VVashington, the man, the patriot, the states- man, the Christian gentleman, the democratic aristocrat, the prac- tical man of affairs, the dreamer of dreams, looms as a colossus on the historical horizon of the republic. The greatness of his versa- tility and the sympathetic warmth of his humanity have trans- cended all national boundaries, and today, Washington belongs not to Virginia, not to the United States, but to the world. The timelessness of his genius has projected him onto the screen of eter- nity, and Washington, the man of Colonial America, has become Washington of the ages. This year the world is celebrating the bicentennial of his birth, and we, the youth of America, especially, are more cognizant than ever of the essential grandeur of Washington's character. We can- not help but see a certain significance that the thoughts of our nation are being directed to Washington in this year of grace Nine- teen Hundred and Thirty-two. In the midst of national depression and discouragement, amidst individual despair and poverty, the youth of America is bidden to gaze on the Figure of George Washing- ton, take courage and carry on. VVe are reminded irresistibly of the quaint legend of King Arthur-that in Britain's darkest hour Arthur would return to save her. This indeed may not be America's darkest hour, but certainly the spirit of George Washington must again sweep through our land, his calm courage and unflinching devotion to the common weal must become the inheritance of American youth if our republic is to recover from her ills, and help lead the world into a new and better understanding of mutual problems. We, the class of 1932, in reverent memory of GEORGE WASHINGTON, rededieate our- selves to his ideals of Truth, Justice, Freedom, and Peace. 113 van tonla :f f l 43 a 17 F I 1952, THE VICE PRESlDENT'S CHAMBER wAsHlNsToN March 21 ,, 1932, To the Class of 1932: Answering your latter of March 17, I think the following would be a good statement in regard to Washington. His great career closed with his death on December 14, 1799. One Hundred thirty-two years have passed, yet he remains one of the greatest single influences in our liveu. His words and deeds are with us yet, influencing and Guiding HS. As he was to the people then, so he is to us now 'First in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymenu. With kindest regards, I am Very truly yours, MALE gan? xo' ' x '47 113'-f N - me 5 A ED R OD I LANDIPIOVIDENC PI.ANTATlQNS Exscu on msn P DV E C I am pleased to learn that the 1952 Cranstonlan, the yearbook of Cran- ston High School, is to be dedicated to the memory and ideals of the First Presi- dent of the United States. I am confident that the writers of the book, by reason of their instruc- tions and their loyalty to their teachers will find inspiration in their laudable efforts, and prove themselves markedly capable of communicating many stirring lessons of true Americanism, patriotism and courage. I am assured that success will attend the making of the publication and, also, that it will be productive of great good in the lives of all who read its pages. an S. Case March 31. 1952.

It is true that the old held school houses taught little more than reading, writing, and arithmetic, but these humble institutions are not to be scorned, for it was in one of them, that our first President was taught the fundamentals of education. Under the tutelage of Hobby, the parish sex- ton, who was reputed to have been a convict before becoming a kind of indentured servant to teach the children on the Washington plantation, George Washington learned much of the knowledge which was later invaluable to him as President. Like his father, George planned to become a plantation owner, and was instructed accordingly when he was sent, at the age of twelve, to school at Bridges Creek. His educa- tion there was plain and practical, consisting of three R's, plus bookkeeping, and land surveying. George specialized in the latter, for it was most important in his day. Every boy was trained to become a planter, with a little knowledge of law and surveying for the purpose of settling land disputes. He also excelled in mathematics. Washington never attempted to study foreign languages, and was never unusually adept at expressing him- self in very polished English. Washington applied himself diligently to his studying, although he yearned to go to sea. ln all his lesson books, many of which have been preserved, neatness and efficiency are displayed, as well as an almost infallible accuracy. With the exception of a few sketches made in his copy books of nondescript birds and profiles of his classmates, all was business- like in his work. After his education at Bridges Creek and a short term at Wakeheld, Washington completed his education at an excellent academy in Fredericksburg, where he studied those subjects which would serve him best in a military career. This training he received in the disciplinary line as well as in the art of surveying, enabled him in later years to manage something far greater than the plantation. Despite the fact of his own success in life, VVashington never forgot that he had wanted to go to school. He, himself, never gave up the pursuit of knowledge, and realized that many children who strongly desired to secure an advanced education were prevented from doing so by financial difficulties. He was of the opinion that these children should be educated in order that they might become better citizens of the United States. In view of this characteristic of Washington, it is interesting to note that he took over the respon- sibility of educating his step-son and nephews. After the Revolution, Washington broadened his educational activities, founding the Alexandria Academy for poor children, to which he bequeathed one thousand pounds. The school still stands, and the fund itself has been absorbed by the public school system of Alexandria. Later Washington refused a reward of four thousand pounds for himself, but presented it to the Liberty Hall Academy, which today exists as the Washington and Lee University. In spite of universal appreciation, VVashington's interest in scholastic achievement has been largely overlooked. The Washington of military and political fame has largely overshadowed Washington the student.-V.

A thorough mastery of these subjects is very essential fogthe profession of engineering which he has chosen. Next year at Brown you will see him surveying and measuring the campus, and in a few years he may construct bridges and design buildings or even boats. His hobby is boats for he has spent much of his life on the water. Whatever branch of engineering he selects, he has the qualities that will win recognition for him. 62 Glenwood Ave., Eden Park Scientific Ev has been here for four years and now that he is leaving us, there is no doubt that he will be missed, for he is always able to see the brighter side and break up gloom gatherings with his joking optimism.

Her irrepressible giggle can be heard in the classroom when some industrious instructor is trying to teach us something.

For this reason, many of us have not had the opportunity to 1l13.li6HJl1I1CYSH acquaintance, but those who have agree she is a good friend.

WADE NEWMAN BARSTOW 21 Spring St., Pawtuxet Scientific Immediately after his graduation Wade went to Washington to seek his fortune. Whether he will emerge from the capitol as a diplomat or as some other government official, we do not know. But we do believe that he will be successful in whatever Held of endeavor he may choose. During his four years here, Wade has built a fine reputation as a scholar, officer, and an all round good fellow.

JOHN WILKINSON LEES 36 Ansdale Rd., Oaklawn Manual Arts The saying, It's an ill wind that blows no good, applies to john. for Technical High lost a cheery and capable student when he came to Cranston in 1929. Though new to this high school, John immediately got acquainted, and there are few who do not know this cheerful and helpful fellow. As a Green Lantern collector, he has shown his efficiency, and the fact that he is in the Rhode Island Honor Society proves his mental ability. When John goes out into the industrial world, we are sure of his success, and we all give him our best wishes. Gr. Lan. Collector C459 R. I. H. S. Leaders' C.

We see him also at all the parties and dances with a ready Smile and a twinkle in his eye, either dancing or playing.

The second is shown by her record in basketball, tennis, and swimming. Surely she is an all-around student who excels in mind and body.

Immediately voices rose in protest, rescue for the honor of our class was prompt. Out of the ensuing babble came Ralph lVIcLeod's vehement assertion vouching for our athletic ability. VVe have had more lettermen than any other class! he said. Statistics show that one third of our ninety-five classmates have received the athletic insignia. At one time or another Ralph has managed most of the athletic teams and certainly should know what he is talking about. HWhat about our socials? interrupted Eleanor Healy, president of the Student Coun- cil. They have been unusually successful. I heard that we made a dollar on our Senior afternoon dance! Eleanor's voice denoted an incredulity which proved quite justifiable when we heard Goodie Prior, chairman of the Social Committee, admitting wryly that the proceeds were only fifty cents. However, President Henry Stanley rushed to the defense of class activities with characteristic ardor. Our Senior Prom was one of the most novel ever held at Cranston, he insisted. A popular feature was the play of colored lights over the dancers, producing an artistic shadowy effect. And remember the awful weather! someone went on with the reminiscences. The girls found it necessary to be carried beneath huge umbrellas to avoid the wet snow. However, Cphilosophicallyj ask any of the alumni, and you will find that it is an old New England custom to storm on the night of the Prom. Nevertheless, remonstrated Barbara Johnson, our efficient little secretary, al- though we have had a lovely time, have we done anything beyond working for our diplomas and having a lot of fun while we were doing it? Have we given the school anything worth while? Another loyal member responded: We have a permanent memorial in the school song composed by Mary Cuddy. For weekly, when the students sing it at assemblies, they will pay tribute to the genius of our class. Another composition that raised our class's rating was Olive Prior's essay on the subject of Armistice Day. The clear, ringing, diction and thoughtful message won for her flrst place in a contest that included the whole school. We are grateful to Olive for main- taining the superiority of the Senior Class. Betty Schofield, in having originated the name of Green Lantern for the school paper, has indelibly stamped the personality of this class upon school life. For further proof of the ability existing among us he wound up in fine augumenta- tive style, we have only to remember the fifteen who have been elected to the Rhode Island Honor Society, and to recall that we have lead many of the important school organizations-the Student Council, the Athletic Council, and the Traffic Marshals. The success of the Green Lantern and the Cranstonian has been due to clever writers from our class. As all appeared quite stunned by this declamation of their proficiency and sagacity, I managed to get in a word. Now listen to me, I dictated. Perhaps you think you are a lot of Shakespeares, Beethovens, and Babe Ruths, but you have not accomplished any more, than have the preceding classes and what's more you are materialistic, immature, and in addition- but the crowd had dispersed and I was left alone to meditate.-S.

Class History of June 1932 SRI HEN, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for the members of the Senior Class to leave the high school wherein they have spent four happy years, it falls to the lot of someone to record their triumphs, and their influence on school life. But what to record, my brethren, what to record? Is it possible that the class of June '32 has done nothing? But wait, over two hundred are graduating, which means that june '32 is the largest graduating class in Cranston history. And-oh, yes, we were also the largest Freshman class with a membership of over three hundred. In fact, the size of the class made it necessary to do away with the Junior-Senior Prom and inaugurate the custom of holding those dances separately. Our scholastic record is one of achievement for thirty classmates have gained membership in the Rhode Island Honor Society. Also, two mem- bers of the class, Violet Manuel and James Ainsworth, have completed their course in three and one-half years. Let us not forget Virginia MacLaughlin, who has won a college scholarship for her outstanding achievement in 4-H work. Smart, eh what? Now, let us consider our individual records. Well, we claim Howie Sheffield and Rod McGarry, the captains of our football and hockey state championship teams. Also, ladies and gentlemen, we have the only American Holland twins in captivity, Frances and Florence, who puzzle the world by who's who. Our class contains jane Sloop, tap dancer extraordinary, and Joe Sullivan, famous orchestra leader. We have the three Mus- keteers -Bosworth, Devere, and Murdock, an example of imperishable friendship, and by the way, we have another triumverate in our class-Helen Mathews, Hazel Rhodes and Eleanor Potter, outstanding girl athletes for three years. And, speaking of girl athletes, Lois Bowen also excels in that line. In fact, the fame of our class has brought many people from other schools to join us. For example, in 1929 Annette Kaufman, star of several annual plays and first girl president of the Thyrsus Club, entered school together with Eleanor Potter and Katherine Barnes, athletes par excellent. In 1930, we fell heir to a group whose records speak for themselves. What student has not heard of Lucille Sutton, John Shepard, Charles Greenwood, Edward Ettlinger and Josef Fogel? And last but not least, in our Senior year came Ruth Hanson, Cmnstonfian writer, and Dean Carragher, the hope of Hope athletes. This completes our history, classmates, and I am sure that in September when school reopens, Cranston will miss the class that our teachers call the worst collectively and the best individually. -E.

O heart, so true! O soul unbought! O eye, so keen to pierce the night And guide the Hship of state aright! O life so simple, grand and free, The humblest still may turn to thee. O king uncrowned! O prince of men! When shall we see thy like again? The century, just passed away, Has felt the impress of thy sway, While youthful hearts have stronger grown And made thy patriot zeal their own. In marble hall or lowly cot, Thy name hath never been forgot. The world itself is richer, far, For the clear shining of a star. And loyal hearts in years to run Shall turn to thee, O Washington. -Mary Wingate -91 K 5 Fi W r w w 1 1 3 I M if 333.12 I 35, f I i ma 7 1 ran t onta l q , lU '1 9 5 2 Mun i? ll ml If Washington's Visits to Rhode Island AHUDDLE of waterside buildings lining Newport harbor, the shouts and cries of sea- men and freight handlersg towering masts sporting gay multi-colored pennants and ensigns, staunch, full-rigged ships disgorging their cargoes from England, Africa,the French West Indies, Ceylon, and far Cathay: this was the first glimpse of Newport, and Rhode Island, afforded George Washington in 1756. He had been appointed Colonel of Virginia Militia, but his authority, in regard to the matter of ammunition and supplies, had been curtailed by a certain English Captain. On a journey to Boston to lay his case before Gen- eral Shirley, the leader of the British forces in America, Washington passed through Rhode Island, stopping at the palatial colonial mansion of Godfrey Malbone in Newport. He spent his birthday there, surrounded by such lavish splendor as he was accustomed to in his own old Virginia. Washington returned to Rhode Island in 1776, when, after having directed a success- ful campaign in Boston, he decided to march to New York, passing through Rhode Island. Governor Cooke made preparations for his arrival and arrangements were made to have him stay at the Stephen Hopkins house. The enthusiasm of the people was boundless, an entertainment being held in Hocker's Hall on South Main Street. Patriotic toasts were given and speeches made. Entertainment was provided by the 'fYe Gentlemen of the Towne and the affair was acclaimed as the most spectacular in the history of the town of Providence. In 1781 Washington again came to Rhode Island to consult with Rochambeau, then in command at Newport. As he entered the harbor on the Conanicut Ferry, the French fleet lying at anchor saluted him with cannon. The people of the town gathered at the dock and so filled the narrow streets that Washington had difficulty in making his way to Rochambeau's headquarters. Stopping at the State House on the way Washington was officially received. Torch parades in the early evening and a ball at Mrs. Cowley's Assem- bly Room marked his stay. Early the following morning he left for Providence by boat so that everyone might participate in this celebration. The town distributed candles to the poor and every house in town showed a light. A reception and dinner was held by candle-light in the evening attended by the leading citizens of the town. In 1790 Washington came again to Rhode Island to show his interest in the decision of this, the last colony to join the republic. In Providence, the windows of the Market House were repaired, the streets and side- walks cleaned and the State House was illuminated. As the boat bearing Washington docked, a salute of cannon was fired from Federal Hill. Church bells were rung throughout the city and the procession started from the South Main Street docks preceded by troops of soldiers and a military band. At Mr. Daggett's Tavern on Benefit Street, Thomas Jefferson, Governor Fenner, judge Blair, and Senator Foster welcomed Washington with flowery eloquence. An elaborate banquet was held in the evening at public expense. After the banquet Washington obliged a group of students from Brown University, by witnessing a special illumination of University Hall. He spent the following day in wandering through the streets of Providence inspecting the city. In the evening he attended another cele- bration banquet even more sumptuous than the first. Toasts followed, brief addresses were again given, and the President soon departed for the wharf where he boarded the boat for his trip to New York City. Thus Rhode Island had its last glimpse of Washington. Because George Washington's visits to our state have been immortalized for us, we of the present day feel that we know him, that for us he is not merely a shadowy character on the pages of history, but rather a flesh-and-blood person who still walks through the narrow streets of ye towne of Providence.-J.

I ,, If 1732-Ye Social Life-1932 UI-IEARE ye, heare ye! Tonite at the King's Arms Tavern, a presentation of 'The Orphan,' by the Moody players. Come one, come all! Don't fail to see this famous English play. The tavern during the colonial period was not only a meeting place where our fore- fathers wrangled over political questions of the day, but it also served as a playhouse before the advent of theatres. Here a strolling theatrical company set up its stage for the presentation of the drama which played such an important part in the social life of the Revolutionary era. Later, the tavern lost its standing as a playhouse due to the erection of theatres. Nearly all the plays, both tragedies and comedies were of English origin and even some of Shakespeare's plays were produced. The tavern, as the social center of a community, was the only place where people could air their views and express their opinions. Not infrequently their arguments became so heated that their discussions resulted in free-for-all brawls. Nevertheless, many im- portant questions were decided and acted upon, around gaming tables, and in billiard rooms. To-day, these matters are handled by interested members of clubs and associations or- ganized for that particular purpose, thereby losing the colorful atmosphere of Washing- tonian assemblies, where men often joined in argument or stated their views over the flowing punch bowl furnished by the host. Gay balls and assemblies, employing the most formal etiquette, were given at private homes. The graceful and stately steps of the minuet were danced with the utmost precision and perfection. In the public houses jigs, reels, marches, and hornpipes were danced with careless abandon, but it would have been beneath the dignity of the gentry to have in- dulged in such public frivolities. Among the moneyed aristocracy hunting, or riding to hounds as it was called, was very popular and was indulged in on all possible occasions. These hunts, a full day spent in strenuous galloping over the vast fields of Virginia, always wound up with enormous dinners of all sorts of good food, and were as gay as they were fatiguing. Special attention was paid to music, and gently reared girls were forced by their parents to practice scales on the spinnet or harpsichord until they literally cried from sheer exhaustion. Concerts were well attended, but sometimes rowdyism in the gallery interrupted the orchestra. It is very apparent that the social life in the colonial period was gay and exciting. just as we of 1932 occupy our time with dances, teas, dinners, card and theatre parties, so likewise did our ancestors spend their leisure hours. It is only when we thus watch our ancestors at play that we come to appreciate the Warm vitality and genial humanity of the age of Washington.-M.

Of course, the gentry had hunting, riding to hounds, and dancing, but the great mass of the people had no physical recreation. The two main reasons were, first, the major- ity of the population was rural and could not get together to form teams, secondly, athletics were banned in schools as the authorities felt that education should not be adulterated with rowdy, boisterous games. However, there were a few holidays on which the people gathered to play games, or otherwise enjoy themselves. The most popular competitive sports of the people corres- pond to our track and field events, including weight-throwing, jumping, and foot racing. Wrestling, boxing, and horse racing were also greatly enjoyed on these rare holidays. Later, after the Revolutionary War, such organized sports as soccer, fives, rounders, and cricket came into prominence. As these sports were the first that required any team- work and squad practice, they are sometimes considered the fathers of our present athletic system. Today in 1932, conditions are just reversed, for the population is now centered in cities, and people can gather in gymnasiums and on athletic fields to enjoy organized sports. Physical development now goes hand-in-hand with scholastic advancement. However, although conditions have changed, sports in a modifled form are similar to those of Washington's time. Rugby football originated in soccer, wrestling and boxing have changed very littleg and track and field events are almost identical with those of two centuries ago. Thus, we may see that while the present attitude toward athletics is comparatively recent, the sports themselves have been played for ages, and although somewhat changed, still retain the features that made them so popular two hundred years ago.-J.

Here many former Cranston graduates gathered in reunion and honored the victorious team. Lettermen were presented with miniature gold footballs, while the re- mainder of the squad received silver footballs. Although several valuable players will be lost through graduation, there is still a considerable portion of the team left for next year. Therefore, we have high hopes of another great eleven next year.

Too much credit cannot be given to Mr. Merritt and Mr. Stebbins for the development of another champion eleven after the graduation of nine valuable lettermen. This year the race was closer than last year, and although Cranston won the cham- pionship, she was not undefeated. Of several close games, the Hope contest was the most important as Hope was leading the league at that time. Another interesting game was the post-season contest with East Providence, which Cranston won, 20-0. Earlier in the season the Green and White gridders had nosed out their old rivals by a score of 6-0. -111- E 'G ax ' - ' T ana ' W 2 5 van wma Uj l 1952 il, ,, Ar HOCKEY TEAM Front Row: Martin Johnston, Anthony Parrillo, Kenneth Phillips, Roderick McGarry, Capt.: John Boehne, Raymond Mathews, Walter Barber Second Row: Mr. Merritt, Coach, Wallace Domin, Lewis Bain, Howard Sheffield, Brandt Nelson, Lester Ek, Mgr.

Our team was in the race from the beginning to the finish. The chief feature of the scramble for the pennant this year was the Green and White contests with Commercial. In the two scheduled meetings, each team was victorious winning one game, and as the same teams were tied for first place at the end of the season, a play-off was necessary to decide the winner. This game Commercial Won by the close score of 2-1. This spring we look forward to another successful campaign as many of last year's team are still available.

Golf In the second year under faculty supervision, the golf team enjoyed a successful season. The team joined a newly formed league and by the conclusion of the season, gained third place. The golfers lost only to Pawtucket and Barrington, while they de- feated Technical once, Hope twice, and tied Pawtucket, Warwick and Technical. The membership of the team was as follows: Robert Burleigh, Howard Calberg, Herbert Felton, Francis Hutchins, Edward Lodge and Donald Kingsley, Manager. Tennis Last year the tennis team did not have a very successful season. However, the players worked hard and some of them showed much improvement under the coaching of Mr. Ferguson. This year the team anticipates a more successful season as practically all of the members of last year's team are included among the twenty-live candidates. Several of the newcomers are known to be experts with the racket, and the veterans must show their best if they are to retain their positions. Members: Thomas Carberry, John Deignan, Guild Devere, Howard Gerlach, Phillip McNeil, Richard Murdock, Gilbert Weller, Charles Plumb, Manager. Boxing Club Although the Boxing Club did not boast many members, those who attended the meetings have become proficient in the manly art under the tutelage of Mr. Cutler. The club provides a means for students to obtain instruction in boxing and to mix-it-up without any bad feelings. The club has been handicapped by the lack of outside compe- tition which would do much to stimulate interest in the organization. Members: Michael Calderone, Dean Carragher, Anthony DeSimone, Joseph Framondi, James Lyons, John Rowan, and Walter Taylor. Wrestling This year a wrestling team was organized and coached by Mr. Horton, a former Brown star, assisted by Sam Rossi. Although there was only one meet all year, the team placed third by Carragher winning the 145-lb. class. We look forward next year to a first class team as the men have now had experience. Members: Dean Carragher, Theodore Gustafson, Hrad Zooloomian, Lowell jenkins, Arthur McDonald, Vincent Oden, William Harrison, john Shepard, John Christy. -121- 2 at ' L ' . .3' Ai ,Y f 51' V311 tOU1Ell? f i g if 5, 1952.

They were by far the strongest team, although the Seniors with their mastered skill of the technique of the game, gave them a very fast and close run for the championship. The Sophomore team gradually finished in third place, with the Freshmen coming in fourth, although they gave the Sophomores quite a surprise in the closing game.

Adviser: Miss Kennedy. Swimming Club The members of the Swimming Club have shown enthusiasm for this sport despite the fact that they must journey to the pool at the Olneyville Boys' Club. Aside from its recreational aspect, swimming has its humanitarian appeal in life saving work. Members: Roberta Baldwin, Audrey Barton, Dorothy Boyer, Emily Brown, Florence Cotton, Mary Cuddy, Ethel Doughty, Eleanor Dunn, Dorothy Goodwin, Althea Graham, Mildred Greene, Louise johnson, Ruth Haenelt, Ruth Harlow, Leonora Henning, Virginia Higgins, Barbara Johnson, Lillian Lokovic, Belle Martin, Frances Miller, Velma Murdock, Dorothy Paquette, Florence Potter, Dorothy Rawcliffe, Frances Sartwell, Florence Sharpe, Muriel Smith, Gladys Snyder, Genevieve Stone, Kathryn Van Artsdalen, Marjorie Walton. Advisers: Miss Arnold and Miss Johnson. Girls' Tennis Tennis has become at last a recognized activity in girls' athletics. The aim is to de- velop class teams this year, so that it will become an interclass competitive sport. Members in good standing are: Isabel Adams, Katherine Barnes, Eunice Clark, Vir- ginia Donahue, Harriet Downey, Althea Graham, Eleanor Hall, Patricia Kelly, Evelyn King, Mary Marshall, jane Morse, Anna North, Virginia Place, Gladys Snyder, Anita Tucker, and Grace Whipple. Advisers: Miss Harrington and Miss Peeling. . -123- Parents' Signatures of '32 Classes bl' iff Qwylvifim ' ' was uf! db, Z I 14 uf ' x- ' sg w3JfM QW Qfff s Qyy JW M My s E 9 Wdffwwfx jmm 'GX G 5, Zn Wwgwfifmiw W ?w'lm 534 ff M2795 gi Z wfwR2'Q5fQff YM? if?
