We ' ve had a wonderful year to- gether, — becoming agitated over history debates, worrying about shorthand tests, studying the periods of English literature, groaning over geometry and math exams, organizing volley ball teams in gym, singing in glee club, partici- pating in dramatics, playing in the band, cheer- ing at games (as well as being on the teams), going to class dances, writing for the Scituation and the Chimes and last, but not least, groan- ing over the ever-increasing homework. We started the year by re-electing Ronnie Fallon as president; Buckie Flynn, vice-president; Martha Peirce, secretary; Verdella Goddard, treasurer. We chose Miss Riggs and Mr. Stewart as class advisers. We ' re sorry to say that two members of our class did not rejoin us this last September. Bob Rich transferred to Hebron Academy, and Harry Richards moved to Vermont. The senior class was well represented in all the sports this year. We are very proud that four seniors, Murray Snow, Manuel Spinola, Jack Varney, and Dick Whittaker made the South Shore All-Star Football Team this year. Also doing their share towards our victories in sports were our spirited cheer leaders. Verdella Goddard and Phyllis Mitchell, who, along with the rest of the cheerleaders, were ably led by Martha Peirce. In the all-school production Blue and White Varieties, the incomparable pair, Laura Cerilli and Louise Reddy, made the show a success by their singing and their acting. What would Scituate High have done these last few years without Laura and Louise? In our senior class play, Big-Hearted Herbert, which was produced in April under the direction of Miss Gile, the parts were taken by Jean Prouty, Louise Reddy, Laura Cerilli, Joanne MacDonald, Elizabeth Fleming, Earl Merritt, Ronnie Fallon, Buckie Flynn, Leland Towle, and Bill Green. The seniors took an active part in the Student Council this year. Two of the seniors, Jon Flynn and Shirley Damon, were among the group who attended the student council convention at Attle- boro. Alette Dolan and Gabriel Jacobucci were the seniors who went to the convention at New Bedford. The senior class is very happy to say that Alette Dolan. the Scituate High representative at the American Legion oratorical contest at Bridge- water, was awarded second prize for her fine oration, The Rights We Defend. The girl chosen to receive the D. A. R. Good Citizenship Award this year was Shirley Damon. Shirley attended a banquet in Boston in March where she met the other Good Citizenship repre- sentatives of Massachusetts. Jon Flynn, the senior who is always expound- ing political theories in history, was elected as a representative from this district to the Massa- chusetts student assembly. Evidently Buckie ' s experience at the State House made a great im- pression on him. for he has made some excellent speeches lately. Still another honor that has been conferred upon a member of the senior class this year is the music scholarship that Laura Cerilli received. In competition with several other girls in the high school, Laura won the music scholarship offered by Mrs. Glenn Wilson. We ' re really proud of Laura. The members of the class who have been elected to actively participate in the Class Day program are Ronnie Fallon, who, as class president, will deliver the welcome address; Jon Flynn, the prophecy; Laura Cerilli, the will; Martha Peirce and Jack Varney, the gifts; and Shirley Damon, the history. Bill Amiot will make the dedication speech for the planting of the class tree. Alette Dolan and Paul Avery have written the class ode to the tune of Now Is the Hour. We feel sure that this year ' s Class Day will be a very enjoyable one, for both the members of the class and their guests. 5 rill- l()|)ic of com (Tsation tliat seems lo he - v rvwlieie amorii; mam of the seniors is. of course, collefie. One often hears the names of Harvard. Regis. Northeastern. Katherine ( ihhs. New Hampshire, Cornell. Antioch. Colgate, and many other colleges to which we are applying for entrance. We are very pleased to say that several of our class have already been accepted at colleges. Many more will undoubtedly be accepted by graduation. We. the Class of 194B. are going out into a chaotic world. From our discussions of world events, we have seen the |)icture of the (huk times th il ma be ahead of us. We realize that the ever-darkening clouds may mean war or just a national crisis. Either way, these clouds will affect us personally. However, with the confi- dence of the young, we go out to meet the future with a courageous heart. As we go out into the world, we shall appreciate, more than ever, Scit- uate High School, the school that has given us a fine background to face the problems ahead. .Scituate High School — the school that we really love. GRADUATES OF 48 ]on Flynn A band of freshmen in forty-four. Amidst the hardships of a great war. Embarked upon a voyage sublime. Undaunted, thinking of the time When they would face the world alone. When earth had shaped a better tone. For four long years they faced the test, A struggle, but they did their best — A pleasure here, a heartache there. Success and failure — yes, despair. Yet doggedly they carried on; They knew the battle must be won. Now. at last, four years have passed: Their problems all seem solved at last. And now they face, quite unafraid. The future. Now may all the parts they ' ve played Reflect upon the Stage of Time Accomplishments in every line Of drama. May those fruitful years Be replete with much laughter and few tears! And now at last we write Finis: Our high school life is historv. We face the future and must form Our battle lines, come sun or storm. WHAT WILL S. H. S.

JUNIOR CLASS David Dwyer In this simple little rhyme, We give you the class of ' 49 . President, secretary and all the rest Of our fifty-five pupils are the best. Eddie Veiga has the president ' s chair: He ' ll lead us through crises without despair. In case our Eddie isn ' t on hand, Charlie Hurley will take his stand. The girl who has the secretary ' s chair. Is Patricia Goddard, ready and fair. Dolores Parker, it seems, will keep Our money until no more she can reap. Last but not least come the teachers elected, Mr. Wilcox and Miss Dudley we have selected. Many of our boys and girls you find. In school activities of every kind. We as a class appear in each sport. As players or cheerleaders, we hold the fort. Some of us are witty, others are smart, To get to the top we do our part. A discussion in English is likely to cause A hot and long parley without any pause. French and geometry, as you will recall. Are no subjects to fool with in study hall. A word to the wise is often enough, A session or two will calm the tough. As for the future, we ' ll never stop. Til by hard work we ' ve reached the top. In college or business we ' ll never rest ' Til we ' re satisfied we ' ve done our best. 12 SOPHOMORE CLASS First Row: J. Cunningham, J. Castles, D. Vickery. C. Jenkins, J. Nord. B. Murrill, 0.

SOPHOMORE CLASS ]auet Best, Carol Stearns HEAR e Hear ye! The news of the Class of 19.50 now comes winging its way to you. Fifty-two bright, cheery Sophomores enrolled in September of this school year. Two or three former members were missing, and some new- comers were added. Constance Murphy went to Mount St. Joseph ' s in Brighton: Peter Arapoff moved to Verinont: and George Mitchell enrolled at Thayer Academy. Bruce Donlan from Chicago and John Cunningham from Milton became welcome members of the class. The class officers were elected as follows: Glenn Parker, president: Osborne McMorrow. vice president: Nancy Breen, treasurer: and Elizabeth Murrill, secretary. The same class advisers pre- vailed, these being Miss Kingsbury and Mr. Benson. The ever-faithful Sophomores were well repre- sented in football, basketball, baseball, and hockey. Man) got letters and certificates. The Sophomore girls of the Household Arts class gave a very successful Christmas tea for parents and members of the faculty. In the early spring they prepared a series of luncheons, which gave the girls experience in cooking, serving, and being hostesses. The all-school production spotlighted mam Sophomores, including Charmaine Witt, Bar- bara Cole, and Nancy Litchfield. Nancy Breen. Glenn Parker, and Frank Duval headed the Sophomore dance committee for the Freshman-Sophomore Dance held April 2. Be sure to follow our career next year as bright upper-classmen. 13 FRESHMAN CLASS FiusT Row: P. Delano. H. Bitkfonl. N. Dwight, M. J. Stewart, S. Brigham, M. Luce, S. Roberts, E. Colien, J.

FRESHMAN CLASS John Cahir, John Goodnoiv INTO the halls of Scituate High last September came the Class of 1951. Three new students joined our ranks. They were James Milroy from North Quincy, Peter Bennett from Philadelphia, and Connie Mendell, from Dayton. Ohio. We lost Robert Heywood to Cohasset High School. At our first class meeting we elected Eugene Cohen, president; Scott Roberts, vice president: Mar) Luce. secretar : and Joseph Cerilli. treas- urer. We also unanimously elected Mr. Walker and Miss Rowell as class advisers. A Freshman-Sophomore dance was held April 2. Mary Jane Stewart. Arthur Dunphv. and Jane Flaherty worked very ably as freshman members of the committee. The B. U. tests for the Freshmen showed that the class was well above average in scholarship. Many of the Freshman went out for athletics, and among them are some leading candidates for next year ' s teams. The Freshman Class has taken part in a wide field of activities in 1947-48, and we hope to be a leader in the years to come. 14 Eighth Grade News Jebby Burnham, 8A Jack KettelL SB On Wednesday, September 3, 1947. about 70 boys and girls arrived in Mrs. Williams ' and Miss Cunneen ' s rooms with a feeling of know- how and were prepared to show off and give instructions to our lower classmen, the seventh grade. We were, of course, the superior people of junior high. We looked forward eagerly to our new work and classes, such as shop and household arts. The Junior High part of the All-School play was a television act. which consisted of a variety entertainment including the all-girl chorus of the eighth grade girls, a butterfly ballet, and other features. The girls in 8A started a fad of wearing Eton hats and the seventh grade enthusiastically copied them. All the girls try to get a different colored one. Five new boys have entered Scituate High. The boys are Joseph Veiga. Vasco Rodrigues, Fidelio Rodrigues. Casimiro Fernandez, and Augusto Andrade. All boys are working hard and will be a credit to our school. Several bovs from junior high went out for football and made good. Among them were Howard Mecca Cole, Henry Hank Cusick, Robert Cashman, Tom Snow, and Bowman Locklin. Howard Cole was on the varsity, while Henry Cusick was sent in as a valuable substitute inany times. A history club has been started by Mis. Wil- liams of oB which includes both eighth grades. The first meeting was held on January 16. and the plan is to hold meetings every other week. Both grades were sorr to hear of Miss Row- ell ' s temporary absence but feel that Miss Bour- nazos is a capable substitute. We are proud of Mecca Cole, who made the varsity on both the football and basketball teams. oB put on a historical assembly which was enjoyed by the junior high. Seventh Grade News Stephen Chadbourne, 7A Sheila Mahoney, 7B One of the largest seventh grades ever to enter Scituate High School put in an appearance early Wednesday morning, September 3. 1947. It felt very strange to come up to the High School and change from room to room. Every- body was confused as to which room he was to go to. Occasionally someone would get lost and have to be set right again. Now we have become so used to things wo might be called old timers. We have two new students in the seventh grade. Bertie Jean Walker from Rhod e Island and Daniel De Gorge from Newton, who have already made nian friends. However, although we gained two new students, we lost a very good one, Aram Brazilian, but he is expected to return soon. Some of the girls from the seventh grade took part in the All-School Show. They were in the Junior High part of the program, which was a Television Act. Since the eighth grade can show such fine examples of sportsmanship, we must mention two people who have played very well on the basket- ball teams. Mary Goodnow and Mike Veiga did an excellent job this year and we are very proud of them both. The eighth grade girls have developed the new fad of wearing Eton hats and the seventh grade have taken to the idea eagerlv. We are all looking forward to more happy years at Scituate High School. S.

After the usual opening exercises, a choral group sang ' Roger Young. Frederick A. Calkin, Super- intendent of Schools, delivered an introductory address in which he spoke of the significance of the occasion and explained that the memorial was the gift of the Class of 1946. Immediately afterwards, Mr. Froberger gave an inspiring address, formally dedicating the plaque. After the dedication there was a moment of silence, followed by taps.

TO OUR HERO DEAD IN WORLD WAR II 1941 1945 Scituate High School Pays Homage to the Memory of These Valiants who Gave the Last Full Measure of Devotion to Their Country. Chase Abbott Chester R. Gurney, Jr. Raymond Andrews Thomas G. Harrigan Wilfred E. Appleton Edward R. Hooper Lionel Bush Renie J. Jacobucci Robert A. Cole Nelson Kindlund Joseph Dabue Elwin A. Lane Parker T. Ewell Edward A. Nichols Robert W. Fleming Frank L. -Shea, Jr. Edwin R. Spear Lssem blies Pleasant interludes in the school activity cal- endar have been provided by the tmmerous edu- cational and entertaimnent programs offered through the combined efforts of the faculty, the students, and the school authorities. Included in the assemblies this year were several observances of special dates. At the Con- stitution Day Assembly Representative Nathaniel Tilden gave a brief history of our government. He discussed the part high school students can play in today ' s government and how they can contribute to the success of the United Nations. On Armistice Day, Captain Bennett, of the LTnited States Navy, delivered an address. In the assem- bly commemorating American Education Week, Mr. Froberger and Superintendent Frederick A. Calkin spoke on the significance of the week; and Mr. Hugh Nixon, secretary of the Massa- chusetts Teachers ' Federation, informed the pupils of Scituate High School of the importance of an education. Memorial Day was appropri- ately observed with a solemn program. However, most of the assemblies for the com- memoration of special dates were student-partici- pation programs. For the observance of Colum- bus Day a program was offered by the following students: Jon Flynn. Shirley Damon. Joanne MacDonald, Louise Reddy. and Ronald Fallon. The motion picture, The People ' s Charter, was also shown. Another student-participation assembly was presented for Lincoln ' s and Wash- ington ' s Birthdays. Robert Morrow. Edgar Lock- lin, Carol Stearns. Jane Flaherty. Peter Bennett. Bruce Wyman, Ellen O ' Neil, and Ronald Duval contributed selections suitable to the occasion. One very interesting feature of this assembly was the tableau The Four Freedoms. presented by Nancy Dwight, Janet Sternfelt, Charmaine Witt. Laura Sampson. Marion Damon. Dolores Parker, and Ida Vespaziani. On Good Govern- ment Day students of Miss Gile s senior history classes read the proclamation for that day and explained the structure of our governinent to the underclassinen. Other members of S. H. S. assisted in the Christmas Assembly. Although the band concert put on by the Scituate High School Band, did not commemorate a special date, it was enjoyed by all. Not to be forgotten in the list of assemblies are those which were presented by the Junior High. Miss Giles ' home room, 7A, put on a short but entertaining play. A Dress-Up Party. The program produced by the pupils of Mrs. Williams ' home rooin, SB was also outstanding. 16 Part I consisted of the history of our flag in song and story, presented by David Stone. Sally Lee. Peter Nord, Evelyn Jenny, and Roxanna Turner. Part II was entitled Three Minutes of the Latest News. In this part of the program Russell Paul spoke on World Affairs ; Helen Murphy spoke on United States News ; and Priscilla Merritt spoke on Local News. Miss Vollmer ' s home room. 7B, and Miss Cunneen ' s home room. oA, also produced excellent assemblies. Although Mr. Walker is not a professional lecturer, he might well be one, for his lecture, Life with an Olympic Hockey Team, was very interesting. Outstanding were the assemblies which fea- tured outside talent. Some of the lecturers and their subjects were as follows: Mr. John Bond. L nited Prison Association, Prison Conditions : Dr. F. Arnold Young, English As She Is Spoke ; Dee Broeckman, Life With an Olympic Team : Marguerite Soule Shoemaker. Exploring the Marine Wonderland : Officer Little. Safety Education ; Nutchuck. World Famous Eskimo, Return from the Smoky Sea : Miss Dunn. Choosing a Vacation . Last but not least were the football rallies, assemblies for the presentation of awards, and vocational movies. Due credit should be given to the members of the faculty whose assistance and guidance con- tributed much to the success of student programs. May assemblies continue to be included in the activities of Scituate High School. School Newspaper Through the coinbined efforts of students and faculty, Scituate High School now has a school paper. This is the first attempt at a news sheet, and it has proved to be very successful. Much credit should be given to the newspaper staff for their excellent work. In a recent meeting of the staff, held to determine the most suitable name for the paper, The Scituation was chosen. The name was submitted by Shirley Damon. S. H. S. Broadcast On November 22, 1947, a group from the Scit- uate High School went to Brockton to present a broadcast over Station WBET. A girls ' chorus consisting of Ida Vespaziani. Barbara Cole, Nancy Litchfield. Fannie Whorf, Janice Taylor, Florence Zalenski, Charmaine Witt, Laura Cer- illi,and Joanne MacDonaldsang several selections under the direction of Miss Gertrude Reynolds. After the singing, a skit, The Alcott Family. was presented over the air under the direction of Miss Eleanor Gile. Those who took the parts of the members or friends of the famous Alcott family were Muriel Nichols, Barbara Best. Janet Allen. Laura Cerilli, Mary Lou Kilduff, Leland Towle, and Joanne MacDonald, narrator. After their broadcast the group toured the radio station. They had a very interesting and enjoyable time during the whole experience. Magazine Drive The annual magazine drive of Scituate High School netted a profit for the school of $238.50. Jean Prouty was manager of the drive with the help of Mr. Atkinson, faculty adviser. The school was divided into two teams. Army and Notre Dame, captained by Jon Flynn and Shirley Damon of the Senior Class. The team turning in the most money was Notre Dame. Stanley McAvenia received a radio for selling the most subscriptions. Oratorical Contest Scituate High School participated again this year in the annual American Legion Oratorical Contest. In the intramural elimination Alette Dolan was chosen to represent the school with her oration, The Rights We Defend. Other contestants were Louise Reddy, who spoke on Privileges and Responsibilities of American Citizens and Jon Flynn. who developed the subject, Our Constitution in a Changing World. In the district contest, which was held at State Teachers College in Bridgewater on March 7, Alette made a very creditable appearance and was awarded second prize. Representatives from nine schools of Barnstable and Plymouth Counties participated in this contest. The judges were five members of the faculty of Bridgewater Teachers College. Semper Petunt Semper Petunt is once again Scituate High ' s school song. A few years ago the song was orig- inated by Mr. William Smith, former supervisor of music. Through the efforts of the Student Council Semper Petunt is now the official school song. Community Drives Again this year the students of Scituate High School have participated in various community drives. Students have given generously to the Red Cross, The March of Dimes, and the Tuber- culosis Fund. LOCKER- ROOM INSPfCTlOM f.

The representa- tives for this year are as follows: seniors — Pres- ident Gabriel Jacobucci, Treasurer Jon Flynn, Shirley Damon, Secretary Alette Dolan, James Fettig (succeeded by Stanwood Briggs ) ; juniors — Vice president John Stewart, Jack Mills, Edwin Veiga, Barbara Best: sophomores — Kath- leen Manning, Nancy Breen, Betty Murrill: fresh- men — John Cahir, Arthur Dunphy: grade 8 — Edward Stewart; grade 7 — Edgar Locklin. Mr. Froberger and Miss Harrington, the Coun- cil ' s advisers, have ably assisted the group in all its work. At the first meeting Mr. Froberger outlined eight points on which the Council should take action: school spirit, respect for school property, ways to earn money, formation of a Student Association, worthwhile lunch period activity, suitable football rallies, founding of an honor society, class advisers. As is plainly seen, the pattern of council work has closely followed those suggestions. During the year action was taken on many of these points. Rallies were held, and a newspaper was published, both promoting school spirit; programs were sold at one of the football games; a monitor system was installed in the locker rooms; delegates were sent to Stu- dent Council Conventions to see what other schools were doing to combat common problems, and to see if any other helpful suggestions were mentioned; and preparatory plans were made for a Student Association. It is hoped that in subsequent years the Student Council will continue to work on the ideas sug- gested by the Council of 1947-1948. 20 Cfcues BAND First Row: F. Bissell, J. Dwight, J. Taylor, M.

BAND, ORCHESTRA AND GLEE CLUB AT present our band and orchestra consist of twenty-five members and seven drum ma- jorettes, under the skillful direction of Mr. Donald Leach. Both groups are comparatively small, and many more members are needed to make a better band. Let ' s all see if we can ' t enlarge it so that Scituate High will have a band and orchestra to be extra proud of. The first major occurrence in the band schedule was to play for the blind men at the Children ' s Hospital on September 30. 1947. The perform- ance was very much appreciated. In November the Scituate High band played at the traditional Scituate-Cohasset Turkey day game, which was played on home territory. Having the band play added considerably to the excitement. At the Blue and White Varieties. the all- school production which was held in December, the band and orchestra played selections during the short intermissions. The glee club has now grown to the number of ninety-five pupils. It is divided into three groups, the freshman and sophomore girls, the junior and senior girls, and all the high school boys. Miss Gertrude Reynolds is in charge of all three groups. On the last day of school before Christinas holidays, the girls ' glee club sang Christmas carols in the corridors. This was enjoyed by both pupils and teachers. Recently Mrs. Glenn Wilson, a well-known voice instructor, offered a scholarship to a pupil in the glee club, the scholarship to be one year of free voice lessons. From several who tried out for the scholarship. Mrs. Wilson chose Laura Cerilli as the most talented singer. Climes 21 ORCHESTRA FiiisT Row: R. Browne, J. Watts, B. (]ole, S. Cliadhoiirne, L.

NEW ENGLAND MUSIC FESTIVAL 1947 - 1948 Earl Merritt, ' 48 ' I HE New England School Music Festival was held in 1947 at Brattleboro. Vermont on March 19-22. There were present well over five hundred fifty school musicians from all over New England. These were divided into three organiza- tions: namely, the orchestra, of which 1 was a member: the band; and the chorus. The chorus was by far the largest group with about three hundred fifty members. The first three days were divided into three rehearsal periods with lunch and recreation periods in between. These rehearsals, although rather accelerated because of the tremendous anionnt of work to be done in short time, were very enjoyable. The last day there were two con- certs, afternoon and evening, following a rehear- sal in the morning. This year Scituate High was fortunate in hav- ing two delegates to the festival, which was held at South Portland. Maine, in April. Jack Mills of the Junior Class and 1 were accepted. 1 believe that many values are obtained from activities of this kind. One of the most important is learning how to conduct yourself in a large group of students of your own age; others are musical experience, the chance to play in a large group before an audience, and the companionship of students with one interest in coimnon, music 22 KEY CLUB First Row: L.

KEY CLUB Robert Dunphy, ' 48 THE Key Club is an organization of high school boys sponsored by Kiwanis Inter- national. The local Kiwanis Club makes every effort to help us organize and to teach every member of our club rules of friendship and better government. At present the Scituate High School Key Club has eleven members, consisting of Junior and Senior boys who have qualified scholastically. Our president is Ronald Fallon; vice president. Jon Flynn; secretary, Robert Dunphy; and treasurer, Gabriel Jacobucci. The purpose of this club, besides good fellow- ship, is to organize and work in every way pos- sible for the benefit of our school and our com- munity. During the recent basketball season, members of the Key Club were in charge of the sale of tickets at the home games. Our most im- portant contribution to the school so far has been the purchase of a movie camera, which may be used to take pictures of athletic and other events. We have in mind other objectives, such as bleachers, uniforms, and a new field. We hope some day to have every boy in the last two years of Scituate High School a member of our organi- zation. During the year we have received excellent assistance from our principal. Mr. Froberger. 23 DRAMATICS Louise Reddy, ' 48 What ' s What About Dramatics Tlii? ear a new and (lifTcront all-school |)ro- cluclioii was slajied al Scituate High School.

The tender romance and the wisecracks of Roberta helped make the Class of 1948 put forth its best effort in the field of dramatics. 25 EDITORIALS SPIRIT Alette Dolan, ' 48 U A MERICANS are slipping! a friend told l us the other day. We simply shrugged off the remark with the nonchalance of all teen-agers who are told to what horrible ends this younger generation is plummeting. No. our friend went on, it ' s not just you young folks who have lost the right spirit. Everyone seems too concerned with petty, selfish interests today to think about the world situation, his country, or his commun- ity. The greatest initiative anyone seems to take in current affairs lately is to grumble about them. It is doubtful that this idea is entirely true, but it does deserve some thought, especially from us teen-agers. There isn ' t one among us anywhere who is so absorbed in jive, dates, or the new look, that he doesn ' t realize the dark threat that over- shadows our whole democratic form of govern- ment. There is not a rational person in America who is unaware of the dark clouds of communism gathering on the horizon. Some young people don ' t realize, however, that we are the first line of defense against this dread foe. We are the ones who must build a mighty and unassailable bulwark to protect America against this menace — a bulwark of united, determined spirit! The most important lesson school teaches us is the power of spirit or determination. History cites instance after instance. Salient is the exam- ple of the American Revolution. No historian can attribute our victory to anything but spirit — the united resolute spirit of the colonists, pioneers in democracy. Social studies are not unique in demonstrating this power of spirit. The sciences deal entirely with discoveries made through a patient, yet ever-persevering spirit of inquiry. These are lessons we forget too easily, as complacent citizens of this rich and powerful country. Nevertheless, wealth, influence, material goods are inconsequential straws floating in the momentous tidal wave of human spirit. Is our spirit today a surging flood? Or is it a stagnant pool? During the war the thundering waves of American spirit rolled from coast to coast, crashed and foamed high as the heavens. The Star Spangled Banner was sung with lustier voices. With greater fervor we saluted our flag. Churches were crowded with worshipers praying for their loved ones, praying for their country, praying for worldwide democracy and Christianity. Now the cannons are silent, the dead buried, the tears turned to smiles, the heroes returned, but what has become of our spirit? We are woefully near ebb water. We cannot let the tide turn. 26 It is not necessary to hate an enemy to rally spirit. We need only to open our eyes to the great miracle of our citizenship in the United States of America. We are free men. Each of us must take his place in the bulwark protecting the earth from communism. And the mighty roar we hear echoing from the distant future — it is not the fall of another defenseless nation: it is the irrepressible, world-engulfing sea of united, determined spirit. How Can We Increase Understanding Among Peoples? Leland Towle, ' 48 There was never a time, even in the midst of war, when it ivas so necessary to replace prejudice with truth, distortion with balance, and suspicion with understanding. James R. Byrnes Secretary of State 1945-1947 THE problem of replacing prejudice with truth, distortion with balance, and suspicion with understanding throughout the world is a grave one. It probably means the difference be- tween war and peace. War thrives on misunder- standing and suspicion; peace depends on substi- tuting understanding and trust among peoples. The world is building a political framework for peace through the L nited Nations General Assembly and Security Council. It is building an economic framework through several specialized organizations, such as the Food and Agricul- ture Organization. These require a third frame- work for their completion — world cultural coop- eration. Unless men ' s minds are brought to- gether, they cannot cooperate either politically or economically. Our era has given peoples great influence on foreign affairs and has enabled them to speak directly to each other, by radio, travel, press, and films. The present need to bring men ' s minds together is matched by opportunity. If the powers of communication are used rightly, people will become more familiar with each other, and the United Nations will become as indissoluble as the United States. The United Nations Educational. Scientific, and Cultural Organization is the world agency which is concerned with advancing understanding among peoples. This organization is backed by years of experience, reaching as far back as the League of Nations. The purpose of UNESCO is to promote mutual understanding and education for world citizenship based on respect for law and human rights. UNESCO will recommend international agreements to permit the free move- ment of ideas. It will encourage mass communi- cation to further mutual understanding. It will induce popular education, advocating equality of educational opportunity. UNESCO will in- crease and spread knowledge by conserving forms of culture, by encouraging intellectual cooperation, and by making the publications of every country accessible to all. It will keep in touch with and use all other agencies that are in sympathy with its problems. Its purpose is to persuade, not to regulate. It will organize world conferences and may promote international universities. UNESCO is brought into relation with the United Nations through the Economic and Social Council. A Commission on Human Rights has also been set up. which will try to make the four freedoms and the freedom of information international. The United States is taking part in world affairs as never before. For this reason people all over the globe are eager to know more about us. However, our policies and actions will fail if they are misunderstood. People, if not given the real facts, will believe the distorted facts which are given to them by uncooperative countries. Their hopes and fears make them ready victims of false accusations unless they are told the truth. Government agencies are showing the peoples of the world what the United States and its people really are. through press and publications, broad- casting, motion pictures, exchange of persons and libraries and institutes. Understanding can be increased by adding to our knowledge of other countries and by help- ing their citizens to know us better. We can cor- respond with people abroad: — a good way to begin is to reply to some of the letters thanking us for the food packages we have sent. We can read about other countries and introduce dis- cussion of foreign affairs and foreign peoples with friends. These informal contacts will mold public opinion and make the world one. Certain organizations study and discuss inter- national relations, get up conferences and ex- changes, finance education and health service abroad. We can help a great deal by supporting these organizations which are reaching construc- tively across national boundaries. International understanding depends on every one of us. If we resolve not to let our minds be prejudiced and distorted by untruths, we will have already laid the cornerstone for world under- standing and world peace. 27 The Youth of America vs. Coiuniiiuism Shirley Damon, ' 48 WK. the youth of America, are faced with mam grave problems, the most imjjortant, the most terrifying of which is communism. We have been told main times in many ways that we are the future citizens of this natioii and of this world: that it is up to us whether this nation stands or falls; that it is up to us whether this world returns once again to a dark age. or goes on to a brighter, more progressive civilization. If we have never before sensed the meaning of these words, surely now with the world in its chaotic condition, we realize their full signifi- cance. In recent weeks, Russia, without the pretenses and lies used by Hitler in 1938 and 1939, has taken over an immense portion of Europe. Surely, if any of us has had any ideas leaning the slightest bit toward communism, or has thought the communist attitude in any way admirable, he has changed his attitude with haste. We need only to read the recent issues of Life, Time. Newsweek, or other such periodicals, to begin to realize what a cold, terrifying, and unalterable lot these Communists are. The important question of the hour is, Are we ready to stand up against the communist forces? At the moment, I am not referring to the military preparedness of the United States, but rather to the attitude of American youth in the face of communism. We should have our minds barred against the entry of any communistic or social- istic trends. We should follow closely the events of the day, both international and national, so as to foresee coming events and be prepared. We should try to stamp out any communistic or socialistic trends that we see or feel in our fellow- men by pointing out to those persons quietly and logically the great disaster that conmmnism brings upon a nation and its people. Lastly, in order to do the aforementioned, we should study the tactics of the Communists that bring them into power; for in order to fight communism, we must know a bit of the origin, the organs of government, and the goals of the Communist Party. It takes but a few minutes to look up the Connnunist Party in an encyclopedia and to learn of the world domination goal that it has had in mind since World War I. With the facts that can be gathered from ency- clopedias and periodicals and with our fine democratic education, we should be well equipped to fight communism at every front, for it is our duty to protect this nation from communist domination and to help prevent further domina- tion of the world. I ' m prepared to fight com- munism whenever and wherever I can; are you? If we, the youth of America, all pull together to win this battle as we would to win a football game, we shall reach our goal in half the time that it will take if we lie down on the forty-yard line. So let ' s all roll up our sleeves and roll down the field towards our goal of a peaceful, demo- cratic world, while our coaches, our parents, are standing on the sidelines shouting the battle cry. FIGHT. Representative For A Day Jon Flynn, ' 48 Harry G. Hartwell of Mobile, Alabama was defeated in his race for Congressman in the First District. According to his statement filed with the Secretary of State, his expenditure of money was the least of all, as his statement shows: I lost six months and ten days canvassing, lost 1,000 hours sleep worrying over the results of the election, lost 20 pounds of flesh, kissed 500 babies, kindled 100 kitchen fires, put up 10 stoves, cut 11 cords of wood, carried .50 buckets of water, pulled 400 bundles of fodder, walked 1,000 miles, shook hands 20,000 times, talked enough to fill one month ' s issue of the New York World, got dog bit nine times, and then got defeated. I iilike the unfortunate Mr. Hartwell, I was elected, — to represent the second Plymouth District in the General Court as part of a program initiated by the Legislature to acquaint high school students with the organization and im- portance of state government. Good Govern- ment Day, as the program is called, was held on February 20, 1948, at the state capitol in Boston. Representative Nathaniel Tilden. whose place I took in the Legislature, escorted me to the State House, where registration began at nine o ' clock. After I had registered and received full identi- fication cards, luncheon tickets, and necessary information, I was free to do as I pleased until ten o ' clock when a joint session would be held in the House Chamber. I decided to use my free time looking over the State House. After riding up and down in an elevator and taking directions from the operator several times, I made my way into the beautiful Hall of Flags. After I had enjoyed the splendor 28 of the Hall. I began looking for the House Cham- ber. I found it without too much difficulty I by following the crowd I and took my seat in the first section of the Chamber. I had been selected to serve on a committee of fifteen senators and representatives whose duty was to escort their Excellencies Governor Bradford and Governor Nichols into the joint session. After returning to our seats, we heard addresses from both Governors, Speaker of the House Willis, and Senator Sumner Whittier, who was responsible for the bill which made Good Government Day a law. At 10:30 the Committee on Ways and Means met to consider Governor Bradford ' s Budget Recommendations for the fiscal year 1949 begin- ning July 1, 1948 and ending June 30, 1949. As a member of that committee, I joined in the dis- cussion concerning various appropriations for such services as the Highway Fund and the Port of Boston Authority. Committee hearings were held at 11:00 o ' clock to discuss the bills which were to be taken up in the Legislature in the afternoon. I attended the hearing which dealt with House Bill No. 3 Resolutions memorializing Congress in opposi- tion to universal military training. After hear- ing the pros and cons of the important issue, the committee voted 9 to 6 against the bill. We dined at the Boston City Club in true governmental style. After the completion of our meal, we returned to the capitol to take up the burning issues of the day. The students took over the Governor ' s office, the various departments of government, and the Senate with dignity, decorum and delight, to say nothing of intense interest. However, the de- corum was lacking in the House where the largest number gathered, and where the going was the roughest. The interest was burning, and we representatives had strong opinions on uni- versal military training and wanted to express them. It was a scrappy group of parliamentarians that faced House Speaker Miss Patricia Daly of Lowell. She proved quite capable of pounding us into submission, forcing a vote on L . M. T., and then railroading through an adjournment. To bring the whole affair off with some semblance of order, she finall) had to throw over her advisers. Speaker Frederick B. Willis and House Clerk Lawrence R. Grove. She also had to ignore a parliamentary nicety and handle the whole affair like a woman — in her own way. The resolution sought to memorialize Congress against universal military training. Thus, if one voted for the resolution it meant that he was against universal military training, and if one voted against the resolution it meant that he was in favor of universal military training. The con- fusion was infectious. Throughout the afternoon. Miss Daly ruled the rambunctious, raucous but deadly eager and serious students as we sought, almost without exception, to get the floor. Finally as the clock reached 4:30 p.m. the question on the resolution was put to us. We voted in favor of the resolution against military training. Madam Speaker, one young man yelled, leaping to his feet, we don ' t even know what ' s going on ! It was decided to hold the vote over. Then the trouble began. If you favor military train- ing, you will vote for the resolution, Miss Daly began. There was a roar of protests. She called a recess. Mr. Grove, the clerk of the House of Representatives, stepped up and took the micro- phone. He explained very carefully that this was a negative resolution, and that we had to be careful. We listened attentively. Mr. Grove then proceeded to get mixed up. There was more noise. Miss Daly took command. She called the House to order and said loud and clear into the micro- phone, Everyone in favor of military training stand. There were some protests. Speaker Willis started to step forward to explain that she wasn ' t taking a vote on the resolution. But he saw that Miss Daly was determined on a course of action and was not to be crossed. The shouts persisted from the floor. We stood and were counted. We had voted for the bill by 137 to 86. I voted with the majority. Some faintl) tried to challenge the vote on the question of parliamentary procedure. It is too late to challenge the vote, Miss Daly declared, and pounded for order. Somebody shouted for a motion for adjourn- ment. Miss Daly caught it among the other shouts, called it to the attention of the House, called for a vote, declared that the ayes had it, — and the session was over. Never had the house been filled with so many legislators, nor so many spectators. The press gallery was packed. Some state representatives had strung out along the walls to coach the stu- dents: others just to observe. The entire program was sponsored by the Massachusetts Civic League and financed b the Moses Kimball Fund for the Promotion of Good Citizenship. Continued on page 36 29 WEBS Josephine Miles, ' 48 All lhat was ugly and grim about the city was so altered by the falling mist that everything around her took on the exciting, enchanting (jualities of a mystery . . . She lifted her face unresistingly to the falling rain as if searching there for some answer to the wild, surging joy she experienced in the sudden freshness of the moment. She felt that she must know how the parched earth feels with the first spat- tering of rain on its face ... its thirst hardly quenched by the little drops, aching, craving, for more. She knew what it must be like to gaze from the bottom of a pool through the rain-drops dotting its surface, into the rainbow above . . . for the silver drops fell into her unclosed eyes, splashing against her eyeballs and sending the images of little lights afloat, as if the tears of heaven had come down and replaced her own. Lights sent sparkling paths across the pave- ment. Black rivers were flowing everywhere, and across them the paths of a hundred moons lighted her way home. Light on the cobblestones made a shining web, as if some monstrous spider had spun the wretched alleys with pure silver . . . Fresh, and washed clean, breathing the mys- terious dew of night, she made her way through the labyrinth of alleys, and then, turning abruptly, fled up the stairs of her dank, foul apartment . . . The Old Cape Codder Stanwood Briggs, ' 48 I met him just as he was climbing into his skiff. It was early morning and the sand was cold and damp from the night. Wait a minute! I called as I ran over to him. He stopped and looked up at me. What can I do for yuh? he asked, wiping his nose with a big red bandanna. With one glance of his keen blue eyes, he appraised me. For my part I saw a tall, slightly-stooped old man, perhaps sixty-five or seventy years old. He wore an old flannel shirt and faded blue over- alls. He had on old tattered rubber boots and a long-visored fishing cap. Would you hire me for a couple of weeks? I asked him. I want to learn how to fish. All depends, he replied, a twinkle in his eye. Depends on what? I asked feeling helpless. On whether or not you are a cap ' ble seaman. The town that 1 come from is on the ocean and 1 own a skiff there, I replied, anxious to make a good impression on the old man. I ' ll give you a chance today. Climb aboard and shove off, he said and lit his pipe. I jumped into the stern and i ushed off. The old man rowed. My name is Joe Basset, I offered by way of conversation. Mine ' s Bob Nickerson, he replied. We rowed to the fishing boat in silence, my companion puffing on his old battered pipe and 1 watching the gulls overhead. The fishing boat was just like the owner, old but neat and clean. 1 watched while he got the old model-A engine running. Cast off the bow line! he shouted above the unmuffled roar of the engine. 1 hastened to obey, and soon we were chugging down toward open ocean. Can you take the helm? I have some hooks to bait, he suddenly demanded. Sure, I answered, glad of a chance to prove my worth to the skeptical old man. Keep ' er to the starboard. 1 did as I was commanded. Not so far over, he shouted. Do you want to run us aground? So it was all day. I never did anything right. At least nothing was right as far as he was con- cerned. Take the matter of pulling the trolls. First I ran the boat too fast and then too slow. He shouted at me constantly in his funny Cape Cod drawl. I was afraid he would not hire me. On the way to the dock he was silent. I didn ' t know what to do or say, so I just sat. Although I had made many mistakes, 1 loved the sea and wanted a chance to make good at my first real job. 1 wanted to tell him just how much the job would mean to me. but the words wouldn ' t come. There were several men loafing on the pier as we came in. As we tied, the old man took his pipe out of his mouth, spat with accuracy on an old piling and then cleared his throat. Boys, he drawled, I want you to meet my new crew member. Wh at ' s your name again? Joe Basset, I choked out and my eyes filled with tears. I tried to thank him. but all he said was to unload them fish. 30 Stars Brooke Durant, ' 48 Did vou ever lie on your back and gaze up on high. Toward the bright heavenly bodies far up in the sky. And wonder how large the speck may be That ' s shining down at you and me? Have you looked at one star with its endless glimmer To wonder why its rays shine and shimmer? Did you ever wonder if these dots bear life? Whether people there have hardships and strife? Or if from these dots life be extinct How to the universe is our earth linked? And then a white snake is made by a star, — The number of miles is just how far? Then what of this celestial sphere? The thought of it may turn to fear. As you think what ' s beyond the stars in the sky. The thoughts are endless of the Powers on high. My Most Unforgettable Characters Alette Dolan, ' 48 I ' ve met a lot of characters in my life, people that have made me laugh or weep, or that have moved me to pity or disgust. But 1 shall forget many of them. The only real people in the world, those whose character you can never forget, are children. Only during childhood is the true personality of an individual evident. After years of hearing, People won ' t like you if you do that, dear . . . Nice little boys don ' t say such things . . . Please show your best manners at Sunday School, and all the parental admonitions that go with a good bringing up, nearly all of us are worn down to the same pattern. That is why unforgettable characters are so rare among adults that when one is finally discovered, his admirers go to great lengths publicizing him. Of course, the sobering phenomenon that accompanies growing older is necessary. The salt of the earth would certainly lose its flavor if we all retained the marvelously uninhibited tem- peraments of our childhood. But if ) ou ever decide that life is dull and humans are duller, run out and really get acquainted with those little people playing in your back yard. The first time that I was confronted with a large group of children, I was not aware of each little individualist and the remarkable manner- isms that were his. and his alone. 1 was more occupied with exhibiting my new dress, and my new haircut, and my patent leathers, which were surely worthy of such a great event as my first day in the first grade. But even during that year and the succeeding ones, before I learned to appreciate children, there loomed an unfor- gettable. I can see Tommy now. his face covered with freckles, where )ou could see through the dirt, and topped by a tangle of brown hair which was badly in need of cutting. He wore a pair of grey corduroy knickers that bagged nearly to his ankles, bought with room to grow into them. He sloshed along in a mud puddle, happily dis- daining the sidewalk, stooping now and then to pick up a wriggling angle worm and pop it into his pocket. Here was a 1936 Tom Sawyer. I ' d call him a real American boy, but the teachers and the good mothers of the neighborhood had other names for him. Tommy loved to collect things, and never seemed to be without a mouse, a snake or a toad in his pocket. Somehow he never caught the usual childhood diseases. He bothered only with small pox. And once he broke his leg by scaling a six-foot wooden fence and landing twenty-six feet below on the other side, in a newly-excavated cellar. When we were in the sixth grade. Tommy got a new bike for his birthday. 1 never saw him again, for I moved awav two weeks later and Tommy was in the hospital at the time. He ' d had a little accident with his bike. People talk about children being frightened by their teachers. I was thirteen when I first attempted teaching Sunday School, and I was never so terrified in my life. At this point another character whom I shall not soon forget reared his impish little head. He announced that his name was Sherbie, and would I please tell him how to spell antidisestablishmentarianism ? While 1 nervously sought to regain my com- posure. Sherbie regaled the class with the latest moron stories. He had electric brown eyes, and an amusingly short brush of straight black hair. While most second graders were content to chant Ohh aaah oooh , Sherbie sang his hymns like a man. He loudly caroled, Bring forth the royal diaphragm, and crown Him Lord of all. I ' ve never seen anyone more naturalh alert than Sherbie. He seldom missed an opportunity to display his wit. Once he was sent to get a large manila envelope for our collection money. He returned with a small pink one. They didn ' t have any manila, he apologized. So I got strawberry. Perhaps the thought of a teen-ager writing about children amuses you as much as Joan amused me this evening. I was reminding her how she used to say her ABC ' s — ABCDEFG. HIJKLMN. OP. QRS. and TUV. WHDH. Bos- ton! Joan laughed. I used to be funny when I was a little girl, huh. Let? Joan is three now. 31 Thinking Elizahclh Classic, 7 A I uish 1 could tliiiik of what rhymes with Chimes Of course there are words Hke climbs and limes. But my poem would be of no consequence If I wrote down words that made no sense; I wish 1 could think of words and rhymes So I could write a poem for the Chimes. Adventures on The High Seas Betty Murrill, ' 50 The southwest wind leisurely moved the dirty, gray sail. Slowly the sun sank in a blaze of crim- son glorv below the water as, one by one, the clouds drifted across the sky, seeking a haven for the night. In the stern of the cat boat, the rhythmic flap-flap of the water could be heard as the waves beat against the bow. Jeremiah Thompson, an old salt of the life begins at eighty group. opened his water canteen and took a mouthful. Well I ' m not as sickly and delicate as they say, he thought. He did not no- tice that the current had pulled him far out to sea. His only thoughts were that he had outsmarted his sons. Old and sickly! Hmp! He ' d show ' em — wasn ' t a man round about who could beat him in a cat boat race. « « ■;!■ Meanwhile the schooner, Alhambra, carrying tea and silk from the far-off Orient, slowly moved along. On deck, groups of about ten dark-skinned natives pulled at their oars, always mindful of the thick iron chains that bound them to their places. The heat was blistering even though the sun had disappeared from sight. Overlooking the slaves. Captain Ranson stood with a troubled look on his brow and a horsehide whip in his hand. On the upper deck were many cabins. One such cabin was filled with a haze from an incense pot which stood on an ornately-carved table. Beaded curtains hung limp against the portholes. Blending in with her surroundings, a beautiful girl sat combing her dark hair into rich waves. With a flip of her wrist she tucked a pearl-studded comb into her hair. Outside Captain Ranson paced the deck. They were in pirate waters now. and with the cargo they were carrying, anything could happen. Seeing an outline against the horizon, he took his spyglass and looked. It was a ship, and it was flying the Jolly Roger . Rapidly the ship approached and drew along side the Alhniubru. (iuns roared and cutlasses flashed. All this time old Mr. Thompson sat stumied and uidielieving. It wasn ' t possible — a pirate ship fighting with a schooner in 1948. Pirates, meanwhile, chunbered on board the Alhambra. Some fought with the crew of the shij) while others started unloading the cargo. Sud- denly a woman screamed as she was pushed over the side from the up[)er deck. At this point Jeremiah Thompson passed out. When he came to, it was morning and the sea was placid. For a while he remembered nothing and then it all came back to him — the battle and the woman screaming as she fell. My mind nmst have cracked! The sun was too much for me, he thought. However, glancing down, he saw something unusual. No, it couldn ' t be! But it was — a pearl-studded comb such as would be worn by a young woman of the 17()0 ' s. Then he remem- bered. As the woman fell, something white had flashed m the air. When he reached home and told his story, no one believed him. He must have dreamed it. But yet t he comb! How did it get there? That night Jeremiah Thompson died. The doctor said that the excitement had been too much for his heart. Two days later an article appeared in the Craigville Times saying that scenes for the new movie, Piracy on the High Seas , were being taken six miles out from the harbor of Craigville. Jeremiah had seen Hollywood in action. Beautiful and Not Dumb Janet Allen, ' 48 I remember well the first day I met her. The country was resplendent in its autumn foliage. On a knoll at my left stood a clump of beeches, their leaves a golden shower. To the right grew scarlet sumac massed about a slender white birch, and in the distance I could see a purple hill sil- houetted against a curtain of rich blue sky. It was a special sort of day. She stood in front of me partly concealed by tall grass. She was so small she could only utter little whimpers, but she was trying very hard to talk and tell me all her troubles. She liked me . . . and I liked her; that ' s all that really counted. At first I fed her with a teaspoon, but she ' s a big girl now and eats everything in sight with- out help from me. When she hears the refrigera- tor door open and close, she thinks it is her cue 32 lo eat. She loves raw carrots, celery, cabbage and lettuce. I think she enjoys the crunching noise she creates when she eats crisp things. Actually, she eats anything edible. She reminds me of the dog mentioned in the advertisement, Dog for Sale. Will eat anything. Very fond of children. So now you know, even if you didn ' t guess before, that this is a character sketch of my little black and while cocker spaniel. Dottie. alias Saturday Evening Post Dog. Undoubtedly you have seen the cover of the Saturday Evening Post when the little dog has appeared, caught in some act of mischief. The first few weeks after Dottie cam? to live with us were times of tattered slippers, tipped- over wastepaper baskets, bed spreads covered with dirty little foot prints, and all the rest of the signs of a puppy in the house. Rut we didn ' t mind, — not even the time she chewed the bubble gum and got it so badly matted in her fur that she had to have a haircut. I ' nfortunately. we couldn ' t trim the rug. We just scrubbed it hard, and thought about how funny she had looked frantically stringing that gum between her two front paws. 1 remember the morning I came down to break- fast and started to squeeze some oranges for myself. In a second. Dottie was at my feet ask- ing for just a little taste. She asked in her usual way, a short sharp bark. So 1 gave her one piece just to keep her quiet. Have you ever heard of a dog eating oranges? Well, I hadn ' t. 1 turned my Isack on her and continued to cut oranges. In the background I could hear a contented slup! slup! slup! It definitely was not restrained and not at all lady-like. It just couldn ' t be Dottie. Quietly 1 turned around and looked, and sure enough, big as life. Dottie was enjoying her sec- tion of breakfast orange, eating just as a human being would eat it. holding it between her fore- paws. After many trials and tribulations. I succeeded in teaching Dottie to sit up. I placed her in the corner of the living room for the first step, and pushed her up on her haunches, repeating the command. Up. Dottie, up. But her tail slipped from under her and down she went. She looked so ridiculous sprawled out on the floor that I just had to laugh at her. When I straightened up. she was gone. I had hurt her pride laughing at her. She left me sitting in the middle of the floor. I turned just in time to see her peeking around the doorframe to see what I would do next. I coaxed her out, and after a long struggle she managed to lean into the corner with her fore- paws up in a begging position. After that first lesson, her education progressed more rapidly. But one lesson she learned by her- s:lf. It all started one day when my mother removed a shelf from the hot stove to make room for the roast. Mother put the shelf on the floor and went to answer the telephone. Suddenly Dottie began to bark with such frenzy that we all ran to the kitchen. The floor was smoking from the hot grate, and Dottie was dancing around barking like mad. We all petted her and called her a smart dog. and she was certainly ver proud of her performance. From then on. Dottie was official fire-fighter around the house. I nsuspecting guests, striking matches to light cigarettes, found themselves sitting foolishly with a smoking match in their hands. Dottie put them out with her paws. We always had to put a screen in front of the fireplace to keep Dottie from putting out the fire. It was an obsession with her. Any cigarette butt snapped into the grass was immediately extinguished by those busy little paws. Alas, it all came to an abrupt end one afternoon when a smart ) oung man thrust a flam- ing match too close to her nose. She was badly burned, and will have nothing further to do with fire. I think the house could burn down, and she would sit by and stare at it coldly. Dottie is quite different from any other dog we have ever had. But then, whv shouldn ' t she be; dogs are like human beings. Each is an individual with his own unique personality. Dottie has a clump of curls that stand on end everv time the front door bell rings. Her eyes are a soft, melting brown color and always have a pleadingly-innocent look, especially when there is a broken potted geranium on the floor. Her little feet look like old-fashioned rocker skates, and they flop up and down when she trots. Have you ever seen Dumbo, the Elephant? Well, Dottie looks just like Dumbo when she runs, ears flopping, and some day I expect she will take right off into the wild blue yonder. People who believe that dogs are just dumb animals are missing something special in life. They are missing a companionship and under- standing that would survive under any circum- stance. It has been proved that dogs have more common sense than some human beings. March Winds Robert Rodrick, 7B March winds blow. oh. so strong! Turn the corner, don ' t stop long! Hold your hat on very tight! And run. run. with all your might! 33 Pcfjgy ' s Sacrifice Josephine Foniri, ' 50 Peggy went running gaily up llie front steps. Anyone home? she cried. Just me. said Mrs. Drew. What are you so excited about? Oh, Mother, the girls are going to let me join the cluh. Isn ' t that wonderful? I ' ve waited so long, and now I ' m almost in it. Peggy said. Is that all? 1 thought something really im- portant had happened. was Mrs. Drew ' s uninter- ested reply. Mother how can you use such an uninterested tone of voice? Peggy said. Calm down, dear. Run upstairs and get ready for dinner. said Mrs. Drew. Peggy ran happily up the stairs to wash and dress for dimier. She was a lovely teen-age girl whom everyone liked because of her sunny dis- position and friendliness. She heard her father come in a few minutes later and ran down to meet him. Daddy, did Mom tell you I ' m joining the girl ' s club? said Peggy. That ' s nice, was Mr. Drew ' s indifferent reply. Oh. groaned Peggy, you people simply aggravate me. Don ' t you realize that only the really exclusive girls belong? Now that I ' m finally practically in the club, do you people show some pleasure? No! All you can say is. ' That ' s nice . Mr. and Mrs. Drew both laughed at Peggy ' s dismayed voice. They were sitting around the dinner table listening to Peggy as she chatted on and on about her club and various school activities. A while later Mr. Drew said, A new family has just moved into town. They live a few blocks down the street. They have a daughter who is just Peg ' s age. I hope you ' ll make friends with her. Peg. Of course I will. Dad. said Peggy. I ' ll even try to get her into the club. The next dav on her way to school Peggy met the new girl. The girl, whose name was Rebecca Goldman, was very attractive. The girls became good friends and walked together towards the bus stop. I ' ll try to get you into the club I am about to join. The club is very nice and they have parties and other types of activities. said Peggy. ' Oh, that will be nice. I do hope the other girls like me, ' was Rebecca ' s serious reply. I ' m sure they will. replied Peggy. Come on. here comes the school Iius. After school was out, Peggy ran to meet lier girl friends. She noticed that Rebecca stood alone so she called to her, Rebecca, come over. I want you to meet some of the girls. Peggy really didn ' t know what happened, but the girls gave her one look and walked away with just a goodbye to Peggy. Rebecca said, Why didn ' t your friends want to meet me? Of course they wanted to meet you, Rebecca, but they had some important things to do. Come on, said Peggy, let ' s go have a soda. When Peggy got home, she was still wondering about what had happened. She was going to the club meeting that night and she could ask the girls then if Rebecca could join. Naturally they would say yes. That night at the dinner table Mr. Drew said. I was just reading in the paper about some people in this country who are against other races. Peggy was horrified and said. I ' m glad that in this town there aren ' t people who would hold a person ' s birthplace against him. You may be mistaken, dear. Even some of your friends may be like that. But, Peg, I want you to always remember that ' all men are created equal ' , said Mr. Drew. Peggy laughed and said, My friends certainly aren ' t like that. At the club meeting the girls chatted on gaily. Finally Peggy said, Why don ' t we let the new girl. Rebecca Goldman, join? She ' s really a swell girl. Some of the girls looked horrified. How can you even suggest such a thing? She ' s a Jew. It ' s simply out of the question to let her join, said the leader of the club. Peggy couldn ' t believe her ears. Her friends wouldn ' t say such things! Her own dear friends were the people her father was talking about. She said angrily, What ' s wrong with being a Jew? She ' s just as good as any of us in this room. How dare )ou even insinuate that she ' s not as good as we are? If it weren ' t for the mixed races in this country we wouldn ' t be the great nation we are today. Do you girls realize that many of us girls in this room may be of different descent? I ' m quitting this club. I wouldn ' t feel happy about belonging to a club where the girls disliked the different races of people. Peggy ran home and burst into tears. When her mother and father asked why she was crving, Peggy told them the whole story. Never before had Peggy seen such love and pride in her par- 34 ents ' faces as when they looked at her. They asiured her that everything would turn out all right. Rebecca tried very hard to win the friendship of the other girls. She was a very good student and got good marks. She joined the sports teams and became an outstanding player. Peggy tried hard to be happy, but she just couldn ' t. Before she had always been so happy with her friends and different school activities. Of course she had done right in telling the girls what she thought, but now thinking back she wondered if she should have said those things to the girls. One day Peggy ' s girl friends came over. Peggy asked, ' ' What do you girls want? The girls replied. We ' ve come over to apolo- gize. We realize now that you were right. Rebecca is really a swell girl. We want you both to come and join the club. Peggy was so happy! Of course she would join. The girls then went to get Rebecca and tell her the good news. Mrs. Drew watched them go. She smiled and returned to her household tasks. The Last of the Belle David Coombs, ' 48 Three days out of port was the fishing boat Belle Beginning a story her crew cannot tell. The sea was calm on that mid-winter ' s morning. It means nothing but trouble. was the stern skipper ' s warning. The mercury fell and the wind did rise: And the hard driving hail blinded his eyes. The crew down below who were safe in their berth Could hear roaring on deck like beach and the surf. The helmsman held true to his course as was told; The skipper behind him his orders would scold. Soon ice began forming on the rail and the deck Which the crew vainly tried to keep in check. Her hull was of steel, and was just newly formed. And would hold against any sea in a storm. But the spray formed new ice which could not be removed: Then an order to port which the men all approved. Two days and two nights the crew battled the blast. The ship it was clothed in a white icy cast. The seas now grew higher than ever before: The skipper replied. We can ' t take much more. As dawn of the third day broke into view. Nothing was seen of the Belle and her crew. Her topsides were laden with new ice that night. She floundered and wallowed then gave uj) the fight. Spring Joan McEleney, 7B Hear the March winds blow As o ' er the meadows they go! The tell the world that spring is here, And that the summer also is near. Memories Louise Reddy, ' 48 As m alarm clock shrilled out its harsh note. I groaned and turned over to shut it off. Sud- denly, I became wide awake and realized that it was now or never. Cautiousl) I inched one foot out of bed. My eyes closed again, but will-power got the best of me. 1 scrambled out of bed. try- ing not to wake the rest of the house. Whose crazy idea was this, anyway, 1 mused to my- self, getting up at half-past three in the morning, just to go out fishing. 1 dressed in the dark and made my way toward the kitchen. ])raying that the dog wouldn t start to bark. Finally I succeeded in opening the door to the kitchen and finding m way to the wall- switch, and the room flooded with light. I peered out the kitchen window and found that the stars were still shining. The wind was not blowing ( iy hard, and it looked as if it might be a good da . But — who can tell at three-thirtv in the morning? 1 drew some water and put the teakettle on. At least 1 could have something hot to drink before I left. I silently opened the cupboard door and looked for some cookies to take with me. In m haste to leave my room 1 had forgotten my ru liber boots, so 1 had to steal back and get them. At last. I was ready to drink m cup of tea. I silently pleaded. Please make him a little late. This is awfully hot. And so. I gulped furtively at my hot tea and munched on some cookies. My ears were alert for every sound, straining to hear the roar of the old Buick ' s motor. All of a sudden as 1 heard it. I made a grab for the dog. Don ' t you dare bark. 1 whispered to him in a menacing tone. Alas, it was of no avail, he did just the same. I took my yellow slicker off its hook and ran out of the house, taking care to close the door quieth behind me. Not a soul was stirring as we sped quickly through the two towns to the harbor. But. oh what a surprise! The harbor bustled with activ- ity. Men elled hellos. and the roar of engines filled tlip air. Little lights, the guide lights on lop of the boats, started blinking e er)where. Carr)ing two gasoline cans, bushel baskets and 35 other odds and rnds. wo made our way down the steep ramp, for it was dead-low tide. There on the dock stood Bill and Jim. each looking half- asleep. Oh. we were going to have company this morning. We rowed out to the white hoat. which was riding majestically at anchor. She looked almost like a ghost as she loomed up at us through th( darkness. Far-away. 1 heard the town-clock striking four. After a brief struggle with the motor (each boy took his turn cranking), we cast off and began steering our way out of the harbor. This was my job. We wove in and around the boats K ing at anchor, and they bobbed and rocked as the waves from our path hit them. The beacon light shone steadily, and soon I was out in the channel, trying to line-up can-buoys and the winking lights. I headed straight out to sea. using Minot ' s as a beacon. Then I turned and went up the coast toward Nantasket, but still heading out to sea. We were going to pull the Black Rock string first, so as we neared the ledges. I gladly gave up my job as skipper to someone who knew the ledges and rocks better than I did. By this time, dawn had begun to break and I could sit on the bow and watch the varied lights as they rose from the horizon. Each star flickered and winked as if to say good-night and then faded out to the bright light of the sun. There it was — a bright, rosy-red ball sticking its head up over the dark, blue ocean. Every time I watched a sunrise, it gave me the same thrill. I wanted to stand-up. and sing and shout and tell everyone how wonderful it was to be alive and free. The sun rose higher and higher, and gradually we began to shed our heavy sweaters and slickers to enjoy its warmth. 1 sat on the engine-box. and measured and pegged the lobsters as they were handed to me. This was easy and lots of fun. I could sit back and enjoy myself while everyone else worked, that is. almost everyone else. We pulled the last lobster-pot and started the long trek back to the harbor. 1 was put on the job as skipper again, but I didn ' t mind, for I ' d rather do that than clean-up the boat. All the way into the harbor, there was a neat procession of white boats. The people from the yachts and sail-boats called and waved as we went by. Many of the people in the house border- ing the channel were swimming and they, too, called to us. We docked the boat at its mooring and col- lected the things to take ashore, the gas cans, the baskets of lobsters, the heavy clothes: and then, we all climbed into the dory and rowed to the landing. A craz idea? As I sat on the steps in the sunshiiK- and r -( allc(l the events of the morning, the beautiful sunrise, the swift white boats busy about their work, the friendly people that we greeted at the harbor, I mused to myself, I guess I II go again tomorrow. Alaskan Pioneer Paul Avery, ' 48 When I read the thermometer outside the An- chorage Hotel, I could hardly believe my eyes. It read 90° above. I casually remarked to an elderly man standing beside the door, that 1 thought Alaska was a cold country. He said he had seen the thermometer read 95° above and 57° below zero. His name was Herman Gelch. He wasn ' t very tall, only about five foot six or seven. He was seventy-two years old, and had been in Alaska for fifty years. He was dressed in a blue pin- striped suit and a ten gallon hat. but his ruddy weather-beaten face made him look as if he had lived out-of-doors all his life. Across his vest stretched a watch chain made out of gold nuggets that he had mined himself. They were valued at fifteen hundred dollars. Slowly 1 drew his life story out of him. This is what he told me. His full name was Herman Francis Gelch. He was born in 1876, the youngest son of five children. He was raised on a farm in Nebraska, but he didn ' t like farming so he left home at the age of seventeen to go to the city and find work. After knocking around the country for a few years, he finally landed in San Francisco and got a job on the docks as a stevedore. He decided to stay on this job and save his money for a trip home. For two years he worked and saved, ' til one night, while unloading a ship from Seward, he heard some sailors talking about Alaska. Right then he decided he had to go and see Alaska. He arrived in Seward on his twenty-second birthday and found a job as a busboy in a saloon, sometimes making as much as fifty dollars a night. Soon tiring of rustling dishes, he went to work driving the dog-sled which took the mail into the interior. After four years, he gave up driving the mail and started prospecting. Beaver, near Fort Yukon, was the site of his first strike. He mined gold steadily for three years, coming into civilization only in the fall for supplies and to bank his gold dust. The only food he could keep was canned goods and flour. He had to rely on nature and his gun for any meat he had. During the cruel winters he had to endure many hardships, when the 36 thermometer hovered forty or fifty degrees below zero. UnHke most prospectors, he saved his money. The reason for this, he told me. was that he had to work so hard to get it. During the winter he would build a fire, out of branches, over the spot he was going to excavate, then with pick and shovel dig as much gravel as he could before the ground froze again. He would do this all winter long heaping the gravel in piles near the river. In the spring, when the river thawed out. he would pan the gold out of the gravel piles. After three years of this, he had saved a small fortune. He then sold his claim to a northwestern mining company and came back to Anchorage to settle down. Unable to stay idle for very long, he became general construction foreman on the Alaskan Railway Company, which is controlled by the Department of Interior of the United States Government. He held this job for twenty ) ears. Today he is retired and lives in the Anchorage Hotel. He gets a pension from the United States Government in addition to his own savings. Periodically, he visits the States but is always in a hurry to get back to Alaska for fear of dying in the I nited States. He said he wants to die in Alaska, the country he loves and helped to pioneer. Representative For A Day Continued from page 28 I wish to thank the Massachusetts Civic League and the various officials and legislators who co- operated with youth to bring about this novel session. I also wish to extend my sincerest appre- ciation to my fellow students whose support enabled me to attend this memorable occasion. — an occasion which convinced me that politics and government, at their best, are among the worthiest pursuits of good citizens. We may be sure that our voutli will be made better in the future through practical training in citizenship. Sternfelt walked into a pet shop. I want to buy a good watchdog. I live way out at Mungo ' s Corner and 1 hate to leave my mother unprotected while 1 m away at school. ' T have just the dog for you! — A pinscer, ' exclaimed the dealer. Oh, not for me. thanks, countered Sternfelt. 1 don ' t want a dog that pinches: I want a dog Speaking of doctors, why does Earl Merritt cat thirty- watt bulbs for lunch? Because the doctor put him on a light diet, that bites. The Explorations of Dr. Small His Experiences in America Peter Bennett, ' 51 The crew on the ship, on which he was cross- ing the Atlantic, sighted shore first: and when the captain yelled, ' Shore sighted. ' everybody, in- cluding Dr. Small, went up on deck. All Dr. Small could see was a burned-up land. He won- dered how a fire could burn down a big country like this. Every other explorer thought a fire started up in the mountains had set the country on fire. Dr. Small, along with his helpers Pete and Mike, landed on a shore which had a little bit of plant life on. They then set to work to try to find traces of the lost civilization. All of a sudden. Mike popped up saying, ' ' Look, what I found! What is it? questioned Pete. Dr. Small said, Let ' s open it and see what ' s inside. So they looked inside a faded comic book which had been found hidden under a rock, and saw Captain Marvel flying through air in a pic- ture; another saw somebody killing another person; and Dr. Small found in another picture animals speaking. My ! What a queer world that must have been ! said Mike. Boy! ou wouldn ' t be safe around there with people everywhere ready to kill you! exclaimed Pete. Animals talking! That ' s the last straw! shouted Dr. Small. Let ' s see if we can find anything else. said Pete. Boy! Look at this picture! snapped Mike. Somebody ' s hitting somebody else, ex- claimed Dr. Small. Then they looked around to see if they could find anything else. The) dug up tree stumps and everything else around. Then they found a calendar, full of bathing beauties. Boy! They didn ' t wear much: did they, said Mike. Then ihey left the place where they had been exploring and went back to their native country. When they got home Dr. Small said that people who lived in the l_ nited States must have been a queer race of people, but Pete said that he would ha e liked to live in the L nited States. So. 1 guess we are a queer race of people, but I don t mind, do ) ou? 38 CHEER LEADERS F. Dyer. P. Goddard, P. Mitchell, M. Peirce, . Goddard, D. McPlier -on. J. Tobin. HOCKEY Patsy Goddard, ' 49, Giniiy Day, ' 49 Ol R first hockey game was at Cohasset on a cool fall day. The girls played a very fast and thrill-packed game, coming out on top 1-0. In our re-match we were defeated by a much- improved Cohasset team, losing by 2-0. In our first home game with Hingham. although our team was outclassed, we fought gallantly while losing 2-1. Our next game with Hingham proved to be the best of the hockey season. The cold and frosty day sparked the team to pull an upset. During the first half, three goals were made against the highly-vaunted Hingham eleven, while we held them to one score. Hingham scored the lone goal in the second period, making the final score 3-2. Hanover seemed to hold a jinx over us all the season, defeating us 1-0 and 3-1. The last game of the season was with Braintree. An exciting first half ended in a draw, and despite our attempts to break the tie in our favor. Brain- tree succeeded in driving in one goal just before the whistle ending the game, was blown by the referee. S. H. S. is very proud of the fine school spirit which was shown by the hockey team throughout the season. The girls who made the varsity are as follows: M. Macy. J. Miles. J. Prouty, L. R eddy (mana- ger I . F. Bissell. N. Breen. M. Chase. V. Day, H. Dowd. M. Dowd, K. Manning, S. Mongeau, D. Parker, and M. Roy. J. Allen. S. Chadbourne. B. Cole, C. Ross, J.

There goes another basket! Thus did our basketball season begin. Jean Proutv, our peppy captain, was once again high scorer, leading with 104 points. The rest of the fighting forwards followed close behind. We cannot give enough credit to the guards: Jean Tobin. who alwa s kept her eagle eye on the left forwards: Mary Noble, who did not move her shoulders even an inch to let the right for- wards get b) ; and Kathy Manning who never got huffy, while taking over center position. Our long-legged Ann Robischeau and calm, quiet Jannie Allen were the undaunted substitutes. The girls who ina be seen wearing their first- team letters are as follows: J. Allen P. Go ldard J. Tobin . Goddard S. Mongeau N. Breen M. Noble D. Parker M. Chase J. Prouty I. Pratt K. Manning A. Robischeau L Roy M. Noi)le J. Keyes. Manager B. Best, Assistant Manager N.

Everyone agrees that Miss Riggs, our new coach, deserves all the credit that can possibly be given to her. We must also mention the effi- cient work of Jane Key es. our manager, and her assistants. Barbara Best and Nancy Gilley. Add all the preceding facts together and the answer will show that the 1948 basketball season was exceedingly pleasant and enjoyable to all who participated in this sport. The scores of the games were as follows: Scituate 12 Norwell 17 Scitiiate 17 Cohasset 31 Scituate 28 Pembroke 21 Scituate 2.5 Hanover 16 Scituate 20 Duxbury 18 Scituate 20 Marshfield 27 Scituate 23 Cohasset 30 Scituate 21 Norwell 7 Scituate 26 Kingston 6 Scituate 42 Hanover 20 235 193 An interview with Miss Riggs. our enthusiastic coach, confirmed our opinion that you can surely expect to see an up-and-coming team in the next few years. Miss Riggs is also training the lower grades in the techniques of basketball. So. CHAMPIONSHIP, here we come! 41 FOOTBALL First Row C Malion, H. Welch, M. Snow, R. Wliittaker, J. Varney, M.

BOYS ' ATHLETICS ]on Flynn, ' 48 1947 Football in Review SPIRIT and aggressiveness were the keynote of Coach Stewart and his boys in blue as they enjoyed their most successful football season since 1943. Valuable assistance was given Coach Stewart by our new math teacher. Mr. Walker. The combination of Mr. Stewart and Mr. Walker plus the desire to win on the part of the players, proved that a team doesn ' t have to be big to win. Despite the fact that the Scituate eleven were outweighed on the average of fifteen pounds per man per game, they compiled a handsome record of five victories, one tie. and two defeats throughout the season. For the first time since 1943 Scituate High was recognized as Co-Champion of the South Shore League, having to share that honor, tem- porarilv. with Marshfield. The townspeople showed their appreciation of such a splendid season by presenting the entire scjuad. through the Kiwanis Club, with a testi- monial banquet at Dreamwold Hall on Monday evening. December 1.5. 1947. The lettermen were awarded jackets and the rest of the squad re- ceived gold footballs. A short resume of the season follows: SCITUATE 7 ST. PATS. (Watertown) 7 Comment: The cheerleaders showed more pep and en- thusiasm than the team during the first three quar- ters. Thrill: When Whit passed to Joe, Joe carrying over to make the score 7-6. Star: Whit. He passed for the touchdown and plunged across to tie the score. SCITUATE 13 MEDFIELD 0 Comment: The entire game was marked by the great defensive play of the Scituate line. Thrill: When Jack intercepted a Medfield pass deep in Scituate territnrv ' . Star: Whit, again. He passed for both scores, one to Manuel and one to Joe. .

BASKETBALL John Cunningham, ' 50 THE Scituate High School basketball squad had an unsuccessful season this year as far as victories are concerned, partly because of the loss of many top players from last year ' s crack squad and partly because of the inexperience of this season ' s players. However, the team gained invaluable experience which will undoubtedly pay off with a championship next season. Nevertheless the season produced some very interesting games, among which were those with Cohasset and Norwell. In both of these games Scituate showed a definite superiority throughout but failed to emerge the victor. After the regular season had ended. Scituate was invited to oppose Mansfield in the Brockton Tournament. Scituate led the green devils well into the final period of play but lost lead through failure to control the ball.

Among the cast of returning hopefuls are Manuel Spinola. Brookie Durant, Holker Welch, Eddie Veiga, Elden Meyers, Bobby Rose, Jack Varney, Ned Hennigan, Eddie Stewart, Jr., and Dick Whittaker. There are several contenders for the pitching spot, among them Brookie Durant, Holker Welch, Dick Whittaker. Ned Hennigan, Johnny Cahir, and possibly John Cunningham, a transfer from Milton High.

Softball! Tennis! Spring must be here!! Although volley ball is rather an un- usual spring game, a group of girls were seen playing it on several warm afternoons, practising for the Brockton Gym Tournament which was held on April 9, at the Brockton Y. M. C. A. They put on an exhibition which proved to be successful. On March 29, girls who were interested in soft- ball signed up for this exhilarating outdoor sport. There were about fourteen blondes, brun- ettes, and red heads who wished to have a posi- tion on the team. The schedule was as follows: April 23 — Hanover; May 3 — Marshfield; May 5 — Kingston: May 10 — Cohasset: May 12 — Norwell: May 17 — Duxbury; and May 19 — Pembroke. On the following day tennis practice began, and many girls signed up for this sport. Miss Riggs has a schedule of two games and a tentative third. 44 Class of 1947 The following members of the graduating class of last year are furthering their education by attending college: Catherine Anderson, Wellesley Convalescent Home for Children Deborah Andrews, Smith College Thomas Bell, Wentworth Institute Thomas Breen, Tulsa University Terence Butler, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Ann Condon, Fay School Laurence Dwyer, Illinois State University James Goddard, Holy Cross College Ligi Goddard, Leslie College Robert Devine, Newman Preparatory School Jean Hokonib, Green Mountain Junior College Annelaine Limper, University of Miami Patricia Manning, Boston University Annette Milliken.

One afternoon Nancy noticed her pal Barbara skipping home from school. Two days later Bar- bara skipped home again instead of taking the bus. Two days after that Nancy saw Barbara skipping up and down Front street. Curiosity got the best of her. Why are you always skip- ping lately? she asked. Oh, it ' s because of soine new medicine my doctor ' s giving me, replied Barbara. 1 get it — the medicine makes you feel like skipping, glowed Nancy. Oh no. the doctor said to take the medicine one day and skip the next. 46 POETRY Aiituniii Days Sheila Mahoney, 7B Autumn Days are here at last, Back to school we go. Snow will soon be falling fast, And icy wind will blow. Birds will fly quite far away. Leaves will come a-tumbling down. Poor Queen Summer will stop her play When winter steals her leafy crown. Pumpkins on the self will grin. Witches weird will ride their brooms Apples red in the pail will spin. And fires bright will warm the rooms. Mother Nature will call the leaves. Football will bring exciting joys. Then stacked will be the corn in sheaves And this is fun for all the girls and boys. Autumn days are here at last, And back to school we go. Summer days have all gone past. And long the shadows grow. Seasons in Scitnate Ann Marie McAulliffe, 7B At any time of the long, long year. The beautv of Scituate is always dear. In winter when snow falls on the ground. Beauty and sports always abound. In spring when perfume fills the air Everything is so bright and fair. In summer when the tourists come Scituate surely starts to hum. In autumn when leaves start to fall Cold winds again begin to call. Leaves spread a carpet on the ground. And the hunter goes out with his gun and hound. About Scituate I ' d like to say much more. For it ' s the finest town on the whole South Shore. Stars Nancy Dwight, ' 52 0 little stars up in the skv.
