CHIMES 17 — C lOO OOKING back through the past months, one p , would truly say that this has been a very active year. Dances and games have been very frequent, and both have attracted crowds. The students contributed to their utmost in both the T. B. and Junior Red Cross drives. Each class filled the annual Christmas boxes for the Red Cross to be sent to needy children in other countries. This year has also been one of the best in the sale of war bonds and stamps. NEW TEACHERS Two new faces appeared in the halls of Scituate High School last September. Upon inquiry we found one new-comer to be Mr. Nelson, our new principal, who was to take the place which Mr. Parkhurst had left. The other was Mr. Dodge, the new manual training teacher, who succeeded Mr. Sandberg. We found out later that he had many other talents than just wood and plastic working, after seeing him volunteering his services to Mr. Dixon in assisting both the football and basketball teams. He is an excellent basketball player himself and also a good referee. Both Mr. Nelson and Mr. Dodge arc very well liked and very welcome here. Mr. Leach and Miss Reynolds came later in the year to replace Mr. Smith when the latter went to teach in Wash- ington. Mr. Leach took over the band and Miss Reynolds, the chorus. The work of both has been greatly appreciated. REORGANIZATION OF THE SCHOOL BAND The school band was reorganized when Mr. Donald Leach of Whitman, the leader of many bands in the neighboring towns, came to Scituate this fall. A call for all former members of the band and orchestra was sent out and was answered by about thirty enthusiastic musicians. Many of the members of the group were Junior High School students. Their response is very gratifying be- cause in order to keep a standing band in the school, the musicians should be started in the lower grades. The band played at the all-school play Johnny on the Spot and also at many of the assemblies. Also a joint concert with the Marshfield band was given toward the end of the year. Mr. Leach is a very capable and talented leader. In addition to this he is an excellent trumpet player, having an orchestra of his own which has played at many of our dances. SALVAGE DRIVE In the early fall many girls and boys aided in the collection of waste paper and scrap metal. They worked in groups of five or six, assisting in collecting and preparing the scrap for ship- ment. All together, many tons of tin and paper were gathered and shipped. For the part the school played in the salvage collections, Colonel Schuyler presented the school with a projector which will be used for showing slides. OTHER WAR ACTIVITIES Under the direction of the Scouts many of the girls have worked daily throughout the year at the Cohasset Hospital as nurses ' aides. They give from three to six hours of their time a week, and are employed in doing small necessary jobs around the hospital as they are needed. The girls say the work is very interesting, and since many of them wish to take up nursing as a career, it is very profitable training. Other girls have done their bit by rolling bandages for the Red Cross. Boys and girls alike helped out in the fall and early spring by working on the many farms in the vicinity. They also helped to pick apples at Bulrush Farm and did other odd jobs around town. Some of the girls collected money at the movie theater for the Red Cross and T. B. drives. LIBRARY ASSOCIATION A newly-formed group in Scituate High School is the Library Association. Its purpose is to help pupils in finding books which they need for as- signments and also to prevent loss and damage through carelessness in handling. The group is under the guidance of Miss Gile, who is in charge of the hbrary. Barbara Tindall is president; Anne Heffernan, secretary; and a committee made up of Ann Graham, Ligi Goddard, Ellen Calla- han and Albert Avery completes the organization. ASSEMBLIES The first assembly of the year was in charge of Mr. Wilcox to acquaint Mr. Nelson with the regular formalities of our assemblies. At the as-
