30 WHO ' S WHO? IT would be hard to miss this gal with her snapping brown mischievous eyes and her wide humorous grin. She ' s an illustrious senior, but I can ' t imagine how she ever made the grade, she ' s always so tardy in everything else. But she ' s improving, or is it because she can drive the car to school this year when she misses the bus, ( which is hardly ever, I assure you. ) She ' s usu- ally everywhere at once, but if by chance you don ' t see her, you can alua)s hear her giggling somewhere. Now you must know who she is! P. S. She likes beans. « ♦ « If you should drop in to 209 at 9:15. you would see this character. He is a mechanical genius who fiddles with everything from a cig- arette-lighter to nitroglycerin. One of his inter- esting hobbies is fooling publishing companies, — oops! almost gave him away. I ' ll give one more hint though for those of you who don ' t already know. He pals around with the fellow who sits behind him. » « When this gal first entered Scituate High School in her freshman year, she was well- known for her shy and innocent manner, but times have changed since then ! She is noted for her acting ability and for the crack about her fav- orite basketball referee being the one in the black and white striped shirt. I guess her fav- orite song in DANNY BOY. Oh. how can you help but know who she is now? This fellow is a senior. He plays basketball, football and is an enthusiastic Boy Scout. He has a beautiful cow-lick, so his blond hair just refuses to stay in place, and his blue eyes are always sparkling with some sort of devilishment. He pla s the drums and used to take piano les- sons, but he claims the teacher just gave up. He ' s famous for his home-made swimming pool. Do )ou need any more hints now ? Pop! Bang! Smash! Here they come: so look out! These two bo)s of the sophomore class are well-known for their mischief and devilishment. W henever trouble is brewing, you can be sure they had something to do with it. The smaller half of this team has red hair and of course the traditional freckles that go along with it. He was UiihM-lni Inr ' ihc foolball Icam this year and will In- lorcvt i known for his pari iti llie junior a ;-einl)l . The olhei ' half ol this Mutl and Jeff set-up is decided!) taller than his part- ner; he has dark hair and a most delightful sort of leaping walk. He used to work as a soda jerker at the Harbor. If you don ' t know who this combination is now, you ' ll just have to ask someone. « This junior boy is noted for his unusual nick- name, and for his unending pranks. I ' m sure he wouldn ' t be at home unless he was on the foot- ball field every year playing quarter-back. Every- one knows him, and if you don ' t, well, that ' s too bad, for you really should have his friendship on your list. « « This certain 203 freshman boy is tall, and has a medium build. He has brown hair and blue eyes. His name really shouldn ' t be what it is, but Scientific Brain instead. He is a whiz in all sorts of science and is always experimenting and talking — period. P. S. He ' s also a camera fiend. ■» » He ' s tall and has brown wavy hair, a charac- teristic all the girls love. You ' ve seen this dash- ing senior in the baseball infield, on the basket- ball court, and on the football field. He s known for the nick-name Cuddles. We can ' t guess why. Perhaps it has something to do with ' ' Cumfy. ' Now ' don ' t tell me you don ' t know who it is. » » The senior class is proud to claim this vivaci- ous blonde with fetching green eyes. She ' s as sweet as her face foretells and as pleasant as her every expression. She takes music lessons, and has a beautiful ()ice. She ' s one of the beauties of the class and quite an engaging lass. This one isn ' t hard, is it? » » He ' s the senior class comic and is quite a wit. His cartoons keep us laughing: his quips keep us gay. He sits by the hour, no matter where he is. drawing pictures of some engaging lass. His imagination is superb. ou never can guess what will take shape next in this Irishman ' s mind. He ' s the Harbor s pride and the Senior ' s joy. You certainly know this hilarious boy. » This gay little freshman claims her hair real- ly isn ' t red but we all know better. She is one of those rare people who can get an A in Latin — and in everything else for that matter. She wears briiihl colors wliii h forever ki ' eji her spir- its up. and she can be seen in the arl-rooin al- in(jst an litni; of day. (ionic on, all this one ' s easy !

32 ®DDIM€§ JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL NEWS NOTES Nancy Breen, 8 A Charles Mahon, 8B Stop ! Look ! and Listen ! On September 5, 1945, when school opened, sixty-five very important individuals entered the Junior High School door. They were the eighth grade. For most of the boys manual training was new. Mr. Dodge helped the boys build book- ends, etc.; and although many had never worked with power tools, they managed quite well. Movies, which help the students to better un- derstand a particular study, were shown in Miss Maxim ' s geography class. Film strips have been shown by Mrs. Williams to aid in the study of American history. An English Club was formed under the direc- tion of Miss Cunneen. It was known as The Know and Speak Better English Club. The meet- ings are usually he ld once a week when inter- esting topics are discussed. The use of the mi- crophone stimulates interest in the meetings. Room 202 (8B) was one of the first in the building lo top the $300 quota in the recent War Bond drive. Total sales were about $800. In the recent magazine drive Room 201 (BA) collected the greatest number of subscriptions. A prize of an American flag was awarded to 8A for their effort. Intramural basketball teams were organized by Coach Dixon. At the close of the season Donald Bickford ' s team, the Buzzards, was proclaimed the junior high champions. WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE SEVENTH GRADE? John Goodnow, 7 A Lois Merrill, 78 On Wednesday, September 5, seventy-five happy-go-lucky boys and girls entered Scituate High. We were a bit flustered at first, but soon got used to it, and now we are old-timers. We sold magazines for the Curtis Publishing Company, and the seventh grade sold $108 worth with captains Harold McAvenia for 7B and Susan Anderson for 7A. Room 102 came out second. Our English Club was loads of fun with many amusing topics. The tnicrophotie helped correct some 1)1 iiiir s|)t ' i-(h errors lor ihcy sdmidcrl worse when heard tlirmij ' .ii the loud spe;ikt-r. We wen; jjroud lo have Jolin Caliii ;ni(l .jolin (ioodnow make high honors. Familiar sounds at school this year were the barking of David LaVange ' s dog and the drip- ping of water through the ceiling in Room 101 during frequent storms. Ellen O ' Neil, Fannie Wharf, Bruce Wyman and John Goodnow sang in the all-school play The Showboat Minstrels. We lost one member of the class, who moved to Weymouth. Pupils perfect in attendance for the half year are Jean Carlson, Letty Richards, Joe Cerilli, Robert Burbank. Robert Morrow, David La- Vange, Joe Lopes, Richard Preston. John Dav- is, Jack Stark, Roy Spear, John Cahir, John Goodnow. Robert Heywood and Ralph Fuller. An inquisitive little boy named Robert Frazer asked Miss Cunneen for a book with an appendix in it. That gave us a laugh, although of course it was quite correct. An amusing incident happened when the ath- letic field froze and Charles Noble ripped his pants. When he returned from Miss Kings- bury ' s repair shop. Miss Maxim inquired, Everything whole. Charlie? We have enjoyed sound movies on geography and hygiene. Many of us went skating on the athletic field when it froze. Betty Whittaker and others showed us some beautiful skating. RED STALLION Sandra Smith, SB Deep in the plains of the West lies a gullv unknown to human beings. In this secret haven filled with lush green grass fed by a bubbling stream a herd of sleek, brown mares and spring colts were grazing to their heart ' s content. A few feet from this brood stood a chestnut stal- lion, ears alert to every sound of danger. His mane, unlike the others, bore ancient signs of being clipped. Many years ago he had escaped from a cattle ranch and had found the hidden gullv and the fort} or more mares. Their leader, a black stal- lion, had just died from a wound received in a fall. The mares, crazed with fear, stampeded, neighing loudly. The stallion snorted and pawed the ground. Suddenly he galloped after the mares nipping the flanks of the stragglers. He soon had lh( tn undct ' order and his shrill, |)roud. nciL ' li i(is ' I riiiniplianlly ovci ihc rolliuL ' hill -.
