When you have a message that you want people to read, you want it printed so that it will be easy for them to read. The cheapest job, from the standpoint of results, is not always the lowest priced job of printing. A little extra care in the preparation and production of a piece of printing matter is worth much more from the ‘ results” standpoint than the slight extra cost of good printing over poor work.

R BOOK 1927 12 Marlborough Junior and Senior High Schools 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 DEDICATION To EVAN W. D. MERRILL Principal of the Senior and Junior High Schools SINCE February 1921 who has worked so faithfully in the interests of the students of the JMarlborough High School the Class of 1927 dedicates this book 13 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 To the Class of 1927: Every year in this beautiful month of June a new class of American youth “hops off” and sails away on the wings of ambition. Each school group in this class strives to hearten and inspire its members to high aim and firm resolution, and to gain this end the Class selects some great guiding thought and expresses it in words that shall hold it for¬ ever in the minds and hearts of classmates. Emblazoning these words upon the wings of your plane, each of you takes off alone, laying your course to meet the rising sun. What shall be your aim? Altitude? Distance? Speed? As you munch your sandwich and meditate upon your course, you think upon the wisdom of conservative age, “What man has done, man can do.” But you are soaring Eastward. The light of a new sun is sprea ding over the horizon, and, leading you, arises the vision of a great spirit bearing a modest name, now gloriously re-christened the Spirit of America, and Aurora stretches forth her arms to greet you and writes with her rosy finger upon the skies, “What man has never done, youth shall do.” YTat are the high aims inspired by your motto “I’ll Try, Sir!”? In it I see first, modesty, determination, enthusiasm. Then looking deeper I know that you seek great things to do, hard things to do, a chance for service, and its true reward. The able seaman ordered to haul upon a rope replies “Aye, aye. Sir.” Asked to go over-board and save a life, when it can’t be done, he says “I’ll try. Sir” and does it. As graduates of the Marl¬ borough High School, forever ours, there will be great things to do for your school. “They can’t be done.” You will do them. But now I look deeper, into the very heart of your motto, and there I find your highest thought, your greatest power. You seek leadership. You will find it. You will follow it. You know that no man can ever be so great that he needs no leader. And what will that leader ask you to do? Give your life for another? Give your life for your Country? The Supreme Leader says to you only “Follow Me.” And that true reward which you seek? The words of your Heavenly Father, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” Evan W. D. Merrill 14 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Class Advisors To THE Class of 1927: The approach of the time that will sever the close relationship we have enjoyed for three } ' ears fills both of us with deep regret. The duties of advisors are arduous, but vou have made our work a source of pleasure. Our fellow teachers have often commented on the admirable traits possessed by you young people—you constitute an exceptional class. Reflecting on the preparations for our various class activities, at no time can we re¬ call when the spirit of your motto, “Til try, Sir”, has not been lived up to. Your interest, your co-operation and your good will, have accomplished results. Perhaps the simple words of Lord Andrew Gordon in the Senior Play express our senti¬ ments more aptly than any other words could, ‘dt has been well worth while knowing you and being one of the family,”—for after all that is what this class has been. No one could be prouder than we are that your Commence¬ ment is at hand and we shall watch with great interest your progress in Life. Select worthy objectives, work ever with your motto in mind, and whether your attainments be marked with distinction or mediocrity, you will have lived a full life. May happiness and prosperity be yours, and remember. Class of 1927, we shall always be cheering for you. Georgia Rlth R.xthburn Richard Aidax McCarthy IS 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Louis F.

God of centuries—of ages, Since Thou gave this world her birth All mankind has gone his way here. Every man has proved his worth. Life before us now is opening With its hopes of much to gain; May we ever keep the Highroad,— Drawn up as the sun, the rain. Life Thou great eternal Spirit, We who worship Thee must find Our own way out to light and service,— We cannot remain here—blind. Life! Oh Life, look kindly on us Who fare forth to taste Thy cup Like the birds, in fear, yet thrilling To Thy promise—bear us up! All receive it, overflowing. This great cup of Se rvice high. Some but sip it, some quaff deeply. Some, turn from it, and pass by. Our turn now to choose a pathway, Ours, whose tales are yet unsung. Ours, to greet Thee and salute Thee, Life! We love Thee—we are young! Marlboro High, we’ll ne’er forget Thee, Days with Thee were pleasant here. But we too must give our answer When Life whispers in our ear. So today from Thee we journey Each his way, yet bound to Thee By the ties of happy friendships Formed in four years spent with Thee. Our colors,—rose, what does that stand for? For a life that love makes bright. And silver, for the inside lining— Matters not how dark the night. Give Thy blessing, Alma hlater; As we answer Life’s great call With our motto, T will try Sir!” Help us! Guide us! Guard us all! Charlotte V. Drake 17 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 CLJSS MOTTO Trj) CLASS COLORS SILVER AND ROSE If I were an artist, I’d try, Sir, The beauty in life to disclose; Td try to interpret earth’s secrets With colors of silver and rose. The reason I’ve chosen these colors And not those of some other hue. Is because they belong to the Seniors, Marlborough High “27”—so true. The rose stands to me for the sunshine That helps to make all burdens light; And silver I’d use for the star-shine That peek-a-boos through the dark night. Then, too. I’d take silver for raindrops, The coin used by old Alother Earth, And rose for the sweet apple blossoms— The sign of God’s spring, and new birth. Oh, rose and bright silver are fairest Of all of the ' olors we meet,— The one is the glory of sunrise, The other makes twilight complete. The poet has likened God’s mercy To dew in the grass,—silver dew; And rose is for truth that stands with it To guide us in all that we do. Oh how we shall try with our might. Sir, To make our lives silver and rose;— Be kindly to all—that’s for silver. Spread sunshine, love truth—that’s for rose. Audrey E. Cann 18 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 CLASS OFFICERS Karl Craig, Treas. Josephine Minehan, Sec. Alice Gaucher, Vice Pres. Jeremiah Dolan, Pres. 19 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Jeremiah Joseph Dolan “Jerry” Class President “A good name is rather to be chosen than riches.” When we organized our class in the Sopliomore Year, we chose Jerry as our Class President and he has served us well in that capacity for three years. Jerry made his first appearance as an actor in our Senior play ‘‘Adam and Eva”, taking the part of Dr. Delamater and he made a decided hit with the audience. He handled his clinical thermometer in a most professional manner and the way he tested John R’s reflexes was most amazing. How¬ ever he turned out to be a common fortune-hunter after all! In athletics, too, Jerry has played a leading part. He made some pretty catches in his position in left field, and he has also shown his grit in football. The school will miss him in more ways than one. Alice Evelyn Gaucher “Gooch” Class Vice President “She’s all my fancy painted her.” Can you tell us why A1 is so popular? We could tell you, but the reasons are so many we should never finish. As “Eva” in our Senior Play she made every heart in the audience flutter as well as Lord Andrew’s. We wonder if she is always as bashful as she appeared just before the curtain went down in the last act. Yes? Her business ability has made itself felt in the increase in attendance at the Marlborough Theatre since she took the ticket seller’s seat. Dashing down Rawlins Avenue to be at w ' ork on time is one of Gooch’s hobbies. Does anybody know the vacation dates at St. Anselm’s? Bye now, All Josephine Ruth Minehan “Joe” Class Secretary “Good humor and. generosity carry the day.” Sweet shades of recognized merit! Gertrude Ederle may think she’s “in the swim” but she takes her seat in a distinctly rear position when Joe Minehan appears. Joe has not been found wanting in popularity or ability as far as the class of ’27 is con¬ cerned. She has nobly recorded our class activities for three years and we, feel proud to admit that she never blundered. Josephine has ■ won a high place in the hearts of our girls, and boys. You don’t limit yourself to “our boys” either, do you Joe? With her many attributes and her few failings, Josephine certainly has proved a factor in our progress. May still more success attend her activities elsewhere. 20 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Karl Stetson Craig “Craigie” Class Treasurer ' Oh, he sits high in all the people’s hearts!” The man behind the bat is our Treasurer, Karl Craig, who has rendered the school great service in athletics. He played end on the football team and there weren’t many plays that M ent through him. Karl is also a lover of baseball and has played on the nine for four years. As a Freshman he played second base but his catching ability was brought to light in an emergency and he is still holding forth behind the bat. He acted as Mr. Baxter, the father of Willie Sylvanus, in our Junior Play and he certainly laid down the law to his young (?) son. We wish we might have had the privilege of seeing him in his dress suit but Willie had it on that night! Marion Viola Allen “Mary Ann” Class Blonde “Sweet gild graduate with her golden hair.” Marion Allen needs no introduction for she is one of the general favorites of the school and our class Paderewski. Marion put herself on the High School map when she started in her Freshman Year to play for the orchestra and Friday assembly. She has surely tried to give her best and has won a speaking part at graduation. In her Junior year she changed her name to Lola” but after two nights decided she preferred her original. Marion is planning to be a teacher after a course at Framing¬ ham Normal. One day, while speaking to Miss S. from Fram¬ ingham she asked if she would have any chance to get in the Glee Club. Miss S. said she could try at least. Not quite satisfied with this Marion questioned, “But what will they say if I can’t sing?” We know Marion’s pleasing personality will find favor with all. Marion Phyllis Angier “Mudge” Class Modesty “She is as constant as the stars.” Marion is one of our quiet little girls in school but as the result of a private investigation we learn that she is a different Vlarion outside. We have heard that all the Odd Fellows Dances find her in attendance, well looked after. Although small of stature she has no difficulty in handling the Study Hall traffic. So far she has come off without a scratch and that’s saying a good deal for, when eighty odd pupils surge out of one small door, there’s no telling what may happen— especially at the end of the last period! Her ambition is to enter the nursing profession and the Class wishes her well. 21 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Evelyn Anna Auclaire ' ‘Ev” Class Dictionary “How forcible are right words!” One of the first things we were told when we entered this High School was to cultivate an extensive vocabulary. Evelyn certainly heeded this advice because, honestly, it seems as if she knows every word in the Dictionary. If you ev ' er find yourself hard up for a word ask Evelyn, she ' ll help you out. Not long ago she was seen carrying a French Dictionary. What next are you going to attempt, Evelyn. Evelyn plays the piano uncommonly well and has already made her initial appearance In the Marlborough Theater. For a few ' days this spring she entertained the rash Idea of leaving school but fortunately for our Class Book her good judgment triumphed and she is being graduated with us. Aren’t you glad you changed your mind, Evelyn. We are! At present Evelyn aspires to be a nurse and we sincerely hope that she will be able to realize her ambition. Jennie Alice Badavis “Jerry” Class Bright Eyes “An all around girl With an all around heart, From zvhom we all Will hate to part.” In every class there Is always a star and In the class of 1927 thaC star is Jennie. She excels In everything—just look at her report card if you don’t believe it. Because of her ability she has been given an honor part on the graduation program.-and is the Editor-in-Chlef of the Year Book staff. We mustn’t forget to mention that she has been one of the faithful girls w ' ho, directed our straying feet through the corridors,-—rather she prevented us from straying! Not much escapes those brow ' n eyes of hers! For diversion she drives a Buick, and the best part of It is that she is generous with her rides. Every once in awhile she takes a trip to Boston and we wonder what the attraction is. The matter should be looked Into Immediately! Bryant and Statton’s will w ' elcome Jennie in the fall. Bessie Eleanor Baker “Ellv” Class IDancer “But 0, she dances such a way, No sun upon an Easter-day, Is half so fine a sight.” Before w ' e turn to the lighter side of Bessie ' s history we must mention the fact that she excels in her school w ' ork and has won a graduation honor. She showed us her dancing ability wdien she appeared on the Assembly Hall stage last Christmas and turned and glided while W ' e marvelled at her grace. But dancing isn’t her only form of exercise. Who goes skating with you, Bessie.? Riding In a flivver she prefers to a ride in a Caddie,—but— love is senseless as well as blind,” they say. M. H. S. loses you, Bessie, to Bryant Sc Stratton’s advantage. Best Wishes! - 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Kva Anna Baldacci . “Eva” Class Senorita “To the stars through difficulties, To achieve fame in spite of obstacles.” Eva is our Spanish belle. We might wax poetic and add that she suggests beautiful Castilian laces, the whirl of a Spanish tango, or a guitar strumming a plaintive air below the veranda of a hacienda in the moonlight, etc., etc. In Ci II Government, Miss D. declares that Eva is her harshest critic. That is to say, Miss D. must be extremely careful to avoid big words”, inasmuch as they drive Eva almost to dis¬ traction. However. It is perfectly permissible for Miss D. to employ these words” with accompanying definitions. Eva then proceeds to commit these atrocities to paper, much to the great delight of the class. Due to these contributions, Eva has been able to compile a vocabulaiA ' of huge proportions. Anna Adaline Benson “Benny’ Class Dlgnity “0 lady, nobility is thine!” 10:15! Wliere ' s Anna Benson? Must be in the lunch room— not eating, of course, but merely encouraging others to do so. ' eH all buy if she would only sell her mother’s famous Angel Cake. .Anna likes the winter season because she can go sliding and we wonder why that pastime so fascinates her. In school she is always on her dignity and we should like to know how she manages to keep it flying down hill on a Flexible Flyer. She tells us she may go to the Sargent’s School of Physical Education and our best wishes go with her. Oliver Joseph Bisson “Bissy” Class Silence “Silence that zvhis zvhere eloquence is vain.” Bisson—the man who never talks—unless It ' s necessary! Oliver has not entered actively into school sports but has been a ver ' loyal supporter of all the games. He move; in that circle composed of our classmates who are able so successfully to meet and defeat advanced Bookkeeping. Ever faithful, we have always found him willing to do his part for class and school. He deserves the best of life and we wish him that best. 23 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Doris Marion Brodeur “Dot” Class Critic “Before ' proceeding further, let me speak.” How Dot loves to argue, especially in Secretarial Training with Mr. M. If Columbus were living she would try to persuade him that the earth was oval. But, for all that, she’s an amiable comrade and a willing worker. Dot has two envious advantages both inside and outside of school—her home is on the top of Prospect Street and her seat is near the door in Room 36, there¬ fore, she gets her beauty sleep without being late for school. Sometimes, however, she tries to become too beautiful and has to get an admission ticket. In the fall Doris intends to teach music for she is an excel¬ lent pianist, although she is very modest about it. We wish her all the success in the world. Anna Louise Browning “Ann” Class Smiler “Her smile was prodigal of summery shine ,— Gaily persistent—like a morn in June That laughs away the clouds.” Something’s wrong with Anna Browning when she isn’t smil¬ ing. Have any of you ever seen her when she wasn’t. With that winning smile she has broken many hearts and Wednesday night seems to be her specialty. Anna likes horseback riding, especially when she has company, and she isn’t above riding in a Ford. She surely did herself credit in the Junior and Senior plays. As Mrs. Baxter in “Seventeen” she was sweet and motherly; and this year as Aunt Abbie, the elderly social butterfly she seemed born to the lorgnette. She expects to go to Framingham Normal and we all wish her the best of luck. Keep smiling, Anna! Helen Aurore Bruyere “Helen” Class Demoiselle “A cheek tinged lightly and a dove-like eye; And all hearts bless her as she passes by.” A quaint girl, with a quaint personality, and a quaint way about her is Helen. In many respects, Helen reminds us of a sweet, rosy, cherub. We say this because she stands before us plump and small, with exquisitely blooming cheeks (undoubtedly natural). She has a “go” which is native to her; in short, she is a crucible of keenness, alertness, and vivacity. Helen is rarely at a loss for words in recitations; on the con¬ trary she dotes on them, and is a veritable storeroom of knowledge. As her English teacher expresses It, her vocabulary rolls out in spite of itself. She’s a regular shark when it comes to Civil Government. When she commences to expound some deeply involved theory, we can only sit and gape and wonder hazily how she does It all. Of course, Bryant Stratton’s will receive Helen, another of our honor pupils, with open arms and she will bear out J;heir faith in her, even as she has with Marlboro High. 24 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Audrey Evelyn Cann • ‘ Audrey” Class Poet “To know, to esteem, to love—and then to part Makes up life’s tale to many a feeling heart.” What shall we do when Audrey leaves our little city for the big city of Haverhill? We shall not forget her smile and that dimple in her left cheek! Our local news sheet, too, will miss publishing Audrey’s name for it is Audrey Cann now and Audrey Cann every so often with them. And why shouldn’t she receive so much publicity when her social functions are carried on so wonderfully and her readings rendered in such an excellent manner? But before she goes we’re going to lay bare a deep, dark secret. Those who thought Audrey always had her lessons prepared should have seen her some mornings swallowing huge mouthfuls of German grammar. It must be great to have an apparatus somewhere above one’s shoulders that can assimilate like that! We shall welcome your cheerful Hello”, Audrey, when you visit us in the future. Here are our deepest love and sincere wishes for you. Fay Edward Carey “Fay” Class Speedster “He lives at ease, that freely lives.” Fay is one of the most popular young fellows of the class. One can see him on pleasant afternoons driving his Ford Touring” about the principal streets of our city. His reputation as a Snappy Dresser” w’on him a part in the Senior Play and he ful¬ filled all expectations—and then some—to wit the brown derby. He will not have to learn how to make love to his wife after all the practise gained in this same performance. He is planning to go to C. M. T. C. this summer to make himself a “big” man and St. Anselm’s is his goal for the fall. Angelina Agnes Cincotta “Annie” Class Puzzle Annie, the perplexing, Annie, the lovable, Annie, a studious maid of Marlboro High School. {U ' ith apologies to 7 ' ennyson) First and always, Annie is diminutive. Then, in turn we find her coldly practical, provokingly discerning, dishearteningly -matter- of-fact (as deplored by Miss H.) and hopelessly devoid of senti¬ ment. She is a most energetic little body when at work with that half-defiant expression which is habitual to her. But, in her moments of recreation, she lays by her quiet reserve and abounds in sparkling vitality. Annie is a shorthand Whiz”, and we sur¬ mise (according to testimony happily rescued by Mrs. .M. from its doom in the waste-basket) that she will become a teacher of that mystic and highly bewitching art—stenography. 25 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Alexander Joseph Colexa lluck” Class Diligence “Diligence is the mother of good luck.” Here he is—anotlier bashiul boy! Coming home from Boston I luck was amazed and very uneasy when a certain young lady laid her head on his shoulder. Maybe he didn’t turn the colors of a rainbow! Huck has never told us that he likes school, but it is taken for granted when we see the good marks he gets. The favorite expression with which he greets some of the boys in the morning is, ‘‘Hey, have you got your Bookkeeping doner He is well known as an athlete for he showed up very well last fall in kicking the pigskin, and he also did good work in the line. He was one of the mainstays of the basketball team, and he plays rights field on the nine. Marion Beech Cushm.ax “Cushie” Class Independent “How she can reel off that History Is to us a I ' ery great mystery.” Cushie is always busy and always prepared with her lessons. She is a joy to her teachers for e ' en if everyone else forgets or fails, Marion saves the situation and the reputation of the class. We wonder if there is a book in the ctiy that she hasn’t read. How she remembers it all is more than we can conceive. Besides a fondness for reading Cush has another weakness, tulips . We don’t know about her backyard but we imagine that at least one half of it is devoted to the growing of those colorful flowers. Marion intends to go to Bridgewater Normal School this fall. We hope that she may fulfill her ambitions and make us proud to have known her as a member of our class. W ILLI.A.M Sexton Downey lister” Downey Class Salesman “He can look serious and he can look gay, And he’s some salesman allow us to say.” Hail to pur class salesman and class maiden allurer! Wdren Bill Downey is not ably showing the up-to-date shoes to customers he is reciting the lines of Macbeth” in a fearful manner, to a member of the weaker sex. Bill can always pick out a nice look¬ ing shoe or girl (but he is more sound in his judgment of shoes). Because Bill has always been friendly with everyone he ranks high among the popular boys of our class, and because he has been faithful to study he will in all probability enter college in the fall. Wherever he may go he may be sure that the memory that he leaves will be cherished. 26 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Charlotte ’irginia Drake “Chookic” Class Infant “Play not for gain, but sport.” If here isn’t our little friend Charlotte Drake,—our class baby in years, at any rate! Chookie is one of our best sports, the highest kicker in the school, a good basket-ball player and our cheer leader. As a traffic officer she’s as gentle as a lamb but there’s no telling what might happen if a “jam” occurred. Chookie is a poetess and artist too, and if she continues the good work we shall see the fruits of her literary labors In print and her pictures in the famous art galleries of the world. Charlotte proved her skill as an actress in the Junior play—not much Chookie can’t do. Minerva May Drake “Mi m y) Class Nightingale “0!—She mil sing the savageness out of a bear.” ’hen the two Drake girls entered High School four years ago they were spoken of as the “light one” and the “dark one”. Well, we’re talking about the “dark one” now. Minerva possesses a very clear, soprano voice which everyone delights to hear. Several times during our four years she has favored us with solos. Alin” has been one of the traffic regulators. With just a Hash of an eye, chaos is turned into order. We hope that she may always be able as easily to turn things around to her way of thinking. Joseph Francis Evans “Joe” Class Helper “y great worker—yet how modest!” Introducing the man behind the scenes in both our Senior and Junior Plays—Joe Evans. Without Joe our stage ventures would hardly have been a success for not many would have undertaken to make a pine forest blossom where a living room had been before. Joe also has been very prominent In sports. He plays both base¬ ball and football exceedingly well. Although he shone as quarter¬ back on the eleven, baseball is the sport that he prefers. Third base is his position and there is not a better player in the Midland League. Hail, Big Boy! 27 1927 THE YEAR BOOEl 1927 Velma Truell Farley ‘‘ f ' ' d ” Class Camper “And when once the young heart of a maiden is stolen, The maiden herself will steal after it soon.” Velma Farley is one of our quiet girls except during the 6th period Fridays. She seems then to be very much excited as she looks out of the window and questions what kind of weather it will be over the weekend. Why so concerned about the weekends, Velma.? Quiet people, however, are usually deep thinkers. When Miss H. asked the class, one day, whether to break an egg at the top or bottom Velma was heard to say, after deep meditation, “In the middle.” We wonder if you know, Velma, that cream and eggs go well together. Velma spends her afternoons in Frye’s Office, where she expects to continue her work after graduation. Be.st wishes from 1927! Alice Rita Fitzgerald “Fitzy Class Angel “In height, she is not tall. In friendship she is not small.” Alice is tiny but she certainly does get into a lot of mischief for a person her size. Whenever there are any disturbances In the Civil Government class Miss D. always looks right over at P ' itzy. It’s too bad, Alice, that you’re such a quiet child. Alice can be serious, too, because she always has her lessons prepared. What would we do without her and her little red dictionary? Many a time she has saved the day with that book, especially when we hadn’t looked up all unusual words. Mary M. and Alice are great pals. Wherever you see Mary, her litle lamb (Fitzy) is very likely to be found in the near vicinity. ' W ' ith a smile for all and a jest for a choice few she has found a place for herself In our affections. Leona Gareau “Leona” Class Innocence “The first of all virtues is innocence; the next is modesty.” Unobtrusive, industrious, charmingly childish,—these are our four years’ impressions of Leona. Somehow it doesn’t require an abundance of imagination to picture her In a pinafore with a great bow of blue ribbon for her hair. Her naivete, so completely disarming, renders her ridiculously Immature compared to the rest of her “grown-up” classmates. She seldom smiles but is more often pensive and serious. Always faithful to her work she has invariably been a model student and we know that she will aim wisely and well at the work which is her goal. 28 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Madeline Grogan “Maddie” Class Violet “Her mnocence is like a flower.” Made ' ine is one of those quiet little girls who are always on hand but are seldom heard from. She throws off her cloak of reserve sometimes, however, and her happy little giggle often leads the class into outburst when something humorous happens. When she was a tiny child she had a bow ' on her hair; now ' W ' C hear she still has one (but not that kind). With her warm smile and gentle manners Madddie is alw ' ays welcome and we are sure she will fit most creditably into her own particular niche in the world. Madeline Elizabeth Hackett “Maddy” Class Mystery “JVe have been frie?ids together In sunshine and in shade.” The ‘’Mystery Woman of ’27” is well portrayed by Miss Hackett. Silent yet popular, unobtrusive yet ever active and industrious, Madeline is a ' treasure that is only found in a class such as ours. As w e have come to know her Madeline’s popularity has risen as the mercury rises on a hot day in summer and the charm of her “golden silence” is always appreciated by her class¬ mates. She is surely an excellent example of the “sober, stead¬ fast, and demure”. Success, w ' e knowq aw ' aits her. ■ K.vtherine Agnes Hanley “Kay” Class Popularity “They who are pleased themselves must always please.” Page Miss Hanley of the Marlboro High School! Katherine breaks all popularity records. She does w ' ell in her studies and is a loyal supporter of all class and school activities. Imagine what a flop “Old ’27” would be without her. Her ready smile has accumulated more friends for her than Cleopatra’s wiles ever bew ' itched suitors and although she is going from us now ' she leaves with us the memory of four pleasant years spent in her company. 29 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Alice Reddy Hart “Al” Class Sprite “To brisk notes in cadence beating Glance her merry, tuhnkling feet.’ ' Here ' s to the quiet, little lady who stars as a fancy dancer. She and her partners certainly made a pretty picture in the Poin- settia Dance at the Christmas entertainment. Al’s abilities do not end there, howe ' er, for her sweet soprano voice is always much in ecddence on Thursday morning; and her skill in “tickling the i ■ories” is really surprising. She has a very intimate friend with the same name as her own and the two Als” are seldom seen apart outside of school hours. Perhaps the brother of the other Alice has something to do with it. He was the sprinter of his class, remember. Watch out, Alice! We hope your future may be as bright and happy as you are yourself. Cynthia Elinore H. .stings “Cyn” Class Fairy Foot “A smile for all, a welcome glad; A jovial, coaxing way she had.” Cyn believes that to be happy you must be good. That’s why she is so quiet inside the school room,—we’re not so sure about her outside! She is a talented dancer and we all love to watch her f r she has that willowy grace that is so pleasing. Her mother was wise when she procured such a fine watchdog as Victor, for after dancing-school the boy friends dare to walk with her only as far as three houses from her own. Cyn has one individual characteristic which no one is able to imitate—noiseless laughter. No matter how extremely humorous something may be, she is like a moving picture actress on the screen, seen but not heard. Good luck to you Cyster! Whatever you do, we know it will be done well. L.4WRENCE Kingsbury H.vyford “Andy” Class Kreisler “Music resembles poetry; in each Are nameless graces which no methods teach. And which a master-hand alone can reach.” Oh, I say! Do you remember Lord Andrew Gordon, the Scotch laird of the Senior Play, “Adam and Eva”. Here’s the old boy himself. Lawrence is a great actor, but a greater musician for he plays the violin, piano, and organ. He has written the w,-rds and music for our class song and we take just pride in this since it is the first time in tweK’e years that there has been an original tune for the class song. Lawrence intends to study at the New England Conservatory of Music and we wish him con¬ tinued success. 30 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 James Gerald Honen “Jim” Class Grin “S in He- — smile—sm He!” If there is any company that wants a good electrician, we can recommend Jim, for he had some very good experience when the senior class put on its play Adam and E -a’’. Our class has no chronic grouches but there are a few of us to whom a smile is more becoming than to others and Jim is one of the perpetual smilers. We wish he would not try to comb out that nice curl in his hair, though,—why spoil a good thing, Jim? You know the rival sex is keen about wa y locks. James has not created too much of a stir in school but we haA-e a feeling he is saving up his thunder to hurl at the world later. Here’s to you! H.arold Leon Hunter “Hal” Class Barber “As well be out of the world as out of fashion.” Introducing Harold Hunter, Knickerbocker Twin No. 1. He and his twin brother” recently became famous by displaying sufficient nerve to wear knickers in school. He, too, was one of Miss Lola Pratt ' s swains in the Junior Play, “Seventeen”. Harold was chairman of the picture committee and Avas decidedly in his glory in the picture of that group for he was the only boy com¬ pletely surrounded by girls! Speaking of pictures, how the girls are raving over his profile! Harold joins the working class after graduation and we wish him success in every undertaking. WhuLiAM Joseph Kelleher “Bill” Class Book Lover “A blessing on the printer’s art!” When he was in the lower classes we seldom heard much from Bill e.xcept in recitation, when he could always be depended upon to answer correctly—but in the last year or two he has become much more talkative and we have all enjoyed his discourses. Bill is an ardent lover of books and spends much time in the library. He is developing, too, as a gymnast and takes the jumps like a veteran. Keep up the good work, Bill, you may yet be a headliner on the sporting page! And, Bill, did you or Lil eat up the left over candy after the Senior Play? Somebody did! 31 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Samuel Kunen “Sam” Class Lawyer “J ' Fe enjoy otirselves only in our work, our doing; and our best doing is our best enjoyment.” Shades of the Gossip! Here is the editor of that famous sheet which died so hard our Junior Year. Let it rest in peace! Sam has been one of the consistent members of the class; that is, he started in well ' and is finishing up the same way. Everybody is willing to concede that he is going to make his mark in the world and make old Marlboro proud of him (as a “hi-jumper”, perhaps!) We marvel at the dispatch with wdiich he learned and executed his lines in “Adam and Eva” and w e have no fears for him as a manager of a family, or painter (hen house), or financier after his training as Adam. May he flourish as a lawyer. Am I right, Sam? Lillian Mary Laviolette “ Lil ” Class Candy Kid “There’s nothing like fun, is there?” Games! Has Lil missed many? We wonder whether it is the cousin she loves to see play or whether the team as a whole interests her. Lil is one of our popular girls and we know the reason—she’s a friend to all and is always ready with a helping, capable hand. To become a nurse is her ambition, and we’re going to put off taking our place on the sick list until she has won her little starched cap! Raymond Taft Lemay “Ray” Class Gentleman “Modest of manner, and gentle of heart.” We don’t hear very much from Raymond, but we are wise enough to know that “still water runs deep”. His knowledge of electricity proves that for he can explain about everything from electrophorus to electrocution. We are sure Ray will be as famous as Benjamin Franklin some day for he has already gained quite a reputation among his school fellow ' s. It is difficult to get the better of Raymond in a dispute—not that he argues much for he’s far too amiable for that; but w ' hen he does set in to prove his point he’s a regular Daniel Webster. His ability as stage manager w ' as exhibited in the Junior Play and we know “Seventeen” wou ld not have been quite such a success if the actors had not known that Ray Lemay was ready to prompt them if it were needed. We have overheard him say that he pre¬ fers blondes; of course it is because he is a gentleman. 32 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Robert Fergus Lyons “Bobby” Class Rush “Tho I am always in haste, I am never in a hurry.” In the corridors it’s always ‘‘Robert” on the lips of the girls. They all like to talk to him in school and dance with him at proms; in fact he served on both the Junior and Senior Dance Committees which is proof enough of his social graces. Bobby has shone, too, in Miss D’s History class and has become an able debater thanks to Civil Government. So far as we can learn he hasn’t won any medals in spelling, but we know he is waiting for the time when we shall spell words the way they sound,—then he will be in his glory. Bob has made good on the track as a dash runner and many times has shown his merit. He expects to continue his running at Northeastern University. Emily Marguerite Marshall “Margy” Class Fudge Expert “Her common sense, mixed well with fun. Has made her liked by every one!’ Marguerite is one of our quiet and studious girls. Because of her pleasant disposition and her willingness to help the other fellow she is a favorite with all her school mates. Last winter during the mid-years Margy decided to take a vacation so she left us behind and journeyed to the hospital. Now be candid and tell us. Marguerite, was the History test as bad as that or was it that week in Woolworth’s. We never hear Marguerite talk about her particular friends but it’s hard to tell about these quiet people—she’ll probably surprise us some day. Marguerite is undecided about her future but we feel sure that she will succeed in anything she attempts. Thomas Joseph McCook “Joe” Class Wit “H it is the salt of conversation!’ Now Joe, how about a sweet serenade tonight. Why not tune up your little old uke” and take your stand beneath some fair damsel’s window? Shall we ever forget the way Joe sang his duet in “Seventeen”? The tune “Sweet Genevieve” has never sounded quite the same since. Joe (even our Latin teacher uses the diminutive) will always be recognizable by his broad smile. That must be the charm that attracts so many “Madchen”. We say “Madchen” because he is a shark in German and he will be able to read this even if we do insert a few foreign phrases. Mornings before school and afternoons he may be seen, in a spotless white coat, working at a local drug store. These are the only hours Bill and he are sepa¬ rated. Next time you meet him ask him for some sodium chloride! He intends to continue his studies at Fitchburg Normal and we are confident of his success. 33 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Mary Rita McGuigan May” Class Track Enthusiast Fur she’s a jolly good fellow.” • May Is another one of those senior girls in Room 36, and although she Is not so “girlstrous” as the rest, her twinkling blue eyes suggest a friendship that is not to be scorned. She is a Milford girl but she is loyal to the Marlboro High and is always ready to help in any acti ' ity. (By the way, if you can’t pro¬ nounce her name ask the physical director.) May has a keen interest in track meets; especially in the dashes. She ' s quite a runner herself and maybe that explains it and maybe it doesn’t. As she intends to become a nurse her own speed on the track will be a recommendation for rush cases. Her character reminds us of “Agnes Wickfield and we suspect that there is a “David Copperfield hovering about as her favorite home atmosphere con¬ sists of a piano a banjo, and dimly lighted room. .M ARGARET M. RIE Mc.M.viiox Bi-Bi” Class Baby What is this little girl thinking about? Very wonderful things no doubt!” To Alargaret belongs the appelation of “Class Baby , for despite all her erudition and enviable record as an honor student, she is primarily and essentially the exact prototype of a sweet, wistful baby. Petite as “Peg is, she is endow ' ed with v ' ery .broad ideas Insofar as the trend of fashionable dress is concerned. It is our conjecture that she dec ' otes at least two hours daily to the serious contemplation of a style magazine. There is not a fad which escapes her searching eye; and, in consequence her status as fashion authority In M. H. S. is now securely established. Peg graced both our Junior and Senior plays in her own delightful manner. Needless to say, her popularity was instan¬ taneous. The success which has attended Peg throughout her M. H. S. career will not desert her in the future, we are sure. AIartha Jeanette Mitcheli. Martie” Class Faithful “Sincerity’s my chief delight.” An “Old Faithful in performance of duty but a “Young Faithful’’ In years is AIartha, the best class play prompter Morton Stevens ever had. He says she deserves a crown, and there’s not one of us who does not agree. Did you ever see her straighten out the heavy traffic outside Room 36 when all the young hopefuls are madly rushing in for their daily dose of English. She has a “heavenly twin and not often are these two separated. It’s not so hard to tell them apart because really their physical features aren’t much alike but when it’s a question of whose coat and hat they’re wearing—oh—there’s a rub! Martha is keenly Interested in sports. Is a member of the orchestra and is ever ready to say, “I’ll try. Sir!’’ 34 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 James Joseph Moran “Jim” Class Soldier “}’oM may relish him more in the soldier than in the scholar.” Here we have Marlboro High’s would-be General—James Moran! We believe this summer marks Jim’s fourth season at C. M. T. C. He recently joined the local company and to see him marching with head up and gun on manly shoulder, no one would suspect him of being the same smiling chap who dashes into Room 37 just before (sometimes just with) the ringing of the tardy bell. We had thought of calling Jim “Class Motorcyclist” but gave that up for “Soldier” because we know everybody loves a uniform! Donaud Charles Morris “Toots” Class Druggist “I saw and loved!” Ahoy! Class pillroller! Toots is one of the class’s wizards who has chosen a position where he may mingle business with pleasure. Lay the stress on pleasure, for Toots delights in serv¬ ing fair maidens at his soda fountain. His infectious smile wins everyone with whom he comes in contact and during the four short years we have known him, we have failed to see him looking grouchy. You may be sure that wherever he goes he will make friends (lady and otherwdse) and keep them. M.ary Lila Murphy “Mary Lou” Class Fiddler “0 grant me, hearer, a middle store. Neither too humble nor too great; More than enough for nature’s ends. With something left to treat my friends.” Alary is perhaps the most reticent maid in a class of chatter¬ boxes. While being wholly unconscious of it, she is more truly facetious, more dryly humorous than any other member of our commercial group. To our knowledge, the only time she has been seen to become vivacious, has been in the company of her in- ' eterate chum and standby—“Fitzie”. It has been bruited abroad that she has unselfishly dedicated her life to the mastery of stenography. W’e do not give this rumor any credence as yet, but—you never can tell! Whatever -Mary’s life work may be we feel It In our bones that she will apply herself to it wdth a high resolve and a commendablllty of purpose. 35 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Edith Louise Nyman “Ted” Class Imp “What is mind? No matter. What is matter? Never mind.” She sits in Room 36, is small of stature, quick of motion, and, unless the exception which proves the rule pops up, is always found with a girl whose name is the same as the helpmate of the Father of his Country—Guess who? Ted is a great girl for sports and she excels in ev ' erything from playing hookey to playing basket-ball. As for whispering, she exceeds the gentle, poetic pines in that. Because of her quiet, dainty manners one would never sus¬ pect Ted of being the mischief-maker, but three times out of four it is her tactics that cause the disturbance; that look of perfect innocence, however, saves her. During the Junior Play she proved a good manager and we hope that she will keep it up throughout her life. Paul Henry Phelps “Pawl” Class Story Teller “And whe7i a lady’s in the case, Yon know all other thmgs give -place.” Paul’s teachers always said that “he could get honors if he would’’, and w ' e’ve learned that the reason he couldn ' t concen¬ trate on his studies was because of the distracting neighbor in Room 35. In spite of the fact that he was all blacked up for the part of a negro servant in “Seventeen” the audience didn’t have to be told who he was. Periodically, we see him wearing a dark scowl but its never long before he’s smiling sublimely once more. A girl? Oh yes—lots of ’em! We don’t have to wonder why he always sits in the second row, the second seat in, during Glee Club; indeed, a stiff neck would be a very disappointing affliction for Paul on Thursday morning. Ever since coming to us from ‘A’ermawnt” a few years ago, Paul has been a hard worker and we know he will succeed. Kenneth Eugene Post “Ken” Class Arrow Collar Man “The ladies call him sweet!” Well! If it isn’t the other “Knickerbocker Twin”! Grant’s Store is doing quite a lot of business, isn’t it? As Father Parcher in Booth Tarkington’s “Seventeen”, the Junior Play, Kenneth was nothing if not paternal,—and so handsome and dignified with his gray hair! Miat a way he has wdth the girls, too. In truth, he’s a sheik when it comes to Proms and card parties and a shark when it comes to Civil Government and Physics. We know he’s going to be favorably heard from in the future. 36 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 John Ray Russo “Daddy” Class Actor “His heart was in his work, and the heart giveth grace unto every art.” What a fine dad Johnnie made as Mr. King” in the Senior Play “Adam and Eva”. And what a fine youngster he must have been in the grades to prompt his former teachers to come to see him perform. knew of his ability as a scholar and as a musician but we were amazed at his histrionic abilities. Who knows what the future holds in store for a genius combining all these qualities. John’s days are filled with music and study and his evenings are taken up too since he learned recently that all “Pearls” do not come from the ocean. John intends to enter Wentworth Institute where he will continue his studies. Julia Rose Savas “fidie” Class Thoughtful “Kind hearts are more thaji coronets.” Julia is a very conservative young woman. Among other laudable qualities, she embodies honesty, unselfishness, and kind¬ liness. In fact, she is one of those rare few who busy themselves with thoughtful deeds for others to the extent of the forgivable neglect of their work. We have a well-grounded idea that Julia will one day blossom forth an “artiste”. We offer in support of this presumption the fact that she can illustrate her class recitations amazingly well by drawing diagrams in the air. But whatever Julia’s forte in life may be, she has our wholehearted best wishes for success. Until then: “Farewell! a word that must be, and hath been— A sound which makes us linger—yet—farewell.” Viola Pearl Smith “Barney Schmit” Class Sweetheart “Her very irowns are fairer far Than smiles of other maidens are.” Let us introduce our Spanish shark. Pearl refrains from arguing during the other periods of the day in order to have e nough material for debate during the Spanish period with “Okie”. Who wins out, we wonder? She keeps in condition for these debates by using “Wrigley. Wrigley, Spearmint Gum”. As you enter Grant’s Syndicate doesn ' t the music just thrill you? Our Pearl is the victrola lassie and she knows what to play, unless It is one of those old-fashioned” songs sometimes requested by a customer. She broke the record playing The Prisoner’s Song”. Winding the instrument has put speed into Pearl ' s fingers and you wouldn’t doubt our statement if you saw how the hooks and cur -es go down in her little Stenography Notebook. Framingham Normal will greet Pearl in the fall. Here are our best wishes, Schmit! 37 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Dorothy Manchester Spinney “Dot” Class Kewpie “It is tranquil -people who accomplish much” Dot” is one of otir quiet girls,—sometimes! Very often you will see her discoursing with her friend, another Dot”, over the toy counter in Woolworth’s. Then you ought to hear her talk and it isn ' t about Civil Government either. Dorothy’s favorite occupation is nurse-maid,—good exercise, you know! Her favorite dissipation is playing hostess at card parties. Don’t get alarmed, girls, it’s all in the family. Dorothy hasn’t decided yet what she will do after graduation, but whatever it may be, our best wishes are hers. Clarence Eugene Stevens “Willy” Class Serenader “The moods of love are like the wind; And none knows whence or why.” Oh Willy! Will-ee! Willy, the moonlight serenader, the knight gallant, was nobly portrayed by Clarence in our Junior Play. And why shouldn’t it be. Doesn’t Clarence Have enough practise romancing off stage as well as on. He has more girl¬ friends than the Y. W. C. A. has members. However, don’t imagine that he has no boy friends for such is not the case; in fact, Clarence is a jolly good chap and a general favorite with both sexes. We know his easy, genial manner will carry him on through life without many mishaps. Eleanor AIae Temple “Peggy” Class Correspondent “I never saw an eye so bright, And yet so soft as hers.” They tell us Eleanor is a girl who believes in being seen and not heard, but is this true during the C. G. period? That some¬ times is a Current Topic Discussion Period for J., B., and El. We wonder whom or what it concerns. And what about those N. H. trips, El? Isn’t Massachusetts large enough? Perhaps, your des¬ tination is just over the border line. Won’t you let us in on the secret? Although her plans for the future are undecided, whatever Eleanor may do or wherever she may go the love of the class is with her. 38 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Howard Gordon Temple ‘ Temple” Class Woman Hater “Never wedding—never woomg.” “Is he really a woman hater?’’ somebody asks—and their informant holds up his hands in despair. But let ' s talk about something pleasant,—Howard’s afternoon work in the Wire Fac¬ tory, for instance. After a year and a half’s apprenticeship he has become so skilled in the art that he can make anything from a potato-masher to a dish drainer, and we look to see him a big wire magnate someday. Howar d is a very quiet boy inside of school but he is a good sport for all that and a pleasant companion. Tuck will vouch for that last statement. We wish him a long and happy life with much success to crown it. Frederick Chandler Tucker “Freddie” Class Humorist “Next to the virtue, the fun in this world is what we can least spare.” A man of sarcastic sayings is Fred Tucker, the Uncle Horace” of our Senior Play. Shall we ever forget his starched hair in that production? He can always appreciate a joke even if it’s on himself and we cite the following incident as proof. When the class pictures w ' ere taken last month the photographer said to Fred, “Chandler, you’re the best looking fellow I’ve taken,”—but —poor Freddie had been the first man up! In his Senior Year Freddie (that’s what the girls call him) developed ambitions to become a track star and has specialized in high jumping and the half mile. Why not try the insurance business, Fred, after all Mr. Stevens’ coaching? We think you were an apt pupil. Gordon- Alexander Wilcox “IFilkie” Class Master-mind ' (Jn their own merit, modest men are dumb.” .■ nyone desiring information about the “who’s who” and what’s what” of airplanes should consult Gordon. Wilkie has led in all his classes. Any subject plus a little study makes it an easy one for him. As business manager of this Class Book, much credit is due to him for the work he has done. He is too modest to ever say much about himself, but we know and thank him here and now! In his short span of years Gordon has acquired considerable knowledge of “army” life for he is a Boy Scout and has attended the Scout Camp in the summer, and plans on going to C. M. T. C. this year. He expects to enter Harvard next fall where we know he will succeed. . 9 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 CLASS SONG OF 1927 Words and Music by Lawrence K. Hayford 1st Stanza — We have journeyed on together During four short happy years, And now we’ve reached the crossroads Where each chooses his career. We have worked and played together— Scarce a cloud has darked the way; We’ve been sheltered here, protected. But today we must away. 2nd Stanza — As we go forth from this haven. Let us face the vast unknown With courage high, undaunted. And a purpose that is strong. A ' lay we keep in mind our motto. Nor be satisfied with ought Till all can say, “I’ll Try Sir!” Whth an echo from the heart. Chorus — Oh guide of our youth. Our parting hour draws nigh. Bind us now in service unto Thee— To Thee, dear Marlborough High. 40 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 41 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 JUNIOR PROM W’e held our Junior Dance on a beautiful moonlight night (on February 12, 1926, to be exact). The place was Pastime Hall and the orchestra, Lewis and Morse from Worces¬ ter. There was an exceptionally large crowd including faculty, school-mates and friends of the class and the receipts were correspondingly gratifying. All were willing to agree that the dance was a great success. Senior Prom Committee Back row: G. Wilcox, J. McCook, R. Lyons. Front row: H. Bruyere, A. Gaucher, S. Kunen, A. Benson, J. Badavas. SENIOR PROM The attendance at the Senior Prom held in Pastime Hall on January 1, 1927, was not so great as that at the Junior Prom, for the mercury hovered about the zero mark and grim Winter stalked the daring reveler. Yet despite the wather there was a fair assembly. The faculty nobly turned out and the light, gay music of Collin’s orchestra dispelled the gloom created by a snow-ladened atmosphere. The doors of the hall closed that night upon a happy and contented crowd, we are sure. 42 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Junior Play Cast Back row: J. McCook, H. Hunter. Middle row: F. Carey, P. Phelps, C. Drake, K. Craig, K. Post. Front row: AI. McMahon, A. Browning, C. Stevens, AL Allen, J. Mine- han, J. Badavas. JUNIOR PLAY On May 20 and 21, 1926, the Class of 1927 presented Booth Tarkington’s “Seventeen” under the direction of Morton L. Stevens. The play is made up of a series of funny incidents in which William Sylvanus Baxter and his wooing of the Baby-Talk Lady figure prominently. There is a dress suit panto¬ mime, a serenade, a Sidney Carton scene, a dancing lesson, a “junk” collection, a humorous little bit featuring Willie’s sister and Airs. Baxter, not to mention many other clever situations. Karl Craig played the role of a stern parent. Air. Baxter. Ed. Parcher, Kenneth Post, was rather intolerant of young people. Joe Bullitt, Harold Hunter, was late for rehear¬ sals but his motto is, “Better late than never”. May Parcher, Josephine Alinehan, was Lola’s hostess. Lola Pratt, Alarion Allen, made a decided hit as leading lady. She and Airs. Baxter, Anna Browning, were rather secretive, but we know they didn’t walk home from rehearsals every night. William Sylvanus Baxter, Clarence Stevens, played the role of leading man. How he could bark—and sing—and write poetry! Ethel Boke, Charlotte Drake, was the Charleston instructress. Johnnie Watson, Joseph AIcCook, has, since the play, become quite a ukelele strummer. Jane Baxter, Margaret IMcMahon, minded every¬ one’s business,—in the play of course. Her costumes were works of art and her “word” scene created an uproar in the audience. Genesis, Paul Phelps, as a negro captivated the audience with his dialect. Alary Brooks, Jennie Badavas, was first assistant to Charlotte as Flopit’s guardian. George Crooper, Fay Carey, rivalled the leading man for Lola—but then gentlemen prefer blondes! 43 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Senior Play Committee Back row: W. Kelleher, M. Cushman, J. Honen, L.

SENIOR PLAY The Class of 1927 presented the play “Adam and Eva” in Assembly Hall, February 17 and 18, 1927, under the direction of Morton L. Stevens. “xA.dam and Eva” is the story of a young man, Adam Smith, who takes over the do¬ mestic responsibilities of James King. Mr. King is tired of being loved and petted because of his check-book so he leaves Smith in charge and goes to South America. The King household consists of Eva, King’s favorite daughter; Julie Dewitt, his married daughter, and her husband, Clinton Dewitt; Horace Pilgrim, his uncle; Abbey Rocker, his late wife’s sister; and Corinthia, his parlor-maid. Eva has many suitors among whom are Dr. Jack Delamater and Lord Andrew Gordon. Adam fakes the story ' of the ruin of Mr. King’s business and steals the family jewels. The family thus obliged to work, start a chicken farm in New Jersey. During the family crisis Dr. Delamater absents himself while Lord Andrew stays with the family and helps them. In the course of time Eva transfers her affections from Andy to Adam Smith but Andy exits gracefully. Aunt Abby Rocker, Anna L. Browning, is a society leader who has no time for domestic affairs. We wonder “who” the reason was for her hurried departure the second night of the performance. 44 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Senior Play Cast Back row: P Carey, J. Russo, L. Hayford, F. Tucker, J. Dolan. Front row; AI. Mc¬ Mahon, A. Browning, S. Kunen, A. Gaucher, H. Bruyere. FTcle Horace Pilgrim, Frederick Tucker, apparently had no notion of time as was seen in his idea of a week end. Fred was absent from one rehearsal because he had such a mania for turning on lights. We wonder where he spent the afternoon. James King, John R. Russo, had such a trying family that his “reflexes” were bad and he had “hemogloboids”. John was rather conversant with one fair member of the com¬ mittee and the friendship is still flourishing. Eva King, Alice E. Gaucher, was leading lady. We hear that the author of those letters which she read at rehearsals came a long way to see our play. Clinton DeWhtt, Fay Carey, was King’s son-in-law. He was quite the adoring husband. Julie DeWitt, Clinton’s wife, played by .Margaret AIcMahon, has now become quite adept in placing pay envelopes in the “bank”. Because of Peg, Hudson was represented at the first performance. Adam Smith, Samuel Kunen, was the leading man who showed the King family how to work. He proved himself a capable painter and we do hope he has not forgotten how to say “tie clips”. Corinthia, Helen A. Bruyere, was the maid who later became a member of the family, l ' rom all reports Helen neither walked home nor rode in the family machine, and the mystery remains unsolved. Dr. Jack Delamater, Jeremiah J. Dolan, was the physician who treated “hemogloboids”. Jerry missed a few rehearsals,—he said he went to basket ball games but — Lord Andrew Gordon, Lawrence K. Hayford, was the Scotchman who was destined to be called “Mctoria”. He didn’t miss a rehearsal and we wonder if our leading lady had ain thing to do with his regular attendance. 45 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Class Night Committee Back row: J. Honen, P. Phelps, J.

PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS Parents, Teachers, Friends: It Is a very pleasant task that is mine tonight as President of the Class of 1927, to wel¬ come you to our Class Night Exercises, our final gathering in the Alarlborough High School. This is an evening for laughter in which we wish you all to join. These smiles, how¬ ever, hide feelings of sadness; but from childhood we have been taught to smile the more when we felt a little blue—that is “playing the game as it should be played”. Some of us will continue our education and postpone for a few years our entrance into the work-a-day world; for others that entrance is immediate. For years we have received freely; now it is our turn to give, and this obligation makes us indeed serious. It was brought to my attention only a short time ago in one of my classes the great Investment that each parent has made in us. The monetary costs to the parents of each one of my class-mates represents thousands of dollars and I would not try to estimate the care, the love and the devotion that they have expended on us. Not as the business man in¬ vests have they Invested—not with the idea that they will receive return dollar for dollar. They do not expect that, but this we can do. We can return in part the money invested in us by material assistance if necessary as the years roll on and they gradually feel the ef¬ fects of a life of effort in our behalf; we can return the love and devotion that we have always received; and some of us in later years as fathers and mothers can do for our child¬ ren as they have done for us. Teachers, we realize that you have played no small part in the building of our lives. You have equipped us not only with information gleaned from our text books, “the tools of education”, but you have been an Important factor in shaping our characters during the most impressionable years. May we justify your faith in us. Whether or not we shall accomplish all that is expected of us, time will tell. For my classmates I give you our simple pledge, “I’ll try. Sir!” 46 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 CLASS NIGHT PROGRAM March: Salute to the Colors High School Orchestra President Address Jeremiah Dolan jVn Adventure in the Land of AIake-believe Eva Baldacci Minerva Drake Alarguerite Marshall William Downey Joseph Evans William Kelleher John Russo Frederick Tucker Crosby Vocal Solo: The Pirate King jMinerva Drake Arthur Sullivan Specialty Dance Bessie Baker, Alice Hart, Cynthia Hastings, Harold Hunter, Joseph AIcCook, Kenneth Post Songs: All the Garden Fair Old Melody A Night in June Targette Minerva Drake, Marion Cushman, Velma Farley, Charlotte Drake, Lawrence Hayford, Gordon Yhlcox, Karl Craig, Harold Hunter Poem : Commencement Charlotte Drake Violin Solo: Hejre Kati, Hungarian Dance Hubay Lawrence K.

THE RECEPTION Everybody looks forward to the annual Senior Reception, for then it is that sixteen and sixty mingle together in the dance. This year the scene will be laid at Lyonhurst, the spacious ballroom overlooking Alarlborough’s Lake Williams. The date has been set for July first and the music will be furnished by Newell’s Orchestra. At nine o’clock, just following the reception to the Seniors, the Grand March will form to be reviewed by the parents, faculty and other friends. The Class wishes to acknowledge here the kindness of Airs. Bertha Burke Galvin who has given her time so generously to the preparation not only of the Alarch but of the dances on Class Night—1927 counts her as one of its friends. General dancing follows the Grand Alarch and it is safe to predict a pleasant evening for all who attend this, the last school activity of old ’27. 49 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Back row: E. Temple, D.

PICTURE COMMITTEE Ordinarily the work of the Picture Committee would call for little comment, but the method of taking the pictures followed by the Studio we selected was so novel that a few words seem appropriate. kor years the members of the Senior Class have journeyed individually to the photo¬ grapher’s but this year the photographer came to us. A contract was signed with the Arlington Studio of Boston under the terms of which their artist was to come to the school to photograph the members of the Class individually and to take fifteen group pictures of school and class organizations for the Year Book. On May second Mr. Britton, sales representative, and Mr. George, artist, came to the school and set up their studio in Room 69. The entire first day and the morning of the second were devoted to taking the pictures of the members of the class. On the afternoon of the second day the groups were taken in the gymnasium, 130 pupils appearing in them, d he entire procedure was unusual but the schedule made out prior to their coming worked well and there was a minimum of confusion. The pictures have been exceptionally satisfactory and the opportunity afforded to ob¬ tain pictures of the various groups has made possible the rather ambitious Year Book we have published this year.

Newell, our new physical director of the public schools and coach of the Alarlborough High School athletic teams. Air. Newell was graduated from Little Rock College in the Class of 1925, engaging in all of the major sports while attending that school. Dur ing the school year of 1925-1926 he was physical director of the Holliston public schools and played football and baseball with the Tiger A. C. of this city. Fifty candidates responded to this call but after two weeks of hard practice the squad was cut to twenty-five, these men remaining for the rest of the season. The first team consisted of YTite, left end; Colena, left tackle; V. Francis, left guard; Killis, center; Lof- tus, right guard; Craig, right tackle; Hunter, right end; Evans, quarter; Kelle} ' , left half¬ back; Richer, fullback; Dolan, right halfback. A schedule of nine games had been arranged by manager Lyons. The season opened on September 25th with Concord High School at Concord and during the season the follow¬ ing teams were defeated: Ashland 34-19, A ' laynard 30-0, Westboro 25-0; tie games were played with Hopkinton, Alilford, and Fitchburg second team; and games were lost to Con¬ cord 8-0, Wellesley 30-0, and Hudson 13-0. The annual Thanksgiving game with Hudson decided the championship of the Alidland League. Alarlboro had won two league games and tied one; Hudson had won two games and lost one thus giving Alarlboro a half point lead. This game was played at Prospect- Park before a crowd of 3500. Alarlboro lost by a score of 13-0 but a comparison of first downs and yardage gained showed that the Alarlborough High School team played superior ball, losing the game only through fumbles clue to the slippery condition of the field. Although the team loses through graduation Craig (Capt.), Colena, Dolan, Hunter, and E -ans, coach Newell will have an excellent squad of veteran players with which to com¬ mence next season. We hope that they may defeat Hudson and return the Alidland League Pennant to the Alarlborough High School, which has not held it since 1914. 5.3 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 54 Back row: Air.

The call for candidates was issued on December 1st and thirty very enthusiastic boys reported to Air. Newell. It is rather questionable whether Mr. Newell felt as enthus¬ iastic, for with the exception of a half dozen, none of the candidates had ever handled a basketball. A month was spent in drilling the squad in the rudiments of the game and at the end of this period the first team was selected consisting of Craig, center; Colena (Capt.), left forward; Kelley, right forward; Giard, left guard; Richer, right guard; sub center Killis; sub forwards. Granger and lamartino; and sub guard, J. Francis. The season opened on January 1-lth and continued to Alarch 16th, Marlborough win¬ ning thirty-five percent of the games played. Considering the fact that all games were played against teams which were composed of ' eteran players the result was very satis¬ factory.

Front row: Dolan, Colena, Craig (Capt.), Swartz, Murphy, Giard, Renaud. 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 BASEBALL Captain Craig issued the call for candidates for the baseball team on March 28 and forty candidates reported to Air. Newell for indoor practice In the gymnasium. In this group were the veterans Captain Craig, Dolan, Evans, Colena, and Glard, and many Fresh¬ men of unusual promise. By the opening of the season on April 14 the squad was cut to the regular team con¬ sisting of Pitchers Swartz, Alurphy, and Kelly; Catcher, Craig; First base, Glard; Second base, A all; Short stop, Renaud; Third base, Evans; Left field, Dolan; Center field, Bedard; Right field, Colena; Substitute infielders, Dacier and Klllis; Substitute outfielder, Trolla; Manager, Richer. At the time the year book went to press the team had won 7 and lost 5 games by the following scores: .April 14 Alarlborough 16 Alumni 5 April 16 Alarlborough 23 Ashland 10 April 19 Alarlborough 4 Hudson 5 April 23 Alarlborough 10 Hopkinton 2 April 27 Alarlborough a Framingham 0 April 30 Alarlborough 1 Alaynard 9 A lay 7 Alarlborough 10 Webster 9 A lay 11 Alarlborough 1 Westboro 0 A lay 14 Alarlborough 1 Alilford 8 A lay 21 Alarlborough 6 Westboro 4 A lay 25 Alarlborough 8 Framingham 9 Alay 30 Alarlborough 3 Hudson 4 There still remain on the schedule five games with the following teams: June 4 Marlborough at Alilford June 8 Alarlborough at Webster June 11 Alarlborough at Hopkinton June 15 Alarlborough at Ashland June 18 Alarlborough at Alaynard The result of these games should increase the percentage of victories. The School will feel the loss of Captain Craig, catcher for three years and leading batter of the team this season; Joe Evans, who has been playing excellent ball since he was a Freshman; Jerry Dolan, who has cut off many runs by exceptional catches; and Alec Colena, who has been a member of the team for two years. However, Coach Newell should be consoled by the fact that he has several members left for next year who have started playing the game early in their school career. The possibilities of winning the Alidland League Pennant are nil but a glance at the scores will show that the boys have lost their games by slight margins, and the student body is proud of their team. 57 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Back row: W.

Captain Lyons called the candidates together April 1, for their formal practice on the new cinder track at Artemas Ward Park. The members of the team and the events they compete in are as follows: 100 yd. Dash—Captain R. Lyons, W. Hanson, and R. Brown. 220 yd. Dash—Captain Lyons, W. Hanson, and R. Brown. 440 yd. Dash—F.

Manager Frederick Tucker had arranged a schedule of five meets but adherence to this schedule has been interfered with by very poor weather. At the time of writing the team has won a meet with Framingham High School by a score of 50 to 27 and has placed fourth in the sectional meet held at Worcester Academy on May 28. The following meets yet remain on the schedule: June 3—Hopedale at Marlboro. June 9 — Lexington at Lexington. 58 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Back row: ]M. Sheridan, N. Gibby, AI. Donovan, Adiss C.

GIRLS’ BASKET BALL TEAAd ery little opportunity has been afforded the girls of this school in the past to engage in athletics and the opening of the gymnasium was looked forward to with much enthu¬ siasm. At last a basket ball team appeared to be a possibility but, since there is no physical director for the girls and Adr. Newell was busy with the boys, the movement was rather slow in getting under way. ■A challenge from Hudson High School awakened the girls to action and they were fortunate to secure Aliss Crotty as a coach. Thirty-five candidates responded and from this number a squad of sixteen was selected to practice twice a week. Two games were played with Hudson. The team consisted of Adargaret Seeley, center; Bett} ' Stone, Elsie Dorsay; center guards; Jessie hhsher, Adarion Whittemore, left forwards; Betty Craig, right forward; Edith Nyman, left guard; Alartha Alitchell, right guard. The Hudson team, which has been organized several years, possessed too extensive a knowledge of the game for our girls to expect to win, but due to the very good defensive work of the entire team and Betty Craig’s perfect shots the scores were 40 to 11 and 44 to 11. A beginning has been made and only two girls, Edith Nyman and Alartha Alitchell will be lost to the team. Prospects for next season seem bright with the spirit of team play now a part of the girls and the rudiments of the games mastered by enough to form a • earn. d ' he Class of 1927 wishes success to future girls’ basket ball teams. 59 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 60 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 ORCHESTRA AND GLEE CLUB One of the most important organizations in the school, one which gives pleasure to others as well as valuable training to its members, is the Orchestra. This orchestra is composed of Marion Allen, Piano; Lawrence Hayford, James Aloran, William Hanley, Samuel Kunen, George Carroll, First Violins; Vlartha Alitchell, Dorothy Sellar, Isadore Holland, Second Violins; Alary Gion, Cello; Elton Howe, Clarinet; Fay Carey, Saxaphone; Harold Hunter, Raymond WTrner, First Cornets; Gordon Wilcox, Second Cornet; Carl Bickford, Walter Wilcox, Trombones; Frank Felton, Bass Horn; John Russo, Fred Lusignan, Drums. The student bod} ' has enjoyed its orchestra e ' er} ' Friday during the music period and at all school assemblies. Several times during the year the Orchestra has made public appearances before the Woman’s Club, Newman Club, Night School, Rotary Club and the Class Pla} ' s. The climax of the year’s activities was the concert given b} ' the combined Orchestra and Glee Club. This event took place on Frida} ' , Alay 6, during Alusic W ' Tek. The Glee Club is made up of all the members of ti.e Senior Class, who have rehearsed each Thursday morning. So successful has been the Orchestra and Glee Club Concert for the past few } ' ears that it has come to be an annual event. Both Orchestra and Glee Club fall under the care of Air. Joseph A. Alillington, director of music, and the success of these organizations is due in no small measure to his instruc¬ tion and live!} ' interest. 61 1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The members of the Editorial Staff wish to thank the Advertisers who made the publication of the Year Book possible.
