Malden High School - Maldonian Yearbook (Malden, MA)

Text from Pages 1 - 208 of the 1944 volume:

Yv-yuua w Vt3k! JUvjA i cxW MH JCulO SuO Si $J?CLiAJL Jbj$ MQ V N I i foreword We have tried to capture, in the pages of this Maldonian, the spirit of a wartime class. We have tried, like every other senior class, to present a three-year picture of our social and academic life—with our approach to our special problems, our often comic encounters, our memories. Above all we have tried to show our gratitude to the faculty and to the school for giving us these three years of preparation for richer experiences and larger responsi¬ bilities to come.

MS -■ ■ „T • ■ Ra Hffir i We, the Class of 1944, believe that in the three years we have spent at Malden High, we have seen changes, within and without the school, that are unlike any seen before by any high school class. We have seen bewildering changes in the school itself. Our own beloved Mr. Jenkins retired, and Mr. Matthews stepped in, to make himself, in the short space of a year, universally popular with faculty and students alike. Faculty appointments and replacements in the teaching staff have made the faculty sections in the 1942, 1943 and 1944 yearbooks bear only a bowing re¬ semblance to one another. New organizations and events—Student Council, Sophomore Class, Orientation Day, Guidance Day—have come with almost bewildering rapidity. In the outside world, the war has dominated our thoughts, dreams and anxieties. We of this class have seen the shape of the world change, knit, dissolve and change again a score of times in three years. We have seen maps of Europe and the Pacific become obsolete in a month, a week, a day. Pearl Harbor came during our three years, and Guadalcanal. As sophomores, we sat spellbound in our classrooms, one fifth period, and heard Congress declare war on Germany, Italy and Japan. We have seen Russia push the Germans back to where the war began, and we have seen Italy invaded, and the Marshalls taken, and the push from Burma. The end is not yet in sight. Avid even now, while the Allies prepare for the invasion of Europe, while the fight for New Guinea continues and the mud on the Road to Rome dries in the spring sun, our classmates are fighting on a score of f ronts for our dreams, our beliefs—and theirs. And that is the biggest change of all. We are living in the pages of history—and we are grateful. We are grateful that these three years of change in our school life, in our personal lives, in the story of the world, have been spent here in an atmosphere of academic serenity, amid the pleasant turmoil of student activities. We are grateful for any precious days or weeks left to us before we, too, must plunge into the glory and the devastation that is our war. And we are grateful to the members of our class who are now in service—those who have gone before us. Those of us in the class who will take part in the graduation exercises know that a gulf has opened between us and the fighting soldiers and sailors of our class. Yet, humbly, and with familiar affection, we claim a tru e kindred of spirit with our classmates in the armed forces. It is, perhaps, not too much to say that the same high ideal of being rather than seeming sustains all of us; sustains them in their struggle against the enemy, sustains us in our preparation to assume more ac¬ tive duties of war, sustains the tried and the untried alike in the strong determination to forge a just and durable and happy peace. Encouraged by this strong sense of unity with you, classmates in arms, we offer you this unworthy tribute as a tender of all we feel in our hearts. To you we respectfully dedicate this book. To John B . Matthews, who is completing his first year as headmaster of the school since the retirement of Thornton Jenkins in June, 19f3, ice offer the affection and, gratitude of the class. Our H e a Zo the Members of the Class of 1944 : It is always a difficult task for me to say goodbye to a senior class. To say goodbye to this class is no exception. For many reasons this class has a warm spot in my heart. I have watched the members of this class grow and grow. Today invariably the members of this class meet their obligations well. They have matured from young and carefree entering students to older young men and women with a purpose in life. What measure of success we have had in our school , this my first year as Head Master , is due in no small part to the wonderful support and co-operation of the members of this class. The school will miss you and I certainly shall. But that is the way of the world. You are going out into a world most chaotic. If I could give you one thought to take with you it would be this: “There is no short cut to success.” Good luck to you all and may God bless you. JOHN B. MATTHEWS d ni a s t e r 4 The rolling script across these two pages, at once our theme and our class motto, first appeared early in our junior year, carved for all time on our new class s eal. Its translation, which has nothing at all to do with Hamlet, is “To be, rather than to seem to be.” None of us who will be present at graduation exercises has lived up to our motto so truly as the members of our class who are under arms. And yet, during our three years, we have been the better for trying. Being young, we have not kept this motto con¬ stantly before us as a blazing ideal, but we know now that it has meant more to us than we had realized. We believe that it is truly meaningful as a theme for our yearbook. FACULTY One of the nicest things about being a senior is that by the last year in high school one has ceased to regard a teacher as a device set in motion for his especial annoyance. He has come to realize that a faculty member is a human being, with a sense of humor, a family, perhaps a weak¬ ness for detective fiction, and a self-conscious bald spot. Such a transition has been materially aided for us by a faculty who have always been ready to lend, a helping hand to a harassed club member, play producer, magazine seller, or yearbook writer, and who have planned and executed Guidance Day for a grateful student body. With fewer teachers and more subjects, preparation for Col¬ lege Boards and V-12 tests, Civil Service exams, and the frenzied social activities of the class, faculty members have done a memorable job in creating a life-as-usual atmosphere for seniors, and in rigidly maintaining the high scholastic standard for which, we hope, the school will always be known. What in other times would have been a three years ' preparation for college or a job, has become, under wise faculty guidance, a training- ground for our new and not-too-distant goal — WINNING THE WAR AND THE PEACE THAT FOLLOWS. Standing: Mrs. Scannell, Miss Peasley, Mr. Schneider, Miss Gilman, Miss Young, Miss Ammann, Miss Pearl, Miss Wet more Seated: Miss Kirby, Miss Kistler, Mr. Bowman, Miss Heald, Miss Thorpe Not in picture: Miss Heller English Department English students helped with ad¬ ministration this year. Miss Thorpe or¬ ganized the first corps of library assistants, sophomore girls who work in free periods checking slips, filing, and helping with the general work of the library. College English students found in their courses this year a more detailed study of literature They use a sur¬ vey course covering English litera¬ ture from the Anglo-Saxon age to modern times. College, general and commercial students of all three classes found more time given to composition study in class. Some texts studied in class were changed from one year to another, and more super¬ vision was exercised generally over outside reading. I i 12 Other departments have obtained attention and comment by some new change or expansion, but the Latin Department stands alone in its field—it made no inno¬ vation for none was necessary. Latin has remained as it is for centuries and doubtless will go on in the same fashion. It did not need to add a military vocabulary in trend with the times, for Caesar supplied one for every Latin student. Therefore, as genial Mr. Fred Nash, head of the depart¬ ment points out, Latin still is the basis of most modern languages, and still is giving students a stronger foundation for college or whatever they do after gradua¬ tion. However, the class of 1944 is grateful to Latin for our class motto and yearbook theme, “Esse quam videri.” Not every class has had a motto, and few such a classic one as ours, so we cite this as Latin’s best-known contribution this year. Latin Department M iss Cox, Mr. Fred .1. Nash, Miss Whittum Modern Languages Department LTnder its able director, Miss Mc- Kenney the Modern Language Department has undergone many changes, reflecting the great need in wartime and the reconstruc¬ tion period for the ability to speak French and German. French students adopted one of the Army’s best devices for learning to understand and speak French in every¬ day situations by memorizing model con¬ versations and then acting them out. They studied “Aspects de la Guerre Moderne” to improve their military vocabularies. Under Miss McKenney’s supervision, spec¬ ial classes were held in the spring to prepare students for their College Board Examinations. With the diligent and thorough instruction of Miss Bretschneider, German students too have learned a great many military terms, and also have taken Army tests to determine the scope of their vocabularies and comprehension. To one member of this department, Mrs. McCarty, whom we still call Miss Hindenlang, our sincerest appreciation goes for her constant help to us as an adviser. M rs. McCarty, Miss McKenney Miss Bretschneider, M iss Kirkeby Back Row: Mr. Christian, Mr. Blair, Mr. True, M r. Trites Front Row: Miss Smith, Mr. Perry, Mrs. McManus Among the changes wrought by the Mar have been several absences in the fac¬ ulty, resulting in many teachers’ doing double duty. New courses in aeronautics, meteorology and radio increased the duties of Mr. Perry, head of the department, Miss Slattery, history teacher, and Mr, Trites, instructor in radio. Mr. Blair and Mr. True added physics and chemistry respec¬ tively to their schedules. Our weather bureau, under Miss Slattery’s guidance, has been recognized officially as an amateur station this year and from time to time gave the school reports and predictions. W e wish to thank the various mem¬ bers of this department who helped with the scenery and special lighting effects for our Junior Varieties and Senior Play. M iss Smith, science teacher and our ad¬ viser, has been of such help to us in her tireless efforts in the preparation for the play and for the proms. Science Department i 15 Mr. Pasanen, Miss Watkins, Mrs. Carney, Miss Parris, Miss McLaughlin, Mr. Batchelder Mathematics Department Although Mr. Batchelder, head of the Mathematics Department, had long been maintaining that math was one of the most important subjects in the curricu¬ lum and should receive more of our atten¬ tion, it was not until this year, with the boys endeavoring to enter specialized branches of the services through competi¬ tive examinations that many of us realized the true value of mathematics. Mr. Batchelder’s classes for extra practice before and after school and intensive train¬ ing during classes between the regular hours enabled many of the boys to pass their tests with high grades. Sharing with history teachers the joys and sorrows of being senior homeroom teachers are the members of the Mathe¬ matics Department, and so to them also we extend our appreciation for their in¬ dulgence during many trying “S” periods. 16 Pupils studying ancient, modern or American history this year found it treated not merely as a subject in itself, but con¬ nected with the vital moving events of the present day. By introducing new globular maps, the students obtained a clearer pic¬ ture of places in the news and their rela¬ tive distance. The classes of Miss Edna Turkington, the newly-appointed head of the department, and other history classes enjoyed weekly current events sessions and round table discussions. Mr. Wiggin, a member of this de¬ partment, has the lasting gratitude of many college-bound seniors for his sample college board tests to prepare them for the real ones which were less formidable after this valuable practice. Since history teachers were also homeroom teachers for more than half the seniors, we would like to thank them for their patience with our erratic comings and goings during this, the busiest year of our careers. History Department Standing: Mr. Wettergreen, Mr. Brookes, Mr. Wiggin Seated: Miss Davis, Miss Slattery, Miss Turkington, Mrs. (iillis, Mrs. Ramsdell Fine Arts and Domestic Arts Under the guidance of Miss Lyon and Mrs. Montgomery, the Art Depart¬ ment has gained school-wide recognition by aiding several class projects. They made posters for the Varieties, sketched the name plate in the guest book which we gave to the high school, designed the class seal, and further contributed so much throughout this book. An excellent example of inter- department co-operation was the class banner, designed in the art department and made by the sewing classes. W e are deeply grateful to the cook¬ ing classes and our advisers, Miss Richard¬ son and Miss Wyatt, who for the first time provided luncheons for the cast of the senior play during rehearsal weeks, and later they performed the huge task of making all the delicious refreshments for the Senior Prom, a hitherto untried experiment. Hack Row: Miss Wyatt, Miss Richardson, Miss Heller, Miss Lyon Front Roto: Miss Corriveau, Miss Perkins, Mrs. Montgomery 1 18 Back Row: Miss Jeneau, Miss Moore, Miss Gustin, Miss Briggs, Miss O ' Brien, Miss Tucker Front Row: Miss Devine, Miss Lane, Mr. Larsen, Miss Darling, Miss H. Moore, Miss Mooney Students in the Commercial Depart¬ ment this year were given the chance to work in the main office to gain experience, and were given a period in the Office Prac¬ tice Room each week. Civil Service exam¬ inations were given in the school for the convenience of bookkeeping and stenog¬ raphy students. Miss Tucker and the Office Practice girls turned out class ballots, complete sets of guide sheets for Orientation Tour, and any number of extra forms for the class at a moment’s notice. Students of the Stenography Depart¬ ment, under Miss Carrie M. Darling, were given the important reponsibility of recording all the Guidance Institute speeches. Mr. Paul Smith, accounting teacher and class financial adviser, who entered the Navy this year, was succeeded by Miss Dorothy Gustin, who took over his position as financial adviser, and supervised photog¬ raphy for the Maldonian. Commercial Department t 19 } Hack Row: Mr. Pasanen, Mr. Tolinan, Mr. Larson Front Row: Mr. Merry, Mr. Taylor, Mr. Davis Industrial Arts Department i i This department, under the direc¬ tion of Mr. Taylor, has, in addition to its regular work, contributed greatly to the success of many class projects and we wish to take this opportunity to gratefully acknowledge their assistance. With the aid of Mr. Tolman and Mr. Merry, class advisers, the boys of the wood-working classes supplied background properties for the Senior Class Play and a very realistic log ski-lodge, the main deco¬ ration at the Senior Prom. In addition, Mr. Tolman supervised the construction of the candy trays which the class gave for the use of the school, and of the filing box for personal data about seniors. Mr. Larson’s printing classes made posters and programs for the dances, the proms, the play and the Varieties, as well as printing our class stationery, not only for use in official class correspondence, but also for selling to the members of the class. 1 20 } This year, with more and more stress being placed on the need for physical fitness, students in far greater numbers became acquainted with Miss Ryan and Mr. Melanson, our head instructors. In Miss Ryan’s and Mrs. Emerson’s classes the girls were taught, in addition to regular exercises, ballroom dancing, and even military drill as demonstrated by two W acs. To round out their program, the girls were urged to participate in some of the sports open to them, as basketball, tennis and horseback riding. Mr. Melanson’s and Mr. Del Isola’s boys were given rigorous routines, includ¬ ing even commando tactics and obstacle courses in their gym periods, to enable them to take their coming period of military training in their stride. Without doubt the splendid record achieved by our track team and other athletic groups is due to the effects of the intensified gym program. Physical Education Department Mr. Melanson, Miss Ryan, Mrs. Emerson, Mr. Dell Isola I 21 } -n Guidance Department MISS HELEN E. MOORE Head of Department During this past year, with the opening of a Guidance Office in Malden High School, there were many opportuni¬ ties for serving the students who have long felt a need for just such a help. Miss Helene Moore, director of guidance, has filed and indexed, catalogues and detailed information on colleges, business schools, and all types of further training. She al¬ ways has been ready to advise a student in matters of further education or anything else about which he was concerned. A feature of our Guidance Department, as¬ sisted by Mr. Tolman, was the job place¬ ment through which numerous CHAWS obtained positions. Miss Moore deserves our warm thanks for her help in the selec¬ tion of colleges, and for arranging for sample preparatory tests for nursing schools, the armed forces and colleges, which were given by Mr. Wiggin. One highly successful achievement of this department was the Guidance Institute Day program under the direc¬ tion of Miss Moore, Miss Turkington, and Mr. True, member of the Malden Federation for Social Planning. At that time each student had the opportunity to attend three conferences, chosen by him¬ self, and conducted by experts. All phases of the armed forces, higher education, and vocational careers were presented. With the co-operation of Mr. Merry, the pupil war inventory has been taken. 122 } OUR OFFICE STAFF Being, rather than seeming to be, can be accomplished in more than one way. Service to one ' s country is one of the biggest, best, arid most difficult ways. We have set off a special part of the senior section in recognition of our classmen now in arms. There are other ways, however. National Honor members know what they are. Track team members know what they are. Senior Council members know what they are. So does every member of the class. Girls baking cookies, and boys hammering sections of the ski lodge for Prom, second teamers sweating it out in football practice, magazine sellers tramping from door to door, senior play prompters, CHAWS, Blue and Gold writers, football ushers, bond and stamp salesmen, Kleen-Up-Korps girls, Varieties ushers, school radio actors and actresses, volunteer snow shovellers—all know the way. Turn the page, please—to the Senior I Class. Class MISS MARY E. HEALD Chief Mviser Without advisers our class could not have carried on one of its varied activities. To Miss Heald, Miss Gustin, Miss Smith, Mrs. Mc¬ Carty, Mr. Tolman, and Mr. Wettergreen goes all our gratitude for two fun-packed years. To Miss Young, and to Mr. Smith, who left us to become a lieutenant in the Navy, goes our sincere thanks for the time they have given us.

James Duggan Richard Holden Robert Murray Dexter Wheaton Kent Sanford Seymour Stone Herbert van Winkelen ORGANIZATIONS Clubs in Malden High occupy rather a unique position. There are those who demand more attention for them. There are those who claim that they occupy too much time and im¬ portance in a student ' s all-too-limited day. They are, however, established as an integral part of school life, and it would seem that this year they have made a distinct effort to justify their existence. The clubs have turned their thoughts away from the purely social, tuning their activities to the spirit of the school itself and to the changing world out¬ side. This year they have helped tremendously to bolster newly budding school spirit, by sponsoring basketball, hockey and track. They have sent vol¬ unteer workers to Red Cross workrooms, contri¬ buted to war relief funds, collected furniture and spoons for a veterans ' hospital, bought instruments for our new weather bureau, and put on their tradi¬ tional social events. They have given richly of experience to their members, those who wield the gavels and those who sit in the back row. Club debates, speaking contests, plays and football games are all testing grounds for the great test to come—WINNING THE WAR AND THE PEACE.

Students were chosen by a board consisting of Mr. Nash, Mr. Matthews, Mr. Perry, Miss Heald, Miss Moore, Miss Turkington, and Miss Young, at the in¬ credibly early date of January 31, and after a special candlelight induction ceremony, at which Herbert van Winkelen acted as chairman, took up active and responsible duties in the school. Officers were elected to represent Leadership, Scholarship, Serv¬ ice and Character. They are: John Ma¬ honey, president; Ann Boutwell, vice president; Mary Walsh, secretary; and Robert Doucette, treasurer. Election to National Honor is per¬ haps the highest honor a senior can receive. This year’s group of 37 is the largest since the founding of the John W. Hutchins chapter in 1927. Members of National Honor wear the gold pin with the flaming torch, and are distinguished at graduation by the gold tassels on their caps. 198 Scoop! “Thirty-seven Seniors in Honor Society; Earliest Choice in Sixteen Years.” This headline was just one of the many scoops the alert staff of the Blue and Gold plucked from the activities of Malden High School. Under its com¬ petent editor-in-chief, Ann Boutwell, the paper organized with a series of changes in departments and advisers. In the depart¬ ments we find three editors: News, Arthur Smith; Sports, Jerry Winer; Features, Esther Hoffman. Miss Deborah Young became the new literary adviser, replacing Miss Olive Niles. Mr. Arthur Larsen re¬ placed Mr. Paul Smith, the business ad¬ viser, who entered the Navy. Members of the staff meet daily during school hour in order to publish the paper semi-monthly. Pride of the staff was the six-page Christ¬ mas issue, written, edited and circulated by a skeleton crew because of the C.H.A.W. work. In the latter part of May the annual banquet was celebrated with gaiety and gusto. At this event new sophomore mem¬ bers were recruited into the staff.

Each year the society holds its time- honored events. During the 141st ad¬ ministration, Lit boys held the 71st Annual Alumni Banquet, which was attended by many old grads home from their posts in the service. Lit thespians supplied the Inter-Club Play Contest with comedy, and Bob Porteous, Marshall Pratt, Robert Rodenheiser, and second administration president John Mahoney, formed Lit’s 1944 debate team, debating against Cog in the first evening of the Debate League Series. Lit trounced Cog 14-0 in the an¬ nual football tussle, and team members Jack Mahoney, first administration presi¬ dent Dana Bill, Cliff Berry and Dick Holden coached their victorious Usona sisters in their game against Cam. Nate Gallagher and his committee formed a high-school salvage station and collected newspapers for the scrap drive.

Displaying their talents on the gridiron, the girls started this year’s activities by a second football game with Cam, which was won by Usona, with a score of 2-0. Usona successfully tied with Cam for first place in the Inter-Club Play Contest, winning a cup on which “Usona” is engraved. Mary Frances McGrath and Claire Gilman won eight-week scholarships to the Copley School of Expression. After presenting several informal debates in club meetings, Usona felt equal to facing Cam and Cog in the formal debates. Emerging victorious from both encounters, Usona was put into the finals against P.S.C. The debaters were Irma Gass, Clare Glennon, Grace Anthony, Ann Boutwell and Marilyn Bruce, alternate. As volunteer waitresses, the girls served at the Rotary and Kiwanis luncheons. The annual Alumnae Banquet was held April 13 in the smaller gymnasium. Vice President Ann Boutwell was Usona’s delegate to the Cam Quiz. All the girls took turns in wearing the distinctive uniform and doing the tedious work of the newly organized and already well-known Kleen-up Korps. Usona Founded in 1899 {101 Back Row: Stanley Gordon, Arthur Smith, David Greene, Secretary; Morris SacK Front Row: Arthur Sandler, Treasurer; Irving Brudnick, President; Mr. Schneider, Joel Gordon, Jerrold Winer Cognoscendi Causa Founded in 1922 Founded on the principle that it should endeavor to keep public speaking in Malden High School on a high level, the society, under its president, Irving Brud¬ nick, has resolved to carry this idea through. The 20th annual Cog Prize Speaking Contest was held in the form of an assembly, with Coleman Yaffee winning first prize. Also a regular activity of Cog is its club debates in which members debate on questions of the day. Trium¬ phant over Lit in the 1944 Debate League series, Cog participated in the semi-finals with Usona. The debaters were Coleman Yaffee, Martin Alpert, Arthur Smith, Charles Shaker, Irving Brudnick and Mel¬ vin Burstein. Another contribution to M.H.S. was a hygrometer for its weather bureau station. This year Cog sponsored the hockey team, stimulating interest in school athletics. { 102 } Under the leadership of Esther Hoff¬ man, president, Cam started the year’s activities with its second annual football game versus Usona. A Victory dance, attended by members of Cog, Lit, Usona and Cam, was held after the game in the girls’ gym. Under Miss Aldine Gilman, its new and most helpful adviser, the club successfully presented on December 1st, an enjoyable evening for Mothers and Daughters of Cam. The Inter-Club Play Contest in March resnlted in a tie for first place between Cam and LTsona. Carrying through their motto “To perfect ourselves in general literature and debating,’’— Cam’s debating team (Patricia Wilson, Bernice Freedman, Lillian Rossyn, Esther Hoffman and Marilyn Goldstein, alter¬ nate), entered the 1944 Debate League series against Usona. They sponsored a Professor Quiz Contest in which students and faculty participated. Cam also spon¬ sored a joint Cam-Isona meeting at which Mr. Wiggin was the speaker; and in the spring they enjoyed a joint bowling party with Cog. Covenimus Ad Meditandum Founded in 1931 Back Row: Lillian Rossyn, Treasurer; Eunice Levenson Front Row: Shirley Wolpert, Secretary; Esther Hoffman, President; Bernice Freedman, Vice President; Phyllis Rosenthal, Corresponding Secretary Political Science Club Founded in 1932 The Political Science Club of Mal¬ den High School, under Kent Sanford, president, has shown its patriotism in its willingness to aid the United Service Organizations. To this worthy cause the club contributed a substantial sum of money. P.S.C. participated in the Inter- Club Play Contest and delighted the audience with its ingenious rendition of “A Quiet Evening at Home” which won a scholarship at the Copley School of Ex¬ pression. With Kent Sanford, Phyllis Rosenthal, Otis Maxfield and Alan Wolo- zin as debaters, P.S.C. emerged victorious from its debate with English Club. For the second year the club presented a South American assembly, “Brazil,” a sound film, featuring the land below the border. The annual outing topped the season’s activities.

Under its presi¬ dent, Joel Gordon, and its adviser, Mrs. Marion Gillis, the club dedicated this year to school service. The Inter-Club Play Contest, the club’s annual big event, was only one of its activities. For the first time, a debate team composed of Joel Gordon, Arthur Sandler, Shirley Wolpert and John Boggia, competed against P.S.C. in the Debate League series. A team of bond sellers under treasurer, Esther Hoff¬ man, sponsored the Fourth War Loan with the first bond rally ever held in the school, at which $13,000 worth of bonds were sold. Claire Gilman and David Greene collaborated to sponsor our vic¬ torious track team, with David supplying ticket-takers and door-guards, and Claire doubling attendance at meets with a series of almost daily radio skits and homeroom attendance prizes.

McKen- ney and president Claire Gilman. All meetings were conducted in French and the members’ interest in French literature, art and culture w r as encouraged. For the first time, the club voted to invite students to become members who did not have the required B average, provided that they had a recommendation from their French teacher. Under the new plan, a large group of members was admitted. At the Christ¬ mas meeting, Betty Clark, Janice Gallinger and Claire Gilman sang a group of French carols, accompanied by Mary Frances Mc¬ Grath. In March, Mrs. Nevarte Adrian gave an interesting talk on her life in Paris, and at another meeting Miss Kirkeby showed color movies of her European travels. 1 I { 106 German Honor, which was founded for the purpose of acquainting its members more thoroughly with German culture, this year stressed the importance of plays and operettas in its club work. Members at¬ tended performances of “Blossomtime” and “Roslinda” in Boston theatres, and gave a play of their own for German students at Christmas. Faculty members were guests at this performance, and the audience sang German carols. Members and their guests attended folk dancing in¬ struction at the International Institute in Boston. During the first administration, under the supervision of president Herbert van Winkelen and adviser Miss Minna Butschneider, 16 new members were ad¬ mitted and a meeting was held at Barbara Crowell’s home. Under second administra¬ tion president Phyllis Dow, the club held a Guest Night on April 27, and contributed to British Relief, Community War Fund, the Infantile Paralysis Drive and the Red Cross.

In Decem¬ ber Latin Honor sponsored a joint Christ¬ mas dance with the German and French clubs. An educational talk by Mr. Nash was enjoyed by all in January. At the mid-year initiation, initiates were required to write Latin lyrics for popular songs. Those unrecognizable words set to a popular song may have been Evelyn Smith’s rendition of “When the Lights Go On Again.’’ Following this, a very successful “White Elephant” sale contributed to the events of the year. The “pueri” and “puel- lae” will always remember the meetings that took place on every third Thursday of the month.

Under the direction of new adviser Mrs. Madge Scannell, they entered Clifford Odets’ “When the Sun Rises” in the Eng¬ lish Club Inter-Club Play Contest. This one-act featured Phyllis Rosenthal, Fran¬ cis Surette, and president Marilyn English, and earned for Phyllis and Francis scholar¬ ships at the Copley School of Expression, and acting awards for the evening’s work. Phyllis Rosenthal and Murray Schwartz teamed to star in Greenroom’s three-act thriller, “The Ghost Train,” which had an M.H.S. audience sitting on the edge of the seat when it steamed into the Jenkins Auditorium on March 31. { 109 Edward Rawlston, Frank Briggs, Secretary; Richard Holden, President; Robert MacGregor, Whitman Browne Hi-Y Founded in 1920 “To create, maintain, and extend high ideals of Christian character through¬ out the school and community’’ is the motto of Hi-Y. By its activities this year, under the direction of its new adviser, Mr. Latimer Hannum, boys’ secretary of Y.M. C.A., and Mr. Everett Schneider of the Malden High School faculty, Hi-Y has assured the public that the youth of today will make the outstanding men of the future. Hi-Y sponsored the inspiring Sunrise Service held in the Methodist Church in Malden on Easter Sunday, the M.H.S. basketball games and the new Stardust Room. The latter is a Youth Recreation Center at the Y.M.C.A. every Saturday evening. There, high schoolers enjoy dancing, ping-pong, pool, and a talent program with Kenny Sagrans as M.C. A host of members attended the 54th annual Older Boys’ Conferences at Lynn, Mass. Dr. Frank D. Slutz, educa¬ tor and lecturer, spoke to boys from all parts of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. I no } To carry through its motto “To create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high ideals of Christian character” has been the purpose of Tri-Hi this year. In keeping with the trend of being of service to the school, the Tri-Hi girls have started to assist Miss Moore in the Guidance office. The work consisted of filing different kinds of college and business school catalogues to be used for reference. For the first time Tri-Hi has been divided into groups: music, danc¬ ing, knitting and dramatics. These groups entertained the members at club meetings. Among the social activities of the club were roller-skating parties and hayrides. The club held dances with the clubs of other cities. Tri-Hi Founded in 1936 Back Row: Helen King.

The purpose of the club this year was to show its members the interesting sides of Biology that could never be taken up in the classroom. A special meeting was held at which Miss Mary Icelander spoke on the study and usefulness of psychology. The club sponsored a special film entitled “The Winged Scourge” which explained the origins of the disease malaria. Under the leadership of president Elaine Robinson, the Biology Club sponsored a fat drive to aid the war effort. With the co-operation of the school, it reached its quota. In April the club sponsored its first dance and enjoyed a bowling party. It drew up a new constitution, and with the aid of the Art Department made a club banner.

Other candidates who successfully pass the voice tests are accepted. Only juniors and sen¬ iors may enter the choir, which has a long waiting list. Under the capable supervision of Miss Harriette M. Perkins, the club has perfected many difficult musical selections this year. During the Christmas season, the choir, clad in its special maroon robes, continued its custom of serenading the school with carols as it passed through the corridors. Every Thursday and Friday in the “S” period the members will be found going through their paces in the Music Room.

The popular Malden High School Orchestra, under the direction of Miss Florence Heller, has embarked up¬ on the daily rehearsal, enabling it to meet the demands of another extremely busy year. Upholding morale on the home front with performances of beauty, clarity, and precision, and meeting with the great ad- claim of audiences everywhere, the orches¬ tra filled a highly varied schedule. This included three Swing-to Symphony As¬ semblies with presentation of letters at the second; other regular school assemblies; the Lawson Tool Company Bond Rally, which featured Lieutenant-Commander Jack Dempsey, Lieutenant Eddie Albert, former screen star, and film star Alan Marshall; the Greenroom play; the Senior play and Junior Varieties; performances at the Malden Teachers Association, the Rotary Club and the Federation of Social Planning. mi •{ 114 Malden High School saw a rejuvena¬ tion in band music this year, due to Miss Florence Heller’s accepting the responsi¬ bility of its leadership. Although some¬ what late in appearing on the football field in the fall, and despite its drop in member¬ ship, the Band exceeded all expectations in both marching and playing. It was a great factor in bolstering up that all im¬ portant school spirit. The Band marched on Armistice Day and Memorial Day, after which they enjoyed their annual banquet. It presented a Spring concert featuring “sweet, solid and swing’’ music, demonstrating the musical prowess of its swingsters. Members of the Band pre¬ sented a variety of selections at Western Division Station for each group of selectees leaving for the service.

Reaching into the past, we find the theme of the club is Edward Mac- Dowell’s “To a Wild Rose.” With a mem¬ bership of 47, it has been able to practice and perfect a variety of well known selec¬ tions, ranging from the patriotic, to the light and the classical. In addition to its weekly meetings, it has had the oppor¬ tunity of singing with the Junior Schubert Club and the Malden High School Choir as a combined group, directed by Miss Perkins. This large chorus serenaded Mr. Marshall, Mr. Matthews, and the school as a whole, with delightful Christmas carols. The entire student body enjoyed a concert by the combined group.

Under the direction of Miss Harriette M. Perkins, the club meets once a week in order to re¬ hearse four-part music. This year the reading of music was emphasized and many songs were sung primarily for the purpose of giving additional reading practice to the boys. Miss Perkins also directed many helpful vocal exercises to improve the quality and tone of the boys’ voices. Short¬ ly before Christmas the Junior Schubert Club combined with the MacDowell Club and the Malden High School Choir to present Christmas Carols to the principal, superintendent, teachers and members of the school.

Under the supervision of Miss Adeline Wetmore, chief adviser, the class planned the election of class officers and council and at the first class meeting, the advisers, council and officers were introduced and inducted, and entertain¬ ment was furnished by talented members of the class. The first major production, the Varieties, under chairman Helen Draco- polous was one of the most popular activi¬ ties of the school year. Earl Weidner, Frank Morelli and Shirley Quimby won first, second and third prizes, respectively. As the first class project, the class of “45” sold book rests to the students, parents and faculty. The Junior Prom, sparkling and festive, climaxed a busy year for the Junior Class. •U18 The class of 1046, spiced with in¬ genuity and vitality, commenced its activi¬ ties with the forming of a permanent council and secretary pro-tem, Mary O’Brien. Under the leadership of its adviser, Mr. Clarke R. Brookes, it selected a committee, headed by Johnny Carroll, to formulate plans for the method of pre¬ paring the major elections which were carried out with the nominees preparing speeches to be given before the class. In true election style they sponsored rallies, constructed posters and made use of campaign managers to further their cam¬ paigns. The class is preparing biographies and collecting candid snaps for its future Maldonian. A committee under Whitman Browne was authorized to investigate the forming of a sophomore orchestra. The Sophomore Kick-off was held on April 14 with various talented members of the class taking part. The Sophomore Council elected three representatives to the newly- formed Student Council. Needless to say, the future holds many possibilities for this promising class.

Since a meeting of the combined councils would prove cum¬ bersome, this separate organization was created. The body will deal not only with problems of disciplinary nature, but will concern itself with student affairs in gen¬ eral. The chosen representatives will receive the opinions of their classmates and will base their decisions on the wishes of the entire student body. The repre¬ sentatives from the senior, junior and sophomore classes, respectively, are G.

Each year dances and a banquet have been the outstanding events, but this sorority has foregone all for the duration. At Thanksgiving the annual basket was donated to a needy family. War bonds are continuously being purchased from club funds. Ecce Signum proudly points to the fact that it has mem¬ bers in the WAC, WAVE, Army Nurse Corps and Volunteer Nurses’ Aid; and that many other members are helping at the local Red Cross agency. This society is looking forward to resuming all its social activities after the war, but at present, as an organization and as individuals, it is doing all in its power to promote the peace toward which we are all looking forward.

It was organized “to promote fraternal and social relations and for the individual advancement and culture of its members.” In spite of the fact that a great many members had left for the armed services, the Kappa Chapter in Malden High School enjoyed a very successful year. In the fall, Gamma Sigma was again victorious over its traditional rival, Alpha Delta Sigma, on the gridiron. After the game a joint bowling party w r as held at the Kernwood Club. In the spring, a successful dance was held in conjunction with the sister sorority, En Ka. The annual banquet was held early in order to make it possible for members leaving for the armed forces to attend. •{ 122 } En Ka in this year of war, has di¬ vided its interests between pleasure and patriotism. It has held meetings every third Wednesday; and during November and February admitted 14 new members. The sorority totals a membership of over 200 girls. The customary Christmas dance at the Hotel Sheraton was omitted this year because of wartime conditions. In¬ stead a $100 War Bond was purchased. Christmas gift boxes were sent to En Ka girls in the service of their country. The joint meeting with Gamma Sigma fratern¬ ity was held as a dance at the Mt. Hood Country Club in Melrose. Marie Mulcahy was chairman of the affair. Amid a gala atmosphere of festivity, the annual ban¬ quet was enjoyed at the Kernwood Cafe.

Upon entering high school this group of young fellows formed a fraternity and were accepted into the bonds of Alpha Delta Sigma as the Tau Chapter in January, 1910. Since this time A.D.S. has formed one of the most successful fraternities in the school. To start the holiday’s activities off on the right foot, A.D.S. presented its annual Thanksgiving Eve dance. The all import¬ ant feature of the spring season was the lively annual May banquet. At the present time, A.D.S. has 96 men in the armed services. In this war year of 1944, the activi¬ ties of the Alpha Chapter of Kappa Phi have varied considerably from those of former years. The traditional formal dance during the Christmas holidays was fore¬ gone, but the Grand Chapter of Kappa Phi held an Officers’ Dance in the Hawthorne Room of the Parker House. This dance was so successful that it was followed by a second one. The Grand Chapter Tea was well attended by the Malden members. Members of the Alpha Chapter are par¬ ticipating in various war activities and several are serving in the armed forces. The sorority has purchased a $100 War Bond in addition to contributing to other civic organizations through the year. An Opportunity Sale sponsored by the local chapter was highly successful. Kappa Phi Back Row: Mary Frances McGrath, Gloria Neidner Front Row: Doris Downing, Janice Gallinger, Marilyn Sullivan, JoAnn Fiske Alpha Mu Founded in 1920 Despite the loss of almost all its alumni to the armed forces. Alpha Mu kept up its traditionally high social and fra¬ ternal standards. Through the fine co¬ operation of members and officers, Alpha Mu held several sport dances, open forums, and a dinner dance at the Myles Standish Hotel. One of the highlights of the season was the presentation by ( randmaster Allen Wolozin, at the annual membership dance of a silver loving cup to past Grand¬ master Vernon Stohn. This was the 23d annual cup presented by Alpha Mu. A new fraternity innovation was the publish¬ ing of a small newspaper for members and alumni in the armed service. In this way the fellows are kept informed of all fratern¬ ity business. The June outing marked the close of the year’s activities.

After the regular scutting period, 17 girls were initiated during the Christ¬ mas vacation. Instead of the regular Dutch Supper for the occasion, a victory tea was held. On December 25th a dance was held at the Hotel Sheraton. It was both enjoyable and profitable. A group of Phi Delta Phi girls attended an inter-city dance of faternities and sororities on March 11th. Plans for closer friendship between city sororities and fraternities were dis¬ cussed. A formal dinner dance and the annual Mother and Daughter Luncheon held in May, climaxed a highly successful year. 1127 Alpha Zeta Pi Founded in 1821 The Alpha Zeta Pi Fraternity opened another successful season with the admittance of 14 new members to the order. The members climaxed their pledgeship with the annual “scut” dance which was held during the Thanksgiving vacation at Oak Manor, Melrose. During the Febru¬ ary vacation the fraternity attended a theatre party at the Plymouth Theatre and afterwards enjoyed a party at a Boston hotel. The members kept fit by playing basketball every Tuesday at the Lincoln Junior F igh School gym and also by bowl¬ ing every Friday evening. In the spring sport dances were held and the season ended with a dine-and-dance celebrating the installation of officers. Many of Alpha Zeta Pi’s members are already in the armed services, and more expect to go immediately after the close of school.

Since then it has been one of the most popular “sister” organizations in the school. The season commenced with a traditional sport dance held at Oak Manor, Melrose. It was a festive affair with many couples attending. October’s initiation resulted in the addition of many new mem¬ bers into Kai Lun. In honor of the event a supper was held and enjoyed by all present. The year’s activities consisted of a gay roller-skating party and also a theatre party. Kai Lun displayed its patriotism by volunteering its services to the Red Cross. The annual Mother and Daughter night put a “finis” to the season’s activities. •{129 Sigma Phi completed an outstanding season under the leadership of its competent officers. Its chief aim in its 23d year as a successful sorority, was to contribute to the war effort. Showing their patriotic spirit, the girls devoted many hours to rolling bandages and knitting for the Red Cross. The chief events of the year were a theatre party, a roller skating party, and a very successful spring dance at a Boston Hotel. The last, but by no means least activity of the season, was the annual Mother and Daughter Luncheon. The girls and their guests enjoyed this gala social event which climaxed a busy year.

Win or lose, athletic activities give to Malden High boys and girls a sense of co-operation and teamwork, a sense of fair play, a foundation in living,—a sense of physical fitness, and good preparation toward winning the war and the peace.

The girls, attired in colorful skirts and sweaters, really got the fans into Ihe spirit of the game with some rousing and invigorating cheers. “Lettie” Chap¬ man, Elaine Whitelaw, Alma Connors, “Bubba” MacGaffigan, Marietta Harney, and Harriet Lowery were the new feminine cheerleaders. Too much credit cannot be extended to the supporting boy cheerleaders. Frank Wall, with his talent for comedy, saw to it that the spirits of the crowd were kept at a high pitch throughout the season. Don Madden did a great piece of work on the more serious side and was a real loss when he left for the service. Kenny Sagrans added a lot of color to the games by his acrobatic antics during the halves. Last of all, the person to whom the credit for almost the entire display belongs—a little man who had a great deal of responsibility —Captain Johnnie Galardi. Cheerleaders Second Row: Elaine Whitelaw, Kenny Sagrans, “Lettie” Chapman Front Row: Marita Harney, Arlene MacGaffigan, John Galardi, Alma Connors, Harriette Lowery Football The 1943 Malden High “Golden Tornadoes’’ began the football season with a 6 to 0 win over Wakefield High. In the following games, Malden upheld the old adage, “play the game fair.” Led by Captain “Cliff” Hatch, who gained popu¬ larity by his bone-breaking blocks and tackles, the team played hard and clean in all their games. By far the most outstanding game of the year was the Arlington game when a sensational screen pass from Johnnie Carroll to “Cliff” Hatch produced the winning touchdown. “Malden is the hard¬ est team we have played all year,” was the comment of the Arlington coach. Uphold¬ ing the same traditional spirit in the an¬ nual “turkey-day tussel” against Medford were such notables as Steve Gilman, Bill Connors, and “Lennie” Bergin, in addition to Ralph Richardson, “Whitey” Boyd, and Joe Perrotti, who are now serving under a new coach—LTncle Sam.

This is the exceptional record of Coach Henry Batchelder’s 1943-1944 track team. Two hundred fans were brought to their feet during the thrill-packed Newton meet when Malden defeated the State Champions 39 to 38 in the last exciting moments of the relay. The “mercurymen” outscored their opponents 352 to 91 by decisively beating such teams as Hunting- ton (51 to 12), Lynn English (65 to 7), and Somerville (71 to 5y 2 ). To climax the season was Malden’s well earned 56 to 21 victory over her traditional rival, Medford. All Malden High remembers the sparkling performances of Co-captains Allan Wolozin (Senior Low Hurdle Cham¬ pion of New England) and “Art” March- inko (Northeastern Shot-put Champion), the victories of “Bud” Taylor (State 1000- yd. Champion), and the fine work of Steve Gilman (300-yd. man), Frank Fitzgerald (dash favorite), A1 White (300-yd. man), and Dick Holden (600-yd. man).

Basketball has come a long way since last year, and is considered one of the best sports in Malden High School. Under Coach Wettergreen, the Malden players have established the repu¬ tation of a good, fast team. Through the superb playing of Co¬ captains “Lefty” George and Bill Connors, supported by John Treacy and Herb Siegel, the quintet left a deep impression on Malden High’s basketball fans. The boys turned in some fine performances by beat¬ ing such teams as Lowell, Woburn, Wake¬ field, and Melrose. The season’s climax came when the boys defeated Chelsea, “The Basketball Capitol of Massachu¬ setts,” 31 to 25. Coach Wettergreen is looking forward to an even better season next year with such hopefuls as Gene Wiseburg, Steve DeDominicis, and Johnnie Maestrangelo. •{138 A fitting climax to a successful sea¬ son was the stirring victory of the girls’ basketball team over an amazed alumnae. Although the organization of the team was slow, because of a change in the physical education department, the girls displayed their aggressiveness in victories over Read¬ ing and Melrose. Outstanding, however, was the girls’ surprising triumph over their traditional rival, Medford, by a decisive 36 to 28 score. This triumph over Med¬ ford was the first within almost five years. But “Victory” was not the only password of the team, for they did lose to Arlington, Somerville, and Belmont. Throughout the season the leadership of the team was undertaken by Captain “Frannie” Turpin, who with “Kitty” Larkin and Barbara Ellenwood, provided the team with a strong “6” offense, while veterans Ann Boutwell, June Ayer, and “Pat” Sullivan were the mainstays of the team’s new “zone defense.” Girls’ Basketball Team Third Row: Betty MeWade, Patricia Gibbs, Barbara Ellenwood, Marilyn Langell, Gertrude Blake, Doris Carev second Row: era Bowser, Marguerite Collins, Faith Avery, Miss Ryan, Barbara Blake, Jean Belleveau, Jean Bowser front How: Janet Stockard, Kitty Larkin, Virginia Dyson, Frances Turpin, Partieia Sullivan, June Ayer, Ann Boutwell Hockey Because of the early loss of Captain Nick Zantos and Ralph Richardson, com¬ bined with the loss of Joe Perrotti to the armed forces, the “Goldenrods” had a none too successful season. However, more than once were the fans brought to their feet by the aggressive, defense playing of “Cliff” Hatch, by A1 Ruelle’s fast break¬ aways, goalie Roger Melanson’s spectacular saves, and the never to be forgotten skill¬ ful puck handling of Bob Donovan, “Ditto” MacIntyre, Jack Mahoney, and Ralph Macgaffigan. The “Goldenrods” did experience some success by tying Lexington and Wake¬ field 1 to 1; and then going on to give the league-leading Hudson team a real battle, only to lose by a small margin. Expert net work by goalie Roger Melanson won him a place on the Eastern Massachusetts All Star Team.

Practicing twice a week at Pine Banks Park, the gir ls, under the direction of Mrs. Emerson, really worked hard for their one game with Melrose on October 20th. Con¬ sequently, with determination, teamwork, and an overwhelming school spirit, the female hockeyists, captained by “Ginnie” Dyson, defeated a strong Melrose team 1 to 0. The winning point was made by center-forward “Frannie” Turpin, sup¬ ported by June Ayer and “Pat” Sullivan. This was the first year that the girls were coached by Mrs. Emerson, who is expect¬ ing a large turnout of enthusiasts and is, therefore, planning a fuller schedule for next year.

With fielding as its strong point, the M.H.S. nine completed an exciting and difficult season against Medford, Everett, Melrose, Somerville, and Chelsea. Although the armed forces took its toll by calling such valuables as Joe Per- rotti and “Eldy” Fleischer, the boys did not lose heart, and under the expert handl¬ ing of Mr. Melanson, they won their usual share of games. Great interest in this popular sport has been created by the war, because the boys have come to realize how important physical training will be when they enter the armed services. {142 On Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons you will find the Malden High equestrians cantering along the bridle path. The club has 30 active members. Virginia Dailey, as president, has been a very enthusiastic leader and has had charge of the Friday group. Jane E. Duff, vice president, has managed the Thursday group, while Jo Ann Fiske, secretary and treasurer, has been in charge of the Tues¬ day group. Rain or shine, one always can find the girls at the Town Line Riding Academy in Medford where they receive excellent instructions in all phases of riding. With a large indoor ring to ride in, the girls have no worry about the weather. Miss “Dot” Ryan, leader and ardent supporter of the club, plans to donate a silver cup in June to the member who has shown the greatest advancement in riding during the 1943- 1944 season.

With a third place in last year’s National Hearst matches under its belt, the boy sharpshooters, having al¬ ready attained a score vastly superior to that of last year, anticipate an even higher rating this year. Captained by expert marksman Bud Taylor, the varsity team, including Earl Weidner, James Fitzgerald, and “Willie” Harrington, competed in shoulder-to- shoulder matches with Andover Academy, Melrose, Haverhill, Braintree, and Quincy. In past years, the club’s main pur¬ pose was to provide the boys with an inter¬ esting pastime. However, this year the club has an added meaning, for the war has proven the necessity of a good marks¬ man. Another prominent member of this year’s club is “Dom” Torraco, who is now in the United States Navy.

Occupying three of the five places on the team repre¬ senting Malden in the National Hearst matches were Captain “Kitty” Burke, expert marksman “Lettie” Chapman, and Evelyn Pratt. Because of gasoline rationing and the lack of ammunition, the girls’ schedule has been somewhat limited. Neverthe¬ less, jovial “Pop” Taylor, the team’s coach, remarked that the girls had really displayed some excellent marksmanship during the year, and that the boys would be up against some stiff competition in their annual inter-club match. Other senior members of the club are Claire Gil¬ man and Betty MacCauley, who with the rest of the club which numbers in the fifties, are looking forward to their annual joint party with the boys’ rifle club.

Early in the season the girls boasted of a rigorous schedule consisting of such worthy opponents as Winchester, Belmont, Melrose, Somerville, and their traditional rival, Medford. The team consists of such favorites as “Chris” Ferris, Jo Ann Fiske, “Ginnie” Dyson, and “Frannie” Turpin. These girls were the selects of an inter-class tournament. Great interest was aroused among the feminine enthusiasts by the creation of a class coaching period during which the girls could learn the funda¬ mentals of tennis under the skilled leader¬ ship of both Miss Ryan and Mrs. Emerson. During the winter months the girls kept in shape by practicing in the Marshall Gym, but later they moved out into the open for spring practice at Ameridge. { 146 Here’s one sport which appeals to all the outdoor girls of Malden High—the bicycle club. In this organization, led by Miss Ryan and Mrs. Emerson, the girls have found a way of enjoying themselves in the country in spite of the gasoline rationing. At first the feminine cyclists, who number over 40, took but short trips which soon developed into more extensive and gruelling jaunts to historical Lexington and Concord and many other distant points of interest. Always out in front during these trips were Berth Dyer, Claire Gil¬ man, Faith Avery, Nancy Carleton, and Eleanor Babcock. The climax of the sea¬ son came when a delicious “weenie” roast was held at nearby Pine Banks Park, where among the green pines the girls reminisced and made extensive and colorful plans for next year’s activities.

However, transportation difficulties confined the club to a few home games at Bellevue and Mount Hood courses. Led by Captain Joe Gordon, the team had loads of fun practicing for their anticipated matches. Mr. Guy Christian, the team’s most capable coach, commented that it was no uncommon sight to see some of the more capable members of the club do 18 holes well under 80. Also attesting to their prowess were two invitations from well known Exeter and Andover Academies. Other of the senior members were James Fitzgerald and Jack Ma¬ honey. James Fitzgerald, David Green, Joel Gordon, Harry Nathan Marilyn Sullivan, Cecile Hammer, Janice Callinger, Claire Gilman, Jo Ann Fiske Again this year the girls of M.H.S. have turned to Mr. Guy Christian for instruction in golf. Having been organized only last year, this club is comparatively new and promises much. While Old Man Winter reigned su¬ preme, the girls practiced on the driving range. Later, when spring came, the fe¬ male golfers moved out to the Mount Hood course. The highlight of their sea¬ son came when the girls played their annual match against the faculty. This was not their only match, for they were invited to play Melrose, Newton, Win¬ chester, and Medford. The girls that participated in these matches were Captain Elaine Whitelaw, Jo Ann Fiske, Claire Gilman, Janice Gallinger, Cecile Hammer, and Marilyn Sullivan.

Once again the girls have turned to obliging “Dot” Ryan for capable leadership and in¬ struction. Augmented by a supply of bows and arrows donated by the school, the feminine “William Tells” began practice on the school range. However, with the advent of spring and the enlarged enrollment be¬ cause of the increased popularity of the sport, the girls moved out onto the school lawn where they began more rigid practice for their anticipated meets. One of the important reasons for the organization of this club was to enable more girls to par¬ ticipate in athletics. The girls that turned out included President Ann Boutwell, Elizabeth McCauley, Frances DiNatalie, Berth Dyer, Enid Cohen, Rita Conforti, and Edith Merrill. { 150 Sports Personalities 1.

The feature section of a yearbook tries to do more than give the book a lift, two-thirds of the way through. It tries to present an accurate record of the exciting moments of three years at school. It tries to re¬ capture for your future enjoyment the nostalgic moments of three pretty wonderful years — mo¬ ments when you p robably said—“The heck with winning the war and the peace 1 ’— but when you were helping to do it just the same. Ave Atque Vale For a long time you were merely aware that he existed. You went past the office once in a while, and saw him inside, and that was all. At recess, you heard his positive, clipped voice insert itself into your wandering consciousness, and you had a feeling that the universe was functioning correctly, but that was all. And once in a long, long while the door of one of your classrooms opened, and he walked in, quiet and unobtrusive, but there was something in the way he walked that made you search your soul for the reason you had left undone the last sentence of your homework exercise. And then one day you came into school, and something seemed different. People stood in little knots and talked, and you heard the deep basses of the boys and the shrill notes the girls made when they were surprised. A thread of tension hung over the classrooms, and recita¬ tions were restless. It was a very little like the early days of the war. You wondered what the matter was, till the news, traveling on the wings of incredulity, reached you, a tiny part of Malden High, an ordinary student, with ordinary intelligence, ordinarily deaf and blind to the events going on about you. Suddenly, you see clearly what you have only dimly felt. You see what he has meant to the school through all the years, and perhaps you see a little what the school has meant to him. ou see his quiet hand at the helm, deft and sure through all the heavy seas of inter¬ national and world changes, and through the light, tricky winds of public opinion. You see the way he has made the name of the school a name associated with high scholar¬ ship, with honor and integrity. ou see why the tone of the school is something a little special. You go into English class. Your lessons isn t very well prepared. Your teacher draws a long breath, looks at your class, and shakes her head. Aou think, Oh ; Good Lord, she’s going to lecture again. But she only stands silent a moment and then says, “Last night I went to a banquet for Mr. Jenkins. When he stood up to make his speech, I saw something in him that young people today just don’t have. It’s hard to describe. It s a sense of values. It’s the word ‘honor,’ and everything that goes with it. It’s—it’s an old-school fineness drawn through a man like a core of steel.’’ She shakes her head, and her eyes look a little lost. “You-you just don’t have it anymore,” she says. And suddenly you don’t feel like smiling. You feel quiet. You feel a little cheap. You didn’t know till now what it has meant to you to be there while he was there. But now, as you think of it, a jostling crowd of pictures comes pushing into your mind, to be shuffled like a pack of cards, to be handled with care, to be cherished, to be shown to others. You see yourself going softly into the office, with a boon to beg. It’s hard to ask favors, and you’re clumsy and slightly apologetic; you stammer a little, getting it out. And he sits looking at you like an archangel from the throne of God, and you tremble. And then a smile sort of creeps out from behind his ears and sits comfort¬ ably on his face, and you know it’s all right. ou catch a hard breath. “Thank you, sir, ’ you say. ou tiptoe out—and stumble over the chair. It’s Mr. Jenkins standing tall and straight and saying, “It’s not so much that I mind retiring. It s that I shall miss having all the boys and girls around me. I don’t know half of them, but I like to hear and see them. I like to know that they’re there.” And just for a second, you feel what he feels; you see the thousands in their ebb and flow, coming and going, year after year, class after class, humming ragtime, then jazz, then swing, then boogie-woogie. You see the boys trying out long pants and new bass voices, and the girls feverishly planning what to wear Friday night. They’re all there: the plodders, the bookworms, the dreamers, the scientists, the class politicians, the future Phi Betas, ou see them all, you are all of them, and so is he, erect and changeless through the years. Fragmentary lines and snatches of poetry run through your head. “Oh, masters, lords and rulers in all lands,” “Give me my scallop-shell of quiet, my staff of faith to walk upon,” “The year’s at the spring,” “Lars Porsena of Clusium, By the Nine Gods he swore, “It was the House of Quietness To which I came at dusk, “This is the shape of the leaf, and this is the flower, . . . You know that if ever in your life you do anything praiseworthy you will think of him and wonder whether he would be proud. You close the book. i 155 1944 In Review . . . Nineteen forty-four and the Allies were tramping up the muddy Road to Rome; 1944, and Roosevelt might and might not run for a fourth term; 1944, and Truk was just another island on the march to Tokio; 1944, and thinking men were saying, as they bent perspiringly over their manuscripts, “What did we do in our sophomore year, anyway?’’ Well, here it is— our effort to review a hectic three years for the benefit of your grandchildren. Let’s dive into the next paragraph. Remember those air raid drills— chilly wasn’t it? And we don’t mean that the heating system was on the blink. Of course no one could possibly forget sitting on his books through a mere period and a half while his back began to break and legs began to ache. Those teachers who worked us so hard got a little of their own medicine too that year. Theirs was the job of toiling with oil—determining whether you would freeze with three hundred coupons or two hun¬ dred and ninety-nine during the ensuing winter. Students too, of the class of ’44, began to make a place for themselves, and though yet unorganized our class began to give with some solid celebrities. John Galardi, a sharp little sophomore, made his impression soon enough with his par¬ ticipation in the football boys’ “M” night quiz. Another newcomer, one Clifton Hatch by name, copped the honor of run¬ ner-up in a hair raising 1000-yard run. John Provost and A1 Trulli began their athletic careers this sophomore year, with their appearance on the track team, and Junior P. followed up a wonderful start when he joined the basket ball team. More surprises were in store for the school when two more sophs proved to be “good sports.” These were Claire and Doris Stevens, members of the fern basket sinkers, who played their biggest roles in history making in the Alumnae game, when they scored point after point for the school. Again sophomore girls figured in sports, this time in field hockey when Ann Boutwell and Frannie Turpin whizzed down the field, helping Malden win the first four games of her inter-urban com¬ petition. Murray Schwartz and Robert Gold¬ en of the Green room Dramatic Society brought down the house when they played important parts in “Unaccustomed As I Am,” a play presented at Malden and Melrose Annual Drama Night. With his oratorical ability, this time, Murray en¬ tered the Cog prize speaking contest, com¬ peted against seniors, and won the first prize, a trip to Colby College in Maine. Coach Taylor had nothing but praise for his s.s.’s (that’s sophomore sharpshooters), for Roland Cohee and Earl Weidner seemed very capable of hitting a round target squarely in the middle. Patriotism stirred the Blue and Gold Staff to action—and what breathtaking action—in their scrap drive. Don’t dare question that statement, for ma’am or sir (whatever you may be), if you have ever tried carrying a sky-high stack of papers up four flights of stairs, then you know that I’m not kidding when I say breath¬ taking. Well, the Blue and Goldsters day after day carried such bundles for the scrap paper drive and soon they had to stop, for the generous spirited students had brought enough paper to cover the walls of every room in school. { 156 Topping off the year with a mile long list of honor students and ending it with a promise to get still better marks, and help win the war, the sophomores left Malden High School with visions of class organization dancing in their heads. The next fall after elections had been completed, Miss Heald was chosen as adviser for our class, and assisting her, taking the responsibility of one thing and another were Miss Smith, Miss H inden- lang (now Mrs. McCarty), Miss Eunice Young, Mr. Wettergreen, Mr. Tolman, and Mr. Paul C. Smith (now serving in the United States Navy). Miss Gustin, a new member of M.H.S.’s faculty, slipped in when Mr. Smith slid down the ways into the sea. So that we’d be able to be recog¬ nized, the class decided, in its first stages of development, to choose a ring, to show future classes that we belonged to the best class ever graduated. (It says here.) “Let me let you in on a secret, Cobina, a lot of those fella’s bought rings just to hand over to some gal they’ve had their eye on fer a long time. Oh, pardon me, Cobina, but isn’t that ring on your third finger fit a little too loose?” Business men of the class decided that a good way to start off with a bang was to earn a little money so that we wouldn’t always have to borrow from some poor, broke pal. Well, these business men, headed by Joel Gordon, John Treacy and Alan Carey heard about a little deal down Philadelphia way, and they were fortunate enough to lure to Malden High School a certain magazine salesman by the name of Mr. Chevey who told the junior class how to make money, but quick! This salesman divided the class into two teams, the Blue team and the Gold, with John Treacy at the head of one, and Alan Carey at the head of the other. For two weeks these boys carried on valiantly with supervisor Gordon always watching for new prospects, until at the end of the drive they had earned for the class over $350. With the advent of the new season came a new problem, the first vital one that had faced the newly organized class. Who was to hold the position of supreme com¬ mander over all the members of this new group and who was to be trusted with the money? Votes were tallied day after day, until the final choices of the students had been accurately tabulated. Dana Bill was chosen to lead the class through the ensuing year and he was to have at his side to guide any lagging footsteps, Elaine Robinson. Ruth McKay our new secre¬ tary, kept accurate accounts of all that had happened between the class meetings, which came rather frequently, and John Galardi guarded and (with a corps of as¬ sistants) added to the treasury. When the wise advisers appointed John Mahoney chairman of the Junior Varieties, they made a move which caused many rounds of applause to issue from the audience. He produced an ultra-modern sidewalk cafe setting for the stage, and the committee chairmen sat on the stage at the cafe tables. Carl Moore of Station WEEI presided and introduced the nervous con¬ testants. Johnson and Leblanc, Paul Donovan and William Carter walked away with the prizes, and the tired but happy committee chairmen folded their tents like the Arabs and silently stole over to the Palace for a stiff coke. Junior Prom, Junior Prom, lots more fun at Junior Prom—and that’s how it all began—oh no not the idea, for that was born in Council when home room repre¬ sentatives chose Robert Nelson as chair¬ man of the publicity committee under Ralph Richardson the general chairman. Day after day the loudspeaker blared forth amateur advertisements in the guise of true commercials. That was also when Helen Alberico, with her committee aiding, began to decide what the promsters would eat as they danced by the refreshment tables. Meticulous Martha Collins made certain that the important prom guests were properly invited, Avhile colleague Marilyn Bruce saw to it that evening wraps were properly checked, and that all the friends of the class found their way to the reception line. John Boggia supervised ticket sales. Red, white, and blue dance programs designed and printed by Frank MacGilvray and Lillian Rossyn were pre¬ sented to each couple dancing to the choice of Maurie Hillson’s music committee, Bert Edwards and his band. The day of the prom found many members of the class with shirt sleeves rolled up, transforming the Marshall Gymnasium into a spring flower garden, in the middle of which was a fountain, playing on the stones beneath. Crown Prince and Princess, chosen by the junior officers of Melrose High School, were Fred Spies and Elaine Robinson, who ruled graciously over the dancing couples. Not to be overlooked was the main force behind this undertaking, Miss Smith. Incorporating all the potentialities and talents of junior students, Miss Smith produced a gala prom, long to be remem¬ bered by those who attended. There should have been, according to custom, a lull before the next storm broke loose, but instead, the class went right on with its activities, hardly stopping to catch a breath, a banner committee was formed under Mary O’Leary’s supervision to make a banner bearing the class seal; Robert Doucette was made head of the Constitution framers; and meanwhile each student of the class was making out a week¬ ly cost sheet, to determine, for a group of statisticians, just how much he had spent that week. Effects of these cost sheets were seen when the new sophomore class of ’46 established its payment plan of $12 to cover all the activities for the three years. Then there was Adolf Pietrus . . . (nuts—poor Adolf’s name will always be made a joke of. But it’s just that people don’t dare try.) Anyway Adolf sold us tickets to a bowling party to which we all il went and strained every muscle that could possibly ache. Fortunately, though, we were all able to manage through the next school day. Hmm! I wonder if he would have expelled us—oh no—not for staying out for aching muscles just for one day! Spring of ’43 rolled around, and with it came the customary yen for ocean breezes and salt spray. Some were affected by this yen more than others and it is to these enthusiasts that we owe our thanks for a super-outing at Nantasket. They arranged a schedule by which we could stay at the beach till the last penny arcade closed and still get home before our wor¬ ried parents sent out the state guard, the Coast Guard, and the Air Raid Wardens to find their vanished offspring. But smoothest of all the ultra attractions of chairman Harold Mclvers’ planning, was his finagling to get us a day out of school for this gorgeous treat. And that he did, that he did. The day was perfect, the “Mayflower” solid beneath Malden land¬ lubbers, and the carefully planned lunches more than ample for the already ravenous —shall we say “wolves”—from M.H.S. Yes we shall say wolves—oh so you don’t think so—well, my good friend, you evi¬ dently were not in the Red Mill at the precise moment that I was, and someone has undoubtedly misled you. But to re¬ turn to the original intent of this para¬ graph—er—um—ah yes. When the gang decided to go swimming, the fellows were given previews of summer fashions, but the touch of icy water was too much for the majority, and the softies soon found that most roads led to the aforementioned amusement park. When all that was left was a wrinkled ticket for home and an empty thermos bottle in the once full and overflowing pockets of Mr. Junior Class, then that gentleman bee-lined it for the vessel that was to take him away from his haven of pleasure and was to end his life (for the present) as a socialite of the class of ’44. He had had his last little fling, for with the coming year heavy responsibilities loomed up before him, responsibilities for which pleasure must turn aside and for which pleasure must take a powder. The fall of 1943 brought to us a new voice over the loudspeaker, a different head bent over tasks requiring authority, and an entirely new policy for Malden High School. Mr. Thornton Jenkins had retired after 42 years as headmaster, and Mr. John Matthews had assumed his role, immedi¬ ately taking his place, not only in authority, but in the hearts of the students as well. Mr. Jenkins left to us the reputation of being a polished and cultured institution; Mr. Matthews brought us liberal principals of education, along with Miss Turkington as the new head of the history department. Never ones to be called slackers, and definitely wanting to start with a zoom, the class of ’44, though sadly in want of males, warmed up its motors, already rarin’ to go, with senior elections. Again at the controls was Dana Bill, and Elaine Robin¬ son came through for a second time as co-pilot. Ruth McKay, it was decided, could still keep the most accurate log; and the only innovation was John Ma¬ honey, newly elected as keeper of the keys. For the first time in history, a Sophomore Orientation Day, “Rabbit” Gilman’s brainchild, was held to acquaint bewildered sophs with our complicated but wonderful two-building plant. Thirty sen¬ iors acted as guides. With the justifiable pride of being able to call themselves Seniors the students who were left after Uncle Sam had taken his quota planned with traditional am¬ bitiousness to hold monthly dances to add to our treasury. These dances were pro¬ vided with music by Sam Donato and his popular juke box, crammed with the latest tunes. One dance especially, will be re¬ called with happy thoughts, for it gave desperate damsels in distress a chance to hook themselves a man, for one evening anyway. This affair went by the name of the Saint Patrick’s Dance, and its main attraction was the performance of the recent winners of the class of ’45 Variety Show. Soon a new committee was formed to choose a three-act play for presentation by the thespians who were eager to exhibit their talent for the general public to approve. When Irma Gass and Robert Mur¬ ray were chosen for the title roles in the production, everyone knew that another successful venture was about to be chalked up for the class. Mrs. McCarty was very willing to admit that the amateurs she was handling, as coach, were to make history on the night of the final performance of the mirthful thriller “Mr. and Mrs. North.” Her spirit of helpfulness and co-operation was also shown by the busi¬ ness managers of the play, who had as their advisor the capable Miss Smith, and as co-chairmen, Kathleen Doherty and John Boggia. This staff was deserving of every word of merit that was expressed to it; they did an exceptional piece of work in gathering costumes, scenery, sound effects, in selling tickets, and giving the play scads of publicity. Miss Richardson’s gals served chocolate and sandwiches to the cast every afternoon, too. Again commercials filled the airways between homerooms and the office, when Kenneth Sagrans began his publicity for the great event of the Senior Social calen¬ dar . . . the Senior Prom. Experience taught economy to pupils who were chosen to be committee heads. Thus, changing the precedent set by former Prom planners, the refreshment committee, under the guid¬ ance of Elaine Schwenke, decided not to have a professional caterer, but to seek the cooking department’s aid in planning for cookies and punch “made on the premises.” Marilyn Sullivan and Betty McCoy respectively, had charge of tickets and invitations, and John Galardi with his swing conscious mob hired, for the second year. Bert Edwards and his band. Robert George was overseer of the programs which were white folders with blue tassels and were embossed with a red class seal. Rose M azonson carried out her clever plans for the gym and the boys of the manual arts department built the walls of a ski cabin that was to be the center of the decorations for the big night. That cabin was just out of this world, too, with its cozy fire, and the scuffable bear rugs made you want to sit right down and watch the world go by. Eleanor Vittorini and John Provost, co- chairmen of the Prom, added the finishing touches and waited breathlessly to find out who would reign over their efforts and become king and queen of the dance. The judges during this Prom were the senior officers and their girls from Melrose High. Sonny Spies certainly must have gone over with them; for a second year they elected him to rule as king with beautiful Marie Muleahey as queen of the Prom. So another of Miss Smith’s efforts was rewarded and the affair was pronounced a success in every respect. The big results of the 1943 magazine sales spurred the class onto a second maga¬ zine drive, with Alan Carey and his two pretty assistants Barbara Shea and Doro¬ thy Jern heading it. The second drive lent a patriotic note, for under Barbara was the Army team, while Dotty’s was that of the Navy. The drive ran for twenty- seven days, and in this time the returns amounted, in terms of profit, to more than two hundred dollars. Prizes were awarded to those who had sold three or more sub¬ scriptions, and the two whose names were drawn out of the hat, as the winners of a twenty-five dollar War Bond and an American flag, were respectively Mary Frances McCrath and Ruth Whittaker. Thirty-seven members of the class of ’44 were elected to the National Honor Society in February of the same year, on the basis of their service to the school, their character, scholarship, and the lead¬ ership qualities that they had manifested during the three years in high school. At an assembly before the entire school each member of this society pledged himself to uphold the four principals engraved on the keystone, the emblem of all that the society embraces. Climaxing the happiest years of the class came the Senior Banquet planned to every detail by Marilyn Sullivan and Rich¬ ard Holden who helped us recall briefly the wonderful times we had all spent to¬ gether. Graduation—and the empty places in our ranks —mute reminders of our class¬ mates in service, with Pete and Ann and Archie giving their speeches, with the trains rumbling by, with the last moment a huge lump in the throat, and the dis¬ covery that you have someone else’s di¬ ploma-graduation, and smiles and proud parents and goodbyes, so we’ll add ours right now. •{ 162 Who’s Who 1.
