30 CHIMES Daniel Yuhr, ' 46 FOOTBALL Last season, the boys in the blue and white won two gridiron bouts and lost six. To best describe the season ' s activities would be to quote a line from a past Chimes. They were the best team on the field in everything except scoring. We had a volunteer, but welcome, assistant in the person of Mr. Dodge. We started out by losing to a larger and heavier Hingham team. Our boys looked very green, and very little like football players. We lost the second game to an inexperienced Barnstable team. Barnstable scored a touchdown in the second quarter and sewed it up with a safety in the third. We won our first game when we invaded our traditional rivals, Cohasset. The Blue and White scored two touchdowns, one a pass and one a blocked kick. We lost a third time to an inferior Kingston team. The game with Marshfield was the best game of the season. Marshfield scored two touchdowns and one conversion in the first quarter. Then one of Scituate ' s players was hurt. The score at the time was 13-0, but we came through and won that game for Teddy Dunne, 13-14. We next lost a close and hair-raising game to Randolph. The score was a tie, 6-6, for most of the game, but in the last minute, Stetson scored again, to win. Scituate gave a 18-0 victory to a superior Han- over team. Although it seemed as though we were about to score several times, Hanover always stiffened just in time. To end a rather bad season the boys lost 26-0 to a much larger and more experienced Norwood team. The first string and the first-string substitutes were as follows: E. Swift and W. Dacey, C; C. Fleming and R. Frisina, G; T. Chadbourne, D. Schultz, and T. Macy, T; K. Stone, R. Flaherty, R. Holcomb, and W. Swift, E; R. Glynn, T. Dunne, and R. Ewell, HB; C. Patterson and C. Vickery, QB; and J. Arcana, FB. The team had almost entirely new equipment last year, thanks to the fruitful efforts of Mr. Dixon. The better half of the team will be back next year so we are looking forward to a good foot- ball season in 1945. The football results were as follows: Sept. 30 Hingham Here 7 22 Oct. 7 Barnstable Here 0 8 Oct. 12 Cohasset There 13 7 Oct. 20 Kingston There 6 20 Oct. 28 Marshfield Here 14 13 Nov. 4 Randolph Here 6 12 Nov. 11 Hanover There 0 20 Nov. 18 Norwood There 0 27

CHIMES 29 children had handled me. Thank goodness! They are so careless. I heard from Abe that Copper puss, my best friend, was lost down a sewer be- cause of a child ' s carelessness. This little boy put me in a slot and a piece of gum rolled out of this awful machine. For several months I stayed there until finally I heard a key twist in a hole and I with 1,374 pennies rolled out into a bag. We were all given to a bank for larger change and bills. Some company bought us from this bank. We were put into a big tub and given an acid bath so once again I was brightly shining. Then I was put inside cellophane with another friend whose name was Shiny. This name suited him well because he certainly was shiny. Then the two of us along with other couples in cellophane, were put in a dark box. One day I was given a push and out a slot I tumbled. A man with a mustache picked me up. It was then I realized I was with some Chesterfields. He put me in a dark pocket where I stayed for a long time. Fin- ally he gave me to a little girl who spent me on candy. Eventually I was given to a man as change. Did I say children were careless? They ' re not the only ones. This man dropped me on a busy street corner and I rolled down a man-hole. Dirt and water drained down on top of me so I was awfully messy and covered with muck. I was sure I ' d never be found again. I stayed there several years. Finally a man came down to repair a gas-pipe and found me. Boy! was I glad. He took me home and gave me to a sweet yellow haired girl who put me in a glass piggy bank. I was the 1,875 th penny in that bank, enough to buy a War Bond. Now I, a penny, feel happy. I ' ve really amounted to something and I feel as if I ' ve done my share in this war. THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF AN AIRPLANE George Whorf, 7b I am a B17 and I was born at the Boeing Air- plane Plant. I was tested by a test pilot named Jim, who made me do everything I could do. Finally I was taken to La Guardia Field, New York, where I got my crew. My crew named me Pistol Packin ' Poppa. They flew me and flew me until my gas tanks were almost empty. We landed on an airfield in California where the ground crew fed me gasoline and checked all parts of my body. After we took off at the California airfield, we met some of my brothers and flew along over the Pacific in their company. We landed on Clark Field and made that our base. My crew took very good care of me. One afternoon my crew loaded me with bombs and took off with a hundred other planes. We flew on, hour after hour, over the Pacific. We reached our destination sometime late at night and our bombardiers released my bombs on the target. When we got back, all of my crew received a medal. I didn ' t know what our target was so I asked a plane that had been at the field quite a while. When it told me it was Tokyo, Japan, I almost fell on my nose turret. I am grounded now as some dirty old zero shot me up and I am waiting to be repaired. I will fly and fight again pretty soon as your War Bonds will buy me new parts. Keep ' em flying down in Boeing, won ' t you?
