Marion Zandi CLASS COLORS Yale Blue and Silver CLASS MOTTO Ad astra per aspera - To the stars through difficulties CLASS FLOWER Yellow Rose History of the Class of 1934 THAT demon, circumstance, was a prime factor in our struggles toward Commencement Day. Most of us en- tered this world during 1915 or '16 at a time when there raged a war which doubtless eclipsed, to some extent, the importance of the various blessed events. Simple arithmetic, therefore, will show that we began our four-year war to banish Ignorance in 1930 when shekels were scarce and ways of get- ting them scarcer. Energetic Freshmen that we were however, we proceeded to show the town, fand the worldl, that there was still money lying around for those who had the eyes to see it, by successfully engineering two dances, one at the Plymouth Country Club, the other at Memorial Hall. During this school year one of our number, Shirley Dut- ton, wrote the school song which has been used ever since. It was at this time that we had the misfortune to lose one of our classmates, Edward White, who, after a brave fight, fell victim to infantile paralysis. Sophomores! A word which might dampen the ardor of many a second- year man. Yet when lack of funds threatened discontinuance of THE PIL- GRIM, it was the Sophomers who took the honors in getting advertising to meet expenses. The prize-winners were Ruth Buttner, Jeannette Martin, Shirley Dutton, and Gilbert Andrews. In our Junior year many events took place in which we had an active inter- est. Our Junior Prom was a definite social success, while another Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, The Pirates of Penzance, was presented with many Juniors in the cast. It is interesting to note at this time that, since THE PILGRIM had become a Senior year book, two ambitious Juniors, Carlo Guidoboni and Robert Martin, produced several lively issues of a magazine called THE JUNIOR PILGRIM. Our last year at P. H. S. saw a galaxy of Senior stars in the major sports, football and basketball. An inspiring Christmas play, The Cathedral Clock, was produced entirely by Seniors and proved to be one of the best dra- matic presentations of the year. A crowning social success, if not a finan- cial one, was the Senior Dance, man- aged by an able committee. To climax our Senior achievements we produced a one-act play, The Trysting Place, followed by a dance. This enterprise, unlike some of our former endeavors, was financially, as well as socially, suc- cessful. It was, therefore, with a feeling of regret mingled with a sense of ac- complishment that we passed on to our final great project-Graduation. GEORGE FARNELL '34 Lg L, L, ,, 4
