1933 193 3 we little realized that our ]Mr. Mack was not to return. We sure y miss his lively jokes which made our Tuesday and Friday as- semblies so popular with all. ■ ' Believe it or not IMarch came in, in September of our Junior year and Spring cleaning has been going on ever since. Gramp now has a snap. Roy Keith went out for football this year and Mr. MacGown had to have a helmet made to order. The Girls ' League was formed by Mr. March and it has accomplished about as much as the League of Nations. Let me give you the facts, when the Commun- ists raised the red flag in the form of red neckties and hair ribbons, one growl from the Big Bear in room 15 turned them all to Pacifists. The M Club was also organized by Mr. March for the purpose of fostering athletics in the school. The Junior Prom, April 15, 1932 was the event of the season. The Alhambra Trouba- dours furnished music for the dancing. Favors of caps and noise makers helped to make the party a great success. The Junior ' s Farewell Dance to the Seniors was an especially effective affair. The dance orders, in the form of a Pent House Ser- enade, were masterpieces. Bernard Eld- ridge made at least two hundred of them. Tag dancing was very popular; and woe be- tide the one who received the broom. September, 1932 we began our Senior year and what a year! The football team— nuf sed. The President of the Girls ' League, Arleen Egger, even threw our handsome captain for a loss. Our Senior Play took place in December. Arleen Egger was Babs and as Arleen has been a leading lady from the first grade up. it did not require much coaching to make her our star. But we needed a loud speaker in tlie wings to prompt Fred Eldridge. The Senior Social was held February 17 and due to lack of funds we cou l not afford decorations but Mrs. Brawn paid the sixty- five cents and the socia ' was a great success. Cupid again winged a dart and pierced the heart of Mrs. Culhane. Mr. Battis is now a member of the Faculty. Though he occupies a position in the loft, he is an authority on diamonds. It is a wonder Mrs. Brawn hasn ' t eaUed him a Communist and tried to decapi- tate him because of his red hair. Mr. MacGown has resigned as coach and the boys of Middleboro High sincerely miss him. However, he has been an example to us all as a truly fine coach and sportsman, instilling into our minds fair play and the ability to take victory or defeat with a smile. His influence is felt today in all the athletics of the towns, for wherever a Middleboro team plays it has a reputation for clean and fair playing. Tlie credit for this goes to Mr. MacGown. This historj cannot have an appendix as George Nolan lost his this winter. You all must know that there would not be history without Bakers to feed us. Braddock ' s defeat has become a victory for Sir Walter is at her feet. We have a Bowman whose darts have pierced the heart of another famous Willard. The class of ' 33 knows that it takes a Thomas to teach history and surely Myron and Florence will make it. Where would we be without Anderson ' s fairy tales to east a Merri- hew over our childhood days? Speaking of childhood days what would have become of Red Riding Hood if besides ' ' DeWolf e ' ' there had been DeBoer ? With such celebrities in our class we have just reason for our Bump of knowledge. Let us at the close of Court today give three rousing cheers for our Faculty. They liave ■4 22 l!=-

19 3 3 MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL 193 3 The Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1 933 By Ruth A. Mosher I, an agent of the Class of 1933, being of as sound mind as are my colleagues, must needs prove this to you by drawing up our last will and testament : I. To the Freshman Class we bequeath our profound knowledge such as was seen in the shining examples of Luther H. Sargent, Wil- lard P. Rand, Lorena B. Braddock and hist but not least, Charles A. Lee. May the re- flected light from these notables shine on your path and illumine your way. II. To the Sophomores we leave our bril- liant reputation which has endeared us to the hearts of our teachers. Think back upon the exemplary school lives of Walter E. Berry, Florence A. Thomas, Francis Malaguti, and Chester F. Rogers. III. To the Junior Class we leave Rooms 15, 25 and C2 in shining and unpolluted con- dition. We leave them gumless and scratch- less. Listen to the words of wisdom given out by your teachers, and if you don ' t like the sound of the bell don ' t pull the rope! To our teachers we give our sincere and heartfelt thanks for all you have done for us. To continue with intangible bequests we would that we might leave the larger extremi- ties of Frederick Eldridge to Richard Rock- wood in order that said Rockwood may have more balance. He needs it. To Dorothea Collins we donate some of the surplus avoirdupois of Miriam Powell. Also, if she could emulate some of said Miriam ' s sweet and co-operative mannei ' s, it wouVI be to great advantage of the afore-mentioned blonde lady. To those nature lovers, Thomas McFarlin and Norman Egger, we .suggest this inter- change : Namely, to bequeath to said Norman the Farmer Walk of McFarlin. We bequeath the noble physique of Edward Rondelli to Johnny Neilson in order that said John may rise up and call iis blessed. To the rose that is born to blush unseen , namely, Molly Banus, we leave tho.se charm- ing oft seen natural blushes of one Leo Curley. To William Kinsman we leave the melliflu- ous, resonant voice of Albert Lavalley, in order that William may become known as a future Lawrence Tibb ets. The superior scholarship of Arleen Egger we bequeath without comment to all less bril- liant. The Chesterfieldian charm and perfect man- ners of James DeWolf, we donate to Fred- erick Bigelow. The womanly sweetness of Laura Holmes, we leave to Helen Erickson. The quiet reserved manners of Bernice Per- kins we will to one Elsie Carlson. The efficiency of Gerard deBoer and Oscar April in moving pianos we delegate to one Edgar Wilber who can do it all alone with one finger. The winning way of Edgar Paun with the fair sex we leave to one Alexander Barta. The up and coming, bumptious manner of Ivan Stuart we donate to bashful Austin Adams in order to equalize their personalities. Frederick Shaw ' s excess height and weight is willed to Robert Howes. To Otto Rorscharch we leave the Clark Gable profile of the one Lawrence Westgate. Roy Keith ' s collegiate ways we delegate to Norman Shaw. The serious mindedness of Bernard E ' d- ridge and his supreme dignity we will to ■4 24
