CLASS POEM U THE FIRST VOYAGE What ho! A sail! Where away? Dead ahead. ,Tis the ship Life in for another crew. She is a hard ship with a cruel masterg Those who have trodden her decks, And have weathered the storms and trials, Have many sad tales to spin, They too, not long ago, left their training ships, As you are leaving yours, A And as you take your places with the crew, They will tell you an old, familiar story: The fight is hard and progress slow, And only those who strive will ever reach their goal. But when the ship has come to port And all the blustering storms are over, Don't forget what the old hands did for you And in your turn give a lift to the next new crew. -Eugene J.

At Versailles in 1919, exhausted after struggling four years against three great powers, these Germans had to accept and sign a humiliating treaty. Conquered Germany felt very keenly the blow to her pride because in the years before the defeat of 1918, the German people had been taught that they, the Teutons, excelled in every respect all other peoples. It was this racial pride that led to the militarism of the German nation in the latter part of the nineteenth and the beginning of our century. The common man accepted his term of military service in the Kaiser's army because of his intense belief in the superiority of his race. Thus from racial pride developed militarism and from militarism came war. Germany was not, of course, the only military power in Europe. Every great nation maintained huge standing armies, supported still greater bodies of trained reserves, and vied for naval supremacy, but of all these activities Ger- many is the supreme example. In looking over the utterances of prominent Germans in the years before the war, it appears that the Germans had an eager- ness for war as a means of national improvement that finally led to conflict. In Germany and the Next War, written shortly before 1914, a retired German army officer presented his ideas about militarism, stating that war should not be avoided but should be used for the expansion of the Teutons, Uthe aristocracy of humanity. Much more prominent was Heinrich von Treitschke, a professor at Berlin University, with his lectures on the state, which he conceived as supreme and responsible to no one. Acts that an individual performed for his country were not governed by the laws that bound an individual acting for himself. A foreshadowing of the violation of the neutrality of Belgium may perhaps be seen in von Treitschkels contention that a state has no superior judge over itself and will conclude all treaties with this tacit reservation. Such was the philosophy that many of the potential leaders of the army absorbed in the schools. What may be the most damaging evidence against Germany is based on the supposition that the Kaiserls government was fully aware of the aims of Austria and especially of the ultimatum to Serbia. Austria, sure that Russia would come to the aid of the Serbs, would never have dared war without an understanding with Germany. The short time allowed to the Serbs to decide a question which amounted practically to giving up their sovereignty or waging a hopeless war indicates a premeditated conflict. Forty-eight hours were given the Serbs to- make this decision concerning national freedom. The delivery of the ultimatum Page Forty-four was carefully timed so that over twelve hours passed before the leaders in the kingdom could be notified. Serbia accepted, with reservations, most of the de- mands, harsh as they were. But Austria was not satisfied and twelve hours later the Austrian diplomatic corps was leaving Belgrade. Realizing that a network of existing treaties would enmesh all Europe in a major war, the other powers urged arbitration. The German Chancellor, Bethmann-Hollveg, although pro- fessing a desire for peace, rejected every plan for arbitration. German official statements said that, although war might result, conciliation, incompatible with dignity, could not be advised. Without the cooperation of Germany nothing could be done, and the blaze spread until all Europe was burning. Russia supported Serbia because of racial sympathy, and England and France were drawn in by alliances with Belgium and Russia. Thus came the outbreak. For this, Germany bears great responsibility, be- cause these events seem to be the actualities engendered by the wild dreams of the rabid pan-Germanists who lived for the Day when the German military machine would carry the Teuton stock over all the world. During four blazing years the sons of the Fatherland fought gallantly. In the first months of battle the irresistible military machine swept through Bel- gium and northern France, only halted by the desperate French at the very gates of Paris. They drove so close to the capital that their long range guns dropped shells in the streets and the shining helmets of the Uhlans could be seen from the Eiffel tower. Driven back, they held at the Aisne, a long wall of men re- treating or surging forward with defeat or success, until, the empire crumbling behind them and their people impoverished, the survivors of the p-roud army saw their government submit to the peace at Versailles. The Allied nations, especially France, determined that German military power should be a thing of the past. The Germans returned to peace time endeavor and to an attempt to restore the prosperity of their country. But they did not forget their military heritage. In ten years they were on their way. Allowed no naval vessels bigger than ten thousand tons, they built the best ten thousand ton cruisers in the world. Allowed no military planes, they developed commercial aircraft, until they had the best airlines in the world. Allowed a standing army of 100.000, they made these men the best trained soldiers in the world. Always noted for the brilliancy of their scientific research, what forms of deadly arms or poisonous gases they may have invented we do not know, but it is safe to say that Germany has not been idle in this field. Despite the efforts of the Nazis to keep knowledge of arms manufacture from the rest of the world and the rigorous restrictions placed on employees in munitions factories, news of the accelerated production of arms leaks out. Re- liable evidence points to the increased manufacture of airplanes, machine guns, shells, heavy artillery, tanks, and all the other appliances necessary to modern warfare. This evidence is supported by Germany's own import figures, which show marked increases in those products used in arms manufacture. Imports of cellulose, used in high grade explosives, jumped over 300fk in 1953 and imports of scrap iron increased over ten times. Reports of observers in Germany are full of such examples of armament activity. If the leaders in Germany today were truly in sympathy with the cause of peace, Europe would not need to fear, but despite Hitlerls peace talk, the chief aim of his party seems to be to strengthen by arms the international position Page Forty-five ummm?-ummm, DEDHAM H.S. of Germany. Hitler says that Germany does not seek to rearm but demands arms equality be achieved by the disarmament of others. He maintains that if others do not disarm, it is a practical violation of the Treaty of Versailles. Added to this is the revivifying of racial pride. Hitler knows that the Ger- man people have felt such pride before and his power lies in his masterful touch on this responsive string. To emphasize the importance of the German, Hitler persecutes other races and bars from his country all literature not favorable to his policies. Now Europe is faced with a Germany marching once more, with the proud strut characteristic of the Kaiser's cohorts. Now again Europe sees the German people being instructed in what they consider the glorious heritage of their race. Now again appear these two uncontrollable monsters, racial pride and military power, that have led the world to war before and are now tending in the same direction. Germany will not fight tomorrow or next year. The fighting body of 1914 had been ready four decades, but the sons of the Fatherland waited for the right moment. ls not Germany now awaiting another Day when she will set out to conquer her neighbors? This is a question that will be plainly answered within the next few years. For, in addition to the nationalistic spirit of Germany, there are numberless situations which may precipitate a conflict. Louis Adamic writing about the Balkans in Current History warns of their dangerous unrest due to oppressive economic conditions. Many other sections, such as the Saar Basin, the source of a recent war scare, are looked upon as danger spots. If any of the great powers should fail to cooperate in guarding against crisis in these threatening situations, we may expect to see an incident no greater than the one which precipitated the last war cause the slaughter of more millions in another. When Hitler feels that Germany is ready to strike, he will have no difficulty in finding an occasion for War. just as in 1914, the basic cause for the war will be the desire of a proud nation to better its economic position. Such improvement means the attainment of assets in the form of productive lands or of commercial advantages. From the militaristic viewpoint, the former may be obtained by conquest of lands and the latter by crushing a commercial rival. The people who desire such assets are actuated by personal greed because they expect to profit by them. Since profit is the end the nations seek, we must convince them that, when War is the means used for gain, the cost is immeasurably greater than any possible profit. There used to be profit in warfare, when the Romans were spreading their empire by the conquest of barbarism, but with every advance in the science of slaughter, the cost in armaments and in loss of life and property increased, until such an enormous expenditure is necessary to carry on war that both the victor and the conquered are economically and morally wrecked. To see the economic ruin of the combatants we have only to look at the nations today struggling in a period of distress unparalleled in world history. The seven greatest powers spent approximately S178,000,000,000, to carry on warfare. When we consider the cost of individual items, it is easy to see how such gigantic sums may result. The shells fired by the famous French 757s cost twenty-five dollars apiece. In a single bombardment sometimes 4,000,000 shells may be fired, a cost of 5100,- 000,000 for the operations of one type of gun on a single front. Completely equipped tanks cost S80,000, and 'first class naval vessels come between 11 and 330,000,000 Other expenditures connected with any war are payments to veterans and their families. In the United States alone, this amounts to almost Page Forty-six a billion dollars a year and is steadily increasing. Property losses in the war zones and on land and sea are almost incalculable. The payments on the money borrowed for the war have wrecked the nations economically. To realize the moral ruin left in the wake of war, we must remember that it is the cream of the youth of every land who die on the battleheld, and the world loses the undeveloped talents of all these dead. The 13,000,000 who perished in the World War are a loss that cannot be measured in money. Nor can dollars express the suffering of millions of the disabled and bereaved. ln those who live, the war brings about a great moral slump. Many soldiers become hardened to killing on the battlefield and to other horrors, degradations, and brutalities in which they participate and carry this moral insensibility back into civilian life. We wonder how nations can choose this War when its costs are so great. If Man in the aggregate is rational at all, the reason must be that he does not realize the expense of his folly. A people whose vision is not obscured by the splendid trappings of war, which only conceal its horror, will never follow the doctrines of a militarist. This blindness tc- war costs is perhaps what causes the German people to follow Hitler. When they penetrate his brilliant emptiness and turn to improvement by developing the products of their own lands and by ex- celling commercial rivals in fair competition, they will have taken the road that leads to a bright future. If the Germans walk in peace, national improvement will come soon, but if they follow the paths of war, Disaster lurks near for the Germans and for the world. James A. Mulleern, Jr. 'U THE CHALLENGE American civilization-is it in advance or retrogression? A swift glance over the surface reveals a nation rich in scientific knowledge and gifts of art in music, painting, and literature, a heritage partly produced by ourselves and even more drawn from all other nations and races of the world. The United States is credited with maintaining the best known standards of living and a high degree of culture inculcated by excellent educational systems and institutions. There is the peculiarly American ideal of freedom, of equal opportunity, and of brother- hood. It would be easy to feel that we who are about to enter actively into society are in a most favorable position to gain much for ourselves and give generously to others. But let us examine more critically what lies beneath this surface of seeming approximate perfection. It is true we are advanced in many ways, but this progress has been coincident With, and shamefully oblivious of the development of many evils. There have steadily grown within our supposedly superior Ameri- can society numerous malicious forces threatening to uproot and destroy our ideals and give this country a place in history comparable, as ex-President Lowell of Harvard is reported to have said, to the corrupt and degenerate Roman Em- pire before its downfall. The least serious of these as yet is the radio. Being such a recent invention, it has not had time for very great depreciation. Nevertheless, there are definite indications of tendencies toward cheapening and vulgarizing the types of pro- grams. Rambling detective stories, for instance, with shallow plots and little Page Forty-seven - Deon-IAM H.s. regard for plausibilityg crude comedians-not very numerous as yet, but getting their start, children's hours filled with artificial events and unnatural characters. The musical programs, too, show a tendency to depreciate, both in quality of composition and in rendition. Without enumerating all its faults, it is easy to see that, while the radio could be one of the most valuable of educational mediums, it is in danger of continuing its downward trend and becoming a great social menace. In the motion picture is a more serious problem. It is a human characteristic to receive a deeper impression from the pictorial expression of an idea than from the verbal, such as books, lectures, and sermons. This is particularly true of children and those of weak judgment and meagre intelligence. More than once has a robbery or even murder been committed by a mere youngster who admitted his act to have been instigated by something he had seen at the movies. Crime with impunity, drunkenness without disapprobation, disrespect for family life taken for granted, unscrupulous cleverness exalted, and honor ignored-all these leave their mark on the undeveloped and undiscriminating mind. There are in the United States about 21,000 moving picture theaters, with an average weekly attendance of 23,000,000 children and young people. This indicates how ex- tensively the movies are permeating and molding the social standards of the country. Still more powerful than the movies is the press, which has perhaps a greater influence than anything else in the education of the public. One-fourth of the world's newspapers, totaling about 15,000, are published in the United States alone. Freedom of the press allows them a choice between a course of stimulating intelligent reasoning or harping on popular fallacies, half-truths, and stereotyped, ready-made opinions. They can create understanding of public questions, or hide the facts and produce misconceptions and prejudices. They can raise the standards of citizenship, public morals and culture, or debase them to the meanest levels. They can awaken desire for harmony among the different classes, or increase the jealousies which have already become too bitter. They can foster understanding of other countries and the will to cooperate with foreign policies, or they can breed intolerance and blind fanaticism. It is all too evident which of these courses the great majority of our newspapers follow. The worst menace is in the so-called yellow press and the tabloids. These take advantage of the readiness of many people to believe anything they see in whatever paper they have chosen as their authority, like the unquestioning subjects of a despot whom they themselves have raised to the throne. They make venomous attacks on opposite party candidates, they make popular heroes out of criminals, they make sensational the news of transient interest. By plastering their pages with real or faked photographs, they follow much the same psychology as the moving picture-that to the mind of lower intelligence, pictorial evidence is far more effective than verbal. These are only a few of the vices of the press, but more than enough to make apparent the urgent need for its regeneration. The accusation of other world powers that the United States has the worst criminal record is justifiable to a disgracefully great extent. We say we are waging a war against crime, but the real war, as the late journalist, William G. Shepherd, once wrote, is that of gangster gunmen and pigheaded politicians 'tplundering 125,000,000 peoplefl In Minneapolis a few years ago, a newly elected mayor started a city cleanup by ordering saloons closed on Sundays. Sunday business was too good for the saloon-keepers to lose, and the result was Page Forty-eight a succession of nightly robberies at some wealthy homes in the city, which lasted about two weeks. Then came criticisms of the mayor for the crime wave. He was informed by a friend of the thieves that the loot would be returned from Omaha where it was stored, if the saloons might open Sundays. The mayor refused, and so was defeated next election because of the crime wave during his term. To be sure, the stolen property was returned by Omaha police, and the saloons did remain closed one day a week, but the thieves were never even arrested. Hundreds of similar stories could be told of bold robbery and shooting and kidnapping going on unopposed and unavenged. Defense is feeble because too often the public safety agent is in league with the criminals. The story of St. Paul's late chief-of-police, for instance, is a familiar example. O'Connor made St. Paul the fostering home for criminals who would not molest any of its resi- dents, and who would keep out other crooks. This clever compromise made St. Paul one of the cities best protected from crime, but surrounding cities and states paid heavily. Even when there is an honest police department doing its duty conscien- tiously, no headway can be made against such hampering court procedures based on an antiquated legal system, as is found all over the United States. In com- parison with those of other countries, they are not only abominably slow, but often fail utterly to administer justice. Criminals whom everyone must know are constant law-breakers, are brought to court time after time, and, having friends on the jury, or support of crooked politicians, or money in their pockets tempting the judge, are acquitted. While raiding the office of a Capone follower, last year, a policeman shot the gunman, merely giving him some of his own medicine-the gangster lived to see the officer of the law convicted of assault. Thus, instead of an honest institution for preserving justice, the court has too often become a battlefield for brains, where lawyers use all their mental powers earning money proving innocent the men all the world knows are guilty. It must seem now that I have depicted society as very corrupt and practi- cally hopeless-that society in which we are about to take our places in politics, business, and the professions. Yet this brief summary has presented neither the whole, nor yet the worst. We also see disgraceful practices in business, saloons and cheap dance halls constantly extending their influence on society as their patronage increases, the slums, which should have been eradicated a generation ago, still undermining the health and morals of a large portion of our citizenry. The list of our national evils could be extended almost indefinitely. But the more desperate the situation the greater the opportunity for service to the coun- try. There is a tremendous challenge to our generation to cooperate in the reformation of the cultural, social, economic, and political conditions existing today. The nation needs intelligent leaders-leaders in business, politics, and education-men and women who will work sincerely for high ideals regardless of personal gain, who will not be guided by the desires of the fickle public, but who will themselves be the guides by their own knowledge of what is right, who will be fearless to defy ring leaders, even at the expense of their positions. There must be political leaders to make vigorous campaigns against all the government frauds and inefficiencies. There is an enormous field for improvement in business standards. The title of good business man should eventually mean one who feels a responsibility to his customers for producing serviceable clothing, or durable machinery, or pure food, and then selling them for their true Worth. In the field Page Forty-nine r H,S, of social activity too, must there be influential people to guide public tastes to higher levels-to support the best art on the stage, on canvas, and in literature and musicg and not alone in the fields popularly understood as arts, but also in the fine art of living-to refine our manners and tastes in all contacts and ac- tivities. james Truslow Adams defines a leader as having clearcut ideas to which he holds firmly, Hnot veering with every wind, every man he talks to, every pressure brought to bear upon him. He possesses courage and a certain idealism ea vision of what might be. This quality must our future leaders have. But our cooperation, the whole-hearted support of all of us, is needed even more than great leaders, for those few that the nation can boast today are tragically handicapped by lack of followers. The general public is so indifferent to societys subjection to the criminal, so unconcerned about graft and corruption taking place right before their eyes, so smug in the face of dishonesty in business! But this same public sets no limits to the violent bitterness with which it treats party opponents, and allows jealousy to conceal the merits of either the man or his measures. There is not enough vigor and enthusiasm to accomplish great things together, unless there are waiting at the end of the project some fat bank notes for all who share in it. There must be in the future, in order to efface the evils of the country, a rebirth of that patriotic spirit which unites great numbers in the eager and unselfish support of the right leadership. It will be a costly experiment at first-it is so hard to remodel entirely the customs which have been developing and becoming inherent in the course of a century and a half. But, as Charles Edward Russell, leader in many reform movements, says, 'tevery attack on every intrenched evil helps the onward mo- tion. For no matter how much of a failure a reform movement appears at first, it will in time be partially, if not wholly victorious. People are too much inclined to think that if their attempts to introduce reforms are defeated, all is hopelessly lost. But ideals are not realized at the wave of a hand. All through history one will find stories of drastic failures at the beginnings of reform movements, but seldom will he find that right did not gradually conquer. Consider, for instance, the Chartist movement in England-in the eyes of the people at the time, doomed to destruction and the cause of miserable suffering. Yet now almost everything Chartism stood for is in effect. In our own country, too, may be cited the early struggles for union. After the revolution, continued threats of disruption finally culminated in secession and the Civil War. But yet, how absurd it would now be to consider withdrawing from the Union because of a difference of opinion, even as momentous a difference as arose over the slavery problem! Again, think of the long struggle for public schools in America. In the early days of the Republic, only the well-to-do were considered worthy of any schooling. But the middle of the last century, under such leaders as Horace Mann, Henry Barnard, and Bronson Alcott, brought the destruction of privilege in education. These heard Emerson's ringing call to 'fhitch their wagons to stars. So it may be in our times. Perhaps that thoroughgoing, ardent cooperation we long for can only be Ha vision and a dreamf' But though present leaders may not be recognized or appreciated before the next generation, in the end they shall not have labored in vain. Let that be an inspiration to us, too, to obey Emerson's call and so be star-led to build the world again. Gail Cowan Page Fifty D. H. S.

Toohey, revealed much previously hidden talent. Edward Hooper as the suffering Mr. jones and Margaret McNally as the tearful Mrs. jones tried to break up the affair between Charles Mill as their son Wilbur and Leona Wood- ward in the role of Diana Devereaux, the actress, thus causing many humorous situations. john Reynolds was the college friend, Billy Morgan, whose bright ideas got his chum into scrapes. Sally Costello played Mildred, the little girl next door, who was formerly engaged to Jonesy. Anne, the bookish daughter, who was disgusted with her brother and the rest of the family, was well played by Priscilla Barlow. .Alexander George was the wealthy Stanley jackson, uncle of Diana, whose motto was 'twork hard while you are young. As Silverburg, the traveling salesman, joseph Nadolski cringed and threatened in turn most convincingly. Judith Brooks, the sympathetic maid Katie, and Frank Kelly, the policeman, with Gordon Thompson and Donald Bishop, the plumbers, com- pleted the cast. As a result of the play the talents of Edward Hooper as a humorist were discovered.

H: I bequeathed Helen Krubel's fountain pen to Bee Amidown. Let's hope it brings her luck. F: Did you know that Division B left Doris jenner's scientific ability to Oran Dietzel? H: He should have given it to Wendell Segersten. f'Them that needs ought to have, is my motto. E: Remember the old days in the institution when C was going to leave Helen Barnes' ankle socks to Clinton Lawry? F: C died as the result of a mental disorder, didn't he? E: Yeh, trying to remember whether Mr. Greene wanted him to study for a test, or to study for a test. F: Poor C! I remember how he tried to persuade Eddie Hamilton to give his saxophone to Rene Mears. D: That little thing couldn't blow it hard enough to make any noise. '34: Then the underclassmen could listen to the orchestra with more comfort. H: E must have died when he found out fthe time he tried to crash the sophomore dancej that Mr. Peltier's saying The Public always pays was true. 134: It was after that dance that Herbert Mosley left his eye-brow tweezers to Ted Penrose. E: That was as good a legacy as Betty Kelly received. Clifford Smith's Fire Escape! Wlzo wants a fire escape in this enlightened age? F: But E, why did you leave William Stevenson's continual muttering to Beryl Simpson? Page Fifty-eight A D: Probably for the same reason that you left Eloise w'hite'S ever wagging tongue to Hazel jean Rust. 'fOne good tongue deserves a talker. F: If you really want to know, I, of all the divisions, had the most awful end. I suffered through the tale of Mr. Ryan's long trip to Egypt, and died when he did. H: Then what, since Mr. Ryan was dead, did you do about Dorothy Cripps' generous gift? '34: Don't you remember? That little book How to Read Upside Down in Three Hundred Easy Lessons was given to Mr. Bottomley, instead. E: Whatls that rumbling noise up on top of the earth? Sounds like the new seniors marching into the assembly hall.

TIME WILL TELL 'U CAST OF CHARACTERS ToAsT M1sTREss-Agnes Parsons SPEAKERS: Eloise White Mary Duckworth Shirley Robinson Phyllis Atkins Sally Costello Charles Mill George Grant Toast Mistress: Ladies and Gentlemen, fellow comrades of the class of 1934: I am delighted, most assuredly, to have the pleasure, privilege, and honor of introducing to you tonight the world-famed personages whose start on the gr-r-reat road of life Dedham High School and we, their classmates, take pride in feeling that we have given. I could not commence to remind you of the outstanding and miraculous feats which they have performed. So, therefore, I shall not, but shall ask them to speak for themselves. First, may I present the honorable Miss Eloise White, who now, though she is in her anecdotage, will speak to you of her adventures in Little America. Eloise White, speaker from Little America: Zarosinski in his famous rocket ship has just returned from Little America, and told me of the great and famous celebrities he has known in this frigid zone. One of the choice bits of news he brought back was that Edna Moran has followed John Smith down there to play Pocahontas. Mary Harris has just written a book for the Eskimos called, How to Keep Kool, Kalm, and Kollectedf' Lillian Volk, a dressmaker from the Class of '34, is designing grass skirts for Eskimos, while Philip Royal is trying to sell them automobiles with carpet sweepers attached, an invention by the honorable Mr. William H. Harrison. The youthful Judith Brooks has at last reached her goal in this frozen land-vet- erinary to the sick penguins and polar bears, while Francis Hunt, her classmate of former years, has succeeded in teaching the Eskimos jimmy Durante's Unyinished Symphony. Daisy Burdell is now reciting her poetry to the seals, and Alice Conlon is teaching the reindeer her latest giggle. Phillips is commun- ing with nature in catching butterflies. Veronica McAteer, that daring young miss, has just been brought to court by Philomena Gaetanie for stealing ice- cubes from Lillian Force to play miniature golf with. The great athletictstars, Page Sixty Sampson and Norman Walker, have established a nation-wide interest in that once considered dangerous game of tiddly-winks. William Hemmerdinger, a famous track champ, has become captain of the Embroidery Team. Quiet, studious Emma Smith is searching the frozen caves for new rocks and plants, while lively, easy-going Alice Flood has become a South Pole sitter. Walter Lepon, from Green Lodge Gardens, has just purchased an enormous hothouse and has hired Raymond Daugaweet to strike a gong every time the century plant blooms. This is the extent of my knowledge of knowtables dwelling in Little America. I thank you for the privilege accorded me of speaking to you. Toast Mistress: Thank you too much. And now may I ask a person with whom we are all familiar to speak a few words, a woman renowned for her flees-ah, that is-a woman who has recently been traveling through Scotland with her Amalgamated Flea Circus. Ahem! The eminent globe-trotter, Miss Shirley Robinson. Shirley Robinson, representing Scotland: Well, folks, I simply must tell you about my trip to Scotland for a four years, sojourn at the University of Edinburgh for the purpose of studying the fundamentals of flea training. But to go back, a few days after graduation from Dedham High School, june 7, 1934, I left on a pullman for Plymouth, where I took the good ship Mayflower making her return voyage. After a few days on the high seas, while taking my daily swim in the ship's magnificent marble pool, whom should I meet but the distinguished artist, Eugene DeLoria, who was also bound for Scotland to take over the position as leader of the renowned Bagpipe Symphony Orchestra of the Glasgow Opera House. One day a startling rumor was told, that a young lady, traveling incognito under the name of jean Watson, was no other than the famous Madam Humanshank. However, after a day or two we docked at Liverpool, where I had the good fortune of engaging a plane piloted by that dare-devil stunt Hier, Annie Walters. Miss Walters had just accomplished the amazing feat of 'fFlying Down to Rio in six weeks. Life at the university proved to be very dull, and as I figured the fleas needed a change, too, I left for town to take a suite at the Grand Manna Hotel in hopes of seeing the sights. My hopes were gratified, for I no sooner checked in than my bell hop, john MacKinnon, pointed out to me the Prince of Wales' fiancee, Marion MacKinnon, and her personal maid, Virginia Weschrob. Later that afternoon, while out for a promenade, I heard somewhat familiar voices- Ujust coming from the bank, John? So ye have money to put away? I didna put money in the bank. Then ye drew some out, or borrowed? Nae, neither. Ah, well, an, what did you there? I fillet my fountain pen. He turned as he spoke, and I recognized John MacMillan and his companion, Russell MacLaren. They told me they were in search of autographs. just then I heard the familiar strains of I Can't Find the Lost Chord, otherwise known as the Purloined Rope, and a parade of the Black Watch Regiment hove into U N Page Sixty-one sight, with Walter Aikens making a striking figure in his kilts, and leading the procession in the Highland ding. When I returned to the hotel, I found a telegram from my history professor, Kenneth Canham, asking me to return immediately so he could borrow my cigarette lighter, as he had run out of matches. Time passed quickly after all, and I soon found myself once again out in the wide and woolly world. By the time I graduated from the University, the great Mill Pond Bridge, erected by the Tamulaitis-Tileston-Timperi-Tully Inter- national Construction Company, had been completed across the ocean. The bridge, christened by Miss Ruth Rose with a bottle of t'Dillon's Promising Re- sultsl' hair tonic, was dedicated to jessoe-Dankert-Cuff-Lyons. I came via bicycle, and my companion, Malewicz, drove a kiddie car with Celeste Mucciaccio on the handle bars. They were in training for the nationwide Wet Derby. We made an overnight stop at the Stuck Hotel, which was located at 46 degrees longitude and 36 degrees latitude. That night, just as I was dozing off, sweet strains of music reached my ears. It appeared to come from just below my balcony. I found it to be the Irish Minstrels, O'Connell, O'Hara, and Olivier, serenading me with the lively tune, Rocked in the Cradle of the Deepf' The next day I reached home, much the wiser for the knowledge that the Grand Canyon was started by a Scotchman who lost a penny in a ditch. Toast Mistress: Speaking of Scotland reminds me of the notable fact which our next speaker told me not two hours ago. A Scotchman has found a new use for old razor blades-he shaves with them. But perhaps our next speaker would like to recall a few incidental facts herself. May I present the toast of Broadway, the spice of life of New York, the tabletalk of all the world, Texas Guinan's worthy suc- cessor, Miss Sally Costello. Sally Costello, Night Club Hostess: As a night club hostess my line on the notables of the class of '34 is the real low-down on the high-ups. One of the guests of the Bromo Seltzer Club on June 7th, 1946, was none other than the distinguished Walter Winchell, alias Lawrence Gallagher. I started my conversation by asking him if he could refer me to new entertainers, for which he gave me the names of Count Nolfi, Joseph Black, and jack Schortmann, who sing over station P U N K, and also Edith Allen and her interpretation of Tessie the Typist. The attention of Mr. Winchell and the rest of my guests was taken up by the clever dancing of the world's marathon dancing champion, Elizabeth Brennon, who was accompanied by Donald Bishop and his URoyal Dishpansfl My guests were also very pleased with the array of elaborate costumes worn by my entertainers, at which point I referred them to the Eleanor Bishop Fashion Shop in the Bowery. Mr. Winchell informed me that I was running in close competition with Priscilla Barlow, who also owns a night club in New York. At this remark, I planned with Winchell to get in touch with the famous art designer, john Reynolds, who is famous for his paintings of the attractive Leona Woodward and Alice Ekberg on the cover designs of the 'tWhoopee edited by that man-of-the-moment, James Mulkern. Our conversa- tion was interrupted by that new Tammany leader, Politician Bronson Huggard, who ordered that I shut my night club. Immediately I summoned policeman Thomas joseph McNaught, jr., to hand him over to the care of the taxi-cab driver, Edwin Hamilton. Between the two of them, they deposited him in the Page Sixty-two nearest man-hole from which his voice was heard to issue, The paths of glory lead but to the gravy. I must dash off now: cheerio, and be sure to come over any time! Toast Mistress: It is well said that some people are born great, some people achieve greatness, and some just grate on you. But we have a person in our midst whose every word is of vital interest to all the world. So without further ado, may I present Rus- sia's outstanding enthusiast, Miss Mary Duckworth. Mary Duckworth, Enthusiast: Back in '34, when I graduated from that renowned old institution, Dedham High School, I set off to seek my fortune, and knowing that Russia is the home of restless spirits, I betook myself to the place, soon finding myself rushing along a street in Moscow. First, I bought a paper to see if the chain gang was still clinking, and right across the headlines I found, 'fHerbert Loubris, American Diplomat, Converts Stalin to Democracy. And who do you think was one of the first people I discovered in that far away land? Why, Helen Karafotias, of course, gathering material for a Russian history book. I went to a political meeting and there were Agnes Buttlar and Louise Landry emoting on soap boxes for the undying cause of anarchy. Avis Ballentine was at that meeting, and did she make some clever retorts! And say, do you re- member Helen Barnes? Well, I met her walking down the street, and she told me that she had been deported to Russia back in '34 because of her communistic views. Barney and Camella Mariana are teaching the little Russian girls to be champion side-centers and forwards. joe Nadolski, that veritable Russian, and his old side-kick, Otto Engdahl, were running a hot-dog stand on one of Russia's main highways, and doing quite a Russian business, too. I bumped into Dick Alexander at a Russian Carnival. He was just buying a ticket on the Hying horses Cotherwise known as the merry-go-roundskib. He's a big scientist, you know, famous for inventing hairless shaving cream. Phil Atkins and Helen Norton are hostesses on the new commercial airway at Leningrad. I also went to see that great Russian ballet dancer, Mary Kazansky and her personal maid, Ruth McNally, who is going to follow Madame's footsteps. I nearly got arrested one night. It seems that Marjorie White and Mary Deptula are the new officers of law and order over there. They let me off though, because, of course, they remembered our trials with the traffic officers at D. H. S. Mary Findlen and Helen Barris were simply 'tmakingw the country with their Punch and Judy show. The Russian comrades said they were so quaint and American, you know! I also met Florence Haskell giving a concert tour with the theramin. Things were getting too hot for me, so I had to make a hasty exit by Russian down the Siberian steppes and out the back door, straight into the Caspian Sea where, because it was so hot, I took a bath. Toast Mistress: From Russia let us direct our thoughts to the land where cucumbers grow as large as watermelons, the land where a thousand stars glitter, Hollywood. And in this connection, may I refer you to Miss Phyllis Atkins. Phyllis Atkins: Generally speaking, this was the biggest year that Hollywood has had since everything went boom, and accommodations were scarcer than courteous cops. Page Sixty-three DEDHAM H.S. Being a visitor in Hollywood, I slept in Gail Cowan's cocoanut tree. The next morning, during my conversation with Gail, she told me that Mason Bassett, theatrical producer, was found to have been placed in dead storage along with the scenery of his latest flops. There were nightly benefits played at the Holly-Cats Club-most of them for the benefit of the night club owners, Mary Davis, Wendell Simpson, and Eleanor DeVito. At these benefits were Dorothy Cripps serving Charlie Peltier and jake Ryan her home-made biscuits: Doris Gibson and Laura Olson vying for honors in the floor show. Doris crashed in with her Carioca and Laura was pushed in by her able manager, Annie Pizzano. Here also was Peg Harrison, the voice culturist of Hollywood, who has become famous for removing the squeaks from the voices of Minnie and Mickie Mouse, alias Betty Brown and Thomas Kennedy. Some of the rich are so exclusive they talk only to themselves. The two Hollywood queen bees, Ottavina Paduano and Dorothy Lowe, are each struggling for the right to entertain such visiting socialites as Martha Quinlan and Repre- sentative Beatrice Moreshead. Helen Krubel has for years been trying to crash the gates, but so far she hasn't found out that it doesn't get one anywhere to push doors marked Pull. The gasoline tax at Michael Cocci's filling station is eight cents per gallon. 'fIt is cheaper to pay the tax and walk, someone heard Al George, a cameraman, say the other day. James Levangie would like to play shuffle-board with our own champion, Normalene Carty, if he weren't too tired to stand up without the support of his stick. Driving down Hollywood's main street practically my only amusement was seeing Bernard Walker dressed in pale blue livery crawling under an Austin for tinker Work. I discovered that an orange in the North doesn't taste like an orange. I recommend Doris Jenner's oranges, with thin skins and very red complexions. As I was walking down the Boulevard of Broken Screams, I met Florence Linderholm, who was advising Marion Gehling, Emma Freier, and jean Hallett that the best reducing exercise is to shake the head violently from side to side when offered a second helping. Hurricanes are much in demand here, because after a hurricane, Winifred Noseworthy, the interior decorator, and Edward Hooper, the palm-tree breeder, do a marvelous business. It is possible to vacation now for nothing, because at the end of the town there is an unopened hotel owned by John Dower and mismanaged by Ruth Pettingell. I only hope that they succeed in opening this place in time for our next reunion. Until then, a fond farewell. Toast Mistress: We have with us this evening a man of great merit and importance, the big man from the little state, The Honorable Mr. Charles Mill of Rhode Island. Charles Mill: As Senator from Rhode Island, I see many of my old classmates from the Dedham H. S., class of 1954, who are now employed in Washington. Among them are Maybelle Anderson, whose last name is now Vanderbilt, and Mrs. Huey Long, Jr., who is the former shining light of Dedham society, Katherine Mahern. Mrs. Page Sixty-four Vanderbilt is one of Mr. Roosevelt's cabinet members, while Mrs. Long is fol- lowing in the footsteps of her illustrious father-in-law, Huey, Sr. Helen Lucas, another of my classmates, is now employed as secretary to General Johnson, the perennial NRA chief, while Frank Kelly, whose masterpiece of dramatic art, How to Flit from Africa to Kalamazoo on Fifty Cents, is known the world over, is in charge of the Home Budget Bureau of the Department of Budgets, and that intrepid mountain climber and speller, Anthony Scafati, is in the Depart- ment of Education in charge of pasting pictures of Mr. Heaphy in all the class- rooms in the United States. Christina Shewan and Dorothy Powers are in the mint, where they put In God We Trust on all the nickels. Daniel DeVito is also in the mint in charge of slipping five dollar bills to the senators. He ought to be coming soon with mine. Arlene Hodges, Elizabeth Dowd, and Margaret McNally come to see me quite often in their capacity as Secret Service Agents. They are now engaged in searching for a man named Dallinger, or Dillinger, or some such name, who, it seems, escaped from prison about the time we were graduating from high school. Arnold Kalshenek, who starred on Mr. Colson's track team back in '34, is now teaching all the senators physical education and is noted for his gruelling checker matches. William White, who always seemed to be loafmg in algebra, and who did about as little homework as I did, is now making good use of his training in his capacity as Adjutant-General in charge of designing gold braid. Harold Longden, one of the quieter people in the class, has recently been promoted to the position of General-Street-Cleaner here and has the snappiest looking sweep and shovel brigade that I have ever seen. Harold was telling me that he expected lots of work today, as there will be a huge parade in honor of Lillian Illeman, who has just returned from a trip to Panama, where she subdued the East Panama and North Colombian Revolution, Inc., single-handed, by feeding the leader, General Eleanor Fordham, a patented Ryan Knockemdown Pickemup gumdrop. She then brought Eleanor back to Wash- ington where she entertained the Congressmen by doing the Highland fling on the Capitol dome. Well, I must leave now, as I have several important bills to attend to. Thank you. Toast Mistress : Our last but highly honored speaker is Mr. George Grant. Words cannot express the gratitude which we feel for this man, who has been so distinctly beneficial to the community. He, together with Miss Lundberg, has, you all recall, successfully conducted' a drive against the sidewalk writers and noisy town meeting members. He is the inventor of the famous slogan, Hooey for Hooper. But now without further praise of his merit on my part, may I present our own dear Mr. George Grant, Esq. George Grant : Indeed, I, in turn, feel highly honored by the privilege accorded me of speak- ing to my dear fellow classmates. After spending a highly successful summer in hunting red blackbirds in Baltimore, I am highly elated to enjoy again the warm fellowship of my classmates back here in Dedham, and also to mention a few incidents pertaining to them. I've heard that George Hannaford, now a successful dentist, told William Stevenson, I don't care if you haven't the money to pay for your teeth just now, but please don't sneer at me with my own teeth. Page Sixty-five ,, DEDHAM H.S. Daily I come in close contact with Ohrenberger and Mosley, dog fanciers, who supply the high school cafeteria with hot dogs and devil dogs, thereby trip- ling the business of Romaine and Winters, present proprietors. Only yesterday I saw Buckler, now manager of the world-famous pingpong player, Gordon Thomson. Buckler was idly chatting with Bob Birchall, whose invention of a treadmill saves needless running around the cinder track, and Arthur Neale, now a bat boy for the Boy Scout baseball team at East Pasadum- cluck. Frankly, would any of you guess that Clifford Smith would have become an algebra teacher? Or that Charlie Howard, one of the Brown Iron Men, a salesman for the Puick Company, or that Bob Conant would be trying to cash in on Ded-ham 'n' eggs? Yesterday john McCarty, a swimming instructor at the home of the insane, wrote me that he has just finished building a swimming pool there. He says the inmates enjoy the diving immensely, but will probably enjoy it more when the water is put in the pool. Evelyn Stoddard and Margaret Sherblom have just finished interior decorat- ing at the home of the blind. The patients say that it is the best job that they have ever seen. Imagine my surprise when I read the newspaper today to find that John McDonough was transferred to the Boston Bruins to take the place of goalie t'Tiny Thompson. My amazement was still more complete when I found that Nancy Young is still on the trail of Mr. Peterson's eleven dollar spectroscope. Detective Miss Young claims that she is only doing her duty for Mr. Peterson, in trying to allay his suffering. 'tBesides, she adds with a shrug, it isn't any good to anyone but Mr. Peterson, and the person who so basely stole it will have to throw it in the dump sooner or later, never knowing its value. She has been assisted in this noble work by her secretary, Elvira DeBenedictis, who, besides being Nancy's secretary, is also frantically trying to remember to remind her cousin Eleanor of her numerous personal appearances. Eleanor, you know, is the author of the famous essay, The Fundamentals of Good Oral Composition. When I visited the high school the other day, I found Edna Howard, Frances Edmands, and Lucy johnson endeavoring as English teachers to show freshmen the evils and pitfalls of oral decomposition. One freshman asked Edna Howard, Do you wanna buy a duck ? Quite indignant, Edna replied, You should say, 'Could I interest you in a portion of a swan?' On the second floor, I found Henry Tilton explaining to his problems class just which corner prosperity is around. Two enterprising workers, S. johnson and Nelson, who believe in starting at the bottom and working up, aspire to be head janitors some day. Just to make my visit natural, I had to visit the office, and there was Peggy Beeton taking Elsie Haley's place. At the moment she was busily engaged in reprimanding a freshman for eating an apple outside the cafeteria, as though he had the privileges of a senior. Now, feeling that it is time to cut short my speech, I thank you. Toast Mistress: And now may we close by singing that grand song we all loved so much those many years ago, Here's to Dedham High School.
