THE MA 1938 History ‘al fie Class 1938 On a memorable day in September, 1935, the supposedly highly intelligent ninth graders swooped down upon Fort L. H. S. in an attempt to conquer the entire area in the role of the Sophomore Battalion. However, we were met with icy stares from those who considered them- selves superiors. We were also met with many missiles; such as, books, pencils, notebooks, and pens. After this reception we retreated to our own camp to plan a counter attack. Our op- portunity came when our great Field General Broderick called for volunteers to uphold the honor of L. H. S. against its numerous adversaries. We responded in a noble manner by offering for this worthy cause six or more gallant warriors. Another encounter to test the strength of this intrepid force presented itself in January— Battle of Mid-Years. Although some men were lost, the attack was fairly successful. Not to be outdone by our lofty superiors, our troops blossomed forth with five promising hoop-ringers. These were S. Bicknell, D. Rehor, N. Despotopulos, J. Letters, and C. Duval. Contrary to most rules, species of femininity were allowed in our ranks. Some of these fair damsels outdid themselves on the battlefields of hockey, basketball, and volley ball, under the able leadership of R. Gage and R. Sambito. In the spring of 1936 the lowly Sophs rose to unprecedented heights when they overwhelm- ingly defeated the Juniors in a battle of better acting. The haughty Seniors did not care to mingle with troope rs of such humble rank and therefore produced no play to compete in honest combat. Not long after this battle was won, another attack was met—The Battle of Spring Fever. Under this crushing blow our forces wilted and some were taken captives. Upon being released these unfortunates found that their comrades had been promoted by virtue of their merit, but, because they had fallen by the wayside, they had to struggle along in their former rank for another year. At this time the War Department issued a warrant declaring a two months’ furlough for the gallant troopers of Fort L. H.S. JUNIOR YEAR In September, 1936, our remaining warriors answered the call to arms. Immediately we proceeded to elect a commander-in-chief. We found a competent one in Edward ‘‘Romeo’”’ Garrity. Feeling the need for moral support we elected Anne “Vivacious” Keville, adjutant; Chester “Tin Whacker’”’ Duval, head of communication; and Marion “5 10” Clark, head of the treasury department. Our ever progressing warriors, who had been but a year before insignificant on the Battle- field of Football, now effloresced to show their merit in the game of Boot-and-Run. In February of 1987 the dauntless courage and inexhaustible energy of the Junior Class brought about the execution and perfection of a prom which so overshadowed the Senior attempt at a successful dance that their endeavor seemed insignificant. The Battle of Better Speech was the next skirmish in which the Junior Battalion showed its true colors. We called upon Lieutenant Harry Mitchell, whose speeches were never vapid and whose addresses intrigued all his listeners. He came through with flying colors by winning the coveted gold medal and in so doing upheld the standard of our troop. When the time came for the Seniors to say “au revoir” to Fort L. H. S. they called upon us, Juniors, to assist them at their reception. Of course we obliged them, and the affair was a success. SENIOR YEAR Upon returning from another much needed furlough we started off with a bang. The same officers were in charge except that Ruth “Dicky”’ Gage was elected vice-president. The football season rolled around again and the Seniors practically ran the whole team. At right end there was Bill ‘Bottle’? Beaudoin; at tackle Bing “Crosby” Bresnahan; at guard, 24 THE MA Al “‘Usherette” Tatro; at center, Kenny ‘‘Muscle Bound” Wiley; at guard, John “Blue Book’”’ Crain; at tackle, Alex ‘‘Wittle’’ Buchan; and at end, “Tawny” Basque. In the backfield were Doug “Steamroller” Rehor, Doria ‘‘Porcupine’’ Remy, Elson “Southpaw” Race, and Carlo “Spaghetti” Marrone. These soldiers were all on the first string, of course. There were also many others who took part in this man’s game but we have not the space to mention them. The greatest display of Seniors was seen on Thanksgiving Day when the combined Blue and White warriors defeated Fitchburg by a score of 26-6. About this time the entire group of residents of L. H. S. mourned the death of the National Commander, Dr. Perry. We also lost our Fort Commander, Mr. Appleton, who was selected to take Dr. Perry’s place. However, we were consoled by the fact that Mr. Davis of Orange would take over the post recently vacated and try to hold his forces together. He did, and every- thing has gone on as before. The next event of note was the Senior Prom, a prom which exceeded anything ever before beheld in the Fort. However, our glory was short lived as Mid-Years again stared us in the face. Upon these curses put on us, hinged the verdict of whether we should step out into the world free men or return for another year at the Fort on the hill. In March of this year the Seniors again distinguished themselves on the battlefield of acting by winning the play contest with an excellent production of ““Not Quite Such a Goose’’. On May 26, 1938 the Senior Battalion presented a successful play. The proceeds of this stage success went toward a gift for our beloved Fort L. H. 8. and toward furnishing an orchestra for a magnificent reception, which was attended by most of the Senior Battalion and was given in honor of the members reaching their majority. Class Prophecy Ten years hence we find Edward Garrity, president of the Class of ’88 and present manager of the Garrity Amusement Corporation, strolling along Broadway. What’s this? Ritz Theatre— On our stage in person—World’s greatest magician—Donald Lawton and his sensational acts of wizardry. Garrity attends the show, and after the performance he goes back stage. Are these two happy to see each other? Such embraces! The two then go out to Davidio’s Spaghetti Shop where ‘‘Despo”’ and Alice Becrelis are making their debut as professional dancers. After fillmg up on good old Italian spaghetti and meatballs, the two friends sit back comfortably, prepared to recall old times and old friends. “Say, Don, you were pretty good at taking things out of the air in that show tonight. I wonder if you could look into the air and find out what the members of old L. H. S. 388 are doing?” “Well, I believe I can! Abra-Cadabra! Fum! Fum! Fum! We’re off. Let us visit Frances O’Grady, head nurse at the Children’s Hospital in New York. Kay Boynton, Harriet Foster, Dot Kendall, and Claire Tourigny are on her nursing staff. My, but they’re popular with the little tots! “And now to look in on the ballroom of the new Fifth Avenue hotel. As the feature dancer of the evening, I see Lorraine Richardson. Richard Hemenway and Norman Hicks are having a battle of music. Both lead big bands and are ‘hot trumpet players’. All of these are old friends of ours, aren’t they, Eddie?”’ “Yes, sir! Are any of the guests there to-night members of our class?” “Tet me see! Say, there’s Marcia Falk, the famous book critic for the New York Times. Ruth Gage, who is now gym instructor at Vassar, has just come in wearing a gown designed by Natalie Harrison in her Paris Shoppe. By the way, Florence Rakowski and Helen Perz are working with Natalie. This hotel certainly is a gala night spot. Here comes Clara DeWitt, the feature 25 1938 THE MA 1938 writer for the New York Sun. She is being escorted to the main office by Andrew Bernard, head clerk.” “Say, Don, what are our smooth-tongued class essayists doing? Remember what a credit they were to us on graduation night?” “Foster and Burridge are running one of the biggest law firms in the country. They’re located on Tremont Street, in Boston. Their head secretary, Anita Pizzuti, has quite a number from our class assisting her. Yes, there’s Claire LaPierre, Glenda Caswell, Claire Gaillardet, Rachel Mercier, and Natalie Wheeler. They certainly give that great law office an appearance of real efficiency. ‘‘Just across the street from our old friends’ law office is a beauty salon operated by Dorothy Stewart. The staff of workers consists of Harriet Cook, Elinor Dohla, and Natalie Holden. Perhaps you'd be interested to know that the beautiful modernistic interior was designed by Mary Leahey, while Doris Hetchell and Ruth Robbins did the paintings on the walls.” “T wonder if you could tell me what became of Mitchell and Carter and our orator, Bill Kelley.” “Why, Mitchell and Carter are lawyers. They have just conferred with that great business executive, Bill Kelley, and are now listening to Jack Portney’s ‘Hello’ program over the radio.” “What ever became of our musicians, Don?” “Well, Bisceglia and his Symphonic Orchestra are to give a concert in Radio Gite Music Hall to-night. Some familiar faces appear in his orchestra. There are Cynthia Pike and Ellen Bessey. Janet Duval, music supervisor at Vassar, is giving a piano solo on this same program.” ““Remember those inseparable couples back in school, Don? I wonder how they’re getting along?”’ “Mil Lane and Wiley are still going strong. He is principal of the Lowe High School, while she is the English teacher there. Maybe I should mention that others on the teaching staff are Norman Stacy, Al Tatro, John Crain, and Robert Gamache. And now that I’m on the subject of youth instruction, I’m reminded of Duval and Clark. They are a pair who certainly take an interest in youngsters. Duval is a scout executive and runs a boy scout camp in Flathill County, while Marion has charge of a girls’ camp there. “Keville and Rehor aren’t doing so bad. Anne is head nurse at the Children’s Hospital in Boston, and Dougie’s job, as a traveling salesman for a large drug syndicate, makes it necessary for him to visit the hospital very frequently. Remy and Hetchell are married and are living a happy life on their Dairy Farm. Buss, Tremblay, Brown, and Transue, by the way, are working for Doria.” ““T don’t suppose we turned out any ‘Lou Littles’ from our class, did we, Don?” “Well, at least not at present, but Race, Beaudoin, and Siciliano are coming right up as good football coaches. Robert Greenlaw, editor of The Daily Storm, prints many articles con- cerning these coaches. His reporter, Marcia Lewis, is responsible for most of the news. She has just interviewed Fred Houde, ‘pro’ hockey player, and now is conversing with Jack Letters, head basketball coach at N. Y. U. ‘Just a moment, Eddie, I see smoke. Yes, it’s a fire. Finn’s chain store, at that! Here comes the fire truck with its crew of fire fighters. Say, there’s Legault, Bailey, H. Arsenault, and Bouvier fighting the flames. Gerald Leary is doing police duty, restraining the excited crowd. The Swanky Shoe Shoppe, run by Martino, Mascis, and Gentile is located right across the street. They have established a thriving business there. Celli, Gauthier, Lundigen, Peck, Palazzi, and Lambert are the expert clerks of this business house.”’ “What became of all those expert typists from our class, Don?” “Oh, they are working with a variety of concerns. Clarice Gurney, Mary Graham, Arlene Lafrance, Doris Duval, ais Loretta Ballard are employed in the main office of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey.” “Smith and Hubbard, electrical engineers, fag quite an array of girls working in the office. There are Ruth Sambito, Kathleen Smith, Doris Cabana, Janet Powers, Gertrude Lucier, and Ruth Cruikshank. Dargis is at the head of the sales department with Lemoine as his assistant.” 26 THE 1938 MA “‘We had some mechanically inclined young men in our class, Don. What are they doing?” “Rugg and Todd are civil engineers. Right here in New York in what will soon be a great memorial park, I see two familiar figures, Bill Palmer and Harold Mosher, both landscape gar den- ers. Palmer has just inspected some fine maple trees, and Mosher is very busy planning the Washington Memorial Garden. “Crash! Bing! Bang! An accident. Here comes the ambulance, driven by Bruce Blood. Adrien Lemire and Floyd Hendricks, hospital attaches, are putting the victims in the ambulance. They are off to the hospital. Eleanora Bizzarri, Claire Carter, and Lucy Mercier, the surgical doctors, are fixing the wounds. The following nurses are assisting them: Bernice Cocci, Ruth Demars, Shirley Dietz, Violet Edmand, Priscilla Nickerson, and Enith Blodget.’ “Say, Don, how about taking me to Hollywood. I’m sure some of our old friends are there.” “OQ. K., Eddie. Georgie Lavoie and Edwin Rogers will fly us over in their plane with Gertrude Person, stewardess, looking out for our every comfort. Say, Eddie, some of the passengers look rather familiar. Over there behind that beard is Doc Bicknell, star forward for the House of David basketball team; Eleanor Davis, illustrator for Harper’s Bazaar is also aboard. Well, we’re landing, Eddie. Look at the mob at the airport. This is certainly a busy place.” “See anybody we know?” “Tet me see, there’s Janet Lehman, Helen Olsen, Dorothy Nolan, Florence Willard, and Lillian Verge. These girls are training to be stewardesses. Arlene Rydberg is training them.” ‘“‘Are a ny members of our class in any shows out here, Don?”’ “Yes, ‘The Follies Gallante’ is using some of the girls from L. H. S. ’38. Among the hot- footers are Dot Floyd, Mary Flanagan, Bertha Edstrom, Beverly Johnson, and Giacomina Iacaboni. Proietti and Landon are playing leads in the show. “Say, Eddie, there’s an imposing looking building next to the theatre where our old friends are playing. Let me see, what is it, anyway? Oh, yes, that’s Charlie Remy’s tap-dancing school. The rhythm teachers are Angelina Celli, Lucille Lafrance, Christian Hazard, and Janet Leeman.” “You know, Don, I often wonder what became of all those girls who had aspirations to become teachers.” “Well, the names of Wariger, Hayes, Hastings, Hartwell, and Kelley are familiar ones in good old Leominster High. Hester Kern is running a kindergarten in Lowell. And speaking of Lowell, do you know, Eddie, that Ruth Craigue is running the Fineats Cafe in that city? Firmani, her expert chef, is the one who concocts the savory dishes that have made this cafe so popular.” “T have often wondered, too, whether any of our class turned out to be athletes. We had some pretty good ones back in 38.” “Well, Rehor and Basque are well-known in the Tennis World. They have just won the doubles championship. Robinson and Lacombe, the judges, said that they never saw such a wonderful display of teamwork before. “Bill Bresnahan is the spark plug of the fastest ‘pro’ football team in the country, ‘The Shrivelers.’ “Mary Bird is off to the Olympics to take part in the women’s swimming races. She has already won many prizes and I know she’ll win in this race, too. “Say, Eddie, I can hear with my mental ear as well as I can see with my mental eye. And right now I hear music. What is it? To be sure, it’s the sweet melodious plinks of Girouard’s guitar. It was Spadafore’s idea to give music with service at his Gulf Gasoline Shoppe. Marjorie Ellis with her Supercharged ‘Willy’ is taking advantage of this musical service. Tsh! Tsh! Such ideas!” “Hine work so far, Don, I wonder if your sixth sense can impart the whereabouts of any more of our classmates.”’ “To do this I must take you with my mental eye to the Washington Memorial Hospital. This beautiful big hospital is a busy place. Hello, there’s the first familiar face. Postman Ray Descoteaux is entering with the mail. As he deposits the pack of letters, I notice again and again 27 THE MA 1938 the names of Dr. Everett Colburn, and Miss Muriel Letarte, superintendent of nurses. Ap- proaching the clerk’s desk are two visitors. Yes, no other than those two inseparables, Grace Lavell and Mildred Langlais, both of whom teach school just outside Washington. They are given permission to go into the wards, and I see them stopping frequently to chat with some of the trim and smiling nurses—Mary MacPhee, Anna McCaffrey, Eileen McCann, Barbara Maston, and Thelma Methe.”’ “Our class boasted of some real nature lovers, you know, the John Burroughs type. How about them?”’ “Away we go from the beautiful city of Washington but to an equally beautiful place four hundred miles north. Up in the Catskills I see a jolly group of our old friends—Beatrice Murray, Anna Langley, Angelina Lanza, and Betsy Morrill. Every year these school teachers spend their vacation in this beautiful mountain retreat. They have just returned from an all day mountain climb with Robert Lawler, Mirror Lake Lodge owner and expert mountain climber. How happy they all look, sitting before the open fire-place, in the rustic atmosphere of this beautiful pine- scented lodge!”’ “Say no more, Don, or I'll be tempted to desert you and take the next train north myself.” “Just as you say, Eddie. Anything to please the president of good old ’38. I hardly think our class picture would be complete without including Virginia Smith, Irene Smith, Lena Valeri, Elizabeth Woodsmall, and Ida Zickell. I see them all in positions of responsibility — some in the school room, others in schoo! offices and business offices. “T say, Eddie, here’s a chance for you to concentrate your vision. Observe the two young ladies being seated at the next table. Surely you remember Barbara Lancey and Inez MacDonald. They’re social service workers now, here in the big City.” “T move, Mr. Lawton, that without further delay we ask permission to join the young ladies and offer a toast to all of our old classmates that I: have seen through your eyes tonight.” ‘Agreed! a toast for the health, happiness, and prosperity of the class of 1938.” WW io Se ihonmerhe Faculty Miss Lillian M.

The officers are as follows: President—Muriel Letarte Vice-President—Russell Lemoine Secretary—Lucy Mercier Treasurer—Claire Gaillardet Oo” THE 1938 MA Reel be Track Notes The track season got under way in April when Coach Burnham issued a call for candidates. Because spring football delayed the appearance of many candidates, the first turn out was small. Besides dual meets with Maynard, Beckers’ College, Gardner, Lexington, Concord, and Marlboro, an interclass meet was held April 25, and a relay in Fitchburg, May 21. The candidates, first to appear and to contribute their share to a successful season, were Gettens, Peck, Shattuck, Bisceglia, Proietti, Emmerling, Willard, James, Mazzaferro, Spadafore, Comiskey, Garrity, Bigelow, Lundigan, Worthen, Lavoie, Cote, Nichols, and Bergeron. Bicknell, Peterson, and Bassett proved to be able managers. 38 THE 1938 MA live Speech Club A very busy and successful year was completed by the Speech Club, under the capable direction of Miss Lillian Ricker and the officers: Edward Garrity, president; Ruth Gage, vice- president; Dorothy Martin, secretary; Fred Houde, treasurer. None of the national holidays passed by without recognition of some sort by the Speech Club members. Plays were given, and pupils wrote and gave speeches in honor of the memories of the great men whose birthdays we celebrate. Leominster High took an active part in the annual Play Contest sponsored by the Speech Club. The Sophomores produced “Green Shadows’’; the Juniors, ‘‘Safety Pins First’’; the Seniors, “Not Quite Such A Goose.” Although the plays were all enacted very well, the Seniors were selected the winners. A delegation of seven members of the Club competed in the National Forensic League Speak- ing Tournament with the result that Dorothy Church and Vincent Longo placed and were eligible to enter the State Contest at Fall River. Every year the Speech Club is increasing in its membership and accomplishments. oo THE 1938 MA ae ho A os Sees ar Health Council The Health Council members for 1937-88 are as follows: Richard Arnold Joseph Mascis Thaddeus Bell Thelma Methe Enith Blodgett Priscilla Nickerson Howard Genano Patricia Patten William Gettens George Peck Emidio Martini Lucia Piermarini Janet Woods A() | THE 1938 MA Art Club The Art Club, during the illness of Miss Hilda Hopkinson, has been under the supervision of Mrs. Fenton. The club has exhibited many fine paintings and works in charcoal and pastels. The officers elected for this year are as follows: President—Eleanor Davis Vice-President—Natalie Harrison Secretary and Treasurer—Claire Carter Al THE MA 1938 Baseball After a series of interclass games, the baseball squad was selected to represent the school. The team was built around the veterans Race, Lavoie, Kelly, Rehor and Smith. During the interclass games, Coach Broderick found many promising candidates among the sophomores and juniors. Those underclass men who won starting assignments were Bullard, Grinkas, Johnson, and Small. This year’s season was one that had several exciting games, including St. Bernard’s, Gardner, Clinton, Marlboro, Athol, and Townsend. The team finished a very successful season with both Smith and Rehor pitching fine ball. A2 THE 1938 MA Bowling Club The Bowling Club is one of the most popular clubs in the high school. The club meets every Monday afternoon at Tagg’s Alley under the supervision of Miss Weckbacher. On April sixteenth members were privileged to go to Boston to compete with other students for the state championship. The officers are: President—John Crain Vice-President—Ruby Green Secretary—Amedio Martini Treasurer—Jane Drury THE 1938 MA Basketball The basketball team, which proved to be the strongest turned out since the team of “32”, was built around the three letter men; Rehor, Letters, and Bicknell. The team opened the season against the strong Alumni team. This game resulted in a hair raising victory of 32-31 for the High School. The following week they took Amesbury into camp 38-24, only to be turned back 22-17 by St. Bernard’s the following Friday. Lowell High, last years’ M. I. T. Tournament champs, proved too strong for our local five, who were defeated by nine floor shots. The following week Broderick’s men split in a series with Nashua in two closely hard fought games—the first at Nashua 32-27 in their favor and the last game in Leominster 38-35. In the next seven games against such teams as Clinton, Gardner, Webster, St. Bernard’s, and Beckers, we saw our team face defeat but twice. These setbacks which were lost by only one floor goal each, were from the hands of Bartlett High of Webster and St. Bernard’s of Fitchburg. The Fitchburg game, which nearly turned back the history of the ages, was played in the new Fitchburg Senior High School gym before a crowd of a thousand fans. Going into the final period of this game, Leominster was leading by one point, but this lead did not last long for the Fitchburg basketeers caged in three baskets to win the game 27-22. With this fine exhibition of basketball playing—a record of eight wins against seven defeats —Leominster closed another successful season. A4 THE 1936 F ootball The football team under the capable leadership of our unsurpassable coaches, Charlie Broderick and Ted Kucharski, returned to our Alma Mater the beautiful Haldie Nicholson trophy, which now is mounted in our school library. With but two letter men on the squad, namely Bill Beaudoin and Al Tatro, the team opened its season against the small scrappy Johnson High of North Andover. This game proved to be an easy victory for Leominster. The following Saturday the team rose to its height by upsetting that strong powerful Arlington combination by one touchdown. In this game we will long remember the 40 yard heroic touch- down run made by Carlo Marrone after receiving the winning pass from Doug Rehor, and also the remarkable job done in the line by Tatro, Bresnahan, Beaudoin, and Wiley. The following week Leominster suffered a let-down, being held to a scoreless tie against Worcester Classical, only to regain its undefeated honors October 12 by running up a score of 25-0 against St. Bernard’s in a hard fought game. The long tiresome trip to Newport proved to be too much for the players; the team received a 25-0 setback, the only setback of the season. The next four consecutive victories over Clinton, Chelsea, Cambridge Latin, and Gardner, won by large margins, helped to place the blue and white near the top in the ranking of the State’s teams. Although Leominster scored three touchdowns against the Milltown, the hard fought contest held many breath-taking moments. (If my word is doubted, look at Remy’s nose or ask him how it feels.) As the annual Thanksgiving day game was to be played at Doyle Field, Leominster was favored to win from her arch rival Fitchburg High. The score 26-6 in favor of Leominster indicates a Leominster day all the way. In this game we saw such stars as Race, Rehor, Marrone, Remy, Beaudoin, Bresnahan, Basque, Wiley, and Capt. Tatro wear their Blue and White jerseys for the last time in the history of the school. With this fine record established by the team of “‘37’’ the Senior Class, as weil as the letter men, wish the team of ‘‘38”’ the same success. 45 Class Will We, the following Seniors, who are about to die out of all class activities, do hereby of our own free will and without malice bequeath to you, fortunate undergraduates, all of our outstanding traits, qualities, and characteristics.

CLASS ESSAYS ee Constitution of the United States One of the most talked about subjects in national affairs and one which is constantly ap- pearing in newspapers throughout the country is the Constitution of the United States. Because such discussions have resulted in the spreading of facts, fiction, and fancy concerning this document so vital to our welfare, an examination of the actual contents of the Constitution might give us a clearer conception of it. But first we should review briefly the circumstances under which the Constitution was drawn up, in order to have a more intelligent and a less emotional appreciation of this document. The picture of 1787 was this: business was demoralized; paper money which was printed by the various states was practically worthless; the Congress couldn’t even raise enough money to pay the interest on the national debt, to say nothing of paying its soldiers; there was a great deal of internal strife, and much ridicule from abroad. The reasons for such conditions existing under the Articles of Confederation, our first Constitution, were numerous: The Articles of Confedera- tion created a one branch system of government—the legislative. The legislative branch could make laws, but had no power to enforce them. The Congress could declare war, but could not enlist a single soldier. It could only make requisitions for soldiers from the states. The Congress could not levy taxes, but was obliged to accept what sums the states wished to contribute. In short, the Articles of Confederation gave the Federal Government no power or force whatsoever; and without the ability to exert force, a government is a government in name only. 49 THE 1938 MA Naturally, when the Constitutional Convention was called in 1787, the delegates tried to remedy these conditions by creating a new Constitution. As most of you know, the Federal Government was given the power to lay and collect taxes; it was also given adequate powers to deal with foreign affairs, to control our monetary system, to regulate inter-state commerce, and to deal with other national problems. If we examine this, our present Constitution, more closely, we find it commences with the preamble, which states the reason and need for the existence of the Constitution: ‘““We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” Then the Constitution in the first three Articles provides the framework of our government, which consists of three departments: the executive, which carries out the laws; the leglislative, which makes the laws; and the judicial, which interprets the laws. It also states the rights and privileges of each. A remarkable feature of this constitutional government is the check and balance system. Under this system governmental power is divided and subdivided among the various sets of public agents in such a way that these various agents act as a check upon one another; thus they form a stabilizing force in the government. There is a division of power between the Federal Government and the state government; this power is further distributed among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches so that each branch constitutes a check upon the other two. Strangely enough, under the section which states the rights and privileges of the judiciary, there is no clause giving this branch the right to declare acts of Congress unconstitutional. Never- theless, this does not necessarily mean that the courts do not now have that power, because that right has been recognized and permitted for over one hundred years. Such a tradition has, in reality, the force of law. Article IV deals with the relationship of the states to one another and to the national govern- ment. This Article also states that the rights of the citizens of one state shall be recognized by all states. Because a constitution has to be changed to meet changing conditions, the provision for amendment was included. Article VI deals with the national debt and the supremacy of national law; and the last Article states what ratification should be necessary to establish the Constitution. These seven Articles made up our second Constitution as it was presented to the states for ratification. However, in effect, the first ten amendments, known as the Bill of Rights, were an original part of the Constitution, as the Constitution was ratified with the understanding that these amendments should be added as soon as they should meet the necessary requirements for amendment. The Bill of Rights grants among other things, freedom of speech, press, and religion, peaceable assemblage, and freedom of life and liberty. The abolition of slavery, authorization of income taxes, woman suffrage, regulation of the terms of Congress and of the President, and the prohibition amendment are some of the provisions of the remaining eleven amendments. But these twenty-one amendments show anything but a complete picture of the changes that have taken place since the adoption of the Constitution. The Supreme Court’s interpretations of the implied powers of the Constitution have broadened its meaning, so that it has applied to more situations than the framers could have possibly dreamed. Such phrases as ‘“‘due process,”’ “necessary and proper,’”’ and “general welfare’? have made the Constitution a very flexible document, and these are probably the main reasons for its surviving 150 years. Because we hear so much of constitutionality today, we are interested in the fact that many authorities contend our second Constitution is itself unconstitutional. The reason they give for this contention is that the Continental Congress appointed delegates for the “‘sole and expressed purpose of amending the Articles of Confederation.’”’ These delegates found this task to be 50 THE 1938 MA practically impossible; therefore they drew up a new constitution. They should have asked the Congress for new powers; however, failing to do this, they were acting outside their consti- tutional rights. Although this incident is very interesting, it is an academic question rather than one of reality. Since our Constitution has weathered innumerable storms of every description for the past century and a half, it has given a rather firm foundation to that often quoted statement of William Gladstone’s: “The American Constitution is the most wonderful work ever struck off at a given time by the brain and purpose of man.” —NATHAN FOSTER. The People of America In discussing the Constitution of the United States we cannot present a complete picture unless we consider the peoples who, in the last analysis, make this Constitution a vital thing. When we say the American people, just what do we mean? From what people do we trace our ancestry? Today the world is a turbulent place with borders and countries changed and upset by wars, with political intrigues and plots rampant everywhere. Amid this chaos, still holding fast to democracy and the principles of liberty stand the American people—a people who still rejoice in freedom of worship, freedom of the press, and freedom of political rights. We all know that the American civilization has been built up by the intermingling of different races of people from all parts of the globe. America is familiar to all of us as ‘the melting pot” of the world. Briefly, I shall try to trace the different groups of people who, inspired by ideals and noble aims, have contributed much to the development of this great country. In the year 1620 the Pilgrims, searching for a land where they might obtain religious freedom, anchored in Plymouth, off the shore of Massachusetts. Here they found a cold barren wilderness; yet they determined to go on, oblivious to all rigorous and heart-rending experiences. Eight years later Salem was settled by the Puritans, who, wishing to flee from their very quarrelsome and despotic king, decided to follow in the footsteps of the Pilgrims. They, too, underwent many discouraging tribulations, especially in contending with the Indians and in maintaining an adequate food supply. However, their courage and persistency, handed down to their descendants, carried them to success. Influenced by the glowing account of Henry Hudson, the Dutch West-India Company sent an expedition to establish fur-trading posts in America; of these the most important was at Albany. The Dutch, a thrifty, scrupulous, tidy, and industrious race, more than aided in the growth of the American personality. In the year 1634 a group of venturesome English gentlemen and several hundred laborers, of whom nearly all were Catholics, established themselves in Maryland. They were said to have suffered more than the members of any other creed in England. Because they, also, desired religious freedom, their colony was founded as a haven for persecuted Catholics. Being an ambitious group of men, they hoped to obtain riches, as well as freedom, in this “Land of Opportunity.” Among our many immigrants, were the Scotch-Irish. In their native land Parliament had deprived them of their only means of livelihood. The woolen industry, which had made them famous, was prohibited. Wishing to begin life anew in another country, they came to America. Strong, vigorous, and energetic in their undertakings, they gave a worthy heritage to our country. Every class of people now mentioned came to this country for just one reason: freedom— freedom from religious tyranny, radical restrictions, and economic inequalities existent in their mother countries. 51 THE MA 1938 With high hopes and ideals, they braved the dark ocean waters to be confronted by a country of utter desolation. Misty-eyed they looked with a longing in their hearts for a happiness they believed they deserved. Through united effort in the year 1776, the Americans were able to announce their freedom from all other countries. They believed themselves to be strong enough to be independent and free from all ties. This they soon proved to the world. In the year 1860 Congress, realizing the need for laborers in this country, stimulated im- migration by allowing immigrants to pledge their wages in advance for the payment of their passage to the United States. This plan, Congress believed, would be a success. They knew that immigrants had contributed much to this country—wealth, power, and a means of developing our resources. Although this law was soon repealed, the practice of importing laborers under bond was long continued. , One of the most important factors in the growth of population in later years was the rapid settlement of the West by foreign immigrants; among them, Italians, Russians, Jews, Bohemians, Hungarians, and Swedish people. With high hopes they came to this country and labored un- ceasingly. Even today we pay tribute to our foreign-born citizens. I wonder if we realize that the famous editor of the “Ladies Home Journal’ was Edward William Bok, born in Holland. As an expression of his thanks to the American flag, he built the Singing Tower at Florida. All of you, I know, have heard of Samuel Gompers, born in England, who was the founder of the American Federation of Labor. Those who are interested in the theater, perhaps, have heard of Oscar Hammerstein, who was born in Germany. He still influences our musical comedies, although he has been dead since 1919. Another of whom we should be proud is Alexander Melville Bell, an educator, born in Scotland. He developed in Washington, D. C. a system of visible speech for the use of deaf mutes. In 1920, Bok, who ascribes much of his success to American opportunities, said: “As the world stands today, no nation offers opportunity in the degree that America does to the foreign Dorn sea eee Here a man can go as far as his abilities will carry him. America can graft such a wealth of inspiration, so high a national idealism, so great an opportunity for the highest endeavor, as to make him the fortunate man of the earth today. “The sky is the limit’ to the foreign-born who comes to America endowed with honest endeavor, ceaseless industry, and ability to carry through.” The United States still offers her inhabitants countless opportunities, freedom of speech and worship, and democratic ideals! Her immigrants have brought her new conceptions which have varied those of her early settlers, making American life ‘‘a fabric woven of many-colored strands.” —ANITA PIZZUTI. Democracy and theaeousteceen What is democracy? Democracy is that form of government in which the people determine how and by whom they shall be governed. Our democracy is not a pure democracy, one in which the people govern themselves directly. We delegate to a comparitively small group the power to govern us, although we retain the ultimate authority. By 1787 history had shown our forefathers that, if such authority was to remain in the possession of the people, a written document was necessary. Therefore, the delegates to the Constitutional Convention determined to draw up a written constitution. The document resulting from the efforts and wisdom of these men is the Constitution of the United States, in which is found perhaps the most complete and accurate expression of the ideals of democracy. Certainly, the fundamental rights of a citizen under such a government are enumerated in the first ten amendments. One of the most important ideals of democracy is THE MA stated in the first amendment—that of freedom of speech, of religion, and of the press. The seizure of the property of private individuals for public use without due compensation, the quar- tering of troops in homes during wartime or peace time without the consent of the owners, and the unauthorized search and confiscation of people’s homes and property without just cause are prohibited by the third, fourth, and fifth amendments. Amendments six, seven, and eight guarantee the right of any citizen to have a speedy trial by jury, to obtain for himself or to be given a counsel for his defense, and to be secure from unfair fines and harsh punishments. Who would deny that these are the inalienable personal rights in such a country as ours? However, documents of this kind are of no value if the people are not eternally vigilant and are not familiar with their constitution. Even now in America and abroad authorities are beginning to wonder if democracy can be successfully worked out. America is filled with unemployment, crime, political corruption, and depression in spite of the fact that our Constitution was con- structed to establish just the opposite conditions. If we believe that the Constitution embodies the aims set forth in the preamble,—and if it does not, how could it have remained in use for 150 years—, then we must come to the conclusion that the cause for the existing economic, social, and political evils lies not in the theory of democratic government but in the practice of such a government. However, these conditions are not altogether disheartening for, as the old saying goes, “Problems are the growing pains of a nation.’”’ Nevertheless, we must make improvements. Undoubtedly, these troubles are the outcome of our increasing callousness toward our duties as good citizens. Such an attitude results in the impotency and the discard of even written constitutions. If in becoming neglectful of our responsibilities we allow our government to fall into the grasp of politicians seeking to gratify their own whims and ambitions, regardless of whether these desires are conducive to the good of the nation as a whole; if we leave the governing duties to certain minority groups who do not understand or sympathize with our philosophy of government; if we Americans, although educated and intelligent, fail to take an active part in our government; if we act as poor citizens and neglect our responsibilities because we have come to believe, rightly or wrongly, that we may secure no justice, economic, social, or political, then we must be prepared to have our democracy seriously challenged. I believe that all of us here tonight will concede that democracy is on trial and that we are one of the last strongholds between democracy and autocracy. We must realize that democracy has only an insecure footing in the world at the present time while autocracies are increasing in number and influence. Since we must now make a last stand for our formula of government if we do not wish to see it decay and crumble into ruins, we must ask ourselves the questions: “How can we, individually and collectively, make permanent our form of government? Where shall we begin to correct the aforementioned faults?” Is there any better place to start than in the home? Does not the home form the backbone of a nation? Is not a child greatly influenced by what he is taught in his home? Does not his home life determine the type of person he will become? Moral and religious lessons are taught to children. Why should we not instruct our children in our government? Let us instill into their minds the ideals of democracy, familiarize them with the Constitution of the United States, emphasize the reading of reliable texts on government and politics, of impartial and informative editorials; and let us impress upon them the necessity of becoming dependable, intelligent citizens. We of this graduating class are not fully prepared to assume the responsibilities required of us as we enter the complex business, social, and political life of today. We have not been given adequate training in our homes and schools. We need more extensive and complete courses in economics, sociology, and government in our high schools. The study of such subjects is as important and necessary as the study of languages and mathematics. We must teach ourselves and our children to remember always the principles of democracy, to study thoroughly the Constitution, and to make critical and intelligent analyses of all propa- ganda, whether we read it in the newspapers or hear it from our so-called news commentators. Let us stop clinging blindly to a party because our fathers before us belonged to such a party. D3 1938 THE MA 1938 Let us adhere to that party whose doctrine best expresses our principles of democracy. Only in this way can we eliminate successfully our many social, political, and economic injustices. We of the present generation with the help of your advice and experience sincerely wish to do our share toward putting America, one of the youngest and wealthiest nations in the world, back on its feet. Let us work together so that we may have a “more perfect union,” so that we may establish “justice” and “domestic tranquility,” and so that we may “secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” —ELIZABETH BURRIDGE. Did We Pass? Graduates of 1938: As you receive the diploma which symbolizes your successful completion of twelve grades of public school, I am wondering if we who are responsible for the planning and execution of your education have been successful. You, at least, have had the satisfaction of receiving marks in the subjects you’ve taken. We, on the contrary, may never know whether we have “‘passed.” You and the millions of other American boys and girls who are being graduated from high school this month hold the answer to our question “‘Did we, your teachers, pass?”’ We have passed if most of you will pick up Time, Newsweek, or Readers’ Digest from a table in preference to a movie magazine. If you talk politics in preference to idle gossip. If, in three or four years you cast your ballot “in local, state and national elections, not omitting the primaries, instead of saying, “I'll stay at home. What’s one vote amount to?” If your reactions to vital issues in American life are based on careful study of all available facts instead of on response to cleverly concocted appeals to class consciousness, racial or religious prejudices, and other un-American emotions. If you can express yourself concisely and with conviction. If you keep your body, mind and soul “‘in training’”’ as the years go by. If you will take any job that comes your way without waiting for “something better to show-up.” : Perhaps by this time you are thinking that we have made a very poor adaptation of Kipling’s famous “‘Jf.”’ Kipling’s poem deals exclusively with character development for which your home, your ancestors, your friends, and you share responsibility with the school. I am chiefly concerned about that part of your personal development for which we are responsible. We have “‘passed”’ only if you are well prepared to assume the responsibilities of citizenship in a democracy. —D.S8. D. Tennis Mr. Davis, our new principal, introduced tennis, which had not been played in Leominster High School for twelve years as an organized sport. Mr. Davis, a star on the court for many years, coached the team and spent half the season drilling and training the players in the fundamentals of the game, because fast high school tennis requires a great deal of skill and fortitude. On May 13 the team opened with a practice game against Brattleboro, Vermont. The following Friday Coach Davis led his team against Orange High, the school from which he came to us as principal and tennis coach. This game proved to be very fast and close— the breaks deciding it. To finish the season, the team, playing out-of-town and at home, completed a strong schedule against high schools from Athol, Brattleboro, Fitchburg, Lexington, Clinton, and Concord. The following enthusiastic players were the members of the team: Appleton, Basque, Beaudoin, Church, Cote, Cunningham, Frickie, Hendricks, Houde, Lyon, Bob and Doug Rehor, D. Remy, and Temple.
