Rear rozr, leff fo riglvf: Mr. Daniel Keegan, who graduated from Salem State Teachers, College and studied at B. U., Simmons, and Fitchburg State Teachers, College, again guided the senior play program committee to a very successful end. XYe are sure that he has already obtained his ambition for successful living. Mr. Thomas F. O'Donnell, our basketball coach, would not state his ambition, he is waiting for the presidential election. Mr. James Smith, our newest history teacher, hopes to wow 'emu at graduation, like Mr. Bottomley. Mr. Orlando Scafati, a Notre Dame graduate, who is assistant coach of football and baseball, wants to see the income of sports balance the outcome. Mr. Eliot G. Hall, a graduate of Dart- mouth and B. U., who teaches English and remedial reading, likes music and has many fine records. He says that he does not believe in having ambitions: Look at Caesarf' Mr. James KI. Riley, one of our most popular teachers, hopes to improve his voice, but that seems impossible, as it is so good already. Mr. Thomas M. Yonker, a graduate of Villanova, teaches freshman history, he hopes to have sometime an all A class. Mr. Joseph Green, Jr., a B. C. graduate and our faculty manager, would like to see the A. A. comfortably out of debt. Mr. Charles L. Peltier, who graduated from Clark University, teaches civics to seniors, he likes his discussion periods and would still like to have a class of red-heads. Mr. Joseph H. Ryan, another Dartmouth man, teaches senior English and junior journalism. XVhen he finishes work on the Mirror and the Year Book, he is going to try to get back the seventy-live books people have borrowed from him. Mr. Thomas Le Cvuern, a Dedham High and B. U. graduate, teaches junior law and hopes some day to break 70 in golf. Mr. Nicholas De Salvo, whose alma mater is Boston College, coached a successful hockey team in the Eastern Massachusetts League and hopes that some day Dedham High will have a hockey rink and that he will catch a three-pound trout. 1940 YEAR Book poge 5 Page 6 Middle row: Miss Florence E. Murdock, who graduated from Radcliffe and teaches English here, hopes that she has made good spellers out of 4 D. Miss Mary Sweeney, who graduated from Simmons and teaches commercial subjects, has, at present, the ambition to grow grass on the shaded parts of her lawn. Miss Katherine Gahagan, who graduated from Middlebury College and has recently received her M. A. from Boston College, hopes some day to vacation in the Swiss Alps. Miss Olga von Schantz, a graduate of Radcliffe, was adviser to our dramatic club and coach of the class day play. She hopes she will again have a senior class who can write their own class day play. Miss Mary E. Sheehan, a graduate of Dedham High and B. U., is in search of a suitable ambition. Miss Catherine E. Castle, another graduate of Radcliffe, hopes some day to have a class that will behave itself and not have a membership of a Dedhamite, attended Simmons and hopes to College graduate, our girls' gym teacher by was given, hopes some day to have all her and low.

Tobin, Sargent whose efforts the gym demonstration girls poised, with voices soft, gentle, most genial and hard working teachers, hopes to have enough money to enjoy life. Miss Ruth Baker, who helped one of our honor essayists this year, is a graduate of Dedham High and B. U. Her ambition is to see America. Miss Mary Weeks, a Smith graduate, teaches European history. She would like to have time to read all the books she has been listing in the last few years. Miss Doris M. Grant, who coached the very successful What a Life graduated from the University of Maine. She teaches English. To produce a real drama for a senior class is her ambition. Miss Laura Mclntire, who has her B. S. from Sim- mons, teaches commercial subjects and hopes to get to the World's Fair this summer. Miss Marion S. Harding, biology teacher and adviser for the photography club, trusts that some day the Year Book will contain none of the teachers' ambitions. Front row: Mr. Fred A. Clark, who has been very helpful in supervising the drawings in this book, hopes to become a better artist. Mr. Edwin T. Peterson, our track coach and science teacher, has as his ambition, To train boys and girls to be good American citizens who will do some thinking for themselves, especially at the polls. Mr. John F. Hieaphy, whose alma mater is B. C., teaches algebra and gym and has been the coach of our football and baseball teams, and an ardent supporter of other sports. Some day he hopes to have his football and baseball teams cham- pions at the same time. Miss Madeline Clough, one of the kindest and most patient of our teachers, has taught us Cicero, Caesar, and Virgil. If her wish is fulfilled there will be an elevator running from 308 to the cafeteria. Miss Dorothy P. Kendall, head of the English department, helped with Grace Matthew's poem and Anna De Benedictis' essay. She hopes that she may assist young people in discovering the satisfaction and joy found in literature. NVe have printed a separate picture of our principal, Mr. Ralph H. Eaton, on page four of this book, together with a note of appreciation of his assistance to us. Miss Lucy I. Clough, who sympathized with our math problems, hopes some day to have an all A class.

XXi'allace, to whom this Year Book is dedicated, ends this row and the faculty. No! i!ll'1Ilt1l'tI our band, and our Mary E. Sullivan, in this jvivfzzre: Mr. Robert W.

DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL 1 A seasons IMRY AlSliAll.-XMSUN Holy Cats! cries Lolly, de- lighted at the prospect of bicy- cling through foreign countries -the peaceful ones. Between pedals she plans to work in an etlice. After that-well, there are bicycles huilt for two. IVRANVIS .lt ISICPH AIJYAHIJ Frank is one of our shining proofs that you can be a good athlete and still have brains. He'll make the grade whether it be in the business world, the baseball diamond, or the hockey rink. l RANK THUKIAS A N.-X ST.-X S I Frankie will start his rise to fame and affluence with a posi- tion as clerk in a grocery store. He will then become assistant manager, store manager, and so on, until some day he will own the whole company. lllflil5lCli'l' .IHHN .VXNIJICHSHN With Ruhe's winning smile, his days as an apprentice in some trade will he cheerful in- dtcd. He wants a well-paying juli, a happy home, and, we lcnow, lots of friends. 4'll.Xlil,lCS lll'INliY .VXTIQINS Vharlie will have to crowd all his dancing and social life into the next few years so he can settle down as head comptroller of the l'nited Shoe Machinery Vo., where husiness comes he- fore pleasure. Poqe 9 JOHN ALEXANDER BAYIVCHI Next year John is going to study engineering at M. I. T. He is an expert on classical mu- sic, and in pursuit of this hobby he has been very active in the music club and the orchestra. ROBERT BRADLEY BHAVMQ INT Here comes old twenty-eight, and we're right here to tell you that it's in hot pursuit of a cer- tain brunette junior. How dry his oral compositions were, and we don't mean subject matter, we mean humor! JEAN FRANFES BISHOP When you are a successful typist, Jeanie, we hope you'll enjoy yourself as much as you did sophomore history with Mr. O'Donnell. We hope your many friends won't neglect to send you stamps from their foreign travels. .IICSSIIC lCll,l'll'lN ISIAKNICY If silence is golden, as they say, Jessie will he a golden sec- retary-she won't answer back. In spite of her quiet ways, Jes- sie has made many friends. Next year, Topper will have to use a dictionary, perhaps- mayhe. XLXRY t'l.Allil'l ISUNVICK Mary has a fine collection ot poems, a quiet and reserved manner, and an ardent desire to he a secretary. Gee Whiz! Carl Sandburg, here's what you've been waiting for. DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Wll.I,lA1l H. BOWMAN IX' Outside of badminton hours, Bill plans to become an expert linotypist and eventually the foreman of a printing shop. When you print the D. H. S. year book, Bill, we hope the staff gets the copy in on time. l'Il.liANUllli ANN BUNITU After Ellie has graduated, she will become a private secre- tary, with plenty of time for dancing and theater parties. During her years at D. H. S. she has enjoyed typewriting and English more than any- thing else. t'l,lFFURlD HUGH BUYLE The presence of Cliff at D. H. S. has added just that certain touch which always goes with such a versatile orchestra lead- er. If he keeps up the good work, we can say we knew him when-. THICUIJHRIC EDIJY BRAATEN When he is a wealthy Wall Street financier, our Mirror editor will watch the stock mar- ket ticker from his bath tub while he croons In My Merry Oldsmobile. Can't it find its way to Needham alone, Ted? TJURUTHY lCI.lNUR BRICKLICY Well, cheese and crackers! says our peppy sportswoman. Dottie, a killer-diller in all sports, will be a bloomer-girl instructor. Without Dot as a forward, the girls' basketball team would have bitten the dust early in the season. 1940 YEAR BOOK .Xl.lt'l'f VIRGINIA IHHIINIHAKI Gin has dreams land how!! of becoming' a Secret Service agent. After she finishes at Katherine Gibbs and after she's added her very definite glamour to inteinational in- trigue, she plans to retire and live the life of Riley. l'1.eXllBAli.fX Nl. BRUWN XVhen Babs finishes business school, she will become a trav- eling' companion and keep her eyes open for additions to her fast growing' souvenir collec- tion. RUIANIJ BAKER BRHWN Rolly is Uhitching his wagon to a star and is going to ride all the way through Northeast- ern to an executive position in the telephone company. He will then have plenty of time to listen to his records. t'llARl.l-IS W. BRVNT Bill evidently believes that silence is golden, but still wa- ter runs deep, they say. We'll take our hats oi? to Bill, though, when it comes to knowing auto- mobiles and being a regular fellow. lY.'XliHl'iN l'lllfSt'lVl'rli lSRl'N'l' Brute is the unjust name given to this quiet, modest fel- low who is a potential mechani- cal engineer. Phooey! to such misnomers. We're glad to say that Brute has what it takes. Page 9 FRANK BCONUMO Bee will go to school next year and eventually become the thoroughly competent type of aviator in whose plane nervous old ladies and timid young things can feel as safe as an oyster in August. JENNIE C. CANNATA Jen, Barbara Hutton's suc- cessor, will start her career as a merchandise buyer. Hello they-ah, she'll greet the hand- some salesmen as a prelude to collecting their photographs. SARAH A. CANNATA Sally, after graduating from the Conservatory of Music, is going to be a concert singer and we mean No kidding, She has already thrilled us by sing- ing Indian Love Call. In her spare time she will hike, dance, and read. .IusEPH CANNING, Jr. Click, there's another one for the Hays office to censor. Yessiree, most of Joe's life goes on in the dark room. Some day his pictures of beautiful girls will be found in the Louvre. PRISC'lI.l,A BLANCHE CARLSON C. L. A., here I come! Next year Cill plans to enter B. U. We bet she goes with fiddle in hand. Here in D. H. S. she-'s practically held up the orches- tra with violin strings. We hope some day someone leaves you a Stradivarius, Cill. Page lO EDWARD JOSEPH CARR Chortling, H'ya sport? Ed- wa will roam through life as a scoop-grabbing reporter. He's going to begin his roaming on the golf course, where he's a pretty proficient performer. PHYLLIS FRANCES CARR With an eagle eye for suc- cess, Phyll is going to further her talent at New England School of Art. The best idea would be to put yourself into the drawings, Phyll, then you'd surely come out on top. ROBERT HUTCHINGS CARTER Bob tells us that he hopes eventually to become an angel. We think his chances of doing this are very good. We also think that we can count on him to boot it home successfully and often. MARIE ISABEI, CASEY After Marie gets her new winter coat, she plans to retire, collect her old age pension, and pursue her hobby of bicycling while she muses over her pleas- ant thoughts of graduation. Ri JB ERT CHAPPEI. Bob, one of our star history and civics students, hopes to be- come a certified public account- ant. Detecting war propa- ganda and belittling Mike Co- lumbo are his favorite hobbies. He has the determination and hrains to carry him a long way. f DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL , KIICNICYIICYIC .IUSEPHINE CHRISTOPHER Judging by your typewriting record, Jo, we are sure you'll find the success you dream of. When you are riding on the waves of triumph, we hope you'll find time for your hobby -swimming. l'II.-XRLES EIAIER CLAPP II Charlie will astonish both Deerfield Academy and Wil- liams with his track prowess. After he's a rich and famous sales manager, he'll spend his summers exploring the equator in a sailboat. .ll lHN BI. VLOSE Morry, another loyal rooter for the senior play, is going to be a government employee. We hope he'll be a postman, not a sailor, and give the local girls a treat. KA'llHl'll'IINI'I IIAIIHEIQN i'I.llSl'1 Maureen, Olympic badminton champion of the future, plans to go to college next year, after graduating from D. H. S. She hasn't yet decided on which one to bestow the honor of her presence. .IUSICPH C'llI,'Ci'I When we hear My Heavens, we know that Cornelius is around somewhere. If he's as good in the printing business as he is in football, he'll be printing our year books for us soon. l94O YEAR BOOK l'Ii.'Xlll.lCS if Vt lI,lil'liN To be a playboy, taking can- did camera shots of playgirls, requires money, so Charley is going to get a job in the near future. In the far future- wheel Nlll'IIAl'll, l'lll,l'MliH, JH. Mike is going to continue his business studies and eventually become a special agent for the F. B. I., with super-human skill in trapping wicked income tax evaders. Go easy on us, Mike. KIAIIH.-Xlllffl' BIAIIY VUNIJUN Peggy, our swimming and badminton fan, is going to keep her typewriting and shorthand in trim by going to night school next year, and will then become a model secretary to an appreciative boss. KI.-XHY l'1l.IZAl'1l'I'l'Il ANN l'4lNNlll,l.Y Mail' would like to become a singer and a nurse, so she will combine the two and become the first singing nurse. Since she'll attend the Boston Conservatory of Music next year, the patients will just have to wait. IIICLICN I.lI.l.l.-XN ANN VUNNUH Number please, Lil will say, when she gets her job as a telephone operator. We know her number already: she was D. H. star tap dancer, and also a very ardent English fan. Page l l PATRICK JOSEPH COS! lROYl'l Spark Plug will enter North- eastern next year to study civil engineering. He says his favor- ite hobbies are eating and sleep- ing, but we can't believe that. What would the 4D English class have done without Sparky? ANN MAR Y CYRRAN Ann, one of our most popu- lar girls, hopes to work as an artist on Filene's advertising staff. Should Filene's turn to dramatics, you would find Bon- neli, our dramatic club presi- dent, in the leading lady's role. ANNA lDel3l'lNl'llJlC l'lS Secretarial school is going to be Anna's first step toward be- coming the boss's wife land then the bossl. Her favorite hobbies are decorating the gym for D. H. S. dances and buying peppermints for Mr. Ryan. MARY RITA lies RUVHES Rita, who is as sweet as she looks, is beloved by all who know her and is very ambi- tious. She is planning to study the organ and will someday be a professional organist. Her hobbies are music and badmin- ton. l.UI.'IS A. lie YlRfill.lH Deve, as he is known to his many friends, has his heart set on being one of our future or- chestra leaders. When his rec- ords hit the market and the hearts of all our swingsters, Benny Goodman had better watch out. 45 ag NATALIE MAY DEWAR Nat iyou remember the little black girl in the senior playj plans to work next year. Af- ter that she'll go into training to be a nurse. What, no play acting in your life's work, Nat? MARION DOE Scoop will be an expert on the family budget after attend- ing business school next year. She will then be able to collect her precious souvenirs ilike Woofyl in an efhcient and eco- nomical manner. MARJORIE RUTH DORE Margie is going to Pembroke College next year to become a laboratory technician. No doubt she'll add as much color to this profession as her red hair has to D. H. S. and her music, to the orchestra. .IUSICPH IQIDWARID llllYl,l'l Heck, says Joe, a man's gotta eat. Hence, with his shrewd eye on the nation's emp- ty stomachs, he is going to en- ter the catering business. After calculating his profits, he will probably spend his spare time dancing. l,ll.l.lAN l RANl'l'lS IDVNISAR I don't know yet, said Lil, when asked what she planned to do next year, but she'll eventu- ally beeome a private secretary. Cut it out for the love of Pete! she shouts, as she runs around opening loekets for a hobby. P099 I2 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL lI'NE RFTH EASTWOOIJ Debbie's sunny smile will cure many a grouchy patient if she stays single long enough to be- come a nurse. In her leisure time though she likes to go ea- noeing, and she finds nothing quite so nice as watching foot- ball. R IT.-X I J. ICM li R Y NVhy should Rita think she has to go away to school next year in order to become a mod- el? Isn't she a model cook now? Isn't she a model of deportment in English? Wouldn't she make a model wife? LINNEA E. I-1Nc:sTRuAI First for Lee comes business school, next comes a position as secretary to an eligible bach- elor. When we hear her shout, For crying in a bucket! we'll know she's captured a tennis crown for her head and a ring for her finger. HELEN LILLIAN FAGERSTEN To go to business school next year and become a private sec- retary are Faggie's ambitions, and we know she'll dance right into them. When she becomes her boss's right-hand, we won- der if she'll greet him with Hi'ya Butch? ELAINE WINIFREID FAIRWEATHER To become a private secre- tary is Ginger's ambition, but meanwhile she plans to work and attend night school. Let your own conscience, not Jim- iny Cricket's , be your guide, Ginger, and you'll find time for your hobby, house planning. 'Q f? HAROLD H. FERDINAND. .lr. When you hear Hi honey! coming from a convertible coupe, you'll know it's Buck. I-Ie's go- ing to work his way through college with a job as a salesman. Les femmes were his prime in- terest at D. H. S. HELEN ANN FITZHENRY Fitzie's favorite pastime is keeping 4-K in an uproar and collecting rings.

FLOYD Next year Winnie plans to attend school and later obtain a job. Eventually she plans to become a. social secretary. Dur- ing high school she has enjoyed Mr. Peltier's civics class and playing basketball- really! DANIEL JOSEPH FLYNN After graduation Danny is going to work with no specific idea in mind. No matter what he may choose to do, we are sure his quiet personality will win him many friends and loads of success. MILDRED LOUISE FORCE After Milly finishes night school, she'll become a dental hygienist. Give us the address, Millyg we'll be around looking for your cheery smile when our molars start acting up! 1940 YEAR BOOK P099 13 PATRIVIA ANN lft IRR ESTICR Our loss will be the hospital's gain when good-natured Pat goes in training to become a nurse. All her patients will be so cheered by her humorous sayings that they will hate to leave. MAIUQARICT 5Hllll,lfY Fl lTTl,l'lll Fer Pete's sake, says Boots when you ask her why she is entering Perry's Kindergarten. Her pleasant disposition will make her beloved by all the children. Her hobbies are mod- eling, and collecting Ford cars. ANTIIUNY Wll,l,lAKl Fl'l,Yl When we hear everyone talk- ing about Guy Lombardo's new sax player, we'll know that Tony has joined the Royal Canadians. Soon after that, we will hear how Guy Lom- bardo has left his Royal Canadians to join Tony's orchestra. Wll,l REI7 WARRIVK ILARLIVK VVillie has spent most of his spare time building model air- planes. Next year he's going to an aviation school and learn to build real ones. 'I'here'll come a time when the foreign spies will go insane trying to steal his plans. Wll,l,lAAI S'l'ANl,liY GE! Ill! Ili Snapper will have to keep on the fairway if he is to become the president of the American Golfing Association. His golf links will have girl caddies to attract the duffers.

NANFY ELIZABETH GRAYES Writing notes is the hobby of little Lou, Mr. Clark's pet lpest?J She's going to become a commercial artist and paint the pink elephants she swears were on the wall at the senior play. It sounds, and she is, interesting. MARY FRANFES GRYTTNER Wicky, the Don Juan of the girls, likes hockey and football games and hopes to further her education and maybe her souvenir collection. Smooth is her favorite expression and smooth is she. ANNE Gl'll,BERT After a four-year stop at the University of North Carolina, Anne will become a commercial artist. If her advertising pic- tures equal her clever phrases, she'll be able to sell ice cream to Eskimos. DEDHAM H IGH SCHOOL ROBERT WlI,l,l.-XM GVSTA F144 JN When Robbie has attained his goal as a prosperous ac- countant, he'll have plenty of spare time for fishing. Here in D. H. S. he liked appliances with Mr. Wallace. fllflllifllf II. H.-XI,I. For gosh sakesl they call him Alkay for short. He is active in sports, a regular whiz at photography, and has his heart set on being a super in- surance salesman. GEORGE Wll,FRlil7 HARGREAYES Here comes VVilly with his Cornet. Sometime hence he may be teaching school children the scales. Until then, he will be quite nicely occupied with mu- sic, college, and his very clever Cartooning. Give us a toot on the tooter, VVilly. JOHN .l. HAYES Hazel plans to join the Navy and see the world-he'll leave a whole string of broken hearts behind him when he goes. Who wouldn't miss those eyes! On the high seas Jackie can't bel- low, Get off the road. SHIRLEY ELAINE HAZARD Shirl's going to saddle her horse and ride right into B. U. next fall.

She will go to junior college if she can bear to be separated from Issie after all these years, and eventually will become a good wife to some lucky man. JOHN EIDWARIJ HINES, .lr. Hinesy is going to attend college next year. From his record and reputation at D. H. S. we feel that he will be most successful in attaining his am- bition - to become a polyga- mist. .lE.-XNNETTE P.-X'l'RIf'IA HITVHINS Hello, Joe, what d'ya know? shouts our vivacious red-head. Well, we know Pat is going to Colby Junior College next year and will continue her hobby of bowling. Don't forget to watch the Bruins, Pat. THOMAS PAVI, HODGE Mustard. of Henry Aldrich fame, plans to enter Northeas- tern next fall and eventually become a lawyer.

Oh, heavens! would- n't it be fun to go to school all ever again and have Harriette guide our paint brushes? FRANK WILLIAM Hi IPKINS If Hop does as well in the business world as he did play- ing ping-pong here in D. H. S., he'll be a business magnate be- fore the rest of us have our eyes on the ball. .lAi'QI.'I'll,YN IIORXSBY Jack plans to go to Emman- uel for one year, then to the Massachusetts General Hospi- tal.

She will then go on to teaching in either kindergarten or pri- mary school. HELEN ALBERTA HUSSEY After Hookey finishes art school, she'll become a fashion illustrator and designer and plunge into the gay whirl of previews and style shows. Since she's a tennis fan, we're counting on her sports crea- tions to make Schiaparelli's latest look like middy blouses. AXITA MARIE IAIJONISI Honeychild is going to Bry- ant and Stratton next year and will be a model secretary when she comes out.

In order to create a state which will offer the most benehts to the greatest possible number, it is necessary that the citizens be men of principle, for the leaders come from the group. We, as citizens of the United States, must live up to a high standard. Furthermore, we must see to it that American youth is given every opportunity to develop its own character and to appreciate and evaluate the worth of others. We regret to say, that there has been an obvious lack of character in some con- spicuous leaders of our country. For instance, Mr. Thomas Pendergast recently ruled Kansas City to such an extent that nearly all of the business transactions were indirectly controlled by him. As a leading liquor dealer, he saw to it that any liquor bought there was purchased from him. Furthermore, Boss Pendergast was the owner of a sand and gravel company. Whenever there was any construction work undertaken in the state, his company always received the order for supplies and materials. In order to get an important public position, a person had to join the Pendergast machine and make a reputation as a good party worker. For a long time the Federal government tried vainly to prove his dishonesty. Eventually, authorities imprisoned him for evading the payment of his income tax. Because of the numerous offices and the frequent opportunities for illicit gains, large cities have commonly been the most favorable Held for the development of the boss and of machine control. W'e must remember the difference between the party leader and the party boss. Theodore Roosevelt made the distinction that the leader is one who fights openly for principles, and who keeps his possession of leadership by stirring the consciences and convincing the intellects of his followersng the boss is a man who does not gain his power by open means, but usually by secret means, and even by corrupt means. The boss makes no appeal either to intellect or conscience. His work is done chiefly behind doors, and consists chiefly in the use of that greed which gives in order that it may get. The spoils system constitutes the real source of power of the political boss. There are two phases of this system: first, the distribution of public oihces on a party basis rather than on the basis of meritg and second, the administration of public oihce for political profit and private gain. It is this second and less obvious aspect of the spoils system which has been the chief source of corruption in American politics. In such L1 case as in Kansas, where public affairs have been controlled by personal and private interests, representative government exists in form, but in fact .1 selfish invisible autocracy has usurped the place of the government authorized by the people. Now let us look at a criminal leader, a private citizen whose illegal actions in- fluenced many of our men in trusted public ofhces. This man was Al Capone, the leader of a gang, who was engaged in the liquor business during prohibition. I-Ie Page 28 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL kept himself out of prison by offering bribes to public officials in Chicago. Secure behind his bullet-proof vest, his gunmen, his cordon of attorneys, and his wall of alibis, Capone was beyond the law. After being arrested and questioned about two killings, he was released. Later when he was indicted for violation of the Prohibition l.aw in 1926, the indictment was quashed for lack of evidence. No one dared testify that this racketeer had committed murder. He built a sixty-five thousand dollar walled fortress on Palm Island, near Miami, Florida. Honest men patted him gingerly on the back, and said of him, Great fellow, Al. The intake of his racket organization was esti- mated at thirty million dollars a year. Hollywood glorified his career with miles of Hlm, and broadcast the United States gangster to the world. Al Capone, like Mr. Pendergast, was finally imprisoned at Alcatraz for not paying his income tax. It would be well to note that both these men were not convicted for a state offense but for a federal crime, and never for their worst offenses against society. Often citizens are also found to be corrupt. Not long ago a Secret Service Agent went into a store in Philadelphia to make a purchase. The sale amounted to one dollar and sixty-two cents, for which he tendered a hve dollar bill. Wheii the storekeeper placed the change on the counter, the Federal investigator noted a counterfeit one dollar bill. While continuing conversation, the agent noticed the storekeeper becoming very nervous, which seemed to indicate that the latter was passing the counterfeit intentionally. The agent then asked, Wlaat is the population of Philadelphia? He received the reply, About two to three million people.', Pulling his badge from his pocket, the agent said, Out of three million people why did you pick me on whom to pass a bad one dollar bill? The arrest followed immediately. This storekeeper in all probability was not criminally inclined, but was simply trying to get rid of bad money which had been passed on to him. ln doing so he showed weakness of character, induced perhaps by fear. A self-reliant man would have notified authorities as soon as he had found the bill. We cannot do much to reform adult character, but there is one solution to the problem, and that is for a democracy and its citizens to create an environment con- ducive to right living and to educate those who are still young enough to train. There are at least four obvious agencies through which this can be accomplished: the home, social agencies, the national government, and the school. It would be useless for any one of these organizations to work alone. All must work together, all must have our support. The planting of noble ideals in the youth of our country must first start in the home. The youth who is fortunate in having parents of high morals and a home with friendly, upright atmosphere is sure to start off on the right track. In the home, should come the first lessons in respect for authority, in respect for the rights and pos- sessions of others, and in loyalty to the group. There the child should be taught the sharing of responsibilities. It is true, however, that ideal conditions cannot always exist-due to unworthy parents, demoralization due to poverty, or to the unfortunate influences of the com- munity in which the family has settled. Children of such homes do not have the same advantages and opportunities which others have. There is an absence of right l94O YEAR BOOK Page 39 i I 0 had Poqe 40 direction or example and, therefore, outside influences must step in and meet the challenge. The second factor in meeting the need for character development is social agencies. These agencies are organized to make living conditions better, to improve the slum areas in our country, to deal with delinquents in such cases as parole and probation, to oiler solutions to domestic problems, and to provide jobs and recreation for the malad- justed. A very important establishment of this sort is Hull House, founded in one of the worst sections of Chicago, Illinois, by Jane Addams. On all sides of this building were the homes of the poorest people. Hull House welcomed them. In one part of the new building was a coffee shop where people could get food at low prices and where they could meet and taik together. Soon there was a fairly good library, and rooms for games. A home for working girls was provided. Clubs were formed for older boys and girls. In the evening the grown people were offered recreation and instruction. ln the summer a boys' camp was organized in the country. Stories of the wonderful work of Jane Addams spread all over the United States. Great men and women still come from all parts of the world to visit the settlement house, and today in every city and in many towns similar organizations are providing for the unfortunates and underprivileged a pleasant environment in which to develop cooperation, loyalty, and self-respect. The planning of social work and the coordination of it in relation to the whole community is assuming larger importance as time goes on. On us lies the responsibility of the future of such organizations. From us must come the support necessary to perpetuate the great work oi moral rehabilitation and .af guidance which these agencies are performing. The National Government is carrying out an extensive program to improve the conditions in the United States and to develop character in our youth. ln its attempt to improve the housing conditions and to reconstruct the slum areas, the government has passed many acts. In 1932, Congress avthorized the Reconstruction Finance Corporation which provided loans to corporations formed to rebuild the slum areas and to provide suitable housing for families with low incomes. Then again in 1935, the W'orks Progress Act made federal funds available to cities for housing and slum- clearance projects. Another important program of the National government is the CCC Camps which provide employment for young men in families on relief. The boys receive systematic training in connection with work projects. These jobs include building roads and telephone lines, construction of bridges, tcrracing, construction of check dams, and forest control work. The training has been helpful to the enrollees, since it has resulted in many finding employment. A man with a job is a happy man, a man with self-respect. Many of the camp members participate in informal group work, such as arts and crafts, music, dramatics, and other avocations. Cases are on record of boys who have left camp and have turned their hobbies into profitable full- time jobs. Not only do these men have a systematic training, but they also have L1 splendid environment created for them and are subject to a routine discipline from which they learn Ll respect for authority. The school is one of the most important agents in developing traits of character. I'irst comes punctuality. The pupil must be at school at a certain timcg play must cease at the ringing of the bellg lessons must be ready at the appointed hour. The pupil will become so accustomed to routine that the habit of punctuality will have DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL been unconsciously formed, not only will this habit be manifest in school, but also in every avenue of life. He will learn, too, that punishment must follow negligence and disobedience. One's whole career may be entirely altered by the failure to be punctual. Every high school student ought to feel especially grateful that, early in life, he has had the opportunity of forming that habit which is so closely interwoven with his future success. Secondly, accuracy is developed. A proposition in geometry is not demonstrated if the reasons for the various steps are not giveng a business letter is not mailable if a word is misspelled or if an error has been made in reading shorthand notes. Almost does not give the correct answer to the algebra problem, it must be perfect. For each case exactness is demanded. Every lesson in the high school demands accuracy. The pupil trained in this important trait in his youth will carry it with him all through life. Next, the high school is an important factor in awakening a love for what is true, beautiful, and good. The average pupil who is left to choose his own reading is likely to select literature that to a certain extent tends to deteriorate his character. Often times this is not due to the fault of the person but rather to ignorance. One of the chief aims of the high school is to teach the pupil to choose wisely. It introduces him to the best in literature. A student, when he has examined the works of recognized literary artists, has learned to distinquish the good book from the poor. As a result, he will have developed a discriminating mind. Self-conceit is undesirable, but self-reliance is necessary to one who wishes to be strong and useful. The self-reliant citizen is always an asset in a democracy. This is shown in the life of William H. Prescott, who became practically blind as the result of an accident. When he was compelled to give up law, he trained himself in history writing, a vocation that usually requires extensive reading. He persistently trained his memory until he could retain the equivalent of sixty pages. If it had not been for Prescott's self-reliance, he would have been a burden to society, instead of an example ot encouragement to those about him and also to future citizens. In addition, the school develops reliability, which implies truth and honesty. The more completely reliability is present in a democratic group, the greater the progress of the republic will be, We must use every means to speak and act the truth, and to be fair and honest in all our dealings. This tribute shows why Lincoln was a great American: All who really knew Abraham Lincoln believed in him. They knew him as a man of absolute honesty and straightforwardness of principle from which nothing could swerve him. It was the unquestioned faith in his honesty that gave him such a hold on the hearts and minds of the people. Nothing could shake their confidence in him. In school absolute honesty is impressed upon the students, for they are not allowed to receive help from others, but must rely upon themselves to get their work done, Participation in class activities develops reliability in the student, inasmuch as he alone will be blamed or praised for the success of the work which he has promised to do. ln school one must pay attention and concentrate on the task assigned. If this trait is well impressed, the student will be prepared to meet life. Self-control is as important as self-reliance, because he who is strong in positions of trust, steadfast in purpose and calm under all circumstances will make a good demo- cratic leader. He can control situations and can lead others through difficulties and dangers because of his ability to control himself. The follower also who is able to control himself is one who can become most co-operative with a wise and steady leader. Self-control prevents offense to companions, it promotes peace-making rather than peace-breaking. Good sportsmanship is developed through school contacts, this brings about a fine spirit and does much to remove jealousies, bickerings, and hatreds. A good sportsman has a high sense of honor in dealing with his opponents, he appreciates justice, he ad- mires the good loser as well as the good winner, and he enjoys an honest game for the sake of the fun rather than for the glory of winning. If all the members of a republic could cultivate the quality of good sportsmanship, difficulties of democratic living would be greatly diminished. In our democracy the law of kindness is a necessity because of the great diversity of opinion, of education, of national heritage, of race, and of religion among the people. To make it possible for the members of this democratic group to live and work together with sympathy, with effectiveness, and with joy, it is necessary that each should seek to understand sympathetically the otherls point of view. The first lesson in tolerance comes when the child leaves the home and enters school. Fellow feeling promotes union in endeavor, and in union lies the strength of a nation. W'hen George Washington wrote his Farewell Address, he stated that when a free people make their own government and their own laws, it is their duty to support and obey these institutions. Today, as then, it is the strict duty of each member of the democratic society to abide by the laws, to recognize the authority that is set up to enforce them and to obey all of them without distinction. Obedience to school regulations is training for obedience to regulations of the state. The magnificent virtue of loyalty puts to shame everything that is mean and cowardly. The pupil loyal to his school becomes the citizen, faithful, brave, zealously watchful for the welfare of the nation. The school then, as we have seen, should be a training field for the kind of citizenry that this country sorely needs if we are not to sink deeper into the mire of inefficiency, self-indulgence, graft, and crime in which we find ourselves today. T With conditions such as exist in our country, we cannot have a true democracy. Technically it may classify as such, but in practice it is not. It is not the kind of nation our fathers intended it to be. We are far from having attained life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in any true sense. It is our duty, if we are to be good citizens, to strive to reform American politics and society and to make our democracy, as our founders expected it to be, the finest country in the world and a model where all others could seek inspiration. Page 42 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL CHANGING FRONTIERS A N NA lull Br Ntnictris By what name do the historians and geographers of today refer to Christopher Columbus? Some call him an adventurer, others, an explorerg I wish to point him out to you as a pioneer, the first pioneer in all American history. Almost 450 years ago, he landed on the unknown shores of this hemisphere, thereby disproving the general belief of the time that the earth was flat. If Columbus had not had the courage to act on his convictions instead of waiting perhaps many years for another person to come forward to carry out the dream, our development might have been delayed by just that much. He led the way for European culture to come to this wilderness in- habited only by Indians and wild animals. However, those who were to follow were at first comparatively few in number. To find people who were willing to give up their already established routine of life and start anew in a venture whose dangers far outnumbered its chances for success, was not an easy thing. But again it was the pioneering souls who presented themselves and crossed the untraveled Atlantic Ocean in ships that today would not be allowed to sail on the sea. They landed on virgin territory, dense forest regions which harbored their worst enemy, the savage Indian. These natives burned and robbed the houses that were built only after months of hard labor on the part of the pioneers, in clearing the land and then using the felled trees to build cabins. Often the families were killed or taken prisoners. But in spite of all this and other hardships, more settlers came over to America and towns began to rise through their persistent efforts. From the first isolated beginnings at Plymouth and Jamestown, all the way along the eastern coast, the frontier was cleared and settled. But after that had been completed, there were still brave and hardy people who recognized the immediate challenge and the future rewards to be found just beyond the Alleghenies and then west of the Mississippi. There was rich land ready to be cultivated, mountains abounding in mineral resources, and still farther on unimaginable stands of lumber. In spite of innumerable hardships endured on the way, their covered wagons followed the compass or the faint trails through the wilderness. There were still Indian attacks from all sides, bitter weather, isolation, and lack of supplies. After they arrived and staked out their claims, there was again land to be cleared, houses to be built, towns to be settled, and the government of the East carried over into the Wfest and adapted to the unprecedented conditions of life. Out of the tiny settlements inhabited by the pioneers of years before, arose cities and states inhabited by United States citizens, all together making this country the best example thus far of agricul- tural, commercial, democratic, and social advancement. We, the young pioneers of present day America about to enter the world as aspirants for success, can learn much from the example of the first settlers. We too have fron- tiers to cross, some entirely new in our time and some crossed before us by our fathers and their fathers before them. We can no longer look ahead to careers in the traditional professions-doctor, lawyer, teacher-for these and many others are overcrowded today. It is now necessary to find and develop new fields. Never imagine that all the possible lines of work have been discovered, nor that any of today's occupations has reached the highest point of efiiciency. l94O YEAR BOOK Page 43 Page 44 Television, for example, which is now in its first stages, offers a limitless oppor- tunity for young people who want to work in an unexplored region. Photography, a hobby of many today, has possibilities of development in hitherto undreamed-of ways which might turn out to be the life work of some. Although we have been oblivious of it, there may be right in our own surroundings a new kind of business just waiting to be discovered. An example of a place in the world made for themselves is a research institution founded by two young men, which gives information regarding the time and the place to look for jobs, in what seasons certain businesses are flourishing, what employers are looking for help, and which of the numerous small technical schools springing up all over the country are really reliable and which make unfounded claims to place all their students in jobs. There are today many new lines of research in the betterment of health. In the beginnings of medicine the chief aim of doctors was to cure diseases of which they had little idea of the source. Then many turned their attention to cause and prevention, and such diseases as smallpox came completely under our control. Now many others, such as yellow fever, diphtheria, and even pneumonia, yield to the steady research of the scientist, but no one can even begin to predict how far it is possible to prevent, to relieve, and to cure sickness and disease. The held of dietetics is hardly more than surveyed, and almost entirely new are electrical therapeutics, dermatology, and other specialized lines which are developing from discoveries and inventions made since the days of pioneers. There is still much to be done to improve living conditions in cities and crowded centers of the country, the cleaning up of slum districts, establishment of nurseries and playgrounds for children who do not have the advantages of good food and fresh air, elimination of the ugliness and dirt, the crudeness and discomfort of our big cities, and even our small towns and villages-all these are desperately needed today. One of the biggest frontiers for young people to contend with is the problem of government. The proof that there is a need for devoted labor is shown by the existence of dictatorships in foreign countriesg by graft, inefficiency, public debt, and the bung- ling treatment of our chronic depression, for instance, in our own country. Here is an undertaking which demands the cooperation of many, but the work of one can do much toward the betterment of existing conditions. Such undertakings require courage comparable to that of the pioneers of old. Although they needed physical courage to withstand untold dangers and hardships, they also needed the courage to embark on enterprises which no man had ever dreamed of, much less tried out before. They landed on territory uninhabited by white people, without any assurance that they would be able to survive there. It was a gamble, and the need and the challenge for taking such great risks exist as much as ever today. W'e must strike out into untried paths with no guarantee of success, no comfortable assur- ance that all we need to do is to follow precedents and we will surely arrive at our goals. To be sure, we do not need to learn the ways of the woods, the wild game, the Indians, but we must persevere in tracking down the needs of our country, the means by which we can meet them, and the approaches that will make our possible services known and attractive and accepted. Another quality of the pioneers which we need as much today as then is unselfish- ness. There was very little personal and material gain for our forefathers in this coun- DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL try while it was in its infancy. They did not live to reap the benefits of their hard labor. They planted and sowed that others might enjoy the harvest. Many of them, if they had stayed in Europe, could have been wealthy or at least living in security. Here everyone at first lived on a humble level. They all had to do almost the same work, live in the same kind of homes, suffer the same hardships, and face the same dan- gers. In spite of all this they felt that they were accomplishing something and contri- buting something to make America the kind of land in which their descendants could enjoy a richer life, a greater freedom, and a fulfillment of their own dreams. NVith the completion of the settlement of this country, the invention of all sorts of conveniences, and the acquirement of such widespread luxuries and such a high stan- dard. of living as the world has never witnessed before, comes the feeling of security which encourages either complacency or selfish ambition. Too many of us are either perfectly satisfied or have as our only goal further increase of personal comfort. So many people are content with material possession or merely worldly enjoyment that they lose sight of the satisfaction that can be derived from serving their contemporaries or the generations still to come. We should never rest content until every American has the chance to develop his talents, contribute to the life of the community, and thus make the sacrifices of our founders to have been rewarded in proportion to their unselfish- ness and devotion. cfikkn 1940 YEAR BOOK Poge 45 C D155 Poem THREE GATEWAYS GRACE MATTHEW I As together class of '40 exits through the schoolroom door, Faces them a narrow highway which reveals what lies before.

Maybe the girls are just naturally smarter. At any rate 1940's honor graduates, like 1939's, were all girls. There were thirteen of them. Linnea Engstrom, Gertrude MacMillan, Barbara O,Neil, Polly Palmer, Helen Pettingell, Ann Scanlon, and XValtraud Yolkmann got their high marks in the college courseg Rita Des Roches, Helen Fagersten, and Dorothy Gourley got theirs in the secretarial courscg and Rosemary Venis got hers in the ac- counting course. To be honor graduates, these girls, in their last three years here, had to have no mark below a C, no more than five C's in all their subjects, and no more than three C's in any one subject. Anna DeBenedictis was chosen by the senior class as one honor speaker at gradu- ation, and Dorothy Gourley was chosen by the faculty as the other. Maureen Close, Helen Fagersten, and Helen Pettingell wrote the class prophecyg Rosemary Venis and Polly Palmer wrote the class history, and XValtraud Volkmann and Rita DesRoches wrote the class will. Linnea Engstrom directed the class day play.

Everything about it was good. In the first place the class's executive committee had a bit of good luck in getting permission to stage Wflmf a Life by Clifford Goldsmith. If theyid tried a week earlier, they couldn't have had it. Then there was the sale of tickets. Mr. Howard Bottomley's debate with jimmy Steeves in assembly put the finishing touches on the work he and Rosemary Venis had already done, and the tickets were all sold a week in advance. There was the program book, managed by Dorothy O'Brien, with the assistance of Augustus Masciarelli, Ann Curran, and Louis DeVirgilio, under the direction of Mr. Daniel Keegan: and there were W'illiam Bowman, Harold Ferdinand, Charles Ingalls, Dorothy O'Brien, Mary Robertson, and Louis DeVirgilio, who led the list of advertising salesmen. There were the posters of Mr. Fred A. Clark's art students. There were Miss Mary Sweeney's at- tractive ushers. They were all good. And of course there was the cast. They were good. Good? They were perfect! Paul Hodge, as Ileury Aldrirfm, had a triumphal evening. From his hrst visit to the principal! olhce down to his final speech to Barbara he had the audience in con- vulsions. Charles Clapp was Mr. Brz1tfl1'Vy, the principal, and we'd hate to have him catch us fooling in study hall. As far as that goes, we wouldn't want to be caught by Helen lfagersten's Miss EXQQIFNIUII, either. Of all teachers, though, save us from Mr. Palterswz, the ferocious history teacher played by john Hines, who already has a professional touch to his acting. Beverley XVoodward's Min Pike wouldn't be too pleasant to have in class, either. ln fact, those members of the cast gave such vivid portrayals that we thank Heaven for our D. H. S. faculty. DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Central High had some nice teachers, though. Mr. Nelson, as john Hayes played him, was the only adult who understood Henry, and Ann Scanlonls Miss Sbea was human enough to sympathize with Barbara and beautiful enough to make Mr. Nelson tall in love with her, although Irving Nichols' Bill rushed into the oflice so frequently there wasn't much time for courting. Polly Palmer's Miss W'bee1er was highly amusing, particularly when she assisted the matter-of-fact Deteefizle Ferguson, played by George Obuchon. XVe didn't see much of Ann Curran's Miss jobnson, but every time we did see her we howled. Sally Cannata made a particularly appealing Mrs, Ala'rieb, and James Karem as Mr, Veebiffo, handled some fine comedy lines with real effectiveness. Incidentally, whosever daughter Natalie Dewar played in blackface, it was noi Mr. Veebiffrfs. Jeannette Petts, as Barbara Pearson, was so lovely that we can easily understand I-Ienr5 s infatuation, in fact, we can almost forgive that villain George Bigelow, done expertly by Russell Webb, for stealing the band instruments to get a tuxedo to impress her. Nancy Graves, as Gerfie, consistently pleased the audience with her attempt to sell tickets. The other student roles were played by Barbara Marsh, Dorothy O'Brien, Barbara O'Neil, Joan Williams, and William Salamy. Miss Doris Grant again demonstrated that the plays she coaches are distinctly and definitely something special. Mr. Joseph Ryan again assisted Miss Grant, and Arthur Turner, chairman, Fred Molander, Charles Colburn, and Theodore Pettingell handled the lights, the bells, and the curtain. Crass- Day Play For its class-day play, 1940 gave Idlings of fbe King, by Erle Remington, an amusing production that particularly delighted those in the audience who had studied Tennyson's Idyils. Miss Olga von Schantz, the adviser of the Dramatic Club, coached the play. The plot centered around the activities of King Arfbnr, Presiilenf of ibe Round fable Wlaisf Club and lbe Canzelof Country Club, played by Arthur Johnston. Guine- zere, played by Polly Palmer, kept being provoked by Arfbnr's actions, but Irving Nichols, as Lancelot, saved her from going mad. Lancelot believed in the great ma- gician Meriin, played by Edward Kohut, while Arfbur received support from his faith- ful page, played by James Steeves. Trouble really started when Theodore Pettingell, as Modreil, attacked the castle. This wasn't so bad, but when his attack included the golf course Arlbnr flew into a rage. After an unsuccessful attempt to call out the guard, he realized that there was only one thing to do and so he took his saxophone and drove Mrnlrrd away with music. Of course this saved the day, and everyone lived happily ever after. 1940 YEAR BOOK Page 65 'Q 3 FI:f'lN'l' RHVST Hiilifwt Luk--, Vlixirles 4'i.i-mall, Mgii'jo1'ie1 Iron-, Hilflegziril xvlllklllllllll, Eileen f'hzii'lziiirl, Vriseillzi f':ii'lsfiii, .Xnnv K+-Ilehir, .lnni I'e-ltingell, XVz11'reii XV:-Iloff, Fl'l'l0'4ifl1II'P Hiuizife-ii, 'I'honi:is Iiorriv.

O1'z'f1e,i'f1'i1 Popular music, martial music, and classical musicf4this year's orchestra showed skill at all of them. The twenty-nine musicians, under the direction of Mr. Robert NV. Gibb, entertained the audience at the senior play, the alumni reunion, numerous assemblies, and both the high school and junior high school graduations with pieces ranging from The Dflllkl'-X Seiviifzile and Sfrike Illl ilu- Band to Mr. Gibb's own Car- nival CJZ'l'l'flll't' and the Marcfi of flu' Toi'i'mfom from f:lll'Il1l'll. This year five of its members were sent to the Massachusetts Music Festival at .jordan Hall, Those playing in the symphony orchestra there were Priscilla Carlson and Milon Cluff, violinistsg Robert Puff, clarinetistg and Clifford Boyle and john Bavicchi, trombonists. The band, with four ultra-attractive drum majors, played at all the home foot- ball games. At the Norwood game junior drum majors trained by Mr. Alohn Connors displayed their skill. It is hoped that the band will play at the out-of-town games next season. From the high school orchestra a seven-piece dance band originated. Under the leadership of Clifford Boyle, this b.ind has been in existence eight months. It consists of lfdward Ruel, first saxophonist: Robert Puff, second tenorg Angelo Manna, third saxophonist: XX'ilfred Hargreaves, trumpet, Clifford Boyle, trombone, XY'alter Titus, drums, and Charles Cornell, piano. The Rhythm-Makers, as they are called, have had engagements in neighboring towns, at Dedham High School dances, and at several local entertainments. As they are one of the few organizations of this kind in the country, they have h.id the privilege of making a series of recordings, Their band features soloists and hopes to present a vocalist-within a short time.

Ryan, was the major feather in the 1940 Mirror staff's hat. It happened during the two weeks that Mr. Ryan was out sick, and there weren't any libel suits and there v.'eren't any misplaced headlines. Flushed with this success, the seniors retired early from the management to let the junior staff members get the extra experience necessary to push the Mirror clear to the top in interscholastic competition. Their last ofhcial act was to attend the New England Interscholastic Press Association convention at Boston University, where, led by Editor Theodore Braaten, they made friends with the stafis of other school papers. ln the afternoon, Anna DeBenedictis took a group through the Christian Science Monitor plant. That this year's Mirror had a firm financial standing was largely due to the eflorts of Ginny Bridgham, who convinced innumerable advertisers of the value of its columns. Ellen Mahan, as business manager, kept these accounts carefully, while fxrthur Renzetti, the circulation manager, did a land-ollice business every second Wednesday. On the news end, Pat Hitchins worked exuberantlyg George Obuchon never failed on the sports page, Ann Scanlon's family considered moving nearer to the school those afternoons when Ann got home at S:-Hg and Rosemary Venis even dreamed of headlines. Grace Matthew was a careful copyreader, and Rita Gillis collected a record number of exchanges. Barbara 0,Neil kept a thorough check on all possible news sources, and Dorothy Rawley kept watch on the alumni. Barbara Hurley, the ed- itorial writer, Doris Moran, the assistant advertising manager, Wfilfred I-largreaves, the cartoonist, and John Bavicchi, Charles Colburn, and Joe Canning, the photogra- phers, all assisted in making the paper one to be justly proud of. 1940 YEAR BOOK P099 67 -., wc- e,,,,,,tv,,,,,, Y 'V q N. t s ew-W-H--W 2 FRONT ROVV: Rosemzxry Maseiarelli, f':I'l1PFtlHE' Blakney, Tl'6'14S1lI'PI' H irriette Holcomb, President Marilyn Rrozlflhurst, Sec-retury Ruth Puff, Bwitrirw Vhristian, Jose- phine Foley, HAVK HOVVQ llilllilfll BIa1'1'oiie, VV:ilTrz1ufl lsiflllilllllllll, Mztrszueriti Mm-l':ilIuni, Awlvise-r Fr,-il .-X.

Meeting every Monday afternoon under the direction of Mr. Fred A. Clark, the club has turned the art room into a gay carnival in which charcoal, tempera, and conversation have played equally important roles. The club had about fifteen members. Marilyn Broadhurst was president, Har- riette Holcomb, treasurer: and Ruth Puff, secretary. The dues were live cents a week, and were used to pay for trips to art museums, for art supplies, and for outdoor sketching excursions, the most successful of which was to Houghton's Pond. Landscapes in water colors, charcoal sketches, still life, modeling, handeraft work, and work in tempera-these comprised some of the creative work done by the club this year. It was generally felt that the club lilled an important gap in the school's activities and it is expected that in future years even more successful work will be done in its meetings. At any l'.ltC the club is sure to continue as a center of amiable and enjoyable activity.

Paul Hodge was elected judge. and Harold Ferdinand had charge of the trafhc squad. john Hayes was chosen president, Loftus McGuire, vice-president: Ernestine Blakney, secretary, and Lucy Taylor, treasurer. As in other years, Miss Margaret Boynton was faculty adviser. To raise money the council sold pencils with hockey and basketball schedules printed on them. Thomas Clarke and Jean Podolske sold the most. With these profits and the proceeds from their Sadie Hawkins Dance, the Council contributed a sum of money to the dramatic club and gave a scholarship to a worthy graduate. Six members represented the council at the Eastern Division of the Associated Body of the Student Councils. Those attending were Edward Keelan, John Hayes, Loftus McGuire, Jean Podolske, Janet Northrop, and Robert Davidson. As their last activity, the council sponsored a comic strip dance which was ad- vertised by a full period assembly. Many attended dressed as their favorite comic strip characters. 1940 YEAR BOOK Page 71 Ill- I 4? 'fi' fi!! 'Q 1 Fl i- x . .NX Q. 1 ni 1' Qu -O .v tw W . gl lx I QL ix :N 11 ,. s 2 I 5 1 59 .

Fooffiuff Team A total of eight defeats and two victories can indicate only one thing--the 1940 team was in the depression that follows highly successful seasons. In spite of the scores, this season was just as interesting as the previous ones. True, there was no Still' to make 50-yard runs unassisted, but there was a group working together and giving a beautiful display of teamwork. V Dedham was extremely unlucky during its entire season. Victories almost within grasp were snatched away by some seemingly small detail, such as the minor penalty in the Malden Catholic game which caused a touchdown to be called back. Malden Catholic gained a victory that day by just that one touchdown -6 to 0. Again in the North Quincy game fate seemed to frown upon Dedham. An early lead of 7 to 6 was established, only to have North Quincy win the game, 13 to 7, because of costly fumbles. One of the most evenly contested matches was with Needham. Two attempts to score were missed because the periods ended. The score was 6 to 0 in favor of Needham. The team's efforts were rewarded when they defeated Abington 7 to 0 in a tight, hard-fought game. Another tough game to lose was the one with Wfatertown. The team had battled its way down to the two-yard line, but because of a penalty did not score. The final score was 13 to 0. Dedham's other victory was over Milton, 7 to 0. The rest of the games were lost by margins of only one touchdown: Boston College High ll to 6, Natick 12 to 6, and Norwood 6 to U.

For the second consecutive season Dedham had the best defensive record in the league. Ed Robbins got the honor this year of having the lowest number of goals scored against him. Captain Frank Alward, one of the leaguels highest scorers, Len O'Brien, John lcally, and Bob Davidson were the forwards representing Dedham on the Eastern All-Star Team, and Bill Logan and Ed Robins were Dedham's defensive repre- sentatives. Probably the hardest and most exciting game played was that with Brookline High, which had gone undefeated in three previous starts. Coach DeSalvo's team started the game determined to win and attacked the Brookline goal steadily but unsuccessfully until Davidson broke loose on a solo and beat the Brookline goalie for tht first score. The league champions soon tied it up, but Alward, taking a pass from Len O,Brien, shot home the winning goal. Victories were scored over Somerville, 2 to 0, Brookline, 2 to 1, Natick, 2 to 1, and Lexington, 3 to 0. Tie games were played with Hudson, Malden, Natick, and Brockton. The losses were to Malden, 3 to 1, and to Lexington, l to U. L In a post-season non-league game, Dedham's first team was defeated by Noble and Greenoughg however, the second team avenged the defeat. 1940 YEAR BOOK Page 75 c lf1i:rN'I' HHXV: l'IiIwzii'4l AleN:i1igliI, Holi'-it Kimbnll, I-Iilwairil llut-l, V114 'ziptziiu Jose-1111 Nagle, 4'i--Vaiiitiiiii .Xiitlii-:iff l':ilf-imo, Loftus Milltlire.

Although not stand- ing at the top of the league at the conclusion of the year, Dedham was leader at the half-way mark, but lost several close games to be edged out of final consideration. It is interesting to note that two games were lost to Norwood High by the margin two points and one game to Framingham by the same margin. The latter won the Class B tournament quite easily, which proves that Dedham was close to the top flight. Ifurther, Dedham defeated Needham once, and the latter was chosen as an entry in the Tech tournament. Seniors Palermo, Nagle, Atkins, and Ruel, shone on the court while John Spiridigliozzi and Captain-elect Kimball contributed outstanding bits. The second team was quite successful, winning more than half its games.

CI1'1'f.v' fzyfvffnzff 'llwlflz One little point kept the 1940 girls' basketball team from being the school cham- pions. It happened when they were juniors. They had tried as freshmen, under the leadership of Peg Tully, to defeat the three upper classes, but of course freshmen haven't much chance, and the older girls' fancy pivoting and guarding were too much for them. They practiced long and earnestly as sophomores under Captain Alice Recupero, hut, although their green tinge was fading considerably, they still eouldn't make the grade. Then as juniors with Pauline Schutze leading them they almost did it: they almost beat the seniors. The final score was 39 to 38. It seems that was their last chance. This year, in spite of the fact that they were seniors, in spite of W'innie I'loyd,s able leadership, they met their XY'.lICl'lOO in the girls of the class of '41. 1940 YEAR BOOK P099 77 I li4IN'l' IUPXVZ II'-hert f':ii'tv-r, .Ii-roiiw Marv-1, Rohr-rt Ivztviwlson, Louis IPeYi1'gilio, Irlrin-st Iiosselinsin, I':iul H1-flirt-, Vatptaiiii I-Irlwzirnl Keelzin, Ili:-liaird Slirc-vi-, rllhfffi' fTlll'I' Hiwiziteii, Iiielizirtl Smith, Iiilwin Mzirzinzik.

Thief 'l'ei1111 Lcd by Captain Edward Keelan, the 1940 track team came through its indoor season without a single defeat in dual competition. 'W'eymouth, XY'atertown and B. C. High were the unsuccessful opponents who fell before Coach Edwin Peterson's well balanced squad. It also finished near the top of the list in the Northeastern, the Andover, the State, and the Bowdoin interscholastic meets. The highly successful season was augmented by an overwhelming defeat of Dedhanfs arch rival, Norwood, hy the score of S9 2-5 to 17 l-3. This was the worst defeat that any Norwood team has ever been forced to suflier in the long rivalry between the track teams of the two schools. ln this meet Captain Ed Keelan broke the high jump record and Dick Shreve broke the six-hundred-yard record. These new records for the gym will prohably stand for years to come. Captain lid Keelan was an excellent leader for the team. He excelled in the high jump, the hroad jump and hurdles. The versatile Paul Hodge was outstanding in the high jump, the hroad jump, and dash. lle was either the high scorer or the second high scorer in every dual meet. XYhat he lacked in physical malveup he easily offset hy courage, spirit, and determination. Other seniors who scored consistently were lid hl.ll'7ll17ili and Boh Carter in the three-hundred, Ted Braaten in the thousand and -john Baviechi in the shot-put. .loc Nagle and Bill McLaren contrihuted points in the shot put and hroad jump. The highlight of the season was the hanquet given to the team by Captain l:d's parents after the Norwood meet. On this occasion Coach Peterson was pre- sented with a traveling set hy the boys.

Bzlyfbzlff Team As the year book goes to press, Dedham stands tied with Norwood and Milford for first place in the Bay State League. Although no great hopes were held for Ded- ham's baseball chances at the beginning of the year, the team opened the season with an 8 to 2 victory over Milford and then kept right on pleasantly surprising its followers. Bill Salamy's handling of Peter Morrissc-y's curves, the infield work of Jimmy Karem and Tony Palermo, and the entire team's fine batting were the highlights of the first game. ln its second game, Dedham had a six-run lead against Natick until the fifth inning, when pitcher Fran Alward began to lose his control. Pete Morrissey again went into action and Dedham finally won, 10 to 9. This game cost Dedham the services of Bill Salamy, however, when a foul tip caused him a compound disloca- tion of the right thumb. Joe Cocci hit the season's first home run in the next game, a wild affair in which Dedham beat Walpole 21 to 2. Cocci had gone in at third base after Tony Karem moved to catcher to replace Salamy. Next, Dedham lost a close one to Framingham, 3 to 2g then one to Walpole, 16 to 12, one to Milford, 12 to 4g and two to Needham, 12 to 7, and 10 to 4. The first Norwood game was called off because of darkness in the ninth inning with the score tied 7 to 7. Captain Jimmy Karem, second base, headed the line-up for the Milford game. Then came Bill Salamy, catcher, Pete Morrissey, pitcherg Carl Orcutt, first base, Tony Palermo, short-stopg Tony Karem, third base, Bob McDonough, left Field, Jimmie Sarro, center Held, and Joe Nagle, right field. 1940 YEAR BOOK Page 79 Pogo 80 I-'IIUXT RHXV: .If-sf-1111 Alnstziiiiliwzi, Vliestei' Sarif11wr',fz, .Iaines O'Le:iry, lieorgfl Nelson, .Iohn 1.111151 HAVK IUIXV: 1'Zr1w:ir41 Kr-f-Inn, .lohii 1-'emit'-y, Samuel Houston.

The year book went to press shortly afterward, and at that time Coach D. D. Sullivan's boys seemed to have an excellent chance of winning the championship of the Bay State League. Certainly such golfers as Ed Ruel, Ed Keelan, Bill George, Francis Houston, and Captain Dave Sullivan, who is unquestionably one of the finest junior golfers in the state, are not ordinarily found in high schools. The team was scheduled to play home and home matches with XX'estboro, Pram- ingham, XVellesley, Marlboro, and Natick. On June 3 the team that won the league championship was to meet Vforcester North High School in a play-off match, the winner of which was conceded a good chance of being state champion. The Dedham High golf teams have improved each year since the sport was rein- troduced in 1938. ln that year eighteen candidates reported, and the six regulars and four alternates who were selected finished in third pl.ice. The next year twenty-six candidates reported and the team finished in second place. This year thirty-six boys tried to qualify for the team. This increasing interest in golf shows that the sport definitely has a place in the school's athletics and augurs well for the future. Mr. Sullivan, who has coached the team since 1938, is enthusiastic in his praise of the boys' spirit and sportsmanship. Those who played on this year's team were Edward Keelan, XVilliam George, Ed- ward Ruel, -Iohn lfeeney, ,lohn 1,ally, Edward McNaugl1t, Francis Houston, George Nelson, Chester Sandborg, james O'I.eary, and ,loseph Mastadrea. David Sullivan was captain and James Steeves, manager. DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL I 'V' if W ff!! 'X L A U. ,fx . .wa -..Pk Dun. QM, 1 V' V X V-Q... 8. ,W A .
