ODE TO THE CLASS OF 1937 Shirley Thompson Our high school days, oh days so fleet, Are passed, and we with sturdier feet IVIust face the world to sail life’s sea. Must smile away adversity. There rings a call, we can not sta} . For Youth must? Fate, her will obey. We leave thee now, but not for long, And with you always is our song — Where’er we are, whate’er we be. Dear Braintree High, we’ll think of thee. We know not what may lie ahead. But may God keep us as we tread Away from guiding hands, from you, Oh Varsity, and friends .so true; Through days when trouble shall arise, Through days when all is sunny skies. DRIFTING Mary Kjellaxdkr The sun l)arely touches the cool green shade, Where gliding swans are drifting With a grace that ' s heaven made. Breezes never mar the smooth still sheen, That reflects their glowing whiteness As they glide and cjuietly dream. ALBERT FRAZIER Class President — most popular l)oy. A very good football player and a wonderful speaker. His talks with Miss Walker in home room keep the elass in stitches. His oratory and his personality should make him a good politician. Good luck, Albie. Min.strel Show 3, 4; Football 1. 2, 3, 4; Hi Y President 3, 4; Class Seal 4; Basketball 2, 3; Track 4; Cla.ss President 3, 4. WILLIAM EARXEY Vice-president — tall, dark, and hand.some, that ' s Will. His brilliant pitching makes him the apple of Coach Lawrence’s eye, while his wonderful height is employed to the best advantage on the basket- ball court. Braintree High will miss him. Baseball 2, 3, 4; Football 1, 2, 3; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Vice-President 3, 4. XORMA HEDH’XD Norma is a very .studious girl and a most popular one. To Norma goes much of the credit for our successful Year Book. With her sunny disposition and cheery smile for everyone we hope to see Norma flying high.

He can talk his way out of anything, and shows his journalistic ability by repre- senting B. H. S. in the Quincy News. As our class treasurer he ' s always asking for something we haven ' t got !

He intends to go further in the line of chemistry when he gets out. Most likely we will have another Louis Pasteur. Good luck, Bud.

There is always a group around her locker any morning. She has a great habit of smiling. We are sure, Dorothy, that you’re going to make good in this big world of ours. Lots of luck! IRENE ALDRICH Irene always has seemed to be (piiet and demure. We are sure she is loads of fun, though. She likes basketball very much and sure knows how to play. How’s the boy-friend, Irene, or maybe we ought to know, huh ' . ' Class Gift 4. ETHAN ALLEN FJthan is the midget of B. H. S. But don’t let that worry you, Ethan. Napoleon was small too. But what wmdd the Gym Team do without you. We expect great things of you this year and we hope our team will be on top.

When you see Evie you ' re sure to see Jean Kormann. We hear that Evie {)refers the strong silent men of White Horse Beach to the “happy” heroes of Braintree. Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4. RICHARD ALLEN Dick Allen is the future air- plane pilot of B. H. S. He hopes to soar high in the air with the greatest of ease. We hope you live up to our expectations, Dick. Probably another Lindbergh. Good luck, Dick. Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Band, 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2; Track 1. .JOHN ALVES John . lves is the supersalesman of B. H. S. When there are any magazines subscriptions to be sold, give them to Johnny. He broke all records this year and will probablj- pass his salesmanship down to his younger brother.

ASTRID ANDERSON Astrid is another quigt member of our elass, and because of that we don’t know much about her. But with that cheery smile she’ll make a success of whatever .she undertakes. Have you heard her sing the “cute” Swedish .song? “Pirate’s Daughter” 2; Prize Speaking Contest 3; Glee Club 4. 14 ROLAND ARNOLD Bunny is another one of our tall, quiet, students. His main interest is centered on basketball, but he also has an eye for the “fairer” .sex. Bunny plays football and baseball for our alma mater and does it well. Baseball 3, 4; Football 1, 2, 4; Tennis 2; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; lee Hoekej’ 4. FRANCIS AVAKIAN Franny is one of our tall, dark, and handsome seniors. A good sport and our best tennis player. Sailing boats is his summer hobby, .substituting rifle club and basket- ball during the winter. Franny also has a weakness for “les petite femmes.” Tennis 2, 3, 4; RiHe Club 1, 2, 3, 4; “Pirate ' s Daughter” 2; Basket- ball 1, 2, 3, 4. MARION BAILEY Marion wants to be a nurse and we certainly wish her Iocs of luck. She should take her hocke 3 - stick along with her as she certainly uses it to advantage. Have j ' ou ever read an ' of Marion’s wonderful poems? Basketball 2; Field Hocke.v 2, 3, 4; Minstrel Show 4; Class Day 4. MARGARET BARRETT A wolf in lamb’s clothing, a bit of djmamite wrapped in silk, that’s Margaret. Whenever j’ou see a “quiet” little gal with curly hair, who, every now and then, laughs like nobody’s business, that’s she. Margaret’s a great kid. Class Gift 4. JOHN BATES Batesy is one of the smallest boys in the cla.ss, but during the four j ' ears he has been with us he has proven himself qu ite a ladies’ man. He also owns a car, riding in which is his favorite pastime. Rifle Club 1; Band 1, 2; “Pirate’s Daughter” 2; Dramatic Club 3; Gym Team 3, 4; Football 4. ARVILLA BELYEA We don’t often see Arvilla, but she is busy with her manj’, uh, intere.sts. Brown curlj ' hair and a smile what is a smile. Arvilla seems to like clothes — anyway they like her. She’ll make a sweet model — n’est-ce pas? Reception 4. ARTHUR BENTHAM Mr. Kane’s Ben joined us in his sophomore j ' ear. Ben can tell .you just, what’s what aLout almost evervthing and he makes a practice of doing it. Never mind Ben, we’re sure 3 ' our industrious abilit.v will assure 3 ' ou of success. Football 2; Tennis 4; Minstrel Show 4; Rifle Club 4; Reception 4. QUENTIN BERRIO If 3 ' ou don ' t know who the fellow with the broad grin is, just take a guess that it’s Quentin. His genial attitude has won him manv friends. Keep it, (Quentin, and jmu ' ll .succeed even in the career of doctoring l)i cycles. Basketball 1; Hi Y 2; a.vipa- TfCK 4. MARGARET BLANCHARD Margy and a smile. That’s how we’ve always known her, and we hope we alwa.ys will. Margaret is (piite a speaker — she proved this in the Public Speaking contest. . low voice, smiles and curly hair — doesn’t everyone know her? Basketball 1, 2; Prize Speaking Contest 3; Dramatic Club 3. EDWARD BONNER Ed has onl ' been with us one year, to our misfortune, but he has proven him.self a valuable athlete in l)a.seball and footb ' all. . lready he has a host of friends who find him dependable, an asset he ma.v well be proud of. Basketball 4; Baseball 4. ROY BORDEN Roj ' , the man about town, is one of the brightl.y shining stars of the grid-iron. Along with his fine work with the pigskin, he’s kept up his studies. Hapin ' -go- liick ’, with a howdy for all. Happy days ahead, Ro.v! Football 1, 3, 4; Wampatuck. Pla.v 3; “Pirate’s Daughter 2; CK ' in Team 4; Track 4; Basketball 1, 3, 4; Minstrel Show 4; Ban- quet 4. LOUISE BOSTOCK Loui.se is very popular with her blonde hair and sunnv smile — a ver - good addition to our class. I’d say! It certainly would take many fingers to count Louise’s friends. And where did she get that complexion — is it Lux? “Pirate’s Daughter” 2. 15 PAUL BRAUN Although Paul is one of the little fellows of the class, he has proved himself a corking athlete, l)eing one of “Watsie Vinton’s All- Stars. Keep up that chin and you’ll get a long way, Paul, what with all your friends. Football 1, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4. RITA BROOKS Here’s a girl for dimples! Pita ' s favorite subjects are History and Sewing — right ' f Rita is one of our East Braintree-ites and her friends are many — especially the opposite sex. A cute person and a cute dresser is Rita. Basketball 1, 2, 4; Class Gift 4. LLOYD BUKER Lloyd is one of that (piiet kind, whom you might not suspect of being a good student until report cards come out! . lways at home- room early, finishing homework. How many more of us should be there with him, working! Baseball 3, 4; Basketball 1. ROBERT BURNHAM So quiet that we hardly realized he had left us for a while until he pojjped up in our Senior year! A good student, who doesn ' t give his teachers headaches like some people we know! Keep up the good work. Bob! SHIRLEY BUTLER Shirley always knows the answers in History. She ' s very sweet .so they say — who are they ' ? Whj all her friends and there are lots of them. Shirley is an as.set to our cla.ss and we could hardly do without her. EVELYN BYAM Ev 3 ’ seems rather quiet around school but her friends ' claim we don ' t know her. You ' re not afraid of us, are you Evelyn ' f She has the nicest smile (in case j ' ou haven ' t nociced) and that means a lot in this world. Basketball 1; Class Day 4. IRENE CALL “How’s the weather up there, Irene?’’ No hard feelings now because there is just that many more inches of j-our cheerfulness for us to enjoy. Anyone as opti- mistic as 3 ’ou seem to be should find life quite plea.sant. Success, alwa3 s. KATHERINE CALLANAN Katv is the studious 3 ’oung lad 3 ' with such prett 3 ' blond tresses (and it’s natural, too). She is one of the few who never forgets to do her homework. With 3 -our abilit 3 ' , Kat 3 ’, we know 3 ' ou will succeed. Best of luck. Cla.ss Gift 4. LESLIE CARPENTER Ah! One of that curl 3 ’-haired, smooth-dancer type! We can’t see how he could stand the winter without the pleasures of the Satur- da 3 ’ Night Basketball Dances, or the femmes who attend such! . 11 in all, he is some keed! • Baseball 3, 4; G 3 ' m Team 2, 3; Track 4; Class Basketball 2, 3, 4; Hocke3 ‘2, 4. WALTER CAVANAGH Cav is the boy who “should be plaving football at college next 3 -ear,’’ (to quote). He’s one of tho.se not-too-tall, dark, and hand- somes for which B. H. S. is fa- mous)?). Sometimes seen walking to the bus with Rub 3 -. Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Track 2, 4; Hockey 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; G 3 ’m Team 3, 4; Minstrel Show 4; Banquet 4. HELEN CHAMBERS Are you planning on making English vour career, Helen? Other- wise a very shy 3 -oung lad 3 q she certainl 3 ’ shines in Mi.ss Stecher’s Flnglish class. If you do as well in other things that 3 ’ou undertake, good fortune will sureK reward you. Banquet 4. PHYLLIS CHAMBERS Phyllis, unlike her sister Helen, is fuli of “it” hence the nick name. Giggles. She is living up to the say- ing, “Laugh and the world laughs with 3 ' ou,” and doing a swell job of it, too. Keep on smiling. Giggles. Basketball 1, 2. 16 FRANCIS CHRISTOFI Hoofer is another of our football heroes. We hear the town is about to sue him for wearing out the road to Ea.st Braintree. How’s about it, Hoofer’? Well, anyway, I guess she’s worth travelling that far for, eh, wot? Football 1, 4; Ba.seball 2, 3; Track 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3. 4; Cross Country 2, 3; Banquet 4. ELSIE COSTAXTIXO A South Braintree MLss, very petite and dark, whom we don’t hear much about. Elsie is too quiet and shy excej)! when among her most intimate friends. She is always ready to laugh and add more to a joke. Basketball 1, 2, 3. MARY CROXIX A 3 ’oung lady better known as Bettv. Where j ' ou hear a giggle or “goings on’’ look in the center of the group and j’ou’ll find Betty. She takes .your mone.v when you want to cat the cafeteria’s food. Hocke.v 2, 3, 4; Gvm Team 2, 3; Basketball 1, 2, 3; Minstrel Show 4; Graduation 4. CHARLES CUMMINGS Good .sport, good natured, good looking, good athlete, and an all- around regular gujq that’s Duke. Brilliant hockey, football and base- ball player. Hobbj is canoeing on moonlight nights. Girls envy his low blush and brown eyes. Best of luck to J ' OU, Charlie. Baseball 2, 3, 4; Football 1, 2, 4; Hockey 4; Basketball 1, 2, 4; Minstrel Show 4; Class Gift 4. RUTH CURRIE Ruth came to us in her sophomore year. She is very quiet and all we can find out is that she plans to become a teacher. We wish j’ou the be.st of luck, Ruth, and hope you make ’em mind. MARY D’ACCI D’Acci, as she’s called, is an all- around girl. Especiall} ' popular in sports. Any time, any place, Mary is ready. All the girls envy her curly black locks, right girls? She always has a smile for anj ' one. Good luck, kid! Hockey 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 4; Gym Team 2, 3: Dramatic Club 1. MAR.JORY DAY Margie is a happj ' -go-luckj ' sort of individual who will alwaj’s be found readv to giggle, especiallj ' if it’s serious. Our own present B. H. bovs get slighted for an alumnus. Are j’ou still serious about being a nurse? Dramatic Club 1; Gym Team 2; “Pirate’s Daughter’’ 2; Basketball 1, 2; Ring Committee 3; Track 3; Seal Committee 4; Orchestra 1, 2; Minstrel Show 4. ELEANOR DE COSTA Small, dark, and very vivacious, that’s Eleanor. She’s a grand kid and a swell sport. When she is graduated from the honorable B. H. S. I’m sure, in fact, emphatically sure she will go far — even if she has to go on horseback. IDA DEL PICO A dark, attractive Senior. Quiet but well-known. Alwaj ' s has a lot of studving. She doesn’t mingle outside her own crowd — in which she is popular. She’s going to make some executive a grand secretarj-. Good luck, Ida. Hockey 1; Basketball 1 ; Track 3; Reception 4. LLOYD DEWAR Lloyd, a faithful and efficient Cross Country runner. His snappv dress and pleasing personality make him well-liked bj ' all. He has per- fect control over his coal black hair but he can’t control the crimson blush so pleasing to the fair sex. Football 1; Basketball 1, 2; Cross Country 3. 4; Track 3, 4; Wampatuck. 4; Class History 4; Minstrel Show 4. HAYDEE DIBBLE A wow at sports! Our athletic Senior. A grand sport and a corking sense of humor. We’re going to miss seeing that “Colgate” smile. .Anyhow, Haydce, we wish you oodles of luck in whatever j ' ou choose as your career. Basketball 1, 2, 3; Hockey 2; Class Day 4; Minstrel Show 4. ALICE DIOTTE Gee, this class is full of quiet girls — one more added to the list. .Alice is a grand sport and friendly. If Fm not mistaken she’s going secretarial in a big way. May health, wealth, and happiness come j ' our way. Basketball 1 ; Class Daj ' 4. 17 DOROTHY DONALDSON A crackerjack basketball player and an alert, fair referee. She is a brilliant student and always volunteers for Mr. Jones. Another sirl gone secretarial too. Good luck, Dot, and remember your pals at Braintree High ' 37 wherever you may be. Basketball 2, 3, 4; Track Team 3, 4; MARY DONOYAN Quiet little Mary, but always on hand when needed. Wonder what Winona would do without her. ' I ' he pair are as inseparable pals as B. H. S. has seen, ilarj ' s name is usually seen on the Honor Roll no matter what happens to others. Basketball 1; W. .vip. tuck 4; Year Book 4; Class Prophecy 4. WILLIAM DRINAN Easy going, carefree, and a snappy dresser. Bill is small but ' effective. His rapid speech knocks you off your feet. He likes the girls, and how! Learned to bustle about behind a counter. Football. 4 MARY DRUMMEY Introducing our all-star hockey player and can she i)lay hockey! Mary is very fond of athletics and I hear she ' d rather play basketball than eat. The hockey team will miss Mary next year, but we know she ' ll be a successful teacher. Field Hockey 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 4; Gym ' I ' eam 2, 3, 4; Junior Prom 3; Wampatuck. 4; Orchestra 1 ; Track 3. MARY DUNNE Here is another of our athletes. My, what will Miss Daughraty do next year! Mary is one of our happy-go-lucky students and never seems to have a care. Wherever she goes we know she ' ll be a huge success. Band 2, 3; Basketball 1, 2, 4; Junior Prom 3; Track 3. THOMAS EMMETT Skunk, as his better friends call him, is one of the retiring members of our Senior class. Skunk prefers working in a gas station to attending social activities, and maybe he ' s right. Anyway he ' s always there with a cheerful greeting. Good luck. Basketball 1, 2 , 3; Football 1; Track 4. HORACE ENO Sometime in the near future we are going to find Horace President of the First National Bank. He has shown himself verj- energetic as Mr. Strangford ' s assistant. Hor- ace proves his promptness, arriving daily at one minute before eight. Gym team 2; “Pirates Daughter” 2; Hi Y Club 4; Orchestra 2 , 3; Minstrel Show 4, Band 2, 3; Wampatuck. Play 3; Class Gift 4. MARION ENOS Marion is that tall, well dressed j’oung lady whom 3 ' ou see walking down the corridors surrounded bj ' fellows. Marion deserves a big hand because she dares to be differ- ent, thus being the envy of many of her class mates. “Pirate ' s Daughter” 2; Dramatic Club 3; Wampatuck 3, 4; Year Book 3, 4; Ring Committee 3; Junior Prom Committee 3; Min- .strel Show 4; Class Seal 4; Class Will 4. WILLIAM FARRINGTON One of the tallest boj-s in the class. William ' s name is very often seen on the Honor RolL He is jather qiiiet so nobody knows much about his ambitions. He .should be a success in college and in later life. “Pirate ' s Daughter” 2; Wam- p. TUCK 4; Year Book 4; Class Song Committee 4: Minstrel Show 4; Prom Committee 3. HELEN FERGUSON One of those girls whose hair speaks for herself. She is a verj- accomplished horse-back rider as might be expected. Her con- tagious smile has captivated many a shy fellow who poses to ba an ardent woman-hater. Minstrel Show 4. ANNIE FERRANTE Short, dark-haired, snapping brown eyes describes Annie. If vou ' re in the habit of reading the Honor Roll, that ' s probably where j’ou heard of Annie before. With her scholastic abilitj ' and ambitious nature, Annie ought to go places. Basketball 1, 2, 4; Orchestra 1. ARLENE FIELD Arlene, who hails from Hingham, is that brown haired, blue-ej’ed j ' oung ladj ' who is usually laughing about something between everj- period. She has been rather auiet this year, however. We wonder if it is because of her outside interest. Hockey 1, 2; Basketball 3; Dramatic Club 3; G m Team 3; Graduation 4. 18 EDWARD FITZPATRICK Xed is one of our fun-loving classmates, but always seems to get his home work done. Keeps the “trig” class in good humor with his funny (jnestions and answers. A person with his ambition and personality should go far. Graduation 4. PHYLLIS FLANDERS Phyllis is very (piiet and just came to us this year so we don ' t know much about her. Ncverthele.ss. she attracts attention without talk- ing. Her peaches and cream coni- plexion and blonde hair plus her pleasing personality are (piite a combination. CHARLES F( )RD Ford.sy is one of those boisterous fellows who gets good fun out of a joke. He is the life of F bus. His pet hobby is working in the East Braintree A P. Who knows, maybe someday he will be Presi- dent of the Chain. Basketball 1. FRANCES FRAZIER We all wish we could have Frannie ' s dimples and twinkling smile. Blushing isn ' t a lost art with Frannie as we found out when a certain teacher wondered out loud as to the identity of the ini- tials on Frannie’s j)ocketbook. GEOIUiE FRAZIER Here ' s a very quiet East Bran- treeite or .so he ai)pears to us. But you never can tell with the.se people. George might be called a strong silent man — perhai).s that is what appeals to the girls. G{)od luck to you, George. Gym Team 3; Baseball 4. GORDON FREY Gar is one of the most jiopular boys in the class. He has shown his excellence as a football and basketball player. He also has a very convincing and persuasive “line.” With the Morcom twins he forms a formidable trio. Football 3, 4; Basketball 1, ‘2, 3, 4; Gym Team 2, 3; Track 4; Hi ' i ' 4; Banquet 4. LEONORE GAGNE Lee is that tall, dark, good-look- ing girl you’ve seen arriving every morning in the company of her .sister. We wonder if a tall, curly- haired person has anything to do with the dreamy expression Lee has at times. ANNABELLE GARLAND Annabclle is that red-head who so often has candy in all her classes. Interested in sports she is well-known as one of our star hockey players. She shines on the Gym Team too. Loads of luck in the future, Annabclle. (iym Team 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Field Hockey 2; Baiuiuet 4. HOWARD GAYIN Howie is one of those who are not unemi)loyed, his jjaper route keeping him busy. He also has the knack of condensing home- work into the homeroom period. Either he or his pal, Healey, is always ready to tell a funny story. Track 3, 4; Football 1; Basket- ball 1, 2; Class Day 4. SAMUEL GESO Sam, like his older brother Peter, is very quiet except in his own circle of friends. One thing we have found out about him, though, is that he is very studious, as he is always poring over his books before school. Basketball 1; Dramatic Club 3. •JEAN GRANT .Jean’s infectious giggle is always heard in our corridors. She is the girl who has given the teachers their gray hairs by her pranks. We hear the town of Avon holds a special attraction for .Jeanie. W onder who he is’? Ciym Team 2, 3; Basketball 1, 2, 3; .Junior Prom 3; Dramatic Club 1. BARBARA GRIEYE Barbara is that very quiet, bashful girl whom one never hears in class. Mr. .Jones’ hobby is to make her overco me her bashful- ness.

Therefore it seems quite fitting and proper that some tribute should be paid its founder at this time of our completion of those funda- mental principles which he held essential for a true preparation of American youth for higher education. Horace Mann, often called the father of American education, was born in P ' ranklin, Massachusetts, on May 4, 1796. He began his political career at the age of thirty-one, serving in the Massachusetts House of Representatives, and nine years later becoming President of the State Senate. During this decade there was a growing agitation for better schools, and in 1837 Massachusetts created a State Board of Education. One hundred years ago next July, Mann gave up a promising law and political career to become its secretary, a decision which was to be a turning point not only in his life, but in the history of American eduaction as well. When Mann resigned as Secretary of the Board of Education, eleven years later, he had seen many improvements in the public school system of the United States. After spending five more years in Congress, he became President of Antioch C ' ollege. Seven years later, on August 2, 1859, Horace Mann passed away, a glorious winner of victories for humanity. 28 When Horace Mann accepted the position of Secretary of the State Board of Education, he wrote a friend, “iMy law liooks are for sale. IMy office is to let. The bar is no longer my forum. I have abandoned jurisprudence and betaken myself to the larger sphere of mind and morals.” Mr. Mann’s first effort in his new position was to educate public opinion with reference to the methods and purposes of public education. The growth of the district school systems and the extension of private schools had greatly weakened the efficiency and influence of the pul)lic schools. To arouse sentiment in favor of public educational progress, Mann called several public meetings, through which he literally stirred the thoughts and feelings of the entire state. These meetings made possible subsequent legislation which led to the re-estab- lishment of a common school sy.stem in Massachusetts. His next important reform was the improvement of the teaching forces of the state, and this he accomplished by the organization of teachers’ institutions and the establishment of state normal schools. Another important feature of Mr. IMann’s labors was the collection and distribution of information concerning the actual condition of public education, flis twelve reports on the state of education in Massachusetts and elsewhere, together with his discussions of the aims, purposes, and means of education occupy a commanding place in the hi.story of American education. One of these reports deals with the construction and hygiene of schools — ventilation, heating, and playground.s — and the physical factors in school life; the duties and responsibilities of school committees; the enforcement of school attendance laws; and the need of higher standards in the teaching force. Another report is devoted largely to the course of study and to a discussion and criticism of the current methods of teaching reading, spelling, and composition. For example, Mr. IMann was strongly opposed to the alphabetic method of teaching reading, and he warmly endorsed the word method. Other subjects emphasized in these reports were: the importance of school libraries, the utility of local and county educational associations; the value of music in the elementary schools; the u.se of the Bible in schools; the place of moral instruction in puldic education; the dangers of emplojdng young children in factories; the relationship of education and crime; the employment of women teachers in the primary schools; and education for defective and dependent children. It was clear to Horace IMann that if a nation is to have great men, it must have a great and noble people to inspire and support them. Every boy and girl must be awakened to the worth of himself, must be led to a.ssume responsibility, and must be trained in purpose, taste, and skill vintil he can stand alone, asking no special favors or privileges. Through the common school — given new life by Horace Mann’s leadership — this has been made possible for the young men and women of today. Now, the American school is rising to meet the needs of a new day. The growth of the educational enterprise is strikingly shown in the expansion of the high school from an enrolment of about 200,000 in 1890 to about seven million in 1936. The foundation of this great cultural enterprise was laid by Horace Mann. 29 The plaid sliirts of Donald “Shirts” (’lark have l)econie so famous, or notorious that, when anyone wants a shirt for a gypsy eostunie or a minstrel show costume he knows where to go. . . .

It was the Class of ’37 which was des- tined to make history in this schoool. First came the call for the Freshman foot- ball team under the din ' ction of ( ' oach Toolin. Among those who reported to play were Rob Johnson, Dick Alorcom, Albie Frazier, Joe Mischler and the captain of the ’36 team, Wallie Cavanagh. All of these boys played well on the varsity during their remaining high school years. This was the only activity the Freshmen l)articipated in during the first year. During the early part of the Sophomore year came the call for the Cross Country lunners. Among the new runners who came were Cliff Waite, captain of the ’35 team, and Bill Morcoin, captain of the team for the year ’36. The same year the girls’ hocke} ' team was lucky to obtain the .services of Mary Drummey and Mary D’Acci. Both of the.se girls turned out to be stars in later years. The fir.st meeting of the Class of 1937 was held in the auditorium on April 12, 1935. At this meeting the names of the newly elected officers were announced ; President — Russell Ackerson; ’ice-president — Frank Johnson; Secretary — Norma Hedlund; Treasurer — Joseph Avitabile; Sponsor — Walter J. Kane. Our high school activities n ' ally commenced in our third year at B. II. S. We began by electing the following officers: President, Albie Frazier; Vice- president, Will Earney; Secretary, Norma Iledlund; Treasurer, Joe Avitabile; Spon.sor, Mr. Kane. Next came the difficult task of .selecting the cla.ss ring. The committee chosen was: M. Enos, C. Jack.son, M. Day, A. Frazier and R. Morcom. We .should say at this time that they used very good taste in selecting an attractive gold and onyx design. At our early spring meeting we decided to start the ball rolling toward a successful Senior yeai- by voting to have a 1937 Year Book and also to have Purdy’s as the cla.s.s photographer (provided Purdy would consent to take the risk). Also at this meeting committees were appointed for the Junior Prom, May 15. At last THE day rolled around. The decoration committee toiled long and hard, but their effort was not in vain because all who attended were awe stricken at the elaborately and cleverly decorated Clym. The decorations were carried out in all the shades of blue with dabs of silver and white here and there. No doubt every one will agree that this gala occasion was a great success 31 not only socially but financially and that’s more than most of the former classes can say as far as financial success oes. And at this time we wish to take the op- portunity to thank the one person who did eveiything; within his power to make our Junior Prom a howling success — hats off to our sponsor, Coach Walter J. “Sugar” Kane. We very wisely decided to avoid topping off our Junior year with a smatter- ing of sea sickness by selecting C ' anobie Lake via bus rather than Provincetown, via boat, plus rough sea, for our C’lass Day. As far as success goes, financially, we always seem to have our nose right there. But not only was this class day a success in terms of money, but in any terms that you wish to use. Thus ended our Junior Year in dear old B. H. S. Jiefore long the Cla.ss of ’37 found itself confronted with the joyous, yet somehow sad, last year of High School days. At our first meeting in September, 1936 the officers that had served during the past year were reelected. Once again we were reminded of the fact that we had voted to have a Ye. r Book and also had engaged J. E. Purd} ' as the photographer. At our ne.xt meeting it was unanimously voted that a Minstrel Show be presented on February 19, and on that night the doors of our school opened to admit a record crowd such as never before has been inside the portals of B. H. S. No matter what may be said otherwise (and we claim that it was a success) no one can deny that it wasn’t at least a stupendous financial success, as usual. The annual magazine drive was a huge success and the Senior Class came out on top, thanks to Bob Alves and his super-super-salesmanship. On March 15, Mr. Jordan announced Senior Honors, with Russell Ackerson and Irene Aldrich heading the list. Although the Year Book goes to press at this point we can briefly mention the many exciting events that are to come to top off our four years at B. H. S’ On June 2 some students will observe “Fast Day” in preparation for our Banquet on June 3, and in order that in future years j ' ou may more ably recall this delicious, delightful, and de-luxe affair we herewith put down in writing the menu. Fruit C’ocktail Roast Stuffed Turkey CJiblet Gravy Mashed Potato Green Beans Cranberry Jelly Olives Celery ( ' abbage-Pineai ple Salad Corn Fritters — Alaple Sauce Rolls Coffee Frozen Pudiling Orange Sherbet Yanilla Pistachio Roll Assorted Cakes Macaroons Then comes that joyous yet sad occasion. Graduation, on June 23, followed by a gala annual Class Day, June 24, and then last but by no means least, a Reception for Seniors and their friends on June 25. With this last event we must part, each to travel along his own pathway, taking with us happy and profiting memories of four enjoyable j ears at Braintree High, and we sincerely hope that this history of our class will aid us, in future years, to recall these memories. Thus we say, adieu. .32 Will of the Class of 1937 E, THE graduating class of 1937, residing in the town of Braintree in Norfolk County, do hereby and forthwith make the following as our final will and testament, revoking all wills and such made by us at any previous time. (How’s that for a beginning?) Since we are about to jump off into space we feel as though we shoidd leave some of our accomplishments and qualities to those we are about to leave behind. To the Freshmen class we leave the honor of being called upperclassmen, and the thrill of walking in crowded corridors. To the Sophomores (this is very generous of us) we bequeath the use of the school for the next two j ' ears, loads of nice books and the bu.ses. (We can’t make any promises as to bus drivers.) To the Juniors we leave the pleasure of having final exams a couple of days earlier and some of the dignity that we, who call ourselves Seniors, are suppo.sed to have. To Coach Kane, our sponsor, we hereby will and bequeath a couple dozen goal posts, and another good man like “Cav.” William Farrington leaves his paper route and that ski cap to Blake Bryant. Cristophi leaves his dancing feet to Edward Jennings. (He can use them too). Goof Magnuson leaves a “Deep, Deep River’’ to Fred Bridgham. Betty Cronin, our dancing queen, bequeaths her marvelous ability to dance to Dorothy Davis. Swing it. Dot! Ruth Lindbohm leaves her blues voice and blonde curls to Margaret Till. Russell Ackerson leaves his slow smile and place on the honor roll to Roger Taylor. IMarion Lawrence leaves her “sophisticadeness’’ to Regina Maguire. Care- ful how you use it, Regina! To Joe Avitabile, our Treasurer, we leave a bottle of Zemo to replace the hair he has lost worrying about our dues. Joe wills his ability in reporting for the Quixx’y Ledger to anyone who can fill his shoes. Ruth Holmes leaves her reputation for being the most perfect blonde to Dorothy Mason. We will pass over Leslie Carpenter’s name as he needs all he has. Donald Harrington leaves to the Avitabile twins, Patsy and Clement, some of his manly physique. 33 The Morcom twins have already left plenty of action and tall stories, so we will pass rig:ht over them. Helen Ferguson leaves her titian hair and green tap shoes to Barbara Esta- brook. (Maybe we can get her to throw in a horse, Barb.) To Miss Stecher’s English Classes we leave a double quota of Wampatuck assignments with a crate or so of aspirin. Will Earney leaves his long legs to Lewis Snow. Helen Murphy leaves that freckle on the end of her nose to anjmne who would be silly enough to want it. Marion MacDonald leaves her smooth clothes to Elizabeth Lawrence. Boy Borden wills his best striped shirt and a free ride in his “Bus” to Curtis Bacon. C ' uitis has been longing all year to ride in a real car. Richard Allen leaves two toots on his tooter and his liking for the girls to Donald Clark. (Not Donald Duck.) To Mr. Jordan, our Headmaster, we leave a sad farewell note (to be printed next year), and a test tube for his goodbye tears. We are afraid that Norma will need all her ability at Simmons College, but she might leave a smile or two. Peter Valle leaves his speaking ability and the five dollars he won last year in the Public Speaking Contest (if he hasn’t already spent it) to Henry Cincere. Robert Mohan leaves “Old IMan Rivei” to anyone who will take it away. Horace Eno wills his ability for being just a few minutes late every morn- ing to Dick Tonner. Marjorie Day bequeaths her blush to Anita Qualey. Albie Frazier leaves a harmonica (in very good condition) to Mr. Chiesa, to be used when he runs out of jokes. And so, because we have run out of qualities and accomplishments for the time being, we do in this year of nineteen hundred and thirty-seven attach our hand and seal to this document ami sign our names. Marion Enos Ethan Allen 34 Prophecy of the Class of 1937 OOK! An automobile accident. The oc- cupants have been taken to the nearest doctor. . t the doctor’s office, who should they be but Marion Lawrence and Bud Ackerson who crashed into each other near Madison Square. And the doctor is none other than Mary Dono- van. The.se three are delighted to meet each other and it is not long before they are telling of all their old classmates, so let us hear their stories. Ten years have pas.sed since I graduated from my dear old Alma Mater, Braintree High, and look where I’ve landed, just a Packard demonstrator, here in the big city of Xew York. I should kick, the salary’s O. K. I know you’d be surprised to know how and where I’ve met some of our former classmates. One of my best customers, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Rosanna, (the former Marion Bailey) tell me that Evelyn Allen is teaching their children in school, and with her are Ruth Currie and Irene Call. Mrs. Rosanna gets her most fash- ionable clothes at the “Arthur Perry Gown Shoppe,” where Marjorie John.son, Nellie Markley, Gertrude Moynihan, Adelaide Schroth, and Alma Tobin are models, while Winona Torrey, Helen Wilson and Phyllis Flanders have found jobs in the same profession at Macy’s. In the same apartment house with the Rosannas live Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Carpenter, (the former Arlene Field). Lots of times when I’m riding around in my car I hear the two Morcoms over station WBHS where they tell bedtime stories to the chiklren. On the same station is the famous violinist, Albert Keith. And believe it or not the garage where I have my repairs done is owned by Thomas Emmett, who surpri.sed me much when he said he was married to Zoa Pratt. And you surely must remember our spon.sor, Mr. Kane? Well, I was reading the other day where he won the Nobel Prize for putting on the best combination Minstrel Show ever given on the New York Bowery! It was colossal and yesterday he was back in Braintree looking for his old job. Boy, that’s success for you. But now let’s hear of your adventures, Mary. Well, after a long time studying to become a M. D. I never expected that I’d have Marion and Bud for patients. I’ve met a great many of our classmates in my travels and right around here, too. I was surprised to discover that some of the nurses I’ve been working with are Dot Donaldson, Alice Diotte, and Haydee Dibble, who is their Superintendent. And Margaret Barrett is working in my own office. The other night I went to the “Oriental Casino” to dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Bonner, (the former Helen Murphy). They have just returned from Hollywood where Eddie has completed his last picture. For the 35 floor show at the Casino Marjory Day and Charlie Cummings did an Adagio Dance, and Sue Van Gemert sang “Hot Rhythm” and she dedicated it to Mr. and Mrs. Carlton Wing (Irene Aldrich) who were sitting at a nearby table. Dr. Robert Roberts, and the well-known societ} ' man. Dr. Don Smets, were also at the Casino with their respective wives, Louise Rostock and Eleanor Tenney. Helen Walter, Eleanor Turner, Marjorie Washburn, and Josephine Zanghi are telephone operators in the big city. Norman Riley and Peter Valle, well- known attorneys-at-law, have been to my hospital several times settling accident cases for unfortunate clients among whom, they tell me, were Evelyn Byam, I’ve forgotten her married name, and Annie Ferrante,whoisnow Mrs. A1 Knight; A1 is a captain in the army. And did you know that Johnson, Janssen, and John- son-Frank, Ernest, and Bob, attorneys-at-law, have as their secretaries Winifred Fountain, Frannie Frazier and Leonore Gagne. Arline Lavery is running a Girl Scout Camp while Helen Nelson and Isabel Murphy are keeping a dog farm in N. H. Phyllis and Helen Chambers are singing their famous blues over WXBH every night and they tell me that Edith Stewart is doing a swell imitation of the old-fashioned singer, Martha Raye. Norma Hedlund is editor of the very latest ballj ' hoo magazine, “The Open Eye,” and on her staff are Helen Wallace and Margaret Johnson; and also Jeanne Kormann. Charlie Ford, you remember him, was arrested j ' esterday and sentenced to a padded cell by Judge Graham Keigan, for trying to live up to his name of the “Mad Scientist,” by blowing up Virginia Hall’s Beauty Shoppe. Among the injured were some of her assistants, Elizabeth Larkin, Helen Healy, Judith Henderson, Rita McMahon, and Ida DelPico. Forutnatelv none were badly hurt. Now let’s hear what Bud has to tell. During the ten years since I have graduated from dear old B. H. S. I have been traveling all over the world on the income from my scientific inventions and as both of you have met many of our classmates, so have 1. In Constantinople I attended a wrestling match between the “Turkish Terror,” and the “Slugger from Sweden,” and who should thej ' turn out to be but Joe Mischler and Dave Petterson. In Singapore I met Mabel Pratt and Christine Spillane who are missionaries. Shirley Thompson and Betty Winkler are teaching French in a high school in Massachusetts. Some of the others teaching school are Marie Sullivan, Helen Moynihan, Newt McKean and Howard Menadier. On boats crossing the Atlantic, Olive Simonds, Ellen Smith, Virginia Pillsbury, Evelyn Oliver, and Bernice MacKenzie have jobs as stewardesses. Frannie Avakian is captain of a ferry boat, and on the same boat Bunny Arnold, Walter Poor, and Joe Reardon are sailors. One time in my travels a flat-foot cop tried to pinch me and who was it but Benny Bentham. In Northern Africa I found Douglas La- Bree, Frannie Rinaldi, and John Rielley serving in the French Foreign Legion. Thomas Hennebury and Mary Nelson are married and living in Paris. Edwin Waters and Bill Drinan are cooks for a French restaurant. For bravery in fi ght- ing a fire, Paul Braun, Robert Burnham and Lloyd Buker had their names in the paper and were praised as heroes of their profession. I heard that June and Clarice Sweezey were running a Reducing School, and two of the teachers are Agnes and Margaret McSharry and strange as it seems two of the patients are 36 Irene White and Anna Hutchinson. On one of my trips I came in contact with Vincent Taylor who is now the owner of the “Taylor Vanity Circus.” You could have knocked me over with a feather when he told me how manj of our old Classmates worked for him. In his band, led by Charlie Lyons are the two trumpet players Dick Allen and Bob Alves. The drummer is Harold Martin and the big boy with the “Sooza- phone,” Don Harrington. Cliff Magnuson is the elephant keeper, and the ele- phants’ water-boys are Horace Eno, Roy Nelson and Moon Mohan. The ele- phant riders are Evelyn Henrich and Phjdlis Pitts. The daring young man on the flying trapeze is Ethan Allen and he floats through the air with the greatest of ease accompanied by Jean Grant and Clarice Jackson. The most interesting act, however, is Katy Callanan’s fan dance. William Nelson is barker for those hip-swingin’ snake dancers, Vivienne Maglathlin, Izzie Perkins and Ruby Oakley. Louis Snow is the circus fat man, and Midge Scheible is the fat lady. The walk- ing skeleton is George Frazier. The famous men tumblers are Roy Borden, Cav Cavanagh, and Gar Frey. And trying hard to keep up with them are the girl tumblers, Mary D’Acci, Dot Holbrook, Annabelle Garland, Ruth Roeblad, and Louise Reynolds. For bareback riders he has Eleanor DeCosta and Helen Ferguson. The horse trainer is Virginia Thayer. The great Russian Sword Swal- lowers and Fire-eaters are those ever famous brothers Tony and John Kavelevsky and their barker is none other than Bennie Joy. Thrills for the youngsters and plenty of them are furnished by the clowning clowns, Quentin Berrio, Willard Walker, and John Rogers. Cliff Waite is the strong man while the ]Mr. and Mrs. Tom Thumb of the Circus are Fred Soderstjerna and Mary Drummey. Taylor told me that once the Rev. William Farrington attended the circus with one of his Sunday-school teachers, Barbara Grieve, and was most thrilled by the Hula-Hula dancers, Florence Allsopp, Astrid Anderson, and Arvilla Belyea, and the snake charmers Rita Brooks and Doris Warburton. The circus fortune teller is Mdme. Muriel VIencke, and Meg Blanchard and Ruth Holmes together with the two Marion MacDonalds are rivals of the other snake charmers. And the one and only human cannon-ball is William Wilder. The most fearless lion tamers of the century are found in the persons of Hoofer Christofi, Will Earney, Shirley Butler and Ruth Lindbohm. Elsie Cos- tantino and Mary Dunne are thrill riders and Phyllis Morse and Stell Taylor do high-dive acts. The tight rope walkers who haven’t slipped yet are Alby Frazier, Ned FitzPatrick, Marion Enos and Charlie Nelson. Then some more of our famous class who aren’t really performers but each in his own little way helps to make up the circus, especially Lloyd Dewar who is the ideal peanut-pop- corn man along with Edgar Wynot, Joe Kjellander and Betty Cronin who sell frozen custard and ice cream. John Bates and Dot Albertasse (not married yet) have the best hot-dog and hamburger stand in the country. The ticket collectors are Howie Gavin and Sam Geso. But the worst part about the circus is that gold-diggin’ chizeler, Joe Avitabile, holds a heavy mortgage on it and it may not be a circus long. 37 Se nior Committees Annabelle Garland Gordon Frey Helen Chambers Arvilla Belyea Joseph Kjellander Evelyn Oliver Banquet Walter Cavanagh, Chairman Frances Christofi Ruby Oakley Winona Torrey Reception Arthur Bentham, Chairman Graham Keigan Muriel Alencke Vincent Taylor Roy Borden Albertine Kormann Charles Nelson Ida Del Pico Edgar Wynot Ruth Roeblad Donald Smets Carleton Wing Graduation Edward FitzPatrick, Chairman Fred Soderstjerna Arlene Field Mary Cronin Helen Wilson John Alves Clifford Waite William Alorcom Charles Cummings Horace Eno Irene Aldrich Class Day Howard Gavin, Chairman Edwin Watters Marion Bailey Class Gift Joseph Avitabile, Chairman Rita Brooks Richard iMorcom C ' lass Will Marion Enos Ethan Allen Evelyn Bj am Haydee Dibble Alice Diotte Peter Vallee largaret Barrett Catherine Callanan Class Prophecy Mary Donovan Russell Ackerson Marion Lawrence Class History Norma Hedlund Lloyd Dewar ( ' lass Song Shirley Thompson Helen Wallace Ruth Lindbohm William Farrington Class Seal Norma Hedlund Marion Enos Albert Frazier Marjory Day Class Motto Helena Markley Robert Roberts Senior Honors Russell Ackerson 93.75 Valedictory Irene Aldrich 93.70 Salutatory Frank Johnson 91.69 William Farrington 91.62 Arvilla Belyea 90.78 Ruth Lindbohm 90.69 Helen Wallace 90.53 Eleanor Tenney 90.52 Norma Hedlund 90.14 Senior Writeups Second Period College English IV 38 What of Tomorrow Class V aledictoi-y Do we live today so that we may climl) one step higher tomorrow, or do we toil monotonously, never hoping to progress, sometimes sliding backward? We, today, must be willing to prepare for the future, so when hindrances and adversities arise before us we will be able to overcome them and carry out the purpose for which we were placed in this world. Xo matter how great or how small we are, or whether we have more opportunities or less, we can at least be willing to try, for only through continued endeavor can anyone hope to succeed. Do we want to see this nation, this world, go down in defeat? Do we want the efforts and struggles of those before us to have been in vain? We must carry on. We owe it to those before us, to ourselves, and to those after us. Our forefathers gave their best, and it is even more fitting that we should give ours. In this pre.sent day, more than at any other time in our history, there is a need for men and women with strong characters that will not be swayetl from the i)ath of duty, for men and women who are willing and able to meet obstacles in order to rai.se this world to a higher level. So let us live our lives for others, not for ourselves, realizing that they have an effect on the fortunes of our fellow men. May we do nothing for which later on we shall have regret, but may we be willing to help others and to see things as we .should. This life is really a survival of the fittest where man has to struggle to live on. Too few men have survived, survived a life that lives on in the memory of others. What a glorious world this would be if there were more men like Lincoln or Edison, who were willing to sacrifice and study in their youthful years in order to be able to be of help to mankind when their time came. Like these men we must be willing to combine all our strength and vigor into one supreme effort to climb the ladder that leads to the top where others can look up and see in us an e. am])le for themselves. In that way we shall bring this world out of a crisis to a height it has never known and shall change people from war-loving ti ' ibes to nations that respect peace and security as a worthwhile goal. We, as young people, are being carried along by a mighty tide and being cast on an unknown shore where there is a great battle raging. It is the battle of life, and more and more tleadly is it becoming. What is to be our fate? Will we be able to struggle through to higher land or shall we die on the shore? It is up to each one of us to decide upon that. If we have the will power, no opposi- tion, however great, can stop us, and with self-confidence we shall succeed in this world whose destiny is in our hands. And so, in the days that lie ahead, may God give us strength to be able to go forward, and not to say, “What can we do?” for tomoi-row we are born, born into a world of men where each must do his share. 39 1 BRA I NTREE MORfc.

This day with the sun ilid I bend my arm And my plow did sing with the birds; While on fertile plains the cattle grazed And my Prince watched over the herds. I pulled at the weeds ’till they gave away. And I cleared the fields of rocks. I built such fences to keep without All dangers to my flocks. As the day bids goodbye in the gray clouded sky. And the sun sinks low in the west; Have I done something more than the day gone before.

Being a little “green” and awe stricken, w ' e, at first, were a little afraid of what was ahead of us, but we proved, through our splendid operetta, that we were learning fast. No officers were elected this year, because we attended the afternoon session, but we wound up the year with our first trip to Provincetown, which we all enjoyed? ? ? With our first year behind us we settled down to a serious preparation for higher education. Our first step was the organization of the class. The officers elected were: Arsen C’harles, President; Charles Mann, Vice President; Doris Bice, Secretary; Frank Lavina, Treasurer. Our activities begun, we decided to have a Sophomore Dance. This was the first dance to be given by a Sophomore class and we felt mighty proud of it. This year brought our athletes to light. “Pop” Gilbert and “Indian” Levangie e.xcelled in football, while Laura Odell and Frances Scott were doing an excellent piece of work on the Field Hockey team. Our class was well repre- sented in the Gym Exhibition, but the outstanding girls of our class were Alice Coleman and Phyllis Simon, the boys had Don Gillespie to support them and he did a very good job of it. ddie Inter-room Spelling Bee was held and Elizabeth MacLaughlin, a member of our class, was the winner. We finished this eventful year with a trip to Canobie Lake, and we all had a “swell time,” especially coming home on the busses. Our Junior year began with the promise of further activities both social and academic. Our new officers elected were: Arsen Charles, President; Edward Jennings, Vice President; Doris Rice, Secretary and John Levangie, Treasurer. We miss our secretary because Dot has been in the hospital most of the year, but we hope to have her with us again next year. The plans for this year have been carried out very successfully so far. We are the first Junior class to present an operetta, “The Gypsy Rover,” made up entirely of students of the Junior Class, which turned out to be an artistic as well as a financial success. Our rings have been chosen and though they are very different from those of other classes, they are just as effective and attractive. The date selected for Junior Prom is May 21. Should our Senior year fullfill the promise indicated by our undergraduate years, the class of ’38 will write its name on the page reserved for outstanding classes of Braintree High. 46 Ode to juniors Richard ] Iorcom Three years ago you entered here; You walked right in without a fear And set in earnest to win a name So all your cdass would learn of fame. At once j ' ou set the school a-whirl With your musical feat; “The Sunbonnet Girl’’ And onward you march to reach the top So on the pedestal you may stop. But just for breath; for greater heights Are made for one who always fights. And so in greatness j ' ou shall pass Throughout the school, our greatest class. 47 Class of 1939 Robert Adams William Albert Richard Allen Clement Avitabile Patsy Avitabile William Bates Francis Boyle Elmo Bregoli Blake Bryant Earl Buker John Christie Donald Clark Walter Clark Richard Cotter Francis Coyle Thomas Creswell John Crowe Robert Cusick Carroll Daiute John DeCosta Joseph Delory Robert Dominick Sherman Drake Robert Drummey Charles Elliott Alfred Eno William Ewing Ernest Falardeau Coleman Farrington Henry Ferguson Anthony Ferranti James Fontoni Jack Forsythe Arthur Fountain Andrew Furlong Robert Glover Paul Gordon Gordon Gray Secontino Graziano Dwight Griggs Norman Gudmundsson Joseph Guiliano Robert Hall Warren Hall Howard Hamilton Frederick Hart Robert Hatch William Hepperle Howard Hicks Louis Howland John Hudson George Hunter Charles Innis Thomas Johnson William Kimberly James Kjellander Joseph LaCroix Everett Larmev Paul Leth William LeVangie Robert Mace Vito Manganello Robert Mattson Robert Maxwell Francis McClellan h ' rancis McDonough George McKean Austin McLean Robert McSharry William Mitcheli Richmond Morcom Joseph Moschella Henry Nickerson Francis O’Brien Robert Orrall John Perdikis William Perrj ' Alfred Pratt Robert Reader William Rendle Joseph Rinaldi George Roberts Guy Robbins Thomas Robinson Peter Rose Edward Souza Eliot Spiess Edward St. Andre Ernest Steffen Walter Stenberg Daniel Sullivan John Sullivan Richard Tonner William Townsend William Trainor Robert Wadsworth Malcolm Walker James Welch William Wheeler 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 Elinor Cain Connie Califano Vera Cardaroi)le Myrtie Carpenter Ann Chafe Mildred Chambers Phyllis Cocozella Doris Cohoon Elizabeth Crossman Margaret Crossman Vini Daigneault Eleanor DeCoste Angie DeCregorio Doris Delaney Ruth Delory Gail Donovan Doris Farrell Elizabeth Farrell Virginia Farrell Evelyn Fergu.son Jane Flanigan Jeanne Fowler Dorothy Frazier Gloria Frost Helen Furlong Rose Gagne Louise Gauthier Arlene Gillis Eleanor Goodearl Bertha Gould Agnes Hall Eleanor Hansen Gertrude Harrington Virginia Heal Doris Hedlund Anne Hemeon Astrid Henderson Helen Holmes Mary Holton Olive Hyland Catherine lannuzzi Dorothy Johnson Marion Keigan Phyllis Kilmain Charlotte Kimball Ruth LaBree Frances Lamb Katherine Lane Margaret Larkin Elsie Lavoie Dorothy Leet Mary Leszkiewicz Beatrice LeVangie Edna Lewis Grace Luisi Edythe MacLaughlin Nevart Mamelian Dorothy Mason Anne McCarthy Mary McCusker Mildred McMakin Hazel McRae Marjorie McSharry Mildred McVay Antoinette Merritt Barbara Moynihan Helen Mulcahy Pearl Nash Mary Neil Helen Nilson Sigrid Ohr-strom 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 Doris Rook Mildred Rosewarne Marjorie Scanlon Marion Scudder Ruth Shedd Rosamond Sherman Ruth Simpson Harriel Small Dorothy Smith Elizabeth Smith Florence Smith Rita Smith Natalie Snow Doris Spence Virginia Staples Mary Stevenson Mary Tantillo Priscilla Thayer Flsther Til)betts Phyllis Traverse Marion Tobin Anne Urquhart Leona Vayens Olive Walsh Anne Watson Jean White Nettie Whitehouse Barbara Wilkinson Marguerite Williams Evelyn Williamson Hazel Wilson Phyllis Wilson Gene Wood Barbara Woodbury Esther Zecchini 49 Sophomore Sanction Mary Kjellander We, the Sophomores, having successfully survived the tiying ordeal of being Freshmen, are now a class to be reckoned with; so don’t make the mistake of labeling us as “just another class.” Last year we offered, as a sample of what to expect, a tuneful, catchy operetta called “Rose of the Danube” that we feel can compare with the best of musical shows. With the swell singing of Blake Bryant, Ruth Paj)ps, Eliot Spiess, and the other members of the cast, “Rose of the Danube” was a howling (not referring to the singing) success. Being more than well supplied in vocal talent is not our only asset. Far from it. We are doing ourselves proud in gymnastics also. Witne.ss the acrobatic tumbling, trapeze work, and so forth of Robert Ma.xwell, James Kjellander, Robert Mace, Robert Chusic, and others and remember that they belong to the illustrious class of 1939. During the past football season Bud John.son and Bill Hepperle didn’t do so bad either. Confidentially, there is plenty of other football material in our class too, but being modest, we won’t boast about it. We don’t mind admitting however that two of the fanciest shooters of the rifle team, Robert Hall and Louis Howland, belong to our class. And let us not forget that Richard (better known as “Boo) IMorcom brought home the bacon for us in track. Soi)homore girls excelled in field hockey and haven’t exactly disgraced themselves on Miss Daugh- raty’s gym team. (By now you are probabj ' aware that we have “got something there.” Getting right down to business this year we had a class meeting and elected as our class officers Robert Ma.xwell, President; Howard Hamilton, ’ ice President; E.sther Tibbetts, Secretary; and Thomas Johnson, Treasurer. With such capable leaders as these we expect to go far. Perhaps our largest and shiniest badge of distinction is the fact that as our class spon.sor we elected the eminent drawing teacher, politician, and joke teller de lu.xe, Mr. Chiesa. If by chance we should get in trouble Mr. Chiesa would surely be able to talk us out of it. In the way of entertainment this year we haven’t done much, just bided our time and given the other classes a chance. We did, however under the direction of Miss Maxfield and Miss Billings, our English teachers, present a program in observation of National Education Week. Our class poet is Blake Bryant; you’ve probably seen some of his brain children in recent Wampatucks. Keep up the good work, Blake. While still Freshmen we accompanied the rest of the school on an outing to Lake C’anobie, in New Hampshire, and were man- handled by the roller coaster as much as anyone else. We’re game, though, and ready to start out again this year. All in all I guess this present Sophomore class will pass muster and stand up with the best of them. When things start popping around us though don’t say that we didn’t warn you. Ju.st move over and watch the “thirty-niners” go to town. I almost forgot — April 16 Sophomore Dance. 50 Ode to Sophomores Richard Morcom Just two more years you have to race Off to school with unwashed face; You’re just beginning your climb to fame To work as a class and earn a good name And so you struggle to do your best, To reach the top with all the rest. So that you unflinchingly may stand, To lend your school a helping hand. In scholastic standing you do e.xcel; In athletics you do quite well; Hut just above the hard things lie. That only work can get you by. 51 Class of 1940 Robert Ackerson Richard Ahlquist Robert Allan Warren Anderson Peter Anastos Walter Annis Richard Arnold John Aumen Doward Barter Walter Bergman James Bewlej ' Reginald Boulej- John Boutin Everett Bowie Louis Bregoli Charles Brown Kenneth Brown Paul Brown Richard Brown George Br an Robert Bilker William Burke Lewis Clancy Herbert Clark Martin Cleary Harold Cook Robert Cook James Corrigan John Cushing Carleton Davis Gordon Davis Lawrence Dowd George Erwin Harold Faulkner Albert Fitzgerald d ' homas hlanigan Arnold Gibson William Gilson Richard Halloran Kendall Hardy Edward Hepperle Irving Hiltz Leroy Hirtle Norman Hunt James Hutchinson Donald Jackson James Jenkins Russell Juster Edwin Karling James Kelley Joseph Kelley William Kendrick John Knott Joseph Landrey Arthur Larkin Joseph Levangie Melvin Lundell George Madden Philip Magaldi Dexter Mahar Robert McCue Paul McCusker Joseph McKeever Donald McKeough John McNeil Joseph McRae Albert Melchionno James Mills James Moody Thomas Moore Robert Neil Jose})h Nelson Paul Nelson Richard Neves Edward Nickerson Henry Nordahl Russell Oliver Harold Olofsson Paul Olson William Palson John Parlee Harrison Perkins John Peri} ' Angelo Pino James Pollock Chester Price John Quinlan Philip Recupero Richard Reed William Robinson Fred Sanford Gordon Sears William Shanahan Willard Shorey Gordon Smith John Smith Ra3 ' mond Stackhouse John Stenberg William Stovold Douglas Sj’mons William Taber Robert Tagen Thomas Talbot Harold Tajdor Charles Thompson Everett Tisdale William Tracej ' John Tricomi Russell Turner Richard Urquhart Joseph Valle Philip Webber Robert ’heeler Harold Whitman Harold Wilkinson Robert Williams Elwood Wilson James Wj not William Wjnot Arthur Zahn Philij) Zahn Lorraine Alexander Florence Alose Marie Altobelli Leona Argentina Phj’llis Asaro Adeline Avitabile Florence Ayers Louise Bagonzi Gladys Bailej ' Barbara Baker Angelina Baroso Helen Barrett Marion Barrett ' ' Marjorie Bates Janet Benjamin Wilma Benjamin Anita Benotti Coririne Benson _Eleanor Benson Alice Berrio Doris Bezansoii Eleanor Borden Virginia Boudreau Frederica Boulej- iiett3-lou Brown Elizabeth Burke Marjorie Cain Ruth Callanan Mary Campbell Helen Canavan Angela Caranianica Isabel Carlozzi Muriel Chr3 stie Barbara Clement Agnes Collier Laura Corcoran Margaret Costantino Norma Crooker Marion Crowe June Curran Anne Davis Jordine DeCoste Patricia DeCoste Mar3 ' Denning Elsie Drinkwater Erma Drysdale Constance Duffee Ed3 the Duquet Janice Egan i lar3 ' Ellis Virginia Emery Charlotte Emmett Marie Farina Kathleen Farrell Rose Ferrante Miii ' ie Fontoni Virginia Ford Frances French Mildred Fuller Edith Gardner Alildred Glass Ruth Grad3 ' Marv Graziano Ruth Greenough Rose Hall Barbara Hanle3 ' Lillian Hard3’ Marion Hard3’ Martha Harrington Barbara Havden Jaciiueline Ha3 ' es Pauline Heale3- Agnes Henneburv Caroh-n Herrmann Eleanor Hippier June Holbrook Priscilla Howland ' Marjorie Hull Barbara Irving Barbara Jeffers Doroth3 ' Johnson Barbara Jones Lillian LaMarine V ' enerie Lavina Margaret Leahy Rosamond Leszkiewicz Jl ' helma Lewald Katherine Litchfield -Marv Lynch Frances MacKenzie Marjorie Mahar Dorotlu’ McCarth3’ Pauline McCusker Mui •lel McLaughlin R-uth McMakm Mar3’ McNult3’ Eileen Meantw Betty Medland Alice Morrison Grace Murra3’ Gladys Nichols Willa Norris Marguerite O’Brien Luc 3 ' O ' Keefe Marjora3’ Palmer Marion Pinkham Margaret Pitts Mildred Plummer Harah Ralto Evelyn Remick Helen Roberts Mildred Roberts Barbara Robinson Muriel Rogers Nina Rook Doris Rudolph Pearl Schatzl Priscilla Schofield Nanc3’ Shedd Alma Smith Arlene Smith Glenna Smith Bett3- Souther Bettv Southwick Mary Starkey AJma Steele Rita Steffen Maiy E.

Every Thursday morning games were played by the var- ious teams in the Freshman class. An all-star team was chosen to play against Abington as a preliminary game to the varsity contest on January 26. Although the class of ’40 lost, nevertheless they showed some possible stars for a future B. H. S. varsity hoop team. Among the leading Freshmen i)layers are AI. Smith, Bewly, Gordon Davis, Donald Jackson, Jenkins, Cu shing, Wynot, Berghan, Gibson, Hunt, J. Smith, C. Davis and Alagaldi. The Ride Club, whose meetings are held on Alonday nights at 7.00 o’clock, is well attended by many members of the Freshman Class. Some Freshmen belonging to the Ride ( ' lub are Paul Brown, Richard Halloran, Paul Nelson, Everett Tisdale, Paul AIcCusker, and George Aladden. The sports spotlight should not be thrown entirely upon the boys because the girls deserve their bit of praise. There are quite a few Freshman girls repre- senting our Class in the Gym Exhibition and, as such, their showing is nothing to be sniffed at. From our observation of the tactics used by some of the Freshman girls in ])laying Touchdown, it is our feeling we have several good basketball players in the making and, who knows, maybe some day they may bring as much gloiy to the name of our dear old B. II. S. as any of the boys. A Freshman’s life consists of considerable “taking” and very little “giving.” (The razz I mean.) From the time a Freshman enters B. H. S., he has to start taking it “on the chin” and, what’s more, liking it. For instance, a Freshman just entering B. II. S. and not knowing his way around, might ask an upper classman the way to such and such a room. The upper classman, thinking himself witty, would perhaps reply, “Take your drst left and then take the elevator to the third door.” Some innocent Freshman would fall for this j ' arn and would perhaps hunt all day for the elevator which does not exist. But I want you to know that a Freshman’s life is not entirely one of pei ' secution, for the}’ have some good times between themselves. There are some smart Fieshmen this year, whom I am sure will do their best for B. II. S. in the years to come and whose aim is to make their cla.ss one to be proud of. “See here, Tom,” said the teacher, “you mustn’t say, T ain’t going.’ You must say, T am not going’; ‘He is not going’; ‘They are not going’; ‘We are not going’.” “Gee,” replied Tom, “ain’t nobody going?” 54 Ode to Freshmen Richard ] Iorcom As you entered through our gates, To meet old friends and new classmates, Life seemed to start once more for you. But remember, “Oaks from Acorns grew. Soon after j ' ou’d been here awhile. On your faces grew a smile. You soon forgot self-consciousness. And settled down to do your best. In all jmur studies you may fool. And never try to reach your goal; But by studying four long years You’ll graduate amid loud cheers.

The vow to begin exer- cising again. The determination to start playing golf, and right now when you have an entire afternoon to kill. The decision that it’s such a long way to the golf club and the relief at remembering that your driver is broken. The switch to tennis. The toying with the idea of calling somebody up and trying to fix up a tennis game. The relief upon discovering that every possible opponent is out of town or too busy to play. The determination to go out and take a long, brisk walk. The abandonment of the idea because there are a couple of clouds in the sky and it might rain. The possibility of going to the club and playing handball. The acute fatigue produced by the very thought of so strenuous a game as hand- ball. The firm resolution to take at least 10 minutes of calisthenics every morn- ing. The strong suspicion that you’ll never get around to starting. The irresistible couch. The dull novel. The delicious drowsy sensation, intermingled with self- contempt. The comforting recollection of the girl who said you looked so much better now that you had put on some weight. The long nap. It is rather dismaying to think how often 10 big song hits, hundreds of lavish scenes, and thousands of beautiful, glamorous, gorgeous girls all add up to one bad motion picture. An old lady entered a book store intent upon acquiring something or other. She asked “What would you recommend for an old gentleman who isn’t interested in anything?” We wonder if some of the authors who write so confidently of what the world will be like a hundred years from now, could tell us what it will be like six months from now. A kibitzer is just a guy with an interferiority complex. In Italy, apparently, military service begins as soon as you are able to walk and ends as soon as you aren’t.

N ORTHE ASTERN University COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS Offers a broad program of college subjects serving as a foundation for the understanding of modern culture, social relations, and technical achievement. The purpose of this program is to give the student a liberal and cultural educa- tion and a vocational competence which fits him to enter some specific type of useful employment. COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Offers a college program with broad and thorough training in the principles of business with specialization in ACCOUNTING, BANKING AND FI- NANCE, or BUSINESS MANAGEMENT. Modern methods of instruction, including lectures, solution of business problems, class discussions, professional talks by business executives, and motion pictures of manufacturing processes, are used. COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING Provides complete college programs in Engineering with professional courses in the fields of CIVIL, MECHANICAL (WITH DIESEL, AERO- NAUTICAL and AIR CONDITIONING OPTIONS), ELECTRICAL, CHEMICAL, INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING, and ENGINEERING AD- MINISTRATION. General engineering courses are pursued during the fresh- man year; thus the student need not make a final decision as to the branch of engineering in which he wishes to specialize until the beginning of the sophomore 5 ' ear. CO-OPERATIVE PLAN The Co-operative Plan, which is available to upperclassmen 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 make business contacts which prove valuable in later years.
