ShnJr jlslaiifi Niiirtrni lumftrri aiiii lliirtii-finr QJ ore word T HERE are many people in this modern age of wonderful achievements in the various fields of science, industry, and commerce who would have us believe that all frontiers have been swept away; that no new worlds are left to conquer; that we have attained the ultimate stage in prog ' ress. Have we then reached a period of stagnation in the growth of civili:;ation, a period similar to the notorious Pre-Rcnaissanee Century? That question is to he decided by the youth of America, the group that will within a short space of time control her destinies. True, geographical exploration and discovery have been carried through to near completion, but this does not mean that the age of pioneers is ended. Frontiers in science, industry, and economics challenge, more than ever before, the coming generation. These frontiers have been in existence since the dawn of civilization, but never before have they been so prominent, fron- tiers of geographical conquest of new continents and unknown lands having taken precedence over all others. Since territorial outposts have become a thing of the past, the pioneer spirit of the youth of the world — that spirit which is essential for the continuance of civilisation — is turning to new frontiers. Our forefathers faced the problem of conquering a continent. We today face the problem of using and improving that v ' hich they have handed down to us. Men have not as yet dis ' covered the way in which to utilise to the greatest advantage the vast resources of an unfinished country. We see in too many places the ravages of flood, fire, and drought. Here the gauntlet has been thrown down simultaneously to the geologist, the botanist, the forester, and the engineer. Science in all its branches presents new, vital, and challenging problems. For example, who will discover a cure for cancer? Who will make discoveries which will render air travel safe and efficient? Our present industrial system, having collapsed during the current depression, must be replaced. The problem of building a new economic system confronts the younger genera- tion, a problem involving the intricacies of ban king, finance, international exchange, and the cor- rect use of labor and machinery. The political machine of the world which was shattered by the recent war is in dire need of reconstruction upon a firm basis of world peace and amity. Each and every one of these frontiers calls for that same daring spirit of service which burned in the hearts of the pioneers of a century ago. The young man or woman who goes out into the world today without that spirit will be of little aid in the progress of culture and civilisation. It is with this in mind that the Class of 193 chooses as the theme for its publication New Frontiers for Youth. 4. 2 - We, the Class of 193i, affectionately dedicate our Cranstonian to our faculty adviser and friend, Constance M. Hayden, whose keen interest, unselfish co-operation, and untiring labor for the past five years have made possible the publication of an annual worthy of Cranston High School. { 3 } .- Main Entrance, Cranston High School -4 4 ) • Clarence W.

No indeed! Frontiers of milk and honey may be only visions reflected from the past hut there are larger, grander, more important frontiers still before us. America ' s frontiers today are in science, industry, economics, and social relations. Who is to be the pioneer? The Youth of America. Youth is eager for adventure and youth is willing to give itself to a vision — a goal. The goal is the fulfillment of ideals — of high standards which young men and women have bravely sought throughout the ages. In the fulfillment of these high standards lies the chartering of an unknown, unfathomed future. Opportunities for service to humanity, opportunities for exploration in all fields of social adjustment lie before us. However, they demand courage — courage as great as that which the pioneers possessed when blazing new trails; self ' Sacrifice — willingness to give one ' s life to one ' s field of work; imagination — to see the ideal as it should be realised; and — intelligence. By mak- ing the most of these opportunities, the modern pioneer will find expression for the greatest service to the world. Youth today, realizing hardships, sees real life and faces the facts of it with courage and determination. Interest in social problems, current events, and industry make them cognizant of the need for brave, undaunted pioneering. Are courage, fearlessness, will power, and ideals in the Youth of America the sole solution of our material problems? Youth believes not. Education of the highest type is necessary where any valuable work is to he done. Even in high school, education should be broad and include many fields. Every young person should study and analyze the history of the world, if for no other reason than to teach him that war should and can be prevented. If economics were under- stood early in life, the financial problems of a nation would have infinitely better chance of solu- tion. Political science, were it taught in the schools, would bring more vividly to the mind of youth, the interdependence of states and nations. They would see more clearly the intricacies of governments and the motives behind empires. What is more important than the study of people and human relations? By introducing psychology in the high schools, young people would appreciate the reactions of people and learn how best to deal with them. With college comes higher and deeper knowledge. Broadening influences are abundant and life ' s mysteries lead to a brighter, more enlightened path. Specialization is a requisite lor worth- while accomplishments in any field. Each profession is a frontier in itself and the remote out- posts can he reached only through persistent effort and specialized concentration. Let us, as Youth of America, arm ourselves with courage, will power, and high ideals, devoting our energies in one direction. Let us remember that no matter what field we explore, our greatest happiness will come through serving others. We are challenged to lead to a freer, more democratic future. Let us not thrust aside the opportunity. Education points the way, so let us hold high the torch of knowledge. Youth feels and knows No great deed is done By falterers who ask for certainty.

State next year, we feel sure that Lil will succeed. She has proven herself popular and industrious, and has shown her school spirit by two year ' s participation in the Glee Club, and as the Junior High Business Manager of the Green Lantern.

There is a rather amazing weight range among the graduates. The boys weigh in from one hundred and three pounds up to one hundred and eighty-nine. And if there ' s a possibility that Kate Smith ' s genius comes from her she, we have at least one talented young lady in the class, two hundred and fifty-seven pounds, to be exact. One has often to strain his eyes to get a glimpse of her shadow, a mere eighty-seven pounds. What ' s in a name? Among the most common feminine ones v e find beauty (Ruth), strangeness (Barbara), purity (Lillian, Catherine, and Agnes), and peace (Irene, Olive, and Genevieve). The most extraordinary are two pearls (Marquerite and Margery), a star (Esther) and the sea (Doris). The boys are no less versatile in their appellations. Their most popular are pro- tection (Edmund), guardian of happiness (Edward), and defense (William). They boast a chief (Nils), several keepers of the stronghold (Howard), and the glory of the army (Herbert). Both boys and girls are graceful (Grace and Harold), bright (Bertha and Robert), and gifts of God (Dorothy and John). The general expression for disgust is Phooey! and for salutation Hi! It is said that a few greet you, inquire for your health and aunt, and bid you Merry Christmas! or perhaps You like soup, Keed! No doubt, a Cockney would need an interpreter in order to say Hello to this class. The pet aversion appears to be homework, and most of the jeunes fiUes detest reptiles. Combine these idiosyncrasies and you have the famous class of February 19 J5. -4 33 ); •■ QJebniarij L lass U rophectj RANDMA sat rocking in her favorite chair, surrounded hy cushions, and holding in her lap a fairly large, green book, embossed in gold with the words The 1935 Cranstonian. As she slowly turned the pages, her little grandson, Bobby, listened intently as she pointed out the pictures and disclosed the identity of each. Well, well, here ' s Danny Aldrich. He ' s now the proud owner of a prosperous poultry farm. The biggest booster of his products is Bill Derby, your mama ' s grocer. My, my! Gracic Andrews. I remember she formerly worked as a chorus girl at the Silver Slipper. Darcy was leader of the orchestra and Chris Dorgan was the smiling head waiter. Chris had practice as a butler in a Senior Play. Who ' s this pretty girl, grandma? Why, that ' s Ginnie Bartley. She turned out to be an interior decorator. She received quite a tidy sum for decorating the log cabin of Waltei Maguire, the million- aire. Ah! Charles Brothers, the aviator, and Mildred Cole, air hostess on the same line. Now Augusta Brown. She and Willie McKen:;ie became a famous dancing team. The way he whirled her around was marvelous. She always seemed to be up in the air. I saw the two of them once at a theatre where Walt Matteson was an Abyssinian juggler. Augusta ' s sister, Barbara, became Dean at our Alma Mater when Miss Milliken retired. Did any of the others teach there too, Grandma? My goodness, yes, Bobby. Eleanor Gavitt taught English: Harriette Johnston, Home Economics; Marjorie Harlow, Chemistry; and Helen Ehrencrona, Gym. Oh, I nearly forgot, Johnny Driscoll was head janitor. This is Barbara S. Brown. She became a pharmacist. Her store was just across the street from that of Turndahl and Brown, electricians. They Vv ' ere great friends of Howie Butler, the plumber. Well, well, Eleanor BuUard. Both she and Dot Corey were married a year after graduation. Eleanor married a wealthy old man who died six months later. Grandma, what happened to this girl? Bertha Cagnon? Let me see now. She became a Salvation Army lass, and Gertrude Caracu:;;o and Fred Verdich were known for some time as the best dressed man and woman in New York. And this is Lillian Cotton, your sister ' s elocution teacher. And Elsa Dahlgren, my favorite hair-dresser. Now this boy is Ralph DiPrete. He ' s the shoe salesman m that new downtown store. Who ' s this little boy. Grandma? My gracious sakes. That ' s Ernest Drew. He became a heavyweight champion after taking George Atlas ' s famous course in muscle building. And Harold Drew and Penelope Rittmann operated a detective agency for lost dogs, children, and jewels. Ernest Duckworth became a missionary and Vincent Jackvony an explorer. They are now in Africa looking for cannibals. Charlie Dwyer went with them because the piano tuning business wasn ' t very profitable. Marguerite Dwyer. I think she was a trape:;e star in the Barnum and Bailey Circus where Sheldon Moore rode a bucking broncho. Joe Faupel, the golf pro, spent days on end trying to teach Bill Harrison to be a golfer, but Bill would rather play hockey. Grandma, is this one famous? Yes dear, you ' ve probably seen his picture m the paper. It ' s Irving Fay, the warden at Sing Sing. And this is Domenick Filippo, the Chief of Police at Cranston. The first woman traffic cop there was Olive Owren. And Helen Napier was District Attorney. When I went to her office once I saw Dorothy Ryan, a typist there. Herb Jepson and Gordon Smith achieved their childhood desire of being firemen and rescu- ing damsels in distress. The last I heard Nevv ' some was dog catcher and Rose Cel- lemme, truant officer. Was this boy very smart. Grandma? My, yes, John Fletcher made quite a name for himself in the engineering line. This boy, Walter Gartner, took over his father ' s furniture business and hired Lucy Foglia as clerk. This girl, Esther Friend, was on the staff at R. I. State College as -4 34 } ■- Biology teacher, and Frances Miller and Earl Cillcy as Professors of Mathematics. Grandma, this girl ' s name looks familiar. It should, Mildred Morris ' s sketches are on exhibition everywhere, and the girl down here, Marion Morse, is designer for Dot Petrone ' s fashion salon. This gu-1. Dorothy Frost, was governess for a v ' calthy family while she and Clarence were saving up to get married, and Elvira Ritacco worked there too. I still can ' t get over Paul Gardner being a harpist. These boys, Ginolfi and Golini, at last yielded to the urge to ' Join the Navy and See the World. Oh, yes this is Norman Green, my dentist, and here ' s John Griffin, the street-car conductor, who won $50,000 on the Irish sweepstakes. This girl looks nice, doesn ' t she, Grandma. And so she was. Catherine Hanrahan worked at Western Union. She lived v. ' ith Irene Mitchell who ran a teashop where Joan Harkins aiid Doris Mather were waitresses, and Mary Mancini was cook. Oh! here ' s my broker, Eddie Henrickson. Annie Richard w -orked for him as his secretary and Myrtle Rittmann as switchboard operator. Remember that hospital I took you to the other day? Well, this young man. Nils Hollman, was ambulance driver, and Hannah MacHenry and Helen Martin were nurses in the children ' s department. And that new building downtown was designed by Leo Jacobs. Poor Eddie Jenks joined the Foreign Legion because of a broken heart. After a year, he found it v ' asn ' t broken but just cracked. However, it was too late to do any- thing about it then. Conrad Johnson was a well-known baseball player until he hurt his hand. It seems Chet Kirk, the taxi-driver, hadn ' t gotten over his erratic driving in High School days. Grandma, isn ' t this girl a poet? Yes, she is. Helene Knasin is one of the best known in the country. Now Millie Levy teaches diving at the Y. W. C. A. The other day Barbara Matteson, the dieti- tian, wrote me that James McDonnell and Louie Meehan had opened a combination hot dog and gasoline stand, and that Clarke Mays was purser on a ship. I saw Ruth McLeod, a year ago. She ' s Chief Librarian in the John Hay Library. This boy here, William Ochs, became a horse doctor. A few years after graduation the snow in winter was so bad that automobiles couldn ' t be used and horses came back. Velma Murdock, besides being an osteopath, was Women ' s State Tennis Champion. She and Flossie Potter, the nursing instructor, were great pals. My gracious, I ' d almost forgotten these two, hut nov. ' I remember. Dot Pickop and Agnes Rice ran a depart- ment store and this boy, Ernest Pike, became an insurance salesman. He always was a talker. Esther Rossi operated a fine hotel in Swit-erland where Robert Russau was interpreter. Goodness me. Sonny Rhodes led an adventurous life as a traveling salesman. Michael Ruggieri opened a new undertaking parlor for he says business is fine. Grandma, what a nice looking boy. You ' re quite right. Tommy Rusk and Mary Wall were on Broadway for many years. Their last play together was a revival of ' Honor Bright. ' Rose Storti, the publicity agent for Lois Tillinghast, said in her last article that this latest Za-u Pitts of the movies makes $3,000 a v eek. Marie Salvie became a celebrated pianist and Gert Schilhavy a fancy skater. Now the next boy, Robert Williams, is Editor-in-Chief of The News. Albert Uttley is star reporter and Dick Snow cartoonist. Remember that last model airplane you had? Well, that was made by Leslie Stuart who runs the business with Joe Stubbs. Now here ' s a famous woman. Marion Stewart is Ambassador to England. She told me she saw Lady Finklcsnoff, the former Genevieve Stone, riding to hounds. Over the radio last night we heard Edith Syverson, the cleverest woman announcer, and Walt Taylor, your favorite bed-time story teller. That reminds me, it ' s way past your bed-time. Run along now. But, grandma, who ' s the last girl? That ' s Lois White, the evangelist. She ' s made thousands of dollars. Now be a good boy and go straight to bed. A short time later the elderly woman in the chair was sleeping peacefully and dreaming of her youth and the class of February, 1935.

As owners of the S. S. Cranstonia, designed by Charles Stone and built by Fa:;i and Enstrom, Inc., through the co-opera- tion of the company president, Gardner Gould, we have arranged this cruise at cost. As the gang plank is lowered by Arsen Kalajian and Edmund Golini, the smiling face of Capt. Tom Roberts appears on the bridge. Our courteous steward, Henry Butler, and stewardess, Elva Buchart, greet the guests. The former Misses Dorothy Glover and Catherine Donahue, now socially prominent, appear with their well-to-do husbands. Next we see Bill Cumerford, renowned bug hunter; Norman Durfee, one of the country ' s leading commentators on current events; The Smith Bros., Carleton and Lloyd, who, with their pep tonic, have eclipsed the fame of the cough drop manufacturers; Alice Albrektson, popular actress now playing in the new show Secret of Success with Ray Thompson her leading man. This show, written by Ruth Post and produced by Murray Baker, has scenery painted by the versatile Dorothy Stewart. This hit opened last month in Conn ' s Olymphia on Broadway, and was praised by such well-known critics as Marion Briggs, Louise Cameron, and Helen Seraichekas. Amid shouts of admiration, Earle Crompton, modest Olympic star, arrives. Capt. Bob Poole, of the New York Yankees, joins the throng with two of his mainstays, Frank Parenti and Alfred D ' Amico. Behind them comes Domenic Filippo, World ' s Champion Wrestler, accompanied by his manager and trainer, Paul Hutchins, and Roy Johnson. Entering the salon, who should appear but the grinning Dick Snow with his wife, the former Miss Law, also James Cook and his charming wife. Li the saloon we see Bud Crowley, successful cattle-rancher, chatting with Merwin Bagnall, senior partner m The Greatest Show On Earth. Smiling and nodding as they pass, Helen Buff- inton, Emmajanis Closson, and Virginia Bughee make a striking appearance in the latest gowns created by Lakey, Schmid, and Gerlach, Inc. It seems good to see so many Cranstonites who have been successful m this diihcult world! There is Wilfred Broadbent, popular historian, in a heated argument with Earl Vick, a young author with revolutionary ideas. Not far away stand Virginia Carr, technician in one of the largest eastern hospitals, explaining her interesting work to Beryl Babington, an instructor in modernistic dancing; Jack Boylan, prosperous engineer; Col. Frank W. Budlong, cavalry officer; and Diana Knight, owner of a chain of beauty parlors. We hear familiar strains of a popular tune written by Ernest Drew and featured by the ship ' s orchestra leader, Ted Metcalf, with Gates Plumb at the piano and Franklin Spooner with his piccolo. Seen on the dance floor are Henry Garceau, Rhode Island Senator; Virgina Cheshire, his secretary; Tom Rubery, President of the Rhode Island Banking Association; Dot Pinchbeck, creator of the Advice to the Lovelorn column; and Clarence Griffin, tennis star and Virginia Middlcton, widow of a Scotch nobleman. Ginny is the possessor of a famed collection of photographs of Famous Cranstonites. Among these are Dot Desmond, a successful woman realtor; Captain Tctreault of the Toronto Maple Leafs; Walt Suesman, chess champion of the World; Elton Twit- chell, principal of Skowhegan Grammar School; Harris Kenyon. sound effect man for the XYZ Broadcasting Co., owned by Albert Deignan; Beulah Rathbun, eminent cultivator 84 }■ .■ CLASS of 1935 of wildgrapes; John Hartley, daredevil motorcycle rider: George Oskoian, salesman in K. W. Pierce ' s shoe store: Dr. Beniamin Brown Manchester, III and Gardiner Cong- don, world famous hahy specialists; June MacKnight, society editor of the New York Times. On deck various groups are chatting about the good old days. In a tar corner are Bill Nystrom, ship ' s wireless operator, and Henry Musk, radio expert, in a tangle of technical terms. Scannmg the deck, we see Dr. William Bardsley, podiatrist, talk- ing with Edward Morgan, shoe salesman. There are Louise Barry, jourrnalist; Kath- leen Lynch, novelist; Alice Crockett, news reporter: and Mildred McCormick, writer and illustrator of her own books. Seated in luxurious deck-chairs are Myrtle Bennett, head of the Latin department at Cranston High School : Mary Cardi and Iva Gorman, prominent women scientist: and Abigail Auhin, Dean of Girls at Mary Bateson ' s Seminary. The first meal on board is announced and v,-e will he underway in an hour. A delicious dinner, prepared by Hazel Adams and Anna Soscia, awaits the guests. Harold Worsley, our head waiter, ushers us to our tables. We sec Carleton Steere, with his hand cupped to his ear, in conversation with Jack Warnock. They are pro- fessional models for a before and after ad for Irv Henry ' s growth tonic. Seated in various parts of the room we see Eleanore Burdick and Mary Burke, columnists; Bertil Carlson and Charles Carr, African game-hunters: Dot Champlain, proprietress of a woman ' s athletic club: Madeline De Gregorio, expert on beauty culture: Edward Di Panni, ice-cream manufacturer: and Lowell Ennis, owner of a chain of candy stores. Dinner over, the guests appear again on deck. Roger Norton, a travelling sales- man, with a reputation of being able to sell snowballs m Hades, is giving an earful to Alfred Pullano, physical instructor, and Norman Redstone, who poses for men ' s clothing ads. Thomas Bannon, a small town politician, is discussing the situation v ith George Bainton, head of the department of Street Cleaning. Edward Barker, creator of Barker ' s Barkless Hot Dogs, is boosting his product in the presence of Bill Harrison and John Russillo, restaurant owners. Over the ship ' s amplifying system comes the agreeable voice of Forest Von Dauber, announcer, giving glimpses of various Cranstonites. We hear about the prosperous lumber company of Burrows and O ' Connell; also that Gertrude Weeden and Virginia Holden, are efficient librarians in one of New York ' s leading libraries: Kenneth Heinold, a butcher in Peoria: Helen Mason, Virginia Hall, and Jessie Lindsley, who do specialty numbers in Percy Kingsley ' s cabaret and Taylor and Henrickson, sports outfitters. Other Cranstonites on board are Dorothy Paquette, recently chosen Miss America at a bathing beauty contest held at Flossie Dahlstrom ' s Roman Pools, Miami, Florida; Ruth Lindegren, supervisor of physical education m Rhode Island; Betty Kershaw, Edith Soderlund, and Randolph Searle, well-known in musical circles as Stavinsky, Reuben, and Haemerstein. The shrill whistles of the tugs announce our departure, and as we retire to our state room, we see a group of latecomers including Barbara Bode, trapeze artist; Jessie Davidson and Mildred Erickson, Salvation Army workers; Fred Moury and Ben Riley who we have heard have been making crooked dough — pretzel manufacturers to you. We, the owners of this vessel, regret exceedingly that many of our classmates, because of unavoidable circumstances, were unable to be present at this reunion. It is our wish that they may join us at our next reunion. H(i ' .

Pres. yust Cls cJheij Cln A RECENT questionnaire distributed to a number of those illustrious people known as the June Class of 19.i5 produced some very enlightening and interesting facts heretofore unknown. We find that by far the greater pai of the class hoofs it to school with the exception of the sophisticated bus and trolley car patrons. However, twenty fortunates drive autos. The most remarkable thing is the amount of trans- portation acquired from known and unknown by a bewitching twitch of the thumb. The average number of rides to or from school during one ' s high school career is twenty-five for the boys, and one for the girls. However, every profession has its spe- cialists. Two boys claim two hundred rides; six, five hundred and three a thousand. One girl estimates five hundred and fifty and another two hundred, although several stated that they had received no rides and were proud of it. The study habits of the seniors vary among the girls from one-half to five hours daily. The boys labor anywhere from ten minutes to four hours on the next day ' s assignments. The most popular time with both sexes is two hours. It is said that people with large feet have great brain power and we have discovered some Einsteins and Curies. Two gentlemen wear elevens, and one girl an eight and one-half. The smallest boy ' s foot requires size four and one-half, and the Cinderella of the class trips about in sue two and one-half. The average girl wears five and one-half and the average fellow eight. It would be a great mistake to omit some mention of the cosmopolitanism as regards the habitat of the graduating class. We find that nineteen communities are represented with Edgewood leading with sixty-four delegates. Auburn places second with fifty-four, Arlington third with thirty-one and Eden Park fourth with twenty- three. Howard contributes two and Scituate three. We have one wanderer from the town of West Kingston. It can be easily seen from the above gleanings that a very important and mtesesting part of our student body is leaving us in June, but we know that it will scintillate just as brightly after departing as it has done during its high school carreer. - 87 - THE CRANSTONIAN ORGAXMIZAVriOMS 88 )- - CLASS of 1935 I Lew vi orlds to (bxplore TTS ' an ill wind that blows no good, quoted our ancestors, and since human nature never changes, the old adage still is appropriate. This generation, however, finds an ill wind and menace in the machine. But as machinery is rapidly replacing human labor, man is given more leisure to enjoy and that is where the good wind begins to blow. Our country has literally blossomed with an exploration of New Frontiers of pas- times and hobbies. Organizations and teams have sprung up for the enjoyment of this leisure time. Youth has organized to revive the old and to develop the new. What is new? Today the nev ' frontiers have come to youth. Youth bands together with fellow enthusiasts to find expression for their aspirations and hobbies. Since every person secretly cherishes the belief that he has dramatic ability, a tremendous impetus has furthered the Little Theatre movement. Old and young alike are joining such groups for enjoymnt and vital interest in the drama. The famous Theatre Guild was once a group of amateurs. Here in Rhode Island we have the Paravent Players, The Cranston Players, The Playhouse and many other groups which hope to see the living theatre considered a necessity of our deeper cultural life, an outlet for creative talents, and a conserver of great traditions. Others with camera in hand are spending their spare hours tramping through v ' oods or wandering up and down city streets to discover delicate natural scenes or impressive architectural studies. Thus they capture a bit of lasting beauty for themselves. Old fashions for new seems to be the slogan of the garden lovers of today. Garden Clubs throughout the country stimulate their members to show their skill and creative ability. Art classes and colonies are providing New Frontiers for amateur artists, who, otherwise, would feel inadequate without instruction, encouragement, and construe- tive criticism. Through exploration of their talent, they find an emotional release from the world of realism. Music, called food for the soul, affords an excellent opportunity for individual and group appreciation. The support of music is passing from the hands of the few to the public as a whole. The increase in the number of glee clubs, choirs, and community choruses, indicates that youth is discovering another field of expression. This year saw the gathering of hundreds of young people of high school age in Chicago to perform and enjoy music in its many aspects. A project recently completed was the bringing together of delegates from various colleges to form a Model League of Nations. There they studied, debated, and ex- pressed opinions on world affairs. May Youth see the goal and demand world peace I The interest m these and many other organizations proves that Youth realizes that successful adjustment to life requires something new in the way of leisure activities. The results are inspiring for the tendency is to develop healthier and happier minds, and to give an outlet for the creative instinct. This in turn promotes self-confidence and leadership, and stirs m them the spirit of adventure and the desire for new world to explore.

Thus has grown up the idea that it is more noble to work than to play, and that anyone who played was wasting time that could better be used for work or mental improvement. The effects of that idea are still felt, but we are in a period when we know definitely that soon every one will have nine or more hours a day not needed for work. Therefore we must no longer dis ' approve of leisure time, but we must warmly accept and reeogniie it. The boom period between 1920 and 1930 was the most spectacular period of our sporting history. There was more exaggeration and more space devoted to sport in the newspapers, but fewer persons actually playing the game. This big-time sport era languished along with big-time business after 1929. And undoubt- edly this was for the best, for today we have a more intelligent appreciation of the values of real sport. We no longer look upon sport as a financial benefit to the gifted few, but as a physical and moral benefit for every man, woman, and child. Perhaps one of the reasons for the increased participation in sports during the past few years, is the increased activity of women. Today they compete in almost every sport, where thirty years ago they engaged in tew games, and played those indifferently. Another cause of this growth is the decline of puritanism throughout the entire country. There is a different attitude toward games; a different attitude toward fun and amusement in general, fewer frock coats and more sun-tan costumes, fewer long faces and more gaiety. In keeping with the increase in playing games, tournaments are being promoted and financed by newspapers in various sections. These tournaments are open to everyone and have been successfully run, some drawing as many as two thousand entries. The problem of recreational use of leisure time is so great that it cannot be solved within a few months or even years, but a movement is progressing in communities throughout the country, to make adequate provisions for recreational use of leisure time, so that ultimately every youth in the United States will have a chance to learn how to play. It has been said by an eminent educator to learn to play is to learn how to live, and after all it IS just as important to learn how to live as to learn how to make a living. Truly this must be the golden era of New Frontiers for American sport, for games are no longer to be played by the few and watched by the many: but they are to be played by the many and enjoyed by all.

But two losses were charged against this gridiron team which only admitted defeat when the final whistle blew. Coaches Merritt and Stebbins deserve a greal deal of credit for building such a fine eleven which placed three men on the All-State team. Capt. Earle Crompton, John Driscoll, and Walter Taylor were the gridmen so honored. To Tom Rubery, stellar center, who was injured in mid season, is extended the sympathy of the Class of 19.i . Although another winning combination is broken up by graduation, we foresee, with com- petent replacements for every position, a banner season under the leadership of Co-Captains Johnson and Petrarca. inston Games Opf onent Cranston Games 21 South Kingston 6 39 Mount Saint Charles 20 Pawtucket 26 Rogers 7 East Providence 7 7 La Salle 46 Warwick 6 Central 7 Alumni Won 6 Lost 2 Tied Opponent 12 14 13 -•€{ 107 } - THE CRANSTONIAN HOCKEY Third Row: Mr. Merritt.

However, he molded together a fairly successful combination which promises to become one of the most eminent of Cranston quintets. The hoopsters were able to win eight of their eighteen games, and finished the season in a tie for fifth place in the league. Only lack of experi- ence and endurance kept the team from greater success, for the players never conceded a game and several times lost only after being worn down by superior quintets.

The first series took place at Warwick where two doubles and one singles match were played, Cranston, victorious in two matches, was represented by Velma Murdock, Virginia Post, Carolyn Cheney, and Lois White in the doubles, and Dorothy Kenaston in the singles. The return matches were held at Roger Williams Park, where we were victorious in only one, making our total score even with Warwick. As previously, a tournament was held among the girls of the advanced group. As a result of the finals, Velma Murdock, whose consistently fine playing won for her the title in 1932 and 19.t3, was for the third time crowned champion. She was awarded a sweater, shingle, and letter. Dorothy Kenaston, Virginia Post, and Lcora Hcnning, runners up, received a minor letter as did R. Lindegren who served as manager. The enthusiasm in the Tennis Club increases every year, as is shown by the growing list of members. In fact the size of the group has become a real problem for the coaches, with the result that m the future only those who pass try outs will be accepted as members. There will also be two assistant managers and a treasurer to facilitate the management of the organi::ation. (Pr. on res s ' Q During the past year more girls participated in athletics than at any other time in the history of our school. Accordingly, the number receiving awards greatly surpassed that of former years. Major awards were presented to a comparitively large group including the Tennis Champion, the senior members of the Swimming Team, and members of the Senior and championship Bas- ketball Teams. Minor awards were received by members of the Swimming, Basketball, and Championship Volley Teams. Although the Rifle Team engaged in only one match, much interest was aroused, resulting in an increase in membership. Dut to this development in interest, both a gold and a silver medal are given to the girls procuring the highest scores for this year. The Riding Club emerged with a victory in a tournament at Goddard Park and was the recipient of a silver lovmg cup. In order that all girls might indulge in some form of athletics, a Volley Ball Tournament was held in which every girl took part and the name of the winning team was placed on a per- manent banner in Miss Johnson ' s office. •sTif 121 }■ -.

We are very grateful for the co-operation of the Art Department in furnishing suitable draw- ings embodying the spirit of the 1935 theme, New Frontiers for Youth, and especially to Miss Sonne under whose excellent tutelage the Cranstonian artists produced their illustra- tions. To the following students we feel greatly in- debted for their contributions together with the effort expended in trying to create acceptable drawings: Percival Kingsley, Clara Movsessian,.

We also wish to thank the advertisers and patrons whose support has made this publication financially possible. ■ { 122 - CLASS of 1935 of in IS ' T N America as elsewhere youth is surging in restless discontent, disillusioned with the past and skeptical of the future. In what can youth place their faith — what idols can they huild from the debris of the past? We must seek our victories, build our future world and ourselves on an ideal of service to mankind. We must learn to find in service the same complete satis- faction that our elders once found in industrial pioneering, and if we find this we need never taste the bitter gall of failure which they know today nor the humiliation that comes from the knowl- edge that we are responsible for the despair and dire distress of others. Yet desire to serve is not enough; we must acquire the knowledge of how to serve. We must train ourselves in the wisdom of service. This can be made a more satisfying world. With all our resources, in a world where beauty is possible, we are surrounded by ugliness; where peace is possible, we have noise and confusion; where music is possible, we have discord; where knowledge is possible, we have ignorance and superstition. Abundant work can be done to make life richer and fuller. Here is a task for youth to undertake with its mind as well as its heart. Thus, New Frontiers Await Youth. ■■••€{ 123 }se- THE CRANSTONIAN [Pa trons Ida E. Benson George E. Marcroft Mrs. Herbert Holden Mr. Herbert Holden Miss Dorothy Holden, R. N. Miss Margaret I.
