• SAUGUS HIGH SCHOOL SAUGUS MASSACHUSETTS Published by the SENIOR CLASS THE TONTOQUONIAN SAUGUS HuiiLiU LIBRARY 29o CEftirtAL STREET SAUGUS, MA 01906 DOES NOT CIRCULATE FOREWORD T OQN, we shall be searching our memories for something real which will help us to recall our High School days. If this book serves as a stepping stone when we try to wander back, in thought, through the wilderness of forgetfulness and passing years, it will have fulfilled its highest purpose. SAUGUS HIGH SCHOOL H D D OUR CLASS DEDICATES THIS BOOK T I O a gentleman who has been not only an advisor, but an untiring worker and an invaluable friend. The class of ' 37 has been privileged in having the guidance of such a person. To Mr. Young — need we say more? I C A T I C N •irSkia EXECUTIVE STAFF THE FACULTY SENIORS CLASS OFFICERS OF 1937 Robert Allan General Rubber ' s excess of class spirit and willingness to work more than balance his lack of size. He is quite satisfied with everything except study. No doubt he ' ll change his views at the G. E. Apprentice School. Ernest Allen General Senior Play, Dramatic Club Genial Ernie may always be found helping to prepare some dramatic masterpiece. His future is hazy, but the bright lights of the General Electric seem attractive. Here ' s hoping your name is in them some day, Ernie. Arthur Andersen Scientific Year Book Staff Presenting one of our best students and woman haters. In spite of his titles, Andy is a great fellow. We ' re sure he ' ll be as brilliant at Northeastern as he has been at Saugus. Beatrice Anderson General Focus, Band This lady with light hair and gray eyes is an extra- ordinary newshound and basketball player. Bea hasn ' t selected her alma mater, but we ' ll bet she ' ll supply it with plenty of pep. c ommerci al Margaret Andrew Sahico, Traffic Squad Peggy is one of our most versatile seniors, but when that unaccountable weakness for giggling appears, oh my! She ' ll make some business man a competent, attrac- tive secretary. Barbara Anthony General Senior Play, Girl ' s Club Cabinet Here is one of our most popular and peppy seniors. Barb also proved to be a very fine actress, much to Ferland ' s discomfort. After B rb graduates, there wi II b e a definite upgrade in the secretarial business. Betty Anthony General Betty is the blond baby of our class. She has made count- less friends because of her grand personality. And she has a definite monopoly on Red. Pearl Arredondo General Pearl is very quiet in school, in fact, sometimes we hardly know she is there. However, her perseverance and brain power have been appreciated by teachers and classmates alike. G eneral Kenneth Babb Year Book, Traffic Squad Suave Ken is our orator. He is an energetic worker, especially in Chemistry. He will lend his talent in the future to interior designing. c ommercial Virginia Babb Focus, Sahico Ginny is shy and demure, and has been a worthy friend to many of her classmates. Her experience on the Focus and her attractive personality should make her a good librarian. 10 Elsie Bardh Sahico c ommercial Because of her quick wit, Elsie is never at a loss for a comeback. Always ready for a good time, she does her part to have one. She wants to attend Burdett. Norman Bean General Traffic Squad Beanie is a lover of nature — and, incidentally of the fair sex! How he could keep the girls of the study hall in line. Mass. State is Beanie ' s future college. Irene Beckett Commercial Sahico Irene is probably the most lady-like member of the Com- mercial Course. She ' s intensely interested in picture tinting, and is quite an expert at it. That ' s her future! Marion Belonga General Focus, Dramatic Club, Treasurer 3 Marion is one of our most active and best-known class- mates who is always ready to help the class. Nasson will be the lucky college. Ready, all you Maine boys? Edith Bent General Only a few people are lucky enough to really know Edith, but she is said to have a very good friend in East Saugus. A dental school will start her career with a push (or pull). mb.- Jt 11 r %  ■ wv + Charles Bethel General Charlie is like a well oiled cog in a machine. He doesn ' t make much noise, but helps the class to keep functioning. We wish him luck at Boston Trade School. Marjorie Biddlecombe General Cheer Leader, Girl ' s Club Cabinet Margy is one of our best cheer leaders — and blushers — especially in history! She has been very popular in school, and we wish her the best of luck wherever she continues her education. Marjorie Blatchford Commercial Sahico A quiet girl who, nevertheless, often amuses us with her wit. What would the Sahico Club have done with- out the transportation she provided? Marjorie ' s ambi- tion is to be a private-secretary. Irene Borys College Irene is one of those rare girls who took the college course but who will enter the commercial world. With her unassuming charm, her future looks bright. Maurice Bowers Scientific Monie is a mild-mannered, witty chap who plans to work at the General Electric, and possibly attend the Hemphill Deisel School. Good luck, Monie! 12 James Bowker General If silence is golden, Jimmy must have attributes in common with King Midas; and yet again, Still waters run deep. Good luck, Rubinoff! Lillian Brostrom Commercial Sahico Lil is one of our lovely blondes with that certain something called personality. We are confident that she will be an asset to any business. Anna Brown General Anna has a position and also a crush in Maiden. This lovely, likeable miss plans, she says, to do anything but business work! Time will tell, Anna. Francis Bruce Scientific Frank gets in the collectiv e hair of the faculty, but always emerges with good marks at the end of each term. He is still undecided about his college but his future will be as bright as his witty remarks. Alexander Buckless A coming electrical engineer! undecided as to what school he had a humble start too, Alec. General Alec, however, is will attend. Marconi Best of luck: 13 Phyllis Burseil Commercial Sahico Phyllis seems to have a perpetual, pleasant, smile for everyone as she goes from room to room in school. Next autumn she will be enrolled in an art school. Claire Carter Commercial Sahico Red-headed and good natured describes Claire. Ap- pearing to be quiet, she often proves just the opposite. Her ambition is to become an expert typist. Anna Carton General Anna may be an undertaker ' s daughter, but no-one can deny that she is a very cheerful person. Her industrious nature will soon be rewarded by a place in the business world. ege Anna Chalitco Col Junior Riverside, Year Book, Dramatic Club An artist with no temperament. That ' s Anna. Her talent and initiative will be welcomed next fall at Mass. Art School. Did someone mention Rembrandt? Evelyn Chapman General Quietness is Evelyn ' s outstanding characteristic. She is a guitarist of note. Possibly this is an indication of her future. The class of ' 37 wishes you luck, Evelyn. 14 Edith Chase C Junior Riverside, Year Book Edith is our cafeteria cashier and is also an assistan librarian. Such a combination of brains, personality as she possesses should make a Teacher ' s College. ollege ability and hit at Salem Henry Clayton General Henry has such diversified interests as raising chickens and building radios. His quietness about school is not a good barometer by which to judge the ambition he ' ll take to National Radio Institute next fall. Lawrence Conrad General Football 2, 3, 4 President 3 Bounce is called Lawrence sometimes, in case you didn ' t know. He certainly was an addition to the foot- ball team — about 185 pounds of fight and sportsmanship. The team and the school won ' t have another like him for many years. Charles Cooke Scientific Traffic Squad, Year Book Charlie ' ' is an excellent example of brains surrounded by genial energy. His quiet friendly manner is some- thing to envy. Northeastern will be the next stop for Cookie. Virginia Cook General Cheerleader, Secretary 3, 4, Girl ' s Club Cabinet Popularity is Gin ' s middle name, but Harold ' s monopoly has the High School boys discouraged. Our permanent class secretary will study social service next autumn. 15 Ralph Crozier General Ralph is the dark, curly-haired chap who always seemed to enjoy the old pre-recess periods immensely. He in- tends to take the world by the ears and shake down a job. G eneral Robert Cunningham Vice President, 4 P. M. makes the most of his recess periods with his fair classmates. This jovial merger of brain and brawn has many college catalogues, but is looking for a school with a long lunch period! Edith Curtis College Edith wishes that the high school would sponsor a girls basketball team. She would, no doubt, prove as efficient and popular on one as she has been on the cafeteria force and in the class room. dlf ill - ' enera Eleanor Davis G Junior Riverside, Sahico, Year Book A balance of good nature and iniative characterizes Eleanor. She will demonstrate her proficiency in typing, shorthand, etc. at Burdett next year. Here ' s to your success , El eanor Pat ricia Devine General Pat has a genial disposition and a fondness for sports — football to watch and skating to perform. Whether school or work beckons, Pat will take advantage of all opportunities. 16 Albert Dineen General Al is a sports lover and a good sport. Bowling is tops with Al, and his skill on the diamond is outstanding. Al ' s future is indefinite but bright. John Donnelly College Dramatic Club, Football, 4 It ' s only been two years since John joined our class, but his personality has made up for lost time. This polished orator will enter De Pauw next year to study law. Frances Down General Student Council Fran is the possessor of a unique quiet charm which wins friends. Her desire to make others as neat as her- self has been manifested in a desire to become a hair- dresser. See you in Hollywood! C Vernon Evans Vern is another class. Who can forget the Evans-MacDougal vocal (?) selections? Next year Vern will enter Norwich. General late, but welcome, addition to our Barbara Fairchild General Junior Riverside, Senior Barbara has a shy smile, but you can ' t always judge a book by its cover. Right Pint? Next fall we ' ll lose Barbara to Chandler Secretarial School. 17 Mary Falzarano Mary is the brunette with the ever-pres ent smile. As yet she hasn ' t decided whether to be a dietician or secretary. One never knows, according to Mr. Chadsey. Harold Ferland General Cheer Leader, Senior Play,. Dramatic Club, Traffic Squad, Student Council Oh, Willee-ee! But the Senior Play was only one of Buds many activities. Bud is such a busy fellow that there isn ' t space enough here to say more than, Good luck, wherever you go. Gen eral Llewellyn Fiske Senior Play, Football 3, 4 Curly-haired, good-natured Lew has been a big help to Mr. Leahy on the gridiron, and to Mr. Chadsey in the laboratory. Hope you make first string at college, Fiskie. Helen Flanders General Helen is seen but seldom heard, although her innumer- able favors for everyone speak louder than words. She knows a lot about the Diner business, but is on th e fence about the future. Howard Fogg General Here is one of the classes ' prominent woman haters! Tis said bicycling and an inexhaustible amount of energy explain it. He typifies the maxim, Silence is Golden. More speed, Howard! 18 Julia Folan Commercial Sahico Julia will make life a song to the tune of a typewriter. Her unexpected laughter has broken the monotony of many classes, as it probably will next year at secretarial school. Esther Foster General This charming blond is definitely preferred by a gentle- nan from Wenfworth Institute. Esther has plenty of fight and brains on the basketball court and in the classroom. It looks like Nasson College next fall. Victor Frappier General Victor is a hard working fellow who doesn ' t talk much about himself. He has a secret (until now) desire to enter the aircraft division of Uncle Sam ' s navy. Going up! a 0k Robert Gabry General Dramatic Club Building model airplanes and mixing chemical solutions are two of Robert ' s hobbies, but airplanes seem to be higher just now, as a flying school is his September destination. George Gibbs Year Book George is the Goliath of ' 37. being one of the best in the plans to attend Herrick ' s Civil G eneral He ' s expert at bowling, high school league. He Service School. 19 Ralph Gibbs General Dramatic Club Our faithful and efficient stage manager, Gibbsie, ' seems to have recently changed his views on the art of woman-hating. He tells us his future is a toss-up between dramatics and accounting but he ' s sure to win. William Gillespie General Dramatic Club, Senior Play Billy the man about town of the Senior Class, makes a splendid villian! We ' re certain his popularity will con- tinue at his undecided (as yet) alma mater. Russell Gould General Senior Play, Traffic Squad Russell has won fame as a poultry judge and an actor, however, he enjoys the former much more. Need we wish him success at Stockbridge? Ruth Gustafson General Ruth is 50% of the corporation of Ingemanson and Gustaf- son. We can ' t find out who the certain gentleman is who prefers this blonde, but we admire his taste. Winifred Hamilton Commercial Sahico, Junior Riverside, Year Book, Focus Winnie is an active girl who can look very quiet and yet be a genuine funmaker. She wants to be a secretary — but her employer will have to be wealthy. 20 Charles Hammond General Charlie is always ready to swap wise-cracks with anyone; especially all the traffic officers. He is one of our few southpaws, but he ' ll no doubt be someone s right-hand man. John Hatch General Year Book John is the artist of our class and could always be counted on for a poster or drawing. We ' ll all attend your first exhibition at art school, Hatchie. Mildred Hatch Commercial Sahico, Junior Riverside, Year Book, Focus, Girl ' s Club Cabinet The Year Book staff can testify to the fact that Mildred is the best and most cheerful of workers. She has a smile worth waiting for, and a future as promising as her personality. Arthur Hooper General Dramatic Club, Traffic Squad, Cheer Leader, Basketball Up and up and up, and at the top, that flaming red hair. Red was quite a doctor — remember the first social? — basketball player, and bowler. Look out, Kent ' s Hill. Frank Humphries General This tall, dark and handsome fellow may be in the dark, as an usher at the State, but he is quite certain about studying architecture. That ' s the spirit, Frank. A IS? % •r • H $ f Wk m 21 Paul Huggins General Bud is a great jokester. He likes all the sports too. If Saugus had a hockey team, he would be one of its stars,- in fact, hockey is almost as popular as Flora with Hug. Robert Husson General Bob is a modest fellow — except when it comes to Belmont — then he can talk plenty. We wonder if he ' ll ride to the G. E. Apprentice School in a rumble seat? Ernest Hynes General Ernie ' s natural quietness seems to disappear when he enters History class. If we were to prophecy his future by this indicator, we ' d say — Senator Hynes. Anna Ingemanson General Whenever the traffic officers saw Anna coming they looked the other way, because she was quite a talker, and no one wants to say Quiet to such an attractive person. Rebecca Jaquith General Betty always knows all the news, and everyone knows Betty . Her discussions with Mr. McCullough will be remembered forever. In the future she ' ll be found taking temperatures or holding hands. 22 Marjorie Johnson College Orchestra, Dramatic Club, Senior Play Will we ever forget Johnnie as Lola? Next year the assemblies will sadly miss her piano playing, as this attractive musician will be at the B. U. Conservatory of Music. « Robert Johnson Scientific Dramatic Club Bob is a philosophical sort of chap. His quietness seems attractive to many of the fairer sex — or is it his dramatic ability? We ' ll be seeing you at Northeastern. Edna Karpicz General When Edna was appointed to a committee, everyone was certain it ' s work would be conducted efficiently. She thinks her talents are best suited to nursing — and so do we. Teresa Keough General Senior Play, Year Book Trevy is very attractive, and very quiet at Saugus. We hear that she is more vivacious at Lynn Classical. This talented miss will be in college a year hence. S 1 ollege William Kramer C Dramatic Club Bill is well known as a piano player and actor. His posture indicates an army man, but Bill says it will be Harvard Medical. Hiya, doc! 23 I • Doris Lallier General Sahico Club Although ' Dolly graduates from the General Course, she has taken commercial subjects which will fit her for the business world. She comes from Lynnhurst, so she ' s bound to find a spot. Jean Lennox General One of Jean ' s many qualifications is her well known sense of humor. She is always prepared in class-room however, taking her work seriously. Perhaps she ' ll follow in her sister ' s footsteps. c ommercial Adelle Lomski Sahico Adelle is a girl who, seemingly, takes life and studies very seriously. Her thorough efficiency will be appreci- ated by some enterprising employer. Bernard Lowe General Barney came to us from Charlestown High School. He is a fellow who concentrates most of his noise making during study periods. We hope you realize all your ambitions, Barney. Samuel Ludwig General Sam rates as one of our liveliest fellows. Rough and ready, always prepared for fight or fun, he ' ll plunge right into work after school. 24 Dorothy Lydon College Dramatic Club Dot has been the life saver of the dramatic club. Al- ways ready to do anything from publicity to properties, she deserves every success at B. U. £$k o v.. John MacDougal General Baseball 2, 3, Football 2, 3, Focus Presenting the loquacious, audacious, one-and-only Jack! Our class wouldn ' t be the same without his literary, athletic, vocal and dramatic efforts. Good luck can ' t skip Jack, cause he wont let it. Paul MacDuffee General Dramatic Club Paul attends school in spasms, but when he ' s there, there is usually plenty of class discussions and laughter. Will he deliver the goods at Harvard as he has at Walkey ' s? Bessie Mason General Talkative, vivacious Bessie supplies plenty of current as the class ' s live wire. She has a passion for open roadsters and class presidents. We wonder if the roadster will make Chandler ' s next fall? Margaret McCarthy Commercial Sahico Her Irish wit is well-known among her close associates. Maybe she ' ll find a use for it when she becomes a re- porter. Have we a female Winchell? 25 nm Edward McKenna General Red is our right-hand man-about-school, always ready and able to help out with lights and things. Many thanks, Red. How ' s the lighting system at North- eastern ' ? Mary McLaughlin Commercial Sahico Mary can supply a snappy comeback in any situation. With the Commercial Course behind her, plenty of brains with her, and a promising future ahead — need we say more? James McLernon General Basketball, Baseball Jim distinguished himself on the basketball court and baseball diamond. He was also quite a vocalist, and should be on the radio soon. Best of luck, Jim! Edward McNulty General Edward is neither too quiet or too noisy. He presents his oral work in an able manner, but instead of being a lawyer, he appears to have a future as a crooner. G eneral Douglas Midgely Basketball, Vice-President 3 Doug is one of those fellows who is always popular anywhere. He certainly looked flashy in that snappy V-8. He enters G. E. Apprentice School next year. 26 Henry Mullen College Dramatic Club Dependable Doorbell aspires to be a Harvard man. We hope he may realize his ambition, but gently suggest that he should start a stage managing school. Melba Nelson General You ' d never know it, but Melba is Telly ' s twin. What would McClellan ' s grocery department do with- out her sales ability? Why wish success, when it ' s al- ready attained? Thelma Nelson General Laugh and the world laughs with you, but Telly doesn ' t laugh at such inopportune moments. Basketball has developed in Telly a good sportsmanship envied by everyone. - . Elizabeth Neville General Betty is one of the late Nevilles. Last (usually) but not least must be her motto. Better get an alarm clock when you get a job, Betty. Winifred Nickerson General A red head who, apparently, does not like boys. Wini- fred, being naturally retiring, won ' t explain this oddity. Perhaps, in the near future things will change. We ' ll be watching, Winifred! 27 «9s Kome Nickole College Traffic Squad Nick is a quiet, concientious worker who is always ready to lend a welcome, helping hand. He will find an outlet for his brain power at Northeastern or M. I. T. Marjorie Nolan General Marjorie is very popular with her classmates, but she seems to intrigue plenty of underclassmen, too. This package of energy will be delivered to a business school next fall (CO. D,) Thomas Nolan General Cheer leader Peanie is often late, but always full of life, will certainly be missed. He was a great tonic for the vocal chords as a cheerleader. Next year, he ' ll take his pep to a business school. William Noretsky General Jinks is one of our smoothest dancers — and talkers! The faculty, especially Mr. Chadsey, appreciates his humor. He is considering traveling in the future — possibly down south! Willard Norton General Baseball 2, 3, 4,- Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 3, 4 ; Traffic Squad 3. Willie is our star athlete. The school loses 190 pounds of efficient end, guard and pitcher because of his graduation. Here ' s success to our future All-American! Dorothy O ' Neill General We have found Dorothy to be a grand sport, and especial- ly adept at passing notes. If she makes as good use of her ability at work as she did in school, she ' ll surely reach the top. Nellie O ' Neill Scientific Traffic Squad, Dramatic Club Nellie is probably the best female arguer and traffic officer in the school. Her candid discussions invigorate many classes. She II certainly keep things humming at Jackson. John Pace General All people grin some of the time, but some of the people grin all of the time and John is one of the latter. In one of his serious moments, he told us he ' d be working soon. Kenneth Perkins Scientific Student Council, Year Book Perk ' s ' brain didn ' t make much noise, but how it could perform. M. I. T. or Northeastern will be the lucky college next year. Careful, Einstein! -■- Dominic Petkewich Nick is the quiet fe the leaves are turning next fall, he Essex Aggy. Good luck, Nick! General ow with the nice profile. When I be found at 29 eneral Elwin Pheulpin G Senior Play, Traffic Squad We all knew Elwin was a swell dancer, but he proved himself a swell actor too. How about a one-man min- strel show, Astaire? New York is waiting to salute you! c ommercial Lois Philbrick Sahico, Cheerleader Lois has plenty of pep, vim, vigor — and voice! If all her cheering energy is transformed to efficiency, she will be a success in any office. Margaret Pittard General Margaret is a happy, sociable girl who knows the art of selling tickets. Our good wishes for a girl with her ambition are bound to be realized. Ida Priest General Cheerleader The little pepperbox of the class, Priesty. All the senior males wonder why she prefers underclassmen. Perhaps it ' ll be different at business school. Ruth Putnam Commercial Sahico Ruthie is our problem child. Her noisyness is over- shadowed, however, by her magnetic personality. As a member of an office force, we guarantee she ' ll speed things up. 30 Mildred Rawding Commercial Sahico Mildred ' s memory is one of her strong points, although it sometimes is a bit embarrassing. It should, however, be a great advantage after she becomes a secretary. Thelda Reiniger College Junior Riverside, Year Book Thekla is the High School ' s brain trust. She is not only brainy, but an energetic worker and faithful friend too. The college she chooses will be a lucky one. c ommerciai Lorraine Rydant Junior Riverside, Sahico Lorraine is known as the push ' ' of all clubs to which she belongs. Don t let the petite young lady fool you,- with her spirit, she ' ll succeed anywhere. Stanley Searles General Stanley is a good-natured gent. He never gets irratated or goes up in the air, ' ' but things will change soon. Yes — it ' s aviation. Nice going, Picard. Thomas Sheldon General Tom is serious in school (sometimes) but his friends know him to be a great jokester and a better boxer. He ' s got the punch to go places, and he will. 31 Albion Smith General Football 3 Al was a big help to ihe football team in his Junior year ,and he was always ready to enliven the class meetings, too. Al will prove that personality has a place in the business world Margaret Smith Commercial Sahico The sweetest songbird you ' ve ever heard — that ' s Mar- garet. She ' s the hit of every entertainment. She ' s going to keep on singing, so we ' ll hear her on the radio soon. Pearl Smith General Pearl is good humored and modest. She wants to go to work next year, and we ' re sure there are plenty of places in need of her pleasant personality. % ■a Richard Smith General Duck is a celebrated golfer. He ' s a very popular fellow with both sexes around our institution. It may be because of his dancing, or golfing ability, but we think it ' s because he is a swell fellow. Russell Smith General Rotund Russell is an expert whistler and also quite a man with the ladies. Always an admirer of good food, his intention is to learn how it is made next year at a chef ' s school. 32 Ruth Smith General Although we don ' t hear Ruth much, her bright smile speaks for itself. We can understand now why her coiffure is always so becoming — she plans to be a hairdresser. William Smith General Bill is usually quiet, but when he does talk he puts Floyd Gibbons to shame. Congratulations for many fine jobs willingly done, especially on the Senior Play tickets. Louise Solomita General We all know Louise and her big Buick! She ' s an enthu- siastic basketball fan and always ready for a little ad- venture. Next year will find her among students of a higher school. Joseph Spiegel Scientific Dramatic Club Handsome Joe came to Saugus only last fall, but has speedily become a popular, useful member of the class. Is it going to be dramatics or engineering, Joe? John Spottiswoode General President, 4 Spot, always a conscientious, unassuming lad, has come into his own this year, and has proved himself the ablest of class presidents. Next year, he ' ll be working just as hard at a different occupation. •% ' Br 0 dm 33 Phoebe Sprague General Phoebe is said to have a soft spot in her heart for cow- boys, and a yearning for the western plains. Don ' t leave us too soon, we ' ll miss you. Hazel Staples General Here ' s the one who ' s had a great deal to do with pre- paring the grand cafeteria lunches. Thanks, Hazel. May all your work be as fine a success. Ruth Stewart General Ruth s silence is as golden as her hair, but people who really have something don ' t need to tell about it. Best of luck, Ruth! Arlene Stone College Editor Focus, Junior Riverside, Senior Play, Dramatic Club, Year Book If it weren ' t for Arlene, a great many school functions wouldn ' t function as they ought to. There isn ' t space for all of her achievements, but we ' ll look for many more at Chandler. lege Beatrice Swain Col President Girl ' s Club, Orchestra, Dramatic Club Bea is a modest girl, but her popularity is evidenced by the fact that she is the First president of the Girl ' s Club. Saugus ' s loss is Wheaton ' s gain. 34 Thaddeus Sybil General Teddy doesn ' t need a hat tree in the Library — he uses Longfellow ' s head. He hasn ' t decided about his future yet — we humbly suggest that he be a salesman. John Tarasuik College John won enduring fame as a chemist when he blew a hole in Mr. Chadsey ' s laboratory ceiling. The hockey team of whatever college this genial, carefree blond selects will be an excellent one. Louise Tarr General Louise is very fond of reading, which may account for her excellent marks. She started her marks in grammar school and we ' re confident that she ' ll make her mark in the world. J  James Tirrell Scientific Maybe Jimmy gets his height from pumping gas and changing tires — or is it from stretching in classrooms? Time and college will tell! Helen Ward General Vivacious, carefree Helen likes to ride to school with the coach. She ' s sometimes seen riding with Amos too. May you have all the luck you deserve at Wilfred Acad- emy, Helen. ■3 Z vs AM V - w 4 35 Edith Wentworth College Student Council, Treasurer 4, Dramatic Club, Senior Play, Junior Riverside Edith is one of those remarkable people who are always helping the class, but have enough time to help them- selves to swell marks. She has intentions of entering the field of chemistry. oilege Mary Wesolowski C Junior Riverside Mary, the latest addition to the brilliant line of Wesolow- skies at Saugus, has not only maintained her scholastic ability but also helped in other ways. Remember those hot cafeteria dinners? Scientific Dramatic Club, Traffic f - WV v. Il - - — lift Gilbert Whittredge Editor Year Book, Senior Play, Squad Whit has brightened many of our classes and class plays with his subtle humor. He is such a proficient accordion player, he should be able to squeeze into Harvard next year. Neale Wilkinson Scientific Manager, Senior Play, Traffic Squad In spite of his many duties as manager, traffic officer, and thespian, Neale has had time to make himself popular with classmates — and he prefers brunettes. Good luck at Northeastern Wilke. Henry Wladkowski General Football 2, 3, 4 • Scotty was the captain and the backbone of our foot- ball team last season. He is a hockey player of no mean ability too. Plenty of colleges wouid like to have him on their roster. 36 Flora Wolfe General Sahico Even after Flora was elected President of the Sahico Club, she never lost her sweet blush. Just look around for Bud, and you ' ll usually find Flora. She is une grande fille! Virginia Wright General A natural smile and skill at dancing have made Virginia a very well-liked person. Would anyone recognize Virginia if she wasn ' t between the Green twins? We ' ll see after graduation. G eneral Charles Wyatt Traffic Squad Bud is the Saugus version of the well-dressed boy. Although quiet, he has a knack of saying humorous things at opportune moments, which should be a big help at the G. E. Apprentice School. J John Burton General John is a chemist of note and also quite an amateur in- ventor. His latest contribution to the scientific world is a bicycle radio, and on his own bicycle too. Don t split too many atoms, John. Edward Coy General Being quiet and looking peppy simultaneously is Edward ' s specialty. His decision about the future is still in the making, but his practice at Dutchland ' s should make him handy if he attends college. Francis Gould General Francis knows all the answers, but we can ' t understand why he tells them to the girls instead of reciting himself. Next year will find him busily working. Violet Hallin General Orchestra Vi is a shy, demure girl whose personality and spunk more than compensate her lack of size. She is sure to find a place in the business world. 37 Anna Ingemanson General Whenever the traffic officers saw Anna coming, they looked the other way, because she was quite a talker, and no one wants to say Quiet to such an attrac- tive person. Grace Lovell General Grace spurns the Saugus lads and turns to Lynn for her company. Will Lynn still get the breaks when you ' re at Simmons, Grace? William Lundergan General Bill likes all sports and many fellows, but doesn ' t seem to get very enthusiastic about the opposite sex. He ' s quite a boxer, so maybe we ' ll see him in the ring soon. Thomas Moorehouse General Tommy is a speedy fellow, whether on the baseball diamond or in the Ford sedan. Keep it up, Tom, the world needs more speed, and we wish you the best of luck. Harold Murphy Genera Tiger always enjoyed himself, whether in the class- room or the halls — even in session. He ' s one of our most widely known dancers too. We hope he finds that job he ' s looking for. Francis Oljey General Football 3, 4 Orchids to a boy who is brainy and brawny. Franny always knew all the answers in U. S. History, and he couldn ' t be fooled on the gridiron, either! Sophia Ostrowski General Doing helpful things is a habit with Sophia. Whether in the cafeteria or the office her efficency has always been appreciated. Tis rumored that her passion is caring for children. Maude Spence General A young lady with a good deal of aggressiveness is Maude. Her future ambitions are kept pretty much of a secret, but from observation the class concludes she ' ll be a great success. Ralph Walling General Although a blond, Squeak qualifies as tall and hand- some. He seems to like Junior girls, especially on Bank Nites. Don ' t you agree, Mary? Albert Wilson General Traffic Squad Al has been a swell combination of an efficient traffic cop and a regular fellow. He ' s going to transfer his energy from study to work after graduation. 38  W ' 77 mnn ' fcm ATHLETICS v ■ f% £t •? or FOOTBALL Our eleven on its initial start lost a heartbreaker to Agawam 20-13. However, the boys took a long trip down to Barnstable and came out on the long end of a score of 18-7. In the next two games, Gloucester and St. John ' s, our team was set back. They quickly returned to form and trimmed Amesbury 20-0. The Sachems out-played Swampscott but by two bad breaks lost 14-0. The Marblehead classic resulted in a 19-6 loss, but the boys put up a grand fight. The traditional thanksgiv- ing day battle with Danvers ended in a 6-6 tie. It was a typical grudge game and our team had great support (except from the referee). Five senior stars, Will Norton, Scott Wladkowski, Lew Fiske, John Donnelly, and Fran Oljey, will leave the team.

Coach Bernie Friberg ' s expert tutelage began to bear fruit last season. The sea- son was inaugurated with a moral victory when Classical was held to a 9-6 score. This was a fair indication of the fight which the players showed during the entire season, during which they made a very good record in the League. Even greater success may be expected next year, with such a large number of underclassmen on this year ' s team, but Willie Norton, Jim McLernon, and Tommy Moorehouse will be sadly missed. These are the boys who performed this year: McKay Muzzy Searles Champoux Brooks K. Hooper Kelley Caffarella Menard R. Evans Burns Leo Nagle Krause (Captain) Herald Parkinson McLernon Dill Norton Manager: Merrithe 41 BASKETBALL The experiment which was started in 1935 proved a very popular fixture in 1936-37. Although handicapped by lack of a high school gym, the team under Captain Jimmy McLernon, was a scrappy unit from start to finish. Many games were dropped by the closest of margins, the 35-33 contest with Swampscott being typical. As there were many underclassmen on the squad, it will probably show a defi- nite improvement next year because of the experience gained this season. The roster is as follows: McLernon K. Hooper Miller McKay Rogers Midgeley Leo Nagle Popp Lawrence Nagle Burns Muzzy Chase Warren Brooks Coulman McLean Manager: Gowan 42 THE CHEERLEADERS Appearing last fall in colorful new uniforms, our cheerleaders proved to be just as snappy as their clothes. The girls each had a letter on their jackets, spelling out Sachems, and the boys attracted great attention by means of leather lungs and white, (well, nearly white), flannels. They introduced many new and unique cheers during the sea;on. Mr. Taylor did a fine job in picking and managing the cheering squad, but we think he might have procured better boarding houses for the boys than the one they had to hire in Hyannis! For anyone who doesn ' t know them, they were: Peanie Nolan Red Hooper Bud Ferland Lois Philbrick Ida Priest Virginia Cook Marjorie Biddlecombe Phyllis Walton Estelle Harnden Barbara Stone 43 ATHLETIC DIRECTORS TEAM IN ACTION 44 ACTIVITIES THE CAST TENSE MOMENT 46 SENIOR PLAY Seventeen, a play of youth, love and summertime, was the production pre- sented by this year ' s senior class. Financially, it was the most successful school play ever presented, and was equally successful from a dramatic standpoint. Bud Ferland ' s father speech, Barbara Anthony ' s Oh, Willee, and Mar- jorie Johnson ' s baby talk will be long remembered. The hard work of Miss Hal I in and Mr. Young and the hearty cooperation of the senior class was an invaluable aid to the success of the play.

The hall was beautifully decorated with autumn leaves and grape clusters to represent an autumn scene. Vin Pelrine ' s orchestra supplied music which met with everyone ' s approval. Several teachers, and Mr. Pearce and Mr. Young were present. The Matrons were Mrs. Wilkinson, Mrs. Bean, Mrs. Hamilton, and Miss Marison. Best of all, no one was hurt in the ice-cream rush at intermission. THE FIRST SOCIAL The first social of the year, a hobo hallowe ' en party, was held on October 23 Costumes of all descriptions were in evidence. Red Hooper acted as our very able master of ceremonies, dressed in flannel underwear which matched his hair. He was assisted by Bud Ferland, in like costume. Varied entertainment was provided by Margaret Smith, Elwin Pheulpin, Pea- nie Nolan, Virginia Means, Hooper, Whittredge and Ferland, and a trio consist- ing of Roveto, Midgeley and MacDougal. Dancing was enjoyed, ' -, with many intermissions, during which doughnuts, apples, and slightly hard cider were procured. 48 SECOND SENIOR SOCIAL On Friday, December 18, our Christmas social was held. Although no Santa Claus appeared, there were Christmas trees and funny (?) gifts. Some of the latter caused much excitement! Vin Perlines ' amplifying system supplied the music for dancing. During inter- mission, after refreshments had been served, we were given some first class enter- tainment. Fred Butler played his Sax, Marjorie Lord sang and er-er- Jack MacDougal and Vern Evans-er-sang! Dancing was then enjoyed. THE SPRING HOP The second annual Spring Hop was held on April 30th, 1937, in the High School auditorium. There was a large crowd in attendance to dance to the music of Al Duffy s orchestra. Although the affair was informal, all the festivities of a formal dance, including a very successful grand march, were enjoyed. A large number of the faculty were present and participated in the dancing. The matrons were Mrs. Cook, Mrs. Cunningham, and Mrs. Wentworth. A popular new innovation of the dance was the very low price of admission which was possible because of the extra- ordinary financial success which the class enjoyed during the year. THE CLASS OUTING Once again Walden Pond was the favored (?) spot for the annual outing. Bright, if not early, on the morning of June 9th, many private cars and buses departed filled with seniors who splashed about the pond and landscape all day. When five o ' clock arrived, the pond and landscape were still the same, but the seniors weren ' t. How- ever, it may safely be said that a very profitable day was enjoyed. (Especially by the liniment and sun tan oil manufacturers.) THE BANQUET With Buddy Cunningham in the role of toastmaster, and the rest of the class in the roles of food destroyers, the banquet proved to be a huge success on the even- ing of June 14th. The food supplied by the caterer was enjoyed not only by the seniors, but by Mr. Pearce, Mr. Evans, Mr. Young, the members of the School Com- mittee and their respective wives. Also present were invited guests from the faculty and the worthy Junior president. The seniors were entertained by several fine after dinner speeches. This was one class activity which was heartily entered into by every member of the class. 49 CHAIRMEN OF COMMITTEES ON SENIOR ACTIVITIES 50 ORGANIZATIONS THE STUDENT COUNCIL The student council was organized this year by Mr. Pearce, for the purpose of giving the students the opportunity of having student government. One repre- sentative was elected from each room, and three from the study hall. The officers are: Harold Ferland ...... President Wendall Brooks ...... Vice-President Rita Cronin ...... Treasurer Marjorie Lord ...... Secretary The duties of the council are to vote on various controversies or difficulties which arise. Also, the president and vice-president preside at assemblies. We hope that future councils may prove to be as able politicians as this year ' s has. 52 5 :A:■■ .-v. ' v■•v■ : ; ■ Hv SfI •■ a a a © a a o DRAMATIC CLUB The Dramatic Club under the direction of Miss Isabel Hallin entered its third season with Ernest Allen as president, Gilbert Whittredge as vice-president, Mar- jorie Johnson as secretary, and Marian Belonga as treasurer. Its first production was a satire on a melodrama entitled Curse You — Jack Dalton . This was presented in the Christmas assembly. Many members of the dra- matic club also participated in the Senior Play. 53 SAHICO CLUB Sahico is derived from the first two letters of the words Saugus High Com- mercial and stands for the club composed of the commercial pupils and their esteemed advisor, Miss Hazel C. Marison. In 1936 the club became organized as a unit under the following elected officers: President . Vice-President Secretary . Treasurer . Flora Wolfe Virginia Babb Mildred Hatch Elsie Bardh This organization became responsible for the publishing of the Focus ' the school paper. Business meetings were held on the first and third Monday of each month, while social meetings were held according to the decision of, the members. During the year the club visited the Hood plant and other points of interest. 54 JUNIOR RIVERSIDE CLUB The Junior Riverside Club is composed of the twelve senior girls hav ing the highest scholarship Jor the first three years in high school. The membership is for one year, at the close of which the girls are eligible to become members of the Senior Riverside Club. Thi the off s year the officers are as tollows President .... Vice-President Secretary .... Treasurer .... Barbara Fairchild Mildred Hatch Arlene Stone Eleanor Davis The club meets once each month at the homes of the Junior Advisors,- Mrs. William Knights, Mrs. Francis Blouin, and Mrs. Melville Howard. The highlights of the club ' s program include a guest night, a conference, and an outing. 55 BAND Director: Mr. Hammond f% o r ORCHESTRA Director: Miss Goss 56 THE FOCUS The Focus ' most successful year has been due to the combination of the school facilities with an efficient staff headed by Arlene Stone. The years 1936 and 1937 saw a bigger and better school paper than ever before. Unique editions to this years ' papers have been Fashion Blobs, Stuff and Such ' more club and alumni news than ever, plus an expansion in quantity and quality of the previous years developments. May our young publication continue its progress in the future. STAFF Arlene Stone ........ Beatrice Anderson, Wendell Brooks. . Fred Butler ......... Virginia Babb ........

While proceeding along one of the busy thoroughfares of Cliftondale, they accidently bump into each other. Together: Oh, I beg your pardon — Charles: Flora Wolfe! Flora: Charles Cook! What in the world are you doing in Saugus? The last I heard of you ; you were progressing as a scientist out in California. You ' ve been away six years, haven ' t you? Yes. I went to New York for two years and then decided to venture into the Golden West. I ended my traveling at California, and I ' ve been situated there for four years now. I just arrived in the Old Home Town for a two months vacation. But suppose you tell me what you ' ve been doing? You ' d never guess! I ' m a reporter for the Saugus Focus, an up and coming daily town paper. Do you, by any chance, recognize the title Focus? It was the name of our high school paper. Yes, I remember it well. Speaking of high school, I visited there yesterday. It was fun going back and recalling pleasant memories. High school days were the days! Will you ever forget the September morning, in 1933, when we entered the school as freshmen? We acted like frightened rabbits. Every time that we saw someone coming along with his head up in the air and a manner expressing superiority, we realized that we were seeing one of those in- dividuals known as seniors. We cowered a little and wondered if we would assume such attitudes when we reached our final year. But the teachers were very patient and helped us through five long terms. At the end of that year we did manage to get a report card that stated (in most cases) that we were to sit with the sophomores in the coming fall. It seemed a relief to get that last white card after the pretty yellow and red ones the teachers had delighted in giving some of us. Mr. McLeod was the principal during our freshmen and sophomore years. When we entered class in our second year, with a little more self-assurance and less timidity, we still thought the seniors were haughty and fell into line to help the bewildered freshmen, who were in awe of the upper-classmen. Jack MacDougall was still basking in the praise that he had acquired as a freshman for his poetic masterpiece, An Athlete. ' MacDougall had the ability to do just about anything. Yes. Ability was a well-known word in our class. There was plenty of it. You ' re right. Really too much to mention. Remember Mr. Leahy ' s ability to inform one emphatically to return to Room 12 at two-twenty? Will you ever forget the day when all the students were expressing sorrow after hearing of his death and then were quite shocked when they discovered him walking about the building as hale and hearty as ever? One of the seniors presented him with a cabbage. Cabbage reminds me of eating and that modern cafeteria that was installed in the new addition to the High School. The new cafeteria certainly was welcome. We spent some time recalling our freshmen and sophomore years, but the really busy ones were the last two. 60 It was in our junior year that Mr. Pearce took over the reigns as principal. I think the changes he mcde in the final examination schedule were entirely favored by the majority of the student body, don ' t you? You bet. Most of us can remember times when we couldn ' t pass a half period exam, let alone one four times as long. What an improvement the tables in the cafeteria were. You didn ' t have to try to enjoy a lunch balancing a bottle of tonic in one hand while spilling thedecora- tions of a hot dog all over your tie. Remember the class meeting when we elected Bounce ' Conrad president? It ' s a wonder he didn ' t wear the gavel down to a toothpick from twisting it around in his hands. Yes, and remember the meeting when we decided on the Junior Prom date. That affair was a great success despite the fact that the class had had littleexperience with such social activities. Virginia Cook was the secretary. The treasurer, Marian Belonga, had little trouble taking care of dues but this convenience was overbalanced by the difficulty she encountered collecting the money. Miss Eyre, our class advisor, had little to say except when the question in hand was too deep for the light-headed juniors. The football team that year won all the League games except the one against those Marblehead terrors. The rooters for Saugus got quite rambunctious at the Swampscott game, and took down their goal post. I think almost everyone has a piece of it, if they haven ' t lost it during the years. Yes, and then someone from Swampscott retaliated, for one morning Stack- pole ' s field was minus a goal post. Our basketball team was quite successful, too, considering that it was our first year with the sport« Frankie Roveto was high scorer in the league. Yes, and Mr. Friberg ' s coaching put Saugus High ' s baseball team in the running. If we hadn ' t been on the wrong side of Lady Luck, we probably would have been right out front. I had the time of my life at the football assembly at the end of that year. Re- member the humorous gifts that were given to each player? I forgot who it was that gave Mr. Davis the jumprope so that he could reduce, but it brought more laughs than Jack Benny and Fred Allen put together. Didn t the marks drop off at the end of the year? When the finals came around, the juniors had to burn the midnight oil, as Mr. Watson used to say, in order to pass. The summer vacation was more than welcome to all, and too short for most of us. When classes resumed in the September of 1936, we proud seniors entered school just as the haughty seniors had when we came in as freshmen. We all dashed either to the study hall or the library. We began our senior year by electing class officers. If I remember correctly, John Spottiswoode was our choice for president, and Cunningham for vice-president. We brought Virginia Cook back for a second term as secretary and inducted Edith Wentworth as treasurer. Mr. Young kindly consented to assume the duties of advisor for our senior year. One of the most trying tasks he had was getting the class meet- ings closed in time for the first period. We voted to hold a hobo social in October. Some of the costumes were unique, to say the least. A little later, we held a popular Senior Dance. 61 The Christmas social was a success, too. The gifts were quite unusual. They put some life into the party. Then Burdett sent us our Commencement Books. I ' ve still got mine. I enjoy rereading the nicknames and the wants to be section. Some of us had unusual ideas as to what we wanted to be. I ' d laugh if those wishes had come true in any cases. Do you remember the traffic rules that came out? The circles were the shadows that lurked in the lives of many students. Nervous ones were so much on edge that when they cut out of line they expected that they might be going through a traffic light. Our football team wasn ' t quite as successful in our senior year. The general opinion was that the breaks were all against us, and they certainly were in that Danvers game. Then came that history-making senior play. What a h it that was! Miss Hallin ' s marvelous coaching coupled with the cooperation of the players made it a great hit and it made a financial record too, due to the hard work of Mr. Young and the committees. I ' ll never forget ' Bud ' Ferland ' s characterization of Willie ' Baxter, and Barbara Anthony s performance as his bread and butter, brown sugar, and apple- sauce-eating sister. In fact, everyone in it was good. The Springtime Revue was another great success of our senior year. That was another place where the vocalists, Evans and MacDougall, stood out. That reminds me of the Student Council and the Student Activities organization, two more things that were started in our last year. They ' re still going strong. I didn ' t see that Springtime Revue. I had to write a five thousand word theme for Mr. McCullough that night, if I remember correctly. When I think of those themes he gave u s to do, I wonder how I ever got out of the house. I guess everyone got out for the Senior Hop, though, except the boys who were in training for Bernie ' Friberg ' s baseball team or recovering from the spring football practice that ' Buzz ' Harvey put them through. Those last few weeks were crowded to capacity, weren ' t they? Trying to pay up back dues, dodging the scarlet fever epidemic, rehearsing for graduation, and saying good-bye to all our friends kept us very busy. Yes, we indulged in everything from sunburns at the outing and stomach aches at the banquet to a brand new minister at the Baccalaureate Service. Remember how uneasy and peculiar we felt as we sat there and listened to those speeches on graduation night? But what I wouldn ' tgive tobeback thereagain, in spite of all the confusion there was. Graduation was quite an experience, but do you know what made me suffer more than anything else that last week? No, what? That class day night, when you and I had to give the class history! Charles Cook Flora Wolfe 62 CLASS WILL Be it remembered that we, the Class of 1937, of the Saugus High School, County of Essex, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, being of sound mind and memory, but knowing the uncertainty of this life, do make this our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills by us at any time heretofore made.

Indeed, during his whole life, the educator to whom we pay tribute to-night, was a living example of our class motto: Deeds, not words. In all his writings we find no trace of the purely speculative talents,- he devoted him- self to what was practical and useful. His ideals were translated into beneficial acts. His inherent honesty found expression in every phase of his life. Into his law career Horace Mann brought practical idealism. He did not take every or any case which was offered him. He first investigated the details to discover the guilt or innocence of the defendant, for he did not believe in using his skill to attempt to disprove the indisputable fact that wrong was wrong. He was never known to plead the cause of a guilty man. Not only did he follow this principle him- self, but he also urged it upon young lawyers just entering their careers. Keenly observant of all which pertained to his profession, Mann saw, while ouilding up his law practice, that while laws increased and judges multiplied to •_id ninister justice, crime went en as a cancer in the vitals of civilization. But he also ,jw the possibility of removing through education some of the handicaps of character which produce crime and bring people into court. Consequently, when asked by Governor Edward Everett of Massachusetts to become the Secretary of a newly created Board of Education, Horace Mann, believ- ing firmly in the improvability of man through schools rather than through penal institutions, gladly accepted. Thereafter, he conducted a successful campaign for better education in Massachusetts. Ardently he believed that education should develop the student — mentally, morally and physically. In a multitude of ways, as we have already learned tonight, he sought to secure better teachers. And in many ways he sought also to make teach- ing more effective. He undertook to devise efficient methods of keeping records. He instigated the extensive use of globes and maps in the public schools, for he was convinced of the power of visual perception in learning. He maintained that every school should have a library. He strove for improved courses of study and practical subject matter. He believed in oral work and frequently, when teaching, gave assignments to be prepared and reported on orally in class. Antioch College, during his presidency was the first college to set forth an elec- tive system of courses. In place of the Latin and Greek usually required, a course in Social Sciences was offered. Here, too, young women were admitted on an equal basis with young men both as scholars and professors. Antioch furnished not only co-education, but also non-sectarian and non-racial education,- and it was this vision and liberality which led Mann to accept the presidency. A most unusual feature of Antioch College under Mann was its Honor Code for seniors. Instead of requiring the graduating class to attend chapel every day or making strict rules for them to follow, Mann set up his famous Honor Code which put a senior on his own honor to behave as he thought right and to serve as a pattern for underclassmen. This gave the President an opportunity to test the morals of a pupil. He held that a diploma was a certificate of character as well as education and he refused to graduate any immoral student. Concerned for the health of his students, he worked especially for the improve- ment of health through better school buildings. When he was first appointed as Secretary of the Board of Education, he went on a tour of inspection. He noticed one 68 school building with such a large hole in the roof that he wondered if it might be some apparatus for explaining the deluge. He asked the mistress if the children were not sometimes drowned out. She answered that they would be except that the floor leaked as badly as the roof and so drained off the water! It was a common occurence to find buildings in such a deplorable condition. Mann personally saw to it that the buildings were not only repaired and made as sanitary as possible, but also provided with means of proper ventilation. To encourage the students to care for their own health, Mann instituted physi- ology and hygiene courses and he continually urged upon youth the importance of physical fitness,- for he believed in a sound mind in a s ound body. So, too, in the realm of legislation, Mann showed the practical side of his .nature. While he was a Congressman he was an opportunist in the better sense of the word. He believed in obtaining the best thing he thought he could-secure at the time and place. During the twelve years he had been Secretary of the Board of Education he had not felt that he could jeopardize the cause of education by discussing or taking sides on the partisan questions of the day. But later, as the freedom of slaves greatly interested him and he firmly believed in the equality of man without regard to color, he eagerly took up the duties of John Quincy Adams as Massachusetts Representa- tive. Then he felt that he could openly preach against slavery. He let little water flow under the bridge before he made himself known for his anti-slavery views. Soon after arriving in Washington he successfully defended the case of Drayton and Sayers, who were charged with abducting s eventy slaves. He made many famous speeches against slavery and bitterly opposed the Fugitive Slave Law. He engaged in many heated debates with his colleague from Massa- chusetts, Daniel Webster, and was greatly disappointed when Webster gave his Seventh of March speech which Mann considered an open bid for the slave vote. During his two terms of office he was also interested in the problems of insanity and intemperance. He became closely associated with Dorothea Dix and he worked with her for the establishment of insane asylums. It was Mann who championed the Sunday Liquor Law and secured its passage. Whether he was lawyer, an educator, or a legislator, no effort was too great for him to exert if he saw an opportunity to give practical service to mankind. Near the close of his career he wrote to a friend: Today, according to the family Bible, I am sixty years old. . . . I am too intensely interested in the great ques- tions of human progress, of humanity itself, to be ready to quit the field in this stage of the conflict. I cannot leave without a feeling of breaking heartstrings. I feel for these causes as a father feels for his children whom he dreads to leave until they are out of moral danger. About three yars later at Antioch College, Mann stood on the platform ad- dressing for the last time a their commencement exercises the students whom he loved so well. Here he gave to them his great challenge to translate ideals into action, closing with these words: I beseech you to treasure up in your hearts these my part- ing words: Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity. To Mr. Evans, Sup erintendent of Schools, and to the members of the School Committee who have planned our education,- to Mr. Pearce, our Principal, Mr. Young, our class adviser, and the members of the faculty, who have worked so patient- ly for our advancement,- and to our parents, who have given us every possible assis- tance and encouragement; we, the class of 1937, express in parting our sincerest gratitude. Edith Wentworth 69 CLASS ODE True achievement is our watchword, Our ambition most sincere, As we leave familiar classrooms And behold the future near. Life ' s deep problems now confront us, But we need not have a fear; Deeds, not words ' ' will guide our footsteps As we press on, year by year. Loyalty to high endeavor, Whether task be great or small, Every year will bring new honor To each one who gives his all. When success shall smile upon us, Saugus High, we ' ll owe to you Endless praise and deep devotion. Time will prove your teachings true. Ch orus: Striving onward, ever onward, Guided by that radiant light, We ' ll remember that it ' s deeds By which we ' ll gain achievement ' s height.

Mil: You know, Graduation is exciting, isn ' t it? Bea: Yes, but it ' s the beginning of the end. Worse luck! Mil: What do you mean, worse luck? Nellie: Oh — hi, kids! You here too? I guess the whole class is here today. Just bumped into Bessie Mason. It looks like she still has that certain ' Spot ' in her heart. Bea: Speaking about spots — wasn ' t that funny when Stonie didn ' t quite clear the fence on New Year ' s Eve? But I bet Paul and Flora found a better spot on that night. Mil: It isn ' t only New Year ' s Eve that kids go to town. Betty and Barbara, Priest and Cookie, and a few others were seen by the wrong person at the wrong time and so — ten hours was the result. Nellie: Well, Mr. McCullough will never let the fair Marian, Margie and Dot Lydon forget when they went to town on the wrong day. Mil: Have you seen that poet Gil Whittredge around? Bea: You mean Whit? Socrates had nothing on him. Nellie: And guess who was with him. Bruce and Baldy, — still laughing over their own jokes. Bea: We ' ve got to admit some of them weren ' t so bad. Mil: Well, as far as jokes go — Putnam and Junior ' Evans manage to keep afloat. They have that certain something that we all like. Nellie: Speaking of keeping afloat, William Lundergan and Al Smith are out in the water trying to put one over on Specific Gravity. Do you think they ' ll do it? Bea: If Willie Norton can — they ought to be able to. And I see that ' Pinky ' Kramer can swim as well as he can drive the ' 36 Hudson. Nellie: I noticed that. Louise Solomita certainly gets around in her buggy. She leaves that hitchhiker, Lois Philbrick, standing on the corner every time. And what Lois doesn ' t have to say about it isn ' t worth hearing. Mil: But that ' s nothing compared to what Thelie ' Nelson and Et Foster say when their thumbs don ' t do the trick. Bea: Remember when we decided that Frappier was going to be a chauffeur with those puttees and then Joe Spiegal got the same idea and with the same put- tees. I hope they settle it without a fight. Mil: Tom Sheldon could help one of them out with his puglistic talents and may- be Tarzan Allan could help the other. Nellie: St. Patrick ' s Day certainly brought forth the fighting Irish in John Tara- suik and our football star, Scottie Wladkowski. By the way did you know that Johnnie writes humorous poetry? Bea: Gee! That must have burned up the old calories. Which reminds me that I ' m hungry. I wish I had Sophie Ostrowski to hand me a hot dog now, and Anna Chalitco to pass me some pop. Mil: Edie Curtis might try to charge you too much so that you ' d have to argue with the cashier, Edie Chase. 73 Nellie: Oh Edie is always on her job. And have you noticed the grand work Hazel Staples did on the lunch counter this year? Mil: It ' s lucky that those love-birds Donnelly and Burseil bring their lunch or the lunch counter wouldn ' t have enough to fill them. If Claire Carter hangs around with them much longer though, we ' ll have the eternal triangle, I ' m afraid. Bea: And how that well-known horse enthusiast, ' Bounce ' Conrad, does away with a quart of milk. It ' s a shame that Red ' Ovaltine ' McKenna can ' t help him out during the recess period. Nellie: Wally Fiske, the famous football end, says he eats so much to help develop those muscles that so many girls admire. Fran OI|ey, the fullback who claims to be so strong, nearly fainted when he heard he was an honor pupil. One of his ever ready pals, Johnnie Pace, used his musical talents to revive him. And it wasn ' t a yodel either. Mil: Isn ' t it funny? You can think of more silly things that the Seniors have done. For instance, that time Ernie Allen tried to grow a mustache and our undignified Vice President Cunningham counted each hair, and Crozier, Bean, and Teddy Sybil tried to pull them out. ' Kennie ' Babb kept a day by day record for him. Bea: What? Did someone say something about pulling out? I was just thinking of the time when our fisherman ' Ace ' Petkewich pulled Fish Pheulpin out of Lily Pond by mistake. In the meantime Eleanor Davis was running along the bank yelling, Poor fish, oh poor fish ' . Nellie: Johnnie Hatch and Bobby Johnson should have been there to sketch it so that Irene Beckett could have used her tinting talent on it. Mil: Many of the Seniors have interesting hobbies like that you know. Bea: Yes, I know that Ken Perkins is wrapped up in radio and ' chem ' and Bob Gabry is set on aviation, then Howard Fogg takes up bike riding in his leisure time. Mil: You should be around when some of the girls go bowling. Talk about contortionists — an expert wouldn ' t dare to hold his head up! Julia Folan takes a death grip on the ball; Margie Blatchford lets the ball carry her half way down the alley,- but — Elsie Bardh is semi-professional compared with the others. It ' s her teacher! Nellie: It may be the positions of Rawding and McCarthy that bring them up to a score of 65 once in a while, but then again they may be watching the pin boy, Georgie Gibbs, instead of the pins, or perhaps that contagious giggle of their audience, Peggy Andrews, upsets them. Bea: What a lot of time we can spend remembering the high spots of High School life! I suppose you know Frannie Down is even willing to be a scarecrow on Jack ' s farm, but she ought t o blow her own horn. Mil: But she ' s not the only one interested in farming. Frannie Gould does his share among the vegetables, and Rus Gould and Henry Clayton make sure that they only pick out the best of chickens. That is — with the aid of the Shiek Charles Ham- mond, who claims to be expert. Nellie: I can ' t imagine those inseparables, Hooper and Ferland, the quacks, ever on a farm. They ' re cut out to be ' city slickers, ' even if they did wear red flannels. Why, the sophisticate, Treva Keough, thought, at the time, that they were really be- coming to their personality. However, Maud Spence and Evelyn Chapman didn t think it quite proper. I hear that Evelyn has collected nearly one hundred class pictures. 74 Mil: Yes, but when the quacks finished everybody had an extra special time dancing and I ' ll never forget the riot Nolan and Midgeley created trying to eat bananas in a new style, and how much space Jinx Noretsky and Tiger Murphy needed for dancing. ' ' Bea: Even the honor students let their studious dignity go at times. Bud Fair- child enjoys a ' Pint ' now and then,- Irene Borys scrambled to make sure that she caught her sister ' s wedding bouquet. I wonder if it means anything. Nellie: Charlie Bethel soiled his dignity and unfortunately broke his arm when he fell from a tree and then again Charlie Cooke blushes and looks the other way when the fair sex admire his worthy profile. Coy and Husson would just eat that up. But do you know that Arthur Anderson never has lost his quiet dignity? Mil: Jim Tirrell says that Ralphie Gibbs, Frank Humphries, Sam Ludwig and Barnie Lowe never did have any. Recently, for some mysterious reason they are slow- ly acquiring it. Bea: Ernie Hynes certainly forgot his dignity when he gave that first-hand report on the New York Fashion Show which he claimed ended in barrels. When Mr. McCullough declared it unconstitutional and stopped him, Adelle Lomski thought it was about time but Mary McLaughlin protested. Mil: Melba Nelson, Marjorie Nelson and Betty Jacquith protest heavily when anyone says the Park should be cleaned up. Nellie: The class baby, Violet Hallin, and Elizabeth Neville, Winifred Nicker- son and Jean Lennox are members of the Silence Club whose motto is just the op- posite from Dot O ' Neil ' s philosophy. Bea: It might be a good idea if MacDougall and Jim McLernon followed suit and quieted down a bit. Mil: Yes, and it would be profitable if Kome Nickole and Professor Mullen adopted MacDougall ' s tactics. We ought to hear more from them. Bea: Times a-wastin ' , so I must be going. Coming Millie? Mil: In a minute. There ' s one thing I ' ll never forget and that ' s when Winifred Hamilton, on an errand to the locker room to see Mr. Friberg, entered without the formality of knocking, much to their mutual embarassment. Ask Winnie about it! Bea: It ' s been so long since we ve seen Grace Lovell without her Freddie ' that I guess it ' s the real thing this time. And then we all know that Doris Lallier is seldom seen without a beau brummel. ' However, she manages to have her home- work done. Nellie: That ' s more than you did sometimes. Bea: Now I know it ' s time for me to leave. So long. Mil: So long, Nellie. Come on Bea. Nellie: I ' ll see you at the reunion in 1940.
