Our fift -one pupils are the best Because we vveie able to stand the test. This )ear we iave our president ' s chair To Eddie Veiga, a leader who ' s fair: In case our I ' .ddie isn ' t on hand, Bill Small will gladl take iiis stand. To Pat Goddard we gave the secretary ' s seat; She records our business each time we meet. Collecting the money again is Dee She makes sure she receives from us the right fee. Miss Dudley and Mr. Wilcox, class advisers, are Two helpful teachers — the best by far. Once more you found us in every sport; Outstanding in each, we held the fort. We ' d like to mention our great sports star, Our well-known Joe — he ' s up to par; Also Janice and Fay, Dottie, Pat, and Jean, The Senior cheerleaders, a great little team. In our four years at S. H. S. We learned to act our very best. We went out for All-School plays each year; We took each part without a fear. In our class we always strove for perfection; If we found a mistake, we made a correction. This year we were happy when J. Stewart got First prize in the Legion contest, hard fought. To Pat Goddard the Good Citizenship Award will go: A more deserving girl we do not know. We entered this school in ' 43; Anxious and determined students were we. We didn ' t falter; we didn ' t stop. We pushed ahead right to the top. And here we are in our Senior year, Prepared to go on to our life career. Of course we ' ll never stop to rest Till we ' re satisfied we ' ve done our best.

Do you recognize one of the brother and sister combinations of our class? Does that bonnet h ok hke a nurse ' s cap? She was one of the cutest then too. You can t miss two members of the class of ' 49 pictured together. Which one is the bo} who kicked those helpful points after touchdowns last fall? She had that mischievous look in her eyes then. Even at a tender age she had the pose of a superintendent of nurses. You may find her with a book in her lap even now. The snow-suit-clad child is now a telephone operator. . . . Who is the little girl with dark curl hair? Do ) ou recognize the gal with the bows as one of the cheerleaders? She has a cute shy grin today, too. 11 Highlights of Forty -Niners Name Nickname Ambition Hobby Favorite Sport D. Barclay Dave Cabinet maker Woodwork Hunting fishing M.

JUNIOR CLASS Janet Best, ' 50 Barbara Short, ' 50 TO whom it may concern : The exceptional class of 1950 last September 8 again prepared it- self for the coming year. At last we were Juniors. Increasing our members in our next-to-last lap were Wallace Dyson, front Ontario, Canada: Edna Bernhardt, from Red Banks High School, New Jersey: Ann Marie Brow, from Braintree High School, Braintree, Massachusetts: and Pa- tricia Hobson. from Staten Island. New York. Unfortunately, Wallace and Edna did not stay with us very long. John Cunningham, an older member, left us for Taft Acadeni) in Watertown. Connecticut. Our junior class officers are president. Osborne McMorrow; vice president, George Mitchell; sec- retary, Betty Murrill; treasurer, Malba Chase. Miss Kingsbury and Mr. Robb are class advisers. Our class has excelled in many extra-curricular activities, including sports, band and orchestra, glee club, and cheerleading. Several of our class were in or took part in the preparation of the All- School Play. The Junior Prom and the Senior Reception were carried out very nicelv. and were well attended. Once again many members of our brilliant class were on the honor roll or honorable men- tion list. Also, two of our members received spe- cial awards during the )ear. Margaret Noble won the 0. G. A. pin in stenography for the best out- lines. Glenn Parker won a South Shore award in football for the best right-end player in the South Shore League. This extraordinary class looks forward to the summer to recharge itself for its Utopia, the senior year. 13 SOPHOMORE CLASS First Row: Miss Rowell, adviser; M. Lopes, S. Anderson, M. L. Brow, S.

SOPHOMORE CLASS Susan Anderson, ' 51 Muriel Nichols, ' 51 IT is our privilege to record for you the latest en- try in the annals of the Class of ' 51, the Soph- omores of ' 48- ' 49. Getting off to a good start, we elected James Milroy, president and Mary Jane Stewart, sec- retary. Reelected were Scott Roberts, vice-presi- dent and Joe Cerilli. treasurer. Our class advisers are Miss Rowell and Mr. Scott substituting for Mr. Walker, who is trave ling with the A. H. A. hockey team in Europe. Practically without exception, every activity of the school including athletics, plays, clubs, and scholastic activities, has either been dominated, or at least participated in, by members of the Sophomore Class. Unfortunately we have lost several pupils this year. John Goodnow, Kilby Smith. Peter Virtue, Peter Bennett, Charles Noble, Barbara Fresina and Helen Bickford have entered other schools. However, we welcomed Mary Low Brow from Braintree and Jesse Rose from Jamaica Plain, who have joined our class at S. H. S. One of the most successful dances of the year was the Freshman-Sophomore Dance on April 8, under the able committee of Eugene Cohen, Gerry Gleason and Lois Merritt. Unquestionably the 1948-1949 school year will be long remembered for its illustrious Soph- omore Class. As a parting word we advise you, if you wish to see an extraordinary class, peer in to some of our classes and see the class of ' 51 in action. 14 FRESHMAN CLASS First Row: Miss Riggs, M. Dyer, G.

FRESHMAN CLASS Priscilla Merritt, ' 52 Barbara Prouty, ' 52 AT the beginning of the school year, the class of 19.52 proudly took over B2 and half of 203 as freshmen. We welcomed as new members Dale Richards from Marshfield : Lucinda Dickson from Kennebunk. Maine; and Donald Donahue from Newton.

At our first class meeting in B2. we elected Hank Cusick, president: Jack Breen, vice president: Helen Murphy, secretary: and Eddie Stewart, Jr.. treasurer. Mr. Stewart and Miss Riggs are our class advisers. Do you remember Miss Gloria Lovely in our All-School Play? She, — pardon me, he was ably played by Francis Whorf. Other freshmen in the play were Paul Green and Billy Bonomi. Quite a few freshmen girls participated in field hockey and basketball. Tom Snow, Hank Cusick and Mecca Cole will be helpful members of the football team in future years if they play as well as they did this year. Miss Vinal ' s history class has taken many field trips which have been very interesting. These were trips to the Harvard Museum, Fine Arts Museum, Gardner Museum, and the Woodward School in Quincy. Another interesting feature of our school year was the Speech Club organized by Miss Gile in English Class. Eddie Stewart was freshman chairman of the Freshman-Sophomore Dance. We hope our next three years will be as eventful and full of fun as our first was. 15 Eighth Grade Notes Elizabeth Grassie, 8- A, A ' eiV Totvle, 8-B When school began on September ' . 1948. a group of very experienced students, the present eighth grade appeared. There were seventy-three members in our class, but during the year several have left. Some members of our class are also members of the band and orchestra. They are Donald IIol- lis. Thad Litchfield, James Merritt, Neil Murphy and Judy Taylor. An interesting project in history is being un- dertaken. Groups of boys and girls are making separate booklets on The Vanishing Frontier. Group leaders are in charge. The eighth grade has one member of whom they are especially proud because he served as an important substitute on last fall ' s football team. He is Dale Shea. In October the 8-A class presented a historical assembly based on the life of Columbus. In 8-B the class distinguished itself by its suc- cess in the magazine drive. Seventh Grade Notes Priscilla Rand, 7-B Robert Boiiney, 7-A On September a troop of bewildered seventh graders entered the Scituate High School. For days we we re confused, but al last we began to find ourselves. When school began in the fall, the seventh grade had eighty-two members. Since that time, five more have entered and three have left. We have organized a club in our English classes called The Good English Club. ' We elect officers every third week. In January 7-A had an assembly in the form of a prize-speaking contest. In May 7-B will have its assembly program. Turtle neck jerseys are the fad just now and, of course, the junior high joined in the fad. We are all working to be a credit to our school, and we hope that our eighth grade year will con- tinue to be as successful as our seventh grade year. SCHOOL NEWS Fay Bissell, ' 49 J on II Kettell, ' 50 Administration and Faculty Changes THERE have been a few changes in the faculty of Scituate High School during the course of this year. Mr. Norman Walker, the math teacher, was granted a leave of absence to join the Amer- ican Hockey Association which is traveling in Europe. Mr. Harold Scott of Norwell is substitut- ing as math teacher until Mr. Walker ' s return next September. Mr. Donald Leach s place as di- rector of the band and orchestra has been taken over b Mr. Harold Alpert from New Britain, Connecticut. Mr. Walter Robb, from Lebanon, New Hampshire, has succeeded Mr. Laurence Benson as the manual arts teacher. Miss Carol Vollmer of the Junior High School was given a leave of absence for the ear to teach in Douglas. Alaska. Her place has been filled this year by Mrs. Andrew Finnic. Scituate High School Broadcast On December 11. 1948. Scituate High School broadcast a program over Station WBET at Brockton. Nancy Gilley was the announcer. The orchestra played several selections under the di- rection of Mr. Alpert. Members of the orchestra ensemble were Edward Hennigan, Barbara Cole, Janice Taylor ' 49 Betty Murrill, ' 50 Charles Valine. Lois Merritt, Donald Hollis. Mary Lou KildufF. and Robert Browne. A girls ' chorus consisting of Ida Vespaziani, Charmaine Witt, Joan Kettell. Barbara Cole, Fannie Whorf. Carol Stearns, Ellen O ' Neil, and Nancy Litchfield sang several selections. The third-year French class under the direction of Miss Harrington enacted three French plays. The girls that took part in these presentations were Frances Dyer. Mary Lou Corrigan. Patricia Goddard. Nancy Gilley, and Fay Bissell. Oratorical Contest Again this year, Scituate High School was represented at the Oratorical Contest, annually sponsored and presented by the American Legion. From the six seniors who competed. John Stewart was chosen to represent us. His talk was on the subject. The People ' s Constitution. Ours to De- fend. John went to the regional contest in Rockland in March. Previously at an assembly here, he deli vered the oration for our student body. It was very inspiring and let us know that we were well represented. John was awarded a local prize of ten dollars by the Scituate American Legion. 16 School Song This year a contest was sponsored by the Stu- dent Council to produce a new school song. Both music and lyrics were to be written by the stu- dents. An award of SIO will be made to the winning selection, five dollars for the music and five dol- lars for the lyrics. The contest is closed now. but the winner has not yet been decided. Mr. Alpert feels certain that of the many songs submitted, one will be a real winner and a song Scituate High School will be proud of. Scituate High School 1948- 1949 Assemblies WHETHER you prefer educational lectures and movies or the special-events assemblies, where the bands play and students participate in the assembly program, you have been thoroughly entertained this past school year. Under the auspices of the special Faculty As- sembly Committee, consisting of Mr. Froberger, Miss Vinal, chairman, and Mrs. Williams, such well-known actors and performers as Richard Carradine, member of the famous Carradine family, and Donald Scott-Morrison, noted pian- ist, have been entertainers at Scituate High this year. In September at our first regular assembly. Col. C. W. Furlong, traveler and well-known lec- turer, amazed us with his colored slides and his talk on The Yucatan. Egypt of the Americas. Later, in September, students of the Senior High explained the new Student ' s Association, which was just launching a drive for membership. Bar- bara Best, ' 49, Edwin Veiga, ' 49, John Stewart, ' 49, and the newly-organized school band under Mr. Alpert participated in the assembly. On October 7. Mr. Donald Scott-Morrison de- lighted us with his impersonations of the great music masters, Chopin, Handel, Bach, Liszt, Bee- thoven, and Brahms, and by his artistic use of costumes and make-up. The main attraction of this assembl) was Mr. Morrison ' s beautiful piano and harpsichord playing. In remembrance of Columbus Day. the Junior High under the direction of Mrs. Williams ar- ranged an appropriate program. Walter Hollis. Ann Breen, Robert Call, Louise Castles, Eliza- beth Grassie. Mary Goodnow, Kenneth Brebner. Aram Brazilian, Raymond Dwyer, Kenneth Dwyer, Judith Bongarzone. D. Cohen. Thomas Hennigan, Donald Hollis and Robert Harris all participated. Also in October Mr. Norman Coates Webster convinced even some of the hardier stu- dents that there can be joy in poetry, with his amusing talk, So You Don ' t Like Poetry. On November 11. an Armistice Day assembly gave many of the students a chance to take an active part in the ceremonies. Thomas Whittaker, Carol Stearns. Bertie Jean Walker, and Marilyn Pratt, as well as the girls choral group and band added to the assembly, at which Lt. Paul Rey- nolds, U.S.N, gave an interesting talk. Following the football and basketball seasons, we naturally gave the boys ' and girls ' teams their earned letters and certificates of merit. Also, service award pins were awarded to those who handled football tickets, and to those who were in the drill team. On December 22. a Christmas assembl) . which will long be remembered, gave Mr. Alpert his chance to show what good work he was doing with both Junior and Senior bands. A special musical group consisting of Barbara Cole, ' 50, Edward Hennigan, ' 50, Robert Browne, ' 52, Charles Valine, ' 52. Mary Lou Kilduff. ' 49, and Mr. Alpert became Christmas carolers and played many Christmas selections against a background of snow) pine trees, holly wreaths, and an old- fashioned street lamp. The girls ' choral group clothed in black robes and carrying lighted candles sang the traditional hymns under the di- rection of Miss Reynolds. During the winter season we were fortunate in having Mr. George Gilbert Groman. lecturer and coach to Hollywood stars, come to Scituate High and tell us How Other People Talk. ' The Junior High put on a prize-speaking contest un- der the direction of Miss Giles. Many short skits and soliloquies were given by talented junior high participants. Judges for this contest were John Lock. Thomas Smith, Elizabeth Grassie and Phyllis O ' Keefe. At a later assembly Mr. Rich- ard Carradine appeared in a Hamlet costume and dramatically portrayed some of the outstand- ing Shakespearian characters, quoting from fa- mous plays. Several assemblies were planned to help us plan our future. A nursing assembly for senior high girls set many to thinking of nursing as a career. A student nurse from Salem hospital in- troduced the subject Nursing As a Career and showed a very interesting movie on nursing. In March Mr. Roland Darling gave valuable guid- ance on vocations to the senior high, especially the Senior Class, by means of transcriptions and records. The advice and suggestions he gave were of great help to many of the audience. The musical assembly was one of the highlights of the eaT. All the nmsical and instrumental de- partments combined to entertain us with fa- CliDiiiiiies 17 miliar songs and pieces. Under the direction of Mr. Alpert. the Junior and Senior bands played such songs as The Skater ' s Waltz. The girls ' chorus directed by Miss Reynolds sang Begin the B eguine, Here I ' ll Stay, and In Old Vi- enna. ' and the now-famous S.H.S. dance band played Star Dust, and Harlem Nocturne with Charles Valine, ' 52. soloist. Following the American Legion oratorical con- test in February, at a special Lincoln day assem- bly planned by Miss Gile of the History De- partment. John Stewart gave the speech which won him the chance to represent Scituate High School in the contest. A short skit, entitled Lincoln ' s Best Friend. was put on by Junior High Students, who were coached by Nancy Gilley and Dorothy McPherson. A pantomime arranged by the Art Department and a science demonstration showed the possibilities of cor- relating history with other departments. Among student participation assemblies, we must not forget the literary quiz program under the direction of the English Department. Joy Hamlin. Nancy McDonald, David Dwyer, Char- maine Witt, and James Milroy fired questions at Virginia Day, Lois Merritt, Betty Murrill, Jack Kettell and Joseph Devine. At this assembly the 1949 Good Citizenship award was given to Pa- tricia Goddard. Also the freshman science class directed by Mr. Wilcox presented an interesting program of demonstrations and experiments. Other assemblies of importance included films on etiquette and good manners, a film on The Boston Globe, and one on Safety on the High- way. After this review of the assemblies of the school year 1948-1949, it certainly cannot be said that Scituate High School is lacking in assembly pro- grams. And we give our thanks to those who either participated in, or made these assemblies possible. Magazine Drive This year the magazine drive was conducted mainly in the Junior High to obtain radios for each of the Junior High home rooms and to add to the Bleachers Fund. The Junior High was di- vided into two teams. Harvard and Yale. The manager of the drive was Patricia Goddard. Nancy Gilley was assistant manager. The win- ning team was Harvard, and the winning quarter- back was John Davis, who called out $61.45. School Newspaper This year the Chimes Staff has put out two editions of the Scituation, the school newspaper which originated last year. A special edition of the Scituation, issued in March, carried a letter which Mr. Walker wrote to the school from Stockholm, Sweden. Community Drives The students of Scituate High School contrib- uted wholeheartedly to the various community drives this year. They gave to the Red Cross, the Tuberculosis Fund, and March of Dimes. 18 STL DENT COUNCIL First Row: N. Gillcy, M. Corrigan, B. Best, N. Breen, J. Stewart, E. Veiga, J.

STUDENT COUNCIL Barbara Anue Best, ' 49 ON May 2t. 1948 at the last meeting of the Student Council for the year 1947-1948 both the veteran and the newly-elected members were present to elect the officers for the coming year. The representatives for this year were Mary Lou Corrigan. Nancv Gilley. John Stewart, Edwin Veiga. Barbara Anne Best, Betty Murrill. Nancy Breen. FVank Duval. Joan Kettell. Jane Nord, Jane Flaherty. James Milroy. Scott Roberts, Jack Breen. Edward Stewart, Peter Palmer, and Thomas Whittaker. The representatives elected to office were John Stewart, president: Nancy Breen, vice-president: Edwin Veiga. treasurer: and Barbara Amie Best, secretary. The council organized in September with the following people chosen as chairmen of com- mittees: Edwin Veiga. Ways and Means: Mary Lou Corrigan. Attendance; Betty Murrill. Foot- ball Rallies: and Barbara Anne Best. Student As- sociation Dance. All of the committees were very active, and their eiforts have been very fruitful. Everyone much enjoyed the entertainment for Hallowe ' en and Scituate High ' s Nantucket guests on October 30. The Ways and Means Committee raised a considerable sum by the sale of coffee and dough- nuts at football games. The School Spirit Com- mittee encouraged school spirit and good sports- manship. The S. A. Dance held March 11. 1949 was most successful. The most important project of the year was the search for a school song. A committee with Mary Lou Corrigan as chairman sponsored a contest for words and music between January 10 and February 14. offering prizes amounting to ten dollars. Early in the year the Council had a drive for the sale of Student Association membership tickets. Included in the price of these tickets was the cost of copies of The Scituation and admis- sion to the S. A. Dance, as well as admission to all home games. Scituate High School Student Council dele- gates and representatives went to the Associated Bodies of Student Councils of Massachusetts Convention in the fall and in the spring. The S. C. members are representatives not only of their class or the organizations which they head, but also of the school and its students. Re- ports of their activities have been published, and they have invited other interested students to their meetings. 19 PRO MERITO SOCIETY First Row: Miss Kingsbury, adviser; M. Corrigan, F. Zalenski, B. Best, J. Stewart, N. Gilley, F. Bissell, Miss Harrington, adviser. Second Row: E. Veiga, F. Dyer, J. Tobin, V. Day, P. Goddard, D. McPherson. PRO MERITO SOCIETY Florence Zalenski, ' 49 THE first Pro Merito Society ever to be formed in Scituate was brought into existence on February 9, 1949 when twelve enthusiastic sen- iors were inducted into the society by members of the Rockland Chapter. The qualifications for this society are very high. The students must have averaged a grade of at least 85 during the entire four years of their high school education, and must be known as having good character. On February 9, 1949 the following members received sterling silver pins bearing the inscrip- tion Pro Merito : John Stewart, Imperator (President I: Barbara Best, Ductor, (Vice-Presi- dent) ; Florence Zalenski, Scriba (Secretary) ; Nancy Gilley, Praefectis Aerarii (Treasurer) ; Patricia Goddard; Mary Lou Corrigan; Fay Bis- sell; Frances Dyer; Edwin Veiga; Jean Tobin; Virginia Day; and Dorothy McPherson. Any member of this society who does not maintain the requirements for scholarship or character must forfeit his pin. The Pro Merito Society is now making plans for making money for gowns which will be worn by the Pro Merito members when they induct the qualified students of the class of ' 50 in June at our own Scituate High. The Pro Merito Society hopes in the future to become an active society which will be a credit to its members and to Scituate High. 20 KEY CLUB First Row: S. Roberts, B. Wyman, J. Stewart, J. Cahir, E. Veiga, J. Cerilli, R. Lee, C. Mitchell. Second Row: J. Milroy, G. Mitchell, H. McAvenia, J. Devine, P. Delano, R. Morrow, E. Cohen. KEY CLUB John Stewart, ' 49 AT a meeting in June of 1948 the following officers were elected for the 1948-1949 school year: Edwin Veiga, president; Charles Hurley, vice president: John Stewart, secretary; Joseph Cerilli. treasurer. The Key Club is a ser- vice organization with its prime purpose service to the school and cooperation with the faculty and our adviser. Mr. Froberger. It was found at the first meeting that Charles Hurley, our vice president, had moved to another town so another election was held to determine the new vice president. John Cahir was elected. The time of the meetings was changed to the sec- ond lunch period because of the predominance of underclassmen in the club. A committee headed by Robert Lee was ap- pointed to set up a program whereby Key Club members would pick up the school grounds. This chore has been satisfactorily accomplished bv the Key Club. Programs were sold at the Nantucket game under the direction of a committee with John Stewart as chairman. The program listed the players, referees, and other facts about the teams. A committee under the direction of Joe Devine sold tonic at the home games of the Scituate Ki- wanis basketball team. Permission was given by the Kiwanis Club for Key Club members, who were not to exceed three, to have free admittance at the games in order to sell the tonic. Tonic was also sold at the Kiwanis square dance held Feb- ruary 4. The Key Club members who were not mem- bers of the basketball team did a fine job taking tickets at the door for all home games. Several members were present and working at each game. All of the Scituate Key Club ' s sixteen members have been present at a Kiwanis Club meeting sometime during the year. Anyone who has at- tended a Kiwanis meeting knows that a good meal is served and everyone enjoys the evening tremendously. At one of the meetings the new members were presented their Kev Club pins. 21 BAND First Row: M. Chase. F. Bissell, M. Pratt, J. Taylor, J. Dwight. Second Row: J. Taylor, B. Prouty, N. Murphy, T.

BAND Janice Taylor, ' 49 THE Scituate High School band has greatly improved this year in size, style, and perform- ance. It is now divided into two sections, the junior band and the senior band. The junior band consists largely of junior high school students. These players will progress, as their knowledge of music progresses, into the senior band, which is made up of the older, more experienced nlayers. Also, the addition of the drill team, newly formed this year, has boosted the size of the band. Constant drilling has improved the style of marching, and a new interest and pride in the band has given the members, themselves, a kind of performing style. The drum majorettes have improved along with the band. They have spent a great deal of time working on new routines. New uniforms consisting of capes and skirts made by Miss Kingsbury, have added pep to their performance. Mr. Alpert has inspired a new interest in the band and orchestra this year. He has made our band one to be proud of, and the inembers proud to be part of it. The outlook is good, for this year the band does not lose too many players at graduation. The junior band is brimming over with proinise, and in a short time these beginners will become part of the senior band, while more beginners will fill their places. Watch our band! It ' s going places! 22 ORCHESTRA Janice Taylor, ' 49 SCITUATE High School certainly can take pride in the new school orchestra. The first outstanding performance of our or- chestra was at the Christmas Assembly. When the time came for the orchestra to give its part of the assembly, the curtains parted, and there, before the astonished eyes of the audience, ap- peared a beautiful Christmas scene. Grouped around an authentic street lantern stood the or- chestra members, dressed in winter clothes, stocking caps, and other yuletide finery. They played carols, and White Christmas, for which they received an encore. It was a very impressive program and we began to realize the full value of our orchestra. Then later in the year in an assembly put on by the music department, this organization again made an appearance. This time when the curtain opened, the stage was a maze of soft lights, and the players were seated behind blue banners on which S H S was beautifully scrolled. These striking additions were made by Miss Kingsbury. Our school orchestra not only looked like the real thing. but it also sounded like it. On March 11, the orchestra played at the Stu- dent Association dance. They had a repertoire of about thirty pieces and again they were a smash hit. They also participated in the All-School Broadcast earlier in the year. They have had many rehearsals in their own out-of-school time, using a rotation system so that each member has the rehearsal at his home at one time or another. A world of credit is due Mr. Alpert. who not only instructs the group, but also takes part in it with his trombone. It is inspiring to see such perfection reached through loyalty and hard work. So to the orches- tra we say Good Luck — We ' re proud of you. 23 COMBINED GLEE CLUBS FnssT Row: J. Daniels, . L Brow. J. Dwight, A. Brow, M. Lopes, S. Mongeau, J. Perry, R, Manning, B. Hunter, J.

COMBINED GLEE CLUBS Fay Bissell, ' 49 THE glee club consists of 104 members this year. It is divided into three groups: the sophomore and freshmen girls, the junior and senior girls, and the boys. Miss Reynolds is in charge of all of these groups. Sections of the glee club have taken part in various assemblies during the year. At the Christ- mas assembly chosen members of the girls ' glee club, dressed in choir robes and carrying candles, sang Christmas carols. Miss Reynolds chose an- other group to sing at the radio program which Scituate High School broadcast over Station WBET in Brockton this fall. The glee club is now working on music for graduation and baccalaureate. 24 HONOR ROLL The following names have appeared on the honor roll once or more in the first three marking periods.

Strange sounds came from Scituate High School Auditorium on the night when Don ' t Take My Penny was presented as the annual all-school production. Dotty McPherson was the person uttering these strange sounds as she practised voice training in one of the many comedy scenes of the play. Don ' t Take My Penny by Anne Coulter Mar- tins, a three-act comedy, was produced under the expert guidance of Miss Eleanor Gile. Howls of laughter arose from the audience when David Dwyer entered in black moustache, black wig and horn-rimmed glasses. Then Francis Whorf brought down the house when he nonchalantly came strolling on stage dressed as a beautiful model with long blonde curls. The rest of the ac- tors played their parts excellently. The cast was as follows: Sally, a maid with a purpose Florence Zalenski Norman Porter, a publicity man Glenn Wilder Penny, a pretty little miss Dorothy McPherson Caleb, her absorbed father Eugene O ' Neil Mark, her jarm-minded brother John Stewart Mavis, her attractive sister Nancy Gilley Lydia, her busy mother Barbara Best Joanna, her loyal girl friend Carol Stearns Kerry, her resourceful boy friend David Dwyer Greg, his pal with ideas Francis Whorf Gram, fust herself Nancy McDonald Monsieur Henri, a French designer William Bonomi Clair Muriel Nichols Elsie pretty young models Patricia Goddard Lucille Janice Taylor Red, a delivery boy Paul Green Harrison Day, a young author Phillip Delano Between acts of the play, the orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Alpert, played several se- lections.

We, the Seniors, opened our Book of Life about seventeen years ago, and here we are already at the end of the first chapter. That first chapter is called Childhood. From the day that we were born to the day when we shall graduate from high school, our childhood has been spent in preparing us for Chapter Two, when we shall become adults and must make our way in the world alone. Every day of our senior year makes stronger the realization that there are only a few pages to be turned before we must put to use all we have learned in seventeen years. Just being at a ball game with our friends or being in school makes us think how little time there is left. Soon every- thing will change. We won ' t belong any more. We will all go our separate ways and Chapter One will become just a memory and a lesson. We want to make the most out of every minute there is left and get the most enjoyment out of everything we do, because we are doing many of these things for the last time. This last year has been the fullest, the most im- portant of our seventeen so far. We feel that we have grown up in lots of ways this year. It ' s hard to explain just how we ' ve grown up, but we feel older anyway. We want to face the world with confidence; we hope that we will make a success of our lives. Especially we want to make our par- ents and teachers proud of us, and we want them to know that we appreciate al l they have done for us. Such are our thoughts as we see our childhood drawing swiftly to a close. Just a few more pages to turn, and Chapter One will be finished. We only hope that after we become accustomed to Chapter Two, we shall enjoy it as much as we have Chapter One and that it will lead to a suc- cessful future. Looking Ahead Carol Stearns, ' 50 The first years of our lives are spent in going to school. But after we graduate from high school, then what? Perhaps we want to get some additional education, which means two to four more years. But while we are getting this training and knowledge, we should have some idea of what we ' re going to make our life ' s work. Probably some of us are thinking of becoming doctors, lawyers, or artists, or entering other just as exciting and interesting professions. Are we sure that we will be happy in the work we are planning to choose? We must love what we are going to do or we ' ll never make a success of it. Otherwise it will be just plain monotony and toil. 28 Approximately eight hours out of the twenty-four are spent at work, whether we happen to be housewives or have a career. The rest of the twenty-four we spend eating, sleeping and play- ing. If we don ' t know anything about the profes- sion we are choosing, then we ' d better hurry up and find out something about it. One of the big- gest mistakes anyone can make is to be unaware of the hard work and disadvantages as well as the glamour and good features of his or her pros- pective job. Maybe one of us is planning to be a reporter, but if he doesn ' t know that the pay is very small for beginners, that college graduates are most likely to start off as cub reporters, and other such important facts, he will be sadly dis- appointed to realize that he is not going to start off with a salary of twenty-five thousand dollars a year with the job of editor of a big daily paper. On the other hand a good cub reporter has the chance of someday being a feature writer and perhaps traveling all over the country or even the world. Success is not really determined by the amount of money a person makes, but rather by what he or she amounts to in life. If we can go to college, we should by all means do so. It is important to get all the formal edu- cation that we can. Lastly, here are some things we should take to heart as undergraduates. We should talk with people who have jobs that we think we might like. We should visit colleges and talk to the students on the campuses. We shouldn ' t wait until we are seniors. Our lives and future are ahead of us. We should make them worthwhile. Our Democracy, Worth Having, Worth Defending Joseph Devine, ' 49 WE are living in times of turbulance and great chaos when the world seems false and in- secure. The peoples of the world are frustrated as the things they held dear, their dreams, crumble down about them. We have had two great con- flicts in less than half a century; many youths in many countries have made the supreme sacrifice. These wars have been between democratic coun- tries and dictatorships. What is democracy? Why is it worth having and worth defending? Democracy is a philosophy which insists upon the capability of the citizens to carry on their own government. The encyclopedia defines democracy as a term originating in Greece to designate a government where the people share in directing the activities of the state as well as participate in its rewards, as distinguished from the govern- ments controlled by a class, a distant group, or a dictator. Democracy exalts the individuals whereas other forms of government tend to mini- mize the importance of the common man. This does not mean, however, that all the subjects of a democracy can do as they please. If this were so, then our democracy would be a state of an- archy and chaos. There are many advantages of a democracy over other types of government. The people of a democracy are free because of the basic rights which their forefathers wrote in their Constitu- tion. They take an active part in the government and have direct say as to who shall be their leaders. If they don ' t like certain laws, it is within their power to change them. They have religious freedom. They can say what they please, so long as they don ' t harm anyone or make false statements. Freedom to assemble and freedom of the press are also advantages of a democracy over other types of governments. The Bill of Rights also protects the basic rights. It protects the common person against un- fair searches, insures the right to a speedy and fair trial, protects him from quartering troops against his will. In what other countries in the world do people have these rights? The answer is, in no other. In some countries people have been shot for voicing their opinions against the gov- ernment. The average man has no basic free- dom. He is a slave to the state instead of the state being the means of carrying out his wishes. He must do as he is told rather than what he thinks is right. Is this better than a democracy? Is this the way the government should operate for the people? Is our democracy worth having? Weigh the advantages and disadvantages in fa- vor of this country. It is far from perfect but it is the purest operating democracy in the world today. The people have a sacred right and duty to serve their country. It can be the best place in the world to live in only so long as the people wish to stand fully behind their government. If we neglect our sacred privilege, then we are not supporting our government. If we don ' t support our government, what ' s the sense of calling our- selves Americans. The framers of our constitution were the most learned men of their time. They realized 29 that to do something, they should do it well. They also realized that at some time or other, our way of life would be challenged to defend its theories of government. For this reason they drew up the Constitution to the best of their abilities. It has lasted from 1776. No other country in the world can say that of their Constitution. Our Consti- tution was drawn up for the protection of the common, everyday person, who should be the nucleus of any country. Why is our democracy worth defending? Why in less than half a century have we twice gone to war to defend our way of life? What makes men sacrifice their lives and families for it? These are but a few out of many more ques- tions that the person who has never known de- inocracv asks himself. Take any main street in any section of our country, and you will see what America really means. You will see ordin- ary people possessing freedoms unheard of in other countries. Go to any church on any Sunday morning and you will see millions of people wor- shiping their God as they deem fit. After mass walk into a newspaper stand and l)u your Sun- day paper. In what other country in the world could a common person become president of his nation? This is what makes America a Democ- racy, — worth having, worth defending. My Favorite Place on Earth Barbara Best, ' 49 My favorite place on earth is the one at the end of Lighthouse Road and the beginning of Rebec- ca Road in Scituate. At this historic site there is a lighthouse with a home adjoining it. It is the fa- mous lighthouse at Cedar Point with the bronze plaque on it bearing the inscription, SCITUATE LIGHTHOUSE Built 1810— Lighted 1811 Simeon Bates, Reuben Bates, James Young Bates — Keepers Rebecca and Abigail Bates — daughters of Simeon called The American Army of Two This lighthouse is built on rocky ground with water a few feet from it. There are two break- waters going out from this peninsula, one in towards the harbor and the other more towards the sea. The former was built of rocks which have very flat tops. It is said that twenty years ago when the breakwater was new it was so level you could ride a bicycle over it. Now after many years of surging tides the rocks have shifted so there are large cracks. The other breakwater was built in 1941. It is much wider and longer than the first and it has a beacon on the end of it which flashes once every four seconds. I think it is most delightful to sit on the con- crete platform of this beacon at the end of the breakwater and watch the water either swelling or breaking over the rocks below. To the northeast there is nothing but water and more water. Of course there are boats, some sailing along lackadaisically and others just skimming over the water. Also there are many, many lobster buoys which I always like to think of as stepping stones for someone to walk on. Now and then a seagull gracefully glides by. Looking up the coast to the north-northwest, 1 can see as far as the Glades, and looking down the coast to the southeast, I can see as far as Fourth Cliff and Humarock. These places are the extreme parts of Scituate on the coast. Behind me is the harbor with all kinds of craft, — sail boats, dories, skiffs and outboard motors, fishing boats. Coast Guard boats, and all sorts of launches and cruisers. In back is Sand Hills with its crowds of people and its rambling cottages. Whenever I think of Scituate as my home town, I always see the lighthouse. No doubt this light- house at Cedar Point will always be my favorite place on eartli. 30 Reflections Nancy Gilley, ' 49 All is still, except for The gentle lapping of the water against the hull: The distant cough of an idling engine; The soft murmur of a radio on a nearby boat; The distant moan of the horn of a passing car; The hollow sound of my heart beats as I fold my arms And lean against the mast. All is dark except for The lights from the town reflected in the still waters : The flashing beacon standing guard at the har- bor ' s mouth; The phosphorescence gleaming forth where the blackness of the water is disturbed: The dim lantern barely i lluminating the mast- head; The countless number of stars shining serenely down at me as I stand And gaze wonderingly back at them. All is peaceful, except for My mind, racing incessantly over The world And life And love. The Lonely Way Joy Hamlin, ' 49 The dog was beautiful. His coat of fur had been brushed carefully and it shone with good health. He lay obediently at the boy ' s feet, pant- ing slightly, ears cocked, his eyes glancing in- terestedly around him. The boy, who was about fifteen years old, sat on the park bench, eyes closed, feeling the warmth of the feeble spring sun upon his thin, long body. Occasionally his hand reached out tentatively to pat the dog ' s head, as if to reassure himself the animal was there. In answer to the elderly woman ' s question, he replied courteously, by all means to sit down in the remaining space. With a sigh she placed her bundles on the ground and slowly relaxed. That ' s a fine lookin ' dog you have, she said with a friendly smile and a faint Irish brogue. ■ ' Thank you, replied the boy with a polite smile. Have you had him for a long toime? she queried. No, he said patiently, only a few months. After this statement, she seemed content to sit silently, watching the pattern on the cement path made by the rays of the sun shining through the leaf-heavy trees. Around the two quiet people buzzed the noise of the city, but each was obli- vious to the sounds. One was deep in a habitual shell, dreaming of something he would never possess: the other remembered and was glad for the happy and sad memories she cherished. In front of the bench was spread a playground which attracted many children. The mutter of their excited voices occasionally rose to shrill cries. At one particularly stridant outburst, the boy looked toward the playground, a little eager smile curving his lips. But when he glanced away, the patient, blank, almost lifeless, expres- sion had returned to mold his features into a strongly-matured cast. A football suddenly bounded up and stopped at the boy ' s feet, causing the dog to rise instantly, growling a warning to the strange object. At a motion of the boy ' s hand he sank to his haunches, watching warily. A youngster from the playground yelled, Toss it over here; will ya? The boy got up slowly, reached down and picked up the ball hesitantly. With a graceful sweep of his long arm. he threw it straight to the lad ' s impatient hands. With a thanks thrown casually over his shoulder, the little boy returned to the waiting players. The boy remained standing, staring at the playground. Beside him, the woman looked up at him. and with motherly curiosity, she asked, Why don ' t you go out and play with them, son? For a moment he made no reply. Then he an- swered, Guess I don ' t feel quite up to it — yet. Setting his shoulders in a proud, straight line, he said, C ' mon, Buck, let ' s go. As the dog rose, he grabbed hold of the harness and walked un- erringly to the nearby street curb. The dog turned, his body against the boy ' s legs and they both stopped. After looking to the right and left, he advanced slightly, telling his master the way ahead was clear. Advancing Frontiers Harold McAvenia, ' 51 Deep forests, lush grass, wide rivers, bounti- ful game — for these things man has always yearned. It was this dream of the perfect home which led the pioneer always forward toward new frontiers. In the beginning the eastern sea- board satisfied his craving, but one look at the beauty aiul f(Mtililv of the laiiHs l)ey()nd the mountains awoke new desires in hini. The race was on ! This age-old desire has meant something dif- ferent to each generation. To my great-great grandfather in the earl lOfh century it was rep- resented bv the Erie Canal with its towpaths and heavily-laden barges. When life along the canal became too civilized, great-great grandfather moved west with the Mormons. His growing family of nine boys became absorbed in the carving of a new frontier. The quest for adventure lured my grand- father to the land of cottonwood and sagebrush where he worked as an engineer to help reclaim land vvhich has since become the center of citrus production in the Southwest. Few viewing the lower Rio Grande Valley today would dream that only two generations ago it was the land of the pioneer. My father satisfied his desire for the new, the different, by going to sea. He was too late for the days of sail, but there were no seamen ' s unions to ease the way of the man in the foc ' sle so he suffered the common hardships of the seaman in the early steamship days. I, too. find myself dreaming. At present I see Alaska as the last of our geographical frontiers, but there always remain limitless frontiers to be reached through the medium of science, possibly even in other worlds. For the coming generations there are the prob- lems of atomic energy, the conquest of Antarctica, and the stratosphere. Such is the life-blood of a nation. A Thrill Elliott Barrett, ' 57 There we were, standing on the platform wait- ing for him to get it over with. He had us standing in rows, four abreast, waiting, just waiting. We hadn ' t committed any crime, but there we were herded up in a bunch like a lot of sheep. You may ask, Well, what were you waiting for? We were waiting for the man in the brown tweed suit to pull the trigger. He had said that he would if we didn ' t watch out, and now he was going to. In a gruff voice he said. Don ' t any one move an inch or you know what will happen. And then all of a sudden there was a blinding flash, and someone in front of me groaned. But I just laughed. We had finally got it over with. The class pictures were taken at last. First Date Joan Keltell, 50 I ' mbkellas danced ever where. Ladies ' red and green and plaid umbrellas bobbed in and out amongst the blacks and browns of the men ' s. Cold, wet rain(lro])s pelted against the soaking faces and dollies of the rushing, pushing crowds and then dripped oil liie ends of und)rellas. It was five o ' clock, just in the midst of rush hour. Bobo was trying gallantly to hold his mother ' s huge, plaid und)rella over his head while he clutched several bundles in his arms. On top of these purchases, a small oblong box with a cellophane flap was dangerously tilting against Bobo s nose, making him sneeze every now and then. But Bobo didn ' t care. From the top of his whiffled brick-red hair to his muddy shoes, he was a mass of thrills and excitement. In two hours and forty-six minutes he would be at Su- sie ' s home. He would talk to her mother and father while she fluttered and fussed. She would probably take little, sidelong glances at his sud- denly-handsome face while he ' d describe the latest technique of the city ' s star football player. The crowning moment would come when he ' d hand her the corsage, extend his arm, and escort her to the car, with an air of sophistication. How handsome, how devastating he ' d be! She would never, never guess this was his very first date! Overcome by the thrill of his dreams, Bobo didn ' t realize he had passed his car stop. The clang, clang of the trolley ' s bell woke him with a start. Realizing his mistake, he dashed over to the trolley which was a good distance away. The corsage box dropped once in a puddle, but the flower wasn ' t ruined although the feather stick- ing out from the brown bag was bent out of shape. He reached the trolley just as the last person dropped a nickel into the slot. While he fumbled in his pockets for the fare. Bobo managed to close the dripping umbrella and dump his pack- ages on the nearest seat. Then, after a few seconds of frantic searching. Bobo looked at the im- patient conductor and with a worried smile, said. Gee, mister, can you change a five? - ■ « In another part of the city, a grandfather clock in the corner of a well-furnished room was strik- ing seven. All was quiet. Except for the sound of Susie running water in the bathroom, of Mrs. Cranston washing the dishes in the kitchen, and of Bobbie banging away in the cellar, no noise disturbed Mr. Cranston as he read the evening paper. As the seventh chime died away, a shrill, muffled voice called from the bathroom. 32 Papa, is that seven o ' clock already? No it ' s not seven now. It ' s forty-five seconds after seven. Don ' t be funny at this crucial moment, please, Papa . . . Owwvvw ! This water is hot ! Do some- thing for me. Papa? Ask Mama where she put my new gold sandals. And my long slip she was supposed to iron . . . Did you hear me? Yes. Don ' t shout so loudly. You ' ll ruin your voice. With a grunt, Mr. Cranston pulled him- self out of the easy chair, pushed Bobbie ' s stray train cars away and went into the kitchen. Mrs. Cranston was just putting away the last of the pots and pans. In the corner, over a chair, hung a freshly-ironed white slip. Take these things up to Susie, will you, dear, and tell her to hurry. Her escort (1 believe she said he had red hair I will no doubt be popping in any time from now on. The way Susie spoke, he must be something like Cary Grant or Glenn Ford. And tell her not to be too nervous. And, oh yes, tell her that 1 said she could use three drops of my Black Magic perfume behind her ears. Upstairs Susie Cranston busily prepared her- self for her date. Steam rushed from the bath- room as she dashed to her room. The first thing she saw was her white organdy dancing gown, a shimmering mass of white loveliness. With a fling of her arms, she waltzed around her room in time to the music being played on her radio. Papa Cranston returned to his easy chair and began to think. This was one of his favorite pas- times. He thought about Susie, about his business, about Joe O ' Connell, the neighborhood butcher, whose meat shop had been robbed last week, and other things. But his thought kept returning to Susie and her new date. Really, it wasn ' t only her new date, it was her first date. Would she handle herself properly or would she em barrass the unlucky boy by spilling punch on his new tie? Oh, fiddle, f addle! It will most likely be that boy who will make the mistakes. Bobbie, stop that terrible racket down there! Don ' t you know your sister is concentrating on being beautiful for that boy tonight? Having yelled these final words, Papa Cran- ston stalked across the room and switched the radio on. Dear, how are you coming? called Mrs. Cranston. Is your hair dry enough to be taken down? If you 11 wait one minute, I ' ll be up to help you with your dress. She walked into the living room and slowly climbed the front stairs. Mama, I ' m terribly scared, moaned Susie. What if 1 run out of things to say? How will I know I ' m not just a bore? And when we dance, I just know 11 step on his toes. Oh! I wish I were in Arabia, now! Thus, for the next half hour, Susie and her mother brushed and tugged and fastened and combed. . . . Somewhere, a bell tolled eight times. Robbins Ceasar MacGillicutty, alias Bobo. was trying to park his father ' s new Buick. but without much success. The sleeves of his father ' s tuxedo kept rubbing the wheel while the starched vestee made a crackly sound when he leaned forward. Bobo slammed the car door with a bang. It took skill- ful maneuvering to skirt the mud puddles. In his right hand, he held the corsage box. Full of con- fidence, he crossed the porch and rang the bell. Silence. Well. well, the lights are on. but nobody answers. Bringgg. Ahhh, that ' s more like it. He passed a hand over his slicked-down hair just as Mr. Cranston was saying. Come in, boy, come in. You must be Bobo. We ' ve heard a lot about you. Here, have a cigar. Thev ' re White Owls. My favorite brand. Huhhhh? Nooo, sir. Well, that is — ummm, 1 mean, 1 — 1 -er don ' t care for one now. Excuse me a minute, young man. Why not go in and sit down. She ' ll be right down. Papa went to the head of the stairs and yelled in a loud voice, Susanna, Susanna. Ceasar ' s here! Ohhh, Papa, oh, all right . . . Coming. In the livingroom. Bobo winced when he heard Ceasar. Suddenly, his collar became too tight, his face felt like a hot poker from the shaving soap and his neck turned bright red. Poor Bobo! He and his famous speech. Just then Susie entered. Helloooo, Bobo, she cooed musically. H-h-iii ya. . . How ya been? Here, I hope you like them. Silence. They ' re just lovely, Bobo, so beautiful. Now, 1 think we ' re read) . Good night, Mama. Good night. Papa. Good night, Bobbie. . . Why, thank you, Bobo. As he held the door. Bobo thought to himself, And 1 thought I ' d be suave and tactful. Boy, what a night I ' m in for. My first date — but never again. She ' s awfully pretty, though. Susie, to herself. My heavens, did I ruin the effect! Now he ' ll never like me. I ' ll be the laugh- ing stock of the whole party. I ' ll dance on his feet and I ' ll probably forget to pin the corsage on right. But he must never know that this is mv first date. Never. I ' ll just take a peek at him . . . Why, he ' s blushing too! 33 The Thing Russell Paul, ' 52 It descended slowly through the clear cold Siberian air. It continued this line of flight until at 3000 feet it seemed to level ofl and pick up speed. You couldn ' t tell what it was very well because of its unaccountable shape, a huge, bluish-hued, gaseous ball, rushing through the cool, crisp night air. It was slowing down now. Every once in a while it seemed to dip closer to the earth, to almost touch, and then to ascend quickly again and continue on its strange, om- inous journey. It was two days later that we first heard about it. A trapper in the Cold River region had seen it at four-thirty in the afternoon the day before. It was slowly and ponderously floating down through the cold air, a bluish ball of filmy, gaseous what? ' Immediately troops were rushed to the area. Planes, with their heavy loads of defense equip- ment, were dispatched from near-by stations and flown to the Cold River station, where additional defenses were hurriedly set up and a cordon of sentries posted around the thing. The radar crews had just gone to work to see if anything was inside the ball when a small hole seemed to open in the bottom of the ball. Slowly, and yet swiftly, like a terrible plague, the thing spread out of the ball and out over the ground. Up the cliffs, over the whole land it spread, a horrible purple mass, glittering men- acingly in the bright sun of Siberia. Ten years have passed now. The Earth is al- most completely barren. Many bluish, gaseous balls can be seen in the air today. And that glit- tering purple terror is fast advancing upon our last outpost, devouring somehow everything in its path, sweeping steadily over our planet. But wait! ! News has just been received. We have found a way to fight this thing! We have driven it back to the ball of gas. Quickly automatic- tracking-telescopes are focus ed on it. The thing rises slowly in the air and levels off high up. There it pauses, then rises up out of sight of the human eye. But the scopes are trained on it, ever watching. For eight months now we have been following the blots of gas, up, up, into the regions of outer space. Then on August 19, 1972, on a star 85,- 469 light-years away from Earth, we see them land at a huge airdrome. The flowing glittering thing has been defeated. Earth is saved! But what of the years to follow? No one can foretell what may happen. All we can do is live in terror of the thing! ! Locust Slew Stanley McAvenia, SB It was the spring of 1867 and I was twelve years old. For the first time I was to be allowed to ride herd with my father and the hands of the neighboring ranch. There was great excitement around the house the day before we left. My mother, as usual, did not think I was quite old enough to go with the men. but father convinced her it would be an education for me to see the booming town of Abi- lene. So early that night I packed everything I would need in an old duffle bag and went to bed, but I was too excited to sleep much. The trip was interesting for me as it was my first, but on the whole it was uneventful except when we found a smouldering prairie schooner near the old Chisholm Trail. Then we knew that there was a raiding party close at hand. Before long we ran into a small band of Indian braves, who, my father said, were probably look- ing for trouble and excitement. However, they greeted us in a friendly way and invited us to camp with them. We could not very well refuse, because they would be insulted and stampede the cattle, which is the worst thing that can happen to a rancher. That night after the campfires were roaring, the braves insisted that we eat with them. I was pretty hungry after a hard day in the saddle, but the slimv green stew with bits of salty meat in it certainly did not appeal to me. From the look my father gave me, I knew that I must eat it. That night, when we were rolled in our blankets beside the fire, I said, Pa, what kind of stew was that we had for supper? From the blankets next to me came the sleepy answer, Why, son, don ' t you know? That was locust stew! This was a true story told by my grandfather. Minot ' s Light Helen Dowd, ' 49 On the morning of April 17, 1851 Two keepers in old Minot ' s Light stood Not knowing that their fate Lay in the early hours of that day. Forces of wind and sea Beat and blew against the structure Until it could no longer stand. So Minot ' s Light fell To be buried forever in the waters of the great sea. 34 Live and Learn Dorothy McPherson, ' 49 There is no doubt about it — people are inter- esting. While working at a vegetable stand this summer. I had the opportunity to see this for mvself. People drove in and out all day. and 1 had ample time to compare all types of them. I realize that choosing vegetables is something that is comparable to a major operation. Al- though the sign, that everyone carefully avoids, explains that the vegetables are freshly picked every dav. people insist on asking. Are these fresh? and proceed to squeeze everything that is squeezable. The next obvious question is Could- n t ou run out and pick me a fresher one? A fresh answer pops into m head, but after count- ing to ten in French and telling mjself the cus- tomer is always right I refrain from saying any- thing I might regret. 1 don t know what it is about signs, but people insist on ignoring them. 1 labored one afternoon making bright and colorful signs that said TOMATOES 35c and so on down to HOT PEPPERS 6 for lOc. And yet people always looked at me in unquestionable innocence and asked. How much are the tomatoes? Of course there are the others — those who park their car on the farthest side of the drive and shout over to me. How about a squash? (The stand is self-service; 1 just collect the money — supposedly. ) 1 yell back. How big? Hold one up. I hold up a squash. Too small. Got a bigger one? Looks old. A middle-sized one? I put it in a bag and trudge over to the car. This tvpe of person invariably comes with a ten dollar bill. A squash costs 10 cents. After tearing into the house to get the change. 89.90. I come back only to hear the driver throw back the casual remark. 1 didn t really need squash anyway. However peculiar people were, they made my job very interesting.

Close Shave Geraldine Gleason, ' 51 The tall lean figure advanced slowly down the dimly-lit corridor until he came to the room for which he was searching. He paused a moment to see if anyone were watching him. Seeing no one, he slowl) opened the squeaky door. The noise startled him. After all. it was the first time he had ever done such a thing. He carefully viewed the layout of the room, proceeded quietly to the bureau, and opened the top drawer. Very carefulK he drew out a sharp- edged instrument. With this clutched tightlv in his hand, he grimly went about his task. Within a few minutes his work was finished. He returned the implement to its hiding place. Then he tip- toed out and softly closed the door. He had com- pleted his work, unobserved. Walking back along the hall, he tenderlv felt his face with boyish satisfaction.

Springtime in Scitnate Ann Marie McAuliffe, 8B In Scituate when spring draws near. And fluffy clouds buck through the air. The birds begin to chirp a tune. And flowers burst into lovely bloom. Our little town begins to hum, Because at last the spring has come. The brooks begin to bubble and sing And ev ' ry where is the beautiful Spring; Scituate grows bright and happy again After the long winter that has just been. Procrastination Nancy Gilley, ' 49 Question: What is the one fault common to the majority of the human race? Answer: Procrastination, or the act of putting off action from day to day. Procrastination is a trait that is born in every- one. In some, it is dormant, while in others it is very active. To strike a happy medium, we shall use as an example the average person. In childhood, procrastination has developed only so far as to slow up the teeth-brushing and ear-washing process. As the child grows, so does this trait. During the four years of high school and the first year or so after graduation, pro- crastination reaches its maximum power. It shows up in many diverse forms and wrecks havoc with the patience of one ' s parents and teachers. After high school years, it begins to die out or rather, the average person has gotten better control and allows it to make an appearance only once or twice a year. As has been stated, everyone has the common trait of procrastination, but there is a definite art to using it. Some people use it with finesse, while others throw it around like a bull in a china shop. There are some who, to put it bluntly, can get away with murder by merely assuming a very innocent expression and one or two stock phrases like Oh! I am sorry, but I had so much to do, it just slipped my mind, or I ' ll do it first thing in the morning before breakfast. Then, there are others who simply get engrossed in a good book or a telephone conversation, or what have you, and either don ' t take the trouble or simply forget to make up a good excuse beforehand. Here are three ways to test whether or not you are a good procrastinator. 1. Can you, beginning at 2:10 on Friday afternoon, think up enough excuses to keep from starting your homework until 8 p.m. Sunday, and then (if something unforeseen calls for it ) further postpone said homework till before school Mon- day, and still hand it in on time? 2. Can you, when told to have your room neat and clean by 5 o ' clock that after- noon put off the jolly task until 4:45 and still get it done? 3. Can you, when told to go to the store (a mere five minute walk) for something vitally needed for supper, stop in at the drug store for a coke, play a couple of records on the juke box, arrive home an hour or so later, and be met with a smile and no questions asked? If you can answer yes truthfully to all three questions, congratulations. We wish we could. FOOTBALL ]ohn Stewart, ' 49 IN the early fall forty-two candidates for grid- iron fame trotted out onto the Scituate field. They were followed by the moans and groans of Coach Stewart who annually predicts the cellar for his team, but generally comes pretty close to topping the South Shore entries. After weeks of hitting the dummy, running through signal drills, and working on body con- tact. Coach Stewart had a team which, if you listened to him. would at least be presentable. The team journeyed to Watertown to play St. Patrick ' s, a team with a decided weight advan- tage. Although Scituate ' s offense was brilliant between the 20-vard lines, they could not cross that last double-stripe into paydirt. Scituate walked off the field licking their wounds from a 13-0 whitewashing. The next game was at Randolph where Scituate was jolted severely by a 20-0 shellacking. The game was marked by exceedingly rough play. Eddie Viega was lost for the season in this game with a severely twisted knee. The first league game was played at Marsh- field before a huge crowd of cheering people. Al- though Scituate dominated the play and Donnie Martin. Marshfield ' s speedy scatback. broke into a long run at the end of the game, the contest ended in a scoreless deadlock. After the Marshfield game. Scituate had two warmup games for its next league game with Han- over. The Scituate eleven rolled over hapless Millis 36-7, completely overpowering them. The next week the Nantucket Islanders made the long trip to Scituate to try their luck against the Scit- uate Blue, now recognized as being tremendously improved. The game was won bv a lighter but better Scituate team 12-7. Following the Nantucket game was the game which no true football fan could miss. Hanover was to meet Scituate in a game which might de- cide the league championship. Scituate took an early lead on a straight line buck by Ned Henni- gan. The all important point-after was calmly kicked by Wendell Chipman. Hanover wasted no time in breaking into the scoring column when Jack Bowen raced into the end-zone. The conver- sion was missed and Scituate enjoyed a one-point lead. Scituate dominated the play for the rest of the game and pla) ed most of the second-half in Hanover territory. The final score was 7-6. Next on the schedule of the Scituate team was Cohasset. On a rainy, dreary Thanksgiving morn- ing, in a virtual bog of mud. disaster struck. Scituate ' s title hopes were deflated when Cohas- set pinned a 2-0 defeat on them. James Barrett of Cohasset nailed Bob Duffey in the Scituate end zone for a safety, bringing about a four-way tie in the league standings. Scituate placed three men on the South Shore dream team. They were Howard Cole, Glenn Parker and John Smith. The Scituate team loses very few men through graduation and the hopes for a well-balanced team in the future are excellent. 37 First Row: J.

Scituate ' s Team of ' 48 Malba Chase, ' 50 The football team of ' 48 Without a doubt, was really great; Three of them made All-South Shore. What ' s that you say? Tell you more? First of all, here ' s Full-back Ned, The boy who really used his head To pass the ball and buck the line; In fact, they say his work was fine. Here is Hank, the quarterback; There ' s nothing that this boy did lack. He called the plays, which was his chore, — He did his job and plenty inore. Here ' s a boy, whose name is Mecca, Who should be called the One-Man Wrecker. He was one of the All South Shore. Let ' s see what next year holds in store. Who played so splendidly at right end? It ' s none other then our own Glenn. Now only in the class of ' 50 He turned out to be pretty nifty. Here is the boy who won his fame By making that tackle in the Marshfield game. It ' s Johnny Smith, at left guard Who really hit that man, — but hard. Now you know just why Of ' 48 was on the beain. A valuable man in our front line Was the left-end, Joe Devine. He and Sonny made quite a pair To snag those passes from out of the air. Center position was held by two Who did what they were supposed to do. Who else could I inean, but Gene and Forry, Who made their opponents look pretty sorry. Here we find Elliot at right guard Who really played his position hard. We liked to hear his war-like yell For it like Suchard. rang the bell. Who was right tackle? Why, Billy Small The boy who was always on the ball, A good little player, which no one denies. He is the boy who was football wise. Here is Hendy, so big and rugged. Who always made sure his inan was covered. To Scituate fans, he ' s nothing new And he ' ll be here for next year, too. Last but not least, here is our Shea And a great game of football, he did play. Now only in grade eight. This little player sure was great. the team 38 BOYS ' BASKETBALL First Row: J. Ketterer, B.

GIRLS ' HOCKEY Malba Chase, ' 50 Kathleen Manning, ' 50 THEY did it again! The Scituate High girls ' field hockey team came through once again with the ' 49 South Shore Championship. Is it any wonder, though, under the very capable coaching of Miss Riggs? And of course much credit goes to Mary Lou Corrigan as manager of the squad. The girls made 32 goals to their opponents ' mere 4, and throughout the season were unde- feated. They had one tie with Braintree. They remained unscored upon in seven out of nine games. The numbers of goals made were as follows: Malba Chase. 17; Dolores Parker, 9; Mary Roy, 4: Marg Mongeau, 1; and Nancy Breen 1. Fay Bissell and Nancy Breen were chosen to be on the Boston All-Star Team. The members of the Varsity were as follows: left wing. Nancy Breen; left inner, Dee Parker; center forward. Malba Chase: right inner, Mary Roy; right wing, Marg Mongeau; right half- back, Rosemary Manning; left halfback, Joanie Perry; left fullback, Mary Lou Brow and Helen Ann Murphy; right fullback, Fay Bissell: goalie, Helen Dowd, Virginia Day and Marion Dowd: center halfback, Kathie Manning, Captain. The second team also deserve congratulations. They worked hard every afternoon at practice, giving the varsity some hard competition.

However, let ' s look back upon some of the important points of the ' 48- ' 49 season. VARSITY: The Varsity Lettermen with their hard work and loyalty made the season a success. This year ' s senior lettermen were B. Best (man- ager ) , M. L. Corrigan, F. Dyer, P. Goddard, S. Mongeau (co-capt. I, I. Pratt, M. Roy and J. To- bin (co-capt. I. The under graduates were M. Chase, B. Cole, N. Breen, K. Manning, M. Noble, J. Carlson, and M. Stewart . JUNIOR VARSITY: The Junior Varsity must not be forgotten, as they also gave loyal service to the team and. of course, some of them will move up next year to take the place of the seniors on the Varsity squad. They were as follows: V. Day. H. Dowd. M. Dowd, V. Ahola. B. Murrill (asst. manager), J. Castles, S. Anderson, S. Brig- ham, R. Manning, H. Murphy, J. Perry and S. Pettersen. HIGHSCORERS: This year ' s high scorer was Malba Chase with 82 points. The runners-up were Nancy Breen (40 pts. ) and Pat Goddard (37 pts. I . HIGHLIGHTS: A ' orM;e — This, our first game of the year, heralded the start of a good season. The Scituate girls, after a thoroughly exciting game, defeated Norwell 25-10. Cohasset — Our second game of the year proved to be the most exciting of all. Throughout the four quarters, the score was like a see-saw! Scit- uate girls were behind by one basket, with one minute left to go. At the very last second Marg Noble sent the ball through the hoop and tied the score 26-26.

SPRING SPORTS Pat Goddard, ' 49 Ginny Day, ' 49 Once again spring has rolled around, and once again the girls are busy preparing for successful seasons in both tennis and Softball. Last year for the first time in several years tennis was organized on a competitive basis. Con- sidering the teains played and the inexperience of our team, we can truthfully say that the season was successful. With last year ' s experience as a foundation, we hope to have a still more success- ful season. Almost every afternoon now you can see the girls ' Softball team out practicing or actually playing some visiting team. As last year ' s team lost only one senior, it is hoped that the team this year will be strong and successful.
