Throughout our liistory people have been striving to give their children the very Iw ' st educa- tional opiKirtunities. When tlic Pilgrim.- came td .Massachusetts, they brought with them the ideals and customs of their Mother Country. .Many of these Pilgrims were educated n:en. They were all willing to undergo physical hardships, but never in- tellectual deprivations. Therefore these settlers very early set up schools patterned after those which the Pilgrims had attended in I ' lnglantl. Tlies( schools were democratic. They were openetl to the rich and the poor, and were suj)- ported by all the townsmen with a remarkable spirit of co- operation and helpfulness. The precedent thus established In ' the Pilgrims has become tlie policy of the Nation. In no country is educa- tion so imjiortant to the people as in the United States. No- where are the teacliers .so al)le and willing to help their students. Nowhere are citizens and parents so determined that children shall liave the best opportunities. Why is it so important that there be educational ad- vantages for all? Life has b(-en given to us as a precious gift, and it is our reasonalile duty to make the best of our- selves. It is only through education that we can discover our own abilities so tliat we may follow that career in life in which we shall be most happy, and which will end in success. Education helps to train and develoj) the mind so that any problem in life can lie solved instantly without fear and with success. Education gives an invalual)le training in dis- cipline. It creates life-long hal)its of punctuality and industry which result in the ability to make ourselves do the thing which has to be done, when it ought to be done, whether it is (-njoyable or not. Education developes all the higher (lualities of character — thoughtfulness, respect, hones- ty, and patience. Education means more than learning facts from a text book; it means learning how to live with others. We must always live with other people, and this is a much more difficult problem now than it was years ago. The remarkalile prog- ress made in the field of invention has created new social problems. Rapid means of communication bj ' telephone, wireless, and radio, and facilities of travel by automobile, railroad and airplane have brought us all closer together and our lives have become more sympathetic. Millions of people have come to our shores from every race and country in the world. It is our task to assimulate tliese people and make intelligent citizens out of them. To accompUsh this end we need ti ' ained minds that will be al)le to think these things tlirough and form valual)le conclusions. Thi type of person is veiy likely to attract attention and become the leader in his connnunity Ix ' cau-c he has had an education which tarings social prestige antl social position. If education were valuable for no other reason it would pay by the pleasure and happiness it brings into f)ne ' s life. Schooldays mean days of delightful enjoyment and days of happy friendships which are everlasting; Itut, when school- days are over there will bi ' hosts of wonderful ir ' irories which will never die. Tlien our lives will 1k ' complete ' if we have the abihty to ajijireciate the finer things in life— art, literature, music, nature, etc. I ' Vw peoj)le really know how to make proper use of tlieii ' leisuic time. ' Hiey have not learned to be happy though alon ' , and often this leads to actual crime. But what enjoyal)le hours a good book can g ' ve! How inspiring a visit to an art gallery can be! How quickly all lonesomeness is forgotten under the iragic spell (jf music! Uniloubtedly the greatest benefit of education is this ap- preciation of the finer tilings in life. It has l)( cn the good fortune of us all to be born an American citizen, but it is entirely up to each of us individual- ly whether we are to be good or poor citizens. It we are to be good citizens we must follow the ideals of our forefathers. There is no Ix ' tter way to learn what these ideals were, why they were accepted, and how they have been applied to .serious problems, then by studying our past history and by metlitating upon the lives of our greatest men. We nuist also IxTome accjuainted witli the prol)lems coming up every day in our state and national affairs. With a knowledge of our past as an inspiration, we may be lietter prepared to reach wise decisions in the important problems which are given us to solve. If we are to live up to the.se obligations we must make use of every opportunity of education. In so doing the United States will never lose its title of greatest nation in the world. ' aledictory : Tonight we have come to the end of our High School career, and we must leave this school where we have spent four of the happiest years of our lives. If we remember that •■Without effort there is no succ; ' .ss, our lives will prove that this marvelous education has not been given to us in vain, and we shall be a credit to our school, our city, and our country. THE TATTLETALE 55 The Measure of Success Prize Essay by Louise Lobdell, Salidatorian You, our parents, our relatives, our friends, have come here this evening to see us, the graduates of the Class of 1932, given our formal launching from the dry dock of so- called easy, care-free days of school life into a vast ocean where from now on we must be our own pilots. Up to this time, we have been mainly directed by the care and ex- perience of our fathers and mothers. Even though we are often said to disobey, rebel against, and flee from their admonitions, still both parents and children know that the idea has been carried home straight to our hearts and minds, where it may lie somewhat dormant to be sure, but nevertheless subtly influencing and guiding us. Supplementing the training of our home environment, our teachers have tried, besides instructing us in languages, mathematics, history, and sciences, to bring to us fine ideals of honesty, stewardship, dependability, and perseverance — such characteristics as must be firmly entrenched in the very souls of the young people if they are to make the right choices, the choices which will bring true happiness and real value into their lives, and moreover into the character of their govern- ment which must be run and supported by men with great moral strength if our democratic nation is to survive. From now on, many of our decisions, both those of small temporary importance, and those which will influence our entire lives, must be made according to our own judgment. Our parents and teachers have strived to give us such a foundation as will support and bring forth the sort of selec- tions which will be for our own well being. Now it is up to us, if we have any pride, to prove that they have succeeded and that we are capable of discriminating in favor of those things which are uplifting, honest, worthwhile and of more than material value. During our four years in high school, our teachers have been endeavoring to train us how to earn a living. In the commercial courses, one can plainly see that all study is placed on business — money, debts and credits, balances, all absolutely material things to which we must apply ourselves in the business of living. The wealthy man is naturally held up as being a greater success than the one who is needy. In every pupil ' s brain the lesson is attempted to be drilled that one must be as swift, accurate, and keenly alert as possible in order to make a great success of himself — the success, of course, being measured in terms of money and earthly possessions. In the college and technical courses, through the lan- guages one obtains more of the thoughtful side of human life, the inspirations, aspirations, downfalls and uprisings, the passions and joy and despair of mankind; nevertheless, much of this is passed over lightly and soon forgotten while the ever present reality is that we ' ve got to pass this course and that course in order to get out of high school so we can get into college from which we must manage in some way to extract a diploma in order that we may carry it into the offices of a firm by which we wish to be employed — all to earn money! It is not the fault of the high schools. Their time is limited. They must give us a foundation so that we can take care of ourselves financially. They are doing a wonder- ful work in preventing boys and girls from later on becoming public charges on account of complete ignorance of a know ledge of being self-supporting. The teachers strive to get even the required routine work done in the short length of time given them. However, with the help of our English teachers, we depart quite a distance from the world of fact and materiaUsm, and enter a realm of imagin: ti()n and emotion. Here we certainly learn of extremely deep feeling, for authors, painters, musicians, and other artists seem to have the most varied and intense feeling of all people. Some one has said that the only difference between artists and other people is that the artist has felt more, lived more deeply, and expressed himself more adequately than the rest of us. In the study of their lives, we often find that they lived in the midst of great pecuniary adversity and yet they were happy. They were producing works that came directly from their hearts and souls, thoughts that were real, vital, and enduring. They often felt they had to write — they were impelled by a force from within. Those of us who go to college will be given the oppor- tunity to study from books what phsychologi-sts believe to be the workings of the human mind. Our professors will endeavor to teach us how to get along with other people, and what is of more importance, how to get along with our- selves. But, like those who do not go to college, we must do most of the work ourselves, and we won ' t find any books which will tell us word for word how to treat this situation and that, how to act in crises, and how to know the right from the wrong. The art of living, which we cannot learn from written texts, is the most important thing in life — so very, very far ahead of that of earning great sums of money. I do not wish to give the idea that I think the world can exist on fine thoughts and ideals alone. But it certainly cannot live without them! Every man and woman, in whatever line he or she had earned his or her living, to finish life serenely and well, must have lived according to his ideas of right and wrong. Ivar Kreuger, the greatest financier in Europe, and supposedly worth millions of dollars, could not live with himself any longer. Though he was thought by the world to possess envied success, what a failure his life really was. No one admires his dishonesty, and now no one respects him be- cause of this debasing characteristic. What is worse, he realized so keenly that he would be forever discredited that though he had the courage to die, he did not have it to live! Let us remember, 0 Classmates of 1932, as we com- mence this period of our fives, with most of life before us, that to leave the world a better place because we have lived in it, and to make our lives worthwhile, we must place above gold and silver and property, the enduring qualities of life — courage, faith, loyalty, and love, those for which alone a man merits this beautiful tribute: He has made a success of his fife. He has lived well. 56 THE TATTLETALE CLASS PROPHECY Jean Asliuri is ikiw tfachiii}:: liackward pujiils in fiiolo y.

They did not display the usual Freshie attitude of fear and timidity, but, rather, seemed to realize what a splendid opportunity was afforded them for advancement. After being welcomed by the faculty and our much- heralded upper-classmen, we were allowed to familiarize our- selves with some of the modern conveniences not experienced in the grades. Wo were not entirely disappointed to find that neither elevators nor escalators formed a part of the equipment of this great educational institution! After the introductory experience, we settled down to what we expected to be hard, unpleasant work but which, to our happy surprise, proved to be fascinating and interest- ing. In fact, it was rumored that many absences were caused by exhaustion from carrying books to and fro. Of course this was good training for those who were preparing to become agriculturists and engineers but hardly suitable for those studying to be sculptors and musicians. By the way, we were upset one day when one of our inquisitive members stated that he heard Mr. Gibb was going to resign as musical director to take up electrical work because of the splendid experience he had had in teaching the freshmen how to keep static out of their instruments! Athletics received its usual recognition, and we were well represented in football, basketball, baseball, and track by Tommy Becker, Speed Dalton and others. As the year rolled along, the time arrived for the election of officers, which is always a very important event for Freshmen. The class-office campaign was ushered in with the usual signs of the glad hand , showers of beaming smiles, and in general an atmosphere was created which encouraged wholehearted support. However, unusual good judgment prevailed and we elected the following officers: Basil Simms, President; Madeline Redding, Vice-President; Mildred Pye, Secretary; Mu-iam Broadbent, Treasurer. With this group of efficient executives in command, we had no fear for the outcome of the class of 1932. Naturally the biggest social event of the year was the Freshman Hop. 58 THE TATTLE TALE The year now drawing to a close was crowned with such splendid scholastic and social attainiiu nts that we looked forward to the coiiiiii i year with dauntless courage. OUR SOPHOMORE YEAR To our great joy and flelight we entered our second year, confident that we were superior in every way to the present Freshmen and aching to bring forth upon them our pent up emotions. We were soon organized under the generalship of Basil Simms, President; Bradford Tj ' ndall, Vice-Pn i(lent : Katherine Johnson, Secretary: and Miriam BroadlM ' nt, Treasur( r. First, athletics captunnl our attention as Sophomores antl to our surpris( and joy Tom Becker and Sterling Dalton were sodii on the varsity eleven, while Dan Gilroy and (Jeoi-gc Clegg timshfd the hasketl)all season with first string positions, ' hen spring rolled arounil, we were well repre- sented on the diamond by Pete Duffy, George Glegg, and Frank Higginbotham. Who will evei- forget the big snow storm that greeted us on the night of our social and the boxes of chocolates that were given to the girls while the dance floor fairly groaned under its load of confetti? At ass( ' iHl)ly one morning Dorothy Gameron and Grace Lennox surprised us by giving a violin duet, and they have been hailed every since as musicians extraordinary. Byron Caronicolas upheld the masculine element of our class so well that for weeks after one of his solos Sophomore vest buttons were snapping off whenever music was mentioned. The efficiency of the Blue Owl staff was increased greatly by the assistance of the following Sophomores: David Slattery, Louise Lobdell, Madelyn Redding, Alice Ingerson, Bill Blackwell and Basil Simms. ' e had done our work w( ll as Sophomores, and al- though saddened by occasional disappointments, we faced the challenge of Junior Year with eager enthusiasm. OUR JUNIOR YEAR With a confidence gained by experience, we now entered upon the third year of our course, determined that we should reach the h(Mght of our ambitions, established two years ago. As usual, the helpful and gviiding hand of the faculty assisted in forming a character upon which a sound future could be built. In the early part of the fall term several matters came up for the consideration of the class, among the first of which was the election of officers. The successful candidates were the same as those of the Sophomore year: Basil Simms, President; Bradford Tyndall, Vice-President: Katherine Johnson, Secretary; and Miriam Broadljent, Treasurer. Our attention was next focused on the participation of our classmates in football. Tomnn ' Becker was made captain, an honor which he justly deserved. Others won distinction in basketi)all, baseball, and track. The girls ' basketball team did such creditable work that it added honor and glory to our athletic history. The social events were among the out.standing features of our activities, particularly our Junior social. We cannot overlook the benefits received from the school clubs, as well as from the Torch Glub and the Hi-Y. These associations have implanted pleasant memories that will long be remem- bered. The .seriousness of our school work had many interrup- tions. Several of the boys had reached the age of sixteen and had olitained licenses to drive cars. These young men were possessed with the idea that speed was the greatest factor in the world and the keynote of modern progress. They contended that motion was most helpful to brain activity and declared some of their best school work was though out under these conditions. Such were the incidents that helped lighten the burden of our daily work and to stimulate the mind for greater effort in the development of our education. As the year came to a close, we were impressed with a deeper understanding and a more serious thought for the respcjnsibilities just ahead of us. OUR SENIOR YEAR The year of years finally was upon us. Many of the girls allowed their hair and skirts to lengthen, while the boys developed a swagger and ego suitable for such a noteworthy rank as that of Senior. Surprises of surprises, we elected Dorothy Gameron as our class president, the first girl president in the history of Attleboro High School, and she was ably aided in running our class by Bradford Tyndall, Vice-President; Katherine Johnson, Secretary: and Miriam Broadbent, Treasurer. Our class numerals again appeared after the names of many of the players on the athletic teams. Sterling Dalton was elected captain of football, while Dorothy Cameron was captain of the girls ' basketball team. One of the many important events of this year was the Senior Social at which free cider was gurgled by everj ' one who could get near the cider kegs. Brad Tyndall perfected his art of cutting in, and Gharlie Gain demon.strated his mastery of the fox-trot. The Blue Owl and Tattletale staffs, under the leadership of Basil Simms and a competent staff, gave us much to be proud of in school publications. One issue was dedicated to each of the four classes. lilestones — not Tombstones — was the name of our Senior play, and who will forget the old grouch, Louis Young; tho.se old spinsiters, Ro.salind Gonlan and Barbara Read; the perfect lovers, Althea Healey and Alexander Karol, and the wonderful acting of ELsa Johnson, David Slattery, Thorsten Garlson, Bradford Tyndall, Joseph Murphy, Alberta Gibbs and Basil Shnms. The Northeastern Glee Glub Goncert and Dance proved a great success and was enjoyed by everyone. It was with pride and appreciation that we announced the names of Jean Asbury and Louise Lobdell, our valedic- torian and salutatorian respectively, who have contributed so much to the maintenance of high scholastic standing at Attleboro High School. To Leah Felts goes the honor of composing our class song. Our orchestra, with Dorothy Gameron as concert mis- tress, went to Norwood and won second place at the music festival held there. Thus, on this eventful night, we bring to a close our glorious life as undergraduates of dear old Attleboro High School. We regret to think that this is the last time we shall be together as members of the high school. We sincerely THE TATTLETALE 59 appreciate all that has been done for us by teachers and but whatever the future hf)lds for us, may we never forget everyone connected with the high school antl hope to keep out motto, Without effort, no success. them as our lifelong friends along with our classmates.

Football Although they dropped the majority of their games, a hard fighting Bkie and Miite football team more than redeemed themselves by pounding out a 1.3-7 victory over our time-honored rivals. North Attlel oro higli. Coach Ray Grayson had a hne squad out but injuries handicapped him during the season. The team lost six and won two. Those who l)eat us included Milford, Taunton, Walpole, Marlboro, Mansfield and FairliavcMi, while our boys defeated Franklin and North Attleboro. Ray Millian has been elected captain of the team for the 1932-33 season. The players lost this year through graduation include Don Lange, Frank Higginbotham, Brad Tj ndall, Captain Starkey Dalton, Tommy Becker, Al Johnson, Maurice Miller and Ralph Whittemore. Among the nio. ; promising candidates for next year are Captain-elect Ray MiUian, Len Dwyer, Eddie Clegg, Bobo Caswell, Harvey Bussiere, Butch Briggs, Bobby Lewis, Harold Berberian, Jerry Wightman, Dave Breault, Joe O ' Hina, Jim Shockroo, Earl Liberty, Plug INIorin, Buzz Andrews, Skceter Smith, Ken Allard, Cliff Fielding, George Clegg, Swetle Carlson, Halko and Guimond.

H. S. baseball team went through a very mediocre season. At this writing, on the eve of the first North game, the team to date has won three games and lost six, but are favorites to upset North. Hold- ing wins in football, two in basketball, the ball team is going to try to clean up the two-game baseball series with North and this makes it a clean sweep for the Blue and White in all boys ' athletic contests with the North team. P ' arl Ware, lanky Featherville freshman twirler, has pitched good ball for the team thus far and our losses have been due to errors and lack of hitting rather than by pitching. The team which plays this year will be together again next year and we look forward to a most successful season then. Of the nine regulars, only one can graduate and even his place could be filled. With such a veteran team the high school ball tossers should certainly clean up next season. Boys ' Tennis The boys ' tennis team, consisting of Thomson, Black- burn, Rotenberg, Greenberg, Payette and Carlson, the captain, has been very active this season under the manage- ment of Richard Thomson. In their first match on May 3, the team was defeated by Cranston, 3-0. On May 9, they were defeated by Durfee, 1-1. The point for Attloboro was won when Thomson and Carlson, in a doul)le set, defeated their opponents by a 7-5, 0-4 score. Attleboro was again unsuccessful on May IG in the return match against Cranston with the score 3-1. On May 18, Durfee beat Attleboro again, 4-1. The scorer for the local team was Thomson. The team came away with a win on May 19 when they played Northeastern with a score of 2-1 . Carlson was the scorer for Attleboro. On May 2 ' , the boys took part in the tournament at Longwood, but came home defeated with a 5-1 score. On May 23, Attleboro did a good job in defeat- ing Norwood 4-.1 Thomson, Carlson and Blackburn were scorers in the singles, while Rotenberg and Greenberg were successful in the doubles. 62 THE TATTL ' ET7ALE BOYS ' BASKETBALL TEAM Thoto by O ' Neil First row--D.

Track Despite the fact there were only four letter men left from last year, a team has been developed by Coach Ray Cooney which is capable to putting up a good fight to most schools. Although failing to place in the annual Rhode Island State Interscholastic meet, all of the fellows who competed made a good showing, but the competition was a little too stiff for them. Oliver Ames High of North Easton was an easy victim for their onslaught and they also put over a very convincing win on the Brockton Junior Varsity. With two other meets scheduled, the team is gradually rounding into good form. In the interclass track meet for the L. G. Balfour trophy, the sophomores managed to win out over the seniors by a half a point. The juniors and freshmen were well represented and they followed close on the heels of the seniors. Such stars as Capt. Sears, Cunningham, Shockroo, Miller, WoU, Caswell, Annis, Guimond, Fielding, and others, all contributed greatly to their wins. 64 THE TATTLETALE GIRLS ' BASKETBALL TEAM ■ hoto by O ' Neil Back row (left to right) — Rita Galligan, Elizabeth Bcllavance, Ruth Bowman, Doris Maigret Middle row — Miss Farr, Coach; Virginia McLeod, Dorothy Newton, Catherine Cosgrove, Ruth Manter, Agnes Trainor, Pauline White, Louise Hodges, Clarissa Stevens, Manager.

French Club The French Club has been quite active this year and has enjoyed many siicce.s.sful meetings under the direction of Miss Farr and Miss Pierce, French teachers. The meetings did not start right at the beginning of the school year. Our first meeting was held in December, at which time a Christmas Party was held. At the January meeting it was voted to have new pins. A committee was chosen to get some samples and bring them to the next meeting. At the February meeting the new pins were decided upon and the meinliers received them a few we ks after. At this meeting it was decided to call one aunt her Comrade. We hope the club in the years to come will follow out this itlea. At the .March meeting a St. Patrick ' s Day party was held. All members present had a good time. Decorations and refreshments were in keeping with the day. At the April meeting a play was given by members of the clul). It was called Une Comedie. As this was something different in the line of entertainment, it was enjoyed by all. At the next meeting it is expected that the officers for the next year will be chosen. In behalf of the officers of the club this year, I wish to thank all the members for their cooperation and to thank Miss Pierce and Mi.ss Farr for their help and work in trying to make this club a success.

Miss Dorothy Simonds aided the Club in all its technical problems. Many debates were held at the meetings every other week. Some informal discussions were also held. A very successful debate on Resolved — that the credit system is detrimental to the people was held with Norwood Senior High at the A. H. S Auditorium, December 8. Nor- wood won, but there were very good arguments on both sides. It was arranged with North Attleboro that the two schools have a debate next year. Norwood sent complimentary tickets for a debate to be held at Norwood and those from Attleboro who attended enjoyed the program very much.

Guyot — No ma ' am, half French. Bank Clerk — Now that you work in a theatre you can send me a few tickets for the theatre. Theatre Clerk — Certainly and in return you can send me a few notes from your bank. J. Murray — Say Brad, can mosquitoes weep? B. Tyndall — I don ' t know about mosquitoes, but haven ' t you seen a moth ball? COMPARATIVELY As the Freshmen say it — Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder whal y(tu are.

When the bedl 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 cind 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 goeJ, 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 plezisures and comforts that result from achieving financial independence.
