PRATTLE HIGH SCHOOL LOWDOWN HOWDY folks! It seems that a great many of our schoolmates had quite some vacations. Outside of those who went to the World ' s Fair, we have Alice (35) Etherington taking in Europe; Ned (35) Chapin, likewise; Dick (35) Macallister, in Mr. Beals ' camp, along with others. Then we have those who stayed at home, like Armand (34) Chicoine, who played baseball, went to fairs and such- like. Of course, there were the Freshmen who spent the summer between two emotions: Triumph and Apprehension. Freshmen at a glance: There ' s George Car- penter, quiet and orderly The traffic Offi- cers wish there were a few more like him Marjorie Hong, quite a sophisticate Dan Vecchia, who makes quite a hit with the wo- men Little Guerino DiBonaventura, would like to be a cave man but his size is against him— besides, he plays the violin.. ....Fay Wil- liams, likes to draw cartoons and has an am- bition to draw those Mickey Mouse Movies ....Bobby Reed, small, but energetic. ...Richard -Fox, who by the time he becomes a Senior will be giving Clark Gable a few sleepless nights Janet Gibcault, who loves civics, and hopes to get by on her looks Patsy Hartwell, a girl of mystery, for we tried all sorts of ways to discover her hobbies, ambi- tions and the like, but no go Nancy Ed- wards, very excited because she is a Freshman Sammy Frederico, making faces in an at- tempt to become an actor Bill Blakely, not in the least frightened at the overbearing manner of the Juniors.. ..Well anyhow, good luck children, you only have four more years. Mr. Brockway, it seems, has to go and round up his Review Math class every day— especially the boys. He threatens that the Last Round-up will be any day now. • A kaleidoscopic view of the Freshman Re- ception: pig-tails and short dresses At- tempted childish laughter Bill (34) An- drews ' red socks Mr. Tabor ' s white linen knickers Green crepe paper People slip- ping and skidding on the too well waxed floor Miss Finnegan saying, You ' ve had one glass of punch already Miss Kidd ' s green outfit and doll Lollypops Honey (35) Price trying to explain the games above the ex- cited clatter of Freshmen Rubber soles were envied in that game of picking up chalk Mr. Beals, grinning and nodding his head... ...Probably the most successful party yet. Can you see any resemblance between: Florence Stephanie Victor Claude June Laile Armand Raymond Oscar Rita Howard Betty Marjorie Flora Mary Ann Vinny ' 31

20 THE CRIMSON AND GRAY SONGS (To the tune of You ' ve got to be a Football Hero ) You ' ve got to root for dear old Southbridge You ' ve got to cheer for your hard-fighting team. There should be only one good end to the day, It ' s winning the fray, For the Crimson and Gray. Come on, you Wells men, get down on the field, You ' ve got to give them all you ' ve got; Rah! Rah! Rah! These cheers are for you, Te am, Watch Bartlett ' s line, and you ' re bound to get through. THE CRIMSON AND GRAY The glow of dawn, the mists of morn, Bring hope of perfect weather; The sun appears, we have no fears, Our champions stand together; And so we keep our banners bright Above us ever swinging; To cheer our comrades in the fight This song today we ' re singing: Chorus: The Crimson and Gray waves above us today The hills of dear Southbridge re-echo our cheers; The blush of the dawn and the mist ' s pearly spray Have lent us their colors to bear through the years; For Southbridge we ' ve battled on many a field- Our motto is Onward — our line will not vield; Then proudly we ' re waving our banners today, And cheering to triumph the Crimson and Gray. The world may lay, in proud display. Alluring charms before us; But naught can wrest from Mem ' ry ' s breast The gems that schooldays bore us; And so, while Youth the fingers swift Each precious day is stringing, Our voices high we gladly lift And from our hearts we ' re singing: Chorus: Anthony I. Werner Words and Music (To the tune of Marching Through Georgia) Every Southbridge rooter up, we ' re going to sing a song, Sing it with a spirit that will cheer our team along, Sing it with a snap and vim that shows where we belong, Up with the banners of Southbridge! S-O-U-T-H-B-R-I-D-G-E Hurrah! Hurrah! That word spells Victory! To our Alma Mater we will ever loyal be. Up with the banners of Southbridge! (To the tune of Stein Song) Oh give a cheer for old Wells High. Loyal to her are we. Give a cheer for each warrior bold Who ' s fighting for the vie - to - ry. Rah! Rah! Rah! Sweeping onward down the field, Southbridge will win the day. Three times three for Alma Mater, The good old Crimson and the Gray. • To our ends! To our guards! To our tack- les and centers who charge the foe! To our backs! To their speed, as dodging and plunging they forward go! To our Team! To its grit! To its courage which surely will win the fray! To our town! To our school! To our ban- ner, the Crimson and Gray. Chorus: Repeat—

A FRESHMAN ' S POINT OF VIEW (Continued from Page 16) breakfast ready by the time the excited but- doesn ' t-show-it pupil is up and dressed. Then we start for school, hailing some pals who are still in grammar school. Of course they are young, but of course one must not let them think we are letting them down now that we are in High School, no indeed! Finally we arrive at school, one of the many who don ' t know where to go or how to get there. After much straightening out, the first period bell rings. After some mistakes you get to the right room somehow. Yes Sir! High School is much more exciting than Grammar School and so different! Then finally the seemingly short day comes to an end. After much discussion about the various teachers and informing the younger members of the family about the grand first day, nine o ' clock comes. Though ordinarily early no reading is done. Nine thirteen— all quiet. Nine fifteen— fast asleep. So ends a perfect day. Kathleen M. Tully ' 37
