COMPLIMENTS OF THE LEOMINSTER SAVINGS BANK TO THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 1937 @ We desire to congratulate you on your success this past year. May the groundwork of the past four years be but a stepping stone to your future success. Hood’s Ice Cream Co. COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS Offers a broad program of college subjects serving as a foundation for the understanding of modern culture, social relations, and technical achieve- ment. The purpose of this program is to give the student a liberal and cultural education and a vocational competence which fits him to enter some specific type of useful employment. COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Offers a college pgoram with broad and thorough training in the principles of business with specialization in ACCOUNTING, BANKING AND FINANCE, or BUSINESS MANAGEMENT. Modern methods of in- struction, including lectures, solution of business problems, class discussions, professional talks by business executives, and motion pictures of manu- facturing processes, are used. COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING Provides complete college programs in Engineering with professional courses in the fields of CIVIL, MECHANICAL (WITH DIESEL, AERO- NAUTICAL and AIR CONDITIONING OPTIONS), ELECTRICAL, CHEMICAL, INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING, and ENGINEERING ADMINISTRATION. General engineering courses are pursued during the freshman year; thus the student need not make a final decision as to the branch of engineering in which he wishes to specialize until the beginning of the sophomore year. Co-operative Plan The Co-operative Plan, which is available to the upperclassmen in all courses, provides for a combination of practical industrial experience with classroom instruction. Under this plan the student is able to earn a portion of his school expenses as well as to form business contacts which prove valuable in later years.

The Speech Club Speech Club has had a very successful and busy year under the able officers: president Mary McCaffrey; vice-president, Rosina Hobbs; secretary, Marian Johnson; treasurer, Raphaela Parent. Speech Club has presented programs for all our national holidays. The Columbus Day play increased co-operation between the Art Club and Speech Club as the art students painted some very effective scenery which is of lasting value. Lincoln Day, Washington Day, and Memorial Day were also important dates on the Speech Club calendar. At Christmas time a humorous play, Parking Space, was enjoyed by the entire school. Leominster High took a definite interest in the Play Contest, now an annual affair sponsored by Speech Club. The plays this year were: Sophomore, Poor Richard; Junior, Pearls; Senior Babbitt’s Boy. A great amount of time and effort was spent on these plays. Although all the plays were good, the Seniors were the winners. At a request, Too Much Ginger was presented again this year by the combined efforts of Health Council and Speech Club. In the hope of earning enough money to purchase a cycloramia for the stage, Speech Club ran a benefit movie, which was very successful. Speech Club, now a very progressive club, shows signs of being more active in the future. Increased training and a larger number of dramatic properties will aid Speech Club’s achieve- ments. [ 26 ] - Cllewe Prophecy (Excerpt from the Leominster Daily Enterprise, June 24, 1957) Yesterday the 9:30 train arrived at the newly renovated North Leominster Station with an unusually large number of passengers who seemed to be well acquainted with each other, for the air was filled with, ““Do you remember the time we painted the goal posts and then had to pay for them?” and ‘“‘Wasn’t that a terrific fog we had the night of the Senior Prom?” Yes, you're right; it was the Class of ’37 coming back for a grand reunion. Twenty years had passed since that memorable June night when they had sung their Class Song together in the City Hall. On the platform of the station was that local gossip columnist, Lawrence F. Mitchell, who knew all about them and who told everything as they stepped down from the train. First came the Honorable President, Lauri J. Cormier, M. D., who is now chief surgeon at the Boston City Hospital. With him were two nurses from that same institution, Madeline Kane and Catherine Lilly, both of whom are well known among members of their profession. Following these was Bernard Marquis, leader of a well-known orchestra which had just finished an engagement at that famous night spot, the Eden Gardens in Worcester. Remember! With him were a couple of the members of his band, namely Frankie Mancuso, Fred Hastings, and Norman Girouard, who had recently completed his first part for the Boston Opera Company. While Mr. Mitchell was telling about these, whom we all knew, we took a look around the platform to see if some of the old classmates hadn’t remained in this metropolis of ours, As we proceeded to do this we perceived, coming up the street, a welcoming committee let by that swashbuckling politician, Senator Martin P. White, accompanied by the eminent personage, the Mayor of Sterling, Joseph S. Grinkis. Other members of the committee were Coach Angelo Lanza of the Shirley Industrial School; Elva Murray, night school teacher for Sterling girls; and Anna Florio, athletic instructor for girls at L. H. S. During the time we were finding these, a number of important personages had gotten off. There was our friend Freddy Fournier. They told us that he had made quite a name for himself as a professional as had his companion Bob Harrington. We didn’t hear what kind of professionals though. In his spare time, however, Bob conducts a school for lonesome girls and, if one can believe the reports, he has quite a reputation as a tutor. Over there talking to the committee was Basil Altobelli, a successful accountant from Boston; with him was Robert Erdman, a local garage owner. The last ones to get off were some of the teachers of the class: Gertrude Arsenault from Katherine Gibbs Secretarial School; Lawrence Vorse, head of a well-known kindergarten; Ruth McAskill, a teacher in Ayer; and Lester Anderson of Cambridge. The groups were separating by this time, planning to meet again at the banquet that night, at which time the rest of the class would be with them. At seven-thirty, the chairman, Edward T. Killelea, a prominent Leominster lawyer, proposed a toast to those who were unable to be there: Philip Newman, a ranch owner in Nevada; Betty Draffin, whose archaeological researches had taken her to South America. Aline Grenache, tennis champ, who was touring Europe; and Nina Hicks, missionary in Alaska. To the right of the chairman sat the class officers, two of whom, President Cormier and Secretary Fournier, we have already mentioned. With these were Mary Killelea, Supervisor of Nursing at Massachusetts General Hospital, and Winifred Mager, junior member of a prominent New York law firm. Starting at the left of the chairman down the head table one saw Chet Blodgett, a prosperous farmer, Esther Fluet, owner of a large beauty shop; Wallace Mason, man about town; Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Love (the former Claire MacDonald), who were residing in Fitchburg where Joe was connected with the Crocker-Burbank Co.; Ilse Fricke, head of Sargent School of Physical Education; Raymond Racine, president and treasurer of the Royal Diners Inc.; Hope Harrison, [ 27 | social service worker; Robert F. Howe of Howe Celluloid Corporation; and Philip R. Horwitch, artist and illustrator. At a table at the end of the room a little girl whom everyone called “‘Mikey” was leading the crowd in the School Song. ‘‘Mikey,” or Phyllis, had already become a leading st: ge attraction and her first motion picture was soon to be released. With her was Marion Johnson, a noted dress designer from Chicago. Francis Lambert was there too . . . Francis, the head waiter at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City. At the left near Mary Pickford, a naval nurs2, we heard, ‘‘Oh, I’m tellin’ yuh” followed by ‘‘Well, I don’t know.” Yes, you’re right. It was Bob Lamothe, the popular dancing instructor in an exclusive New York ballroom. After dinner a talk on France was given by a member of the class, who resided in Paris, Paul LaPierre. A comedy in three acts followed, directed by the talented Arthur Church. The cast, composed of the following persons, who, although they were not all, actors, were in some way connected with the theatre, certainly proved their ability to entertain last night: Eleanor Zickell, Lauretta Fife (Mrs. Stephen Kimball), Stephen himself, Rosina Hobbs, Robert Laserte, and Victor Loiselle. No one seemed to realize how many were present until the all-knowing Mr. Mitchell through popular demand gave a summary of who was who and what each was doing: Jerry Angelini, an entertainer in a Boston cabaret; Shirley Yager and Raphaela Picucci, teachers; Clarence Legault, Louis George, and Antonio Marchetti, partners in a chain of garages which are located throughout Worcester County; Bob Bartlett, a teacher of draftsmanship in the Worcester Trade School; Jack Bell, head of chemical research at M. I. T., and Doris Hart, a teacher of psychology at Simmons College. Many members of the business world were present. The stenographers, bookkeepers, and office workers were Phyllis Andrews, Rachel Vigneault, Lucille St. Cyr, Eileen Coleman, Lea Cormier, Evelyn Girouard, Norma Hayford, Camela and Mary Tata, Katherine Page, Betsy Drenova, Mabel Johnson, and Anna Langley. The business men, members of large firms, were Aldrich Cousins, Emile Caron, Baltrus Jancaitis, George Smith, Cecil Francis, John De- Carolis, Robert Lowe, Charles Morse, Larry Pellegrini, Aaron Viall, and Donald Rist. The feminine part of the class was well represented in the nursing profession. The nurses, besides those already named, were Eleanor Reg an, Everill Ordway, Margaret King, Miriam Johnson, Lucille Heustis, Dorothy Bachand, Mary McCaffrey; and Alice Arbo, Rachael Gillis, and Victoria DiMassa, children’s nurses. The lawyers of the class were numerous. The boys who had become members of the bar were: Robert Briscoe, George Flathers, Prescott Henriques, Warren Kibler, Clifford Kingsbury, William McCall, Ralph Sherwin, Jack Such, and Vernon Wiles. We found only a few feminine attorneys-at-law in the gathering, but more than in any other class which was holding its reunion this year. These were Doris Barrett, Selma David, Alice Emery, Janet Harrington, and Hannah Porter. We learned that Gerry Babbitt was tea room hostess and Irene Legere had built up a pros- perous travel bureau agency. Robert Debettencourt and Louis Christoforo had become the leading auto mechanics in Leominster. Jane Drury, Raphaela Parent, and Leslie Peake, all happily married and no longer living in Leominster, were back last night to join in the merry- making. Gladys Duplease had been promoted to head cashier of Brockelman Brothers, Inc. Barbara Chesborough was employed in an insurance office in Fitchburg, as a typist. Gertrude Marquis was another of the girls who had ventured into the sea of matrimony along with Dot Mead, Catherine Rock, and Carolyn White. Janet Rowe was fashion editor of the Boston Post. Erminia Palumbo, Pearl Nelson, Maxine Nye, Lina Beaudette, and Vivian Perkins were all department store clerks. George Baldwin and Sidney Pennery were co-editors of the Leominster Daily Enterprise; John Benson was an interior decorator in New York. Ray Bresnahan and Pete Capone ran [ 28 | the Casino Pool Room; Rowland Hill, Eddie Sendrowski, and Ralph Morrow had become quali- fied electricians. Harold Stout, aided by Alex Bartimo, operated a well-known hunting lodge in the North Woods. Gerda Johnson was a teacher of physical education at Wellesley High School; Helen Kershaw was dean of girls at Columbia University; Lie utenant Francis Gettens was stationed at Fort Devens and hence was able to be with the crowd last night. When Mr. Mitchell had finished his resume of the Class of ’87 and what they were doing, Lucy Gentile and Josephine Fini famous terpischorean artists, went into their dance but they were interrupted by a loud cheering and shouting coming from the corridor. As the noise drew nearer one could make out the old long locomotive “‘L-E-O-M-I-N-S-T-E-R.”’ Soon this was explained when everyone recognized Bernard Vorse, Candido Torcoletti, John Rodrequenz, Gug Picucci, Gino Piano, Phil O’Brien, John MacDermott, Harry Horwitch and Francis Mager. They did a snake dance around the hall and in a short time were joined by almost everybody else. While this was going on, we inquired from Bud what these fellows were doing. Bernard, we were informed, was president of Vorse Painting and Paperhanging, Inc.: Tore, Johnny, Gug, and Gino were partners in the Italian-American Oil Co.; Mac was a Leominster contractor; Arthur, a supervisor in the Dupont-Viscoloid Plant; Phil, the district manager of the First National Stores; Harry, the president of the Independent Lock and Key Co. of Fitchburg; and Frannie a partner in the Harris Ice Co. By this time everyone was having a great time and the dancing had begun. We found that many of those who had refused to attend their Prom because of lack of dancing skill had certainly learned something new since they had left L. H.S. Well, Cheerio until 1960 when they’!l all be back for more! MARY KILLELEA, Chairman, BETTY DRAFFIN, EDWARD KILLELEA, FRANCIS LAMBERT. History of Class of WS7, September again! The new sophomore class, 204 strong, strutted up to high school and were welcomed with a cold reception by the upper-classmen. No time was lost, however, in digging out the football suits, and, lo and behold, we lowly sophs outdid ourselves by offering great players to the squad. The Blue and White succeeded in stealing a victory from unsuspecting Fitchburg on Thanksgiving Day. Soon football was forgotten and basketball took the spotlight. In the middle of the season, we struggled through those horrible mid-year examinations. The shock soon passed, and we could again direct our minds to more pleasant things. Not to be outdone by the male members of our class, the sophomore girls succeeded in es- tablishing five basketball teams. We sophomores were represented in the Better Speech Contest by two now famous speakers, Martin White and Hannah Porter. We lost in spite of their endeavors. Later, queer noises were heard coming from the Assembly Hall. Upon investigation we learned that tryouts were in process for the coming operetta, ‘““The Mikado,” which turned out to be a great success. Among the leads were Edward Killelea, Norman Girouard, Leo Cabana, and George Smith from our class. There were also many bashful sophomores in the chorus. The piano accompanist was Helen Kershaw. [ 29 ] | Spring arrived and with it baseball and track. In both of these we were well-represented. Again the girls showed some action by forming volley ball teams and starting with renewed vigor a tennis team, made up mainly of sophomores. After what seemed three years instead of one, June rolled around to put the lucky ones safe at last in the junior class. We had climbed out of the ranks of the “wise fools.”’ The Seniors sneered, “‘O Junior!”’, but we didn’t mind. We elected the following class officers: president, Edward Killelea; vice-president, Mary Killelea; secretary, Alfred Fournier; treasurer, Winifred Mager. A member of our class, Janet Harrington, led our band during the football season and was followed by our cheer leaders. On the squad we could easily make out a few of our heroes: Blod- get, Bresnahan, Fournier, LaPierre, Torcoletti, Lanza, Cormier, Mason, Petricca, Fiffy, H. Horwitch, and Rodriquenz. We also had some eminent orators. Sally David and Edward Killelea were our representa- tives in the Better Speech Contest. The year sped on and we saw our basketball heroes: Blodget, Fournier, Grinkas, Lanza, Bartlett, and DeBettencourt fighting for the L. H. S. We still retain memories of that glroious junior prom held on Feb. 14. Sapristi! Vioci Perrichon! However, here comes Le Commandant (Laserte), with his domestique (Cormier), to challenge Perrichon (Durand), to a duel. L’Aubergiste (LaPierre) is grinning behind his bar. ‘‘Perrichon’”’ was a huge success due to the joint and unselfish ef- forts of Mrs. Bucknell, Mr. Joyce, and the Cercle Francais. In spite of our very fine actors, we lost the Inter-Class Play Contest on April 29, 1986, when we produced “‘Station Y Y Y Y.” Some of our honor classmates were ushers at both the graduation and reception of the class of 1936. We were LORDLY SENIORS! When the football season came on, we had an opportunity to prove how big we were. Such veterans as Bresnahan, DeBettencourt, Rodriquenz, Harring- ton, Blodget, LaPierre, Fournier, Torcoletti, Ward, Mason, Cormier, Lanza, and Killelea were back to help Leominster carry on a successful year. Aline Grenache was chosen the new senior cheer leader. Our election of class officers was held, the results of which were: president, Laurie Cormier; vice-president, Mary Killelea; secretary, Alfred Fournier; treasurer, Winifred Mager. Our candidates in the Better Speech Contest were Aaron Viall and Lawrence Mitchell. The master of ceremonies was the genial and eloquent Martin White. On January 8, we held our senior promenade. It was the biggest financial success in late years. Again the basketball season was on. Our hoopsters included Blodget, Grinkas, Harring- ton, Lanza, Bartlett, DeBettencourt. The cast for the senior presentation, ‘‘Babbit’s Boy,’ in the second annual Inter-Class Play Contest was an able one and was comprised of R. Laserte, E. Zickell, H. Porter, L. Ander- son, E. Coleman, and R. Hobbs. Our senior play, ‘‘Pride and Prejudice’”’ was presented before a large and appreciative audi- ence, and again the cast and all the committees should be commended. On the diamond and track we saw many heroes of our class. Senior girls worked during the year with basketball, field hockey, tennis, track, volley ball, and badminton. June 23, our graduation day, rolled around all too fast and caused us to bid fond adieu to Leominster High School.

Pe Football On September 19, the Leominster High School Football Team started its season by defeating Putnam High of Connecticut by the score of 41-0. Arlington, Rogers High, and St. Bernard’s were then defeated in order. Leominster journeyed to Salem on October 29 and was defeated by that powerful team, but soon avenged its defeat by conquering Clinton, Gardner, and Winthrop respectively. The last game of the season was played on Thanksgiving Day against Fitchburg. The score after an exciting game in a field of mud was 7-6 in favor of Fitchburg. Basketball The Leominster High School Basket-Ball Team opened its season by defeating the Alumni 28-14. The school squad was composed largely of veterans from the previous year and a good season was anticipated. Leominster defeated its next two opponents, Clinton and Nashua, but was defeated by Fitchburg with the close score of 21-17. Nashua came here for its second try, conquering Leominster 32-18. Leominster then won its next four games from Gardner, Newbury- port, St. Bernard’s, and Gardner in a return game. Bartlett High and St. Bernard’s High both defeated Leominster in the next two games but she avenged these defeats by winning from Clinton. The last game of the season was played at Fitchburg. After a very hard and rough game Fitch- burg came out on top. The score was 38-32. Junior (Cllase History As we are all fully aware, until three or four centuries ago the resourceful and wonderful Redskins reigned sumpreme over the vast areas of this North American Continent. Another fact which has been deeply ensconced in our minds is that concerning the division of these great hordes . . . the tribes. Now supreme among the supreme were three particular tribes existing under the exciting appellations of Junior, Senior, and Sophomore. At one time a contest was held to find out which of these three was the greatest. At first the critics thought that the trio were very evenly balanced. but after a brief intense examination of their relative merits the judges of the contest were completely convinced of the Junior combine’s omnipotence; therefore we shall narrate the Junior history. This tribe banded together and began its remarkable career in the year nineteen hundred thirty-five. From the beginning the members of this clan showed outstanding talent in all phases of activity . . . physical and mental. Even during that primary year they accomplished feats of the first rank, but in the following three hundred sixty-five day period their deeds rocketed to unprecedented heights. Here’s how... : First, of course, there was Chief Edward ‘“‘Blush-In-Face” Garrity, fine leader with his share of virtues. Then, as there is always a woman behind a great man, there was Sub-Chief Anne “Charmer” Keville. The remaining two elders of the tribe were Secretary Chester “Chubby” Duval and Treasurer Marian ““Moneybag-Holder’’ Clark, a warrior and a maiden well worthy of their positions of responsibility. These four did an exceptional job in January when, with the valuable assistance of ap- pointees, they staged the annual war-dance, or, as it is commonly referred to, the Junior Prem. [ 48 ] : ——_ ? __ nn See en eS I Others who distinguished themselves that year were: first, Ernest “‘Big-Bear’’ Beaudoin, Albert “Muscle-Tough” Tatro, and Kenneth ‘Pigskin’ Wiley, reknowned for their bravery and ability on the football varsity; second, Harry ‘“‘Heap-Big-Wind”’ Mitchell, who received the gold medal in the Speech Contast for his superb original essay; third, Elizabeth ‘“‘Smart-All- Around” Burridge and Edward “Big-Brained”’ Kelly, both of whom did the impossible by making the first honor roll. Let us not forget the Junior winners in the Magnet Essay Contest, Vincent “Violin” Bisceglia, Fred ‘““Book-Worm”’ Houde, and Edward “Big-Brained” Kelly. We must also mention those individuals whose eiforts on the staff proved so indispensable to that splendid publication, the MAGNET: Vincent “Violin” Bisceglia, Robert “Hard-Worker’ Greenlaw, Charlene ‘Well-Liked” Wariger, Marcia ““Medusa”’ Falk, William ‘“‘Big-Brained” Kelly, Marcia “Merry” Lewis, Ruth “Soft-Sound”’ Demars, Kathleen ““Much-Pretty”’ Smith, Janet ‘The Tall One” Leeman, Anna “Popular” McCaffrey, Eileen ““Sphinxy’’ McCann, Eleanor ‘“‘Color-Splasher”’ Davis, Gaston “Grinning” Dargis, Anne “Charmer” Keville, Stuart ‘“‘Pineapple-Bob”’ Bicknell, Edward ‘“‘Blush-In-Face” Garrity, Claire “La” LaPierre, Nathan ‘“Famous” Foster, and Harry ““Heap-Big-Wind”’ Mitchell. Following are the names of those who deserve much credit for their stage work during the year: Lorraine “Twinkletoes” Richardson, Ruth ‘“‘Red-Head”’ Cruikshank, Janet ‘‘Pee-wee’’ Lehman, Rachel “Dark Eyes” Mercier, Olga “Little’’ Landon, Rodney ‘‘Lost-in-Fog’’ Karlson, Natalie ““English-Looking’”’ Hastings, Edward “Blush-in-Face” Garrity, William ‘“‘Big-Brained”’ Kelly, Mary ‘Actress’ Graham, Thelma ‘“Much-Mispronounced” Methe, Lucy ‘‘One-of-the’”’ Merciers, Harry “‘Heap-Big-Wind”’ Mitchell, Fred ““Book-Worm”’ Houde, Elizabeth ‘‘Peanut”’ Woodsmall, Donald “Song and Magic’ Lawton, Vincent ‘‘Violin” Bisceglia, Janet ‘“Hot-Fingers”’ Duval, Eleanor “‘Color-Splasher’’ Davis, and Florence ‘‘Accordion’”’ Rahowski. These records sufficiently reveal why the decision of the contest judges favored the Junior tribe. ‘Bon Voyage’’ to the champions; may they continue along the trail of fame! MARCIA FALK, WILLIAM KELLY, PAUL FINN. S ophomore Gin History Walking down corridors while patrols shout at us to keep in line, sitting rigidly upright in class, and slyly whispering when the teacher turns his back . . . all of these we left behind with good old Junior High. After a game of baseball, an afternoon in the old swimming hole, or a strenuous game of tennis, our minds often roved in idle expectation to our promising future in Senior High. Enthusiasm reached its peak on that brilliant September morn that marked, not only the opening of school, but the beginning of a new era containing all that one unselfishly desires. New friendships were formed; old ones were renewed, as stories of thrills, spills, and good times rent the air with more than habitual eagerness. Where to go seemed to be the predominating question. One of the new recruits, with puzzled consternation, strolled down to the public library when informed that he was wanted “at the library.”’ However, everyone soon became acclimated, as exemplified by the rapid advance of the Sophomores in scholastic and extra-curricular activities. In the first place we received distinction because of our numerous honor students. To be more explicit, six members of the sophomore class received the highest possible academic award, thereby over-shadowing the upper classes which could boast of only four. Lorayne Comeau, Dorothy Martin, Stephen May, Elsbeth Austel, William Laprade, and Gloria Kay were star students. The athletic enterprises of the school we supported with that fighting Leominster spirit, as one can easily see by scanning the basket ball and football rosters, which are studded with re- [437] markable sophomore talent. On the basket ball court, Jancaitis, Oozoonian, and Gordon were our sharpshooters for the school team. Sophomore room twenty defeated juniors and seniors alike to enter the finals of the inter-room basket ball tournament by virtue of a smooth working quintet featuring Roland Bates. Our outstanding prospects on the gridiron include Charles Owens, at halfback; Fred St. Cyr, a hard plunging fullback; DeCarolis, at guard; and a potential star end, ‘‘Stretch’’ Gordon. Woods and Cocci are two more of our strong contributions to the line, while Richard Fricke shapes up as our fighting quarterback. The girls’ basket ball teams are captained by four sophomores. Gertrude Gopfert, Fern Hardy, Dorothy Hirst, and Dorothy Martin pilot teams that have won reputable fame as win- ners. The members of the fair sex of our class are to be seen at all prominent social affairs. The senior class president is not the only admirer of their charms, as the private lives of other football gallants would reveal. Three of our class orators were entered in the Better Speech Contest, which was one of the extra winter activities. Ruth Fischer, Robert Bothwell, and Elsbeth Austel tried gamely to bring honor to their class. The last mentioned received honorable mention. The Inter-Class Play Contest afforded the Sophomores another opportunity to display their ability. ‘“‘Poor Richard” was presented by a picked cast of six members. Wallace Cunningham was awarded honorable mention for turning in a star performance. Elsbeth Austel, Dorothy Martin, Jack Yager, John Ward, and Jeanne Boyden also played important roles. The student body is indebted to the untiring work of the Speech Club, which is largely com- posed of theatrically ambitious sophomores, for many entertaining assemblies. Jack Yager and Nancy Roche have been active members. Our class has an overwhelming majority of musicians in the orchestra. Roger Pascarelli has proved peerless with a clarinet. All honors for courage and bravery should be given to that worthy sophomore, Thomas Houde, who made an heroic, but futile, attempt to rescue a floundering boy from the icy waters of Smith Pond. As this school year draws to a successful close, another chapter of honor is inscribed in the annals of the class of nineteen hundred thirty-nine. ROBERT BOTHWELL, E. AUSTEL. Class Ballot cont.

CLASS POEM lhe Shepherd Upon some sloping hill afar The shepherd led his flocks to graze, And looking up he saw through haze The glowing light of the morning star, The guiding torch that years before Had led the wisemen through the storm, With precious gifts and burdens borne, To lay them at His holy door. The star shone dim to him that looked, For in its light he found no cheer; But as he watched it through the year, It opened to him as a book. ‘Have I not yearned for nobler things, Of higher caste than herding brings? Methinks, that fate forebodes no sorrow, If yonder star I strive to follow.” He knew its meaning as it glistened, And hastened, telling those who listened, That yonder stood his goal on high, With all its glory in the sky. The shepherd turned his flock about And homeward set his joyful way, With lightened heart, and, lighter still His soul, to fare the coming day. And in the morning light he drew His cloak about his sturdy form. To guide his life with purpose new, His genius had been born. —EDWARD KILLELEA.

The bank teller, a little hard of hearing, thought she said, “Egg money,” and re- marked enthusiastically, “The old hens did pretty well this month.” Just because a girl wears one of the new hats shaped like a pancake is no sign she knows how to fry them. Maybe she just doesn’t know better. “This is a pretty shape to be in,” said the ice cream as it slid down the throat of the shapely girl. An unreasonable customer insisted a erocer’s stock wasn’t up-to-date because he tried to sell her a can of early June peas in October. oe Sporty: “Stop your dog from snapping at my feet.”’ Snappy: ‘Can I help it if your ventilated shoas look like his dog biscuits?”’ soph “oe talks Se Then there is the absent-minded professor who was asked at a dinner table if he would pass the nuts and replied: “Yes, but there are a few that I should flunk.”’ sce ae SEM Meet Miss Yokey, who tried to make a licorice omelet with egg coal.

One Junior says that the author of Gul- tiver’s Travels wrote to inform people about places which they would probably never visit, and that this author did not tell any strange improbable tales. This Junior personally thinks, however, that the narrator stretched most of the stories. And who was it that informed us that Kipling was still alive when he wrote Jn the Matter of a Private? Addison wrote part of the book As You Like It. Leonora was a queer woman and got pleasure out of doing queer things, such as having a library. And Norman tells us that Will Wimble, a character written about in the eighteenth century, was a P. W. A. man. She had pretty blue eyes, of medium height, and dark brown hair. (What is the medium height for eyes?) And did you hear that the passive voice is a quotation in past time? Verse is a kind metre used in writing a poem.
