.Um 6761 Through a green New lfllglllllfl valley flows a river, the NVare, which has given its name to the largest of the several comnnniities scattered along its banks. The word WARE, first thought a queer name for a town, has an unusual mean- ing. It is a translation of the Indian word N1cNAMEsEcK which means 'Tfislzing I2askm ' or fish trap. Long before the white man strayed into the wilderness, the Quaboag Indians had found good fishing at the falls of this broad stream, and yearly came to camp beside it during the salmon season. In addition to spearing the fish as they leaped the tumbling waters, the Indians built traps of twigs and branches at the foot of the falls. NENAMEsEcK, they called these trapsg and NENAMESECK, they named the river. The sturdy settlers who presently chose our township for their pioneering translated the Indian name IYENAMESECK into weir, the word they had used in the Old Country for fish trap g but being Scotch Irish, they pronounced it w11'e. Hence came WARE, the white man's name for the river and then for the town on its banks. It is a name with an Indian background. It is a name with a history. liven as the Town Seal preserves the figure of an Indian spearing his salmon, so the title of our high school annual keeps alive the ancient and beautiful name of our river -- NENAMESECTIC.

To hiin who in the love of nature holds communion with her visible forins she speaks a various language. For his gayer hours she has a voice of gladness and a sinile and eloquence of beauty, and she glides into his darker inusings with a nzild and healing sympathy that steals away their sharpness e er he is aware. - BRYANT
