Tiie Seniors started with a Christmas assembly on December twenty-first. Don Mc- I ' herson as Santa Glaus presented gifts, and we sang Christmas carols. In January the Juniors put on a comical musical radio program, com- plete with a Spike Jones orchestra. The whole thing was riot with the Juniors having as good a time as t ' .ie audience. In April the Sophomores sponsored an interesting program. The Freshmen assembly on May 7, was an old-fashioned comedy and dancing play. On September 27. there was a very inter- esting lecture by Col. C. Wellington Furlong, on the subject ' The Passing of the Old West. On October 11. Miss Elva Novelle, a harpist, told us something of the origin of the harp and gave a recital. On November 9, we had our annual Armistice Day assembly. Safety on the Highways was presented on November 27. The first assemblv after the Christmas vacation was an interesting talk by Stephen Frichman on Youth Today. The highlight of the year was the assembly that was put on by the musical mem- bers of the faculty. This was first given at a Parent-Teacher Association meeting, and was so well-liked that it was requested for the benefit of the student body. Miss Dorothy Maxim, Miss Gertrude Reynolds. Mrs. Emma Damon, Mrs. Owen Frvling, Mr. Harold Cole, and Mr. Leroy Fuller presented an excellent program of piano solos, duets, quartets, and sextets; and Mr. Leach played a trumpet selection. On February 12, there was an assembly that left us all with the intention of sailing around the world in a sail- boat we built ourselves. Yes, that ' s just what two boys did. and one of them came and told us of the Voyage of Volita. Mr. Lloyd Bemis in February showed us some beautiful slides on The Lure of the Lakes. March 1, C. Findley Bowser left us breathless with his mov- ies and talk on mountain climbing. To intro- duce the annual Red Gross Drive, Miss Helen Fogg of Norwell gave a very entertaining talk on her experiences with the Red Cross. On March 21 Alonzo Pond presented a lecture with slides on Torchlight ..II Cold Trails. In April Mr. Laurence 1,. Ilaibcr gave ;in illiisl rali-d lc liii ' on New Englanil Today. In May we liati some movies enlillt ' d News Parade, Tootliall Paj- ade, and a singing film. We ' ve had some very interesting and instructive assemblies. The art department, for the second year, mad( linoleum cuts for a school calendar. This year they used typical scenes from the South Shore. The classes have been doing everything from charcoal sketches to water color painting. They have entered several contests so far, but none of the results have been announced, so we don ' t know yet whether or not we have any winners. Have you noticed any of the well-made and becoming dresses the girls have been displaying throughout the school year? In the household arts departinent, the girls have made many clothes and the cooking classes have served luncheons to the members of the faculty. AH in all, this has been a very exciting and enjoyable year. SAILING Jack Variiey, ' 48 1 hoisted the mainsail up the mast, And then 1 made the halliard fast, 1 cast off and was out at sea, As happy as a boy could be. The breeze was blowing steady now. And the spray was dashing o ' er the bow. I was happy on that sea, As happy as a boy could be. TWILIGHT Mary Dwight, ' 49 Night is drawing nigh — Evening is stealing across the sky, Stars begin to peep — Birds, beasts and flowers sleep. « Mr. Dixon: Give me an example of wasted energy. Secor: Telling a hair-raising story to a bald- headed man. Amiot: Would you punish somebody for something he didn ' t do? Mr. W.: Of course not. Amiot: Well, I didn ' t do my algebra. Miss Final. ■ Now, we find that X equals zero. Mahoney: Aw gee, all that work for nothing. Overheard in a barber shop: Your hair will get gray if it keeps on.
