I n Class I936 YEAR BOOK 1936 AGNES R. AKERMAN A kind heart is better than all the heads in the world. Who is this quiet and de- mure young lady? Why Reitz, of course. She is liked by all. Although her destination is undecided, we feel sure that she will be a successful private secretary. We also know that she loves to go canoeing. ,ALICE J. AKERMAN A merry heart goes all the way. Tall, slender, attractive, with a joyous personality and a winning smile-that is AL Her sincere man- ner has won for her many friends. Dancing and roller- skating are her favorite pas- times. She hopes to go around the world after fin- ishing a course at the Indus- trial and Filing School. IVAR F. ANDERSON He still retains that. happy, freshman expression. As Soap hopes some day to be his own boss, he is practising now with hand me ' the Sledge hammer. Sounds as if he intended to be a carpenter. Maybe he'il build an addition to good old D. H. S. MARY ANDERSON Friends-she has many, Foes-has she any? Mary is one of the sweet- est girls in our class. Never yet has she been in need of a friend, as her smile has won her many. She is a lover of sports and participates in nearly all. Mary is sure to be seen at basketball and football games, and is one of our most dependable rooters. Dancing and swimming are her favorite hobbies. Her ambition is to become a priv- ate secretary. S PAULINE A. ANDRULIS Serene of mind, cheerful of heart' Chickie has helped to chase away the gloom that may have hung over any class. Someday she hopes to become an aviatrix in her own right, and whatsoever she may do, we know she will do it well. JOHN C. BACKIUS Such a man! We wish there were two of him. Johnny's great love and desire for the sea may lead him to Annapolis, where we think he should win as many laurels on the gridiron as he did at Dedham High. His musical talent may also take him places. To this he would probably say, Cut it out, will you? NANCY M. BAILEY There is grace in small things. There is an old proverb that all good things come in small packages , and Nance is no exception to this rule. She has personality and pep and just loves danc- ing and driving. Her fu- ture is undecided but we know she will get there. PAUL W. BAKER The great truths are siem- ple, so are the greatest men. Hlmpossible? No, sir, says Paul from under a pile of books and papers. A quiet, reserved fellow who ap- pears unassuming, but his friends know him to be fun- loving.l Paul is ,liked by both his teachers and class- mates. After graduation Paul wants to enter the business world and also to travel. We know that he will succeed. Page Five 1636 ROBERT J. BAKER Good scout, fine pal, real frzerzrlf' Bob is headed for Boston University for a doctor's de- gree. He hopes to be a ship's doctor. Bob is also an accomplished dancer. Swimming is another of his pastimes, in which he seeks diversion f1'om the strenuous routine iefncountered in ac- quiring an education. LEONARD A. BALLENTINE H1'l'I'I-l'IldSlUll11 above ,all lies, cloth hind the lleartg And faith in frienflship is the noblest part. When Leonard is around almost anything is likely to happen. He loves to argue. His cheerful smile and en- gaging personality have won him numerous friends. Leon- ard answers to Hey and hopes to be a second Beetle , ANNE M. BECKER Hflllllll-ll-Oll has but one re- ward for all. Beckie, one of our newer members, certainly has done a great deal for our class, and we don't know what we would have done without her. Peter Bent Brigham Hospi- tal is already a good place, but we are sure you'll make it a better one. R. BERNICE BECKER The more you know of her, the better you like her. Do you know what? That is what Bee is always saying. She is a dietitian- to-be and is kept quite busy hair-dressing and sleeping. Her destination is Framing- ham State Teachers' College. Page S if DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Tcrce'nfe'r1ary J. ALLEN BEDARD His talents are of fl more silent class. Although Al is light- headed on the outside, he is the possessor of a smart head on the inside. He has not participated in any sports at school, but we know he was always there to root for the team. His ambition is to become an aviator, and those who know him have no doubt of his future suc- cess. GEORGE C. BLOOMBERG 'Tis my familiar sin to jest. Let us now turn our gaze upon the countenance of one of our regular fellows . It's none other than Bloomie. His witty remarks have brightened many a dull class- room. His ambition is to get something on Mr. Ryan. We put our bets on Mr. Ryan. MARY BOONE It is a friendly heart that has plenty of friends. Though we do not hear very much of Mary outside her circle of friends and in her classes, we know that she is cheerful and very friendly. She likes sports and is very fond of dancing. She is headed for Bryant and Stratton. JOHN A. BOSANQUET Talk to him of Jacob's lad- der, and he would ask the number of steps. A1's devotion to music has brought him fame as a member of the orchestra. His argumentative nature has been, perhaps, too evident. He hopes to go to Annapolis, or to enlist in the navy. LILLIAN BRESNICK Laughing and gay and full of fun She is ever ready when for Bres's laughter and Wit are hard to surpass when she is with a group of close as- sociates. She likes to talk and play bridge, but after graduation hopes to go to the Forsythe Dental Infirm- ary. Class 1936 YEAR BOOK ltc's begun. - 31- 4 la . .4 , f 'x F 5' 1 UI. Ili, Q, 1. I PHYLLIS E. BROAD The sweetest garland to the sweetest maid. Phil is a tall, slender bru- nette. Her ambition is to become a nurse. What fel- low wouldn't be sick, just to have her by his side! When- ever and wherever a dance is held, you are sure to see her there in all her glory. SIDNEY S. BRODY His limbs are cut in manly mold, For hardy sports and con- test bold. Cy was captain of our excellent football team, and did a great job in leading it. He also excelled in basket- ball and baseball. In a few years he hopes to become an athletic coach. Good luck to you, Cy , and may you go a long way. ETHEL MAY BROWN A sweet quietness envelopes her. This little girl enjoys read- ing and hopes to be a private secretary, after attending a business college. A N.--7 1 9 Ji 6 GERTRUDE H. BRUEGGEMANN A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the best of men. Gertie's favorite occupa- tion is walking, but if she fulfills her ambition, to be- come a telephone operator, she'll soon change it to talk- ing. She is moving to Hud- son, Mass., where she is tak- ing that favorite expression, Oh, my dear! DOROTHY E. BULLOCK A friendly smile, a friendly way. Dolly is always admir- ing things with It's heaven- ly. Maybe she got this from attending the movies or perhaps the idea of want- ing to become a reporter orig- inated there. Anyway she enjoys the movies. EILEEN J. BULMAN A demnre maiden with few words and many thoughts. Eileen sounds like Zazu Pitts when she exclaims, For goodness sakes alive. She is a roller-skater and some- day hopes to roll from the good old town of Dedham as a nurse. JAMES A. BURGESS The world belongs to the energetic. Jimmy wants to go to Hawaii, whitewash ceilings, and be his own boss. Now, that doesn't sound impossi- ble, so go right ahead, Jim- my. Maybe you'll get a mo- nopoly on the whitewashing business there, then you'll be your own boss. Page Seven 1636 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Terceiztenury JOHN F. BURKE The only may fo have rr friend is to be one. True enough, Jack was a quiet boy, but whenever any- thing interesting was going on, one could always find him there. He studied, but not enough to deprive him of out- side activities, in which he thoroughly enjoyed himself. He hopes to become 21 Sales- man. LEO M. BURNS Silence is beffer than mean- ingless words. Here is a very quiet man with an unknown destination. He likes driving and while out on the road you'll pro- bably hear him use that fam- ous phrase, Home, James, and don't spare the horses. EDWARD W. BUTTLAR The man that loves and laughs must sure do well. Edward's ambition is to become an executive in a business firm. He delivers papers now - starting from the bottom always was the best policy. May you stand the strain as well as you do Mr. Kee-gan's arguments! RUTH B. CAHILL Life is foo short fo worry. Ruth's destination is like many others, nowhere, some- where, or anywhere, in other words, it's undecided. But we're pretty sure it's some- where, so Bon Voyage, Ruth. Page Eight FRANCES A. CHAMBERLAIN She is a winsome, wee thing. F1'an's hobby of swim- ming ought to come in handy as her destination is some- where where i't's warm. Her ambition to be well-liked cer- tainly has been achieved among us all. DORIS CHAPMAN An easy-minded soul, and always was. Chappy ardently wishes to become an expert hairdresser and devote her spare mo- ments to swimming. Best of luck, Doris. WINIFRED M. COATES A good sport and a loyal friend. Aw, Gee, says Winnie. And I don't blame her, after trying to keep freshmen and undergrads in line in corri- dors for two years. Her destination - Hickox Secre- tarial School, her ambition - to be successful, the con- nection? - why, you know how well Winnie does some- thing when she has her mind on it. O. BRADFORD COLE Hail, fellow, well met. Brad's favorite occupation is jerking sodas, maybe that's why he's never in school on time. When you take that row-boat cruise, be sure to send us a card from Addis Ababa, - Class i936 YEAR BOOK ALICE R. COLMER A fuiet worker ri. stead 'asf I , friend. Alice's ambition is to get a job and her pastime is reading. But, if you happen to be listening to a spelling match on the radio and you hear a You know what , the speller will have been promptly identified. ELMER R. CONANT Deeds, not words. Heeza is a great lad, and has given us the perfect idea of school spirit. We hope the world is as consid- erate of him as he has been loyal to Dedham High School. Dont forget we're with you, Heeza . JOSEPH N. CONSTANTINO Men are what their mothers made them. Joe hopes to go to Yale, and after that become presi- dent of the J. N. C. Contrac- tor Co. Thats a big order, Joe. But go after it as you did that track award. And may you be successful. GRAFTON J. CORBETT, Jr. Quiet and imassmning, he goes his gentle way. Grafton is headed for Boston College, and we all wish him the best of luck. We can earnestly say that his ambition to become a use- ful citizen, has been already fulfilled in the past four years. I .fl 12 6 MARION G. CORNELL Wit that eau cull forth smiles even from mourn- ers. Corney, the wittiest girl by popular vote, has the fav- orite occupation of horseback riding and her destination is Africa. Well, I've never heard of horseback riding to Africa, but there's a first time for everything. Good luck, Marion. DOROTHEA G. CURRAN A sweet, attractive kind of face. Since Dot's favorite expres- sion is Live and learn we'd like to have you know that she's setting out for the cruel world with an am- bition to study at Portia Law . Do be kind, Dot, and pick on somebody else be- sides Bill to whom to give the third degree. IRENE CRONIN She was just the quiet kind whose natures never vary. The demure young lady is known to our class as UI . Her aptitude for stenography will probably get her a well- paid position. Her quiet Hold the phone , seems to be her favorite phrase, and she loves singing. Her des- tination is unknown, but we are sure she will be a suc- cess. HAROLD G. DANNER In politics, thou 'lU0llld,Sf mix. We certainly hope you be- come the famous criminal lawyer you are striving to be. We know you can and are sure you will. Don't for- get to summon yourself to court, though, with a charge of parking too long on Dedham Island. Page Nine 1636 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Tercentenary NICHOLAS L. DeFALCO Who says little, has little to answer. To become President and Treasurer of the N. L. D. Construction Co. is Nick's ambition, and we wish him success in achieving his aim. However, don't make the lamp post your goal while driving around in your car. AUGUSTA A. DeFELICE A comraflc blitlze and full of glee. Gus is aiming high and if she sticks to her aim as she clings to a basketball, aye, she need never worry. Colne on, Gus , don't let us down. ROBERT H. DELANCEY A lion among the ladies. Bob brought honor to our school, by becoming a State Champion in track. His am- bition is to get ahead tnot necessarily a red-headjg and we believe he will, if he keeps up the good work he has shown in the last two years, while he has been with us at Dedham High School. JOHN F. DELANEY C'om'uge, brother! Do not stumble. Here we have a boy with an unknown destination, but the ambition to become the president of a bank. Hoo't's favorite occpations are walk- ing and swimming. When asked anything his usual an- swer is, How should I know? Page Ten 'Ji RAYMOND J. DONOVAN Great floods have flown from simple sources Donnie, one of our quiet members, is not very well known now as an engineer, but someday he'll be out- standing. Happy landing, Ray. VALERIA DOUNIS A quiet exterior conceals much. Chick's favorite occupa- tion is dreaming. Maybe that's why she blushes so, when Mr. Keegan asks one of those questions concerning Buts . Here's wishing you luck, Valeria, at the Chil- dren'a Hospital while fulfill- ing your ambition to be a nurse. We know you can and will do well. CLIFFORD B. DRINKWATER My own thoughts are my companio11s. When we look for Kippy' and can't find him, we are then informed that he is eith- er arguing with Mr. Green or sleeping in 210. We are sorry to hear that you are in doubt as to your destina- tion. DORIS M. DRISCOLL Rather quiet-rather shy, Hut a twinkle in' her eye. Doris wants to continue studying and we know she will keep up her good work. We're sure that her efforts will return a worthy com- pensation. . Class l936 YEAR BOOK ROBERT C. DUFAULT UA smooth and steadfast '7ll'llld.,, Bob can be truthfully called the most quiet member of the senior class. The medical profession offers Bob his am- bition as he hopes some day to become a successful physi- cian. His friendly and quiet nature should carry him far in his field. AUDREY O. DUKE Kind is she whose mind is at ease, And to all, her kind actions do please. Knitting and reading ap- peal to Audrey, but to gain her ambition-growing a foot taller-we advise choosing something where she can stand up and grow tall. PHYLLIS A. DYCKMAN Gentle in manner, strong in performance. Dyckie is one of our class- mates who is fond of roller- skating and is often found at Moseley's. We hope her am- bition to be a success will be rewarded when she enters the business world. HENRI E. ECKHARDT A good true sport. -- and fair, He always does things on the square. ll Henri is a man who excels in French, partly because of his name and partly because of his studying. He was just tops as far as dependa- bility in track was concerned. 1 fl .I li .-an '3 IDA R. EDMANDS O let me dance to a vnwry tune! Our Teddie always has a smile for everybody. She seems to delight in math and science: proof - she is the only girl in the senior phy- sics class. HARRY A. EKBERG Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice. Aw, cut it out. Yes, this is Ecky speaking. He has high hopes of someday be- coming a millionaire. Don't forget us all here in Dedham, will you, Harry? GERTRUDE E. ERNST Give every flying minute something to keep in store. Oh, shucks, Trudy, with your knowledge and love for canoeing, skating, pool, and other sports, you should be able to fly around the world as far as Peking, China. NORMAN J. FERGUSON He said so 'much about him- self, that we might run into contradiction. Fergie's so what expres- sion fits in with his ambi- tion to be or not to be. His favorite occupation, sleeping, would never be guessed from his alertness on our track team. Page Eleven 1636 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Tercentenary GRACE J. FINDLEN And frame your mind fo mirth and merriment, lVhich bars a thousand harms and Ivngflzvns life. What do you think? Finny's favorite occupation is going places, so now we know why Mr. Ryan always thinks someone is following him. Her cheerfulness and good disposition will surely help her to be someone. MARGARET M. GALLAGHER She may look serious, she may look shy, But she's full of if, 'fzvirf you and I. Peaches Peg craves golf and dietetics. We hope you get your desires accounted for in Simmons Collegeg but Peg says, 'Nope', they don't teach both there. BERTHA E. GARLICK This little girl is not so tall, But my, how she plays bas- Ifetballf' Some may remember Ber- tha's nine years of perfect attendance, or maybe her brilliance in basketball, but we shall always remember her braids of long black hair. V. AUDREY GASS Scrious? You may as well expect pears from an elm. Little Audrey's fond of attending problem's class and we wonder why. Her ambition is to be tall and slender. She usually an- swers us with, Who can tell? 1'rlge.Tu'f'lUf' .3 I J VIRGINIA D. GELSMAN True -modesty is a discern- mg grace. Gidge's pastime is read- ing, so maybe that's where she gets her continuous ad- vice of tsk, tsk. We hope your ambition to be success- ful will be realized. ANNA C. GRIFFIN Our contentment 'is our best having. Griff hopes to become a newspaper reporter and al- though her hobby is reading she hopes to change it soon to writing. Her destination is Europe. ELEANOR L. HAIRE And that you study to be quiet, And do your own business. Ellie is an enthusiastic wa- ter-sprite usually found in or around ponds, lakes, or sea. Her ambition - to retire when still young - may be accomplished by her desire to get a job. JAMES G. HAMILTON He makes up his size by his aggresswenessf' Better known as Jimmy, he has a hobby of going on bi- cycle trips merely to climb water towers. Just mention water towers to him and a strange gleam comes into his eye. Class I936 YEAR BOOK 1 9 3 '5 THOMAS J. HANNON A friend to all who know him. Our Tom has a weakness for skiing, it is even ru- mored that he wears his skis to bed. He also holds a warm place in his heart for the girls, for he really would be lost without them. WALTER F. HAPENNY l Happy , you move so mod- erately Evmywhere you go: Here's a fireerackeir - Now I guess you won't be so slow. So it's business you're af- ter, well, go ahead, but as for reaching Ireland, aw- cut-it-out, you know you'll never get there by swim- ming. MADELINE N. HASKELL Her misty hair is faint and fair. Mad often suggests, Oh Fudge , but actions speak louder than words. How about it, Mad? She aims to be a nurse and in spare mo- ments to amuse herself by dancing. MARGARET V. HAYES Dancing eyes and dimples deep Help to make her a, pal to keep. After attending Katherine Gibbs School, Peg hopes to obtain a job. Her pet hobby happens to be dancing, and she frequently uses that fav- orite expression, for crying out loud. Z S JEAN A. HEMMERDINGER Hfnlllf' arf is fhuf in ivlzirlz flze hand, flu' lzrud, und the livurf go fogeflzerf' Judging by the driving ex- amination held at the high school, Jean, who received the highest mark, will become one of our most efficient women drivers. Jean's ambi- tion is to become a dietitian in some hospital, and we are wishing her the best of luck. S. BLAKE HODGES Good sense and good 'mt- fure are never sep1u'r1fed. Sid is headed for Admiral Farragut Academy, after that he desires to become com- mander of a ship. Sid is certainly becoming used to the water now, as he spends his leisure time paddling on the Charles. Maybe he will someday represent Dedham in the U. S. Navy. EMILY M. HOLLENBACK Heaven in her eye, In every gesture, dignity. That smiling girl in the middle of a group is Dutchy who likes sports of all kinds but excels in paddling. She hopes to win a champion- ship someday. Her destina- tion is unknown but we know she will succeed. ELIZABETH M. HOPKINS No profif grows where is no pleasure taken. A career as a dental hy- gienist, after attending C0- lumbia University, is Hop- py's ambition. If interest in physiology and biology is helpful, Hoppy is well along the way and should certain- ly achieve her aim. Page Thirteen 1636 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Tercentenary ELIZABETH M. HORTON A ronl lady makes no noise. To become a young sophis- ticated lady is Betty's am- bition, but it seems that she has already achieved her de- sire. Betty spends her leis- ure time day dreaming Qin school'?J and window shop- ping. CHARLES W. HUNT The young man that blushes is no! quite a brute. Charlie, who blushes be- fore the ladies, slyly admits his favorite occupation is studying. lWe wonderlb Bos- ton College will be the next step in Charlie's education, where he hopes to become proficient in English. Maybe the next addition to the Eng- lish department in Dedham High will be Mr. Hunt! ALMA IMBARRO Silence is sweeter fhcuz speech. Min ' has chosen to be a bookkeeper and hopes to be employed in some large con- cern. Her good humor and jollity should bring her suc- cess in any profession. SUSAN IRVING Hirst 'wifh each talent and arf fo please, And born to write, converse, and live with ease. Sue, one of our most con- scientious classmates, de- clares that her favorite oc- cupation is sleeping. Al- though she has only attend- ed Dedham for the last two years she has become one of our most popular seniors. Her next alma mater is to be Radcliffe, where the A's which she obtained in high school will help her to carry on to still greater success. Page Fourteen PAUL JESSOE A plain, blunt, man. Here's to the future me- chanic of the class of 1936 who takes delight in repair- ing old automobiles. Since Paul is the only member in the class who is graduating with the prospects of becom- ing a mechanic, at least he will not have any rivals from his old alma mater. ERLING JOHANNESEN Still waters run deep? Joe, preferably Peanuts , has successfully fulfilled his great ambition to graduate from high school and now looks forward to becoming one of the future governors of Massachusetts. Believe it or not, he spends the great- er part of his time in bed, has an occasional game of football, and takes a swim in the Charles. KENNETH E. JOSEPH Not so short, not so tall, Who seems as quiet as a garden wall. Narragansett and Sarato- ga hold the interest of Ken, as someday he hopes to be- come a famous jockey. Dur- ing the winter months Ken may be found at any rink participating in his favorite sport, hockey. FRANCIS A. KATCHPOLE An mzextinguished laughter shakes the skies. Bob's pep and good hu- mor have won him many friends in high school. S. S. Pierce Co. is the destination Bob seeks, where he hopes some day to become manager. If earnest effort counts, he deserves to succeed. Class i936 YEAR BOOK 1 9 3 5 IDA V. KATCHPOLE Chance generally favors the prudent. Katchy is quiet and re- served but nevertheless con- fesses that she is often found staying after school. Heaven only knows where her ,destination is, although Katchy is planning to study nursing. MARION KEITH Good sense, which only is the gift of Heaven. What do you think, any- way? Keithie's ambition is to work and her favorite oc- cupation is to dream. Well, I suppose you can do one while you're not doing the otherg don't ever let them get twisted and you'll be all right. THERESA M. KENNEDY To play a game well is sat- isfactoryg To play it exceptionally well is to win distinction. Terry is one of our best girl athletes, jolly and un- sophisticated. She has been very active in all school en- terprises. We feel assured Terry's good humor and ef- ficiency will help to bring her success in the business world. JEANNE A. KINGSFORD Oh happy, happy maid. Jeannie confesses that her favorite occupation is ped- dling milk. Her ambition is to earn money, but she is reticent about divulging her future destination. To such a reserved and dignified girl success is inevitable. KENNETH R. KLOFKORN He who hath a thousand friends has not one to spare. Kenny seems to be one of our silent men, as he refuses to tell us his ambition and destination. Although he has only been with us for the past two years he has made many friends. He says his favorite pastime is sleeping. fln study halls, Kenny?J SARAH E. LALLY My Clays pass pleasantly away. Lu's favorite expression, Has anyone seen Marion? is often heard about the school. She aspires to 3 business career after attend- ing Katherine Gibbs'. Sally's success in the business world is a perfect cinch , with her ambition and personality, LOUIS F. LANGIONE Against all chances men are ever fine1'ry. Louis' many friends are always greeted with Hello, my friend . He is much in- terested in the newspaper business, in which he has al- ready made a good beginning. He desires to become a share- holder in the Boston Globe and after he has made his fortune, he hopes to travel to and from Tahiti! Louis simply can't help being a suc- cess if he keeps up the rec- ord of all round good fellow- ship which he has set for himself in high school. M. MARIE LEAHY Her voice was ever soft, gentle, and low, an excellent thing in a woman. Hi, Toots , is the familiar greeting of Marie. She seeks a career in the field of nurs- ing, so her quiet reserved na- ture will be an asset. Marie intends to spend her leisure hours horseback riding, her favorite occupation. Page Fifteen I 6 3 5 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Tcrcontemtry GRACE E. LOHNES Her modest loolcs the cottage might adorn, 'Sweet as the primrosc peeps lmcnentlz the thorn. Grace also greets her friends with Hi, Toots . In her spare moments she may be found reading the latest novels. She is undecided about her destination. Maybe in your travels, you will find an ideal place to remain, Grace. HELEN L. LUNSMAN A rlnugltfer of the gods, di- rlucly tall. and most divinely fair. Blondic's sweet and in- dividual manner has won her many friends. She is one of our quiet and dignified class- mates. Blondie also seeks success in the commercial world, but if positions are scarce, her second choice is a career as a nurse. SABINA A. LYONS Silence is the mothcr of trzlth.' Quiet and friendly, Sibby is always welcome, although she does call us all fresh . As to your ambition to live a life of ease, just remember that sleep is a waste of time! GRACE MacDONALD The only 'way to have joy is to share it! A charming smile and a cheery Hello introduces our Mac. She has acquired many friends during her stay at Dedham High. She openly admits 'that she loves danc- ing and her passwords, You're O. K., are known everywhere. Best of luck, Mac.

S. gridiron hero but a very modest one, whose spectacular playing has caused much comment and will long be remembered by his classmates and alma ma- ter. He won't let us in on any secrets as to his ambi- tion or destiny, but we know he will succeed at whatever work he may undertake. FANNIE T. MacKINNON A still, small voice. After all , this secretive little person reveals much about herself at the very last moment. Fannie is fond of all sports, as are all her kin. She also states that she would like to be a singer and we have been told that she possesses a very sweet voice. Before Fannie may fulfill her ambition, she, like many oth- ers, will enter the cruel world of business. ELLEN MacQUARRIE Enjoy thy youth, it will not stay. Although quiet in school, Mac is full of fun outside. She just loves dancing and walking. Mac continually asks, If that's a fact? Af- ter going to a business school, she wants to be a private sec- retary. JOSEPH F. MAGGIONI The thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts. Joe is one of our most pop- ular and most ambitious boys. He is another of those football heroes who has done some fine work on the gridiron. Like most of our athletes, he is exceptionally fond of sleep and has complained for the past year because he has not had more than seven hours of sleep at a st1'etch . lWe know the reasonlj Joe as- pires to become a certified public accountant and we have every reason to think he'l1 succeed. Class i936 YEAR BOOK FLORA A. MANNA Silence is the perfcetest herald of joy. Flora was one of Mr. Pel- tier's biggest problems, for she very rarely answered questions in class. After all, we know that a civics class is no place for a quiet, peace- ful maid. Flo is artistically inclined and hopes to attend art 'school and thereby be- come a designer. ANGELO J. MARIANA He is wise who thinks much, speaks little, and writes less. An all-round good sport, with a carefree air, and as merry as the day is long - that's Gello. He loves the great out-of-doors, as do all good athletesg he is another football player who did very commendable workg and he especially kept the cheer leaders busy. We hope that when Gello , becomes a big league ball player he will re- member his alma mater. ELEANOR M. MARTIN A light heart lives long. El is one of our most ar- tistic members and is fam- ous for her pups . Being a very talented young lady, she is forever creating new ani- mals. Destined for the Mu- seum Art School, there, with much patience she hopes to become a great dog artist. She has, incidentally, a very unique profession in this day and age. We may also take this opportunity to commend Eleanor's fine work during the last two years, while ful- filling her duties as our class treasurer. CHARLES H. MARZINZIK i'Sile11ca is more eloquent than words. Charlie is one of our very active track men. Prior to this time, however, he has been a very secretive person, but now he reveals a few facts. Charles spends a lot of time fishing in Mother Brook, but to no avail. So he has decided he would some day like to be a famous crim- inal lawyer. He is destined for Boston University and we all wish him the best of luck! .,dn0 ' I., ,,.-:ev ,ff 19.26 DORIS E. McCREA Style is the rlress of thought. Doris is our best dressed girl and one of our most mu- sical members. I don't know is her favorite expression but it can't be applied to music, for we know that she is an artist at the piano. She will continue her study at the New England Conservatory and hopes some day to teach music. tMaybe Mr. Gibbs' successor, who knows?J Best wishes for success, Doris! WILLIAM C. MCDONALD A little llOH,St'llSC now will then Is l'l'llSll1'fl by the best of men. Mac is our most musical member and well deserves the title. He has displayed his ability as an orchestra leader many times at our school dances and we may predict that he is headed for the top. Drawing is his only diversion from music, except, of course, a little studying. So go to it, Mac , and succeed Cab Cal- loway or Fred Waringg but when you reach the top, don't forget your alma mater. , SADIE A. MCLEAN Purity of mind and conduct Ah me says Sadie and ue don t blame her when her ambition is to get a job. But since her destination is any- where I land we know she won't be disappointed when she gets there. f 4 ll . Y a' 1 ,the first glory of a woman. KL YY 7 7 , , ll Y? Y CLAIRE W.

Reene, our most vivacious member, well deserves this distinction, as she has taken part in numerous class activi- ties. Her favorite sports in- clude basketball, swimming, and tennisg don't be amazed if you see Reene cross the finish line in future canoe races. EDWARD F. MEYERS Oh, how he could rim! Practice makes perfect should be the motto for Mike, for he has gone in for high school track in a big way in an effort to further his am- bition, which is to be a great track star. Like many other of our track men his expres- sion is Oh, yeah! We'll wager that some day the sport accounts of the Olymp- ics will not be all about Glenn Cunningham, but about our own Mike Meyers. ROXY A. MINER Be merry if you are wise! Tramp, tramp, tramp, along the highway, here comes Roxy from Riverdale. Dangerous and mighty queer are these Riverdalers , who spend time teaching their young 'uns to say, Wing him, pappy, he's a revenoorf' And to prove my statement, this young lady aspires to be the Champeen hog caller of Norfolk County and is des- tined for East Cupcake Y ? 'Z Be wary of that town, Roxy! C. JOSEPH MONAHAN Silence is the rirfue of the wisef' Prosperity is in sight: so is Mars, ah nie, but that's a pessimistic viewpoint and Joe has Millions of 'em. They come to him out of a clear sky, while he indulges in his favorite occupation-sleeping. This man of mystery will not even give us a hint as to his ambition or probable destiny, but we know he has a good reason for being so secretive. Happy landings! Pngv Eighteen HOWELL G. MORRIS Then he arose, radiant, rejoicing, and strong. If you've heard someone re- mark, so silly , well, that was only Howell putting to use his favorite expression. Popular, reliable, ambitious, and modest, is this lad who has led our class through its last two years. He has played fair in all things at all times. and will, no doubt, achieve his ambition. He is destined for Boston University. Best of luck, always, Howell! ALFRED J. MUCCIACCIO Glad1zess of heart is the life of num. Mooch is a happy-go- lucky sort of fellow, forever showering us with his witty remarks. Maybe his cheery disposition accounts for his ambition to enter the U. S. Marines. Another one of those fellows whose maneuv- ers on the gridiron brought many cheers from the grand- stand. Smooth s a i l i n g , Mooch. HELEN M. MUIRHEAD Youth comes but once in a lifetime. Helen is possessor of a very cheery disposition. Al- though she doesn't reveal her ambition we may guess that after receiving so much ex- perience in Mr. Cowan's of- nce, she is destined for the world of business. Modest Helen states meekly that her favorite occupation is teach- ing the game of football to the neighbors' cherubs . Who knows but what Helen's secret ambition might be to succeed Mr. Heaphy! RUTH M. MULLEN The face of a friend, How it shines in the dark- ness. So what? says Ruthie in a pondering moody but she has little reason to ask this question, considering the fact that she is one of the few who has a definite idea of what she wants to do, name- ly, nursing. During her lei- sure hours she indulges in reading the latest novels and hopes some day to travel the wide world o'er, instead of reading about it. Class l936 YEAR BOOK MARY NADOLSKI Shc's a very tiny mofrscl. Mary, one of our tiniest and busiest girls, has, after four long years, reaped her reward - she is an honor graduate. Her favorite oc- cupations include frequent visits to the local theatre, a little roller skating on-the- Charles, and a little studying now and then. Right now, Mary 'hopes for a job which will help her fulfill her am- bition to become an erlicient secretary. Best Wishes for success. Mary! ESTHER NELSON Joy she is, through and through. Bessie is one of those per- sons, few and' far between, who really enjoys doing homework. With such a favorite occupation, is it any wonder she ejaculates, Oh heck ? Maybe success lies in the wide open spaces for her. GEORGIA V. NEWMAN She is pretty to walk with, and witty to talk with, And pleasant to think on. No kidding , Georgia wants to be successful and is going to the Katherine Gibbs School to learn how. Until she is a recognized success, Georgia will be kept amused by her favorite occupation, dancing. MARION NEWMAN Good nature and good sense must ever join. Lou isn't very different from the rest of us, since her ambition is to be successful. She likes dancing, wants to find a good job, and intends to go to Katherine Gibbs. Will she still be asking, Where's Sally? 1936 MARY R. NOONAN Tlll'l'C' l1u'ls flu' 1H'0HllSf' of I'Cl!'SfI-Ill worth. Mary, whose favorite oc- cupation is reading, hopes to be a stenographer. Why, I d'on't know, but she says her destination is running an or- phan asylum with Claire Mc- Nally. Can she be kidding us? JAMES O'CONNELL, 3rd He was not merely a chip of the old lmloclf, but the olfl lzloclf itself. Cheese likes to idle away the hours at his piano which may, according to his am- bition, lead him to greater heights of success, because he plans to succeed the famous piano playing orches- tra leader, Eddie Duchin. lt's something to strive for, Jim, we hope you succeed. EUNICE M. OGDFIN She smiles and smiles and will not sigh. The young lady trying in vain to suppress her giggles is Eunice. Eunice is one of our athletic members. She likes all sports, especially canoeing. Often one may see her paddling up the Charles. Her future is undecided, but we know she will be success- ful. JOHN PASIONEK He doth lzold things in n quiet way. .Johnnie is another of those quiet, reserved fellows around the school, but elsewhere his quietness is forgotten. He takes delight in riding around lespecially in Riverdalel. Is getting married his am- bition? Page Ninctccu I 6 3 6' DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Terccntenary MAE E. PAULSEN A pout, und fl dimplr'-'zvlmf possibilities. Mae, who likes to say Oh my, has a passion for swim- ming. She is headed for nurs- ing and with such a disposi- tion she is ideally suited for this profession. She plans to enter the New England Bap- tist Hospital in the fall. May your road to an R.

PEAK Il'ilh smiling r'lic'r'l:s and HIFI' bright rycs I uni the wry pink of cour- trsyf' Phil is always ready for a good jokeg tell him a good one and his fine blue eyes actually scintillate. His wavy red hair is the object of everyone's envy. The subjects that he enjoys most in school are those discussed at the lunch table! RUTH E. PERRY lf Indies be but young and fair, they have 0 gift to lfnou' fit. Perrie's favorite expression is one of enthusiastic affir- mation Y-E-Si This could well be the comment one makes after dancing with her. Her activities as an artist and actress so far. certainly prove that she will be somebody and do some- thing, someday. SALVATORE PERRY He said, Or right, or wrong, what ruins into his head. Life is just a bowl of cherries to Perry, so it seems, which is as it should be. The cherries themselves he enjoys, while he disregards the pits. Most of his spare time is spent in Dedham square. Is the reason C?i worth the time, or not? Page Twenty 41 153' '91 HELEN M. PETERSON Laugh at your friends and if your friends are sore, So much the better, you may laugh thc fmorcf' Pete, who has made many friends through her carefree and jolly disposition, hopes to become a governess after graduation. When Pete ac- quires her fortune, she de- sires to travel to the distant realms of Europe, where she may continue living a happy, prosperous life. MARIE J. QUINLAN Thus happiness depends, as 'nature shows, Lrss on exterior things than most suppose. Oh Gee, here is Rie again, bike riding to gather flowers for her shop in the square. We hope this is the fulhllment of her ambition to obtain a steady position in the business world. It would certainly be making business a pleasu1'e. MARY E. QUINN And never a word said she. Mary's favorite occupation concerns food, which appeals very much to all of us. She hopes to go to Simmons Col- lege to learn how to be a dietitian. This suggests that Mary's home would be a de- lightful place in which to spend an afternoon. RICHARD B. REDMAYNE I dare do all that doth be- come a man. Since Dick is always talk- ing on the telephone he naturally replies to every- thing, I gotta hang up, now. If he keeps this up, what will happen to his am- bition-bachelorhood? To the United States School of Deisel Engineering we may see Dick motor-cycling. Good luck, Dick, you'l1 need it. D. GRATON REED My only books are 'W0lII6'll,S looks, And j'olly's all they taught ,rl ll!! . Take it easy, might well be applied to Graton's favor- ite occupation, keeping bees. In Graton we have a future doctor. We shall find him at Wisconsin University study- ing the fundamentals for an M. D. He will certainly be a credit to his old alma mater. ALFRED J. REID Laugh and the world laughs with you. Al lSpeedJ Reid has often entertained his classmates with his wit. He is very fond of swimming and skating. He hopes to get his start in some big business organization and work his way up the ladder of fame and fortune. KENNETH A. RICHARDSON If you want learning, you must work for it. Here comes the Marquis otherwise known as our lead- ing tenor. Kenneth's musical genius will get him far in the world of concert and opera, but we hope that when a famous star mounts the stage, Kenny won't say, Ain't she a pip! KATHLEEN M. RICKABY A fair exterior is a silent 'recommendationf' Ricky is one of our out- standing girl athletes. She has a penchant for outdoor life and has taken active part in girls' basketball, hockey, and track. Her only ambition is to get a job and have all the nice things that money will buy. We don't blame you, Ricky, and here's to your good fortune in the future. Class 1936 YEAR BOOK l!lJ6 ELIZABETH ROBERTSON The grave that won who saw. Betty, our best looking and most popular girl, agrees that dancing comes first, last, and always. To help fulfill he. ambition she is going to the Massachusetts School of Art. The artistry so evident in Betty's dress, coiffure, and general appearance, ought to give her a good boost in this field. KATHRYN J. RILEY Ready in heart, ready 'in hand. We, as a class, agree that Kay is the most ambitious, and most ieliable. Her favor- ite sports include tennis and hockey and she hopes that her training at the Faulkner Hospital will not interfere with her outdoor activities. MARGARET M. ROBERTSON A rare compound of frolic- and jun. Scotty is very modest when talking about herself, so we haven't discovered much except that her am- bition is to be an aviatrix. Although she claims her des- tination is nowhere in par- ticular, she ought to land somewhere. MARY ROCKWELL Honest labor bears a lovely face. If she is a private secre- tary, enjoys reading and rid- ing, if she answers, Oh, you know, -well, who else would it be, but Mary? Page Twenty-one 1636 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Tcrcentenary DOROTHY ROSE My heart is happy in itself. Dodo is always Flashing her cheerful smile and declaring, O, right! She has a love for traveling, but her destin- ation is as yet unknown. Who knows? Dodo might be one of our future traveling sales- ladies! NANCY ROWAN They that love mirlh, lel them heartily flrinlf, 'Tis fhe only receipt fo make sorrow sink. Wherever laughter heard there you may 'find Nancy. As for her ambition, we quote, To be or not to be -that is the question! Sometimes in the future Nancy hopes to travel abroad. With her good na- ture and personality, she is surely headed for success. FRANK S. RUDD Af any sport he beats thee. Frank, one of our most athletic members, has decided to put aside all his training and practice in football, baseball, basketball, and track, in order to go to law school. Who knows but that Frank may be district attor- ney of this h'yar state-we hope so, Frank. MARGARET C. RUEL She shall have music where- ever she goes. Because Peggy's one ambi- tion is to be a singer, it looks as though we have a future Connie Boswell or Ruth Ett- ing in the class of '36. She likes dancing, a true charac- teristic of the singer. Peggy told me her destination was the National Broadcasting Company, so I imagine when she sees Radio City, she'll say lsn't it adorable! Page Twenty-two 5' AINA S. SANDBORG The best of life is COHU6l'SC1l'10'l1.,' Teh, Tch, where's my secretary? Sandy will pro- bably hear this said many times because her ambition is to become someone's private secretary. Aina likes danc- ing, reading, and cooking. But ah! Who knows? This last may lead her along an- other road in life. PALMA G. SCAMPOLI Be good, sweet maid, and let who will be clever. This dark little miss is an- other favorite at school. Scampy hopes to be a nurse, but as yet doesn't know where she will receive her training. Good luck to you! v1RGiN1A B. SCHMALZ Silence gives grace to a woman. Four years of being taught have made Ginnie decide to be on the other side. So she is planning to go to nor- mal school and learn the art of instructing youngsters in their lessons. Wherever you go, you'll see Ginnie driv- ing her V-8, her favorite oc- cupation. EVA M. SCHOENER Let women spin, not preach. Eve evidently is getting a kick out of life, as her ambition states such a pro- position. She likes dancing and reading and we hope life will have much of both in store for her. , FRANK H. SCOTT What should a man do but be merry. Buster seems to have one favorite occupation - to sleepg but, after all, who can blame him? He is one of the most prominent members of the Red Lantern Club , and here is the real inside .story of his ambition. Buster IS go- ing' to be a successful busi- ness man, a great manufac- turer-and what, do you think? Alas!-Red Lanterns. JOSEPH L. SCULLY As proper a man as one shall see in a SllIIIHI6t',S day. Another prominent law- yer-to-be, in our midst! Well, le't's hope he can be success- ful, too. Joe has a definite aim, as he is heading for Suffolk Law School.

No, it isn't that we don't un- derstand Nanny. We know tnat she loves swimming and wants to go to Europe. We only hope she gets there. But it's just what she is always telling us. ANNA G.

Are you going to swim there, Smitty '? FRANCIS A. SMITH Reading maketh a full man. Francis is a real worker, both at home and in the class- room. He has studied hard for his high ranking in school. He likes reading, es- pecially the classicsg hence the nickname of Shakes- peare. With that challenge he'll probably do many things of literary value in the years to come. CONSTAN CE A. SPADA Life's a jest, and all things show fit. Blow, blow ye winds, blowg yes, Connie's favorite expression is blow, her fav- orite occupation is whistling and singing, and her present ambition is a good laugh. We need people like you, Con- nie, in this day and age! M. JEAN SPIERS Nothing great was ever achieved without enthus- 1asm. If we should ask Red what she would like to do in about four weeks of spare time, she would probably say, Gee, whiz, I guess I'd sit down at the piano and play 'The Rhapsody in Blue' from cover to cov-er tall 29 pagesjf' Of course this is quite an ambition, but we think she would rather drive the Ford or lead a band.

She is going to be a dietitian, a worthy ambition for a young girl, now. Best wishes, Bet- ty. KATHERINE STIRZAKER Wim sowefh good, shall surely reap. When Kitty becomes a secretary, as she hopes to, and we're sure she will, she'll have to get rid of her Gosh, or else she'll have to turn to her favorite occu- pation of dressmaking. But no fear of that, because Kitty's just as smart as she looks. HAROLD J. A. STREET, 3d uiql.Il'Ill'l' is the cfcrnal duty of num.

At recess when Al teams up with his brother Alfonso, things begin to hum. Al cer- tainly isn't loquacious but he must be a pretty good fel- low-witness the laughs he has with the boys.

Violet is one of our gals that greets us all cheerily and is always joyfully re- ceived. Thus we know that she, who is not hard to get along' with, will not find the world hard and cruel. May success stay with you. HERBERT A. SUNDBERG Action is the proof of ability. Sonny is one of our class authorities on big league baseball, as he fol- lows diligently the various sports and their results. Strange to say his ambition is altogether different. Son- ny is going to settle down to the study of Diesel en- gineering. JEAN W. TAYLOR The dauntless spirit of 're- solution. Fine results have been ob- tained from Jean's hobby of collecting information and .placing it in notebooks. Jean does not believe in seeing America first, for het am- bition is to tour Europe. We hope your dream comes true, Jean, and that you get mor-e data for your notebooks. ELFRIEDA G. TIEDE For nothing lovelier can be found In woman than to study household good. Al, who lil es to say, Great day in this morning, enjoys cooking ani will fol- low this pastime ny becom- ing' a dietitian. She will long be remembered as on-e of the leading members of the senior play east. Her destination is Arizona. Good luck, Elfrieda! rc X B. AGNES TULLY Content to follow wlzcrc 'wc lt'lI,d.,' Al has a liking for ath- letics, is particularly fond of swimming, and plans to attend Framingham Teach- ers' College next year. If we may judge her by her nitsy performance in our play, she is very certain to be a success. FRANCIS C. TULLY, JR. l'ilIainy and he bc many miles aszmdcrf' Hank is one of the more quiet members of our class. We wonder if this has any connection with his favorite expression, I studder too much. He is a golf en- thusiast and hopes to become a professional. He is still uncertain about his destina- tion, but we hope good for- tune will accompany him wherever he goes. JOSEPH VITELLI Sport that wrinkled care dcrides, And lcmghter holding both his sides. Duke, one of the out- standing members of the fa- mous Log Cabin Boys, en- joys crooning to Brad Cole.

Betty is that famous per- sonage who saved the day in the senior play by learning her ,part in such a very short time. We think it rather strange that she should want to become a detective and also go to China. Mr. Chan had better look to his laurels! EDWARD M. WHITE A boy's will is the 'lU1.71fl,S will. Ned answer-ed, Oh, sure, when we asked if his favor- ite occupation was swim- ming. By the way, his des- tination is California. Any connection with Hollywood, Ned? As Ned hopes to see the world, we Wish him bon voyage. Page Twenty-five 1636 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Tercentenary MILDRED G. WHITE Love to one, friendship to 11, few, goodwill to all. We don't think Milly should have any occasion to say Gee, as she has been on the honor roll for the past year. She has pedagagical tendencies and is headed for B. U. Dancing rates highly with Milly and she is cer- tainly a mistress of the art. Here's to her success! n J. ARTHUR WILSON l'n1 sure l'fl,I'l',S an enemy to life. We couldn't say who cares, Art's favorite expres- sion, when it comes to Art. He hopes to be a sanitary engineer lplumber in our languagej and although he hasn't any definite destina- tion, we suppose he will fol- low in the steps of his father and remain in the vicinity of Dedham. RUTH M. WOOD Come and trip it as you go, On the light fantastic foe. If she's a brunett-e, if she has won many reading con- tests, if she was voted our best girl dancer as well as our most dramatic member, if she plans to become a teacher of terpsichorean art hereabouts, if her favorite expression is Rooty toot -- who else could it be, but Ruth? ELEANOR H. WRIGHT Flash of keen black eyes. Charming dark-eyed Elea- nor, the lady with the false front, likes to play Night and Day on the piano. Our most dignified senior is look- ing forward to success at art school, where we know she will be a credit to her alma mater. Page Twenty-six CHARLOTTE ANNE YABLONSKA Friendship is the wine of life. Sleeping and eating are the favorite occupations of Charl and because of this we think that she probably has occasion to say, Just for a minute, quite often. Dancing also rates highly with Charlotte, after grad- uation she will assume her vocation as a teacher of the dance. We suppose it won't be in the home town, as Charlotte desperately states that her destination is any place away from Dedham. WILLIAM A. ZIEGLER See'st thou u man diligent in business! He shall stand before kings. You thick fool, could not be said of Bill, though he frequently says it to us. Bill's ambition is along the practical line, namely, to get a job as an advertising agent.

Joe, the popular drummer of our orchestra for four years, certainly displayed his musical talent. Here's hoping that he will drum his way to success in some fa- mous orchestra, with pe:- haps a little assistance from Helen. DOROTHY M. SWEENEY Let gentleness thy strong enforcement be. Dot has high hopes of be- coming a nurse but as yet she doesn't know where she is going to train. She has a fondness for swimming and automobiling. MARJORIE CROWLEY She taketh most delight 'in dancing. Marge, whose delight is dancing, plans to become a nurse. However, if you are surprised with a Wahoo, you're sure to find Marge nearby. So be on your guard if you ever find yourself in a hospital and nearly scared to death with strange sounds. RICHARD HUBER Whilst I yet live, let me not live in vain.

BAKER ln the three hundred years of Dedham's history, there have been many illus- trious figures. Fisher Ames, William Avery, Louis Brandeis, and Horace Mann are but a few of the many leaders whom we are proud to count as past citizens of this community. 1 Of these, Horace Mann deserves especially to be honored, as his reforms have had the greatest single influence in the lives of every student in the common schools from 1840 until the present. The results of his remarkable achievements are visible in every classroom of today. To his last graduating class at Antioch College, he said, f'Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanityf' His victory has indeed been great. 1 He was born at Franklin, Massachusetts, in 1796. His family was poor, and yet, as he wrote later, lf my parents had not the means to give me knowledge, they intensified my love for itf' As a boy he aided his father -on the farm and in the evenings braided straw to earn money for books. Vlfhen he was thirteen years old his father died, leaving the family even further impoverished and Horace with even greater responsibilities. ln spite of this he struggled ahead with his education. For ten weeks each year he attended a one-room school at Franklin, a school which, with its poor equipment and untrained teacher, was typical of those his efforts later reformed. Fortunately there was a free library at his disposal, and so great was his zeal for learning that in 1819 he graduated from Brown University with highest honors. After studying at the first law scho-ol in America, located at Litchfield, Connecti- cut, he was admitted to the Massachusetts bar, and chose Dedham to begin his career. He opened a law office here in 1923. For ten years, until the death of his wife caused him to leave the scene of his sorrow, he lived in Dedham, where he won not only success as a lawyer, but also the esteem and confidence of the communityis leading citizens. He was the presidentlof an influential temperance society, he de- livered a Fourth of July oration that earned the praise of John Quincy Adams, and he served as a member of the Dedham School Committee. lt was at Dedham that Mann first realized the great need for improvements in the school system. The Dedham schools at this time were -of a higher standard than the other public schools in the state, and 'yet Mann was not content with this. In his vision a school system reached perfection 'only when it abolished crime, poverty, and all other social evils. Dedham, in 1827, sent Mann to the state legislature. ln 1833 he was elected to the Senate. Then, four years later, he began the work which has earned him the title of the father of the common schoolsf' He was appointed Secretary of the Page Twenty-ning 1 6 3 6 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Tercentenwry Massachusetts Board of Education. This position paid only one-third as much salary as that of a legislator. It meant the end of his legal and political career. But it offered him his opportunity to win a victory for humanity. ln order to realize what a tremendous undertaking Mann's new task was, it is necessary to consider a few evils of the schools of that time. The district system prevailed, whereby a poor section of a town maintained a lower standard of educa- tion than a wealthier section. Schools were poorly equipped and were uncomfor- table. High schools were uncommon, and what few there were offered insufficient courses. Teachers boarded outn, they were untrained in the art of teaching, often being only high school graduates. Text-books were antiquated and were not uniform. Numerous outside influences, especially religious ones, penetrated the classrooms. Disciplinary measures were cruel and harmful. School terms were short, and often boys whose duties on the farm began at an early age were absent one-third of the school year. Such were the more noticeable evils when Horace Mann became Sec- retary of the Board of Education. He realized that his primary task was to arouse public sentiment from its long period of apathy to ardent enthusiasm for educational reforms. To Cousinis apho- rism. f'As is the teacher, so is the school, Mann added, 'SAS is the parent, so are both teacher and schoolf' To arouse public interest he conducted an educational tour throughout the state, lecturing in many towns and cities, pointing out the need for common schools, and suggesting local improvements. His efforts often met with little response. One of his meetings in Dedham has been described as a meagre, spiritless. discouraging affair. In spite of such obstacles he continued, undis- couraged. undismayed, and gradually neared the supreme goal toward which he was working. The ideal of democracy was apparent in all his reforms. Private schools he considered treason to the American principles, and he urged that they be supplanted by tax-supported public schools. Schools were often controlled by religious groups, he believed they should be non-sectarian, and after much opposition he obtained the passage of a law forbidding religious discussions in the classrooms. He main- tained that no one should be barred from public schools because of sex or color, and later. when he became the first president of Antioch College, he opened its doors to women and negroes. The courage of such a step, a decade before the abolition of slavery and nearly a century before woman's suffrage, was the courage that he showed throughout his whole career. The closing years of his life, spent away from his friends and his home, proved that his educational theories were essentially practical. These few years he spent in Ohio. as president of Antioch College. Here, as I have mentioned, there was no discrimination against race or sex, and here many other successful innovations were made. Students and faculty maintained a family-like relation, electives were first introduced into higher educati-on, pupils were given a voice in college government, and entrance requirements were based on character as well as ability. Yet all was not easy for Mann. The college was in debt, the work taxed his every energy, he was attacked by religious groups, and finally his health failed him. Page Thirty Class 1936 YEAR BOOK 1 9 3 6 On August 2, 1859, after having advised many students concerning their future lives, he died, his work completed, his goal attained. Seventy-seven years have elapsed since Horace lVIann's death. These years have brought greater strides forward than he ever dreamed possible. There are now in this country hundreds of normal schools and teachers' colleges, and dozens of edu- cational publications. The school systems of nearly every state are centralized. Higher education is available to every one who earnestly seeks it. Schools have innumerable facilities for the comfort and the progress of students, and students may now study subjects never known a century ago. These-and all other examples of recent progress-can be traced to the leadership of one who devoted his entire time and energy toward such a goal. Our present day educational system is far be- yond his highest aspirations. It stands as a lasting monument to his life. Horace Mann started a great work. Let us finish it. In a few years we shall be active citizens of this nation. May we set ourselves ideals as high as his. May we, like him, be ashamed to die until we have won some victory for humanity. H0110 1' Ersfztv he Clzrlllefzge 0f the P1151 SUSAN IRv1Nc In the early spring of this, Dedhanfs tercentenary year. I imagined that the trees burst forth in special eagerness to deck their bleak forms with graceful robes of the richest abundance. As they nodded their heads together, they whispered of dim memories of things which took place long ago-of dusty post-riders galloping over wilderness trails, of clumsy stage coaches lumbering along narrow cartways. And then they looked with wonder at huge man-made birds soaring across the sky, at sleek automobiles speeding over great highways that stretch beyond the horizon. Many of the trees which bend lovingly over our town have watched generation after generation of men pass by, but probably none save the Avery oak can remember the land before it was touched by the foot of a white man. That patriach could tell of the first settlers, a little group of eager-eyed men and women who came up the Charles cs er three hundred years ago and landed where now the Ames Street bridge spans the river. Here, surrounded by low hills and convenient waterways. dense woods and green meadows were waiting untouched. Spring must have been laughing over the valley when they came, but they fully realized the hardships which winter would bring, and never a one turned back. By the time icy gales were screaming through the bare branches, a cluster of crude cottages, huddled together as if for warmth, had been erected not far from the river bank. The Avery oak was young then. After three hundred years, it must but dimly remember the suffering from cold, hunger, and sick- ness in the little settlement, almost entirely cut off from outside help. Wolves, which Page Thirty-one I 6 3 6 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOQL Tercentenary then prowled stealthily around the new homes, are now unheard of here, and hostile indians, who carrie from their camp near Wigwam pond to spy upon the white intru- ders. have long since disappeared. ln the first few years many, succumbing to the incessant toil. the worry and privation. were laid away in the quiet peace of the bury- ing ground. But their places were taken by others, who came in ever greater num- bers, eager to continue the struggle. and undaunted by knowledge of the dangers they faced. Vifith steady purpose and undiminished enthusiasm, they procured a charter and courageously persevered in the development of their new town. The trees watched as the settlement steadily grew. The Avery oak may have heard all the varied sounds which accompanied the construction of the Fairbanks house: it may even have caught glimpses of it, as it stood new. straight-lined, and shining in the sun, before the long years had clothed it in mellow dignity. It was rome time before frame houses, low walls and high-pitched roofs, such as this. began to give way to the more spacious Colonials with their stately charm. The trees near Dedham Square could tell many wonderful stories of progress and change. Some of them may be able to recall those eventful days of the Revolu- tionary War, when French and American troops were constantly passing through the little town. Beneath their branches. they may well have seen Lafayette, or, on one memorable night, even the great Washington, himself. Perhaps they can remem- ber the first stores which sprang up along the unpaved road, or the first post office, established in Jeremiah Shuttlewortlfs house. which stood on the site now occupied by the Dedham Historical Society. Other sections of the town grew just as rapidly as this. Even now there may be trees not far from busy East Dedham Square which actually saw the old dam and mill which were completed about 1641 by John Elderkin from the plans of Abraham Shaw. Later on, Elderkinis place was taken by Nathaniel Wfhiting, in whose family the mill remained for many years. It has long since served its purpose and dis- appeared. But although men no longer journey along that cartway, bringing their corn to be ground, there are still people who walk to their respective churches on Sunday morning. just as years ag-o their predecessors wended their way to the single house of worship in the town. A meeting-house, almost the first acquirement for any sober, respectable community, was built as early as 1638. ln those times, the trees must often have heard the insistent beating of the drum which called all good people to assemble. As the town expanded, new churches were built, and now, from every section of Dedham, their spires rise into the sky. This growth has been paralleled by the development of our schools. Any one of these more modern structures would hold many times over the rude, brown building erected on the meeting-house common for the first school to be maintained by public taxation in America. Here the pupils were taught whatever the master could offer, chiefly reading, writing, and arithmetic, but in spelling, at that time, each one fol- lowed the dictates of his own fancy. Through the long hours -of sunshine, of rain, of wind. of snow, in a little turret at one end of the school. a sentinel kept constant watch. Page Thirty-two Class 1936 YEAR BOOK 1 9 3 6 Thus, as we gaze backward, we see that the Dedham of today has a rich history behind it, looking forward, can we confidently predict as rich a future? We should like to believe that things to come will far exceed our possible present plans and hopes. Already in many ways our growth from those early beginnings would amaze those staunch pioneers. The dreams with which they came very likely never even approached what has actually been achieved. Probably most saw in imagination green fields and hedges and a quiet, gray hamlet transplanted to this wild, new land from the England they had left. However, they hoped for more than that, otherwise they would never have left the settled comfort and safety of their homes to start over again in a raw wilderness. The village was first called Contentment-a name re- flecting their goal. These settlers wanted freedom to do as they thought right. greater scope for ambition, and opportunities for advancement, not so much for themselves as for their children. Their ideal was far beyond anything they could attain in a lifetime, they gave their lives to the future. ln the conviction that their work would be as the corner-stone of a building from which all the rest rises, their own contentment came. Laboring gladly in the common cause, each assuming his full share of responsibility, they Mscrewed their courage to the sticking placef, and heat back with steady resolution fear, homesickness, cruel fatigue. Men from the long-established, highly developed civilization of England, in the new world cleared the land, built the houses, produced all the food, made all the clothing-a self, sufh- tiency and self-reliance which seem impossible for us. And not only did they main- tain themselves--which alone would be an accomplishment worthy of admiration-- but an increasing degree of security, comfort and culture was constantly being achieved. They succeeded in making the path of their descendants far easier, but they truly realized that happiness comes from striving. and attaining a purpose, and it was never part of their dream that, without any effort of our own, we should rest idly on what they did. They expected others to keep baiilding always higher and better on the corner-stone which had been laid. Successors have followed the ex- ample, and so from its humble beginning has risen the Dedham of today. As years passed, the necessity for hardship and sacrifice became less, but every generation produced something of worth or beauty for those who followed. With the steadfastness of their forefathers they placed stone upon stone. Perhaps the ulti- mate goal was not always consciously before them, but they were responsible for themselves, they provided for the future to the best of their ability, they took pride in the improvement of their surroundings, and, by never deviating into paths of in- rlolence, dependence, and surrender, they steadily progressed towards the fulfillment of whatever dreams had been dreamed, however visionary. They planted the lofty clms which we now enjoy, they built the neat cottages and the dignified mansions which are symbols of the thoroughness, rectitude, and reliability of a past age. That same sense of responsibility has stood behind the construction of great schools and quiet churches, a mill better suited to modern needs, the establishment of the His- torical Society, the Public Library, the Social Service Board, the Emergency Nurs- Pdge Thirty-three 1 6 3 6 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Tercentenary ing Association, the Open Forum, and the Community House-all enterprises mak- ing for our civic progress. The time has come for us, the tercentenary class of this high school, to make our contribution to the community in which we live. Like every other generation, we have a place to fill. Since the founders laid the corner-stone, the building has risen far, it is now waiting for our rivets and girders, which must be strong and firm en-ough to encourage further effort and to support unwaveringly the work of pos- terity. The first settlers and those who followed them may have worked slowly, but their progress was sure, and they left something positive on which each succeeding generation could build, setting an example of self-reliance, courage, and persever- ance in a common aim. Those of the past have realized that nothing worth wlrile can be achieved without work and determination, and by patient, unflagging zeal they progressed. We of the present, with so many more varied interests and occu- pations, must be able to choose those which will not only make us responsible for ourselves. but a beneht to the community. Among the many temptations and pleas- ures of this restless age, we need the capacity for fixed resolution and unswerving to a better and more beautiful town for effort, if we are to know the satisfaction of son from the wisdom and balance of our in their purpose, and gave them the ability real progress. Now the power is in our hands, the we going to do with them? Shall we, as accomplishment. We need to learn a les- ancestors which made them indormitable to distinguish between useless change and power and the responsibility. What are our ancestors did, contribute in our turn the inheritance of posterity, or shall we lie back in slothful ease, accepting all but making no acknowledgment of the debt, enjoying advantages but making no return, consuming the labor of the past like the unworthy heir of a great fortune carefully conserved by generations before him, who dissipates his patrimony and leaves his children with ruined estates and a bur- den of debts? One hundred years hence the trees will burst forth in spring over a far different Dedham. Let us hope that our generation shall have c-ontributed its full share towards making it a far finer Dedham. And then as the wind rustles the leaves, may the trees whisper as praiseworthy memories of us as now they whisper of our forefathers.

Hamilton FOREWORD This play is based on a legend about three Fairbanks sisters who were forced to sell their pasture land to the town for the construction of the road now familiarly called Willovv Road. Legend has it that these three sisters in their wrath swore never to use the road. So far as we know they did not. But legend goes even fur- ther-ancl hence our play. One of these sisters, upon looking out of the window one evening saw one of her suitors walking on the detested road. Needless to say, when he knocked on her door she would not open to him. He never returned. We have taken great liberties with this legend to make it suit our purpose, and we trust that the Fairbankses tespecially since there are so many of theml will not turn in wrath upon us.

Though easy to fall, it is so hard to rise! Lift up your chin and start on your climb, Steer by the North Star, reach for the skies- All is not hidden in darkness and time. Guided thus far, now guided no more, We ponder awhile on what they said. Though weary, dejected, tired and sore, We'll find it and follow it ,ere it has lied.

We. the Class of 1936, Dedham High School, Dedham, Mass., County of Norfolk, in this our Tercentenary year, do make, publish, and declare this as our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills here- tofore made by us. We give and bequeath, as the smartest class ever to graduate from this school, without exception, all the privileges we have enjoyed, both in the class rooms and assembly, to the Class of 1937, although we know they cannot live up to our brilliant, charming, and energetic selves. To our faculty, we do hereby give ad bequeath one little flower, a forget- me-not, in remembrance of our fine sense of humor, sincere co-operation, and unexcelled brilliancy. Are there no personal bequests to some of your teachers? Oh. yes. we are just coming to them. To our Principal, Mr. Eaton, we leave our heartfelt thanks for his will- ingness to co-operate in all student activities, for his friendly advice, and for his skill in making our school what it is today. We bequeath to Mr. Ryan a new Monopoly Board, with the great honor of appointing a new team to replace the greatest group of Monopoly experts the school will ever knowg namely, Cole, Scott, Klofkorn, O,Connell, Redmayne, Budd, and Bloomberg. lThis team played its best on rainy days, I recall.J To Mr. Polishook, we leave a large white rat, in fond remembrance of Pickles Redmayne. 1 hope you will not forget the coaches of the various teams after their hard work in the past. How could we forget theml To Mr. O'Donnell, our regrets on losing so many seniors, but we leave their ability to next year,s team. To Mr. Heaphy, we donate one ten ton anchor to keep him on the bench, and with the definite assignment, Beat Norwoodf, To Mr. Peterson a suit of armor to protect his clothes in the chemistry ulabw, and the best wishes for another swell track team. To Miss Grant and Mr. Ryan we leave our heartfelt sympathy. Leave our sympathy? Has some one died? Oh nol just our sympathy in the task which confronts them in securing a cast from the Class of 1937 that will in any way compare with the stars of this year's senior play. Do Mr. Keegan, Mr. Bottomley, and Mr. Cowan teach at this school now? Oli, yes. To Mr. Keegan we bequeath a bunch of new jokes to replace the venerable antiques which we have laughed at for the past four years, and to Mr. Bottomley, a new bag to replace his old faithful. ful wonder what 'Muzzyi will say about thatflj To Mr. Cowan, we hopefully donate a bottle of hair remover so that he can remove the fuzz, and display his top in its true lustre. tWon't Mr. Heaphy be jealous?J Well, my young friends, pardon the interruption, but 1 think you have forgotten one of the outstanding figures at this institution, your indispen- sable Mr. Kiley.

How could wel We leave him an automatic ventilator, to eliminate his trips down the aisle during assem- blies, and being of a generous disposition we also herewith present Mr. Kiley with a copy of Bobby Jones' latest book, 'eHow to Play Golf. Are there no outstanding pupils in your class whose characteristics could be passed on? There are a great many. We bequeath Cy Brody's athletic ability lo Lyman Avery, Bob Delanceyis unexcelled speed to the undersized Walter Wireng Peg Hayes' collection of red lanterns we give to Bill Welch for distribution among the faculty the coming year, with the special under- standing that he is not to forget Mr. Ryan and Mr. Peltier: and Jean Hem- merdinger's sophisticated air we gladly donate to Alice Eaton. Do any of the boys in the class work after school? There are a few geniuses, namely, Creepy Klofkorn and Bob Uufault. Their soda jerking ability we hand down to Tony Bonito and Joe Doyle. Ruth Woods' singing and dancing ability we pass on to the Higgins Sis- ters. We know the shoes will be well filled. Speaking about dancing, let us give Grafton Beedis ball room dancing ability to Bill Valencia. I hope you have not forgotten an old pal of mine, Brad Cole? How could we forget Brad, the Romeo of the class? His tremendous power over the weaker sex goes to that tremendous specimen of American youth, none other than Albert Obuchon. I have been very patient, but I must confess your bequests interest me greatly. Wiser, far wiser on the whole, than 1 should have anticipated from this younger generation. t'Sees picture on tabled May I inquire who this is and if you have forgotten him? Wfhy, that's Frankie Budd, the boy with the school-girl complexion, how they envy him! We bequeath that complexion to Bill Pendergast. You certainly must have other girls in the class who have outstanding characteristics. Indeed, we have! Eleanor 1Vlartin's galloping tongue we leave to her able successor, Helen Schlup. fWhat a pairll Marion Newmaifs gum chewing superiority to Lucy Hammond, and the chalk throwing ability of Peggy fHopeful Horacej Gallagher, descends to Dickie Norwell. Speaking for the Class of 1936, I must say, on the whole. we are proud of our record, yet we must leave Sal Perryis favorite occupation of skip- ping school to that daring pioneer from Westfield Street, John Houston. To Charlie Duckw-orth, we donate the task of taking over the duties of that delicate little chap who is never on time, Joe Vitellig and to Larry McNaught, the communistic and radical manners of my friend, Frank Scott. Angelo Mariana's beggar's voice we gladly give to Jackie Gilbert in order to help him to direct trafiic in the freshman corridor. You seem to ignore the intellectual. Have you no brains in your class? Oh, yes, there is that great genious and master mind, James Hamiltong Page Forty-seven 1636 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Tercentenary 1636. 1936. LAW YER. 1636. but we doubt whether there is a person in the student body of the school who could fill his shoes, and so make no bequest. Hurry. your time is up. You have already been allowed far more than is your due. Youth should be seen and not heard. It is l who should be holding the stage this year. Yes, Spirit of l636 , we realize our time is up, and thank you kindly. We trust that these bequests will all be taken in the right spirit, so we give, devise, and bequeath the Dedham High School, and all the contents thereof, the faculty of this beloved school, and oflice force, the janitor force, to the Class of 1937, and to the said Class of 1937, with the assist- ance of this reverend gentleman, Dedham Tercentenary, we delegate the responsibility of carrying out every provision contained in this document. 1To 19361 Will you please sign here? 1Rises from his seat and joins the gr0up.1 ln conclusion allow me to say to the Class of 1936. their relatives, and friends here assembled. that l have seen the graduation of class after class from this institution, but this group, the pick of young America in Ded- ham, is the finest class ever to represent Dedham High School. It is, therefore, my good fortune to have such a class share my 300th anni- versary by being called The Tercentenary Class of Dedham High School. 1Lawyer is handing 1936 a pen to sign the will while 1636 is talkingj Curtain.

Old witch, l have come for a prophecy. Since yours are so remarkable, l expect the best. WITCH. And your wish? SECOND VISITOR. That you prophesy to me what one of my descendants will do during the years 1932-1936. l am especially concerned about his education dur- ing that time. WITCH. You shall learn from me. Sit there. lP0ints to a chairl Be not frightened at visions, for they will bring you knowledge. FIRST VISITOR. I warn you, Witch, that if you work evil, it will be the worse lor you. SECOND VISITOR. Be calm. She is well known and often consulted concerning the future. Sit down and don't disturb us. WITCH. From this caldron shall come the revelations which you seek. fShe bends over caldron and slowly circles around it three times, repeating in a weird voice? Visions, answer me. Come, bestow your presence upon us. FIRST VISITOR. If she continues that any longer, she will get dizzy and fall into the caldron herselfdnot that she isnit half dizzy already. SECOND VISITOR. Hush. Can't you see that we are about to be visited by a Spirit? 1A form enters the room and reveals itself as a small boy, wearing a brightly colored sweater, hair combed neatly, a few large books under his arm. He stares' about as if frightened.J SECOND VISITOR. What is this that confronts me? WITCH. That is the spirit of a class which will enter into its ninth year of Page If'ifty-eight Class 1936 YEAR BOOK 1 9 3 6 learning, or, as it will then be called, the Freshman Class in Dedham lligh School, in the year of our Lord, 1932. SECOND VISITOR. But why is this spirit here? WITCH. To inform you of the deeds of that class, which are to take place dur- ing the school year of 1932 and 1933. lt is most fortunate that one of your descend- ants is to be a member of this class. SECOND VISITOR. Speak, spirit, for 1 long to hear the voice of one so learned. SPIRIT. tStraightens up in a very businesslike manner and addresses them, no longer frightened but as if he were performing a duty which is very familiar to him.f SPIRIT. Listen then. ln 1932 there shall enter a class, the equal of which will never again be seen: a class which, through four years, will uphold the finest tradi- tions of one of the best high schools, and will contain within itself the descendant in whom you are interested. 1 am the spirit of that class. Believe it or not. FIRST VISITOR. I can believe it. SPIRIT. ln September, 1932, many small, shy youngsters, such as Danner, Con- stantino, Reed, Hunt, Ballentine and Smith, will start on their great, unknown ad- venture at Dedham High School. Much to the amusement of other pupils, the new comers will seek Boom 121 on the third floor, instead of on the first. SECOND VISITOR. I'll wager they will not remain in that state of confusion very long. SPIRIT. Oh no. Bedmayne, Brad Cole, Scully, and Frank Scott will quickly become known as individualists and their reputations will endure throughout the life of the class. ,loe Vitelli's hearty laugh will distinguish him among his fellows and will inspire much mirth and social merriment. The class will uphold the good, old, traditional custom of standing at assembly until the seniors are seated. During this year a miraculous event will occur. Before the very eyes of the assembled multitude Robert Baker, having committed suicide, as Pyramus, will be resurrected from the dead and will arise to give directions for the ringing down of the curtain. lV1r. Peter- son will inform the freshmen in regard to the money-saving advantages of paying athletic dues, but 1 am afraid that not enough pupils will understand the logic of such a weighty business proposition. Enough. The outstanding events in my future career have been told. Your descendant will pass into the sophomore class and 1 shall no longer be responsible for him. tSpirit leaves the room.J FIRST VISITOR. Well, old witch, what is this sophomore class? Come, 1 am eager to learn more. SECOND VISITOR. You will learn in time, but do not be as impatient now as you were doubtful a minute ago. WITCH. Utepeating words and actions over caldronl. Oh vision of the future, vision of knowledge, spirit of the sophomore class, come and teach usl tSecorul spirit enters. He is in the form of a boy, slightly larger than the hrs! spirit. He wears a sweater even brighter than the first. His brightly colored necktie is worn outside the sweater. He carries one small book and seems very self-confident, having the air of knowing a great deal. His hair is dishevelleahl FIRST VISITOR. And if it is all one class, why the second spirit? Page Fifty-nine 1 5' 3 6 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Tercentenary WITCH. Because the spirit of the class will change. ln September, 1933, the upper classmen will see a most intelligent sophomore class, one which will assure those poor children of the class below them that number 310 is just another name for Boom B, in the basement and that lVlr. Heaphy really doesnit care whether or not the pupils take gym. SECOND VISITOR. lAlldl'6SSl:llg S1liI'l.l.l Am 1 to believe that my descendant will be one of that group which will do home work and answer questions merely to help out the teacher? SPIRIT. Yes. He is destined to be one of that type. Perhaps it will be he who will inform Miss Grant that Benjamin Franklin died with his boots on. FIRST VISITOR. Such events cannot take place over a period of two years with- out a leader. SPIRIT. The president of the class will be James O'COnnell, who will hold this office during the first two years of the high school course. There will be a Inost in- teresting sophomore dance at which my young members will conserve their ready supply of silver by meeting their partners on the dance floor and by leaving them there after the dance. Of course, at this early age, none of my small members will think of going to a dance with a partner. Their cash on hand will not permit this. Shortly after the date of the dance there will be an inter-class track meet, which the juniors will win, with a total score of 43 points, while the sophomores, representing me, will secure seven points. tSpirit exit.J SECOND VISITOR. Are these the only events which will happen during the year? WITCH. Those are the important events. Now 1 will reveal to you many in- cidents Of the following year. These should prove to be very interesting to you. tWitch leans over caldrorz, mumbling. She circles the caldron.J WITCH. Enter this room, oh spirit of the Junior Class of 1934- and 1935. Come, foretell for us the events of the future. FIRST VISITOR. 1 will be as dizzy as she, if she keeps up that circling. SECOND VISITOR. Will you be silent? FIRST VISITOR. 1 will when she tells us more. tSpiriL enters. A larger boyg dark sweater, suspenders outside, rw tie, carries four or five bo0ks.l WITCH. Hail Spiritl SECOND VISITOR. Welcome, Spirit. SPIRIT. Vifhy have you summoned me? To learn of my life? SECOND VISITOR. 1 wish to learn of the outstanding events of 1934-1935, which will take place in the Junior Class, in order that 1 may visualize the activities of one of my descendants. SPIRIT. Howell Morris will be elected president and will lead me through my short life and bring it to a successful conclusion. During the school year three of my members, john Backius, Si Brody, and Frank Rudd, will begin to attract attention on the football field. Owing to the depleted condition of the treasury, the class will lake advantage of the offer of the Curtis Publishing Company to share the profits from the sale of magazines by members of the class. On the evening of December Page Sixty Class l936 YEAR BOOK I 9 3 6 7, 1934, the ,lunior Class will give a very successful prom. Un February 22, 1935, the class will present the first Junior Cabaret, which will prove so profitable and so enjoyable that future classes will establish it as an annual affair. ll will he in March of this year that the junior Class will choose the ring which will be adopted as thc class ring. tSpirit exit.J FIRST VISITOR. Why did the spirit leave so suddenly? WITCH. He has told you all that would interest you about his life, and he knows that he must make way for another, more important spirit. lW itch repeats performance over caldronj WITCH. Enter, Spirit of the Class of 1935-1936. FIRST VISITOR. I can well believe that it is your descendant who is one ol these pupils. SECOND VISITOR. Your own descendant would be in good hands if he were to go to such a school. flinter spirit. A tall boy, well dressed, hair neatly combed. wearing glasses. Carries two or three books. Serious expressionj WITCH. Hail, Greater Spirit! VISITORS. Welcome! Welcome! WITCH. You know why you were summoned. oh Spirit. SPIRIT. The history of my future life is not long but it is important. In 1935. Howell Morris will be re-elected president. In this school year. many of my mem- bers will become known for deeds other than those which are more or less scholarly. Kenneth Klofkorn will become known as a very fine soda mixer. Ruth Wood will give dancing lessons during this year and Doris 1VlcCrea will give music lessons, and will play the piano in the orchestra. On January 17, 1936, the Senior Dance will be given. Soon after this, the Senior Prom, which will be successful from the view- point of all Seniors, will take place. The Boston Herald-Traveler will sponsor a spelling contest, in which one of my members, Alice Colmer. will take part. During the trials for this contest one of my brilliant charges will distinguish himself by mis- spelling the word, 'cacrossf' White, Bloomberg, Ballentine. lVlarion Cornell, and Eleanor Wright will attract much attention by their acting in the famous senior play, HA Lucky Break. This play will be the finest school play presented in the audi- torium of the high school. Class Day and Graduation Day will follow soon after that. At graduation the school will lose many fine athletes, among whom will be Robert DeLancey, a track man, who will win a medal for his running ability, Dono- van, a member of the basketball team, and Mariana, of the baseball team. Class Day Graduation and the banquet will end the school career of this class. ln later years my members will look back upon these days through the pages of the Class Book, prepared by Kathryn Riley and her committee. With these last events my life will end. fExit Spirit of Senior Classj SECOND VISITOR. I am well pleased with the future life of my descendant in Dedham High School. Page Sixty-one I 6 3 6 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Terveniwwy XVITCH. Well you might bel I know of no other Class which will have four such happy and profitable years in any school. fExit Witch!

Waronr Aftcr weeks of strenuous rehearsals, the cast of A Lucky Breakw tZelda Searsj presented the senior play, an exceptionally amusing farce, coached by Miss Grant of the English Department, assisted by Mr. Ryan. The plot begins to thicken rapidly when John Bruce, a millionaire, returns to his home town, which is none too prosperous, and finds his old friend Mrs. Mullet, with her daughter, Nora, running a hotel. As John wants to enlarge and popularize the town by building a pottery on Strawberry Hill, the only logical location, he tries to buy this property from Abner Ketcham, who, on the other hand, has some elaborate plans to turn this land into an ideal burying ground. How John finally won Straw- berry Hill, and Nora, as well, kept the amused audience highly entertained. Everyone sympathized with the hard-working Mrs. Mullet, convincingly played hy Elfrieda Tiede. and Margaret Gallagher made a charming Nora. The part of John Bruce, a wealthy business man, harassed by financial and romantic problems, was very successfully played by Edward White. Agnes Tully, with a lorgnette and accent, was very good as the snobbish Mrs. Barrett, mother of pretty Claudia, satisfactorily played by Ruth Perry. Robert DeLancey as Tommy Lansing, the poor artist in love with Claudia, was also noteworthy. Other guests at the hotel included Leonard Ballentine, as the crabby old Abner Ketcham, and George Bloomberg, as his nephew Benny, a trombonist and super- salesman. The obnoxious Bella was played by Eleanor Wright, and Irene Mears and Elizabeth Wessell were the two old maids, who long to do Grecian dances with their long-suffering French dancing teachers, Frances Chamberlain and Joseph Constantino. Thomas Hannon was very distinguished-looking as the kindly old secretary of John. The various servants in the play, far from being unimportant, contribute much of the humor. The best at this was undoubtedly Marion Cornell, as Elmine Ludine Smith, the general maid of the hotel, who quite captivated the audience with her re- marks and missing tooth. Frank Scott as the weary expressman, Graton Reed as the chauffeur, and Sidney Brody as the Japanese valet, added their bits. In addition to this large cast, there were many amusing Hextrasm who added at- mosphere to the play. Although the cast and coaches relaxed considerably after the night of the play, everyone missed the rehearsals tremendously, as we all had a great deal of fun put- ting on 'LA Lucky Breakf, Page Sixty-five I ff ff DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Tvl'v1'11ff'f1cu'y Siudwz I Hff1'2v1'1'1'c5 ALICIC AlXIiRlVlAlNe dDivision Manager of Senior Play Program 35: Cheer Leader.
