21 by atomic bombs and Communism. No person brought up in a world in this condition can be irresponsible and immature. Many high school students know as much, or more, about politics than the average voter. In history classes we study the history of our gov- crmnent. the framework of our Constitution, and the backgrounds of political candidates. Let ' s put our good judgment and our back- ground in history and government to use. Let ' s show our elders that we are capable of being responsible and mature voters. LET ' S ALL GET TOGETHER Peter Anderson, ' 54 No one needs to be reminded that the S.H.S. basketball team was invited to compete in the Tech Tourney held at the Boston Gardens, and that they made the finals. All three games were well attended by students, faculty members, and residents alike. There was one flaw in the support, however; that was the way in which the boosters were spread out. The finals was the only time an attempt was made to have a section for Scituate, and that was not too successful. In the first two games the only ones who sat together were friends. This took credit away from the good attendance, because for one thing, everyone was so separated cheers couldn ' t be heard. The other schools sat together; therefore they looked like more, and sounded louder than we did. To an outsider it would seem that they had more spirit. We know this is not so. Let ' s prove it. The next chance we get, let ' s all get together and show them we have as much spirit as any other team. LOYALTY Maureen Stark, ' 54 What makes a school a good one? What makes a student proud? What makes a team successful? What makes him yell so loud? It ' s not a very big word with lots of royalty. It ' s just an ordinary one, a word called loyalty. The classes and the homework, the games that must be won. The dances, clubs, and parties, the classmates and the fun, — If interest would be taken in all these things, The promotion of school spirit would make us feel like kings. Sportsmanship, citizenship, respect for others, too. Are items of necessity to you and you and you. So be a credit to your school, give all that you possess And make this Blue and White Week a very big success ! SCHOOL NEWS Barbara Prouty, ' 52 New Faculty Members There are three new teachers at Scituate High School this year. Mr. Robert D.

During the week school loyalty and school spirit were particularly stressed. Loyalty Yields Great Re- wards was our motto for this year.
