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.
