The Sachem Speaks . . .
"A Quitter Newer Wins ;
A Winner Never Quits."
Barnstable lli fj h .School lost the Thanksgiving day football
game to Falmouth in a hard-fought contest, but this team won
ii victory that was even more important.
Each member .of the team played with everything he had
in him—-strength, dili gence, and unfailing spirit. They all
worked together, continuing their excellent effort t the very
lust minute of play.
The Barnstable students and fans also aided in this "un-
recorded victory ". Demonstrating the same wonderful spirit.
as the. players, they cheered themselves hoarse and readily
showed that they felt theirs was a team to be proud of—win or
lose. Often criticized for lack of school spirit , they showed at.
this game that they could back ,up their team to the utmost—
and did just that.
The score, 14-8, said that Falmouth had won the game,
but Barnstable won too. These players won the biggest victory
of all—proving that they weren 't quitters ; that they were a
loam—"all for one and one for all." Congratulations to the
whole team and their faithful fans for a job well done. The
actual score of the game left much unsaid !

WE WANT TO DANCE !
You see a crowd of smiling faces and a mass of colors from
the girls ' party dresses swirling to the rhythm of the latest
Rook and Moll record. You hear peals of happy laughter and
friendly greetings being tossed gaily about the hall. Where are
yon J At the Saturday Night Key Club dances, of course.
The boys of this organization should certainl y be congratu-
lated for the great success of these dances. For a very small
entrance fee students of Barnstable High School have enjoyed
some wonderful evenings complete with refreshments and
some fabulous entertainment. Aside from the recently-opened
skating rink there are very few activities offered to Barnstable
•.tudenta in the winter. The terrific attendance at these dances
certainly shows their great popularity. We feel sure that the
uttendance and popularity of these affairs could increase if
they were held for the remaining winter months. So Key Club ,
why not continue them ?

CHAUCER RIDES AGAIN!
Seniors ot Barnstable High
School have been busy lately sell-
ing ads for the Barnacle to local
businessmen, The following are
"poetic " descriptions of the five
moat successful students to date .
More next week!
Charles Rosary
rimrlie goes to Trade School
lie 's la the Key Club, too.
iVhun he heard there were ads to
get,
He knew what he must do.
Before the dusk of evening,
iefore the evening mist.
He had just about collected
All the ads on his list.
Bui did Charlie stop there '.
'
You bet he wouldn 't hear of it.
Now I ask you fellow students
Is this not real school spirit?
— Barry Hallet
June Cornwell
.nine Cornwell is the gal 1 hear,
Who gets the ads which are so
dear
And of which we so budly need ,
She la way out in tho lead.
She comes to school most every
day
With so many ads that people say,
"Jane's the girl that leads the
class,
She's doing all the work for the
mass."
Now let's give this gal a hand .
And get ads from all the land.
'I'hankR to her we'll have a year-
book yet,
That'll win a Medalist Award , 1
bet.
Larry Harmon
Susan Stein
Pretty, versatile , and smart is she.
Industrious too she's proved to be,
While Mrs. Towey keeps crying,
"More!"
Kusan brings in ads galore .
•lei' marks are sure to head the
list,
Hut this poem 's point 1 hope you 've
not missed;
In majorettes and chorus she con-
tributes well.
But we like her best when those
ads she does sell.
Barbara Barnard
Patricia Lovejoy
0a» and jolly fit our Pat to a "T".
A1«'aya a lover of the kids ' com-
pany.
She can 't be content with reading
a book.
Rather , would she around her look .
Pat has a knack for talking a good
deal
But she certainly doesn 't try to he
a "big wheel"
With short curly hair and bi g blue
eyes
Many an advertiser just plain siglis
And tosses over his ten dollars
Clad to help the B.H.S. scholars.
Nancy •Stiles
Jeannie Van Leeuwen
.Aaiinie Van leeuwen Is her name
And her most recent claim to tame
Is that she goes out with a dash
To bring in for the Barnacle much
cash .
She is easily able with just a look
To persuade you to give something
to our book .
She's tall and slim and very smart
And in many activities she takes
a part.
She's well dressed and always neat
And even has orange shoes for her
feet .
Her hair is lovely—curled and
brown.
And you 'll hardly ever see her
frown.
She'll bring into the room a little
light
And in her presence there is de-
light.
Arlene Krazier
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
WILL THE RE BE H OCKEY?
Would you deprive your child or
other children of playing a sport
which they enjoy very much ? Of
course not , but this soems to be
what the new management at tho
Kennedy Memorial Skating Kink is
doing.
This last vacation many studyits
fro m private schools were home
for tho holidays, and since the rink
was open , they challenged the lo-
cal boys in hockey. One week he-
fore Thanksgiving one boy's moth-
er made arrang. ments witli the
rink to play this game on Friday
| morning at 8.00 A.M. Thanksgiv-
ing night the boys were Wld thai
tin re would he no game the next
day. Two of the reasons given were
thai arrangements had noi been
made SOOn enough, ami the men
had to work until 12:00 that night
and didn 't want to get up at 7:no
the next morning.
These excuses seem to be very
fei hie becaune last year we could
ask the manager the night before
and he would let us use the rink.
Tho second excuse isn't very
valid either , because there are at
least five persons working at the
rink at different times ; and If ono
of them couldn 't just open the
doors in the morning, then some-
thing is radically wrong. Last year
the manager would work until
2:00 A M. and would sleep at the
rink so he could open the doors
for the boys in the morning.
This Incident has not gone down
well with the teenage hockey play-
ers of the town. Tin y are hoping
that something can be done before
Christmas vacation to settlo this
situation so that their grudge game
can be played. Will it?

Wednesday night. After much toot-
ing of horns and racing around to
put streamers and sign on every
car. the motor-cade of about 30
cars started up the Main Street of
Hyannis. Kveryone seemed quite
surprised to see such a long line
of headlights all beaded for the
high school with a police cruiser
leading te procession. The cars
ended up in the high school park-
ing lot where everyone piled out
and crowded around a truck , hired
by the Key Club , to listen to cheers
and to hear the manager ot the
football team speak To add lo the
excitement , a huge snake dam e
was formed , anil around and
around the parking lot the) went
until everyone was too tired to

BELLS IN THE DIST ANCE
With Thanksgiving over. Autumn
releases its last feeble hold on
the land and gives way to Win-
ter. Now the chill winds blows
in earnest , without a leaf nn any
tree io Impede Its tierce progress,
The sky is cold , grey, and dead,
and the earth is a sullen brown.
Hut soon , dulling th e wind' s
roar will be the sound of Christmas
bells with tlie earth covered by a
bright sheot of snow like thick ,
frosted KIIIBH . Yes, today 's cold
drabness of weather and spirits
Will soon be dispelled as the beau-
tiful, gay holidays approach,
