IJeckeit grarliiated from Massachusetls School of Arl with a degree of Bachelor of Science in Kducation. For three years she has taught mechanical and free hand drawing in Dedham High. She has traveled extensiveh through Ital), Cermany, Switzerland, Austrian Ty- rols, France, England, and Holland— in short, through Europe. It must he nice to sj)end the summer Abroad, or on the Aorih Shore, as Miss Beckert does. Many will rememher Miss Beckert’s design for the Seidor Flay pi ' ogram cover. She is vlee|)ly in- terest( ' d in Commeiaial Designing. Wanted: A hutigalow in Times Square. Mr. Howard Bottomley, ID s favorite, has l)cen in D. H. S. for eight husy years, leaching history, civics, economics, e! ceIcKi. He graduated from Boston Lnivorsily w’ilh A. B. and A. M. degrees. Me has traveled through Ureal Britain and France with good old Lm le Sam, and then fiami coast to coast with a lord. During the summer one might lind “ ' roj)pci” 9 I JJI DEDHAM D. S at Hraves Field or Femvay Park, as l)aseball is liis favorite sport. After tlie dismissal hell he is hus getting reaily for more school, Init manages to find time for bridge, his hobby. He is onr most ambitions instructor. He aims to attain Mr. Faton ' s manly figure. Mr. Keegan ' s sartorial jierfection, Mr. Pearson’s wave. Mr. Cowan ' s versatility, Ml ' . Peterson ' s even disjiosition, and Mr. Heaphy’s wealth. Miss Margaret Rogers Boynton refuses to tell how long she has lu ' cn in Dedham High. She graduated from Mt. Holyoke (iollege with an A. B. degree and at jnesent is stnd)ing for an A. M. degree from Boston I niversitv. All her travel experiences have lieen in a Chevrolet on New Fngland roads. During the summer her head- quarters are at her home in Pepperell. She says she is not athletic, but she did go to gvin classes all the winter. Her ambition is as vague as relativity is to most of ns. The ideal faculty member should have Miss Bovnton’s enthusiasm. Miss ffazel Chick. B. S., is a graduate of Boston University and for tlu | ast two v(“ars has been teaching junior hnsim ' ss training in our school. During the summer she is a camp counsellor. Since that is the case, it seems na- tural that swimming and boating are her favorite S|)orts. Music is her hobby and an im|)ortant activitv outside of school, along with bridge and bowling. Miss Lu( V 1. (ilough, to whom this ' tear Book is dedicated, is a graduate of (iolby (College with an A.B. degree. For eight yoars she has been a member of the Dedham High faculty. She is now working for an A. M. degree at Boston Finiversitv. Outside of school her chief interest is gardeiung. During the summer Miss (dough resides in Kennebunkport. Maine. The ideal faculty member should have Miss Clough ' s kindness of dis| osition. Miss Madeline (ilough, A. B., is a graduate of (iolby College, and will complete her fourth year as a memlier of tin Dedham High faculty this year. She has also attended Kadcliffe, Bates, and the University of Vermont. Her activities outside of school vary. This year she is taking courses at Boston Universitv. . ' she tells us frankly that she is not amldtious. Mr. Hai ' old E. Cowan, the man with the versatility that Mr. Bottomley hopes to attain, has taught commercial subjects here for ten years. He is a graduate of .New ' t ork Lhiiversitv. His traveling experiences have been lather dull, as he changed tires most of the tinu“. Do you know where Mr. Cowan lives? His afternoons are spent cleaning up the yard and his ambition is to get it clean. Tiie head of the Commercial Department, a splendid class advisor, and always looking lor more to do — Mr. (iowan. The ideal faculty member shoidd have Mr. (.ovvan’s wit. Miss Fox came to us this year to teach Freshman English. She has an A.B. and an y .M. from Emmamud (College. We appreciate her work on projierties lor th( (dass Day jday. Miss Katherine Cahagan teaches Erench and Eat in. She is a graduate of Middle- biiry (College with an A. IT degree. Although she has been here but a short time, she has already shown her interest in onr school by her invaluable assistance on costumes for the senior and C.lass Day plays. Tin ee vears ago Miss Estlier (ioodale ariived with an A.B. from Mt. Holyoke and 10 1931 ytAc Dcur A.M. Iroin Raclcliffe. Slie lias also atteiuied Harvard (dadiialc School of Kducalioii and the University of Colorado. d vvo snnnners have been spent tonring Kngland and Scotland. I For the henehl of those who do not reineniher, Miss Goodale is the one wiio studied at Oxford while Abroad. I In Colorado, besides studying, she enjoyed mountain ( limbing and did a good deal of sight seeing. Correeting freshman themes, going to the theatre, honse- kee|(ing, reading, driving, ami taking A]j|)alaehian Clnh hikes are her activities ontsid(‘ ol school. Too hnsy she is to have time for an) ambition, unless it he to start all the freshmen in Dedham ffigh School on the royal roarl to success and wisdom. Miss Doris Mar (irant. the laughing lady, is a graduate of tne L niversit of Maine, with a degrei ' of Bachelor of Education, and has attended Harvaid Summer School. “Round man) western islands ha e I been, and many goodl) states and kingdoms seen. ’ Her summers are spent on the rocky coast of Maine. Indoors her fa orite oc( u- pation is talking; out-of-doors, when enrreney is elastic, she enjoys horseback riding. Her ambition is so loftv that she is keeping it a secret. Phe ideal faculty memher would conduct her classes w ith the im and animation that Miss Grant displays. Mr. Joseph (ireen. Jr., the freshman coach and teacher of algebra and commercial .uithmetic. is a graduate of Boston Colh ' ge with an A. R. and A. M. d( ' grees. He has attended Boston College Graduate School. He’s another bashful one who doesn’t like to tell us what he does outside of school. Miss Marion S. Harding comes from Ossipee, iNew Hampshire. This is her third year in Dedham High as teacher of liiology and phvsiology. After graduating from ' ] lifts College with a B.S. degree she has attended Boston Universit) and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her hobby is a somewhat different one — antique furniture. Maybe that explains her interest in such artic les as are lound in the liiidogy lab. In the future she exjiects another degree. Her outside activities are too numerous to specify. Mr. John Fiancis Hea|rhy. Ph. B., is a graduate of Boston (’.ollege ami has at- tended Harvard Summer School of Physical Education. In Dedham High where he has been for three )ears, he teaches algebra, geometry, and physical education. During jiart of the summer he is Supervisor of Playgrounds in Dedham. The rest of the season is spent along the North Shore. Outside of the i lassroom he is Director of Physical Education in the Dedham Schools and coach of all s])orts. He aims to develop “bigger and lietter” athletic teams in Dedham High School. His favorite sports are footliall and baseball. He has traveled “north, south, east, aiul west as far as the Mississijipi. ” In the future he expects to liank San Foi with Mr. Boltomley. Miss Harriette Hunting came to Deflhani High in 192!! to teach cookery and nn- 1 l it ion. She is a graduate of Eramingham w ith a B.S. degreix d he odors from her room are a great help in counteracting those from Mr. Peterson’s lab. Mr. Daniel ,|. Keegan is a graduate of .Salem Normal. He also has attended Har- vard. Boston Lniversity, and Simmons Summer School. In Di ' dhani High, w lit ' ii ' he has heim for sevam long years, he ti ' aches hnsiness law. hookkee|)ing. ollice nianage- numt. and salesmanship. He is a thorough hnsiness man. as his summers are spent in husim ' ss and outside 11 I J3I - DEDHAM D. S. of srliool lie has business interests, (lolf is his faxorite sport, and innsic his liohl) . He has traveled through evx England, the (freat Lakes region, and Canada. , s to ids ainhilion or fntnie c.xpertations— who knows? .Miss Dorothy I’. Kendall, who has taught English in Dedham High School for three years, is a graduate from Mt. Holxoke College with an .l). degree. SIk ' iias also attended Breail Loal School of English and the L nixersitv of Colorado, ami holds a Master ' s degree from Middlelniry College. Iraxel and study ha e occupied the last seven summers, hnt this summer she ri ' - tnrns to private life at her legal residenci ' ! She has enjo ed a winter in the st Indies, one in California, a summer in Enroiie. and anotiier summer in England, , ' he is fond of hiking and mountain ( limhing and enjoys the theatre. Outside of school Miss Kendall is kejit luisy correcting and grading stacks of papers. Her amhition is to have three [mpils who are literary geidnses; one a j)oet. one a noxelist. and one an essayist. In the face of prohahle disappointment, howexer. she is resigned to continue trying to incidcate a hit of literarx appreciation and a hit of |)oxver ol e |)ression into ordinary .Ameiican citizens. Well. xv( ' xx ish lun luck! .Miss Elizabeth M. Know lton. xx horn xvi ' all knoxv as the seidor j)lav coacii. teaches English. She is a graduate of Welleslex College, xvith an A.!!, degree, and has at- tended the Bread Loaf .School ol English and Dramatics. We notice that, xvith her, expression seems to count a lot. During the summer sht ' traxels extensivelx either Abroad or at honu ' . Horse- back riding is her faxorite sport and identifying hiids is her hobby. .Miss Eanra J. Mclntire has taught aiithmetic bn txxo vears in Dedham High. She is a graduate of Simmons College xxith a B.S. degree. Hei ' summers are spent in ew Hampshire and she has traxeled tiirongh Canada and the Miildle West. Outside of school she has all she can do to keep her car filled xvith gas. Some da she expects actually to teach percentage. Batch working (pdits is her hold)), and she enjoys swimming and traxeling. Miss Isabel Livingston Midi has tangiit history, both Ammican and Enrojiean. in Dedham High for twelve years. She is a graduate ol .Mt. Holyoke xvith a B..A. degree and of Boston E niversitx xvith an M..A. degree. Her activities outside of school defx enumeration. How are we to know her am- bition or future expectation when she wonders herself! d’lie ideal faculty member should have Miss Muir’s thorough knowledge of her subject. .Miss Elorence E. Murdock, the little English teacher, does nothing out ol the or- dinary outside of school, or so she says. After graduating from BadclilTe with an A.B. degree she attended Ivoston I niversit) and Harvard Summer School. Her ambition is to acipiire a Master ' s degree some dax. She spends her summers at Shore Acres. Scitnate. where she enjoys reading and walking, her favorite recreations. Mr. BanI Erank IVarson is a graduate of Dartmouth College xvith an A.B. degree. He teaches history and has been in Dedham High for three xears. Not much information is available in regard to his hobbies, ambitions, and wan- derings. He ' s still bashful, but give him time, give him time. .Mr. Edwin T. I’eterson. B..S.. graduated from Bates College and then studied at Boston Ihiiversity and the University of Ciiuinnati. In June he will have completed his seventh year in Dedham High as teacher of chemisti) and physics. 12 1931 ycAc c€ci “All athletic sj)oits are liolh refreshiii ' i and stiimilatin r to me. 1 enjoy watchiiifj; athletic games or participating in them.” We shall always rememl)er Mr. Peter.son for his interest and fine work in onr Athletic Association. His aml ition is to complete work for an Ed. M. degree. Miss Alice A. Richards has taught Modern Enro])ean History here for the past three years. She graduated from W heaton College with a Rachelor of Arts degree and has attended the University of Vermont Summer School. Jn the summer of IP. ' IO she tra eled through Europe. Traxeling and attending the theatre are her holihies. She enjoys tennis, walking, and swimming, and spends the summer in Mansfield, Massachusetts. The ideal facult) memher should ha c Miss Richard’s thoroughness of treatment. Mr. Joseph H. Ryan, a new comer this year hut one who is ahead) widel) known and liked, teaches h,nglish. He is a graduate of Daitmouth College with .111 A. B. flegree and has attended Harvard Summer School. Evidently he believes in seeing America first. We learn he has traveled exten- sivel) through Eranklin Park and spends his summers in W inchester. Massachusetts. His lavorite pastimes are reading and liridge, and we ' ve heard quite a hit about his liowling. The ideal faculty memher should have Joe Rvan’s hair. Vliss Mary E. .Sullivan, who has taught in Dedham High for twenty-one years and is |)roiid of the fact, is herself a graduate of Dedham High School. She also atteiuled the Boston School of Domestic Science and Simmons College. Need it he mentioned that she teaches sewing? Miss Dorothy M. Swan, our most atnletic teacher (exccjit. of course. Miss Collin I, has been with us for one year. She graduated from Simmons with a B. S. and teaches commercial geography and typewriting. Aliroad she has traveled through England, Erance, Italy, and Switzerland. Her tavorite s|)orts are mountain ski-running, golf, tennis, sailing, and a further interest, music. During the summer she is at Belgrade Lakes, Maine. Miss Mary Sweeney, who has lieen in Dedham High a numher of )ears. too many to mention, received her B. S. from Simmons College. She has traveled hither and yon — west to Chicago, south to Bermuda, INorth to (ianada, east — ? W here her summers are spent always depends on the state of the Excheijuer. Out-of- doors her tavorite |)astime is gardening, indoors it’s bridge. At present, during her spare moments, she is trying to master auction bridge. W hen she owns four non- puncture-ahle “shoes” for the Lord her amldtion will lie realized. Most of the inlormation available for Miss Joan Toldn appears unheliev able to the coin|)iler. However, it is. no doulit. here |U ' esented to a creflulous public. After graduating from .Sargent, for more than ten years she has taught at D.H.S. that exhausting subject, jiliysical education, and for relaxation has traveled the world over. W here she now spends her summers is kept secret, as is also her fav orite hohhv, hut the fact is revealed to us that outside of school Ikm chief activitv is playing marhles. She has also attended Harvard Summer School. She has no amhition, hut, after all, whv should she. since she has the distinction of being the Old) person in the counti ) vviio [lossesses the degree of A.B.(kl).f,.l‘ .. C.O.D.

Miss Helen oodside. geneial science teacher, graduated from Simmons (College with a B. S. (h ' gree. She has traveled through (ianada and spimds her summers either in Maine, New Hampshire, or ( ' anada. Do on like to driv e, hike, or ride horsehack Miss W Oodside does, and she enjoys company. She is an active memher ol the Boston Simmons (duh. Some time she hopes to realize her ambition to tiavel around the world. Best wishes for an enjovahle trip. Miss I)oroth P.

Two white wings of silvery spray at its bow, carried forward like an arrow ' the glistening mahogany hull. Almost invisible, before the ])row ' , bobbed a lurking sliver of wood. As if tbe boat bad struck a deadly mine, the frail wood splintered, the propeller raced as it was lifted clear of the water. In a matter of seconds everything had disajjpeared beneath the surface. Sir Henry Seagrave, in- ternationall} ' known both as the dare devil automol)ile driver, and the itivincible boat racer of Britain, had been killed in bis Miss England, then the fastest craft afloat, which struck a drifting log. Why is it that every year thousands of peo])le disregard this peril, and worse fates? Is. it to rescue a human life with the |)iecious antitoxin, to rush food to a famine stricken region? No, merely to l)reak a record! Perhaps it is this old world itself, with its matter-of-fact habit of swinging off into space at a terrific rate, that is responsible for Speed, Sjieexl, the autocrat of the 20th century, who demands from his subjects one thing — that they cli|) the wings of Father Time. Old records must be lieaten, distances must be shortened, and whether this is accomplished by swift footed thoroughbreds, mecbanically perfect motor boats, l)ctter designed automobiles, or higher powered aeroplanes, the speed king is never satisfied. There is always another goal farther on. 52 1931 TEAR ECCE SoiiK ' hovv one never associates tlie old Southern Colonel with speed, and yet in advertisements In the early Virginian papers you will find the name of Bulle Rock, a race horse imported into Virginia in 1730, the first thoroughbred to he brought to this country. W helher this English-Arahian horse was hay or chestnut, and whether his disjjosition was fiery or gentle the old papers do not say, hut he and his class were the toast of many a dinner. “Mo’ sensitive than a woman, mo’ cou’ageous than a man — the tho’oughhred, suh, — God and Vi’ginia!’’ The thoroughbred and the old Southern Colonel were aristocrats, lioth of them, and the Charleston races were as much an institution as the Inaugural Ball at Wash- ington. But the Virginia gentlemen were not the only ones to own horses of fine quality. Soon Main land began to race, and it was not a great while before the gentle- men of Annapolis were betting and disputing with the gentlemen of Virginia. Tlie first racing of the orth was on Long Island, Imt it was many years before it could equal that of the southern states. In the loth and 19th centuries, Virginia and the Carolinas led the country hi horse lireeding. Today Kentucky has more thoroughbreds than are in all of the other states of the Union. The Kentucky Derby is the classic racing event of the year. Last year fiftv thousand people apjilauded Gallant Fox with Earl Sande, America’s greatest jockey, up, as they opened a two length lead on the home stretch to win. The Earl of Derby lame four thousand miles to see this race, and the crowds were from everywhere. The history of harness racing in America is practical!) contemporaneous with that of the Republic. At first the running or racing gait was the only one considered, hut the importation of an English stallion named Messenger, brought over to Phila- delphia in 17P)8, marked the beginning of a new era. Although descended from running horses, he showed a distinct inclination to trot. So “Imported Messenger,” as he was known, was the patriarch of nearly all the great harness racers of today. His death in loOO was looked upon as a national calamity, so that he was given full military honors. It is unfortunate that there remains no portrait or drawing of this founder of so notable a family. At the time of Messenger’s death the trotting record for the mile was three minutes. The saddle was used for this gait until better roads brought in the two wheeled sulk . A scientific achievement, and not a horse, ushered in the next great cut in the record. This was the use of hall hearings with pneumatic tires. The first public race utilizing this device was a comical one. A horse known to lie slow walked away from a field of the country’s fastest trotters. After I .S years of hrecfling and training the mark was set by the wonderful geld- ing Lilian who made the world’s trotting record of 1 :-5o at Lexington. I hlan cli|)j)ed four seconds from this mark with a running mate, hut never in a real trotting race has this record been eq ualled. It is a difficult thing to convince horse lo ers that there is any kind of race which can compare with horse racing. But aside from the sporting element, a sjieqding car is equally thrilling, and the real ohji ' ct of all races, sjieed, is the same, even though it is accomplished by different means. This yvord “speed”, yvhen used in connection yvith aulomohiles, somi ' times has a 53 1931 — DEDHAM D. S. — - rather (loul)tful ineaiiing, l ecaiise of the many aeeidents whieli have liappeiied wlien some dri er has been killed or caused serious injury. Feu people realize that the majority of the entries in all the national racing erents have been Iniilt by well-knoun automobile manufacturers in order to test out new ideas as to design and safety. These devices undergo a long, gruelling test on the track liefore being placed Irefore the public. From the start there have been regular racing meets every year. Formerly the annual races for the Vanderbilt Cui) in New V ork and the (band Prize of the Auto- mobile Clubs, of .SOO and fOO miles resp( ' ctivel v, were the most important events of the season. Today, although there are many large tracks, the biggest are at Indianapolis and at Daytona Beach in Florida. The biggest automobile racing event of the year is now held at Indianapolis on Memorial Day. This race was the lust classic to be run according to 1930 regula- tions, under which much has been changed. The cars are now closer replicas of the automobiles in evcr day use. Instc;;,d of the snarling whine of the sujjercharger, the racer now has a dcei)-throated note, more like that of the average stock model. In- stead of the small eight cylinder engines, the speedsters of the track are now being built with more than 300 cubic inch piston displacement. There must be two brake systems, and other drastic revisions result from the new rules. This Memorial Day race at Indiana|)oIis is 500 miles long. Billy Arnold of Chicago, only twenty years old, won it last year. He made the 200 laps in 4:5o, aver- aging o er 100 m. |). h. Over two years ago the late Major II. 0. D. Seagrave, Eng- lish racing dri er, established a world’s automobile sj)eed record when he drove his low slung Golden Arrow over the beach course at an average speed of more than a citv block a second. Ibis inconceivable speed decisively shattered the mark set by flay Keech. And now ! Four miles per minute! For the first time in history an automobile recently shot down the smooth sands at this staggering rate, after a five and one-half mile running start. I he car was Malcolm Campbell’s arrow-shaped Bluebiifl II, and the oHicial time of the average of two successive runs indicated a shade over 215 m.ji.h. d he British sjieed king, famed as a world war aviator and later as a racing auto driver, exceeded by 11 miles the record dash made by his countryman Seagrave. Just how Campliell’s aluminum-sheathed car with its grotesque tail fin was able to smasb a mark of two years standing must be due to terrific power, a sujicrcharged motor, and stream-lining of the most radical t ])e, plus, of course, the British ace ' s reckless daring comliined with cool courage. Sujierchargers like those used on aero- jdanes |)umped air and fuel into the cylinders of the racing engine. Its horse power of 1400 surpassed b half that of the Golden Arrow. A little slower, Init cpiite worthy of mention, was Paul Ileylandt, who jiut his new Goinet Car through its ]iaces at the Teni|)elhof field in Germany, causing householders within a two-mile radius to fall off their porch rails in amazement. Handicapped by a lack of flanked curves on the flying field course, the driver was obliged to hold his car down to a mere 90 m.ii.h. but the unearthly noise and tumult of its 15-pound recoil motor even at this speed utterly terrified at least a hundred of the gawking peasants. In the moonlight the recoil car, red and yellow with a torch tail, howled around 54 1 31 ytAc the field for eiglil minutes. It looked like a comet, stieamiiig lire from its exhaust, and it sounded like a comhination of a hurricane and an earthcjuake. d’his roaring motor, hy the nay, weighs less than an ordinary typewriter, and looks like a short cannon. But the aeroplane is the last word in sjieed. Soon we inav exjieiience this: from i ew ork to San k’rancisco in 30 minutes; from San Francisco to Hongkong, China, in an hour and a half; around the world in five hours! Such are the incredihle aero- plane speeds predicted for a dozen years hence liy Fritz on ffjiel, famous German exjierimenter and the hrst man in the world to ride in a rocket jilane. Man made meteors, capable of 500 mile-an-hour speeds, will he common in 1012, he has the as- surance to predict. Screaming through the thin air 35,000 feet above the earth, at a velocity of ele en miles jier minute, right now such a plane, v hich may soon cross from Berlin to l ew ' f ork in less than six hours, is lieing secretl) built liy the famous junkers Company. If this ship succeeds in making its transatlantic flight, it will mean that man’s efforts to annihiliate space have resulted in “making the sun stand still.” f lying at eleven miles a minute in a westerly direction in the latitude of Berlin and ew York, this giant aerial toijiedo could keep the sun stationary over its head! Aerial travel at breath-taking speeds is already an actuality. Captain Frank M. llav ks has flown his Mystery monoplane from coast to coast at more than three miles a minute. In racing jjlanes, four miles a minute is slow. The British pilot. Captain A. fl. Orlehar, has rocketed hy the Isle of Wight on his Supermarine Seajilane at more than six miles a minute. These are engine-driven j)lanes. The success of rocket-pro- pelled aircraft, such as foreseen Iiy von Opel and others, would open up an entirely new realm of possibilities. Even conservative aeronautical engineers admit that the era of speed has just begun. Where will it end, if at all . ' ' Or shall we all soon he human bullets, zipping through space? Frederick Sivan Honor Essay AN ADVENTUBE I’irate floats skimming over the waters in pursuit of a fleeing ship — Indians screaming their war-cry as they approach a defenseless v illage- masked bandits hold- ing up a mail train -perhaps these are a few of the vivid pictures that arise ' in our minds at the word adventure ; prohalily many think of less exciting things, a closely fought football game, a canoe trip through rapids, things possible in the everyday lives of all of us. But how many realize that these same everyday lives may he in themstdves adventures? W hy, life itself is the most tremendous adventure of all, and vet only hy the fullest lecognition of this fact, can we appreciate completely what it holds for us. fo lealize the adventurous aspects of life we need not have made great intellect- ual coiupiests or aesthetic triumphs, j ' he secret lies in making ourselves the kind of peo|)le to whom adventure will come. If we sit hack, discontented, in onr chairs, com[daining hecansf nothing ever ha|)pens to us, then we may he very sure that nolh- 55 1 31 — DEDHAM D. S. = ing ever will. Many j)eople miss half the fun of living simply because they look o er the fence to the other fellows )ard ami fail to recognize the many beauties in their own. We must put ourselves in front of Adventure. .A boat trip to Hermuda is not in itself particularlv unusual, and it may even he monotonous and tiresome to one who holds himself aloof and hesitates t(j join iti with his fellow passengers. On the other haiul, it may he very adventurous, just by look- ing at it in the right way. It is (piite possible to make many new contacts. Even though it is hut a short time that we associate with our new friends, we can learn to know them extremel) well, for on hoard ship it is easy to l)e friendly and form ac(]uaintances more quickly than at home. If we enter with the right sj)irit into the passenger activities, we can have a glorious time. Ship musicales and stunt nights are always a great deal of fun for everyone, hut most of all for those who take part themselves. Ipon reaching the island, there are many opportunities for continued association with our friends, if we will oidy go half-way with them in making plans for dancing, beach parties, and sight-seeing trips. We all know the other type of tra eler, who is mentally too lazv or self satished to recognize the interest in new ' scenes and customs, for whom there can he little enjoyment beyond, perhaps, the mere gratification in having done what is generally considered “the thing.” But if we are awake to the revelations of other lives, to the fun of adapting ourselves to un- familiar situations, then surely we have all the advantage oxer the unoliserving person who returns with no impression more intelligent than tlu general superiority of his own country ' s train sei x ice. food, and hotels. d here is no limit to the variety of possible sources of adventure. Belonging to a nation-wide organization such as the Scouts is full of the most adventurous o]j])or- tunities. Some people, and these are likely to he just the kind who think life is dull, can see no xalue whatexer in such a memliership. But the training that a Scout gets in xvorking for the different ranks gives him many things that he xvould not otherxvise learn; he a|)preciates Aature and understands her xvays far more than the ordinary citizen. Lessons such as first-aid and practical camping may be of great use to him later iu life, as xvell as a pleasure at the time. The actual scout work is only a part of the good derivdd from belonging to such an organization. 1£ a scout goes to a camp or a convention, he meets members from other places, some near, some far. He learns of tludr activities and achievements, not only in scouting, hut in many other fields. He gets ideas from them, learns to appreciate a stranger ' s viexv point and to adapt himself to the customs and modes of thought of others. He becomes broad minded and tolerant as a result of these contacts, and this axvareness of a widening horizon is one of the most satisfying ex|)eriences that a person can gain from life. In school there is a great opportunity lor adventure, xvhich many fail to realize. I do not refer, at this jioint, to studies, but rather to the extra-curricula activitiesi in which all may particiiiate, but from xxhich so many keep apart. Watching a gam� ' of football or liaseball, xve are axvare. to some extent, of the sportsmanship evidenced there, but unless xv� ' get into the game ourselves, xve do not actually beneht from the exercise, the mental training, or the stimulation that comes from mutual effort. It is the same way in class activities. Unless we take part ourselves, xve cannot realize the complexities of even the simplest seeming enterprise, such as arranging for a prom, or publishing a school paper. The result is not merel) a tendency toxvard ignorant criti- 56 1931 TEAR EEC l cisin of others and utter horedoin witli ourselves, Init eoinplete forfeiture of opportu- nities to gain praetieal experience, eonfidenee in one’s jtowers to undertake a new task, readiness to shoulder responsihilit - all of which are of inealeulahle alue if we would make a success in whatever [jath our mature li es ma follow. It is not pri- marily for the futuie advantage, however, that aeti e partieij)ation in the numerous school activities is urged, hut for the present enjoyment, tiie fnn of working together with classmates on some project, the triumph that comes in overcoming dilliculties. the gratification of feeling that one’s hard work has been crowned with success — in short, the Aflventure of it. One of the most adventurous aspects of life is amhition, something that all of us have, of a sort, hut how many possess the kind that is leally worth achieving. In setting a goal for ourselves, we shouhl not assume a limited ahililv to accomplish our end. hut should have a high ideal, unattainalvle though it mav he. the veiy approach to which is thrilling. As Emerson said. “II we shoot at the snn. we mav hit a star.” During our vouth. we have many amhitions. Of course the pa. sing vears will witness Iretpient transfoi inations of onr goals, hnt each successive amhition ( asts it glamour over the stage of life that it occuides. d lie final goal, iletermined upon in maturitv. gives a piquant zest to life from then on and assures the satisfaction of some degree (vf accomplishment that the purposeless drifter never knows. Living is stale and monotonous without a |iurpose. Columhus had the amhition to prove to his countrymen that the world was lound, that a road to the Indies lay over the Western sea, and he exerted every (dfort to make his dream come true. Ihink (d the emptiness, the vacuity of his life, had he relimpiished the dieam because of the many olvstacles which he encountered. Perhaps it is the scientist who experiences the mcjst gratification from his life ' s work. To see civilization take another step in the march of progress, to realize that, through the genius of his brain, he is helping all humanity, must give the deepest joy of which his nature is capable. And he is not the only one who keenly enjoys his work. Think of the doctor. He, too, must feel a great satisfaction in seeing a patient, under his deft hands, turn from death and, with renewed strength, take up life’s thread once more. A carpenter experiences the same satisfaction when he views a beautiful house built by his hands from what would seem to us a mere chaos of boards, bricks, and plaster. In the same way, whatever our niche in life, be it explorer or clerk, prima donna or housewife, ambition to achieve some end is something none of us can afford to neglect, if we would get the most from our Big Adventure. Contact with other people is one of the most important phases of life because it is partly through others that we learn about ourselves. At schoool we have the oppor- tunity to become acquainted with people of many different abilities, talents, and tem- peraments. Individualities are developing, but there are many common traits and in- terests which facilitate our mutual understanding. Many more new and interesting types will be met after we finish school, and through this mingling with othersf we make constant discoveries in the heart of man. With knowledge comes the apprecia- tion so necessary if we would have and hobl friends. And what would life be with- out f)ur friends — and what may it not be with them? llaven ' l we all exjvcrienced the thrill that comes in unraveling the complexities of another’s mind, in the discovery of some depth or beauty never before known, in the smhlen Hash of an unguessed power? 57 1931 DEDHAM D. S liclher your nature leads you to devote yourself to a small rircle of close inti- mates. or whether )ou choose to range far aheld, you will hnd in vour group of tricnds one of your chief sources of surprise and delight in life. The gaining of knowledge is perhaps the most satisfying of all life ' s adventures. Childhood is tilled with wonder and delight at the unfolding world. The mere real- ization of the power to walk will send a two-year old into squeals of ecstasy. He claps his hands at a Inli]) hed. he is heside himself with joy at making the acquaint- ance of a l iqjpy. Of course, we restrain ourselves as we grow older. Perhaps, in high school, we even assume an air of siqrercilious indifference to the wealth of knowledge lying all about us. Hut in onr hearts we keep alive that same zest in the discovery of new facts, new experiences, new abilities. And the time should come when we again are Irankly interested and eager to reduce by as much as we can our stupendous ignorance and add to our little stores all that is possible of the inexhaust- ible riches of knowledge. We never can know too much of the lives of our fellow men now and throughout the ages, their aspirations, their noble deeds, their triumphs, and theii ' laihires. W e can never cease our elToits to determine the boundaries of the 1 inverse, our search lor the ultimate structure of matter, our attempts to pass the limits of the earth s atmosplune. We neerl not fear to exhaust any held of activity, riic last adventure in discovery will never come. Hut knowledge is not conhned to the intellectual held alone; there are tliscoveries also to he made in the aesthetic. Kvery experience of a beautiful symphony, a perfect voice, an inspired violin, records a new adventure on the tablets of our lives. A great book read for the first time makes us one with the watcher of the skies and the iliscovcrer of the Pacific, as Keats has said. To encounter our own thoughts ex- pressed in words of gold makes us the companion of great minds. The loveliness of the world, the souls of men, the play of form and light and color depicted on canvas give us to see with the eyes of the artist. The purity of the Greek Parthenon, the as- piration of the Cathedral of Hheims, the stiqiendous simjilicity of the Empire Sta ' te Huilding in New York allow us to share the creative dreams of the arcfiitecL W e never can possess too much of the beauty that genius has bequeathed to us; many life- times would not suffice to acquire it all. Adventure — of course it will never mean just the same thing to any two of us; and yet. by seeing it even for a short time through another’s eyes, although we do not adojit his views, and although we may even disagree, nevertheless we cannot fail to take away some stimulating thought which we will ponder and which will finally re- sult in a deeper conception, just a little more nearly sufficing the heart’s great need for this indeterminable thing— Adventure.
