NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY On June 25, 1930, rather unexpectedly to all concerned, the following members of our class, Ida Goliff, Frieda Klaiman, Ruth Ross, Donald McGranahan, and Raymond Perry, were inducted into the John W. Hutchins chapter of the National Honor Society. They were sworn in by John Haley, a member of the Honor Society of the Class of 1930-B. Although the membership of the society is small since our class itself is small, the members perfectly represent the ideals of the club. Each person eligible for membership is judged by a committee of the faculty for character, scholarship, leadership, and service to the school. Donald McGranahan has the distinction of having an all “A” record and has made a name for himself in athletics. He was also our first class president. Perry captained the football team, was a member of the baseball team, and in the cast of “Disraeli”. Freida Klaiman is a prominent member of the various musical organizations, and has held many offices in them. She is also a member of the “Blue and Gold” staff. Ida Goliff was our first class secretary, and is a class editor on the “Blue and Gold”. Ruth Ross is a prominent member and officer of various clubs, an active worker in the class, is on the “Blue and Gold” staff, and was formerly manager of the Girls’ Basketball Team. Ida Goliff has been chosen valedictorian, Donald McGranahan, saluta- torian, and Raymond Perry, orator. All of them ought to succeed in their future careers judging by their present achievements. 1931-A

One of the most interesting plays ever given in Malden High School was “Disraeli”, presented by the Senior Class. Disraeli, played by Nathan Schwartz was the outstanding character. He had his moments of humor, of pathos, and of seriousness. He made us love him, admire him, pity him, and sym¬ pathize with him. Close second to him was the adven¬ turess, Mrs. Travers, played by Thel¬ ma Fanjoy. So charming a villainess we have not seen in a long time and we couldn’t hate her, even though she caused Dizzy many bad moments. Ruth Knollin is an extremely charm¬ ing Clarissa. We could easily under¬ stand why Charles fell in love with her. Edith Glasser as Lady Beaconsfield, Dizzy’s wife, was an adorable and lovable woman, who worshipped her husband and was worshipped by him in return. Sir Michael Probert, (Zivan Simon- ian) gave his audience a few bad moments when he left them in doubt as to whether or not he was going to back Dizzy. Ernest Cosman, as Fol- jambe, was quite the villian. Albert Goldberg, as Hugh Myers, made the most of his dramatic moments. The other characters, too many to enumer¬ ate, were all well done. “Disraeli” will certainly go down in the history of the school as one of the finest plays presented in the Mal¬ den High School. 1931-A
