SULLIVAN IRVING JACOBS Business Manager Assistant Manager Pre ident, Address It is with a spirit of deep thankfulness that, in behalf of the Class of 1940, I bid you welcome to our Class Day. For two hundred young people to be assembled on a beautiful June day to commemorate the pleasant passing of their high school course means to be living in a land at peace. To our parents, grandparents, or more remote forebears to whom we owe our birth in such a country we are most grateful. To our principal and our teachers, who have taught us the ideals upon which America has been built and Whose examples, as well as instruction, has encouraged our loyalty to the principles for which Amer- ica stands, We are equally grateful. It is 1940, a year of world warg yet we in America can still partake of tradi- tional joys. We, Classical High School students, about to be graduated can, as every class for ninety-five years has done before us, spend a happy afternoon of remi- niscence. And so to our Class Day Exercises I welcome you, our friends, our faculty, and our parents. Thirteen Class Histor jecume ilu-'zman Way back in the September of 1936, the sun was shining brightly on the boys and girls entering Classical High as students for the first time. lnside in the assembly hall they nervously seated themselves, eagerly anticipating the new adventure of high school. The older, more experienced upper classmen unashamedly stared at this new crop of students, and in turn were stared back at by these same awe-stricken and rather sheepish persons. But as we see now what has happened, why should they have been either awe-stricken or sheepish? If those lordly seniors, haughty juniors, and wise sophomores had only known, we were the Class of 1940. Proudly, yet with our customary modesty, we say that ours has indeed been an unusual class. lt was in our freshman year that we were called in the Argus by the upperclassmen ua class with radical demandsf' Although every class which has en- tered Classical in the last few years has suggested that the cafeteria be renovated, or that some kindly soul give us a new gym, we were not content to make these time- honored suggestionsg we went further, and asked that instead of the much-talked- about elevator for the over-burdened students, We might have escalators. And about this same time Haskell Grodberg first strode into the limelight by winning the C.H.S.D.A. Declamation Contest, in spite of the fact that he was a fresh- man in competition with experienced seniors, juniors, and sophomores. Joe Sherman early showed his great talent as a comedian and as a lover when he played the part of Sleepy in the uCount and the Co-edf, ln the field of sports Mariana Johnson was our chief bid to fame. She had the distinction of being the only freshman who played on the varsity basketball team. All in all, we had a very enjoyable and successful year. We patronized, as all Fourteen -CQ assfc Oflflyfhs freshman do, the athletic events, the musical presentations, and the dramatic produc- tions. And as .lune drew on, our inner and our outer school spirits were flying high. Witli such a start, we began our journey to sophomoredom. This was the real beginning of our active part in school affairs. Robert Simonian won the first prize in the C.H.S.D.A. Oratorical Contest, the second member of our class in two years to win this honor. Then, too, Richard Stearns and Haskell Grodberg secured position as editors on the Argus, which from then on gave our class a share of the school publicity. Shall we ever forget the strange joy that Hooded our senses when we saw our names in print? Suppose the story as written up in the magazine was not correct, or even sup- pose it had never happenedl What did that matter when our names stood out in bold, black print for all the world to see? Then there came into the public eye a young man who showed unusual promise. This was Sid Stayman who tied the record for the 220 yard dash. Billy Connor for his splendid work in football was named a player on the inter-high football team, It was this year that we got our bearings. Now that there was another class of freshman, we lost our gaucherie and became more confident and poised individuals. This year we dared to say what we thought lit was Emersonis Nlfssay on Self-Re liancew that encouraged usl and we even saw the imperfections in the seniors and juniors. We were just beginning to know Classical at this period, to appreciate its traditions, and to love its comfortable antiquity when we passed to the eventful stage of jolly juniors. After a long and interesting vacation we returned to Classical, bent on making good records by zealously applying ourselves to our work. But before We had had much time to see our wishes fulfilled, Nature stepped in in the form of a hurricane. Thus it was that in the afternoons of September 1938 to April 1940 We took up resi- dence at North. Fifteen Glassic Qqflyflzs. This new setting had both its advantages and its disadvantages. We stayed up late, slept even later, and did our homework still later. One lesson, however, that we learned well was that there are two forces which can neither be hurried or overcome: Nature, and the people who were to fix our building. . Though we were handicapped by both time and room, we began our year well when both Pat Thurston and Mariana Johnson won berths on the all city hockey team. The boys too came through for Classical by winning the interhigh football crown. Also, the relay team composed of O'Leary, Abbot, Gibbs, and our Sid Stay- man as anchor man broke the record for the relay in the State meet. When the dramatic club presented Spring Fever,'7 we saw Vlfally Tisdell, Philip Greer, and Leonard Israel providing high spots of the evening. With June came graduation. This year we felt differently about that event, hitherto its remoteness from us had painted the picture with romance and adventure. Now we sadly viewed graduation as people who would themselves experience it the next time. But we joyfully realized that we still had one more year when Betty French and Richard Stearns were called to the stage to receive the Aletheia and Harvard Book Prizes as outstanding members of the junior class. When school closed that year, we were fondly contemplating the thought that next year we should be seniors. We said good-bye to North, but not for long, because the following September saw us. busily back at work in the role of supreme seniors. This year we went to work in earnest, with the grim forms of College Boards and certificate grades forever haunting us. We had two uthree lettern men in our class this year, Billy Connors, captain of the football team and co-captain of the baseball team, and Benny Zecker, captain of the basketball team and co-captain of the baseball team. Classical has indeed been blessed with athletes, as was evidenced by those two boys and Sid Stayman, Gene Dalrymple, John Sutkus, Paul Bestick, and Tony Neverdauskus. Sixteen CQ assfc Cyylyflts We had never been organized as a class before, and so we chose class ofiicers for the first time. Billy Connors was elected president, Betty French vice-president, Mar- jorie Lovell secretary, and Ray Peterson treasurer. About this time we said a final goodbye to North and returned to Classical bag and baggage. The thought that was uppermost in everyone's mind was that a change is good for everybody, but there is still no place like home. We broke a precedent this year when we chose beside our regular class day speakers two class marshals, Jimmy Horgan and Mary Darling. There was every reason for us to be proud of Haskell Grodberg when he won the Massachusetts Oratorical Contest. This year the Green Room Club's presentation was exceptionally good. Danny Breen as the hero of uBroken Dishesfl along with Barrett Lonstein, Leonard Israel, Violet Griliiths, Richard Stearns, and Franklin Silverman gave us many hilarious moments. As we end our high school career these notes will perhaps show what type of class we have been. We owe innumerable debts of gratitude and thousands of pardons to our thoughtful teachers. We are glad to be back in this building surrounded by familiar objects and persons, for we see now more clearly than we ever have what a wonderful institution Classical is. Seventeen The Con titution and il Changing World mfhis Constitution for the United States of Aniericaw was the result not of theoretical doctrines or natural desire, of spontaneous determination or continued prosperity, but of a struggle against the consequences of mistakes, of trial, of dis- appointment and pain, of the stern lessons of experience. MWe the People sought to form ua more perfect Union because we had experienced the disadvantages of disuniong we longed to establish justicen and uinsure domestic tranquillityn because we had felt the lash of tyranny and had endured armies in our midst in times of peace, we desired to Mprovide for the common defense and 'gpromote the general welfarew because we had been forced to realize that the prime interest of us all was the same, indeed, the dread rumblings of anarchy were close at hand when the repre- sentatives of the people gathered to try Mto secure the blessingsa' of their hard-won liberty. It was at such an unhappy time that our forefathers had to establish a new form of government in whose eyes all men should be equal-and the only predeces- sors to guide them Were unsuccessful attempts of others, a few gleamings from Roman legal philosophy, and some maxims from the English law which they had so recently found oppressive. Wlell did they know what a mighty task would be the founding of such a government, and they knew, too, that if it proved unsuccessful and short-lived it would be, as Alexander Hamilton said, udisgraced and lost among ourselves, dis- graced and lost to mankind foreverf, Yet, summoning to the task not only all their intellectual brilliance, but remarkable courage, patriotism, and understanding, in the words of James Beck, wllhis people, without shedding a drop of blood, calmly and deliberately abolished one government, substituted another, and erected it upon foun- dations which have hitherto proved enduring. The quality of our great document is made still more amazing when we realize how few have been the changes in its original articles during the more than one hun- dred fifty years of its existence. Only the method of electing President and Senators, and the time of the meetings of Congress have been changed, the powers of Congress have been altered merely to permit the levying of an income tax, while stateis au- thority has been varied only as regards the right of suffrage and the Supreme Court's prerogative to prevent seizure of ulife, liberty, or property without due process of lawf' But the very fact that this production has survived practically in its original form tends to make us forget that the hardships, the difficulties of maintaining it many times were as great as those of creating it. Let us again recall that it had to Eighteen Q assi c Ofnyfhs guide a nationis growth across a continent, and, with this accomplished, was threatened by enticements of gold and power. Not without good cause did Clarence McCartney cry, '4Empire and military glory lure us on, but above their siren songs I hear voices of the past crying to us from across the ages. From dungeons, from martyrs' stakes, from all the battlefields that scar man's upward path, countless voices acljure us to be faithful to our trustf, Let us remember that the Constitution had to accept into its fold peoples from many lands with many differences, and the fact that it did so suc- cessfully demonstrates the universality of its nature. Let us recollect the menace of the growth in strength of the Second United States Bank until the question actually arose whether this organization or the government was the more powerful. And we must remember that in destroying slavery and surviving nullification the Constitu- tion suffered the saddest test it could possibly undergoefa bloody Civil War, and, following this plunge into the depths, it weathered the rough waves of reconstruction. And yet, not weakened, but wiser and stronger from its misfortunes, this beacon has led its people to a position of unparalleled prestige and unequalled glory in the history of nations. But what was it,-one may well inquire,fwhat was it the founding fathers had learned from their experiences that enabled them to produce this living code? What was it Jackson and Lincoln and all the great succeeding leaders perceived that em- powered them to preserve this supreme law of the land? What is the reason this form of government has survived while others have risen and fallen? The answer is a simple one. Our chiefs were aware of a great truth. They recognized that secular rights are derived from spiritual rights. Taking their cue from the teachings of religion, they asserted in the Declaration of Independence that all men are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that to secure these rights governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governedf' So it was that the Constitution was made to begin with the words ive the Peoplew when it could quite easily have had as its commencement 'aWe the Statesfi Thus it was that the American Bill of Rights was made to end with the words, MThe powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states, respectively, or to the people? Herein lies the great- ness of the American form of government. The Constitution not only has a body-it has a soul! Yet to-day, l fear, the Constitution faces its sternest trial. From without, we be- hold raging about us hatred, tyranny, and war. ln nations throughout the world, for the sake of false hopes of economic security, men have sacrificed their most precious possession-personal liberty. Dangerous doctrines of classes and masses have arisen, and here lies the threat to America. ln our very midst there are some who would abolish the guardian of the Constitution, the Supreme Court, there are others who fC0ntinzLed on Page 3U Nineteen, We, the Classical class of '40, Being both healthy and sane, And no longer seniors proud and haughty, But graduates, would fain Leave to posterity and our friends Our possessions great and small, 'fStuff we've collected as means to ends Or any old junk at all. To number our many belongings, We fear, ls a task beyond the ken Gf any but mediums or seers, For each of us ladies and men Has property he or she desires To leave behind, or forget, And acquaintances who to wealth aspire, Through us may reach it yet.

Classical students with nothing to shave Are left a Clark Cable moustache, By one Sidney Blyden, he must have been hraveg It'll add to their glamor and dash. When Billy Howard runs out of gas, Here's something he'll really like. Franny Palmer's the benefactress, She leaves a racing bike. They're stuffing Sofas with real hair now, The latest crop, it is. The upholsterers rub their hands, and howl ,Cause ,lankelson left them his. All of the fellows, who really believed They'd always be thin, feel great. From Jim Melekian they've received A bequest of half his weight. To two deserving glamor boys, I mean two men-'bout-town-ey, Two flashy Packards, quite some toys, From Bonibicino and Downey. Tom Cawley leaves a box of weeds, They're evil smelling smokes, And just what Walt McCarthy needs To fumigate his jokes! To the fellows who want to 'chit the beatf, Who as dancers wish to rank, Co the stepping, twinkling, prancing feet Of 'flitterbug ,loew LeBlanc. McCann, the fellow without the hair, Leaves his come-hither glance, His careless, gay, romantic air, To dubs in sweet romance. Walt Rocejwicz never took a test, Many have heard him say, He'd leave to fellows who needed the rest, His weekly holiday. Now individual gifts are done, VVe've reached another part, And the whole class joins as one To leave with all its heart, To underclassmen, live full hours Of torture every day. Only a superman has the powers To last until Saturday. Let's not forget our friends, the books We've studied during our lives, WC,1'6 leaving them to dusty nooks ln Smithsonianis old archives. And now we write more seriously, Our next gifts are sincere, They go to all the faculty, Our teachers without peer. To Mr. Fenner our many thanks For counsel he gave as a rule. We didnlt know then how each of us banks On a friend for help in school. We leave to instructors our gratitude too, For knowledge and facts we shall use. We have gained so much that we never knew, Erudition Weill never lose. To Classical high, our school, we leave- But that word will never do! Not one of us can help but cleave To our Alma Mater truel Though the building is but an inani- mate thing, There's a spirit within its halls. Throughout its familiar corridors ring Echoes of friendly footfalls- We give, let us say, our undying love. Our loyalty and our devotion, To Classical High-deserving of Our genuine emotion. The will is done, sealed is our doom, We name as executors, Those lawyers of the boiler room, Charles and Andrew, our janitors. Signed, DONALD W. BAKER, Testalor. America: eutral ation aRLcPLaftdbP,tea1m4 It is strange to think that the theme of a graduation twenty-five years ago might well have been the same as ours today, America in a World at Warf' It almost makes one wonder if war is, after all, the natural state of the world, since, in spite of all that has been said or done against war in the last quarter of a century, here we are in the middle of another one, and one which promises to be even more cataclysmic than any that has come before. Yet to say that War is the natural state of the World is tantamount to admitting that man is still at the level of the brute beast, and this I cannot believe. That the world will eventually emerge from the present catastrophe, strengthened and bettered in many ways, I do believeg and I think that America will play a dominant role in this world reconstruction. To do this, however, America must preserve her traditions and institutions, and to preserve them she must remain neutral, maintain her defenses, be ready to extend a helping hand wherever one is needed, foster her humanitarian ideals, and always be guided by the spirit of her Constitution. Neutrality, that phase of America's policy which I shall take up, is divided by many into two parts, neutrality of thought and neutrality of deed. The iirst cannot be controlled by anyone. All we can do is to try to make people be reasonable, to try the best we know how to prevent them from being swayed by their emotions. The second is subject to control. Through its Neutrality Act, our government can and does see that we do nothing to provoke any belligerent, so far as is consistent with national honor. It is this. neutrality that we must bend our efforts to maintaining, that we may in the end be in a position to play our rightful part in reconstruction. The war is both helping and hindering the United States in many ways. It has shut oii a great deal of the world to American ships and American citizens. It has given us an ever-present fear that our blood may again be shed in the senseless quar- rels of other nations. It has made almost certain a great depression after the end of the fighting. But the war is accompanied by a few advantages, of which we should try to make the most. There has been a slight boom in certain businesses, a boom Twenty-two Q assi c Cynyfhs which in time will probably increase, thus benefiting, either directly or indirectly, the whole nation, although the benefits will probably not be lasting. lVlost important, perhaps, it has given the United States an opportunity to consolidate her relations with South America and to prove to the other American republics that the United States is no giant of the North, out to Fill her purse at the expense of others, but rather a big sister, ready to help as a big sister should. These advantages and disadvantages carry with them certain duties, duties which America must perform if she is to be accorded her rightful recognition after the war. First, we have a duty to ourselves. We must not allow ourselves to be dragged into this War without making sure that our intervention, if it comes, will not turn out to be as meaningless as it was in 1917. We must also strive to oust all bitterness from our minds, that we may not give way to that rancor which has done its share in pre- cipitating this crisis. Second, we have a duty to the belligerents, both those we favor and those we do not. lt is up to us to treat both alike, having due regard, however, to the manner in which they treat us. Third, we have a duty to the other neutrals. Since we are the largest and most powerful neutral nation in the world, the smaller coun- tries will look to us for an example and for protection, in so far as is possible, of the few rights of neutrals. Most especially we shall have the Western Hemisphere to look after, coming, as it does, under the Monroe Doctrine. Finally, we have a duty to the world at large. The United States will have to act as the repository of all culture and as the guardian of all those liberties which have been lost in Europe and in Asia, so that after the war is over civilization will have a tangible foundation upon which to rebuild. Twenty-thief America: Her lletenses ffffzbziey, Claim The innumerable horrors of warfare as we see it today make us think seriously about the defenses of our United States. It is true that our material defenses are good as far as they go, but we need more in both the army and the navy. The President, in a recent speech, pointed out that our army and navy and their respective air corps do not compare in size or quality with the corresponding defenses of the principal belligerents, and that, even though they are sufficient for use as a police patrol, they are not adequate for defense in war. Responsible men in the army and navy have realized this need for a long time, and now the American people also see its im- portance. A stepping stone between material defenses and those less tangible is our Federal Bureau of Investigation. Clever agents uncover and thwart plans against our im- portant plants and our government by discovering foreign spies and investigating their plans. During the last World War United States munitions plants were blown up by spies, but we know that more serious dangers would have developed if we had had no Secret Service agents. How little the general public knows of the activities of this department is revealed in a series of articles appearing in May in the Saturday Evening Post, but the need for secrecy means that often the most important work never is known outside a small group. The exposing of such plots as it is wise to have made known helps to mold public opinion, always a powerful inHuence, against enemies. But a nation needs defenses less obvious, though perhaps not less powerful, than its army and navy, or even its Secret Service. Public opinion, which can be molded by able leadership, by radio, by newspapers, by books, and by magazines, is only one of these. Europe recognizes and, to a degree, respects American public opinion. An excellent foundation for the sound thinking which should govern public opinion is laid by education in our public schools. We are taught that the individual is important, that if each person does the right thing, the nation will. We are shown that a country's interests are furthered more by peace than by war. Repeated ex- amples in history demonstrate that war is expensive and destructive and never leads to security. Future generations have to pay the debts which are incurred by war, re- build the morale which is destroyed by war, and regain the national security which is undermined by war. But they can never restore the lives which are sacrificed in Twenty-four f assw Offflyfhs war. We are loath to see the United States waste energy, money, and lives in futile ways, and are therefore determined to keep her out of unnecessary warfare. Whenever we could do so during our history, we have substituted arbitration for war. Peaceful settlements of disputes with sister republics in the western hemisphere have cultivated good-will and a spirit of co-operation. lf an important matter needs consideration, a conference attended by delegates from all countries concerned is called. The results have been so successful that the United States has found that during recent years it has not had to continue the policy of intervention which it up- held until 1934. We also try to stimulate international co-operation by conducting good-will tours to all parts of the world. Some of them have been made by lesser government officials and peace-loving citizens, but lately presidents and cabinet members have found that on such tours, they become better acquainted with conditions in different countries, and so are helped in making agreements with them. We have formed treaties with many foreign nations to further and protect Amer- ican interestsg but other countries realize that we are not seeking more land or power. We are content with what we have. We are not likely to begin or enter a war unless our present status is interfered with. The fact that nations both of the Old and the New World' realize this constitutes our real defense. ln conclusion, we are not slow to accord due recognition to our army and navy for such security as they can afford us, and We know only too well the necessity for the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the importance of its workg but, in the last analysis, whether in times of war or of peace, we realize that the defense which should be steadily developed is an awakened and sound public opinion governed by an alert and educated intelligence. Twenty-fue America: Friend and teighlior 2 jane Quote Ever since the Pilgrims first set foot upon the shores of New England, America has stood as a refuge for the persecuted peoples of Europe. Here they have been able to find freedom and obtain a new start in life. But today it is not so simple as that. Although many have come over during the past year or two, large numbers of home- less and destitute people of war-torn Europe have been prevented from entering Amer- ica by strict immigration laws and opposition on all sides. This is the time that we, as American citizens, must do all in our power to aid those who are forced to remain in the stricken areas. In this work of help I hardly need mention the oldest and greatest of all relief agencies, the American Red Cross. The most strongly supported organization in this country, it conducts a speedy and remarkably efficient relief campaign wherever and whenever there is disaster. Whether the disaster be fire, hurricane, pestilence, or war, the Red Cross is invariably the first to be called on, the first to respond with money, supplies, and workers. There are, however, many smaller organizations, not so well known, which render valuable assistance to the exiled families of the war zone. Of these, to me the most noteworthy is the American Friends, Service Committee. This agency was founded by the Quakers under the leadership of Rufus Jones during the World War, to prove that, though they refused to fight, the Quakers were not cowards. At once they went into the area of the conHict where, because they represented no government or sect, they were able to carry on an impartial relief program, unhampered. In this second World War they are closely following the same procedure. Their efforts in behalf of the innocent victims have spread throughout Spain, France and Germany, as well as to the Scandinavian countries., and hundreds of Quaker families have opened their own homes to refugee children. This same hospitality was shown last summer by the townsfolk of Bennington, Vermont, who invited some fifty-odd refugee children to spend July and August in their homes. The results were surprisingly satisfactory. The foreign youngsters, well- mannered and appreciative, were quick to show their enthusiasm for the American government, which the young Vermonters had always taken for granted, and gradu- Twenty-six CQ assi c Qfyzyflts ally the youthful hosts began to realize their own good fortune in living in the United States. The experiment was so successful that from it came a proposal by Dorothy Canfield Fisher for the uChildren,s Crusade, a program whereby, during April of 1940, the children of America were given an opportunity to contribute through their schools as many pennies as they were years old for the sole benefit of the exiled boys and girls of Europe. But relief agencies, either here or abroad, can not alone solve all the problems. We must realize that it is our responsibility to extend to them both our moral and financial support. We must maintain a friendly and hospitable attitude towards those who come to us seeking refuge, whatever their race or creed. Often these are men and women whom we may be proud to have, men like Professor Albert Einstein and ex- President Benes of Czeeho-Slovakia, who can give us more than we can give them. The ability and Wide experience of some of our refugees means a rich addition to America's intellectual life. Shall We not, then, as individuals, guarantee our support to the various. relief agencies, in thought, time, and money, and continue to play the part of friend and neighbor to those who so sorely need a friend? Twenty-seven America: Sanctuar of Ideal , gm nge Every person, whether he realizes it or not, has ideals. They are a necessity. They may be either high or low, depending on the individualg but, whatever they are, they do exist in our minds and influence our lives. What a man is is determined largely by his ideals. Ideals are of no less importance to a nation than to an individual. The standards of a nation coincide with those of the majority of its citizens. In the United States we have definite conceptions of right and wrong governed by our inherited beliefs and our consciences. But these conceptions are not narrow. People of many races have brought their spiritual and cultural elements to America. Our endeavors to preserve such national ideals as fair play, integrity, and honor have resulted in such a trust and understanding with Canada, our neighbor to the north, that we need no fortified boundary. Our relations with our southern neighbors, though less perfect, are con- stantly being improved by various means, of which tours of good will and frequent conferences are only two expressions. In fact civilization implies confidence and belief in one's fellow man. All business., all government is based upon the co-operation that this belief involves. But the loss of what one may term the things of the spirit is even greater than the loss of merely cultural elements. Shall we see fit to throw away these as many European nations have done? That they have cast them aside we know by repeated statements which they have made. Dr. Hans Frank, head of the Academy for German Law, told his fellow jurists recently Right is whatever profits a nation, wrong is whatever harms it. Pale phantoms of objective justice do not exist for us any morefn Twenty-eiglz I Cd assfc Cmyfhs To Americans, such ideas as these are abhorrent. When old beliefs and old standards are tottering in the countries. at war, what are we to do? We must cherish these long accepted ideals until the rest of the world again realizes their importance. The present ethical standards in the totalitarian states are so contrary to the commandments of God that both cannot exist. Accordingly, leaders have attempted to crush religion and replace it by the worship of the state. What will happen lo these people? Can man long live without a belief in some power greater than himself? Our forefathers came here for religious. freedomg our whole government has been built on that principle. We in America believe that religion and democracy go hand in hand, that one cannot stand without the other. Protestants, Catholics, and Jews have joined forces to pre- serve those ethical foundations on which our lives must be based. We must preserve courage, hope, tolerance, and faith in man and God not only for ourselves and our nation, but also for the many who have so nearly lost these values in the horror of war. Twenty-nine America: Her Con titution iiadkea 94,0-d5efz,g. It is a lofty purpose and a difficult task under any circumstances for a nation to seek to guarantee to each of its citizens freedom, equality, and justice. ln a day when unbridled hatreds, unsurpassed tyrannies, and ruthless war hold sway in all regions of the world, such a course is doubly difficult. lf America is to hold fast to these prin- ciples for which her patriots- have sacrificed their lives and fortunes, if, at the same time, she intends to remain at peace, to offer a helping hand to victims of oppression, and to be a sanctuary for cultural and spiritual ideals, then truly she must have some pillar of strength to which she can cling. Happily there does exist such a source of hope, and it is close at hand. It has guided this nation through fair and stormy times for one hundred and fifty years. Under its leadership there developed a truly independent state under Washington, a continental state under Jefferson, a forever united state following Lincoln, and the cosmopolitan power of towering prestige and glory of our own day. This pillar, tried and true, is the Constitution of the United States. If ever this constitution was of great value, and if ever the principles for which it stands were bitterly and dangerously assailed, it is now. Freedom of speech, denied in so many lands, it forever preserves for us, And not merely the right to speak our thoughts and to assemble in groups to do so, but to print them and gain for them wide dissemination. Further, it guarantees the right of criticizing its own being: to petition the government for redress of grievances and to amend the Constitution when neces- sary, its forbear, the Declaration of Independence, goes so far as to state that should a government evince a design to establish an absolute despotism, it is not only the right but the duty of the people to throw off such government. From these provisions alone we can see that such a form of government, so zealous in protecting its citizens, can never be compatible with totalitarian ideologies, on the contrary, denying the supremacy of the state, it is the great bulwark, the staunch defender of the rights of the individual. As long as this constitution exists, no American home will ever be forced and plundered by government soldiery, no citizen will be rushed off to con- centration camps, none will be imprisoned at the whim of another individual or under the rules of an unjust law. For the privacy of the home, the right to own private property and engage in private enterprise, a public and impartial trial by jury after Thirty - 1 Qassfc Wnyfhs a valid indictment, and the prohibition of attainder and uafter the facti' laws all are maintained in this great document, Moreover, the people's privilege to defend their rights, even by force, if need be, is acknowledged by the fact that they are insured the right to bear and carry arms. At the same time, ever fearful of all that might give force precedence over reason, the Constitution forbids Congress from making any monetary appropriations for martial purposes for a period greater than two years, thus insuring the supremacy of the civil authority over the military, for' under the Constitution right is still greater than might. Then too, the Constitution, itself deeply religious in tone, guarantees not only the precious right of freedom of religion, but the privileges of the free exercise thereof. This is doubly important when we realize that history has proved that political free- dom cannot long exist without religious freedom, that in our own country the poli- tical freedom which we prize is the natural result of that religious liberty for which our forbears came here to seek. These are the great values that most concern us at this moment. lf they are to be preserved, their protector, our Constitution, must be preserved. Firm in the right as we are given to see the right, let us be eternally vigilant in its defense, so that here, at least, the banner of freedom will yet wave, and government 'cfor the people shall not perish from the earthf' THE CONSTITUTION AND A CHANGING WORLD fffontinued from Page l.9j would destroy the rights of states, the protectors of local government, there are even those who would discard the Constitution itself! But of greater danger than all these is the fact that these widespread, evil influences not only threaten the body of the Constitution but they strike at the very source of our strength: the spirit of the Con- stitution! Again might Patrick Henry declare, uGentlemen may cry, fPeace, Peacel' but there is no peace! The war is actually begun! America, too, is in the midst of a great struggle, and ours is of greater import even than arms. For ours is the war of ideas, the war of ideals. And again, if we fail, all will be 'adisgraced and lost to man- kind foreverwl But we shall not fail. We must not fail. We must remember that because we have kept the Constitution, the Constitution has kept us. O, let us again cast aside petty differences and selfish desires, and, as did our forefathers, summon to our task intel- ligence, courage, patriotism, and understanding. In this dark hour let us heed the words of Abraham Lincoln, so that awe here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under Cod, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth. Thirty-one RICHARD ABBOTT The Model Airplane Club has one of its most enthusiastic members in Dickie. He also be- longs to the Chess, Tiger, and Ilistory Clubs to occupy his spare moments. He looks bashful, but he is one of those Phi Chi men who is seen everywhere. Next year the somber halls of W.P.I. will be brightened by Dick in his green plaid suit. DONALD ABDOW Red is one of those fellows whom everyone knows - though prob- ably even his best friends have never heard him called Donald. His nickname is a natural result of his hair. On the grid he's pretty bright, too, and sports a letter for his versatile playing. And to complete his hilarious high school career, Red was ap- pointed chairman of the Senior Picture Committee. SYLVIA ABRAMOFF This gypsy-like girl sang and danced her way into Classical's heart. She is a star of the Mixed Chorus, and the pride of the Glee Club. She plans to study music at the Boston Conserva- tory next year, and then to go abroad. Everything augurs well for the fulfillment of her desire to be an opera singer. Sylvia is a clever little actress, too. Some day we shall see more of her on the stage. RICHARD AHLQUIST The .fellow with the perennial grin, and the W on his sweater is certain to be Dickie. His popu- larity with the fairer sex is pro- digious, he is tall and curly- haired. Sports are his hobby, and he earned his letter on the hockey team. No doubt heill be just as well-liked at Tech as he is at Classical. JOHN ALHEMOVICH If you ever meet a tall, husky individual stalking down Main street, slinging a rifle with seem- ingly much too much unooncern, donit become panicky. It will only be ,lohnny Alhemovich of the Naval Reserve, and he knows his guns. His hobby is shooting -at fixed targets, however, not at people. His ambition is to enter Annapolis and our guess is that he'll do it. WARREN ASH One of the more eloquent male members of the class is Warren, having early come under the in- fluence of the C.H.S.D.A. He is also an active member of the Green Room Club, and has ap- peared in more than one of its holiday presentations. His hobby is taking pictures-and he wields a wicked Hcandidf' He belongs to that spirited society, the Ca- mera Club. But there is a more passive side to his nature. He collects stamps, and likes his- tory. Yale is the university which will have him next year. LOIS AYRES Sometimes we wonder how Lois finds time to be a First Honor student and still a social whirl- wind. She is a contributing edi- tor of the Argus, a member of the History Club, and program committee chairman of Aletheia. Then, as a pastime, she has played hockey for four years, been on the Varsity basketball squad for two years and has played in every inter-high tennis tournament. She was a student councillor when a Sophomore. No doubt she will be equally popu- lar at Wellesley. ALDONA BABBITT Donna is blonde and blue-eyed, and rather shy. She doesnit like to talk about herself, but she al- ways has something pleasant to say about other people. Sur- prisingly, she has a throaty con- tralto voice. Ask her to sing a blues number. She is going into training at Memorial Hos- pital, and she will be the kind of nurse everyone likes around. DOROTHY BACDIGIAN Merely looking at her, one re- ceives the impression that Dot is quiet. But actually she keeps pretty busy with extra-curricula activities. First, she is a violinist in Orchestra A, and a member of the Glee Club. Then she finds time to belong to the History, French, and Green Room Clubs, to say nothing of being Vice- President of the Pythagorean Club. Dotls future plans are in- definite, but we know that what- ever she undertakes, she'll do with plenty of spirit. MITCHELL BAGDICIAN Outside school hours, Mitch is a photo-engraver for Lawton-Cupit Company, so he does not have much time for club activities. However, his great interest is photography, and he will prob- ably follow the profession se- riously. Like his sister Dorothy, he becomes enthusiastic about whatever he does. We hope that he'll be a huge success. ROY BAHARIAN Tech will have one more poten- tial engineer when Roy appears on the campus next fall. But en- gineering is not his only interest, for at Classical he has played in both orchestras and the band, besides belonging to the Glee Club. He is a member of the C.H.S.D.A., the Stamp Club, and the Chess Club. He has been a student councillor, and is well- liked everywhere. Good luck, Roy! DONALD BAKER Don claims to have no hobbiesg but he has a diversity of in- terests. He is a famous member of the C.H.S.D.A., and plays in Orchestra A. This last year, his contributions to the Telegram and Gazette Current Events Con- test aided our school in carrying off the prize. Now his name is engraved on the silver and ma- hogany plaque in the office, to be honored by Classical's suc- ceeding generations. A final honor came when Don was cho- sen by l1is discriminating class- mates as Testator. IRENE BAKSYS Irene is talented in the arts, and very beautiful. Classical knows her as the tall, fair-haired girl who sang at several assemblies. She belongs to the Glee Club and Mixed Chorus and is a mem- ber of the Clifton Holmes Wood Musical Ensemble. Her idea of fun is drawing candid sketches of her friends. Some day she hopes to be a fashion designer, and her training will begin at Rhode Island School of Art. JOHN BATEMAN When you want Bateman, all you have to yell is Hey, you! and he'll turn around. He is just about the most obliging fellow we know although a little on the quiet side. But there are times when he really lets gow at Glee Club, for instance. He is a smooth baritone. Johnny is going to Tech for a course in civil engineering. We wish him all sorts of good luck. GLADYS BELL Gladys' quiet and retiring na- ture has prevented hcr from join- ing any of Classicalis clubs, but her interests lie in her hobbies. When not occupied with school work, she spends her time read- ing, and when she desires activ- ity, she plays a few sets of ten- nis. She has a passion for junk jewelry of which she has several unusual pieces. ln September she will enter business school, Fair- child's Office School being her choice. ROBERT BENT Bob left the halls of Classical in February, but not before he made a name for himself. He is an ardent sports fan, enjoying foot- ball, swimming, skiing, and ten- nis, and we understand that he is an expert marksman. He has a large collection of unusual guns, and though he is interested in stamps, his guns are his hob- by. Next September he will mat- riculate at the Lowell Textile School. HELEN BERCER Helenis sparkling personality matches her pretty red hair which, she says, is the cause of many nicknames, she, however, prefers to answer to the name of Lynne. In the field of sports she swims, bicycles, and plays ten- nis. Lynne can be seen at all Classical's social functions, and in her idle moments she collects tiny elephants. Best wishes for the future, Helen! SVEN BERGSTEDT Tall, blonde, and very handsome, Sven causes many a girl's heart to beat faster as he passes by, but his interests lie in outdoor sports. He is one of the few riding enthusiasts at Classical, and he spends most of his time in that way though he swims, golfs, and plays a fast game of tennis. He hopes to go to college next year but as yet he is unde- cided just where. UDELL BERMAN Uddy is a man of many hobbies. He dabbles in photography, makes model airplanes, and col- lects stamps. Still he finds time to keep up his membership in the Stamp, History, and Tiger Clubs. He plays the trumpet in the Band and enthusiastically fol- lows football and baseball games. For active participation he pre- fers swimming to all other sports. PAUL BESTICK Bud hasn't made much noise around Classical hut nevertheless everyone knows him. He is one of the outstanding members of the track team and he has played on thc football team for two years. His favorite pastimes are listening to Glenn Miller and driving around in his automobile. As yet he has made no definite plans for the future, but he hopes to go to college. DOROTHY BLACKBURN Fond of sports, Dot has been prominent in Classical athletics. She plays a fast game of tennis, and she was a member of the hockey and basketball teams. When not participating, she can be seen cheering our athletes, as well as Techis, to victory. In her spare time she collects miniature elephants and keeps a scrapbook though she refuses to reveal its contents. Best of luck at Illinois College, Dot! NORMAN BLODGETT How Norm can keep up with his numerous activities, we all won- derl Prominent in the musical organizations, he is president of the Glee Club and a member of the Mixed Chorus and Band. He was elected treasurer of the Stu- dent Council, and he is a mem- ber of the Argus Board and the staff of the Eagle Trailf, His drums and his candid camera are his hobbies, and he is an expert swimmer and skier. Next year he will go to a technical school. SIDNEY BLYDEN Perhaps sometime in the future we shall listen to a radio in- vented by Sidney Blyden, for ra- dio is his hobby. Photography, too, interests him, so he has had little time to join Classical's clubs, he has, however, become a member of the Tiger Club. During the summer vacations Sidney displays his athletic abil- ity in swimming and tennis, his favorite sports. Though his plans for next year are indefinite, we wish him success in whatever be his undertaking. THOMAS BOMBICINO Everyone knows Tommy Bombi- cirog in fact, social-minded is the word which best describes him. His large Packard is always filled with friends, and his love of society won him a position on the social committee. He is a member of the C.H.S.D.A. and thc Tiger Club, and during his high school years he has been manager of the track and tennis tcams. Wherever he goes next year, he will have a host of friends. PETER BRAGINTON Peter, the blond boy who ap- pears interested in everything, you often see strolling around the corridors. For pure enjoy- ment Peter likes nothing better than to build model airplanes, and sometimes he likes to tinker with radios. Peter belongs to the Student Council and plans to take the exams for Annapolis in the fall. We hope to see you there, Peter. DANIEL BREEN Dark and handsome, Dan is the Tyrone Power of Classical. He has often appeared in the Green Room Club productions, his most recent success being the leading role in the senior play. There is no need to guess why he was chosen chairman of the play committee. When not busy act- ing, Dan plays football and base- ball. HELEN BRULINSKI Next year Helen is going to at- tend the State Teacheris College where she will study to become a history teacher. Strange as it seems, however, her favorite sub- ject at Classical is art, and she is very clever with a paint brush. The only club to which Helen belongs is the Agassiz, but she occupies herself during her spare moments in playing tennis and keeping a scrapbook. JOHN BURTON The sea and ships hold a great attraction for good-looking John. One of his favorite pastimes is sailing, and his hobby is model hoat building. In fact, so inter- ested in ships is he that he plans to be a naval architect. Knowing john, we are sure he will be suc- cessful for he has proved himself an efficient worker as the busi- ness manager of the Argus and as assistant scout master of Troop 18. A typical outdoor man, he loves all sports, parti- cularly hunting and skiing. PHYLLIS BUTLER Phil has been a member of the Agassiz, Botany, and Glee Clubs and for seven years has been a Girl Scout. We often see her bi- cycling toward the neighboring towns during the spring and summer, for this is her most en- joyable activity. Surely Phil with such H11 ever-ready smile will be a kind nurse at the Rhode Island Hospital. MARTHA CARLSON Martha has been very active during her high school years in the Orchestra, Clee Club, and Mixed Chorus and we all know her as a splendid vocal soloist. Then, too, she has been a mem- her of the Student Council for three years. Martha has several various collections including min- iature horses, lumps of sugar, and theatre and concert pro- grams. Next year she will enter the College of Fine Arts in Syra- cuse, New York where she will Continue her study of music. RUSSELL CARLSON Perhaps in the future Rus will he famous as a great airplane de- signer for that is his pastime. Next year he plans to attend Worcester Tech where he will study to achieve that goal. In school athletics he has been a consistent member of the Hockey and Basketball teams. HAYDEN CARLTON Although Hayden has not be- longed to many school organiza- tions, he has been an ardent sup- porter of our teams and always has a contagious cheerfulness which spreads among all his classmates. He is intensely in- terested in photography and plans to attend the Rochester School of Photography next year. Best of luck, Hayden! SHIRLEY CARR Twirly ther nickname comes from the fact that Shirley is one of the twirlers in the bandb is the Secretary of the Aletheia So- ciety, President of the Stamp Club, and an Eaglet Girl Scout. She collects miniature animals and very skillfully makes pottery. She hopes to be a dress designer sometime and establish her own shop. Besides being one of the outstanding girls intellectually, she is one of the sweetest-man- nered and prettiest members of the class. RICHARD CARSON Wimpy has indeed been a great asset to our fine hockey teams for four years, not only because of his ability to play a fine game but also because of his excellent sportsmanship. He finds great pleasure in camping out-of-doors and has been honored with the highest award in scouting, that of Eagle Scout. He intends to enter Worcester Tech next year where he will take the course in mechanical engineering. RICHARD CASE Dick has been active in baseball and tennis during his four years at Classical. He also is especially interested in football and basket- ball. His outside interests in- clude membership in the Gamma Sigma Fraternity. Dick is going to leave our vicinity next year to study at the Texas Agricultural Mining College. GERTRUDE CASHEN Whether she is called Bernie or Gert makes no difference for she will always answer with her fa- miliar, cheery smile. Bernie has added much to the Mixed Chorus and Glee Club with her fine so- prano voice. We understand that she is quite an expert ping-pong player, too. Witli her unusually fine talent for drawing she earned a scholarship to the Worcester Art Museum School. THOMAS CAWLEY Tom is really an outdoor man and is interested in all sports, his favorites being hshing and horseback riding. He is a mem- ber of the Social Committee. He has managed to devote most of his time to the History Club and Classic Myths Board. We wish him the best of luck in the pur- suit of his studies at Holy Cross. JANE CHAFFIN Jane has been one of our most outstanding girls. Her versatility of interests and abilities is well shown by her being Secretary of the Student Council, Secretary of the Agassiz Club, Secretary- Treasurer of the Orchestra and Band, and a member of the Ale- theia Society, the Classic Myths Board, and the Senior Play Com- mittee. Besides these outside in- terests, Jane has also been a scholar of first rank. She plans to study medicine next year at Jackson College. GEORGE CIANKO Outside school Doc works at the Boys, Club. He enjoys all sports especially swimming, tennis, and basketball. He plays the drums and is an ardent follower of Gene Krupa. Witli all these in- terests he finds little time for school activities and therefore has joined only the Tiger Club. MARIO COLECCI Mario came to this country from Sulmona, Italy in 1937. Although he was born here, he says that he likes Italy better. With such a background it is no wonder that his special interest is tra- velling. A brilliant student, We know that Mario will be a great success at Holy Cross. JOSEPH COMISKEY Joe is an expert in the use of firearms in his favorite sport of rifle practice. Among his recrea- tions dancing and bowling com- mand his greatest attention. Since he is interested in all sciences he plans to enter Worcester Tech and to specialize in mechanical engineering. WII,LIAM CONNOR The popularity of Butch is evi- dent by the fact that he is the President of our class. He has been a star athletc in basketball, baseball, football, hockey, and track. He is also a member of the Tiger Club and is interested in photography. Next year he will enter a Prep School and later will study to become un- doubtedly a competent lawyer. HARRIET CORBIN A person very well groomed, well poised, charming and clever, in other words, Harriet Corbin, who assures us that her spare time, used up mostly playing either golf or ping-pong, helps a great deal. But for more serious hours, Harriet has chosen to specialize in designing. After getting a glimpse of Harrietis artistic doodling, we feel certain that that field will welcome her with open arms. RAYMOND COVITZ lf you judged Ray by his hob- bies, sleeping, and reading, you would probably draw false con- clusions about him. You could easily obtain testimonials prov- ing both his studious and quiet nature, and from his presidency of his fraternity you may gather that he is quite popular. We wish you success in your business ca- rcer, Ray! STANLEY CROSS Although Stan must have experi- enced both rough and smooth sailing on the seas, it has only been smooth in school where he has shown particular talent in chemistry and mathematics. The leisure time Stan plans to spend on Pandora', will indeed be the best relaxation in the world from the difficult engineering field which he plans to enter. EUGENE DALRYMPLE For two years Gene has done a great deal of breath-taking dash- ing during track meets, but not in vain, for he has the honor of having dashed to the rewards of three' 'fW's,', a goal which few sprinters have attained. Athletics appeal to him more than any- thing else, for Cene's favorite hobby is sailboating. MARY DARLING Mary's orderly mind has chosen an orderly career, business. One glance at Mary's neat appear- ance and we can easily guess that her pet peeve is untidiness. Sincerity, genuineness and friend- liness all constitute her person- ality and character. She also cuts a very handsome figure both on the basketball court and on ice. ln her senior year she was elected Marshall of her gradu- ating class. Luck in the future, Mary! DOROTHY DAVIS Dot has a very appealing mind, for a different point of view, for a novel idea, for keen analysis of poetry, for anything out of the ordinary, go to her. During her 316 years, she has taken active participation in all sports, and lately has worked diligently in the Aletheia, on the Argus Board, as program committee chairman of the History Club, and at the present, on the Clas- sic Myths' staff. The mind has always held a fascination for Dot, so much so that she intends to major in psychology at Ben- nington College. WARREN DAY Warren has lived a serious life at an even and pleasurable tem- po. He prefers to spend his lei- sure time with photography, air- plane modelling, and skiing, all these have become his intimate friends. Classical loses a most valuable youth when Warren is graduated, because he is indeed one of the finest, serious minded students of today. May you ever prosper in the designing field, Warren! CHARLES DEBS Charlie is one of Classical's best example of the physical laws of acceleration. He walks fast, drives faster, and at the present moment rides at a terrific rate of speed theoretically in the Hi Y Club. Charlie has aspirations of making the last hobby a profes- sion in the Curtis Wright Insti- tute. Keep your eyes on a pos- sible future record breaker, class- mates. RICHARD DELONG A door opens, a face with an in- fectious grin appears, a series of huge strides to the desk, and Dick has finally captured the ab- sentee slip. Although he is one of our most famous class inter- rupters, Dick will never be for- gotten as a pupil by his fellow classmates because of his witty remarks and fast-moving conver- sations. FRANCES DEVLIN Fran has her finger in every sports pie at Classical, gaining outstanding reputation in basket- ball and tennis. Very active, her favorite pastime is dancing with piano playing running a close second. ln spite of all her other activities, Fran has always found time to keep her name on the honor list. Active, clever, popu- lar: Fran Devlin. NORMA DICK With Normais graduation Classi- cal loses one of the city's most spectacular solo twirlers. Norma's many extra-curricular activities are Band, Orchestra, Agassiz, Green Room, and History Clubs. She tells us that she utilizes her remaining energy in tap dancing, but she has lately decided that her fingers want exercising, pref- erably at Art School. PHYLLIS DILLMAN Phyl has graced the basketball and hockey Field during her high school years, and now she plans to grace the nursing field with her carefree smile and reliability. She has been continually active in scouting, and has taken a de- cided interest in bird study. l wouldn't blame anyone for de- siring to get sick while Phyllis is in training at City Hospital. MARY DOHERTY Mary is one of our most active clubwomen. She boasted of sec- retaryship in both the Tiger and Camera Clubs, and membership in the History, Botany, and Clee Clubs. At the present she is busy- ing herself with the gift com- mittee for graduation. The nurs- ing profession will certainly be enriched by Mary's active mem- hership. HELEN DONAHUE A quiet and unassuming girl. Helen has always been a person upon whom everyone could de- pend. She has taken upon her- self many times responsibilities which others have gingerly re- fused. She has been a faithful member of both the French and Tiger Clubs, and we know that she will become a dependable nurse. JEANNE DORMAN Jeanne is the answer to the ar- gument of those who contend that the modern girl is only a fluffy-minded gad-about. The Ar- gus Board, Aletheia, Agassiz, C-lee Club, Mixed Chorus, Stu- dent Council, and Senior Picture Committee are a few of the or- ganizations which avail them- selves of her talents. She was chosen President of the Agassiz Club and elected Class Historian. We know that ,leannels charm will win for her at Framingham Teachers College as large a circle of friends as it did at Classical. GEORGE DOWNEY To George, as chairman of the Senior Social Committee, falls the responsibility of directing the Senior Prom and any affairs of this nature which our class may undertake, and no one is better qualified for the position. He has displayed his talent for directing an organization as pres- ident of the History Club. We know that George will add to his popularity at Holy Cross Col- lege. RITA DRISCOLL Rita, this year, upheld the tradi- tions of her famous family by defeating the combined brains of Classical's date fans in the His- tory Club's annual quiz. Her ta- lent for answering questions cor- rectly should be very helpful when she has completed her course at Katherine Gibb's School and is a full-fledged pri- vate secretary. BRADFORD DUNBAR Yes, Bradford is the first name, a fact which some of his teachers are continually forgetting. Se- riously, he is an avid stamp col- lector, was once treasurer of the Stamp Club, and is interested in radio as a hobby as well as stamps. Bradford has the same intentions as about one-quarter of our Senior Class, namely to enter Worcester Tech. MARY RITA DUNFORD ln the very near future, some poor business man's heart will be gladdened when Rita achieves her ambition and becomes a pri- vate secretary. After oflice hours you will probably find her danc- ing or swimming or indulging in a fast game of tennis. lt's still undecided which secretarial school will have the pleasure of preparing Rita for entrance into the business world. MARGARET EARLY ff a pretty girl across the aisle starts smiling to herself and then leans over to say, I heard the cutest joke today. Want to hear it?'7 that's Peg. When she's not busy keeping her classmates informed about the latest in high school humor, she participates in the activities of the Alelheia and Agassiz Club. Next year Peg's going to try keeping the patients at City Hospital amused. JOSEPH ESPER Whether he's merely a spectator or an active participant, all sports interest ,loe. ln high school he specialized in running, having been a member of both the Track and Cross-Country teams. Joe has decided to continue the study of his favorite subject, mathematics, at Worcester Tech. NAN FARRELL lf you saw the Senior play of 1938, you were treated to a dis- play of Nan's histrionic ability. lf you've been reading the Argus faithfully for the year you have seen evidence of her talent for writing. Nan's still trying to make up her mind which interest shall become her most important one. Meanwhile, she's going to devote her energies to being a good nurse at City Hospital. MARGARET FEEHERRY Peg represents the best in vocal talent that Classical has to offer as those who have heard her so- los in any of our concerts will testify. She has been a member of the Girls, Glee Club, Mixed Chorus, History Club, Tiger Club, and the Senior Song Com- mittee. One of Worcester's Train- ing School's for Nurses will gain a decided advantage when Peg makes her choice. GEORGE FETHEROLF ln choosing his extra-curricular activities George has patronized some of our smaller and less-well- known organizations. For ex- ample he was a leading member of that nameless, fun-loving gathering which met in the West corner of Mr. Couming's home room before school and during fourth hours. His more orthodox interests included model air- planes and stamps. George has joined the group headed for Worcester Tech. GEORGE PAUL FOLEY All of Paulis interests lie in the Held of sport. For example, he is one of the stalwarts who man Classical's famous Track and Football teams. When not giving his all for his Alma Mater on the football field, Paul likes to study Spanish and Chemistry. He plans to matriculate at Massa- chusetts Slate College. CHARLES FORSBERG Along about February, Charles abandoned his Classical class- mates to journey to the Big City.', Before he left, he was an important member of our Band and Mixed Chorus. Charles also lent his vocal talent to our fa- mous Worcester Festival Chorus. He has not decided just where he will be enrolled next year but some school of music will gain a fine voice. ELIZABETH FRENCH Betty's well-deserved popularity was clearly evident when she was elected vice-president of our class. ln her third year she re- ceived the prize awarded by the Aletheia to the outstanding ,lu- nior girl. With her athletic as well as scholastic ability, Cshe has won second honors? and her talent for making friends Betty will be a welcome addition to Colby Junior College. HAROLD FRIEDMAN A member in good standing of the Orchestra and Band for four years, his clarinet being his hob- by, Harold needs no explanation. He sports an infectious smile and an effective wit, in marked contrast to his odd moments of sobriety, which, as a rule, are reserved for classrooms. B. U. is his destination and later a busi- ness career. EDWARD GILLETTE This gentleman is a rare and de- lightful combination of beauty, brains, and brawn. Math happens to be his strong point, which fact accounts for the pulp to which he chews his pencils. He belongs to the History Club, is on the football squad, is a runner for the Track team, and as to looks, girls, the picture speaks for it- self. MARY GILLIGAN Very likely this sweet, dignified creature harbors an imp of co- quettry, but if so, Classical has yet to discover it. If you happen to have any remote hopes of shattering her superb poise, you might try watching her ski. She is a Junior Leaguer, and was for some time a valuable member of the Tiger and Stamp Clubs. SYLVIA GYLVARG Sprightly elf is a fitting title to bestow upon this lovely mem- ber of the majority of our or- ganizations, which include the French, Agassiz, Aletheia Clubs, and Student Council. Besides those activities mentioned, she carries the coveted title of Ho- race Mann student. To offset her serious inclinations, she giggles, talks animatedly fand incessant- lyj, and is an incurable doodler. MILDRED GLAZER For sincere and unaffected opin- ions or advice, Millie is, without doubt, the person to whom to go. Music is her madness, and what with Orchestra and Band re- hearsals, she certainly has enough to do to keep her busy. Besides the musical organizations, she at- tends Aletheia and History Club meetings, and dabbles in Lab- oratory work and biology whe11 time permits. ABRAHAM GOLDSTEIN Sunshine is one of those ami- able chaps predestined to bright- en lagging classrooms with witty remarks which, as a rule, fail to humor the pedagogues. He is an accomplished dancer, and ac- tually won a trophy at a waltz contest once. He is, however, se- riously interested in the sciences, more particularly biology and archaeology, and intends to fol- low them if fortune allows. IRVINC COLDSTEIN Awe-inspiring, this Irving fel- low. Math, Chemistry, and Phys- ics were actually his best-liked subjects, yet in spite of this phenomenon, he was one of the greatest favorites of the student body. The Pythagorean Club monopolized him, and when he wasnit concentrating on the weighty problems of higher mathematics, he dabbled with test tubes. LAnd still doesl. He claims one of those rare mem- berships to the honor roll, and so, Tech or Clark, we give you the cream of Classical's crop. SIMON GOLDSTEIN Although your first impression of him is that he is a bit indifferent to surroundings, you need only to speak to him once to realize that he enjoys company. His marks are well above average, mechanical drawing and chem- istry being the two subjects in which he especially shines. He has also distinguished himself as assistant scoutmaster of his group. BERNARD GOODSTEIN Ready? He belongs to the Chess Club, Debating Assembly, is president of the French Club, is a student of philology, was Horace Mann at Grafton Street J. ll. S., is a lover of bridge and tennis, and hates mathematics. Oh, yesl After some coaxing he coyly admitted that his closest friends called him 'gGooky. SYLVIA GOODMAN The Orchestra, Aletheia, and French Clubs claim much of her attention, most of it being cen- tered on the first subject. A kind and gentle soul at heart, 'gGoody's', secret ambition is to be a social service worker. And boys! lf you're taking her to dinner, come well supplied be- cause the lady likes to eat. BERNARD GOODMAN Bebble', is one of those wel- come comics who is excruciating- ly funny and yet is unaware of that fact himself, or at least he leaves that impression. He soda- jerks for l1is pin-money, and when not doing anything else he collects bugs, no doubt the in- fluence of the Agassiz Club. He is a f'must for any party. WILLIAM GRANT Bill may seem a bit frigid on a first acquaintance, but in time he will loosen, and it is then you will begin to understand his im- mense popularity. He has been an indispensable member of the 1939 football team, and is one of those to monopolize Elm Park in the skating season. He is very charming when he is so inclined, so watch out, girls! DANIEL GRASSESCHI In Dale tshort for his middle name, Dalyl, is found a striking resemblance to Lloyd Nolan, the actor, in both speech and fea- tures, although he is less villain- ous than the latter sometimes is. He is especially proud of his col- lections of magazines and a scrapbook of famous athletes, the inevitable result of his avid love for baseball and sports in general. EDWARD GREENE Eddie is one of those persons who do not say much but who know exactly what they are go- ing to do. He plans to pursue a career in industrial chemistry, first taking a post-graduate course and then entering Clark, where he will major in this subject. With such determination he will surely succeed. VIOLET GRIFFITHS Viis nicknames, Red and Carrot- Top, are a dead give-away. She is a joiner, having been Presi- dent of the Agassiz Club and a member of the Green Room, His- tory, and Tiger Clubs. Botany was her favorite subject and post-card collecting her hobby. After graduation, Vi will go into training at City Hospital. HASKELL GRODBERG A very busy person was Hack, who was President of the C.H.S, D.A., where he gained fame as an orator and debater through winning the championship of Massachusetts in the American Legion Oratorical Contests, pres- ident of the Band, Co-Editor-im Chief of the Argus for two years, Treasurer of the Pythagorean Club, and a member of the Stu- dent Council, Orchestra A, and the Green Room Club, not to mention being a consistent Hor- ace Mann scholar. Hack's pro- verbial modesty was responsible in no small degree for his great popularity, as was evidenced when he was elected Class Or- ator. MARCUS G. GRODBERG MC3, as his nickname indicates, is of a mathematical turn of mind, and says his favorite study was calculus. He was President of the Pythagorean Club and Vice-President of the C.H.S.D.A. Marky is a connoisseur of jazz and has an extensive record col- lection. Between tennis and de- nunciations of the systemi' he is quite busy. WARREN GUSTAFSON Good-natured Sparky won his HWH in hockey and baseball, but his interest in sports does not end there. He finished his studies at Classical in February and then went to Worcester Acad- emy, where he will probably stay for another year and then enter Norwich. Sparky was Vice-Presi- dent of the Tiger Club at Clas- sical. MURIEL HAAS Mimisnamed, perhaps, after the song-has a musical soul, which she has indulged in the Glee Club, Mixed Chorus, and Or- chestra A. As you might guess, her favorite school subject was harmony, although Spanish ran it a close second. Mimi plans to study music, probably piano, at Washington Conservatory next year. JOAN HADLEY The Chamberlain School will claim our ,lo next year. There she will study retail merchan- dising, with the intention of be- coming a buyer or perhaps a saleslady. ln recognition of her business-woman qualities, she was appointed a member of the Play Committee. Art was Jo's favorite subject and skiing her favorite sport. EDWARD HALL Bud, who attained fame as the only boy in the Agassiz Club, holds, besides the presidency of that club, two swimming cham- pionships of the Massachusetts and Rhode Island Y.M.C.A. Bud is interested in aeronautical en- gineering, and hopes, after a year or two at Massaclulsetts State, to enter Annapolis and the Naval Air Service. ALFRED HANOVER Have you ever seen anyone drive to school in a disreputable old truck without shifts, brakes, 01' paint? lf you have, you were watching Al. Besides driving the truck, he enjoys fishing and has the fishermanis usual store of lall tales. Al intends to work for a while and then go to a tech- nical school. IIARRY HOOGASIAN Harry likes to tinker with elec- tricity and was a member of the Radio Club until that club went out of existence. He also likes mathematics and physics and hopes to pursue the theoretical angle of one of the three as his life work. Football was Harry's sport, and he was on the squad. J AMES HORGAN Jim, as he himself admits, does just about everything. He won his MCB in baseball, football, and track. Orchestra B and the Band, in which he played the clarinet, claimed part of his time. He was named chairman of the Dedication Committee and chosen Class Marshall. .lim plans to tnatriculate at the University of New Hampshire next year. LEONARD ISRAEL Lenny enjoys the unique distinc- tion of having been in two se- nior plays. He was Vice-Presi- dent of the Green Room Club and Chairman of the member- ship committee of the C.H.S.D.A. Lenny is an Eagle scout whose hobbies are stamp and coin col- lecting. His favorite subject was physics and he may enter Tech next year. ARMAND ITALIANO Armand, or Elmer, as he is sometimes called, was an active member of the Tiger Club and also of the Ring and Pin Com- mittee. While a freshman, he tried out for the track team, with the 220 as his specialty. It is whispered about that Elmer is no mean piano player. IRVING JACOBS Jake is a versatile chap, inter- ested in music, basketball, biol- ogy, photography, stamps, and social affairs. He was a member of the Band, Orchestra A, and the Glee Club, playing the clari- net, sax, and bassoon. He joined the Agassiz Club and plans to matriculate at Clark, heading for a career as a biology teacher. OSCAR JANKELSON Coming from the Boston Latin School, Happy has been with us only two years during which has been an active member the Green Room Club. He is an amateur photographer who has done some very commendable work in that field, while next year he plans to continue his studies at Clark University. he in MARIANA JOHNSON Quiet and unobtrusive, Mariana is one of our most competent athletes. She has won honors on the varsity, hockey, and basket- ball teams during all of her four years as well as playing in the tennis tournaments. She has proved her popularity by being elected captain and manager of the two former sports. In her spare time she becomes a post- card and stamp collector. CORDON JOHNSTON Here is a future ornithologist who will go far in his field. He has made a thorough study of birds for years, and has long been recognized as an authority on them by his classmates and teachers. But this alone does he take seriously, and he does his best to make everything else a joke. He is a sure guarantee against boredom in any gather- ing. BERNARD JONAS Although Bernie has not taken an interest in school clubs, he has been very active in outside affairs. He divides his time be- tween collecting valuable stamps and constructing model airplanes. He is Treasurer of the Wor- cester A. Z. A., but will forfeit this position next year to attend Wisconsin University. CLARE KEENAN Clare is one of our most avid music enthusiasts as she well proves by her four years in the Clee Club and two years in the Mixed Chorus and outside study- ing. Rusty, as she is known, en- joys skating and all sports and is one of a few outstanding girls who has received her Golden Eaglet in scouting. MARIE KENARY Although Marie is rather quiet, she has many varied interests. She has been a member of the History Club and, though not a member of any musical organiza- tion, she enjoys the classic selec- tions. She practices several sports and competed in the tennis tour- naments. Planning on a secre- tarial career, she may attend Katherine Gibbs. EDWARD KIRBY Energetic and popular, Ed is one of the most active boys in the class. He enjoys music and read- ing as well as sports, particu- larly golf. He was a member of the Student Council for three years and President in his se- nior year, Vice-President of the Tiger Club, a member of the Stamp Club, of the Argus Board and of the Classic Myths Board. DONALD KLEINBERG Clever and widely read, Donnie is known for his dry wit and sense of humor. He is most in- terested in history and has been active in the History Club as well as a member of the Argus Board. As a member of the squad, he is a competent and speedy tennis player. ARTHUR KOSKINAS Art is interested in English and Mathematics and has been a member of the C.H.S.D.A. for three years and of the Pytha- gorean Club. He has been in the Glee Club and enjoyed school football, basketball, and track. For hobbies he indulges in gar- dening and cabinet-making, both of which he does expertly. SIDNEY KRAVITZ Doc's interests are devoted al- most entirely to music of all kinds. He has been a member of both Orchestra A in which he played the solo clarinet and of the Band in which he gave forth with the bass clarinet. Next year he plans to matriculate at Clark University. CECELIA KRINTZMAN Petite and popular, Cissy was well-known about school and until she left in February was a member of the History Club and of the Glee Club for one year. During this last winter she has had a grand vacation in Florida. Here's wishing she may enjoy many more there when she is earning her own money in l1er chosen career. MILDRED P. KRUKONIS Polly is tall, slim, and definitely winsome, and has an enviable knack for putting strangers at their ease, be they young or old. A lovely coloratura voice, which excels the range of Lily Pons, is her outstanding talent, which na- turally made her an indispensable member of the Glee Club and Mixed Chorus. Along with her love of music she somehow found the time to climb among the upper seven of her class. Best of luck at Radcliffe! FRANCIS LA FORCE Fran was one who left school in February so that it was impos- sible for him to participate in many school activities during his senior year. He is now associated with the Real Estate business. He is an amateur photographer and as he plays ice hockey he improves his already accom- plished figure skating. HELEN LAGADINOS A good student and an interest- ing person, Helen is well-liked by all. She was a member of the junior basketball squad and a competitor in the tennis tourna- ments. She proposes to major in languages and we are sure that she will achieve success wherever she chooses to further her studies. HENRY LA .IOIE Here is a fine example of the accomplishment which can be made from choosing a worth- while hobby and making much of it. Henry has made a name for himself among the youth of the city as a model airplane ex- pert, and last fall represented our Airplane Club as its Presi- dent in an interview over the radio. Besides this he has found time to become Co-Captain of the cross-country team, Secre- tary-Treasurer of the Camera Club, a member of the track team, and to go out for tennis and basketball as well. VIRGINIA LA MOTTE Second lead in the operetta in her sophomore year, mezzo-sopra- no in the Girls' Glee Club and Mixed Chorus, member of Or- chestra A, and Worcester Sinfo- nietta, in which she plays the bass violgmusic seems to have caught a secure hold on Ginny. It is not her only love, however, for she is interested in biology, IO0. JOSEPH LE BLANC The first time this scribe saw Joe, he was on the ice at Elm Park, tha't is, he was disappear- ing through the ice. He has a habit of getting into awkward positions. He is a whiz at ice hockey, plays football and ten- nis, and was an illustrious mem- ber of the History Club. Popular with everyone, he was appointed to the Senior Prom Committee, and did more than his share to make the Prom an enormous success. GLORIA LENNARD If you like to dance, Glo and you are kindred spirits, for there is nothing, except, perhaps, ten- nis and both kinds of skating, that she prefers to do. Petite, but active, she was president of the Green Room Club, secretary of the Pythagorean, and a mem- ber of the Tiger and Agassiz Clubs. PEARL LIEBERMAN Lucky Pearl took advantage of the fact that she lived right across the street from the school to snatch those few extra winks each morning that all of us so much desired. The extra energy thus acquired she used to be- come an active member of the Aletheia, History, French, and Tiger Clubs. BERTHA LIKSHIS Bert was a member of six clubs tcount 'emlD, Aletheia, History, Botany, Stamp, Tiger, and Agas- siz. She was treasurer of the Agassiz Club. Stamp and post- card collecting, tennis, swim- ming, skiing, and other sports, combined with her club activities, made her quite a busy lass. Ber- tie will attend Framingham State Teachers College next year. FLORENCE LISABITSKY Florence is a quiet, well-man- nered person, and because of her pleasantness is very likeable. During her stay at Classical, she has become a member of the His- tory and French Clubs. Her fa- vorite sport is skating, and al- though she has participated in no sports here in school, she is an ardent basketball fan. Much of her leisure is spent playing the piano. She plans to take a secretarial course at Fairchildis Office School. RUTH LONGVALL Whether she graces the Tiger, History, or French Club with her presence, Ruthie is always sur- rounded by a host of friends. Ruth likes French and piano playing, especially the latter, at which she is accomplished. She was particularly famous as one of the beauties of the class of '40 ELEANOR LOONEY Pat welcomes any opportunity of showing how she can cook, and she really can cook, too. No kid- ding! She joined three quite dif- ferent organizations at Classical, the Agassiz, History, and Girls, Glee Clubs, and, moreover, she likes math! Pat would like to be a teacher and will matriculate at Worcester State Teachers, in September. MARJORIE LOVELL One of the most popular persons at Classical was Marj, holder of a W in hockey, basketball, and tennis and captain of the hockey team. Her great aptitude for sponts has made teaching gym her ambition. She will prob- ably enter Maryland University next year. Marj was a member of the Tiger Club and is promi- nent in church circles. WALTER MacCARTHY A charter member and Vice- President of the Model Airplane Club, Mac has had four winners in inter-high model-building com- petition. He is not only an ex- cellent first-baseman, but also a good hurdler. A second honor man, part author of the Student Council constitution, chairman of the Ways and Means Com- mittee, Mac would like to be an aeronautical engineer. NANCY lVIacGILPIN Nan, a great organizer, is very prominent in young people's fel- lowship work, and she is presi- dent of the Worcester convoca- tion. Her liking for singing led her to join the Girls, Glee Club. Nan would like to be a social service worker and to that end will enter Skidmore after she graduates. AGNES MALLEY The Tiger, Botany, and Agassiz Clubs can claim Connie as a member. She was also in the Student Council for two years. When asked what subjects she liked most, she replied, The ones Mr. Cravedi teaches. Con- nie, who collects dolls, plans to go into training at City Hospital after she graduates. DANELLA MANDELL Pretty, pert, petite Penny likes nothing better than dancing, and she can jitterbug and waltz with equal facility, having won many a prize at both. Besides having a hand in the doings of the French and History Clubs at Classical, Penny was an assistant leader at the Girls' Club. Her favorite study was biology. CARETH MANDELL Carry won his W on the ten- nis team, but tennis is not his only sport, for he plays basket- ball as well. He likes gardening and, like his twin sister, danc- ing, in which he excels. Garry's favorite subjects were English and biology. One of the state teachers colleges will probably welcome him next year. ELDA MARTIN ,lane fthe origin of her nickname is shrouded in mysteryj is a piano player, quiz expert, and swing record fiend. She held the proud post of Student Director of the Tiger Club, was a soprano in the Clee Club, and a member of the Botany Club. Hair-dress- ing is her chosen profession. RITA MATUSEWICE Rita's deliberate, methodical reci- tation of a geometry theorem left more than one class reeling, and indeed typified the sincerity so evident in all her undertakings at Classical. Rita has a large and varied collection of foreign dolls. She seeks her chief recreation in the ballroom, or bicycling. She plans to enter Massachusetts General Hospital this fall. DONALD McAVEY Toseaninni is his idol, and de- vout worship of all classical music his general practice. A good book would find him de- sirous of little more, perhaps but a dash of the William Tell Over- ture. His gentillity and good- fellowship won him many fast friendships through Classical's sacred halls. Don heads for Holy Cross. JAMES McCANN Jimmie has a host of friends. Political sages among the class stamp him as promising timber for future ofhce in our fair city. He is a smooth dancer and pulls many a feminine vote. .limmie played basketball and is an ex- pert swimmer. He is heading for prep school this fall. PAUL McGRATH lleid turn if you called Mac, P. Francis, or Longfellow. To those fortunate students who have been privileged to know Mac, and there are many, his gangling frame and matchless wit will not fast fade from memory. ln- deed he was a jolly good fellow. Paul joined the History Club, and was a Band member. His hobby is music, tho fast kind. Mac will matriculate at Holy Cross this fall. MARGARET McINTYRE Margie was an active member of the History and Tiger Clubs. She was also a member of the Student Council. ln winter she frequents the northern slopes for new hills to conquer, while sum- mer finds her haunting the New- ton Square tennis courts. Mar- garet is undecided about her plans for next year. MARION McKENNA Everyone knows of Chicis ath- letic prowess. She played three years of varsity basketball and was an integral part of the hoc- key team for two years. ln addi- tion, she managed the basketball team. She is acclaimed by all as a regular scout and many were proud to call her friend. Chic plans to enter nursing next fall, and, hold this scribe to his pre- diction, Chic is going to make good. Best wishes to a real girl. JAMES MELIKIAN jovial Jim, more familiarly sa- luted Mister Mountain, was a member of C.H.S.D.A., the Tiger Club, and lent his power to the success of the Tiger football ma- chine. This anecdote illustrates the ready humor that endeared him to his mates. Censured for failure to cover a punt more swiftly, Jim modestly issued his now classic statement, I did not choose to runf' He is a talented artist, so best of luck in your future pursuit, Jimmy. ELLESWORTH MELLOR Bud is really at his best under fire. Whether deflecting a flying puck on the ice, or thwarting an enemy advance on the gridiron, Bud went Hall out. He cap- tained his hockey team. His per- sonable manner immediately drew many to his side. After Til- ton, Bud heads for Rhode Island State next fall. SAVERIA MICHETTI Saveria is Switzerland's contribu- tion to the class of '40, Demure Saveria, an ambassador exempli- fying the democratic spirit of her native land, immediately gained popularity by her willing- ness to describe her European impressions, and her gracious tolerance of the third degree. She commands fluency in French, Italian, and German, and of course she is an expert skier. ALFRED MIERZEJEWSKI Taciturn Al's favorite pastime is to pit his intellectual power in stragetic moves around a chess board, and Al knows what is around the corner. A decidedly incongruous complement to his recreational activities is his great love of hockey. Next fall Al plans to enter Tech. BERNICE MINTZ This is not a thesis on the fun- damentals of a dynamo, but a hearty salute to a girl whose stature belies her energy. Ber- nice was a three year member of the Green Room Club, two years of Aletheia, Vice-president of the Glee Club, and active in the His- tory Club. She helped to place Classical on top in the 'ABig News Essay Contest. The past two summers she toured New England and eastern Canada on hostelry trips. Berny is interested in Journalism. l'lere's to a girl whois on the wayl ALICE MOHLER Alice is an outdoor girl. Riding, skiing, and tennis occupy her leisure hours. Her favorite sub- ject is English. Consideration of others is the most admired of her several fine qualities. She is as certain to be present at any dance as music. She has not def- initely decided where she will attend school next fall. LILIAN MURPHY Diminutive Lilian is one of our most ardent athletic followers. Her unique exhortations have contributed to more than one Tiger surge. An arresting smile rightly suggests an even person- ality and these qualities will contribute to her success in nursing. Lilian sought solitude in a book, exercise ill tennis, and cultivated flowers as her chief hobby. RITA MURPHY Optimistic and carefree are, in- deed, two adjectives which fit Rita to perfection. Her jovial manner made her a pleasant ad- dition to any gathering and her friendly attitude won for her many new acquaintances. Rita has been a member of the Tiger, Camera, Botany, and History Clubs, proving that her interests are diversified. We may, in the course of time, forget much about our high school days, but we shall always cherish fond memories of genial Rita. ANTHONY NEVERDAUSKAS Sincerity-that rare quality - is indeed a part of Tony's makeup. During his stay at Classical his athletic ability was displayed to good advantage on the football gridiron as well as on the basket- ball court. Modest and unassum- ing, Tony made an admirable impression upon everyone with whom he came in contact. He hopes someday to hold the posi- tion of a coach of football and he carries with him the heartiest wishes of the entire class for success in this field. GARDNER NORCROSS Good-natured and carefreeg these words apply to Gardner in the fullest extent of their meaning. He has held membership in the Camera and Glee Clubs as well as the Mixed Chorus, and has spent much of his spare time either hunting or fishing - the two sports which appeal to him most. Being musically inclined, Gardner is indeed capable of giving a fine rendition on the piano or chromatic harmonica. A fellow like Gardner cannot help but succeed and we shall always remember him for what he is-a real, fine person. JEAN NYE An energetic student, Jean holds the distinguished honor of hav- ing been a member of a most coveted group-that of the Hor- ace Mann Scholars. Her faithful- ness to her studies shows a de- sire to achieve a success which we are confident will be hers. Having a deep appreciation for good music, Jean plays the violin very well indeed. May her fu- ture years be enriched with knowledge and may a generous portion of good fortune be hers. CHARLES 0'CONNOR Charlie's everlasting good nature is sure to bring him rich rewards. While here at Classical he was a member of the History Club and took part in the activities of the track and football teams. He found much time to enjoy him- self and gave a good part of it for the benetit of dear old Clas- sical. ln his Senior year he was appointed to a position on the Social Committee. May success always attend him. GERTRUDE 0'CONNOR Gertrude's main interest lies in the field of sports. She has been prominent in the activities of the tennis team as well as the hockey squad and has proven herself to be capable of giving her oppo- nent a real fight to the finish. She has also held membership in the History Club. She intends to turn her effort toward the field of teaching or nursing. GENEVIEVE O,FLYNN Possessed with a sincerity of manner, Genevieve immediately became a friend to everyone at the beginning of her Freshman year. Her interest in school activ- ities was evidenced by the fact that she held memberships in the History, Green Room, French, and Tiger Clubs. Genevieveis ge- nial disposition has caused her to be singled out by her class- mates as one whose acquaintance would be well worth cultivating. We wish her great success in her future endeavors. ZAVEN PACHANIAN Zaven has been most active in his high school career, having taken part in the activities of the Tiger, Model Airplane, and Glee Clubs. He played the tuba in the Band and the violin in the Orchestra. He has impressed us deeply with his keen mind and sound ideas, so much so that there is no doubt in our minds that Zaven will make good. He carries with him the best wishes of us all. FRANCES PALMER Franny is one of the happiest girls in the class, and partly be- cause of this she is well-known and liked by everyone. She has served on the Student Council, of which she was Vice-President. She has made a name for herself as a sportswoman in and outside of school, and besides having won her letters in field-hockey and basketball, she is an excel- lent skater and skier. GEORGE PANO Classical may feel proud, and justly so, to have been honored with such a student as George. An amateur biologist, he finds a great deal of enjoyment in con- ducting his own experiments in Biology and also in Chemistry. llis good nature and pleasant companionship have won for him many friends and he is destined to make many more pleasant contacts while furthering his ed- ucation at Worcester Tech. To you George-Success! JANET PARK Having music as her primary in- terest, Janet is indeed a talented musician. She sings, is an ac- complished pianist, andg as a grand climax, she plays that greatest of all wind instruments -- the organ. She has been a member of the French and Bo- tany Clubs, and has participated in the affairs of the Aletheia So- ciety. Janet derives much pleas- ure from the time she spends at the console of the organ, and hopes to be able to further her study of this marvelous instru- ment. May much deserved suc- cess be yours, Janet. MILDRED PATRICK Mildred enjoys reading and does a lot of it, which fact probably accounts for her wide-range knowledge of many subjects. She has been an active member of the French Club as well as of Aletheia, and has been a loyal and enthusiastic supporter of all school activities. Finding a great deal of pleasure in horse-back riding, Mildred spends a goodly amount of time pursuing this sport. That her future be pros- perous is the wish of her class- mates of '40. J EAN PATTERSON Hockey, basketball, and tennis are the three sports which have taken up a good part of Jean's time here at Classical. Excelling in studies as well as sports, Jean has made a record of which any- one would be proud, one upon which she may look back with a great deal of satisfaction. She likes to cook, and, for a sideline, Jean whacks the golf ball around a bit. She leaves Classical well prepared to meet whatever be in store for her and we wish her the best in everything. FREDERICK PERKINS Fred's chief interest outside studying in high school has been the Glee Club. We remember him in the operetta chorus last year. His greatest pride is a let- ter which he owns that came from John Alden. Here is one person who can really prove that his ancestors came over in the Mayflower! Although he has no future plans, we hope that he will do something along the mu- sical line with his voice. RAYMOND PETERSON The popular Pete is treasurer of the Senior class and in filling this full time job has had little chance for other activities. Base- ball is his favorite sport, how- ever, and usually he plays on the team. His future plans are undecided, but he hopes he will go to Boston University next year, SONIA PLOTKIN Tootsie is one of those women whose main object in life is a career. Her fame will undoubt- edly come to us in a few years from the business world. She is in the Tiger Club and is an ex- cellent pianist. Although she de- nies being a usocial butterflyf, Qand how could a career wo- man?J she likes dancing above everything. Here's luck to the future Miss Plotkin! PRISCILLA PRATT Polly is interested in everything out-of-doors. Her favorite sport is mountain climbing, and she has been on many trips during her Classical years. In winter you can find her skiing on a moun- tain side. She plays the drums in orchestra A and B, band A, and she is a member of the Tiger Club. She wishes to be a sec- retary, which seems incongruous with mountains, but success to her at Salter's. JANE QUIST Pretty and blonde, ,Iane is fa- miliar to everyone as she collects slips during the day. Coinciden- tally, collecting everything col- lectable is a mania with her. She represented Classical in the D. A. R. convention. Her clubs in- clude Aletheia, History, and Py- thagorean and she is a member of the Classic Myths board. In addition, she has found time to be a Horace Mann pupil for four years, and she has won First Honors. We wish her luck at Smith! ADELE ROLLINS Quiet Adele's friendly smile is familiar throughout the corridors. On the tennis court she is one of our best sportswomen. She plans to major in home econ- omics next year at Edgewood Park. A notable contradiction to her unobtrusiveness is her love of the color red which is often seen in her stylish appearance. OSCAR RUDNICK 0scar,s fame is definitely in his arguing. No matter what the sub- ject, he will disagree with you and probably shine in his argu- ments! His clubs illustrate this characteristic. They are the Chess, History, and Pythagorean Clubs. The deep silence for which chess is noted is broken if Oscar is in the game. He went out for football in his sophomore year. All who have come in contact with him during his four years know his generous nature. ABRAHAM RUTMAN This quiet and serious person is a familiar figure poring over his books. When he doesn't study, he uses his extra time enjoying his hobby, piano playing. HFin- landia is a specialty of his, not to be excelled. Next year Abe intends to attend Clark to take the pre-med course. The hard work encountered there will be no obstacle to this studious fel- low. ROSE SADOWSKY If there is a hard question asked and Rose hasn't the answer, you know it is impossible! Here is an honor student who takes her work quite seriously and yet has time for Aletheia, History, Tiger, and Glee Clubs, class and varsity basketball and field hockey. Her laugh is well known, too, so that any idea that she is a book- worm is misleading. Rose should make a perfect all-around girl at Smith where she will further develop that wonderful brain. CAROLYN SANFORD Although she limits her member- ship to the Tiger Club, Kae is always busy. She is an enthusi- astic fan of all sports but favors no particular one. She makes her friends wonder at her pep and exuberance. One sure way to raise her ire is to misspell her nickname, the originality of which she is quite proud. BENNIE SEGAL Bennie-and he wishes you would not think of him by any of his other nicknames-is one of our most ardent tennis fans and a mainstay of the tennis team. He is on the Basketball and Track Teams, also holding membership in the C.H.S.D.A. and Tiger Clubs. It is his wit which most of us will recall in years to come. At Amherst he will study economics and law for a future career. PAULINA SHAWMUT Penny's proudest possessions are her dimples. Her ambition is either to act or to write for the stage. She is an accomplished pianist and singer and is active in the Glee Club and Mixed Chorus. Her other clubs are the History and Aletheia. This viva- cious and energetic young lady is interested in many youth ac- tivities outside school. Although she may transfer later, her ambi- tion is to go to State Teachers' College next year. VIRGINIA SI-IEAHAN That Virgy is quite a responsible and capable girl is shown by her position as treasurer in both the Aletheia and History Clubs. She is also an industrious worker on the Argus board and active in the Green Room and Tiger Clubs. Tennis and skating are her fa- vorite sports. It is certain that her ambition to be a journalist will be fulfilled, if we are to judge by her record in high school. JOSEPH SHERMAN Joe is a boy just full of vim and vitality. He has a powerful voice which he loves to use. In his freshman and sophomore years he played the part of a comedian in the operettas The Count and the Co-edn and Peggy and the Piratesfi Besides singing he likes to compose music. He says that he likes all dancing, espe- cially jitterbugging. He is a mem- ber of the Tiger Club, the Green Room Club, the C.H.S.D.A., the Band, the Glee Club, the Mixed Chorus, and is assistant director of the Orchestra. FELIX SHILALIE Relish has been quite active in school organizations, besides find- ing timc to make much of his outside hobby, stamp collecting. He has become a member of the Tiger Club and Botany Club, as well as the Stamp Club. His fa- vorite sports are basketball and baseball, and he has gone out for these here at Classical. FRANKLIN SILVERMAN Throughout his four years of high school Franklin has been interested and active in drama- tics. In his sophomore year he had a part in the memorable production of 'lMacbeth', under the direction of Mr. Post. In his senior year he studied L'Macbeth again under Mr. Post, and he certainly excelled in it. This year he has been stage manager for the Christmas play and the Senior play. He has a part in this yearls Senior play, and has been a member of the Green Room Club, the Stamp Club, and the Glee Club. ROBERT SIMONIAN Everyone knows Bob, but how many know him as Hllonest Abe ? Bob was one of the founders of the Tiger Club, the organization which has spon- sored two of the few informal dances that Classical has ever had. He belongs to the Tiger Club, the Green Room Club, the C.H.S.D.A., the Hi-Y, the Glee Club and the Mixed Chorus, the Agassiz Club, and has also been a cheer leader. He is a member of the Senior Play Committee and is the winner of the 1933 C.l'l.S.D.A. Declamation Contest. SAMUEL SINGER Sammy, as he is known to ev- eryone, is a very attractive boy with a rather shy smile. He has belonged to the Chess Club, the Stamp Club, the Boys' Glee Club, the Mixed Chorus, the Or- chestra, and the Band. Outside his school activities he collects stamps. For good strenuous ex- ercise he likes to play football. Next year he plans to go to col- lege, but has not chosen a def- inite place. WALTER SKERS Walter is one of those boys who never seems to say much, and after youive talked with him you wonder why he is so economical with his words. He smiles con- tinually while you talk to him, and while he tells you that he likes to collect stamps and to listen to Hawaiian music. He also likes to read books of ad- venture. For the past three years he has been on the football squad. Next year Walter intends to go to Worcester Tech. SIDNEY SLONIMSKY Most people know Sidney as Sonny Sloane. It could be his dark good looks or it could be his personality that makes him the ladies, man that he is. Va- riety is the keynote of his life, for he likes Stamp collecting, photography, basketball, and track. He has been a member of the Agassiz, Tiger, and History Clubs. Next year will see him down South at the University of Alabama. OLIVER SMITH Olly holds the record for being one of the tallest boys in school. He has a remarkable sense of hu- mor. His friends say that he can make any ordinary happening in- to something riotously funny. He belonged to the Rifle Club, the Camera Club, the Consolidated Camera Club, and the Tiger Club. In his spare time he likes to shoot, and to collect playing records. Next year he is going to school at the University of Michigan. RAYMOND SNEADE Meet the man who meets the im- portant men! Raymond is a mes- senger down at Union Station. His work is such that he has met many notables. In fact, he has shaken the hand of Henry Ford. In school we all know him as the boy who used to collect slips. He seems rather quiet, but when he is spoken to, he has a very en- gaging smile and personality. Ile plans to continue this work next year. MARION SPENCER Spence is a little girl in size but great in her interests and appeal. She has a contagious smile and a hearty laugh which make her welcome everywhere. Marionss hobby is photography, and she likes all sports. She has attained the rating of Eagle Scout, is president of the Orchestra, a member of Aletheia, the Stamp Club, and formerly a member of the Hockey Squad and the Stu- dent Council. We know that she will achieve success at Mt. Holy- oke next year, just as she did at Classical. JOHN STANSFIELD John is a rather quiet boy, but he is well known around Clas- sical. When he was interviewed, he almost forgot to say that he was an Eagle Boy Scout. He is very much interested in Boy Scouts and he likes yacht racing. Next year he will leave for the sunny South to study at Wash- ington and Lee University. SIDNEY STAYMAN Upon Sid have rested the hopes of Classical in former track meets, and upon him they will rest again this spring, when he goes out to do battle for Clas- sical for the last time. He runs the 100 and the 220 yard dash, and the relay outdoors. In- doors he runs the 300 yard dash and the relay. He holds the city record for the 300 yard dash in- doors and for the 220 yard dash outdoors, and is a member of the State record-winning relay team. He has been a member of the Track Team for four years, and is now captain. He also belongs to the C.H.S.D.A. RICHARD STEARNS Dick is one of the best-known boys in school. .His brains, en- vied by all, his ready wit, and his ability to get along with ev- eryone make him a much-ad- mired person. Because of his ex- cellence in French, Dick was in- vited to join the Alliance Fran- caise. He was winner of the Har- vard Club Award in his junior year, and is secretary of the C. Il.S.D.A., thc Chess Club, and the French Club. He is also co- editor of the Argus, chairman of the Cap and Gown Committee, and is a member of the Green Room Club, the Senior Play, Stu- dent Council, and the Classic Myths Aftermath Board. He plans to study accounting next year at Northeastern. ROSAMOND STEVENS Rozie is interested in history and mathematics, and belongs to the History and Pythagorean Clubs. She has been on the hockey squad and on the senior basket- ball squad. Other sports of which she is especially fond are skating and swimming. She is also a member of a Senior Scout troop and has been awarded the Colden Eaglet. JEAN STEWART Jean left us in February to take a postgraduate course at Com- merce and wishes to enter a business college next year. We are certain that she will be an efficient secretary. She finds her greatest fun in skating and horseback-riding and is also a member of the Order of Rainbow for Girls. F NANCY STONE Nancy makes a hobby of one thing which many of us do not like to do, writing letters. Sports in which she has been active are basketball and tennis. Outside school, she finds interest in her Senior Girl Scout troop. Nancy's ambition is to be a medical sec- retary, beginning preparation by entering Becker's in the fall. MARTIN STYLES Martin has a varied field of in- terests. He plays in the Band and belongs to the Green Room Club. He is an active member of De Molay and spends much of his spare time reading. He likes all sports so much that he can- not select a favorite. Mic is an ace student of chemistry, and his ambition is to be a chemist. He is taking the first step toward his goal by entering Worcester Acad- emy next year. JAMES SULLIVAN Jim is active in clubs both in and out of school. He belongs to the Boys' Glee Club, the Mixed Chorus, the Green Room Club, and the Camera Club, in all of which be has held many offices. He has been a member of the Student Council, President of Hi- Y, Captain and Manager of the Cross Country Track team. He is also an assistant Seoutmaster and a member of the Table Tennis Club. His other interests include shooting and military training. James is now taking a course to become a reserve officer in the United States Army. Because be also wishes to become an op- tometrist, he is beginning his training next year at the Massa- chusetts School of Optometry. JOHN SUTKUS John is one of our most valued men in football. An outstanding player in both offense and de- fense, he has helped Classical to gain many victories. Both in and out of school, he is always ready to talk to anyone about anything of interest. His favorite and fascinating hobby is that of ra- dio construetion. John has bcen appointed alternate to Annapolis from the Fourth Congressional District. FRED TAPPER Fred boasts the honor of being the tallest person in the gradu- ating class. In high school, he particularly enjoyed himself in his biology, English, and history classes. His favorite sports are basketball, baseball, and foot- ball. Fred is now studying in a dental laboratory to learn how to make false teeth, and will later appreciate the partonage of the members of his class. PHOEBE THURSTON Pat is one of Classical's sport stars. She greatly helps our teams in both hockey and bas- ketball. She also collects all kinds of miniature animals and keeps a scrapbook of newspaper clippings. Pat is planning to go to the Forsythe Dental School to prepare herself to be a dental assistant. JOHN WALLACE TISDELL Wally is very much interested in all sports. He likes baseball best and is a real help to Classical in his position on the team. He is an important member of the Green Room Club and also has been in the Student Council for three years. Wally wishes to be- come an accountant and is going to begin his training in the fall. HENRIETTA TREADWELL Henri spends much of her time at club meetings as she is a member of the French Club, Girls' Glee Club, and Aletheiag Vice-President of the Stamp Club, and a twirler in the Band. She has also been a member of the Student Council. Her favorite sport is swimming and her most interesting hobbies are those of collecting all kinds of signs and miniature animals. Her other out- side intcrests include membership in a Senior Girl Scout troop. Henri is planning to go to Duke after one year of study at Sal- teris Secretarial School. THOMAS TYMON Tom has been an active member of the Tiger Club and was once Treasurer of the Student Coun- eil. He also participated in Cross Country Track. His experience as a Scout and his present du- ties as assistant Scoutmaster have constantly strengthened his love for the out-of-doors. While indoors, he likes to read, listen to soft, sweet music, and dance. Tom's favorite subject is history and he hopes to study it much further than he has. Next year he will be studying at the Fitch- burg 'State Teachers College. DONNA WATKINS I Donna, one of Classical's foremost music lovers, is a member of the Girls' Glee Club, the Mixed Chorus, and the Orchestra. She also includes music in her hob- bies by collecting classical rec- ords. As the President of Ale- theia and an active member of the French Club, she shows the same abilities which have en- abled her to gain Second Honors in her school work. Donna also enjoys sports, especially swim- ming and ping-pong. If you wish to see her next year, you will find her at Mount Holyoke. CLARE WEEKS Here is a person who is very quiet, but rather than escaping notice because of this, she has gained many friends. She was chosen secretary of the History Club and has also belonged to the Girls' Clee Club, and the Agassiz Club. The latter was of particular interest since her main hobby is science. HARVEY WHITMAN Wliit has varied interests, but has not participated in many school activities. He has made a hobby of electric motors and physics experiments and hopes to further his education in the field of science, probably at Yale. The sports which take up his leisure time are baseball, swimming, ping-pong, and bowl- ing. ALBERT WITT Because he is a good French- horn player, Al is an asset to our orchestra and band, and is frequently praised for his tone and technique, but he remains forever unassuming. ln fact, he is so unready to talk about him- self that it is an effort to find out about his many activities. He went out for basketball as an underclassman, and has also been a member of the Boys, Glee Club. Most of his spare time is used in practising and studying drafting. LEON WOLKOWICH Until one is in a history class with him, Leon might be thought to be loo taciturn, but this im- pression is soon corrected. Al- though he is a trifie retiring, he has managed to take part in the C.H.S.D.A., the Stamp Club, and the Chess Club. His greatest in- terest was in the latter, since Chess is his favorite pastime. ln the Boy Scouts he has attained the rank of Life Scout, and will soon become an Eagle. BENJAMIN ZECKER Benny needs no introduction. l-le has distinguished himself in the held of sports to such an extent that his name is sacred to all sports aspirants. He was elected captain of both the baseball and basketball teams, and was a va- luable member of the football squad. He has been a Student Councilor for two years. He is one of the most popular boys in our class, and we are sure that he will do well at Wtrrcester Tech which he hopes to attend. YORK ZETTERBERG This little man will never be overlooked in any crowd. His love of color is evident in his choice of clothing, and his red shirt and several other articles of wearing apparel are memories dear to the hearts of old Clas- sicalites. He is outstanding in other ways, also, and has been on the hockey and baseball teams for two seasons. Besides joining the History, Pythagorean, and Clee Clubs, he is active also in the De Molay. V Q assfc Cynyfhs HAROLD DUBIN We havenlt seen Harold around this past half-year as he com- Fifty-two pleted his high school course in February. He tells us that he has spent all of his spare time fishing or collecting samps. Ha- rold must have also spent some of his time reviewing the merits of various technical schools for heis definitely decided to enroll at Lowell Textile next fall. JACK GRACE This carefree fellow's motto seems to be 'fAll work and no play makes Jack a dull boyf' as far as teachers or pupils can see. He specializes in comedy, and when he tires of manufacturing gay remarks to liven this boring world', he loses himself in a strenuous game of football or baseball. His favorite subject? Study period, of course. FLORENCE KATZ Small, sunny, and silent, Kitty is an ardent music lover and an excellent pianist acting in the capacity of piano accompanist to the Girls' Clee Club. Her fa- vorite sport is swimming and in her quieter moments she devotes herself to clay modeling. We're sure that she will attain success at the music conservatory which she chooses. EDWARD MILLIAUSKAS Edis congenial grin and backslap were as certain as homework. His humorous interpretation of a Shakespearean tragedy lent re- lief to many an English hour. His poise under an instructor's interrogation will preserve this good fellow in our memories. Mill captained the Jay-Vee foot- ball team. and was active in the History Club. CHESTER ORCIUCH Chet is definitely scientifically minded. He has been a member of the Camera Club and also of the Popular Science Club, and has spent much of his spare time in the interests of photog- raphy, chemistry and amateur radio. His knowledge of these subjects must be unlimited as he never wastes a minute and is always experimenting. It is the hope of the class of '40 that Chet receive the best-for he deserves nothing else. VIRGINIA PARKER Ginny is one of those people who manage to keep busy all the time. She was a member of the Clee Club for two years and she spends a good part of her spare time outside of school vocalising the popular songs of the day. Her friends readily testify that Ginny does very well in this respect. We are all of the opinion that her future appears to be prosperous, for her capa- bilities are not to be denied. WALTER ROJCEWICZ Duke's favorite sport is track and he's been doing well in cross country. He is an aetivc member in both the History and Tiger Clubs. His hobby outside school hours is stamps, and he certainly has a collection worth seeing. We all hope he realizes his desire to go to Holy Cross next year. MICHAEL WOOD Michael has not been among us long, since he went to North High for his first three years. Although he took an active part in school organizations there, he has not found time to join any of ours. He is a tennis enthusi- ast, spending most of his spare time on the courts, and his other favorite pastime is dancing. His plans for the future are indefi- nite, but one can guess from his ready smile that he will always get fun out of life. F i I STUDENT CUUNCIL While this organization is not the most active socially, it is one of the most ser- viceable, and is ever ready to help out any other club or the whole student body. It is one group which is certain to endure for many years, as it has already done, for at times it is indispensable. The members, elected as representatives by their room-mates, gathered together for the first time early in the fall with Mr. Erickson as faculty ad- viser, and elected the following officers: Edward Kirby, President, Frances Palmer, Vice-President, ,lane Chafiin, Secretary, and Norman Blodgett, Treasurer. These four were seniors. At the beginning of the sporting season, the council assumed the duty of collecting the fees for the athletic association memberships and distributed the basketball tickets. Since then, the tickets have been given out as the successive seasons have opened. Much of the business of the school is carried on by this organization. The im- portance of this work is perhaps unappreciated, but this is no easy task, so much is involved. Along with the athletic tickets, the business of the Argus fee collections is annually taken over by these boys and girls, and even if the smallest freshman tand not seldom the biggest seniorj look baffled at having to handle weekly installments for two things at once, the whole club has done commendable work in this line. It might be added that a councillor has every chance of overcoming an inferiority com- plex or a fear of public speaking, for, as any member of the council will disclose, each one of them has had to address at least his own room-mates in order to spur them on to bring their quarter a week for three weeks, show their loyalty to Clas- sical, and receive their own school magazine. ln November, in order that a cordial relationship between teachers and parents might be brought about Parentsi Night is held. The ushers who direct the visitors through the building are from this body. Miss Ryan, who takes charge of the Parents' Night arrangements, praised her helpers this year for handling their work so easily. The senior members of this organization are Benjamin Zecker, Sylvia Cilvarg, Ed- ward Kirby, Jeanne Dorman, Constance lVlalley, Richard De Long, Wallace Tisdell, Marion Spencer, Marjorie Lovell, George Downey, Norman Blodgett, and ,lane Chaihn. Fifty-three THE ARGUS The Argus started its twentieth year with eleven new editors and only four vet- erans. Haskell Grodberg and Richard Stearns were chosen to be Co-Editors-in-Chief. Because of the cramped conditions at North, the Argus was unable to have its annual assembly to introduce the magazine. From past experience, however, the students knew what to expect, and there was no falling off of subscriptions. Because of Miss Shaughnessyis illness during December and January, Miss Healey kindly consented to act as faculty adviser for those months. The Argus is a magazine published by students of Classical and supervised by Miss Shaughnessy on the literary matters and Mr. Arey on linancial affairs. The edi- torials, essays, stories, reviews of events of interest to the school, and humorous articles are all written by students, either the editors or the rest of the school. If there is anything for which the Argus is especially noted, that thing is its covers. These are done by pupils in the Art Department, and these pupils alone are to be thanked for the colorful, sprightly covers which make the Argus stand out among the publications of the Worcester high schools. There were three special issues. put out this year: the December one, which was devoted almost entirely to Christmas, that for February, which contained a directory of the school, including the telephone numbers which were such a popular innovation last year, and the June issue, traditionally dedicated to seniors, which gave them their last chance to publish an article in the school magazine. There were several new columns introduced during the year. One, called MBehind the Desk Lidf' preserved those delicious bits of classroom humor which occasionally put in an appearance. Another gave definitions of familiar Classical objects, definitions which have to be read to be appreciated. A third was a discussion of the changes one would like to make in Classicalls. curriculum. One of the most popular was a review of the hit records. The board also started a serial, which died a. natural death after its chief characters, two lovable germs, had been killed off. The Argus, which will come of age in June, 194l, has formed an integral part of the school life. lt is especially valuable to the class of l940, since it chronicled the departure from and return to the Irving Street building by a hurricane-driven student body. To those who have preserved it, it will furnish a complete record of their high- school days. F ifty-four 1 C. II. S. D. A. Three especially noteworthy things happened to the Classical High School De- bating Assembly this year: twenty-nine new members were admitted, supplying the club with so much new blood that in a couple of years it ought to be the best assembly ever, the President, Haskell Grodberg, covered himself with glory by winning the championship of Massachusetts in the oratorical contests sponsored by the American Legion, and the assembly had a joint meeting with the Aletheia. lf it seems strange to you that this last event is dismissed so lightly, be reassured: more will be said later. The first meeting, which took place in November, was devoted to election of ofiicers. Seniors made a clean sweep of the four major offices: Haskell Grodberg was elected President, Marcus Grodberg, Vice-President, Richard Stearns, Secretary, and Donald Baker, Treasurer. A debate with Tech was discussed. This discussion, by the way, was carried on for several months, and then the matter was dropped, because the assembly, for lack of time and facilities, could not prepare satisfactorily for an outside debate. The programs of the following meetings, with the exception of that with the Ale- theia, consisted of open Hoor discussions on the subjects, 4'Does the Bill of Rights, as embodied in the first ten amendments to the Constitution, still guarantee those privi- leges for which it was written? , uResolved: That the United States Government should own and operate the railroads,'7 and NFiXing the responsibility of the Finnish debacle. The last turned into a discussion of the whole war situation, up to the time that Germany invaded Norway. There was also one debate on the question, HResolved: That the United States should continue with its reciprocal trade treatiesfl This debate provided good practice for the meeting with the Aletheia, at which there was another debate, Resolved: That the United States should continue its policy of isolation from European alfairsfi In order that there should not be too much rivalry, a boy and a girl were on each side. The debate was preceded by a book report by an Aletheia girl and a declamation by a C.H.S.D.A. boy. The C.H.S.D.A., filled with the traditions of a quarter of a century of achievement, has provided and will continue to provide, under the capable guidance of Mr. Howe, inspiration to many a boy. There are twelve members of the class of 1940 who will never forget it. Fifty-five GREEN RO0M CLUB Our heartiest commendation goes to this organization for its 1 persistent activity, despite its difliculty in finding time and place W L to meet while Classical was harbored at North. Credit is due to the oliicers, who did their full duty in keeping up the old spirit. Gloria Lennard was President, Leonard Israel, Vice-President, Lillian Wood, Secretary, and Edwin Meyer, Treasurer. The Green Boom Club has always been exceedingly popular, and famous for its hilarious meetings. Just as in past years, the 1939-40 season produced more candidates for admittance than could be taken. Among the fortunates who attained a position in the select circle were several Seniors: Wlarren Ash, Haskell Grodberg, Virginia Shea- han, Richard Stearns, and Martin Styles. Stearns started off with a bang, and was still creating a commotion when he appeared in the Senior Play. But more of that later. First, the yearis program must be outlined. It was planned that two or three one- act plays were to be presented at each meeting, by the various members. Some of these performances were screamingly funny-eespecially the improniptus. Everyone was given an opportunity to demonstrate his thespian ability. At the December meeting, Mr. Post announced the plans for the Christmas Play. Rehearsals then proceeded smoothly, and at the Alumni-Day assembly, Guest House- Very Exclusive was presented. The cast included Constance McKerroW, Edwin Meyer, Sumner Berlyn, Alice Slein, Ruth Norton, Dorothy Donahy, Shirley Gordon, Billy Dorman, Norma Dick and Lucille Johnson. The bi-monthly meetings continued regularly until April, when we returned to the Alma Mater. Then, for the first time in almost two years, the Green Boom Club gathered again in Mr. Postis familiar home room. That same month, in the old assem- bly hall, the Senior Play was presented. Second only to the Prom is the annual Senior production in its importance as a social event. lt is not unusual for most of the school to turn out for it, students and faculty alike. This year the house was comparatively small, but those who did not go really missed some fun. lt was a surprise not only to the school in general but to most of the Green Boom Club, and, l suspect, a little of a revelation to Mr. Post to discover that the Senior Class has a potential Tyrone Power. And he is Danny Breen. In Broken Dishes, he and Ruth Norton provided the romantic element. Other Seniors in the play were Dick Stearns, who played the role of a deaf old deacon, Leonard Israel, the villain, Sum- ner Berlyn, the dish-Washing father, Violet Griffiths, a jealous sister talong the One Eyes linej , and Franklin Silverman, the Sheriff. The remaining cast included Dorothy Donahy, tdomineering wifej, Barnett Lonstein, and Carol McCarthy tthree Eyesj. Fifty-six ALETIIEIA The first meeting, as well as all the others between October and February, was held at the Art Museum. It included a discussion of current events and the latest books on world affairs. lt turned out to be an earnest debate, for the whole club joined in to express their views. Nothing was decided, but everyone had a grand time. Last June, of course, the elections took place, with the result that Donna Watkins was voted President, Bernice Mintz, Vice-President, Shirley Carr, Secretary, Virginia Sheahan, Treasurer, and Lois Ayres chairman of the program committee of Aletheia. The second meeting was taken up with reports on sveeral best-selling novels. It seemed that everybody had read one or more books during the Summer, and wished to voice her criticism of them. So again there was open forum, and the girls became so engrossed in arguing about the purposes, methods, and underlying ideas of the various authors, that Lois had to remind them of the time. A Christmas party at the home of Ellen Mahn, one of Aletheia's Junior members, was substituted for the December meeting. The club presented Miss Williams with Durantis Life of Greece. We believe that if a poll were taken, everyone would vote that this meeting was even more fun than those previous. The arts are all very well, but a game of bridge and refreshments have their attractions. In January, the society was so fortunate as to obtain a phonograph and some recordings of classical music, so that the meeting was devoted to two operas, La Tosca and Porgy and Bess. There was a brief biography of Puccini, followed by a libretto of his opera, and then the best-known arias were sung by Jessica Dragonette and Lawrence Tibbett. To finish the program, the story of the life and work of the late George Gershwin was also summarized, thus contrasting classical with popular music. The last meeting to be held at the Art Museum consisted of a description of English drama from the fifteenth to the twentieth centuries. Afterwards, the entire club participated in the enactment of one or another scenes from famous plays of the various periods. It was extremely fascinating and much more clear than a text book could make it to watch the gradual transition from the exaggerated comedies of Sheridan to the easily-written but tense drama of contemporary writers such as A. A. Milne. In May, the boys' C.H.S.D.A. proposed a joint meeting with Aletheia, for the pur- pose of having a rousing final debate before the end of the year. The girls were a little wary of the proposition at first, for the Classical High School Debating Assem- bly has won fame for its very excellent orators. But it was soon agreed that one boy and one girl would be on each side. The subject of the debate was: uflesolved, That the United States should retain her isolation policyfl Both sides were admirably pre- sented-but the two female contenders became rather excited at one or two points of the rebuttal. Then followed a short declamation by another C.H.S.D.A. member, and a book review by a girl. Thus closed Aletheiais program for the year. F ifzy-seven STAMP CLUB An unusual gathering place for the first meeting of the Stamp Club in December was provided by Mr. Fenner. Because he found that all available rooms in the Audi- torium were already filled, he told the members that they could meet in the first small hallway that is seen when one enters the center back door. When everyone was as com- fortable as possible under the circumstances, a short business meeting was called to order. New members were welcomed and Henrietta Treadwell was elected Vice-Presi- dent to fill a vacancy. The Club then discussed the matter of dues and decided to sub- scribe to the magazine 'LStamps.w Before the meeting adjourned, souvenir stamps from the Philatelic Truck were distributed to those who had not obtained them when the travelling exhibit of United States stamps came to Worcester last summer. On February 8 and March 7 the club met in a room of the Auditorium. Part of each meeting was given to the discussion of mounting stamps. All members. contributed by telling about the ways in which they arrange them and about new ideas which they had not yet tried. Many of the members decided to put the ideas into use for exhibi- tion purposes. lVIr. McKinley helped the members develop the plans which were liked the most. During the February meeting, bi-monthly gatherings were suggested and it was decided in lVlarch that the new program would begin when the school moved back to the Classical building in April. The club Hrst got together at our own building on April 4. The afternoon meeting attracted so many members that there were more present than at any previous time. Plans decided upon for the remaining meetings included an outside speaker, an auc- tion, and the election of olhcers for next year. A committee was then appointed to make the arrangements and conduct the auction. Frank Wood, a prominent Worcester philatelist, gave a talk at the second meet- ing in April. He spoke about the numerous errors in stamps and told us about many interesting sidelines which may be developed. After he had spoken, he invited all the members to look more closely at the stamps which be had with him. The club gathered for the first time in lVlay to hold the auction. Both used and un- used stamps of the United States and foreign countries had previously been brought to the auctioneer. All members participated and for surprisingly small sums obtained stamps which they desired. The second meeting in May was devoted to the one hundredth anniversary of the issuing of the t'Penny Black Stamp of Great Britain. Henrietta Treadwell and Robert Burton gave short, interesting talks on the subject. The remaining time was used to give a stamp quiz which showed that the general information of members was very ood. g The June gathering was given over to the election of officers for next year. We hope that they will do as well as if not better than this yearis oliicers. Mr. McKinley will continue to hold his position as faculty advisor for the Club. This year's officers were President, Shirley Carry Vice-President, Henrietta Tread- wellg Secretary, Edward Kirby, and Treasurer, Bradford Dunbar. THE TIGER CLUB Founded in 1937 by Robert Simonian and John Stevens, the Tiger Club has been one of the most active organizations of the school during the past year. A highly suc- cessful dance was given by the club in December and, with the exception of the Senior Prom, was the only dance given by a school organization in the past school term. Since its rather short existence, the club has had many notable speakers at its meet- ings and has done a great deal to advance the knowledge of the students regarding safety in driving. An informative and interesting assembly was presented under the auspices of the club in February when lVIr. George Hill of the Worcester Safety Council addressed the student body on the art of safe and sane driving. Mr. Hill pointed out the nu- merous advantages of WO1'CCStt6T,S twenty-five miles an hour speed enforcement. Under the able direction of its oflicers, the club has held its members together and has remained intact in spite of the difficulties brought about by our having to attend afternoon sessions a good part of the school year. President Simonian is to be com- mended, for it was mainly through his efforts that the club was able to carry on its activities and hold its monthly meetings. Because of the unusually large membership of the club, the officers deemed it wise to restrict the membership to fifty students. It may be justly said, therefore, that the club was the 1nost popular of any in the school, since no other club has found it nec- essary to limit its membership. The ofhcers for this year were Robert Simonian, president, Edward Kirby, vice president, Mary Doherty, secretary, Thomas Tyman, treasurer, and Elda Martin, stu- dent director. Conffratulations to a s lendid organization! za P an Fifty-nine PYTIIAGIIREAN CLUB How many of you graduates of Classical High School really know what the Pytha- gorean Club stands for? lt is named after one of the greatest mathematicians of the ancient world, Pythagorus, and a group of his associates who called themselves the Brotherhood of Pythagorean. The purpose of the club is to show that problems are invaluable as a supplement to school work, and at the meetings, the members usually discuss topics of mathematics taught in school, problems, puzzles, or sometimes they review the biographies of famous. mathematicians. At the first meeting of the club in November, the oflicers for the l939-1940 season were elected. The following seniors were chosen: President, Marcus Grodbergg Vice- President, Dorothy Bagdigiang Secretary, Gloria Lennardg Treasurer, Haskell Grod- berg. Other senior members of the club were Rosamond Stevens, Marjorie Lovell, Marion Spencer, Jean Nye, lrving Goldstein, and Alfred Mierzejewski. After the elec- tion Mr. Couming, the faculty adviser, gave a fascinating talk on chance in gambling, and he explained the difiiculties of winning by permutation and combination methods. Although the organization worked under difficulties this year because of the ir- regular school schedule, they preserved the annual tradition of presenting Miss Har- riet Pierce, founder of the club, with a gift. The officers also arranged a very inter- esting program, during which Marcus Grodberg, one of the most enthusiastic mem- bers, gave a speech titled uMemory and Mathematicsf, He explained various ways of recalling what one sees as he walks from his home to his oHfice, by association with numbers. Haskell Grodberg then spoke about the remarkable properties of the num- ber nine, referring to magic numbers and magic squares. To conclude the program. Dorothy Bagdigian discussed 4'Sticks. Because of a small membership this year, however, the club did not hold many meetings, but those which took place well warranted attendance. Sixty CADIEBA CLUB Until Mr. Rice willingly adopted the Camera Club in April, the club was an or- phaned organization. Before being taken under an adviser's wing, the members made an attempt to meet every second Monday during the winter at the homes of the va- rious members but they were rather unsuccessful as there was a very small attendance. The members themselves presented talks on different phases of photography following which informal discussions were conducted. Hayden Carlton, James Sullivan, Ben- jamin Burr, Mary Doherty, Richard Atwood, and Ralph Garbutt all opened their homes for meetings. A contest was held, and on December nineteenth members of the club judged the pictures submitted. Benjamin Burr received Hrst prize with his pic- ture entitled Sun Worshippers, James Sullivan second with MlVlain Streetf' and Ed- ward lVIcCarthy third with nStudy.,' The choice of subjects. was unlimited and many excellent pictures were entered. On April twenty-fourth a meeting was held at Classical to renew the club and the following slate of ofhcers was elected: President, Hayden Carltong Vice-President, James Sullivan, Secretary, Marion Spencer, Treasurer, Henry Lajoie. On May second Mr. Alton Anderson, a very well known photographer, gave a helpful talk on the technique of mounting prints. The next week the clubs from Com- merce and North High School accepted the invitation of the Classical society to attend an extremely interesting lecture on color photography by Mr. John Bushong. The friendly spirit among the clubs was continued the following week when Commerce invited Classical to join them in a picnic at Green Hill Park. An enjoyable afternoon was spent taking pictures, and a fine supper was furnished by the Commerce Club. The four closing meetings of the year were also most pleasant and profitable. One was a tour conducted through the Studio of J. Carroll Brown, Mr. Conger spoke on commercial photography at another, the club watched lVlr. John Bushong print some color pictures at his studio at a thirdg and an outing was held which concluded a year full of many activities well worth while. Sixty-one AGASSIZ CLUB This year saw the birth of a new club at Classical. It wasnit entirely new, however, because it was the combination of the former botany and biology clubs. Under the leadership of Mr. Cravedi and lVlr. Weed this organization began shortly after the students returned to Classical from North. At the first meeting officers were elected for the remainder of the school year. Jeanne Dorman was chosen president, Robert Simonian vice-president, ,lane Chafhn secretary, and Hazel Wlelles treasurer. The name of the club was decided to be the Agassiz Club, because Agassiz was both a biologist and a botanist. A committee was appointed by the president, composed of Muriel Bergstrom, Marion Shaw, Gary Man- dell, and Irving Jacobs to read the constitutions of the two former clubs and to make the necessary changes. The members also decided that the dues which were collected for that year were to be used toward supplying Classical with a moving picture camera as a lasting showing of what the club had done. At the next meeting, Mr. Richard Potter, the new director of the Worcester Na- tural History Museum, addressed the members on 4'Conservation, showing the boys and girls what the United States has failed to do in recent years and what it must do toward conservation for future generations. A short business meeting was called the next time the club met. ,leanne Dorman presented the plans for a field trip for the following week. When the club met again, the constitution group reported upon their findings. When everything had proved acceptable, the constitution was proclaimed the ollicial one of the Agassiz Club. Although the Agassiz Club started late, its growth was very rapid and its achieve- ments noteworthy. If it continues as it began, its future is indeed. secure. Sixty-two CHESS CLUB The far-flung Brotherhood of the Chess-Board, which has branches in every city, town, village, and hamlet on the globe and outposts in millionaires, mansions, ho- boes' shacks, trappers' cabins, and cow-punchers' bedrolls, has established a thriving offshoot right here in Classical. From among our own students have been developed masters of attack and maestros of defense, brilliant strategists and cunning tacticians, daring exponents of the blitzkrieg and conservative generals skilled in the war of attrition. For chess is like a battle, with all a battle's problems of maneuvering for position, consolidating oneis forces, conceiving a plan to penetrate behind the enemy's lines, carrying out sudden raids against enemy outposts, capturing prisoners, obtain- ing reinforcements-in a word, chess has all the thrills of war with none of the pain and bloodshed. With the twelve sets which were bought with the dues of the club, the chess en- thusiasts of Classical engaged in internecine warfare every Wednesday afternoon. These enthusiasts were all boys during the V939-40 season, for Classical girls have never seemed to care much for the game, although in 1938-39 two or three of them joined the club. Not all of the games played were confined to intramural activity, some matches were played with Wforcester Academy, a perennial opponent of the Classical organization. The two groups have always presented well-matched teams, thus affording a thrilling contest, the outcome of which is never known until the last game is over. This year was no exception to the rule, the two teams splitting fairly even, although Classical had a slight edge. George Comstock was President of the club until February, when he was suc- ceeded by Martin Woolf, brother of Alexander Vifoolf, one of the founders of the club. The other officers are appointed by the President, but since there was no need of them this year, they were dispensed with. Many of the members came from Providence St. Junior High, where they learned to play, and many others were taught to play by the club. lndeed, the club will at any time teach any Classical student how to play the royal and ancient game of chess. Any prospective player may be sure of a hearty welcome into the Brotherhood of the Chess-Board. Sixty-three MIIDEL AIRPLANE CLUB Classical can boast of the first and foremost Model Airplane Club in the city schools. Under the guidance of Mr. Howland, the club set out early in the fall to con- quer the air. The group co-operated in constructing a giant model propelled by an actual gas motor. Romantically designated uThe Buccaneerf, young craftsmen ex- perienced the satisfaction of a job well done, when in the test flight, the model proved air worthy. The Club was formed to unite students of a common interest, and to encourage budding plane designers whose talent offers vast and unexplored occupational pos- sibilities. After parliamentary routine, an open discussion ensued, which perhaps argued the relative merits of the folding prop versus the unfolding prop, or the theory of downthrust. Some member usually did a bit of voluntary research on technical points to offer more authoritative opinions. The group was addressed by William Gus- tafson, leading member of the North Model Airplane Club, at a fall meeting. Henry Lajoie, Club President, appeared on the Youth Speaks program lobbying for his hobby. But the Club was not confined to strictly technical problems, for many informal dancing parties were held in member's homes. A high testimonial to the ingenuity of the craftsmen and their flying ability was offered when Classical was nosed out by one-tenth of a second in formidable competition sponsored by the West Boylston Model Airplane Club. It was this competition that furnished many a Classicalite with a chuckle. George Comstock was in pursuit of a vagrant model whose vagaries were rather extensive and covered en route a soggy cow pasture. Of course George was in his car. Definitely tragic to Georgie,s eyes was his car stuck fast in pasture mire. But the resourceful President, Hank Lajoie, had an uncle, as in most stories. But Hank's uncle was a farmer, and owned a catapult tractor, and lived across the street! At the approach of Hank and George on the catapulting tractor, the mob dispersed before the utank, as it appeared. Georgie's car was catapulted out. May llth, an Inter-High Contest initiated by the Classical Club was held at Battery B Farm. Classical airmen dominated competition throughout. Highlighting the Club season was an address by a Westboro Airport Official. Then the Club went aloft to gain some first hand knowledge on the theory of downthrust. The officers elected were President, Henry Lajoieg Vice-President, Walter McCar- thy, Treasurer, Raymond Thayer, Secretary, Kaye Butlerg Corresponding Secretary, George Comstock. Zaven Pachanian served as Sergeant-at-arms. The Club was faith- fully advised by Mr. Howland. Sixty-four IIISTIIBY CLUB ln November of 1939 a Classical tradition was re-established when our History Club came out of its year-long retirement determined to go on to bigger and better triumphs than those enjoyed by its famous predecessors. The club constitution was resurrected from the debris of what was once Mr. Brennan's room, very much bat- tered outwardly but with important provisions still intact. First step in reorganization was the election of these ollicers for the 1939-1940 season at a short business meeting: President, George Downeyg Vice-President, Eu- gene Dalrympleg Secretary, Clare Weeksg Treasurer, Virginia Sheahan. In December, the club under the direction of program chairman, Dorothy Davis, conducted a question bee. The queries elicited much information correct and other- wise on affairs of the world. After final tabulations had been completed, first prize for the girls was awarded to Rita Driscoll, that for the boys to James Early. A con- solation award for effort was given to Lois Ayres. After several postponements the final meeting of the season was devoted to the nomination of officers for 1940-1941. S ixty- five J assi c Qflflyflzs MU SICAL UIIGANIZATIIJN S The irregularity of the school schedule of this past year incon- venienced the musical organizations to a great extent, yet all these clubs came through with flying colors. Probably the group which deserved most praise was the Girls, Glee Club, whose members co- operated at all times with their energetic conductor, Mr. Albert W. Wlassell, to give us a fine club through much hard work and faith- fulness. The officers who were proud to represent this group were President, Martha Carlson, Vice-President, Florence Katz, Secretary-Treasurer, Gertrude Casheng and Librarian, Claire Keenan. I' With the aid of a most able accompanist, Florence Katz, the Glee Club made a splendid showing during the annual concert which was given jointly with North High School. In fact, the work was so good that Mr. Wassell entered it in the music festivals this year. These were indeed memorable occasions, especially since it was the first time a Glee Club had been registered to compete in a festival under Mr. Wassell. There the group received the most coveted reward, an HAH rating, which it certainly deserved. The first school assembly was opened with a rousing greeting from our school band. Although this club was organized rather late, it quickly caught up for lost time. The highlight of the band career of this year was at the annual concert Where the audience was carried away by an inspiring performance. The band continued the custom of attending the Festivals in Massachusetts, bringing home with them their usual high MAP rating which most of Classical's musical groups have the honor of receiving at these contests. The olhcers were President, Haskell Crodberg, Vice- President, Roy Bahariang Secretary-Treasurer, Dorothy Johnson, Librarians, Irving Jacobs, Sidney Kravitz, Stage Managers, Wfalter Dick, David Kraft, Eugene Cohen, Manager, Paul McGrath. One of the hardest working divisions this year in the music department was the orchestra. The unusual schedules for rehearsals at the Municipal Auditorium were difhcult for all concerned, yet the conductor's and members, love of music, determina- tion, and co-operation joined to give the school an industrious and faithful group. The orchestra participated in several assemblies, the annual concert, Wforcester Easter Morning Sunrise Service, and completed a busy year by attending the two Music Festivals in Massachusetts. The officers were President, Marion Spencer, Vice-Presi- dent, Roy Bahariang Secretary-Treasurer, Donald Baker, Librarian, Edith Gordon, Assistant Librarian, Virginia Jablonskig Stage Manager, Myron Laipson, Assistant Stage Manager, Murray Yetvin. The Boys, Clee Club was the smallest of all the muscial clubs, but it had a valu- able compensation in that Mr. Wassell was able to specialize with individual voices. After' their performance at the annual concert, we Classicalites had many reasons to be proud of the boys, very good showing. The Glee Club has a very promising future Sixty-six THE IIRCIIESTBA with a firm foundation of veteran voices and a large enrollment for the next season. The officers were President, Norman Blodgettg Vice-President, Sumner Berlyng Sec- retary-Treasurer, Donald Botwayg Librarian, Edwin Meyer. This past year the activities of the Mixed Chorus were rather limited, however all their public appearances were welcomed most enthusiastically by the school, espec- ially the Christmas carolling. Because the membership was unusually small, Mr. Wassell was able to give certain pointers to each individual singer, a privilege which a larger chorus can never enjoy without spending a great deal of extra time. We know that this group will have a successful season next year because Mr. Wassell has worked particularly hard with his underclassmen who will furnish a dependable nucleus for a promised large enrollment of prospective choristers. Thus the wheel is kept turning, all groups have enjoyed great success. Tll E BAND GIRLS' GLEE CLUB B0YS9 GLEE CLUB FO0TBALL TEAM The doughty Classical Tiger went to the football wars eight times last fall, and though failing to emerge all-conquering, en- cw riched Tiger tradition of courage in combat, and of grace in de- f X feat. Classical, defending champions, were painted in a roseate hue by infallible uexpertsf' But no one could foresee the injury riddled team that finished the season. Bedoubtable veteran stars like crashing Vitty Yablonski, the scintillating Zecker, and Co-captains Tony Never- dauskas and Bill Connor were incapacitated in early season games. So Coaches Cant- well and Brennan had to develop a team of young underclassmen. This promises powerful Classical arrays in future years. The initial clash under flood lights found a healthy Tiger clawing a North Polar Bear into submission 20-6. Smashing a weak North frontier, Vitty Yablonski blocked two North punts, and the Classical opportunists promptly tallied. The team took an early season trip to Gardner, and held a high powered Gardner eleven to a l3-0 score. After absorbing a 26-O trouncing from a heavier St. Peters team, Classical op- posed South in their second Inter-High clash. By this time the Tiger was but a rem- nant, bereft of his veteran stars. Chink Wiechniak, a newcomer, established himself as a brainy field general in this game. South emerged victor 20-0. Classical played host to New Bedford and reluctantly permitted their guests to take home a 13-0 decision. Mainly through the defensive brilliance of guard ,lohn Sutkus, the Commerce jug- gernaut was pressed to eke out a ILL-0 win in a hard fought game. The Tiger stalked once more upon the victory path when the Academy Grays fell 19-0. The superlative Yablonski, adopting will-o-the-wisp tactics, romped to 3 scores covering an aggregate total of more than 120 yards. The vaunted Bed Baiders from St. ,lohn's., traditional Armistice day rival, ex- perienced great difliculty in penetrating stubborn Classical defenses, finally winning 15 to 6. This was the linale, and a grand one for Co-captains Bill Connor and Tony Neverdauskas, gallant leaders of a plucky team. It was following this game, Jack Cantwell our veteran coach described John Sutkus' line play thus: '4The greatest ex- hibition of guard play by one of my boys in recent years. High tribute was paid Co-captain Bill Connor when he was selected on the Inter- High team for the third year. Co-captain Tony Neverdauskus held down a wing post on this mythical eleven. Sixty-nine BIJYS' IIUCKEY ing champion, a bit disheveled, hopes scattered, but spirit intact, she quitted the scene of conflict dethroned, but already laying plans for next year. Q-5 A team of seasoned veterans, many with two years, experience behind them, Classical won two of her seven games, tied one, and lost four. The line-up consisted of Captain Bud Mellor, goalie, Dick Ahlquist, right wing, Wimpy Carson, center, Zeke Zetterberg, left wing, Sparky Gustafson and Butch Connor, defense. Substitutes were Bill Scannell, Russ Carlson, Ralph Kingsley, Dave Lennan, and Marty Wilson. The season opened with a thrilling game played against South at the Lincoln Street rink. Classical won when Zetterberg scored what proved to be the only point of the match. Connor emulated this feat in the next game, which was also with South and which also ended in a 1-O score. ln the four other lnter-High games, Classical lost to North twice: in the first game 3-O and in the second tan improvementl 2-Og and to Commerce twice: the first also by a 3-0 score and the second ta decided im- provementj 2-1. Ahlquist secured the lone point. The last game of the season, a less important one, was in Winchendon, where Ahlquist managed to tie the score at one all. Every man on the team turned in a creditable performance. Ahlquist was high scorer, having two points to his credit, Connor and Zetterberg following with one each. Carson was perhaps the swiftest man on ice in the whole school. Mellor pro- vided a strong defense and Gustafson was the spark plug for the whole team. The score-sheet is misleading, as score-sheets often are, about the real playing power of the team. Classical was never badly out-played during the season and was always the club to be feared. Zetterberg, Mellor, Carson, Ahlquist, Gustafson, and Connor have won the right to wear their hockey MWF Scannell, Lennan, Carlson, and Wilson are entitled to display the '6C.77 Seventy With high hopes, Classical entered the hockey wars as defend- BIIYS9 BASKETBALL That villainous scamp, Jinx, was on the loose again during the Basketball season and left our fairly hopeful quintet in a state of utter bewilderment. Among his more valuable victims he claimed Benny Zecker, the last straw we had been clinging to, and then Bill Sharry, just long enough to put a decided dent in the teamis self-confidence. Another catastrophic loss was Felix Shilalie, who with Zecker constituted the senior contributions to Basketball. There were, however, bright spots upon this foggy surface, and these were the underclassmen, who carried on in spite of the terrific odds the veterans of the other schools presented. The opening game with St. Johnis, which we won, gave promise of greater things to come, for this was no one-man team as we have had in past years but a co-operative group which spelled success. However, the deplorable luck we experienced in the football season held throughout Basketball, and at the South game we lost Sharry temporarily and Zecker permanently, and with these injuries went all hopes of a championship. Following the disastrous South meet came our tussle with Sacred Heart and in this one we led by a score of 43-37, which accomplishment, by the way, saved us from being placed on the bottom of the list. Our really decisive defeat came from Trade School, in which the final score was 51-17. Our former hosts, North High School, lorded it over us in the succeeding game with four points, and close on their heels came the Commerce quintet, the only difference in the score being one less point for our team. The St. ,lohn7s boys returned to justify their sole defeat and did a thorough job, leaving us with a 39-30 score. Our only out-of-town game, with New Bedford, was a loss but we do not usually win there anyway. Up to this time we had been losing at an average of just a few baskets a game, but as the end of the season rolled around spirits began to sag. The second South en- counter was hopeless, and we lost 47-27, followed by the game with North, the latter boasting 36 and Classical sighing 23. Where St. Peters had formerly won by a single point, they next went away with a record of 43-29, which certainly did not leave our t groggy boys any too happy. We give a vote of sincere thanks to Coach Brennan for doing his best with a young team whom fate had decided to scorn, and if itls any consolation to unclerclass- men, he is sure of a Winning team for next year. The Argus, quote: Bequiescat in pace, Basketball 1939-40. The following made up the squad: Chink Wiechniak, Benny Zecker, Felix Shila- lie, Joe Pietrezak, Bill Sharry, Chubby Brunell, Ralph Kingsley, Bob Devlin, Ken Bergeron. THE SCORES WERE: Classical 26 St. John's 23 Classical North 32 Classical 23 North 36 Classical 21 St. Peteris 22 Classical Commerce 32 Classical 27 Commerce 37 Classical 29 South 30 Classical St. ,lolin's 39 Classical 29 St. Peteris 43 Classical ll-3 Sacred Heart 37 Classical New Bedford 50 Classical 35 Tech ,l.V.,s 43 Classical 17 Trade 51 Classical South 447 Seventy-one TRACK Each year Classical's cross country team appears to be better than the previous one. Because of the fact that the team has been, of late, making a better showing, much more interest has centered around this team in the past year than in other years. Co-captained by Joseph Esper and Henry Lajoie, the Tigers won the plaque given by the Knights of Columbus in the Columbus Day event for the school receiving the greatest number of points. Out of about thirty schools entered in the meet at Nicker- son Field in Boston, Classical placed eighth. Credit should go to Lajoie, Early, and McColl. Coach Cantwell,s track squad has indeed made an excellent record for itself during the past school year. The relay team was the real highlight of the season and it took first honors at the Northeastern meet, beating Boston Latin and New Bedford. Yablon- ski, Gibbs, White, and Stayman were responsible for the victory. At the Seaboard Relays, Classical won both the one lap and two lap relays, beat- ing Chelsea and Portsmouth. Dalrymple, Gibbs, White, and Stayman made up the one lap foursome, while Yablonski, Gibbs, White, and Dalrymple comprised the latter. In the State lnterscholastic Meet at the Boston Garden, the Tigers carried off third place with the relay team composed of Yablonski, Gibbs, White, and Stayman coming in first. This foursome beat Boston Trade and Chelsea. ln the broadjump, Bestick took second place and Yablonski equalled it in the shot-put. The outstanding and memo- rable event of this meet was Sidney Staymanis breaking of the record in Class B 300. Our heartiest congratulations and best wishes go to Sid. Coach Cantwell is justly proud of him. Again second position! was captured by the Tigers in the indoor Inter-High Meet with Stayman second in the 300 and the dash. ln the shotput, Yablonski took fourth, while in the broadjump Bestick walked off with first honors. The relay team held its own in second place. As for the Quadrangular Meet between Worcester, Lowell, Lawrence, and Newton, Classical earned second position while Newton was first. On May fourth at Tech field, Classical was able to secure ten points placing sixth out of seventeen schools entered. Stayman placed second in the 220-yard dash with H. White and Gibbs taking second and third places respectively in 120-yard high hurdles. White also captured third position in the 220-yard low hurdles. Again we must congratulate Stayman who broke the record in the 220. Classical boasted two record-breakers in the 1939 Inter-High Track Meet at the Athletic Field. Stayman broke the 220-yard dash record, and Abbott broke the record in the high and low hurdles. As for the number of points earned by the four high schools, Classical placed second to Commerce with forty-one points. Thus it can be seen that Coach Cantwellis efforts have been rewarded by the ex- cellent showing his athletes have made. May his future track squads be fully as suc- cessful. Seventy-two BASEBALL When Coach Warren Brierley issued the spring call for baseball, the echo re- turned a large squad of rough diamond aspirants, definitely lacking polish, but com- pensating in enthusiasm. If from the throne room of Alhambra's Halls, the 1939 Champion Tiger shuddered to glimpse his successor awkwardly stalking the diamond jungle, he would have recognized only the blue and white color scheme. But Co- captains Blazing Ben Zecker and Bill Connor presented a formidable nucleus for the nine. Walter McCarthy, a holdover, held down the initial sack, and Balph Kingsley patrolled the green acres in centerlield. Colorful Zeke Zetterburg returned to gather in errant balls in the left field pasture. Bay Peterson and ,lim McCann offered their good right arms to the hurling department, and were an added matinee attraction to the feminine fan. One unobtrusive boy who cavorted around third base, drew atten- tion early, and so Dale Grassesschi was installed at the number three hassock, and his potent war club harbored a constant threat toward enemy chuckers. Bestrained by ,lupe Pluvius, the Tiger approached his first big game with unsharpened but anxious claws. The Colonels from South swooped into the lair and despite Ben Zeckerls. blitz ball, which was tagged only twice, emerged with the Tiger scalp, or is it a hide, by a 4 to 2 score. Big Ben garnered two of Classical's eight hits personally, but was a bit wild, a pardonable characteristic of a Tiger. Commerce, the next foe, presented a hurler, Laconto, whose flying pill was as difficult to put your linger on as a mosquito in December, and so Classical absorbed a 9 to 4 defeat. ,lim McCann pitched creditably but sloppy fielding by inexperienced infielders caused his abdication to Gene Houlihan. In the second South game, the Tiger caught the brass ring and most of the balls, so that Bennie Zecker fashioned an impressive 7 to 2 triumph, mowing down thirteen rival batsmen. Co-captain Bill Connor slashed a triple and three singles to put the cellophane on the bacon Bennie earned. Our Ben Zecker and Sam Naughton, St. Peteris ace, squared off in an old fashioned pitcher's duel, which consumated in a favorable decision for St. Peterls 3-2. Intense rivalry marked the game but the umpire wielded a big stick. Counting on a repeat performance by history, the Tiger lunged desperately, but missed the brass ring and some of the balls, and South capitalized for a 5 to 2 victory. Zecker and ,lack Kapowitz gathered two hits apiece, but inability to pull a bingle out of the bat in the clutch left Tigers stranded everywhere. Coach Warren Brierley knew he could count on the spirit of the boys and pre- saged disappointment to any club approaching Classical without due respect. Every opponent recognized the savvy inherent in all of Warrenls athletic teams. Lou Fotiades must be singled out as among the most energetic and competent baseball managers in the city schools. The remaining schedule included a home and home series with Lowell, three games with North and three with Commerce. Seventy-three l 1 i 1 GULF Led by Captain Donald Brown, the Classical High Golf team made many praise- worthy attempts to emerge as victor from their matches. However, their ability was surpassed by that of their opponents and it appeared that Classical was not destined to be in the ranks of the golf champions this year. Although all the high schools were fairly evenly balanced, our compatriots at North were fortunate enough to be labeled as utopsf' Their veterans were superior to the players of the other high schools. ln the first match of the season on May 7 at Green Hill, the Tigers halved the match with South High School. Our players were in excellent form, however, and perhaps in the next game between the two schools, our Alma Mater will come through triumphant. The North Polar Bears carried off first honors in the second match with a score of 6M to ZH. Classical, nevertheless, made a good showing against Northls winning team. On May 16, Coach Bob Erickson's squad again suffered defeat at the hands of Leicester High School. However, it was safe to say that improvement could be noted in the form of the players at that time, thus the outlook for the remainder of the season was by no means dark. Coach Erickson has given every player an opportunity to demonstrate his skill, and several show promise of becoming outstanding golfers in the not too far distant future. This year's first team was made up of the following: Dave Connors, Don Brown, Phil Sheridan, Dave Lennan, ,lim Early, and Leo Sullivan. We offer our con- gratulations. to these boys who have certainly done their best. May their next season be a successful one. Seventy-four BIIYS' TENNIS Boys' tennis at Classical has been the most successful team for the past decade. ln the last seven years Classical has either won or tied for the inter-high championship, something to be indeed proud of and about which we can rightfully boast. Q This year has been no exception. There have been many in- ' , ' 9 teresting and exciting matches, all accountable to the exceptional players on the team. Bennie Segal, captain and manager, and Gareth Mandell, both Seniors. have played for four years and now hold the first and second positions on the boys' team. Both are outstanding players and for four years have given valuable assistance to Coach Cravedi in his coaching of a noteworthy group. Leonard Marcus, Robert Dev- lin, Robert Landry, and Joseph Sharry in order of their ranking are the remaining members of the team. ln Richard Sharry, Marcus Crodberg, and Donald Kleinburg the team has very able substitutes. Were it not for the conflicting seasons of tennis and baseball, the tennis team would have enjoyed more of Robert Devlinas and Richard Sharryis time and skill. ln their out-of-town games Classical showed its customary skill by triumphing over Middlesex Academy with a score of 6-4. Their next opponent, St. George's Academy, they did not meet with so favorably, as is evidenced by a score of 7-2 in favor of St. Ceorge's. When in their next game, they met St. Lawrence Academy on the court, it was a close and thrilling finish with a final score of 4-3, but with St. Lawrence on the winning team. In the inter-high series their first match was with South. Here Classical tore through the enemyis lines to win a smashing victory of 6-1. Much to their disappoint- ment when they next engaged in battle with North, the latter took them by storm and by a score of 5-2 acclaimed themselves victorious. However, the Blue and While skill came to the front again when they next met Commerce and sent their opponents home to live down a defeat of 6-1. The remainder of the schedule was Norwich Academy, May 22, Moses Brown Academy, May 25, and Williston, Bulkley and Assumption Academies, all of which were out-of-town matches. South, May 28, North, June 4, and Commerce, June ll were the other inter-high games. S eventy-five GIRLS, FIELD IIIICKEY After last yearis championship Classicalis place in the inter- ., high games of this season is not to be compared. Being deprived XXX of several practices because of bad weather, and having a rela- xjblo tively green team, they were forced to accept fourth place. Con- Q D trary to other years, however, only three instead of six games were played, and it was fairly certain that had the others been contested, the team would not have been left conquered, for each game manifested their improvement. Even though they lost every game, each was only by one goal, proving that the eleven were not utterly defeated. The first two with Commerce and North respectively ended with a l-0 victory for the other school, while the last ter- minated With a 2-l score in favor of South. Noted for her good team work, speed, and excellent sportsmanship was Captain Marjorie Lovell. The only girl who was a regular player for three years, she assumed the wing position as a sophomore, and acted in the capacity of right inner for the last two seasons. Contributing greatly to the team was Manager Phoebe Thurston, their most aggressive forward, who was responsible for most of the goals during both this and the preceding year. Seniors who have proved capable as regular players for two seasons were Marianna Johnson, whose persistency and determination won her the coveted position of center half back, Frances Palmer, as the left half back, who exhibited the best stick work of the entire team, and Lois Ayres, a dependable full- back. Marion McKenna,s clever dribbling and Jean Patterson's hard drives which cleared many a ball from near the opponent's goal won for themselves places among this yearls eleven. Particular mention should go to Dorothy Blackburn who played in her junior year, and, except for an illness which forced her to give up hockey, would surely have been an outstanding Wing because of her excellent stick work and good judgment. During the encounter with South, Coach Sarah Whitin substituted several other Seniors among whom were Dorothy Davis, a speedy wing, Frances Devlin, a con- sistent fullback, and Rose Sadowski, a well-trained player. Although she did not participate this season, Elizabeth French deserves credit for her good performance during the 1938 season. Particular merit should be extended to Miss Whitin who trained the victorious team of last year and who has devoted so much extra time and energy to the welfare of the squad. Sophomores and Juniors who helped to comprise the team were Anne Morgan, Buth Maloney, Patricia McGill and Ellen Mahn. Substitutes were Louise Mohler, Helen Carroll and Marjorie Cole. Those girls who earned their W's last season in- clude Marjorie Lovell, Phoebe Thurston, Marianna Johnson, Frances Palmer, Ma- rion McKenna, Jean Patterson, Rose Sadowski, Frances Devlin, Dorothy Blackburn, Elizabeth French, and Lois Ayres. Seventy-six GIRLS' BASKETBALL Pride and joy of the school, the varsity ba ketball team came Their hard work in 111 frames but especially the last, certainly earned this coveted avxaid also It dlspelled any false idea that girls basketball is not excltlnff 'lhe final score of 26 25 should be evidence of this fact. The display of sportsmanship between the players was commendable, because it was the deciding game of both teams. Nancy Stone was the outstanding forward in the game and chalked up a total of 1414 points. Elinor Cruzdis followed with 10 and Marjorie Lovell with two. Marion McKenna, Marianna Johnson, and Phoebe Thurston, guards, had been working together for two years and their playing demonstrated their confidence in one another. The precision in timing and accuracy in passing was deserving of high praise. Never was there such a scintillating display of star playing as in the fascinating game with Commerce.

X ev L za- ' The North game provided a halt from the more strenuous playing of the previous game, and yet the final score was much higher, 33-11. lt opened an opportunity, moreover, for capable substitutes to show their mettle. Helen Carroll, Patricia Mc- Gill, and Anne Morgan replaced the guards and did an excellent job of holding Northvs forwards. Elinor Cruzdis, crack Junior forward, had high score for the game. She tallied a total of 20 beautiful points. Nancy Stone and Marjorie Lovell com- pleted the high score with seven and six points, respectively. Another thrilling game was the one with South. Vlfhen, after some fascinating but somewhat rough playing, Marion McKenna was called out on fouls, many a heart on the Classical side quavered, but in vain for the substitution of Elizabeth French re- moved all doubts of falling down in the guarding end of the team. Although the score was close and at times the future quite black, we won with a total of 23 points to their 20. Elinor Gruzdis scored most of the baskets, and Nancy Stone the rest. ln the Inter-high class games, the Seniors had the best record of our classes and came out in second place. They lost only to South with a disappointing score of 23-25. The work of the Senior guards, Marion McKenna, Marianna Johnson, and Phoebe Thurston, as in the varsity games, was outstanding. It was through no fault of their very smooth playing that the game was lost. Neither, however, were Nancy Stone, Marjorie Lovell, nor Elizabeth French, forwards, to blame, for their teamwork and shooting were not to be belittled. Luck would have it that South should win! The Freshman and Sophomore teams placed third, and the Juniors, fourth. Seventy-seven GIRLS, TENNIS Will Classical regain the girls, inter-high tennis championship lost to North last year? It is a big question, but with the material and promise Coach Sara Whitin has developed in a few short SQ weeks, it is not impossible. The first game with South has been played, with the tigresses taking four out of five of the matches. Because of a late spring and poor weather which deprived the squad of many practices, it was difficult for Miss Whitin to pick the five players, but her choice proved to be shrewd and for the best as have been practically all her decisions. The game saw Captain Marjorie Lovell heading the quintet. She is probably the best of Classicalis tennis boasts as her steadiness and strong, consistently returned strokes manifested. The Lovell family was well represented for her sister, Marilyn, although only a Freshman, has displayed exceptional prowess on the court, and their styles of racqueting are peculiarly alike. Dorothy Johnson, a Sophomore, is another who has exhibited unusual ability, with two such players, together with three others of the lower two classes, the next few tennis seasons look particularly promising. Nancy Stoneis determination and feeling for team play, and Gertrude O,Connor,s flexible wrist and persistency won for them, as Seniors, positions on the team. After more trial matches other Seniors who may win for themselves places among the se- lective five are Mariana Johnson, an all-around girl used to competitive matches and one who can size up the most didicult situation rapidly, Adele Rollins, who displays good form and perseverance, and Dorothy Blackburn, who played an excellent match against the captain. Because of the necessary loss of time the annual tennis tournament, open to all classes, has only reached the quarter finals and those girls who are still in the run- ning include Marilyn Lovell, Nancy Stone, Gertrude O'Connor, Dorothy Johnson, Mariana Johnson, Joan Brauer, and Marjorie Lovell, who, although it can not be definite as yet, will be the probable champion of the tournament. Marjorie has been one of the most well-liked and talented sportsters that Classical has seen for many years, and her popularity was climaxed during this year when the girls of each squad, hockey, basketball, and tennis respectively, elected her captain of the sport in season. Others who have comprised the tennis squad and aided their players by acting as scorers and liners include Adele Rollins, Mariana Johnson, Dorothy Blackburn, Eli- nor Gruzdis, Thelma Cohen, Elicia Carroll, Natalie Fletcher, Joan Brauer, Marina Lyon, Cynthia Tunison, and Shirley Smith.

Haven't you had enough? Eighty-three C assic Cmyfhs. GIRLS' HOCKEY Yesterday I seen my first girls Hockey game. I wisht I had of went to the show like I was going to when Spike came over, but he's wacky about some dame on the team and he didnit want to be the only boy there so he dragged me along. I ainlt never seen a girls Hockey game before and I says to Spike, uSpike,', I says, Hhow can they play Hockey without no ice? That's how ignorint I was. So Spike calls me a ignorint dope, for which I beans him one, and says that they play it on the ground without no skates. When we gets to the Athalettic Field all we see is a lot of girls and some panty- Waists with cheaters on. I says to Spike I'm leaving but he wouldnlt let me so we cop some seats in the grand stand and set down. The girls all around us were all giggling like a bunch of ninnies. I never seen anything that would lafl so much over nuthin as a dame. Spike was looking for his girl but he couldn't find her until an old dame blew a whissel and a bunch of skirts in shorts went out on the field. Then Spike says, uThat's her-the ghoulie.'7 So then I sees a wacky looking blond besides a net like they have in regular Hockey and I pities poor Spike. Then the girls start whacking a puck and the game has began. Spike tells me that there,s, a center backward, and a left wing, and a middle rear end, and a East end and a West end. I live in the South end, so I don,t know them. All of a sudden a fat kid in front of us yells, 'cCome on, you snuckerslw When I asks Spike what,s a snucker he say thatls what they call a girls Hockey player. I thought he was crazy. Snuckersl ll I'm sure glad Iam in the Cashouse gang. Well, everybody was. screaming and yelling all around me and one pantywaist stepped on my toe and I hadda tell him Ild knock him for a ghoul if he got wise, but I couldn't make no sense out of it. I wisht I was in the show watching the Louis- Galento Fight Pictures like I meant to in the first place. Finely it was all over and I asks Spike who bet who and he says his girls team Won. So I says letis. scram but he says wait a minute. Then his girls team goes into a huddle and yells sumthin and the other team goes into a huddle and yells right back. Boy, did I wisht I had a pea- shooter then! After that everybody gets. up to go and the pantywaist steps on my toe again so I beans him and goes home alone, because I couldnlt find Spike. When I seen him today I asks him where he went and he says he got lost. MY WORLD Muddy windows broad and bareg Blackboards casting sunshine glare On open books and half-closed eyesg Voices shrilling Wheres? and Whys? Lazy dust-bits, gray or white, Coasting on a ray of light- My world. Bells which rule each lagging day, Desk-lids crashing, chatter gay, The restless shuffling then the hush Of prayer before the first-hour rushg Rooftops gleaming all aroundg Spires and clouds and urban sound- lVIy life. I want to feel the real World all around me, The ecstasy of life, and hope, and love, It's not enough to watch it through a window, Mysterious as the endless sky above. But school's the one existence that I know, When I leave it, whither shall I go? Qlassf c Cmyfhs THOSE GOOD OLD DAYS When there were things for which we were so grateful, things by which we were amused, problems. by which we were stumped, mischief in which we were involved- those were the days when frolicking fun was found lurking in every corridor and classroom. Each one of us offered as contributions our own little idiosyncrasies to make the class an individual one, one branded exclusively 74-OB. When we were grad- uated, we took with us little pocketfuls ofprecious memories into which we might delve and in which we might delight in later days. Now I am delving and delighting in the memories of Bob Simonianis perfected artistry of blutling. 1QSome day soon l expect to see published 'LHow to Bluff in Nine Easy Lessonsw by a certain aforementioned connoisseurl, remembrances of the daily battle royal waged in the passageway between new and old buildings where the Juniors, charging three abreast, forced the seniors to doff all dignity, inhale, creep along the side of the wall, and hope for the best. The victories were decidedly in favor of brawn over brains. A Shall we ever forget Haskell Grodbergis very punny puns, and his ever-present brown leather suitcase talias. H. G. ,luniorl ? Then, those periodical seizures of nostal- gia which afflicted the whole student body for those pea-green walls, the bull sessions in the assembly hall at recess, the majestic, and time-worn twenty front steps which were so famous, those valuable fourth hour studies, and many times, for a whole private desk of our own! But, until those days would return, we had Bernice Mintzis gift of gab on every subject imaginable to keep us occupied, a few extra holidays afforded us by co-operative blizzards and hurricanes, a maze of rooms in the Audi- torium in which might get lost, and even exploration expeditions in Northis two buildings which produced that look of freshman bewilderment on seasoned seniors' faces. But it was not all bitter fruit-think of the smooth running romances of Alice Mohler and John Burton, Frances Devlin and Walter McCarthy made possible by the afternoon arrangement, Henry Lajoie's '4Walk at Five Down Main Street, rating with the Lambeth Walk and the uSavoy Stompi' which might never have been originated had we been on Chatham and Irving Streets. Remember how grateful we were for Olly Smithis contribution of height towards the class average, nerve-racking and hand cramping moments during Mr. Brennan's ingenious tests, Miss Waiteis never-die geranium touch of indoor beauty? Another part of us was Lois Ayres' latest in clothing and jewelry, and her ability to wear both well, matched by the boys' representative, York Zetterburg, whose bright red shirts, snappy, up-to-the-minute chalk-striped suit, and Beau Brummell walk will always be remembered, Dick Stearn's 'ccutew baby talk, Donnie Kleinbergis ostenta- tious appreciation of both Ancient History and Miss Williams, Benny Zeeker's un- quenchable smile, Wally Tisdale's final adieux to high school life, Mr. Couming's quiet 1:00 to l:l0 periods, George Downey's advice on the treatment of girls, more girls, and still more girls. Shall we ever forget Mr. Post's English Vlll classes, from Henrietta Treadwellis lessons in note passing lguaranteed not to be caught by in- structorsl, Bud Hall's Don Juan appearance and line, Dick Abbott's indecision of four years about Ann Morgan. Never let the trio of Miss Shaughnessy's questions, Donald MacAvey's jack-in-the-box start for a recitation, and Jimmy Horganis sen- tences which began in a very involved manner, ending up lseveral minutes and sev- eral miles awayj with everyone but himself confused, ll wonder nowlll be forgotten.
