We are now about to leave dear Scituate High to take our places in society, as do thousands of others each June. We eagerly await what lies ahead of us. But before we begin our long journe over Life ' s hard road, we pause for a moment to recall our past school days here at S.H.S. Our first three years sped lightning-like b . Before we realized what was happening, we had become wise old Seniors. Losing this wisdom to advantage, we elected Duke Duval to be our president. George Mitchell was chosen for the vice president ' s seat: while Betty Murrill con- tinued her now four-year position as class sec- retary. We also again gave Malba Chase the job of handling the class bankroll. Our faithful class advisers were Miss Kingsbury and now. Mr. Wilcox, who through the departure of var- ious teachers, became our final adviser for the Senior year. Sports anticipation was the high light of this year ' s Senior Class. Remember the wonderful football team Scituate had this past year which won the South Shore championship? Duke Duval. Ned Hennigan. Bruce Donlan, Dale Hen- drickson. Cliff Tyler. Forrest King. Sonnie Parker. John Smith, and Charles Mahon, acting as manager, were all in there fighting for every game. Mo Mahon ' s green-feathered, good luck cap will long be remembered. When Scituate football is mentioned, don ' t forget how certain Senior athletes risked life and limb at the hands of Nantucket and other rough and ready teams, for the honor and glory of S.H.S. A fitting climax to our last football game was the spectacu- lar win over Cohasset, Thanksgiving morning. Girls ' field hockey gave about seven of our Senior girls an opportunity to show ' their skill, namely. Nancy Breen, Malba Chase, Joan D wight, Joan Castles, Donna Vickery, Kathleen Manning, and Ann Brow, manager. This year, the cheerleaders were especially good. Maybe it was because of the pep of the four Senior cheerleaders. Charmaine Witt, head cheerleader. Penny Rich. Donna Vickery, and Joan Castles. Basketball this past winter saw Bob Fernandez. Bruce Donlan, Frank Duval, Ned Hennigan. and Gale Lemoine. manager, all in the fight: while Kalhy Maiming. Malba Chase, Nancy Breen, Margaret Noble. Velma Ahola, Barbara Cole, and Betty Murrill. manager, made Miss Riggs proud of her girls ' basketball squad. Other sports, including baseball. Softball, temiis. and track, gave many Seniors a chance to show their talents. This year, Jane Nord was chosen to receive the D. A. R. Good Citizenship Award. In March, Jane was honored at a banquet in Boston along with other Good Citizenship winners from Mass- achusetts. Frank Duval was elected by the South Shore Schools on Student Government Day to attend the conference at the State House in Boston as South Shore Representative. Maybe )ou remember the excellent speech, The Privileges and Responsibilities of an Amer- ican Citizen delivered by Charmaine Witt, winner of the oratorical contest at S.H.S. We were very proud of Charmaine when she de- livered this speech at Hyannis. Among the various organizations such as Pro Merito. Student Council, Key Club, and band, orchestra, and glee club, the Senior class was well represented. Bobby Lee became president of the two-year-old honor society. Pro Merito, and George Mitchell was president of Key Club and Student Council. In the All-School play, Gay Nineties Revue, many Seniors took part. The Senior play, There She Goes, proved to be one of the best shows at S. H. S. for several years. Our history has been like that of any other graduating class. We ' ve gone through the best years of our lives, experiencing thrills when we attended our first formal prom, anxiety over possibilities of flunking tests or homework, and heartaches when we realized our school days were almost over. But the happiness we enjoyed when we were part of S.H.S. ' s program was worth all our efforts. Now. we are looking ahead to the future, some to take up housekeeping, some to go to work, still others to go on to colleges or careers. And al- though we. as the class of the half-century, mav never be together again, our memories will for- ever be with our Alma Mater, dear old Scituate High School. 10 Guess which one is our woitli) president. Don ' t hjok too hard: he ' s that black-haired little cherub. Don ' t let those bangs fool you. She ' s still got them, but they ' re all curled up. That blonde little girl standing near the poppies is our class artist. That serious little dark-haired girl is none other than one of our redheads. Another little girl is our Southern belle. You ' d never know her because she doesn ' t have a violin in her hand. The dark-haired beauty sitting on the fender hopes some day to be a nurse. Could you recognize that serious boy on the snow bank for Pete Wheeler? ' Suppose that blonde-haired fellow was think- ing about trigonometry and Wentworth Insti- tute? The little girl in the snow suit still has that lovely smile. How could you help knowing that boy in the play pen as one of our basketball stars. You have to be shown so says this ex- Missourian. The bo) in the dark coat and hat is none- other than Tommy. Blonde and blue-eved. she comes first in 105. He ' s sh) and quiet. l)ut don t under-estimate him — he ' s still got that cute grin. The girl with the shy air and powder puff hat came from Braintree. Would you ever believe that that bathing beauty was one of our cheerleaders? The demure little girl sitting on the step is one of our star forwards. No, Not Nancv. Guess again. The little girl patting the dog also aspires to be in the nursing profession. Did she know Jimmie when she was sitting in that high chair? Do you recognize that blonde as one of our drum majorettes? That little girl standing on the sidewalk was also a cheerleader. That coy little blonde who ' s sitting in the chair is one of our stenographers. Do you recognize our tall redhead who likes to sing Patty Cake Man? ' Don ' t let those glasses fool ou. She ' s our wonderful actress who played Mattie. Brother and sister are these two. and they still look alike. We ' ll leave the last one for you to guess. She s one of our stenographers is all we ll say. 11 SENIOR PERSONALS Name Nickiumie Anibilidii V. Ahola J. Best N. Brct-n Val Red Nance HiiniiMiiakcr Indtpt ' iideiici ' (id 1(1 Auliocli A. Brow J.

SOPHOMO Priscilla Merritt, ' 52 The Class of 1952 began school in September with an enroUnient of sixty-six. At our first class meeting we elected officers. Hank Cusick and Jack Breen were re-elected president and vice-president respectively: Bar- bara Prouty was chosen secretary: and Ann Dacey. treasurer. Our advisers are Miss Riggs and Mr. Stewart. Activities of the year have been many and var- ied. Seventeen sophomore boys were on the championship football team with four of these on varsity. Tommy Snow and Johnnys Jacobucci were chosen by the Quincy Ledger to be among Scituate ' s representatives on the South Shore AU-Star Team. Other sports throughout the year had a large representation of the Sophoinore Class. Many girls were on the hockey teairi which won the South Shore Championship. Basketball, softball. tennis and baseball also had a goodly number of Sophs on the teams. Some of the sophomore boys are enjoying their first experience in Key Club. Nine boys RE NEWS Barbara Prouty, ' 52 were admitted into this organization at the be- ginning of the year. Our Student Council rep- resentatives are Barbara Prouty, Richard Clapp and Eddie Stewart, who is also treasurer of this group. A large number of the Class of 1952 were in the All-School Play and the spring concert, either dancing, singing, acting or playing in the band. And what would the school orchestra be like without the clarinets and the saxophone which are played by sophoiriores. Those friendly librarians at the desk in Study Hall, ready to help you. are often sophomores. An increased volume of sound from typing room is due to the fact that a lot of Sophs are taking typing this year for the first time. You can also hear strange sounds coming from Room 209 as about three-fourths of the Sophoinore Class struggle to learn Frangais I. We are looking forward to taking our place as upper classmen and future leaders of Scituate High School. 14 FRESHMAN CLASS First Row: D. Kane, E. Hatch, A. Nichols, J. Bongazone, I. Gleason, E.

We wel- comed as new members to our class John Nitzsche from Newton; Frances Sweeney from West Roxbury; Robert Wiley from Norwell: Karl Virtue back from Vermont: Barbara Kerans. whom we soon lost: and Malcolm McDonald and Robert O ' Hern who attended school at Wey- mouth last year. We were sorry to lose Peter Curley, Paul Parker, and Raymond Dwyer, who now attend school at Braintree; and Dooley Sciple who has moved to New York. At our first class meeting class officers and advisers were elected. Michael Veiga was elected president: Kenneth Brebner. vice president; Mar) Goodnow. secretary: and Karl Virtue, treasurer. Miss Vinal and Mr. Kreimer were elected class advisers. Members of our class have participated in nearly all extra-curricular activities. Many freshmen have taken part in athletics, and our class has been well represented in the school band and orchestra. Neil Murphy, Kenneth Roberts. Donald Jenney. and Judy Taylor took important parts in the all-school production. In our coming years at S. H. S. the class of 53 looks forward to becoming a great success. Just watch us! 15 Eighth (j ra le Notes Thomas Whittakcr, ' 54 Oil September 5. 1949. a group of vory en- thusiastic students, veterans of one year in the Junior High, appeared in the eighth grade. The eighth grade history class put on a very interesting exhibit on the history of transporta- tion. The pupils made scale models of ships, trains, and airplanes. Each pupil also made a booklet on transportation. A display of the mod- els was then set up. Some of the best booklets were also used. When it was complete, pictures were taken. On March 11. the school broadcast was put on over WBET. Brockton. Several eighth grade students took part in a skit based on the life of Nathan Hale. Those who took part were Priscilla Rand. Russell Prouty. Thomas Whittaker, Charles Goddard. Jay Locke, and Richard Prouty. In October the 8B class presented an assembly consisting mainly of talks on students ' hobbies. Stafford Short gave an interesting talk about fishing. Patricia McAulifife gave a talk on her collection of dolls. The Junior High had a boys ' basketball team on which several eighth grade boys played. Two games were played. Duxbury was beaten 28-22. Cohasset won the other 12-10. The girls also had a team. They played one game against Cohasset and lost. Several members of the eighth grade are in the band. They are Donald Bongarzone, Lee Carpenter. Fred Gleason. Elliott Haartz. Thad Litchfield, Richard Prouty, Russell Prouty, David Roberts. Thomas Smith, and Thomas Whittaker. Several girls also played on the junior varsity field hockey, and basketball team. Diane Prouty, Yvonne Mongeau, and Nancy Taggart were on the hockey team. Diane Prouty, Yvonne Mon- geau, Nancy Taggart. and Alice Mitchell played on the basketball team. There were several girls in the chorus in the All-School Play. Also a quartet made up of Arnold Bowker, Lee Carpenter, Fred Timpany, and Thomas Smith sang 1 Love Geography. In our two years in the Junior High we hope we have made a favorable impression. And we shall continue to do our best for the school. Seventh Grade INoles Marilyn Sweiisoii, 7B When the new members of the seventh grade first came to Junior High, most of us liked the changes. A few of us got mixed up at first going from room to room. In October we made some booklets about Rip Van Winkle under the direction of Miss Cunneen, the Junior High English teacher. They contained a picture or two. an autumn poem, and the sum- marized story. Many of them were very well done. In November, on a Saturday, Mrs. Williams, the Junior High history teacher, took us on a guided tour to Plymouth. Our guide was dressed as a Pilgrim. We saw the first house, which had been built by the Plimoth Plantation, Inc., to look like the original houses built by the Pil- grims. The Plimoth Plantation is going to re- construct the Pilgrim village. Some of us took pictures of the places where we stopped. On the way back to Scituate we stopped at the John Alden House. It was a very interesting trip. In January 7A put on an assembly. It was conducted as a talent show. It was directed by Miss Giles, the Junior High math teacher. It showed that there is a great deal of talent in 7A. At another assembly 7B acted out a play called The Old Sleuth directed by Miss Vollnier, the Junior High geography and hygiene teacher. It was fun both to see and do. 16 LOOKING BACK SCITUATE HIGH — 1925 Muriel Nichols, 51 As the first half of the twentieth century rolls around, what better time is there than now to look back and recall the changes that have taken place within our school in the last half of this era. Try to imagine the school building as it was in 1925 — before the two wings were added. It was about one-third the size it is now. and com- prised only the present offices, the library, and Room 105, with the corresponding rooms on the second floor. The building consequently did not include the cafeteria, the gym, the shop, and the class rooms of the east wing. In addition to the main entrance, there were two side doors, one at either end of the building. The tall, square building entirely lacked the imposing appearance that it has today. Our present library-study used to be the as- sembly hall. There the students met for their opening morning exercises and what few assem- blies they had. Students who had study periods occupied empty seats at the rear of a room where a class was being held. This situation was often difficult for the teacher, who had to keep her eye on the study group while teaching the class. Pupils who find it hard to study in the quiet atmosphere of our study hall today would have been entirely lost then. A small library had been organized in 1924. and was situated in what is now the outer office. It contained comparatively few books, in con- trast to our library today, which has approxi- mately 1,700 well-chosen volumes. At that time the school gratefully received any contributions, and the Woman ' s Club, as well as others inter- ested in the school, contributed several volumes. Lockers were installed in 1925 for the first time for both girls and boys. Also the installa- tion of a fire alarm system in the town at this time enabled the school to arrange for the first no-school signals. The Household Arts classes were held in the Annex then, as now. There being no cafeteria, the students of these classes served one hot dish for lunch to as many pupils as could be accom- modated. In the fall of 1925 manual training was intro- duced in the school. The classes were held in the basement of the Annex, in the section that had previously been the coal bin. The eager students got together and cleaned it so they could set up shop. The manual training teacher also acted as part-time coach for boys ' sports. There were only 121 students enrolled in the school in 1925, and the graduating class con- sisted of only 18 members. Faculty members consisted of only seven full-time teach- rs. includ- ing the principal and submaster. with two super- visors employed part-time for music and art. Today the enrollment of the school is 400, in- cluding the seventh and eighth grade classes which are now in the building, and there are twenty full-time teachers. During these years there was not as much interest in college as there is today. Many stu- dents went to work as soon as they graduated, while others left before finishing school. For this reason a larger proportion took Commercial Course. Records show that the graduates of this course were in great demand and were given ex- cellent jobs. Activities were much more limited and less varied than they are now. The 1925 Chimes mentions only a Latin Club, and The Junior Scribblers, a club for commercial students. Looking at a 1950 Chimes, notice the many or- ganizations which provide extra-curricular acti- vities for students today. The most important activities of 1925 were the annual play and the musical productions. Under the direction of Miss Jeanne Bradford, the music supervisor, the students put on two outstanding musical comedies in 1925. Frills and Frolics and The Bells of Beaujolais. The boys ' and girls ' Glee Clubs took part in these productions, dressed in costume for the chorus, which sang the hits of the day, such as Sweet Georgia Brown. April Showers, ' and Al- ways. The Art Department designed the cos- tumes for the shows, and the girls in Household Arts made them. The class play was coached by the principal of the school. Sometimes the class voted for the members of the cast. Since there was no hall suitable for school performances, all the shows and plays were held at the Woman ' s Club or the Town Hall. Although there had been a few athletic teams for boys in previous years. 1925 was the starting date of sports at Scituate High with the shop teacher as coach. During this year the students organized the Athletic Association with the promise of an athletic field. The excellent field we have today was once rocky land, and the students themselves helped clear it when the work was first undertaken for the field. The money that was made from the school shows that year went to the Athletic Fund. Before 1925 the girls had no organized sports. cymes 17 It was ill this year that their first baskctl)all tcatji was formed. They played several {james with surrounding towns and won a remarkable num- ber for a new team. There was still no girls ' coach; the girls were led by their captain, who was in complete charge of the team. All home basketball games w( re played in the town hall. Graduation, then, was much like ours today except that the graduates did not wear caps and gowns. They had a banquet, a reception, and a trip similar to those of today. The reception for the graduates was practically the only dance that was held each year. Of the Class of 192,5. the majority are still liv- ing in Scituate. Most of the women of the class are married, among them the former Barbara Brown, Margaret Cole, Winifred Elliott. Velma Litchfield, Eulaila Pinkham, Elizabeth Scannell, W inifred Ward. Marion Damon, Mary Ford, and Grace Towle. Some have children now attend- ing Scituate High. Alice Sexton, the career woman of the class, is employed as assistant dietitian at the Worcester State Hospital. All but one of the men are in business in Scituate or liv- ing here. Daniel Appleton was formerly town engineer; Harold Burbank is owner of an oil burner and heating company; Herbert Cole is a radio engineer for Kelvin and White of Boston (Mr. Cole also has his own radio station in his home and has talked with people in 173 countries I; Benjamin Curran is a plumber with a. H. Harney Com|)any; John Ford is .Scituate ' s tree warden; Herbert Frye is employed at the Grossman Lumber Company in Quincy; Louis Haartz is director of maintenance at the R. H. White Co. in Boston; Edward McCarthy has his own plumbing business: and Leavitt Morris is travel editor of the Christian Science Monitor. Twenty-five years ago students did without much of the equipment and many of the activi- ties that we take for granted in school now. How- ever, they had just as much enthusiasm, school spirit, and school loyalty as we do today. There have been many changes in Scituate High School over the twenty-five years, but those who have graduated like those who will graduate, are proud to call it their Alma Mater. What Will S. H. S.

It is a definite goodbye to all the links of their child- hood. After June the graduates of the Class of 1950 will go their own separate ways. Some will enter college or business school in September. Other will find jobs. Scituate High School means more and more to its students as the years pass. Finally, when the goal of graduation is reached in what seems a magically short time, school days are over and become a thing of the past. All of the seniors today can look back to the good times they ' ve shared, the friends they ' ve met and the know- ledge they ' ve gained. They will be able to say with pride, 1 went to Scituate High. Maybe in ten years or even less, the people who are then students will look at some gradu- ate ' s picture and say 1 don ' t remember him. or, Isn ' t that so-and-so who graduated with the Class of . . . let me see, it was a long time ago. . . . perhaps it was the Class of 1949 or 1950. We may be just plain forgotten chapters in the school ' s history. Even so, now we are contribut- ing our part towards a better school, and no one can take away the things that we ' ve gained. The Chimes staff sincerely wishes the best of luck to this year ' s graduating class. May they be successful in the years to come. New Horizons Betty Miirrill, ' 50 As we. the Class of 1950. start down the path of life toward new horizons and leave behind us our happy, carefree days at Scituate High School, we are ending an integral part of our lives which will never be duplicated, will never be forgotten. However, the bright future is beckoning to us; and although we may look back with sadness in our hearts at our adolescent )ears, we must take the first steps toward adult- hood. Adulthood, at times, will mean hard work, anxiety, and even moments of sadness, while at others it may be an era of success and great hap- piness. We are, however, all starting out with clean slates — we are all facing a new horizon which, with perseverance and faith in God, we can turn into a bright horizon filled, like a rain- bow, with the multi-colored rays of peace, secur- ity and contentment. We, as a class, are fortunate, for at present we are not engaged in war. even though the dark clouds of Communism, starvation, strife, and persecution hang forebodingly over many coun- tries whose people have been reduced to serfdom. These impending problems offer a golden oppor- tunity to each and every one of us — an opportun- ity to use our minds and consciences to the best of our ability and to try to make a safer, more peaceful, more prosperous world in which our children will be happy and thankful to live. This era of unrest also offers us another chance — a chance to choose the right way of liv- ing and consequently to become clean, honest American citizens whose primary allegiance is to God and country, for we today are the citizens t)f tomorrow. By expressing useful opinions, by voting at each and every election, not for a friend but for the best candidate, and by backing the United Nations in order to estabish peace and security not only for the thiited States but for the whole world, we can truly perform our duties and hence successfully take a few strides along the path of good living. Accordingly we, the Class of 1950, leave our classmates, friends and teachers to step out into 19 tlu world and take our riglitful places. Tluis we slowl) move forward to tlie new liori ons of life, as the sun rapidly sets on our school (la s al Seituate High School. Forward forever — backward never! The Right Path Lois MerriM, ' .) How many students are thinking of tlie future? It is my opinion that n(.l evrn all the s iiiors know what they plan to do in life. There are several wa s in which high school students can obtain help in finding their voca- tions. One is by recognizing one ' s own natural talents. If someone is especially artistic, he should continue with art or he will never be wholly contented with his work. Also aptitude tests such as those administered at our school by Boston I Diversity aid students in finding their particular abilities. Reading is an excellent way to gain informa- tion about different types of work. Our school library contains many excellent books on voca- tions. Biographies of psrsons who have been successful in various businesses or professions may be verv inspirational too. The reader can discover fields that were perhaps previously un- known to him. One can also visit colleges or talk with persons who are authorities in the fields in which he is in- terested. It is advisable that everyone who plans to con- tinue with his education take the College Prepar- atory Course. Someone may say, I plan to be a secretary. What benefit will Latin and geo- metry be to me? There are two answers to this question. First, many secretarial schools, Kath- erine Gibbs for instance, prefer students with college preparatory foundation. In college, the secretarial studies will be taught. Secondly, as students get older thev may possibly find that another vocation better suits them. For example, a girl may wish to be a medical secretary. What then? Without biology she would have to take a special course to make up for the lack of the sub- ject. This, of course, means additional expens? and time. When the decision as to the future has be?n made, don ' t wait until the senior year to choose the college. The junior year is a good time to send for catalogs and to consider which school is best. Send applications in to the colleges as early as possible, too. Some colleges request that they be sent in at the end of the junior year or before. !Sow is the time for each one of us to tliink and plan for the future. The Privilege of School Loyalty Joan Kcllell, ' SO Fvery student in high school has the rare privilege this week of showing his allegiance to his school. Showing allegiance or, might we say. loyalty to our school is. in many ways, like show- ing faith in our church and even in our country. For the school is, in itself, a miniature nation with an executive, a common standard of rules, an organization furthering better cooperation between its individuals and teachers, and a ])r()- gram paralleling that of the Ihiited States with democratic principles and standards. The United States is noted for the high quality of its schools today. In fact, this country has the best eduational system of all the countries in the entire world. This system has been the result of the foundation which our forefathers so though- fully and carefully planned. We are deeply in- debted to these champions of education. No- where else in the world do so many people have equal opportunity to learn. Truly, our schools in America are one of the best examples of Amer- ican democracy that we have. But do we really appreciate our average high school today? Are we, the students of these many high schools, aware of this opportunity which has been so generously given us. We all read articles about upholding our democratic privileges and taking advantage of these oppor- tunities, but do we really go to school to increase our knowledge and to learn to become better citizens of tomorrow? Many times people take privileges for granted, not realizing opportuni- ties when they see them. Therefore, the schools of the United States aren ' t appreciated as they should be. Loyalty plays a big part in the advancement of our schools. Loyalty, itself, is a short word com- pared to all that it signifies. At first, when we s peak of loyalty to our school, we imagine our- selves energetically cheering at school athletic events, selling tickets or programs for the school, or joining more school organizations. Certainly, these are expressions of school loyalty, but isn ' t there more to it? Isn ' t loyalty also represented in our every-day contact with our teachers and by the fond memories we shall cherish long after we have graduated? Perhaps we should be aware of the deeper meaning of loyalty before we go any farther. It is very simple — helping our teachers: keeping up school work to the best of our capacity; giv- ing schoolmates a helping hand when thev are burdened with difficulties; being proud of the school itself and of all it stands for; joining in as many activities as we can possibly carry; and 20 realizing more fully the meaning of school spirit. All these give us the wonderful feeling of belong- ing. We begin to feel like part of the school; it becomes our second home and we enjoy living up to the standards we are trying to set. To be awarded a varsity letter or service pin is a great honor to the receiver. It stands for the recognition by the school of his loyalty and good sportsmanship: it also gives him the opportunity to realize that he has become part of the school which will mean so much to him as time goes on. On the whole, school spirit is closely connected with loyalty. The only difference is that school spirit is the action by which we show our school loyalty. Have you ever seen grown men take their hats off and stand solemnly when their school or college alma mater was played? If this isn ' t loyalty, what is it? Out of our loyalty, which has been the product of interest, enthusiasm, and school spirit, Avill grow a feeling of satisfaction which has no equal. We shall be proud of all that our school has stood for. and we shall always remember the little in- cidents which will make our school life come back to us in fond memory. Saturday Afternoon at the Movies from the Usher ' s Viewpoint Anne Nitzsche, ' 51 There is more to the job of ushering at the movies on Saturday afternoon than meets the eye. Here is an account of my weekly sojourn in — well, you read it and see what you think. Arriving at the theatre. I dash to the dressing room to lay aside my coat and don my uniform. As I cheerfully greet the manager, I am invari- ably confronted with the annoying question. Anne, where is your hat? I rush to put on that part of m uniform which is to cause me so much trouble, and then I )3repare to man my battle station at the head of the aisle. The doors are opened and the stampede is on. Would you please remove your hats, boys, is my first re- minder. Why do we have to? You re wearing one, is the answer. I wearily reply, You have to take off )our hats because all gentlemen do when they enter a theatre. You are gentlemen I hope, but I am not. When that is settled, my wary eyes spot iwo children fighting. Come on, stop your fight- ing, I bark. Then I duck some popcorn boxes that come flying from another direction. Who threw those? I angrily demand. When the cul- prit is found, I give him firm warning, and then I ' m off to find out who spilled a box of popcorn. Realizing by the expression on the boys ' faces that it was no accident, I hand the broom to the guiltiest-looking one, and the dustpan to his ac- complice with the firm command. Sweep it up! Finally the lights go off and the show is on amid wild cheering and shrill whistles which I try in vain to quell. Where do you want to sit? ' I inquire of some late stragglers. i h, where do vou want to sit? ' savs Jane to Mary. Well. I don ' t care. Wherever vou want is O.K. Is down front all right? Yah, but not too close. We ' ll sit down front, says Jane to me. O.K., says I untwiddling my thumbs. How ' s this? ' Well — what do you think? says Jane to Mary. Um, um. a little closer. So we proceed a little farther. How ' s this? I ask a little grimly. O.K. Ooh look. Mary! Bugs Bunny! Sh! I say, trying to tone down their squeals of glee. However, Bugs Bunny proves too fas- cinating to resist, so I start to walk backwards up the aisle, only to trip over a child who finds the floor more comfortable than a seat. Oh, I ' m sorry. Are you all right? is my anxious in- quiry. When I receive a disgruntled yes for an answer, I proceed to lecture the child. You mustn ' t sit on the floor. The next time somebody trips over you, you ' ll probably be hurt. Now, where were you sitting? With my sister. And where is your sister? I dunno. Well, come on, let ' s look for her. 1 don ' t wanna. Why? She hit me. Were you a bad boy? I only just put my gum in her hair. Well, let ' s go find her and tell her )ou re sorry. The brother and sister reconciled. I perk up my ears to find out where the talking is coming from. When I think I have found the source. I flash my light in that direction to find an irate woman returning my glare with equal hostility. I beg my pardon with alacrity. As 1 continue down the aisle, flashing my light on various offenders, a little girl comes up to me and says, I lost my money. Well, I ' ll help you find it. How much did you lose? 21 A nickel, she answers, with llii ' altiliidc of a martyr. So down 1 fjo to search amonj; the litter of bubble fjuni, caiuiy papers, and popcorn for that elusive nickel. Arc you sure it isn ' t in your pocket? 1 ask. Oh yes, I looked, is (he positive answer. Well, look again! With a sheepish grin she pulls forth the precious nickel. Suddenly. I claj) inv hands to niy head. Mv hat is gone. Casting at the child a glance which I hope she can ' t in- terpret, 1 start the search. When my hat is in its rightful |)lace, I set out to stop the racket which always arises when my back is turned. 1 separate two especially belligerent boys. During my travels up and down the aisle, I colled no less than three odd mittens, five hats, one jacknife, and six whistles. Finally the show is over and everyone leaves — everyone, that is, except me, one dog, one hysterical mother who can ' t find her son, one bawling boy who can ' t find his mother (fortunately they match I , nine children who can ' t find various articles. At last I trudge wearily home and sink into a chair. What are the first words that greet me? Anne, you forgot to clean your room. Do it inmiedi- ately ! Flying Cloud jack Stark, ' 51 A Yankee ship came down the river; Her spars were gold, her sails were silver. Her bow was sharp, her decks were clean; Of sailing ships she was the queen. Her captain, no doubt, was very proud, For this ship was the Flying Cloud. Early Life Saving Robert F raser, ' 51 Not many people know of the Coast Guard or of its origin ; they simply take it for granted. The Coast Guard was started in 1790 by Alexander Hamilton. At first it consisted of a few revenue cutters which were used to collect taxes evaded by the smugglers. Since then the activities of the Coast Guard have been extended until they now contain iceberg patrol, destroying derelicts, guarding convoy and keeping submarine patrol in time of war, and finally the activity that has made them famous — lifesaving. The lifesaving work of the Coast Guard didn ' t come until lt)48 when a lifeboat station was erected in New Jersey. The first lifesavers were the members of the Massachusetts Humane Society. This societ) was started in 1787 by Doctor Moyes, a blind phy- sician, with the help of a few of his friends. The first thing they did was to build houses of refuge for shi|)w recked survivors. The first four were built at Marshficld. Lymi, Lovell ' s Island, and Nantasket. These houses were so often ransacked by crooks that keepers had to be a.ssigned to them. During storms, boats were needed to assist the survivors to shore; so in 1807 the first life- boat was pla(;ed at the Cohasset station. This lifeboat proved so effective that by 1860 ninety- two similar stations had been erected along the coast. The greatest lifesaver of them all was Joshua James, who served in the Massachusetts Humane Society from the age of fifteen to his death. In those sixty years he saved over 700 persons from death. Joshua James ' s greatest accomplishment was during the Gale of 1888 when he rescued twenty-nine persons in below-freezing weather in twenty-four hours. The lifeboat station erected at Cohasset in 1807 is still standing. Its lifeboat, a whaleboat with cork floats, has long since rotted away. This station stands on a little rise off Atlantic Avenue. From the station you can see along Nantasket, over to Boston Harbor and up to Cape Ann, as well as parts of Inner Boston Harbor. Towards the East are the open sea, the Ghost Walk fog- bank, and Cape Cod. Down the coast can be seen the shore to Manomet Head. The land upon which the station stands is nothing but a rocky ledge; while out to sea are exposed rocks. These ledges must have given the lifesavers quite a time during bad storms. Little by little the Coast Guard bought up these Humane Lifeboat Stations for two reasons. One reason was that the Society couldn ' t keep the sta- tions well equipped; and the second reason, that the members were volunteers. As far as I know, none of these lifeboat stations have been torn down. Some are still standing and others have been rebuilt for the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard has proved to be needed just as much as an army or an air force. God Nancy D wight, ' 51 Who is God? What does He do? Where does He live? Does He know you? What does He love? What does He fear? What does He see? What does He hear? God is our Lord. Whom we all love. He has his own home, Which is up above. 22 iMe§ But though He ' s above. He knows what we do.

The cabin was very quiet as she lay comfortably in bed. She thought of the long and hard trip she. her mother, father, and little brother had gone through on the way from England to the newly-discovered America in the Mayflower. They had arrived safely and had begun a small settlement which they called Plymouth. There had been many hardships, but they had overcome them and it was all rather exciting. She remembered how later a group had decided to venture farther up the coast for better farming land. They found a good spot and made a settlement which they called Scituate. Now she could hear her father piling wood into the large fireplace. Her mother was up, and her little brother was crying. She jumped out of bed and hurriedly got into her clothes. Her bedroom was very cold, and her warming pan which heated her bed had become cold long ago. She went out to the large kitchen, the center of their family life. The fire was blazing, and wonderful aromas filled the kitchen. It was her job to go to the brook for water: so she started out. She came back to a wonderful breakfast of homemade bread, porridge, and milk from their old cow. After breakfast her father went into the forest to cut wood while she helped her mother with the baby and the chores. Everything was done by hand : so it took all morning to do the chores. After lunch it was time for school. School was held at the minister ' s cabin because as yet no school house had been built in the settlement. It was really quite a privilege for Mary to be able to go because girls usually were not allowed to go to school. But the people had permitted it because there were so few young girls in the settlement. It was a mile ' s walk to the minister ' s cabin. The subjects which were taught were reading, writing, arithmetic, and Latin. The teacher was very strict and before the afternoon was over someone would be sure to get a good strapping for misbehavior. At four o ' clock school was over and the long walk home was ahead of Mary. When she arrived home, her mother was al- ready preparing supper and she began making bread. After supper was time for relaxation. The fire was blazing and the room was warm. Her little brother was sleeping quietly, her mother was spinning, and her father was reading the Bible aloud while Mary listened attentively. When bedtime came, she got her warming pan, kissed her mother and father good night, and set off for her cold bedroom. She loved this new country and she was going to do all she could to help it to grow strong. THE TEST George Mitchell, ' 50 I was led into the room with my eyes covered by a blindfold. 1 wanted to forget the whole business and get away with my life, but it was too late. I was in their hands now. but I can ' t say that I didn ' t ask for it. I had been warned by many of my friends that 1 would be treated without mercy by these heartless creatures. Oh, how I longed for the solitude of my little room- ing house. But no. I had to aspire for bigger things: 1 thought that 1 could take some small discomfort in order to get the resulting honor. The discomfort did not seem so small to me now, but 1 had kept on where others had faltered, knowing that it would come to this. As I stood there, blindfolded, with the gang around me. I wondered what special kind of tor- ture would be inflicted on me. I had heard that the gang had ways of learning each person ' s special weakness or fear, and devised a torture that would play on this defect. 1 wondered if they knew mine. Some of the voices around me were strangely familiar. A very familiar voice, obviously heav- ily disguised said, Let ' s take him for an airplane ride. I felt like crying out in anguish. They had discovered my weakness! Since I was a boy. I had had a dread of high places: so you can imagine how I felt about an airplane ride! Besides, where were they taking me? Get in the plane, a gruff voice interrupted my thoughts. 1 was led to the plane, and told to step up. Two of the mobsters allowed me to steady myself by resting my hands on their shoulders. I stepped on something that seemed like a board of some sort. Hold on to our shoulders, for you ' re going up, said one of the men. Suddenly 1 felt the plane lift off the ground. I wasn ' t worried until the shoulders I was lean- ing on began to slip farther and farther below, so that 1 could no longer rest on them, and I had to balance myself as best I could. Then the plane started rocking precariously. Hold ' er steady, pilot. I said, in an obviously shaky voice. I then got an indication of how high I was, for my head hit the ceiling with a solid thuin|). Now, jump! a stern voice conim.iiKlcd. Were they crazy? I could hi- killed if I juinpcd six feet or more blindfolded. Jump! the voice reiterated. This was llie end. 1 knew 1 would I ' ve lo rue the da 1 had got mixed up in this, hut 1 hadn ' t dreamed of such deadly results. I had lo jump. As I jumped. I wondered how long it would be before 1 hit the floor, a mass of broken bones. M) death leap came to an abrupt hall, however, for no sooner had I jumped, than 1 Imded on the floor. 1 lost my balance and fell. My blindfold was released amidst cries of Welcome to our fraternity! So I had passed! The first thing that I wanted to see. however, was how 1 had been fooled. M plane was an ironing board, now being held a few inches off the floor by two kneeling boys. So that was why the shoulders had sunk beneath me. One of my friends was sheepishly standing by with the ceiling I had hit. a piece of board. Well, now that 1 have passed the test, maybe it was worth it after all. Loyalty to Our School Hu h McAvenia, 7B The loyalty which a true friend has for us is what makes life worthwhile. The loyalty which we have for our school is what makes the school worthwhile. Too often we think of school as something which we must endure, and we fail to enjoy all the benefits which school offers us. We get out of life just what we put into it. If we are not loyal to our friends, we do not expect them to be loyal to us. But we do not think of our school as a friend. Actually, however, it is a friend and a true one. If we are loyal students while in school, we can expect the scho ol to stand by us later when we are in need of recommenda- tions. Our record is established and if it is a good one, we stand to gain by it. How can we be loyal to our school? This is a question for which we should all have an answer. The first thing we think of is supporting our ath- letic teams. This is probably the easiest way in which we can be loyal, especially if we happen to have a winning team. It isn ' t always so easy if our team is losing. But supporting the team is not our only chance to show our school spirit. We can sell magazines in the yearly drive. Most of the money brought in during this drive is earned by a small percent of the students. If more boys and girls felt it their duty to support the drive, we would all profit. .School dances, the Student Association, and plays shouhl also be attended if we wish to show our loyalty. We should always protect school property and remend)er that as future taxpayers, we will sup- |)ort the schools. We can also avoid throwing papers about the school grounds. Many people in town who never see the inside of our schools, enjoy the attractive grounds about the school buildings. Our sense of loyalty must extend to our class- mates and teachers. It is oidy by co-operating with them all that we can get the most out of our years in school. March Cynthia Heniii an, 7 A When the cold March winds come blowing around, the last heavy snow is lying on the ground atid the little green buds are coming through the blanket of snow. The warm sun ' s rays melting the ice let the little brooks flow free. Then we all know that spring is near. Lawson Tower Evelyn Jenney, ' 52 O Lawson Tower, strong and bold, You stand through wind and rain and cold. Ever a symbol of steadfast duty Said by men to possess great beauty, A landmark famous far and near. Standing always lofty and clear. 0 Lawson Tower, strong and bold. May your beauty ne ' er grow old. The Study Hour Richard Preston, 51 Between the math and the French class When the morning is part way o ' er, Comes a lift in the day ' s occupation, That is known as the Study Hour. There was many a long winter evening In the days that used to be, When, with studying done, my mind was at rest. But that was before TV. Now with my French, math and Hawthorne While I stick to iny room like a slave. My mind strays at times to my living room And it ' s TV that I crave. Now there ' s often some unfinished business, 1 should do a little bit more. That ' s why 1 salute you — Oh precious. Life-saving Study Hour. 24 SCHOOL NEWS Faculty Changes We were very glad to welcome back to S. H. S. Mr. Norman Walker, who teaches mathematics in the Senior High, and Miss Carol Vollmer. who teaches geography and hygiene in the Junior High.

School Loyalty Week This year, for the first time, Loyaltv Week or ' ' Blue and White Week, was observed at Scituate High School. Originated and planned by the Student Council, it was a great success. All school organizations backed this venture one hundred per cent. The Key Club sponsored a photo contest. Pro Merito and the Student Coun- cil backed the Poster and Essay Contests, and the Students Association gave its annual dance to climax the week. Each student, as part of the week, was re- quested to write an essay on school loyalty. In the Senior High. Joan Watts was awarded first prize, and Joan Kettell, second prize. In the Junior High, the winner was Priscilla Rand, and the runner up. Hugh McAvenia. The first prize essays were read at an assembly; the other two are printed in this issue of the CHIMES. In the Poster Contest, Elizabeth Grassie won first prize, and Evelyn Hatch second in the Senior High. In the Junior High, Fred Gleason and Norman Walker won the prizes for first and second respectively. In the Photo Contest three prizes were award- ed, the first to James Milroy, the second to Mary Jane Stewart, and the third to Stanley McAvenia. Blue shields were made for all the home rooms and other places in the building. Besides those, the entries for the Poster Contest were also distributed among the rooms. Small blue and white emblems bearing the school seal were pro- vided for all students to wear. Assemblies began and ended the week with student and faculty 25 spoaktMs giviiif; iiiforniatioii and speeches alxdil Loyally Week. To wind up the week llic annual S. A. Dance was held. Blue and white dccoi alions were used to feature the school colors. The Scituate Hif;h School Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Alperl, played for the dance. Since Loyalty Week is to he an annual event, it is hoped that in the years to follow it will he even more successful. New possihilities will he considered and added for next year ' s School Loyalty Week. Oratorical Contest Scituate participated in the American Legion Oratorical Contest again this year. The try-outs for the winner at the Scituate High School were held in the study hall on January 23, 1950. Those competing were Charmaine Witt and George Mitchell, seniors: and Lois Merritt and Muriel Nichols, juniors. The judges for this first elimination were Mrs. Williams, Miss Vinal. Miss Dudley, and Mr. Walker. Charmaine Witt was unanimously chosen to represent the school at the district meeting at Barnstable, competing against contestants from Rockland. Brockton. Hingham. Marthas Vine- yard, and Barnstable. She was accompanied b the Scituate High School principal. Mr. George A. J. Froberger: her coach. Miss Eleanor Gile: and her classmate, Janet Best. Charmaine ' s oration, which was entitled The Rights and Responsibilities of an American Citi- zen, ' was very well-written and well-delivered. Assemblies 1949 • 1950 Under the sponsorship of the special assemblies committee, such well-known performers as Cap- tain James Coletta of the O. S. S. and the ' Trampoline Stars have been presented to the student body this year. In September at our first regular assembly, Mr. Froberger presided. After the opening ex- exercises he introduced the speakers, who ex- plained the advantages of membership in the Student Association and urged 100 per cent en- rollment. The speakers at the assembly included Mr. Stewart: George Mitchell, president of the Student Council; Carol Stearns, editor-in-chief of the Chimes: and Edward Hennigan of the football squad. Mr. Alpert. band director, closed the meeting. At another assembly in September. Miss Voll- mer of the Junior High gave a very interesting lecture on Alaska, where she taught last year. She showed colored slides of Alaska and of her trip home. The month of October brought two fine as- semblies, one by the Mathcmatii;s Department and the other by the English Department. Mr. Walker ' s students from the various math classes who participated in the assembly were Joan Walts. Robert Burbank. Charmaine Witt. Robert Lee. Barbara Cole. Bruc ' Wv nian. Aim Nitzsche. Patricia Hobson. Lois Merritt. and Bertie Jean Walker. The English assembly was in observance of Book Week. Those taking part in this as- sembly were Betty Murrill, Carol Stearns. Jane Flaherty, Muriel Nichols, Barbara Prouty, Frank Duval. Ronald Duval. Eugene Cohen, and Harold McAvenia. In commemoration of Columbus l)a a Junior High assembly was pre-ented under the direction of Mrs. Williams. The following students parti- cipated in the assembly: aimouncer, Priscilla Rand; salute to the flag and The Star Spangled Banner, Teddy Timpany: Bible reading, Gail Purslow: Proclamation.

Nanc) Taggart and Peter Sharp; poem, Thomas Smith: Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean, played by Richard Prouty on the trumpet; talks on hobbies — dolls, Patricia McAuliffe; arrow heads, Diane Sherman; and fishing. Stafford Short. In November we had an assembly observing Armistice Day at which our guest speaker was Mr. John Parker of Rockland. Virginia Cole read the Governor ' s Proclamation, and Pauline Hunter and Glenn Wilder read original essays. Miss Vinal was in charge of this program. Also in November the Secretarial Department under the direction of Miss Hawkes put on a very fine demonstration of typing and shorthand in which the whole class took part. The House of Magic was one of the high- lights of the year. This spectacular show was presented by the General Electric Company on November 29. The many mystifying demonstra- tions under the able direction of Mr. William Hoverman were enthusiastically received. Many hundreds of dollars worth of equipment was used on the stage. On December 22 a Christmas assembly which will be long remembered was presented by Miss Reynolds and Mr. Alpert. with the help of the girls chorus and the band. After a brief intro- duction by the narrator, Robert Burbank, the traditional Christmas carols were sung as var- ious scenes from the Nativity were presented. Special scenery and lighting effects were used. There was a solo by Charles Valine, and a duet by David LaVange and Robert Browne. In January, the Junior High had a talent show under the direction of Miss Giles. Gail Brazilian was mistress of ceremonies. Judy Burke and 26 Martha Laidlaw played piano solos. Larry Easier and William Gleason sang a duet; and Douglas Dooner played on the clarinet, among other features. During the winter season we were fortunate in having Charmaine Witt present to the student body the speech which she was to deliver in the American Legion Oratorical Contest in Febru- ary. This assembly was put on by the social studies classes under the direction of Miss Vinal for the observance of Lincoln ' s and Washing- ton ' s birthdays. Other students taking part were Fannie Whorf, Jeanne Dwyer, and Glea Cole. In March, 7B put on a humorous play The Old Sleuth which concerned a group of Junior High School boys who try their hand at being detectives. The cast consisted of Richard Mitch- ell, Robert Stewart, Norman Walker, Marilyn Svenson. David Petri. Joe Oliver. Jane Muller. Diane Burnham. Jackie White and Carol Merritt. Gail McCarthy was the announcer of the pro- gram; and Miss Vollmer, the director. In May Miss Riggs gave us a very interesting lecture on places in Europe she has visited, show- ing her own pictures. Following the various athletic seasons, special assemblies were held to award the members of the boys ' and girls ' teams their earned letters and certificates of merit. Also service pins were awarded the office girls, the librarians, and those vho sold tickets at games. Several assemblies were planned to help us irvlan for the future. A guidance assembly was held at which the films Finding Your Work and The Wood-Worker ' were shown. We had L nfinished Rainbow as part of the Household Arts Assembly. The Household Arts girls also presented a series of scenes showing correct and incorrect behavior in various situations. After a view of the assemblies of the school year of 1949 and 1950. it certainly cannot be said that they lack variety. And we give our thanks to those who either participated in. or made these assemblies possible. 27 HONOR ROLL Tilt ' fdllow in i names appealed on periods. lie lioiioi ' roll once or more in the first three inarkinu Jost ' pliiiii ' I ' liniri Patricia llolisdii Juan Kftlfll Namy Litclilicld Katlilccn .Manning; Elizal)ctli Mtirrill ! iisan Anderson jolin Cahir Kugene Colien I.ois Merrill llaroid McAvenia Robert Morrow Anne Nilzsche Joyce Bamber Robert Browne Ricbard Clapp Ann Dacey High llonurs Elizabeth Grassie — (iradc J- Honors Marfiarel Noble Jan.- Nord I ' enelcipe Rieli (!ari)l Sicarns Donna iei ery (iiiarniaine Witt Honors Seoll Roberts Mary Jane Stewart Ida Vespaziani I ' eler Virtue Fannie Wborf Bruee Wynian Honors Shirb-y Fitts Barbara Hunter Evelyn Jenney Barbara Prouty GRADE 12 elina b(du Naney Breen Cliarles Malion Honoral)le Mention (ieorfie Milebell Clifford Tyler Ralph Z.dlin GRADE 11 Honorable Mention Slieila Brifil Mary Brow Rol),rt Jeanni- GRADE 10 Buri ank Dwyer Pauline Hunter diaries Mitcbell James Milroy Wallace Spear Honorable Mention Judith Bernard Marilyn Dyer Richard Hatch Claire Hayward John Kettell Sara Lee Carol Litclifield Priseilla Merritt Robert Mitchell Helen Murphy Betsy Rice Janet Sternfelt Ronald Sustana Carol Walsh Aram Brazilian Kenneth Brebner Donald Jenney Peter Palmer Honors Suzanne Tatigart Neil Towle Karl Virtue GRADE 9 Honorable Mention Matthew Brown Robert Call Mary Goodnow Robert Harris Dorothy Kane Edgar Locklin Richard Loughman Joan McEleney Douglas Mendell Neil Murphy Arline Nichols John Nitzsche Joseph Noble Walter Stewart GRADE 8 Martha Burrows Phyllis Cahoon ( ladys Clapp James Denker Fred Gleason Jane (iraham Richard Green Mary Marsh Bessie Mayo Carolvn Baniber Paul Berg Letitia Bernard Gail Brazilian Phyllis Clark Lilla Fleming Carol Merritt Honors Ruth Mitchell Diane Proutv Priseilla Rand Peter Sharp Diane Sherman Maureen Stark Mildred Sylvester Thomas Whittaker Honors Richard Mitchell irginia Rinehart Robert Stewart -Marilyn Svenson Mary Sweener Norman Walker Honorable Mention Charles Gotldard John Locke Yvonne Mongeau Sara Paul Richard Prouty Gail Purslow Barbara Ryan Nancy Taggart GRADE 7 Honorable Mention Allan Bates Carolyn Locklin Gail McCarthy Peter Stewart Jacklyn White 28 STLDENT COUNCIL First Row: D.

STUDENT COUNCIL- 1949 - 1950 Betty Murrill, ' 50, Secretary o N September 28, 1949, the Student Council of Scituate High School began their activi- ties by holding their first meeting under the supervision of Mr. George Froberger and Miss Esther Harrington, advisers. The members for this year are as follows: Seniors — George Mitch- ell, president; Betty Murrill, secretary; Penny Rich, Robert Lee, Carol Stearns, Donna Vickery, Joan Kettell. Juniors — Eugene Cohen, vice-pres- ident; Elliott Barrett. Scott Roberts, Joseph Cerilli. Sophomores — Edward Stewart, treas- urer: Barbara Prouty. Richard Clapp. Fresh- men — Elizabeth Grassie. Peter Palmer. Grade 8 — Charles Goddard. Grade 7 — Richard Mitchell. Most of the Council ' s activities were carried out by special committees, which were respons- ible for locker room inspection, football rallies, special assemblies, ways of raising money, the S. A. Dance, and school spirit. In addition to these activities, other projects were undertaken. For the first time in the history of our school, the Student Council formulated the school calendar in order to give all the stu- dents notice of coming events and ample time in which to make necessary preparations. Prior to this, the calendar had been drawn up by the school principal. A school handbook fund was also inaugu- rated by the Council. This handbook would con- tain school regulations, lists of societies, activities and other data; and it therefore is hoped that this project will soon be successfully completed. The climax of the Student Council ' s activities was School Loyalty Week, which was held from March 14 through March 17 in order to promote school loyalty, foster cooperation be- tween faculty and students, and show all pupils what Scituate High School should mean to them. During this week, essay, poster, and photography contests were held; school insignia were given to all students, and the S. A. Dance was held to climax the week. As the work of the 1949-19.50 Student Coun- cil draws to a close, all members earnestly hope that next year ' s Council will endeavor to carry on and further Student Council activities.

In order to earn money to pay for the ceremonial gowns, a successful food sale, directed by Betty Murrill. was held on December 3. We also made money this year by selling Scituate pins at the Thanksgiving Day football game. A inid-season, private induction ceremony was held at the Scituate High School auditorium in February to allow any qualifying members of the Senior Class to enter the Pro Merito Society before the school year ended in June. The only member was George Mitchell. In June, another induction will be held in a school assembly for the eligible inembers of the Class of ' 51. This is the second year that the Pro Merito Society has been organized, and already it is proving itself to be a valuable asset to Scituate High School and its students. 30 KEY CLUB First Row: C.

BAND AND ORCHESTRA Lois Merritt, ' 51 THIS yeav. under the sup rvisioIl of Mr. Alpert. both the band and orchestra have continued to show improvement. The band in particular has increased in both the number and the perform- ance of its players. At football games the band was really spec- tacular marching down the field headed by five peppy drum majorettes. In addition to perform- ing at all the home games, the band played at three out-of-town football games. The band has performed at several other im- portant events this year. The Christmas assembly would not have been complete without the band to provide the music. At the Jamboree in Plv- mouth, our band was one of the largest and best. The band played several selections at the annual concert on May 5. The orchestra, which has been increasing also, has played at many assemblies during the year. Barbara Cole attended the New England Music Festival held at West Springfield, Mass. After graduation the band and orchestra will lose one trumpet player, one trombone player, and two violin players. Fortunately both or- ganizations will gain new members from the Junior High. This spring a whole troupe of drum majorettes is expected to be organized. The band and orchestra are both verv impor- tant organizations of Scituate High. 7 ALL-SCHOOL PLAY Barbara Cole, ' 50 ' On a bicycle built for two. ' The lilting, gay tune of this song came floating from the Scituate High School Auditorium on November 18, the night of our All-School Play. A chorus of girls dressed in old-fashioned clothes sang this song along with several other old tunes in our pro- duction, Gay Nineties Fun. Included in the program were the Barber Shop Quartet, consist- ing of Robert Snow. Thomas Snow, Elliott Bar- rett and Arthur Daneau. and the Beauty Shop Quartet made up of Charmaine Witt. Joan Kettell. Fannie Whorf and Ida Vespaziani. Little Joseph Oliver of the Junior High presented a tap dance specialty. Ruth LaVange, Robert Lee, Charmaine Witt, Bruce Wyman, Robert Burbank and Carol Stearns were cast in a melodrama. Love Will Win. or The Villain Outwitted. Remember Bob as the notorious villain and Carol, his fellow conspirator? Stage manager Ronald Duval and prompter Barbara Cole assisted the cast. A square-dance was then presented, with the set tired but happy at the finish. A short skit, with George Mitchell, Neil Murphy. Glenn Wilder. Donald Jenney and Kenneth Roberts, called Watch-Fob Minstrels was presented with Priscilla Merritt prompting. Last but not least came The Four Little Dunces ' — Arnold Bow- ker, Lee Carpenter, Thomas Smith and Teddy Timpany to sing T Love Geography. In the grand finale the entire cast sang Home Sweet Home Around the World. This production was ably directed by Miss Eleanor Gile. Miss Ger- trude Reynolds and Mr. Harold Alpert.

As usual the group was divided into three units: junior-senior girls, freshman-sophomore girls, and boys. Many activities have helped to make this year ' s glee club enjoyed by all members. The All-School Production, the Gay Nineties Review. provided excellent opportunities for all interested in displaying their talents. Included in the show were a beauty-shop quartet, a barber- shop quartet, a duet, and two soloists as well as a large Gibson Girl chorus. At Christmas, two major singing groups gave performances. Members of the Woman ' s Club were entertained by about twenty girls from the Glee Club. As part of our own Christmas As- sembly, fifteen senior girls took part in an effec- tive tableau, singing carols. A small group of girls sang over Station WBET in Brockton as part of Scituate High School ' s program on March 11. In May, an annual spring concert was held with boys and girls taking part. Another group of talented singers from our school took part in a music scholarship contest sponsored by the Village Singers of Hanover, in early spring. This year ' s singers at graduation and Baccal- aureate were the junior and sophomore girls. As a diversion from singing, several trips were made by some of the girls and Miss Reynolds to Boston, such as to see and hear the Vienna Choir Boys, the Boston Pops, and a voice re- cital. On the whole, the Glee Club enjoyed a profitable and entertaining year. 5P0RTS 1949 FOOTBALL SciTUATE High had a very successful football season in 1949. The Sailors. after tying for two years, won the South Shore Champion- ship. Despite injuries suffered by eight seniors, the team managed to take the games that counted, thus winning the coveted championship. The opening game was played at Scituate against St. Patrick s High of Watertown. The Sailors were out to avenge the defeat suffered at the hands of the Saints the previous season. In the first few minutes of the game Howie Cole ran the ball to pay dirt for Scituate: and the Sailors led 6-0 until the remaining few minutes of the last quarter, when Scituate took possession in the shadow of its own goal. Coach Stewart, fearing a fumble or a block punt, ordered Howie Cole to kneel with the ball behind the goal line. This gave St. Patrick ' s a safety for two points and also the privilege of putting the ball in play on the Sailor ' s 20-yard line. However, the good defensive play which prevailed through the entire game saved the game for Scituate. and they came off the field the winners by a score of 6-2. The next game was also at home. This time it was the Blue Devils ' of Stetson High. Ran- dolph who invaded Scituate. The highly-touted Devils proved no match for the Sailors. Good defensive play enabled the Sailors to wrap this one up too. Jack Breen intercepted a flat pass and ran it all the wav for a touchdown. Tonnnx Snow and Gene Cohen broke into the scoring col- umn with one mark each. Sonny Parker, play- ing his usual great game, recovered the ball in the end zone for two points, this time for Scit- uate. Charlie Mitchell and his radar-controlled toe picked up two points on conversions. The Sailors took their second game in a row. by the impressive score of 22-0. The third game was played with Rockland High at Rockland. Scituate ' s hopes of making it three wins straight were shattered at this game. Charles Mahoii, ' 50 Still minus the services of Howie Cole, the Sail- ors gave Rockland a good battle, and the Shoe- towners had to come from behind twice to take the game. The first T.D. came when Tommy Snow snagged a long pass from Ned Hennigan and raced to pay dirt. The conversion was missed, but the Sailors were in front 6-0. The remainder of the half saw Rockland pick up two T.D. ' s and one extra point, and Scituate gained another mark but no point. The second Scituate score was made on a running play by Ned Hen- nigan. The second half saw Rockland net two T.D. ' s and one point for the final score of 26-13 in favor of the Rockland eleven. The next game was with Marshfield on our home territory. As this was the first League game, both teams were out to win it. Scituate drew first blood in the game when Tom Snow grabbed a Hennigan pass after it had been de- flected by a Marshfield player, and stepped over for a score. The conversion was missed and the score stood 6-0. It was a see-saw battle until the second half when Eddie Stewart, carrying the ball, eluded several tacklers and scored for Scit- uate. Charlie Mitchell made the point, and the score stood 13-0. Marshfield then broke into the scoring column for six points, and that ended the scoring. It was a good defensive game from the Sailors ' point of view and a good one to win. The final score was Scituate 13. Marshfield 6. The following game was with Millis High at Millis. This was the first offensive game played by Scituate. Scituate got the jump on Millis and was never headed. Tom Snow scored three touchdowns: Eddie Stewart and Ned Hennigan each scored one: Charlie Mitchell kicked two points. After Scituate was well out in front, the reserves were sent in. Thev proved that Scituate should have some good teams for the next three ears at least. Millis broke into the scoring column for two T.D. ' s. but they missed the extra 35 KOOI 15AI.L FiHST Row: I).

In this game Scituate scored first but missed the extra point. Things looked pretty good for the Sailors for a time: then Sonny Parker, who was playing a great game at end. was forced to retire from the game with a cracked fore-arm. Nantucket then proceeded to score, and at the half the score was 7-6 in favor of the Islanders. The score re- mained this way until the last quarter when the Islanders scored another T.D. to make the score 13-6. A second Scituate injury occurred when Bruce Donlan was hit while running and forced to retire with a slight concussion. The Sailors had to accept the second defeat of the season, for the game ended Nantucket 13, Scituate 6. On Armistice Day, Scituate played Hanover High at Hanover in the second League gaiTie of the year. The first half saw no scoring by either side, but great defensive play was shown l)y Scituate. Hanover scored a mark in the third quarter. It looked as though the game would end with the score 6-0 until Scituate switched to the T formation and Tommy Snow scored on an off-tackle run. The conversion was missed and the score stood tied 6-6. Before the game ended, the Sailors got possession of the ball again, and it looked as though they might score. On fourth down with seconds left to go. a field goal was attempted b) Scituate. but it was wide. The game ended before the bail could be put back in play and the score stood knotted 6-6. This game was played without the services of iiowie Cole. Bruce Donlan, Glenn Parker, John Smith, and Forrest King who were sidelined with injuries. The final gaine of the season was also the inost crucial. If the Sailors beat Cohasset, they would win the South Shore Championship. Cohasset was undefeated and Scituate had lost two and tied one. It was a good hard game from the start. .Scituate scored first when Ned Hennigan ran the ball over for a T.D. Mitchell booted the extra point, and the score stood 7-0 in favor of Scitu- ate. The half ended with the same score. In the ihird quarter it looked as though Cohasset would score, but once again the mighty Scituate defense came through and saved the day. In the fourth quarter Howie Cole, who had been sidelined throughout most of the season because of an ' injured knee, was sent in to take Hank Cusick ' s place at quarterback. Howie, despite his injured leg. came through with a beautiful run that en- abled Ned Hennigan to pass to Frank Duval, who made a circus catch to score. This put the Sailors out in front 13-0. Cohasset scored one touch- down to let the Sailors know they were still in the game: but the game ended with the Sailors taking it and the Championship by a score of 13-6. Scituate finished the season with five wins, two losses, and one tie. Next year ' s team will be minus the st-rvices of eight men who retire due to graduation. Glenn Parker. Ned Hennigan. Howard Cole. Frank Duval. Forrest King. Bruce Donlan, Cliff Tyler, and John Smith will be missed badly, but the new group coming uj) should prove a good team for the 1950 season. 36 BOYS ' BASKETBALL First Row: A. Diinphy, E. Hennigan, F.

SCITUATE BASKETBALL Artie Dunphy, ' 51 THE 1950 boys basketball season on the South Shore was lop-sided with Kingston and Dux- bury monopolizing the win column, and teams like Norwell, Cohasset, Pembroke, and Sciluate leading in the loss column. Though the season record shows only three wins against seven de- feats, the boys played some good games in both winning and losing. Added experience was also gained to put them on the top of the league next year. Five S.H.S. lettermen return next season, and with Kingston and Duxbury losing their first teams by graduation Scituate stands a good chance in 51. The loss of Duval, Hennigan. Donlan. and Fernandez will hurt the cause, but out of the five lettermen returning three are sophomores, and two juniors. The sophomores are Ralph Cole. Ed Stewart, and Donny Shea: the juniors are Bruce Wyman and Artie Dunphy. Other returning members of the Varsitv Squad are Hank Cusick. Paul Green, sophomores: and Joe Cerilli, a junior.

FIELD HOCKEY Susan All THE Scituate field hockey team has once again been honored with the title of South Shore Chairtpions. Under the capable coaching of Miss Riggs. the girls had a perfect record and enjoyed an undefeated season. Until the Hingham game, they were unscored upon. However, this was the only time a team had a chance to score on the strong, speedy Scituate team. Scituate drove the ball into the opposing teams ' goal 29 times, while the opponents only managed to score once against Scituate. Malba Chase, our hard driving center, was high scorer. The team was invited to compete in four games at Concord on October 8. There, they were vic- torious over Natick High and Mary C. Wheeler Academy. The games played against Abbot Academy and Marblehead High both resulted in scoreless ties. The hardest and most decisive game of the season was at Marshfield. where we played against an experienced, undefeated team. The Scituate girls came up with a 2-0 victory, thus spoiling Marshfield ' s record for the year and their chance to tie for the championship. Ann Brow, manager, and Ellen O ' Neil, assist- ant manager, should receive much credit for the (lersoii, ' 51 long hours of work they gave to help make the team ' s season a success. The varsity lineup this year was as follows: M. Chase Ico-capt. ), center: J. Carlson, r. inner: S. Brigham. r. wing: S. Anderson. 1. inner: N. Breen. 1. wing. Ico-capt. I: K. Manning, center half back: R. Manning, r. half back: J. Perry. 1. half back: M. J. Stewart, r. full back; H. Murphy. 1. full back: and J. Castles, D. Vickery, substitutes. The second team always seems to be forgotten when it conies time for congratulations. They should be commended for their good appearance on the hockey field. Out of the J. V. field, sev- eral future varsity stars give promise of a suc- cessful career at positions on next year ' s team that will be left vacant by five graduating mem- bers of this year ' s varsity. The members of the second team are J. Dw ight, J. Flaherty, M. Browne, S. Pettersen, S. Taggart, M. Burrows, Y. Mongeau. A. Breen. D. Prouty, P. O ' Keefe, N. Taggart, J. Dwyer. and B. Prouty. We hope that at the end of next year ' s season, we will be able to say, They ' re still the champ- 99 ions. imes 39 GIRLS ' BASKETBALL First Row: B. Cole, V. Ahola, M. Chase, K. Manning, N.

This year ' s season was a bright one with a record of 7 wins and 3 losses. However, the girls, in spite of their skill, could not quite attain their goal, the South Shore Championship. Nevertheless, the season was an enjoyable and eventful one. Scituate totaled 298 points to their opponents ' 227. Malba Chase led the team in the scoring department with 134 points, followed by Nancy Breen with 78 points and Joan Perry with 33. The high light of the year came when the girls played their last game at Hanover. Everyone will agree that this was the most thrill-packed game of the year. Until this last game, the Han- over girls had been undefeated and had already acquired the much-sought South Shore title. Throughout the game the score wavered, but finally ended with Scituate ' s beating the un- defeated champs by a very close margin of 29-2 ' ). Manv factors contributed to the success of the season. Despite the loss of seven of last year ' s lettermeii, there were many experienced players to take over vacant positions: and those who did not make the first team provided the varsity with excellent opposition at practice. Not to be for- gotten are Betty Murrill, manager; and Carol Walsh and Virginia Cole, assistant managers, who showed their efficiency throughout the whole season. The second team did not have too much luck this year, having three luckless defeats. But in spite of this, many of the second team members showed promising talent and several will un- doubtedly be seen in first team games next year. The following girls were awarded varsity letters for the ' .50 season : V. Ahola, N. Breen, M. Chase, B. Cole, M. Noble, K. Manning (capt. l. S. Anderson, J. Carlson. M. J. Stewart, R. Mann- ing. H.

SPRING SPORTS Susan Anderson, ' 51 As spring comes around the corner once again, we take time out to look at the spring sports, Softball and tennis. Last year the softball team had rather an un- successful season with a number of should-be- forgotten defeats. But the team have determina- tion to better their record of last year. Last year ' s team members had some natural softball abilities but were not the well-seasoned ball players that are needed to win games. Inasmuch as the team lost only two players last spring, we are confident that the valuable experience gained by the veteran players and their un- daunted spirit should give Miss Riggs a success- ful team. Tennis had a good season last year. This sport is beginning to attract more attention than be- fore, and we hope that it will soon become more important in the field of sports. Three graduating members of the team will be greatly missed, but Miss Riggs has several letter men returning from whom she will build her ' 50 teain. Both teams are striving to equal the records of the hockey and basketball teams, and with hard work and team spirit they should make their goal. 41 CHEERLEADERS First Row: J. Castles, C. Witl, E. O ' Neil. Second Row: P. Rich. S. Brighatn, G. Gleason, M. Stewart, D. Vickery. CHEERLEADERS Penny Rich, 50 A common ambition of practically all the junior and senior girls is to be a cheerleader. Probably their first thought is of all the fun they would have, letting loose with all their energy when Scituate scores a touchdown, getting into all the games free of charge, going to all the away games by bus and especially that week-end trip to Nantucket. Hardly ever do their thoughts fall to the less dazzling side of cheerleading. such as those long, daily workouts in the fall until you ' re ready to drop, or the stiff muscles that result after the first few days of practice, or doing three or four energetic cheers one right after the other till there ' s no breath left in you. The per- son who is picked for cheerleader really has a job ahead of her, believe it or not. This year we had two groups of cheerleaders, one for football and one for basketball. Both sets were hard workers and really got good re- sults when the time came to cheer. For football. Scituate High School was represented by Char- maine Witt, leader; Donna Vickery, Penny Rich, Sheila Brigham. Mary Jane Stewart, and Gerry Gleason. Practically every afternoon during the fall these girls could be seen outdoors practicing every cheer until it was perfect. The results showed, too, at the games as the girls put every- thing into the cheers. The group picked for basketball cheerleading kept four former ones. Donna, Penny. Gerry, and Charmaine. and added two new ones, Joan Castles and Ellen O ' Neil. These girls worked just as hard to get in shape for the basketball season and showed up as well as the first group did. The practice quarters were rather cramped, though, since the cafeteria was the only place free. But ask any of these girls if cheerleading was worth the hard work and the answer will be yes! This year ' s cheerleaders really rate a good hand for all the hard work they ' ve done. Let ' s hope next year ' s are as good.
