H. S. 8 THE TATTLETALE To fhc Editor: May I use the medium of this publication to thank the parents, pupils and teachers for the splendid co-operation they have given m.e during the time I have been principal of the Attlcboro High School. As I think of the large number of pupils who have been graduated from the Attleboro High School and been successful in business and col- lege life, I think of a group who were not easily satisfied, who were eager for the best, and so moved on to new thoughts, new acts, and new methods of work. Their success has been due to their willingness to take a chance. All leaders have been characteristically willing to take a chance. The man who always plays safe, stays still, or follows, does not succeed. I et me leave this message to my friends in the Attleboro High School. Do not become too easily satisfied, or you will never reach your capacity of efficiency in any kind of work. Sincerely, CHARLES O. DALRYMPLE THE TATTLETALE 9 CHARLES O. DALRYMPLE When school reopens in September, there will have departed from our midst a character of whom we are unable to speak too highly. Thus, to the principal, to the sportsman, to the edu- cator, to the friend, and to the gentleman, the Attleboro High School extends its fond farewell. —THE EDITOR 10 THE TATTLETALE Class Motto: Deeds, Not Words Class Colors: Green and Silver Honor Roll (In Order Received) LOIS AMY BROWN MAZIE OBRIST LOIS ALISON STUDLEY HAZEL RUTH DENZER DOROTHY LOUISE SHEPARD JOSEPH FRANCIS KEIL MURIEL WILLIAMS FULLER MARGARET ELLEN McBRIEN MARJORIE HOPE SCOTT VIRGINIA BRIDGES ELEANOR WOLFENDEN GUILD FRIEDA BELLON RUTH PRISCILLA WHITTEMORE PHILIP ATHANAS ROY WALTER NELSON MILDRED EVELYN WARDROBE ALVIN HOWELL PARKER ERVIN EDWARD GROSS, JR.

FLORENCE TABBERNER ELLIS RIETZEL WILLIAM WHITE 52 THE TATTLETALE Class Prop] One nice day (as we did have a few good days in Attle- boro) as we were oiling our rusty nieriy-go-round to the tune of The Old Gray Mare Ain ' t What She Used to Be we received a C. O. D. telegram from Billie White who was the editor of the Chicago Tribune in that city. He said business was booming out there and asked us to hike right out — he knew we didn ' t have train fare. We dropped our leaky oil-cups, packed our belongings in a red handkerchief and made a sprint for the freight yards with Sheriff Joe O ' Donnell, better known as Homely Sher- lock, the Disinfectant, on our heels. We didn ' t bother to look around but we knew it was Joe because we could hear his dandruff clanking on the pavement. We climbed aboard our Boxcario special and waved a sad adieu to Joe as he tripped on his badge and fell through an open trestle. We thought we heard a lion roaring but on looking around we discovered is was only Austin Smith, Billie Lewis and Ritchie Alexander sleeping in the corner of the car. They were all curled up except Billie — he couldn ' t. Tony Caranicolas was there too. He stepped on a rattle- snake which bit him and dropped dead. To our surprise when we looked out we saw Chet Ashley, Marjorie Barrett, Frieda Bellon and Alaybelle Spriggs in hot pursuit on a handcar. Herbert Brown and Edna Lewis were enjoying the rumble seat. Every time we went down a hill they caught up to us. When we got off at Cowbell Junction, we noticed AValter Amos, Chick Wilmarth and Robert Rohman had ridden the rods underneath all the way. They went to the newsstand to buy a North Attleboro Chronicle to find out how the Civil War came out. The next thing we saw was Bill Dunlap with his fingers caught in a slot machine on the platform. In the depot we met Tom Swift Wallace and Ed Baton arguing over which of them had missed the cuspidor. To our surprise, as well as to our disgust, we learned that Ervin Gross was mayor of, and practically owned, the town. Just then we heard the train pulling out but we missed it by about two feet. 20,000 railroad ties later we reached Chicago. Upon our arrival at the freight yards we were welcomed by the prominent .state troopers, Ellis Reitzel and Ray Wing. When the patrol wagon, driven by Joe Keil, arrived we were completely carried away with it. Thirty days later we were back in circulation again. We borrowed some money from Tommy ALartin (although we had to knock him down once or twice to do so) and went to the movies. We got in just in time to see Mike and Pete Tartarian sneak in the rear door, probably from force of habit. The picture was The Ace of Lovers with Waldo Sandberg and Virginia Merrill playing opposite. In the news reel we saw Rosella Berry, Rita Lane and Hazel Denzer in the Palm Beach bathing Beauty Contest which was judged by Marhall Field and Art Wheaton. When the curtain fell we found it had dropped on stage-hand Vinney Kelley. Next came the vaudevill e. First was the tin voiced tenor, Bobby Rounse- ville. He sang Rock Me to Sleep which they did with one that weighed about nine pounds. We crossed the street to Ye Old Posey Shoppe under the proprietorship of Ruth Whittemore, Mazie Obrist and ecy— 1931 Helen Richardson, to buy a cactus bouquet to send to Dot Patt who was marrying Robert Spinney the next day. Then we crawled across the street to the other gutter keeping low to avoid the continuous rain of bottles from Charlie Peter- son ' s bar-room. The place was being raided by the vice- squad headed by Julia Martin and Marjorie Herkis because they hadn ' t received their weekly graft. The place had been padlocked so often that the doors were beginning to sag. About ten minutes later we were arrested by Frank Burt, a reserve dog officer, and charged with fragrancy for robbing a perfume counter. We went to the mayor and seized him by the hand, offered him a certified Cremo and said importantly, Oh, that ' s all right; we ' re friends of Philip Athanas and he shouts right back, Boys, I ' ll give you twenty-four hours to leave town. Thereupon we decided to roller-skate to the North Pole. When we got there we were all pretty tired except Bisko, he was sitting down most of the way. Soon after we heard sweet voices coming from an igloo, an eskimo night club. Who should we see dancing inside when we entered but Dot Johnston, Mildred Case, Katherine Kerr and Dot Boyle included in the list of ten beautiful women. They were dancing to the tune of Annie Laurie, one of the latest dance numbers. Eleanor Guild brought us the menu and hung around for a tip till Rice gave her his nickel (the same one he used to flash about high school.) While we were sipping wobble water we looked up just in time to see Rita Bussiere and Brita Bergh stagger in with a couple of Eskimo boy friends. Tite Cosgrove, their chaperon, arrived several hours later. Upon leaving the joint we bumped into what we thought to be a pair of Polar bears only to discover it was Frank Bregnard and Frances Roberts. Later we came upon Wilma MacPherson and Barbara Collins posing for their photos against the North Pole. They were being snapped by Alvin Parker and Dot Cate, two promising young scandal sheet editors. On the opposite side of the Pole Virginia Dunn and Miriam Potter were busy carving their initials. From here we went over to visit Gordon Johnston and Betty Lamb who had just set up igloo-keeping. They asked us to stay for dinner but on remembering that Betty took cooking lessons in school we polite ly declined. When managers Ruth Chace and Helen Carr of the Glacier Hotel informed us that our bill was due we immediately left for Africa, the land of shifting sands and shiftless people. After we arrived we received a night letter that Phil Athanas was hot on our trail for breaking up Roy Nelson ' s Vice Ring. So we hired three drive-them-yourself camels and set out for Clicky Holt ' s harem. Clicky was out sheiking when we arrived so we helped ourselves to a wife. Among the beautiful girls were Lilla Richards, Kitty Reetz, Muriel Hinds, Mary Healy and Virginia Redding. While we were enjoying the scenery, Thelma Pierce, Gwendolyn Lander, and Myrtle Worden came around looking for their husband. Red Torrey. When he knew Clicky was out to a lodge meeting he always dropped in. While we were under the influence of beautiful girls, who THE TATTLETALE 53 should tear the door from its hinges but Lois Studley, Holt ' s favorite mother-in-law. Then we thought that we had better leave for Gay Paree and just as we went out the back door we saw Phil Athanas come in the front. We knew that if Phil saw the women that would give us a three days start. We hiked our way across the Mediterranean and bummed our way to Paris. Upon our arrival we were, as usual, noticed by the pohce and fled to the sewers and were shown through them by Howard Rounseville and his gun- moll Virginia Bridges. Three manholes later we came up through a trap-door in Evelyn Broadbent ' s and Myrtice Bradshaw ' s night club only to see Dot Dumican and her gigolo Bert Corbett dancing in a dimly lighted corner. We pulled up at a table to find that Muriel Fuller and Evelyn Sinclair were there before us but we were respectable bums at least so we moved to the next table and were served by Marg Scott and Madeline Faulkner. The feature of the evening was Roger Guimond and Marian Conant who were dancing the adagio. After he threw the girl for about ten loops. Bond decided to put a stop to this bloody brawl but he leaned over an uppercut and lost two teeth. Patricia Barrett and Glenna Bates dragged the body out to Edna Finnegan ' s undertaking establishment. A few minutes later Bisco, enthralled by the music, rose to his feet and in the middle of the dance floor began swaying to the rythm. First he took his coat and shirt off and commenced to remove his shoes but at that point the paint started to peel from the walls and the proprietors, Myrtice and Evelyn, pulled the secret trapdoor and gently let him through. So I had to go on alone. The next day I encountered Frankie Angevine and to- gether we secured seats at the Follies Bergere. We got there early and got the best seats in the house although it did hurt our necks to look up at the stage all of the time. The first act was a French Boudoir scene starring Mildred and Muriel Jones. The usher had to push Frankie down off the stage three times and finally kicked us out. As we passed by the laboratories of that eminent scientist, Lois Brown, she came running out and announced that she had just (Hscovered a serum that would cure flirts. So we gave Angevine an innoculation of it and although we knew it was practically impossible to cure that patient, she called the experiment a success .... for he never regained consciousness. The next place I visited in Paris was Madam Ward- robe ' s style show at the Rue de la Paix. That lady had all the fellows and most of the cops on the avenue after the models. During the show several people wore trampled to death and I still have a Wingfoot heel print in my face to prove it. Three of the models, Florence Tabberner, Marga- ret McBrien and Natalie Pollard were discovered missing so I hired Richard Quimby and his Austin to go and hunt for them. We dodged the manhole covers till finally we ran over Luther Carter ' s legs who was sleeping in the gutter and broke the rear axle. I read later where they ran three miles with Wendell Nerney after them and jumped off the cliffs into the Engli.sh Channel. This was probably the first attempt ever made to jump the English Channel. Now I began to yearn for the music of the old merry-go- round and my home in the city dump so I determined to swim the Atlantic. As I swam along I thought of all my friends and creditors at home but in the midst of such dreams some fisher girls hailed me and offered to row me to Bermuda. Not until the seaweed and halibut has been washed from their faces did I recognize Virginia Becker, Gladys Cliff and Genevieve Duffy. From Bermuda, Eleanor Brown, the aviatrix who first made a non-stop, no-stowaway flight around the world, picked me up and dropped me in my own back yard with two broken legs. After six weeks in the Dot Shepherd Homeopathic Ward enjoying free meals and Eileen Henry as a night nurse, I at last looked upon my cottage only to find that it had been closed by the Board of Health. PRIZE ESSAYS An Essay on Infinity (Lux mundi) As we gaze into the azure sky of a midsummer day, or into the brilliant constellations of a cloudless evening, we may wonder what phenomena awaits us in simple futurity. The human mind, thus far highly developed, is still incapable of a continuous thought on this subject. Have you ever started to think off into space or infinity and find that your cobweb of brain matter soon becomes afraid to delve further into the mysterious? We must strain our- selves to strengthen our thinking power. j What fantastic composition can be written regarding this matter? I will give you my imaginative, fallible, ambiguous ideas upon this unexplored trend of thought. Upon death ' s absconding the soul from the human body, does it merely dissolve into nothingness, or does it live on in the infinite heavens above, or mayhap the un- popular regions below. The second of these suppositions could easily be proven if we could but explore the infinite. The first we would fe ar to dwell upon. Of course we hope that we may receive eternal life, but I will not attempt to delve into the tenets of theologians. In imagination we dream mayhap of countless other universes, separated from each other by millions of miles of dense ether. If we should fly straight skyward for miles and miles, we would gradually become axphyxiated for want of oxygen, and unless we turned back, we would be irrevocably lost, in the lung destroying ether. My idea is that we must try to procure the proper antidote to transmute this innavigable ether into navigable 54 THE TATTLETALE space. If by some hook or crook, one were able to find this antidote in the future, one would perhaps be able to under- stand the following suppositions. Let us take a huge steel craft about the size of a dirigible, supp lied with such in- ventions as gravity stabilizers (if they were invented) and a huge tube on the nose of the ship would spray (.r+the un- known substance) into the ether to transform it into a composition of weight resisting ether navigable by the motors of man. This idea is purely imaginative and perhaps improbable, but it does no harm to discuss the subject. Perhaps if we were to succeed in this plan we might gain the source of the mystery of humanity, the understanding of which no human has ever mastered. Great wizards such as Einstein, Stein- metz, Darwin and Socrates have had the strength of mind to discuss these subjects and have amazed and upset the scientific world with their theories, but what the modern world wants is action. This world of ours is the most silly place when it comes to anything new and it must be made to realize that we must e xperiment in such mystery, in order to gain a knowledge of the mystifying source of creation. Will the world ever wake up out of its daze of incredulity and forget to say that such ideas on this subject were certainly written by some person whose language is terribly equivocal and whose state of mind is probably losing all equanimity and is beyond all hope of recovering sanity. Quod erat demonstrandum. Robert Field Rounseville Going Home Going home! Going home! That ' s all my heart has been singing today. I ' m so happy I ' ve been shouting it to everyone, I ' m going home tomorrow! It has seemed so far away and now it ' s so near. Haven ' t those two words got the most beautiful meaning? They symbolize so much to a man who has been condemned to life in a prison camp in the loneliest part of the world. You don ' t realize all you mean when you say them. I never did, either, until I knew I couldn ' t go home and then they became the sweetest words ever spoken. Men down here in this forsaken place are hard, but there are two words that bring tears to their eyes when they ' re uttered — going home. Can ' t you just picture these homes? some in squalid tenements, some in the rolling hills, some in the crowded city, some by the sea, and some that are beyond recollection. If men down here did not have a home to think about, no matter how poor and wretched, why, they ' d go raving mad. I ' ve seen them that way, too — raving mad. Oh, it ' s one of the most horrible sights ever witnessed. I ' ll be so glad when I ' m within the peaceful walls of my home and won ' t have to see and hear such terrible sights. I ' ve suffered long enough — and for nothing. After serving sixteen years in this maddening place, I ' ve been pardoned for something I never did. But I don ' t blame the world. It ' s just a blind innocent place, but it ' s home to everyone, even me. Home! Oh, I can just picture it as it was when every- thing was happy there. It was the most comfortable place. Not surrounded by miles of carefully mowed lawns, but encircled by the sweetest and greenest grass. Not decorated with grand gardens, but patclied here and tliere with tiny old-fashion fiower gardens that Mother tended with her never-ending patience. It was just a small white cottage on the edge of the sea with a narrow, winding, dirt road passing by the front gate. When Mother was a child .she planted vines around the homestead and they grew up and covered the shining white surface. People don ' t realize what they mean when they say home. Oh, it ' s just the most beautiful word in this world. It means love, comfort, happiness, peace, beauty, and a thousand other wonderful things. Folks who have homes to go to when their daily toil is ended don ' t appreciate them — I never did. I can remember when I was a young lad how I used to dread going home before midnight struck. It didn ' t mean anything to me then, but it was just the same as it is today — only I didn ' t realize it. Why, who wanted to go home to a quiet, dull, monotonous evening when bright lights, dancing, and gaiety were calling him? Home means love. And love means Mother. How I dream of her. She was a quiet, stooping, white-haired lady with the sweetest little face and a flush on her plump cheeks when last I saw her. And how she loved to comfort .someone. I can remember the time I came home crying because a big fellow had knocked me into the gutter. She held me in her arms and said, Jim, dear, don ' t cry over a tiny knock like that. Straighten back your shoulders! Hold up your head! Smile! You ' re going to take more than one knock in this world and you ' ve got to take them with your head up, your shoulders back, and with a smile on your lips. Don ' t forget it, Jim. And I never have. Mother. I ' ve had more than my share of hard knocks in this world, but I ' ve taken them all as she told me to. And when they condemned me for life, I took the sentence that belonged to someone else with a smile on my lips and with my body erect. When my supposedly staunch friends deserted me, she believed in me and told me the same thing again as she sent me away forever. Home! Why, you don ' t know what it does mean. I know what it used to mean to me — a good meal, a clean bed, and a place to hang my hat when I didn ' t have anywhere else to go. But I ' ve found out differently, as you will, too. I ' d give anything in this world to be sitting by the fireside with my Mother by my side, telling her humorous anecdotes of the day ' s toil, reading to her, laughing, and being com- forted. I didn ' t appreciate it then, but I ' d gladly give these sixteen years of agony over again if I knew I would realize what home meant at the end of that time. I ' m going home tomorrow — to that little vine-covered cottage by the side of the road with the sharp smell of the sea, the sweet fragrance of the flowers, the hum of the bees, the warm rays of friendly sunshine, the beautiful songs of the birds, and with Mother amidst it all. I ' m going home to rest, to quiet, to peace, to comfort, to love, and to Mother. V. Bridges THE TATTLETALE 55 Class History 193 1 OUR FRESHMAN YEAR On a September morning four years ago, we entered Attleboro High School, a crowd of sophisticated youngsters who considered ourselves grown up. The upper-classmen soon took this out of our heads, however, for they made us feel more like a cage of monkeys than anything else. The Seniors even had us believing there were elevators. After this period of our infancy has passed, we settled down to work. The upper-classmen became our idols, and we imitated them in everything, so naturally, when they held elections and selected their officers, we did likewise. The result was that Albert Corbett became our first President, assisted by Helen Richardson as Vice-President; Rhoda Thurber, Secretary and Ruth Chase our banker. It was not long before our Rio Rita , Rita Lane, had noticed the senior boys ' class rings, and began to wonder how to go about securing them for us. Our second class meeting was called, and she, with the help of Muriel Hinds and President Corbett, was chosen to find out for us. By this time Rita Bussiere and Betty Bergh had gotten up enough courage to push and shove for the first place in front of the mirror, and were soon learning the art of making- up from the senior girls. The boys also were improving their appearances, especially Frankie Angevine, who had lengthened his trouser legs. When the first social of the year was announced, Bisko Byers and Howie Rice decided they had better learn to dance. The night of the social, they almost tripped over each other running after the senior girls for dances. When the time of our social arrived, we surprised the upper-classmen by introducing balloons as part of our decorations. They had to admit that it was a pretty good idea, and we were accepted as classmen by our elders. In spite of many difficulties, we enjoyed our freshman year immensely and looked forward with eagerness to be- coming sophomores. OUR SOPHOMORE YEAR To our great delight we entered the second year of our high school career. What a glorious feeling to know we shouldn ' t be picked on by the upper-classmen as we had been during our Freshman Year. We, the Class of 1931, became Sophomores. It was with great satisfaction that we could look at the incoming Freshies. How small they were — why, mere children, while we were part of the upper-classmen now and began distinguishing ourselves as such. Like all classes, we had our troubles with the political campaign, but finally elected Franklin Angevine, President; Helen Richardson, Vice-President; Mazie Obrist, Secretary, and Ruth Chase, to take care of our finances. Many of our classmates, who had watched with interest the doings of the Blue Owl Staff, now became members, showing their ability in different departments. j Others struggled for positions on the varsity squads. | Many received honors. Why, wasn ' t Richard Alexander | the chief of tlie wiitcr boys on the baseball team with Austin Smith as ofiicial iiiaseot? Then our track star, Edward Paton, for a little cxcrciso one day, passed himself twice and broke the school rccoid in the quarter mile. It is probably needless to add that this was the year our class angels, Howard Rice and Raymond Byers, began sprouting wiiijis, oi- jierhaps they were trying to keep on even terms witli our class cut-up, Angevine, who received this honorable position at the Sophomore Social when he showed his dominance in competition with Laban Bond and Michael Tatarian in fighting to serve the teachers refreshments. The feminine portion of our student body was also active. Some received considerable attention from some of the boys of the class who sat in the royal balcony. Florence Tabberner, Myrtle Worden and Doris Dumican made good on the girls ' basketball squad. We were nearing the close of our Sophomore year. After many disappointments or successes we wondered what the Junior year held in store for us. With the best of intentions we left our Sophomore year and looked forward with high expectations to our Junior Year. OUR JUNIOR YEAR We entered our Junior Year realizing more than ever that now some of the responsibility of the school lay on our shoulders. Soon we would be taking up the work the Seniors would leave us. However, we took over our share with willingness and entered all school activities with zeal. Our first problem was the election of class officers. The successful politicians were Austin Smith, the woman hater. President; Clark Holt, our tennis star, Vice-President; Mazie Obrist, Secretary; while Ruth Chase was again elected banker. Football, our most popular game, did not lack Juniors. We were also well represented in basketball, baseball and track. One of our most outstanding events was when Eddie Paton, the Junior sheik, became Captain of the track team. Perhaps we weren ' t proud of him as he stood upon this platform giving track notices! On rare occasions we were favored with solos from the well-known tenor, Bobby Rounseville. And how that boy could sing! When Bobby crooned one of his love songs, a general sniffing could be heard among the lovesick in the balcony. When the third quarter honor roll was announced, who was the only student in the whole high school to receive all A ' s? Was it a Senior? No. Was it a Freshman or Sophomore? Most certainly not. It was a Junior, of course, and someone we are very proud of — Lois Brown. We created a new sensation when we gave a favor to each girl attending the Junior Social. Prizes were also given for the best waltzing and fox-trotting. At last the end of the third year had come and with it regret, but nevertheless, pleasant anticipation of becoming Seniors. 56 THE TATTLETALE OUR SENIOR YI-AR Our longed for year had finally come. After toiling for three years we had ai-rived at what was to be one of the best years in high school, and had become dignified Seniors. It was now we could command respect from th( low( r class- men. But responsil)ility also surrounded us; for we must set a good exam]ile, which we readily did. We were Seniors in every sense of the word. We realized that we must have a governing liody to hold our overflowing spirits in check; so in a final political campaign we elected Austin Smith as President for his second successive year with Thomas Wallace as Mce-Presi- dent. jNIazie Obrist, because of her ability and character, was our Secretary for her third successive term with Florence Tabberner, Treasurer. We were well represented on the athletic teams. Austin Smith again received promotion to the Captain of the baseball team — from mascot to captain — quite a jump for a little boy like Austin. Clark Holt and Thomas Wallace were captain of basketball and track respectively. Doris Dumican, our star girl athlete, was captain of the girls ' basketball team. Our hea yweight football player, Bisko Byers, certainly loves water. He was always glad when the bucket came out on the field. Why, he even liked water so much that one day while canoeing at Bungay, he saw the reflection of Gordon Johnston in the water, and mistaking it for a goldfish, took a l)eautiful swan dive into the sparkling liquid. A tidal wa •e followed, but everything came out all right — but slightly wet. The Senior Social proved a great success in every way. My, but how children do progress; Billy Lewis and Elhs Rietzel actu;dly came to the social; while Laban Bond and Howard Rice hud gone so far as to learn how to dance, much to the regret of some of the girls. Weren ' t we thrilled and amazed when the school play was given? Ice Bound w-as the name, but it soon warmed up when that cave man lover, Ervin Gross, commenced his love-making. And Alvin Parker, what a real hardboiled graTulpa he ' tl make, and who did not admire the wonderful acting of Natalie Pollard, Frieda Bellon, Gordon Johnston and Robert Rounseville. The Tufts Glee Club Concert, followed by a dance, was enjoyeil immensely by everyone and proved a great success The Blue Owl, under the leadership of Philip Athanas as Editor-in-Chief and a competent staff, proved even better than in former years. One issue was dedicated to each of the four classes. At the concert by our Glee Club and Orchestra, the big noises, Tony Caranicolas and Joe O ' Donnell, proved they could make more noise than Joe Keil ' s car, which might be possible. The days of miracles have not passed, for the Senior Class produced a real male quartet consisting of Bob Rounse- ville, Ervin Gross, Frank Burt and Alvin Parker. As our soloist. Bob Rounseville began to sing; everyone was forced to look twice to make sure it wasn ' t Rudy Vallee. We have been successful in producing a poet and other things in Franklin Angevine, but nobody dreamed he could write a song until he produced one which was chosen as the class song. We accepted this as inevitable, and applied it, lofty as it may be, to our every day life. It was with great pleasure we received the announcement that Lois Brown and Mazie Obrist had received the highest scholastic honors and were chosen aladictorian and Saluta- torian respectively. With this evening we bring to a close our high school careers. For some it is just the beginning of further educa- tional work. The foundation we have received here is non-parallel. The friends we have made, both in student body and faculty, are mainstays for a hfetime. We have had a great time as the Class of 1931, and it is with sad hearts we leave Attleboro High School to journey farther into life. Although we cannot repay, we sincerely appreciate all that has been done for us by our teachers and everyone connected with the high school. With these things in mind w ' e shall go out into life to accomplish results with the help of our Class Motto Deeds, Not Words.

Starting with only a few members, a foundation was built which resulted in a club of many members and an or- ganization that is a credit to the high school. R. Curtis Reed, Jr., was the first president, and to him a great deal of credit is due, for the early start it had and the results achieved. Purpose: To be my own self at my very best at all times.

This year, although the team was hard hit by the 1930 graduation, we put a team on the field which was without any doubt on par with those of other years. We won the majority of our games and Coach Ray Grayson is to be con- gratulated on developing a winning team from a stock of new material. Although we lost the annual classic to North, it was no Football disgrace because Xorth has been saving up that walloping all during their scoreless years. Wallace, Guimond, P.

Girls ' Basketball The girls ' basketball team passed through a very success- ful season this year. We say very because they hold the only athletic verdict over North Attleboro made this year by any A. H. S. athletic squad. With such seniors as Florence Tabberner, Dot Dumican and Myrt Worden in their ranks, they sprung the unusual by decisively trouncing the North lasses on North ' s floor after taking a similar whipping on their own floor. Coach Marjorie Morrell did excellent work as the season progressed, which is clearly shown by the improvement of wins and the decrease of losses. 64 THE TATTLETALE TRACK TEAM -Photo by O Ne.l Bottom Row — R.

With placement men in every event, Cooney ' s men decisively whipped New Bedford Vocational, The Brockton Junior Varsity, East Providence High and lost in a very clo.se meet to the alumni, when several of our track men had an off day. The team placed fourth in a class of nine at the Rhode Island State Interscholastic Meet on May ninth, winning two gold and two silver medals for first and second places respec tively. Such seniors as Phil Athanas, who was the high scorer for the year, going undefeated throughout the whole year in the shot put; Howard Rice and Ed Paton, who were tie for second scoring honors; Captain Tommy Wallace, Ervin Gross, Frank Burt, Ray Wing, Howie Rounseville, Ray Byers, Elbie Bond, Frank Angevine, and some underclass- men, namely, Maurice Miller, Ray Sears, Arnold Walton and James Shockroo, all contributed greatly to the wins. Two records fell this year when Phil Athanas added ahnost five feet to the shot put record, which has stood for seven years. The second record fell when a crack relay team, con- sisting of Captain Tommy Wallace, Howie Rice, Ray Sears, and Maurice Miller, clipped off almost six seconds from a previously existing record. This was done at the New England Champion Relay Carnival at La Salle. Special mention must be given Coach Ray Cooney, who developed this year the best all-around team in A. H. S. history.

Boys ' Basketball This year the basketball team passed through a very remarkable season, winning all their games except two which they lost by one point and the two North games. The first game with North ended very unsatisfactorily to both schools, but goes into history as a North win. North Easton, Dedham, Mansfield, Durfee, Providence Tech, Nautical, and Worcester North all fell victims to the Grayson attack. Several seniors, namely. Captain Clarke Holt, Tite Cosgrove, Austin Smith, Mayor Fales, Richie Alexander, Vinny Kelley and several underclassmen. Spec Clegg, Tommy Becker, Skinny Wood, John Wightman, Pete Duffy, Tiny Armell, made up a creditable A. H. S. basketball team. Several of these underclassmen, who made their varsity this year, will be back next year to duplicate this record. 66 THE TATTLETALE BASEBALL TEAM Bottom Row — P. Duffy, S. Dalton, C. ' ilmarth, V.

With first class mateiial on hand, such as Captain Austin Smith, Richie Alexander, Pete Duffy, Starkey Dalton, Chick Wilmarth and others, the team has been playing list- less ball all season. Errors at critical times have been costly to list of wins and losses, but under the leadership of Coach Ray Grayson the team is making an effort to win the remainder of its games. We lost our first game with North Attleboro in a nip and tuck affair in the last inning, when, with two men on, a Northie whacked out a double. THE TATTLETALE 67 eras FOR MEN? ONLY!!

LUMBER AND BUILDING MATERIALS OUT OF FOCUS! Your eyes are little cameras with lenses and shutters which automatically adjust themselves to different con- ditions of distance and light. These lenses are not fool proof; abuse and overwork can do them serious damage. The most common eyesight troubles are caused by de- fects in the lens focusing apparatus and can be correct- ed by wearing glasses to supplement the lenses which nature provides. If your eyes are out of focus , consult your local eye- sight specialist at once. BAY STATE OPTICAL CO. ENGRAVING ELECTROTYPE CO. 20 MATHEWSON ST,- PROVIDENCE. R.I. ] Compliments of DR. CLARENCE N.

Attleboro Trust Company 6 NORTH MAIN ST. THE TATTLE TALE Straight for the Goal! When the bcill rises gracefully and drops over the goal posts, and the score is 7 to 0 in your favor — well, it ' s hard to express the feeling in words. You forget, for a moment, the hard line plunges and interrupted runs that made the first six points possible. In the game of life, it is often the first six points, the first six or sixty dollars earned and saved, that count. If you work straight toward your goal, consistent gains eventually bring victory whether it is in winning a football game or in attaining success in life. By sacrificing unimportant things now and by forming the habit of saving while you are young, you may enjoy in later life many of the pleeisures and comforts that result from achieving financial independence. Begin saving today— for tomorrow cT icFlRSTNATIONALBANK o ATTLEBORO 3C THE TATTLETALE 95 TABLE OF CONTENTS ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Page An Appreciation 2 Dedication to Miss Ruth A.
