In case you don't know it Jane's destination is heaven. where we can picture her, sitting on a cloud, playing swing music to the angels on her saxophone. Her ambition is to be a private secretary -to Saint Peter, perhaps? If she continues to be as peppy and full of fun as we've known her to be, she can't help making good. WILLIAM JOHN ANDERSON, JR. 'Tis not what man does which l'.l'CIlfS him, but what mail would do. Jackie's outside activities keep him so busy that he is seldom seen about after school hours. Well-known among the boys for his abil- ity as bicycle mechanic, he enjoys all spo1'ts, particularly swimming. Since his destina- tion is anywhere, he will surely reach it. To all this Jackie would probably say nonchalantly, So what? ROSE ELIZABETH AUSTIN A sweet, attractive kind of face. Ding bust it, as she would say, we can't imagine Rose roller-skating on the- sidewalks of New York, but we may yet see her canoeing up the Hudson. Fifi, or Baby Austin , as she is commonly known, aspires to be a secretary to some New York business man. See you on Wall Street, Rose. PRISCILLA BAILEY We are the music 'HlCllC6l'S,' we are the clreamers of dreams. If Prissy should fall off a horse she would probably say, Oh goodness -but if she is able to ride as well as she plays a violin, she should be an expert eques- trienne. Her ambition is to study dietetics at Framing- ham, but her destination is Honolulu, where she'll prob- ably be frying pineapple for the natives. V EDWARD ANDREW BEC TKE R, JR. L'lVlzi1'l1 way shrill I fly! One of these days Ed may be found as an otlicer in the navy, for right now he's rather active in Sea Scouting. Ed doesn't talk much about himself, so we can't give you any of the details, but we hear he's a conscientious worker and a friend who Wears well. FREDERICK JOSEPH BEC KE R He is wise who th iulcs much, speaks little, and writes less. This gallant Spanish Cava- lier, whose destination, in his own words, is Quien sabe? enjoys walking to .... 7 We wonder whether he used his favoiite expression, So whatl , after that well-known Bank Night when he walked out. Appropriately enough, Canary Eyebrow's ambition is to succeed in winning 3300. CATHERINE MARY BEDARD Some succeed by what they lfuozv, some by what they do, and Cl few by wlzut they ure. If someday you should wake up in a hospital and hear ycur nurse singing the latest song and fervently ex- claiming, Yeah Maul , she will probably be none other than your former classmate, Kay Bedard. Her cheerful, geneious, and kind-hearted disposition will enable her to succeed. DAVID MOORE BEDELL Did nothing in particular and did it rcry well. After D graduates from Dartmouth, he aims to be- come vice-president of a bank, where he will be at lei- sure to eat, drive, swim, and dance. Our reaction to this plan is to say, as he often does, You've got something there, kid. Good natured D will be remembered for his witty remarks and his class spirit. Page Twffe' DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL KATE ALICE BELK With wit 'lvcll-iiatnrefl, null with hooks 'well bred. Kit may have 'talmost popped on various occasions, but we weren't at all sur- prised when she told us that her favorite occupation is acting and that she plans to attend a college of dramaties. Nor were we a whit bowled over when she added that she hopes to play Evangeline, for wasn't she voted our most ambitious girl? In fact, when you come to know Kit you're not much surprised at any- thing she says or does. ELIZABETH BENNETT The dfumtless spirit of resolution. After graduating from Bos- ton University, Betty plans to teach school. At present, she uses her spare time de- veloping pictures and riding: here and there tmostly there? in her Ford. We wonder whether her favorite expres- sion, Oh dear, will be di- rected toward her pupils or the one and only. ROBERT LEONARD BENSON If we do well here, 'we shall do well there. A model T Ford brings to mind this modern mechanic, for Airbrakes is identined with engines and inventions of all kinds. Benny's ambi- tion is to die laughing. Let's hope it won't be fulfilled too soon. PHYLLIS EDWINA BLAKE Born for success she seems, with grace to will and ll heart to hold. Phyllis may get all A's on her report card, but she knows enough not to spell a big word like procrastinating with all a's because other than the fact that it's her fa- vorite occupation, she's the champion speller among the seniors. Phyllis wants to bc somebody and as one lap in the journey hopes to go to college. Hello, picklepussf' :--he says, as if trying to make us believe that she's an old grouch, when we know all the time she's really a rare person to know. STANLEY HAROLD BLUMENTHAL A well-bred, gentlcmcmly man. We are waiting to hear Stan say Great day! when he passes his first book-re- port, which won't be soon if he keeps on relaxing-his favorite occupation. Resi- dents of Dedham will always remember him as the great fixe1'-upper in the senior play. If vou see him years f1'om now, a successful Hol- lywood star, he will probably greet you with, Howdy, Hezzie! YVONNE TERESA BOLDUC A rare conipozuzcl of fun and frolic. Why, Daddy! Yvonne exclaimed when she discov- ered that she was to have the part of the vivacious teacher in the senior play, for dancing' is her favorite occupation. Frenchy's des- tination is Holland and France-honeymoon trip, or the result of her fulfilled am- bition, to be an A-1 book- keeper? MICHAEL JERRY BONGO Still waters run deep. Bingo Bongo's fame as a storekeeper spread after the reading of his essay in assembly. We're afraid that if he continues his favorite occupation, sitting' in a soft chair, he'1l never attain his ambition to be a manager. Perhaps when he says, If I had a million dollars, he refers in some way to his destination, Hollywood. CORINA H. BRACONI With malice toward none, with charity for all. We hope that when Corina gets into the business world she won't say, Oh keep quiet! to her bossg for if she does, she won't see Eu- rope, in which case she can always fall back on skating, and go via the Olympics-or maybe she'll just go a' may- ing. i937 YEAR BOOK Page Thirteen EDMOND E. BROWN The wisest man the world e'er saw, He dearly loved the lasses, O!!! Ed claims that his des- tination is the Y.M.C.A., but during his high school days it seemed to have really been Boston, and the movies. His gymnastic s k i l 1 indicates that he will be successful as a physical education instruc- tor. Yen Ho! tEd's Chinese for And how D. FREDA MARJORIE BRUNTON Four be the things I could well do without: Love, curiosity, freckles, and doubt. You said it! says Fritz, when asked if her destination is really Wellesley College. Her friendly, vivacious dis- position is very appropriate for her ambition to be a buy- er. In her spare time you will find Freda skating, read- ing, keeping various Dedham boys interested, and studying for college boards. IVY LOUISE BURDELL She was just the quiet kind whose natures never vary. Where do you work, Ivy? In the telephone company. Let's hope Blon- die doesn't use her favorite expression, Holy Cow, when she realizes her ambi- tion to be an operator in the New England Telephone Company. In her spare time, we'll find her dancing or roller-skating. FRANCES CANNATA This little girl is not so tall, But oh, how she plays bas- ketballlu To use Fran's own words, You know what, she wants to be a physical education teacher! Her destination is California, where she will keep the populace guessing which is Kay Francis any- way. Fran likes to dance and type-and, may we say, she is the type. 9, fi - ...ig mg., W l.QNw,.,.,4 . k-.QQ ANNE E. CARLSON Sl1e's u :wry tiny HIfII'St'l.,, A n n e ' s destination is really where her heart is- tand we suggest Clark Ga- blej. Shrimp likes to dance, swim, golf, and work. Added to these, reading and keeping on the watch for that high-salaried position which it is her ambition to hold, should keep her oc- cupied. ANTHONY R. CARPINO D0ll,l cross the bridge till you come to it ls a proverb old and of ex- eelleut wit. We don't mean to keep carping about things, but have you heard that Carp Carpino has an ambition? He wants to be an aviator. Skating is his favorite occu- pation. What does he do summers? For crying out loud, Carp would answer, W'hat do you think? RUTH E. CASEY A still small voice. Yeh man, Ruth told us when we found her wool- gathering, which seems to be an appropriate occupation since her destination is Uto- pia. We don't quite see the connection between Utopia and her ambition to be a sec- retary, but our guess is that Ruth's smile will Hx it all up. ERIC FREDERICK CAVE He is well paid that is well satisfied. Another one of our strong, silent men wil not consent to tell us anything about him- self. After a good deal of investigation we did find out that he likes to skate, and we're quite sure that he also enjoys sleeping. P090 F01U'ff'f'71' DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL GEORGE FRANCIS CLOSE An ounce of wif is ll'UI'f1l rr pound of Sorrow. George makes the third in a row who is reluctant to tell us about himself-we're sus- picious of some sort of con- s p i ra c y. We've inquired about him from various sources, nevertheless, and they say that he likes to go automobile riding and of- ten says to people he meets, Is that you? JACQUELINE EDITH COLBURN Su-zzny, zoiffy, d6'lIOlllll-l'-- and get Illliflllll ll sporting o1'r. Although Jackie is a new- comer to D. H. S., she has en- tered wholeheaitedly into all our class activities. She says that her ambition is to play Camille in Hollywood -to which we answer with her favorite expression, What the how, for we're perfectly satisfied with her Playshop and senior play perform- ances. MARY CHRISTINA COLLINS A friendly smile, o friend- ly 'woyf' Do you ever combine two of your favorite activities, swimming and ice-skating, Chris? Oh, no, nothing like that, she answers hastily. We are assured, however, that although her destina- tion is unknown she does want to be a typist and that dancing is her most favored occupation. May your fingers dance on the keys, Chris! ANTOINETTE COLUMBO If'orfnne truly helps those who are of good judgment. Since Antoinette's favorite occupation is hiking, she will probably arrive at her des- tination, Boston. When she becomes a successful hair- dresser, she may remark, Gosh-gee! We won't be surprised, because we knew it all the time. 1 ' x Q4 k JAMES CURRIE Be silenf and safe-sz'Ie11ee never befrnys you. Although Jim's destination is the Readville Car Shops, we hope to hear of him in a few years, as Bobby Jones's successor. In the meantime he is getting pointers on his golf by being a caddy, and getting custo- mers by his cheerful, How- why-youl V FRANK A. DAHLSTROM Men of few words are the best men. Swede says that his des- tination is as far as my nickel will take me, but it will probably be as far as his athletic ability will take him, a long, long way. He doesn't loaf on the diamond, although he insists that that is his favorite occupation. Anyway, the fans all use Frank's o w n expression when he scores, Oh Boy! ALICE ANN DAVIS A merry heart maketh a cheerful l'0llllfCllllHC6.,, Alice can't decide whether she wants to be a stenog- rapher or a hairdresser, but her personality is so easy to get along with that she should succeed at either. Be- tween times she'll be chew- ing both gum and the rag with her pal, Lucy Ham- mond. VIRGINIA FRANCES DAY 'Tis better to be small and shine than to be big and east a shadow. Her cleverness and smart clothes make Bunny seem wonderful enough to have been pulled out of a magi- cian's hat. She is going to make her burrow at Whea- ton College, but her talents and friendliness won't be buried there. Summers will find her sailing, sailing over the bounding main, espec- ially in Provincetown. She's looking for an ambition.

What a coot you turned out to be ftalking to her- self again?J, says Del to everyone, particularly to the other two members of that Schkeedel trio. Her favorite resort, summer or winter, is Keelan's house. The rest 01' the time is spent eating and drawing those clever sketches and stick figures. Here's hoping you get that studio apartment with Pat on Primus Court! ELSIE SHIRLEY DIETZE A quiet e.rferi0r conceals muc'l1. Elsie likes to drive, so we expect to see her touring the scenic spots of the world with easels, brushes, and canvases piled in the back of her car. Are you telling I? We know that the life of an artist as clever as El- sie won't have to be led in a garret. LOUISE JEAN DOUGHERTY A real lady 'makes no noise. Straight from the pages of Vogue came Louise to be voted our best-dressed girl and Bless us, but she can dance well and is headed for a successful career in the business world. As if that weren't enough, she Wants to become a fancy ice-skater. GEORGE JOSEPH DOWNS He who begins and does not finish loses his labor. Listen, Gig, we think that you should be told now that over in Venice it isn't, Hi, Toots! but, O, Sole Mio! We hope George will write a book of advice to young bookkeepers when he finds out how one can carry on a favorite occupation of eating and sleeping along with the ambition of being a bookkeeper. it'- w-. 'KYQN 1 is JESSIE DOYLE A merry liwlrl goes all flu' way. Kelly, one of our little home bodies, wants to be an air hostess and travel around the world. This will surely increase the passenger lists of the American Airways. Until that happy day, Kel- ly will spend her time in hiking and heekling Mr. Ry- an, the things she likes best to do. JOSEPH THOMAS DOYLE A great uurecognizecl capacity. Hyahl was that you we saw skipping school the oth- er day, Ducky ? It seems to be your favorite occupation -just preparation for the time when you set out to see unknown parts of the world. If you make use of that s a m e good-natured smile that won you friends in Dedham High, you should travel far. AGNES R. DUBUC Rather l1lllCl-I'!lfll.6'I' shy, But a twinkle in lzer eye. Everyone will use Agnes's expression, Oh, how lovely, when they learn that she is going to Europe, her desti- nation, to study drawing and music. She has already proved her ability in the for- mer by the posters she's made for M1'. Corsini, and in the latter with her piano-playing for Miss To- bin's gym classes about Prom time. ALICE ADAMS EATON Out of my 'way-I have work to do. If you see a good farm for sale, not particularly ex- pensive, pleeuse put a nick- el down on it as a first pay- ment for Allie. Her ambi- tion is to live on a farm and take fresh air kids. Warn- ing, Alice Adams: don't let your tennis wrist get muscle- bound, Charley-horsed, or Nelly-the-cowed, from pitch- ing hay. But before Alice Adams goes back on the farm, she'll haunt some one of the colleges, until they let her graduate, even if it has to be done with Mir- rors ! Page Sfffem DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL HILDA MAUDE EMBREE Gentle in nzanfner, strong in performaizcef' For crying out loud, Hilda, why don't you make use of your favorite occupa- tion, swimming, to realize your ambition to see the world? We also know that you're a smooth dancer. Hil- da is going to be another contribution from Dedham High to the business world. DOROTHY ELIZABETH FAGERSTEN A daughter of the gods, clivinely tall, and -most cli- rinely fair. Oh heavens! is Dot's favorite remark, but she chiefly sings it, as she's one of the leading soloists in her choir. Although she seems rather quiet, her close friends know her as a very witty and good-natured pal. Here's hoping her eddie-ca- tion will enable her to take notes for a B. U. graduate someday soon. CATHERINE VIRGINIA FAIR Silence is the mother of truth. When Catherine pricks her linger with a needle, she says, Oh, Gee! But that isn't often. Catherine wants to become a dressmaker and work in a dressmaking estab- lishment. All this seems very probable, since her fav- orite occupation is sewing and she spends all her spare time in perfecting this gen- tle art. ELEANOR LORRAINE FAIRBANKS A peace above all earthly clignlties, A still and quiet con- science. We agree with Ellie- What's the use of worry- ing? -when we have a classmate as versatile and reliable as she is. After she has completed her stunt of working in Boston as a bookkeeper, she'll retire to England and continue her favorite occupations of read- ing, dancing, and drawing. lr' RITA KATHERINE FEENEY A sweet quietness envelops her. One never knows, does one? in what strange places one's classmates will unexpectedly turn up. For instance, if you're ever in Tahiti, look for Rita, for she tells us that's her destina- tion. If she does arrive there, she will surely find plenty of time for her fav- orite occupation, swimming. WILLIAM A. FITZHENRY His lines are clit in 'manly 'mold For harfly sports and con- test bold. Winkie insists that he is minus ambition, but we think he must have had his share of it at some time, for he has made the football, bas- ketball, and baseball teams. We also are given to under- stand that if the old plati- tude, Gentlemen prefer blondes, is true, Winkie is, without doubt, a gentleman. THOMAS HOWARD FOGARTY A lion among the ladies. When anyone asks Howie to ride in a rumble seat, he says, Why not? There- fore when he said that he wanted to own his own busi- ness some day, we took the words right out of his mouth. In his spare time he plays Don Juan, much to the de- light of the girls of '37. DAVID JAMES FYFE Hail, fellow, well met. We defy anyone to find anything but compliments about Dave in the '37 slam books. And that's because his friendly greeting, How are yeh? and his winning personality have brought him great popularity. As a chemist he'll reach his desti- nation, a good job, because he knows all the answers. 1 A l937 YEAR BOOK Page Sencnfcffn ROBERT VVILLIAM GALT Some nzen false fo Iinsi- ness. Since Robert's f'avorite oc- cupation is fishing, we won- der why his favorite expres- sion is, O, is ah hungry? Bob wants to be a Diesel expert. May we suggest that people don't usually go to California for the pur- pose of being Diesel experts. But we are confident that his courtesy will take Bob a long way, whatever the play 01' occupation. ELIZABETH ANN GALVIN Good nctfnrc and good sense ninst ever join. Perhaps Betty first decided she wanted to be a lawyer when Mr. Ryan's English classes took up debating. If she really wants to continue her favorite occupation, dancing, we suggest that she introduce the 'tRyan Romp to the movie stars when she goes to California. As one of our class politicians, she refuses to become a yes man, for Ooh no! is her favorite expression. RAYMOND STEVENS GARLICK He doth bold things in rr good way. R. S. G. says, You're crazy! Mebbe so, niebbe so. We expect Raymond will find a lost horizon because he says his destination is unknown. When his fist isn't in a French horn, it's likely to be grasping a fishing rod. His ambition is to own a canoe. Canoe, canoe, Ray? HENRY CHARLES GEORGE A good friend is one's 'nearest 'reIa.tfion. Henry George, known as Heine to those who love him well, may be found in season on the greens and fairways of golf courses, where he likes nothing better than the task of caddying. His real ambition is to work in a store, which ought to enable him to satisfy his secret yearning to go to New York by boat. A lemon is good for seasickness, Heine! ESTHER L. GOODWIN A perfect woinnn, nobly fllllllllflf To wfzrn, fo roniforf, and l'0IlIllIllllIf.U I betcha Barry's only kidding when she says her favorite occupation is rest- ing, for we know her as one of our most athletic girls. Judging from the pace she sets on the gym floor she ought to travel far, wide. and handsomely in the busi- ness world, or any other that she chooses. MABEL LOUISE GOULD A good 'word is an easy obligation. Mabel is not necessarily going to travel far, New York is her Journey's End. Her ambition, to be an ad- vertising manager, should be fulfilled without very much effort on her part, judging by her work on the Mirror. Until then, she spends her time dating, dancing, and de- livering the notices. ANNA FRANCES GREENE The only way to have joy is fo share if. Red says her destination is unknown and that she has no ambitiong but her hair- dressing ability will prob- ably take care of all that. She always brings her ray of sunshine to the school dances, and enjoys herself pu1'suing her favorite occu- pation. ELIZABETH MARGARET GREENE --lzninor, wif, a native ease and grace. Babe is bound for Bos- ton University, where she in- tends to learn the gentle art of teaching, for which her four years as an honor stu- dent in Dedham High have well prepared her. She is al- so a master at the none-too- gentle art of playing base- ball, as anyone in Miss To- bin's classes will tell you. And although she takes her favorite expression from the French, Vous ne dites pas? she can translate Latin like nobody's business. P1199 Eighteen DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL THOMAS EDWARD GUILFOYLE Associate with men of youd judg111cl1t. Say, honest, Salty, is your favorite occupation really sleeping 25 hou1's a day? It seems pretty im- possible to us, but your am- bition to be ping-pong cham- pion of the East Dedham A. C. doesn't, if you are every- where at once during your game. ROBERT GUSTAVSON One may smile and Smile. and be cz l7lIIlllll.,, Wait a minute, have you heard that Gusls ambition is to Hy an airliner? We can just see him strapping safety belts on passengers-after he has learned at flying school how it's all done-and becoming the flying hero of the picture page, so that the male youth of America can indulge in his own fac- orite pastime, reading. HARRY ARTHUR HALL U'lmt shall'-gt man do but be 'meitryf' We want to remind Hair- breadth Harry that the Mir- ror has a dating bureau, so We can see no reason why he shouldn't succeed in having a date, Being a gate-crash- ing ice man, moreover, he ought not to find breaking the ice so hard. Let's hope he doesn't use his favorite expression, Hello, you hill- billy, if' he finally gets his girl. MARY C. HANN By falling we learn to go safely. The lochs and hills of Ire- land will be echoing with Hey, Kissy when Mary reaches her destination. Even if she didn't realize her ambition to be on the honor roll in high school, she can kiss the Blarney Stone and make everything all right. LUCY I. HAMMOND Gentle of speech, benefi- rent of mind. Page the Boston El! Lu is headed for Africa, where she insists she's going to own a private street car line for the sole purpose of satis- fying her love of street car riding. How do you say, What's the fare? in Zulu or Hottentot, oh great white lady? PAUL GILBERT HARRINGTON HHS very knowing. No kidding, I'm serious, our own gigolo is going into the U. S. Navy in July. This rather conflicts with his ambition to be a man of leisure, but perhaps when he becomes an admiral he will have plenty of time to con- linue his present pursuits- golf, swimming, and collect- ing chorus girls. FREDRICK J. HASHAM Little man, what 'rz0w?' ' Fred is such a very busy man that he didn't have time to ill out a questionnaire for us. When he isn't practis- ing barbering at his father's shop, you'll find him prom- trotting or haunting Frank Taylor. SHIRLEY MURIEL HENDERSON A small hatchet fells a great oak? Good goat, Shirl, how- ever could you be so mean as to go around calling Neva Ginger, when you know it's one of her pet hates.

She plans to train for her profession at a med- ic-al center. She hopes to find the time to make her own clothes, too, for sewing is her favorite occupation. ALBERT WILSON HEUSER IFS So much more friendly willz. two. Quietl Al exclaims, for he thinks he hears a Nay, or is he just indulging in his favorite pastime, hunting- which he hopes to continue in a big way when he makes that trip to Borneo? But up to the present, Al's career has been that of just another steady student. CLAIRE EDYTHE HIGGINS I'll 'wear my buclfled slip- pers out 0.-dancing 'til the break of day. If Claire's famous dancing feet don't get her that Ph. D. at Yale that she's aim- ing for, her versatility will. She sings, she dances, she sketches, she plays the piano - Sayl is there anything she doesn't do well? B. U. a good girl, Claire? We'll say so! PEARL MARIE HOMER She is as quiet as a mouse. Pearl's ambition is to trav-- el, and to be a hairdresser. Someday, she might combine the two, and go out to Holly- wood. If she can't get a ride on some 1940 Yankee Clip- per, she might try out her roller-skating ability on the U. S. highways. You know one can never tell about Pearl. ,A FRANCES HAZEL HORTON llluuy goorl fhiugs rome fu, this smnll pu1'lfr1ge. No wonder Franny's desti- nation is undecided, since she wants to travel.

CATHERINE AGNES HOUSTON And that you sfudy fo be quiet, and flo your own bus- 'iucssf' One of our island territor- ies will claim Kay for its very own if she catches the right trains and boats for her destination, Hawaii. We suspect her of signing a con- tract to draw them thar tattoo ads. Her hobbies are dancing and drawing. Watch for her name in the corner of pictures. BETTY E. HOWARD The lzuud flint hath made you fair lzrlflz made you good. Maybe Betty got her fav- orite expression, listen, from driving around near railroad crossings! When Betty graduates from D. H. S. she will probably continue her already extensive travels. Her destination is the White House, where we predict she will become another Alice Longworth. WILLIAM A. HOWARD, JR. lu sport fl man of letters. We can't apply his favorite expression, You're a bad one, to Sonny, for he has been chosen our best looking boy. He says he wants to be a bartender, and his destina- tion is the Tahiti Islands. We wonder where he'll get his ice? Perhaps he'll store it up while working summers as an ice man getting into form to join the Boston Red- skins football team. Page T'we 'U DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL LOUIS GREGORY IADONISI And docs flu' lzvovy look- ing on. Louis says that his activi- ties in school have been lim- ited to studying. His fav- orite occupation is shining shoes-land since he wants to go to Alaska, here's hoping there's a great demand for shoe-shining there. His am- bition is to succeed Roose- velt, and to take the words right out of his mouth, One never knows! MICHAEL ANTHONY IAROCCI 'KFl'l01lflSlZ'l1J is the 'zvine of life. Red wants to be Admiral of the Navy and we expect he'll still be saying, Hiya Babe? as belits a sailor. However, soon you'll find Mike in the wilds of Africa, amusing himself by feeding peanuts to the monkeys. EVELYN CONSTANCE ILLEMAN Neat as cz pin. Take a girl whose ambi- tion is to enter the business world, and who, therefore, plans to enter Miss Fay's School first, add a decided talent for dancing and ice skating, and a reputation for excellence in school athletics, season with a generous pinch of good nature, plus the ex- pression You think s0, -- and there you have Evie. MARY JASSINSKA II-'ho sozveth good shall surely rcapf, Ask Tillie what she thinks about hiking, and she'll tell you 's wonderful.

We'd like to keep her right here in Dedham. VERA OLIVE JOHNSON If Indies lac buf young and fair, They lznm' Il gif! fo know if. As sweet as broccoli is Vera's favorite occupation, just being lazy. She plans to continue it in the future at the South Pole, where she should have plenty of time for it. She's already started a collection of crazy brace- lets and hopes to have a whole lot someday. And that's only one of the rea- sons why she's been voted our most original member. LILLIE M. KANZANSKY A pozlf and fl dimple- zvlzut possibilities. Shucks! if Lil hasn't got plenty of reason for wanting to be an artist, we don't know who has. She's es- pecially talented in this re- spect and is headed for some commercial art school to pol- ish off before beginning her career. She'll probably have a yen to do bathing suit ads, for her favorite occupation is swimming. PATRICIA KEELAN How peacefully she sleeps here on this bank. Once let Pat inside your door and you'll never have any peace. Fi1'st of all she'll ask you, Have you got any- thing to eat? If you haven't, she'1l shriek, Ye Gods! and tear her hair. Next she'll go about as Thomas the Termite digging up all the gossip about you, past, present, and future. After she obtains her A. B. at Wheaton College, Pat hopes to share a Primus Court stu- dio apartment with Del. ROGER FRANCIS KILLELEA The windy satisfaction of the tongue. Perhaps Love will find a way, for Roger disapproves of cosmetics, thinks women should wear their hair in pugs, and spends many Eng- lish periods arguing on these points. That won't help the drug store business you want to control in Eastern U. S. some day, kid. 1937 YEAR BOOK Page Twenty-one ANNA KISILOWSKI As merry as the day 'is long. After Kissy has grad- uated from D. H. S., which is the extent of her ambition, she's going to Bermuda. Sure, why not? she re- plies when we seem dubious. It's a swell place to spend all your time eating, and that's what I like best to do FRANK WALTER KNIOLEK I pity baslzful men who feel the pain, Of fancied scorn and uu- rleserzied clisdaiuf' There'll be Balls of Fire spinning through the execu- tive offices of Mr. Kniolek's business. He wants to own a large firm of his own. We wonder if his private sec- retary will call him Co0kie. After his business is firmly established, Frank will be seeing America first. CHESTER P. KOWALSKI It is good fo live and learn. You can't tell a car by its looks. Who would ever guess that Chet wants to do something he will be remem- bered for and that will be a help to all the people. If combined with his ambition to work for the government, this worthy aspiration ought to help him to clean up poli- tics. For such a doubtful destination as traveling around We suggest a trail- er. MARY ELIZABETH KRECH 'Where did you get your eyes so bluef' 'Out of the sky as I camo flzroughf Gee whiz! Mary has al- ready realized her ambition to secure a good position. Her versatility extends to a decided talent in elocution. Besides this, and her fre- quent trips to the library, she manages to take consid- erable part in our class ac- tivities. Al. CHARLES NORMAN LANDERS 'Tis devils nof words llmf win fl prize. It may be nerts to Nookie but it sounds like the berries to us if he does what he Wants to do. His ambition, to be an American League baseball player, ought to come true if his record on the D. H. S. dia- mond is considered. In his spare time, he will be gar- dening. Which do you like best, Mr. Landers, smooth worms or fuzzy ones? ARTHUR PAUL LANDRY Silent as fl fhozlglzff' Right now Art's favorite occupation is pedaling two miles to school every day, but if he attains his ambi- tion, you'll find him peddling ice at your door in a few years. We wonder if Art knows just where Cape Horn is. We had to look it up on the map and are wondering what the big attraction is at the Southern tip of South America, which he says is his destination. GERTRUDE MARY LEONARD Be good, sweet maid, and let who will be clever. Gertrude is another who is reluctant to disclose facts about herself. Nevertheless we have managed to discover that she enjoys her daily rides to and from school, des- pite the antiquated condition of the bus. RUTH LEVANGIE And zme.rfz'ngzcished laugh- ter shakes the skies. Sample likes to play golf, and you can often hear her saying, Oh boy, when she makes a particularly good shot on the fairway. Ruth wants to be a private secretary, and the powers that be in Dedham High say she will be a good one. She told us her destination is No- va Scotia, but we want to keep our wittiest girl right here in the good old U. S. A. P0913 Twewfy-two DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL LILLIAN NELLIE LITTLEFIELD She smiles and smiles and will Hof sigh. We're turning prophet now, Lil, and foretelling that your quiet graciousness will always win many friends for you. No one asked why, when Lil was announced as one of our honor students. Perhaps her favorite occupa- tion, reading, had some- thing to do with this. Her ambition is to be a private secretary, which ought to be heaven fLil's own destina- tionj for any business man, KARL LITTLETON A short saying off cou- ffzlws muclz 1v1'sflom. What's the scare? lt's just the idea of Karl's claim- ing that his favorite occupa- tion is studying, and that he wants to be a teacher l?'?!J. We're betting that Vera will be glad when t'Mouse's fam- ily ship him off to the Lyman Prep School for boys. Six feet, six of loveliness! LORETTA MARIE LYNCH Spend all you have for loneliness- Bny if and never count flzc cost. According to Loretta, There's always a happy medium, and we think she's struck that between ultra- sophistication and utter na- ivete. Although she was voted our most dignified class member, she isn't al- ways thusawe know that in gym she skips around like a five-year-old. Lovie spends lots of time reading, and we've decided that she must look at the pictures too, because she wants to be a clothes designer. KENNETH ELLIS MacDONALD Ullllucli lcrlriliilg doth make lllee nmrlf' I doubt it,'l says Mac skeptically, as if to prove to us that his favorite occu- pation is criticizing. How- ever, we know him to be a quiet sort of person. Mac's ambition is to write, and although he doesn't say just what, we imagine him pro- ducing something similar to Lloyd C. Douglas' novels. iam 25 l i JAMES E. MacFARLANE, JR. Glory of young men is their strmzgflzf' Some day you may hear of a red-headed radio ope1'a- tor in the navy who goes about, exclaiming, Oooh yaahl and who wishes he were back in D. H. S. pop- ping bottles in Mr. Ryan's English class. If you do, it will be none other than Sen- ator M. C. Blowpipen fJim- mie to youl. Remember him as the goon taxi driver in the senior play! LILLIAN MALETZ A safe companion and an easy friend. Lillian says her destina- tion is marriage. Her favor- ite expression fits in most aptly: How's chances? We hope she gets a chance to dance her way into a law- yer's oflice-not for divorce, but to work. The chances look good, Lillian. BERNICE ANN MANNA 'tSmall things are best. Gee whiz! Bernice has the favorite occupation of tennis. She wants to travel, so we suggest that she give up the business world and do a Helen Wills Moody ca- reer around the globe. AZILDA E. MARIER A tiny 'nzorself' Since Zilda's destination is limited only by her ambition, in the near future we expect to End her in a hospital, training to be a nurse. If her patients should start to hum a jazzy tune, Zilda will quiet them with, Down with your swing bands! and go about defending good music, which she thoroughly enjoys. If they weren't convinced by her eloquence, they could certainly never resist if she should demonstrate her skill at the piano. A . 1937 YEAR BOOK ANNA JOAN MASCIARELLI In her lzearf was hid a sun Would 'warm a world for everyone. I'll say! exclaims Butch, and we'll say that she is go- ing to find her favorite occu- pation, golf, pretty expensive in the South Sea Islands. Think of all the golf balls that will go to the bottom of the deep blue sea. On second thought the native lads would probably succumb to her smile and rescue her balls, so no one need worry. Certainly no business man need fret if he secures Anna as his secretary. FLORENCE J. MCLEISH Home-lreeping hearts are happiest. Florence's favorite expres- sion, Maybe, I don't know, may sound a bit indefinite, but she wants to be a news- paper reporter. While she's waiting for her chance she -f --- plans to work in a business office. Maybe, if she devel- ops her favorite occupation of card playing, she'll be challenging Mr. Bottomley or Mr. Eaton to a game some one of these days. LAWRENCE DONALD MCNAUGHT A man of many words. Hello!' yourself, Lar! H61'C,S another of Dedham High's young hopefuls whose destination is New York. We suggest that they get together and hire one of Chamberlain's buses.

XVhen he's stored up a good- ly sum in this way, he'll come down to earth again, buy his ambition, a LaSalle, and enjoy himself at his fav- orite occupation, driving. FRANK L. MILLER Enough is as good as a feast. Chub thinks people have more fun than anybody and we quite agree. He has am- bitions to do stuff at the Douglas Aeronautical School in Oakland, California, and -yes, you guessed it, every Sunday night at 5:30 you'll find him listening to Col. Stoopnagle and Budd. SYLVIA JEANETTE MILLER 'Tis good to be merry and -wise. Where have I heard that before? says Syl, and we make it plural when we learn that she, like many others of her classmates, has an ambi- tion to travel. We suggest that in her case she hire out to her less fortunate class- mates who don't enjoy sew- ing as much as she does, and earn the means to her dreams.

To the variety of her accom- plishments we add her am- bition to be a nurse. Ellie is seen a good deal near the Dedham Communityl Thea- tre. She won't tell us who lxer favorite actor is, but we suspect it's Jimmy Cagney, because both say, Oh yeah,', so much.

He's provided us with a laugh in many a class where we might other- wise have dozed off. He's al- so interested in hockey and baseball, and if you want more information you must get the particulars from Jimmy himself. PATRICIA ANN MORRISSEY Life is one long, guy song. It takes a man, not a sample to please Pat. When she gets into the business world she might find one and become his private secretary. Until that happy day, Pat will continue her swimming, dancing, and playing the vio- lin. WILLIAM HAROLD MORSE To do well is good, to do good is better. Whoo! Whoo! Here comes the mad scientist around the bend from points far and near. That's just our Bill, plain Bill, tra-la. If this all sounds slighty in- sane, you should see the answers he put on his ques- tionnaire. It's all right, Bill, and We hope y0u'll always be able to enjoy eating. ROBERT JOHN MUIRHEAD Order is at lovely thing. Bob's destination is un- known, but when he tells us that he wants to be a dicta- tor, our imagination begins to run amuck. That haggard look in his eye was caused by a great deal of worrying -perhaps over his famous chickens that got the castor- oil? Happily two of the things Bob likes best to do can be easily combined-not studying and sleeping. Bob nonchalantly asks, What did the doodle bug say? and takes the answer as his authority! RUTH J.

Don't look now-but . . . Neva has so many different nicknames that we couldn't decide on the official one. Anyway, she is going to the Massachusetts School of Art, where she hopes to ful- fill Mr. Corsini's rosy prog- nostications and her own hopes of becoming a com- me1'cial artist. In the mean- time Neva spends her spare time drawing, dancing, and reading articles on politics. WALTER ERIC NILSON Silence is the eternal duty of ?l1tli71.H Walla's1 favorite occupa- tion is hunting, and it might be for any number of things. The most likely guess would be a gold ball, since caddy- ing has been the source of innumerable themes. He and his Riverdale pals ought to join an expedition of some sort to satisfy their mania for hunting. JEAN GARDNER NORTHROP Blest with each talent and each art to please. Jean says, I thought I'd die! but no one came any- where near dying at her per- formance in the senior play. We did feel a bit faint at her announcement that she plans to appear on the New York stage, playing Ophe- lia to John Gielgud's Ham- let. Not that we don't think she could do it! Such a pleasant, unassuming person as Jean deserves the honor of being our most popular girl. VHRIS IJOIIGLAS OGDICN For 1'onrny1' lllllllllfffll with nr1'usion. Chris says, Aw, bolonr-y! but we say that he is going to be speeding right along if he combines his favorite oc- cupation with his ambition: mechanics and race boat driving. He says his desti- nation is to tour the United States, so we suppose his race boat has collapsible wheels! If it can all be done to the st1'ains of soft music, Chris will be happy. JOSEPH MARTIN O'HARA The llfllgllf face of U. blooming boy. Joe will probably go to all those unknown places he told us about, when he be- comes a chauffeur. During his high school career, Ded- hamites have seen him in two kinds of tails-dog tails and dress tails. He has already partly fulfilled his ambition, since he can be seen chauf- feuring about D e dh am streets, and yelling how-ee- yah! FRANCES ONISHUK Stars teach as well as shine. Fran told us that her am- bition is to be a secretary in a business ofiice. But when we asked her what her fav- orite occupation is, she said, For Heaven's sake. So we came to the natural conclu- sion that anyone with such a variety of interests just can't decide which is her favorite one. VVILLIAM BIRD PARSONS Au honest Hlflll, close but- toned to the cliiiz, Bi-oadcloth zvitlzout, 'warm lzcnrt 1uitl12'i1. If there's a little gadget you think ought to be in- vented or if the wheels of something or other don't go around the way they ought to, why don't you tell Wil- liam Bird Parsons? We re- fer you to Bud because his ambition is to be a research engineer. Remember the time you were the lone cheer leader at the rally, William? Page T'l'f 1fL'-Stiff DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL DOROTHY LOUISE PEAK The szvecfesf garland to flu' swccfcsf maid. Wherever there's a Web- ster's dictionary, there you'll find Dot, studying to improve her spelling. If she has her own way the dictionary will be situated from 1 to 1000 miles away from Dedham, but we suggest that such a nice person give the home- town a break. Her ambition is a 1'ather unusual one but we wish her success in it: she wants to provide a chick- en dinner for the patients of the Mattapan State Hospital. WILLIAM PENDERGAST None lmf himself can be his parallel. Bill wears t.he well-de- served title of best-dressed boy with distinction. Some day he hopes to go to col- lege and then devote the rest of his life to an ex- hausting study of Esquire- his favorite magazine, all of which adds up to Bill's own favorite expression, You said a mouthful. DONALD HUGO PETERSON How swecf is music. Egad, man! have you ever seen any of Petey's choice candid camera s h o t s? Many people would be much surprised to learn that he has snapshots of them in var- ious and sundry poses. We'd love to get one of Petey him- self trumpeting in the high school orchestra and being a noise-maker on occasion. outside of school. Like all of us, he wants to be a success in life. MARION EVA PETERSON lily days pass pleasantly a way. If Marion proves to be as good a secretary as she is a piano playe1', she'll rise high in her destination, the business world. HOh, I don't know about that! says Mar- ion, blushing modestly. BARBARA ANN PETTS She is preffy fo walk with and wiffy to talk with and pleasant foo, fo fhinlc ou. We all agree that Barbara cannot be speaking of her- self where she uses that fam- iliar expression of her senti- ments, Oh, you're awful! for she is one of the most personable members of our class. To be absolutely hap- py Cherub must be auto- mobile riding, so we wish her a long, long ride with only a short stop off at college to learn to be a dietitian. CHARLES ANDREW PODOLSKI All the women in the zrorlfl would not make me lose an hour. As a member of both the baseball and football squads, Charlie has won the reputa- tion of being one of our best- natured boys. He hopes to secure a job as an office worker a f t e r graduation. Perhaps you can play on the Iirm's baseball team, Char- le. ELINOR FRANCES PODOLSKE With a smile that glows. Take Puddles's gay per- sonality, add her generosity, and willingness to co-oper- ate, multiply by her chic clothes and smart appear- ance, subtract any idea in the back of your mind that she might be conceited, and the result can be nothing but one charming classmate who has always taken a ready part in school activities. FLORENCE LILLIAN PUFF One thing at least can bring me joy, I simply love fo eat. Puffy is another Dedham High fledgling bound for the business world, after she has completed her course at the Bryant Sz Stratton Commer- cial School. In the mean- time she spends her time lis- tening to opera and singing solos in a West Roxbury church. Puffy wants to be a singer. She didn't tell us to whom, but we have sus- picions. i937 YEAR BOOK MARION E. PUFF There is grace 'in small things. If in a few years you should take the words right out of her mouth and ask Squeaky, How's every little thing? she'll very probably be able to tell you that she's riding high, for she's out to get a good job with a future in it, and will work hard to obtain what she wants. In her leisure time if it isn't dancing, its cards, and if it isn't cards, it's Bea- no. We can't imagine Pufiie lacking something to do. ANTHONY RECUPERO I'ilIainy and he be 'many miles asunderf' In a few years Tony will be greeting Jimmy Foxx with his friendly, How are you? if he realizes his am- bition to be a big leaguer. He'd better get over his fav- orite occupation of eating or else he'll be lumbering around the bases. Slide, Tony, slide! JOSEPHINE RECUPERO The more yon know of her, the better you like her. Isn't that cute! is often Jo's first thought and the reaction seems to be reversi- ble, for we have the same sensation when observing her friendly, pert manner. Jo plans to be a hairdresser and her efficiency and light- heartedness should bring her lots of customers-if her love of teasing doesn't drive them away. After gradua- tion she hopes to get a posi- tion in the business World. Go to it, Jo! MARY B. REDDY Enjoy thy youth, it will not stay. We can imagine without much difficulty that any per- son as friendly and amiable as Mary will be at home any- where and will be a welcome addition to any business oflice as a secretary. The only catch is that she might take too much time out for her favorite occupation of sleeping. Page Tzvenly-seven ELEANOR JEAN RENAUD ufilllfllifltllll has buf one re- wrzrd for all. So what? Eleanor's des- tination is the Sahara Des- ert, maybe. If she does ar- rive there we wish her lots of luck in finding many shady oases where she can keep on with her favorite oc- cupation of bookkeeping. As certified public accountant she should be able to keep the business affairs of the Arabs in order. JAMES RUSSELL RILEY l'fn sure cu1'e's an enemy to life. Russ delights in being a mover and may someday sur- prise us by moving in on the 4100 for We're told he likes to make dates with them. He has plans of be- coming a soda jerker and has been gaining experience at Johnson's. PASCOE ROBERTS 'Tz's my fanziliar sin to jest When Pascoe has grad- uated from college he hopes to be able to pass the bar iwe trust he means that he wants to be a lawyerj. When told that he had been voted our most reliable boy, Pascoe merely replied, You don't say, showing the calm non- chalance with which he ac- cepts life. On warm spring days and during the summer you'll find him canoeing on the River Charles. CHARLES BYRON ROBINSON The world belongs to the energetic. With unnatural mildness, Byron says, Oh my good- ness! We echo his thought when he informs us that his destination is the U. S. Na- val Academy. It isn't much of a strain on the imagina- tion to picture Byron in a snappy sailor's outfit. When he's admiral of the Queen's navy he'll most likely keep a canoe in tow on the flag- ship so that he can stop at his Whimsy and pursue his favorite pastime. Anchor's aweigh, Byron! Page Twenty-eiglzf DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL LILIAN MARY RU EL A eonlrurle lnlifhe and full of glee. It's O. K. by us, too, Lil, ii' your destination is mar- riage, and we're sure it will also be quite O. K. by the lucky man. Don't let married life tie you down so much that you won't have time for dan c i n g and swimming, though. Right now, Lil hopes to get a good job as a typist. WARD RUSSELL Silence is lwffcr flmn meaningless morris. Ward is a shy, quiet per- son, but once get to know him well and you'll find him an interesting conversation- alist, as well as a good lis- tener. He spends a good deal of his spare time going to the movies, and although he doesn't say so we also know he enjoys walking long dis- tances. Ward wants to fol- low in Pete's footsteps and become a chemist. ROSE ANN SCAMPOLI Good sense, zoliirlz is flze only gift of l1c1l4'e:1. If Scampy applies the iiery pep and energy she displays in playing basket- ball, to becoming a secre- tary, any office where she works will be a lively, wide- awake establishment. To keep herself in training, Rose will spend her extra time swimming and dancing. Good luck, Scampyl LOUIS HENRY SCHALL l,1'fe is foo short' io worry. Louis is known about the school as a person who spends a considerable amount of time in plotting juicy p ra c tic al jokes. What's the score? says Louis, and we imagine that it's probably in his favor. 1. .A i HELEN FRANCES SCHLUP Bid me clis1'onrsc, and I will enchanf thine ear. It's hard to know just where to start with Schlupie, she's done so many things. After being such an efficient class president for the last three years, she certainly de- serves the honor of being voted the most school-spir- ited. She's also our most ar- gumentative member, as everyone knows after hear- ing her in campaign speech- es, class meeting, English and Civics classes. Her favo- rite occupation is reading, she wants to be a novelist, and hopes to get to China someday. MILDRED ROSE SCHOEN A good sport, and a loyal friend. Anyone as diminutive as Millie would have a hard time doing what she says she has during her four years in high school-the heavy looking on. That's what you think, , Millie in- forms us quickly. She's go- ing to Banford Academy and plans to find time for becom- ing a hairdresser and for dancing. RITA AGNES SHEEHAN A quiet worker, ci stead- fast friend. Rita is another modest soul who won't talk. We're told however that she feels like saying, Oh keep quiet! when people call her Shee- na. But instead usually she keeps silence and devotes herself to study and obser- vation, so that her name has been frequently seen on the honor roll. HARRY G. SHERBLOM Quiet and unassuming, he goes his gentle way. Hey, Harry! Is your fav- orite occupation hiking? Do you want to amount to some- thing in this world? Did you tell us that your destination is a place called one can never tell? Do you spend your spare time trying to keep your dog Husky from chewing up your family's hats? I reckon so, Harry has to admit. I937 YEAR BOOK FRANCIS JOSEPH SINIBALDI The secret of success is constancy of purpose. If you're looking for a calm young man who doesn't talk much about himself, call on Francis. They tell us that he's also a woman hater, but don't let that wor- ry you. MARY T. SMITH 'Tis a folly to fret, grief's no comfort. Smitty says that her favorite occupation is work- ing in McClellan's, where you can meet her any day say- ing, Gabooble. She says that heaven is her destina- tion and she hopes to realize it along with her ambition to be a good girl. She made a swell beginning, anyway- she's a good girl at the broad jump right now. ROBERT ALLEN SNYDER Nothing is impossible. Aw nuts was Robert's terse remark when we Wanted to interview him for the year book. But he finally admitted that he wants to see the world, and to this end he has made his destination, New York, Chicago, St. Louis, and all points WEST. He modestly revealed that when he leaves his Alma Mater he will continue his present pastime, - Raisin' Cain. JEAN D. SPALDING A 'maiden never boldg of spirit so still and quiet that her motion blushed at her- self. Jeannie will be another contribution from Dedham High to the medical world, for she plans to go to the Lesley School to learn to be a nurse. Her favorite occu- pation is slumming and her favorite expression - who would think it of gentle Jean ?-is Woo-woo.

MARJORIE E. SPEAR I r1sIzioued so slendcrly, young, and so fair. Margie's petiteness might make you wonder at first how she ever became cham- pion tennis player ot' the girls of our school, but hav- ing once witnessed her Zippy serves and capable rallying, you'll immediately change your mind. As if deliberately to surprise us again, Mar- gie is planning to be a dra- matic instructor. Happy landings, Margie! THERESA ANN SPIRIDIGLIOZZI The soul would have no rainbow Had the eyes no fears. It's Spicky for short. We've always greatly en- vied Theresa, because when- ever she's bored at her job of secretary she can play an- agrams all by herseltf with that generous surname. So you'1'e going to Europe, Spickyl They say it's lots of fun. PHYLLIS STEARNS TI1erc's fl deal of deliilfry bencuflz lzer mild e.rferior. In any place from Madame Tussaud's Waxworks to the spicy island of Penang, you'll hear, Fancy meeting you here, from Sterno, whose ambition is to travel. Don't look for her in the winter time, though, because after graduating from Framing- ham she'll be wearing a school 1NZ1'3.l11 look to earn the price of a ticket from here to there. Any time of year, however, you're apt to tind her at the tennis courts practising serves and back- hands with an equally enthu- siastic friend. Page TWH DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL ANNE HELEN SZEWCZUK A smooth and steadfast mind. Gentle thoughts, and calm desires. How do! It's Chuck- Chuck looking up from a book in which she's absorbed to greet you cheerf'ully. She'll probably want you to go for a walk with her. If you stick with her long enough, she'll lead you around the world, for that's her ambition. You won't be a bit bored, either, for Anne's friendly vivacious- ness makes her always an enjoyable companion. JOHN J. SZIMCIK Promise is most given when the least is said. John is very much inter- ested in civics, and particu- larly enjoys keeping himself informed about the current strikes and the C.I.O. We therefore suppose that he is also interested in becoming a politician in later years, bent on being a successful peace- maker, ROBERT CONNELLY TAYLOR lf you want learning you must work for it. Z a c ' s destination i s work, where he has high hopes of getting a salary of S700 a week.

It won't be too cruel though, if she can continue her rid- ing on Wednesday nights- she doesn't say with Whom, but we're sure it's someone nice. We agree that she has a talent for interior decorat- ing after seeing the stage- settings for the Play Shop production of which she had charge. ALICE CECELIA TOLENO A volley of words quickly shot off. So your Mother was tell- ing' us, Alice, that you spend your time doing the heavy looking on, always wanting to roller skate when you should be doing otherwise, that you have a great de- sire to travel around. the world, and that still you have plans of becoming a secre- tary. No wonder you'rc full of fun, Peanut SALVATORE TOTI At any sport hc beats thee. Let's go, yells Salvy, and he certainly means what he says, for who could deny that the football team cer- tainly Uwent places under his captainship. Our most athletic classmate wants to be a coach, and is headed for B. U. Eat, sleep, drink, be merry, and mostly gamble, Salvy, for tomorrow you may be in strictest training for another swell eleven! CHESTER A. VITALI 'tHe was not -merely a chip off the old block, but the old block itselff' Chet must have enjoyed himself thoroughly during his four years in high school, for his record shows that he has kept busy in school ac- tivities continually. As the jilted suitor with a French accent, he was grand in the senior play and-oh yes, he's our best boy dancer, too. For the immediate fu- ture, Chet's destination is Vitali's market, but he hopes to go to Harvard some day. CLAIRE R. VOLMER The best of life is conver- sationf' Quiet! says Claire, whenever Mr. Ryan men- tions the Calf's Liver Hop. Bobby wants to join the Hasty Pudding Club and tells us Harvard College, of course when we ask her destination. If her shots on the tennis court are as good as some of the puns she makes, we can safely say she's an expert at the game. I937 YEAR BOOK Page Thirty-one FREDERICK JAMES WADON The lllllll tlmt bluslzes is not quite ll brute. Bucky's destination is un- known at present, but f'goodness sake his skill in drawing caricatures and sketches of dogs ought in some way to bring about the fulfillment of his ambition to see America first. Since his favorite occupation is traveling he ought to be per- fectly happy. AMELIA ELEANOR WAGNER lVl1ut else is tlicre good but to love und be merry! What say, Mimi? Your destination is Little America, you want to be a nurse, and your favorite occupation is reading? Why not combine them all and play nurse to the big bad explorers and read aloud to amuse them when they're sick? GEORGE FRANCIS WALSH The ouly way to have a friend is to be oucf' We imagine that it isn't to John Collins that George uses his favorite expression, Oh you darling! ! l -Nev- ertheless he plans to go into business with his pal in the firm of Collins, Collins, Col- lins, and Walsh, money lend- ers in the Cafeteria. During business hours you'll proba- bly find him playing golf. MARION LORRAINE WEED Be to her virtues very lcindg Be to her faults a little blind. One never knows when one will find Marion sleeping peacefully, for that's her favorite occupation and she's apt to want to snooze any- where in study hall, at the movies, and even in civics class. Since sunny Califor- nia, her destination, is sup- posed to be a land of dreams, we assume it will induce more of the same. Neverthe- less, we're quite sure she won't go to sleep on the job when she attains her ambi- tion to be a nurse. WILLIAM F. WELCH, JR. living foo full of sleep to uurlerstuutlf, Bill has a devasting dim- ple and a debutante sloueh. Bill's hobby is making air- planes. So you mustn't be surprisf-cl when you hear some day of his flying the U. S. mail. And what could be better than aviation for reaching his destination-- heavfn? UAW gee! as Bill himself would say. He's planning to go to Hebron Academy in Maine. JACOB VVIREN The tlzouglzts of youtlz are long, long flIUllgllfS.U Jake hopes to be a suc- cess in anything he attempts. One of our most artistic and witty classmates, he's also made and broken several fine records in athletics. Jake claims that his favorite oc- cupation is sleeping, which seems rather doubtful in view of all his accomplish- ments. Here's hoping he chooses a conspicuous place to carve his niche in the world. KAARLO VVALDO WIREN Lore not sleep lest thou rome to poverty. Waldo is certainly one of our most consistent class- mates-his favorite occupa- tion, drawingg his ambition, a successful commercial ar- tist, and his destination, the art world. Wally says je ne sais pas, but we know that he was perfect as Let- ty LVthe's jealous iiance. The Wiren brothers seem to place great emphasis on sleeping-lValdo more than Jake, for who can forget his prize-winning essay on this delightful occupation? GEORGE JOSEPH WOELFEL, JR. Tall trees cutcll 'll1llC'll 'lUl.llfl.H Red must frequently be seeing new places, which is his hobby, since, Here's my note for absence, has come to be the expression he uses most often.

Lil is one who will stay near her alma mater, for her des- tination is the Boston City Hospital. ELEANOR ZONFRELLI Dmz't rely on the label on the bag. Gee, whillikers, s a y s Zonie every time she gets a chance to indulge in her favorite occupation, going to the movies. One of our tiniest girls, she is at the same time one of our most energetic, as members of our girls' basketball teams will testify. Zonie has very deli- nite ambitions-and that of becoming a secretary in the business world heads them all. D if MARY ELIZABETH YOUNG How sud and bad and 'mad it IUIIS!

Her familiar yell, Hey, Puff! , is continually heard in the corridors, and she seldom ceases her favor- ite occupation, talking. Su- sie's desire to be a nurse will take her to Johns Hopkins. l937 YEAR BOOK Page Thirty-three KENNETH BENVIE A little nonsense now and then is relished by the best of men. Kenny's destination is the cold, cruel world where he hopes to be able to mind his own business. We don't want to disillusion him, but we can't imagine our wittiest boy succeeding in this ambi- tion. His favorite expres- sions, Wasn't it awful and Wasn't it amusing, seem to describe his antics, famil- iar to everyone. JOHN KNOWLES BLAKE You come lute, yet you come. Am I late? has become a by-word in 101 this year, because Duke is still try- ing to fulfill his ambition to get to school on time. John is well-known, too for his spelling ability and for his memorable performance as the hero of the senior play. We hope he'll get to Harvard on time. VERA LAZZERI A flash of keen black eyes. In the business world, Ve- ra, we feel it our duty to tell you that your favorite ex- pression, Oh, no, will have to be changed to Oh, yes! We imagine that Vera's tiny waist bends with the grace of Sonja Heine when she's gliding along on her beloved skates. May you always avoid cracked ice, Vera! VERA MILDRED DAUGAWEET A friendly, all 'round girl was she. We're inclined to use Ve- ra's own expression, You're crazy, when she tells us that her ambition is to be the fat lady in the circus and to that end she is al- ready eating mashed pota- toes and gravy. She wouldn't divulge any further information about herself, but it's well known that she's adept at creating a per- fect pout. JOHN EDWARD COLLINS Saying little, thinking much. Here we have a modern Rip Van Winkle who says his favorite occupation is giving oral compositions, and who. unlike the original Rip, plans to be a cafeteria money- lender in the company of Walsh, Walsh, Walsh, and Collins. Let's hope he won't be a modern Shylock, too. DOROTHEA BERNICE JACOBSEN Come and trip it as you 90, On the light fantastic toe. Hi kid! A girl who looks like Isabelle Jewell and dances like Ginger Rogers is going places. Dale wants to go to Europe where she and her partner will be known professionally a s Dale and Ross. We think her ambition to be a good professional dancer is prac- tically realized. RUSSELL H. CETLIN A plain, blunt -man. Here's another of our quiet classmates who doesn't want his private life revealed. We understand that he likes to delve in chemistry, in poli- tics, and in playing the pia- no. We wish him luck in w h a t e v e r vocation he chooses. JULIA LOUISE STURGIS What would we do in this world of ours Were it not for the dreams ahead? Julie likes to say T.S. K., but she won't tell any- one why. Perhaps it means Tudy Sivics Karefuly - since she goes in for politics in a big way. She also goes in for art and sleeping, but we hope she does only the former when she goes to the Boston University School of Applied Arts next year. When Julie becomes a busy commercial artist she will probably have time to say only tsk, which will set- tle all conjecture as to what her favorites expression means. GRACE A. OGG A friendly smile, a friend- ly way. We understand that like many other of her class- mates, Grace's favorite oc- cupation is dancing. We also know that her destination is a managership in the adver- ing world. Really? says Grace skeptically. ROBERT D. TAYS On their own merits, mod- est men are dumb. Stingo assures us that his favorite occupation is mostly eating and gamb- ling. We'd gamble too if we had such sure odds against losing as we have in Bob as a basketball player. Next year he'll be at Kins- ley Prep learning how to get a good job. Oh, you Turk! says Bob. WILLIAM VALENCIA As a wit, if not first, in the very first line. Bill has become one of the most widely-known pupils in high school, because of his good-natured acceptance of life. He spends lots of his spare time driving his Ford, delivering orders, and study- ing radios. We expect that he now comes to school by way of Islington. MARY ANN VOIGHT Her fairest virtues fly from the public sight. Oh, Min! She says her ambition is to travel. Her destination is China, where we hope she'll have plenty of time for her favorite occu- pation, playing Marion didn't tell us what she was playing, but it must be fun! JENNIE WHITE lt takes life to love life. Sometime after graduation you'll find Jennie saying, Oh, gosh! as secretary to the president or some equal- ly important official in a large firm. In her spare time she likes to dance, and although she doesn't say so. we're told she also enjoys talking. HUIIOI' Eysfly fforzzfe Mafzfz Fizffzcr of Ijllflflil' Srfzoof Effzmlfzbfz HELLN F. SCHLUP It was not a large building. No, it was smaller than any of our schoolrooms today, but all limitations of size were overcome by its importance in the minds of Dedham's ear- liest settlers. Not just a wooden structure, it was the symbol of an ideal-the first public school in America supported by taxation. It was a day of rejoicing in the little town when the school was finished and a teacher had been secured. The knowledge that their children were receiving an education was reward enough for the early settlers who had struggled so to establish it. In 1649, Dedham was a leader in the field of ele- mentary education. In that very neighborhood nearly two hundred years later lived Horace Mann, who was destined to play a significant part in the history of the American public schools, as had tfhat little frame building of long ago. To the cause of education he gave the greatest years of his life. He was not working for himselfg he was not even working for his own generation, he was working for the children of his time and for those to follow. To achieve his ideals he had to fight. And it was a hgihtenot only against circumstances brought about by fate over which no one has control, but against the closed, unreasoning, jealous minds of many with whom he came in contact. Although he is closely associated with Dedham, it must not be forgotten that Horace Mann and his family originally lived in Franklin. Deprived by death of the guidance of his father, at the early and inexperienced age of thirteen he became the man of his family. With all the work of the farm to do, 'he still managed to read and study enough to enter Brown University as a sophomore, prepared by only six con- secutive months of tutoring. At the end of his college career, he graduated with highest honors. Later, a student of law, he distinguished himeslf by his ability and by his innate desire for the truth. After he had established a law practice in Dedham, he brought his young wife here to live. Practising in the Dedham court, he amazed the people with his eloquence and his sincerity. Like his great contemporary, Lincoln, never would he accept 3 case if he did not believe within himelf that he was defending an innocent man, Although he had only a brief sojourn in Dedham, the people of this town recognized in him the qualities which were later to make him famous, and bestowed upon him such honors as were theirs to give. Presently his happiness with his young wife was cut short by her death less than two years after their marriage. Not long afterwards, the death of his beloved mother, increased his recent sorrow, and temporarily deprived him of courage and hope, Mann moved to Boston that he might leave reminders of his past joys behind, where they could no further torture his suffering heart. He experienced the deep sorrow that makes one feel belief in God is futile. It is only the greatest souls that receive such affliction and persevere. It is only the greatest souls that regain strength and hope, His was a great soul. I937 YEAR BOOK Page Thirfzl-five In spite of all his personal troubles, and partly as a release from them, he turned t0 the cause of education. which was to become his whole existence, his whole life. lt was with some trepidation that he accepted the position of Secretary of the newly-organized Board of Education of Massachusetts. He felt that it was his duty to arouse the people from their apathy and to create a desire for a well-organized common school system which would make available to both boys and girls a good education, and sweep aside all existing barriers of race, religion, and class. With this end in view, he toured all of Massachusetts, giving lectures on the sub- ject, and holding conventions of the teachers. At most of his meetings he found H!-ldi' ences small, uninterested, and generally unresponsive to his plea. His principles of complete religious and political freedom were attacked. A few influential citizens, whose minds could not comprehend his sincere and unselfish attitude, wished to under- mine the faith of some of his followers and so published derogatory statements about him in local newspapers. In a letter to one of his assailants he explained his views with such clarity that he convinced his persecutor of the value of his aims and made him his friend. In 1843, after his ,second marriage, he traveled through Europe, where he made a careful survey of the methods of instruction and the courses of study in the schools. On the continent he found educators practising the very principles which he himself had wished to see effected in his own school system. His seventh Annual Report, pub- lished on his return to Boston, gave evidence of his activity abroad. In it he pointed out the faults of our system that had been revealed to him by comparing the American schools with the European institutions. His suggested changes brought forth another flow of criticism-this time from the Boston schoolmasters, who felt that he was dis- paraging their schools and teaching systems merely to make himself appear as a great reformer. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The schoolmasters banded together and published an article of over one hundred pages in an attempt to stop the activity of Horace Mann. They feared that if the state should adopt his system, they would be unable to adjust themselves to it. Theirs was a selfish motive. When the Whig party was superseded in the state legislature during the trying year of 1840, attempts were made to discontinue the Board of Education. The few who wished to eliminate the board expressed derogatory sentiments. The school libraries and the normal schools established by Horace Mann were mocked by the new administration. No necessity for training people to teach was recognized. But a few members of the House of Representatives defended the work of the board ably, and so clearly showed the criticism of the opponents to be absurd and groundless, that the bill to eliminate it was finally defeated. Thus Horace Mann had revealed to the public the need for improvements. He had kindled the spark of public opinion. It was his task to add fuel to the fire so that it would become a great light, gleaming like a beacon, dispersing shadows that threatened to dim the future. Within him he seemed to have an inexhaustible supply of faith and energy. Work- ing for hours without nourishment or sleep, he devoted himself mercilessly to the pro- motion of his cause. His adversaries who could not find anything to condemn in his ideals, attacked his personal character. He was a man of high religious belief, yet he was accused of heresy. Even while he sacrificed for his cause the little wealth he had, he was accused of craving profit and personal fame. Early in his career as Secretary of the Board, he received an offer to become president of a college in Missouri. This posi- Page Thirty-six DEDHAM l-llGl l SCHOOL tion assured him prestige, security, and the fame his opponents said he so desired, but he declined and kept on with the work that eventually cost him his life. In fighting ignorance Horace Mann was fighting the direct cause of poverty, slavery, and war-evils which men before him had tried unsuccessfully to eliminate. It was he who realized that only by eradicating the cause of an undesirable condition can it be prevented. His time was never his own during the twelve years of his Secretaryship, Always, always his work came first. When he was appointed to Congress to take the place Of John Quincy Adams, his friends rejoiced, for they hoped that he would obtain some res- pite from the work that 'held him-heart and soul. That his political activities did not make him forget his first interest was shown in 1852. Nominated for Governor of Massachusetts and also for President of Antioch College, he turned from a possible H116 political career and chose the position offered by the college. In the administration of his duties he demonstrated the same zeal which had been so evident in his previous work. His new honors brought many problems. He did not find a well-regulated Organ- ization. The buildings had been erected on swampy, stumpy land. There was no drink- ing water. The heating system was not installed until after the college had experienced a rigorous winter. Because his students were suffering, Horace Mann felt more dis- couraged than he would have over personal troubles. His attempted new reforms met with no great approval, yet in spite of all the stumbling-blocks placed in his path, he succeeded in remedying the situation. How he overcame these handicaps and created conditions worthy of a great college is an inspiring chapter in his life story. We owe our gratitude to Horace Mann for the system of co-education now preva- lent in this country. We owe to him the existence of school libraries, of normal schools, and of equal educational opportunities for all. He gave his life that we might derive the benehts of education, and in his life we have found an ideal for which we ourselves must strive. Although the schools of today would seem wonderful to the people of a hundred years ago, we can see that there are now new problems to be solved and endless progress to be made. It is our privilege and obligation to contribute to the future, as Horace Mann labored for us in the past. Let us receive the torch, hold it high, and pass it on undimmed to those who follow us. HOIIUI' Essfzgv F 1'1zr1'i1zg the Hzzyeeer KATE Aucia BELK Once upon a time there was a little boy named Robert. Now Robert was a very ordinary person, even as you and I, except that he was a little below the ordinary in arithmetic. And so one day when he was taking a test, he was at first sadly baffled when he came across this example- If one horse can run a mile in a minute, and the other horse can do the same distance in a minute and a half, how far ahead will the first one be after they have run a distance of two miles? Robert cogitated briefly but deeply, for he was a resourceful youth. In the space reserved for the answer he wrote, 1937 YEAR BOOK Page Thirty-seven I regret to say that it is against my principles to have anything to do with horse-rac- ing in any formf' Well, I might as well confess to you that there never was a Robert. He is simply a symbol for the people who consider it easier to find an answer than the answer to this enigma called life. Great men, curious men, struck by the profundity of this greatest of all puZZlCS, have sought their answers by studying the stars and thc palms of their own hands, bb' religion, by travel, and by science. One of the results of this age-old Search has been the aphorism. The aphorism is a vain attempt to condense life into a few words, which seems on the surface to be an efficient and intelligent course, but really it is futile and stupid. Maxims alone cannot illuminate or account for your life. Life is too complicatedg it is the composite of too many causes and effects to be summed up so conveniently and simply. They say Good things come in small packagesl'-yes, but so does POiSOI1- The early bird catches the wormf' But look what happened to the worm for being early! A motto which is applicable in one set of circumstances is useless and even dangerous in another. Therefore the aphorism should merely color, not control your life. Moreover, when someone adopts a wise saying by which he will later guide l'1iS actions, it is not always an evidence of deep reflection, but the result, perhaps, of the force of circumstances, temperament, or accident. For instance, a young man may have a series of misfortunes in his early life and finally get a break. If he is a modest, self-effacing person, he will probably take for his motto, It's a long road that has no turning. If he is just the opposite, he will choose, You can't keep a good man down. Now it's very obvious that the first old saw fosters a dependence upon circum- stances, while the second provides ample gas to keep the balloon of egotism inflated. Of course it's a long road that has no turningg but if you Want to sit around Waiting for the corner to come to you, just step aside, please. As for the other aphorism, there is the danger that an inordinate conceit may be developed, which will lead to disaster sooner or later. On the other hand, even if the confidence in himself is perfectly justi- fiable, still it is a well known fact that good men can be kept down, and it is a matter of history that good men have been kept down, misunderstood, and mistreated. So if the young man doesn't look any farther than this one maxim he may cramp or ruin his life when he might have expanded it and molded it into something fine and good. My own favorite proverb came to me purely by accident. I can remember, when I was very small indeed, my mother saying, It's an ill wind that blows nobody good. Frankly, I didn't see the point. In the first place I had never heard of an ill wind. And besides, if there were such a thing as a sick wind, it stood to reason that it wouldn't be blowing good around. And so I remembered that saying, and when I understood it, I was so in the habit of thinking of it, that I found it was a part of me. Children hear the trite maxims that their elders casually use and accept them as the gospel truth. They are easily impressed with such sayings as The world owes US a living, whereas the world owes us nothing and we owe much to the people around us. Then, too, we absorb in youth false values of happiness. Most people think that if they look long enough, and go far enough, they will find happiness. Religion, and that homely virtue, charity, are quite out of date. But perhaps grandmother wasn't so far Wrong when she considered them the keynote to happiness-a happiness that can be found at home. Page Tl11'1'fy-Ciyhf DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Thus, with false impressions and values the American youth comes to the day when he must play his part in the world. The older generation envies him because, as they say, he is in the happiest period of his life. Why older generations from time immem' orial have adopted this attitude is something I don't pretend to understand. But any- way, for a time at least, he enjoys the hope, conhdence, pride, and envy of his elders. But as he makes the same mistakes they did, fumbling about, knowing that he is ex- pected to set the world right, and not at all sure that he is competent to do so, the older generation begins to remark sourly that the young folks did better in the old days with fewer advantages, and what is the world coming to, anyway. It takes time and experience to decide what we are going to do with our lives. We cannot look to the back of the book of life and find the answers. We I'l1USt plod hopefully on, chapter by chapter, working out our own slow solution. And yet plod is perhaps the wrong word. For this is not an everlastingly solemn and dreary task, but it can be as much fun to us, as a water pistol to a twelve-year-old. There is some- thing ridiculous in nearly every person and in nearly every situation, and I have always considered myself fortunate that I was endowed with the ability to see it, although my friends tell me it's annoying at times. But I think that if you can laugh at yourself and your troubles, you have taken a long step toward patching up your difficulties. Laughing gives you a detachment that helps you to see things as they are, correctly and proportionately. We know by the serenity of their lives that certain great men have found their answers to this enigma. It wasnlt possible for them to put the whole solution into a formula, but, on the other hand, they couldn't help revealing 'parts of it unconsciously, though imperfectly, in their deeds and words. Abraham Lincoln gave us the keynote of his philosophy in the phrase With malice toward none, with charity for all. Horace Mann left this message to the world: Be ashamed to die until you have won some great victory for humanity. And Washington's child-principle, which your adored first-grade teacher told you, I cannot tell a lie, guided him his whole life long. We can't all be great and famous. Nor can we all utter words of wisdom to be solemnly impressed upon posterity. But as a contemporary novelist, Kathleen Norris, has written, Each and every one of us has one obligation during the bewildered days of our pilgrimage here: the saving of his own soul, and . . . thereby affecting fur good such other souls as come under our influence. She goes on to say that true happiness is made by self-sacrifice and the application of a little common sense, not found like 2 dime in the gutter. You see, it all comes back to my subject, finding the answer. May each of us find his. Here is my hope that we all may find our Shangri-La, as James Hilton puts it in his novel, Lost Horizon. I should like to close with a bit of poetry that has always had a tremendous appeal for me, and is familiar to you, I know. I say goodbye as the Bedouins do: May the peace of Allah abide with you. Wherever you are and wherever you go May the beautiful palms of Allah grow. In the days of toil and the days of rest May the peace of Allah keep you blest. So I touch my heart as the Bedouins do, May the peace of Allah abide with you. Cfass Day Play HLet The Nvexf Gezzerafiofz Be My Clielzfn PAULINE P. MELNICHEK PROLOGUE Fellow classmates and guests, 1937 marks the centennial of an important event in American history. One hundred years ago Horace Mann became the first secre- tary of the Massachusetts Board of Education, and commenced his ight for the estab- lishment of free public and normal schools. Because colleges and schools throughout the whole country are paying homage to this great public servant, we, the Class of 1937, are presenting to you today a short dramatization of Horace Mann's decision to serve the cause of education. This school and the opportunities which we have enjoyed here are the realizations of the ideals of a man who gave up personal ambition to serve the youth of America. He said, Let the next generation be my client. To repay in some measure our debt of gratitude, we, his clients, in turn accept this challenge to serve the future generation by being true to the ideals of American education.

I am very serious, and I must decide today. MR. JOHNSON. Have you lost your senses? You are just beginning to be known all over this state as the finest lawyer- HORACE MANN.

Such men are not fit to deal with the minds of children. This boy is gifted and should be encouraged to develop his abilities. MR. JOHNSON. But why should we worry? Why should we pay taxes to edu- cate other people's children? HORACE MANN. Do not forget it is these same children who will become the future leaders of national affairs. Can we afford to neglect the problem of their edu- cation if we value our democracy? MR. JOHNSON. Free education-tom-foolery! But your salary for this office would be a mere thousand dollars a year. I'll give you ten times that amount for rep- resenting our bank in court. No man would pass up such an opportunity to better himself. HORACE MANN. I am honored and grateful- MR. JOHNSON.

On real cold days the ink freezes on our pens when we try to write. HORACE MANN. I know how hard it is sometimes. I had about ten weeks a year at the public school until I was fifteen. SAMMY Aw, well, once the teacher said I sassed him and he smacked me so l1211'Cl, he knocked out two of my teeth. MRS. PETERS. Hush up. Don't you want to go to school, so when you grow up you'll be a fine man and have an ofhce like Mr. Mann? SAMMY. I can't learn in school what I like, anyway. All we do is cipher and spell big words. I want to be a scientist. MRS. PETERS. That's not the point-the point is, Mr. Mann, we haven't got HO money to keep any kind of a sc'hool open. W We can't afford to run even a poor school. and Jim Sneeds, our big bully, chased the teacher out of town. HORACE MANN. But why have you come to me? MRS. PETERS. Well, some of us heard about you getting a new law passed last winter about schools, so we Figgered we'd come and see if you could help us. We're willin' to help, Mr. Mann, but we don't know which way to turn. The rich people in town won't send their children to 'public school and help support it. HORACE MANN. I am afraid for years we Americans have given more atten- tion to building jails and prisons than school houses. MRS. PETERS. Can't you help us? We heard it said you might be the head of this here new board. HORACE MANN. I have received an offer to become the Secretary of the Board of Education.

Ignorant, if you say so, but anxious for their children to have the opportunities denied themselves. MR. JOHNSON. But the whole thing's undignified. The common school is not the type of institution with which you should associate yourself. HORACE MANN. Right tlhere we disagree, my friend. I firmly believe that the Common School is the greatest discovery of man, and if my position as Secretary to the Massachusetts Board of Education carries little prestige at present, then I shall P096 F01'fy-H00 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL elevate it to a position of power.

I am going to see to it that those free public schools provide the same opportunities, the same comforts, and the same privileges as the private schools. If there is a cause worthy to be upheld by all the toil or sacrifice that the human heart can endure, it is the cause of education. BETSY. Oh, sir, I'm sure you are right. I wish I might help you. MR. JOHNSON. Come, this is all nonsense! HORACE MANN. So it may seem to you. But some day I shall establish a school for training fine, intelligent young women like your daughter to be teachers.

These young ruffians of today need something stronger than a woman's hand. HORACE MANN. On the contrary, I regard it as one of the clearest laws of Nature that woman is the real guide and guardian of young children. She reaps the highest honors when she engages to train children in the way they must go. However, Johnson, I do not mean to plan any rebellious thought in your daughter'g mind. May I, however, have your permission to take Betsy with me the next time I visit the Institution for the Blind? I believe she will find it very interesting. BETSY. Father, may I go? MR. JOHNSON. I shall speak to your mother, and if she consents, you may 1937 YEAR BOOK Page F'01'iy-three make the visit, but let me hear no more of this teacher nonsense.

But, as you know, I came for a special purpose and that was to help you with your will. As I know some of your outstanding pupils, I may be able to make suggestions. STUDENT B. First of all, let's tell Mr. Mann about the brilliant part of our class. STUDENT A. Well, we've decided to give Phyllis Blake's wonderful report cards to Nancy Drew, and may she fill them with the same good marks. HORACE MANN. What about the boys? Haven't you any boy geniuses? STUDENT B. Boy geniuses! Oh, excuse me for being so surprised, Mr. Mann, but we have an awful dumb bunch of boys. STUDENT A. To Doris Fitzhenry we leave the demureness of our most dignified senior, Loretta. George Walsh's conceit is left for Jackie Gilbert, or maybe he has enough already. Claire Higgins's dancing ability is left for her sister Ruthie. STUDENT B. Of course we must leave Sonny 1-Ioward's handsomeness to that good looking Caroselli, but perhaps Phil would rather we left him the care of girls with dancing feet. Oh, yes, besides Sonny Howard's good looks, we leave his bashfulness and modesty to that poor boy Paul Chisholm, who is trying so hard not to be con- ceired. Don't get mad, Paul, remember it's only in fun. HORACE MANN. What about your faculty? Don't you intend to bequeath them anything? You certainly have a fine teaching staff. STUDENT A. Oh, of course. We couldn't forget them.

Why don't you leave Helen Schlup's ability as an orator and leader of her class and Chet Vitali's duties in the Student Council to Lyman Avery? STUDENT A. Yes, that certainly is a good suggestion. We will. STUDENT B. Lucy Hammond's youthful beauty we give to lovely Marion Brown, and right here we wish to remind Mr. Connors that Marion's eyes are a beautiful shade of blue, definitely not brown.

Well, why not have it kept wagging by Lucy Yonsen? STUDENT B. Yes, thatis appropriate. By the way, what's this I hear about this friendship between Barbara Nay and Albert Heuser? XVe'll leave that to Ruth Mac- Donough and Arthur Ecklund. HORACE MANN. I hear you have quite an actress in your midst. We'll have to leave Alice Belk's histrionic ability to Marjorie Lyons. STUDENT A. Oh, that's good. Now we're going to leave the Wirens' brotherly love to the Avery boys, and Bill Valencia's love of Dedham High to Carleton Watson. STUDENT B. We have had many good athletes this year. Our outstanding one in the football field is Salvatore Toti, and his athletic strength is willed to our popular co-captains of football, Lyman Avery and Paul Chisholm. HORACE MANN. I suppose you've just about run out of good qualities now. STUDENT A. Oh, no, Mr. Mann, with such an outstanding class we could go on forever, but since you've got to supervise so many other classes' wills, we've decided to give just one more gift. HORACE MANN.

Refrain We ask no quarter, Fate, for we are strong. We ask no favors, Life - but this we ask, O World, a chance to rectify your wrong, To prove our mettle by a worthy task.

Time - In the year 1950. JEAN. You can't realize how odd it is to me to come back to my home town after spending so many years in Spain. I never thought when I left Dedham that it would be 1950 before I could come back. LILLIAN. Thirteen years! You couldn't guess the changes that have taken place, Do you remember Betty Howard, the girl who went with Charlie Brann, from Westwood? They've been married about ten years. Now her only diiiiculty is getting the little Branns to eat their oatmeal in the morning. And isn't the news about Bill Valencia swell? JEAN. It really is. And whatever happened to Eleanor Hendricks? LILLIAN. Why, I heard the other day that she and Tony Recupero were teamed as trapeze artists. And Tony's sister, Josephine, you know, is the new Dean of Wellesley. They've had their June Prom, with Pascoe Roberts and Stanley Blumenthal's orchestra, Priscilla Bailey doing the vocals and Tony Carpino with his imitations of Parkyakakas. Speaking of schools, Pat Keelan, dean of Miss Gonch's School for Backward Girls, has just appointed our old friend, Ed Brown, as professor of Skipskoolitis, to try to bring those girls forward a bit. JEAN. And what's Freda Brunton doing? LILLIAN. Oh, haven't you heard? She,s in the Taylor Business. JEAN. Have you heard that Father Time, Mr. Peltier, has at last gotten his Dating Bureau under way with the assistance of Jessie Doyle, Fran Cannata, and Betty Galvin, to help some of the fragile, feminine flowers get started in life? As a result of the plan, Bunny Day and Bill Pendergast are raising little bunnies in Wfestwood, and La McNaught and Lillian Maletz are happily residing in Home, Sweet Home, Frances De- laney and Raymond Garlick are married, and Al Heuser and Barbara Nay are living on the common in a trailer.

Higgins, Colburn Senior Play Tbz' Wbrzli' Tou'n'.t Talking, a three act comedy by Anita Loos and john Emerson, was presented in the George F. Joyce auditorium, April 30, by a cast under the coach- ing of Miss Doris Grant and Mr. Joseph Ryan of the faculty. One of the most suc- cessful plays yet to be given by a senior class of the high school, the long weeks of rehearsal by the cast and the work of student committees and the faculty seemed well rewarded by the appreciation of a large audience. The story of the play, briefly, is this. Ethel Simmons has just returned from a Chicago boarding school to her home town, Sandusky. She is followed by Roger Shields, a playboy of Chicago and Paris. Mrs. Simmons, Ethel's mother, is quite awed by Shields' gallant ways and the extent of his French vocabulary, but her husband immedi- ately detests him. As a husband for Ethel, he prefers his business partner, Chester Bin- ney, a quiet, bashful chap who has long been Ethel's silent admirer. Mr. Simmons, a man just teeming with ideas, makes a plan to oust Shields and es- tablish Chester in his dlLlgl'lECI',S affections. The development of his scheme, in which Chester helps him, is the plot itself, and has very amusing results. Involved in it are Letty Lythe, a beautiful screen star, making a personal appearance in Sandusky, her fiance, Donald Swift, Hollywood producer, noted for his intensely jealous disposition, and Sadie Bloom, a flashy, vulgar dancing teacher, who helps complicate matters. Jean Northrop and John Blake, who took the parts of Ethel Simmons and Chester Binney, respectively, were the principal attractions as leading lady and man. Much realism and humor were added to their parts by the acting of Stanley Blumenthal and Lillian Winters, as Mr. and Mrs. Simmons. Alice Belk, cast in the part of Letty Lythe, had a very dramatic roll, and her portrayal of the temperamental actress was most out- standing. Waldo Wiren, as Miss Lythe's fiance, made his part very forceful and life- like. One of the most amusing character parts, though a small one, was that of Sadie Bloom. In this, Yvonne Bolduc attracted much attention with her red and yellow dress, and the gum which she continually worked about in her mouth. James MacFarlane was cast as the small town taxi driver, Vera Daugaweet as the Simmonses' maid, Annie, and Jacqueline Colburn and Claire Higgins as friends of Ethel. At the end of the third act, after the affairs of the characters had been happily settled, the cast made its bmw. Miss Grant was presented a bouquet of mixed flowers as a token of appreciation, and Mr. Ryan received a carton containing enough Bis- quick to keep him supplied for an indefinite time. The co-operation of the faculty and various committees helped a great deal toward the success of the play. As usual, a poster contest was held, and this work of the art classes distributed among local merchants for display. The PrOgram was arranged by senior commercial divisions under the supervision of Mr. Keegan, and the cover design was created by Waldo Wiren. HA.. ,nf . 2 '--25 X, , nh - f,,,,,Q V r .F 1 , .
