Lumber camps seem to appeal to him but we ' re not sure of his future ambitions. Matthew Hennessey Social Arts Mat ' ' is another of the latecomers to our class. He already has a host of friends and surpasses most of them in studies. Tufts will be the lucky college. Anthony Hatch Social Arts Orchestra Tony ' is one of those fellows who gets along with everyone, especially the girls. His favorite pastime is dancing, and who knows, perhaps some dav, he II be another Fred Astcire. Spero Kossivis Social Arts Spero is a ready, willing and able worker. He is well known as a nuisance in the minds of the teachers but is well-liked among the fellows. Howard Nickerson Social Arts Nick ' ' is that handsome young man who drives around in Peggy ' ' (his car). His good looks and gift of gab have won the heart of many a fair maiden. 45 Mary Pendleton Social Arts Senior Play Tall, dark, and attractive, Mary appears to be the quiet type, but we expect she is really quite mis- chievous. She likes the boys and vice versa. Kenneth Robertson Social Arts If you want a good time, take Ken, who is always in the best of spirits. He is a conscientious lad who hopes to attend night school. Clarence Savolainen Social Arts Here ' s one who doesn ' t care for girls, He claims they won ' t be true. We ' re wondering just how many years He ' ll paddle his own canoe. Lenora Staples Social Arts Lee is a very talkative girl who has a genial smile on her face. Her desire to go on in the world is shown by her willingness to help others. Joseph Williams Joe ' ' is a combination of good nature and fun. He is the author of many a practical joke and his witty re- marks often throw the class into fits of laughter. 40 Lucy Faliarano Social Arts Noise is Lucy ' s middle name. Although we know nothing of her plans for the future, we wish her the best of luck. Jane Kelly Jane isn ' t one of those people who one has to use some method to convince the doubtful, so she relies on a friendly conversation Social Arts ikes to argue, but Donald Hill Social Arts Don is one of those fellows who believes in making his share of noise. He certainly upheld his belief when he took U. S. History under Mr. McCullough. Harry Nish Social Arts Traffic Squad Harry is one of our sagacious classmates who is noted for being a sportsman and a ladies ' man. ' ' His future will be devoted to Diesel Engineering. Wendell Blanchard Social Arts Traffic Squad • What Wendy lacks in size he makes up for in fight. Will any of us ever forget the encounter, Blanchard vs. Skunk, with the latter the victor. Willard Buckless Social Arts Buck is very much interested in aviation and we predict that he will rise to great heights if he decides upon this for a career. 47 i Robert Charles Social Arts Right! He ' s the chap with the likeable grin and quiet manner. Occasionally he blossoms forth with the fairer sex. Norma Cochrane Commercial Sahico Norma is often seen and seldom heard, but her many favors for everyone speak louder than words. We expect that she will make a fin e secretary for some man. Ralph Crozier Social Arts Ralph may be remembered as a dark, curly-haired chap. Soon he will be searching for that scarce something known as a job. Eleanor Currier Commercial Sahico Eleanor is one of our quiet little misses who will go far in fulfilling her desires. Her future is undecided but we know that she will be successful in whatever she attempts. Walter Day Social Arts When you see that dark-haired fellow with a smile, you will know that it is Happy. ' ' He is what is commonly termed a good sport, ' and this should help him in whatever he undertakes. Walter Dill Social Arts Football, Baseball Flashing Basher ' climaxed a great football season when he caught a pass and ran fifty yards to tie the score in the Danvers game. He is also quite a baseball and hockey player. John Dow Social Arts Jake is a little fellow who is very much interested in sports, especially baseball and hockey. Like his brother Ed, he spends much of his spare time working at odd jobs. Albert Fisher Social Arts Al is an industrious lad who showed his school spirit by selling tickets at the football games last fall. His motto is, actions speak louder than words. 48 Frederick Foster Social Arts Fred is one of those super quiet fellows. It is rumored that he has only spoken a hundred words in his four years of high school. Cora and Doris Green Social Arts We spend much of our time trying to distinguish between the Green twins. They are alike not only in appearance but in efficiency as well. Paul Hayes Social Arts Paul is the fisherman of the class. Whenever he is missing, it is assumed that he is busily engaged in the pastime of Izaak Walton. Joseph Hodge Social Arts Joe believes in keeping what he knows to himself. ' This is often a good idea and who knows, perhaps he has some great invention stored away in his brain. John Lindquist Social Arts John has more private vacations than any one else in the class, yet he keeps up in his studies. We ' d like to know how he does it, that ' s all. Richard Long Social Arts Dick is one of the more dignified seniors, but he is always ready with a remark. He is very silent about his future, so it must be good. Lauretta Lynch Social Arts Retta plans to attend Chandler ' s, but don ' t be sur- prised if she goes to Bryant and Stratton. She will make a good secretary for someone after the comple- tion of her schooling. Frederick McGarry Social Arts Traffic Squad, Senior Play Fred is a versatile actor who can portray anyone you wish. He made a big hit in the Senior Play, and we are sure that he will make a bigger hit in the U. S. Navy. 49 Arthur Parker Social Arts Traffic Squad ' Art has proven himself a dependable fellow in high school, and dependability is what employers are look- ing for; so he should win a place in this busy world. Bennie Pasquariello Social Arts Joe is a hard worker both in and outside of school and is noted for his witty remarks. Lots of luck, Joe. Thomas Tresilian Social Arts Tom is a friendly sort of chap. We hardly ever hear from him, but he is always on the go. May his future be as bright as his smile. 3n Jfflemortam DOROTHY CHARLES HARVEY DROWN 50 ATHLETICS rCCTBALL The 1937 football season brought Saugus High School great prominence in the gridiron world. Charles Buzz Harvey, the new coach, called the first practice in mid-August and molded an eleven which not only whipped our traditional rival, Marblehead, for the first time but continued to win the four following games over Barnstable, Gloucester, Amesbury, and Woburn. Handicapped by injuries, the Sachems split even in the next four games by beating St. Johns and Plymouth and losing to Newburyport and Swampscott. The Thanksgiving Day game with Danvers ended in a 6-6 deadlock and, like the previous year, Saugus received all the bad breaks (especially from the referee). The Senior members of the squad are marked with a star on the roster (below) and the large number definitely shows that our class played a prominent part in the great season of ' 37. Best of luck to Buzz Harvey, Captain Earl Hanson, and the 1938 Sachems in the new Stadium. Season ' s Record — 7 wins, 2 losses, 1 tie. ROSTER Herald McKay Pitman Bucherie Brooks Merrithew Hanson Burns Riley Collamore Dill (Wood row) Demaso Fauci (Capt.) Coffill Harrington Derderian Mueller Fairchild Dill (Walter) Reiniger Hooper Krzywicki Duffy Popp Evans Small Parrish Coach- —Harvey Manager- -Stewart 52 BASKETBALL The basketball team of 1937- ' 38 was composed almost entirely of underclassmen. Although they were seldom on the long end of the score, they showed great im- provement as the season progressed and gave promise of a fine team in the near future. Coach Harvey began an intramural league among the underclassmen and in this manner he had the opportunity to look over large numbers of boys and pick out the best for the high school team. Undoubtedly the most spirited game of the season was the contest between the high school team and the faculty in which the latter emerged the victor in an overtime, 39-38. The absence of a school gymnasium became very evident this year and we sin- cerely hope that it will be possible to construct one in the next few years. The members of the basketball squad were: Hooper Miller Rogers L. Nagle Harrington Vatcher Demaso Hurlburt Blanchard T. Nagle J. Nagle Parrish Clark McKay Burns Coach — Harvey Manager — A. Miller 53 CASE CALL Coach Bernie Friberg began the 1938 season with an unusually large number of veterans as well as several promising youngsters. In Bill Herald and Buddy McKay, he had one of the best batteries in the Northeastern Conference. They lost their first game to Peabody because of several errors at crucial moments but the boys settled down to play fine ball and made a very good record in their last appearance in the league. Many of the boys have played their last game for Saugus High and they hate to leave the team as much as the team hates to lose them. The fellows (Seniors starred) who played this year were: Herald Mitchell McKay (co -Capt.) Stewart Searles Moorehouse Brooks (co- Capt. ) Dill Kelley Ca ffarella Champoux Harrington Krause Demaso Muzzy Parkinson Evans Hooper Blanchard Oliver Coach — Fr berg Manager — E. Haines 54 CHEERLEADERS The five girls who were chosen for last fall ' s cheering squad were Martha Parasco, Phyliss Walton, Mary Thomas, Dorothy Drown, and Barbara Stone. All were Seniors with the exception of Dot Drown who was a Junior. Th ese peppy, attractive girls wasted no time in proving that they were well chosen. From the opening game with Marblehead to the final mud battle with Danvers, they kept the fans behind the Sachem eleven one hundred per cent. They never seemed to lose heart and were a great asset to the football team as well as a credit to the school. o ur only regret is that our girls couldn ' t have been the first ones to lead the cheers in the new stadium. 55 ATHLETIC DIRECTORS Mr. Friberg, Mr. Chadsey, Mr. H arvey, Mr. MacVi car TEAM IN ACTION 56 ACTIVITIES THE CAST 58 M N 14 I PL AY New Fires, a comedy in three acts, was presented by members of the senior class on March 11, 1938 in the Town Hall. The play dealt with the experiences of a city family who had moved to an ancestral home in the country. They got into many difficulties (especially the youngest children, Barbara Stone and Charlie Doucette) but everything ended happily. The success of the play was due particularly to the untiring efforts of Miss Barbara Wright and Mr. Young. The former picked out a fine cast and did an ex- cellent job of coaching the play while the latter handled the tickets and was respon- sible for the sell-out. Much praise also went to the entire cast, the managers, and the committee in charge. CAST Lucinda Andrews Suzanne Toler Sid Sperry Jerry Stephen Santry Billy Santry Phyllis Santry Anne Santry .

The Seniors, for the most part, failed to support the dance however and the class treasury received its first real set-back. The mothers of the class officers acted as matrons and several members of the faculty were honored guests. The hall was unusually attractive with its blue and silver decorations. The dance was informal and the music was supplied by Frannie Ritchie and his orchestra. CIRES ' CLUB DANCE The comparatively new Girls ' Club of the school sponsored their first dance on December 22, 1937. Contrary to the usual custom, the girls invited the boys (and bought the tickets, too). The advance sale of tickets exceeded all expectations and assured a financial success. The evening of the 22nd found not only upperclassmen but also many Freshmen and Sophomores ready to glide about to the sweet-sway rhythm of Jack Ford and his orchestra. The decorations were appropriate for the Christmas season and tiny bells were given for favors. The mothers of the officers were present as well as many teachers. Much praise was due to Miss Hayward, Miss Motherwell and the committees. 60 ORGANIZATIONS THE BAND The band is the organization which has made the most noticeable progress during the school year 1937- 38. About a year ago, the band members held a Tag Day which brought sufficient funds to purchase new uniforms. Then, during the hot summer weather, they prac- ticed at regular intervals so that they might be ready for the football season. Their long hours of practice showed up to the best advantage during the fall when they attended all the football games and received much applause for their fine music and marching formations. They played at the football banquet in January and received a very favorable comment from the speaker of the evening, Bill Cunningham, noted sports writer, who is an excellent judge of bands. In April, they gave a short concert over the radio and later gave their first band concert in the Town Hall. This latter concert proved very successful and will doubtless establish a precedent. Congratulations are due to each member of the band and especially to their one and only director, Donald Hammond. 64 M M4 I I IV I I All 1 « I II After the first three years of high school, the twelve girls with the highest averages automatically form the junior Riverside Club. The officers for the year were: President Mary Wall Vice President ..... June Auger Secretary-Treasurer .... Eleanor Sharp At Ch ristmas, the club gave a holiday basket to a needy family in town. The club climaxed an active year with an outing and banquet. Their meetings were held at the homes of their advisors, Mrs. Knights, Mrs. Downie, and Mrs. Willis: After graduation, the girls were eligible to join the Senior Riverside Club. 65 ORCHESTRA DIRECTOR: Miss G osse GIRLS ' CLUB CABINETS PRESIDENT Priscilla Green Senior VICE PRESIDENT Virginia Wentworth Junior SECRETARY Helen Rounds Sophomore TREASURER Dorothy Ralph Freshman Miss Hayward and Miss Motherwell: Advisors 66 THE rccws The Focus celebrated its fifth year of publication by issuing a larger paper with several new sections. The large staff headed by Edward Merrithew proved to be one of the best in several years. Several much needed additions to the paper were the movie section, edited by Robert Hill, and the contests, under the direction of Mary Wall. The club write- ups and literary section were both made more extensive as was the exchange depart- ment under Eliot Young. Best of luck to future Focus staffs. STAFF Edward Merrithew ...

The club is composed of students taking all commercial subjects, and their ad- visor, Miss Hazel Marison. The officers who served during the past year were as follows: President ....... Audrey Gray Vice President ...... Jennie Gosse Secretary ....... Alice Doyle Treasurer ....... Ruth Marston The regular business meetings are held once a month and special meetings are called to publish the school paper, The Focus. Interesting trips are taken and social affairs are held at intervals during the year. 08 THE STUDENT COUNCIL This year ' s Student Council, as previously, consisted of one representative from each home room and three from the Study Hall. The duties of the council were to discuss school problems and collect Student Activity dues. The five senior members were: Catherine O ' Connor, Emery Rice, Priscilla Green, Albert Gosselin, and William Legrow. This year ' s officers were: President Vice President Secretary Trea surer Emery Rice Joseph Gillis Jeanne Anderson Priscilla Green During the Christmas vacation, the council sponsored their annual College Day for the college preparatory students in the school. School alumni, now attend- ing college, spoke on the different phases of college life at this social affair. The council was responsible for the new Lost and Found ' ' department and passed several issues dealing with necessary qualifications for future class officers. Several members attended the state convention at Medford and returned with many new ideas. The constitution which was adopted later in the year was a direct result of the convention. 6Q YEAR BOOK STAFF 70 LITERACY CLASS MSTCCy A DIARY BY EVELYN HUTCHINSON AND JUNE AUGER Freshman Year Sept. 6, 1934 At last the day had come and we were full-fledged Freshmen at Saugus High! We struggled through our first day of adjustment to the new routine and the strange faces of the upper classmen. Our spirits were subdued by the superior attitude and cold glances of the much envied Seniors. Each teacher disappointed us by giving us large assignments of homework; and the new teacher, Miss Lavin, was no excep- tion. We could easily see how our future evenings would be spent. June 14, 1935 We have waited for this day just as anxiously as we awaited the first. During the year we were terrified by the two period exams. Although most of us came through with flying colors, a few received some strange red and yellow deficiency cards. The members of the Freshman Class were outstanding in the field of sports, having shown remarkable ability as football and baseball players. Much to our embarrassment many of us were victims of that childish disease, measles. This caused much hilarity among those who were fortunate enough to escape it. Sophomore Year Sept. 4, 1935 Today we were greeted by a new principal, Mr. John A. W. Pearce, who introduced many welcome changes in the schedule. As Sophomores we received less attention than formerly, but did our part toward making the Freshmen miserable. Oct. 1, 1935 Our class was the pioneer Sophomore Class to organize. The results of the election were Frank Muzzy, President; Buddy McKay, Vice President; Rita Cronin, Secretary,- and Barbara Stone, Treasurer, with Miss Isabel Hallin our Advisor. June 20, 1936 This year has been enlivened by Red Hill ' s poetic attempts and that big event, the Sophomore Hop. We ' ll always remember our writer ' s cramp after the long hours spent on Mr. Blossom ' s five thousand word themes. Our enthusiasm reached new heights during the football season as Coach Leahy and the boys won game after game. The Marblehead Magicians were the only ones who successfully surpassed the athletes. In June Bernie Friberg did good work improving the base- ball team. Those with an average of 80 or above were lucky enough to be excused from taking the final exams, but the less fortunate ones who had to struggle through them came through without any serious damage. Another year has passed and there will be no more readin ' , ritin ' , and ' rithmetic for ten long weeks. 72 Junior Year Sept. 30, 1936. We ' re back again and do we feel important! We ' re Juniors! The class offi- cers were elected and we were very pleased with the results. Wendell Brooks is President,- Roddy MacLean, Vice-President; Audrey Gray, Secretary,- and Mary Thomas, Treasurer. We often wonder how Brooksie felt when no one heeded his rapping with the gavel and when no one would make a motion to adjourn the meet- ing because that meant going back to classes. Nov. 1, 1936 For the first time many of the social and all the athletic events of the school were combined under one head known as the Student Activities. Th is organization brought into being the now well-known Sachems. Because the girls up to this time had no social organization, they demanded attention, and the result was the formation of the Girls ' Club. The first president was Beatrice Swain, Class of ' 37, and Priscilla Green, Class of ' 38 was Vice-President. March 5, 1937 What a busy day this has been! We all had to attend to those last minute preparations for the biggest event in our social life up to now — the Junior Prom. Much to our pleasure the class rings arrived this afternoon, and there was a great display of them at the dance. The assembly hall resounded with gay laughter and was resplendent with the colorful gowns of the dancers. It was certainly a suc- cess, both socially and financially. June 1, 1937 Those members of the class who had paid their dues and who were historically inclined, made a tour of the notable places of Boston. The music lovers were treated to an enjoyable evening at the Pops Concert at Symphony Hall, Boston. June 21, 1937 Happy days are here again! The majority of us will return in the fall as Seniors. In the Springtime Revue the Junior Class was distinguished by the work of Phyllis Walton, Eleanor Stowell and Kay O ' Connor. Fred McGarry, a newcomer to our class, did his part toward making this event a success. Many of the fairer sex took frequent walks to Stackpole ' s Field. Of course, it wasn ' t to see the new football coach, Buzz Harvey, and the boys at practice. Much to Mr. Chadsey ' s surprise the chemistry students finished their experiments without blowing up the lab, and the Commercial and Scientific students triumphantly waded through Mr. McCul- lough s notebooks, themes, and the never-to-be-forgotten Gettysburg Address. Senior Year Sept. 5, 1938 Sophisticated Seniors. After waiting all these years, those at the end of the alphabet were bitterly disappointed to be placed in rooms 211 and 212 instead of the palce of honor, the Study Hall. We were delighted to greet the newcomers, Connie Silver from Melrose, and the Cubies, Agnes with her lovely curls, and Alex- ander with his ruddy complexion, who had just arrived from the British Isles. 73 Dec. 10 and 22 1937 King Winter was ushered in by the Senior Lance early in the month and by the Girls ' Club at its Christmas Dance. The girls spent many sleepless nights wondering whom they would ask as their escorts to the latter affair. Some boys were over- whelmed by their many invitations. Jan. 22, 1938 What a day! A day long to be remembered by the Saugus Sachems, the wearers of the bright red football uniforms This was the day they were the guests of honor at the banquet tendered them by many prominent men of the town in recognition of their marvelous work on the football field. This group of players drew greater crowds and caused more attention to be focused on football than ever before in the history of Saugus. Buzz ' Harvey certainly did a splendid piece of work with the boys. Among the notables at the banquet were Bill Cunningham, sports writer, and many well-known college coaches. At this same time, the band and the cheer lead- ers were given a banquet for their splendid work. April 8, 1938 Although ' New Fires ' have died down, the embers of this play will long burn in our memories. With the main cast acting as the logs on the fire, it took good kind- ling wood such as Stoney and Charlie to keep the fire burning. Under the man- agement of Eddie Merrithew, the Focus, which is the brainchild of the school, has grown into a bigger and better paper. We are proud that it has gradually devel- oped into a worth-while protegee. At the Senior Social, Mr. Blossom and Mr. McCullough forgot their geography and history long enough to lead us in the Virginia Reel, much to our surprise and enjoyment. June 18, 1938 All good things must have an end And school is no exception. Today we dream of th ings gone by And of the world ' s reception. After much controversy, the class outing was held at Walden Pond. Even the rain did not dampen the spirits of the gay crowd who had an enjoyable day. At the banquet it was surprising how the conversation dwindled as the various courses were placed before us. We shall never forget the Baccalaureate Service held on June 12. We have pleasant memories of the Senior Reception and the Alumni Dance. The latter made us realize that we, too, were alumni of Saugus High and must say So long, old pals, Our ways must part. Our school days now are o er. We take our place In this big world As have all those before. 74 CLASS PCCPUCCy Oracle — Jean Carlisle Traveler — Tony Scire Traveler: It seems strange to find myself, ten years after my graduation in the land of the Greeks in front of the Oracle of Delphi. On such an occasion it is natural that, on viewing this great temple I am haunted with the thoughts of the class of 1938. Oracle of Delphi, will you tell me the story of my class? Oracle: I know you not, but speak. If I am able to help you, I will. Traveler: How about that inseparable pair George Reiniger and Don Muel- ler ' ? Oracle: George Reiniger and Donald Mueller? They run the Debutante Gown Salon ' with Peggy Coffil, Dot Swanson, and Jeanette Siaglo as mannequins. When the occasion arises, Don with his fair looks and George with his fair locks demonstrate the gowns themselves. Traveler: They were a funny pair. They always used to find pleasure in teasing Marienne Bucherie. She must occupy an important position now. Oracle: Marienne has become a successful authoress. Her latest book is entitled An Essay On Sarcasm ' and is dedicated To Earl Erskine Chadsey Junior. . . . the best teacher I ever had. Traveler: I came across a fellow by the name of Lindgren who operates a gym- nasium for the benefit of men who are deficient in height. Can this be the same Lindgren that I knew in high school? Oracle: Yes, I think so. If you recall it was Corey Lindgren. He has formed a corporation with Bill Legrow and Ernest Ingemanson. Three of the pupils who have shown rapid progress are Charlie Doucette the actor, Albert Gosselin the banker, and Professor Edgar Haines . Traveler: Yes, I well remember them. We had a few agriculturists in our class, too. Among them were Willis Pynn, James Dowers, and Fred McGarry. Willis is now an expert on poultry. His stamp of approval is placed on all the poultry that is sent to the White House on Thanksgiving Day. Dowers and McGarry have a good income but they can ' t seem to hold on to their money. Oracle: Why not? Traveler: Well, they are married! Speaking of marriage, June Auger ' s one ambition was to get married, did she succeed? Oracle: Alas, Fate was against her. She is now a school teacher, and you know what that means! It does seem too bad that June was not able to have a home of h er own. Traveler: This is indeed a joyous occasion, this blending of our mutual thoughts together. I now seem to recall many of my classmates. Why there was Eddie Parish. He was a good football player. He must hold an important position in the field of sports. Oracle: ' Yes, very true, he is playing tackle for the Boston Shamrocks. Walter Dill is head football coach at Saugus High School, replacing Buzz Harvey who recently retired after having coached Saugus High through a long unbroken line of championships. Traveler: Stanley Kryzwicki was an aggressive player. Stan and John Muzi- chuck are president and secretary respectively of the ' Second Hand Lumber Company ' 75 with headquarters at Geneva, Switzerland, where they are trying to gain a monopoly in the lumber business through the League of Nations. Oracle: A few of your class have gone in for dramatics. They have founded a Sachem Dramatic Club, and only recently presented ' Macbeth. ' Audrey Hartley played Lady Macbeth,- Bill Larkin, Macbeth,- Everett Warren, Fleance,- Tony Hatch, MacDuff,- Lloyd Allen, Duncan,- and Wendell Blanchard, Malcolm. They form an excellent group. Traveler: I was surprised to hear that Donald Hill teaches home discipline in a private school for boys! Some of his pals, Bob Charles, Joe Hodge, and Herbert Greenlaw have drawn up the plans for a new high school ... in Melrose. Oracle: Most of your class has become quite successful. Emery Rice is a professor of languages at Dartmouth. Eli Young is an Osteopath of note. His most outstanding work is the treatment of ' AUTOMOBILITIS ' that dreadful disease caused by little work and much automobile riding. Charles Sullivan is a violin soloist with the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra. Do you remember them? Traveler: Surely, weren ' t they friends of that poet Red ' Hill? Tell me, is he still writing? Oracle: Let me see, . . . no, no, he isn ' t. Mr. R. Bruce Hill is now the United States Consul to Zanzibar. Elaine Robinson is a radio entertainer. Frank Muzzy conducts an all-girl swing band on the same program. Helen LeBlanc, Hilda DeGroot, and Jane Kelley are a few of the players. Traveler: ' Florence Sharp, better known as Eleanor, has just returned from the Coral Gates in California where she has been modeling spun glass and latex beach togs, the latest products of the Sanborn Rubber Company. Jean Carlisle is the operator of a French Canadian correspondence school for the benefit of the Cana- dian-American young men who are interested in the field of Romance. Oracle: Eddie Krause is the superintendent of a factory which produces Michey Mouse enterprises. Al Fisher and Joe Williams have amassed a small fortune by selling Plathelminthes to Saugus fishermen. Charlie Gibbs, after having run five times, has finally become a Selectman in the town of Saugus. Traveler: I heard that Rita Cronin has replaced Frances Perkins as Secretary of Labor. Carolyn Chapman runs a home for undernourished maiden ladies. Oracle: Harry Nish has opened a restaurant on Main Street. Some of his patrons are Agnes ( Oh Mister Chawdsey ' ) Cubie who has recently been appointed missionary to India,- Lucie (Lu) Falzarano the noted columnist,- Frank (Rudy) Carter the electrician; Matthew (Legs) Hennessy, the noted inventor; and Ralph (Hairbrush) Coombs accompanied by Martha Parasco the leather-lunged cheerleader. Traveler: A few of my classmates are now in business for themselves. Walter Sprague operates a funeral home; Edwina Leonawert runs a Hot Dog Stand on Lincoln Avenue,- Rod MacLean conducts a high school dancing class,- Hcrold Piatt is the proprietor of a chicken farm specializing in milk-fed spring chickens. He is now trying to develop a four-legged duck so that drum sticks will not be at a premium. Oracle: I know a few that have done well for themselves, too. Stanley Belyea is a reporter on the Saugus Herald. Rose Apkarian has just completed a book on ' How to Study French ' which is dedicated to Miss Bernice Hayward. William Barrett is a tree warden for the State of Maine. 76 Traveler: About six months ago I met ' Dud ' Pearson. We talked a while and he told me that he was taking an important part in the latest Four Arts Club Play. He told me what several members of our class were doing. Barbara Stone is an air- hostess on the ' American Airways Ship ' which is piloted by Norman Yeo. Josephine Christmas and Virginia French are librarians in the Saugus Public Library. Audrey Gray and Priscilla Green are hostesses in Harry Nish ' s restaurant. Walter Day, Eddie Ouelette, and John Dow are scenario writers for Universal Pictures.

Eddie Merrithew has been appointed military advisor at West Point. Traveler: Yes, I remember Eddie. He always used to giggle in class. I heard that Mabel Collin and Charles Maes run a delicatessen store. Charlie is still saving for that operatic career. Hazel Fiske and Catherine Burke are secretaries to the Howard Nickerson Finance Company. Oracle: I know a few that you missed. Dot Boyle, Barbara Cameron, Eleanor Currier, and Doris Green are employed at the Saugus Social Service Center which is situated on the sight of the old Saugus High School. Roberta Kenerson is a matron in a reform school. Helen Koszchei, Catherine Lomski, Lauretta Lynch, and Jean McKinnon are leaders of a new educational party for the abolition of home study, since they exercised a tendency towards this situation while still in high school. Traveler: Dot Smith, Margaret Hunter, Genevieve Farrin, and Alice Winslow, who, while in high school showed an inclination towards the domestic field, are now happily situated as housewives, Evelyn Floyd, that charming blond, is a blues singer in the Silver Slipper Nightclub on the Salem Turnpike which is run by Betty Stedman and Alice O ' Connor. Oracle: Tillie Tura and ' Gin ' Hull, who were always holding hands, are now doing it in a professional manner, only the taking of temperatures and the chang- ing of beds go along with it. Marjorie Dole is a court stenographer in the night court conducted by the woman judge Marion Wheaton. Tony Scire is rapidly gain- ing fame as a producer of musical comedies on Broadway. Barbara Holbrook, his secretary, reports that he has received many fan letters as a result of his last show which was entitled Soda Pop. ' Patricia Walls who always showed a fine athletic ability, is now competing for the national women ' s fencing championship. John Coakley, who always hated to do his own work, runs a ' Snap It Yourself photog- rapher s studio, while Donald Roberts, who is inclined the same way, operates one of those Rent a Car U Drive It ' agencies. Traveler: This meeting at Delphi has indeed been interesting. You have told me much which I have desired to know about my friends. Time flies as the years roll away. I must be on my way, but some day I hope that I may have the good fortune of returning to hear more of my classmates of 1938. Oracle: I am glad that I have been able to help you. And now that our inter- view is over, may you have a prosperous trip, and God speed you to your native land. Farewell. Jean Carlisle Tony Scire 77 CLASS WILL Be it remembered that we, the Class of 1938, 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. After the payment of our just debts and graduation expenses, we bequeath and devise as follows: 1. To next year s Seniors, we leave the trials and tribulations of graduation. 2.

I Came I Saw I Conquered Priscilla Green Elliot Young THE VALEDICTORY YOUTH CARRIES ON By Mary A. Wall Wither goest thou? Youth must answer this question for America. Our gener- ation, having journeyed on the carefully mapped course of school life, stands at the crossroads. Well may youth, ere continuing its rapid strides into the future, pause to consider its priceless heritage. For we, the young people of today, are heirs to democracy with its inherent liberty, conceived in the minds of the founders of our country and purchased by the perseverance of the pilgrim fathers, the blood of the patriots, and the toil of the honest pioneer. This enviable treasure, bequeathed to us by the will of our ancestors, descends to us not unimpaired and shining in the full life of its origin but tarnished by accumulated social and economic problems and assailed by modern experimental governments which threaten to destroy it. If we are to preserve our great trust, we must honestly face the exacting duties allied with it. With the realization that this bequest is both a blessing and a respon- sibility, youth must now determine the course of our generation. In order that we may select the path leading to our permanent felicity, we must be informed. Since knowledge is power, the strength of the nation rests in the ability of its citizens to form prudent plans which will enable them to cope with the problems daily increasing in complexity. It is our task to dispel imminent poverty and agitation, to quell industrial and agrarian unrest. It is for us to discover the answers to the questions of production and consumption. Each young person must carefully form his own individual opinions so that the single conceptions, when combined, will create a beneficial public opinion, the director of democracy. For as future citizens, we will govern the United States from the green fields of the verdant East to the sun-kissed hills of the golden West. If we close our eyes to impending danger, we may be overthrown by perplexing questions or unwittingly drained of life by a gigantic octopus. If we are aware of the menacing problems, we shall be more capable of determining our goal and of contriving measure to attain it. As we choose our course, some try to persuade us to venture on new paths. On the right, there is a trail which leads to a government wherein the state is supreme. The advocates of this system offer to the youth of the world security, abundance, and prestige. Nevertheless, youth with clear vision sees that the once free people who yielded to scheming invitations are now suppressed by an iron hand. Even if youth ' s eyes were dimmed, its ears would detect the misfortunes of the dictator ' s regimentated people in the sound of marching feet and the boom of the cannon. In lands across the sea, tiny feet of children patter to the tune of martial music. The power offered for man ' s benefit is in reality strength for the state. Human power is created only to be destroyed in aggressive war pursuits. Today man lives for the state; tomorrow he dies for it. War conquers peace,- hatred overcomes love,- and the state, not mankind, is supreme. Youth turns its back on statism and marches on! Turning to the left, youth sees a path which leads to a domain wherein the inhabitants throw their possessions into a common hoard so that all may share in the golden wealth of the world. Once more we examine the offered gifts. We see the suffering of those who are prey to dishonest schemes. The records of history reveal that such Utopian devices are futile. After laboring for the overthrow of one 80 i dominating group, the people find themselves overriden by another form of autocracv with merely a different and often an ignorant, leader. In this type of government, man is subservient to a materialistic god. The greatest institution in the world, the family with its home wherein love and peace are enshrined, is destroyed. Man ' s initiative is crushed and a premium is placed on indolence. In reality, not greater wealth, but the prize of poverty is offered to our generation. Each of these paths would have us think that it leads to prestige, security, and a higher standard of living. But where, may we ask, do these advantages exist to a greater extent than in these, our own United States? In our own country, man ' s enterprise is applauded. We are able to obtain for ourselves not only the neces- sities of life but also innumerable luxuries. We have remarkable educational oppor- tunities. As citizens, we have the freedom to determine our own occupation, to practice our own religion, and to enjoy other countless privileges. These are the fruits of free enterprise in a democracy, a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Should youth then abandon the path of its fathers even though the road be rough? Rather, we should courageously travel the tried path, marked by the guide posts of our Constitution, an immortal document, created by the minds and hands of stable, unreproachable fathers and statesmen. These guide posts are the safeguards of our freedom and self-control. They assure us a life fertile with justice, liberty, and equality. Without observance of them and obedience to their direction we cannot keep on the path of democracy. Each succeeding generation has preserved the guides to democracy until today they implore us to defend them for ourselves and posterity. One hundred and three years ago tomorrow, when democratic government was comparatively young, on the occasion of the laying of the cornerstone of Bunker Hill monument, the brilliant orator, Daniel Webster, proclaimed. ' ' If in our case, the repre- sentative system ultimately fail, popular governments must be pronounced impossible. The last hope of mankind therefore rests with us. Well might he pronounce these same words to our generation. We, today ' s youth, spurred on by these judicious words, accept the charge. Marching on to meet the challenge of democracy we sincerely profess our creed: I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are de- rived from the consent of the governed,- a democracy in a republic, a sovereign nation of many sovereign states, a perfect union, one and inseparable, established upon those principles of freedom, equality justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacri- ficed their lives and fortunes. I, therefore, believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it aaainst all enemies. ' ' Mr. Evans, members of the School Committee, Mr. Pearce, and Teachers: As we bid farewell to Saugus High School, we express our gratitude to you for all your efforts, which have given us so valuable an education and also for your eager co- operation and friendly counsel which have made our school life profitable and happy. Mothers and Fathers: We appreciate and thank you for your sacrifices and the kind understanding which you have willingly offered for our benefit and education. In all our future undertakings, we will endeavor to be a credit to you and our school and we will strive to be loyal to our country and our God. 81 CLASS CDE Here we stand, dear Alma Mater On the border land of youth That has lured us from our childhood To the quest for living truth. As we gaze along the vista Of the varied scenes of time, There are valleys we must traverse, There are mountains we must climb. There are clouds and there is sunshine, There are smiles and there are tears, Scattered all along our pathway Leading through the coming years. With the power that knowledge gives us We can rise with spirit free, Until failure, fear, and sadness Turn to glorious victory.

Eleanor: This idea of a masquerade party was grand. Red: I agree. Well, for Pete ' s sake, take a look at this picture of Leona McLeod — one of our quiet girls! E.: And here ' s another of Malcolm Coulman. R.: Did you ever see the notes he wrote in Swedish . E.: Wonder why? (Laugh.) R.: And of all people — Alexander Johnny Bull ' ' Cubie! E.: I wonder if that class ring ever arrived in England? R.: Swampscott certainly has captured Mary Pendleton. E.: And Jerry ' ' Brazis our Most Beautiful Eleanor Frye — for keeps. R.: I wonder what the results of the Walton-Herald affair will be? E.: Bill Hampton appears to be quite a fellow with the ladies. Phil can tell you all about that! R.: Claire Madden, Estelle Harnden, and Cecilia Lanier proved to be our class triumvirate. E.: Here ' s Eleanor Reed, Barbara Wing, and Lucille Pugh. Mary could never have gotten along without their efficient help in the office. R.: What about Pat Babb and Dot Danields, too? E.: Eddie Merrithew seems to be off the gold standard, now. R.: Silver seems to interest him. And here ' s Evelyn Hutchinson, our class man-hater. E.: Oh yeah ' ? R.: Here ' s a picture cf Spero Kossivis. E.: Bet Mr. Gibbs can guarantee he II never kick the back out of any more chairs. R.: Who ' s this? Oh, it ' s Ralph Crozier, the violin virtuoso. E.: Ruth Snow! In four years all I can remember her having said is, May I borrow your ink? R.: John Chapman. I hear he steals lollypops from girls. E.: (Blush) I have often wanted to hint to Alvin Wheeler about a certain Police Captain ' s daughter. R.: Buddy McKay, one of our star athletes. E.: One of our star Freshman-Hunters ' you mean! R.: Guess Richard Long and Bob Evans ' s school-teacher sisters are the cause of their being on the retiring side. 84 E.: That ' s actress Mary Wall, the High School ' s Brain Trust. R.: Gloria Marano. They say she looked swell in the Style Show. I ' ll bet she did, too. Mentioning style shows reminds me of Mr. MacVicar ' s pet theroy that you can judge the prosperity of the times by the shortness of the ladies ' skirts! E.: Helen Nelson evidently has learned that The way to a man ' s heart is through his stomach. R.: Seems as though Phyllis Cheney and Anna Krzwicki have returned to their second childhood — with their pig-tails. E.: Jean Carlisle and Tony Scire, our worthy opponents, were the ones who said the Prophecy was to be better than the Quips. R.: Yeah, guess we II have to admit it, though. E.: This is Evelyn Nunan, isn ' t it — the East Saugus Flower Girl? R.: Look! John Muzichuck! Did you ever see the old jaloppy he and Pas- quariello used to ride around in? E.: No, but that reminds me — Miss Hayward has at last exchanged her ' old- faithful for a modern V-8. Ah-h-h-h. Jo Marshall. Wonder how her affair with Paul Marsden has progressed? Gee, I shouldn ' t have let that slip! R.: Shame! Alice Doyle and Winnie Gould always seemed to be ready with one of their witty remarks. E.: From all reports I gather Harriet Nolan, our Noisiest Girl, is indeed a discipline problem. R.: Ruth Snow, Marguerite Rhodes, and Hazel Kusch take the honors for being among the quietest members of our group. ■ E.: Evidently the Nish-Paine romance has been deeply rooted again. R.: Speaking of romances, Evie ' Floyd and Conrad seem to be heading the race. E.: Say-y-y, here ' s that tall, dark, and handsome Willard Buckless. R.: Quiet! Maybe Sanborn and Abbott won ' t like that. E.: And here ' s Count Wasserboehr. My, the Cashen-Stowell-Wasserboehr situation is indeed an eternal triangle. R.: Vera Clark and Norma Cochrane, Jean Melanson, and John Lindquist are fou r more members of the Silence Club. E.: Janet Lewell was the girl, wasn ' t she, who had the secret crush on Corey Lindgren? R.: Barbara Ash and Jennie Gosse. How deep still waters run! 85 E.: Speaking of running water — Saugus had its flood as well as other parts of the nation, didn ' t it Mr. Chadsey? R.: Audie Florence Nightingale Amidon can also cook. E.: I wonder if Miss Eyre didn ' t miss her calling. Her ministrations to a half- starved, homeless kitten a few months ago revealed another of her many capabilities. Burgess Bean — our Traffic Squad Romeo. R.: Victoria Berry. Eighteen-day diets don ' t interest her. E.: Ruth Low and Catherine O ' Connor are tops at the terpsichorean art. R.: Speaking of footwork — would you believe that Mr. McCullough is a mountain-climber? Ask Mr. Gibbs where he got his training. E.: Here ' s Paul Hayes and Kehneth Robertson — those very naughty boys with the angelic faces. R.: It ' s certain we will hear further from Evelyn Laskey, Phyllis Leonard, Irene Randall, and Norma Cochrane. E.: Howard Leek is apparently doing well by himself if one is to judge by those book-length notes he receives every day. R.: Ginie Comey. Do you realize her interest has been with the army nearly a year? E.: (Sigh) What it must be to be in love. R.: Heh, you should talk! E.: Kay Blundell and Bill Legrow. Wonder if that story will ever have a happy ending? R.: Did you ever see that pipe-smoking trio of Charles, Parker, and Greenlaw? E.: Do you suppose Al McAdoo was serious when he sang that love song to Ruth Fiske? R.: Kenneth Lady ' s Man Mitchell and Malcolm Michelangelo N icoll. E.: Ida Riley prefers Lynn to Saugus. R.: Savolainen plays hockey. E.: Yes, with spit balls! Alec Stewart, the Beau Brummel of the Sahico Club. R.: Turk Surabian. E.: (Innocently) Where did he get that name? R.: Quiet! Glad to see that Tommy Tresi I ian got by. E.: Corliss Van Horn. One of those quiet fellows with deep qualities as some girls have already discovered. 86 R.: Speaking of deep qualities — Is Tennessee in the deep South, Miss Wright? E.: Norman Yeo and Lenora Staples. Strange that we should pick them up together. R.: Harold Blanchard is a little on the egotistical side, is he not? E.: Russ Collamore, our Funniest Boy, sometimes gets pretty serious about some things. R.: Yes, Tommy can vouch for that. E.: Amelita DiPietro apparently prefers older company than that of us youngsters. R.: Brooksie, our Class President, has a spot in his heart for — E.: Two Green-Stones. Get it? R.: Here ' s your Papa, Fred Butler — in ' New Fires, I mean. E.: Joe Dirsa. I ve seen him butchering for the dear old Ecco. Art Grimes is there, too. R.: Eleanor Donahue is as bashful as Elizabeth Greenlaw is quiet. E.: Dow — Edward, John, and Roland — the Dow clan is well represented, isn ' t it? R.: Ruth Farnham and Ruth Sweeney blossomed into thespians in the Senior Play. E.: Here ' s Captain Fauci, one of the Sachem football squad. R.: Incidentally, Mr. Leahy is raising future football captains. E.: Fred Green and Fred Foster haven ' t been very active in class affairs this year. I wonder if it is because they had other interests? R.: Miriam Larkin and Cora Green supply our twin system. E.: Myra Hoyt will soon be leaving us and Harold for Concord, New Hamp- shire. R.: Hubert Kelley. Did I ever tell you about the time that Mr. Chadsey sug- gested that Barbara Stone work on chemistry in class and Kelley outside? E.: Virginia Junkins and Ralph Fisher. What lurks beneath those calm exteriors? R.: H owie Doc Kramer and Donald Bashful Humphries could be two of Snow White ' s Seven Dwarfs. E.: Tony Rossetti. Since he has had a part in keeping the school clean all year, we have placed him in the clean-up position in our quips. E. and R.: All characters and events in this skit are purely fictitious. Any similarity to characters living or dead is positively coincidental. Eleanor Sharp Robert Hill 87 caught ycu THAT TIME ROGER C. RICE LIFE INSURANCE Tel. Saugus 95-M W. D.
