Bright blossoms mark the way, and straight ahead There stands a gate, yet closed. We hurry on. But suddenly recalling dreams we've shared, We kneel to smell the flowers, just once more. Then leaving that for which we long have cared, Eyes concentrate upon that looming door. There, hope stands beckoning, nor can we stay If we would know the truth that lies beyond. The gate is reached-again our steps delay, We backward glance, reluctant to respond. Stumbling, we see through tears pale bluish plots. We leave, arms laden with forget-me-nots. 4W 5 4gg ' 'f ---------v---v- ....... vevvvvovvvvvvvvvvvv-- X I ANN H ALLAN mooth IS tl wa 1 ulele the blooll IS e J It the wo1ds Oh docto1' a1e hea1d don t be alalmed It s only N xncy s faVo11te ex p1ess1on Nancy loves t IOIIQI skate and she plans to t1 avel VX hethe1 01 not she Q gomg to t1 avel on skates we an L tell Afte1 she has had a b1t of a vacatlon she s go mg' to settle down to wo1k and then says she Vho knows We expect the best Nancy MADELYN ROSE ALLEGRO I haze a heart wzth loom jo: ezely Joy Mo1e than she eve1 enJoy ed basketball Madelyns go mg to enjoy the futule Hel plans call fo1 a handsome boss, a 1omance, and a South Sea Island honeymoon W cant W1Sh he1 much mo1e than that can wel FLIZABETH ALDEN ALLEN I wzll be the glafldesf thnzg under the sun Betty, the lucky glll who seems to go Just about eve1y whe1e and who has lots of fun dO1Ug It wlll attend Col by JUIIIOI Collec fo1 the next two yea1s Then she says, she w1ll take up 11te1 101 deco1at1ng n stuff Bet she goes places huh?

M-in-m could be! says Patty-Ricia with an infiection which belies her nativity in the tight little isle. Her snappy eyes and ingenuous ways attract many friends. Her aim is to be a second Dr. Harvey Cushing. M-m-m could be, Patty. 74 ROBERT BAYLEY From the crown of his head to the soul of his foot, hc is all mirth. Bob's expression, On the down beat, suggests an or- chestra leader, but Bob hasn't made up his mind about the future yet. If he is always happy about the whole thing, he'll find his right place and we wish him luck. WILFRED BEAUMONT JR. Deeds, not words. Red is a versatile fellow, having played baseball, hoc- key and football. His cheery disposition and constant smiles have made him very popular in school. We're sure that these qualities will aid him in life as well and bring the success he richly deserves. MARY JANE BECKFORD Friendship is the wine 0 life. Becky was one of our dis- tinguished stars in the senior play. As she has always been a friend to all, we think she will make a most sympa- thetic nurse. Next fall she intends to enter the Charles School, in Cambridge, so that if the doctor should also need a secretary she'll be ready for that as well. W- 1 f 1 ,VU Mtg ., LEWIS A. BEDARD, JR. He tnlrotlz most delight in lllllgliflll lllSfl'lllHOIIlS.n Lewis wants to be a suc- cessful musician and body draftsman. We don't know what one has to do to be the latter, but as far as music is concerned, you can't convince us that Lewis isn't a success already. His trumpet play- ing in the school orchestra leaves little to be desired. X JOHN HERBERT BIRCHALL ' f The farmer is an l10zz man. John's favorite expres- sion? He fain would conceal, it. But, if signs are correct, we hereby reveal it, for his aim is to live with the cattle and corn, retire with the hens, and arise with the morn. That is, when he's given his cap and his gown at the State Agricultural School of renown. Hey Rube! ' 1 ELIZABE BLAKE Now the red wins upon her Cll66lCj Now white with crimson closes In desperate struggle-so to speak, A War of Roses. Don't ask meg I wouldn't know, says Betty. Her am- bition is to travel and live happily, so here's hoping that she gets that good position with a nice long vacation for a trip around the world. May she always be as happy as she is now. YVANTHONY J. BONITO The crocus bed is KL quiv- ering moon of fire. Oh Heck -Bonny's one ambition is to get Mr. Heaphy a comb, a hair- brush, and a bottle of hair- tonic. After three years of playing football, he has yet to do this. He has no defin- ite plans for the future, but he ought to go a long way- possibly with Mr. Heaphy after him. af 576196-,Z.',jM ML- 4-ff. 1938 YEAR BOOK . Poge ll XEDWARD FRANCIS z BONITO ' Here was Cl 'man to hold agaiizst the world. Eddie plans to become a grease monkey and take cars apart, forgetting how to put them together again. When the owner queries him about the condition of the car, Eddie will bring into ac- tion his favorite expression, I don't know. Keep at your ambition, Ed. Many of the millionaires today start- ed as mechanics and who knows but in a few more years your income tax will help decrease the public debt. CATHERINE ELIZABETH BRINDLEY Discourse, the sweeter ban- uet of the mind Kay is going to have a long and happy life with him, but how could she fail q I D . ,A!rjJMoot Hon, we do hope to, when even now so many people like her? Who is the him Kay? Has he anything to do with your desire to get that good position? Y FLORENCE ARLENE ' BROAD f 'Twas for the good of my country That I .should be tl-bI'0Cl.d.n Arlene is one of our more musical classmates, but please, Arlene, don't waste your talents on that farm. Or maybe you intend to charm the hens and the hogs with your famous Row-de- Dow. Come, come, Broad- ski, 'fess up. DORIS ANSTICE BROOKES Sweet are the little brooks that run. Doris wants to be a child nurse. Just to try it out she has been taking care of chil- dren afternoons. As her first step she plans to enter the Convalescent Home at the Children's Hospital in Wel- lesley. We hope there won't be too many occasions when the little ones make her use her favorite expression, Oh dear! She's so easy to get along with, there probably won't be. Poge I2 GEORGE W. BROOKS True to his word and friendly in'his heart. .Porky greets everyone with a cheery smile and Hi- keed. He wants to be an office boy for ab:ut a year and then an accountant. Of course, we know you will Succeed, Porky, but we wish you loads of luck anyway. DOROTHY ANNE ' BROWNE Oo, la, la. . Dot, as the French girl in The Charm School was definitely a success. She's definitely going to enter the Massachusetts General Hospital as a student nurse and she's going to become, eventually, an expert anaes- thetist. Then when some wealthy doctor asks her to bet P153 she'll reply, Defi- ni e y. DORIS MARION n BURHANS 'Enjoy thy youthg it will not stay. Dot is known around school as a bicyclist. Her ambition is to be an occupa- tional therapist. She will train one year as a nurse at St. John's Hospital in New York, and then she will go to the School of Oc- cupational Therapy in Bos- ton. It sounds sort of hard, Dot, but we hope you'll en- Joy it. RUTH MARGARET CAMPBELL A cheerful temper joined with innocence. Only a girl with Ruth's patience and understanding would long, as she does, to be surrounded by little chil- dren. To take care of them, to tell them stories, to make them behave - requires a real genius. We can imagine Ruth in a few years as the P1'0I9l'ietor of an ultra-suc- cessful kindergarten. DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL D for X ROSE ELIZABETH CAPOZZI She smiles and smiles and will not sigh. Rosy hates to talk about her future plans, but she does say that she is striv- ing to become a perfect sec- retary. Her favorite ex- pression is Christopher Morley, which is decidedly original. Originality wins the race, Rosy, so keep it up. NATALIE ANN CARDONI Hope smiled when your na- firify was cast. Nat says her years at D. H. S. have been so stren- uous that after graduation she's going to take a good long vacation. We think she's entitled to it after the splendid work she did get- ting ads for the senior play program. Judging from the ability she showed at that, we're sure she'll succeed in getting that good oihce po- sition her heart is set on. LAWRENCE CHARLES CARTY The nenfle mifnde by aentle deeds is knownef' With I'll be seeing you later, Larry leaves us for a business school that will start him toward his goal of an office job with plenty of pay. In his spare time he wants to be a good dancer. Included among the rich and fashionable members of cafe society, Larry, we'll be see- ing you later. CONSTANCE CARNEY Born with the gift of laugh- ter and a sense that the world is mad. Sweet Briar College is go- ing to have a treat when Connie, our best-looking and best-dressed g i rl , enrolls there. We hope the faculty will be sufficiently appre- ciative of her beauty and her cheerful disposition so that her ambition-to get all A's - will be satisfied. She might even meet Joe Stooge there. I 93 8 YEAR BOOK l PHILLIP FRANCIS CAROSELLI His movements were grace- ful, all girls he could please. From football to hop- scotch, all athletics are Phil's meat. He hasn't made up his mind just what he's going to do next year, but the per- sonality that made him so popular in high school will see him to the top anywhere. ANNE MARTIN 7'1m,4..,.,-Q .0 HILARX'-CARRMJ The hand thai hath made you. hath fruacle you good. Because she nearly jumped off the high school roof and because she rides to school in the rain in a crowded rum- ble-seat, Hilary has been voted our most dignified member. When she finishes college she hopes to travel around the world before she settles down. It might be a good idea if she did her travelling right away, as the world just now could use a disposition as pleasant a.. hers. MARION E. CHANNELL He foo serves a certain pur- pose who only stands and cheers. Dern it! can you ima- gine it? Dee Dee is going to the Y. W. C. A. School of Domestic Science, as she in- tends to open a tea room sometime in the future. She informs us her ambition is to be able to eat what she cooks, but you can't tell us that that's going to be any- thing but a pleasure. FDONALD S. CHEETHAM Whom no events surprised. Donald's ambition is to get through college cum laude, he says. We say he should get cum laude for being one of the founders of the new music group, and a very active member of the dramatic club and of the biology club. Page l 3 , f A Ah xx i .A l, K PAUL ARTHUR CHISHOLM ' A sound body is never oi dm wbaickf' Paul is our top notch all- round athlete. He is headed for college and sports, as his ambition is to become a pro- iessional baseball player. There is always room for a good player, Chissy, so keep walloping that ball. X VIRGINIA R. CLARK Thy fmodesty's a. candle to thy 'HZ6'I'lf.,, To be Voted the mildest as well as the class genius is almost as great an achieve- ment as getting an A plus from Miss Kendall. None of us were surprised when Ginny did both. If her career in high school is any indication-and we're betting it is-she'5 a girl who's headed for a brilliant suc- cess. FRANCES MARY COCCI lVlzatez'er she did was done with so much ease. Let me tell it, Mary! Oh! Gee Whiz! Gosh! Mary must have let up this once, because Fran told us her am- bition is to become a famous singer and dancer and have her name in blazing lights on Broadway. For the pres- ent, she plans to secure some kind of office work. MARY CECILIA COCCI Quiet and sweet was all I saw in her. We have in this little miss the makings of another Amelia Earhart, for Mary's ambition is to become an aviatrix. Darn it! she says is her favorite expres- sion. We're all with you, Mary, and wish you many happy landings. Page I4 We MARION F. QJOLLINS Knowledge is a step which few can climb. If you should happen to see Marion sitting on the Great Wall of China with a notebook-and pencil, don't be surprised, for her ambition is to travel. She also pla to further her education, nd after her splendid 'eco' 'n high school, sh nd that e CxQlWyy fx ROYBE. COLMER Wit to resolve and patience to perform. Do you want to know what Roy's going to do? He's going to become a radio expert. You'll really never know how good a set can be until you try one of those he'll be manufacturing with- in a few years. After he's mastered every detail of the radio industry, he's going to become an A-1 golfer. We envy you, Roy. ,f ff PXEMMA G. CONNELL Her voice was ever soft, gentle, and low-an excel- lent thing in a woman. Emma's favorite expres: sion is Nuts! It's hard for us to imagine her sufiiciently provoked to use this. It isn't at all hard, though. to imag- ine the success her tran- quillity and dignity will earn for her. iyfuyryg! VVILLIAM IJAWRENCE CONNORS O, he sits high in all the people's hearts. Children somewhere in the future are going to have a treat when they get a teach- er who's as good natured as Bill. Fish is Bill's favor- ite expression, and traveling is his plan for the immediate future. Sounds like an ideal life to us, Bill. DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL LAURENCE PAUL if CORBETT ' They my women and music' should uerer be dated. Larry is one of our best athletes, a co-captain of the track team, an honor gradu- ate, and the author of our class history and our class song. His immediate plans are Harvard. After that, he hopes to be a big advertising man. He certainly has done a good job these last four years in selling himself and his diversified abilities to all who have come in contact with him. 5. K MURIEL ELIZIABETH If COSGROVE My heart leaps up. Oh, really! Muriel, are you going to be a teacher after you graduate from college? Well, we can't imagine a school that wouldn't be improved by your clothes, your looks, and your personality. Really! CHARLES JOHN COWANf We must have more time for fooling. You scrouger! cries Charlie, whose ambition is to see America first and then settle down in a good posi- tion. A sense of humor like Charlie's will come in very handy while he's traveling: in fact it will make his whole life as merry as he is. X ALICE ANGELINE CUMMINGS Silence is sweeter than speech. Oh, what a kid! Allie's ambition is to be a champion typist and a champion bowl- er. After graduation she plans to attend Bryant and Stratton School of Business. We wish her the best of luck in hitting both the keys and the pins. 1938 YEAR BOOK EVA KATHARINE DANIELS A llliuisfcring angel, thou. Kay has been in our D. H. S. orchestra for four years. Sliels a very accomplished violinist, and with her talent we wonder why she plants her ambition in a hospital in- stead of on a concert stage. Perhaps, though, Florence Nightingale would h ave found a violin as useful as a lamp. A X LAWRENCE JOSEPH DANIELS Give erery num thy ear. Here's a boy who's going to win lots of friends and inHuence shoals of people. His ambition is to be a good listener. We have the au- thority of Dale Carnegie for assuming that the few years' work Buster plans will be all he'll need, if he listens prop- erly, to get him fixed for life. MARION JOSEPHINE DEAN A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance. We're pretty sure Marion will make a good mathe- matics teacher-to be one is her ambition. She often says, I wonder if-. VVell we wonder i ' anythQig will stop her s 7i?ess. oubt it. VINCENT J. DEBENE- DICTIS 'tClenrly thy discourse pro- reeds. Je ne sais pas, says Vin to indicate that he doesn't know whether to teach French or coach football af- ter his four years of college. Vin is one of our most popu- lar classmates. He's our sec- retary, an honor essayist, and a star in football, base- ball, and basketball. VVe have voted him the boy most like- ly to succeed. Page l 5 0 It 7 ,M Qag QM. DOROTHY MARIE DENNISON Whose little body lodged a 'mighty mind. Mousie is one of our soft- voiced girls, which is prob- ably why her favorite ex- pression is Gee, I'm starv- ed! -no one can hear her when she asks for nourish- ment. Her ambition, which we hope is realized, is to be able to speak above her usual whisper, and she plans to have a long, long vacation by the sea, where she can put paving blocks in her mouth and shout against the boom- ing noise of the mud flats. lZ X DO LAS S. DEWAR 4 O D cglas, O Douglas- tendir and trewe. it Say, And has anybody v got a button-hook? Well, ,Q listen to this one then. Doug is at present collecting data K f' for a book, a serious one, and just in case that doesn't cut any ice with you, he is going to study to be a libra- rian or is going into the pub- lishing business. Best of luck, Doug! LAVERNE PRISCILLA DEWAR Around and around she'll go And where she'll stop nobody ' knows. l You've guessed it-Laverne wants to travel around the ryfworld. Evidently she in- tends to mix business with lfpleasure, for she wants to N fy 1 i JI-JT keep 1'ight on studying. If ifjj I5 i' you asked her how she likes ' ri Ilstudying she'd probably say if Swell and then add slyly, I ri't that a hot one? I MABEL FRANCES , DEWAR ' f'Her bright smile haunts us still.

Harold's am- bition is to manage an ice cream parlor. You won't for- get us then, w'11 you, Har- old? LOUISE MARY MUC- CIACCIO A soft, meek, patient, humble, tranquil spirit. Mooch, we're glad to say, wants to stay right here in Dedham and work at the Registry of Deeds. It will be nice to have her around. When we asked her why a girl with her abilities should not go out and see the world, she only said, I don't know. And there really isn't any answer.

He wants a job that will let him go to school nights, but aside from that he'll tell us nothing about his plans. We can tell you this-wherever the coming years find Joe, they'll find him smiling. PRESTON F. SHAW I must go down to the seas again. Mr. Bottomley could never stick Shay, even after one of his vacations, and we doubt if any crisis at sea will ever stick him either.

DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL K' A little nonsense 'now and then is relished by the wisest men. Eddie is another propoun- der of those confusing state- ments known as double talk.

We don't wish to seem med- dlesome, but we think he would do much better selling post holes. if HENRY MATTHEW MEYER Born for sneeess he seems. They're off! will be the cry ringing through Toot's ears if he realizes his ambi- tion. Yes, you've guessed it -Toots wants to become a jockey.

Well - timed silence hath more eloquence than speech. Ya Wanna know? de- manded George when we asked for his favorite ex- pression, so Ya wanna know it is.

Wherever we go-whatever we do-whether we are on the street or listening to the radio, we are not allowed for a moment to forget that no work is available for thousands of boys and girls graduat- ing from high school and college every year. With this prospect constantly held up before us, might it not be expected that we would be utterly discouraged? But are we? Of course not! We are young, and as yet have had no personal experience with failure and defeat, and in spite of the gloomy picture that our elders draw, the world still seems new and exciting, and we go forth confidently to meet it. Nevertheless, youth today does realize that in some respects it is the most un- fortunate generation in our history. In the first place, we of today are being de- prived of a fair start, coming of age as we are in the midst of an economic depression. In the past our vast natural resources and undeveloped agricultural possibilities of- fered, for a time at least, unlimited opportunities, and in the days of our forefathers if all else failed, one could always go west and seek an entirely new life, but with the disappearance of the frontier, even that avenue of escape is cut off. Then look- ing at conditions in the world about us, we see the governments of many other nations clattering the ground, the principles of democracy and liberalism completely defeated, and feel on our necks the hot breath of another world war. When we think of what this would mean to the United States and, for that matter, to every other country involved, then it is that the gay optimism of our youth is shaken. As we contemplate the contemporary scene, the greatest immediate problem that the young people of America have to face is widespread unemployment. In the wo1'ld today it is becoming increasingly diflicult to obtain any position at all, not even to mention finding the particular work for which one is best fitted. At present in this country there are about five million young people out of school and unem- ployed. Is there any solution to this baffling perplexity that surrounds us on every side? One might say that there is no general solution because there is no uniform, inclusive problem, neither the government nor any one person can give the five million in- dividual answers which thest boys and girls demand. Each one must find his Own, and to find means active search-not passive waiting. This principle is shown in the enterprise of an Oregon boy whose greatest am- bition was to enter W'est Point. As his sole means of transportation was a bicycle, he pedalled all the way to Washington. This same initiative secured for him, within twenty-four hours after his arrival, a job with the Western Union as messenger boy, and he persuaded his employer to assign him to the Capitol building, so that he could be near his Oregon congressman. I-Ie remained there until Congress adjourned some weeks later, and then returned to Oregon on the same bicycle, so that he should Page 36 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL still not lose contact with the man from whom he hoped eventually to receive his appointment. Is there any doubt as to whether a boy with such perseverance and resourcefulness would succeed in life? Whiat the incident illustrates is this-that there are still jobs and opportunities for the individual who is superior to the crowd in qualities of determination and industry. I once overheard two men discussing a third, who had been a church architect, but since in these hard times there were no new churches being built, he had passively accepted defeat, taking the attitude that there was no work and that any effort on his part was useless. One speaker condemned this apathy, saying that if he were in the architect's place, he would write letters to every church in New England, then when there was some repairing or remodelling to be done, he would at least have an advantage in obtaining the job. Not only building new churches, but repairing and remodelling is highly desirable, and the willingness to do whatever is really needed, and not only the more spectacular and so-called worthy thing, is a very important quality today for society, and to enable the individual to get ahead. But perhaps for some the answer may be found in a more indirect way- Y collect things like stamps through an avocation or a hobby. There are hundreds of hobbies, one need onl attend a hobby show to realize that. Some people like to or toy animals, while others who have not the mania for collecting, enjoy spending all their spare time at the piano or working in the garden. My point is that every- one should have a hobby whether he has a job or not, and if not, there is always the possibility that a hobby might lead into one. It is very likely that the girl who for her own enjoyment has trained herself to wait on table or cook perfectly might find a position which called for these accomplishments. This might also happen to the man who had a carpentry shop in the wood-shed or had made a thorough study of the radio. The field of music offers a similar case. For example, there is one man who took up playing the organ as a hobby. He was a lover of music and enjoyed his organ so much and became so eflicient that when he suddenly found himself out of Work, he was able to ea1'n his living by giving organ lessons. I also know of a woman who had spent a great many years collecting miniature books from all over the world. She had finally accumulated such a large and in- teresting number that she became greatly in demand as a lecturer. Whether or not an avocation helps one to Hnd a vocation, it certainly brings happiness to its owner. A hobby is one of the best means of deriving pleasure from life, especially if one dislikes one's daily work. Now, as never before, in order to be self-supporting people must be resigned to having to accept uncongenial work, therefore a hobby is essential to keep life normal and interesting. The thought of spending one's evenings and holidays doing something really enjoyable is enough to make any drudgery at least bearable. Less than a hundred miles from Dedham there lives man with a very indi- vidual hobby, which serves exactly this purpose. Now nearing seventy, he has earned his livingiat a rather monotonous and dull occupation, while his main interest has always been in his avocation. As a boy, according to his own story, he decided to make some thing that no one else had ever made or ever would make, and which would keep him busy year after year. He Hnally decided upon a set of designs made entirely from used postage stamps which had been cut into their tiniest parts-the oval frame around the head in the center-the tiny numbers-the small triangles in I 938 YEAR BOOK Page 37 the upper corners. Some pages are noteworthy only for the geometric value of the intricate design, while others depict historical events like Admiral Dewey's victory at Manila, or Colonel Lindberg's flight across the Atlantic. You may remark, What an utter waste of time! but a hobby does not have to appeal to anyone but its owner, it is justiied by its service in the individual case. The essential thing is that this stamp book, in keeping him occupied and not inconveniencing anyone else in the slightest, was his way to happiness. 1 There are many other paths to happiness free to us all to enjoy. Nature herself offers countless thousands of sources-the flaming sunrsieg the roaring ocean dashing on sharp rocks, tossing its foam to the winds, and the tiny new leaves bursting from thc trees in spring. All we have to do is remember they are there. Friendship ex- tends her hands to each one of us and brings joy to all who wish it. Many can find felicity in books, while countless others find their deepest satisfaction in music, either creating it themselves or listening to that of others. Then there are those fortunate few who reach the greatest heights of happiness and contentment in their chosen work, who so completely live in their craft, pro- fession, or art that they have no need for any other outside interest. The sailor who loves the sea more than any other place on earth, the doctor Who gets his greatest thrill from helping others, and the gardener who enjoys above all else planting and weeding and cultivating his domain are to be greatly envied. Above all others, it seems that the scientist, devoted to research, experimentation, and discovery, lives most completely of all in a fascinating world of his own making. For this is the best thing possible which, if we can obtain it, no other earthly pleasure can exceed. Nevertheless, we realize that this is and always has been the solution for only a chosen few. We have recognized that we all can not be completely satisfied with our daily labor, but we can all find happiness from some source. In fact, no American can help feeling a deep satisfaction, if not exultation, when he compares his country to many of those across the sea. XVe still have a comparatively free press, and we can read what we wish, wherever we wish, without fear of being hustled off to a concentration camp. Our newspapers do not exhibit a deadening uniformity because the editors have been ordered what to print, and we do not know what it is to have our letters opened, our telephones tapped, or our friends thrown into prison for expressing pacihst sentiments. Nor do we know what it is to send our six-year-old boys to drill for tlhe battlefield, nor to have to try a gas mask on the baby the first thing in the morning. We have not experienced these things, nor shall we, so long as we remain worthy of the liberty we now possess. There is the hope that the American Dream may not be lost-a dream, as ex- pressed by James Truslow Adams, in which life should be better and richer and fuller for every man, with opportunity for each according to his ability or achieve- ment. It is the dream of a country in which each man and woman will attain his full possible height and will be recognized for what he is worth, regardless of rank or wealth. This principle of equality is already with us, if not as yet completely ful- hlled. When a young Frenchman recently come to this country was asked his most striking impression, he answered unhesitatingly, The way that everyone of every sort looks you right in the eye without any thought of inequalityf, page 38 DEDHAM HIGH scHooi. At least in comparison with other countries, our American Dream has partially come true and perhaps in the days ahead may fully be realized, but whether or not in our lifetime, we still can say, I am an American, and add with Mary Antin, a little Russian immigrant girl, sitting on the steps of the Boston Public Library, It is not I that belong to the PClSt but the past that belongs to me. America is the youngest of the nations, and inherits all that went before in history, and I am the youngest of America's children and into my hands is given all her priceless heritage, to the last white star espied through the telescope, to the last great thought of the philosopher. Mine is the whole majestic past and mine is the shining future.', SPORTS FOR ALL VINCENT J. DEBENEDICTIS Most people who speak of the importance of sports participation for all, instead of for only a few, fail, through ignorance, to realize how complex the problem is. Formal gymnasium exercise is a subject that needs a great deal of attention. Like any other sort of sport which is labeled as non-competitive, it possesses many unavoidable disadvantages. Primarily, a sport or game which does not appeal to a student who must participate in it, is like trying to force castor oil down a child's throat. He will swallow his medicine with grimaces, but instead of becoming more alert he appears grumpy and disconsolate. Thus the student who engages in formal gym work is not likely to be enthusiastic about it. In other sports the most vital, enduring quality is the general aptitude shown by performers and spectators alike. Without this, the popularity of the game will not be assured. The appeal of the sport to the athlete and to the spec- tator on the sidelines has two entirely different aspects. The former appeal is more realistic, that is, it assumes a livelier and more fervent ardor which consumes the per- former's heart. The other is a slighter response to an exciting, luring attraction. Yet in spite of this difference the first cannot live without the other. These effects formal gymnasium work lacks. The cost of apparatus cannot be left unmentioned, since it cannot be secured from the students themselves. How many times does one hear the old familiar saying: With- out money nothing can be done. This can be applied in gym work. In some cases the games require very little equipment while others require not only the proper materials but also the careful management of them, once purchasd. In formal gym work, one readily perceives the amount of cash needed to purchase new articles and machines. While these objects are made to undergo strenuous workouts, they must be submitted to a rigid inspection every so often, in case of a possible accident occurring. There is always the probability of some careless student, not using the apparatus in the proper manner. While we are on the subject of formal gym work, let us go more into detail from the hygienic point of view. In formal gym work we do use almost all muscles in stren- uous exercises and training, we do become adapted to the several skillful actions. How- ever, do we employ these muscles in everyday life, or do we merely use those with which we can carry out our common, everyday activities? Then if we do use them, we naturally become accustomed to this sort of exercise and we continue to practice it as 1938 YEAR BOOK page 39 we get on in life. Then when we do desire to train for some other sport, it will seem quite difficult to get accustomed to that form, since we have not established those athletic habits necessary. This formal gym work may do the trick for some youths but on the average it will not create any sport technique. If this gym work has always the same routine, spectators can not be expected to have any special interest in it. The lively action and gripping tenseness of most sports is not present here, hence the fans will not support it. But of course, there is always the case of a professional exhibition of formal gym work, this, no doubt, is filled with masterful control of the body, and the sport becomes highly spectacular. The average youth could not acquire this finesse and ability unless he were remarkably trained. On the other hand, under interscholastic sports the spectators experience a great part of the thrill and emotion displayed at such games as football, basketball, and hockey. The fans want an action a minute and they receive it also. In comparison to formal gym work this system of sports program has paid well. Through the regular attendance of spectators the exceedingly heavy cost of equipment is greatly lessened. The variety of games under scholastic sport attracts the follower, who therefore has a choice in selecting any particular one he prefers to view. This is one important advantage over formal gym work. Another advantage of interscholastic games is that cooperation of a smooth, well- working unit. Without the support of all members of a team working with full- pledged spirit, a game cannot be won. This cooperation shown by coach and players is the Hnest thing that we have in American sport. It fosters the hearty ideals for which we all are working. If this plan is taught in our younger days, it will be of practical value in business and social life. We are all working together toward a common goal, and unless we crowd together in a huddle and put our heads and bodies behind this game of life, we cannot plunge onward. We develop our minds, we figure out the gains and losses, and then act accordingly. With these activities the player is molded not only to be a star performer, but also to be mentally, morally, and physically aware of the rules of the game of the world. The player is groomed', for this game just as he is converted into a stellar player in each sport. His spirit is never dauntedg he is courageous in the thick of the fight. The most conspicuous disadvantage of interscholastic sport is that it allows only the participation of a few. There is the emphasis on one, over-rated star. The star who is always placed in the spotlight is subject to a great task. He is a hero in the eyes of the spectatorsg therefore his foremost intention is to continue to play his role superbly. This is the obstacle confronting most stars: that they are always the inevit- able victims of foul play from the whole opposing team. Wouldn't a clear thinking unit have more of an opportunity to compete favorably with their opponents without one star? Interscholastic sports have been limited to the very few who are fortunate enough to make the varsity team. This is sometimes criticized since all candidates, out for a sport, cannot be given .1 thorough tryout. Some youths who haven't the fundamentals, required in particular sports, may yet develop if given an opportunity to show their ability. Quite contrary to this program, is that of intra-mural sports. Here the possi- bilities of those desiring to compete are limitless. The sport is open to all those students who are not capable enough to make the school team. The youth may try out for any one he chooses, there being a great variety. Page 40 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL That is merely one of the many advantages of intra-mural sport. Herein is demonstrated that enthusiasm not shown in formal gym work and the important principle of sportsmanship played so prominent in interscholastic sports. From this intra-mural system teams of the inter-scholastic type are built. This system is used as a training ground for the higher teams. The performer is taught the principles of the game, the attitude to assume in contest, and the reliableness required of him. Through this wonderful process many well drilled youths are fitted for any sort of problem arising in their participation on an interscholastic team. For the past few minutes I have merely considered participation in sports from one particular aspect. Now let us consider this phase from a different angle. The individual sport constitutes a problem not to be overlooked. There are such sports as golf, tennis, swimming, skiing, and others calling for individual performance. These above all the rest are more closely related to the problem confronting students upon leaving school. In interscholastic and intra-mural sports the team as a whole is neces- sary for the execution of a play. Can a student who has played these sports call together the necessary team members for games after school years? Obviously not, for the players are scattered. However if he decides to play a game of golf, he very easily can secure a partner. Such sports have been limited somewhat in the athletic curriculum because of the expense. Yet it would be most profitable to the student for his future. I have considered the processes involved in all sports participation. The lack of appeal in formal gym work tends to rule it out. Moreover when a youth desires to gain a position on an interscholastic team, his wish is Rpt not to be fulfilled since there is a limited number of athletes with whom a coach can adequately work. His oppor- tunity seems to come under the intra-mural plan but here his individual performance is restricted since all work together as one unit. Now let me emphasize my objectg that individual participation in the games I mentioned do more for the pupils in both school and later life. Everyone likes to participate in some sport or other and should not be handicapped because of his poor ability. Some provision should be made in all schools for the development of sports for all and for all time. sl P+- fl, ft ' V 1938 YEAR BOOK Page 41 CLFISS PRCDPI-IECY ELINOR H.

His face looks familiar to me. ANNE. Why, yes, I believe I know who it is. But I'm not sure. Let's see what he wants. fAs Paul approaches, the group advances lo meet him.j PAUL. Could any of you people tell me where Anne Carr is? ANNE. Right here! Now I know who you are! You're Paul Avery, our class- mate of '38, but what are you doing, and where have you been? PAUL. Well, I went up to the mountains the day after graduation and got so tired that I couldn't resist my habitual inclination to lie down and take a nap. That was in June, 1938. ROBERT. Well, Paul, it's now 1958, and you've been asleep for twenty years. PAUL. Well, I think I'll sit here and find out what has happened during that time. What have you done in the past twenty years, Anne? ANNE. I just got back from my annual trip around the world in my private yacht, The Dolphin. Henry Segersron is my captain, Albert Harris is the efficient steward, and James Henry, the cabin boy. PAUL. How about you, Don? Are you still interested in music? DONALD. Yes, indeed. The other day Prudence Williams announced in her news- paper, the Chrixiian Science Monilor, that Marion Dean, after a whirlwind engagement, was married by Donald Cheetham, the minister who swings thc wedding march. PAUL. What are you doing, Elinor? MARION. Paul, would you believe it? She has moved the Hyde Park Whiting Milk Plant to one of Uncle Sam's navv ships so she can combine business with pleasure. ELINOR. You keep quiet, Marion. But, Paul, Arthur McKay, the present Pro- fessor Quiz, was non-plussed by Marion's wide knowledge. She won the twenty-five silver dollars last week with a perfect score. PAUL. I've heard about all of you now, except Robert Welsh. What are you do- ing, Bob? ROBERT. Nancy Allan is conducting her own roller skating rink at Dedham's new page 42 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL I l i R J amusement park on the banks of Mother Brook. Her assistants are Rose Haggis and Lucy Yonsen. I very obligingly help all young ladies put on their skates. ANNE. Now that you know what we are doing, let's talk about the rest of the illustrious class of 1938. PAUL. That's a swell idea, Anne. First of all, what has become of David Walsh? ELINOR. David is the United States Senator from Massachusetts, and Vincent De- Beuedictis has just been appointed our ambassador to France. Vincent cabled the other day that Malcolm McDonald and Roy Colmer were battling it out for the international golf championship, but Alfred Longden came out the winner by a long shot! DONALD. Nancy Drew is the champion racing driver of the world, having recently won the Indianapolis Auto Races with a speed of 250 miles per hour. Her racing car was designed by Lewis MacQuarrie and George Topf. PAUL, Hooking af Robert Welsfaj. Has Wallace Murray realized his ambition as a photographer? ROBERT. Yes, indeed! He is with the M. G. M. studios. Alma Kamps and Rita Kennedy are now the owners of this studio. Helen Petelski has recently passed a screen test given by them. Wallace took photos of Helen, but his greatest thrill is getting candid camera shots of Shirley Kingsford, the Grace Moore of Cinemaland. MARION.

ELINOR. Betty is supervisor of nurses at the Baker Memorial Hospital in West- wood, where Lois Edmands is dietitian, and Betsy Ayres, Dorothy Higgins, and Shirley Fortnam are registered nurses. This accounts for Arthur Drouin's reluctance to leave the hospital, where he has been receiving treatment for first degree burns. Arthur's burns were received while answering a false alarm run in by Dorothy Starr, whose burning ambition is to see the fire engines race down High Street. DONALD. Mary Dunbar is decorating the homes of the Hollywood stars. ANNE. Yes, but lately she has been having a spell of Quincy. ROBERT.

Charles Andries, who is Catherine's bookkeeper, is obliged to wear glasses because of the constant glare of red ink in his books. ELINOR. Katherine McLean, Helen O'Brien, and Mabel Dewar are excellent waitresses there, but they are still waiting for their back pay. DONALD. V'E is the weight-guesser in the F00 Circus, and we've heard for have we?j that Margaret Doyle and Alyce O'Sullivan are the barkers at this circus. ANNE. Harold Morgner was spotted here posing as the tallest man in cap- tivity. Confidentially, he has a pair of stilts under him. Forrest Hanson and Robert Walsh, those two dainty fellows, were on display near Tony. Of course, you all know they are the strong men. ROBERT. When we went to the circus last, we saw Charles Wayshville water- ing the elephants. Charles trains the elephants so thoroughly that one of them caught William Wessell trying to crawl under the big tent. PAUL. What is the studious Virginia Clark doing? MARION. Virginia was awarded the latest Nobel prize for her essay on Com- prnsafion. ELINOR. Emma Connell and Vincent Negrini are collaborating on a new geometry book. DONALD.

Page SO DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL MR. BOTTOMLEY. That was a fine class. I think that it was one of the out- standing classes in all my years of teaching history. Sometimes I feel I didn't ap- preciate them as I should have. Now, Butch, give a connected account of the po- litical history of the 1938 class. BUTCH. Well, you see it was like this. Lyman Avery, star football player and state champion in the 500 yard dash, was presidentg Hunt was treasurer, and De- Benedictis was secretaryg all of them for the four years. The only ollice held by a girl was the vice-presidency. MR. BOTTOMLEY. A matter of woman suffrage, Butch? BUTCH. Well, you see it was like this. Wigmore was freshman vice-president, and Caroselli was sophomore vice-president. But in the junior year, Janet Winters won the election. In the senior year, Paul Chisholm, one of Dedham's greatest all- round athletes, held that office. MR. BOTTOMLEY. Very good, Butch. Now Eloise, could you tell us what outstanding event took place during the freshman year? ELOISE. Cpausej Oh, I know! Ruth Higgins met Phil Carosellig and ever since, they've been as close as five minutes of eleven. MR. BOTTOMLEY. No, no, Eloise. ELOISE. Was it a dance? MR. BOTTONILEY. I'm asking you, Eloise. Concentrate, if possible, on the question. ELOISE. Uh-huh. Well, it seems to me I read somewhere that they-oh, I know-they were the first freshmen ever to run a dance. They made seventy-five dollars. fMiss Coed raises bur1d.j MR. BOTTOMLEY. Correction, Miss Coed? Miss COED. Query softlyj They made sixty-two dollars and forty-seven cents. MR. BOTTOMLEY. Miss Coed! As I've told you before, you need not be afraid of anyone here. We do not permit any inferiority complexes. You are just .as good as anyone in this room. Now speak right up. Loud. Go ahead. Yell. MISS COED. fsboufingj Sixty-two dollars and forty-seven cents! MR. BOTTOMLEY. 'I'hat's much better. Mr. Kiely must have heard that down in the basement. MR. KIELY. fappearing in doorwayj Would you be wanting me? MR. BOTTOMLEY. No, Mr. Kiely, your name was mentioned but no one called you. fExit Mr. Kic'ly.j BUTCH. fasidej That was a pretty fast trip from the basement. MR. BOTTOMLEY. Quiet, Butch. Appaulo! Tell some more about the social events in 1936. APPAULO. I didn't think we had that. And besides, I don't go in for dances and that sort of stuff anyway. MR. BOTTOMLEY. fGiL'l'S Appaulo a withering look and wrifes in boolej Miss Ford. Miss FORD. They had a sophomore dance at which more money was made, but they spent it later at the sophomore party. MR. BOTTOMLEY. The junior year, Eloise? ELOISE. Cguslainglyj Oh, the junior prom comes to my mind immediately, 1938 YEAR BOOK Pgge 51 but I suppose I should tell first about their Variety Dance, which was a great success. Cdreamilyj That junior prom must have been so beautiful and lovely-the music-the decorations-and everything. MR. BOTTOMLEY. Yes, yes, go on. ELOISE. I don't remember. fAwakens szzddenlyj Where was I? Oh yes- the junior prom. The book says it was the most colorful affair ever staged in the school. For the first time in history the grand march went off smoothly and without any mixup. MR. BOTTOMLEY. And the senior year, Smythe? SMYTHJ3. During the era, or the period, so to speak, of the senior year, the social diversions of the students of those days I would list as follows: namely, the senior promenade, with a snack or two at Johnson'sg the senior play, including an old- fashioned buggy ride, the junior promenade, the highlight of the spring social sea- son, and the class banquet, a gustatorial delight to please the palate of the most fastidious epicure. MR. BOTTOMLEY. That's enough, Smythe. SMYTHE. Quite. But I also know about the graduation, although we havenit studied it in the book yet. MR. BOTTOMLEY. Weil take that up tomorrow, Smythe. Speaking of the senior play, I want you to know it was very satisfying, in view of the fact that I had charge of tickets, that the house was entirely sold out. It was rumored at that time, I remember it well, that Walsh would not indulge in the customary embrace with the heroine at the final curtain. After the performance, however, and tba' demonsfrafion, it was said that Walsh should be made professor of osculation at the Charm School. CPupils laugh-all but Appazzloj MR. BOTTOMLEY. Hmmm. Didn't you laugh at that one, Appaulo? APPAULO. No. MR. BOTTOMLEY. Hmmm. fwrifes in bookq Butch! BUTCH. fjzzxt abouf I0 pass a ll0fl' fo Eloisej Er-er-did you say BufC19 ? MR. BOTTOMLEY. Yes, Butch, I said Bulrb. Outline some of the sport ac- tivities of this famous class. BUTCH. Well, you see it was like this. Football was the main sport. Under Coach I-Ieaphy and Assistant Coach Scafati, and with a majority of 1938 boys on the team in 1936 and 1937, they didn't take a beating once. They were scored on only once in two years, and a high wind was mostly to blame for that. And in the senior year they beat their great rival, Norwood, twenty-five to nothing. MR. BOTTOMLEY. What about track sports, Appaulo? APPAULO. They were good. When the class was in its freshman year, it was nicknamed flare Irark class. In six interclass meets they lost only one, and the school track team, while these boys were on it, was undefeated for three years. Coach Peterson took over track sports in the sophomore year, and due to his careful and competent training, the teams established this record. MR. BOTTOMLEY. Very good, Appaulo. Tell us about the basket-ball team. APPAULO. The basketball team under Coach O,Donnell did very well consid- ering the lack of practice due to the destruction of the gym floor. MR. BOTTOMLEY. Miss Coed, sum up the two remaining sports. Page 52 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL MISS COED. Well, I don't know much about games in those days when only boys played on the teams, but I learned that the ice-hockey team, under Coach De- Salvo, practiced at dawn and had a very flashy outfit. The breaks of the game seemed to be against them all season. They also had an old-fashioned sport called baseball, coached by Mr. Heaphy and Mr. Scafatig and in this sport, too, they had a splendid record each year. MR. BOTTOMLEY. Can you add anything, Smythe? SMYTHE. Righto! The history and pictorial record of this era indicates that the girls' basketball teams were composed of very good-looking young ladies, but, since they were not permitted to play in public, an accurate account of their abilities is not ascertainable. However, it may well be assumed that if their skill equalled their pulchritude, they were most successful. MR. BOTTOMLEY. Miss Ford, three other important events occurred during these years. What were they? Miss FORD. The high school paper, Tbv Mirror, advanced to a higher class, Mr. Ryan, under whose direction it was issued, was all In A Diflaer. The Student Council Convention of the Eastern Division of Massachusetts was held at Dedham High School, April 30, 19383 thus was realized one of the fondest dreams of Miss Boynton and Mr. Eaton. I-er-I clon't remember the third one. lfljvjrazrlo raises lJaml.j MR. BOTTOLILEY. All right, Appaulo. APPAULO. The Dedham High School Alumni Association had old Stone Park enclosed, which enabled the Dedham High School Athletic Association to make barrels of money for Mr. Green to buy athletic equipment. MR. BOTTOMLEY. Well, that seems to cover most of the important things ex- cept graduation. Before the hour closes, however, I want to call to your attention the following statement: In the preface to your history text-book, O'Donnell says: This class of 1938 has been made the subject of historical research because it was so outstanding and had such a variety of interests. The pupils excelled in many fields: athletics, scholarship, dramatics, music, and sociabilityf' You pupils would do well to emulate the virtues of the class of 1938 and you should be proud to attend the same school that graduated such a fine class. lPeriod bell rings. Pupils rise and start to ple ouf.j MR. BOTTOIMLEY. Remember! Tomorrow we take up the graduation of the class. STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS STANDING--L. Avery, P. Avery, E. DeFelice. SEATED-R. Higgins, Winters, Petts. 1938 YEAR BOOK Page 53 Senior Play The Cburm School, a three-act comedy by Alice Duer Miller and Robert Milton, was presented by a cast of seventeen seniors in the George F. Joyce Auditorium on April 8. The play was a financial as well as an artistic success, as every seat was sold and at least twenty late arrivals were turned away. Miss Doris Grant directed the play, and Mr. Joseph Ryan assisted her. The play dealt with Austin Bevans's efforts to reorganize the girls' school he inherited from his aunt so that the pupils would acquire charm rather than knowledge. Homer Johns, the somewhat cranky lawyer who held a mortgage on the school, was willing for Bevans to try his theories but threatened to foreclose if any of the pupils fell in love with him. When Austin, accompanied by his impecunious friends David, George, and the Simpkins Twins, arrived at the school, the girls welcomed them, but Miss Hayes, the headmistress, opposed them violently. This amusing situation soon became further complicated when Elise Benedotti, the beautiful president of the senior class, fell madly in love with her new principal. Austin's attempts to discourage her, plus the various entanglements of his assistants, made the rest of the play quite hilarious and completely delighted the audience. David Walsh and Helen Petelski, who took the parts of Austin and Elise, were the stars of the play and were enthusiastically applauded. The scene in which they rode back to school in a decrepit buggy was one of the highlights of the evening. Vincent McNally gave an admirable portrait of Austin's friend David, the serious-minded one who insisted that his pupils should really study history. Douglas Dewar was most amusing as George, who was supposed to teach accounting but did little except propose to Elise. Lyman Avery and Thomas Pritchard, as the Simpkins Twins, pleased the audience from the start with their light-hearted ways. Joseph Kivlin made a splendidly forceful Homer Johns, whose rough manners covered a real affection for his former wife, Miss Hayes, and Mary Jane Beckford, as Miss Hayes, excelled in the difficult task of being a stern disciplinarian. One of the most amusing roles was that of Miss Curtis, the susceptible old maid, who had been waiting all her life for an inspiration like Austin Bevans. Virginia Clark gave this part the most effective treatment imaginable. Of the girls in the school-all of whom looked so lovely it really seemed un- necessary to teach them charm-Janet Winters was delightful as Sally, George's sister and the twins' idolg Dorothy Browne, with a real French accent, made a most amusing Alix, and Anne Carr, Mary Wood, Madelyn Allegro, Genevieve Haigh, and Otelia Weschrob formed a lively and entertaining student body. It was unfortunate that illness kept Ruth Higgins from taking part in the play, as her dancing in the second act would have been welcomed as heartily as was Anne Carr's singing. The Charm School differed from earlier senior plays in that three different stage sets were used. The work of Walter Smith, Paul Avery, John Gilbert, and John Peterson in rapidly changing the scenes kept the play going at a lively pace. Also sharing in the success were Mr. Keegan and his sales classes, who arranged the program, Mr. Clark and his art students, who contributed striking and effective posters, and Mr. Bottomley and his committee of energetic ticket-sellers.

May it please the court, the contestants aver and will present evidence tending to prove that a certain document presented to this court and purported to be the last will of the Class of 1938 of the Dedham High School should not be admitted to probate by this honorable court because the said document does not, in fact, truly rep- resent the will of said class, because said document was executed while the testators were of unsound mind, and at the time of writing many members of the class were not present, because they were in Norwood, West Roxbury, Hyde Park, and diverse places and therefore could not express their will for and against it. May it please the Court, I will now call the first witness. F lClerk calls first wifness and swears lvcr in.Q ATT. FOR C. Please state your name, address and occupation. MISS S. S. Miss Susabelle Snodgrass, 17 Cucumber Terrace, and I attend Dedham High. ATT. FOR C. How long have you known the deceased? 1938 YEAR BOOK Pose 55 Miss S. S. Four years. ATT. Fon C. Did you, in all that time, ever notice any signs of insanity in the Class? Miss S. S. I don't like .to speak of it, but now that you mention it- ATT. Fon C. Oh! You have noticed some peculiarities then? Tell us of them. Miss S. S. Well, one Saturday last Fall at Stone Park most of the Class of '38 were seen acting as seniors certainly should not act. Why, they were most undignified. They were jumping up and down, shouting, and pounding those standing in front of them. And then another time, when I was passing the boys' gym, I saw Lyman Avery, the Class President, running in circles. ATT. FOR C. This is most interesting. Do you remember any other strange actions? Mlss S. S. Now that I think of it, I do remember one sign of insanity that occurred time and again among the members. ATT. Fon C. And what was that? Miss S. S. Well, once in a while. if one watched very carefully, he could some- times catch a senior studying in a study hall. ATT. Fon C. Hm-mm, quite peculiar. Did you notice any absurd bequests in the will itself? Miss S. S. Goodness, yes. Quite a few. ATT. Fon C. Could you tell the court some of them? Miss S. S. The bequest to Mr. Ryan. What would he want with a scooter and trailer? Everybody knows Mr. Peltier walks to school and Mr. Ryan wouldn't have a chance to give him a ride. I would have given Mr. Ryan a complete set of Shakespeare. I-Ie has always wanted to read some of Bill's works. ATT. FOR C. Can you remember some more examples of their unbalanced be- havior? No? Well, what about this part here? flleudsj To Mr. Peltier, the charming wearer of Baby Blue suspenders, we leave a box of Form' so that he can get some Bobby Benson Money to use in civics classesf' What do you think of that, Miss Snodgrass? ' Miss S. S. Everybody knows that Mr. Peltier would rather have some Wlaeafics the Breakfast Food of ClJam,bions. J ATT. Fon C. Uh huh, and what about this? CReads from willj As he is rapidly becoming adept at it, we leave Katherine McLean's skipping of school and signing of excuses to Billy Conlonf, Mlss S. S. Well, that is absurd. Nobody does such a thing at Dedham High, and it's unfair even to suspect it. ATT. FOR C. I'm glad that is cleared up. And now to continue. What else in the will seemed strange? Miss S. S. In the will something that seemed quite foolish was left to Miss Grant. I can't remember what it was. ATT. Fon C. fReaa's from willy To Miss Grant, coach of the senior play, we leave a bouquet along with a copy of Mr. Ryan's famous ballet, The First Crocus. We hope she will be able to produce this shortly. ls that the section you referred to, Miss Snodgrass? Miss S. S. Yes, it is. - ATT. FOR C. Suppose then you state, in your own words, just why this bequest is ridiculous. Page 56 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Miss S. S. Miss Grant directs plays, not ballets. ATT. FOR C. Thank you, Miss Snodgrass. That will be all. U0 other lazvnyerj You may inquire. QLau'yrr for Contestants sits down aml Lawyer for Trslafors lalzrx u'ilm'ss.J ATT. FOR T. Well now, Miss Snodgrass, you have known the deceased for four years. Can't you think of anything indicating they were in full possession of their mental faculties? Mlss S. S. fAflc'r l'0f1l'l'llfft1filIg, Of course they left Nancy Drew's marvelous reports to Lily Johnson and Virginia Clark's ability in history to Dorothy Richardson. Other than that, I can think of nothing. ATT. Fon T. Why, you must approve of a few of the other bequests, too. For instance, it says here, Bernadette McDermott's outstanding basketball playing is left to Isabelle Kennedy, and Gertrude I-Iaslf.ell's contagious giggle is given to Rita McCarty. Here in another place it reads, During the four years in which he has been Class Treasurer, John Hunt has spent many long nights pondering over the class accounts. For all this work he has received nothing except the words class treasurer after his name and twenty-seven headaches. Everything considered, however, we are proud to leave his ability to Gertrude Coates. Now, Miss Snodgrass, don't you approve of all this? MISS S. S. XVC-ll, I suppose so, but that does not prove they were sane . ATT. FOR T. No, it doesn'tg but it is helping to. Now to refer to one or two of the first statements you made. You said nearly all of the class was seen at Stone Park acting in a manner not becoming to seniors? Miss S. S. Yes, I did. ATT. Fon T. Will you repeat what you said. Miss S. S. I said that nearly all were at Stone Park jumping up and down and shouting. ATT. FOR T. And you saw no reason for the excitement-none whatever? Miss S. S. No-o-o. ATT. FOR T. Come now, no reason? Miss S. S. Well, I suppose the football game, that Dedham was winning, had something to do with it. ATT. FOR T. Oh! There was a football game. You didn't mention that before. And about Lyman Avery. You are sure you saw him running in circles? Mlss S. S. Yes, in the gymnasium. ATT. Fon T. Were the circles big or little? ATT. Fox C. I object, Your I-Ionor. The size of the circles has no bearing on the case. ATT. Fon T. Your I-Ionor, it is quite important to find out whether the circles were big or little. JUDGE. Objection overruled. You may proceed. ATT. FOR T. Well, Miss Snodgrass, were the circles big or little? Miss S. S. They were big ones. ATT. Fon T. And isn't it true, Miss Snodgrass, that Lyman was competing in a track meet? Miss S. S. Ye-es. ATT. Fon T. Thank you. And about the seniors studying in study halls. Are you sure of that. Mlss S. S. Positive. l938 YEAR BOOK Page 57 Page 58 ATT. FOR T. That could have been just an accident on their part. Even the best. of us make mistakes some time. Thank you, Miss Snodgrass, that will be all. lFirsf wifness leaves sfaml. Clerk calls second and swears kim in.j ATT. FOR C. Your name? PROP. Ignatius Horatio Percival McQuack, A.B.C., X.Y.Z., and C.O.D. ATT. POR C. What is your connection with the case? PROP. I was engaged by the contestants a year ago to study the senior class and 'determine whether the members were of normal mentality. ATT. FOR C. That was the Class of '38, was it not? PROP. Yes. ATT. FOR C. And just what were your findings, Professor? PROP. I find, after a thorough-going investigation, that the median intelligence quotient of the deceased was 50. This figure offsets any isolated instance of brilliance in the class, since the I. Q. of the moron is 70. ATT. FOR C. just what is an intelligence quotient, and how is it arrived at? PROP. The I. Q., or intelligence quotient, represents the theta correlation of chronological age to mental age, integrated with the median coefficient of beta cor- relation. It is especially reliable in distinguishing mice from men. ATT. FOR C. Thank you, Professor, I am sure that everybody understands the significance of your Hndings. That is all.

Anatomy, zymurgy, toxicology, zautology, odontology, and physiology. ATT. FOR T. And now, Professor, just what are you doing in your spare time? PROP. At present, I am making a scientific study of the proper way to hold knitting needles, in order to cut down air resistance and speed up production. ATT. FOR T.

ATT. FOR C. I object, Your Honor. How can the witness tell that if is the one she saw? She only saw it that once. JUDGE. Objection sustained. More proof must be given to have statement credited. ATT.

I remember it left the dramatic ability of Helen Petelski and David Walsh to the Dramatic Club. Uh huh, and here is Lewis Bedard's musical talent left to his brother, Edward. ATT. Fon T. Please read a part of the will aloud to the Court. Miss G. G. Certainly. CReadsj Kenneth Simpson's activities as a politician and his book How to Kiss Babies fo Gel Vofes are left to Philip Spalding. Ruth Higgins, our Terpsichorean, leaves her ability to Doris Ferris. Catherine Tate passes her notable appetite on to Tony Paglucca, who also is an epicure. Constance Carney's sophistication and Edward Lynch's ability to charm the ladies are left to Marion Scanlon and Warren Wheeler, respectively. Miss G. G. Is that enough? I am posiiivr' now that this is the one. ATT. FOR T. Read more just to make doubly sure. Miss G. G. Well, this is the mort convincing: Paul Avery's gallantry is left to Ernest Weidulf' And this next part I remember was difficult to decide on. It was discussed for hours before they agreed to leave Lyman Avery's executive ability to Eugene QGenoj DeFelice. And then after another hour it was voted to leave Lyman Avery's and Paul Chisholm's scoring, combined with the teamwork of Vincent DeBene- dictis, James Hall, Paul Avery, Philip Caroselli, and Tony Bonito to next year's team. Mr. Heaphy was also given the job of coaching the team through another undefeated season. ATT. FOR T. Well, if that doesn't prove their sanity, I'm sure nothing will. Isn't some mention made of Miss Clough, too? Miss G. G. Yes. cRUdt1l.YJ Because of her great love of flowers and pretty blot- ters, we leave Miss Clough a package of seeds and a year's supply of assorted blotters. And here is another one I could never forget. Jack Gilbert's authority as traffic ofhcer is left to Bunny Lod. What could the Freshman Corridor do without it? ATT. FOR T. Thank you, Miss Goodwin, that will be all. U0 other lawyerj You may inquire. fC0llllSCI for Contestants lakes wifm'ss.Q ATT. FOR C.

CRc'adsj To Mr. Bottomley we leave a small red, white, and blue megaphonef' MISS G. G. That is to use for advertising the senior plays. Mr. Bottomley is usually hoarse for a week after the play each year, and as a result he cannot assign home- work to his classes. l938 YEAR BGOK Page 59 Poge 60 ATT. FOR C. W'hat a catastrophe!

Now whoever heard of a person loving school? Miss G. G. Both she and Thomas McDonough do. ATT. FOR C. Thomas McDonough isn't mentioned in the will. Miss G. G.

CGIHIZCFS again af will in bt1lId., But how are you going to explain this item? QReaa'.ij To Mr. Heaphy we leave an adding machine. Now what would Mr. Heaphy want with that? Miss G. G. He could use it to add Dedham's score over their opponents. ATT. Fon C. Wfell, some things are being cleared up now. I suppose che motion picture camera that was given to the Photography Club is to be used for recording the same games, isn't it? Miss G. G. Oh no, that is for the Golf Tournament between Daring Danny Keegan and Tiny Tom O'Donnell. When they discovered they were both receiving complete golf equipment, they challenged each other. ATT.

Miss Olga von Schantz and David Walsh directed the play. The stage setting showed a typical Irish country fair. The plot centered around Mrs. Tarpey QRita Kennedyj, the owner of an apple cart, and showed the amusing developments arising from her deafness and the contagious gossip of the townspeople QDouglas Dewar, Mary Gesick, John Hunt, and Richard Wigmorej. The victim of the gossip fRichard Whitej is supposed to be the murderer of red-haired Jack Smith fVincent McNallyj. Unwittingly he walks into the arms of the law Qjack Gilbertj and the law's meek subordinate QLOuis Lovelyj, and out of the arms of his spirited wife fAlice Loganj. The Irish brogues of the characters added greatly to the enjoyment of the play. The action moved swiftly to a hilarious conclusion as the magistrate, by his stupid questioning, is finally convinced of the simple Fallon's guilt. Vincent McNally's rendition of The Red-Haired Mar1's Wifr' was particularly entertainingg in fact the entire play showed careful directing and thorough rehears- ing, and met with deserved applause from the audience. 1938 YEAR BOOK Page 6l av ,..
