For many mothers it was a harrowing ordeal, accompanied by screaming, whining, pulling, bawling, and stamping of feet; for others it was a proud day when their little ladies and gentlemen, about to embark upon the ship of education, behaved so admirably. At all events, these children in the first grades of Leominster, 582 of them, were those who, had they stayed in school and passed every grade each year, would now con- stitute the Class of 1932. But by 1929 the number left in the class was 205, of whom 166 were graduated from the ninth grade. There are about 116 graduates now in June, 1932, and that is all that remains of the original 582. These figures, of course, do not account for those who started in school before or after 1920 or those who came to Leominster from other places. The Class of 1932 is unusual in its “firsts.” Those who were graduated from the ninth grade remember that they were in the first class to graduate from the new Junior High School. It was the first class to run its Senior Prom before the Junior Prom of the same year ; the first to choose a motto before the Senior year, and to have that motto on a sign hung up in the assembly hall several months before graduation; the first to have modern folder diplomas; and the first to run its reception in a manner not to be a public free-for- all fight. In the fall of 1929 the Class of 1932 entered high school, and took for its class colors red and white, those of the class just graduated. Soon came football days, and four mem- bers of the class were successful in the big struggle for recognition. They were Gyp Pen- nery, Ray Carr, Warren Bentley, and Axel Johnson. Neither basketball, baseball, nor track had outstanding representatives from the class that year. 1930 saw the following names added to the list of football men: Brown, Rand, Mc- Donald, LaPierre, Caswell, and Arris. Leahy and Rand upheld class honors in basketball; Leahy, Smith, D’Onfro, and Capone were baseball men. Brown shone in track, while Bent- ley and Pennery rolled up a few points. The football stars of fall, 1931, were Bentley, McDonald, Arris, Pennery, Johnson, Leahy, Tata, LaPierre, and Caswell. Brown left L. H. S., and Carr and Rand were out because of age. Leahy and Lane starred in basketball; the heroes of the diamond were Capone, Smith, and D’Onfro; the track men were Pennery, Bentley, Killay, Dupee, and Arris. In the road race, April 19, Strypek broke the tape first and Leahy came in second. The Junior Class officers were: president, Ray Carr; vice-president, Rena Mackay; secretary, Everett McDonald; treasurer, Simo ne Fife. The Junior Prom of that year was one of the most successful proms ever held at the high school. The Senior Class officers were: president, Gyp Pennery ; vice-president, Rena Mackay; secretary, Everett McDonald; treasurer, Anne Burdett; marshal, Bill McAulay. The Senior Prom was a very colorful affair, and the snow-man, snowballs, and rainbow decora- tions made a big hit. “Where were you on the night in question, April 15th?” “Why, at the Senior play, of course!” It was Green Stockings. The players were Mara Trafton, Malcolm Johnson, Janet Wheeler, Kenneth Killay, Rosamond Sobleton, Barbara Orcutt, Anne Burdett, Donald McCaffrey, Alec Stein, Gyp Pennery, Bill McAulay, and Paul Rand. Mrs. Burgess, nee VanAmburg, directed this play through many difficulties, and the results were certainly worth the effort. The Class of 1932 is comparatively small, but good things come in small packages, and we all agree that this is the best class yet.

Upon returning from Paris to Leominster in the summer of 1942, I immediately went to see one of my old friends, Agnes Hackett, or “Hack” for short. She was recuperating after a long “case” in which she was tremendously interested. She greeted me with open arms, and we started at once to talk about old times. “Talking about class mates, guess who drove me over here! Carl Lanza.” “Oh, yes,”’ remarked ‘‘Hack,” “he owns the checker cabs in town.”’ “Hack” interrupted, “What a coincidence! But did you know Theresa Sullivan and Harold Filmore are piloting aeroplanes ?” “No, I didn’t know that,” I replied, “but guess what! While attending a party in Paris, I found that two of my fellow guests were Janet Wheeler and Irma Sanford; the former was one of the highest paid surgical nurses abroad and the latter was purchasing her trousseau.” “T received a letter from Rosamond Sobelton last week,” ““Hack” remarked. “You know she is a dietitian in New York and is doing splendidly. She wrote that Mara Trafton is engaged to a Yale man.” At this precise moment, the door-bell interrupted us. Our eyes bulged when Fred Strypeck handed Agnes a telegram. She tore open the envelope and read, ‘Arriving on Pero.) F.M. train.” ; Serambling to my feet, I exclaimed, “‘Who’s it from?” “Pennery and Killay,” she answered. “Why, ‘Hack,’ it’s nearly that time now.” We hurried into our wraps and a short time later we were greeting our class president of ’32 and his buddie, Killay, a “cub” reporter.and doctor of osteopathy exclusively. Their suggestion for dinner and the theatre was met with cries of delight. During dinner our subject of conversation was the big accident. Probably our readers have surmised that the participant was Edward Bailey, a well-known painter, who, taking one of his famous corners, carried Beatrice Potvin’s left front fender along with him. She has already taken the case to court and Alec Stein is her lawyer. Upon arriving at the theatre we were surprised—and yet were we surprised—to find Edith Gardner selling tickets! In the lobby, behind a prettily decorated booth, was Bar- bara Orcutt selling candy. “Why are we meeting so many of our old class mates?” I asked in surprise. “Where have you been?” asked Barbara. “Our graduating class is giving this play tonight for the benefit of charity. At our last alumni meeting we also decided to have a class reunion at the Country Club. Here is a list of names. I was going to send it to you; now I won’t have to. What luck!” We proceeded into the theatre to be confronted by ushers; namely, Katherine Regan and Mary Dufort, who led us to our seats. After we were seated, my glance wandered to the front row. There sat Bettie Harris all alone. It seemed strange that she was unat- THE MAGNET tended, but I soon learned that Donald McCaffrey was master of ceremonies. Looking a little to my right, I recognized Albina Grinkis, who is owner of a cheese factory in Cuba. She was accompanied by Margaret Joy, who had recently come into a fortune. Directly behind them sat Joseph Gargulinski, proprietor of a large produce company. A few seats over were Alvin Bourne, owner of a chain of shoe stores, and his wife. Two rows ahead of me were two old classmates, Dorothy May and Arthur Leahey. They are employed by John Despotopolus, owner of the National Banana Company. At this juncture, our master of ceremonies came in from behind the curtains and presented a special attraction, before the play, John Carrescia and his Cotton Club Synco- pators. Among the able musicians we noticed Bill McAulay, of course, at the drums; Geno Salvatore, caressing the violin, and Kenneth Collins, jazzing the piano. He attracted much attention because he was bouncing on the piano stool in rhythm with the music. His “Cab” Calloway yell was noteworthy; John Hobb’s dancing feet and puffed up face were a striking contrast to the music he blew out of his flute. William Grimes played the saxa- phone and sang a novelty number with imitations. Alessandro Pizziconi tooted a trombone. The well presented play followed. Simone Fife and Malcolm Johnson were the leads. Another interesting character in the play was Bessie Lanza, who in real life is a teacher with Alfrieda Fiske, in an exclusive boarding school for girls. Alexina Lafave led in the applause when her friend, Miss Lanza, made her entrance. At the end of the second act, Pennery was informed that he was wanted back stage. We next saw him being led before the audience by the spokesman for the evening. He made the announcement of the coming dinner dance at the club. His speech was well given and it brought back vividly the night of the Senior play. He soon joined us for the third act and informed us that Douglas Eaton and Roger Hill had charge of the lighting effects, their business being electricity. The next morning we proceeded to send out invitations for the dance. The first went to Clemence Allaire, who was studying French with Marie Baril and Mary McGrath in New York. Another was sent to Catherine Dolan, who is superintendent of nurses in the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. The next group were sent to girls who are now nurses; namely, Dorothy Caswell, Mildred Piper, Winifred Callagher, Ruth Grabner, Leatha Leahey, Mary Murray, Mary Reagan, Arline Saunders, Alice Smith, Irene Smith, and to Mildred Wass, who is school nurse in Springfield. The next invitation was sent to Muriel Sherwin, now head librarian of the Worcester Public Library. Another was written to Roberta Wass, who is employed as governess at the home of the headmaster at Andover Academy. Barbara Sawyer was the next name on our list. She is private secretary to Lowell Caswell, a breker. The names of Margaret McColl and Blanche Savage, models in a salon of Madame Strut-Around in Vienna, were the next in order. The next two who were to be recipients of invitations were Margaret Mahan, private secretary to Clemont Dupont, and Margaret Hammer, owner of a canned chicken factory in Iowa. I next wrote an invita- tion to Margaret Davidson, hostess of the Hamilton Hotel in Bermuda and Jeanette Cap- lette, leader of a group of biologists who are analyzing coral on that island. That completed our list. The following week at the club we were greeted by Herbert McKenny, president of the club. While we were talking, a group entered, and we saw Anne Burdett and her newly acquired millionaire husband, and Everett MacDonald, with his fiancee. The hostess of the evening was none other than Edith Farwell. She designated some of the distinguished guests present. ‘On your right, two tables over, is Earl Caisse, city editor of the New York Times, accompanied by Doris Coulliard.”’ “Is that Ray Carr over there?” drawled Killay. “Yes,” answered Edith, “he has just come Fast with his wife from his cattle ranch in Wyoming.” Thereupon our hostess left us to announce the famous piano team Westine and McRae. Hazel Clapper and Leona Dohla followed in a dance number. While dinner was being served, we noted that our waitresses were Marion Wilfert, Mary Walsh. and Evelyn Porter. Pennery suddenly spied an old friend at another table, the former Rena Mackey, now Mrs. Paul Chase. Seated at the same table were Laurette Lyonnais and Hiland Kingston. Francis Toolin, a reporter for that flourishing Leominster news journal came over to our table with Warren Bentley, football coach at the University of Southern California. THE MAGNET As Agnes said, “Isn’t that Barbara Paul across the hall with Kenneth Arris?” we made room for the newly arrived classmates. “Why, yes,” answered Toolin. “As Walter Winchell would have said back in ’32, ‘They have been seen places together’.”’ livery three dances, we were entertained by some novelty acts, consisting of unique selections by Ruth Appley; Edgar Beaulieu, a rising young impersonator; and Dorothv Kmery, a second Kate Smith, who was popular in 1932. Robert Capone gave a very vivid description of a gangster’s life—merely an impersonation of a character, not a relative. Grace Burns and Geneva Desorcie gave a dance specialty from their vaudeville act, which was at this time a box office attraction. Pennery suddenly remembered his list of refusals from those who were unable to attend the reunion. He, being a reporter, knew what all our absentees were doing. “Albert Christoforo is playing for the Yankees and doing well, too. Wallace Smith is a pitcher for the same team. By the way, you people must think I’m a genius; however, I shall do my best. Danny D’Onfro is trying for the National Golf Championship. Alexander Dupee is a marathon runner. Oh, yes, and George Gates is an automobile racer. Incidently, he’s competing at Indianapolis next week.” “Next?” I asked expectantly. “Vernon Harrington,” he continued, “is the owner of some thoroughbreds, one of which is expected to get the blue ribbon at Saratoga next month. Howard Lane runs a night club in New York, which is patronized by famous people of the day. Another person who has done well for herself is Anita Leighton, an art student who has a splendid art studio in this city. Her work is considered excellent. Milton Merril is writing a collection of verse. Have you heard that Alice O’Connell is teaching kindergarten and is engaged to be married very soon? I think I’m getting along famously, don’t you?” We all nodded in the affirmative. “Francis Perry is in the moving business,’ continued Pennery, “and is progressing rapidly. Paul Rand has inherited his father’s service station on Main Street. Edward Robinson has the Cadillac agency in this town. Didn’t you know that? Edward Verge, Francis Taylor, and Harold Anderson are successfully demonstrating cars for him. Here’s a bit of news for you. Kathleen Norris, that famous writer, has recently acquired a per- sonal maid, our old friend, Dorothey Carter. Oh, and another person who sent his regrets was John Grimley, who is vice-president of the Liggett Drug Stores. Milton Harvie owns a sheep farm out West. Let’s boost the wool industry! And say, when I heard from Paul Oozoonian, he offered special rates to his old class. He’s an aviator at the Boston airport. Michael Little is an assistant coach at Columbia.” “Who’s next?” I inquired. ‘“Hariett Smith,” was the reply. : “T read only yesterday,” I answered, “that she has left, as a missionary, to convert the heathern in Africa.” “You did contribute something, finally, didn’t you?’? mused Pennery. “Tast month, while traveling through Canada, I encountered Benny Tata, who is a member cf the Mounted Police. That’s all there are; there isn’t any more.” “Oh, he deserves a leather metal,” sighed Agnes. We ended our tenth reunion with the singing of the old alma mater’s song, “Three Cheers jor L. H. S.” b ELLEN SWEENEY AGNES HACKETT WILLIAM PENNERY THE MAGNET THE MAGNET BOARD Ey Wak sh TORS IES TH EaN THE MAGNET Art Club Every Wednesday afternoon from one thirty to three o’clock the members of the Art Club hold their weekly meeting. The Art Club is one of the most popular clubs in our social life at high school. There are twenty-five members and each girl is working on a different project. We have made many different articles, among which are silhouettes, oil paintings, fancy ornamental stuffed Des writing cases, door stops, hooked rugs, hangings, and many more beautiful and useful articles. We are planning an exhibition the second week in June in the Public Library and we extend a cordial invitation to all those who are interested in reviewing our work. Next year we hope there will be many new members to join us in our work and play. The officers are as follows: Pres. Dorothy May, Vice Pres. Dorothy Caswell, Sec. Prudence Welch, Treas. Clemence Allaire. Radio Club The Radio Club has at present six members including the following officers: President, R. Miner; Treasurer, K. Letters; Vice President, J. Maxim; Secretary, R. Rossier; Librarian, P. Haire. During the past year the members of the club have given talks on subject of radio in general; they have also had some code practice. It is the hope of the club members that, with the use of a larger library and an automat- ic code-sending instrument, with other improvements as they are needed, they may arouse more interest next year than was manifested this year. It is interesting for those who intend to make radio their life work, to know that it is the fastest-growing industry of the day, that it needs trained men to continue its growth, and that right now only three men are available for each five jobs. Green MS The Garden Club has just enjoyed one of its most successful seasons under the supervision of faculty advisor Thomas Watson and the officers, who are as follows: President John D. Lavin, Vice-President Francis X. Toolin, Secretary Maurice I. McDonough, and Treasurer John A. Paul. : The Club, at an early meeting had the pleasure of listening to a talk on the Japanese Beetle by John E. Shannon of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. 7 Francis White, Maurice McDonough and John Lavin, alternate, defeated Joe Killelea, Daniel D’Onfro and Joe Regan, alternate, in a spirited debate on Farm Relief. At a later meeting Bernard O’Donnell, a representative of the Mass. State College, addressed the members on Landscape Gardening, and at the conclusion of his talk, he advised the boys on their own particular gardens. The members gave their services willingly in keeping the school grounds in good condition. The officers have planned an extensive program of activities for next year. THE MAGNET The Stenography Club Looking back over the year, members of the Stenography Club can see many worth- while accomplishments. Some of these are as follows: 1. Four of our members, Catherine Regan, Albina Grinkis, Marie Baril, and Laurette Lyonnais, attended the Worcester County Contest in Shorthand. Out of a group of twenty-five contestants all of the above members were qualified. Miss Regan attained eighth place, Miss Baril tenth place, Miss Lyonnais twelfth, and Miss Grinkis fourteenth. Miss Geneva Desorcie represented the Club, along with three other Seniors, in the typewriting section of the Worcester County Contest. She attained fourth place in the group. 2. Ata meeting in April a speaker from the New England School of Advertising gave a very interesting talk on that subject. Students of the school as well as members of.the Club attended this meeting. 3. An additional accomplishment was that of studying Civil Service requirements and examinations. Aside from obtaining data on how to go about filing applications, we also became acquainted with qualifications necessary for government positions. A successful Club year has been due to the efforts of its members: Catherine Regan, Marie Baril, Rena Mackey, Geneva Desorcie, Margaret Joy, Albina Grinkis, Mary Walsh, Margaret Davidson, Margaret Hammer, Barbara Sawyer, Jeanette Caplette, and Marion Wilfert. Junior Red Cross Club The Junior Red Cross Club held its organization meeting on October 21, 1931. The following officers were elected: President, Mary Scully, Vice-President, Eldora Morse, Treasurer, Elsie Padula, Secretary, Goricia Palumbo. Our faculty advisor was Miss Kilbourne. On Thanksgiving and Christmas we filled two baskets with provisions. With the aid of Miss Kilbourne, we made flannel pajamas for little tots. These were given to Mrs. Parker, who distributed them among needy families. Members of the Club brought from home old clothes, which were mended and given to the poor. The Junior Red Cross Club of 1930-1931 has also made a quilt which was donated to a needy family. The last few weeks were spent in making scrap books, which were given to the hospital. Thus we concluded what we feel has been a very successful year. L.. H. S. Aviation Club The officers of the L. H. 8. Aviation Club were as follows: President, Francis White; Vice-President. Milton Merril: Secretary, Walter Gay; Treasurer, Howard Cook. Mr. Elmer J. Bucknell was Faculty Advisor. The motion picture ‘‘Dirigible’’ was run at the Plymouth Theatre on October 5, 1931. The members of the Club sold tickets around the city. The picture was well liked by everyone attending. During the meetings talks on the latest adventures in aviation were given by various members. Different types of airplanes and dirigibles were spoken of. Bin of the lack of transportation, the Club did not visit any of the surrounding airports. Some of the members made model airplanes which were shown during the Club meetings. The Aviation Club took a ‘‘hop’’ from the Leominster-Fitchburg airport. Some of the members went up in the cabin plane and others flew in the open cockpit plane. Everyone enjoyed his ride very much. THE MAGNET French Club The French Club of the Leominster High School has an enrollment of eleven girls, all of whom are Juniors or Seniors. The officers are as follows: President, Janet Wheeler; Vice President, Mary Wheeler; Secretary, Mara Trafton; Treasurer, Bettie Harris. Owing to the fact that the meetings have to be held outside of school hours and that many of the girls work afternoons, it has been difficult to find a time convenient for all to be present. However, several worth while projects have been accomplished. In the fall each member sold fifteen dozen doughnuts in order to earn money for the club pins. Several meetings devoted to songs, games, plays, and recitations have been very interesting and we feel that our French has been improved by the French conversa- tion carried on at all of the meetings. The French Club of Fitchburg extended an invitation to the Leominster Club in March to attend a delightful entertainment. A play entitled Un Bureau de Télégraphe was presented and a lecture by Mrs. Charles J. Laserte was much enjoyed by the two crganizations. On Mav 27, the French Club arranged a program consisting of a play, a song, and an appreciation of the poet Paul Verlaine which included the reading of several of his poems. This program was given before the Cercle Francais recently organized in the city by Dr. Frechette. The last formal meeting of the year was held at the home of the president, Janet Wheeler. A novel arrangement of French games was carried out by the hostess. An elaborate bridge party is being planned for the early part of June to provide funds for a new year. At this party there will be given a program consisting of two French plays, two solo folk dances, and some French songs. There is a splendid spirit in our little French Club. We should accomplish much more if we could find one free afternoon available to all of our members. THE MAGNET Dramatic Club The Dramatic Club completed a very successful year under the direction of Pres. Ray Carr, Vice Pres. Simone Fife, Sec. Dick O’Tool, Treas. Ellen Sweeney. The first entertainment sponsored by the club was a novelty show in which various members of the school participated. Movies of school activities were shown and the even- ing was completed with a one act play entitled “Her Deaf Ear.” Money from this was used to help pay a deficit on the previous year’s Magnet. During the year some plays were read and reviewed and the club was responsible for an assembly program in which the play “The Cuckoo Nest” was presented. The various activities of the club were very ably directed by Miss Dole, Mrs. Burgess, and Mr. Donnelly. THE MAGNET Debating Club The Debating Club was organized on November 5, 1931 and the following officers were elected: President: Francis White, Vice-President: Barbara Paul, Secretary: Simone Fife, Treasurer: Maurice McDonough. At the second meeting Mr. Rogers our advisor, gave a talk on “‘The Rudiments of Good Speaking’’ It was agreed that the Club would enter the “Clark Debating League.’’ Try-outs were held. which resulted in having the following people on the two teams: affirmative - Simone Fife, Francis White, and Harold Beaudoin; negative— Maurice Mc- Donough, David Lubin, and Harold Fillmore. By presenting asplendidly prepared case for the negative side of the question “Resolved: that installment buying of consumption goods is detrimental to the interests of the American people,” Leominster High’s team defeated Shrewsbury in a spirited contest held at the school. At this debate Joseph Kinsey was moderator, and Daniel D’Onfro was timer. However, due to a mishap the affirmative lost a well-fought debate in Millbury. At a request from the Rotary Club we again gave this debate before the Club at its weekly luncheon at the Allen House. This debate was well received and we were congratu- lated by the entire Club. On May 26, we shall journey to Lancaster to repeat this debate. Having presented this last debate, which will close the year’s activities, we conclude that it has been an unusually successful year. THE MAGNET | Glee Club The Girls Glee Club of thirty members under the excellent supervision of Miss Lucille Brown closed a successful year. The Club met regularly on Tuesday afternoons with the following officers in charge: Mary Wheeler, president; Elizabeth Gaetz, vice-president; Janice Howe, secretary. At various times the members of the organization sang in Assembly, and once entertained the Musical Club of this city. Five delegates were sent to sing in the New England Choral Festival held in Providence from April 28 to May 1. These delegates ae ae Westine ’32, Mary Wheeler ’33, Janice Howe ’33, Alice Houde ’33, Irene enard 738. THE MAGNET— The Library Club Under the leadership of Miss Elizabeth Colley, the Library Club was formed by a group of senior girls, whose purpose was to improve our school library. With Martha Westine as president, Bessie Lanza as vice-president, and Ruby McRae as secretary, the club has suc- ceeded in accomplishing much work in arranging, repairing, and cataloging books. A combination meeting and party was held at Miss Colley’s house, at which time we invited a few juniors who are to carry on our work next year. Plans for an assembly, as well as for a formal opening of the library are among the most important projects. THE MAGNET The Health Council The Health Council, with Signe Johnson as president, Sibyl Bordreau as vice-presi- dent, and Thelma Rand as secretary, has held weekly meetings during the last half of the school year. The activities have been varied, and have been directed partly toward arousing in the Club members a greater consciousness of their own health needs and practices, and partly toward directing the attention of the student bcdy as a whcle to a con- sideration of health matters. On Health Day of Education Week in November, an assembly was held with repre- sentatives from the Social Science Department cooperating in the program. Another assembly was held on May 24 to celebrate National Child Health Day. In this program various departments were represented by students speaking on health topics. On February 24 an audiometer test was given by the social service director of the Speech Readers Guild of Boston. These tests showed that about one-fifth of the student body was handicapped by impaired hearing. Cards were issued by the Health Council notifying the subject teachers of each pupil. A Health Habit Questionnaire was given to the entire school on March 15. Informa- tion gathered from these questionnaires was tabulated for future use. More benches have been secured for the lunch room, so that now a comparatively small number are obliged to stand while eating. Several pupils have been devoting cne study period a week to a consideration of some topic related to health. This work has carried points for credit like the regular club work, and it is our hope that we may continue to offer such classes during next year. THE MAGNET Senior Play On April 15 the Senior Class successfully presented the three-act comedy “Green Stockings” by A. EK. W. Mason. Mara Trafton and Malcolm Johnson played the leading parts. The rest of the cast included Janet Wheeler, Anne Burdett, Rosamond Sobelton, Barbara Orcutt, Kenneth Killay, Alec Stein, Donald McCaffrey, William McAulay, William Pennery and Paul Rand. The play was directed by Mrs. Burgess. THE MAGNET Commencement Poem TRIESSONGsORSEIBE: The minor tones, the major tones, The tones that syncopate the song, The rasping tones, the gasping tones, The tones outstanding, clear, and strong, The trembling tones in terror clad, Lest much too prominent they be, The tones whose quality is sad,— Such tones comprise a melody. We ordinary tones but weave A proud and varied tale, a dream. To some more versatile we leave The harmonizing of this theme. To others, gleaming stars of fame, Who shine above the common throng, We leave the faming of our name,— The rare crescendos of the song. Entrancing in its witchery, Entwining like a wispy veil Around the theme, the melody, The harmony, and all the tale, There comes the dearest, sweetest strain, Embracing those whose cheery smiles Bear all of us through joy or pain, Through victories or cruel trials. So now, as from all these we part, The sharpest of us, flattest too, Must feel the prick of sorrow’s dart, When parting tears, contrite and true, As sad as aught we hope to meet, Come surging in with plaintive plea To end the song, and then to greet The dawning of Life’s melody. And as Life’s melody proceeds, Traversing measures, some of pain, Let’s follow where the music leads, And here and there add some sweet strain. So Youth’s song ends; Life’s dawns; we see That both are but the overture, Forerunning heaven’s harmony, The final hymn, divine and pure. RUBY MCRAE ’32. Sophomore Class History The present class of Sophomores trooped into the Senior High School last September, with high hopes and ambitions—determined to have a successful high school career. During the year we found that our class had two letter men on the basketball squad: Brooks and Crotch. George Cressy, John Delay, Anthony Sambito, and William Shutt THE MAGNET also played splendidly. The Sophomores who represented us on the class team showed some fine basketball playing. David Bell, Ronald Cahill, Anthony Sambito, and Clifford Wilson were all letter men, playing on the varsity football team. Mr. Burnham is taking special pains with his Sophomore pack of sprinters and jumpers. Lloyd Boutilier, Walter Buckey, and Norman Burnap entered the annual inter- class road race and although they did not win—better luck next time, boys! The class is proud of the girls who were successful in ‘“‘making” the varsity basket- ball team: Esther Poulson, Ruth King, and Hazel Johnson. In the homeroom games, the Sophomore girls defeated the Juniors of Room 9 by a score of 12-11, and thus won the girls’ championship of the school. In the game at the Junior High School our winning score was 39-19. Some of the girls have been doing good work on the track team, and we hope they’ll keep it up. The Sophomores are proud of their athletes but are also glad to have a representative in the realm of rhetoric: David Lubin, who participated in the debate with Shrewsbury High School. In the sphere of music, there are eight sophomores among the sixteen members of the orchestra: Gordon Hill, Frieda Jacobs, and Ninus Papaz—violins; Paul Haire—clarinet; Bernard Labelle—trumpet; Winthrop Mayo—saxophone; Arnau Cook— drums; and Margaret Vaillant—piano. . BET YSLART MADLYN BOURBEAU HORACE FALK A History of the Junior Class The present Junior Class, the class of 733, has played an important part in the various, school activities this year. In athletics the Juniors have been very successful. In football, Tellier, Lemoine, Wiley, Sweeney, O’Toole, Foster, and Gardner were varsity men, and many more Juniors were out there working hard for L. H. 8S. O’Toole, Wiley, Lemoine, Sweeney, Sullivan, Pelky, and Connelly starred in basketball, while in baseball, Letters, Picucci and Pelky are on the varsity team. A large gathering of Juniors are out to make the track team. For officers for the year 1931-32, the Junior Class elected the following: President, Richard O’Toole; Vice President, Charlotte Gamblin; Secretary, Murton Bush; Treasurer, Marion Safford. : In Dramatics, the Juniors have had a very active part. They helped put on the benefit show for the Magnet, and in the play for the general assembly the Juniors had the majority of the roles. In this production Bartley Sweeney, Richard O’Toole, Harold Beaudoin, Lillian Morey, and Katherine McGillan took part. The Class of ’33 was ably represented on the debating team by Maurice McDonough, Francis White, and Harold Beaudoin. Many Juniors were also on either the Magnet board or staff this year. Juniors were likewise prominent in the various club activities of the school. As music plays an important part in nearly everything, many members of the class have contributed their bit to help the orchestra, glee club, chorus, and band. They are to be congratulated ! In girls’ athletics, the girls of the Junior Class have been very successful. In hockey, the chief sport of competition between classes, the Junior eleven won the championship, thereby winning their numerals at the same time. Some of our leading athletes came to the front in the basketball season, while others star more in track. The big affair of the year for the under graduates was the Junior Prom, which, thanks to the committees in charge, was a great success from the social standpoint. ERIC MAGER MARY WHEELER HOWARD HIRST THE MAGNET CLASS ESSAYS Music Of Washington's Day We have often thought of Washington in connection with military strategy, athletics, and the foundation of the nation, but we have seldom considered Washington in connec- tion with music. This art, however, played a part in his life as well as in more modern lives. Of course we must remember that musical composition was not as prevalent in Wash- ington’s time as it has become in the present era. Because of the extreme infancy of our country and the need of the colonists’ concentration on state affairs rather than on those pertaining to the subtler arts, practically no music was written in this country until 1750, from which time the output of musical composition was greatly increased until the Revolution. Growing stability in social and economic conditions in larger towns made this greater production possible, as well as the influx from abroad, of musicians coming to our land to seek a livelihood. The first concerts were semi-private, being patronized chiefly by the aristocratic class. Amateurs of talent freely participated, particularly in concerted, instrumental music. After the Revolution, in 1783, concerts adopted a more public character as the spirit of democracy grew. Because of his presidential tours, Washington’s opportunities of attending concerts in the music centers were greater than those of the ordinary individual. One of the popu- lar composers appearing in connection with these concerts which he often heard was Reinagle, who came from Europe to America in the latter part of the eighteenth century and who had been an intimate friend of Carl Philip Emmanuel Bach. It is generally sup- posed that he was engaged as the music teacher of Washington’s step-grand-daughter, Nellie Custis, whom Washington legally adopted when her father died. Washington’s interest in the theatre is shown by the record in his diary of buying tickets for a Philadelphia theatre. The theatre and music were inseparably associated in eighteenth-century America, for many of the theatrical performances were ballad-operas —plays interspersed with music, somewhat like our present-day musical comedies. Often, too, the actors entertained with popular songs between the acts of the drama, as our actors frequently do today. The chief instrumental music which was written for non-concert use was that which was composed in celebration of historic events. An instance: from May 25 to September 17, 1787, the Constitutional Convention held its stormy sessions in Philadelphia. By June 6, 1788, ten of the States had ratified the document and “come under the Federal roof.” duly fourth was a festive day that year in Philadelphia, duly commemorated in music, for Alexander Reinagle contributed the Federal March, which was performed “in the grand procession,” “composed ‘in honor of the ratification of the Federal Constitution by Ten of the States,” to quote from records. The march is brisk and stirring, and according to the manuscript, sounds like this: (illustration) Dance music, too, was written to supply the demand of the lovers of dancing. As John Kello wrote in 1755 from Virginia to a friend in London, ‘“‘Dancing is the chief di- version here.” So popular was the art of dancing that throughout the colonies the majority of the concerts were followed by a ball. There were different types of music for the dif- ferent dances: dignified for the aristocratic minuet and gavotte, and lively for the jig and hornpipe. Washington was fond of the minuet; the gavotte was also a favorite of his. What a striking figure he must have been as he led the stately dances in all the glory of his magnificent stature! Enough has been said of the early instrumental music; now to pass to the first songs. The earliest books of music in the Colonies, of which there is any record, were psalm- books. The first composer of the secular art-songs was Francis Hopkinson, who in 1759 wrote My Days Have Been so Wondrous Free. There were two types cf vocal music: sen- timental and patriotic. The song mentioned above belongs to the former group, as does the THE MAGNET composer’s later song Lnraptured I Gaze, which was written in 1788, shortly after the Revolution, and was a part of the first set of songs published in America and dedicated to Washington. These were two of Washington’s favorite songs. However, the song reputed to be most liked by Washington is The Way-Worn Traveller from Dr. Samuel Arnold’s opera The Mountaineers. Dr. Arnold wrote forty-three operas, and other stage-pieces, but of them all The Mountaineers seems to have been the most popular. The Way-Worn Travel- ler was sung frequently at concerts toward the end of the eighteenth century and the beginning of the nineteenth. It has been published only once since that time. Washington liked to have Nellie Custis, his adopted daughter, sing it and play it, among others, on the thousand-dollar harp that he gave her. The song may be familiar to many of you. “Taint and wearily the way-worn traveller Plods unhurriedly, afraid to stop. Wand’ring dreamily and sad unraveller Of the mazes toward the mountain’s top. Doubting, fearing, while his course he’s steering. Cottages appearing as he’s nigh to drop. Oh, how briskly then the way-worn traveller Threads the mazes toward the mountain’s top.” The fact that Washington gave Nelly Custis the harp and encouraged her musical education shows that he was interested in music and enjoyed it. Other art songs that he liked were Nora, dear Nora, from the Poor Soldier, published in 1783, and EHleventh of September, the arrangement of which is attributed to N. Clifford Page. The interest of the people did not rest in sentimental song's alone, however. Our own Hail, Columbia, written by Philip Phile, an early, prolific writer, and sung by Gilbert Fox, an actor, at a benefit in Philadelphia Theatre, was encored no less than a dozen times. Our National song America was not the first one set to the tune of England’s God: Save the King, for in June, 1779, appeared: “God save the thirteen States! Long rule the United States, God save our States! Make us victorious, Happy and glorious, No tyrants over us; God save our States!” With what sentiments Gen. Burgoyne must have surrendered at Saratoga, Oct. 17, 1777, with the song Yankee Doodle ringing in his ears, sung from the lusty throats of the stalwart Yankees! Father and I Went Down to Camp was another popular version of this song. The first published liberty song, In Freedom We’re Born, was written by the popu- lar writer, John Dickinson, who wrote Letters of a Pennsylvania Farmer. Songs composed to honor Washington may be numbered with the patriotic, for they combined the patriotic with the hero worship. In 1786 appeared, to the ever-popular tune of God Save the King: “God save great Washington His worth from ev’ry tongue Demands applause; Ye tuneful powers combine, And each true Whig: now join Whose heart did ne’er resign The glorious cause.” How could the hardy spirit of the colonists be expressed more clearly or forcefully ? And we, today, at this bi-centennial celebration of Washington’s birth, may express our enthusiasm by hailing that great general as he was hailed at the celebration of his birthday in 1786— “Parent of soothing airs and lofty strains.” “Hail Columbia’s godlike son! Hail the glorious Washington.” MARTHA WESTINE. THE MAGNET Washington [he Guide The conception of the word “guide” held by the majority of people is a picture of a person standing in the front of a bus, with a visored cap on his head, and a large mega- phone held at the corner of his mouth, explaining the principal historic and civic points of interest in a city and its surrounding country-side. But tonight we are primarily in- terested in the term “guide” in an entirely different sense. First, there is the picture of Washington, the man, guiding his followers through wilderness and his people through the Revolution; secondly, the portrait cf Washington, guiding his countrymen through the stress and storm of founding a nation; last, the vision of Washington, enshrined in the hearts of all Americans, guiding the youth cf today and tomorrow in paths of honor and courage. He began his leadership as a lad, when he first led a small party of men across swollen streams, over mountains, and through tangling underbrush and seemingly impenetrable wilderness to a French fort with a message from Governor Dinwiddie of Virginia to the French commander. He gradually became more important in the affairs of his native state and the thirteen colonies until finally, shortly after the outbreak of our struggle for independence, he became commander-in-chief of all the colonial armies. It was during this revolution that George Washington, with his sword and his unconquerable fortitude, guided his people to victory and freedom. He suffered all the hardships and privations of his soldiers and turned defeats into victory. We need not discuss minutely all the bat- tles and discouragements that George Washington and his army endured, for you are ali familiar with that phase of history. After the surrender of Cornwallis and the termina- tion of the Revolution, George Washington returned to his home at Mt. Vernon to live in comfort and seclusion. But he was not destined to enjoy his long and hard-earned rest, for the welfare of his people was foremost in his heart. After the treaty with Great Britain, the complicated machinery of the United States government had to be assembled and a prorer person elected to assume the responsibility. To accomplish this task, there was to be in Philadelphia a meeting of delegates from all thirteen states. Washington was asked to head the delegates from Virginia. At first he refused, but finally consented, partly for fear his motive in staying away might be mis- interpreted, and perhaps partly because his patriotism and loyalty were so strong that they forced him to accept. At this meeting, after much deliberation and discussion, George Washington was elected unanimously the first president of our United States of America. His most important duty was the collection of timber and money and men for the building and safe launching of his “Ship of State.” It was necessary for him to select the proper confidential advisors and make the various appointments to office. George Wash- ington honestly and diligently guided the operations for the structure of the new country. It was a plain straight forward operation, necessitating the unprejudiced choice of men who would loyally serve the public. He sought men who were fit for office, not offices which were suitable for men. At the completion of the ship, he stood at the helm and guided it. One writer says of Washington, “His administration established national credit, made provisions for the public debt; and by-laws wisely framed, raised the commerce and navigation of the country from depression and ruin to a state of prosperity.” Even after his death he has guided the nation by the ideas that his ‘Farewell Address” has made famous. Webster on the centennial of Washington in an address said: ‘“‘Gentlemen, ‘Washington’s Farewell Address’ is full of truths important all times, and particularly deserving consideration at the present. With a sagacity which brought the future before him, and made it like the present, he saw and pointed out the dangers that even at this moment most imminently threaten us.” An incident that cccurred one day during the term of President Coolidge shows the importance of Washington’s policies for our times as well as for the past. A reporter, seeing President Coolidge seated on his veranda, asked him the subject of his reading: “Books about Washington,” the President replied. You can see from this answer that even the President of the United States in our generation is not too busy to gather information from the policies and methods of our THE MAGNET first President. He felt that by following them the United States has never gone wrong. Now I wish that you would climb aboard your train of memory and travel back a few years, or maybe more than a few years for some of you, to the good old days, when, arrayed in short dresses or short trousers, you attended the little red school house for the first time. Try to visualize the interior of your first class room. Probably cne of the objects that impressed itself upon your memory was a portrait of George Washington hanging on the wall. This picture was placed there as an inspiration from which the youth of this country could obtain an everlasting impression of the loyalty and patriotism embodied in Washington. To serve as an ideal for American youth, who could be better than Washington? Rev. E. F. Ferris said, ““America has other and more recent heroes and there will be others in generations to come. But George Washington stands, and will ever stand, as a noble embodiment of all that in his generation was worthiest in American character.” Abraham Lincoln, who himself “belongs to the ages,” said in 1842, ‘To add bright- ness to the sun or glory to the name of Washington, is alike impossible. Let none attempt it. In solemn awe pronounce the name, and in its naked, deathless splendor, leave it shin- ing on.”’ Washington valued virtue above life itself. There are perhaps no words which better express his eternal message, not only to Americans but to all youths, than the quotation from Milton’s poem “Comus’”’: “Love Virtue She alone is free; She can teach you how to climb Higher than the sphery chime. Or, if virtue feeble were, Heaven itself would stoop to her.” “He stood alone before death claimed him; he is isolated still; the promise is that he is destined forever to hold unrivalled his unsought pre-eminence among the sons of men.” America and the world will ever venerate and be guided by the name of George Washington, the Father of his Country. ALEC STEIN. Buildings Associated with Washington George Washington, the Father of Our Country, was born on the Bridge Creek estate at Wakefield, Virginia. When he was three years old, the original house was burned, but the Wakefield National Memorial Association restored it for the Bicentennial Celebra- tion last February. As a result of this fire, the family sought shelter at Ferry Farm in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Here occurred the famous cherry tree episode and the killing of the colt that wouldn’t be tamed. In 1743 George’s brother Lawrence inherited the Hunting Creek Plantation from his father, and built on it a small cottage. Having just returned from a campaign with Admiral Vernon in South America, he wrote to him and asked for permission to name his new home “Mount Vernon.” To this the Admiral immediately gave his consent. After the death of Lawrence in 1752, George inherited the cottage. Owing to military activities, however, he did not remain at home for any length of time. When, in 1758, he planned to marry the Widow Custis, he realized that his house would be but a poor abode for the bride who was accustomed to large and luxurious residences. The simple eight room building on the banks of the Potomac was hastily enlarged and renovated. It was thor- oughly overhauled and two small detached wings were added. The making of the above- noted changes was left in the hands of a trusty neighbor, who made the building and surroundings as attractive as possible for the happy couple. Later, as Washington’s popularity increased, the number of guests to be entertained was greater. Accordingly, plans for more spacious rooms were laid. The kitchen and other necessary working rooms THE MAGNET were moved into several small cottages at the rear of the mansion. When Washington was called away in 1775 to become Commander-in-Chief of the Army, he left his plans with Lund Washington for completion. From time to time through the years, the grounds and drives were beautified with shrubs and trees, gifts to him from friends whom he had made in all parts of the world and in all walks of life. There were five separate farms on the Washington estate. On one a unique sixteen- sided barn was designed by the master for the storage and care of grain. This building was made of brick and was equal in diameter to the rotunda of our National Capitol. It was specially adapted to storing sheaves of grain on the ground floor and for passing it down to the basement, where a treading machine received the grain when ready for threshing. Thus it could be threshed on days when the weather was too unfavorable for any outside work. At the International Colonial Exposition in Paris last year the United States Gov- ernment erected on a sloping plot overlooking the Seine a replica of the main house at Mount Vernon. Charles A. Bryant of Richmond, Virginia, was the architect, and he was assisted in the interior decorating by Miss Anne Madison Washington, great-great-grand- niece of the first President. The building of the reproduction was done in the factories of Sears-Roebuck Co. and shipped to Paris. Every minute detail was carried out in the pro- ject, the furniture being copied from the original at Mount Vernon, Virginia. Plumbing and electric wiring are the only modern features of the exposition building. Another reproduction of Mount Vernon has recently been completed at Prospect Park, Brooklyn. The site selected is one of the prettiest in New York, with a broad slop- ing lawn extending from the portico to the lake. Many people will be able to view these structures who could not afford to visit the original estate. Washington travelled more than most men of his time, partly for pleasure and partly in connection with army activities or presidential duties. One of the buildings especially memorable in this connection is the George Wythe House at Williamsburg, Virginia. Washington used this as headquarters during the Battle of Yorktown. The place was one of the first buildings repaired by Mr. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. in his restoration of colonial Williamsburg. The house is now used as a parsonage for the rector of the Bruton Parish Church, which Washington often attended. From September 14, to October 19, 1776 Washington had his headquarters at the Jumel Mansion in New York. Later on he dined here with his cabinet. The place is now a museum under the auspices of the Washington Headquarters Association of New York and the Daughter s of the American Revolution. George Washington was truly the Father of Our Country. Not only did he aid it in its period of need, but he was, at all times, trying to do something to make it a better and safer place in which to live. On a Maryland bluff opposite Mount Vernon stands Fort Washington. It was formerly Warburton Manor, but Washington, recognizing it as an excellent site for a fortification, planned the barricade which was built there. He was aided in the work by Pierre Charles L’Enfant. The structure was intended for the pur- pose of protecting the Capitol, but no battle was ever fought there. The Annapolis State House was the scene of two important events in his life, and there he attended the Congress of the Confederation. The Sub-treasury of the United States at New York is located on historic ground. When he was inaugurated as the first President, Washington stood on a stone balcony of Federal Hall, then situated there. This stone has been preserved and put into the walls of the present Sub-treasury building. On April 30 of this year, a reproduction of Federal Hall at Bryant Park, New York, was completed. It will duplicate the copperdomed cupola of the original building, as well as the balcony on which George Washington stood for the inauguration. With the exception of his home at Mount Vernon, most of these buildings are asso- ciated with Washington as a public character. There are, however, a number of educa- tional institutions and religious edifices honoring him or perpetuating the memory of his private activities and interests. One of these interests was the education of children. He himself attended school but very little, although he had a few private tutors. In his will he left fifty shares of stock in the Potomac (Canal) Co. for the building of a college at the Nation’s Capital. The stock became worthless, but in 1819 the Reverend Luther Rice formed a group to buy land for THE MAGNET a college. John Quincy Adams, John C. Calhoun, and others became interested and en- deavored to carry out Washington’s wishes. Accordingly, in 1821, Congress chartered and founded Columbia University. Its Medical School opened in 1825 and a year afterward the Law School was started. This school was discontinued but started up again in 1865. It is the oldest law institution in Washington and the first in the United States to estab- lish a graduate course in law. In 1904 Congress provided the college with self-perpetuat- ing trustees and gave them the power to change the name. It was, therefore, renamed, “The George Washington University.” Georgetown University at Georgetown, Virginia, and Washington and Jefferson Col- lege are two other institutions founded in memory of him. Washington was a staunch supporter of religion, never missing a Sunday at church if he could help it. When he had visitors, instead of staying at home, he invited them to accompany him. Before the Revolution the Washingtons were regular attendants at Pohick Church, seven miles from Mount Vernon. Here the pews are of the regular old- fashioned box style. On the door of pew number twenty-eight can be found the initials “G. W.” Washington bought the pew, according to the record book, on November 20, 1772, for sixteen pounds. After the Revolutionary War the Pohick Church was closed, so the Washingtons attended Christ Church at Alexandria, ten miles from home. The pews there were of the mee character as those at Pohick. A silver plate on one of the doors reads, “G. Wash- ington.” Across from Mount Vernon, on the opposite shore of the Potomac, is Broad Creek Church where General and Mrs. Washington went when visiting their friends in An- napolis. Their seat is marked by a brass plate. Besides the buildings already mentioned there are many others in towns scattered all through the Eastern part of the United States associated with some military campaign or other special activity of our first president. But, after all, the building most intimately connected with George Washington is Mount Vernon. To the end of history that will be the greatest national shrine associated with him. BARBARA SAWYER.

Purrier of the class of 1922. We should be glad to have any member of the graduating class send a similar contribution to 7ie Mugnet at some future time. Have you ever closed your eyes and tried to picture yourself in a land of sunshine, shaded here and there by large beautiful palm trees that sway with oceanic breezes, and that bring to you the fragrance of sweet scented flowers, — a place far away from the din and excitement of your own environment, where you can see Mother Nature so wondrously and splendidly attired that you can’t trust your own imagination far SHOMS to believe that such a place could never be unless it be mythical? Let me tell you, dear readers, how I found just such a place. Just five days out of ’Frisco on the great sea-going liner, The 8. S. Maulo, enroute to the Sandwich Islands, I was on deck watching the rays of the rising sun sparkle and dance over the waves of the vast Pacific Ocean, when in the distance I noticed huge mounds that suddenly seemed to spring from nowhere, and that looked like monstrous sentinels guarding this vast silent ocean. Asthe ship drew near I was told that these large mounds were tricks of nature, — large volcanic mountains, placed there years ago, and now forming the eight islands that go to make up the group known as the Sandwich or Hawaiian Islands. In an hour or so we docked in Honolulu Harbor, the capital city of these islands. The docks were lined with thousands of people in gala attire, each with a string of flowers around his neck. A band composed of native Hawaiians was playing music, — beautiful musie such as I had never heard before. And let me tell you, once you have heard real Hawaiian music you will never forget it. I was surprised to find, upon leaving the boat, very well paved streets, large buildings like those we have in our own large cities, people showing the same mixture of nationalities only a little larger percent Oriental. My first day was spent just walking around, looking here and there, observing the people and their custom. I saw many kinds of people,—Chinese, Japanese, Spaniards, and small athletically built people with very dark shining hair, very flat noses, set in broad square faces, bodies tinted a dark tan color which was almost copper; these people I found out to be the native Hawaiians, slowly but surely becoming an extinct race. On a sight seeing bus I visited the beautiful Toa Garden, at the outskirts of the city, a wonderful place filled with shrubs and flowers, thru which ran little streams of water that you could cross on very small miniature bridges. Close by, Uncle Sam has one of his great army bases, Fort Shafter, one of his many ideal fortifications to guard against invaders. Our driver took us next to see “‘the punchbowl’’ and Mount Tantatas. two very large extinct voleanoes. Huge mountains they look liketo me, only instead of being covered with a forest of trees they were covered with vegetation of all kinds, like a huge cloak, made up of a thousand different colors. At the base of these mountains I saw two or three Chinese cemeteries, funny looking little places, in which all the graves were enclosed by small board fences. I was told upon inquiry that these fences are used to keep away the evil spirits. Queer people, these Chinese. Upon returning to the city our tour ended with a visit to the Royal Palace of King Kamehamhea, a once powerful ruler of these islands. This palace is still in perfect condition, but is now being used as a court house. The next day was Sunday, so I started out to see how many churches I could find and attend one. Ashort way from the hotel I noticed a large crowd of people, and being curious I went over to see if there was any thing wrong. I saw that every one in the crowd was Chinese, men and women, all dressed in smart American attire, the height of fashion. Some were talking in perfect English and some in Chinese, and in a few minutes, they all started to walk, continued for just a block and then went into a building. I, too, went . along, determined to find out where they were going. WhenI entered the building I was taken very much by surprise for it was a church; its altars were of the finest carved wood inlaid with gems; beautiful tapestries and rugs were in sight everywhere —a gorgeous looking place. Choosing a seat I sat down to see what was going to happen next; soon a minister came out and started to talk, — what he said I don’t know, as he was talking Chinese. A choir sang, followed by a band playing soft melodious music. partly Chinese and partly American. In afew moments I left, but as I did I began to wonder about the Chinese again. Are they so different from us? THE MAGNET Boarding a trolley car I rode out to Waikiki Beach, famed for its excellent bathing. This beach is situated on the west side of the island; it is lined with large beautiful palm trees, where one can rest and watch thebathers. Right on the beach is the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, a large very modern hotel patronized by millionaires. Donning a bathing suit I went in swimming untill wastired. Then, until dark, I rested on the beach, watching the native boys diving for coins, or, on their surf boards, swimming way out to sea and coming in at about forty miles an hour, riding the boards, standing up, on their heads or feet, whichever they chose. These boys are experts at this sport. Then came sunset and almost at once a beautiful Hula moon shone in the sky, its rays a thousand colors which seemed to come right in on each wave; native boys were playing - guitars, and Hula were dancing to the strains of their guitars. This was the first time I had ever seen a Hula dance. As I watched it I became more and more interested: it is filled with so much emotion and expression, indicated particularly by the hands. To really understand this dance, one has to study about it, as each movement of the hand and each twist of the body portrays some emotional feeling that is told as plainly as if the dancer were talking. I could go on forever telling about this island and things that can be found here, but to really appreciate and find for yourself this paradise, for that is what Hawaii is, a true Pacific Paradise, —you must come here yourself, and see nature attired in her most splendid raiment, offering to you every happiness imaginable just for the asking, taking you in and bidding you— ALOHA. et ees ee Jokes Mac: “Shall I telephone your mother that you were in an accident?” White: “No, she’s heard that one before.” Wife: “And what would you be if it weren’t for my money?” Husband: “A bachelor.” Jimmie: “Mother, I thought you said that fish went around in schools.” Mother: ‘“‘They do, dear.” Jimmie: “Well, why don’t the teachers ever get caught then?” Mr. Burnham: “We must remember that we are here to help others.” W.

THE MAGNET Football Under the guiding hand of Coach Charles Broderick the Blue and White football team enjoyed a fairly successful season, winning about one-half of the scheduled games. In football as in basketball, the ““Captain-a-game”’ system was used. The boys fortunate enough to merit this honor were Tellier, Bentley, McDonald, and Pennery. At the close of the season Warren Bentley was unanimously elected ‘““Honorary Captain” for the year. Those receiving their letters are as follows: Malcolm Johnson, Warren Bentley, John Haverty, William Pennery, John Carrescia, Arthur Leahey, Earl LaPierre, Everett Mc- Donald, John Joseph, Kenneth Arris, Alexander Dupee, Benny Tata, Lowell Caswell, Ken- neth Killay, Clifford Wilson, Michael Lemoine, Howard Wiley, Ronald Cahill, James Gard- ner, Edward Tellier, Chester Letters, Anthony Sambito, Daniel Bell, Norman Clark, Ricardo Cavaioli, Joseph Goodhue, Bartley Sweeney, Nilo Tocci, Judson Foster, Richard O’Toole, Angelo Piccuci, and Raymond Carr. THE MAGNET Basketball The basketball team completed a fairly successful season, winning five out of the twelve games scheduled. For the first time in almost a score of years a Leominster team came within a very few points of defeating the almost invincible Fitchburg quintette. Leominster’s second team had the best season that the Blue and White second string players have ever had, winning almost all of their games. The “Captain-a-game” system was used throughout the season. This method inspires the boys to higher and greater heights and urges them on during practice sessions in order that they may obtain a captaincy. The men who obtained their letters in basketball are as follows: Howard Wiley, John Sullivan, Michael Lemoine, Ernest Crotch, Enest Pelkey, Norman Connolly, Rich- ard O’Toole, Leslie Brooks and Arthur Leahey. THE MAGNET Track When the call for track candidates was made this spring about twenty-five men reported. Of this whole number not one veteran or letter man was present, although many who had had experience answered to their names as the roll was read. Under the able instruction of Coach Stanley Burnham, the boys have acquired much track and field knowledge, and this will serve them in good stead in the coming track meets. On Saturday, May 7, Coach Burnham took a number of boys to Durham, N. H. to compete in a track meet which, when the other schools were taken into consideration, was far out of their class. Although the boys returned without any points, contact with experienced competitors was very beneficial. We have some excellent material in the embryo stage and with sufficient practice this should develop into trackmen of which Leominster High can be justly proud. Some of the most promising candidates for the various positions are: Bentley, Dupee, Holland, and Pennery for the Hundred Yard Dash; Lemoine and Wilson for the shot; Killella, Foster, and Fini for the half-mile and Gardner for the mile; while Bentley, Lemoine, Haverty, Pennery, and Gardner try for the high-jump, dashes, and polevault. The L. H. S. boys competed with those of many local schools in track meets, and with the best teams in New England at the big meet in Durham, N. H. Although no points were actually scored, valuable practice was gained in form, distance, speed, and technique; next year we expect much of the following potential stars: Gardner in the mile, Killilea in the half-mile, Lemoine and Wilson in the shot; Foster, Holland, Fini, Lemoine, and Wilson in the dashes, high jump, and broad jump. THE MAGNET Baseball When the baseball season opened this spring, there was a scarcity of experienced material on hand for Coach Charles Broderick to work with. Only two pitchers who had ever toed the mound for L. H. S. in any previous season reported for practice. Nevertheless, we started in auspiciously when the Alumni beat us by 10 points, the score being 18 to 6. Piccuci did some fine pitching for the High School, but errors in both the outfield and the infield as well as the fact that the Varsity did not show up particularly well at bat contributed in a large measure to the defeat. In the first regular game, the Gardner nine eked out a hard-earned victory on its own field with a score of 18 to 10. Our team looked much better as a unit in this game than it did in the previous one, but errors again accounted for its loss. In the third game of the season Framingham battered out a 19-6 victory over the local hickory wielders. Three pitchers were called into the box and two of these the Framingham ball-players hit all over the field, but the third, Chet Letters, in less than three innings retired the men almost successively and held them with no runs for the last two innings. Leominster’s second team was the first to hoist the blue and white victory banner over an opposing nine when it beat the Shirley Aggregation by a 20-5 score. Letters pitched excellent ball for the locals while D’Onfro and Delay starred equally well as catcher and shortstop respectively. The boys succeeded in taking two games, St. Bernards and Worcester Commerce; while in more than half of the other games the team was defeated by a small margin. Daniel D’Onfro, a veteran of two years, and Leominster’s sterling all-round player, was unanimously elected honorary captain at a meeting of the lettermen recently. Those who have played in a majority of the games and who will receive letters are as follows: Cavaioli, Tellier, Pelkey, Smith, Piccuci, Leahey, Despotopolus, D’Onfro, Capone, O’Toole. THE MAGNET Basketball The Girls’ Basket-ball Team had a very successful year winning six of the nine games which were played. The following girls will receive their L’s: Hazel Clapper, Capt., Roberta Wass, Mildred Wass, Barbara Orcutt, Irma Sanford, Aline Pinard, Marjorie Harris, and Doris Couillard, Manager.
