What things make a good citizen in the nation, town, and school? For the purpose of impressing the importance of this term, Good Citizenship, upon us, a survey was taken in this school to see what the pupils considered necessary to make a good citi- zen. Out of one hundred and eleven papers, one hundred two declared that boosting the school and taking part in activities was absolutely necessary. They, also, decreed that courte-ousness, obedience, punctuality and cheerfulness were good characteristics to possess in order to be of value to your town and school. By this survey you can see that the school has an idea of what good citizenship really is, and that the pupils are preparing them- selves for citizenship in their country. Do you not think that the above characteristics would make a very popular citizen? If we can be good citizens in the school, we can be good citizens in the town and in our country. I. Grapes '29 THE JOY OF BEING THE EDITOR Getting out a magazine is no picnic. lf we print jokes, people say we are silly. lf we don't, they say we are too serious. If we clip things from other magazines, we are too lazy to write them ourselves. If we don't, we are stuck on our own stuff. If we stick close to the job all day, we ought to be out hunting news. 6 THE HILLTOP If we go out and try to hustle, we ought to be on the job in the office. If we don't print contributions, we don't appreciate true genius. And if we do print them, the paper is filled with junk. If we make a change in the other fell-ow's write-up, we are too critical. If we don't, we are asleep. Now, like as not somebody will say we swiped this from some magazine. WE DID. LINCOLN ESSAY CONTEST This February, as formerly, the Illinois Watch Company offered a Lincoln medal to anyone in the Senior class, writing the best biography of Lincoln. This was won by Milton Fountain: joseph Mahoney re- ceived honorable mention. On one side of the medal is a picture of Lincoln, and on the other is inscribed the name of the winner and the date the medal was won. This was done as a way of celebrating the birthday of one of the most famous men in history, Abraham Lincoln. PERSEVERANCE Perseverance is the most important, but rarest of qualifications that a person may possess. Without it Lindbergh would never have become what he is to-day. If he had not kept his mind on his work and said that he would finish what he started out to do, who would have heard of him in this age of many heroes? It is the individual who lights and fights as long as he is able who is the victor nine times out of ten. As a certain old proverb says: He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day. Can you imagine a coward winning? No one can, and there- fore there is no mention of such a possi- bility. , No other asset a man can possess is as necessary to his success as perseverance. It is an important factor to have when pre- paring school work or when playing foot- ball. A stamp would be of little value if it did not stick, Would we be of more value if we stopped working in the middle of the job? In order to do anything well, time and patience must be put into the work. It is the man who stays -on the job and does it well who in the end rises the highest. 'tFor he who is faithful in a few things, the same man shall be lord over many things. Alice Dick TRUE EDUCATION We often hear it asked: Does a High School give a true education to its pupils? Before we can answer this question, it is necessary to know just what a true educa- tion is. Some people think that it is only a thorough knowledge of books, but this is only partly so. In order to be considered a truly educated person, a man must be edu- cated not only mentally but morally and socially. In answering the question we may say that a High School does give a true educa- tion to its pupils. It is where a student learns how to talk, to think, and to express himself by reading and studying the best that the world offers from the educational viewpoint. It can also be shown that the High School is largely where the morals of a person are cultivated. It is at about this age that we know what kind of a citizen he wants to be. A student is in daily contact with those who have a desire to be good citizens or vice versa, and it is left for him to choose just what path he will follow. Johnson in his Rasselas says, To talk in public, to think in solitude, to read and to hear, to inquire and answer inquiries, is the work of a scholar. May Leach '29 THE HILLTOP 7 Great teachers are born. not made. Tributes to Mr. Taylor K. ,729 It is with saddened hearts that we realize that Mr. Taylor is soon to leave us. VVC wish to take this opportunity in beha'f oi the class of nineteen hundred twenty-nine. and in behalf of XVarren High School to express our appreciation of his consideration of us and to thank him for all he has done for our welfare. He is a teacher of remarkable ability, a teacher possessing all the qualities that make his chosen profession a success. His untiring efforts, his integrity, and his supe- rior methods of teaching have endeared him to the students of the VVarren High School. Stella Kosmider '29 It is an honor and a privilege to express a few words of appreciation concerning the work of Mr. Taylor in the public schools of NVarren. He has performed one of the most im- portant services it is possible to ren- der. For the past forty-six years, he has been enriching the lives of the boys and girls of this commu- nity. This service has come from a love of those whom he has served. The success of his work has been due to an urge and desire that can- not be itnpelled or purchased but produces a lasting and beneficial result. During the eleven years I have been associated with Mr. Taylor, I have found him to be an efficient co-worker and a loyal supporter of all school policies. The' Warreii School Department has been very fortunate in having the services of such a man. I regret that he is soon to sever his official connection with our schools and wish to express in these few words a tribute of appre- ci tion. Sylvan R. Genthner, Superintendent of Schools. By all citizens who appreciate our schools and the value of the instruction they give our children and young people, the loss of our veteran teacher, Mr. William Taylor, is greatly regretted. The state law compels his retirement, and the junior High School is therefore obliged to lose an instructor of rare ability and marked success in his chosen work. Although Mr. Taylor, according to state law has nearly reached the 'fdead line in school work, we, who know him Well, are certain that the instruction he is now giving is fully up to the high standard he has fol- lowed these many years. Mrs. D. G. Hitchcock 8 THE HILLTOP Mr. Williaiii F. Taylor as a citizen, is one of whom it can be said: ln serving the public he endeavors to do all that is necess- ary to carry through anything he undertakes regardless of compensation. I. W. Moore Time will never obliterate the valuable service rendered by Mr. Taylor in the War- ren schools. VVe, who have been privileged to come under his tutelage, appreciate his true w-orth. His devotion to duty and un- tiring eiiforts on behalf of his pupils will always be associated with his name. He is an honorable, courageous American, and he zealously endeavors to imbue his pupils with all the qualities of good citizenship. Elizabeth M. Sullivan We, the Junior High School, are sorry to see Mr. Taylor go, for we appreciate all that he has done for us, both as a teacher and a friend. What a wonderful record he has achieved-forty-six years of worth while sei vice l VVe regret that our under classmates will be denied the privilege of having Mr. Tay- lor for their teacher. The Junior High School wishes him suc- ccss in whatever he does after he leaves us in june. john R.

J 1 f I1 t, ls NYARREN, MY NATIVE TOWN VVarren, Massachusetts was first settled in 1741. It was called Western but as there was another town by the name of Weston, the inhabitants changed it to Warren in honor of General VVarren who fought in the Revolutionary VVar. It was 1834 when this town was first named VVarren. The center of VVarren is in a valley with hills all around it. There are many farms out in the country that are very pretty be- cause of their babbling brooks and pine groves. A very pretty view may be had from Mark's Mountain when the sun is shining on the Quaboag River and making pretty shadows on the nearby fields. The way in which Mark's Mountain re- ceived its name is quite interesting to me. Long ago when the pilgrims first settled here, they had a fort on what is now called Mark's Mountain. One day all the men left the fort to go hunting and left the Women and children alone. Soon some Indians were seen coming and as the frightened women did not know what to do, Mrs. Marks came to their aid and climbed up on the top of the edge of the fort where there was a plat- form. She was dressed in men's clothes 4. 1 and carried a gun with her. Even though she was probably trembling with fear, she bravely called out All's well! All's well! The Indians, thinking that probably all the men were in the fort ready to drive them away at a minute's notice, went away and did not bother them at all. ' I do not know whether this is true or not, but it is one of the many stories handed down to us about our brave women in thc days when our country was first settled. Warren can boast of a good grammar and high school. Our dear old Warren High is very near the Quaboag River which is another beauty spot of Warren. Going up the river in a canoe towards the east, the river is calm and free of rocks. The trees on each side furnish plenty of shade and make it very cool on a hot summer's day. If one goes up far enough, many pond lillies may be found. Going down the river towards the west, it is so rough that a canoe cannot'be used. Part way down the river. just after leaving West Warren, there is a tablet erected to a man that loved to fish for trout so much in this' river that when he died he wanted to have his ashes thrown into the river. ' To me, there is no place as wonderful as Warren 'with its many hills. ' I A . p A Marjorie Gould '29 10 THE HI ACTIONS SPEAK LQUDER THAN WORDS Mose was up again. This time, as always before, it was chicken stealing. The weary judge in a hot southern court- room, looking down a long and ominous list, stopped and called, Mose johnson l Yas sah, yas sahl The owner of this name was right under the judge's nose. t'Not guilty, sah. HPlease tell me the circumstances, con- tinued the judge, ignoring the interruption. jedge, Mose quickly replied, them's warn't no sarcumstances, them' wuz chick- ens sah, yes sah. But, said the judge, you told me two minutes ago that you were not guilty. Now you say words to the effect that you are guilty. ledge, ah didn't say no words to no effek. dem words to you. You ain't no you ? Ah says effek be Mose, you are merely wasting time. Now, no more this stalling me off. You are guilty and we shall prove you so. The judge then produced the evidence that he had so carefully brought to court. He said, Mose, suppose I showed you some bones. Mose dropped to his knees and moaned ledge, jedge, ah nevah done it, ah nevah done it. He trembled with fear. The judge then had sufficient evidence. Mose's actions showed clearly that he had done the stealing though he had not said so. But Mose needed a more lasting punish- ment than a fine, so the judge produced a few greasy chicken bones. Mose, look here. These bones were found in your barn. Can you explain it ? l'Boss, ah's done for. When de bones come out ob de groun' to say so, ah know's ah'm beat. jedge ah buried dem bones yes- tiday, fahve feet deep and here dey be! Boss yo' win! Pick up dem mahbles l LLTOP The judge chuckled. He had seen Mose steal those chickens and' had seen dem bones buried by the careless Mose. The bones he had used as evidence were the re- mains of his Sunday dinner, and the family dog awaited them outside. Margaret Huyck '30 A DAY IN THE ATTIC Gne cold, rainy day, my two friends and I thought we would visit the attic in hopes of finding a good book. Qur plans were soon changed when we saw my mother's wedding dress and my father's wedding suit hanging in the closet. We all had the same idea, and we soon had the clothes from the hooks ready to have some fun. Mary was to be the bride, so she dressed up in the wedding clothes and was soon waiting for the groom. I was to be the groom. I put on the blue suit, the derby, and overcoat. Now the question was, Who is going to be the minister? This was soon settled, Florence was going to be the minister. We easily found a suit, a tall hat, a pair of nose glasses, a prayer book, and a large, red handkerchief. The ceremony was to start at three o'clock. We were all anxiously waiting for the old hall clock to strike three. The wed- ding couple were very nervous, and even the minister lost his large, red handkerchief. At quarter past three we were at the most important part of the ceremony. The min- iste1 s voice rang through the room as he asked, Do you take this woman for your lawful wife ? Before the question could be answered, we found that there was someone besides ourselves in the room. We looked all around and much to my surprise, I saw my mother sitting down watching us. She had seen it all and she enjoyed it immensely. She asked us to have our wedding feast down stairs, indeed, we did not have to be asked twice. Soon we were seated at the dining room table enjoying all that could be desired for such an occassion. THE HILLTOP 11 VVe soon forgot about the wedding, and the minister never thought of making the groom answer the important question that he asked him at three-fifteen o'clock. Margaret Finnerty '31 ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS At the French airdrome of Saint Michial in France one morning, the roll call was sounded and to its summons came the fliers on the run. Men, said the Brigadier, who is going up to get that Boche, who is bombing the hospital? I won't call for volunteers now, but I will call for them to- morrow. On the break of day, the men filed out to see who was the lucky one. To their sur- prise, the Brigadier called for Corporal Dancy. He was commonly called the coward of the outht and they expected him to cower and run off, but instead he said, Very good. Sir, and was off to warm up his plane. Also there was to go the bravado of the camp, a strapping fellow, by the name of Mug Soak McClancy. He said to the boys, I'll get that Boche before the kid can even .sec him. - I Off they started, first they zoomed as a welcome to the Boche to come and fight and not to slink away like some lower form of an animal. And sure as fate the Boche who was no coward came and started right off with the Kid, Mug darted at the Boche like a fool and tried to pepper him quick and show up the kid, but the Boche met him with a spray of lead. Mug im- mediately zoomed, and the Boche waited for that. Then he followed him up to the tail and shot off the control wires and the rud- der. Then f'Mug went down to earth as fast as a rock. That left only the kid to deal with, and the Boche saw that the kid was not ex- perienced, so he took a long circle and tried to take the kid into camp, But the kid knew this had been tried on the plane yes- ttrday, and so he saw it immediately. Con- sequently he took a dive in order to reach a height, and once over the Boche he in- tended to spray him. But the Boche saw it at the same time, and he gave his plane all the gas he had, and as he flew over the kid, he sprayed him. The kid knew that the Boche was too much of a match for him, so he thought he would rather die than to face his fellow planesmen. He rushed into the Boche as he was turning around to stamp him to his list of victories, but it was too late. As the kid came on, he sprayed the Boche and caught him squarely on the back of the plane. The plane doubled up and burst into Hames. The kid landed ten minutes later and re- ceived a round of applause that no other man ever had gained. On questioning about Mug, the men merrily shrugged their shoulders and said, Oh, he only had his head blown off. The kid got a Croix de Guerre for his honorable work and was promoted to first lieutenant of the airdome. Howard Mellor '30 i THE TALE OF THE TOWN'S BRIGHTEST CITIZEN Theodore Roosevelt Johnson's chest swelled with pride. He hooked his thumbs into the arm 'holes of his vest and gazed at lrmself in the mirror. What he saw as he gazed there was the figure of a man in a gray, well-fitting suit. The face of the man was one that would attract attention even in a large crowd. Not because Theodore was exceedingly handsome, but because his nose was of a rather enormous size. His nose was the only thing that bothered Theodore. But no! I should not say that. Theodore had one other fault, and that was his forgetful- ness. You understand he had a very good memory, but it was rather short. 12 THE HILLTOP As Theodore gazed at the blonde 'young man in the mirror, he was thinking of how Lucky the town was to have him for a citi- zen. He knew, of course, that he was very brilliant. Why! he must be brilliant to have just proposed to Marjorie Kendall and to have her accept him. Marjorie was the most popular girl in town. For a long time Theodore had watched her with wistful eyes and had pitied her for not realizing what she was missing by not accepting his attentions. He was glad that 'at last she had realized what a brilliant match she had made by becoming engaged to him. But as Marjorie sat in her room gazing out of the window, she was not thinking how brilliant and wonderful Theodore was. She was thinking how she had seen Jimmie Fisher, the man to whom she was secretly engaged, riding with another girl the day be- fore. When Theodore Johnson had had enoughlnerve to propose to her that after- noon, she accepted him to spite Jimmie. Jimmie Fisher needn't think that I'll stand for anything like that, Marjorie said aloud, l'll show him that I don't have to de- pend on him. Marjorie's black eyes flashed, and she banged the book that she had in her hand on the dressing table. He can't get away with anything like that,', she continued aloud, and to spite him, I'1l marry that conceited Tlheodore Johnson tomorrow l She went to the telephone, and picking up the receiver, gave the operator Theodore's number. Almost instantly, she heard Theo- dore's soft, cooing voice at the end of the wire. This is Marjorie, Theodore, she said hurriedly as soon as she heard his voice, If you want to marry me, you'll have to do it tomorrow, she went on. Oh, I say, Marjorie, said Theodore in a surprised voice, Isn't this rather sudden? Couldn't you wait until day after tomorrow, I haven't even got you a ring, you know. Never mind that, you can get one now, can't you P Marjorie's voice sounded irri- tated. lt will have to be tomorrow or never. You must be here at nine o'clock sharp! Goodbye l She banged the receiver down. The next day dawned bright and clear, as the poets say, and nine o'clock found Theodore Roosevelt Johnson in front of Marjorie's house in his Chevrolet. Marjorie was as prompt as Theodore, and she looked very sweet to him as she tripped down the walk with her pretty black hair tucked under a little blue hat, which matched the blue sport suit she wore. Theodore opened' the door for her. Dearest, do you realize what day this is ? he asked as she sat down beside him. Do you realize that you are eloping with me? Marjorie smiled wearily. Yes, I cer- tainly realize it, she said, but for goodness sake start. There isn't any use of staying here any longer. Theodore started his car and headed for the little town of Midboro. This was the place in which he had chosen to be married, and he had telephoned the justice of peace to be ready for them. He was sure that everything was so well planned that nothing could possibly happen to interrupt them. They had a very dull time on the way to Midboro. Theodore attempted to start a pleasant conversation, the subject of which was himself, but Marjorie seemed inclined to be silent. At last they reached Midboro, and conse- quently, the office of the Justice of Peace. Marjorie had not yet broken the silence, a.nd Theodore was beginning to feel nervous. But he knew that girls are often inclined to be queer, and he imagined that Marjorie was thinking of how wonderful he was. That was all right with him. THE I-IILLTOP 13 They walked slowly up the steps and into where. I want you to meet my cousin who the justice's office. Theodore explained who they were and told the justice they wished to be married at once. Of course, young man, said the justice, you have your marriage license, haven't you ? Theodore's face became the color of a ripe cherry and he gulped painfully. Er--what? he asked miserably, er- what did you say ? I asked for your marriage license, answered the justice. Theodore gulped again. Well, I guess I er--, I must have sort of forgot that I had to have one, he said, can't we get along without one ?'l Both Marjorie and the justice looked their disgust, and Marjorie looked angry, too. Theodore johnson! she cried angrily, you would do something absurd! I might have known you'd forget the most important part of anything you had to do. And as for marrying you after this! It's all off! With these words Marjorie dashed out of the room. But she rather resented her angry words after the first minute or so. For how was she to reach home? After the way she had spoken to Theodore, she could not possibly go home with him. But wonders and marvels always happen at the right time, you know, and just at that moment a long, gray roadster stopped in back of Theodore's Chevrolet. It was jimmie, and also, the blonde girl. Marjorie felt the impulse to run, but where could she run to? So she just stood and watched jimmie with tears in her eyes as he jumped from the car and came up the steps toward her. Marjoriel how does it happen that you are here? jimmie asked as he took her hands, I've been searching for you every- is spending the week with my mother. Marjorie gazed in surprise. Your cousin, jimmie, your cousin, you say? Oh, jimmie l jimmie looked rather puzzled at the glad surprise he heard in Marjorie's voice. Why yes, he said, my cousin. I thought you'd be glad to meet her. j Oh, jimmie! Marjorie sounded happy. You'll never know how glad I am to meet your cousin. Theodore Roosevelt johnson gazed at himself in the mirror. But this time his chest did not swell with pride. Well, I admit I am brilliant, he said aloud, but I seem to be the only one that realizes it. Oh well, such is life. Theodore switched off the light and juinped into bed. E. Patterson '31 SCHOOL ONE HUNDRED' YEARS AGO The one horse shay has stopped in front of the house, and john, Mary and Mistress Susie jump into it and ride off to school. jolm is sixteen and Mary is seven, but they both go to the same school and sit in the same room. That is not at all unusual be- cause all the pupils from five to twenty, short and tall, sit together on the same hard wooden benches without any backs to them. The little tots are not able to touch the floor lst The school they attend is the largest in the vicinity. It is in the center of the town, and about twenty boys and girls go there. School keeps during the winter months for four days a week, weather permitting. They started a little early this morning, because it is j'ohn's turn to be janitor. He has to build the fire and sweep the school house. Mistress Susie is staying at john's house this month. Last month she was with the joneses, and next month she will stay with the Browns. Mistress Susie is quite 14 THE HILLTOP young' and very well liked by all the pupils. She is the first lady teacher the town has had, and some doubt her ability as a teacher very much. She is very well educated be- cause she has been to school five years. 'fLet me see she exclaimed one day, as to French, I am mistress of that, and speak it, if possible, with more Huency than English. Italian, I can read with ease, and pronounce very well-as well at least, and better, than any of my friends, and that is all one need wish for in Italian. Music I have learned till I am perfectly sick of itg but, now that we have a grand piano, it will be delightful to play when we have com- pany. My drawings are universally admired, especially the shells and flowers, which are beautiful. As to common things, geogra- phy, history and poetry, thank my stars, I have got through them all, so that I may consider myself not only perfectly accom' plished, but also thoroughly well-informed. After the pupils have become quiet, they start the daily recitations in geography, history, reading, writing and 'rithmetic. A few of the older pupils try French. Five pupils are absent to-day, but that is very common. Some of the pupils only go to school when they feel in the mood for study- ing, which is very seldom in some cases. Each pupil recites in turn. While one re- cites, another studies his next lesson. They ought to have been able to concentrate re- markably well then. At three o'clock school is closed for another day, and the pupils start on their two to five mile journey home. Marjorie Gould '29 SCHOOL ONE HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW Peggy and Bobby came down the elevator in their suburban home and climbed into their long, low, blue, Danish areo-car. They had an argument as to whether they should ily or ride. Perhaps you have already guessed that this car shot swiftly through the air or along straight, concrete roads. They decided to ride a short distance and then to fly as Peggy wished to try a new landing trick on the school's landing field. Yes, they were going to school in the year 2027 A. D. Bobby is to take his Sophomore course at Harvard and disliked the idea of giving up the four days time to do so. Four days tinae! Yes. Each day he would take one subject in the form of a pill. As he absorbed the pill, he wouldabsorb the year's work'in that subject. He did hope that they would not overdose him in Greek and Latin. Peggy was a Radcliffe girl and would have to take last year's English over as she had Ilunked it. She bewailed the fact of losing the extra necessary day. Perhaps you think it queer that she should Hunk English. You see this was a foreign language to her, she spoke American. Peggy had been invited to go to Paris that night to see the queerest picture. It was quite a thing to see it. It was School in W. H. S. One Hundred Years Ago. Imagine it, they went to school five hours a day for practically the whole year! At last they arrived at a large, flat building around which stretched golf courses, tennis courts, bridle paths and runways. Parking their plane, they entered a richly furnished room where laid out on tables were gay bonbon boxes filled with chocolate covered pills. These were labeled' Latin, Greek, junior French, Biology, et cetera. Greek had a rather dusty taste, while Latin was rather peppery. English was pretty pink pills. Then a squeal from Peggy as she heard from the radio a voice saying, History teacher speaking. All who wish to attend the history picture, 'School in W. H. S. One Hundred Years Ago,' meet at runway live. We shall take high power planes and arrive in Paris within two hours. THE HILLTOP 15 Peggy had a very enjoyable evening although she felt rather sorry for the pupils of the Freshman English Class. Katharine Dalton '231 OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMEN In days gone by, women were looked upon, somewhat, as household articles, un- important yet indispensable. A woman was never asked to give her opinion on a subject. She was rarely con- sulted about matters of great or less im- portance and so assumed no dignity what- soever. She was a listless individual with only the thoughts of the Sunday dinner and the weekly baths on her mind. Those were the days when men were men, at least that is what the average male of today fondly believes to be true. The days when men were men!! Well, these are The days when women are men, and it is much more exciting, even the men will admit that. But the whole trouble started back in the days of castles, knights, dungeons, and cap- tive maids. Then women were revered and respected, so much so that they sank into oblivion and would have been in that dark obscurity ever since if it had not been for the World War. At least that is what I think about it. That was the time when men and women became equals. They worked shoulder to shoulder, shared and shared alike. In this way they gained' twice as much respect as the fair ladies of Quality Streetf' who chose to swoon and stay at home. The old saying, Women's place is in the home, was certainly not in effect then. Woman's place was wherever she was needed. During the war men or women were spared nothing. 'They saw life at its worst. They came to know what it meant to be cold and hungry. But more than anything else, they learned to Move forward, not backward. Courage was a great factor in this war, all kinds of courage. The courage to do what was expected of you and to do what was right. It was no time for questions or comments, it was a time to obey. After the war was over, people believed things would go on as they had been before. But they did not. They never have and never will. Such a thing was impossible. Taking into consideration the thousands that went over seas, only a paltry few came back. The ones who were left without homes or means of support, what were they to do? Stay home and brood over their misfortune? No! It was another call for courage, and the American women answered it hfty million strong. They came forth to fill the vacant places with their great ability to remember and their power to forget. They worked hard to deaden the memories that came crowding back and to show to the world that the women had come back into their own. Eileen Ottenhiemer '28 THE LEGEND OF THE SPANISH MOSS Over a thousand years ago in the far south, there lived an Indian maid named l.aughing Eyes. She was as graceful as a deer and very beautiful. The chief of the largest Indian Tribe in that neighborhood had sought and won the maiden's hand in marriage. Their wedding day had been set, and Laughing Eyes looked forward to the event with eager anticipation. At last the day arrived, and the wedding was celebrated by the members of the two tribes. They were arrayed in gorgeously beaded dresses of skins. A large feast was given and many dances were performed. Hasse, the Indian Chief, and Laughing Eyes departed for their future home where they lived happily for many years. 16 THE HILLTOP Soon a terrible strife arose between Hasse and his enemies. After several terrible battles, Hasse's tribe emerged from their battle fields victorious. The days of Hasse were overg he had gone to the happy hunt- ing ground. A Laughing Eyes was overcome with grief and died of a broken heart. They were both buried in a lonely grave. The black locks of Laughing Eyes were hung on an oak over the grave. The hair turned gray after awhile, and today a waving moss is found on every oak tree in the south. Even today if you stand beneath an oak tree in the south, the tree will whisper the story of Hasse and Laugh- ing Eyes. Dorothy Fulton '31 ROBINSON CRUSOE BROUGHT UP TO DATE VVell can I remember, that warm day in December. Our great monoplane was soar- ing over a vast stretch of tropical water. It was our ambition to reach the southern- most point of the Banjo Islands, which were situated about one hundred miles south of the equator. VVhen I speak of our, I mean Patrick Henry and me. Little did I think our non-stop Hight to the Banjo Islands was to end in a tragedy. All of a sudden our motor began spitting and sputtering. At this warning I became alarmed, for there were only small islands under us. The next thing I remember our great plane was heading downward at a rate of about seventy-five miles an hour, sud- denly a great splash stopped our thinking, and we were automatically swimming for the shore of one of the small islands. VVhen I reached the shore, Pat was spit- ting and blowing out water like a whale. 'Goshl what a sweet nose dive that was,' blurted out Pat. fWell, the only thing to do is to be prepared for the worst and then we shall look around for some kind of a shelter,' I replied. Having sent Pat in one direction, I went in the opposite direction. We had agreed to shoot our revolvers if we found anything of any importance. It was a good thing we did have our revolvers strapped to our side as they proved very valuable later on. I was just about ready to turn back when I heard Pat shoot. This meant he had found something. The sound came from the southeast, so I headed that way. After hav- ing walked for about two thousand yards, I came upon Pat sitting down on a small boulder. 'Well, what have you found?' I yelled at him. 'Look and see,' said Pat, pointing to the shore line about a hundred yards away. There lay our giant plane with its nose buried in the soft plain earth. Gosh I forgot all about it, I thought that was under water by now,' returned I. 'Well, be gorry I guess I will be having to take me time in fixing our meadow lark, and then we'll be goin' on our way,' said Pat, laughingly, as he used the Irish brogue. 'Oh sure,' I answered. The next two hours were occupied in examining the machine. It was beyond repair as the propeller was smashed, engine head cracked, gasoline all gone, and one wing was split. This sure was a disappoint- ing find. Thanks to Pat, he was thinking and Hnally struck an idea. 'Why not fix the radio P' he asked. Now Pat was an expert at radio, so he would not have any trouble in fixing it. 'Great idea Pat, you old skin- flint,' shouted I as I banged Pat on the back. lt took about an hour to fix the radio and have it set up so that we might send S. O. S. messages. All through the late hours of the night, Pat and I took turns at sleeping and sending S. O. S. messages. Finally daybreak came and we were all tired out. No ship had been sighted, for about the THIS lli time a ship would pick up our message it seemed as if it would lose the general direc- tion. VVe had kept a bright fire burning all night, which we had made by drying our wet matches and gathering some dry branches. About nine o'clock our prayers were answered. For steaming its way toward the island was a giant liner. As it came nearer we were able to outline an American Hag on its bow. The liner anchored about one half mile from our island and sent a small boat to l.lfl'Ol' 17 rescue us. Boy, weren't we glad when we were once more among civilization! And talk about eat. say I guess they thought We were cannibals or their equivalents. ln about twelve days we were again upon U. S. soil and it sure felt great. KVVhen ye iind Patrick Casey Henry in an airplane again, you will be seeing the eighth wonder of the world,' remarked Pat. We both agreed there was 'No Place Like Homef but we were none the worse for our adven- turef, Milton Fountain '28 FACULTY Back row, left to right-Mr. Blossom, Miss French, Miss Bradley, Mr. Quinn. Next row, left to right-Miss Magadini, Mr. Sommerman, Miss Walls. 18 THE THE VILLAGE FILLING STATION With Apologies to Longfellow I Underneath the big tall Hag pole, Our filling station stands The mechanic, a mighty man is he VVith large and greasy hands, And his knowledge of automobiles Is as great as any man's. II ' His hair is short, and black, and curly His face is fat and round. His brow is wet with honest sweat When he's Lizzie's troubles found. He greets the cars from many states, His fame is world renowned. III Week in, week out, from morn ,till niojht He keeps their tires blown, He keeps their tanks filled full of gas From the red pump, so well known, Like a beacon in the dead of night, It stan-ds there all alone. IV - And the children coming home from school Look in at the open door, They love to see the autos stop To pump that Hat tire more. And hear the wondrous stories told Of sights and scenes galore. V Sunday, he knows no day of rest, But toils from morn 'till night. For that's the day they speed along Regardless of all that's right. The Big Parade starts on its way Even before it's light. VI Thanks, Thanks, to thee our worthy friend For all your gas and oil. How could we ever see the sights Upon our native soil, ' If it weren't for the old red pump . And all your hours of toil. Adelyn 'QQ I-IILLTGP TO THE LOSER 'Tis a glorious feeling to be able to win, To come out on top, through thick and thin. 'Tis an easy thing to exalt in glory After the elections, suspense and worry, The harder task, however, is to grin And mask the hurt when one doesn't win. To be a sport with up Hung head That continues as before, with nothing said, For it's a bigger victory and a greater fight To hide the dark thought out of sight. I.et's salute those whose answering smile Tells of triumph of will and control all the while. I-Iere's to the valiant ones whose names, tho unprinted, Hold the student body's respect unstinted. ,Warren E. Tirrell '28 IN OLD NEW ENGLAND The stern New England farmer Stood by the open door Behind him, with head bowed in shame Stood his daughter Nell. A terrible blizzard was raging And the cold North wind was roaming Around the little log cabin That overlooked the cavern. The old man raised his arm And pointed out in the storm. Those cold, unrelenting eyes Pierced Nell to the very soul. Go, he cried and with tear-wet eyes She faced out into the blinding snow Pulling the shawl closer about her She held on to the tiny bundle tighte- '1 was over twenty below zero And into the storm she had to go With the tiny bundle containing corn She fed the pigs that she had forgotten. I. Rainka '29 THE HILLTOP 19 A BOY IN OUR SCHOOL There is a boy in this school His name I will not state. I-le hates to mind the teacher's rule And get to school before he's late. I His mind does wander while he sits To something else besides his work. If the teacher scolds he has ten fits, And tells her, Again I will not shirk. He hates the lessons he has to learn If he fails it gives him no concern. I am sure he would like to burn the books, And hang the teachers on nearby hooks. L. Pease '29 OUR TEACHER VVe have a teacher, Oh! so dear Of whom we never have a fear. To us she is as good as can be, And if her view we cannot see, just ask her to explain it more: You'll learn some new ideas before She's thru: And tho we sometimes fret, I know that we will ne'er regret The time spent working in our school Beneath the slogan, Golden Rule. I. Grapes '29 THE TELEPHONE A wonderful instrument the telephone is, It helps us transact lots of our biz If it ringles and jingles, we lift up the hook, And listen to our neighbor tell how to cook. It helps lovers in loving, and keeps you in touch, VVith all that is doing, and that isn't much. But most wonderful of all, when you're late coming home You call up the wife on the old telephone. And as I said before it isn't much But it sure keeps you from getting in dutch. A. Cutler '30 'THE WOES OF A WOULD-BE POETESS Miss Walls said for English A poem I must write, My face paled with anxiety ' For my chances were'nt bright. I gathered paper and pencil And I did my best, To think up a poem That would pass a fair test. I thought and I thought But it was all in vain, 'Cause no thoughts would come All this gave me pain. I sat there a-thinking As hard as could be, Something snapped in my head And told these words to me. 'Tis'nt much of a poem But I guess it will pass, So I'll give it to Miss Walls Right here in class. E. Thornton THE HILLTOP The Hilltop as you all know so well Is the best book published each year to sell Now listen, my children, and I will tell you why ' Because it is written by the Juniors of Warren High. '29 They struggle and argue, they fret and shed tears. Their Hilltop neust outsell those of previous years. Their efforts are dampened by the Senicrs who say, You could'nt beat ours if you trisi till Doon' sday. D. Conway '29 20 THE HILLTOP A TEACHER QVVith apologies to all the poetsj. Somewhat back from the pupils' seat Stands the desk, of our teacher, so neat Across its top in even piles La the papers of every style Y - 1 But from our teacher who stands so tall Comes this order addressing us all, Silence-at once! At once-silence! Half way up the aisle he stands And points and beckons with his hands From his pocket takes a paper And on it writes, I'1l see you later. The pupil weeps and sighs, Alas! With sorrowful voice to all who pass, O Gee-O Gosh! O Golly-I can't! At nine his voice is low and light, But at three-thirty when there's few in sight Distinct as the roaring of a cannon ball It echoes through the empty hall. Along the ceiling, along the floor And seems to say at each classroom door, Do this-do that! . Do that-do this l Through days of sorrow and of joy Through days of ease and days of toil Through anything that one may name This teacher seems to stay the same. And as if, for fun, to everyone he saw He calmly repeats those words of awe, Do this-do that! Do that-do this! Lillian Pease '29 WARREN HIGH As I sit by the lirelight dreaming, p There comes a thought to me - Of days I spend in Warren That are so bright and free. Within the walls of Warren High I've learned to busy be,' And as the years pass swiftly by I'll find the habit has helped me. In the class of twenty-nine am I , And through the years to come, I'll still remember Warren High Where I've had so much fun. L.

Or can you picture Starsiak as a rough ice man gaining 32 THE HILLTOI' the affection of Margaret Ilurley, the Swed- maid? Or better still can you imagine Noah Fountain as the policeman capturing ish the angels who had been stealing grapes? Every one in the cast was well suited to his part, and we feel that altogether we pro- duced a very successful play. The senior Class presented a three act comedy, The Little Clodhopper, in VVarren To i'.' n Hall on April thirteenth. The cast included: Miss Juliette Bean Margaret I-Iurley A Warreii boarding housekeeper Ocey Gump joseph Mahoney A fresh country product, by heck! Gezfrge Chiggerson VVarren Tirrell An innocent lamb from the city Mrs. Chiggerson Boggs Beatrice lfValker llis darling mamma, with a smooth scheme Septimus Green Gordon Terry A young book agent, full of ,pep Judy Eileen Ottenheimer A little clodhopper from the poor house Charmain Carter Dorothy Chapin lNho thinks she is a vampire Li een Thornton, l.enora Erla, Madeline Hawkes, Eleanor Patterson, Franklin Bliss, Luther Bridges, Alcide Brodeur, Slavek Kozur. Various friends of Miss Bean who came to dance an old fashioned quadrille and were prompted by john Starsiak. I am sure that all who saw this enjoyed it, and Betty the most amazing spectacle of all was the countrified Miss Bean and Ocey Gump embarking on the sea of matrimony, and honeymooning in the city. Judy, the little clodhopper, was a very interesting character and had the sympathy of the audience every moment during the play. These plays were directed by Miss Mil- dred A. Walls of the English department. They always mean a great deal of extra work, but in both cases the final result was worth while. The music was furnished by the Warreii High Orchestra, another cause for our pride of Warren High. I certainly wish that you could have been with us, for I am sure you would have been both amused and interested. Your play time pal, Mary V.

TRACK As soon as we returned to school, candidates were called out to prac-- tice for the Barre Fair. Two fairly good teams journeyed to Barre on Friday, September ninth. For a small school, Warren made a good show- ing. On October eighth we had the triangular meet with Brookfield and North Brookfield. Warren was de- feated, but a strong team is promised for next year. ,. BASKET BALL Warren belongs to the Western Division of the Worcester County Basket Ball League. Only one veteran was on the basket ball team, the rest are new members. Under the coaching of Mr. Quinn, a good team represented the Warren High School.

Why not induce your principal to add an article to each ad- dition? Drury Academy, Your magazine is well worth reading. Your French Department and poetry is exceptionally clever. The Booster, We like your book. It's very catchy-especially the cover. Business Topics deserve special comment. The Crimson and Gray, Enjoyed all your stories immensely. Your advertising de- partment is right on its job. The Reporter, I see Ford is given some more free advertising. We hope to read more stories from the author of Time Will Tell. Certainly enjoyed it. On the other hand we could stand a few more jokes. THE ECHO, Your paper is exceedingly good for a High School. If the good work continues, Winthrop's Newspaper will have to look to its laurels. The Massachusetts Collegian, Your re- porters certainly know their job. All you need is a humorous column.

A member of the orchestra in good stand- ing receives one point credit and a letteri This enables the members to be very am- bitious. The orchestra has played several times in assen bly and has proved to be successful. It has also played at the Student Body Play at VVarren and VVest Brookfield and will play at the Senior Play which is to be given on April thirteenth.
