We are also greatly indebted to the advertisers, who have contributed so kindly and generously. We earnestly hope that they will be duly rewarded for their splendid cooperation. Wealso wish to make thefollowing personal acknowl- edgments : To Miss Kathleen Welch for her willingness to co- operate. To Mr. Aldo D. Chiesa for his sincere interest, splendid art work, and valuable suggestions on arrangement. To Leo J.

School Nurse Ode to the Class of 1936 Words and Music by George Hagen From out the portals of this school We merge, each one his soul content, That here within these sacred walls Our earnest labors were well spent. Upon its threshold now we stand. With stalwart mind and spark of youth. The gate of life is open wide Through which we pass in search of truth. Our tasks to conquer at our will. Ambitions high we will fulfill. Now forth we go to prove our worth. Our place to fill on this great earth. Vivian Maglathlin SENIORS Phyllis Whitlock WILLIAM ERICKSON Class president — most popular boy. Bull” is lost without a foot- ball in his hands, Captain of 1935 team Snappy dresser, host of fair admirers. Couldn ' t keep dates and Saturday night dances straight. An asset to 1936. B. H. S. will miss him. Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4, Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Captain 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Class President 3, 4; Vice-Presi- dent A. A. 3, Hi Y Club 2; Track 1; IVampatuck 4; Football Dance 4; Junior Prom 3. RUTH MOULTON One of our most popular seniors, and a real credit to the class is Ruthie. Efficiency, personality, and looks are all part of the secret of Ruthie ' s great popularity. We can’t forget that on top of everything, she ' s a Gvm Exhibition Cup Win- ner. Best of luck in the future, Ruthie! Class Vice-President 3, 4; Gym Team 1, 3, 4; Year Book 4, IVampa- tuck 4; Junior Prom 3; Basketball 2; Football Dance 4; Show Boat 4, Ways and Means Committee 4. DORIS BEAN Dottie, an outs tanding young lady of our class, has shown interest, and participated in practically every activity at school. She is our Year Book editor, and possesses a pleas- ing piersonality. In all types of work she has e.xemplified superiority. Good luck for your coming career! Class Secretary 1, 2, 3, 4, IVampa- tuck Staff 2, 3, 4; Year Book Staff 3, 4, Gym Team 1, 3; Basketball 2, 4, Show Boat 4; Mikado ” 2; Pi- rate ' s Daughter 3; IVampatuck Play 4; Alumni Committee 4, Photo- graph Committee 4; Football Dance 4;Junior Prom 3. GEORGE HAGEN What will Miss Flint do without George ' s musical ability? George is well known to all of us for his abil- ity to tickle the ivories and also for his jovial spirit and perfect blush. We often wonder who is be- hind that blush. Who is she, George? Class Treasurer 1, 2, 3, 4; Football 1; Baseball 2; German Club 2; Show Boat 4; Class Song 4; Football Dance 4; Junior Prom 3. ALFRED ACKERSON A1 is certainly one of our most interested and loyal classmates. He is quiet, modest, and pleasant, a fine student and athlete. His name is not only first in the alphabetical list of the class, but first also when we need some dependable help or ad- vice. Football 1, 3; Basketball 1, 2; Gym Team 1, 2; Photograph Com- mittee 4. ALTHEA ADAMS Al is another of our girl ath- letes, and a good one too. We often wonder what the commercial de- partment will do without her. Al- though she has an outside interest, Al is always ready and willing to help in anything and everything. Field Hockey 2, 3, 4, Basketball 2, 3, 4, Gym Team 1, 2, 3, 4; Show Boat 4; Class Ballot 4; Senior Re- ception 4. WINFIELD ADAMS W ' inkie” is one of our most op- timistic Seniors. He practically lives on jokes and witty remarks. He sails a boat and swims all sum- mer and keeps in trim walking to school in the winter. Winkie is famous for his unlimited vocabulary. BEATRICE ALLEN Bea is one of the most popular young ladies of B. H. S. She is full of pep, vim, and vigor — and the joy of living. If you have any money, Bea will take it — at the bank, we mean. She is always loads of fun . We know from experience. Field Hockey 2, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4: Gym Team 1, 2, 3, 4, Bank 3, 4; Junior Prom 3; Year Book 4; Baseball 3. 16 RALPH ANDREWS Andv” is the Tom Thumb of the class, but despite his wee size, he is quite an athlete and a very good cook. What a husband he ' ll make, a good cook and small enough to handle — don ' t rush girls ! Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball 4, Gym Team 1. GEORGE APPLET ■ ' Heifer is president of the B. H. S. Woman Hater ' s Union. This wild and woolly Easterner still claims they don ' t have Indian skir- mishes in East Braintree any more. However, he always is good-na- tured and willing to help. Basketball 4, Big Hearted Her- bert 3, Poultry Club 2. ALTHEA ARMSTRONG Always a smile, never a frown. A pleasing personality and a hard worker. She has our best wishes in whatever she undertakes in the future, and we are well assured that she will succeed. Basketball 4. HELEN ARNOLD Manager of the girls ' hockey team. We might add that she is a little bit bashful, but Helen is an extremely likable person and al- wavs in good humor. She is a great companion and friend. You have our best wishes for the future! Basketball 2, 3, Hockey Manager 4; Orchestra 1, Band 3; Show Boat 4; Pirate ' s Daughter 3; Senior Show Committee 4. PRISCILLA ARNOLD Cilia was the captain of our hockey squad, and a very efficient one, as her fellow members will agree. Although she seems to be rather boyish, she is very bashful in — but why should we give that particular class publicity? Anyway she ' s bashful. Hockey 2, 3, 4; Captain 4; Gym Team 1, 2, 3, 4, Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Show Boat 4; Mikado 2; Base- ball 3. GEORGE BEAN George is another one of our more retiring classmates. But if Mr. Jones has anything to say about it, George will eventually ov ' ercome his bashfulness. Anyway, he is al- ways agreeable, and can take a joke. WILLIAM BECK Bill has been an ardent sup- porter of track activities during his four years in high school and has developed into a fine runner. Also we understand Bill to be Mr. Jones ' right hand history authority. Which is it Bill, the Olympics or B. U.? Track 2, 3, 4; Cross Country 3, 4; Class Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Band 2; Orchestra 2; Debating Club 3; Senior Show Committee 4; Indoor Track 4. GASTE BENDINELLI Gaste is one of those quiet steady pluggers. He says little but always has his homework done. Gaste firmly believes in the motto Si- lence is Golden and has aspirations to be a lawyer. Good luck, Gaste. 17 CARL BENSON Carl is short, has blonde hair and blue eyes. He is a happy-go-lucky fellow full of smiles, laughter and fun. Who could ask for anything more? Success certainly will be his with such a combination. Good luck Carl. Football 1, 4, Basketball 1, 2; Cross Country 3; Big Hearted Herbert” 3. FRED BERGMAN Fred is one of the smaller mem- bers of our class, bur this has no depressing effect on his personality. Fred is rather quiet in school, but you never can tell about these silent people. All in all, he’s an asset to ’36. Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Gym Team 1, 4; Baseball 2, 3. SUZANNE BLODGETT Sue is a good dresser, popular, and one couldn’t help noticing her golden curls. Did you know she is quite a pianist? Sue has an outside interest, but divides her time ac- cordingly. Her pleasing personality and smile have made her many friends. Basketball 4, Class Day 4. ISABEL BODELL Another merry member for . our class register who has two of the merriest blue eyes, and is guilty of continuous merriment. Now we know why she is popular with her East Braintree friends. A Bus will be lost without Isabel’s ready assis- tance in singing the latest hits. Basketball 2. EDNA BOUTIN Edna is a sporty dresser. Her favorite sports are horseback riding and driving to school every morning (about one minute before the bell) which must be the reason for her trim ’’figure.” Her smile and laugh are contagious. Edna, tell us where you get all the pep! ’’Pirate’s Daughter” 3; Basket- ball 4; Ye. r Book 4; Show Boat 4. BARBARA BOWIE Barbara could serve as a model for any artist. Even though a little shy- ness predominates, we can certainlv appreciate her versatility. Inci- dentally, Barbara and her car might form another one of those insepar- able pairs. Basketball 4; Banquet Commit- tee 4. ROBERT BRIAND Bob” is not only an aggressive football player, but also a con- scientious worker in everything. He seems to have a sense of humor since he manages to laugh at all the teachers’ jokes (?). ’’Bob” is one all around good sport, with plenty of what it takes I Football 1, 3, 4; Cross Country 2; Gym Team 1, 2, 4, Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball 3; Show ' Boat 4; Wam- patuck Play 4; Alumni Committee 4; junior Prom 3; Wampatuck Staff 4. ETHEL BROWN A luscious combination of large brown eyes and golden locks de- scribes our Ethel, who is always seen in the company of her bosom pals, Isabel and Sweetie.” Ethel, who is a working girl” should be a first class saleslady by now. Keep up the good work, Ethel. Basketball 2. 18 JOSEPHINE BROWN A model of rare personality! She spends all her spare moments col- lecting quarters for the Wampa- tuck. Speaking from experience, she certainly is a pal worth knowing. Joe is also a faithful student w ' ho just can’t help having future suc- cess. Wampatuck Staff 4, Photograph Committee 4; Class Prophecy 4; Class Gift Committee 4. WILLIAM BROWN Red should be a comedian, as the gang has got many a laugh through him. Such a happ ' -go- lucky spirit! Judging from vour present newspaper activities, we can expect to see you a city editor some- time in the future, huh? Mikado 2; Show Boat 4; Class Prophecy 4. MILDRED BUTLER Mildred has one of the sweetest dispositions we know of. She is very pleasant and loves school so it seems. She is a tranquil, unruffled, modest young lady and we like her. Orchestra 1, 2; Band 2. GRACE CAMPBELL Gracie, who is a future skating champ, was also an important mem- ber of our Girl ' s Hockey Squad last season. She has a weakness for poetry; not for writing it, but for learning other people’s works. Grace has a sense of humor, too. Field Hockey 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4, Band 3; Gym Team 1, 2; CONSTANZO CARLOZZI Connie is a baseball enthusiast. He takes a special liking in making the history class laugh at his brief, to-the-point recitations. That hair- comb of his is always slick as grease, even after gym. He is a good all around sport. Baseball 3, 4, Football 1, 4; Bas- ketball 1, 2, 3, 4. DORIS CARTER Blonde, curlv hair, fair skin and a snappv dresser. She has a wide circle of friends. Although rather quiet around school we wonder if she is like that outside of school? We hear she is interested in the florist bus- iness! Basketball 1, 2, 4, Show Boat 4; Reception 4. JENNIE CARUSO Jennie is a barrel of fun. When she smiles she flashes a set of perfect- Iv beautiful, sparkling white teeth. Her hair is just a mass of tiny per- fect waves and she represented her homeroom during the famous mag- a. ine drive. Show Boat 4. ELLSWORTH CASSIDY Kav ” is a good dancer which makes him popular with the girls. An all-round good feller taking part in most school activities. His Ford has saved many a long walk during the football season. 19 DAVID CHAPMAN Dave is our class politician. He might indeed be termed smooth, as well as a likable, friendly, and humorous individual. Dave can talk — in fact he could almost talk one into believing black was white. Anyway, Dave, we re wishing you the best of luck! Cross Country 4 ; Dramatic Club 4; Banquet 4. MARION COLLIER Well, what could one say about a .good sport except that she has a large circle of friends and an en- viable disposition? Marion believes that all work and no play make Jill a dull girl. The best of luck, Marion, we have enjoyed having you as a classmate. Banquet 4. FRANCIS CONLON Francis is eager to give his assis- tance in practically all school activ- ities, although in an unobtrusive manner. We all know him by his wavy hair and amiable disposition — just a quiet good-looking chap from the east end of the town. Gift Committee 4. EDNA CONNOLLY Edna’s that tall, dark, sophisti- cated lady, and that ' s not all. She ' s one that dares to be different and gets away with it — causing no little envy to the girls, who, never- theless, can’t help admiring her. MABEL COOSE Where’s Mabel? In the commercial office doing an excellent piece of bookkeeping, without doubt. She has pretty hair, pretty eyes and a charming, spontaneous smile for everyone. Mabel is the third party in the inseparable Adams, Furlong, Coose trio. Gym Team 1, 2, 4; Basketball 4; Show Boat 4; Class Day 4. ROBERT CORRIGAN Who doesn’t remember Bud driving his Model T with one arm to the football games? He is the other member of the out-spoken firm of Brown Corrigan. Wonder what Bud would do with a si- lence test? Football 1, 4; Show Boat 4; Track 1; Class Will 4; Reception 4; Photograph 4; Baseball 1; Basket- ball 1,2. MURIEL COYLE Muriel is another of our class- mates whom we don’t know much about. She is quiet and unobtrusive, and seems to stay within her own circle of friends. Anyway we know that because Muriel is persistent she’ll accomplish whatever she de- cides to undertake. CORA CROSBY Here is a bundle full of energy and wit combined. Cora sings her way merrily along for Trouble’s just a bubble for this gay lass (she has two of the nicest dimples when she smiles). Laugh and the world laughs with you is a motto we could all afford to follow, Cora. 20 RITA CUNNIFF If vou feel like laughing see Rita. She can supply you with more laughs than Joe Fenner and the Marx brothers put together She plavs a violin like Rubinoff and sticks to Helen Healey like Amos does to Andy. PHYLLIS CUSHING Tall and charming, with a pleas- ing personality — Always manages to squeeze a little bookkeeping in during English period. She is usually seen with Leona and Con- nie, completing the trio. Phyl has a weakness for uniforms. How about It, Phyl? VIRGINIA CUSHING Did someone say she could play the Xylophone? Yes, Ginny is one of the most accomplished and tal- ented musicians in our class. With her pleasing manner and agreeable disposition, true success is bound to be hers. Orchestra 1; Pirate ' s Daughter 3; Show Boat 4; Junior Prom 3; Class Song 4; IVampatuck 4; Year Book 4. JOSEPH D ' ACCI Demi-tasse is another of the class half-pints, but can he play football — against the freshmen. Joe is a good athlete tho ' and has, in all sports, the distinction of being on the ground more than anyone else. Well, good things come in small packages, Joe. Football 1, 2, 4; Baseball 3, 4, Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Gym Team 1; Show Boat 4. TOLMAN DAVENPORT Tolie is a great kid as well as a great runner. He is a good sport and popular among his host of close friends. Tolie is a good dancer and a snappy dresser. Keep up that smile, Tolman, everyone likes it. Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Track 3, 4; Cross Country 4, Rifle Club 3; IVam- patuck 4, Show Boat 4. IRMNG DAVIS Irving is a gym-teamer who dis- plays a great deal of marvelous work. He swims and dives equally as well. His favorite hobby is monkeying” around with radios trying to get South Africa or Kala- mazoo! Gvm Team 1, 2, 3, 4, Football 4; Tennis 4; Class Motto 4. NICOLA DEL VECCHIO Nicky is the boy with the black, curly hair. His two great heroes are Bing Crosby and Wally Berger. Nick has a secret ambition, but even Walter Winchell couldn ' t find out, so it will be learned in a later age, I guess. DOROTHY DIBBLE Dot is liked by everyone who meets her. Her wavy brown hair is envied by many on damp days when curls won ' t stay curled! We like her soft, low voice which is heard in English class always giv- ing the correct answ ' er. 21 RUTH DIEKMEYER An all-round good sport, that ' s Ruth. She plays hockey and basket- ball. She also makes basketball an outside interest. Always a cheery smile which makes her popular with all. Gym Team 1, 2, 3; Hockey 2, 3, 4, Basketball 2, 4; Dramatic Club 3, 4; Show Boat 4; Dramatic Club Play 3. LOUISE DOLLOFF Louise certainly has a great ca- reer ahea; of her in the world of art. She is a rather quiet, unobtrusive voung lady, as artists should be — but frequently aren’t. We’re wish- ing you all kinds of future success! Show Boat 4, IVampatuck 4. CLARA DRAKE Whenever there was an uproar, we could, a good many times, pin the blame on Clara’s infectious giggle. Clara’s sunny smile and carefree air will always be stepping stones toward making new friends and keeping the old. This peppy young lady is a marvelous skater. ’’Pirate’s Daughter” 3, Ring Committee 3; Football Dance 4; Basketball 4; Gym Team 4; Show Boat 4; Track 2. DAVID DRUMMOND ’’Dave” is the answer to a maid- en’s prayer; tall, dark and buzzes around in an Oldsmobile. We also understand that ’’Dave ” only has eyes for a certain brunette in Quincy. A decided inclination toward being a successful politicion declares itself when David starts to talk. Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4, Football 1, 3; Rifle Club 1, 2; ’’Big Hearted Her- bert ” 3; Sophomore Dance 2; Show Boat 4; Junior Prom 3, Oral English Club 3; ’’Dulcy” 4. AGNES DWYER ’’Aggie” has a hidden quality which is brought to light in Oral English. That fine art is acting. Exams nev ' er bother her, yet she always manages to keep up her reputation for good marks. Her jovial disposition has brought her many friends. ARTHUR EARNEY Art gives the impression of bash- fulness, but — don’t let that fool you. His hobby is hunting, and woe be unto any game that is around when Art takes his trusty gun in hand. Art is not onl y popular with the fellows, but has given many a feminine heart a turn. LORRAINE ELLIS We will always remember ’’Sweet- ie” as one of our star players on the Girl’s Hockey Team. She plays basketball, baseball — well almost any game with the ”vim and vigor” we would all like to possess. Her jovial spirit and twinkling eyes are two especially good reasons for her popularity. Gym Team 1; Hockey 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 4, ’’Big Hearted Her- bert” 3; Show Boat 4, Dramatic Club 3- VERNA ELLIS A flashing smile and winsome way make VTrna one of our most likeable seniors. Verna has devel- oped quite an interest in the library this past year — could it have been the books, we wonder? With such a personality, Verna will never be without a multitude of friends. 22 HERBERT ENO Have you noiced a tall, lanky, blonde fellow rushing down the corridors and disappearing in Miss Walker ' s room? Well, that was Herbert. He is a quiet, good-na- tured, and dependable fellow. Tons of dynamite could not disturb Her- bert’s good nature. Rifle Club 1; Tennis 4. VIRGINIA ESTABROOK Yes, Ginny is an easy going type, who has a wide circle of friends. Still Ginny” has her troubles — when she is frequently forced to coast home with a gas tank registering empty. With her congenial disposition, her present popularity and success will contin- ue. Senior Writeups 4, Football Dance 4; Basketball 1. JOHN EWING Class president for two years. He must have a great desire to be a crooner, as ever so often he bursts into song. Ask Miss Walker, she knows. (So does Mr. Jones!) Maybe we will hear him over the radio. See you in the Big League, Johnnie! Class President 1, 2; Gym Team 1; Football 2, 3, 4; Baseball 2, 3, 4; Hockey 2, 3, 4. OLIVE FISHER Olive has won recognition for herself in several varied fields. We are envious of her ability in the line of public speaking and dramatics. Fishie is always in a good humor and can take a joke. That ' s what we like about her. Senior Writeups 4; Dramatic Club 4; Public Speaking Contest 4. MARY FURLONG Mary is one of our bashful Janes. Her favorite saying is Don’t be silly. She is a carefree sort of per- son, and always has a cheerful smile for everyone. Have you no- ticed the curls? Best of luck, Mary! Gym Team 1; Basketball 4; Show Boat 4. PETER GESO Pete is of the str mg, silent type. He never talks but lets his actions talk for him. Pete is a good basketball player, and the only time he indulges in conversa- tion is to talk about the game. Basketball 4. MELVIN GOODEARL Melvin ' s interests hover about boats and tennis. He plays tennis like Bill Tilden, with a tricky serve and a swift back hand that keeps his partner running all over the court. Being the son of a singer, Melvin may be destined to become a second Caruso. Gym Team 2; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Tennis 4. CHARLES GOODSPEED Charlie is one of our best and most popular football players. That may be the reason for his great at- traction to the fair sex. We wonder who is going to be the luckv girl. Look out, Charlie, it ' s Leap Year! Football 3, 4; Track 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Gym Team 1; Bank Trustee 3, 4, Ring Committee 3; Class Prophecy 4, Show ' Boat 4. 23 VIVIAN GORANSSON Vivian has only been with us for one year, but in that time we have learned several nice things about her. She is on the honor roll, likes to sew, and we understand she has another interest — in a young man who sits near her in homeroom. VERNE GRAVES Verne is one of our silent part- ners — at least in class. He has proved his ability as an athlete through his performances on the Gym Team. Verne is a good worker, and should go a long way in this world. Gym Team 2, 3. GERALDINE GRAY Did I hear that Gerry was a regular customer of a 5th Avenue shop? Anyw’ay we can believe it. Although she is one of the quiet members of our class, she is always ready to lend her assistance when necessary. Orchestra 1. ROBERT GREENOUGH What will the cross country team do without its able track man? Bob, as we know him, is the strong silent type, and we have a slight sus- picion that he has an inclination toward being a student. We hear fishing is his favorite hobby. Football 1, 2; Rifle Club 3, 4; Cross Country 4; Track 4; Basket- ball 1, 2, 3, 4. Ol J ’ii fTj . 1 T A Wv 1 ,S« 1 ' ' 4 A FRIEDA HALL Frieda seems to be the spark that set the class on fire, and started us to wake up. Frieda has plenty of energy, and certainly helped us by using it. She is a good sport, good dancer, and has broken many a mas- culine heart. Big Hearted Herbert 3; Junior Prom 3; Football Dance 4, Year Book 3, 4; Wamfatuck 4; IV am pa- tuck Play 4. ROBERT HAMILTON Ham is always seen in shirt sleeves.

P. and a Ford to run around in. 34 Young Ambition’s Ladder Class Salutatory At this time of graduation, it seems especially appropriate to call to mind the subject of Ambition. Graduation from high school marks a great turning point in the life of the average student. Of course he must have decided, before this time, what his aim in life is to he; but now comes the actual break — the venture forth into unknown worlds of business, the professions, or further education. Old ties are broken in many instances, and new contacts must be made. In order to meet these new situations, the young man or woman must have one purpose toward which he is to strive. His goal may never be quite attained — many times it is just within grasp, only to rise out of reach once more, being further elevated by some new and unforeseen event. Life with all its disappointments and errors takes courage, hut there is always one main objective — although it may assume vague form in our minds — which spurs us on to discover what the future holds in store. The energy and initiative to undertake the task that confronts the high school graduate is developed to a high degree during his high school career. Of course, gram- mar school provides the fundamentals for this development, and the break made at the time of graduation from grammar school is just a preparation for the one to be made from high school four years later. When the members of this present class completed their elementary schooling, the motto at one of the schools was “Work and Win.” A speaker at the commencement exercises brought out the significance of that motto by explaining how very essential it is not only to have ambition, but also the perseverance to carry out that ambition. Purposeful effort is a necessary element of success in anv degree, and the individual who has one aim to work for and win, enjoys the labor it involves. The constant awareness of a definite goal serves to release vast stores of energy. It is absolutely necessary to every self-respecting man and woman to have some- thing to strive towards — something to make his life worthwhile. This particular aim — whatever it may be — is an incentive for life itself, for working from day to day, and week to week. Shakespeare once wrote, “’Tis a common proof, that lowliness is young ambi- tion’s ladder, whereto the climber-upward turns his face; but when he once attains the upmost round, he then unto the ladder turns his back, looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees by which he did ascend.” Graduation from grammar school is the end of the first rung in the ladder of suc- cess, a more or less dependent climb. Then comes the ascent in the secondary school, graduation from which terminates the second stage of our journey, in which we have gained more independence. Now, we are about to start on a new enterprise into un- known realms in which we will make use of all the knowledge we have acquired during those periods of outside dependence and partial self-dependence. This is to be the longest and most difficult one of all, and here is brought out the necessity of an ultimate goal or ambition. No matter whether or not we fully attain that goal, we will always have something to strive for; and however many years we live, we will al- ways maintain the enthusiasm of early youth if we keep our eyes turned upward to some particular star. 35 History of the Class of 1936 Phyllis ]Vhitlock Entering B. H. S. in September, 1932, with the idea in view of four happy years of work and play, the Class of 1936, as Freshmen, began its history-making career — as far as high school is concerned. 1932-33 being the first year of the two-session plan, it became the lot of the Frosh to spend the pleasant afternoons in school — and the cold mornings in bed! Incidentally, we had a Freshman football team, coached by Mr. Toolin, and consisting of many gridiron “stars-to-be,” such as Bill Erick- son, Jackie Muirhead, Joe D’Acci, Bob Briand, Phil Munroe, Frannie Mischler, Joe Venuti, Joe Shea, Johnnie Ewing, Ray Walker, Dom Basile and others. In June, the class officers and sponsor for the ensuing year were elected, and turned out to he the following: Johnnie Ewing, president; Craig Paul, vice-president; Dottie Bean, secretary; George Hagen, treasurer; Mr. Dysart, sponsor. The year was completed by the annual (our first) trip to Provincetown, as a class- day for the entire school. The first half of our Sophomore year was spent in comparative inactivity as far as the class as an organization was concerned. However, shortly after the Christmas holidays, we decided to practice what we had heard being preached — to have a Soph- omore Dance. The dance was held in February at the school, and was in charge of Craig Paul, Paul Jennings, Bud Corrigan, Bobbie Rock, Gert Mann, and A1 Ackerson, as commit- tee chairmen. Please note — contrary to common belief, this dance was both a social and a financial success! The second of our four high school years was also climaxed by the annual boat trip to Provincetown in June. Another election was held at the beginning of our third year at B. H. S., for the same purpose — to elect class officers and sponsor. The lucky (?) ones were Bill Erick- son, president; Ruthie Moulton, vice-president; Dottie Bean, secretary; George Hagen, treasurer; and Mr. Dysart, sponsor. The first objective for the year was the selection of a class ring. The committee was appointed, including Clara Drake, Betty Mera, Kitty Fuller, Joe Shea, Charlie Goodspeed, and Frannie Paradis. Before long, after several interviews with various 36 jewelers, they selected a snappy gold and onyx ring, and the first order was sent in by Mr. Dysart. Early the next spring, 1935, plans for the Junior Prom began to formulate. The committee was headed by Bob Briand as general chairman, and Les Parker in charge of decorations. The high-light of the season was held on Mav 31, and was it a colossal, gigantic, terrific, etc. success! The decorations, carried out in most intricate designs of pink (apple blossoms), green, and gold, which, incidentally, required loads of work on the part of the committee, came down so much more quickly than they went up that the hard-laboring decorators felt their hearts sink at the sight of so much on the floor which had formerly been anywhere but! The dance programs and refreshments were in blue and gold, the class colors. We were honored in having Mr. and Mrs. Jordan, Mr. and Mrs. Toolin, Mr. Dvsart, Ed Sullivan, and Bill Erickson in the receiving line at this gay and colorful affair. The whole point and purpose was to make the prom a true social success, regard- less of expense — and it certainlv was that! (We omit the financial part, which is the least of our worries.) June brought around our third annual Provincetown trip — which was enjoved, including the sea-sickness, bv all of us. And so in September, 1935, the Class of ' 36 rounded the last bend and started on the home stretch of its high school career. At the first class meeting, early in the fall, we reelected the officers of the previous year — an ambitious “gang,” the voracity of which is proven bv the accomplishments that follow. The first few months were italicized by that glorious sport, football. Big “Bull” Erickson again came to the front, as Captain of the Great Eleven, and King of the Forward Pass; Bob Briand showed his technique with the toe; and “Mun” barged around flattening out his opponents. Don’t be mistaken by thinking that the other eight “fellas” sat around and watched the procedure, for they all did their part. Another high spot of this exuberant season was marked by a Football Dance, with Frieda Hall directing “things,” at which all who attended had a “swell” time. Again spelling was omitted — whoopee!! and another class meeting was held. At this merry gathering, J. E. Purdy and Co. was decided upon as class photographer, and the Year Book idea received a unanimous vote of approval. It is the sincere hope of the Senior Class that it was not necessary for that photographer to invest in too many new cameras after this tremendous undertaking! As usual the Senior show, March 6, 1936, was well attended and the onlv com- plaint was the weight gained because of the mirthful spirit that prevailed. Red Brown, Bud Corrigan and Bob Briand made splendid substitutes for end men and the “Ballet Specialty” was a cross between Ziegfeld’s Follies and the Hasty Pudding Show. George Hagen’s rendition of the “Rhapsody In Blue” was nothing short of grand 37 and he was only one of many to prove that our class is not in need of fine talent. Need more be said? — except that the class found itself much wealthier after the show. Fred Holmes was proclaimed the “champ of Seniors in spelling when he won a “bee” among senior home-room spelling representatives. On March 25 Senior Graduation Honors were announced by Mr. Jordan, result — in Dottie Bean as Valedictorian, Ginny Cushing, Salutatorian, and the following in close follow-up positions: Irvin Hunter, Theodora Lytle, Frieda Hall, Connie McKim, Barbara Young, Emma Hyland, Agnes Dwyer, and Marge Wright, all with averages of over 90 percent. And now, so that this Year Book may go to press, something must be said of what’s coming! First, of course, will come Banquet, June 4, where the most important activity will be eating and having a good time in general. Outside of final exams, the next event will be Graduation, June 17, and the end of school, for most of us anyway, at B. H. S. Following this, the annual Class Day, June 18 and the grand finale in the form of a Reception for Seniors and guests, June 19 marks the parting of the ways for the Class of 1936. These affairs will all speak for themselves when the time comes. Sometime, for old time’s sake, in future years, we can refer to this history as a means of recalling memories of four pleasant and profitable vears at Braintree High School. Will of the Class of 1936 Donald Jordan We, the graduating class of Braintree High School, Braintree, Norfolk County, Massachusetts, United States, America, World, bei ng of sound mind, (we hope), hereby declare this to be our last will and testament, revoking all wills made by us at any previous time. So what? So let’s get started ! My, how we shall miss dear oF Brain- tree High, and of course, our ever patient sponsor, Jhnmy Dysart. To him we thought- fully bequeath one box of aspirin, to help alleviate the many headaches he has ac- cumulated during his four-year association with us. 38 To the Juniors we leave, gratefully, 167 old history books, and include G. Vinton Jones for good measure. To the Sophomores, the Seniors from East Braintree will those dilapidated buses in which we have been crawling to and from school for four long years. We sorrowfully bequeath to the little Freshmen the thrill of rising at 7:00 A.M. and toddling along to school while other folks are sleeping peacefully. Verne Graves has decided to don a smile, and leaves his “dead pan” to William Nelson. To Edgar Wynof, Paul Revere wills his horse. (It’s safer than a car). Well, Why- Not! Dottie Bean bequeaths some of her brains to Robert Tiews so that he’ll be able to graduate some day. To Muriel Mencke, Barbara Bowie gives her blond complexion. (We won’t know you, Muriel.) William “Red” Brown wills one test tube of sulphuric acid to any Junior who is crazy enough to use if for the same reason he uses it. “ Heartbreaker” Leo Hart leaves his aptitude for picking out “red heads” to John Ryan. Gaste Bendinelli gives his Spanish athletic ability in “tossing the bull” to Laiv- rence Healy. Bob Briand bequeaths one of his old football sweaters to Victor Sears. (Well Vic, you can wear it for graduation, anvway.) Bernadette Maguire leaves to Newton McKean a pair of old football shoes. (She knows that she’ll get them back some day.) Theodora Silverthorne Lytle has decided to leave behind one of her brief cases to Mabel Pratt. Walter Mattie wills a quart of milk (which he’ll never miss) to John Alves. George Hagen gives his ability to tickle the ivories to Frank Johnson. To Bill Morcom, Dave Chapman bequeaths his habit of bluffing his way through an argument when he has nothing to say that matters. To Donald Harrington, Herbert Eno wills his long expected tapeworm. David Drummond leaves his fondness for the ladies to Dominic Diaute (another great Romeo). Geraldine Gray gives her strong, deep voice to Horace Eno who can well use it! To Preston Wright, “Chubby” Hunter leaves his paper route. Prosperity is just around the corner. Edna Connolly bequeaths her sarcasm to Rita Brooks. To Virginia McCarty, Grace Campbell wills her “shin guards.” (She never used ’em anyhow.) Virginia Cushing leaves the “Flight of the Bumblebee” to anyone who will guar- antee to store it in some roomy attic! 39 Paul Jennings bequeaths to his kid brother, Edward, that old baseball cap (it must stay in the family). Mary McManus leaves a stale jelly doughnut to any good-looking Junior boy who feels as though he might like to get sick. Johnny Ewing, the bashful boy from Quincy, wills his favorite curl to Donald Smets. (It’s very cute, Smitty). Roy Phillips leaves nothing, the selfish thing (never mind, he’ll have plenty of time next vear). Doris Carter bequeaths her nurse’s outfit to Marion Eawrence. (Nursing’s all right, but you must be in at ten o’clock.) Bud Corrigan presents to the High School a large new bed to be put in the office for afternoon sessions (the mattress is made from the fuzz from the finest grade of Alberta peaches sold in the A. P. ) Verna Ellis turns over her position in the library to Isabelle Murphy. Margie Wright bequeaths to Shirley Thompson her calm, unruffled disposition. Phyllis Whitlock leaves a round-trip ticket to Prince Edward Island to anyone who would like to visit her. Babs Young wills 9743 cultivated freckles to anyone who is silly enough to want them. Charlie Goodspeed gives his enormous appetite to Bill Eamey. Leslie Parker presents a phonograph record on the subject, My Operation” to the school to be used at assembly. Bill McKean bequeaths ten rolls of adhesive tape to next year’s football team. Here’s hoping they don’t have as many accidents as 1935- Bull Erickson leaves his skill in tripping the light fantastic to Arthur Bentham. Dot Stewart wills her vivid imagination to Helen Wallace. Helen will be a great help on the W ampatuck staff. Miss Stecher. This will was duly witnessed by us, the undersigned, on the 19th day of June, 1936, A.D., in accordance with the laws governing the Commonwealth of Massachu- setts. Robert Corrigan Barbara Young 40 Prophecy of the Class of 1936 As I was listening to my favorite radio sta- tion W’BHS in the year 1946, I was both startled and enthusiastic when I heard the voice of my former classmate, Richard MacNamee, announc- ing. W’hat ' s that he ' s saying? A reunion for the Class of 1936 to be held at the Hotel Dysart? Oh, my, I must tell my friends; for they, too, be- longed to that class and we can go together. Upon arriving at the hotel, we were met bv Paul Revere, general doorman, and his two sub- generals, Charlie Powers and Johnnie Ewing. Fred Holmes, the bouncer-outer, informed us that the proprietor, none other than “Bull” Donald Jordan Erickson, had hired his unemployed classmates. Several bellhops ran our to take our baggage — in the persons of “Shrimp” Andrews, “Giant” Walker, and “Tiny” Bergman. “Dynamite” Frazier and “Timid” McDon- ough were our porters. On one side of the entrance corridor was a door on which was printed, in large gold letters. Red Odell — Manager, Herb Eno and Jack Muirhead — Assistant Managers. Being guests, we went to the desk to register, and who should greet us as clerk but Mr. Clyde Morrison. Bob Meanv and George Bean were equally busy registering other classmates whom we later met at the banquet. Opposite the registering desk was the Western Union office, where Margie Wright and her husband, Llovd Prario, were about to wire Mr. and Mrs. William Beck, the former “Lizzie” McKean, who were en-route to Europe. The attendants were Althea Armstrong and “Blondie” Olofson. At the cashier’s window, Gracie Campbell greeted us with her usual smile. Charlie Jones, the bar tender, told me that the bridal suite was occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Tony Hardy, the former “Gus” Chiasson. On the bulletin board there were numerous telegrams from other members of our class who were unable to attend. One of these was from Mr. and Mrs. Bill McKean, the former “Pat” Maguire; one was from Ruth Moulton, who is now connected with a wool firm in Argentina; and another from Edna Boutin, who is now living in France with her husband. Prince Addis Ababa, whom we knew as Fred Spiess. Also from this bulletin board we learned that Phyllis Whitlock and Louise Dolloff are members of the faculty in the Art Department at Vassar College, and found it impossible to come; and that Gerry Gray, Dot Carter, and Millie Maxham are all married and living in distant cities. Our interest was aroused by a loud commotion in back of us, and we turned just 41 in time to see Rov Phillips being thrown out the door by Phil Munroe, the house de- tective, and Red Brown, the assistant bouncer, for non-payment of his bill. Who’s this coming up to us? Why, if it isn’t Helen Olson and Bea Allen, the famous dancing team. By the way, Althea Adams is the librarian, and she is nobly assisted by Alice Neal and Barbara Bowie, the literary-minded of our class. We approached the elevator, only to be confronted by Mel Goodearl, who was about to take Dot Eklof, and Rita Cunniff to the third floor, to the bookkeepers’ offices, and Ruth White and Dot Turner to the fi fty-third floor lounge. While we were resting in our rooms, Milly Butler, the exchange operator, noti- fied us that several teacher friends, Irene Mattie, Mary McManus, and “Joe” Brown, were waiting in the lobby to chat about old times. ”Kid” Hunter, oil magnate, Clayton Stackhouse, builder, Paul Jennings, news- paperman, and Art Sullivan, wine salesman, were grouped in a corner discussing the never-ending depression. What’s this — a bridge game going on? Well, if it isn’t “Ham” Hamilton, the mad chemist, and June Matthews, playing opposite Helen Arnold and Craig Paul. 1 hear that thev are the country’s bridge and poker foursome. A little discussion over the Queen of Hearts is settled by Lawyer Tollie Davenport and A1 Ackerson, peace- maker. On the way to the beauty parlor we passed the flower shop, where Art Jacobs, together with his assistants, Les Parker and Mary McSharry, were busy waiting on customers. We saw Fran Conlon, the gardener, in the shop watering some plants. Upon leaving the florist shop, we were met by Louie D’Arigo, peanut salesman, and Joe D’Acci, World’s Bantam Weight Champ. On the second floor, we found the beauty parlor operated by Marion Collier. Dot Perrv, the manicurist, was busy doing Edna Levangie’s nails. Marion Leahy, the world’s worst hairdresser, was attempting to make Cora Crosby more beautiful. Alice Pendoley and Pearle Simonds were in one corner trying to regain their high school figures once again. Verna Ellis was demonstrating sun-tan treatments on Dot Miles. Opposite the beauty parlor was the barber shop, operated by Nicholas DelVecchio, and assisted by his old time pals, Peter Geso and Gaste Bendinelli, who were busy clipping on Fran Paradis’ red beard, and trimming Walter Srronach’s Harvard. W ' hen the time came to eat, we were received by Leona McDormand, the hostess. She told us that Olive Fisher and Emma Hyland had sailed for France on the S. S. Normandie. Leo Hart, the head waiter, escorted us to our seats. Helping him were a few more of our old classmates whom we knew as Irve Davis and Art Earney. Johnnie Young and “Kid” Wallace were also lending a hand. Mabel Coose and Dot Dibble were our waitresses. Sitting next to us was the chic Lima Spiess, a costume designer from Fifth Ave. With her was Izzy” Bodell, blues singer. Deb Marston, Braintree’s gift to society, and Ethel Brown, Ruth Diekmeyer, and petite Clara Drake, all chorus girls from Minsky’s Park Burlesque. As the strains of music reach our ears, we glanced toward the orchestra. “Wild” 42 Bob Briand, the poet, was directing, with George Axel Hagen at the piano. Bill Saxe, saxophonist. Herb Phillips, trumpeter, and Bob Greenough at the drums. The main features of the program were an interpretive dance by Gert Urquhart, a solo by Sue Blodgett, and an exhibition “hing-bong” song by Ginny Cushing. Before the first course was served, we were led in prayer bv the Rev. Winfield Adams. Our master of ceremonies was Bob Tonner, whose subject was ‘What Not To Teach Your Children.” (He should know, he has twelve of them!) At the completion of the banquet Frieda Hall addressed us on “The Futility of Studving.” This was followed by a vocal selection rendered in French by Miss Marjorie Wright, who was in our class but a few months — long enough to learn a French song. Before going to the entertainment hall, we found it necessary to investigate the hidden wonders of the kitchen from which the grand dinner had originated. The head dietitian, Connie McKim, accompanied by Agnes Larkin, showed us about. Her chefs were “Cookie” Martin and Connie Carlozzi. Stanley Parker, who ran the dish-wash- ing machine, and Charlie Goodspeed, the chief food-tester (weight — 190 pounds) were glad to see us. Mel Quinlin, the gas man, and Dave Drummond, electrician, were also there. A1 Holmes, a food salesman, told us of a little incident that happened last week. It seemed that “Heifer” Appley, the milk man, caught Ed Jones, the ice man, in the act of kissing Louise Wentworth, a kitchen assistant. He went mad with jealousy and socked Ed on the end of the chin! We were ushered into the entertainment hall by “Socky” Benson. Paul Noonan, the class romeo, and James Nickerson, another ladies’ man, were busy seating others. Milt Winchester, renowned movie actor, sat down beside us. Ginnv Estabrook, and Muriel Coyle, cigarette girls, passed us. Previous to the entertainment, we were verv much amused to hear that Dick Pillsbury was still courting Marion MacDonald; and that David Chapman and Walter Mattie, with their wives, Theodora Lytle and Edna Connolly, had become a famous comedy team, touring the world. We also learned that Dottie Bean is now editor of the “Woman’s Home Companion.” We were told that Barbara “Babs” Young won the cup and snow queen title at St. Moritz (back home); that “Kay” Cassidy is still trying to teach the girls in his new musical comedy, “Girls of ’46,” the right steps; that Priscilla Peirce has devel- oped an audible voice; that ’Cilia Arnold, Babs Haviland, and Barb Nissen have en- tered the Olympics, with “Toot” Mahar and “Sweetie” Ellis; that Dr. Verne Graves, the famous surgeon, had corrected an up-side-down stomach on Carolyn Sampson; that Dot Stuart and Vivian Goransson had opened a unique coffee shop; and that Bob Corrigan is now a general (mischief-maker?) in the United States Army. It was then time for the entertainment to begin. The program opened with Jim- mie Pope singing that new hit of the year, “The Music Goes Round and Round.” Jennie Caruso and Delores Tesolini then skilfully executed the rhumba for us; and to complete our enjoyable day of entertainment, Mary Eurlong, Kathrvn Tardif, Betty Rivoire, and Aggie Dwyer did a splendid specialty dance called the “Peacock Revue.” While gathering our things for our return trip, someone remarked that Phyl Cush- ing had at last become master of the art of skating backwards. 4 Senior Class Notes It seems inconceivable that the frightened group of frosh that entered B. H. S. four years ago have finally come to the last and gayest step of all, that of Seniors. Indeed, it is true that a great deal of work is connected with this year, but all that is more than offset bv the memorable activities that are crowded into every corner. The Year Book is the greatest achievement and hence the committees that tendered their services should top the list. They are as follows: Class Will Class Motto Barbara Young, Chairman Edna Boutin Robert Corrigan Irving Davis Class Song Doris Bean George Hagen hrginia Cushing Class Seal Phyllis Whitlock Theodora Lytle Louise Dolloff Class Prophecy Josephine Brown, Chairman Paul Jennings Irene Mattie William Brown Class History June Matthews Agnes Larkin Carolyn Sampson Lrieda Hall Senior Writeups Virginia Estabrook Craig Paul Robert Hamilton David Drummond Paul Jennings Olive Fisher June Matthews Elizabeth McKean Ruth Moulton William Erickson Alumni Committee Beatrice Allen, Chairman Leo Hart David Drummond Robert Briand Roy Phillips Priscilla Peirce Doris Bean Elizabeth McKean Leona McDormand Ruth Moulton The committees that will assist during graduation week are the following: Graduation Theodora Lytle, Chairman Marjorie Wright Robert Hamilton Irvin Hunter Winfield Adams Clayton Stackhouse Mildred Maxham 44 Banquet David Chapman, Chairman Constance McKim John Wallace Barbara Bowie Melvin Quinlin Marion Collier Irene Mattie Elizabeth Rivoire Mabel Coose Those chosen to direct Deborah Marston Josephine Chaisson Gertrude Urquhart Class Day Suzanne Blodgett, Chairman Paul Jennings Walter Mattie the grand finale are; Reception Robert Corrigan, Chairman Fred Spiess William McKean Clyde Morrison Geraldine Gray Marv McSharry Carl Benson Anthony Hardy Edward Jones Raymond Walker John Ewing Robert Tonner Althea Adams Doris Carter Last but not least are those given the pleasure of selecting the gift to be presented to the school.

Be Simply True Extract from Class Valedictory In the broad scope of our daily lives, we are too apt to overlook one of the basic elements of our human existence — being simply true, not necessarily for others to see, but to feel and know within ourselves. By being simply true we mean being sincere, genuine, without affectation, true to ourselves as well as to others. In this machine age, when fast-moving civilization never pauses to think about its fundamental moral foothold, we too are swept along in the flood tide, the swift current of this would-be progressive movement, forgetting everything but the mad rush of modern living. In our own country at the present time, however, we seem to have reached a crisis, when we must either take a step for the better, or toward a decline. Being voting and hopeful, with an optimistic outlook on life, we naturally can see a bright future for our countrv and ourselves. But we believe that there is a great need every- where for being simply true — for taking things at their face value. It is characteristic of human nature to try to make others believe what is not true about ourselves, often by assuming false airs or appearances, to make a favorable, al- though inaccurate, impression. Occasionally, because this practice becomes so com- mon, that particular person is convinced that this falsely adopted personality is ac- tually his own. Thus he is not true to anyone concerned. Shakespeare said, “To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to anv man. If any man is true to himself he will, from force of habit, if for no other reason, be true to others because he knows no other way. If he is true to himself he knows himself and can better understand his relation with others. For example, all the great leaders in every phase of our history could have suffered no illusions as to their own abilities and powers; for they, as such, had to know and understand how much they could do, how far they could go, and what they could accomplish in themselves, before they could correctly direct their followers. Probably the best-known and most popular illustration from American history is that of George Washington, for his brilliant leadership in the American Revolution. He found it necessary to avoid overestimating his own power in his own eyes, to dare to be true to himself first, so that, without any mistaken ideas, he might face the often bitter facts, that he might be true to his men in leading them. The expressions, “sterling qualities” or “sterling character,” are very common. To be spoken of in this way is to our minds one of the greatest tributes any one person can pay another; for sterling means genuine, and genuine means true. Emerson says that character is higher than intellect, and being simply true is one of the outstanding qualities of good character. 48 UNDERCLASSMEN Helen Meader Class of 1937 Russell Ackerson Ethan Allen Richard Allen John Alves Roland Arnold Francis Avakian J oseph Avitabile John Bates Arthur Bentham Quentin Berrio Roy Borden Lawrence Bowie Richard Branley Paul Braun Louis Bregoli Lloyd Buker Robert Burnham Ralph Butler Michael Califano Leslie Carpenter Walter Cavanagh Francis Christofi Charles Cummings Dominic Daiute Lloyd Dewar William Drinan William Earney Thomas Emmett Horace Eno William Farrington Edward FitzPatrick Charles Ford Albert Frazier Gordon Frey Howard Gavin John Gerrish Samuel Geso Frank Gustaferro Donald Harrington Thomas Hennebury Daniel Horner Philip Hough George Irving Ernest Janssen Frank Johnson Robert Johnson James Johnston Benjamin Joy Anthonv Kavelevsky John Kavelevsky Graham Keigan Albert Keith Joseph Kjellander Alfred Knight Douglas LaBree Peter Landry John Leahy Charles Lyons Clifford Magnuson Fred Martin Harold Martin Donald Maxham Newton McKean Howard Menadier Joseph Mischler Robert Mohan Richard Morcom William Morcom Charles Nelson Roy Nelson William Nelson Arthur Perry David Petterson Warren Pinkham Walter Poor Joseph Reardon John Rielly Albert Riley Francis Rinaldi Robert Roberts Frank Rogers John Rogers Samuel Rosanna John Ryan Victor Sears Gordon Shadrick Donald Smets Lewis Snow Fred.

' erv early in our second year we organized and elected the following class officers; Russell Ackerson, president; Frank Johnson, vice-president; Norma Hedlund, secretary; Joseph Avitabile, treasurer; and Mr. Kane, class sponsor. W ' e certainly did enter into things even though we put on nothing ourselves. Why, some of the best football and baseball players come from our class. As for Girl’s Hock- ey and Gym Exhibitions — we excel. Excel is the word, especially in “taking” another Provincetown trip which ended our Sophomore year. You’d be surprised how rocky those Provincetown boats can be — or do you know? Our Junior year started off with the election of new officers and the appointment of a Class Ring Committee. The present class officers are as follows: Albert Erazier, president; William Earney, vice-president; Joseph Avitabile, treasurer; and Norma Hedlund, secretary. The Ring Committee, Albert Frazier, Clarice Jackson, Marjorie Day, and Marion Enos, has selected a ring. We feel sure that you will all like it. The date of the Junior Prom has been set for May 15. The following committees have been appointed: Refreshments: L. Revnolds, C. Jackson, A. Kormann, R. Acker- son, J. Avitabile, F. Avakian; Decorations: M. Enos, J. Grant, H. Markley, N. Hed- lund, M. Drummey, E. Allen, J. Emmett, H. Eno, E. Fitzpatrick; Orchestra: M. Dunn, H. Walter, H. Wallace, E. Tenney; Tickets: A. Frazier, W. Cavanaugh, W. Farrington. Everyone thinks that we’re just another class — but — we have already voted for the publication of a 1937 Year Book and our photographer will be Purdy! We’ll show you! 52 Ode to Juniors Dorothy Stuart The hard facts of living are bruising your feet now, And the silver glory has gone from the road; You sigh as you carry your burden of troubles And your weary back’s aching for rest from the load. So life’s promised beauty has faded and vanished And carrying on is no more than a task; The starlight’s so distant and so hard to follow W hy is it we struggle? I’m hearing you ask. There’s a glory about you that soon vou may see For you’ve struggled hard and done it with grace; The moonlight of wisdom will soon shine to guide you For I see its first gleamings shine now on your face. 53 Class of 1938 Gordon AK ' es Alexander Avitabile Thomas Azzato Curtis Bacon Harrison Bailey William Bell Spencer Belyea David Benjamin August Bergman Frederick Bridgham Carl Brummett James Burke Orville Cahoon John Caramanica Anthony Carlozzi Lloyd Chandler Arsen Charles Henry Cincere Francis Clougherty James Collier Robert Connolly John Corcoran Edward Corey Richard Crawford Jack Curran John Diauto Robert Drollett John Dunne Carl Erickson Paul Foley Andrew Furlong Scott George Richard Gilbert Donald Gillespie Alexander Gillis James Gorman Frederick Hart Robert Hatch Richard Haviland Lawrence Healey Leo Hennebury John Henshaw ' Donald Hillier Robert Hyland Edward Jennings William Johnston William Keating Frederick Kehr John Kelley Embree Kormann Frank Lavina Robert Leahy George LeLarge John Levangie Timothy Linehan Michael Lorusso David MacKenzie Charles Mann Harold McPherson Lincoln Monaghan Bernard Murdock James Murphv Harold Neal William Newell James Nicholson Andrew Nickerson Charles Opferkuch Raymond Payne Fred Pendoley Robert Perkins Norman Pinola Robert Reader Francis Reddy William Reed Archie Roberts Darrell Roberts Norman Ross Austin Ruddy Walter Scheible Bernard Smith Norman Smith Wilbur Stone Roger Taylor Earl Thurlow Clyde Twitchell Richard Walsh Richard Wilken Preston Wright George Young Ralph Young Irma Adams Jennie Anastos Rita Andrews Marion Arnold Madeline Bate Edith Beck Nancy Benotti Rita Benson Rita Better Mary Biganzoli Elizabeth Britton Shirley Brock Dorothy Brodie Marjorie Brown Naomi Brown Dons Bucknam Marguerite Burke Mary G.

As Freshmen we were outstanding. We were the first in the history of the school to sponsor an op- eretta. On March 22, 1935, “The Sunbonnet Girl was presented, a production in which Helen Meader played the title role. Arsen Charles, Doris Rice, Phyllis Simon, Helen Snow and many others had character parts. Miss McCusker and Miss Summer- ville directed the production. Credit is due Elaine Gambino who won a prize for the best Freshman essay writ- ten during Book Week. As Sophomores the class got off to an excellent start by electing the following officers: Arsen Charles, president; Charles Mann, vice-president; Doris Rice, secretary; Frank Lavina, treasurer; Miss Walker, sponsor. The class held two meetings at which they decided to have a class dance. February 21 was selected as the date. Cards and tables were furnished for those who wanted to play bridge or whist. The Sophomore Class has been well represented in almost all school athletics. Many went out for Football and Pop” Gilbert received a letter. Goodhue, Mann, and many others went out for Cross Country. Some of the girls went out for Hockey. The class is well represented on the Gym Team. “Dixie” Le Yarn, John Diauto, and Charles Mann are among the many Sophomores on the team. Those who enjoy Basket- ball played from 1:15 to 5:00 o’clock. All this proves that there is a wide awake class in good old B. H. S. With Junior Prom, Senior Minstrel Show or Show Boat ahead, “just watch our smoke.” 56 Ode to Sophomores Dorothy Stuart The shadows of dreams are closing the portals That sever forever your childhood and you, And the hands of immortals are raising a curtain That brings to you slowly new vistas to view. There’s a road that is leading out into the starlight And the future’s faint whisper is sweet as you hear it. Know you now that this road is rutted and stony? No, you see it in glory so why should you fear it? Well, step boldly young traveler but heed where you’re stepping. Step lightly but quickly, be alert and remember The star that you follow, take solace in knowing W ' hen you’re weary or stumble, life’s testing your timber. 57 Class of 1939 Robert Adams William Albert Richard Allen Clement Avitabile Patsy Avitabile William Bates Henry Bierman John Boutin Francis Boyle Elmo Bregoli Blake Bryant Earl Buker John Christie Donald Clark Richard Cotter Joseph Cox Erancis Coyle Thomas Creswell Albert Crossman John Crowe Robert Cusick Carroll Daiute John DeCosta Joseph DeNeill Clido DiLillo Robert Dominick Sherman Drake Robert Drummey Channing Elliott Alfred Eno William Ewing Ernest Ealardeau Coleman Earrington Henry Ferguson Anthony Ferrante Frank Flint James Fontoni Jack Forsythe Arthur Fountain Robert Glover Oscar Goransson Paul Gordon John Grady Gordon Gray Secontino Graziano Richard Grey Francis Griffith Dwight Griggs Norman Gudmundsson Joseph Guiliano Robert Hall Warren Hall Howard Hamilton William Hepperle Howard Hicks Louis Howland John Hudson George Hunter Charles Innis James Johnson Thomas Johnson Warren Johnson William Johnson Richard Kelley William Kimberly James Kjellander Joseph LaCroix Everett Larmey Paul Leth Arthur Levangie Robert Mace Vito Manganello Robert Mattson Robert Maxwell Erancis McClellan Matthew McCusker Francis McDonough Earl McGlone Andrew McGuire George McKean Austin McLean Robert McSharry William Mitchell Ross Monaghan Richmond Morcom Henry Morgan William Morison Joseph Moschello Herbert Nickerson Francis O ' Brien Joseph O ' Connell Robert O ' Neil Robert Orrall John Perdikis William Perry Alfred Pratt William Rendle Joseph Rinaldi Guy Robbins Thomas Robinson Wilbur Roper Peter Rose Howard Shearer Edward Souza Eliot Spiess Edward St. Andre Ernest Steffen Daniel Sullivan John Sullivan James Taylor Richard Tonner William Townsend William Trainor Philip Vincent Robert Wadsworth Malcolm Walker James Welch William Wheeler Thomas Wilson Walter Worth Donald Wynot Dominic Zanghi Ruth Adams Caroline Albrecht Annette Altobelli Rosella Anderson Mary Bardetti Ethel Bates Eleanor Bean Josephine Bregoli Marjorie Briand Doris Bushman Doris Cahoon Elinor Cain Connie Califano Vera Cardarople Myrtie Carpenter Ann Chafe Mildred Chambers Phyllis Cocozella Eleanor Cody Elizabeth Crossman Margaret Crossman Vini Daigneault Eleanor DeCoste Angie DeGregorio Doris Delaney Ruth Delory Gail Donovan Elizabeth Farrell Virginia Farrell Evelyn Eerguson Virginia Eord Jeanne Fowler Dorothy Frazier Gloria Frost Helen Furlong Rose Gagne Louise Gauthier Arlene Gillis Eleanor Goodearl Mildred Goodrow Bertha Gould Helene Graves Dorothy Grey Cassee Griffin Agnes Hall Eleanor Hansen Gertrude Harrington Nancy Hastings Virginia Heal Doris Hedlund Astrid Henderson Helen Hibbett Helen Holmes Mary Holton Olive Hyland Catherine lannuzzi Dorothy Johnson Marion Keigan Phyllis Kilmain Charlotte Kimball Bernice Kusic Rita LaBree Frances Lamb Katherine Lane Marion Larkin Elsie Lavoie Dorothy Leet Dorothy LeGates Mary Leszkiewicz Beatrice LeVangie Josephine LeVangie Edna Lew ' is Barbara Lindsay Margaret Linehan Grace Luisi Dorothy Lyons Edythe MacLaughlin Nevart Mamelian Dorothy Mason Mary McCusker Mildred McMakin Hazel McRae Marjorie McSharry Mildred McVav Antoinette Merritt Barbara Moynihan Pearl Nash Mary Neil Helen Nilson Sigrid Ohrstrom Pauline Ott Ruth Papps Barbara Parker Doris Pendoley Phyllis Pratt Mae Preston Virginia Proverb Estella Remick Gladys Reynolds Althea Riley Louise Rivoire Lillian Roeblad Jeanette Rogers Alice Rook Doris Rook Mildred Rosewarne Marjorie Scanlon Marion Scudder Ruth Shedd Rosamond Sherman Ruth Simpson Harriet Small Dorothy Smith Elorence Smith Rita Smith Natalie Snow Doris Spence Eva Spera Virginia Staples Mary Stevenson Mary Tantillo Priscilla Thayer Esther Tibbetts Phyllis Traverse Leona V ' ayens Olive Waish Anne Watson Jean White Nettie Whitehouse Barbara Wilkinson Evelyn Williamson Hazel Wilson Barbara Woodbury Esther Zecchini 59 Frcslimen “Huzza! Hooray!” and “Viva la Frosh!” . . . The Freshman class certainly has been doing some “fast-stepping” for the student year ’35 and ’36. Few and far be- tween have been their moments of leisure. No doubt the greatest and most popular of the many activities was the per- formance of the two-act operetta “Rose of the Danube,” which took place on March 20, 1936. This was a very picturesque and glamorous achievement. Members of the cast were as follows: Ruth McLeod Papps, Eliot Spiess, Richard Grey, Blake Bryant, Barbara Wilkinson, Mary Holton, Robert Orrall, Robert Max- well, Arthur LeVangie, Antoinette Merritt, Jeanette Rogers, and last but far from least, George McKean. Much credit is due Miss Flint, Miss McCusker, and Miss Summerville, for doing an excellent job of coaching and directing. Mr. Jordan also added his contribution toward making it a success bv his clever arrangement of the scenery. The magazine drive turned out to be quite an event as it was last year. Mr. Perry’s home-room class carried away the laurels, if there were any to be carried, by selling thirty-eight subscriptions. Miss Doris Delaney of that room sold the largest number of individual subscriptions. The freshman football team was coached by “Ernie” Nelson. The valiant fresh- man lads tested out their skill in a gridiron clash with the upper-classmen, but were sadly defeated to the tune of 36-7. “Oh well.” On each Thursday morning the freshman boys and girls played basketball in the gymnasium under the supervision of Mr. Thwing and Miss Daughraty, respectively. Everyone enjoyed it. Upper-classmen, you had better “doff” your hats to the verdant freshmen for they certainly have kept you on your toes, so to speak, during the entire school term. Keep up the good work, Erosh! 60 Ode to Freshmen Dorothy Stuart There’s sunset in life when childhood’s bright sunshine Fades into the twilight of wisdom and grace; There’s a gradual turning when bright colors mellow And the beauty of song takes laughter’s light place. There’s a sadness of parting with laughter and freedom But an eagerness waiting for life to unfold; There’s a fear of the hidden that causes a shiver W’ith aspect of adventure that fosters the bold. Fear not, you but pass from the sunli ght to starlight. W ' ait for the north star and then let it guide you True as a promise on through the evening Till the moonlight of wisdom shall shine down beside you. 61 Alumni Class of 1901 Class of 1933 Blanche E.

Goodspeed Football With many letter men graduating last year, the power of the football team was greatly lessened. As far as wins and losses are concerned (2 wins, 6 losses and 1 tie) the season was not wholly successful; but Coach Kane, with an eye open to the future, was building up material for next year’s team. In glancing at the roster of the club, a long list of juniors and sophomores can be seen; so looking optimistically ahead we may expect good material for the teams in the future. Captain Bill Erickson led the way for the team as well as for that fad of broken noses. Bill proved to be a very versatile player, both in the backfield and in the line. On more than one occasion his hard running and bullet-like passes brought the cheer- ing crowd to its feet. We wish him the best of luck. Phil Munroe is of a quiet nature off the gridiron, but how he tore those oppon- ents’ lines apart! Mun was a great blocker, and at the end of the season he also dis- played some hard charges through the line from a backfield position. 64 Bob Briand held down the kicking honors, with many long punts to his credit. He was a hard tackier and played end on the defense. Bob also held a membership in the “broken nose fraternity.” Charlie Goodspeed came up from the ranks to become a first class center. He was considered one of the best centers on the South Shore. Charlie kept the rest of the team on their toes with his fiery talk from the pivot position. Leo Hart had the fighting spirit and endurance. Leo, chief aid to Bill, stood out all season as a powerhouse in the line, and was plugging all the time. Bill McKean was a defensive type of player. He was one of the greatest defensive halfbacks ever to play for Braintree High. Bill’s bow legs didn ' t seem to stop him from being a good ball carrier either. Fred Spiess plugged up a big hole in the line, and ploughed through the oppon- ents’ lines to pile up his share of tackles. Fred was also a good blocker. Bob Tonner gave the fans plenty of thrills with his speedy runs. Bob received valuable experience last season which helped him immensely this year, and kept the boys in high spirits with his good humor. Francis Paradis played his first season as a regular and showed he was worthy of a guard position. Perrv also showed ability in leading the interference. Lloyd Prario came to stardom late in the season and proved he was of first-class calibre as a back. Lloyd had power to spare in his running attack, and he was a smashing blocker. Joe D’Acci was the half pint of the team. He certainly could scoot around those ends. How Joe would smile when he bro ught down a runner twice his size! Walter Stronach served faithfully and showed great team spirit. Wally liked to play mischievous tricks, but he gained the liking of the members of the squad. Clyde Morrison was another of the half pints, and through his steady work he won his rating. Bud is small, but he made the grade. Ray Walker, a long, rangy end — Ray is only six feet three — showed great prom- ise, but had his athletic career cut short by blood poisoning. Bud Corrigan, another end on the injured list, received a broken collar bone in a practice session. This kept him out of action. Albie Frazier, that bone-crushing, hip-swinging, sawed-off package of dynamite made a big impression this year. We are looking forward to next year to see him carry on his great work. Cav Cavanagh, another junior sensation, showed great promise. After this year’s experience he should come back next year and be a real standout. Bob Johnson is bashful off the field, as are all heroes. Boh comes under the junior regime. We expect greater things from him next year. Dick Morcom weighed 125 pounds soaking wet, yet this little bundle of energy could knock down any 200 pounder along with the best of them. He is a hard tackier and will add strength to the team next year. Joe Mischler was right there to knock them stiff wfith his numerous crashes 65 through the line. He rushed right into the fight with his eyes open, hoping to come out better than second best. He usually did. Joe certainly had power. Charlie Nelson, brother of our last year’s quarterback, seems to be headed for the pass-flinging berth next year, judging from the exhibition he gave this past season. W ill Earnev was an end who had a way with the women, and for the information of any who may be interested, he’ll be back next year. Pop Gilbert, although only a sophomore, saw plenty of action and absorbed a lot of football knowledge. W’e expect to hear a great deal about Pop in the future. Indian Levangie was our other representative from the sophomore class. A prom- ising backfield man, he has that fight-to-the-finish attitude which should carry him far. Last, but by no means least, we come to our hard working (?) manager, Glummy Thayer. He certainly deserves any credit given to him for his dependable service to the team. Therefore we doff our hat to Alley Oop. To get back to the team as a whole and look at the season from a different angle, one can see that the boys lacked experience, but were developing slowly into a strong team which was only out-classed, bv any great margin, in one game. The fans and players will always remember the Needham and Canton games as the most thrilling of the season. The team had scoring power, failing, only once in a nine-game schedule, to carry the ball across the final marker. 66 I A. Daughraty (Coach ' ), L. Ellis, E. Taylor, L. Reynolds, B. Haviland, M.

Diekmeyer Field Hockey A more lively or agreeable team than Braintree High’s 1935 Field Hockey squad would be difhcult to round up. Cooperation and sportsmanship were noticed among the many other good points that the team possessed. Coached by Miss Daughraty and captained by Priscilla Arnold, only that kind of a group could be turned out. Priscilla played half-back like a wonder. Strong, accurate drives with her hockey stick brought encouragement many times in some of the close calls Braintree wit- nessed. Courtesy, ability and an unassuming manner make her prominent and well- liked in all sports. Althea Adams is what she was predicted to be — a star, and played an excellent game at half-back. Along with Althea, Grace Campbell can be classed as a marvelous half-back and a hard worker. For her first year out we marveled at the way she raced around the field forever doing the unbelievable. Estelle Taylor, a junior, also played half-back and put her best work into the game. The inners, Betty Cronin and Virginia McCarty, both are keen. hockey players. 67 In Bettv Cronin we find one of the liveliest, wittiest and among the most popular girls on the team. Everyone loves her funny remarks that pop up every so often. She is a perfect example of “When Irish Eyes are Smiling’’ and nine times out of ten, hers are. Ginny is small but plays a remarkable game of hockey, scoring with numerous goals that saved the game for Braintree more than once. Mary Drummey, a scorer, played exceptionally well. She is plucky, modest and a favorite on the squad. Clarice Jackson, “Clarie” to most of us, has been elected Captain for 1936. We extend our best wishes for a most successful year and congratulations on receiving the captaincy, “Clarie.’’ A live-wire personality like that of her shadow, Betty, is char- acteristic of Clarice. She played wing with skill and this is her second year out. “Toot” Mahar (occasionally Helen) played an extra fast game as a wing. She is trickv and quick as lightning which helped in keeping many of our worthy oppon- ents in their own territory. Mary D’Acci — like her brother — is a combination of strength and speed. Rating among the smaller girls on the team she plays a fine game of hockey. Beatrice Allen, it is safer to call her “Bea” or “Beatie,” is an ace on the team and plaved wing. Even though she took time out to hail someone in the group of specta- tors she was always ready to do exactly the correct thing when the team depended on her. To fill the position of full-back, we have Barbara Haviland and Marion Bailey with Norma Hedlund and Doris Warburton alternates. All the full-backs were good players and had an excellent opportunity to acquire skill through experience. Barbara Nissen, back from New Hampshire after an indefinite absence from Braintree, showed up well as goalie. She is a good sport, agreeable and willing. Ruth Diekmeyer and Louise Reynolds took turns at center and both are known to be hard workers. Alertness on the part of both, and efficiency also, counted as decided assets throughout the season. Shining again this year, Lorraine “Sweetie Ellis, a rough and ready player, donated a great deal of good hockey playing. Thanks, “Sweetie.” T appreciated everv hit of your hard work. Helen Meader, a sophomore, is expected to star in her junior and senior year as goalie, due to the experience she received this year. Laura O’Dell is destined, without fail, to be a star on a future team. She should he proud of the ability she displayed this year and will be a big help in the building of next year’s team. Frances Scott, we notice, will be a scorer if she keeps on the team. Arlene Field, an ex-member of the Hingham squad brought some of H. H. S.’s super-fine ability right up here to Braintree. She scored for Braintree and we would be proud to boast a few more ex-Hinghamers if they turn out as well as Arlene. Helen Arnold, manager of the team, handled svstematicalh the arrangement of the games, correspondence and many of the various duties of a manager. 68 I I I M. Walker, W. Adams, R. Wilkins, V ' .

Under the incomparable direction of our physical education instructors. Miss Alice Daughraty and Mr. Ellsworth Thwing, another first-rate gvm team was displayed to the public on April 17. The boys’ team consisted of eighteen members of which seven were back for either their second or third year. It was a well-balanced, all-round group with no one in particular outstanding. Irving Davis, a senior, continued his fine work on the rings and the parallel bars. Ethan Allen, a junior, with plenty of talent, showed us some of his superb work on the high bar and the parallel bars. 69 Walter Cavanagh revealed outstanding work in the tumbling line. Mann and Gillespie were prominent on ring work. The boys participated in gym meets this year. A meet with Holbrook brought Braintree out on top. In the two inter-class meets the sophomores rated first and the juniors close behind in second place. A meet with the M.I.T. Freshman resulted in very close competition. The Brain- tree team was cordially invited for a return match. Four of the Braintree gym reamers attended and took part in the New England A.A.U. This is an open meet for college and high school students. Irving Davis came out seventh in ring work. Ethan Allen came out third after displaying some excellent rope climbing. He completed a climb on a twenty-foot rope in seven seconds. This is only one-fifth of a second slower than the record of the two college men that took first and second places. Gillespie and Cavanagh were the other two Braintree competi- tors. Other meets were held with Springfield, M. I. T., New Bedford, Lynn, Needham and Roxhurv Arbeiter Turnverein. Robert Briand and Winfield Adams proved to be talented scarecrow dancers in our exhibition. The girls’ gym team showed a decided improvement this year. Talent from the Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes was abundant and interest was displayed by every girl on the team. The girls’ team specialized in marching, tumbling, drill work, apparatus, and dancing. Helen Mahar, a gvm teamer with perfect form and balance, was elected captain of the team. Ruth Moulton, star and winner of last year’s highest honors, helped many of her teamsters with her ever-ready advice and enthusiasm. Barbara Nissen’s work was certainly an asset to the team. Bea Allen is very cap- able in grasping the drill and dance routine quickly. Althea Adams who has been fond of all athletics turned out for the team again this year. Mabel Goose showed great interest in her first year on the team and her efforts were more than appreciated. In Priscilla Arnold and Barbara Haviland we find two all-round athletes. The tall girl at the end of the march is usually Barb and Priscilla can be found anywhere on the floor working hard. Clara Drake, or rather “Duckie,” a new and capable member of the team, showed a decided tendency toward being a star if she had more experience. We regret the fact that she wasn’t with us in previous years. The juniors had some talented girls to represent their class this year. Dot Hol- brook’s work on the mat and the apparatus placed her among the competitors for honors. Two girls who followed closely behind were Margie Schieble and Ruth Roeblad who certainly made an excellent tumbling team. 70 S. Lawrence (Coach ' ), A. Knight, C. Cummings, W. Erickson, R. Connolly, W. Earney, R. Hamilton, W. Wilder (Manager) C. Carlozzi, J. Ewing, C. Morrison, C. Paul (Captain),]. D’Acci, F. Rinaldi, T. Azzato Baseball The 1936 Baseball Team promises to be one of the best in years in view of the fact that eight returning veterans form a good nucleus for coach Sam Lawrence to build a team around. Coach Lawrence is optimistic over the chances of his squad and with any kind of breaks the team should win more than its share of games. This year’s nine is captained by Craig Paul, a hard slugging first sacker. His heavy hitting, along with his classy fielding, make him one of the best first basemen in the histor y of the school. Craig is a quiet, modest fellow but his actions speak for themselves. The veteran moundsmen include Bill Erickson, Will Earney and Connie Carlozzi. All these are right-handers and should go places this year. A1 Knight, a new member of the staff, looks good and should be one of the best. Bones Connolly, a sophomore and the onlv southpaw on the whole staff, looks promising. The catcher’s job is going to be a fight between the veteran Charlie Cummings, 71 and a newcomer Did Ryan. Both these boys have plenty of class and both wield a wicked willow. Johnny Ewing, Joe D’Acci, and Franny Rinaldi are the veteran intielders and with such a group Braintree should have one of the best infields on the South Shore. Buddy Morrison and Tommy Azzato are making their bid against these veterans and they will be hard to deny. The outfield fight looms as the problem of the team. Wally Stronach, Franny Christophi, Ham Hamilton, Paul Jennings and Bunny Arnold are the candidates who look good; but who will win out it is hard to say. All these men, along with one of the biggest squads in years, make things look good for Coach Lawrence and the team. The diamond prospects for Braintree seem to be better than ever.

S. track squad for the 1936 season looks like a formidable team. W ith such veterans back as Bob Tonner, Phil Munroe, Charlie Goodspeed, Jackie Muir- head, Bob Johnson, Fred Spiess, Bob Greenough, Graham Keigan, and Bill Beck past records should be broken. Wdth such an array of promising runners, it is no wonder if the team meets with success. Bob Tonner, one of the fastest men on the team, is outstanding in the dashes, broadjump, and relays. Phil Munroe treks in the longer runs and holds his own in the half mile and mile. Mun also heaves the shot put. Charlie Goodspeed is a steady runner and shows some class in the half mile and the mile. Jackie Muirhead is another speed merchant and displays his wares in the dashes, broadjump, and relays. 73 Bob Johnson goes in for the shorter distances, chiefly the quarter mile and relays. Bob also figures in the high jump. Fred Spiess uses his long legs to good advantage in his great exhibitions in the broad jump and high jump. Bob Greenough has developed into a great pacer with stamina. He stands out in the half mile and mile contests. Graham Keigan is a serious minded fellow and keeps right down to business, specializing in the quarter and half miles. Bill Beck stretches his legs and seemingly flies through the air. He shows ability in the quarter mile and relays. He also soars in the air in the high jump. At the time of writing the schedule is not complete, but the following will give you an idea as to how the completed schedule will look. May 7 Hingham Home May 13 Weymouth Away May 21 Walpole Away May 23 S. S. Interscholastics (Weymouth) Away May 26 Quincy Away Abington North Quincy At the end of the current season a beautiful trophy will be awarded to the most distinguished and outstanding contestant on the track team. The winner will be de- clared chiefly through points of sportsmanship, ability, earnestness, and superiority. This is a great incentive and joins in the purpose of lifting the morale of the team and building individual sportsmanship and clean play. Therefore at this time, whoever the winner shall be, we congratulate him. Susie Van Gemert 74 J. Alves, R. Taylor, D. Gillespie, A. Hardy, A. Chiesa (Coach ' ), T. Davenport, W. Beck, R.

Waish Cross Country The 1935 edition of the Braintree High Cross Country Team had one of the most successful seasons in its history, winning seven of its nine meets. The meet with Quincy at Braintree was lost by one point. The Braintree harriers did a creditable job in each and every race and are looking forward to even a better season in 1936. Coach Aldo Chiesa deserves much credit for fashioning one of the strongest teams on the South Shore during his first year as coach. The team was captained by Cliff Waite a quiet, conscientious and capable leader. Cliff, although only a junior, proved a fine leader, a fine runner, and a good sport. Bill Morcom was Coach Chiesa’s ace and he lowered the record on the home course, formerly held by Garry Baker, from 14 ' 23° to 13 ' 51°. Bill finished first in nearly every meet. His fine spirit, along with his ability as a runner, resulted in his being elected captain for 1936. Bob Greenough was another one of Coach Chiesa’s stars and was among the 75 leaders in every meet. Bob is a senior and has run his last race for Braintree. He will be missed next year. Other seniors who have completed their Cross Country careers and graduate in June are; Bill Beck, Tony Hardy, Tolly Davenport, Bob Meaney, and George Bean. All these men will be greatlv missed next fall. The junior class contributed its share of stars in the persons of: Cliff Waite, Bill Morcom, John Alves, Llovd Dewar, Jimmy Johnston, Larrv Healy and Ethan Allen. All have one more year of competition and should furnish plenty of worry to all oppo- sition. Last but not least, are the sophomores. They showed exceptional promise, and future B. H. S. Cross Country teams should be better than ever. Roger Taylor, Char- lie Opferkuch, Richie Walsh, Charlie Mann, and Alex Gillis will have two more sea- sons and, in this time. Cross Country should assume its place with other leading sports at Braintree High.

New England Conservatory of Music In these past few uncertain years, the question of choosing the institution of higher learning which shall best enable the student to continue those lines of study in which, during his high school career, he has displayed most aptitude, has, more than ever before, become a question of very great moment. W ith the changing of conditions, students have been forced to consider practical conditions as well as higher education in its more cultural aspects. For those of you who feel that your natural endowments peculiarly tit you to train yourselves in any one of the myriad branches of music, it is a necessity that you should enroll in a musical institution of proved standing — in the front ranks of which must be numbered the New England Conservatory of Music. In tune with the times, the student will find himself advised to develop his musical ability with today’s two goals always in mind — music as an art, and music as a profession. It cannot be denied that in the past decade the young musician’s prospects have brightened. W’hile, as always, those who achieve fame as great performers remain a handful, the amazing growth of music in schools has opened many new ways for teachers, and has caused the New England Conservatory to enlarge its School Music Department. Marked increase of public interest in better music has placed young musicians in positions in which possibilities of success are greater. In addition to a complete curriculum of subjects both in applied and theoretical music (arranged in courses leading to diploma or degrees) the New England Con- servatory of Music — by reason of a large and able faculty, and the extensive scope of its facilities — is able to offer students practical experience they would be able to obtain in but few other institutions. Today, modern educators are agreed that as a contribution to happy, enjoyable, creative living, nothing can quite take the place of music. Representative HORACE T.

General engineering courses are pursued during the Ereshman year; thus the student need not make a final decision as to the branch of Engineering in which he wishes to specialize until the begin- ning of the Sophomore year. Co-operative Plan The Co-operative Plan, which is available to the students in all courses, provides for a combination of practical industrial experience with classroom instruction. Under this plan the student is able to earn a portion of his school expenses as well as to form business contacts which prove valuable in later years.
