Treasurer flass Song Class of thirty-five now says farewell To this our school we love so well. Four happy years have glided by; And now we too must say good-bye. Oh years so fair through mem’ry’s haze. Those joyous, golden, bygone days, We’ll always, always tell of thee Our school and our dear faculty. And whether life brings joy or woe, And whether clouds may come or go, Obscure or famous be our lot, Friendships formed here are ne’er forgot. And as the seasons come and go, Time turns our hair silver as snow, Our thoughts will ever turn to home And school-days spent in Agawam. To-night we gladly sing thy praise, And loyal voices to thee raise, May we add lustre, not disgiacc To this our Alma Mater. Most wise, most true, most fair is she, Forever shrined in memory. Our voices raise in unison, Ilail, hail, to thee, hail Agawam.

We have successfully completed our four years of high school training, and we now feel better equipped to attain the goals we have set before ourselves. Outwardly, it is a joyous occasion for us; we have expectantly awaited this opportunity for a long time; yet underneath our hearts are tinged with sadness sadness because we must sever the bond that has held us so closely and happily together and because we must leave the school we love and all it has meant to us. We deeply regret that we have only words with which to express our gratitude to Mr. Phelps, Mr. Williams, and the school committee for their generous supervision and stimulating interest. We wish to thank the faculty for their ceaseless efforts, both in our class rooms and in our extra- curricula activities. They have been our friends and guiding influence. But you, the townspeople, have been the sustaining influence of us all. You have loyally supported our athletic teams and our social events. We thank each and every one of you. And now as we prepare to leave Agawam High School, we shall keep in mind all that you have done for us and try to thank you in the only way we know how to make an enviable mark in the world, which will prove to you that your support and loyalty to us was not in vain. Friends, every member of the ('lass of 1935 extends to you all, the sincciest of thanks and bids you a warm welcome to these twelfth commencement exercises of the Agawam High School. KARL BURNETT. To Ton Ptear Agawam At the twilight of the passing year, Our friendships hold and grow more dear. To them we cling as to our books, which bring Strange knowledge of the past. As we hear the golden bell of fancy Toll on the hours of toil, We leave the years of fun and frolic; And into master classes go. May thy creed of goodness help us; Deeds, and not words be our guide; And, as the dust of centuries brush us. May thy glory with us bide. VIVIAN E. CORDES. Y E A R B 0 0 K 19 3 5 19 The Oration This year commemorates the three hundredth anniversary of the establishment of the secondary education movement in America. In 1635 our forefathers founded at Boston the first free public high school in America the Boston Latin School. They had scarcely become settled in the new world before they began to think about the education of their children. This first movement for the establishment of secondary education spread so rapidly that by the close of the colonial period some provision for high school training had been made in all the colonies. The years rolled by and these thirteen then practically insignificant colonics developed into one of the world’s greatest and most formidable nations. Our country rapidly expanded—over the Alleghanies; across the Mississippi alley and rolling prairies; over the Rockies to the Pacific coast. And the system of secondary education followed closely on the heels of westward expansion. From this humble start in Boston in 1635 has grown the great American high school system of today. Necessary changes have been made to meet the demands of the social and industrial world. Curriculums have been reorganized, new courses introduced, instructional materials bettered and facilities improved; all as a result of the phcnominal growth of the country. The enrollment has increased tremendously. In 1880 there were 110,(XX) enrolled in high schools or only about 2.8 per cent of the population between the ages of thirteen andseventeen. In 1932 the enrollment was over five million or over 50per cent of this population. Between the years of 1910 and 1930 the high school grew eight times as fast as the population of our country. This is indeed then a memorable event which we celebrate this year; the three hundredth anni- versary of one of America’s greatest institutions. Today, educating our children is one of our nation’s few billion dollar projects. The question has quite naturally arisen as to whether the benefits derived from this seemingly expensive enter- prise justifies the huge expenditure. Isn’t the elementary school sufficient? These are good questions but they are not difficult to answer in a democracy. The elementary schools instruct the children in the fundamental skills—reading, writing and arithmetic—and merely introduce them to the complex structure of the everyday world. They learn that our country is ruled by a form of democratic government but they do not realize how or why it is governed in this manner. These children have only read the first chapter of the voluminous book of knowledge. At this stage of education their minds are pliable and are dependent upon the training and guidance which follows. Also, the elementary school cares for the youth of America only between the ages of five and eleven or twelve. What can a child of this age do cither outside or within the home? Me is inadequate both socially and vocationally. It would be tragic to sever the child’s education at this point because he is not prepared; he has got only the first insight into learning. The high school is the place for these children. In the present set-up of society there is no better place for a child of this age than in the high school. There is no place for him at home; there is no place for him in the economic woild. A decade or so ago a child leaving school early would either be absorbed in the work-a-day world or enter into an apprenticeship under some master tradesman and learn a trade. But now this cannot be done. Laws in most states prohibit child labor and there is no longer a system of apprenticeship. Thus the youth is left to roam the streets and drift into bad practices. The high school is one of the most important institutions in America. Think what it covers; first, building health; second, worthy home membership; third, mastery of fundamental processes: fourth, proper use of leisure time; fifth, training in citizenship;sixth, ethical training; and seventh, guidance into vocations. These are often listed as the seven cardinal principles of education. It is the training that will develop fine respectable citizens, fully equipped to face life. Some of these aims of the high school may need a word of explanation or, perhaps, for the skeptical, a bit of proof. A good portion of the school’s time is devoted toward the building of health. Through the various athletic games and physical education classes the value of team work, clean play and system- 20 A G A W A M II I G H SCHOOL atic physical training is realized. The biology and hygiene classes point the way to clean life and energetic, healthy bodies. A supervisory medical clinic is maintained, watching over the students for symptoms of contagious and infectious diseases, and to care for the minor ailments. The health building program is one of the high school’s important benefits to both the students,and the com- munity it serves. Training in the profitable use of leisure time is another valuable objective of the secondary school. Participation in the clubs, athletic teams, and other extra-curricula activities provide the students with interests, and hobbies for spare time.Outside assignments, and special projects stimu- late new ways of leisure time occupation. By contrasting the common characteristics and differences of people and civilizations with ours, the students are forced to realize the advantage of a high standard of life. Traditions of free speech, a religious freedom, formulas and pi incipies of democracy, and problems of life both rural and urban are taught, training each student to step into his niche in life and help to make this great country a finer and a happier place to live in. The government of our country depends on an enlightened citizenry. An illiterate nation cannot be governed by a democratic government; if attempted, anarchy will result. The aristocracies of old Europe arc crumbling into insignificance as the once loyal subjects of the kings are becoming educated. Therefore, the governmental status of the United States demands that our posterity be educated—especially along civic and social lines. The high school offers this education; it develops social unity, and integration. The primary objective of the modern high school is to develop character. There is character training in the whole set-up of the institution. The social contact of the students, both within the school and with neighboring schools is an important means of promoting the development of charac- ter and culture. Within the school they face a most powerful influence, instrumental in building character—public opinion. Special emphasis is given in the literature classes on charactei analysis. Student organizations such as the Student Council, and Leaders’Club stimulate desirable character- istics in students. The athletic program makes a noteworthy contribution in this field. Character education is the chief consideration of education today and is bound to receive increased attention in the school program. The part of the high school’s program devoted to the guidance of pupils is of vital importance. In this age of great diversification in industry and professions, boys and girls are confronted with a difficult task in selecting a life’s work. A student having finished elementary school has become only partially acquainted with these many fields of endeavor and as a result his mind is in a state of bewilderment. If he secs some famed aviator doing stunt flying he becomes determined to be another Jimmy Doolittle or Wiley Post without knowing what such a vocation entails. If he left school at this early age, he would pick up the first job he found, which in many cases would be a blind alley- job. Thus, his natural aptitudes would be wasted. The modern high school discovers the student’s powers, interests, aptitudes, and capacities and guides the student accordingly. There is the commer- cial department for those interested in business. The agiicultural division presents an excellent chance for students interested in farm work and farm management. A liberal education is offered the rest of the students which includes advance study of English, music, art, mathematics, science, history, elementary courses in foreign languages, dramatics, domestic science, manual arts, and economics, plus many extra-curricula activities a sound, varied education offered for those intending to further their knowledge at higher schools of learning. The high school presents a course of study meant to discover and develop the student’s capacities and guide him into a happyr and effective adult career. So in these difficult times of our country; in these times of strict economy and gloom}' forecast; let us not forget that people have struggled through depressions before and have come through with a confident spirit, and an unfaltering determination to carry on the American traditions. Let us do the same. The light of prosperity cannot be far off. We must attack these obstacles confront- ing us in an intelligent manner. And let us not forget, in these times, that the high school must have the conscientious cooperation of all citizens. It survives and evolves on their loyal support and interest. KARL BURNETT.

Now I am going to turn the program over to our announcer who will interview Charles Fcrrcro senior manager of the 1934 football team. Announcer: Would you mind giving the radio audience an idea as to what type of teams you had at Agawam during your four years of high school? C. F. Now don’t think that I am boasting when I say that during those four years we had some of the best teams in the history of Agawam High School. In our Freshman year we had fine teams in football, basketball and baseball. Our football team that year, breezed through their schedule with a perfect record. It was undefeated, untied, and unscorcd upon. During our Sophomore year the athletic teams continued in their successful ways. Although our football team did not acquire a perfect record, they were judged as the best team in Western Massachusetts. This was the first time that Agawam was given this honor. The football, basketball and baseball teams did not enjoy successful seasons in our Junior year. The football team was defeated twice and tied once. In our Senior year the teams were very successful. The football team regained the champion- ship pedestal, which they had relinquished the preceding season, by completing their schedule with a perfect record. The basketball team after a fine season played brilliantly at the M. S. C. Tournament but were defeated in the final game. The baseball, and track teams also had good records. Announcer: Can you remember the names of the boys in your class who played on these teams: C. F. Yes. They were Tisdcl, Augustino, Ross, Grady, Ferranti, Fossa, Bitgood, Stocker, Skinner, Lctellier, Morris, Spear, Levesque, Ferrero and Alvigini. Announcer: Thank you, Charlie. You have just heard the anniversary program of the class of 1935. We hope you all enjoyed it. This is station A. II. S. signing off. Good night. MYRTLE FRENCH, JULIO ALVIGINI. (Year 1945.) Master of Ceremonies: Ladies and Gentlemen, tonight you will be conducted on a world tour on the magic carpet of two Hindus. Their carpet is equipped with special televisional rays, through which they are able to see what is happening in the different countries which they visit. They take this trip primarily to inform the audience about what the members of the Class of 1935 arc now doing. We find ourselves over Agawam! (Curtain opens.) 24 A G A W A M II I (I II S C II () () I. Verne: Look! There is Ethelyn White, who is teaching spelling in the High School. Our child prodigy, Edward Meyer, has taken Miss Andrews’ place, and is teaching English at the High School. Belinda: Floating slightly northward, over the wilds of North Agawam, we find a flourishing restaurant being operated by Annie Tinti, on the site of the one formerly owned by her parents. Verne: Going still further northward, we see that Angelina Massa is raising a healthy family of cheer leaders in Greenfield. Belinda: We fly eastward—eastward, to Boston. Here is Grace Burr, an accomplished pianist at the Conservatory of Music. In a suburb of this New England metropolis, Richard Ross is being proclaimed the winner of a marathon dance. Verne: With lightning-like rapidity, we zoom across the Atlantic waters to England. Eleanor Kent has ridden to fame and prosperity on the broad back of a horse by coming in first in a steeple- chase. Belinda: A great human life-story is just hot off the press. The book is entitled, “The Other 1’hrcc Musketeers,” and was written in collaboration by Pauline llafka and Constance Lavoie. Verne: In a vast hall, a great orator is delivering a pulse-stirring speech—it is Mary Morris. Belinda: We drift northward to Scotland, where we perceive a traveler—Barbara Phelps is still in the pursuit of acquaintance with foreign correspondents. Verne: We hop across the English Channel to Holland. Bertha Ccsan has taken up landscape gardening, and is trying to create more mountains in Holland. In a silent, dimly-lit room in an art museum, we find Belinda Yandersingcl, deeply absorbed in her favorite study, Art. Belinda: Crossing the border, and flying over Germany, we sight a large white building. On closer inspection, we sec that it is Frank Morris’ “Kill or Cure” hospital. In this hospital, Donald Goss is head Chemist. Verne: In the field of German Biology, Ernest Tarnuzzer has found a means of raising centi- pedes with only 50 legs. Ernestine Breuninger, also, is in Germany, and she is visiting relatives. Belinda: Our carpet follows the course of the Rhine River, down over the bright lights of France. Wc hear voices, and find, upon investigation, that Gertrude Goyette is an interpreter for a group of American student tourists. Verne: Wc glance over a French newspaper and a column entitled, “Fashionable Fancies,” holds our attention. This column is edited by our blonde classmate, Marion Roberts. She gets her information from the foremost fashion designer, Norma Tarnuzzer. Belinda: Irma Hromada is a prosperous hairdresser in Paris. Taking a peck into a famous hos- pital, wc sec Mildred Neill busily doing her part as a nurse. Verne: We hear music which is traced to a fashionable resort. Here wc find the orchestra of Walter Kellogg. At this moment, a piano solo is being featured, played by Dewayne Raynor. Belinda: Flying towards Spain, we notice clouds of dust on the horizon. The cause of it is a great bull fight, the bulls for which are being raised by Alvcra Christopher. Ronald King is a strong and graceful bull fighter, having had many tussles with ferocious beasts before. After the bull fight, an entertainment is presented, in which Jacquelyn Clark is a Spanish dancer. Verve: We hop across the Mediterranean Sea to sunny Italy, where Felix Augustino is running a prosperous wine business. Vera Piazzo is studying the works of old Italian masters of Art. Marina Chiapuzzi is occupied with nursing the sick. Belinda: 'Flic carpet travels eastward to Greece, the land of Gods and gladiators. Here, Lydia Grocco is defending the American people in the Olympics. Myron Moraczewski is studying sculpture, and is finding many fine models in the Olympic contestants. Verne: In Russia, further to the North, a dazzling blonde dancer is being cheered by a roaring Russian audience. She is Ingrid Paulson. We see Harry Stocker here, at this performance, who turns out to be a newspaper reporter for the New York Tattler, a New York newspaper which is edited by Elmer Lctellicr. William Madden is photographer for this paper. Belinda: Wc learn that Amic Levesque is exiled in Siberia for failure to carry through his newspaper route among the Russians. Verne: We flash across the heavens to India, land of mysticism. To the tunc of magic Indian flutes, being played by Harlan Atwood, Myrtle French is charming the most poisonous of all snakes, the cobra. Y K A R BOOK 1 9 3 5 25 Belinda: We breeze along to China, where we sec Clarence Holloway sitting on the great Chinese Wall, trying to rehearse his sermon for the next prayer meeting which he will conduct. He is a Quaker missionary among the heathens. Verne: We slowly drift over to Australia, where James Davis presides over a large cattle ranch. Belinda: As we leave the shores of Australia and dash with the speed of an arrow toward Alaska, We float over the Hawaiian Islands. There, below, is Vivian Cordcs swimming from one island to another, just to keep up that form she so desires. Verne: We drift to Alaska, where Ruth Tayloi is nursing the natives, in return for which she is paid with strings of beads and woven baskets. She hasn’t yet struck gold. Belinda: As we soar over the North Pole, we can see a small expedition exploring the northern wastes. Karl Burnett is in this group, holding the position of chief radio operator. Verne Spear and Kenneth Grady arc two aviators who arc bringing supplies to this small band of hermits. Verne: After leaving the Arctic region, we move on to the western coast of the United States, where we find none other than Merrill Tisdcl, crooning over station BOO. Here, also, is Geraldine Rising, the greatest living dramatic actress, being driven by her chauffeur, John Bitgood, to the premiere of a moving picture in which Alvin Kellogg has the leading role, and Bertha Xaccwicz is taking Jean Harlow’s place and has the other lead. Belinda: Further down the coast, at San Diego, we find Florence Raschi, working as a hat check girl at a notorious night club. Verne: We float across the Rockies and over Chicago, and there is Edna Salani pounding the keys of a typewriter in a business office. Belinda: Now we follow the course of the Mississippi River, and at St. Louis we find Marion Schwartz and William Ferranti bringing up some little St. Louis Cardinals. Verne■ At the mouth of the spreading river, in New Orleans, we find Arland Skinner, who is performing in a circus to the delight of the audience. Belinda: Now we cross over to our national Capitol, where we hear Elaine Cordes filibustering in the Senate chamber. There, we also find Arthur Loomis, a rising Senator. Verne: We skim up the eastern coast to Baltimore, where we find Eleanor Fickweiler and Everett Ferrell living in Holy Matrimony. Belinda: In Pittsburgh, Donald Loncto is running a flourishing chromium factory. Verne: At New York, in the office of the New York Tattler, a widely-iead newspaper, we find Stella Sulborski writing a poetry column for the paper. We also find Alice Solaroli, a governess for children, and Rudolph Fossa who is still squeezing his “squeeze-box.” Belinda: Charles Ferrero is also in New York at the present, still trying to find a beautiful stenographer to type some book reports. Verne: At Hartford, we get a glimpse of Julio Alvigini throwing airplane parts together and calling the finished products “Sure-Comc-Down-Planes.” Edith Scherpa is a nurse in Hartford. Belinda: W ell, here we are back in Agawam, where we see Vivian Masterson as town nurse, Edith Buoniconti an unemployed typist, Lorraine Kenney and Agnes Devecchi going about the town as silent as ever, trying to see which one can be most silent, and out in Feeding Hills, to the tune of the Chicken Reel, we find V iola Naccwicz running old-fashioned dances. Master of Ceremonies: Ladies and Gentlemen, the town of Agawam should be proud to have sent into the world, as was just shown, such successful men and women. I’m sure the Class of 1935 has proved itself worthy of its education. I thank you. 26 A G A W A M H I G H S C II 001, [lass Will Time—1935. Place—Lawyer’s Office. Characters— Lawyer: Charles Ferrero.

ELEANOR KENT Being with the teachers Is Eleanor’s delight, So we give her this stationery So that she’ll “be sure to write.” RONALD KING We think you need some garters, Although you don’t agree; But surely these will please you— Just try them on and sec! CONSTANCE LAVOIE A bright red bow we give to Connie Because she is so small. We know that now we’ll be sure to see her When she comes walking down the hall.

VIVIAN MASTKRSON Cook book Vivian is a busy maiden, One who just loves to cook. If by chance she forgets the mixture, She's find the recipe in this book. EDWARD MEYER We think Eddie should be much taller, Although growing is no cinch. This ruler will measure his exact height When he starts growing, inch by inch. Ruler MYRON MORACZEWSKI Myron needs this little badge, So he can show his authority. Now he can be his brother’s boss, And also rule the majority. Badge FRANK MORRIS A dictionary foi Frank Morris, To aid him in his talks, Should he become stage-conscious, And his brain just “up and balks.” Dictionary MARY MORRIS Mary is good in all her studies Except Latin, that language of old. Here is an “A” for that one subject, To put her on the honor roll. “A” in Latin BERTHA NACEWICZ Bertha always blushes When called upon to recite. Here is some powder to cover it up, And turn the red to white. Powder VIOLA NACEWICZ The old-fashioned dances Give Viola much joy, And this drum should remind her Of her dear drummer boy.

INGRID PAULSON Ingrid is a very fine dancer And loves to keep time with the blues, And so, to help her out a bit, We bring her this new pair of shoes. BARBARA PHELPS Bob likes to gather hankies Of rare color and design. This is sure very rare And should suit her just fine. VERA PIAZZO In English class you always talk To Edna, who sits quite near you. A telephone would be less noisy, And disturbance would discontinue. FLORENCE RASCHI Florence has tried so veiy hard To lose a lot of weight. To aid her in her struggle, Here are some roller skates. DEWAYNE RAYONOR Dave pounds the keys so very loud, It almost always shakes the house. We think perhaps a large soft pedal Will make it quiet as a mouse. GERALDINE RISING Ticket The stage is Jimmie’s great ambition. Be a success? She really could! To get her to her destination, Here’s a ticket to Hollywood. MARION ROBERTS We hardly hear you when you speak— Your voice is always soft. This megaphone will raise your tone, And you’ll be heard aloft. RICHARD ROSS Since curly hair is all the rage, Dick Ross is surely right in style; But should his wave grow straight with age, This curling iron’s quite worthwhile. EDNA SALANI The school bell pealed out 9 o’clock; The students said a prayer. This alarm clock is what Edna needs, For Edna wasn’t there. EDITH SCHERPA Nurses’ needs are very few, But one thing is needed in every case. This thermometer will fill the bill, And may be used at the very first place. Whistle Shoes Kerchief Telephone Roller skates Soft pedal to Hollywood Megaphone Curling iron Alarm clock Thermometer 34 A G A W A M H I G H SCHOOL MARION SCHWARTZ Marion is very good in sports, And is always on the team. We think she deserves some numerals Because of skill supreme. ARLAN SKINNER When it comes to writing poetry, Arlan can’t make dim The shining ability of Tennyson, Whose poems we give to him. ALICE SOLAROLI Alice’s one daily duty Is looking in a mirror. So she will not neglect this job, She must keep this one near her. VERNE SPEAR “Happy landings!” We all exclaim. For Verne is pilot Of this ’plane. HARRY STOCKER Harry’s jokes are seldom new, And hardly ever wise. We hope he’ll take a look at these. They’ll open up his eyes! STELLA SULBORSKI Stella’s hair of flaming red Perhaps will fade some day. This titian dye will keep it bright, When she starts getting gray. ERNEST TARNUZZER Yeast cakes are famous for raising things, So here’s one as Ernie’s gift. We hope it will help his very deep voice., And give it quite a lift. NORMA TARNUZZER Norma is really the best-dressed girl. To this, I’m sure we all agree. 'Phis trunk will help her pack her clothes Quite neat, and nice, and daintily. RUTH TAYLOR This rolling pin, we know you’ll need In future years to come, To use on Verne, just in case Filings begin to hum. ANNIE TIN'TI Annie works both day and night, And often she is slightly late. Because she is in need of time, We think this quite appropriate. MERRILL TISDEL Here’s a little box of Pep To keep you wide-awake, When, in Economics class, A nap you’d like to take.
