As we struggle through each day We can lift our eyes and gaze On the image clear and bright of Braintree High. We will summon up remembrances As we will go along through life we’ll sing a song Our Braintree High School gives us strength to carry on. Let us praise! (in joyous song) The kingdom of height. So with this knowledge we will here impart To those we leave behind Be just and you will find Fame comes to those who cherish loyalty Who cherish loyalty — taught in Braintree High School. To thee we sing a song of hope and faith Joy in life — all in Braintree High. We’re marching, marching on, we’re marching, marching on, on, on.

All the luck in the world, Gus ! Class President 2, 3, 4, President A. A. 4; Wampatuck 4; President Spanish Club 3; Chairman Oral English Debating Club 4. GEORGE SHORES Vice-President Soup was one of those indis- pensable linesmen on the football team. He is an all-round athlete, smooth dancer, and a heart- breaker. ' ' Soup ' ' is the proud posses- sor of a veritable dictionary of girls ' telephone numbers. Shame on you ! Freshman Play 1; Hi-Y 1, 2; Basketball 2, 3, 4; Football 2, 3, 4; Gym Team 1, 2, 3, 4; Vice-President 3, 4, Hockey Manager 4. CONSTANCE SHORES Secretary Class Secretary three years, good student — tennis and field hockey enthusiast, nice looking, collects a special type of souvenir, plays piano, never without a come back or an answer, pals with Clare, Mackv, and Flossy, likes dancing. Good luck, Connie. Basketball 2, 3, 4; Hockey 4, Gym Team 4; Class Secretary 2, 3, 4; Minstrel Show 4; Sophomore Dance Committee 2; Ring Commit- tee 3 Year Book 4. BARBARA BELYEA Treasurer They laugh that win. Baby has been our class trea- surer for four years. She is one of the most popular girls in our class. Always willing to do others a favor. What would happen if she and honey-girl were to part? Class Treasurer 2, 3, 4, Basket- ball 3, 4, Minstrel Show 2; Year Book 4; Picture Committee 4. ROSCOE ADAMS Rocky ' s pet hobby seems to be peddling about on an Elizabethan bicycle. (Ask any befuddled senior its meaning.) One so persistent as this likable fellow is in such a pur- suit, will find new worlds to con- quer when he attains his sheep- skin. Radio Club 1; The GhostTrain 2; Drum and Bugle Corps 3; Senior Minstrel Show 4; Football 3. MARY ALVES Hi handsome — Mary’s favor- ite greeting might well be applied to herself, for this dark-haired girl quite captivated the pigskin eleven. Mary ' s salesmanship during the magazine drives made us feel as in- significant as the pupil who is the object of Miss Keany ' s disapproval Dramatic Club 4; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Debating 4; Orchestra 1,2,3, 4. MINNIE ARGENTINA Once a friend always a friend . Minnie is a very quiet girl, but a sincere and willing worker. Her choice of stenography as a life work is certainly well made and we recog- nize in her a successful stenographer. MILDRED AUSTIN Neatly dressed and petite — that ' s our Millie. Her interest is with others outside of school, but she has B.H.S. at heart. She is quiet in school, but we hear she is quite en- ergetic when not attending classes. Here ' s to you, Millie ! Gvm Team 1; Hockey 3. 16 ALICE A VITA BILE Alice is a student and does credit to that title. She has a lovely dispo- sition and it is easily seen by her sweet expression. Friendly and tol- erant every day, she has been a good companion. Her part in the minstrel show brought out more hidden talent. Minstrel Show 4. JAMES BAILEY Jim is an extremely likable fel- low. His quiet friendly ways have made him popular with us all. He never talks about himself but we’ve heard that he ' s a marvelous bowler and a champion at golf. Baseball 1 (Mechanic Arts High). PAUL BAILEY Paul ' s most outstanding charac- teristic is to sing (?) any tune, any time, any where — in a slight dis- cord. The fact that Paul is a good shot enables him to lead an uninter- rupted existence. We re sure Paul will make good because he is a persevering and capable student. Minstrel Show 4, Rifle Club 3, 4 ; Football 4, Track 4; Debating Club 4; Tennis Tournament 2. MARY BARRETT Have you seen a smiling curly- haired young girl industriously trans- lating Cicero in the library? Well, if you have, it must be Mary, for Latin seems to be her most trouble- some subject. However, optimism like Mary ' s is a good cure for the blues. Gym Exhibition 1; Basketball 1; Minstrel Show 4; Pirate ' s Daughter 4. EDITH BATTEY Edith is very quiet and possesses poise quite unheard of in most of us. Her motto is Be Prepared for she is adept in the difficult task of taking care of children. She loves hockey and reading. Quite a com- bination, eh? Hockey 3,4; Gym Team 3. ROLAND BELYF.A Men of few words are the best men. Roland is our famous automobile mechanic and gasoline station as- sistant. Although he is only two or three feet high he gets there just the same. He is very quiet and loves to study? Basketball 4. ALICE BLACKLEY Alice is a busy, unassuming little person. Her soft voice and Grecian profile appeal to our better natures. Alice is a baseball enthusiast, al- ways in good humor, and is an ash blond. They are rare, you know. MARY BLANCHARD Nobody can be cross with Mary very long — her big eyes have such an innocent look in their blue depths. Mary is quite silent about her boy friends, but at the minstrel show we found out she had a liking for six-footers. Minstrel Show 4; Basketball 4. 17 HELEN BOUTIN Give me back my youth. Rusty’s in the closet explains our little Helen. She has a radiant smile and dresses nicely. We hear Helen advises fancy skating to keep in trim. It is amusing to see her go into a trance each day at 8 A.M. Year Book 4. EVELYN BOYLE Evie is a grand person and, we might add, an incurable practical joker. She not only finds life inter- esting but makes it so for everyone else. She is a great help on any ath- letic team and has worked hard for good old B.H.S. We think H.B. .ought to give up her pet brown felt hat and let Evie have it — a reward for hiding it every night in someone else ' s locker. Hockey 1, 2, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Gym Team 1, 2, 3, 4; Operetta 3; Minstrel Show 4. EDWARD BOYNTON Eddie — the financial genius — saves more money than anyone in school — reason, he runs the school bank. Great things are predicted for Eddie after the four years of training under such a competent instructor as Mr. Strangford. Debating Club 4, Rifle Club 3, 4; Tennis Team 4; Music 3, 4; Minstrel Show 4; Bank 4. JEAN BRIDGHAM Did anyone say teachers don ' t have pets? We think Jean is a good example of one. How about it, Mr. Kane? Maybe her ability as a con- versationalist is what gets one. Did you know about her secret love? Forgive us, Jean. Minstrel Show 4; Basketball 4; Year Book 4. JAMES BRIGGS Red is a very quiet person with a small host of intimate friends. His most serious weakness is for the national pastime — baseball. Red also indulges in a practice which we should all try to emulate — walking. Good luck, Red . Baseball 3, 4, Hockey 4. RUTH BROCK Here is one of our most lovable seniors. Little Ruth is everyone ' s favorite, and the possessor of the merriest brown eyes we have ever seen. Friendly and sincere, she is a decided asset to any graduating class, and to the world in general. Hockey 3; Ring Committee 3; Junior Prom 3; Minstrel Show 4; Basketball 3, 4; Year Book 4. THOMAS BUCKLEY Tom has three loves — a good de- bate — our prettiest girls — and lunch. He is a generous carefree sort of a person. We wonder how he will ever carry on without a certain senior who turns to him in History IV each morning, and with a twinkle in her eye, murmurs Good morn- ing, beast. — and does he like it? Ask him! Basketball 4; Football 3. CATHERINE BURKE Sis excels in activities, field hockey and basketball especially, roller skates to school when late, always arrives in a lather at 8 02, never made it yet. Regular guy with a host of friends. Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4; Gym Team 1, 2, 3, 4, Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Minstrel Show 4; Decoration Committee 3; Glee Club 1. 18 RICHARD BURKE Spec is an ardent supporter of all athletic activities at B.H.S. and, although not generally known out- side of his own circle of friends, ap- pears to have a very good sense of humor. Good luck in vour future success, Spec . Hockey 4, Baseball 1. HELEN CAMPBELL Helen ' s eyes are of the deepest blue, in fact the kind they write songs about. Her smile is ravishing — the kind they have in toothpaste ads — and her personality is one we do not come in contact with every day — it ' s the top! Minstrel Show 4, Basketball 4, Year Book 4. GRACE CARAMANICA Grace usually keeps us amused bv her arguments with her pal , Jean. She is one of the shortest members of our class, but then, the best things usually are the smallest things. Her sunshiny smile is just what the doctor ordered. Basketball 3, 4. ANNA CARLIN Past master of the terpsichorean art. Our feminine Fred Astaire. Subject to spasmodic, uncontrol- lable fits of giggling. Most acute at- tacks occur in study hall — but why not? — laugh and the w ' orld laughs with you, weep and you weep alone. Minstrel Show 4, Operetta 4. CATHERINE CARLSON Good nature and good sense must ever join . ' ' Kay is another one of our quiet girls. She has red hair but we don ' t know much about her temper. She is a good sport and a loyal friend. Senior Minstrel 4. BARBARA CHAMBERS Still waters run deep, and if you have had the good fortune of knowing this petite feminine miss, you ' ll find this is true. Barbara, al- though a modern lass, blushes as prettily as the original Old-fash- ioned Girl. A very sweet girl with a sweeter smile. MARY CHARLES The talents of this bundle of per- sonality would fill volumes. She is a musician through and through, plaving both violin and piano be- sides possessing a lovely voice. What ' s the secret of winning the good favor of Mr. Jones, Mary? Orchestra and Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Bank Trustee 1; Operetta 1, 3, 4; Broadcast 2, 3; Minstrel Show 4; Oral English Club 4; German Club 3; Wa npatuck 4. CHARLOTTE CHENETTE A little imp of mischief always seems to be twinkling in her eyes, but Charlotte (on rare occasions) can be a very serious young lady. She loves to dance, thinks French words are just tongue-twisters, and is one of the best-natured girls we ' ve ever known. Wampatuck Play 2; Wampatuck Board 2, Operetta 4; Basketball 1,4; Banquet Committee 4, Cheer Leader 1 , 2 . 19 HARRY CHISHOLM With an amenable manner and a melodious voice — (Bing Crosby be- ware) ' member Old Faithful ? Harrv causes much consideration among the fairer sex. His pedal ex- tremities have travelled far to bring glory to B.H.S. Cross Country 3, 4, Manager 4; Track 3, 4, Manager 4; Basketball 3, 4; Minstrel Show 4. EARLE CHRISTIAN Earle is famous — first for his gridiron prowess and second for his jovial spirit. A conscientious fellow who knows all the popular songs. His assembly oration and Minstrel Show performance areas well known as his ever-ready grin. Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Mikado 3; Operetta 4; Broadcast 3, 4, Min- strel 4. ELSIE CHURCH Our blond little Elsie is good in French, good in English, good in Athletics — well she ' s good in any- thing or everything. Her merry chuckle is a pleasing sound to hear each morning — and she ' s always telling us of course you ' ll gradu- ate! Well anyway, we know she will. Happy days, Elsie! Basketball 3; Track 3; Minstrel Show 4; Operetta 4. CHARLES CLEARY Music bath charm. Here is our singer. He certainly made a big hit in our minstrel show. Little Shorty and his honev- girl are getting along fine. Charley will soon join his brother in Holly- wood. Good luck. Operetta 2, 4; Minstrel Show 4; Tennis 3, 4. THOMAS CLOUGHERTY Bud ' s size certainly doesn ' t keep him from shining in the ath- letic world. What will the hockey team do without him, and as for baseball, — well, go see him play for yourself. Did you know Bud chases hard little balls for amuse- ment in the summer? Baseball 4; Hockey 3, 4. MIRIAM COGSWELL Mim is one of our best ath- letes and adores swimming and horse-back riding. We certainly envy her school-girl complexion and pearly teeth. She likes to fool with the bus drivers — especially two of them. Isn ' t that right, Mim ? Hockey 2, 3; Basketball 2, 4. ALLEN CRAVEN Allen’s small stature doesn ' t detract in the least from his import- ance, for his gymnastic abilities are the envy of everyone. As a slick (sleek?) dresser he takes the cake. Maybe he took his brother as an example. By the way, how ' s M.W.? Gym Team 1, 2, 3; Operetta 4. FRANCIS CROCKER Deeds not words. Although Jerry has always been with us, very little is known about him except that he is girl shy. He has curly hair and that is what makes the girls like him. He is very quiet and observing. 20 PATRICK CRONIN Baseball Captain 1935 — eats, drinks, and sleeps baseball, no slouch at hockey, made his letter at fullback, good athlete, never high hat, nice personality, well liked. We all hope vou make the Red Sox, Pat. Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Football 3, 4; Hockey 3, 4, Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4. KATHRYN CROWE Did any class ever have as many quiet members as ours has? But to be able to gaze with envy and admira- tion on Kathryn ' s lovely clothes is sufficient compensation for any- thing we might miss in way of con- versation. Basketball 3, 4. RALPH DACEY Great men are always wise. ' ' Biff is another one of our football heroes as well as our ladies man. He always has a pleasant smile for everyone, including the teachers He is a good imitation of Joe Penner. Good luck, Dr. Dacev. Baseball 1; Football 3, 4; Hockey 4; Gym Team 4; Track 3; Minstrel Show 4, Class Will 4; Basketball 1, 3,4. WALLACE DAGLEY Can you frown Wally”? Everv- time we see you, you ' re smiling. Besides being one of the most amus- ing boys, Wally” is an essential factor on the baseball team. Bv the way Wally”, have you and Simp decided who is to have Dot”? Track 1,2; Tennis 3; Baseball 4; Hockey 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4, Minstrel Show 4. LOUISE DALTON Blonde, fluffy hair, fair skin, quiet mannerisms, low voice, and a half- shy, pleasing and utterly contagious smile sum up our Louise. A nice person to know, we assure you. JOHN DAVIS Through all his five years John has never appeared without his wit? and friendly smile. A great deal of his magnitudal propensity is bent toward the opposite sex but this only leads to increase his popularity. Success to you, John. Football 1, 2, 3; Basketball 1; Baseball 1; Track 1, 2, 3; Minstrel Show 4; Junior Prom Committee 3. JEAN DAY What will the Art Department do without Jean ' s artistic ability? She is another of those ambitious persons who take care of infants (?) every P.M. When Jean blushes and smiles slyly at us we all sit up and take notice. IVampatuck 1, 2; Gym Team 1; Senior Minstrel Show 4; Orchestra and Band 1, 2, Operetta Commit- tees 3, 4. FLORENCE DE COSTE Florence is our petite and red- headed dancer, who made such a hit at that great minstrel show of ours. Full of life and the joy of living, Florence dances merrily through life, supported on all sides by ardent admirers. Minstrel Show 1, 4; Gym Team 1; Class Will Committee 4. 21 HELEN DEWAR A merry heart goes with a big smile. Helen is a very vivacious person. A giggle? Why thatis bright eyes. What a laugh. Helen would like to go to Framingham Normal. I won- der what Wollaston ' s attraction is? Basketball 3; Drum Major 3; Class Prophecy Committee 4; Min- strel Show 4. BEATRICE DOLLOFF Silence is golden. Beatrice is quite a seamstress. Another Roberta . Very little is known about this young lady but she is going to be a dressmaker or a designer. Operetta 4. ALAN DONKIN His eyes are as blue as the sea he loves and his smile is as flashing as the white caps on a good sailing day. Alan is an all-round good fel- low — a sportsman, a good student, and a real friend. Need we say more? Gym Team 1, 2; Rifle Club 3, 4; Hi Y 3, 4; Wampatuck 4. PHYLLIS DROLLETT Did you know that our prima donna not only stars in operettas, but is also a radio star? Besides her musical talent Phyll ' s attire places her on top of our best-dressed list. Sh! she has a special liking for P.G.s with noisy watches. Operetta 2, 3, 4; Minstrel Show 4; Class Song 4. CATHERINE DRUMMEY No one needs to be told that Catherine is a little wonder in play- ing held hockey, and some of the other popular sports. Small and strong and abrupt, she breezes mer- rily through school, straining her ears, as most of us, for the last bell. Hockey 3, 4; Gym Team 2, 4. RUTH DURGIN Ruth stood us for one year and then went to Woodward. But in spite of our faults she just couldn ' t resist us, so came back to B.H.S. this year. How are all the little horsies, Ruth? Don ' t misunderstand us — Ruth ' s passion is horses. MARY DWYER Mary, a pretty girl who hails from ' wav up north in the high- lands, is the main reason why so many of the stronger sex have that distant and absent-minded expres- sion in their eyes. Mary ' s willing- ness to help is one of her most like- able characteristics. EDWIN ELLIOT Be assured l go to use my hands , and not my tongue .” Eddie hails from Scotland but what ' s the big attraction near Miss Walker’s room? He has a pleasing personality which will help him to succeed in life. 22 MARTHA ENOS Our lovable editor is the most perfectly coiffured and best dressed senior in our clas; besides being an excellent scholar. We hear she has quite turned the head of the Acade- my’s star pitcher. Did you know the angels kissed Martha? — thence the dimples. Orchestra 1; Class Ring Commit- tee 3; Wampatuck 2, 3, 4; Year Book 4; Senior Minstrel Show; Bank Trustee 1. RUSSELL FALARDEAU Here ' s a quiet unassuming indi- vidual about whom we hear little. Later, in the business world, we should hear about Russ ' s’’ success by virtue of his beckoning smile — to entice business prospects — and his pipe — to overcome any and all opposition. WILLIAM FALARDEAU Ladies and gentlemen, in this corner we have the great Falardeau — ’champeen’ wrestler of East Braintree. Willyo furnishes the occupants of the Flying Cloud ( C Bus) with some lively amuse- ment to brighten up the prospect of the dear old golden rule day at B.H.S. GEORGE FIELD The power of thought — the magic of the mind. Georgie is a great kid as well as a great actor. We will always remem- ber Big Hearted Herbert. His smile and cheery hello makes him popular with everyone. Ritle Club 2; Junior Prom Com- mittee 3; Oral English Club and Play 4; Senior Minstrel Show 4; Operetta 4; Class Prophecy Com- mittee 4. OLIVE FITZSIMMONS Ollie is a quiet girl who be- lieves in being seen and not heard. People like her usually travel far on the road to success and we will wag- er that this girl is no exception to the rule. EVELYN FLINT Gentle in voice, in manner, and in deed is our red-haired Evelyn. She is the type one likes on first sight, and she has proven herself to be one of our sweetest seniors. We just can’t help mentioning her blushes. It’s really amazing, and quite becoming! WENDELL FOGG Another unassuming fellow, a plugger — conscientious, always has his home work done, and always knows his subject, all attributes of success. We know he ' ll make the grade. FREDERICK FOLEY Quiet Fred is a good student and is better known to those of his own sex around good old B.H.S. We hear that golf is his big interest outside of school, and we ' ll watch the newspapers for the next few years to see what happens. Good luck, Fred. 23 FRED FORBES No one knows what he’ll do ' til he tries. Fred showed his ability to sing in The Pirate ' s Daughter. Such a head of curly hair, no wonder he is popular. His steady perseverance ana his ambitions will help him in his chosen work. Baseball 1; Football 2, 3; Oper- etta 4; Minstrel Show 4. LOWELL FRAZIER Another one of Miss Bennett ' s chefs, doesn ' t say much, seems to get a kick out of life, likes bridge, especially contract. He even has Culbertson worried. Maybe we ll see him with Delmonico or George Lamaze some day. Basketball 2, 3; Gym Team 1 . RAYMOND FURLONG Rav glides through the corridors, swiftly and silently folds his tall frame into a chair and quietly ac- cepts what his teachers try to make him believe. Cool and aloof, he shuns the members of the fairer sex. The change takes place when the final bell rings — we hear a cry of joy, laughter, and there’s much calamity. (Why is it 3 ) Basketball 4. CATHERINE GALLAGHER We’d be willing to bet our last nickel that Catherine would rather do most anything except to give an oral topic (can’t say that we blame her). Although rather quiet, Cath- erine is really lots of fun, and has a wide circle of friends. LOUISE GILBERT What a talented class we have! Louise heads the list of our dancers and rightly so. She would rather dance than eat. (This is slightly be- yond our comprehension.) You have our sincere good wishes for your success on the stage, Louise. Minstrel Show 3, 4. CUSTANO GIOVANNI ’ ’ A good companion and as firm a friend ' Custano is among our bus friends who dislikes to do his homework. He is one of our vicious characters, so beware. Whatever he will at- tempt to do we know he will suc- ceed, if it isn’t English. Basketball 4. HARRISON GORDON Sandy is one of our most soph- isticated seniors and possesses a smooth charm. Despite his busy social life we find him ranking high in his studies — and always on the job. Sandy ' s’’ philosophy of different things is revealed when he repeats Variety is the spice of life.” JAMES HALES Jimmy and his helping hand have caused many a feminine cry of woe by spoiling experiments in the chemistry lab. He and his car have saved much shoe leather for B.H.S. students. We don’t blame you for preferring editors, Jimmy.

We are not quite sure, but we ' d guess she holds that title. The Metropolitan Opera Company will soon have an addition to their cast in the person of Evelyn. Good luck! Operetta 1, 3; Year Book 4; Minstrel Show 4. HARRY HANSEN Good football player, general utility man last fall, hobby is danc- ing. Enjoys a good joke, goes over big with the fair sex. A bluff and hearty manner makes him popular with the gang.

VIRGINIA HARMON Virginia came to us from the dear old Southland. Her popular South- ern accent has never left her, and we like it. She ' s one of our high rank- ing students and possesses a remark- able memory. Her unusual hair comb and green-blue eyes might well be called exotic — and that southern charm! ROBERT HARPER If Bob ' s” aptitude in handling figures and his keen analytic mind is any prophetic indication of his success, Bob should be in its light. Bob has the good luck and best wishes of all in his future suc- cess. Radio Club 1; Orchestra 2, 3, 4; Ride Club 1, 3, 4; German Club 3,4; Minstrel Show 4; Operetta 4. ROBERT HASTINGS Bob’ ' is one of our most studious seniors, but there’s a method in his madness — Professor aspires to enter the portals of Yale. If brains plus personality are the keys to pro- gress, Bob, success is yours. Tennis 1, 2, 3; German Club 2, 3; Debating 1,4. CLAIRE HENRICH The girl whom many know noth- ing about. Extremely bashful. Came to Braintree from the dear old South which was a tough break for the South. Lots of curly black hair. We wonder if she studies all the books she carries. Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Band 4; (At Asheville — first 2 years — Basket- ball 1, 2; Girl Reserves, President Red Cross 1, 2.) MARGARET HORSMAN ' Blushing is the colour of virtue. ' Miggie was our hockey captain this year, and what a year. She is a swell companion. What would you do without the Saturday night dances?

JOHN HUSKINS John is a boy usually possessed by a quiet nature, but as a member of the Wampatuck advertising staff, he has haunted proprietors for miles around to obtain their signatures — significant of an ad.

Efficient is about the best word we know to describe her. She is clever in her art work and also her sewing. Her eye- brows are birdlike and her lashes are the longest we’ve seen outside of Garbo.

Minstrel Show. 35 Intellectually Comi ng of Age The only country whose civilization survives is that whose general population has an open mind. To not only survive hut to improve ourselves, we must educate our children along the lines of progressive education, for only through progressive educa- tion can the general mental level of the country be raised. This type of training is es- pecially appropriate and well-fitted to the needs of the country’s youth at the present time, for with teachers ' oaths, anti-war strikes, and boycotted text books, the child- ren need a clearer understanding of these issues as they exist. By this I mean that we should develop in our children an open, inquiring mind, so that they will be able to understand conditions as they exist in their true state. Some children, especially those of a venturesome spirit, early begin to take an interest in what is going on about them and to ask questions which only the cleverest of clear-thinking parents can readily answer. A young school-bov was known to ask his mother the thought-provoking question of whether the country would be rid of depressions and corresponding booms if socialism, as a form of government, were in- troduced in the United States. Conservatives say, in a case like this, “put them off,” “wait until they’re older,” believing and knowing, of course, that then it will be too late for them to want to change anything. This, indeed, is the wrong program to adopt. These children should be set on the right path and their questions answered as the parent can best answer them. To be able to answer these questions successfully, the parent must be the possessor of a keen, open mind. From the beginning I have thought this necessary because in order to teach our children to be more open-minded, we ourselves must be as broad as possible. Now you will say, “Well, what is an open mind? In answer to this, my definition is as follows : “ An open mind is ready to receive freely and fairly, to estimate new facts, new ideas, movements and teachings: not yielding itself wholly to the new until being assured of its truth, and not discarding or rejecting the old until certain of its falsity.” The closed mind has a fixed routine with which to reach a certain and quick answer to every new problem or question, holds the belief that the world today is a finished product and that all the great issues of life have been settled once and for all. Some people hold that being intellectual is being intelligent, but that is wrong. There is a vast difference between being intellectual and being intelligent. A person with a closed mind could easily be very intellectual, but he would be in no means in- telligent, for an intelligent person is very open-minded. One of the greatest manifesta- tions of intelligence is breadth to see readily another person’s point of view. When controversial matters come up such as socialism, communism or war vs. peace, both sides of the question should be presented as open-mindedly and as im- 36 partially as possible. Even though our children do not believe in the radical forms of government of other countries, they should read and know about them, and hearken to the testimony of other men, for in this wav they will entertain no discarded con- victions or beliefs, but would know the true facts from which they could draw their own conclusions. This plan, if worked out, would be beneficial to the country as well as to the children, for certainly if ever a better social order does prevail in these United States, it will be when youth has put itself to the test and has succeeded. Martha Enos History of the Class of 1935 One September morning in 1931, a freshman class entered the Braintree High School. It was the class of 35 which was the last to have session with the upper classes in the morning. First came the call for football and two of the newly arrived freshmen responded, Harrv Hansen and Earle Christian, who later made good. In the literary field we find James Hales on the W ampatuck Staff representing the freshmen in the advertising department. Throughout the year, the names of Louise Mcllvene, Clare MacPherson, Barbara Preble, Blanche Robinson, Constance Shores, Isabel Veno, Robert Hastings and Alex- ander McEwan appeared regularly on the honor roll. In the spring the call for baseball and track came with two more names of future stars appearing; they were Patrick Cronin in baseball and John Morcom in track. Also in the spring Mr. Jordan called the class together for the first time and a class meeting was held. The officers elected for the coming year were Edward Sullivan, pres- ident; John Morcom, vice-president; Constance Shores, secretary; and Barbara Belyea, treasurer. A second meeting was held and a class trip was discussed. A vote was taken and the students desired to go to Nantasket. A good time was had by all who went. Thus passed the first year with its joys and sorrows. During our second year the class sponsored a Sophomore Dance, the only class activity of the year. The committee comprised J. Morcom, E. Sullivan, D. Wright, C. Shores, and R. Southwick. The election of officers in our third year was the first important event. The same group of officers was unanimously reelected: “Ned” Sullivan, President; J, Morcom, Vice President; C. Shores, Secretary; B. Belyea, Treasurer. In April came the successful production of the “Mikado”. Many seniors took part in this musical production. Gustin, as the Mikado, was a great “hit”. Philip Snow and Phyllis Drollett, juniors, had leading parts. 37 The year wore on until the big event of the junior year — the Junior Prom. A verv successful one — thank the committee for that — Barbara Lawrence, Ruth Brock, Florence Ludy, Connie Shores, George Field, Leo Westfield, and Ned Sullivan. Finallv, Class Day at Provincetown. In previous years, just juniors and seniors went on this voyage, but this year was different, the whole school attended. This arrangement made it more enjoyable for those who had friends in the low r er classes. And so, we adjourned for the summer to return ready for our last year as Seniors in September. In September, 1934, the class of ’35 entered its Senior year at Braintree High. There was a class of 157 and the usual activities were started. We were well represented in all lines of fall sports, girls as well as boys. At one of the first class meetings the class officers were unanimously reelected. These officers have remained the same ever since they were elected to their first term. So, contrary to rule, we have been very well pleased with the efforts of our leaders to do all thev can for our class and as everyone knows they have worked hard and ac- complished many important projects. Preparations were made to have a Senior Minstrel Show, which has been the custom for the seniors for the last few years. Miss Keanv was elected to direct the chorus and specialties and Mr. Toolin, the end men. The show was a great success, netting a profit of $200. This shows the cooperation of all the classes. There were over 60 seniors in the cast. Every year it has been the custom to go on a class day to Provincetown but we decided to plan a cruise on the Steel Pier up along the North Shore, thanks to Earle Christian’s work and figures. We voted on it and a large number agreed to the trip. We have hopes of having the companionship of Weymouth High for this event which will consist of an all day trip along the North Shore as far as Maine. The White Studio of New York was given the contrast for the class pictures. The Year Book is a great undertaking, the biggest ever attempted by a class at B.H.S. — a regular college yearbook. We are now entering the final stretch. Pretty soon we must leave, some to work, others to go further on to school, and still others to continue their studying at B.H.S. as a reminder of the class of ’35- Will of the Class of 1935 We, the graduating class of 1935, in the town of Braintree in Norfolk County, do hereby and forthwith make the following as our last will and testament, hereby re- voking all wills made by us at any time heretofore; to which, whereas, and how, we now get down to business. 38 As we are standing on our last legs, we look into the dreary future. We think of several things which we ought to leave to the undergraduates, and so we go about the business of bequeathing the qualities of individuals now posing as seniors. We do hereby will and bequeath to the Freshman Class three more joyous years in which to obtain excellent marks, and to cultivate beautiful friendships as we have done during our four years. To the Sophomore Class we do will and bequeath the very competent faculty of Braintree High; some of the sophomores I know need it. To the Junior Class we leave our Senior home rooms of which we have taken ex- cellent care this year. You can tell who occupied the desks by the inscriptions on them. Rumor has it that Hinky” Haynes wants to leave his rhythm to John Alden (he needs it). Gene Kelly, who gets here at one minute of eight every day, leaves his alarm clock to “Bob” Johnson (who usually comes with him). We leave Florence Simonds bad rainy weather so that her father’s taxi business may be increased. Evelyn Hall leaves “One Night of Love” and her love for daytime studying to David Drummond. “Arga” Lavina, the king of the dance floor, and the best barber in town, leaves his ability to anyone who can fill his shoes. We leave Helen Boutin’s ability to write love poetry and her quiet way with men to Geraldine Gray. Harry Hansen leaves his yellow jersey and liking for the girls to Fred Spiess. We bequeath Mary Barrett’s “easy-going-ness” and good marks to Helen Olson. McDonough, the dancing storekeeper, leaves his job to young Morcom but keeps his dancing ability, of which he has much need. Evelyn Boyle leaves one-half dozen freckles and her hearty laugh to Barbara Haviland. “Charlie” Clearv leaves that grey sweater for alterations for his burial. “Red” Meehan, the woman killer and football star, has decided to leave nothing. (The selfish thing.) “Fudgie” DeCoste leaves her titian colored hair and tap shoes to Nancy Buttrick. Marv Charles bequeaths two of her violin strings to Louise Wentworth. We will pass over Jimmie Shea’s name as he needs all he has. “Pat” Cronin bequeaths all his books, a place on the honor roll, and a pleasant nature to John Ewing. Florence Ludy leaves her position and gameness to Gus Chaisson on the Hockey Team. “Ernie” Nelson, one of the best athletes in the class, leaves his ability to his brother. The man who is always in a hurry, Fred Philbrick, leaves his glasses to anyone else who is blind in one eye and can’t see out of the other. 39 Charlotte Chenette leaves her sophisticatedness” and too-sweet-for-words” nature to Dottie Miles. Bill Rogers bequeaths his blush to Mr. Jordan to be used onlv at assemblies. To Theodora Lytle, we leave Melba Peterson’s systematic way of studving. George Shores bequeaths his good looks and appealing wavs to Bill Erickson. To Dottie Bean, we leave Connie Shores’ duties as class secretary. Ernie Sears hopes his brother will be as good a football player as he was. Barbara Belvea leaves what she has to anvone who needs what it takes. Wendell Fogg leaves his light grey suit and his suave manners to Arthur Blom- berg. We bequeath to Marion Enos, Louise Gilbert’s singing and dancing ability. Ruth Brock leaves her nice clothes and dancing feet to Gertie Urquhart. To Bill McKean, we leave Fred Forbes’ good looks and the Dutch costume in the Pirate ' s Daughter. To Ruth Moulton we leave two of Mary Blanchard ' s valuable curls. John Davis leaves his red dipper-front sweater and two copies of the Braintree Observer to Leslie Carpenter. Jean Day, the artist of the class, feels she can’t part with the ability she has and so she’s keeping it. Edwin Elliot bequeaths his liking for Mary McDowell to Craig Paul. Rumor has it that Clare McPherson will need all her ability at Simmons College. George Field bequeaths his speaking ability and liking for Marion Enos to Tol- man Davenport. Dot Rogers bequeaths her marvelous head of hair to Albie” Frazier, who has almost as many curls. Ed Sullivan leaves his remarkable choice of words, and speaking abilitv to Bill Erickson. Dot Johnson bequeaths her ability in writing business letters to Beatrice Allen. Sherman Tilden bequeaths his tenor voice and good looks to Bob Tonner. We bequeath Anna Carlin’s giggles and good-natured-ness to Mary Furlong. To David Chapman we leave a few of Earl Christian’s good jokes. John McKeough bequeaths his selling ability” to his up-and-coming brother, Ambrose. Harrv Chisholm leaves his voice to Fred Spiess. That will keep Chisholm quiet for a while. George Field, the class Hamlet,” leaves his ability in Spanish athletics to Philip Monroe. We leave one brand new dollar bill to Mr. Toolin so that he will be unable to con test this will. 40 And so in this year of our Lord, Nineteen hundred and thirty-five, we, the class of 1935, attach our hand and seal to this document and appoint the following witnesses to fulfill our last wishes. Mr. Ralph Dacey Mr. James Shea Miss Florence DeCoste Miss Evelyn Hall Class of 1935 Prophecy What is this I see? A poster announcing a reunion for the class of ’35 to he held on board the U.S.S. Roosevelt. Imagine being able to see your old classmates once more after ten long years of struggle! As we walk up the gang-plank we are greeted by many of our old classmates. Admiral Walter Rowson hails us and offers to escort us about the boat. As we enter the salon we hear Edward Sullivan, a public speaker of renown, recalling to us fond memories of the past. Then Wendell Fogg steps out to announce Strike up the Band,’’ and there sits Freddie Philbrick plunking on his banjo, and Ruth Winkler sawing dil- igently on her cello. A particularly sour note from Harry Hanson’s saxophone merited for that young man a dirty look from Mary Charles, first violinist. The John Hus- kins’ Scandals of 1945’’ come forth to entertain us. As the front row girls trip gaily out, we can easily recognize Charlotte Chenette, Fudgie DeCoste, Anna Carlin, Bar- bara Preble, Beatrice Dolloff and Louise Gilbert. Singing for the Scandals are Harry Chisholm, our own Bing Crosby, and Alice Avitable, a second Helen Morgan. Here come Julia Sanderson and Frank Crummit — oh no! — it ' s Evelyn Hall and her partner, Charlie Cleary. Red Richards’ voice seems to have mellowed with age and everybody heartily encores his demonstrative rendition of I’ve Got Rhythm. We just noted one of our happily married couples; Deacon Smith and his wife, the former Mim Cogswell, seem very well mated. Continuing our explorations we enter the engine room where we see Rocky Adams, chief engineer, his assistant Paul Bailey, and Roland Belyea, chief oiler. The crew boasts such husky rollicking tars as Eddie Boynton, who deserted a law career for the briny deep, and Russell Hennebury, Red Briggs, John Lawry and Raymond Furlong who also answered the call of the sea. After delicious cocktails mixed for us at the bar by the incomparable Tommy Buckley, we all retire to dress for dinner, the men flocking to the barber shop and the women to the beauty parlor. Arga Lavina and his staff of able assistants, namely John Davis, Leo McVay, and Bob Hastings, sling a mean razor blade and the men emerge looking fresh as daisies. Millv Austin, head beautician, and her colleagues, Isabel Watters, Claire Hen- rich, and Katherine Sampson, work their wiles for the women with those little aids to beauty. 41 James Nickerson outdoes himself in the meal he has prepared. Arthur Page drowns his financial worries in his tomato juice cocktail. Jim Bailey brings in the next course while Sandy Gordon removes the remains of the first one. Earle Christian a fight promoter, promotes a piece of steak to the front of Helen Boutin’s lovely self- designed gown and his ever-present blush deepens. With a scratching of matches and a puffing of cigarettes we hear our toastmaster (Gus, of course), announce his inten- tion of checking up on the attendance for curiosity’s sake. The roll-call shows that many of our former classmates are conspicuous by their absences. Gert Murray, Melba Peterson, Olive Fitzsimmons, Catherine Christie, Sis Burke, Statia Sokolowski, Helen Kusic and Marion Smith, whose bosses are practically helpless without them, simply couldn ' t get away from their secretarial duties. Ruth Brock found it impossible to leave her Children’s Hospital although she let many of her employees off, among whom are Edie Battey, Doris Govoni, Evie Boyle, Alice Blackley, Virginia Harmon, Anna Littlejohn and Edna Thomas, nurses, and Naomi Simons and Myrtle Wright, dietitians. George Shores and Allen Craven were busy with their respective gvm teams. Bill Rogers with spring football practice and Paddy Cronin and Wally Dagley with their baseball squads were too occupied to leave. Flossy Ludy couldn’t be coaxed away from her Home for Wandering Boys. Among those patronizing this worthy establishment are Bob Simpson, Bats Proctor, Jacky Philips, Jimmy Shea and Miggy Horsman in disguise. Jimmy Hales is one of the trustees. Jacky Morcom, Erman Cocozella, Eugene Kelley, William McSharrv, Will and Russ Falardeau, and Bob Harper all are gentlemen farmers so naturally they couldn’t leave their spring planting. The first after-dinner speaker was Barbara Belvea who expounded on Babies in the Home. Biff Dacev began his discourse with a booming Mv Fran’s and didn ' t say much more. Evelyn Flint’s subject was Self Control. Gladys Roberts, Blanche Robinson, Isabel Yeno, Louise Dalton, Ida Arnold, Minnie Argentina and Barbara Chambers heartily applauded Kitty Carlson’s talk for the object of her discussion was The Working Girl. The party has adjourned to the lounge for the evening .Well of all things! — Leslie Savage, the lion tamer, has become violently ill while waltzing with Rita Schlager, the seamstress. (We hasten to explain that the motion of the ship and not Rita’s danc- ing is to blame). The ship’s doctors, Arthur Sullivan, Philip Snow and Lowell Frazier, rush him off to a stateroom where they will see that he is well cared for. We expected a siege of sea-sickness among the weaker sex but most of them seem to be well accustomed to sea travel. Kathryn Crowe, Martha Enos, Dot Rogers, Florence Simonds and Evelyn Johnston all have traveled in France studying clothing design. Evie Warburton broadened her knowledge of French at the Sorbonne, Jean Day stud- ied art in Italy, and Mary Barret did literarv research in England. Maxine Vander- Cruysse and Genevieve Zelkowski have also done considerable traveling as cor- respondents for the New York Tribune. It’s a treat to watch all our staid business men trying to avoid looking sea-sick on the dance floor. We note especially Alan Donkin, Francis Crocker, Richard Burke, 42 Edwin Elliot, George Field, Fred Foley and Freddy Forbes. There seems to be a con- vention of our married women over by the radio. Marv Alves, Helen Campbell, Elsie Church, Phyllis Drollett, Helen Dewar and Dot Johnson are exchanging bits of home- ly gossip. As the evening progresses everyone sheds his dignity more and more and by now even Clare MacPherson, our eminent bacteriologist, and Louise Mcllvene, our college professoress, are giggling like school girls over something Grace Cara- manica, our only woman lawyer, has said to them. Kav Drummey looks as though she enjoys dancing with her employer, and we don ' t blame her for he’s the amiable Tommy Cloughertv. The orchestra sounds much better since Bessie Neil has bribed the pianist to let her take over his position, doesn’t 1 t? Quite a crowd has gathered over in the corner to watch the Reverend William Richardson teach Marion Sunbury, worthy missionary to China, the latest rumba. Sherm Tilden confiscated a piccolo from the orchestra to serenade a wealthy widow, Elsie Nickeron Vanderbilt. Not to be outdone, Professors John Ohlson, Leo Westfield, Ronald McDonough and Donald Jordan have decided to do an exhibition spring dance for our benefit. Just to prove that some of us have retained the sensibility of our high school days we call your attention to a group of store proprietors who are seriously discussing bus- iness conditions; they are Gustano Giovanni, Everett Haynes, Durant Lathrop, John Lonergan and Robert Maynard. Connie Shores, whose husband has risen to heights in the stock business on the strength of the excellent meals she serves his clients, was dis- cussing Wall Street very critically w ith some of the brokers present, viz., Ernie Nelson, Ernie Sears, Red Meehan and Boots Stoddard. Ruth Durgin, Mary Dwyer and Thalia McKay, prominent clubwomen, appear to be intelligently devouring the political views of Edwin Ross, Harold Yourell, and Robert South. The McKeough brothers are gravely considering taking Frank McGlaughlin into their shoe business so Mac can capitalize his ability to put his foot into things. Mary Walsh and Mary Mullis, both conscientious housewives, have cornered Lee Somers, the assistant chef and will soon have that poor defenseless male divulging his precious recipe for crepe suzettes. Mel Thayer is on the verge of accepting Peggy Worth’s offer to train her famous speed- steed, Stepinfetchit, for the next sweepstakes, so Charlie Nickson is taking this oppor- tunity to urge her to engage George Reed, soda jerker, as her jockey. (We bet Georgie looks cute on a horse!) Catherine Gallagher and Marion Perry have just decided that Franny Monaghan is just the girl to model gowns in their Fifth Avenue shoppe. As we pitch into port we can hear Mary Richards telling Jean Pantano that she thinks she’ll enter mint jelly instead of peach conserve in the State Fair this year. At this point we are rudely interrupted by the boat’s blasting whistle which is heralding our approach to the dock. And so once more we have come to the parting of the ways! 43 Se nior Class Notes As rhe high school days of the Class of 1935 number fewer and fewer, the Seniors plan to make the month of June one to he remembered. The examinations will, no doubt, make an impression on our minds, but gay activities for graduation week will furnish more favorable remembrances. During the four years of the class’s existence at Braintree High it has excelled in scholastic standing as well as in athletics. And now that the four years have been completed, we must make our departure as cheerfully as those who have gone before. However, even though we step from this portion of our lives to an entirely new era, even time will not be able to interrupt the memories we have acquired here. The Class of 1935 will be long remembered and distinguished because of taking an unprecedented step in publishing this yearbook. However, hard work accomplishes all great undertakings, and the staff and various committees have worked diligently to prepare the publication. Following are the lists of the members of the class who have written and prepared the various articles for the yearbook: R. Dacev H. Campbell R. Brock C. MacPherson G. Field F. Forbes J. Morcom Class Will E. Hall F. DeCoste Class History R. Winkler W. Rowson Senior Writeups L. Mcllvene J. Lonergan Class Prophecy H. Dewar F. Ludy Class Motto J. Bridgham J. Lawrv Class Song P. Drollett M. Mullis Class Ballot M. Barrett M. Blanchard Class Snaps C. Shores J. Shea A. McKeough H. Boutin E. Sullivan P. Snow M. Charles L. Westfield Graduation week also requires a great deal of preparation and work. Arrange- ments must be made and committees appointed to accomplish the required results. However, after the various affairs have come to an end, each graduate who has worked to make the activities successful is well repaid for his efforts. 44 The first important event which occurs in June is the Senior Banquet and the fol- lowing committees have worked for its success: Chairman — Walter Rowson General Cotnmittee Feslie Savage Alice A vi table Philip Snow Dorothy Johnson Arthur Page Catherine Burke Gifts Invitations Evelyn Johnston Ruth Winkler Elsie Church Charlotte Chenette Charles Cleary Fee Somers Caterer Seating Feo Westfield Marv Alves John Fonergan Decorations George Field Elizabeth Neil Mary Blanchard Arthur Sullivan Marv Charles Donald Jordan Thalia McKay Naomi Simon Jack Phillips Class day is always looked forward to with great interest. Earle Christian heads the following committee: Fred Forbes J ean Bridgham Ralph Dacey Florence Simmonds The Class Flower has been selected bv: Edith Battey Florence DeCoste William Richardson Durante Fathrop The Class Gift to the school was chosen by: Agostina Favina Thomas Clougherty Clare MacPherson Jean Dav The chairman of the Graduation Committee is Fouise Mcllvene, valedictorian of the Senior Class. She is assisted bv: Margaret Worth Evelyn Warburton Maxine Vander-Cruysse Rita Schlager Evelyn Flint Edward Boynton Harrv Chisholm John Davis John Huskins Melvin Thayer 45 The last activity of the Class of 1935 is the Senior Reception, one of the most im- portant of the group. Each committee must work diligently to present a successful evening not only to the members of the Class itself but also to the invited guests of the public, and the following group has accomplished this task: Ch airman — James Hales Wallace Daglev John Morcom John Meehan General Committee Ruth Brock Helen Dewar Claire Henrich Martha Enos Invitations Florence Ludy Elsie Nickerson Patrick Cronin Refreshments Alfred Richards Gertrude Murray Dorothy Rogers Evelyn Boyle Mildred Austin Margaret Horsman Decorations Sherman Tilden James Shea Everett Havnes Harry Hansen As our activities at Braintree High School come to a close we can truly say that we have had four interesting years here, years which we will not soon forget. We now find ourselves before an all-important future, and we will try to withstand the trials which we shall meet, strengthened by our many experiences and discoveries of these past years.

It is a master which comes to us in infancy and stays hy us until our very death — an instructor either to be discarded as an unwanted, unappreciated assistance in life, or to be made the most of by the wise who are ready to seize the opportunity of lessening their bur- dens. No matter how many times a parent may warn the child that a severe and painful burn will result from touching the hot stove, it is only the experience itself that can teach him the truth of this advice. So it is in our childhood that we are not bright enough to learn from any other teacher but experience, and must undergo the discom- fort which accompanies it. As we grow older, however, and attend school, we gradual- ly grow wiser and are not dependent on experience as our only teacher. From our books and instructors we learn an unbelievable number of things which our former master could not have taught us in years. It is this happy medium — this combination of ex- perience and education through books and study that will make us truly intelligent and sagacious in accomplishing what we set out to do in this world. Officer Andrews of the State Police, who addressed us this spring, is one of the many people who have learned all they know under the strict rule of experience. His schooling extended onlv through the eighth grade, and he has risen to his enviable position as a public speaker through the strength of his ambition. He admits, how- ever, that the task of learning by experience has been humiliating and embarrassing. The folly of not always taking advantage of the chance of an education has been fully realized by him. Shakespeare says in his play As You Like It, I had rather have a fool to make me merry than experience to make me sad. It is often true that too much experience of a certain kind will cause a person to be melancholy rather than assist him in life. W hen one has come in contact with many people who have at first appeared to be good friends, but have deserted in time of trouble, this one becomes distrustful of all his acquaintances, his experience having done him more harm than good. It is such experiences as these that we must guard against, for they hinder advancement rather than teach new lessons. To this end we, the Class of 1935, wish to be among those whose follies cease with their youth, and not of that number who are ignorant in spite of experience. We mav accomplish this only by learning to profit by the experiences of others as well as our own, for bv this means we, if wise, can be saved much pain and humiliation. Always we should keep in mind our class motto, Experience is the best teacher — Experienta Docet. Louise McIlvene 50 •AUTOGRAPHS UNDERCLASSMEN Juniors Let’s begin at the beginning, not merely because that ' s the customary place, to start, but primarily in order to attempt to make the report as long as it would have been had the class done anything startling to awaken us to its existence. While still infants we organized and the following officers were elected: John Ewing, president; Craig Paul, vice-president; George Hagen, treasurer; Dotty” Bean, secretary; and Mr. Dvsart, class sponsor. This stirring to action at such an early date aroused the spark of hope that perhaps here was another ambitious class for B.H. S. to be proud of. However, the only venture on which they embarked was a salty trip to Provincetown in the company of the rest of the school. Thus did the first year terminate and so the second and less fruitful year began with a restless class meeting to re-elect the officers and decide upon a sophomore dance which, incidently, was a grand success, to the point that thev managed to keep out of the red. Another sea excursion terminated another vear amid resolutions to make the next term more remarkable. After much ado this year began with the election of new officers : Bill” Erickson, president; Ruth Moulton, vice-president; George Hagen treasurer; and Dotty” Bean, secretary. At a meeting a short time after this a class ring committee was appointed. While there has, as yet, been no mention of a Junior Prom we firmly believe that they will awaken before it is too late to overwhelm us. Yes, the date May 31 As time has not revealed the finish it is impossible to tell where this ambitious class will end. Possibly it is as well! In all events let’s hope they’ll atone for their liveliness next year. 52 Class of 1936 Alfred Ackerson Winfield Adams John Alden Ralph Andrews George Appley George Bean William Beck Gaste Bendinelli Carl Benson Fred Bergman Quentin Berrio Arthur Blomberg Robert Briand William Brown Constanzo Carlozzi Leslie Carpenter Ellsworth Cassidy David Chapman Francis Conlon Robert Corrigan Joseph D ' Acci Louis D ' Arigo Tolman Davenport Irving Davis Nicola DelVecchio David Drummond Arthur Earney Herbert Eno William Erickson John Ewing George Frazier John Gerrish Peter Geso Melvin Goodearl Charles Goodspeed Verne Graves Robert Greenough George Hagen Robert Hamilton Anthony Hardy Leo Hart Allen Holmes Frederick Holmes Irvin Hunter Arthur Jacobs Paul Jennings Charles Jones Edward Jones Alfred Knight Richard MacNamee Austin Martin Walter Mattie Donald Maxham Richard McDonough William McKean Robert Meaney Clyde Morrison John Muirhead Philip Munroe Paul Noonan Franklin Odell Herbert Olofson Francis Paradis Stanley Parker Craig Paul Herbert Phillips Roy Phillips Richard Pillsbury James Pope Charles Powers Lloyd Prario Melvin Quinlin Paul Revere William Saxe Joseph Shea Fred Spiess Clayton Stackhouse Walter Stronach Arthur Sullivan Robert Tonner Raymon Walker John Wallace Milton Winchester Althea Adams Beatrice Allen Althea Armstrong Helen Arnold Priscilla Arnold Doris Bean Suzanne Blodgett Isabel Bodell Edna Boutin Barbara Bowie Ethel Brown Josephine Brown Mildred Butler Nancy Buttrick Grace Campbell Patricia Carroll Doris Carter Jennie Caruso Josephine Chiasson Marie Clayton Elizabeth Cleggett Marion Collier Edna Connolly Mabel Coose Muriel Coyle Cora Crosby Rita Cunniff Phyllis Cushing Virginia Cushing Elvira DePari Dorothy Dibble Ruth Diekmever Louise Dolloff Clara Drake Agnes Dwyer Dorothy Eklof Lorraine Ellis Verna Ellis Virginia Estabrook Olive Fisher Mary Furlong Geraldine Gray Frieda Hall Barbara Haviland Helen Healy Emma Hyland Agnes Larkin Marion Leahy Edna LeVangie Theodora Lytle Marion MacDonald Bernadette Maguire Helen Mahar Gertrude Mann Deborah Marston June Matthews Irene Mattie Mildred Maxham Leona McDormand Elizabeth McKean Constance McKim Mary McManus Mary McSharry Elizabeth Mera Dorothy Miles Ruth Moulton Alice Neal Helen Olson Leslie Parker Priscilla Peirce Alice Pendoley Dorothy Perry Irene Pierce Elizabeth Rivoire Carolyn Sampson Pearle Simonds Elma Spiess Kathryn Tardif Eleanor Tracey Dorothy Turner Gertrude Urquhart Louise Wentworth Marion White Ruth White Phyllis Whitlock Marjorie Wright Barbara Young 53 Sophomores The class officers are: Russell Ackerman, president; Frank Johnson, vice-presi- dent; Norma Hedlund, secretary; Joseph Avitable, Treasurer; and Mr. Kane, sponsor. The class of 1937 entered Braintree High School with a singular purpose in mind, to advance itself socially, athletically, and perhaps academically. Due to the part- time schedule, we haven’t had a chance yet to prove our class outstanding, but our Freshman year was very successful. W e started a Dramatic Club with Miss Hearn and gave three plays, two of which were “Figureheads” and “Circumstances Alter Cases,” at an assemblv at the end of the year. This year we decided not to give a Sophomore dance because vague rumors and whisperings came to our ears about the amount of money left after all the ex- penses had been paid on last year’s dance. It wasn’t worth it! Although we didn’t put on anything ourselves we participated in many of the entertainments given by the school. Just half the chorus and six of the principals of “The Pirate’s Daughter” came from ' 37- We were the ones who bought and sold many of the tickets, ushered, sold candy, and helped generally, too. Bill Peters, Bill Earnev, Albie Frazier and others have put ' 37 on the football map. Peters is one of the most promising Sophs seen in recent years and is a letter man on the first team. On the diamond Bregoli, Christoff, Cummings, Earney, and Rinaldi seem to be highlights. Three of the outstanding players on the girls’ hockey team were Sophomores, Marv D’Acci, Mary Drummey, and Virginia McCarty. There were also quite a few in the Gym Exhibition. Our academic progress is shown by the Honor Roll, on which the Sophomores easily keep up with the other classes. Our class officers are intellectual, too, for they all have been honor students. Mr. Kane, a new teacher, is our sponsor. He is becoming one of the most popular teachers in the school, as coach of the football and track teams, besides instructing in Math and Science. It’s easy to see why such sudden interest is shown in Algebra! We have a Junior Prom, a Minstrel Show, Senior Reception and Graduation coming, so watch the 230 members of the Class of 1937- 54 Class of 1937 Russell Ackerson Ethan Allen Richard Allen John Alves Roland Arnold Francis Avakian Joseph Avitabile John Bates Arthur Bentham August Bergman Roy Borden Lawrence Bowie Richard Branley Paul Braun Louis Bregoli Llovd Buker Robert Burnham Ralph Butler Michael Califano Walter Cavanagh Lloyd Chandler Francis Christofi John Collins Charles Cummings Dominic Daiute Erville Davis Lloyd Dewar William Earney Thomas Emmett Horace Eno William Farrington Edward FitzPatrick Charles Ford Albert Frazier Irving Frazier Gordon Frey Howard Gavin Samuel Geso Ernest Giovanni Frank Gustaferro Donald Harrington Lawrence Healey Thomas Hennebury Daniel Horner Philip Hough George Irving Ernest Janssen Raymond Jarvio Frank Johnson Raymond Johnson Robert Johnson James Johnston Benjamin Joy Robert Karling Anthony Kavelevsky John Kavelevsky Robert Keigan Albert Keith Douglas LaBree Peter Landry John Leahy Fred Leavitt John Littlejohn Charles Lyons Clifford Magnuson Fred Martin Harold Martin Newton McKean Howard Menadier Joseph Mischler Ro bert Mohan Richard Morcom William Morcom Charles Nelson Roy Nelson William Nelson William Newell James Nicholson Arthur Perry William Peters Carl Peterson David Petterson Warren Pinkham Linwood Raymond Joseph Reardon Francis Rinaldi Robert Roberts Frank Rogers John Rogers Samuel Rosanna John Ryan Paul Ryder V ictor Sears Gordon Shadrick Donald Smets Lewis Snow Fred.

Numerous activities have kept them on the go all the time. First of all the Frosh minored all predecessors by successfully giving an operetta for an appreciative audience on March 22, 1935 — The Sunbonnet Girl, in which Helen Meader played the title role. Members of the cast were D. Rice, S. Brock, H. Snow, R. Perkins, A. DeMano, R. Young, F. Bridgham, G. Rideout, A. Charles, P. Simon, R. Haviland, F. Gillan, C. Mann, M. Till. Those who did special dances were Elaine Gambino and Elizabeth Lawrence. Miss McCusker and Miss Summerville were in charge. Next came the magazine drive. Mr. Toolin’s Do Betters finally won. They suc- ceeded in selling 66 subscriptions, defeating Mr. Dvsart ' s heretofore invulnerable Go Getters. Together both teams sold 126 subscriptions. Phyllis Simon was elected governor for the freshmen as a result of the drive. The freshman football team was coached by Mr. Toolin. The 25 players elected Richard Gilbert as captain. The team played the combined second and third teams and the freshmen were defeated 19 to 7. In the fall of the year an essay contest was held in connection with National Book Week. Mary Gambino wrote the prize-winning essay entitled, Mv Wide, Wi de World of Books. Winners of honorable mention were M. Kjellander, N. Pinola, H. Sullivan, P. Simon, B. Murdock. The Freshman Debating Club, consisting of eight members, was presided over by Velma Shorey; the faculty adviser, Miss McCusker. A debate on the Townsend Plan was held in the assembly hall in early February. Those participating were D. Rice, H. Cincere, E. Rowell on the affirmative side, and D. Gillespie, V. Shorey, and A. Charles argued the negative. Jean Patterson was chairman. The judges, Mr. Grindle, Mr. Scott, and Miss Hearn, voted unanimously for the negative. The freshman boys and girls played basketball in the gym on Thursday mornings during the winter.

A dangerous triple-threat man, he has turned many a tide to victory during his three years. He deserved the All South-Shore title given him and many more. Captain-elect Bill Erickson justly deserves the captaincy and all that accompanies it. A smashing blocker, an accurate pass-thrower and superb kicker, Bill is expected to follow his predecessor and rank with the best on the South Shore. Good luck in ’35 Bill. Aubrey Christian was the powerhouse of the line. Against sterling competition all year he always came out on top. A true, fighting, swash-buckling guard with a fiaming spirit. The second of the pair of All South-Shore awards goes to Earle. Soup Shores was transformed from a guard to a tackle and showed equal aptitude at both. He learned many tricks, led the interference marvelously, was a dynamic blocker, and crashed through to kill the attack before it started. Soup was a cool, col- lected fighter, however, and tended to steadv the team down. 60 Rosie Rowson at last came into his own and how he made good!! A tremendous defensive man, an excellent ball-feeder and possessor of one of the hardest charges on the team, Rosie deserved every bit of commendation tendered him. Ernie Nelson was a shrewd plav-diagnoser and had all the essentials of a good signal-caller. A slim, tricky, swivel-hipped type of player, Ernie had the football brains that are the primary requisite for anv quarterback. Biff Dacey is one of the most natural of all the football players in the school. A fine blocker and spine-cracking tackier, Biff was used for end sweeps, off-tackle slants, line plunges, passes, punts and about everything until he finally got a bum knee. But this didn’t stop him and he kept on the same as before. Red Meehan was another of the Five Horsemen who battled for a starting posi- tion in the backheld. Red was probably the most nonchalant player of all year but this didn’t deter one bit from his fighting spirit. Red could hold his own with anybody in running, kicking, or passing. Chang Shea, although not such a menace to opponents because of his size, was the hardest working player on the team. The bigger they are, the harder they thud, was Chang’s motto, and he certainly lived up to it. Harry Hansen got off to a rather belated start but because of his past experience and ability, he was soon recognized and given a chance. Harry came along good, how- ever, and was one of the stars at the end of the season. Mun Monroe was a big, speed v, wide-roving, smashing end. Though unseasoned at end, Mun has assimilated a knowledge of football and should be one of the bul- warks of the line next year. Charlie Goodspeed is another big gun for next year. Being an understudy to Rosie, he didn’t get much recognition but he is a fighting, cocky player, and will be another pillar of strength in the line. 61 E. Boyle (Manager ' ), A Adams, P. Arnold. L.

Diekmeyer Field Hockey This year the hockey team seemed rejuvenated. This can be accounted for in two ways. The young and promising underclassmen were out righting for positions, and by so doing, kept the Seniors and veterans “on the hop to retain their positions. Mig Horseman was just the girl to inculcate this spirit. A fighting right-winger, she had an indomitable fortitude and nearly played herself out, so hard did she try. What more could be asked for, Captain-elect Priscilla Arnold rightfully deserved the honor bestowed upon her. Noted for her fine and earnest playing, she never gets ex- cited and will prove to be a steadying influence because of her even temperament. Good luck in ’35, Priscilla! Evie Boyle, as manager and goalie, had many hard chances and handled them re- markablv. She was the guardian angel for the whole team, and they all admit that they had no qualms whatsoever about the goal. Eadie Battey was another in the same category as Evie. That is she wasadefensive star. At left halfback she repelled all invaders and her long driver put Braintree in many a scoring position. 62 Flossie Ludv was the jester off the field but in a game she was the most serious player on the team. As a right halfback, she couldn’t be surpassed, and saved many a game with her foresight and quick thinking. Connie Shores was the surprise of the whole season. Out for the first time, she made the varsity with ease, and was a real inspiration to the whole team. Sis Burke was the spear-head of the attack at center and consequently, as a good center should be, she was the highest scorer on the team. Notwithstanding this fact, she was also a very hard worker and will be missed next year. Gussie Chiasson as a Junior played a very fine game at right fullback. She could be depended upon for both amusement and for stopping all and any invaders with her long drives. She will be back next year and we hope she continues her grand playing. Kay Drummey played left wing and put on a sister act. This sisterly love proved to be a boon to the team as they teamed up many times and scored often for Braintree. The rest of the players had either one or two others who played their positions as well as they. Betty Cronin and Mary D’Acci alternated at right inside. Much is expected of these two in the future. Mary Drummey and Ginnie McCarty also alter- nated together at left inside. This was to the advantage of the team, as one player could be resting while the other played. Althea Adams received unlimited experience last year at center-half and should be one of the stars next year. To Miss Daugherty goes much credit for all her time and energy in keeping the one girls’ varsity sport alive last year. We hope that this sport grows in the years to come, and that the girls get more varsity sports. 63 W. Wilder (M.anagtr), R Briand, W. Thaver (Assistant Nanap t er ' ). W. Stronach.J. Lonergan, G. Procter, J. Briggs, E. Ross, F. Christofi, Mr. Lawrence (Coach ' ). W. Erickson, F Rinaldi, C. C.arlozzi, C. Cummings, P. Cronin ( Captaiu ), W. Earney, T. Clougherty, W. Daglev, J. Ewing. B a s e b a 1 1 This year six varsity men returned and the team was molded around these men. Pat” Cronin was elected captain and was the perfect leader, being a three-year first- string veteran. He was an ideal center fielder, clever enough to cover the ground a fast man could. He was possessed of a good throwing arm and was a good hitter in his own right. To top all this he was the fighting type of plaver which is a vital essential in a captain. Ernie Nelson was one of the best catchers the high school has had in years. Full of pep and knowledge of the game, Ernie’s voice could be heard booming forth, al- ways encouraging the whole team. Big Bill Erickson and Gara” Yourell were the two mainstays in the pitching box. They both had plenty of stuff and gained a world of knowledge under Sam ' s” able teaching. Gara” will be lost to the team next year but Bill will be back and is expected to be better than ever. 64 Wally Dagley was the perfect outfield mate for Pat Cronin. Wally was very fast, the fence-busting type of hatter, and was cocky enough to make any hall team. He covered more than enough territory and changed many a labeled hit to a put-out. Johnny Ewing looked rather raw at shortstop last year, but through the summer gained the grace and finesse that go to make a good shortfielder. He was the needed spark-plug at short and will return next year. There were many other fine players who didn’t quite make the first string grade this year, mainly due to lack of experience. Ross and Lonergan were good relief pitchers but both boys were Seniors and out for baseball for the first time. It is regrettable that these two and Red Briggs, a peppy, aggressive infielder are graduating. Red was a good man to have on any ball club as a utility player. This is the role he played this year and handled it capably. Several very promising underclassmen were kept on the squad this year and, with a little development and experience, should be good for next year and the year after. Craig Paul, who played first on the varsity, Bob Briand, understudy to Nelson and Carlozzi, the sun fielder, have all shown their merits as Juniors, with Joe D ' Acci also learning things from Pat about the outfield. Two Sophomore stars broke through into the limelight and deserve special men- tion. These are Bill Earnie, a tall, rangy pitcher of especial note, and Renaldi, who covered the hot corner. Both these boys are young and can be molded into very valu- able men. Good luck to ’em! 65 D. Horner, P. Bailey, R. Dacey, Mr. Kane (Coach ' ), G. Shores, H. Hansen, P. Munroe. F. Spiess, A.

Track W hen you see a group of hoys out behind the school skipping rope don ' t think they’re a hunch of sissies. It’s just the track team exhibiting the tricks Coach Kane has shown them. W 7 ith the snow off the ground track has started under the capable guidance of Coach Kane. On March 16 seven fellows went to Dedham to a novice meet. Quite a sensation was created by the boys practicing in the long corridor on the first floor. The team is captained bv Jack Morcom, the holder of the high school half mile record and our main hope for the high jump. Hinky” Haines is our broad jumper and is expected to break records and keep the squad in good spirits throughout the season. Charlie Goodspeed, who showed up so well with “Garry” Baker and “Phil” Healey last year, is a junior now and promises to be a strong miler. 66 ' ' Mel” Thayer should do very well in the quarter and Bill Beck will probably run the 220, with Ernie Nelson running the 100. With a little help from the park commission and the town steam roller the track will be the best Braintree High has ever had and from the way that the held has been leveled out there should be room for a quarter mile track in place of the fifth mile of last year. Our first home meet will be with Walpole, May 2, to be followed bv a home meet with Hingham on the 17th. Then comes North Quincy, a newcomer to our schedule, on May 21. On May 15 there will be a triangle meet with Weymouth and Abington at Abington. On June 1 we will go to Brockton for the Brockton Interscholastic Meet. Later on there will be a meet with Weymouth and possibly one with Concord. With the material that has turned out for practice, it looks as though we might repeat the undefeated record of last year. 67 W. Rogers (Captain), G. Davis, R Dacev, S. Tilden, J Meehan, P.

Jackson, M. Day, M. Cronin. Gym Team The gvm team at Braintree High is becoming recognized more and more each suc- ceeding year. This idea is unique in high school. Very few other schools nearby have anv exhibition or team to compare with the annual show presented at Braintree. This year Bill Rogers was elected to lead the boys as Captain. Bill went out for the team last year and so easily and wonderfully did he improve that he was one of the real stars of the show. So interested was Bill in making good that he determined to do a giant swing or break his neck in the attempt. He nearly did both, but fell a little short in the latter. He will do the swing the night of the exhibition, however, with no cas- ualties, we hope. Soup Shores, one of Mr. Thwing’s old standbys and winner of the cup last year, has kept up his good work and has had a chance to specialize this year. Soup’s favorite 68 is one of the hardest of all the stunts. He has attempted to perfect a hand stand on the parallel bars. Red Meehan has improved more than anyone else on the whole team this year. He has worked hard and is also on the parallel bars. Biff Dacey resolved to do one thing to perfection, and chose for this the kip”. Every time you may visit the gym, you see him practicing on the bar. There were several other men who deserve mention for their fine work, notably Jimmy Andrews, who came to school for the sole purpose of giving his services to the gym team. Kay Cassidy, who has had previous experience, is very good and will be much better in the future. Sherman Tilden is another old guard who has taken up per- forming on the rings in earnest, and is getting good along these lines. The girls haven’t as much individual work as the boys. Their work includes a march, a drill, a tap dance, tumbling, and ring work. Connie Shores was elected cap- tain and is a true leader. Helen Welch was last year’s cup winner, and is still at work. Ruth Moulton is one of the most promising of the juniors, and is working very hard. Flossie Ludy and Mig Horsman, Seniors, are both good for their first year out. Margy Scheible, a sophomore, is a very promising candidate, and is best on the rings. The juniors, who are outstanding include: Dottie Bean, Gus Chiasson, Ruth Diekmever, and Althea Adams. The best of the sophomores are Margy Day, Betty Cronin, and Mary Drummey. 69 J. Morcom (Coach ' ), W. Beck, H. Chisholm (Manager), A. Hardy, R. Johnson J. McKeough, W. Morcom, C. Waire, M. Thayer (Captain), C. Benson, J. Alves, E. Allen. Cross Country The Cross Country team this year was, for the first time in the history of the high school, coached by one of our own students. Jack Morcom, besides being a very able coach, led the team to victory many times. Mel” Thayer, quiet and unassuming, captained the team and certainly lived up to his position by running hard in every meet and placing in the front ranks. Most of the meets were won by lopsided scores, for example: Weymouth was beaten 15-53- We suffered only one defeat and that was at the hands of our old arch rival, Quincy High, with a score of 23 - 37 - Our closest meet was with Hopedale whom we beat by three points, 26-29- At the beginning of the season the prospects weren’t so cheerful because when Coach Ray Chapman departed he left the school without a coach for Cross Country. Also most of our best runners had graduated and only three letter men turned out for practice. The new candidates were surprisingly good, supplying the team with much needed support. 70 •AUTOGRAPHS ADVERTISEMENTS BENTLEY “What can you do?’’ is the question a young man must answer in a convincing way if he wants more than an un- skilled job.

Have you planned what you will do after you finish High School? College, Post-Graduate study, Business? Picture yourself this J une, or any 1 une for that matter, interviewing a prospective employer. His first question will be, “What experience have you had?” Probably your only hope, however, is to show him that you have had such good training for his kind of a business, and you are so willing to work hard to make a success, that your training and enthusiasm far outweigh your lack of experience. Then he will say, “What have you had for training, and where did you get it?” If you can tell him that you took such-and-such a course at Bryant Stratton it will be a great help. Possibly he went to Bryant Stratton himself. At least he knows of someone who has attended the school during its 70 years of existence and he knows the high standard set by the school, so that if you say that you are a Bryant Stratton graduate you will doubtless be favored for the position. We. here at the school building in Boston, see that same situation occurring every day. 1 ' hat is why we keep the standards high. It makes our graduates more in demand. When you are in Boston, come in to visit the school building, and see the very favorable con- ditions under which the students work.
