LATIN AND FRENCH COMMERCIAL SUBJECTS ' WINTHROP VVINNER Uncle Sam lVhen Americans chose a personage to represent them, it seems very natural that they should have the Stars and Stripes predominate in his appearance. Let us look at this good fellow for a moment. His topper is embellished with white stars on a blue ground and red and white stripes. He wears the authentic costume of the early nineteenth century-long, red and white striped trousers, and a swallow-tailed coat, blue with the same white stars. Though rather gay in the choice of color in his attire, he symbolizes the American people, are they not as gay and equally unconservative? But his face? It isn't the jolly, hale face of John Bull or hasn't the bliss of jacques Bonnhommef' Cn the con- trary, it is long, with a calm and pensive air quite out of keeping with his gay costume. And what is even more peculiar, he has a long, white beard which he persists in pulling while think- ing over some weighty problem. VVere it not for this you might mistake him for a Harvard freshman. Yet, it is said that when one reaches his seventies one loses a great deal of his common sense. Let us compare this fellow with his very near relative, John Bull, who is of about the same age. Uncle Sam is, as we hav-e said before, grave, pensive, has a very peculiar taste in his clothes, and is exceedingly tall and slim. john, on the other hand, is short and fat with a huge stomach which he gained, no doubt, from drinking numer- ous draughts of ale. His clothes though nearly as loud as his relatives, are much less dignified. These two kinsmen, though quite different, have thought a great deal of each other since Sain in his early youth proved to the other that he had a lighting spirit as well as a mind of his own. This quite surprised John but he liked him all the better for it. Sam and john have stuck together 5' for nearly two hun- dred years since, during which time they have had only slight quarrels, but every- one knows that near relatives must have a few ups and downs. However, we hope that in the future the relations between the two friends will be even more peaceful and under- standing. Richard Bowring, '40 My Valley Ah! a deep sigh involuntarily es- caped me as I gazed, awed, at the in- effable beauty below me. It seemed as though God had made rich a spot es- pecially for my benefit, for what soul would not be spiritually uplifted at the scene which met my eyes? In the depth of the valley a little brook babbled happily over its rocky way till soon it fell in small cascades down the side of a hill. The earth all about was covered with a very soft and richly col- ored green carpet. A few young bould- ers scattered here and there might have provided chairs or thrones for the shy wood creatures who probably assembled here. A dead tree, which must have been present for ages, had fallen across the brook. Designed upon it were all manner of beautiful fungi. The sweet fragrance of ladies' slippers, mayflowers, and wild violets were wafted to me by the gentle south breeze. On the banks of my valley, a few tall, straight birches lent their touch and seem to me to defy man to spoil their shining whiteness. Wliile l gazed, wild- eyed with the wonder of all God's work, as though the picture were not yet com- plete, a tiny fawn stepped hesitantly forth from the opposite side, sniffed the air, looked this way and that, then cau- tiously tripped daintily down to the water's edge to drink of the cool, spark- ling liquid.

Something different was sponsored by the class this year in our Hobby Show under the direction of our class advisor, Mrs. Wliittier. It was very interesting to view owing to the varied collection of hobbies. XVINTHROP HIGH SCHOOL 13 Early in the year the one-act play of our class was presented, What Price America H.

A hiking party was held for the Soph- omores in February. We started from Vlfinthrop and hiked to Readheld to Mrs. NVhittier's home. Some pupils skated up on the lake and others rode up but some were still faithful to the idea of hiking and Walked up. Arriving, at the point of exhaustion, we fell upon the sand- wiches we had supplied ourselves with and hot chocolate made under the direc- tion of Mrs. NVhittier. That which was not imbibed was spilled on the floor but we held a mopping crusade and did our best to clean up. Afterwards we rode down in Lester Masonis new deluxe Rolls Royce. Everybody enjoyed him- self very much. The initiation of the Freshmen was held the first of the year. For one week Freshmen arrived at school with various regalias but the Sophomores relented and on the last day gave them a big feed on the shore of Annabesacook. The Sophomore class has been well represented in the various activities of the school and hope to be so next year as a junior class.

The path turned to the left before we reached this house, and as we walked, the house slowly moved from its background. VVhen I looked again T saw a glorious riot of blue and red and gold. The horizon appeared to be a-blaze. The flames were leaping upwards, their tongues of tire reaching greedily as if to devour the clouds along with the moun- tains. Pinkish tufts of smoke like fluffy cotton balls Hoated through the orange inferno. They twisted and turned roast- ing on some invisible grill. Then, as if some unseen hand had extinguished this towering bon-ire, the glowing coal sud- denly sank from sight, leaving behind the purple ashes of evening. Lee Ona Dakin, '3S.

Each week we meet to enjoy playing together as well as to prepare musical numbers for various programs throughout the year. The orchestra played several selections before a large audience at the junior Prize Speaking Contest. VVe have also taken part in school assemblies. The orchestra is composed as follows: three violins played by Margret Jones, Robert lloutin, and Adrien Knovvltong two saxophones played by Russell Dra- peau and Norman Manwellq drummer, Leston Mason: and pianist, Floyd Smith. We have received many compliments and we feel that the orchestra is indeed a success. VVe certainly owe much of this success to our director, Miss Frost.

Prescott Commercial Club News The Commercial Club, under the direction of Miss Marguerite Tapley, opened its activities this year with the initiation of a number ot new members. At the first of the year, the club con- sisted of only four members. After the first ranking period however, the club was increased to sixteen members. The chief aim of the Commercial Club members is to obtain and keep a high average rank. Instead of spending our time arranging parties and dances, we put it to good use by working for awards in shorthand and typewriting, which in the end are more profitable to us. All of the Commercial Club members have won awards either in shorthand or type- writing. Special honor and congratula- tions go to Helen Slonina who received honorable mention in a recent, nation- wide contest for fluency and accuracy in writing shorthand outlines. , The Commercial Club students appre- ciate the fact that we are able to have such a fine club, and we offer our sin- cerest thanks to Miss Tapley who has made our club a success. One of our members, Harriett Laugh- ton, was absent when the above picture was taken. M. Cook, '39 ll WINTHROP WINNER JUNIOR ONE-ACT PLAY U. Ricker, J. Kimball, M. Cushman, Miss Frost. N.

Although Elmer Cleans Up, didn't receive first place, it came within a few points of the winner, which was the play that the Junior class of Edward Little High School presented. The suc- cess of Elmer Cleans Up was greatly due to the efiicient coaching of both Miss Orissa Frost and Mr. LaPlant of the faculty of VVinthrop High School.

Mr. Cruncher: Well, wife hain't supper ready yet? Mrs. Cruncher: It will be in just a minute jerry. Peer's like you got here a dite early didn't ye PU Mr. Cruncher: Now woman don't be a-giving me that kind of an excuse. If you'd give more of your attention to a- tending the vittles, instead of doing your flopping now and then, this family of Crunchers would be getting along a darn sight better than they are nowf' Mrs. Cruncher: Now Jerry I -- Mr. Cruncher cuts in: And another thing. I don't want you to do any of your meditating tonight. The Lord knows Illl have hard enough time to run my honest trade, without having to work agin your floppingf' Mrs. Cruncher: 6' But I don't pray against youg I pray for youf, Mr. Cruncher: I know better. Young Jerry impatiently: Ma, isnlt supper ready yet? I'm hungryf, ' Mrs. Cruncher: Yes, jerry don't get impatient. I'll put it on the table now. She picks up the soup kettle and dishes out a portion to each plate. Qld Jerry and young Jerry sit down and start sip- ping soup. Mr. Cruncher: H Say wife what did you put in this soup that tastes so funny Pl' Mrs. Cruncher sitting down: It must have been that egg I put in. Prob- ably it was a bit old. Young Jerry: If you ask me it was rotten. Mrs. Cruncher K' Now who asked you anyway?', fPausing a momentj 'fjerry keep your whiskers out of the water pitcher. Mr. Cruncher: KNOW wife. Hain't I a right to put my whiskers in my own water pitcher if I want to? I had to work hard enough at my honest trade to get it. I should think that you would- Young Ierryg' interrupting: Ma, can I have some more soup ? Mrs. Cruncher dips out some more soup to Jerry. On the return trip she spills half a ladle full into Mr. Crun- cheris lap. Mr. Cruncher jumps up and knocks his wife against the wall with a loud thud. Mr. Cruncher: 0 h o o l Jeepers Creepers wife. Do you have ta scald me ta death, just because you've got a grudge against me? Heavens knows you do enough damage ta me flopping without burning my hide off from mef, Young -Terry: N Did it take any of the rust off from your hands Pa PM Mr. Cruncher licking the soup off from his trousers: H You close your mouth you little imp or I'1l pin your ears back for youf, Mrs. Cruncher: Ilm sorry I spilled any soup on you, really I amf' Mr. Cruncher: You shut up too. I know very well you did it on purpose. The mention of the soup affair enraged Mr. Cruncher so much that he picked up the table and was about to throw it at Mrs. Cruncher when Jerry interrupted. f'Hey, dad, put the table back, Ilm hun- gryvii! Mr. Cuncher slowly put the table back and says: l'll let it go this time, but don't let it happen again. The supper is resumed once again. Young Jerry: Pa, are you going fishing tonight ?H XVINTHROP HIGH SCHOOL 22 Mr. Cruncher: Well--I calculate to, son, if things go right. Young Jerry: What thing for in- stance P Mr. Cruncher: Well son, things, just things. Silence for a few minutes in which gurgling soup is emphasized. Young Jerry: Gian I go too pa P Mr. Cruncher: Go where? Young Jerry: Go .fishing of course. Mr. Cruncher: I should say not. You aren't old enough yet. Young Jerry: May I when I get older pa PM Mr. Cruncher: Perhaps, I'll see when the time comesf, Silence of a few more seconds. f Young Jerry: Are you going to bring any fish home tonight pa P Mr. Cruncher getting red: May- haps yes, and mayhaps noli' Young jerry: Were they biting good last night PM Mr. Cruncher rises in wrath: I can't be bothered by your infernal ques- tions any more. Mrs. Cruncher gets up and takes the dishes from the table. Mr. Cruncher goes to a chair and takes off his shoes. Young jerry yawns and goes to his bed and reclines there. SCENE II It is late at night: all are asleep but Jerry and his father. Mr. Cruncher rises from his bed and draws on his boots. This done he goes to the cupboard and brings forth a handful of crackers which he eats with a loud crunching noise. This done he crosses the room tripping over a chair as he does so. He mutters some- thing under his breath and goes to a closet bringing forth a coil of rope, a spade, an iron bar, and a few odds and ends. Young Jerry peers quietly up over a tattered blanket and says: Going fishing pa PU Mr. Cruncher jumps as if shot, strik- ing his head on the closet door. He rubs his head and mutters angrily- Yes, I amf' Young Jerry: Your fishing tackle is kind of rusty isn't it P Mr. Cruncher: You keep quiet. I don't want to Wake your mother up. Young jerry: Why not Pl' VVith this Mr. Cruncher leaves the house in a great rage. Young jerry slips quietly out of bed fully dressed and leaves the house after his father. SCENE III In the early hours of the morning Young Jerry returns -to his home again. I-Ie bursts into the house waking his mother up. Mrs. Cruncher sleepily: Why Jerry where have you been at this time of nightP Jerry with chattering teeth: And he chased me, he chased me, I saw him, he flopped over the big iron fence and chased me through the country. Mrs. Cruncher looking around for something to bar the door with: Jerry stop that whining and tell me what hap- pened. i Jerry: It chased me-it-- Mrs. Cruncher interrupting: What chased you P Jerry: The coffin. It followed me all the way home. Mrs. Cruncher cuffed Jerry and said: Now Jerry if you donlt tell me what happened Illl give you the licking that you deserve. . Jerry somewhat calmed began: VV ell ma it was like this. I wanted to know what kind of an honest trade Pa was at nights. So, I decided to investigate. Tonight I stayed awake and waited for Pa to go on his honest expedition. About one o'clock or such, I heard Pa get up and get his fishing tackle and go out. After he left, I got up and went after him but I was careful not to let him see me. Down the road a-piece, he was joined by two other fishermen who also carried fishing rodsf' I followed them 24 WINTHRO P WINNER to the big cemetery where they climbed over the iron gate. I watched them go among the grave stonesf' Here jerry paused and shuddered. Mrs. Cruncher: Go on jerry. Pretty soon they hauled up some- thing from the ground and it was a coffin. He again paused and shuddered. And then I -I turned and ran and -and the thing chased me down the streetfl . Here Jerry completely broke down with fright. Mrs. Cruncher comforted him: Bosh Jerry. That was just your imagina- tion getting the best of you. But Jerry was still unconvinced. I tell you it chased me, I saw it. Mrs. Cruncher: lVell drop the mat- ter entirely Jerry, Pause of a fewseconds. 6' XVhen your father comes home don't let on you know anything about his honest trade.

Town Gossip Around the stovev in the small town's general store was gathered an unusual array of characters discussing heatedly the never failing topic, politics. The air was filled with the aroma of tobacco. Directly behind the large, dilapidated Round Gak sits no one other than the personage known as Tom, assistant tire chief, on the now empty cranberry crate. Tom, an old bach, who lived in the local inn, is short and stout and dressed in sawdust laden khaki pants, gray Han- nel shirt with a blue bandanna handker- chief knotted about his neck. Beneath kind, friendly eyes rests a gray, neatly trimmed moustache while in the corner of his mouth is found that never failing cigar. Tall of stature and thin, Sam is seen leaning against the candy show- case expounding one of the stories from his never exhaustible supply about his ex- periences as a garageman to his adven- tures at Forty-Mile. He is wearing the regular woodsman costume, heavy red plaid shirt, dark pants with high leather top, laced boots and a two-days growth of whiskers encircles his lean, ruddy face.

But promptly at nine the assembly must disperse and the store be locked up for the night. Florence Stinchlield, 38 XVINTI-IROP HIGH SCHOOL 'J Brave Little Peter Once upon a time there was a family who lived in a little red house on the top of a hill. There was Mamma and Papa Rabbit and their four children Topsy, Mopsy, Pussy, and Peter, Now Topsy, Mopsy, and Pussy were all sisters so Peter was the only son. He was a good little boy and liked to help his father. One very cold morning Papa Rabbit woke up and found there was no wood left and the house was cold. Pretty soon Mama Rabbit got out of bed and started to get some breakfast. She hunted through all the cupboards but alas, she could hnd nothing to eat. The children were up now and now the sisters were crying because they were cold and hungry. Now, the store was way, way, way down in the valley and Papa Rabbit could not go down to buy any wood or food because he had a broken leg which pained him very much. VVell, Peter instead of crying walked straight up to his Papa and said, as he stood straight and tall, I'll go down to the store if you wish. So Peter started off with his mothers big basket under his left arm, his fathers big, warm coat tucked around his little body and T opsyis little, red mittens on his furry hands. Mamma Rabbit was afraid to let little Peter go all alone in in the dark, dark woods to the store. But Peter said, I'm not afraid to go. I will not let my family starve. And away he ran down, down the big, steep hill till Papa Rabbit could see him no longer. His little sisters watched through the window while big drops of water streamed down their hungry faces. Do not cryfl said their mother, H Peter will soon be back with some nice red carrotsfl Now, wasn't Peter a brave son? Margaret Jones, ,38 Books as Magic Carpets ,Xfter a busy day spent in traveling from one noisy place to another, tending to my daily tasks, it is restful to return in the evening to my quiet, pleasant, old- fashioned library' with its good,,wlell- used books and a bright fire. I know of no greater joy than that. My books carry me to far off lands, from Alaska to New Zealand. Every page is an introduction to some new people or race. Their customs, habits, costumes and occupations are disclosed to me. I get acquainted personally with their musicians, statesmen, painters and writers. I Often times I stop in the midst of my reading and ponder over the things I have been studying, and imagine myself in those distant, far-away countries. Now I am in Holland wandering among fields of tulips, now I am visiting the Eskimos. NVhy, now I am riding on an elephants back in India. Tomorrow night I may be back in our own hemisphere and our own United States traveling in California, visiting the movie actors in Hollywood. XV ho knows what the next day will bring? It's ever so much more fun to travel over the globe my way, while sitting at home in an easy chair before a roaringfire than journeying on a dusty, dirty train for hours to unknown destinations. I Travel is by no means the only thing to be derived from books. Knowledge about any subject can be found in them. Some people have the idea that any book is dull and uninteresting reading but it is far from that. Books can be your most valued possession and your life-long com- panions if you will only let them be. VVhy not get as much enjoyment out of life as you can? Buy or borrow a book C not a dime-novell and spend one eve- ning at home reading. This one evening of enjoyment is sure to lead to many others in your lifetime. Florence . Stinchfield, '38 26 VVINTHROP WINNER The Wilderness Trail It was ten days since Sergeant Davis had left Fort jackson on the trail of Bill Reed wanted for the shooting of a man back .in the states. Yesterday he left the river and picking up the law-breakerls trail continued on with snowshoes. It was winter, but this particular day the sun was out, shining from a cloudless sky. As Sergeant Davis pushed on thru the brush his thoughts went back to his boyhood and presently came back to the present and the fugitive. He loved his work but not this kindg going out after a man and bringing him back, sort of a cat and mouse affair. For once the H Mounties 'I were on the trail the man had but a slim chance to escape. Ouch! he exclaimed suddenly. A branch across the trail stung him across his face and brought him back in his senses again. Guess I better look where I'm going, he said. Wfowl Look at those clouds. Un- less I'm mighty mistaken therels going to be one sweet storm. A bank of black, menacing clouds had come up and it was to these that he glanced for a moment. 'K I'd better hurry up or the storm will cover up his tracksf' VVith this he fastened his snowshoes on more secure and hurried on. A while back he had come upon some warm ashes, remnants of a fire and he knew his man wasn't far off. For an hour or so he kept up a terrinc pace. Meanwhile the clouds had shut out the sun and already the wind began to blow through the tree tops. In a few minutes thin flakes of snow began to fall. Davis knew he wouldnlt be able to catch up with the man ahead and so he began to look for a place to shelter him from the storm. 1 Suddenly he felt himself sinking and before he could attempt to save himself he was waist deep in water. He felt his snowshoe straps snap in his plunge and thus his legs were free. Desperately he clutched to the thin ice surrounding him. I-Ie had learned many things while in training school and he was mighty thank- ful now. In a second he freed his pack straps and heard everything slide into the water. Breaking the thin ice, he pulled him- self ashore and clambered up the bank. The blast of the storm struck his wet figure with hurricane force and freezing temperature. I've got to find shelter quickf' he muttered through chattering teeth. K' I'm freezing to death. Continuing along the trail without snowshoes, he felt his strength waning after a few hundred yards. K' I can't keep this up any longer, he whispered. K' Things are turning black, but I've got to keep going, I've got to. Saying this he sank to the ground un- conscious. How long ago this happened, he knew not, for when he awoke he felt the warmth of a fire and apparently the storm was over. I wonder where I am? How is it that Ilm living? H All these and many other questions filled his troubled mind as he lay in a crude shelter. At that moment a man entered. You awake FU he inquired. Feeling any better? U i'Yes, I am, Davis replied. And you're the one who saved my life, I believe. Aw, thatls all right, forget itf, 'K Not me, I only hope I can repay you somehow somedayf, By the way I'm Sergeant Davis of the R. N. M. P., what is yours ? Bill Reed, replied the man non- chalantly. It's -'I Bill Reed, gasped the Sergeant. I-Iere let me take a good look at you. Yeh, I guess you are,', he said slowly remembering the picture at headquarters. VVINTHROP HIGH SCHOOL 27 Silence prevailed a while and then Davis spoke up. You can't be a killer, not with what you've done for me. I-Iow did you hap- pen to kill the man? Well, it was over money that I bor- rowed from a loan shark. He threatened me and one night in his office, more of a den, when he saw I wasnIt able to pay the money plus the enormous interest, he pulled a gun. In the dark his gun went off during the struggle and I left him there. Afterwards I learned he was dead and knowing the odds were against me, I skipped town and hit for Canada. The rest you knowf' I see, mused Davis. Why didn't you leave me outside there to die in the storm? 1' Iyd rather not answer that one, re- plied Reed looking away from Davis. A week went by and Sergeant Davis was well again, ready to go back with his prisoner to headquarters. Some- thing seemed to trouble him however, and finally when Reed said that it was time to go back ffor some reason he didn't escape when he had a chance toj, Davis spoke. I've made up my mind. Iim going to let you go freef, The other one stared. I Are you mad? VVhy you'll be risking arrest and - That can take care of itselfff Davis cut in. Three days later two men stood on the bank of a river near a canoe. Best of luck to youf' spoke Davis with a tremor in his voice and shaking Reedis hand. The money I gave you should take you back to civilization, by a round about way and give you a new start in life. I-I know you,ll make good. You donit know what this means to me, replied Reed. I'll go to some small town so the police wouldn,t have so much chance to recognize me and you can depend on me to live an honest life. I -I -, his voice choked and he turned abruptly and quickly disappeared in the woods behind. A week later back at headquarters Davis turned in his report. This is what it read. - DEAD BILL REED FOUND DEAD OF EREEZING STOP 58 M I L E S NORTHVVEST OF FORT JACKSON STOP fSignedj Sergeant Davis Lewis Hozempa, ,'39.

Chester Lavalle, 40 T28 WINTHROP WINNER Sapphire Bradley gazed around the room. His eyes roved carelessly from diamond rings to pearl necklaces and glittering bracelets captured his attention for breathless seconds. He though of how fortunate he was to have met the charming Lady Easton. Now he was working in society. He was no longer an ordinary thief. He recalled the following conversation which came to his ears quite unexpectedly, then droned on monotonously: My dear! Wotild you believe it! She is going to wear it tonight! Really? How can she dare! They say there is a curse on it. l shiver to think of having it in my possession! The greatest prize to a thief would be the Compton sapphire ! She probably just can't resist the temptation to show it off. You know how she is: but darling, l can hardly wait to see it ! XVell, all I can say iswetc.-etcf- Bradley's purpose was to get the Comp- ton sapphire. He couldn't waste time marveling at other brilliant gems. His eyes darted endlessly around. There! There it was! He mustnit lose sight of it! He mustn't become excited! Keep- ing calm, cool and collected was his big asset. The evening wore on with Brad- ley's eyes fixed on the beautiful sapphire. Finally, guests were leaving. The Comp- ton sapphire was unclasped, handed to a tall, distinguished looking gentleman, and placed unnoticable in a tall silk hat. In a second it would be safe again. Brad- ley was the only person who noticed this movement. He mulst work fast. His actions were smooth and clever. Then, he hailed a taxi. Then he was speeding away to safety. No one would know who took it. Many people had the op- portunity. He would show jones his prize. jones would be amazed. Bradley had worked with him for a long time. But if he ditched jones wouldn't he be more profitable? lt would be safer to work alone anyway. The cab stopped. Bradley paid the driver and strode up the steps. He reached into his pocket to clasp the jewel into his hand. He swal- lowed hard. The jewel was gone! Wfhere? The taxi! Maybe he dropped it in the taxi! Hey! Wait a minute! He rushed down the steps and ran for the taxi, but the cab driver drove on unheeding. Now what? Hey taxi, follow that cab and hurry. As soon as he caught up with the car, he changed cars and searched desperately. His fingers felt along the seat. Cold beads of perspiration stood out upon his forehead. Then, his fingers felt a hard cold object. He found it! XVhew! That sure was a close one! He moped his brow and heaved a big sigh. His heart beating wildly, he returned to his hotel. 'When he opened the door of his room he found jones sitting upright in his chair with an excited look of ex- pectancy covering his long face. How was the luck tonight, Bradley? Did ,ja get it ? Bradley snapped, Yeah, I got it. But never mind that now. Grab your bags and step on it. VVe've got to catch the S. S. Rumaniaf' Bradley grinned, thinking of his clev- erness and how he was going to give jones the slip in Europe. On the boat in the seclusion of a state- room, Bradley thrust his hands into his pockets and squared his shoulders. He said, VVell, jonsie, want to see it? This will show you that I can tell a jewel when I see one. There is no use denying it. lim clever and I know it. Here-here it is. See? Isn't she a beauty PM jones turned his eyes upon the shining object. He paused, then his eyes widened and he said, Bradey! thatis -'l Bradley interrupted saying, Yeah! Tsn't that a wonderful job, though ?!! jones gazed at him for a second, then smiled and said. Sure, Bradley, Sure. XVINTHROP HIGH SCHOOL 29 let's drink to your cleverness, eh? old man ? Paris in the Spring! The boastful young man walked along the street with a carefree swing in his arms. He was rid of jones now. Ha! ha! he really was clever at that. That evening in his suite Bradley took out the sapphire and turned it over and over in his lingers. Suddenly the door flew open. He looked up. His face turned white. jones was standing before him! He said, I know what you're here for, jones, but it won't work, see? It wonlt work because I won't let it! A shining metal object flashed in his hand. jones raised his hand and gasped, No! Bradley! wait! I--- No! jones, it won't work, it's mine and I'm going to keep it, see ?'! jones suddenly grasped his wrist and both men struggled fiercely. The gem dropped to the floor. Then a shot rang out through the room. jones staggered back and fell, lifeless, to the floor. The hard, cold, shining stone glittered up at Bradley mockingly. At' that instance, across the ocean, in the richly furnished room of a large es- tate, a beautiful sapphire gleamed forth its brilliance to a pair of deep, blue eyes. A soft, low voice said, Oh! You lovely thing! How lucky I was not to have worn you that evening instead of that horrid paste and imitation!!

It is very hard to determine whether or not most people get enough I' out of life. The people who seem to be getting the most out of life are often times the very people who are really failures. Their appearance of gaiety is just a shell built up, to hide from the world and also themselves, the fact that their lives are meaningless. On the other hand, the person whom you see every day going about his own business quietly enjoying the little things of life is very apt to be the person who will be the happiest. Happiness does not depend upon action, excitement, thrills, rush and ballyhoo . In fact, happi- ness which depends upon these things is not true happiness but just a hollow thing which will easily disappear and leave only a nervous strain behind. Do you enjoy the right things? Is your happiness built around the right kind of life? Take for instance the people around you. Do you enjoy the elderly people as well as the K' younger set ? You should always remember that the young may die soon but the old must. Remembering that fact, you should spend all of your available time with your older acquaintances and, whether you think so or not, you will find that the older people are much more entertaining, interesting and uplifting. Children too are easily slighted. Do you remember the other day when you were already to go out for a walkwith your best churn that you were too busy to notice little johnny who lives next door? Or maybe, I am ashamed to say, you neglected him because perhaps he had a dirty face or soiled clothes. Perhaps you never have time for little sisterys who, crying over a broken doll,', you scorn- full y say. But you should remember that she is much smaller than you are and that things which seem very small to you are large to her. 30 WINTHROP VVINNER Now to discuss another side of life with you. Do you enjoy nature or are you so wrapt up with plans for your next social that you fail to notice the beautiful sunset or Mother's Garden? Are you, by chance, one of these people who never enjoy nature unless it sets off the latest style 'I of your home or perhaps the green foliage of Mother's hedge creates a marvelous background for your new dress. VVe should all realize that nature is more than just a background for us, a stage upon which we are to show off. It is really one of the most beautiful things of life. And if we are going to really enjoy life and be really happy we must enjoy our surroundings for what they are. Mary Cushman, '39, The Faery Fish Once, in the land of VVillow, ruled a king who had a daughter of unusual beauty. News of her blue eyes, golden hair, sweet smile and gentle personality reached all over the world of Make- believe. Every day the king would see many new suitors coming to seek his daughter's hand in marriage. Not one would he ever claim as his son-in-law. He was getting very weary of talking to all these fellows and sending them away and his daughter was not going to marry a good-for-nothing, worthless prince, so he derived the plan of a faery fish . Quickly he summoned his pages and am- bassadors of business to help carry out his plans. First, his pages were to bring his magic ring and with this and a few words he placed a beautiful silvery pond just outside the palace walls. Then with another twist he had a faery hshl' placed in the pond that no man could catch except one who is pure of heart, ambitious and many other likable charac- teristics. Then he had his ambassadors of business send to all parts of Make- Believe VVorld the notice that no man could come in request of his daughter's hand unless he caught and brought the faery fish with him to the palace. Princes came and princes went but none were able to catch the faery fish no matter what plan or devise they used. The King and Honey Gold were about ready to give up hope of the right man coming when one day they noticed a young man walking down the trail sing- ing as he came. He was walking not riding on royal splendor as the others did and he was alone not with ten or more servants. Yet there was something about him that brought a Hush to Honey Gold's cheek. In her heart she knew he was the right one. Oh how she hoped he caught the faery fish and that he was worthy. There was no great show of wealth, as by the others, but the Prince, he was a prince of huge wealth, walked up to the pond and with the simple hook, line and sinker, caught the 'K faery Hsh on the hrst throw. Happiness reigned all over the King- dom of VVillow at the perfect match of their princess. Alida Bowens, l38. The Forgotten Playground Merry laughter and shouts of glee rang through the tall trees of the VVill- iams' Playground. From early morning till late afternoon the familiar sounds could be heard. . Paper packed in an old can near the gate was burning and the smoke seemed to dance about with the children. The table made of rough boards and the long home made bench took care of seventy- tive little hungry mouths. The old rope swing carried them up to the branches of the tree and the saw-horse gave them many merry rides up in the air. Now the closed gates have fallen from their hinges and the table top has rotted away. The old home made bench has long been taken away. A sad sight to behold The Forgotten Playground. Rachel Kinney, '38 VVINTHROP HIGH SCHOOL 31 A Description of a Person Around the bend of the dusty road appeared the form of a slowly moving figure. VVhen it was in full view it re- vealed the countenance of a man. His haggard and drawn face bore the marks of the hot sun. Long stringy gray hair clung in knots at the nape of his neck. The dust blending with the perspiration on his face erased all traces of identifi- cation. A wide brimmed hat, flattened on the top, sheltered his head. His stature, which was at one time tall, was deprived of its length when Age placed a crook in his body. His long hooked nose was in harmony with the rest of his face. Two long yellow teeth projected above his lower lip. His long arms dangled loosely from the sleeves of his ragged and dilap- idated coat. His pants weighed down by gravel he carried in the cuffs of them, clung stiflly to his body. The smell of warm leather emerged from his soleless shoes. Now and then a muffled groan escaped his lips. But this disregarded human trudged along, making in himself a very strange picture. Annie Adams, i38.

Her home was a small hut on the edge of a town. She lived with her mother and father. She had a little dog named Bim, and a cute cat named Ginger. Tuesday was her day to keep house for mother. Mother always went to market on Tuesday and sold her cheese and milk. VVhen Tuesday came Janis mother started to market and as soon as she disappeared over the hill jan decided to play with her cat, Ginger. After a short time she became tired of this and decided to go see her grandmother who lived a short distance away. So, jan put on her bright red cap with a big ball of sheeps wool on top. She got her bright red coat from the closet. Then she started out. The sun was shining and she stopped to watch the birds, singing in the trees. Soon. jan became sleepy so she curled up under an old tree. Presently she was in slumber land. She dreamed she was in fairy land. Little elves led her to a small hut in a deep forest and told her to enter. It big was a beautiful little house just enough for jan. There was candy and jan cake and a lot of good things to eat. ate a lot until her belly was round and full. She saw a pink dog and a red cat and oh! a lot of other things. jan had eaten so much she felt very sleepy. Bun, a little elf dressed in Royal purple showed jan a bed in which she could sleep. It was a very small bed and jan's feet went way out over the top, then the sandman came and she went to sleep in dream land. jan awoke with a start and stared all about her. She jumped up and started for home, for it was getting dark. When she reached home her mother was getting supper. After supper she told her story to her mother. Then she became very sleepy and her mother tucked her in bed and jan soon fell asleep. That is the story of a little girl in Sweden. Ruth House, ,3S. T42 VVINTHROP XYINNICR Flight to Glory VVith its two powerful motors slowly turning over, a giant Lockhead plane sat posed for flight in front of one of the hangers at Newark airport in New Jer- sey. Several mechanics made last min- ute adjustments while the two pilots stood nervously talking with a number of reporters. A huge crowd milled around outside the gate trying to get a glimpse of the plane and pilots. Suddenly a door in the administration flew open and a blue uniformed man came running out. He rushed up to the plane with the news that the weather had finally cleared. Both pilots climbed in and made their way to the isle between the huge gas tanks and eased their way into the small cockpit. With one last word to friends they opened up first one and then the other motor, listening to its sturdy roar, checked their instruments and then idled them. They seemed to be waiting for something and then it came, the green light from the dispatch tower giving them the right to take off. Now both powerful motors suddenly roared in uni- son almost making the ground shake. Dust, stones, peoples' hats, and every- thing loose was blown around as the plane slowly turned to get on the large runway. The plane started to move faster and faster. Half way down the runway the tail showly lifted. A sort of queer stillness hung over the crowd. Everyone was thinking the same thing. Could the two roaring motors, hung on thick silvery wings, lift the enormous weight of nearly Hfteen hundred gallons of gasolene? Almost at the end of the runway one wing came up a little but fell back. The pilot was attempting to take it into the air. The plane reached the end of the runway and bounded heavily up and stayed up a few feet above the crowd, slowly but surely the pilot gained altitude, and the plane faded into the distance. Once again an attempt was being made to fly nonstop over the North Pole to Russia. Barry Rand the pilot with his co-pilot Dick Barnes sat nervously checking and rechecking their one hun- dred and forty instruments. Several hours later the broad Pacific Ocean lay beneath their left wing. On the right the snowy white falcons stretched out. The clock on the panel slowly moved around till it read seven oyclock. Exactly at the moment it reached seven, Dick reached for the radio to make another of his hourly radio checkups. He turned a blank lever until the pointer of two in- struments both quivered at the home station wave length. Then he held up the mike and softly repeated number 206 to Newark, go ahead Newarkf, After doing this several times he snapped another switch and fainly caught Newark acknowledging his call, then he gave the position. altitude, and airspeed and signed off. The air grew bumpy and the fog began to get thicker. Radio contact grew fainter and fainter until it was lost altogether. Hours later through the clouds they caught a glimpse of the snow and ice. Their instruments showed them to be within five miles of the Pole, then the clouds closed in again. Hour after hour passed with the thick white mist rolling past the windows, so thick that the wing tips were hidden from view. One of the motors began to heat and slowly lost power. Dick and Jim worked nervously with various instruments try- ing to keep it running but their efforts failed to do any good. Presently the motor kicked a last time and went dead. The plane, unable to stay in the air with the heavy load, settled down to the ocean beneath. Dick shook hands with Barry but neither of them said a word. The altimeter slowly settled, then with a wail- ing roar the plane hit the water. For weeks both the Russians and .Xmericans in hundreds of planes and boats searched the water where Dick and Barry were last heard from but they were nnally forced to give up and two more pilots' names were added to those who XYINTHROP HIGH SCHOOL 321 failed before them. It was a foolish loss of life in the eyes of the average per- son but reasons that are kept from the public have been the objects of many seemingly worthless flights that have really pioneered the path now followed by huge horsepower planes with great safety.

On Seeing a Horse Race llands playing--drum majors strut- ting- hot choking dust-and a mass of people wait breathlessly for what?-- for the big event of the day,-THE RACES ! ! ! The bands disperse and the people set- tle down, waiting for the appearance of the horses. Many are going over their racing sheets and still others are placing last-minute bets. How feverishly they toss their money to the waiting girl at the stand, who knowns that they will never beat racing! Back to the stands and to numerous speculations as to the merits of the horses that you placed your money on. All this ceases as the horses are led from their stables to the track. VVhat beauties they are! How their satiny coats gleam in the sun. How royally they strut with their jockey's hunched over like little gnomes on their backs. They are led to their places and the crowd leans tensely forward. A shot! The barriers are jerked up and the cry is raised- 'A They're off ! Can this be a civilized crowd? This tortured mass of humanity, screaming, beseeching, imploring-a man over in the next isle has completely lost control of himself.

Life was opening like a book for himg a life, unfortunately of hardships and few joys, for Brown jacket was a small, spindly- legged fawn. His home was in the deep woods of Maine, but not far enough from the guns of men to be called safe. In the summer, when he wasn't hunted by men, his life was made miserable by wolves, wildcats and other carnivorous animals. The first few weeks of his existence were perhaps the happiest that he was to experience. He soon grew out of the suckling stage and began to feed on grass and tender buds. Une day as he was daintily nibbling on some succulent boughs beside his mother, a shot rang out. VVith the shot his mother went to her knees but quickly re- covered and with a strangled whimper kept on. Another shot spit the quiet of the forest but mother and fawn were by that time in a dense thicket and the shot took no toll of either beast. They ran for about two miles although the mother was making hard work of the last mile. Sud- denly she again fell down and this time did not get up but lay coughing her life away while Brown jacket looked on with a mixture of fear and curiosity. Finally with a convulsive movement of her body his mother closed her eyes, her limbs straightened out and her eyes be- came glassy. Poor Brown jacket was an orphan as his father had long fallen prey to a hunter's sure aim. For several hours Brown Jacket stayed by the side of his dead mother. Finally night fell and the fawn wandered further into the thicket and there bedded for the night. In the morning he woke to the glory of a new day. His first thought was of his mother but with the natural instinct of a wild animal, which is self preserva- tion, he began to feed. He missed the companionship of his mother but after awhile the urge to keep moving and liv- ing gradually drove thoughts of her out of his mind. The memory of an animal for parents or of parents for their off- spring is short. The memory of the shot which wiped out his mother stayed with him, however, and he kept to the dense woods and thickets where he fed and grew tall and fat. VVhen he heard the sound of fire- arms in the distance he went on the wings of the wind to safer pastures. Following the close of the hunting season from which he escaped unscathed Brown Jacket had his first experience with snow. At first it was easy to feed, later as the snow became deeper it was more difficult to get down to the ground for forage. Other deer joined him and for several months they kept together, treading down the snow until they could reach the food which meant existence. Fortunately Brown Jackets first win- ter was a mild one and he emerged in the spring considerably thinner but other- wise hale and hearty. The spring and summer months were a real pleasure ex- cept for the black flies which bothered for some time. His apology for a tail was slim protection from the myriads of insects which clustered on all parts of his body. At times he would lie in streams or submerge himself in a lake up to his head in order to get temporary relief. It was at this time he was bothered by a head-ache which he was unable to account for, until one day two tiny spiked horns broke through the skin on the top of his head. Brown Jacket was now a full-fledged buck deer although he had not as yet reached his full growth. Through the summer months and the early fall, Brown jacket had been quite content to browse by himself or with other bucks but as the nights grew colder he began to think that life was not quite WINTHROP HIGH SCHOOL 35 complete. Little things made him irri- tated and he had several minor quarrels with brother bucks. This feeling persisted until one day, while drinking at a rippling brook not yet caressed by Jack Frost's icy touch, he heard a noise nearby. Looking up he beheld a shapely doe just about to drink from the same stream. Brown jacket viewed this intrusion with mixed emotions. The female sex, up to this time, had not been a part of his life. Shortly, however, he overcame his hesitation and, with the assurance of the dominant male, softly rubbed noses with his companion. Through some mysterious alchemy, unknown to humans, this slight contact seemed to disclose the life history of each deer, one to the other. No further court- ship was necessary, apparently, as from that time on the two were inseparable. And later, as the setting sun bathed them in its golden rays, the newly-mated pair walked into the twilight and, we hope, into a ripe old age unharmed by hunters and other animals. George C.

Oliver Jackson, '-ll Description This was a very dark night and I walked through the heart of Chinatown in New York City. There was a slight breeze blowing upon my back and as I walked past an alley I expected a China- nian to jump upon my back and stab me with a knife. To my surprise nothing happened. The wind made the signs rattle and creak like rusty windmills and once in a while I could see a Chinaman peering at me from within a house. As I passed an alley I could hear a man uttering prayers who was perhaps a dope fiend. I passed the shop of a wealthy merchant whose beautiful store was decorated with bright colors. Ilater noticed a fine Chinese hotel with one window after another towering high up into the air. This Chinese hotel is perhaps the most beau- tiful one I have seen in my twenty-odd years of travel.

Neala VVhitney, '39 Transport tion 1743 Irlaye you ever thought how other people before your time had to travel? .Xs you speed along a wonderful highway in a thousand dollar limousine do you wonder how it would be if you were late to an important football game and had to depend on a buckboard and mud-filled roads to get there? In the early days of America a man thinking ahead to such things as men- tioned above would be chased out of the country. The best means of transporta- tion any man had was a horse or a car- riage. The roads were rough, dirty, muddy, and narrow. Suppose you had an important letter to send. You would leave it at the post office for the post rider to collect and trust to luck that he would get through with it. lf it was going a long ways several stops would be made. lf it was going to a thinly settled place a hold up would be the biggest worry. Compare sea traveling to-day with the crude way of 1743. Now you go to a big office where tickets are bought and you are assured of a room. In those days you just asked the captain if he had any room for you. You do not have to worry about eat- ing while on to-day's liners but in early sailing you had to take your own food supply. lVhere it took forty days to cross in 1711-3 it only takes from four to six now. All ships sail at the stated time to-day but a fair-wind was the excuse for the boats fitted with sails. Now, when the car is broken down, or the train is always late, or the bus isn't good enough to ride on any- way,'i just stop and think of the nice times your ancestors had while riding to church in a buckboard. James Hinds, '40, The Pioneer Crack! Crack! spoke a rifle high on the peak of a mountain overlooking a stretch of plain. Below, Don Sawyer, the leader of a band of pioneers, turned in the saddle of his mount and, shading the sun from his eyes, looked toward the peak from which the shot had been fired. He saw Hawk- eye, so called for his keenness of sight, waving his hat slowly back' and forth This meant trouble. Turning his mount, Don raced back to the wagon train. 'K jim, said Don to ,his younger brother, You have the wagons formed in a circle while I ride up and meet Hawk- eye. With this Don rode off. VVhen Hawkeye saw Don approach- ing he pointed in the direction ahead of the wagon train. Looking, Don saw a band of Indian warriors in a conference. XVhat do you think will be their next move and have they sited us yet ? asked Don of Hawkeye. 4' They have seen usf' replied Hawk- eye. lt is a band of Shawnee In- dians, and planning an attack. We had better go back to the train and prepare. After reaching the caravan Don said. addressing them all, 'K There is a band of XYINTHROP HIGH SCHOOL .ii Indians preparing to attack us so unload the ammunition, get the older men and women with the children into the rein- forced wagon and block the spaces be- tween and under the other wagons with boxes. There was no fear in the hearts of these sturdy pioneers, for they had often with- stood attacks of other Indian tribes. Before the In'dians could be seen, their shrill war whoops were heard ringing through the air. Then around the bend they galloped to be greeted by a volley of rifle shots' from within the circle of wagons. The air was rent by shrieks from dying braves and the squeal of wounded horses. But within the wagon circle all was quiet except for the sound of gun fire and the whistle and thud of arrows. Each man knew his life de- pended on driving the Indians off and no unnecessary chances were taken. The women also played an important part in defending the band. As fast as the rifles were emptied the women rehlled them. At last the Indians retreated but, as the pioneers knew, only to plan another at- tack. Soon they came again, this time at- tacking from all sides. Many braves were killed and some women in the pioneer group lost their husbands. This only served to make each remaining man and woman fight harder for his life. This hghting was kept up till dark, and then the Indians retreated. Scouts were posted around the wagons to keep watch throughout the night and those who could, slept. The day dawned, clear and bright, with no signs of the Indians. Breakfast was prepared and preparations made for starting. Soon all was in readiness and the little band started off. Some rode on horse- back others road in the wagons, each to his own liking. The scouts were sent ahead to pick the trail and to watch for any signs of danger. About noon they reached the desert. Here they ate their meal and each one prayed to the good God in heaven to let them pass safely through this land of barren sand. .Xs night drew on they saw signs that put fear in the hearts of even the bravest. Human skulls and here and there the remnants of other wagon trains showed the misfortune of other trains before them. However, after their evening meal they gathered around the Hre to tell jokes and talk about everything in general. But there were two who sat in a spot outside the outside of the view of the others. One was Don and the other a daughter of one of the men killed in the recent Indian raid. This was Mary Blake, a strong, healthy, good looking woman who would make any man happy, or so thought Don. You know, Maryf' said Don look- ing at her, K' I am wondering if the land in Oregon is really as good as the stories we hear about it and if there will be plenty of land for all of us. You never can tellf' answered Mary, but anyway it can't be any worse than starving back home. Then they sat silent for a while gaz- ing at the sky and the wide empty space ahead of them. Maryf, whispered Don, leaning near her, did you ever want to tell someone something and yet couldn't End the words or the way to say it ?'I VVhy, Don, I don't ever remember that I havef, she answered with a twin- kle in her eye. Tell me what it is and maybe I can help youf' Mary, would it surprise you if I told you I loved you?U 'K No, Don, I have been hoping you would say that for a long time. I re- member when we were just kids, how I always wanted to be with you and play the same games you did. Ch! darling if it wasn't for poor dad. I could be so happyff 38 W'lNTl-IROI' VVINNER You know, Mary, said Don ten- derly, I will take care of your mother and you, if you will only let me. Yes, Don, but still, daddy was so good to me, and poor mother loved him soy You will have to forget, dear, and let me try to cheer your life for you. It is getting late and we must go in now. There will be a hard day ahead of us to- morrow, but we must be brave. Good- night, Mary.', Goodnight, Don, I'll do my best to cheer mother and try to make her forgetf' As the sun began to rise and cast its rays over the desert the caravan moved on. Don, riding in the lead, was ap- proached by his brother. We'll have to plan to do most of our traveling before the sun gets too high or the heat will overcome us,'! said Jim. You're right, Jim, answered Don, and we have got to send scouts ahead to find water holes or none of us will reach Oregon. As they journeyed into the desert the water holes came at longer intervals un- til one night Hawkeye came back to re- port that he couldn't locate a waterholeg so, camp was prepared without the sight of a nearby waterhole. As days Went by without water being found the pioneers began to grow uneasy. Finally the last water was rationed out. Don said, I think it would be better to make camp here and let some of us ride ahead and search for water. It will take less time, and will be easier on the horsesf' Naming eight men to go with him Don started off. As they searched the sun grew hotter. Finally one horse then two and three were overcome by heat and lack of water. The men were becoming almost insane with heat and thirst. His men slowly dwindled away until Don and his brother were the only men remaining. Their mounts were nearly spent and they were growing weak when at last they found water. It was only by the ut- most will power they could keep from drinking their fill. However, both knew the danger of drinking too much. After watering the horses they Hlled some water pouches and started back for the wagons. In the hearts of both was the fear that they would not find their friends alive. Coming in site of the train they were welcomed by a faint shout of hope from the others. Many were dead and others being too weak to take care of them. Out of the band of fifty who left for Oregon, only thirty saw the fertile land of Oregon. Here they cleared the land and made their farms. Don and Mary are now married and live on a large farm and have a son, who is destined to become, like his father, a great pioneer.

The five year old daughter and son of a very poor but struggling couple, namely, Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd They had always tried to give children as much luxury as other boys and girls had. One night, Ellis. their little after they had come home from a party at their little friend' home and Mrs. Ellis was putting them to bed, Bette asked: Mother, may we have some nice cookies and candy tomorrow or some day just like Patty and Paul had? H HNVe'll see, said Mrs. Ellis with a downcast look. Kissing each one ten- derly and putting out the light she slipped silently from the room. Their little heads began to nod then they were asleep. Soon the sandman came to pay a visit to them. Tonight in his sandbag gleamed beautiful colored sand. Yes, that's it, it means that they will take a trip to the Land of Goodies. Time passed and then came a voice softly, very softly as though from the distance saying: Are you Bette and Berry Ellis? 'fYes, who are you and where are we ? they asked. I am Putsy the elf to King Jells and I have come to take you to the land of Goodiesf replied the little elf. Berryf! said Bette, look at the pretty houses all around us. Gee! Isn't this fun? Oh, oh listen. I hear music donyt you ?', inquired Berry. Yes, and look itys coming nearer, a parade, a Cookie Parade, said Bette jumping up and down with glee. Oh, boy, but why are they having this big cookie parade ? In honor of the King. Today is King Iell-o's birthday and he's going to have a party, answered the elf. Oh, can we go too? Yes, would you like to ride? Oh yes, the two replied. V ery well, jocko, take Bette up and put her on your back so that you and She can lead the animal crackersf, said the elf. Aye, aye sirf, said the elephant. And picking her up he strode off. Now what would you like to ride on. Sir Berry? That white pony, right there,'! said Berry. Here Tony, whoa boy, now up you go. There, have a good timef, WINTHROP HIGH SCHOOL 4l 'I Thank you, we willf' they both ex- claimed. Soon they were at the kingys palace and the parade was over. After being helped off the backs of the animals the two walked into the palace hand in hand. Hello, my little ones. Are you Bette and Berry Ellis? U Yes sir, I mean yes your er-uh-, what do they call you? asked Berry. Your majesty or highness, Berry, but you may call me king 5 well now, let's get to eating. Are you hungry? Yes, a littlef' Well, eat to your heart's contentf' Soon the party was over and the king was telling them a very nice story. When it was most through he noticed that their little heads had nodded for the last time. Putsy, take them back to their home now,'l said the king. It's morning and they have a great day ahead of themf, announced the king. Yes, your liighnessf, Later the same morning in their bed- room: Wfake up, children, it's time you got up.', called their mother. HOI1, mother, it's so beautiful there and the king was so nice to us, said Bette. XV here, whois the king, what are you talking about? I' Bette means the Land of Goodies and the king's King jell-o. Putsy, his elf, took us there to the king's birthday partyf, Oh, yes, I know nowfl responded the mother. NVell, hurry up and get up, it's a lovely day outside and Patty and Paul are waiting for you. 'K Yes, mother. VVe'll tell them what a nice time we had, won't we Berry? I' Uh, huh, and l'm so happy I could sing. Happiness, and a very pleasant happi- ness had been bestowed upon the young- sters at last, even though by a dream. Tears of joy filled the lovely eyes of Mrs. Ellis. Her children were very happy and that was all that mattered. Ruth Lewia, '39. Mrs. Nolan Attends School Cast Mr. Nolan Mrs. Nolan Mrs. Murphy SCENE Dining room of the Newlyweds.

An Essay on War With the dark clouds of war hovering near us the most natural questions for all loyal Americans to be asking are, Vlfill the United States join the war? Will she send her young men into the battle- field to be maimed for life and perhaps killed? Will women take part in case of another war as they are doing in Italy? VVill the United States invest millions of dollars in the building of large ships to be sunk by -other countries Pi' I think the United States learned her lesson from the Worlcl War which was supposed to have been a war to end wars. She has found through her own bitter ex- periences that no war is justihed. Life 44 WINTHROI' XVINNER was given us by God and it should not be taken until he desires it. The United States is large enough to hold all her inhabitants, unlike the coun- tries of the East. Of course, some of our larger cities are crowded but there are always the 'K wide open spaces U to which our people can go. In the Eastern countries only a very small amount of land is allowed each family, this is usually not nearly half enough for its actual needs. Under these circumstances they cannot possibly have the high standard of living as the Americans have. People of these coun- tries are driven around like cattle, espe- cially in Russia where even the farmers' goods are taken by the government. None of the inhabitants of these coun- tries are as a whole peace-loving people as they are in the United States. It is therefore hoped by every Ameri- can Citizen, excepting those who are help financially by war, that the United State will continue to take no active part in the warfare of these crowded, war- loving people. To the United State the life of her citizens and the desire to keep her nation as it is, is more important than spending millions in warfare when it can be used to a good advantage right here in our own country. Flora Richards, '38 Senior Girls There are some queer girls in this class I must say, To begin with there's Anita with her smiling easy way. T here's Rachel with her happy-go-lucky grin, And Helen D. with powder all over her chin. There's Alida who always takes a dare, And class who every morning says a prayer. There's Florence who was never known to swear, And Lottie who is bound to get her fin- 'gers in her hair. There's Mae who hasn't grown very tall, And Virginia who is forever dancing in the hall. There's Rosa with a smile that will never wear out, And Helen S. who was never known to pout. There's Annie and Margret bothquiet as mice, And Katherine who always acts very nice. There's Flora who often takes a walk, And Stella who doesn't like to talk. There are several other things I could say, But I guess I'd better close for the day.

Football The close of the 1936 football season saw only the loss of three veterans and everyone was predicting the big things for the team of 1937. But no one knew the unforseen things held in store for the 1937 season. When fall rolled around Coach Jordan found himself with only one veteran backiield man. In reconstructing the backheld he was forced to weaken his line with green material. With very little time lie whipped the team into shape to send it into the 1937 season. Mr. Jordan deserves much credit for the zeal and spunk he showed in going ahead in face of such conditions. 46 VVINTHROP VVINNER I l Q 1 L Front Row: Wallace Chadwick, John Higgins, Gilbert Turner, Ernest Hewett.

Our boys fought a hard, but losing battle and though they showed plenty of power, Morse had the greater strength, winning 13-0. . Oct. 2nd, Livermore Falls High came to VVinthrop for the first home game of the season. The game proved costly when Chick Cobb, backfield ace and cap- tain, fractured his collar bone and was lost to the team for the rest of the season. Both teams played a great nip and tuck game which ended in a 13-13 tie. Oct. 9th, Hallowell, our old grid rival, invaded VVinthrop. John Hinkley was converted into a backfield man to replace Chick Cobb. In a well fought battle Hallowell won a well deserved victory over our boys 20-6. Oct. 16th, our boys played Way off their game with Lawrence High at Fair- field. Lawrence rode our boys down the river and hung up a 28-0 victory. Oct. 23th, Boothbay Harbor High came to Wiiithrop. This was the second costly game with the loss of John Hink- ley for the rest of the season with a M WINTHROP HIGH SCHOOL 47 shoulder injury. Both teams Hred away at each other for all they were worth seeking opportunities to score. But all their efforts went for naught with the game ending in a scoreless tie.

VVith only the loss of one man from the 1936 and 1937 season through gradua- tion, Captain Bob Fountain, and with most of our boys veterans of past cam- paigns, Wfinthrop looked forward to a good season. Giving Coach Ingalls full co-operation our boys, under Captain Alfred Maxwell, were soon in shape and rolling into the season's campaign. Dec. 11th, VVinthrop went to Hebron to play its first game with the Hebron Reserves. Our boys put up a game fight but Hebron gained the decision 35- 38. George Stetson took all honors for high scoring. 1 Dec 17th. Rockport High was our guest for our first home game of the season. Qur boys jumped into the lead and easily won 40-13.

The Hallowell boys showed their wonderful passing ability as they won from our boys 21-42. jan. 19, our guest was a new rival on our schedule, Cony High of Augusta. Faced by their sharp-shooting forwards Cony sank our boys under a shower of baskets 17-40. jan. 21st, after a long stay at home we journeyed to Richmond. Starting slowly but quickly picking up, our boys took the lead which they never lost winning 32-14. jan. 24th. This time we went to Gardiner. Here we were amazed by a long-range, eagle-eyed youngster who brought Gardiner those points needed to nose out our boys 30-31. The score see- sawed throughout the game and the final whistle blew with Gardiner's holding a one point lead. jan. 28th. Next we went to Hallowell. This time our boys sought revenge for an earlier defeat, They kept Hallowell on the run but Hallowell showed the greater strength edging our boys 26-33. Feb. lst, our boys played at Cony High in Augusta. Through the first quarter our boys built up a brilliant defense and only allowed Cony to score points. Slowly Cony broke through and when the game ended, they led 15-33. Feb. 4th, after two weeks on the road we played Richmond on our home floor. Our boys took the lead from the start and were never headed. Robert Stetson led the scoring in the game which ended in a 38-13 victory. Feb. 11th, Gardiner came to VVinthrop seeking a second victory over our boys. But VVinthrop was not to be won over and took revenge for the earlier defeat 44-10. The Stetson brothers led our boys in scoring. Feb. 10th, we journeyed to Lawrence High in Fairfield. This was a rough and tumble game which saw Lawrence in the lead 32-13 at the whistle.

Though they put up a stiff light throughout the game our boys were in better shape and found no difficulty winning 46-33. Even with the graduation of veterans and lettermen, indications of a better team under Coach Ingalls for the 1938- 1939 season are strong with the prospects that will be available. 1938 season: X E.

Perhaps in the future the girls will get together and add more sports to their list. N ever-the-less in the sport we do enter we are proud to say, we have an excellent record in victories and health returns. The season this year opened with the class games. Much interest was shown by the girls and twenty reported for Var- sity practice. The girls worked hard from the beginning to make their team outstanding. Many of the fast teams in this section were scheduled, such as Fair- field, Mechanic Falls, and Hallowell, and a good fight was put up by the Winthrop girls. During the latter part of the season the team lost a very valuable player, Helen lovin, but even so, the team worked to- gether and the Mechanic Falls team had a hard time in winning by only two bas- kets. Much loyalty and sportsmanship has been shown among the players this year, and seven received Varsity letters: Helen lovin, Betty Webb, Anita Dostie, Dor- othy Taylor, Marie Rourke, Captain Rachel Kinney, and Barbara French. Next year the girls will come out with a much stronger team, for there are a number of players in the present eighth grade that have shown their ability as players. There is also a strong guard section with Captain elect Marie Rourke, Betty VV ebb, Dorothy Taylor, Rhona Richards, Helen Leird, Ruth Bruneau. ln the forward section, Betty Shute, Bar- bara French, Beatrice lovin, Reta Lyons, and Blanch lovin. The girls were scheduled to play in the Fairfield tournament. The first game was with Hermon. The girls had little difficulty in taking this game by a 27 to 13 victory. The second game was played with Hallowell, this time the girls were unable to pull to the top and Hallo- well won by a 28 to 23 victory. The third game was with New Sharon and NVinthrop forfeited the consolation cup to 1t. The season closed with the Augusta Co-eds. The Winthrop girls won with a 34 to 23 score.

You have a very compact and interesting year book, The only improvements would be the addition of more drawings and more photographs of the athletic teams, clubs, etc. VVe like your department for school notes with the descriptions of the clubs and dances. as it gives us an idea of the ac.- tivities of your school. The Corona Bridgton High School, Bridgton, Maine. Yours is one of those nice, all-around year books -not too much emphasis on one department or too little on another, Your small French section is good and more so as not very many schools have any. '4Academy Review, Foxcroft Aca- demy, Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, Let me congratulate you., also, on your clever drawings and numerous photographs. They add much to the attractiveness of a magazine. XVe wonder what happened to the senior pictures though? Your literary department has quality but don't you think it lacks quantity? Pine Needlesf' Mattanawcook Aca- demy, Lincoln, Maine. You certainly have a fine, well illustrated year-book. It is only through photographs that We are able to visualize another school and I think you have done well to have so many pictures.

Each Flake that drifts before my eyes Suddenly, by the Wind, is whirled high, To be tossed about in merry glee And then they are set free. Suddenly breaking through the dreary sky, Came the sun in brilliant splendor This picture that before my eyes did lie And its beauty, I shall long remember.
