Some of us are eager with anticipation as we are preparing to enter a new phase of life; while others are still doubtful as to what the future may hold. We will soon be absorbed in new work and activities, but no matter how many years may elapse, we shall always retain in our minds certain memories of S. H. S., where we have probably experi- enced some of the best years of our lives. The years have flown swiftly by since we entered the senior high school as freshmen in 1947; and now that the time is here, it seems unbelievable that it is our turn to graduate. Our school years have been filled with work and activities, but I ' m sure that we all agree that this, our senior year, has been the most exciting and eventful. Cramming for tests, slaving over math and history, getting book reports in on time, and performing all the other little necessities which make school what it is, did not stop us from enjoying our last year at S. H. S. and being (in our opinion, of course) the best class the school ever sent out into the world. We started our senior year in the usual manner, by holding class elections. Eugene Cohen and Mary Jane Stewart were elected president and secretary, respec- tively, for their third term, while Scott Roberts and Joe Cerilli were elected vice president and treasurer, respectively, for the fourth consecutive year. We elected Miss Shmauk and Mr. Wilcox to guide us on our paths of glory. Although we lost three members of the class this year, ( Wallace Spear to the Army, Elliott Barrett to the Marines, and Richard .Mills) we were very pleased to welcome to the senior class four new members: Mary Fisher from Albany, N. Y. ; Pat Fortman. from Cald- well, N. J.; Dick Vines from Glen Ellyn, 111.; and Dick Johnson from Bath. Me. Our class has been well represented in all sports, clubs, and other extra-curricular activities. Seven seniors were active members of the Student Council in 1950-1951. They were Eugene Cohen, presi- dent; Charles Mitchell, treasurer; Lois Merritt, Ann Nitzsche, Scott Roberts, James Milroy, and Susan An- derson. Six of the senior council members attended a Student Council Convention at Sharon last fall and brought back some very constructive ideas. Membership in the Pro Merito Society this year was the largest proportionally of any class since the organization was installed in our school in 1949. The officers of this year ' s group were James Milroy, Impera- tor; Fannie Whorf, Ductor; Sheila Brigham, Scriba; and Harold McAvenia, Praefectus Aerarii. Ten senior boys were members of the Key Club this year. They were Scott Roberts, president; Peter Virtue, secretary; George Bearce, Eugene Cohen, Robert Bur- bank, Charles Mitchell, Robert Morrow, Harold Mc- Avenia, and Bruce Wyman. This year an idea initiated by some senior members of the Student Council tleveloped into a Photography Club. This club was also well-represented by seniors. Tile senior ' Camera Bugs were Robert Burbank. presi- dent; Ann Nitzsche, secretary; Susan Anderson, treas- urer; Scott Roberts, Sheila Brigham, John Davis, Ger- 11 SENIOR CLASS NEWS (Cont d) altliiu- (Jlcason, Mary Jane Stewarl, (lliarlcs Milclicll, and Dick Vines. The Class of ' 51 also played an important part in the athletic program of S. H. S. the past year. Many senior boys were members of tlie Soiiili Shore Championship team. These were Elliott Barrett, Scott Roberts. Charles Mitcliell. Joe Cerilli, Eugene Cohen, George Bearce, Dick Brehner, Diek Johnson. James Milroy, and Bruce Wyman. We are also proud to relate that four seniors. Eugene Cohen, Ellioll Barrett, Dick Johnson, and Scott Roberts, were members of the South Shore All-Star Team. The girls ' hockey team also did quite well last season, tying for championship honors. Maybe its successful season was due to the efforts of Marion Damon, Jeanne Dwyer, Mary Lou Brow, Jane Flaherty, Jean Carlson, Mary Jane Stewart, Sheila Brigham, Susan Anderson, and Ellen O ' Neil, manager, the senior squad members. The boys ' basketball team will have some difficulty replacing the abilities of Dick Brebner, Arthur Dunphy, Bruce Wyman, Dick Johnson, Joe Cerilli, and Eugene Cohen. Manager Robert Morrow and assistant manager Charles Mitchell will also have to be replaced. The girls ' basketball team will miss the senior squad mem- bers, Mary Jane Stewart, Jean Carlson, Susan Anderson, Glea Cole, Marlene Lopes, Fannie Whorf, and Marion Damon. The talents of the Senior Class once again showed up in the spring sports, baseball, tennis, and softball, with many veteran stars returning to play their last high school games. During the football and basketball season the senior clieerleaders, Gerry Gleason, Mary Lou Brow, Sheila Brigham, Ellen O ' Neil and Mary Jane Stewart, led the cheers with much pep and spirit. Also deserving of mention are the members of the band and orchestra which have not only entertained us many times but also inspired us at rallies and football games. The senior members of the band were John Davis, Fannie Whorf. and Dick Levangie. Fannie Whorf, Dick Levangie and Lois Merritt were members of the orchestra. And don ' t forget Polly Hunter and Nancy Dwight, our drum majorettes. We are proud of the students of our class who re- ceived individual awards this year, thus bringing more honor and fame to our illustrious class. Mary Jane Stewart received the D. A. R. good citizenship award; John Davis and Fannie Whorf, the good sportsmanship awards given by the Key Club during Blue and White Week; James Milroy, the Bausch-Lomh Science Award, for being an outstanding science student. Eugene Cohen was elected to represent our district in the State House on Good Government Day, and James Milroy received more fame by representing S. H. S. in the American Legion Oratorical Contest willi his excellent speech, The Defense of Our Constitution. Ann Nitzsche ' s S. H. S. N( ws, appearing weekly in the Scituate Herald, hclpi d lo keep our parents, as well as the stu- (h ' lits. informed of school activities. The All-School production, Blue and White Min- strels gave many seniors the chance to sliow off their hidden talents. Those taking part as end men or in specialty acts were Arthur Dunphy, Glenn Wilder, Robert Burhank, John Davis, Ellen O ' Neil, Mary Lou Brow, .Sheila Brigham, Mary Fisher, Gerry Gleason, Polly Hunter, Lois Merritt, Ann Nitzsche, Mary Jane -Stewart, Pat Fori man, Elliott Barrett, .Susan Anderson, and the girl who often saved tlie show, Jane Flaherty, prompter. Hollywood and Broadway, here they come, — the sen- sational actors and actresses of the sensational senior class play, Clementine. Fannie Whorf expertly car- ried out the lead and was ably supported by an all-star cast of Muriel Nichols, Mary Jane Stewart, Ellen O ' Neil, Pauline Hunter, Sheila Brigham, Susan Anderson, Bruce Wyman, Joseph Cerilli, Dick Brebner, Robert Burbank, Glenn Wilder, anfl Scott Roberts. Jane Flaherty and Virginia Cole were prompters, and many other members of the class also deserve credit for their work on scenery, programs, or posters. The Librarians are often forgotten when it comes to recognition, but Polly Hunter, president; Sheila Brig- liam, secretary; Susan Anderson, Virginia Cole, Muriel Nichols, Ellen O ' Neil, and Mary Jane Stewart of the Librarians ' Association helped keep the library in order and hand out an occasional session for overdue books. And last but not least are the seniors who helped make the Chimes and Scitiialion possible: Lois Merritt, our very capable editor; Muriel Nichols and Susan Ander- son, assistant editors; Jane Flaherty, alumni editor; and Arthur Dunphy, boys ' sports editor. The business staff was expertly managed by Harold McAvenia, Ellen O ' Neil, Robert Burbank, Virginia Cole, Pauline Hunter, all of whom worked efficiently in this department for three years. Mary Lou Brow, Marlene Lopes, and Ger- aldine Veiga generously contributed their time and skill in typing both publications. In addition to all these previously-mentioned activi- ties there are many other things that we shall long re- member, — the food sales, the athletic banquet, the rallies. Blue and White Week, the dances, the Pro Merito Induction, parties, plans for class day, our class banquet and graduation, our teachers, and countless otiier associations. We sliall soon be leaving our school, but with us will go our memories, — pleasant memories of the school that has provided us with a key to good living as well as a background of knowledge. 12 WHAT WILL S. H. S. DO WITHOUT THEM? Artie Dunphy, ' 51 Come June, one of the finest classes in the his- tory of the school will pass through its portals for the last time as students of the institution. Although some of the class may return for oc- casional visits, the school on the whole will have to do without many of its outstanding figures. Can you imagine what the U. S. history classes will be without great orators like Jimmy Milroy and Dick Levangie? The woman ' s cause in his- tory will also get a setback when they lose the great woman suffrage leader. Susan B. Anderson, better known to students of history as Susan B. Anthony. Football teams will suffer when they lose their all-star players in Dick Johnson, Captain Elliott Barrett, Scottv Roberts and Eugene Cohen. The magic toe of Charlie Mitchell will be missed greatly when he receives his diploma in June. And loss of the spirited cheerleaders, Sheila Brigham, Mary Jane Stewart, Jeri Gleason, Ellen O ' Neil, and Mary Lou Brow, the school will never survive! French classes will miss the three top French II students, Ricardo Preston, Francois Cerilli and Arturo Dunphy. There is a possibility that the parking space might be a little safer without hot rodders like Joe Fitzsimmons, Glenn Wilder. Harold Mc- Avenia and Eugene Cohen; but then of course the antiques belonging to Dick Brebner and Dick Vines might be missed. The shop will be without Bob Frazer. Ted Dwyer, Jack Stark, and Don Ford. These men have set fine records for themselves as great wood butchers. With graduation the author of the Egypt Enterprise may graduate. To this day no one knows who the author is: but study halls will be dull if the author does graduate. Basketball will lose heavily as will football and baseball. The graduating girls on the squad this year were Glea Cole, Marion Damon. Jean Carl- son, Mary Fisher, Mary Jane Stewart, and Susan Anderson, while the boys lose Bruce Wyman. Joe Cerilli, Artie Dunphy. Dick Brebner. Dick Johnson, Eugene Cohen, and manager Bob Morrow. Sessions may never flow so plentifully as they did in ' 51 without Muriel Nichols as the friendly librarian in study hall. The Senior parties, held by Andy Nitzsche and Pat Forlman will indeed be missed. Assemblies may never be the same without Bob Burbank and his know-how with the motion picture machine, and who will be around to take pictures of the current events when Burb grad- uates?? Speaking of assemblies, what will the school do without their pianists, Lois Jose Iturbi Merritt, and Sheila Brigham? Gym classes will quiet down a bit without J. P. Morgan Virtue and his crazy hook shots and without the battering ram, Scott Roberts. If you add up the names of the Scituate greats that will leave in June, many of them to continue their education in institutions of higher learning, others to see service in Uncle Sam ' s service, can you possibly foresee how Scituate High will get along without them?? REMEMBER WHEN? We first came to S. H. S. ? We first tackled Caesar? Our first class meeting was held? We experimented in French? Some of our fellows made the All-Star Team? The Junior Proms were held at the Country Club? Our glamorous girls dressed as hobos in the Minstrel Show? The Egypt Enterprise came out? We had our class pictures taken? Scituate won the Thanksgiving game the mud? The auditorium was decorated in green for the S. A. Dance? There was no school one day in Sept. due to a storm? Andy had open house ? Pat and Polly had their parties? We laughed through Clementine ? Karl Virtue identified a drawing in assembly? We crammed for history tests? Jimmy made a speech we were all proud of? We stayed for those play rehearsals? We were in second-period math class? We danced at our last junior prom? We heaved sighs over our I N contest? Some of us went to the Cape with Susie? We were chased hv underclassmen for auto- graphs? The Chimes came out? We graduated? 14 INSIDE INFORMATION NAME IF I HAD ONE WISH I ' D WISH FOR WEAKNESS WHAT I ' LL REMEMBER ABOUT S.H.S.

Those elected were Mike Veiga, president: John Nitzsche, vice president: Dorothy Kane, secre- tary; and Lois Newcomb, treasurer. For our advisers we chose Miss Vinal and Mr. Kreimer. As a whole our class has not done many things together, but we are well represented in extra- curricular activities. Many members of the class participated in football, basketball, and base- ball. Soine of us were also members of the all- school play cast. In April we held our annual dance with the Freshmen. This was well attended by all classes. As the end of the year approaches, we look forward to our Junior Year, when we will be upperclassmen. 17 FRESHMAN CLASS FiitsT Row : C. Fernandez, R. Bonney, R. Piouly, W. Jenkins, L. Carpenter, J.

FRESHMAN CLASS Thomas Whittaker, ' 54 The Freshman class entered school in Septem- ber, hoping to become a credit to our school and confident of success. We welcomed several new members to our class. They were Judith Lieber, Bonnie Austin, Ray Fisher, Mike Fortman, Peter Anderson, and Donald Dunne. At our first class meeting officers and advisers were elected. Charles Goddard was chosen presi- dent; Russell Prouty. vice president; Nancy Tag- gart, treasurer; and Molly Marsh, secretary. Mr. Johnson and Miss Hawkes were elected advisers. Many members of our class have taken part in extra-curricular activities. Our class is well represented in the band and orchestra, and many boys and girls have been on athletic teams. The freshman class was very proud to have the winning basketball team in the intramural basketball games during Blue and White Week. We defeated the seniors! In our days in S. H. S. the Freshman Class is going to try its best to become a credit to our school. We hope we will succeed. 18 JUNIOR HIGH Grade 8 Marilyn Sverisoii In September, a group of students, more or less enthusiastic, rushed into Rooms 201 and 202. For once we had the laugh on the 7th graders! However, the girls would like to forget a certain basketball game played during Blue and White Week. 7A defeated 8A and 8B. The 8th grade boys don ' t have to worry; they won! October 11, 88 gave a very interesting assem- bly about the flags that have been planted on American soil. They made the flags and dis- played them as they talked. January 18, 8B gave a Variety Assembly. There were two plays: Lucky Girl, the story of a group of girls entertaining a movie star, and The Fatal Pickle. the story of a boy who thinks he is a basketball hero. The program included a biography of John Sousa, one of Sousa ' s marches, and some choral reading. We made the following booklets this year: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, a Christmas booklet, and a patriotic unit for Miss Cunneen; a Transportation and Communication Booklet for Mrs. Williams: a Science Booklet for Miss Giles; and a booklet on one of the American possessions for Mr. Driscoll. In the fall, the Junior High played two field hockey games at Marshfield and Hanover. We lost them both, 2-0. This was not bad consider- ing that we had only one practice game. We hope we have made a good impression in the Junior High, and that we will make an even better one in Senior High. Junior High Magazine Drive Marilyn Svenson This year, the Junior High again carried on the Magazine Drive. Each year this drive is sponsored by the Curtis Publishing Co. There were two teams: the Army and Navy. Mrs. Williams was captain of the Navy, and Mr. Dris- coll was captain of the Army team. The Navy won. Joan Agnew, of the Army team, was the high-salesman for the school. The profits of the drive went to the bleachers fund and for Junior High Assemblies. Grade 7 Susan Cole Almost everyone in the seventh grade liked the changes in the Junior High although it is very different from the Elementary School. In October we made autumn booklets for Miss Cunneen, the Junior High English teacher. In November we made Thanksgiving booklets, also for Miss Cunneen. We made a Hall of Fame, which was a biog- raphy of the ten men we think did the most for America up to about 1800. This was under the direction of Mrs. Williams, the Junior High history teacher. In hygiene we made written reports on several of the men and women in that field for Mr. Driscoll, the Junior High hygiene teacher. My Loyalty Test Gail McCarthy, 8B Am 1 loyal to my school in every way possible, and do 1 show the proper school spirit? Loyalty is important in school and everywhere in life. Loyalty is devotion to all that your school repre- sents. I should appreciate what my school does for me and make every effort to contribute my best at all times. There are many ways in which I may show my school spirit. I can be a good sport. That does not always mean 1 have to be a player on a team, but it does mean that I am fair, courteous, and interested in all my school activities, whether on the athletic field, in the classroom, or in the assembly hall. I will know and sing the Alma Mater proudly at home or away to show my love for my school. I will contribute cheerfully to the various funds and activities and even if it is a small amount, it will help. I will be an S. A. member and support the athletic activities in that way. If I am asked to co-operate in an activity, I will do it pleasantly, not half-heartedly. I will try my best to have the school have a happy busy atmosphere about it. Then a visitor may say, What a fine place this school is! It all adds up to this: I will do my best, I will be my best, and then my school will be the best. 19 SCHOOL CALENDAR School opens September 6 Iowa Tests fjiven to Grade 10 October 19. 20 Pro Merito-Key Club Dance October 21 Teachers ' Convention October 25 B.

But beneath our anticipation is a real feeling of sadness at the thought of leaving dear old Scituate High. As we Seniors think of graduat- ing, we feel a lump in our throats at the thought of parting from the nostalgic sight of books and blackboards. Here we ha e spent the best years of our lives working, playing, and learning. Here will end one of the most important chapters of our lives: and as we think of this and realize that the end of our high school years is so near, all of us cannot help but have a feeling of con- sternation. Have we left our mark on our school, or are we just another group which has passed through? Each one has contributed to the school in his own way, some more than others, but all with the idea that it was for the good of the school. Separately we have done our duties, and whollv. as a class, we have tried to give to the school the best that we had. Perhaps our contribution wasn ' t material things, things to be shown and looked at. but more lasting allies, such as school spirit, better teacher-pupil relationship, and finer standard of scholarship. These are but a few of the things that we hope we have succeeded in accomplishing. More important than any of these things, how- ever, is what we have gained from our school. Before long we shall be citizens in an outside world, spreading our beliefs and ideas to all kinds of people. These beliefs and ideas will be those which have been taught us through our years of school. They will be the fundamentals on which our futures are to be based. We hope to make Scituate High School proud of her class of 1951. Really Too Busy? Lois Merritt, ' 51 Benjamin Franklin is quoted as claiming that Americans of his day were the most enlightened people on earth. He remarked that thev had the ability, interest, and leisure to read. The quan- tity of printed matter available in his day was small compared to the flow of publications from the presses toda). but the writing that was avail- able was read, discussed, and digested. In our times the quantity of news and opinion has increased many times. On the opposite side, the amount of time the average person has to read is limited, as other things compete for his attention. The need for well-informed opinion and analysis has not decreased, however. In- deed, in the light of the events of today, it has in- creased. Now. as we are nearing the end of the year, we are especialh hard-pressed for time to do all the reading that we should. We lose many of the benefits of our study if we do not fit that back- ground into an interest in the changing thoughts and ideals of our day. It behooves us to honestly ask ourselves if we are taking full advantage of the opportunities that we have for preparing for citizenship. Let ' s face it. Are we really too busy? 21 Your School and You Lois Ncivcomb, ' S:i What is school spirit? Sometimes people have the impression that school spirit is simply yell- iiifl and cheering at a football { am( ' . It is much more than that. School spirit hasn ' t got a one word definition. It isn ' t a book, a person, a place, or yelling and screaming. It ' s a feeling. It ' s what keeps smiles on faces, harmoin in classroom; , enthusiasm and good sportsmanship on the basketball court or gridiron. It ' s the laughs from the halls, the hellos from place to place, the dances and parties, the meetings and debates. It ' s woven into every brick and every stair. It ' s the feeling of belong- ing to a school and knowing it to b: your school. It ' s a feeling of loyalty and jiride that is part of being a student, yet you can keep it long after you graduate. School spirit creates respect for books, desks, chairs, walls and all school propert) . It creates respect and courtesy for teachers, supervisors, and fellow students. Showing consideration to- wards school property is an important part of being a student. Loving your school is more than just going to the basketball games. It ' s more than showing up at a dance or play. It ' s more than attending classes five days a week. It ' s more than being an all-star athlete. It ' s giving everything you have, striving to join committees and clubs, lend- ing a helping hand at every possible chance, and being cooperative and courteous at all times. All this, and more, is loving your school and having school spirit. Have you ever stopped to think of why you yell at a game? Cheering for a team should come from a deep pride and loyalty, and from a whole- hearted desire for those players, your friends and your school, to win, to come out on top, be- cause you think they are the best. However, cheering for the winning team is one thing, but cheering for your team, win or lose, is another! Booing the opposite side under any condition is an example of poor sportsmanship, and an insult to the school from which you come. The boy or girl who steadily destroys school property, acts rudely or boldly to teachers, is loud and annoying in classes, yells furiously at referees, and pays no attention to school organi- zations or regulations, is often the one to defend the school indignantly when it is criticized. Yet these students are just the ones who give a school the wrong appearance, and cause it to have a bad reputation. You can show your loyalty in a much more worth-while way. Show it in the way you act and talk every day. Show it when you ' re called upon for help. Live it in every possible way you can. It isn ' t a part of your work; it ' s a part of you. Have it yourself and appreciate it in others. School spirit is the most valuable quality any student could possess. Your school is for you, and by you. It ' s for you; your future and your life is based on it. It ' s by ou because it is only what you, the stu- dent, make it. With school spirit and loyalty as a foundation, you can ' t fail. Oh, If I Only Knew — Scolt Roberts, ' 51 Oh, if 1 only knew — is what many seniors today are thinking. Especially in these times, many are undecided about their future. Girls sometimes make their own deciding difficult, but the boy ' s future is very hard to plan in the pres- ent world crisis. Girls have only to decide whether to go to a junior college, a co-ed college, a girls ' college, a secretarial school, or else to work. If you are a boy, the problem is quite different. The first problem confronting you is the worry of when you are going to be drafted. There are several colleges you would like to enter. But your choice is narrowed down by the field you intend to specialize in. Or it may be narrowed by the expense of the school or by your grades. If you are a good athlete, maybe you can get your schooling for nothing. There is only one trouble with attending college on an athletic scholarship, and this is often overlooked by col- lege athletes. In return for his free schooling, an athlete probably has to spend three-fourths of his time participating in the sport for which the college is giving him a scholarship. This leaves no time for studying, and the first thing you know, you graduate from college only knowing how to play football, basketball, or baseball. You decide that kind of education isn ' t any good; so you go in search of a college that de- mands good scholastic standing. When you find the one you ' d like to attend, you think you ' re all set. With your application in and all the refer- ences submitted, you just wait to hear from the Dean of Admissions. When the answer finally comes, the news may be that vour grades just weren ' t up there. So, disillusioned and dis- appointed, you go to the one place that doesn ' t require all A ' s and B ' s, the Army. 23 SCHOOL NEWS Barbara Prouty, ' 52 Judith Taylor, ' 53 Carol fValsh, ' 52 New Teachers at S. H. S. Scituate High School has several new teachers this ypar. At the head of the Instrumental Music Department is Mr. Norman Dickinson, succeed- ing Mr. Harold Alpert, who has taken a position in Hartford, Connecticut. The new director was graduated from the New England Conservatory of Music and then received his B. S. in Ed. at the University of Maine. He obtained his Master ' s degree at Boston University last year. When Mr. Dickinson was in the service, he was assistant director of his training school band. Mr. William Johnson, our new football coach and mathematics teacher, came here from Morse High in Bath. Maine, where he taught for five years. Mr. Johnson was graduated from Bates College. In February Miss Maida Riggs resigned to accept a position at the University of Massachu- setts. Her position as girls ' athletic coach has been filled by Mrs. Mary Bauer. Many people already know Mrs. Bauer as she is a graduate of Scituate High School and she has been assisting Miss Riggs at the Central Elementary School. Mrs. Bauer graduated from Sargent College. She has previously held positions in Pennsyl- vania and Maryland. Mr. Joseph Driscoll has taken Miss Vollmer ' s place in the junior high. Miss Vollmer is now teaching in Japan. Mr. Driscoll is a graduate of Scituate High School and Bridgewater State Teachers College. School Loyalty Week The second annual School Loyalty Week was held this year March 12-16. Its purpose is to promote better school spirit and help everyone to realize the true meaning of school loyalty. In an assembly at the beginning of the week the program was launched. S. H. S. badges sig- nifying school spirit were given to each teacher and student to wear. Essay and poster contests were announced. During the week intra-mural basketball games were played. 8-A was the winning team in the Junior High. Much to the chagrin of the upper classmen, the Freshmen were victorious in the Senor High. On Friday we had a closing assembly at which time the winning essays were read and the winning posters displayed. In the Senior High essay contest Lois Newcomb won first prize and Muriel Nichols, second prize. Gail McCarthy won first prize in the Junior High, and Charles Rodgers was runner-up. In the poster contest of the Senior High, Joyce Frederick won first prize and Maureen Stark, second. For the Junior High, Bernard Croft won first prize and Ernest An- drews, second prize. The S. A. Dance climaxed the week, and every- one who went had lots of fun. American Legion Oratorical Contest James Milroy was chosen the winner of the annual American Legion Oratorical Contest, held at Scituate High School on January 26 for the purpose of promoting interest in and know- ledge of our government and Constitution. Others competing were Mary Fisher, Anne Nitzsche, Lois Merritt, Ellen O ' Neil, and Robert Burbank. The contestants were judged on poise and personality, the composition itself, and ability to arouse audience reaction. The following week at Abington High School, James was chosen district winner for his excel- lent speech and effective delivery. From this elimination he went on to represent the district at Wareham High School. Assemblies 1950 1951 Under the direction of the assembly com- mittee many fine and interesting programs have been presented to the student body. At our first regular assembly in September the Student Association was explained by mem- bers of the council and everyone was urged to join. Those taking part were Richard Mitchell, Scott Roberts, Gail Brazilian, Barbara Prouty. Charles Mitchell, and Gene Cohen. 24 Also in September, Miss Riggs gave a very educational and interesting talk about her trip to Alaska. She showed some beautiful colored pictures which she had taken on her trip. The annual Key Club assembly was held in October with Scott Roberts as master of cere- monies. The special guest was Mr. William Wade who told us many interesting facts about our town government. Robert Morrow read the Gov- ernor ' s proclamation on Fire Prevention Week and Bruce Wyman read one on Columbus Day. To celebrate Columbus Day 8-A under the direction of Mrs. Williams presented a Junior High assembly. The class told about and showed the flags that have been planted on American soil. Patricia Newcomb was mistress of cere- monies. Those who spoke were Lois Hodgdon. Cedric Gallup. Elliott Haartz, Allen Bates, Gail Collier. Lillian Galbreath. Joan Agnew, Lilla Fleming. James Breen. Adele Galbreath. Ernest Alves, Carolyn Bamber, Gail Brazilian. Audrey Baron, Phyllis Clark, Letitia Bernard, and Paul Berg. Elena Kitrosser, Bernard Croft, Diane Burnham. Joanne Fitzsimmons. Arthur Henry. William Gleason, Kenneth Jenkins. Ernest An- drews, Larry Basler helped make the flags. Also in October an assembly in commemora- tion of United Nations Day was put on by the ancient history class under the direction of Miss Vinal. At this assembly two United Nations flags were presented. One, made by Mrs. Amy Pott, was presented by her and was acce pted by Mr. Tilden in behalf of the town. The other flag, made by the ancient history class, was presented by Thomas Whittaker to the school. Gail Purs- low read the Governor ' s proclamation and Charles Goddard read Trygvie Lie s Letter to Youth. A film. The Building of a Nation, was shown. In November four interesting assemblies were held. One was entitled Hobbies Are My Busi- ness. At another assembly a cartoonist was presented, who made himself right at home with his easel and pencil. The French Department under the direction of Miss Harrington put on an interesting French assembly. Several girls from the French classes modeled French costumes while Priscilla Merritt read a little about the province each girl repre- sented. Slides were shown with Anne Nitzsche narrating. At the close of the assembly the French classes sang La Marseilles. To celebrate Armistice Day in November, J. A. Holman of the U. S. Army gave a talk on the true meaning of Armistice Day. Mr. John Hig- gins of Hingham High School gave an interest- ing talk on American Education Week. A choral group consisting of Marilyn Dyer. Janet Stern- felt. Barbara Hunter. Evelyn Jenney. Rosemary Manning, Priscilla Merritt. Joan Perry. Dale Richards. Helen Murphy. Shirley Pettersen, Carol Walsh, and Roxanna Turner sang My Buddy. accompanied by Lois Merritt. We had two roller-skating stars demonstrate how to roller-skate at one assembly. Charles Goddard. Audrey Baron. Betty Hernan. Marion Damon. Harry Reed, and John Quinn tried out the art of skating along with the stars. At our Christinas assembly a choir of senior girls sang Like the Wise-Men. Fannie Whorf and Muriel Nichols were narrators. The orches- tra played several Christmas selections and the student body sang carols. In J anuary 8B put on an assembly under the direction of Miss Cunneen. Richard Mitchell was master of ceremonies. After the opening exercises the class sang, The Lord ' s Prayer. Joseph Oliver gave a brief biography of John Philip Sousa, after which Martha Laidlaw played The Stars and Stripes Forever. A play The Fatal Pickle was put on with Norman Walker. Peter Stewart. Clement Molinari, Robert Stewart. Hugh McAvenia and Robert Rice taking part. A choral reading, The Duel, was given by the following girls — Anita Veiga. Frances Quinn. Jane Radcliffe, Virginia Rinehart. Fred- erick Squire and Judy McElroy. A play Lucky Girl was put on by Jane Muller. Carolyn Lock- lin, Marilyn Svenson, Mary Sweeney, Jacklyn White, Gail McCarthy, Mary Ryan and Carol Merritt. On Good Government Day we had Nathaniel Tilden. Representative to the General Court, as our guest speaker. Throughout the year we have had films on accident prevention, television and electronics, and various vocations. So you can see Scituate High School has cer- tainly had many fine assemblies, featuring stu- dent participation as well as guest speakers and performers. 25 HONOR ROLL High Honors All A ' s Richard Claim ' — 4 Judith Lawson — Grade it) — 1, 2, 3, 4 Jane Graham — Grade 9 — 3, 4 Norman Walkkr — Grade 8 — 2, 3, 4 Roberta Palmer — 4 Charles Rodgers — 4 Beryl Sylvester — Grade 7 — 1, 3, 4 HONORS The following have received honor grades (All A ' s or B ' s I two of the first three marking periods.

STUDENT COUNCIL Barbara Prouty, ' 51 THE Student Council held its first meeting of the year early in September. The officers this year are Eugene Cohen, president: Edward Stewart, vice-president: Barbara Prouty. secre- tary: and Charles Mitchell, treasurer. The mem- bers include Susan Anderson. Lois Merritt, James Milroy. Anne Nitzsche, Scott Roberts, Gene Cohen and Charles Mitchell, seniors; Jack Kettell, Richard Clapp, Barbara Prouty and Ed- ward Stewart, juniors: Aram Brazilian, Eliza- beth Grassie and Neil Towle, sophomores; and Thomas Whittaker and Gladys Clapp, freshmen. Robert Stewart is the representative from Grade 8 and Anne Gardner from Grade 7. In the Student Council we have several com- mittees to plan for dances, assemblies, and ways of raising money. James Milroy is chairman of the Ways and Means committee; Lois Merritt, chairman of the S. A. Dance committee. Other committees are Special Assemblies committee, Lois Merritt, chairman; Football Rallies, Susan Anderson, chairman; and Attendance committee, Barbara Prouty, chairman. In October the council sold S. H. S. football pins. We sent delegates and representatives to the Student Council convention at Sharon in November. This year the council has particularly stressed the requirement that only students who have earned athletic letters have the honor of wearing them. If people wear unearned letters, it takes the glory and honor away from the students who really earn them. Again as last year the Student Council held a school loyalty week in March for the purpose of fostering school spirit and showing the true meaning of school loyalty. During the week stu- dents wore insignia and entered essay and poster contests. The climax of the week was the S. A. Dance at which a large crowd gathered. The Student Council welcomes any sugges- tions, problems, or questions from the student body. 29 PRO MERITO First Row: M. Stewart, Miss Kingsbury, B. Wyman, S. Brigham, J. Milroy, F.

Those chosen to hold office were James Milroy, Imperator; Fannie Whorf, Ductor: Sheila Brigham, Scriba; Harold Mc- Avenia, Praefectus Aerarii. On March 7 a special induction service was held for the purpose of admitting three new members: Barbara Crowell, Mary Fisher, and Muriel Nichols. Entertainment and a social hour followed the ceremony. The entertainment, which everyone enjoyed, was as follows: After two sel- ections by the Dance Kings orchestra, Bertie Jean Walker sang two solos, I See Your Face Before Me and Smoke Gets In Your Eyes. Next followed a tap dance by Jackie White. Mike Forlman sang The Lord ' s Prayer and Pat- ricia. He was joined by Anne Nitzsche in Moonlight and Roses. All were accompanied by Lois Merritt. The program ended by two more selections by the Dance Kings. The Pro Merito society has accomplished a great deal since the chapter was organized three years ago. The society is a symbol in itself, which inspires students to qualify for admittance. In May another induction will be held for the qualifying members of the class of 1952. 30 KEY CLUB First Row: R.

By a not-too-difficult mathematical process it can be found that the average number of members in the Key Clubs of America is 20.4 boys. Considering the number of large schools that are represented by the Key Clubs, it is interesting to note that there are 23 boys in Scituate High with standards high enough to be admitted into our Key Club. That is 2.6 above average. These 23 boys have been chosen to represent their school in Key Club because of their leadership, initiative, scholastic standing, and school spirit. It is not intended primarily that they get something out of the club, but rather that they give something to it. This year has been especially active for the Key Club. Led by officers Scott Roberts, presi- dent; Edward Stewart, vice president; Peter Virtue, secretary; and Karl Virtue, treasurer, the Key Club began the year by selling Scituate High School book covers. This project met with such success, (850 sold) that it will be attempted again next year. The Scituate Clubbers sold over 200 tickets throughout Scituate to the Variety Show sponsored by the Scituate Teachers Assoc- iation. They also sold many tickets to the Ath- letic Banquet in December. The unpleasant but necessary task of ticket taking was again handled by the Key Clubbers. The Key Club managed to take motion pictures of two of this year ' s foot- ball games. The pictures were later shown to the student body for a slight fee and the receipts presented to the school as a gift. In October the Key Club staged a dance in conjunction with Pro Merito. During Blue and White W eek in March, the Clubbers presented, for the first tiiTie. The Key Club Good Sport ' s Award to a boy and a girl in the upper three grades at Scituate High, who had shown real loyalty Ho the school while remaining in the gen- eral Ijaclcground of things. These awards were given to Fannie Whorf, ' 51, and John Davis. ' 51. It is hoped that these will become annual awards. The Key Clubs of this district bestowed a final honor upon our club when Charles Mitchell was elected Lieutenant Governor to represent this district. As the Key Club is sponsored by the Kiwanis Club, the Key Clubbers have adopted the motto of the Kiwanis and have really lived up to it. The motto is, We Build. 31 PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB Priscilla Merritt, ' 52 ON December 8, 1950 at 2:30 p.m. the first official meeting of the Photography Club was called to order. Mr. Kreimer of our faculty organized this club for students in Scituate High who have a definite interest in photography. With Robert Burbank, he drew up a constitution which was approved by the Student Council. The members of the club learn the fundamentals of good picture taking and printing. The officers chosen at the first meeting were president, Rob- ert Burbank, ' 51 ; vice president, Joyce Freder- ick, ' 52; secretary. Anne Nitzsche, ' 51; treasurer. Susan Anderson, ' 51 : historian, Peter Nord, ' 52. The club has had two meetings a month. At these meetings Mr. Kreimer and Bob Burbank have shown the members how to print their negatives. The club has been granted the use of the dark room at the Elementary School through the co-operation of Miss O ' Donnell. who was voted honorary adviser. As the club ' s first project, a photograph con- test was organized. The winners were announced during Blue and White Week. The club is a welcome addition to the school as it is very beneficial to those students who are interested in photography. 32 BAND AND ORCHESTRA First Row: M. Laidlaw, A. Pratt. F. Whorf, E.

BAND AND ORCHESTRA Lois Merritt, ' 51 T T NDER the direction of the new leader. Mr. - Norman Dickinson, both the band and the orchestra have greatly improved. Both organiza- tions have increased in size as well as in ability. The football rallies would not have been com- plete if the band had not contributed to the at- mosphere. At the games, too. the band was spectacular. Remember the cute drum majorettes with Polly Hunter as leader? On November 18. the S.H.S. band was chosen to perform at Boston University with a number of other bands. Also, on May 12 at the South- eastern Massachusetts Music Festival, our band participated. As for the orchestra, it has been busy this year also. It performed at the All-School production, the Senior Plav. and the Christmas assembly, as well as at other assemblies. Many new members were added to the band and orchestra this year. It is hoped that even more will take an active interest next year. It is really interesting, and fun. to play with one of these organizations. 33 GLEE CLUB FiKST Row: E. Turner, P. Cahoon, R. Turner, J. Stern felt, R. Rodrick, N. Lopes, J. Roderick, B. Monteiro, M.

COMBINED GLEE CLUBS Priscilla Merrill, ' 52 THIS year the Glee Club had 101 members and as usual was divided into three groups: junior-senior girls, freshman-sophomore girls, and boys. In November, the school presented the Blue and White Minstrels. a variety show which offered a chance for many glee club members to display their talents. There was a large chorus of girls as well as many specialty acts. At Christmas the senior girls, dressed in choir robes, sang some lovely Christmas carols. At graduation and Baccalaureate, the junior and sophomore girls and soine of the boys sang. In March, an audition was held by the Village Singers of Hanover to choose participants for a concert. Bertie Jean Walker, ' 53, passed these auditions and sans in the concert. 34 FOOTBALL Artie Dunphy, ' 51 SCITUATE can always be proud of its football teams. No matter what the outlook is, a good team always seems to develop. The ' 50 season was no exception with the South Shore League Championship once again going to Scituate. Elliott Barrett, team captain, now in the U. S. Marines, was voted a member of the South Shore All-Star Team. Scott Roberts. Eugene Cohen, Dick Johnson, Eddie Stewart, and John Jacob- ucci were also voted to the Dream Team. Some of our other stars were Charlie Mitchell, the senior extra point ace; Harold McAvenia, a big man in any line; Dick Brebner, small, aggressive, and tough; Hank Cusick, the father of football in the Junior Class: Ralph Cole, next year ' s first string end: Pete Nord, who has his eye on one of those ends: Jack Kettell, the Junior ' s skat back; and last but not least Aram Brazilian, the Sophomore ' s star lineman. As we mentioned before, Scituate won the ' 50 South Shore League Football Championship. On that muddy day at Cohasset, Scituate ' s many Seniors bowed out with a great memory of a great team. BASKETBALL Arthur Dunphy, ' 51 ON March 5, 1951, seven senior boys marched forward in assembly to receive their Varsity letters. For these boys, playing basketball for S.H.S. has come to an end. They were Joe Cerilli. Eugene Cohen, Capt. Artie Dun- phy, Bruce Wyman, Dick Brebner, Dick Johnson, and Manager Bob Morrow. All is not lost when these boys graduate, for in the ranks of S.H.S. there are many to fill in. The Juniors should capably fill the bill with Eddie Stewart, Hank Cusick. Ralph Cole. Paul Green, and Paul Ford. The future seems brighter also with a great Junior Varsity Team. Tom Hennigan. Mike Veiga, Bill Vines, Donny Roy and Charlie God- dard are a fine combination that won all but two of their games this year. Also in the future is the Junior High un- defeated quintet. 35 FOOTBALL 1951 FiusT Kow : G. Beaice, C. Mitchell, D. Johnson, J. Milroy, J. Cerilli, E. Cohen, S. Roberts, R. Brebner, B. Wy- man, T.

Many veterans are returning from last year ' s squad, and many promising newcomers are ex- pected to make the competition keen. From last year ' s squad three catchers are returning, Gene Cohen, Arthur Dunphy, and Hank Cusick. From last year ' s mound corps John Cahir returns, and Dick Johnson, a senior transfer, is expected to bolster the staff. Returning infielders include Peter Virtue. Bob Dwyer, Eddie Stewart, Joe Fitzsimmons, Jack Breen, George Bearce. and Richard Loughman. In the outfield returning veterans are Charlie Mitchell, Tom Snow, Bruce Wyman, and Neil Towle. The South Shore League looks strong this year with Cohasset, Hanover, Pembroke, and Scituate as the leading contenders for top honors. 37 GIRLS ' FIELD HOCKEY FiKST Row: J. McEleney, C. Bamljer, Y.

FIELD HOCKEY Shirley Pel lei sen, ' 52 f iELD Hockey is becoming more and more popular every year. Last fall our team went to the Hingham Clinic twice to learn more of the skills of the game. There they played Braintree and Hingham just for practice. The team was also invited up to Concord where they opposed three private academies, Dana Hall. Abbott, and Winsor. Once again our team came through as champs, holding a four-way tie for the South Shore Championship. Cotripared to that of previous years, the total of goals was small, as our record high scorer graduated last June. The numbers of goals made were as follows: Susan Anderson, 4; Joan Perry, 4; and Jean Carlson, 1. The members of the Varsity team were J. Perry, center; S. Anderson, r. inner; J. Carlson, 1. inner: S. Brigham, r. wing: Y. Mongeau, 1. wing; M. J. Stewart, center half back; R. Mann- ing, r. half back; C. Bamber, 1. half back; S. Pettersen, r. full back; H. A. Murphy, 1. full back; J. McEleney, goalie; and J. Dwyer, M. L. Brow, M. Damon, J. Flaherty, substitutes. Much credit goes to Miss Riggs, who taught the team sportsmanship and spirit, as well as field hockey. The team also gives credit to Ellen O ' Neil, inanager, and Ann Dacey, assistant man- ager. The second team also did a splendid job and deserves inuch credit. They were faithful in at- tending practice and giving the first team a good work-out. The members of the second team were B. Prouty, A. Breen, P. O ' Keefe, S. Taggart, R. Mitchell, D. Prouty, N. Taggart. G. Brazilian, and M. Svenson. 38 GIRLS ' B ASKETBALL First Row: J. McEleney. Y. Mongeau, R. Mitchell, M. Damon.

Even though Scituate girls didn ' t produce a championship banner, they did produce a good team. The girls won together, lost together, and played together. In the middle of the season our coach, Miss Maida Riggs. left Scituate High to take a posi- tion at Massachusetts State L niversity. The girls regretted to see her leave, but they welcomed the new coach, Mrs. Mary Bauer, with open arms. The Varsity players were Mary Jane Stewart. Jean Carlson, Susan Anderson, Joan Perry, Rosemary Manning, Shirley Pettersen. Helen Ann Murphy, and Marilyn Dyer. The high scorer of the season was Mary Jane Stewart with 97 points. Close behind were Rose- mary Manning with 85 points and Joan Perry with 77 points. The Junior Varsity deserve appreciation for reporting regularly for practice and for the spirited competition they gave the varsity. The members of the Junior Varsity were as follows: Glea Cole. Fannie Whorf, Marlene Lopes, Marion Damon. Nancy Taggart, Joyce Bamber. Yvonne Mongeau. Joan McEleney, and Jane Burnham. Perhaps the most exciting game of the season was played January 16. at Pembroke. At the half the score read 14-14. A check bv the scorers showed that a mistake had b en made. The score was 15-14, Scituate. At the end of the third quarter the score was 23-23. Then in the last quarter, while Mary Jane made three more bas- kets, the guards held the Pembroke forwards to two baskets and one free shot. The final score was 29-28. Much credit is given to both our coaches. Miss Maida Riggs and Mrs. Mary Bauer. Also worthy of praise for their hard work are Ann Dacey, manager, and Dale Richards and Pris- cilla Merritt. assistant managers. TENNIS Shirley Pettersen, ' 52 AS the years go by. the spring sports hecomr more and more important at Scituate High. With school loyahy being stressed so much, the activities and clubs are meaning more to the stu- dents. The tennis team last year was very good. They had two matches each with Hingham and Braintree. The high scorer was Fannie Whorf. The weather interfered twice with a match arranged with Dux- bury. The members of the tennis team were Barbara Cole, Joan Kettell, Penny Rich, Fannie Whorf. captain; Muriel Nichols, Lois Merritt, manager; Mary Goodnow, and Elizabeth Grassie. CHEERLEADING Carol W alsli, ' 52 As usual Scituate was represented by two groups of cheerleaders, one for football and one for basketball. All were hard workers, and they exhi- bited some praise-worthy cheering during both seasons. For football the judges chose Mary Jane Stewart, leader; Jeri Gleason, Ellen O ' Neil, Sheila Brigham, Marilyn Dyer, and Barbara Hunter. Dur- ing the basketball season Ellen, leader; Jeri, Sheila and Barbara, now veterans, made up the squad along with two new additions, Mary Lou Brow and Carol Walsh. Despite cramped practice quarters, the results were first-rate. The cheerleaders, as usual, were a credit to our school. SOFTBALL Dale Richards, ' 52 THIS year ' s softball team promises to have a suc- cessful season. Joan Perry is captain. The rest of the squad consists of Marilyn Dyer, Jean Carlson. Barbara Hunter, Joyce Bambsr, Ruth Mitchell. Jean Dwyer, Maureen Stark, Carolyn Bamber. Maureen Baker. Yvonne Mongeau, Gail Purslow. Mary Ryan, and Gail Brazilian. Dale Richards is manager and Sue Taggart, assistant. The team loses only two seniors at graduation this year. TENNIS Miss Iliiiiis, M. Giiodnow, 1 . Rich, H. Cole, . Browne. F. Wiioif. .1.

Later that day a long, lanky youth came into the store and applied for the job. I just came up from Indiana, he said. I ' ve been helping my father split rails down there. I taught myself to read and write in front of the fire-place. Now I ' d like to get a job here in Illinois, work real hard, and maybe someday be President of the United States. That ' s fine, young man, said the store owner. What ' s your name? Abe, answered the boy.. And your last name, son? Humperdinck. « « ♦ During a true-false exam Mike Veiga was seen in the back of the room flipping a coin before he filled in each answer. At the end of the class period, Mike was the only one who remained, still earnestly flipping his coin. When the teacher asked why he hadn ' t finished. Mike looked up and replied. Oh, I ' m just checking my answers. ♦ ♦ ♦ Thelma, answering phone in office, It sure is. Phone rings again and the same answer is given. Finally someone asks her who is on the phone. I don ' t know who it is, answers Thelma, but somebody keeps saying ' Long distance from Chicago ' ! ♦ ♦ ♦ Scituate High School is full of knowledge. The Freshman brings a little in and the Seniors take none away, so knowledge accumulates. ♦ ♦ ♦ Milly: What shall we do tonight? Ellen: We ' ll toss a coin. If it ' s heads, we ' ll go to the dance. If it ' s tails, we ' ll go to a movie. If it stands on edge, we ' ll study! I wish I were a kangaroo. Despite his funny stances I ' d have a place to put the junk She hands me at the dances! ♦ ♦ ♦ An outsider: Does your school have a good cook ? A Scituation: She treats us like a Grecian God. Outsider: Oh? How ' s that? Scituation: Burnt offering every noon! ♦ ♦ ♦ Perhaps you think these jokes are bad, But you ' d quickly change your views If you ' d compare the jokes we print With those we didn ' t use. May I have the last dance ith you ; heavy-footed young man asked the lady of his choice. You ' ve just had it, the girl replied coldly. ♦ ♦ ♦ The boys in Scituate look shorter when they sit down these days. They ' re sitting on flat wallets. ♦ ♦ ♦ Bright Student: Teacher, draw an ellipse, please. Math Teacher: Can ' t, only comes once every few years ! ' ♦ ♦ ♦ Dick: Do you suppose you can dig me up a girl for the dance? Jim: Well — if you say so! Bob M.: Mac, drop dead! Mac: Why should I? Cause Hower business? you re m the Overheard in Corridor Wasn ' t that history test terrible. . . Going to the S.A. Dance? Who with? I like your skirt — make it? Going to Page ' s after the game?
