Christmas vacation — oh boy! { 10 S IMULTANEOUSLY with the opening of school in September, Coach Kane called out the candidates for the Braintree High eleven. He made it plain from the beginning of the season that no one would be cut from the squad because of inability. Coach Kane was assisted throughout the year by Coach Hawkes who was appointed to aid Mr. Kane at the beginning of the year. For the first- few weeks the squad ran through routine work and light -crim- mages. On September 24 they went to the Municipal Stadium in Quincy where they were defeated 18-6. After two more weeks of practice, a game was played with North Quincy on Hollis field. The final score was: North 19, Braintree 7. On the same field on the next Saturday Braintree was topped by a Rockland club 20-7. On October 22 Braintree was defeated by Needham 26-0. The game was played at Needham. When Milton came to Braintree on the following Saturday they were greeted with a real surprise. Braintree all but had them defeated when Milton was fortunate enough to slip over a touchdown and add the point giving them the game, 7-6. However, the real thrill of the year came on November 5 when Weymouth came to Hollis Field to Braintree’s so-called underdogs. Wey- mouth not only received one of the w r orst- set-backs of the season but was also just lucky to keep the score tied at 7-7. A major disappointment came on the next Saturday when the husky Bridgewater gridsters handed Braintree a 26-7 set-back. This ended Braintree’s season and gave them a record of one tie and six losses. The players who received letters were: Johnson, Trainor, Bewley, Smith, Mace, Farrington, Williams, Erickson, Oliver, Moschella, Hamilton, Hicks, Davis, Copp, Boyle, Pollock, Reed, and Clougherty. 4 n Cross Country PAUL LAWRENCE B RAINTREE ' S hill and dalers completed a successful season this year, winning all but two of its seven meets. Although not large in number, seven men to be exact, the Braintree squad was one of the best balanced teams that the high school has produced in years. Diz Davis, Tommy Robinson, Captain Boo Morcom, and Tom Huleatt usually led the Braintree pack home, very often in a tie for first place. Captain Boo Morcom proved to be an inspiring leader, and his words ot encouragement helped to build the cooperative spirit that continued throughout ' the season. Diz Davis was a consistent winner, and could be counted on every time to give an excellent performance of good running. The same can be said of Tommy Robinson, who with Davis, ran side by side and finished that way quite often. Tom Huleatt, the sophomore representative on the team, did creditable work and can be depended upon to be a real threat to Braintree’s opponents next year. Ed. St. Andre, Kenneth Goebel, and Bob Allen, the other members of the squad, all figured in Braintree’s victories and should certainly be mentioned for their share in making the 1938 Cross Country Team one of the best on the South Shore. i 12 E NTHUSIASM! Spirit! The first day of school the pep of the hockey team was proved when there issued forth from the gym a clamor of girls’ voices asking the same, the all-important, the one-and-only question, “WHEN DOES HOCKEY PRACTICE START?” This year’s team couldn’t help but be successful within the bounds of the “swellest” coach, Miss Daughraty; the “bestest” captain, Ruth Adams; and the “keenest” manager, Eleanor DeCoste. Maybe you didn’t know, but not only is this a hockey team but a comic team as well. Was there ever anyone funnier than Dottie with her actions and expressions when she missed the ball? Who would think to carry lunch to all the games? None other than that star inner, Ollie. Before our game Dot Johnson, the center, had to be held by five girls while the sixth put some lipstick on her. Was there ever a card like that full-back, Jean (except for the Joker)? She plays an instrument which has no name but sounds similar to the noise which comes from the auditorium when scenery is being removed. Hats off to a beautiful but smart goalie and also our red-headed half-back Holmsev. All these things added together helped to spread the sunny spirit throughout the squad. Incidentally, nine out of the twelve games played were tied or won. Extra! Ruthie had the brilliant idea that the hockey girls should have a banquet at Howard Johnson’s in Weymouth.

ENGLISH H PftftLEi [ JOUS A ■CinCEfiE STUDi ANTIC IPftTlON Freshman Sidelines MARY HALPIN FOOTBALL team under the direction of Coach Erwin was started last fall -La with Tony Avitabile as captain and Bob Davidson manager. In the first game the Weymouth Freshmen won 14-6. In a later game, however, the Brain- tree squad won 13-6. In the two games played with Hingham, we lost one 12-6 and won the other 13-0. The junior varsity defeated the freshmen 7-6. The members of the squad were Pittsley, Almy, Batchelder, Nelson, Denning, Thorpe, Mann, Harlow, DelPico, Benson, ussell, McClellan, Boutin, Meldrum, Mc- Laughlin, Starkey, Curran, Avitabile, Albert, Allen, Ferranti, Diotte, Mahar, and Morse. For inter-room basketball there were eight teams and about sixty players took part in the games played every Thursday morning. The Freshman Boys’ Basketball team had practice sessions Thursday morning on the fundamentals of team play, offense, and defense in the style of the varsity team. They have played three games and have sustained no defeats. The games were played against a team from the Junior Civic League and teams from the Noah Torrey and Thomas Watson Schools. They plan to play other teams from the Junior Civic League. The members of the team were Mahar, Harlow, Lundell, Littlejohn, Thorpe, Post, Davidson, Benson, Avitabile, Mann, Fox, and Holmes. Some of the freshmen joined the Rifle Club which met every Monday evening. The freshmen members of the club were Benson, Bousquet, Buckley, Cahill, Clinton, Davidson, Dunn, Faustine, Leach, Lourie, MacLaughlin, Malstrom, Maloney, Medico, O ' Neil, Plumber, and Woodsum. The Boys’ Freshman Gym Team met on Thursday mornings for tumbling and apparatus. The members of the team were: Albert, Allen, Hallett, Nelson, Levangie, Mahar, Lundell, Mamelian, De Coste, and McLaughlin. The Gills’ Freshman Gym Team met Thursday mornings for tumbling. The members of the team were: D. Bentley, B. Barter, L. Campbell, R. Collins, B. Copp, G. Connolly, N. Crocker, M. Day, J. Fox, S. Howe, P. Halloran, .1. LeRoy, C. Lisano, P. Luisi, B. Lyons, E. MacNeil, M. Maclnnis, D. Mikkelson, D. McCusker, H. Murphy, H. Neal, E. Pollock, L. Price, J. Sarnell, P. Simmons, E. Storm, G. Talbot, A. Walsh, J. Wright, M. Curley, L. DelPico, and G. Hatch The Freshmen won the magazine drive with high salesman Kenneth Pierce. The radio went to Mr. Dysart’s room. Many of the freshmen made the honor roll this year. The members of the freshman class on the honor roll are as follows: R. Brown, B. Frazier, G. Gaskill, W. Mann, R. Post, F. Stevens, R. Bean, R. Briggs, M. Day, P. Delory, M. Hal- pin, B. Hoyt, M. Keith, J. Kellogg, P. Luise, B. Lyons, E. Mann, J. Pafford, A. Tagen and L. Turner. J 16 The Race at the Half ROBERT CHIESA I N the fall of 1938, the class of ’41 went into action by nominating candidates for the various offices to be filled. After the battle was over there were four new class officers and one sponsor. Robert C’hiesa, president; Bob Allen, vice presi- dent. Owing to his honesty and integrity Lester Hatch was made treasure]- while Evelyn Mattie was the sole representative of the girls as secretary. Our class sponsor is Mr. Oakman. Sports seem to be the most popular topic in the sophomore class. Many of the boys went out for football — some made good. In football Gerard Clougherty stood head and shoulders above the rest, being the only one to get a letter. Dwight Chandler showed up well. Lennie Caruso was going places when a leg injury stopped him short and Jack Powers was in there all the time. When basketball practice started many sophomores reported — a few of them made the team. The only fair way to name them would be in alphabetical order and so here they are: Paul Cheverie, Ken Goebel, Tom Huleatt, and George Lewalcl. Many other members of the class were gym team or field hockey candidates. At our first class meeting it was decided that it would be necessary to have representatives from the various homerooms meet to decide on class matters. The first and most important thing to be worked out was how to get money for dues out of tight-fisted pockets. In March we ran a dance in the school hall which proved successful even though there was much ado over the admission charge. During the magazine drive the clas s of ’41 did not show to any particular ad- vantage but salvaged a few dollars for the treasury. In the spring many sophomores reported for baseball and track — many of them going right to the top. Even though the class had an eventful year, everyone was glad to get out for the summer. ■{ 17 } Three-Fourths of the Way JAMES BEWLEY I N the fall of 1936 we started our long journey of mastering a large river by means of a paddle-less canoe, for with the schedules we received the first day came that name of names — freshmen. How could we stand it? We couldn’t; well we did. For one year we were the victims of the upperclassmen’s stinging remarks and sour looks, but out of our class came musicians, scholars and athletes. It wasn’t long before our footprints were well imbedded in the hull of our ship. After one year we were promoted in rank to that of sophomores and, as we were fully acquainted with one another, our canoe was changed to a crew scull with William Paulson the man in charge, and under him came his very able as- sistants Russell Oliver — second in command, Mary Cambell taking care of all the financial problems of the trip and Dexter Mahar filling out the log. Our ship is being steered by Miss Keany, class sponsor. During this leg of the journey we went ashore long enough to have a Sophomore Social which turned out to be very successful. Out of our crew, in addition to all previously mentioned, came actors, actresses, singers and champions galore. Incidentally, mates, the midway marker is off our stern. A vacation and then back to our sailing vessel with a new rank as well as a ship. Now instead of sophomores we are juniors. Facing us was a year piled with many highlights, the first of which was election of officers. Russell Oliver took over and Richard Reed became his right hand man, Mary Cambell doing a top-notch job with the funds, and yours truly finding himself behind paper and pencil. The second problem was that of rings and this nearly sank the ship with everybody aboard. Things looked dull so we sold Christmas cards and that brightened every- one, as well as the treasury. About this time a small gathering of the fairer crew were seen laughing and taking something or other very humorously. As we neared the group the word “operetta” — The Lucky Jade — filled our ears and covered our sails. It was held on March 3, coached by Miss Keany and Miss Lindsay, with Ruth Papps, Elliot Spiess, Guy Robbins, John Toll son and Jean White in the leading roles, a great success along with a gay and colorful Prom on May 19. Ahead of us the seniors are going ashore for good and behind us the three- quarter mark floats. We can’t help thinking that next year we’ll be taking over in their place for our fourth and last year aboard the sailing schooner, B. H.

The members elected John Aumen, president and Lou Howland, vice president. The club held practice meetings on Monday evenings and entered the second of the series of the Junior Bi-weekly Team matches sponsored by the National Rifle Association. We also had competitive meets with Quincy, North Quincy, Nor- wood, Brockton and Thayer Academy. The outlook for next season’s team is bright as only two members, Bob Hall and Lou Howland, will be lost through graduation. John Aumen, Paul and Ken Brown, Jimmy Connolly, Warren Erickson, Ken Goebel, Art Petterson, MacLaugh- lin, O’Neil, Dunn, and Buckley can be counted on to turn in good scores when they are needed. The freshmen on the squad, as would be expected, turned in rather poor scores at first, but gradually with experience and the advice given by Mr. Jordan and the older members of the team, they improved until they are now capable of holding their own against anyone else in the club. 03 } Music DONALD CRISPIN AND — This year the band, even snappier than ever, furnished added enthusi- U asm for the spectators of all our major football games. The fine spirit and playing ability of the band was a real inspiration even though we met with hard luck at the games. Last year our band won first prize at the State Festival at Kali River. We are equally proud of the showing made by our band at the State Festival at Belmont and the New England Festival at Worcester held early this spring. The real popularity of the band among the students was proved by the large student body that gathered in the hall every Wednesday to hear us practice. Orchestra — With the violin section really improved greatly by the addition of some fine freshmen violinists, the orchestra gathered favorable comments at the rehearsals, the operetta, the Teacher’s Club play, and the various assemblies. The addition of two new kettle drums also made the orchestra sound better. The orchestra made a fine showing at both the State and New England Festivals. Mr. Hauck said that the success of both the band and orchestra was due to the added enthusiasm and interest that the members had for their work this year. Vocal- This year vocal music came into the limelight under the able direc- tion of our new director Miss Lindsay. The most outstanding event of the vocal groups was the presentation of the operetta, “The Lu cky Jade,” on March 3. The operetta leads were taken by Ruth Papps, Elliot Spiess, Guy Robbins, Natalie Snow, Jean White, Chester Price, Jean Young, Juanita Block, John Rideout, William Stovold, Donald Crispin, Joseph Kelly, Pearl Schatzl, John Tollison, and Herbert Ryan. Miss Iveany assisted in the stage work of the operetta. The Girls’ Glee Club and the Madrigal group gave a special concert at the Lincoln School, January 9. The Boys’ Glee Club sang at the Christ- mas Assembly. The Music Festival, given in the high school auditorium, was a real success. All of the musical groups demonstrated their ability much to the pleasure of the par- ents and friends who attended. Many solos and special numbers were given by the students. Miss Lindsay and Mr. Hauck have given much of their time in helping tin individual members of the band, orchestra, and glee club with their music. { 25 } Oral English NANCY SHEDD A N EVENT outstanding in character during the past year was “Growing Pains,” a three-act comedy by Aurania Rouverol presented by the members of the Oral English Club on December 9, 1938. A great deal of time was spent in preparation by the cast and they were well rewarded by the largest and most appreciative audience that ever witnessed an Oral English play. Two members of the cast who deserve honorable mention are Paul Nelson and Dorothy McCarthy, young stars who have everything it takes to make a play a success. Others who contributed greatly to the performance were Richard Browi , Ruth Greenough, Betty Souther, Nancy Shedd, Emylie Nash, Robert Cook, Thomas Talbot, Gordon Sears, and Kathleen Farrell. This play was under the direction of Miss Katherine D. Hearn, teacher of dramatics, whose untiring patience led to a great success. “Growing Pains” is a story of the McIntyre family who find many difficul- ties in life which are solved in a most humorous way. So as not to bore the reader I shall turn to another part of our work. Class Officers for the year 1938-39 were as follow ' s: Muriel Rogers, President; Betty Souther, Vice President; Elsie Drinkwater, Secretary; Richard Brown, Treasurer. Club meetings were held each Friday during which plays were read and reviewed and topics of the day discussed. The last half of the school year was spent in debate work. As Miss Hearn was vice chairman the tournament was held in the high school hall. In May there was the Annual Prize Speaking Contest thus closing another successful year. { 26 } Basketball ROBERT CHIESA O N January 4, North Quincy ripped Braintree 24-20. In spite of the loss obser- vers agreed that Braintree had great potential possibilities. Johnny Smith was the high man. The scrubs were defeated 34-17. Braintree defeated Thayer 47-12, on January 10. Tom Robinson was big gun of the attack. In the same final the Juniors played the Sophomores with the Juniors taking their diminutive rivals 34-26. Attended by a crowd of cheering spectators, the Erwins went to town when they met Weymouth, overpowering them 40-25. The seconds were overcome 19 — -11. The next Tuesday found Plymouth in the Braintree gym. A clever defense held the Wampatucks in check most of the night but they managed to eke out a 38-24 victory with Tom Robinson parting the twine for 17 points. The seconds took their first game 40-18. The Erwins received their second set- back when the Needham quintet went on a late rendezvous and won 33-27. Diz Davis and Johnny Smith were co-sharers of scoring laurels with 7 chuckers apiece. The seconds were turned back 34-32. This defeat was atoned for on the following week when the Blues trounced the same Needham quintet. The score was 29-18. Smith was high scorer for both sides. The scrub encounter went into an overtime with the Needham Juniors emerging as victors 21-20. On January 31, the local quintet smeared a weak Bridgewater quintet 57-26. The Bridge- water seconds nosed out a 27-25 win. Gordon Davis assumed the leading role in the Middleboro gym when with three seconds to play he dropped the ball through the hoop to give Braintree a 37-35 win. The scrubs turned in a 35-32 victory. Next the hoopsters were turned back 39-31, by an inspired Plymouth squad. Tubby Hatch, besides playing a brilliant defense managed to sink 18 points. The seconds won 34-15. With one loss still in their minds, the Wamps acquired their second straight when they ran into a hot Rockland five which turned them back 42-27. “Mac” MacLean led the scorers with 10 points. The scrubs won 25-23. Turning from the lose column the Wampatucks upset a powerful Rockland team 24-6. “Boo” Morcom led the seconds to their fourth straight and a 42-27 win. The Wampatucks played a hard fast game at North Quincy but the height of the Red Raiders was too much for them and as a result they were overcome 29-16. The scrubs were turned back 29-16.

While the golden daisies on hill and in dale, Bend on the breeze that blows up from the vale; All the world is humming or whistling a tune, Heartened and cheered by the beauty of June. WHAT SHOULD A SENIOR DO? William Hepperle IF . . . he makes a date with a teacher to teach her to skate? if he has a session with the office and the teacher demands he stay with her the same day? if his out of town girl meets his around town girl? if he has a date that night and his father won’t let him have the car? if he forgot to prepare his chemistry for class? if lie’s passing only 12 points and he needs 14 to graduate? if his friend, whose English he copies, is absent? if his blind date turns out to be a bad date? if he corrects his own paper? if he needs a new tire for his car, and his class dues are coming due? if he hasn’t time to study (so he says)? . . . It’s quite a problem, isn’t it? wsffsmm BfisUtUf le im Spring Term Calendar April 24 April 28 May 6 May 9 May 16 May 19 May 20 June 1 J une 3 June 15-16 June 19-20 June 21 June 22 June 23 End of vacation — too bad.

The end of this year for underclassmen — until September. { 32 Track RICHARD REED U NDER the capable handling of Coach Walter J. “Sugar” Kane and his assis- tant, Mr. Paul Toolin, the Braintree High tracksters made a fairly impressive record last spring. The team took part in six meets altogether, four duel and two interscholastics. In duel meet competition the boys had a record of three wins against one loss. The first victory came at the expense of Hingham in the most exciting meet of the season. Hingham was leading up to the last event, the relay, but an easy victory by the Braintree boys in this event ended the meet with the score 40 to 37 in Braintree’s favor. The other two wins were over Aldington and Weymouth by scores of 58 to 28 and 52 to 36, respectively. The lone loss was suffered at the hands of Walpole by a 48§ to 28 score in the last meet of the season. In interscholastic competition the boys didn’t make out quite as well. In the South Shore Interscholastics at Weymouth they made a good showing by finishing second best in a fair sized field; but at the South Shore Interscholastics at Brockton they finished far back in the running. At Weymouth, Bill Trainor had a field day, winning the class B 75, and 220 yard dashes and then running anchor man on Braintree’s record breaking relay team. At Brockton, Captain Bill Reed and Boo Morcom were outstanding. Reed won the mile in his class with plenty to spare, while Morcom broke the pole vault record by more than half a foot, jumping barefooted in a driving rainstorm. Lettermen were Captain Bill Reed, Eddie Jennings, John Cochrane, Boo Morcom, Bill Trainor, Tommy Robinson, Jim Bewley, Murray Smith, Dick Neves, Joe Kelly, and Dick Reed — three seniors, three juniors, and five sophomores. Not bad for next year! And the next, too! i 33 Tennis ROBERT MAXWELL Braintree 3 Randolph 1938 Opponents 2 Schedule Braintree 4 North Easton Opponents 1 4 North Easton 1 5 Brockton 0 3 Brockton 2 0 Milton 5 3 Weymouth 2 4 Hingham 1 4 Holbrook 1 1 Milton 4 3 Milton 2 3 Weymouth 2 0 Quincy 7 4 North Quincy 1 5 Randolph Won — 12 0 Lost — 3 Members of the team were: Walter Bergman, Richard Brown, Walter Clark, Robert Cook, Donald Gillespie, Richard Layton, Robert Maxwell, Harry Seavey, Robert Tagen, Richard Tonner, Henry Wilson. Although the 1939 schedule is not yet complete, it will be very similar to last year’s line-up, including 13 Sopho- mores, 10 juniors, and 6 seniors. Sets won 104 Games won 914 Sets lost 74 Games lost 789 Percentage of matches won — 80 Of the 24 matches played in the last two years, Braintree has won 19 and lost 5. GIRLS’ TENNIS T HE efforts of the girls’ tennis team last year seem to justify its continuation, and already fifteen candidates have signified a desire to participate. A repeti- tion of last year’s results would indicate that girls’ tennis is here to stay, for the four matches played were won by Braintree. The teams defeated were Randolph (2), Weymouth, and the hitherto undefeated Hingham team. Braintree Opponents Braintree Opponents 3 Randolph 2 4 Weymouth 1 4 Randolph 1 3 Hingham 2 The 1938 team included: June Curran, Barbara Estabrook, Olive Garvey, Joyce Hopkins, Dorothy Johnson, Isabelle MacFarland, Barbara Marshall, Gladys Reynolds, Mary Scott, Velma Shorey, and Mabel Smith. {34 } Baseball RICHARD ALLEN L ACK of pitching material is Coach A1 Murphy’s foremost problem at Brain- tree this year and it is upon his discoveries along this line that the success of the stiff fourteen-game schedule will largely depend. With the graduation of Bob Connolly and Nan Pinkham, last year’s ace hurlers, Braintree was left for the first time in many years without any experienced veteran of the mound. Coach Murphy, now in his second season of Warn pat uck coaching, has only one sure returning prospect upon whom he can rely for some winning pitch- ing. That one is Co-captain Joe Moschella, who pitched some ball for the Murphy men last season but whose experience is too limited to really make him a sure bet. The other potential moundsmen who have reported to Coach Murphy this season are Johnny Smith, Mac McLean, and Lefty Avitabile. These three have shown more than the rest of the candidates for the slab. Replacing the ineligible Bud Johnson will be another difficult task for Mentor Murphy although it will not require the worry that the other end of the battery will. “Swede” Erickson, grid and court star, is an experienced receiver who will be favored to fill Bud’s shoes. Lenny Caruso and Pete Griggs are close behind. On first base, Murphy will have Co-captain “Chubby” Hamilton, slugger de luxe who amazed the local fans last season with his long drives. Although his fielding form is far from perfect, “Chubby” has an unorthodox style of his own that gets appreciable results. On the keystone sack, Donnie Jackson, a junior, is the leading candidate. Jackson failed to show to his best ability last year but the experience will undoubtedly make him into a sterling performer. The short- stop position is the only question mark in the infield with two candidates leading the field. The first and favorite one is Mac McLean, a veteran shortfielder, who will probably be the regular man at short with Bud Robinson, up from Kingston, filling in when Mac is performing his mound chores. Gordon Davis has virtually clinched the third base position by virtue of his last year’s performance and a rise in his batting average would rank him as one of the most valuable men on the squad. The outfield will probably be two-thirds filled with Jimmy Welch in center and Lefty Hall in right. The left field sector is undecided to date and Murphy will probably have little trouble finding a man for the spot. i 5 Gym Exhibition PETER ROSE JAMES KJELLANDER O N March 31 the tenth annual gym exhibition was held in the high school auditorium. The enthusiasm for the gym team is steadily increasing and Mr. Thwing and Miss Daughraty can be depended upon each year to put on a show which will surpass any past performances. This exhibition marked the tenth mile- stone and proved to be unusually interesting and entertaining. The boys did a sword drill, a hobo dance, and featured statuary which was indeed something to see. The girls marched, danced, and did a calisthenic drill with precision. They also vaulted the buck, box, and horse with agility and dis- played excellent form in tumbling and on the rings. Among the ranks of the boys’ tumblers were Bob Maxwell, Bob Drummey, Tony Ferrante, Bill Wheeler, and Paul Nelson. Pete Rose, Maxwell, and Drummey succeeded in mastering the difficult and popular giant swing on the high bar. Out- standing on the rings were Jimmy Kelly, Ferrante, Maxwell, and Kjellander. The legion of parallel men included all the senior gymnasts and Bud Pollock of the Junior class who did very well. All the boys wish to thank Frannie Luoma for his help in teaching them many difficult stunts on the apparatus. Many girls under captain Marjorie McSherrv were out to give their best. Eleanor Goodearl, Dot Johnson, Phyllis Kilmain, Bizzie Drinkwater and Ruth Adams were outstanding. Captain Marjorie McSharry and Ruth Adams set the pace and the other girls had to be on their toes to keep up with them. The gym exhibition, besides providing the best entertainment of the early spring, supports the school injury fund which is used for the care of students injured while taking part in sports or regular school work. You may be sure that Mr. Thwing and Miss Daughraty will put on an exhi- bition next year that will measure up to this year’s performance which was the best yet. J36 Music s Role in the Public School Class Salutatory ESTHER ZECCHINI M ODERN SCHOOLS do not educate by filling our minds with facts and knowledge. They educate by bringing us into close, daily contact with our fellow beings, — working with them, studying with them, playing with them. Therefore, schools prepare us for life by giving us actual experience in living. John Dewey, the great educator, gives the characterization of a school as an experience which offers a simplified, purified, balanced way of life; simplified, because it is not as complex as general social life; purified, because a great many social contacts and experiences which are detrimental are eliminated; balanced, because it offers one a reasonably complete round of contacts. Surely music is included in a balanced life. A day without music is not complete. Yet, how many people really understand the music they hear? There is a difference between hearing music and understanding it. A person may listen for hours to an opera being sung and enacted, and, when it is over, he may have no conception of its true meaning or purpose. Many have an inborn love and understanding of music, — -others have to be educated to its appreciation. Where can an appreciation of music be fostered more conveniently and readily than in school? Those who previously had only a superficial interest in music may, after becoming more thoroughly acquainted with it, make it one of their most enjoyable pastimes, or possibly even their life’s work. Why is it important that students learn to appreciate music? There is only one answer. It will enable them to live more richly, more completely, more happily. This influence on the lives of young people made Lowell Mason a pioneer of public school music. He realized its benefits and worked for several years to prevail upon the Boston School Committee to give vocal music a trial. This radical idea was accepted only after a great deal of struggle and hard work on his part. He believed that God endowed every individual with a musical sense which could be brought out by education. To the child entering kindergarten, one of the delights of the new world into which he enters as he starts his education, is the happy experience of learning to sing songs, by imitation from his teacher, about flowers, birds, animals, and many other things which appeal to little children. 37 The aim of public school music is to give all children an appreciation of good music, not only by hearing it, but by actual participation in various courses of music. Boys ' and girls’ glee clubs, madrigal, and other vocal groups are now found in schools all over the country. Equally popular are the instrumental groups, the orchestras and bands. In Los Angeles an interesting idea is being carried out very successfuly and enthusiastically. The Department of Playgrounds and Recreation of the city has developed a program in which recent high school graduates form choruses and orchestras of their own, under the direction of a leader who is competent musically, and experienced in handling young people. Concerts, festivals, operet- tas, and other programs are prepared for the mutual enjoyment of the singers and audience. This new activity is being introduced in various other cities, and everywhere is acclaimed enthusiastically. To quote from a report by Mr. James Ecker, Music Director for Boston Schools, “Music and art are no longer regarded as special gifts for the chosen few, but rather as a rich and cultural source of mental nourishment which may be equally apportioned for the good of all.” Can We Continue to Conquer? S EPTEMBER 1935-1936-1937-1938-Now June 1939 and time for graduation. Four short years in which we have labored to attain some measure of success and recognition. Four short years in which to do or die, and the Class of 1939 did not say die! We fought our way valiantly to the top and there we stay. When we entered the portals of B. H. S. in September, 1935 we were looked upon as merely another class of freshmen to be “heckled” by the lofty upperclass- men. As we were assigned to the afternoon session we did not have much oppor- tunity to enter into the upperclass student activities, but we were by no means idle. Our future athletes were busily preparing themselves for the fray with fresh- man football, basketball, and baseball. They must have prepared themselves well, because we can now point with pride to Bud Johnson, Howie Hicks, Joe Moschella, Chubby Hamilton, Tubby Hatch, Tommy Robinson and Boo Morcom. Our future opera stars came to the foreground also, with the presentation of “Rose of the Danube.” The leading roles were filled by Ruth Papps, Bar- bara Wilkinson, Jeannette Rogers, Eliott Spiess, and others of our class. In our sophomore year we came back to school without that meek, self- consciousness which freshmen always seem to have. We started the year right by electing Mr. Chiesa as class sponsor, and class officers as follows: President, Robert Maxwell; Vice President, Howard Hamilton; Treasurer, Thomas Johnson; Secretary, Esther Tibbetts. The main event of the ’36-’37 season was the Sophomore Social which took place in the Gym on April 10, 1937. This was the first real activity in which we had the opportunity to get together and become better acquainted. In September, 1937, we came back to school with a bang to start our third year in B. II. S. Shortly after our return we held a class meeting at which time the same class officers were unanimously voted in for the ensuing year. There was little activity on the social front for the first few months but the boys of the class were seen during the week active in basketball, football, track and cross-country. Many of our girls were on the hockey squad. An interesting musical comedy, “Who Discovered America?” sponsored by the Class of ’39, was given on January 21 by the upper classes. This operetta was a great success both socially and financially. Next came our class rings. We chose a very beautiful ring of black onyx background with a gold and enamel emblem set on it. May 20, 1938 was a great day for us all. We gave our Junior Prom to the departing Seniors. The Gym was decorated to represent the bottom of the ocean. It was an evening of merriment and we all felt as happy as mermaids and fishermen. After the close of school in June we joined with the other classes and went to Onset by train on our class outing. From Onset we took a boat anti went through the Cape Cod Canal, came back to Onset to return in the evening by train to Braintree. And now as Seniors! At the first regular meeting in September, 1938, the class once again u nani- {39 mously voted that the same class officers continue with their work. Class officers aren’t supposed to hold campaigns, but — we wonder! A Senior Council was organized to take care of and discuss important mat- ters that confronted the class. The Council consisted of ten members: Robert Maxwell, Howard Hamilton, Thomas Johnson, Esther Tibbetts, Dorothy John- son, Robert Mace, Sherman Drake, Richmond Morcom, Robert Wadsworth, and Robert Cusick. At the first meeting, the council made plans to have a Senior Dance which was held in the Gym November 18, 1938. This dance brought us together again and helped us to acquaint ourselves with some of the newcomers to our class and school. As an easy way to make money, (note the word easy) we chose to sell Christmas cards. Fifty cents was received on every box sold. The class responded graciously and a goodly sum was realized. The cry of Yearbooks and Pictures struck our ears in December as did the merry tune “Jingle Bells.” Every one worked hard and with all the grand suggestions and new ideas our Yearbook should prove the best book ever put out by B. H. S. On March 3 many Seniors took part in the operetta “The Lucky Jade” sponsored by the Class of 1940. Ruth Papps played the leading role, supported by Spiess, Robbins, Crispin, .1. White, N. Snow, and others too numerous to mention. On March 17 came the show of shows. “The Reunion of the Class of ’39.” Who can forget “Janitor” Moschella and his friend Johnson, tidying up for the reunion? Then the Night Club scene presided over by Sherrn Drake and his Ambassadors. The numbers highlighted in this scene were corkers. Torch singer supreme — Althea Riley; Wheeler and McSharry, roller skating act; Doris Delaney, tap dancer; blues singer, Glady Reynolds; Carl Erickson’s harmonica rendition of “Umbrella Man” ; Bertha Gould whistling; Cassie Griffin, toe dancer; Dot and Bud Johnson’s sister and brother act; Donald Crispin, violin solo; Ruth Papps song; Frances Lamb, dancer; and Jitter Bug rendition. Commencement activities claimed the greater part of the Senior interest from here on. Banquet on June first was a gala affair — lots of good food, excellent music, and a general good time for both class members and guests. Graduation, the big event toward which we’ve all been striving for four long years, came on June 21st mingled with joy and a tinge of sadness at the realization we must leave our Alma Mater. Class Day on June 22nd, time for fun and finally Recep- tion on June 23rd. Saturday the 24th — a bit of a let-down until further activity claims us each in our chosen field in the fall. Four grand years of which the Class of ' 39 is proud. { 40 Declaration of Thirty-Nine E THE graduating class of Braintree High, in the town of Braintree, V V Norfolk county, State and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, United States of America, being of sound and disposing mind and memory (maybe) do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, and hereby revoke all Wills and Codicils by us at any time heretofore made. (Now let’s get down to brass tacks.) Because we don’t know where we’re going, how we’re going, or why we’re going, we feel it our duty, and a very great privilege to bequeath some of our ac- complishments and great works to the up and coming classes. To the Freshmen we bequeath the same homerooms that they had last year, but with different teachers to go with them, and the honor of coming to school in the morning — maybe. To the Sophomores we bequeath two more years of hard work and plenty of homework. (In case you get stuck there’s a great set of encyclopedias in the library.) To the Juniors we bequeath an auditorium in which not to over-act; a lunch room in which not to over-indulge; and a gymnasium in which not to over- work. To Mr. Chiesa, our class sponsor, we leave a latest edition joke book, to be used at coming assemblies and not political meetings. To Mr. Jordan, our principal, we leave an umbrella to keep himself dry from all the tears shed by the coming classes. Ruth Adams leaves her ability to swing not only her feet but also her hockey stick to anyone who can use them as well as she can. To Evelyn Remick to be used only in her senior year, Marjorie Briand leaves her favorite nook that she and George occupied this year. Joe Moschella leaves his chromium-plated brass knuckles to Bob Cook. Myrtie Carpenter leaves her sophistication to Virginia DeCoste, if she can get away with it as well as Myrtie has. Bud Johnson leaves his bow legs to Richard Brown. Evelyn Ferguson bequeaths her riding ability to any Junior who thinks she can compete with her. Richard Haviland, it seems, is stuck with what he has. Bob Drummey wills his gymnastic ability and quiet reserve to Bud Pollock. Jane Flanigan leaves her ability of getting to home room one minute before the bell rings (and then on roller skates) to Priscilla Wilson. Dot Frazier bequeaths her charm in getting around a certain taxi driver to Mary Lynch who often wishes she could ride to school from the Heights. Swede Erickson and Bud Johnson donate reserve seats in Scollay Square to those with the nerve to use them. Bob Wadsworth’s ability to get and DonWynot’s ability to hold las senoritas is left to Bob Casanova Cashen. 41 Sybil Graves leaves her contagious giggles to Catherine Ianuzzi who, we hope, will catch them. Gail Donovan, Olive Hyland, and Ruth Papps bequeath their quiet and re- serve manner to Kathleen Farrell and Ruth Greenough who are almost as quiet. (If you get what we mean.) Chubby Hamilton and Sleepy McClellan bequeath their porcupine haircuts to Dick Tracy and Paul Chevorie if they have the courage to bear them. Robert Hatch leaves a pair of “half-mast” pants (in the care of the janitor) to Don Clark. Dot Johnson leaves her ability of keeping the stronger sex guessing to Junie Curran. Lil Roeblad leaves her ability of getting along w r ith the teachers (Miss Kirby, etc.) to Jordine DeCoste who is also in the same boat. Austin McLean’s monstrosity is left for the strongest, most skillful and most daring member of the Junior class. Guy Robbins leaves his “bag” (brief-case) to Everett Tisdale. We hope that “Tissis” is strong enough to carry the book conveyor. Tony Merrit leaves her favorite saddle back shoes to Helen Fillingim who has worn them almost as much. Phyllis Pratt leaves her exquisite wardrobe to any Junior girl who thinks she can afford to hold up the reputation. Bob Maxwell bequeaths his all-around ability to his successor Russell Oliver. Richmond Morcom leaves a memory of the famous Morcom clan. Gladys Reynolds bequeaths her art of getting along with other people to Louise Bagonzi. Marjorie Scanlan leaves her flying fingers toMilly Plummer to entertain the Senior Class. Rosamond Sherman has decided Jo keep eveiything she has as she feels it can be used to better advantage as a nurse. Big Bill Mitchell bequeaths, to an} ' undernourished Junior, a part of his over abundance of flesh. Natalie Snow leaves her singing ability to Edyth Duquet who found out she needed a new voice when she sang for the hockey squad. Esther Zecchini leaves her gray matter (brains to you) to Glenna Smith who asked for it. Jimmy Fontoni has to keep everything for himself because if anything was taken away from him he wouldn’t be able to be seen. Esther Tibbetts leaves now because she’s afraid they will want her to leave something. In witness whereof, we have hereunto subscribed our names and affixed our seal this sixteenth day of December in the year one thousand nine hundred and thirty-eight. John Stenberg Helen Furlong George Hunter Gloria Frost {42 The Future for the Thirty -Niners I T IS A bright sunny day as we walk along the street to the Braintree Garden clutching in our hands invitations reading: Elmo J. Bregoli of Bregoli, Boyle, and Brown Circus cordially invite you to attend a special reunion of the Class of ’39 at a great free show given in their honor. Be sure to come! As we approach the beautiful Braintree Gardens Building which was donated by multimillionaire William Johnston, and his wife, the former Caroline Albrecht, we see Bob Cusick, the ticket taker, and Jeanne Fowler and Barbara Parker, ticket girls, smiling at us. We decide to stand out front for a while to see what we can see. While we are talking to the special doormen, Lou Howland and Bill Mitchell a car driven by DonWynot, chauffeur, pulls up and the great actress Natalie Snow, and her hard boiled man ager, Don Crispin, alight and slam bump into Bob McSharry and Sherm Drake, news photographers who immediately snap a pic- ture. After they explain that it was an accident, they run after two political leaders, Earl Buker, and Charlie Innis, who have just defeated Dist. Att. Malcolm Walker in a much publicized court trial. The judge was Bob Drummey who is in constant fear of being criticized by Bill Albert, a state official. Time we went inside because there are stockholders, Paul Leth and Alfred Eno, glaring at us. Good idea having girl ushers for we have our choice of Martha Andrews, Leona Vayens, Dot Hedlund and Dot Smith, to find a seat. Oh Boy! Sitting behind us in movie-star, Eleanor DeCoste, with her two body-guards, Bill Hepperle and Bob Hall. She says she is now doing a picture with the great lover, Robert Glover, directed by Joe Guiliano. The owners of her company are Clement and Patsy Avitabile. Woo Woo! The man yelling “Peanuts, popcorn, candy, and chewing gum!” is Dick Cotter who is taking his best friend’s, Guy Robbins, place. Ring-master, John Stenberg, shouts for our attention to a few speeches before the show starts. First the mayor of Braintree, Bob Maxwell, who cannot be heard above the applause, the famous Olympic star Boo Morcom and his buddy, Tom Robinson, who are still as bashful as ever, and Channing Elliot, the great Antartic explorer, with his wife, Mary Bardetti. Walter Clark, author, who still believes there is no Antarctic, looks on scornfully, quite unaware that Angie Degregorio, dress designer, has her eye on him. Bill Perry, Eddie St. Andre, and Warren Hall, bouncers, run down to caution Elliot Spiess who has become over excited in waiting to hear his fellow professor, Carroll Daiute. Ruth Papps, who is said to have the strongest voice in the world expect for Charlotte Kimball who is touring abroad, sings a solo. Howie Hicks who leaned too far over the rail has to be treated for a slight head injury by Dr. Jim Fontoni and his favorite nurse, Louise Gauthier. Now the show begins. First the big parade led by drum-major, Bill Levangie who never drops the baton, and his girl followers, Ruthie Adams, Bertha Gould, and Kay Lane, all dressed in white uniforms. Others are Mary Holton, and Henry Ferguson, talented fancy riders; Olive Hyland and Gail Donovan, lovely tamers; Dot Leet, Bob Adams, Ruthie LaBree and Chubby Hatch, Gloria Frost and Carl Erickson, Ruthie Delory, and Bob Wadsworth, jitter-bug champions of the world who are making a special appearance in the U. S. The first act on the program is the trained dogs directed by Phyllis Kilmain, Anne Watson, and Frannia Clougherty. Then a trapeze act by Gladys Reynolds and George Hunter, after which Dick Haviland and Fred Hart attempt to walk the tight-rope. Fred leans back a little too far and an ambulance driven by Joe La- Croix speeds in but is waved back by Don Copp, circus physician, when he gets his balance. Now the daredevil auto drivers scare us and no one would think they would be Frannie MacCellan and Dot Frazier. Then the snake-charmer, Bobbie Woodbury, who has taken it up as a hobby, and her assistant, Beatrice Levangie. We double up with laughter at the clowns, Ebba Larmey, and Tony Ferranti. Dot Bushman, the truant officer, goes running after two stray school children. Now Virginia Heal, assisted by Peggy Crossman, who is substituting for her sister Betty, who recently sailed for Europe to be a missionary, show off their trained seals. Sybil Graves and Virginia Proverb, members of the S. P. C. A., toll Ollie Walsh, owner of the act, that it is too cruel. Next the Great Rivoire, the only woman to do five complete somersaults in the air, attended by Dot Farrell and Dot Johnson, beautiful show girls. Andy Furlong rushes out to see if the ropes are okay, while Bill Bates and Ed McDonough, official net-holders, do their duty. She succeeds, cheered on by two ardent admirers, and ex-trapeze artists, Rose Gagne and Eleanor Bean. Harriet Small, photogra- pher, snaps a picture. After this we marvel at Eleanor Goodearl, Ethel Bates, and Mary Tantillo, tumblers, It is announced that after the show a dinner will be served by Helen Holmes, Edna Lewis, and Phyllis Traverse, our best cooks. They have hired as waiters, Chub Hamilton, Buster Creswell, and Walter Worth. On the entertainment program after the dinner are some acts planned by Eleanor Hanson, an expert. They are: Specialty dance by Josephine Bregoli, violin duet by Vera Cardarople and Frannie Rinaldi, blues song by Aggie Hall, recitation, “The Mercy Speech,” by Earnie Steffen, dramatic selection by Jim Kjellander and Florence Smith, and a trumpet solo by Bob Dominick. Grace will be said by Rev. Francis Coyle and our master of ceremonies will be Richie Allen. The hostesses are Evelyn Williamson, and Rowena Wilson. We are told to see chorus girls, Anne Chafe and Elsie Lavoie, for menus. Now back to the show and Evelyn Ferguson and Rita Smith with their trained elephants. Marion Tobin, who is a research worker for the Braintree Zoo, gives notes to her secretary, Margie McSharry, while Dot Cahoon, rival worker for the Weymouth Zoo trains her opera glasses on Marion’s notes and whispers to assistants, Phyllis Pratt and Virginia Winslow. Barbara Wilkinson and Lil Roe- blad, now of Braintree’s social set, watch scornfully as Rusty Pendoley and Tony Merritt, reporters for the Braintree Bugle, do not ask them for an interview but keep their eyes on Mr. and Mrs. Bud Johnson (formerly Myrtie Carpenter) and Mr. and Airs. Pete Rose (formerly Pauline Ott) who have the best seats in the house in order to see Pearl Nash, lady sword swallower, and Anne Urquhart, the fortune teller. Attention is taken from them when Althea Riley, Millie McMakin, and Priscilla Thayer start on the tight-rope on bicycles. Priscilla falls and her husband, John Hudson, faints and has to be carried to his car by his business partner, Danny Sullivan. However, we are cheered up by the chariot race with Arlene Gillis, Elinor Cain, and Phyllis Cocozella as drivers. Grace Luisi and Frances Lamb, professional {U betters, cheer in loud tones. At this point our ring-master drops from exhaustion and has to be replaced by Bob Mace who suggests a few more speeches. Virginia Farrell and Millie Chambers, comediennes, amuse us with a funny speech, then Bill Trainor, coach of Braintree’s undefeated football team tries to explain why his team is a winner while Mac McLean, the line coach, shivers for fear he’ll have to speak. Siggie Ohrstrom, dean of Mr. Jordan’s College, and Helen Furlong, dean of Chiesa’s School for Girls, talk a bit on education. Bill Wheeler promptly falls asleep and dreams of his secretary while Bill Ewing, a tutor, listens intently. Sam Polio, big league pitcher, has been trying to get the attention of Jimmie Welch, also famous on the ball field, and now they are shaking hands in the aisle much to the disappointment of Marion Keigan, still an old maid, who thought Sam winked at her. Now the great moment has arrived when Ed Robinson will be shot out of the cannon. All is silent as his fiancee, Annette Altobelli, kisses him and tells him not to forget their appointment with the preacher, Rip Payne, after the act. With a flourish Josie Rogers, his helper, pulls the lever, and with a bang he soars through the air to land at the feet of Jean White who screams for her boy friend, Dick Tonner, a carpenter and amateur boxer. Rosamond Sherman, Mary Stevenson, and Barbara Moynihan, telephone operators get up to leave but are urged to stay by JoeMoschella and Pete Griggs, gamblers, who are only after the girls’ money. The ice-cream girl, Margie Scanlon, chases Mr. and Mrs. Coleman Farring- ton (Dot Mason) who have forgotten to pay her. Arlene Veno and Marguerite Malone, social secretaries to society woman, Betty Smith, try to snub Stella Remick who is only a waitress. On our way out we see as coming attractions : Helen Nilson in “The Loves of Mrs. McKean,” a story based on the life of Margie Briand, and song writer, Georgie. Also swing queen, Kathleen Junkins, and her accompanist, Cassie Griffin, the dancing team of Mattson andMamelian (Bob and Nevart), and the great dramatic actress, Marion Scudder. Esther Zecchini and Ruth Sheed, teachers, come rushing in only to find the show all over. They say, “Wait until we get that sales clerk, Esther Tibbetts, for telling us the wrong time. Jane Flannigan begins to laugh rather loudly and is poked in the ribs by her etiquette teacher, Doris Delaney, also private teacher of Bob Orall, high pressure salesman. We now get our coats from hat-check girls, Jeanette Rogers, Hazel McRae, and Edythe MacLaughlin. After trying in vain to get a date with them we make haste toward the dining room for our dinner, happy in the thought that we have seen most of our old school chums again.

Who of us knows what will befall him once he is out in that world? Will he be a success or will he be a failure? That is the big question. It must be remembered that success does not necessarily mean money. There are other kinds of suc- cess. The great doctors and scientists who endure many hardships, such as those who go to Labrador or to leper colonies or to other such places certainly have no money to show for their experiences but they have success as they see it. These men went by our class motto “He conquers who endures.” Though they didn’t express it in that fashion, they used the thought behind the words. A youth leaving school today has great optimism. He feels that he will succeed. Sooner or later this optimism will be somewhat dimmed due to many things. When optimism begins to fade, that is the time when endurance will be needed. If he keeps on trying and enduring he is bound to have some measure of success whether or not he recognizes it as such. In past years, a graduate from high school had many positions to choose from. Now, due somewhat to the chaotic business conditions, youth cannot find employment as easily. He must seek diligently, answer advertisements, go to agencies, and even call on people where there is the slightest possibility of em- ployment. An opportunity is all any graduate wants. The ordeal that any be- ginner has to face is the fact that he has had no experience but needs a chance to prove himself. If a student has the opportunity to go to college it would be well worth his while to avail himself of that privilege. Now is the time for skilled workers and the more education a person has the better equipped he will lx 1 to meet competition. The student who goes to college may not have as many discouraging ex- periences to face now as has his classmate who enters the business world, but after a few years of further study and another graduation he will lie facing the same situation as the youth of today, and it will behoove him to remember the thought of his class motto “He conquers who endures.” Whether a student goes to college or into the business world there are new things he will have to meet and conquer. If he goes to college there will be the dormitory life that will be new to most. There are rules to be obeyed and responsibilities that were missing at home. In the business world, there is that new person, the employer, and probablyother people who have to In 1 obeyed. { 65 There will be things in college or at work that will have to be done, whether or not they are to his liking. In order for some students to go to college, parents often sacrifice a great deal to give their children a chance they did not have themselves. It is really an obligation for those students to succeed. In that case both the parents and children endure so that the children will conquer. Wherever he goes or whatever he does, it is up to the individual whether or not he will succeed. If he is a failure he can blame no one but himself. He may say the work didn ' t suit him, or the men picked on him, or the boss did not like him, but if you get down to the basic truth, he could not endure so he did not conquer. Sometimes there are those who are physically handicapped. They should not give up for there is always something that they can do. There are probably opportunities just waiting for them if they would try to find them. They probably can not do the manual work but they can often supply the ideas to be carried out by others. Endurance will be needed by everyone who is to succeed but it will rarely be the same for any two persons, for there are different circumstances in all classes of society. Nevertheless those who meet adverse conditions bravely, overcome all obstacles, and can “greet the world with a smile” are those who have observed our motto “He Conquers Who Endures.” ■{ 66 )■ A CONTRAST Marjorie Briand September G, 1935 Who’s that walking slowly up the walk, the front walk at that; excited, half-frightened, bewildered? Why it’s just a child, a “frosh.” He stops now and gazes admiringly at a senior who passes without even seeing him. The little boy’s thoughts rush ahead of him. “(Gee! He’s that swell football player. I wonder if . . . but no, I could never play a game of football like he does.”) Slowly he finds his way to the corridor of the first floor and seeks a corner from which he watches students of all sizes and shapes go by all noise and laughter. Strangely enough he imagines they are joking about him. In other words, he has what is commonly known as an inferior- ity complex. Gradually, with courage, he makes his way to the list of names. Yes, his name is among two hundred and fifty-five others with home room numbers beside them. A strange feeling comes over him as he realizes that he is a part of this great building, a very small part, yet — a part. June 24, 1939 Who’s the youth who walks so straight down the aisle, full of self- confidence with the I-could-lick-the- world look? Yes, there he walks so proud now, no longer a child, a man. Could four short years make such a difference? Why shouldn’t he be proud? He was one of the best football players the school had ever seen. That was just one dream that was realized. He’s graduating as one of the one hundred and sixty-five who made the grade. Seven inches have been added to his height and twenty-five pounds to his weight. He’s the big shot now but far behind it all the heart must be the same. May he enjoy his high hopes, for very soon the eyes of experience will be looking down upon him and once more he’ll be just a “frosh.” SOMETHING EASY TO REMEMBER Robert Maxwell The shirts from the backwoods, The continuous change of hair styles, The jokes in the locker rooms, The hilarious Senior Show, Our “butchered” basketball boys, The gunners on our football team which mowed down Weymouth, The satisfactory awakening from a nightmare of the white slips worth $2, $1, $.50 and “Vogue,” The Class Day, Our indifference to being Seniors, Our bountiful banquet, The sudden acceleration of time in our last year, And all the “other things.” Oh, yes, those four years in high school. Wow! •{ 67 AUTHORS ALL Mary Holton Just as every book on the library shelf represents the literary labor of a particular individual, so does every volume of education on the shelves of success represent the striving of an am- bitious student. Many an author’s sustenance relies wholly on the books he writes, and likewise our own moral and physical sustenance is a product of the imaginary volumes we build on our learning. It is possible for the work- ing author to exhaust the dividends his book reaps for him, but can we exhaust the inestimable profits of ours? No, never. We live on this one collection of bound leaves for the rest of our lives, and abundant lives we lead. Education has been given the follow- ing definitions: “All the efforts and activities which help to prepare us for a more complete life”; and “The syste- matic development of the natural pow- ers, by inculcation and example.” The first illuminates our foregoing thought, while the latter, seemingly more exact, mentions the “natural powers” which constitute the binding of our book. For anything we under- take is bound by various limits, and like- wise our educational endeavor must be limited in accordance with our God- given powers. This binding sheathes the leaves of our schooling. Our fly leaves may represent our pre-school period in which we gain knowledge of things about us. Our title page we draw up ourselves for this is the appelation, so to speak, of our future. The preface is a composition of destiny, because at this point in glanc- ing through our book, only Fate knows what is to follow. Next comes the index. In short, this is a composite key of ourselves, and the key to our volume. Our chapters are determined perhaps by the grades we approach, experience, and pass. Each of these divisions stores for reference the knowledge we obtain there. There may be any number of them, since no one ever stops learn- ing. However, the material in these pages will differ, not only in comparison with other people’s, but in themselves. As in any novel we will find an opening situation; a rise in action, in our case, achievement; a climax (are we not there now?) ; a decline, in our case very gradual; and finally a closing, which doesn’t really occur after we finish our schooling, for adults are constantlv learning. However, if we desire to finish our book before life’s cessation we must leave fly-leaves in da capo fashion. Now that our manuscript is written we must take it to a good publisher. There is, however, only one. He is God. He will publish this fruit of our labor, and it is He who will place it or the shelf of success. And now, we bid you, dear reader, to write a book of your own and have it placed on the shelf beside ours. { 68 THE FLAG Malcolm Walker It was late one sultry afternoon in late summer. The last of the visitors to Fort Dowd were passing out the exit by the little guard house and col- lecting their cameras which Uncle Sam does not allow to be taken into his fortifications. Private Dubee, who was on guard because he had broken some of the standing laws of the garrison, was standing outside the little guard house. A foreign looking couple walked up to him, eyeing him suspiciously. They questioned him as to why he was on guard. Private Dubee was down on everything this tlay and when Mr. Brown, as the man had introduced him- self, said he had a proposition that might interest him, he became very attentive. Mr. Brown went on, “We represent a certain person who would be very in- terested in some of the details of the fort which only you could obtain. We will make it well worth your while. Of course I know this is a big decision and we will give you until tomorrow after parade to decide.” Never before had such a proposal been made to Private Dubee. He was stunned. He had heard of these people and what they were doing, but to think that they should pick on him. He was unable to speak and with a final word of encouragement, the couple left, just as the new guard detail came into view down the road. Private Dubee was in a fog the rest of the day. In four hours, when he went on guard again, he let three men slip through without passes and he didn’t make the slightest attempt to stop them. His mind was too busy on a much greater decision. All the next day lie kept thinking about t his decision. He felt that lie was being punished unjustly. He was ready to go to almost any extreme for revenge for what was being done to him. During parade that evening he stood with the other members of the old guard as they stood by the side of the parade field and watched the regi- ment pass in review. When Old Glory was carried past the reviewing stand a strange tingling ran up and down his spine, but he paid no attention to it. He saw Mr. Brown waiting for him over by the flag pole. After the parade was over and the regiment had marched back towards the barracks the band again took up its position on the right of the parade field and waited for the next ceremony to start. The new guard marched up on the field, a squad at a time. Every- thing was timed perfectly. No one made a slip. “It certainly is an inspiring sight,” thought Private Dubee who was still watching with the old guard. After inspection and review the new guard passed in front of the old and took up its position next to them. While standing at “present arms,” the color guard marched before both guard details. Again Private Dubee sensed that strange feeling along his spine. Suddenly he realized what that flag stood for, the Revolution, the Civil War, and the World War, and all the little important battles in between. He realized that men had sacrificed their lives to make his country a safe place to live in. And here he was with an idea of betraying his country to these people who certainly would put the knowledge to no good use. lb ' was surprised at himself, disgusted with •{ 69 himself for ever letting such a thought enter his head. When the guard change was over Private Dubee w T as free for the rest of 1 he evening. He saw Mr. Brown waiting expectantly for him. He made a sign to him that could be translated as “Wait a minute, I’ll be right with you.” Private Dubee was quite correct when he said right with you. When the new guard marched down the street in the direction of Mr. Brown, he thought it was just starting out to post the guard. In reality it was coming to get him. He was arrested right there and enough evidence was found on him to insure his being a guest of the government for quite a long term at Atlanta. Private Dubee was applauded for his deed and became Corporal Dubee. But Dubee ’s real satisfaction came in his w T ork and not in the promotion. He loved his country and flag and would always go on loving them. GIRL AT THE TELEPHONE Thomas Robinson “Hello, hello!” shouted the fireman on the engine house end of the telephone in answer to a long ring. “Hello!” came back the voice of Ruthie Adams. “Is this the fire sta- tion?” “Yes, what is it?” “Well, I want to inform you that my yard runs right up to the walk of the house next door ...” “I guess you must have the wrong number, ma’am.” “You said this was the fire station, didn’t you?” “Yes, but ...” “Well, I w r ant to say that I’m trying very hard to raise a respectable yardful of grass and have lately planted grass seed as far as the w r alk next door. Then beside the grass seed, I had it all tidied up and made ready for planting bulbs, and . . .” “I say ma’am, you are mistaken in the telephone number. This ...” “Isn’t this the fire station?” “It is, but ...” “Very well. Now, I w ant to say further that however careless our neigh- bors are with their garden, w r e are very much the other w r ay. In fact, a pretty lawn, adorned with a variety of flow r ers, is what we are looking forward to next season, and we want our yard to appear as well, clear up to the sidewalk next door, as is possible to have it. Why, I wouldn’t any more allow r a person to step on my grass seed or . . .” “For gosh sake, ma’am, w r hat has this to do with the fire station?” “Oh, well, I w ' ant to inform you that our house is No Street, and the house next door is on fire. Nowq don’t let your firemen trample . . .” But the fireman had dropped the receiver. { 70 SENIORS ON PARADE While passing the portals of “deah ole” Braintree High, a casual observer may be a bit amazed as he sees the walls of this famous place of learning bulging somewhat. The basis of this is caused by a few jitterbugs” from 105. Bob “Tubby” Hatch, who has high hopes of being counted a senior when graduation comes, leads the way. His motto is “Swing and Scratch with Harry Hatch.” The passerby decides he will investigate this haven of education. On entering, the first thing he sees is the famous piece of tonsorial architecture, better known as a “butch.” Mac McKean, Tom Robinson, Boo Morcom, Tubby Hatch, Swede Erickson, Bill Trainor, and Chubby Hamilton are a few boys who sport this latest-styled hair-do. The fair sex resents this type of coiffure to some extent as they feel the boys are trying to have their hair-do equal that of the girls. The poor passerby who has entered to get a look at a slice of the class is en- countered by the Three Musketeers, Olive, Ruthie, and Gail, who supply much information to the observer about the so-called seniors. It is rumored, by those who know, that Tubby Hatch has taken up horseback riding. Nobody seems to know the reason but many suspect it is to acquire the part of Jesse James in the recent movie production. Bill Trainor says that rumor has it that Chub Hamilton will forsake his favorite pastime this spring, baseball. Many deny this rumor but why, Bill wants to know, is he seen running from South Braintree to points farther East? The logical reason is that he’s practicing for the half-mile or mile this spring. A senior of the fairer sex is the next topic of conversation, Glady Reynolds. Who in this class or any other class doesn’t know Glady? Who in this class has more pep, good looks, wisecracks, and good suggestions, than Glady? Glady, incidentally has been seen sport- ing the sport jackets of Boo Morcom, last of the famous Morcoms. What senior, when talking of senior personalities, could forget or disregard Bud Johnson? Bud is the famous “iron man” of the football team and a main- stay on the baseball team for three years and has Bud got a voice? Woo-woo! He can sing anything from Pagliacci to Shadrack. Now the casual observer learns about a senior who, for four years, has become the butt of jokes, without his knowing it. He brought the school down with his famous vocalizing of “Santa Claus is Coming to Town.” Could ya guess? Yowsah, yowsah, it’s that demon lover, that exquisite specimen of sheer mascu- linity, that wild woolly devil of the senior class, Eliot Spiess. And speaking of singing, who, in Bill Trainor’s home- room, could forget his famous rendition of “Hark the Herald Angels Sing” a la Benny Goodman, when Miss Evans handed him a brand new pencil for Xmas. The poor visitor is blinded as Donald Clark, the Clark Gable of B. H. S., non- chalantly slouches along the corridor, the tails of his black and green hunting shirt floating in the breeze. His pants are rolled up displaying a pair of orange and purple socks and a pair of slightly discolored saddle shoes. This kind of dress is common for the Casanovas of the senior class. Oi Epilogue Now we close these ancient covers, We have pondered about the past, We have brought back the hallowed memories That will ever, ever last. So swiftly the years sweep past us, So quickly our friends grow old, But we’ll always possess recollections They’ll always stand out so bold.
