DECEMBER 1934 19 THE MERCHANT OF VENICE ' J 1 HE Merchant of Venice was presented by the James Hendrickson and Claire Bruce Company of New York, in the Bartlett High School Auditorium at Webster, through the support of several surrounding high schools to afford the pupils the opportunity of witnessing a Shakespearean play, several weeks ago. The play seemed to give definite form to some of the characters who have been rather vague on the printed page. We ' ll remember Launcelot Gobbo ' s red velvet tights trimmed with gold braid and his senseless antics which really seem amusing on the stage. Shylock was at his height of wickedness in his Jewish gaberdine and greenish-tinted beard but seemed a forlorn and pathetic figure after the court scene. What satisfaction there was in hearing Por- tia exclaim The quality of mercy is not strained, which, for the first time, really ap- peared dramatic instead of merely something to be memorized. And a pale moon in an artificial, but lovely, star-lit sky added more to the love scene of Lorenzo and Jessica on the stage than all the written descriptions could ever hope to. Kathleen Tully, ' 37 A RCHY ' S life of Mehitibel, by Don Marquis, is a short collection of poems about the philosophy and the every day ex- periences of an alley-cat. Archy, himself, is a cockroach. This bit of work which he so kindly consented to do is really a biography because it is an account of the experiences of Mehitibel as told to him by her. Now a cockroach, as you may or may not know, is not a very large animal, and Archy certainly had his ups and downs while trying to manipulate a man-sized typewriter. The only way he could work it was to climb up onto the keyboard and jump head-first on the keys, a letter at a time. No capitals or punctuation appears in the book because Ar- chy is not yet tall enough to reach the shift- key. In this manner he has retold the ad- ventures of Mehitibel. This, as you may readily see, is no simple matter for a poor little cockroach, in fact it is very strenuous and nerve-racking for the little animal. In spite of everything Archy stuck to his guns till the finish and his efforts, I am sure, will be duly appreciated by any student who choose to read it for an eve- ning of enjoyment in poetry.

ATHLETICS A STEAMBOAT TO THE MERCHANTS OF SOUTHBRIDGE! Every member of the Mary E. Wells High School thanks you most gratefully for your generosity in contributing to the fund for the band on Thanksgiving Day to lead us to the victorious game in Webster. The band helped to inspire that high feeling which lead our undefeated team to victory. The Cheer Leaders. Wells 19 Stafford Springs o Registering 16 first downs, Wells High School ' s 1934 football team opened its season by trouncing Stafford Springs High 19—0. The first touchdown came on a pass from LeBlanc to Farland; the second came on a five yard plunge by Francazzi, who made a brilliant debut at fullback. A pass from Far- land to Bellows added the point. The third and last touchdown came on another pass from LeBlanc to Farland. Coach McMahon used every man who made the trip. Wells 30 Holden o Displaying a powerful line and a fast and well-drilled backfield, Wells defeated Holden High 20-0. Wells made 12 first downs to Holden ' s 5. The first touchdown came in first period when Francazzi crashed over from the two yard line. The second came on a 20 yard run by Farland. Farland also place- kicked the point. The third touchdown came when Lango scored from the one yard line. Farland again converted. Wells Seconds 18 Leicester 6 Making 10 first downs and completely out- playing the Leicester team, the Wells Seconds looked like a varsity team as they won 18—6. The first and second touchdowns came in the first period when Karle, who played a great game at fullback, twice scored from the one yard line. The last touchdown came in the middle of the 3rd period when Lango smashed over from the 3 yard line. Wells 19 Clinton 8 The Wells High football team rose to heights as it battled a big and powerful Clin- ton High team to a standstill and won by the score of 19—8. Wells scored in the first period on a pass from LeBlanc to Farland who caught it on the Clinton 35 yard line and scored standing up. Farland place-kicked the point. The second touchdown came on that brilliant 75 yard run by Captain LeBlanc, who dazzled the crowd with his speed. Wells ' third touchdown came in the middle of the fourth period when Francazzi scored from the 4 inch line. Victory was the more satisfying because the Clinton team had won a decisive victory over Webster three weeks before. Wells 25 Ware 7 Wells continued its winning streak by trouncing Ware 25—7. Francazzi scored for Wells in the last part of the first period after Slota recovered a blocked punt on the Ware
