a soda, he was very much surprised at the sight that confronted him. In one corner of the store a juke box was playing and couples began to dance. Sally and Tom were shown io the head table, which was prettily decorated and heaped with food. As Tom sat there looking around, he noticed the soda fountain all lighted up. Two of . e girls in his class had taken over the fountain and there was old Jack sitting bach l-king it easy. Tom smiled to himself and beg ' n io realize how much he was going ti miss ( ' enler ille and a ll his friends, y nien the music -topn ' f ' . there was entertaimnent. The ' Hovenok Twin ' performed.

Tom was overcome when he saw the kit bag with all the articles in it. Some of the students hadn ' t seen the gift. As they came forward to look at it. someone said, The only thing he hasn t got in there is mone for cigarettes. What do you sa , gang, let ' s do something about il. The kit bag was passed around the group and ever) bod) dropped in dimes, quarters, and even 21 hills. Wlion it had fioiic all aioiitul ihr room and hack to lOm. liir hag was overflowing.

A BOAT NEARS PORT Donald Kennedy, 47 Ten miles out in the dull wartime Atlantic! Ten miles from the nearest port and safety from the packs of angry, stalking suhs. The captain wasn ' t very cheerful for he knew a lot could happen just ten miles out. The messboy was whistling a doleful tune, and most of the crew were going about their work like parts of a machine. They were serious fellows who had turned from carefree boys to hardened men in two months of service. This was no game; this was grim reality. Suddenlv. out of the gray clouds ahead, came a lumbering rubber cow. The lookout re- ported, Blimp! Dead ahead! A shout rose from the weary men as they gazed at the faithful guardian of the coast soaring overhead. It had been a week since the fateful foggy day that they had lost the convoy. Now they were secure under the watchful blimp. No ship had ever been sunk while being escorted by a silver queen of the sky. They knew they were safe. The blimp was circling now , scaiming the bleak empty water for a telltale shadow or a periscope cutting like a knife through the billowing waves. Now the forward lookout could see the low gray outline of land. Soon a destroyer appeared. It circled twice, then headed back toward the harbor. The ship followed it slowly through the treacherous mine fields into the inner harbor. All tension aboard ship relaxed as the boat touched the massive dock and the gang plank was lowered. The ship, her crew, and her cargo had all arrived safely. They were in port again after ten grueling days on the high seas. GROAN MORE IN ' 44 Donald Mcl ' lieison. ' 46 As summer draws closer, it turns the mind of the garden lover toward planning his sum- mer ' s project. This year when 1 hear the slogans, Produce for Victor). Food I ' ights f( r Free- dom. and (irow More in 44, 1 am reminded of the experiences I liad last year. I started off on my venture without a care in the world. Thank goodness 1 didn ' t know what would befall me or I jjiobahl) never would have started. The first problem occurred in the very early spring. The frost was barely out of the ground when I could be seen out in my prospective garden, bundled up in furs and boots, yardstick in hand, measuring the land. Well, I thought, this ought to keep me fairly busy. Little did I know how busy I would be. My problem, Mr. Anthony, was to get a plough. There were no ploughs to be had; so I bought a spade instead. My second problem occurred about the first of April. I had shed a few furs and got out my new spade. Everything went fine, and about the first of August I was ready to plant my seeds. Then the problem was what seeds to get. My friends, some of whom aren ' t my friends now, had great ideas for mv garden ai.d recommended unusual vegetables, such as rutabagas, which gives me indigestion; brussels sprouts, which I can ' t stand; and a variety of unhtard-of herbs. I finally planted a few rows of carrots, beans, corn, tomatoes and other ple- bian fruit. Time was growing short, and the plants were growing well. Also, the bugs were growing fat at my expense. I invested fistfuls of money on insecticides which only made the bugs bigger. This constituted my third problem. I was losing weight and my mind besides; I was also losing ground to the bugs. It looked hopeless but I kept up the fight until finally I found a tomato that hadn ' t been touched! No one has ever been prouder over his achievements than I was of that tomato. It is now hanging on my wall — stuffed, one of the greatest achieve- ments of man. It was now getting on into December. The snow killed all the weeds and saved me the trou- ble. I guessed the carrots weren ' t going to come up after all. All m) tomato (singular) were harvested so 1 decided to call it a year and retire. 1 am now planning for next summer ' s victory garden, if I can last that long. CONFIDENTIAL — SECRET MISSION A True Story William Vining, ' 46 0 large ships were lying at anchor, riding the small waves made by the many ships either headed toward or returning from different missions. The crew of both ships worked, with- out a lost movement, in regular navy precision. The Statue of Liberty looked on, and it is be- lieved observers could see a faint glitter in her eyes, in appreciation of the boys ' high morale. The captains returned in a motor whaleboat about nineteen hundred I naw time), with sealed orders. They both reported on board the U. S. S. (censored) which was to act as the flag ship. It was not long before the captain of the I . S. S. I censored I returned on board his ship, the deck hands taking time off to render a military salute. Eager eyes followed him to his cabin. Every- one was anxious to hear the time of getting un- derway. All hands were called to quarters and the address was given by the Executive Officer. All men and officers were to have the ship ready in every respect for getting underway at twenty- three hundred. In the meantime there would be no liberty : all hands not actually on watch would be required to get the ship ready. There would be last minute drills for fire, abandon ship, battle, collision, and the use of the life belt. At twenty-two thirty, word was passed for all heads of departments to report that they were ready for getting underway. At twenty-three hundred, word was passed, All hands, man your piloting detail. There was an added excite- ment that night when the men reported to the bridge that their stations were manned. It was noted, too. that the stations were manned more quickly than during the previous weeks ' maneu- vers. The yeoman shouted with delight when he reported to the Executive Officer the conditions of the chain. The Jack was lowered on the first blast of the whistle, and Old Glory took her proud position on the main mast, following the actions of the flagship. The signal bridge was manned and the signalman ' s attention was at- tracted by the blinking lights of nearby destroyers on either side. The flagship flashed orders that the ships would form a column with the de- stroyers leading out of the harbor into tiie night. The con o routine followed after they passed through the gales and into the blue. The de- stroyers each took a side of the convoy and proceeded to their mission. The course was not known to the enthusiastic sailors, as the zig-zag method was used. They were steaming for days, and none of them knew where they were headed. Many didn ' t care, not even getting a thrill from the fl ing fish, and the deep blue of the Gulf Stream. The roll of their ships seemed to dis- agree with their steak dinner. On the sixth day out, early in the afternoon, general quarters was sounded, and everyone rushed to his particular station. Guns were manned in half the usual time, and everyone scanned the waters for that deadly fish. How- ever, the convoy was so well organized that the Huns decided to devour smaller ships, and to everyone s disappointment, no sub was sighted. This happened several times, and it was amaz- ing to see the high morale of the ship during such circumstances. On the fifteenth da out. it was reported that land was sighted, and this time the officers and enlisted men were sure of it. On two previous occasions reports had been made from the crow ' s nest that land was in sight, but another mile ' s difference would show an iceberg. The men had to stay at their stations at all times now. as the were approaching the harbor and many ships had recently been torpedoed. One destroyer went ahead, the other bringing up the rear of the convo). A small power launch came out to the harbor entrance, and the gates opened. The convoy steamed in. and the men were relieved after standing watch, without sleep, for twenty- four hours. As they approached the docks, hun- dreds of women were seen gathered just behind the high fences which prevented them from com- ing onto the docks. The next day when the bo s delivered their cargo to the storehouses, they observed the look of relief upon the faces of the natives. A voung piiest of American origin called all hands that could be relieved into a huge building and told them what their mission had been. These women had had er little food since they had sent their lo ed ones off to war for their mother countr . The were struggling along on the faith thai this priest had instilled in them. The ships had brought in enough stores to keep these people for six months. The ships returned to America untouched (ex- cept for a hurricane which look the ship the U. S. S. (censored) into a 45° angle for four days). 23 The hoys were all anxious to get their red. while and blue Atlantic Theater Campaign bars, and when asked what they did to earn them, would remark with emphasis. We saved a country you never heard of. We serve in the best organiza- tion in the world. THE SEA Scott Amiol, ' 45 I stood upon the cliffs one day And gazed enraptured on the sea. The waves beat on the rocks below; A gull glided by and complained to me. As I stood on the towering precipice, I thought of all the ocean had seen, Of the ships that sailed its broad expanse. Of the places where the vessel s had been. As I stood upon the jutting crag, I dreamed of the things the sea had done, I thought of the men the sea had killed; I thought of the wars the sea had won. As I stood upon the rocky ledge, I thought of the lands washed by the seas; Of the rock-bound shores and the icy north. Of the islands covered with cocoanut trees. And so I said to myself that day, Surely there are no better things Than to live by the everlasting sea, And hear the eternal song it sings. WHEN BIG SISTER STEPS OUT Terry Butler, ' 47 Do I hear the telephone? Or can that be the doorbell? Maybe it is both of them; Maybe it ' s my death knell. I find it ' s Davy calling, And it ' s Harry at the door. Which shall I repl) to first? Oh! hum! what a bore! Reluctantly I let one in And holler to the other. They want to speak with someone. No, it ' s not with Mother! I want to get a little dough, And that without a blister. So I flip a double-headed coin To see who dates with Sister. RAIN, FOG . . . Jane Evans, ' 44 Bruce rai. ed the single window in his room. Behind him everything was in darkness. Out in front he heard the dismal dirge of rain dripping from the hotel gutters onto the familiar city pavements five stories below. Across the wet dirty street a small red Coca-Cola sign winked an accustomed invitation to a drug store sand- wiched between two ding) wholesale-houses. The dampness of the night stole into the room, fil- tered through Bruce ' s Flying Tiger jacket and wrapped itself coldly about his spirit. He clenched his fist, pressing his cold clammy finger- tips against his palms. With his other hand he slammed down the window. It rattled in its frame. His eyes flared and he swore mutteringly. Then the dampness that had settled about him deadened every tiny spark of resentment. Bruce ' s eyes lowered as he slowly picked up a wilted yet mocking orchid and flung it into the waste basket. Suit case in hand, he left the room, walked heavily down the corridor. Ahead, bright warm lights gleamed through a transom. The door under it swung open and the merry light inside overflowed into the dim corridor. Bright cheerful party conversation flowed out with the light. A man stepped out, a cluttered ash tray in his hand, a broad grin spread across his face as the result of a pleasantry from within the room. He directed his smile on Bruce. The smile stirred a spirit of warmth in the boy, and forced a greeting from his tigh tened throat. He continued down the corridor. Behind him he heard the clank of tin against tin as the man tapped the ash tray on the side of the waste basket just outside his door. The dampness clutched at Bruce again. At the desk Bruce deposited his key and two dollars on the warm rubber change mat. A sleepy night clerk looked up at him and carefully laid down his magazine. The clerk ' s thin, dirty finger traced a line in the ledger under Bruce ' s signature; his eyes checked the amount of the payment; and his head nodded a receipt to the waiting flyer. Bruce plodded slowly across the small lobby with its somber leather chairs, and pushed open the front door. Turning up the collar of his leather jacket, he stepped out into the drizzle of rain. Heavy grey steam was seeping from a manhole cover in the gutter in front of the hotel as the boy turned to walk down the street. Inside, the sleepy clerk watched the flyer pass from view; then before taking up his story from where he left off, he paused, raised his eyes re- flectively to the silence — An ace that has shot down fifteen Jap zeros — and to be jilted! 24 Junior High School News EIGHTH GRADE NOTES }on Flynn, 8A Gabriel Jacobucci, 8B On September 8 an ambitious 8th grade, num- bering 80 pupils, entered Scituate High School. We were glad to welcome David Coombs from Quincy, John Leslie from Norwell, and Lawrence Henderson from Rockland. The WAR BOND and STAMP sales in 8A have set a school record.

So never a chance had poor Eddy. Laura Cerilli, 8A SEVENTH GRADE NOTES Mary Lou Corrigan, 7 A Patricia Goddard, 7B On Wednesday, September 8, a group of stu- dents from the two sixth grades entered the first year of junior high school. It was a little hard at first and made everyone feel empty inside, but we soon got used to it here and found it a lot of fun. During the year so far, pupils who have had high honors are Barbara Best, Mary Lou Cor- rigan and John Stewart. Those who have made the honor roll are Ralph Brown, Francis Dyer, Mary Lou Corrigan, Frank Anderson, Marjorie Gannett, Donald Hey wood. Dolores Parker, Alan Piser, James Robinson. David Conway. Barbara Best. Anne Marie Ara- poff, Nancy Gilley, Patricia R. Goddard, Dorothy McPherson, John Stewart. Jean Tobin, Edwin Veiga and Russell Hattin. Those who were on the honorable mention list are Nancy Dwight, Anne Dwyer, Anne Marie ArapofF. Russell Hat- tin, Jean Tobin, Virginia Day, David Conway. Ralph Brown, James Robinson, Alan Piser, Dolores Parker and Leo Gowin. We have had seven new pupils during the ear: John Cook and Jack Fenton. who left before the term was over; Alan Piser. Nancv Gilley, Howard Mann; and the twins, Dottv Lou and Judith Ann Merrifield who came from Vir- ginia. Leo Gowin, Frank Anderson and Tony Dias are the only pupils who have left. The total enrollment for the seventh grade was 66. The English classes organized an English club called The Story Hour Club. Two classes have been competing with each other to see who could get the highest per cent ill the sale of defense stamps and bonds — 7B and 8A. 7B has had one hundred per cent for ever} week except one which made oA one more 100% than 7B. The per cent for 17 weeks for these two classes are: 7B — 85 ' r . and 8A — 679 . Miss Maxim has planned to ha e some sound movies for the geography classes. Gale Lcmoine. a |)upil in the seventh grade, went to (.anada just recentl) to see his father who is in the ainn. He also went to tiie launch- ing of a sliip with his mother, Mrs. Lemoine, who sponsored it, 25 A TREASURE HUNT IN 1960 Roger McLean, 8B One time we were asked lo clean our attic as a fire prevention measure. Of course we didn ' t expect to have a fire because we liad automatic fire extinguishers planted all over the house. To get back to the stor . I was going through an old trunk that had been handed down through my family. I came to some letters with a string around them. Among them was a piece of folded parchment on which was a picture of the Solo- mon Islands. 1 had heard of the islands relative to the war which we had won from the Japanese. l ear the middle of the group of islands was a big, black X. I took it upon myself to believe that it indicated buried treasure. I immediately shot up into the air in my heli- copter. In ten hours I had reached my desti- nation as cool and calm as a cucumber. During the big war I remembered reading how the Marines, as the rocket-men were called in those days, had to hack their way through dense tropi- cal jungles and swamps. When I arrived. I saw, instead of jungles, nice, flat pieces of land that looked as though they had been used as air- ports. Then I recalled that there were some brave men in the World Massacre called Seabees. The had used little land-ships called jeeps and bull-dozers to level the land. After a lot of figur- ing on my little instrument called the spot-finder. I found just the place to dig. Incidentally, this little gadget worked by finding the latitude and longitude and then it showed when you were over the exact spot. When I had arrived there, I pulled out my automatic digger, an implement which looked like an automatic drill only it was run by air currents. In short order I reached an iron chest, which I got out quickly enough. Upon opening it. I found it full of jewels, money, and three containers of radium. There was enough there to make me the most talked-about man in the ivorld. Oh, you want to know why I ' m not that today? Well, I ' ll tell you. Everybody agrees that there are and always will be some cruel and wicked people in this world. It was just my luck to strike one of those persons and his gang on the way home. I had been in the atmosphere only two hours when they drifted along. A fierce battle raged. It ended with their having the treasure and I the helicopter. Out of a secret compartment I quickly pulled my faithful exter- minator and shot them. They immediately dis- appeared. Then I realized that the chest went with them. Now you know my whole story. All I ha e left is the memory. LIMERICKS There once was a iTiati bought a tru(;k When speeding along, he got stuck He tried to get out But he was loo stout So he stuck right there in the truck.

Jolin Fresina, 8 A 26 FIRST LOVE Mary Noble, 8B JOHNNY JONES was just an ordinary boy who loved the sea. He lived in a sleepy little New England coastal town which had a small harbor into which fishing and lobster boats came each day. Every day Johnny used to go down to the pier and watch these boats come in. He took every opportunity to go on these boats and learn all he could about them. He thought that maybe some day he would own one of his own. When he was still quite young, his father gave him a skiff and then when he was older, a dory. Still Johnny dreamed of having a big boat of his own some day. One day when he was thirteen years old, he told his father he wanted to save his money so that when he was older he could get a boat. His father said that when he Avas eighteen years old he could have one. The years went by and he saved his money, always dreaming of and hoping for the boat. It was the year 1941 and Johnny was just seventeen, but would be eighteen the beginning of the next year. He was all set to get the long- hoped-for boat when December 7. 1941 and war with Japan burst upon the United States. Johnny put all the money he had been saving into war bonds, and as soon as he was eighteen he joined the navy. He got along extremely well in the navy because of his knowledge of ships and ships ' engines. When he had finished his training, he was put on a destroyer and sent to the South Pacific to fight the Japs. He saw a lot of action and was wounded. As the battle was raging. Johnny learned that the captain and another man were trapped below decks in a burning room. He dashed into the smoke-filled room and rescued the captain. Then he went back down again after the other man. By this time the smoke was very thick and it was extremely hard for him to breathe. When he reached the deck, he collapsed. As two men were carrying him to a doctor, another shell struck and he was hit in the back by shrapnel. The navy doctors fixed him up and sent him home. He was given a medal for the rescue. The doctors told him he would never be able to go to sea again because the smoke from the fire had injured his lungs and the shrapnel wound had left its mark on his physical condition. Sad and bitter, Johnny returned home. As soon as he reached home, he went down to the pier where he saw Coast Guard ships as they went in and out. That made him feel all the worse because he wanted to go back to sea with the navy and he knew he couldn ' t. When the war was over, he took his money out of war bonds and went on a long vacation to California where he went to the beach every day and spent long hours lying in the sun. He ran up and down as much as he could and soon he was well enough to go in the water for a swim. For two )ears he took body-building and health courses. At the end of the training period he went to a navy recruiting office to join the navy. He had done what the doctors said couldn ' t be done. He had built himself up so that he passed the navy physical. He went back to his first and only love, the sea, on a brand new destroyer, a far cry from the boat for which he had always longed.

William Callahan, 8A 27 SCHOOL NOTES Carole Dunphy, ' 46 ACTIVITIES have been many this year be- cause the long-suffering A cards were no longer subject to the l)an on pleasure driving. Danci s and games vvcrc more frequent and were enjoyed by all who atlended ihem. In all our fun. tiiough, we didn ' t forget that we were fight- ing a war. Our stamp and bond sales reached new heights. The sale of T. B. seals was almost a hundred per cent. At Christmas time each class filled two boxes containing small gifts for the Junior Red Cross. The girls really starred this year in sports. They were champions in hockey as well as bas- ketball. The boys had many tough breaks, but everything considered, did well. The football games provided exciting entertainment on Satur- days in the fall. They were very good and showed many promising stars for future teams. Many service men attended to cheer for their old Alma Mater. At the end of the football season the cheerleaders gave the football players a banquet and invited the first team hockey girls as guests. The cheerleaders were especially good this )ear, and added to the excitement of the games. Crowds of enthusiastic spectators atlended all the night basketball games to yell themselves blue for the home team. An added attraction was the selling of snappy programs, which were donated by the Coca-Cola company. Jokes, com- ments and news appeared in the programs as well as excellent sketches and cartoons of the teams and coaches, which were drawn by Pau- line Hardwick, Paul James and George O ' Neil of the art classes. The dances were all a great success. Each attracted a large crowd, even though transpor- lation was uncertain. The Sport Dance given by the Freshman and Sophomore classes after the basketball game with Cohasset was especially successful. It had many surprise dances and an auction of cakes. The Junior Social given at Christmas time was something to shout about. The future Senior Class deserves a great deal of credit. Thev pro- ided everything from a Santa Claus and sleigh lo a reproduction of Blind Date ; even a for- tune teller and a Christmas tree. The gym was gayly decorated on this occasion. The Senior Social was a grand affair. This dance also had many surjjrise features. All in all we had a swell lime. Mel Edd . his trum- pel and his orchestra las it was advertised) lent musical charm to all the dances. The Fr(;shmen sponsored a very original dance in March. It was a Leap Year affair, in which the girls footed all the bills. Some vegetable corsages were seen, although many girls bought carnations for their dates. At the door the girls were (|ueslioned about their weight. Each girl had to pay a cent a pound for every pound over a hundred. This party drew a large and gay crowd. A very good Christmas program was given this year under the supervision of Mr. William Smith of our music department. It included songs by both Junior and Senior Glee Clubs. Mr. Smith played a few light and several serious selections for us. At the conclusion the whole student body and faculty joined in singing popular Christmas carols. It was a most enjoy- able program. Another good assembly was given by the Boy Scouts. We had two good speakers, movies, and the presentation of the life saving medal to Thomas Macy of the Junior class for saving a companion from drowning. Both boys are mem- bers of the local Boy Scout organization. An Army sergeant gave a very good talk at one of our assemblies. He was very interesting. Although he talked chiefly for the boys, the girls got a lot out of it too. A Navy man talked to the boys alone at a later date. At an assembly in February the football squad and the victorious hockey team were given their letters. The cheerleaders also received letters. Recognition was given to the large group of underclassmen who went out for sports even though they didn ' t make the teams. We shall regret the loss of senior players next year, but there appear to be many eligible youngsters to fill their places. Coach Vines and Coach Stewart received gifts of appreciation for their grand coaching. Dick Bresnahan, the roving reporter, also received a small gift. Movies were shown to complete the assembly. Since the arrival of our new sound projector, we have had movies about every Thursday morn- ing. It was certainly worth waiting for. The movies on the whole have been very good. We have enjoyed the sports, historic and especially the musical films. Throughout the year the senior boys and girls lia e been taking immerous tests. They have laken achievement and aptitude tests, as well as tests for the Army and Navy, and they are crammed with questions and belated answers. 28 The greatest blow this year was the loss of our coach, Mr. Edward Stewart. We hated to see him go but we wish him happiness and suc- cess in his new profession. We are fortunate in having as the new coach Mr. Felix Dixon, who will fill Coach Stewart ' s place. Mr. Dixon will also take over Mr. Stewart ' s general science, biology, and home room classes. He comes from Stoughton and is a graduate of Boston University. The service honor roll, the gift of the Class of ' 43, was fittingly dedicated in April. It is a beautiful memorial to our students and teachers in the Armed Forces. SERVICE HONOR ROLL One of the most notable and appropriate gifts ever presented to the Scituate High School by a graduating class was that of the Class of 1943, who left money for the purpose of providing a memorial in honor of the students and members of the faculty of the school who are or have been serving with the armed forces of our coun- try. The plaque was constructed in the manual training shop under the supervision of Mr. Nels Sandberg. The lettering and design was the work of the art department under the direction of Miss Doris Rowell. Pauline Hardwick of the Junior Class printed ail of the names on the roll. The plaque itself is about three feet wide and four feet long, made of pine and having a dark, glossy finish. It contains six rows of names printed with India ink on removable white slides. At the time of the dedication the names of four members of the faculty and over three hun- dred former members of the school were in- scribed. Six gold stars are among them. A mov- ing and impressive program was presented at the unveiling of the memorial to pay tribute to those from our school who are in the service of our country.

Smith WAR BONDS AND STAMPS SALES This year the bo)s and girls of the Scituate High School have shown their patriotism by buying war stamps and bonds each week in tchool. Mr. Rogers and Miss Maxim have been in charge of this very important project. The total sale of stamps up to the first of April amounted to $7,518.10. There have been a few large bond purchases, but most of the rooms have relied on small individual stamp purchases for their weekly averages. The largest home room record was made on February 16. 1944 during the Fourth War Loan Drive when the Senior Class, of Room 104, bought stamps and bonds amounting to $2,647.80. The Junior High rooms have had the highest percentage of pupils buying, having averaged 29 90 ' ; or over every week. Rooms 201. 202. and 102 deserve special mention for the fact that lOO ' f of the students from these rooms have hought stamps for several weeks. We hope that the Senior High can increase their percentage of pupils buying so lliat the Minute Man Flag will he flying from the flag |)olc of the Scituate High School. JUNIOR RED CROSS The Junior Red Cross has been giving helpful service to the many countries that are at war, and Scituate High School has shared in this work, under the supervision of Miss Mary Kings- bury of the Household Arts Department. During the Junior Red Cross membership drive, 100 ' { of many of the home rooms con- tributed, and $30 was collected. This money is kept in the Junior Red Cross account and is used to buy materials for sewing and for contri- butions to hospitals. Again in April the school contributed in the regular Red Cross drive. Nutrition and home nursing courses are given by Miss Kingsbury and Miss O ' Donnell. Certif- icates are given for these courses. The sewing classes are making and have made la ettes and such articles as bed jackets and card table covers for patients in the hospitals. They have also made little girls ' dresses and skirts, which were sent to refugee children. The Junior High have made scrap books for children in hospitals. At Christmas time each homt room filled two boxes for the children of the war-torn countries. Collections were taken, and committees from the classes selected small articles which were suitable to send, such as pencils, combs, soap, and gum. Twenty-four Christmas boxes were sent to Eng- land from our school. Recently Mr. Parkhurst received the following letter in acknowledgment of these boxes. 10 Baytree Road Milton Weston-Super-Mare Som: England Dear Sir: I am writing to you asking }ou if you would be kind enough to convey to your school the thanks of the Junior Red Cross boys for the parcels we were very pleased to receive. The articles contained in these parcels were very welcome to all of us. especiallv the soap and chewing gum, which as you know, are ra- tioned over here. Again, many thanks. At the present moment there are several con- tingents of ' Yanks, as we call them, in town. and ihey are vcr) popular al l ' round (more so uilii the smaller children). Many of us boys and girls watch them pla) baseball on the sand (this is a seaside town), and most of us arc learning the various terms when disagreeing with the referee. Having never written to a principal of a school before, my first effort may i)e rather weak, but I ' m sure you will excuse that. I would be very glad to have some corre- spondents in your school of my own age (15 )ears, 6 months), boy or girl, to exchange dif- ferent ideas of both countries and other things. Many thanks once more. Yours sincerely, Ronald Dewell B.R.C.S. NEW SOUND PROJECTOR Last )ear the students of the Senior and Junior High School participated in a drive to sell sub- scriptions to the publications of the Crowell-Col- lier Publishing Company with the purpose of obtaining a new motion picture sound projector for the school. The drive was successful; and the proceeds, supplemented by some help from the School Department, made possible the pur- chase of the machine. We had expected to have the projector soon after the drive, but because of war-time restric- tions and priorities, we could not get it until January of this year. It was well worth waiting for. however. It is a Victor machine, complete with sound equipment and all the latest acces- sories. From the time of its arrival until April we had a total of seventeen pictures. Several of these were used in individual classes as visual aids to education, such as Aerodynamics Air Flow and Aerodynamics Air Foil, which were used by the aeronautics class; Trees for To- morrow and Mexico, which were shown to the Junior High geography classes; and Cham- pions Write. which was used b the typing and shorthand classes. Among the many interesting and worth-while films which have been shown in assembly were Sports Almanac, Football Scenes 1942, 1943 World Series, Air Supremacy. Wings Up, MacArthur — Manila, Our Declaration of Independence. and Our Bill of Rights. This projector will be useful for a long time, and in many ways. It is a very valuable addition lo the equipment of our school. 30 OUR ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT Many do not realize how important the adver- tising department of our magazine is, and how much work is done by the members of this department under the direction of Miss Ruth Hawkes. Some of the business managers go in person to all sections of Scituate to sell advertising space to the business men of the town, and they also visit Cohasset. Rockland. Plymouth, and Quincy. They write sales letters to colleges, business schools, and companies which the) cannot con- tact otherwise. Next, some one of the business department must type the advertisements and arrange them in the amount of space purchased on the pages of the magazine. Finally, the business managers send out state- ments, make collections, and do the bookkeeping which is involved. With the splendid cooperation of the business men of Sciluate and the surrounding towns, we have always been able to finance our magazine without having to raise money by any other means. Much credit is due for the very efficient work of this department. HOUSEHOLD ARTS In our school we have a very complete and advanced two-year course in household arts. It consists of cooking and sewing mainly, with a minor course in home nursing, which is taught by Miss O ' Donnell. Our sewing class is very interesting. At the first of the year we all made blouses with red and blue smocking . When they were finished, we were allowed to make anything we wished. At the end of the year we have a fashion show, in which every girl in the class takes part. This fashion show is given before the pupils and the faculty of the school. During half the year we have cooking. After we have learned to make different kinds of foods, we plan menus and give luncheons. Each girl takes part in some way in preparing or serving the meal. Two of the girls act as hostesses and invite two members of the faculty to attend. We have had several luncheons this year, and all have been successful. The girls who have taken this course have not regretted it. and they are very grateful that our school provides such a course. QUIZ PROGRAM On March 22, 1944 a quiz program was presented by the school at the monthly meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association. The quiz kids were as follows: Marguerite Bartlett, from the senior class; Scott Amiot, from ihe junior class; Donald Hattin and Robert Holcomb, from the sophomore class; Terry But- ler, Ligi Goddard and Chris Weeks, from the freshman class; and Barbara Best, from the Junior High. Thomas Macy. Jr. of the junior class acted as master of ceremonies. The pro- gram was planned by Miss Harrington and Miss Dudley. The questions used were submitted by mem- bers of the English classes, war stamps being offered to those whose questions stumped the members of the panel. The students participating showed that they had good presence and very comprehensive knowledge, missing only five of the fifty or sixty questions that were asked. THE CLIFFS Jean Hersey, ' 46 The lonely cry of a sea gull Over the jagged cliffs Gives me a feeling of freedom, That many a heart has missed. I wander there most every day; Just to stand on the highest peak. To feel the breeze, so fresh and sharp, And to stare at the rock so bleak. The roaring sea for miles around Sounds like a battle undone. And the crash of the waves on the rock below Is like the fire of a gun. But the battles are far from New England ' s cliffs The roar and the crash not of guns. I stand there with a sense of safety, While the waves pound under the sun. THE WEATHER MAN ' S NIGHTMARE Mary Lou Corrigan, 7 A ' Twas a frost) morning that warm afternoon. And the ra)s beat down from a torrid moon; The cold winds blew on a balmy day. And the snow piled up like mounds of hay. A storm was raging in the skies so blue And the weather man thought, Can this really be true? 32 BOYS ' ATHLETICS Football Louis Bournazos, ' 44 Winning four out of seven games, losing two and tying one on a fluke, the Scituate football squad, under the capable coaching of Eddie Stew- art, turned in one of its best gridiron seasons in several years. The opening game was a twelve to nine loss to a stronger and heavier Hingham team. This being the first game and against a Class C team, everyone expected it to be a shellacking, that is everyone except the eleven boys who started the game. The team ' s spirit all through that game was the best possible. Scituate outplayed Hing- liam in all respects but scoring. The next contest was a nineteen to zero victory over a game Randolph eleven. This game was played on a terrifically hot day, and both teams suffered from the weather. Cohasset was next to suffer defeat at the hands of the boys in blue and white. Scituate beat their traditional rivals by the score of twent -six to six. We beat Kingston by the almost identical score of twenty-six to seven. The journey to Marshfield almost ended in a tied score. A blocked kick and a lucky (?l pass set up the only score of the game. Scituate edged Marsh- field seven to zero. The next game was the fluke. Scituate pla ed Hanover on a cold and rainy Armistice Da . The weather affected Scituate ' s passing attack and slowed up both teams ' rumiing game. We played inside of Hanover ' s ten-)ard line all da but just couldn ' t push over a score. Hanover in comparison, didn ' t once penetrate Scituate ' s thirty-five yard line. Hanover and Scituate tied for the South Shore Championship. In a post-season game Scituate lost to a strong Rockland team, thirteen to seven. Looking back at all the past records, we find that Scituate has won and tied more than its share of championships. This means we have teams worth bragging about. Ever one should back up the Scituate A. A. and make the pur- chase of new and better equipment possible. Boys ' Basketball Robert Finnie. ' 44 Looking through the score book for the )ear at Scituate High School, we find that the final scores of our basketball games are not much to brag about. There was always a good turn- out at practice and the boys functioned well together, but they usually fell short a basket or two at the games. Next year ' s team will have to carry on with- out six seniors: Skip Fuller, our long shot man; Louis Bournazos, our perfect-form artist: L)man Preston, ever-rea dy guard: Walter Allen, a hard fighter: Alby Cogswell, the hand) man; and last, but not least. Tedd Holland, the best football playei in basketall. Other letter men wliu will carr on the good work next year are Bob Holcomb, Charlie Pat- terson, Cobby Swift, and Pete Fleming. 33 We uelioiiicd Iwo new Icaiiis lo our llooi ' lliis season when we |)la ( ' (l ( ohasset and Rocklaiici.

Last year ' s club had a fair season. Although Scilu- ate s baseball teams, as a rule, are not sensa- tional, they have a bad habit of getting into rival coaches hair and causing a lot of irritation. The only returning Iwirler is Patterson and he ' ll probably carry the brunt of the load. Prospects for the 44 season look good as a large number of candidates showed up for practice. Patterson and Foniri were the only players lost through graduation or the draft. There will be many vacancies, and no one can be sure of any position. We all wish luck to Coach Dixon who has just arrived at Scituate. We hope his first season will be a successful one, and his first team a winnins team. FOOTBALL SQUAD Back Row : Rol)ert t ithem.

The game was a tie with a score of 0-0, and we share the championship cup Avith Marshfield. Fay Joseph, manager of the team, should re- ceive much credit for her excellent management and co-operative spirit.

Basketball Another banner will be added this year to the collection in the auditorium, showing that for another season the girls of Scituate High were superior to their opponents in the sport of basketball. This year Emilv hittaker not only broke her last year ' s record for high scoring, but also set a new high for the South Shore League by scoring a total of 270 points. Anne Butler and Ainie Page, with their outstanding passing and shooting, also contributed to the winning of the championship. Of course, without the support of the guards, Carmel Maiming. Margaret Desine. and Mary Devine. the forwards could not have accom- plished this wonderful record. Their perfect teamwork and passing showed them to be excel- lent guards. In addition to the league games, the team pla ed Hingham and Plymouth. By winning over them with scores of 21 to 11 and 38 to 24 respectively. the showed what the could do against teams of larger schools. Laura Brown and her assistant. Bettv Ann elch. proved to be very pleasant and capable managers. The Senior lettermen are Margaret Devine. Mary Devine. June Goddard. Nancv Davis. Mari- lyn Fisher. Sis W hittaker.

DRAMATICS Barbara Tindall, ' 46 Many attics were thoroughly ransacked in the few weeks preceding the stupendous production of Anne of Green Gables which was given in the auditorium of Scituate High School on the night of December 10, 1943. With the help of Miss Gile ' s coaching, the production was very successful. Annelaine Limper I in her high-topped shoes) interpreted her part as Anne, very well. Merial Bonney, as Florence Remsen. and Margaret De- vine, as Minnie Stearn, did equally well. Joan Condit puffed on and off the stage very effec- tively, in her part as Mrs. Spencer. Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert were played by Sargent Bartlett and Betty Welch, respectivel) . Betty was always in character in her many lines; and Sargent received many laughs as he repeated, I can ' t say as I do, and I can ' t say as I don ' t, throughout the play. Ellen Callahan was the perfect gimlet e)e ' ' in the part of Rachel L)nde. Nancy Davis recalled nearly evei yone ' s liild- hood as she skipped merrily on and off the stage as Diana Barry, with giggling Constance Parsons as Josie Pye. Marilyn Fisher, as the minister ' s wife, Mrs. Allen, fainted very realis- t ' cally. James Goddard and Vincent Dunphy were good as Mood) Spurgeon and Gilbert Blythe. The great romantic scene came when Thomas Macy, as Ira Mills, proposed to and led Marilla off the stage. Barbara Tindall was in it too. The following, as well as the cast, deserve great credit for a very successful production. Coach — Miss Eleanor Gile. Stage— Mr. Nels Sandberg, Walter Allen, Rob- ert Finnic, and James Gillis.

BASKETBALL (Continued from Page 36) Scituate 23 Pembroke 19 Scituate 35 Hanover 15 Sciluale 47 Norwell 9 Scituate 55 Cohas set 26 Scituate 55 Duxbury 19 Prospects for a successful team in 1945 and 1946 are very good. The second team have shown their skill in the games at Duxbury and Ply- mouth. The scores were 22-15 against Duxbury, with Virginia Mongeau making 16 of the points, and 20-13 against Plymouth. The alumni game was fun and showed that our teams develop in skill as the years go by. The score was 35-18. Too much praise could never be bestowed upon Miss Vines for her outstanding coaching and good-sportsmanship. W ithout her the basketball and hockey teams would never have been so successful. Remarks like. What a well-coached team, ' have recognized her ability in coaching, and the love for her shown by her team-members proves her wonderful character. « «  Wonderful Eyes Fictional Characters are capable of remark- able stunts. For instance: Her eyes roamed carelessly around the room. ■ ' He withdrew his eyes from her face, and they fell to the floor at her tiny feet. ' Their eyes met; then swam together. Marjorie would often remove her eyes from the deck and cast them out to sea. ' With her eyes she riveted him to the spot.  AMERICA Priscilla Bonney, 8A A for America the best land on the earth. M for men who fight for the land of their birth E for the education which we all need R for religious freedom to make us good indeed; I for Independence for which we fight C for colors of the flag so bright and A for America the land of truth and right. 43 A younj; woman brought a )apping dog into a hotel dining room. A man at a nearby table endured it for awhile, then turned to her and with a grave air of solicitude asked, Your first dog, madam? Ed: I feel like telling that teacher off again. Red: What do you mean again fid: I felt like it yesterday, too. Freshman: How long will I have to wail for a shave? Barber: About one year I ' d say. Mike: You know our teacher talks to himself. Ike: Mine does too only he doesn ' t know it. He thinks we ' re listening. Employer : You re asking pretty high pa) for a boy with no experience. Boy: It ' s much harder work when you don ' t know anything about it. I ' ve only rut myself once while sha ing, said the freshman. How many times have ou shaved? inquired the senior. Once, replied the freshman. She: Kiss me once more like that and I ' m yours forever. He: Thanks for the warning. ' Isn ' t this a terrible picture of me? I look just like a monkey. You should have thought of that before )ou had it taken. Nothing Definite Yet Jiin: What a crowd! Something happen? Walt: Man hit by a train. Jim: Hurt bad? Wall: Can ' t tell. Only found one leg so far. First Senior: I would marry her but foi ' one thing. Second Senior: Afraid to pop the fjuestion? First Senior: No, afraid to question the Pop. Halt; who goes there? American. Advance and recite the second verse of ' The Star-Spangled Banner. ' 1 don ' t know it. Proceed, American! Teacher: What pine has the longest and sharp- est needles? Willie: The porcu. Conversaliun as heard in the girls ' locker room : He has gone around with more girls than the revolving door at Macy ' s. Student: What did you say? Mr. Douglas: I don ' t know; I wasn ' t listening. Harvard men are gentlemen, says Nancy, and ou can always have a good long talk with a Princeton man. But do they teach any- thing at Dartmouth but blocking and tackling? 44 lies AUTOGRAPHS JOHN S.
