. 'TEMPLETON TEMPTER 21i CLASS GAMES The Juniors and Seniors arranged a game which was played in the high school gymna- sium in the afternoon, and proved a hard fought battle. The Juniors led the Seniors until the last quarter when the Seniors let loose with some of their reserve strength and defeated the Juniors by a score of 15-10. The second game that took place in the gymnasium a few days later between the Freshmen and the Eighth Grade, proved a victory for the Eighth Grade after a dead- lock until the closing minutes. Score: 9-4. The Feshman girls came back to even the score by defeating the Eighth Grade girls by a one-sided score. School Glee Club The Glee Club of the Templeton High School which is directed by Miss Hamlin has had a successful season. The members of the Glee Club pre- sented a Thanksgiving entertainment in the Templeton High School assembly hall on the 6th of November which amused everyone present. They also gave a Christmas enter- tainment at the Congregational Church. At a meeting held on February 19 a sug- gestion was made to have a school song. The lack of a school song has made the members of the Glee Club very enthusiastic and so they are working very hard to find words to express the' school's characteristics and the sentiment they feel towards it. We hope to receive unanimous approval for the song. The music is very pretty and the words I am sure will please and satisfy all. Atgpresent the Glee Club members are prac- ticing songs for Commencement Exercises. L. L. K. '34 ' Latin Club This year the members of the Latin classes formed a club, the S. P. Q. R., a secret organ- ization. The purpose of the meetings is to gain a more thorough knowledge of Roman life, customs and languageg' to understand better the practical - and cultural value of Latin. The officers are: Ponefex Maximus Coleman Bicknell The two Consuls, Rose Zisk Genevieve Duquette GIRL'S TRACK MEET Since the llirst of April the Athletic girls have been struggling with track practice. The high school gymnasium is being used until the outside is more suitable. Mr. White is our coach. So far we have practiced broad jumping, high jumping, basketball, relay, running and contests for the number of basketsimade in one minute. These are enjoyed by all the girls. We expect to have inter-class contests after more practice is available. I A. 0.

Freshman Class The Freshman Class of 1931 has done very little in the way of entertainments. A dance for the students of this class has been men- tioned but the statement has not been put into eflect yet. At the beginning of the year 1930, when the school session began, this class consisted of fifty-nine students. At the present time it consists of fifty-five. The Freshman of this year are, as most all other Freshman of the classes that came be- fore them, very noisy, unable to keepin their seats and do not seem to understand that third period ls a study period rather than a period to ask his nearest neighbor what he or she did last night. Two class meetings were held in Room 8, during which time they elected the following officers: President Veikko Matllainen Vice President Ellen Nykanen Treasurer Charles Oliver

20 TEMPLETON 'I'EMPTER Oh, you mustn't! she cried, but she let it remain there just the same. Why mustn't I? whispered Tom as he drew her closer. He was just going to kiss her when she jumped up and tore her mask off with an angry gesture. I'll tell you why, Mr. Thomas Ryan, she exclaimed wrathfully. You think you're having a nice little flirtation, don't you? But you picked on the wrong one this time! You didn't know it was your own little wife did you? I know now what you do when you're supposed to be at your o1Tlce. You go off to dances and hop ofl' with the first girl that comes along. No, don't you interrupt me! You thought you were smart, sneaking away in that old rig, dldn't you? But I knew you the minute you came into that room and I thought here's where I'm going to have some fun but I guess I got more than I was looking for. Well, I have found out what my dutiful, hardworking little hubby does nights. Oh! I'm so shocked and disgusted I just can't say a word! Why don't you take off that old' mask and look a person in the face if you can? With that she snatched oif the mask and then gave a frightened little gasp. It wasn't her husband. It was an utter stranger who stood before her.. L. K. P. '31 thletic Department GIRLS' BASKETBALL Schedule Opponents T. H. S.

Both defeats being by the same team. Four of the regulars who have played together will be graduated, leaving quite a breach but the new material looks very prom- ising and next year's team should be almost as fast and good as the old team. FOOTBALL The football season of 1930 did not meet with success at Templeton High School. The team consisted of small and light men. Coach Russo managed to pick a team from the can- didates who reported. The opponents for Templeton High School appeared to be heavier and with more experi- ence. The Murdock team of Winchendon defeated Templeton by a score of 27-0. The second game proved a victory to Cush- ing Academy Seconds by a score of 19-6. The third game against strong opposition, proved a victory for Northbridge. Score: 66-0. The last game gave the Gardner Jay Vees a decision of 6-0.

A large number of candidates reported. The players on the team had never played togeth- er before but with steady practice the players were fitted for their suitable positions. Many of the games were lost with close scores. Schedule T. H. S.

22 TEMPLETON 'I'E'lMP'1'ER Secretary Stella Stone 1 Miss Beatrice Hager was appointed as the class advisor. The class colors chosen are red and white. The class motto chosen is Carpe diem meaning Seize the Opportuni- ty . The class dues were fixed at 3.50 ayear. 'L. K. '34 TO THE FRESHMAN--- On 'to Washington! ' How many of you have ever been to Wash- ington, to that glorious city where our gov- ernment is controlled? Not many of you, I think. How many of you would care to see the White House, the Capitol, the needle- like point of the Washington Monument thrusting itself into the sky? All of you, be- yond a doubt. What American heart- has not thrilled at the thought of seeing his country's seat of government? You all know the an- swer. If you care to go, why not plan for it? Save for it? That is the only solution. The alumni of Templeton have gone. Classes have planned and worked and saved for such a trip. If other classes have accomplished this goal so can we. But we must save. Before I inish: Think of the things you would see, Freshmen. The White House, the Capitol with the House and Senate in session, perhaps the Washington Monument, the liin- coln Memorial with the magnificent statue of Lincoln by French, the Potomac, Potomac park, Washlngton's ancestral home, and last but not least, the other buildings of the gov- ernment and the avenues of the States. Think, Freshmen, of all this, and make, On to Wash- ington! your slogan all through glorious days at Templeton High. On! On! On! to Washington! .- C. S. O. '34 Sophomore Class In September of the years 1929, a class of freshmen entered the Templeton High School. Unorganized, diffident and rather green , they were seen looking for room so and so. This soon ceased as an acquaintance began with teachers and upper classmen. Soon, after the 'beginning of the regular routine, a class meeting was called for the purpose of electing oflicers. The results of the balloting were as follows: President Anthony Burnyshifski Vice President Mildred Bourn Secretary Mary Conti Treasurer Gerald Bourn During their first year the freshmen had dl- rect charge of no social events, although they did take part in many. The iirst year soon came to a close finding us Sophomores, al- though diminished in members the same spirit as in the class that entered in 1929. Of- ficers were soon chosen for their second year. The results were as follows: President Roland Woodbury Vice President Mary Conti Secretary Genevieve Duquette Treasurer Dorothy Greenwood The second social event of the year was the Sophomore dance, which took place early in January. It was a very successful evening. As their second year is drawing to a close the sophomores have realized that work is essential for a firm foundation to success. M. C. '33 Junior Class Juniors , President Edwin Dobson Vice President Paul Pease Secretary Berthe Garant Treasurer Genevieve Vachowski The Junior class has held two class meet- ings this year. The first one was held Sep- tember 16, 1930 to elect a committee for se- lecting class rings. The following members were chosen: Edwin Dobson, Warren Tourtel- lot, Rose Fahey, and Berthe Garant. Miss Guard was chosen as class advisor. On Octo- ber 6, 1930 the class met once more to decide upon the rings. The ones chosen were of yellow gold, with a black onyx background on which was an old English T , Just above and below the letter were the words High School. On one shank was 19 and on the other f'32 . The class has not had any dance this year, but it is looking forward to the Junior Prom which will be held in Fraternity Hall some- time in the spring. All students have taken an active part in sports this year but this seems to apply espe- cially to the members of the class of '32. Nearly all who went out for either football or basketball made the team, which makes us very proud. We hope that they will keep up the good work, in the end Sportsmanship leads to Goodfellowship and that is but a step to Success. B. G. '32
