He fiatters rain, and when it snows, He whirls and swirls and sends it by, It must not hide his Weathered eye. He greets the day at five o'clock, As quickly as the barnyard cock. Perched high above the way of men, He's untroubled by the Huttering hen. Above this anger and this yearn1ng,. He stays in place and keeps on turning. I .

, I NEED OF PRAYER CARLENE WIGGIN, '53 There's great turmoil in our nation, And precious blood is spilled, In a war in far Korea, Where our boys are being killed. And parents' hearts are asking, Must we suffer this againg Must our sons continue dyingg For the greed and hate of men? There's a great need of our leaders, In the nations of today, It must be they've forgotten, To kneel to God and pray. If each person in this country Would take problems to our Lord, He who is one almighty, Gives promises his Ward. That a nation undivided, Ever trusting in the Lord, Would never be forsaken, But be saved through love of God. So let us at home remember, While there's trouble everywhere, To support our boys and nationg With the greatest power, Prayer. pf ff' gras Hd. 4? .Z xx 'P mx THE ONE THING THAT DOESN'T The And The But CHANGE FRANK Pozzi, '52 wind and rain may come and go colored leaves fall to and fro. sun may shine, the sun may hide one great love will e'er abide. The birds may sing and fly away Life may be sad, bright or gay. All things on earth may go one by one But never, dear mother, the love of your SOYI.

g J, W ' I 1 I gf. Z f s X - fj- Interview learned that he s e fairly good By wrangling an on-the-spot inter- view with Mr. Richardson, coach of the Rochester teams during the 1930 era, I began asking questions which would compare teams of that time with teams of today. These are some of the answers: You have probably heard many of the old timers say that back in their day, football used to be a lot rougher and tougher and that the game today IS getting mild. But don't believe them. In fact, I believe that the game is even faster and more decep- tive than it used to be. He also mentioned the fact that today coaches have more boys to work with. Back about 1930 he said he did not have enough boys on his team to scrimmage each other in practice. g The former coach admitted that the equipment today is an improve- ment over the equipment of yester- year. He also said that the football itself used to be larger than it is to- day. His first year here, Mr. Richard- son built his team mostly of under classmen, and he received the satis- faction of ending the season by de- feating Dover 10-0. It is interesting to note that the formations we use today were used then, also-formations such as the T the Split T, the Box, and the Single- wing were popular at that time as they are today. Catching a few familiar names here and there, I happened to hear Sam ,Seavey's name mentioned and quarterback. Other familiar names mentioned were Frenchy Ferland, Don Mitchell, and Phil Bailey. Mentioning basketball Mr. Rich- ardson said that it had not been an interscholastic sport in Rochester for ten years when he received the coach- ing chores, so the team really had to start from scratch to make something of themselves. Since then, basket- ball has blossomed into one of Ro- chester's most popular sports. Finishing up the interview Mr. Richardson said, Any man who ever coaches a team never forgets that school. SPAULDING VS. SOMERSWORTH A near capacity crowd of 3,000 was on hand to watch the tussle between the Hilltoppers and the Raiders. In the first half it was all Somersworth as their wide end sweeps with per- fect interference proved devastating to the Spauldingites. At the half the score was 21-0, and it looked as if Somersworth would turn the game into a rout. However, in the second half, it was a different story. Spaulding received the opening kickoff, and in just three plays they struck paydirt, with Mar- cel Huppe reeling off 41 yards for the tally, and with what proved to be the longest run of the game. The try for the extra point failed, making the score 21-6. Somersworth once again tallied making it 27-6. But the in- spired raiders came back with Huppe running 33 yards for the tally and with Dodge pushing the extra point,
