MacMillan, the famous ex- - - plorer, has visited Labrador and the Northland so many times that he is well qual- ified to lecture on this subject. He has some fine pictures each one of which recalls to his mind some interesting anecdote or bit of in- formation. He spoke very informally to his audience on October 25, almost as if he were speaking to his own family. He talked about a great number of things, —the Eskimos, earlier explorers and their hardships, bird and animal life, ice forma- tions with pictures showing strange and beau- tifully shaped icebergs, (glaciers cover all Greenland so that some day it will be com- pletely buried under ice), his huskies and his perilous trips over ice cracking under his feet and in cold 50 to 70 degrees below zero— so cold that his breath froze to his chinl It cannot truly be said that he left any part only half-explained or that he said anything which was incomprehensible to his audience (except the Eskimo talk). It cannot be denied that it was a wholly satisfactorj and informative talk. Indeed, my only ob- jection is that an hour was all too short a time to spend on so fascinating a subject. F.

LOCAL 5 ANNOUNCEMENT The Crimson and Gray takes great pleas- ure in announcing that it is sponsoring Mrs. Moonlight which will be presented by the Louise Galloway Players in the auditorium of the Mary E. Wells High School, November i8, at 8:30 P. M. Tickets will be seventy-five cents for reserved seats and fifty cents for the rest of the hall. The price of admission is very reasonable, but we believe it will en- courage a large attendance. This will be the initial appearance of the Louise Galloway Players in Southbridge and it is sincerely hoped that it will merely be the first of successful appearances. All come, for we feel sure that the play will be enjoyed by all. ' Miss Marjorie Hong ' 37 has been selected Freshman Reporter by a committee of which Florence Lockhart is chairman. This compe- tition, open annually to Freshmen, consist- ed of two reports: on the Freshman elections, and the Freshman Party, and an article entit- led A Freshman ' s Point of View. LOCALS The first day of school we were much be- wildered and confused, or at least surprised, to find new numbers on all the rooms. We don ' t get so much amusement from the Fresh- man as usual, because they spend most of their time downstairs. Seniors and Juniors lord over the first floor and Sophomores are on the second. We discovered three new faculty members, Miss Kidd, Miss Hefner, and Mr. Robinson, but otherwise everything is familiar. The classes started electing their officers by the second week of school.

Marjorie Hong T. Doris Lariviere H. O. Harold Germaine ROOM 12 There was quite a spirited meeting over the election of room officers in Room 12. The of- fices were filled by boys which made the girls, especially Miss Patty ' Power, start an uproar. The President, Burton Swan, said that it was only fair for a girl to hold an office as a reporter to the Crimson and Gray. Those elected were: President, Burton Swan; Treasurer, Wal- lace Rockwood; Health Officer, George Wat- son; Reporter, Miss Tetreault. The room also has a one man band which is played by Louis Ugalde on a harmonica. Boy! Can he harmonize. Maybe Mr. Tabor taught him. J. Tetreault ' 37 TO THE WORLD ' S FAIR ON $4.26 (Continued from Page 9) had had and especially for the comfortable bed. All gentleman hitch-hikers, when we want to get somewhere in a hurry, take the train. In a small town along the way I met a fellow on his way to New York City. We chummed together, hopped a train, and arrived in Buf- falo about 1 1:30 A. M. There we got another train from Buffalo to Rochester N. Y. There I went around to show my relations I had succeeded in getting to the Fair, and collected a couple of dollars in bets they had rashly made that I wouldn ' t get there. The next morning rrly cousin got me a ride to Geneva. There a fellow who had been driv- ing all day drove up to a gasoline station and said he wished he could find someone to ac- company him on the road to Boston. I was lucky enough to be near by and said I ' d go with him. All that night, then, I got a four hundred mile ride to Sturbridge. The man, a middle-aged traveling salesman, bought me a lunch. I was rather tired out from keeping my companion awake. Consequently I was glad when two more rides found me at Globe Village where I had started from eleven days before. Now, next summer, I am going to Ireland, England, and France, in the gentleman-like way, and I hope that I ' ll be able to tell about that in next year ' s paper. Bill Curboy ' 36 A FRESHMAN ' S POINT OF VIEW T T IGH School! That is the word first - ■ ■ ■ thought about when a Freshman-to-be awakes on that eventful Wednesday. There is no longing to stay in bed even though it is a rather schooly feeling morning. Some may sigh at the thought of getting back to the old grind , but still High School will be interesting. Mother is up early as she knows no one will be late to-day and has (Continued on Page 22)
